Is the boundary of fun redefined in a mixed-reality serious game?
Authors: Taly Antoine
Published: January 2019

Considering Games with the broad definition proposed by Juul (Juul, 2010), consequences outside of the magic circle can be negotiated. This definition opens up the possibility to define serious games, games developed with an utilitarian goal in mind, in addition to fun. The entertaining and utilitarian objectives may however be contradictory, leading serious games to be, more often than not, less than optimal in at least one of the two dimensions. Another way to play with the boundaries of games is to consider pervasive games, which include alternate reality games, and crossmedia games (Montola, 2005). We question here the limit between game, play and toy in the context of a mixed reality serious game. ‘Pangu’ is a game designed for bachelor students, with biochemistry as the utilitarian objective, and the origin of life as a game theme. The students are asked to play the game on their smartphone, which in turn ask them to build molecules with a tangible balls-and-sticks model typically used in chemistry classes. Pictures taken from the models allow users to ‘scan’ these models and progress in the game. The use of the game was observed in four opportunities. An unanticipated observation is that, in addition to expected behaviors, some students used briefly the models like a toy rather than in the context of the game. It is therefore tempting to speculate that the pervasive nature of the game is blurring the game/non game boundary and, in the context of this serious game, opens a door for fun.

Published: January 2019

Strip-mined land (SML) disturbed by coal-mining is the non-crop land resource that can be utilized to cultivate high-yielding energy crops such as miscanthus for bioenergy applications. However, the biomass yield potential, annual availability and environmental impacts on growing energy crops in SML are less understood. In this study, we estimated the yield potential of miscanthus (Miscanthus sinensis) in SML and its environmental impacts on local streams using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). After calibration and validation of the SWAT model, the results demonstrated that miscanthus yield potentials were 2.6 (0.8−5.53), 10.0 (1.3−16.0) and 16.0 (1.34−26.0) Mg ha-1 with the fertilizer application rate of 0, 100, and 200 kg-N ha-1 respectively. Furthermore, cultivation of miscanthus in the SML has the potential to reduce sediment (~20%) and nitrate (2.5%−10.0 %) loads reaching to water streams with a marginal increase in phosphorus load. The available SML in the United States could produce about 10 to 16 dry Tg of biomass per year without negatively impacting the water quality. In conclusion, SML can provide a unique opportunity to produce biomass for bioenergy applications, while improving stream water quality in highly dense mining area (the Appalachian region) in the United States.
From Politics to Education: Nurcholish Madjid and the Reform of Education In Indonesia
Authors: Amali Mushlihin
Published: January 2019

This paper attempts to understand Nurcholish Madjid’s Islamic education reform. After the death of Nurcholish Madjid, his education appears as a significant human capital investment which might become the instrument which constantly keep Nurcholish Madjid’s legacies alive, developed, and disseminated through times. Apart from this fact, Nurcholish Madjid’s Islamic education reform has not been yet the main focus of previous researches. Focusing on Nurcholish Madjid’s Islamic education reform, this paper looks at the educational activities of Nurcholish Madjid mainly in IAIN-UIN Jakarta and Paramadina. In this regards, this paper investigates Nurcholish Madjid’s Islamic education reform and the contexts within which it was developed. This investigation provides an insight to the discussion of the subject which tries to answer the questions of what kind of ideas which were developed by Nurcholish Madjid to reform Islamic education in Indonesia; how he defined, interpreted, and applied the ideas for the development of Islamic education in Indonesia. Eventually this paper suggests that in teaching and understanding Islam, Nurcholish Madjid obviously treated Islam not only as a religion, but also as a historical, sociological, and anthropological phenomenon which must be studied in an open, democratic, participatory, pluralistic, and inclusive way.

Ayat-Ayat Tentang Masyarakat: Kajian Konsep Dan Implikasinya Dalam Pengembangan Pendidikan Islam
Authors: Anwar Najih
Published: January 2019

This article discusses the concept of society in the Qur'an in relation to the development of Islamic education. The term community can be seen from the existence of various other terms that can be related to the concept of community development, such as the terms qaum, ummah, sha'b, qabāil. There needs to be an understanding of the ideal concept of society to develop the concept of education. Understanding the ideal concept of society is very necessary in order to develop the concept of education. With regard to this there are at least four things that illustrate the relationship between the concept of society and education, among others: First, that the ideal picture of society must be one of the considerations in designing the vision, mission and goals of education; Second, the ideal picture of the community must also be the basis for the development of community-based education; Third, developments and progress that occur in the community must also be considered in formulating educational goals; Fourth, developments and progress in the community must be used as a basis for curriculum formulation.

