Published: May 2023

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the behavior of RC concrete beams reinforced with basalt, carbon, glass fiber reinforced polymer bars and conventional steel. A comparison between the results has been performed to investigate and study the effect of fire on reinforced concrete beams considering the following items: (flexural capacity, deflection behavior and crack pattern). It is noticeable that the use of FRP bars significantly increased the ultimate load of the specimens, where the percentage of increase ranged between 34 - 73 % of the ultimate load of the specimen C-S under static load. The greatest ultimate load was reached the beam that was reinforced with carbon bars (CFRP). It was also noticed able that the use of FRP rods significantly increases the deflection of the beams. The percentage of increase was between 45 - 170 % of the final deflection of the C-S specimen under static load. It was noted that the effect of the fire on the beams reinforced with fiber bars (FRP), where the efficiency of bearing capacity of beams after fire decreases by 11 to 18 % of the actual efficiency of bearing capacity of beams control. As for the beam reinforced with conventional steel bars, its efficiency was reduced by 15 % from the actual capacity.

ABSTRACT
Edible flowers are rich in bioactive compounds and pigments that are on increasing demand in nutraceutical, medicinal, food, cosmetic and dyeing industries. This study evaluated the anthocyanins, phenolics and antioxidant activity of eight edible flowers (Bellis perennis L., Centaurea cyanus L., Dianthus
carthusianorum L., Lavandula angustifolia Mill., Primula vulgaris Huds., Rosa canina L., Rosa pendulina L. and Viola odorata L.) after 24 h of hot drying (50 °C; natural convection stove) or cold drying (CD) (22 °C; heat-pump drying system). The hot-dried and cold-dried materials were then used to prepare ultrasound-assisted extracts, which are used as food additives or as a source of natural colourants, or decoctions (DECs), which are used for herbal teas. The edible flower UAEs and DECs had high amounts of anthocyanins (up to 3,284.6 mg C3G · 100 g-1), phenolics (up to 9,034 mg · 100 g-1) and antioxidant activity (866 μmol TE · g-1, 4,901 mmol Fe2+ · kg-1), with roses having the highest amount. The anthocyanin content and phenolic profile (flavonols, benzoic acids, cinnamic acids and flavanols) of edible flowers are found to be affected by drying and extraction methods. For decoctions, CD was found to be the most efficient drying method for all the parameters. For UAEs, CD resulted in a higher anthocyanin content, while hot drying resulted in a higher phenolic content, particularly flavanols. Overall, the studied edible flower extracts and decoctions can contribute to healthy and coloured substances, which can be used for designing innovative natural products. Rosa pendulina and R. canina are the most promising sources.

Agronomic performance of garlic is speculated strongly affected by genotype ´ environment interaction, however, interaction evaluation is rarely studied in Indonesia. This research aimed to study the agronomic response of four garlic varieties in two different locations. The research was conducted from April to December 2021 using Lumbu Putih, Lumbu Hijau, Lumbu Kuning, and Tawangmangu Baru genotypes grown in two locations, i.e., Lembang (1250 m asl) and Ciwidey (1200 m asl), Bandung, West Java using randomized complete block design with three replications. Results showed that genotypes ´ locations interaction was found for traits: plant height, pseudo-stem stem diameter, number of stomata, weight, and diameter of fresh and dried bulbs. Chlorophyll content (SPAD value) depends on genotype, height of fresh bulbs and percentage of weight loss depending on location, while number of leaves was independently affected by genotype and location. Lumbu Kuning produced the highest average fresh weight with considerable differences in both locations (Lembang: 52.01 g, Ciwidey: 31.87 g) and also had the highest weight of dry bulb when planted in Lembang (24.65 g). Pearson's correlation showed that the strongest positive correlation (r=0.91) was found between the weight of the fresh bulb and pseudo-stem diameter when garlic genotypes were planted in Ciwidey. The present study implies the importance to select suitable genotypes for a particular location.

