Serangga Pengunjung Bunga Yang Berpotensi Sebagai Vektor Penyakit Darah Pada Tanaman Pisang Di Kabupaten Sigli, Banda Aceh
Authors: Sahetapy Betty , Maryana Nina , Manuwoto Syafrida , Mutaqin Kikin H.
Published: May 2020

Penyakit darah disebabkan oleh blood disease bacterium (BDB). Bakteri diduga dapat ditularkan melalui bibit yang terinfeksi, alat pertanian, tanah yang terbawa air, kontak akar dan serangga pengunjung bunga pisang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui serangga pengunjung bunga yang berpotensi sebagai vektor dalam penyebaran penyakit darah pada tanaman pisang. Penelitian diawali dengan pengumpulan sampel serangga di Kecamatan Padang Tiji, Kabupaten Sigli, Propinsi Banda Aceh. Lokasi ini merupakan area endemik penyakit darah pisang. Identifikasi serangga dilakukan di Laboratorium Biosistematika Serangga, sedangkan isolasi dan identifikasi BDB dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Bakteriologi Tumbuhan, Departemen Proteksi Tanaman, Fakultas Pertanian, Institut Pertanian Bogor. Bakteri yang diisolasi dikonfirmasi dengan uji Gram, hipersensitif dan patogenisitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa serangga yang ditemukan di area pertanaman pisang Desa Capah Paloh 1, Capah Paloh 2, Simpang Betung 1, Simpang Betung 2 dan Pante Cermin adalah tergolong dalam ordo Diptera dan Hymenoptera. Drosophilidae (Diptera) ditemukan lebih dominan di antara serangga-serangga tersebut.  BDB berhasil diisolasi dari seluruh tubuh serangga ordo Diptera (Drosophilidae, Tephritidae dan Muscidae) sehingga membuktikan bahwa serangga-serangga ini berpotensi sebagai vektor BDB.

Authors: Widiantini Fitri , Yulia Endah , Kurniawan Agung
Published: May 2020

Penggunaan fungisida dalam mengendalikan penyakit pada tanaman telah banyak dilaporkan menimbulkan dampak negatif terutama terhadap lingkungan. Oleh karena itu diperlukan alternatif pengendalian lain yang lebih ramah lingkungan. Bakteri endofit telah banyak dimanfaatkan sebagai agens biokontrol pada berbagai penyakit tanaman karena  dikenal sebagai sumber penghasil senyawa-senyawa yang bersifat antifungal. Laboratorium Bioteknologi Proteksi Tanaman Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Padjadjaran memiliki koleksi beberapa bakteri endofit hasil isolasi asal tanaman padi yang masih dalam tahap pengujian. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui potensi antijamur dari senyawa volatil yang dihasilkan oleh bakteri endofit dalam menekan pertumbuhan jamur Rhizoctonia oryzae penyebab penyakit bercak pelepah daun dan jamur Cercospora oryzae penyebab penyakit bercak daun secara in vitro. Percobaan dilakukan dengan metode dual culture dengan menggabungkan dua cawan dimana isolat bakteri endofit dan jamur patogen ditumbuhkan secara terpisah. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa isolat bakteri endofit Os1 dan Os2 memiliki kemampuan terbaik dalam menghambat patogen R. oryzae dengan persentase penghambatan pertumbuhan  masing-masing sebesar 68,7% dan 65,4%. Sedangkan isolat bakteri endofit Os3 adalah isolat bakteri endofit yang mempunyai kemampuan terbaik dalam menghambat perkembangan patogen C. oryzae dengan persentase penghambatan sebesar 87,1%. Pengamatan mikroskopis memperlihatkan bahwa senyawa volatil yang dikeluarkan oleh isolat-isolat bakteri endofit tersebut dapat menyebabkan terjadinya malformasi pada miselia jamur R. oryzae dan C. oryzae.
Arquitetura e consumo no Pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial: os paralelos Brasil-EU | Architecture and consumption in the post World War II: Brazil-US paralles
Authors: Janjulio Maristela Da Silva
Published: May 2020

