Background Thalassemia is a monogenic disease, yet the clini-cal manifestations (phenotype) are variable although they havethe same genotype. The clear-cut correlation between genotypeand phenotype in β-thalassaemia/HbE patients remains unex-plained. There are several factors that play a role in the severity ofthe clinical manifestations, i.e. two alpha-gene deletion, homozy-gote Xmn1 polymorphism +/+, -+-++, ++-++ haplotype, and hemo-globin Constant Spring.Objective To understand the clinical diversity of patients with HbE/α thalassemia and to determine whether it is possible to predictphenotypic severity from genetic factors.Methods A descriptive study on clinical presentations and hema-tological data of beta-HbE thalassemia patients. DNA analysis wasperformed to detect β-thalassemia mutations and the amelioratingfactors (alpha-globin genes deletions and Xmn1 restriction site poly-morphism at position –158 upstream of the G γ-globin gene) whichwere already known.Results Thirty patients with HbE/β thalassemia (4 to 29 years old)were recruited. IVS1-nt5 (G>C) severe β + mutation was detectedin 20 patients. Eighteen of 20 patients with positive IVS1-nt5 mu-tation group were heterozygous for Xmn1 restriction site polymor-phism and none of the patients was co-inherited with two á-globingene deletion. Almost all patients (19/20) with positive IVS1-nt5mutation group required regular transfusions, yet the mean age atfirst blood transfusion was older in negative IVS1-nt5 mutation groupthan that of positive IVS1-nt5 mutation group (5.7 vs 4 years). Meanhemoglobin before initial transfusion was higher in negative IVS1-nt5 mutation group than that of positive IVS1-nt5 mutation group(5.88 vs 5.39 g/dl). The mean total transfusion per year was lowerin the negative IVS1-nt5 mutation group than that of positive IVS1-nt5 mutation group (190.6 vs 215.1 ml/year).Conclusions Beta-HbE thalassemia patients with identical betathalassemia mutation (IVS1-nt5) show remarkable clinical diver-sity. Neither two alpha-gene deletion, nor the Xmn1- G γ polymor-phism can explain the phenotypic variation. Other amelioratingdeterminants or genetic modifications responsible for the variableclinical severity remain to be explored.

Published: March 2017

Background Anemia in chronic renal failure (CRF) has beenproved to influence the quality of life, increasing morbidity andmortality. Early diagnosis and prompt treatments of anemia aremandatory to manage CRF appopriately. So far data of anemia inCRF in Indonesia is limited.Objective To find out the profile of anemia in children with CRF atCipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (CMH), Jakarta, with special atten-tion in erythrocyte indices and iron deficiency anemia.Methods Cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out onpatients with CRF and anemia in CMH since October 2003 to April2004.Results There were 20 CRF patients, aged between 1 year 3 month-15 year old, mostly were above 10 year old, 11 patients were malesand 9 were females. The most frequent etiologies were urinarytract infection (UTI) in 10 cases and nephrotic syndrome in 6 cases.Of those 20 patients, 14 suffered from anemia with erythrocyteindices, normochrome normocytic in 9 patients and hypochromemicrocytic in 5 patients. Of 14 anemic patients only 1 patient suf-fered from iron deficiency anemia of less than 10 mg/l and transferinsaturation of less than 12%. Based on serum iron (SI) concentra-tion only, 7 patients were diagnosed as having iron deficiency ane-mia.Conclusion Most patients with chronic renal failure havenormochrome normocytic anemia. Hypochromic microcytic irondeficiency anemia is scarcely found in this group of patients.

Published: March 2017

Background Early detection and prompt treatment are manda-tory in managing urinary tract infection (UTI). Failure to early de-tect ion of UTI may result in declining of kidney function. Urineculture is the gold standard to diagnose UTI, but it takes 3-5 daysto obtain the results. The turbidity of urine describes the presenceof bacteria or leukocytes in urine. It is important to determine therelationship between the urine clarity by visual examination andthe absence of bacteriuria.Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of urine clarity by vi-sual examination in diagnosing UTI.Methods We conducted a prospective study in emergency careunit, outpatient department, and children wards of Sardjito Hos-pital, Yogyakarta. The urine specimen was collected from chil-dren under 15 years old by catheterization or midstream urinecollections. Two independent observers evaluated the urine clar-ity by the standard technique. Statistical analysis was assignedto calculate the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative pre-dictive values, and likelihood ratio. Kappa index was used to evalu-ate the agreement between two observers in determining the urineclarity.Results Two-hundred and five children were enrolled in this study.Urine clarity in diagnosing UTI produced sensitivity of 78% (95%CI 69;87), specificity of 84.5% (95% CI 78;91), positive predictivevalue (PPV) of 77.1% (95% CI 68;86), negative predictive value(NPV) of 85.2% (95% CI 79;92), positive likelihood ratio of 5.03(95% CI 3.29;7.76), and negative likelihood ratio of 0.26 (95% CI0.17;0.39).Conclusion Urine clarity is sufficiently accurate as a diagnostictest for UTI. The diagnostic value of urine clarity is expected to beuseful for clinicians to detect UTI earlier and to guide them in mak-ing decision for clinical management.

