RNAi Screen inTriboliumReveals Involvement of F-BAR Proteins in Myoblast Fusion and Visceral Muscle Morphogenesis in Insects
Authors: Schultheis Dorothea , Schwirz Jonas , Frasch Manfred
Published: February 2019

In a large-scale RNAi screen in Tribolium castaneum for genes with knock-down phenotypes in the larval somatic musculature, one recurring phenotype was the appearance of larval muscle fibers that were significantly thinner than those in control animals. Several of the genes producing this knock-down phenotype corresponded to orthologs of Drosophila genes that are known to participate in myoblast fusion, particularly via their effects on actin polymerization. A new gene previously not implicated in myoblast fusion but displaying a similar thin-muscle knock-down phenotype was the Tribolium ortholog of Nostrin, which encodes an F-BAR and SH3 domain protein. Our genetic studies of Nostrin and Cip4, a gene encoding a structurally related protein, in Drosophila show that the encoded F-BAR proteins jointly contribute to efficient myoblast fusion during larval muscle development. Together with the F-Bar protein Syndapin they are also required for normal embryonic midgut morphogenesis. In addition, Cip4 is required together with Nostrin during the profound remodeling of the midgut visceral musculature during metamorphosis. We propose that these F-Bar proteins help govern proper morphogenesis particularly of the longitudinal midgut muscles during metamorphosis.
On the associativity property of MPF over M16
Authors: Mihalkovich Aleksejus
Published: February 2019

The objective of this paper is to find suitable non-commuting algebraic structure to be used as a platform structure in the so-called matrix power function (MPF). We think it is non-trivial and interesting problem could be useful for candidate one-way function (OWF) construction with application in cryptography. Since the cornerstone of OWF construction using non-commuting algebraic structures is the satisfiability of certain associativity conditions, we consider one of the possible choices, i.e. the group M16, explore its basic properties and construct templates to use in our future work.

Authors: Cook Fallon , Giallo Rebecca , Hiscock Harriet , Mensah Fiona , Sanchez Katherine , Reilly Sheena
Published: February 2019

OBJECTIVES:

To examine profiles of infant regulatory behaviors and associated family characteristics in a community sample of 12-month-old infants and mental health difficulties at 5 and 11 years of age.

METHODS:

Items relating to demographic characteristics, maternal distress, and infant regulation were completed by 1759 mothers when their infants were 8 to 12 months old. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was completed by mothers at child ages 5 (n = 1002) and 11 (n = 871) years.

RESULTS:

Analyses revealed 5 profiles ranging from the most settled infants (36.8%) to those with mainly sleep problems (25.4%), isolated mild-to-moderate tantrums (21.3%), complex regulatory difficulties (13.2%), and complex and severe regulatory difficulties (3.4%). Compared with those in the settled profile, children in the moderately unsettled profile were more likely to score in the clinical range for total difficulties at 11 years of age (odds ratio [OR] 2.85; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.28 to 6.36; P < .01), and children in the severely unsettled profile were more likely to score in the clinical range at 5 (OR 9.35; 95% CI: 2.49 to 35.11; P < .01) and 11 years of age (OR 10.37; 95% CI: 3.74 to 28.70; P < .01).

CONCLUSIONS:

Infants with multiple moderate-to-severe regulatory problems experience substantially heightened odds of clinically significant mental health concerns during childhood, and these symptoms appear to worsen over time. Clinicians must inquire about the extent, complexity, and severity of infant regulatory problems to identify those in the most urgent need of intervention and support.

