Published: October 2020

Keseimbangan adalah komponen yang penting dalam kehidupan manusia. Keseimbangan terdiri dari keseimbangan statis dan dinamis. Keseimbangan statis adalah dasar terbentuknya keseimbangan dinamis. Jika keseimbangan statis terganggu, keseimbangan dinamis pun akan mengalami gangguan. Menari adalah aktivitas yang membutuhkan fungsi keseimbangan yang tinggi. Gerakan tarian yang repetitif dan melebihi lingkup gerak sendi dapat menyebabkan kondisi generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) pada penari. Tujuan Penelitian ini adalah untuk dapat menganalisis adanya hubungan antara generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) dengan keseimbangan statis pada penari di Kota Denpasar. Metode pada penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik cross sectional yang dilakukan pada bulan April-Mei 2019. Jumlah sampel pada penelitian ini adalah 48 perempuan usia 16-25 tahun. Variabel independen yang diukur ialah generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) dengan menggunakan beighton score. Pengukuran variabel dependen, yaitu keseimbangan statis dilakukan dengan standing stork test. Uji korelasi dengan uji Spearman’s Rho menunjukan hasil p = 0,000 (p<0,05). Hasil tersebut menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan antara generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) dengan keseimbangan statis pada penari usia 16-25 tahun di Kota Denpasar.

Banking Governance, Financial Performance and Corporate Social Responsibility
Authors: Jamali Hisnol
Published: October 2020

A sample of 37 banks is believed to have gained enough information during 2015-2019 to analyze the bank on the Indonesian Stock Exchange, up to 185. The use of the chow test explains if the modeling is a fixed effects model, so the information obtained is more accurate. This study confirms that if a large of board size affects the ability to monitor business operations properly, CSR disclosure may be higher. Apparently, every board meeting is discussed on CSR disclosures. In fact, independent commissioners or non-executive directors trigger CSR disclosure. Later, the financial performance component stated that increased leverage affected low CSR while on the other hand high company size and profitability resulted in better CSR disclosure. Operating banking is not only profitable but requires active participation shown to stakeholders and environmental concern as it ensures continuity of operations so that the bank is a system unit of the surrounding social system.
En las entrañas del caimán. La simbología del caimán en la arqueología
Authors: Cifuentes Toro Arturo
Published: October 2020

Se trata de mostrar en el artículo la importancia que representa para la cultura monolítica la imagen de saurios o lagartos. Si bien es cierto que otras imágenes animales llamaron la atención de arqueólogos e historiadores centrando el foco de atención en el jaguar, la serpiente, el águila, entre otros. La presencia del caimán en las esculturas agustinianas indica un culto al animal que abundaba en el Magdalena. Observando los dibujos desdoblados de las esculturas de San Agustín, elaborados por Velandia (1994), vemos los afilados colmillos del animal, similares a los puntiagudos dientes del jaguar. Y nos sorprende además uno de los resultados obtenidos por Velandia en la parte posterior de la escultura «después de reconstruir lo desarmado fue un taimado caimán que nos mira de frente».

Authors: Contreras Ferrer Carlos , Padilla Bejarano José Bestier
Published: October 2020

El fortalecimiento de los esquemas de protección de la propiedad intelectual a nivel global es una tendencia que se reafirma con el Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Right – TRIPS establecido en 1994 en el marco de las acciones de la Organización Mundial de Comercio. Desde entonces, la discusión sobre el impacto de este mecanismo en los países en vía de desarrollo está abierta. Este artículo recoge argumentos en pro y contra del beneficio de este acuerdo y en complemento expone planteamientos que intentan una aplicación equilibrada del TRIPS que atienda tanto los intereses de países desarrollados como países en vía de desarrollo, siendo la principal conclusión la consolidación de esquemas flexibles en función de las condiciones específicas de países y de sectores.
Algunos fundamentos para el análisis discursivo y semiótico de las representaciones de los actores del conflicto en la caricatura política en Colombia
Authors: Barragán Gómez Rafael Alberto
Published: October 2020

