Analysis determinant supply & demand fisheries

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of fisheries sector in Indonesia is always above the National GDP growth, in Q3 2017, the fisheries sector grew to 6.79% with a GDP value of Rp. 169,513.10 billion while national GDP growth is only 5.03%, this is shows a very large fishery potential. The government is increasingly focused on the fisheries sector because it is part of the national flagship sector in the Nawa Cita program, by issued many policies, one of them trawling bans in accordance with regulation 2 / PERMEN-KP / 2015. The aims of this study is to analysis the factors of fisherman production, the amount of financing/credit, trawling ban on fish production and Gemar Makan Ikan campaign against fish demand in the provinces of Java and Bali. This study used Two Stage Least Square (2SLS) method with panel data of provinces in Java and Bali islands from 2006-2017. In this approach, the assumption made is the amount of fish production is the same as the amount of fish demand on the island of Java and Bali. The result are number of fishermen and credits significantly positively to fish catching. Population is significantly positive for fish consumption. Ban trawl policy is still not felt by the impact. And Campaigns actually reduce fish consumption compared to without campaigns.
Regulation of meiotic recombination and prophase I progression in mammals

Meiosis is the process by which diploid germ cells divide to produce haploid gametes for sexual reproduction. The process is highly conserved in eukaryotes, however the recent availability of mouse models for meiotic recombination has revealed surprising regulatory differences between simple unicellular organisms and those with increasingly complex genomes. Moreover, in these higher eukaryotes, the intervention of physiological and sex‐specific factors may also influence how meiotic recombination and progression are monitored and regulated. This review will focus on the recent studies involving mouse mutants for meiosis, and will highlight important differences between traditional model systems for meiosis (such as yeast) and those involving more complex cellular, physiological and genetic criteria.

Malicious MXit? South African adolescents’ use of mobile-based communication applications

Across the globe, and particularly in the high-income countries of the developed world, adolescents are resorting in increasing numbers to the virtual world for peer interaction and socialisation (Subrahmanyam, Smahel and Greenfield 2006). This new and popular way of relating through virtual mediums such as the Internet has sparked public concern, and has been a focus of academic debate. Ongoing debate in psychology literature discusses the notion of compulsive usage of online communication platforms (commonly termed Internet addiction), particularly among adolescents (Kim et al. 2006, Fu et al. 2010, Israelashvili, Kim and Bukobza 2012).

Acute coronary syndrome in the elderly: the Malaysian National Cardiovascular Disease Database-Acute Coronary Syndrome registry.

INTRODUCTION The elderly are often underrepresented in clinical trials for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and cardiologists commonly face management dilemmas in the choice of treatment for this group of patients, particularly concerning the use of invasive revascularisation. This study analysed the characteristics of hospitalised elderly patients with ACS, and compared the outcomes of treatments. METHODS From 29 December 2005 to 26 April 2010, 13,545 patients were admitted for ACS in 16 hospitals across Malaysia. These patients were divided into two groups - elderly (≥ 65 years) and non-elderly (< 65 years). The clinical characteristics, treatment received (invasive or non-invasive) and outcomes (in-hospital and 30-day all-cause mortality) of the two groups were compared. The elderly patients were then grouped according to the type of treatment received, and the outcomes of the two subgroups were compared. RESULTS Elderly patients had a higher cardiovascular risk burden and a higher incidence of comorbidities. They were less likely to receive urgent revascularisation for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (elderly: 73.9% vs. non-elderly: 81.4%) and had longer door-to-needle time (elderly: 60 minutes vs. non-elderly: 50 minutes, p = 0.004). The rate of cardiac catheterisation was significantly lower in the elderly group across all ACS strata. Elderly patients had poorer outcomes than non-elderly patients, but those who received invasive treatment appeared to have better outcomes than those who received non-invasive treatment. CONCLUSION Elderly patients with ACS tend to be undertreated, both invasively and pharmacologically. Invasive treatment seems to yield better outcomes for this group of patients.
Evaluating indoor localization solutions in large environments through competitive benchmarking: The EvAAL-ETRI competition

The increasing demand for services and higher comfort levels inside buildings, together with the rise in time spent indoor, ensure an upward trend in indoor localization demand for the future. Evaluation of indoor localization systems is particularly challenging due to the complexity of such systems and to the variety of solutions adopted and services offered. EvAAL is an international competition aimed at evaluating and assessing indoor localization systems. The fifth edition of EvAAL promotes competitions on indoor localization in large environments. This paper describes its technical aspects, the competing systems and the results.
Determining Ice-Sheet Uplift Surrounding Subglacial Lakes with a Viscous Plate Model

