Authors: Perdinan Acep , Larasati Yeny Niken
Published: October 2019

Glukomanan porang tersusun dari monomer D-glukosa dan D-manosa dengan ikatan β-1,4. Ayam tidak memiliki enzim yang dapat mencerna ikatan β sehinggaglukomanan porang berpotensi sebagai prebiotik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untukmengamati perubahan konsentrasi short chain fatty acids (SCFA) dan potential Hydrogen (pH) dalam jejunum ayam broiler akibat suplementasi glukomanan porang (GP). Penelitian menggunakan 160 ekor ayam broiler umur 1 hari strain New Lohmann dengan rerata bobot badan 42,39 ± 0,58 gram yang dipelihara selama 35 hari. Percobaan menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan 5 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan @ 8 ekor. Perlakuan berupa T0: ransum basal, T1: ransum basal + 0,05% GP, T2: ransum basal + 0,1% GP, T3: ransum basal + 0,15% GP, dan T4: ransum basal + 0,2% GP. Parameter yang diukur meliputi konsentrasi SCFA antara lain asam asetat, propionat, butirat, dan total SCFA serta pH jejunum. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis ragam (ANOVA) dan dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan (DMRT) pada taraf nyata 5%. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa suplementasi glukomanan porang dalam ransum dapat meningkatkan konsentrasi total SCFA tetapi tidak menyebabkan perubahan pH jejunum ayam broiler.

AGN All the Way Down? AGN-like Line Ratios Are Common in the Lowest-mass Isolated Quiescent Galaxies
Authors: Dickey Claire Mackay , Geha Marla , Wetzel Andrew , El-Badry Kareem
Published: October 2019

We investigate the lowest-mass quiescent galaxies known to exist in isolated environments (

; 1.5 Mpc from a more massive galaxy). This population may represent the lowest stellar mass galaxies in which internal feedback quenches galaxy-wide star formation. We present a Keck/Echelle Spectrograph and Imager long-slit spectroscopy for 27 isolated galaxies in this regime (20 quiescent galaxies and 7 star-forming galaxies). We measure emission line strengths as a function of radius and place galaxies on the Baldwin–Phillips–Terlevich (BPT) diagram. Remarkably, 16 of 20 quiescent galaxies in our sample host central active galactic nucleus (AGN)-like line ratios. Only five of these quiescent galaxies were identified as AGN-like in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey due to a lower spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. We find that many of the quiescent galaxies in our sample have spatially extended emission across the non-star-forming regions of BPT-space. While quenched galaxies in denser environments in this mass range often show no evidence for AGN activity, a significant fraction of quiescent galaxies in isolation host AGNs despite their overall passive appearances.

Published: October 2019

Three new taxa, Rhododendron sohayakiense Y.Watan. & T.Yukawa (Ericaceae), and its two varieties, var. kiusianum Y.Watan., T.Yukawa & T.Minamitani and var. koreanum Y.Watan. & T.Yukawa are described and illustrated from Japan and South Korea. They can be distinguished from each other and from the other members of the R. tschonoskii alliance, i.e. R. tschonoskii, R. tetramerum, R. trinerve and R. tsusiophyllum, through their combination of leaf size, leaf morphologies including lateral nerves on abaxial leaf surface, corolla morphologies including number of corolla lobes, style length and anther form. Phylogenetic inferences based on chloroplast DNA and genome-wide sequences revealed that each of the three new taxa is monophyletic and they further form a clade. Distributions of the three taxa are also clearly separated from each other and also from the other members of the R. tschonoskii alliance.
Analysis of life satisfaction of the elderly population on the example of Sweden, Austria and Germany
Authors: Kutubaeva Rosa Zh.
Published: October 2019

Under the conditions of population ageing, particular interest is paid to the study of life satisfaction in older ages. The purpose of the article is to assess the level of life satisfaction of the population in old age. The main method is econometric modelling using individual data from the Study of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). According to the results of the study, ageing itself does not necessarily worsen one’s perception of life - there is no evidence from Austria and Spain that all people systematically, regardless of the year of birth, go through a stage of a lower level of life satisfaction. An important factor of life satisfaction is health self-assessment.

