Authors: Hairrudin Hairrudin , Kumara Prajesiaji Praba , Normasari Rena
Published: October 2021

Pengaturan diet pada diabetes mellitus (DM) dibutuhkan untuk mengendalikan kadar glukosa darah dan mencegah terjadinya komplikasi pada ginjal. Beras analog merupakan beras tiruan yang dibuat dari bahan pangan nonberas atau campuran dengan beras melalui teknik tertentu sehingga menyerupai beras. Beras analog diperkirakan dapat memperbaiki pengendalian kadar glukosa dan mencegah kerusakan ginjal karena memiliki kandungan serat dan resistant starch (RS) yang tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek beras analog dalam mencegah kerusakan ginjal pada tikus DM. Penelitian eksperimental ini menggunakan sampel ginjal tikus Wistar. Tikus dikelompokkan menjadi 4 kelompok (n=24), yaitu: kelompok kontrol (K0) dan tiga kelompok perlakuan (P). Kelompok K0 diberi pelet standar selama penelitian. Kelompok perlakuan diberi diet tinggi lemak selama 40 hari dan diiduksi streptozotocin (STZ) dosis 35 mg/kgBB pada hari ke-33. Hari ke-40 kelompok perlakuan dibagi menjadi 3 kelompok masing-masing diberi diet beras (PB), diet beras analog 1 (PBA1), dan diet beras analog 2 (PBA2) selama 3 minggu. Kerusakan ginjal diamati melalui gambaran histopatologi ginjal dan dinilai menggunakan sistem skoring berdasarkan tingkat glomerulosklerosis dan kerusakan tubulus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan median skor glomerulosklerosis dan kerusakan tubulus pada K0=0,5 dan 1,0; PB=3,0 dan 4,0; PBA1=1,0 dan 2,5; PBA2=2,0 dan 3,0. Terdapat perbedaan signifikan (p<0,05) antara kelompok PB dengan PBA1 dan PBA2. Kesimpulannya adalah beras analog dapat mencegah kerusakan ginjal pada tikus DM

Published: October 2021

Composition adulteration in a product is still a serious problem. For that we need a DNA-based test method that is fast, specific and simple. In this study, a rapid test technique with the loop-mediated isothermal amplification method was applied to identify the presence of pork DNA in meatballs. Six primers were used for the identification of mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit II. Samples were prepared in the form of mixed beef meatballs containing pork with a concentration of 50; 5; 0.5; 0.05%, respectively. The results showed that the optimal concentration for primers was 4 pmol inner primers, 2 pmol loop primers, and 1 pmol outer primers. The LAMP reaction showed a change in color in the meatball sample with the pork mixture to the lowest concentration. The LAMP technique provides a faster test with the final result of on-the-spot color visualization so that it is potential to be developed as a quick detection kit for identification of halal food processed products
First record of Neurosystasis Satchell in Mexico, with the description of one new species (Diptera, Psychodidae), and the validation of Chuspilepia Omad, Mangudo & Gleiser as subgenus
Authors: Durán-Luz Juana , Ibáñez-Bernal Sergio , Omad Guillermo Hugo
Published: October 2021

Neurosystasis Satchell is newly recorded in Mexico by means of the description of a new species. Specimens captured in a tropical deciduous forest in southern Puebla, central Mexico, were examined and determined as a species new to science. The male and female are described based on morphological characteristics. Neurosystasis longistylis sp. nov. is similar in appearance to Neurosystasis saltenia (Omad, Mangudo & Gleiser, 2015), but is readily distinguished based on characters of the head, wing, and male genitalia. In both species, R2+3 is attached to vein R4, the wing membrane is infuscate with dark spots on vein apices, and lacks sensory organs near the apex of Sc, characters not present in other species of Neurosystasis, and for that reasons we proposed the recovery of Chuspilepia from its synonym and validate it as a subgenus of Neurosystasis to include both continental species.

Published: October 2021

Muslim legal scholars recognize the 'urf's importance as a source of law and societal behaviour mechanism. However, due to a lack of understanding, modern practices disregard the significance of 'urf. Instead, they replicate practices from other countries, which are incompatible with local requirements. Therefore, this paper will explore the application of ‘urf and lessons from the traditional Islamic built environment. This qualitative study gathered the data from journals and books, while the analysis was accomplished via content analysis. The result found that urf plays an essential role to lay the groundwork for a better Islamic built environment in future.

Published: October 2021

Contrary to many short-term accommodation operators (STAs), short-term accommodations in Malaysia are subjected to laws relating to land and town planning. In the light of the ignorance of the STA operators about the legal aspects of STAs and complaints received by both the industry players (registered hoteliers) and the general community at large, this paper addresses the elements of an express condition of the land, usage of the property and licensing of the STAs in Malaysia. This paper uses the library-based approach, where the analysis of relevant legislation, newspaper report, decided cases, and journal articles are made. A comparative study with selected states in the U.S.A is made concerning the legal status of the short-term rentals.

