Authors: Jauhari Muhammad Irham Khoirul , Suherman Agus , Triarso Imam
Published: January 2022

The fishing port has an important role in supporting activities in the fishery sector which includes serving as a place of preparation, and where to land catches as well as market them. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the level of facilities utilization at CFP Bajomulyo using SOAR and assign the development strategy. The research was carried out in January 2021 at the Coastal fishing port in Bajomulyo Village, Juwana District, Pati Regency. A descriptive method was used to analyze the condition of basic, functional and supporting facilities at CFP Bajomulyo. Data collection was carried out using survey methods and direct observations. The result showed 116% of the pier has been used (overutilized), 26% of the FAP building has been used (non-optimally), 36% of the shipping lane’s depth has been used, meaning the depth is sufficient or in accordance with the required standard, and 49% of its width has been used (non-optimally). Conclusively, the development strategies suggested include making an MoU between the government of Pati Regency and Central Java Province and always considering the availability of FRS facilities, ice factories, clean water, and ship docking around CFP Bajomulyo.Keywords:Development strategyPatiCFP BajomulyoSOAR
Drawing upon the evidence to develop a multiagency risk assessment and risk management framework for domestic violence
Authors: Lamb Katie , Forsdike Kirsty , Humphreys Cathy , Hegarty Kelsey
Published: January 2022

Domestic violence poses a threat to the health, safety and wellbeing of women internationally and is associated with a range of physical injuries, chronic mental and physical health issues and death. In recognition of the serious consequences and to guide the allocation of resources, multiple countries have invested in efforts to measure domestic violence risk. This study aimed to determine whether there was an existing validated risk assessment tool with an actuarial element, or a common set of evidence-based risk factors that could be implemented in Victoria, Australia. A tool was sought which would effectively predict risk of severity, lethality and re-assault and support risk management strategies. The tool needed to be suitable for administration by a variety of professionals. Through an audit and analysis of existing tools, the study found an absence of universal standards or guidance for weighting actuarial tools and clear insight into how risk assessments currently inform risk management practice and multidisciplinary responses. However, the literature provides clarity around the key evidence-based risk factors that most commonly form a validated tool for adult victim survivors. The evidence was less definitive in terms of assessing risk of lethality and re-assault for children and young people.
Effect of change in a normative approach on the evaluation of surface scratches on high-precision optical surfaces
Authors: Špína Michal , Procháska František
Published: January 2022

The evaluation of optical surface defects is an integral part of the realization of precise optical elements. In addition to the traditionally used visual inspection procedures based on MIL-O-13830A, procedures based on ISO standards, which underwent some changes in 2017, are coming to the forefront. One of these changes was the omission of equivalent radiometric sizes and their replacement by geometric dimensions. This paper focuses just on the analysis of the impact of this change on the values of specifications defining the requirements on the scratch and dig quality of optical elements. Among other things, this presents a possible way to correct specification classes based on the statistical processing of a set of parameters of imperfections detected on optical element surfaces, which have been realized in the TOPTEC Centre.
Influence and suppression of periodic contour error of tool path and velocity deviations on surface error
Authors: Feng Yunpeng , Cheng Haobo , Hu Min , Zhang Shaohua , Miao Yulu
Published: January 2022

When using multi-axis machines with a pneumatic tool to polish large-aperture optical surfaces, the paths generated by the computer numerical control system deviate from the desired ones. This causes periodic contour errors and surface ripples. In addition, because of the different machine layouts, the tool end velocity also can change. We introduce a multi-axis machine and analyze the surface error and power spectral density (PSD) of three commonly used paths (raster, spiral, and random path) in terms of the contour error using different position interpolation methods. A cubic polynomial is introduced to smooth the axis motion, and a velocity compensation method is considered to diminish the velocity deviation from the machine layout. The results show that the circular interpolation method exhibits a balanced performance in terms of both the contour error and the PSD for various paths. In addition, the optimization can be performed before G-code generation without affecting the characteristics of the original optimization system.
Selective trapping of chiral nanoparticles via vector Lissajous beams
Authors: Wu Hao , Zhang Ping , Zhang Xuejing , Hu Yi , Chen Zhigang , Xu Jingjun
Published: January 2022

