The Yin and Yang of BK Channels in Epilepsy
Authors: Zhu Yudan , Zhang Shuzhang , Feng Yijun , Xiao Qian , Cheng Jiwei , Tao Jie
Published: February 2018

Background & Objective: The large conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channel,
extensively distributed in the central nervous system (CNS), is considered as a vital player in the
pathogenesis of epilepsy, with evidence implicating derangement of K+ as well as regulating action
potential shape and duration. However, unlike other channels implicated in epilepsy whose function in
neurons could clearly be labeled “excitatory” or “inhibitory”, the unique physiological behavior of the
BK channel allows it to both augment and decrease the excitability of neurons. Thus, the role of BK in
epilepsy is controversial so far, and a growing area of intense investigation.

Conclusion:

Here, this review aims to highlight recent discoveries on the dichotomous role of BK
channels in epilepsy, focusing on relevant BK-dependent pro- as well as antiepileptic pathways, and
discuss the potential of BK specific modulators for the treatment of epilepsy.

Authors: Naik Ragahvendra , Borkar Sneha D. , Bhat Sulochana , Acharya Rabinarayan
Published: February 2018

Wild edible plants play an important role in the livelihood of people residing in rural areas. Even today in most of the remote areas, people depend on plants which are available in their natural surroundings for food, medicine, shelter etc. Majority of wild edible vegetables have medicinal property and can be used to treat common ailments. The present paper focuses on ethno-medicinal properties of some non-cultivated, traditional vegetables from published research articles, books and web based search engines. On the basis of available ethno-botanical information through published literature studies, it is observed that one or the other part of wild vegetables belonging to about 97 species of 48 families are used as medicine apart from their nutritional benefits. About 43 species of leaves, 14 species Rhizome/tuber, 11 species of fruits, 9 species of shoot/stem, and 7 species of flowers are used for food as well as medicinal purposes. Total 66 among these are used internally, 21 are used externally and 14 are being used for both internal and external administration. About 52 different disease conditions like diabetes, rheumatism, dysentery, dyspepsia, gastritis, constipation, urinary disorders are frequently treated by these wild vegetables. These are easily available in natural habitat, cheap and excellent source of nutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, iron, essential minerals and other secondary metabolites. Regular use of these vegetables may indirectly act as an alternative source of medicinal drugs along with nutritional benefits. Further, they can be analyzed for their bioactive constituents and introduced as diet in routine clinical practice.

Cloning and expression of haloacid dehalogenase gene from Bacillus cereus IndB1
Authors: Ratnaningsih Enny , Idris Idris
Published: February 2018

Organohalogen compounds, widely used as pesticides in agriculture and solvents in the industrial sector, cause environmental pollution and health problems due to their toxicity and persistence. Numerous studies have been conducted on the biodegradation of organohalogen compounds, with many focusing on the use of dehalogenase from bacteria. Haloacid dehalogenase is a group of enzymes that cleaves the carbon-halogen bond in halogenated aliphatic acids. In a previous study, the bcfd1 gene encoded haloacid dehalogenase from Bacillus cereus IndB1 was successfully isolated and characterized. This research aimed to create an expression system of the bcfd1 gene by subcloning this gene into pET expression vector and to overexpress the gene in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). In addition, the recombinant protein was characterized to gain a better understanding of the catalytic action of this enzyme. A high expression of bcfd1 was obtained by inducing the culture at OD550 0.8–1.0  using 0.01 mM IPTG as determined by SDS-PAGE. Zymogram analysis proved that the recombinant protein possessed dehalogenase activity. Bcfd1 activity toward monochloroacetic acid (MCA) showed specific activity of 37 U/mg at 30°C, pH 9. The predicted tertiary structure of Bcfd1 was estimated has conserved α/ß hydrolase folding motif for haloacid dehalogenase superfamily.

