Usaha pengolahan ikan asin menjadi sangat penting bagi penduduk yang tinggal di daerah pinggir laut dan daerahnya menjadi kurban rob. Tambak yang sudah menyatu dengan laut akibat rob, menyebabkan pendapatan masyarakat menurun drastis. Hasil-hasil melaut dan tambak tidak dijual dalam keadaan mentah, namun ikan dan udang bisa diolah menjadi produk lain yang lebih menarik. Permasalahan yang dihadapi adalah kesulitan pengeringan ikan jika hujan, tingginya kadar minyak goring sehingga olahan makanan cepat tengik, dan makanan olahan cepat melempem. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan usaha pengolahan ikan asin di desa kurban rob sehingga menjadi mandiri secara ekonomi. Tujuan ini diraih melalui melalui peningkatan peralatan penunjang dan ketrampilan usaha. Alat pengering, peniris minyak, serta pengemas makanan diterapkan dalam kegiatan ini. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa dengan menggunakan alat pengering, pengeringan tidak lagi tergantung panas matahari. Kapasitas pengeringan meningkat 700% dari keadaan awal 1 kg/jam. Daya tahan gimbal meningkat menjadi 15 hari dari keadaan awal 4 hari. Begitu pula dengan daya tahan gimbal yang meningkat dari semula 7 hari menjadi 30 hari.Kata kunci: Ikan asin, pengeringan, penirisan, kemasan.AbstractSalted fish processing business is very important for residents who live in coastal areas and the area becomes a victim of rob. Ponds that have been fused with the sea due to rob, causing people's income to drop dramatically. The results of fishing and ponds are not sold in raw conditions, but fish and shrimp can be processed into other products that are more attractive. The problem faced was the difficulty of drying fish if it rained, high levels of fried oil so that processed foods quickly rancid, and processed foods quickly sluggish. This activity aims to increase the salted fish processing business in the village of sacrifice rob so that it becomes economically independent. This goal is achieved through increasing the supporting equipment and business skills. Dryer, oil slicer, and food packaging are applied in this activity. The results show that by using a dryer, drying is no longer dependent on the sun's heat. Drying capacity increases by 700% from the initial state of 1 kg/hour. Dread resistance increases to 15 days from the initial 4 days. Similarly, dreadlocks endurance increased from 7 days to 30 days
Fuelwood use patterns in Rural Mexico: a critique to the conventional energy transition model

Published: November 2018

This article presents an historical account of patterns of household fuelwood use in Mexico from 1960 until the present. The results of scenarios outlining the likely evolution of future fuelwood use according to different socio-demographic and technological variables are offered up to 2030 along with the expected environmental impacts. Mexico is an interesting case as it went from importing oil to becoming an oilexporting country during the historical period under analysis and the use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) intensified in the residential sector. However, rather than exhibiting a sharp decline in fuelwood use, as would be expected from the energy transition model, we observe that fuelwood use has remained almost constant for more than 40 years. In fact, rather than completely switching to LPG, a large portion of rural and small-town households adopted a fuel-stacking strategy, combining both fuels on a long-term basis. We conclude by examining the implications of the current patterns of fuelwood use and fuel-stacking in terms of future fuelwood consumption, numbers of users and emissions of greenhouse gases.

Published: November 2018

The aim of the work was to establish levels of social support in an open urban population for men aged 25–64 years.Material and Methods. Cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted in 1000 males using a representative sample formed by the method of «random numbers» taken from the electoral lists of the Central Administrative District of Tyumen, the response was 85.0%. Social support was evaluated using the Beckmann‑Sim test on the basis of the World Health Organization questionnaire «MONICA‑psychosocial».The results of the study showed that in an open urban population in men aged 25–64 years and in certain age groups, a predominantly low and medium index of close contacts was established. Men of working age are dominated by the medium-high and average index of social ties; in the sixth decade of life, the low index of social ties reaches an absolute maximum, a high index of social ties-an absolute minimum.Discussion. The scientific literature shows that people with high levels of social interaction have better health than those with low levels. Therefore, it is important to study the changes in the social support factor in the population as one of the protective social mechanisms that mitigate the negative consequences of stress. Conclusion. The patterns established in men of an open urban population according to the levels of social support are the scientific basis for planning socially-oriented preventive programs in medium-urbanized Siberian cities.

