It has been shown that soil management under organic farming can enhance soil organic carbon, thereby mitigating atmospheric greenhouse gas increases, but until now quantitative evaluations based on long term experiments are scarce, especially under Mediterranean conditions. Changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) content were examined in response to organic management with cover crops in a Mediterranean citrus plantation using 21 years of survey data. Soil organic carbon increase was more apparent 5 years after a land management change suggesting that, for citrus plantations on Mediterranean conditions, studies should be longer than five years in duration. Soil organic carbon sequestration rate did not significantly change during the 21 years of observation, with values ranging from -1.10 Mg C ha-1 y-1 to 1.89 Mg C ha-1 y-1. After 21 years, 61 Mg CO2 ha-1 were sequestered in long-lived soil C pools. These findings demonstrate that organic management is an effective strategy to restore or increase SOC content in Mediterranean citrus systems.

Aim. It is not possible to study the mechanisms of formation and functioning of the Caspian coastal ecosystems without analyzing the hydrobiological situation of the surrounding water area as a whole. In this regard, the main objective of the research is to study the biodiversity and the quantitative assessment of the zooplankton communities of the coastal waters of Tyuleniy Island and its lagoon areas. Methods. Zooplankton samples were selected seasonally using quantitative methods in order to assess the hydrobionts and current recommendations for material processing. This work represents a continuation of our research launched in 2015 in the coastal area of Tyuleniy Island and its inner lagoon. The qualitative, quantitative and seasonal nature of the distribution of zooplankton in the investigated area of the sea in modern conditions was described. Results. It is shown that the open areas of the island represent a rich taxonomic structure and high density, consisting of a mixed freshwater and brackish-water hydrobiont complex. Conclusions. In general, the zooplankton complex of the Tyuleniy Island water area is a fairly stable ecosystem with a well-developed plankton community. However, for a more complete assessment of its state, seasonal dynamics, and potentials of its food supply for the fish population in the water area, long-term comprehensive monitoring studies are needed.

The purposeof this study was to develop data about growth-weighted indexes of men of youthful and Mature age, ethnic Kyrgyz.

Material and methods. 955 men of youthful and Mature age, ethnic Kyrgyz living in Osh and its vicinities, practically healthy were examined. The method of complex anthropometry included estimation of 21 parameters necessary for somatotyping. The length and weight of the body were determined. Morphometric data processing was carried out with the help of statistical programs Microsoft Excel and STATISTICA 6.0 package. The differences between the two compared values were considered reliable according to the student's criterion at p < 0.05.

Results. Somatotyping of men showed predominance of abdominal somatotype, with a minimum percentage of breast somatotype. The analysis of growth-weight indicators in different somatotypes showed that regardless of the somatotype, the length of the body increases slightly during the transition from adolescence to the 1st period of adulthood, which is explained by the continuation of growth processes. A slight decrease in body length in the 2nd period of adulthood is due to natural physiological processes and is a proven age-dependent fact.

Conclusion. In the result of the study shows the distribution in the relative number of different somatotypes of men in the Kyrgyz population; shows the age and somatotypological characteristics of height and body mass that has significant scientific and practical importance.

NATIONAL AND CULTURAL SPECIFICS OF REPRESENTATION OF THE CONCEPT ‘HEART’ (on materials of M. Joldasbekov’s works)
Authors: Musabekova Urzada Abilkasimovna , Kultursynova Farida Balabekovna
Published: January 2019

We reveal the specificity of the linguocultural aspect of language verbalization of the concept ‘HEART’ in the Kazakh language worldview on the example of M. Joldasbekov's publicistic and artistic works. The interest in these publications is quite high: they give an assessment of many events that humanity witnessed, and reading forces to take a fresh look at the events of those years. At the same time, taking into account the special, individual style of writing, it is impossible not to try to comprehend the imagery and aesthetic relations of the writer to the content of his own text, as well as to highlight comprehension of basic concepts of the Kazakh mentality, in particular the concept of ‘HEART’. The source of this research is the concept ‘HEART’ in the Kazakh language worldview. The research is determined by the necessity for linguistic and cognitive understanding of the content ‘HEART’, revealing the features of the concept functioning. Being the basic component of a personality in the minds of native speakers of the Kazakh language, the concept of the inner world is significant for the Kazakh-speaking society.

