Authors: Hermanto Bambang
Published: October 2019

Biodiversity and Distribution of Mushroom Coral (Fungiidae) in The Amurang Bay, South Minahasa. Mushroom coral is the one of sclerectinians that has essential role to form coral reefs. This kind of species act as a microhabitat for other marine organisms such as shrimp. cryptobenthic fish, barnacle and crab. Most of these unique species have an ability to move from one habitat to another during benthic phase. The aim of this research was to determine the community structure and distribution of mushroom corals. This research was conducted in February 2017 at 4 research stations using belt transect method with  50x2m2 length of transects. The results showed that 431 individuals consisting of 19 species and 11 genus were recorded. Generally, the range of values of diversity index (H) was between 0,85-1,06  (low to medium level). The evennes index (J) values was ranged from 0,81 to 0,89 (high level) while the richness index (D) was 2,47-3,58 (low level). Lythophyllon repanda, Lythophyllon concinna and Fungia fungites were the most dominant mushroom coral spesies in the Amurang Bay waters.

The Carbon Stock and Potential Uptake of Seagrass Beds in the Northern and Eastern Part of Bintan Island. Seagrass is marine plant vegetation which have large potention on reducing carbondioxide emission effects in the environment. Nevertheless, the information about this potention is still limited, so the seagrass beds are still having less attention. Therefore, in April 2016 a research has done to estimate the potential of carbon stock and uptake at two location in Bintan Island, that were in the northern part (Pengudang Village) and in the eastern part (Teluk Bakau). Carbon stock estimation done by observing the seagrass density, meanwhile the carbon uptake by seagrasses was measured based on their growth/production rate. Its was known from the observation that the carbon stock potention of seagrass beds in both locations were almost at the same value, which were 133.24 gC/m2 (in the northern side) and 133.71 gC/m2 (in the eastern side). Nevertheless, the uptake of carbon (carbondioxide) which is used by segrass to produce leaves was higher in the eastern side at 0.50 gC/d/m2 than in the northern side at 0.10 gC/d/m2. From that productivity, the carbon storage rate by seagrass beds are 0.0630 gC/d/m2 in the north and 0.3375 gC/d/m2 in the east. Thus, seagrass bed area in the eastern side of Bintan Island (Teluk Bakau) was having higher carbon stock and uptake potential than in the northern side (Pengudang).

Physical and Chemical Properties of Waters in Java – Ambang Dewakang Sea.The Java Sea is a region of important pelagic fish production in Indonesia. The distribution of abundance of fish is affected by changes in water physical and chemical properties. The important chemical property that can affect the abundance of the fish is the availability of nutrients. Nutrients are the basic compounds of marine biogeochemical cycles that play important role in increasing aquatic productivity through growth of the phytoplankton. The purposes of this study are to know recent condition of chemical and physical characteristics of the sea water within the region Java Sea ‒ Ambang Dewakang and to investigate relationships among these parameters. This research was conducted in November 2014 at 7 stations in the region. The observed parameters were physical (temperature, salinity, turbidity, density) and chemical such as nutrients (DIN, PO4-P, SiO3-Si), pH, and DO. CTD (Conductivity-Temperature-Depth) SBE (Sea Bird Electronics) 911 Plus was used to measure water physical properties. Water sample was collected using Rosette sampler, while analysis of nutrients concentration employed methods from Strickland and Parsons 1972. The result showed that temperatures in the Java Sea ranged from 13.06 – 30.33 °C with an average of 25.29 °C, whereas salinity ranged between 33.07 – 34.74 psu with an average of 34.41 psu. Variations within temperature and salinity showed a homogeneous condition due to the influence of mixing processes. Concentration range of DIN (NO3-N+NO2-N+NH4-N), PO4-P, SiO3-Si were from 0.070 to 0.180 mg/L, from 0.004 to 0.022 mg/L and from 0.082 to 0.361 mg/L, with an average of 0.096 mg/L, 0.010 mg/L, and 0.159 mg/L respectively. The ratio DIN/DIP of 13.24 showed that the waters quality of Java Sea was in the moderate category.

