Background : In Bangladesh about 67% of under-five mortality is neonatal mortality. One of three major causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality is septicemia. Recently there is increasing incidence of multidrug resistant neonatal organisms which is alarming.

Objective : The aim of this study was to see the bacteriological profile and drug sensitivity pattern of neonatal septicemia.

Methods : This prospective observational study was done in Dhaka Shishu (children) Hospital over one-year period from June 2018 to May 2019. The admitted neonates were suspected as neonatal septicemia considering the risk factors, clinical profile and investigations (CBC, CRP etc.). Blood from all suspected neonatal septicemia cases were sent for culture and drugs sensitivity along with others necessary investigations. Then data was analyzed with SPSS version-20.

Results : Among the suspected cases only 111(10%) patients were culture positive. Preterm were 77(69%) and term 34(31%). One hundred six cases (95%) had sepsis with gram negative organisms and 5(5%) had sepsis with gram positive organisms with more predominant of Klebsiella (76,68%) followed by Acinetobacter (16,14%), Pseudomonas (6,5%), Escherichia coli (3,3%). Majority 80 (72%) cases had Early onset neonatal sepsis (EONS). Klebsiella (57, 51%) was more common organism followed by Acinetobacter (11,10 %) causing EONS and in late onset neonatal sepsis (LONS), similar type of causative organism were found. Ampicillin, Gentamicin and Ceftazidime were mostly resistance to gram negative organisms - 104(94%), 99(89%) and 93(84%) respectively. Besides these, Amikacin (104,94%), Imipenem (85, 77%) and Ciprofloxacin (73, 66%) were more resistance. Klebsiella in 17 cases and Acinetobacter in 4 cases were resistant to all commonly used antibiotics.

Conclusion : Klebsiella followed by Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas are now common pathogens of neonatal septicemia found in this study. Ampicillin, Gentamicin and Ceftazidime are more resistant to most of the organisms causing neonatal sepsis. Imipenem is alarmingly resistant. In 19% cases, the organisms are resistance to all commonly used antibiotics.

Published: June 2022

Several cases from developing countries has been reported either on isolated vitamin C or isolated vitamin D deficiency in the recent past. Though nutritional vitamin C deficiency is rare but recently there is re-emergence of vitamin D deficiency found in developed countries. Combined deficiency of vitamin C and D found in the same patient is very rare both in developed and developing countries. Our patient was admitted in Ad Din Women’s Medical College Hospital, Dhaka with bronchiolitis. She had a history of cough and cold for 5 days. She had fever and respiratory difficulty for the last 2 days. On physical examination, she had low grade fever, fast breathing, chest in drawing. She had also widening of the wrist and ankle joints but her parents were unaware of these changes. They thought these could be a normal phenomenon. We suspect Rickets on physical examination findings. The baby was very much irritable and we thought that it was due to cough, cold and difficult breathing (bronchiolitis). Combined vitamin C and D deficiency was an incidental finding in this case. Her X ray of wrist joints, lower limb including knee and ankle joints showed the features of combined deficiency of vitamin C and D.

Resume. The problem of aesthetics in dental work (such as artistic restoration of teeth, orthopedic dentures, restoration of marginal periodontal tissues, teeth whitening and cosmetic modifications) remains relevant for domestic dentistry for a long time. Today it is standard practice to determine the criteria of aesthetics of dental work individually for every patient. Today, clinicians often ask the questions «How can you describe the features of the teeth of a young patient?», «Is it possible by performing aesthetic restoration using a special method to achieve the perception of the face as younger?». It has been found that teeth in young patients have a number of special features that can be used in the restoration of teeth, in some cases to create a younger perception of the patient's face. For example, the elongated shape of the teeth may play a role in contouring the face, changing the perception of its width. Nowadays, in addition to personal aesthetic perception of the results of work and harmony of the smile by the doctor, a number of mathematical proportions are used which reflect the anatomy and aesthetics of the smile and are an attempt to unify the preconditions for determining the artistic quality of dental treatment. Today, a number of works are known on the artistic restoration of teeth and modeling of artificial teeth which determine the parameters and proportions of the aesthetics of a smile, which include important elements of its design. Such proportions include the «golden ratio», «golden percentage», Preston’s ratio and RED-proportion – all of tham allow us to describe mathematically the aesthetics of the frontal area of the upper dentition in humans. Conclusions. The use of special approaches in the implementation of artistic restorations of teeth in young patients is an option to improve the protocol of restoration of dental crowns, which leads to a higher aesthetic and functional result of dental work. Key words: teeth, restoration, aesthetics, proportions, young age, signs.