Published: January 2019

The neologization with the popularity of the Internet occurs actively in the contemporary Russian language. Not only mass media but also common people, Internet users contribute significantly. New words from the media discourse get into word creating rates of Internet project “Word of the Year”. On the one hand, ranked lists are the indicators of social changes, on the other hand, they reflect linguocreative potential of people, who participate in lists formation. Creative speech activity relates to language game. One of the main rules of such a game is the understanding of conditions of a certain speech (game) code both by a creator of a word and by an interlocutor. Conducted analysis shows that authors mostly use the model of compressive word creation and it proves high creative potential, freedom of speech behavior and linguistic sense of native speakers, who strive to the self-expression with word creation. New formations created by methods of paronymic attraction and blend words save semantic links with original words. So they have semantic of motivating words in their meaning and have advantage over descriptive constructions. Thus, methods of word creation, which allow describing social and political events of a country or a personal life with a new bright word with evaluative element in it, are popular in the contemporary word creative activity.

We show linguistic expertise of controversial advertising texts as current but not enough developed direction in the Russian linguistic expertology. Linguistic violations classification in the sphere of regional advertising practice, linguistic expertise modern methods and problem aspects of this activity are shown. The issue of making stylistic norms easier and its liberation in advertising communication, linguistic game as a source of provocative advertisement is in the centre of attention. According to the experience of regional practice of linguistic expertise of controversial advertising texts we find ways of indecent overtone formation. Moreover there are advertising messages basing on linguistic discrimination of users who do not use the product. It is also noticed that one of the modern channels broadcasting discredit information are social networks, which became promotion platform for unreliable information, that discredit business reputation of the company or its product; as an example we use “fake” advertising company of 2018 in social network Vkontakte. Materials for the research are mostly regional (Omsk) outdoor and Internet advertising projects (50 texts are analyzed). As basic we use analysis methods such as contextual, semantic, semantic and stylistic, communicative and pragmatic.
Los juegos del dictador: Rafael Trujillo, el centenario dominicano y la solidaridad antillana durante los Juegos Interantillanos de 1944 = The Dictator’s Games: Rafael Trujillo, the Dominican Centenary, and Antillean Solidarity during the 1944 Inter-Antillean Games
Authors: Sotomayor Antonio
Published: January 2019

Resumen: Este artículo analiza los Juegos Interantillanos realizados en Ciudad Trujillo (Santo Domingo) en 1944. Dicha competencia fue parte de las celebraciones oficiales del centenario de la República Dominicana y participaron los tres países hispano-Caribeños: Cuba, Puerto Rico y la República Dominicana. Entre los objetivos de los Juegos se contaba fomentar la fraternidad en el Caribe hispano. Sin embargo, el mensaje de paz y hermandad que el discurso oficial de los Juegos promovía contrasta con la dictadura del General Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. El argumento de este estudio es que los Juegos Interantillanos sirvieron como una herramienta al servicio de la hegemonía dictatorial y complementaba la brutal represión del trujillato. Estos Juegos también contribuyeron a reforzar la identidad de la República Dominicana como una nación hispano-Caribeña, diferente y superior de sus vecinos no-hispanohablantes, especialmente en comparación a Haití.Palabras clave: Juegos Interantillanos, Movimiento Olímpico, República Dominicana, Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, Solidaridad, Centenario.Abstract: This project analyzes the Inter-Antillean Games held in Ciudad Trujillo (Santo Domingo) in 1944. That tournament was part of the official celebrations of the Dominican Republic’s Centennial celebrations and featured the three Spanish speaking Caribbean countries: Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. Among the Games’ objectives was fostering Spanish Caribbean confraternity and goodwill. However, the Games’ message of peace and goodwill that the official discourse promoted contrasts with the dictatorship of General Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. This article argues that the Inter-Antillean Games served as another hegemonic tool of the regime and complemented the trujillato’s brutal repression. It also served as a way to further establish the Dominican Republic as a “Spanish” Caribbean nation, different and better than their nonHispanic Caribbean neighbor, especially to Haiti.Keywords: Inter-Antillean Games, Olympic Movement, Dominican Republic, Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, Solidarity, Centenary.
Antibacterial potential of Ocimum sanctum oils in relation to Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212
Authors: Prisinda Diani , Setiawan Ame Suciati , Fitriadi Fajar
Published: January 2019

