Authors: Mubin Omar , Alnajjar Fady , Jishtu Nalini , Alsinglawi Belal , Al Mahmud Abdullah
Published: July 2019

Background

Robot-assisted therapy has become a promising technology in the field of rehabilitation for poststroke patients with motor disorders. Motivation during the rehabilitation process is a top priority for most stroke survivors. With current advancements in technology there has been the introduction of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), customizable games, or a combination thereof, that aid robotic therapy in retaining, or increasing the interests of, patients so they keep performing their exercises. However, there are gaps in the evidence regarding the transition from clinical rehabilitation to home-based therapy which calls for an updated synthesis of the literature that showcases this trend. The present review proposes a categorization of these studies according to technologies used, and details research in both upper limb and lower limb applications.

Objective

The goal of this work was to review the practices and technologies implemented in the rehabilitation of poststroke patients. It aims to assess the effectiveness of exoskeleton robotics in conjunction with any of the three technologies (VR, AR, or gamification) in improving activity and participation in poststroke survivors.

Methods

A systematic search of the literature on exoskeleton robotics applied with any of the three technologies of interest (VR, AR, or gamification) was performed in the following databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Science Direct & The Cochrane Library. Exoskeleton-based studies that did not include any VR, AR or gamification elements were excluded, but publications from the years 2010 to 2017 were included. Results in the form of improvements in the patients’ condition were also recorded and taken into consideration in determining the effectiveness of any of the therapies on the patients.

Results

Thirty studies were identified based on the inclusion criteria, and this included randomized controlled trials as well as exploratory research pieces. There were a total of about 385 participants across the various studies. The use of technologies such as VR-, AR-, or gamification-based exoskeletons could fill the transition from the clinic to a home-based setting. Our analysis showed that there were general improvements in the motor function of patients using the novel interfacing techniques with exoskeletons. This categorization of studies helps with understanding the scope of rehabilitation therapies that can be successfully arranged for home-based rehabilitation.

Conclusions

Future studies are necessary to explore various types of customizable games required to retain or increase the motivation of patients going through the individual therapies.
Use of the Healthy Lifestyle Coaching Chatbot App to Promote Stair-Climbing Habits Among Office Workers: Exploratory Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Piao Meihua , Ryu Hyeongju , Lee Hyeongsuk , Kim Jeongeun
Published: July 2019

BACKGROUND

Lack of time for exercise is common among office workers given their busy lives. Because of occupational restrictions and difficulty in taking time off, it is necessary to suggest effective ways for workers to exercise regularly. Sustaining lifestyle habits that increase nonexercise activity in daily life can solve the issue of lack of exercise time. Healthy Lifestyle Coaching Chatbot is a messenger app based on the habit formation model that can be used as a tool to provide a health behavior intervention that emphasizes the importance of sustainability and involvement.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the Healthy Lifestyle Coaching Chatbot intervention presented via a messenger app aimed at stair-climbing habit formation for office workers.

METHODS

From February 1, 2018, to April 30, 2018, a total of 106 people participated in the trial after online recruitment. Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n=57) or the control group (n=49). The intervention group received cues and intrinsic and extrinsic rewards for the entire 12 weeks. However, the control group did not receive intrinsic rewards for the first 4 weeks and only received all rewards as in the intervention group from the fifth to twelfth week. The Self-Report Habit Index (SRHI) of participants was evaluated every week, and the level of physical activity was measured at the beginning and end of the trial. SPSS Statistics version 21 (IBM Corp) was used for statistical analysis.

RESULTS

After 4 weeks of intervention without providing the intrinsic rewards in the control group, the change in SRHI scores was 13.54 (SD 14.99) in the intervention group and 6.42 (SD 9.42) in the control group, indicating a significant difference between the groups (P=.04). When all rewards were given to both groups, from the fifth to twelfth week, the change in SRHI scores of the intervention and control groups was comparable at 12.08 (SD 10.87) and 15.88 (SD 13.29), respectively (P=.21). However, the level of physical activity showed a significant difference between the groups after 12 weeks of intervention (P=.045).

