Authors: Padmandani Widi Palupi Ayu , Dewi Sumartini , Hamijoyo Laniyati
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease which presents immunological, endothelial dysfunction, skin and organs fibrosis. The inflammatory process is an important pathophysiology of systemic sclerosis. Disease activity assessment using clinical parameters of Modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) changes and inflammatory laboratory parameters of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Erytrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and soluble CD40 ligand. The European Scleroderma Study Group (EscSG) Activity Index uses CRP. CRP is higher sensitivity and specificity than ESR (80% and 91.2%). The study aims to evaluate the correlation between CRP and sCD40L with disease activity by mRSS.Methods: This research was a cross-sectional study, and data of mRSS and sCD40L were obtained from the study, "Blind Clinical Trials Extract Ciplukan Herbs on Clinical Improvement of Skin Disorders, Inflammatory Process, Immunology and Fibrosis in Scleroderma Patients”. CRP examination was done by using the rest samples of the study, conducted in December 2017. Data analysis with Rank-Spearman and Pearson Correlation..Result: There were fifty-eight subjects with mean age 38 ± 11 years old. Most of subjects were female (94.8%) and with a late disease duration > 2 years (74.1 %). Subjects consisted of 35 (60.3%) diffuse SSc and 23 (39.7 %) limited SSc. CRP was measured by Turbidimetric Immunoassay. Median (range) CRP serum was 2.89 (0.16–17.29) mg/L, while the median of sCD40L was 6457 (1018–17976) pg/mL, and the median of mRSS was 17 (4–36). There was no correlation between CRP and sCD40L with mRSS (r = -0.134, p = 0.167; and r = 0.023, p = 0.433).Conclusion: There was no correlation between CRP and sCD40L serum with mRSS in systemic sclerosis patients.

Published: May 2020

Background: Eugenia polyantha, Apium graveolens, and Nigella sativa are extracts which in preclinical trial can reduce uric acid serum, increase urinary uric acid excretion. Allopurinol is an inhibitor of the xanthine oxidase enzyme which can also reduce the increase of hsCRP in subjetcs with hyperuricemia.

 

Objective: To determine the safety and effect of herbal extracts in reducing serum uric acid, increasing uric acid excretion and reducing hsCRP levels in patients with hyperuricemia compared with allopurinol.

 

Method: This study was a double blind randomized controlled trial (RCT). The subjects were hyperuricemic patients aged ³18 years. The subject was divided into groups that received 3000 mg/day of herbal extracts and allopurinol 100 mg/day for 4 weeks. Evaluation of serum uric acid and urinary uric acid urine were every week, and hsCRP levels was baseline and end of intervention. Other parameters related to the safety of use were examined every 2 weeks.

 

Results: A number of 44  hyperucemia subjects, 23 subjects received herbal extracts and 21 subjects received allopurinol. The decrease of uric acid serum levels in the herbal extract group was 0,467±1,123;0,600;-2,70-3,00 (p=0.027), while in the allopurinol group 1,11

Authors: Rasyid Irham , Hidayat Syarief , Hamijoyo Laniyati
Published: May 2020

Background. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease involving many organs including the cardiovascular system such as accelerated atherosclerosis or premature atherosclerosis. Atherosclerotic plaque can cause coronary heart disease, ischemic stroke and peripheral arterial disease, which are the main causes of death in the world. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of carotid artery atherosclerosis plaques in patients with SLE.

Method. This research is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. Carotid artery atherosclerosis plaques in SLE patients were assessed by analysing results of carotid ultrasound examinations that were conducted in 2017-2018. The inclusion criteria of this study were SLE patients who had undergone carotid doppler ultrasound B mode examination on the carotid artery for the period of 2017-2018. The exclusion criteria in this study were SLE patients with a history of stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and significant coronary artery disease.

