Authors: Widyawati Susi
Published: January 2019

Bahasa Indonesia merupakan bahasa persatuan bangsa Indonesia. Pada awalnya kedudukan bahasa Indonesia hanya sebagai bahasa persatuan, negara, dan resmi. Setelah itu, bahasa Indonesia mengalami perkembangan yang pesat, yaitu sebagai bahasa ilmu atau bahasa penghela ilmu pengetahuan yang digunakan dalam proses belajar-mengajar. Sebelum mencapai titik tersebut, bahasa Indonesia telah melalui proses yang sangat panjang. Oleh karena itu, bahasa Indonesia harus selalu berkembang agar tetap berperan sebagai penghela ilmu pengetahuan. Terlebih, di era globalisasi yang semua serba mendunia, bangsa Indonesia harus pandai menyaring bahasa asing yang akan masuk ke dalam bahasa Indonesia. Penyaringan tersebut mencakup kosakata dan istilah. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan sumber data kepustakaan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui peran bahasa Indonesia sebagai penghela ilmu pengetahuan. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah kedudukan bahasa Indonesia sebagai penghela ilmu pengetahuan.

Published: January 2019

Bahasa Indonesia adalah jati diri sekaligus identitas bangsa Indonesia. Bahasa Indonesia memegang peranan penting pada semua aspek kehidupan. Saat ini adalah generasi milenial, masa adanya peningkatan penggunaan dan keakraban dengan komunikasi, media dan teknologi digital. Hal tersebut berdampak pada perkembangan bahasa Indonesia, keadaan yang ada sekarang adalah fungsi bahasa Indonesia mulai digantikan atau tergeser oleh bahasa asing dan adanya perilaku yang cenderung menyelipkan istilah bahasa asing. Padahal padanan dalam bahasa Indonesianya ada, dikarenakan sikap yang menyakini bahwa akan terlihat modern, dan terpelajar dan dengan alasan mempermudah komunikasi di era milenial. Istilah generasi Milenial dewasa ini sedang viral, khususnya di media sosial. Netizen (warganet) sering menyebutnya dengan kids jaman now. Generasi ini hadir sebagai bentuk diferensiasi antara generasi zaman dulu yang eksis di tahun 90-an dengan generasi yang sedang eksis di zaman sekarang. Dari segia usia, bisa dikatakan generasi milenial adalah mereka yang saat ini berada pada rentang umur 15-30 tahun. Bahasa meliputi ungkapan, pengucapan kata, dan kontruksi yang telah dipakai dalam jangka waktu yang lama. Ungkapan, pilihan kata, dan konstruksi itu dipilih oleh penutur dari generasi yang berbeda dengan frekuensi yang berbeda pula. Bahkan, ada ada bagian bahasa lebih-lebih pada tataran leksikal dan sintaksis, yang dirasakan berbeda oleh para penutur "modern" dengan yang "kuno".

USING YOUTUBE AS MEDIA FOR TEACHING PRONOUNCATION
Authors: sukmawati fitria ainur rohmah , SUKMAWATI FITRIA AINUR ROHMAH
Published: January 2019

There are many things that English teachers need to fit into their limited class time—grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Pronunciation often gets pushed to the bottom of the list. Many teachers say there’s just not enough time to teach pronunciation. Students often think it isn’t that important—after all, it won’t be tested on their college entrance exams! But if students need or want to speak English understandably, pronunciation is important. The days when learners only needed reading and writing skills in English are past. Depending on where you teach, many or all of your students will need to speak and understand English in real life to communicate with both native speakers of English and speakers of other languages. Even if students’ grammar and vocabulary are strong, if their pronunciation isn’t easy to understand, their communication will fail. We owe it to our students to give them the tools they’ll need to be able to communicate successfully in English.