Background: Enterococcus faecalis is a Gram-positive cocci present in the root canal due to the failure of endodontic treatment and  pulp tissue necrosis. The ideal root canal medicine offers biocompatible properties, ease of cleaning, absence of tooth staining and non-disruption of the root canal filling process. Basil (Ocimum sanctum) is one of the herbs widely used in salads which produces anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral effects. The antibacterial effect of basil results from the eugenol which represents a main component demonstrating antibacterial properties. Basil essential oil has an antibacterial effect on both gram positive and gram-negative bacteria. Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether the essential oils contained in basil leaves offer any antibacterial potential with regard to the growth of Enterecoccus faecalis ATCC 29212. Methods: The research was experimental in nature incorporating a simple random sampling technique. In this study, groups of active substance compounds contained in basil leaves were extracted by distillation in order to obtain the essential oil. Preparation of the test solution involved essence of basil leaf oil at concentrations of 5,000 ppm, 10,000 ppm and 20,000 ppm in methanol solvent. A phytochemical test of basil was subsequently conducted in order to identify the content of the compound. The bacteria in this study was tested utilizing a disc diffusion method (Kirby and Bauer test) by measuring the diameter of the clear zone (clear zone) which is indicative of the bacterial growth inhibition response of antibacterial compounds in the extract. Results: The results of the research into the phytochemical test showed that basil contains phenolic flavonoids, triterpenoids, saponins, tannins which produce a negative result on steroids. The results of this study showed that the basil essential oil inhibition zone present in the Enterecoccus faecalis growth had a diameter of 11.70 mm at a concentration of 20,000 ppm. This concentration therefore proved most effective in relation to Enterococcus faecalis than other concentrations. Conclusion: It can be concluded that essential oils of basil leaves demonstrate anti-bacterial inhibitory properties with regard to Enterococcus faecalis.

Authors: Ferdynanto Reyhan Alvaryan , Dharmayanti Priska Evita Setia , Dewi Putu Tahlia Krisna , Prananingrum Widyasri
Published: January 2019

Background: Porosity is an important property that must be possessed by scaffold due to its role in new bone growth. Hydroxyapatite is a scaffold material with a composition resembling that of bone that can be synthesized from cockle shell (Anadara granosa). Purpose: This research aimed to determine the effects of various HA-TCP concentrations (wt%) derived from cockle shell synthesis on scaffold porosity. Methods: HA-TCP was synthesized from cockle shells using a hydrothermal method at 200o C with a 12-hour sintering process period. An XRD test was subsequently carried out to determine the composition of hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) compounds. Eighteen scaffold samples (n=6) were then produced using a freeze dry method and divided into three groups, namely; Group 1 (K1) treated with 5% HA-TCP, Group 2 (K2) treated with 25% HA-TCP and Group 3 (K3) treated with 50% HA-TCP. Thereafter, a scaffold porosity test was conducted using liquid displacement method. Scaffold porosity was observed by means of an SEM image. A One-Way ANOVA test was subsequently performed, followed by an LSD Post-Hoc test (p <0.05). Results: The results of the XRD test showed that the percentage of HA was 51.5%, while TCP was 16.8%. The porosity of the scaffolds was within the range of 67.24% - 80.17%. The highest porosity was found in Group 1, while the lowest occurred in Group 3. There were significant differences in all groups. Conclusion: The concentration of HA-TCP derived from the synthesis of cockle shells affects the porosity of scaffold. The lower the concentration of HA-TCP, the higher the scaffold porosity.

