Published: December 2017

Synthesis of new series of 1-phenyl-3-(4-(pyridin-3-yl) phenyl) urea derivatives and its in vitro antiproliferative activities against NCI-60 human cancer cell lines of nine different cancer types are described. Fourteen compounds 5a-n have been synthesized with three different hydrogen bondable moieties (4-hydroxylmethylpiperidinyl and trimethoxyphenyloxy and 4-hydroxyethylpiperazine) attached to the core structure 1-phenyl-3-(4-(pyridin-3-yl) phenyl) urea. Different substituents with different π and σ values were added on the terminal phenyl group. Compounds with 4-hydroxymethylpiperidine moiety showed higher mean percentage inhibition values over the 60-cell line panel at 10-µM concentration. They showed broad-spectrum antiproliferative activity over many cell lines of different cancer types. For instance, compound 5a elicited some lethal rather than inhibition effects on SK-MEL-5 melanoma cell line, 786-0, A498, RXF 393 renal cancer cell lines, and MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cell line by 146.1, 108.7, 136.2, 134.8, 116.6 % at 10 µM, respectively. Compounds 5a-e exhibited superior antiproliferative activity than Paclitaxel and Gefitinib against the most sensitive cell lines. Two compounds, 5a and 5d showed promising mean growth inhibitions and thus were further tested at five-dose testing mode to determine their IC50 values. The data revealed that 5a and 5d urea compounds are the most active derivatives with significant efficacies and superior potencies than Paclitaxel in 21 different cancer cell lines, belonging particularly to renal cancer and melanoma cell lines. Moreover, 5a and 5d had superior potencies than Gefitinib in 38 and 34 cancer cell lines, respectively; belonging particularly to colon cancer, breast cancer and melanoma cell lines.
Models as a Medium in Architecture
Authors: Seelow Atli Magnus
Published: December 2017

Architecture is more than just buildings. Its associated production and reception pro­cesses take place through a variety of different media. Among those media, the model is of special significance: because architecture, like almost every science or art, works with models as representa­tionally or theoretically simplified images mediating between the abstract and the reality. The properties that characterise models give them a special significance in archi­tecture—both in the abstract, as well as in the concrete. The following article sketches out the history of the architectural model as a medium in a short tour d’horizon. A special focus is placed on showing the versatility of the model—for design and presentation and as an artefact, teaching resource and research medium. It transmits a specific form of knowledge which can be replaced by no other medium.
Locally Optimal Radar Waveform Design for Detecting Doubly Spread Targets in Colored Noise
Authors: Zhu Zhenghan , Kay Steven , Raghavan R. S.
Published: December 2017

Radar transmit signal design is a critical factor for the radar performance. In this paper, we investigate the problem of radar signal waveform design under the small signal power conditions for detecting a doubly spread target, whose impulse response can be modeled as a random process, in a colored noise environment. The doubly spread target spans multiple range bins (range-spread) and its impulse response is time-varying due to fluctuation (hence also Doppler-spread), such that the target impulse response is both time-selective and frequency-selective. Instead of adopting the conventional assumption that the target is wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering,we assume that the target impulse response is both wide-sense stationary in range and in time to account for the possible correlation between the impulse responses corresponding to close range intervals. The locally most powerful detector, which is asymptotically optimal for small signal cases, is then derived for detecting such targets. The signal waveform is optimized to maximizing the detection performance of the detector or equivalently maximizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence. Numerical simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed waveform design for the small signal power conditions and performance of optimum waveform design are shown in comparison to the frequency modulated waveform.
Teenagers, Fandom and Identity
Authors: Lacasa Pilar , De la Fuente Julián , García-Pernía María Ruth , Cortés Sara
Published: December 2017

