Implementation of Organization Value on Staff’s Performance at Bank Negara Library

This study analyzes the implementation of organization value in Bank Negara Library that impacts the performance of library staff in serving the users. The purpose of this study is to identify how the implementation of Bank Negara's organizational value to the performance of the Bank Negara Library’s staff. This research uses the qualitative approach with the case study method. The data collection techniques are through interviews, observation, and document analysis. The result of the research is the implementation of Bank Negara's strategic values can be seen as its positive impact on the activity of managing the relationship internally among Bank Negara employees. However, in terms of building a relationship between the Bank Negara library's staff and the users, the strategic values are still not fully implemented. The findings show that the implementation of the strategic values of Bank Negara in serving the users needs to be improved, especially in realizing the excellent service to the users. The strategic value of the organization will be embedded in the employees if the value can be applied in daily activities such as a reward for staff who have implemented the value in carrying out their duties. This study aims to see the between and organizational in staff commitment within the The study uses a quantitative approach. The study results show that organizational commitment can be built effectively within an individual if the individual's values have good embedded values such as namely openness, honesty, logic, and moral integrity. The next study is research entitled "The Different-Culture Management in Mergers and Acquisitions Affecting the Fit of Personal Organizational Values and Business Performance," written by [5]Chang (2018). The study results show when organizational values are by the personal values, it will have an impact on better organizational staff performance. The difference between this research and previous research is that this study uses a qualitative approach. This research locus is in the library unit and aims to identify the application of the organization's value to the performance of the library staff.
Presence of anti-Leptospira spp. antibodies in captive yellow-spotted river turtles (Podocnemis unifilis) in the Eastern Amazon

ABSTRACT: We describe anti-Leptospira spp. agglutinin in yellow-spotted river turtles (Podocnemis unifilis)in the Amazon region. Ninety-eight serum samples from individuals housed at the Bosque Rodrigues Alves Zoobotanical Garden of Amazonia, Belém, PA, Brazil, were subject to the microscopic agglutination test (MAT) using 19 different Leptospira spp. antigen serogroups. Thirty-four of the 98 samples (35%) were reactive, with titers ranging from 100 to 3200, and eight 8 reactive samples (23.5%) co-agglutinated under two or more serovars.The most common serogroup was Hebdomadis (26.9%, 7/26), followed by Semaranga (23%, 6/26), Shermani (19.2%, 5/26), Djasiman (11.5%, 3/26), and Australis (7.7%, 2/26); Bataviae, Javanica, and Sejroewere represented by a single sample each (3.9%). The presence of turtles reactive to anti-Leptospira spp. antibodies implies exposure to the pathogen.
Características maternas asociadas al diagnóstico de macrosomía fetal en un hospital III-1 de la capital de Perú

Objective: To identify the maternal characteristics associated with the diagnosis of fetal macrosomia at Sergio E. Bernales Hospital from January to December 2018. Methods: An observational, analytical, retrospective, case-control study was carried out. The population studied was pregnant women with a diagnosis of fetal macrosomia treated in the gynecoobstetrics service of Sergio E. Bernales Hospital from January to December 2018. Through a data collection sheet, the information from the medical records was extracted; the data was then processed according to the IBM SPSS Statistics v25 program. Results: Of 532 patients studied, 133 cases and 399 controls were obtained. Maternal age varies between 14 and 45 years (average age of 27.01). A statistically significant association was found between fetal macrosomia and the following variables: post-term pregnancy (OR = 13.613 95% CI 2.901-63.891), gestational diabetes (OR 5.7 IC95% 2.5 -12.7), excessive weight gain (OR 1.833 95% CI 1.154-2,911), sex of the newborn (OR 1.83 95% CI 1.2-2.7) and age of the mother (OR 1.7 95% CI 1.0-2.9). When performing the multivariate analysis, no association was found with the variables age of the mother (P = 0.228, OR 1.510 95% CI 0.773-2.950) and BMI (P = 0.331, OR 0.740 95% CI 0.403-1.358), so they were considered confusing variables. Conclusion: The maternal characteristics associated with the diagnosis of fetal macrosomia are post-term delivery, gestational diabetes, excessive weight gain and sex of the newborn.
Acute response of biochemical bone turnover markers and the associated ground reaction forces to high-impact exercise in postmenopausal women