A new species of Aphyocharax is described from the Maracaçumé river basin, eastern Amazon, based on morphological and molecular data. The new species differs from all its congeners, mainly by possessing the upper caudal-fin lobe longer than the lower one in mature males, and other characters related to teeth counts, colour pattern, and body depth at dorsal-fin origin. In addition, the new species is corroborated by a haplotype phylogenetic analyses based on the Cytochrome B (Cytb) mitochondrial gene, where its haplotypes are grouped into an exclusive lineage, supported by maximum posterior probability value, a species delimitation method termed the Wiens and Penkrot analysis (WP).
Developing and Standardizing an Orientation for Outpatient Charge Nurses
Authors: Andronico Jaclyn , Getting Caroline , Hughes Christen Halley , Ciccolini Kathryn
Published: October 2019

Charge nurses often act as the eyes and ears of the unit. They are leaders, clinical experts, educators, policy enforcers, and patient advocates. They ensure patients and caregivers receive high-quality, safe, and evidence-based care. With the shift in health care from the in-patient to outpatient setting, patients are becoming more acute and complex for staff nurses. Charge nurses are pivotal in the successful care and management of these patients. Unfortunately, charge nurses often receive minimal training and are placed in this role with inadequate preparation and support. This can lead to feelings of anxiety, stress, and dissatisfaction with their job. Providing nurses with structured education about this role can create a safer and more positive work environment. This article discusses the development, implementation, and evaluation of a charge nurse orientation program in the outpatient infusion setting.

Authors: Kotsios Panagiotis , Folinas Dimitrios
Published: October 2019

Road transport is one of the most popular and practical means of freight transport in the world today. However, the cost of road freight transport may differ from one country to the next due to variances in a number of cost factors, including fuels, wages, taxation, tolls, insurance, maintenance, tyres, repairs, parking spaces, etc. The goal of this research was to measure and compare the cost of road freight transport in the 20 European countries with the highest recorded volume of tonne-kilometres, in order to draw conclusions about the cost competitiveness of road freight transport among them. Cost competitiveness in the sample was measured by 4 main cost categories: fuels, drivers' wages, tyres, and tolls. The results show large cost variations between countries. The countries found to have the lowest road freight transport cost were Lithuania, Poland and Bulgaria, and those with the highest costs were Norway, Austria, and the UK. The largest differences in costs were met in tolls and other road taxes, followed by drivers' wages, fuels, and finally tyres.
Novel Class Detection with Concept Drift in Data Stream - AhtNODE
Authors: Gandhi Jay , Gandhi Vaibhav
Published: October 2019

Data stream mining has become an interesting analysis topic and it is a growing interest in data discovery method. There are several applications supporting stream data processing like device network, electronic network, etc. Our approach AhtNODE (Adaptive Hoeffding Tree based NOvel class DEtection) detects novel class in the presence of concept drift in streaming data. It addresses there are three challenges of streaming data: infinite length, concept drift, and concept evolution. This approach automatically detects the novel class whenever it arrives in the data stream. It is a multi-class approach that distinguishes novel class from existing classes. The authors tend to apply the Adaptive Hoeffding Tree as a classification model that is also used to handle the concept drift situation. Previous approaches used the ensemble model to handle concept drift. In AHT, classification is done in the single pass. The experiment result proves the effectiveness of AhtNODE compared to existing ensemble classifier in terms of classification accuracy, speed and use of memory.

Background: The 2014–2016 Ebola outbreak exposed the poor laboratory systems in Sierra Leone. Immense needs were recognised across all areas, from facilities, diagnostic capacity, supplies, trained personnel to quality assurance mechanisms.Objective: We aimed to describe the first year of a comprehensive intervention, which started in 2015, in a public hospital’s general laboratory serving a population of over 500 000 in a rural district.Methods: The intervention focused on (1) supporting local authorities and healthcare workers in policy implementation and developing procedures to enhance access to services, (2) addressing gaps by investing in infrastructure, supplies, and equipment, (3) development of quality assurance mechanisms via mentorship, bench-side training, and the introduction of quality control and information systems. All work was performed alongside counterparts from the Ministry of Health and Sanitation.Results: We observed a strong increase in patient visits and inpatient and outpatient testing volumes. Novel techniques and procedures were taken up well by staff, leading to improved and expanded service and safety, laying foundations for further improvements.Conclusion: This comprehensive approach was successful and the results suggest an increase in trust from patients and healthcare workers.
A short, 8-week course of imiquimod 5% cream versus podophyllotoxin in the treatment of anogenital warts: A retrospective comparative cohort study
Authors: Nicolaidou Electra , Kanelleas Antonios , Nikolakopoulos S. , Bezrodnii G. , Nearchou E. , Gerodimou M. , Papadopoulou-Skordou E. , Paparizos V. , Rigopoulos D.
Published: October 2019

Background:

Studies comparing head-to-head treatment modalities for anogenital warts are lacking.

