Authors: Niranjana R. , Rajeswari K. S. Raja
Published: October 2018

Background: Iron deficiency anaemia is the most common type of reversible anemia encountered during pregnancy and postpartum period. The present study was done with the objective to find out the efficacy and safety of intravenous iron sucrose in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in the postpartum period.Methods: Fifty (50) postnatal patients both after vaginal and caesarean section with iron deficiency anaemia within the first 48 hours with haemoglobin percentage between 6 g/dl and 8g/dl were studied prospectively at the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Madras Medical College, Chennai. The patients were given 100 mg of elemental iron diluted in 100 ml of 0.9% normal saline and infused over 15 minutes every alternate day (not more than 3 days in a week) until the required dosage is infused. The blood samples of all the patients were collected and analyzed for haemoglobin (g/dl), hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC) and compared before and after therapy.Results: The mean age group of the patients was 24.94 years. Majority of the patients were multipara (68%) and belongs to the class V socio economic status (84%). All the blood parameters were increased significantly (p=0.000) when compared from baseline values to end of the treatment. Mean raise in haemoglobin% after 30 days of treatment was 3.60. Average raise in the mean hematocrit was 8.73. The mean difference in the mean corpuscular volume, total iron binding capacity and the percent saturation was 129.77, 13.55, was 22.26 respectively.Conclusions: Our data confirm that the intravenous iron sucrose was very effective, well tolerated and safe than other forms of iron preparations for treating iron deficiency anaemia in postnatal women.

Synergetics – From Past to Future
Authors: Malinetsky G. G.
Published: October 2018

We consider the meaning, the role and the prospects of interdisciplinary investigations in the world scientific knowledge. We discuss the theory of self-organization or the synergetics development and its reflection in the book series “Synergetics: From the Past to the Future”. We show that fundamental questions of the modern science and a number of key high technologies bounded with the future of the economy directly depend on the level of interdisciplinary works performed in the country. Synergetics talks now in terms of mathematical models. So their construction, investigation and use are the main way in the development of interdisciplinary approaches.

Published: October 2018

We review some methods and approaches to programming discrete problems for Programmable Logic Controllers on the example of constructing PLC-programs for controling a code lock. For these approaches we evaluate the usability of the model checking method for the analysis of program correctness with respect to the automatic verification tool Cadence SMV. Some possible PLC-program vulnerabilities arising at a number approaches to programming of PLC are revealed.
On a Nonstationary Route Problem with Constraints
Authors: Chentsov A. G. , Chentsov P. A.
Published: October 2018

The extremal route problem of permutations under constraints in the form of preceding conditions is investigated. It is supposed that an executer leaves the initial point (the base) after which he visits a system of megalopolises (finite goal sets) and performs some work on each megalopolis. The cost functions for executor permutations and interior works depend on the “visiting moment” that can correspond to the real time or can also correspond to the natural regular succession (the first visiting, the second visiting, and so on). An economic variant of the widely interpreted dynamic programming method (DPM) is constructed. On this basis an optimal computer realized algorithm is constructed. A variant of a greed algorithm is proposed.

Residual Displacement Demand Evaluation from Spectral Displacement
Authors: ESER AYDEMİR Müberra , AYDEMİR Cem
Published: October 2018

In
this study, residual displacement demands are investigated for SDOF systems
with period range of 0.1-3.0 s for near-field and far-field ground motions. The
effects of stiffness degradation and post yield stiffness ratio on residual
displacements are investigated. The modified-Clough model is used to represent
structures that exhibit significant stiffness degradation when subjected to
reverse cyclic loading. An elastoplastic model is used to represent
non-degrading structures. For inelastic time history analyses, Newmark’s step
by step time integration method was adapted in an in-house computer program. Based
on time history analyses, a new simple equation is proposed for residual
displacement demand of a system as a function of structural period (T),
ductility (µ), strain hardening ratio (α) and spectral displacement (Sd).

