Capital structure decision to influence the value of the company to date is still the actual issues in financial management. That there was no influence of the capital structure decision of enterprise value or not there is a difference of companies use debt in the capital structure of the company not using debt. The use of debt would give tax subsidies to the company's benefits to the optimal point, but when the optimal point exceeds the menurunakn value of the company. But that in the use of funding sources the company sorts the smallest risk in that is starting from the capital itself (internal capital), the issuance of debt and equity capital Structure (external) is the sum of short-term debt balance of permanent, debt, preferred stock, and common stock. Every company analyzes a number of factors, and then set the targeted funding structure. This Target is always changing in accordance with the changing conditions, but at any time the company management there is shadow dibenak of targeted funds structure.Based on the calculation that the capital structure does not affect the value of the company. This is an indication that investors in Indonesia is not paying attention to the source of funding for the company but was more worried about how the use of such debt efficiently so as to increase the kemampulabaan of the company. Based on these findings, then companies can increase the use of debt in its capital structure.As long as the debt is able to provide larger benefits compared to costs arising from the use of debt.

Keamanan adalah hal yang sangat penting dalam proses komunikasi. Integritas data dan kerahasiaan menjadi hal mutlak yang harus dipenuhi. Salah satu cara mengamankan komunikasi adalah dengan Steganografi. Penelitian ini membahas tentang implementasi Steganografi pesan teks menggunakan LSB (Least Significant Bit) dengan menyisipkanya ke dalam ruang warna YCoCg yang sudah terdekomposisi dengan IWT (Integer Wavelet Transform). Berdasarkan hasil analisis didapat nilai rata-rata PSNR sebesar 57,51 DB yang berarti memiliki nilai kerusakan yang rendah atau secara kasat mata sangat sulit untuk membedakan citra kover dengan citra stego. Dalam hal ketahanan citra stego terhadap serangan sangat lemah dikarenakan penggunaan pesan teks yang tidak dapat mentoleransi perubahan sedikitpun. Namun kesamaan pesan hasil ekstraksi terhadap pesan yang disisipkan selalu identik bila tidak terjadi perubahan pada citra stego yang dapat merubah nilai dan posisi piksel.

Tetragonolobus palaestinus Bioss (Aljalaton) is one of the Jordanian medicinal plants that can be used to treat stomach pain and some infections. This study was done in order to establish optimal in vitro propagation method for T. palaestinus. Factors of in vitro shooting, rooting, and acclimatization of the in vitro Tetragonolobus palaestinus seedlings were studied using different growth regulators. For in vitro shooting, different cytokinins including benzylamino purine (BAP), kinetin, TDZ, and zeatin were used in increasing concentrations (0.0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.5, and 2.0 mg l-1). Using benzylamino purine (BAP produced a maximum of 2.0 shoots/explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.3 mg l-1. Moreover, the effect of different concentrations of IBA (indole-3-butyric acid), IAA (indole-3-acetic acid), andnaphthalene acetic acid (NAA) was evaluated for in vitro rooting. The highest number of roots (4.06 roots/explant) was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 0.3 mg l-1 IBA. All of the plants (100 %) were grown normally after the acclimatization process. Based on these results simple protocol of T. palaestinus in vitro culture was optimized for the first time which can be utilized to do more studies on cell culture and production of active secondary metabolites.
Ultraviolet disinfection of water in recirculating aquaculture system: a case study at sturgeon caviar fish farm
Authors: SEMENOV Anatolii , SEMENOVA Kateryna
Published: October 2022

In this report, we present a practical example of ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection in an aquaculture facility for sturgeon caviar production. Among the methods of water disinfection in recirculating aquaculture systems, the technical approaches using ozonation or ultraviolet radiation in combination with other methods are the most effective. However, improper use of ozonation can result in excessive ozone concentrations that can cause serious harm to fish and be harmful to the environment and personnel. Therefore, we describe an example of a reagent-free ultraviolet water disinfection system. Preliminary results show that filtration followed by ultraviolet irradiation inactivates microorganisms in fish tank water. Total microbial count, total coliform bacteria, and E. coli (CFU/m3) did not exceed the permissible values. The described UV system provides an irradiance of 180 W/m2. For a pool with a water volume of 300 m3, bacteriological purity of the water was achieved with 480 W of UV-light.

