Published: March 2019

Pengeringan merupakan proses perpindahan panas dan uap air secara simultan yang memerlukan energi panas untuk menguapkan kandungan air dari bahan yang akan dikeringkan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan cara simulasi. Produk yang dipilih untuk simulasi ini yaitu teh. Simulasi numerik perpindahan massa pada teh dilakukan dengan menempatkan material teh pada domain komputasi sebuah aliran eksternal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis distribusi temperatur pada partikel teh dengan menggunakan Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) dan menganalisis pengaruh variasi kecepatan inlet dan temperatur inlet terhadap waktu pengeringan sehingga diperoleh metode pengeringan yang paling optimum pada pengeringan teh. Penurunan massa pada teh dihitung secara analitik dengan menggunakan persamaan laju penurunan massa. Teh dimodelkan dengan bentuk menyerupai silinder setelah dilakukan pelayuan untuk kemudian dikeringkan. Kecepatan masuk aliran udara dan temperatur masuk divariasikan sesuai dengan batas kecepatan minimum dan maksimum fluidisasi dan temperatur pengeringan teh untuk fluidized bed dryer. Waktu yang digunakan untuk menurunkan kadar air hingga 3% berdasarkan temperatur pada kecepatan 1,6 m/s secara berurutan adalah 354 s (880C), 300 s (930C), dan 256 s (980C). Sementara pada kecepatan 2,6 m/s waktu yag dibutuhkan adalah 277 s (880C), 234 s (930C), dan 200 s (980C) serta untuk kecepatan 3,6 m/s berturut-turut 235 s (880C), 199 s (930C), dan 169 s (980C). Untuk pengeringan teh lebih optimal dilakukan dengan menaikkan kececepatan masuk aliran fluida dibandingkan dengan menaikkan temperatur.

Tegangan tinggi tidak hanya digunakan untuk keperluan transmisi, tetapi juga untuk penelitian di laboratorium. Pada umumnya, tegangan tinggi dibangkitkan menggunakan pembangkit tegangan tinggi konvensional yang berukuran besar. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan rangkaian yang lebih sederhana untuk membangkitkan tegangan tinggi, misalnya menggunakan konverter flyback. Konverter flyback merupakan konverter DC-DC yang memiliki isolasi di antara masukan dan keluarannya. Komponen utama dari konverter flyback adalah trafo step up dan komponen pensaklaran. Pada penelitian ini dirancang penerapan zero voltage switching (ZVS) pada konverter flyback untuk membangkitkan tegangan tinggi. Trafo step up dan komponen pensaklaran yang digunakan adalah trafo flyback dari monitor CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) dan MOSFET IRFP460. Tegangan tinggi hasil pembangkitan konverter flyback diterapkan pada reaktor ozon. Pada pengujian mode pensaklaran dengan menerapkan ZVS diketahui tegangan drain-source MOSFET (VDS) bernilai nol ketika MOSFET turn off. Pada pengujian tanpa beban dengan variasi duty cycle diperoleh tegangan keluaran sebesar 11,20 kV pada duty cycle 60%. Pengujian tanpa beban dengan variasi frekuensi switching diperoleh tegangan keluaran sebesar 10,80 kV pada frekuensi switching 23 kHz. Pengujian berbeban dengan reaktor ozon sudah dapat menghasilkan ozon dengan konsentrasi 0,02-0,06 ppm pada tegangan operasi 7,4-8,4 kV.

Authors: Amalia Norma
Published: March 2019

Spektrum frekuensi pada jaringan komunikasi nirkabel bersifat terbatas. Oleh karena itu diperlukan solusi dalam mengoptimalkan penggunaan spektrum frekuensi, salah satunya adalah dengan penggunaan jaringan radio kognitif. Spektrum pada jaringan radio kognitif bersifat heterogen, yaitu terdiri dari Primary User (PU) dan Secondary User (SU). Pada jaringan radio kognitif, SU dapat menggunakan kanal yang sama dengan PU selama SU tidak menyebabkan interferensi yang dapat menurunkan unjuk kerja dari PU. Salah satu metode yang dapat digunakan untuk meminimalkan interferensi adalah dengan metode pemilihan kanal menggunakan pendekatan game theory. Dengan metode ini, interferensi SU terhadap PU dapat diminimalkan. Pada penelitian ini, dianalisis kinerja dari metode pemilihan kanal menggunakan pendekatan game theory. Unjuk kerja jaringan radio kogntif dapat ditingkatkan dengan dengan menggunakan pemilihan kanal dengan pendekatan game theory. Pada jaringan radio kognitif tanpa keberadaan PU, nilai throughput tanpa pendekatan game theory PU sebesar 20,28 bps sedangkan dengan pendekatan game theory sebesar 23,58 bps. Nilai rata-rata SIR tanpa pendekatan game theory sebesar 18,08 dB sedangkan dengan pendekatan game theory sebesar 21,4 dB.