Authors: Falson Jerri
Published: October 2021

Indonesia has diverse geographical conditions in each region that causes different impact in assessing real estate value, one of which is the active mountains especially in Ternate, North Maluku. This research discusses the experience of volcanic hazards that influences the model of cost valuation method in building. Drawing on technical calculation, the paper first examines the historical volcanic hazard at Mt. Gamalama, Ternate, Province North Maluku. This work also introduces in how volcanic vulnerability requires a specific approach to play complementary roles in appraising the real value of a building. Following cost approach method, by computing the specific formula to determine the characteristic of a building which directly related to its depreciation, this model predicts the implications of the expected value of a building which is typically located in the volcanic vulnerability.
A REVIEW OF SPATIAL ECONOMETRICS IN EXPLICIT LOCATION MODELLING OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTY MARKET
Authors: Usman Hamza , Lizam Mohd , Burhan Burhaida
Published: October 2021

‘Location, location, location’ is a real property parlance mostly used to describe the influence of location in the property market. Location is mainly considered as the most significant influencer of commercial property prices. Location is modelled traditionally using hedonic pricing model by either proxy location dummies or distances relative to other neighbourhood features. This was shown to be inadequate due to spatial autocorrelation and heterogeneity inherent in spatial data, which jeopardises the estimates' consistency. Consequently, spatial econometrics is used to explicitly model location into property pricing by controlling spatial effects of autocorrelation and heterogeneity. Housing studies dominate the use of this approach with limited application in the commercial property market. This paper reviewed spatial econometrics and found that the commercial property market exhibits significant spatial dependence and heterogeneity. Accounting for such effects improves model accuracy significantly. It, therefore, recommends increase use of spatial econometrics in commercial property market modelling.

Published: October 2021

Land value is an important element in a decision making. The estimation of land value conducted individually based on comparables. This approach often faces difficulties due to the large quantities of such assets with limited capacity of valuers. This research aimed to build a model to effectively identify the main property attributes that shape property value and quantify the effect of unobserved variables on value. We observed 628 property data in Jakarta collected by the Directorate General of State Asset Management (DGSAM) as part of their valuation activities in 2018. The results of this study provide an evidence that structural equation model (SEM) can be effectively used to identify property attributes that significantly affect property value, particularly for valuing state-owned assets.

Property crowdfunding as an alternative financing option for first-time homebuyers was introduced by the Malaysian government during the presentation of the National Budget 2019. This platform was the first of its kind, and targeted fundraisers who were first-time homebuyers, i.e., those allowed to raise financial support for their home purchase via the platform. As the mechanism of the Malaysian property crowdfunding platform is new to homebuyers, this study aims to explore homebuyers’ interests to use property crowdfunding platform as an alternative financing option for the purchase of their first home. First-time homebuyers’ opinions were collected through face-to-face interviews, and content analysis was performed to analyse the obtained qualitative data. Key themes were identified and organised into three sections: (i) knowledge of the property crowdfunding; (ii) factors that motivated the use of the property crowdfunding and (iii) barriers that hindered the use of the property crowdfunding. These findings are expected to contribute toward the adoption of the property crowdfunding in Malaysia.

Published: October 2021

Heritage buildings are a representation of historic features and the Malaysian culture. The intangible value of a heritage property comprises aesthetic quality, spiritual aspects, social functions, and its own uniqueness. Therefore, heritage properties have been seen to be moving away from traditional alternative investments, which are not covered by conventional real estate schemes. Additionally, the characteristics of heritage properties are expected to be seen as ‘art’, and they offer a highly beneficial diversification strategy with a relatively low correlation towards traditional assets classes. The Penang (Island) Heritage Property Price Index (PPHPPI) is estimated to be using a hedonic regression method. Based on the index, the heritage property records the highest quarterly returns and risk among the conventional assets considered in this study.

Исследуется влияние атмосферы отжигов CVD-ZnSe, проводимых в режимах, близких к процедуре их легирования железом, на люминесцентные характеристики этих кристаллов. Обнаружено, что отжиги в атмосфере аргона и селена приводят к качественному изменению примесно-дефектного состава и к сложному пространственному распределению люминесцентных характеристик CVD-ZnSe, особенно в области кристалла на расстоянии до 400 мкм от поверхности. В случае отжига цинка его люминесцентные характеристики более однородны, за исключением приповерхностной зоны шириной ~100 мкм, имеющей высокую интенсивность люминесценции во всем исследуемом спектральном диапазоне (0.44-0.72 мкм). Полученные результаты интерпретируются на основе предположения об испарении цинка при отжиге в аргоне и селене. На основе анализа пространственного распределения люминесценции делаются предположения о природе наблюдаемых примесно-дефектных центров. Ключевые слова: двухфотонная конфокальная микроскопия, CVD-ZnSe, примесно-дефектный состав, высокотемпературный отжиг.

