Interactions between Autophagy and DNA Viruses
Authors: Yin Hai-chang , Shao Shu-li , Jiang Xin-jie , Xie Peng-yu , Sun Wan-shu , Yu Tian-fei
Published: August 2019

Autophagy is a catabolic biological process in the body. By targeting exogenous microorganisms and aged intracellular proteins and organelles and sending them to the lysosome for phagocytosis and degradation, autophagy contributes to energy recycling. When cells are stimulated by exogenous pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses, activation or inhibition of autophagy is often triggered. As autophagy has antiviral effects, many viruses may escape and resist the process by encoding viral proteins. At the same time, viruses can also use autophagy to enhance their replication or increase the persistence of latent infections. Here, we give a brief overview of autophagy and DNA viruses and comprehensively review the known interactions between human and animal DNA viruses and autophagy and the role and mechanisms of autophagy in viral DNA replication and DNA virus-induced innate and acquired immunity.
Immune-Escape Hepatitis B Virus Mutations Associated with Viral Reactivation upon Immunosuppression

Published: August 2019

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation occurs as a major complication of immunosuppressive therapy among persons who have recovered from acute hepatitis and those who have controlled chronic infection. Recent literature data emphasize the presence of a high degree of S gene variability in HBV isolates from patients who developed reactivation. In reactivated HBV, the most frequently detected mutations belong to the second loop of “a” determinant in HBsAg. These mutations were identified to be immune escape and responsible for vaccine- and diagnostic-escape phenomena. Their emergence clearly provides survival in the presence of a developed humoral immune response and is often associated with impaired serological diagnosis of HBV reactivation. The knowledge of their existence and roles can elucidate the process of reactivation and strongly highlights the importance of HBV DNA detection in monitoring all patients with a history of HBV infection who are undergoing immunosuppression. This review discusses the possible influence of the most frequently found immune-escape mutations on HBV reactivation.

The severe strain of citrus tristeza virus (CTV) causes quick decline of citrus trees. However, the CTV mild strain causes no symptoms and commonly presents in citrus trees. Viral suppressor of RNA silencing (VSR) plays an important role in the successful invasion of viruses into plants. For CTV, VSR has mostly been studied in severe strains. In this study, the N4 mild strain in China was sequenced and found to have high sequence identity with the T30 strain. Furthermore, we verified the functions of three VSRs in the N4 strain, and p23 was found to be the most effective in terms of local silencing suppressor activity among the three CTV VSRs and localized to both nucleus and plasmodesmata, which is similar to CTV T36 strain. Several conserved amino acids were identified in p23. Mutation of E95A/V96A and M99A/L100AA impaired p23 protein stability. Consequently, these two mutants lost most of its suppressor activity and their protein levels could not be rescued by co-expressing p19. Q93A and R143A/E144A abolished p23 suppressor activity only and their protein levels increased to wild type level when co-expressed with p19. This work may facilitate a better understanding of the pathogenic mechanism of CTV mild strains.

Published: August 2019

After vaccination, vaccine components must activate the immune response, but the ideal vaccine should not result in undesirable effects in cattle. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inflammatory and humoral responses and adverse reactions induced by three adjuvanted commercial vaccines against bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1). Holstein heifers (n = 35) were divided into four groups by adjuvant compounds: Vaccine A (Alum; n = 9), Vaccine B (Oil-in-water; n = 10), Vaccine C (Amphigen/Quil A cholesterol and dimethyl-dioctadecyl ammonium (DDA) bromide (QAD; n = 10), and Control (n = 6). Heifers were assessed at 0 h, 6, 24, 48, 72 and 168 h post-vaccination; serology was evaluated at first dose (D0), booster (D21) and D42. Heifers vaccinated with Vaccine B (p = 0.0001) and C (p = 0.0001) had a more intense local reaction, while there was a higher rectal temperature detected in heifers vaccinated with Vaccine C (p = 0.020). There was greater systemic reaction observed for heifers vaccinated with Vaccines B and C at 48 h (p = 0.002) after a second dose. Clinical pathology parameters [white blood count (WBC) (p = 0.001), neutrophils (p = 0.0001) and haptoglobin concentrations (p = 0.0001)] were higher in animals vaccinated with Vaccine C. Neutralizing Abs against BVDV type 1 strains, NADL and Singer, were detected in animals vaccinated with Vaccines A or C at D42, while BVDV-2 antibodies were detected only in animals vaccinated with Vaccine C. A BHV-1 antibody was detected in all three vaccine groups (Vaccines A, B or C) at day 42 (21 days post booster vaccination). The findings of this research were based on three different commercial laboratory formulations and also according to the conditions which the study was conducted. In this context, vaccine containing mineral oil or Amphigen/QAD presented greater local reactivity and induced a significant systemic inflammatory response. Vaccinated heifers with Alum and Amphigen/QAD commercial vaccines enhanced humoral immune response against BVDV and BHV-1.
Evaluating the Risk-Based Performance of Bioinfiltration Facilities under Climate Change Scenarios
Authors: Lewellyn Conor , Wadzuk Bridget
Published: August 2019

