Authors: Aminin Riza Millatul , Hasanuddin Akhmad , Koesoemawati Dewi Junita 
Published: September 2022

Split Mastic Asphalt (SMA) mixture is mostly used on heavy traffic roads. SMA mixture has high percentage of coarse aggregate, it is better able to withstand deformation due to heavy vehicles, and consist of high levels of asphalt, that makes the mixture more durable. High levels of asphalt in SMA require an additive as fiber, polymer, filler, and PET which functions to stabilize and increase the strength of the mixture. This study to determine the performance of the Split Mastic Asphalt mixture by adding kapuk fiber as an additive. The method used is a quantitative comparison of the marshall SMA test results without the addition of additives and the SMA mixture with the addition of cotton fiber as an additive. The variation of cotton fiber content used in the mixture is 0.01%, 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.075% and 0.1% of weight mixture. Based on the results of the study the addition of cotton fiber to the mixture can improve Marshall performance in terms of strength, density, and durability of the mixture. The strength of the mixture with the addition of cotton fiber will increase to the optimum limit, which is 0.075% cotton fiber. The density of the mixture (density) with the addition of cotton fiber will increase. Durability based on flow and MQ values decreased, but increased again at high cotton fiber levels, which is 0.1%

Agricultural Trade Liberalization Reforms: Effects on Indian Agriculture and Agricultural Marketing Institutions
Authors: Dastagiri Madiga Bala 
Published: September 2022

Worldwide, Governments have recognized the importance of liberalizing agriculture. The heart of the agriculture reforms lies in the â€˜market placeâ€™. This is basically a quick, diagnostic study illustrates firstly, the effects of WTO agreements and trade liberalization on Indian agriculture. Secondly, the effects of these reforms on mandates and functions of agricultural marketing institutions vis-Ã -vis the reforms and reorientation on happening in them in the context of trade liberalization regime in India. WTO agreements have mixed effects on agriculture of developing countries. Economic liberalization/ trade liberalization effects on Indian agriculture suggest that finance to agriculture by private sector has increased significantly. Production of food grains, non-food grains and all crops depicted a declining trend. Supply growth remains higher than growth in demand of cereals, fruits, vegetables except pulses and oilseeds. Marketed surplus and procurement prices of major staple cereals viz; paddy and wheat has shown an increasing trend. Aggregate measure of support (AMS) has decreased. Thus agricultural sector is now less protected and face stiff competition and higher price risks. Most of the functions of different agricultural marketing institutions relate to market regulation, development of infrastructure and administered prices are overlapping. The reforms in major areas of agricultural marketing sector at country level are matching with WTO liberalization requirements particularly in domestic markets, export and import, regulated markets, SPS measures and TRIPS. Some of the typical informal liberalized model markets such as alternative markets are already in operation. But some marketing institutions have been proactive in initiating reforms and marching towards commercialization

Abstract
Survival of living being in the universe depends upon the nature created ecosystem for foods, nutrition’s and medicines from the past several decades. Most consumable natural gifts are plant and herbs as foods and medicines for both human and animals. The affect of heavy metal contamination in plants and herbs cannot be underestimated as they are being used as major foodstuff. In the current study, we have quantitatively determined the five different heavy metals including lead, mercury, cadmium, nickel and copper in 13 selective herbal species which are commonly used for the formulation of herbal and food product as well as in culinary and cosmetic purpose. The conventional wet acid digestion method was used for sample dissolution and the heavy metals were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. As result of this study we have obtained the various level of concentrations of specific heavy metals in the rage of 0.98­-2.39, 2.25-3.75, 0.42-1.17, 0.87-2.39, and 2.03-4.96 for Pb, Hg, Cd, Ni, and Cu respectively and we also compared the result with daily recommended limit of USP / B.P. While health risk assessment (EDI, THQ,TCR, and HI) of all selective herbal species have been computed along with the strict monitoring of contaminants or heavy metals in herbal, cosmetic product and food stuffs by regulatory authorities than it will be more fruitful and beneficial.
Nucleation kinetics and virtual melting in shear-induced crystal–crystal transitions
Authors: Li Wei , Peng Yi , Still Tim , Yodh Arjun , Han Yilong 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Crystal–crystal (c–c) transitions are often induced by large shear deformation, but the microscopic kinetics associated with c–c transitions are difficult to experimentally observe and are poorly understood theoretically. Here, we drive shear-induced phase transitions from square ($\square$) lattices to triangular ($\triangle$) lattices and directly observe the accompanying kinetics with single-particle resolution inside the bulk crystal. For relatively small oscillatory shear strain amplitude, γm < 0.1, the initial nucleation is martensitic, and the late-stage growth exhibits shear-coupled interface propagation. By contrast, for large shear strain, 0.1 < γm < 0.4, liquid nuclei form first, and then $\triangle$-lattice nuclei crystallize within liquid nuclei; $\triangle$-lattice nuclei are surrounded by a liquid layer throughout their growth due to localised shear strain at the interface; large localized strain enables the Lindemann melting criterion to be reached locally and drives virtual melting. Such virtual melting and interface propagation induced shear phenomena have been predicted in theory and simulation, but have not been observed in experiment.
Thymus size at birth in echocardiography: a cohort study
Authors: Wójtowicz-Marzec Monika , Berendt Agnieszka Maria , Bogucki Jacek 
Published: September 2022

