Balancing Extrasynaptic Excitation and Synaptic Inhibition within Olfactory Bulb Glomeruli
Authors: Gire David H. , Zak Joseph D. , Bourne Jennifer N. , Goodson Noah B. , Schoppa Nathan E.
Published: July 2019

Glutamatergic transmission in the brain typically occurs at well-defined synaptic connections, but increasing evidence indicates that neural excitation can also occur through activation of “extrasynaptic” glutamate receptors. Here, we investigated the underlying mechanisms and functional properties of extrasynaptic signals that are part of a feedforward path of information flow in the olfactory bulb. This pathway involves glutamatergic interneurons, external tufted cells (eTCs), that are excited by olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and in turn excite output mitral cells (MCs) extrasynaptically. Using pair-cell and triple-cell recordings in rat bulb slices (of either sex), combined with ultrastructural approaches, we first present evidence that eTC-to-MC signaling results from “spillover” of glutamate released at eTC synapses onto GABAergic periglomerular (PG) cells in glomeruli. Thus, feedforward excitation is an indirect result of and must cooccur with activation of inhibitory circuitry. Next, to examine the dynamics of the competing signals, we assayed the relationship between the number of spikes in eTCs and excitation of MCs or PG cells in pair-cell recordings. This showed that extrasynaptic excitation in MCs is very weak due to single spikes but rises sharply and supralinearly with increasing spikes, differing from sublinear behavior for synaptic excitation of PG cells. Similar dynamics leading to a preference for extrasynaptic excitation were also observed during recordings of extrasynaptic and inhibitory currents in response to OSN input of increasing magnitude. The observed alterations in the balance between extrasynaptic excitation and inhibition in glomeruli with stimulus strength could underlie an intraglomerular mechanism for olfactory contrast enhancement.

Authors: Madjid M. Adnan , Widodo Widodo , Samudro Eko G.
Published: July 2019

This study discusses the policy implementation by Indonesia regarding the sinking of illegal fishing vessels towards Indonesia's bilateral relations with Malaysia, especially those that occurred in Tarakan and Nunukan. Many losses from illegal fishing by neighboring countries made the President of Indonesia, through the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, took a firm stance regarding the rules of ship sinking to the accused ships that have been proven doing illegal fishing in the Indonesian sea. The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries together with relevant agencies helped implement the policy which had an impact on the relationship between Indonesia and Malaysia. In this case, Malaysia is still in third place after Vietnam and the Philippines in the data on the number of vessels destroyed by the Indonesia. Malaysia is also the country with the fifth largest fish commodity production in Southeast Asia whereas fish consumption in Malaysia is ranked first in the region. Thus, the country faces obstacles in fulfilling the need for fish faced with Indonesian policies in addressing illegal fishing arrests by foreign countries. By qualitative methods, this research reveals the background of the existence and implementation of policies for the sinking of illegal fishing vessels and the impact of these policies on the Malaysian state. International system pressure, state power and other theories were used to help carry out this research. As a result, this study provides an overview of the relationship between Indonesia and Malaysia after the enactment of the policy. First, the Malaysian increase their fish trade and sea safeguard with Indonesia, both in the designated sea area and the gray area. Second, the government of Malaysia adopted the sinking ships method due to its mechanism that is considered effective and efficient in creating detterence effect. Third, both countries agreed to release poor or small fishermen who carry out IUU Fishing made between the President of Indonesia and the Prime Minister of Malaysia.
Stability of a mathematical model of tumour-induced angiogenesis
Authors: Li Dan , Ma Wanbiao , Guo Songbai
Published: July 2019

A model consisting of three differential equations to simulate the interactions between cancer cells, the angiogenic factors and endothelial progenitor cells in tumor growth is developed. Firstly, the global existence, nonnegativity and boundedness of the solutions are discussed. Secondly, by analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of three boundary equilibria and the angiogenesis equilibrium of the model is discussed, respectively. We further consider global asymptotic stability of the boundary equilibria and the angiogenesis equilibrium by using the well-known Liapunov–LaSalle invariance principal. Finally, some numerical simulations are given to support the theoretical results.
A generic method to construct new customized-shaped haotic systems using the relative motion concept
Authors: Curiac Daniel-Ioan , Volosencu Constantin
Published: July 2019

Constructing chaotic systems tailored for each particular real-world application has been a long-term research desideratum. We report a solution for this problem based on the concept of relative motion. We investigate the periodic motion on a closed contour of a coordinate frame in which a chaotic system evolves. By combining these two motions (periodic on a close contour and chaotic) new customized shape trajectories are acquired. We demonstrate that these trajectories obtained in the stationary frame are also chaotic and, moreover, conserve the Lyapunov exponents of the initial chaotic system. Based on this finding we developed an innovative method to construct new chaotic systems with customized shapes, thus fulfilling the requirements of any particular application of chaos.

