Authors: Côté Nadège , Philibert Emy , Paré Mathilde , Goupil Rémi , Fortier Catherine , Schultz Martin G. , Sharman James E. , Agharazii Mohsen
Published: December 2020

Purpose/Background/Objective

According to reservoir-wave approach (RWA) arterial pressure is the sum of a reservoir pressure (RP) accounting for dynamic storage and release of blood from arteries, and an excess pressure (XSP) analogous to flow. RP is the minimal left ventricular work required to generate aortic flow, while XSP corresponds to surplus cardiac workload. We have previously shown that kidney transplantation (KTx) improves aortic stiffness [1], however, by adding renal vessels to existing vascular network, KTx may increase cardiac output. Thus, we aimed to examine whether XSP increases after KTx.

Methods

Before and 3 months after KTx, carotid pressure waves were recorded using arterial tonometry, calibrated using brachial diastolic and mean blood pressure. Using pressure only approach, reservoir-wave analysis was used to derive RP, XSP and their integrals (RPI, XSPI). RWA parameters were compared with Wilcoxon non-parametric test using SPSS 26.0.

Results

75 patients (69% male, mean age 51 ± 13 years) were assessed. Three months after KTx, both carotid RP (121.2 ± 20.7 vs 103.5 ± 15.7, p < 0.001) and RPI (11192.52 ± 2763.11 vs 9531 ± 1978, p < 0.001) decreased significantly, but carotid XSP and XSPI remained unchanged. Carotid systolic (131.0 ± 23.2 vs 114.1 ± 15.5, p < 0.001) and diastolic (83.4 ± 11.9 vs 72.8 ± 9.93, p < 0.001) blood pressures were also reduced.

Conclusion

KTx decreased reservoir pressure, suggesting a decrease in minimal cardiac workload. However, we did not see an increase in excess pressure or its integral, suggesting that addition of a donor renal artery does not significantly alter cardiac outflow and excess workload 3 months after KTx.
P.62 Assessment of Isoflavone and Ethanolic Extract of Inonotus Obliquus on Experimentally Induced Diabetes
Authors: Duru Kingsley , Hildreth Cara , Avolio Alberto P. , Phillips Jacqueline K. , Butlin Mark
Published: December 2020

Purpose

Studies support beneficial effects of isoflavones, but antidiabetic effects of these agents remains unconfirmed [1,2]. This pilot study investigates isoflavones and Inonotus obliquus (chaga) extract effects on diabetes.

Methods

Diabetes was induced (streptozotocin 65 mg/kg, nicotinamide 110 mg/kg) in 9 male Wistar rats (12 weeks old). 9 additional rats were healthy controls. After 4 weeks animals were treated for 4 weeks with vehicle, isoflavone (200 mg/kg/day), or Inonotus obliquus (100 mg/kg/day). Blood pressure and metabolic caging were measured weekly. Glucose tolerance, renal function (serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level, creatinine clearance rate) and heart, kidney and body weight were assessed at the end-point.

Results

The diabetes group had 1 death (ketoacidosis). Untreated diabetic rats showed glucose intolerance (area under curve (AUC) = 64.87 ± 9.71 min × mmol/L), ameliorated with isoflavone (AUC = 14.78 ± 1.1 min × mmol/L, p < 0.001) and chaga extract (AUC = 30.4 ± 13.5 min × mmol/L, p < 0.001). Body weight was lower but not significantly different in untreated (491.3 ± 35.3 g) versus isoflavone (521.0 ± 7.0 g, p > 0.05) and chaga treatment (552.0 ± 91.9 g, p > 0.05). Kidney mass index was higher in untreated diabetic rats (0.51 ± 0.06) compared to isoflavone (0.36 ± 0.02, p < 0.05) but not significantly different in chaga (0.39 ± 0.06, p > 0.05) treatment. Food and water intake and 24 hr urine output was not significantly different. No difference in serum creatinine, BUN, or creatinine clearance rate were found.

Conclusions

Initial results indicate renal benefits of isoflavone and chaga extract in an animal model of diabetes but without other cardiovascular impact. The study was underpowered to detect all differences and further work, including translating results to humans, is required.

Published: December 2020

Background and Aims

Active vitamin D [1,25(OH)2D3] deficiency is a potential modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular (CVD) and renal disease in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and stage 3/4 chronic kidney disease (CKD). Exact mechanisms are unclear. Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of CVD. Tere is limited data on the effect of active vitamin D treatment on arterial haemodynamics in this patient population.

