Limit Cycles and Bifurcations in a Class of Discontinuous Piecewise Linear Systems
Authors: Li Tao
Published: September 2019

In this paper, we consider planar piecewise linear differential systems with a line of discontinuity sharing a linear part. We study not only the number of crossing limit cycles, but also the number of sliding ones, and the coexistence of two configurations of limit cycles. In particular, we proved that both numbers of crossing limit cycles and sliding ones are at most [Formula: see text], but the total number of limit cycles is at most [Formula: see text]. Finally, by complete analysis on the number of limit cycles, we show some bifurcations which exist in generic Filippov systems, revealing also two nongeneric bifurcations.
How Much Did Baseball’s Antitrust Exemption Cost Bob Gibson?
Authors: Berri David J. , Krautmann Anthony C.
Published: September 2019

Major League Baseball was granted an exemption to antitrust laws in 1922 by the Supreme Court. This exemption led to the creation of a monopsonistic labor market that prevented baseball players from fielding offers from other organizations once that player signed with any Major League Baseball team. Economic theory predicts that such a market would reduce a worker’s wage below a worker’s marginal revenue product. The question this study seeks to address is how much wage depression existed before the introduction of free agency in baseball in 1976. Specifically, we will examine the Hall-of-Fame career of Bob Gibson, a career that ended in 1975. Our examination will not only explore the standard approach economists have used to answer this question for more than forty years but also a simpler approach that gives a more realistic answer to the question.
“I’m Not Your ‘Typical’ Military Wife”: The Construction of Gender and Agency Through Stereotypes
Authors: Ziff Elizabeth , Garland-Jackson Felicia
Published: September 2019

Within the institution and military community, civilian wives of service members occupy complicated roles. On the one hand, wives are undisputedly crucial to the functioning of their service member husbands. However, wives are simultaneously considered subordinate to their husbands within the military and extended community. Indicative of this attitude are the divisive stereotypes of military wives that range from lazy and irresponsible, to overly rank-conscious and entitled. Based on combined in-depth interviews from two samples of military wives, this article investigates how the women navigate the military spouse role within the institutional, community-oriented context of the military. Specifically, we ask, how do these women construct gender and exercise agency when drawing on the stereotypes of wives within the community? By utilizing such mechanisms as symbolic boundary work, gender policing, and stereotyping, women both reify stereotypes of the military spouse and exert agency in creating the military spouse identity for themselves.
Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Peripheral Arterial Disease: Current Evidence
Authors: Xia Yunyan , You Kai , Xiong Yuanping , Jiang Hongqun
Published: September 2019

Introduction:

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is associated with atherosclerosis. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a manifestation of atherosclerosis in lower extremity arteries. No systematic review addressing the relationship between PAD and SDB was found. We performed this study aimed to summarize the relationship between SDB and PAD described in current clinical studies.

Material and Methods:

PubMed and Embase electronic databases were searched for clinical articles (published before 3 April, 2019) describing studies that evaluated the association between SDB and PAD. We showed the results involved in the association in clinical studies.

Results:

In total, 8 clinical studies have been included, and most of them were cross-sectional studies. Six articles demonstrated the coexistence of SDB and PAD, evidenced by high prevalence of SDB in patients with PAD and vice versa. Meanwhile, the included studies exhibited independent positive associations between SDB or sleep parameters and PAD after adjusting for multiple confounders.

Conclusion:

From present clinical prospective, positive association between SDB and PAD was shown. More prospective, randomized controlled studies are needed to establish the cause–effect relationships involved.

Compressive properties of co-continuous hollow glass microsphere/epoxy resin syntactic foams prepared using resin transfer molding
Authors: Ding Junjie , Liu Qiang , Ye Feng , Zhang Haoqian , Gao Ye , Zhang Biao
Published: September 2019

