In the face of climate change, warming oceans, and repeated mass coral bleaching, coral reef conservation is at a timely crossroads. There is a new urgency to support and strengthen a rich history of conservation partnerships and actions, while also building toward new actions to meet unparalleled global threats. The goal of this white paper is to synthesize and summarize the diversity of tools, approaches and solutions for coral reef conservation implemented to date and to understand the enabling conditions that lead to successful coral reef conservation. Framed as a “solution-scape,” this white paper seeks to support ongoing decisions to strengthen existing assets and build new investments into portfolios of global coral reef conservation that are equitable and aligned with diverse cultures and worldviews. We conclude with 10 recommendations that focus on equitable conservation practices that will align successful interventions with diverse cultures and worldviews, help ensure that the right decisions are made, and strengthen investments into conservation portfolios that will lead to successful coral reef conservation.
Attentional control in subclinical anxiety and depression: depression symptoms are associated with deficits in target facilitation, not distractor inhibition

Published: June 2019

Mood and anxiety disorders are associated with deficits in attentional control involving emotive and non-emotive stimuli. Current theories focus on impaired attentional inhibition of distracting stimuli in producing these deficits. However, standard attention tasks struggle to separate distractor inhibition from target facilitation. Here, we investigate whether distractor inhibition underlies these deficits using neutral stimuli in a behavioural task specifically designed to tease apart these two attentional processes. Healthy participants performed a four-location Posner cueing paradigm and completed self-report questionnaires measuring depressive symptoms and trait anxiety. Using regression analyses, we found no relationship between distractor inhibition and mood symptoms or trait anxiety. However, we find a relationship between target facilitation and depression. Specifically, higher depressive symptoms were associated with reduced target facilitation in a task-version in which the target location repeated over a block of trials. We suggest this may relate to findings previously linking depression with deficits in predictive coding in clinical populations.
Complete Q-Matrices in General Attribute Structure Models
Authors: Heller Jürgen
Published: June 2019

In cognitive diagnostic assessment a property of the Q-matrix, usually referred to as completeness, warrants that the cognitive attributes underlying the observed behavior can be assessed uniquely. Characterizations of completeness were first derived under the assumption of independent attributes, and are currently under investigation for interdependent attributes. The dominant approach considers so-called attribute hierarchies, which are conceptualized through a partial order on the set of attributes. The present paper corrects and extends previously published results on this issue obtained for conjunctive attribute hierarchy models. Drawing upon results from knowledge structure theory it provides novel sufficient and necessary conditions for completeness of the $Q$-matrix, not only for conjunctive models on attribute hierarchies, but also on more general attribute structures.
Electrophysiological Correlates of Social Group Representations in Affective Priming
Authors: Suran Tiziano , Arcara Giorgio , Piretti Luca , Rumiati Raffaella I
Published: June 2019

There is growing evidence in cognitive neuroscience that processing of information about social groups involves the associated affective features, compared with processing information about nonsocial semantic categories. With the present study we aimed at assessing the extent of such involvement by measuring event-related potentials in healthy individuals while they performed an affective priming paradigm requiring evaluative responses. Behavioral results showed a greater affective priming for social group than for nonsocial category targets, while the analysis of the neural correlates revealed a modulation in the late positive component, which was higher in the positive valence social groups as compared to positive valence nonsocial categories. The present findings complement previous neuropsychological and brain stimulation studies by showing how the engagement in affective processing enhances the representation of social groups compared to nonsocial categories, as indicated by the emergence of a distinct behavioral and neurophysiological response.
Perceptions of Professional Competence in the Context of an Office-Based Workplace
Authors: Wall Helena
Published: June 2019

Social Sciences literature has produced various conceptualisations of professional competence, in addition to models and taxonomies for its perception, assessment and acquisition. The need remains for a holistic model that addresses the varied use of this term. My study contributes to the efforts to develop such a model by investigating how office professionals perceive and negotiate the meaning of competence in interaction.