The writing of this article aims to find out the existence of Indonesian and English as a science defender in the era of globalization. Globalization is an era of changes in time due to the influence of foreign cultures and globalization affecting all aspects of life, including language. In this era of globalization, Indonesian and English share a role as an advocate of science because Indonesian is the language of the mother whose position in Indonesia cannot be replaced other than that, Indonesian is a unifying language between one region and another in Indonesia, while English is language of immigrants in Indonesia. Therefore, Indonesian must be able to maintain the integrity of the Indonesian language so that it does not become extinct in the current era of globalism and Indonesian must develop vocabulary or anything related to Indonesian so that the existence of Indonesian and English can share the role of science advocate in globalization era.Keywords: Indonesian, English, Globalization Era.
Children's use of race and gender as cues to social status
Authors: Mandalaywala Tara M , Tai Christine , Rhodes Marjorie
Published: January 2019

Social hierarchies are ubiquitous and determine a range of developmental outcomes, yet little is known about when children develop beliefs about status hierarchies in their communities. The present studies (3.5-6.9 years; N = 420) found that children begin to use gender and race as cues to status in early childhood, but that gender and race related to different status dimensions and had different consequences for inter-group attitudes. Children expected boys to hold higher status as defined by access to resources and decision-making power (e.g., having more toys and choosing what other people play with) but did not expect boys to have more wealth overall. Gender-related status beliefs did not relate to gender-related social preferences; instead, children preferred members of their own gender, regardless of their status beliefs. In contrast, children expected White people to be wealthier than Black people, and among some populations of children, the belief that White people were higher status (as defined by access to resources and decision-making power) weakly related to pro-White bias. Children’s status-expectations about others were unrelated to beliefs about their own status, suggesting children more readily apply category-based status beliefs to others than to themselves.

A Corpus-assisted Critical Discourse Analysis of the Discursive Representation of Immigration in the EU Referendum Debate
Authors: Aluthman Ebtisam Saleh
Published: January 2019

This paper presents a critical account of the representation of immigration in the Brexit corpus—a collective corpus of 108,452,923 words compiled mostly from blogs, tweets, and daily news related to Brexit debate. The study follows the methodological synergy approach proposed by Baker et al. (2008), a heuristic methodological approach that combines methods of discourse analysis and corpus-assisted statistical tools including keyword, collocation, and concordance analysis. Drawing on this methodological synergy approach, the investigation yields significant findings contextualized within the socio-economic-political context of the European Union (EU) leave referendum to trace how the issue of immigration is represented in the discourses of the Remain and Leave campaigns. The frequency results show that immigration is one of the most salient topics in the Brexit corpus. Concordance analysis of the word immigrants and collocation investigation of the word immigration reveal opposing attitudes toward immigration in the EU referendum debate. The analysis uncovers negative attitudes toward the uncontrolled flow of immigrants from other EU countries and public concerns about immigrants' negative impacts on wages, education, and health services. Other findings reveal positive attitudes toward immigrants emphasizing their positive contributions to the UK economy. The study concludes with an argument of the significant association between the political and socio-economic ideologies of a particular society and the language communicated in its media.
EFL Learners and Their Success in Learning English in the Thai Context
Authors: Phothongsunan Sureepong
Published: January 2019

The main aim of the study is to explore 15 high achieving English language learners’ accounts of their undertakings in learning English in a Thai upper secondary school. The researcher adopts the view of social learning, particularly in reaching better understandings of the learners’ experiences in learning English. As there exists a tendency to gauge learners’ success in English based on examinations, this study asserts that language learning involves more than a cognitive process, thus values the social aspects of experiential English learning. The focus lies on investigating the perceptions of these high achieving English language learners of their success in learning English as well as the influences contributing to it. Two methods are used to collect data: focus groups and interviews. The findings indicate the participants’ perceptions of their own success in learning English in three main aspects: English language ability, examination performance and skills in teaching others. In particular, the ability to speak English fluently and correctly appears to be of utmost importance for a successful English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learner. It is also found that most learners identify their own performance in class, the teacher, including teacher rapport, and school culture as contributing to their English learning achievement. In focusing on the learners’ perceptions and their actual experiences, insights into how the learners actually undergo the learning opportunities provided by the education system can be obtained. To understand the extent to which innovations in English language teaching and learning have been successful, the everyday realities of the language classroom and school have to be accentuated.
The Speech Act of Complimenting as Part of the Ukrainian, Russian and English-Speaking Communities: Ukraine and the USA
Authors: Solodka Anzhelika , Perea Luis
Published: January 2019

