Published: August 2023

Abstract
Household reverse osmosis (RO)-based water purifiers have gained popularity in India due to concerns about the quality of tap water. However, the widespread adoption of these systems has significant impacts on water pricing and the environment. The objective of this study was to assess the techno-economic performance and life cycle assessment (LCA) of household RO-based water purifiers in Srinagar city of North India. Our results demonstrate that household ROs reduce the concentration of important dietary minerals such as fluoride and magnesium in drinking water by 50%. In addition, the average total water cost from a household RO is three to four times more than what is being paid for tap water. Two different scenarios were compared in LCA. The first scenario was safe drinking water from a conventional drinking water treatment plant (scenario 1), while the second scenario was water from a household RO system (scenario 2). The results showed that the environmental impacts of abiotic depletion, acidification of water bodies, eutrophication, global warming and ozone depletion in scenario 2 were higher than in scenario 1. The findings infer that water utilities should encourage citizens to rely on conventional tap water as a cheaper and environmentally friendly option compared to household ROs.

Published: August 2023

En el análisis dinámico de proteinas, un objetivo importante es la descripción de los movimientos lentos de grandes amplitudes. Estos movimientos describen configuraciones de reordenamiento que son importantes para la función de la proteina. Estos reordenamientos pueden cambiar la superficie de exposición de la proteína, y por lo tanto, influenciar las interacciones con su entorno. En este artículo, estudiamos los modos de baja frecuencia de la hélice Terminal C de la ATP Sintasa de la subunidad Gamma. Tres métodos son comparados: Modos Browinanos, Modos Calpha y Modos de Potencial Simplificado. Los resultados sugieren que el extremo F, de la hélice es más rigido que otras partes. Esto es coherente con los recientes estudios donde se muestra como el extremo F, de la hélice trabaja como un eje cigueñal convirtiendo el movimiento de doblado y desdoblado de la subunidad Beta en movimiento rotacional. Además, a lo largo de la hélice, longitudes flexibles son seguidas de longitudes rígidas. Esta propiedad puede servir para suavizar el torque producido en el extremo de F, entregando un torque casi constante que es necesario para alcanzar la más alta eficiencia posible.
Seismic response of a five story building with isolation system and supplemental viscous dampers for peruvian seismicity
Authors: Taboada Saavedra Diego Enrique , Fernández-Dávila Víctor 
Published: August 2023

Projects with seismic isolation are increasing in Peru, even the Peruvian Seismic Standard establishes that seismic isolators must be used in hospitals located in seismic zones 4 and 3 of the Peruvian seismic map. It is also accepted that there may be isolated buildings on floors S0, S1, S2 and S3.
In isolated buildings that are in soil type S3 and seismic zone 4, maximum displacement values ​​are obtained. This involves the use of flexible connections, plus in some cases these offsets result in a smaller usable area of ​​the building. An alternative to reduce these displacements is the use of supplemental viscous dampers at the base of the isolated building, which adds damping to the isolation system. In this investigation, a mathematical model of a 5-story building with elastomeric isolators, located in seismic zone 4 and soil type S3, was evaluated. This model was then analyzed with supplemental viscous dampers, considering 5 different damping percentage conditions: 15%, 30%, 45%, 60% and 75%. For all analyses, 7 time history records compatible with Peruvian seismicity were used. Isolated base displacement reductions will be acquired up to 30% of their starting value. The variation of the responses (accelerations, deviations, shear forces and dissipated energy) was analyzed as a function of the increase in damping. It was verified that the Peruvian seismic combination of isolators and dampers tends to increase the responses of the superstructure.

Published: August 2023

Background
Adults with chronic health conditions need support to manage modifiable risk factors such as physical inactivity and poor diet. Disease-specific websites with health information on physical activity and diet quality may be effective in supporting adults in managing their chronic illnesses.

Objective
The primary aim of this review was to determine whether using websites with health information can lead to improvements in physical activity levels or diet quality in adults with chronic health conditions.

Methods
Randomized controlled trials evaluating the effectiveness of website use on levels of physical activity or diet quality in adults with chronic health conditions were included. MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database were searched from the earliest available record until February 2023. Data for outcomes measuring physical activity levels; diet quality; and, where reported, self-efficacy and quality of life were independently extracted by 2 reviewers. The risk of bias was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale, and the overall certainty of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach. Where values were presented as the same unit of measure, postintervention scores were pooled for meta-analysis to yield an overall mean difference (MD). A standardized MD (SMD) was calculated for the pooled data in which different units for the same outcome were used. Individual trial data were described in cases where the data of trials could not be pooled.

