Abstract. Nugrahanto G, Na’iem M, Indrioko S, Faridah F, Widiyatno, Abdillah E. 2022. Genetic parameters for resin production of Pinus merkusii progeny test collected from three landraces in Banyumas Barat Forest District, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 2010-2016. Pinus merkusii Jungh. et de Vriese is a native pine species in Indonesia that is used in the production of essential and economically valued products, such as wood and resin. The resin productivity can be increased significantly via breeding programs. The objective of this study is to analyze the genetic parameters of resin productivity based on the progeny performance in three landrace seeds sources, namely, Sumedang seedling seed orchards (SSOs), Jember SSO, and East Java seed source. The drilling method was used for tapping trees, and then resin production was measured individually. Additional data on height, diameter, and branch-free height were also collected. Based on family variance component analysis data of resin production, it was noted that Sumedang SSO, Jember SSO, and East Java seed sources have relatively high genetic variations of 4.48%, 15.77%, and 3.80%, respectively. These values were then followed by a moderate family heritability value for all of them (0.451-0.551). A high value of individual heritability estimates was obtained for Jember SSO (0.658), and moderate values were found for Sumedang SSO (0.182) and East Java seed sources (0.158), respectively. The estimated genetic gains were calculated for resin production using selection intensity levels at 10%, 25%, and 50%. The result indicated that the Jember SSO landrace obtained the highest genetic gains at 17.55%, 12.73%, and 7.99%, for the above-mentioned intensity levels, respectively. In contrast, the lowest one was found in the Sumedang SSO landrace.

Abstract. Ramadhan R, Phuwapraisirisan P, Amirta R, Darmawan MFB, Ul-Haq K, Kusuma IW, Suwito H, Abdulgani N, Mukhdlor A, Saparwadi. 2022. The potency of selected ethnomedicinal plants from East Kalimantan, Indonesia as antidiabetic agents and free-radical scavengers. Biodiversitas 23: 2225-2231. Ten ethnomedicinal plant extracts from East Kalimantan flora, traditionally used to treat blood sugar levels and other diabetes-related diseases, were examined in vitro for their antidiabetic and free radical scavenging activities by inhibiting rat alpha-glucosidase and several free radicals such as DPPH, ABTS, and Nitric oxide respectively. Out of the ten plant species investigated for their antidiabetic activity against maltase and sucrase rat alpha-glucosidase, three exhibited the strongest ?-glucosidaseinhibitory activity with maltose as a substrate, namely extracts of Garcinia nervosa, Syzygium caudatilimbum, and Shorea balangeran with IC50 values of 0.046; 0.037; 0.045 mg/mL. Meanwhile, quercetin as a positive control appeared to have a comparable IC50value. Furthermore, among the ten extracts, Syzygium caudatilimbum, Shorea balangeran, and Ixora javanica showed good inhibition against sucrase rat alpha-glucosidase. Moreover, the antioxidant test showed that the ten methanol extracts of plants from East Kalimantan have an antioxidant activity indicated by IC50values. The present study confirms that the ethnopharmacological use of selected plants from East Kalimantan might have potential as an antidiabetic and natural antioxidant.

Coastal areas have an important role and have high natural resources that can be utilized for human life. Over time, the increase in population is directly proportional to the activities and utilization of coastal areas, which puts great pressure on coastal areas. One of the pressures that occur in coastal areas is heavy pollution. This research aims to see the distribution of heavy metals especially Cd, Cu and Pb in the coastal areas of Jakarta Bay and Semarang Bay and to see the differences in heavy metal content from the two gulfs. The data used in this study is secondary data, which consists of data on heavy metals, current velocity, pH and water temperature. The period of data used in this research are from 2016 to 2019, The method used in this study is the GIS method with descriptive analysis. The comparison of concentrations from two bays shows a higher mean of concentration value of heavy metals cadmium (Cd) in Semarang Bay (2016, 2017, 2019) and heavy metals of copper (Cu) in Jakarta Bay (2016 and 2018). Meanwhile, the concentration value of heavy metal lead (Pb) was higher in Jakarta Bay (2016, 2017, 2018), yet in 2019, the two locations have the same concentration value of heavy metal lead (Pb).