Phase I combines thematic and interactional analyses of individual interview responses to visual stimuli from the sitcom W1A. Phase II combines thematic and interactional analyses of follow-up individual and group interviews with multimodal analysis of the visual stimuli.

Four conceptualisations were present in my sample. Three were context-independent: competence as a level of attainment; competence as a set of characteristics required for an individual to fulfil a role; and competence as a set of characteristics required to fulfil a role, subject to training. The other was a dual construction in which competence denotes a set of characteristics required to fulfil a role and, in respect to a given role, denotes any characteristic required for that role.

I suggest a multifaceted model that constructs professional competence as a level of attainment and defines context-dependent competencies required for ‘competent’ and ‘expert’ practitioners.

Sustainable Entrepreneurs as Change Agents: Relevant Key Competencies for Sustainability
Authors: Hagmaier Bastian
Published: June 2019

This article elaborates on sustainable entrepreneurs acting as change agents with a focus on their relevant key competencies for sustainability. For this purpose, the existing set of key competencies for sustainability by Wiek et al. (2011a) is combined with entrepreneurial competencies. The specific form of required competencies to act as change agents should inspire future design of curricula.

A literature review regarding key competencies, change agent concepts and sustainable entrepreneurs and their competencies forms the foundation. Ten semi-structured, qualitative expert interviews with entrepreneurs emphasise the relevance that the practitioners assign to each of the different competencies. Applying this framework of different competencies, the entrepreneurs’ change agent behaviour identifies a specific competence profile of sustainable entrepreneurs of two axes: the importance of key competencies and the addition of specific entrepreneurial competencies. This is of high relevance to design specific programs to educate future change agents.

This research limits its findings to sustainable entrepreneurs. A larger number of interviews and an expansion to other expert groups, such as entrepreneurs without sustainable projects, could strengthen the results. With this article the author contributes to the debate key competencies and entrepreneurial competencies in higher education as well as their practical relevance.

Conservative Censors, Banned Books: Reading the Reports of Australia’s Commonwealth Literature Censorship Board
Authors: Gawen Naish
Published: June 2019

The Australian government’s strict censorship regime of the mid-twentieth century banned a range of imported books, from popular to pornographic to literary titles. Drawing on the archived censor reports of the committee, this article will argue that Australia’s Commonwealth Literature Censorship Board is best understood within a tradition of conservative thinking about literature’s social function which can be traced back to Matthew Arnold. This paper examines the banning of James Baldwin’s Another Country as an example of politically conservative anxieties about race and sexuality influencing the impetus behind the censor’s decisions. It is argued that the Australian censorship project was underwritten by an ideological notion of what literature is, and how it should serve the interests of the state.

