Ecofact is a key for investigating mode of adaptation. Ecofact that commonly found on archaeological sites especially on inhabited caves were shell deposits. Fundamentally, the formation of archaeological record was resulted from behavioral processes and transformational processes. However, the problem is that we can’t observe them, because those aspects had occurred in past time. Etnoarchaeological study can be used to solve those problems. Ethnoarchaeology studies have given contribution to interpret various aspects of human life of the past, starting from issues related to the technological and tools systems, subsistence, social systems, and processes of transformation. Therefore, this ethnoarchaeological research investigates behavioral system of coastal community who has collected, consumed, and discarded sea shells. The result of this research can be used as a model from formation processes of sea shell ecofact.

Published: March 2018

Radiocarbon dating is a tool for age determination of a carbon sample. During the time, synthesis benzene method is used for age determination mentioned. By this method it could be analyzed one sample per day only with high material cost. Lately, it has been developed a new method, namely CO2 absorption method. The latest method is often called as direct counting CO2, because radioisotope of 14C in CO2 is counted directly and converted to age. The aim of the development and the use of the method are supporting some research in isotope hydrology, oceanography, climatology, geology, and archeology by faster, economic and practice. The result of 14C analyses for the same sample using the CO2 absorption when compared to the synthesis benzene method is relatively equal.

Published: March 2018

The existence of Semarang city as a trading town on the north coast of Java had been going on since the founding of Old Mataram Kingdom and continues to grow, until the period of Dutch colonial rule. The rapid development as a city of Semarang in the Dutch colonial period was marked by the establishment of the buildings at the site which is now called Semarang Old Town. Most of these buildings serve as offices and private VOC trade. Over time, Semarang became not only a trading center but it evolved into a gemeente (municipality), up to the present period. Nevertheless, there seems to be lack of interest in making the history of Semarang as a subject in teaching history at the local level, especially in educational circles, as the subject matter in teaching history. As a source of considerable historical importance, there is nothing wrong if a teacher of History, especially in the city of Semarang, making the Old City as a source of learning for students in the city of Semarang. Therefore the existence of sites as well as historical buildings in the city of Semarang is should no longer simply regarded as old buildings that have without meaning. And at least it will foster public awareness of Semarang city, especially among students to participate in regard to keep the existence of the Old Town and make it as an asset of History and Tourism in the city of Semarang.

Published: March 2018

This article presents an architectural and epigraphical study of several objects recovered from the Central Javanese temple site of Gunung Sari. The site has yielded unique cylindrical stone objects, some of which bear short inscriptions in Old Javanese language indicating the directions of space. Based on architectural arguments, we conclude that the temple was a Śaiva monument. The cylindrical objects were most likely placed originally in the floor of the platform of the temple, where they covered foundation deposits placed during the construction of the temple in connection with the ritual preparation of the ground plan. Although objects exactly identical in shape have thus far not been discovered in Java, objects that had different shapes but similar ritual functions can be identified at other more or less contemporary sites in the region. Some of these bear inscriptions. The inscriptions of Candi Gunung Sari are, however, unique in that they offer by far the oldest (nearly) complete system of eight directions of space expressed in Javanese terms.

