MULHERES MONSTRUOSAS: O CTÔNICO E O SELVAGEM EM CARMILLA, DE LE FANU
Authors: Penteado Marina Pereira
Published: November 2019

O presente trabalho propõe uma discussão a respeito da representação demoníaca das mulheres, através de aspectos que são, normalmente, ligados ao próprio feminino, na novela Carmilla: a vampira de Karnstein, de Sheridan Le Fanu. Com base em estudos que analisam a perda da autonomia da mulher sobre seu próprio corpo, o primitivo e animalesco e suas representações na literatura, além de estudos que debatem a monstruosidade percebida na figura da mulher e em quase tudo que é ligado ao feminino, busco fazer uma reflexão sobre como a incorporação do selvagem, do ctônico e do dionisíaco tomam forma em Carmilla, e até que medida esses aspectos são utilizados para justificar a morte da vampira.
DESLOCAMENTOS IDENTITÁRIOS E NOMEAÇÃO NO ROMANCE CIRCLE OF AMBER
Authors: Sipavicius Seide Marcia
Published: November 2019

A nomeação e as renomeações são recursos importantes para a representação literária dos movimentos migratórios e as mudanças de identidade do sujeito migrante.Tendo isto em vista, analisam-se, neste artigo, os deslocamentos identitários que são indiciados ou fomentados pelos nomes de alguma das personagens do romance Circle of Amber escrito pela lituana-australiana Jura Reilly e publicado em 2016.Após apresentação da autora e do romance com um todo, analisa-se um recorte que foca as nomeações de quatro personagens: Ella, Algimantas Kelmas, Ernestas e Gaila. A análise apresentada mostra os deslocamentos indiciados pela renomeação, os quais ocorrem por apagamento voluntário ou imposto da origem étnica dos nomeados, assédio moral relacionado com trocadilhos com o nome, e também por convergência entre o significado do nome e as características da personagem ou com o seu destino.A análise também mostra que, apesar da confirmação da caracterização da personagem pelo significado etimológico do nome ser um recurso clássico em romances de língua inglesa, esse recurso também tem relação com as crenças lituanas sobre os nomes de pessoa.Por focar os nomes próprios de personagens ficcionais, a pesquisa apresentada nesta artigo se insere na Antroponomástica Literária, campo da Onomástica na qual os estudos linguísticos se unem aos literários em perspectiva interdisciplinar.

EXPANSÃO DA MONOCULTURA DE EUCALIPTO DAS INDÚSTRIAS DE PAPEL E CELULOSE: UMA ARENA DE CONFLITOS AMBIENTAIS
Authors: Barbosa Rodney Alves , Oliveira Marcelo Leles Romarco , Vilela Katia Fatima , Roque Mariane Batalha
Published: November 2019

Resumo: Com a construção da rodovia BR101, no final da década de 1960, ligando os estados do Espírito Santo e Bahia, a região passou por um intenso processo de exploração da madeira nativa, seguida da ocupação por pastagens destinadas à criação de gado, até chegar aos cultivos de eucalipto, para produção de papel e celulose. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar os conflitos ambientais provocados pela monocultura do eucalipto, no norte do Espírito Santo e no sul da Bahia, e fazer uma reflexão sobre os problemas ocasionados pela introdução da monocultura do eucalipto para atender ao setor de celulose. Este artigo traz uma revisão bibliográfica que analisa os trabalhos de Henri Acselrad e do Observatório Social, que discutem as questões conflituosas provocadas pelo avanço da monocultura do eucalipto em comunidades quilombolas e indígenas daquela região, como também faz uma análise dos documentos disponibilizados pelas empresas de celulose que atuam nos dois estados. Os conflitos das comunidades com as empresas de celulose destacam-se tanto pela ocupação do solo, como pelo avanço da monocultura do eucalipto sobre as comunidades, realidade que tem provocado resistência desses grupos, diante da expansão da atividade naquela região.Palavras-chave: Observatório social. Quilombolas. Espírito Santo. Bahia.Abstract: The construction of the BR101 highway in the late 1960s, connecting the Brazilian States of Espírito Santo (ES) and Bahia (BA), culminated in an intense process of exploration of native wood in the region, followed by pasture areas, which were later substituted by eucalyptus plantations for cellulose and paper production. The objective of this study is to present the environmental conflicts caused by the eucalyptus monoculture in the north of ES and south of BA states.  There is also a consideration about the problems caused by the introduction of eucalyptus monoculture in this area, to provide the cellulose sector. This study presents a bibliographical review that analyzes the studies of Henri Acselrad and the Social Observatory which discuss the issues caused by the advance of eucalyptus monoculture in quilombola and indigenous communities in the same area of the present study. Both also make analyses of the documents provided by the cellulose companies’ operating in this area. The conflicts between the communities and the companies involve the occupation of the soil, as well as the advance of the eucalyptus monoculture over the communities’ land, a reality that has triggered resistance movements from these groups in the face of the expansion of the industries’ activity in the region.Keywords: Social observatory.