Abstract

Background
Echocardiography is a tool used in neonatal period to screen for congenital heart defects and to assess the function of the cardiovascular system. It enables obtaining a three-vessel view (3VV) to show how the superior vena cava, the aorta and the pulmonary trunk relate to each other. A 3VV also provides a view of the thymus gland. Thymic hypoplasia or aplasia, is associated with impaired cell-type immunity. Diagnosis of athymia in neonatal period may prevent complications in adulthood.
Methods
Using the thymus measurements obtained in echocardiography of neonates delivered in one healthcare centre, a total of 1331 thymus records were collected and statistically analysed. The study was conducted on group of 321 preterm neonates and 1010 full-term neonates. The superior mediastinal view was chosen for thymus measurements, with the parallel vascular system, including the superior vena cava, the aorta and the pulmonary trunk ,with visible branching to the right and left pulmonary artery (3VV).
Results
Based on a statistical analysis, a correlation was found of 3VV thymus dimensions and thymic index (TI) with body weight, gestational age and body surface area (BSA). These measurements led to the important finding that the TI value depends on thymus width and depth, more prominently the latter. The 3VV measurement of thymus depth alone can serve as a screening tool to assess the size of the gland.
Conclusions
Inclusion of thymic measurements in neonatal echocardiography protocol can be used as a screening tool to detect thymic hypoplasia or aplasia often associated with impaired cell-type immunity.