Many communities throughout the world are utilizing green infrastructure practices to mitigate the projected impacts of climate change. While some areas of the world are anticipating droughts, other areas are preparing for an increased flood risk, due to changes in precipitation volume and intensity. Cities rely on practices such as bioinfiltration to sustainably capture stormwater runoff and provide resilience against climate change. As cities aim to increase resilience and decrease climate-change-associated risks, a greater understanding of these risks is needed. A risk-based approach was used to evaluate bioinfiltration design and performance. Climate projections from the Couple Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 were used to create near-term (2020–2049) and long-term (2050–2079) climate datasets for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, using two representative concentration pathways (RCPs 2.6 and 8.5). Both near-term and long-term climate models demonstrated increased precipitation and daily temperatures, similar to other areas in the U.S. Northeast, Midwest, Great Plains, and Alaska. Climate data were used to model bioinfiltration practices using continuous simulation hydrologic models. Overflow events and cumulative risk increased from bioinfiltration sites when compared to the baseline scenario (1970–1999). This study demonstrates how to apply a risk-based approach to bioinfiltration design using climate projections and provides recommendations to increase resilience in bioinfiltration design.
Resistance of Laminar Drain Reinforcement Levee against Overflow Erosion
Authors: Kurakami Yuki , Nihei Yasuo
Published: August 2019

As a method for reinforcing against overflow erosion and infiltration, this study investigated a laminar drain reinforcement (LDR) levee, in which the drain layers are set on the back slope and connected to concrete panels using geogrid layers. We examined the resistance against overflow erosion of the LDR levee by large-scale model tests with a 1 m high model levee. We also compared the resistance of an armored levee, which is covered with concrete panels, and a GRS (geosynthetic-reinforced soil) levee, in which the geogrid layers are laid in the levee body with connecting concrete panels. The results of the model tests reveal that: (1) the LDR levee can maintain the initial height and shape for more than 150 min; by comparison, the times to levee failure were 87 and 102 min for the armored and GRS levees, respectively; (2) the LDR levee was shown to have a highly tenacious structure offering resistance to overflow erosion. In particular, panels easily flowed out with a slight gap (less than 1 cm) for the armored levee, while the LDR levee was able to prevent flowing out of panels and the erosion of the levee body, thanks to the laminar drain at the back slope, even when the gaps between the surface panels exceeded 5 cm.
Research on the Allocation of Flood Drainage Rights of the Sunan Canal Based on a Bi-level Multi-Objective Programming Model

Published: August 2019

To reduce flood disasters and optimize of the comprehensive benefit of the water basin, the allocation of regional flood drainage rights is of great significance. Using the “top-down” allocation mode, we consider the influence of the social, economic, and ecological environments, flood drainage demand and efficiency, and other factors on the allocation of flood drainage rights. A bi-level multi-objective programming model from the perspective of fairness and efficiency is established for the allocation. The Sunan Canal is taken as a typical case study. The model is solved by the multi-objective optimal allocation method and the master–slave hierarchical interactive iteration algorithm. After three iterations of the initial solution, the allocation of flood drainage rights in six flood control regions finally reach an effective state. The results of the model were compared with results based on historical allocation principles, showing that the bi-level multi-objective programming model, based on the principles of fairness and efficiency, is more in line with the current social and economic development of the canal. In view of the institutional background of water resources management in China and the flood drainage pressure faced by various regions, the allocation of flood drainage rights should be comprehensively considered in combination with various factors, and the market mechanism should be utilized to optimize the allocation.

