Published: June 2022

Background: Osteoarthritis is a long-term, chronic disease that is usually marked by cartilage degeneration in the joints, which in turn induces bone friction. One of the subtype of this disease is facet joint osteoarthritis or in short, FJOA. In Indonesia, FJOA has not been commonly documented. The most common method for FJOA inspection is X-Ray modality. The usage of other radiology imaging, such as CT-Scan or MRI, are also used to evaluate erosion, osteophyte creation, subchondral sclerosis, and joint constriction. Nevertheless, the most ideal FJOA inspection method is still an ongoing debate due to strengths and weaknesses of each methods. CT scans are more widely used than MRIs and are typically less expensive. MRIs, however, are thought to be superior in regards to the detail of the image. Objective: To understand the effect of age, sex, and spinal level towards FJOA on MRI scanning. Method: This research used cross-sectional approach. Sample taken in this research were all radiology results from patients that fulfills inclusion criteria and had gone through MRI inspection in Jatinegara Premier Hospital. Age, sex, disk degeneration degree, and spinal level are the main focus for this study since those are the most common risk factor for FJOA. Results: 46.8% of FJOA were found in male patients while the other 53.2% were found in females. L4-5 and Grade 1 FJOA had the highest incidence found, with the amount of 29% and 48.4% respectively. There was no correlation between sex and FJOA degree based on Asymp. Sig of 0.255. There was also no correlation between age and FJOA degree based on Asymp. Sig of 0.702. However, there was a correlation between spinal level and disk degeneration degree with FJOA degree due to Asymp. Sig <0.05. Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between age and sex to lumbar facet joint osteoarthritis and there was a significant relationship between spinal level and disk degeneration degree with lumbar facet joint osteoarthritis.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative movement disorder characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms due to loss of striatal dopaminergic neurons and disruption of degradation signaling leading to the formation of Lewy bodies (aggregation of α-synuclein). Presently, there are no disease modifying therapy for PD despite improvement in the understanding of the disease pathogenesis. However, the drugs currently used in PD management provide symptomatic relieve for motor symptoms without significant improvement in non-motor complications, thus, a public health burden on caregivers and healthcare systems. There is therefore the need to discover disease modifying therapy with strong potential to halt the disease progression. Recent trend has shown that the dysfunction of lysosomal-autophagy pathway is highly implicated in PD pathology, hence, making autophagy a key player owing to its involvement in degradation and clearance of misfolded α-synuclein (a major hallmark in PD pathology). In this review, we described the current drugs/strategy in the management of PD including targeting the autophagy pathway as a novel approach that could serve as potential intervention for PD management. The discovery of small molecules or natural products capable of enhancing autophagy mechanism could be a promising strategy for PD treatment.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Shale rock formed from small clay particles, and shale compaction is an essential factor to estimate shale reserves. The classical Athy’s model has been used to obtain the shale compaction curve to describe the relationship between porosity and depth, an essential input data for basin modelling. But recent studies revealed that burial time, among other factors, should be considered and that geological age is another important factor in some regions. This is because geological and lithological histories are crucially different among geological ages. This study employed the newest data of Thailand shales and confirmed that different geological ages (Cenozoic, Mesozoic, and Paleozoic ages) require different shale compaction curves by estimating numerical geological time with the relationship of velocity and depth in each geological age. We obtained empirical models of the shale compaction curve of each geological age by multi-linear regression. The standard curve of shale compaction with the relationship among porosity, depth, and time, proposed in a previous study, was also re-affirmed with the newly obtained models.
Chinese Cultural Spirit: The Expression of Values in Chinese Films
Authors: Wang Haizhou , Yuan Yaxuan 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
One of the particular characteristics of Chinese films is that they are based on the unique sources of Chinese cultural thought. This article examines the main spiritual ideas of traditional Chinese culture through the lens of the three relationships between heaven and man, humans and other humans, and man and himself. It explores how Chinese films made in different cultural contexts and historical backgrounds have expressed the spirit of Chinese culture through both inheritance and transformation. We approach this issue by focusing on expressions of the traditional concepts of “the unity of man and heaven,” “vigor and promise,” “balanced harmony and the golden mean,” and “the unity of body and mind.”

Published: June 2022

Abstract
NK cells-based cancer therapy combined with chemotherapeutic drugs for the treatment of tumors can enhance the immunosensitivity of NK cells, increase the expression of NK cell receptors, and eventually boost the killing effect of NK cells on cancer cells. Selenium (Se) with different chemical structures can be metabolized into selenoproteins to regulate tumor and immune cells’ fate and functions. Herein, we found that, functionalized Se nanoparticles (SeNPs) combining with metformin (met) could amply the immunotherapeutic effects of NK92 cells against osteosarcoma cancer. The results revealed that TW80-SeNPs combined with met had the optimum performance on NK92 cells for HepG2 cells, owing to the increased ROS in HepG2 cells and the augmented expression of cell surface receptor proteins ULBP-3/4, PD-L1, MICA, and NK92 cell surface receptor proteins PD-1 and FasL. Additionally, TW80-SeNPs were gradually metabolized into selenoproteins (Gpx4 and TR1) into human osteosarcoma MG63 cells to reinforce the anticancer effect of NK92 cells by regulating the redox balance in the tumor microenvironment. This study provides a therapeutic approach in treating cancer itself or diabetes coupled with cancer. Moreover, it provides a multidrug strategy to improve immune cell function in practical applications, especially for synergistic immunotherapy of osteosarcoma.
Modeling a continuous digester extraction screen zone with an approximated flow model
Authors: Gilbert Wesley , Allison Bruce 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Phenomenological continuous digester models are normally limited to axial flow. However, under industrial conditions, liquor also flows radially in extraction zones. While multidimensional expansion using computation fluid dynamics is possible, the increase in mathematically complexity and computation burden is intractable for online control and optimization. In this work, an approximate algebraic flow model is proposed which removes the need to evaluate momentum continuity. The model, based on streamlines, superimposes radial and axial flow profiles. The dynamic response, when compared against a single continuous stirred tank model, was found to better predict the process response during industrial trials. Simulation studies suggest enhanced lignin removal and variability reductions are possible by increasing recirculated liquor flow rates in the zone, a result of flattening the radial chemical and temperature profiles in the chip phase. However, a minimum occurs as chemical and energy losses in the extracted flow leaving the zone take precedence.

