Published: November 2019

Zanthoxylum acanthopodium, locally known as Andaliman, is exotic spices which grown in North Sumatera. Several investigation shown that the special taste and aroma comes from pericarp of Andaliman. However, the pericarp of Andaliman is easily degraded. The proper postharvest handling of Andaliman is necessary to preserve fresh Andaliman for long time. Previously, Andaliman has been preserved in packaging under room temperature storage. Further investigation of Andaliman preservation in packaging under low temperature storage would help reduces the postharvest losses. In this study, the physical changes of Andaliman in various packaging under low-temperature storage were observed. The results shown that within 2 days, the pericarp of Andaliman in paper packaging was shrunk, similarly found in control without packaging. Meanwhile, the pericarp of Andaliman in aluminum foil and PP plastic were found normal in day 3. This result indicated that in low-temperature, Andaliman in Aluminum foil was recommended for best postharvest handling.

The impact of discretionary loan loss provision of sharia financing on financial performance
Authors: Zulfikar Z , Sri Wahyuni
Published: November 2019

This study aims to investigate the role of discretionary loan loss provision of sharia financing on the Islamic commercial banks’ financial performance in Indonesia. Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is used to examine the relationship between loan loss provisions and financial performance in 13 Islamic commercial banks for 4.5 years. The analysis of the outer model shows that the probability of default and loss given default are determinants of loan loss provision, while financial performance is determined by return on assets, non-performing financing, net operating margin, and operating costs on operating income. The results of this study indicate that loan loss provisions have a direct effect on financial performance. Further investigation shows that the return on sharia financing contributes to increasing the impact of loan loss provisions on financial performance (indirect influence). The findings contribute to the literature by showing that discretionary loan loss provision can occur in sharia financing. The study is very important in terms of awareness of management behavior related to financial performance. The study has implications for management policies related to the prerequisites of potential clients.

Religions Culture Sharps the Space
Authors: Wu Xiaowen , Gambardella Claudio
Published: November 2019

Religious culture shapes the characters of space and it reflects people’s attitudes towards the relationships between people and gods. Every religious architecture, such as a temple or a church, demonstrates its physical connections with life. This paper focuses on comparing different countries’ religious architectures to better understand the dominant cultural elements which influence design concepts of these architectures. In Western cultures, the religious architecture format is the church. However, Tadao Ando designs the Church of the Light with oriental features. It changes western religious cultures to adapt to local conditions. Ando’s work is just one of many examples in which the local culture can transform religious architecture form with their own characters, and nake it become an iconic mark to represent their country. This paper, analyzing project thinking and development invovling a local citizen, user, artist, and architect, tries to find out how design concepts, decisions on site location, and construction method will be determined. In these case studies on architectural formats from all over the world, this paper uses valuable data to show what elements will be the most critical ones to influence people’s thinking about religious cultures and religious architectural transformation. Furthermore, in this research, it compares religious cultural characters between western and oriental regions. This research also answers questions about how cultures change local people’s behaviors. This is the most valuable point of religious architectures, because they can comfort people and mitigate their sorrow. The research demonstrates how religious cultures and understanding about life can further develop architecture forms. Local materials and conditions are  key factors which greatly influence architectural designs. Moreover, this paper compares the latest technology and development of construction materials to illustrate how technology reshapes religious designs in our age. It links local cultures with contemporary architectures to help local architectures continue to develop with their unique characters instead of being eliminated by globalization.
Numerical and experimental studies of water disinfection in UV reactors
Authors: Li H. Y. , Osman H. , Kang C. W. , Ba T. , Lou J.
Published: November 2019

Performance of UV reactors for water disinfection is investigated in this paper. Both experimental and numerical studies are performed on base reactor LP24. Enterobacteria phage MS2 is chosen as the challenge microorganism in the experiments. Experiments are conducted to evaluate the effect of different parameters, i.e. flow rate and UV transmission, on the reactor performance. Simulation is carried out based on the commercial software ANSYS FLUENT with user defined functions (UDFs) implemented. The UDF is programmed to calculate UV dose absorbed by different microorganisms along their flow trajectories. The effect with boundary layer mesh and without boundary layer mesh for LP24 is studied. The results show that the inclusion of boundary layer mesh does not have much effect on the reactor performance in terms of reduction equivalent dose (RED). The numerical results agree well with the experimental measurements, hence validating the numerical model. With this achieved, the numerical model is applied to study other scaled reactors: LP12, LP40, LP60 and LP80. Comparisons show that LP40 has the highest RED and log inactivation among all the reactors while LP80 has the lowest RED and log inactivation.
Los años de la “revolución institucionalizada” en México: políticas de imagen y contenidos visuales de una construcción institucional (1940-1960)
Authors: Plu-Jenvrin Raphaële
Published: November 2019

