Background Endoscopic surveillance of Barrett’s esophagus (BE) with Seattle protocol biopsies is time-consuming and inadequately performed in routine practice. There is no recommended procedural time for BE surveillance. We investigated the duration of surveillance procedures with adequate tissue sampling and effect on dysplasia detection rate (DDR).
Methods We performed post hoc analysis from the standard arm of a crossover randomized controlled trial recruiting patients with BE (≥C2 and/or ≥M3) and no clearly visible dysplastic lesions. After inspection with white-light imaging, targeted biopsies of subtle lesions and Seattle protocol biopsies were performed. Procedure duration and biopsy number were stratified by BE length. The effect of endoscopy-related variables on DDR was assessed by multivariable logistic regression.
Results Of 142 patients recruited, 15 (10.6 %) had high grade dysplasia/intramucosal cancer and 15 (10.6 %) had low grade dysplasia. The median procedural time was 16.5 minutes (interquartile range 14.0–19.0). Endoscopy duration increased by 0.9 minutes for each additional 1 cm of BE length. Seattle protocol biopsies had higher sensitivity for dysplasia than targeted biopsies (86.7 % vs. 60.0 %; P = 0.045). Longer procedural time was associated with increased likelihood of dysplasia detection on quadrantic biopsies (odds ratio [OR] 1.10, 95 %CI 1.00–1.20, P = 0.04), and for patients with BE > 6 cm also on targeted biopsies (OR 1.21, 95 %CI 1.04–1.40; P = 0.01).
Conclusions In BE patients with no clearly visible dysplastic lesions, longer procedural time was associated with increased likelihood of dysplasia detection. Adequate time slots are required to perform good-quality surveillance and maximize dysplasia detection.

AbstractComputed tomography (CT) scan–based three-dimensional (3D) modeling operative technology has been shown to improve upon results of manual total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). Although there are many reports on superior precision of this CT-based technology, there has been continuing interest regarding extended clinical outcomes. The purpose of this study was to compare their clinical outcomes with manual TKAs at approximately 3-year follow-up. Specifically, we analyzed: (1) survivorship, (2) functional outcomes, (3) complications, and (4) radiographic outcomes (i.e., alignment, progressive radiolucencies). A total of 210 patients receiving CT-based TKAs performed by a single surgeon at a single center between July 1, 2016, and February 16, 2018, were compared with 210 manual TKAs completed by the same surgeon immediately preceding implementation of the CT-based technology. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) surveys were collected at ∼3 years postoperatively. Subgroup analyses of pain and physical function scores were performed. Follow-up radiographs were evaluated for alignment, loosening, and/or progressive radiolucencies. There was 100% survivorship at final follow-up. The postoperative mean pain scores for the CT-based cohort and manual cohort were 1 ± 2 (range, 0–14) and 2 ± 3 (range, 0–17), respectively (p < 0.05). The postoperative mean physical function scores for the CT-based cohort and manual cohort were 3 ± 4 (range, 0–18) and 5 ± 5 (range, 0–19), respectively (p < 0.05). The postoperative mean total WOMAC scores for the CT-based cohort and manual cohort were 5 ± 4 (range, 0–32) and 7 ± 8 (range, 0–35), respectively (p < 0.05). There were low numbers of postoperative complications at final follow-up in either cohort. None exhibited progressive radiolucencies by final follow-up. The 3-year postoperative clinical outcomes support excellent survivorship and radiographic outcomes, low complication rates, as well as improved pain, physical function, and total WOMAC scores for CT-based TKAs. Therefore, patients who undergo CT-based 3D modeling TKAs should expect to have superior long-term clinical outcomes.