Result. This study involved 88 SLE patients who met the inclusion criteria. Results showed that there were 10 SLE patients (11.4%) who had atherosclerotic plaques. SLE patients with atherosclerosis plaque were mostly in the age range of 35-44 years (16%) and 45-54 years (22.2%). There were 2 patients (15.3%) with atherosclerotic plaque from a total of 11 patients had high triglyceride levels (≥150 mg/dL). Chi square analysis of lipid profiles (cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides) in patients with atheroclerotic plaque revealed not significant (p>0.05). These findings could be caused by several factors, such as the small number of samples in this study and the non-traditional factors in the formation of atherosclerotic plaque as well as other traditional factors

Conclusion. The prevalence of carotid artery atherosclerosis plaques in patients with SLE in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in 2017-2018 is 11.4%.

Authors: Saputro Ryan Ardian , Andayani Santi , Usman Stefanie Yuliana , Hamijoyo Laniyati
Published: May 2020

Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with heterogeneous clinical manifestations including fatigue. Previous studies aimed at proving the relationship between fatigue and SLE disease activity showed conflicting results. In 2015, Asia Pacific Lupus Collaboration (APLC) developed low disease activity criteria, named Lupus Low Disease Activity State (LLDAS). Patients who spend more time in LLDAS have significantly lower morbidity. This study aimed to evaluate the association between disease activity based on LLDAS and fatigue.   

Methods: This is a analytical cross-sectional study. Subjects were SLE patients at rheumatology clinic in Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung during June-January 2018. Subjects were evaluated based on LLDAS criteria and divided into 2 groups: LLDAS and non-LLDAS. Fatigue status of the subjects was assessed with Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS).

Results: A hundred and thirty-three subjects were included in this study, divided into 63 subjects in LLDAS group and 60 subjects in non-LLDAS group. Nineteen subjects (30.2%) in LLDAS group had fatigue and 39 subjects (65%) in non-LLDAS had fatigue. There was a significant association between LLDAS and fatigue (p< 0.001). Nonetheless, fatigue level in LLDAS group was still high since disease activity was not the only factor related to fatigue. Fatigue may be a distinct clinical manifestation of neuropsychiatric lupus and may be independent of lupus disease activity

Conclusions: There was a significant association between LLDAS and fatigue showed by lower fatigue level was found in the LLDAS group than in the non-LLDAS group.

Free radicals are involved in neurodegenerative disorders such as ischemia and aging. Treatments with Spirulina have been shown to reduce neurodegenerative changes in animals. The present study has been designed to examine the potential neuroprotective effects of Spirulina platensis (Sp.) against AlCl3-induced neurotoxicity in different regions of brain (cerebral cortex, hippocampus and hind brain) of rats. AlCl3 caused significant increase in thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, tumor necrosis factor-a and aluminium concentration, while decrease glutathione, total antioxidant capacity, antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GST and GPx), total thiol content, monoamine oxidase, Na+-K+ ATPase and total ATPase. These results were confifirmed by histopathological and fluorescence examination of different regions of brain. Cerebral cortex and hippocampus of AlCl3 showed loss of normal structure, neuronal degeneration and increase in the number of neurodegenerative features, more illuminated aggregates, higher fluorescence emission intensity in the presence of amyloid protein fifibrils. While, the presence of Spirulina with AlCl3 in the combination group exhibited more normal neurons with few pyknotic nuclei and residual fine vacuolations and reduction in the number of illuminate aggregates. Collectively, Spirulina platensis supplementation could overcome AlCl3-induced neurodegenerative disorder by abolishing oxidative tissue injuries.