CONCLUSIONS

This study provides evidence that intrinsic rewards are important to enhance the sustainability and effectiveness of an intervention. The Healthy Lifestyle Coaching Chatbot program can be a cost-effective method for healthy habit formation.

Mobile Clinical Decision Tools Among Emergency Department Clinicians: Web-Based Survey and Analytic Data for Evaluation of The Ottawa Rules App (Preprint)
Authors: Quan Amanda My Linh , Stiell Ian , Perry Jeffrey J , Paradis Michelle , Brown Erica , Gignac Jordan , Wilson Lindsay , Wilson Kumanan
Published: July 2019

BACKGROUND

The Canadian CT Head Rule (CCHR), the Canadian Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) Score, and the Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) Rule have all previously demonstrated the potential to significantly standardize care and improve the management of patients in emergency departments (EDs). On the basis of user feedback, we believe that the addition of these rules to the Ottawa Rules App has the potential to increase the app’s usability and user acceptability.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to evaluate the perceived usefulness, acceptability, and uptake of the enhanced Ottawa Rules App (which now includes CCHR, TIA, and SAH Rules) among ED clinicians (medical students, residents, nurses, and physicians).

METHODS

The enhanced Ottawa Rules App was publicly released for free on iOS and Android operating systems in November 2018. This study was conducted across 2 tertiary EDs in Ottawa, Canada. Posters, direct enrollment, snowball sampling, and emails were used for study recruitment. A 24-question Web-based survey was administered to participants via email, and this was used to determine user acceptability of the app and Technology Readiness Index (TRI) scores. In-app user analytics were collected to track user behavior, such as the number of app sessions, length of app sessions, frequency of rule use, and the date app was first opened.

RESULTS

A total of 77 ED clinicians completed the study, including 34 nurses, 12 residents, 14 physicians, and 17 medical students completing ED rotations. The median TRI score for this group was 3.38, indicating a higher than average propensity to embrace and adopt new technologies to accomplish goals in their work or daily lives. The majority of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the app helped participants accurately carry out the clinical rules (56/77, 73%) and that they would recommend this app to their colleagues (64/77, 83%). Feedback from study participants suggested further expansion of the app—more clinical decision rules (CDRs) and different versions of the app tailored to the clinician role. Analysis and comparison of Google Analytics data and in-app data revealed similar usage behavior among study-enrolled users and all app users globally.

CONCLUSIONS

This study provides evidence that using the Ottawa Rules App (version 3.0.2) to improve and guide patient care would be feasible and widely accepted. The ability to verify self-reported user data (via a Web-based survey) against server analytics data is a notable strength of this study. Participants’ continued app use and request for the addition of more CDRs warrant the further development of this app and call for additional studies to evaluate its feasibility and usability in different settings as well as assessment of clinical impact.

Published: July 2019

Implementation of so-called Early Warning Systems (EWS) had grown exponentially from its birth in the mid-twentieth century. That growth has been in number, sophistication and application realms (earthquakes, floods, global warming, hurricanes...). This paper analyses the use of Early Warning Systems in the contemporary logics of biosurveillance. In order to do this, we will offer an analysis of documentary material and images, both pertaining to the study case focused on epidemics and biosecurity we conducted for three years. The aim is to illustrate the features of the contemporary biosurveillance logics. Finally, we will conclude by saying that in these logics of biosurveillance are brewing a profound change in the way life is monitored. We have called it biomonitorization: life is no longer just passive and controlled by different devices; now, it also plays an active, surveilling and monitorizing role. Then, citizens become biocitizens.

Propõe-se neste artigo trazer à tona os traços de movimentos de territorialização peculiares, realizados pelos escravos de ganho e crioulos na constituição dos cantos de trabalho e dos batuques de “lazer” espalhados pela cidade de Salvador no século XIX. Acredita-se que tais sujeitos, em outros tempos, tenham alimentado uma complexa rede de articulação multicultural que contribuiu para a formação de territórios de resistência e, consequentemente, para a organização de levantes e insurreições contra o modelo económico vigente, o que em âmbito geográfico torna o debate relevante visto a escassez de fontes acerca das diferentes geograficidades da gente negra no Brasil pré-abolição. Para tanto, delineou-se o debate aqui encaminhado, a partir de estudos bibliográficos inerentes a temática apresentada.