Authors: Hutomo Suryani , Putri Denise Uatami , Suryanto Yanti Ivana , Susilowati Heni
Published: January 2019

Background: Streptococcus sanguinis is an oral commensal bacterium commonly found in periodontal lesions and deep abscesses that are usually dominated by anaerobic bacteria. As an important causative agent of systemic diseases, and with the increasingly numerous cases of antimicrobial resistance, some means of modulating the immune response to bacterial infection is thus necessary. Phyllanthus niruri Linn is widely used as a medicinal herb to both prevent and treat disease and demonstrates immunomodulatory properties. Purpose: This study aimed to observe the potential for aqueous extract of Phylanthus niruri to induce macrophage proliferation and NO production following S. sanguinis infection. Methods: Macrophages were isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy subjects, stimulated with P. niruri aqueous extract in graded doses and infected with S. sanguinis ATCC 10556 bacterial suspension. Cell proliferation and nitric oxide release was observed at 24 and 48 hours to determine macrophage activities. Results: NO production and cell proliferation started to increase upon 50 and 100µg/ml P niruri respective stimulation. Statistical analysis using One-way Anova demonstrated a significant difference of cell proliferation after stimulation with P. niruri aqueous extract at various doses (p<0.05). Conclusion: P. niruri aqueous extract induced macrophage proliferation and NO secretion upon S sanguinis infection, showing potential antibacterial and immunomodulatory activities. At the same concentrations, NO production and macrophage were higher at 48 hours than at 24 hours.

Published: January 2019

Este trabalho apresenta resultados relativos à análise e interpretação de dados morfométricos e observacionais da bacia do rio Barra Grande, no oeste de Santa Catarina em termos de sua morfodinâmica e do trabalho fluvial na esculturação do relevo dessa bacia. Dentre os principais resultados obtidos está a caracterização de uma morfogênese ativa cujos processos desnudam o Planalto dos Campos Gerais e elabora a superfície do Planalto Dissecado do rio Uruguai a partir do trabalho fluvial na paisagem. A rede de drenagem de padrão subdendrítico apresenta predomínio de canais escoando em leito rochoso (bedrock channels) e distribuição subhorizontalizada de tributários de 1ª e 2ª ordem em relação aos canais principais dispostos no sentido NW-S, N-S e NE-S. A distribuição dos declives pela bacia demonstra maiores declividades junto às encostas dos eixos principais de drenagem desde a foz até as cabeceiras, sem associação específica com a atual feição da escarpa erosiva. As planícies de inundação se apresentam de modo descontínuo e compostas, em sua base, por cascalhos e blocos rochosos que são os materiais predominantes fornecidos pelas porções de média e alta vertente. A distribuição de lineamentos extraídos a partir de modelo de relevo sombreado sobre um Modelo Digital de Elevação (MDE) apresentou uma associação de 62% desses lineamentos com elementos morfológicos e topográficos da paisagem (declives acentuados, escarpa erosiva e canais de drenagem). Por outro lado, uma quantidade de 38% não apresentou associação direta com nenhuma feição morfológica específica, estando associados principalmente ao sombreamento a partir de diferentes iluminações do modelo e topos de morro. A tendência côncava dos perfis longitudinais de canal da bacia, juntamente com a associação dos lineamentos aos elementos morfológicos, permite supor uma associação à dinâmica geomorfológica da bacia sem influência direta de movimentações tectônicas recentes ou fatores estruturais marcantes.
Макрофитобентос бухты Казачья (Чёрное море) в осенний период 2017 г.
Authors: Александров В. В.
Published: January 2019