Objective: to study clinical-biological features of affective disorders including their comorbidity with coronary artery disease and personality disorders and efficacy of psychopharmacotherapy in these patients.Material and Methods. In the first group at a heart station 290 patients with chronic coronary artery disease and affective disorders (209 men and 81 women) were fully examined. The second group included 120 patients (40 men and 80 women) of a psychiatric hospital with affective disorder comorbid with personality disorders. The third group included the study of 29 patients with depressive disorders and a control group (n=21).Results. Data on significant clinical-dynamic, biological and therapeutic features of affective disorders comorbid with coronary artery disease were obtained. It was revealed that presence of a comorbid personality disorder in the case of affective disorders causes the necessity to use a combined psychopharmacotherapy more frequently, worsens indicators of the efficacy of the psychopharmacotherapy of current episode of depression, and increases negative estimation of their social adaptation by these patients. Dysregulation of the processes of programmed cell death in patients with depressive disorders was found.Conclusion. Obtained data testified to the high degree of comorbidity of affective disorders with coronary artery disease and personality disorders which worsened the prediction of the course and indicators of the efficacy of psychopharmacotherapy of these disorders. In patients with depressive disorders the specific weight of mononuclears of peripheral blood was increased in the state of apoptosis.

Published: November 2018

Beef import to Indonesia always gets pros and cons. The government argue that we need it to reduce the high price of beef due to the scarcity. On the other hand, Indonesia is an agrarian country with a lot of cattle farms. We should be able to meet the needs of beef from domestic production without import. The aim of this study is to get the best model for household consumption of beef at the district level, and use the model to estimate the import needs. This study uses data from Statistics Indonesia, both the raw data of National Sosio-economic Survey (SUSENAS) and beef production in district level. The methods of analysis is a robust regression model. The results is robust regression fit the data well. For households need, estimation of household consumption of beef is lower than domestic production. So that, Indonesia does not need to import beef for household need.

Poverty alleviation is a problem faced by many countries in the world, included Indonesia. Poverty in Indonesia still relatively high. Poverty is one indicator of welfare. In general, the decline in poverty means that people's welfare increasing. Poverty is a multi-dimensional problem, which involves various microeconomic and macroeconomic factors, including the influence of the surrounding region. Modeling with geographically weighted regression (GWR) accommodates heterogeneous effects of independent variables on the dependent variable and produces a local parameter estimates. Central Java has the second highest poverty rate among provinces in Java. This study will model poverty in Central Java with a model that accommodates the influence of the surrounding region, named Geographically Weighted Logistic Regression (GWLR). Poverty modeling in Central Java with GWLR, in general, literacy rates (AMH), per capita GRDP, and Labor Force Participation Rate (TPAK) significantly affected poverty in Central Java with values that varied between districts / cities.
Approaches to Measuring Attendance and Engagement
Authors: Gordon Neil Andrew , Grey Simon
Published: November 2018

In this paper, we argue that, where we measure student attendance, this creates an extrinsic motivator in the form of a reward for (apparent) engagement and can thus lead to undesirable behaviour and outcomes. We go on to consider a number of other mechanisms to assess or encourage student engagement – such as interactions with a learning environment – and whether these are more benign in their impact on student behaviour i.e. they encourage the desired impact as they are not considered threatening, unlike the penalties associated with non-attendance. We consider a case study in Computer Science to investigate student behaviour, assessing different metrics for student engagement, such as the use of source control commits and how this measure of engagement differs from attendance.