We report selective trapping of chiral nanoparticles via vector Lissajous beams. Local optical chirality densities appear in these beams by properly choosing the values of two parameters (p,q) that determine the polarization vectors of light. For a particular set of parameter (p,q) = (2,1) which is found preferable for the selective trapping, the resulting vector beam has two dominant intensity spots with opposite chirality. In the transverse plane, one spot traps a chiral particle while the other one repels the same particle under appropriate conditions, which can be reversed for a particle of opposite chirality. Various chiral parameters and radii of a particle are considered for analyzing this selective trapping effect. The longitudinal forces that are found non-conservative are also discussed. The achieved functionality of identifying and separating different chiral particles may find applications in enantiomer separation and drug delivery in pharmaceutics.
Intermedial annealing process applied during the growth of quantum wells and its influence on the performance of GaN-based laser diodes
Authors: Liang Feng , Zhao Degang , Liu Zongshun , Chen Ping , Yang Jing
Published: January 2022

An intermedial annealing treatment is adopted during epitaxial growth of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) by the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), which is employed after each GaN cap layer growth is finished. Optical power, threshold current and slope efficiency of GaN-based laser diodes is improved through an appropriate intermedial annealing process. A further investigation about the influence of annealing duration on the luminescence characteristics of light-emitting diodes and the surface topography evolution of single quantum well layers is conducted through the study of electroluminescence, temperature dependent photoluminescence and atomic force microscopy. It is found that the improvement of GaN-based laser diode is attributed to reduction of nonradiative recombination centers in MQW, which is due to a better interface quality between well and barrier layers after an intermedial annealing process.

Published: January 2022

Due to the wavelength-selective absorption characteristic of indium gallium nitride (InGaN) ternary alloy, the InGaN-based photodetectors (PDs) show great potential as high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) receivers in the visible light communication (VLC) system. However, the application of InGaN-based PDs with simple structure in the VLC system is limited by slow speed. Integration of graphene (Gr) with InGaN is an effective strategy for overcoming the limitation. Herein, we report on a high responsivity and fast response PDs based on Gr/InGaN heterojunctions. It finds that the three-layer Gr (T-Gr) can effectively improve the InGaN-based PDs photoelectric properties. The T-Gr/InGaN PDs show a high responsivity of 1.39 A/W@−3 V and a short rise/fall time of 60/200 µs, which are attributed to the combination of the high-quality InGaN epitaxial films and finite density of states of three-layer graphene. The fast response with high responsivity endows the T-Gr/InGaN PDs with great potential for selective detection of the VLC system.

Authors: Zhou Ning , Li Jiaji , Sun Jiasong , Zhang Runnan , Bai Zhidong , Zhou Shun , Chen Qian , Zuo Chao
Published: January 2022

We present a 3D label-free refractive index (RI) imaging technique
based on single-exposure intensity diffraction tomography (sIDT) using
a color-multiplexed illumination scheme. In our method, the chromatic
light-emitting diodes (LEDs) corresponding R/G/B channels in an
annular programmable ring provide oblique illumination geometry that
precisely matches the objective’s numerical aperture. A color
intensity image encoding the scattering field of the specimen from
different directions is captured, and monochromatic intensity images
concerning three color channels are separated and then used to recover
the 3D RI distribution of the object following the process of IDT. In
addition, the axial chromatic dispersion of focal lengths at different
wavelengths introduced by the chromatic aberration of the objective
lens and the spatial position misalignment of the ring LED source in
the imaging system’s transfer functions modeling are both corrected to
significantly reduce the artifacts in the slice-based deconvolution
procedure for the reconstruction of 3D RI distribution. Experimental
results on MCF-7, Spirulina algae, and living Caenorhabditis elegans samples demonstrate the reliable
performance of the sIDT method in label-free, high-throughput, and
real-time (∼24 fps) 3D volumetric biological imaging applications.
Measuring the tuning curve of spontaneous parameter downconversion using a comet-tail-like pattern
Authors: Yang Chen , Zhou Zhi-Yuan , Li Yan , Li Yin-Hai , Niu Su-Jian , Ge Zheng , Guo Guang-Can , Shi Bao-Sen
Published: January 2022