В последние два десятилетия отмечено ухудшение качества среды бухты Казачья, обусловленное интенсивным хозяйственным освоением её побережья. Поскольку антропогенное влияние уже привело к деградации ключевых сообществ макрофитобентоса на многих участках прибрежной зоны г. Севастополя, оценка современного состояния донных фитоценозов б. Казачья является актуальной задачей. Цель работы — изучить видовой состав и количественные показатели макрофитобентоса б. Казачья, проанализировать многолетние изменения её донных фитоценозов. Исследования выполнены в западной части б. Казачья в сентябре 2017 г. на глубине 3, 5, 6, 8 и 17 м. Обнаружен 41 вид макрофитов: 13 — зелёных водорослей, 1 — харовых, 10 — бурых, 13 — красных, а также 4 вида цветковых растений. Впервые для данной акватории отмечены Chaetomorpha gracilis, Cladophora vagabunda, Lamprothamnium papulosum, Myrionema strangulans. На мягких грунтах на глубине 3 м обнаружен фитоценоз Zostera noltii + Stuckenia pectinata с биомассой 905 г·м-2; на 6 и 8 м он сменяется монодоминантными сообществами Zostera noltii с биомассой 691 и 390 г·м-2 соответственно. Мозаичное распределение микрогруппировок Zostera noltii и Cystoseira crinita со средней биомассой 1017 г·м-2 отмечено на глубине 5 м, где наряду с песчаными встречаются твёрдые грунты. Фитоценозы Phyllophora crispa с биомассой 290 г·м-2 расположены у входа в б. Казачья на глубине 17 м. За период с 1999 по 2017 г. биомасса фитоценозов морских трав снизилась в 2–3 раза, при этом исчезли фитоценозы Zostera marina, а их место заняли сообщества с доминированием Zostera noltii. Биомасса фитоценозов филлофоры за этот период возросла почти вдвое.

Published: January 2019

Фотосинтетически активная радиация играет важную роль в регулировании жизнедеятельности морских макрофитов, поэтому задача определения зависимости концентрации фукоксантина (Фк) у бурых водорослей рода Cystoseira от энергии светового потока представляется актуальной. Талломы C. barbata и C. crinitа отбирали с глубины от 0,5 до 1,0 м в условно чистом районе Южного берега Крыма (пгт Форос) и в акватории с умеренной антропогенной нагрузкой (г. Севастополь, б. Карантинная). Годовая динамика содержания Фк у макрофитов имеет хорошо выраженные периоды максимума и минимума. Пик концентрации Фк приходится на осенне-зимний период. Минимальные значения пигмента отмечены при максимальной освещённости в весенне-летний период. Моделирование зависимости содержания фукоксантина у бурых водорослей рода Cystoseira от интенсивности общего светового потока с помощью полиномиальной аппроксимации позволило установить, что данный процесс хорошо описывается биквадратным уравнением с высоким коэффициентом детерминации.
Generative Music with the Living Machine: Using Rule-Based Improvisation to Generate Narrative and Soundtrack
Authors: Martin Ryan
Published: January 2019

This paper proposes the term generative improvisation to describe free improvisations that are constrained by a set of human-determined limits. The purpose of this term is to emphasize the way that rules limit performer choices and define the meanings of different musical gestures to generate specific kinds of performances. By examining Narrative Generator (for Living Machine), a rule-based improvisation for narrator, instruments, and electronics, I demonstrate that generative improvisation can be used to produce a performance of a coherent improvised narrative and soundtrack by basing the rules of the work on the theories and practices employed in film and video games. From there, the paper examines the relationships between different performers, the performers and the composer, and the composer, performer, and audience in the work, discussing the potential impacts of these relationships. Finally, I consider the role accessibility plays in spreading these potential impacts to a broader audience.
HERMENEUTICAL APPROACH TO THE QUR’AN
Authors: Wekke Ismail Suardi , Firdaus Acep;
Published: January 2019

This paper discusses the contribution of a prolific author and an Egyptian scholar Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd and his hermeneutical approach to the Qur’an. The article argues that Abu Zayd is a Muslim reformer of the twentieth century through his takwil (hermeneutical concept). His hermeneutical concept is questioning the “an-nash (textual)” tradition of the Qur’an and the transformation of Arab culture from oral to text-oriented culture in the earliest history of the Qur’an. He differentiates between tanzil (message sent to man) to takwil (interpretation of the message). This article further argues that Abu Zayd’s hermeneutical concept should be understood from the history of revelation which speaks to a particular community and respond to a particular situation. Thus, the Qur’an itself is a living phenomenon and open for interpretation, rather than a closed corpus.