Published: February 2018

The objective of the study was to determine the effect of cadmium on sperm quality and fertilization of C. carpio L. Sperm and eggs were collected by abdomen striping from the mature testis and ovary of C. carpio L. This study used one control and four treatment groups of variation on the cadmium concentration (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 ppm) with eight replications. Sperm motility (mass motility, mass motility duration, and individual motility duration) and viability were measured after three to four seconds of incubation in the water. The percentage of fertility success was calculated by observing embryo development after the eggs were mixed with sperm and incubated in the water for 72 hours. The success of the fertilization process was indicated by a color change of the egg that darkens after successful fertilization, and white-milk if failed. The data were analyzed using analysis of variance (α = 0.05). The results of this study indicate that exposure of 50 ppm cadmium and control group shown success in term of sperm quality (motility and viability) and fertilization, but at 100 ppm or more decreased the sperm quality and fertilization rate. It can be concluded that cadmium exposure decreases sperm quality and fertility at 100 ppm or higher concentrations.

Giardiosis is an important zoonotic disease caused by protozoa, easily disseminated by ingestion of cysts in water and food. For the identification of these parasitological agents, the coproparasitological laboratory techniques are prioritized, being some of them the method of Faust and the technique of Hoffman, Pons and Janner (HPJ). The objective of this study was to evaluate samples of feces from dogs, collected on the shore of the Laranjal beach, county of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and to compare these two diagnostic techniques, used in laboratory routine . Of the 41 samples analyzed by both techniques, nine were positive by the method of Faust and seven by HPJ, representing 22% and 17% respectively. Because it is a public place and giardiosis has zoonotic potential, it is necessary to adopt sanitary measures aimed at reducing the contamination of these places and consequently the exposure to this protozoan.

Published: February 2018

Neste artigo, reflito sobre as condições linguísticas, culturais e sociais que levaram autoras de origem diversas a escreverem textos literários em língua francesa, sobretudo porque aprenderam o francês na idade adulta. Quem lhes deu essa missão? Quem foram seus ajudantes e/ou oponentes? Interesso-me pelo processo de seus bilinguismos estéticos para compreender se foi uma construção decidida ou imposta a língua da escrita de suas narrativas. Mas, por que escrever na língua do Outro? Qual o lugar acordado às suas línguas maternas nessa construção? Investigo a relação com a língua francesa suscitada por suas Obras para entender suas práticas linguageiras entre tensões e/ou sintonias apoiando-me em teorias da leitura subjetiva e do esquema actancial da semântica estrutural.

DELIBERAÇÃO INTERNA E LEGITIMAÇÃO DAS CORTES SUPREMAS  INTERNAL DELIBERATION AND SUPREME COURTS’ LEGITIMACY   Bruno Meneses Lorenzetto*Letticia de Pauli Schaitza**  RESUMO: O artigo parte da superação da concepção estática de separação de poderes e critica os argumentos normalmente utilizados para justificar a legitimidade das Cortes Supremas para rever atos do Poder Legislativo por ignorarem que os juízes não decidem em um vácuo institucional e que a interação com seus pares influencia na tomada da decisão. Dessa forma, através da exposição dos modelos legal, atitudinal e estratégico, explicativos da tomada de decisão judicial, apresenta as Cortes não apenas como interlocutoras externas, mas sobretudo como tribunais colegiados deliberativos, a fim de enfatizar a importância da deliberação colegiada para a legitimidade da jurisdição constitucional e a qualidade da sua performance. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Legitimação Jurisdicional. Deliberação. Cortes Supremas. ABSTRACT: The article assumes the overcoming of the static conception of the separation of powers and criticizes the arguments normally used to justify the legitimacy of the Supreme Courts to review acts of the Legislative Power to the extand that they ignore that the judges do not decide in an institutional vacuum and that the interaction with their peers influences in the decision making process. Thus, through the exposition of legal, attitudinal and strategic judicial decision-making models, it presents the Courts not only as external interlocutors, but above all as collegiate deliberative tribunals, in order to emphasize the importance of collegial deliberation to constitutional jurisdiction legitimacy and the quality of its performance. KEYWORDS: Jurisdictional Legitimacy. Deliberation.

POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS E LINGUÍSTICAS: ESTRATÉGIAS E DESAFIOS NO COMBATE ÀS DESIGUALDADES SOCIAIS EM MOÇAMBIQUE
Authors: Timbane Alexandre António , Vicente José Gil
Published: February 2018

O mundo democrático em que a maioria dos países africanos se inseriu têm criado problemas ao invés de solucionar, que afetam diretamente é população. Moçambique possui um Estado novo porque alcançou a independência em 1975 e passou por 5 processos eleitorais. A maioria desas eleições não são reconhecidos pela oposição. A pesquisa visa discutir a influência das políticas públicas e linguísticas na vida dos moçambicanos e mostrar caminhos possíveis para uma política que atenda os interesses da população. Usando um método bibliográfico e buscando pesquisadores que discutem as políticas públicas e políticas linguísticas se chegou à conclusão de que há necessidade de envolver a sociedade (no sentido verdadeiro da palavra) na tomada de decisões e na resolução dos problemas sociais. Concluiu-se que o português é a língua oficial, mas ao mesmo tempo segrega uma maioria que não é alfabetizada. Precisamos discutir formas de ultrapassar as diferenças linguísticas e sociais criando assim, um ambiente são e com harmonia.
RITUAL USE OF CURRENCY IN LAIMBWE HISTORY, CAMEROON
Authors: Kah Henry Kam
Published: February 2018

A chegada dos europeus a Camarões no século XV e a introdução da moeda ocidental como um padrão de intercâmbio e uma medida de valor, passa a substituir outras moedas indigenas. Isso teve um impacto na iniciação das sociedades camaronesas, incluíndo os Laimbwe da região noroeste. Organizações de homens e mulheres eventualmente começaram a utilizar essas moedas durante os rituais de iniciação. Entre essas comunidades estão incluidos nwerong, ngiri, ngumba, takembeng, ndofoumgbui, kwifoyn (também kwifo’o, kwifeu, kuiifuai) kefa’a, tschong, libah e ikuum nas regiões pastoris e Liengu, male, ahon, muankum, nganya, monekim, ekpe e obasinjom na região de florestas de Camarões. Antes da introdução do dinheiro existiam algumas moedas locais, como búzios, que eram usados juntamente com provisões materiais, como cabras, porcos, galinhas e carne selvagem. Porém, o dinheiro tornou-se eventualmente uma medida de valor, status e uma provisão de riqueza entre os Laimbwe. Esse artigo examina como e por que a introdução do dinheiro na iniciação e em outros rituais levou ao surgimento de uma nova classe social e ao reforço de uma ordem político-social dos povos Laimbwe. O estudo consiste em discussão com membros das sociedades, observações e análise de materiais escritos.
Contemporary detail in zoom-in-zoom-out technique: God and scale
Authors: Kostic Milos , Milenkovic Vladimir
Published: February 2018

Considering both the visual and narrative character of architectural
discourse it is possible to examine the capacity of a drawing as an
autonomous form, but also as one assigned to it throughout the course of
creation of new architecture. This paper's intent is to examine the place
and the role of the architectural drawing of the detail within design
research. Thematically different, the narratives are instruments used for
creating a relationship between the project as a whole and its parts, while
the detail defines the path from an idea to the realization of architecture,
that is, from abstraction to concretization within the above-mentioned
process. The notion of scalar imagination has been introduced in order to
indicate the relationship between the traditional modernist understanding of
the roles of detail and scale have, while the question of the real size of
designed architecture has been moved aside. The scalar imagination reveals
the relationships between the elements of architecture, while its visibility
reveals the architect's ability to build the necessary information network
while moving throughout the diverse levels of those relationships. The goal
is to avoid vagueness of architecture represented by the drawing and favor
the polyvalence of its meaning by presenting concrete information. In that
sense, for the benefit of achieving clarity within the methodological
approach, we researched the conditions of visibility within the relationship
between the drawing and its meaning. Therefore, this paper focuses on the
scale as a direct connection between the drawing of the detail and the
continuity of the idea of architecture.