Nos anos 1950, na cidade de São Paulo e em outros grandes centros brasileiros, a arquitetura moderna conquista sua hegemonia e chega à classe média. Na revista “Casa e Jardim”, naquela mesma década, constitui-se uma arquitetura — voltada a essa camada —, com linguagem moderna a que nomeamos “bem viver”. O contexto em que surge o “bem viver” é o da modernização brasileira, nos anos da década de 1950, particularmente na metrópole paulistana, com transformações econômicas, sociais, políticas e culturais e o da ampliação da influência econômica, política e ideológica dos EUA. O modo de vida americano é visto como modelo. O “bem viver” também reflete esse aspecto, apresentando paralelos com a arquitetura do Good-Life Modernism, que se desenvolve ao final da Segunda Guerra, nos Estados Unidos, igualmente voltada à classe média. Ambas, Good-Life Modernism e “bem viver”, estão profundamente imbricadas com a questão do consumo e constituem cenário para uma vida confortável, moderna e prazerosa. Existem, ainda, similaridades entre as linguagens utilizadas nessas duas arquiteturas. O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar algumas analogias e as prováveis divergências entre ambas, Good-Life Modernism e “bem viver”, a respeito das questões do consumo e da linguagem utilizada. Esta pesquisa envolveu a revista “Casa e Jardim” da década de 1950, além de revistas americanas — algumas técnicas e outras voltadas ao público leigo.

OBJECTIVE

To characterize clinical, clinicopathologic, and hepatic histopathologic features and outcome for dogs with probable ketoconazole-induced liver injury.

ANIMALS

15 dogs with suspected ketoconazole-induced liver injury that underwent liver biopsy.

PROCEDURES

Medical record data were summarized regarding signalment, clinical signs, clinicopathologic and hepatic histopathologic findings, concurrent medications, ketoconazole dose, treatment duration, and outcome.

RESULTS

Median age and body weight were 8.2 years (range, 5 to 15 years) and 13.0 kg (28.6 lb; range, 8.2 to 38.0 kg [18.0 to 83.6 lb]), respectively. The most common breed was Cocker Spaniel (n = 5). All dogs received ketoconazole to treat cutaneous Malassezia infections. Median daily ketoconazole dose was 7.8 mg/kg (3.5 mg/lb; range, 4.4 to 26.0 mg/kg [2.0 to 11.8 mg/lb]), PO. Treatment duration ranged from 0.3 to 100 cumulative weeks (intermittent cyclic administration in some dogs); 6 dogs were treated for ≤ 10 days. Common clinical signs included lethargy, anorexia, and vomiting. All dogs developed high serum liver enzyme activities. Hepatic histopathologic findings included variable lobular injury, mixed inflammatory infiltrates, and conspicuous aggregates of ceroid-lipofuscin–engorged macrophages that marked regions of parenchymal damage. Five dogs developed chronic hepatitis, including 3 with pyogranulomatous inflammation. Of the 10 dogs reported to have died at last follow-up, survival time after illness onset ranged from 0.5 to 165 weeks, with 7 dogs dying of liver-related causes.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Findings for dogs with hepatotoxicosis circumstantially associated with ketoconazole treatment suggested proactive monitoring of serum liver enzyme activities is advisable before and sequentially after initiation of such treatment.
Emergency tracheotomy and subsequent tracheal resection and anastomosis in a blue crane (Anthropoides paradiseus)
Authors: Yaw Taylor J. , Doss Grayson A. , Colopy Sara A. , Kincaid Anne L. , Hartup Barry K.
Published: May 2020

CASE DESCRIPTION

A 7-year-old female blue crane (Anthropoides paradiseus) was initially evaluated after it had suddenly developed signs of respiratory distress following aspiration of a rock. Emergency tracheotomy had been performed, and the rock had been removed from the proximal cervical portion of the trachea. Fifty-one days later, the clinical signs had returned and the crane was reevaluated.