The electroluminescence spectra of waveguiding structures based on quantum well-dots were investigated with polarization resolution in the temperature range of 60−300 K. It is found that the ground state emission consists of two peaks with different degrees of TE-polarization and these peaks are getting closer with temperature decrease. We attribute the bimodality to the existence of two different types of nanoobjects in the active region: the quantum well-dots, which have partially TE-polarized emission, and quantum dots emitting almost fully TE-polarized light.

Published: October 2021

The behavior of the photocurrent in GaAs / AlAs p-i-n heterostructures is studied in a magnetic field parallel to the heterolayers in the wavelength range from 395 to 650 nm. A strong dependence of the non-oscillating component of the photocurrent on the radiation wavelength associated with the suppression of the diffusion current by the magnetic field was found. It is shown that the behavior of the oscillating component of the photocurrent in a magnetic field does not depend on the wavelength of light and is determined by the transfer of electrons through the dimensional quantization level in a triangular near-barrier well. It is shown that the suppression of the oscillating component by the magnetic field is due to the smearing of the level in the triangular well due to the motion of electrons parallel to the walls of the well and perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Published: October 2021

Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia is a rare disorder which characterized by impaired small intestinal lymph drainage. There is loss of proteins from dilated lymphatic channels located in the mucosa, submucosa or subserosa which is results with loss of gammaglobulins and lymphocytes, leading to impaired humoral and cellular immunity. Herein, we present a 61-year-old patient with immunodeficiency secondary to Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL), in whom we could attain effective and stable IgG levels only by subcutaneous IgG replacement rather than intravenous IgG. Our experience suggests that Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin (SCIG) replacement resulted in more stable levels of IgG in the presented patient with PIL. We concluded that SCIG should be the preferred route of immunoglobulin replacement therapy in secondary hypogammaglobulinemia due to protein losing enteropathy, especially in PIL.

Las evaluaciones de sostenibilidad son el mecanismo más adecuado para determinar si un método, alternativa o tendencia de producción de cultivos es viable desde el punto de vista ambiental, económico y social. Estas evaluaciones se realizan por medio de herramientas basadas en indicadores, algunos asociados con las propiedades, la composición, los procesos y el manejo del suelo. En esta revisión se ofrece una visión global del efecto de las actividades de manejo del suelo sobre la sostenibilidad de los sistemas de producción agrícola y se hace una descripción general de los indicadores de suelo que se han utilizado en evaluaciones de sostenibilidad agrícola. Se han utilizado 28 indicadores, agrupados en indicadores inherentes al suelo (16) e indicadores de procesos relacionados con los sistemas suelo-agua (3), suelo-atmósfera (5) y suelo-planta (4). Se sugiere la medición de al menos un indicador por cada grupo de indicadores asociados a propiedades y procesos del suelo, la inclusión de indicadores que tengan en cuenta escenarios futuros de cambio climático, así como la adaptación de las herramientas actuales para evaluar la sostenibilidad de diversas alternativas de producción.
Examining the Trends in Online Health Information–Seeking Behavior About Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Singapore: Analysis of Data From Google Trends and the Global Burden of Disease Study
Authors: Fang Yang , Shepherd Thomas A , Smith Helen E
Published: October 2021

Background

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death globally, and timely health care seeking is imperative for its prevention, early detection, and management. While online health information–seeking behavior (OHISB) is increasingly popular due to widespread internet connectivity, little is known about how OHISB for COPD has changed in comparison with the COPD disease burden, particularly at a country-specific level.

Objective

This study aimed to examine the trends in OHISB for COPD and how that compared with the estimates of COPD disease burden in Singapore, a highly wired country with a steadily increasing COPD disease burden.

Methods

To examine the trends in OHISB for COPD, we performed Prais-Winsten regression analyses on monthly search volume data for COPD from January 2004 to June 2020 downloaded from Google Trends. We then conducted cross-correlational analyses to examine the relationship between annualized search volume on COPD topics and estimates of COPD morbidity and mortality reported in the Global Burden of Disease study from 2004 to 2017.

Results

From 2004 to 2020, the trend in COPD search volume was curvilinear (β=1.69, t194=6.64, P<.001), with a slope change around the end of 2006. There was a negative linear trend (β=–0.53, t33=–3.57, P=.001) from 2004 to 2006 and a positive linear trend (β=0.51, t159=7.43, P<.001) from 2007 to 2020. Cross-correlation analyses revealed positive associations between COPD search volume and COPD disease burden indicators: positive correlations between search volume and prevalence, incidence, years living with disability (YLD) at lag 0, and positive correlations between search volume and prevalence, YLD at lag 1.