Comet-tail-like interference patterns are observed using photons from the spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) process. The patterns are caused by the angular-spectrum-dependent interference and the diffraction of a blazed grating. We present a theoretical explanation and simulation results for these patterns, which are in good agreement with the experimental results. The most significant feature of the patterns is the bright parabolic contour profile, from which one can deduce the parameter of the parabolic tuning curve of the SPDC process. This method could be helpful when designing experiments based on SPDC.
High-extinction-ratio low-voltage dual-racetrack modulator for low-power DAC-less PAM-4 modulation
Authors: Zeng Zhaobang , Leng Lemeng , Zhao Peiyan , Zhang Chenbin , Ding Ding , Mao Dun , Gu Tingyi , Jiang Wei
Published: January 2022

In a parallel-coupled dual-racetrack modulator, resonant light in two resonators can interfere with each other. In lieu of critical coupling, such interference is capable of producing high extinction ratios (ERs) for high-speed modulation. Experiments demonstrate ERs of over 9 dB at 50 Gb/s and 40–50% modulation depth enhancement compared with a single-resonator modulator at 50–56 Gb/s with a peak-to-peak driving voltage of 2.3 V. Furthermore, joint modulation of two racetracks offers the possibility to combine two separate bits of driving signals to generate four-level pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM-4) without an external digital-to-analog converter (DAC). To tackle the complex multi-variable transfer function of this modulator, a procedure for configuring PAM-4 states is theoretically developed. Finally, we demonstrate 100 Gb/s PAM-4 with an electro-optic modulation power consumption of < 40 fJ/bit for this device.

Published: January 2022

Background

Research evidence has established the beneficial effects of diet in cancer prevention; various epidemiological studies have suggested that olive oil component could play a role in decreasing cancer risk. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to investigate the association between olive oil consumption, cancer risk and prognosis.

Methods

A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE and Google Scholar databases (end-of-search: May 10, 2020). Pooled relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were estimated with random-effects (DerSimonian-Laird) models. Subgroup analyses, sensitivity analyses and meta-regression analysis were also performed.

Results

45 studies were included in the meta-analysis; 37 were case-control (17,369 cases and 28,294 controls) and 8 were cohort studies (12,461 incident cases in a total cohort of 929,771 subjects). Highest olive oil consumption was associated with 31% lower likelihood of any cancer (pooled RR = 0.69, 95%CI: 0.62–0.77), breast (RR = 0.67, 95%CI: 0.52–0.86), gastrointestinal (RR = 0.77, 95%CI: 0.66–0.89), upper aerodigestive (RR = 0.74, 95%CI: 0.60–0.91) and urinary tract cancer (RR = 0.46, 95%CI: 0.29–0.72). Significant overall effects spanned both Mediterranean and non-Mediterranean participants, studies presenting a multivariate and a univariate analysis and all subgroups by study quality.

Conclusions

Olive oil consumption seems to exert beneficial actions in terms of cancer prevention. Additional prospective cohort studies on various cancer types and survivors, as well as large randomized trials, seem desirable.
Which factors affect the performance of technology business incubators in China? An entrepreneurial ecosystem perspective
Authors: Yuan Xiangfei , Hao Haijing , Guan Chenghua , Pentland Alex
Published: January 2022

To examine which factors affect the performance of technology business incubators in China, the present study proposes an entrepreneurial ecosystem framework with four key areas, i.e., people, technology, capital, and infrastructure. We then assess this framework using a three-year panel data set of 857 national-level technology business incubators in 33 major cities from 28 provinces in China, from 2015 to 2017. We utilize factor analysis to downsize dozens of characteristics of these technology business incubators into seven factors related to the four proposed areas. Panel regression model results show that four of the seven factors related to three areas of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, namely people, technology, and capital areas, have statistically significant associations with an incubator’s performance when applied to the overall national data set. Further, seven factors related to all four areas have various statistically significant associations with an incubator’s performance in five major regional data set. In particular, a technology related factor has a consistently statistically significant association with the performance of the incubator in both national model and the five regional models, as we expected.
A simple method for unsupervised anomaly detection: An application to Web time series data
Authors: Yoshihara Keisuke , Takahashi Kei
Published: January 2022