 

BETWEEN “CANTOS” AND “BATUQUES”: territories and territorialities black african in the city of salvador in the XIX century

ABSTRACT

The proposed article aims to highlight the traces of peculiar territorialization movements performed by the money-earling slave and Creoles in the constitution of the cantos de trabalho and the batuques de lazer scattered throughout the city of Salvador in the nineteenth century. It is believed that these subjects, in other times, have fed a complex network of multicultural articulation that contributed to the formation of territories of resistance and, consequently, to the organization of uprisings and insurrections against the current economic model, which in geographic scope makes the debate relevant considering the scarcity of sources about the different geographies of black people in Brazil pre-abolition. For that, the discussion here was delineated, based on bibliographical studies inherent to the theme presented.

Keywords: Territorialization movements. Money-earning slave. Cantos de trabalho. Batuques. Black territorialities.

RESUMEN

En este artículo se propone resaltar las huellas de movimientos de territorialización peculiares, realizado por los esclavos de gano y los criollos en la constitución de los “cantos” de trabajo y los batuques de “esparcimiento” repartidos por toda la ciudad de Salvador en el siglo XIX. Se cree que estos temas, en otros tiempos, han alimentado una compleja red de articulación multicultural que contribuyó a la formación de territorios de resistencia y, en consecuencia, a la organización de levantamientos e insurrecciones contra el modelo económico en vigor, que en el ámbito geográfico hace que el debate sea relevante teniendo en cuenta la escasez de fuentes sobre las diferentes geografías de los negros en Brasil antes de la abolición. Para eso, la discusión aquí fue delineada, basada en estudios bibliográficos inherentes al tema presentado.

Applying quantum algorithms to constraint satisfaction problems
Authors: Campbell Earl , Khurana Ankur , Montanaro Ashley
Published: July 2019

Quantum algorithms can deliver asymptotic speedups over their classical counterparts. However, there are few cases where a substantial quantum speedup has been worked out in detail for reasonably-sized problems, when compared with the best classical algorithms and taking into account realistic hardware parameters and overheads for fault-tolerance. All known examples of such speedups correspond to problems related to simulation of quantum systems and cryptography. Here we apply general-purpose quantum algorithms for solving constraint satisfaction problems to two families of prototypical NP-complete problems: boolean satisfiability and graph colouring. We consider two quantum approaches: Grover's algorithm and a quantum algorithm for accelerating backtracking algorithms. We compare the performance of optimised versions of these algorithms, when applied to random problem instances, against leading classical algorithms. Even when considering only problem instances that can be solved within one day, we find that there are potentially large quantum speedups available. In the most optimistic parameter regime we consider, this could be a factor of over 105 relative to a classical desktop computer; in the least optimistic regime, the speedup is reduced to a factor of over 103. However, the number of physical qubits used is extremely large, and improved fault-tolerance methods will likely be needed to make these results practical. In particular, the quantum advantage disappears if one includes the cost of the classical processing power required to perform decoding of the surface code using current techniques.

Este artículo presenta un estudio realizado en el marco del compromiso de mejoramiento resultante de un proceso de autoevaluación de la carrera de Bachillerato en Francés. El estudio, realizado por docentes de la comisión de autoevaluación de la carrera, contó con la asesoría del Centro de Evaluación Académica e indagó sobre los medios de información y comunicación más utilizados por su estudiantado, con el fin de optimizar la divulgación y la comunicación de temas relativos a la carrera. Los resultados obtenidos reflejan que, posiblemente como resultado del desarrollo tecnológico, las personas universitarias jóvenes privilegian la comunicación de aspectos académicos por medios más dinámicos y que las unidades académicas no utilizan el mismo canal de comunicación que usan y prefieren estos; esta situación supone retos para el diseño de estrategias de divulgación de diversos aspectos académicos derivados de los procesos de calidad y mejora continua de las carreras universitarias, en donde se transita de un modelo de comunicación de masas – unidireccional- a un modelo de comunicación en red – más horizontal.COMMUNICATE AND INFORM STUDENTS: CHALLENGES FOR THE UNIVERSITIES' COMMITMENT WITH IMPROVEMENT AbstractThis article presents a study made conducted in the framework of a self-evaluation process of the French Language Baccalaureate program at the Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR) in 2015.  The study was carried out by THE staff in charge of the self-evaluation process, and relied on the advice of the Center for Academic Evaluation. It examines the communication and information media or mechanisms that were most used by the students, in order to improve the communication of information related to the program. The results of the study suggest that young university students prefer more dynamic media, while the academic units tend to privilege other communication channels. This situation poses a challenge regarding the design of the communication strategies to be used to convey aspects of the quality assurance and continuous improvement plans of the university majors. A transition from unidirectional mass-communication schemes to more horizontal networking schemes is to be expected.Keywords: self-evaluation process; commitment to improvement; quality certification; media; information; communication

