Published: January 2025

Abstract
For boosting the degradation activity of methyl violet employing photocatalyst, titanium dioxide modified by natural zeolite (TNZ) was successfully produced by sonication method. TiO2 is a photocatalyst that can be used to degrade methyl violet. TNZ was characterized using XRD to determine crystal structure, XRF to determine the elemental composition, and Spectrophotometer UV-Vis/DRS to determine band gap energy and absorbance in the long wavelength region. Furthermore, TNZ was examined its photodegradation activity, including the effect of irradiation time, optimum catalyst mass, and optimum dye concentration for dye degradation. The XRD characterization results show that TiO2 has an anatase phase, zeolite has a modernite phase. The XRF results indicate that some impurities in zeolite have been successfully removed after the activation process. Ti content in TNZ is 63.64%. Natural zeolite can decrease the band gap of TiO2 from 3.31 eV to 3.29 eV. The optimum time for the photodegradation process is found to be 150 minutes with a degradation percentage of 98.27%. The optimum catalyst mass for the photodegradation process is 20 mg with a degradation percentage of 99.47%. The optimum dye concentration for the photodegradation process is 10 ppm with a degradation percentage of 99.74%.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The World Cement Association reported in 2024 that global demand for cement continues to rise, despite the material’s non-renewable nature and significant environmental impact, contributing to 8% of total CO₂ emissions. This research explores the use of bagasse fiber as a partial substitute for cement in concrete production to reduce cement consumption, produce eco-friendly concrete, and repurpose sugar industry waste. The study aims to determine the optimal composition of bagasse fiber in precast concrete by evaluating compressive strength. Using a quantitative, experimental method, 30 concrete samples with varying bagasse fiber content—0%, 5%, 10%, 25%, and 30%—were tested for compressive strength, with six samples per variation. Bagasse fiber content was the independent variable, while compressive strength was the dependent variable, measured in accordance with SNI-7394-2008 standards. Results indicated that increasing bagasse fiber content decreased concrete compressive strength. Samples with 30% bagasse fiber achieved 0.62 MPa at 14 days and 0.91 MPa at 28 days, meeting the criteria for lightweight, low-strength concrete (0.35-7.00 MPa) suitable for heat-retaining walls. This study contributes to sustainable construction by reducing bagasse waste and promoting accessible, eco-friendly concrete production for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This research aims to develop an optimal hydrogel formula using Design Expert 13.0 and the Simplex Lattice Design (SLD) method. The hydrogel combines Centella asiatica and Moringa oleifera extracts with carbopol 940 as a gelling agent and triethanolamine (TEA) as an alkalizer. Hydrogels were chosen due to their ease of use, cooling effect, and superior biocompatibility compared to other topical formulations like ointments or creams. The study focused on optimizing the formula to meet Indonesian National Standards (SNI). After eight hydrogel formula trials using the SLD method, physical evaluations were conducted, including organoleptic tests, pH measurements, spreadability, and viscosity tests. The optimal formula contained 0.6% Carbopol and 0.4% TEA, validated with three replications. The hydrogel exhibited a deep green color, a distinctive extract aroma, and a thick texture, meeting SNI standards with an average pH of 7.1±0.29, spreadability of 5.7±0.21 cm, and viscosity of 20,080±0.35 cPs. Stability tests confirmed its quality after cycling and centrifugal evaluations. This study promotes sustainable and eco-friendly practices by utilizing natural extracts, reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals, and contributing to environmentally conscious topical drug innovations. The development of such hydrogels aligns with sustainability goals, offering biodegradable and safe formulations that minimize environmental impact.
Sciences (in)Action
Authors: Fischhoff Baruch 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
