Estudio de la vegetación en áreas dedicadas al frijol tapado.
Authors: Herrera Franklin , Meléndez Gloria
Published: October 2018

The frequency, dominance, percentage of leaf cover and index of frequency x cover of annual and perennial species were evaluated, in areas dedicated to slash/mulch bean (frijol tapado) over 35-and 80- years periods with falIow periods forone and three years, in Guaitil of Acosta, Costa Rica. Soil nutrient available, their relationship with plant cover and foliar nutrient content of each especies were also evaluated. Under falIow periods of three years, perennial species were dominant. Under falIow periods of one year without pasturing, Rottboellia cochinchinensis was dominant, but, with pasturing, Sida rhombifolia predominated. Percentage of leaf cover of some species was well correlated with soil nutrient available, but its potential use as indicator of soil fertility was unclear. High nutrient levels in the foliage of some species suggests thepossibility to use weed species as a temporal storage of nutrient, eventualIy released back to the soil to be used by crop plants when the falIow is cut.

Published: October 2018

The maize breeding program and the Bajío Experimental Station, which belongs to the National Institute of Agriculture, Forestry and Livestock (INIFAP), located in the State of Guanajuato, Mexico, during 1994 and 1995, we evaluated yield trials with four types of genetic material: a. Original inbred lines wich are parents of superior single croses, under the release process. b. Modified parts coming from the cross of the original inbred parent, with a relative inbred line derived from the same germplasm source. c. Theoriginal single cross hybrids, and d. The modifield new crosses from the related parents. The results showed that the modified parents outyield in the original inbred lines, in some cases was of more than 300%. Moreover, some modified hybrids were statistically similar to the original single cross hybrids, as well as in some later commercial checks. The heterotic response, previously identified in specific single hybrids, was kept when we utilized modified parents with high yield. All this supported the idea that this kind of hybrids represent a large potential in the regions where the use of conventional single cross hybrids, is still limited.
Respuesta del maíz al nitrógeno y la rotación con Canavalia, bajo dos tipos de labranza. Río Hato, Panamá, 1993-94.

Published: October 2018

An experiment was carried out for two consecutive years in order to evaluate the response of maize with the legume Canavalia ensiformis, and compared to a crop without legumes. The rotative plots were established at the beginning of the rainy season (May). In September of each year we planted anotherexperiment with rice. We evaluated two types of cultivation: one consisting of the incorporation of present legumes and weeds, present in the field before showing, and the other one consisted of leaving them on the surface. We evaluated four systems: one plot where we cut the legumes and left the waste on the site (CanR + F); another plot where the legume grew, and then we cutthe vegetative section ofthe plant and extracted the waste out ofthe plot (CanR): another plot with no legume and where we dumped the waste from the preceding plot (CanF), and the last plot with no legumes at all (SLeg). We found a highly significant response to the residual effect of the systems, and the group with the highest yielding was the CanR and also the CanR+F, with 5.39 and 5.28 tJha, respectively, followed by the Sleg plot, with a yield of2.50tJha. The response to N application was also very significant, wiht average yields of 2.82, 4.54 and 4.99 t/ha, for levels of 0,75 and 150 kg of N/ha, respectively. The interaction of N Doses X Sistems was highly significant.

Based on results from 89-91,92-95; the Regional Coro Program established 12 regional trials to evaluate severallevels of humus (0,2.5,5 and 10 t/ha) at varying levels of Nitrogen (0.75 and 150 kg/ha). Some of these trials have been performed for two or three years at the same site. A negative interaction between net effect of humus and grain yield was found. Response to N was positive at all localities. At all humus levels, yield increased from 0 to 75 kg/ha of N; however, no difference was observed between 75 and 150 kg/ha of N. Ear rot was more related to low N levels than to high humus levels. Results suggest that in order to avoid negative impact of superficial humus on corn grain yield, N must be added at a dose ranging between 100 and 150 kg/ha.
Combate de coyolillo (Cyperus rotundus) en caña de azúcar (Saccharum off'icinarum L.): hacia un manejo integral.

