Published: October 2018

Background: Constraint-induced therapy (CIT) has long-term beneficial effects. However, there is evidence that the recovery of the functional movements of the affected hand can be influenced by hand dominance prior to the brain injury and that this aspect may influence the maintenance of the CIT results. Aim: To investigate the influence of previous hand dominance in post-stroke hemiparetic patients on immediate CIT results and result maintenance in uni- and bi-manual activities for at least 12 months. Methods: This study was an observational study that used medical records of patients who performed the CIT protocol between 2009 and 2014. Thirty-four patients were included and divided into two groups [concordance group (n=18; age: 56(13); sex: 11 male) and non-dominant group (n=16; age: 57(13); sex: 9 male)]. Two scales were used: the Motor Activity Log (MAL), and the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT). Results: MAL and WMFT scales showed significant improvement comparing pre- to post-treatment. However, there is no statistical difference between the groups and the follow-ups on both scales. Conclusions: There was significant improvement and maintenance in both the quality and the amount of use in the more affected upper limb, but the previous manual dominance was not a relevant factor.
Postural control in children: Effect of discrete manipulation of visual information
Authors: Toledo Diana R. , Rinaldi Natália M. , Barela José A.
Published: October 2018

Postural control developmental changes are observed throughout the first decade of life. Despite all the efforts to uncover the mechanisms and processes underlying these changes, it is not clear yet when children integrate sensory information related to postural control similarly to adults. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of visual manipulation on body oscillation in children. Ten eight-year old, ten twelve-year old children and eight adults were asked to maintain the upright stance inside a moving room that oscillated discretely back or forward. Participant trunk sway and moving room displacement, in the anterior-posterior, direction were obtained through IRED markers. Dependent variables were mean sway amplitude and body displacement due to the movement of the moving room. Results revealed that young children oscillated more than older children and adults. Similar results were observed as a consequence of visual manipulation; with young children being more affected and displaying larger body sway than older children and adults. These findings suggest that postural control is not fully developed even at age of eight years and that children at this age still may have difficulties in solving sensory conflicting situations.

Authors: Chiviacowsky Suzete , Insaurriaga Denise C. , Silva Igor de O. , Krüger João A.
Published: October 2018

The objective of the present study was to verify the effects of knowledge of results (KR) frequency in learning of a motor skill of adults with visual impairment. Nineteen subjects were distributed into two groups in relation to the diverse conditions of KR frequency used. The 100% frequency group received KR after each trial, while the 50% frequency group received KR in half of the trials. A linear positioning task was used, with spatial control demand. The tested hypothesis is that subjects with visual impediments, who practiced with reduced KR frequency, will demonstrate a higher learning than subjects who practiced with 100% KR, according to the previous results in adults without visual impairments. The data analysis carried out through the ANOVA, exhibit no differences between the groups, showing that reduced frequencies are so effective as high frequencies in the learning of a motor skill in adults with visual impairment.

Published: October 2018

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of task constraint in the step length of the relative angle of internal ankle during independent gait of children with Down Syndrome (DS) and Typical Development (TD). Two children participated in the sample, whose task was to walk on a wooden platform in the flat and inclined surfaces. The results indicated that DS child was higher and less consistent in the two variables of analysis. Compared with TD child, was identified differences between the two children, emphasizing greater sensitivity of DS child to the restricted task.
Use of force plate for acquisition of kinetic data during human gait
Authors: Barela Ana Maria Forti , Duarte Marcos
Published: October 2018

We cannot see forces and are not able to measure them during a clinical evaluation. However, the ground reaction force can be measured with a force plate, which is an instrument used for gait analysis in many laboratories. With a force plate one can acquire data that describe some gait characteristics not detectable through visual inspection. In this article, we present information regarding types of force plate commercially available, installation, data acquisition during gait, data normalization, and the interpretation of these data. It is not our intention to present a database of kinetics data from clinical analysis, but it is to provide basic subsidies to use force plate to acquire kinetics data during human gait.