We develop a viscous model of plate bending suitable for studying ice-sheet flexure due to subglacial lake filling and draining, and apply this model to determine the area of ice-sheet uplift surrounding a subglacial lake. The choice of a viscous model reflects our interest in Antarctic subglacial lakes, which can fill and drain on time scales of months to decades. Experiments with idealized lake shapes show that the size of the uplift area relative to lake area depends on subglacial water pressure and ice-sheet thickness, with the viscous material parameters scaling the magnitude of uplift rate within this area. The water pressure therefore has a strong control on the evolution of the lake shape and related subglacial hydrological development, but is not yet well constrained by observations. Due to the likelihood that ice flexure will affect subglacial lake filling and draining, we suggest that the insights of this study should be applied to development of a realistic ice sheet-hydrological coupled model.
Blood expression profiles for tuberous sclerosis complex 2, neurofibromatosis type 1, and down's syndrome

Blood gene expression profiling has been applied to a variety of hematological malignancies, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. This study applies this approach to genetic diseases without obvious blood phenotypes. Three genetic diseases including tuberous sclerosis complex 2, neurofibromatosis type 1, and Down's syndrome were compared with a group of healthy controls. RNA from whole blood was surveyed using Affymetrix U133A arrays. Each disease was associated with a unique gene expression pattern in blood that can be accurately distinguished by a classifier. Genes on chromosome 21 were overexpressed in Down's syndrome, and genes controlling cell cycle and proliferation were associated with tuberous sclerosis complex type 2 or neurofibromatosis type 1. A subset of genes involved in cardiac development or remodeling were overexpressed in patients with Down's syndrome and congenital heart defects. These findings suggest that blood gene expression profiling on a broader basis might be useful for genetic disease screening/diagnosis and might help elucidate mechanisms and pathways that lead to genotype–phenotype differences.

[Temporomandibular function after malocclusion operations compared with a representative population group study].

AIM The temporomandibular function of patients after orthognathic surgery was evaluated with the Helkimo index (D 0-III) and compared with a normal population. PATIENTS AND METHODS Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) were evaluated with the Helkimo index (D 0-III) in a group of patients (n=105, F=69, M=36) after osteotomies. The average follow-up time was 47 months (9-141 months). The osteotomies performed were as follows: 58 bilateral sagittal split osteotomies, 12 Le Fort I osteotomies, 22 bimaxillary osteotomies, and 13 segment-osteotomies. A control group (n=202, F=114, M=88, age 20-39 years) was examined in an epidemiological study. The statistical analysis was performed using Windows software SPSS 10.0. RESULT In 82.8% of the patients no symptoms or mild dysfunction were found. The comparison between the patient group (31.4%) and the control group (31.7%) revealed a similar frequency. The most frequent dysfunction was a reduced mobility of the mandible, which determined the statistical significance (p<0,05) between the patients and the control group for the dysfunction group D II and D III. The chi-square test could not detect any difference between sex and the kind of osteotomy with regard to dysfunction.
The Double Opposing Z-Plasty Plus or Minus Buccal Flap Approach for Repair of Cleft Palate: A Review of 505 Consecutive Cases

Background: Standard methods of cleft palate repair rely on existing palatal tissue to achieve closure. These procedures often require relaxing incisions, causing scars and growth restriction, and may result in insufficient palatal length and suboptimal positioning of the velar musculature. The Furlow double opposing Z-plasty improves palatal length and repositions the velar musculature; however, relaxing incisions may still be needed. The addition of buccal flaps to the Furlow repair obviates the need for relaxing incisions and allows the Furlow repair to be used in wide clefts. Methods: A retrospective review was performed on 505 patients; all patients were treated with the double opposing Z-plasty plus or minus buccal flap approach. Outcomes included nasal resonance, secondary speech surgery, and postoperative complications. A comparison was made between patients treated with double opposing Z-plasty alone and those treated with double opposing Z-plasty plus buccal flaps. Results: The average nasal resonance score was 1.38 and was equivalent in both the double opposing Z-plasty alone and with buccal flap groups, despite significantly more wide clefts in the buccal flap group (56 percent versus 8 percent). The secondary surgery rate for velopharyngeal insufficiency was 6.6 percent and the fistula rate was 6.1 percent. The large fistula rate (>2 mm) was 2.7 percent. Conclusions: The double opposing Z-plasty plus or minus buccal flap approach is a useful alternative to standard palate repairs. Speech outcomes were excellent, even in wider clefts, and postoperative complications were minimal. Buccal flaps allow the benefits of the Furlow repair to be applied to any size cleft, without the need for relaxing incisions. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, III.
Development of metrics and an external benchmarking program for healthcare facilities