Thermodynamic, thermoeconomic and environmental performance analyses of a high bypass turbofan engine used on commercial aircrafts
Authors: BALLİ Özgür
Published: February 2019

Exergetic, exergoeconomic and exergoenvironmental
analyses of a high bypass turbofan engine used on commercial aircraft are
performed to determine the magnitudes of the irreversibilities within a the system, exergy cost
formation rates of product and waste exergy, and the environmental damage cost rate of engine
emissions. According to this
study, the GE90-115 turbofan engine produces 324.59 GJ/h- kinetic exergy rate
while it consumes 4.104 kg/s Jet-A fuel. The energy and exergy efficiency
values of the engine are estimated to be 51.00% and 48.05%. The fuel cost rate is
calculated to be 9632.91 US$/h when the specific fuel exergy cost is found to
be 14.24 US$/GJ. The specific product exergy cost is obtained to be 32.23 US$/GJ.
Hovewer, the total environmental damage cost rate of engine emissions (UHC, CO
and NOx) is accounted to be 4552.83 US$/h as long as the specific environmental
damage cost is determined to be 14.02 US$/GJ. As a result, the specific exergoenvironmental
cost is calculated to be 46.25 US$/GJ for Jet-A fuel.
Traveling Wave and Wavelet Based Fault Location Detection in Microgrids
Authors: Küçüker Ahmet , Korkmaz Muhammed Oğuz
Published: February 2019

Demand for renewable energy sources is
increasing day by day. With the increase in demand for renewable energy
sources, the use of microgrids also increases. Microgrids, compared to
traditional grids, have a more complex structure and need more complex protection
functions. In this study, a traveling wave-based fault location detection
system for microgrids with loop distribution systems (looped microgrids) was
developed. In traveling wave-based fault location, measurements taken from one
or both ends of a line are used. However, in looped grids, lines do not have a
beginning or an end. In order to allow the use of traveling wave-based
protection in loop distribution systems, the system is separated into three zones.
To each three separate zone a type D fault locator method was applied, and by
ensuring that these algorithms worked in accordance, fault location detection was
carried out in a looped microgrid.

Two Mobilization Waves of the Czech Anti-Islam Movement
Authors: Prokupkova Vendula
Published: February 2019

In 2015 and 2016, the Czech Republic experienced a massive mobilization of a new anti-Islam and anti-immigration movement. Drawing on the concepts of the post-foundational discourse theory of the Essex School, the theory of populism of Ernesto Laclau and the model analysis of the EuroMayDay Movement provided by the German philosopher Oliver Marchart, this paper engages with the question of how the identity of this movement changed during the initial and later phases of the mobilization. The author distinguishes between two waves of mobilization, which differ regarding the construction of the identity of the movement as well as the number and variety of the collective actors, who succeeded in mobilizing. Whereas at the beginning of the year 2015 the identity of the movement was constructed against Islam as an antagonistic Other, in the middle of the same year a deep chasm between the movement (representing the ‘people’) and the ‘powerful’ emerged. At this point, following Ernesto Laclau’s definition of populism, the movement transformed into a populist movement. Moreover, this transformation was accompanied by the mobilization success of new organizations participating in the movement, including the exponents of the extreme right.
The Leadership of the Czech Far Right 1990-2017
Authors: Slačálek Ondřej
Published: February 2019

The research note attempts to contribute to the analysis of the ideology of the extreme right. Building on Barthes and Žižek, it proposes that we should not reduce this ideology to rational postulates or statements by the participants themselves, but that instead we should look for it in their praxis. It proposes that the figure of the leader should be perceived as an important part of this ideology in terms of both the significance of the leader in the extreme right’s belief systems, and the role of leaders in various extra-parliamentary, extreme-right formations. The empirical part of the article is devoted to the figure of the leader in three periods of the existence of the Czech extreme right, and analyses the transformations in the characteristics that these leaders shared during the movement’s beginnings (1989-2001), the period of its relative decline and repression (2001-2015), and finally, during the period of the rise of Islamophobia (2015-2017). The article concludes that for leaders it is important to have immediate contact with the movement, and to maintain closeness to fellow fighters. This characteristic may outweigh the importance of the cultural capital of musicians from well-known subculture bands and the symbolic capital that may be possessed by veterans from the distant past.
Sosyal Medya ve Çocuk: “Babishko Family Fun TV” İsimli Youtube Kanalının Eleştirel Bir Analizi
Authors: ATALAY Gül Esra
Published: February 2019