Abstract: Little is known about the role of the attentional, motor and non-planning impulsivities in motor timing tasks. The aim of this study was to correlate the motor performance in a motor timing task with the performance in neuropsychological tests of twenty two volunteers. Before the execution of the motor task, participant wore a headphone and heard five times each temporal reference (2,500 and 3,500 msec) that consisted of two â€œbipsâ€. After, the motor timing task was performed in five trials of each temporal reference. The task consisted in transporting tennis balls in a pre-defined sequence in each criterion time. It was evaluated: reaction time, movement time, constant error and absolute error. The neuropsychological tests IGT and CPT-II were applied to the evaluation of impulsivities. The findings indicated that attentional impulsivity was more related to the motor performance than the motor and non-planning impulsivities.Key Words: Impulsivity, motor control, motor timing task.Â

Strenght and power in children with low motor performance scores: A descriptive analysis
Authors: Ruas Cassio V , Punt Cody , Pinto Ronei S , Oliveira Marcio A
Published: October 2018

This study aimed to explore descriptive average values of strength and explosive power tasks in children with LMP scores, and individually analyze their strength and power outputs with age progression. Twenty-four children were tested on the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2). Five children scored below the 15th percentile (10.8±1.7 yrs) and were placed in the LMP group (n = 5). Nineteen children (10.7±1.7 yrs) were included on the TD group (n =19). Participants isometric, isokinetic and handgrip strength and explosive power were tested. The group of children with LMP presented inferior descriptive mean scores as compared to the group with TD children at knee isometric and isokinetic, handgrip, long jump and vertical jump tests. In addition, the results demonstrated that strength and power increase with age for those children with LMP. The findings suggest that children with LMP may be delayed in developing strength and power, which may be affecting their ability to perform gross and fine motor skills at the same level as their TD peers. We recommend that intervention programs for children with LMP include specific motor tasks and exercises focusing on neuromuscular coordination as well as ability to manage muscle strength and power levels.
Stable patterns of upper limb muscle activation in different conditions of human walking
Authors: Kuhtz-Buschbeck Johann Peter , Frendel Antonia
Published: October 2018

Background:Â  Arm swing during human gait is associated with contractions of upper limb muscles, which have been examined rarely.

Aim: This study aims to identify basic temporal patterns of upper limb muscle activation during walking conditions involving different modes of arm swing.

Method: Twenty volunteers were examined during (a) normal forward walking, (b) walking with immobilized arms, (c) walking while carrying loads in one or in both hands. Electromyographic (EMG) data were collected for the trapezius (TRAP), anterior (AD) and posterior deltoid (PD), biceps (BIC), triceps (TRI), latissimus dorsi (LD) and lumbar erector spinae (ES) muscles.

Results: Principal components analyses identified two basic patterns of muscle activation that remained stable across gait conditions. Some rhythmical EMG signals of arm and shoulder muscles (TRAP, PD, TRI, LD) persisted during walking with immobilized arms, indicating coupled activation of leg and arm muscles. Carrying a load in one hand resulted in stronger ipsilateral EMG activity (TRAP, AD, PD, BIC, TRI) than splitting the same load between both hands.

Interpretation: Although the amount of upper limb muscle activity varies markedly between different conditions of human walking (with/without arm sing; with/without load carriage), basic temporal activation patterns remain stable, indicating a common motor control strategy.
Preliminary findings of finger independency and visual force control in children with DCD
Authors: Oliveira Marcio Alves de
Published: October 2018