Aim:

We sought to compare a short, 8-week course of imiquimod 5% cream to versus the standard 4 week course of podophyllotoxin in the treatment of anogenital warts and to assess factors that may affect response to treatment.

Methods:

This was a retrospective cohort study. We reviewed medical files of otherwise healthy patients with a first episode of anogenital warts who were treated with either a short, 8-week course of imiquimod or the standard 4-week course of podophyllotoxin. Inverse probability of treatment weighted (IPTW). Logistic regression was employed to evaluate factors that may affect response to therapy.

Results:

The study included 347 patients. In patients with lesions on dry, keratinized anatomical sites, the complete clearance rates were 7.6% for imiquimod and 27.9% for podophyllotoxin (P < 0.001). In patients with lesions on moist, partially keratinized sites, no difference between the treatments was revealed. Significant predictors of > 50% reduction in wart area were location of lesions [odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval (CI)): 3.6 (1.84–7.08), P = 0.0002] for “partially keratinized” versus “keratinized” sites and treatment used [OR (95% CI): 1.79 (1.08–2.97), P = 0.024] for podophyllotoxin versus imiquimod.

Limitations:

The retrospective design of the study was a limitation that we mitigated against with the use of IPTW logistic regression.

Conclusion:

A standard 4 week course of Podophyllotoxin was more effective than an 8-week course of imiquimod only for lesions on keratinized sites. Treatment with podophyllotoxin and location of lesions on partially keratinized sites were independent predictors of >50% reduction in wart area.

Twenty-five patients (20 males and 5 females) having dermatophytosis with positive potassium hydroxide (KOH) mounts were enrolled in the study. Salicylic acid 30% was applied over the lesions weekly for 4 weeks, thereafter patients were followed up weekly for 4 weeks.

Results:

Of the 25 patients, 22 (88%) patients showed clinical and microbiological cure 1 week after the last application, while the remaining 3 patients were nonresponders. Nine (41%) patients of the 22 responders showed recurrences indicating that 4 weeks’ treatment is not sufficient in some patients to eradicate fungus and may require longer treatment.

Limitations:

A relatively small sample size and lack of long-term follow-up are the shortcomings of our study.

Conclusion:

Salicylic acid peel is a cheap and useful option in the treatment of dermatophytic infection.

Miniature pig as a model for translational therapy – Vagal stimulation and metabolic syndrome

Therapeutic innovation against morbid obesity requires alternate animal models such as the diet induced obese miniature pig. While it does not develop the panel of diseases associated with obesity such as diabetes, atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome, central and peripheral nervous signals are altered similar to humans. These peculiarities make the porcine model of significant interest to study the consequences of chronic vagal stimulation (VNS) on the recovery of the nervous traffic between the gut and the brain. VNS reduced food intake and increased resting energy expenditure resulting in a reduction of weight gain. Insulin sensitivity was recovered as a consequence of improved glucose uptake of key organs for glucose homeostasis. These effects were the consequence of a direct and indirect modulation of limbic networks via a further improvement of mesolimbic dopamine trafficking.
Integrated Engine States Estimation Using Extended Kalman Filter and Disturbance Observer
Authors: Zhu Qilun , Prucka Robert
Published: October 2019

Accurate estimation of engine state(s) is vital for engine control systems to achieve their designated objectives. The fusion of sensors can significantly improve the estimation results in terms of accuracy and precision. This paper investigates using an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to estimate engine state(s) for Spark Ignited (SI) engines with the external EGR system. The EKF combines air path sensors with cylinder pressure feedback through a control-oriented engine cycle domain model. The model integrates air path dynamics, torque generation, exhaust gas temperature, and residual gas mass. The EKF generates a cycle-based estimation of engine state(s) for model-based control algorithms, which is not the focus of this paper. The sensor and noise dynamics are analyzed and integrated into the EKF formulation. To account for ‘non-white’ disturbances including modeling errors and sensor/actuator offset, the EKF engine state(s) observer is augmented with disturbance state(s) estimation. Case studies demonstrate that the disturbance augmented EKF can identify the sources of estimation errors and mitigates these errors automatically within several engine cycles. This paper concludes that the number of disturbance states is required to be the same as the number of sensors to ensure bias-free estimation and observability of the augmented system. Different disturbance state(s) selections are investigated in the case studies. Experimental validation of the proposed observer shows that it estimates unmeasurable engine states, suppresses sensor noise and detects disturbance sources. Successful implementation to rapid prototype engine controller also indicates high computational efficiency of the algorithm.
Eco-Driving Strategies for Different Powertrain Types and Scenarios

