Published: August 2017

Актуальність. Системний червоний вовчак (СЧВ) в основі патогенезу має генералізоване автоімунне запалення, що призводить до розвитку широкого спектра імунозапальних органних порушень. Серед них на особливу увагу заслуговує печінка, оскільки її функціональний стан може відбивати не тільки тяжкість патологічного процесу, а й відповідь на агресивне лікування. Мета роботи полягала в дослідженні біохімічних маркерів функціонального стану печінки у дітей із початковими стадіями СЧВ. Матеріали та методи. Вивчено особливості ліпідного, вуглеводного спектра крові, показники пігментного обміну, маркерів цитолізу, холестазу, фіброзу та білковосинтетичної функції печінки дітей і підлітків, хворих на СЧВ. Обстежено 26 хворих віком від 7 до 18 років. Сформовано дві групи: 10 пацієнтів (38,4 %) із терміном перебігу хвороби 1–3 роки та 16 (61,5 %) — з її тривалістю понад 3 роки. Результати. Середні показники ліпідного спектра крові хворих не перевищували референтних значень і не мали статистичних відмінностей серед пацієнтів виділених груп. Рівні загального холестерину (ХС) та тригліцеридів в обох групах пацієнтів значно перевищували контрольні значення (р < 0,05). Показники ХС ліпопротеїдів низької щільності зростали вже на ранніх стадіях хвороби (р < 0,05) і досягали максимальних значень в осіб із перебігом СЧВ понад 3 роки (р < 0,05). Концентрація ХС ліпопротеїдів високої щільності пацієнтів другої групи дещо зменшувалась (р < 0,1). Відбувалось підвищення середніх показників коефіцієнта атерогенності в 1,7 раза серед пацієнтів першої групи (р < 0,05) та в 2,25 раза — в осіб другої групи (р < 0,05). Дослідження інших ланок метаболізму показали, що середні значення глікемії та імунореактивного інсуліну (ІРІ) натще відповідали фізіологічній нормі. Однак у половини пацієнтів із СЧВ мала місце гіперінсулінемія (підвищення рівня ІРІ понад 25 мкМО/мл). Встановлено тенденцію до порушення пігментного обміну. Середні показники загального білірубіну збільшувались при збільшенні тривалості хвороби (р < 0,05) та залежно від активності захворювання (r = 0,632; р < 0,05). Із тривалістю СЧВ понад 3 роки суттєво зменшувалась концентрація гаптоглобіну (1,1 ± 0,1 г/л проти 1,6 ± 0,2 г/л; р < 0,05) та визначались високі концентрації аспартатамінотрансферази (у 12,5 % обстежених). Встановлено зростання показників фіброзоутворення (р < 0,05). Висновки. У дітей, хворих на СЧВ, вже на ранніх етапах відбуваються суттєві зміни у функціональному стані печінки. Встановлено наявність дисліпідемії атерогенної спрямованості, яка поглиблювалась при зростанні тривалості й активності хвороби, порушення вуглеводного обміну у вигляді гіперінсулінемії у 50,0 % обстежених, зниження концентрації гаптоглобіну, а також асоціація показників фіброзу печінки АСТ/PYP та АЛТ/РYР з тривалістю та активністю захворювання.

В огляді сучасної літератури подані дані щодо впливу гіперплазії аденоїдів та аденотомії на імунітет і стан здоров’я дітей. Показано, що наявність у дитини гіперплазії аденоїдів створює умови для більш частої захворюваності на респіраторну патологію з тяжким перебігом за рахунок тривалої колонізації патогенними та умовно-патогенними мікроорганізмами на тлі морфофункціональної перебудови структур мукозального імунітету з його транзиторною недостатністю. Аденотомія справляє позитивний ефект лише як засіб усунення механічних перешкод носовому диханню, не впливаючи на інші компоненти патологічного процесу в носоглотці дітей із гіперплазією аденоїдів.