CLINICAL FINDINGS

On reevaluation, no obvious external abnormalities were appreciated at the previous surgical site and no discharge was observed from the glottis. Computed tomography and tracheoscopy revealed marked tracheal stenosis and architectural collapse of the trachea at the previous surgery site.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME

Tracheal resection and anastomosis was performed to remove the stenotic tracheal segment. Histologic examination of the resected tracheal segment revealed pyogranulomas with intralesional coccobacilli, fungal hyphae consistent with Aspergillus spp, possible parasitic ova, and features suggestive of mild to moderate heterophilic and lymphoplasmacytic tracheitis. The crane was treated with piroxicam, ceftiofur crystalline free acid, terbinafine, and itraconazole. At a follow-up examination 12 weeks later, no abnormalities were appreciated, and the surgical site had completely healed.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first reported case of successful tracheal resection and anastomosis in a bird of the order Gruiformes. The surgical approach used for the blue crane may be useful for removal of tracheal foreign bodies in this and other long-necked avian species.

Authors: Coe Jason B. , O'Connor Rachel , Pizzolon Christina N. , Hester Kimberly A. , Nogueira Borden Leandra J. , Haley Derek
Published: May 2020

OBJECTIVE

To examine companion animal owners’ perceptions of appropriate veterinarian attire and investigate potential associations between a veterinarian's attire and clients’ ratings of trust in, confidence in, and comfort with a veterinarian.

SAMPLE

449 pet owners.

PROCEDURES

Participants were randomly assigned to complete a questionnaire containing photos of a male or female model veterinarian photographed in 8 attire types (formal attire, white dress shirt with black pants, white casual shirt with khaki pants, surgical scrubs, white casual shirt with jeans, surgical scrub top with jeans, surgical scrub top with khaki pants, and white laboratory coat with khaki pants). Participants were asked to rate their trust in, confidence in, and comfort with the pictured individual on a response scale of 1 (low) to 7 (high), rank photos according to their preferences for attire, and provide input on the importance of attire and other appearance-related subjects. Attire and gender of photographed individual and participant demographics were investigated for associations with trust, confidence, and comfort scores.

RESULTS

Most (317/445 [71%]) respondents indicated veterinarians’ attire was important. Attire type was significantly associated with respondents’ trust, confidence, and comfort scores. Model veterinarian gender and participant education level were also associated with trust and comfort scores.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Veterinarians’ attire is a form of nonverbal communication that is likely to inform clients’ first impressions and may influence clients’ trust in, confidence in, and comfort with a veterinarian. Veterinary personnel and veterinary management should consider how attire and general appearance represent staff members or their practice.

Abstrak. Tulisan ini dilatarbelakangi oleh pemikiran, bahwa Bogor merupakan sebuah daerah yang kaya akan potensi perkebunan masa Hindia Belanda. Meskipun demikian belum ada tulisanyang membahas seperti apa dan bagaimanakah pemukiman di kawasan perkebunan karet masa Hindia Belanda di Bogor. Dilatarbelakangi oleh pemikiran tersebut maka tulisan ini bertujuan menampilkan kembali gambaran pola pemukiman di kawasan perkebunan karet melalui jejak-jejak yang ditinggalkan. Tulisan ini disusun melalui tahap penelusuran literatur, survei arkeologi danlingkungan di lokasi penelitian, analisis, sintesa antara data arkeologi dan data sejarah. Gambaran pola pemukiman di kawasan perkebunan karet di Bogor dapat dibuktikan secara fisik melalui tinggalan-tinggalan arkeologi. Bangunan-bangunan yang berfungsi sebagai rumah tempat tinggal pemilik kebun,bangunan kantor perkebunan, pengolahan getah karet, dan mausoleum, serta artefak genteng lamadan botol Eropa merupakan petunjuk keberadaan pemukiman di perkebunan karet Hindia Belanda diBogor. Pola pemukiman perkebunan tersusun atas bangunan tempat tinggal pemilik kebun misalnya landhuis atau kantor perkebunan yang dikelilingi oleh tempat tinggal pegawai dan pekerjanya, tempat pengolahan karet. Adapun mausoleum ditempatkan berjauhan dari pusat pemukiman. Abstract. The Settlement Pattern of Rubber Plantation Areas from the Dutch-Indie’s Period in Bogor.This article is based on a notion that Bogor is an area rich in potency of plantations during the Dutch-Indie’s Period. However, there has not been an article that discusses what were the settlements in the rubber plantations in Bogor during the Dutch-Indie’s period like and how were life there at that time. Based on such thought, this article will reconstruct the settlement patterns in the rubber plantations through their remains, by conducting literature study, archaeological and environmental surveys in the research area, analyses, and synthesis between archaeological and historical data. The depiction of the settlement patterns in rubber plantations in Bogor can be physically proven through their archaeological remains. Buildings that were functioned as residences of plantation owners, administration building (plantation office), rubber-latex processing building, and mausoleum, as well as artefacts in forms of old roof tiles and European bottles are indications of the presence of settlements in Dutch Indie’s rubber plantations in Bogor. The settlement pattern consists of residence of plantation owner, known as landhuis, plantation office surrounded by residences of plantation workers, and rubber-latex processing building. Mausoleum is located far from the centre of settlement.
Difficulties and priorities of the development of the digital economy in the Agri-Industrial Complex
Authors: Rodionova I.A. , Timofeev E.I.
Published: May 2020