To examine finger force independency, maximum voluntary force (MVF), force enslaving (FE) and force sharing (FS) values were computed. To analyze the ability of children with DCD to visually control their finger forces, the following performance measures were calculated: rate of force change, initial overshoot, coefficient of variation (CV), root mean square error (RMSe), and inter-trial variability. The results from the MVF task showed that children with DCD as compared with TD children (a) produced similar levels of maximum finger force; (b) demonstrated less finger independency;(c) had similar finger-force sharing patterns. In addition, from the VFC task we found (d) larger performance errors in children with DCD;(e) and lower inter-trial consistency as compared to their TD peers.Our preliminary findings suggest that the impairments in manipulative skills often observed in children with DCD during everyday activities may be related to deficits in finger independency.Additionally we found that children with DCD do not have difficulties in reducing the number of joint/muscle-level degrees of freedom in order to achieve a common motor task.
Activity of upper limb and trunk muscles during power walking
Authors: Kuhtz-Buschbeck Johann Peter , Frendel Antonia
Published: October 2018

Background: Arm swing is deliberately emphasized during power walking, a popular aerobic fitness exercise. Electromyographic (EMG) activation curves of arm and shoulder muscles during power walking have not yet been examined. Aim: To describe the amount and pattern of EMG activity of upper limb muscles during power walking. Data are compared to normal walking and jogging. Method: Twenty volunteers were examined on a treadmill at 6 km/h during (a) normal walking, (b) power walking, (c) jogging. EMG data were collected for the trapezius (TRAP), anterior (AD) and posterior deltoid (PD), biceps (BIC), triceps (TRI), latissimus dorsi (LD) and erector spinae (ES) muscles. Results: Activity of four muscles (AD, BIC, PD, TRAP) was three- to fivefold stronger during power walking than normal walking. Smaller significant increases involved the TRI, LD and ES. Two muscles (AD, TRAP) were more active during power walking than running. Normal walking and power walking involved similar EMG patterns of PD, LD, ES, while EMG patterns of running and walking differed. Interpretation: Emphasizing arm swing during power walking triples the EMG activity of upper limb muscles, compared to normal walking. Similar basic temporal muscle activation patterns in both modes of walking indicate a common underlying motor program.

Published: October 2018

AbstractThe shift of Indonesian government regime in 2014 had led to a seachange in development approach. Joko Widodo prioritises iridentism based on maritime sector. Maritime is essentially one of potentials that had not been optimalised by the previous government. As a country with around half of its territory consists of ocean, realising the dream of welfare state for Indonesia is a challenge and opprtunity of the maritime axis. Indonesia is a country with the second longest coastal line in the world, and need to be used as potency for the welfare of Indonesian citizens. Pursuing strong economy and stability in security is the key for the nation�s welfare. Presenting this hope through maritime axis is a real work of this government and may be a constructive and productive discourse for the future Indonesia.

AbstrakPergantian rezim pemerintahan di Indonesia pada tahun 2014 dari Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono ke Joko Widodo membawa angin perubahan pada pendekatan pembangunan. Joko Widodo mengedepankan iridentisme kejayaan masa lalu Indonesia yang berbasis pada sektor maritim. Kemaritiman sejatinya merupakan salah satu potensi yang belum atau bahkan tidak terlalu diberdayakan pada masa pemerintahan yang lalu. Sebagai wilayah yang sebagian besar wilayahnya adalah laut, mewujudkan cita-cita negara kesejahteraan bagi Indonesia merupakan sebuah tantangan dan potensi yang coba diwujudkan melalui konseptual poros maritim. Indonesia yang tercatat memiliki garis pantai terpanjang kedua di dunia harus dimanfaatkan sebagai potensi bagi kesejahteraan rakyat Indonesia seluas-luasnya. Kemaritiman yang kembali dipromosikan pada saat ini sebenarnya memiliki konsekuensi terhadap pembangunan, ekonomi dan keamanan bagi Indonesia. Menciptakan bangsa dengan ekonomi yang kuat dan stabilitas keamanan yang baik merupakan kunci dari terwujudnya kesejahteraan bangsa dan negara. Menghadirkan kembali harapan kejayaan bangsa melalui kemaritiman merupakan impian dan kerja nyata dari pemerintahan baru ini yang sekiranya dapat menjadi wacana yang konstruktif dan produktif bagi kemajuan Indonesia di masa yang akan datang.

