Published: March 2018

Background/Aim. Alveolar ridge dimensional alterations following tooth extraction in the anterior maxilla often result in an inadequate bone volume for a correct implant placement. In order to obtain optimal bone volume various bone graft substitutes have become commercially available and widely used for socket grafting. The aim of this study was to examine and compare long-term clinical outcomes of dental implant therapy in the maxillary esthetic zone, after socket grafting with beta-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) combined with collagen type I, either with or without barrier membrane and flap surgery, after a 12-month follow-up. Methods. Twenty healthy patients were allocated to either C group (beta-TCP and type I collagen without mucoperiosteal flap coverage) or C+M group (beta-TCP and type I collagen barrier membrane with mucoperiosteal flap coverage). Following clinical parameters were assessed: implant stability (evaluated by a resonance frequency analysis ? RFA), periimplant soft tissue stability (sulcus bleeding index ? SBI, Mombelli sulcus bleeding index ? MBI, periimplant sulcus depth, keratinized gingiva width, gingival level) and marginal bone level at the retroalveolar radiograms. Results. Within C+M group, RFA values significantly increased 12 weeks after implant installation compared to primary RFA values. Comparison between investigated groups showed a significantly reduced keratinized gingiva width in the C+M group compared to the C group after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Comparison between groups revealed significantly lower gingival level values in the C+M group at 9th and 12th month when compared to the C group. Conclusion. Implant treatment in the anterior maxilla could be effective when using a 9 months alveolar ridge preservation healing with combined treatment with beta-tricalcium phosphate and type I collagen, with regard to the peri-implant soft and hard tissue stability.

Kebakaran yaitu sebuah peristiwa yang di sebabkan dari kelalaian manusia dengan dampak kerugian harta benda yang merugikan masyarakat. Di daerah Kudus, sebagai kota yang termasuk padat penduduk dan industri, tercatat ada dua puluh sembilan peristiwa kebakaran yang terjadi sepanjang tahun 2015 dan mengakibatkan kerugian material mencapai Rp 40 milliar. Salah satu hal penting yang dilakukan dalam penangan bencana kebakaran adalah dengan melakukan pencegahan. Pencegahan ini dapat dilakukan dengan informasi bencana yang dapat memprediksi terlebih dahulu daerah-daerah rawan bencana kebakaran dengan menggunakan metode Fuzzy Tsukamoto dengan input berupa luas wilayah, jumlah penduduk dan curah hujan dengan keluaran berupa tingkat kerawanan kecamatan yang dipilih. Penelitian ini akan menerapkan metode Fuzzy Tsukamoto pada sistem prediksi untuk memprediksi tingkat kebakaran pada suatu daerah sehingga kerugian dapat diminimalisir. Karena tidak hanya mengandalkan nilai benar dan salah, metode ini dapat memberikan hasil yang baik dalam prediksi. Hasil akhir dari penelitian ini adalah terciptanya logika Fuzzy Tsukamoto dalam sistem prediksi untuk daerah-daerah rawan kebakaran yang dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi daerah-daerah rawan kebakaran di kota Kudus.Fire is an event that caused from human negligence with the impact of loss of property that harms the community. In the Kudus area, as a densely populated and industrial city, there are twenty-nine fire events that occurred during the year 2015 and resulted in a material loss of Rp 40 billion. One of the important things to do in handling fire disaster is by doing prevention. This prevention can be done with disaster information that can predict in advance disaster-prone areas of fire using Fuzzy Tsukamoto method with input in the form of area, population and rainfall with output in the form of area disaster prone level. This research will apply Fuzzy Tsukamoto method to prediction system to predict fire level in an area so that losses can be minimized. Because not only rely on true and false values, this method can give good results in predictions. The end result of this research is the creation of Fuzzy Tsukamoto logic in prediction system for fire prone areas that can be used to predict fire-prone areas in Kudus city.