Subject. The digital economy reveals the extent of technological obsolescence of the AIC. However, although the public gets more and more interested in this innovative line of development, there is still a lack of good understanding of the substance and content of the digital economy. The country has appropriate conditions for mastering digital technologies, but systemic difficulties impede their diffusion in the AIC.
Objectives. The study examines respective difficulties and determines priorities of the digital economy development in the AIC.
Methods. The study rests on proceedings by foreign and Russian scholars who examined theoretical and practical aspects of agricultural digitalization. We also refer to official statistics and documents on governmental and special-purpose agricultural development programs. The study involves the systems approach, monographs, statistical, graphical methods.
Results. We sorted the existing approaches to interpreting the content of the digital economy. The article determined what impedes the digitalization in agriculture and examines the practices of mastering digital technologies. The scientific community was found to be very interested in the digital agriculture. However, Russian scholars are not very conversant with the digitalization practices due to multiple difficulties. Therefore, there should be respective information campaigns, involving the government. Operational cases of agricultural businesses should be showcased.
Conclusions and Relevance. To overcome difficulties integrating the digital economy in agriculture, market actors should pull through serious barriers, such as high investment risks associated with investment in digital technologies, poor awareness of business communities about opportunities and successful cases of digital solutions, insufficient involvement of authorities and many other economic and political aspects.

Authors: Yakimova V.A. , Brizitskaya A.V.
Published: May 2020

Subject. The article examines economic systems of priority development that are established in the Far Eastern regions of Russia.
Objectives. The study is to analyze key financial and economic indicators of the financial sustainability of residents and priority development areas (PDA), where they operate, to forecast and determine the future development, enhance the competitiveness, lucrativeness for investors and performance.
Methods. Research is based on methods of correlation and regression analysis, grouping, systematization, comparison and analysis, ratios.
Results. We analyzed financial sustainability indicators of PDA by group of residents, which were sorted by scope of their operations, lifecycle phase of projects and type of activity. The article indicates key sources of funds and a lack of additional investment.
Conclusions and Relevance. Analyzing the financial sustainability of PDA, we point out that most residents have sufficient capital invested, which is needed to implement investment projects, and operate in the favorable financial environment. However, financial resources can be multiplied mainly with funds raised, which can possibly put the financial security at stake. We point out noticeable unprofitability, on the one hand, which is typical of average indicators of the region. However, on the other hand, it results from the investment phase of some projects. Investors may refer to the analysis of the financial sustainability of residents and PDA to ensure the development and have the stable return on investment, protect their investment resources. The findings can be also interesting for creditors to have a comprehensive view of the borrower's solvency and creditworthiness of counterparts, while authorities and managing companies can rely on it to monitor the development of the economic system, outline economic security actions for the Far Eastern regions of Russia.
Changes in the corporate human resource management
Authors: Astaf'eva O.V.
Published: May 2020