A novel approach to approximate order preserving matching
Authors: Mendivelso Moreno Juan Carlos , Niquefa Velásquez Rafael Alberto , Pinzón Ardila Yoán José , Hernández Pérez Germán Jairo
Published: July 2019

A problem with important applications in stock market analysis and music information retrieval is order-preserving matching. This problem is a recently introduced variant of the string matching problem that searches for substrings in the text whose natural representation matches the natural representation of the pattern. The natural representation of a string X is a string that contains the rankings of the characters occurring at each position of X. Then, order-preserving matching regards the internal structure of the strings rather than their absolute values. But both stock market analysis and music information retrieval require more flexibility: not only the substrings with exactly the same structure are of interest, but also the ones that are similar. In this paper, we propose an approximate version of order-preserving matching based on the δγ- distances that permit an individual error between the ranking of corresponding symbols (bounded by δ) and a global error of all the positions (bounded by γ). We present an algorithm that solves this problem in O(nm+m log m). Experimental results verify the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

KAPITTEL 2 Pasienters synlighet og medvirkning i vaktskifterapporter
Authors: Johannesen Lasse Morten , Ryen Else
Published: July 2019

Studier har vist at objektive data dokumenteres i stor grad i pasientjournaler, mens det er varierende i hvilken grad og hvor detaljert subjektive data dokumenteres. Også i den studien vi presenterer i dette kapittelet, finner vi at det rapporteres relativt lite om pasienters egne følelser, erfaringer og ønsker.
Studien er basert på 113 vaktskifterapporter, skrevet av 17 sykepleiere med norsk som førstespråk og 17 som er andrespråkbrukere av norsk. Hensikten med studien var å undersøke om det var kvalitative forskjeller i skriftlig rapportering mellom de to gruppene. Vi har ikke funnet tidligere arbeider der det har vært foretatt en slik sammenlikning.
Studien viser at det blant de andrespråklige sykepleierne er færre forekomster av subjektive data enn blant de førstespråklige, og de gjengir i mindre grad pasienters refleksjoner og deres vurderinger av sin egen tilstand. De nyanserer også mindre, blant annet ved relativt lite bruk av beskrivende adjektiv. Det er imidlertid spredning i rapporteringsgrad i begge grupper.
Subjektive data er sentrale for vurdering av pasienters behov for behandling og pleie, og når pasienter kommer til orde med følelser, ønsker og behov, kan de også gis mulighet for medvirkning i egen behandling.
Studien indikerer at det er behov for bedre opplæring i journalskriving, også blant sykepleiere med norsk som førstespråk.
KAPITTEL 6 Journalføring og pasientsikkerhetskultur i hjemmesykepleien
Authors: Olsen Rose Mari , Wibe Torunn
Published: July 2019