Nuestro principal objetivo es reflexionar brevemente sobre los principios que deben moldear una actitud cristiana hacia las diferencias étnicas, sociales y religiosas, teniendo en cuenta los avances de la teología ecuménica y del diálogo interreligioso de las últimas décadas.
Los altares de la posmodernidad y la metástasis del mundo. Una visión de la religión allende Peter L. Berger y Ulrich Beck
Authors: Perez Andreo Bernardo
Published: March 2018

Tomamos como punto de partida el punto final, tanto biográfico como bibliográfico, de dos de los autores más importantes del siglo XX en la reflexión sobre la religión, Peter L. Berger y Ulrich Beck. Sus obras póstumas, en el caso de Beck literalmente, nos han permitido llevar a cabo una reflexión sobre este tiempo finisecular por excelencia. Según Beck estamos ante la metamorfosis del mundo en que vivimos, de ahí que no sirvan los aparatos reflexivos que tenemos para pensar los cambios del mundo, pues es una transformación radical, cual metamorfosis. Según Berger, estaríamos ante un nuevo paradigma para comprender el mundo y la religión dentro del pluralismo constitutivo de la modernidad. Sin embargo, creo que ante lo que estamos es ante la metástasis de una mundo que llega a la fase final de una larga enfermedad, el capitalismo, que tiene en el neoliberalismo su momento senil y en el Imperio Global Postmoderno su proyecto definitivo para una prolongación que se antoja imposible, dados los límites físicos de un mundo casi devastado por el modelo de producción y consumo capitalista.

Soil Fertility Management, a Tool for Sustainable Disease and Weed Control in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Review
Authors: Ibrahim A. M.Saddiq, A. , Jada M. Y. , Tahir A. M. , Umar I.
Published: March 2018

Agro-ecosystem health is built on habitat manipulation and fertility enhancement. Similarly, plant nutrient levels altered by fertilization practices can expose crop plants to pests. In addition, diseases, weeds and other pests are principal agricultural losses all over the world. This is particularly devastating particularly in the developing nations of Sub-Saharan Africa, especially Nigeria. Reduction in these losses will not only improve agricultural production but will enhance food security and economic well-being of society. Sole use of synthetic chemicals is economically not a viable option and does not encourage environmental sustainability while land expansion is equally elusive due to urbanization and different forms of development and not environmentally friendly. The most viable and practicable option is integration of different fertility management alternatives that could produce crops on a sustainable bases while ensuring the safety and sustainability of the environment. Integrated Soil fertility Management (ISFM) has proved to be a promising approach to fertility management and sustainable environment. It could be adopted as it provides the needed nutrients for plants, reduce weeds and disease incidences while safeguarding the environment.

Published: March 2018

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common dreadful pathogenic gram negative bacilli responsible for nosocomial infections among hospital patients especially in developing countries. In the present study P. aeruginosa isolated from various clinical samples and evaluated for their variability and genetic relationship using PCR based Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. A total of 30 different samples from patients with wounds, ear infection, respiratory tract, nasal infection and urine infection were collected from various hospitals and diagnostic centers in Bangalore. The samples included pus swabs, wound discharge, sputum and blood. These samples were subjected to P. aeruginosa isolation using selective media and characterization using biochemical tests. Further genetic relationship was determined using RAPD technique. A total of 7 were isolated and characterized biochemically and identified belonging to P. aeruginosa. Cluster analysis and phylogenetic tree reveal close relatedness between P. aeruginosa strain P1, P3, P4, P5 and P6 but distantly related to the P2 and P7. This indicates that the infection due to P. aeruginosa is caused by diverse as well as closely related clones circulating in the study health care centers. This demands further investigation through prospective studies with a larger number of patients. This will aid suggesting efficient and sustained control measures and antibiotic policy in study area

Authors: Fitriani Fitriani
Published: March 2018

The numbers of Lampung residents with average monthly expenditure per capita below the poverty line are still quite large (14.86%). Most of the poor are in the district (76.26%) and are rural communities dependent on the agricultural sector for their livelihoods. Rural agricultural communities face complex problems including: the limitations of land access, capital, technology, markets, and institutions. This project, conducted in 2014, was a series of research collaboration of universities (PEKERTI) between State Polytechnic of Lampung  (Polinela) as Research Team Proposer (TPP) with University of Lampung (Unila) as Research Partner Team (TPM). Method of depth analysis about Lampung rural agriculture society condition during 10 years and cross tabulation were conducted based on Lampung Input Output Table 2010. The secondary data were obtained from Provincial BPS (Lampung Statistic Office) and some other related technical agencies. The results of the discussion showed that the portrait of Lampung agriculture is dominated by rural farming which faces very complex problems. The complexity of the problems within agricultural society is a resultant of the limitations faced by farmers in accessing capital, land, technology and institutional resources. This condition boils down to structural poverty. The key to the work of sustainable rural agricultural development policy is the occurrence of synergy in overcoming obstacles which include: local agro-climatic conditions, site-specific technologies, availability of biomass, economic incentives, product markets, information access, land tenure, institutional, extension, and political constraints.