The Inﬂuence of Politicians on Television Content in Post-Authoritarian Indonesia
Authors: Morissan Morissan
Published: August 2017

The downfall of the last authoritarian ruler in May 1998 marked the beginning of the transition to democracy in Indonesia. Before 1998, the autocratic government ﬁrmly monitored media content for decades. With the current broadcast liberalization, Indonesian televisions can produce almost any kind of program contents. However, a question arises, who actually controls television content in the era of liberalization? How do political and economic factors inﬂuence television workers in shaping content? This empirical research intends to focus on the inﬂuence politicians have on television program content in four elections in post-authoritarian Indonesia. The research question is: how do politicians inﬂuence television workers in shaping their content? The question needs a qualitative descriptive answer from various sources, including interviews with around 100 television workers in the 10 largest TV stations, participant observations, documents, television reports, and other data sources. Research ﬁndings reveal that the relationship between politicians and television intensiﬁed ahead and during political campaigns. Most television stations had conducted a relatively fair and nonpartisan coverage of the 2004 and 2009 election, but unfair and partisan in the 1999 and 2014 elections.
Potential Conﬂict Among ASEAN Member States in The Implementation of The ASEAN Economic Community
Authors: Pramono Sugiarto , Hartati Anna Yulia , Purwanto Adi Joko
Published: August 2017

The ﬁndings in this article defy the common assumption that the free market, including the formation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in Southeast Asia, is correlated with the creation of a spillover and complex interdependency, reducing conﬂicts between countries in the region. This ﬁnding could well contribute as a theory in the academic sphere and as policies in the practical world. The author uses a theoretical framework of structural realism to explain the potential conﬂict between countries of the Southeast Asian region. There are four potential conﬂict situations among countries in the implementation of AEC: ﬁrstly, the structure of economic disparity. This situation would construct an identity of in-group – out-group or “us” versus “them” in the context of who gains and loses in the AEC. Secondly, similarity of natural resources. This fact led the Southeast Asian countries to compete and create standardization wherein each party is in hostile competition to claim valid ﬁndings and arguments associated with eﬀorts to reduce or stop the ﬂow of imports into their respective countries. Thirdly, competition among businesses, in which AEC constructed free market could potentially provoke the emergence of regional trading cartel. Fourthly, the structure of military power. Historical records show that any economic growth occurring in a country will be accompanied by the growth of its military budget.

Published: August 2017

Bottleneck is possible to occur in a system like hospital, especially in admission and discharge of inpatient processes. It can have impact on increasing waiting time and delayed time. Some alternatives were proposed to reduce them, i.e. shift scheduling and human resource allocation. This research modelled real system accompanied by two scenarios: the first scenario was conducted by balancing human resource utility without altering number of employees, whereas the second scenario considered possibility of changing number of employees. The results showed that both scenarios produced reduction of waiting time and delayed time. The first scenario is more feasible compared to the second as no hiring or firing employees occurred, resulting in waiting time reduction of 110.6 minutes (15%) and decrease in delayed time by 184 minutes (15.9%). The reduction of waiting time and delayed time is higher in scenario 2, which are 423.6 minutes (57%) and 281 minutes (24%), respectively. However, there must be 4 additional employees hired in pharmacy applied in scenario 2.

Published: August 2017

Hospital as a health institution must be able to give good services for its stakeholders, especially patients. However, patients often have to wait for quite a long time in queues before service. A study case in an internal medicine polyclinic in a large scale hospital in Yogyakartashowed that for around 60 patients in a day, they have to stay in queues for more than one hour averagely. This observation occurred when appointment scheduling was used, i.e. patient must make an appointment for the service time. This research evaluated some scenarios that can reduce the waiting time in this system. Results showed that patient’s arrival was recommended to be schedulled every 15 minutes with adjustment on the number of operating server. This recommendation can reduce patient’s waiting time by 28-50% by taking into account the presence of the late doctors.

Uneven capacity utilization seems to be a constant problem in Yogyakarta waste management system. The problem is worsen by lack of a decision tool to evaluate the system and formulate appropriate strategy.This present study therefore aims atevaluatingthe performance of existing waste management systemandoptimizingmunicipal waste collection points. A mathematical model of MixedIntegerLinearProgramming was developed and implemented inLingo 9. Findings show that the current waste management system is associated to daily total cost of about IDR 10 million and capacity utilization of 88%. Scenarios are developed to examine the optimized system. Findings suggest that current municipal waste can be handled with 35 collection points involving 15 depots and 20 containers. The optimized system is corresponding to IDR 6.3 millionand the capacity utilization of 99%, which makes a reduced cost of 37% and an increasedcapacity utilization of 13% in comparison to the performance of the existing system. Based on sensitivity analysis,volume of municipal waste appears to be influential factor toward the total cost and network structure. Limitation of the model is also discussed.

