Authors: Rozhkov V. A. , Rozhkova S. V. , Kravets P. V. , Konyushkov D. E.
Published: April 2019

INFOSOIL is a new information-reference system aimed at elaborating purposeful classifications of soils by using a definite set of soil features. The stages and procedures of this system permit to determine the maximum number of objects taking into complete account their most informative features, the method and quality of objects grouping into classes as well as to recognize newly presented soils to be classified. This system should be named as a generator or engine of soil classifications developed for different purposes; it is based on the concept of enumeration classification, thus connecting a totality of soil features to meet requirements of the soil classification. The amount of features (classifier positions) determines the maximum number of objects and brings them in correspondence. It is shown how is realized the suggested approach in practice; the position of soils in the classification system is indicated. In this paper the first INFOSOIL version (www.infosoil) is presented to show the development of its real possibilities and accessibility for users and classification authors. In the system the interfaces are envisaged with the soil-geographical database, the State register of soil resources and the Soil map, 1: 2.5 M scale. In essence the system contains the soil classification system widely adopted now (2004), the automated guide to determine the soils (2008) and creates all the conditions for its further development. INFOSOIL has being elaborated as an intellectual information system that includes the MERON system, algorithm means to create new enumeration classifications as well as to use and study the available classifications.

Published: April 2019

Under discussion are the results of systematization and comprehensive analysis of different literature sources containing the information on degradation and dangerous natural processes at the Asian territory of the Russian Federation. The degradation and adverse natural processes are divided into 3 groups according to their hazard extent: (a) processes oriented to destroy the soils and lands, (b) processes changing the soil cover pattern and leading to degradation of soils and decreasing their fertility; (c) processes deteriorating the land productivity. The assessment is given to show the distribution and dangerous occurrence of degradation and adverse natural processes in the Asian part of Russia (gully erosion, destruction of seashores and banks of water bodies, changes in river channels and floodplains, underground flood, heavy rainfall, flooding). The distribution and dangerous manifestation of adverse processes are highly varying at the studied territory in dependence on peculiar natural-climatic conditions. The paper presents the plans to continue such studies at the territory of European Russia in 1916 and their further development at the total country’s territory within the framework of the project “Transformation, evolution and degradation of soils due to agrogenesis and global climate changes”. The solution of the problem envisaged by this project is of primary importance in order to solve the social-economic tasks and objectives facing the country as well as to strengthen the Institute’s position as a leading centre in the given field of soil science.

Authors: Muromtsev N. A. , Anisimov K. B. , Semenov N. A. , Gribov V. V.
Published: April 2019

The dynamics of the soil water potential and soil temperature at different depths during the year was studied. As the object of the investigation we took soddy-podzolic clay loamy weakly gleyed soils of Zelenogradskiy base of Soil Science Institute. The data of soil water and temperature were derived from the automated meteorologic station “VantagePro2”. In conditions of the sustainable state of the other components of the environment, we discovered sharp spasmodic increase of the soil water potential at the passing of temperature values to the range below zero, i.e., in conditions of the phase overpass of the soil solution. All of the types of soil water potential changes (slow and rapid, significant and insignificant) occur due to the changes (decrease or increase) of the water content and soil temperature. For the first time in our country the thermohydrophysical phenomenon of (thermodynamic process) of sharp (at 5-6 times) and rapid (practically immediate) increase of the water potential after the overpass of the temperature over zero from the area of positive values to the negative values is discovered and described. The knowledge of specificities of the dynamics of soil water potential due to the temperature will allow us to plan the terms and norms of watering.

Translating is a language skill in transfering meanings or messages from              a source language (SL) to a target language (TL) by considering  lingustic aspects and the culture of its speakers. In translation activity, the transfered messages should not be different from those of the source language, thus the speakers of the target language are able to understand the meanings or massages received. The importance of translating Indonesian text into Arabic language involves providing information about Indonesian cultures such a way that people will be well informed of Indonesia in general. The subject of this study is the students majoring in Arabic language and literature, particularry those who are taking translation course. The problem of the study is concerned with translation applied by the students in translating Indonesian writtten texts  Arabic language. The second problem of the study dealt with finding errors made by the students in translating the texts. The kind of this study is a field research.

