Dimensionamiento de canales y embalses para conducir y almacenar agua lluvia para abastecer la población de altos de cazucá (Soacha-Colombia) utilizando D.E.M.
Authors: Forero Buitrago Gonzalo Alberto
Published: July 2018

El flujo de agua dentro de un paisaje, depende de las características propias del terreno. En el presente artículo, se analizan dichos patrones de flujo de agua lluvia, dentro del sector de Soacha denominado Altos de Cazucá. Dentro del análisis del presente artículo, se analiza el flujo de agua lluvia y las causas de los procesos de inundación de la Autopista Sur, vía ubicada en la parte baja de la cuenca. La Autopista sur, se ve afectada por una cantidad considerable de sedimentos que llegan a ella en época de lluvia, a través del caudal de agua aportado por la cuenca de altos de Cazucá. Este caudal, es un flujo de agua lluvia no controlado por ninguna infraestructura, generando inconvenientes en el tráfico de vehículos y peatones en época de lluvias, por procesos de inundación generados debido a que:

* No existe un drenaje adecuado debido al taponamiento de la infraestructura de drenaje de agua lluvia existente con los sedimentos arrastrados por el flujo de agua.

* Los colectores de agua existentes, no tienen la capacidad suficiente para evacuar el caudal aportado por la cuenca alta de Altos de Cazucá.

Estas condiciones no controladas, generan procesos de inundación, que ocasionan inconvenientes de movilidad para los carros y peatones.

En el presente documento, se analiza, se modela el flujo de agua y se genera una alternativa para eliminar estos inconvenientes, además de hacer del problema, una oportunidad para el aprovechamiento de agua lluvia, mediante diferentes estructuras hidráulicas que permiten una conducción y almacenamiento por medio de la energía gravitacional, a estructuras de almacenamiento con el fin de proveer del recurso a la población de Altos de Cazucá, sin acceso al agua, siempre y cuando se realice en estudios posteriores, proyectos para la correcta separación del aguas residuales domesticas de la misma población que no cuenta con un sistema de evacuación de agua residual y se le haga un tratamiento a la medida, al agua lluvia recolectada para asegurar su potabilidad y su posterior cálculo para suministro.

Authors: Silva Aida Maria Monteiro , Tavares Celma , Cardoso Fernando Da Silva
Published: July 2018

Este artigo apresenta alguns fundamentos teórico-metodológicos com base na Educação em Direitos Humanos (EDH) à prática da mediação de conflitos escolares, os quais foram construídos com base no estudo mais amplo sobre “Mediação de Conflitos Escolares: contribuições da educação em direitos humanos no enfretamento à violência”, realizado em escolas de Pernambuco/Brasil, entre 2014 e 2015. Os resultados apresentados nesta investigação assinalam para a ideia que denominamos de “educação transformativa de conflitos”, fundada em uma concepção democrática, do reconhecimento da diversidade e das diferenças humanas, e, principalmente, na ressignificação dos conflitos como pressupostos à construção de uma escola cidadã.
Convite à análise discursiva em Michel Foucault nas pesquisas em Educação
Authors: Batista Bruno Nunes
Published: July 2018

Parece que nós, na Educação, começamos nossas investigações munidos de verdades preliminares, que induzem pesquisas a resultados antes de terem sido pesquisados. Igualmente, nossas verdades – pedagógicas, científicas, psicológicas, históricas – passam a ser pontos de chegada para a conclusão dos trabalhos, ainda que forçosamente. O que nem sempre fazemos é questionar essas verdades, isto é, como elas funcionam e chegaram a ser o que são. Nesse sentido, a análise discursiva de Michel Foucault nos oferece pontas de lança para um trabalho de pensar o próprio pensamento. Enquanto precauções e oportunidades, este artigo faz um panorâmico convite aos estudos foucaultianos e à sua arqueologia do saber discursivo, por um lado; e às suas possíveis aplicações nas pesquisas em Educação, por outro.
O ensino de matemática em salas de recursos: vozes e silêncios
Authors: Rolim Carmem Lucia Artioli , Borges Nadia Flausino Vieira
Published: July 2018