Personalized education contributes to the motivation of the students and improves student performance. Some tools such as the Intelligent Tutoring Systems have been proposed to this purpose with excellent results. However, most of the existing works have given little attention to the role of the teachers. In this article, an open source framework based on a standard intelligent tutoring system is presented. The framework aims at reducing the implementation costs and the complexity of the interfaces, in addition, the framework considers the participation of teachers. The framework was used to create a math course for an elementary school student, and will be used as a basis for the personalization of a Small Private Online Course.

Authors: Moquillaza Arturo , Paz Freddy , Falconi Fiorella , López Raysa
Published: November 2018

The Communicability Evaluation Method (CEM) is a technique proposed by Semiotic Engineering that measures the degree to which adequate communication is achieved between designers and users is achieved through the user interface. The case studies found in the literature focus on desktop applications or web applications. In this study, we present the results of a Communicability Evaluation on an ATM System in the Self-Service domain. The experimental case was executed by specialists in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) at the request from BBVA Continental to define which of two user interface proposals would be better received by its customers, as well as being less intrusive to the current retirement experience. The operation was called "Retiro Seguro" and consisted in offering a micro-insurance during the navigation of a withdrawal. Current customers were asked to perform some tasks on both proposed interfaces in a realistic environment. We concluded that the second proposed interface was better at achieving design objectives and we proposed implementing an intermediate solution.

PELESTARIAN ARSITEKTUR BERDASARKAN ARCHITECTURAL ARCHETYPES MELALUI METODE GRAFIS
Authors: Arinto FX E
Published: November 2018

Title: Preservation in Architecture Based on Architectural Archetypes Through the Graphic Methods Preservation of cultural heritage is an obligation so that future generations can still enjoy the cultural riches that their predecessor generation has made. In reality, changes occur over time. These changes are sometimes uncontrollable and cause damage to artifacts. They ultimately eliminate the source of discourse and even its characteristics. To maintain cultural sustainability, preservation must be based on the characteristics of the cultural heritage itself. The problem is how to explore and obtain these cultural characteristics so that they can become a foothold in developing further designs. The graphic method for artifacts is one method that helps to explore archetypes, basic characters contained in artifacts in an easier way. This basic character will later become a guideline for the development of a sustainable design. Keywords: preservation, archetypes, graphic methods, sustainable design
PARTISIPASI MASYARAKAT DALAM MEWUJUDKAN KAMPUNG WARNA-WARNI TELUK SERIBU KOTA BALIKPAPAN

Published: November 2018

Title: Community Participation In The Development Of Kampung Warna-warni Teluk Seribu In Balikpapan City The growth and development of the city is one of driving factors for the emergence of slums in urban areas. Slums are usually located on the outskirts of the city, an example of which can be found in Balikpapan known as “Kampung Nelayan” slum area.  A common condition takes place in other big cities in Indonesia, and this has led the government to formulate programs and policies by issuing government regulations Undang-undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2011 concerning to Housing and Human Settlement Areas.  It is stipulated in the regulation that “The management of slums must be carried out by the central  Government, local Government and/ or by every individuals”.  To improve the welfare and a better life quality, active community participation is needed to build sustainable habitable human settlements.  In order to explore more about this concept, a research was conducted at Kampung Nelayan Warna-warni Teluk Seribu. The research aims at learning more about the roles of the community and obstacles encountered in developing Kampung Nelayan Warna-warni Teluk Seribu. The method used is descriptive analysis through observation, interview, literatures study, and related documents. The result of the research shows that community participation plays a successful role in developing Kampung Nelayan Warna-warni Teluk Seribu as one of the tourist attractions in Balikpapan which, then, leads to economic enhancement of local community and Balikpapan city. Keywords: slums, community participation, sustainable
Spray characteristics of a fuel–water internally rapid mixing injector for burner combustion