Nematode samplings in cultivated and wild olive in Crete, Greece, yielded the presence of Bitylenchus hispaniensis, Helicotylenchus microlobus, Helicotylenchus vulgaris, Merlinius brevidens, and Pratylenchoides alkani. With the exception of H. microlobus and M. brevidens, reports of these plant-parasitic nematode species constitute new records for Greece. Bitylenchus hispaniensis is also reported for first time in a country outside of Spain, where it was originally described. Pratylenchoides alkani is herein reported for the second time in the Mediterranean area and for the first time in association with olive. Two further populations of H. microlobus and H. vulgaris, from walnut and goji berry from Greece, were identified. Molecular data for all of these nematode species are provided, resulting in the first integrative identification of these Greek populations.
Discovery and Identification of Meloidogyne Species Using COI DNA Barcoding
Authors: Powers Thomas , Harris Timothy , Higgins Rebecca , Mullin Peter , Powers Kirsten
Published: January 2019

DNA barcoding with a new cytochrome oxidase c subunit 1 primer set generated a 721 to 724 bp fragment used for the identification of 322 Meloidogyne specimens, including 205 new sequences combined with 117 from GenBank. A maximum likelihood analysis grouped the specimens into 19 well-supported clades and four single-specimen lineages. The “major” tropical apomictic species (Meloidogyne arenaria, Meloidogyne incognita, Meloidogyne javanica) were not discriminated by this barcode although some closely related species such as Meloidogyne konaensis were characterized by fixed diagnostic nucleotides. Species that were collected from multiple localities and strongly characterized as discrete lineages or species include Meloidogyne enterolobii, Meloidogyne partityla, Meloidogyne hapla, Meloidogyne graminicola, Meloidogyne naasi, Meloidogyne chitwoodi, and Meloidogyne fallax. Seven unnamed groups illustrate the limitations of DNA barcoding without the benefit of a well-populated reference library. The addition of these DNA sequences to GenBank and the Barcode of Life Database (BOLD) should stimulate and facilitate root-knot nematode identification and provide a first step in new species discovery.

Published: January 2019

An alternative control method to the use of chemical insecticides against soil dwelling insect pests is the application of entomopathogenic nematodes formulated in alginate beads for enhanced shelf life. The aim was to compare the benefit on nematode survival and infectivity of: (i) pre-conditioning of juveniles, and (ii) coating of alginate beads. The nematodes Steinernema glaseri, Steinernema carpocapsae, and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora were reproduced in last instar larvae of the wax moth Galleria mellonella and the infective juveniles emerged were subjected to two capture treatments: white traps and plaster of Paris, the latter was utilized as a pre-conditioning treatment. A total of 1,000 infective juveniles were formulated in each sodium alginate bead with or without an alginate coating. The beads were stored at 23 ± 3°C and a bidistilled water suspension of nematodes was set as a control. The survivorship of these formulates and their infectivity on Galleria mellonella larvae were evaluated every 7 d post-formulation (dpf). In beads without pre-conditioning juveniles nor coating, Steinernema carpocapsae had the higher survival rate (58.8%), the longest survival time (28 dpf) and the higher infectivity (100%) as well. Pre-conditioning improved the survival and infectivity of Steinernema glaseri by 22.5% at 21 dpf and 70.0% at 14 dpf, respectively. Alginate coating increased survival (21.7%) and infectivity (95%) of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora for up to 28 dpf. The combination of pre-conditioning and coating slightly favored the survival (10% for up to 14 dpf) of Steinernema glaseri and infectivity (100% for up to 35 dpf) of Steinernema carpocapsae. Non pre-conditioned Steinernema carpocapsae formulated in uncoated beads was the combination with better performance in survivorship (58.8%) and infectivity (100%) at 28 dpf. It was concluded that non pre-conditioned Steinernema carpocapsae formulated in uncoated beads was the combination with better survivorship and infectivity.
Capillary rise and saliferous groundwater evaporation: effects of various solutes and concentrations
Authors: Xing Xuguang , Li Xianwen , Ma Xiaoyi
Published: January 2019

