Authors: Herlina Herlina
Published: November 2019

This historiography reveals the transmission of Islamic knowledge historically carried out by Palembang intellectuals, who lived during the Palembang sultanate and still prevailed until the Colonial era, after the Palembang sultanate had fallen and changed to the Palembang residency. This recording history uses historical methods, e.i. heuristics, source criticism, auffassung, and derstallung, while in data analysis it was used social hermeneutics and philological research stages. The results of historical sources, both texts and references which related to the problem of knowledge transmission of Palembang Islamic cleric, identified some Palembang Ulama in this period in transmitting knowledge. They were Shaykh Syihabuddin al-Jawi al-Palembani, Kemas Fakhruddin, Shaykh Sharia Abdus-Samad al-Palimbani, Shaykh Azhary Abdullah, Shaykh Kemas Azhary, and Azhary Imam. Knowledge Transmission of Palembang Ulama consists of two ways; Da'wah Bi Lisan and Da'wah Bi Qalam with scientific fields that include Fikih Akhlak, Tasawuf and Falak, Qur’an and Hadith, Islamic social and culture, Islamic history and Islamic biographies, prayer and remembrance, as well as jihad.

Authors: Isbullah Feroza Dystarindra
Published: November 2019

Perjanjian untuk membangun adalah bentuk perjanjian yang dibuat berdasarkan perjanjian yang diinginkan oleh para pihak, sebagai perjanjian anonim yang muncul dari prinsip kebebasan kontrak. Perjanjian ini oleh para pihak membuatnya dianggap sebagai alternatif untuk memfasilitasi pencapaian tujuan yang diinginkan. Sistem perjanjian untuk membangun pemilik tanah memberikan izin kepada pengembang untuk membangun rumah di tanah mereka, dengan periode waktu tertentu. Dalam akta perjanjian untuk konstruksi yang biasa, diikuti perjanjian tambahan (accesoir), yaitu akta kekuasaan untuk menjual, yang berarti bahwa pengembang memiliki hak untuk melakukan pemasaran atau penjualan rumahnya sendiri sebagai pembayaran setelah semua kewajiban telah dipenuhi . Ini menjadi masalah ketika kewajiban belum diselesaikan tetapi kekuatan untuk menjual digunakan dengan itikad buruk untuk mengalihkan hak kepada pihak ketiga. Pengembang mentransfer hak kepada pihak ketiga dengan membuat perjanjian jual beli. Masalah lain dalam proses memenuhi kewajiban pengembang dinyatakan bangkrut karena satu alasan, sehingga konsumen berdasarkan PPJB harus menjadi calon pemilik rumah dan kemudian hanya akan menggunakan status peminjam.
Modelagem, Simulação e Compressão na Sonata nº 10 para piano (das Rosas) de Almeida Prado: diálogos intertextuais com a Sonata op. 109 para piano de L. van Beethoven
Authors: Hartmann Ernesto
Published: November 2019

No presente trabalho, investigo as relações intertextuais possíveis entre a Sonata nº 10 para piano (das Rosas) do compositor brasileiro Almeida Prado e a Sonata op. 109 para piano de Ludwig van Beethoven. Inicio o texto com algumas considerações sobre a Sonata nº 10 de Almeida Prado, inicialmente intencionada como obra final do seu ciclo de sonatas para piano. Apresento o conceito de intertextualidade cunhado na década de 1960 por Julia Kristeva e alguns de seus desdobramentos, os conceitos de citação, empréstimo, simulação e modelagem de Leonard Meyer; o de paródia de Afonso Romano de Sant’Anna; e o de compressão de Josef Straus e problematizo-os de forma a obter, através da aplicação dos mesmos durante o processo analítico, subsídios para sustentar a hipótese de que a Sonata nº 10 dialoga intertextualmente com a Sonata op. 109. Como conclusão, demonstro que a mera aplicação dos conceitos não contempla as possibilidades viabilizadas pela linguagem do compositor brasileiro (especificamente a pós-moderna), sendo necessárias a ampliação e a flexibilização dos mesmos para que possam operar em conjunto, não sendo excludentes.