Published: February 2018

The paper critically analyzes the process of realization of energy efficient
kindergartens in the City of Belgrade whose designs are obtained in the open
public urban architectural competition. The process initiated, financed and
realized by the city government of the City of Belgrade is an example of an
effort toward meeting the EU directives and achieving the Energy Community
objectives in the field of energy efficiency and usage of renewable energy
sources, where facilities for public use must lead and be examples of the
best practice. The whole process is analyzed, starting from planned
conditionality of urban-architectural competition announcement through
special conditions concerning energy efficiency and usage of renewable energy
sources to construction and use of zero energy kindergartens, with a special
analysis of the energy efficiency parameters of one of the kindergartens
chosen as a representative of a good practice of competition solutions
implementation of energy efficient facilities for the public use.
Architectural promenade as scene of writing: the Jussieu library (1992) by Oma/Rem Koolhaas
Authors: Pjesivac Zeljka
Published: February 2018

This study investigates implementation of the conceptual and textual
techniques associated with poststructuralism (such as the poststructuralist
concepts of writing, text, intertext, discoursive practices) in Rem
Koolhaas's project the Jussieu Library (1992) planned within the Sorbonne
University complex in Paris. The main hypothesis of the study is that
Koolhaas produces in the project for the Jussieu Library transgression of
language of modernistic architecture conceiving the concept of architectural
promenade as a scene of writing. In other words, from the understanding of
the concept of architectural promenade as a self-reflexive, abstract and
autonomous concept, we move to the understanding of the architectural
promenade as culturally dependent, but also for culture and society
determinant concept. How does Koolhaas embody operative ideological practices
of post-structuralism in the case of the Jussieu Library? How can we
understand the concept of architectural promenade as a scene of writing? In
other words, how can we understand the architectural promenade as a field of
lines of deterritorialization and reterritorialization of different
narratives, discourses, ideologies, contexts? What role could this concept of
the architecture have in a society? In a theoretical context the study draws
on the investigations of: Jacques Derrida, Michael Foucault, Joseph Beuys,
Gilles Deleuze and F?lix Guattari.
Vulnerability of environmental systems of the functional urban region - detection by digital tool

Published: February 2018

Space, as a non-renewable category, is the most valuable resource of Istria
including not only landscapes, sea, seabed and the accompanying wildlife but
also very sensitive resources such as ground water, seashore and woodlands.
The aim of the study was to determine whether it is possible to reduce the
negative impact of development activities on space using Geography
Information System digital tools (GIS). Digital GIS tools were used in the
study of the pressures made by urban infrastructure and services on the
environment of the given area to assess the impact of sectoral and other
pressures on the selected natural and cultural systems of the coastal region
of Istria County. The key concept of the research methodology includes
analytical and objective identification of conflicts in the space and
provides spatial models for their reduction or complete elimination. The
Overlay Method is essentially a type of a spatial model which produces an
overlap of different thematic contents, in this case one of the models of the
environment content overlaps with a model of pressure of development
activities on the selected space element. As a final result, the critical
areas are designated and further guidelines and proposals for the
redefinition or revision of solutions are offered. A combined digital model
and an analytical approach to the study of the impact of development
activities on the natural sea system proved to be suitable tools for the
assessment of negative effects on the ecological systems of the study area.
Ports and aquaculture areas exert the biggest negative impact on the coastal
sea which is constantly under direct pressures brought about by activities
occurring in the sea itself. In addition to the direct pressure in the sea,
the coastline is potentially threatened by human-induced pressures from the
mainland.
Architectonic analysis of common space organization in contemporary student dormitories around the world
Authors: Krasic Sonja , Pejic Petar , Cekic Nikola , Veljkovic Milica
Published: February 2018

In the paper, the organization of space for common facilities in modern
student dormitories was analyzed. The detailed analysis of 42 student
dormitories, built in the last 10 years, all over the world indicated 6 types
of space organization. These examples are located mainly in the most
economically advanced countries of Europe and North America. The most common
type of space organization of common facilities is "Type 3", even though it
does not satisfy the social criteria which are, according to the latest
research, very important. This type involves the space for the common
facilities for all residents at the entrance to the dormitory, which is
connected with student rooms via communication paths. This trend of the space
organization of the common facilities in new student dormitories resulted
from the balance between economic and social factors.
The application models of the topological principle of continuous deformation in the architectural design process
Authors: Dragisic Maja , Bnin-Bninski Andjelka
Published: February 2018