After positing the conditions for applying disciplinary science to problems that cross disciplines, this chapter illustrates those conditions with examples of one application that was a success and one that was a failure. The former is the time- and politics-stressed development of an ethical and practical national policy (in the US) for allocating COVID-19 vaccine, before it was even known when, or if, a vaccine would be found. The latter is the collapse of an effort (in the US) to incorporate management science as a core climate science discipline, forty-plus years ago. The chapter analyses the sources of these experiences, and how the world and the disciplines might have been different had those outcomes been different. It proposes five factors that determine the success (or failure) of such ventures. It also proposes that management science, broadly defined, could play a leadership role in satisfying them. In that vision, decision science provides one essential component, bridging analytical and behavioral approaches to problem solving.
Management Science as a Bonding Discipline
Authors: Fischhoff Baruch 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
A natural arc for new disciplines is to begin as novel collaborations, filling gaps in the research world, followed by a period of consolidation that gradually isolates them in a boundedly rational world of their own creation. This chapter illustrates that arc with behavioral decision research. It tracks how the field was incompletely absorbed by psychology (which does not have its analytical perspectives) and economics (which does not have its behavioral expertise). The chapter argues that schools of management science are the natural home for behavioral decision research, where it can avoid isolation and provide a platform for those schools to realize the strategy for bonding bounded disciplines. It discusses the internal incentives that those schools must provide, in rewarding faculty, and the external incentives that they need, in terms of research funding and student enrolments. It concludes by arguing that the state of the world and academia make the strategy an urgent and attractive option.
Modernist Poetics of Ageing
Authors: French Jade Elizabeth 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This book explores a ‘poetics of ageing’ in the creative, biographical, and archival materials of H.D. (1886–1961), Mina Loy (1882–1966), and Djuna Barnes (1892–1982). A ‘poetics of ageing’ indicates the ongoing inner creative life of older people, by which we all actively ‘grow’ (rather than passively ‘get’) older. Using this definition, the book offers a new approach to the late works of each author as they ‘report back’ on their experiences of ageing through poetry, prose, visual art, and photography. After fulfilling their role as the youthful modern woman of the 1920s, H.D., Loy, and Barnes continued to create rich, avant-garde works that go well beyond the paradigms of late modernism. I focus on the late reception of each author, as well as thematic representations of ageing in their work, to examine the tensions of ageing against the backdrop of the latter half of the twentieth century. Pairing cultural gerontology with modernist studies provides a conceptual vocabulary to consider works written about and in later life, allowing this book to approach ageing as an embodied experience using material cultures to expand on each authors’ late lives. By surveying life writing, archives, and publication history, the book attends to the intersection of old age as lived and as well as written to argue that modernist late writing embodies the realities of ageing and transforms them through avant-garde aesthetics.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Motivation
Recent advancements in parallel sequencing methods have precipitated a surge in publicly available short-read sequence data. This has encouraged the development of novel computational tools for the de novo assembly of transcriptomes from RNA-seq data. Despite the availability of these tools, performing an end-to-end transcriptome assembly remains a programmatically involved task necessitating familiarity with best practices. Aside from quality control steps, including error correction, adapter trimming, and chimera filtration needing to be correctly used, moving data between programs often requires manual reformatting or restructuring, which can further impede throughput. Here, we introduce Semblans, a tool for streamlining the assembly process that efficiently and consistently produces high-quality transcriptome assemblies.