This paper analyses collective and individual identity construction processes in adolescent fan communities mediated by multimodal discourse. The theoretical framework relies on Jenkins, Itō, and Boyd (2015), Holland and Lave (2009), and Marshall, Moore, and Barbour (2015). Our approach is rooted in participant observation and supported by ethnographic work with teenage girls who belong to music communities built around One Direction, Justin Bieber, and Magcon. Firstly, we will show how participating in communities of practice such as through undertaking tasks which give meaning to group activities contributes to the construction of a social and cultural identity supported by the interpretation, production, and dissemination of texts. Secondly, we will examine how subjective and personal identities related to feelings, emotions, and situations are supported by the fan community, which is organised around the celebrity’s public persona.
Online Persona Research: An Instagram Case Study
Authors: Barbour Kim , Lee Katja , Moore Christopher
Published: December 2017

In the last issue’s editorial, “Five Dimensions of Online Persona” (Moore, Barbour and Lee 2017), we turned our attention to the proliferation of public identities through online platforms, and traced key nodes of research that inform how we think about and theorise online personas. We also proposed and outlined five primary dimensions to the online persona that we characterised as public, mediatised, performative, collective, and having intentional value. The scope of that work was deliberately broad and far-reaching—we envisioned that piece as neither tool nor template but, we hoped, a conceptual starting point for further thinking and research.
In this editorial we seek to continue that work by putting these theoretical foundations and concepts into practice through a study of the persona work of Instagram. This work constitutes, in many cases, significant labour: decisions are made and remade around sharing different types of images, along with the use of hashtags, framing, timing, filters, captions, or tags. Abidin (2016, p. 90) describes this as “visibility labour”, which is “the work individuals do when they self-posture and curate their self-presentations so as to be noticeable and positively prominent” to their audiences or micro-publics, and notes that the labour itself becomes invisible in the persona creation process. This distributed visibility labour forms the basis of persona work, where users and their micro-publics, in conjunction with the platform and the algorithms that drive it, are continually iterating on the persona that is produced.

Authors: Fernandes Liege Helena Freitas , Moura Eline Freitas de Farias , Alencar Catarina Ribeiro Barros de , Cavalcanti Alessandro Leite
Published: December 2017

Introdução: A erosão dentária caracteriza-se como uma perda progressiva de estrutura dentária em que ocorre dissolução localizada de minerais da superfície do dente, ocasionada devido a exposição a ácidos de origem não bacteriana. Esse agravo bucal tem ganhado destaque pelo aumento de sua prevalência, que tem ocorrido, principalmente, devido a mudança dos hábitos alimentares e no estilo de vida da sociedade moderna.  Objetivo: Apresentar uma síntese da ação das pastas de CPP-ACP no controle da erosão dentária. Material e Método: Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura nas bases de dados eletrônicas: Pubmed, Scopus e Bireme, utilizando os termos Erosão Dentária, Tooth Erosion, Esmalte Dentário, Dental Enamel, Caseínas, Caseins, Fluoreto de Sódio, Sodium Fluoride e os operadores boleanos “AND” e “OR” para realização das buscas, não havendo restrição quanto ao ano ou idioma de publicação. Resultados: Diferentes condutas terapêuticas têm sido avaliadas como potenciais alternativas para o controle da erosão dentária, dentre os quais está o uso da caseína fosfopeptídeo - fosfato de cálcio amorfo (CPP-ACP). As pastas de CPP-ACP parecem ser o tipo de veículo com maior potencial preventivo, além disso, a literatura sugere também, que as abordagens adotadas previamente às exposições ácidas tendem a ser mais bem-sucedidas. Apesar disso, ainda não há um consenso sobre a eficácia desse recurso terapêutico, devido, principalmente a carência de estudos realizados sob protocolos in situ. Conclusão: A ação preventiva das pastas de CPP-ACP, suplementadas ou não pelo fluoreto, permanece incipiente na literatura.Descritores: Erosão Dentária; Esmalte Dentário; Caseínas; Fluoreto de Sódio.