Published: May 2020

The evolution of artificial intelligence has led to the developments of various smart applications such as the pattern recognition models. Pattern recognition techniques has as widely applied in many real life applications such character recognition, speech recognition, and bio-metric authentication as well person identification. In this paper, we report on the detailed design of pattern recognition system using Hopfield Feedback Neural Network (HFNN) with the least possible recognition error. As a case study, we have applied the proposed HFNN model to recognize the decimal digits 0 - 9 where each image digit comprises a 12x10 pixels. The developed HFNN model has been efficiently used in recognizing the patterns with 20% random bit noise at maximum recognition accuracy. However, to assure the the least possible recognition error, we have trained our HFNN through the digit patterns’ perdition phase of 0% noisy patterns and the system was able to correctly predict all the patterns without any bit error. Finally, we have plotted all output patterns including the desired patterns, the training patterns, the 20% noisy patterns and recognized patterns, for comparison purposes and to gain more insights about the accuracy achieved by applying the proposed HFNN.

La silloge è stata ispirata dall’osservazione e dall’ascolto, ricettivi, degli elementi della natura in ambiente montano, alpino, che potrebbe essere quello “di casa”, le Prealpi Orobie, ma anche qualsiasi altro luogo di montagna frequentato dall’autrice. Esprime il senso di un’appartenenza profonda, ineludibile, pacificante a un mondo di relazioni eque, oggettive, multidirezionali.

 

    The poems were inspired by the keenly receptive observation of natural elements in a mountainous environment - possibly the author’s “home,” the Prealpi Orobie in Italy, but also whatever other mountain landscape she has happened to experience in her hikes and climbing. The triptych expresses the profound sense of an unavoidable and pacifying belonging to a world of even, objective, and multiple relations.

 

           La inspiración para los poemas vino de la observación intensamente receptiva de los elementos naturales en un entorno montañoso (probablemente el "hogar" de la autora, el Prealpi Orobie en Italia, pero también de cualquier otro paisaje de montaña que haya experimentado mientras hacía senderismo y escalada). El tríptico expresa el sentido inevitable y pacificador de pertenecer a un mundo de relaciones regulares, objetivas y múltiples.
The problem of structural unemployment at the present stage of labour market development in Ukraine
Authors: HUSIEV Artem
Published: May 2020

The article explores the theoretical and methodological basis of the problem of structural unemployment. The economic essence of the phenomenon has been identified, as well as the main reasons for its emergence in the context of globalization. The main types of structural unemployment are given: technological, territorial-industry. The relationship between the digitalization of business processes due to scientific and technological progress and the increase in the level of structural unemployment in the country has been revealed. The problem of structural unemployment in Ukraine at the present stage has been analyzed. The concept of public policy on structural unemployment has been proposed.
Structural unemployment is a kind of unemployment, which arises as a result of structural changes in the economy of the country, exists under any economic system, its complete elimination is impossible. Depending on the reason for the emergence of structural unemployment is technological and geographically-sectorial unemployment.
Technological unemployment is typical for highly developed countries with a high level of digitalization economy and is a consequence of automation of workplaces. Technological unemployment leads to transformations in the structure of demand for labor: withering some professions and the emergence of others. Such unemployment is a positive thing for the country's economy as a whole, so the main measures are to remove negative consequences of this unemployment for individual workers. In Ukraine, due to the relatively low rate of scientific and technological progress, the problem of technological unemployment, compared to developed countries, is less urgent.
Geographically, the branch unemployment is caused by disproportions between supply and demand of manpower in certain areas or regions. In Ukraine and other countries with a transitive economy, this type of structural unemployment is more widespread. Balancing the demand and supply on the labor market at the mesoeconomic level is the main direction of the State policy on reducing the level of territorial and industry unemployment in Ukraine.

