The evaluation of agroforestry development in marginal land area of Gunungkidul, Indonesia
Authors: Widiyanto A , Fauziyah E , Suhartono  
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Forests are expected to provide social and economic benefits to the community, in addition to the ecological benefits. The production forest in Gunungkidul which is managed by the Yogyakarta Forest Management Unit (FMU) is dominated by teak (Tectona grandis) and cajuput (Melaleuca cajuput) as the main crop. Gunungkidul is dominated by marginal land with low nutrients, low pH, and low organic matter. Agroforestry is known as a promising option in land use systems considering multi-strata canopy combinations and multi-products. This study aimed to compare two types of agroforestry with two main crops; teak and cajuput tree concerning cultivation, economy, and social benefits. The method used was in-depth interviews with the forest community and FMU Yogyakarta. The number of respondents was 60 forest farmers, from which 30 farmers each for the two agroforestry patterns, and the staff of FMU Yogyakarta consisted of 2 people from the management staff and 2 people from the field staff. The main data were forest farmer activities in state forests, including income and expenses during cultivation. In addition, the data includes perceptions and data regarding the advantages of the community forests (CF) program from the aspects of the economy, social (preference), and cultivation. The results showed that economically, cajuput tree-based agroforestry activities contributed more income than teak-based agroforestry. In the cultivation aspect, farmers prefer cajuput stands because they have wider open land. Likewise, FMU considers cajuput tree cultivation easier and the risk of theft (i.e. illegal cutting) smaller. However, teak agroforestry is more environmentally friendly than cajuput, for example, teak litter can be a source of natural organic fertilizer. Therefore, it is necessary to find a technical solution to deal with this difference of interests to secure the success of agroforestry implementation such as suitable spacing, the combination of cropping patterns, and intensive cultivation.

Abstract

Vatica venulosa is a threatened tree from the family Dipterocarpaceae. Due to degradation and conversion of its habitat in lowland riparian forests, this species is classified as Critically Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. We carried out surveys for V. venulosa in Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan, to depict the current population status of the species in the region. We surveyed 14 forested areas along Belayan River in Kutai Kartanegara. From these 14 locations, we only successfully identified V. venulosa at one location, namely in Long Beleh Village, Kembang Janggut District. A total of 71 individuals of which 84.5% classified in the 0-5 cm diameter class, were found. We also found nine individuals in the mature stage, i.e., producing flowers and fruits. The main threat to V. venulosa is habitat conversion into large-scale oil palm plantations. Protection of the forest fragment in Long Beleh is highly recommended in order to protect the species from local extinction.

Abstract
Shrimp farming is an aquaculture activity with complex environmental and social issues that must be solved in cooperation with relevant stakeholders. This study aims to review the concept of multi-stakeholder partnership in the context of shrimp farming. In this study, a qualitative literature review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyse (PRISMA) framework within the scientific literature. Based on the defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 4 of 17 studies published between 2010 and 2020 were selected to review further, referring to the concept of multi-stakeholder partnership in aquaculture, taking into account social-ecological system framework management. Our review revealed that multi-stakeholder partnerships allegedly become the problem solver since the complex problem can be neither understood nor addressed by only a single organization or actor involved in shrimp farming. Multi-stakeholder partnership, in which government – business – public (including farmers) are involved, will have an essential meaning in solving complex problems in shrimp farming through sharing in planning, decision making, and activities goals among them.
The impact of drying time and storage room on the viability of trema (Trema orientalis Linn. Blume) seed
Authors: Nugraheni Y M M A , Yuniarti N 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
During drying and storage, trema seeds undergo a process of seed deterioration. Seed deterioration is a decrease in the quality of seed viability which can cause overall changes in the seed, both physiologically and chemically. The aim of this research was to analyze the impact of drying time and storage technique on the deterioration of trema seed, both physiological and chemical, and to get the best (optimum) drying time and storage technique for trema seeds. The experimental design used in this research was completely randomized with 2 factors, namely: the drying time factor (0, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120 hours) and the storage technique factor (room temperature, refrigerator, and air conditioner). The results showed that the drying time and storage technique had a significant impact on the moisture content, germination percentage, germination speed, and biochemical content (fat, carbohydrate, protein) both before and after storage. Besides that, seed drying time had an effect on the physiological and biochemical properties of trema seed at various levels of drying time and storage technique (the declining value of water and germination, increased levels of fat, decreased levels of protein and carbohydrates). In addition, seeds that were stored in an air conditioner are more viable.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Peatlands are acidic with low fertility. Conversely, shallow peat can become a food source for local communities, thus requiring soil amendment to improve productivity and sustainable use. One of the ways is by applying bionanomaterials (BNMs) derived from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) and oil palm trunk (OPT) as well as Shorea balangeran compost as an indigenous shallow peat species. This study aims to analyze the effect of BNMs on rice germination in a laboratory (in vitro) and rice growth in the greenhouse (in vivo). The experimental design used a completely random design of 2 factors, namely rice varieties and BNMs (activated, non-activated OPEFB, OPT lignocellulose, and non-activated OPT, respectively, at doses of 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%) (in vitro) as well as rice varieties and ameliorant (BNMs, compost) (in vivo). The results showed that BNMs affected average sprout height and germination rates on a laboratory scale. BNMs derived from an activated OPEFB rate of 5% produce the highest percentage of plant life (49.2%) (in vivo). Meanwhile, S. balangeran compost affects the percent of plant life (45.8%). The combination of BNMs and compost application can be applied to peat rice to increase productivity and maintain peatlands’ fertility.