This can be influenced by several factors such as the execution time of BTQ extracurricular activities, the supporting tools of BTQ activities which are still minimal and only using the Teachers book, as well as internal and external factors of the students themselves.
Dynamics of Low-Interfacial-Tension Imbibition in Oil-Wet Carbonates
Authors: Tagavifar M.. , Balhoff M.. , Mohanty K.. , Pope G. A.
Published: January 2019

Surfactants induce spontaneous imbibition of water into oil-wet porous media by wettability alteration and interfacial-tension (IFT) reduction. Although the dependence of imbibition on wettability alteration is well-understood, the role of IFT is not as clear. This is partly because, at low IFT values, most water/oil/amphiphile(s) mixtures form emulsions and/or microemulsions, suggesting that the imbibition is accompanied by a phase change, which has been neglected or incorrectly accounted for in previous studies. In this paper, spontaneous displacement of oil from oil-wet porous media by microemulsion-forming surfactants is investigated through simulations and the results are compared with existing experimental data for low-permeability cores with different aspect ratios and permeabilities. Microemulsion viscosity and oil contact angles, with and without surfactant, were measured to better initialize and constrain the simulation model. Results show that with such processes, the imbibition rate and the oil recovery scale differently with core dimensions. Specifically, the rate of imbibition is faster in cores with larger diameter and height, but the recovery factor is smaller when the core aspect ratio deviates considerably from unity. With regard to the mechanism of water uptake, our results suggest, for the first time, that (i) microemulsion formation (i.e., fluid/fluid interface phenomenon) is fast and favored over the wettability alteration (i.e., rock-surface phenomenon) in short times; (ii) a complete wettability transition from an oil-wet to a mixed microemulsion-wet and surfactant-wet state always occurs at ultralow IFT; (iii) wettability alteration causes a more uniform imbibition profile along the core but creates a more diffused imbibition front; and (iv) total emulsification is a strong assumption and fails to describe the dynamics and the scaling of imbibition. Wettability alteration affects the imbibition dynamics locally by changing the composition path, and at a distance by changing the flow behavior. Simulations predict that even though water is not initially present, it forms inside the core. The implications of these results for optimizing the design of low-IFT imbibition are discussed.
A New Approach to the Analytical Treatment of Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage: A Prescribed Interface Model
Authors: Keshavarz Mohsen , Harding Thomas G. , Chen Zhangxin
Published: January 2019

The majority of the models in the literature for the steam-assisted-gravity-drainage (SAGD) process solve the problem of conductive heat transfer ahead of a moving hot interface using a quasisteady-state assumption and extend the solution to the base of the steam chamber where the interface is not moving. This approach, as discussed by Butler (1985) and Reis (1992), results in inaccurate or sometimes infeasible estimations of the oil-production rate, steam/oil ratio (SOR), and steam-chamber shape. In this work, a new approach for the analytical treatment of SAGD is proposed in which the problem of heat transfer is directly solved for a stationary source of heat at the base of the steam chamber, where the oil production occurs. The distribution of heat along the interface is then estimated depending on the geometry of the steam chamber.

This methodology is more representative of the heat-transfer characteristics of SAGD and resolves the challenges of those earlier models. In addition, it allows for the extension of the formulations to the early stages of the process when the side interfaces of the chamber are almost stationary, without loss of the solution continuity. The model requires the overall shape of the steam chamber as an input. It then estimates the movement of chamber interfaces using the movement of the uppermost interface point and by satisfying the global material-balance requirements. Oil-production rate and steam demand are estimated by Darcy's law and energy-balance calculations, respectively. The result is a model that is applicable to the entire lifetime of a typical SAGD project and provides more-representative estimations of in-situ heat distribution, bitumen-production rate, and SOR.

With the improved knowledge obtained on the fundamentals of heat transfer in SAGD, the reason for the discrepancies between the various earlier models will be clarified. Results of the analytical models developed in this work show reasonable agreement with fine-scale numerical simulation, which indicates that the primary physics are properly captured. In the final section of the paper, the application of the developed models to two field case studies will be demonstrated.