In this article, the co-continuous hollow glass microspheres (HGMs)/epoxy resin syntactic foams were prepared by filling the HGM preforms with epoxy resin. The effects of HGM wall thickness and solid loading on the density, open porosity, and morphology of HGM preform and HGM/epoxy resin syntactic foams were studied in detail. The results show that the HGM wall thickness had no effect on the open porosity of HGM preforms. However, the density of preforms increased with the true density of HGMs. The density of HGM/epoxy resin syntactic foams decreased with the contents of HGMs, and the measured density was essentially equal to the theoretical density. The compressive strength decreased with the contents of HGM, regardless of the HGMs wall thickness. However, the variation in compressive modulus was related to the HGMs’ wall thickness. As the HGM solid loading increased, the compressive modulus of composites, prepared using thin-walled HGMs, decreased, while the composites prepared using thick-walled HGMs showed the opposite trend. The co-continuous HGM/epoxy resin syntactic foams possessed low density (0.567–1.002 g/cm3), and excellent compressive strengths (30.32–131.60 MPa). These properties were due to the elimination of matrix pores, and are a type of promising material in deep sea exploration area.

To promote safe and positive health outcomes by utilizing culturally relevant evidence-based interventions for immigrant and refugee women survivors of intimate partner violence, their active participation in research is critical. With 43.6 million immigrants and refugees living in the United States, there is a need for research studies to eliminate health disparities in these populations. However, barriers to recruiting and retaining these populations in research prevent the provision of quality and culturally informed services to meet their needs. The aim of this article is to discuss the recruitment and retention strategies employed and analyze the methodological and ethical challenges in the context of the weWomen Study. The use of a multifaceted approach informed by best practices maximized recruitment efforts and active participation that generated high numbers of immigrant and refugee women participants. The study also substantiated the need for more community-based participatory approaches to engage community members in the development of culturally appropriate approaches that instill a sense of ownership over the research process. Active research participation of immigrant and refugee survivors will help investigators understand their unique needs and facilitate the implementation of targeted evidence-based interventions.
Three-dimensional waypoint following for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles in obstacle-filled environments
Authors: Singh Nikhil Kumar , Hota Sikha
Published: September 2019

The paper computes optimal paths for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles with bounded turn radii to follow a series of waypoints with specified directions in a three-dimensional obstacle-filled environment. In the existing literature, it was proved that the optimal path is of circular turn–straight line–circular turn (CSC) type for two consecutive waypoint configurations, when the points are sufficiently far apart and there is no obstacle in the field. The maximum of all minimum turn radii corresponding to all possible two-dimensional circular maneuvers was used for both the initial and final turns to develop the CSC-type paths. But, this paper considers the minimum turn radii for initial and final turns, corresponding to the maneuvering planes and which produces shorter CSC-type paths. In an obstacle-filled environment the shortest path may collide with obstacles, so a strategy is proposed to switch to the next best path that does not collide with obstacles. Using this technique, a series of waypoints is followed in the presence of obstacles of different types, for example, cylindrical, hemispherical, and spherical in shapes with different sizes. Finally, simulation results are presented to show the efficiency of the algorithm for obstacle avoidance. The computation time listed here indicates the potentiality of this algorithm for implementation in real time.
Scientists vs laypeople: How genetically modified food is discussed on a Chinese Q&A website
Authors: Liang Jingjing , Liu Ximing , Zhang Weiyu
Published: September 2019

This study examines messages contributed by scientists and laypeople to an online discussion about genetically modified food in China with the aim to understand whether and how scientists and laypeople apply different communication strategies with regard to framing, interaction features, and writing style. Both answers ( N = 100) and comments ( N = 2416) related to genetically modified food on Zhihu, the most popular social Q&A site in China, were analyzed. The analysis reveals that though there were no significant attitude differences between scientists and laypeople, the two groups tended to frame genetically modified food from quite different perspectives. Also, although scientist users were not perfect rationalists during online discussions, they were more likely to be both high-quality content contributors and active discussion facilitators.
Global value chains and policy practice: The making of linkages in the Ivorian cashew industry
Authors: Tessmann Jannes
Published: September 2019

The global value chain framework has gained increasing prominence as a policy tool for resource-based industrialization. Focusing on synergies between the commodity-producing and related manufacturing and service sectors, value chain interventions assume that buyer-supplier linkages facilitate the upgrading of local industries. This study investigates these synergistic assumptions in the context of the Ivorian cashew industry. The Ivorian case exemplifies how the value chain concept, with its associated focus on local-global linkages, has placed collaboration with foreign lead firms at the heart of the industrial policy agenda. While these collective arrangements are crucial for negotiating inter-firm relationships along global value chains, this study finds little evidence that they have initiated upgrading for local industries. Instead, the emergence of foreign buyers as strategic partners for policy-makers has created opportunities for these lead actors to reinforce their dominant position, stemming from access to finance and technology.
Another One Bites the Dust: Recurrent Procurement Contracts in the Czech Republic
Authors: Plaček Michal , Soukopová Jana , Vaceková Gabriela , Ochrana František , Schmidt Martin
Published: September 2019