It was happened to the cancer patients. Limited facility of health services in one place can encourage people to get a healing outside the town of origin where the more complete facilities are available. The contrast in the services and facilities of health sector inter-regionally has become one of the matters encouring people to move to find far more complete health facilities. This research was aimed to determine the process of the decision-making of the cancer patient for treatment in Yogyakarta. This happened due to the limited cancer facilities and services in a number of hospitals. The result of the research shows that the limitation of health care facilities in the native region is one of the matters causing the patients to take medication outside their domicilies. There are many considerations to decide to move. Those considerations are the external and also internal effects. The strength of the kinship makes people are hard to leave their town of origin. The decision is not easy to be taken due to issues related to the family or the work which must be abandoned.In case of choosing the recovery place, there are some considerations on it, there are, the distance from the town of origin, the affection from the other people, and the condition or environment.

AbstractFood has a story and people are the sole object constructing the story. Food also has meaning for a community group,where tradition, customs, values, and geographical location will determine what kind of dish is placed in a servingdevice. In other words, food can not be separated from the cultural aspects of a community group, because of courseevery community or a nation has a distinctive style to the food and in the end can set the identity. The concept ofgastronomy is certainly not a rare and peculiar thing, but when it is combined with diplomacy, the story may bedifferent. A decade and a half ago, a leading weekly magazine raised the news about gastro diplomacy activities andmade International Relations scholars captivated to further interpret this concept. This paper will elaborate theconcepts, practices, and debates surrounding gastro diplomacy regarding disparities to similar concepts. In addition,this paper also tries to analyze the affiliation of gastro diplomacy with nation branding.

AbstractSince batik is recognized by UNESCO as a nation heritage, batik industry in Pekalongan is increasing, but it caused environmental issues. Then, the government of Pekalongan issued local regulation No. 9 of 2015 about waste water management to minimalized the waste impact in Pekalongan. The sustainable development can be meant as a development concept which fulfills needs of the present without forfeiting the fulfillment rights of needs for future generation. There are three understanding apects in the sustainable development, such as social aspect, economy and environment. Generally, the implementation of local regulation No. 9 of 2015 about waste water management in Pekalongan is a balancer of the sustainable development from batik industry which has been done. There are three sustainable development principles which are suitable with local regualation No. 9 of 2015, such as principle of intergenerational equity, principle of integration between environmental protection and development, and principle of preventive measure. In its implementation, these principles have been already done, but the use of IPAL which has not been maximized caused less water quality standard and become an indication of river pollution.Keywords: batik, waste water, local regulation, sustainable development

Therefore, more efforts need to be done in order to improve the performance of educational staff. The research model using analysis with the following hypotheses, H1: Financial compensation has positive effect on employee satisfaction, H2: Promotion has positive effect on employee satisfaction, H3: Financial compensation has positive effect on employee performance, H4: Promotion has positive effect on performance employees, and H5: job satisfaction has positive influence on employee performance. This research was conducted in Jenderal Soedirman University (Unsoed), using quantitative methods. The research target was all education personnel in all unit in Unsoed with a total sample of 256 respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire and then analyzed using statistical analysis. The result from the statistical analysis showed that the financial compensation was in a good category. Financial compensation has a significant influence on job satisfaction that is equal to 0.578. The promotion has been perceived as a good thing by the employees, and promotion has a significant influence on job satisfaction statistically which is equal to 0.545. Financial compensation has a significant influence on employee performance that is equal to 0.845. The promotion has a significant influence on employee performance that is equal to 0.680, statistically. The employees experienced a good job satisfaction, which encourages them to work better. Statistically, job satisfaction has a significant influence on employee performance that is equal to 0.730. The influence of financial compensation to the employees' performance was increased from 49.9 percent to 69.5 after job satisfaction variables included as mediating variable. The result of Sobel test confirmed that job satisfaction was capable to mediate the influence of financial compensation to the employee performance, significantly. The influence of promotion to employee performance was increased from 42 percent to 64.7 percent after included job satisfaction as mediating variable. Sobel test showed that that job satisfaction was capable to mediate the influence of promotion to employee performance, significantly.