Forensic archeology is defined as the application of archaeological principles and techniques in medico-legal and/or humanity context related to buried evidence. Forensic archaeologist has two roles, as the expert who unearth buried objects systematically and reconstruct them. This paper discusses the role of archeology and archaeologists in the excavation of criminal, humanitarian and disaster victims. Archaeologist’s role to revealpaleoanthropological materials smuggled and theft is also discussed in this paper. Humanitarian missions to investigate mass grave of victims of war, political strife and genocide in the past and the present are other archaeologist’s role discussed in this paper. The existence, condition and development of forensic archaeology in Indonesia emphasize the significance of new paradigm in Indonesian archaeology. Forensic archeology not merely focusess on the study of cultural materials of the past, education and museum development, cultural resource management and its advocacy, but it also has role in medico-legal works. Forensic archaeologist also engages in disaster victim identification (DVI) that addresses issues related to victims buried by either natural or human disasters.Arkeologi forensik didefinisikan sebagai penerapan prinsip-prinsip dan teknik-teknik arkeologis dalam konteks medico-legal dan/atau dalam konteks kemanusiaan yang berkaitan dengan bukti-bukti terkubur. Ahli arkeologi forensik berperan sebagai ahli yang mampu menemukan benda-benda yang terkubur secara sistematis dan merekonstruksi apa yang mereka temukan itu. Makalah ini mendiskusikan peran arkeologi dan para arkeolog dalam ekskavasi korban-korban kriminal, kemanusiaan dan bencana. Makalah ini berusaha melihat apa yang telah mereka kerjakan meliputi pembuktian kasus-kasus penyelundupan dan pencurian material-materialpaleoantropologis, dan keterlibatan dalam misi-misi kemanusian untuk penyelidikan dan pengungkapan korban-korban kubur massal akibat perang, pertikaian politik dan genosida di masa lalu dan masa kini.Keberadaan, kondisi dan perkembangan arkeologi forensik di Indonesia menegaskan pentingnya pengembangan paradigma baru dalam arkeologi Indonesia. Arkeologi tidak semata berkonsentrasi pada kajian material-material budaya masa lalu, pendidikan dan pengembangan museum, manajemen dan advokasi sumberdaya budaya, namun juga berperan untuk pekerjaan medico-legal. Ahli arkeologi forensik bahkan terlibat dalam disaster victim identification (DVI) yang menangani masalah-masalah yang berkaitan dengan para korban yang terkubur oleh beragambencana baik yang diakibatkan oleh alam maupun manusia.

Published: March 2018

Generally in Indonesia and especially in Java, until now, in East Java dolmens are known to be found in, which is in Bondowoso and Besuki. Lately, it is known that dolmen are also found in the area of Banyuwangi Regency. One of the monuments from this megalithic tradition found in the area of PT. Perkebunan Nusantara XII Malangsari, Banyuwangi, East Java. Based on information from the local community it is estimated that the Malangsari plantation area is the Dolmen Tomb Site. Physically, construction of the dolmen in this area only has a few interference because it is buried between 50-60 cm and covered by a coffee plantation which owned by PT. Perkebunan Nusantara XII. However, some of the dolmens have been excavated by people looters. They were able to open the dolmen tomb simply by opening a stone without unpacking its construction. Dolmen that was found from the excavation at Petak D 55 Sidomaju Block, Afdeling Mulyosari, Malangsari, are still intact if it is seen physically and from the construction, but both the human remains and artifacts ware not found. It is a proof that this dolmen has been opened before. Nevertheless, Malangsari dolmen is a very interesting object to conduct research, because of its wide distribution area and there has not been done a comprehensive research for this object. In the future, this object is important to investigate, both for the development of archaeological research, as well as for the benefit of archaeological resource management in Indonesia.Di Indonesia pada umumnya dan Jawa khususnya, selama ini diketahui bahwa dolmen banyak ditemukan di Jawa Timur, yaitu di Bondowoso dan Besuki. Akhir-akhir ini diketahui bahwa dolmen ditemukan pula di daerah Kabupaten Banyuwangi. Salah satu monumen dari tradisi megalitik ini ditemukan di kawasan PT. Perkebunan Nusantara XII Malangsari, Banyuwangi, Jawa Timur. Berdasarkan informasi dari masyarakat setempat diperkirakan bahwa kawasan Perkebunan Malangsari merupakan situs kubur dolmen. Secara fisik, konstruksi dolmen – dolmen di kawasan ini hanya sedikit mengalami gangguan karena tertimbun tanah antara 50 – 60 cm dan tertutup kebun kopi milik PT. Perkebunan Nusantara XII. Namun, rupanya sebagian dari dolmen tersebut telah digali oleh masyarakat yang bertujuan mencari harta karun. Mereka mampu membuka kubur dolmen cukup dengan membuka sebuah batu tanpa membongkar konstruksinya. Dolmen temuan hasil ekskavasi di Petak D 55 Blok Sidomaju, Afdeling Mulyosari, Malangsari, secara fisik dan konstruksi masih terlihat utuh, tetapi baik sisa rangka manusia maupun artefak bekal kuburnya tidak ditemukan. Keadaan semacam ini menunjukkan kemungkinan bahwa dolmen ini pernah dibuka. Luasnya areal sebaran serta belum dilakukannya penelitian secara menyeluruh, menjadikan dolmen Malangsari sebagai objek baru yang sangat menarik untuk diteliti lebih lanjut. Kelak di kemudian hari objek baru ini penting untuk dikaji baik bagi perkembangan penelitian arkeologi, maupun untuk kepentingan pengelolaan sumberdaya arkeologi di Indonesia.