The existence of butterflies in an ecosystem acts as a bioindicator, pollinator, and high aesthetic value. The type and number of butterflies are influenced by various environmental factors, one of the most important factors is the types of plants as vegetation habitat. The existence of different habitat conditions can be found in several areas in the Talang Lakat Resort TNBT Utilization Zone, namely in the area of ​​Mu'un Lake and Camp Granite. The study was to identify and inventory the Rhopalocera butterfly based on morphological characters and the presence of differences in habitat vegetation in the two areas in the TNBT utilization zone. The method used is the method of roaming with the help of insect nets. Sampling was carried out starting from the morning (08.00-11.00 WIB) until the afternoon (15.00-17.30 WIB). Samples obtained immediately made insectarium and identified. The results obtained are that there are some different types of butterflies and plants between the Granite Camp region (15 and 26 species) and mu'un lake (7 and 15 species). The butterflies obtained consisted of the Hesperiidae, Lycaenidae, Papilionidae, Nympalidae and Pieridae families. The highest number of species and individuals of butterflies in the two regions comes from the Nympalidae Family. The differences in the types of butterflies in the two regions are influenced by the quite high differences in the number of plant species that dominate in each region which is a habitat for butterflies. Besides physical factors also support the existence of butterflies (temperature, light intensity, humidity)
TÜRKİYE'DE KREDİ VE MEVDUAT DOLARİZASYONU: MAKROEKONOMİK GÖSTERGELERİN VE ALINAN ÖNLEMLERİN YANSIMALARI (2015: 3-2019: 12)

Dolarizasyon, bir ülke tarafından yabancı bir paranın ulusal para yerine kullanılmasıdır. Dolarizasyonun temel nedenleri arasında; makroekonomik istikrarsızlık, piyasa yapısındaki eksiklikler ile düzenleyici çerçevedeki aksaklıklar ve de güven kaybı yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 2015: 3-2019: 12 döneminde, Türkiye'de kredi ve mevduat dolarizasyonun ölçülmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ölçüm sonucunda, 2015 yılının ilk çeyreğinde % 30 olan kredi dolarizasyonun 2019 yılının son çeyreğinde % 38.2' ye, 2015 yılının ilk çeyreğinde % 38.8 olan mevduat dolarizasyonun ise 2019 yılının son çeyreğinde % 47.7'ye yükseldiği tespit edilmiştir. Dolarizasyona karşı alınan tüm tedbirlere rağmen, 2015: 3-2019: 12 döneminde makro ekonomik göstergelerde yaşanan dalgalı seyrin, ulusal paraya güven tesis edilmesine ve dolayısıyla dolarizasyon verilerinin 2015 yılı seviyesine düşürülmesine engel teşkil ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, ekonominin genelinde sağlanacak istikrarın, dolarizasyon sürecinde başarılı olunması için ön koşul niteliğinde olduğu ortaya konulmuştur.

CREATING STUDENTS’ ALGORITHMIC SELVES: SHEDDING LIGHT ON SOCIAL MEDIA’S REPRESENTATIONAL AFFORDANCES
Authors: Kalpokas Ignas , Sabaliauskaitė Emilija , Pegushina Victoria
Published: May 2020

This article presents and analyses the results of focus group studies conducted with students at an international
university in Lithuania, interpreting the results in light of the extant literature on social media’s impact on the creation and performance
of the self. The authors reveal a mixed picture whereby the respondents seem to demonstrate an unexpectedly casual and cynical attitude towards
social media while, upon closer inspection, still remaining part of social media’s productive exchanges, contributing their data and attention
in return for satisfaction. Hence, while by no means rejecting the standard interpretation provided in mainstream literature, the authors are
able to present a more complex and nuanced picture of young people’s attitudes towards and interaction with social media and the self-creation
affordances thereof, ultimately a close, constitutive, and creative interrelationship between humans and code.
A WORK OF ART IN THE SPACE OF NETWORK CULTURE: CREATIVITY AS BRICOLAGE
Authors: Safina Aynur , Gaynullina Liliana , Cherepanova Ekaterina
Published: May 2020

The development of modern informational-communication technologies has led to the occurrence of the new unique
sociocultural phenomenon – a network culture, with irony as the dominating rhetoric. In the space of network culture, under digital
technologies, the forms, types, and functions of art, and creativity in general, change. The paper states that communication becomes
the main function of art, while a work of art more and more becomes an object of communication. The authors propose to broaden the volume
of creativity conception, going beyond the classical interpretation towards a broader understanding of this phenomenon, namely, creativity
as bricolage. The methodological basis of the bricolage model of creativity, relevant for the new media art, is the concept of “bricolage”
developed by Claude Lévi-Strauss.

