Authors: Wohon Erfprinsi , Harijono Bambang , Saleh Siti Chasnak
Published: September 2019

Meningoencephalocele adalah defek kongenital yang sangat jarang, tapi insidennya tinggi di Asia Tenggara, termasuk di Indonesia. Penderita dengan nasofrontal meningoencephalocele memerlukan koreksi pembedahan sedini mungkin karena adanya kelainan bentuk wajah, gangguan pandangan, bertambahnya ukuran meningoencephalocele disebabkan bertambahnya prolaps cerebri dan risiko infeksi. Dalam laporan ini kami presentasikan kasus seorang bayi 9 bulan dengan meningoencephalocele naso-orbital dan hydrocephalus non communican yang menjalani operasi VP shunt dan eksisi cele. Adanya massa tersebut, baik meningoencephalocele nasofrontal atau frontoethmoidal maupun occipital, menimbulkan kesulitan bagi ahli anestesi mulai saat induksi, pemeliharaan anestesi dan pasca operasinya. Menjadi tantangan bagi ahli anestesi dalam pengelolaan meningoencephalocele, dimana sebagian besar penderitanya adalah anak-anak yang mempunyai kesulitan tersendiri, termasuk mengamankan jalan nafas dengan intubasi dan adanya massa yang akan mempersulit ventilasi saat induksi, adanya massa pada nasofrontal serta nasoethmoidal yang berhubungan dengan komplikasinya dan penilaian yang tepat terhadap perdarahan dan hipotermia.Anesthesia Management for A child with Nasofrontal Meningoencephalocele and Hydrocephalus Non CommunicantMeningoencephaloceles are very rare congenital malformations in the world that have a high incidence in the population of Southeast Asia, include in Indonesia. Children with nasofrontal meningoencephaloceles should have surgical correction as early as possible because of the facial dysmorphia, impairment of binocular vision, increasing size of the meningoencephalocele caused by increasing brain prolapse, and risk of infection of the central nervous system. In this report, we presented a case of a 9 months-old baby girl with nasofrontal meningoencephalocele and hydrocephalus non communican, posted for VP shunt (ventriculo-peritoneal shunt) and cele excision. Because of the mass, nasofrontal or frontoethmoidal and occipital meningoencephalocele leads the anaesthetist to problems since the preoperative visit, time of induction, maintenance of anaesthesia during the operation until post operative care. Anaesthetic challenges in management of meningoencephalocele, which most of the patients are children, include ventilation, intubation and securing the airway with intubation with the mass in nasofrontal and nasoethmoidal with its associated complications and accurate assessment of bloodloss and prevention of hypothermia.

Simulation of Reliability Prediction Based on Multiple Factors for Spinning Machine
Authors: Li Chen , Liu Rongxing , Pan Fukui
Published: September 2019

Reliability prediction of spinning machines can result in a time-saving and cost-saving development process with high reliability. Based on an analysis of failure times among systems and subsystems, a simulation method for reliability prediction of spinning machines is proposed by using the Monte Carlo simulation model. Firstly, factor weights are determined according to the fuzzy scoring and analytic hierarchy process. According to the status of reliability growth, growth coefficients are proposed based on reliability influencing factor weights and fuzzy scoring. To achieve the prediction of reliability distribution law, reliability index, and fault frequency, the reliability prediction model is constituted by combining the reliability growth coefficient and the Monte Carlo simulation model. Simulation results for spinning machines are obtained via the model thus built, which are confirmed with a practical example.

A Legacy Diminished: President Obama and the Courts
Authors: Harrington Clodagh , Waddan Alex
Published: September 2019