Published: October 2018

Pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is complex and multi-factorial. Among various suggested mechanisms for the disease, the hormonal theory has been considered as one of the most important mechanisms. Recently, the association of sex hormones with manifestations of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APLS) has been hypothesized. The aim of present study was to assess the serum levels of anticardiolipin antibody (ACA), sex hormones and prolactin in SLE female patients and their association with the disease.
This study comprised 40 SLE female patients and 41 healthy age-matched female subjects. For all patients and controls, the serum levels of ACA (IgG and IgM), estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) and prolactin were measured by ELISA method.
Our study revealed that serum levels of testosterone, DHEA-S and progesterone were significantly lower in SLE patients than control (p<0.001). However, serum levels of estradiol and prolactin were significantly higher in SLE patients compared to controls (p<0.001). There was a significant difference between mild and moderate severity patients group for ACA positivity (95% CI 13.67-41.3; p=0.03). Also, SLE patients with positive ACA showed significantly lower (p<0.001) serum levels of testosterone, DHEA-S and progesterone and significantly higher (p<0.001) estradiol and prolactin serum levels compared to negative ACA patients.
The results of our study indicated that expression and metabolism of sex hormones and prolactin are different in female SLE patients compared to healthy subjects. It seems, change in serum levels of these hormones is related to higher SLE disease activity, increased thrombotic risks and increased renal involvement.
Collagen II-primed Foxp3 Transduced T Cells Ameliorate Collagen-induced Arthritis in Rats: The Effect of Antigenic Priming on T Regulatory Cell Function

Published: October 2018

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a major role in the prevention of autoimmune diseases. Transfer of Foxp3 gene into conventional T cells converts their phenotype to regulatory T cells. Therefore, the question arises as to whether adoptively transferred in vitro differentiated Treg cells specific for a locally expressed antigen might have better inhibitory effects on the progression of the disease as compared with antigen-nonspecific T reg cells.
Herein, we investigated the therapeutic potential of primed and unprimed retrovirus mediated Foxp3-overexpression T cells following intravenously injected of these cells into affected rats with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), an animal model of rheumatoid arthritis.
Our analyses demonstrate that systemic administration of collagen II primed Foxp3-transduced T cells could markedly ameliorate CIA inflammatory responses at clinical (p<0.0014) and pathological exchanges including cellular infiltration (p=0.002), bone erosion (p=0.0013) and synovial hyperplasia (p=0.002). In contrast, collagen II unprimed Foxp3-transduced T cells like as collagen II primed or unprimed GFP-transduced T cells did not reveal any beneficial effects on arthritis features as compared with untreated group (p>0.05).
Therefore, we believe that collagen II primed Foxp3-transduced T cells are interacting locally and systemically with immune cells which reveled with decreasing of T cells infiltration into joints along with specific CII IgG production. Considering the results described here, it appears that the using patients' T cells which previously exposed to specific antigens may have more effective therapeutic advantage in the production of induced regulatory T cells in the treatment of arthritis.

Published: October 2018

Despite many years having passed since exposure to sulfur mustard (SM) gas, there are many exposed subjects who are still suffering from delayed pulmonary complications. The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the lung of these subjects have not been investigated in delay phase. In this study, we evaluated mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory  cytokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), tumor necrosis factor receptor type 1 (TNFR1), and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β)  ) in lung biopsy of SM-exposed subjects and compared them with control (non-exposed) subjects. We used formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue for this purpose.
Lung FFPE blocks of SM-exposed subjects (30 samples) and a control group (30 samples) were collected from archival pathology department. The total mRNA of FFPE tissues were extracted and the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory  cytokines were determined by quantitative Real Time PCR (RT-qPCR). The obtained results from two groups were compared to each other and non-parametric statistical analyses were carried out on them.
Our studies showed that the mRNA expression of TNFα, TNFR1 and IL-1β  in lung tissue of SM injured and control people have no significant difference (p-value= 0.159, 0.832 and 0.314 respectivly). TNFR1 showed direct correlation with TNFα (r=0.867, p=0.002) and IL-1β (r= 0.65, p=0.006).
The evaluation of mRNA expression in pro-inflammatory cytokines in lung of SM-exposed subjects after 20 years showed that these mediators are similar to those of non-exposed group and there was no acute inflammation in lung of these patients.