Materials and Methods

We performed a 48 week duration single centre randomised double blind placebo controlled trial on the impact of calcitriol 0.25 mcg od in patients with T2DM and stage 3 CKD. Primary endpoint was change in Ao-PWV (index of arterial stiffness) measured by applanation tonometry (Sphygmocor system). Secondary endpoints included albuminuria (albumin excretion rate-AER) and changes in other indices of central haemodynamics.

Results

127 (male 70%) patients were randomised to calcitriol (n = 64) or placebo (n = 63). Baseline, mean ± SD, values were: age 64.2 ± 7.7, eGFR 43.2 ± 20.2 ml/min, SBP 146.2 ± 19.9 mmHg, Ao-PWV 11.6 ± 3.3 m/s, and AER median (IQR) 50.51 (11.5 to 188.6) mcg/min. There was no significant mean (95% CI) change in Ao-PWV as compared to placebo of 0.05 m/s (−0.68 to 0.78) vs 0.23 m/s (−0.46 to 0.93) with a between treatment mean (95% CI) difference for Ao-PWV of 0.19 (−0.81 to 1.19) m/s (p = 0.71). No significant effect of calcitriol treatment observed on augmentation index or albuminuria.

Conclusion

In T2DM patients with stage 3 CKD, 48 week treatment with calcitriol as compared to placebo does not improve Ao-PWV, albuminuria or other indices of central haemodynamics.
P.65 Increased Biomarkers of Endothelial Dysfunction and Thrombotic Microenvironment in Patients with Autoimmune Rheumatic Disorders Free from Cardiovascular Comorbidities
Authors: Gavriilaki Eleni , Anyfanti Panagiota , Douma Stella , Gkaliagkousi Eugenia
Published: December 2020

Purpose/Background/Objectives

Cardiovascular risk is increased in patients with autoimmune rheumatic disorders [1]. Endothelial and platelet MVs (EMVs, PMVs) are small vesicles (0.1–1 μm) released from plasma membrane and represent novel markers of endothelial dysfunction and thrombosis. Their levels increase substantially in patients with cardiovascular diseases [2,3]. We tested whether EMVs and PMVs are increased in patients with autoimmune rheumatic disorders in the absence of cardiovascular comorbidities.

Methods

Consecutive patients with rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus were studied, provided they were free from cardiovascular comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, history of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events). We additionally used (a) a control group consisting of healthy volunteers and (b) a reference group including patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). MVs were measured by a standardized flow cytometry protocol [2,3].

Results

We studied 74 participants: 17 patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases; 34 healthy volunteers, and 23 stable CAD patients. Patients with rheumatic diseases presented increased levels of both EMVs (283.3 ± 195.0/μL vs 168.5 ± 54.8/μL, p = 0.029) and PMVs (374.0 ± 275.3/μL vs 225.7 ± 101.1/μL, p = 0.046) compared to controls. In addition, they presented similar levels of EMVs compared to CAD patients (283.3 ± 195.0/μL vs 297.0 ± 211.8/μL, p = 0.846), whereas PMVs were substantially elevated in the latter (374.0 ± 275.3/μL vs 1034.8 ± 374.0/μL, p = 0.029).

Conclusions

Endothelial dysfunction and thrombotic predisposition, shown by increased levels of EMVs and PMVs, respectively, may be evidenced in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases, even in the absence of cardiovascular comorbidities and before the establishment of clinically evident cardiovascular complications. In these patients, levels of EMVs appear to be comparable with those of stable CAD patients.

Published: December 2020

Topic prominence is regarded as a recent indicator that reveals the present momentum of a certain topic by considering the citations, views, and CiteScore thresholds. Topic prominence has been examined in prior research within different contexts, however, there is no known study exploring this trend within tourism and hospitality literature. Therefore, this study aims to analyse and map the topic prominence of Tourism, Leisure and Hospitality Management (TLHM) research by focusing on Switzerland as a case study. The collected data included 337 articles published in 46 journals indexed in Scopus under the subject category of TLHM. The findings concluded that topic prominence is an important indicator for measuring scientific research productivity, including peer-reviewed articles. More particularly, it is revealed that the investigation of topic prominence provides an overall clearer picture of Swiss TLHM research. This study contributes to tourism studies by discussing the usage of the topic prominence metric for tourism and hospitality publications. It also presents practical implications for tourism research managers and researchers by providing solid insights into funded research, scholars’ and institutions’ performance, and momentum of topics associated with the Swiss TLHM articles.