El gasto público en México y su postura fiscal procíclica (1980-2016)
Authors: Ramírez Cedillo Eduardo , López-Herrera Francisco
Published: April 2019

Antecedentes: en la literatura sobre teoría y política fiscal se ha mostrado evidencia respecto de la postura procíclica del gasto público en relación con el ciclo económico en los países en desarrollo y, particularmente, en las economías latinoamericanas. El presente trabajo se ocupa del estudio de la relación del gasto presupuestal y el ciclo económico en México para el periodo de 1980 a 2016; se busca esclarecer si el viraje de la política fiscal puede caracterizarse como una tendencia hacia una postura anticíclica.Metodología: para analizar las series trimestrales ajustadas estacionalmente del gasto presupuestal y el PIB (a precios constantes de 2008), sus componentes cíclicos se estimaron mediante el filtro de Hodrick-Prescott. Para explicar el ciclo de gasto por medio del ciclo del producto se estimó una regresión con cambios markovianos de régimen, en la cual las probabilidades del estado varían según la volatilidad del producto. Posteriormente, se estimaron las volatilidades variantes en el tiempo de ambas series, así como sus correlaciones condicionales dinámicas y estas últimas se analizaron en función del ciclo económico.Resultados: la evidencia es congruente con una política de gasto que ha sido tanto procíclica como contracíclica en diferentes momentos del periodo de estudio, tal como lo ha mostrado la literatura previa, pero en los últimos años se observa una disminución notable del énfasis de la prociclidad del gasto público presupuestal, lo que sugiere incluso que la política fiscal se ha vuelto acíclica.Conclusiones: a menos que los creadores de política actúen en otra dirección, cabe esperar que la política fiscal siga siendo acíclica y, por tanto, el gasto presupuestal seguirá sin incidir de manera importante en el manejo del ciclo de la economía mexicana.

Predaceous Diving Beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) May Affect the Success of Amphibian Conservation Efforts
Authors: Valdez Jose
Published: April 2019

The role of invertebrate predation in shaping vertebrate communities is often underestimated or overlooked, which has resulted in the lack of their recognition in conservation planning. This is evident with predaceous diving beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) which are often the top predator in many aquatic freshwater habitats. During weekly monitoring of a compensatory habitat reintroduction for an endangered frog species, a group of a dozen adult diving beetles were encountered attacking and quickly dismembering and consuming a tadpole. A single adult diving beetle was also discovered burrowing its head deep inside and consuming a tadpole approximately three to four times its size. Although Dytiscidae are known to occasionally consume vertebrates such as tadpoles, adults are typically considered scavengers, and this communal predatory behavior and feeding method have not been previously documented. Besides these interesting novel behaviors, these observations may have implications for amphibian conservation since management efforts are not typically concerned with naturally occurring ubiquitous threats such as those from small invertebrate predators, as it is rarely been observed in nature. However, this may be perhaps due to their ability to consume prey rapidly, especially if predating in groups. Although amphibian conservation plans expect some losses from natural predation, diving beetles may affect conservation efforts such as captive breeding and reintroductions with populations already on the threshold of extinction and where every individual critical to success.
The Effect of the Brane-Dicke Coupling Parameter on Weak Gravitational Lensing by  Wormholes and Naked Singularities
Authors: Javed Wajiha , Babar Rimsha , Övgün Ali
Published: April 2019