Phenol biodegradation by isolated Citrobacter strain under hypersaline conditions
Authors: Deng Tao , Wang Hongyu , Yang Kai
Published: December 2017

Phenol is a toxic pollutant in many kinds of hypersaline industrial effluents that should be treated properly before discharged into water bodies. In this work, a halophilic strain which could utilize phenol as the sole source of carbon and energy was isolated. Based on 16S rRNA results, it was identified as a member of Citrobacter. The phenol biodegradation ability and cell growth of the strain was evaluated with the variation of initial phenol concentration and salinity. The effect of temperature and pH on phenol removal was also investigated. The results showed that the strain was capable of withstanding high phenol (up to 1,100 mg L−1) environment with varying salinity conditions (0–10% of NaCl). The optimal initial phenol concentration was 400 mg L−1, at which the average removal rates of phenol peaked at 10.8 mg L−1 h−1. The higher initial concentration of phenol could inhibit the microbial metabolism. The optimal temperature, pH, and salinity were 35 °C, 6.0, and 0%, respectively. Under these conditions, 400 mg L−1 of phenol could be completely degraded within 20 h. The high removal rates of phenol by the strain might provide an alternative for treating phenolic wastewaters containing high salinity.
Emodin Enhances the Chemosensitivity of Endometrial Cancer by Inhibiting ROS-Mediated Cisplatin-resistance
Authors: Ding Ning , Zhang Hong , Su Shan , Ding Yumei , Yu Xiaohui , Tang Yujie , Wang Qingfang , Liu Peishu
Published: December 2017

Background:

Endometrial cancer is a common cause of death in gynecological malignancies. Cisplatin
is a clinically chemotherapeutic agent. However, drug-resistance is the primary cause of treatment failure.

Objective:

Emodin is commonly used clinically to increase the sensitivity of chemotherapeutic agents, yet
whether Emodin promotes the role of Cisplatin in the treatment of endometrial cancer has not been studied.

Method:

CCK-8 kit was utilized to determine the growth of two endometrial cancer cell lines, Ishikawa and
HEC-IB. The apoptosis level of Ishikawa and HEC-IB cells was detected by Annexin V / propidium iodide
double-staining assay. ROS level was detected by DCFH-DA and NADPH oxidase expression. Expressions of
drug-resistant genes were examined by real-time PCR and Western blotting.

Results:

Emodin combined with Cisplatin reduced cell growth and increased the apoptosis of endometrial cancer
cells. Co-treatment of Emodin and Cisplatin increased chemosensitivity by inhibiting the expression of drugresistant
genes through reducing the ROS levels in endometrial cancer cells. In an endometrial cancer xenograft
murine model, the tumor size was reduced and animal survival time was increased by co-treatment of Emodin
and Cisplatin.

Conclusion:

This study demonstrates that Emodin enhances the chemosensitivity of Cisplatin on endometrial
cancer by inhibiting ROS-mediated expression of drug-resistance genes.
The Role of Echocardiography in the Optimization of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: Current Evidence and Future Perspectives
Authors: Spartalis Michael , Tzatzaki Eleni , Spartalis Eleftherios , Damaskos Christos , Athanasiou Antonios , Livanis Efthimios , Voudris Vassilis
Published: December 2017

Background:

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has become a mainstay in the management of heart failure. Up to one-third of patients who received resynchronization devices do not experience the full benefits of CRT. The clinical factors influencing the likelihood to respond to the therapy are wide QRS complex, left bundle branch block, female gender, non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (highest responders), male gender, ischaemic cardiomyopathy (moderate responders) and narrow QRS complex, non-left bundle branch block (lowest, non-responders).

Objective:

This review provides a conceptual description of the role of echocardiography in the optimization of CRT.

Method:

A literature survey was performed using PubMed database search to gather information regarding CRT and echocardiography.

Results:

A total of 70 studies met selection criteria for inclusion in the review. Echocardiography helps in the initial selection of the patients with dyssynchrony, which will benefit the most from optimal biventricular pacing and provides a guide to left ventricular (LV) lead placement during implantation. Different echocardiographic parameters have shown promise and can offer the possibility of patient selection, response prediction, lead placement optimization strategies and optimization of device configurations.

Conclusion:

LV ejection fraction along with specific electrocardiographic criteria remains the cornerstone of CRT patient selection. Echocardiography is a non-invasive, cost-effective, highly reproducible method with certain limitations and accuracy that is affected by measurement errors. Echocardiography can assist with the identification of the appropriate electromechanical substrate of CRT response and LV lead placement. The targeted approach can improve the haemodynamic response, as also the patient-specific parameters estimation.

