Three Dangerous Loops Of Lipoproteine-Associated Phospholipase A2 Activity On Increasing LDL Aterogenecity
Authors: Susilowati Retno , Sargowo Djanggan , Tjokroprawiro Askandar
Published: September 2019

Background. Hypercholesterolemia is a major classic risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but there are 35%-40% cases of cardiovascular patients have a normal cholesterol levels. Lp-PLA2 is an enzyme that produced and secreted by macrophages as a response to the lipid peroxide formation, especially the platelet activating factor compound and phosphocholine peroxide. Lp-PLA2 is correlated with classic risk factor of cardiovascular disease, although that correlation with number of foam cell at early stage of atherosclerosis is not clear yet. This study aims to determine whether Lp-PLA2 levels correlated with classic risk factors of atherosclerosis and the number of foam cell, and the role of Lp-PLA2 enzyme in foam cells formation.Methods. This study observes the change of Lp-PLA2, F2-Isp, MDA, TC, LDL, HDL levels in rat serum at 3 levels of early atherogenesis, Ath-I, Ath-II and Ath-III were made on the number of foam cells. The number of cells was observed on all aortic cross sectional surfaces, using the Oil-Red-O staining. The LDL-C content was measure using the Fiedwall formula, MDA content was measure by using TBA-test, the observe of F2-isoprostane and Lp-PLA2 followed the procedure Elisa methods. Results. Anova test results among the 3 initial atherosclerotic levels showed a very significant difference (p<0.01) on Lp-PLA2 plasma content. The LSD test results represented an increase in Lp-PLA2 enzyme levels significantly since AthII stage. Path analysis refers that correlation value between the Lp-PLA2and the number of foam cell (r=0.48) were higher than that of the LDL (r=0.42), was neither correlated with MDA nor F2-Isp, the highest correlation occurred between Lp-PLA2 and LDL compared to the others parameters (r = 0.58). Path analysis also showed no correlation between cell numbers with MDA and F2-Isp, but LDL levels are correlated significantly with of oxidative stress markers MDA levels (r = 0.32) and correlated very significantly with F2-Isp (r = 0.69).Conclussion. It can be concluded that elevated levels of Lp-PLA2 increase atherogenecity of LDL, due to increased inflammation, stress oxidation and elevated levels of Lp-PLA2 itself, wich are interconnected with proatherogenic loops.

Published: September 2019

Background: The appearance of ST-segment elevation (STE) and pathological Q wave were signs of worse myocardial damage and function, the quantitative measurement of the waves have a potential prognosis role. This study assesses the performance of the quantitative measurement of the waves in predicting in-hospital mortality and compares it with the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score as the standard recommended risk score.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study included patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) that hospitalized in Abdul Wahab Sjahranie General Hospital Samarinda during January to December 2016. Standard 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG) were assessed at patient admission as well as other data for GRACE score. The subjects were grouped into non-survivor and survivor group based on hospitalization survival state, and six quantitative ECG characteristics performance will be assessed. The performances were assessed using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC).

Results: There were 57 subjects consisting of 9 non-survivor subjects. The AUC of the four ECG characteristics highest STE amplitude, deepest Q amplitude, total Q amplitude, and total STE amplitude did not significantly different with GRACE score (p>0.05). Highest STE amplitude has the best performance than the other ECG characteristics (AUC=0.81, 95% CI:0.65 to 0.97), and cut off point 4.5mm provides 56% sensitivity and 94% specificity.

Conclusion: The quantitative measurement of ST-segment deviation and pathological Q wave have the prognosis role for predicting in-hospital mortality.

Abstract

Background:  Though the use of Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) in general is preferred due to its convenient and eliminates the need for activated Partial Thromboplastin Time ( aPTT) monitoring but Unfractionated Heparin (UFH) is still widely used in clinical setting due to its availability and low price. Besides UFH, the use of oral anticoagulant therapy with warfarin, has been the standard therapy for the prevention of thromboembolism in patients with AF. Our aim is to report a case of the resolution of left atrial thrombus in a patient with mitral stenosis.