Resumo: O presente texto aborda a relação entre o conteúdo de uma rede social digital e a dinâmica de formação do pensamento social nesse ambiente virtual. A partir da análise comunicacional de três eventos da história recente, nomeadamente, a rejeição ao acordo de paz com as FARC (Forças Armadas Revolucionárias da Colômbia) na Colômbia, o Brexit ou saída do Reino Unido da União Europeia e a ocupação das escolas do Rio de Janeiro por parte dos estudantes secundaristas em 2016, o artigo associa a construção de narrativas múltiplas, próprias da Internet, aos princípios de estabilidade e variabilidade que regem a arquitetura do pensamento social. Por fim, concentra-se na descrição das condições de produção desse tipo de pensamento (formalismo espontâneo, dualismo causal, primazia da conclusão e construção de analogia) no intuito de compreender a coerência de sua lógica.Palavras-chave: Redes sociais digitais. Pensamento social. Comunicação. Mobilização.Abstract: This paper deals with the relationship between content in a social media and the formation of social thought in such a virtual environment. Based on the communication analysis of three events in recent history, namely, the rejection of the peace agreement with the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) in Colombia, the Brexit or withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union and the occupation of Rio de Janeiro schools by the students in 2016, the article associates the construction of Internet multiple narratives to the principles of stability and variability that shape the architecture of social thought. Finally, it focuses on the depiction of the conditions of production of that kind of thinking (spontaneous formalism, causal dualism, primacy of conclusion and construction of analogy) aimed at understanding the coherence of its logics by means of illustrative examples.

Authors: Underwood Stella , Green Julie , Walton Rachel , Hackett Kate , Cooke Janet , Pegg Marie , Armstrong Christine
Published: November 2019

A coaching pilot was developed following the publication of a number of reports that recommended a review into how student nurses are taught in clinical practice. A bespoke version of the Collaborative Learning in Practice (CLiP) model was developed, which used both coaching and peer learning to encourage students to lead the delivery of care for a designated group of patients. A senior student led a team consisting of two junior students and they were given the responsibility of directing and coordinating the team in the manner expected of a registered nurse. A qualified nurse was responsible for the supervision of the students and used a coaching approach to teach. Findings from an evaluation revealed that the students benefitted from being able to work autonomously and were able to enhance their leadership and management skills.

Published: November 2019

The Weight loss was employed to investigate the impact of triazole on mild-steel dissolution in 0.5 M HCl solution. The inhibitor’s inhibition efficiency was seen to increase with concentration yielding (81.61%,82.61%,88.29%,91.64%,94.32%) of (T9, T8, T6, T4, T1) at concentration 1×10-4 M HCl, at a temperature of 25°C for 240 min. At a temperature range from 25–45°C, we studied the temperature impact on the corrosion behavior, wherein the results demonstrated decrease in inhibition efficiency with rising in temperature to achieve (61.7%, 52.26%, 63.1%, 72.11%, 75.77 %) of (T9, T8, T6, T4 and T1) at a concentration of 1×10-4 M, at a temperature 45°C for 240 min. A study was also performed regarding the impact of temperature on the corrosion rate in the presence and absence of triazole. The activation energy and Kinetic parameters were calculated and discussed. Polarization curves revealed that the studied inhibitors represent a mixed – type inhibitors. Adsorption of inhibitors was found to obey Langmuir isotherm and was isotherm physisorption type.