We propose a simple anomaly detection method that is applicable to unlabeled time series data and is sufficiently tractable, even for non-technical entities, by using the density ratio estimation based on the state space model. Our detection rule is based on the ratio of log-likelihoods estimated by the dynamic linear model, i.e. the ratio of log-likelihood in our model to that in an over-dispersed model that we will call the NULL model. Using the Yahoo S5 data set and the Numenta Anomaly Benchmark data set, publicly available and commonly used benchmark data sets, we find that our method achieves better or comparable performance compared to the existing methods. The result implies that it is essential in time series anomaly detection to incorporate the specific information on time series data into the model. In addition, we apply the proposed method to unlabeled Web time series data, specifically, daily page view and average session duration data on an electronic commerce site that deals in insurance goods to show the applicability of our method to unlabeled real-world data. We find that the increase in page view caused by e-mail newsletter deliveries is less likely to contribute to completing an insurance contract. The result also suggests the importance of the simultaneous monitoring of more than one time series.
Rate of force development in the quadriceps of individuals with severe knee osteoarthritis: A preliminary cross-sectional study
Authors: Suzuki Yusuke , Iijima Hirotaka , Nakamura Masatoshi , Aoyama Tomoki
Published: January 2022

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a leading cause of knee pain and disability due to irreversible cartilage degeneration. Previous studies have not identified modifiable risk factors for KOA. In this preliminary cross-sectional study, we aimed to test the following hypotheses: individuals with severe KOA would have a significantly lower quadriceps rate of force development (RFD) than individuals with early KOA, and the decrease in quadriceps RFD would be greater than the decrease in maximum quadriceps strength in individuals with severe KOA. The maximum isometric strength of the quadriceps was assessed in individuals with mild (Kellgren and Lawrence [K&L] grade 1–2) and severe KOA (K&L grade 3–4) using a handheld dynamometer. The RFD was analyzed at 200 ms from torque onset and normalized to the body mass and maximum voluntary isometric contraction torque. To test whether the quadriceps RFD was lowered and whether the lower in the quadriceps RFD was greater than the lower in maximum quadriceps strength in individuals with severe knee OA, the Mann–Whitney U-test and analysis of covariance were performed, respectively. The effect size (ES) based on Hedges’ g with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated for the quadriceps RFD and maximum quadriceps strength. Sixty-six participants were analyzed. Individuals with severe KOA displayed significantly lower quadriceps RFD (p = 0.009), the lower being greater than the lower in maximum quadriceps strength (between-group difference, ES: 0.88, -1.07 vs. 0.06, -0.22). Our results suggest that a decreased quadriceps RFD is a modifiable risk factor for progressive KOA. Our finding could help in the early detection and prevention of severe KOA.