Published: August 2017

A series of Cu-X/?-Al2O3 (X = Fe, Co, Ni) catalysts were synthesized by a rapid intermittent microwave irradiation method for hydrogen generation from dimethyl ether steam reforming. Different parameters, such as the promoters of X (X = Fe, Co, Ni), microwave irradiation procedure and the ratio of metal to ?-Al2O3, were investigated. The results show that 2Cu-Fe/72?-Al2O3 has the best performance, for which the agglomeration is prevented, CuO is well dispersed and the catalytic activity is improved. Promoter iron oxide in 2Cu-Fe/9?-Al2O3 facilitates the watergas shift reaction, which lead to an increase in the conversion of CO to CO2 and hydrogen yield. Particularly, the 2Cu-Fe/72?-Al2O3 catalyst, with the best molar ratio of metal to ?-Al2O3, shows a dimethyl ether conversion of >99% and a hydrogen yield of >98% and produces the lowest CO content of 1.4%, indicating that the synergism between dimethyl ether hydrolysis and methanol reforming requires an appropriate balance between the metallic Cu-Fe and the acid ?-Al2O3. The intermittent microwave irradiation technique provides a simple but effective method of the Cu-Fe/?-Al2O3 synthesis with a good catalyst performance for the dimethyl ether steam reforming.

Brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) and seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) membranes were used in a two-stage reverse osmosis (RO) unit to recover, pre-purify, and pre-concentrate lactic acid. Calcium lactate, sodium lactate, and ammonium lactate were used as model feed solutions. The operating pressure showed a pronounced effect on lactate passage through the first BWRO unit, and the Donnan exclusion effect and hydrogen bonding were responsible for cation rejection. Calcium ions were rejected at the BWRO unit because of low diffusion rate and charge interaction at the surface. However, monovalent ions formed hydrogen bonds with the carbonyl group of the membrane that allowed passage across the membrane. The second SWRO unit was for pre-concentrating lactic acid. A high lactate purity of 99.2% with a total recovery of 50.5% was acquired from calcium lactate feed solution. Lower purity with higher lactate recovery was obtained when the feed solution was sodium lactate and ammonium lactate. When the actual fermentation broth was used in the two-stage RO unit, a slightly lower recovery and purity of lactic acid were obtained. It was claimed that the total ions present in the fermentation broth were responsible for the low efficiency of the two-stage RO unit.
Downregulation of Insulin Sensitivity After Oral Glucose Administration: Evidence for the Anti-Incretin Effect
Authors: Salinari Serenella , Mingrone Geltrude , Bertuzzi Alessandro , Previti Elena , Capristo Esmeralda , Rubino Francesco
Published: August 2017

Intestinal nutrients stimulate insulin secretion more potently than intravenous (IV) glucose administration under similar plasma glucose levels (incretin effect). According to the anti-incretin theory, intestinal nutrients should also cause a reduction of insulin sensitivity and/or secretion (anti-incretin effect) to defend against hyperinsulinemia-hypoglycemia. An exaggerated anti-incretin effect could contribute to insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes, whereas reduction of anti-incretin signals might explain diabetes improvement after bariatric surgery. In this study, we tested some of the predictions made by the anti-incretin theory. Eight healthy volunteers and eight severely obese subjects with insulin resistance were studied. Insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, Ra, and disposition index were measured after oral glucose tolerance test and isoglycemic IV glucose injection (IGIV). Obese subjects were studied before and after intestinal bypass surgery (biliopancreatic diversion [BPD]). The d-xylose test and lactulose-to-rhamnose ratio were used to test for possible malabsorption of glucose after surgery. Monte Carlo mathematical simulations were used to test whether insulin secretion induced by oral glucose could cause hypoglycemia when coupled with the levels of insulin sensitivity measured during IGIV. Despite isoglycemic conditions, insulin sensitivity was lower during oral than during IV glucose administration. This difference was amplified in obese subjects and reduced to normal after BPD. No evidence of glucose malabsorption was found. Mathematical simulations showed that hypoglycemia would occur if insulin sensitivity were not reduced by oral glucose stimulation. This study demonstrates an anti-incretin effect of intestinal glucose stimulation, which downregulates insulin sensitivity. The findings support a new model for how foodborne factors can induce insulin-resistance and provide a possible explanation for the improvement of insulin resistance/diabetes after gastrointestinal bypass surgery.
Pemanfaatan Data Iklim untuk Evaluasi Kekeringan dengan Menggunakan Indeks Palmer
Authors: Sudibyakto S
Published: August 2017

