Tnyafar: Women, Livelihoods Strategy in Selaru Island, West Southeast Maluku District

Tnyafar as local wisdom is closely related to women as a regulator of family income strategy. Through tnyafar women express alternatives to meet the needs of families in a variety of conditions, both social, economic, and physical environment. One of the strategies undertaken in tnyafar concept is to do farming activities with a variety of food crops, plantation crops, even developed a special food crops currently facing food emergencies also utilization of coastal areas for seaweed commodities. Thus, women have demonstrated the role of implementing farming activities had even surpassed conception of agroforestry is known so far. Therefore, at this time the role of women not only dominant in the domestic area, but be extended to cover public areas.
Benchmarking airport airside performance: FRA vs. EWR

A benchmarking study of the Newark International (EWR) and Frankfurt/Main International (FRA) airports has been carried out, focusing on 2007, a year when airport congestion reached a peak. This paper summarizes some of its main findings. The two airports were selected because of the similarities in their runway layouts, regional importance, and air traffic characteristics. The analysis relied on the ASPM database of the FAA and on internal and METAR data of DFS. The maximum throughput capacities of the two airports, under a full range of weather conditions, were estimated from empirical data. They vary significantly with weather conditions at both airports, with FRA achieving higher throughput values, largely because of how the third runway there can be utilized. The two airports display different demand-to-capacity relationships. This is due to the fact that FRA is a “coordinated” airport where EU airport scheduling regulations are applied strictly. The result is a “flat” daily demand profile whose peak values do not exceed the capacity of the airport, even in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). In contrast, no scheduling limits were in effect at EWR in 2007, with peak-period demand often exceeding the capacity of the airport, even in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC). Consequently, delays, airline punctuality, and schedule reliability at the two airports were also vastly different, with arrival and departure delays at FRA significantly lower and punctuality higher. Moreover, punctuality and schedule reliability deteriorated sharply at EWR in the afternoon and evening, suggesting over-scheduling. A detailed analysis of gate delays versus taxi-out delays on departure also demonstrated the effect of differences in the way the two airports are operated. In summary, the study highlights the impact of different operational regimes and of demand management policies on the performance of congested airports. Keywords-airports, capacity, delay, schedule reliability, schedule predictability
Comparison of resistance in isolates of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium

Objectives: Enterococci are Gram positive cocci causing hospital- and community-acquired infections even though they are found in normal flora and they have low-virulence. Their most common species detected as the causative agent are Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium. This study aimed to evaluate the differences between the antibiotic susceptibilities of the isolates of these two species isolated from various clinical specimens. Materials and methods: In this study, 68 enterococci strains (40 E.faecalis and 28 E.faecium) isolated from the specimens sent to the clinical microbiology laboratory of Zonguldak Karaelmas Practice and Research Hospital in 2007-2008 were evaluated. Identification at species level and the susceptibilities were performed by using MicroScan WalkAway system (Dade Behring, USA). Results: No resistance to glycopeptides were detected among these isolates. High rates of resistance to ciprofloxacin, rifampicin and erytromycin were observed. Resistance rates to penicillin, ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, rifampicin, erytromycin and high-level gentamicin and streptomycin in E.faecium isolates were found statistically higher than the rates of E.faecalis group (p<0.05). Conclusions: As concordant with the literature, this study observed that E.faecium isolates were significantly more resistant. In enterococcal infections, performing the identification at the species level and determining the antibiotic susceptibility will be helpful in managing of the treatment.