Compliments as speech acts have the reflection and expression of cultural values. Many of the values reflected through compliments are personal appearance, new acquisitions, possessions, talents and skills. It is especially important in linguistic interaction between people. This research aims to analyze the speech acts of complimenting in Ukrainian and American cultures in order to use them for teaching pragmatics second language (L2) students. Defining the ways of complimenting in Ukrainian, Russian and American English help to avoid misunderstandings and pragmatic failures. This study uses a method of ethnomethodology. Speach acts are studied in their natural contexts. To carry out this research native speakers of English in the United States and native speakers of Russian and Ukrainian from all over Ukraine were interviewed on-line. The analysis was made on the data that included: 445 Russian, 231 Ukrainian and 245 English compliments. Results of this study show how native speakers tend to compliment people: syntactical structure of expressions, cultural lexicon, attributes praised and language context. It has implications for teaching English to Ukrainians and for teaching Russian and Ukrainian to speakers of English. Knowing how to use speech acts allows the speaker to have pragmatic competence. Upon completion of the data analysis on the current study, further information on deeper analysis in terms of semantics and metaphorical language can be provided.
The Speed of Large-Scale Transformation of Political and Economic Institutions
Authors: Šimić Banović Ružica , Basarac Sertić Martina , Vučković Valentina
Published: January 2019

This article compares the applicability of both the gradual and the shock therapy approach to reform implementation in large-scale change. Using quantitative data, it aims to provide more evidence for the lessons learned from post-socialist transformation. Hence it adds a theoretical and an empirical contribution to the body of literature on great transformations, focusing on their speed and the
acceptability of related policy solutions. Despite the predominant inclination towards the gradualist approach to reforms in the initial transition years, economic indicators suggest that the big
bang reformers have demonstrated a superior performance over the last (few) decade(s). Still, the approach to (post-)transition processes should be multidimensional and include more than the speed of transformation and key economic indicators. Therefore, a quantitative analysis covers several aspects of socioeconomic change. The analysis of the quality of democracy, market economy, and management performance in post-socialist EU member states indicates that over
the last decade the countries that applied the shock therapy approach have performed significantly better in all these areas. This suggests that slow reformers are lagging behind in the development of democratic institutions and a modern market economy, and presumably have insufficient capacities to rapidly catch up with fast reformers.
Further research on this topic should tackle the deep roots of socioeconomic development and path-dependent choices (reform speed included), proximity to Western countries, the possible effects of other specific circumstances (such as war), the importance of selected institutions on the performance of post-socialist non-EU member states, and other limitations.
Zapošljavanje u javnoj upravi u Hrvatskoj i Slavoniji (1868. – 1918.) s obzirom na državljanstvo i hrvatsko – slavonsku pripadnost
Authors: Kosnica Ivan
Published: January 2019

Predmet rada je zapošljavanje u javnoj upravi u Hrvatskoj i Slavoniji s obzirom na kriterije ugarsko-hrvatskog državljanstva i hrvatsko-slavonske pripadnosti u nagodbenom razdoblju. Problematizira se teza hrvatskih javnopravnih teoretičara na prijelazu iz 19. u 20. stoljeće o tome da je hrvatsko-slavonska pripadnost bila temeljni kriterij za zapošljavanje u javnoj upravi. U radu se dokazuje da u nizu upravnih
područja hrvatsko-slavonska pripadnost nije uspostavljena kao temeljni kriterij za zapošljavanje, nego su temeljni kriteriji bili ugarsko-hrvatsko državljanstvo te znanje hrvatskog jezika. Stoga je osnovni zaključak rada da je poznavanje hrvatskog jezika, a ne hrvatsko-slavonska pripadnost, bila brana većem zapošljavanju mađarskih činovnika i službenika u Hrvatskoj i Slavoniji. Iznimka od toga bilo je zapošljavanje
na državnim željeznicama na kojima je upotreba mađarskog jezika bila izražena te je to bilo razlog zapošljavanja većeg broja ugarskih pripadnika u Hrvatskoj i Slavoniji.
Ka a Temporal Prefix in Mardini Arabic Derived from the Verb Kana (To Be)
Authors: Grigore George
Published: January 2019