Vertical Profile of Banda Sea Temperature Related to El Niño Events in the East Pacific and Central Pacific.Eastern Pacific (EP) and Central Pacific El Niño have different characteristics such as mechanism, evolution, impact to Sea Surface Temperature (SST), and rainfall. The character of two types of El Nino affect the temperature of the sea, on the near-surface as well as in deeper layer, in other regions including Banda Sea. This study is aimed to understand the response of Banda Sea vertical sea temperature profile to both El Niño types using sea temperature data from Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) v.2.2.4 from January 1950 until December 2010 (60 years), Oceanic Nino Index (ONI), and mixed layer depth (MLD) from SODA3. Eastern Pacific El Niño and CP El Niño cooled Banda Sea about -1.5°C and 0.9°C, respectively. The maximum cooling due to both El Niño occurred in the thermocline layer (at the depth of 90 to 120m). The maximum temperature decrease during EP El Niño occurred at the depth of 90 to 120 m, while during CP El Niño the maximum temperature decrease was at 140 to 160 m and 160 to 200m in western and eastern Banda Sea, respectively. The temperature of the near-surface layer responded rapidly to CP El Niño while in the deep layer the temperature responded more to EP El Niño. The Banda deep sea layer was cooling after both types of El Niño extinct while the temperature of near-surface layer was increasing when CP El Niño extinct.

Heavy Metal Contamination in the Coastal Area of Tanjung Selor North Kalimantan. The establishment of the North Kalimantan Province transformed the Tanjung Selor region and its surroundings into the provincial capital so that it will grow rapidly, both in terms of development and other activities. Monitoring environmental conditions, one of which is heavy metals in the waters need to be carried out as a starting environment before the area develops. This is important given the nature of heavy metals that change toxic at concentrations that exceed the threshold. The purpose of this study is to identify the potential for heavy metal contamination in the coastal area of Tanjung Selor, Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan Province. Heavy metals studied is limiting to mercury (Hg), Chromium (Cr), Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb) and Zinc (Zn). The location of the sampling was carried out using Landsat 8 imagery designed to represent the condition of the coastal area. Samples come from well water, river water, seawater, and marine sediments at 4, 9 and 5 observation stations respectively. Samples were taken on August 2014  using the grab sample method and analyzed for heavy metal content using the standard American Public Health Association (APHA) method with the Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) instrument. Of the 23 samples produced, only 3 observation stations were not contaminated with heavy metals. While in the other 20 samples one of three types of heavy metals were found that exceeded the threshold. In general, Cu is the most detected metal exceeding the threshold in the study area found in samples of river water, sea water and sediment. Zn is found to exceed the threshold in well water. Pb is found to exceed the threshold in sample 5 of river water. Cd is found to exceed the threshold in samples of river water, sea water and sediment. The source of pollution is thought to originate from coal mining activities, oil palm plantations, and household waste. The overall results of this study show that river estuaries tend to accumulate heavy metals.

The paper presents data on the cellular and humoral immunity in different periods of insulindependent diabetes mellitus (with the disease standing of 0.50.4 years, group A; 31.8 years, group B; and 154 years, group C). Group A patients presented with the immunity system activation: increased counts of T cells, В lymphocytes, T helpers and T inductors, increased share of active T cells (that is, DR positive ones), elevated content of IgM, IgG, IgA (21451 mg%, 1200124 mg%, 25034 mg%, respectively) as against the reference group (15674, 914387, 18949 mg%, respectively) (p0.01). In group В patients, who suffered a longer disease, the immunity parameters were within the normal range, and in group C patients, in whom the disease standing was the longest, these shifts were contrarywise as against those in group A, that is, T and В cell counts were lowered, as were the counts of T-helpers-inductors, lg levels, and the phagocytosis index was 655 vs. 8510 % in the controls (p0.05), the phagocytosis level being 42 vs. 102 in the controls (p0.05). The authors analyze the association of the HLA system characteristics with the immunity shifts. Patients with the HLA A9, B8, B15, B18, DR3, DR4 presented with significant shifts in the immunity status as against those with the HLA Al, A10, B5, B12, B16, B27, DR5, DR7. These data confirm a high informative value of the HLA markers for predicting the degree of alterations in the immunological homeostasis.