U radu su prikazane značajke rasta jednogodišnjih biljaka sladuna u uvjetima potpunog svjetla u poljskom pokusu 2016. godine. U odnosu na višegodišnji prosjek (1981.–2010. godine) srednja temperatura zraka u vegetacijskom razdoblju 2016. godine bila je veća za 1.3°C, a količina oborina za 30.1 mm.
Broj ožiljaka terminalnih pupova na jednogodišnjim biljkama sladuna (Slika 1), definira broj faza rasta u visinu na temelju kojega su izdvojeni tipovi rasta biljaka: biljke s jednofaznim, dvofaznim i trofaznim rastom. U analiziranom uzorku, 39,8% biljaka pripada jednofaznom tipu rasta, 58,2% dvofaznom, a svega 2,0% trofaznom tipu rasta (Slika 2). S obzirom na mali broj biljaka s trofaznim rastom u visinu, sve biljke su podijeljene u dvije skupine: biljke sa jednofaznim i biljke sa višestrukim rastom u visinu (Tablica 2). Postoje statistički značajne razlike u varijancama uzoraka kod svih značajki rasta između biljaka s jednofaznim i višestrukim rastom na razini p < 0,05, a na razini p < 0,01 između srednjih vrijednosti svih analiziranih elemenata rasta između biljaka s jednofaznim i višestrukim rastom. Primjetno je da raspodjela svih elemenata rasta varira između dvije definirane skupine biljaka. S obzirom na visinu primarnog rasta (H1), biljke s jednofaznim rastom su po apsolutnoj varijabilnosti nešto manje varijabilne, a po relativnoj duplo manje varijabilne od biljaka s višestrukim rastom, s blago pozitivnom asimetrijom. Što se tiče ukupne visine, biljke sa višestrukim rastom su znatno varijabilnije kako glede apsolutne varijabilnosti, tako i relativne varijabilnosti i s više izraženom desnom asimetrijom u odnosu na biljke s jednofaznim rastom. Kod biljaka s višestrukim rastom, apsolutna varijabilnost broja listova je dvostruko veća, a ukupne površine listova trostruko veća s izraženom desnom asimetrijom u usporedbi s biljkama s jednofaznim rastom. Postoje značajne razlike između raspodjela biljaka s jednofaznim i višestrukim rastom u visinu.
Biljke s jednofaznim rastom imaju manju ukupnu visinu, manji promjer korjenovog vrata, manji broj i ukupnu površinu listova, ali se odlikuju većom srednjom visinom primarnog rasta u odnosu na biljke sa višestrukim rastom, što ukazuje na različite značajke rasta u početnoj fazi i tijekom vegetacijskog razdoblja između ovih tipova biljaka.

Revision of a CHF correlation for PWR under low pressure conditions with only dimensionless parameters as independent variables
Authors: Pang B. , Feng S. , Yin Y.
Published: June 2019

Accurate prediction of the critical heat flux (CHF) is one of the key tasks of PWR core design and safety assessment, for the maximal allowable heat flux in the reactor core is limited by CHF. Since CHF in rod bundle cannot be predicted analytically, up-to-date predictive approach is based on empirical correlations related to the local thermal-hydraulic conditions, geometry and power distribution. However, development of CHF correlation for PWR fuel assemblies under low pressure conditions (2–10 MPa) is constrained by limited amount of experimental data points, which builds up in statistics a typical problem of small sample amounts, but requiring simultaneously high prediction accuracy. In our previous study, stepwise regression method was applied to develop a dimensional, empirical CHF correlation for PWR under low pressure conditions, termed as the advanced low pressure CHF correlation (ALPC), which successfully solves the challenge of small sample problem. However, the ALPC correlation still uses dimensional independent variables with less physical meanings, which limits its physical interpretability. In the current study, stepwise regression method was used to develop a revised, dimensionless version of the ALPC CHF correlation. First, various dimensionless, two-phase thermal-hydraulic parameters that might influence CHF were selected as candidate independent variables. With stepwise regression, the form and coefficients of the revised CHF correlation were optimized in a dynamic manner. Compared to the current ALPC correlation, the revised version developed in this study possesses a similar simple form but a much higher prediction accuracy. Revision of the ALPC correlation demonstrates clearly the advantages of utilizing dimensionless parameters as independent variables in CHF correlation, which points out a new direction of developing rod-bundle CHF correlations for engineering purpose.