Grammaticalization is usually thought of as that subset of linguistic changes through which a lexical item in certain uses becomes a grammatical item, or through which a grammatical item becomes more grammatical (Hopper- Traugott, 2). This paper is an attempt to present this phenomenon, showing the results of our investigation on the development of the temporal marker in Mardini Arabic (spoken in Mardin province situated in Southern Turkey) from lexical items (kan-to be) into grammatical prefix (ka). This prefix is attached to the extratem- poral forms of the verb (imperfective and perfective). The verb kana (to be) existent both in standard Arabic and in all the Arabic dialects, has syntactically the role of a temporal marker that changes the tem- poral situation of a normal sentence (without kana). When the verb kana modi- fies a verbal sentence, both kana and the verb that follows it, independently take all the marks of conjugation (aspect, mood, person, gender and number). Hence, we realize that kana is not an auxiliary verb and the Arabic language does not have compound tense forms.

Mobile forensics analysis is the sub-domain of digital forensics, which addresses solving the minor technology misuse cases to substantial international digital crime cases. Mobile forensic refers to the acquisition of data and analysis of the artifacts collected from the mobile devices. Mobile phones are used as a means of communication and have evolved to a mini-portable computer having the advanced communication capabilities. New threats and challenges are being faced in the domain of mobile forensics by every passing year. In this paper, we review forensic analysis techniques for android phones and perform a critical analysis of the recent trends and techniques in the field of mobile forensics. We provide a comprehensive overview to the current state-of-the-art in this area. We identify new methodologies, tools and techniques which are successfully being used for forensic investigations of the mobile phones. With the help of this analysis we identify the key challenges and knowledge gaps for potential future research work.

Published: January 2019

The ability to create alternatives to social problems in a sustainable way can be understood as social innovation. Social innovation is a way of equalizing social problems, being considered an option for market, state and society failures. Thus, social innovation presents itself as a possible and necessary alternative for solving the problems related to Sustainable Development, especially education. This study seeks, from the perspective of the Innovation Capability, to identify the Capability for social innovation in Associations, Businesses Foundations and Social Businesses that work in the area of Education in the Southeast of Brazil. In this research, the Social Innovation Capability is composed of five factors, namely: Facilitating Leadership; Strategic Intention to Innovate Socially; Democratic Management; Co-creation of Social Innovation and Open Social Innovation. The research methodology is qualitative descriptive. For the data collection, an online questionnaire was sent to a selection of organizations belonging to all three types of organizations studied (Associations, Businesses Foundations and Social Businesses) that work in the area of Education in the Southeast of Brazil. As results, the responses of eight organizations, each with three respondents, were analyzed. The organizations were identified as being three Associations, two Businesses Foundations and three Social Businesses. The results were analyzed in light of the social innovation literature. The results indicate that in the Associations, Businesses Foundations and in Social Businesses, the determinants factors of the Capability for social innovation Democratic Management and Open Social Innovation are highlighted. Among the results it is worth noting that the Co-creation factor of Social Innovation is not representative for the organizations studied.
Effects of Attentional and Motivational Priming on Athletic Performance
Authors: Scott Morgan , Burgess Kaitlin , Jackson Shelia L
Published: January 2019

The effect of motivational and attentional primes on athletic performance was assessed. Thirty-four male, recreational basketball players shot 10 free throws after completing a word scrambled sentence task that primed either autonomous motivation, fluency, or nothing (control). Results revealed that neither prime significantly increased free throw scores more than the control, but fluency primed participants scored significantly more free throws than autonomous motivation primed participants. Results provide support that athletes should try to relax during high pressure situations that require precision. Focusing on the task at hand will hinder performance, while naturally going through the motions will enhance performance. Results also provided support that there is an optimal level of arousal for performing one’s best. Too low or too high of arousal actually hinders an athlete’s performance.
Nurse Leader Initiatives to Decrease Job Stress on the Acute Care Unit
Authors: Keil Shauna , Hober Christine
Published: January 2019