Results
A total of 29 trials (N=6418 participants) across 8 different disease groups with intervention periods ranging from 4 weeks to 12 months were included in the analysis. There was moderate-certainty evidence that using websites with health information increased levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MD=39 min/wk, 95% CI 18.60-58.47), quality of life (SMD=0.36, 95% CI 0.12-0.59), and self-efficacy (SMD=0.26, 95% CI 0.05-0.48) and high-certainty evidence for reduction in processed meat consumption (MD=1.1 portions/wk, 95% CI 0.70-1.58) when compared with usual care. No differences were detected in other measures of diet quality. There was no increased benefit for website users who were offered additional support.

Conclusions
The use of websites for risk factor management has the potential to improve physical activity levels, quality of life, and self-efficacy as well as reduce processed meat consumption for adults living with chronic health conditions when compared with usual care. However, it remains unclear whether using websites leads to meaningful and long-lasting behavior change.

Genetic Evidence Strongly Supports Managing Weight and Blood Pressure in Addition to Glycemic Control in Preventing Vascular Complications in People With Type 2 Diabetes
Authors: Ahmed Altayeb , Amin Hasnat , Drenos Fotios , Sattar Naveed , Yaghootkar Hanieh 
Published: August 2023

OBJECTIVE
To investigate the causal association of type 2 diabetes and its components with risk of vascular complications independent of shared risk factors obesity and hypertension and to identify the main driver of this risk.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) using independent genetic variants previously associated with type 2 diabetes, fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, BMI, and systolic blood pressure as instrumental variables. We obtained summary-level data for 18 vascular diseases (15 for type 2 diabetes) from FinnGen and publicly available genome-wide association studies as our outcomes. We conducted univariable and multivariable MR, in addition to sensitivity tests to detect and minimize pleiotropic effects.

RESULTS
Univariable MR analysis showed that type 2 diabetes was associated with 9 of 15 outcomes; BMI and systolic blood pressure were associated with 13 and 15 of 18 vascular outcomes, respectively; and fasting insulin was associated with 4 and fasting glucose with 2. No robust association was found for HbA1c instruments. With adjustment for correlated traits in the multivariable test, BMI and systolic blood pressure, consistent causal effects were maintained, while five associations with type 2 diabetes (chronic kidney disease, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intracerebral hemorrhage) were attenuated to null.

CONCLUSIONS
Our findings add strong evidence to support the importance of BMI and systolic blood pressure in the development of vascular complications in people with type 2 diabetes. Such findings strongly support the need for better weight and blood pressure management in type 2 diabetes, independent of glucose lowering, to limit important complications.
The Armed Conflict in Ukraine: Use of Force, Prosecution, and Complicity
Authors: Nursabrina Mizalfia 
Published: August 2023

In the early hours of Thursday, 24 February 2022, President Vladimir Putin addressed the Russian people and declared to the world that Russia has decided to commence a “special military operation” against Ukraine. Shortly afterwards, the Russian military entered Ukrainian territory from many parts of the country. The conflict has resulted in heavy casualties, especially within the Ukrainians. The international community has condemned the invasion, stating that it violates Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, and it’s contrary to the principles embodied in the Charter of the United Nations (UN Charter). The North Atlantic Council has also identified the attack as “a grave violation of international law, including the UN Charter.
In the wake of protests sounded by the international community, Russia has continued to oppose such arguments. As a preliminary analysis, it is evident that Russia’s actions against Ukraine consist of elements of force. Rather than denying the allegations, Russia has justified its use of force by referring to principles of international law. This paper examines a brief background of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, Russia’s and Ukraine’s justifications in the war, the possible prosecution of high-ranking Russian officials in potential fora’s, and also Belarus’ involvement in the conflict. While this paper finds that Russia’s justifications for their invasion are unlawful and invokes their responsibility, there are obstacles in prosecuting the crimes. It also considers that Belarus is responsible for their involvement.

