REDUKSI SERAT DEDAK PADI SEBAGAI MEDIA PEMBUATAN PROTEIN SEL TUNGGAL PAKAN AYAM PETELUR

Pakan ayam petelur yang tersedia dan digunakan oleh peternak saat ini merupakan pakan komersial yang sebagian besar terdiri dari biii-bijian yang bersaing dengan kebutuhan manusia, terutama tepung ikan, kedelai, dan jagung. Sampai saat ini, harga pakan komersial yang terus meningkat karena bahan penyusunnya di atas diimpor menjadi permasalahan utama bagi peternak-peternak kecil. Ketergantungan penuh terhadap pakan komersial dapat mendatangkan kerawanan terhadap kelangsungan produksi telur. Kondisi inilah yang dialami oleh semua peternak ayam petelur maupun ayam pedaging yang tersebar di Pulau Lombok. Optimalisasi pemanfaatan bahan-bahan lokal yang mudah diperoleh dan berharga murah serta tersedia secara kontinyu seperti hasil samping tanaman padi, dedak padi, merupakan langkah strategis yang harus ditempuh untuk mereduksi bahkan menghilangkan ketergantungan di atas. Namun, tingginya kandungan serat dan senyawa antinutrisi (asam pitat) dedak padi menjadi kendala utama pemanfaatanya sebagai pakan ayam petelur maupun ayam pedaging. Untuk itu, melalui kegiatan ini telah dilakukan pelatihan peningkatan kualitas dedak padi menggunakan bakteri Bacillus amyloliquefaciens yang tidak hanya akan meningkatkan kandungan protein dedak padi, namun juga mampu memecah serat (selulosa, hemiselulosa, xylosa dan lain lain) serta senyawa anti nutrisi asam pitat pada limbah pertanian tersebut. Sehingga penggunaan dedak padi tersebut dapat ditingkatkan dalam ransum ayam petelur. Selain untuk memacu pengabdian dosen berbasis permasalahan kongkrit masyarakat, kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pemahaman dan keterarnpilan peternak untuk meningkatkan nutrisi hasil samping dan limbah pertanian guna mendukung penggunaan ransum berbahan baku lokal secara swadaya, tidak tergantung pada pakan komersial, sehingga mandiri secara ekonomi. Hasil akhir yang telah dicapai adalah penggunaan bahan lokal sebagai pakan secara optimal yang akhirnya dapat meningkatkan pendapatan peternak.
Ideas and methods for mechanism research of traditional Chinese medicine processing——Taking coffee beans roasting mechanism research as an example

Chinese medicine processing is the characteristic and advantage of traditional Chinese medicine, which is also an important discipline with independent intellectual property rights in China. To clarify the mechanism of Chinese medicine processing is the key point of Chinese medicine research, which is also the key node of Chinese medicine modernization. The mechanisms of most Chinese medicine processing are unclear at present, which need systematically and deeply research. Coffee bean need to be roasted under high temperature before being made into beverage, which is very similar to Chinese medicine processing. In the recent years, scientists all over the world have done lots of research on chemical changes and mechanisms of coffee bean roasting process under high temperature, and have gained series research achievements in application of these new methods and technologies. These achievements provide many new ideas and methods for mechanism research of Chinese medicine processing, and also provide demonstration for researching and clarifying mechanisms of Chinese medicine processing.
PELVIC TILT: RELIABILITY OF MEASURING THE STANDING POSITION AND RANGE OF MOTION IN ADOLESCENT ATHLETES

Background Standing pelvic posture remains a common assessment in sports therapy. The palpation technique assessing the relative position of the anterior and posterior superior iliac spines is widely used to quantify the asymmetry in pelvic position, but the reliability of this approach in adolescent athletes is not determined. Objective The aim of the present study was to examine the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of palpation meter (PALM) measures for assessing standing pelvic tilt in adolescent athletes. Design Test-retest study. Setting Sports academy physiotherapy laboratory. Participants A group of highly-trained adolescent multi-sport athletes (n=75, age=14.9±1.7 yr) training in a national sports academy. Interventions On two occasions (10 min apart), two physiotherapists took the measurements of standing neutral pelvic tilt, anterior pelvic tilt and posterior pelvic tilt using the PALM. In each position an average of three measurements was taken by each examiner, alternatively for each side. Main outcome measurements: Reliability of standing pelvic tilt measures was assessed by calculating the between-session and the between-physiotherapists differences expressed as Cohen's d and the standard error of measurement (SEM: CV). Results All measured parameters showed good inter-rater and intra-rater reproducibility. The standardized differences between two trials or two physiotherapists was trivial with Cohen's d<0.2 in each case. Most importantly the SEM was low when comparing measurements of neutral and anterior pelvic tilts positions between physiotherapists (CV≤15.8% and CV≤8.8% respectively) and between sessions (CV≤14.0% % and CV≤7.3% respectively), but not regarding posterior tilt position (CV≥38.9% between physiotherapists and CV≥24.8% between sessions). Conclusions The present method for assessing neutral and anterior standing pelvic tilt measurements has a good reliability level and may integrate longitudinal screening and clinical examination routines in young athletes. However, posterior pelvic tilt measurements should be cautiously interpreted due to lower measurements' reliability.
Study of Antituberculous Medications in Anthracofibrosis.