Little has been done to evaluate the molecular role of ZnO nanoparticles (ZNPs) in regulating biochemical processes and plant yield in response to salt-induced stress. In this study, the molecular response of salt-stressed soybean (‘Giza111’) was assessed under different concentrations of ZNPs (25, 50, 100, and 200 mg l-1) by measuring some osmolytes, yield parameters, and Na+ and K+ content. The impact of salinity on the mRNA expression levels of three key salt-tolerance related genes (GmCHX1, GmPAP3, and GmSALT3) using qRT-PCR was also determined. The high level of salinity (250 mM NaCl) led to a significant increase in Na+ content, total soluble proteins, and total soluble carbohydrates and significantly upregulated gene expression of GmCHX1, GmPAP3, and GmSALT3, while reducing K+ content, K+/Na+ ratio and all yield parameters compared to control plants. Soaking soybean seeds in various ZNP concentrations, on the other hand, increased K+ content and K+/Na+ ratio while decreasing Na+ content, total soluble proteins, and total soluble carbohydrates in stressed plants, particularly at 50 mg l-1 ZNPs. Furthermore, GmCHX1, GmPAP3, and GmSALT3 expressions were all downregulated at 50 mg l-1 ZNPs, which ultimately improved soybean yield parameters. Accordingly, these results recommend the application of 50 mg l-1 ZNPs for improving the productivity of soybean cultivated in saline soils.

Date palm root rot disease is one of the most important diseases of date palms and offshoots. It is caused by many soil-borne pathogenic fungi. Pathogenicity assays of the isolated fungi showed that the major causative agents of root rot disease in date palm plantlets were Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. emend. Snyder & Hansen, F. proliferatum (Matsush.) Nirenberg ex Gerlach & Nirenberg S1, F. proliferatum S2, Gibberella fujikuroi (Sawada) Wollenw., and Rhizoctonia solani J.G. Kühn. The most virulent fungus was F. oxysporum with a severity index of 82.16 % of root rot, while R. solani was the least harmful with a disease severity rate of 12.42 %. In laboratory tests, Bacillus subtilis reduced the radial mycelial growth of F. oxysporum on PDA medium by 86.6 %. The application of B. subtilis in combination with F. oxysporum substantially inhibited the severity of root rot disease relative to plantlets treated with only F. oxysporum. In addition, B. subtilis application in the presence or absence of F. oxysporum improved the plant physiology of plantlets, including total chlorophyll, total carotenoid, antioxidant enzyme levels (catalase and peroxidase), and total proline content.

Honey bees and beekeeping activity are of huge importance for the crop production and biodiversity conservation as well as for the economic impact due to ecosystem services. In the south of Algeria, the jujube blooming is an essential forage source for honey bees. The aim of this study was to determine the melissopalynological and sensory characteristics of Algerian jujube honey. Nineteen samples of jujube honey collected in south Algeria over the period from 2016 to 2018 were analyzed. The unifloral designation attributed to the honey was confirmed by a pollen analysis following the established standard methods. Sensory analysis is carried out testing the color, the odor and aromas. The results showed that Ziziphus lotus pollen was predominant in all samples, and in terms of sensory analysis, color ranged from amber yellow to light brown; the determined scent classes were warm, floral and woody with medium intensity; the aroma was represented by medium intensity with the warm caramelized, floral fruity and woody classes. Sweet flavor is perceived at medium intensity, acidic flavor is weak, astringent sensation is average and the piquant note is perceived with a low intensity. This work proves to be important for improving the knowledge in typical honeys.

Inflammatory lung diseases affect millions of people worldwide. These diseases are caused by a number of factors such as pneumonia, sepsis, trauma, and inhalation of toxins. Pulmonary function testing (PFT) is a valuable functional methodology for better understanding mechanisms of lung disease, measuring disease progression, clinical diagnosis, and evaluating therapeutic interventions. Animal models of inflammatory lung diseases are needed that accurately recapitulate disease manifestations observed in human patients and provide an accurate prediction of clinical outcomes using clinically relevant pulmonary disease parameters. In this study, we evaluated a ferret lung inflammation model that closely represents multiple clinical manifestations of acute lung inflammation and injury observed in human patients. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was nebulized into ferrets for 7 repeated daily doses. Repeated exposure to nebulized LPS resulted in a restrictive pulmonary injury characterized using Buxco forced maneuver PFT system custom developed for ferrets. This is the first study to report repeated forced maneuver PFT in ferrets, establishing lung function measurements pre‐ and post‐injury in live animals. Bronchoalveolar lavage and histological analysis confirmed that LPS exposure elicited pulmonary neutrophilic inflammation and structural damage to the alveoli. We believe this ferret model of lung inflammation, with clinically relevant disease manifestations and parameters for functional evaluation, is a useful pre‐clinical model for understanding human inflammatory lung disease and for the evaluation of potential therapies.
Extracellular stimulation of lung fibroblasts with arachidonic acid increases interleukin 11 expression through p38 and ERK signaling