AbstrakPembentukan undang-undang Ibu Kota Negara yang hanya dibahas dalam waktu 42 hari, melahirkan pertanyaan mendasar tentang pemenuhan partisipasi masyarakat dalam pengertian yang sungguh-sungguh atau bermakna. Penelitian ini secara khusus hendak menelitian pemenuhan partisipasi masyarakat dalam pembentukan undang-undang Ibu Kota Negara dengan menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif. Dari hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa pembentukan Undang-Undang Ibu Kota Negara tidak memenuhi aspek partisipasi masyarakat yang bermakna atau sungguh-sungguh, karena partisipasi hanya dilakukan secara formalitas, yakni sebatas memenuhi hak untuk didengar dan mengenyampingkan hak untuk dipertimbangkan dan hak untuk diberi penjelasan.Kata Kunci: Pembentukan, Undang-Undang, Partisipasi Yang Bermakna, Ibu Kota Negara AbstractThe formation of the National Capital Law, which was only discussed within 42 days, raises fundamental questions about the fulfillment of public participation in a real or meaningful sense. This research specifically aims to examine the fulfillment of public participation in the formation of the National Capital Law by using normative juridical research methods. From the results of the research, it is found that the formation of the National Capital City Law does not fulfill the aspects of meaningful or serious public participation, because participation is only carried out in a formality, which is limited to fulfilling the right to be heard and excluding the right to be considered and the right to be given an explanation.Keywords: Formation, Law, Meaningful Participation, National Capital City

Background: Cisplatin (CP) is an anticancer agent with various side effects, including duodenal mucosal damage. It is well known that black seed oil (BSO) and honey (H) are rich in antioxidants and have a mucosal protective effect. Purposes: To determine the protective effect of the BSO and H combination on the histopathology of duodenal rats given CP exposure. Methods: Randomized post-test-only control group design was used in this study. A total of 30 rats were divided into ten groups, namely the control group (K), treatment groups (P1-P8), and cisplatin group (C). The treatment groups were given BSO and H orally for 21 days, and CP was given intraperitoneally on day 18 to the treatment and cisplatin groups. On day 22, the duodenal tissue was taken for preparation and histopathological assessment. Data analysis using IBM SPSS v.24 and Compusyn program. Result: There were significant differences in the duodenal mucosa damage scores of the P1-P8 group compared to the C group (p<0.05). The combination index of P7 exerted a synergism effect (CI < 1). Conclusion: The combination of BSO and H exerted a protective effect on the histopathological of rats’ duodenal tissue induced with CP, and the combination of BSO 2 mL/KgBW and H 3.7 mL/KgBW exerted a synergism effect.
Plato: The Philosopher as Prenate
Authors:   JOSEPH CAMPBELL FOUNDATION, USA, Bonaduce John 
Published: May 2023

Two formerly unrelated academic fields, prenatal science and mythological studies, are quietly merging under the heading of a new theory: mythobiogenesis. One need not be a philologist to tease out the meaning of the word: Myth has a biological genesis. According to this conceptual model, much of what we call mythology, fairy tales, and sacred scripture derives from a fundamental impulse to retell in culturally specific ways the universal intrauterine experience of life before birth.	Plato himself has provided an example of such a narrative. His written record of his intrauterine experience is contained in one of his later dialogues, the Critias (1), a text which includes the famous story of Atlantis. The Atlantis myth, I shall argue, is pure embryology, recounting in symbolic language Plato’s development from ovulation through fertilization, implantation, differentiation, organogenesis, and gestation.	The idea that consciousness could be present at the level of a single cell is a stumbling block to the western science tradition which typically describes consciousness as no more than an emergent property of matter.	And yet, many eastern spiritual traditions take non-local consciousness (a state of awareness independent of the body) for granted. The Yoga-Sūtra of Patañjali (2), a fourth century Sanskrit text, describes pure awareness as independent from the fundamental qualities of nature. Similarly, the Bardo Thodol (or Tibetan Book of the Dead) (3) follows the path of human psyche as it survives physical death reemerging with a new social identity attached to a reincarnated human being.	East and West are not easily reconciled but there is movement in this direction. Some one hundred years ago, Otto Rank (4) faced outright hostility (particularly from his mentor, Freud) for suggesting that consciousness is very much present at birth with lifelong consequences arising from that primal trauma. Psychiatrists and psychologists who regress patients to birth and pre-birth times often report experiences that appear to go back even as far as conception lending credibility to S. Cosier’s theoretical model in which consciousness resides in the cell nucleus (5). And researchers such as Jon RG and Troya GN Turner-Groot (6) direct us to look for prebirth memories arising before conception when an individual’s consciousness is energetically attracted to that of the Mother-to-be.	With this in mind, consider: Atlantis may not be a place at all, so best to stop looking for it. Instead, look to Plato who, though unaware of the theory of mythobiogenesis, is profoundly under its influence.