Journalføring er helt avgjørende for å sikre kontinuitet, kvalitet og sikkerhet i helsetjenesten. Hensikten med denne studien var å beskrive helsepersonells oppfatninger av dokumentasjon av sykepleie på eget arbeidssted i hjemmesykepleien, og å undersøke hvordan oppfatning av dokumentasjon er assosiert med pasientsikkerhetskultur og tid brukt på dokumentasjon. Studien bygger på en spørreundersøkelse blant 161 helsepersonell ansatt i hjemmesykepleien i seks kommuner i Midt-Norge. De svarte på spørsmål om dokumentasjon av sykepleie, samt teamarbeidsklima og sikkerhetsklima – som er to dimensjoner ved pasientsikkerhetskultur hentet fra den norske versjonen av Safety Attitudes Questionnaire. Data ble analysert ved hjelp av deskriptiv statistikk, t-test og lineær regresjonsanalyse. Resultatene viser at ansatte i hjemmesykepleien har en overveiende positiv oppfatning av dokumentasjonen ved egen arbeidsplass. Ansatte bruker i gjennomsnitt 37 minutter på dokumentasjon per vakt, og tidsbruken er signifikant høyere blant de med høyere utdanning enn de med lavere utdanning. Det er en statistisk signifikant positiv sammenheng mellom oppfatning av dokumentasjon av sykepleie og henholdsvis teamarbeidsklima og sikkerhetsklima. Hvorvidt den faktiske kvaliteten på dokumentasjonen samsvarer med de positive oppfatningene rapportert av helsepersonell i denne studien, bør utforskes gjennom systematisk journalgjennomgang. Siden dokumentasjon i pasientjournalen har stor betydning for ivaretakelse av pasientsikkerhet, er det vesentlig at dokumentasjonen gjennomgås ut fra faglige kriterier, som ledd i pasientsikkerhetsarbeidet, og at gode rammevilkår for ivaretakelse av dokumentasjon har høy prioritet blant ledere.
Construção Social de Gênero e Busca de Identidade em Persépolis
Authors: Ribeiro Mylena Fernanda
Published: July 2019

Este texto mostra a necessida de reconhecer que qualquer tipo de repressão vivenciada hoje pelas mulheres, possui raízes patriarcais. Procurando ressaltar estas questões, faz-se uma retomada aos possíveis princípios da estigmatização carregada pela figura da mulher tanto no século XIX, quanto no atual e traz personagens mulheres da graphic novel que dialogam com a desconstrução que se procura no contemporâneo. A análise dessas personagens do quadrinho Persépolis, evidencia pontos importantes como suas histórias e trajetórias de vida, como cada uma lidou com situações em que foram confrontandas por serem mulheres. Esses posicionamentos debatem-se com pensamentos valiosos de teóricas importantes e estudiosas do “ser mulher” em socieade, tanto nos primórdios da luta pela importância da educação e a busca da existência da mulher como ser autônomo, quanto a assuntos envolvendo o assédio e feminicídio, discutidos atualmente. Estudar Persépolis e suas personagens contribui para a desmistificação do que se criou socialmente a respeito da “feminilidade” da mulher e do seu destino estar atrelado ao matrimônio; submissão e redução do seu “eu” para viver em sociedade.
Entre a natureza e floresta xamânica: uma exposição do fim do mundo à luz das palavras do xamã Davi Kopenawa
Authors: Valerio Vaz Pedro Paulo
Published: July 2019

Este artigo busca fazer uma reflexão junto às palavras do xamã yanomami Davi Kopenawa contidas na obra A queda do céu, construída em conjunto com o antropólogo Bruce Albert. O ponto central explorado será a relação que o xamã realiza com os não-humanos, com os espíritos, com a floresta encantada. Neste sentido este artigo busca expor aquilo que só os xamãs veem, conhecem, que é o sobrenatural, o mundo animado. Resumidamente, o que se tenta fazer é comparar o texto xamânico com outros textos ocidentais, para que as diferenças e a semelhanças entre eles sejam expostas. As relações que os xamãs realizam com as florestas estão intimamente ligadas a questão do fim do mundo, a questão da catástrofe ambiental, e sendo assim, este artigo irá expor diferentes versões do fim do mundo já escritas por ocidentais, para então as compara las ao fim do mundo xamânico. O resultado é um texto que fica sempre em um limite entre o mundo branco e o mundo yanomami, e que construiu uma possível entrada das palavras do xamã Davi Kopenawa para dentro da antropologia, e de suas questões.Palavras-chave: espíritos; fim do mundo; florestas; não-humanos; xamanismo.
O IRPF como parte da grade curricular dos cursos de graduação em Ciências Contábeis das instituições de ensino superior do estado de São Paulo
Authors: Santos Tatiana Moraes de Oliveira , Gonzales Alexandre
Published: July 2019

