Sitotoksisitas Kombinasi Seng-oksida dan Ekstrak Curcuma longa Terhadap Fibroblas Gingiva Manusia

The use of zinc oxide - eugenol as periodontal dressing is controversial due to the toxic nature of eugenol and Curcuma longa Linn as a safe natural herbal, is expected to replace eugenol function. Previous research has proven that the combination of zinc oxide with Curcuma liquid extract has an antibacterial properties and the use of those as wound dressing through in vivo studies proved to accelerate wound healing. The ingredients applied to the oral cavity must benon-toxic and biocompatible, therefore cytotoxicity testing 1 is required. To determine the cytotoxicity of zinc oxide and Curcuma longa extract combination on human gingival fibroblast cells. Cytotoxicity test of combination of zinc oxide powder with Curcuma liquid extract was done at ratio of 1: 1 (group A) and 2: 1 (group B), Curcuma liquid extract (group C) and zinc oxide powder (group D), which performed on human gingival fibroblast culture-cells (3-5x103 densities) in 96 wells microplate. MTT essay was used to analyzed with IC50 parameters. Statistical analysis using oneway Anova and LSD. The number of living cells in group A = 64.819%, group B = 59.452%, group C = 52.859% and group D = 60.502%. There was no significant difference between the groups of A, B, D but those groups were significantly different to group C. Combination of zinc oxide with Curcuma extract ratio of 1: 1 and 2: 1, zinc oxide powder and Curcuma liquid extract are not toxic to human gingival fibroblast at IC50.
Biochemical, hormonal and hematological responses to brazilian Jiu- jitsu matches

Blood parameters provide different data regarding t he assimilation of a training program and allow the understanding of organic adaptation to sp orts practice. The aim of this study was to quantif y changes in biochemical, hormonal and hematological markers in response to subsequent Brazilian Jiu-Jit su (BJJ) matches. Four experienced fighters (27,5±3,1 years; 79,4±4,7kg; 79,4±4,7cm and 8,3±2,9% of body fat) participated in this study. The athletes were submitted to blood collecting in four conditions i) 12 hours of fasting (JO); ii) before the fight 1 (PreC ; immediately before the fight); iii) after the fig ht 1 (PostC1) and, iv) after fight 2 (PostC2), being the last two held immediately after each fight. Creati ne kinase (CK) and CK-MB (cardiac) levels were lower at PreC as compared with PostC1 and PostC2 (p<0.05). Levels of aspartate aminotransferase were higher at JO when compared with PostC1 (p=0.04). In terms of creatinine concentrations, it has been ide ntified a difference between PreC and PostC2 (p<0.0 5). The concentration of lactate increased from JO to P reC, PostC1 and PostC2 (p=0.001) and PreC to PostC2 (p=0.001). In terms of white series, it has been fo und significant difference (p<0.001) from JO leucoc ytes counting to PostC1 and PostC2. The results of this study suggest that BJJ fights promote: i) increase in markers of activation of the anaerobic component, ATP breakdown and muscle damage, which denotes high intensity efforts; ii) cumulative response of physiological markers of energetic rate and inflamm atory reaction and iii) Although no statistical differenc e, we hypothesized that the hormonal behavior, specifically cortisol, may present a correlation wi th competitive success.
Pediatrics in the austere environment

Orthopaedic surgeons are likely to encounter patients in an austere environment during wartime or disaster. Medical teams in charge of pediatric care in these conditions must have an appropriate safety plan in place as well as medical training, medical supplies, and an understanding of the culture and environment in which they will serve. Ethical dilemmas must be anticipated, as providers may encounter times when the type of surgical care they would render in their daily practice is not possible. Care in a resource-constrained environment requires innovation and skill in a way that most surgeons have not had to function. Flexibility and adaptability are necessary to react to the unanticipated challenges that will inevitably occur. Challenges should be approached with preparation, innovation, honesty, and humility, always keeping the best interest of the patient in mind. Treatment in an austere environment is the most demanding yet rewarding experience one may encounter as a medical provider.
Evolutionarily ancient BAH-PHD protein mediates Polycomb silencing

Methylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) is widely recognized as a transcriptionally repressive chromatin modification but the mechanism of repression remains unclear. We devised and implemented a forward genetic scheme to identify factors required for H3K27 methylation-mediated silencing in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa and identified a bromo-adjacent homology (BAH)-plant homeodomain (PHD)-containing protein, EPR-1 (Effector of Polycomb Repression 1; NCU07505). EPR-1 associates with H3K27 methylation in vivo and in vitro, and loss of EPR-1 de-represses H3K27-methylated genes without loss of H3K27 methylation. EPR-1 is not fungal-specific; orthologs of EPR-1 are present in a diverse array of eukaryotic lineages, suggesting an ancestral EPR-1 was a component of a primitive Polycomb repression pathway. Significance Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are employed by a wide variety of eukaryotes for the maintenance of gene repression. Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), a multimeric complex of PcG proteins, catalyzes the methylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27). In the filamentous fungus, Neurospora crassa, H3K27 methylation represses scores of genes, despite the absence of canonical H3K27 methylation effectors that are present in plants and animals. We report the identification and characterization of an H3K27 methylation effector, EPR-1, in N. crassa and demonstrate its widespread presence and early eukaryotic origins with phylogenetic analyses. These findings indicate that an ancient EPR-1 may have been part of a nascent Polycomb repression system in eukaryotes.
Improving pupil diameter measurement accuracy in a remote eye tracking system

Pupil diameter (PD) has been used to track changes in mental effort across a broad range of cognitive tasks for over 60 years. PD is often measured from remote eye tracking systems, which all have the same limitation: the lack of a known reference value to convert the pixels captured within the systems to millimeters. Researchers frequently normalize their data within an individual to overcome this issue, however recent studies have found individual differences in resting PDs. This paper investigated the use of a fiduciary marker of a fixed size and an individual’s interpupillary distance, as known reference values. Both techniques substantially improved the accuracy of PD data compared to the unadjusted system data. Further, the average difference between both techniques and the uncorrected pupil diameter was just under . 4mm, which is approximately the equivalent of most studies finding differences in cognitive load.
Profile of 350 couples attending the Infertility Clinic at P.G. Hospital.

This is a preliminary report on the profile of infertile couples attending the Infertility Clinic of P.G. Hospital from September 1979 to November 1980. 350 infertile couples attended the clinic of which 221 were cas of primary sterility and 129 were cases of secondary sterility of variable duration. The average age of the patients was 26.07 years 34.87 for husbands. 91.71% were Muslims; 42% had education from grades 5-10; and 87.42% were unemployed. 30.85% had been married 5 years or less; 39.14% 6-10 years; and 23.42% 11-15 years. The total number of pregnancies reported by 129 women with secondary sterility was 206 for an average of 1.59. The total wasted pregnancies were 160; the mean number of pregnancy wastage was 1.25. 66% had no living children. Apart from D and C T.T. hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy with chromotubation 30 patients were given surgical treatment for infertility. 6 cases of salpingo-oophorectomy 4 cases of toboplasty 3 reanastomosis of fallopian tubes 2 partial oophorectomy 2 myomectomy 1 wedge resection ovary 9 reanastomosis after sterilization and 3 repair of vaginal or cervical sterosis.

Paradoxes, prices, and preferences : essays on decision making under risk and economic outcomes

This doctoral thesis contains three theoretical essays on the predictive power of leading descriptive decision theories and one empirical essay on the impact of stock market investors’ probability distortion on future economic growth. Chapter 1 provides an extensive summary and motivation of all essays. The first essay (Chapter 2, co-authored with Maik Dierkes) shows that Cumulative Prospect Theory cannot explain both the St. Petersburg paradox and the common ratio version of the Allais paradox simultaneously if probability weighting and value functions are continuous. This result holds independently of parametrizations of the value and probability weighting function. Using both paradoxes as litmus tests, Cumulative Prospect Theory with the majority of popular weighting functions loses its superior predictive power over Expected Utility Theory. However, neo-additive weighting functions (which are discontinuous) do solve the Allais St. Petersburg conflict. The second essay in Chapter 3 (co-authored with Maik Dierkes) shows that Salience Theory explains both a low willingness to pay, for example $7.86 ($12.33), for playing the St. Petersburg lottery truncated at around $1 million ($1 trillion) and reasonable preference reversal probabilities around 0.33 in Allais’ common ratio paradox. Typical calibrations of other prominent theories (for example, Cumulative Prospect Theory or

The topics include: 1. a theory of anomalous magnetotransport from mass anisotropy of the fermions on a Fermi surface; 2. attempts to understand and build a model for magic-angle bilayer graphene; 3. phenomena of dimensional decoupling at various continuous Mott transitions; 4. possible field-induced neutral Fermi surface and QCD3-Chern-Simons quantum criticalities in Kitaev materials; 5. examples showing that the commonly-employed methods for detecting topological orders may generate spurious results; 6. a classification of threedimensional symmetry enriched U(1) quantum spin liquids, and the applications of the ideas therein to study topological crystalline insulators.
Heat Transfer Efficiency Enhancement of Lithium-Ion Battery Packs by Using Novel Design of Herringbone Fins