Published: November 2019

Ten new quinoline-carboxamides have been synthesized using the coupling reaction between  2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid as a substrate and five different amino ester at room temperature with basic media (triethylamine). The products were obtained with a good yield ranging from 60 to 80 % and were structurally characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The antibacterial activities of the synthesized compounds have been evaluated against 9 strains of bacteria and compared to references (erythromycin, ofloxacin, ticarcillin, oxacillin, ampicillin, norfloxacin, ceftazidim, cefotaxim). The results showed that the majority of carboxamides-quinoline ester groups present a larger inhibition diameters than those of the antibiotics references. The highest antibacterial activity in vitro against the Enterococcus feacalis has been revealed for compound 1a (methyl 2-oxo-1.2-dihydroquinoline-4-yl-L-alaninate).
In what ways can an age-friendly approach to co-production transfer power to participants? Translating ideology into practice
Authors: Goulding Anna
Published: November 2019

This article contributes to conversations about co-production by examining a voluntary sector organisation’s programme of work aiming to help develop age-friendly places. Using perspectives from older people and voluntary sector professionals involved in the project at both a
strategic management and local level, this study examines two key issues. First, it develops understandings of co-production by examining the precise ways in which rhetoric is reflected in practice with a project operating across a number of age-friendly domains and working with different
sectors. Specifically, it examines the tensions involved in transferring power to community actors, yet managing the process to ensure older people are supported in developing projects that involve and are representative of their wider population. Second, in assessing the role of the voluntary
sector in negotiating cross-sector partnerships, it contributes to debates around the role of the voluntary sector in service delivery during reduced public spending.

Published: November 2019

OBJECTIVES:

Sessile serrated adenoma/polyps (SSA/Ps) contribute up to 30% of all colon cancers. There is considerable histological overlap between SSA/Ps and hyperplastic polyps. Inadequate consensus exists among pathologists, and no molecular biomarkers exist to differentiate these lesions with high accuracy. Lack of reliable diagnosis adversely affects clinical care. We previously defined a novel 7-gene panel by RNA sequencing that differentiates SSA/Ps from hyperplastic polyps. Here, we use the 7-gene panel as a molecular approach to differentiate SSA/Ps and HPs with higher sensitivity and specificity in a large sample set from a tertiary health care center.

METHODS:

Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction of the 7-gene panel was performed on 223 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded serrated polyp and normal colon samples. We compare the sensitivity and specificity of the 7-gene panel with the BRAF and KRAS mutation incidence in differentiating SSA/Ps and HPs. We also evaluate the clinical data of patients with SSA/Ps showing high and low expression of the gene panel.

RESULTS:

The 7-gene RNA expression panel differentiates SSA/Ps and HPs with 89.2% sensitivity and 88.4% specificity. The gene panel outperforms BRAF mutation in identification of SSA/Ps. Clinical data suggest that expression of the 7-gene panel correlates with the development of SSA/Ps in the future.

DISCUSSION:

This study describes a novel 7-gene panel that identifies SSA/Ps with improved accuracy. Our data show that RNA markers of SSA/Ps advance the distinction of serrated lesions and contribute to the study of the serrated pathway to colon cancer.

Electrical and Structural properties of Copper Oxide (CuO) thin films on Plastic substrate deposited by spray pyrolysis technique
Authors: Faraj Mohammad G. , Kaka Askander K. , Omar Halo D.
Published: November 2019

In this paper, copper oxide (CuO) thin films were deposited on polyimide (PI) Plastic substrates with spray pyrolysis technique with different temperatures (i.e. 250–300 °C). All the deposited films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Hall Effect measurements for the Structural and electrical properties. Effects of substrate temperature on the structural and electrical characteristics of the films were studied. The X-ray diffraction patterns’ results reveal that the all of CuO films have a face centered cubic structure. The crystallite grain size was calculated using Scherrer formula and it is found that the substrate temperature (300 0C) has maximum crystallite grain size (81.2 nm). Hall Effect measurements showed that all the films are of p-type conductivity. Depending on the substrate temperature, Hall measurement showed that the electrical resistivity and the carrier concentration varied in the range 77.4 Ω.cm to 52.7 Ω.cm and  6.3 x1015 cm-3 to  10.1 x1015 cm-3.
Combined XRD-paramagnetic 13C NMR spectroscopy of 1,2,3-triazoles for revealing copper traces in a Huisgen click-chemistry cycloaddition. A model case
Authors: Canseco-González Daniel , O José Luis Rodríguez de la , Herbert-Pucheta José Enrique
Published: November 2019

