THE CONCEPT OF CAPITAL CITY IN KAKAWIN NAGARAKERTAGAMA: CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE TOWARDS THE INDONESIA CAPITAL CITY RELOCATION MASTER PLAN

Indonesian government has officially announced the long-term decision to relocate the capital city from Jakarta to East Kalimantan, specifically in the districts of Penajam Paser Utara and Kutai Kertanegara. The announcement invites scholars and experts to deliver their opinions and conduct studies using several perspectives: politics, government, social, economics, and culture. This article aims at observing the Indonesian government masterplan to relocate the capital city from cultural perspective, specifically Javanese, by revealing the characteristics and concepts of capital city depicted in an Old Javanese literary work, Kakawin Nagarakertagama by Mpu Prapanca. Qualitative content analysis is applied in this study to interpret the research data. Research results showed that Kakawin Nagarakertagama contains cultural concepts and traditional values suitable to the development of a new capital city: (1) capital city as the center of civilization, (2) spatial management, and (3) resource management. This article concludes that those concepts are relevant to support the development of a capital city as the center of human civilization and the reflection of a developed nation.

Application of prophylactic vaccines in the elderly

Produženje ljudskog veka i povećanje broja starih (stariji od 65 godina) na svetskom nivou nosi sa sobom izazove za javno-zdravstveni sistem jer se radi o populaciji podložnoj infektivnim bolestima. Vakcinacija je jedan od načina prevencije ovih bolesti. U cilju poboljšanja kvaliteta života, smanjenja komplikacija bolesti, hospitalizacija i mortaliteta starih, mnoge evropske države i Sjedinjene Američke Države, kod starih osoba, preporučuju vakcinaciju protiv gripa, pneumokoka, varičela-zoster virusa (VZV), kao i „booster” vakcinacije protiv tetanusa, pertusisa i difterije. Razlog veće podložnosti infektivnim bolestima i manjoj efikasnosti vakcina kod starih su starenjem uslovljene promene koje pogađaju imunski sistem, a koje utiču na njegovu funkciju. Sezonska vakcina protiv gripa se u većini evropskih zemalja preporučuje starijima od 65 godina. Budući da je njena efikasnost niža kod starih nego kod odraslih osoba, razvijaju se strategije koje bi prevazišle ovaj problem (uključivanje adjuvansa u formulaciju, povećanje doze, promena puta unošenja antigena, razvoj vektorskih vakcina). Protiv pneumokoka su dostupne polisaharidna i konjugovana vakcina, a podaci o njihovoj efikasnosti su nekonzistentni. Vakcina protiv VZV je atenuisana, živa vakcina i pokazala se efikasna u smanjenju incidencije herpes zostera i post-herpetične neuralgije. Podizanje svesti o značaju vakcinacije starih osoba i razvoj vakcina prilagođenih ovoj populaciji su od velikog značaja za očuvanje njihovog zdravlja.
Mastocyty i ich znaczenie w procesach odpornościowych i nowotworowych

Mastocyty (komorki tuczne), zaliczane do ukladu odporności wrodzonej, są komorkami wielofunkcyjnymi. Uczestniczą nie tylko w reakcjach alergicznych, lecz takze odgrywają istotną role w procesach zapalnych, w odporności nabytej oraz wykazują aktywnośc anty- i pronowotworową. Mastocyty (zwane tez leukocytami tkankowymi) pochodzą od macierzystej komorki krwiotworczej. Ze szpiku do krwi przechodzą w formie niedojrzalej, a dojrzalośc, o ktorej świadczy obecnośc licznych ziaren w cytoplazmie, osiągają w docelowej tkance. Udzial mastocytow w procesach odpornościowych warunkuje ich immunofenotyp z ekspresją wielu receptorow, z ktorych najwazniejsze to FceR1 dla IgE, c-Kit dla czynnika komorek macierzystych SCF oraz Toll-like (TLR) dla patogenow bakteryjnych. Aktywacja mastocytow rozpoczyna proces degranulacji i uwalnianie z ziaren zawartych w nich lub syntetyzowanych de novo substancji: histaminy, heparyny, proteaz, leukotrienow i cytokin/chemokin. Proces degranulacji zachodzi glownie drogą egzocytozy przy udziale kompleksu bialek SNARE lub drogą wydzielania pecherzykow zwanych egzosomami. Udzial mastocytow w odporności wrodzonej polega na rozpoznawaniu patogenow bakteryjnych poprzez receptory TLR i CD48, a nastepnie ich likwidacji. W odporności nabytej mastocyty odgrywają role immunomodulatora procesow, indukując limfocyty Treg oraz dzialając jako „nieklasyczne” komorki prezentujące antygen limfocytom T. Mastocyty wykazują aktywnośc antynowotworową (m.in. wydzielają TNF-a) oraz pronowotworową: uczestniczą w neoangiogenezie i wplywają supresyjnie na uklad odpornościowy, wspoldzialając miedzy innymi z komorkami Treg. Komorki te mogą wykazywac zaburzenia proliferacji, ktore skutkują zwiekszeniem ich liczby i powstaniem mastocytozy ukladowej w wielu narządach. Szczegolną formą mastocytozy jest bialaczka mastocytowa.
Strongly Emissive Lead‐Free 0D Cs3Cu2I5 Perovskites Synthesized by a Room Temperature Solvent Evaporation Crystallization for Down‐Conversion Light‐Emitting Devices and Fluorescent Inks