En el contexto del conflicto político que vive la nación colombiana desde hace más de cincuenta años se puede corroborar la enorme influencia de la prensa escrita, especialmente en las décadas de los años cuarenta y cincuenta, en la consolidación de representaciones de los avatares del conflicto y, en especial, de sus protagonistas. Si bien dicho fenómeno se ha abordado desde diversas disciplinas, no abundan los estudios sobre el rol desempeñado por el lenguaje o, para ser más precisos, el discurso en tales representaciones. A eso se suma el escaso aprovechamiento de las teorías y métodos útiles para dar cuenta de las formas en que interactúan los variados sistemas semióticos que, en el caso de la gran prensa escrita de la época, constituyen auténticas prácticas discursivas de gran impacto en la sociedad. Dichas prácticas establecieron como agenda social el estado del proceso político al tiempo que actuaron como vehículo privilegiado para la consolidación de representaciones sobre el rival.Este artículo, continuación de un proyecto sobre la imagen como discurso, aborda las complejas interrelaciones entre los textos escritos y los textos visuales, concretamente la caricatura política, un subgénero del dibujo con gran arraigo en la tradición periodística colombiana. Para ello se intentan conciliar nociones provenientes de la semiótica visual y el análisis del discurso (perspectivas críticas y sistémico-funcionales) partiendo de la base de que la coexistencia de este tipo no es meramente casual sino que obedece a un criterio de elaboración de un tipo de discurso multisemiótico, sustentado en la noción de multimodalidad, que garantiza su eficacia.Se espera elaborar un análisis inicial de este tipo de textos constituidos como espacio ideal donde se reflejan y refractan ideologías políticas en un escenario tan complejo como el del conflicto colombiano.

Authors: Huggi Vishal , Yogesh K. , Jacob George , Pai Shailesh , Kumar Ajith , Arya Samarth
Published: October 2020

Objectives:

We aim to study the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury to proximal tibia bone morphology in Indian patients.

Materials and Methods:

Forty male subjects who sustained non-contact ACL injury who presented to our center between October 2015 and December 2016 studied and compared to 40 non-ACL injury knee magnetic resonance imaging scans. Notch morphology and both medial and lateral posterior tibial slope measurements were performed and studied.

Results:

We noted that the difference in notch depth and notch angle between the two groups was not significant. There was a statistically significant higher incidence of ACL injury in patients with smaller notch widths. Both an increased medial and lateral posterior tibial slope did not demonstrate a statistically significant incidence in ACL injury.

Conclusion:

Notch width is a major contributing risk factor for ACL injury in Indian patients. This is in agreement with previously published literature.

Carbon-supported Platinum Electrocatalysts probed in a Gas Diffusion Setup with Alkaline Environment: how Particle Size and Mesoscopic Environment influence the Degradation Mechanism
Authors: Alinejad Shima , Quinson Jonathan , Schröder Johanna , Kirkensgaard Jacob J. K. , Arenz Matthias
Published: October 2020

In this work, we investigate the stability of four different types of Pt/C fuel cell catalysts upon applying accelerated degradation tests (ADTs) in a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) setup equipped with an anion exchange membrane (AEM). In contrast to previous investigations exposing the catalysts to liquid electrolyte, the GDE setup provides a realistic three-phase boundary of the reactant gas, catalyst and ionomer which enables reactant transport rates close to real fuel cells. Therefore, the GDE setup mimics the degradation of the catalyst under more realistic reaction conditions as compared to conventional electrochemical cells. Combining the determination of the loss in electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) of the Pt/C catalysts via CO stripping measurements with the change in particle size distribution determined by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements, we demonstrate that i) the degradation mechanism depends on the investigated Pt/C catalyst and might indeed be different to the one observed in conventional electrochemical cells, ii) degradation is increased in an oxygen gas atmosphere (as compared to an inert atmosphere), and iii) the observed degradation mechanism depends on the mesoscopic environment of the active phase. The measurements indicate an increased particle growth if small and large particles are immobilized next to each other on the same carbon support flakes as compared to a simple mix of two catalysts with small and large particles, respectively.
High Throughput Virtual Screening of 230 Billion Molecular Solar Heat Battery Candidates