Published: March 2017

All neonates have a transient rise inbilirubin levels, and about 30-50% ofinfants become visibly jaundiced.1,2Most jaundice is benign; however,because of the potential brain toxicity of bilirubin,newborn infants must be monitored to identifythose who might develop severe hyperbilirubinemiaand, in rare cases, acute bilirubin encephalopathyor kernicterus. Ten percent of term infantsand 25% of near-term infants have significanthyperbilirubinemia and require phototherapy. 3The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)recommends procedures to reduce the incidenceof severe hyperbilirubinemia and bilirubinencephalopathy, and to minimize the risks ofunintended harm such as maternal anxiety,decreased breastfeeding, and unnecessary costsor treatment.4The guidelines provide a framework for theprevention and management of hyperbilirubinemiain newborn infants of 35 weeks or more ofgestational age (term and near-term newborns).This case report details the management of threenewborns of 35 or more gestational age at theSiloam Lippo Cikarang Hospital, Tanggerang, WestJava, Indonesia according to the AAP guidelines.

Background Neonatal asphyxia is a disorder in neonates dueto decreased oxygenation (hypoxia) and decreased perfusion toorgans (ischemia). Duration of asphyxia and early managementinfluence the severity of organ dysfunction, including the heart.Objectives To obtain patterns of cardiac abnormality inneonatal asphyxia in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital withechocardiography. Design A cross-sectional study was performed on 22 asphyxiated neonates and 22 other non-asphyxiated neonates from March to October 2008. Inclusion criteria were term neonates, Apgar score :S 6 in the first minute for asphyxiated neonates and ?. 7 for normal/non-asphyxiated neonate. Echocardiographic examination was performed before the age of 48 hours.Results There were 7/22 asphyxiated neonates and 1/22 nonaxphyxiated neonate with heart disease (P <0.05). The mostcommon cardiac abnormality found in asphyxiated neonates waspatent ductus arteriosus, followed by atrial septal defect, tricuspid regurgitation, and pulmonary hypertension.Conclusion Cardiac abnormality is significantly found more oftenin asphyxiated than in non-asphyxiated neonates.
Urine specific gravity as a diagnostic tool for dehydration in children
Authors: Purwanto Kalis Joko , Juffrie Mohammad , Ismail Djauhar
Published: March 2017

Background Using clinical judgment to diagnose dehydration can be highly subjective. To diagnose dehydration, it would be ideal to have an accurate, inexpensive, objective and easy-to-perform diagnostic tool. In cases of dehydration, plasma osmolality rises, causing an increase in antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion. The increased ADH reduces urine production and increases urine osmolality. Previous studies have show that urine osmolality correlates well to urine specific gravity. We investigated if urine specific gravity can be a reliable and objective detennination of dehydration status.Objective To assess the accuracy of using urine specific gravity as a diagnostic tool to determine dehydration status of children with diarrhea.Methods We conducted the study in the pediatric ward of Sardjito Hospital from September 2009 to December 2009. Using a refractometer we measured urine specific gravity from patients with diarrhea. This measurement was then compared to a standard of acute body weight loss, with dehydration defined as weight loss of 5% or more. The cut-off value for defining dehydration using specific gravity measurements was detennined by a receiver-operator curve (ROC).Results Out of 61 pediatric patients who were recruited in this study, 18 (30%) had dehydration as defined by a body weight loss of 5% or more. Based on the ROC, we determined the cut off  value for urine specific gravity to be 1.022. Using this value, urine specific gravity was 72% sensitive (95% CI 52 to 93), and 84% specific (95% CI 73 to 95) in determining dehydration status.Conclusion Urine specific gravity is less accurate than clinical judgment in determining dehydration status in children with diarrhea.