Abstract
With the rapid development of economy, the demand for energy is increasing rapidly. And the output and processing amount of vacuum residue oil are also increasing year by year. The processing of vacuum residue oil is always a difficult problem in petrochemical industry. The high viscosity is the significant characteristic of vacuum residue oil. It is easy to cause serious influence in residue oil processing, such as reactor blockage. With the development of ultrasonic technology, ultrasonic viscosity reduction has become the focus of research. Its potential role in petrochemical industry has attracted more and more attention. Ultrasonic viscosity reducing vacuum residue oil is a new viscosity reducing process. Compared with the traditional viscosity reduction method, it has good viscosity reduction effect. The research progress of ultrasonic viscosity reducing vacuum residue oil is reviewed. In this paper, the mechanism of ultrasonic action, physical and chemical effects, ultrasonic viscosity reduction treatment conditions, viscosity reduction residue oil system influence and viscosity recovery, ultrasonic sound field simulation are reviewed and analyzed. In addition, ultrasound has a synergistic effect. Ultrasonic synergistic physicochemical methods (microwave; hydrogen donor) also has remarkable effects. Ultrasonic treatment technology is adopted on the basis of traditional microwave viscosity reduction and residue oil hydrogenation donor. This kind of ultrasonic collaborative method has excellent application prospect. But there are problems with this technology. The research direction of ultrasonic viscosity reduction residue oil in the future is also suggested. It can provide reference for related research.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Bismuth chloride oxide (BiOCl) is a typical V-VI-VII ternary oxide material, which is one of the widely studied metal oxides due to its unique surface, electronic and photocatalytic properties. However, the broad bandgap and the large number of photogenerated electron-hole pair complexes of BiOCl limit its photocatalytic efficiency. Since the photocatalytic performance of BiOCl is highly dependent on its exposed crystallographic facets, research attention has increasingly focused on the different structures and properties possessed by different crystallographic facets of BiOCl. This article reviews the basic principles of using different crystalline surfaces of BiOCl materials to enhance photocatalytic activity, summarizes the applications of BiOCl single-crystal catalysts and composite catalysts in the environmental field, and provides an outlook on the challenges and new research directions for future development in this emerging frontier area. It is hoped that the crystalline surface-related photocatalysis of BiOCl can be used to provide new guidance for the rational design of novel catalysts for various energy and environment-related applications.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
As the aerospace industry develops, there is a need for applying new materials and construction techniques, able to create lighter and more efficient aircrafts. Most advances also imply severe regulations that require novel methods suited to monitor critical components. One method that goes beyond simple nondestructive testing is structural health monitoring (SHM), more specifically Lamb waves (LW)-based SHM. Indeed, LW have shown great promise in nondestructive in-situ testing, but require computationally expensive calculations, so that precise results can be obtained. An opportunity to overcome LW drawbacks arises with the use of machine learning (ML) algorithms. In this article, the performance of conventional feedforward and convolutional artificial neural networks for damage classification in aluminum sheets is compared, and a novel methodology to classify damage is proposed. The ML techniques adopted require large sets of prior data, which are generated by numerical simulations utilizing the finite element method. The damage classification pipeline comprises (i) generating LW by one actuator, measuring the structure response using a set of sensors, (iii) extracting features from the raw signals and training the ML algorithms, and (iv) assessing the classification accuracy. The methodology has the advantage of being baseline free, easily extendable for automatic feature extraction and testing, and adaptable to different types of damage and structures, as long as the algorithms are trained with suitable data.

Abstract
High strength, extended fatigue life, and improvement in rutting resistance are the main advantages of using high modulus asphalt concrete as a base course material in the pavement structure. The primary goal of this paper was to investigate the performance properties of the high modulus base course using different asphaltenes-modified binders. A crude oil binder and two different asphalt binders from Alberta oil sands sources were used to prepare the mixtures. To prepare hard-grade asphalt binders, all binders were modified using asphaltenes, a waste byproduct of the deasphalting of Alberta oil sands. The performance grades of the modified and unmodified binders were determined, and a mix design was developed for the high modulus asphalt concrete mixes. To evaluate the performance properties of high modulus asphalt concrete mixes composed of unmodified and asphaltenes-modified binders, Hamburg wheel tracking, dynamic modulus and flow number, and indirect tensile strength at low temperature were conducted. The high-temperature performance test results, including Hamburg wheel tracking and flow number tests, indicated that asphaltenes-modified mixtures show higher resistance to permanent deformation. However, the indirect tensile strength test results at low temperature showed higher tensile strength and lower fracture energy for the asphaltenes-modified mixtures compared with the unmodified samples. Moreover, according to the dynamic modulus test results, the asphaltenes-modified mixtures exhibited higher modulus values (stiffness) than the unmodified samples at different loading frequencies compared with the unmodified samples.