El trabajo pretende mostrar la manera en que las políticas de imagen y los rituales cívicos reflejaron el proceso de institucionalización del Partido Revolucionario Institucional entre 1940 y 1960. Para ello, se estudian fuentes iconográficas y textuales oficiales, principalmente documentos de propaganda visual, informes y contenidos de prensa. Los materiales consultados evidencian una utilización específica de símbolos históricos convocados para garantizar la cohesión nacional. Estos rasgos ayudan a entender el funcionamiento de las instituciones y de su principal vector, el Partido Revolucionario Institucional. En suma, a partir de algunos contrastes entre los niveles nacional y local se busca evaluar el impacto de los contenidos estudiados.
Política social y transferencia de políticas públicas. Coordinación y aprendizaje en la cruzada nacional contra el hambre en México
Authors: Delgado Campos Victoria Ixshel , Culebro Moreno Jorge E.
Published: November 2019

El propósito del artículo es dilucidar cuáles han sido los instrumentos de coordinación de la política social en México en materia alimentaria desde el enfoque de la transferencia de políticas públicas. Para el cumplimiento de tal propósito, se utilizó el análisis documental sobre la Cruzada Nacional contra el Hambre en fuentes primarias y secundarias; además, se empleó la perspectiva de la transferencia de políticas públicas y el análisis institucional. Como resultado, se asienta que no es clara la manera en que esta Cruzada contribuyó a la resolución de un problema social como el hambre, ni es posible identificar su aportación en otros campos. La ausencia de una política alimentaria da por resultado el diseño de intervenciones fragmentadas y parciales, definidas débilmente. Se estudia el diseño y la implementación de la Cruzada Nacional contra el Hambre y el programa brasileño Fome Zero como mecanismos de adaptación y aprendizaje institucional. En conclusión, se establece que hay inconsistencias en la interpretación y en la expresión del problema que se busca resolver con respecto del origen de la política y el sistema.
Abasto del agua en las colonias irregulares de Nuevo Laredo. Un enfoque del derecho humano al agua
Authors: Frausto Ortega Jesús
Published: November 2019

En este trabajo se reflexiona en torno al abasto de agua potable en los asentamientos irregulares de Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, México, desde un enfoque del derecho humano al agua. Se realizaron entrevistas estructuradas con funcionarios públicos y colonos, se tomaron fotografías y se consultaron fuentes primarias y secundarias. Se encontró que se abastece agua potable de manera gratuita a las familias para satisfacer las necesidades básicas en un promedio de setenta litros por persona al día, pero esta cantidad resulta insuficiente. El valor de la investigación radica en el enfoque del derecho humano al agua para entender el abasto en las poblaciones que carecen de agua. Se concluye que tal abasto no alcanza para cubrir las necesidades básicas. Asimismo, se hace énfasis en el mal manejo y uso del agua.

Luces de Utopía
Authors: Bauman Zygmunt
Published: November 2019

Este breve artículo analiza, a la luz de los 500 años de la publicación de Utopía, de Tomás Moro, las implicaciones del “pensamiento utópico” en la actualidad. Partiendo de cuatro supuestos que definirían este tipo de razonamiento, se afirma que las viejas utopías se enfocaban en la totalidad del mundo llamado “sociedad”; sin embargo, ahora han sido individualizadas y privatizadas. A pesar de esto, se plantea un llamado a las utopías activas, que permiten una visión alternativa del futuro, en la que funcionan como “guías para la acción social”.

The Haywain: Anti-synthetase Antibodies in Patients with Inflammatory Diseases: Targeting Monocytes or Neutrophils?
Authors: Meek Bob , Rijkers Ger T.
Published: November 2019

Autoantibiodies against aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are found in patients suffering from a wide range of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. Recent data indicate that these antibodies are directed against splice-variants of synthetase genes, the so-called catalytic nulls. Latter molecules have cytokine-like functions and are involved in the regulation of the activation of lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes. The potential role of anti-synthetase antibodies as a diagnostic tool and a target for therapeutic interventions is discussed.