Purpose : An anthracofibrosis(AF), dark multiple anthracotic pigmentations combined with narrowing and obstruction of bronchi, was reported to be strongly related with past and active pulmonary tuberculosis. This study was performed to determine whether anti-tuberculous regiemens would be helpful in patients with anthracofibrosis who failed to demonstrate the evidences of pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods : Twenty-two patients with multiple anthracotic pigmentations in bronchial mucosa with luminal narrowing were enrolled in this study. The bacteriological and histological findings for Mycobacterium tuberculosis was reviwed in each patients. They are composed of 8 males and 14 females ranging from 55 to 85 years old in age. Results: The most common symptoms were coughing(73%, 16/22), followed by sputum(41%, 9/22), dyspnea on exertion(32%, 7/22), and hemoptysis(27%, 6/22). The evidence of pulmonary tuberculosis, defined by positive AFB smear or culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from sputum or bronchial washing fluid or histological findings of granuloma with caseous necrosis, were found in eleven patients(50%) and the others has showed no evidences. Among 11 patients without pulmonary tuberculosis, only one patient showed the evidences of pulmonary tuberculosis after 16 months, and the 8 patients still showed no evidence of pulmonary tuberculosis during follow-up periods of ranging from 8 months to 60 months. Conclusions : Beause the anthracofibrosis is closely related to tuberculosis, it needs to find out extensively the evidences of tuberculosis in patients with anthracofibrosis. Chemotherapy for tuberculosis should be administrated only with confirmation of tuberculosis on bacteriologic study.

Le Nom et le Nombre. Entre grammaire cognitive et psychoméchanique du langage

"Number is the most underestimated of the grammatical categories. It is deceptively simple, and is much more interesting and varied than most linguists realise. " Cette appreciation, tout a fait juste, que Greville Corbett avait placee, il n’y a guere, a l’ouverture de son ouvrage bien connu (Corbett 2000: 1), convient a merveille pour introduire les reflexions qu’on va lire. Celles-ci emanent d’un linguiste comparatiste, latiniste et romaniste, intervenant ici, il est bon de le preciser, en observateur exterieur a la problematique de la cognition en general, et a celle de la grammaire cognitive en particulier. Mais un observateur engage tout de meme, et, pourquoi le cacher, quelque peu intrigue par l’interet que manifestent certains tenants de la psychomecanique du langage, discipline a laquelle il se rattache lui-meme, pour une demarche mentaliste ou ils croient reconnaitre certaines de leurs propres preoccupations.
Phase I and pharmacokinetic study of intravenous irinotecan plus oral ciclosporin in patients with fuorouracil-refractory metastatic colon cancer.

PURPOSE To assess the safety and toxicity profile of escalating doses of intravenous irinotecan, in combination with a fixed dose of oral ciclosporin (Cs) and to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of irinotecan and its metabolites. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with fluorouracil-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer received escalating doses of intravenous irinotecan from 40 to 125 mg/m(2) every 2 weeks in combination with a fixed dose of oral Cs (5 mg/kg bid for 3 days). Pharmacokinetic analysis of plasma irinotecan and its metabolites SN38 and SN38G was performed during paired cycles with and without Cs. RESULTS Thirty-seven patients were treated. Dose-limiting toxicity of grade 4 neutropenia was seen at an irinotecan dose of 125 mg/m(2). There was no grade 4 diarrhea, and only one patient experienced grade 3 diarrhea. Toxicities caused by Cs were generally mild. Pharmacokinetic studies demonstrated that irinotecan clearance was reduced from 13.4 to 5.8 L/h/m(2) and area under the curve (AUC)(0-tn) was increased 2.2-fold by the coadministration of Cs. Similar significant increases in AUC(0-24h) were seen for both SN38 and SN38G (2.2-fold and 2.3-fold, respectively) in the presence of Cs. Antitumor activity was seen at every irinotecan dose level. CONCLUSION The maximum tolerated irinotecan dose and recommended dose for phase II studies is 100 mg/m(2) every 2 weeks. Dose-limiting diarrhea was not seen during this study, supporting the hypothesis that pharmacokinetic modulation of irinotecan by Cs may improve its therapeutic index. Further studies using this combination are warranted.