O presente estudo tem como o objetivo descrever, por meio das falas de docentes, o processo de ensino de matemática para estudantes com especificidades visuais matriculados em salas de recursos. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa empregamos o estudo de caso, na perspectiva da abordagem qualitativa. Os ambientes da investigação foram às salas de recursos multifuncionais da rede pública estadual de educação do Tocantins e, os sujeitos participantes, as professoras que ensinam matemática no contexto inclusivo. Para as docentes a sala de recursos figura no cenário escolar como um ambiente de aprendizagens, por vezes, desconhecido e desvalorizado pela sociedade. Suas experiências indicam, que o processo de ensino de matemática, independentemente das especificidades vivenciadas pelos alunos, precisa ser oportunizado como um direito social, sendo esse o principal objetivo da atividade.
A relevância da prudência nos métodos de ensino participativo para a didática jurídica
Authors: Pereira Junior Antônio Jorge , Melo Felipe Antônio De Castro Bezerra Morais
Published: July 2018

O presente artigo visa estudar o momento delicado no ensino jurídico do Brasil, não apenas pela grande quantidade de faculdades ao redor do país e a consequente queda na qualidade da didática, mas também pela forma em que os docentes estão utilizando, exacerbadamente, aulas expositivas para a transmissão do conhecimento, algo que só desestimula os discentes durante o processo pedagógico. A metodologia utilizada foi a investigação do tipo bibliográfica, com pesquisa pura de abordagem qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória quanto aos objetivos. A prudência é, muitas vezes, confundida com os conceitos de cautela ou cuidado. Porém, neste trabalho será esclarecido que, pelo contrário, trata-se de uma virtude corajosa, relacionada à reta razão no agir. Para alterar esta complicada situação, podem-se utilizar, por meio da prudência, os métodos de ensino participativo, cujo objetivo é aumentar a interação professor-aluno com o fito de fugir desta prática tradicional e ultrapassada de monólogos por parte dos professores durante as aulas de Direito.

Inhibitory effect of selenomethionine on carcinogenesis in the model of human colorectal cancer in vitro and its link to the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
Authors: Korbut Edyta , Ptak-Belowska Agata , Brzozowski Tomasz
Published: July 2018

Selenium compounds have been implicated as anticancer agents; however, the mechanism of their inhibitory action against cancer development has not been extensively investigated. The constitutive activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway is a central event in colorectal carcinogenesis. In this pathway, the excessive cell proliferation is initiated by the generation of β-catenin followed by overexpression of proto-oncogenes such as c-Myc. It is believed that under physiological conditions the level of c-Myc is efficiently controlled by accessibility of β-catenin protein through the process of phosphorylation by glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β). Here, we determined whether selenomethionine (SeMet) can inhibit cell growth and affect the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in HT-29 human colorectal cancer cells in vitro. The effective cytotoxic doses of SeMet have been selected after 48 h of incubation of this compound with colorectal cancer HT-29 cell line. The MTT assay was used to assess cell viability and the protein and mRNA levels of β-catenin and c-Myc were determined by Western blotting and qPCR, respectively. The SeMet potently inhibited growth of HT-29 cells, significantly decreased the β-catenin protein and mRNA concentration, down-regulated the c-Myc gene expression and up-regulated pro-apoptotic Bax protein expression. Moreover, SeMet increased the level of GSK-3β phosphorylated at serine 9 (S9) and significantly increased the level of β-catenin phosphorylated at S33 and S37. We conclude that SeMet suppresses the growth of HT-29 colorectal cancer cells by the mechanism linked to the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, however, the degradation of β-catenin may occur independently of GSK-3β catalytic activity and its phosphorylation status.