Pathogen fitness landscapes change when transmission cycles establish in non-native environments or spill over into new vectors and hosts. The introduction of Leishmania infantum in the Americas into the Neotropics during European colonization represents a unique case study to investigate mechanisms of ecological adaptation of this important parasite. Defining the evolutionary trajectories that drive L. infantum fitness in this new environment are of great public health importance as they will allow unique insight into pathways of host/pathogen co-evolution and their consequences for region-specific changes in disease manifestation. This review summarizes current knowledge on L. infantum genetic and phenotypic diversity in the Americas and its possible role in the unique epidemiology of VL in the New World. We highlight the importance of appreciating adaptive molecular mechanisms in L. infantum to understand the parasites’ successful establishment on the continent.

In this paper we review dynamics and roughness of bonds in proteins on example of albumin, that is important from the physiological point of view. We have performed computer simulations of albumin chain. Statistics were collected by performing many simulations realizations for each experimental setting. We concentrate on hydrogen bonds, cation-π and π- π interactions and NP contacts. Histograms of hydrogen bonds length are positively skewed in contrary to histograms of interactions and HP contacts that are negatively skewed. Scaling exponents of power spectra of energies of bonds / interactions /contacts are in range -0.2 to -0.5 and significantly differ between various hydrogen bonds or interactions. Varying scaling of such spectra can be used to classify between distinct bonds or contacts. Concerning particular amino-acids, largest amount of HBO H20 bonds are between Glutamate (GLU) amino-acids and water particle, while large amount of HBO bonds are formed with Lysine (LYS). For HP contacts the mayor role plays Phenylalanine (PHE) and Leucine (LEU) amino-acids. From decay curves HBO H2O bonds decays in fastest rate, while HBO bonds and HP contacts at slowest rate. We present as well decay curves of bonds formed by particular amino-acids, that gives interesting results.

Curcumin is the main secondary metabolites of Curcuma longa and other Curcuma spp, and has been reported to have some potential in preventing and treating some physiological disorders. This study investigated the effect curcumin in inhibiting high-fat diet and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia in rats. Twenty-six male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (170-190 g) were randomly divided into a standard food pellet diet group (Control group), a high-fat diet and streptozotocin group (HF+STZ group), and a high-fat diet combined with curcumin and STZ group (HF+ Cur +STZ group). Compared with the HF+STZ group, the HF+Cur+STZ group exhibited significantly reduced fasting blood glucose (FBG), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), alanine aminotransferase (AST) and aspartate transaminase (ALT) levels, and liver coefficients; in the livers of these rats, the expression of malondialdehyde (MDA) and Bax was downregulated, whereas that of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Bcl-2 was upregulated. Moreover, the liver histology of these rats was improved and resembled that of the control rats. These results suggest that curcumin prevents high-fat diet and STZ-induced hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia, mainly via anti-oxidant and anti-apoptotic mechanisms in the liver.
A Review on Molecular Functional and Structural Characterization of Human Cysteine Cathepsins in Bacterial Expression Systems
Authors: Cooray Ruwini , Madubashetha Hasanka , Warnakula Lakshan , Wickramasinghe P.D.S.U. , De Silva Nimali
Published: November 2019