Capillary rise is capable of demonstrating the mechanism involved in groundwater evaporation, where the evaporation from saliferous groundwater could be quantized in accordance with fresh groundwater. The two types of experiments included 12 treatments with four solutes (KCl, NaCl, CaCl2, and MgCl2) that were dissolved in groundwater at three concentrations (5, 30, and 100 g/L), and one control treatment without the salt solutions. The results demonstrated that the capillary action played a dominant role only within a very short period of time at the beginning of evaporation (i.e. within 2 min). The total dissolved solids (TDS) of the groundwater that was dissolved with KCl or NaCl affected the capillary water gravity more than soil pore structure. The TDS of the groundwater that was dissolved with CaCl2 or MgCl2 affected both the capillary water gravity and the soil pore structure. During the groundwater evaporation process, the evaporation conversion coefficient CTDS (>1.0) had the potential to calculate the saliferous-groundwater evaporation in accordance with the fresh-groundwater evaporation. The CTDS values were the largest for the groundwater that was dissolved with KCl/NaCl and CaCl2/MgCl2 at 5 and 30 g/L, where it reached average values of 1.3530–1.3735 and 1.3257–1.3589.

Psychopathological and Psychosocial Repercussions of Suicide in the Family
Authors: Sales Amanda Patricia , Santana da Silva Tatiana Paula , Sougey Everton Botelho , Saraiva Câmara Filho José Waldo
Published: January 2019

Background:

Although the relationship between the occurrence of suicide and the
presence of psychosocial suffering in bereaved relatives is clear, there are still few studies that deal
with the detail of these repercussions and the therapeutic conduction given to them for the suicide.

Objective:

to carry out an integrative review on the psychopathological and psychosocial
repercussions of suicide in the family, with emphasis on the detail of the main psychopathological
characteristics presented by the individuals and the psychosocial impacts of mourning.

Method:

An integrative review was performed. The guiding question considered Population
Intervention Comparator Outcome Setting and the revision protocol is in agreement with Preferred
Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes. The search occurred in the bases:
Periodicals CAPES, PsycINFO and PubMed. Original articles were included, without language
restriction that emphasized psychopathological and psychosocial aspects of the mourners after
suicide. We excluded review studies, clinical cases, editorials and retrospectives.

Results:

The process of suicide mourning for family members is a complex event, marked by stigma
and can predispose patients to mental illness and suicidal behavior, especially in the early years of
mourning. In addition, it is necessary to expand the scope of evidence on the effectiveness of
support and intervention with this population.

Conclusion:

Bereaved families need specialized preventive support insofar as the complexity of
bereavement becomes a vulnerability factor for mental illness.
Molecular and Metabolic Imaging of Hepatic Neuroendocrine Tumors Following Radioembolization with 90Y-microspheres
Authors: Filippi Luca , Cianni Roberto , Schillaci Orazio , Bagni Oreste
Published: January 2019

Liver is the predominant site of metastatization for neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Up
to 75% of patients affected by intestinal NETs present liver metastases at diagnosis. For hepatic
NET, surgery represents the most effective approach but is often unfeasible due to the massive involvement
of multifocal disease. In such cases, chemotherapy, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy
and loco-regional treatments may represent alternative therapeutic options. In particular,
radioembolization with 90Y-microspheres has been introduced as a novel technique for treating
hepatic malignant lesions, combining the principles of embolization and radiation therapy. In order
to evaluate the response to 90Y-radioembolization, standard radiologic criteria have been demonstrated
to present several limitations. 18Fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography
(PET) is routinely used for monitoring the response to therapy in oncology. Nevertheless,
NETs often present low glycolytic activity thus the conventional 18FDG PET may not be adequate
for these tumors. For many years, somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) with 111In-pentetreotide
has been used for diagnosis and staging of NETs. More recently, three 68Ga-DOTA-compounds
have been developed and introduced for the imaging of NETs with PET technology. The aim of the
present paper was to review the existing literature concerning the application of different metabolic
and molecular probes for the imaging evaluation of hepatic NETs following 90Y-RE.