Dependency-driven Parallel Programming

With the appearance of low-cost, highly parallel hardware architectures, software portability between such architectures is in grea t demand. Software design lacks programming models to keep up with the continually increasing parallelism of today’s hardware. This setting calls for alt ernative thinking in programming. When a computation has a static data-dependency pattern, extracting this pattern as a separate entity in a programmin g language, one can reformulate the computations. As a consequence, data-dependencies become active participants in the problem solving code. This allows us to deal with parallelism at a high-level. Data-dependency abstractions facilitate the mapping of computations to different hardware architecture without the need of rewriting the problem solving code. This in turn addresses portability and reusability issues.
The Effects of Massage Therapy by the Patient’s Relative on Vital Signs of Males Admitted in Critical Care Unit

Background: Changes in vital signs may affect the myocardial oxygen demand. Massage therapy has been used in intensive care units to relive patients’ physical and psychological problems. In all of the studies massaging has been done by a nurse and the patients’ family did not have any role. Objectives: The present study aimed to examine the effects of massage therapy by patient’s relative on vital signs of patients with acute coronary syndrome and acute myocardial infarction. Patients and Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 60 male patients hospitalized in coronary care units. In the intervention group, massage therapy was done by one of the patient’s male relatives on the third day of admission. The control group only received the routine care. Vital signs were recorded before and after the massage therapy session. SPSS 11.5 software was employed to analyze data using qui-square, Fischer exact test, independent t-test, paired t-test and descriptive statistics. Results: The pre intervention mean of systolic blood pressure of the intervention group were 126.36 ± 16.80 and changed to 121.70 ± 13.31 after the massage therapy session (P = 0.021). The mean pulse rate of the intervention group was 79.46 ± 10.41 and reached 69.30 ± 9.47 after the intervention (P = 0.001). The mean respiration rate of the intervention group also decreased after massage (P = 0.001). No significant changes were observed in diastolic blood pressure and temperature of the intervention group. No significant changes were observed in vital signs of the control group either. Conclusions: Massage therapy by the patients’ relative, decreased systolic blood pressure, pulse and respiration rates of patients admitted in critical care Unite (CCU). Because of the useful effects of those changes, it can be recommended that massage therapy by a member of the patient’s family be used to balance vital signs of patients admitted in CCU. This study was registered at Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT). The registration number of the study is IRCT201112048296N1. Published by Kowsar Corp, 2012. cc 3.0.
A Rare Case of Scalp Aplasia Cutis Congenita in a Zimbabwean Child

Skull and scalp defects can be a challenge in the pediatric population. They predispose to meningitis and at times catastrophic exsanguination. Aplasia Cutis Congenita is a very rare condition resulting in a variable degree of absence of epidermis and dermis. It can be associated with skull defects especially the parietal vertex. We report a case managed at our hospital of a 2 week old Zimbabwean baby with a scalp and bi-parietal bone defect present at birth. He had no other congenital anomalies. Our case was managed by rotational pedicled flap to cover the skull defect. Various methods to close the skull defects have been highlighted in literature. These may include either split skin graft or full thickness graft especially if the pericranium is viable for nutritional support. Subgaleal scoring with flap advancement can also be employed by making longitudinal incisions perpendicular to the direction of advancement. Rotational flaps are especially useful in parieto-occipital lesions like our case. Patient factors for example size of defect, location and associated skull defects determine the optimal option to be used. Aplasia Cutis Congenita is therefore a rare condition which needs a multimodal approach. Lesions above 2 cm in greatest diameter and associated skull defects should have early surgery to avoid complications like infections and hemorrhage.
Channel Prediction for Mobile MIMO Wireless Communication Systems