Published: October 2019

Measurements of the daily fluctuations in the sugar blood levels, fasting test, the double glucose tolerance test, and measurements of the blood insulin and C peptide levels were carried out in 13 patients with organic hyperinsulinism prior to insulinoma removal and in the immediate and late periods after it. The double glucose tolerance test was for the first time used to study carbohydrate metabolism in patients with organic hyperinsulinism. The curve of this test in insulinoma patients was found to resemble that in health, though with lower levels and a more abrupt lowering of its end section. This feature may be used to define the origin of hyper insulinism. No correlation between the blood glucose, insulin, and C peptide levels was detectable before surgery in this patient population. After surgery the imbalance in these three parameters relationships is eliminated. Carbohydrate metabolism parameters normalized after the operation; the lowest blood sugar level was increased twofold in the fasting test. Transitory hyperglycemia persisted for two weeks after elimination of hyperinsulinism. Daily fluctuations in the blood sugar levels normalize during the third week after surgery.

Published: October 2019

Forty-eight patients suffering from diabetes mellitus, obesity, hyper- and hypothyrosis, Icenko-Cushings disease were examined to elucidate the relationship between blood plasma carbon isotopic composition and the type of the endocrine disease. This value varied within the range of 19.7 to 24.7 , the mean value being 5 . Blood plasma carbon in the diabetics is enriched for 12C light isotope (delta-13C from 23.0 to 24.5 ) as against a similar characteristic in obese patients (delta-13C from 20.5 to 21.99 ). Patients with hypo- and hyperthyrosis and the Icenko- Cushings disease have a wider range of delta-13C values that seems to be explained by the Icenko-Cushings disease heterogeneity and the presence of biorhythms. Clear-cut isotopic differences in the blood sera of adults and children were revealed whatever the disease type, these differences indicating the changes in cellular metabolism energy in the ontogenesis. These data can be satisfactorily explained within the frames of the model of cellular division of carbon isotopes, suggested previously.

Due to the importance of this problem, the introduction of a properly organized system of training patients and their families in self-control methods, which leads to the achievement of stable compensation for the disease, a decrease in the frequency of acute complications, reducing the time of hospitalization, and better social adaptation of patients.
Hormonal function of the adrenal cortex in «medical castration» induced by prolonged infusion of LH releasing factor agonists
Authors: Goncharova N. D. , Mkhitarova L. A.
Published: October 2019

Time course of the major corticosteroid hormones and the precursors in the biosynthesis chain was studied, as was the type of corticosteroid complex formation with transcortin in the peripheral blood plasma in male papua hamadryas exposed to a 4-16 week infusions of LH releasing factor agonists (busereline, Hoechst A. G., Germany, and surfagon, Cardiology Research Center of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences) with the use of osmotic mini-pumps (Alza Corp., Palo Alto, USA). Suppression of the gonadal function resultant from prolonged infusion of LH releasing factor agonists was not associated with essential shifts in the adrenal steroidogenesis and in the specific corticosteroid transport. Such exposure induced a somewhat more marked activation of glucocorticoid and adrenal androgen secretion in response to acute stressor exposure (a single injection of insulin in'a dose of 0.2 U/kg b. m.). One should bear in mind this fact when prescribing therapy with LH releasing factor agonists to patients with prostatic carcinoma, for the adrenal androgens are transformed into active androgens in the prostatic tissue.
On the pathogenesis of thyroalgia
Authors: Bukhman A. I. , Fedoseeva G. I. , Puishina T. V.
Published: October 2019

The authors analyze thyroalgias occurring in various thyroid diseases and diseases of the adjacent organs and tissues. They come to a conclusion that as far as thyroid diseases are concerned, true thyroalgias are the most incident in various thyroiditis forms, thyroid tumors, postoperative cicatrices, and are explained by the pathologic process impact on glandular capsule (stretching, intergrowth, pressure, etc.). Of diseases not directly related to thyroid but causing thyroalgias (pseudothyroalgias) laryngitis, pharyngitis, and osseous conditions are the most incident, which indirectly influence pain development. Pseudothyroalgias should be differentiated from such osseous changes in the neck as deforming spondylosis, spondylarthrosis, extra cervical ribs (a developmental abnormality), and structural specificities of temporal bone styloid processes.