Published: October 2018

Objetivos: compreender as vivências de jovens em conflito com a lei em um Centro de Atendimento Socioeducativo de Pernambuco acerca de vulnerabilidades para IST/HIV/Aids. Método: a pesquisa qualitativa se deu a partir de entrevistas individuais com 43 jovens vinculados à instituição, com aprovação do Comitê de Ética (CAAE 60579516.2.0000.5196) e analisadas pela Análise do Conteúdo de Bardin. Resultados: Encontrou-se que sexualidade do jovem em conflito com a lei não deixa de ser vivenciada e praticada quando em unidade de internação, mesmo que a visita íntima não seja permitida. A vulnerabilidade para IST/HIV/Aids parecia algo distante, embora tivessem noção de que adotavam comportamentos que os expunham ao risco de contraí-las, conquanto tinham conhecimento precário sobre o tema. Conclusão: faz-se necessário que outros olhares recaiam sobre os jovens de instituições socioeducativas, inserindo ações de cunho educativo na rotina do ambiente, auxiliando-os na compreensão de fatores que intensificam a vulnerabilidade.

Authors: ÖZSİN Kadir Kaan , SANRI Umut Serhat , TOKTAŞ Faruk , YAVUZ Şenol
Published: October 2018

Aim: To investigate the relationship
between  fibrinogen to albumin ratio
(FAR) and carotid artery stenosis (CAS). Material and Methods: This study
included patients who underwent carotid endarterctomy
(CEA) as CEA group and unoperated patients who have CAS  less than 50% as non-surgical group. CAS was
diagnosed with history and physical examination followed by doppler
ultrasonography and carotid angiography. All data retrieved retrospectively
from the hospital medical files. Hematologic parameters were measured and
recorded. In addition, FAR was calculated.Results: Fifty patients were included
in CEA group (70.0 % male, mean age: 71.0 ± 7.7 years) and 60 patients were
invluded in non-surgical group (70.0 % male, mean age: 63.9 ± 8.0 years). In
logistic regression analysis advanced age, presence of coronary artery disease
and FAR were identified as an independent predictor of
the development of CAS. In Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve
analysis, for predicting development of CAS, there were 68.0% sensitivity and
65.0% specificity for FAR (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.669, 95% CI:
0.566-0.771, log rank p = 0.002).

Conclusion: We found that FAR were
identified as an independent predictor of the development of CAS. FAR could be
a potential marker on carotid atherosclerosis in patients. But there is a need
large studies including all cardiovascular diseases.
SAVREMENOST PRIMITIVNOG I PRIMITIVNOST SAVREMENOG
Authors: Prole Dragan
Published: October 2018

Članak najpre ispituje savremenu aktualizaciju »primitivnog« u istorijskom horizontu u kojem su evropske metropole osnivale institute za rasna istraživanja. Savremenost primitivnog odlukuje rastući politički naboj koji je doveden do vrhunca tokom nacističkog režima. Autor ističe da umetnost, koja je proglašena »degenerisanom umetnošću«, nije tako nazvana zbog toga što je navodno kvarila i korumpirala vrline Nemačkog naroda, nego zbog činjenice, da se iz avangardne perspektive celokupna nacistička ideologija nužno ispostavljala kao izvitoperena i degenerisana. Zbog toga je sklonost ka »primitivnog« dugo važila kao pouzdani znak sklonosti zapadnim, liberalno-demokratskim vrednostima. Drugi deo rada ukazuje na paradoks novog primitivizma. Kada se avangardni tretman »primitivnog« posmatra isključivo estetičkim kriterijumima, i kada se situira u savremeni hermeneutički milje, on nužno dobija sasvim drugačije značenje. Strategija avangardnog odnosa prema primitivnom nesumnjivo se uklapa u tipično evropsku hermeneutičku tradiciju prisvajanja i preuzimanja.
PRVI POMEN GALICIJE U INTITULACIJI UGARSKIH KRALJEVA
Authors: Hardi Đura
Published: October 2018