Published: October 2019

Connected automated vehicles (CAVs) are quickly becoming a reality, and their potential ability to communicate with each other and the infrastructure around them has big potential impacts on future mobility systems. Perhaps one of the most important impacts could be on network wide energy consumption. A lot of research has already been performed on the topic of eco-driving and the potential fuel and energy consumption benefits for CAVs. However, most of the efforts to date have been based on simulation studies only, and have only considered conventional vehicle powertrains. In this study, experimental data is presented for the potential eco-driving benefits of two specific intersection approach scenarios, for four different powertrain types.

The two intersection approach scenarios considered in this study include an approach to a red light where coming to a complete stop is avoidable (short red light) and one where a complete stop is determined necessary (long red light) thanks to advance information from vehicle-to-infrastructure communication (V2I). The four powertrain types tested in this study include an advanced conventional vehicle, a conventional vehicle with idle stop-start capability, a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), and a battery electric vehicle (BEV). The experimental results are compared to simulation results for the same intersection approach scenarios and eco-driving strategies, and show the difference in benefits for different powertrain types. Based on the eco-approach strategies for these two scenarios, a maximum fuel/energy consumption benefit of almost 8% was observed for the intersection with a short red light and almost 20% for the intersection with a long red light, in both cases by the HEV.

Corpos que falam: Biopolítica e saúde LGBTQI
Authors: Bitante Fernandes Luís Antonio
Published: October 2019

Numa leitura dos corpos, com base nas contribuições foucaultianas sobre a biopolítica, este artigo tem por objetivo discutir as vozes corporais das identidades dissidentes, em seus processos de transexualização. Identidades trans como expressões legítimas do ser humano, em modos de ser de seus corpos ditos não normais. Em análise de depoimentos em investigações realizadas com pessoa trans, propomos o debate na perspectiva de dispositivos, como máquinas que estabelecem e misturam, gerando sentidos na sociedade. Discursos constituem os seus objetos, como práticas que sistematicamente dão forma aos objetos sobre os quais falam. A linguagem é performativa, além de denotar e conotar. O trabalho de desconstrução contrassexual rompe com toda uma série de binômios oposicionais e põe fim à natureza como sujeição dos corpos, o que supõe que o sexo e a sexualidade (e não somente o gênero) devem compreender-se como tecnologias sociopolíticas.

Delivering risk and crisis communication to US Gulf Coast residents poses a unique challenge to individual and organizational responders. The region has endured several natural and man-made disasters, spanning Hurricane Katrina, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and more recently Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. In the future, the US Gulf Coast is expected to remain susceptible to a range of disasters. At the same time, the region is experiencing a growing population, struggles with systemic disparities between residents, and is home to major energy, tourism, fishing, and shrimping industries. Engaging in pre-crisis planning with vulnerable populations, and assessing response strategies, can help the region prepare for future disasters.In support of understanding vulnerabilities in the US Gulf Coast, the authors conducted a survey in 2016 of n = 2,520 adult residents of the targeted geographic region. The authors examine how demographic characteristics affect communication channel preferences (ie, television, Internet, print [newspapers, magazines], radio, word-of-mouth, or another specified channel) and trust in sources (ie, the national news media, local news media, business leaders and organizations, religious leaders and institutions, academics and academic institutions, friends and family, and doctors) in the US Gulf Coast. Weighted prevalence estimates or similar summary statistics (mean, standard deviation) are provided for both outcomes. Findings for channel preferences and trust in sources are examined by sex, race/ethnicity, age, and education. Weighted multinomial logistic regression is used in a multivariate model. Weighted linear regression is used to examine differences in trust in each source of information. Results highlight significant differences in channel preferences and trust across respondents. The authors also place these results in context to more readily accessible national estimates of these outcomes, emphasizing takeaways for the region.