Kinetics of mass transfer during osmotic dehydration of auyama (Caribbean pumpkin) in ternary solutions
Authors: Rodriguez Manrique Jhonatan Andres , Torregroza Espinosa Angélica Maria , Salgado Ordosgoitia Rodrigo Daniel
Published: July 2019

The aim of this study was to address the modeling of aspects such as weight reduction (WR), solid gain (SG) and weight-loss (WL) in Caribbean pumpkin samples osmotically dehydrated in ternary solutions. For this purpose, osmotic dehydration was carried out using two ternary solutions: stevia-salt-water (S1) and glucose-salt-water (S2) at different concentrations (20%, 30% and 40% w/w), and processing times of 40 min, 80 min, 120 min, and 160 min. Also, the diffusion coefficient was determined and the analysis of variance with orthogonal polynomials was performed to find the best treatment for dehydration of auyama samples (p≤0.05). The results suggest that the solution constituted by stevia-salt-water, allows greater reduction of weight and gain of solids when a concentration of 40% is used at a time of 78.12min until reaching a humidity percentage of 60.06%. Similarly, the values of the diffusion coefficient for this solution ratify that the increase in concentration generates less resistance to mass transfer.

Published: July 2019

Guacamole is a very desired product in the world market. This research aims to develop a formulation of guacamole prepared with avocado powder (AP), fresh avocado (FA) and spices as main ingredients, using response surface methodology. The independent variables were: dry solids of guacamole (DSG) (20.2 - 30.3%), dry solids contributed by FA in the guacamole (DSFA) (0 - 50%), and lime color (0 -0.03%).Dependent variables were: moisture (Xw), pH, acidity, peroxide index (PI), viscosity (η), zeta potential (ζ) and color (CIE-L*a*b*). The best formulation was obtained by multiple optimization: DSG (20.9%), DSFA (28.9%) and lime color (0.029%), and its properties were:Xw (78.3%), pH (5.1), acidity (0.4%), PI (0.787 meq H2O2/kg), η (2952.2 cP), ζ (27.0 mV) and color (L*: 51.0, a*: -5.8, b*: 31.2). The AP is a raw material with industrial potential, which facilitates the production system of guacamole and its control.
Further experimental evidence that condensation is a major cause of airflow
Authors: Bunyard Peter Paul , Hodnett Martin , Peña Carlos , Burgos-Salcedo Javier D.
Published: July 2019

This paper further explores the physics of water condensation, using an experimental structure designed for that purpose. The data show a highly significant correlation (R2 >0.94, p value <0.001) between observed airflows and partial pressure changes from condensation, when the results of different experiments are pooled. Changes in air density on cooling provide insufficient energy to account for the airflow. The finding is that the kinetic energy of the chilled air falls short by an order of magnitude, even to move a relatively small proportion of the 20 kg of air contained within the structure. Meanwhile the physics of condensation indicate a surplus of kinetic energy is made available from the air surrounding the locus of condensation. At low rates of condensation a considerable proportion of the available kinetic energy in the enclosed air is absorbed in friction and turbulence. That proportion reduces with higher rates of condensation.
Experimental evaluation of vibration based damage identification techniques on a pedestrian bridge
Authors: Panesso Libreros Angélica María , Marulanda Johannio , Thomson Peter
Published: July 2019

Failures of civil structures, such as bridges, due to natural events or anthropic loads can generate significant social and economic impacts. As an alternative for the identification of damage in these structures, dynamic structural health monitoring has been proposed. This paper presents the experimental evaluation of three damage identification techniques on a full-scale footbridge. One of the evaluated techniques is based on damage localization vectors; a second technique is based on changes in the curvature of the modal shapes, while the third technique uses a numerical model and artificial neural networks for locating the damaged section. Five scenarios of controlled damage were induced in the footbridge. Output-only ambient vibration tests were performed at each damage state and the results of the identification techniques were analyzed. The three implemented techniques showed promising results for the numerical simulations, and two of these techniques produced satisfactory results in the experimental evaluation.