Published: October 2020

The dihydroazulene/vinylheptafulvene (DHA/VHF) thermocouple is a promising candidate for thermal heat batteries that absorb and store solar energy as chemical energy without the need for insulation. However, in order to be viable the energy storage capacity and lifetime of the high energy form (i.e. the free energy barrier to the back reaction) of the canonical parent compound must be increased significantly to be of practical use. We use semiempirical quantum chemical methods, machine learning, and density func- tional theory to virtually screen over 230 billion substituted DHA molecules to identify promising candidates. We identify a molecule with a predicted energy density of 0.38 kJ/g, which is significantly larger than the 0.14 kJ/g computed for the parent compound. The free energy barrier to the back reaction is 11 kJ/mol higher than the parent com- pound, which should correspond to a half-life of about 10 days - 4 months. This is considerably longer than the 3-39 hours (depending on solvent) observed for the parent compound and sufficiently long for many practical applications. Our paper makes two main important contributions: 1) a novel and generally applicable methodological approach that makes screening of huge libraries for properties involving chemical reactivity with modest computational resources, and 2) a clear demonstration that the storage capacity of the DHA/VHF thermocouple cannot be increased to >0.5 kJ/g by combining simple substituents.

Published: October 2020

Aim.To perform comparative analysis of right ventricular (RV) structure and function in patients with various cardiovascular diseases using modern echocardiographic technologies in comparison with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Materials and methods.The study included 85 patients. Group 1 consisted of 32 patients with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (IPH) (mean age 35.910.2 years). Group 2 included 27 patients with arterial hypertension (AH) grade 3 (mean age 58.612.3 years). Group 3 consisted of 26 patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) (mean age 56.115.3 years). Control group included 28 healthy volunteers (mean age 38.710.9 years). The main method was transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) using modern technologies, such as three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE), tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), and speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). In some patients and healthy volunteers 3DE data were compared with MRI data.
Results.Patients with IPH and CHF had minimal RV ejection fraction (EF) both according to 3DE and MRI. Correlation analysis revealed close correlation between RV volumes and EF according to 3DE and MRI. Minimal values of systolic indicator STV according to TDI were observed in patients with CHF. In all groups, including control group, the highest values of STV were obtained at the level of the basal segments and the lowest values at the level of apical segments. STE revealed the same pattern as TDI. According to STE minimal RV strain was observed in IPH and CHF groups and significantly differed not only from control group, but also from AH group.
Conclusion.The lowest values of RV EF and strain were observed in IPH and CHF groups. There were no significant differences in these indicators between the groups, that dictates the need for thorough assessment of RV structure and function not only in patients with precapillary, but also with postcapillary pulmonary hypertension. The results of the study confirm good comparability of 3DE and MRI in assessing RV volumes and EF.

Authors: Mironova (Staroverova) A. I. , Panchenko E. P. , Kropacheva E. S. , Zemlyanskaya O. A.
Published: October 2020

Aim.To analyze the frequency of resumption of anticoagulant therapy (ACT) after major and clinically significant bleeding among AF patients who received oral anticoagulants and were observed in the Department of clinical problems of atherothrombosis from 1999 to 2019 within the retro-prospective register Regata-2, and to search for clinical factors associated with recurrence of hemorrhagic complications among patients who resumed anticoagulant therapy after a bleeding episode.
Materials and methods.In cohort study of patients with high-risk AF with absolute indications for ACT we enrolled 290 AF patients (130 women and 160 men) aged 32 to 85 years (the average age was 65.188.89 years). During the follow-up period, 92 patients developed hemorrhagic complications, and 73 of them resumed ACT. 35 of the 73 patients who resumed ACT developed a relapse of major/clinically significant bleeding.
Results.The frequency of resuming ACT after the first hemorrhagic complication increased over time from 75% in the period from 19992003 to 90% in the period 20152019. We were not able to establish an exact relationship between the presence of concomitant pathology and the decision to resume the ACT after bleeding. The only reliable reason for refusing to resume the ACT was the patients categorical reluctance. Among patients who had recurrent hemorrhagic complications, the total score on the Charleson comorbidity scale was significantly higher (4.232.01vs3.521.43;p=0.0425). Patients with recurrent bleeding were significantly more likely to suffer from CKD with a decrease in GFR less than 60 ml/min/1.73 sq. m, and also had a history of erosive and ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. There was also a significant Association of recurrent bleeding with the use of proton pump inhibitors. Subgroups of patients who switched from warfarin to taking direct oral anticoagulants after the first bleeding and subsequent recurrent bleeding did not differ in basic clinical characteristics from patients without bleeding after changing the anticoagulant. According to multiple regression analysis, NSAIDs showed a tendency to develop a relapse of B/C bleeding on the background of direct oral anticoagulants in patients who underwent GO on the background of warfarin therapy (b=0.4524,p=0.0530).
Conclusion.During the 20-year follow-up, the frequency of all major and clinically significant bleeding was 2.6/100 patients-years, the frequency of first bleeding was 5.86/100 patients-years, while the frequency of repeated hemorrhagic complications was 7.06/100 patients-years. Patients with a high thromboembolic risk should receive anticoagulants, provided that the modifiable risk factors for bleeding are carefully corrected.

