Extraterritorial migration control in Malaysia
Authors: Low Choo Chin
Published: November 2019

English abstract:
This article examines how migration control in Malaysia has been transformed in response to non-traditional security threats. Since the 2010s, the state has expanded the territorial reach of its immigration enforcement through trilateral border patrol initiatives and multilateral defense establishments. Malaysia’s extraterritorial policy is mostly implemented through the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) frameworks. Common geopolitical security concerns, particularly the transnational crime and terrorism confronted by Malaysia and its bordering countries, have led to extraterritorial control measures to secure its external borders. Key elements include the growing involvement of the army, the institutionalization of border externalization, and the strengthening of the ASEAN’s regional immigration cooperation. By analyzing the ASEAN’s intergovernmental collaboration, this article demonstrates that Malaysia’s extraterritorial migration practices are militarized, externalized, and regionalized.

Este artículo examina la transformación del control migratorio en Malasia en respuesta a las amenazas de seguridad no tradicionales. Desde 2010, el estado aumentó el alcance territorial de su control migratorio a través de patrullas fronterizas trilaterales y establecimiento de defensa multilateral. La política extraterritorial de Malasia tiene como marco principal la Asociación de Naciones del Sureste Asiático (ASEAN en inglés). Las preocupaciones de seguridad geopolítica comunes, particularmente los delitos y el terrorismo transnacional, provocaron medidas de control extraterritorial para asegurar sus fronteras externas. Los elementos clave son la creciente implicación del ejército, la institucionalización de la externalización de fronteras y el fortalecimiento de la cooperación regional en inmigración de ASEAN. Este artículo demuestra que las prácticas migratorias extraterritoriales de Malasia están militarizadas, externalizadas y regionalizadas.

L’article analyse les changements apportés aux services de con trôle de la migration en Malaisie. Depuis 2010, l’État a étendu son champ d’action et mis en place des initiatives de patrouilles frontalières trilatérales, de défense multilatérale et une police extraterritoriale déployée sous l’impulsion de l’Association des nations de l’Asie du Sud-Est (ANASE). Les problèmes de sécurité géopolitique, comme la criminalité transnationale et le terrorisme qui sévissent en Malaisie et dans les pays voisins, ont donné lieu à des mesures extraterritoriales pour sécuriser les frontières extérieures. Parmi elles, figurent l’implication de l’armée, l’externalisation institutionnalisée du contrôle aux frontières et le renforcement de la coopération de l’ANASE en matière d’immigration. Par l’analyse de cette coopération intergouvernementale, cet article démontre que la politique migratoire malaisienne est régie par la militarisation, l’externalisation et la régionalisation.

A REVIEW: ANTI-ULCER POTENTIAL
Authors: Singh Charanjeet , Gujar Bhojraj , Sharma Yogesh Kumar
Published: November 2019

Peptic ulcer occurs due to an imbalance between the aggressive (acid, pepsin and Helicobacter pylori) and the defensive (gastric mucus and bicarbonate secretion, prostaglandins, innate resistance of the mucosal cells) factors. Gastric ulcers are usually single and less than 2 cm in diameter. A minority of patients with gastric ulcers exhibit acid hyper secretion. In these persons, the ulcers are usually near the pylorus and are considered variants of duodenal ulcers. Several minutes after food enters the stomach, gentle, rippling, peristaltic movements called mixing waves pass over the stomach every 15 to 25 seconds. These waves macerate food, mix it with secretions of gastric glands and reduce it to a soupy liquid called chyme. Proton pumps powered by H+ / K+ ATPase actively transport H+ into the lumen while bringing potassium ions (K+) into the cells. At the same time Cl- and K+ diffuse out through Cl- and K+ channels in the apical membrane. One of the most interesting substances that has been obtained from chilly peppers and present in spicy plants such as ginger or black pepper is capsaicin. This substance acts on sensory neurons to stimulate their membrane receptors, predominantly vaniloid (VR)-1 receptors, and release various kinins such as substance P. Chamomile also may be effective in relieving inflamed or irritated mucous membranes of the digestive tract and in promoting digestion. The plant part of C. sativus like  Ripe raw fruits are said to cure spure and in Indo-China cook   immature fruits are given to children to treat dysentery. The seed is cooling, diuretic, tonic and anthelmintic. Seeds are used as taeniacide. The leaf juice is used to treat dyspepsia in children. Leaves along with cumin seeds are administered for throat infection. A decoction of root is diuretic.