Análise de erros: robótica educacional e raciocínio proporcional
Authors: Cavalcante Thayrine Farias , Lins Abigail Fregni
Published: August 2019

Nosso artigo diz respeito a um estudo de pesquisa sobre uso de kits de Robótica Educacional com relação ao raciocínio proporcional. Buscamos responder a viabilidade, se alguma, de se utilizar Robótica Educacional em aulas de Matemática. Em caso afirmativo, em que medida o seu uso auxilia a aprendizagem. Tomamos análise de erros como nosso norte analítico. A pesquisa de campo se deu em três etapas ao longo de quatro dias com dezenove alunos do 8º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública de Campina Grande, Paraíba. A primeira etapa buscou identificar os conhecimentos prévios dos alunos acerca da Matemática. Já a segunda versou sobre ambientação e aplicação de uma proposta didática desenvolvida. E a etapa final implicou na aplicação de um Questionário Final, objetivando identificar as possíveis mudanças nos conhecimentos dos alunos. A proposta didática desenvolvida contém duas partes abordando Geometria e Raciocínio Proporcional, respectivamente, sendo parte I com apenas uma atividade e parte II com três. Em nosso artigo, apresentamos e discutimos duas das três atividades realizadas por um trio entre os dezenove alunos com relação à parte II de nossa proposta didática. A partir de nossos resultados, de modo geral, o trio de alunos teve um desempenho satisfatório. Podemos afirmar que Robótica Educacional é um recurso motivador e pode auxiliar nas aulas de Matemática. Destacamos que professores ao fazer uso de kits de Robótica Educacional em suas aulas devem ter cuidado e percepção que nem sempre poderão utilizá-los, para determinados conteúdos matemáticos, pois Robótica Educacional tem suas limitações.

“Adeus, verde esperança!”: integralismo e a morte de Plínio Salgado
Authors: Revista de História Locus
Published: August 2019

O artigo analisa as disputas e estratégias políticas dos integralistas ao longo da ditadura civil-militar que teve início em 1964. A análise enfatiza, em particular, as relações entre os integralistas, a liderança de Plínio Salgado e os impactos da morte do líder integralista em 1975. A hipótese central levantada é que o absoluto respeito à liderança, assim como o culto à personalidade de Plínio Salgado, enfraqueceram as iniciativas relativamente autônomas dos integralistas, seja no contexto autoritário, bem como durante o processo de transição democrática.
Problems of Assessing Relative Profitability of Modern Russian Electric Power Industry
Authors: Kareva A. S.
Published: August 2019

The contraction in investment activity and capital reversals from the electric power industry to other energy sectors in Russia poses a potential threat to the country’s energy supply. Identifying the causes of low investment attractiveness of the electric power industry in order to justify directions of regulatory impacts relates to a comparative assessment of the industry profitability. It gives greater urgency to the development of the relevant methodological guidelines.

The paper presents the study of the two mutually reinforcing methods for measuring the profitability of the Russian energy industries and comparative analysis of electric power industry and industries related to the extraction and processing of oil and gas using data from Rosstat. The authors identified the strengths and weaknesses of the two methods used. In particular, it is shown that the method for calculating macroeconomic profitability thought versatile and straightforward is sensitive to changes in the initial data generation technique and its quality. Whereas, the application of the second method based on the aggregation of data on prices and structure of intermediate consumption of enterprises is limited to industries not participating in export-import operations.

Through the practical application of the abovementioned methods, the author did not find any gaps in profitability between the power industry and other energy sectors. Hence, the relatively low investment attractiveness of the power industry is mainly due to structural causes (for example, pricing; low market efficiency). Economic and statistical analysis of the current situation allows, in the authors’ opinion, to make target government actions. Moreover, adequate management is a precondition for further improvements to the methodology of profitability analysis of energy sectors, primarily, advancement towards disaggregation of the considered indicators and data availability.
The Decursivum Group of Elaphoglossum sect. Polytrichia (Dryopteridaceae): Non-subulate Species Nested in an Otherwise Subulate-scaled Clade
Authors: Matos Fernando B. , Labiak Paulo H. , Moran Robbin C.
Published: August 2019