:

Exosomes, which mediate cell-to-cell communications and provide a novel insight into information
exchange, have drawn increasing attention in recent years. The homeostasis of bone metabolism is critical for
bone health. The most common bone diseases such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and bone fractures have apparent
correlations with exosomes. Accumulating evidence has suggested the potential regenerative capacities of
stem cell-derived exosomes. In this review, we summarise the pathophysiological mechanism, clinical picture and
therapeutic effects of exosomes in bone metabolism. We introduce the advantages and challenges in the application
of exosomes. Although the exact mechanisms remain unclear, miRNAs seem to play major roles in the
exosome.
Survey of Radio Propagation Models for Acoustic Applications in Underwater Wireless Sensor Network
Authors: Saini Preeti , Singh Rishi Pal , Sinha Adwitiya
Published: November 2019

Background:

Acoustic waves have a large range of applications in UWSNs from underwater monitoring to disaster management, military surveillance to assisted navigation. Acoustic waves are primarily used for wireless communication in water. But radio waves are more suitable than acoustic waves for many underwater applications (e.g. real-time applications, shallow water applications).

Objectives:

A propagation model is required to effectively design a radio wave based UWSN. Propagation model predicts the average received signal strength at a given distance from the transmitter and the variability of the signal strength in close spatial proximity to a particular location. Various radio propagation models are developed for air.

Methods:

The performance of RF-EM waves underwater is not the same as that in the air. Many parameters which have real-value in the air becomes complex valued in seawater. Thus, propagation models for air cannot be directly used to calculate propagation loss underwater. Various radio propagation models are developed for water by Al-Shamaa’a et al., Uribe and Grote, Jiang et al., Elrashidi et al., Hattab et al. Each model has some merits and demerits. Path loss model developed by Al-Shamma’a et al. is a simple model based on attenuation only.

Results:

Uribe and Grote have introduced distance-dependent attenuation coefficient in path loss calculation. Path loss model by Jiang et al. calculates path loss for freshwater. Model by Hattab et al. is specifically designed for UWSN. According to the authors, it is the first path loss model developed for UWSN. Elrashidi et al. have calculated path loss for freshwater and seawater at 2.4 GHz. The model includes the effect of the reflected signals on the received signal by the receiver node.

Conclusion:

The paper presents a comparative analysis of these various radio propagation models developed for underwater. Among these models, the radio propagation model by Hattab et al. is more realistic and covers both propagation loss and interface loss. According to the authors, it is the first radio propagation model developed for UWSNs.

Published: November 2019

Background:

Cockle shell-derived calcium carbonate nanoparticles (CSCaCO3NP) are
natural biogenic inorganic material that is used in drug delivery mainly as a bone-remodeling agent
as well as a delivery agent for various therapeutics against bone diseases. Curcumin possesses a
wide safety margin and yet puzzled with the problem of poor bioavailability due to insolubility.
Propounding in vitro and in vivo studies on toxicity assessments of newly synthesized nanoparticles
are ongoing to overcome some crucial challenges regarding their safety administration. Nanotoxicology
has paved ways for concise test protocols to monitor sequential events with regards to
possible toxicity of newly synthesized nanomaterials. The development of nanoparticle with no or
less toxic effect has gained tremendous attention.

Objective:

This study aimed at evaluating the in vitro cytotoxic effect of curcumin-loaded cockle
shell-derived calcium carbonate nanoparticles (Cur-CSCaCO3NP) and assessing its biocompatibility
on normal cells using standard techniques of WST’s assay.

Method:

Standard techniques of WST’s assay was used for the evaluation of the biocompatibility
and cytotoxicity.

Result:

The result showed that CSCaCO3NP and Cur-CSCaCO3NP possess minimal toxicity and
high biocompatibility on normal cells even at a higher dose of 500 μg/ml and 40 μg/ml, respectively.

Conclusion:

CSCaCO3NP can be termed an excellent non-toxic nanocarrier for curcumin delivery.
Hence, curcumin loaded cockle shell derived calcium carbonate nanoparticles (Cur-CSCaCO3NP)
could further be assessed for various in vivo and in vitro therapeutic applications against various
bone- related ailments.
Sustainable Conversion of Biomass-derived Carbohydrates into Lactic Acid Using Heterogeneous Catalysts
Authors: Liu Xiaofang , Zhang Qiuyun , Wang Rui , Li Hu
Published: November 2019

Over the past decade, increasing attention has been paid to the exploration of environmentalfriendly
and alternative resources to prepare basic chemicals for relieving the stress of fossil resources
and environmental issues. Lactic acid (LA, 2-hydroxypropanoic acid), the biomass-derived platform
molecule, has been used intensively in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Considering the fermentation
method for lactic acid production possesses environmental impact and high-cost issues, chemocatalytic
approaches to manufacturing LA from biomass have attracted much attention due to higher selectivities
and lower costs. This paper emphasizes a review on the state-of-the-art production of LA from triose,
hexose, cellulose and other biomass over heterogeneous acidic and alkaline catalysts.
Patient-Reported Outcomes in Online Communications on Statins, Memory, and Cognition: Qualitative Analysis Using Online Communities (Preprint)
Authors: Timimi Farris , Ray Sara , Jones Erik , Aase Lee , Hoffman Kathleen
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