Published: November 2019

Cognitive disorders (CDs), also known as neurocognitive disorders (NCDs) are a category of mental health disorders that primarily affect cognitive abilities including learning, memory, perception, and problem solving. Global population with depression ranges mostly between 2% and 6% around the world today. Mental health disorders are also attributed to significant number of indirect deaths through suicide and self-harm. The aim of designing a drug delivery system is to enable drug release at a controlled rate over a desired period. nanofibers, with their large specific surface areas, can improve the solubility and dissolution rates of drugs, thereby resulting in fast release of poorly soluble active drugs. Drug release from nanofibers in terms of processing setup and modulate the release kinetics, to achieve site of action with increased plasma half life and resulting increasing residence time of drug in plasma, slowing down rapid renal clearance and helping extended presence of drug at the site of action and also minimize the toxicity of drug. Bacopa monniera an Ayurvedic drug which is mainly used for health practices. Polyvinylpyrrolidone as synthetic polymer was preferably used as a carrier for preparation of nanofibers. Nanofibers mainly prepared by using synthetic polymer because it does not have any toxic effect. Pre-formulation studies were carried out. Experimental design based on trial and error base. Total three batches were prepared using chitosan, cellulose acetate and Polyvinylpyrrolidone.FT-IR Spectroscopy study showed that there was no interaction between drug and polymer. Nanofibers were prepared by using electrospinning method. After preparation of nanofibers were subjected to various evolution parameters includes practical yield, in-vitro drug release, drug entrapment efficiency, SEM,XRD, Zeta Potential, FTIR. The formulations were optimized with respect to In-Vitro drug release and drug entrapment efficiency. Among the all formulations, the Brahmi Extract loaded PVP nanofibers batch F1 containing 300mg of brahmi extract and 600 mg polymer was optimized because this batch showed 97.57% drug release,99.24% drug entrapment efficiency,-26.4mV Zeta potential of the optimized batch which is mainly used to check the stability of the nanofibers formulation. An optimized formulation brahmi extract loaded nanofibers batch F1 is well acceptable, pleasant, palatable and with better compliance.

The Indian Government identified Jatropha curcas L. as the most suitable treeborne oilseed for the production of bio-diesel. The species has spread to many parts of India due to its ability to withstand adverse conditions. Breeding of inter and intra specific Jatrophas for the exploitation of hybrid vigour is one of the most economical means of tree improvement. To study the genetic base of the species distributed in India, 55 accessions of J. curcas from Jammu to Kanyakumari and Jodhpur to Kolkata were assessed using isozyme markers. Fifteen enzyme systems were evaluated for their efficacy in distinguishing the accessions. While three (formate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and peroxidase) were found useful, twelve did not exhibit any variation and had fixed monomorphic alleles. Each polymorphic enzyme system produced one well resolved polymorphic region except peroxidase which had three. On an average 4 loci (26.67%) were found to be polymorphic (P) and mean observed number of alleles per locus (A) was 1.533. Average observed heterozygosity (Ho) was 0.1082 and expected value (He) was 0.0993 with and gene flow Nm = 0.2177 showing low level of genetic variation among different accessions suggesting poor segregation of genes over generations. The isozyme variation was measured by standard gene diversity measures using POPGENE v. 1.32. Dendrograms revealed very low heterozygosity leaving little scope for exploitation of hybrid vigour and suggesting that initiating breeding programmes with Indian land races may not lead to substantial genetic gain, vigorous seed set and higher volumes of oil yield.
Organic Agriculture: The logical sequence to modern chemical agriculture in the Philippine context
Authors: Mendoza Teodoro
Published: November 2019