Battery thermal management system (BTMS) is a hot research area for electric vehicles (EVs). Common BTMS schemes include air cooling, liquid cooling, and phase-change materials (PCMs). Air cooling BTMS is widely used in EVs because of its simplicity, high efficiency, and low cost. However, past air cooling BTMS research focused on inlet flow, air channel design, and battery layout. Few studies have focused on improving the heat transfer efficiency of battery packs. This paper aimed to improve the heat transfer efficiency of air cooling BTMS by using herringbone fins. Both inline and staggered arrangements of lithium-ion cells were considered. Moreover, the effects of transverse pitch, longitudinal pitch, fin height, fin number, and inlet velocity were examined. Installation of herringbone fins with optimal values of parameters caused a decrease in average temperature of cells by 3.687 K in the inline arrangement and 4.15 K in the staggered arrangement. Furthermore, a significant improvement in temperature uniformity was also observed. The simulation results will be helpful for the design of air cooling BTMS.
Evaluation of the role of cyanoacrylate glue in the management of fistula-in-ano

Patients with fistula-in-ano have been found to have a reduced quality of life (QOL), worse in those with recurrent disease and secondary extensions. Various procedures have been advocated and described for the treatment of fistula-in-ano including fistulectomy, fistulotomy and the use of cutting seton. Newer technique like fibrin plug, anal fistula plug, Ligation of Intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT), fistula laser closure (FiLaCTM) and Video Assisted Anal Fistula Treatment (VAAFT) have recently been added to the armamentarium of these treatment options. Surgical treatment of fistula-in-ano is associated with a significance risk of recurrence and a high risk of faecal incontinence due to damage to anal sphincter. The risk of incontinence is associated more with proximal location of the internal opening in the anal canal. ABSTRACT

Um Relato de Experiência sobre o Uso do Pensamento Computacional para Potencializar o Ensino de Ciências na Rede Básica de Ensino

O pensamento computacional é uma habilidade que para que os alunos adquiram é essencial que a mesma esteja aos currículos das disciplinas da escola, especialmente as correspondentes a temas de STEM (Ciência, Tecnologia, Engenharia e Matemática). Atendendo a essa ideia, este trabalho consiste no planejamento e aplicação de atividades pedagógicas com alunos do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública da cidade de Manaus. O principal objetivo foi o de ensinar rudimentos de programação e, ao mesmo tempo, reforçar o estudo de ecologia à disciplina curricular de Ciências Naturais. Para atingir uma abordagem mais rápida com feedback imediato usamos a linguagem de programação Scratch. Os resultados indicaram que existe uma relação positiva entre o ensino de rudimentos (lógica) de programação e o aumento do interesse dos alunos quando se associa um conteúdo tradicional a uma ferramenta tecnológica de ensino.
The effects of ibuprofen on delayed onset muscle soreness

This study investigated the effect of ibuprofen on soreness and performance of a muscle suffering delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). The subjects in this study were college aged women (n=19), randomly assigned to receive either ibuprofen or a placebo. DOMS was induced on one 1eg through a series of eccentric reciprocal exercises for the hamstring and quadricep muscle groups on a Kin-Com, isokinetic exercise testing machine. Strength measurements were taken before and for four days after soreness inducted for bot.h the exercised and unexercised 1eg. In addition to the strengt.h measures, subjects completed pain and perception of performance scales. The data were analyzed using 2 x 5 (group x day) ANOVA with repeated measures on the second factor to examine strength differences. Interpretation of significant findings indicated that the subjects experienced DOMS, however there was no indication that the therapeutic administration of ibuprofen prevented decrements in performance secondary to soreness. Inspection of a significant day effect (p . . 05) revealed that pain was significant on days 2 and 3 for both groups when t.he subjects' responses to the perception of performance and pain scales in relationship to actual performance. A moderate negative correlation for pain scale responses existed, however, therapeutic ibuprofen did not attenuate pain. The reporting differences in the pain scale responses indicates that pain may be a better indicator of change in performance than the perception of performance sca1e. These data il-Iustrate that the daily therapeutic administration of 800 mg of ibuprofen does not reduce pain nor at.Lenuate the decrease in performance that tlpical1y accompanies DOMS. However, pain response as measured by the pain scale in the present. study, may be a good indicator of changes in performance capacity during DOMS.

