Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND:
Surgical management of meningiomas involving the petroclival junction remains a challenge because of nearby critical neurovascular structures.

OBJECTIVE:
To describe surgical approach selection, outcomes, and factors associated with postoperative complications and neurological deficits in a series of patients undergoing resection of petroclival region meningiomas.

METHODS:
Retrospective review of patients undergoing symptomatic petroclival region meningioma resection was performed. Logistic regression was performed to identify variables associated with postoperative complications and new neurological deficits.

RESULTS:
Sixty-five patients underwent 54 one-stage and 11 two-stage resections with median follow-up of 51 months. Most tumors were World Health Organization grade 1 (90.8%), and the median volume was 23.9 cm3. Posterior petrosectomy and anterior petrosectomy were performed in 67.1% and 6.6% of operations, respectively. The gross or near total resection rate was 15.4%, and 8 patients (12.3%) progressed on follow-up. The surgical complication rate was 26.2% with no perioperative mortalities. Postoperatively, 45.8% of patients had new, persistent neurological deficits, with cranial nerves VII palsy being most common. On multivariate analysis, higher body mass index (odds ratio [OR]: 1.1, P = .04) was associated with risk of surgical complications. Longer operative time (OR: 1.4, P = .004) and staged procedures (OR: 4.9, P = .04) were associated with risk of new neurological deficit on follow-up, likely reflecting more challenging tumors. Comparing early vs later career surgeries performed by the senior author, rates of severe complications and neurological deficits decreased 23.1% and 22.3%, respectively.

CONCLUSION:
Petroclival region meningiomas remain surgically challenging, but improved outcomes are seen with surgeon experience. These data help inform patients on perioperative morbidity risk and provide a guide for surgical approach selection.

Abstract. Wiryono, Kristiansen P, Bruyn LLD, Saprinurdin, Nurliana S. 2023. Ecosystem services provided by agroforestry home gardens in Bengkulu, Indonesia: Smallholder utilization, biodiversity conservation, and carbon storage. Biodiversitas 24: 2657-2665. Agroforestry system provides ecosystem services such as conserving biodiversity and providing smallholder farmers with food and other daily needs. It can also generate income for the owners. This study was conducted in 105 home gardens of four villages in Bengkulu Province, Indonesia, to analyze tree species diversity and composition, uses, and potential carbon storage in the agroforestry system of home gardens. Tree data were collected on individual trees from 200 plots (10×10 m). Home garden owners were interviewed on the uses of each tree species. The species richness of trees in each village ranged from 18 to 36, with a total of 57 species (29 introduced and 28 native) for four villages. Most trees (30 species) provided food. The above-ground carbon storage of trees ranged from 29 Mg ha-1to 127 Mg ha-1, with an average of 87 Mg ha-1. This study found that the agroforestry system in home gardens serves some ecosystem services, i.e., providing food, medicines, and other daily needs, conserving plant species and the habitat they provide, and storing carbon. These ecosystem services help villagers build resilience to changing environmental and socio-economic conditions.

Abstract. Nasution SA, Fachrial E, Ginting CN, Liena, Piska F. 2023. Bacteriocin-producing Pediococcus acidilactici BAMA 15 isolated from "naniura" traditional foods in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 2830-2835. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) have beneficial properties for their hosts, potentially promoting health and balancing the normal gut flora. Meanwhile, bacteriocin is a bacteriostatic polypeptide used as a food preservative. LAB are generally produced from fermented products, such as dengke naniura, a typical Toba Batak food. Therefore, it is estimated that the LAB present in this food has the potential as a probiotic and produces bacteriocin, an antimicrobial polypeptide compound. The purpose of this study was to identify the LAB species found in dengke naniura and to characterize the bacteriocin generated by them. The first study stages included the isolation and biochemical and morphological characterization of LAB. Nine LAB isolates (BAMA 10-11, BAMA 15-20, and BAMA 25) were isolated from the samples. The best strain for use as a probiotic was Pediococcus acidilactici BAMA 15 because its antimicrobial activity against E. coli and S. aureus was 6.44 and 7.53 mm, respectively. The bacteriocin produced has a molecular weight estimated to be ?12 kDa.