A pessoa física, como parte importante do processo de arrecadação de impostos do Estado, poderia melhor planejar e organizar seu patrimônio a fim de tornar menos onerosa a carga tributária, dentro da legalidade. A sociedade presume que os profissionais com conhecimento para tanto sejam os graduados em Ciências Contábeis, entretanto não se sabe até que ponto as IES capacitaram este profissional. Com base nisso, o problema de pesquisa respondido ao longo do trabalho foi: Como as Instituições de Ensino Superior abordam o tema IRPF/DIRPF durante o curso de graduação em ciências contábeis? A pesquisa teve caráter qualitativo, cuja coleta de dados se deu através de entrevistas com as quatro instituições de ensino privadas que possuem os melhores cursos de ciências contábeis do Estado de São Paulo – quesito qualidade de ensino – segundo o ranking universitário da Folha de 2017. O trabalho permitiu concluir que posicionamento adotado pelas IES avaliadas cria atualmente um vácuo no mercado local no que tange o tema e que pode ser absorvido por profissionais de outras áreas. Mudanças nas abordagens das IES poderiam apresentar aos alunos uma nova opção de atuação no mercado.

The aim of this research is using the kriging method as one of geostatistics interpolation methods on the measured value of the specific part and Bayesian Kalman filter to identifying the depth of Groundwater in Erbil. Geostatistics is a tool which is developed for statistical analysis of any continuous data that can be measured at any location in the space. The Kalman filter is the Bayesian optimum solution to the problem of estimating the unknown state of a dynamic system from noisy data and is more efficient than computing the estimate directly from the entire past observed data. The main goal of this work is to predict anew value at the unmeasured location by kriging method and Bayesian Kalman filter and compare these two methods. The dataset is the observed values of the (295) wells that had been taken from a known specific place which called Shaqlawa – in Erbil Governorate. The comparison was done by calculating mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) for the value of the depth of groundwater in the eara of the study. The values of (MAE and RMSE) of each models are compared and the smaller values of them are the better interpolation as it shown in analyzing to evaluate the precision of the prediction.

Published: July 2019

The basic motive of this research paper is to investigate Paulo Coelho as an optimistic writer through his writings. In this regard researchers use subjective study in which they put their opinions about Coelho’s optimistic ideas with the reference of his writings. The researchers select three novels in this way such as, “The Alchemist”, “The Fifth Mountain” and “Brida”. The researchers used all these novels as primary sources in this research paper. The researchers depict Coelho’s attitude, views, opinions and vision about his characters through his writing style. The researchers interpret Coelho’s optimism on the basis of existentialism philosophy.
The Songs of Innocence-Blake’s Intuitive Flights into the Realm of the Absolute
Authors: Venkataramana Dr.B.
Published: July 2019

Just like William Wordsworth who came a little later William Blake was known for an absolute sincerity, a mystic renunciation and a boldness of spirit. His originality and individuality, both of which were of a high order, came in the way of his public acceptance and acclaim. His drawings bear the stamp of a “characteristic and inimitable vision”. His poetry is marked by the utmost subtlety of symbolism and the skill with which it is sustained is truly matchless. The philosophical framework of his poetry is no more than a series of “intuitive flights into the realm of the absolute, soaring with tranquil and imperious assurance”. In Blake’s view the world of children, which is not contaminated by experience, is almost heavenly. In fact childhood is like a compensation for the loss of Eden. In the poems of Blake, the divine that is described is Jesus Christ who, even like human children, was a child once and spoke of the merciful and compassionate heavenly father, God. Children are free from cares and conflicts and always in a state of happiness and harmony with the human society around them and nature.
Automation, Bargaining Power, and Labor Market Fluctuations