Subject. The obvious turnover and insufficient involvement of staff may turn rather dear for the company, especially when it concerns the promising talent, who were trained thoroughly for a long time. Human Resource Management (HRM) is especially critical for those entities which take care of their competitive advantages driven by innovative employees. That is the reason for new approaches to building and managing the crucial resource of modern corporations – people.
Objectives. I examine changes in managers’ routine as new HRM methods are adopted, creating new success drivers and competitiveness of the entity.
Methods. The methodological basis comprises proceedings that try to find new methods for entities to raise their competitive advantages by enhancing the quality of HRM. The study employs methods of generalization, comparative analysis, theoretical modeling, decomposition.
Results. I provide the rationale for new HRM methods, in addition to the traditional method of competence. The article sorts out changes that were seen in managers’ routine of operational decision-making for strategic staff management.
Conclusions. HRM methods are difficult to replicate. So, the development of the HRM approach can become a sustainable driver of the corporate competitiveness. Companies shall invest abundantly in people and business processes, which is, on the one hand, an operational task, and, on the other hand, a vital process implementing the strategy, that shall be necessarily maintained by top managers.
The development of alternative energy sources: Prospects in Russia and the world
Authors: Frai M.E.
Published: May 2020

Subject. The article discusses limited sources of energy nowadays and an ongoing survey of new ones. I focus on fuel and energy complexes worldwide and in Russia.
Objectives. The study is to analyze the future use of alternative energy sources in the fuel and energy complex nationwide and worldwide. I review the existing energy sources of the fuel and energy complex in the global and regional markets, specifically the alternative ones.
Methods. The study relies upon methods of statistics, analysis and systems approach.
Results. The article demonstrates that the fuel and energy complex strongly depends on the current situation in the energy resource market, which is difficult to forecast. If we continue relying on traditional energy resources, we get exposed to some risks affecting the sustainable development of the economy. Russia should diversify the power engineering sector by developing alternative energy sources. The article sets forth the economic rationale for alternative sources and key steps Russia shall make.
Conclusions and Relevance. Considering the current situation in the energy balance, alternative energy is what any advanced society seeks for, being supported by manufacturers, governmental institutions, and researchers, though low profitability and high infrastructure costs impede its development. In Russia, these challenges are even more palpable. However, even now Russia is able to find alternative energy solutions. In addition to advantages of alternative energy, which is globally proclaimed, they will also help Russia diversify and update the economic system.

Authors: Molchanova E.V.
Published: May 2020

Subject. The article focuses on the digital health across countries.
Objectives. I examine theoretical and applied aspects of the digital health in the leading countries of Western Europe and Russia.
Methods. Analyzing the current situation, I refer to regulatory and legislative documents on the digital economy and digital health, official statistics. Research is based on the comparative analysis of key medical-demographic and socio-economic indicators, and economic and mathematical apparatus.
Results. The study represents a comprehensive evaluation of theoretical and applied aspects of the digital health development at the macro- and mesolevels. For this, I gradually compare countries, narrowing the focus down to regional trends. The article describes key patterns and specifics of using digital health technologies successfully in Western Europe. I evaluate the digital health development in Russia, pointing out advantages and possible risks that may arise if modern technologies are integrated in real-life healthcare practices. They should be considered when digital health programs are prepared for Russia.
Conclusions and Relevance. Conducting the digital transformation of healthcare, governments should not stick to statutory benchmarks, but rather strive to the genuine efficiency of ICT to preserve and strengthen the national health. The findings can be used to prepare regional medical-demographic documents, including those concerning high-tech medical aid.
Ensuring the civil security in territorial entities
Authors: Sadykov R.M.
Published: May 2020