Copper-catalyzed Alkyne-Azide Cycloaddition (CuAAC) click chemistry robustness has been demonstrated over recent years to produce 1,2,3-triazoles with excellent yields at mild conditions with simple purification methods. However, the consequences of having copper paramagnetic traces in final products, which complicate spectroscopic assignments and can produce inaccurate conclusions, has been scarcely discussed. Herein we present a strategy that combines X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) with 13C- paramagnetic Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, in order to demonstrate the presence of paramagnetic metal traces at standard Huisgen synthesis and purification conditions. We also demonstrate that the derivatization of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles to produce 1,3,4,-trisubstituted-1,2,3.triazolium salts, promotes an efficient removal of Cu(II/I) moieties. Evidence of paramagnetic metal moieties is given using XRD structural analysis of abnormalities in torsional angles between substituents and the 1,2,3-triazole center, in parallel to 13C- paramagnetic NMR chemical shift and line width analysis. As model systems to demonstrate the importance of characterizing paramagnetic traces, we present the synthesis of novel 1-((3s,5s,7s)-adamantan-1-yl)-4-cyclopropyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole and its derivatized 1-((3s,5s,7s)-adamantan-1-yl)-4-cyclopropyl-3-methyl-1H-[1,2,3]-triazol-3-ium triflate salt.
Effect of Catalyst (de)activation on Reagent Diffusion in ZSM-5/alumina Extruded Pellet for the Methanol-to-hydrocarbons Conversion
Authors: Zhokh Alexey A.
Published: November 2019

A pelletized ZSM-5/alumina catalyst was prepared by the extrusion technique. The catalyst was activated by ion-exchange with NH4NO3 aqueous solution. The activated catalyst was trained in the methanol-to-hydrocarbons reaction which caused the catalyst deactivation due to coke deposition (6.5 % wt.). Coke deposition resulted in a two-time decrease in the micropore volume. The methane, benzene, and methanol transport through ZSM-5/alumina pellet were consequently studied prior to activation, after activation, and after catalyst deactivation. A slight decrease in the diffusion rate after catalyst activation is observed. After deactivation, the diffusion rate increases insignificantly. The diffusion regime remains unchanged with respect to either activation or deactivation procedure. Contrary, for the methanol, the diffusion rate through a deactivated catalyst pellet remarkably increases due to micropore blockage by coke deposition. The obtained results reveal that the micropores blockage during the catalyst deactivation enhances the methanol mass transfer.

Published: November 2019

Suppose that Γ is a graph of order n and A(Γ) = [ai,j] is its adjacency matrix such that ai,j is equal to 1 if vi is adjacent to vj and ai,j is zero otherwise, where 1 ≤ i, j ≤ n. In a family of graphs, a graph is called minimizing if the least eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix is minimum in the set of the least eigenvalues of all the graphs. Petrović et al. [On the least eigenvalue of cacti, Linear Algebra Appl., 2011, 435, 2357-2364] characterized a minimizing graph in the family of all cacti such that the complement of this minimizing graph is disconnected. In this paper, we characterize the minimizing graphs G ∈
$\begin{array}{}
{\it\Omega}^c_n
\end{array}$, i.e.

$$\begin{array}{}
\displaystyle
\lambda_{min}(G)\leq\lambda_{min}(C^c)
\end{array}$$

for each Cc ∈
$\begin{array}{}
{\it\Omega}^c_n
\end{array}$, where
$\begin{array}{}
{\it\Omega}^c_n
\end{array}$ is a collection of connected graphs such that the complement of each graph of order n is a cactus with the condition that either its each block is only an edge or it has at least one block which is an edge and at least one block which is a cycle.

The notion of MBJ-neutrosophic ideal is introduced, and its properties are investigated. Conditions for an MBJ-neutrosophic set to be an MBJ-neutrosophic ideal are provided. In a BCK/BCI-algebra, a condition for an MBJ-neutrosophic set to be an MBJ-neutrosophic ideal is given. In a BCK-algebra, a condition for an MBJ-neutrosophic subalgebra to be an MBJ-neutrosophic ideal is given. In a BCI-algebra, conditions for an MBJ-neutrosophic ideal to be an MBJ-neutrosophic subalgebra are considered. In an (S)-BCK-algebra, we show that every MBJ-neutrosophic ideal is an MBJ-neutrosophic ∘-subalgebra, and a characterization of an MBJ-neutrosophic ideal is established.
Die Apologien – Zur Prägekraft einer christlichen Gebetsform für die mittelalterliche Religiosität
Authors: Eck Sebastian
Published: November 2019

The term ‘apologies’ describes prayers offered by Christians during Mass to express their sinfulness and unworthiness. In liturgical scholarship, these prayers have usually been regarded as early medieval priestly prayers, and it has been argued that they largely vanished after their peak of importance in the 11th century Order of Mass. In my article, I show that these prayers did not disappear but are transmitted in late medieval private prayer books. In light of this transmission, I propose to conjoin scholarly perspectives from liturgical studies and cultural history in order to understand apologies as expressions of devotional individuation.

