Authors: LIU Yibing , MENG Qingju , JING Li , FENG Li , NI Zhiyu
Published: November 2020

Background: To study the anti-cancer effect of isoalantolactone, a sesquiterpene    lactoneisolated from the roots of Inula heleniumon human gynecologic cancer cells.
Methods: A structure-activity relationship experiment was designed to identify the functional moiety of isoalantolactone for its significant anti-cancer activity. Five gynecologic cancer cell lines were treated with isoalantolactone. Cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay in vitro and cell apoptosis by flow cytometry.
Results: We found isoalantolactone strongly inhibited the cell proliferationofHEC-1, HAC-2, HOC-21, and HeLa cells. Its inhibitory effect was comparable to that of well-known chemotherapeutic agents, cisplatin and taxol. Furthermore, isoalantolactone induced apoptosis in HeLa cells via caspase. On the contrary, its 11, 13-dihydro derivatives had much weaker anti-proliferative activities than the parent compound.
Conclusion: Isoalantolactone exhibited strong anti-proliferative activities and apoptosis-inducing effects on gynecologic cancer cells. The 11, 13-dehydro lactone moiety was critical for its anti-proliferative activity.

Authors: IOVU Mihai-Bogdan , RUNCAN Remus , RUNCAN Patricia-Luciana , ANDRIONI Felicia
Published: November 2020

Background: In recent years, Facebook has increasingly become an essential part of the lives of people, particularly youths, thus many research efforts have been focused on investigating the potential connection between social networking and mental health issues. This study aimed to examine the relationship between Facebook use, emotional state of depression, and family satisfaction.
Methods: This study used the online survey created in Google Docs on the Facebook ‘wall’, as research method. The survey was available during Jun-Jul 2015 in Romania. In our cross-sectional study on a sample of 708 young Facebook users (aged 13-35), we divided the sample into 3 groups: ordinary, middle, and intense Facebook users. Materials and instruments: the survey comprised a series of basic demographic as well as some measures of Facebook addiction, depression, and family satisfaction. We used two methods connected with extensive Facebook usage, the first one measuring only the intensity of use, and the second one measuring not only the intensity but also the consequences of this use.
Results: Facebook engagement is negatively related to family satisfaction. Moreover, Facebook engagement is positively related to depression symptoms. The Pearson correlations showed that higher Facebook intensity is positively associated with Facebook addiction.
Conclusion: The study confirm previously published findings of other authors in the fields of social networking psychology. The study examined the relationship between Facebook use, depression, and life satisfaction and the hypotheses were supported.

Published: November 2020

Background: Hemodialysis (HD) patients and kidney transplant (KT) recipients are exposed to be infected by blood-borne viruses (BBVs). Current study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of BBVs in HD and KT patients in the whole Iranian population.
Methods: From Jan 2016 to Dec 2017, 174 hemodialysis and 139 kidney transplant recipients enrolled in this survey. After blood sampling, serum samples were detected for HBV, HCV, HCMV, HIV and HTLV antibodies. Seropositive samples confirmed by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method.
Results: Overall, 6 (3.44%) and 3 (2.15%) of hemodialysis-dependent and transplantation patients had evidence of HCV infection, whereas no patients were HIV and HBV positive, two cases (1.14%) of hemodialysis and one case (0.71%) of transplantation patients demonstrated the HTLV-1 infection. 52 (37.4%) of patients received graft were positive for HCMV antibody. In addition, our study showed a co-infection of HCMV with HCV (3 patients, 2.15%) in transplantation patients.
Conclusion: Prevalence of BBVs infection was lower in comparison to the previous studies. The current strict infection control practices in Iran appear to be effective in limiting dialysis and related infections after transplantation. Because BBVs infections constantly occur especially in dialysis and after transplantation units, our data will be useful to build a new strategic plan for the elimination of BBVs infection in kidney therapycenters.
Causal Effects of Body Mass Index and Maternal Age on Oocyte Maturation in Assisted Reproductive Technology: Model-Average Causal Effect and Bayesian LASSO Method
Authors: ALIZADEH Ahad , OMANI-SAMANI Reza , MANSOURNIA Mohammad Ali , AKBARI SENE Azadeh , RAHIMI FOROUSHANI Abbas
Published: November 2020