This article deals with the phenomenon of repeated contracts, specifically the effect of trust in public contracts. Our main objective is to identify the factors that influence the concluding of repeated contracts and to verify whether repeated contracts lead to increases in prices. We use a complex dataset of public procurement of municipalities in the Czech Republic for the period of 2014-2017, which covers more than 4,000 public contracts. This range of data allows a larger number of variables to be applied, including specific independent variables concerning municipalities, such as the size of the municipality. The data allow us to study this subject by means of both a general model tested on all public contracts and a partial model applied to public works. The presented results of quantitative econometric models from the data obtained from the awards of public contracts in the municipalities of the Czech Republic show that the fact of whether it was a repeated contract or a contract performed by a new (unknown to a contracting authority) supplier affected the chance of winning a contract.

I argue that traditional models of student success should emphasize socialization that empowers students of color in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) while developing their self-concept, science identity, and self-efficacy. In-depth interviews with 58 STEM students and faculty across four universities in the Southwest who participate in a federally funded STEM education program reveal alternative cultural spaces that can be described as emancipatory and transformative that attract and engage students of color and help them thrive in STEM education.
Does Future Orientation Moderate the Relationship Between Impulse Control and Offending? Insights From a Sample of Serious Young Offenders
Authors: Petrich Damon M. , Sullivan Christopher J.
Published: September 2019

Researchers have recently begun to examine motivational factors as moderators of the relationship between self-control and offending behavior. The current study extends prior work by investigating whether three aspects of future orientation (aspirations, expectations, and the use of future-oriented cognitive and behavioral strategies) play such a role. Drawing on 7 years of data from the Pathways to Desistance study ( N = 1,333), we use hybrid effects negative binomial regression models to assess how within-individual changes in future orientation and impulse control are independently and jointly related to the offending variety of serious young offenders. Although impulse control and three components of future orientation had significant main effects on offending, no interaction between these components emerged in our results. Implications for future research are discussed.
Rethinking China’s global ‘propaganda’ blitz
Authors: Hartig Falk
Published: September 2019

China’s global communication activities are mainly perceived as sinister propaganda to mislead international audiences, and related discussions exemplify Western unease about China’s global communication efforts. While not trivializing these efforts, this article objects to some of the assessments and argues in favour of a critical but open-minded engagement with China’s global communication activities. Such an approach should pay attention to potential audiences and should closely scrutinize the real-life circumstances of China’s communicative practices and put them into perspective for its audiences. The article highlights these aspects by analysing the screening of a video in New York City’s Times Square in Summer 2016 and one version of the China Daily supplement, China Watch.

Ein neues Kalorimeter, seine thermischen Eigenschaften und die Bestimmung seines Wasserwertes werden beschrieben. Das silberne Kalorimetergefäß ist von einem Luft-strom umspült, der die konstant gehaltene Temperatur eines das Ganze umgebenden Aluminiumblockes besitzt. Die Konvergenztemperatur bleibt während vieler Stunden auf 0,0002° genau konstant, und auch die nach Erwärmung bzw. Abkühlung des Kalori-meters auftretende zeitliche'Temperaturänderung (Gang) ist genau reproduzierbar und kann als Funktion der Kalorimetertemperatur ein für allemal bestimmt werden. Zur Messung des Wasserwertes wird dem Kalorimeter durch einen Heizkörper eine aus Spannung, Widerstand und Zeit zu berechnende Wärmemenge zugeführt und die auf-tretende Temperaturerhöhung, mittels des bekannten Ganges auf Adiabasie korrigiert, bestimmt. Die Genauigkeit der Wasserwertbestimmung liegt bei 1‰.

