Secara aksiologis pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan penggunaan teknologi harus selalu mengacu pada wawasan yang kudus dan kemanusiaan. Dengan kata lain, penekanan pada aspek vertical dan horizontal sebagai landasan moral dalam berkarya dan berinovasi merupakan keniscayaan yang harus dilakukan. Dengan berlandaskan iman dan berorientasi pada kemaslahatan manusia sebagai visi dan misi perjuangan tentu peradaban dunia akan menapaki era emas, dimana nilai-nilai kemanusiaan terjaga dan sarat nilai ketuhanan. Untuk itu, dalam konteks ini agama, etika, estetika, dan aturan adat harus tetap terjaga. Jangan sampai pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan menganut konsep barat yang sekuler dan antroposentris yang bias membuat dunia semakin berantakan dan gersang nilai ketuhanan.

Authors: Avecilla Andrea , Doke Mayur , Jovellanos Jeremy , Avecilla Vincent
Published: July 2018

The devastating growth in the worldwide frequency of neurocognitive disorders and its allied difficulties such as decline in memory, spatial competency, and ability to focus poses a significant psychological public health problem. Inhibitor of Differentiation (ID) proteins are members of a family of helix-loop-helix (HLH) transcription factors. ID proteins have been demonstrated to be involved in neurodevelopmental & depressive diseases and thus may influence neurocognitive deficiencies due to environmental exposure. Previously, it has been demonstrated that environmental factors such as estrogenic endocrine disruptors (EEDs) have played an essential role in the influence of various neurocognitive disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and Parkinson’s disease. Based on this increasing number of reports, we consider the impact of these environmental pollutants on ID proteins. Better understanding of how these ID proteins by which EED exposure can affect neurocognitive disorders in populations will prospectively deliver valuable information in the impediment and regulation of these diseases linked with environmental factor exposure.
An Experimental Investigation of Temperature and Aging Effects on Bentonite and Sepiolite Drilling Fluids
Authors: Ahmed Tariq , Makwashi Nura
Published: July 2018

The selection and control of a suitable drilling fluid is necessary to successfully drill an oil and gas well. The rheological properties of drilling fluids vary with changes in conditions such as time and temperature. Slight changes in these conditions can cause unpredictable and significant changes in the mud’s properties. This makes it necessary to study the rheology of drilling fluids and how it is affected by these changes. At the rig sites, tests are carried out by the mud engineers to ensure that the properties of the drilling fluids are within the required limits. Similar tests were carried out at the laboratory in this work to determine the plastic viscosity, yield point, gel strength of mud samples at different conditions of ageing time, temperature and concentration of Xanthan gum (X.G) used as an additive. The Experiments carried out were grouped into three. The first was done with the aim to further explain how the Bentonite and Sepiolite water-based drilling fluids behaves after been aged for certain period. The second sets of experiments were conducted to investigate how the rheological properties of water-based Bentonite muds are affected by different concentration of xanthan gum added as an additive to improve the muds properties and the last sets of experiments were done to investigate the ageing effect on Bentonite mud treated with 250mg/L xanthan gum. Effects of temperature were also considered in these experiments with a 10℃ variation in the first group and 20℃ in the other two groups between readings from 20℃ to 60℃ . Results obtained indicated that Sepiolite water-based drilling fluid offers better plastic viscosity and yield point as compared to Bentonite water-based drilling fluids. It was also found that the viscosity and yield point of Sepiolite, Bentonite and treated Bentonite muds decreases with increase ageing time and temperature while the gel strength increases with ageing time but similarly decreases with increase in temperature. In the second group, results obtained indicated that plastic viscosity, yield point and gel strength increases as concentration of xanthan gum increases, all of which decreases with increase in temperature.