Published: March 2017

Background Disturbances in bone mineral metabolism and side effects of corticosteroid treatment may cause decreased bone density in patients v.ith nephrotic syndrome (NS).Objectives To compare the prevalence oflow bone mineral density (BMD) in children with and 'Without NS and to assess the effect of corticosteroid treatment on bone density in NS patients. Methods We conducted a retrospective, cohort study in children aged 5-18 years diagnosed 'With NS for more than 2 months prior to data collection, and in children v.ithout NS as a control. BMD was assessed on calcaneal bone wlith ultrasound bone densitometry. Serum calcium, albumin, creatinine and phosphate levels were also assessed.Results The prevalence of low BMD was significantly higher in NS patients than non􀁂NS subjects, 73.3% (22 in 30) vs. 33% (11 in 33), respectively. The prevalence ratio was 6.3 (95% CI 2.1 to 18.9). NS patients had lower serum calcium levels, With mean difference of -0.17 (95% CI -0.27 to -0.07 mMollL), P<0.009, and lower serum albumin, with mean difference of  -0.88 (95% CI -1.27 to -0.49 gIL); P<O.OO 1, than non􀁂NS subjects. After adjusting for other risk factors, we found NS to be an independent risk factor for low BMD. Steroid-resistant and steroid-dependent patients had lower BMD than steroid-sensitive subjects (P=0.02). There was also a significant correlation between the onset of corticosteroid treatment and BMD (r=O.3; P=0.02).Conclusions NS patients had higher risk for low BMD compared to normal subjects. Response to steroid treatment influences the severity of impaired bone density.

Published: March 2017

Background Infantile spasms (IS) is an age-spedfic epilepsy syndrome characterized by flexor, extensor, and mixed flexor-extensor spasms which often occur in clusters during the first 2 years of life. IS is often difficult to manage 'With the usual anti-epilepsy drugs (AEDs). Therapy with adrenocorticotropin honnone (ACTH) has been used since 1958. In Indonesia, ACTH usage is still rare.Objective This study aims to examine the effectiveness of ACTH as an anti-epileptic drug in managing IS.Methods This was descriptive retrospective cohort study. Subjects were IS patients who visited the neurology outpatient clinic in Sanglah Hospital, Bali, from January 2007 until June 2010. Each subject received AED(s) plus either ACTH or methylprednisolone for 4􀁆6 weeks.Results There were 19 IS patients over the four year duration of this study. They were mostly boys (11), aged 2 weeks to 17 months, with a mean age at treatment of 9 months. Eighteen patients received poly therapy, while one patient received only phenobarbital as monotherapy. Most patients who received ACTH (13/16) had a seizure-free period, while the 3 that did not receive ACTH continued having seizures. Patients who received ACTHshowed a good response (seizure-free) after 5-13 days therapy and their EEG pattern showed disappearance of burst suppression Mthin 1-2 weeks. ACTH side effects included weight gain and cushingoid appearance. One patient died from pneumonia.Conclusions Diagnosis of IS should be considered in patients pre-senting Mth spasms at less than 6 months old. IS treatment should begin as soon as possible. IS patients responded well to a short course of ACTH therapy.

Published: March 2017

Background The rapid increase in asthma incidence has implicated the importance of environmental influences over genetic influences. Sensitization to perennial indoor allergens has been associated with increased asthma symptoms.Objective To examine the correlation between sensitization to indoor allergens and frequency of asthma exacerbations in children.Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out on asthmatic children aged 6 to 12 years in the Department of Child Health, Udayana University Medical School /Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar. Degree of sensitization was assessed by mean wheal diameter (positive defined as 3 mm greater than negative control) for seven common indoor allergens. Frequency of asthma exacerbation for three consecutive months prior to data collection was retrospectively reviewed.Results Positive skin test results for one or more allergens were found in 84 of 89 (94%) asthmatic children. Higher frequency of asthma exacerbations weakly correlated with the number of allergens with positive sensitization (r=0.284; P=0.007). Mean wheal diameter of each allergen did not correlate to the frequency of asthma exacerbations. In addition, the frequency of asthma exacerbations was independent for parental and sibling atopic history, preceding respiratory infections, use of asthma controllers and passive environmental tobacco smoke exposure.Conclusions Sensitization to common indoor allergens correlates weakly with frequency of asthma exacerbations.

Background Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease and a public health problem. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared TB to be a global emergency because of currently increasing rates of disease and drug resistance. Two million people die annually because of TB. Children are one of the highest groups at risk for TB infection. An effort to define risk factors is needed for effective intervention.Objective To identify risk factors for positive tuberculin tests in children.Methods This case control study was done in elementary school children aged 8–12 years in areas served by three community health centers in Semarang. Twenty-nine subjects were Mantoux positive and 29 others served as controls. Consecutive sampling was used for all negative Mantoux test results. Pulmonary TB was diagnosed using the TB scoring system, including the Mantoux test. Statistical bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed.Results History of household TB contact as a risk factor for positive tuberculin test in children resulted in an OROR of 3.76 (95% CI 1.059 to 13.342), P=0.040. History of illness at the time of testing resulted in an OR of 10.23 (95% CI 1.138 to 91.930), P=0.038. The probability of positive tuberculin testing was 90.7% if both these variables were positive.Conclusion History of household TB contact and the history of illness at the time of testing were risk factors for positive tuberculin tests in children.