Lead‐free 0D metal halide perovskites are emerging environmentally friendly materials exhibiting large exciton binding energy, which have recently attracted great attention for their excellent light emission properties and favorable stability. Herein, solvent evaporation crystallization at room temperature is adopted to fabricate 0D Cs3Cu2I5 perovskite millimeter‐sized crystals, which show strong blue photoluminescence (PL) with quantum yield of up to 89%, a large Stockes shift and long (microsecond) PL lifetime, originating from self‐trapped excitons. UV pumped light‐emitting diodes are demonstrated by using Cs3Cu2I5 powder as a solid‐state phosphor, and the precursor solution of these perovskite crystals is used as a fluorescent ink. Furthermore, blue‐emitting composite Cs3Cu2I5/polyvinylidene fluoride films are produced by spin coating through the solvent evaporation and followed patterning using a direct laser writing technology, which are potentially useful for displays. Finally, the solvent evaporation crystallization method is expanded to fabricate yellow emissive CsCu2I3 crystals by changing the chemical molar ratio of precursor.
Estimation of zeta-chain-associated protein 70, interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 levels in sera of Iraqi newly diagnosed chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common type of leukemia in the Western world. The zeta-chain-associated protein (ZAP-70) an intracellular tyrosine kinase which play an important role in T-cell receptor signaling, natural killer cell activation, and early B-cell development. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) production has strong immunosuppressive effects through inhibition of Th1 type cytokines. IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine produced by a variety of cell types, including normal hematopoietic cells, and lymphocytes. Objectives: The objective of this study is to assess the level of ZAP-70, IL-10, and IL-6 in CLL and to correlate these levels with prognosis. Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study carried out at the National Center of Hematology from October 2013 to September 2015. Eighteen patients with newly diagnosis of CLL compared to 19 apparently healthy controls were also involved in this study. ZAP-70 was measured by while IL-10 and IL-6 were measured using serological methods including the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: ZAP-70 range between (24% and 90%) with a mean of 46.89 ± 19.15, two patients out of 18 were negative (<24%) for ZAP-70 as compared with control. The levels of IL-6 in the serum of untreated patients with CLL were increased in compared with healthy control (2.53 ± 1.98), ranged between (0.12 and 6.94) pg/ml. The range of the IL-10 expression of the untreated CLL patients was between (the lowest positive value (212 pg/ml) and which is the highest positive value (987 pg/ml) with a mean 614 ± 301 pg/ml, with all the morphologically diagnosed CLL cases show positive expression for IL-10. Conclusion: ZAP-70 level was higher in CLL patients than control and immunochemotherapy can normalize this which indicated good response to treatment. On the other hand, IL6 and IL10 were also higher in patients with CLL but not affected by therapy.

The behavioral theory of the (community‐oriented) firm: The differing response of community‐oriented firms to performance relative to aspirations

Research Summary Combining insights from the behavioral theory of the firm with sociological research on local embeddedness, we propose that community‐oriented firms respond differently to performance relative to aspirations than noncommunity‐oriented firms. Community‐oriented firms develop long‐term relations with local constituents and emphasize community goals. This orientation should buffer them from the risk‐inducing effects of falling below financial aspirations, and encourage them to pursue community goals more intensely when exceeding financial aspirations. Using U.S. bank data from 2005 to 2013, we find that community orientation—exemplified by community banks—attenuates the influence of performance below aspirations on risk‐taking, but amplifies the influence of performance above aspirations on community investments such as small business loans. We discuss implications for a sociologically informed view of performance feedback processes. Managerial Summary Relative to their size, locally embedded community banks take less risk and make more small business loans than do larger banks. We find that they also respond differently to performance relative to aspirations than do noncommunity banks. Specifically, while community‐oriented banks increase risk‐taking when their performance is below aspirations, they do so less intensely than larger banks. This is because factors related to ownership and community embeddedness make such banks more risk averse than large banks. Also, performance above aspirations provides freedom of action, and community banks use that freedom to increase small business lending. Such lending benefits the community and improves the business environment in which the community bank operates important secondary goals to community‐embedded firms.
RECYCLED GYPSUM AND RICE HUSK ASH AS ADDITIVES IN THE STABILIZATION OF EXPANSIVE SOIL