In this paper, we analyze the deflection angle of light by Brane-Dicke wormhole in the weak field limit approximation to find the effect of the Brane-Dicke coupling parameter on the weak gravitation lensing. For this purpose, we consider new geometric techniques, i.e., Gauss-Bonnet theorem and optical geometry in order to calculate the deflection angle. Furthermore, we verify our results by considering the most familiar geodesic technique. Moreover, we establish the quantum corrected metric of Brane-Dicke wormhole by replacing the classical geodesic with Bohmian trajectories, whose matter source and anisotropic pressure are influenced by Bohmian quantum effects and calculate its quantum corrected deflection angle. Then, we calculate the deflection angle by naked singularities and compare with the result of wormhole's. Such a novel lensing feature might serve as a way to detect wormholes, naked singularities and also the evidence of Brane-Dicke theory.
Dendritic Cell-Mediated Th2 Immunity and Immune Disorders
Authors: Kumar Sunil , Ashraf Muhammad Umer , Jeong Yideul , Bae Yong-Soo
Published: April 2019

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the professional antigen-presenting cells that recognize and present antigens to naïve T cells to induce antigen-specific adaptive immunity. Among the T-cell subsets, T helper type 2 (Th2) cells produce the humoral immune responses required for protection against helminthic disease by activating B cells. DCs induce a Th2 immune response at a certain immune environment. Basophil, eosinophil, mast cells, and type 2 innate lymphoid cells also induce Th2 immunity. However, in the case of DCs, controversy remains regarding which subsets of DCs induce Th2 immunity, which genes in DCs are directly or indirectly involved in inducing Th2 immunity, and the detailed mechanisms underlying induction, regulation, or maintenance of the DC-mediated Th2 immunity against allergic environments and parasite infection. A recent study has shown that a genetic defect in DCs causes an enhanced Th2 immunity leading to a severe atopic dermatitis. We summarize the Th2 immune-inducing DC subsets, the genetic and environmental factors which involved in DC-mediated Th2 immunity, and current therapeutic approaches for Th2-mediated immune disorders. This review is to provide an improved understanding of DC-mediated Th2 immunity and Th1/Th2 immune balancing, leading to control over their adverse consequences.

Published: April 2019

We report the development of an extrinsic self-healing coating system that shows no fluorescence from the intact coating, yellowish fluorescence in cracked regions, and greenish fluorescence in healed regions, thus allowing the separate monitoring of cracking and healing of coatings. This fluorescence monitoring self-healing system consisted of a top coating, an epoxy matrix resin containing mixed dye-loaded in single microcapsule. The dye-loaded microcapsules consisted of a poly(urea-formaldehyde) shell encapsulating a healing agent containing MAT-PDMS and styrene, a photo-initiator and a mixture of two dyes, one that fluoresces only in the solid state (DCM) and a second that fluoresces dramatically increased in the solid than solution state (4-TPAE). A mixture of the healing agent, photo-initiator and the two dyes was yellow due to fluorescence from DCM. On UV curing of this mixture, however, the color changed from yellow to green and the fluorescence intensity increased due to fluorescence from 4-TPAE in the solid state. When a self-healing coating embedded with microcapsules containing the DCM/4-TPAE dye mixture was scratched, the damaged region exhibited a yellowish color that changed to green after healing. Thus, the self-healing system reported here allows the separate monitoring of cracking and healing based on changes in fluorescence color.
Experimental study on the effect of hydraulic radius of stack on the performance of thermoacoustic prime mover with open resonator
Authors: Adhitama Yoga Nur , Cahyadi Danang D , Setiawan Ikhsan , Utomo Agung B. S.
Published: April 2019

Thermoacoustic prime mover is a device which converts thermal energy into acoustic work. The device mainly consists of a resonator pipe, a stack (a porous medium), and two heat exchangers. Four stacks were made of a pile of stainless wire-mesh screens with various mesh numbers of #12, #14, #16, and #18, providing the effective hydraulic radius of 0.32 mm, 0.28 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.23 mm, respectively. Each stack has 4 cm length. By using the wire-mesh screens, it is easier to vary the hydraulic radius of stack than any other material. The stack is sandwiched between a hot heat exchanger and an ambient heat exchanger. The resonator is made of a stainless-steel pipe with one end open and the other closed. The stack and heat exchangers are placed inside a resonator pipe near the closed end. The thermal energy were provided by using an electric heater which is installed at the hot heat exchanger. Ambient water was flowing through the ambient heat exchanger. Sound is produced by the stack when the temperature difference between the both ends of stack reachs an onset point. This experiments were performed by recording the temperatures at both ends of stack and the pressure amplitudes of the sound at several points along the resonator for various hydraulic radius of stack. It is found that the effective hydraulic radius of 0.28 mm gives the lowest onset temperature, the shortest time to reach onset condition, and the highest pressure amplitude which are 314°C, 299 s, and 2.89 kPa, respectively. The frequency of sound is not altered by the change of hydraulic radius of stack.

