Sodium Levels and Leukocyte Levels as Predictor Factors in Cases of Pediatric Perforated Appendicitis
Authors: Givari Muhamad 
Published: February 2023

Acute appendicitis is a surgical emergency that is often found in children with higher perforation rates at a younger age. Several examinations have been put forward as predictors of the incidence of appendix perforation. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of sodium and leukocytes as predictors of perforated appendicitis in children at RSUP Dr. M. Djamil, Padang. This type of research is analytical with a cross-sectional study design. The study was conducted from August to October 2022 at RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang. The sample was taken by consecutive sampling with criteria aged 0-18 years and diagnosed with acute appendicitis at RSUP Dr. M. Djamil. In this study, a sample of 112 people with perforation occurred in 67 samples (60%). In the perforation group, most patients (55%) aged 6-11 years were male (67%), had hyponatremia laboratory results (91%) and leukocytosis laboratory results (86.5%) and underwent laparotomy procedures (57.2%). From the SPSS results, a significant difference was obtained between the incidence of hyponatremia in perforated and non-perforated appendicitis with a p-value of <0.001. The limit of the predictive value of sodium is ?134.5 mmol / L. Leukocytes were also found to be associated with perforated appendicitis with a p-value of <0.001 The limit of the predictive value of leukocytes is ? 14,025 cells / mm3. There was a significant association between sodium and leukocyte levels and perforation incidence with predictive value limits of ?134.5 mmol/L and ? 14,025 cells/mm3, respectively.

Consumer Protection Against the Production and Sale of Syrup Drugs Suspected of Being Contaminated with Hazardous Materials
Authors: Siahaan Nomensen Freddy 
Published: February 2023

Recently, the Indonesian health world has been shocked by the alleged production and sale of syrup drugs suspected to be contaminated with Ethylene Glycol (EG)/Diethylene Glycol (DEG) which exceeds the safe threshold and triggers acute renal failure in children. This is very worrying because it is feared that the impact will be even wider. Based on the information cited by the author from the news article that the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (BPOM RI) released an updated list of ethylene glycol (EG)/Diethylene Glycol (DEG) tainted syrup drugs that exceed the safe threshold. The contamination is suspected of triggering acute renal failure in children. The method which was used in this Scholar Paper was the Qualitative Research Method, a kind of Normative Legal Writing which was based on prescriptive library research concerning the study of positive law. For the Primary Legal Materials, Scholar used references such as Act Number 8 Year 1999 regarding to Consumer Protection, etc. And for Secondary Legal Material, Scholar uses books, journals, papers, newspapers, and report of legal writing. Then, for Tertiary Legal Materials, Scholar used references such as legal dictionary, dictionary Indonesian-English dictionary and vice versa, etc. Consumer has rights that must be protected from legal perspectives. Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection Article 1 point (2) states that consumers are every user of goods and or services available in society, whether for the benefit of themselves, family, others, or other living beings and not for trading. It is crystal clear as regulated by our legislation, Consumer Protection must have a guarantee of legal certainty given to consumers. In this case Consumer Protection must have a guarantee of legal certainty provided to consumers in this case is a guarantee of the safety of syrup drugs on the market so that they are safe for consumption by their buyers. Plus buyers who take the syrup medicine are in an unwell state. Of course they want what is called healing, instead of getting worse, conditions such as kidney failure or even death.

Pasca reformasi kehidupan bangsa indonesia menghadapi tantangan merebaknya politik identitas yang mengedepankan golongan atau symbol tertentu guna mendapatkan pengaruh politik. Apabila hal ini dibiarkan akan mengganggu ketahanan nasional dan kualitas demokrasi di indonesia. Fenomena ini perlu dicari solusinya, agar keran demokrasi yang ada dapat dipergunakan dengan sesuai koridor hukum di indonesia. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan kajian strategik jangka panjang tentang pengaruh politik identitas terhadap demokrasi di indonesia. Kajian ini menggunakan metode analisis kritis/deskriptif yang dilakukan melalui proses Focus Group Discussion (FGD), berbagai sumber kepustakaan (studi literatur) dan Round Table Discussion (RTD). Kemunculan politik identitas mencerminkan belum tercapainya transformasi masyarakat menuju masyarakat yang demokratis. Demokrasi masih bersifat “eksklusif” dan “transaksional”, belum “transformasional". Belum mengakarnya ideologi Partai Politik di masyarakat mengakibatkan masyarakat tidak memiliki preferensi pasti dalam memilih, sehingga partai politik saat ini selain menggunakan praktek money politics untuk mendulang suara, dan juga menggunakan populisme simbol identitas berbasis “agama” dan “non-agama”. Praktek Politik Identitas secara negatif berpengaruh pada pelaksanaan demokrasi di Indonesia yang masih belum sepenuhnya sesuai dengan cita-cita demokrasi. Dalam hal ini pemerintah bersama masyarakat perlu meningkatkan edukasi politik agar tercipta masyarakat yang rasional dan mampu berpartisipasi sesuai koridor demokrasi yang ada di Indonesia.