Published: March 2019

Repetitive action potentials (APs) in hippocampal CA3 pyramidal cells (CA3-PCs) backpropagate to distal apical dendrites, and induce calcium and protein tyrosine kinase (PTK)-dependent downregulation of Kv1.2, resulting in long-term potentiation of direct cortical inputs and intrinsic excitability (LTP-IE). When APs were elicited by direct somatic stimulation of CA3-PCs from rodents of either sex, only a narrow window of distal dendritic [Ca2+] allowed LTP-IE because of Ca2+-dependent coactivation of PTK and protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP), which renders non-mossy fiber (MF) inputs incompetent in LTP-IE induction. High-frequency MF inputs, however, could induce LTP-IE at high dendritic [Ca2+] of the window. We show that MF input-induced Zn2+signaling inhibits postsynaptic PTP, and thus enables MF inputs to induce LTP-IE at a wide range of [Ca2+]ivalues. Extracellular chelation of Zn2+or genetic deletion of vesicular zinc transporter abrogated the privilege of MF inputs for LTP-IE induction. Moreover, the incompetence of somatic stimulation was rescued by the inhibition of PTP or a supplement of extracellular zinc, indicating that MF input-induced increase in dendritic [Zn2+] facilitates the induction of LTP-IE by inhibiting PTP. Consistently, high-frequency MF stimulation induced immediate and delayed elevations of [Zn2+] at proximal and distal dendrites, respectively. These results indicate that MF inputs are uniquely linked to the regulation of direct cortical inputs owing to synaptic Zn2+signaling.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTZn2+has been mostly implicated in pathological processes, and the physiological roles of synaptically released Zn2+in intracellular signaling are little known. We show here that Zn2+released from hippocampal mossy fiber (MF) terminals enters postsynaptic CA3 pyramidal cells, and plays a facilitating role in MF input-induced heterosynaptic potentiation of perforant path (PP) synaptic inputs through long-term potentiation of intrinsic excitability (LTP-IE). We show that the window of cytosolic [Ca2+] that induces LTP-IE is normally very narrow because of the Ca2+-dependent coactivation of antagonistic signaling pairs, whereby non-MF inputs become ineffective in inducing excitability change. The MF-induced Zn2+signaling, however, biases toward facilitating the induction of LTP-IE. The present study elucidates why MF inputs are more privileged for the regulation of PP synapses.

Published: March 2019

En la localidad portuguesa de Barcelos, situada al oeste de la ciudad de Braga, se ubica la iglesia de Nossa Senhora do Terço, perteneciente a un antiguo monasterio de religiosas benedictinas. El interior del templo, que conserva prácticamente intacto el esplendor decorativo barroco característico de las primeras décadas del siglo XVIII, presenta los muros del cuerpo de la nave totalmente revestidos de azulejos historiados fechados en 1713, y atribuidos al taller lisboeta de António de Oliveira Bernardes. Estos revestimientos cerámicos contienen representaciones con episodios de la vida de San Benito que se combinan, en los zócalos, con sendas series de jeroglíficos con los que se ilustran diversos pasajes y sentencias de la Regla del santo fundador. En el presente trabajo ofrecemos un análisis iconográfico de este programa emblemático, interesante por su orientación marcadamente formativa y edificante, rasgo que resulta habitual en las series jeroglíficas de la azulejería barroca portuguesa.

Authors: Aramburu-Zabala Miguel Ángel
Published: March 2019

En la segunda mitad del siglo XIV, el comerciante y armador Juan Gutiérrez de Escalante llevó a cabo un amplio programa constructivo en la iglesia colegial de Santander (actual catedral) que incluía cerrar la nave de la Epístola de la iglesia con un muro decorado con una Virgen con el Niño de madera; y la erección de dos capillas, la de Santa María de Cueto en la propia iglesia, y la de Santiago, adosada al claustro. El citado muro, con su heráldica, su inscripción y su imagen de la Virgen con el Niño, se erige como símbolo propagandístico de una familia que dominaba el barrio noble de la villa, la Puebla Vieja. La capilla de Santiago será la más suntuosa de la iglesia colegial, mostrando la importancia del patronazgo privado laico en el arte gótico del siglo XIV.