Authors: Benitez Campo Neyla , Peña Salamarca Enrique Javier
Published: July 2019

Various solutions that have been proposed to address the contamination problem of leather tanning wastewater at El Cerrito (Valle del Cauca, Colombia), have generated conflicts between stakeholders. Therefore, with the purpose of selecting a sustainable alternative for the reduction of chromium present in liquid effluents of the local tanning sector, the Social Multi-Criteria Evaluation (SMCE) method was used to analyze three proposed treatment options. These consisted of a physicochemical treatment based on MgO precipitation and acid re-dissolution, a biotechnological treatment with native yeasts coupled to Cleaner Production (CP) and a non-treatment option. During the evaluation, the social, economic, environmental and technical criteria considered, allowed for the selection of the biotechnology alternative, as the treatment option with the highest sustainability. The physicochemical alternative demonstrated a low acceptance while the non-treatment option proved unfeasible, by affecting the natural environment and social component and was favored only by the economic criterion

Published: July 2019

The Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are delimited geographic areas located within the borders of a country with the objective of impulsing the local economy of a specific region. The SEZs have multiple labor and fiscal benefits that allow them to enhance the economic level of the region through the generation of quality jobs, export growth, government investment, and technology transfer, just to name a few. China and other countries have demonstrated the benefits of SEZs and the economic impact on the local region. The goal of this article proposes a methodology based on Integer Linear Programming to generate SEZs where the population of the region, the distance and travel time between municipalities, the infrastructure of the region, and the Federal Laws imposed by the governments are considered. Experimental results based on real instances of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, México, validate the method and enable a graphical visualization of the solution.

Authors: Francelino Nicácio Rayza Mirelle , Neves dos Santos João Alberto , Pereira Soares Carlos Alberto , Da Silveira e Silva Wainer
Published: July 2019

InBrazil, family construction companies provide a significant share of goods and services in the construction industry. To protect themselves against fraud, crises and problems inherent to family organizations, these corporations need to implement at least basic corporate governance recommendations. This study evaluates the practices suggested by the Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance (IBGC) based on a survey of 33 organizations. Our results indicate that construction companies in the country start their governance models by standardizing and professionalizing their business; however, they only start considering the family influence in later stages. The average scores obtained for the recommendations investigated suggest poor implementation of corporate governance practices in Brazilian family construction companies.

Hadith Selection Methods in the Study of Sirah Nabawiyyah (An Analysis of Shahih Sirah Nabawiyyah by Akram Dhiya al-‘Umari)
Authors: Dani Acep
Published: July 2019

The Shahih Sirah Nabawiyyah by Akram Dhiya al‘Umari is one of the contemporary books of sirah. This research aims to find out the methods of selecting hadiths in sirah nabawiyyah according to Akram Dhiya al-‘Umari. The research is based on the accepted principle of hadith studies that hadith used as hujjah is authentic (shahih) hadiths. If there is no authentic hadith, weak (dhaif) hadiths can be used as long as it is not related to the issues of beliefs (aqeedah) and law. This research concludes that the hadith selection method in sirah nabawiyyah used by Akram Dhiya al-‘Umari is the method of hadith scholars which is flexible in treating the weak hadiths. In sirah nabawiyyah, al-’Umari still prioritizes the authentic hadith as the main source. If the authentic hadith about an issue is not found, the weak hadith can be used. However, it shall be noted that the hadith should not be related to the issues of beliefs (aqeedah) and law.

Published: July 2019

It is undeniable fact that waqf becomes as one of tools used in order to alleviate inequality among people especially Muslim community. Basically, waqf fund is raised from the public and managed by mutawalli under waqf institution. As the intermediate party between waqif and beneficiaries, waqf institution is accountable for the management of waqf funds and need to disclose sufficient information pertaining to waqf fund itself. Good disclosure practices by waqf institution should cover both financial and non-financial information for all related waqf activities, programs and projects conducted. This includes such as corporate information, strategic information, financial performance information, financial statement information and non-financial performance information. To examine such disclosure practices, intensive content analysis was employed on waqf reporting information which is waqf annual report from three selected awqaf institutions namely, Perbadanan Wakaf Selangor (PWS), Pusat Wakaf MAIWP Sdn Bhd (PWM) and Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS). The results revealed that financial statement information was the highest disclosure practice by selected awqaf institutions when it scores 100% (385 out of 385 items), followed closely by strategic information 68.9% (62 out of 90 items), financial performance information 66.7% (80 out of 120 items), corporate information 61.7% (74 out of 120 items) and finally by non-financial performance information 37.5% (45 out of 120 items). Besides, several interesting and advanced disclosure practice by MUIS also highlighted and discussed as a benchmark for other awqaf institutions to disclose their waqf activities, programs and projects in the future.