Tujuan penelitian ini ialah mengevaluasi tingkat kekeringan di daerah Kedu Selatan, Jawa Tengah dengan menggunakan Indeks Palmer, dengan harapan agar dapat diperoleh gambaran hubungan antara curah hujan dan indeks kekeringan. Data yang digunakan adalah curah hujan dan suhu udara rataan bulanan selama 5 tahun (antara 1972 dan 1976) dan air tanah yang tersedia pada kedua lapisan tanah atas. Data hujan diambil dari 69 stasiun penakar hujan biasa. Data klimatologi diperoleh dari stasiun Sempor dan basil akhir berupa Peta Indeks kekeringan. Hasil perhitungan indeks kekeringan atas data hujan di suatu lokasi menimbulkan indeks yang terlalu basah atau terlalu kering dari keadaan normalnya untuk di suatu tempat. Hubungan dua deret waktu antara hujan dan indeks kekeringan menunjukkan bahwa daerah yang berhutan dengan kondisi tanahnya berupa tanah liat, timbulnya kekeringan mengalami kemunduran setelah beberapa bulan tidak terjadi hujan. Sebagian besar-koefisien korelasi (r) menunjukkan nilai yang lebih besar daripada koefisien korelasi-lag (rL), kecuali di daerah yang mempunyai kawasan hutan cukup luas. Kelayakan Peta Indeks kekeringan dapat dikaitkan dengan penuruan produksi pertanian (padi ladang) dan peristiwa banjir yang pernah terjadi di daerah penelitian.

Published: August 2017

The smart grid, as a communication network, allows numerous connected devices such as sensors, relays and actuators to interact and cooperate with each other. An Internet-based solution for electricity that provides bidirectional flow of information and power is internet of energy (IoE) which is an extension of smart grid concept. A large number of connected devices and the huge amount of data generated by IoE and issues related to data transmission, process and storage, force IoE to be integrated by cloud computing. Furthermore, in order to enhance the performance and reduce the volume of transmitted data and process information in an acceptable time, fog computing is suggested as a layer between IoE layer and cloud layer. This layer is used as a local processing level that leads to reduction in data transmissions to the cloud. So, it can save energy consumption used by IoE devices to transmit data into cloud because of a long range, low power, wide area and low bit rate wireless telecommunication system which is called LoRaWAN. All devices in fog domain are connected by long range wide area network (LoRa) into a smart gateway.  The gateway which bridges fog domain and cloud, is introduced for scheduling devices/appliances by creating a priority queue which can perform demand side management dynamically. The queue is affected by not only the consumer importance but also the consumer policies and the status of energy resources.

A Comparative Study Between the Climate Response Strategies and Thermal Comfort of a Traditional and Contemporary Houses in KRG: Erbil
Authors: Morad Diler Haji , Ismail Serbest Khalil
Published: August 2017

The hot and dry climate conditions in Erbil city has a main effect on the energy consumption and thermal performance of the house. In the last decade, residential sector in Kurdistan region government has consumed about 50% of total energy consumption. The contemporary dwelling did not consider climate consideration therefore; there was difficulty in achieving or obtaining thermal comfort conditions, without using electrical or mechanical devices like air- conditioning. In contrast, traditional houses carefully and effectively designed with climate conditions. In the present study, in order to determine suitable architectural strategy that may be benefit in future housing designs, the climate response strategies and thermal comfort examined in both traditional and contemporary houses in Erbil city and evaluated in terms of building form, orientation, occupancy migration, plan arrangement, window, ventilation, shading, Vegetation, water bodies building materials and Urban Fabric. At the end of this study, a simplified evaluation and comparison between contemporary and traditional house are given.
The plastic waste problem- a pledge for volunteer activities
Authors: Kolstee Yolande G.
Published: August 2017