The purpose of the study: to identify significant changes in the electrochemical properties of quarantine-stored blood plasma and of donor blood plasma during its in vitro mixing with quarantined plasma in order to assess the effect of transfusion of quarantine-stored plasma on recipient plasma in a model experiment. Materials and methods. Blood plasma of 20 clinically healthy volunteer donors was quarantined for 6 months at -40°C. Monitoring of the redox potential (RP) of the quarantined plasma was carried out directly on the day of sampling without freezing the sample, and then on days 1, 3, 7 and 14, as well as after 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 months of storage of frozen samples. Each of 15 blood plasma samples donated by clinically healthy volunteers was mixed in vitro with blood plasma quarantined for 6 months at a ratio 1:1, and the RP of the mixture was measured by a platinum microelectrode technique. Results. It was found that during the storage of quarantined samples at a temperature of -40°C, the blood RP shifted to more positive values in 70% of cases. Addition of the quarantined plasma to the plasma of practically healthy volunteer donors also led to a shift in the final mixture RP to positive values in 13 of 15 cases (87%). Conclusion. Significant changes in RP values have been found when measuring the RP of the quarantined blood plasma, demonstrating predominantly oxidative processes in the plasma. Since significant shift of RP in blood plasma to the positive values has been associated with the deterioration of the patient's state, we concluded that further clinical studies on the use of quarantined plasma with high positive RP values are warranted.

The influence of ultrasound on the behavior of Brwon Rats (Rattus norvegicus, Berkenhout, 1769) in the open field test is considered in the article. Animals were exposed to ultrasound at 22 kHz and simultaneously at 50-60 kHz for 24 hours. The indices of the activity of the individual in the open field were compared before and after the experiment. As a result of the tests, multidirectional changes in motor activity (number of columns and intersected squares), frequency of defecations and duration of grooming were revealed. The results obtained show that the behavior of most rats after exposure to ultrasound tended to change, but these data did not differ significantly. Thus, the use of the Quadblaster QB-4 and Filin ultrasound scanners at a frequency of 22 kHz and 50-60 kHz for 24 hours did not cause a significant change in the behavior of the animals, and therefore their use as repellents for gray rats appears to be ineffective.

Published: March 2019

A fingerprint analysis method was established for the quality control of Moringa seed shells by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC–DAD). The HPLC–DAD separation was performed on a Thermo Hypersil Gold C18 (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm) column by gradient elution with acetonitrile–water as mobile phase. The fingerprint of Moringa seed shells was established with good precision, reproducibility, and stability obtaining within 60 min, and 13 common peaks in the fingerprint were designed. Similarity analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) were carried out to analyze the obtained fingerprints. The similarity among 11 batches of samples in addition to No. 5 and 6 was no less than 0.92. Eleven samples could be classified into 2 clusters. The HPLC fingerprint technology and application of chemical pattern recognition can provide a more comprehensive reference for the quality control of medicinal plants.
Fecal microbiota transplantation decreases intestinal loads of multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in murine carriers
Authors: Mrazek Katharina , Bereswill Stefan , Heimesaat Markus M.
Published: March 2019

Intestinal carriage of multi-drug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Psae) constitutes a pivotal prerequisite for subsequent fatal endogenous infections in patients at risk. We here addressed whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) could effectively combat MDR-Psae carriage. Therefore, secondary abiotic mice were challenged with MDR-Psae by gavage. One week later, mice were subjected to peroral FMT from either murine or human donors on 3 consecutive days. Irrespective of murine or human origin of fecal transplant, intestinal MDR-Psae loads decreased as early as 24 h after the initial FMT. Remarkably, the murine FMT could lower intestinal MDR-Psae burdens by approximately 4 log orders of magnitude within 1 week. In another intervention study, mice harboring a human gut microbiota were perorally challenged with MDR-Psae and subjected to murine FMT on 3 consecutive days, 1 week later. Strikingly, within 5 days, murine FMT resulted in lower loads and carrier rates of MDR-Psae in mice with a human gut microbiota. In conclusion, FMT might be a promising antibiotics-independent option to combat intestinal MDR-Psae carriage and thus prevent from future endogenous infections of patients at risk.

