Published: August 2022

Penelitian daya tampung beban pencemar dilakukan pada daerah hulu-tengah dan hilir Sub-DAS Martapura selama periode pengamatan Oktober 2020 – Desember 2021. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan daya tampung beban pencemar Daya Tampung Beban Pencemar pada periode pengamatan Oktober 2020 diketahui bahwa pada parameter pH mempunyai nilai di atas baku mutu -0,8, pada daerah hulu lebih rendah dari baku mutu. Daya Tampung Beban Pencemar pada periode pengamatan April 2021 diketahui bahwa pada parameter PO4 sebesar -0,8, di bagian tengah dan -4,1 di bagian hilir berada di atas baku mutu. Daya Tampung Beban Pencemar pada periode pengamatan Bulan Desember 2021 diketahui bahwa pada parameter pH sebesar -0,6, DO sebesar -6,1 di daerah hulu berada di atas baku mutu, parameter PO4 sebesar -0,05, di bagian tengah berada di atas baku mutu dan parameter PO4 sebesar -0,03 di bagian hilir berada di atas baku mutu. Status mutu perairan dengan menggunakan metode STORET termasuk dalam kategori cemar sedang dengan total skor -20. Penurunan kualitas perairan di sepanjang Sub DAS Martapura disebabkan masukan bahan pencemar dari kegiatan antropogenik (akivitas masyarakat) di sepanjang bantaran sungai berupa Mandi, Cuci dan Kakus, dan kegiatan Keramba Jaring Apung (KJA) di bagian Hulu.

The research on the carrying capacity of the pollutant load was carried out in the upstream-middle and downstream areas of the Martapura Sub-watershed during the observation period from October 2020 to December 2021. The results showed that the carrying capacity of the pollutant load was carried out in the observation period of October 2020, it is known that the pH parameter has a value above the quality standard of -0.8, in the upstream area it is lower than the quality standard. Pollutant Load Carrying Capacity in the observation period of April 2021, it is known that the PO4 parameter is -0.8, in the middle, and -4.1 in the downstream, which is above the quality standard. Pollutant Load Capacity in the observation period in December 2021, it is known that the pH parameter is -0.6, DO is -6.1 in the upstream area which is above the quality standard, the PO4 parameter is -0.05, in the middle it is above the quality standard and the PO4 parameter of -0.03 in the downstream are above the quality standard. The status of water quality using the STORET method is in the moderately polluted category with a total score of -20. The decline in water quality along the Martapura Sub-watershed is caused by the input of pollutants from anthropogenic activities (community activities) along the riverbanks in the form of bathing, washing, toileting, and floating net cages (KJA) activities in upstream.

Abstract
Purpose
African American (AA) men are diagnosed with Prostate cancer (PCa) approximately 3 years younger, more often in an advanced stage, and incurable, when compared to Caucasian American (CA) men. We seek to study whether this difference is due to factors related to, stress, lack of knowledge of prostate cancer, race, or the combination of all these factors.
Methods
A questionnaire was administered to 389 participants (234 CA and 135 AA men) for a possible diagnosis of prostate cancer over 3 years. Quantitative data was collected from patients on demographic status along with their level of knowledge of prostate cancer and anxiety related to their diagnosis and possible treatment. Exact Pearson chi-square tests were used to test the independence between race and various socio-economic factors.
Results
In this study, for the first time, we investigated whether knowledge of the disease and anxiety following diagnosis and treatment could play a role in the disparity of prostate cancer among AA and CA men. We also confirmed that financial disparities among AA and CA men, with AA having more financial strain.
Conclusion
Our study showed that lack of knowledge of PCa screening and early detection, and lack of understanding of the diagnosis in combination with increased anxiety among AA patients, can play a role in PCa disparity.