Yeni medya teknolojilerinin toplumlara nüfuzu arttıkça, dijital kapitalizm her şeyi
metalaştırma imkânı elde etmektedir. Özellikle Web 2.0 teknolojilerinin sosyal medya
mecralarını mümkün kılması bu süreci hızlandırmıştır. Kapitalizmin dijital dünyadaki
yansımasına çocuklar hem tüketici hem de meta olarak dâhil edilmiştir. YouTube ve benzeri
sosyal medya mecraları için Türkiye’de yasal kullanma yaşı on üçtür. Fakat hem YouTube’da
yayın yapan hem de izleyici olan çocukların yaşları on üç yaş sınırının çok altına inmiş
durumdadır. Son yıllarda Türkiye’de çocuk ve gençler bu mecrayı oldukça denetimsiz şekilde
kullanmakta gerek yayıncı olarak gerekse izleyici olarak psikolojik ve fiziksel gelişimlerini
olumsuz etkileyecek bir sürecin içerisine girebilmektedirler. Öte yandan, çocukların bu
mecralarda görünür kılınmaları, kişilik haklarına ve çocuk haklarına aykırı durumlar ortaya
çıkarabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Çok Modlu Eleştirel Söylem Analizi (Multimodal Critical
Discourse Analysis) yöntemi kullanılarak “Babishko Family Fun TV” isimli Youtube kanalı,
çocukluğun metalaşması, çocuk hakları ve izleyen çocukların tüketime özendirilmeleri
bağlamlarında analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı sosyal medya mecraları-çocuk ilişkisinin
kapitalist sistemle bütünleşik yapısını gözler önüne sermek ve çocuğun sosyal medya
kullanımıyla yaşayabileceği kayıplara dikkat çekmektir. Ebeveynler gerek ilgisiz ve kayıtsız
kalarak çocukların buralarda paylaşım yapmalarına imkân tanımakla, gerekse bizzat
kendileri çocukların bu mecralarda görünür olmasını sağlamakla sorunun derinleşmesine
sebep olmaktadır. Bu konuda, toplumda ebeveynleri bilinçlendiren uyaran, gerektiğinde
cezai yaptırım uygulayan mekanizmaların olmayışı önemli bir sorun olarak belirmektedir.
Çalışma bu soruna dikkat çekmesi açısından önem arz etmektedir.

Authors: AKARSU Haluk , SEVER Necip Serdar
Published: February 2019

Advertising engagement konusunun ele alındığı bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de reklamcılık alanında çalışan uzmanların bu konuya yönelik düşünceleri değerlendirilmiştir. Advertising engagement, pazarlama literatüründe oldukça yeni ve üzerinde tam olarak bir uzlaşının sağlanamadığı bir konudur. Buradan hareketle çalışmanın ilk bölümünde genel olarak engagement ve özel olarak advertising engagement ile ilgili literatür sunulmuştur. Çalışmanın araştırma bölümünde ise Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren reklam ajansı çalışanları ve reklamcılık alanında çalışan akademisyenlerin, bu konuyu ele alış biçimlerinin tespit edilmesine yönelik nitel bir araştırma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu araştırmada 15 uzman ile görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiş ve advertising engagement konusunun ülkemizde nasıl ele alındığına yönelik çeşitli bulgulara ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme yoluyla veriler toplanmış olup, bu veriler betimsel analiz yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Mevcut araştırma ile uzmanların advertising engagementı çok boyutlu olarak ele aldıkları, advertising engagementı bir süreç olarak gördükleri ve bu kavramın Türkçe ifadesinde çeşitli sıkıntılar yaşadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada geleneksel mecralara yönelik reklam uygulamaları gerçekleştiren reklamcıların ve reklam alanında çalışan akademisyenlerin konuya yönelik benzer düşüncelere sahip oldukları; dijital mecralara yönelik reklam uygulamaları gerçekleştiren reklamcıların ise görece daha farklı bakış açılarına sahip oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Dijital alanda faaliyet gösteren reklamcılara göre dijital ortamda gerçekleşen davranışlar, advertising engagementın bir göstergesi olurken; akademisyenler ve geleneksel alanda faaliyet gösteren reklamcılara göre ise bireyin yaşadığı içsel durum, advertising engagementın göstergesi konumundadır. Ayrıca çalışmada dijital reklamcıların, akademisyenler ve geleneksel reklamcılara göre kavramı kendi alanlarında daha net tanımladıkları ve bunu “etkileşim” olarak adlandırdıkları tespit edilmiştir.