Published: January 2022

Echo intensity (EI) is a novel tool for assessing muscle quality. EI has traditionally been reported as the mean of the pixel histogram, with 0 and 255 arbitrary units (A.U.) representing excellent and poor muscle quality, respectively. Recent work conducted in youth and younger and older adults suggested that analyzing specific EI bands, rather than the mean, may provide unique insights into the effectiveness of exercise and rehabilitation interventions. As our previous work showed deterioration of muscle quality after knee joint immobilization, we sought to investigate whether the increase in EI following disuse was limited to specific EI bands. Thirteen females (age = 21 yrs) underwent two weeks of left knee immobilization and ambulated via crutches. B-mode ultrasonography was utilized to obtain images of the immobilized vastus lateralis. The percentage of the total number of pixels within bands of 0–50, 51–100, 101–150, 151–200, and 201–255 A.U. was examined before and after immobilization. We also sought to determine if further subdividing the histogram into 25 A.U. bands (i.e., 0–25, 26–50, etc.) would be a more sensitive methodological approach. Immobilization resulted in a decrease in the percentage of pixels within the 0–50 A.U. band (-3.11 ± 3.98%), but an increase in the 101–150 A.U. (2.94 ± 2.64%) and 151–200 A.U. (0.93 ± 1.42%) bands. Analyses of variance on the change scores indicated that these differences were large and significant (%EI0-50 vs. %EI101-150: p < .001, d = 1.243); %EI0-50 vs. %EI151-200: p = .043, d = 0.831). The effect size for the %EI51-100 versus %EI101-150 comparison was medium/large (d = 0.762), but not statistically significant (p = .085). Further analysis of the 25 A.U. bands indicated that the percentage of pixels within the 25–50 A.U. band decreased (-2.97 ± 3.64%), whereas the 101–125 (1.62 ± 1.47%) and 126–150 A.U. (1.18 ± 1.07%) bands increased. Comparison of the 50 A.U. and 25 A.U. band methods found that 25 A.U. bands offer little additional insight. Though studies are needed to ascertain the factors that may influence specific bands, changes in EI during muscle disuse are not homogeneous across the pixel histogram. We encourage investigators to think critically about the robustness of data obtained from EI histograms, rather than simply reporting the EImean value, in muscle quality research.

Published: January 2022

The development of the Covid-19 vaccine (nationally named Merah Putih Vaccine) is a national innovation activity initiated by the Indonesian central government and coordinated by the National Research and Innovation Agency. This study aims to understand the collaboration between the triple helix components (Industry, Academician, and Government) in the Merah Putih vaccine (MP vaccine). An exploratory study of the actors involved in developing the MP vaccine was carried out through a primary data collection process from January to August 2021. Furthermore, a descriptive analysis of triple helix collaboration discloses components, functions, and configuration in the MP vaccine development. Our finding reveals that the most highlighted issue is the reputation concerning two significant dimensions; scientists' experience or R&D human resources on real-life projects and the R&D facilities and infrastructure. However, neither of the dimensions can accelerate the proof-of-concept vaccine candidate immediately. The critical findings of this research serve as empirical evidence of the barriers and enablers of a national innovation project initiated by the government, as seen from the triple helix collaboration with the emerging issues approach

Researchers’ View on R&D Organizational Change Using the Grief Cycle
Authors: Romadona Mia Rahma , Setiawan Sigit
Published: January 2022

When change becomes a need, research and development organizations must likewise be adaptable to new challenges. The necessary changes will provide difficulties for management to manage human resource development. Failure, stagnation, or success is the eventual consequence of every organizational reform. Organizational changes are effective or unsuccessful based on the implementation strategies used, emphasizing the significance of human development managerial skills, leadership communication, and organizational interpersonal communication. This study aims to present an empirical study of changes occurring in research and development companies using grief cycle analysis. This research utilizes a variety of aspects and documents from prior studies to analyze the collective grief cycle phenomena associated with organizational changes in the R&D sector. The empirical description of the grieving cycle analysis demonstrates that the outcome of the grief cycle process indicates that the organization is not prepared to undertake changes, resulting in the crisis of certain workers. An empirical account of grieving cycle analysis reveals that time and the process of habituation play a significant influence in organizational members acceptance of changes in research and development organizations. Leadership communication and organizational interpersonal communication are critical in influencing organizational members' comprehension and acceptance of organizational goals and change processes..