Expansive soils pose great risk to the structural integrity of many overlying structures. Given the impracticality of mechanical means of ground improvement in smaller projects, chemical stabilization is preferred. An economic and sustainable way of improving weak soils can be achieved with waste utilization of discarded materials as enhancing additives. Clay loam from Kauswagan, Lanao del Norte were treated with varied proportions of recycled gypsum and rice husk ash. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the admixtures were done based from criteria and laboratory tests listed by NSCP 2010 Section 303.5 and ASTM D4609. Addition of gypsum as lone additive increases plasticity, while further addition of RHA finally diminishes plasticity. Compaction characteristics at 15% gypsum + 10% RHA had maximum dry density increased by 1.918 kN/m3 and optimum water content decreased by 26%. While overall decrease in swelling was observed, only specimens with 15% gypsum + 10% RHA were considered non-expansive (EI < 20) by NSCP 2010. Mean compressive strengths of specimen were enhanced with a peak value of 1.128 MPa at 15% gypsum. Considering criteria from ASTM D4609 and NSCP Section 303.5, an admixture combination of gypsum and RHA can be considered effective in improving expansive soils.

The prevalence of helicobacter pylori and related conditions in van province and its region

Aim: The prevalence of Helicobacter Pylori (HP) is up to 90% in developing countries, whereas it is less than 40% in developed countries. This study aims to determine the prevalence of HP in Van city and its region and to investigate the relationship between the presence of HP and the clinical, endoscopic appearance Material and Methods: A total of 367 cases that presented with the dyspeptic complaints to the Gastroenterology outpatient-clinic and underwent upper-gastrointestinal endoscopy and gastric biopsies between July/2017-March/2019 were included in the study. The patients included in the study were divided into three age-groups (1-5 years, 6-10 years, 11-18 years). The clinical complaints, endoscopic findings were recorded in all patients. The relationship between HP positivity and clinical complaints, the endoscopic appearance was analyzed. Results: The presence of HP was found in 234(63.8%) patients. However, the incidence of HP was 63.8% in all patients; it was found 34.6% between 1-5 years, 61.8% between 6-10 years, and 71.2% between 11-18 years, respectively. The duodenal ulcer was found in 8.5%(20/234) of HP positive cases, and 3.5%(5/133) of HP negative cases. In predicting the presence of HP, the ulcer specificity was determined 96%, the sensitivity was 8.5%, the positive predictive value was 80%, and the negative predictive value was found 37.4% Conclusion: HP should be considered in patients with recurrent and chronic abdominal pain. Endoscopic appearance of nodular antral gastritis and the ulcer should suggest HP infection. The high rate of activity and chronicity in HP positive cases indicates the importance of HP eradication therapy.
Taylor expansion for matrix functions of vector variable using the Kronecker product

Taylor expansion is one of the many mathematical tools that is applied in Mechanics and Engineering. In this paper, using the partial derivative of a matrix with respect to a vector and the Kronecker product, the formulae of Taylor series of vector variable for scalar functions, vector functions and matrix functions are built and demonstrated. An example regarding the linearization of the differential equations of an elastic manipulator is presented using Taylor expansion.
Classification of emotions based on functional connectivity patterns of the human brain

Neurophysiological and psychological models posit that emotions depend on connections across wide-spread corticolimbic circuits. While previous studies using pattern recognition on neuroimaging data have shown differences between various discrete emotions in brain activity patterns, less is known about the differences in functional connectivity. Thus, we employed multivariate pattern analysis on functional magnetic resonance imaging data (i) to develop a pipeline for applying pattern recognition in functional connectivity data, and (ii) to test whether connectivity signatures differ across emotions. Six emotions (anger, fear, disgust, happiness, sadness, and surprise) and a neutral state were induced in 16 participants using one-minute-long emotional narratives with natural prosody while brain activity was measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We computed emotion-wise connectivity matrices both for whole-brain connections and for 10 previously defined functionally connected brain subnetworks, and trained an across-participant classifier to categorize the emotional states based on whole-brain data and for each subnetwork separately. The whole-brain classifier performed above chance level with all emotions except sadness, suggesting that different emotions are characterized by differences in large-scale connectivity patterns. When focusing on the connectivity within the 10 subnetworks, classification was successful within the default mode system and for all emotions. We conclude that functional connectivity patterns consistently differ across different emotions particularly within the default mode system.
Sparse Features with Fast Guided Filtering for Medical Image Fusion