The development of science and technology gives the impact in the change of perspective and activities of citizens in communicating. Cyberspace phenomenon or called the virtual world would result in narrowing space, time, and distance so that they are connected to each other. Increasingly internet users in Indonesia need to be utilized as a container in expressing interests, critics and be a public discussion space. As citizens, Internet political activism needs to be positioned as demos for countervailing and supervising the state. In the democracy aspect, the utilization of internet technology becomes a solution for civil society movement. Penetration by social media users in the cyberspace is able to encourage the deliberation of democratic values such as voluntarism, egalitarianism, or networking in contemporary democratic conditions. This paper aims to deepen and add insight about the role of Cyberspace as the form of Internet Political Activism in Indonesia. The method of this research is library research by collecting some related references. Thus, it will improve the knowledge about the role of Cyberspace as the form of internet political activism in Indonesia.

Ziyuan-3 (ZY-3) satellite is the first civilian stereo mapping satellite in China and was designed to achieve the 1: 50000 scale mapping for land and ocean. Rigorous sensor model (RSM) is required to build the relationship between the three-dimensional (3D) object space and two-dimensional (2D) image space of ZY-3 satellite imagery. However, each satellite sensor has its own imaging system with different physical sensor models, which increase the difficulty of geometric integration of multi-source images with different sensor models. Therefore, it is critical to generate generic model， especially rational polynomial coefficients (RPCs) of optical imagery. Recently, relatively a few researches have been conducted on RPCs generation to ZY-3 satellite. This paper proposes an approach to evaluate the performance of RPCs generation from RSM of ZY-3 imagery. Three scenarios experiments with different terrain features (such as ocean, city and grassland) are designed and conducted to comprehensively evaluate the replacement accuracies of this approach and analyze the RPCs fitting error. All the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieved the encouraging accuracy of better than 1.946E-04 pixel in both x-axis direction and y-axis direction, and it indicates that the RPCs is suitable for ZY-3 imagery and can be used as a replacement for the RSM of ZY-3 imagery.
Image-Based Surrogates of Socio-Economic Status in Urban Neighborhoods Using Deep Multiple Instance Learning

Published: October 2018

(1) Background: Evidence-based policymaking requires data about the local population's socioeconomic status (SES) at detailed geographical level, however, such information is often not available, or is too expensive to acquire. Researchers have proposed solutions to estimate SES indicators by analyzing Google Street View images, however, these methods are also resource-intensive, since they require large volumes of manually labeled training data. (2) Methods: We propose a methodology for automatically computing surrogate variables of SES indicators using street images of parked cars and deep multiple instance learning. Our approach does not require any manually created labels, apart from data already available by statistical authorities, while the entire pipeline for image acquisition, parked car detection, car classification, and surrogate variable computation is fully automated. The proposed surrogate variables are then used in linear regression models to estimate the target SES indicators. (3) Results: We implement and evaluate a model based on the proposed surrogate variable at 30 municipalities of varying SES in Greece. Our model has $R^2=0.76$ and a correlation coefficient of $0.874$ with the true unemployment rate, while it achieves a mean absolute percentage error of $0.089$ and mean absolute error of $1.87$ on a held-out test set. Similar results are also obtained for other socioeconomic indicators, related to education level and occupational prestige. (4) Conclusions: The proposed methodology can be used to estimate SES indicators at the local level automatically, using images of parked cars detected via Google Street View, without the need for any manual labeling effort.
On the Eternal Role of Planck Scale in Machian Cosmology