We argue that the threat of automation weakens workers' bargaining power in wage negotiations, dampening wage adjustments and amplifying unemployment fluctuations. We make this argument based on a quantitative business cycle model with labor market search frictions, generalized to incorporate automation decisions and estimated to fit U.S. time series. In the model, procyclical automation threats create real wage rigidity that amplify labor market fluctuations. We find that this automation mechanism is quantitatively important for explaining the large volatilities of unemployment and vacancies relative to that of real wages, a puzzling observation through the lens of standard business cycle models.
Molekular Imprinting Polimer Sebagai "Antibody Mimic" dalam Pengujian Klinik
Authors: Nur Hasanah Aliya
Published: July 2019

45 tahun lalu merupakan pertama kali imprinting diperkenalkan dalam dunia polimer organik oleh Gunter Wulff’s. Molekular imprinting polimer adalah  material yang disiapkan dengan keberadaan suatu molekul sebagai cetakan untuk pembentukan sisi ikatan komplementer dengan molekul cetakan. Molekular imprinting polimer dapat menjadi model buatan untuk sisi ikatan biologi yang umumnya ditemukan pada reseptor dan antibodi. Molekular imprinting polimer juga dapat digunakan untuk sistem deteksi yang mengikuti alur sisi ikatan biologi. Molekular imprinting polimer memiliki karakter yang lebih baik dibanding antibodi dalam hal stabilitas fisikokimia, mekanik dan ketahanan terhadap panas. Tetapi, dibalik banyaknya keuntungan yang ditawarkan oleh molekular imprinting polimer sebagai “plastic antibody” atau “antibody mimic”, masih banyak hal yang harus diperbaiki agar material ini dapat betul-betul menggantikan antibodi sehingga bisa digunakan secara luas dalam immunoassay.
Otulipenia, Penyakit Inflamasi Baru yang Mematikan dan Menyerang Anak-Anak
Authors: Nurul Afifah Hafshah
Published: July 2019

Sekelompok peneliti menemukan suatu kondisi inflamasi baru yang disebut otulipenia yang umumnya menyerang anak-anak dibawah 12 tahun. Penyakit langka dan sering kali mematikan ini menyebabkan kegagalan fungsi otulin, suatu gen tunggal pada kromosom 5. Kelompok peneliti ini menemukan keabnormalan gen otulin pada 4 anak dari keluarga Pakistan dan Turki yang mengalami ruam kulit dan peradangan sendi yang tidak dapat dijelaskan. Selain menemukan kategori baru penyakit inflamasi pada manusia yang disebabkan oleh kegagalan ubiquitinasi, peneliti juga merekomendasikan hasil penelitian yang dapat mendorong pengembangan terapi baru untuk pasien penderita penyakit inflamasi dalam rentang yang luas.
Manfaat Alga Merah (Rhodophyta) Sebagai Sumber Obat dari Bahan Alam

Published: July 2019

Indonesia merupakan negara yang kaya akan sumber keanekaragaman hayati dan memiliki kekayaan spesies laut tertinggi. Sekitar 45% spesies rumput laut dunia ada di Indonesia. Dikutip dari laporan ekspedisi Siboga, terdapat sekitar 782 spesies rumput laut di Indonesia dengan 196 spesies alga hijau, 134 spesies alga coklat, dan 452 alga merah. Sayangnya, meskipun terdapat banyak jenis rumput laut yang ditemukan diperairan Indonesia, baru sedikit jenis rumput laut yang diketahui memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi. Padahal menurut FAO, rumput laut merupakan produk yang bisa dikembangkan menjadi makanan, kosmetika, farmasetika, bioetanol, pakan ternak, pakan ikan, aquakultur, dan penanganan limbah air. Rumput laut mengandung berbagai metabolit yang bermanfaat bagi manusia. Dibandingkan dengan rumput laut hijau dan coklat, rumput laut merah (Rhodopyta) merupakan jenis rumput laut yang paling banyak mengandung senyawa metabolit primer dan sekunder. Rumput laut merah dikenal sebagai penghasil phycocolloids seperti agarose, agar, karagenan, dan metabolit sekunder penting lainnya. Review ini bertujuan untuk memaparkan aktivitas-aktivitas biologi yang dimiliki alga merah sebagai bahan referensi berbagai bidang pemanfaatan alga.Kata kunci: Rumput laut, alga, Rhodophyta
Obat Tradisional : Antara Khasiat dan Efek Sampingnya