POLÍTICA PÚBLICA DE CULTURA, PARTICIPAÇÃO SOCIAL E DESENVOLVIMENTO EM CONEXÃO PARA A CIDADANIA
Authors: Dos Santos Geovanne Silva , Cavalcanti Ramalho Ângela Maria , Ferreira Rolim Júlio César
Published: July 2018

A política pública como um direito social, especificamente no âmbito da cultura, precisa fortalecer as instâncias participativas e deliberativas através da redefinição das relações entre o Estado e a sociedade civil. Neste sentido, o Estado tem a função de mediador da política, tanto para estimular o processo como incentivar a produção cultural, tornando-a acessível a todos os cidadãos. Trata-se de um mecanismo de democracia participativa, ao passo em que pressupõe que o cidadão tenha acesso aos instrumentos de apoio à valorização das atividades culturais e possa expressar sua visão de mundo em todos os espaços. Sendo assim, o estudo em tela tem como objetivo compreender as dinâmicas de estruturação da Política Pública de Cultura no Estado da Paraíba, especificamente, em Campina Grande - PB, identificando como os dispositivos de participação social, o protagonismo e o empoderamento dos movimentos sociais tem contribuído para o processo de desenvolvimento de práticas sociais, econômicas e culturais mais equitativas. O estudo foi sistematizado a partir de um levantamento documental e bibliográfico dos marcos legais existentes sobre a Política Nacional de Cultura e com dados disponibilizados pelo Ministério da Cultura. As considerações finais apontam que, na atualidade, ao diminuir a participação social na construção da política municipal de cultura, o poder público local tolhe um importante campo de investimentos para uma construção coletiva do desenvolvimento.

Wstęp

Nadwaga i otyłość stały się w obecnych czasach poważnym problemem zdrowia publicznego. Patogenezę tych schorzeń można wiązać m.in. z hormonem tkankowym – leptyną, a także jej receptorem kodowanym przez gen LEPR. Receptor leptyny, należący do rodziny białek gp130, odgrywa ogromną rolę w ludzkim organizmie m.in. w patogenezie nadwagi i otyłości.

Materiał i metody

Badaniem objęto 510 osób. Grupę badaną podzielono na trzy grupy: kontrolną – zdrowych, z nadwagą oraz otyłością. Polimorfizm genu dla receptora leptyny K109R (rs1137100) zbadano w reakcji łańcuchowej polimerazy za pomocą aparatu 7300 Real Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems). Do genotypowania wykorzystano komplementarne do badanych alleli, fluorescencyjnie znakowane sondy TaqMan Predesigned SNP Genotyping Assay (Applied Biosystems).

Wyniki

Nie wykazano znamiennych statystycznie różnic w rozkładzie genotypów między pacjentami zdrowymi a badanymi z nadwagą i z otyłością zarówno w całej grupie, jak i w grupach kobiet i mężczyzn (p > 0,05). Częstość występowania allelu A wynosiła 76,73%, allelu G 23,27%.

Authors: Mustikasari Ayu Azrurin , Diantoro Markus , Mufti Nandang , Suryana Risa
Published: July 2018

Research to utilize natural polymers continues to be driven primarily by utilization as an environmental friendly energy-generating and storage material. The high porosity makes cellulose acetate (CA) a good candidate as a dielectric material as the basis of the supercapacitor device. Various dopants and compositions have been widely used, but the nano size morphological differences of the same material are rarely reported. Two types of ZnO are prepared, i.e., nanoparticles and nanorods deposited with CA and deposited on ITO glass substrate. The CA-ZnO / ITO composite film was fabricated through spin coating technique. This study focused on ZnO morphological difference on the microstructure and the dielectricity of CA-ZnO /ITO composite films. The morphology of nanoparticles and nanorods of ZnO were analyzed more detail with respect to its microstructure and dielectric properties. It is revealed that the change of ZnO morphology from nanoparticles to nanorod increase the capacitance and dielectric constant significantly from the order of the nano to the micro and decrease the dielectric loss. The dielectric constant of CA-ZnONP/ITO and CA-ZnONR/ITO are respectively of 2569 and 97159 at 100 Hz. The capacitance and dielectric loss of CA-ZnONP/ITO and CA-ZnONR/ITO reach to 69.809 nF; 678 and 2,15765 µF; 13,23 respectively.