Abstract
The possibility of almost linear tuning of the band gap and of the electrical and optical properties in monolayers (MLs) of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide (S-TMD) alloys opens up the way to fabricate materials with on-demand characteristics. By making use of photoluminescence spectroscopy, we investigate optical properties of WSSe MLs with a S/Se ratio of 57/43 deposited on SiO2/Si substrate and encapsulated in hexagonal BN flakes. Similarly to the ‘parent’ WS2 and WSe2 MLs, we assign the WSSe MLs to the ML family with the dark ground exciton state. We find that, in addition to the neutral bright A exciton line, three observed emission lines are associated with negatively charged excitons. The application of in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic fields allows us to assign undeniably the bright and dark (spin- and momentum-forbidden) negative trions as well as the phonon replica of the dark spin-forbidden complex. Furthermore, the existence of the single photon emitters in the WSSe ML is also demonstrated, thus prompting the opportunity to enlarge the wavelength range for potential future quantum applications of S-TMDs.
Electricity access in Uganda’s slums: multi-stakeholder perspectives from Kampala

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Uganda’s rapid urbanisation poses service delivery challenges, particularly to the poorest neighbourhoods which are home to over half of the urban population. Only 63% of urban households have access to grid-electricity, and access deficits are most felt in slums despite their proximity to the grid. This study investigated the electricity access challenge in Uganda’s slums and the socio-political issues that shape access, from the perspective of multiple stakeholders. Using mixed methods, eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with key stakeholders and surveys (N = 35) conducted in Nakulabye slum, Kampala. The supply-side barriers identified were low consumption loads in households which makes electricity provision financially unviable for the utility, insecure land tenure and inadequate housing which present practical and safety barriers. High costs and tariffs constrain access, as does poor quality and unreliable supply, and inadequate infrastructure. Regardless, households use electricity beyond simply lighting and phone charging, and a variety of businesses in the slum rely on electricity. The interviews revealed tensions in the priorities of different stakeholder groups, with the regulator striving to balance the interests of the utility, policymakers, and end-users. Wider issues emerged as the politicization of service delivery, limited data and capacity of city councils, and influences from external actors and events. Understanding local contexts is crucial, because prevailing policy regimes and socio-political environments either stifle or foster electricity access for low-income groups. The energy injustices and access deficits were acknowledged by all respondents, but there were differences in opinion regarding the root causes of the challenge, which could have negative implications for solution-finding efforts. Generally, the extent of the challenges faced is unknown outside the slum communities, and future work could explore the lived experiences of electricity access, to inform equitable electricity provision.
Constructing hierarchical porous structure in microsized silicon/carbon nanotubes composite anode with LiF-rich solid-electrolyte interfaces for highly stable lithium-ion batteries

Published: December 2022

AbstractLithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with silicon microparticle anodes provide a high capacity, low cost, low environmental impact, and ease of production. However, the rapid capacity degradation and low Coulombic efficiency (CE) are impediments to their further development and commercialization, which are mainly caused by large volume variation and unstable solid–electrolyte interface (SEI) of silicon. To break this bottleneck, here, we demonstrate that designing silicon microparticles with nanoporous structure (PSi) and confining the PSi in the carbon nanotube (CNT) segregated network can effectively suppress the volume expansion of silicon, enabling the fabrication of high-performance electrodes. The rate capability and cycling performance of the electrode are further improved by creating a hierarchical open porous structure for the PSi-CNT composite anodes via freeze drying. In addition, the mixTHF electrolyte was employed to get a thin and uniform SEI, which can reduce the breakage of SEI during cycling and improve the CE and stability of the LIBs. As a result, the PSi-CNT composite anode delivers a high specific capacity of 3210.1 mAh g−1at 1/15 °C rate and an initial Coulombic efficiency of 87.3%. After 100 cycles, the capacity could be maintained at over 2000 mAh g−1with 99.5% CE. In addition, hierarchical porous structured PSi-CNT composites exhibit excellent rate performance, the specific capacity could reach 2264.5 mAh g−1at 5 °C rate. The work suggests several effective solutions that could be used to facilitate the future commercialization of silicon anodes.