Biaya Intermediasi Keuangan Perbankan Indonesia: Peranan Makroekonomi, Regulasi dan Institusi
Authors: Hendri Davy
Published: December 2017

Meskipun reformasi sektor perbankan sudah digaungkan sejak pasca krisis 1997 dan ditopang oleh stabilitas makroekonomi dan pertumbuhan ekonomi yang kuat, intermediasi keuangan di Indonesia masih tertinggal di belakang negara-negara transisi lainnya. Hal ini ditandai salah satunya dengan spread suku bunga tetap tinggi daripada negara-negara pada level regional ASEAN. Makalah ini membahas faktor-faktor penentu margin suku bunga di Indonesia dengan menggunakan dataset panel bank yang periode 2004 sampai 2012 yang mencakup sampel 42 bank umum komersial dari keseluruhan bank yang beroperasi. Dengan data perbankan yang mencakup kategori perbankan menurut kepemilikan saham terbesar (BUMN, Asing dan Campuran) dan lingkup pelayanan (Devisa) maka analisis akan lebih bermakna jika dilakukan dengan mengkomparasikan determinan karakteristik khusus (time-variant) masing-masing bank tersebut. Kami menemukan bahwa selain faktor-bank yang spesifik, seperti ukuran bank, likuiditas, dan kekuatan pasar, serta struktur pasar di mana bank beroperasi, maka karakteristik makroekonomi dan insitusi di mana bank beroperasi turut menjelaskan sebagian besar variasi margin. Kesimpulan dari hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa ada potensi besar kebijakan yang ditujukan untuk mendorong persaingan perbankan dan memperkuat kerangka kerja institusional yang bertujuan untuk mengurangi biaya intermediasi sistem perbankan.

Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan kausalitas antara inflasi dan ketidakpastian inflasi, serta pengaruh variabel moneter yaitu (jumlah uang beredar dan tingkat suku bunga) terhadap inflasi di Indonesia, Filipina, Malaysia dan Thailand. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga metode analisis, yaitu: analisis time series, Uji kausalitas Granger, dan data panel. Analisis time series dilakukan untuk mengestimasi ketidakpastian inflasi pada masing-masing negara, yaitu: Indonesia dengan metode ARMA(2,2), Filipina dengan metode AR(1), Malaysia dengan metode AR(2) EGARCH(1,2), dan Thailand dengan metode ARMA(1,(1)(3))-TARCH(2). Sementara itu, analisis data panel digunakan untuk menganalisis pengaruh ketidakpastian inflasi dan variabel moneter terhadap inflasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada kasus Indonesia dan Thailand terdapat hubungan kausalitas satu arah antara inflasi dengan ketidakpastian inflasi. Sementara itu, hasil uji kausalitas di Filipina dan Malaysia menunjukkan terdapat hubungan kausalitas dua arah antara inflasi dan ketidakpastian inflasi. Estimasi data panel menunjukkan bahwa ketidakpastian inflasi berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap inflasi, jumlah uang beredar berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap inflasi, sedangkan tingkat suku bunga deposito berhubungan positif dan tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap inflasi.Saran dalam penelitian ini, yaitu: pemerintah pusat diharapkan tetap fokus untuk mencapai tingkat inflasi rendah dan stabil untuk menekan ketidakpastian inflasi. Selain itu, pemerintah pusat sebaiknya melakukan upaya-upaya untuk meningkatkan jumlah uang kuasi dan mengurangi jumlah uang kartal untuk menekan tingkat inflasi.