Seleção do Par Dador-Recetor em Transplante Renal: Resultados Comparativos de uma Simulação
Authors: Lima Bruno Alves , Alves Helena
Published: July 2018

Introdução: Implementadas em 2007 pelo Despacho nº 6357, as regras de alocação de rins de dador cadáver procuram distribuir de forma equitativa um bem escasso da comunidade destinado a doentes que com ele possam ver melhorada a sua sobrevivência e qualidade de vida. Tal como exposto no referido despacho estas regras devem ser atualizadas sempre que o estado da arte o recomendar. O objetivo deste trabalho é o de avaliar e comparar três modelos de alocação de rins de dador cadáver: critérios de pontuação das regras do despacho nº 6537/2007 (modelo 1); modelo semelhante ao anterior mas com menor pontuação para o tempo de diálise (modelo 2); e um modelo adaptado do sistema de alocação por cores previamente proposto (modelo 3).Material e Métodos: Para efeitos desta análise foram gerados dados para 70 dadores tendo em conta a informação publicada relativa à distribuição de grupo sanguíneo e de frequências alélicas e haplotípicas do sistema de antigénios leucocitários humanos de dadores voluntários portugueses. Foram também gerados dados para uma lista de espera simulada de 500 candidatos a primeiro transplante renal.Resultados: Para a frequência do número de incompatibilidades de antigénios leucocitários humanos dos candidatos selecionados por cada modelo verifica-se que há menos candidatos no modelo 3 com mais de 3 incompatibilidades de antigénios leucocitários humanos (39,3%) do que no modelo 1 (57,1%, p < 0,01).Discussão: Em comparação com as regras adaptadas do despacho nº 6537/2007 (modelo 1) para alocação de rins, o modelo 3 seleciona candidatos com menor número de incompatibilidades de antigénios leucocitários humanos sem penalizar os candidatos com um maior tempo de diálise.Conclusão: A análise e discussão das melhores regras a utilizar na alocação de um bem tão escasso como os órgãos de dador cadáver deve ser um processo contínuo e adaptável à evolução e mutação inerentes à lista de espera de candidatos a transplante.

Introdução: Como a disfagia pode ser uma das sequelas pós-acidente cerebrovascular encefálico, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o tempo médio de recuperação de doentes com acidente cerebrovascular encefálico e disfagia submetidos à terapia da fala na beira do leito hospitalar.Material e Métodos: Revisão sistemática realizada a partir do Preferred Reporting Items is Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. A busca foi realizada em diferentes bancos de dados, sem restrição de tempo e idioma. Os estudos foram avaliados quanto à sua qualidade metodológica.Resultados: De 5671 registos rastreados, cinco estudos foram elegíveis. Obtiveram-se 176 doentes com acidente cerebrovascular encefálico e disfagia (idades entre 22 e 91 anos - média: 68,95), sem prevalência quanto ao género. A melhora no quadro da disfagia ocorreu em 84,26% dos sujeitos e o tempo de recuperação entre um e noventa dias (média: 22). Em nenhum estudo foi realizada a randomização, o cegamento, o manejo de perdas, desistências e realizado com grupo controlo.Discussão: O sucesso da reabilitação da disfagia orofaríngea como sequela pós-acidente vascular encefálico dependerá da extensão, da localização da lesão neurológica e da intervenção precoce no leito hospitalar. Apesar do reconhecimento dos profissionais da saúde sobre a importância da reabilitação da deglutição para esses doentes, há carência de estudos que suportem uma prática baseada em evidências, embora os resultados apontem melhoras neste sentido.Conclusão: A terapia da fala na beira do leito em doentes disfágicos pós- acidente cerebrovascular encefálico parece trazer resultados satisfatórios em curto período de tempo, revelando a importância do diagnóstico e da intervenção da terapia da fala precoces.