Cysteine cathepsins, a class of proteinaceous enzymes, regulate a wide variety of metabolic processes in human including protein breakdown and turnover and immune functions. Eleven cysteine cathepsins have been identified so far and a wide array of studies related to identifying their specific functions, regulation and distribution patterns in tissues have been conducted. However, in recent past, the association of cysteine cathepsins in occurrence and progression of cancers have been identified and this has caused unrest in scientists triggering them to investigate the physiology, biochemical pathways and interactions of these cathepsins in cancer metastasis and therefore has become a noteworthy topic of intensive research. This review focusses and collects together the published work on molecular functional and structural characterization studies that have been done so far on in vitro expression of genes encoding for cysteine cathepsins in the Escherichia coli bacterial expression system. Accordingly, it was found out that all cathepsins except for cathepsins K, C, H, X and W have been expressed this way and the majority of them were found to be expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) pLysS expression host via pET3 expression vector. In addition, it was also noted that in most of the expression studies, the substrate that was used to validate the enzymatic activity of the recombinant enzyme that was produced was a cysteine residue along with a benzyloxy-carbonyl salt. Through this review, the authors suggest that there is a very high need that all cysteine cathepsins need to be characterized both structurally and functionally on a molecular platform to better understand their interactions including the biochemical pathways. It is also momentous that the mass production of the recombinant forms of these enzymes are facilitated via expression in such bacterial expression systems and in turn, would also provide a strong platform for the development and progression of studies related to human physiology including oncological studies such as cancer metastasis. Moreover, as per biochemical features of the enzymes that could be identified, the production of efficient inhibitors or inducers as per the necessity to improve health and promote wellbeing among the mankind could be facilitated.
Speech Intelligibility During Clinical and Low Frequency Subthalamic Nucleus Stimulation in Parkinson’s Disease

Published: November 2019

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has become an effective and widely used tool in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). STN-DBS has varied effects on speech. Clinical speech ratings suggest worsening following STN-DBS, but quantitative intelligibility, perceptual, and acoustic studies have produced mixed and inconsistent results. Improvements in phonation and declines in articulation have frequently been reported during different speech tasks under different stimulation conditions. Questions remain about preferred STN-DBS stimulation settings. Seven right-handed, native speakers of English with PD treated with bilateral STN-DBS were studied off medication at three stimulation conditions: stimulators off, 60 Hz (low frequency stimulation - LFS), and the typical clinical setting of 185 Hz (High frequency - HFS). Spontaneous speech was recorded in each condition and excerpts were prepared for transcription (intelligibility) and difficulty judgements. Separate excerpts were prepared for listeners to rate abnormalities in voice, articulation, fluency, and rate. Intelligibility for spontaneous speech was reduced at both HFS and LFS when compared to STN-DBS off. Speech produced at HFS was more intelligible than that produced at LFS, but HFS made the intelligibility task (transcription) subjectively more difficult. Both voice quality and articulation were judged to be more abnormal with STN-DBS on. STN-DBS reduced the intelligibility of spontaneous speech at both LFS and HFS but lowering the frequency did not improve intelligibility. Voice quality ratings with STN-DBS were correlated with the ratings made without stimulation. This was not true for articulation ratings. STN-DBS exacerbated an existing voice disorder and may have introduced new articulatory abnormalities.
Unbiased High-Resolution Composition Analysis of an Inactivated Polyvalent Foot-and-Mouth Disease Vaccine
Authors: Forth Leonie , Höper Dirk , Beer Martin , Eschbaumer Michael
Published: November 2019

Appropriate vaccine selection is crucial in the control of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). Vaccination can prevent clinical disease and reduces viral shedding, but there is a lack of cross-protection between the seven serotypes and their sublineages, making the selection of an adequately protective vaccine difficult. Since the exact composition of their vaccines is not consistently disclosed by all manufacturers, incompatibility of the strains used for vaccination with regionally circulating strains can cause vaccination campaigns to fail. Here, we present a deep sequencing approach for polyvalent inactivated FMD vaccines that can identify all component strains by their genome sequences. The genomes of all strains of a commercial pentavalent FMD vaccine were de-novo assembled and the vaccine composition determined semi-quantitatively. The genome assembly required high stringency parameters to prevent misassemblies caused by conserved regions of the genome shared by related strains. In contrast, reference-guided assembly is only recommended in cases where the number of strains is previously known and appropriate reference sequences are available. The presented approach can be applied not only to any inactivated whole-virus FMD vaccine, but also to vaccine quality testing in general and allows for better decision-making for vaccines with unknown composition.