Realizar estudios de tejidos biológicos como el del cérvix con técnicas alternativas permiten dirigirse a un soporte al diagnóstico médico del cáncer de cuello uterino (CCU), el cuarto más común a nivel mundial y la primera causa de muerte en mujeres de 30-59 años en Colombia. En el tejido del cuello uterino se encuentran presentes diferentes fluoróforos como: NADH, flavina, elastina y colágeno; moléculas que generan fluorescencia gracias a su capacidad para absorber energía electromagnética, esto les permite emitir fotones de menor energía a una longitud de onda determinada. En las etapas iniciales de la displasia, las células cambian sus velocidades metabólicas, características físicas y estructurales; con esto se altera la respuesta espectral de las moléculas presentes en el tejido cervical. En la investigación se realizó el análisis de los espectros de fluorescencia utilizando luz LED ultravioleta en el rango de 335 a 340 nm cómo fuente de radiación electromagnética y se verificó que al interactuar en el tejido biológico de las biopsias del cuello uterino proporcionadas por el instituto caldense de patología de la ciudad de Manizales-Colombia, se generan espectros con respuestas activas en los rangos de las longitudes de onda de los fluoróforos evidenciando la interacción y excitación de los mismos. Dichos espectros son similares a los obtenidos con la espectroscopia óptica de fluorescencia tradicional aplicada con fuente de luz láser. Lo anterior permite concluir que utilizar la tecnología LED de más bajo costo que los láseres utilizados convencionalmente es viable para continuar con el procesamiento de los espectros del tejido del cuello uterino y generar una clasificación según su patología.

Las aplicaciones (Apps) web o móviles han cobrado progresiva importancia como método de enseñanza-aprendizaje en educación médica, desde la masificación del internet y los teléfonos inteligentes. El objetivo de esta revisión es describir tres Apps, referenciadas en artículos científicos, que pueden utilizarse para estimar a priori la dosis de radiación y/o el riesgo de cáncer en estudios médico-dentales. Para tanto, se hizo una búsqueda bibliográfica en PubMed y Scielo, usando como palabras clave en español e inglés: radiación, dosis, efectos biológicos, educación médica, App, odontología, medicina. Se seleccionaron 60 artículos por ser de interés para la temática propuesta, con al el 50% de ellos, publicados en 2017 – 2022. Los resultados muestran que el uso de Apps en entornos educativos de la salud mejora los conocimientos de estudiantes y ayuda a los profesionales como herramientas de consulta rápida. De las 3 Apps revisadas (Passport Radiation, CALDose_X y Dental_Dose), la primera es la más antigua y actualmente indisponible. Todas ofrecen datos, en distintos órganos y tipos de exámenes, de dosis equivalente humanos, dosis efectiva y, a excepción de Dental_Dose, una estimación del riesgo de cáncer. CALDose_X es la única que puede configurarse en dos idiomas (inglés y portugués). Asimismo, ambas Apps muestran visualizaciones de las estructuras orgánicas y del campo de radiación. A diferencia de Dental_Dose, debe ser instalada CALDose_X. CALDose_X y Dental_Dose han sido referenciada por al menos 3 trabajos científicos, demostrando, con ello, aceptación en la comunidad académica. Dental_Dose está dedicada al área odontológica, mientras CALDose_X al ámbito médico.

Water is critical for long-term socioeconomic growth. Rainfall is one of the water sources.. Many factors contribute to disparities of rainfall patterns in Indonesia. The study aims to detect and map the implication of clustering annual rainfall patterns in each province in Indonesia using the annual provincial rainfall data 2011 to 2015. K Means Clustering using an unsupervised learning technique was applied for rainfall events by employing rainfall measurement data from one of Indonesia's rain stations in each province. The clustering results indicate that the two provinces in cluster I have very low water availability, cluster II has moderate rainfall with rainy days under 200 days, i.e. wet months of seven months, and cluster III has a very wide variation in maximum and minimal rainfall. The results demonstrate the trend of locations vulnerable to water availability in the provinces of Central and West Sulawesi. Rainfall should be managed as a potential water source in face of the extreme dry season, particularly in three provinces in cluster III: South Sumatra, Papua, and Maluku. Rainfall clustering in Indonesia is expected to be used as a dataframe, as well as a preliminary analysis to reinforce local rainfall, as well as basis for managing and exploiting rainfall, as well as planning mitigation and adaptation to climate change in Indonesia.