Published: February 2019

Sosyal medya, sürekli gelişen teknolojisiyle kuşaklar üzerinde etkili olduğu kadar en aktif kullanıcılarından biri olan Y kuşağının romantik ilişkileri kapsamında da oldukça etkindir. Y kuşağının, teknoloji sever ve sosyal medyayı sık ve etkin kullanan bireylerden oluştuğu, sosyal medyanın da Y kuşağı üzerinde etkisinin fazla olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu etki sadece içerik oluşturma, paylaşım, sosyalleşme, bağlantılı kalma, etkileşim, arkadaşlık, bilgi akışı, öğrenme gibi faaliyetlerle sınırlı değildir. Sosyal medya kullanımının giderek artmasıyla çiftler, ilişkilerini sosyal medyada herkese göstererek yaşama eğilimi göstermektedirler. Sosyal medya kullanımını günlük hayatlarının birer parçası haline getiren çiftler, sosyal medyayı sadece ilişkilerini duyurmak, ifade etmek için değil aynı zamanda partnerlerini kontrol etmek, gözetlemek ve haklarında bilgi almak için de kullanmaya başlamışlardır. Sosyal medyanın romantik ilişkileri nasıl etkilediği konulu bu çalışmanın amacı, Y kuşağının sosyal medya pratiklerinin, romantik ilişkilerindeki davranışları üzerindeki rolünü ölçmektir. Y kuşağını temsil eden 406 kişiye anket uygulanmıştır. Kıskançlık ve gözetim davranışları ile cinsiyet grupları arasında anlamlı bir fark tespit edilememiş ancak en kıskanç grubun bekar ve ilişkisi olmayanlar olduğu; evli olmayan çiftlerin sosyal medyada kıskanma ve gözetim davranışının evli olan çiftlere göre daha fazla olduğu saptanmıştır. Y kuşağı bireylerinde yaş ilerledikçe sosyal medyada partnerlerini kıskanma ve gözetleme eğiliminin azaldığı görülmüştür.

MODERN APPROACHES TO DETERMINE THE PERMEABILITY OF RESERVOIR ROCKS BASED ON THE RESULTS OF GEOPHYSICAL INVESTIGATIONS
Authors: Shynkarenko A.
Published: February 2019

Permeability of rock is its physical property that describes its ability to conduct fluids under the pressure gradient. This paper presents short description and analysis of methods for determination of permeability of oil and gas reservoirs. Permeability is a function of different parameters that leads to difficulties during its estimation. Investigations of the void space structure of rocks, their anisotropy etc.were carried out in order to take into account all factors that have an influence on the permeability. Reservoir conditions could also be modeled for that purpose. Methods for determination of permeability of rocks can be divided into three groups: methods based on the laboratory studies of rocks; methods based on the well logging data; and methods based on the correlations between different parameters of rocks. The first two groups include methods for steady and unsteady fluid flow. Methods for the unsteady flow are usually more precise and rapid, thus prospects of extension of methods for permeability determination are mostly connected with them. Each of the presented methods to determine permeability is characterized by some pros and cons. The most appropriate method for the specific experiment is always chosen according to conditions and requirements and expected results. Further author's investigations will be related to the creation of petrophysical models of permeability of oil and gas reservoir rocks, including reservoirs of complex structure.
ASSESSMENT OF AIR POLLUTION LEVEL OF NITROGEN DIOXIDE AND TRENDS OF IT CHANGES IN THE CITIES OF UKRAINE
Authors: Yatsenko Y. , Shevchenko O. , Snizhko S.
Published: February 2019

The purpose of the work is to study the current level and the main trends of atmospheric air pollution of the cities of Ukraine with nitrogen dioxide to identify the most polluted cities, their ranking to determine the list of cities for the priority implementation of environmental measures.

For the purpose of the study, the information of the Central Geophysical Observatory on the average annual concentrations of nitrogen dioxide in the air of 51 cities of Ukraine for the period 1998-2015 was used.