Case Illustration:  A Case report of a female patient aged 54 years who admitted with a sudden neurological deficits and mitral stenosis with atrial fibrillation.  Transthoracal Echocardiography (TTE) showed mobile thrombus which moved and obstructed the mitral valve during diastolic phase. Unfractionated heparin (UFH) was administered 3000 unit bolus intravenously and maintained with 600 unit per hour with the combination of warfarin 2 mg for five days. TTE evaluation showed the resolution of LA thrombus. 

Conclusion : The administration of the combination of UFH and warfarin had successfully caused  resolution of  the LA thrombus and prevented the patient from surgical intervention. This case report indicated that Unfractionated Heparin and Warfarin were still the treatments option in LA thrombus patients with mitral stenosis and atrial fibrillation.

Konsep Tasawuf Substantif Dalam Muhammadiyah
Authors: Masrur Imam
Published: September 2019

This research is exploring Islamic Sufism concept of the Muhammadiyah Organization. Formally,Muhammadiyah refuses classical sufism like Naqsabandiyah, Qadiriyah and etc. According to Muhammadiyah, sufism is often deviated into a tarekat by strict ritual practices, self isolated, and being unmindful people.Thisview motivates Muhammadiyah to  make another concept of sufism accordingto Islam. The result explains that achieving spiritual grace are by reciting holy Quran, doing more sholat sunnah, zikir, fasting,  and etc  that in Islamics role. Muhammadiyah practices sufism in pure religious service and non-pure religious service according to Quran and hadist; it is called by substantive sufism. Sufism meant sincere,  patient,  tawakkal  based on Prophets  guide  and  only Allah. It is also meant as a balancing of material and spiritual, worldly and eschatological matters  that  based on Al-Quran and Sunnah. It is alsodenySufism that oriented with khalwat and reject the world. Another, the important of Muhammadiyahs attitudeÂ  are faithful, doing religious service obediently, and being good human in environment. This is the sufism orientation that is not related with negative view like isolated, doing unusual, having faith by speculation and isolated from environment.

Published: September 2019

Rhodanese is a key enzyme that plays an important role in cyanide detoxification. The enzyme was extracted, purified and physico-chemically characterised from Bacillus licheniformis which demonstrated the highest efficacy compared to the seven isolates of bacteria of the cassava processing industry effluent morpholologically and biochemically characterised.  Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and values were considered significant at p<0.05. This study showed that the optimum growth temperature was 350C at a pH 9.0. The highest duration time for the synthesis of rhodanese was at 40 hours. Potassium cyanide (KCN) and casein were the best carbon and nitrogen sources. The enzyme has a specific activity of 10.99 RU/mg, with a purification fold of 4.38, a percentage yield of 15.96%. The apparent Km for KCN and Sodium thiosulphate (Na2S2O3) were determined to be 30.24mM and 24.93mM respectively while their Vmax were 5.40 RU /ml/min and 5.07 RU /ml/min respectively.  The optimum pH and temperature were 8.0 and 50 0C respectively. The enzyme showed a high stability at 500C. The enzyme showed specificity at 6.78 RU/ml/min for Na2S2O3 while it was inhibited by other sulphur containing substrates namely 2-mercaptoethanol, ammonium persulphate, and sodium metabisulphite The enzyme activity was not inhibited by metal ions such as (K+, Mg2+, Ba2+, Ni2+, Sn2+ and Na+) at 1mM and 10mM and was not significant (p>0.05). Therefore, B. licheniformis have the potentials of reducing cyanide pollution thereby enhancing effective management of cassava mill effluent before eventual discharge into the environment and this may be developed into a more effective tool for bioremediation.