The building blocks of a brain-inspired computer

Computers have undergone tremendous improvements in performance over the last 60 years, but those improvements have significantly slowed down over the last decade, owing to fundamental limits in the underlying computing primitives. However, the generation of data and demand for computing are increasing exponentially with time. Thus, there is a critical need to invent new computing primitives, both hardware and algorithms, to keep up with the computing demands. The brain is a natural computer that outperforms our best computers in solving certain problems, such as instantly identifying faces or understanding natural language. This realization has led to a flurry of research into neuromorphic or brain-inspired computing that has shown promise for enhanced computing capabilities. This review points to the important primitives of a brain-inspired computer that could drive another decade-long wave of computer engineering.
60-GHz 64- and 256-Element Dual-Polarized Dual-Beam Wafer-Scale Phased-Array Transceivers With Reticle-to-Reticle Stitching

This article presents 60-GHz <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2\times 64$ </tex-math></inline-formula>- and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2 \times 256$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-element dual-polarized dual-beam wafer-scale phased-array transceivers with integrated up/downconverters. The <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2\times 64$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-element phased array is built as a single reticle and occupies <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$21\times21$ </tex-math></inline-formula> mm<sup>2</sup>. It is based on RF beamforming transmit/receive (TRX) channels with 5-bit phase and 9-bit gain control, dual nested 1:64 distribution networks with Wilkinson divider/combiners, line amplifiers (LAs), and dual up/downconverters with a shared local-oscillator (LO) multiplier chain. The differential on-chip antenna feeds are electromagnetically (EM) coupled to a high-efficiency quartz superstrate dipole antenna array placed <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\lambda $ </tex-math></inline-formula>/2 apart in the horizontal and vertical directions. Four <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2\times 64$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-element phased-array reticles are then bondwire-stitched in the intermediate-frequency (IF)/LO domain to form a <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2\times 256$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-element phased-array super-reticle that occupies <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$42\times42$ </tex-math></inline-formula> mm<sup>2</sup>. The <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2\times 64$ </tex-math></inline-formula>- and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2\times 256$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-element phased arrays scan to ±50° in the elevation (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$E$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-plane) and azimuth (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$H$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-plane) planes. The equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) of the <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2\times 64$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-element array is 37–38 dBm with a 3-dB bandwidth of 60–64 GHz, while that of the <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2\times 256$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-element array is 42–44 dBm with a 3-dB bandwidth of 61–63 GHz per polarization. A communication link using the <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2\times 64$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-element array is demonstrated with quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), and 64-QAM waveforms, reaching 12–16-Gb/s data rates per polarization at 1.3 m. To the best of our knowledge, this article presents the first fully polarimetric scalable wafer-scale phased-array transceivers using simple reticle-to-reticle stitching, resulting in the state-of-the-art functionality and complexity on a single chip.
Analysis of Code Blocks for Concern Detection in MATLAB Systems

It is known that the support provided by MATLAB for module decomposition is limited. Such limitations give rise to code symptoms, which can be explored for the development of techniques for the detection of concerns, namely unmodularised concerns. Recent work in the area of concern detection in MATLAB systems identified several recurring code patterns that can be associated to the presence of specific concerns. Some of the concerns detected proved to be unmodularised: they cut across the MATLAB system’s modular decomposition. The techniques already developed for detecting unmodularised concerns in MATLAB systems still lack precision and accuracy. As proposed in previous work, the techniques and tools for pinpointing and representing concern-detection patterns need maturing. This thesis contributes with a more accurate structure for representing MATLAB code bases in an intelligent repository for MATLAB code, developed prior to this work. It perfects the structure representing MATLAB code on which the repository is based, by refining the notion of code block, and collects code patterns found in previous publications aggregating them into a catalogue. Subsequently, a preliminary study is made on the application of codes of blocks for the detection of concerns, validating previous concern related patterns and evaluate the existence of new ones.
The Effect of Financial Constraints on In-Group Bias: Evidence from Rice Farmers in Thailand

In-group bias can be detrimental for communities and economic development. We study the causal effect of financial constraints on in-group bias in prosocial behaviors – cooperation, norm enforcement, and sharing – among low-income rice farmers in rural Thailand, who cultivate and harvest rice once a year. We use a between-subjects design – randomly assigning participants to experiments either before harvest (more financially constrained) or after harvest. Farmers interacted with either in-group or out-group partners at village level. We find that in-group bias in cooperation and norm enforcement exist only after harvest, that is, when people are less financially constrained.