Published: October 2018

Weed control is an important component of the production cost of sugarcane thus, it should be performed in a rational manner. The history of agriculture is rich i examples that confirm the integrated weed management(IWM) strategy as the most sustainable. An experiment comparing herbicides herbicides-tillage, tillage, and band control against whole area control was conductedin a field with ahistory ofhigh infestations of purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.). Pyrazosulfuron-etil preemergence to the crop folIowed by 2,4-D postemergence to the crop showed a population of the weed similar to the glyphosate/tillage treatment as well as to the tillage/tillage treatment, in alI cases, significantly lower than the weedy check. Weed control over the whole area was equivalent to weed control in bands of 25 cm to each side of the crop rows in terms of crop yield. Other alternatives that might be used as part of an integrated weed management in conjunction with the best treatments found in this experiment are discussed.

An agreement was signed in 1982 between the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) in Palmira, and two official Panamanian institutions for agricultural research: the Panamanian Institute for Agricultural Research (IDIAP), and the University of Panamas Agricultural Sciencies Faculty (FCA). This project was carried out between 1982 and 1988, and its main purpose was to obtain improved rice germplasm under the irrigation and normal conditions prevailing in the zone. The development and achievements of this project are discussed in this documento Key sites for evaluations of segregating genotypes (F2-F8) were identified, and a gene flow was established which joined the different selection sites in Panama with the CIAT rice projects and the international rice experiments in Latin America and the Caribbean. A total of 38.305 segregating lines were evaluated, including international nurseries. The selection average percentage was 13%. Susceptibility to the main diseases and drought stress were the most selective important factors for germplasm failure. These results show the importance of interinstitutional cooperation. The results obtained went beyond the borders and time-frame that were initially established for this project.

Published: October 2018

A project for non-technical production of bean seeds was implemented in the Caisán and San Andrés districts of Renacimiento and Bugaba, province of Chiriquí, Panama, in 1989. The objectives of this project were to contribute to solve the problem of scarcity of good quality seeds to be used by producers, to accelerate diffusion of new varieties, and to train technicians and growers in the cultivation of beans for seed production. Over the eight years of the project implementation, an average of 25.23 t of seed per year have been produced in an area of 17 hectares, with an average yield of 1.512 kg/ha in both locations. Technicians and growers have been trained through seminars, workshops, demonstration plots, and field trips related to bean seed production. New technologies were diffused through the project, especially improved varieties including Barriles, Renacimiento, Primavera, IDIAP-R2 and IDIAP-C l. In order to handle the production and marketing of seeds produced annually in each productive area, farmers were organized in a seed-producers association.

Varieties of Guaymí bean and the MUS 181 line were evaluated in five locations in Costa Rica, in five plant populations (140.000; 170.000; 200.000; 230.000 and 260.000 plants per hectare). Some plants were sprayed with benomyl 50PM fungicide at 0.35 kg per hectare, while others did not receive such treatment. Yield losses caused by pathogenic agents were determined, and an economic analysis of the treatment was performed. A low incidence of Mustia Hilachosa/bean diseases was reported on treated plants. Plant populations of 140.000 and 170.000 plants per hectare produced the greatest profit and the highest marginal return rateo
Relación entre el estrés y las bacterias entomopatógenas Pantoea (Erwinia) agglomerans (herbicola) y Bacillus cereus en jobotos (Col: Melolonthidae) (Phyllophaga spp., Anomala spp. y Cyclocephala spp.), en Costa Rica.
Authors: Vargas Edgar , Abarca Giselle
Published: October 2018