Organic agriculture, which is also described as less fossil fuel-dependent and agrochemical-free agriculture, is now perceived as the logical sequence to the food production systems which are dependent on agro-chemical inputs from production to processing. This paper discusses the situations and factors that should be considered in the crucial process of shifting approaches to food production systems to achieve food security in the new millennium.
In the past, farmers shifted with government support to chemical agriculture to produce the food requirements of the burgeoning population. Soils are badly degraded from the use of chemical fertilizer and pest populations are so complex and crop failures associated with no application of pesticides are widely known. Withdrawal from agrochemical use will mean huge yield reduction without soil fertility restoration and any further yield decline is unacceptable both to the farmers and the consumers. The shift to organic agriculture requires soil fertility restoration, breeding/selection of seeds for organic agriculture, adoption of cultural management practices and shifting monocropping to diverse planting, integrated nutrient management and ecological pest management systems, among others.
Farmers need full government support to shift to organic agriculture. Moreover, the society or the consumers need to realize that the shift to organic agriculture is for their own benefit, hence, they need to appreciate, understand, cooperate, patronize and put premium value to organic agriculture products. The superior quality of organic products should be appreciated and should be translated to higher price. Organic agriculture production should be complemented with a change in consumer preferences or consumption patterns. It should be translated into a demand that will lead to changes in the supply side thereby changing the agricultural production systems that our Filipino farmers currently adopt.

The focus of the problem in this study is to analyze the coaching process carried out by the Government and NGOs. The phenomenon of forest conversion into large oil palm plantations has eliminated the source of livelihoods of the SAD community, which largely depends on forest products. Transfer of land functions also caused some SAD out of their original home range and made SAD fragmented and formed groups with new identities. The study was conducted using historical research methods with a socio-cultural approach. The use of development theory is needed to support the writing of this thesis. From the results of the study it was found that the impact of the formation and effect of the conversion of forest functions which were used as large oil palm plantations and settlements of transmigrants during the New Order changed some SAD communities to shift their livelihoods, change their mindset, broaden their traditions and culture of origin and shape their origin a new identity. After entering the period of Regional Autonomy, the SAD people who were initially silent and accepted all the policies that came from the Central Government, now become a tough person and oppose all the injustices that were perpetrated by the New Order Government. SAD began to demand customary rights in the form of customary land which affected the next Government.

Superwarfarin (Long-Acting Anti-coagulant Rodenticides) Poisoning: from Pathophysiology to Laboratory-Guided Clinical Management
Authors: Chong Yeow-Kuan , Mai Tony Wing-Lai
Published: November 2019

Superwarfarins are long-acting anticoagulant rodenticides developed from warfarin. The mechanism of action is by inhibition of vitamin K epoxide reductase, resulting in the inability of the body to recycle vitamin K. Deficiency of vitamin K thereafter leads to inability for the body to synthesise vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors, factor II, VII, IX, and X, leading to prolonged prothrombin time. Due to the bulky aromatic sidechains, superwarfarins have a much longer half-life when compared to warfarin, and exposure to superwarfarins results in a prolonged period of anticoagulation which can result in clinical bleeding. Diagnosis is straight forward in patients with known history of superwarfarin exposure but has proved difficult for patients who did not report superwarfarin intake. Superwarfarin poisoning should therefore be suspected in all patients with unexplained prolongation of prothrombin time, and can be confirmed by their detection in serum. Treatment for superwarfarin poisoning includes rapid correction of factor deficiencies with either four factor prothrombin complex concentrate or fresh frozen plasma in patients with active bleeding, and high dose vitamin K therapy given multiple times per day for a prolonged period of weeks to months.