To develop a program of high volume physical exercises, of moderate to high intensity, adapted to the working context of Kinshasa. In a trial study of structured, spontaneous and mixed physical exercise programs associated with nutrition education, lasting 3 months, from November 7 to January 7, 2014. 30 obese sedentary workers 44 ± 844 ± 8.6 on average, year-olds were randomly selected from 157 obese individuals out of a general population of 400 employees in the personal list of the selected company. These workers were divided into three groups of physical exercises, of which the first group consisted of 10 workers in a three-day, moderate to high intensity structured exercise program, including: jogging, aerobics, basketball, volleyball, swimming, abdominals and walking of 10,000 steps a day. The second group was also composed of 10 workers undergoing a spontaneous exercise program of the same duration, intensity and frequency including: walk, up and down the stairs and finally the third group composed and then the third group of 10 workers submitted to a mixed exercise program (the mixture of the two programs). Quantitative variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation. The ANOVA test was used to compare the variables of two groups. A value of p-value ≤ 0.05 was considered a threshold of statistical significance. Decreased weight, waist circumference and body mass index were observed intra group before and after exercise programs. After the intervention, the group subjected to the mixed exercises improved more significantly (p = 0.0001) the morphological parameters of the obese than the group subjected to the structured and spontaneous exercises with diet. A moderate to high intensity, high volume mixed exercise program significantly improves the morphology of obese sedentary workers compared to the structured and spontaneous exercise program. It can be considered as an effective non-pharmacological strategy to combat the nutritional and epidemiological transition in the workplace, where obesity is the main cornerstone.

Published: June 2019

Objective: To identify the geographic distribution of households with goats and rates of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women, and assess healthcare providers’ perceptions towards risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes related with exposure to goats or their raw products during pregnancy and their intention to do risk screening.Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Songkhla province using the number of households with goats and the rates of abortion, stillbirth, and preterm birth reported in the Thailand 2015 Universal Coverage Scheme database. The perceptions towards risk of exposure to goats or their raw products and the intention to do risk screening according to the Health Belief Model of 46 healthcare providers from four districts of this province were using correlation analysis and multiple linear regression.Results: A high number of households with goats was found in all four districts but the number of households with goats was not significantly correlated with any of the rates of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Most perceptions of healthcare providers were highly correlated with intention to do risk screening, except their perceptions on barriers. Cues to action was significantly (p-value=0.018) associated with intention to do risk screening in multiple regression analysis.Conclusion: No correlation between the number of households with goats and rates of adverse pregnancy outcomes were found; however, healthcare providers had positive perceptions and intention to do risk screening for exposure to goats or their raw products in pregnant women. Education and warning messages concerning zoonosis as strengthening cues to action are needed.

Published: June 2019

The association of essential oils (EOs) with antibiotics provides a promising solution towards combating resistant bacteria. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine for the first time the possible synergistic interaction between EOs of three Moroccan thymes, namely Thymus leptobotrys (carvacrol [79.1%]), Thymus pallidus (γ-terpinene [29.6%], thymol [26.8%] and p-cymene [18.9%]) and Thymus ciliatus (carvacrol [26.2%], p-cymene [19.6%], thymol [17.3%] and γ-terpinene [14.6%]) and the antibiotic cefixime against selected pathogenic bacteria. The results showed that all thyme EOs presented interesting antibacterial potency and important synergistic effects with cefixime. Thymus leptobotrys EO showed the strongest efficacy against all tested bacteria (minimum inhibitory concentration values 0.14 mg/mL to 73.92 mg/mL), and the best synergistic effect (fractional inhibitor concentration indices: 0.26 to 0.5; gain: 4- to 130- fold). This synergistic interaction between the studied thyme EOs and cefixime may provide a basis for future applications for the control of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Eucalyptus globulus (Labill.) : un arbre à essence aux mille vertus
Authors: Boukhatem M.N. , Ferhat M.A. , Kameli A. , Mekarnia M.
Published: June 2019