In drug development clinical trials, there is a need for balance between restricting variables by setting eligibility criteria and representing the broader patient population that may use a product once it is approved. Similarly, although recent policy initiatives focusing on the inclusion of historically underrepresented groups are being implemented, barriers still remain. These limitations of clinical trials may mask potential product benefits and side effects. To bridge these gaps, online communication in health communities may serve as an additional population signal for drug side effects.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to employ a nontraditional dataset to identify drug side-effect signals. The study was designed to apply both natural language processing (NLP) technology and hands-on linguistic analysis to a set of online posts from known statin users to (1) identify any underlying crossover between the use of statins and impairment of memory or cognition and (2) obtain patient lexicon in their descriptions of experiences with statin medications and memory changes.

METHODS

Researchers utilized user-generated content on Inspire, looking at over 11 million posts across Inspire. Posts were written by patients and caregivers belonging to a variety of communities on Inspire. After identifying these posts, researchers used NLP and hands-on linguistic analysis to draw and expand upon correlations among statin use, memory, and cognition.

RESULTS

NLP analysis of posts identified statistical correlations between statin users and the discussion of memory impairment, which were not observed in control groups. NLP found that, out of all members on Inspire, 3.1% had posted about memory or cognition. In a control group of those who had posted about TNF inhibitors, 6.2% had also posted about memory and cognition. In comparison, of all those who had posted about a statin medication, 22.6% (P<.001) also posted about memory and cognition. Furthermore, linguistic analysis of a sample of posts provided themes and context to these statistical findings. By looking at posts from statin users about memory, four key themes were found and described in detail in the data: memory loss, aphasia, cognitive impairment, and emotional change.

CONCLUSIONS

Correlations from this study point to a need for further research on the impact of statins on memory and cognition. Furthermore, when using nontraditional datasets, such as online communities, NLP and linguistic methodologies broaden the population for identifying side-effect signals. For side effects such as those on memory and cognition, where self-reporting may be unreliable, these methods can provide another avenue to inform patients, providers, and the Food and Drug Administration.

Published: November 2019

La2O3/Co3O4 nanocomposite was synthesized and then used for the modification of screen-printed electrode (SPE) prior to the electrochemical determination of sertraline. A significant increment in peak current response was observed and peak potential also shifted towards less positive potentials showing the facilitated oxidation procedure at surface of modified SPE (La2O3/ /Co3O4/SPE). The quantitative determination of sertraline was carried out by using different pulse voltammetry and the anodic peak current was found to increase with increasing sertraline concentration in the linear range of 5.0400.0 ?M with limit of detection as 1.0 ?M. The prepared La2O3/Co3O4/SPE has been successfully used for detecting sertraline in sertraline tablet and urine samples with excellent recoveries.

Published: November 2019

BackgroundThere is a lack of quantitative evidence concerning United Kingdom veterans who access secondary mental health care. This is mainly due to a person’s veteran status not being routinely collected when they enter the health care system.

Main AimThe study aimed to develop an NLP approach for identifying veterans accessing secondary mental health care services using National Health Service electronic health records.

MethodsVeterans were identified using the South London and Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (SLaM) case register – a database holding secondary mental health care electronic records for the South London and Maudsley National Health Service Trust of 300,000 patients. We developed two methods. An NLP and machine learning tool were developed to automatically evaluate personal history statements written by clinicians.

ResultsThis study showed that it was possible to identify veterans using the NLP and machine learning approach on a sub-set of 4,200 patients. The automatic machine learning method was able to identify 270 veterans representing an accuracy of 97.2%. It is estimated to take between 6 to 16 minutes to manually search patient history statements whereas the automatic machine learning method took only one minute to run.

ConclusionWe have shown that it is possible to identify veterans using NLP combined with machine learning. This work contributes towards the development of a more comprehensive picture of veterans who are accessing secondary mental health care services in the UK. It represents a first step in identifying veterans from one dataset and we hope that future research can inform the possibility of deploying the methods nationally. Despite our success in the current work, the tools are tailored to the SLaM dataset and future work is needed to develop a more agnostic framework.

Disclosive Data: Who uses it, why, and what difference does it make?
Authors: Engeli Andrew , Tolland Aidan
Published: November 2019

The Secure Research Service of the Office for National Statistics provides secure access to sensitive detailed data that are not publicly available. It provides access for Approved Researchers working on defined and approved projects, which serve the public good, within the framework of the Digital Economy Act 2017. SRS data can’t be downloaded, but users can access the data at their desk if they are part of a government organisation (subject to connection criteria being met), or in an Office for National Statistics (ONS) approved Safe Setting if not.