Published: May 2020

We present a long temporal baseline variability survey in the Frontier Field MACSJ1149. In this study, we identify active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and other transient sources via their variability using over a decade of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images for thousands of galaxies in the cluster region and detect significant variability in galaxies extending down to an apparent nuclear magnitude of m

i
 < 26.5. Our analysis utilizes HST images obtained in six different wavelengths from 435 nm to 1.6 microns and covers timescales 12 hr to 12 yr apart. We find that ∼2% of galaxies in these images are variable, with 49 AGN candidates and 4 new supernovae candidates detected. Half of the variables are in the cluster and these are primarily elliptical galaxies displaying variability only in the near-infrared bands. About 20% of the AGN candidates have morphologies and colors consistent with quasars, though most of the variables appear to be dominated by the host galaxy light. The structure function for these sources shows a greater amplitude of variability at shorter wavelengths, with slopes shallower than typical quasars. We also report a previously unknown Einstein cross identified in this field.

Published: May 2020

Analyzing Chandra data of Tycho's supernova remnant (SNR) taken in 2000, 2003, 2007, 2009, and 2015, we search for time-variable features of synchrotron X-rays in the southwestern part of the SNR, where stripe structures of hard X-ray emission were previously found. By comparing X-ray images obtained at each epoch, we discover a knot-like structure in the northernmost part of the stripe region became brighter particularly in 2015. We also find a bright filamentary structure gradually became fainter and narrower as it moves outward. Our spectral analysis reveals that not only the nonthermal X-ray flux but also the photon indices of the knot-like structure change from year to year. During the period from 2000 to 2015, the small knot shows a brightening of ∼70% and hardening of ΔΓ ∼ 0.45. The time variability can be explained if the magnetic field is amplified to

and/or if magnetic turbulence significantly changes with time.
Circular Polarization from Inhomogeneous Synchrotron Sources
Authors: Björnsson C.-I.
Published: May 2020

Inhomogeneities can influence the polarization emerging from a synchrotron source. However, it is shown that the frequency distribution of circular polarization is only marginally affected, although its magnitude may change substantially. This is used to argue that the observed properties of compact radio sources imply a radiating plasma in which the characteristic waves are nearly circular. As a result, restrictions can be put on the low-energy part of the energy distribution of the relativistic electrons as well as the presence of electron–positron pairs. It is emphasized that this constrains theoretical modeling of the acceleration process for the relativistic electrons; for example, some of the currently popular scenarios seem to need modifications to become consistent with observations.
The Impact of Type Ia Supernovae in Quiescent Galaxies. I. Formation of the Multiphase Interstellar Medium

Published: May 2020

A cool phase of the interstellar medium has been observed in many giant elliptical galaxies, but its origin remains unclear. We propose that uneven heating from Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), together with radiative cooling, can lead to the formation of the cool phase. The basic idea is that since SNe Ia explode randomly, gas parcels that are not directly heated by SN shocks will cool, forming multiphase gas. We run a series of idealized high-resolution numerical simulations and find that cool gas develops even when the overall SN heating rate H exceeds the cooling rate C by a factor as large as 1.4. We also find that the time for multiphase gas development depends on the gas temperature. When the medium has a temperature T = 3 × 106 K, the cool phase forms within one cooling time

; however, the cool phase formation is delayed to a few times

for higher temperatures. The main reason for the delay is turbulent mixing. Cool gas formed this way would naturally have a metallicity lower than that of the hot medium. For constant H/C, there is more turbulent mixing for higher-temperature gas. We note that this mechanism of producing cool gas cannot be captured in cosmological simulations, which usually fail to resolve individual SN remnants.