Über den Beginn des Geiger-Bereichs bei Methan-Zählern
Authors: Neuer Hugo
Published: September 2019

Bekanntlich wächst in einem Proportionalzählrohr die Impulsamplitude von a-Teilchen im wirklichen Propor-tionalbereich exponentiell mit der Spannung an. Im sich anschließenden beschränkten Proportionalbereich steigt die Amplitudenkurve dann infolge der Raumladung all-mählich immer langsamer mit der Spannung an, während die Impulsgröße von /^-Teilchen im gesamten Propor-tionalbereich im allgemeinen (bei mäßigen Drucken im Zählrohr) keine Raumladungsbegrenzung erfährt. Die Spannung, bei der a-und /5-Teilchen die gleiche Impuls-größe im Zähler hervorrufen, nennt man die Anfangs-spannung des Geiger-Bereichs. In den normalen Fällen, z. B. beim Argon-Alkohol-Zähler mit nicht zu starkem Alkohol-Anteil, geht die Entladungsform in diesem Punkt eindeutig von der Lawinen-Entladung in die Ionen-schlauchentladung über, die dann von der Natur des den Impuls auslösenden Teilchens unabhängig ist.

Es wird diskutiert, welche Minimum-Annahmen von der klassischen Thermodynamik zum N e r n s t sehen Theorem führen. N e r n s t hatte geglaubt bewiesen zu haben, daß das Verschwinden der spezifischen Wärmen zusammen mit dem zweiten Hauptsatz genügt, um sein Theorem abzuleiten. Sein Beweisgang und die Einwände gegen ihn werden besprochen.

Es wird dann gezeigt, daß ein System von Substanzen mit verschwindenden spezifischen Wärmen, aber nicht verschwindenden Entropiedifferenzen, äußerst merkwürdige Eigenschaften aufweisen würde; z. B. könnte eine Substanz trotz verschwindender spezifischer Wärme einen endlichen thermischen Ausdehnungskoeffizienten behalten. Es wird an einem speziellen Fall, dem des entartenden, idealen Gases, dargelegt, daß ein dem Virial-Theorem verwandter, ganz allgemeiner Satz genügt, um ein derartiges Verhalten auszuschließen. Schließlich wird die Frage aufgeworfen, ob nicht dieser Beweis für alle möglichen Systeme in Abhängigkeit von allen möglichen Parametern verallgemeinert werden könnte.
Comparative evaluation of the effects of different methods of post space preparation in primary anterior teeth on the fracture resistance of tooth restorations
Authors: Seraj Bahman , Ghadimi Sara , Najafpoor Ebrahim , Abdolalian Fatemeh , khanmohammadi razieh
Published: September 2019

Background. Severely damaged teeth do not have adequate structure to support the composite crown; therefore, use of the canal space has been suggested to increase retention. Furthermore, the effect of post space irrigation protocols on the fracture resistance of the primary anterior teeth has not definitely been studied in postoperative modalities. This study compared the fracture resistance of restorations of primary anterior teeth following irrigation of the post space with sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine with and without application of burs. Methods. Ninety-four extracted primary anterior teeth were selected. Root canal treatments were carried out, 4 mm of the post space was left empty and 1 mm was regarded as a bed. The post space was prepared with and without a bur and the irrigation procedures were carried out with 0.2% chlorhexidine and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite solutions. Composite posts were inserted into the canals and the crowns were restored. Following composite etching and light-curing, the fracture resistance of the restored teeth was determined by a universal testing machine. Results. In the sodium hypochlorite group, fracture resistance of the teeth was 376.8±107.29 N and 475.5±186.89 N without and with bur preparation, respectively. For chlorhexidine protocol, the values were 370.88±175.46 N and 430.85±178.22 N without and with bur preparation, respectively. The effect of irrigating material was not significant; however, the bur and irrigating preparation significantly increased the fracture resistance of the restored teeth (P=0.02). Conclusion. Post space irrigation with 0.2% chlorhexidine or 2.5% sodium hypochlorite did not significantly affect the fracture resistance of primary anterior teeth in the post treatment modality.