A central concern for any U.S. presidential administration is its relationship with the federal judiciary. For an administration, this relationship is potentially legacy making or breaking in two ways. First, what is the imprint that the administration leaves on the judiciary? Will a president have the opportunities and institutional capacity to change the political balance of the federal judiciary? Second, how will the judicial branch respond when the administration’s policy plans are, as many inevitably will be, challenged in the court system? Will the administration’s policy preferences be preserved and its agenda advanced, or will court decisions stymie important initiatives and restrict that agenda? This paper examines these questions with regard to the Obama administration’s record. The Obama era saw new levels of diversity in terms of judicial nominees and the courts did sometimes uphold key aspects of the Obama administration’s program to the chagrin of conservative opponents. Yet, with the benefit of two years hindsight, the evidence suggests that the Obama administration’s legacy with regard to both the central questions addressed in the paper was a diminished one. The administration’s capacity to reorient the federal bench was thwarted by the legislative branch, notably obstruction in Senate, with the consequences of that frustration highlighted by the rapid actions taken by the Trump administration and Senate Republicans in 2017–18. Furthermore, on balance, the decisions made by the federal judiciary on matters of significant concern to the Obama White House weakened rather than strengthened the administration’s legacy.

Authors: Pavić Kramarić Tomislava , Miletić Marko , Kožul Blaževski Renata
Published: September 2019

Background: Financial stability or soundness of insurance companies has gained importance over the years, especially after the financial crisis of 2008. Various stakeholders such as policy makers, regulators, the insured, etc. are interested in keeping the insurance sector stable since it contributes to overall financial stability.

Objectives: The authors explore the determinants of insurers’ soundness in selected countries in Central and Eastern Europe. The analysis covers life, non-life and composite insurers that operated in Croatia, Hungary, and Poland in the period 2013 – 2017.

Methods/Approach: A set of insurer – specific, industry – specific and macroeconomic variables are taken into consideration for having a potential influence on soundness measured by the Z-score. The variables include the size based on total assets, the share of premium ceded to reinsurance, claims growth, gross written premium growth, the premium to surplus ratio, market shares held by the five largest insurers, the share of gross written premium in the gross domestic product (GDP) and the GDP per capita growth.

Results: The findings reveal that soundness of Croatian insurers is positively influenced by the size of an insurer. Both in Hungary and Poland reinsurance plays an important factor positively affecting soundness.

Conclusions: Each of the insurance markets covered by the analysis reveals its characteristics and offers guidelines on factors influencing financial stability.

Published: September 2019

The focus of our research was to evaluate different apples cultivars in terms of their biological properties and bioactive compounds content, and determine the levels of their resistance (or susceptibility) to fire blight. The properties of 10 scab-resistant apple cultivars were examined on the Žiča monastery estate (West Serbia) during the period from 2011 to 2015. The biological and chemical properties such as firmness, maturity stage, total soluble solids, total acids, total and reducing sugars, ascorbic acid content and surface blush of apple fruits were monitored. Various phenolic compounds in the tested samples were tentatively identified by LC-MS analyses. A study of generative properties included: number of flower buds, fruit mass and width, crop load, yield efficiency and yield. During the period of blooming and intensive shoot growth, artificial inoculations were carried out. For each cultivar, a fire blight score was determined by dividing the average length of necrotic tissue by the average total shoot length. In the study period, the cultivars ‘GoldRush’ (41.1 t ha−1) and ‘Florina’ (35.9 t ha−1) produced the highest yields, and the cultivars ‘Discovery’ (19.0 t ha−1) and Selection 25/63 (15.1 t ha−1) the lowest. The cultivar ‘William’s Pride’ produced the largest fruits, with an average fruit mass of 206.8 g. The earliest harvest period was recorded for the cultivar ‘Discovery’ (end of July), and the latest for the cultivar ‘GoldRush’ (beginning of October). The cultivar ‘Enterprise’ had the highest value of total phenols (432.2 mg 100 g
−1 FW), while the cultivar ‘Topaz’ had the highest value of total flavanols (145.2 mg 100 g−1 FW). The highest degree of susceptibility to fire blight was found in Selection 25/63, and the greatest resistance was manifested by the cultivar ‘GoldRush’. In the five-year study period, the cultivars ‘GoldRush’, ‘Rewena’ and ‘Enterprise’ exhibited better bio-chemical properties and higher levels of resistance to fire blight than the remaining cultivars.
The effects of Guarana (Paullinia cupana) supplementation on the cognitive performance of young healthy adults – a Systematic Review
Authors: Konstantinos Fanaras , Heun Reinhard
Published: September 2019

Objectives

Guarana (Paullinia cupana) from the Sapindaceae family, native to the Amazon basin, is a natural stimulant herb that can be found in popular energy drinks, pharmaceutical shops or local herb shops. With the use of natural health products increasing, guarana has gained a fair amount of popularity in the past years. In this systematic review, we examined the effects of guarana supplementation on cognitive performance. A secondary objective was to compare guarana with caffeine on cognitive performance.