Authors: Zhao Le , Zhang Xing , Ran Guangming
Published: December 2017

We explored the relationships among older adults' self-esteem, coping styles, and loneliness. Participants were 312 older adults who ranged in age from 60 to 88 years, and who were living in Beibei District, Chongqing, China. Participants completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the
Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, and the UCLA Loneliness Scale. The results indicated that older adults' self-esteem, coping style, and loneliness were closely related to each other, and that a positive coping style partially mediated the relationship between the self-esteem and loneliness
of the participants. These findings provide new insights into the effect of self-esteem on loneliness of older adults.
UM ESTUDO EMPÍRICO UTILIZANDO O ÍNDICE DE OPORTUNIDADE HUMANA PARA O BRASIL
Authors: Suliano Daniel Cirilo , Jesus Filho Jaime
Published: December 2017

O desenvolvimento das mais diversas habilidades de um indivíduo pode muitas vezes estar associado à desigualdade de acesso a um conjunto de oportunidades durante a infância, tanto em razão das escolhas sociais da sociedade à qual ele pertence, como também de circunstâncias que estejam fora de seu controle ao nascer. Nesses termos, e objetivando a projeção de políticas públicas de longo prazo, foi desenvolvido o Índice de Oportunidade Humana (IOH), indicador síntese da cobertura de bens e serviços básicos para o bem-estar de crianças a partir de parâmetros pré-determinados. Utilizando dados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD) do IBGE para o Brasil nos anos de 2001-2011, foram elencados oito indicadores de serviços básicos, sendo cinco de dimensão habitacional e três de dimensão educacional, a partir de sete variáveis de circunstâncias. Os resultados mostram, além de uma heterogeneidade das oportunidades nas taxas de cobertura, uma ampliação da rede de acesso, não obstante diferenças entre os grupos de distintas circunstâncias.

Apontamentos sobre erotismo e sagrado na religião tradicional Iorubá
Authors: Ribeiro Ronilda Iyakemi
Published: December 2017

Tendo por tema principal Apontamentos sobre Erotismo e Sagrado na Religião Tradicional Iorubá, este texto foi organizado em cinco sessões: (I) Erotismo; (II) A Religião Tradicional Iorubá; (III) Encantamento e fascínio do transe; (IV) Rituais de casamento entre divindades e humanos e (V) A busca existencial e espiritual de frequentadores das Casas de Axé. Na construção do texto foram utilizadas contribuições teóricas de Awolalu, Bataille, Braudrillard, Fernandes, Rodrigo Frias, Ribeiro, Sàlámì e Valença, bem como fragmentos da Sabedoria Veda. Foram enfatizadas a dinâmica estabelecida entre divindades e humanos em rituais religiosos africanos, com especial destaque à imaginação e à fantasia no processo epistêmico propiciado por esses rituais. Reconhecido o relevante papel reservado à sedução no erotismo, foi assinalado o risco de ser o erotismo despojado de seu caráter místico e sagrado e reduzido à condição de lubricidade, devassidão e lascívia. Coloca-se, finalmente, a questão da busca existencial e espiritual de frequentadores das Casas de Axé.
Lgbtfobia na tradição religiosa Iorubá do Ifá: especulações e práticas da heteronormatividade
Authors: Silva de Melo Miguel Angelo
Published: December 2017

Este artigo está inserido na área de concentração de educação intercultural, etnofilosofia e estudos de gênero, com ênfase nas pressuposições teóricas pós-identitárias advindas com os estudos queer. Assim, o presente artigo tem como objetivo geral promover um estudo histórico-descritivo sobre a efabulação e o enclausuramento do espírito “queer” na comunidade religiosa yorùbá em territorialidades nigerianas, bem como, se propõem a revistar as representações sociais dos modelos heteronormativos de depredação, de submissão e de abjeção de indivíduos de orientação sexual ou de identidade sexual não heterossexual nas práticas e iniciações religiosas de sacerdócio do Ifá no Brasil. A análise que se segue busca demonstrar, através de fragmentos históricos, como se deu a construção do moralismo e da discriminação LGBTfóbica pelo cristianismo e pelo islão nas comunidades étnicas de matriz ancestral yorùbá em tempos de colonização e pós-colonização na Nigéria. Além da revisão de literatura, trabalhamos com o método de abordagem de pesquisa qualitativa sobre o DAFA - análise de documentos e análise de discursos, complementando estes com alguns nuances da pesquisa etnográfica de natureza virtual. A cultura e a matriz ancestral africana yorùbá é algo muito distante, apesar de estar, ao mesmo tempo, tão próxima, dentro da cultura religiosa afrodescendente brasileira. Muito se tem sido debatido, ressignificado, reconstruído e analisado dentro do Brasil sobre a realidade e a história da cultura africana e afrodescendente. Todavia, este artigo demonstra a possibilidade de reinventarmos o que ainda não foi pensado, de quebrarmos as nossas próprias barreiras e de nos aproximarmos, nós afrodescendentes, de nossas origens, de nossa cultura griot, de nossas pretagogias, de nossos Arché, de nosso Àşé, ou seja, de toda uma cosmovisão que nos separam do espírito da pureza, e respectivamente, que nos distanciam de Eèlà.
Mulheres negras e brancas e a maternidade: questões de gênero e raça no campo da saúde
Authors: Souzas Raquel , De Alvarenga Augusta Thereza
Published: December 2017