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the physiological fluctuations in the seeds of okra seeds primed with the aqueous solutions of H2O2 and to find the suitable strength(s) of H2O2 as the priming material for their highest seedling quality. The experiment had eight treatments: T1 (control/no priming), T2 (hydro-priming in plain H2O) and other six aquatic solutions of H2O2: T3 (0.5%), T4 (1.0%), T5 (1.5%), T6 (2.0%), T7 (2.5%) and T8 (3.0%). The seeds were soaked for six hours in those seven media (T2 toT8). The seeds were dibbled in wooden seed flats filled-in with coarse sand. The experiment was laid-out in the RCBD with three replications. Data collected for the 13 traits were: % germination, % abnormal seedlings, shoot length, root length, seedling length, shoot dry matter, root dry matter, seedling dry matter, number of secondary roots (>1cm) per seedling, number of true leaves per seedling, relative growth rate, seedling vigor index, and root: shoot ratio (dry weight basis). Except the first two traits, the rest 11 were collected at three stages: 10, 20 and 30 days after dibbling (DAD). It was lucid that H2O2 was significantly (P≤0.05%) effective to improve most of the traits noted. But 1% concentration was utmost helpful for both okra and others were toxic and hindered the maximum parameters for all the three species. Nevertheless, further studies with different varieties of those three vegetables species with variable doses of H2O2, priming time and temperature could be explored before drawing valid conclusions.

Published: June 2022

Radio tranceiver merupakan alat komunikasi yang masih cukup efektif dan relevan untuk membantu tugas-tugas harian terutama bagi para personil atau instansi yang bekerja di lapangan, namun saling terpisah di area yang luas secara geografis atau posisi medannya. Kondisi ini biasanya diperlukan karena belum tersedianya jaringan infrastruktur komunikasi permanen yang memadai seperti telephone atau internet.  Pada transmisi komunikasi analog, permasalahannya adalah di bagian antenna tuner yang di tuning secara manual agar tetap match dan menjaga nilai SWR agar tetap stabil, karena setiap kali merubah frekuensi maka nilai SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) juga akan ikut berubah. Jika nilai SWR lebih dari 1.5 maka transceiver dapat mengalami overheating. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut maka perlu dirancang sistem matching antenna tuner otomatis yang di kombinasikan antara Arduino nano dengan Android. Hasilnya pada saat merubah ataupun mengganti frekuensi pada radio maka sistem tunner berbasis arduino nano akan bekerja untuk memastikan nilai SWR tetap menunjuk pada nilai terendah. Sehingga kerusakan pada transceiver dapat terhindari.

The Indonesian government has relied more on private fisheries investment than on government investments to achieve the targeted growth of fisheries sub sector. In line with this policy, the objective of this study is to analyze factors or government policies that having important impacts on private fisheries investment in the sub sector.  Two investment annual models were specified, investments for domestic and foreign investor.  Dummy variables were specified to represent government policies related to the sub sector and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) were used to estimate the models.  The results of the study showed that the government policies, such as PAKEM (devaluation, and increasing efficiency and competitiveness) and PAKMEI (tariff reduction, and investment and export procedure simplifications), have effective effect to investment in the sub sector. Moreover, investment have been affected by interest rate and shrimp price. However, their effects are considered small, indicated by less than one elasticity coefficient. This implies that government policies will still an important factor in determining growth in the sub sector.

