PGD3 is the manifestation of ischemia-reperfusion injury which results from inflammation and cell death and is associated with poor outcome. This systematic-review and meta-analysis of non-randomized controlled trials on patients undergoing Ltx with reconditioned lungs via EVLP, aims to assess the association between the levels of proinflammatory biomarkers during EVLP and PGD3 development within the firsts 72 h post-Ltx. Biomarkers were categorized by timing (1-hour, T0 and 4-hours, Tend from EVLPstart) and by their biological function (adhesion molecules, chemokines, cytokines, damage-associated-molecular-patterns, growth-factors, metabolites). We employed a four-level mixed-effects model with categorical predictors for biomarker groups to identify differences between patients with PGD3 and others. The single study and individual measurements were considered random intercepts. We included 8 studies (610 measurements at T0 and 884 at Tend). The pooled effect was 0.74 (p = 0.021) at T0, and 0.90 (p = 0.0015) at Tend. The four-level model indicated a large pooled correlation between developing PGD3 at 72 h post-Ltx and inflammatory biomarkers values, r = 0.62 (p = 0.009). Chemokine group showed the strongest association with the outcome (z-value = 1.26, p = 0.042). Pooled panels of inflammation markers, particularly chemokines, measured at T0 or at Tend, are associated with the development of PGD3 within the first 72 h after Ltx.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://osf.io/gkxzh/.

Published: January 2025

This paper aims to explore both experimental and modeling anaerobic digestion (AD) processes as innovative methods for managing the substantial quantities of spent coffee grounds (SCG) generated in Algeria, transforming them into valuable renewable energy sources (biogas/methane). AD of SCG, while promising, is hindered by its complex lignocellulosic structure, which poses a significant challenge. This study investigates the efficacy of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) pretreatment in addressing this issue, with a particular focus on enhancing biogas and methane production. The AD of SCG was conducted over a 46-day period, and the impact of H2O2 pretreatment was evaluated using laboratory-scale batch anaerobic reactors. Four different concentrations of H2O2 (0.5, 1, 2, and 4% H2O2 w/w) were studied in mesophilic conditions (37 ± 2) for 24 h at room temperature, providing basic data on biogas and methane production. The results showed a significant increase in soluble oxygen demand (SCOD) and total sugar solubilization in the range of 555.96–713.02% and 748.48–817.75%, respectively. The optimal pretreatment was found to be 4% H2O2 w/w resulting in 16.28% and 16.93% improvements in biogas and methane yield over the untreated SCG. Further, while previous research has established oxidative pretreatment efficacy, this study uniquely combines the empirical analysis of H2O2 pretreatment with a detailed kinetic modeling approach using the modified Gompertz (MG) and logistic function (LF) models to estimate kinetic parameters and determine the accuracy of fit. The MG model showed the most accurate prediction, thus making the present investigation a contribution to understanding the performance of the AD system under oxidative pretreatment and designing and scaling up new systems with predictability. These findings highlight the potential of H2O2-pretreated SCG as a more efficient and readily available resource for sustainable waste management and renewable energy production.

This study aimed to develop and characterize biodegradable films made from pectin, pomegranate seed oil, and different microalgae (Spirulina platensis, Chlorella sp., and Scenedesmus obliquus) and to evaluate their applicability as packaging by verifying their effect on the conservation and postharvest quality of cajarana (Spondias dulcis). The films proposed in this study were assessed for their physical, optical, and mechanical attributes, as well as the physicochemical characteristics of the fruits coated with the films after 14 days of storage at 10 ± 1 °C and relative humidity of 60 ± 5%. Incorporating microalgae improved the homogeneity and mechanical properties, decreasing breaking stress, elastic modulus, and maximum tensile strength, contributing to a lower solubility and improving the barrier properties of the films compared to the control (T1). The film formulated with 6% citric pectin, 40% glycerin, 0.5 mL·L−1 pomegranate seed oil (PSO), and 0.05% Scenedesmus obliquus showed better performance in solubility, water vapor permeability (WVP), and mechanical properties, maintaining gloss and transparency, approaching the performance of the commercial PVC film. The film was formulated with 6% pectin + 40% glycerin + 0.5 mL·L−1 PSO + 0.05% Chlorella sp. maintained the postharvest quality of cajarana fruits, allowing the conservation of the physicochemical quality of the fruits after 14 days of storage at 10 ± 1 °C and 60 ± 5% RH.