Abstract:

Introduction: Most human parechovirus (HPeV, family Picornaviridae) infections are asymptomatic but may cause gastroenteritis in children. New reports show that HPeVs can be associated with severe central nervous system symptoms and sepsis-like syndromes in infants. The clinical significance of HPeVs in Hungary has not been investigated before. Aim: The aim of this study was to detect genotype HPeV in faecal samples of children and analysis of the clinical symptoms. Method: For the detection and genotyping of HPeV strains, reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction and sequencing methods were used from faecal samples of children with gastroenteritis divided into three groups: group A) hospitalised children younger than 10 years (n = 75); group B) 0–12 months infants (n = 237) and group C) children less than 18 years of age with sepsis-like/neurological symptoms (n = 105) were tested. Results: Three HPeV positive samples (3/75, 4%) were found in group A, two of them belong to the HPeV type 1, the third was non-typeable. All positive samples were from infants of 7 to 11 months of age. In group B, HPeV was detected in 6.8% (16/237) of the samples. Five were HPeV1, six were HPeV3 and five were non-typeable. While most of the infants with HPeV1 (4/5) did not require hospitalisation, 83% of the HPeV3 infected infants (5/6) did. Five (4.8%) HPeV strains detected from children less than 18 years of age with sepsis-like/neurological symptoms (group C) belonged to HPeV1 (three) and HPeV3 (two). All positive samples were from hospitalised infants less than 2 months of age. Conclusion: HPeV1 infections are less severe in infants than HPeV3 infections. The leading symptom of HPeV1 was diarrhoea, although in infants less than 1–2 months neurological symptoms (somnolence, lassitude) were also present. HPeV3 infections were more common among newborns. The main symptoms of severe HPeV3 infection are: gastroenteritis (7/8), fever ≥38 °C (6/7), loss of appetite (6/7), rash (4/7), somnolence/lassitude (3/7), sepsis-like syndrome (3/7) and respiratory symptoms (2/7).

PRINSIP EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW SEBAGAI ILLAT HUKUM DALAM QISHAS MENURUT AL-SYAFI’I DAN ABU HANIFAH
Authors: Munawar Riskiyanto
Published: March 2019

AbstractIn Islamic law, a deliberate act of murder is sanctioned with qishash according to Allah’s SWT commandment in al-Quran Surah al-Baqarah verse 178. In its application, the Islamic Law scholars agree that if someone kills intentionally without any shar’i reasons, then the penalty is qishash. However there is a disagreement about sanctions for a Muslim who kills a non-muslim, whether the qishash is applied to this situation or not. Using a comparative descriptive method, the results show that the death penalty (qishash) according to al-Shafi'i can only be applied if both the perpetrator and victim are fellow Muslims, and qishash does not apply if the victim is a non-Muslim. His view is based upon dzahir nash. As for Abu Hanifa, it was argued that qishash was still carried out even though the victim was a dhimmi (a protected non-muslim), considering that Islamic law does not only apply to Muslims, but also to all human. This opinion is in line with the principle of equality before the law as applicable in Indonesia.Keywords: qishash, equality before the law, human rightsAbstrakDalam Hukum Islam, tindakan pembunuhan yang disengaja disanksi dengan qishash sebagaimana firman Allah SAW dalam al-Quran surat al-Baqarah ayat 178. Dalam penerapan­nya, jumhur ulama sepakat, bahwa apabila seseorang membunuh dengan sengaja tanpa alasan yang dibenarkan syar’i, maka hukumannya adalah qishash. Namun mereka berbeda pendapat tentang sanksi bagi seorang muslim yang membunuh seorang kafir (dzimmi). Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif komparatif, Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sanksi hukuman mati (qishash) menurut al-Syafi’i hanya dapat diterapkan apabila pelaku dan korban adalah sesama muslim, dan qishash tidak berlaku apabila korban seorang non-muslim karena adanya perbedaan keyakinan antara pembunuh dan yang dibunuh sebagaimana dzahir nash. Adapun Abu Hanifah berpendapat, bahwa qishah tetap dilakukan meskipun korban adalah seorang dzimmi, mengingat hukum Islam tidak hanya berlaku bagi umat muslim saja, namun juga bagi seluruh manusia. pendapat tersebut sejalan dengan asas persamaan dihadapan hukum sebagaimana yang berlaku di Indonesia.Kata Kunci: Qishash, persamaan dihadapan hukum, hak asasi manusia

On the efficiency of slit-check dams in retaining granular flows
Authors: Marchelli Maddalena , Leonardi Alessandro , Pirulli Marina , Scavia Claudio
Published: March 2019