Nurses are expected to provide high quality, safe healthcare in working environments where limited resources and increasing responsibilities are common. An imbalance between providing high quality care and managing or minimizing the assault of stressors can lead to increased job stress. Nurses on the Acute Care Unit (ACU) of a Midwestern, rural hospital utilized the Nursing Stress Scale (NSS) developed by Gray-Toft & Anderson (1981) to analyze aggregated mean data self-reported scores for job stressors before and after focused change initiatives. Nurses selected and led change initiatives for the top five scoring stressors that nurses concurred were modifiable using interprofessional interventions. Multidisciplinary teams collaborated to choose educational sessions, updated resources, and revised communication tools in an attempt to decrease job stress on the unit. The results of the second NSS when compared to the first survey overall demonstrated decreased stress mean scores in six of the seven subscales. The specific nurse led unit initiatives decreased self-reported job stress in four of the five areas. This project found encouraging results in decreasing job stress by implementing nurse led change initiates on the ACU.

Preschool children’s creation and storytelling through an element of their everyday life. The case of the program “The neighborhoods of Athens in a book”
Authors: Palaiologou Christina , Poumprou Maria
Published: January 2019

In recent decades, many case studies have been carried out on the ability of preschool children to tell a story. Most studies take place in a kindergarten setting. The present research was conducted on the occasion of an educational program that took place within the framework of the “Open Schools” initiative. This institution offers free recreational and education programs to the children of the Municipality of Athens in neighborhoods facing serious economic problems due to the economic crisis. This program gave the opportunity to 25 preschool children to talk about their neighborhood and create their own book. Even though the conditions were not favorable (time was not enough and the children did not know each other), in the end they were able to tell and illustrate a story by choosing a single element of their environment. In this case study, children were encouraged to create and communicate through play and free expression.

Authors: Nation Denise D.
Published: January 2019

Research has shown that active learning techniques increase students’ ability to find solutions to problems and help students to think critically about problems. In a technology-driven global arena, in which students will have to compete after they matriculate, effective instruction should advocate effective use of technology incorporating active learning techniques. These techniques should enhance students’ oral and written communication, technological competence, information literacy and critical analysis skills. The purpose of this study is to explore students’ perceptions of blogging as an effective teaching and learning tool for research methods. The study explores if blogging increases students’ performance, if it improves their appreciation of the subject matter and if it reduces their fear/anxiety of the material. The results indicate that blogging could be a viable and effective tool to engage and impact students’ performance.

Narratives about the insertion of male teachers in the early childhood education
Authors: Silva André Luiz dos Santos , Avila Richard Simon
Published: January 2019

Based on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Oral History and Gender as an analytical category, this article analyzes the insertion of male teachers in Early Childhood Education. Two physical education teachers and two directors of the private school system participated in this study. From the memories of the deponents it was possible to perceive that the presence of men in Early Childhood Education was legitimized by the 'need' of a masculine reference for the children. Despite this, the deponents reported that they had their sexuality put under suspicion, after all, they would be breaking gender norms for the male gender.
The Three Reflections Theorem Revisited
Authors: Weiss Gunter
Published: January 2019

It is well-known that, in a Euclidean plane, the product of three reflections is again a reflection, iff their axes pass through a common point. For this ``Three reflections Theorem'' (3RT) also non-Euclidean versions exist, see e.g. [4]. This article presents affine versions of it, considering a triplet of skew reflections with axes through a common point. It turns out that the essence of all those cases of 3RT is that the three pairs (axis, reflection direction) of the given (skew) reflections can be observed as an involutoric projectivity. For the Euclidean case and its non-Euclidean counterparts this property is automatically fulfilled. From the projective geometry point of view a (skew) reflection is nothing but a harmonic homology. In the affine situation a reflection is an indirect involutoric transformation, while ``direct'' or ``indirect'' makes no sense in projective planes. A harmonic homology allows an interpretation both, as an axial reflection and as a point reflection. Nevertheless, one might study products of three harmonic homologies, which result in a harmonic homology again. Some special mutual positions of axes and centres of the given homologies lead to elations or even to the identity, too. A consequence of the presented results are further generalisations of the 3RT, e.g. in planes with Minkowski metric, affine or projective 3-space, or in circle geometries.