Background: Body Mass Index (BMI) and maternal age are related to various disorders of the female reproductive system. This study aimed to estimate the causal effects of BMI and maternal age on the rate of metaphase II oocytes (MII) using a new statistical method based on Bayesian LASSO and model averaging.
Methods: This investigation was a historical cohort study and data were collected from women who underwent assisted reproductive treatments in Tehran, Iran during 2015 to 2018. Exclusion criteria were gestational surrogacy and donor oocyte. We used a new method based on Bayesian LASSO and model average to capture important confounders.
Results: Overall, 536 cycles of 398 women were evaluated. BMI and Age had inverse relationships with the number of MII based on univariate analysis, but after adjusting the effects of other variables, there was just a significant association between age and the number of MII (adjusted incidence rate ratio (aIRR) of age =0.989, 95% CI: [0.979, 0.998], P=0.02). The results of causal inference based on the new presented method showed that the overall effects of age and BMI of all patients were significantly and inversely associated with the number of MII (both P<0.001). Therefore the expected number of MII decreased by 0.99 for an increase of 1 year (95% CI: [-1.00,-0.97]) and decreased by 0.99 for each 1-unit increase in BMI (95% CI: [-1.01,-0.98]).
Conclusion: Maternal age and BMI have significant adverse casual effects on the rate of MII in patients undergoing ART when the effects of important confounders were adjusted.

Authors: HASANZADEH Shila , ASGHARIJAFARABADI Mohammad , SADEGHI-BAZARGANI Homayoun
Published: November 2020

Background: To model, the predictors of injuries caused the hospitalization of motorcyclists using a hybrid structural equation modeling-artificial neural network (SEM-ANN) considering a conceptual model.Methods: In this case-control study, 300 cases and 156 controls were enrolled using a cluster random sam- pling. The cases were selected among injured motorcyclists in refereed to Imam Reza Hospital and Tabriz Shohada Hospital, Tabriz, Iran since Mar 2013. The predictability of injury by motorcycle-riding behavior questionnaire (MRBQ), Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) along with its subscales and motor- cycle related variables was modeled using SEM-ANN. By SEM, linear direct and indirect relationships were assessed. To improve the SEM, the ANN was utilized sequentially to account for the nonlinear and interaction effects that is not supported by SEM.Results: The predictors of injury were: MRBQ, ADHD, and its subscales, marital status, education level, rid- ing for fun, engine volume, hyper active child, dark hour riding, cell phone answering, driving license (All P less than 0.05). In addition, the findings reveal the Mediating role of MRBQ for the relationship between underly- ing predictors and injury. Furthermore, ANN showed higher specificity (95.45 vs.77.88) and accuracy (90.76 vs.79.94) than usual SEM which lead us to introduce the second and third order effect of MRBQ into the modified SEM.Conclusion: The hybrid model provided results that are more accurate; considering the results of the model- ing, having intervention programs on ADHD motorcyclists, those have the hyperactive child, and those who answer their cell phones while driving, and improving the motorcyclists’ goal is highly recommended.