Israel’s Foreign Aid to Africa & UN Voting: An Empirical Examination
Authors: Lutmar Carmela , Mandler Leah
Published: November 2019

According to International Relations scholarship, the main formal motivation for foreign aid is usually the unexpressed expectation for improvement of bilateral relations and overall international support. There is an anticipation that aid recipients will not “forget” their donors on the international stage, in particularly during important sessions at the UNGA. We test this assertion empirically on the case of Israeli foreign aid to African countries, using data on Israeli Official Development Aid provisions between 1997 and 2014, and data on voting patterns of aid recipients in the UN General Assembly (UNGA). Our results testify that Israeli bilateral humanitarian foreign aid not only has not provided its expected diplomatic revenues, but may perhaps even hindered African states’ support in the UN. Concomitantly, our results testify that Israeli Official Development Aid (ODA) does not have the anticipated long term effects on international support towards Israel, but instead only a short-lived influence. The results are informative about the usefulness of foreign aid as a diplomatic tool, with important policy implications for decision makers in Israel and worldwide.
Portuguese compounds
Authors: Rio-Torto Graça , Ribeiro Sílvia
Published: November 2019

This article presents an overview of compounding in contemporary Portuguese. Conceived as a plurilexematic unit used as a holistic denomination, a compound is characterized by lexical atomicity. The continuum of compound classes that we propose is based on the morpho-lexical nature of the internal units (root, word) and on the (non)conformity of compound constructions with Portuguese syntactic templates. Since Portuguese compounds constitute a heterogeneous and borderline class, this analysis also focuses on the boundaries of compoundhood, namely those existing between compounds and noun phrases. This article also concentrates on the internal grammatical (coordinative, subordinative, attributive) and thematic relations and analyses Portuguese compounds with respect to headedness in its morphological, semantic and categorial dimensions. Finally, we stress the existence of a narrow relationship between internal constituency, headedness and inflectional patterns of Portuguese compounds.
The structure of metrical patterns in tunes and in literary verse. Evidence from discrepancies between musical and linguistic rhythm in Italian songs
Authors: Proto Teresa , Dell François
Published: November 2019

A first exploration of acceptable and unacceptable discrepancies between linguistic and musical rhythm in Italian songs has uncovered two kinds of discrepancies which do not have counterparts in literary verse: durational discrepancies between adjacent syllables and stress-beat misalignments that involve nonadjacent syllables. The latter type is explored in greater detail than the former. Our survey suggests that analogous misalignments are in principle impossible in literary verse composed in accentual or accentual-syllabic meters, because, on the one hand, the abstract metrical templates that characterize such meters are not anchored in measured time, and, on the other hand, they do not recognize more than two degrees of metrical prominence.
Object clitics, agreement and dialectal variation
Authors: Ormazabal Javier , Romero Juan
Published: November 2019

This article presents an analysis of object clitics in Spanish and some of its consequences for the theory of agreement and Case. On the empirical side, we present syntactic, morphological and semantic arguments supporting a mixed approach to object clitics where 3rd person Direct Object (DO) cliticization constitutes a genuine case of Determiner movement, but other DO and Indirect Object (IO) clitics are agreement elements. Once third person object clitics are set aside, the emerging picture is a single agreement that does not discriminate between DOs and IOs in the syntax. This idea finds striking support in Basque Leísta Dialect, where there is a 3rd person DO agreement clitic that behaves in all relevant respects like all other agreement clitics. Moreover, the consequences of this analysis extend to other properties of the object relation in Spanish, such as Differential Object Marking (DOM), and dialectal variation in the clitic field. An interesting observation that arises from this study is that the agreement nature of 1st and 2nd person clitics and the whole series of IOs is extremely robust in Spanish and remains invariable across all the dialects analyzed. Variation is thus restricted to 3rd person DO objects, where in contrast the changes are diverse and take very different directions, a fact that raises interesting questions related both to the historical evolution of the clitic system and to the theoretical analysis of Case and agreement.