Published: January 2019

Background:

Valvular heart disease is a serious disease leading to mortality and increasing
medical care cost. The aortic valve is the most common valve affected by this disease.
Doctors rely on echocardiogram for diagnosing and evaluating valvular heart disease. However, the
images from echocardiogram are poor in comparison to Computerized Tomography and Magnetic
Resonance Imaging scan. This study proposes the development of Convolutional Neural Networks
(CNN) that can function optimally during a live echocardiographic examination for detection of the
aortic valve. An automated detection system in an echocardiogram will improve the accuracy of
medical diagnosis and can provide further medical analysis from the resulting detection.

Methods:

Two detection architectures, Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD) and Faster Regional
based Convolutional Neural Network (R-CNN) with various feature extractors were trained on
echocardiography images from 33 patients. Thereafter, the models were tested on 10 echocardiography
videos.

Results:

Faster R-CNN Inception v2 had shown the highest accuracy (98.6%) followed closely by
SSD Mobilenet v2. In terms of speed, SSD Mobilenet v2 resulted in a loss of 46.81% in framesper-
second (fps) during real-time detection but managed to perform better than the other neural
network models. Additionally, SSD Mobilenet v2 used the least amount of Graphic Processing
Unit (GPU) but the Central Processing Unit (CPU) usage was relatively similar throughout all
models.

Conclusion:

Our findings provide a foundation for implementing a convolutional detection system
to echocardiography for medical purposes.

Published: January 2019

Background:

Many pyrazole piperazine derivatives are known to exhibit a wide range, thus
being attractive for the drug design and synthesis of interesting class of widely studied heterocyclic
compounds. It is therefore necessary to devote continuing effort for the identification and development
of New Chemical Entities (NCEs) as potential antibacterial and anticancer agents to address serious
health problems.

Methods:

A series of new compounds containing pyrazole ring linked to a piperazine hydrochloride
moiety were synthesized and screened for their antibacterial activity, cytotoxicity of novel scaffolds are
described by variation in therapeutic effects of parent molecule. The structure variants were characterized
by using a blend of spectroscopic 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, Mass and chromatographic techniques.

Results:

When tested for in vitro antibacterial and anticancer activities, several of these compounds
showed good activities. The target compounds 9b, 9a and 9e exhibited a high degree of anticancer activity
against human colon cancer cell line Caco-2 and human breast cancer cell line MDAMB231. Further,
9a, 9b, 9d, and 9h showed better activity towards four medically relevant organisms;
Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella Species compared to CPF. In
the present investigation, cheminfomatics tools Molinspiration, 2003 and MolSoft, 2007 for the
prediction of insilico molecular properties and drug likeness for the target compounds 9a-h was
evaluated and positive results were observed.

Conclusion:

Our study revealed that the molecular framework presented here could be a useful template
for the identification of novel small molecules as promising antibacterial/ anticancer agents.
Optimal Sensor Placement Algorithm for Structural Damage Identification
Authors: Li C.H. , Yang Q.W.
Published: January 2019

Background:

Structural damage identification is a very important subject in the field of
civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering according to recent patents. Optimal sensor placement
is one of the key problems to be solved in structural damage identification.

Methods:

This paper presents a simple and convenient algorithm for optimizing sensor locations for
structural damage identification. Unlike other algorithms found in the published papers, the optimization
procedure of sensor placement is divided into two stages. The first stage is to determine the
key parts in the whole structure by their contribution to the global flexibility perturbation. The
second stage is to place sensors on the nodes associated with those key parts for monitoring possible
damage more efficiently. With the sensor locations determined by the proposed optimization
process, structural damage can be readily identified by using the incomplete modes yielded from
these optimized sensor measurements. In addition, an Improved Ridge Estimate (IRE) technique is
proposed in this study to effectively resist the data errors due to modal truncation and measurement
noise. Two truss structures and a frame structure are used as examples to demonstrate the feasibility
and efficiency of the presented algorithm.

Results:

From the numerical results, structural damages can be successfully detected by the proposed
method using the partial modes yielded by the optimal measurement with 5% noise level.

Conclusion:

It has been shown that the proposed method is simple to implement and effective for
structural damage identification.