Published: October 2019

A ten-day course of karsil (silimarin, legalon) or silibor therapy improved the absorption (as indicated by ueviridin test) and oxidative-antitoxic (as shown by antipyrin test) hepatocyte functions in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with hepatosis. A similar ten-day course of Liv-52 did not change the studied liver parameters. lnductothermal exposure of the splenic area (a 20 min session daily for 5 days) improved the absorption and antitoxic functions of the liver in diabetics. A positive effect of splenic inductothermia persisted for at least two weeks. The peak values of ultrasonic amplitude histogram of the liver reflect the time course of liver status in the course of karsil and silibor therapy and splenic inductothermal exposure.

Kinetic parameters of GABA receptor binding by rat adenohypophysis membranes under conditions of modeling various levels of corticosteroids and ACGT in the body
Authors: Mishunina T. M. , Kononenko V. Ya.
Published: October 2019

Kinetic parameters of l4C-GABA specific binding by rat adenohypophyseal plasma membranes were studied in experiments on modelling various corticosteroid and ACTH levels in animal body. A single hydrocortisone injection did not change Ka for high- and low-affinity GABA receptors, the number of the former (Bmax) increasing in this case. Repeated hydrocortisone injections were associated with Ko reduction for high-affinity GABA receptors and a noticeable increase of Kn for low-affinity receptors, with their number reducing. ACTH injection did not change the kinetic parameters of GABA binding with receptors. The number of high-affinity GABA receptors and their affinity reduced after removal of adrenals whereas the number of low-affinity receptors in this case was increasing. A single hydrocortisone injection to adrenalectomized rats had a normalizing effect on adenohypophyseal GABA receptors. Analysis of the results and changes in blood hormonal levels indicated that affinity changes in high-affinity receptors and changed number of low-affinity adenohypophyseal GABA receptors correlated with changes in ACTH and hydrocortisone changes.

Activities of the anterior hypothalamus neurosecretory nuclear enzymes in exposure to organophosphorus compounds
Authors: Shamsiyeva N. К. , Khusinov A. A.
Published: October 2019

Under study were activities of glycolysis enzymes: LDH, Crebs cycle SDH, those of electron transport system NAD and NADP-diaphorase, and of the hydrolytic enzymes, acid and alkaline phosphatases in the hypothalamus, as were morphofunctional shifts in these enzymes activities in poisoning with organophosphorus compounds. The experiments were carried out in 72 white male outbread rats weighing 180-200 g, that were administered PHOS antio (an organophosphorus compound) in a daily dose of 0.1 LD50 for 30 days. Early dates of poisoning were associated with an essential rise of the redox enzymes and a lowering of the hydrolytic enzymes levels, this being parallelled by morphologic signs of activation of the neurosecretory cells. Later high levels of neurosecretory material in the neurosecretory nuclei and reduced counts of neurosecretory cells were coupled with almost all the enzymes activities lowering. This permits a conclusion that changed activities of the enzymic systems may be one of the pathogenetic mechanisms and possible causes of neurosecretory cell dysfunction in pesticide poisonings
Vitamins and their role in the reproductive system functioning
Authors: Babichev V. N. , Yeltseva T. V.
Published: October 2019

The need to analyze literature data on the role of vitamins in the normal functioning of the reproductive system logically follows from the general formulation of the question of the mechanisms of its central regulation. Vitamins, like hormones, are highly active compounds involved in the work of all the links in the regulation of the gonadotropic function of the pituitary gland at the level of both the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland. A vitamin such as D3 with its generalized effect can be considered as an analogue of hormones involved in the implementation of hormonal effects at all levels. Clinical endocrinologists are also very interested in other fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A and E. Based on the foregoing, the authors attempted to describe existing concepts regarding the role of vitamins in the normal functioning of the reproductive system, their mechanisms of action, and the importance of using them for therapeutic purposes.

