Abstract
A study aimed about examining the correlation between dry matter consumption, dry matter digestibility of feed and final body weight was carried out on local goats (Kambing Kacang) fed on basal feed of sugarcane top leaf (STL) and urea molasses block containing different percentages of coffee husk waste flour (UMB-CHWF) has been carried out for 90 days of observation using a completely randomized design. This study used 16 young male goats aged 6 months and fed on 4 types of feed treatment, namely: P1 (fed on STL and UMB without CHWF), P2 (fed on STL and UMB contained 10% of CHWF), P3 (fed on STL and UMB contained 20% of CHWF) and P4 (fed on STL and UMB contained 30% of CHWF. The results showed that combination of STL and UMB feed containing 20% CHWF showed a very close positive correlation (coefficient correlation was 0.79, 0.63 and 0.93, respectively) between the increase in amount of dry matter consumption, dry matter digestibility and final body weight better than other treatments. However, the percentage of CHWF in UMB increased to 30% percent did not changes in totol amount of dry matter consumption, dry matter digestibilityor final body weight on Kambing Kacang after weaning period.

Abstract
Soil fauna as ecosystem engineers and biochar play a role in spore modulating of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). This study aims to analyze the effect of the soil fauna and biochar dosage on the AMF spore in abundance and diversity, and to investigate infection presence of AMF to maize roots grown in modified soil. Sixteen combinations of the soil fauna and biochar dosage in 1.5 kg of soil were tested. The abundance, genus richness, Shannon indices, and Simpson indices of AMF spore counted at 4, 6, and 8 weeks after treatment. Maize grown in different pots filled with 100 g of soil from each treatment, and root infection using aniline blue staining observed after 28 days of rearing. The results showed the total spore produced with 15 Pheretima sp. + 15 Ponera sp. and 50 g of biochar was the highest, while the treatment without ecosystem engineers and 150 g of biochar produced the fewest. Furthermore, genus richness with 15 Pheretima sp. + 15 Ponera sp. and without biochar was the richest, while the treatment without ecosystem engineers and 150 g biochar was the poorest. Maize grown on soils treated with ecosystem engineers and biochar dose up to 50 g sustained life, while the 100 g and 150 g treatments did not, as roots infected with the mycorrhizal. Based on the results, the soil fauna and biochar dosage to some extent increased the number of AMF spores and created a suitable soil environment for growth and AMF infections to maize roots.

Abstract
Tourism is a whole related elements which consist of tourists, tourist destinations, travel, industry and so on which are tourism activities. Based on the 2020-2024 National Medium-Term Development Plan, the tourism sector in Indonesia is a priority sector for national development in the economic sector and is one of the largest foreign exchange earners for Indonesia. In the development of the tourism sector, the City of Balikpapan has quite a lot of potential, considering that the topography of the City of Balikpapan is dominated by hills with a fairly extensive forest, making the City of Balikpapan as a tourist spot for protected forests and nature reserves (Balikpapan City Regional Medium-Term Development Plan 2016-2032). One of the protected forests in Balikpapan City is the Meranti Protected Forest, which is located in Karang Joang Village, precisely in Banyumas Village. The Meranti forest area has an area of about 70 hectares which is owned by the city government which was handed over to the Balikpapan Protected Forest Management Unit (KPHL) to be used as a tourist area. So that the main function of the area does not change, it is necessary to plan the use of protected areas as tourist areas. This study uses content analysis, comparative analysis, and triangulation based on applicable policies and regulations as well as existing conditions and best practices. The results of the study indicate that in planning the use of protected forests as tourist areas, it is necessary to pay attention to 5 principles, namely: the principle of conservation, the principle of education and creation, the principle of economics, the principle of control, and the principle of participation.

AbstractThis study aimed to evaluate the response of soybeans to the application of various amendments to the sub-optimal dryland of Aceh Besar. A pot experiment was conducted in a greenhouse in Darussalam, Banda Aceh at an altitude of 3 m above sea level. The soil amendments used are biochar, compost, CaCO3lime, and SP-36 phosphate fertilizer (SP-36). The experiment used a bifactorial 8 x 3 Randomized Block Design (RBD) in 2 replications. The first factor was the application of amendments consisting of eight levels, namely: control (without ameliorant or 0 t ha−1), applications of biochar 20 t ha−1, compost 20 t ha−1, CaCO34 t ha−1, SP-36, 4 t ha−1, biochar 10 t ha−1+ CaCO34 t ha−1, compost 10 t ha−1+ CaCO34 t ha−1, and biochar 10 t ha−1+ compost 10 t ha−1. The second factor is the three soil orders originating from the dryland farming system of Aceh Besar, namely: Andisols Saree, Inceptisols Cucum, and Ultisols Jantho. The soil used was taken from the top layer at a 0-20 cm depth. The soybean tested was the Anjasmoro variety with a potential yield of 2.03-2.25 t ha−1. The results showed that the application of amendments (Biochar, Compost, CaCO3, and SP-36) to three soil orders from the dryland of Aceh Besar could increase soybean growth and yield with a maximum yield of 2.2 t ha−1. In Andisols Saree and Inceptisols Cucum, the highest soybean yield was obtained when combined with biochar and compost at a dose of 10 tons ha−1. In Ultisols Jantho it was got when compost was given a single dose of 20 t ha−1. The growth and yield of Anjasmoro soybean varieties on Ultisols Jantho were better than those on Andisols Saree and Inceptisols Cucum.