Environmental pollution is inevitably caused by economic activities. However, the pollution can be controlled to obtain optimal pollution that provides maximum net benefit of the economic activities. Indentification of the polluters is needed when the optimal pollution is determined. Economic instruments can be used to insist the polluters to control their economic activities. Selection of economic instruments that will be applied will work properly if the value of environmental pollution is well known. In fact, the pollution is not marketable, and therefore, economic valuation of the pollution is required. Some techniques of valuation have been introduced, based on the types of pollution. Shortly speaking, economics can be applied in controlling pollution resulting from economic activities.

APLIKASI MODEL GARCH PADA DATA INFLASI BAHAN MAKANAN INDONESIA PERIODE 2005.1- 2010.6
Authors: Santoso Teguh , Basuki Maruto Umar
Published: June 2022

In econometric time series analysis, data which have high volatility would be very risky to be used as a basis for forecasting, including the volatility of food prices in Indonesia. Time series data have a tendency to have a constant confounding error variance over time. Appropriate econometric model to estimate such behavior is called the Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (ARCH) model and the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model. This paper attempts to use ARCH/GARCH models to explain the behavior of food price inflation in Indonesia in time period of 2005.1 to 2010.6. It is explained that by incorporating elements of ARCH/GARCH, better estimates will be achieved.

Stock market conditions in Indonesia since 1998 until 2008 is increasing with the 500 IDX Composite can be inflated into 2000s. This becomes interesting factor associated with macro-economic factors that affect the variabel CRR (Chen Roll and Ross). Researchers exam which we form portofiolio into 3 classes, large, medium, and large size companies from multiplying shares outstanding by its stock price. This research periodesasi long enough so that the portfolio is formed only by 15 issuers, this is caused by mergers or acquisitions from the issuer, the issuer is listed on the Stock Exchange from 1998-2008. However, with 11 years of data is very good for macro economic conditions in Indonesia. Independen variabels of this study consisted of changes in inflation expectations (DEIt), unexpected inflation (Uit), unexpected risk free rate (URFt), and the rate of economic growth (GMT) have a significant effect on portfolio return of capital market conditions are bullish for all forms of portfolio. Meanwhile, bearish market conditions only for the portfolio of small and large sizes only. Economic growth rate did not significantly affect the three portfolios in the bearish market conditions, this is because the movement of our stock in Indonesia is still largely influenced by foreign investors.

A Scalar Poincaré Map for Anti-phase Bursting in Coupled Inhibitory Neurons With Synaptic Depression
Authors: Olenik Mark , Houghton Conor
Published: June 2022

Short-term synaptic plasticity is found in many areas of the central nervous system. In the inhibitory half-center central pattern generators involved in locomotion, synaptic depression is believed to act as a burst termination mechanism, allowing networks to generate anti-phase bursting patterns of varying periods. To better understand burst generation in these central pattern generators, we study a minimal network of two neurons coupled through depressing synapses. Depending on the strength of the synaptic conductance between the two neurons, this network can produce symmetric n : n anti-phase bursts, where neurons fire n spikes in alternation, with the period of such solutions increasing with the strength of the synaptic conductance. Relying on the timescale disparity in the model, we reduce the eight-dimensional network equations to a fully-explicit scalar Poincaré burst map. This map tracks the state of synaptic depression from one burst to the next and captures the complex bursting dynamics of the network. Fixed points of this map are associated with stable burst solutions of the full network model, and are created through fold bifurcations of maps. We derive conditions that predict the bifurcations between n : n and (n + 1) : (n + 1) solutions, producing a full bifurcation diagram of the burst cycle period. Predictions of the Poincaré map fit excellently with numerical simulations of the full network model and allow the study of parameter sensitivity for rhythm generation.