Authors: Pavlov A. V. , Doborzhginidze T. R. , Miro T. L. , Alexandrov Yu. K.
Published: October 2019

Structure and function of the regenerating thyroid fragment were studied in 18 adult white rats 30 days after partial resection of centromedial or peripheral fragments of the lobes similar in size using quantitative methods (organometry, his- tometry, measurements of blood serum hormones). The volume of glandular tissue removed in two series of experiments was 40 and 75 % of the total thyroid mass of experimental animals. Centromedial portions of the thyroid of intact rats were characterized by greater follicular epithelium volume (by 10 %) and C-cell content per section area (six-fold), as well as by a lesser mean diameter of the follicles (by 26 %) and colloid volumic fraction (by 40 %) in comparison with the peripheral segments. No reliable differences in the quantitative structural parameters (mass, tissue component volumic fractions, mean follicular diameter and follicular epithelium height) and hormonal activity of the regenerated tissue in the two variants of surgery were observed. The results indicate that thyroid parenchyma of various portions of the organs is similarly capable of full-value regeneration.
Конкуренция за заботу о пожилых: тактики социальных сервисов в новых условиях
Authors: Парфенова Оксана Анатольевна , Петухова Ирина Сергеевна
Published: October 2019

Сфера заботы о пожилых становится конкурентной: у привычных монополистов — государственных социальных сервисов — появились конкуренты, такие как НКО, бизнес-организации, неформальные/частные контракты, приемные семьи для пожилых. На фоне этого повышение стоимости обслуживания, отмена льгот и жесткие ограничения в наборах и количестве услуг приводят к снижению привлекательности обслуживания в государственных сервисах, столь привычных для пожилых и их семей. Возникает вопрос: как борются за пожилых клиентов государственные сервисы? На примере исследования государственных центров социального обслуживания населения (КЦСОНов/ЦСОНов) в пяти российских городах/регионах мы выделяем три тактики, которые используются ими для рекрутирования/удержания клиентов и повышения привлекательности предоставляемых услуг. Тактики по привлечению и удержанию клиентов строятся на поиске компромиссов с клиентами и их семьями в части оказания услуг; развитии платных и новых услуг, интересных не только самим пожилым, но и их семьям; на взаимодействии с волонтерами, бизнесом и другими учреждениями (здравоохранения, культуры, образовательными). Региональные различия проявляются в разнообразии провайдеров, доступе к обслуживанию и стоимости наборов услуг.
Фокусированное интервью в отечественной практике: Развернутый (личный) комментарий к статье Олега Оберемко и Натальи Терентьевой

Статья представляет собой отклик на публикацию О. Оберемко и Н. Терентьевой «Фокусированное интервью по Роберту Мертону: особенности и критерии эффективности метода». Приводятся аргументы за разведение методов фокусированного интервью и фокус-групп. Фокус-группы снискали себе большую популярность, но вынуждены за это платить размыванием границ метода. Фокусированное интервью не нуждается в легитимации через фокус-группы. Предпринятое О. Оберемко и Н. Терентьевой обращение к Руководству по фокусированному интервью Р. Мертона, М. Фиске и П. Кендалл, вполне доступному, но, похоже, недопрочитанному первоисточнику, является мощным ресурсом и помогает выделять важные аспекты метода. Среди таковых: связь фокусированного интервью с экспериментальной логикой, трактовка ретроспекции как «машины времени», сущность неструктурированных вопросов как элемента качественной методологии. Цель статьи — поддержать авторов в их актуализации первоисточника посредством контекстуализации фокусированного интервью в методических изданиях второй половины ХХ в. и обсуждения особенностей метода.