Ferro-carriles y transformación urbana en Barcelona
Authors: Viana Suberviola Enrique
Published: July 2018

En general, el impacto de los sistemas ferro-viarios es muy positivo en cuanto a la mejora
de la accesibilidad de un área, a la renovación urbanística y a la conectividad del conjunto
del sistema. Normalmente se procura la interconexión de las infraestructuras ferro-viarias
para provocar sinergias entre ellas y maximizar su uso. Pero las redes ferro-viarias también
jerarquizan el territorio. Por ello, es importante reconducir el desarrollo ferro-viario hacia
modelos reticulares que abarquen la máxima superficie del terreno homogéneamente y procurando favorecer el policentrismo urbano e intraurbano.
La contribución del paisaje visual en la generación de marcas territoriales
Authors: Nogué Joan , De San Eugenio Vela Jordi
Published: July 2018

El paisaje ha sido y sigue siendo un elemento de primer orden en la representatividad
física y simbólica del territorio. En los últimos tiempos, los procesos de promoción de los
lugares han experimentado una profesionalización de las estrategias de creación de relatos
territoriales habitualmente asociados a imaginarios paisajísticos. Este artículo pretende situar
el actual consumo visual de paisajes en el marco de las nuevas estrategias de promoción y/o
dinamización económica del territorio, que tienen en la generación de marcas de territorio
a uno de sus más claros ejemplos. Con tal fin, se propondrá, mediante una extensa revisión
crítica de la literatura vinculada a paisaje visual y marcas de lugares, una aproximación tentativa e inicial hacia una ‘nueva’ economía territorial, que tiene en el paisaje visual y en el
branding territorial a dos de sus pilares fundamentales. En este marco de consumo simbólico
de lugares, se aportarán algunas evidencias preliminares sobre el papel relevante que desempeña el paisaje y su capacidad de evocación simbólica para la generación de imaginarios
geográficos proyectados a través de marcas asociadas a distintos lugares.

¿Cómo se comporta Andalucía en la globalización del siglo XXI?
Authors: Marchena Gómez Manuel J. , Hernández Martínez Enrique
Published: July 2018

Después de tres décadas de autogobierno, y tras ser la región europea que más fondos
comunitarios ha recibido, es una evidencia que Andalucía no ha convergido con el resto de
regiones europeas, y continua en posiciones de retraso relativo. Este artículo plantea la necesidad de trascender una explicación “exógena” de esta situación, y vuelve la mirada tanto hacia el carácter extractivo y oligárquico de las élites andaluzas, en todas sus modalidades. Se propone tanto un cambio del modelo productivo y especialización en la globalización, como un cambio en las condiciones institucionales, de mayor inclusividad y competitividad empresarial.

Published: July 2018

O transtorno da articulação temporomandibular (ATM) é uma desordem de etiologia multifatorial que envolve os músculos da mastigação, a ATM, a dentição e estruturas associadas. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso clínico de tratamento de disfunção temporomandibular por meio da utilização de placa oclusal. A paciente compareceu à clínica da Universidade Nilton Lins, queixando-se de dores orofaciais, na cabeça e nos músculos da mastigação. Ao exame extraoral de palpação da ATM percebeu-se a presença de estalido, crepitação e deslocamento de disco com redução em ambos os lados na abertura bucal. Ao exame intraoral, foi observada mordida ‘topo a topo’, desvio mandibular na abertura e fechamento, desgastes dentários e ausência do elemento 13. Após análise dos modelos montados em articulador semi-ajustável, o diagnóstico foi de disfunção temporomandibular associada ao bruxismo cêntrico. O tratamento de escolha foi a confecção de placa oclusal superior rígida em resina acrílica termopolimerizável. O procedimento executado foi satisfatório, pois houve redução da intensidade e frequência da dor, com melhora na qualidade de vida da paciente.Descritores: Transtornos da Articulação Temporomandibular; Músculos da Mastigação; Placas Oclusais.