The Shift in Gender Roles in Amy Tan’s 'The Joy Luck Club' and Khaled Hosseini’s 'The Kite Runner'
Authors: Afandi Mujad Didien
Published: March 2018

The unfair gender roles under patriarchal system are constructed to preserve gender inequality between men and women. Gender role practices extend gradually to maintain the male hegemony to make women powerless because female traditional gender roles (femininities) create dependency to men. Men are assigned to masculinities equipped with power, whereas women are ascribed to femininities to set boundaries that limit their movement. Yet, the increase of female awareness of gender equality has changed this situation. Gender roles are gradually shifting from traditional to modern as the opportunities to receive education and job open widely to develop women's roles that enable them to give financial contribution to the family. This study was purposed to analyze the shift in gender roles in 'The Joy Luck Club' and 'The Kite Runner'. This study used qualitative design in which Chinese traditional gender roles were described using Confucian perspective, whereas Afghan traditional gender roles were exposed in Islamic perspective. Moreover, Karl Marx's conflict theory was used to analyze the shift in gender roles in both novels. The results of study found that the construction of traditional gender roles in both China and Afghanistan was influenced mostly by patriarchy which perceives men as more superior than women. However, the dynamic changes of gender roles, especially femininities, supported by the increase of female education and occupation provide women with more power to achieve development. Further studies are encouraged to analyze other gender roles which have not discussed in this study.

EFL Learners’ Responses on the Use of Performance-based Assessment
Authors: Prastikawati Entika Fani
Published: March 2018

Assessment is an ongoing process of evaluating learners’ ability or skill after process of teaching and learning. In English class, assessment also plays an important role. According to the facts found, assessment mostly used in English class is traditional assessment. English class needs more alternative assessments to set the goals of learning English. Curriculum 2013, which is used in Indonesia right now, emphasizes the use of authentic assessment, and performance – based assessment is to be a subset of authentic assessment. This article is trying to discuss the students’ responsess on the use of performance-based assessment applied by the English teachers. This study applied descriptive qualitative research design. The subjects of this research were 30 Senior High School students. To collect the data needed, this study used observation and interview as the instrument. The observation was used to discover performance-based assessments which had already been applied by the English teachers in school. The result of the interview was interpreted to clarify the students’ responsess on the use of performance-based assessment applied by the English teachers. Performance-based assessments which had already been applied were role-plays, writing sample, and retelling. From 6 classes, 3 classes (50%) applied role-plays. Moreover, 2 (33,3%) classes applied writing sample, and the rest applied retelling (16,66%). It means that role-plays was performance-based assessment which was mostly applied by the English teachers. Furthermore, the students’ responsess on the use of performance-based assessment was good. Almost of the 30 students considered that performance-based assessment can improve their English skills and confidence instead of traditional assessment. 24 of the 30 students also claimed that traditional assessment is still inadequate to activate their English skill. In short, 80% of 30 students gave a positive responsess on the use of performance-based assessment.

The future of democratic societies has been widely debated among futurologists, including the possible ways medicine could advance, changing the lives of individuals and communities. Yet, what seems a reasonable question to ask is – how the unequal access to healthcare might perpetuate social and economic divisions and turn democracy into tyranny. This paper advances a rhetorical analysis of the reciprocal relations between healthcare and the classed capitalist system as portrayed in two dystopian pictures: Mark Romanek’s Never Let Me Go (2010) and Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium (2013). The realities depicted in these movies, as well as their narratives, vary considerably; however, they both present medical advancements as means of and reasons for maintaining or perpetuating social inequality. The two dystopias also warn us of some possible dangers posed by the incompatibility of the capitalist mindset with morality and ethics, presenting corruption in healthcare systems as a result of the class conflict.
A Tale of Three Schenkers
Authors: Bungert James
Published: March 2018