Retention barriers are a common countermeasure for mitigating the hazards associated with debris flows. With the aim to regulate sediment transport and retain large boulders, which have the potential to be highly destructive, openings are nowadays embedded in the barrier body. The rational design of the size and spacing of these outlets is a non-trivial, and still open, issue. Nevertheless, its solution is necessary in order to control the clogging process and consequently guarantee the effectiveness and efficiency of the barrier. In this paper, an enhanced numerical model, based on the discrete-element method, is presented, validated and proposed to analyse the interaction between dry, granular flows and barriers with a single outlet (slit-check dams). The lower and upper values of the outlet size that causes clogging of the outlet are identified. These are found to be a function of the channel inclination and the frictional properties of the grains. There is a range of outlet sizes that promotes slow and progressive clogging. The conditions necessary for this condition to occur are determined. This allows the barrier to perform an energy-breaking function for a longer time and requires less maintenance after a debris flow event.

Published: March 2019

The government of India has initiated a number of programmes for eradication of poverty of which Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is an influential stride towards the right to work. It was
launched with the aim of providing livelihood security to the adult members of rural households through guaranteed wage employment for hundred days in a financial year. It provides equal wages to both male and female workers besides 33 per cent
participation for women. The state of Himachal Pradesh has been praised for its implementation due to the fact that it tops in providing employment to women under the scheme. Therefore, the performance and execution as well as various processes in
the effective execution of the scheme were examined through a study entitled “Performance and Execution of MNREGS in Kangra district of H.P.” the study was carried out in the year 2013-14 in Kangra district of H.P. The results indicated that all the
guidelines being mandated in the Act were found to be followed properly as against the provision of 100 days of employment and wage payment on weekly basis (i.e. a delay in wage payment was observed). The relevant problems were insufficient and
untimely flow of funds by the higher authorities to the Panchayat as a result of which employment for complete 100 days and on weekly basis couldn’t be met. Therefore, a need to strengthen sufficient and timely release of funds to Panchayat by the
higher authorities as well as meeting 100 days of employment and timely payment of wages was suggested as a result of this study.

Published: March 2019

The present research has been an endeavour to study the impact of the Country of Origin (COO) of brand on brand placement effectiveness in different media types in India. The study investigates experimentally how the COO
(Domestic/Foreign) of the placed brand in two different media types (Bollywood movies and reality TV shows) influence brand placement efficacy in an emerging economy like India. We propose that the COO andMedia Type play a significant role in brand
placement efficacy. The hypotheses were tested via a 2 × 2 full factorial MANOVA with COO (Domestic/Foreign) and media type (Bollywood movies/Reality TV shows) as the independent variables. The results confirm that brand placement efficacy does not
differ with regard to the COO of placed brand. However, Media Type does influence brand placement efficacy. Our paper bridges the gap between theory and practice by suggesting improvement in brand placement in non – traditional mass media like
Bollywood movies and reality TV shows. Implications concerning both research and managerial practices are offered and are encouraging for brand managers.

Published: March 2019

This article reports a study investigating the English teacher’s strategies for assisting secondary school students of English to be critically literate through an analysis of narrative texts. In this study, Luke and Freebody’s (1999) four resources model of critical literacy was used as a framework for English instruction situated in an Indonesian secondary school. Data were collected from classroom observations, students’ reflective journals, and an interview with secondary school students. The findings showed that the four resources model of critical literacy, to some extent, helped students to become critically literate especially at the stage of meaning-making-of and criticizing the text. The implication of the study is that there is the possibility of implementing critical literacy-oriented English classrooms in Indonesian and Asian secondary schools.

Numerous studies comparing native and non-native English teachers have found that ESL students prefer native teachers for teaching speaking skills and pronunciation.  In other words, non-native teachers are viewed as less superior in matters related to spoken language.  This study explores international students’ views on spoken English of Malaysian teachers in English language classrooms. 81 international students who were attending English language classes as a preparation for university programmes at a Malaysian university participated in the study. The students were given a short writing task which required them to rate as well as stated their views on their Malaysian teachers’ spoken English in terms of speech rate, pronunciation, vocabulary, syntax, intelligibility, nativeness and acceptability for global communication. The study found that the international students considered the variety of Malaysian English used in the classroom as highly intelligible with high ratings for speech rates, vocabulary and sentence structures.  Malaysian English is also viewed as highly acceptable for global communication.  Although the teachers’ spoken language was rated lower for pronunciation and nativenesscompared to other traits confirming the views that non-native teachers are perceived as less proficient in pronunciation compared to the other skills, the ratings were still high indicating that in general, the acrolectal variety of Malaysian English as spoken in English classes is reasonably well accepted by other non-native speakers.