INSTITUTIONAL FEATURES OF CREATING GLOBAL VALUE CHAINS: AN EXAMPLE OF SIBERIAN BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANIES
Authors: Valieva Olga
Published: November 2019

In accordance with the European concept of GVC, the study identified key players in the biotechnology market and attempted to analyze the degree of incorporation of Siberian biotechnology companies into global value chains. Preliminary results showed that domestic companies are poorly embedded in global value chains. In the markets of “red” biotechnologies, this is the import of primary highly purified / low-purified substances, depending on the scope of use in the final product and the export of high-tech R & D services. The weak link of our market in GVC is engineering and distribution. In the markets of "green" biotechnology, in which segments of genetic engineering can be distinguished (breeding new plant varieties, GM crops), biotechnologies for livestock and plant growing, high competitiveness and export potential have so far formed only in the market of biological plant protection products.
KAJIAN ASIMETRI INFORMASI DALAM PENENTUAN ALOKASI ANGGARAN
Authors: Sirat Achmad Fauzan
Published: November 2019

Asimetri informasi adalah suatu kondisi dimana satu pihak mempunyai informasi yang lebih daripada pihak lain sehingga salah satu pihak akan dapat mengambil manfaat dari pihak yang lain.  Dalam alokasi anggaran hal inipun terjadi yang berpotensi menimbulkan overallocated ataupun underallocated dari anggaran. Menteri Keuangan sebagai wakil pemerintah dalam menjaga stabilitas fiskal berkepentingan agar alokasi anggaran sesuai dengan yang dibutuhkan (anggaran ideal). Kondisi ini dalam kenyataannya bisa tidak tercapai apabila terdapat asimetri informasi dalam dalam penentuan alokasi anggaran.

Kajian ini bertujuan memberikan gambaran fungsi standar biaya dalam rangka mengatasi kondisi asimetri informasi melalui proses signalling dan screening. Kajian ini mengungkapkan bahwa standar biaya masukan merupakan bagian dari proses signaling sedangkan standar biaya keluaran termasuk bagian dari  proses screening. Namun demikian kajian ini secara khusus menekankan pada proses screening. Simulasi lebih lanjut mengenai proses screening tersebut dilakukan melalui metode statistik deskriptif terkait dengan kecenderungan nilai tengah atas data yang ada.

Dalam simulasi tersebut, rata-rata dapat menjadi upaya untuk mencari indikasi kecenderungan umum dalam memproduksi suatu output. Selain itu, pengelompokan output dalam jenis tertentu dapat menjadi upaya untuk mencari indikasi kecenderungan umum dalam memproduksi suatu output. Kualitas penentuan benchmark bergantung pada kualitas data yang dimiliki. Dengan asumsi angka MTEF sudah benar, alokasi dana untuk tahun yang direncanakan adalah cost per unit dari output hasil dari proses screening dikalikan dengan kuantitas output yang akan dilaksanakan. Atau dengan kata lain: Alokasi = PxQ, dimana P= Ouput-Cost per unit dan Q=angka output yang akan dihasilkan. Hal ini juga dapat menjadi solusi atas keakuratan alokasi untuk mengurangi budgetary slack, serta menjadi media untuk meninggalkan fokus detail dibawah output.
Nano-Sized and Mechanically Activated Composites: Perspectives for Enhanced Mass Burning Rate in Aluminized Solid Fuels for Hybrid Rocket Propulsion
Authors: Paravan Christian
Published: November 2019