Antibacterial and antifungal two phenolic sesquiterpenes from Dysoxylum densiflorum
Authors: Dharmayani Ni Komang T. , Yoshimura Tsuyoshi , Hermawati Elvira , Juliawaty Lia D. , Syah Yana M.
Published: October 2019

A new phenolic sesquiterpene, dysoxyphenol (1), and the known sesquiterpene, 7R,10S-2-hydroxycalamenene (2), were isolated from the acetone extract of Dysoxylum densiflorum seeds. The structures of these compounds were determined based on physical, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, and mass spectral data. Both compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal properties against seven pathogenic bacteria and two wood-rotting fungi, respectively. The results showed that both compounds have significant antibacterial properties only against Bacillus subtilis (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration 28 μM), while in the antifungal evaluation compound 1 was found to be more active than compound 2. Therefore, compound 1 has promising antifungal properties that can be developed further for finding new antifungal agents.

Die Ergebnisse bestätigen, dass Haushalte am unteren Ende der Verteilung einen größeren Teil ihres Einkommens und Vermögens als reiche Haushalte spenden. Dennoch sind die absoluten Spendenbeträge von wohlhabenden Haushalten und Haushalten mit hohen Einkommen am höchsten, wodurch sich der Umstand ergibt, dass deren relative Belastung zwar geringer ist, sie allerdings größeren Einfluss auf das Angebot von sozialen, kulturellen und bildungspolitischen Leistungen haben. Erstmalig betrachten wir das Spendenverhalten entlang von ökonomischen Klassen. Obwohl kapitalbesitzende Haushalte nur 11 % aller Haushalte ausmachen, erbringen sie 67 % des Spendenvolumens. Darüber hinaus wird auch hier deutlich, dass lohnabhängige Haushalte einen niedrigeren Anteil ihres Einkommens für karitative Zwecke aufwenden, jedoch einen höheren Anteil ihres Vermögens.
Deutungsrahmen der aktiven Arbeitsmarktpolitik: ein deutsch-österreichischer Vergleich von diskursiven Frames aus Anlass von 50 Jahren Arbeits(markt)förderungsgesetz
Authors: Griesser Markus
Published: October 2019

Mit dem Arbeitsmarktförderungsgesetz (AMFG) bzw. dem Arbeitsförderungsgesetz (AFG) wurde Ende der 1960er-Jahre in Österreich und Deutschland unter vergleichbaren ökonomischen Ausgangsbedingungen ein weitreichender Policy-Wandel im Politikfeld staatlicher Arbeitsmarktpolitik vollzogen. Die Art und Weise, wie dies geschah, war dabei zentral vom schwedischen Modell einer aktiven Arbeitsmarktpolitik geprägt, das als Beispiel guter Praxis von internationalen Organisationen wie insbesondere der OECD propagiert wurde. Der vorliegende Artikel untersucht die diskursiven Deutungsrahmen, die mit den Reformen im politischen Diskurs der beiden Länder verbunden waren. Dadurch soll es gelingen, in international vergleichender Perspektive einen Beitrag zu einem vertieften Verständnis von Policy-Wandel zu leisten.
Assessing Spatial Characteristics of Soil Lead Contamination in the Residential Neighborhoods Near the Exide Battery Smelter
Authors: Wu An-Min , Johnston Jill
Published: October 2019

The presence of hazardous chemicals such as lead (Pb) or other heavy metals in the environment poses significant threats to human health. Industrial activities can increase the concentrations of these toxic metals in the soil, water and air where people live, work and play. When exposed to lead, residents face a higher risk of neurological damage, anemia or developmental delays. Urban soil lead levels, for example, are usually higher than the natural background lead levels due to the historical usage of lead paint, leaded gasoline and proximity to industrial activities. We explored a case in southeastern Los Angeles County, where lead contamination in the soil has been a particular concern near a lead-acid battery smelter. In this case study, we investigated soil lead levels across the neighborhoods surrounding the smelter as a mean to support this clean-up decision making. We used a hot spot analysis to identify clusters of high soil lead levels at a neighborhood scale. This case study can be used to teach higher-division undergraduate and graduate students to incorporate spatial thinking and exploratory spatial analysis approaches into the decision-making process for remediation of environmental contamination. Through this case study, the students will develop the knowledge about soil lead contamination and associated health risks, learn how exploratory spatial data analysis can assist examining the distribution of soil lead contamination and discuss potential strategies to improve the environmental remediation process in the urban environment.