Bonding Ability of Isopthalic Acid-bis(thiosemicarbozone) to Manganese and Cobalt Metal Ions: Preparation, Spectral Investigation, Computational and in vitro Antipathogenic Screening
Authors: Gautam S. , Pipil P. , Kumar A. , Alka  , Singh J. , Ravikant  , Singhal S. , Sagar S.K.
Published: January 2022

Manganese and cobalt complexes have been designed and prepared with a tetradentate ligand i.e. isopthalic acid-bis(thiosemicarbozone) (IPBT), which bind to metal ions via donor atoms present in ligand. Different spectroscopic techniques viz. nuclear magnetic resonance, infra red, mass, electronic spin resonance and analytical studies have been used to determine the chemical composition of synthesized IPBT and its Mn(II) and Co(II) complexes. The spectroscopic data exposed that IPBT behaves in a tetradentate (N2S2) mode by having ability to bind with metal ions through N2S2 atoms. An octahedral structure for manganese and cobalt complexes has been suggested on the basis of spectroscopic as well as analytical studies. The ligand (IPBT) and its metal(II) complexes have been screened to determine their antipathogenic activity against some selective microorganisms S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, E. coli, A. niger, M. phasolina and P. glomerata. In this experimental work, well diffusion and poisoned food techniques have been introduced for screening purpose and as standard drugs neomycin and chlorothalonil have been used. Data for antipathogenic screening exposed that metal complexes exerted higher activity towards all examined microbes (bacteria and fungi) even than ligand.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar como a Literatura africana de língua portuguesa se apresenta na coleção Português Contemporâneo diálogo, reflexão e uso, ensino médio dos autores Cereja; Viena; Damien (2016), adotada pela Escola de Referência Anisio Veras, da cidade de Verdejante-PE. A pesquisa está fundamentada em estudos que abordam a Literatura africana e seu contexto de ensino em livros didáticos no ensino médio, como podemos destacar em Brasil (2008); Abdala Júnior (2006), Souza (2006), Machado (2010) Silva (2003), Sidrim (2019), Lopes (2010), Chaves (2006), Honwana (2006), Fonseca; Moreira (2017), Ferreira (1987), dentre outros. A metodologia utilizada na pesquisa foi de natureza qualitativa, do tipo documental e método dedutivo, Fachin (2006), Prodanov; Freitas (2013) e Cardano (2017). Os resultados indicam que o ensino da literatura africana na coleção analisada é pouco explorado, uma vez que no volume I quase não encontramos nenhum conteúdo; no volume II apenas uma citação por conta de uma entrevista realizada com o cantor Emicida acerca do racismo e, no volume III nos deparamos com apenas um capítulo que apresenta uma pequena discussão de textos e autores. Dessa forma, vemos que os livros didáticos não contemplam em sua totalidade os estudos voltados para as literaturas africanas. --- This research aims to analyze how Portuguese-speaking African Literature is presented in the Contemporary Portuguese collection dialogue, reflection and use, secondary education by the authors Cereja; Vienna; Damien (2016), adopted by the Anisio Veras Reference School, in the city of Verdejante-PE. The research is based on studies that address African Literature and its context of teaching in textbooks in high school, as we can highlight in Brazil (2008); Abdala Júnior (2006), Souza (2006), Machado (2010) Silva (2003), Sidrim (2019), Lopes (2010), Chaves (2006), Honwana (2006), Fonseca; Moreira (2017), Ferreira (1987), among others. The methodology used in the research was qualitative, documental and deductive method, Fachin (2006), Prodanov; Freitas (2013) and Cardano (2017). The results indicate that the teaching of African literature in the analyzed collection is little explored, since in volume I we hardly found any content; in volume II there is only a quote due to an interview carried out with the singer Emicida about racism and in volume III we are faced with only one chapter that presents a small discussion of texts and authors. In this way, we see that textbooks do not fully include studies aimed at African literatures.