This work provides a lab-scale investigation of the ballistics of solid fuel formulations based on hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene and loaded with Al-based energetic additives. Tested metal-based fillers span from micron- to nano-sized powders and include oxidizer-containing fuel-rich composites. The latter are obtained by chemical and mechanical processes providing reduced diffusion distance between Al and the oxidizing species source. A thorough pre-burning characterization of the additives is performed. The combustion behaviors of the tested formulations are analyzed considering the solid fuel regression rate and the mass burning rate as the main parameters of interest. A non-metallized formulation is taken as baseline for the relative grading of the tested fuels. Instantaneous and time-average regression rate data are determined by an optical time-resolved technique. The ballistic responses of the fuels are analyzed together with high-speed visualizations of the regressing surface. The fuel formulation loaded with 10 wt.% nano-sized aluminum (ALEX-100) shows a mass burning rate enhancement over the baseline of 55% ± 11% for an oxygen mass flux of 325 ± 20 kg/(m2∙s), but this performance increase nearly disappears as combustion proceeds. Captured high-speed images of the regressing surface show the critical issue of aggregation affecting the ALEX-100-loaded formulation and hindering the metal combustion. The oxidizer-containing composite additives promote metal ignition and (partial) burning in the oxidizer-lean region of the reacting boundary layer. Fuels loaded with 10 wt.% fluoropolymer-coated nano-Al show mass burning rate enhancement over the baseline >40% for oxygen mass flux in the range 325 to 155 kg/(m2∙s). The regression rate data of the fuel composition loaded with nano-sized Al-ammonium perchlorate composite show similar results. In these formulations, the oxidizer content in the fuel grain is <2 wt.%, but it plays a key role in performance enhancement thanks to the reduced metal–oxidizer diffusion distance. Formulations loaded with mechanically activated ALEX-100–polytetrafluoroethylene composites show mass burning rate increases up to 140% ± 20% with metal mass fractions of 30%. This performance is achieved with the fluoropolymer mass fraction in the additive of 45%.

One challenge in plant breeding is to ensure optimized production under fluctuating environments while reducing the environmental impacts of agriculture. Thus, new rapeseed varieties should be adapted to a wide range of pedoclimatic conditions and constraints. Addressing this issue requires identifying the critical factors limiting production and the genotype by environment (G × E) interaction. Our goal was to characterize the effects of environment and G × E interaction on the seed yield of rapeseed grown over a large field network. First, we defined a pedoclimatic indicator set with the ability to highlight the potential limiting factors along the crop cycle by analyzing the yield of two genotypes grown under 20 environments. Out of the 84 pedoclimatic indicators, 10 were identified as limiting after a partial least squares regression analysis. The environments were then clustered into five envirotypes, each characterized by few major limiting factors: low winter temperatures and heat stress during seed filling (1); low solar radiation during seed filling (3); vernalization conditions during winter (4) and high temperatures at flowering (5). A larger genetic diversity was evaluated in a subset of 11 environments to analyze the impact of envirotyping on genotype ranking. Their results were discussed in light of field network management and plant breeding purposes.

The increased demand of high quantity and quality of cherry tomatoes requires the application of a wide range of pre-harvest pesticides. The application of dozens of pre-harvest pesticides frequently results in multiple pesticide residues, to which the end consumer is exposed. Incorrect usage of these pesticides may result in hazardous food contamination and therefore, it is crucial to monitor pesticide residues in pre- and post-marketed agricultural commodities. Hence, the objectives of the present study were to characterize the distribution and residual levels of pre-harvest pesticides applied on cherry tomatoes, as a function of regulated storage conditions, irrigation water salinity levels, and tap water rinsing. The fruits were grown in a greenhouse and were designated for the local and international markets. The residual pesticide levels allowed us to perform a dietary risk assessment for the consumption of contaminated tomatoes. Tetraconazole was the only pesticide residue, exceeding the maximal residue limit (MRL) value of 50 µg/kg in the fruits after 5 days of storage time. Since tetraconazole was shown to potentially impair reproduction and fetal development, it is suggested that the last application of this pesticide would be restricted to not less than 56 days before harvest. The extent of pesticide peel penetrability as well as the pesticide distribution and residual levels in the peel and pulp were unaffected by the salinity level (electrical conductivity 1.5–3 ds/m) of the irrigation water. The most commonly applied household washing procedure for fruit and vegetables, using running tap water for 30 s, was ineffective in removing residual pesticides from the peel. Hence, more efficient washing procedures are required to improve consumers’ safety.

