Authors: Sitepu Rehmadanta , Heryanto Heryanto , Brotosudarmo Tatas H.P. , Limantara Leenawaty
Published: April 2018

Buah murbei kaya antioksidan karena kandungan antosianin yang banyak. Sayangnya,  pemanfaatannya sebagai sumber antioksidan di Indonesia masih  minim. Pemanfaatan tanaman murbei hanya sebatas daun yang dijadikan pakan ternak dan teh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan karakterisasi antosianin buah murbei spesies Morus alba dan Morus cathayana. Karakterisasi antosianin ekstrak buah murbei Morus cathayana dan Morus alba dilakukan menggunakan pelarut 0,1% asam klorida (HCl)  dalam metanol dan dianalisis menggunakan spektrofotometer UV-tampak dan Kromatografi Cair Kinerja Tinggi (KCKT). Hasil serapan spektra UV-tampak yang diperoleh dari ekstrak kasar menunjukkan spektra serapan ekstrak buah M. cathayana memberikan nilai yang lebih tinggi ± 1,3 a.u dibandingkan serapan yang diperoleh dari ekstrak kasar buah M. alba dengan serapan ± 0,4 a.u. Nilai total antosianin yang diperoleh dari M. cathayana sebanding dengan serapan ekstrak segarnya, yaitu 40,39 ± 7,64 mg/g berat kering dibandingkan  M. alba yang memiliki nilai total antosianin 11,57 ± 3,02 mg/g berat kering. Hasil kromatogram dari KCKT menggunakan kolom XR-ODS dengan pengelusi A adalah 0,1% asam formiat dalam asetonitril dan pengelusi B adalah 0,1% asam formiat dalam air menunjukkan baik M. cathayana maupun M. alba memiliki dua pigmen antosianin dominan. Walaupun bergitu, intensitas kromatogram M. cathayana lebih tinggi dibandingkan intesitas pada M. alba. Nilai intensitas M. cathayana adalah 50 mAU untuk waktu tambat 7,86 menit dan 15 mAU untuk waktu tambat 8,38 menit. Nilai intensitas M. alba adalah 10 mAU untuk waktu tambat 7,35 menit dan 3 mAU untuk waktu tambat 7,76 menit. Dua antosianin dominan pada M. alba dan M. cathayana  diprediksi  merupakan sianidin-3-O-glukosida dan sianidin-3-O-rutinosida.

Published: April 2018

Penentuan nilai Faktor Perlindungan Matahari (FPM) dengan metode spektrofotometri sangat dibutuhkan untuk melakukan penapisan awal kandidat bahan aktif tabir surya. Meskipun demikian, ditemukan kesalahan yang relatif besar ketika dilakukan penentuan SPF secara spektrofotometrik terhadap beberapa sediaan tabir surya yang beredar secara komersial. Oleh karena itu, dalam penelitian ini dilakukan analisis FPM secara spektrofotometrik pada panjang gelombang 290 – 320 nm yang dilanjutkan dengan regresi multivariat yaitu kuadrat terkecil sebagian jack-knife untuk meningkatkan akurasi estimasi nilai prediksi FPM secara in vitro. Selanjutnya, model matematik yang diperoleh, digunakan untuk melakukan penapisan bahan aktif tabir surya dari beberapa sampel botani. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model matematik yang dihasilkan mempunyai nilai kesalahan prediksi yang lebih rendah daripada metode sebelumnya (RMSECV = 3,15; r = 0,915) dan dapat diaplikasikan untuk penapisan kandidat bahan aktif tabir surya dari tanaman.

Authors: Harso Wahyu
Published: April 2018

Kompos dapat digunakan untuk menggantikan penggunaan pupuk kimia yang memiliki pengaruh negatif terhadap kesuburan tanah. Namun demikian pengaruh kompos pada pertumbuhan tanaman tergantung pada kualitas dan tipe kompos. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk megukur pengaruh pemberian kompos dengan tipe yang berbeda (kompos padat dan kompos cair) pada media tanam berupa tanah dan gambut terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman. Penelitian ini menggunakan Tagetes patula yang ditumbuhkan di tanah atau di gambut yang diberi kompos padat atau cair. Kombinasi perlakuan ini diulang sebanyak 4 kali. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian kompos padat akan lebih meningkatkan pertumbuhan tanaman ketika ditumbuhkan di tanah dibandingkan dengan pemberian kompos cair. Sebaliknya pemberian kompos cair akan lebih meningkatkan pertumbuhan tanaman ketika tanaman ditumbuhkan di gambut dibandingkan pemberian kompos padat. Tipe kompos harus diperhatikan sebelum digunakan. Penggunaan kompos harus memperhatikan sifat fisik dari media tanam. Media tanam yang memilki kepadatan tanah yang tinggi lebih baik menggunakan kompos padat, sementara media tanam yang memilki kepadatan rendah lebih baik menggunakan kompos cair.