Development of the exposure apparatus of intermediate frequency magnetic field for mice and biological effects on blood properties

To explore the possible non-thermal biological effects of the intermediate frequency magnetic field, we have developed the exposure apparatus for 85 kHz time varying magnetic field. When the current of 30Arms is applied to the solenoidal coil, effective value of alternating magnetic flux density 6.5 mT is obtained. It is found that, induced electric field of 7.8V/m, that is whole body average, will be achieved by this exposure system. As preliminary experiment, we exposed this magnetic field to mice for 1 hour and examined the effect on blood properties.
Ultra-Low Thermal Conductivity in W/Al2O3 Nanolaminates

Atomic layer deposition and magnetron sputter deposition were used to synthesize thin-film multilayers of W/Al2O3. With individual layers only a few nanometers thick, the high interface density produced a strong impediment to heat transfer, giving rise to a thermal conductivity of ∼0.6 watts per meter per kelvin. This result suggests that high densities of interfaces between dissimilar materials may provide a route for the production of thermal barriers with ultra-low thermal conductivity.
Course and outcome of acute limbic encephalitis with negative voltage-gated potassium channel antibodies

Background: Limbic encephalitis is a potentially treatable immunological condition. The presence of voltage-gated potassium channel antibodies (VGKC-Ab) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum of patients with the condition is a marker of the disease associated with a non-paraneoplastic form and good response to treatment. Recent work has highlighted absent serum VGKC-Ab and distinct immunology in patients with the paraneoplastic form of limbic encephalitis. Methods: The cases of four patients with the typical clinical presentation, neuropsychological features and brain imaging of acute limbic encephalitis, in the absence of any evidence for associated cancer during a follow-up of at least 18 months are described here. Results: All patients had negative testing for VGKC-Ab measured during their acute presentation. All patients made some recovery, although they were left with marked cognitive deficits and persistent seizures. Conclusion: These cases demonstrate that the absence of VGKC-Ab in limbic encephalitis does not necessarily imply a paraneoplastic form. Further work is required to establish the immunological basis for the disorder in these patients, and the optimal treatment regimen.
alphavbeta3 and vitronectin expression by normal ovarian surface epithelial cells: role in cell adhesion and cell proliferation.

The alphavbeta3 integrin and its ligand vitronectin are expressed by differentiated epithelial ovarian carcinomas and carcinoma cell lines in culture. Moreover, alphavbeta3/vitronectin interaction influences adhesion and migration of ovarian carcinoma cells in culture. For a better understanding of the behavior of these carcinomas, it appeared necessary to study the characteristics of their normal counterpart, the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE). The present study showed that normal cultured human OSE cells, like the carcinoma cells, have the ability to synthesize vitronectin. The vitronectin receptor, alphavbeta3 integrin, is also expressed by OSE cells and is localized in focal contacts close to paxillin, a focal contact-specific protein, and p125(FAK), a cytoskeletal and signaling molecule. This localization suggested an active participation of the integrin in the adhesion and/or proliferation of OSE cells. Indeed, the use of a blocking antibody demonstrated that alphav integrins promote OSE cell adhesion on vitronectin but not on fibronectin and that these integrins are required for maximal proliferative activity. The results suggest a role of the alphavbeta3/vitronectin system in normal OSE physiology and demonstrate that the expression of this system by well-differentiated ovarian carcinomas reflects the retention of normal cell properties.
Mentoring Practices and Years of Work Experience as Predictors of Job Performance of Cataloguers in a Workplace: A Case Study of Nigerian Libraries

The paper examined the effect of mentoring practices and years of work experience on job performance of cataloguers in Nigerian libraries. Copies of a self-developed, pre-tested and validated questionnaire were served, using total enumeration method, on the delegates at the 36 Annual Conference/Workshop of the Cataloguing, Classification and Indexing Section of the Nigerian Library Association. The study established that even though mentoring practices existing in Nigerian Libraries but the practice was relatively low. However, there was significant relationship between mentoring practices and job performance of cataloguers in Nigerian Libraries but there was no significant relationship between job performance and years of work experience. Having discovered that mentoring influence performances of cataloguers in Nigerian libraries, the paper recommended that mentoring practices should be further reinforced in Nigerian libraries and make it formal with a view to guarantee continued career and professional development of the employees in Nigerian libraries. To this extent, it is desirable that knowledge management practices be embraced to support mentoring practices because there is a great nexus between the two constructs.

Religious affiliation, health behaviors and outcomes: Nashville REACH 2010.