Eucalyptus globulus (Labill.) [Myrtaceae] est originaire de Tasmanie en Australie et pousse surtout dans les régions chaudes. L’eucalyptus commun ou gommier bleu est un arbre sempervirent qui peut croître jusqu’à 30–55 m de haut. Ses feuilles sont la principale source de son huile essentielle (HE). Utilisée pour ses vertus médicinales, notamment antitussives et expectorantes, elle n’en a pas moins des propriétés fébrifuges, toniques, astringentes, antiseptiques, hémostatiques et vermifuges. Parmi ces composés, le 1,8- cinéole ou eucalyptol (50 à 80 %) est sans doute le plus connu, car c’est un expectorant qui peut soulager la toux et lutter contre les problèmes des voies respiratoires. En outre, pinène, limonène et au moins 250 autres composés dont citronellal, cryptone, pipéritone viendront étoffer la liste des nombreux composés aux vertus médicinales de l’eucalyptus. En phytoaromathérapie, l’essence d’eucalyptus officinal pourra trouver une place comme désinfectant atmosphérique en milieu hospitalier afin de lutter contre les infections nosocomiales et les contaminations aéroportées. Elle aide aussi à lutter contre l’asthme et peut être utilisée pour la désinfection de plaies. Notre travail se veut une revue de la littérature des propriétés thérapeutiques, préventive et/ou curative, de cet arbre à parfum et les potentiels utilisations de son HE en phytoaromathérapie anti-infectieuse ou encore comme ingrédient actif dans les préparations pharmaceutiques.

L’objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer les modifications du statut oxydatif au niveau cérébral, induites par la coexposition au plomb (0,2 %) et au manganèse (4,79 g/l) chez des jeunes rats wistar durant la période de gestation et de lactation, et de tester l’efficacité de l’huile essentielle de clou de girofle (HEC), Syzygium aromaticum, pour rétablir ou non les effets néfastes de ces deux métaux, et cela par une injection intrapéritonéale de 0,1 ml d’HEC/kg et par jour durant une période de 21 jours. La caractérisation de cette huile essentielle par chromatographie en phase gazeuse couplée à la spectrométrie de masse indique que les composants majeurs sont : eugénol (80,83 %), acétate d’eugényle (10,48 %) et β-caryophyllène (7,21 %). La coexposition chronique a permis d’observer une perturbation dans les activités enzymatiques antioxydantes (superoxyde-dismutase, glutathion-peroxydase et catalase) chez les rats intoxiqués comparés aux rats témoins. En effet, l’étude histologique au niveau du cortex cérébral et du cervelet a montré des lésions très marquées traduites par une dégénérescence des cellules nerveuses et l’activation des microglies. Par ailleurs, l’administration d’HEC a rétabli l’activité des différentes enzymes antioxydantes avec une nette amélioration de l’architecture tissulaire cérébrale chez les rats intoxiqués et traités par HEC.

Published: June 2019

Monitoring progress made in attaining sustainable development is a highly debated issue. Starting from the framework defined by the United Nations 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), in this paper dashboard and multidimensional index were chosen as instruments for assessing and communicating progress made in implementation of SDG. Their contributions have been discussed for Brazil in the years 2000s. Brazil is a federation of 26 States and a Federal District. To take into consideration local differences, data were collected and examined on a State base. By using a dashboard of 13 dimensions, one for each of the selected SDG, as well as a multidimensional index, it was possible to outline a better description of progress made in each Brazilian State over the selected period, as well as to identify specific obstacles to sustainable development.
Mental Health and Emotional Well-Being of Education Students

Published: June 2019

Education students face various challenges and depressive situations from their admission to their practice teaching experience. This case study examined how an institution addressed the issues on mental health and well-being of the students through its policy initiatives and sought to identify which policy alternative is best to address mental health issues and psychological distress among education students. To develop a comprehensive understanding of the institution’s position and ensure trustworthiness of the results, a methodological triangulation was done. Themes were generated from the data collected through document analysis, observations, and interviews. Results revealed the inadequacy of the provisions of the university code and student handbook to address mental health issues of students, the absence of a clear program and school prevention support, and the existence of Waray habits which restrain a proactive approach to solve similar issues. The study concludes that dealing with these issues on a case-to-case basis necessitates the provision of parameters to guide its stakeholders. From among the five policy options analyzed, the study recommended the development of a comprehensive campus-based mental health and well-being program that will ensure students’ mental and emotional preparedness in facing the rigors of their chosen profession.