Published: January 2019

Background:

In the care of persons with cognitive problems, it is important to use a valid mild cognitive impairment (MCI) criterion that discriminates well between normal and pathological aging.

Objective:

To find the brief neuropsychological screening criterion that best correlates with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers for cognitive decline and dementia in persons seeking help for cognitive problems.

Methods:

452 consecutively recruited patients (age 40–80 years) from memory-clinics in the Norwegian national multicentre longitudinal study Dementia Disease Initiation were included. CSF data as well as full data from brief neuropsychological screening were available for all patients.

Results:

Amnestic MCI, including at least one memory test below T-score 40, outperformed the conventional US National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer’s Association (NIA-AA) MCI criterion. Only amnestic MCI was significantly associated with biomarker pattern of NIA-AA stage 2 (low CSF A β42 concentrations and elevated tau) in multivariate regression analysis.

Conclusions:

The finding that amnestic MCI based on brief neuropsychological assessment is significantly associated with CSF biomarkers for cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease is in accordance with longitudinal studies that find memory impairment; both in itself and especially in combination with other cognitive deficit to constitute a risk factor for subsequent cognitive decline and dementia. The prevalence of pathological biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease is common in the elderly and the clinical significance of present findings depend on longitudinal validation.
Anthocyanin fingerprint of different genotypes of wild grapes (Vitis vinifera spp. sylvestris (Gmelin) Hegi)
Authors: Revilla Eugenio , Carrasco David , Benito Alejandro , Arroyo-García Rosa A.
Published: January 2019

BACKGROUND:

Anthocyanins are the main pigments in red grapes, and have been detected in samples of wild grapevine berries.

OBJECTIVE:

Evaluation of whether the phenolic composition of those plants differs from that presented by cultivated grapes, and assessing if some wild genotypes present some genetic characters of interest related to color accumulation during grape maturation.

METHODS:

The anthocyanin composition of 75 wild grapevines from different Iberian natural populations was studied by HPLC. The anthocyanins fingerprint of those genotypes was determined, and data were analysed by applying several statistical procedures.

RESULTS:

Genotypes under study showed a considerable variability in their anthocyanin fingerprints, being possible to distinguish two great families and several great phenotypic groups.

CONCLUSIONS:

The anthocyanin fingerprint of wild grapevines differs among genotypes collected in different geographical regions, suggesting that the evolution of the biosynthetic pathway leading to anthocyanins is affected by the climatic conditions of different environments.
Physicochemical and dynamic sensory characterization of a Yerba mate/Blackcurrant instant beverage powder rich in natural antioxidants
Authors: Orjuela-Palacio Juliana M. , Zamora Maria Clara , Lanari Maria Cecilia
Published: January 2019

BACKGROUND:

Yerba-mate (YM) and blackcurrant (BC) are rich in polyphenols and anthocyanins with proven health benefits therefore they could be used in functional beverage preparation.

OBJECTIVE:

To (a) develop a palatable powdered beverage with high physicochemical and nutritional quality using YM/BC, (b) determine the effect of in-vitro gastrointestinal digestion on antioxidant content and activity and (c) evaluate beverage’s acceptance temporal changes and dynamic profile during multiple intakes.

METHODS:

We determined powder’s water-activity (aw), moisture content, flowability, micro-morphology, color, cold water solubility, glass-transition temperature (Tg), total polyphenols (TP)/anthocyanins (MAC) and ascorbic-acid contents, antiradical activity (DPPH).

