Finding New Ways to Treat Kidney Disease
No full textChronic kidney disease affects millions of people in the U.S. and worldwide; however, current treatments are not highly effective. Many factors contribute to chronic kidney disease, including diabetes, hypertension, autoimmune disorders, and others. Research in the lab of University of Utah Health investigator Donald Kohan, MD, PhD, used genetically engineered mice to help identify a peptide, endothelin-1, and its receptor, ETA, as key regulators of blood pressure and kidney function in health. Kohan and colleagues also helped determine that kidney ET-1 production is increased in many kidney diseases and, through activation of ETA receptors on most kidney cell types, leads to inflammation, scarring, and decreased kidney function. Together with national and international collaborators, they have translated these studies into clinical trials demonstrating that blocking the ETA receptor protects kidney function in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. These trials with ETA receptor antagonists are now being extended into other forms of chronic kidney disease. Targeting the endothelin-1/ETA receptor system represents a promising approach to the treatment of chronic kidney disease

Seiring perkembangan zaman, dunia pendidikan perlahan-lahan mengalami kemajuan
dalam bidang teknologi yang sekarang telah memasuki era 5.0 atau dikenal dengan Society 5.0.
Adanya teknologi ini berdampak pada kemajuan dalam dunia pendidikan salah satunya pada
media pembelajaran. Salah satu contoh media penunjang pembelajaran yang kerap digunakan
di dunia pendidikan pada era ini yaitu animasi berupa anime yang berasal dari Jepang. Berkat
kemajuan teknologi yang menghasilkan anime ini, banyak pemelajar bahasa Jepang yang
menggunakan anime sebagai media penunjang pembelajaran dikarenakan dapat melatih
menyimak dan berbicara dalam bahasa Jepang. Berdasarkan hasil studi pendahuluan yang
diberikan kepada 47 mahasiswa semester dua angkatan 2023, 87,2% mahasiswa merasa senang
menonton anime, kemudian 97,9% mahasiswa setuju bahwa menonton anime memberikan
manfaat dalam pembelajaran bahasa Jepang terutama pada mata kuliah Choukai-Kaiwa Shokyu
Kohan dengan persentase sebesar 80,9%. Berdasarkan hasil studi pendahuluan tersebut, maka
peneliti tertarik untuk melakukan penelitian mengenai pengaruh minat menonton anime
terhadap hasil belajar Choukai-Kaiwa Shokyu Kohan pada mahasiswa semester dua tahun
2023/2024.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan ada atau tidaknya pengaruh minat
menonton anime terhadap hasil belajar Choukai-Kaiwa Shokyu Kohan pada mahasiswa
semester dua tahun 2023/2024 serta faktor apa saja yang memengaruhi minat menonton anime.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif. Sampel dalam penelitian
ini adalah mahasiswa semester dua angkatan 2023 sebanyak 62 mahasiswa yang terdiri dari 10
mahasiswa digunakan untuk uji reliabilitas angket dan 52 mahasiswa sebagai data penelitian.
Metode pengumpulan data menggunakan angket dan dokumentasi. Metode angket digunakan
untuk mendapatkan informasi mengenai minat menonton anime pada mahasiswa semester dua
angkatan 2023 dan metode dokumentasi digunakan untuk mendapatkan nilai ujian tengah
semester mata kuliah Choukai-Kaiwa Shokyu Kohan mahasiswa semester dua.
Berdasarkan hasil analisis menggunakan uji regresi linier sederhana, menunjukkan bahwa
terdapat hubungan antara minat menonton anime dengan hasil belajar Choukai-Kaiwa Shokyu
Kohan yang termasuk dalam kategori sedang. Selain itu, terdapat pengaruh minat menonton
anime terhadap hasil belajar Choukai-Kaiwa Shokyu Kohan pada mahasiswa semester dua
dengan didapatkan nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,002 lebih kecil dari nilai signifikansi yang
ditetapkan sebesar 0,05 yang artinya terdapat pengaruh minat menonton anime terhadap hasil
belajar Choukai-Kaiwa Shokyu Kohan tahun 2023/2024 dengan besar pengaruh 18,3%.
Adapun faktor yang memengaruhi minat menonton anime pada mahasiswa dibagi menjadi
empat indikator dengan perolehan persentase rata-rata indikator perasaan senang dan perhatian
masing-masing sebesar 85%, diikuti ketertarikan 82%, dan terakhir keterlibatan sebesar 75%
MoS2 Nanosheets Uniformly Anchored on NiMoO4 Nanorods, a Highly Active Hierarchical Nanostructure Catalyst for Oxygen Evolution Reaction and Pseudo-Capacitors
No full textHierarchical nanostructures have attracted considerable research attention due to their applications in the catalysis field. Herein, we design a versatile hierarchical nanostructure composed of NiMoO4 nanorods surrounded by active MoS2 nanosheets on an interconnected nickel foam substrate. The as-prepared nanostructure exhibits excellent oxygen evolution reaction per-formance, producing a current density of 10 mA cm−2 at an overpotential of 90 mV, in comparison with 220 mV necessary to reach a similar current den-sity for NiMoO4. This behavior originates from the structural/morphological properties of the MoS2 nanosheets, which present numerous surface-active sites and allow good contact with the electrolyte. Besides, the structures can effectively store charges, due to their unique branched network providing accessible active surface area, which facilitates intermediates adsorptions. Particularly, NiMoO4/MoS2 shows a charge capacity of 358 mAhg−1 at a current of 0.5 A g−1 (230 mAhg−1 for NiMoO4), thus suggesting promising applications for charge-storing devices
Effects of hydrolysis ageing on the performance and dimensional stability of glass-fiber reinforced polyamide 66
No full textResults of an in-depth study of hydrolysis testing on the mechanical performance, weight change, and dimensional stability of injection moulded glass-fiber reinforced polyamide 66 automotive composites are presented. Composite and resin samples have been characterised after conditioning in water-glycol mixtures at 70°C, 120°C and 150°C for a range of times up to 1000 hours. The results reveal that hydrothermal ageing results in significant changes in the mechanical performance, weight, and dimensions of these materials. Mechanical performance after conditioning at different temperatures could be superimposed when considered as a function of the level of fluid absorbed by the composite matrix

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