Concentrations of Colony Forming Units (CFU) were determined for two entomopathogenic bacteria (Pantoea agglomerans and Bacillus cereus), at the egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages of agriculturally important Phyllophaga and Cyclocephala white grubs, which were collected in five agroecosystems in Costa Rica. L2 and L3  larvae of Phyllophaga elenans collected in all regions where the study was conducted were extensive carriers of Pantoea agglomerans and Bacillus cereu. L2 and L3 larvae of Phyllophaga obsoleta, Phyllophaga menetriesi, Cyclocephala sanguinicollis and Cyclocephala castaniella found in the Central Valley and Central Pacific regions were carriers of Pantoea agglomerans and Bacillus cereus bacteria. In 60% to 90% of larvae in all white grub varieties studied, Pantoea agglomerans showed greater concentrations of CFU than Bacillus cereu, which showed the lowest CFU concentration. Egg, pupal, and adult mortality in all Phyllophaga species was due to Pantoea agglomerans in 62%, 80% and 22.5% of the cases, respectively. A possible antagonistic interaction between Pantoea agglomerans and Bacillus cereus is also discussed. In general, it was noted that light and larval manipulation were the main stress factors affecting these scarabids.

Published: October 2018

With the publication of Bold Beginnings, Reception teachers and educationists felt their principles and practices were under attack. The main focus of the debate that ensued targeted the formality of learning, and especially teaching writing sitting at desks. The comments about
the mathematics practices of the good schools incorporating Year 1 expectations into Reception classes largely went unchallenged. This article offers a commentary on the findings from Bold Beginnings in relation to mathematics and contrasts them with the recent announcements for the
draft expectations at the end of the Reception year.
On the Promise and Poverty of Quality Teaching
Authors: Fielding Michael
Published: October 2018

This is an edited version of a presentation Michael Fielding was invited to give in April 2006 at the Post Primary Teachers' Association Professional Conference. The conference, entitled Quality Teaching – Leading the Way, took place at the Wellington Convention Centre,
Wellington, New Zealand. In his presentation, Michael contrasts two approaches to consideration of the idea of 'quality' in relation to teaching: performance quality and educational quality. The former is a disciplinary device designed to control at a distance. The latter requires rigorous
reflexive thinking from which emerges judgement of values. The ways in which both approaches, and their implications, continue to resonate are examined.

Published: October 2018

Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents the third most common type of cancer worldwide with high incidence rates in our country as well. Both dietary habits and lifestyle factors have a strong contribution in preventing colorectal cancer. A healthy dietary pattern based on adequate intake of fruit, non-starchy vegetables, and whole grains is associated with positive outcomes regarding CRC development. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the dietary intake of plant-based food and food groups, along with lifestyle habits of CRC patients. A case-control study was conducted during April 2015 – October 2017. Patients (n=151) recently diagnosed with CRC and undergoing conventional treatment were recruited from Medisprof Oncology Hospital. Controls (n=151) were selected randomly from generally healthy adults. Dietary and lifestyle data were collected during a face to face interview and the applied lifestyle questionnaire included 74 items. The results showed that intake of specific food groups with high content of bioactive components was significantly higher in the control group compared to the CRC group (p<0.05), even though overall vegetable intake was similar between groups (p=0.51). Results also showed significant lower intakes of fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, nuts and legumes in the CRC group.
The 1D normal compression line and structure permitted space of low–medium density chalk
Authors: Alvarez-Borges F. J. , Madhusudhan B. N. , Richards D. J.
Published: October 2018