OBJECTIVES To examine the relationships of religious involvement and affiliation with health behavior and conditions. METHODS A survey (n = 3014) conducted for the Nashville REACH 2010 project included questions about religious affiliation and practice as well as health behaviors and conditions. RESULTS Bivariate analyses indicated negative associations between religious involvement and health, along with differences between religious affiliations/groups. This relationship changed, however, after controlling for demographic differences and individual differences in religious involvement. CONCLUSIONS Religious groups share not only beliefs, but also socioeconomic, ethnic, and cultural similarities that must be taken into account in research examining religion and health.
au Forgetting in Managing Rules and Ontologies

The language of HEX-programs under the answer-set semantics is designed for interoperating with heterogeneous sources via external atoms and for meta-reasoning via higher-order literals in the context of the Semantic Web. As an important technique in managing knowledge bases, the notion of forgetting has received increasing interest in the knowledge-representation area. In this paper, we introduce a semantics-based theory of forgetting for HEX-programs and, in turn, for a class of OWL/RDF ontologies which allows to fully employ semantic information in managing ontologies like editing, merging, aligning, and redundancy removal.
Analysis of the Influence of Service Quality and Hospital Image on Inpatient Loyalty with Patient Satisfaction as Intervening Variable

Service quality affects patient satisfaction that will affect patient loyalty. The most important indicators of Hospital services by Ministry of health is the ratio of Bed Occupancy (BOR). If the patient is satisfied with health services provided, then it will effect conferring on patient loyalty to utilize health services. The image of the hospital have an impact on the attitudes and behaviour of patients against hospitals. The better image will be higher levels of consumer purchases and the greater chance of that product being purchased by consumers and further improve consumer loyalty to a product. Purpose: to know the influence of service quality and hospital image on inpatient loyalty with patient satisfaction as an intervening variable. Research methods: This research is quantitative research. This study was conducted on 185 patients at Mother and Child Hospital "Bunda Sejahtera" Tangerang using a questionnaire. Data analysis method in this research used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Research results: showed that a good hospital image did not improve patient satisfaction. Good service quality will increase patient satisfaction. High patient satisfaction will increase loyalty. A good hospital image will increase patient loyalty. Good service quality will increase patient loyalty. In this study patient satisfaction mediates the Service Quality and Hospital Image because the results of the study show that satisfaction influences patient loyalty.
Mécanismes transitoires d'instabilités par confusion de fréquence dans des systèmes fluides structures

This thesis concerns the transient mechanism in fluid structure systems with two coupled degrees of freedom, submitted to frequency coalescence instabilities. Three different solid objects are studied in the order of increasingly streamlined cross sections, namely a square cylinder, a streamlined bridge deck section and a symmetric airfoil. This report is divided into two parts. First part is reserved for the long term behavior of all the three fluid structure systems. The square cylinder is allowed to oscillate freely in a high mass ratio environment. Experiments are repeated, firstly without the memory effect and then with the memory effect over the entire reduced velocity range. Data points obtained from the first case represent validity of the experimental procedure. The later case demonstrates the existence of hysteresis in the reduced amplitude curve. A comparison is developed with a standard wake oscillator model. Long term stability parameters for a bridge deck and a symmetric airfoil are measured and validated using simple theoretical tools detailed in Part-I. Part-II of the thesis report is dedicated to the transient behavior. Growth rate of oscillations amplitude for the square cylinder is measured for the first case, as mentioned above. Experimental results are provided showing the effect of frequency ratio and the amplitude of initial excitation on the maximum energy amplification for the bridge deck. The bridge deck behavior is studied first, under the effect of a mechanical excitation and then under the effect of an excitation induced by an abrupt gust. The airfoil is studied in a linear and a non-linear structural environment subjected to an abrupt gust. Experimental evidence of the existence of by-pass transition to flutter instability in case of the non-linear setup is provided and discussed. A new combination of the quasi steady theory and the Kussner’s aerodynamic admittance function is proposed to validate the results obtained for the linear airfoil setup. Some discussion and a few ideas about the future work are included in the end.
Anti-ulcerogenic and antioxidant properties of the aqueous leaf extract of Ficus capensis in Wistar albino rats