Methods

Searches were made in PubMed using the terms ‘Guarana’ or ‘Paullinia cupana’. Filters focused on Controlled Clinical trials. Inclusion criteria were met by studies using interventions with guarana, while focusing on guarana’s effects on cognition. Participants needed to be young, healthy adults. Studies not published in English or Greek were excluded. The last date of our search was March 7, 2019.

Results

A total of 29 studies were identified and screened. After screening, 17 studies were excluded. The remaining 12 studies were found eligible for data extraction. After reading the full text of the 12 studies, 3 studies were excluded. In the end, 9 studies were found eligible for our systematic review (n = 369 participants). In these studies, guarana showed to improve reaction time and accuracy of performance at cognitive tasks. No significant differences were found when comparing guarana with caffeine.

Conclusion

Guarana seems to improve reaction time and accuracy of performance at tasks, but no significant effects were found when compared with caffeine. High quality randomized controlled clinical trials with a low risk of bias are needed to further study the herb.

Published: September 2019

In recent years, exercise on a water treadmill has come to have great relevance in rehabilitation and training centres for sport horses. Its use exploits certain physical properties of water, related to the fundamental principles of hydrodynamics, such as buoyancy, viscosity, hydrostatic pressure, and water temperature. These properties together with deliberate specification of the depth of the water and the velocity of the treadmill provide a combination of parameters that can be varied according to the purpose of the rehabilitation or training programme, the disease to rehabilitate, or the healing phase. In the current article, kinematic adaptations to exercise on a water treadmill and the direct application of such exercise to the rehabilitation of superficial and deep digital flexor tendon and accessory ligament injuries and back and joint diseases are described.
Bivagina pagrosomi Murray (1931) (Monogenea: Polyopisthocotylea), a microcotylid infecting the gills of the gilt-head sea bream Sparus aurata (Sparidae) from the Red Sea: morphology and phylogeny
Authors: Dajem Saad Bin , Morsy Kareem , Shati Ali , Ezzat Ahmed , El-Said Fahmy , Abdel-Gaber Rewaida
Published: September 2019

Introduction

Monogenea is a class of ectoparasitic flatworms on the skin, gills, or fins of fish. Microcotylidae is a family of polyopisthocotylean monogeneans parasitising only marine fishes. This work describes and taxonomically determines a microcotylid polyopisthocotylean monogenean in an important fish in Saudi aquaculture.

Material and Methods

Thirty gilt-head sea bream captured alive from the Red Sea of Saudi Arabia were examined for monogenean infection. Worms were described morphologically and morphometrically by light microscopy and multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic trees were also constructed after maximum likelihood analysis of the 28S rRNA sequences.

Results

Seventeen fish were infected by a monogenean parasite in the gill lamellae. It showed a bilobed anterior extremity, two rows of numerous unequal clamps of microcotylid type, and paired muscular vaginae crowned by differently sized spines. The vaginal number and its relative armature suggested the species’ affiliation to group D; the parasite possessed large, muscular vaginae with a full corona of spines over almost the entire width resembling Bivagina pagrosomi Murray (1931). The molecular analysis of the parasite 28s rRNA revealed 97% homology with B. pagrosomi (AJ577461.1).

Conclusion

The results confirmed the taxonomic status of the parasite recorded. On the basis of morphology and molecular data, we consider that several conclusions on the systematic status of microcotylids from Red Sea fishes in Saudi Arabia should be discussed.
Protective role of propolis on low and high dose furan-induced hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress in rats
Authors: Kaya Emre , Yılmaz Seval , Ceribasi Songul
Published: September 2019

Introduction

The aim of this study was to evaluate potential protective effects of propolis on furan-induced hepatic damage by assessing the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH), antioxidant enzyme activities, and histopathological changes in the liver.