Published: June 2019

Audit Energi adalah teknik yang dipakai untuk menghitung besarnya konsumsi energi pada bangunan gedung dan mengenali cara-cara untuk penghematannya. Indomaret merupakan jaringan minimarket yang menyediakan kebutuhan pokok dan kebutuhan sehari – hari dengan luas penjualan kurang dari 200 m². Di Sulawesi selatan, khususnya kota Makassar terdapat 2 jenis indomaret yaitu indomaret reguler (beroperasi selama 15 jam sehari) dan indomaret plus (beroperasi selama 24 jam sehari). Pada penelitian ini Audit Energi dilakukan di Indomaret Plus Bumi Permata Sudiang. Bangunan tersebut terdiri dari 2 lantai yang memiliki luas sebesar 403.75 m², dan mendapat supply energi listrik dari PLN sebesar 53.000 VA yang berada pada tarif golongan bisnis B2/TR. Kegiatan yang dilakukan meliputi Audit Energi Awal dan Audit Energi Rinci yaitu menghitung Intensitas Konsumsi Energi (IKE) dan mencari peluang penghematan energi di bangunan tersebut. Dari data rekening listrik selama 1 tahun, didapatkan IKE pada gedungtersebut, yaitu sebesar 470 kWh/m² per tahun dari IKE standar pada gedung pusat belanja adalah 330 kWh/m² per tahun. Dari data selama 1 tahun di dapatlah rumusan masalahnya yaitu bagaimana mencari peluang-peluang untuk penghematan energy listrik dan penghematan biaya berdasarkan kondisi aktual di lapangan. Setelah melakukan penelitian di dapatkan IKE di dapatkan IKE yaitu sebesar 514 kWh/m² per tahun. Dari hasil perhitungan tersebut didapat perhitungan yang cukup jauh, hal ini di mungkinkan karena dalam perhitungan yang di lakukan mengabaikan faktor kerusakan / gangguan pada peralatan elektronik. Dalam perhitungan di asumsikan semua peralatan tidak pernah mengalami kerusakan / gangguan. Setelah melakukan penghematan di dapatkan IKE yaitu sebesar 401 kWh/m² per tahun. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa penggunaan energi listrik pada bangunan tersebut masih boros karena standard IKE pada gedung pusat belanja adalah 330 kWh/m² per tahun. Oleh karena itu, perlu diadakan beberapa perbaikan pada sistem dan jam operasi peralatan elektronik toko di sistem penerangan dengan cara mengganti lampu uniled 22 watt dengan lampu uniled 18 watt, tata udara dengan cara mengganti AC konvensional dengan AC Inverter,  dan peralatan toko dengan cara meng-Offkan 1 unit komputer pada jam 24.00 – 06.00.

Arus start yang cukup besar pada mesinmotor induksi dan berulang-ulang dalam waktu singkat akan menimbulkan panas yang cukup tinggi pada gulungan kawat motor. Hal ini tidak menjadi masalah jika motor terus hidup / berputar sehingga ada cukup pendinginan yang didorong dari kipas motor. Tapi jika start-stop dalam interval singkat tentu panas yang timbul karena arus start tadi belum sempat turun dan kemudian motor stop, kemudian start lagi, sehingga panasnya akan terakumulasi. Jika terusdibiarkanmaka lama kelamahan motor induksi akanrusak dan boros listrik. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini dilakukan untuk merancang dan membuat suatu kontrol menggunakan soft starting dan mikrokontoler. Metode penelitian yang akan dilakukan yaitu sistem yang dibangun terdiri dari mikrokontroller sebagai processing digital, zero crossing sebagai deteksi tegangan nol sinyal listrik, dan driver untuk mengendalikan pemicuan triac yang mengatur arus  pompa. Output berupa alat, telah diuji coba dengan beban berupa lampu pijar 100W dan juga pengujian langsung pada motor induksi 120W. Hasil pengujian putaran Pompa, terlihat mulai berputar dengan pelan, dan makin lama makin cepat sampai diperoleh putaran maksimum. Dengan pengujian mesin pompa air 120 Watt di peroleh arus start tanpa soft starting 1,2 - 2 Ampere dan dengan soft starting di peroleh Arus start 0.8-1 Ampere.Kemudian Hasil Pengujian nilai Kp, Ki, Kd di peroleh nilai dari 0.09-0.12 A.