The one-dimensional (1D) normal compression behaviour of low–medium density chalk is investigated by way of high-pressure oedometer tests on intact and reconstituted specimens. Test results reveal that a single 1D normal compression line (NCL) exists for reconstituted chalks within the assessed density range, a feature that has not been reported previously. Laser diffraction particle-size analyses and scanning electron microscopy indicate that the ‘uniqueness’ of the NCL may be associated with comparable grain shapes and size distributions, and to grain breakage. These observations underscore the applicability of critical state concepts to describe the mechanical behaviour of reconstituted chalk. The compression paths of intact samples and the NCL for reconstituted chalk define an intact density-controlled structure-permitted space, which is used to estimate macroscopic bond strength. These calculations show that low-density intact chalk is far more reliant on cement bonds than medium density intact chalk to tolerate loading without exhibiting plastic straining. Therefore, the increase in intact strength observed with greater densities appears to result principally from stronger fabric, rather than stronger bonding.
MULTİPAR GEBELERDE PRİMER SEZARYEN ENDİKASYONLARI
Authors: KARBANCIOĞLU CANTÜRK Füsun , SONGUR DAĞLI Selda
Published: October 2018

Amaç: Kliniğimizde 2014-2015
yıllarında primer sezaryen ile doğum yapmış multipar gebelerin sezaryen
endikasyonlarını saptamayı ve bu endikasyonları primipar
gebelerin sezaryen endikasyonlarıyla karşılaştırmayı amaçladık.

Materyal ve metot:
Veriler retrospektif olarak hasta dosyalarından elde edilmiştir. Yaş, gravide,
parite, abortus sayısı ve sezaryen endikasyonları kaydedilmiştir. Primipar ve
multipar gebeler için sezaryen endikasyonları tespit edilmiştir.

Bulgular:  Hastanemizde 2014 yılında 1021, 2015 yılında
ise 1144 sezaryen ile doğum olmuştur. Bu doğumların 871’i primer sezaryendir.
Primer sezaryen olanların 692’si primipar, 179’u multipardır. Multiparlar
gebelerin yaş, gravida, parite, abortus sayıları saptanmıştır. Multipar
gebelerin ortalama yaşı 31,6 ± 6,2 gravidası 3,47 ± 1,58 paritesi 3,07 ± 1,27
abortus sayısı 0,41 ± 0,73’tür. Multipar gebelerin en sık sezaryen olma nedeni
fetal distrestir (% 33,5). İkinci ve üçüncü sıradaki endikasyonlarsa sırasıyla
ilerlemeyen eylem ve malprezentasyondur. Multipar gebelerde sezaryen
endikasyonuyla yaş,  gravida, parite,
abortus sayıları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmamıştır. Primipar gebelerde
en sık sezaryen ile doğum nedenleri ise ilerlemeyen eylem ( %31,0),
sefalopelvik uyumsuzluk (%23,4) ve fetal distrestir (%20,2). Primipar ve
multipar gebelerin primer sezaryen endikasyonlarının dağılımı  istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olarak
farklıdır. (p=0,000)

Sonuç: Sezaryen ile doğum oranları giderek artmaktadır.
Primipar ve multipar gebelerin primer sezaryen endikasyonlarının dağılımı  istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olarak
farklıdır. (p=0,000). Daha önce normal doğum yapmış gebeler daha çok subjektif
nedenlerden (ilerlemeyen eylem, fetal distres gibi) sezaryene alınabilmektedir.
Hekim üzerindeki baskının azaltılması, ebe doğumlarının artırılması, gebe
eğitimlerinin artırılması sezaryen oranlarının azaltılmasına katkı
sağlayabilir.

The Mediator Role of Employee Empowerment on the Effect of Organizational Learning on Innovation
Authors: Yıldırım Fatih
Published: October 2018

The requests and needs of consumers change rapidly in parallel to rapidly changing and improving global world. As a result, organizations have to strive with this rapid change and improvement, and even start the change. One of the newest and the main weapons that an organization could have to survive and stand against national and international threats is innovation. Organizations should place importance on such a strong competition tool and search for ways to make sustainable innovation happen. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to demonstrate that organizational learning increases innovation through obtaining, sharing, evaluating, using and storing information. Additionally, the purpose is to demonstrate that employee empowerment plays a mediator role in the effect of organizational learning on innovation. In this research study conducted with 140 employees of a factory that exports to more than 50 countries, structural equation modelling and LISREL software were used. The analyses showed that the vision and open mindedness dimensions of organizational learning affects innovation types (process, strategy, market, product) significantly and positively. Additionally, employee empowerment affects only strategy and product innovation significantly and positively. On the other hand, employee empowerment plays a mediator role in all the relationships between vision and open mindedness, and strategy and product innovation.