Material and Methods

Albino Wistar rats were divided into six groups: a control, propolis-treated (100 mg/kg b.w./day), low-dose furan-treated (furan-L group; 2 mg/kg b.w./day), high-dose furan-treated (furan-H group; 16 mg/kg b.w./day), furan-L+propolis treated, and furan-H+propolis treated group. Propolis and furan were applied by gavage; propolis for 8 days, and furan for 20 days in furan-L groups and 10 days in furan-H groups.

Results

While MDA levels were elevated in furan-treated groups, levels of GSH and activities of antioxidant enzymes decreased (p < 0.001). The levels of MDA and GSH and activities of antioxidant enzymes were normal in the furan+propolis groups, especially in the furan-L+propolis group (p < 0.001). While the aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, and lactate pdehydrogenase activities were elevated in the furan-H treated group (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001), they were unchanged in the furan-L treated group. Histopathologically, several lesions were observed in the liver tissues of the furan-treated groups, especially in the higher-dose group. It was determined that these changes were milder in both of the furan+propolis groups.

Conclusion

The results indicate that propolis exhibits good hepatoprotective and antioxidant potential against furan-induced hepatocellular damage in rats.

Published: September 2019

Introduction

Q fever (coxiellosis) is an infectious disease of animals and humans, caused by.C. burnetii and widely distributed throughout the world. It is known that people and animals acquire the disease predominantly.via inhalation of infectious aerosols. The possibility of transmission of the pathogen by the alimentary route is still a matter of debate and remains controversial. Therefore the aim of this study was to fill the gaps in knowledge of oral transmission of.C. burnetii by conducting biological tests on the guinea pig model.

Material and Methods

Guinea pigs, divided into five groups comprising a negative control and four experimental groups, received specified concentrations of.C. burnetii per os. To determine the presence of specific antibodies, blood samples were tested using CFT. Also, internal organs collected during necropsy were screened by a real-time PCR targeting I.1111. Additionally, histopathological evaluation of the tissues was performed.

Results

The presence of antibodies and pathogen DNA in caecum was confirmed in one guinea pig from experimental group IV..C. burnetii was also detected in testicular tissue collected from one animal of experimental group II.

Conclusions

The presence of pathogen DNA in the testicular tissue indicates that infection spreads haematogenously. In the majority of experimental animals specific antibodies and genetic material of.C. burnetii were not detected. This fact suggests that development of infection depends on many factors, such as animal immune status.

Published: September 2019

Background and purpose: The quality management field has been studied for more than 100 years dating back to the early 1900s when Fredrick W. Taylor is known as the father of Scientific Management, stressed the importance of quality inspection. This paper describes how quality management field has developed and evolved to date, particularly by tracking its focus over time.

Design/Methodology/Approach: A systematic approach to literature review was adapted in this research. Identifying the gurus and the scholars in this field makes it possible for the researchers to review their works, which are, mainly, in the form of books and journal articles. Process in getting literature review that has been conducted include quality management in general, as well as ‘evolution of quality management’ and ‘development of quality management’ respectively in capturing the field of quality management and thus, illustrating how the quality management field has evolved over the time.

Results: It appears that quality management literature have evolved through time, and as they evolved, the principles, systems, tools and techniques have changed. As a result of the study, this paper also provides the synthesis of quality management literature over time according to the key focus and gives a new perspective for the further research.

Conclusions: The historical review allows the researchers to establish the pattern of quality – the ‘focus, principles, systems, and tools and techniques’ over time. Our observations have confirmed that as the focus has changed, the principles have also changed and as the principles have changed, the systems, tools and techniques also have changed in quality management field.
Ten Years Later: Lessons for DSGE Builders and Czech Policy Makers
Authors: Michl Aleš
Published: September 2019