Эффективность лесной мелиорации на склоновых землях в засушливых условиях
Authors: Корнеева Е.А. 
Published: January 2025

В мире экологические проблемы, связанные с сельским хозяйством, уже продолжительное время решаются с помощью лесной мелиорации. Международное научное сообщество проявило интерес к этому инновационному методу обеспечения устойчивости сельских территорий, поскольку он обладает огромным потенциалом для улучшения состояния почвенного покрова и окружающей среды в засушливых регионах, а также повышения уровня жизни сельского населения. Основным используемым методом для оценки эффективности лесной мелиорации являлось моделирование защитной лесистости угодий (соотношения защитных лесных насаждений и севооборотов) и системный анализ полученных данных. Затраты, связанные с созданием лесомелиоративных комплексов, рассчитывались с использованием базового ресурсного подхода. Выгоды от присутствия деревьев в агроландшафте оценивались с помощью метода общей экономической ценности их экосистемных услуг. Было установлено, что общая стоимость мероприятий по противоэрозионной лесной мелиорации склонов в засушливых условиях колеблется от 5,5 до 12,5 тыс. руб. в расчете на гектар покрытой лесом площади и напрямую зависит от крутизны склона, уровня защитной лесистости и метода, используемого для создания лесных насаждений. В то же время выгоды, получаемые от систем лесомелиорации в виде экосистемных услуг, превышают затраты на создание лесомелиоративных комплексов примерно в 9-14 раз.
In the world, environmental problems related to agriculture have been solved for a long time with the help of forest reclamation. The international scientific community has shown interest in this innovative method of ensuring the sustainability of rural areas, as it has great potential to improve the state of soil cover and the environment in arid regions, as well as improve the standard of living of rural populations. The main method used to assess the effectiveness of forest reclamation was the modeling of protective forest cover (the ratio of protective forest stands and crop rotations) and a systematic analysis of the data obtained. The costs associated with the creation of forest reclamation complexes were calculated using a basic resource approach. The benefits of the presence of trees in the agricultural landscape were assessed using the method of the total economic value of their ecosystem services. It was found that the total cost of measures for anti-erosion forest reclamation of slopes in arid conditions ranges from 5.5 to 12.5 thousand rubles per hectare of forested area and directly depends on the steepness of the slope, the level of protective forest cover and the method used to create forest plantations. At the same time, the benefits received from forest reclamation systems in the form of ecosystem services exceed the costs of creating forest reclamation complexes by about 9-14 times.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Semiconductor quantum dot arrays, a key platform for spin-based quantum computing, face scalability challenges due to the time-consuming manual tuning of potential landscapes. This paper proposes that combining minimal one-dimensional voltage sweeps with machine learning offers a practical method for automating the tuning of four separate single quantum dots, inspired by the Ray-based Classification framework. Our method successfully tunes single quantum dots in a GaAs quadruple quantum dot device, while reducing the complexity of data acquisition and simplifying the tuning process.

Sejak diimplementasikan tahun 2017, kepemilikan Kartu Identitas Anak (KIA) di Kota Sibolga masih sebesar 65,93% jauh di bawah kepemilikan akta kelahiran yang telah mencapai 99,72% di tahun 2023. Mitra kerja sama dalam pemanfaatan fungsi KIA, juga masih minim tercatat baru 5 mitra dan implementasinya pun belum optimal. Penelitian ini berusaha mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis dimensi-dimensi yang mempengaruhi implementasi kebijakan KIA serta mengkonstruksi model implementasi program pengembangan fungsi KIA yang ideal agar pemanfaatannya optimal. Teori Grindle (1980) terkait variabel Isi Kebijakan (content of policy), Konteks Implementasi (context of implementation) dan dimensi-dimensi yang mempengaruhinya digunakan untuk menganalisis permasalahan penelitian. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif, dengan pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi kebijakan KIA belum berdampak luas, karena dimensi jenis manfaat dari kebijakan KIA belum banyak dirasakan oleh masyarakat. Belum terlihat perubahan yang terjadi terhadap peningkatan pelayanan publik dan pemenuhan hak-hak anak. Demikian juga respon masyarakat dan para penyelenggara pelayanan publik terhadap kebijakan KIA masih lemah. Untuk mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan fungsi KIA, direkomendasikan Model RING (Resources, Innovation, Network Interaction, and Goals) Implementasi Program Pengembangan Fungsi KIA di Kota Sibolga. Disarankan kepada implementor agar memperluas kemitraan KIA dan menyusun peraturan kepala daerah yang mengatur tentang pemanfaatan KIA di Kota Sibolga.

Detection of Enhanced Germanium in a New Cool Extreme Helium Star A980: Insights and Implications
Authors: Saini Ajay Kumar , Pandey Gajendra 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
A fine abundance analysis of a recently discovered hydrogen-deficient carbon (HdC) star, A980, is presented. Based on the observed high-resolution optical spectrum, we ascertain that A980 is a cool extreme helium (EHe) star and not an HdC star. Singly ionized germanium Ge ii lines are identified in A980’s optical spectrum. These are the first-ever detections of germanium lines in an EHe star's observed spectrum and provide the first measurements of germanium abundance in an EHe star. The overabundance of germanium in A980’s atmosphere provides us with evidence for the synthesis of germanium in EHe stars. Among the known cool EHe stars, A980 exhibits a maximum enhancement of the s-process elements based on a significant number of transitions. The measured elemental abundances reveal signs of H-burning, He-burning, and specifically the nucleosyntheses of the key elements Ge, Sr, Y, Zr, and Ba. The nucleosyntheses of these key elements are discussed in light of asymptotic giant branch evolution and the expectation from the accretion of an He white dwarf by a C–O white dwarf or by a neutron star.