The violence exerted against a woman by her partner (IPV) causes harm to mental health. This is a comparative study between female victims (n = 170) and non-victims of violence (n = 170), by their partners. The objective of the study was to assess whether women victims of violence are at greater risk of presenting symptoms of depression and anxiety, evaluated with the Beck Depression Inventory and the Personality Evaluation Inventory. The findings showed significant differences in depression and anxiety (p < .001) between both groups. The type of violence was characterized with a structured and self-administered form. The mean age of the victims was 38.55 (SD = 9.72) and of the no victims 37.25 (SD = 11.43). The results show that depression and anxiety are strongly associated with violence.

Background. The study investigated the relationship between dietary intake of polyphenols and inflammatory markers: CRP, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), medium platelet volume/lymphocyte ratio (MPVRL), in newly-diagnosed breast cancer patients.
Objectives. The aim of this work was to verify whether diet rich in plant polyphenols affects inflammatory markers in breast cancer patients.
Materials and methods. 78 patients (55.3±14.5 years) treated surgically for breast cancer were studied.
A modified FFQ and authorial worksheet based on the Phenol Explorer database was used to measure the amount of plant polyphenols in a diet. Basing on the median of polyphenols intake (1780 mg/day), the group was divided into two subgroups: low- and high- dietary intake of polyphenols (LDIP and HDIP, respectively). Plasma CRP level was measured and NLR, PLR and MPVLR were calculated using results from peripheral blood morphology.
Results. LDIP was associated with significantly higher CRP (elevated in 34.5% LDIP patients vs. 8.3% HDIP, p<0.003), NLR (elevated in 46.2% LDIP patients vs. 25.6% HDIP, p<0.006) and PLR level (elevated in 25.6% LDIP patients vs. 12.8% HDIP, p<0.03). MPVLR was not significantly different between both the subgroups.
Conclusion. High dietary intake of polyphenols remarkably reduced process of inflammation in breast cancer patients, which has important clinical implications. The study demonstrated also an usefulness of simple, cheap and commonly available biomarkers for monitoring anti-inflammatory effects of diet.

Authors: Que - Ansorge Candice , Yap Eduardo C.
Published: June 2019

Objective:  To describe a surgical technique using bony septum, specifically vomer or perpendicular plate of the ethmoid (PPE), as an extended spreader graft (ESG) for securing septal extension graft (SEG) and for correcting internal nasal valve dysfunction.

Methods:

            Design: Descriptive Case Series

            Setting:           Tertiary Private Hospital

            Participants: Thirty-two (32) patients who underwent aesthetic rhinoplasty from May 2016 to October 2017 were evaluated, and ten (10) patients presenting with symptomatic obstruction were considered for inclusion. The surgical technique was applied in patients with weak SEG for control of nasal length and tip projection who had inadequate septal cartilage for SEG and ESG intraoperatively. Results were evaluated grossly under direct vision intra-operatively and post-operatively to check the patency of the internal valve.

Results:  Bony septum was used as an ESG in five (5) patients (1 male, 4 females, ages 35 to 50-years-old) with inadequate septal cartilage. Intraoperative evaluation under direct vision showed anterior caudal septal deviation in all 5 patients in whom correction was confirmed after placement of SEG and ESG. Immediate post-operative evaluation confirmed bilaterally patent nasal valve in all 5, who reported subjectively improved breathing at 2 and 4 weeks post-operatively.  Post-operative photographs showed improvement of nasal length and tip.

Conclusion: The use of the bony septum (vomer and PPE) as an ESG for primary or secondary rhinoplasty is a potentially effective means of supporting and securing the SEG for control of nasal length, preventing tip deviation or rotation and for improving internal valve function. Further trials are needed to establish its reliability and long-term effectivity.