In this explorative study, an overview of up to date data on plastic waste is given. Different methods of handling the plastic waste problem are described. The focus lies on volunteering.In order to get a picture of the plastic waste problem, a non-exhaustive overview is given of recent scientific and policy reports in paragraph 2. In paragraph 3 the guidelines of the UNEP and ISWA report on Global Waste Management is described. Other sources emphasize the importance of additional measurements. Those are e.g. self-organising volunteer activities in (higher-) education and volunteer cleaning up activities, respectively described in paragraph 4 and 5. In a small sample investigation to the motives for taken part in cleaning-up activities, undertaken in the Netherlands, Europe, two hypotheses were tested ‘cleaning-up is a token activity’ and ‘taking part in cleaning-up activities promotes environmental-friendly behaviour’.In paragraph 6 the method of the inquiry is described and in paragraph 7 we see from there some evidence for an expanding involvement with pro-environmental behaviour as a result from beach cleaning-up activities. In paragraph 8 we conclude that the need for involvement with the plastic waste problem of all and on all levels, is necessary. The contribution of volunteer activities like self-organizing groups in Universities or cleaning-up projects, seems to be an important factor in behavioural change to tackle the problem of plastic waste.

GUACHES VS. CACHACOS: LA SOCIABILIDAD DEMOCRÁTICA EN BOGOTÁ 1845-1876
Authors: Rueda Enciso José Eduardo
Published: August 2017

El articulo ofrece una revisión histórica, de fuentes primarias y secundarias, sobre la Sociedad Democrática de Artesanos de Bogotá y la sociabilidad, moderna y promovida por el liberalismo, que esta generó durante treinta años del siglo XIX, enfatizando en el carácter popular, como en las distintas reacciones, del conservatismo, la Iglesia, y las élites liberales, para contrarrestar su influencia, lo que se evidenció en unos iniciales intentos, hacia 1838-1839; en una etapa de expansión y efectiva determinación, política, social, y cultural, aunque con divisiones, entre 1845-1854; una diversificación de la sociabilidad democrática, entre 1855 a 1876, sin tanto protagonismo político, con carácter ora secreto, ora abierto, a veces notoriamente político, otras con intereses específicos y definidos. La pregunta central gira en torno a ¿sí la Sociedad Democrática de Artesanos logró promover una sociabilidad moderna dentro de los sectores populares de Bogotá? La respuesta es positiva, y se basa en la documentación y en la literatura escrita sobre el tema.

O uso de leite na alimentação de bezerras representa o maior custo na fase de cria. Com o objetivo de avaliar a viabilidade técnica da utilização de diferentes quantidades de dieta líquida na alimentação de bezerros da Raça Holandês, utilizou-se 160 ou 240 litros de dieta líquida, durante um período de 53 dias (do quarto ao 56o dia de vida) de aleitamento com diferentes níveis de inclusão de soro de leite em substituição ao leite integral (0, 10 e 20%), em esquema fatorial 2x3 (160 ou 240 litros de dieta líquida e 0, 10 ou 20% de inclusão de soro do leite), conduzido no Laboratório de Bovinocultura Leiteira da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Os animais foram distribuídos inteiramente ao acaso em seis tratamentos, com quatro repetições por tratamento. Foram avaliados o consumo de matéria seca do concentrado (CMSC), da matéria seca total (CMST), ganho médio diário (GMD), conversão alimentar (CA), peso vivo final (PVF) e o comportamento dos animais. Para os níveis de soro do leite, ocorreu uma resposta quadrática (p<0,05) para o CMSC, CMST, GMD e CA. Os bezerros que receberam 160 litros de leite apresentaram maior (p<0,05) CMSC, porém pior CA. O CMST, o GMD e o PVF foram superiores (p<0,05) para os bezerros que consumiram 240 litros de leite durante o período experimental, com melhor CA para esse grupo de animais. Na análise do comportamento não foi determinada diferença significativa para os parâmetros avaliados (p>0,05).