We show an example of a small open economy – the Czech Republic – where the fiscal restriction was put in place between 2010 and 2013 in a negative output gap and zero lower bound on nominal interest rates. According to our results, such fiscal policy seems to have been mistaken, as the restriction may apparently have caused a second recession in the Czech Republic in 2012/2013 (after the global recession in 2008/2009). Instead of the dynamic stochastic general equilibrium approach (DSGE), we applied a tractable static deterministic partial equilibrium approach using the IS-LM framework. We derived mathematically from the IS-LM model that expansionary fiscal policy acting via higher government investment can be an appropriate tool for reacting to a crisis in the very short run when interest rates hit the zero lower bound. Expansionary fiscal policy after the 2008/2009 crisis would probably have led to faster stabilisation of the Czech economy. We simulate a potential increase in government investment of 8% yearly between 2011 and 2013. This would have added 0.4 pp to GDP growth and increased the inflation rate by about 0.5 pp. Hence, the inflation outlook in 2013 would not have been negative and would consequently have led to less pressure for monetary policy expansion using unconventional interventions against the Czech koruna.

Published: September 2019

The purpose of this study was to describe the form of acculturation of Javanese-Islamic culture in ketoprak performance. The acculturation of Javanese-Islamic culture can be found in a variety of Egyptian-style of ketoprak. The Egyptian’s ketoprak is often referred to as Ketoprak Baghdad, Ketoprak Stambul, and Ketoprak 1001 nights because the performed stories are from the Middle East (the story of 1001 nights). The acculturation of Islamic-Javanese culture in the Egyptian’s ketoprak can be seen in terms of stories that adopt the plays from the Middle East or the play of 1001 nights. Besides, the acculturation of Islamic-Javanese culture also appears in terms of costumes and accompaniment. The costumes used are different from Ketoprak in general, which is a combination of Javanese costume and Middle Eastern style clothing. In terms of accompaniment, the Egyptian style of ketoprak also uses “terbang” musical instruments by bringing in the Islamic nuances of songs. In today’s era, Islamic nuances of ketoprak are used in any activities related to ceremonies and commemorations of Islamic holidays. Therefore, the development of ketoprak in the present has become more flexible and adapted to the needs of the community.Keywords: acculturation; Islamic-Javanese culture; the Egyptian style; Ketoprak; Islamic nuances

Elderly and forced displacement in Colombia
Authors: Curcio Carmen Lucía , Vanegas José Hoover , Palacio María Cristina , Corchuelo Ojeda Jairo
Published: September 2019

Objective: To describe the experiences of older adults around forced displacement due to the Colombian armed conflict.
Methods: Interpretive-comprehensive study, with a hermeneutical approach; several types of sampling were carried out. The participants were 12 people aged over 60 years, who reported having being displaced and who participated in the SABE Colombia Survey. The data were encoded using the Atlas.ti software. A process of condensation of central analytical, support and emerging categories was made.
Results: The displacement generated by the armed conflict has been decisive in the current life conditions of the participants. They know that they are survivors of someone else's violence; there is dislocation, loss of territory, de-anchoring, lack of protection and insecurity. To the stigma of old age, it is added being displaced and being strangers in a place where they don’t belong. They live the violent uprooting of their lands and the confusion of their identity; they found themselves in a foreign scene where they were the unusual and the strangers; from receiving threats, they passed to be labeled as ‘threatening’. This forced displacement stems from violence, but also from fear, and it marks the trajectory of life for older people who experience a prolonged struggle for survival in often hostile environments, living "permanently" displaced.
Conclusion: When there is displacement, older people are not only shed of their land and their home, but also from their cosmos and their vital referents; in addition, it changes their life trajectory and their place in the world.

Authors: Ocampo Chaparro José , Reyes Ortiz Carlos , Castro Flórez Ximena , Gómez Fernando
Published: September 2019

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of frailty and evaluate the relationship with the social determinants of health in elderly residents in urban and rural areas of Colombia.
Methods: The SABE (Health, Wellbeing, and Aging) Colombia project is a cross-sectional study, carried out in 2014-2015, involving 24,553 men and women aged 60 years and older who live in the community in Colombia. For this analysis, we used data from 4,474 participants included as a subsample with grip strength measurements. The frailty syndrome was diagnosed according to the Fried criteria (weakness, low speed, low physical activity, exhaustion, and weight loss). The independent variables were grouped as (a) biological and genetic flow, (b) lifestyle (adverse conditions in childhood) (c) social networks and community, and (d) socio-economic, cultural and environmental conditions. Multiple logistic and linear regression analyses were used to assess the prognostic value of frailty for the outcomes of interest.
Results: The prevalence of frailty was 17.9%. The factors significantly associated with frailty were older age, being women, living in rural areas, having low education, a greater number of medical conditions, insufficient current income, childhood health problems and a poor economic situation in childhood.
Conclusions: Our results support the need to include frailty prevention programs, to improve the socioeconomic health conditions of infants to avoid future development of frailty.