Authors: ROSTAMI Sahar , RAFEI Ali , DAMGHANIAN Maryam , KHAKBAZAN Zohreh , MALEKI Farzad , ZENDEHDEL Kazem
Published: November 2020

Background: The Gail model is the most well-known tool for breast cancer risk assessment worldwide. Although it was validated in various Western populations, inconsistent results were reported from Asian populations. We used data from a large case-control study and evaluated the discriminatory accuracy of the Gail model for breast cancer risk assessment among the Iranian female population.
Methods: We used data from 942 breast cancer patients and 975 healthy controls at the Cancer Institute of Iran, Tehran, Iran, in 2016. We refitted the Gail model to our case-control data (the IR-Gail model). We compared the discriminatory power of the IR-Gail with the original Gail model, using ROC curve analyses and estimation of the area under the ROC curve (AUC).
Results: Except for the history of biopsies that showed an extremely high relative risk (OR=9.1), the observed ORs were similar to the estimates observed in Gail's study. Incidence rates of breast cancer were extremely lower in Iran than in the USA, leading to a lower average absolute risk among the Iranian population (2.78, ±SD 2.45). The AUC was significantly improved after refitting the model, but it remained modest (0.636 vs. 0.627, ΔAUC = 0.009, bootstrapped P=0.008). We reported that the cut-point of 1.67 suggested in the Gail study did not discriminate between breast cancer patients and controls among the Iranian female population.
Conclusion: Although the coefficients from the local study improved the discriminatory accuracy of the model, it remained modest. Cohort studies are warranted to evaluate the validity of the model for Iranian women.

Authors: Priyanto Sapto , Kemal Dermawan Mohammad , JS Runturambi Arthur
Published: November 2020

This paper explains about disengagement by using the concept of restorative justice to ex- convicts of terrorism and their networks in Indonesia. Restorative justice is carried out by voluntarily bringing together the terrorist bombing victims with ex-convicted terrorism cases and their networks in Indonesia. Focus group discussions are used in carrying out restorative justice thus ex-convicts of terrorism and their networks can be more open in issuing opinions. The findings in this study are the sincerity of terrorist bombing victims who have forgiven the ex-convicts of terrorism, even before the meeting, have made the ex-convicts of terrorism feel touched, cried and apologized for the actions of their friends and what they themselves have done. In addition, restorative justice is not effective if it is carried out against former terrorism inmates from Poso, Central Sulawesi. Restorative justice can be one of the methods of disengagement for ex-convicted terrorists and their networks which will be effective in the future. Building a good relationship with former terrorism inmates and their networks need to be done before the implementation of restorative justice.

Published: November 2020

Increasing environmental pollution is causing a widespread negative impact. Therefore, a solution is needed to overcome the increasing environmental problems. One approach is to consider the question of justice for the environment itself. This approach is founded on the perceived relationship between the environment of activism and caring with distributive justice. Decision making processes with regards to environmental justice are frequently determined by the gender differences of the individual. Perceptions between women and men can be different in interpreting environmental conditions. Women can be more sensitive in protecting the environment, while men are more logical. This article will discuss gender-based environmental justice to consider whether there is ‘correct’ perspective. This study uses a qualitative approach, reviewing and synthesizing journals related to Environmental Justice and Gender. As the fifth goal of sustainable development (SDGs), gender equality can increase the successful implementation of the principles of environmental justice.

Authors: Azizah Nur , Suseno Muchlas , Hayat Bahrul
Published: November 2020

Objectivity in a writing assessment is a highly important matter because it determines the validity and reliability of the writing assessment itself. However, subjectivity in the writing assessment is inevitable. Rater subjectivity in the assessment can lead to assessment difference or variability (severity-leniency) eventually reducing thevalidity and reliability of the assessment. Therefore, the concept of rater variability, severity-leniency, and its causal factors are required to perceive so that efforts to minimize assessment variability, for instance, severity-leniency, can be implemented. The research aimed at providing a brief description of rater variability, namely severity leniency, and the causal factors, namely rater’s background, criteria, method, and assessment scale. The method used in this research was literature study which source was originated from the articles of scientific journals and books related to the research topic, namely rater variability (severity-leniency) and its causal factors. The result of the discussion in this paper showed that the selection of experienced rater, coherent and cohesive assessment criteria, method appropriate to the aim of the research, and brief assessment scale were considered to be able to minimize the variability(severity-leniency) of the rater.