The Jurisprudence Hadith Analysis of Bribery and It's Impact on Human Life
Authors: Nuryamin Nuryamin
Published: July 2019

This article discusses the concept of bribery in the perspective of hadith jurisprudence and its impact on human life. By looking at some definitions of bribery, it is found that all definitions give different meanings, goals, and aspects, there are essence of bribery, or which have similarities to them (such as gratification), because bribery is a social phenomenon and has many patterns making it difficult to define definitions the right and limit the meaning. But a definition that explains the meaning of bribery objectively, namely: Giving given to someone (an official) so that the right becomes wrong and wrong becomes right, because it summarizes the essence of bribery practice and is considered a comprehensive definition of all banned aspects of bribery, so let us choose this. In Qur’ān and Ḥadīth, Allah forbade his servant to eat bribery property, because this property was included as part of consuming other people's assets with vanity. Even though bribery is called a variety of terms in daily life, such as facilitation payments, tips, etc., the legal status and prohibition cannot change with these various terms. Bribes also have the potential to create hate conflicts and hostility among members of the community. Because in essence, bribery is only a tool for those who hold policies to oppress the weak. On the other hand, those who surrendered their wealth to the recipients of this bribe gave their assets very forcefully.
The Concept of Al-Qur’an and Islamic Law in Educating Wife and The Solution for Dispute Settlement in Household Violence
Authors: Idrus Alawi Asep Habib
Published: July 2019

The obligation to give a lesson to the wife is if he starts disobeying and shows nusyuz to his husband. So the husband is obliged to provide lessons, but giving the lesson is carried out in sequence, the first husband must give a warning to the wife gently and subtly like reminding him to fear Allah Almighty, if the wife is obedient again, then just enough there. If it still remains disobedient, then leave the wife alone, leaving her on the bed, not collecting it, especially when her lust peaks. If he is obedient, then it is enough to get there and gather the wife as before. But if it remains, the wife may be 'beaten' with a note not too loud and not injured.
Life Long Education in Islamic Perspective

Published: July 2019

John Dewey's one main character philosophic Pragmatism States that: the Educational process has no end beyond itself in its own end. The term statement of the concept of lifelong education began in the Western philosophic pragmatism developed there. The concept of lifelong education believes that education is not only limited to education at the school but continued up to the end of life. The concept of lifelong education appears along with the emergence of some of the challenges in the world of education as presented by Paul Lengard of which include: the rate of change, demographic expansion, innovation in science and technology, the challenge of politics, information and crisis in the pattern of life. The concept of education is apparently emerging from some Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad that encourages humans to continue to study until the end of his life. This paper tries to expose the concept of lifelong education according to the Islamic education.

This article discusses the thoughts of Islamic law Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia. Using a literature study, this article finds a narrative that Islamic legal thinking Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia refers to an-Nabhani's view which is textual and becomes the domain of debate among scholars. For textualists, Islamic law that must be enforced is of course a fixed duty, through the establishment of the Islamic State. While for some people who understand Islam in contextual terms, Islamic Shari'a or even Islamic Fiqh is not necessarily called sharia. Because the most important thing is the substance of the Shari'a itself.

Published: July 2019

The schools of kalam basically arose due to the murder of Caliph Usman bin Affan which ended in the rejection of Mu'awiyah over the caliph Ali bin Abi Talib. The tension between the two continued into the war known as the Siffin war, and that was the beginning of the emergence of the science of kalam. The first stream was the Khawarij sect and was followed by Syi'ah who emerged as a faithful defender of the Caliph Ali bin Abi Talib and Murji'ah who came up with a reaction to the thoughts of the Khawarij. Focusing on the discussion, reason and revelation are always discussed endlessly even though these two streams are like water and oil which cannot be united with the intention that there is always conflict between the two in the aspects of thought and legal products produced by both. In the opinion of the Ashʿarite School of reason and revelation can not be separated but have their own work but the revelation is more important than the mind. The intellect can not define one obligation that can determine one obligation is a revelation. God has many properties such as ‘ilmu, basar, qudrat, hayat and other properties. And what must be known to those who are back and minded Muslims are twenty compulsory properties, twenty traits that are impossible and one must. In short, God has the character. Faith is instituted in the heart, pledged verbally, and accompanied by charity. While disbelievers are doubters in the presence of Allah, doubt on the Messenger, doubts about the Judgment, heaven and others. All the mere deeds of God do not create anything except God, but God has no law made all the way. The act of disbelief is indignant, though how the infidels want good deeds but he is still doing bad deeds. The act of Islam is good, but it is difficult, however, that a believer wants a divorce is not difficult, so a believer can not create it, in short all acts created by Allah Praise be unto Thee the Almighty.