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study is to clarify the connectivity: spatial and physical patterns of Banjarese Kampungs in South Kalimantan river networks for the community of Rumah Bubungan Tinggi (RBT) or high ridge houses. It provides a basis for potential reconstructing a Banjarese Kampung in keeping with the sociocultural context. We investigated a total of an urban kampung (177 households) and 12 RBT groups (4 RBTs groups in 1 urban kampung and 8 RBT groups in 2 rural kampungs). We describe the development of kampung throughout the evolution of river networks, then analyze the formation of dwelling in the urban kampung and the changing of spatial composition in the kin-group. The discussion on the evolution river network is based on the reconstruction of waterway patterns from the 15th until the mid 20th century. Finally, the kinship interaction reveals the open-ended multifamily boundaries and the changing level of house connectivity such as rival kin-groupKeywords: Rumah Bubungan Tinggi (RBT) groups, kampung, connectivity, spatial composition, South Kalimantan
INTERPRETATION OF JUDGES IN REPRESENTING THE DYNAMICS OF RELIGION OF INDIGENOUS LEGAL INHERITANCE OF BALI
Authors: Mulyadi Lilik
Published: September 2019

The interpretation of judges in responding to the dynamics of renewal of Balinese inheritance customary law is very dynamic accompanied by the development of justice, especially towards the dimensions of kapurusa as heirs. Originally, kapurusa was only a descendant of men from a male family and adopted sons, and then it expanded to include male status, and eventually included women as heirs. Judges interpreted based on the development of modern law, progressive law, just law with a philosophical and juridical basis starting with the Decision of the MUDP Bali Supreme Court Number 01/KEP/PSM-3/MDP Bali/X/2010 concerning Supreme Court III MUDP Results Bali.

Background:

In some cases of acute brainstem infarction (BI), standard axial diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) does not show a lesion, leading to false-negative (FN) diagnoses. It is important to recognize acute BI accurately and promptly to initiate therapy as soon as possible.

Methods:

Of the 171 patients with acute cerebral infarctions in our institution who were examined, 16 were diagnosed with true-positive BI (TP-BI) and six with FN-BI. We evaluated the effectiveness of sagittal DWI in accurately diagnosing acute BI and sought to find the cause of its effectiveness by the anatomical characterization of FN-BIs.

Results:

Considering the direction of the brainstem perforating arteries, we supposed that sagittal DWI might more effectively detect BIs than axial DWI. We found that sagittal DWI detected all FN-BIs more clearly than axial DWI. The mean time between the onset of symptoms and initial DWI was significantly longer in the TP group (17.6 ± 5.5 h) than in the FN group (5.0 ± 1.2 h; P < 0.0001). The lesion volumes were much smaller in FN-BIs (259 ± 82 mm3) than in TP-BIs (2779 ± 767 mm3; P = 0.0007). FN-BIs had a significant inverse correlation with the ventrodorsal length of infarcts (FN 3.5 ± 1.1 mm, TP 11.4 ± 3.6 mm; P < 0.0004) and no correlation with other size parameters such as rostrocaudal thickness and lateral width.