Istoriografija je saglasna da ugarski vladari počev od Andrije II, u svoju intitulaciju (1206) kontinuirano unose i titulu kraljeva Galicije i Volinije (Galiciae Lodomeriaeque rex). Međutim, složenije je pitanje da li je Galiciju u svoju titulu prvi od ugarskih kraljeva već uneo Bela III, kako o tome svedoči jedan dokument skradinskog biskupa Mihajla od 2. maja 1189. godine. Pitanje je kontroverzno jer je reč o samo jednom pomenu sačuvanom u kasnijem prepisu. Autor iznova analizira verodostojnost ovog izvora. Iznosi mišljenje da u konkretnom slučaju po sredi nije morala biti greška ili falsifikat. Jedan od mogućih odgovora na efemernost pomena Bele III kao „rex... nec non Galacie“ je okolnost da je ovaj pomen nastao pre dolaska cara Fridriha I Barbarose u Ugarsku na čelu krstaške vojske, i njegovog susreta sa Belom III (početkom juna 1189). U međuvremenu, knez Galicije Vladir Jaroslavič, koji je dao povod ugarskom kralju da stekne vlast u Galiču, se oslobodio iz ugarskog ropstva i stao je pod vlast i zaštitu rimsko-nemačkog cara. Čini se kao prihvatljiva pretpostavka da je upravo intervencija Fridriha Barbarose omogućila ne samo da se Vladimir bezbedno vrati na presto Galicije, već i da Bela III odustane od galičke titule.

ПА THE DIALOGUE OF THREE WOMEN ABOUT LOVE: PHAEDRA, MARINA CVETAEVA, SARAH KANE
Authors: АСИМОПУЛОС ПАНАЈОТИС ГЕОРГИОС , Пападопулу Иоана
Published: October 2018

Uprkos dominantnom mišljenju da je bio žestoki ženomrzac, mudri Euripid se u klasično doba divi Fedrinim vatrenim osećanjima: u tragediji Hipolit Ovenčan (428 p.n.e.) majstorski vodi dramsku junakinju, dok kroz njenu ranjivu psihu prikazuje poguban preobražaj iz nevinog osećaja u autodestruktivnu strast.

Na Fedrinom mitu zasniva se buntovna pokretna sila Marine Cvetajeve u istoimenoj pesmi (1923), gde ruska pesnikinja uspeva da spoji svoja vanbračna traganja sa postizanjem punoće intelektualnog i umetničkog stvaralaštva. Oponašajući tragičan kraj legendarne Fedre, ali i izopštene Cvetajeve, Sara Kejn, kontroverzna autorka pozorišnog dela Fedrina ljubav (1996) vešanjem okončava svoj kratak život. Pri tome, usvajanjem autentičnog Brehtovog stava zadivljuje gledaoce, ne manipuliše njima pasivno, ali napada lažne moralne vrednosti, dok provodi multidimenzionalnu politiku i oštru feminističku kritiku.

Usklađen sa bazičnim načelima intertekstualnog proučavanja i komparativne književnosti ovaj rad pomoću karakterističnih citata osvrće se na specifičnu dijalektičku raspravu dve pesnikinje o Fedrinom liku, dok teži ka ustanovljenju njegove fizionomije i diferencirane percepcije. Razmatranjem drevnogrčke tragedije, Cvetajevine inspiracije i Kejnine pesme, izvodi se zaključak da je ljubavna strast čvrsta podloga jakih sukoba sa opšteprihvaćenom logikom, ali i neiscrpan izvor kreativnosti.
UNDERSTANDING THE THEORY BEHIND LEXICOGRAPHIC PRACTICE: THE CASE OF SYNONYMY
Authors: Halas Ana
Published: October 2018