El uso de la creación discursiva como efecto humorístico en la traducción audiovisual. El caso de Men in Black 3
Authors: González-Quevedo Marta , Cruz García Laura
Published: November 2019

En el ámbito de la Traducción Audiovisual (TAV), la traducción del humor destaca por su dificultad, ya que se basa en complejos procesos lingüísticos y de difícil definición. A la hora de enfrentarse a este tipo de traducción, hay que tener en cuenta una serie de restricciones, que no son solo las relacionadas con la TAV per se sino también con los aspectos culturales que entran en juego, puesto que el humor no es universal: en todas las culturas se ríen, pero no de las mismas cosas. En este artículo se pretende analizar y describir el uso de la creación discursiva, una forma de traducción más libre, como técnica para salvar las restricciones impuestas por el medio. Para ello, se ha analizado la película de ciencia ficción Men in Black 3, dirigida por Sonnenfeld y estrenada en el año 2012, que manifiesta un gran componente humorístico y de la que se han podido extraer numerosos ejemplos de creación discursiva como herramienta para la creación del humor en el idioma del texto meta. Todos los ejemplos encontrados en el filme se describirán para mostrar de qué manera esta técnica traslativa ha ayudado en la construcción del humor en el texto meta. Las conclusiones que se pueden extraer de este estudio apuntan hacia el hecho de que, de todas las técnicas empleadas en traducción audiovisual, la creación discursiva es de especial relevancia para la traducción del humor.

Background: Globally, an estimated 3.3 billion people are at the risk of malaria. The majority of cases have occurred in the African Region. This study aims to assess the determinant of malaria service readiness at the health facility level.Method: Data from the 2018 Service Availability and Readiness Assessment was used for this analysis. The study was a facility-based cross-sectional study and a stratified sampling technique was used. Data was collected from October - December 2017. Mean readiness score was used by computing six tracer items (Available of at least one trained staff for malaria diagnosis & treatment, Available malaria diagnosis & treatment guideline, Malaria diagnostic capacity, First-line anti-malarial drug in-stock, Paracetamol cap/tab, and ITN). Linear regression was used to identify factors associated with the mean readiness score of health facility to provide malaria service. The proportion test was used to check any change between 2016 and 2018 malaria service readiness.Result: A total of 764 facilities were included in the study, of these only 682(89.3%) of facilities were provide malaria service. Eighty-nine percent of facilities offer diagnosis or treatment of malaria service and 70% of the facility diagnosis malaria by clinical symptom followed by microscopy (67%) and Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDT) (46%). Only 3%facilities had all the six tracer items. Hospitals and health centers had the availability of tracer items above the average mean readiness score (52%). Facilities managed by other than public authorities were had lower mean score readiness for malaria service compared with those managed by the public. Higher & medium clinics, health posts, and Lower clinics were had lower mean score readiness for malaria service compared with hospitals. A significant change was not observed for malaria service readiness of tracer items between 2016 and 2018 (p-value=0.732).Conclusion: The study revealed that higher & medium clinics, lower clinics, health posts, facilities managed by other authorities and region were the determinate factor of malaria service readiness.Keyword: Malaria, Service availability, and readiness

Background: Malaria surveillance requires powerful tools and strategies to achieve malaria elimination. Rapid diagnostic tests for malaria (RDTs) are easily deployed on a large scale and are helpful sources for the parasite's DNA. The application of sensitive molecular techniques to these RDTs is a modern tool for improving malaria case detection and drug resistance surveillance. However, the detection of the parasite with these RDT based tools has so far only concerned asexual forms of P. falciparum. The knowledge of gametocyte carriage in the population is important to better assess the level of parasite transmission in elimination settings. The aim of this study was to develop the quantitative real time PCR technique to detect gametocytes of P. falciparum from RDTs and to provide a new tool for the molecular monitoring of malaria transmission.Methods: DNA was extracted from 303 RDT devices (SD Bioline Malaria Pf) using the Chelex-100 protocol. qPCR was performed in a 20 μL reaction to detect and quantify transcripts of the pfs25 gene. The cycle threshold (Ct) was determined by the emission fluorescence corresponding to the initial amount of amplified DNA. Results: We found an overall prevalence of 53.47% with an average Ct of 32.12 ± 4.28 cycles. In 2018, the prevalence of gametocytes was higher in the Ranérou district (76.24%) than in the Saint-Louis district (67.33%) where an increase in the number of gametocyte carriers in 2018 was noted, in comparison with 2017. Conclusions: RDTs are a good source of DNA for molecular monitoring of gametocyte carriage. This method, described for the first time, is a simple and effective tool to better understand the level of malaria transmission and reach elimination.