Abstract
Background:This study aimed to evaluate mortality risk associated with readily accessible laboratory parameters and underlying conditions in hospitalized older adults.Methods:This retrospective study included geriatric patients admitted for inpatient care to the internal medicine wards of two major university hospitals in two different regions of Turkey. Data related to the patients were collected by retrospective review of patient charts and electronic records. Survival data were obtained from the Death Reporting System of the Turkish Ministry of Health. Survival after admission at 30 days and 1 year was noted.Results:The study included 1,465 hospitalized older adults with a median age of 74 years, of whom (51.0%) were women. Of these patients, 115 (7.8%) died within 30 days and 382 (26.1%) died within 12 months. Admission for infectious diseases or palliative support and the presence of malignancy were identified as independent risk factors for both 30-day and 12-month mortality. A 1-unit increase in CCI corresponded to 20% higher odds of both 30-day and 12-month mortality. A 1-unit increase in MPV was associated with 52.5% higher odds of 30-day mortality. A 1-unit increase in CRP was associated with a small but statistically significant 0.6% increase in the odds of 30-day and 12-month mortality.Conclusions:The results of this study show that CCI, CRP, and NLR were associated with higher mortality both at 30 days and 12 months. A 1-unit increase in MPV was associated with 52.5% higher odds of 30-day mortality

Abstract
Background:Computed tomography (CT) derived body composition measurements of sarcopenia are an emerging form of prognostication in many disease processes. Outcomes in advanced rectal cancer treatment are typically dependent on success of using a combination of chemotherapy and surgery. There is growing evidence that body composition determines chemotherapy tolerance and surgical outcomes. Although the L3 vertebral level is commonly used to measure skeletal muscle mass, other studies have suggested the utilisation of other segments may also be appropriate. This study was performed to determine the variation and reproducibility in assessment of skeletal muscle mass at vertebral levels T4, T12 and L3 in pre-operative rectal cancer patients. Research Methods:118 adult patients with stage I – III rectal cancer, undergoing curative resection from 2010 – 2014, were assessed. CT based quantification of skeletal muscle was used to determine skeletal muscle cross sectional area (CSA) and skeletal muscle index (SMI). Agreement between the measurements at L3 with T4 and T12 vertebral levels were evaluated using goodness-of-fit, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and Bland-Altman plots.Results:80 of 118 patients were included in our study. There were 21 (26%) female and 59 (74%) male patients (30-86years, Mean±SD; 63.0 ± 13.0). The correlation between SMI at L3 and SMI at T12 was stronger (r = 0.84, P < .001) than that between SMI at L3 and SMI at T4 (r = 0.80, P < .001). Intraclass correlation coefficient was >0.96 at all levels with agreement being highest at T12 and L3. Conclusions:This study demonstrated that quantifying skeletal muscle mass at the T12 vertebral level is straightforward, reproducible, reliable and comparable to measures achieved at L3 in patients with rectal cancer.

Abstract
The industrial robot bonnet polishing platform can not only meet the requirements of high efficiency and precision of optical polishing, but also reduce the system cost. It is a promising polishing equipment solution. The most practical method to improve BP material removal efficiency is to increase the contact depth. It is generally believed that the profile of the TIF of BP is Gaussian like distribution traditionally, but it is found that it actually changes into M-shape obviously with large contact depth. However, the existing reports on the TIF of bonnet polishing are mostly based on the Gaussian like TIF model which cannot accurately describe the M-shaped TIF. Therefore, according to the material characteristics of inflatable rubber bonnet, this paper establishes a new model to explain the changes of pressure distribution caused by large contact depth. Furthermore, a bonnet polishing approach based on dual- mode contact depth TIFs is proposed in order to improve the removal efficiency in rough polishing stage and increase the convergence accuracy in fine polishing stage.