The anti-ulcer effects of the aqueous extract of the leaves of Ficus capensis were evaluated in rats using diclofenac sodium induced-ulcer model. The possible mechanisms of the anti-ulcerogenic effect were explored by determining the antioxidant activity, as well as its effects on some biochemical parameters such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malonaldihyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH). The aqueous extract was evaluated for acute toxicity test, qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis. The results showed that the extract exhibited significant ( P<0.05) and dose- dependent anti-ulcer activity. The percentage ulcer inhibition due to extract at 100, 150 and 200 mg/kg were 25, 41.7 and 43.3% respectively, while that of ranitidine (150mg/kg) was 66.7%. The extract significantly ( P<0.05) decreased MDA activity, and increased the activities of CAT, GSH and SOD significantly ( P<0.05) when compared to untreated control. The qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of reducing sugar, saponins, tannins, flavonoids, soluble carbohydrates, alkaloids, steroids, hydrogen cyanide, glycosides, terpenoids and fats and oil. The acute toxicity test on the extract showed no death or obvious signs of toxicity up to 5000 mg/kg body weight. These findings revealed the potentials of the aqueous extract of Ficus capensis as an anti-ulcerogenic, and as well as antioxidant agent
Repeatability of Subjective and Objective Refraction

Although several studies have examined the repeatability of objective refraction, data concerning the repeatability of subjective refraction under masked conditions, i.e., where the examiner is unaware of the refractive results, are limited. Accordingly, the present study compared the variability of both subjective and objective refractive techniques. Refractive error was measured in 12 subjects on 5 separate occasions. Conventional subjective procedures were used, with the exception that the sphere power scale on the phoropter was covered so that the examiner was unaware of the final result. Objective measurements were obtained using a Canon Autoref R-1 infrared autorefractor. The standard deviation (SD) of the five examinations was calculated for each individual and the mean values for the population sample determined. The mean SD's for the subjective and objective techniques were ±0.14 and ±. 18 D, indicating 95% confidence limits of ±. 27 and ±. 35 D, respectively. It is concluded that with either assessment technique, a change in refractive error of at least ±. 50 D should be adopted as the minimum significant shift in refractive status.
Role for Ceramide in Cell Cycle Arrest (*)

The dependence of some cell types on serum factors for growth may represent a powerful, but poorly studied, model for antimitogenic pathways. In this study, we examine ceramide as a candidate intracellular mediator of serum factor dependence. In Molt-4 leukemia cells, serum withdrawal caused a significant arrest in cell cycle progression (80% of cells in G0/G1), accompanied by a modest apoptotic cell death (12%). Serum deprivation of these cells resulted in significant sphingomyelin hydrolysis (72%; corresponding to hydrolysis of 47 pmol/nmol phosphate), which was accompanied by a profound and progressive elevation (up to 10-15-fold) in endogenous levels of ceramide. Withdrawal of serum caused the activation of a distinct, particulate, and magnesium-dependent sphingomyelinase. The addition of exogenous C6-ceramide induced a dramatic arrest in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle comparable to the effects observed with serum withdrawal, albeit occurring much sooner. Unlike serum withdrawal, however, the addition of C6-ceramide resulted in more pronounced apoptosis. Because of the previously noted ability of exogenously added phorbol esters to inhibit ceramide-mediated apoptosis, we investigated the hypothesis that endogenous activation of the diacylglycerol/protein kinase C pathway may modulate the response to serum withdrawal. Indeed, serum withdrawal resulted in 3-4-fold elevation in endogenous diacylglycerol levels. The addition of exogenous diacylglycerols resulted in selective attenuation of ceramide's effects on apoptosis but not on cell cycle arrest. Thus, the combination of ceramide and diacylglycerol recapitulated the complex effects of serum withdrawal on cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. These studies identify a novel role for ceramide in cell cycle regulation, and they may provide the first evidence for an intracellular signal transduction pathway in mammalian cells mediating cell cycle arrest. These studies also underscore the importance of lipid second messengers and the significance of the interplay between glycerolipid-derived and sphingolipid-derived lipid mediators.