Published: October 2020

The angle between theQRSandTvectors reflects the consistency or inconsistency of the processes of de- and repolarization of the ventricles of the heart and is considered one of the indicators of global electrical heterogeneity of myocardium. In recent years, the prognostic value of theQRS-Tangle has been demonstrated in relation to total and cardiovascular mortality, both in the population and in various groups of patients. The mechanisms of this phenomenon are not completely clear. The review analyses studies published over the past five years on the relationship between theQRS-Tangle and mortality, as well as coronary heart disease and heart failure. Possible mechanisms for increasing theQRS-Tangle are discussed. Data are given on the use of theQRS-Tangle in diagnostic and prognostic scales, including in combination with other indicators of global electrical heterogeneity of myocardium.

Malocclusion is defined as an irregularity of the teeth or an incorrect placement of the dental arches that is outside the ideal range. Besides this irregularity of the teeth or jaws, malocclusion may cause periodontal problems, disturbances of oral function such as mastication, swallowing, and speech, and psychosocial problems related to impaired dentofacial aesthetics. Hence this study was conducted to find the relationship between orthodontic malocclusion with periodontal status among the adult population visiting private dental college in Chennai. A retrospective study was conducted using case records of patients attending private dental college from July 2019- March 2020. A total of 932 case sheets of patients who had recorded for Russell’s periodontal index were retrieved and used for statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics, chi-square and Pearson’s correlation was used to analyze the data. Out of 932 participants class I malocclusion-96.24%, class 2 Div I - 1.82%, class division 2, class 2 subdivision, class 3 malocclusion, class 3 subdivision was 0.32%, 0.42%, 0.855 and 0.32% respectively.10.73% of the study population have terminal disease which is a surprising finding when compared with other studies. The results of the study were subjected to statistical analysis. Negligible negative correlation was found between malocclusion and periodontal status and were statistically insignificant. No statistically significant association was found between orthodontic malocclusion and periodontal status and a negligible negative correlation was obtained, which shows that there was no relationship between malocclusion and periodontal status in this study population.

The study was carried out in April 2015 at South Ari district, Senmamer kebele of South Omo Zone Southern Nation Nationality People Regional State to test and demonstrate the effects of integrating host resistance and fungicide application for management of potato late blight disease. In this experiment one relatively late blight resistance improved Irish potato variety (Belete) was collected from Holleta Seed producer Association and susceptible local control potato varieties were used. RCBD with four replications (farmers as replication) were used. A recommended rate of CurzateR R WP fungicide was applied while susceptible local variety developed the first blight symptom. GLM procedures were followed to analyze yield, disease incidence and severity. LSD (P<0.01) values were used to separate treatments mean. Total weight of tubers per plot (kg) was show significant difference (P<0.01) among treatments. The highest total weight of tubers per plot (kg) was given by treated belete (T1) (22.625) followed by untreated belete (T3), untreated local (T4) and treated local (T2) (18.525, 11.875and 10.125) respectively (Table 2).  Local potato variety also gave the highest unmarketable tubers weight per plot. The result indicated that there were a significant difference (P<0.01) and (P<0.05) among treatments on late blight incidence and severity respectively. Untreated local variety (T4) showed highest late blight incidence and severity as compare to treated belete variety (T1). The experiment result suggested that application CurzateR R WP fungicide twice on variety belete results in significant reduction on late blight progress, with a corresponding increased tubers yield.