The study used the classical methods of applied mathematical statistics (estimation of statistical parameters of distribution of concentrations, construction of time trends on the method of least squares, graphical methods of visualization of levels of air pollution), which were implemented using the available programs "MS-Excell" and "Statistica-8.0".

The classification of cities according to the level of MPC exceeds average annual concentrations of nitrogen dioxide. 3 groups of cities were allocated: 1 group (21 cities) permissible level of pollution (<1 MPC); 2 group (27 cities) – increased level of pollution (1-2 MPC); group 3 (3 cities) – high level of pollution (2-3 MPC). It has been established that in the air of 21 cities (41% of all cities where nitrogen dioxide is monitored in the atmosphere) of 51 cities, there is an acceptable level of air pollution. In the remaining cities (59%) – there is a stable excess of MPC. In 23 cities, even the minimum concentrations of NO2 exceed the permissible standards.

The study of long-term dynamics of nitrogen dioxide in air has shown that the increase of concentrations of this pollutant for 1998-2015 is observed in 28 cities (55%) of 51. The most significant increase in concentrations in the air occurred in Kherson, Lutsk, Donetsk and Gorishni Plavni. In 13 cities reduction of concentrations was recorded, and in 10 cities the content of this pollutant in the air practically does not change.
Age-related changes of the vitreous body

Published: February 2019

Innovative advances in recent years in the study of pathological changes of the posterior segment of the eye including the use of optical coherence tomography which is considered the gold standard for diagnosing vitreoretinal interface pathology, not only significantly expanded the idea of the most prevalent lesions of the structure of posterior eye segment but also discovered absolutely new aspects of their pathology. The review emphasizes the spreading understanding of vitreous body, its age-related changes in the pathology of the posterior eye segment. Two main interrelated processes occurring in the vitreous body - synchysis and syneresis, gradually increasing with age, are considered. Synchysis process begins at the early age and by the age of 70 reaches 50% of the volume of the vitreous body in 70% of the population. Parallelly, syneresis provides strength and plasticity of the entire vitreous volume due to collagen involved in formation of fibrillar frame. An important role in maintaining a stable and viscoelastic structure of the vitreous body, belonging to hyaluronic acid, is discussed, the level of which remains relatively stable at any age due to its constant synthesis. The accumulated data on the structure of age-related and pathological biodegradation of the vitreous body demonstrates inevitable progression of this process leading to age-related posterior vitreous detachment, which is a detachment of the posterior cortical layers of the vitreous body from subjacent retina. Posterior detachment under the influence of age-related changes in the vitreous body has certain stages - from incomplete juxtafoveolar detachment to complete posterior vitreous detachment with clinical retinal changes corresponding to each stage (idiopathic macular holes, lamellar macular tears, macular fibrosis, vitreomacular traction syndrome, myopic foveoschisis). Complete posterior vitreous detachment usually does not cause anatomical retinal disorders and any clinical forms of its diseases, thus, it can be considered as a natural favorable outcome.
OFDM comparison with FFT and DWT processing for DVB-T2 wireless channels
Authors: Paz Penagos Hernan
Published: February 2019

Introduction: Recent studies on the FFT processing (Fast Fourier Transform) or DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) of the OFDM signal (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) have shown pros and cons for DVB-T2 (Digital Video Broadcasting-Second Generation Terrestrial) radio communications; however, the benefits of both types of processing have yet to be compared for the same scenario.
Objective: The objective of this research is to compare the response of the wireless channel with AWGN noise (Additive White Gaussian Noise Channel) and Rayleigh and Rician fading in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band.
Methodology: The transmission of DVB-T2 information with OFDM modulation and FFT and DWT processing was simulated in Matlab®, specifically in Simulink.
Results: The results of the study proved to be more efficient for DWT system than FFT system, due to the low rate of erroneous bits, spectral efficiency and reduction of the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR), for Eb / No relations greater than 10dB.
Conclusions: In this article, we present the designs of both systems and the results of the research experience; likewise, the practical applicability of these systems is discussed, and improvements are suggested for future work.