Conclusion:

Anatomical characterization clearly confirmed that the addition of sagittal DWI to the initial axial DWI in suspected cases of BI ensures its accurate diagnosis and improves the patient’s prognosis.
Atomistic Insight into the Host-Guest Interaction of a Photo-Responsive Metal-Organic Framework
Authors: Kolodzeiski Elena , Amirjalayer Saeed
Published: September 2019

Photo-responsive functional materials have gained increasing attention due to their externally tunable properties. Molecular switches embedded in these materials enable to control phenomena at the atomic level by light. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) provide a versatile platform to immobilize these photo-responsive units within defined molecular environments to optimize the intended functionality. For the application of these photo-responsive MOFs (pho-MOFs), it is crucial to understand the influence of the switching state on the host-guest interaction. Therefore, we present a detailed insight into the impact of molecular switching the intermolecular interaction. By performing atomistic simulations, we revealed that due to different interactions of the guest molecules with the two isomeric states of an azobenzene-functionalized MOF, both the adsorption sites and the orientation of the molecules within the pores are modulated. By shedding light on the host-guest interaction, our study highlights the unique potential of pho-MOFs to tailor molecular interaction by light.

Published: September 2019

The photocatalytic performance of fluorene-type polymer photocatalysts for hydrogen production from water in the presence of a sacrificial hole scavenger is significantly improved by the incorporation of heteroatoms into the bridge-head. This improvement can be explained by a combination of factors, such as changes in thermodynamic driving-force, particle size, dispersibility under photocatalytic conditions, and light absorption.
Isotopically Labeled Desthiobiotin Azide (isoDTB) Tags Enable Global Profiling of the Bacterial Cysteinome
Authors: Zanon Patrick R. A. , Lewald Lisa , Hacker Stephan M.
Published: September 2019

Rapid development of bacterial resistance has led to an urgent need to find new druggable targets for antibiotics. In this context, residue-specific chemoproteomic approaches enable proteome-wide identification of binding sites for covalent inhibitors. Here, we describe isotopically labeled desthiobiotin azide (isoDTB) tags that are easily synthesized, shorten the chemoproteomic workflow and allow an increased coverage of cysteines in bacterial systems. We quantify 59% of all cysteines in essential proteins in Staphylococcus aureus and discover 88 cysteines with high reactivity, which correlates with functional importance. Furthermore, we identify 268 cysteines that are engaged by covalent ligands. We verify inhibition of HMG-CoA synthase, which will allow addressing the bacterial mevalonate pathway through a new target. Overall, a comprehensive map of the bacterial cysteinome is obtained, which will facilitate the development of antibiotics with novel modes-of-action.

Authors: Pourush Shrikhandia S P  , Geeta Sumbali
Published: September 2019

Calocybe indica, commonly known as milky/summer white mushroom, ‘kuduk’ or ‘dudhi chatta’, is a ligno-cellulolytic, tropical mushroom of Indian origin, which requires a temperature of 30-35°C and a relative humidity of 80-90°C for good growth. It is a new introduction to the domestic mushroom family. There are 40 different species of C. indica, out of which four are edible, that is, C. carnea, C. ionides, C. gambosa and C. indica. In northern part of our country, very few efforts have been attempted towards the cultivation of C. indica. Therefore, the present study was conducted to screen some strains of C. indica viz., DMRO-309, DMRO-319, CI-6, CI-9 and APK-2 procured from Directorate of Mushroom Research, Solan for their growth behaviour, morphometric characters, yield and biological efficiency on wheat and paddy straw for cultivation in Jammu district. On the basis of the results obtained, C. indica strain DMRO-309 and APK-2 emerged as the best performers under the climatic conditions of Jammu region.

Authors: Costa-Lima Neto Luiz
Published: September 2019

O presente artigo tem por objetivo esclarecer a dramaturgia musical (MOTA 2008) das comédias de Luiz Carlos Martins Penna, noção que engloba tanto o texto teatral como sua performance. Utilizamos como fontes principais os textos das comédias de Martins Penna, seus folhetins escritos e publicados no Jornal do Commercio entre 1846 e 1847, além de manuscritos autógrafos, anúncios de periódicos oitocentistas e estudos de historiadores. Relacionamos o universo sonoro (mousiké) das comédias de Martins Penna aos polos cômicos da tradição teatral Ocidental (estudo de situações e personagens) e aos polos da performance (coro e solo), contemplando a articulação entre os repertórios autorais de Martins Penna e os repertórios dos artistas brasileiros e portugueses que repre- sentaram suas comédias no período 1838-1874.