Abstract:  The National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) as of July 18 2017 released data that from 166 locations studied, there were 35 locations that had good wind potential with wind speeds above 5 meters per second at a height of 50 meters. Regions that have good wind speeds, one of which is West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). West Nusa Tenggara is an area that is crossed by monsunal wind patterns and is an island surrounded by beaches so that the West Nusa Tenggara region receives high winds. This can potentially be installed by wind turbines to be able to convert wind energy into electricity. Wind direction and speed data obtained from satellites are processed into average data then adjusted to the wind speed threshold that can rotate wind turbines. The results obtained are mapped using the GrADS application to determine the potential area for horizontal axis type wind turbine installation at a height of 10 meters based on monsunal pattern direction and wind speed. This study will provide recommendations on potential areas of wind energy and predictions of electrical power that will be generated from the use of these maps. The results of the study show that the West Nusa Tenggara region by utilizing wind energy can create electricity in a year totaling 14067.4026 kWh.

Published: April 2019

Advanced glycation end products (AGE) are amalgamated in the development of certain pathophysiologies including diabetic retinopathy (DR). Procyanidin-B2 (PCB2), an active principle of cinnamon, has shown to inhibit AGE formation. In current study we inspected the protective role of PCB2 to prevent DR in diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced in Wistar-NIN rats by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg bodyweight) and the control rats received vehicle alone. The retinal morphology was studied by microscopy and immunohistochemistry of diabetic and control rats. The expression of retinal selective genes analysis was done via real-time PCR. Immunoblotting of diabetic and control rat retina was studied. Gene expression and immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence analysis of diabetic retina from PCB2 and cinnamon fed rat showed declined expression of VEGF and GFAP and increased expression of NGF. Immunoblotting analysis resulted that feeding of PCB2 significantly reserved the formation of carboxy methyl lysine and RAGE in diabetic rats compare with controls. The results indicate that PCB2 was effective in protecting the diabetic retina from development of diabetic retinopathy in rats owing to its antiglycating potential. Thus, active principle of dietary sources, such as PCB2, may be explored for the prevention or delay of DR.

Published: April 2019

Early identification of cognitive failure and its association with nutritional status might aid in the planning of appropriate prevention strategies. The present study was planned to find out the association between the age, gender, body composition and dietary nutrient consumption of adult males and females residing in the city of Mumbai, with their cognitive ability. Four hundred apparently healthy adults (20-60 years) residing in the city of Mumbai were purposively selected for the survey. Cognitive ability of participants was assessed using Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) tool. Anthropometric and body composition parameters were analysed using standard procedures. Information on the dietary nutrient intake was collected using 3 day dietary recall method. Data was statistically analysed using the IBM SPSS (Version 22) software and Microsoft excel 2007 for windows. MCI was found in 21.5% of the participants. High prevalence of general and abdominal obesity was also observed in the participants. Data on the dietary nutrient intake showed that young adults (20-40 years) with high dietary fat especially SFA and MUFA consumption were found to be at a lower risk of developing MCI. Their anthropometric parameters i.e. Body Mass Index positively correlated with cognitive scores (p<0.05) whereas in older adults (40-60 years), body fat showed negative association (p<0.05) where as height, muscle mass and bone mass showed positive association with their cognitive scores (p<0.01). Thus, results of the study suggested that early detection of cognitive impairment would facilitate prevention of further neurodegeneration. Hence, identifying and preventing risk factors of cognitive impairment such as obesity and encouraging consumption of neuroprotective foods would help in the prevention of cognitive impairment.