Justification of Measures to Reduce Greenhouse Gases Emissions by Transport and Adaptation of Transport Infrastructure Facilities to Climate Change in Permafrost Zones
Authors: Trofimenko Yu.V. , Yakubovich A.N.
Published: February 2019

The models, methods, as well as the results of the justification of measures to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions by the transport complex for the period up to 2030 to improve its environmental safety, as well as assessing the effectiveness of measures (the use of seasonal cooling devices (SOA) – heat stabilizers) are considered transport infrastructure facilities (TIFs) of road, rail, air and water transport when implementing different climate change scenarios in the areas of permafrost. For sections of roads and railways (in the embankment), runways of airfields in the territories examined in the next 30 years, high climatic risks that require the use of heat stabilizers are not forecasted. For these objects can be applied less costly protective measures. The pile foundation of bridges and other transportation facilities can be sufficiently effectively protected by heat stabilizers from the effects of climate change. In relation to the strip and raft foundations of port facilities, other production facilities in the territories examined, the use of the SOA is a very effective measure to reduce climate risks. An increase in the expected effectiveness of measures to adapt them in the case of transition from continuous permafrost to its island and rare island species has been established for all types of TIFs. The reduced efficiency of the use of heat stabilizers in soils of low humidity, especially in sandy soils for all types of TIFs, was recorded.

Este artículo analiza los factores económicos que inciden sobre el índice de eficiencia técnica relativa de los hospitales públicos del departamento de Nariño entre 2008 y 2014. En primera instancia, se calculan los índices de eficiencia técnica mediante data envelopment analysis (DEA), para evaluar el desempeño productivo de cada hospital. Los resultados indican que, en promedio, el 38,27 % de los hospitales funciona de manera eficiente desde el enfoque output orientado. En la segunda etapa, haciendo uso de modelos econométricos con datos de panel y efectos fijos, se evidencia que la demanda potencial, la cartera hospitalaria y la capacidad instalada explican las variaciones de las mediciones de eficiencia técnica obtenidas.
Acceso al crédito, innovación tecnológica e inserción externa de las empresas argentinas 2010 -2012
Authors: Peñaloza Pacheco Leonardo José
Published: February 2019

Con base en datos de la ENDEI (2010-2012), en este trabajo se analizan las restricciones al crédito que enfrentan las empresas argentinas del sector manufacturero para poder realizar actividades de innovación. Se estiman, empleando MCO, los diferenciales de inversión en innovación entre aquellas firmas que acceden a los créditos bancarios para financiar estas inversiones en comparación con aquellas que no lo hacen, y, luego de controlar por diferentes heterogeneidades de las empresas, se encuentra que aquellas firmas que acceden a los créditos invierten en promedio un 30,74 % más en innovación, siendo este diferencial más acentuado para las empresas de menor tamaño. A su vez, mediante un modelo lineal de probabilidad, se evalúa la relación entre el acceso al crédito y la capacidad de exportación de las empresas. Se obtiene evidencia que indicaría que acceder al crédito para innovar se vincula con una mayor probabilidad de exportar los productos, dado que, según la literatura, existiría una complementariedad entre las inversiones en innovación y la capacidad de exportar de las firmas.
La transición del pensamiento de Wittgenstein y la influencia de los economistas de Cambridge
Authors: Chaparro Germán Raúl
Published: February 2019

El artículo tiene por objeto revisar la posible influencia de John Maynard Keynes, Frank Ramsey, Piero Sraffa y, por intermedio de este último, Antonio Gramsci, sobre la transición del pensamiento filosófico de Ludwig Wittgenstein. El trabajo reconstruye, a partir de la literatura especializada, la relación del filósofo austriaco con los economistas que conoció en Cambridge y propone que estos pudieron haber permeado el quehacer filosófico de Wittgenstein y, en particular, la forma en que la perspectiva antropológica de los problemas filosóficos, posiblemente inspirada en Gramsci y transmitida por Sraffa, fue recibida y desarrollada por Wittgenstein en sus Investigaciones Filosóficas, en el desarrollo de conceptos como las formas de vida y los juegos del lenguaje. Se concluye que las teorías de Gramsci sobre la hegemonía y la alienación lingüística tienen cierta similitud con la propuesta de filosofía del lenguaje cotidiano de Wittgenstein.