Abstract. Indriaty, Djufri, Ginting B, Hasballah K. 2023. Phytochemical screening, phenolic and flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity of Rhizophoraceae methanol extracts from Langsa, Aceh, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 2865-2876. Bruguiera cylindrica (L.) Blume,Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (L.) Lam., Ceriops decandra (Griff.) Ding Hou, Rhizophora apiculate Blume, and Rhizophora mucronata Lam. are mangrove plant species belonging to Rhizophoraceae that have been used as medicinal plants. Studies on phytochemical screening and bioactivity of Rhizophoraceae mangrove plants from the Aceh region are still limited. This study aimed to analyze the chemical compounds in Rhizophoraceae from Aceh and determine total phenolic content (TPC), flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant activity. The chemical compounds were determined using qualitative assay, TLC, and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometry (GC-MS). The antioxidant activity was tested against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Twenty extracts from various plant parts of Rhizophoraceae (roots, bark, leaves, and fruit/hypocotyl) were used in this study. The phytochemical screening of Rhizophoraceae plants revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics (tannins), terpenoids, steroids, and saponins. The highest TPC content was obtained from the bark of R. mucronata (484.39 mg GAE/g extract). Furthermore, the highest TFC was found in the leaves of R. apiculata ( 15.23 mg QE/g extract). Nineteen extracts had very high antioxidant activity (IC50: 2.35 ± 0.01 - 29.84 ± 0.19 µg/mL). The bark and roots of C. decandra had the most potent antioxidant activity (IC50: 2.35 0.01 and 3.23 0.01 µg/mL, respectively). The GC-MS revealed the presence of pyrocatechol (15.85%), antiarol (1.44%), and hexadecanoic acid (1.69%), that act as antioxidants. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Rhizophoraceae methanol extract contains phenols in the stem bark and flavonoids in the leaves with very high antioxidant activity as a good source of natural ingredients for future pharmaceutical product development. It is highly recommended to do further research to obtain pure compounds from these plants.

Published: June 2023

Background and aims
There is a demand for longitudinal studies that use both objective and subjective measures of physical activity to investigate the association of physical activity with the change in carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). In order to investigate such association, we conducted an 8-year follow-up study that used both objective and subjective measures of physical activity.

Methods
This cohort study used subsamples of the ongoing Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES). Included participants were between 49 to 79 years of age at baseline. Exclusion criteria included incomplete assessments of pedometer/accelerometer, international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ), and baseline CIMT. Participants with a history of cardiovascular diseases were further excluded. Linear regression models were used for the main analysis. Age differences were assessed by stratifying the participants into < 60 years and ≥ 60 years.

Results
After removing excluded participants, 835 participants were included in the final analysis (age, 59.84 ± 6.53 years; 326 (39.04%) males). 453 participants were < 60 years and 382 participants were ≥ 60 years. The daily total step count was inversely associated with the percent change in overall CIMT over 8-years (β = -0.015, standard error = 0.007, P = 0.034). This association was present among participants in the < 60-year-old group (β = -0.026, standard error = 0.010, P = 0.006), but not among participants in the ≥ 60-year-old group (β = -0.010, standard error = 0.011, P = 0.38).

Conclusions
The findings suggest that taking preemptive actions of increasing physical activity may prevent the incidence of atherosclerosis.

AbstractUlcerative Colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that has been associated with gut dysbiosis. Changes in the gut microbiome lead to changes in bile acids (BA) metabolism, which changes the BA profiles in patients with UC. We conducted this study to investigate the differences in bile acids and gut microbiota between Hispanic and Caucasian children and young adults with UC. Twenty‐seven Caucasian and 20 Hispanic children and young adults with UC were enrolled in the study. BAs were extracted from the subjects' stool samples and analyzed by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Microbial DNA was also extracted from the stool samples to perform 16s rRNA amplicon sequencing. The median levels of cholic acid and taurolithocholic acid were found to be significantly higher in Hispanic children and young adults with UC compared to their Caucasian counterparts. The abundance of the gut microbiota that metabolizes BAs such as Proteobacteria, Pseudomonadaceae, Pseudomonas, Ruminococcus gnavus, and Escherichia coli were also all significantly higher in Hispanic children and young adults as well. The distinct BA profile that we found in Hispanic children and young adults with UC, in addition to the unique composition of their gut microbiome, provide them with a protective gut environment against inflammation, which is contrary to the common believe that Hispanics have worse IBD.

Characteristics of linear and nonlinear approximation of isotropic classes of periodic multivariate functions
Authors: Romanyuk A.S. , Romanyuk V.S. , Pozharska K.V. , Hembars'ka S.B. 
Published: June 2023

Exact order estimates for some characteristics of linear and nonlinear approximation of the isotropic Nikol'skii-Besov classes $\mathbf{B}^r_{p,\theta}$ of periodic multivariate functions in the spaces $B_{q,1}$, $1\leq q \leq \infty$, are obtained. Among them are the best orthogonal trigonometric approximations, best $m$-term trigonometric approximations, Kolmogorov, linear and trigonometric widths.
For all considered characteristics, their estimates coincide in order with the corresponding estimates in the spaces $L_{q}$. Moreover, the obtained exact in order estimates (except the case $1<p<2\leq q < \frac{p}{p-1}$) are realized by the approximation of functions from the classes ${\mathbf{B}}^r_{p,\theta}$ by trigonometric polynomials with the spectrum in cubic regions. In any case, they do not depend on the smoothness parameter $\theta$.
Establishment of Creative Convergence Curriculum for Systematic Management of MZ Generation
Authors: LEE Choong Hyong 
Published: June 2023