Authors: Gurney Jason K. , Stanley James , Rumball-Smith Juliet , York Steve , Sarfati Diana
Published: April 2018

OBJECTIVE

The objectives of this study were to 1) describe postoperative mortality after lower-limb amputation in a national prevalent cohort of patients with diabetes, and 2) investigate whether postoperative mortality differs by demographic subgroup, patient morbidity level, and health system factors related to the facility in which the amputation occurred.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A national prevalent cohort of 302,339 individuals diagnosed with diabetes between 2005 and 2014 was followed until the end of 2014 for major and minor lower-limb amputation and subsequent postoperative mortality by using national health data collections. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to determine postoperative survival, whereas Cox proportional hazards models were used to describe the relative hazard of postoperative mortality, adjusted for covariates.

RESULTS

A total of 6,352 lower-limb amputations occurred over the study period (2,570 major amputations, 3,782 minor amputations). More than 11% of patients who underwent major amputation died within 30 days, whereas nearly 18% died within 90 days. Death was most common among older patients and indigenous Māori. Sex, deprivation, rurality, hospital volume, admission type, and patient comorbidity were not consistently or substantially independently associated with risk of postoperative mortality.

CONCLUSIONS

In a national prevalent cohort of patients with diabetes, there was high risk of postoperative mortality as well as a differential risk of postoperative mortality by demographic subgroup. Further work is required to investigate the drivers of postoperative mortality among patients with diabetes who undergo amputation.

Authors: Tang Guo , Chen Hui , Yang Xiaoyi , Shen Lin
Published: April 2018

In this paper, the authors investigated on the spectral characteristics of A7N01P-T4 aluminum alloy in MIG, laser, and laser-MIG hybrid welding; calculated the electronic temperature of the welding plasma; and analyzed the difference of three kinds of welding processes with the weld shape. The influence of the oxide film on the spectral characteristics and weld shape of the laser-MIG plasma was investigated. The authors made further research of different welding parameters (laser power, wire feeding speed, and shielding gas flow) on the spectral characteristics of laser-MIG plasma and the weld shape, and then explained the relationship between the plasma and the weld shape. The results are indicated: when the laser power increased from 1 to 4 kW, the spectral intensity, electronic temperature, weld penetration, and weld width increased. When the wire feeding speed increased from 9 to 18 m/min, the spectral intensity, the electronic temperature, weld penetration, and weld width increased. When the shielding gas flow increased from 20 to 40 l/min, the plasma temperature, the penetration depth, and weld width increased. When the protective gas flow increased from 40 to 50 l/min, the electronic temperature, weld penetration, and weld width all decreased, but the argon spectrum intensity and the number of argon atom both increased. In the absence of oxide film, the laser-MIG plasma temperature, the weld penetration, and weld width increased.
A házasságban élő keresztény lét lelkisége és teológiája

Spirituality and Theology of the Married Christian Being.
The „Milieu” where a modern Christian marriage exists, seems to be among not to easy circumstances. It is a double sided situation behind of you with God when you are together with your husband or wife, and behind of you with your wife or husband, when you are together with God. Although, we believe that in the Holy Spirit this two parts can be united into one whole. The marriage as institution is older than Christianity, but it is created and blessed by God from the beginning what’s the source of all holiness or sacrament. Christ gave it to the fullness when He raised it up to Himself. He is the only fundament in what all things stand up and fulfill sacraments, too. The marriage is a sacrament both in the Catholic and Orthodox Church, but from the point of you the of marriage’s mystery, they have some differences in their details. The scholastic Latin and the post patristic eastern Churches perspective the foundation of sacraments like a creation ex nihilo, a discontinuing phenomena, and the sign of the sacraments are caused by Jesus Christ, the Incarnated Son of God. However the patristic tradition and the modern emigrant orthodox theology maintain that the foundation of the sacraments are in the fulfillments of sacrament’s sig or symbol which is created by God in the beginning intentionally in order to be able to reach its own final purpose. The “Love spiral” involves nine different grades which follow each-other again and again. In a really deep love connection these Moments of love need to be realized gradually. These grade are: 1. Calling, 2. Identity, 3. Intimacy, 4. confrontation, 5. Conversion, 6. Reconciliation, 7. Communion, 8. Commitment, 9. Mission. Conclusion. There must be peaceful and friendly but professional confrontations between different parts of the divided Churches to find and looking for together the original place and status of the marriage in the Christianity. Marriage, Church, Sacraments, and particularly Eucharist are united in Jesus Christ ever and forever. This is the reason why Christian sacramental marriage make part of the sacraments of the Church and of Christ as Bride and Bridegroom.
The Image of Jesus in the Philosophy of Vladimir Jankélévitch
Authors: VISKY Sándor Béla
Published: April 2018