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are essential for mouse embryo implantation and decidualization. Excess GCs are harmful for mouse embryo implantation and decidualization. 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases type I and II (Hsd11b1/Hsd11b2) are main enzymes for regulating local level of GCs. Hsd11b2 acts as the placental glucocorticoid barrier to protect the fetus from excessive exposure. Although effects of GCs on the fetus and placenta in late pregnancy have been extensively studied, the effects of these adrenal corticosteroids in early pregnancy are far less well defined. Therefore, we examined the expression, regulation and function of Hsd11b1/Hsd11b2 in mouse uterus during early pregnancy. We found that Hsd11b2 is highly expressed in endometrial stromal cells on days 3 and 4 of pregnancy and mainly upregulated by progesterone (P4). In both ovariectomized mice and cultured stromal cells, P4 significantly stimulates Hsd11b2 expression. P4 stimulation of Hsd11b2 is mainly mediated by the Ihh pathway. The uterine level of corticosterone (Cort) is regulated by Hsd11b2 during preimplantation. Embryo development and the number of inner cell mass cells are suppressed by Cort treatment. These results indicate that P4 should provide a low Cort environment for the development of preimplantation mouse embryos by promoting the expression of uterine Hsd11b2.
Inference of Selection from Genetic Time Series Using Various Parametric Approximations to the Wright-Fisher Model

Published: October 2019

Detecting genomic regions under selection is an important objective of population genetics. Typical analyses for this goal are based on exploiting genetic diversity patterns in present time data but rapid advances in DNA sequencing have increased the availability of time series genomic data. A common approach to analyze such data is to model the temporal evolution of an allele frequency as a Markov chain. Based on this principle, several methods have been proposed to infer selection intensity. One of their differences lies in how they model the transition probabilities of the Markov chain. Using the Wright-Fisher model is a natural choice but its computational cost is prohibitive for large population sizes so approximations to this model based on parametric distributions have been proposed. Here, we compared the performance of some of these approximations with respect to their power to detect selection and their estimation of the selection coefficient. We developped a new generic Hidden Markov Model likelihood calculator and applied it on genetic time series simulated under various evolutionary scenarios. The Beta with spikes approximation, which combines discrete fixation probabilities with a continuous Beta distribution, was found to perform consistently better than the others. This distribution provides an almost perfect fit to the Wright-Fisher model in terms of selection inference, for a computational cost that does not increase with population size. We further evaluated this model for population sizes not accessible to the Wright-Fisher model and illustrated its performance on a dataset of two divergently selected chicken populations.
Los desastres y la visibilización de los riesgos. Las inundaciones en Santa Fe, Argentina
Authors: Beltramino Tamara Lucia
Published: October 2019

El artículo describe cómo Santa Fe, Argentina, una de las ciudades de mayor criticidad hídrica del mundo, se ha relacionado en el siglo XX con los cursos de agua que la rodean. A partir de tres desastres que la afectaron, se muestran los modos de producción social de los riesgos específicos del espacio local. Para esto, se tienen en cuenta las dinámicas de crecimiento, ocupación y urbanización del espacio, y el despliegue de obras públicas, instituciones y normativas reguladoras de los cursos de agua en cada momento histórico. La investigación concluye destacando cómo los modos de configuración del territorio inciden en la producción de riesgos en una zona vulnerable, y evidencia la impronta de la obra pública en los procesos de visibilización e invisibilización de los riesgos.