Статья посвящена важной проблеме детской реаниматологии и нефрологии - типичному гемолитико уремическому синдрому (тГУС). Проведено ретроспективное исследование 267 больных с тГУС за последние 5 лет. Проведена оценка клинико лабораторных данных больных и результатов лечения. Летальность составила 2,27%. Выявлено, что заместительная почечная терапия потребовалась 74,5% пациентам, основным методом заместительной почечной терапии (55,3%) был перитонеальный диализ. Анурия в дебюте заболевания являлась неблагоприятным фактором, ассоциированным с повышенным риском полиорганного поражения, вовлечения центральной нервной системы, летального исхода, а также длительной заместительной почечной терапии и неполного восстановления функций почек. С анурией ассоциирован более высокий уровень маркеров воспаления, гемолиза, тромбообразования и более низкий уровень компонента комплемента С3, а также большая длительность тромбоцитопении, что позволяет рассматривать эти показатели как предикторы тяжести тГУС. Развитие острого повреждения почек с анурией у больных с тГУС по большинству показателей значительно ухудшает прогноз пациентов и является фактором неблагоприятного прогноза у больных с тГУС.
The article is devoted to an important problem of pediatric resuscitation and nephrology - a typical hemolytic uremic syndrome (tHUS). A retrospective study of 267 patients with tHUS over the past 5 years was carried out. The evaluation of clinical and laboratory data of patients and treatment results was carried out. Mortality was 2.27%. It was revealed that renal replacement therapy was required in 74.5% of patients, the main method of renal replacement therapy (55.3%) was peritoneal dialysis. Anuria at the onset of the disease was an unfavorable factor associated with an increased risk of multiple organ damage, CNS damage, death, as well as prolonged renal replacement therapy and incomplete recovery of kidney function. Anuria is associated with a higher level of markers of inflammation, hemolysis, thrombosis) and a lower level of the C3 component of complement, as well as a longer duration of thrombocytopenia, which allows us to consider these indicators as predictors of the severity of tHUS. The development of acute kidney injury with anuria in patients with tHUS, according to most indicators, significantly worsens the prognosis of patients and is a factor in an unfavorable prognosis in patients with tHUS.
The Investigation of Vortex Motion in the YBCO Devices Manufactured Utilizing a Gaussian-shaped Optical Spot from a Continuous-wave Laser
Authors: JUKNA Arturas 
Published: February 2023

The current report focuses on the analysis of the investigation results of the Abrikosov vortex motion in the YBa2Cu3O7-d (YBCO) device, which is a c-axis textured 0.3 ´ 50 ´ 100 µm3 (thickness ´ width ´ length) stripe of YBCO superconductor deposited on a LaAlO3 substrate. A laser beam focused in a Gaussian-shape optical spot of 5 mm in diameter modifies the stripe, initiating the oxygen out-diffusion and its uneven distribution in illuminated areas and in this way causing the appearance of a higher level of deoxygenation in the spot center and a lower level at its edges (slopes of weak superconductivity region). At temperatures below the temperature of the superconducting transition Tc, the current-self-produced magnetic field penetrates the optically modified area of the stripe in a form of Abrikosov magnetic vortices, and due to the current-self-produced Lorentz force, the vortices move toward their annihilation line resulting in energy dissipation. The vortices pinned on the slopes experience strong pinning and exert a magnetic drag force on moving vortices, which is confirmed by the stepped current-voltage dependences of the YBCO devices measured at temperatures 0.933·Tc £ T £ 0.958·Tc. Our results demonstrate the advantages of partially deoxygenated YBCO material for the development of superconducting electronic devices with electronic properties controlled by the motion of Abrikosov vortices at temperatures below Tc of the superconductor.
Between areolated and band-shaped spots: a revision of Lacronia Strand, 1942 (Opiliones, Gonyleptidae).
Authors: Carvalho Rafael N. , Kury Adriano B. 
Published: February 2023

The genus Lacronia Strand, 1942 is herein revised, and a maximum parsimony phylogenetic analysis of morphological characters (30 taxa, 115 characters, 2962 scorings) is performed to test its monophyly. As a result, Lacronia is herein made monophyletic by means of the inclusion of Discocyrtus boraceae B. Soares, 1942, Discocyrtus niger Mello-Leitão, 1923 and Discocyrtus tenuis Roewer, 1917. Lacronia including those species is the sister group of Discocyrtus s. str. inside the DRMN-clade, and should be removed from Pachylinae Sørensen, 1884, although without a new subfamilial assignment for now. Four new junior subjective synonyms are detected for the first time (Discocyrtus rarus B. Soares, 1944 = Discocyrtus fazi Piza, 1942 = Discocyrtus niger Mello-Leitão, 1923; Discocyrtus infelix Mello-Leitão, 1940 = Discocyrtus nigrolineatus Mello-Leitão, 1923 = Discocyrtus tenuis Roewer, 1917). Accordingly, the following new combinations are proposed: Lacronia boraceae (B. Soares, 1942) comb. nov., Lacronia nigra (Mello-Leitão, 1923) comb. nov. and Lacronia tenuis (B. Soares, 1942) comb. nov. Lacronia is endemic to the Atlantic province of Brazil, with verified records from the states of Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina and São Paulo. As a geographic note, the record of ‘D. fazi’ for Chile is here discussed and considered incorrect.