Published: November 2018

The fuel-water internally rapid mixing type of injector has been developed to reduce NOx and soot emissions from combustion furnaces operating under high-load conditions. The injector allows spray injection of water emulsified fuel originating from base fuel and water without any surfactants. The aim of present study is to elucidate the mechanism of emulsification occurring in the injector and the atomization characteristics of the injector. We measured the sizes of fuel droplets discharged from the injector by means of a high-speed shadowgraph method combined with image processing. Soybean oil was used as the base fuel. The flow patterns of the fuel and water in a transparent mixing chamber of the injector were also visualized. In addition, we investigated the inner structure of the large droplets sampled by an immersion droplet sampling method. The base fuel, water and air are separately introduced into the injector. In the mixing chamber of the injector, fuel and water are blown by swirling air, and then impinge on the inner wall of the chamber. The base fuel is emulsified through the mixing of fuel with water resulting from the impingement. The emulsified fuel moves to injection holes along the inner wall, and is finally discharged through the injection holes with atomizing air. The probability profiles of droplet size exhibit that the existence probabilities of coarse droplets with diameters greater than approximately 35 mm are increased when the fuel is emulsified. Although the emulsification deteriorates the atomization capability of the injector, the secondary atomization including the micro-explosion occurring in combustion furnaces would form fine droplets, and thus reducing the soot emission from the furnaces. The microscope observations revealed that the emulsified fuel filling in a large droplet sampled corresponds to W/O type.
Neural Network-based formula for the buckling load prediction of I-section cellular steel beams
Authors: Abambres Miguel , Rajana Komal , Tsavdaridis Konstantinos , Ribeiro Tiago
Published: November 2018

Cellular beams are an attractive option for the steel construction industry due to their versatility in terms of strength, size, and weight. Further benefits are the integration of services thereby reducing ceiling-to-floor depth (thus, building’s height), which has a great economic impact. Moreover, the complex localised and global failures characterizing those members have led several scientists to focus their research on the development of more efficient design guidelines. This paper aims to propose an artificial neural network (ANN)-based formula to estimate the critical elastic buckling load of simply supported cellular beams under uniformly distributed vertical loads. The 3645-point dataset used in ANN design was obtained from an extensive parametric finite element analysis performed in ABAQUS. The independent variables adopted as ANN inputs are the following: beam’s length, opening diameter, web-post width, cross-section height, web thickness, flange width, flange thickness, and the distance between the last opening edge and the end support. The proposed model shows a strong potential as an effective design tool. The maximum and average relative errors among the 3645 data points were found to be 3.7% and 0.4%, respectively, whereas the average computing time per data point is smaller than a millisecond for any current personal computer.
Healing Dysfunctional Identity: Bridging Mind-Body Intervention to Brain Systems
Authors: Ho S. Shaun , Nakamura Yoshio
Published: November 2018

In this paper, we aim to use an innovative model to integrate applied work on a fast-acting mind-body intervention, Mind-Body Bridging (MBB), with theoretical work based on psychology and neuroscience. In an affect-object generative inference and regulation (AGIR) model, we propose that functional dynamics between two systems, the affect-object thought generation system and the cognitive control system, can guide an individual to achieve homeostasis within self and harmonious relationships with others. We used Neurosynth (www.neurosynth.org), an automated meta-analysis database, to identify potential brain substrates underlying the key components in the AGIR model. Based on the findings, some brain regions are implicated as the key cortical substrates in this model, corroborating our central hypothesis that a hallmark of mind-body wellbeing can be characterized as a low-frequency anti-correlantion between 1) the cognitive control system including the dorsal anterior/middle cingulate cortex, and 2) the affect-object thought generation system including the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate cortex. MBB provides an efficient strategy for responding to and dissolving a fundamental problem that impairs mind-body wellbeing, i.e. , unrealistic identity-grasping consisting of self-centered embodied expectations of self and others. We demonstrated how theoretical and applied work could be integrated by drawing evidence from the neuroscience literature to support the AGIR model, and then we applied the AGIR model to elucidate how MBB might work.
When and why do third parties punish outside of the lab? A cross-cultural recall study
Authors: Pedersen Eric J. , McAuliffe William H.B. , Ohtsubo Yohsuke , McCullough Michael E.
Published: November 2018