AbstractOver 25% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are expected to undergo a joint replacement during their lifetime. Current practice guidelines recommend withholding biologic therapy 1 week prior to total hip arthroplasty, given its immunosuppressive effects. Most patients are on a regimen including biologic and nonbiologic therapy; however, the individual influences of these therapies are not well understood in the setting of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Therefore, we sought to compare biologic, nonbiologic, and recipients of both types of therapy in patients with RA undergoing TKA. We specifically assessed (1) medical complications at 90 days; (2) surgical complications up to 1 year; and (3) independent risk factors for prosthetic joint infections (PJIs).A retrospective review was conducted using a national, all-payer database for patients undergoing primary TKA from January 2010 to April 2020 (n = 1.97 million). Patients diagnosed with RA were then separated into at least 1-year users of biologic (n = 3,092), nonbiologic (28,299), or dual (n = 10,949) therapy. Bivariate analyses were utilized to assess for 90-day medical and up to 1-year surgical outcomes. Additionally, multivariate regression models were utilized to assess for independent risk factors.The incidence and odds ratio for medical/surgical outcomes were equivocal among the biologic, nonbiologic, and recipients receiving both types of therapy (p > 0.061). No differences were observed between the type of therapy as additional risk factors for infection (p > 0.505). However, glucocorticoids at 90 days and alcohol abuse, diabetes mellitus, obesity, as well as tobacco use were identified as additional risk factors for PJI(p < 0.036).No appreciable differences in medical or surgical outcomes were associated with the independent use of biologic, nonbiologic, or recipients of both types of therapy in patients with RA. Additionally, alcohol abuse, diabetes mellitus, glucocorticoids, obesity, and tobacco use conferred an increased risk of PJI. These results can serve as an adjunct to current practice guidelines.
The rise of middle voice systems
Authors: Inglese Guglielmo 
Published: January 2023

AbstractMiddle markers are characterized by a distribution halfway between grammar and the lexicon: with some verbs, middle marking encodes valency change, while with others it obligatorily occurs with no obvious synchronic motivation. Despite the existing cross-linguistic work on middle markers, their history is still largely unknown. In the typological literature, the standard view is that middle markers predominantly have their origin in reflexive markers, and that, in their development, it is invariantly the grammatical component that expands to the lexical component. In this paper, I challenge these assumptions based on the analysis of a sample of 129 middle marking languages. As I show, the sources and pathways whereby middle markers come about are much more numerous and varied than what has been reported in the literature. By taking a source-oriented approach, I also discuss how recurrent cross-linguistic trends in the distribution of middle markers can in part be explained by looking at their history.
Improving the spectroscopic knowledge of neutral Neodymium

Abstract
Laser cooling and trapping of lanthanides has opened the possibility to carry out new experiments with ultracold dipolar gases, for example for quantum simulation of solid state physics. To identify new suitable candidates for laser-cooling, it is important to have a precise spectroscopic knowledge of the atom under consideration. Along this direction, we present here a detailed modeling of the energy levels of neutral neodymium (Nd), an element belonging to the left part of the lanthanide row, which has not yet been considered for laser-cooling. Using the semi-empirical method implemented in the Cowan suite of codes, we are in particular able to interpret more than 200 experimental levels of the NIST database belonging to both parities. The optimal set of atomic parameters obtained after the least-square fitting step can serve to calculate radiative transition probabilities in the future.

Abstract
In the present study, Zn1−x Gdx O (x = 0.02) nanoparticles have been synthesized by chemical route (Sol-Gel Method) using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as chelating agent. These materials are annealed from 500 °C−1000 °C with a step size of 100 °C temperature. The multifunctional properties of the prepared materials have been studied in view of their structural, morphological, optical, magnetic, and mechanical characteristics. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies have shown that ZnO (zinc oxide) nano powders are crystallized in the Wurtzite hexagonal structure, and the structural parameters have been determined. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) study conducted on a sample annealed at 900 °C revealed nanoparticles size as ∼22 nm. Spherical nanoparticles with irregular particle morphology was observed from SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) images. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) accorded the existence of elementary components of the prepared samples. The characteristic peaks of ZnO are evident from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) study. The bandgap energies from UV–visible studies levied to decrease from 3.31 eV to 3.13 eV with annealing temperatures. Near band edge emission exhibited redshift from Photoluminescence (PL) study with the increase in annealing temperature. The Dilute Magnetic Semiconductor (DMS) nature was observed on the studied materials, making them promising materials for multifunctional spin-based applications. The study of Mechanical properties suggests that these materials may find applications as cutting fluids, nanofillers and nanolubricant additives.

Abstract
Under the large detuning conditions, a three-level atom in Λ-type configuration reduced to an effective two-level system has been investigated by Shahriar and Hemmer (1990 Phys. Rev. Lett.
65 1865). By introducing unbalanced gain and loss, we in detail investigate the behaviors of entropic uncertainty relation (EUR) in an effective two-level non-Hermitian system. Compared with the dynamics governed by a Hermitian Hamiltonian, we find the EUR in non-Hermitian system is well defined based on the exceptional points of the effective non-Hermitian system, and displays two distinct behaviors. More specifically, when systems possess an exceptional point above which the EUR undergoes an oscillatory behavior, while below which the EUR increases asymptotically to a finite constant value.