Authors: Premovic Milena , Djordjevic Aleksandar , Minic Dusko , Kolarevic Milan , Tomovic Milica
Published: December 2020

In this study, the microstructure, hardness, and electrical properties of selected ternary Bi-Ge-In alloys were investigated. Isothermal sections of the Bi-Ge-In system at 25, 200, and 300 ° C were extrapolated using optimized thermodynamic parameters from the literature. The used experimental techniques include optical microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersion spectrometry (EDS), Brinell hardness, and electrical conductivity measurements. The results of EDS phase composition analysis were compared with the calculated isothermal sections and a good overall agreement was reached. The results of the XRD were also in line with the predicted phase balance. By using ANOVA analysis and experimental results of Brinell hardness and electrical conductivity, a mathematical model was suggested for the calculation of these properties along with all composition ranges. The appropriated mathematical model was subsequently used for the prediction of hardness and electrical conductivity throughout the whole composition range.

Published: December 2020

Surface modifications of metallic biomaterials can in great merit, improve the properties of the hard-tissue implants and in that way contribute to the success of the surgical implantation process. Coating deposition stands out as one of the many surface-modifying techniques that can be used to improve implant surface properties and, in turn, induce successful osseointegration. Deposition of the TiO2 layer on the surface of the metallic implants has a great potential to enhance not only their osseointegration ability but also their biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. In the present study, the possibility of successful deposition of the TiO2 layer on the surface of commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti), as the most commonly used metallic implant material, by spraying the colloidal nanoparticles aqueous solution in the electric discharge plasma at atmospheric pressure was investigated. To characterize the colloidal TiO2 nanoparticle solution, used for the coating deposition process, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was utilized, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical profilometry were used to investigate the deposited surface layer morphology and quality. Estimation of the deposited film quality and texture was used to confirm that the arc plasma deposition technique can be successfully used as an advanced and easy-to-apply method for coating the metallic implant material surface with the bioactive TiO2 layer which favors the osseointegration process through the improvement of the implant surface properties. The TiO2 coating was successfully deposited using the arc plasma deposition technique and covered the entire surface of the CP-Ti substrate without any signs of coating cracking or detachment.

Abstract

The Honorary Council for General Election Organizers  (DKPP) is an element in the general election execution together with the General Election Commission (KPU) and the General Election Supervision Body (Bawaslu). The main function of the DKPP is to enforce the ethical code for the general election organizers. A dignified general election and election of district heads starts from the general election organizers who are supposed to uphold the general election ethics, although that does not constitute a single factor, in a sense that a dignified general election should be the responsibility of all elements of general election that include the organizers, the pair candidates, political parties, success team, civil servants, national and districts governments, as well as other stakeholders. The problem is that the DKPP’s authority  is limited to the execution of the general election and does not cover the whole system of the carrying out of the general election and therefore it is difficult to realize a dignified election of district heads, despite the fact that a dignified election will bring about dignified leaders. As a democratic country, Indonesia is supposed to consider not only ethical code for the general election organizers but also ethical code for the whole implementation of the general election.

Published: December 2020

According to some specialists, Antarctic tourism is one of the best-managed tourism sectors in the world. It has dynamically developed in recent decades. Starting the second half of the eighties of the twentieth century, tourist figures in Antarctica grew exponentially from several hundred to 74 thousand annually. The seasonal and spatial restrictions mark its specific nature. The author believes in the need for comprehensive control of tourist activity and behaviour on the continent. The International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IATTO) promotes safe and environmentally responsible voyages to Antarctica. Education is vital during these visits, providing an opportunity to become acquainted with this exceptional continent and its merit for world science. Tourists, representing over 100 nationalities, become the ambassadors of Antarctica on returning home. Study results indicate that immoderate development of Antarctic tourism may generate threats and the introduction of related restrictions.