Published: January 2019

Las instituciones de educación superior (IES) colombianas están permanente sometidas a esquemas de clasificación que le otorgan mayor o menor visibilidad en el ámbito académico. Esto genera grandes expectativas y por ello la reciente publicación de la clasificación de la IES colombianas, basado en apropiación social del conocimiento (ASC), es controversial. Las clasificaciones, como cualquier estrategia que pretende establecer un orden no suelen ser completamente objetivas y se pueden confi­gurar como un dispositivo ideológico y político que promueven la estigmatización y exclusión.
Using Naïve Bayes Algorithm to Estimate the Response to Drug in Lung Cancer Patients
Authors: Guo Baoling , Zheng Qiuxiang
Published: January 2019

Aim and Objective:

Lung cancer is a highly heterogeneous cancer, due to the significant
differences in molecular levels, resulting in different clinical manifestations of lung cancer patients
there is a big difference. Including disease characterization, drug response, the risk of recurrence,
survival, etc.

Method:

Clinical patients with lung cancer do not have yet particularly effective treatment options,
while patients with lung cancer resistance not only delayed the treatment cycle but also caused strong
side effects. Therefore, if we can sum up the abnormalities of functional level from the molecular
level, we can scientifically and effectively evaluate the patients' sensitivity to treatment and make the
personalized treatment strategies to avoid the side effects caused by over-treatment and improve the
prognosis.

Result & Conclusion:

According to the different sensitivities of lung cancer patients to drug
response, this study screened out genes that were significantly associated with drug resistance. The
bayes model was used to assess patient resistance.

Authors: Zhang Junfu , Wang Liying , You Xinru , Xian Tuzeng , Wu Jun , Pang Jun
Published: January 2019

Traditional prostate cancer therapy and especially chemotherapy has faced many challenges.
Low accumulation levels, rapid clearance or drug resistance at the tumor site have been central to why
the effect of chemotherapy drugs has declined. Applications of nanotechnology to biomedicine have enabled
the development of nanoparticle therapeutic carriers suited for the delivery of chemotherapeutics
in cancer therapy. This review describes the current nature of nanoparticle therapeutic carriers for prostate
cancer. It describes typical nanocarriers commonly used for the delivery of chemotherapy or for imaging
examination. Targeting strategies and related influencing factors are investigated to find ways of
enhancing treatment effects of nanoparticles. The overall purpose of this review is to further understanding
and to offer recommendations on the design and development of therapeutic nanoparticles for prostate
cancer.

Published: January 2019

Background and Objectives:

Multiple-Drug-Resistance (MDR) among bacteria is an
imminent problem and alternative therapies are seen as a future abode. Agarwood Oil (AO) is
described to possess antimicrobial activity besides many other medicinal utilities. This paper
discusses the antimicrobial activity of AO on MDR and non-MDR strains of microbes of 69
genera isolated from clinical and non-clinical samples.

Methods and Results:

In this study sensitivity of microbes was determined for conventional
antimicrobials and AO using disc diffusion assay followed by determination of minimum
inhibitory concentration (MIC) using agar well dilution assay. A total of 18.5% (522) strains were
found sensitive to AO. Carbapenem resistant bacterial strains were more often (p, ≤0.01) resistant
to antibiotics with 4.2 times more odds (99% CI, 2.99-5.90) of being MDR than carbapenem
sensitive strains but no difference in their AO sensitivity was observed. However, MDR strains
were more often (p, <0.001) resistant to AO than non-MDR strains. Bacteria isolated from dogs
were more often sensitive to AO than those from buffaloes, human, horse, and cattle. On the other
hand, bacteria from pigs were more often (p, ≤0.05) resistant to AO than bacteria from human,
cattle, buffaloes, dogs, wild carnivores and birds. Oxidase positive Gram positive bacteria had 4.29
(95% CI, 2.94-6.27) times more odds to be AO sensitive than oxidase negative Gram negative
bacteria. Bacillus species strains were the most sensitive bacteria to AO followed by strains of
Streptococcus and Staphylococcus. The MIC of AO for different bacteria ranged from 0.01 mg/mL
to > 2.56 mg/mL.

Conclusion:

The study concluded that MDR and AO resistance had a similar trend and AO may
not be seen as a good antimicrobial agent against MDR strains.

Published: January 2019

Background:

Tobacco smoking is among the most significant predictors of cardiovascular disease and lung cancer in People Living with HIV (PLHIV). Smoking rates in this population are high, necessitating more effective smoking cessation strategies. We conducted a descriptive analysis of tobacco-related clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of smokers at a tertiary care HIV clinic in Montreal and an exploratory analysis of smoking cessation methods in order to identify potential areas of improvement in the clinic’s approach to smoking cessation.