Subject. As the society faces more and more threats and risks, civil security issues become a priority. The civil security means the protection of a citizen from external and internal threats arising from the societal, natural and technological environments.
Objectives. The study evaluates threats and civil security in territorial units.
Methods. I applied methods of the comparative analysis, results of sociological surveys and official statistics.
Results. What seems to put people at peril at the local level is mushrooming threats of emergencies. Evaluating the security of the urban environment, I should point out low road accident rates, good fire safety, more preventive public security actions for people and businesses. In the mean time, I mention weaknesses, such as buildings in residential areas that can be destroyed by land slides, residential areas exposed to karst hazards, floods in cities and houses during spring tides, few people having access to central communication channels, its obsolescence, low capacity and insufficient ramification of sewage networks, etc.
Conclusions and Relevance. There should be a conceptual smart city model, which would refer to the public feedback on the urban environment. At the municipal level, I should prioritize the improvement of emergency prevention practices, expansion and development of video surveillance in publicly important places, air pollution monitoring, rehabilitation of the existing sewage network, geological surveys of karst hazards in urban areas, etc.
Modeling of the relationship between gross regional product, labor force, and employment: The Lipetsk Oblast case study
Authors: Kozlova E.I. , Novak M.A. , Karlova M.Yu.
Published: May 2020

Subject. This article discusses the prospects for growth of Russia and its regions' economies.
Objectives. The article aims to identify causal relationships between gross regional product as the main economic growth indicator of a particular region and labor costs.
Methods. For the study, we used a correlation and regression analysis.
Results. The article presents trend forecast models and linear equations of multiple regression. It finds that all capital factors have a stronger impact on public product of the Lipetsk Oblast than the labor ones. Regarding labor factors, only the average per capita income of the population has a direct impact on the formation of the Lipetsk Oblast's GRP.
Conclusions. The identified relationships between the Lipetsk Oblast's GRP and exogenous variables help define the hierarchy of linear models that provide extensive analytical information on the formation of the Lipetsk Oblast's GRP. In linear models, there is no significant relationship between the changes in the working population of the Oblast and the regional product. To adequately describe the dynamics of the Lipetsk Oblast's GRP, it makes sense to apply a set of linear models of multiple regression.

Objectives. The article aims to identify the key priority areas of agricultural development in the Republic of Mordovia.
Methods. For the study, I used the methods of dynamic and factor analyses, comparison, and generalization.
Results. The article identifies the main problems hindering the development of the industry and offers recommendations to address them.
Conclusions. In general, the dynamics of the agro-industrial complex of Russia's development is positive, although there are significant financial problems in some regions. To improve the situation, it is advisable to provide financial support not to profitable enterprises of the industry only, but also the low-profit ones.
Rural entrepreneurship capital and firm performance: A youth perspective
Authors: Purusottama Ambara
Published: May 2020

This study aims to review the concept of entrepreneurship capital in the context of rural entrepreneurship. Rural entrepreneurship is becoming increasingly popular because it is considered as the proper instrument in stemming urbanization. This research examines the relationship between entrepreneurship and firm performance in the perspective of resource-based theory. The researcher used a structural equation model approach as a tool to measure the relationship. The unit of analysis of this study is a rural youth entrepreneur domiciled in East Java Province, Malang Regency, Bojonegoro, and Tuban. This study used a quantitative approach involving 733 youth entrepreneurs with a purposive sampling technique. The results of the study found that not all elements of entrepreneurship capital were able to influence firm performance. The three elements are cultural capital, social capital, and human capital. Other findings show financial capital is no longer as a major consideration to support entrepreneurship as in previous studies.
Bone marrow involvement in pediatric malignancies: a comparison study of Positron emission tomographycomputed tomography and bone marrow biopsy
Authors: Tezol Özlem , Sağcan Fatih , Özcan Pınar Pelin , Çıtak Elvan Çağlar
Published: May 2020