Considering Planck mass as a representation of baby universe and evolving universe as a growing Planck ball, a heuristic model of quantum cosmology can be developed. By considering the famous relation GM = c2R, a Machian model of evolving quantum cosmology can also be developed with increasing matter content and decreasing matter density. In all directions, ‘from and about’ the baby universe, cosmic expansion velocity can be shown to be increasing with decreasing matter density. Estimated current cosmic mass, radius, matter density, expansion velocity and age are: 4.3352×1053 kg, 3.207×1026 m, 3.318×10-27 kg.m-3, 2.43c and 19.78 Billion respectively. As a peculiar case, considering the equality of current Hubble parameter and current angular velocity, current cosmic rotational kinetic energy can be shown to be 0.667 times the current critical energy! Proceeding further, with reference to Planck scale, cosmic temperature seems to be redshifted by a factor( ( Z T ) t + 1 ) ≅ 1 + ln ( H p l / H t ) ; where (Hpl, Ht) represent Planck scale and time dependent Hubble parameters respectively.
Regulation of DNA Double-Strand Break Repair by Non-Coding RNAs
Authors: Thapar Roopa
Published: October 2018

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are deleterious lesions that are generated in response to ionizing radiation or replication fork collapse that can lead to genomic instability and cancer.  Eukaryotes have evolved two major pathways, namely homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) to repair DSBs.  Whereas the roles of protein-DNA interactions in HR and NHEJ have been fairly well defined, the functions of small and long non-coding RNAs and RNA-DNA hybrids in the DNA damage response is just beginning to be elucidated.  This review summarizes recent discoveries on the identification of non-coding RNAs and RNA-mediated regulation of DSB repair
The Coming Emptiness: On the Meaning of the Emptiness of the Universe in Natural Philosophy
Authors: Schiemann Gregor
Published: October 2018

The cosmological relevance of emptiness—that is, space without bodies—is not yet sufficiently appreciated in natural philosophy. This paper addresses two aspects of cosmic emptiness from the perspective of natural philosophy: the distances to the stars in the closer cosmic environment and the expansion of space as a result of the accelerated expansion of the universe. Both aspects will be discussed from both a historical and a systematic perspective. Emptiness can be interpreted as “coming” in a two-fold sense: Whereas in the past knowledge of emptiness as it were came to human beings, in the future it is coming insofar as its relevance in the cosmos will increase.The longer and more closely emptiness was studied since the beginning of modernity, the larger became the spaces over which it was found to extend. From a systematic perspective, I will show with regard to the closer cosmic environment that the earth may be separated from the perhaps habitable planets of other stars by an emptiness that is inimical to life and cannot be traversed by humans. This assumption is a result of the discussion of the constraints and possibilities of interstellar space travel as defined by the known natural laws and technical means. With the accelerated expansion of the universe, the distances to other galaxies (outside of the so-called local group) are increasing. According to the current standard model of cosmology and assuming that the acceleration will remain constant, in the distant future this expansion will lead first to a substantial change in the epistemic conditions of cosmological knowledge and finally to the completion of the cosmic emptiness and of its relevance, respectively. Imagining the postulated completely empty last state leads human thought to the very limits of what is conceivable.
Mathematical Modelling of Human African Trypanosomiasis Using Control Measures

Published: October 2018

Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) commonly known as sleeping sickness, is a neglected tropical vector borne disease caused by trypanosome protozoa. It is transmitted by bites of infected tsetse fly. In this paper we first present the vector-host model which describes the general transmission dynamics of HAT. In the tsetse fly population, the HAT is modelled by three compartments while in the human population, the HAT is modelled by four compartments. The next generation matrix approach is used to derive the basic reproduction number, R0, and also it is proved that if R0 ≤ 1 the disease free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, which means the disease dies out. The disease persist in the population if the value of R0 > 1. Furthermore, the optimal control model is determined by using the Pontryagin’s maximum principle with control measures such as education, treatment and insecticides used to optimize the objective function. The model simulations confirm that the use of the three control measures are very efficient and effective to eliminate HAT in Africa.