A análise de visibilidade como ferramenta para concepção do projeto de sinalização de emergência
Authors: Andrade Daniel Paulo de , Trigueiro Edja Bezzera Faria , Pinto Edna Moura
Published: October 2018

Em edificações de alta complexidade a questão da navegação e orientação pode configurar um problema para os usuários. A sinalização de emergência é o principal mecanismo de suporte ao ocupante nestas situações. É observado como problema de pesquisa a falta de critérios claros das normas brasileiras de sinalização de emergência sobre a leitura e eficiência na distribuição da sinalização no espaço edificado. Este fator é decorrente do caráter prescritivo das normas brasileiras. Desta maneira, o artigo tem por objetivo avaliar a possibilidade do uso da Análise Sintática do Espaço (ASE) como ferramenta para a investigação e síntese de informações que subsidiem a elaboração de um projeto de sinalização de emergência. Para tanto, foram realizados três estudos de caso em edificações que concentram alta densidade de pessoas. Os estudos tiveram como método de trabalho a aplicação da Norma Brasileira 13434:2004 da Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas e o estudo de visibilidade apoiado pelo escopo teórico da ASE, o que permitiu a comparação dos dados e a formulação de hipóteses, uma vez que esta pesquisa ainda se encontra em desenvolvimento, que levem ao desenvolvimento de parâmetros de concepção e avaliação da eficiência do projeto de sinalização de emergência. Os resultados alcançados até o momento demonstraram o potencial positivo do uso da análise de visibilidade e junto da aplicação da norma, o que tende a mostrar que o uso da ASE como ferramenta de leitura da edificação pode dar suporte para a concepção do projeto de sinalização de emergência em espaços complexos.

Illiberal Secularism. Fake Inclusion through Neutrality
Authors: Innerarity Grau Carmen
Published: October 2018

This paper analyses how, despite the universalist and inclusive vocation of secularism, this has become the main argument for the exclusion of Muslim religious practices, with the consequent limitation of individual liberties. Thus, an institution thought as a procedure to guarantee the equality of the citizens through the differentiation between the political and religious spheres becomes a feature that defines the identity of Europe and that it is necessary to defend against the accommodation demands raised by Muslim immigrants. Obviously, it is not possible to establish a cause-effect relationship, but the climate of hostility towards the cultural difference spread by the entry into several European polities of radical right parties, clearly hostile to Islam and Muslims, could be influencing, in some way, the political orientation of European governments in this regard.Received: 17 December 2017Accepted: 8 May 2018Published online: 31 October 2018
Pensar a legitimidade da jurisdição constitucional em tempos de crise de política
Authors: Bacha e Silva Diogo , Bahia Alexandre Gustavo Melo Franco Moraes
Published: October 2018

O presente trabalho procura observar a legitimidade da jurisdição constitucional em tempos de crise política. Refletimos sobre o nascimento da jurisdição constitucional enquanto paradoxo e a problemática discutida sobre sua legitimidade. Em tempos de crise política, o subsistema político provoca irritações sistêmicas fazendo surgir semânticas novas que a jurisdição constitucional deve transformar em comunicações jurídicas. Identificamos o populismo judicial e a primazia dos argumentos econômicos como novos elementos que provocam crise na legitimidade democrática da jurisdição constitucional.