Punishment can reform uncooperative behavior, and hence could have contributed to humans’ ability to live in large-scale societies. Punishment by unaffected third parties has received extensive scientific scrutiny because third parties punish transgressors in laboratory experiments on behalf of strangers that they will never interact with again. Often overlooked in this research are interactions involving people who are not strangers, which constitute many interactions beyond the laboratory. Across three samples in two countries (US and Japan; N = 1,294), we found that third parties’ anger at transgressors, and their intervention and punishment on behalf of victims, varied in real-life conflicts as a function of how much third parties valued the welfare of the disputants. Punishment was rare (1-2%) when third parties did not value the welfare of the victim, suggesting that previous economic game results have overestimated third parties’ willingness to punish transgressors on behalf of strangers.
The validity of RFID badges measuring face-to-face interactions
Authors: Elmer Timon , Chaitanya Krishna , Purwar Prateek , Stadtfeld Christoph
Published: November 2018

Face-to-face interactions are important for a variety of individual behaviors and outcomes. In recent years a number of human sensor technologies have been proposed to incorporate direct observations in behavioral studies of face-to-face interactions. One of the most promising emerging technologies are active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) badges. They are increasingly applied in behavioral studies because of their low costs, straightforward applicability, and moderate ethical concerns. However, de- spite the attention that RFID badges have recently received, there is a lack of systematic tests on how valid RFID badges are in measuring face-to-face interaction. With two studies we aim to fill this gap. Study 1 (N = 11) compares how data assessed with RFID badges correspond with video data of the same interactions (construct validity) and how this fit can be improved using straightforward data processing strategies. The analyses show that the RFID badges have a sensitivity of 50% that can be enhanced to 65% when flickering signals with gaps of less than 75 seconds are interpolated. The specificity is relatively less affected by this interpolation process (before interpolation 97%, after interpolation 94.7%) – resulting in an improved accuracy of the measurement. In Study 2 (N = 73) we show that self-report data of social interactions correspond highly with data gathered with the RFID badges (criterion validity).
Prior Experience Informs Ensemble Encoding
Authors: Crawford L. Elizabeth , Corbin Jonathan Charles , Landy David
Published: November 2018

People quickly form summary representations that capture the statistical structure in a set of simultaneously presented objects. We present evidence that such ensemble encoding is informed not only by the presented set of objects, but also by a meta-ensemble, or prototype, that captures the structure of previously viewed stimuli. Participants viewed four objects (shaded squares in Experiment 1; emotional expressions in Experiment 2) and estimated their average by adjusting a response object. Estimates were biased toward the central value of previous stimuli, consistent with Bayesian models of how people combine hierarchical sources of information. The results suggest that an inductively learned prototype may serve as a source of prior information to adjust ensemble estimates. To the extent that real environments present statistical structure in a given moment as well as consistently over time, ensemble encoding in real-world situations ought to take advantage of both kinds of regularity.
Što mjerimo pseudoriječima i kako mjerimo pseudoriječi

Published: November 2018

Ponavljanje pseudoriječi jedna je od najčešćih mjera fonološkog radnog pamćenja. Unatoč učestaloj uporabi, nerijetko se pri izradi pseudoriječi malo pažnje posvećuje parametrima koji ih određuju, a pri uporabi zadatka ponavljanja pseudoriječi ne preispituje se uloga ostalih procesa i mehanizama fonološke obrade koji ga podupiru. U skladu s tim, načinjena je lista pseudoriječi varirajući duljinu (broj slogova) i fonološku složenost (strukturu sloga, tj. pristup i odstup sloga). Cilj je ovoga rada utvrditi povezanost ponavljanja pseudoriječi s drugim mjerama radnoga pamćenja – pamćenjem brojeva i slogova. Lista pseudoriječi primijenjena je kao mjera radnoga pamćenja na uzorku djece s posebnim jezičnim teškoćama (N=10, KD: 10;06). Uz ponavljanje pseudoriječi radno je pamćenje mjereno ponavljanjem slogova te ponavljanjem brojeva (WISC-IV). Rezultati pokazuju značajnu i pozitivnu korelaciju između ponavljanja brojeva i slogova, no ponavljanje pseudoriječi nije povezano ni s jednom drugom mjerom radnoga pamćenja. Čini se da ponavljanje pseudoriječi oblikovanih na taj način ne odražava samo opseg radnoga pamćenja, već i intaktnost fonološkog sustava.