AbstractObjectivesThe definition of work-related Asthma (WRA) has changed in recent years and new etiologies and agents have been identified. The aim of this study is to describe the main causal agents of WRA in France in the period 2001–2018 in the main work sectors.MethodsData were collected from the French national network of occupational health surveillance and prevention [Réseau National de Vigilance et de Prévention des Pathologies Professionnelles (RNV3P)], Data between 2001 and 2018 with at least a probable or certain association with one occupational agent, were included.ResultsWork sectors with more cases OF WRA included personal service activities (10.6%), food industry (10.2%) and healthcare activities (7.6%). WRA cases were most frequently related to flour (10%), quaternary ammoniums compounds (5.3%), isocyanates (5.1%) and cleaning products (4.8%).ConclusionOccupational exposure to specific agents capable of causing WRA is still present, and four agents represent more than 25% of the cases. Actions to prevent respiratory exposure are still relevant.

Abstract

Background
Image-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) of the tumour bed, performed after neoadjuvant therapy, is increasingly being used to assess residual cancer and to potentially identify to identify pathological complete response (pCR). In this study, the accuracy of preoperative VABB specimens was assessed and compared with surgical specimens in patients with triple-negative or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive invasive ductal breast cancer after neoadjuvant therapy. As a secondary endpoint, the performance of contrast-enhanced MRI of the breast and PET–CT for response prediction was assessed.

Methods
This single-institution prospective pilot study enrolled patients from April 2018 to April 2021 with a complete response on imaging (iCR) who subsequently underwent VABB before surgery. Those with a pCR at VABB were included in the primary analysis of the accuracy of VABB. The performance of imaging (MRI and PET–CT) was analysed for prediction of a pCR considering both patients with an iCR and those with residual disease at postneoadjuvant therapy imaging.

Results
Twenty patients were included in the primary analysis. The median age was 44 (range 35–51) years. At surgery, 18 of 20 patients showed a complete response (accuracy 90 (95 per cent exact c.i. 68 to 99) per cent). Only two patients showed residual ductal intraepithelial neoplasia of grade 2 and 3 respectively. In the secondary analysis, accuracy was similar for MRI and PET–CT (77 versus 78 per cent; P = 0.76).

Conclusion
VABB in patients with an iCR might be a promising method to select patients for de-escalation of surgical treatment in triple-negative or HER2-positive breast cancer. The present results support such an approach and should inform the design of future trials on de-escalation of surgery.
BS O01 Closure of mesenteric defects during laparoscopic roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery and its effect on internal hernia rates and small bowel obstruction: A Meta- Analysis

Published: December 2022

Abstract

Background
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is an important treatment for obesity and it's related diseases, however internal herniation and small bowel obstruction from mesenteric defects can lead to reoperation in 10–16% of patients. This can be early (&lt;30 days) or late. Routine closure of meso-jejunal defecfs and/or Petersens defect is still not adopted worldwide.
Our objective was to systematically review and analyse pooled data from all studies, evaluating the impact of routine closure of mesenteric defects on the incidence of internal hernia in laparoscopic antecolic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery for obesity. Secondary endpoints for analysis included the incidence of early and late small bowel obstruction (SBO), need for reoperation, bleeding, anastomotic leak, marginal ulceration and weight loss.

Methods
Ovid, MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane databases were searched on 13 September 2021 using a combination of MeSH and non-MeSH terms, including ‘gastric bypass’, ‘mesenteric defect’, ‘hernia’, and ‘small bowel obstruction’. Studies comparing closure with non-closure of mesenteric defects were included. Two researchers independently examined titles, then abstracts, and finally, full text articles. Disagreements were arbitrated with the senior author.
Fixed- or random-effect models were used, as appropriate. Results have been reported with 95% confidence intervals and I-squared indices to assess uniformity among results for each outcome measured.