Published: September 2019

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRS) in healthy goats on the Island of Tenerife, Spain, as well as to identify the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of the strains found. A cross-sectional prevalence study was conducted. A total of 158 goats from 15 different farms were sampled between September 2017 and January 2018. The percentage of positive samples of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was 15.8% (25/158) and that of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCoNS) was 6.9% (11/158). All MRSA isolates from goats belonged to one clonal group showing Multi-Locus Sequence type 398. All strains studied (n = 36) were resistant to non-carbapenem beta-lactam antibiotics and susceptible to teicoplanin, linezolid, vancomycin, rifampicin, quinupristin-dalfospristin and mupirocine. In MRSA isolates, the highest percentage of resistance obtained, besides beta-lactam non-carbapenem antibiotics, was to trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole and, in the case of MRCoNS isolates, to phosphomycin and erythromycin. A total of 12 resistance patterns were obtained, presenting differences between patterns obtained for MRSA and MRCoNS, with 7 different patterns for MRSA and 5 for MRCoNS. We therefore consider it essential to expand the epidemiological study of these strains of animal origin, as well as to increase surveillance and control measures at all stages of the food chain.
Covering morphisms of topological internal groupoids
Authors: MUCUK Osman , AKIZ Hürmet Fulya
Published: September 2019

Let $X$ be a topological group with operations whose underlying space has a universal cover. Then the fundamental groupoid $\pi X$ becomes a topological internal groupoid, i.e., an internal groupoid in the category of topological groups. In this paper, we prove that the slice category $\text{Cov}_{sTC}/X$ of covering morphisms $p:\tilde{X}\rightarrow X$ of topological groups with operations in which $\tilde{X}$ has also a universal cover and the category $\text{Cov}_{Gpd(TC)}/\pi X$ of covering morphisms $q:\tilde{G}\rightarrow \pi X $ of topological internal groupoids based on $\pi X$ are equivalent. We also prove that for a topological internal groupoid $G$, the category $\text{Cov}_{Gpd(TC)}/G$ of covering morphisms of topological internal groupoids based on $G$ and the category $\text{ACT}_{Gpd(TC)}/G$ of topological internal groupoid actions of $G$ on topological groups with operations are equivalent.

EM BUSCA DA "VERDADE REAL": TORTURA E CONFISSÃO NO BRASIL ONTEM E HOJE
Authors: Vargas Joana Domingues
Published: September 2019

Resumo: Meu ponto de partida, neste ensaio, são as diferenças nas formas de investigação no Brasil e na Inglaterra analisadas com base em um relato de um viajante estrangeiro do século XIX contendo a visão do autor sobre a administração da justiça na cidade do Rio de Janeiro informada pela experiência de um furto. Nele procuro mostrar a permanência e persistência de uma crença epistemológica sobre o valor da confissão e da tortura que ainda informam as práticas de produção da verdade no Brasil contemporâneo. Uma das razões desta permanência é a investigação poder ser apresentada, nos relatos juridicamente orientados, como ela deveria ser e não como ela é realizada efetivamente. Este achado tem implicação para o debate atual sobre a necessidade de simplificação da investigação criminal no Brasil.

Narrative Innovation in Dubliners and James Joyce’s Exilic Experience
Authors: Yu Chenglin
Published: September 2019

James Joyce’s Dubliners betrays a narrative innovative tendency towards the restriction of point of view, which means the narration tends to unfold through the character’s point of view without omniscient interference. After examining the short stories in the context of their creation, we assert that Joyce’s exile and Dubliners’s censorship mostly account for this formal innovation. Further exploration shows that the restriction of point of view is actually a narrative strategy Joyce deploys to convey his ambiguous and ambivalent feelings towards his homeland and compatriots triggered by his exilic experience.
Saward’s Concept of the Representative Claim Revisited: An Empirical Perspective
Authors: Guasti Petra , Geissel Brigitte
Published: September 2019