Archaeological researches in southeast coast of Sumatra find archaeological prove of Srivijaya era (7-13 AD). Settlement sites located along tidal swamp rivers near shoreline. Srivijaya communities lived on house on stilts from wood on the wetlands. The artifacts came from aboard, eg. Chinese ceramics, beads from India and glasses from Persian found with local artifacts. Also found boats of Southeast Asia tradition use sewn plank and lashed-lug technique. These artifacts represent maritime activities in southeast coast of Sumatra. Estimated southeast coast of Sumatra, which facing Strait of Bangka, is an archaeological settlement area of Srivijaya and also pre Srivijaya periods. This one have the harbour and the port. This paper tried to identify one of the archaeological settlement area which estimated as an entreport of Srivijaya period. This area located in Bay of Cengal, District of Ogan Komering Ilir, Province of South Sumatra. Remains of activity area concentrated in Lumpur River basin and empties into Java Sea. Identification an archaeological settlement area in Bay of Cengal based on archeological data analysis, textual and maps resources, environment and position of Bay of Cengal in global maritime networks of SrivijayaPenelitian arkeologi di pesisir tenggara Sumatra menemukan bukti-bukti arkeologis yang sezaman dengan berkembangnya Sriwijaya di Sumatra (7-13 M). Situs-situs hunian mengelompok di tepi aliran sungai rawa pasang surut. Situs-situs tersebut berada di hilir sungai yang lokasinya relatif dekat dengan garis pantai sekarang. Penduduk masa Sriwijaya tinggal pada rumah-rumah panggung bertiang kayu di lahan basah. Artefak-artefak yang ditemukan sebagian besar berasal dari luar negeri, seperti keramik Cina, manik-manik dari India dan kaca-kaca dari Persia dijumpai bersama dengan barang-barang lokal, seperti barang-barang dari tembikar.

Although it is an inland sea, the Sea of Marmara and
its surroundings have rather complex morphology due to the active tectonics of
the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) zone in this region. The Kapıdağ Peninsula
which is located at its southern coasts also represents a complex morphology.
Macro morphologic units of Kapıdağ Peninsula are N-S trending deep valley
systems, mountain areas and Belkıs isthmus. The most coastal area of peninsula
has terraces, coastal plains and alluvial valley floors. These unique
morphologic features can explain some parameters of active tectonics of the Sea
of Marmara region. In order to investigate these geomorphologic features of the
Kapıdağ peninsula in detail, some land observations, satellite data, Digital
Terrain Models (DTMs which have been evaluated from topographic maps with a
vertical precision of ±3m and cell size of 8m), Geographic Information Systems
(GIS), traditional methods and some integrated techniques such as image
processing were used.

This article explores how Dixie was reproduced in newspaper discourse and blackface performance at the theatre and local amusements in Toronto.

This study is based on the findings of a single surgeon’s practice of mitral valve replacement of 167 patients from April 2005 to June 2017 who developed symptomatic mitral restenosis after closed or open mitral commisurotomy. Both clinical and color doppler echocardiographic data of peri-operative and six months follow-up period were evaluated and compared to assess the early outcome of the redo mitral valve surgery. With male-female ratio of 1: 2.2 and after a duration of 6 to 22 years symptom free interval between the redo procedures, the selected patients with mitral valve restenosis undergone valve replacement with either mechanical valve in 62% cases and also tissue valve in 38% cases. Particular emphasis was given to separate the adhered pericardium from the heart completely to ameliorate base to apex and global contraction of the heart. Besides favorable post-operative clinical outcome, the echocardiographic findings were also encouraging as there was statistically significant increase in the mitral valve area and ejection fraction with significant decrease in the left atrial diameter, pressure gradient across the mitral valve and pulmonary artery systolic pressure. Therefore, in case of inevitable mitral restenosis after closed or open commisurotomy, mitral valve replacement is a promising treatment modality.
Optimisation of Heat Loss through Ventilation for Residential Buildings
Authors: Suszanowicz Dariusz
Published: March 2018