Does Jankélévitch identify the Source of creation with that thorne-crowned one of the nonsense of the cross? It seems that Jankélévitch is not only very close to the teaching of the church, but also identifies himself with its most important element, the redeeming death of Christ. And this is not only valid for the young philosopher before the War, but also for the mature thinker in the years following the Holocaust, the author of the Moral philosophy.But in his writings an existence defined by the gaze directed to God, or simply the existence in front of him, coram Deo, is not an ontological basis that makes everything possible and is an inexhaustible source of love for every virtue, but – strangely – a competitor for the attention and love directed to man. He does not recognize the drama of the cross as the infinite, divine repository of the solidary love of anyone humiliated and tormented. He also does not see the prayer as a possibility and gift of grace of a personal relationship with the Quod which is able to refill the easily emptying spiritual reserves of the commitment to the starving and persecuted. Jankélévitch’s hyperbolic ethics cannot be rooted in the soil of eternity.

Resumen El tema del presente ensayo es el análisis de la confusión epistemológica de la metamorfosis del concepto de "yo" en la historia. Advierte el peligroso cambio de autoconciencia que ha tenido nuestra  especie, de qué forma el ego de la especie humana trabaja silenciosamente, y cómo está  bajo amenaza una concepción del "nosotros" lejos de todo individualismo y especismo. Se destaca la importancia de reinventar la noción del "nosotros" por parte del ser humano, para vernos como un conjunto armónico.Palabras clave: metamorfosis del yo, autoconciencia, ecologism, nosotros. Abstract  The theme of the present essay is the analysis of the epistemological vagueness of the concept of 'I' due to the metamorphosis this notion has suffered throughout history. It analyzes the dangerous change of self-conciousness that has had our species, in what way human ego works silently, and how our conception of 'us' is under threat, far from all individualism and speciesism. It underlines the human need and importance of rebuiding the notion of 'us', in order to see ourselves as a harmonious whole.Key words:  metamorphosis of 'I', self-awareness, ecologism, us.

Differentiation and Typology of the Moravian Countryside
Authors: Stonawská Kateřina , Vaishar Antonín
Published: April 2018

The authors argue that differentiation of various types of countryside is more important than to look for the definition of the rural against the urban. The paper is aimed at a typology of the Moravian countryside. Based on multifunctional (both hard and soft) data, Moravian micro-regions were divided into four categories – progressive, deficit and suburban countryside and predominantly urban micro-regions. Each of the categories has its own characteristics, threats, and needs. The authors stress that the approach of regional politics and both European and national subsidies have to take into account different categories of rural micro-regions. However, particular decisions have to be made in the intersection of the lowest regional level and the bottom-up approach expressed by community lead local development.

Published: April 2018

Gafchromic films have been used to measure X-ray doses in diagnostic radiology such as computed tomography. The double-exposure technique is used to correct non-uniformity error of Gafchromic EBT2 films. Because of the heel effect of diagnostic x-rays, ultraviolet A (UV-A) is intended to be used as a substitute for x-rays. When using a UV-A light-emitting diode (LED), it is necessary to determine the effective optimal UV wavelength for the active layer of Gafchromic EBT2 films. This study evaluated the relation between the increase in color density of Gafchromic EBT2 films and the UV wavelengths. First, to correct non-uniformity, a Gafchromic EBT2 film was pre-irradiated using uniform UV-A radiation for 60 min from a 72-cm distance. Second, the film was irradiated using a UV-LED with a wavelength of 353-410 nm for 60 min from a 5.3-cm distance. The maximum, minimum, and mean ± standard deviation (SD) of pixel values of the subtraction images were evaluated using 0.5 inches of a circular region of interest (ROI). The highest mean ± SD (8915.25 ± 608.86) of the pixel value was obtained at a wavelength of 375 nm. The results indicated that 375 nm is the most effective and sensitive wavelength of UV-A for Gafchromic EBT2 films and that UV-A can be used as a substitute for x-rays in the double-exposure technique.

Background and aims: Comparative estimation of metformin treatment effectiveness in adult and young rats with metabolic syndrome (MS).