Background and Objectives. The comparison of Positron emission tomography- computed tomography (PETCT) and bone marrow biopsy (BMB) modalities in detecting bone marrow disease is an up to date research topic. In this study, we aimed to compare the results of PET-CT and BMB procedures in detecting bone marrow involvement in pediatric malignancies.
Method. At the time of diagnosis, PET-CT imaging and BMB performed patients` data were evaluated, retrospectively. Malign diagnoses were Hodgkin's lymphoma in 23 (30.7%), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 20 (26.7%), neuroblastoma in 11 (14.7%), Ewing sarcoma in 10 (13.7%), Langerhans cell histiocytosis in 6 (8%), and rhabdomyosarcoma in 5 (6.6%) patients.
Results. Bone marrow involvement was detected in 39 (52%) of 75 patients. Bone marrow involvement was identified by both PET-CT and BMB in 18 (46.1%) patients, by only PET-CT in 12 (30.7%) patients, by only BMB in 9 (23%) patients. The sensitivity of PET-CT was 66%, specificity was 75%, positive predictive value was 60%, and negative predictive value was 80%. Sensitivity, spesificity, positive and negative predictive values of PETCT were different in before mentioned malignancy groups.
Conclusion. PET-CT may not have high sensitivity and specificity to identify bone marrow involvement for each type of cancer. The approach of using bone marrow biopsy and PET-CT as complementary modalities seems reliable.

Published: May 2020

Background. < 7b > Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) may precede malignancy, in particular lymphomas and leukemias. However, the causative factors, appropriate treatment and the prognosis of this association is not established.
Case. Herein, we present two patients, one with nodular sclerosing Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and concomitant Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, and the other with anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), presented as malignancy associated HLH.
Conclusion. In our patients, malignancy directed therapy was sufficient to treat HLH symptoms both at presentation and at recurrence in the second patient.
Mild encephalopathy with reversible splenial lesion associated with echovirus 6 infection: a case report and review of the literature
Authors: Masiello Enrico , Gatto Antonio , Lazzaresc Ilaria , Rigante Donato , Mariotti Paolo , Valentini Piero
Published: May 2020

Background. Mild encephalopathy with reversible splenial lesion (MERS), a clinic-radiological syndrome distinguished by reversible encephalopathy onset, has been increasingly recognized in Caucasian children.
Case. We describe a MERS case in a previously healthy 4-year-old girl admitted to the hospital with abnormal consciousness level, muscle weakness, dysphagia and dysarthria after a 4-day history of diarrhea and fever. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain showed hyperintensity in the corpus callosum splenium. Electroencephalogram was normal and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture negative. The stool sample was positive for Echovirus 6 and serology test confirmed the infection. The child`s condition gradually improved and the MRI, after 15 days, depicted a normal brain. Only a mild speech impairment was persistent at discharge, which disappeared one month later. We performed a literature review about pediatric MERS cases demonstrating that infectious agents have been rarely isolated in CSF.
Conclusion. MERS has an overall good prognosis independently from the treatment approach; this is confirmed by our case - one of the first reported with an Echovirus 6-related encephalopathy.

Rumah Pompa Taman Ratu is located in Hilir Perumahan Taman Ratu Kota, West Jakarta Administration. In 2006 the construction of a pumping house was carried out to cope with flooding / inundation in the area downstream of the Taman Ratu connecting channel (PHB) with a capacity of 500 liters / second. The west and east sides of PHB Taman Ratu are inspection roads currently used by the community to access and exit the Taman Ratu Housing. The construction of the pump house does not have a flood gate due to limited land, so the pump must work every day to lower the water level at PHB Taman Ratu. Due to frequent rise and fall in elevation at Taman Ratu PHB, the PHB walls made of stone cause damage to several segments that can cause landslides. By doing soiltest using bore log and soiltest results analyzed using software, the PHB channel pouring is generated using Sheetpile type W400 A 1000 with a depth of 15 meters to resist landslides on the PHB Taman Ratu inspection road.

NeP (6/20%), 4) PoP (0). American national culture and that of Japan which are different affect their preference of politeness strategies shown in “The Last Samurai” movie. In conclusion, language and culture affect each other. People coming from different language and culture communicate differently.
Learning Translation and Multi-culture to Reduce Social Conflict
Authors: Wuryantoro Aris
Published: May 2020

This study aims to describe the role of learning translation with enhancing multi-culture understanding to reduce social conflict in society. This study used descriptive qualitative method by using documentation technique in collecting data. The source of the data are documentations in the form of intralingual and interlingual translation. The result of the study reveals that translation has four aspects, there are meaning, grammatical structure, communication situation, and cultural context. Besides, translation is closely related to cultural context aspect because translation contains at least cultural aspect from source language and target language. The researchers conclude that learning translation can enhance multi-culture in order to reduce social conflicts. The language used by one society automatically shows its language user or its social identity. The researcher concludes that by mastering language and culture of one society as a part of learning translation, we can reduce social conflict which mainly caused by misunderstanding toward the used language and culture.