Digital storytelling for policy impact: perspectives from co-producing knowledge for food system governance in South Africa
Authors: Adelle Camilla , Black Gillian , Kroll Florian 
Published: April 2022

Background:Post-positivist critics of the linear-rational understanding of the role of knowledge in decision making have long argued the need for the construction of socially robust knowledge to illuminate policy problems from a variety of perspectives, including lived experiences.
Aims and objectives:This article charts the attempts of researchers to employ a creative method, digital storytelling, alongside more traditional scientific data in stakeholder deliberations to inform local food governance in South Africa.
Methods:Four storytellers from a marginalised group created and introduced their digital story about a ‘time when they had to make a difficult choice about what food to purchase or get’ to a public governance forum and the reactions of the audience self-reported.
Findings:The digital stories were emotionally compelling and gave granular detail to the more top-down perspective of the scientific data. There were concerns, however, for the welfare of the storytellers when introducing their stories in the forum.
Discussion and conclusion:Our findings highlight the multi-functionality of digital storytelling as a method of creativity within the process of co-production, not just as a technique to make visible knowledge from marginalised groups, but also as a mechanism (when used and viewed in a wider governance context) to promote knowledge mobilisation and alternative ways of knowing. The use of digital storytelling in these wider governance contexts, or social learning spaces, however, also surfaces ethical and other risks.
Disordered mullite grains in a sapphire-derived fiber for high-temperature sensing

Published: April 2022

In this study, a sapphire-derived fiber (SDF)-based Fabry-Pérot interferometer (FPI) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated as a high-temperature sensor using the arc discharge crystallization process, forming a region with disordered mullite grains. This shows that the disordered mullite grains are related to the gradual temperature distribution during the arc discharge process, which results in a larger refractive index (RI) modulation of the SDF near the fusing area, forming a reflection mirror. An FPI was obtained by combining the optical fiber end facet. Considering the high-temperature resistance of the fiber, the fabricated FPI was used for high-temperature sensing. This shows that the device can operate at temperatures of up to 1200 °C with a sensitivity of 15.47 pm/°C, demonstrating that the proposed devices have potential applications in high-temperature environments.
Effects of community-led total sanitation and hygiene implementation on diarrheal diseases prevention in children less than five years of age in South Western Ethiopia: A quasi- experimental study
Authors: Bushen Gedamu , Merga Hailu , Tessema Fasil 
Published: April 2022

Background
Lack of improved sanitation is the most important contributing factor to diarrheal disease among under-five children in low and middle-income countries. There was no study to identify the effect of Community-Led Total Sanitation and Hygiene intervention on diarrheal diseases in the study area. Hence, this study was designed with the aim of finding the effects of Community-led Total Sanitation and Hygiene implementation for preventing diarrhea among under-five children.

Methods
A community-based Quasi-Experimental study was conducted among a sample of 846 households selected from intervention (kersa) and comparison (mana) districts using the four-stage random cluster-sampling method. A Semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data. The collected data was cleaned, coded, and entered into EpiData version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Difference-in Difference method with McNemar’s tests was used to compare the prevalence of diarrhea between the intervention and comparison districts, and the significance of change between the pre-test and post-test was declared at p-value less than 0.05 with 95% confidence interval.

Results
The intervention led to decreased diarrhea prevalence [pp = -8.2, 95% CI: -15.9, -0.5], increased latrine ownership [pp = 5.6, 95% CI: 0.5, 10.8], and increased latrine utilization [pp = 10.7, 95% CI: 4.7, 16.6] in intervention district at post-test compared to the baseline; while the presence of handwashing facility near the latrine, home-based water treatment, and proper water storage and handling practice were decreased at post-test compared to the baseline.