Published: March 2017

The new trade theory shows the interaction between capital intensity, reflects the comparative advantages of a country as well as the industrial structure, and international capital flows. One main proposition stated if a country has high capital intensity in their industrial structure, and changes tends to be capital intensive, foreign capital will flow into the country because the domestic savings position become lower than investment needs. It can explain why international capital flows from developing countries to the developed countries that are relatively rich in capital. This study attempted to examine the consistency and reliability of the theory in the context of Indonesia. The important thing here is the existence of different viewpoints in assessing the phenomenon of the current account balance. The model used is the restricted error correction mechanism in Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ECM-ARDL) approach. The result indicates that both industrial structure and demographic pattern are affecting Indonesian current account significantly. Specifically, capital intensity negatively affects Indonesian current account. This indicates the higher capital intensity, which means the greater tendency to capital-intensive industry structure, leads to higher current account deficit. The analysis also highlights the importance of demographic pattern in determines Indonesian current account through their impact to savings – investment position.

Published: March 2017

This study aimed not only to examine the effect of the objective measure and controllability on subjective performance evaluation but also to prove empirically the halo effect phenomenon which is present in the evaluation process when evaluators are faced with two or more different measurement dimensions. This study used a 2x2 factorial web-based experiment involving 62 undergraduate students and 77 sales managers in the Telecommunications industry. The results reveal the subjective performance evaluation manager is directly influenced by objective measurement based on sales performance. Subjective evaluation of performance evaluator will be high when the objective performance information managers showed a high score and vice versa. The level of controllability affects undergraduate students in conducting subjective performance rating. This evidence suggests that the two subjects of this research using their discretion in conducting the performance appraisal rating. Halo effect is proven to have high correlation with two different dimensions of performance measurement.

In 1966 was the beginning of New Order rezim. There was anyone who cannot argue that Moslem people had played an important role in bearing a new order. It was, therefore, natural that Moslem people have very extremely expected to manage this state with many more. This expectation was just imagination, because Suharto, as a leader of new order, did not give space adequately for them. Suharto exactly runs political of deislmatization systematically, in essential for marginalizing for Moslem people. The process reached the climax in 1985, in where the new order issued regulation setting that Pancasila (the fie basic principles of Republic of Indonesia) as a single principle, so this signed the death of Islam as political ideology in Indonesian history.

The aim of this study is to examine the perceptions of university students towards leisure and perceived freedom in leisure on the basis of different variables. To this end, a total of 250 university students in total, 174 (69%) of whom are males and 78 (31%) of whom are females selected by random sampling have voluntarily attended the research study. The sample of the study consists of students studying at Istanbul University's Faculty of Sports Sciences. The data collection instruments of the study include the personal information form developed by the researcher, as well as the Leisure Meanings Inventory which was developed by Esteve et al. (1999) and adapted into Turkish by Gürbüz et al. (2007) and aims to determine the leisure perceptions of the participants. The Perceived Freedom in Leisure Scale, which was developed by Witt and Ellis (1985) and adapted into Turkish by Yerlisu, Lapa and Ağyar (2011) was used to determine the participants’ perceived freedom levels in leisure. Additionally, frequency methods have been utilized to identify the distribution of the personal information of the participants and the Shapiro-Wilks normality test has been applied to identify whether data had normal distribution. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskall Wallis tests have been applied to determine the significant differences after it was determined that the data were suitable to non-parametric test conditions. According to the gender variable, no significant difference has been identified in the sub-dimension of the perceived freedom in leisure scale (p>0.05). In the active-passive participation and goal orientation sub-dimensions in the leisure meanings inventory, the female participants were found to score more than male participants. Based on the age variable, there were no significant differences found in any sub dimension of the perceived freedom scale (p<0.05) or in the leisure meanings inventory (p>0.05). In conclusion, the perceived leisure levels of the female participants were higher than the male while it was also seen that as age increases, the perceived freedom levels in leisure increases as well.
ANALISIS LIQUIDITY CREATION PADA PERBANKAN DI INDONESIA TAHUN 2007-2013 (STUDI KASUS PADA 10 BANK BESAR DI INDONESIA TAHUN 2013)