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) belongs to multipurpose crops. All parts of sorghum can be used both as main products and derivative products; some derivative products produced from the sorghum plant consist of sugar, bioethanol, biomass, handicraft raw materials and starch. This study aims to determine the time required for testing the vigor and viability of sorghum seeds using the electrical conductivity and radicle emergence methods. The study was conducted in two experimental stages using a completely randomized design. The first experiment consisted of two factors: the number of sorghum seeds (40, 70 and 100 grains) and the volume of soaking water (75, 100, 125, and 150 ml). The second experiment consisted of two factors: research method (germination/control method, electrical conduction method, and radicle emergence method) and varieties (consisted of Numbu, Kawali, Suri 3, and Suri 4). The first experiment's results showed that the best electrical conductivity method on Suri 4 varieties were 40 seeds and 150 ml water volume. The electrical conductivity value is negatively correlated with Germination capacity, vigor index, growth of speed, maximum growth potential, and sprout growth rate. Time needed for Electrical Conductivity method in this study was three days. The germination period of 96 hours gives the best results on the radicle emergence of sorghum seed varieties. Vigor index, growth of speed, germination capacity, and maximum growth potential are positively correlated with the value of radicula emergence.Keywords: Electrical Conductivity, Radicle emergence, Vigor, Viability, Germination

Published: August 2023

Patchouli plants produce essential oils and are used as a raw material and fixative agent for perfumes. The most widely cultivated patchouli plant in Indonesia is Aceh patchouli. Sexual propagation in Aceh patchouli plants is impossible as it does not flower. Genetic diversity can be elevated through another method, such as polyploidy induction using colchicine. This research aimed to evaluate the state-of-the-art application of polyploidization techniques as a breeding tool for callus-based explants. A completely randomized design with a factorial pattern was used in this experiment consisting of two factors, patchouli cultivars (Sidikalang, Tapak Tuan, and Lhokseumawe) and colchicine concentration (0.0%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 0.7%, and 1%). The result showed an interaction between three patchouli cultivars with colchicine concentration on callus size and color characters. In Sidikalang cultivar, 0.2% colchicine concentration affects the character of callus emergence time and has more buds. In cultivar Tapak Tuan, the application of colchicine 0.2% affects the callus size character and has the highest number of buds. In the Lhokseumawe cultivar, giving 0.5% colchicine affects the character of callus appearance time, callus size, and callus color. Concentrations of 0.2% and 1.0% colchicine in Sidikalang and Tapak Tuan calluses increased the number of chromosomes, ranging from 2n (32), 3n (48), and 4n (64). The implication of the research could be disclosure of an opportunity to create a new superior variety.

This research purposes to analyze Irish cultural identity conflict in Brian Friel’s Translation, namely by analyzing why it happens and how it impacts to Irish. The method applied to analyze is descriptive qualitative method by doing content analysis through data collecting technique in the form of library research. From the data source of Brian Friel’s Translation, the researcher does the technique of interpretation by using Homi K. Bhabha’s postcolonialism theory of mimicry concept to identify the conflict of Irish cultural identity found in the literary work. The result of the research shows that the setting in Brian Friel’s Translation is Northern Ireland in the 19th century. Irish people are surrendered to be the British colony. British people colonize Irish in various ways; destroying Irish rights by forcing them to work very hard on potato plantation in the area where they live to fulfill British people food, forbidding Irish to use their own language or do their Catholic religious worship, executing Ordnance survey namely by replacing names of local places in Northern Ireland for the importance of imperialism forcibly. That colonialism causes suffering, starving and poverty. Through the dialogues, it reflects that British people want to abolish Irish language and culture to replace it to British language and culture which is considered more modern.

Greeting is widely used in establishing social interactions. However, due to cultural backgrounds, history, and geographical location differences, greetings are very different. This paper aims to examine differences between Acehnese and Turkish greetings reflected from the form, type, and function.Â Forty people involved in this study. Half of them are the fluent Acehnese speakers who live in Banda Aceh, Greater Aceh, and Sabang. The other half is Turkish people who live in the Turkic-speaking community in Aceh. The data were collected from direct observation and survey. The data were analyzed based on five steps, namely determining, classifying, analyzing, describing, and drawing the conclusion.Â The results showed that while both countries use verbal/non-verbal greetings and formal /non-formal greetings, Acehnese greetings are limited. Furthermore, Acehnese used seasonal greetings only for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha whereas Turkish used it in various ways and divided into two categories: time-bound greetings and time-free greetings.