This research aimed to discuss the topic of patriarchal research because it still existed in several countries in the world, especially Asia and more specifically, in Indonesia. This research was conducted to reveal how patriarchal values were reflected in Indonesian children’s folk tales from Sumatra Island. This research used a sociological approach to literature and used semiotic theory to analyze the data obtained. The researcher chose to use a qualitative descriptive method so that the analysis process could be described completely. The main data used in this research are several children’s folk tales originating from Sumatra Island, namely Province of North Sumatra (“Di Balik Derita Si Boru Tombaga”, “Bohong Merinang”, and “Si Kodok Kata Malem, Baik Budi Penawan Hati”), South Sumatra (“Langkuse dan Putri Rambut Putih”), and Jambi (“Legenda Bukit Perak”). This research finds that patriarchal values are represented in how women are associated with domestic works, women are considered as the subordinates and inferiors, as well as showing their dependence on men.
The Representation of Women’s CEO Image in Online Media
Authors: Kristina Diah , Ramadona Melsiana Shera Rita
Published: November 2019

The research focused on the representation of women in the news about the absence of women in Uber’s CEO candidates from the perspective of feminist stylistics by Sara Mills. Five news texts from five different websites published during August 2017 were analyzed; they were Washington Post, Daily Mail, Inverse, Gizmodo, and Fortune. The method used was a qualitative research method with the approach of critical discourse analysis of Sara Mills. By applying three levels of analysis which was analysis at the level of the word, phrase/sentence, and discourse, this research aimed to analyze how women were represented linguistically in the online news of Uber’s CEO candidates and to discover the reason why women were represented in the way they were. The findings reveal that women remain underrepresented in news media. It is proved by the dominance of women as the object in the stories. Moreover, women are represented as ‘glass cliff position’, minority, and a way to recreate the good image in the company. The gender stereotypes, the background story of Uber, the male-dominated industries, and the prevalent condition become the reasons why women represented that way.

In the current scenario of Brazilian low water availability, the financial compensation funded by hydroelectric power plants (HPPs) represents an important tool for water management and conservation of the hydrographic basin. This payment could be applied to mitigate HPP's greatest problems such as water scarcity and reservoir silting. We propose an apportionment proportional to the average water flow provided by each municipality within the HPP's catchment area and the size of the flooded area by its reservoir. The water flow was obtained through the balance between precipitation and evapotranspiration for all municipalities in the study area with only 3% difference from the observed water flow in the HPP. As a result of the proposed methodology, the number of benefiting municipalities increased from 41 to 167 in the drainage area of Furnas’ HPP, providing financial resources to the upstream municipalities and enabling them to invest in conservation techniques to ensure the maintenance of water resources, promoting social and environmental development, and mitigation of HPP's greatest problems such as water scarcity and reservoir silting.

Adaptive management strategies are required to manage multi-actor and multifunctional river landscapes. Such strategies need to be inclusive of perspectives of different stakeholders. We present a case study of a pilot engineering project in the Dutch river Waal, which drastically changed the appearance of the river landscape. We study perceptions of four stakeholder groups (residents, recreational anglers, recreational boaters and shipping professionals) regarding the impacts of this intervention on landscape values, including aesthetics, naturalness, biodiversity, flood safety and accessibility. Results show that stakeholders differ in which functions of the river landscape they find important and how they perceive the longitudinal dams to influence the landscape. They also differ in levels of place attachment and trust in the responsible authority. Shipping professionals stand out for their more negative evaluations of the dams compared to the other stakeholders, while especially residents demonstrate high levels of place identity and connection with nature. Residents also feel that the dams are improving flood risk safety in the area, and they positively evaluate knowledge and skills of Dutch water managers. These results provide water managers with much needed insights into landscape functions valued by different stakeholder groups and those perceived as most endangered by landscape interventions.
La religion dans Malos Tiempos de Juan Madrid
Authors: Dieng Maguette
Published: November 2019