The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the impact of demonetization on Indian firm’s quarterly financial performance before and after demonetization period (March-December, 2017), and to find out if companies’ age helps to face financial disruption. Four variables, which are net sales, total income, net profit after tax, and earnings per share, were taken as proxies for analyzing the quarterly financial performance of 2,892 companies listed on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), National Stock Exchange (NSE), and Calcutta Stock Exchange (CSE). Nonparametric test, particularly Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed Rank Test and Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance, were applied in analyzing the data. Results reveal that there is a statistically significant difference between the financial performance before and after demonetization at 5% level of significance. It was also found that the decrease/increase in the financial performance of all the firms was affected by the demonetization process, irrespective of their ages. The findings could be useful for financial managers and financial consultants, as they would be able to focus on the issues that matter most at the time of financial disruption.

Inflammation and the ways for its regulation: The development of an effective system for the treatment
of inflammatory diseases requires comprehensive studies of the cellular signaling molecular networks comprising
responses to various stressors, including pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms. Significant
attention on fundamental and applied research has recently focused on inducers of hemе oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and
inhibitors of the expression of this enzyme, which regulates expression of this and other cytoprotective molecules
and modulation of inflammation. Recent studies indicate that mycoplasmas (a major group of human pathogens
of the Mollicutes) are capable of modulating inflammatory responses through the activation of the Nrf2 and the
expression of HO-1. In vitro experiments demonstrate that the membrane lipoproteins (LAMPs), along with
lipoprotein derivatives (lipopeptide MALP-2) in mycoplasmas cause a "cross-talk" between the pro- and antiinflammatory
signaling pathways. Importantly, lipopeptide/lipoprotein - induced expression of HO-1 tends to
suppress inflammation.

Conclusion:

The study of the molecular network that causes the corresponding outcome can facilitate the development
of new approaches for the treatment of inflammatory processes. The derivatives of LAMPs and MALP-2
and of their analogues may prove promising for the treatment of diseases associated with chronic inflammation.
Metallothionein: A Novel Therapeutic Target for Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Published: July 2018

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation
within the gastrointestinal tract. It is a multifactorial disease associated with immune-cell mediated oxidative
damage to the intestinal mucosa. There is no cure for IBD, but anti-cytokine therapy can limit target inflammation
and disease progression. Unfortunately, many patients are nonresponsive or develop resistance to anti-cytokine
therapy over time creating a need for new therapeutic agents. Metallothionein (MT) is a small, highly conserved
stress response protein that has been shown to modulate the immune response as a pro-inflammatory agent, regulates
divalent heavy metal homeostasis, and acts as a reactive metabolite scavenger. Our research, as well as other
groups studying MT, has described MT induction and release during IBD inflammatory stress response. The
release of MT results in activation of inflammatory responses leading to progressive inflammation and subsequent
expansion of MT synthesis. A monoclonal antibody specific for MT has been used in murine models of IBD and
should only target the extracellular pool of MT, thus representing a novel therapeutic approach to this disease.

Objective:

The study aimed to correlate the status of hepatitis C (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection with clinical and demographic data prior to starting highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and assess the impact of HCV and HBV co-infection on the natural history of HIV infection.

Patients and Methods:

The study involved a total of 836 treatment-naive patients with available serological status for HBV and HCV at the point of therapy initiation. Patients were stratified into four groups: HIV mono-infection, HIV/HCV, HIV/HBV, and HIV/HCV/HBV co-infection. Demographic, epidemiological, immunological and clinical characteristics were analyzed in order to assess the possible impact of HCV and HBV co-infection on HIV - related immunodeficiency and progression to AIDS.

Results:

The prevalence of HCV and HBV co-infection in our cohort was 25.7% and 6.3%, respectively. Triple HIV/HCV/HBV infection was recorded in 1.7% of the patients. In comparison with those co-infected with HCV, patients with HIV mono-infection had lower levels of serum liver enzymes activity and higher CD4 cell counts, and were less likely to have CD4 cell counts below100 cells/µL and clinical AIDS, with OR 0.556 and 0.561, respectively. No difference in the development of advanced immunodeficiency and/or AIDS was recorded between patients with HIV monoinfection and those co-infected with HBV, or both HCV/HBV.