Materials and methods: A metabolic syndrome model was induced by full replacement of drinking water with 20% fructose solution in Wistar albino male rats of two age categories (young animals of 21 days age (50-70g) and adults (160-180g)). After 60 days of MS modelling and metformin treatment, hematological, biochemical, blood pressure, chromatin DNA fragmentation investigations, as well as morphological macroscopic and microscopic studies were carried out.

Results: In young rats, effects of metformin on blood clotting time, lipid metabolism and DNA fragmentation were more pronounced. Mature rats showed greater susceptibility to this drug as for influence on pancreas and visceral fat relative weights.

Conclusions: In our experiment with young and adult rats with MS and metformin treatment we showed that this preparation effect was age-dependent for lipid metabolism indices, blood clotting time, nuclear DNA fragmentation parameters, as well as for changes of relative organs weights and target organs morphological structure. Metformin treatment allowed a partial normalization of serum levels of lowdensity lipoproteins (LDLP) and ratio high lowdensity lipoproteins / lowdensity lipoproteins (HDLP/LDLP), hemoglobin contents, hematocrit percentage, DNA fragmentation rates, with simultaneous worsening in blood clotting time, blood pressure levels, liver and pancreas relative organs weights (of young rats).

Mangrove forests in the coastal regions are very effective and efficient in reducing the concentration carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, because mangroves can absorb CO2 through photosynthesis by diffusion through the stomata and then store carbon in the form of biomass. The purpose of this study, namely: (1) Determine the percentage of organic carbon in the soil in former mangrove forest ponds in Perancak and (2) Determine the vertical variation of the percentage of organic carbon stored in soils in former mangrove forest ponds in Perancak. The method used from this study is the loss on ignition (LOI). The average percentage of organic carbon in mangrove forest area of the former farm of 50.181 % C or 184.618 Mg/ha. The average vertical variations of each depth, that is: depth (0-15 cm) 50.487 % C, (15- 30 cm) 50.781 % C, (30-50 cm) 50.550 % C, (50- 100 cm) 51.689 % C, and (> 100 cm) 47.396 % C.

Remote sensing application is one of the best data to observing spatial and temporal situation on earth surface. Application of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer) are use for spatial and temporal analysis of rainfall and sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly over Indonesia in 2010. Spatial and temporal rainfall and SST anomaly data is important, especially during El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Modoki events, because has wide effect of social and economy in Indonesia. Monthly rainfall data measured by the TRMM 3B43 over the course of 13 years and Monthly SST collected by the MODIS was employed to analyze anomaly of rainfall and SST over Indonesia during ENSO Modoki Event in 2010. In spatio-temporal seen confirmed during ENSO Modoki in 2010 indicate an anomaly has occurred on rainfall and SST over Indonesia. The result shows that increasing of rainfall anomaly begin from April in Nusa Tenggara archipelago and eastern of Java and finish in November in those region. Meanwhile, analysis result of MODIS satellite data for SST anomaly is shown at the beginning of 2010, SST anomaly begin occurred in western of Indonesia and the biggest was happen in southern of Indonesia at August to September and finish at November. Spatio-temporal analysis TRMM dan MODIS data shows that increasing of SST anomaly could affect increasing of rainfall anomaly in those same regions excepted in January to March.

Water quality monitoring is one of important activity, especially in coastal water, which susceptive with pollution. Water area of Serangan Island is a tidal flat area, influenced by fresh water and sea water inputs. The existence activities, such as cage aquaculture and tourism, and input from river, are threatened to decrease the water quality in north of Serangan water. This research was conducted to the condition of water quality based on water quality standard for aquatic organisms and its spatial distribution. The parameters measured were temperature, salinity, pH, DO, turbidity, and BOD5, in 8 sample points. Some parameters measured directly on water surface (temperature, salinity, pH and DO) and the others were analyzed in laboratory (turbidity, and BOD5). BOD5 was analyzed by standard method of Delzer & McKenzie. Based on research, the result of temperature values ranged from 28,9°C-30,5°C; salinity 29,6 ppt-32,7 ppt; pH 7,7-7,9; DO 3 mg/L-4,4 mg/L; turbidity 1,9 ntu-7,6 ntu; and BOD5 2,8 mg/L-5,4 mg/L. The water quality in Serangan had a different spatial distribution in each parameters. Overall, based on research result, the water quality condition in the body water of Serangan island was good and suitable to support aquatic organisms living.