A novel hybrid algorithm based on Harris Hawks for tumor feature gene selection
Authors: Liu Junjian , Feng Huicong , Tang Yifan , Zhang Lupeng , Qu Chiwen , Zeng Xiaomin , Peng Xiaoning 
Published: February 2023

Background
Gene expression data are often used to classify cancer genes. In such high-dimensional datasets, however, only a few feature genes are closely related to tumors. Therefore, it is important to accurately select a subset of feature genes with high contributions to cancer classification.

Methods
In this article, a new three-stage hybrid gene selection method is proposed that combines a variance filter, extremely randomized tree and Harris Hawks (VEH). In the first stage, we evaluated each gene in the dataset through the variance filter and selected the feature genes that meet the variance threshold. In the second stage, we use extremely randomized tree to further eliminate irrelevant genes. Finally, we used the Harris Hawks algorithm to select the gene subset from the previous two stages to obtain the optimal feature gene subset.

Results
We evaluated the proposed method using three different classifiers on eight published microarray gene expression datasets. The results showed a 100% classification accuracy for VEH in gastric cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia and ovarian cancer, and an average classification accuracy of 95.33% across a variety of other cancers. Compared with other advanced feature selection algorithms, VEH has obvious advantages when measured by many evaluation criteria.
Association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD): a meta-analysis
Authors: Noureen Naila , Zaidi Nousheen 
Published: February 2023

Objectives
We recently studied the association between various human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). According to our analysis, HLA-B*50 and HLA-DQA1*3 alleles were positively associated with ESRD, while B*40, DRB1*12, DRB1*13, and DQA1*6 alleles were negatively associated with ESRD. However, a single case-control study does not have enough statistical power to evaluate the possible impact of genetic polymorphism on any disease. Hence, the main objective of this meta-analysis is to determine the association between these abovementioned HLA alleles and ESRD.

Design
MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were searched through December 2020 for case-control studies on the associations between HLA polymorphisms and ESRD. Independent reviewers screened the texts of potentially eligible studies and assessed the risk of bias. The meta-analysis was conducted based on the checklists and guidelines based on PRISMA.

Results
We identified 26 case-control studies comprising 1,312 ESRD and 3,842 healthy subjects. A non-significant positive association was observed between HLA-B*50 (OR = 1.02, 95% CI [0.90, 1.24]), HLA-B*40 (OR = 1.75, 95% CI [0.98, 3.2]), HLA-DQA1*3, (OR = 1.17, 95% CI [0.74, 1.84]), DRB1*12 (OR = 1.05, 95% CI [0.94, 1.18]) alleles and ESRD. In addition, a non-significant negative association was observed between HLA-DRB1*13 (OR = 0.90, CI [0.81, 1.01]), HLA-DQB1*6 (OR = 0.79, 95% CI [0.58, 1.07]) alleles and ESRD.

Conclusions
Our meta-analysis indicates no significant association between HLA-B*50, HLA-DQA1*3, B*40, DRB1*12, DRB1*13, and DQA1*6 alleles and ESRD. Further studies with larger sample sizes and adjustments for confounders are required to confirm these conclusions.
Role of tea plantations in the maintenance of bird diversity in Anji County, China
Authors: Wu Jueying , Hu Jinli , Zhao Xinyu , Sun Yangyang , Hu Guang 
Published: February 2023

BackgroundTea plantations support regional sustainable development and have the potential to support more biodiversity than urban open spaces. Numerous studies have shown the value of low-intensity agroecosystems for preserving biodiversity, however tea plantations have received less attention. The relationship between tea plantations and the diversity of macro-organisms, such as birds, is still not fully understood.MethodsWe investigated the bird diversity and vegetation conditions and calculated landscape metrics in 30 tea plantations in Anji County, Zhejiang Province, China. At these 30 sampling sites, we recorded 262 individuals belonging to 37 species, which were classified into two guilds: nature- and urban-dependent birds. We used cluster analysis to group the sampling sites based on the abundance of the birds. Then we evaluated the effects of associated plant diversity in tea plantations and the surrounding landscape composition on these bird guilds using species association computation and a generalized linear model.ResultsThe results show that the maintenance of bird diversity by tea plantations benefits both nature- and urban-dependent birds. We found that landscape-scale factors surrounding the tea plantations mainly affected the bird richness due to their habitat selection. Landscape agglomeration and habitat quality were the dominant landscape-scale metrics. Patch-scale factors of tea plantations, especially the vegetation structure, had a strong influence on the abundance of the birds. Nature-dependent birds preferred to occur in tea plantations with perennial herbs, while urban-dependent birds were attracted by the general distributed plants, as annual herbs. Therefore, we concluded that tea plantations play an important role as a transitional zone between natural habitats and urban areas, thus reducing the impact of urbanization and maintaining bird diversity in low-quality habitats.