Representation is a process of making, accepting, or rejecting representative claims (Disch, 2015; Saward, 2014). This groundbreaking insight challenged the standard assumption that representative democracy can be reduced to elections and activities of elected representatives (Pitkin, 1967). It broadened the scope of representative democracy to encompass representation activities beyond those authorized by elections, transformed our thinking and provided a new perspective, putting claims and their reception into the center. This paradigm shift erased the distinction between elected and non-elected representatives and disclosed the potential of non-elected actors’ claims to represent (Andeweg, 2003; Kuyper, 2016; Rosanvallon & Goldhammer, 2008; Saward, 2006, 2009; Van Biezen & Saward, 2008). In spite of this lively debate, we identify an important gap in the literature: while this paradigmatic shift inspired many authors, conceptual frameworks that can be applied for systematic empirical analysis of real-life cases are missing. In this article, we fill this gap and propose frameworks for assessing and validating a variety of real-life claims. Our study provides empirical substance to the ongoing theoretical debates, helping to translate the mainly theoretical ‘claim approach’ into empirical research tools. It helps to transform the conventional wisdom about what representation can (not) be and shines a new light on the potential future of (claims on) representation.
Constraints on the dark energy with barotropic equation of state: assessing the importance of different observations
Authors:   Astronomical Observatory, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Sergijenko O.
Published: September 2019

For dynamical dark energy with the barotropic equation of state we determine the mean values of parameters and their confidence ranges together with other cosmological parameters on the basis of different combined datasets. The used observations include Planck data on CMB temperature anisotropy, E-mode polarisation and lensing, BICEP2/Keck Array data on B-mode polarisation, BAO from SDSS and 6dFGS, power spectrum of galaxies from WiggleZ, weak lensing from CFHTLenS and SN Ia data from the JLA compilation. We find that all but one mean models are phantom, mean values of the equation of state parameter at current epoch are close to −1 and constraints on the adiabatic sound speed of dark energy are weak. We investigate the effect of CMB polarisation data on the dark energy parameters estimation. We discuss also which type of data on the large scale structure of the Universe allows to determine the dark energy parameters most precisely.

Published: September 2019

Purpose: The aim of present study was to determine the changes in the incidence of cancer in Bingöl which is in the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics- 2 (NUTS-2) region, and to perform survival analysis on these patients.Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study and the data was obtained from the Ministry of Health's Cancer Registry System. We examined the data of 977 cancer cases diagnosed between year 2013 and 2015 Results: 28.7% of the patients died during the follow-up period. 30% of all cancers originated from the digestive system. The cancers of lung, stomach, colon, prostate and skin are the mostly seen in the male patients, the cancers of breast, thyroid and skin are the mostly seen in the female patients. The incidence of cancer is increasing over the years and the cancer incidence rate is higher in men. The mean follow-up period was 388 days in died patients and 1541 days in alive patients. The risk of death is increasing in the patients not undergoing surgery (RR = 2.779, HR = 3.048). In addition, the risk of death is decreasing in the patients not receiving chemotherapy (RR = 0.656, HR = 0.340). The risk of death is increasing in the patients with advanced age and the male patients.Conclusion: The incidence of cancer is increasing. Further indepth and wider research is needed to shed more light on these findings

Susu sebagai suplemen makanan sering digunakan oleh peternak untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan. Untuk menekan biaya produksi, diperlukan bahan pakan alternatif yang murah dan tidak bersaing dengan kebutuhan manusia, maka digunakanlah susu afkir yaitu susu sapi dalam kemasan yang telah ditolak oleh pabrik dengan kondisi fisik dan nutrisi yang masih baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian susu afkir pada konsentrasi 5% dan 10% dalam campuran pakan terhadap jumlah eritrosit, kadar hemoglobin (Hb), dan nilai Packed Cell Volume (PCV) anak babi crossbreed jantan lepas sapih. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 3 perlakuan dan 9 ulangan, dengan total 27 sampel darah. Kelompok ternak babi sebagai kontrol (P0) yang diberi pakan standar (CP-550),  kelompok ternak babi yang diberi pakan standar (CP-550) dikombinasikan dengan susu afkir 5% (P1), dan kelompok ternak babi yang diberi pakan standar (CP-550) dikombinasikan dengan susu afkir 10% (P2). Data hasil pemeriksaan dianalisis menggunakan uji sidik ragam (ANOVA), untuk melihat pengaruh antar perlakuan dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan. Pemberian susu afkir dengan konsentrasi 5% (P1) dalam pakan dapat meningkatkan jumlah eritrosit dan kadar hemoglobin secara nyata dan tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap nilai PCV, serta pemberian susu afkir dengan konsentrasi 10% (P2) tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap jumlah eritrosit, kadar hemoglobin, dan nilai PCV pada anak babi crossbreed jantan lepas sapih.