Methods:

A convenience sample of patients completed a 10-minute questionnaire on tobacco-related behaviours and outcomes. Use of smoking cessation methods was compared using McNemar’s exact test with a Bonferroni correction for multiple testing (p<0.01 considered significant).

Results:

Seventy-two PLHIV participated. Two-thirds of our total participants were interested in quitting within six months, but the use of effective cessation strategies was low, particularly for counseling and oral therapy. Overall, oral therapy (e.g.varenicline) (16.7%) and counseling for cessation (5.6%) were used less than nicotine patches (50.0%) or ‘other’ methods (50.0%), which included abstinence and nicotine gum (p<0.001).

Conclusion:

Despite a small and potentially unrepresentative sample of HIV positive tobacco smokers at our clinic, this study could help guide further research aiming to determine and address barriers to smoking cessation and access to effective smoking cessation aids in PLHIV. Future studies might consider factors that affect motivation to quit, such as co-morbid mental health and substance use disorders, or the attitudes of HIV healthcare providers.

Background:

Osteoporosis is a major public health issue in several countries worldwide because it increases healthcare costs, and is a risk for mortality. There have been several studies that have examined BMD among the various Thai people and the regions that they inhabit.

Objective:

This study examined the distal forearm Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in men and women over 40 years of age among members of various Karen hill-tribes located in the Omkoi District, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand.

Methods:

Two hundred and sixty-two subjects (180 women, 82 men), ranging from 40 to 83 years old were recruited in this study. The non-dominant distal forearm bone mineral density was assessed by using peripheral dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (pDEXA).

Results:

The results showed that the BMD were 0.530 ± 0.065, 0.508 ± 0.087, 0.461 ± 0.098, and 0.438 ± 0.124 g/cm2for men age 40-49 years, age 50-59 years, age 60-69 years, and ages 70-83 years, respectively. For women, the BMD were 0.392 ± 0.051, 0.337 ± 0.063, 0.232 ± 0.065, and 0.212 ± 0.069 g/cm2among women age 40-49 years, age 50-59 years, age 60-69 years, and ages 70-83 years, respectively. BMD had decreased in post-menopause as a function of duration time after menopause.

Conclusion:

We determined the prevalence of osteoporosis of men and women of Karen hill-tribes in the Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. These findings provided important information regarding bone health in Karen hill-tribes for any healthcare planning done in the immediate future.

Dentro de los cambios que trajo el proceso de globalización del siglo XXI para el campo militar, está la emergencia de nuevos actores dispuestos a prestar servicios de seguridad para el Estado como alternativa en confrontación de asimétricos. Estas dinámicas han propiciado violaciones a los derechos humanos y al derecho internacional humanitario. El presente documento aborda de manera crítica y descriptiva la incidencia de las empresas militares de seguridad privada en estas situaciones. En el estudio se evidencia que la participación de los mercenarios del siglo XXI en los conflictos armados internacionales, no internacionales e internacionalizados ponen en cuestión el accionar de los Estados, puesto que estos no asumen la debida responsabilidad internacional. En la investigación se empleó una metodología de análisis cualitativo con un enfoque descriptivo.
Entre el discurso y la acción efectiva: las contradicciones de la política de defensa de Macri
Authors: Anzelini Luciano
Published: January 2019

La primera mitad del gobierno de Mauricio Macri (2015-2017) se ha caracterizado por un discurso militarizante de la seguridad pública. Sin embargo, el “consenso básico en materia de seguridad y defensa” no se ha visto alterado en lo sustantivo. Un análisis detallado de las políticas de su administración exhibe una contradicción entre el plano retórico y las medidas concretas adoptadas. Tras la evaluación de la correlación entre el discurso de alto nivel político con las iniciativas legislativas y ejecutivas de lucha contra las “nuevas amenazas”, se encontró que la ausencia de medidas imprescindibles para empalmar dicho discurso militarizante con las políticas específicas tiene una explicación más financiera que estratégico-militar. Se ha observado, durante el periodo en estudio, una relativa “desmilitarización” en materia de lucha contra el narcotráfico, consecuencia del ajuste fiscal que orienta la política económica. Asimismo, existen elementos de orden político que contribuyen a este resultado.