An estimation of optimal design parameters of subsurface drainage system through monitoring of water table depths and drain discharges are expensive in terms of time and money. The simulation modeling is an effective tool for estimation of drainage design parameters at less cost and short time. In view to this, calibration of DRAINMOD model for prediction of water table depths and drain discharges were conducted by installing subsurface drainage system with 40 m drain spacing and 1.0 m drain depth at Agricultural Research Station, Kasbe Digraj, Dist. Sangli (Maharashtra) during 2012-13 to 2013-14. The field data on water table depth and drain discharge were used for calibration of DRAINMOD model. The input data files on climatic, soil, crop and drainage design system parameters were attached to DRAINMOD model and calibrated successfully. It is found that both observed and simulated water table depths and drain discharges showed a fluctuating trend and predicted both water table depths and drain discharges closely with the observed values during frequent rainy days and following the rainy days. The DRAINMOD model reliably predicted water table depths with a goodness of fit (R2 = 0.97), MAE (12.23 cm), RMSE (15.49 cm) and CRM (0.05); drain discharges with R2 of  0.93, MAE of 0.095 mm day-1, RMSE of 0.1876 mm day-1and CRM of 0.04. Thus, the calibrated DRAINMOD model can be used to simulate the water table depths and drain discharges in semi-arid climatic conditions of Maharashtra and in turn to estimate and evaluate drain spacing and depth.
Unobserved Components Model for Forecasting Sugarcane Yield in Haryana
Authors: Hooda Ekta , Verma Urmil
Published: September 2019

Unlike classical regression analysis, the state space models have time-dependent parameters and provide a flexible class of dynamic and structural time series models. The unobserved component model (UCM) is a special type of state space models widely used to analyze and forecast time series. The present investigation has been carried out to study the trend of sugarcane(gur) yield in five districts (Ambala, Karnal, Panipat, Yamunanagar and Kurukshetra) of Haryana state using the unobserved component models with level, trend and irregular components. For this purpose, the time series data on sugarcane yield from 1966-67 to 2016-17 of Ambala and Karnal, 1971-72 to 2016-17 of Kurukshetra and 1980-81 to 2016-17 of Panipat and Yamunanagar districts have been used.   For all the districts, the irregular component was found to be highly significant (p=0.01) while both level and trend component variances were observed non-significant. Significance analysis of the individual component(s) has also been performed for possible dropping of the level and trend components by setting their variances equal to zero. The state space models may be effectively used pertaining to Indian agriculture data, as it takes into account the time dependency of the underlying parameters which may further enhance the predictive accuracy of the most popularly used ARIMA models with parameter constancy. Moreover, the unobserved component model is capable of handling both stationary as well as non-stationary time series and thus found more suitable for sugarcane yield modeling which is a trended yield (i.e. non-stationary in nature).

The field experiment was conducted at District Seed Farm, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal in summer season of 2011 and 2012. Pre-sowing bio-priming was done with Trichoderma viride and Pseudomonas fluorescens with an un-primed control to assess the trend of okra varieties viz., Lalu, Arka Anamika, Ramya, Satsira, Lady Luck,Debpusa Jhar,Japani Jhar and Barsha Laxmi  due to bio-priming of seeds towards vegetable production Significant variation among the varieties was noted for all the characters studied. Okra variety Lalu gave highest vegetable yield per plant in both years and it was statistically at par with Arka Anamika. Vegetable yield per plant was increased by 4.33 to 20.08% in first year and 3.68 to 19.60% in second year with T. viride as compared to P. fluorescens and un-primed control. Individual varieties indicated that vegetable yield per plant was maximum with Lalu when priming was made with both the bio-inoculants followed by Arka Anamika during both years. Hence, Lalu and Arka Anamika may be recommended for experimental region for higher yield and pre-sowing seed bio-priming may be recommended with both T.viride and  P. fluorescens for enhanced vegetable yield of okra.