Temporal variation and frequency selectivity of wireless channels constitute a major drawback to the attainment of high gains in capacity and reliability offered by multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver of a mobile communication system. Limited feedback and adaptive transmission schemes such as adaptive modulation and coding, antenna selection, power allocation and scheduling have the potential to provide the platform of attaining the high transmission rate, capacity and QoS requirements in current and future wireless communication systems. Theses schemes require both the transmitter and receiver to have accurate knowledge of Channel State Information (CSI). In Time Division Duplex (TDD) systems, CSI at the transmitter can be obtained using channel reciprocity. In Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) systems, however, CSI is typically estimated at the receiver and fed back to the transmitter via a low-rate feedback link. Due to the inherent time delays in estimation, processing and feedback, the CSI obtained from the receiver may become outdated before its actual usage at the transmitter. This results in significant performance loss, especially in high mobility environments. There is therefore a need to extrapolate the varying channel into the future, far enough to account for the delay and mitigate the performance degradation. The research in this thesis investigates parametric modeling and prediction of mobile MIMO channels for both narrowband and wideband systems. The focus is on schemes that utilize the additional spatial information offered by multiple sampling of the wave-field in multi-antenna systems to aid channel prediction. The research has led to the development of several algorithms which can be used for long range extrapolation of time-varyingchannels. Based on spatial channel modeling approaches, simple and efficient methods for the extrapolation of narrowband MIMO channels are proposed. Various extensions were also developed. These include methods for wideband channels, transmission using polarized antenna arrays, and mobile-to-mobile systems. Performance bounds on the estimation and prediction error are vital when evaluating channel estimation and prediction schemes. For this purpose, analytical expressions for bound on the estimation and prediction of polarized and non-polarized MIMO channels are derived. Using the vector formulation of the Cramer Rao bound for function of parameters, readily interpretable closed-form expressions for the prediction error bounds were found for cases with Uniform Linear Array (ULA) and Uniform Planar Array (UPA). The derived performance bounds are very simple and so provide insight into system design. The performance of the proposed algorithms was evaluated using standardized channel models. The effects of the temporal variation of multipath parameters on prediction is studied and methods for jointly tracking the channel parameters are developed. The algorithms presented can be utilized to enhance the performance of limited feedback and adaptive MIMO transmission schemes.
The Caseta and the Interior in Seville's Ephemeral City

ABSTRACT For one week every April, the Andalusian city of Seville shifts its activity from the commercial hub of the historic center for the annual festivities of the spring fair, Feria de Abril. The Feria sees a 100-hectare dusty plateau near the Guadalquivir River transform into an ephemeral, tent-like city of lanterns, light bulbs, and candy-striped tarpaulins. Over 1,000 privately controlled temporary structures–casetas–form the blocks and street of the festive city's urban layout. The party town is erected, enacted, and demounted in just over a week; part of an annual cycle of expectation, becoming, and nostalgia. The sole programmatic function of the interior of the caseta is to support the convivial acts of socializing, eating, drinking, and dancing: forging new social networks and simultaneously reinforcing established hierarchies of class, status, and family. While the exterior appearance of the casetas is controlled by strict aesthetic guidelines imposed by the city council, the interior reflects a varied interpretation of the caseta typology, merging and inverting interior and exterior, profane and sacred. The interiors make manifest and celebrate the agricultural origins of the fair and the contradictions inherent within the city/country sophisticated/rustic encounter: rich damasks, velvets and lace, gilt mirrors contrasted with folkloric-inspired rush mat furniture, paper lanterns, and carnations. The ephemeral ludic city mirrors the urban and social constructs of the “permanent” city on the other side of the river; here, however, the festive interior of the caseta permits a greater degree of porosity and social mobility than could ever be possible between the thick masonry walls of the noble palaces and the concrete blocks of the housing estates. Ephemeral constructions, spatial inversion, and displacement executed within the controlled liminal contexts of festivities have long been a tradition of Andalusian culture, reaching their artistic zenith during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Through an analysis of the development of the caseta's interior from its origins as a replication of a domestic reception room to the contemporary state of hyper-baroque party hall, it will be argued that the interior of the caseta acts as symbolic and programmatic motor of the festive construction of space within the ephemeral city of the Feria.
The effect of massage therapy on chronic pain associated with spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia

Objective: This study was used to explore and provide insight into the use of massage therapy on congenital skeletal dysplasias. It was specifically aimed at symptomatic relief of chronic pain of soft tissues and affected bony structures associated with spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia. Methods: Five treatments of one-hour duration over the course of eighteen days took place with a 15-year-old female highschool student. Identical protocol was followed in each treatment, focusing specifically on Swedish techniques, diaphragmatic breathing, grade one joint mobilizations, passive range of motion, and passive stretching. The focus was on musculature of the posterior thorax, particularly in the concavities of scoliotic curves, as well as the lower extremities. Results: The subject experienced a significant decrease in full body pain over the course of the study. Costal expansion of the lower ribs increased by 3/8”. The left leg pre-study was measured at 24” and was measured at 25 1⁄4” at the completion of the study. Right leg remained consistent at 25”. Following the study the patient was no longer using a wheelchair as primary transportation while at school for the first time since 2006. Conclusion: Massage therapy is an effective treatment option for symptomatic relief related to skeletal dysplasias. When used in conjunction with vital medical and surgical interventions massage may be of most benefit, providing SEMD patients with the optimal amount of relief in their daily lives.