SEforRA: A Bibliometrics-ready Academic Digital Library Search Engine Alternative
Authors: Sidiq Muhaemin , Hanafi Ivan , Ekaputra Fajar J.
Published: November 2020

Naturally, not all researchers can develop their own software to search for academic publications from digital libraries. Nevertheless, at several stages of their research, they will need to search digital libraries for relevant scientific publications and bibliometric information. There are typically two approaches used by researchers to search for scientific publications: (i) using Google Scholar search, or (ii) using publication metadata available from several sources, such as CrossRef and publishers. However, in developing countries like Indonesia, neither option provided users with complete information, since (i) Google Scholar does not provide bibliometric details, and (ii) complete bibliometric information from other sources is often not available due to incomplete data (e.g., CrossRef) or the necessity to pay a subscription fee (e.g., Springer and Elsevier). The development of Search Engine for Research Articles (SEforRA) is a solution to this issue which provides researchers with bibliometricready publication metadata. SEforRA extracts and processes data from CrossRef, publishers, and other sources to provide an integrated platform for researchers to search and retrieve publication metadata, which is ready to use further in their research.

Authors: Suryana Agus , Akbar Maruf , Ridwan Achmad
Published: November 2020

Student bullying scales have been developed based on Western cultures, however these are not necessarily applicable to non-Western cultures, and there is a need for a scale to measure bullying behaviours that is adaptable to individual national cultures. This would not only be useful for students undergoing bullying, but also useful from the perpetrator’s side. The Rasch model can be used in this fashion, and this study seeks to develop a student bullying scale by applying the psychometric properties of the Rasch model. The dimensions of the bullying scale consisted of power imbalance, intent to harm, and cyberbullying, and the bullying indicators are defined as verbal, physical, visual, and relational. A total of 1200 public junior high school students in Bogor Regency took part in the study divided of 500 students in phase 1 and 700 students in phase II. The study concludes that the proposed instrument to evaluate bullying has significant validity and reliability in both phase 1 and phase 2.

Published: November 2020

This study seeks to investigate the effect of controllability and responsiveness on the perceived ease of e-learning use. This study also aims to determine the relationship between the perceived ease of e-learning use and the student’s intention to participate in e- learning. This study extends the technology acceptance model by considering the external factors; controllability and responsiveness of e-learning system. Thirty-one students from Bung Hatta University were selected as research objects for this study, and three hypotheses were developed. SEM-PLS was applied to analyze the data and smart-pls 3.2.7 software was used to reject the null hypotheses. Having had a satisfied convergent and discriminant validity, this study demonstrates that the controllability and responsiveness of an e-learning system does not have a significant effect on the perceived ease of e-learning use. However, the relationship between the perceived ease of e-learning use and the students’ intention to participate in e-learning is significantly positive. The practical and theoretical implications are discussed in this paper.

Authors: Zulaeha Ode , Rahayu Wardani , Sastrawijaya Yuliatri
Published: November 2020

The purpose of this study is to measure the accuracy of item parameters and abilities by using the Multidimensional Three-Parameter Logistics (M3PL) model. M3PL is a series of tests that measure more than one dimension of ability (θ). Item parameter estimation and the ability to model M3PL are reviewed based on a sample size of 1000 and test lengths of 15, 25, and 40. Parameter estimations are obtained using the Wingen software that is converted to BILOG. The results show that the estimate obtained with a test length of 15 displays a median correlation of 0.787 (high). The study therefore concludes that the level of difficulty of the questions is higher or the questions given to respondents are more difficult, so many respondents guessed the answers. The results of the estimated grain parameters and capabilities indicated that scoring based on sample size greatly affects the stability of the test length. By using the M3PL model, parameters can be measured pseudo-guessing, parameters b and parameters a. MIRT is able to explain interactions between the items on the test and the answers of the participants. The estimated results of the item parameters and the ability parameters of the participants also proved to be accurate and efficient.
