Simulation Of Blood Inventory Management: Case Of The Indonesian Red Cross Jakarta Branch, Azaria Ekaputri, Ratih Dyah Kusumastuti

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

With around 5.6 million tons of annual plastic consumption and merely 7 percent plastic recycling rate, Indonesia is facing a plastic pollution crisis. The recent progress of Indonesia’s recycling industries has provided an asset to address this crisis. In 2017, the domestic post-consumption plastic waste could only fulfil around 24 percent the domestic needs for recycled plastic, which stands at 1.65 million ton/year. Leveraging the plastic waste ‘asset’ through circular economy can fill this demand gap. A five-month study was conducted to analyse the recycling rate of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and Polypropylene (PP)-based beverage plastic packaging in Greater Jakarta Metropolitan …

Fool Me Once: Characterizing The Response Of Notophthalmus Viridescens To Multiple Exposures Of Batrachochytrium Salamandrivorans, Julia A. Mccartney

Graduate Masters Theses

The repertoire of defenses a host may use against a pathogen is often thought of in the context of innate and adaptive immunity. However, the role of host symbionts such as the microbiome are being examined potentially as part of an individual’s defense against disease. Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), is characterized by an infection of the skin often leading to osmotic imbalance and mortality, and has resulted in losses in global amphibian biodiversity. Understanding what may influence the development of resistance to or tolerance of infection is critical to developing prevention …

Opening The Halls Of Power: Implementing A Community Organizing Approach To Parent Engagement In New York City’S Community Schools, Andrew R. King

Graduate Doctoral Dissertations

Under former Mayor Bill de Blasio, New York City launched a Community Schools Initiative (NYC-CS) in 2014 that now includes more than 300 schools, making it the largest school improvement plan of its kind in the country. Bloomberg, the previous mayor, had championed market-based reform strategies by closing struggling public schools and replacing them with privately run charter schools. In contrast, the community schools model supports struggling schools by providing them with wraparound services to address not only the academic—but also the health, social, and emotional—needs of the “whole child.” Research has shown the NYC initiative has had positive impacts …

Host-Pathogen Interactions In A Changing World: Microbes, Mucosal Defenses, And Multiple Hosts, Brandon C. Labumbard Dec 2022

Host-Pathogen Interactions In A Changing World: Microbes, Mucosal Defenses, And Multiple Hosts, Brandon C. Labumbard

Graduate Doctoral Dissertations

As fungal diseases continue to emerge, research increasingly focuses on host-microbiome interactions and links to disease. Certain skin-associated microbes may benefit hosts by protecting them from invading pathogens. Seasonal changes in the host environment can also result in shifts in the microbial community and pathogen virulence – potentially influencing disease dynamics. I investigated how cutaneous microbial communities differ across hosts, seasons, and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) infection status by sequencing the microbial communities of 1,100 leopard frogs at five locations across the US. Percent anti-Bd function varied seasonally and with Bd infection status. Bacterial communities also varied across locations and time. …

Quantifying Life History Energetics Of An Oviparous Elasmobranch Subject To Future Warming Water, Carolyn R. Wheeler Dec 2022

Quantifying Life History Energetics Of An Oviparous Elasmobranch Subject To Future Warming Water, Carolyn R. Wheeler

Graduate Doctoral Dissertations

Marine ectothermic fishes – fishes that do not regulate internal body temperature independent from the water temperature – are some of the most vulnerable organisms to rapid and alarming increases in environmental temperature occurring due to climate change mediated-ocean warming. For tropical fish species that live near their thermal maxima, this warming could be of grave consequence to individuals, populations, and whole marine ecosystems. Certain key life stages such as embryos and reproducing adults may be particularly vulnerable to warming given the excess energetic costs of these life stages, which may disallow compensation for extreme changes in temperature. One taxonomic …

Cancer metastasis is a major cause of cancer-related mortality. Strategies to reduce metastases are needed especially in lung cancer, the most common cause of cancer mortality. We previously reported increased ubiquitin-specific peptidase 18 (USP18) expression in lung and other cancers. Engineered reduction of USP18 expression repressed lung cancer growth and promoted apoptosis. This deubiquitinase (DUB) stabilized targeted proteins by removing the complex interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15). This study explores if the loss of USP18 reduced lung cancer metastasis. USP18 knock-down in lung cancer cells was independently achieved using small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). USP18 knock-down reduced …

Compartment Syndrome With Severe Neurovascular Complications After Trans-Radial Approach Of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Casereport And Literature Reviewarticle, Pei-Yi Chen, Hong-Yi Lin

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The gold standard for the acute coronary syndrome is percutaneous coronary intervention. Access site practice has shifted from transfemoral to transradialaccess (TRA), with the latter being more popular in Europe and Asia due to higher success rates, fewer site-related vascular complications, mortality, and shorter hospital stay. Significant complications following TRA of percutaneous coronary intervention have been reported, including spasm, occlusion, perforation, pseudoaneurysm formation, arteriovenous fistula, and rarely, compartment syndrome and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Here, we report the case of a 66-y-old male who had persistent right-hand painful swelling, clawed hand, and sensory disturbance for 2 months following TRA …