This study presents the results of research on heat loss from various types of residential buildings through ventilation systems. Experimental research was done to analyse the effectiveness of ventilation systems of different types and determine the parameters of air discharged via the ventilation ducts. A model of heat loss from the discharge of exhaust air outside through air ducts has since been developed. Experiments were conducted on three experimental systems of building ventilation: gravitational, mechanical, and supply-exhaust ventilation systems with heat recovery. The proposed model dependencies were used to chart the daily fluctuations of the optimum multiplicity of air exchange for precise control of the parameters of mechanical ventilation systems in residential buildings. This study proves that natural ventilation in residential buildings fulfils its function only by increasing the air flow into the building, and that this incurs significant heat loss from buildings during the heating season.
Effects of Carrier Doping on the Transport in the Dirac Electron System α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 under High Pressure
Authors: Tajima Naoya
Published: March 2018

A zero-gap state with a Dirac cone type energy dispersion was discovered in an organic conductor α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 under high hydrostatic pressures. This is the first two-dimensional (2D) zero-gap state discovered in bulk crystals with a layered structure. Moreover, the Dirac cones are highly tilted in a k-space. This system, thus, provides a testing ground for the investigation of physical phenomena in the multilayered, massless Dirac electron system with anisotropic Fermi velocity. Recently, the carrier injection into this system has been succeeded. Thus, the investigations in this system have expanded. The recent developments are remarkable. This effect exhibits peculiar (quantum) transport phenomena characteristic of electrons on the Dirac cone type energy structure.

Gout is caused by a chronic hyperuricemia whose complications are not currently well evaluated in Africa. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of hyperuricemia and gout in 85 patients recruited. A total of 26 cases of hyperuricemia, i.e., 30.6% of the study population, with 12 cases of gout and seven cases of gouty access. In this population, hyperuricemia was proportional to age (p-value < 10−4, OR = 2.6), but it was more prevalent in men, 23.5% versus 7.1% for women (p-value = 0.0047). In addition, none of these women showed signs of a gouty affection. Consumption of alcohol (OR = 13) and nucleoprotein-rich foods, obesity (BMI 30 kg/m2; OR = 6), family history of gout (OR = 6.8), as well as diseases such as high blood pressure (associated with taking diuretics; OR = 1.7), renal insufficiency (OR = 4.4) and diabetes (p < 0.049) were the main factors of the diseases associated with gout and hyperuricemia in this population. The biochemical role of these factors may increase and/or decrease the processes of synthesis and/or elimination of uric acid by acting on metabolites involved in the regulation of urate production.
Augmented Reality Applications for Substation Management by Utilizing Standards-Compliant SCADA Communication

Published: March 2018

Most electrical substations are remotely monitored and controlled by using Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) applications. Current SCADA systems have been significantly enhanced by utilizing standardized communication protocols and the most prominent is the IEC 61850 international standard. These enhancements enable improvements in different domains of SCADA systems such as communication engineering, data management and visualization of automation process data in SCADA applications. Process data visualization is usually achieved through Human Machine Interface (HMI) screens in substation control centres. However, this visualization method sometimes makes supervision, control and maintenance procedures executed by engineers slow and error-prone because it separates equipment from its automation data. Augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) visualization techniques have matured enough to provide new possibilities of displaying relevant data wherever needed. This paper presents a novel methodology for visualizing process related SCADA data to enhance and facilitate human-centric activities in substations such as regular equipment maintenance. The proposed solution utilizes AR visualization techniques together with standards-based communication protocols used in substations. The developed proof-of-concept AR application that enables displaying SCADA data on the corresponding substation equipment with the help of AR markers demonstrates originality and benefits of the proposed visualization method. Additionally, the application enables displaying widgets and 3D models of substation equipment to make the visualization more user-friendly and intuitive. The visualized SCADA data needs to be refreshed considering soft real-time data delivery restrictions. Therefore, the proposed solution is thoroughly tested to demonstrate the applicability of proposed methodology in real substations.