This article addresses the discrepancy between Schenker’s lifelong devotion to performance and the limited treatment of performance issues in the secondary literature on Schenker — a discrepancy exacerbated by the delayed publication of his performance manualThe Art of Performance(2000). This study helps to ameliorate the discrepancy by examining his analysis of the Chopin Berceuse op. 57 in D-flat major inDas Meisterwerk II(1926) in comparison to his own annotated score of the piece, with the ultimate goal of creating a clearer picture of how Schenker’s conception of performance intersects with his theories. Following Rings 2011, the article develops a Lewinian transformational model ofconceptual tensionbased on Schenker’s understanding of retention and anticipation in passing motions, and applies it to the rather complex intentional structure of finger choice (the finger chosen at various critical junctures in piano performance). Given the epistemological separation between Schenker’s Berceuse analysis and his annotated score, the article refers toThe Art of Performanceto formulate a “neo-Schenkerian” legato fingering (“neo” in that it represents my own performance values and participates in the modernist project of American Schenker reception) for the Berceuse theme that serves as a backdrop for understanding not only the conceptual tension of that fingering (according to the transformational model) as it relates to his analysis, but also the conceptual tension of his own fingering, taken from his personal copy of the piece. However, Schenker’s fingering largely ignores his own recommendations for legato and, unlike the underlying voice leading and neo-Schenkerian fingering, does not sustain conceptual tension throughout the theme. Nevertheless, it engages the bodily core in a manner that—in light of the large-scale push to the subdominant (G♭ major) later on in the piece, and the bodily actions associated with playing almost exclusively in the black-key plane—serves the organic coherence of the Berceuse as a whole. This coherence, which arises from the performer’s physical actions, also resonates with some of Schenker’s comments regarding the relationship ofThe Art of Performancewith his mature theory, and his appreciation for what he called Chopin’s “particular synthesis.”
Voice Leading and Text-Music Relations in David Bowie’s Early Songs
Authors: Ferrandino Matthew E.
Published: March 2018

In this paper, I explore how voice-leading analysis can illuminate text-music relations at both structural and foreground levels in three songs by David Bowie: “Life on Mars,” “Five Years,” and “We Are the Dead.” The analyses provide a way of relating seemingly disparate stylistic examples through text-music relations applicable to a wide variety of rock music.
What Determines Balance of Payments: A Case of Pakistan

Distortion in balance of payments is one of the dominant causes for the sluggish economic condition of Pakistan. The present article has focused to scrutinize the relationship of the balance of payments to its certain determinants that are actually blamable or not for its distortion. The robust ARDL structure has been utilized to develop the bound testing approach to co-integration and error correction models on data set for 1972-2013.The bound test declares that there exists stable long run relationship of balance of payments to its determinants. The upshots indicate that real exchange rate inversely influences the balance of payments not only in the long run but also in the short run. Interest rate inversely affects the balance of payment in the long run but positively affects in the short run .Fiscal balance affects the BOP negatively in the long and short run simultaneously. As regards the real GDP, it moves the BOP in the positive direction in both long and short run. The money supply cast a positive influence on the BOP in the short run but negative effect in the long run. So the need of the hour is that the real GDP of Pakistan should be increased by the deliberate policy of the government. Because it is the GDP that can increase our savings consumption and government expenditures and exports and can improve balance of balance of payment.

Published: March 2018

This study is designed to determine the use of internet and internet penetration in the city of Asmara, Eritrea with a view to inform policy makers and societal stakeholders on the implications of user behavior for future Internet related options. Self-designed questionnaire was distributed to the districts of the city based on stratified sampling method. 300 (86%) of the 350 distributed questionnaires were found useable on return. However, only 232 (77%) respondents have acknowledged to have made use of the Internet in the last three months. The results show that there is a glaring difference between the genders; female being in the minority and generally the younger ones and young adults constituted the highest users; majority of users are single with senior secondary school certificate followed by college graduates as highest qualification. In addition, users prefer regular visit and shorter browsing hours and the reasons for Internet use follow the usual trend including e-mail, social networking, information searching and video/voice calling.

Published: March 2018

Одним из ключевых этапов при разработке новых лекарственных средств являются фармакодинамические исследования, позволяющие оценить основные механизмы специфической фармакологической активности препаратов. Установлено, что после введения гепарина в крови происходит закономерный скачок уровня свободных жирных кислот и отмечается рост активности липазы крови. На фоне курсового применения суммы тритерпеновых кислот облепихи, суммы тритерпеновых кислот клюквы и препарата сравнения (фенофибрат) отмечен рост постгепариновой липолитической активности сыворотки крови крыс по сравнению со значениями контрольной группы животных в среднем на 68 % (p = 0,001), 24 % (p = 0,003) и 23 % (p = 0,033), соответственно. Более выраженное увеличение наблюдали в группе животных, получавших тритерпеноиды облепихи, т.к. прирост активности липазы крови и концентрации свободных жирных кислот после введения гепарина был выше значений данных показателей в группе животных, получавших препарат сравнения, на 36 % (p = 0,014) и 28 % (p = 0,08) соответственно, и животных, получавших сумму тритерпеновых кислот клюквы на 35 % (p = 0,013) и 25 % (p = 0,111) соответственно.