Scientific approach to an absolute chronology through synchronisms dated by astronomy
Authors: GERTOUX Gerard
Published: February 2019

“Chronology is the backbone of history” is usually taught in schools but in the same time the first fall of Babylon is currently fixed today (2019) either in 1595 BCE “Middle Chronology” (sic) or in 1651, 1531 and 1499 BCE, depending on historians! Such a difference in timeline prevents one from reaching the historical truth. It is for this reason that from Herodotus, the father of history (in fact the father of scientific and chronological inquiry), Greek historians gradually established a system of scientific dating in order to write a universal history. Many astronomical phenomena observed and described by Babylonian astrologers enable anyone today (with at least an undergraduate level) to synchronize these ancient dating systems and anchor them on absolute dates. As incredible as it may seem this is still not done (among the hundreds of thousands of theses in history there is none which focuses on chronology, except the one of Isaac Newton in 1728 entitled: Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended). The Mesopotamian royal lists give a complete chronology of kings dating back to King Sargon of Akkad (2243-2187). In addition, the numerous synchronisms between the Assyrian and Babylonian reigns, as well as the presence during these reigns of several lunar eclipses precisely dated by astronomy, make it possible to reconstitute an absolute chronology that serves as the backbone to anchor all the chronologies of the ancient kingdoms of the Near and Middle East.

This work was aimed at analyzing the efficiency of the strengthening of reinforced concrete beams with the addition of steel bars and epoxy adhesive. Five beams were produced, out of which four beams were strengthened to flexure. In two of them, “U” clips were also used to improve the anchorage of the strengthening. The tests demonstrated that the clips reduced the resistances of the beams compared to those without clips. The strengthened beams without clips yielded better results, but the largest limiting factor was the adherence between the epoxy and beam. The use of clips for solving the problem of adherence made this research original. The conclusions were based on the comparisons of the tested beams.

Background: Mindfulness has been applied to improve cancer care by enhancing psychological well-being. However, little is known about its impact on cognitive impairment experienced by cancer patients after chemotherapy. Mindfulness may be relevant in tackling cognitive impairment by decreasing emotional distress and fatigue, by decreasing inflammation, and by strengthening functional brain connectivity. The aim of the present study protocol is to evaluate the efficacy and mechanisms of a mindfulness-based intervention to reduce cognitive impairment in breast cancer patients after chemotherapy.
Methods: The present study is a three-arm parallel-group randomized controlled trial with assessments at baseline, one to three weeks after the intervention and at three months follow-up. One hundred twenty breast cancer patients who ended treatment minimum 6 months and maximum 5 years before and who have cognitive complaints will be enrolled. They will be randomized into one of the following 3 study arms: (1) a mindfulness-based intervention group (n=40), (2) an active control condition based on physical training (n=40), or (3) a treatment as usual (TAU) control group (n=40). Both the mindfulness-based intervention and the active control condition exist of 4 group sessions (3 hours for the mindfulness condition and 2 hours for the physical training) spread over 8 weeks. The primary outcomes will be cognitive complaints as measured by the cognitive failure questionnaire and changes in functional brain connectivity in the attention network. Secondary outcomes will be (1) levels of emotional distress, fatigue, mindfulness, quality of life; (2) neurocognitive tests; (3) structural and functional brain changes using MR imaging, and (4) inflammation.
Discussion: The study will examine the impact of a mindfulness-based intervention on cognitive impairment in breast cancer patients. If the findings of this study confirm the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based program to reduce cognitive impairment, it will be possible to improve quality of life for ex-cancer patients. We will inform health care providers about the potential use of a mindfulness-based intervention as a non-pharmaceutical, low-threshold mental health intervention to improve cognitive impairment after cancer.

Published: February 2019

This article discusses about the use of DST as a way to introduce children to the concept of bullying cases among students. As a participatory action research, this research aims to educate students as young learners to aspect of bullying. The term of DST has been increasingly used by scholars to illustrate various forms of support of learning to help young learners learn successfully. Children in the DST creation process enjoyed the stages. It was revelaed that culturally bullying has already being the tradition in some places, children felt strange when they mentioned certain acts as bullying. Through the empowerment of DST project, children are started to be aware that if they do not want to be hurted, hence they mau not hurt any body else.