This paper analyzes the representation of synonymy within entries in English dictionaries of synonyms and thesauri with the aim of revealing and comparing theoretical views of this phenomenon that these lexicographic resources are based on as well as gaining an insight into the general character of the theoretical foundation of English lexicographic practice related to the treatment of synonymy. The mentioned theoretical views are determined on the basis of two aspects: the scope of the notion of synonymy and the relation between synonymy and polysemy. The results of the analysis have shown that the theoretical foundation of the given practice is two-type taking into account both examined aspects. The analyzed lexicographic resources are based on near-synonymy exhibiting two types – the one with a narrower and the one with a broader scope. Moreover, synonymy and polysemy are viewed in two ways: as independent lexical phenomena or as interrelated phenomena, inseparable from each other.   

Key words: synonymy, synonym set, polysemy, English, lexicography, dictionary of synonyms, thesaurus.
RELACIJE BAVLJENJA SPORTOM I EMOCIONALNE INTELIGENCIJE NA SREDNJOŠKOLSKOM UZRASTU
Authors: Lepir Duško , Lakić Siniša , Takšić Vladimir
Published: October 2018

Istovremeno vrlo popularan i metodološki kontroverzan konstrukt emocionalne inteligencije je dovođen u vezu sa velikim brojem relevantnih eksternih varijabli kada je u pitanju psihološko funk- cionisanje u različitim životnim domenima. Iako postoje teorijska razmatranja koja povezuju bavljenje sportom sa izraženošću emo- cionalne inteligencije, mali je broj empirijskih istraživanja te veze, a ona su pogotovo rijetka na našem podneblju i kada je u pitanju ado- lescentska dob. Cilj našeg istraživanja je bio ispitati da li bavljenje sportom na srednjoškolskom uzrastu ostvaruje relaciju sa emocio- nalnom inteligencijom koja je konceptualizovana i kao crta ličnosti i kao sposobnost. Na uzorku od 191 učenika srednje škole (od čega 61.1% ženskog pola, uzrasta od 14 do 19 godina) zadani su upitnik samoprocjene UEK45, koji ima trofaktorsku strukturu, te dva objek- tivna situaciona testa emocionalne inteligencije, STEU i STEM. Naši rezultati potvrđuju potrebu za diferencijacijom konstrukata koji se mjere upitnicima samoprocjene i objektivnim testovima. Nada- lje, ustanovljeno je da, čak i kada se kontrolišu efekti pola i godina starosti, sportisti postižu više rezultate na svim mjerama, ali je to pogotovo evidentno na objektivnim testovima. U radu diskutujemo moguća objašnjenja za dobijene razlike koje se očituju na hijerarhij- ski složenijim aspektima emocionalne inteligencije i ukazujemo na potrebu za multimetodskim pristupom kada su u pitanju naučna i stručna procjena emocionalnih kompetencija mladih sportista.
ANOTHER PSYCHOMETRIC PROOF OF THE ABBREVIATED MATH ANXIETY SCALE USEFULNESS: IRT ANALYSIS
Authors: Sadiković Selka , Milovanović Ilija , Oljača Milan
Published: October 2018

The aim of this research is the psychometric evaluation of the Abbreviation Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS) on a sample of high school students. AMAS operationalizes math anxiety as a two- dimensional construct, basing its main components on the context model: math learning anxiety (MAL) and math evaluation anxiety (MAE). MAL represents the tendency of manifesting mathematical anxiety during the process of learning mathematics, while MAE represents math anxiety present in all situations that imply formal evaluation of math knowledge. The sample consisted of 514 high school students (45.3% male), aged 15 to 19. Confirmatory factor analysis pointed that AMAS is a one–dimensional scale with two facets, with the bifactorial solution showing the best fit parameters. Psychometric attributes of AMAS were tested by using Item Response Theory. Items and the questionnaire showed appropriate psychometric properties. The AMAS scale has expected patterns of relatedness with mathematical achievement, motivation for learning math, age and gender.
Guardianes del Honor. Los guardias civiles y la historia de su institución durante la Segunda República
Authors: Chamberlin Foster
Published: October 2018