The existence of a latent stage within host tissue of the pine pathogens Fusarium circinatum and Diplodia sapinea, the causal agents of pitch canker and shoot blight disease respectively, has previously been cited. However, studies on this cryptic phase in each disease lifecycle has only been focused on the host aerial parts but not on the roots. Therefore, our objective was to analyze the presence of both pathogens in roots of non-symptomatic mature trees in plantations where the pathogens are known to be causing canker symptoms. For that, we sampled roots from ten non-symptomatic and ten symptomatic trees in three Pinus radiata and one Pinus pinaster plantations in Basque Country, Spain. Both pathogens were isolated from roots of non-symptomatic trees in a higher frequency than from roots of symptomatic trees, 23.3% and 6.6% respectively for D. sapinea and 16.6% and 3.3% respectively for F. circinatum. Neither pathogens was detected in the P. pinaster plantation. The two pathogens were never isolated from the same tree. A high molecular variability was observed for D. sapinea isolates with six different haplotypes and two mating types for the eleven characterized isolates, but only one haplotype and mating type was found for F. circinatum, with all isolates of both fungi being proved pathogenic. These results evidence the importance root infection may have in the disease lifecycle and, therefore, disease management.
Novel Sequence Features of DNA Repair Genes/Proteins from Deinococcus Species Implicated in Protection from Oxidatively Generated Damage
Authors: Hassan F. , Gupta Radhey
Published: March 2018

Deinococcus species display a high degree of resistance to radiation and desiccation due to their ability to protect critical proteome from oxidatively generated damage; however, the underlying mechanisms are not understood. Comparative analysis of DNA repair proteins reported here has identified 22 conserved signature indels (CSIs) in the proteins UvrA1, UvrC, UvrD, UvsE, MutY, MutM, Nth, RecA, RecD, RecG, RecQ, RecR, RuvC, RadA, PolA, DnaE, LigA, GyrA and GyrB, that are uniquely shared by all/most Deinococcus homologs. Of these CSIs, a 30 amino acid surface-exposed insert in the Deinococcus UvrA1, which distinguishes it from all other UvrA homologs, is of much interest. The uvrA1 gene in Deinococcus also exhibits specific genetic linkage (predicted operonic arrangement) to genes for three other proteins including a novel Deinococcus-specific transmembrane protein (designated dCSP-1) and the proteins DsbA and DsbB, playing central roles in protein disulfide bond formation by oxidation-reduction of CXXC (C represents cysteine, X any other amino acid) motifs. The CXXC motifs provide important targets for oxidation damage and they are present in many DNA repair proteins including five in UvrA, which are part of Zinc-finger elements. A conserved insert specific for Deinococcus is also present in the DsbA protein. Additionally, the uvsE gene in Deinococcus also shows specific linkage to the gene for a membrane-associated protein. To account for these novel observations, a model is proposed where specific interaction of the Deinococcus UvrA1 protein with membrane-bound dCSP-1 enables the UvrA1 to receive electrons from DsbA-DsbB oxido-reductase machinery to ameliorate oxidation damage in the UvrA1 protein.

miR-25, a member of the miR-106b-25 cluster, has been reported as playing an important role in many biological processes by numerous studies, while the role of miR-25 in metabolism and its transcriptional regulation mechanism remain unclear. In this study, gain-of-function and loss-of-function assays demonstrated that miR-25-3p positively regulated the metabolism of C2C12 cells by attenuating phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) gene expression and triglyceride (TG) content, and enhancing the content of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, the results from bioinformatics analysis, dual luciferase assay, site-directed mutagenesis, qRT-PCR, and Western blotting demonstrated that miR-25-3p directly targeted the AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 (Akt1) 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR). The core promoter of miR-25-3p was identified, and the transcription factor activator protein-2α (AP-2α) significantly increased the expression of mature miR-25-3p by binding to its core promoter in vivo, as indicated by the chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay, and AP-2α binding also downregulated the expression of Akt1. Taken together, our findings suggest that miR-25-3p, positively regulated by the transcription factor AP-2α, enhances C2C12 cell metabolism by targeting the Akt1 gene.