The aim of the study was to examine the acute response of biochemical bone turnover markers (BTM) to high-impact jumping exercise, and to quantify the ground reaction forces (GRF) achieved during each jumping exercise, in postmenopausal women. In a randomized controlled cross-over study over three days, 29 postmenopausal women (age (mean±SD): 60.0±5.6 years) were randomly assigned to 6 x 10 repetitions of three different jumps: countermovement jump (CMJ), drop jump (DJ), diagonal drop jump (DDJ). A fourth day without jumping served as a control (CON). Blood samples were collected before (PRE), after (POST), and 2 hours after (2Hr) exercise. Bone turnover was evaluated by bone formation markers (procollagen type-1 amino-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and osteocalcin (OC)) and the bone resorption marker C-terminal telopeptide of type-1 collagen (CTX). Peak anteroposterior (Fx), mediolateral (Fy), and vertical (Fz) GRF were measured using a force platform. From PRE to POST, P1NP increased (p<0.01) by 7.7±1.8%, 9.4±1.3%, and 10.6±1.6% for CMJ, DJ, and DDJ, which were higher (p<0.01) than CON. OC increased (p<0.05) by 5.5±1.8% for DJ, which was higher (p<0.05) than CON. CTX was not significantly changed at POST. There were no significant differences in BTM Δ-values between the jumps at any time point. For the CMJ, the combined three-axis peak GRF was positively associated with the PRE to POST Δ-change in P1NP (r=0.71, p<0.05). The acute, jumping-induced increase in P1NP and OC without any rise in CTX may indicate increased bone formation. Moreover, the study shows a dose-response relationship between GRF and the acute P1NP response after countermovement jumps.
CD36 (SR-B2) as a Target to Treat Lipid Overload-Induced Cardiac Dysfunction

The heart faces the challenge of adjusting the rate of fatty acid uptake to match myocardial demand for energy provision at any given moment, avoiding both too low uptake rates, which could elicit an energy deficit, and too high uptake rates, which pose the risk of excess lipid accumulation and lipotoxicity. The transmembrane glycoprotein cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36), a scavenger receptor (B2), serves many functions in lipid metabolism and signaling. In the heart, CD36 is the main sarcolemmal lipid transporter involved in the rate-limiting kinetic step in cardiac lipid utilization. The cellular fatty acid uptake rate is determined by the presence of CD36 at the cell surface, which is regulated by subcellular vesicular recycling from endosomes to the sarcolemma. CD36 has been implicated in dysregulated fatty acid and lipid metabolism in pathophysiological conditions, particularly high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Thus, in conditions of chronic lipid overload, high levels of CD36 are moved to the sarcolemma, setting the heart on a route towards increased lipid uptake, excessive lipid accumulation, insulin resistance, and eventually contractile dysfunction. Insight into the subcellular trafficking machinery of CD36 will provide novel targets to treat the lipid-overloaded heart. A screen for CD36-dedicated trafficking proteins found that vacuolar-type H+-ATPase and specific vesicle-associated membrane proteins, among others, were uniquely involved in CD36 recycling. Preliminary data suggest that these proteins may offer clues on how to manipulate myocardial lipid uptake, and thus could be promising targets for metabolic intervention therapy to treat the failing heart.
Food habits and obesity: a study in adolescents

Background: In India under nutrition was common but off late overweight and obesity, the diseases of over nutrition, has gained a foothold. Methods: This is a cross sectional study done in schools of Greater Noida city to see the food habits of adolescents and assess its impact on health in terms of being overweight and obesity. A total of 600 school children were included in the study. 4.0% (24) students were found to be obese while 12.8% (77) were overweight. Results: In this study, boys were more commonly overweight (44 out of 353, 7.3%) than girls (33 out of 247, 5.5%) while obesity prevalence was comparable in both the sexes (11 out of 353 i.e. 1.8% in boys and 13 out of 247 i.e. 2.1% in girls). Conclusions: Pearson’s correlation shows that BMI is significantly related to all the asked dietary habits at 0.05 levels and it is the frequency of having meals outside or skipping breakfast that is important.
Experimenting with Public Engagement Platforms in Local Government

Cities are venues for experimentation with technology (e.g., smart cities) and democratic governance. At the intersection of both trends is the emergence of new online platforms for citizen engagement. There is little evidence to date on the extent to which these are being used or the characteristics associated with adopters at the leading edge. With rich data on civic engagement and innovation from a 2016 International City/County Management Association (ICMA) survey, we explore platform use in U.S. local governments and relationships with offline civic engagement, innovation, and local characteristics. We find that use of online participatory platforms is associated with offline participation, goals for civic engagement, and city size, rather than evidence that this is related to a more general orientation toward innovation.
Laser de baixa potência na periodontia: uma revisão do estado atual do conhecimento