Sistem reproduksi wanita merupakan sistem kompleks yang meliputi semua alat reproduksi wanita dan akan berubah sesuai dengan siklus perkembangan. Siklus perkembangan reproduksi wanita berlangsung secara alamiah mulai dari menarche sampai menopause. Sebelum terjadi menopause ada masa transisi yang disebut premenopause. Perubahan organ reproduksi pada masa premenopause ini ditandai dengan terjadinya gangguan pada menstruasi. Perpanjangan dan pengurangan siklus menstruasi dapat dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor seperti Anti Mullerian Hormon (AMH) dan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT). Tujuan mengetahui hubungan kadar AMH dan IMT terhadap panjang siklus menstruasi premenopause di BPM Ranting Seberang Ulu I.Penelitian ini dilakukan di Laboratorium Biomolekuler Kedokteran Universitas Sriwijaya dengan desain penelitian observasional analitik. Sebanyak 74 orang sample dipilih secara Convinience Sampling yang dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok yaitu kelompok siklus mesntruasi normal dan tidak normal. Kedua kelompok diukur TB dan BB nya untuk mengetahui IMT dan diambil darah vena untuk dialkukan pemeriksaan AMH dengan metode ELISA. Hasil analisis data AMH dan siklus menstruasi dilakukan dengan uji Mann-Whitney. nilai p=0,004, IMT dan siklus menstruasi dilakukan dengan uji T Independen nilai p=0,484, AMH dan IMT dilakukan dengan uji Spearman nilai p=0,789 dengan nilai alpha 0,05 (p<?). Disimpulkan bahwa ada hubungan antara AMH dan siklus mestruasi, tidak ada hubungan antara IMT dan siklus mestruasi dan tidak ada hubungan antara AMH dan IMT.

Daun Jambu Biji Merah (Psidium guajava L.) merupakan tanaman yang banyak tumbuh di Indonesia. Kandungan kimia yang terdapat dalam daun jambu biji merah adalah alkaloid, flavonoid, tanin, minyak atsiri dan beta-sitosterol yang diduga bersifat antifertilitas. Terrjadinya peningkatan jumlah penduduk yang sangat tinggi yaitu 1,49% per tahun maka perlu dikembangkan metode kontrasepsi pada pria yang aman, efektif dan reversibelitas tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perubahan berat dan histologi testis tikus putih jantan (Rattus norvegicus) akibat pemberian fraksi daun jambu biji merah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah true experiment dengan rancangan post test control group design menggunakan 24 ekor tikus jantan yang dibagi menjadi 4 kelompok perlakuan yang masing-masing kelompok terdiri atas 6 tikus jantan. Setiap kelompok diberi perlakuan fraksi n-heksan, etil asetat, metanol air sebanyak 80 mg/ekor/hari selama 48 hari dan untuk kelompok kontrol diberi CMC 1% 2 ml, pemberian dilakukan dengan cara sonde oral. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya penurunan rata-rata berat testis, diameter tubulus seminiferus, tebal epitel tubulus seminiferus serta penurunan jumlah sel Leydig antara kelompok kontrol dengan kelompok perlakuan. Berat testis dan diameter tubulus seminiferus pada hasil uji pos hoct tes antara kelompok kontrol dan kelompok perlakuan didapatkan nilai p<0,05 artinya ada perbedaan yang sangat signifikan tebal epitel tubulus seminiferus antara kelompok kontrol dan kelompok perlakuan. Begitu juga pada tebal epitel tubulus seminiferus dan jumlah sel Leydig, pada hasil uji pos hoct test didapatkan nilai p<0,05. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa fraksi daun jambu biji merah dapat menurunkan berat testis, diameter tubulus seminiferus, tebel epitel tubulus seminiferus dan jumlah sel Leydig.