Abstract. Alpine streams are particularly valuable for downstream water resources and for ecosystem conservation. However, the details of where and when water is stored and released in the heterogeneous mountain environment are rarely known. The use of physico-chemical flow path tracers is particularly challenging due to the temporary accumulation and storage of water in the form of snow and ice. Alternatively, biological tracers might complement information on flow and storage of water, especially as the different microhabitats in Alpine aquatic systems are inhabited by characteristic organismal communities. In this study, we explored the potential of particles of environmental DNA found in the water (eDNA) to characterize hydrological flow paths and connectivity in an Alpine catchment in Switzerland. Between March and September 2017, we sampled water at multiple time points at 11 sites distributed over the 13.4 km2 Vallon de Nant catchment for genetic species information based on naturally occurring eDNA. The sites correspond to three different water source types and habitats (main channel, tributaries, and springs). Comparison of typical hydrological tracers and eDNA with temporal evolution of streamflow revealed that in the main channel and in the tributaries, the change in streamflow, dq/dt, is strongly correlated with biological richness. In springs, electrical conductivity was found to have a positive but not as strong correlation with biological richness. At the catchment scale, our results show that biological richness as indicated by the diversity detected by eDNA samples. When streamflow is increasing, transport of additional, and probably terrestrial, DNA into water storage or flow compartments is occurring. Such processes include overbank flow, stream network expansion and retraction, and hyporheic exchange. In general, our results highlight the importance of considering the at-site sampling habitat in combination with upstream connected habitats to understand how streams integrate eDNA over a catchment and to interpret spatially distributed eDNA samples, both for hydrological and biodiversity assessments. We identify next steps to be addressed to use eDNA as an independent tracer of Alpine water sources and we provide recommendations for future observation of eDNA in Alpine stream ecosystems.
Preguntas y respuestas sobre la gestación por sustitución: los estudios de opinión pública a revisión
Authors: Rodríguez-Jaume María José , González-Río María José , Jareño-Ruiz Diana
Published: October 2019

La gestación por sustitución es una práctica reproductiva que suscita una enorme controversia social, bioética, política y mediática pues socava los pilares canónicos que sostienen la institución familiar. En este artículo presentamos una revisión bibliográfica o Scoping Review de 29 artículos científicos que recogen estudios de opinión sobre esta materia. En ellos se aprecia la desaprobación social que, mayoritariamente, suscita la gestación por sustitución. Desde una perspectiva temporal, la tendencia es hacia su mayor aceptación. La población elige técnicas de reproducción asistida que garanticen el vínculo genético y que no impliquen la participación de terceros. En este sistema de preferencias, la subrogación es relegada socialmente al último lugar. Un número reducido de trabajos realizan análisis explicativos sobre los determinantes del nivel de aceptación de la subrogación. Temas controvertidos, como la subrogación comercial o cerrada, son escasamente incorporados en las encuestas de opinión pública. Cuando se interroga sobre la representación social de la mujer gestante, los marcos adoptados reproducen la imagen que proyectan los medios de comunicación obviando los hallazgos presentados tanto por la investigación etnográfica como por la interesada en evaluar los resultados de los acuerdos de subrogación. Los estudios de opinión enmarcan, mayoritariamente, la opinión de la población en un contexto médico. Los artículos que indagan sobre el grado de aceptación de la subrogación por causas “sociales” son excepcionales, a pesar de que el propio desarrollo de las técnicas de reproducción asistida se produce paralelamente a la emergencia de nuevas formas familiares.
Employment rate and market sector occupation of graduates in translation and interpreting at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
Authors: Galán-Mañas Anabel
Published: October 2019

This article presents the results of a market study into graduate employment for graduates in Translation and Interpreting from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), Spain. Based on students who have graduated in the last 10 years, the study analyses the trajectory of their academic studies, employment status and identifies factors which influence having a career related to their university studies as well as income level. The results show that there is a high level of employment among these graduates with an average income level. They also illustrate that many of the subjects participating opted to continue their university studies after their B.A. in Translation and Interpreting. Positive influencing factors on earnings levels are overeducation and having participated in study abroad programmes. The kind of work graduates do is quite diverse and to some degree is closer to transversality common to applied language studies and international relations, than the specifics of translation and interpreting.