A utilizacao da energia luminosa para fins terapeuticos vem desde os primordios da civilizacao. Existem registros de que na Idade Media, a exposicao a luz solar era utilizada na tentativa de combater a peste bubonica. Em 1917, os principios que justificavam este tipo de tratamento foram propostos por Albert Einstein, o qual descreveu a teoria dos quanta, que explicava pela primeira vez a teoria da emissao estimulada de fotons, ou seja, como um atomo poderia produzir energia. Em 1960, o fisico Maiman baseado na teoria descrita por Einstein, obteve a emissao estimulada de radiacao no espectro visivel de um cristal de rubi com intensos pulsos luminosos. A partir desse achado, os aparelhos passaram a ser chamados de Laser, acronimo da lingua inglesa Light Amplification of Stimulated Emission of Radiation (Varandas et al., 2000; Sanchez M., 2007). Em 1965, Sinclair e Knoll criaram o aparelho de laser com efeito de bioestimulacao dos tecidos, o chamado laser terapeutico ou laser de baixa potencia. (Mester et al., 1985) Os lasers sao divididos em duas categorias principais: os de alta e os de baixa potencia. Os aparelhos com a capacidade de imunomodulacao sao os de baixa potencia que tem a capacidade de penetrar os tecidos sem causar alteracoes em sua estrutura ou morfologia, enquanto que os lasers de alta potencia modificam estruturas duras e moles. (Lins et al., 2011) O uso do laser de baixa potencia como instrumento terapeutico vem sendo amplamente incorporado na medicina e na odontologia, pois este tem se mostrado um importante auxiliar no tratamento de processos inflamatorios para reparo de feridas cutâneas, musculos, tendoes e ligamentos. Os efeitos terapeuticos do laser sao amplos e destacam-se os reparativos, anti-inflamatorios e analgesicos (Reddy et al., 2003; Silva et al., 2010; Alves et al., 2011) Na Odontologia, em particular na Periodontia, a laserterapia vem se mostrando como mais uma ferramenta no tratamento periodontal tanto na tentativa de eliminacao da causa da doenca, como na modulacao da inflamacao. Esse artigo tem como objetivo uma revisao dos LASER DE BAIXA POTENCIA NA PERIODONTIA: UMA REVISAO DO ESTADO ATUAL DO CONHECIMENTO Low power laser in periodontics: a review of knowledge of the current state of knowledge
Response to Anthracnose and Germination Rate of Colletotrichum Sublineola Acervuli of Greenhouse-Grown Sorghum

Colletotrichum sublineola, the causal agent of sorghum anthracnose, infects all above ground parts of the crop. The most pronounced phase of the disease is its foliar phase. In this study, 10 sorghum lines with checks were evaluated in the greenhouse for resistance against C. sublineola. Acervuli germination rate within infected leaves was also recorded. All the 10 sorghum lines along with checks BTX623, TAM428, and PI609251 were susceptible and as expected, SC748 was resistant. Variation among the lines for acervuli germination rate was observed; TAM428 and 1110248 recorded the highest percentage (98.3%) while PI609251 exhibited the lowest rate of acervuli germination (33.3%). Conidia produced from germinating acervuli are critical to the distribution and spread of the disease. However, conidia produced within the acervuli do not usually germinate due to the presence of self-inhibitor compounds. Thus, these self-inhibitors that may occur in the acervuli could explain the difference in levels of susceptibility among sorghum germplasm.
Frictional Strengths of Subduction Thrust Rocks in the Region of Shallow Slow Earthquakes