Целью исследования стало изучение эффективности препарата цитофлавин при коррекции когнитивных нарушений у больных сахарным диабетом 2 типа и его влияния на уровень мозгового нейротрофического фактора. Проведен анализ результатов лечения и обследования 60 пациентов с диагнозом «Сахарный диабет 2 типа» (СД 2). У большинства (49 – 81,6 %) пациентов были выявлены легкие (35 – 71,4 %) и умеренные (14 – 28,6 %) нарушения когнитивных функций. Все пациенты получали базисную терапию пероральными сахароснижающими препаратами: метформин в режиме монотерапии — 43,3 % (26 пациентов) и комбинированную терапию (метформин + гликлазид) — 56,6 % (34 пациента). Кроме того, 30 пациентов (основная группа) получали комплексный метаболический препарат цитофлавин ежедневно внутривенно капельно 10 мл раствора, разведенного в 200 мл 0,9 % натрия хлорида в течение 10 сут с переходом на таблетированную форму — по 2 таблетки 2 раза в день в течение 25 сут. Группу контроля (n = 30) составили больные, получавшие только базисную сахароснижающую терапию. Включение в схему комплексной терапии пациентов с СД 2 цитофлавина обеспечило более эффективную коррекцию когнитивных нарушений, по сравнению с базисной терапией, это подтверждено результатами нейропсихологического тестирования (по оценке теста МоСА): улучшение оптико-пространственной деятельности, внимания, абстрактного мышления и памяти в среднем на 14,2 %, по сравнению со значением до лечения (p < 0,01) и у пациентов группы стандартного лечения. У пациентов в группе сравнения положительная динамика аналогичных параметров составила в среднем 7,9 %. Исследование уровня мозгового нейротрофического фактора (BDNF) в сыворотке крови выявило достоверное повышение показателя в динамике у пациентов, получивших цитофлавин с (1475,13  421,26) до (1839,44  494,78) пг/мл (p < 0,01), в отличие от пациентов контрольной группы с (1625,41  322,53) до (1592,04  373,47) пг/мл, выявлена положительная корреляционная связь между данными теста МоСА и уровнем BDNF в сыворотке крови и: оптико-пространственной деятельностью (r = 0,589, p < 0,01), называнием (животные) (r = 0,346, p < 0,01), вниманием (r = 0,401, p < 0,01), памятью (r = 0,595, p < 0,01) и общей суммой баллов в тесте (r = 0,708, p < 0,01). Кроме того, выявлена отрицательная корреляционная связь между уровнем углеводного обмена (HbA1c) и уровнем BDNF в сыворотке крови (r = –0,494, p < 0,01) в обеих группах.

Published: March 2018

В экспериментальных исследованиях на крысах изучено влияние ноопепта (этилового эфира N-фенилацетил-L-пролилглицина) на капиллярную сеть коры большого мозга крыс при нарушении мозгового кровообращения, вызванного перманентной окклюзией правой сонной артерии (ОПСА). Состояние микроциркуляторного русла оценивалось после ОПСА и на фоне введения препарата через 30 мин после оперативного вмешательства, безинъекционным кальций-аденозинтрифосфатным методом выявления внутриорганного сосудистого русла. Срезы получали из коры большого мозга крыс, декапитированных через 60 мин после внутрибрюшинного введения ноопепта в дозе 1 мг/кг. Животным контрольной группы через указанный промежуток времени после ОПСА вводили 0,9 % раствор хлорида натрия. Для оценки состояния капиллярной сети рассчитывали средний диаметр и количество функционирующих капилляров, а также распределение сосудов по диаметру. Результаты проведенных исследований показали, что ноопепт достоверно (p < 0,05) предотвращает наблюдаемое на фоне ОПСА уменьшение количества функционирующих капилляров в обоих полушариях (на 24,8 % в правом и на 25,8 % в левом). Под влиянием препарата отмечалось также статистически значимое (p < 0,05) увеличение диаметра функционирующих капилляров, как в ипсилатеральном на 7,9 %, так и контралатеральном на 7,6 %, полушариях, по сравнению с показателями контрольной группы. Полученные данные указывают на то, что в проявлении нейропротекторных свойств ноопепта задействована его способность стимулировать микроциркуляцию коры большого мозга при ишемических поражениях.