Published: October 2022

Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates proliferation and motility of cancer cells. Fibroblasts reside in the cancer microenvironment and are the primary source of IL-11. Activated fibroblasts, including cancer-associated fibroblasts that produce IL-11, contribute to the development and progression of cancer, and induce fibrosis associated with cancer. Changes in fatty acid composition or its metabolites, and an increase in free fatty acids have been observed in cancer. The effect of deregulated fatty acids on the development and progression of cancer is not fully understood yet. In the present study, we investigated the effects of fatty acids on mRNA expression and secretion of IL-11 in lung fibroblasts. Among the eight fatty acids added exogenously, arachidonic acid (AA) increased mRNA expression and secretion of IL-11 in lung fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner. AA-induced upregulation of IL-11 was dependent on the activation of the p38 or ERK MAPK signaling pathways. Furthermore, prostaglandin E2, associated with elevated cyclooxygenase-2 expression, participated in the upregulation of IL-11 via its specific receptor in an autocrine/paracrine manner. These results suggest that AA may mediate IL-11 upregulation in lung fibroblasts in the cancer microenvironment, accompanied by unbalanced fatty acid composition.

Problematic Aspects of a Systems-Theoretical Approach to Fundamental Rights
Authors: Statunato Stefano
Published: October 2022

The article – using the example of scientific freedom – critically examines selected systems-theoretical assumptions and, in particular, Niklas Luhmann’s systems-theoretical understanding of fundamental rights, as essentially set out in his 1965 work. Specifically with regard to the field of fundamental rights, it is argued that the application of such perspectives entails considerable deficits: first, the systems-theoretical categorizations – namely “expansion tendencies” and “structural couplings” – are characterized as unconvincing, distorting, and simplistic. Secondly, it is criticized that the concept of “expansion tendencies” would de facto implicitly attribute responsibility for violations of fundamental rights to a system instead of to concrete individuals. Thirdly, a problem inherent in systems-theoretically guided interpretation is identified in connection with the conceivable scenario in which the interests of the system deviate from those of the concrete individuals.

Subject and Purpose. Designers of the research radars intended for detecting manifestations of biological activity of living organisms may be interested in the noise characteristics shown by their oscillators at offsets about 10–2 Hz or even 10–3Hz from the carrier frequency. Unfortunately, the producing companies do not practice regular information on noise performance of their products at frequencies below 1 Hz. The present authors have set the goal of deriving an analytical expression for the spectral density of flicker noise which should allow radar engineers estimating the probable noise performance of low-noise oscillators over any frequency range. Methods and Methodology. A great number of writers considering spectral properties of flicker noise tend to support the assertion that its spectral density increases continuously with a decrease in frequency, following the power law 1/f . Meanwhile, the present authors assume availability of a certain frequencyfmbelow which the spectral density should most likely remain unchanged, even to as low as zero frequency. Also, there is a range of frequencies above which the spectral density of flicker noise remains constant and the total spectral density is determined solely by thermal noise. Results.The spectral density of noise follows the power law 1/f throughout the range fromfm and up to the point where thermal noise starts to overbalance the flicker noise. The authors have proposed an approximating function to describe the behavior of the averaged spectral density of noise from the oscillator within the entire frequency range. Conclusions. The results obtained shall allow radio system designers to make estimates of the probable noise performance of low-noise oscillators in any frequency range, using only known reference data provided by the manufacturer.

Depressão pós-parto (DPP) é um transtorno que afeta a saúde da mulher e a qualidade da relação mãe-bebê. Este estudo comparou a DPP de mães de bebês sem e com fissuras labiais, palatinas e labiopalatinas, e identificou as variáveis preditoras da DPP considerando a amostra como um todo. Participaram 120 mães, sendo 60 de bebês com fissuras e 60 de bebês sem condição de risco. Para a coleta foram utilizados: protocolo de entrevista e Escala de Depressão Pós-Parto de Edimburgo (EDPE). Resultados apontaram maior incidência de DPP em mães de bebês sem fissura (30%) do que em mães de bebês com fissura (20%). Porém, não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os grupos. As variáveis que explicaram a ocorrência de DPP foram: menor escolaridade materna, menor número de filhos, ausência de fissura no bebê, maior idade do bebê, e menor condição socioeconômica.
A propósito de la «hermenéutica de la continuidad». Nota sobre la propuesta de B. Gherardini

Las indicaciones de Benedicto XVI respecto a la recepción del Vaticano II, basada en una hermenéutica de la reforma o de la renovación en la continuidad del único sujeto Iglesia, han inaugurado una nueva etapa de la discusión teológica. Tema central del debate es el significado y, sobre todo, el sujeto de dicha «continuidad». Una comprensión inadecuada, como la que ofrece Brunero Gherardini en su última publicación, conduce a una lectura del Vaticano II en clave de ruptura. En cambio, renocer que la Iglesia es un sujeto histórico en camino hacia la patria definitiva, abre un fecundo ámbito de investigación.