Conclusion
Implementation of Community-Led Total Sanitation improved sanitation and hygiene status of community that resulted in the reduction of diarrhea diseases in under-five children. Further implementation, evaluation, and scale-up of the interventions are needed to reduce diarrheal disease in under-five children.

Published: April 2022

Introduction
Individuals with special health care needs continue to experience difficulties with accessing regular dental care. This has largely been due to clinicians feeling they lack the training and experience to manage their needs. The aim of this study was to determine whether working closely with specialists in special need dentistry influenced the willingness of clinicians to treat patients with special needs.

Materials and methods
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with specialists and clinicians involved in these mentoring initiatives. Qualitative thematic analysis was used to determine perspectives towards how this additional support influenced their willingness to treat individuals with special needs.

Results
The views of all participants towards these supports were positive with clinicians feeling it not only offered them opportunities to learn from the specialists, but also increased their willingness to treat individuals with special needs and the timeliness and quality of care they were able to provide. Likewise, despite some concerns about the inappropriate use of specialist support, the specialists felt these mentoring relationships offered many benefits including improving timely access to care and ensuring individuals were able to receive appropriate care.

Conclusions
Mentoring provided by specialists in special needs dentistry improved the willingness of clinicians to provide care for individuals with special health care needs. Supports such as these are likely to be crucial to overcoming concerns of clinicians about their ability to manage the needs of these individuals and begin to address a significant barrier to access of care for individuals with special health care needs.

INTRODUCTION:
The use of ustekinumab and vedolizumab as second-line therapies in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) in which tumour necrosis factor alpha inhibitors (TNFi) failed is still debated. The aim of this study was to compare, in a large multicenter observational retrospective cohort, the effectiveness of ustekinumab and vedolizumab as second-line therapies, as assessed by clinical and objective outcomes including endoscopy and gastrointestinal imaging.

METHODS:
Clinical response, remission, and steroid-free remission at weeks 26 and 52 were evaluated in a retrospective propensity score–weighted and propensity score–matched cohort of patients in which TNFi failed. Objective response and remission were evaluated by 1 or more techniques among endoscopy, magnetic resonance/computed tomography enteroclysis, and small bowel ultrasound.

RESULTS:
A total of 470 patients with CD (239 treated with ustekinumab and 231 treated with vedolizumab) were included in the study. At week 26, clinical outcomes were similar between the 2 groups. At week 52, clinical remission (ustekinumab 42.5% vs vedolizumab 55.5%, P = 0.01) and steroid-free remission (ustekinumab 40.6% vs vedolizumab 51.1%, P = 0.038) rates were significantly higher in vedolizumab-treated patients. Three hundred two patients (hundred thirty-five treated with ustekinumab and hundred sixty-seven treated with vedolizumab) had an objective evaluation of disease activity at baseline and week 52. At week 52, objective response and remission rates were similar between the 2 groups. Clinical response at week 26 predicted steroid-free remission at week 52 in both ustekinumab-treated and vedolizumab-treated patients. Safety profiles were similar between the 2 groups.

DISCUSSION:
In patients with CD in which TNFi failed, both ustekinumab and vedolizumab showed similar clinical effectiveness after 26 weeks of treatment. At 1 year, vedolizumab was associated with a higher rate of clinical remission when compared with ustekinumab. However, no difference was observed between the 2 groups when objective outcomes were investigated at this time point.

O vale do Jequitinhonha mineiro foi alvo de políticas públicas para a implantação de monocultivo de eucalipto como forma de "ocupá-lo" e “integrá-lo” como fornecedor de matéria-prima para o complexo siderúrgico. A população rural desta região assistiu atônita à tomada de terras comunais e ao trato dado às veredas pelas monoculturas; associou, depois, o escasseamento crescente de água à dupla expropriação, de terra e de água. Este artigo analisa as alterações nas formas de gestão dos recursos da natureza, sua influência sobre a água e seus efeitos para as comunidades rurais. A metodologia articula técnicas de pesquisa social, espacial e agronômica. Os resultados indicaram que os maciços de eucaliptos influíram na dinâmica da água, secando mananciais, ocasionando insegurança hídrica em localidades, gerando custos ambientas, culturais e socioeconômicos para as comunidades lavradoras, para o poder público e para a sociedade.