Investissant le Res factae, l’auteur espagnol de roman noir Juan Madrid réunit dans Malos tiempos (2017) les récits de huit faits divers ensanglantés qu’il avait déjà publiés en tant que reporter dans Cambio 16. Les meurtres qu’on y relate dérivent tous des attributs de la société contemporaine: le matérialisme, la cupidité, l’individualisme etc. La religion, en tant qu’instrument d’aliénation et sa marchandisation, est à l’origine de l’horrible crime commis par les Hermanas de luz, adeptes de la Sainte Lucie. Cet article se veut une étude basée sur une approche d’ordre herméneutique, conciliant la perspective théorico-conceptuelle et épistémologique avec la pratique textuelle.
La elección de Vicente Romero como gobernador de San Luis Potosí en 1828: prácticas político-electorales, representación y élites locales
Authors: Sánchez Montiel Juan Carlos
Published: November 2019

Esta investigación analiza el régimen electoral, las prácticas y la cultura políticas en relación con la elección de Vicente Romero como gobernador de San Luis Potosí. El estudio se enfoca en las prácticas electorales como espacios de negociación y legitimación del acceso al poder político. Expone la relación entre el voto indirecto, la participación de los ayuntamientos y las prácticas políticas en la elección. Una de las limitaciones del estudio radica en la parcialidad de los resultados analizados mediante las actas de elección, porque no se cuenta con el total de ellas. Se concluye que el régimen de elección indirecta basado en el voto de los ayuntamientos facilitó a las élites políticas controlar el acceso al poder en San Luis Potosí.

Published: November 2019

Despite many advances in the treatment of stroke, this disease still causes great morbidity and mortality. For this purpose, different kinds of studies have been conducted based on different mechanisms. The research findings highlight the role of remote ischemic preconditioning, microRNAs, neurogenesis, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Nearly a quarter of patients with ischemic stroke will experience a recurrent stroke. It means not just immediate intervention, but also long term intervention is necessary to alleviate stroke patients. Therefore, it is mandatory to predict unwanted events and implement a thoughtful treatment, especially targeting high-risk patients with a high rate of mortality and morbidity. In this review, new advances in animal models have been proposed and overall, it is concluded that stroke patients may greatly benefit from multidisciplinary solutions and more studies are being conducted for timely implementing the best therapy.

Published: November 2019

Carbonaceous materials are proven to be vital in day-to-day life as well as in advanced science
and technology applications. Rice straw, a secondary agricultural lignocellulosic biomass, has
drawn great attention for the production of value-added carbonaceous material. Because, it can provide
an alternative economic, greener and sustainable resource of carbon to non-renewable fossil fuelbased
precursors while controlling the worsening situation of environmental pollution due to improper
disposal and stubble burning. In this review, recent developments in the production of carbonaceous
materials from rice straw are presented. Biochar and activated carbon were reported to be the prime
carbonaceous materials prepared from the rice straw. Thus, pyrogenic preparation of biochar and the
influence of its pyrolysis temperature to the yield, composition, surface area, porosity and morphology
are preliminarily discussed. This is followed by a detailed discussion on the preparation of activated
carbon with an emphasis on the influencing reaction factors for improving the characteristic properties
of the activated carbons. Additionally, the major characterization techniques dealing with determining
the surface area and porosity (BET analyzer) and microstructure (secondary electron microscope
(SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM)) for both the carbonaceous materials are also discussed.
Finally, major applications of both the carbonaceous materials are briefly reviewed. Thus, the
present review clearly highlights the usefulness of agricultural lignocellulosic waste rice straw for the
conversion of waste to value-added carbonaceous materials.