Elaphoglossum Schott ex J. Sm. sect. Polytrichia Christ is characterized by the presence of subulate scales and the absence of hydathodes. We did a molecular phylogenetic analysis using three non-coding plastid markers and found that five species thought to belong to section Elaphoglossum are actually members of section Polytrichia. The five species were previously thought to belong to section Elaphoglossum because they lack the characteristic subulate scales of section Polytrichia. We refer to these species as the Decursivum Group. We assign two other species to this group based on their morphological similarity to the known members of the group. Besides lacking subulate scales on the laminae, the seven species of the Decursivum Group are distinctive by having a submarginal connecting vein, a character otherwise absent in section Polytrichia. The group is entirely Neotropical, occurring at middle elevations and extending from the West Indies and Mexico to Bolivia and southeastern Brazil. For the Decursivum Group, we provide a taxonomic treatment including a key, descriptions, illustrations, distribution maps, discussion, and lists of specimens examined. Lectotypes are designated for Acrostichum miersii Baker and A. papyraceum Fée. A new species from the Andes, E. vascoae F. B. Matos & R. C. Moran, is described and illustrated.
QR Code As the Delivery of Information to Universities

Published: August 2019

Abstract

Wall or magazine magazines are a means of delivering information on Raharja College campus. In the delivery of information, the magazine has been widely spread in several applications of Raharja College, iRan and GreenDoc. However, this is still not optimal because the method used is still using paper. And also the lack of awareness of students will read the information on the magazine. QR codes are a type of two-dimensional matrix code or bar code developed by Denso Wave in 1994. With that, the form of information is reduced to a QR code that can store detailed information displayed on a monitor screen available at several strategic corners of the campus and scan the code on the main page of the online magazine website. The method used is the waterfall method, observation, and literature study and journal references as supporting in writing. This research was designed to make it easier to access information and attract reading interest to students of Raharja College.
Analisis Pengawasan Sistem Pengajaran di Edu Smart Learning Center Medan
Authors: Anggraini Dewi
Published: August 2019

Edu Smart Learning Center Medan merupakan sebuah tempat kursus yang bergerak di bidang pengajaran Bahasa Inggris dan Bahasa Mandarin. Dari informasi yang diperoleh penulis melalui wawancara informal dengan guru tempat kursus ini, diketahui bahwa ada beberapa guru yang melakukan pengajaran dengan Bahasa Indonesia. Seharusnya guru-guru tidak diperbolehkan mengajar dengan Bahasa Indonesia. Guru- guru di Edu Smart Learning Center seharusnya mengajar dengan  Bahasa Inggris (all english) atau dengan Bahasa Mandarin (all mandarin). Hal tersebut menunjukan indikasi adanya masalah dalam pengawasan sistem pengajaran. Oleh karena itulah, penulis bermaksud meneliti lebih lanjut mengenai pengawasan sistem pengajaran di Yayasan Edu Smart learning Center Medan. Handoko (2003:363) menjelaskan bahwa terdapat lima jenis kriteria dalam proses pengawasan, antara lain kriteria berdasarkan Standarisasi, Penentuan Penilaian, Penentuan Kegiatan, Perbandingan Standar dengan Pelaksanaan Nyata dan Hasil Evaluasi. Adapun metode dilakukan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan oleh penulis dalam penelitian ini adalah metode wawancara terstruktur. Dari wawancara yang telah dilakukan dengan sejumlah narasumber lalu menghubungkannya dengan Handoko (2003:363) menjelaskan bahwa terdapat lima jenis kriteria dalam proses pengawasan, penulis memperoleh kesimpulan mengenai pengawasan system pengajaran di Edu Smart learning Center Medan pada tahun 2015. Tingkat pengawasan dapat digolongkan baik. Secara garis besar, pengawasan yang diterapkan di Edu Smart sudah tergolong baik tetapi ada juga kelemahan pada pengawasan absensi yaitu guru-guru libur seenaknya. Guru-guru memiliki pengetahuan dan keterampilan sesuai dengan bidangnya masing-masing. Pengukuran kegiatan guru sangat jarang dilakukan inilah kelemahan dari itu maka tidak dapat diketahui apa saja yang dilakukan guru pada saat mengajar. Guru-guru di Edu Smart sebagian besar tidak membuat laporan tentang pengajaran mereka tetapi ada juga yang membuat laporan tersebut ini membuat susahnya pengukuran pengawasan.