Results
Semblans abstracts the key quality control, reconstitution, and postprocessing steps of transcriptome assembly from raw short-read sequences to annotated coding sequences. Evaluating its performance against previously assembled transcriptomes on the basis of assembly quality, we find that Semblans produced higher quality assemblies for 98 of the 101 short-read runs tested.

Availability and implementation
Semblans is written in C++ and runs on Unix-compliant operating systems. Source code, documentation, and compiled binaries are hosted under the GNU General Public License at https://github.com/gladshire/Semblans.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
In designing a modern home with focus on comfort of resident and energy usage optimization simultaneously, the rise of the Internet of Things and incorporation with sensors technology plays a vital role these days. The first and foremost task is to predict the energy consumption in based on available data. This study investigates the integration of artificial neural networks in smart home technology to improve energy usage prediction and efficiency, with compromising the comfort of occupant. A dynamic model based on an artificial neural network model is designed in this study which artificially controls light, heating process and cooling to cut down energy wastage. Data from 114 single-family apartments for energy consumption is collected from year 2014 to 2016. Energy consumption is predicted by current model with an accuracy of up to 99.9% for energy usage patterns. Which helps to optimizing resource management in real time. A robust modeling approach i.e. multi-layer perceptron networks was implemented along with energy usage data. 70% of data is used for training the neural networks and rest for testing and validation purpose. The current defined model shows a significant improvement in prediction accuracy of energy usage and efficiency when compared to state-of-the-art models. Metrics such as R-values and mean square error are employed to check accuracy. These results show the essential role of artificial intelligence in improving energy management for smart buildings, with potential benefits including significant energy usage and loss management to help improve sustainable living.
News, diplomacy and the 1655 Piedmont massacre in Cromwellian England
Authors: Greenspan Nicole 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study advances a microhistory of news of the 1655 massacre of the Waldenses at Piedmont. The breadth and volume of source materials afford a rich opportunity to trace the composition, circulation, alteration and impact of news. It also enables close examination of the exercise of public diplomacy. As subjects of the duke of Savoy, the Waldenses did not have their own formal diplomatic capacity, instead utilizing informal networks of agents and supporters. The Protectorate government leveraged publicity of the massacre to pressure France to intervene on the Waldenses’ behalf and manage the pace and timing of Anglo-French diplomatic negotiations.
Host-seeking and exophilic-endophilic activities of Culicoides spp. (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) with notes on two trapping methods
Authors: Maitra Mazumdar Shuddhasattwa , Banerjee Nabanita , Mondal Biswajit , Pal Arjun , Kar Surajit , Harsha Rupa , Mazumdar Abhijit 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Host-seeking behavior of Culicoides species was examined from 2018 to 2019 in West Bengal, India, which elucidated diel activity, feeding success, attack rate, biting rate, and preferential landing of adult Culicoides on the cattle. A comparative assessment was done between the light trap and the aspirator. The host-seeking experiment involved a substantial timeframe of 297 h of catch collections over 27 nights. The number of adult Culicoides captured in the light trap was 1.3 times higher than the aspirator collections. The species in light trap catch were Culicoides oxystoma Kieffer Culicoides peregrinus Kieffer, and Culicoides fulvus Sen and Das Gupta (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae). However, only C. oxystoma and C. peregrinus were collected using the aspirator. The findings related to feeding success, attack rate, and biting rate carried significant implications for the vectorial potential of C. oxystoma and C. peregrinus. The light trap data suggest that Culicoides species displayed crepuscular behavior, while the aspirator collections peaked 1 h before sunrise, between 04:00 and 05:00 h, and gradually declined. A separate study evaluated the exophily and endophily of Culicoides in 2016 at Memari in West Bengal. To delve into the indoor–outdoor activity, 264 trap collections were made in 4 combinations: Light trap operated in the presence and absence of cattle, placed outdoors and indoors. The study revealed that the outdoor prevalence of midges was 14 times higher than the indoor. There was a 6-time increase in the prevalence of adult Culicoides in the presence of cattle, indicating a preference for outdoor locations for feeding.

Background
There are few studies investigating the drivers of health disparities in pediatric antimicrobial prescription. The purpose of this study is to assess baseline knowledge, parental expectations and provider bias in relationship to antimicrobial prescription and resistance.

Methods
This is an anonymous, voluntary exploratory survey of parents of pediatric patients at a primary care center (PCC) and healthcare providers at a pediatric emergency department and PCC in Indianapolis, IN between April and June 2023. Parents were enrolled in the waiting room of the PCC and completed a paper survey. Providers completed a unique, electronically delivered survey. The survey collected demographic/ socioeconomic data and information on knowledge/expectations of antibiotic use and resistance.

Results
A total of 100 parents and 54 providers participated. Overall, parents disagreed that a doctor’s decision to prescribe antibiotics could be influenced by bias based on race/ethnicity or a family’s level of income (74.4% and 75.9%, respectively). Over 80% had heard the term “antibiotic resistance” and 54.9% agreed that it is a “big problem.” In multivariable analyses controlling for age and place of birth, parents born in the United States were less likely to agree with being worried about the impact of antibiotic resistance on personal/family’s health (OR 0.11, 95% CI 0.03, 0.41, p=0.001).
For physician respondents, about 85% agreed that antimicrobial resistance is a significant problem for children in their community while only about 52% agreed that there are disparities in antibiotic prescribing across racial/ethnic groups and income levels. Eighty-seven percent of physicians agreed that parental expectations to receive an antibiotic may influence provider decision-making.