Abstract This paper describes the development of a benchmarking program for healthcare projects. Healthcare construction projects tend to be unique due to varied healthcare facilities and offered services, thus requiring a platform to study distinct project management approaches for the healthcare industry. The idea of continuous improvement through competitive benchmarking is already well established. However, highly targeted comparisons are not possible without industry-specific metrics. The ability to measure project performance allows for credible industry norms and continuous improvement. As a first step, a comprehensive study focused on identifying specific metrics to measure healthcare capital project-performance in key areas such as cost, schedule, change, and best practice implementation was concluded with input from a team comprised of healthcare owners, contractors, and architects. In addition, space/dimensional and program-specific metrics were also identified for this external benchmarking program. This paper presents the development of a framework for different healthcare capital facility-types using absolute and relative metrics for the healthcare industry. The findings include resources for the healthcare community in the form of healthcare facility metrics and project database that enables the process of quantifying the effectiveness and efficiency of processes specific to the healthcare industry of completed and ongoing projects.
Type and Timing of Maltreatment Influence Criminal Persistence in Sexually Abusive Adolescents

The development of sexuality is a major goal in the normative course of puberty. However, some adolescents start and maintain sexually coercive behaviors. Maltreatment appears as a contributing factor in juvenile criminal persistence, although its role regarding reoffenses in juveniles convicted of sexual offenses (JSOs) is unclear. We examined time-dependent associations of maltreatment categories and subtypes with criminal persistence in JSOs. Files of 278 male JSOs (M = 14.64 years, SD = 1.58 years) were analyzed for experiences of emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual victimization, emotional neglect, and physical neglect. We found 3 subtypes reflecting severe maltreatment, neglectful experiences, and low maltreatment. Severe maltreatment proved to be a consistent predictor of nonsexual criminal persistence, whereas overall neglectful experiences were related to sexual criminal persistence. More specifically, physical neglect (including lack of parental supervision) appeared of major importance for criminal persistence. Results indicate that maltreatment is a contributing factor in criminal persistence in JSOs and emphasize the potential gain of applying family oriented interventions to reduce criminal persistence in JSOs.
Essays in the political economy of organisations: power, leadership and coordination

This study provides with behavioural insights on three components of the political economy of organisations namely power, leadership and coordination. In the second chapter, we implement a lab experiment to study how the experience of power affects the value given to powerful positions. We contribute to the literature on the value of decisions rights by replicating in the lab a real-life-like power asymmetry. Moreover, we manipulate the status and the legitimacy of the powerful positions, and elicit the value of power from the powerful and the powerless reference points. We find that those who have experienced and exercised power are willing to let go substantial pecuniary compensations to remain in charge. The third chapter experimentally compares teams versus individual in a coordination task. Since in our setting teams do not necessarily outperform individuals, our results partially contrast the state of the art on this arena. We contribute to the literature on organisational behaviour by pointing out the importance of coordinating institutions such as voting rules, communication, joint incentives, etc., to promote teams’ coordination. Finally, we empirically study the role of formal leaders in real-life organisations: football teams. We contribute to the literature in organisational behaviour in sports by implementing an adaptation of the red card into the sport production function to estimate the relative effect of a captain dismissal in both Northern and Southern European leagues. We find context specific results, as we find that the captain dismissal only affects the match outcomes in Southern leagues when the away captain is sent-off. This result might open a window to incorporate leadership and cross cultural studies in the literature of the home team advantage.
The determinants of inter-firms R&D cooperation and partner selection. A literature overview

Firms which want to augment their technological capabilities can do it through in-house efforts or external R&D activities, such as R&D contracting or R&D cooperation. In this paper I focus on R&D cooperation, developing an originally structured and detailed review of its main determinants with a particular attention to the selected cooperation partners. The main contribution of this paper is to highlight points in which literature has not still achieved clear cut conclusions on the factors affecting firms' propensity to engage in R&D cooperations with other firms or science institutions, suggesting open fields of research.
Morphology and Morphometry of the Tendons of the Palmaris Longus and Radial Carpal Extensor Muscles in Humans