Published: April 2022

O texto tem como objetivo analisar criticamente o Desenvolvimento Territorial Rural de forma multidimensional nos territórios de identidade no semiárido cearense, considerando as áreas de assentamentos rurais. Os dados para análise do DR foram obtidos através da pesquisa de campo, tendo como espaço amostral 06 (seis) assentamentos localizados em 05 (cinco) territórios de identidade. O índice encontrado para o semiárido cearense foi de 0,5163. Considerando que o índice varia de “zero” a “um”, este apresentou uma situação mediana ou intermediária, indicando que as ações permaneceram mais no nível emergencial, não se consolidando como política de longo prazo, impedindo, assim, o alcance de um efetivo desenvolvimento sustentável. Os indicadores que mais contribuíram positivamente para o nível de desenvolvimento foram os ambientais e político/organizacional, e os indicadores que contribuíram negativamente para o nível de desenvolvimento foram os econômicos e sociais.

The possibilities of cinema in humanities teaching
Abstract: Traditionally used as an illustration and sensitization of curriculum content, we propose in this article another way of using cinema as a didactic resource in humanities education. At first, we criticize the most common practices, raising the issue of whether cinema really thinks with them. In a second moment, based on the conception proposed by Gilles Deleuze, we propose to face cinema as the instigator of mental processes through its framing, decoupage and editing techniques. We compare Deleuze's proposal with Julio Cabrera's to critically analyze the relationship between thought and cinema. We theoretically discuss this distinction and also present possible didactic practices related to both procedures. The article seeks to reflect on both theories and possible practices in the relationship between thought and cinema.

Temporary Basic Income in Times of Pandemic: Rationale, Costs and Poverty-Mitigation Potential
Authors: Gray Molina George , Montoya-Aguirre María , Ortiz-Juarez Eduardo 
Published: April 2022

AbstractThe pandemic has exposed the costs of job and income losses. Emergency cash transfers can mitigate the worst immediate effects on people who lack access to safety nets. This research note provides estimates for a potential Temporary Basic Income (TBI) for poor and near-poor people across 132 developing countries, as well as the minimum cost of income support sufficient to mitigate the pandemic-induced poverty increase. The total monthly cost of the TBI ranges 0.27–0.63% of developing countries’ combined GDP, depending on the choice: (i) top-ups on each country’s average incomes up to a vulnerability threshold; (ii) transfers based on each country’s median standard of living; or (iii) uniform transfers. This note argues that some form of TBI is within reach and can inform a larger conversation about how to build comprehensive social protection systems that make the poor and near-poor more resilient to economic downturns in the future.
Distal femoral fractures in children
Authors: Sepúlveda Matías , Téllez Cecilia , Villablanca Víctor , Birrer Estefanía 
Published: April 2022

The physis of the distal femur contributes to 70% of femoral growth and 37% of the total limb growth; therefore, physeal injury can lead to important alterations of axes and length.
Distal metaphyseal corner-type fracture prior to walking is classically associated with child abuse. In children aged >10 years, sports-related fractures and car accidents are significant contributors.
Imaging includes a two-plane radiographic study of the knee. It is recommended to obtain radiographs that include the entire femur to rule out concomitant injuries. In cases of high suspicion of distal metaphyseal fractures and no radiographic evidence, CT or MRI can show the existence of hidden fractures.
Fractures with physeal involvement are conventionally classified according to the Salter–Harris classification, but the Peterson classification is also recommended as it includes special subgroups.
Conservative and surgical management are valid alternatives for the treatment of these fractures. Choosing between both alternatives depends on factors related to the fracture type.
As there is a high risk of permanent physeal damage, long-term follow-up is essential until skeletal maturity is complete.