Conclusions

Google search volume on COPD increased from 2007 to 2020; this trend correlated with the upward trajectory of several COPD morbidity estimates, suggesting increasing engagement in OHISB for COPD in Singapore. These findings underscore the importance of making high-quality, web-based information accessible to the public, particularly COPD patients and their carers.
Concerns regarding Peer Specialists’ roles and functions under Medicaid-Managed Care in New Mexico: An important testimonial from a Senior Peer Specialist (Preprint)
Authors: Marcello Maviglia, Ashley Charzuk, Donald Hume. Marcello

UNSTRUCTURED

Peer Support Specialists are extremely effective in assisting individuals with emotional distress, as shown by consistent data from testimonials and both specialized and gray literature (1,2) There is a consistent body of data reflecting the undeniable value of Peer Services. Peers’ interventions contribute to improve on self-esteem and confidence, on the ability to bring about changes and on the feeling that treatment is addressing the real needs of individuals (3). In the past few years, Peer Support Specialists have been officially recognized as essential figures by Medicaid -Managed Care organizations and other public health institutions for the of delivery of integrated and coordinated behavioral health services (4).
However, this substantial progress is just one face of the coin. With institutional recognition, comes also the risk of loss of identity. According to the testimony from several reliable Peers, the recognition of their official role under Medicaid could undermine the very nature of their interventions by morphing them into a hybrid of traditional medical and clinical recovery principles, structured and supervised by “mainstream” trained clinicians. The result could be the loss of Peers’ identity and functions. The article intends to spearhead a dialogue on the critical issue of maintaining the integrity of the original peer support model.

Authors: Belfiore Elisa P. , Belfiore Phillip J.
Published: October 2021

This case study investigates the effects of using an intervention package of errorless learning and discrimination trial training to teach a 4-year old preschool student to read Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC) words. A single case multiple baseline design across three equal instructional sets was used to evaluate the effects of the intervention package. Each set contained six CVC words incorporating words with each of the five vowels. The results of this study indicate that utilizing both errorless learning and discrimination training to teach a preschool student how to read CVC words was effective. In addition, generalization assessments post-intervention showed an increase in (a) mastering new unknown CVC words, as well as (b) book text reading.

Blended learning that combines e-learning and face-to-face lessons is spreading from employee training to school education. To improve its educational effect, we conducted training after students watched on-demand teaching materials, that is, e-learning in advance. In addition, students’ watched on-demand review material created from the video of the practical training, aiming to confirm their knowledge and skills. The authors have so far proposed a Group work, Training, Group work and Presentation (hereinafter “GTGP”) training model that combines group work, training, group work and presentation. As a result of comparing blended learning that combined in-advance, on-demand teaching materials and the GTGP model training with the previous GTGP model training alone, we found that the average achievement rate improved by 6.0%. In addition, students’ expressions about watching on-demand review material after training indicated the material was effective.

The study assessed indigenous practices and beliefs on the conservation of natural resources in Oju Local Government Area of Benue State. Purposeful and simple random sampling was applied to determine the study sample and thus a sample size of 118 was used for the study. The findings revealed that majority of the respondents were male (75.4%) while 24.6% were female. The indigenous and traditional beliefs in the protection of natural resources in the area is reflected in a variety of their practices which included sacred groves and sacred landscapes, construction of masquerades and other traditional artifacts, reflecting greatly the population of the forest resources. The most conserved fauna and flora species identified were; Smutsia gigantea, Elgaria coerulea, Ceyx erithaca, Milvus aegyptius, Centropus steerii and Ophiophagus hannah; Vitellaria paradoxa, Khaya grandifoliola and Abies balsamea. Major challenges identified were; lack of inclusion by governance institution with (98.7%), followed by adoption of other religious beliefs with (97.5%), poaching/illegal logging and population growth/urbanization (91.5%), perception of idolatry (88.9%), Bush fires (89.8%) while frequent use of herbs for traditional medicine (83.1%) had the least percentage. On the ways of improvement was awareness creation had the highest proportion (33.9%), followed by attitudinal change (30.5%), while resource allocation to traditional leaders and integration of traditional conservation in formal resource conservation had the least proportion of 17.8%. It was concluded that traditional practices and beliefs if well managed will enhanced proper conservation and management of natural resources. The study thus recommended that, institutions responsible for conservation of natural resources should be positioned for effective performance and service delivery. Government should have monitoring agents that will help in ensuring natural resource conservation.