Conclusion:

HIV/HCV co-infection was found to be more prevalent than HIV/HBV co-infection in a Serbian cohort. Co-infection with HCV was related to more profound immunodeficiency prior to therapy initiation, reflecting a possible unfavorable impact of HCV on the natural history of HIV infection.

BACKGROUND

Most smokers start smoking during their early adolescence, often with the idea that smoking is glamorous. Interventions that harness the broad availability of mobile phones as well as adolescents' interest in their appearance may be a novel way to improve school-based prevention. A recent study conducted in Germany showed promising results. However, the transfer to other cultural contexts, effects on different genders, and implementability remains unknown.

OBJECTIVE

In this observational study, we aimed to test the perception and implementability of facial-aging apps to prevent smoking in secondary schools in Brazil in accordance with the theory of planned behavior and with respect to different genders.

METHODS

We used a free facial-aging mobile phone app (“Smokerface”) in three Brazilian secondary schools via a novel method called mirroring. The students’ altered three-dimensional selfies on mobile phones or tablets and images were “mirrored” via a projector in front of their whole grade. Using an anonymous questionnaire, we then measured on a 5-point Likert scale the perceptions of the intervention among 306 Brazilian secondary school students of both genders in the seventh grade (average age 12.97 years). A second questionnaire captured perceptions of medical students who conducted the intervention and its conduction per protocol.

RESULTS

The majority of students perceived the intervention as fun (304/306, 99.3%), claimed the intervention motivated them not to smoke (289/306, 94.4%), and stated that they learned new benefits of not smoking (300/306, 98.0%). Only a minority of students disagreed or fully disagreed that they learned new benefits of nonsmoking (4/306, 1.3%) or that they themselves were motivated not to smoke (5/306, 1.6%). All of the protocol was delivered by volunteer medical students.

CONCLUSIONS

Our data indicate the potential for facial-aging interventions to reduce smoking prevalence in Brazilian secondary schools in accordance with the theory of planned behavior. Volunteer medical students enjoyed the intervention and are capable of complete implementation per protocol.

Authors: Jarczok-Guzy Magdalena
Published: July 2018

The aim of the study is to analyze the functioning of the BNI Poland Group as an organization operating on the principle of networking and to show the role of recommendation in contemporary competitive conditions. The method of analyzing the academic literature, secondary sources, internal documents of the studied group as well as primary data in the form of a questionnaire have been used in the article. The article shows that a membership in a business support group based on the recommendation principle in the era of increased competition helps to remain on the market and raise the number of clients. This work can be used as a source of knowledge for every entrepreneur who is open to business contacts kept according to a strictly defined structure and procedures. The issue of the business support group on the basis of recommendation is quite a recent matter in Poland. The BNI Poland Group was established in 2010, while in the USA it has been functioning since 1985. Due to these dates, you can direct more attention to this form of marketing. This paper is not a commercial but scientific analysis of an organization which could be an instrument of competiveness at market.

The poor dissolution rate of water-insoluble drugs is still a substantial problem confronting the pharmaceutical industry. There are several methods used to increase the solubility of drugs, of those liquid-solid compact technique is a new and promising addition towards such a novel aim, that the solubility of the insoluble drug moiety is increased by the aid of non-volatile solvents and hence increasing the dissolution and bioavailability. Oral drug administration has been one of the most convenient and widely accepted routes of delivery for most of the therapeutic agents. It is one of the most extensively used routes of drug administration because of its obvious advantages of ease of administration, improved patient compliance, and convenience. The enhancement of oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs remains one of the most challenging aspects of drug development. A more recent technique, “powdered solution technology” or “Liquisolid technology”, has been applied to prepare water-insoluble drugs into rapid-release solid dosage forms. The limited solubility of drugs is a challenging issue for the industry, during the development of the ideal solid dosage form unit. The technique is based upon the dissolving the insoluble drug in the nonvolatile solvent and admixture of drug loaded solutions with appropriate carrier and coating materials to convert into acceptably flowing and compressible powders.