Data analysis was in the form of many species of medicinal plants used by traditional healers, plant families, habitus and parts of plants used, methods of processing and use, location, and sources of medicinal plants taken. The results showed that in Kebong and Merpak villages, there were still four traditional healers practicing traditional medication and using 59 species of medicinal plants. There are 39 species of plants used by traditional healers and also used by the communities, while 20 species others only used by traditional healers. The highest use is found in the family of Poaceae (5 species), herb habitus (37%), processing method by boiling (30%), and administration method by drinking (29%), and paste (29%), the form of single-use and mixture is quite balanced (49 and 48%). The primary source of obtaining medicinal raw materials comes from the yard (57%), and plant sources come from wild growing (59%). The knowledge of medicinal plants possessed by traditional healers should be continued documented; thus, the diversity of medicinal plants can be preserved for the next generation.

Pediatric patients with malnutrition commonly have poor prognosis related to the inflammation and catabolism state. This study investigated the relationship between high C-Reactive Protein/Albumin ratio on admission with the risk of acute malnutrition during hospitalization in pediatric patients. A cohort study in patients aged 1 month to 18 years old who met the study criteria was done. On admission, the level of serum C-Reactive Protein and Albumin were measured and calculated the C-Reactive protein/Albumin ratio which was divided into the high and low ratio. Acute malnutrition was determined according to the weight-for-height or body mass index-for-age z-score less than 2 SD below the WHO Child Growth Standard median.  A total of 110 patients were analyzed, 50% male and the mean aged was 77.7 months. Patients with acute malnutrition on admission and discharge were 24.5% and 32.7%, respectively. Acute malnutrition on discharge in patients with high and low ratio were 51.6% and 25.3%, respectively (adjusted Relative Risk, 9.1; 95% CI: 1. 9 to 42.7; p = 0.005). High C-Reactive Protein/Albumin ratio on admission increased the risk of acute malnutrition during hospitalization in pediatric patients.

The multitude of concepts and methods of management and control related to the word “visual” in the area of production and quality management may cause difficulties with their perception, proper understanding and use of these terms by researchers from various backgrounds (not necessarily related to production) and countries, including Poland. In particular, the noticed inaccuracies in the use of terms with the word “visual” concern such terms as visual: management, control, inspection, and testing, where, for example, in the Polish language the first three different terms in English are named with the same phrase, which sometimes causes some confusion. The aim of the article was an attempt to distinguish, sometimes “troublesome” definitions, to indicate the area of their application, to define possible relations between them, which is a peculiar novelty. The article is an analysis of the literature related to these concepts, systematizes the types of visual concepts and methods in the area of production and quality. It defines in what context the indicated terms should be used by researchers and what is the relationship between them, and under what conditions they can be used separately or jointly. The article is an attempt to indicating and analysis of the interrelation between concepts in which the word “visual” appears concerning production practice. Concepts visual: management, control, inspection, and testing, as the author proves in the article, they should be translated into English with due diligence, due to the differences between them. It has been shown that there is a strong relationship between type definition pairs as visual management & visual control and visual inspection & visual testing, where it is not a mistake to use them interchangeably, and cases, where all these concepts can intertwine, are also given.

Experimentally investigate the intensity and specificity of the processing of different types of metal castings of the zipper in a tensile machine with complex spatial movement of the working capacity, to obtain the appropriate calculation dependencies to determine the processing time. An experimental study of the separation from the casters of three types of metal castings of the zipper (casting with two, with eight fixed details-cases and outflow with sixteen fixed details by clamps) in a tensile machine with a complex spatial movement of the working capacity by observing the change in the number of machined parts during the process. Further mathematical processing of the obtained results is carried out. The types of castings for which the maximum and minimum technological time are spent in the toughening machine with complex spatial movement of the working capacity are determined. It is established that for processing castings with fixed parts-locks it takes twice more technological time, which is spent to clean the separated parts from the remnants of the wrap and burrs. Compared with conventional rotating shredding machines, using machines with complex spatial movement of the working capacity, you can increase the productivity of this technological operation by almost ten times. The dependences between different types of metallic castings of the zipper and the intensity of separation of parts from them during processing in a caulking machine with a complex spatial movement of the working capacity with providing a waterfall mode of movement and 50% filling the capacity. Appropriate design dependencies were obtained to determine the processing time. Guidelines on the implementation of rational technological parameters in the processing of various types of metal castings of the zipper in a tensile machine with a complex spatial movement of the working capacity. These guidelines can be used at the design stage of technological processes and equipment in the relevant machine-building and light industry enterprises specializing in the manufacture of hardware.