Results
Seventeen studies met the criteria and were included, including two randomised trials. A total of 61,220 patients were included with follow-up ranging from 24–120 months. In the closure group the incidence of all types of internal hernia was lower (OR 0.22, 95% CI 0.19, 0.26), SBO beyond 30 days was less frequent (OR 0.47, 95% CI 0.44,0.52), and the reoperation rate was lower (OR 0.22, 95% CI 0.19,0.26). The incidence of SBO within 30 days was higher in the closure group (OR 1.34, CI 1.07,1.68).

Conclusions
This new pooled analysis updates previous meta-analyses, adding data from eight additional studies and almost 45,000 additional patients. This provides firm evidence that routine closure of mesenteric defects during laparoscopic gastric bypass reduces rates of internal herniation and SBO beyond the post-operative period. Closure of the mesenteric defects should be standard practice in RYGB. A higher incidence of early SBO was notable in the closure group, postulated by some studies as attributable to technical factors, including kinking of the jejunal anastomosis and bleeding. This must be considered when closing defects.

Abstract

Background
Fast track surgery is well established in major centres undertaking bariatric surgery

Methods
All patients who underwent bariatric surgery in a high volume centre were included. Patient outcomes in terms of complication rates, length of stay, one day discharge rate and 30 day readmission rate were analysed.

Results
1009 patients (105 gastric band removal, 756 gastric bypass, 104 sleeve gastrectomy and 44 revision surgery) were included in the study. Demographics include: Age 46(20–77), M:F = 190–819; BMI – 44.3 (20.6–62); Wt. – 120.3 Kg (57.4–190.7). Median length of stay was 1.7 (1–23) with 79% 1 day discharge. 19 patients had complications (1.8%) with no mortality. Logistic regression analysis revealed that presence of co-morbidities (OR = 1.92; 95% CI: 1.26–2.94; p=0.002) and history of previous abdominal surgery (OR = 2.22; 95% CI: 1.27–3.89; p = 0.005) increases risk of delayed discharge. The 30 day readmission rate was significantly higher in patients who had concomitant surgery in addition to primary bariatric surgery (Chi squared test p=0.032) and patients who failed the fast track protocol (p-0.000; chi squared = 13.2)

Conclusions
Increased understanding of factors which can be optimised may result in even better outcomes in fast track bariatric surgery.
OGC O05 Does Minimally Invasive Transthoracic Esophagectomy Reduce Postoperative Pulmonary Complications? An International Cohort Study from the Oesophagogastric Anastomosis Audit (OGAA)
Authors:   Oesophagogastric Anastomosis Audit Collaborative, Kamarajah Sivesh 
Published: December 2022

Abstract

Background
Ongoing debate exists around optimum surgical approach to esophageal cancers, with limited data characterizing the external validity of randomised trials on MIE for esophageal cancers. This study aimed to report the postoperative pulmonary outcomes of transthoracic minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) in esophageal cancers patients from an international, multicenter cohort.

Methods
Patients undergoing open (OE, n=744), hybrid (HE, n=500), and totally MIE (TMIE, n=540) for esophageal cancers were identified from the Oesophagogastric Anastomosis Audit (OGAA).

Results
PPC rates were lower after MIE compared to OE and HE (31% vs 38% vs 39%, p=0.002), even on adjusted analyses compared to OE (odds ratio (OR): 0.57, CI95%: 0.44–0.74). MIE was associated with higher rates of AL (16% vs 11% vs. 11%, p=0.026), but not overall complications (60% vs 65% vs. 62%, p=0.2) and 90-day mortality compared to OE and HE (3% vs 4% vs. 3%, p=0.6). On adjusted analyses, MIE was associated with lower overall complications (OR: 0.67, CI95%: 0.51–0.87), but not AL (OR: 1.39, CI95%: 0.96–2.01) and 90-day mortality (OR: 0.49, CI95%: 0.22–1.04) compared to OE.

Conclusions
In contrast to previous reports, this study provides real-world data that TMIE was associated with lower 90-day PPC 90- than OE and HE, especially in patients with higher ASA grades and underlying respiratory disease. These warrant a further review into causes and mechanisms in selected patients, and that quality assurance in delivery of TMIE is probably of major importance. Finally, the proxies of oncologic impact, such as R0 rates and extend of lymphadenectomy, are superior with the TMIE approach. The ideal surgical approach remains unclear, and may be context dependent, and ongoing trials such as ROBOT-II will provide a large body of randomized data within a few years that may clarify the optimum approach to locally advanced esophageal cancers.