Estudo oriundo de projeto guarda-chuva de ação multicêntrica, do Núcleo Interdisciplinar de Estudos e Extensão em Cuidados à Saúde da Família em Convibilidade com Doenças Crônicas (Niefam). Teve como enquadramento teórico a resiliência e o envelhecimento reprodutivo. Objetivou realizar intervenção educativo-cuidativa na perspectiva do empoderamento de mulheres em fase de climatério/menopausa e em enfrentamento de doenças crônicas, Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS) e Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2), e avaliar o efeito da intervenção nos marcadores de HAS, DM2 e na percepção de viver a fase de meia-idade. De método misto e intervencionista, realizado na Bahia, entre agosto de 2019 a julho de 2020, com dezessete mulheres participantes do Niefam. Para a coleta dos dados, utilizou-se de entrevista semiestruturada individual e em grupo; oficinas educativas e rodas de conversa. Os dados quantitativos foram submetidos à análise estatística descritiva e os qualitativos, à análise de conteúdo. Os resultados demonstraram tratar-se de mulheres de autoestima elevada, conscienciosas do seu processo de saúde-doença, nomeadamente as doenças crônicas não transmissíveis que as acometem, como a HAS em 100% das participantes, assim como obesidade grau II e III, e DM2. Conclui-se que as mulheres de meia-idade podem (re)elaborar a experiência com o seu corpo e sua saúde quando empoderadas às suas potencialidades resilientes.
Para uma pedagogia do patrimônio
Authors: Rocha Gilmar
Published: January 2022

A Educação Patrimonial é hoje objeto de política nacional, e desperta o interesse de instituições da sociedade civil e da Academia. Este texto apresenta, de maneira breve e exploratória, o processo de “institucionalização da Educação Patrimonial” em tempos recentes no Brasil, tendo como foco principal o papel desempenhado pelo Instituto de Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN). Ao que tudo indica, assistimos desde então a elevação da Educação Patrimonial em algo mais denso e profundo do que somente uma política de Estado, senão uma pedagogia de ensino, pesquisa e extensão, que, ao longo do tempo, pode contribuir para que se repense o próprio significado da Educação. Trata-se de uma reflexão epistemológica com motivação antropológica.

In this study we reported cultivation of bacteria associated with mangrove soil from the Ngurah Rai Mangrove Forest, Bali. Mangrove soil samples were serially diluted using sterile artificial seawater, spread onto Starch Casein M agar and incubated at 28oC for 28 days. Cultivation of mangrove soil samples yielded 165 bacterial colonies with 68 isolates were selected and purified based on different morphology. Of these 68 isolates, 22 isolates displayed antibacterial activities ranging from weak to strong inhibition against at least one of four bacterial indicators namely Staphyloccocus aureus, Streptococus mutans, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae using perpendicular streak method. Overall, 19 out of 22 bacteria isolates displayed weak antibacterial potential and two isolates exhibited moderate antibacterial activity. The isolate SA4 was the only bacterium with strong antibacterial potential with measured clear distance â‰¥ 10 mm against the four bacterial isolates. Sequence analysis based on 16S rRNA gene fragment assigned the isolate SA4 as Bacillus subtilis strain BIL/BS-168. Overall, this study confirmed the untapped potential of antibacterial activities from bacteria associated with mangrove soil.

Diabetes mellitus is a common risk factor for erythrocyte osmotic stress. This study was aimed at exploring the effect of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus and salt-induced hypertension on osmotic fragility and hemorheological variables in male Wistar rats. Thirty male rats were grouped into five groups of six animals each as follows: negative control (zero salt in diet); positive control (normal salt diet - 0.3% salt); high salt diet (8% salt) (HSD only); STZ induced diabetes and normal salt diet (STZ only); STZ induced diabetes and high salt diet (STZ + HSD). At the end of a 4 weeks period, hematological variables, osmotic fragility, rheology and cardiovascular responses were assessed. There was an increase (p<0.05) in the mean arterial pressure and heart rate of HSD, STZ and HSD + STZ groups indicating a salt induced hypertension. There was a decrease in the body weight of STZ and HSD +STZ groups. There was significant increase (p<0.05) in the haematocrit, platelets estimates and fibrinogen concentrations in the experimental groups when compared with the controls. The STZ and STZ + HSD groups showed a reduced clotting time which corresponded to the increased platelet estimates and fibrinogen concentration. The increase in haematocrit, platelet and plasma protein resulted in the increased blood viscosity and a decreased flow rate. The osmotic fragility test was also observed to be increased (p<0.05) in HSD, STZ only and STZ + HSD groups. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension increase the rate of hemolysis of erythrocyte, as well as increase blood viscosity.