Conclusions
This exploratory survey revealed that most parents and providers were not concerned about disparate antimicrobial prescription practices, while most parents had heard of the term antimicrobial resistance and most providers agreed it is a significant problem. Larger studies are needed to further investigate the role of provider bias and parental perception in antimicrobial prescription and resistance.

No conflicts of interest.

Methods
We retrospectively collected data from the electronic medical records of pediatric patients who received a BVT. For each patient, we extracted the following information: demographics, clinical presentation, microbiology test results, ancillary inflammatory markers (procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, and leukocyte counts), and the course of antibiotics received. An infectious disease specialist, in collaboration with a clinical chemist, adjudicated the infectious etiology (viral or bacterial) for each patient using clinical parameters, microbiology results, and radiological findings. Finally, we analyzed antibiotic use patterns among patients with a BVT indicating a viral infection, comparing it to the adjudicated diagnosis.

Results
Our study cohort included 38 pediatric patients. Of these, 17 received a viral score, 7 an equivocal score, and 14 a bacterial score. Among those with a viral score, clinical adjudication confirmed a viral etiology in 15 patients (88.2%), while 2 were adjudicated as bacterial. Excluding equivocal scores, the BVT demonstrated a sensitivity of 88%, specificity of 86%, positive predictive value of 88%, and negative predictive value of 86% for viral infections. Notably, despite having both a viral score and adjudicated viral etiology, 53% of patients (9/17) still received a complete course of antibiotics.

Conclusion
Our findings indicate that the BVT demonstrates good sensitivity and high positive predictive value for identifying viral infections in our pediatric cohort. This suggests its potential as a valuable tool to guide clinical decision-making and promote antibiotic stewardship. Even when the BVT indicated a viral infection, a significant proportion of patients received unnecessary antibiotics. Further studies are needed to explore how the BVT can be best integrated into clinical practice to optimize antibiotic use and improve patient outcomes.
Impact of vaginoplasty on sexual health and satisfaction in transgender women
Authors: Kitic Alexandre , Pozzo Victor , Kitic Nicolas , Atlan Michael , Rausky Jonathan 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
Demand for gender-affirming surgery (GAS) is rising. The main objective of this surgery is the creation of a perineo-genital complex that appears and functions as femininely as possible, with a sensitive clitoris and a vagina capable of receptive intercourse. Penile skin inversion is currently regarded as the gold standard technique. Although previous research indicates positive subjective outcomes following GAS procedures in transgender women, comprehensive data concerning their sexual satisfaction and health remains limited.

Aims
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of vaginoplasty on sexual health and satisfaction in transgender women using the penile inversion technique.

Methods
We performed a retrospective study on 56 patients who underwent primary penile skin inversion vaginoplasty. The survey was made of two validated questionnaires in cis-women (Female Genital Self-Image Scale and Female Sexual Function Index) and one custom questionnaire, which explored various aspects of sexual health and satisfaction.

Outcomes
Improvement in overall sexual life and satisfaction.

Results
Mean FGSIS score was 22.8 and mean FSFI score was 22.1. Sexual health after vaginoplasty was significantly improved. Around 70% (n = 39) of patients rated their post-operative self-confidence &gt;7/10. Furthermore, 82% of our patients reported orgasm after vaginoplasty. Clitoral stimulation emerged as the primary method for achieving sexual arousal post-surgery. Upon asking: “Would you decide to have vaginoplasty again today? ”, 93% patients answered “agreed or totally agreed”.

Clinical implication
Using patient-reported data, these findings highlight the importance of vaginoplasty within multidisciplinary gender transition processes and its efficacy in perceived sexual health.

Limitations
Limitations of this study include reliance on patient-reported outcomes prone to recall bias and the use of non-validated questionnaires.

Conclusion
This study underscores the positive impacts of penile inversion vaginoplasty on sexual health, satisfaction, and functional outcomes, supported by patient-reported data; further studies will be necessary to provide questionnaires validated in transwomen.