Published: September 2019

The green revolution has been a major boost to the agriculture sector throughout the world including India. The food production of the country increased by many fold during the 1960s and 1970s and has continued to increase since then. But, the boom of green revolution could not last long as we witnessed stagnation in the productivity of our farm lands along with soil and crop health degradation. This forced the scientific and farming community to look for efficient and ecologically safe farming systems which led to the evolution of the concept of ‘sustainable agriculture’. Sustainable agriculture is a holistic concept of agriculture which helps in meeting the needs of the present generation without affecting the future generation. It helps in maintaining optimum crop production along with maintaining soil health, conservation of natural resources and preserving ecological balance and biodiversity in agroecosystems. This review aims to create a paradigm for future studies on new and innovative techniques for sustainable crop production.

Published: September 2019

The risk of adverse reactions in herbal remedies is less and has become popular to be used traditionally for treating various diseases. The species associated with genus Piper are important medicinal plants used for preparation of herbal medicines. The present investigation was carried out in the Experimental farm, Department of Horticulture, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat-13 during 2013-14 and 2014-15 to investigate the flowering variation of some Piper longum germplasms of North East  India. A total of 16 Piper longum germplasms including ‘Viswam’ as check variety were evaluated and experimental data revealed significant difference in spike initiation time among the germplasms with shortest spike initiation period (245.30 days) that recorded in germplasm PLJ-19 while the check var. recorded 287.40 days. Significant and shortest period for spike initiation to maturity was recorded in germplasm PLJ-19 (61.04days) followed by PLJ-01 (61.00days), PLJ-11 (61.38days) and check var. (70.03days).The number of flowering spike per plant ranges in between 58.53-113.73. The highest number of flowering spike per plant 113.73 was observed in germplasm PLJ-19 followed by PLJ-01 (109.40), PLJ-11 (104.11), PLJ-16 (100.33) and were found to be superior over check var.  (92.07). The present findings has a significant contribution in determination and identification of germplasm having shorter spike formation period with higher number of flowering spike as the variation in piperine content depends on both the characters also.

Carassius auratus is an invasive species that has successfully established populations throughout Iraq. Unfortunately there is no information available regarding the biological properties of the species in Al-Diwaniya River, Middle Euphrates, Iraq. So growth, reproduction and food habit of C. auratus were investigated in this river from November 2016 to October 2017. Length groups of the fishes from 19 to 21cm were prevailing the catch and formed 30.8%. Length-weight relationship was calculated as W= 0.013L 3.129 for all individuals, with allometric growth. The condition of the fish increased in early spring. The maximum age recorded was 5 years with 30.1 cm. The parameters to the von Bertalanffy growth curve fitted to mean total lengths at age were L?= 43.0, K= 0.225 and to= - 0.412. The index of growth performance (?) was 2.612. The unbalanced overall ratio of males to females was 1:3.81. Higher values of gonado-somatic index (GSI) for males and females occurred in early spring. C. auratus is an herbivorous, with a diet that includes algae (52.6%), macrophytes (22.0%), diatoms (15.8%), crustacean (4.8%) and aquatic insects (4.8%). Our results highlighted basic biological aspects of the invasive C. auratus which can assist in fisheries management and conservation of the fish species in Al-Diwaniya river.