RESULTS:

Powder’s aw (0.089) ensured biochemical/microbiological stability. Tg(55.64°C) indicated that YM/BC’s vacuum-storage at 20–25 °C was possible without losing glassy state. Powder’s cold water’s solubility was 90%. 1 L (60 g/L) provided 556.8 mg TP/198.11 mg monomeric-anthocyanins. Ascorbic- acid dose was half the recommended daily intake. In-vitro gastrointestinal digestion reduced total polyphenols/monomeric-anthocyanins 59–70 %, but antiradical activity losses were 9%. Overall-acceptance and Time-Intensity curves results were in the Hedonic scale’s “Like moderately to like very much” zone. Berries/Sweet were the only dominant attributes Astringency accumulative effects not detected.

CONCLUSIONS:

The YM/BC powder had good physical/biochemical/microbiological stability under industrial storage conditions and high antiradical activity after simulated gastrointestinal digestion. Sensory scores suggested that consumer’s acceptance could be high.

Published: January 2019

BACKGROUND:

Pomegranate ( Punica granatum L.) juice is a highly-valued beverage that has been demonstrated to have large quantities of polyphenolic compounds with powerful antioxidant properties. Currently there is limited information related to other components of the juices of USDA germplasm.

OBJECTIVE:

Preselected pomegranate germplasm was evaluated to identify unique cultivars with consumer-friendly traits and to select candidates that meet or exceed juice quality parameters of ‘Wonderful’ juice.

METHODS

Juices from 14 cultivars and commercial pomegranate juice were analyzed using a variety of methods. Juice quality was determined by measuring pH, titratable acidity, citrate, malate, total soluble solids, maturity index, glucose, fructose, γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA), antioxidant activity, total phenolics, potassium, glutamate, glutamine, and ethanol.

RESULTS

Candidate cultivars meeting ‘Wonderful’ juice quality specifications and nutritional profile were identified as were candidates with desirable traits not seen in ‘Wonderful’. There were significant differences among cultivars in pH, titratable acidity, citrate, malate, total soluble solids, maturity index, glucose, fructose, GABA, potassium, glutamate, glutamine, and ethanol. There was no evidence for differences in antioxidant activity and total phenolics of juices among cultivars.

CONCLUSIONS:

Pomegranate cultivars other than ‘Wonderful’ could provide a broader palette of flavors for the consumer, but more research is needed to determine commercial potential of USDA germplasm.
Narcotics and sedatives use in the mechanical ventilation in preterm infants: Predictors and outcome
Authors: Toye J.M. , Yang J. , Sankaran K. ,   Canadian Neonatal Network
Published: January 2019

BACKGROUND:

Mechanical ventilation (MV) causes discomfort but whether it causes pain remains controversial. Around the world neonatal intensive care units (NICU) often utilize narcotics and/or sedatives during MV of vulnerable infants yet the association with adverse neonatal outcomes has not been adequately addressed.

OBJECTIVE:

Test for associations between the use of narcotics/sedatives during MV and mortality/morbidity in preterm infants in a large infant cohort in Canada.

DESIGN/METHODS:

Preterm infants born <35 weeks gestational age (GA) requiring MV for >24 hrs were identified retrospectively from the Canadian Neonatal Network database, 2010–12. Infants were categorized according to whether they received narcotics/sedatives for greater than 24 hours concurrently with MV. Infants were excluded if moribund on admission, had major congenital anomalies, diagnoses where narcotic administration is routine and suspected seizures. Multivariable logistic and linear regression analysis tested for association of narcotics/sedatives use during MV with mortality/morbidity (nosocomial infections, BPD, ROP, IVH) and length of MV.

RESULTS:

After exclusions the cohort included 2672 infants; 467(17%) exposed only to narcotics 101(4%) only to sedatives and 299(11%) to both. All models were adjusted for GA, gender, small for GA, SNAP-II score >20, multiple births, delivery mode, outborn, PDA status, MV type, use of high flow, muscle relaxant use, indwelling lines, caffeine and surfactant therapy. The composite mortality/morbidity, and MV days were significantly higher for MV infants exposed to narcotics, sedatives or both compared to infants not exposed.

CONCLUSION:

Mounting evidence of the adverse short and long-term impacts of narcotics/sedatives during MV supports the need for further work in alternative therapies.