Abstract
BNI Urban Forest Banda Aceh has a land area of 7.15 ha in Tibang Village, Syiah Kuala District, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. It has various tree species to showcase the charm of the local environment, not to mention various types of butterflies and birds, which transit, nidify, or find foods. Data collection was accomplished by exploring the forest area as the research location and identifying the species and number of trees by census. In details, we listed the all tree species one by one. The data observed, which were in the form coordinates, were retrieved through the use of GPS by labelling their local and Latin names, circumferences, diameters, and heights. Sixteen tree species in the forest with a total of 318 trees were identified. Cemara laut (Casuarina equisetifolia) was the most commonly found tree species with 163 in total.

Abstract
The production of bilimbi jam is an effort to diversify food and use local ingredients as a source of functional food. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal formula for bilimbi jam based on consumer assessments through sensory testing for bilimbi jam. The treatment factors studied were variations in the amount of bilimbi fruit (X1) and sugar (X2). The treatment response observed was sensory analysis including colour, aroma, taste, and texture. The results of the RSM analysis show that the amount of bilimbi fruit and sugar has a significant effect on colour, and has no significant effect on the aroma, taste, and texture of bilimbi jam. The optimal formula was obtained at the amount of bilimbi fruit (X1) of 412 grams and sugar (X2) of 271 grams, with a target taste of 6 (like) and a colour target of 5 (somewhat like) and obtained a colour score (Y1) of 6 (like), aroma score (Y2) of 4.7 ≈ 5 (slightly like), taste score (Y3) of 5.6 ≈ 6 (like), and texture score (Y4) of 4.7 ≈ 5 (somewhat like). Bilimbi fruit can be used to make fruit jam with good sensory acceptability, so that it can be developed into a promising local food.

Abstract
Artificial bone substitutes have been developed using various biomaterials for use in medicine. Silk fibroin (SF) displays excellent mechanical properties and cell compatibility. Nonetheless, the mechanical properties of silk fibroin scaffolds used in artificial bone substitutes are weaker than those of natural bone, and silk fibroin is deficient as an osteogenic agent. This limits their effectiveness in bone tissue engineering. We added nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) particles to an existing cell-based artificial bone substitute with a silk fibroin scaffold, which will improve its mechanical properties and osteogenic efficacy, leading to significant bone regeneration. The mechanical characters of silk fibroin modifying with nHAp were measured by Atomic Force Microscopy Analysis, dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, Porosity measurement, and Microcomputed Tomography. The proliferation and toxicity of a fibroin/dextran/collagen sponge (FDS) containing nHAp were evaluated in vitro, and its osteogenic efficacy was evaluated using nude mouse and rabbit radius defect models. The defect area was repaired and showed callus formation of new bone in the rabbit radius defect models of the nHAp-FDS-treated group, whereas the defect area was unchanged in the FDS-treated group. The nHAp-FDS manufactured in this study showed significant bone regeneration owing to the synergistic effects of the components, such as those due to the broad range of pore sizes in the sponge and protein adsorbability of the nHAp, which could be suggested as a better supportive material for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Flexible electrochromic technology has gained numerous attentions in flexible smart wearable devices and flexible displays. For large-area flexible electrochromic devices (FECDs), highly conductive transparent electrodes with advanced stability at a prolonged redox cycling process are indispensable. In this work, a silver (Ag)/nickel (Ni) mesh/PH 1000 hybrid transparent film were successfully fabricated by selectively electrodepositing an 800 nm-thick dense metallic Ni layer and coating PH 1000 on an embedded Ag mesh to improve its electrochemical stability. The prepared hybrid transparent film presented high conductivity with a sheet resistance of below 1.5 Ω sq−1 at over 80% optical transmittance. The Ag/Ni mesh/PH 1000 was successfully utilized as current collectors for all-solid-state FECDs, showing fast coloration switching with a bleaching/coloring time of 0.7 s/0.9 s. In addition, the device demonstrated an exceptional electrochemical cycling stability, which could sustain 89% of its initial optical modulation after 25 000 cycles. More importantly, a remarkable mechanical durability was also achieved with a small optical modulation decay of 15% and an invariable response time after 1000 rolling cycles. In addition, uniform coloration were realized on a 6 × 6 cm2 FECD, demonstrating its great potential for applications of next-generation up-scaling FECDs.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Non-reciprocal devices that allow a signal to be transmitted only in one direction are important for full-duplex communications. Due to the requirements of miniaturized systems, there has been an increase interest in non-magnetic non-reciprocal devices in recent years. Based on parity-time (PT) symmetric inductors-capacitors (LC) resonators, this paper has proposed non-reciprocal transmission configurations by PT-symmetry breaking. In the configuration, the coupled capacitance between the two coupled LC resonators can be adjusted so that the transmission frequency is tunable. At the same time, the resonant frequency and transmission frequency have been discriminated to optimize the non-reciprocal transmission. The configuration has been implemented by utilizing discrete components on a printed circuit board (PCB). It demonstrates that the center operation frequency of 14.05 MHz with the bandwidth 4 MHz, the insertion loss 0.32 dB, and the isolation 11 dB is adjusted to the center operation frequency of 14.95 MHz with the bandwidth 4.6 MHz, the insertion loss 0.716 dB, and the isolation 14.5 dB.