We evaluated the fatty acid compositions in relation to yield and soil nutrients from four fields A, B, C, and D with continuous monocropping histories of 0–3 years, respectively, in Japan from 2015 to 2016. Results showed that, in both evaluation years, seed yield did not significantly differ among the fields although field A produced the highest mean seed yield and 1000-seed weight. Between fields A and C, 1000-seed weight showed significant differences. The contents of seed-saturated fatty acids lauric and myristic decreased in only fields C and D whereas oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids increased in field D. Only field A produced the highest contents of lauric and myristic acids whereas field D produced the highest contents of linoleic and linolenic acids. The soil total N and exchangeable K contents tended to decrease as exchangeable Mg content significantly increased on the fields with long duration of cropping, fields C and D. Principal component analysis revealed significant positive correlations between soil exchangeable K, and total N contents with 1000-seed weight and lauric acid, as exchangeable Mg content was related with oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. Therefore, the high oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids from field D were mainly attributed to high soil exchangeable Mg content, whereas the high 1000-seed weight, lauric acid and myristic acid were due to the high soil exchangeable K content in field A. Overall, the fatty acid composition quality on the long-duration continuously monocropped fields could show high economic value at the expense of yield under this management practice in continuous monocropping.
Potential Applications of Guayulins to Improve Feasibility of Guayule Cultivation

Published: November 2019

Guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray) is an interesting alternative and renewable source of rubber/latex which has been used in the past. Guayule rubber and latex products are not available in the market largely because the raw material cost is higher than the current sources produced in South-East Asia and other tropical countries (Hevea brasiliensis). Guayule contains many other compounds whose joint exploitation could make guayule cultivation profitable, especially in semi-desert areas where cultivation of other crops is difficult or impossible. Guayulins A–D, sesquiterpene esters, appear to have some commercial promise. Despite being accumulated in relatively high concentrations (its majority representative, guayulin A, can account for up to 13.7% of the resin content of this plant, which itself ranges from 6%–12%), guayulins have received little direct attention from scientists. This review presents the current knowledge about the activity of these compounds and, based on known activities of similar compounds from other species, potential uses as fungicides, miticides and insecticides are suggested.

With increasing age, the rumen microbiota of new-born ruminants become central in the translation of fibrous feed substances into essential nutrients. However, the colonization process of the microbial community (especially fungal community) remains poorly understood in ruminants at pre-weaning stages. In this study, the rumen bacterial and fungal colonization processes were investigated in goats at eight stages using amplicon sequencing. For bacteria, we found 36 common core genera at D0, D3, D14, D28, and D56, including mainly Bacillus, Alloprevotella, Bacteroides, Prevotella_1, Lactococcus, and Ruminococcaceae_NK4A214. Firmicutes was the dominant phylum among the total microbiota in newborn goat kids (prior to nursing), while Bacillus, Lactococcus, and Pseudomonas were predominant genera. Interestingly, the proportion of Bacillus was as high as 55% in newborn animals. After milk nursing, the predominant phylum changed to Bacteroidetes, while the proportion of Bacillus and Lactobacillus was very low. CowPi was used to predict the functional gene pathways and we found increases in the abundance of genes associated with amino acid related enzymes, DNA repair and recombination proteins, aminoacyl tRNA biosynthesis, and peptidases after D3. With regard to fungi, we found that there were 51 common genera at day 0 (D0), D3, D14, D28, and D56, including mainly Cryptococcus, Aspergillus, and Caecomyces. Aspergillus occupied approximately 47% at day 0, but then it decreased from day 3 to day 14. This study indicates that the core microbes of rumen emerged shortly after birth, but the abundance was very different from the core genus of the adult rumen. In addition, we also report a detailed scheme of the bacterial and fungal colonization process in rumens and propose three distinct stages during the rumen colonization process in pre-weaning goats, which will offer a reference for the development of milk substitutes for small ruminants.