Visceral Leishmaniasis Associated with Macrophage Activation Syndrome and Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage in a Lupus Patient
Authors: Costa Andreia , Pais Cármen , Cerqueira Sofia , Salvador Fernando
Published: October 2018

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a heterogeneous and unpredictable autoimmune disease which can be complicated to approach and treat. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage are rare disease complications. The authors describe a clinical case of a 32-year-old woman with lupus and fever of unknown origin. From the investigations performed, the myelogram revealed hemophagocytosis and Leishmania parasites, therefore liposomal amphotericin B was then started. In addition to directed therapy, she maintained fever that evolved with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. The myelogram was repeated and showed that she still had hemophagocytosis but now without parasites. Corticotherapy was increased and intravenous Immunoglobulin was started, with improvement. Rituximab was started as a result of macrophage activation syndrome and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. Months after discharge, she began once again to have sustained fever and Leishmania parasites were found again, therefore liposomal amphotericin B was started once more associated with miltefosine. She continues being followed-up as she is asymptomatic and using steroidsin weaning scheme.

Authors: Sanches Fabiane La Flor Ziegler , Ferreira Tatiana , Guimarães Rita de Cássia Avellaneda
Published: October 2018

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a prevalência de risco nutricional entre adultos e idosos hospitalizados por meio de três protocolos de triagem nutricional. Estudo de caráter transversal com 111 pacientes admitidos em um hospital universitário. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Nutritional Risk Screening-NRS, Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool-MUST, Mini Nutrition Assessment Short Form®-MNA_SF. Do total de pacientes avaliados, 55% (n=61) eram adultos. O risco nutricional esteve presente em 73,0% dos pacientes de acordo com a NRS-2002, 70,3% pela MUST e 76,6% pela MNA-SF. Foi evidente a importância da triagem nutricional, pois houve uma prevalência acima de 70% em risco nutricional de acordo com os três protocolos. Ressalta-se que os protocolos correlacionaram-se fortemente entre si (R= 0,795), apresentando pouca variabilidade entre os métodos. Independente do protocolo utilizado foi possível observar que os pacientes em risco têm maior permanência hospitalar, pior desfecho clínico e consequentemente são mais onerosos para a instituição.

Published: October 2018

Objetivou-se identificar o conhecimento dos indivíduos sobre as principais zoonoses transmitidas por gatos, seus mecanismos de transmissão, grupo de risco e meios de comunicação utilizados para informação sobre zoonoses. O estudo foi realizado com frequentadores de uma Policlínica Universitária em São Paulo, através da aplicação de um questionário estruturado. Na amostra constituída por 80 pessoas, 29% afirmaram conhecer a palavra zoonose e apenas 1% conheciam a esporotricose. Uma parcela significativa dos entrevistados desconhecia as formas de transmissão (39%), grupos mais vulneráveis para a toxoplasmose (39%) e raiva (21%). Os postos de saúde (41%) seguido da internet (29%) foram os meios mais utilizados para obter informações sobre zoonoses. Diante dos resultados, evidenciou-se a necessidade da difusão de conhecimento sobre zoonoses através de novas estratégias educativas em saúde de caráter preventivo, bem como a capacitação dos profissionais envolvidos nesse processo.

Characteristics of Primary Glaucoma in Eye Clinic of RA Basoeni Hospital, Mojokerto, Indonesia
Authors: Rayungsista Awina
Published: October 2018

Glaucoma is the third cause of blindness after cataracts and refractive disorders. About 4.5 million people worldwide suffer from blindness due to primary glaucoma. A study on the characteristics of primary glaucoma in Eye Clinic at RA Basoeni Mojokerto Hospital in the period of January-December 2016 had been performed in a descriptive cross sectional retropective study, observing: glaucoma type, gender, age, laterality, visual acuity, and intra ocular pressure (IOP). The type of primary glaucoma that most patients experienced was primary closed angle glaucoma. In primary open-angle glaucoma, the number of male patients was almost the same as female patients. Whereas, in primary closed-angle glaucoma, there were more female patients than male. Primary glaucoma patients, both open and closed, were mostly >60 years old. Both primary open and closed angle glaucoma occurred mostly bilaterally. The highest visual acuity of primary glaucoma patients was mild vision loss and near-total vision loss. More glaucoma patients had IOP >21 mmHg, both in right and left eye.
Local Mapping Profile of Mitochondrial DNA (MtDNA)-Loop in Forensic Identification
Authors: Yudianto Ahmad , Margaret Nola
Published: October 2018