Failure Mode Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using GFRP Sheet as Shear Strengthening
Authors: Yusuf A A A , Irmawaty R , Muhiddin A B 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Corrosion is an electrochemical reaction that can cause deterioration to the reinforcing steel which has implications for the decrease in the flexural capacity of the beam. The use of corrosion resistant GFRP bar as a substitute for conventional reinforcement and GFRP sheets as a substitute for shear reinforcement without a concrete cover can increase the flexural capacity of RC beams. This study aims to analyze the flexural capacity and failure mode of reinforced concrete beams with GFRP bar and GFRP sheet, with variations in width of 50 mm (BFGS50) and 100 mm (BFGS100). Conventional RC beams (BK) and beams with GFRP bars as tensile reinforcement and conventional shear reinforcement (BFSB) were made as control beams. The beam is given a static-monotonic load until failure. The results showed that the flexural capacity of the BFGS50 and BFGS100 beams was higher than the control beam (BK and BFSB). From the failure mode analysis, the control beam experienced compression failure, while BFGS50 and BFGS100 experienced shear failure.

Abstract
The Nipa-Nipa Regulation Ponds are a flood control building for Makassar City and its surroundings due to the overflow of Tallo River downstream with an operating system to accommodate air. Regulation pond is only able to accommodate part of the peak flood discharge which caused Tallo River to overflow. For this reason, an analysis is carried out on how the influence of the Nipa – Nipa Regulation Pond on flood control of the downstream Tallo River is carried out. The analytical method used is a hydraulic analysis with the help of the HEC-RAS application. Based on the results of the 2D HEC – RAS numerical simulation mapped for the downstream area of Nipa - Nipa Regulation Pond, it is obtained that regulation can reduce surface runoff due to the overflow of the Lower Tallo River for Q2 by 183.97 Ha (35.59 %), Q5 271 .85 Ha (37.19 %), Q10 was 249.35 Ha (28.50 %), Q20 was 291.63 Ha (28.18 %), and Q25 was 300.67 Ha (28.08%). From these results, it can also be seen that the current condition of the Nipa – Nipa Regulation Pond is the most effective way to deal with flooding downstream of Tallo River at the five-year return period (Q5).