Authors: ŞEN Alper , GÜLER Yavuz
Published: August 2019

Background:
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between primary
nocturnal enuresis (PNE) and upper airway obstructive pathologies such as
allergic rhinitis (AR), nasal septum deviation (NSD), adenoid hypertrophy (AD)
and tonsillar hypertrophy (TH).Methods: The study included
78 volunteer PNE patients (42 males, 36 females; mean age: 7.2 ± 1.6 years,
range: 5.4 to 11.6 years) who applied to Pediatrics and Urology outpatient
clinics of a second-stage hospital between June 1, 2018 and September 1, 2018.
The control group included 72 volunteer children (34 males, 38 females; mean
age: 7.6 ± 1.4 years, range: 5.1 to 12.7 years) who were admitted to the
inpatient outpatient clinics of the same hospital and had no PNE complaint. All
participants included in the study were applied routine physical examination,
flexible fiberoptic nasopharyngoscopy and score for allergic rhinitis (SFAR)
questionnaire. Brodsky scale and fiberendoscopic findings were used to classify
tonsil and adenoid dimensions respectively.Results: There was no
significant difference between PNE (+) and PNE (-) groups in terms of age and
gender (respectively p = 0.203 and p = 0.819). Although AR and NSD were similar
in both groups, the ratio of AH and TH was statistically significantly higher
in the PNE (+) group (p = 0.016 and p = 0.05, respectively).

Conclusion:
Adenotonsillar hypertrophy must be considered in children with primary
nocturnal enuresis.

Abstract: In carrying out his duties as a supervisor, the principal is obliged to help the teacher provide support so that he can carry out his duties properly. To carry out his professional duties, the teacher needs to understand and appreciate the form of the student as the person he will guide. On the other hand, the teacher must also understand and appreciate the form of the children of graduates as a picture of the results of their education expected by the community in accordance with the philosophy of life and the values adopted by the Indonesian people. In improving the quality of education education must be available that has professional experts or teachers. In other words, so that education can have more use and results of use and later expected to be able to answer the above problems, then the teacher still needs guidance and direction from the principal as the leader and the person in charge of the group Keywords: Principal as Supervisor and Teacher Professionalism

MODELING OF NONLINEAR VIBRATION PROBLEMS WITH
FLUID FLOWS THROUGH PIPELINES
Authors: Тurayev F.J.
Published: August 2019

In this paper, mathematical model of nonlinear vibration problems with fluid flows through pipelines have been developed. Using the Bubnov–Galerkin method for the boundary conditions, the resulting nonlinear integro-differential equations with partial derivatives are reduced to solving systems of nonlinear ordinary integro-differential equations with both constant and variable coefficients as functions of time.A system of algebraic equations is obtained according to numerical method for the unknowns. The influence of the singularity of heredity kernels on the vibrations of structures possessing viscoelastic properties is numerically investigated.It was found that the determination of the effect of viscoelastic properties of the construction material on vibrations of the pipeline with a flowing liquid requires applying weakly singular hereditary kernels with an Abel type singularity.

Wireless Network is been used widely in the recent years due to its low-cost nature. More number of real time applications have been used by varied segments of users across the world. The advancements in the mobile technology have made ad hoc networks as important and active field of communication and networks. Most of the time the network cannot handle the traffic in the network which ultimately affects the Quality of Service (QoS). The conventional Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) cannot handle this huge volume of traffic and control the congestion in the network. This issue in the wireless network is been addressed by various researchers in the world but still the scope and need for improvements are more. This paper analyzes many TCP congestion control mechanisms and proposes an efficient approach for congestion control by estimating Channel Occupancy Ratio (COR). The COR is estimated based on machine learning algorithm which is trained using the historical data extracted from MAC layer. This cross layer based approach is found to be more efficient when compared to other methods proposed in the literature.

One of climate change's most important concerns at the moment is its impact on hydrology as it has direct links with agriculture, vegetation, and livelihood. This study tries to analyze potential future climate change in the Kumaradhara river basin. This study involved three steps: (1) acquiring and using general circulation model (GCM) to project future global climate scenarios; (2) establishing statistical relationships between GCM data and observed data using Statistical Downscaling Model (SDSM); (3) downscaling the second generation Canadian Earth system Model (CanESM2)GCM output based on the established statistical relationship. The statistical downscaling is carried out for three scenarios used in the fifth evaluation report of the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) viz., Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5. The statistical downscaling Model (SDSM) results showed that the mean annual daily precipitation is altered in the basin under all the scenarios but it will be different in different time periods depending on scenarios and the basin will experience the reduced precipitation levels in summer. Also the precipitation will marginally rise in all the time slices with reference to baseline data. We can conclude from the results that this region's climate will affect future farming as the availability of water is bound to change. This study should, however, be followed up by a larger study incorporating multiple CMIP5 models such that changes in hydrological-regimes can be examined appropriately.