This study discusses about the Islamic economic law system in the practice of pohulo'o in Gorontalo society. This study is examined through normative and socio-cultural approaches. Data obtained from interviews, documentation and questionnaires with 150 respondents. The results of the study show that: First, the practice of pohulo'o has basically produced a lot of pawn (al-rahn) in the sharia economic legal system, both related to harmony and its requirements; Second, the relevance of pohulo'o between the concept of al-rahn in the Islamic economic law system is related to: (a) the existence of a contract from the terms and conditions which have similarities; (b) the practice of pohulo'o with conservation of pawnshops (upilohulo'o) which tends to be carried out by the pawn holder (popohulo'o), although it is a pawn (tampohulo'o) and may also use it. However, in this case it depends on the agreement or contract that has been made. Ulama differs their views on this matter.

Published: November 2018

Area of the StudyAs a significant determinant of the competitiveness and effectiveness of the entity, this study is to discuss what attributes of employer or determinants of Employer Branding (EB) are paramount for the attraction of final year management undergraduates towards the employer in Sri Lanka. Problem of the Study Theoretical and empirical gap of the knowledge available, especially in Sri Lanka with regard to determinants of EB which effect to the selection of future employer of the final year management undergraduates. Method of the study For the purpose of the study, data were collected from a randomly selected 300 final year management undergraduate students from 03 government universities in Sri Lanka by administrating a structured questionnaire, which consisted of 32 questions/statements with 7 point scale. The data analysis included the univariate and bivariate analyses. Findings of the Study The findings of the study are undergraduates more concern over the development, economic and social dimensions when they choose their future employer. The preference over the factors does not have significant impact based on the gender while there is significant differences of perceptions occur on factors of EB based on the level of academic achievement of the students. Furthermore the preferences over the EB factors have some differences based on the academic institution. Female students more prefer to be employed in public sector than the private sector compared to the male students. Conclusion of the Study It is concluded that in order to attract young talented graduates towards the employer, the organization must have a climate which fulfill the developmental, social and economic needs of the employees.

Authors: Lušnic Polak Matea , Demšar Lea
Published: November 2018

The nutritional value of three muscles (Longissimus lumborum, Biceps femoris and Triceps brahii) sampled from six horses of breed Posavec and two meat products were determined by the physicochemical, instrumental and sensory analysis. The basic chemical composition (water, fat, protein and ash content as well as fatty acid profile) and the pH value on raw muscles and two meat products were analysed. Horse meat steaks of 2.5 cm thickness were thermally treated on a double hot-plate grill at a temperature of 220 °C to the internal temperature of 65 °C. Sensory evaluation of the heat-treated samples and meat products were followed by quantitative descriptive analysis using a structured scale. The instrumental measurements of colour (CIE L*, a*, b*) and texture (shear force on muscles and the Texture Profile Analysis test on products) were carried out. On average, 100 grams of meat contains 72.44 ± 1.94 g of water, 1.96 ± 2.33 g of fat, 21.52 ± 1.30 g of proteins, and 1.02 ± 0.06 g of ash, and pH value of 5.64 ± 0.05. Horse meat express an extremely beneficial fatty acid composition (containing 37.8 wt. % of saturated, 36.8 wt. % of monounsaturated and 17.6 wt. % of polyunsaturated fatty acids), the P/S ratio of 0.5 and the n-6/n-3 ratio of 3.6. The tenderer texture is found in the Longissimus lumborum muscle, followed by the Triceps brahii muscle and the Biceps femoris muscle.