Sea cucumbers have a high economic potential and widely used by the community as food with nutrient content and high enough protein. The occurrence of an organism, including sea cucumbers in a waters is determined by the environmental factors of the waters, one of which is habitat. This study aims to determine the distribution of sea cucumbers (Holoturoidea) in the Coastal Waters of Nusa Lembongan, District Nusa Penida, Klungkung regency, Bali. This research was conducted in April-May 2017 in the Coastal Waters of Nusa Lembongan. This study looked at the distribution of sea cucumbers (Holoturoidea), substrate composition, physics-chemical parameters of waters (temperature, depth, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen) and their relation to habitat conditions spread over Nusa Lembongan Coastal Waters. Data analysis in this study include the composition of sea cucumber, density of sea cucumber, the diversity of sea cucumber, and distribution of sea cucumbers. The results of the research conducted found 4 species of sea cucumber namely the type of Holothuria atra, Bohadchia vitiensis, Holothuria fuscocinerea and Holothuria sp.

Service and Design as Mechanisms to Impassion the Study of Engineering, from K-12 to Higher Education
Authors: Houchens Brent C
Published: April 2018

Service and design provide mechanisms to introduce students to successive stages of engineering education.  These activities positively influence outreach to K-12 students, recruiting of women and underrepresented minorities to engineering, retention of undergraduate engineering students, and encouragement and funding for graduate education.  Furthermore, service and design provide continuity and motivation across engineering education.  These offer experiential learning opportunities in practical problem solving, while simultaneously promoting personal development of communication skills and team leadership.  Strategies are discussed for implementing service and design components in engineering education at all levels, from K-12 to graduate education.  For K-12 outreach, a mentoring program called DREAM is highlighted.  Opportunities for outreach and externally reviewed proposal writing and presentations are discussed in the context of undergraduate design.  These can be implemented through both traditional course work and alternative design projects.  Finally, the impact of all of the above activities on graduate education, particularly graduate funding, is discussed.

Published: April 2018

As part of a long term engagement in a rural community in western Belize, students responded to community leaders’ requests for an investigation of possible solutions to their water quality and supply problems. A student research team comprised of engineering and college students aimed to employ participatory action research methods to further understand existing challenges and develop a prototype for a water treatment and supply system. After careful analysis of local resources and constraints, the team decided that the most successful solution would combine the use of biofilters to purify the public spring water supply and improved rainwater collection to make use of the extensive storm season. An integrated prototype of these systems was built at the village government school with the purpose of serving as a model for replication in households throughout the village. In a discussion of the team’s methods and reflections, this paper emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between making a design both relevant to the community and technologically successful.

Although fresh water is an abundant resource in the Peruvian Amazon, the contamination renders it unsafe for human consumption. Many villages have little means to purify their water nor understand why it is warranted. An engineering group from the University of Alabama facilitated by Nature and Culture International, visited the Amazonian village of Ayacucho to perform an evaluation of the residents’ attitudes, quality of water sources in the immediate area and an existing water treatment system. A better understanding of the village’s concerns and issues was gained despite the language barrier. Results indicate that the local water sources are contaminated and that the water treatment is reducing these contaminants.

Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a catastrophic epilepsy syndrome which is characterized by acute onset of refractory status epilepticus following a febrile infection occurring in previously normal children. Despite the various treatment options that have been tried, exact treatment strategy is still undetermined. This is the first pediatric case of FIRES from Turkey which was successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). A previously healthy 8-year-old boy was referred to our hospital with a pre-diagnosis of status epilepticus and encephalitis. He presented with acute onset of convulsions and unconsciousness following fever and malaise lasting 7 days. On physical examination Glasgow coma scale was 12, his pupils were miotic. He had cafe-au-lait spots on his body. His fundus examination, cerebrospinal fluid findings and cranial magnetic resonance imaging did not reveal any abnormality. Results of comprehensive search for metabolic, toxicological, infectious and autoimmune etiologies were all negative. Generalized slowing was seen on the electroencephalography (EEG) of the patient indicating possible encephalopathy. The patient developed convulsive status epilepticus and was intubated on day 5. His seizures were controlled by continuous infusion of midazolam, thiopental and used for 4 days. Phenytoin, levetiracetam, topiramate were used simultaneously. IVIG was administered as an immunomodulator for refractory seizures on day-9. The patient was extubated on day 11. The diagnosis was made after a comprehensive negative search for central nervous system infection, autoimmune and metabolic diseases. At follow up it was learnt that he had had only two seizures in two years. Status epilepticus did not recur. Clinicians should keep in mind FIRES which is a diagnosis of exclusion especially in refractory status epilepticus. IVIG treatment could have a benefit in these patients.