There are 1350 people with intellectual dissability in Yogyakarta, in which 50% of them are adolescent with age ranged from 13-18 years old. Most of adolescents with intellectual disability will have limitation on cognitive, adaptive behavior and social-personal function, which lead to some diverted behaviors such as inability to maintain cleanliness, taking care of themselves, and conducting good act of sexual behaviors. These conditions will lead to social perception as childish, inhuman, asexual, or bad sexual behavior due to lack of information and low cognitive function. This study aimed to assess the efect of six- sex education program on social skills of adolescent student with intellectual dissability in SLB N 1 Bantul, Yogyakarta. This is a pre experimental with one group pre test-post test design. Twenty (20) students with intellectual dissability were recruited using simple random sampling. Social skills were measured using KiSS-18 (Kikuchiâ€™s Scale of Social Skills) questionnaire before and after six-sex education program for four weeks. The data were analyzed using paired t-test. There is a significant (p= 0.034) different on the social skills before and after six- sex education program. Adolescent with intellectual dissability require specific treatment, communication and skill to improve their social skills through sex education program.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 15% - 20% of pregnant women experience complications. If this problem does not receive adequate treatment, pregnancy complications can contribute to maternal mortality, therefore detecting from the beginning the presence of abnormalities, complications, and complications of pregnancy must be carried out proactively by both health workers and the community, one of them by the health cadres. This study aims to determine the relationship between motivation, supervision, education and training on the ability of the health cadres in the promotion of health of pregnant women. The study was conducted on 7 February to 6 May 2016. This research was an explanatory study with quantitative research methods using a cross-sectional approach. The number of samples was 269 active health cadres. The sampling technique is multi-stage cluster random sampling. Independent variables include motivation, supervision, education and training. The dependent variable is the ability of the health cadres to promote the health of pregnant women. Data collection using a questionnaire, data analysis using Path Analysis. Factors related to the ability of the health cadres in the promotion of health promotion for pregnant women include: motivation (b = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.16 to 1.42, p = 0.01); supervision (b = 1.11, CI 95% = 0.58 to 1.65, p = <0.001), education and training (b = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.36 to 1.21, p = <0.001). Factors related with motivation include: supervision (b = 0.61. 95% CI = 0.13 to 1.11, p = 0.01); education and training: (b = -0.04, 95% CI = -0.52 to 0.44, p = 0.86). df = 1; AIC = 707.81; BIC=732.29. There is a relationship between motivation, supervision, education and training with the ability of health cadres to promote the health of pregnant women. Supervision is the most related factor. Supervision is related to motivation, good supervision will increase the motivation of health cadres, while education and training relate to motivation, health cadres with good education and training, reduce motivation in health promotion, but not statistically significant.

Published: September 2019

In the world of LBW occupies the first cause of infant mortality in the world in the early period of life. LBW accounts for 60% to 80% of all neonatal deaths. The global prevalence of LBW is 20 million per year or 15.5% of all babies born in the world (WHO, 2015). In Indonesia, according to The Inter-Census Population Surveys (SUPAS) 2015 IMR was 22.23 per 1,000 live births (Kemenkes RI, 2016). The Poor quality of antenatal care is one of the risk factors for LBW (Sistiarani, 2008). This study aims to determine the correlation between the quality of ANC services and the incidence of LBW in the Public Health Center of Wates Kulon Progo Regency. This study uses quantitative research with case control design and uses a retrospective approach. The populations of the study were mothers who had given birth to babies during the last two years (2016-2017). The sampling technique uses total sampling for control cases by using a ratio of 1: 1 for the case group of 40:40 samples. The study proves that the results of statistical tests show that there is a relationship between the quality of ANC services and the incidence of LBW with a p-value of 0.025 (OR=3.095, CI= 1.234-7.706).). There is a relationship between the quality of ANC services and the incidence of LBW. The inadequate or unqualified quality of ANC services increases the risk 3 times for the incident of LBW. It is expected to be able to monitor and import data on pregnant women using a mobile application.

Published: September 2019

This paper was made from my master thesis entitled
"Perception about self-defense and women self-defense training". The
study was conducted in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The main objective of the
research was a comparison of the strategies which self-defense trained and
untrained girls used to attempt for their self-protection in order to reduce
the risk of violence. The study finds out the effectiveness of self-defense
training towards women’s self-protection. Non random sampling technique was
used to select the sample. The study used statistical techniques of analysis.
The study constitute 120 respondents falling in the age range- range 18-30
years.