Resumen: La Guardia Civil forma parte esencial de la vio­lencia política de la Segunda República, y quienes más han escrito sobre este tema han sido miem­bros de la propia institución dispuestos a defender su honor. En este artículo analizaré cómo estos historiadores han retratado en libros y revistas de historia desde 1968 hasta la actualidad, una serie de incidentes violentos específicos que se produje­ron durante el periodo republicano. De este modo, demostraré que incluso cuando España modificó su concepción del modelo policial durante la Transición, avanzando desde la idea de orden público a la de seguridad ciudadana, estos historiadores te­nían tan interiorizada la visión franquista de una Guardia Civil que había ganado su honor gracias a su lucha desapasionada contra el desorden de la Segunda República, que sólo la nueva generación formada durante la Transición fue capaz de elabo­rar una nueva narrativa que presentaba al cuerpo como servidor del interés público. Aun así, el deseo inquebrantable de defender el honor de la institu­ción ha hecho que esta nueva generación también represente el cuerpo como un ente apolítico.Palabras clave: Guardia Civil, Transición, orden público, seguri­dad ciudadana, violencia política, militarización.Abstract: The Civil Guard is an essential part of the story of the political violence that plagued the Second Republic, and its history has largely been written by members of the institution itself eagerly de­fending its honour. This article traces how spe­cific incidences of violence during the Second Republic were portrayed by Civil Guard histori­ans in books and history magazine articles from 1968 to the present, and in so doing it will demonstrate that, even as Spain shifted from a pub­lic order to a citizen security model of policing during the Transition, these historians remained trapped by a Francoist vision of the Civil Guard gaining honour through dispassionately fight­ing the disorder of the Second Republic. The vi­sion was so engrained that only a new generation trained after the Transition was able to find a new narrative that portrayed the Civil Guard as serv­ing the interests of the public. Still, the unwaver­ing desire to uphold the honour of the institution has meant that this new generation also depicts the corps as apolitical.Key words: Civil Guard, Transition, public order, citizen security, political violence, militarization.

Puskesmas as a health service facility, organized public health effort and individuals in the first level. As a first-rate health facility, puskesmas are responsible for health in their working area. School is one of the institutions that become the responsibility of puskesmas. Health efforts in schools are realized through the development of health promotion. The development of school health promotion is implemented through a health program, UKS. UKS targets are all schools which means not only public schools but also specials schools (SLB) are included. Children with special needs is one of the human resources whose quality must be improved. Such quality improvement can be done through basic behavioral cultivation, including health behavior. PHBS in school is an absolute necessity. This can be said because the various diseases that often attack school-age children associated with PHBS. SLB Alpa Kumara Wardana II is one of the target schools of Puskesmas Pucang Sewu so that the implementation of PHBS from the school is also the responsibility of Puskesmas Pucang Sewu. This study aims to analyze the role of puskesmas in the implementation of PHBS in schools at SLB based on Ottawa Charter. The method used in this research is qualitative with the determination of informants using purposive sampling technique. The results obtained from this research is the role of puskesmas in the implementation of PHBS in schools at SLB Alpa Kumara Wardana II is still less than optimal in the implementation of PHBS in schools. Implementation of PHBS in SLB is still need to improved application from the aspect of build healthy public policy, create supportive environtment, reorient health services, strengthen community action, and develop personal skills.