Abstract
The quantification of human impacts on past forest ecosystems becomes more challenging as one goes deeper into the past. This is primarily due to a scarcity of appropriate source material. It is well known that the inclusion of the Polish lands in the zone of economic ties with Western Europe at the end of the 15th century enabled intensive export of cereal and forest products. In this paper, we have used place names established before 1600 to demonstrate how ancient forests were exploited. By analyzing the naming material, we distinguished three basic types of names related to logging, industrial production, and beekeeping. In addition, we have included several theoretical considerations related to the environmental consequences of forest exploitation. Thus, our article provides a strong basis for further research into the environmental effects of past landscape changes.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
The association of GIC (geomagnetically induced current) with various solar and geophysical conditions has been known. However, what determines the time of occurrence and amplitude of the largest GIC during geomagnetic storms, which during extreme storms can cause sudden damage of vulnerable utility systems, is not yet known. We address this important question by analyzing the GIC data measured in Finland for 21 years (1999–2019) during 106 geomagnetic activities (DstMin ≤-50 nT) at low, mid and high latitudes and the corresponding solar wind velocity V, dynamic pressure P, north-south component of interplanetary magnetic field (IMF Bz), and the products V×Bz and P×Bz. The results show for the first time that the largest GIC (≥ 10 A) occurs at the time of the largest -(V×Bz) in all seasons and solar activity levels with its time determined by the time of the largest -Bz and magnitude determined by both V and -Bz, except in one case. The two power outages happened in the 21-year period (06 November 2001 and 30 October 2003) also occurred at the UT time of the largest GICmax. The correlation of largest GICmax is also highest (0.92) with the largest -(V×Bz) at September equinox. The results highlight the importance of the single station GIC measurements and possibility of improving the forecasting of the rate of change of the local horizontal geomagnetic field (dH/dt) directly related to GIC.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background
Surgical management of long ureteral stenosis is challenging. We describethe different modalities used in our center to treat long ureteral stenosis and report ourlong-term results.
Methods
This is a 17-year retrospective study to evaluate the efficacy of ureteroplasty with different surgical procedures in 12 patients with long ureteral stenosis. This study has passed ethical approval. Data were collected between May 2005 and September 2021. The mean age was 41 years. Recurrent stenosis was treated with long-term ureteral stent placement. The main observation index was the success rate of surgery. The secondary index was the rate of surgical complications and recurrent stenosis. The mean is used to describe parametric continuity variables, and the median and quartile range (IQR) are used to describe nonparametric continuity variables.
Results
Twelve patients were included. There were iatrogenic injuries in nine patients (75%), bilateral polyps in one (8.3%), ureteral occupation in one (8.3%), and unknown origins in one (8.3%). Ileal replacement was performed in three (25%) patients, lingual mucosa grafts in four(33.3%) patients, and boari bladder flaps in five (41.7%) patients. One of the surgeries was performed laparoscopically. The median follow-up was 49 months (range 8-204), and three patients (25%) had major postoperative complications. One patient’s treatment failed, requiring special reintervention, and two patients (16.7%) underwent ureteral stent placement. We accept the limitations of this small retrospective single-surgeon series, where the surgeon had a certain surgical selection preference.
Conclusion
Iatrogenic injury is the most common cause of long ureteral stenosis.There are many surgical methods for ureteral reconstruction, and the boari bladder flap is a preferred method for repairing long ureteral stenosis due to fewer postoperative complications and a low treatment failure rate.
The internal attentional focus: Studies on the impact on destination memory
Authors: Pinto Raquel , Albuquerque Pedro B. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
To remember to whom we transmit a piece of information, we rely on destination memory, with worse performance occurring when participants transmit personal facts (e.g., my age is ...) compared to interesting ones (e.g., a shrimp's heart is in its head). It seems that when reporting personal information, the internal attentional focus decreases the attentional resources available to associate those facts with recipients, resulting in worse destination memory (Gopie & MacLeod, 2009; Johnson & Jefferson, 2018). Experiment 1 (between-participants design: 41 participants) and Experiment 2 (within-participants design: 30 participants) compared the transmission of personal facts with the transmission of familiar proverbs, with the generation and transmission of personal facts hampering destination memory. However, perhaps the worst performance when transmitting personal facts may be due to the generation of the information, which is absent in the condition where the participants only transmit proverbs. To clarify these results in Experiment 3, 31 participants (1) transmitted and (2) generated and transmitted familiar proverbs, and results showed no differences between the conditions on destination memory. In general, our experiments support the assumption that transmitting personal information leads to worse destination memory, not because the information is generated, but because personal facts drive the attentional focus to the self.

Abstract
Recently, the issue of energy and the environment has been a topic of widespread concern, and the rational use of energy, including both energy conversion from more sustainable energy sources and energy savings, is one of the primary means for achieving the goal of carbon neutrality. Polymer composites that incorporate two-dimensional materials, such as MXenes, and can be used in light conversion, have attracted particular interest, but their opaque appearance limits wider applications. For example, due to the high transparency to solar irradiation, windows are the energy-efficient components, accounting for nearly 51% of the total solar energy, which seriously aggravates interior energy consumption. Thus, it is desirable to develop a transparent film that can enhance light conversion in order to avoid the heat exchange and heighten windows’ energy-saving capability. Herein, we successfully developed a series of visible-light-transparent and UV-absorbing ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composite films by using a combination of Ti3C2Tx MXene as fillers and 2-(2H-Benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-ditertpentylphenol (BZT) as dispersant. These composite films could be quickly heated to 65°C under light irradiation of 400 mW cm-2 and maintained over 85% visible light transmittance as well as low haze (< 12%). Because of the efficient UV absorption by these films, the temperature inside a container completely covered with the optimal composite film was reduced by 6–7°C compared to that inside a container covered with bare glass, demonstrating the potential for these films to be used in energy-saving applications. In addition, the optimal composite film was predicted to provide cooling energy savings ranging from 31 to 61 MJ m-2 year-1 for a typical building in various conditions corresponding to the climate conditions of 12 cities worldwide; these energy savings account for approximately 3%-12% of the total annual cooling energy consumption of such a building. These results imply that these composite films have wide potential for use as transparent devices in new energy-related applications.