The findings support the hypothesis that women who take
self-defense training are better equipped with physical and mental skills which
allows her to defend herself from assailant than a woman who did not have
training. Self-defense training, increased confidence, self-efficiency in women
and reduce the chances of victimization.
WHAT ARE THE FACTORS AFFECTING THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE PATIENT AND THE PHYSICIAN?
Authors: YAĞAR Fedayi
Published: September 2019

In this review study,
the factors affecting the interaction between the patient and the physician
were investigated and the studies in this context were taken into consideration
for evaluation. The results of the investigations showed that the factors such
as values, beliefs and opinions, gender of physicians, cognitive
characteristics, behavior of physicians, race and ethnicity, social styles of
patients, health status, informed consent, physician image, personal
characteristics of patients and patient relatives have a significant effect in
this regard. In the studies we reviewed, important findings were found to be
highlighted under these headings. In particular, it was found that female
physicians establish more empathy, that physicians with better cognitive
characteristics are more effective in interaction, that well-informing the
patient is beneficial, that nonverbal communication should be given importance
in addition to verbal communication, that a good communication should be
established with patient relatives, and that patient beliefs should be taken
into consideration. In addition, elderly patients, patients with low literacy
levels, and male patients were found to have more trouble in the interaction
with physicians.
Challenge of applying ‘subjective interpretation’ with Bayesian network analysis in Art and Culture
Authors: Hoàng NGUYỄN Minh
Published: September 2019

Art and Culture are very important aspects of humanity. However, due to their abstract nature, attempts to quantify the value of such fields have been the challenges for the scientific community. Recently, a new work of Vuong et al. (2019) presents an approach that sheds light on the possibility of applying Bayesian networks analysis to clarify the connection between architecture, for example, the design of the house façade and cultural evolution in Vietnamese city in the early 20th century.

On the Rationality and Transcendentality of Solutions to the Equation x^n + y^n = z^n
Authors: Ho Binh
Published: September 2019

In this paper, the author develops 2 theorems that serve as extensions to the well-known Fermat’s Last Theorem in the field of number theory. The first proposed theorem in this paper states that if there exist numbers x, y, and an integer z such that x^n + y^n = z^n for any integer n > 2, then both/either x and/or y must be irrational. The second proposed theorem in this paper states that if there exist a number x, a transcendental number y, and an integer z such that x^n + y^n = z^n for any integer n > 2, then x must be irrational. The proposed theorems in this paper expand on the notion that if there exist numbers x, y, and an integer z such that x^n + y^n = z^n for any integer n > 2, then at least x or y is not an integer, which is stated in Fermat’s Last Theorem.

Published: September 2019

Crop domestication is a fascinating area of study, as evidenced by a multitude of recent reviews. Coupled with the increasing availability of genomic and phenomic resources in numerous crop species, insights from evolutionary biology will enable a deeper understanding of the genetic architecture and short-term evolution of complex traits, which can be used to inform selection strategies. Future advances in crop improvement will rely on the integration of population genetics with plant breeding methodology, and the development of community resources to support research in a variety of crop life histories and reproductive strategies. We highlight recent advances in the role of selective sweeps and demographic history in shaping genetic architecture, how these breakthroughs can inform selection strategies, and the application of precision gene editing to leverage these connections.

Study of complex systems I―the filler effect as a meso-factor in bread-making
Authors: KANAMORI JIRO
Published: September 2019

An approach for the analysis of complex systems was investigated. Bread baking is one of the most complex food production processes known. The effect of insoluble additives (IAs) such as various polysaccharides and proteins (the so-called ‘filler effect’) was investigated in relation to the bread-making process by using a variety of different IAs. The addition of IAs individually and specifically affected the resulting bread volume. This effect could be directly connected with the insoluble material present in the IA since precipitates prepared from IA suspensions that were prepared by centrifugal fractionation affected bread volume, whereas supernatants containing solubilized IA did not. Since a negative correlation was found between water absorption by IA and the resulting bread volume, the ‘filler effect’ of the IAs was considered a predominant factor in bread-making. The effects of IAs on bread-making were simplified by viewing the ‘filler effect’ as a ‘meso-factor’. This approach could be applicable in understanding a number of complex systems.