Published: July 2019

Lingkungan mempunyai peran penting bagi manusia untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya. Bangsa Indonesia secara turun temurun dari generasi ke generasi telah mengenal dan juga menggunakan tanaman yang dimanfaatkan sebagai obat tradisional untuk menanggulangi masalah kesehatan. Pada umumnya penggunaan obat tradisional dinilai lebih aman daripada penggunaan obat modern. Hal ini disebabkan karena obat tradisional memiliki efek samping yang relatif lebih sedikit daripada obat modern. Akan tetapi tetap diperlukan ketepatan penggunaan obat tradisional untuk meminimalisir efek sampingnya, yakni : kebenaran obat, ketepatan dosis, ketepatan waktu penggunaan, ketepatan cara penggunaan, tidak disalah gunakan, dan ketepatan pemilihan obat untuk penyakit tertentu.Kata kunci : obat tradisional, khasiat, efek samping

Trabajadoras, artesanos y mendigos. Una aproximación a las experiencias sociales de trabajo y pobreza en la Buenos Aires de la primera mitad del siglo XIX
Authors: Mitidieri Gabriela , Pita Valeria
Published: July 2019

En el presente artículo se indaga en torno a trayectorias de mujeres y varones a mediados del siglo XIX en Buenos Aires, en cuyas vidas trabajo y pobreza se entrelazaron como parte de sus experiencias de supervivencia. La fuente que se trabaja es un libro de ingresos y observaciones del Asilo de Mendigos de la Municipalidad. Al poner el foco en las trayectorias laborales de los y las asiladas en este momento histórico, sus lugares de origen, su identidad racial, es posible poner en tensión las clásicas divisiones de la historia del trabajo: las dicotomías entre trabajo y pobreza; la división entre trabajo libre y trabajo esclavo; y el divorcio entre el llamado trabajo productivo y el trabajo de servir llevado adelante en las casas. También pone en duda la noción de especialización/calificación como camino de movilidad ascendente, así como la utilidad de ciertas periodizaciones establecidas para pensar los mundos del trabajo a mediados del siglo XIX en Argentina, que no han incluido dimensiones racializadas y engenerizadas.

La buena administración como principio jurídico: una aproximación conceptual
Authors: Correa Andry Matilla
Published: July 2019

El principio de buena administración revela un principio de connotaciones genéricas que resulta, en lo formal, una manera de englobar y de dotar de unidad de sentido a determinadas exigencias que debe observar la Administración Pública en su existencia y a ciertos requerimientos y situaciones que se dan en sus relaciones con los ciudadanos o administrados. De igual forma, resulta pacífico el punto de partida de que el contenido del principio de buena administración ha quedado reconocido y trazado con un carácter plural y heterogéneo, tanto en las consideraciones de la jurisprudencia y la doctrina, como en la normativa que a él se refiere. Así las cosas, el principio de buena administración se reverla o traduce, según ha tenido oportunidad de dejar en claro su evolución dentro del ámbito jurídico, en un conjunto o elenco de principios de alcance o proyección más particularizados que aquél, así como de derechos (de los ciudadanos o administrados) y deberes (de la Administración Pública) que lo concretan.
Las personas con discapacidad: ¿Los desempleados forzosos del capitalismo global?
Authors: Martelli Maximiliano Morales
Published: July 2019

El presente trabajo se ocupará de analizar las relaciones de poder desarrolladas en el seno de la sociedad capitalista, y su responsabilidad en la exclusión del mercado laboral a la que se enfrentan las personas con discapacidad. Las consecuencias que tuvo, sobre este colectivo de trabajadores, la transición de una economía agraria y artesanal a una economía basada en la producción industrial y su consiguiente división técnica del trabajo. Asimismo, analiza la estigmatización de las personas con discapacidad como “no aptos” para el empleo; y el menoscabo producido por el desempleo inducido, como factor inherente a la economía capitalista.