ABSTRACT

                    This study aims to determine the effect of the use of emping melinjo flour (Gnetum gnemon) in a feed to pH, moisture content, and shrinkage of chicken meat. In an experiment with a completely randomized design of 4 treatments, 4 replications, one experimental unit consisting of 5 randomly divided chicken chickens. The four replications were consistent with four treatments from the study, each containing P0, P1, P2, and P3 were 0% (control), 5%, 10%, and 15%. Melinjo emping flour (Gnetum gnemon) is as an additional feed obtained from the market. The research variables were: pH, Water content, and Chicken Meat Meat Consumption. The results showed that the level of using melting chips (Gnetum gnemon) did not give effect to meat pH (P> 0,05) while in water content and shrinkage Chicken meat showed a very significant difference of influence (P <0.01). The mean pH value at treatment P0, P1, P2, and P3, was 5.9; 5.9; 6.0 and 5.9. The average value of water content in the treatment of P0, P1, P2, and P3 was 79.30; 84.90; 83.30, and 83.40. The mean value of shrinkage of chicken meat in treatment P0, P1, P2, and P3 was 2.7; 4.2; 4.7 and 4.7. It was concluded that the addition of emping melinjo starch (Gnetum gnemon) had an effect on water content and shrinkage of chicken meat. However, the use of emping melinjo flour (Gnetum gnemon) is not significant at the pH of chicken meat.

Particularly in the field of biometric security using human face has been widely implemented in the real world. Currently the human face is one of the guidelines in the security system. Nowadays the challenge is how to detect data falsification; such an attack is called spoofing. Spoofing occurs when someone is trying to pretend to be someone else by falsifying the original data and then that person may gain illegal access and benefit him. For example one can falsify the face recognition system using photographs, video, masks or 3D models. In this paper image spoofing human face detection using texture analysis on input image is proposed. Texture analysis used in this paper is the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Local Binary Pattern Variance (LBPV). To classified input as original or spoof K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) used. Experiment used 5761 spoofs and 3362 original from NUAA Imposter dataset. The experimental result yielded a best success rate of 87.22% in term of accuracy with configuration of the system using LBPV and histogram equalization with ratio 𝑅 = 7 and 𝑃 = 8.
Increasing Feature Selection Accuracy through Recursive Method in Intrusion Detection System

Artificial intelligence semi supervised-based network intrusion detection system detects and identifies various types of attacks on network data using several steps, such as: data preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. In this detection, the feature extraction is used for identifying features of attacks from the data; meanwhile the classification is applied for determining the type of attacks. Increasing the network data directly causes slow response time and low accuracy of the IDS. This research studies the implementation of wrapped-based and several classification algorithms to shorten the time of detection and increase accuracy. The wrapper is expected to select the best features of attacks in order to shorten the detection time while increasing the accuracy of detection. In line with this goal, this research also studies the effect of parameters used in the classification algorithms of the IDS. The experiment results show that wrapper is 81.275%. The result is higher than the method without wrapping which is 46.027%.

Background
Tube size selection is critical in ventilating patients` lungs using double-lumen endobronchial tubes (DLTs). Little information about relevant parameters is readily available from manufacturers. The aim of this study is to provide reference data for relevant dimensions of conventionally available DLTs.
Methods
In this study in a benchmark in-vitro setup, several dimensional parameters of four sizes of left-sided double-lumen endobronchial tubes from six different manufacturers were assessed, such as distances and diameters of tube shaft, cuff lengths and diameters as well the angle at the tip.
Results
Endobronchial tubes of ostensibly the same size revealed wide variation in measured parameters between brands from different manufacturers. In some parameters, there was an overlap between different sizes from the same manufacturer, i.e. diameters and distances did not increase with increasing nominal endobronchial tube size. The information about dimensions of endobronchial tubes provided by manufacturers’ leaflets is insufficient.
Conclusions
Endobronchial tube size selection carries unnecessary uncertainty because clinically relevant parameters are unknown and vary considerably between different manufacturers.