Authors: Joshua T. , Zalkuwi J.
Published: October 2019

Abstract. The study was conducted to analyze cowpea price forecasting in Adamawa State, Nigeria. The sources of data for the study were secondary data which were collected from State Planning Commission of Adamawa State for a period of 5 years (2013-2017). Purposive sampling techniques were used for selection of the study area. Dicky Fuller Test and Simple Exponential Smoothing Model were used as analytical tools. The unit root test analysis revealed almost all the markets price series were non-stationary at level except Jambutu market (AD5) at 5% significant level but became stationary after first difference. The result of Exponential Smoothing Model showed that there will be upward trend of cowpea prices in Adamawa State in February and October – November in the year 2018 and therefore, it is recommended that provision of better infrastructural facilities such as construction of accessible and motorable roads, and communication network by government and NGOs. This would reduce transfer cost which usually gets translated to the prices of the cowpeas, especially across markets in critical distance.

Objetivos: Analisar o conhecimento de mães e/ou cuidadores de PNE em relação à higienização e aos cuidados relacionados a saúde oral de seu(s) filho(s) e determinar as principais dificuldades apontadas pelos entrevistados em relação à sua manutenção.Métodos: Os participantes foram avaliados por meio de um questionário constituído por 10 perguntas, de múltipla escolha, entregue aos cuidadores e/ou mães de PNEs, matriculadas no Centro de Ensino Especial 01, em Brasília-DF.Resultados: Apesar dos resultados positivos em relação ao conhecimento de mães e/ou cuidadores em relação às rotinas de higienização e cuidados com a saúde oral do PNE, o nosso estudo aponta que ainda existem algumas lacunas a serem consideradas, no âmbito da prevenção e da promoção da saúde bucal. Na amostra analisada, houve aqueles que não levaram o seu(ua) filho(a) a nenhuma consulta odontológica no ano anterior e aqueles que nunca participaram de nenhuma atividade educativa ou treino para auxiliar o PNE com a higienização oral. Conclusão: A demanda por atendimento odontológico é crescente no grupo de PNE, cabendo aqui ressaltar que a saúde bucal permeia um dos direitos fundamentais garantidos pela nossa constituição. Assim, a real implantação do Plano Nacional dos Direitos da Pessoas com Deficiência na rede de assistência pode contribuir significativamente para que equipes de Atenção Primária e os Centros de Especialidade Odontológicas possam atuar com os cuidadores, além de atender adequadamente a PNE.

Introdução: O cisto odontogênico glandular (COG) é uma lesão rara, correspondendo a 0,3% de todos os cistos odontogênicos. O COG é localmente agressivo, acomete com maior frequência a região anterior de mandíbula e compartilha características microscópicas com outras lesões císticas e neoplásicas.Objetivo: Relatar um caso de COG em maxila, abordando suas características clinicopatológicas, diagnóstico diferencial e terapêutica.Relato de caso: Paciente do gênero feminino, 61 anos de idade, apresentou-se para avaliação de uma tumefação assintomática localizada em maxila, na área dos dentes 11 ao 24. Exames imaginológicos evidenciaram lesão hipodensa, multilocular e expansiva que determinava rompimento das corticais ósseas vestibular e palatina da maxila. Sob hipótese diagnóstica de ameloblastoma, foi realizada biópsia incisional. O exame histopatológico revelou múltiplas cavidades císticas revestidas por epitélio não ceratinizado de espessura variável, com células superficiais de morfologia que variava de escamosa a colunar, intercaladas por células mucosas. No revestimento epitelial também foram constatados espessamentos em forma de placa, projeções papilares e espaços microcísticos. Com base nos achados microscópicos, foi estabelecido o diagnóstico conclusivo de COG. O tratamento realizado consistiu em clivagem óssea perilesional, seguida de curetagem e osteoplastia. Doze meses após a remoção cirúrgica da lesão, não foram constatados sinais clínicos ou radiográficos de recidiva.Conclusão: O COG é uma lesão localmente agressiva, cujo diagnóstico diferencial inclui cistos e neoplasias dos ossos gnáticos com comportamentos biológicos diversos. Levando-se em consideração a possibilidade de recorrência tardia dos COGs, o acompanhamento dos pacientes a longo prazo é de grande valia.