Architecture and geometry share a mutual history, and their relationship
precedes the introduction of digital and computer technologies in
architectural theory and design. Geometry has always been directly related to
the modalities of thinking in architecture through the problems of
conceptualisation, representation, building, technology. Through the
historical overview of these two disciplines, it is possible to perceive
direct influences of geometry on the architectural creative concepts, formal
characteristics of architectural works, structural aspects, and building
methods in architecture. However, the focus of this paper is not on the
representation of historical intertwining of these two disciplines, which is
indisputable, it is on the attempt to represent one specific bond between
topology and architecture, firstly through the explanation of the principle
of continuous deformability, and secondly through the representation of the
models through which the principle occurs in the architectural design
process, as well. The first part of this work will introduce and analyse the
transition of concepts of continuity and deformability, from mathematical
topology through philosophy to architecture, while the second part of the
work will explain two models in detail, formal and systematic, through which
the principle of continuous deformation is applied in certain architectural
design practices. Overall, this work deals with the interpretation of the
principle of continuous deformation in architecture and it shows in which way
the architectural discourse changes the meaning of a
mathematical-philosophical notion and turns it into a design methodology of
its own. The subtlety of the question Bernard Tschumi asks about space
illustrates the need to thoroughly investigate interdisciplinary relation
between architecture, philosophy, and mathematics: ?Is topology a mental
construction toward a theory of space?? (Tschumi, 2004, p.49)
Tourist valorisation of medieval fortresses along the Danube river: From the Serbian perspective
Authors: Lecic Nikola , Mitkovic Petar , Manic Bozidar
Published: February 2018

The aim of the research is to determine the tourist value of the medieval
fortresses of Belgrade, Smederevo and Golubac, which are located along the
course of the Danube through Serbia, that is, to evaluate tourist
attractiveness of all those occurrences, objects and spaces which define the
tourist value of this kind of resource and heritage. Relying on the analysis
of defined elements of the qualitative-quantitative procedure of tourist
valorisation, the paper indicates the causes of a low level of tourist
attractiveness and distinctiveness of the analysed monumental complexes, as
well as the guidelines and activities which should be undertaken in order to
rebuild and organise this kind of cultural heritage.
Impact of changes in economic structure on the territorial and demographic growth of settlements in the post-socialist period, the example of Nisavski Administrative District
Authors: Ristic Aleksandar , Mitkovic Petar
Published: February 2018

This paper analyzes impact of the changed socio-political and economical
conditions in post-socialist period, to spatial, demographic and functional
transformation of settlements in the case of Nisavski Administrative
District. Based on census data and data from the current planning documents,
a comparative analysis of interdependence between land use and demographic
trends by the type of settlements is conducted in order to examine the extent
to which modern principles of sustainability and urban sprawl control had
been implemented. Considering that development takes place under the
influence of multitude of factors changes in the economic structure were also
analyzed. In the theoretical part of paper, the origin and development of the
idea for restriction of urban sprawl was presented, along with an overview of
the most important provisions of international conventions.
Assessment of reliability predictions of the reverberation time by using the architectonic software package Ecotect
Authors: Vasov Miomir , Cvetkovic Dragan , Bogdanovic Veliborka , Bjelic Igor
Published: February 2018

Contemporary architectonic design mostly relies on the software tools which
enable the engineers to analyze multiple factors affecting a space, and to
timely detect and correct certain errors in designing, resulting from
attempting to satisfy certain aspects of a space at the expense of others.
Those tools which apart from architecture itself also consider other fields
of science, depending on the function of these areas are important; thus in
the lecture halls designing process, adequate software for analysis is used.
In addition to a number of acoustic parameters characterizing the acoustic
response of a room, in terms of design, one of the most important factors
affecting the acoustics of the indoor areas is reverberation time, which is
characterized by the architectonic parameters: room volume (dimensions),
shape (form) and materialization (finish material). In this paper, for the
purposes of acoustic analysis of the A amphitheater, the parametric values
obtained in two ways, by experimental measuring and by software - Autodesk
Ecotect and Autodesk Revit Architecture are compared. The software is
increasingly used in contemporary architectonic software because of the
option to analyze acoustics of indoor space, so there is a need to analyzed
the values provided by the software and compare them with actually measured
reverberation time.