Published: October 2018

Diarrheal disease is one of health problems in Indonesian. Diarrhea is one of leading causes of under-five mortality. In Wonokusumo, incidence of diarrhea in 2016 is 352 cases. This study aims to know the relationship between predisposing factors, such as knowledge, attitude and behavior of mothers and the incidence of diarrhea in under-five children. The population is mothers whose babies and toddlers in Rw 02 Kelurahan Wonokusumo. This study has 68 samples determined by simple random sampling. Instruments in this study is a questionnaire, using Chi square test analysis. The result of this research shows that attitude variable has p value = 0.019 <α (0.05), so Ho is rejected. It means there is a significant relationship between mother’s attitude and the incidence of diarrhea. Meanwhile, the behavior variable results p value = 0.003 <α (0.05) so that H0 is rejected. Hence, there is a relationship between mother’s behavior and the incidence of diarrhea. Based on those results, health workers need to improve the understanding of mothers, as well as their attitude, and behavior through health education. Moreover, community outreach is also necessary to empower the community for doing clean and healthy life behavior.

Obesity is defi ned as excessive fat accumulation fat that causes excess weight. Diseases that related with obesity are diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension and other degenerative diseases. Factors that affect obesity are dietary factors,history of hereditary, lifestyle, psychological factors, environment, individual, and biological which may infl uence energy intake and expenditure. Consumption of high fat in a long period without any activity for energy expenditure can increase the risk of obesity. This study was aimed to analyse the correlation between fat intake and physical activity with obesity among adolescent girls in SMP Bina Insani junior high school Surabaya. This study employed a case control study design with a retrospective approach. The research participants were 32 female students in Bina Insani junior high school Surabaya (16 control and 16 case samples). Total fat intake was relatively low. The intake of Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA) and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) were low while Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA) were high. There was no correlation between fat intake and obesity (ρ=0.240), but there was a signifi cant correlation between physical activity ρ=0.006 (OR= 9.533, 95% CI: 1.847-49.204) with adolescent obesity. The very mild physical activity give a risk as much as 9.533 times greater for developing obesity than the mild physical.Therefore, it is necessary to increase physical activity among adolescent girls by doing sports to reduce the risk of obesity.

Authors: Kurnia Nelsa , Muniroh Lailatul
Published: October 2018

Parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often report that their children are picky eater or selective in consuming food and refuse to try new food. This may affect the adequacy of nutritional intake. The purpose of this research was to analyse the correlation between picky eater behavior and nutrient adequacy of children with autism. This cross sectional research was conducted in 38 children with autism at SLB AGCA Center Surabaya using random sampling technique. The correlation between picky eater behavior and nutrient adequacy was analyzed by Chisquare. Based on the result of this research, there was correlation between picky eater behavior and energy adequacy (p=0.007), calcium (p =0.002) and zinc (p=0.010). On the other hand, there was no correlation between picky eater behavior and protein adequacy. It is suggested that parents should increase food intake of children with picky eater behavior, especially food that contain energy, calcium and zinc. Parents should try to offer new food, so the childrenwants to eat.

Published: October 2018

Magnetic drug targeting can be used for locoregional cancer therapy, although the limitation is minuteness of the induced force. A new and simple procedure to enhance the magnetic force is changing the shape of carrier particles. It has been mathematically proved that exerting much stronger magnetic dipoles to nanowires are more possible than to spheres with the same volume. The magnetic dipole of wires having aspect quotient (ratio of length to diameter) of 3 is higher than the spheres of the same volume. Nanowires with α = 5 have magnetic dipoles 1.95 times greater than the spheres with the same volume. At a fixed radius, the magnetic dipole increases with the volume of the drug carrier. Magnetic targeting depth is an important parameter depending on the aspect quotient α of particles. Calculations show that the depth of targeting can exceed 8.5 cm if a nanowire with 15 nm radius and length larger than 150 nm is used as the drug carrier. This depth is 1.7 times more than that reported by previous authors for spherical particles with the same-volume.