To prove that mitochondrial DNA damage is not total or partial, as has been found in the preliminary study, studies need to be done to determine the opportunity of successful use of the mitochondrial DNA mini-primer set in an amplicon product below 250 bp. This is important because it can overcome quality problems in degraded DNA, which will complicate the process of DNA forensic identification. This was an observational analytic study with cross sectional design. The study material was DNA from blood and sweat stains taken from abandoned bodies. Samples consisted of 24 pieces of blood and sweat spots. The measurements of mean DNA levels and sample purity used UV-Visible Spectrophotometer, revealing mean DNA in blood samples of 152.89 ± 85.71 µg/ml and sweat samples of 89.19 ± 5.58 µg/ml, and sample purity of DNA  and sweat were 1.89 ± 0.71 and 1.69 ± 0.76. Whereas, the result of D-Loop mtDNA: D-Loop I 143bp nt: 16268 -16410 and D-Loop HVS II 126bp nt: 34 -159, indicating blood spots were detected positively >95% and sweat was detected positively in 5%-20%. Results of DNA sequencing from mtDNA of blood spots and sweat spots in 126 bp and 143 bp amplicon revealed nucleotide damage marked with the letter 'N'. In conclusion, mini-primers of mitochondrial DNA in the amplification product mtDNA D-Loop HVS II 126 bp (nt 59-134) and D-Loop HVS I 143 bp (nt 16268-16410) were effectively used as support for DNA profiling in forensic medicine.

Authors: Widodo Wimbuh Tri , Yudianto Ahmad , Astuti W Sri Puji
Published: October 2018

This study aimed to identify human DNA from mixing human and chicken blood samples by utilizing Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and cytochrome b gene primer. The cytochrome b gene is a gene located in mitochondrial DNA and has high variation of sequence relation between one species and another. PCR analysis was performed using human cytochrome b gene primer in variation of DNA templates (0 ng, 0.01 ng, 0.1 ng, 1 ng, 10 ng and 100 ng), human blood percentages (100%, 50%, 40 %, 25%, 10%, 5%, 1%, 0%) and sample age before analysis (0 day, 3 days, 7 days, 10 days, and 15 days). The minimum DNA template obtained in this study was 0.01 ng and minimum percentage of human blood in the mixture was 1%. Blood spots on cloth isolated on days 0, 3, 7, 10 and 15 could still be analyzed and the resulting of DNA band (157 bp) had the same intensity/thickness. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that human blood in the mixture of human and chicken blood can be identified using PCR with specific primers of cytochrome b gene. PCR using specific primer of cytochrome b gene may help forensic practitioners to identify human sample in mixed biological samples.

Authors: Lina Rifda Naufa , Rahmadi Mahardian , Khotib Junaidi
Published: October 2018

The present study aimed to determine the potency of erythropoietin as angiogenesis inducer in ischemic stroke rats model. Animal model was treated by right unilateral common carotid artery occlusion (rUCCAO) for 90 minutes. The stroke model produced decreased motor function. Eight to 12 week-old Wistar rats were used. rHuEPO was administered for 7 days, starting at 24 hours after stroke induction. Motor functions were measured before and 1, 3 and 7 days after rUCCAO. Whereas, histological damage and VEGF expression were evaluated at day 14. The results showed that rHuEPO significantly increased motor function on day 7, reduced the number of damaged body cell and increased VEGF expression in the thalamus area on day 14. As a conclusion, rHuEPO may restore the motoric function and prevent brain neuronal death by inducing angiogenesis through the increase in the expression of VEGF in rUCCAO-induced ischemic stroke model.