The implementation of Act No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower is intriguing to discuss since companies often violate and are apathetic in the right to act for employees' religious beliefs. The limited facilities of worship in the workplace also represents the commitment engagement of the company towards promulgated regulations which is still not implemented.The purpose of this study is to provide the more specified description and understanding towards the religiosity and implementation of Act No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower concerning The Rights to Perform Religious Obligations for Laborers. This study, which focuses on the religiosity of this worker class, took two different places, namely in Bekasi Regency and Subang Regency.This study uses qualitative methods which enables to reveal the actual circumstances. More specifically, qualitative research can be identified by the aim of research that seeks to understand the manifestation that does not require quantification--or because this manifestation is unable to be accurately measured. In relation to the method, the data collecting techniques are as follows: (1) nonparticipant observation and (2) in-depth interviews. While the data analysis starts from (1) data reduction, (2) data presentation, and (3) drawing conclusions.By this study, the authors concluded: (1) companies that have become research object in Bekasi and Subang District have provided worship facilities and infrastructure as regulated in Act N. 13 of 2003 on Manpower in the Respect to Perform Religious Obligations. On the other hand, the workers still look forward some improvements on quality and quantity of worship facilities to emerge conveniences in performing worship; and (2) in general, the religiosity among working class is found at an average level.  In other words, the workers truly believe in God (Allah) with common knowledge about faith. They also perform religious practices as the evidence of the faith itself and as proof of obedience to God. Besides carrying out the orders of religion (worship), the workers also put some expectations on the reward as the way to accomplish the glory on Earth and afterlife. However, the workers realize that the worship carried out would not come to a subjective perspective (their dialogue with supernatural powers, Allah). The workers also attempt to make religion as the basis of all actions as they consider the consequences of the life on Earth for the afterlife.

Wafting incense and heavenly foods
Authors: Arthur Shawn
Published: July 2019

The most notable impressions of religious sites and festivals in China often relate to how smells of burning incense and cooking foods help to create their special atmospheres. This may be because the Chinese word for ‘worship’ includes the order to light incense to the gods. By examining the importance of smells to a Chinese religious experience, this article analyses how scents heighten and shape people’s memories and emotions, as well as helping to foster the ‘hot and lively’ social aspects of China’s temples and religious festivals.
Touching, crafting, knowing
Authors: Whitehead Amy
Published: July 2019

Based on a small ethnographic study at the shrine of the Virgin of Alcala in Andalusia, Spain, this article asserts that 'touch' is not only an intrinsic part of religion, but the principal facilitating medium through which the performances, expressions and relationships with the Virgin, take place. The article uses the relational discourses of animism and the fetish to critically explore the dynamics of touch, focusing primarily on the ways in which powerful religious statues such as the Virgin are creatively forged from raw materials, the gendered ways in which her statue-body is ritually touched, cared for and maintained, and the potentiality of her personhood. Personhood, it is argued, emerges co-creatively between 'persons' (artefact persons and human persons) during moments of active relating that involve touch. It is concluded that 'to fetish' is both to apprehend beloved religious statues with the senses and to be invited into creative religious, relational engagements with so called religious objects. 'To touch' is 'to fetish'.

Authors: Broering Camilla Volpato , Crepaldi Maria Aparecida
Published: July 2019

Este artigo apresenta uma pesquisa que avaliou os efeitos da preparação psicológica pré-cirúrgica sobre o estresse e a ansiedade de crianças submetidas a cirurgias eletivas, utilizando-se de três programas distintos de preparação e um grupo de controle. A pesquisa foi realizada com 80 participantes, divididos em quatro grupos, usuários de um Hospital infantil e utilizou-se a Escala de Stress Infantil (ESI) e o Inventário de Ansiedade Traço-Estado (IDATE-C). Realizaram-se três etapas distintas: a) aplicação da ESI e do IDATE-C antes da preparação, no dia anterior a cirurgia; b) a preparação propriamente dita; e c) a reaplicação da ESI e do IDATE-C, depois da preparação. Os resultados mostraram que há significativa redução do nível de estresse e da ansiedade, embora não tenha havido diferença estatística significativa quanto ao tipo de programa utilizado. Discute-se que há implicações práticas para o atendimento psicológico das crianças em situação pré-cirúrgica e limitações consideradas quando se pesquisa esta área da psicologia. Conclui-se que o preparo psicológico pré-cirúrgico é efetivo, independente da metodologia utilizada. Palavras-chave: preparação psicológica, estresse pré-cirúrgico, ansiedade pré-cirúrgica e cirurgia na infância