 

Tulisan ini mendiskusikan penggunaan DST (Digital Storytelling) sebagai cara untuk memperkenalkan kepada anak tentang kasus-kasus perundungan (bullying) antar siswa. Menggunakan mpdel participatory action research, kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meng-edukasi siswa sebagai pembelajar anak-anak tentang aspek-aspek perundungan. Istilah DST telah banyak digunakan oleh para akademisi untuk memberikan ilustrasi berbagai bentuk bantuan-bantuan belajar untuk siswa sehingga bisa berhasil dalam pembelajaran. Terungkap bahwa intimidasi budaya sudah menjadi tradisi di beberapa tempat, anak-anak merasa aneh ketika mereka menyebut tindakan tertentu sebagai intimidasi. Melalui pemberdayaan proyek DST, anak-anak mulai menyadari bahwa jika mereka tidak ingin dilukai, maka mereka tidak akan melukai orang lain.
REDUKSI NILAI-NILAI NON-TAUHID DALAM KONTRUKSI WAYANG KARAKTER BATARA GURU
Authors: Hidayatullah Ahmad
Published: February 2019

Javanesse traditional shadow puppet (wayang) if we look through the story we can see that it is adapted from Hinduism. It was taken from great epic story. The ara Ramayana  and  Mahabharata.  It  does  not  wonder  if  we  find  opposite  valuesbeetwen Hinduism and monotheism (tauhid). It was noted by Walisongo at that time. They tried to do some reduction to things that opposite monotheism. They adapted inti Tauhid values so that they can di their mission successfully. In many adapti on, we can take  a  look  into  the  construction  of  Batara  Guru‟s character.  By  using  description analysis,  this article to  dig to  know  how  deep  Walisongo  constructed Batara Guru‟s character to reduct values that opposite tauhid. As a result, the construction idea of Batara Guru -as a representation of Siva- does not hurt anybody. It is all caused by the wisdom and creativity of Walisongo in constructing the character of Batara Guru greatly and smartly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kesenian wayang dilihat dari segi cerita merupakan karya adoptif yang berasal dari ajaran Hindu, yakni dua epos besar Ramayana dan Mahabharata. Menjadi tidak mengherankan jika kemudian nilai Hinduisme yang bertentangan dengan nilai tauhid menjadi sesuatu yang begitu diperhatikan oleh Walisongo saat itu. Upaya reduksi terhadap nilai-nilai non-tauhid pada akhirnya dilakukan oleh Walisongo sebagai sebuah penyesuaian terhadap dakwah Islamiah yang mereka lakukan. Satu dari sekian banyak upaya itu terdapat dalam kontruksi penokohan Batara Guru. Menggunakan deskriptif analisis artikel ini mencoba menggali sejauh mana kontruksi terhadap karakter Batara Guru yang dilakukan dalam rangka mereduksi nilai-nilai non-tauhid. Alhasil kontruksi karakter yang  sejatinya  merupakan  representasi  dari  Dewa  Siwa  ini  dilakukan  dengan tanpa melukai siapa pun pada saat itu. Semua itu karena kebijaksanaan dan kreatifitas Walisongo dalam mengkontruksi karakter Batara Guru secara apik dan cerdas.

Biotechnological Applications of Protein Splicing
Authors: Sarmiento Corina , Camarero Julio A.
Published: February 2019

Protein splicing domains, also called inteins, have become a powerful biotechnological tool for applications involving molecular biology and protein engineering. Early applications of inteins focused on self-cleaving affinity tags, generation of recombinant polypeptide α-thioesters for the production of semisynthetic proteins and backbone cyclized polypeptides. The discovery of naturallyoccurring split-inteins has allowed the development of novel approaches for the selective modification of proteins both in vitro and in vivo. This review gives a general introduction to protein splicing with a focus on their role in expanding the applications of intein-based technologies in protein engineering and chemical biology.