In this paper, we examine the 2,612 projects that have been run using disclosive data through our service since its inception in 2002, and we map out patterns of data usage. In particular, we are interested in understanding;

Who are the primary users of disclosive data for research (internal ONS, academics, OGD, charities, commercial users)?

What are the primary sectors of research interest for which disclosive data access is requested? (Business, labour market, education, trade, health, population, etc.)?

What are the predominant patterns of team working? (single researcher, multi-researchers)?

What are the methodologies used to analyse the data?

What statistical tools are being used in carrying our projects?

Where are the researchers conducting the analysis based (NUTS1,2,3 classification)?

What are the outputs and impacts of disclosive data research?

The paper will conclude by proposing a classification of research projects based on a Hierarchical Cluster Analysis of the dataset collated for this presentation.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors use in pregnancy: a risk assessment study using administrative pharmaceutical data
Authors: Purkiss Shaun , Keegel Tessa , Vally Hassan , Wollersheim Dennis
Published: November 2019

BackgroundAntidepressant management with Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) during pregnancy is associated with risks of congenital malformations and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Main AimWe examined the incidence of SSRI use during pregnancy using Australian administrative pharmaceutical data linked to medical service data detailing antenatal consultations to assess pregnancy risk at current levels of treatment.

MethodA published data source from the Australian Pharmaceutical and Medical Benefit Schemes was used to identify pregnant women starting new onset treatments with SSRI medications during the provision of antenatal services. A longitudinal profile of SSRI incidence in the pre, peri and post pregnancy periods were constructed to define incident SSRI use. The potential increased burden from adverse pregnancy outcomes was calculated using estimates of risks from the literature.

ResultsFrom 2005-2011, 40,778 women were identified to have started de novo SSRI treatments within 10 years of pregnancy (n=172,951). The prenatal monthly incidence of SSRI prescriptions was 25 per 1000 women in 2005 and 7.5/1000 in 2011. During pregnancy, this incidence fell to 7.5 and 4/1000 women in years, and rose above perinatal levels to between 13 and 33/1000 women one year postnatally (X2 p<.001). At these incidence rates, an estimated 2400 women per year receive SSRI’s during pregnancy. In comparison, with non-depressed pregnant women this potentially results in 10 further cardiovascular defects, 94 pre-term births, and 1 still birth annually.

ConclusionThis pharmaco-surveillance study has demonstrated continued use of SSRIs in Australian women of childbearing age but diminishing usage during pregnancy. A small number of women continue to be prescribed SSRI during the prenatal period in Australia with risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Evaluating continuity of care incorporating a time protective effect of general practitioner care on diabetes related potentially preventable hospitalisations: An application of threshold effects model
Authors: Ha Ninh , Harris Mark , Preen David , Moorin Rachael
Published: November 2019

Background Continuity of care with a general practitioner (GP) is vital for management of chronic conditions including diabetes as it provides proactive care facilitating opportunities to prevent or delay progression of disease.

Aim To capture the proportion of time people with diabetes are under the protective effect of contact with a GP using the Cover Index and its effect on potentially preventable hospitalisation (PPH) and length of stay (LOS).

Methods The linked self-report and administrative health service data of 267,153 participants in the 45 and Up study in New South Wales (NSW) in 2006-2009, obtained from the NSW Centre for Health Record Linkage and the Australian Government Department of Human Services, were used. A cohort of 21,965 people aged 45+ years identified with diabetes before July 2009 and followed up to 2015 were included in the analysis. Time duration protective effect of GP contact was estimated according to severity of diabetes using threshold effect models and then used to calculate the Cover Index. The effect of levels of GP cover on PPH and unplanned PPH and related LOS were estimated using negative binomial models weighted for the inverse probability of treatment to control for observed pre-treatment covariate imbalance.

Results Perfect GP cover was observed among 56% of people in the study cohort. Compared with low GP cover, having perfect GP cover was significantly associated with lower PPH (IRR 0.21, 95%CI 0.13-0.35), LOS for PPH (IRR 0.12, 95%CI 0.06-0.24), unplanned PPH (IRR 0.36, 95%CI 0.19-0.68) and LOS for unplanned PPH (IRR 0.39, 95%CI 0.17-0.85) after controlling for the observed pre-treatment covariate imbalance.

Conclusion This study suggests that longitudinal continuity of care measured by incorporating a time protective effect of a GP (cover) may be an important factor associated with reduction in PPHs and length of stay independent of other measures of longitudinal continuity.