Nos discursos das mulheres sobre maternidade, segundo escolaridade e raça/etnia, observa-se que se articulam posicionamentos discursivos diferenciados. Como tendência geral há uma aproximação de discursos relacionados a “constructos sociais modernos” sobre maternidade, característicos da modernidade. Constatamos diferenças nos discursos que destacam o grupo de mulheres negras de ensino médio dos demais grupos de escolaridade. É neste grupo de mulheres que são enfatizados, com maior recorrência,  aspectos discursivos relativos às concepções “essencialistas” da maternidade,  ou seja,  naturalizados, rompendo a  tendência de progressiva “dessencialização”, à medida que se eleva a escolaridade das mesmas. As diferentes concepções de maternidade apresentadas, por mulheres negras e brancas, permitem-nos refletir acerca do peso e construção histórica do lugar ocupado na sociedade pelas mulheres negras e brancas e na transversalidade de gênero raça/etnia no campo da saúde reprodutiva.

Patients with diabetes often experience multiple disease complications. Hypoglycemic agents can have both positive and negative effects on diabetic complications, which should be carefully assessed when personalized treatment strategies are developed. In this study we report that dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP-4is), a group of widely used antihyperglycemic agents, can improve diabetic wound healing, independent of their beneficial effects on glycemic control. In particular, DPP-4is promoted the migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of keratinocytes, directly and indirectly, by inducing stromal cell-derived factor 1α production of fibroblasts in vitro and in diabetic mice. In addition, DPP-4is attenuated collagen synthesis and deposition, which may diminish scar formation. Furthermore, the results of a randomized clinical trial (NCT02742233) involving 67 patients with type 2 diabetes supported the role of DPP-4i treatment in diabetic wound healing. Our findings support the application of DPP-4i as a preferred option for treating ulcers in patients with diabetes.

STRATEGIC FEATURES OF THE SMES’ INNOVATION PROCESS: THE CASE OF FOOD SERVICES FROM THE CLUJ-NAPOCA MARKET
Authors: NEGRUȘA Adina Letiția , STÂRCU Iulia Maria
Published: December 2017

The innovation process for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) continues to play a critical role in their development. Due to their ability to provide differentiated products and services, SMEs which innovate are more successful than their non-innovative competitors. The hospitality industry is considered a highly competitive sector therefore enterprises acting in this field should develop new innovative offers. Research in the field of innovation behavior in the hospitality industry has not been systematically investigated, and especially regarding the food services sector from Romania. Thus, this paper aims at covering this gap. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the strategic features of the innovation process applied by food service SMEs from Cluj-Napoca, based on their behavior towards innovation and on its impact upon their business activity. A qualitative study has been developed, based on personal interviews with entrepreneurs of food-services SMEs. The research results present the types of innovations most frequently implemented, the resulted benefits and the future expected goals based on these innovations, and the entrepreneurs’ features which support the innovation process. This is the first study, which provides an investigation regarding the innovation behavior of the food service enterprises from Cluj-Napoca and contributes to the existing literature on innovation, presenting a practical approach on the strategic behavior of the SMEs from this sector.