Earthquakes are expected to nucleate within velocity‐weakening materials; however, at the updip limit of the subduction seismogenic zone, the principal lithologies exhibit velocity‐strengthening behavior. At an exhumed analogue for present‐day subduction at Nankai (the Mugi Mélange, Japan) two examples of paleoseismic features occur within altered basalts, suggesting that they may be velocity‐weakening. We shear altered basalt and shale matrix from the mélange in the triaxial saw cut configuration at in situ conditions of deformation (Pc = 120 MPa, T = 150 °C) for two pore fluid factors (λ = 0.36, 0.7). The shale matrix exhibits a coefficient of friction between 0.4 and 0.5, and velocity‐strengthening behavior. Altered basalt exhibits Byerlee friction and velocity‐weakening behavior. In most experiments deformation was partitioned into Riedel shears, which have a lower percentage of clasts, clast size distributions with higher fractal dimensions, and shape factors indicating rounder clasts compared to the matrix between Riedel shears. We hypothesize that earthquakes preferentially nucleate within altered basalt at the updip limit of the seismogenic zone. More complex forms of deformation (e.g., shallow very low frequency earthquakes) may occur by mixing velocity‐weakening altered basalt into the velocity‐strengthening shale matrix. In subduction zones where the matrix is composed of shale, this complex behavior is limited to shallow depths (T < ~250 °C), above the updip transition to velocity‐weakening behavior for the matrix. Altered basalt is a ubiquitous subducting material, and future studies on its behavior through a range of subduction zone conditions are required for a full understanding of the mechanical behavior of subduction zones.
Improvements to a smooth particle hydrodynamics simulator for investigating submarine landslide generated waves

Submarine landslides can exhibit complex rheologies, including a finite yield stress and shear thinning, yet are often simulated numerically using a Newtonian fluid rheology and simplistic boundary conditions. Here we present improvements made to a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics simulator to allow the accurate simulation of submarine landslide generated waves. The improvements include the addition of Bingham and Herschel‐Bulkley rheologies, which better simulate the behavior of submarine mudflows. The interaction between the base of the slide and the slope is represented more accurately through the use of a viscous stress boundary condition. This condition treats the interface between the seafloor and the slide as a fluid boundary layer with a user‐defined viscosity and length scale. Modifications to the pressure and density calculations are described that improve their stability for landslide generated wave scenarios. An option for pressure decomposition is introduced to prevent particle locking under high pressure. This facilitates the application of this simulator to landslide scenarios beneath significant water depths. Additional modifications to the reaveraging and renormalization routines improve the stability of the free surface and fluid density. We present the mathematical formulations of these improvements alongside commentary on their performance and applicability to landslide generated wave modeling. The modifications are verified against analytical fluid flow solutions and a wave generation experiment.
Dynamics analysis of chaotic maps: From perspective on parameter estimation by meta-heuristic algorithm

Chaotic encryption is one of hot topics in cryptography, which has received increasing attention. Among many encryption methods, chaotic map is employed as an important source of pseudo-random numbers (PRNS). Although the randomness and the butterfly effect of chaotic map make the generated sequence look very confused, its essence is still the deterministic behavior generated by a set of deterministic parameters. Therefore, the unceasing improved parameter estimation technology becomes one of potential threats for chaotic encryption, enhancing the attacking effect of the deciphering methods. In this paper, for better analyzing the cryptography, we focus on investigating the condition of chaotic maps to resist parameter estimation. An improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm is introduced as the estimation method. Furthermore, a new piecewise principle is proposed for increasing estimation precision. Detailed experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the new estimation principle, and some new requirements are summarized for a secure chaotic encryption system.

Management Non-healing Trophic Ulcer in a Leprosy Patient with Combination of Injection and Topical Platelet Rich Plasma

Introduction: Trophic ulcer is one of the leprosy sequelae due to peripheral neuropathy. Trophic ulcers in leprosy patients can pose a significant stigma to the patients and remain challenging to clinicians due to the low response to treatment. Recent studies have reported the effectiveness of Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the management of chronic ulcers. This study reports a case of nonhealing trophic ulcers in leprosy patients treated with a combination of injection and topical PRP. Case Presentation: A 61-year-old female patient referred to complaining of a non-healing wound in her right foot since two months ago. She was a leprosy patient with already finished medication since 19 years ago. She treated the wound with sodium chloride compress and gentamycin ointment without any improvement. The general status was in normal condition. Skin examination on the right plantar pedis showed a solitary ulcer sized 1×0.5×0.3 cm and linear ulcer sized 2.5× 3×0.3 cm with callus in the surrounding. The sensoric test with Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments (SWM) showed decreased sensory in magenta monofilament (300 g). The whole blood test, blood glucose, renal function, and kidney function showed no abnormality. Gram examination from the base of the ulcer showed no bacteria. We diagnosed a trophic ulcer and treated it with a combination of injection and topical PRP every week. The clinical result showed that the ulcer completely healed in four weeks of PRP treatment and no side effect appeared during treatment. Conclusions: A combination of injection and topical PRP showed to be promising in the management of non-healing trophic ulcers in leprosy patients. It is a simple, safe, and cost-effective in-office procedure and can improve the patient’s quality of life.