The tendons of the palmaris longus (PL) and radial carpal extensor (RCE) muscles have extensive applications in surgery, yet despite their constant use, information about their morphological and morphometric characteristics remains limited . The aim of this study was to describe the morphological and morphometric characteristics of the PL and RCE muscle tendons and compare t hem to each other in 30 upper limbs of adult individuals with no apparent deformations from anatomy units at four universities in C hile. The anterior side and lateral margin of the forearm and the back of the hand as far as the tendon plane were dissected. The average length, width at origin level and at the level of the radiocarpal joint line of the PL muscle tendon were 125.48 mm ± . 93, 4.76 mm ± 1.35 and 3.76 mm ± 0.91, respectively. The average length, width at the levels of origin and insertion of the extensor carpi radialis longus musc le tendon were 180.46 mm ± 15.03, 14.69 mm ± 3.72 and 7.76 mm ± 1.44 respectively, whereas for the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle they were 115.23 mm ± 11.81, 9.53 mm ± 2.58 and 7.33 mm ±1.17, respectively. The most common origin of the tendons of the PL and extensor carpi radialis longus muscles was at the level of the middle third of the forearm, whereas the most common origin of t he extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle tendon was at distal third level. The shape of the tendons of the PL and RCE muscles was broad and flat along their entire length. Simulating the longitudinal division of the tendons of the RCE muscles in two halves, the radia l half of the tendons of both muscles has morphological and morphometric characteristics similar to the PL muscle tendon, such that it could be used as a graft in the case of agenesis of the PL muscle, or for tendon transfer where elongation of a tendon in the region is requi red.
RAS/ERK Signaling Promotes Site-specific Ribosomal Protein S6 Phosphorylation via RSK and Stimulates Cap-dependent Translation*

Converging signals from the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathways are well established to modulate translation initiation. Less is known regarding the molecular basis of protein synthesis regulated by other inputs, such as agonists of the Ras/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling cascade. Ribosomal protein (rp) S6 is a component of the 40S ribosomal subunit that becomes phosphorylated at several serine residues upon mitogen stimulation, but the exact molecular mechanisms regulating its phosphorylation and the function of phosphorylated rpS6 is poorly understood. Here, we provide evidence that activation of the p90 ribosomal S6 kinases (RSKs) by serum, growth factors, tumor promoting phorbol esters, and oncogenic Ras is required for rpS6 phosphorylation downstream of the Ras/ERK signaling cascade. We demonstrate that while ribosomal S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) phosphorylates rpS6 at all sites, RSK exclusively phosphorylates rpS6 at Ser235/236 in vitro and in vivo using an mTOR-independent mechanism. Mutation of rpS6 at Ser235/236 reveals that phosphorylation of these sites promotes its recruitment to the 7-methylguanosine cap complex, suggesting that Ras/ERK signaling regulates assembly of the translation preinitiation complex. These data demonstrate that RSK provides an mTOR-independent pathway linking the Ras/ERK signaling cascade to the translational machinery.
Activator-specific requirement for the general transcription factor IIE in yeast.

The general transcription factor (TF) IIE is required for mRNA synthesis of many, but not all, genes in yeast. In the transcription process, TFIIE regulates TFIIH kinase activity that phosphorylates the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II. The CTD and the CTD kinase Kin28, a subunit of TFIIH, have been shown to be dispensable for activation of several heat shock genes and the copper metallothionein gene CUP1. Here we analyzed requirement of TFIIE for transcription of these genes and found that TFIIE is necessary for activation of the heat shock genes by heat shock transcription factor Hsf1. By contrast, transcription of CUP1 mediated by both Hsf1 and copper-activated transcription factor Ace1 was inducible after inactivating TFIIE. These results show that both TFIIE and the CTD/the CTD kinase exhibit "gene specificities" which are overlapping, but not identical to each other, and thereby suggest that TFIIE functions with or without involvement of the CTD/the CTD kinase depending on the gene to be transcribed.
Static output feedback based fault accommodation design for continuous-time dynamic systems

This article addresses the integrated fault estimation (FE) and accommodation problem for continuous-time dynamic systems. First, using a specific system decomposition, we propose a new multi-objective reduced-order FE observer (RFEO), whose application range is wider than the existing adaptive and sliding mode ones. FE performances are further enhanced by introducing slack variables to reduce the conservatism generated by the direct design method. Finally, with the help of both system decomposition and slack variable techniques, a static output feedback fault tolerant controller (SOFFTC) design, whose sufficient condition is given in terms of linear matrix inequalities, is proposed to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system in the presence of faults. Moreover, the RFEO and the SOFFTC are designed separately, so that their design parameters can be calculated easily. Simulation results of an aircraft application are presented to illustrate our contributions.