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Access to regions that cannot be accessed owing to natural damage and contours that are too extreme present challenges in mapping areas prone to landslides, requiring the use of drones to retrieve data from disaster areas. The goal of this research is to (1) use arcgis to reference landslide-prone locations, (2) analyze the safe level value of landslide-prone areas using slide applications, and (3) use drone photogrammetry to model landslide-prone areas in 3D. At locations 119°40′3.36"E - 119°40′30.58"E and 5°19′32.53"S - 5°20′3.69"S, photogrammetry was employed by taking ortho photographs with mavic 2 pro type drones and secondary data of the soil layer provided by penetration test. The area of S01 with FoS 0.470 on the slope of slope 51°, the area S02 with FoS 0,527 on the slope of slope 47°, the area S03 with FoS 0.379 on the slope of slope 52°, the area S04 with FoS 0.551 on slope 46°, and the area S05 with FoS 0.763 on slope 32° are all known from the referencing map of arcgis-based landslide prone areas. The concluded that of soil in the research area is generally sandy clay soil, and the position of rainwater flow, which can be a trigger factor for landslides, so this data becomes preliminary data in early anticipation of potential landslide disasters and enhances alertness to prospective landslide disasters.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Post-disaster recovery of marine ecosystems and species is still poorly understood. The Banggai cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni) is an ornamental fish endemic to the Banggai Archipelago and a few nearby islands. Classified as Endangered in the IUCN Red List, this fish has limited protected status under Indonesian law. Introduced to several sites in Palu Bay in the early 2000’s, two populations had become established by 2006. Until the triple disaster (earthquake, tsunami, liquefaction) in September 2018, these populations were used for research and education as well as the aquarium trade. The tsunami devastated habitat and microhabitat at the Mamboro site; a census in 2019 found 10 surviving juvenile Banggai cardinalfish in one sea anemone. Monitoring in June 2021 revealed signs of ecosystem recovery, especially seagrass. Despite limited microhabitat with few corals and a lack of Diadema sea urchins, there was a substantial increase in Banggai cardinalfish abundance with all life stages present. New recruits were observed in sea anemones and upside-down jellyfish (Cassiopea sp.). These sites present a natural laboratory for P. kauderni population and post-tsunami ecosystem recovery. Lessons learned can be used to inform conservation management of depleted P. kauderni populations in the endemic range of this endangered fish.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Yogyakarta coastal areas in Indonesia are marine resources that affect the socioeconomics such as local trade, international trade, marine catches, and tourist attractions. The existence of activities in the marine sector creates the potential for shoreline change. The detection of coastline change, such as abrasion and/or sedimentation, using remote sensing is considered as a very effective method because the shoreline is found as highly dynamic nature. This study analyses shoreline changes in Yogyakarta coastal areas from 2010 to 2019 using satellite imageries obtained from Google Earth Pro platform and the processing data using AutoCAD software. The average coastline changes occur 2.90 m of abrasion per year at Parangtritis Beach and 1.98 m of sedimentation per year at Krokoh Beach. The effort to prevent shoreline changes at Parangtritis shore areas is by constructing coastal protection structures. Further research is needed to determine soft and/or hard coastal protection structures.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Cold Asphalt Emulsion Mixture (CAEM) is considered as an eco-friendly asphalt mixture because it eliminates the emission. It is produced at ambient temperatures and reducing the requirement to heat aggregates and bitumen prior to mixing process, so it is good for energy saving in pavement construction. In application, there are two type gradations of aggregate for cold asphalt mixture, dense gradation and open gradation. A series of laboratory works were conducted to analyse the performance of dense and open graded cold mixture for surface courses, which is the main objective of this study. Marshall Samples were kept indoor at room temperature for 7 days prior to Marshall Test to obtain the effect of curing process for cold mixtures. All samples were tested using Marshall Tests for stability and flow. The results show that dense graded mixtures need less bitumen content than open graded mixtures. For cured samples, dense graded mixtures produces higher Marshall Stability than open grades mixtures, while uncured samples have almost the same Marshall stability value for both gradations. For open graded mixtures, curing process reduce the porosity of mixtures.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
The beach reclamation project is carried out through a sand mining process in the middle of the sea. This is claimed to cause vulnerability to environmental damage in the form of coastal abrasion, thus giving rise to a resistance movement from the surrounding community. This qualitative study aims to obtain information about the forms and strategies of the resistance movement of the Takalar coastal community against the sea sand mines of the Center Point Of Indonesia reclamation project. This research involves the Takalar coastal community and movement actors who are members of the Galesong Raya coastal community forum and the South Sulawesi environmental vehicle. Data were collected through interviews and documentation using the method of snowball sampling. The collected data is then processed using reduction, presented then drawn conclusions. The results, the forms of the resistance movement is open resistance by making rejection petitions, demonstrations to government offices and people’s representatives, and conducting raids on sand mining vessels that are currently operating sand mining in the middle of the sea. Furthermore, the strategy used is advocacy. As a result, the Takalar coastal community movement succeeded in stopping the sea sand mining of the Center Point Of Indonesia reclamation project.

Abstract
Flood disaster is one of the natural disasters caused by the high intensity of rainfalls which causes rapid rise in stream or river. This is mostly the case in tropical area, such as Indonesia. Konawe Utara regency is one of the regencies in Southeast Sulawesi that recently experienced flash floods in 2019. As a result, the flood caused significant environmental and economic losses and damaged several public infrastructures. This study uses SAR Sentinel 1 imagery to rapid map of the flood event. The method used in this study is the Normalized Difference Sigma-Naught Index (NDSI). This method can identify the comparison of the Backscatter value from the image before and during the flood. Then, extracting the flood information using vectorization tools and calculating geometry features were conducted in the open-source QGIS software. The results of this study show that the flood occurred in some important areas of North Konawe Regency and inundated six (6) districts namely Wiwirano district, Oheo district, Molawe district, Langgikima district, Asera district, Andowia district. Among those areas, Oheo district is the most affected area of flooding with 1836.88 hectares (4,1 % total area of Oheo district). This area included 186.24 hectares of settlement area and bussiness, 664.39 hectares of agriculture area. The rest area of inundation consisted of forests, shrubs and bare lands. More importantly, the flood also inundated the capital city of North Konawe regency located in Asera district with affected area of 25.76 hectares. This flood has paralyzed economic activities and local government administration. The result of this study shows the potential Sentinel 1 SAR in assisting rapid assessment during disaster period and will help local government in considering mitigation approaches.