Abstract
Objective: The Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the largest single provider of spinal cord injury and disorder (SCI/D) care in the nation, currently mandates that every patient receives a screening urinalysis and urine culture during the annual evaluation. This testing has shown in a small subset of patients to overidentify asymptomatic bacteriuria that is then inappropriately treated with antibiotics. The objective of the current analysis was to assess the impact of the annual evaluation on urine testing and antibiotic treatment and unnecessary prescribing in a national sample of Veterans with SCI/D. Design/Method: A retrospective cohort study using national VHA electronic health record data of Veterans with SCI/D seen October 1, 2017-September 30, 2018 (fiscal year (FY) 2018) for their annual evaluation.Results: There were 9447 Veterans with SCI/D who received an AE in FY2018; 5088 (54%) had a urine culture obtained. 2910 cultures (57%) were positive; E. coli was the most common organism obtained (12.9% of total urine cultures). Of the patients with positive urine cultures, 386 were prescribed antibiotics within the 7 days after that encounter (13%); of the patients with negative cultures (n=2178), 121 (6%) were prescribed antibiotics; thus, a positive urine culture was a significant driver of antibiotic use (p <0.001 ). Conclusion: The urine cultures ordered at the annual exam are often followed by antibiotics; this practice may be an important target for antibiotic stewardship programs in SCI.

Abstract
Background: Considering the confinement recommended by the World Health Organization due to the pandemic caused by COVID-19, community physical exercise programs for older adults had their activities cancelled. In this context, proposing strategies to recover possible adverse effects of confinement period are pertinent. The use of self-management strategies associated with regular physical activity reduces the sedentary behavior and improves the physical capacity in older adults. Thus, the purpose of this study was to describe a multicomponent training program combined with self management strategies protocol to mitigate the effects of the physical exercise programs interruption on functionality, physical capacity, mental health, body composition and quality of life in older adults ﻿Methods: This will be a blinded, randomized and controlled clinical trial. Eighty older adults will be divided into two groups: multicomponent training(Multi) and multicomponent training+ self-management strategies(Multi+SM). The intervention will be performed in 16-weeks, on three alternate days of every week, with 50-min sessions. The assessment of physical capacity will be performed before the physical Page 2 of 17 exercise programs interruption (T0- initial assessment-March/2020), pre-intervention (T1- immediately after the exercise program return) and post intervention (T2). The assessments of physical activity level, quality of life, mental health, functionality and body composition will be performed in T1 and T2.Discussion: The results from this MC+SM protocol will allow to contribute with clinical support to evaluate the variables analyzed, and to guide future public health policies, aiming at minimizing the possible deleterious effects arising from the physical exercise interruption periods caused by epidemics and pandemicsTrial registration: Prospectively registered.Registry Name: Use of self-management strategies combined with multicomponent training to mitigate the effects of social distance from COVID-19 on capacity, physical capacity, mental health and quality of life in the older adults - A blind, randomized and controlled clinical trial.Registration Number: RBR-10zs97gkDate of Registration: 17Jun2021URL: https://ensaiosclinicos.gov.br/rg/RBR-10zs97gk

Abstract

Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is an effective and commonly applied clinical treatment for human kidney stones. Yet the success of SWL is counterbalanced by the risk of retained fragments causing recurrent stone formation, which may require retreatment. This study has applied GeoBioMed experimental and analytical approaches to determine the size frequency distribution, fracture patterns, and reactive surface area of SWL-derived particles within the context of their original crystal growth structure (crystalline architecture) as revealed by confocal autofluorescence (CAF) and super-resolution autofluorescence (SRAF) microscopy. Multiple calcium oxalate (CaOx) stones were removed from a Mayo Clinic patient using standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and shock pulse lithotripsy (SPL). This produced approximately 4-12mm-diameter PCNL-derived fragments that were experimentally treated ex vivo with SWL to form hundreds of smaller particles. Fractures propagated through the crystalline architecture of PCNL-derived fragments in a variety of geometric orientations to form rectangular, pointed, concentrically spalled, and irregular SWL-derived particles. Size frequency distributions ranged from fine silt (4-8mm) to very fine pebbles (2-4mm), according to the Wentworth grain size scale, with a mean size of fine sand (125-250mm). Importantly, these SWL-derived particles are smaller than the 3-4mm-diameter detection limit of clinical microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) techniques and can be retained on internal kidney membrane surfaces. This creates clinically undetectable crystallization seed points with extremely high reactive surface areas, which dramatically enhance the multiple events of crystallization and dissolution (diagenetic phase transitions) that may lead to the high rates of CaOx kidney stone recurrence after SWL treatment.
Double-check in lizard age estimation: use of phalanx bone and keratin claw sheath lamellas