To carry out modeling of moisture transfer processes in multilayer medical application materials for forecasting of targeted transport of drugs of a certain effective concentration into the lesion center, based on the geometric parameters of the wounds. Using digital image processing techniques in a computer environment have developed methods for designing three-dimensional fluid propagation effects in multilayer medical wound dressings. Modern wound dressings have been found to be multilayer multidimensional compositions with complex fluid kinetics. Additionally, the wounds on the human body itself have a complex space geometric shape. This requires taking into account the volumetric effects when analyzing and forecasting the processes of wetting and fluid flow in such systems. An algorithm for ordering the boundary of a wound by digital photography with the subsequent processing of a wound image in a computer environment is proposed. To evaluate the moisture transport properties for the controlled release of medicinal substances at the desired concentration in different layers of wound dressings, an experiment was made with wetting from two and three sources, followed by three-dimensional modeling. It has been experimentally found that the parameters of the layered distribution of liquid moisture in multilayer dressings vary significantly.. The results of the simulation are suitable for making prompt decisions about the type, the required geometric parameters of medical materials and wound dressings. The proposed method of establishing the real geometry of the wound, together with three-dimensional modeling, allows to predict the exact boundaries of the application of the drug, to calculate its required amount and time of movement to the wound. Using 3D computer graphics of discrete objects, methods have been developed to predict the conditions for the reliable functioning of multilayer dressings. Investigated processes of transport and distribution of liquid moisture can be used in the selection of components of the raw material composition, structure and number of layers of multilayer wound dressings, taking into account the real geometric profile of the wound.

Background. The base for a molecular analysis is DNA of high quality. For DNA isolation, different kits or classical methods are used. For mass analysis, isolation with kits is a very expensive process. So, the objective of our investigation was to find a cheap method for high-quality DNA isolation from leaves of various thyme cultivars.

Materials and methods. Leaves cut from thyme accessions (Thymus mastichina L. cv. ‘Svetliachok’, T. striatus Vahl. cv. ‘Jubileiniy’, T. vulgaris L. cv. ‘Fantasia’, and T. vulgaris cv. ‘Jalos’.) maintained ex situ in the collection of the Nikita Botanical Gardens were used as the material for the analysis. Light microscopy was used to study leaf anatomy and localize essential oil on leaf cross sections. Essential oil was extracted on Ginsberg devices, and phenolic content was measured with The Folin–Ciocâlteu reagent (FCR). Commercial kits (DiamondDNATM, PureLink® Plant Total DNA Purification Kit) and classical methods (CTAB, CTAB with 2% polyvinylpyrrolidone) were used for DNA isolation. DNA quality was evaluated spectrophotometrically, with electrophoresis (horizontal, automated system Agilent 4200 TapeStation) and PCR.

Results. The analysis showed that the leaf blade mesophyll of four thyme cultivars had inclusions with essential oil. The content of essential oil and phenolic compounds was measured biochemically. Since the plants were characterized by the presence of secondary metabolites, DNA was isolated by different methods. Spectrophotometry demonstrated that the classical CTAB method and CTAB with 2% PVP provided the best results. Using an automated electrophoresis system, the presence of high-molecularweight DNA (more than 52000 bp) in significant amounts was detected in the samples isolated with DiamondDNATM kit and CTAB + 2% PVP.

Conclusion. Among the tested kits and methods, CTAB + 2% PVP provided thyme DNA suitable for PCR and, presumably, for genome library preparation. The low cost of reagents for this technique makes it applicable for future mass analysis of plant material.