Authors: Yusuf Havid , Safitri Dini
Published: July 2018

Diabetes mellitus is a type of a degenerative disorder that affects the body's ability to make or use insulin. The resistance of insulin may affect the decline of GLUT-1 expression of diabetic muscle, causing impaired glucose uptake. Dynamic concentric activity is one of the activity models based on muscle-contraction-type activity. This study used experimental method. The instrument in this study was a treadmill (brand: modified columbus treadmill) with 10-degree slope (uphill), with the velocity of 21 cm/sec (the speed options showed on the treadmill), and the duration of the exercise was 16 minutes and 30 seconds (measured using stopwatch). In this study, there were 3 groups of samples, Normal (K0), DM (K1), and DM + Dynamics Concentric (K2). Based on statistical results of correlation value p=0.00 (p<0.05), there was significant correlation between blood sugar level and GLUT-1. Dynamic concentric activity for diabetics had an effect in increasing the amount of GLUT-1, resulting in decreased blood glucose levels.

Authors: Setyani Dessy Surya , Qibtiyah Mariyatul , Asmaningsih Ninik , Yulistiani Yulistiani
Published: July 2018

Nephrotic syndrome is a condition which is characterized by protein leakage from the blood to the urine through glomeruli. It leads to hypoproteinemia and generalised oedema. Patients with nephrotic syndrome need high dose and long term glucocorticoid such as prednisone. High dose and long term glucocorticoid can increase bone resorption. Biological marker is a valuable tool to evaluate efficacy of therapy. TRAP 5B is a sensitive biological marker for bone resorption because it reflects the number of osteoclasts. TRAP 5B is not affected by renal dysfunction and food. It also has a low diurnal variation than other bone resorption marker. The aim of this study was to analyze the changes of TRAP 5B levels at induction and alternate phase in children with steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome. This observational prospective study was conducted from May to October 2016. Venous blood samples obtained at 08.00-10.00 am. TRAP5B levels were measured before and after induction phase and after alternate phase using ELISA. Fifteen patients were included in this study (60% boys). Majority of their age was 6 - <12 years and 40% were dependent steroid NS. TRAP 5B serum levels in induction phase increased by 37.41%±56.22%. In alternate phase, TRAP 5B serum levels increased by 28.75%±66.55% compared to the induction phase. However, the level change of both phases were not significant. As a conclusion, TRAP 5B levels increased in induction and alternate phase after high dose and long-term prednisone treatment in nephrotic syndrome.

Accurate determination of age is important in the legal process; when a person’s  age is unknown or must be authenticated, a forensic age identification method must be applied. One of such methods is to assess the epiphyseal closure on the bone through radiological examination. The main problem associated with the use of this method is the relevance of the reference population provided because epiphyseal closure is influenced by genetics and nutrition. This method needs data to represent each population. Radiological examination of elbow bones of 30 male patients aged 11-30 years and 18  female patients aged 14-28 years in Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya from January to April 2016 was carried out to determine the time of epiphyseal closure of the radius and ulna distal section. This was cross-sectional descriptive study. In conclusion, epiphyseal closure of proximal radius and ulna is complete at age 16 in males and 14 in females.