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Background
Age estimation in vertebrates has always been a tricky and dubious procedure. The method of skeletochronology is commonly used for age estimation in poikilothermic and in some homoiothermic animals. This method is based on counting arrested growth lines (LAGs) within bone structures (tubule bones or teeth) in modern living or fossil animals. However, it fails to reveal the age with necessary precision due to hibernation and aestivation periods, hence, some referent method of age estimation is required for evaluating better precision. During the previous studies of population age structure in several species of rock lizards (Darevskia) we prepared microscope slides of finger bones and noticed presence of well-distinguished cornified unguis lamellas of the finger claws. We put forward that the number of these lamellas coincides with the number of LAGs in the periosteum bone of the same finger. To test this hypothesis, we performed special study and compared number of LAGs within each finger bone and cornified claw using traditional skeletochronological technique.
Results
The conducted analysis revealed positive correlation (rs=0.933, p < 0.001) and no significant differences between the number of LAGs in the bone and unguis lamellas of the same fingers of three species of Palearctic rock lizards (Darevskia portschinskii, D. raddei, D. valentini). We found no distinguished cornified lamellas in the claw of the tropical skink Sphenomoprhus maculatus.
Conclusion
We assume that the proposed method may be an efficient and reliable means of ecological studies based on toe-clipping and vital age estimation in lizards and, possibly, other poikilothermic vertebrates, as a double-check method based on two independent registration structures present potentially preventing possible mistakes in age estimation.

Abstract
In the present work, we prepared MgO-La2O3-mixed-metal oxides (MMO) as efficient photocatalysts for degradation of organic pollutants. First, a series of MgAl-%La-CO3 layered double hydroxide (LDH) precursors with different content of La (5, 10 and 20 wt%) were synthesized by the co-precipitation process and then calcined at 600°C. The prepared materials were characterized by XRD, SEM-EDX, FTIR, TGA, ICP and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. XRD indicated that MgO, La2O3 and MgAl2O4 phases were found to coexist in the calcined materials. Also, XRD confirms the orthorhombic-tetragonal phases of MgO-La2O3. The samples exhibited a small band gap of 3.0-3.22 eV based on DRS. The photocatalytic activity of the catalysts was assessed for the degradation of two dyes namely Tartrazine (TZ) and Patent Blue (PB) as model organic pollutants in aqueous mediums under UV-Visible light. Detailed photocatalytic tests that focused on the impacts of dopant amount of La, catalyst dose, initial pH of the solution, irradiation time, dye concentration, and reuse were carried out and discussed in this research. The experimental findings reveal that the highest photocatalytic activity was achieved with the MgO-La2O3-10% MMO with photocatalysts with a degradation efficiency of 97.4% and 93.87% for TZ and PB, respectively within 150 min of irradiation. The addition of La to the sample was responsible for its highest photocatalytic activity. Response surface methodology (RSM) and Gradient Boosting Regressor (GBR), as artificial intelligence techniques were employed to assess individual and interactive influences of initial dye concentration, catalyst dose, initial pH and irradiation time on the degradation performance. The GBR technique predicts the degradation efficiency results with R2 = 0.98 for both TZ and PB. Moreover, ANOVA analysis employing CCD-RSM reveals a high agreement between the quadratic model predictions and the experimental results for TZ and PB (R2 = 0.9327 and Adj-R2 = 0.8699, R2 = 0.9574 and Adj-R2 = 0.8704, respectively). Optimization outcomes indicated that maximum degradation efficiency was attained under the optimum conditions: catalyst dose 0.3 g/L, initial dye concentration 20 mg/L, pH 4, and reaction time 150 min. On the whole, this studyconfirms that the proposed artificial intelligence (AI) techniques constituted reliable and robust computer techniques for monitoring and modeling the photodegradation of organic pollutants from aqueous mediums by MgO-La2O3-MMO heterostructure catalysts.