Published: May 2023

Objectives:
This study aimed to analyze and compare the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and skeletal changes three dimensionally in growing patients with Class II malocclusion treated with the Twin block (TB) and Advansync appliance.

Material and Methods:
This prospective study included 20 patients with Class II Division 1 malocclusion of which ten patients comprised the TB group and ten patients the Advansync group. Cone-beam computed tomographs were taken before treatment, and at the end of the functional phase (6–8 months). The condyle, glenoid fossa, and skeletal changes were assessed in all the three planes and the measurements were made using CARESTREAM software.

Results:
The TB group demonstrated a significant increase in the condylar dimensions, superior joint space, mandibular length (P = 0.005), and decrease in anterior joint space (P = 0.001) in response to treatment and the Advansync group showed a significant increase in the condylar dimensions, mandibular length, and a significant restriction in the maxillary length. Comparison between the two groups showed a significant increase in the fossa depth in the TB group and restriction in the maxillary growth in the Advansync group.

Conclusion:
TB and Advansync group showed TMJ and skeletal changes. However, the Advansync showed more headgear effect but less glenoid fossa changes compared to the TB group.

Published: May 2023

Background:
Middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization has recently emerged as a potential treatment for chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH). Numerous retrospective studies have suggested that it can potentially reduce the risk of hematoma recurrence following surgical evacuation. We have conducted a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effectiveness of postoperative MMA embolization in reducing recurrence rate, residual hematoma thickness as well as improving functional outcome.

Methods:
Patients aged 18 or above were recruited. Following evacuation through burr hole or craniotomy, patients were randomly allocated to undergo either MMA embolization or standard care (monitoring). The primary outcome was symptomatic recurrence requiring redo evacuation. Secondary outcomes include residual hematoma thickness and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 6 weeks and 3 months.

Results:
Thirty-six patients (41 cSDHs) were recruited between April 2021 and September 2022. Seventeen patients (19 cSDHs) were allocated to the embolization group and 19 patients (22 cSDHs) were in the control group. No symptomatic recurrence was observed in the treatment group while 3 control patients (15.8%) underwent repeat surgery for symptomatic recurrence, however, it was not statistically significant (P = 0.234). Furthermore, there was no significant difference in residual hematoma thickness at 6 weeks or 3 months between the two groups. All patients in the embolization group had a good functional outcome (mRS 0–1) at 3 months, which was significantly higher than the 53% observed in the control group. No complications related to MMA embolization were reported.

Conclusion:
Further study with larger sample size is required to evaluate the efficacy of MMA embolization.
Glioblastoma in pregnant patient with pathologic and exogenous sex hormone exposure and family history of high-grade glioma: A case report and review of the literature
Authors: Norris Jordan N. , Waack Andrew L. , Becker Kathryn N. , Keener Myles , Hoyt Alastair , Reinard Kevin 
Published: May 2023

Background:Glioblastoma (GBM) incidence is higher in males, suggesting sex hormones may influence GBM tumorigenesis. Patients with GBM and altered sex hormone states could offer insight into a relationship between the two. Most GBMs arise sporadically and heritable genetic influence on GBM development is poorly understood, but reports describing familial GBM suggest genetic predispositions exist. However, no existing reports examine GBM development in context of both supraphysiologic sex hormone states and familial predisposition for GBM. We present a case of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wild type GBM in a young pregnant female with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), history ofin vitrofertilization (IVF), and significant family history of GBM and further discuss how unique sex hormone states and genetics may affect GBM development or progression.Case Description:A 35-year-old pregnant female with PCOS and recent history of IVF treatment and frozen embryo transfer presented with seizure and headache. Imaging revealed a right frontal brain mass. Molecular and histopathological analysis of the resected tumor supported a diagnosis of IDH-wild type GBM. The patient’s family medical history was significant for GBM. Current literature indicates testosterone promotes GBM cell proliferation, while estrogen and progesterone effects vary with receptor subtype and hormone concentration, respectively.Conclusion:Sex hormones and genetics likely exert influence on GBM development and progression that may compound with concurrence. Here, we describe a unique case of GBM in a young pregnant patient with a family history of glioma and atypical sex hormone exposure due to endocrine disorder and pregnancy assisted by exogenous IVF hormone administration.