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the leading cause of male genital tract infection with no symptoms of infertility. Protein E. coli pili hemagglutinin isolated from infertile male sperm with 32.2 kDa MW acts as adhesion in spermatozoa. This study aimed to prove whether E. coli pili adhesin 32.2 kDa MW is toxic to male reproductive system. Samples consisted of spermatozoa of 30 guinea pigs divided into three groups: control, immunized with E. coli pili adhesin 32.2 kDa MW protein, and transurethral infected E. coli. Observations of sperm motility, vitality and morphology were performed under a microscope. MDA levels and sperm DNA damage were measured by a spectrophotometer and comet assay method and observed using a fluorescent microscope. There was no difference between control and immunization group of E. coli pili adhesin in motility (p=0.499), vitality (p=0.817) and morphology (p=0.176); between control and transuretral infection groups in motility (p=0.000), vitality (p=0.000) and morphology (p=0.000); and between control and both treatment groups in motility (p=0.001), vitality (p=0,000) and morphology (p=0.000). Histologic analysis showed E. coli pili adhesin of 32.2 kDa MW immunization group did not suffer from testicular tissue damage, while the positive group showed a deterioration of seminiferous tubular cells. MDA levels differed between immunization group E. coli pili, transurethral infection group, and control (p=0.024) and between transurethral and control (p=0.007) groups. However, between control and immunized group with E. coli pili protein showed no difference (p=0.251). DNA damage differed (p=0.000) between immunized group with E. coli pili, transurethral infection and control group; between control and transurethral infected group (p=0.000); and between transurethral infection group and E. coli pili protein immunization group (p=0.000). However, between control and E. coli pili immunization group showed no difference (p=0.600). In conclusion, E. coli pili adhesin 32.2 kDa MW protein is not toxic for sperm quality and the quality of sperm molecules.

Indonesia is highly populated of a total 238,452,952 people with 274,396 gastritis cases. However, psychosomatic gastritis was just reported by very few patients. Because of the common gastritis cases in Indonesia and with the act of Healthcare and Social Security Agency or BPJS, so primary health cares should diagnose and manage the cases. This study aimed to determine the diagnosis and management of psychosomatic gastritis at a primary health clinic in West of Surabaya. It was a case study. It was a case on a woman aged 45 years old. She was high school graduate, married and had a child. She experienced reflux gastritis and psychiatric condition of depression and anxienty disorders. She was treated by psychiatrist at the first time and self-medicated for the gastritis. After stopping visiting the psychiatrist, she had problems of gastritis in four months. Then, she was referred to internist and examined Ultra Sonography of abdominal organs with normal result. There was a conventional method to determine psychosomatic gastritis that consicting of life styles, psychologic factor, social factor, and behavior assessment. This patient was a local migrant who struggled to gain a better life in the city, had a trigger for his father's death, had a relatively low socioeconomic state and lived in a monthly boarding house, and was a part-time worker. First-line care should establish a psychosomatic diagnosis of gastritis and treat psychological disorders together with their somatic abnormalities. Thus, the first level of health services must provide holistic services consisting of physical, psychological and social aspects.
Literature, Ideology, and the Voiding of Aesthetic Categories: de Man, Derrida, Lacan
Authors: Levinson Brett
Published: July 2018

This article studies examines the relationship of literature, ideology, and reading through a study of language, or la langue, as explored by De Man, Derrida, and Lacan. It attempts to show that structure, assumed to be the given of language, even within deconstruction, is, as structure, that which undoes structure. Literature explores this possibility of language, which is that it be and not be at the same time. The article finishes by studying the connection between this idea of literature as the possibility of language and the possibility of man, an important theme of the above three thinkers.
Psychological Resilience and Occupational Injuries

Resilience embodies the personal qualities that enable one to thrive in the face of adversity. A previous Italian study showed that injured workers had a lower level of resilience than non-injured workers. The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between occupational injuries and psychological resilience. The subjects were 197 drivers from two Finnish waste transport companies. As a part of larger questionnaire, they fulfilled the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, which consisted of 25 items. Drivers reported their occupational injuries during the last three years. The drivers involved in occupational injuries had higher score (average 69.3) on Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale than drivers avoided injuries (67.7). According to Student’s t-test the difference between groups was highly significant (t = 40.44, df = 196, p<0.001). The result of this study was contradictory to earlier Italian study. One explanation may be that the Italian study was done with traumatic context with seriously injured patients. Waste transport drivers were rather young and fit males, who had suffered only minor injuries.