Published: June 2023

OBJECTIVES:
Early studies of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in COVID-19 have revealed similar outcomes to historical cohorts. Changes in the disease and treatments have led to differences in the patients supported on venovenous ECMO in the first and second waves. We aimed to compare these two groups in both the acute and follow-up phase.

DESIGN:
Retrospective single-center cohort study comparing mortality at censoring date (November 30, 2021) and decannulation, patient characteristics, complications and lung function and quality of life (QOL—by European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 3 Level Version) at first follow-up in patients supported on venovenous ECMO between wave 1 and wave 2 of the COVID-19 pandemic.

SETTING:
Critical care department of a severe acute respiratory failure service.

PATIENTS:
Patients supported on ECMO for COVID-19 between wave 1 (March 17, 2020, to August 31, 2020) and wave 2 (January 9, 2020, to May 25, 2021).

INTERVENTIONS:
None.

MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:
One hundred twenty-three patients were included in our analysis. Survival at censoring date (χ2, 6.35; p = 0.012) and decannulation (90.4% vs 70.0%; p < 0.001) was significantly lower in the second wave, while duration of ECMO run was longer (12.0 d [18.0–30.0 d] vs 29.5 d [15.5–58.3 d]; p = 0.005). Wave 2 patients had longer application of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) prior to ECMO and a higher frequency of barotrauma. Patient age and NIV use were independently associated with increased mortality (odds ratio 1.07 [1.01–1.14]; p = 0.025 and 3.37 [1.12–12.60]; p = 0.043, respectively). QOL and lung function apart from transfer coefficient of carbon monoxide corrected for hemoglobin was similar at follow-up across the waves.

CONCLUSIONS:
Most patients with COVID-19 supported on ECMO in both waves survived in the short and longer term. At follow-up patients had similar lung function and QOL across the two waves. This suggests that ECMO has an ongoing role in the management of a carefully selected group of patients with COVID-19.

Published: June 2023

Objective:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall response rate (ORR) of patients with recurrent endometrial cancer (REC) or advanced endometrial cancer (AEC) retreated with platinum-containing chemotherapy (PCC) based on the platinum-free interval (PFI). We compared our results with those reported in the KEYNOTE-775 study (that used pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib).

Methods:
A retrospective analysis was conducted of 65 patients with REC or AEC retreated with PCC between 2005 and 2020 at our hospital. Various clinicopathologic variables were analyzed: (1) age, (2) performance status, (3) histology, (4) history of pelvic irradiation in the adjuvant setting, (5) PFI, (6) chemotherapy regimen, (7) PFS and overall survival after retreatment with PCC, and (8) best ORR. Survival analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests.

Results:
The best ORR and PFS were 43.3% and 9.5 months, respectively, in patients with REC/AEC with a PFI ≥6 months. These results were comparable with those of patients treated with pembrolizumab and lenvatinib. The best ORR and PFS of patients with a PFI of <6 months appeared to be inferior to those of patients treated with pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib.

Conclusions:
Pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib seems to be a better treatment choice for patients with REC or AEC with a PFI of <6 months. For a PFI of ≥6 months, pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib or PCC can be used depending on the degree of residual side -effects associated with cytotoxic agents.

Abstract

Introduction
Mucormycosis is a rare, opportunistic infection commonly associated with diabetes mellitus, acidosis, neutropenia, organ transplantation, high-dose glucocorticoid therapy, iron overload syndromes, and hematologic malignancy.

Case
Invasive infection usually presents with rhino-orbital-cerebral (34%), cutaneous (22%), and pulmonary (20%) manifestations. Cutaneous cases are almost always precipitated by trauma or wounds. Only 6 previous cases of cutaneous mucormycosis (Mucor, Rhizopus, Lichtheimia, and others) infection of the breast have been reported in the literature. We herein report a woman with fatal submammary mucormycosis.

Report
A 45-year-old diabetic woman with alcohol use disorder was admitted from her basement living quarters with septic shock and lactic acidosis. During her intensive care unit stay, she developed worsening eschar of left submammary region. Cultures revealed Rhizopus species and surgical resection revealed invasive hyphae classic for mucormycosis. Despite treatment with liposomal amphotericin and complete resection, the patient died.

Discussion

Rhizopus infection complicated sepsis-related lactic acidosis and preexisting submammary intertrigoseveral days after admission. This case emphasizes the importance of a continued thorough physical examination that includes visualization of intertriginous areas, including those in submammary areas in septic patients in the critical care unit.