In medical image fusion, partially focused images are combined into a completely informative in focus image of the same scene, helping the clinical applicability of medical image for assessment on sports injuries diagnosis and rehabilitation. However, many state-of-the-art fusion methods seldom consider structural differences between guidance and input images, so not all the significant features of the source images can be well preserved for a completely informative focused image. In this paper, a fusion method via fast guided filtering with sparse features is proposed. The source images are decomposed into base and detail layers using an average filter. They are also split into low-rank and sparse parts by solving convex programs. Saliency maps are constructed based on the sparse features using low pass and high pass filters. Fast guided filtering is used to optimize saliency maps for constructing weighted maps of the base and detail layers, and for maintaining the spatial consistency between the source images and the layers. The fused base and detail layers are integrated to construct the final fused image. Experiments on nine pair of medical images demonstrate that the proposed method achieved better medical images compared to other reported methods in terms of both subjective and objective evaluations.
Are gabapentin-related medications effective in reducing anxiety symptoms in adults with anxiety disorders?

Pregabalin therapy results in small reductions in generalized anxiety disorder symptom scores compared with placebo, but the changes are not clinically significant (SOR: A, meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials [RCTs]). In patients with breast cancer, gabapentin may improve social phobia and anxiety compared with placebo but does not relieve symptoms in panic disorder (SOR: B, systematic review of small RCTs with limited data).

Understanding community perception on aquaculture: Lessons from Mauritius as an ocean state

Abstract. Nirsimloo P, Mattan-Moorgawa S, Bhagooli R. 2019. Understanding community perception on aquaculture: lessons from Mauritius as an ocean state. Ocean Life 3: 47-53. Aquaculture is considered as one of the fastest food production industry during the past decade and holds high importance in fulfilling the global seafood demand. Globally, limited studies have been conducted on the social acceptability of aquaculture. It thus remains a key challenge to understand the perceptions of people on this subject in order to manage fish farming in a sustainable way. A survey-based approach was developed in order to have an in-depth assessment of perceptions and attitudes of public on aquaculture and its implications on the Blue Economy in Mauritius. Respondents’ perceptions were evaluated on five different aspects of aquaculture, namely, knowledge, socio-economics, environment, food security and implications for a Blue Economy. A total of 385 questionnaires was administered for the study from October 2016 to March 2017 and a response rate of 100% was recorded. Different statistical tests, like Spearman Correlation, Kruskal-Wallis and Chi-Square test, were used to compute data. Descriptive statistical methods revealed that 69.1% of respondents were in favor of expansion of the aquaculture industry in Mauritius. A poor but significant correlation (r=-0.0169, p<0.05) was found between favoring aquaculture expansion and perceived environmental concerns of aquaculture. A chi-square test confirmed a statistically significant association (p<0.05) between educational level of respondents and their knowledge on aquaculture. When aquaculture and Blue Economy in Mauritius were correlated, creation of employment opportunities, ensuring food security and boosting the economy of the country were factors chosen by most respondents to acknowledge the implications of aquaculture on the Blue Economy.
Improved Study of Side-Channel Attacks Using Recurrent Neural Networks

Differential power analysis attacks are special kinds of side-channel attacks where power traces are considered as the side-channel information to launch the attack. These attacks are threatening and significant security issues for modern cryptographic devices such as smart cards, and Point of Sale (POS) machines; because after careful analysis of the power traces, the attacker can break any secured encryption algorithm and can steal sensitive information. In our work, we study differential power analysis attacks using two popular neural networks: Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Our work seeks to answer three research questions(RQs): RQ1: Is it possible to predict the unknown cryptographic algorithm using neural network models from different datasets? RQ2: Is it possible to map the key value for the specific plaintext-ciphertext pair with or without side-band information? RQ3: Using similar hyper-parameters, can we evaluate the performance of two neural network models (CNN vs. RNN)? In answering these questions, we have worked with two different datasets: one is a physical dataset (DPA contest v1 dataset), and the other one is a simulated dataset (toggle count quantity) from Verilog HDL. We have evaluated the efficiency of CNN and RNN models in predicting the unknown cryptographic algorithms of the device under attack. We have mapped to 56 bits key for a specific plaintext-ciphertext pair with and without using side-band information. Finally, we have evaluated vi our neural network models using different metrics such as accuracy, loss, baselines, epochs, speed of operation, memory space consumed, and so on. We have shown the performance comparison between RNN and CNN on different datasets. We have done three experiments and shown our results on these three experiments. The first two experiments have shown the advantages of choosing CNN over RNN while working with side-channel datasets. In the third experiment, we have compared two RNN models on the same datasets but different dimensions of the datasets.