Thanks to advanced semiconductor microfabrication technology, chip-scale integration and miniaturization of lab-on-a-chip components, silicon-based optical biosensors have made significant progress for the purpose of point-of-care diagnosis. In this review, we provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in evanescent field biosensing technologies including interferometer, microcavity, photonic crystal, and Bragg grating waveguide-based sensors. Their sensing mechanisms and sensor performances, as well as real biomarkers for label-free detection, are exhibited and compared. We also review the development of chip-level integration for lab-on-a-chip photonic sensing platforms, which consist of the optical sensing device, flow delivery system, optical input and readout equipment. At last, some advanced system-level CMOS-chip packaging examples are presented, indicating the commercialization potential for the low cost, high yield, portable biosensing platform leveraging CMOS processes.

Under optimal conditions, just 3–6 ms of visual stimulation suffices for humans to see motion. Motion perception on this time scale implies that the visual system under these conditions reliably encodes, transmits, and processes neural signals with near-millisecond precision. Motivated by in vitro evidence for high temporal precision of motion signals in the primate retina, we investigated how neuronal and perceptual limits of motion encoding relate. Specifically, we examined the correspondence between the time scale at which cat retinal ganglion cells in vivo represent motion information and temporal thresholds for human motion discrimination. The time scale for motion encoding by ganglion cells ranged from 4.6–91 ms, depended nonlinearly on temporal frequency but not on contrast. Human psychophysics revealed that minimal stimulus durations required for perceiving motion direction were similarly brief, 5.6–65 ms, similarly depended on temporal frequency but, above ~10%, not on contrast. Notably, physiological and psychophysical measurements corresponded closely throughout (r = 0.99), despite more than a 20-fold variation in both human thresholds and optimal time scales for motion encoding in the retina. These results demonstrate that neural circuits for motion vision in cortex can maintain and make use of the high temporal fidelity of the retinal output signals.

SAA is an acute phase protein that elevates under inflammatory circumstance. The serum level of SAA was associated with the progression of inflammation in numerous diseases. However, little attention was paid to the correlation between SAA and ONFH. In this study, SAA was found risen in the femoral head of osteonecrosis patients through proteomics analysis and further confirmed by ELISA. Furthermore, SAA was proven affecting bone metabolism in rBMSCs. It facilitated the proliferation of rBMSCs whereas it suppressed the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs and accelerated the adipogenic differentiation of rBMSCs. Thus, we deem that serum amyloid A, which is a vital acute phase protein in inflammation, affected bone metabolis and plays an imperative role in the pathophysiological process of ONFH.

The application of 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing has expanded our knowledge about the respiratory tract microbiome originally obtained using conventional, culture-based methods. In this study, we employed DNA-based molecular techniques for examining the sputum microbiome in bronchiectasis patients in relation to disease severity. Of 63 study subjects, 42 had mild and 21 had moderate or severe bronchiectasis, which was classified by calculating the FACED score based on FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 s, %) (F, 0–2 points), age (A, 0–2 points), chronic colonization by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (C, 0-1 point), radiographic extension (E, 0–1 point), and dyspnoea (D, 0–1 point). Bronchiectasis was defined as mild at 0–2 points, moderate at 3–4 points, and severe at 5–7 points. The mean age was 68.0 ± 9.3 years; 33 patients were women. Haemophilus (p=0.005) and Rothia (p=0.043) were significantly more abundant in the mild bronchiectasis group, whereas Pseudomonas (p=0.031) was significantly more abundant in the moderate or severe group. However, the alpha or beta diversity did not significantly differ among sputum microbiota, i.e. the same dominating genera were found in all samples. Further large-scale studies are needed to investigate the sputum microbiome in bronchiectasis.

Variable Laser Wall-plug Efficiency
Authors: Shammi Shamanta
Published: October 2018

In most studies reported in literature, a flat,

constant coefficient is used to convert the amount of optical power

required at the input of an optical link into the effective power

consumption. This constant coefficient approach is very simple to

apply but not accurate, since laser efficiencies are dependent on

the optical output power in addition to the operating temperature.

In this paper the relationship between laser wall plug efficiency

and optical power output is investigated and the effect of this

variance on optical links and on-chip laser source electric power

consumption is presented