Published: November 2019

Introduction: There is no agreement on how the hands are positioned in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In this study, the effects of two methods of positioning the hands during basic and advanced cardiovascular life support on the chest compression depth are compared.
 Methods: In this observational simulation, the samples included 62 nursing students and emergency medicine students trained in CPR. Each student performed two interventions in both basic and advanced situations on manikins and two positions of dominant hand on non-dominant hand, and vice versa, within four weeks. At each compression, the chest compression depth was numerically expressed in centimeter. Each student was assessed individually and without feedback.
 Results: The highest mean chest compression depth was related to Basic Cardiovascular Life Support (BCLS) and the position of the dominant hand on non-dominant hand (5.50 ± 0.6) and (P = 0.04). There was no statistically significant difference in the basic and advanced regression variables in men and women except in the case of Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) with dominant hand on non-dominant hand (P = 0.018). There was no significant difference in mean chest compression during basic and advanced cardiovascular life support in left- and right-handed individuals (P = 0.09).
 Conclusion: When the dominant hand is on the non-dominant hand, more pressure with greater depth is applied.

Published: November 2019

Introduction: The advent of multi-slice computed tomography (CT) technology has provided a new promising tool for non-invasive assessment of the coronary arteries. However, as the prognostic outcome of patients with normal or non-significant finding on computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) is not well-known, this study was aimed to determine the prognostic value of CTCA in patients with either normal or non-significant CTCA findings.|
 Methods: This retrospective cohort study was performed on patients who were referred for CTCA to the hospital. 527 patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), who had undergone CTCA within one year were enrolled. Among them, data of 465 patients who had normal (no stenosis, n=362) or non-significant CTCA findings (stenosis <50% of luminal narrowing, n=103) were analyzed and prevalence of cardiac risk factors and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were compared between these groups. In addition, a correlation between these factors and the number of involved coronary arteries was also determined.
 Results: After a mean follow-up duration of 13.11±4.63 months, all cases were alive except for three patients who died by non-cardiac events. Prevalence of MACE was 0% and 3% in normal CTCA group and non-significant groups, respectively. There was no correlation found between the number of involved coronary arteries and the prevalence of MACE (P = 0.57).
 Conclusion: A normal CTCA could be associated with extremely low risk of MACE over the first year after the initial imaging, whereas non-significant obstruction in coronary arteries may be associated with a slightly higher risk of MACE.

Human rhinovirus is a causative agent of severe exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is characterised by an increased number of alveolar macrophages with diminished phagocytic functions, but how rhinovirus infection affects macrophage function is still unknown. Here, we describe that human rhinovirus 16 impairs bacterial uptake and receptor‐mediated phagocytosis in macrophages. The stalled phagocytic cups contain accumulated F‐actin. Interestingly, we find that human rhinovirus 16 downregulates the expression of Arpin, a negative regulator of the Arp2/3 complex. Importantly, re‐expression of the protein rescues defective internalisation in human rhinovirus 16‐treated cells, demonstrating that Arpin is a key factor targeted to impair phagocytosis. We further show that Arpin is required for efficient uptake of multiple targets, for F‐actin cup formation and for successful phagosome completion in macrophages. Interestingly, Arpin is recruited to sites of membrane extension and phagosome closure. Thus, we identify Arpin as a central actin regulator during phagocytosis that it is targeted by human rhinovirus 16, allowing the virus to perturb bacterial internalisation and phagocytosis in macrophages.

Selection of bacteria in yoghurt fermentation is important to produce yoghurt with good quality. Tempoyak lactic acid bacteria is potential to be yoghurt starter culture becouse tempoyak fermentation has similarities in producing lactic acid such as yoghurt. This study aimed to isolate and identify the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from tempoyak which will be used as a yoghurt starter culture. The methods used in this study included isolation and selection of acid-producing bacteria, lactase and protease activity test, identification of morphology and biochemistry as well as testing the quality of the yoghurt. The results of the study obtained 32 isolates of the LAB with the same characteristic colony, include the round shape, cream-coloured with convex elevation and, smooth surface and entire edge. Selection of acid-producing bacteria obtained 12 isolates with the ability to produce clear zones on MRSA + CaCO3 media ≥ 0.7 cm. Selection of lactase-producing LAB obtained six strains and the protease test obtained two superior strains. Two superior strains namely Tp 12 and Tp 28 have characteristics of coccus, gram-positive, negative catalase, non-endospore and non-motile forms. The organoleptic and several quality tests showed yoghurt using Tp 12 as starter has higher acceptability, the highest levels of lactic acid and lactose levels with values respectively 4.25, 0.84% and 24.53%. This study obtained the LAB strain which can be used as yoghurt starter culture. Tp 12 strain can be used to improve the quality of yoghurt and become a commercial starter that can be applied to various fermented products.