The aim of this project was to analyze the meaning of the creative economy in the Minangkabau community in the tourist destination area of West Sumatra. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. This research was from the province of West Sumatra. Data collection by observation, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and in-depth interviews. The results showed that the creative economy had created economic added value, increased tourism, and strengthened local culture. Economic actors' actions in tourist destination areas prioritize rational economic actions and do not consider economic motives. The creative economy is not influenced by local habits or culture in taking action so that economic actors prioritize earning profits. The meaning of the Minangkabau community's creative economy in the tourist destination area is action prioritizing profit, action-oriented towards prospects, the action being accessible to all levels, action prioritizing opportunities, and actions have attractiveness and habits. It is shown that these creative economic actions tend to ignore the socio-cultural elements of local products. Cultural values drive the development of the creative industry in West Sumatra. The attractiveness and habits of local tourists and tourists from mancanagara (foreign tourists) become capital and action in the creative economy.

Archaeological sites are currently considered as one of the most important tourism industry drivers, becoming an autonomous economy. Among the most outstanding archaeological sites in Algeria is the fort of Bani Hammad. This site is the first archaeological site classified by UNESCO in 1980, located in central Algeria in M'sila province. Given its importance, we conducted a scientific study to highlight its beautiful archaeological tourism components and national and international tourist attractions. Then, we revealed the tourism challenges and the physical and moral deterioration affecting this site. Also, we propose a preservation plan to promote this site’s touristic assets, enabling its transformation into a tourist destination competing with other archaeological sites in Algeria and the Maghreb; through a sustainable development plan of archaeological tourism, while preserving its historical identity and role. To this aim, we used a descriptive and quantitative analytical approach, starting with a theoretical and analytical analysis of various studies, plans, and documents related to this archaeological site's components. Then, we analyzed the geographical and statistical data of the tourist traffic over five years using the SPSS statistical program. Finally, we presented the results, developed a rehabilitation plan for the site, and suggested an essential set of recommendations.

In 2017-2018, the Indonesian Ombudsman Representative Office in East Java experienced an increase in maladministration reports. This case caused many complaints from the public regarding the slow progress of population administration and led to internal and external conflicts of employees. This study aims to describe the function and role of the Indonesian Ombudsman Representative of East Java, the report completion process, and the strategy to overcome maladministration reports. This study employs a qualitative case study approach and is supported by the analysis using Atlas.ti software. Data collection is conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings reveal the role and function of the Indonesian Ombudsman Representative in East Java in terms of their effort to eradicate maladministration. Conflict management using progressive and participative methods (PROPARTIVE) is carried out for the completion of maladministration reports. PROPARTIVE methods explore the objectives of the reporter as a family to be open and mediate all parties to find solutions. The obstacles experienced by the Ombudsman in eradicating maladministration are the limited number of employees, the disobedience of the compliance with competencies, and the uncooperative reports between the reporter and the reported parties. Meanwhile, the supporting factors are the strategic location of the Indonesian Ombudsman Representative Office in East Java, the cooperation between employees and institutions, and the support of the Ombudsman website to facilitate the management of reports

For students whose first language is not a native English speaker, at first glance they will interpret the words "translation" and "interpretation" with the same meaning. Both are indeed similar and both function to transfer one language to another. This study aims to identify the frequency of occurrence of the words "translation" and "interpretation" in several situations in different speech contexts. The method used in this study is the corpus method, to see a large set of authentic data which provides clearer information about the frequency of occurrence of the words "translation" and "interpretation" in several actual contexts of different speech acts. The data collection procedure on the corpus and its analysis uses the facilities provided by the corpus page, namely "chart". The results show that the comparison of the frequency of occurrence of the words "translation" and "interpretation" in the context of different speech shows a significant difference, the word interpretation has a higher occurrence rate of 4282 times than translation, which appeared 1405 times.   The meaning of this finding is that the word interpretation is more widely used in the context of formal academic sentences because interpretation does not only have a meaning for itself but can also function as a continuation of meaning from the translation.

Starting from the problem that the oral tradition that develops in society is starting to lose its existence. Currently the role of oral tradition has begun to be replaced by the existence of social media that has mushroomed in the community. The question is how the oral tradition is able to provide social and cultural values ​​among the community, especially the Becirongengor Village community. The qualitative descriptive method is the chosen research method. The results found that there are still oral traditions that develop in the community, namely (1) the history of Beciro and Ngengor; (2) Haul Mbah Janten and Mbah Surogati; (3) the Kleman Tradition; (4) Paseban Karang Jiwo; (5) MBET traditions; and (6) Slametan. The social and cultural values ​​implicit in the oral tradition are the values ​​of mutual cooperation, andap ashor, tepo seliro, aji mareng sesepuh, friendship, tolerance, religious, and historical values.
