Use of Cyclotron for Radionuclide Production in SPECT Diagnostics at Nuclear Medicine Installation

The development of cyclotron technology in the healthcare industry became important after the production of several radioisotopes with short half-lives were used. Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) became one of the important diagnostic methods, especially in the visualization and functional analysis of internal organs. In Indonesia, cyclotron is only available in a few hospitals and is not fully optimized in the production of radionuclides for SPECT. By involving cyclotron technology in the production of radionuclides for SPECT, it is hoped that this research can make a contribution in advancing the field of nuclear medicine, opening up new opportunities for diagnostic research, and improving the healthcare quality by providing more accurate and timely information to medical practitioners. Relatively low-energy cyclotrons are required to produce PET radionuclides such as 18F, 11C, 13N, 64Cu, and 124I with energies between 2.7 and 5.6 MeV. Medium cyclotrons capable of accelerating protons greater than 10 MeV are required for the production of SPECT radionuclides such as 99mTc, 123I, 201Tl, 111In and 67Ga

Moderator Optimisation in Core Design of Small Modular – Molten Salt Reactor for Military Submarines

The Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) has the potential to be a 4th generation nuclear reactor design due to its high thermal-electric conversion efficiency, integrated safety features, and online reprocessing capacity. The Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) does not require shutdown during operation because the fuel is reprocessed online, making it suitable for submarine propulsion. In this study, beryllium oxide and graphite are used as moderators to increase neutrons in the reactor. Beryllium oxide and graphite are two types of moderators typically employed in nuclear reactors, one of which is in the MSR. Good moderation properties produce many slow neutrons for nuclear fission reactions. The reactor is powered by LiF-U233F3-ThF4 salt in a virtual one-and-a-half liquid configuration. All reactor core design calculations were performed using the MCNP 6.2 code with ENDF/B-VII.0 neutron cross-section. In the context of neutron analysis, the calculated parameters are the effective multiplication factor  and the temperature coefficient of reactivity (TCR). The value of  is obtained by using the ratio of Th : U,  . TCR values were obtained as  for graphite moderator and  for the beryllium oxide moderator. These initial values indicate that the MSR can reach the critical level with the existing safety characteristics of its features. Using the MSR design, the submarine can achieve a much better range than diesel–powered submarines. 

Reactive Oxygen Species in Human Biological Systems and Their Reactivity to Oxidative Stress

Aerobic organisms in carrying out their metabolism can result in biological oxidation which produces 2.5% reactive oxygen species (ROS) based on the amount of oxygen supply. Several types of stressors or factors that trigger increased oxidative stress can be caused by physical agents such as the impact of UV radiation and X-rays, non-physiological oxygen levels, drugs, chemical compounds, aging, and pollutants that can cause homeostatic disturbances in cells, survival, and processes—cell signaling. In order to maintain life, cells also have a response to oxidative stress through antioxidant-forming tools in the body such as catalase (CAT), hydroperosidase (HPx), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). If the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the body exceeds the limit of the amount of antioxidants produced by the body, it will cause cells in the body to experience oxidative stress. If the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced is equivalent to the amount of antioxidants, it will direct cells to growth. This reactive oxygen species (ROS) originates from biological oxidation reactions that occur in the mitochondrial matrix. Thus, neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body can only be suppressed by the reaction of two ROS simultaneously, so that two electrons that were initially unpaired will become paired through both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants and additional antioxidants needed by the body

Examining the Participation of Female Peacekeepers in the United Nations Peacekeeping Operations: The Contributions of Islamic Countries

The world of International Relations will never be separated from its history. Countries in the Middle East, especially Muslim-majority countries, still have a lot of conflicts going on. However, the contribution of Islam to the world of peace never stops. In the contemporary world, for example, this contribution is realized through the participation of Islamic countries in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (UN PKO). This study aims to analyze the contributions of female peacekeepers of Islamic countries. This research uses the concept of peacekeeping and analyzes secondary data with the quality method and literature review approach as the data collection technique.  The result of this research shows that eight of 12 peace missions involved Muslim-majority countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, Egypt, and Indonesia, which sent the most female peacekeepers. This study found that the Muslim-majority countries have successfully implemented the UN PKO program, especially for the increasing number of female peacekeepers agenda. It also found that the female peacekeeper has a substantive and public function in the operations, such as their contribution to the operation in logistical, informational branches, and medical aid aspects. However, the UN PKO still emphasizes masculinity. This study shows that domestic issues including inadequate military personnel and social stigmatization of women's peacekeeping engagement greatly reduce women's representation in UN peacekeeping operations. This inherently impacts the Women, Peace, and Security agenda