This study aims to see the relevance of Pancasila values as a defense paradigm in Indonesia in dealing with modern threats. This research uses doctrinal methods with statue approach. The pancasila values able to unite, collaborate with all the elements in order to achieve and realize the goals of the State of Indonesia. Pancasila values still need to be held firmly and realized in the all aspects of the Indonesian people’s life. Pancasila is a defense paradigm that has been tested in the Indonesian people struggle history in facing threats from within and outside the country. Pancasila as a defense paradigm is still very relevant to be used to deal with various forms of threats both conventional threats and modern threats as we are currently facing
Selective Oxidation of Pharmaceuticals and Suppression of Perchlorate Formation during Electrolysis of Fresh Human Urine

Many pharmaceutical compounds are excreted unchanged or as active metabolites via urine. They pass through conventional wastewater treatment processes and present a risk to aquatic ecosystems and humans. Point-source remediation of source-separated urine provides a promising alternative to destroy pharmaceuticals before dilution with wastewater. Electrochemical advanced oxidation processes are one possible option for degrading pharmaceuticals in urine, but they often lead to the formation of oxidation byproducts (OBPs) including chlorate, perchlorate, and halogenated organics at hazardous concentrations due to high background chloride concentrations. Here, we show that the high urea content of fresh human urine suppresses the formation of oxychlorides by inhibiting formation of HOCl/OCl‒ during electrolysis, while still enabling the oxidation of pharmaceuticals by •OH due to the slow rate of urea oxidation by •OH. This results in improved performance when compared to equivalent treatment of hydrolyzed aged urine. This (primarily indirect) electrochemical oxidation scheme is shown to degrade the model pharmaceuticals cyclophosphamide and sulfamethoxazole with surface-area-to-volume-normalized pseudo-first-order observed rate constants greater than 0.08 cm/min in authentic fresh human urine matrixes. It results in two orders-of-magnitude decrease in pharmaceutical concentrations in 2 hours while generating three orders-of-magnitude lower oxychloride byproduct concentrations in synthetic fresh urine as compared to synthetic hydrolyzed aged urine matrixes. Importantly, this proof-of-principle shows that simple and safe electrochemical methods can be used for point-source-remediation of pharmaceuticals in fresh human urine (before storage and hydrolysis), without formation of significant oxychloride byproducts.

The purpose of this investigation is to establish anti-diabetic activity relationship as well as efficiency of formulated guar gum matrix tablet using microencapsulated glibenclamide (GBLD). This research is an approach to utilize pharmaceutical excipients as an alternative hypoglycemic agent. In order to execute the objective, GBLD microspheres were formulated by emulsion solvent evaporation method using dichloromethane and methanol as solvent system which was transferred drop after drop into encapsulating medium i.e. liquid paraffin light. The formulated microspheres were exposed to various assessment parameters like drug entrapment efficiency, % yield, particle size distribution, and average particle size, the morphology of surface, dissolution study (in vitro) and micromeritics of prepared microspheres. By using these microspheres, matrix tablets were then prepared which were further evaluated for weight variation, thickness, friability, hardness, drug content, stability study, disintegration time, swelling index and dissolution (in vitro) studies were carefully carried out. Betwixt all the formulated microspheres GEM3 was found to best optimized with respect to evaluation parameters. The results obtained were found within the desired ranges where % yield 93.75%, drug entrapment efficiency 95.627% at 12th hour, and the average particle size was observed to be 179.4±0.12 µm. Then, by using the method of direct compression matrix tablets of optimized microspheres GEM3 were prepared and drug release (in vitro) was performed. The obtained results of performed parameters on matrix tableted microspheres were within the acceptable range according to IP guidelines. Out of all formulated matrix tableted microspheres, formulation GMT4 and GMT7 showed an in-vitro % drug release of 95.257 and 94.404 at 12th hour in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer.