Problems related to banking in Indonesia today is the problem of liquidity. It is shownfrom a commercial bank credit grew 23.03% but not matched by growth in depositswhich only reached 16.56% in 2012 (Report of Banking Supervision, 2012). Therefore,this study aims to determine the liquidity creation in Indonesia as well as to analyze theinfluence of bank capital, credit risk and income instability towards liquidity creation.The samples includes 10 major banks in Indonesia with total assets of more thanRp120billion in 2013. The reason for choosing this sample because of the 10 largestbanks reflects the state of the banks in Indonesia which accounted for 65.2% of totalassets, 65.6% of total loans, and 66% of total deposits or deposits in the banking industry(PEFINDO, 2014). The results of this research note that the bank's capital and earningsvolatility is significant negative effect on liquidity creation. While the credit risk of anegative but insignificant effect on liquidity creation. In the determination coefficient testshowed that 43.6% dependent variable is the liquidity creation can be explained by theindependent variable is the capital of banks, credit risk and earnings volatility. While56.4% is explained by other variables outside the model of this study.Keywords: liquidity creation, capital of banks, credit risk, third-party funds, banks inIndonesia.
Contents of Potentially Toxic Metals and Magnetic Susceptibility of Soils Along a Rural – Urban – Rural Gradient in Bratislava City (Slovakia)

Published: March 2017

The concentrations of potentially toxic metals (As, Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb, Zn and Fe) and the values of magnetic susceptibility in surface soils were measured along NW-SE gradient in Bratislava city (rural – urban – rural soils). The results indicate that both the contents of potentially toxic metals (PTMs) and the values of magnetic susceptibility decrease with increasing distance from the city centre in both directions. Urban soils are enriched mainly in Cu, Hg, Pb and Zn. Their elevated concentrations in soils within the city are due to accumulation from anthropogenic activities. There was a statistically significant and positive correlation between the mean values of Tomlinson pollution load index (PLI) and the mean values of magnetic susceptibility in soil samples. This correlation shows that the monitoring of magnetic properties of soils can be used as a rapid and non-destructive tool for the effective determination of environmental pollution in urbanized regions affected by anthropogenic activities.
Hume’s Fork and Mixed Mathematics
Authors: Slavov Matias
Published: March 2017

Given the sharp distinction that follows from Hume’s Fork, the proper epistemic status of propositions of mixed mathematics seems to be a mystery. On the one hand, mathematical propositions concern the relation of ideas. They are intuitive and demonstratively certain. On the other hand, propositions of mixed mathematics, such as in Hume’s own example, the law of conservation of momentum, are also matter of fact propositions. They concern causal relations between species of objects, and, in this sense, they are not intuitive or demonstratively certain, but probable or provable. In this article, I argue that the epistemic status of propositions of mixed mathematics is that of matters of fact. I wish to show that their epistemic status is not a mystery. The reason for this is that the propositions of mixed mathematics are dependent on the Uniformity Principle, unlike the propositions of pure mathematics.

A high meat percentage in the porcine carcass has been achieved as a result of selection, but it has contributed to a deterioration of pork quality. The level of intramuscular fat has significantly declined, the pork has lost its tenderness and drip loss in meat has substantially increased, which has led to a deterioration of meat flavour and its technological suitability. The recovery of good pork quality could be supported by the development of genetic markers enabling faster breeding progress. This study presents a method by using RNA-seq data that identifies new variants for a chromosome region rich in QTLs for pork quality and selects gene candidates for these traits. This work included two pig breeds: the Polish Landrace (PL) and Puławska (PUL), which differ in meat quality and fat content. The transcriptome profile was estimated for semimembranosus and longissimus dorsi muscles. Into variant calling analysis, transcripts of both muscles encoded by genes located in a region between microsatellites SW964 and SW906 (43-135.9 Mbp) in SSC15 were included. In total, 439 transcripts were searched, 2,800 gene variants were identified and 6 mutations with a high effect belonging to the frameshift variants were found (ENSSSCG00000015976, ENSSSCG00000027516, WRN and XIRP2). Moreover, several interesting significant missense variants in PDLIM3, PLCD4 and SARAF genes were detected. These genes are recommended as candidates for meat quality; however they require further investigation in an association study.

Published: March 2017

We present here an open-path analyser, initially intended for security applications, specifically for the detection of gas plumes from illicit improvised explosive device (IED) manufacturing. Subsequently, the analysers were adapted for methane measurement and used to investigate its applicability for leak detection in different scenarios (e.g. unconventional gas extraction sites). Preliminary results showed consistent measurements of gas plumes in the open path.
