Unlabelled: In this study, total burned household waste and the potential emissions released from waste burning in Semarang City, Indonesia, were estimated. Waste piles were monitored using the transect walk survey method in 16 sub-districts of Semarang City. Carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC), nitrous oxide (NO), and total particulate matter (TPM) were directly analyzed through a simulation of waste combustion. The potential emissions from other pollutants were predicted by multiplying the weight of the burned waste by the emission factors available in the literature. The estimated waste burned in Semarang City in 2020-2021 was 58.8 Gg/year, or approximately 9.70% of the total waste generated in Semarang City. This estimation exceeds local government estimates of 2020 by two-fold. Peri-urban areas (both inner and outer) were identified as the most significant contributors to waste burning. Further, garden waste was the most burned waste (73.61%), followed by plastic waste (17.45%). Other wastes, including paper, leather, textile, rubber, and food, were also burned. Overall, a decrease in the activity of waste burning is an important step for reducing the potential of air pollution and climate change.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates how different ways of measuring obesity affect mortality risk for patients on hemodialysis (HD), revealing conflicting findings across methods.
- - A systematic review analyzed data from 23 studies, finding that while body mass index (BMI) indicated a lower mortality risk for obese HD patients, other methods like waist circumference showed an increased risk.
- - The research highlights an "obesity paradox" in HD patients where higher BMI correlates with lower risk, suggesting that BMI may not effectively distinguish between fat and muscle mass, calling for further studies on obesity measurement techniques.

COVID-19 became a global pandemic in 2020 and significantly affected the activity of hematopoietic cell transplants (HCT) worldwide. Despite these challenges, a total of 28,793 transplants, including 18,518 allogeneic and 10,275 autologous transplants, were performed in 719 facilities in 2020 in the Asia-Pacific (AP) region. This represented a 5.

Developing efficient and reliable gas sensors for the simultaneous detection of multiple gases is paramount in various fields, specifically healthcare, biological, and biomedical applications. In this study, we present a novel ratiometric optical dual gas sensor based on perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) to detect nitric oxide and oxygen simultaneously. All dye molecules were excited using a 405 nm LED in the experimental setup.