Background: The compressive strength of orthodontic tooth movement will be distributed throughout the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, resulting in bone resorption on the pressure side and new bone formation on the tension side. Caffeine, a member of the methyl xanthine family, represents a widely-consumed psychoactive substance that can stimulate osteoclastogenesis through an increase in RANKL. A 3D Micro-Computed Tomography (µ-CT) x-ray device can be used to measure orthodontic tooth movement and changes in periodontal ligament width. Purpose: The purpose of this research was to analyze the effects of caffeine on the distal movement distance of two mandibular incisors using 3D µ-CT. Methods: The research subjects (guinea pigs) were randomly divided into four groups. Of the two control groups created, one received two weeks of treatment and the other three weeks. The members of these two control groups were subjected to orthodontic movement but received no caffeine. Meanwhile, the other two groups were treatment groups whose members also received either two or three weeks of treatment. In these two treatment groups, the subjects were subjected to orthodontic movement and received a 6 mg/500 BM dose of caffeine. The orthodontic movement of the subjects was induced by installing a band matrix and orthodontic bracket on each mandibular incisor to move distally by means of an open coil spring. Observations were then conducted on days 15 and 22 with µ-CT x-rays to measure the distal movement distance of the two mandibular incisors and the width of the periodontal ligament. Results: The administration of caffeine increased the tooth movement on day 15 (p<0.05) and day 22 (p<0.05). The increase in the tooth movement on day 22 was greater than that on day 15 (p<0.05). The width of the periodontal ligament on the pressure side of the treatment groups experienced greater narrowing than that of the control groups (p<0.05). Meanwhile, the width of periodontal ligament on the tension side of the treatment groups widened more than that of the control groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: µ-CT x-ray can be used to evaluate the extent of orthodontic movement in addition to the width of the mandibular incisor periodontal ligament during orthodontic tooth movement. Moreover, it has been established that the administering of caffeine can improve orthodontic tooth movement.

This research identifies deportement and concept of death from Abdul Hadi WM's poetry. Descriptive method and semiotic-structural approach were used in this research.  Descriptive method used to identifies and analyze the research object to present systematic, factual, and accurate facts and concept from its population (Dirjen Dikti, 1981: 14.) Semiotic-structural approach is used to reveal the labelling system based on elements from the poetry--that is related to each other and forms one unity of organism. By analyzing Abdul Hadi WM's poem (139 poem titles), can be concluded that (1) Abdul Hadi WM poems were built from its choose of dictions, ryhimes, arrays, and typhography so that it creates death-theme sign and (2) Abdul Hadi WM is a religious poet that can describe and write his deportment about death with subtle but strong words.

Background: Mass drug administration (MDA) with praziquantel has been the mainstay for schistosomiasis control in endemic countries. To evaluate the effects of repeated MDA, we compared urogenital schistosomiasis prevalence at two localities in White Nile State, Sudan: Al Jabalain with previous MDA and El Salam without previous MDA. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out to examined the prevalence and intensity of Schistosoma haematobium infection using urine samples from 10,644 primary school-aged children (SAC) of two localities at the baseline survey, and then a single dose of 40 mg/kg praziquantel was mass administered to whole SAC of both localities. Of the total, 3,197 SAC of sentinel schools were examined urine samples at 8 months after the MDA. Results: The overall prevalence of S. haematobium infection was 5.5% in Al Jabalain and 27.5% in El Salam at the baseline survey. In sentinel schools, the prevalences in Al Jabalain and El Salam were significantly reduced after MDA, 80.3% and 84.4% respectively, not significant between two localities. The geometric mean intensity (GMI) of egg counts from the infected children at the baseline survey was 14.5 eggs per 10 mL of urine (EP10) in Al Jabalain and 18.5 EP10 in El Salam. At the follow-up survey, the GMI reduction rate was significantly reduced, 51.0% in Al Jabalain and 39.5% in El Salam, however the infection intensity after MDA was reduced significantly less in SAC who had higher baseline prevalence and infection intensity. The overall intensity of infection was significantly reduced after MDA in girls, but not in boys. Conclusions: Single MDA produces a similar prevalence reduction regardless of endemicity but less reduction of infection intensity in highly endemic populations. It is necessary to implement repeated MDAs to eliminate urogenital schistosomiasis in endemic regions..