The indication for using chemical devices as an adjunct of domestic oral hygiene has become increasly used in last decades, usually following mechanical instrumentation. The efficacy of chemical devices for oral biofilm control is proven by evidence from clinical studies. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of a new oral gel named ADC to reduce oral bacterial loading investigated by means of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Materials and methods: A total of 10 patients with a diagnosis of chronic periodontitis in the age group >25 years, were selected. None of these patients had received any surgical or non-surgical periodontal therapy and demonstrated radiographic evidence of moderate bone loss. Four sites in separate quadrants were selected in each patient for testing the efficacy of the new medical device. Microbial analysis (MA) was performed at baseline and at day 15. Paired T-Test was used to detect statistical significant reduction of total bacterial loading and specific bacteria. The results showed statistically significant reduction of the overall bacterial loading from baseline to day 15. Results: Specimens of subgingival plaque from a total of patients were investigated for the presence of “red complex” bacterial species by quantitative PCR. The total amount of bacteria detected a statistically significant difference was detected between total bacterial loading pre and post treatment. Total bacteria loading was significant statistically reduced of about 87%, (p = 0.029). Conclusion: In this study, a strong reduction of total bacterial loading using ADC gel as an adjunct to oral home care was observed.

3D plotting is an additive manufacturing technology enabling biofabrication, thus the integration of cells or biologically sensitive proteins or growth factors into the manufacturing process. However, most (bio-)inks developed for 3D plotting were not shown to be processed into clinical relevant geometries comprising critical overhangs and cavities, which would collapse without a sufficient support material. Herein, we have developed a support hydrogel ink based on methylcellulose (mc), which is able to act as support as long as the co-plotted main structure is not stable. Therefore, 6 w/v %, 8 w/v % and 10 w/v % mc were allowed to swell in water, resulting in viscous inks, which were characterized for their rheological and extrusion properties. The successful usage of 10 w/v % mc as support ink was proven by multichannel plotting of the support together with a plottable calcium phosphate cement (CPC) acting as main structure. CPC scaffolds displaying critical overhangs or a large central cavity could be plotted accurately with the newly developed mc support ink. The dissolution properties of mc allowed complete removal of the gel without residuals, once CPC setting was finished. Finally, we fabricated a scaphoid bone model by computed tomography data acquisition and co-extrusion of CPC and the mc support hydrogel.

Indonesian people comprises of a lot of ethnic groups and some of them stay and live together sharing the same area. As each of the ethnic groups has specific culture and value, this research wanted to know how the value of family relationship assimilated across the ethnic groups, particularly among Dayaks, Melayunese, and Javanese transmigrants in Rasau Jaya village, Kubu Raya District, West Kalimantan. The research conducted in 2010 aimed at identifying, describing, and analyzing the cross ethnic assimilation process of the family relationship value. To meet the purpose of the research, analysis model based on Peter Blau’s theory was employed and descriptive naturalistic method was used. The data were collected by using interview, structured observation, and document study techniques. The result of the research indicates that cross ethnic assimilation of family relationships value are done through value transformation and implementation, family union, appropriate moral value, democracy, togetherness, and solidarity. Various ethnic cultural backgrounds do not hinder the establishment of harmonious life of the ethnic groups. Based on the findings, the research provides a set of recommendations for the policy makers and further research.

This research is grounded on the fact that a lot of civillians are unemployed as they do not have enough knowledge and skills to work. On the other side, the increasing number of conversions from horticulture plants to rubber plants has caused the people’s demand for top rubber seeds to increase too.This research therefore wanted to find out the type of KWD Model to increase the entrepreneurship competency of the learning participants. Based on this objective, this research developed correlational and differential research questions. The correlational investigation was needed to examine the contribution of the independent variables toward the dependent variable (the increase of the entrepreneurship competency) of the learning participants. Meanwhile the differential investigation was needed to examine the effectiveness of the model.The result of the research indicates there is a positive and significant contribution of the learning participant’s interest, achievement motivation, the learning participant’s participation, technical resourceperson’s competence, the training curriculum, the infrastructure and facilities, the intstructional process, and the executing institution toward the increase of the entrepreneurship competency of of the learning participants both individually or all together. The test of model effectiveness proves a positive and significant difference between the designed model and the existing model.