A new generation of creativity (New-Collar) has arrived, not White-Collar or Blue-Collar. The main characteristics of the creative generation are the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the generation that makes good use of digital content and digital devices, expresses their tastes and colors well, and produces and consumes new things. Interest in Metaverse education that is scalable and realistic beyond space-time boundaries is growing, with the advent of the new normal era, in which non-face-to-face training has become every day’s work. With the technology development, the emergence of new educational services, and the changes in the environment at that time, the Metaverse education develops in various forms and is used in a variety of meanings. For this motivation, this study intends to examine earlier studies including curriculum procedures and present a model for creating a future creative convergence theme through a questionnaire. In addition, we intend to create a blueprint for convergence of university creativity and develop a plan to promote the design of creative convergence themes for the digital generation. This study is intended to help educational institutions think about designing curricula for the digital generation.

Published: June 2023

Background & Objectives: Beta-thalassemia is one of the complex diseases that causes many social and economic problems for the patient and his family. This study aimed to investigate factors influencing the birth of thalassemia (intermedia or major) in family members with thalassemia major in Sistan and Baluchistan province.Materials & Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted by census sampling on 48 families of thalassemia major patients with at least two children with thalassemia (intermedia or major) in their members. Data were collected through direct interviews and a review of patients' documents. The results were analyzed by SPSS (version 22) and Mann-Whitney U, Independent t-test, Wilcoxon, and Chi-square tests.Results: In this study, statistical evaluations showed that the birth of thalassemia in family members with thalassemia major whose mothers are housewives was 100% and in families that had no premarital counseling was 91.7%. There was a significant relationship between variables related to mothers' awareness of thalassemia, including their place of residence and Sistani and Baluchestani ethnics, and the birth of thalassemia in family members with thalassemia major (in both cases, P-value = 0.05); However, there was no significant relationship between other variables related to mothers' awareness such as age groups and maternal education with the birth of thalassemia in family members with thalassemia major (P-Value = 0.98 and P-Value = 0.22, respectively).Conclusion: Informing and educating before marriage for high-risk families with thalassemia children, as well as financial support for low-income families can inform parents, prevent the birth of thalassemia, and improve the quality of life of these patients.
A review of the Botany, phytochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology of Arctotis arctotoides (L.f.) O.Hoffm. (Asteraceae)
Authors: Grierson D. , Otang W.M. , Afolayan A.J. 
Published: June 2023

Background: Arctotis arctotoides (Asteraceae) is used by the rural people of the Eastern Cape for the treatment of epilepsy, indigestion and catarrh of the stomach, and the leaf juice or paste is applied topically to treat wounds and skin disorders. Unfortunately, no previous reviews are available for this important medicinal plant. Hence, the aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the botany, phytochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology of Arctotis arctotoides.
Methodology: This review was carried out using a comprehensive and systematic literature search on the following databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct and Scopus. Searches were undertaken using the key word “Arctotis arctotoides” and the six synonyms of Arctotis arctotoides identified in the Plant List.
Results: In the first phytochemical study of Arctotis arctotoides, the authors reported that sesquiterpenoids predominated in the root oil while the essential oils of the leaves, flowers and stems had both monoterpenoids and sesquiterpenoids. The literature survey reveals that Arctotis arctotoides has been investigated in four pharmacological areas, including antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer and anti-oxidant activities. Three toxicity screens for the crude extracts of A. arctotoides on cell lines, rats and brine shrimp were identified in the literature.
Conclusion: Studies detailing the bioactivity of the crude extracts and the isolated phytochemicals have provided partial evidence regarding the traditional use of A. arctotoides in the treatment of wounds in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. However, in order to fully exploit the medicinal potential of A. arctotoides, the expansion of existing traditional knowledge into the bordering communities where the plant is not currently used for the stated indications will support the greater use of the plant in primary healthcare.
Modification Color Filtering in HSV Color Space
Authors: Kusnandar Toni , Santoso Judhi , Surendro Kridanto 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The health condition of plants can be determined by calculating the vegetation index. A healthy plant is identified from photosynthetic activity that reflects a lot of green and absorbs red and blue. Image information from a visible light camera will provide a Red-Green-Blue (RGB) value for each pixel which will be used to calculate the vegetation index. RGB values are largely determined by lighting conditions (scene) at the time of shooting by the camera. Plant images are influenced by high variability of illumination conditions due to changes in natural lighting conditions; bright, cloudy or nearby object illumination. RGB represents a non-uniform color space, thereby needing transformation to other color spaces. The purpose of color space transformation is to replicate the original information from the real world without changing any actual information. Color space transformation often causes information loss, including when mapping colors. The main contribution of this study is the simplification and improvement to the selection speed of desired colors in the HSV color space using the Heaviside step function. Modification was performed by sorting out the green color at a hue value of 90°-150°. The modified results showed that green can be distinguished from other colors. The experimental results on images taken using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) showed that the results of the proposed modification increase the speed of computation time by an average of 16.60%.