Effect of breed and sex on analysed quality parameters of beef carcasses

The aim of this study was to determine level of the influence of breed and sex, as well as their interaction on slaughtering traits of beef halves. The study was conducted on 80 beef cattle of which 40 were Simmental (20 male and 20 female) and 40 beef cattle (20 male and 20 female) were meat crossbreeds of Charolais, Limousin, Blonde d’Aquitaine cattle. Sex had a significant effect on slaughtering traits (P<0,001). Male of beef cattle had a significantly more favorable parameter values of weight slaughtering halves and netto daily weight gain (P<0,001). The breed had also a significant impact on slaughtering parameters (P<0,001). Significantly better parameter values of weight slaughtering halves, netto daily weight gain and dressing percentage were found in a group of crossbred beef cattle (P<0,001). Therefore, from the obtained results it can be concluded that the crossbreed cattle had a significantly better quality of beef halves (P<0,001).

Liquen Plano Blaschkoide Facial como Expresión de Mosaicismo Cutáneo, a Propósito de un Caso
Authors: Ullrich Constanza , Gonzalez-Cuevas Ruben , Uribe Cristian
Published: November 2018

El liquen plano es un trastorno inflamatorio adquirido de etiología desconocida que, excepcionalmente, puede presentarse de forma lineal, debido a la predisposición genética de un clon que se produce durante el desarrollo embrionario. El liquen plano lineal o Blaschkoide de localización facial, es aún más infrecuente, y traduce una mutación genética postcigótica, que así como en otras patologías inflamatorias dermatológicas, aumenta la susceptibilidad de los individuos a desarrollarla.

Published: November 2018

En la última década se ha avanzado en la caracterización genética y mapeo molecular del melanoma cutáneo con el objetivo de identificar y comprender mejor los mecanismos patogénicos propios de cada subgrupo y así desarrollar tratamientos específicos. El melanoma lentiginoso acral (MLA) constituye un subtipo de melanoma con características clínicas, epidemiológicas, histopatológicas, pronósticas y terapéuticas distintivas y su perfil mutacional no es la excepción. A diferencia del melanoma ubicado en zonas fotoexpuestas, el MLA presenta una baja tasa de mutaciones BRAF (15%) y mayor frecuencia de amplificaciones y ganancias genéticas de KIT (15-30%), CCND1 (15-40%) y TERT (20%). En esta revisión se describen las características más relevantes del MLA con énfasis en el rol que cumplen los principales genes que participan en la patogenia del MLA.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by loss of memory and other cognitive abilities. AD is associated with aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) deposited in the hippocampal brain region. Our previous work has shown that tocotrienol rich fraction (TRF) supplementation was able to attenuate the blood oxidative status, improve behavior, and reduce fibrillary-type Aβ deposition in the hippocampus of an AD mouse model. In the present study, we investigate the effect of 6 months of TRF supplementation on transcriptome profile in the hippocampus of APPswe/PS1dE9 double transgenic mice. TRF supplementation can alleviate AD conditions by modulating several important genes in AD. Moreover, TRF supplementation attenuated the affected biological process and pathways that were upregulated in the AD mouse model. Our findings indicate that TRF supplementation can modulate hippocampal gene expression as well as biological processes that can potentially delay the progression of AD.

Published: November 2018

The elastic vibration response of coat layered semiconducting microcantilevers, which were excited with a frequency-modulated pump laser and detected with another probe beam, was studied experimentally and theoretically in this paper. The photothermal vibration frequency spectra were measured and analyzed for a set of microcantilevers with different coating thickness at the region near the first resonant frequency. Also the vibrations of microcantilevers were calculated using coupled carrier dispersion, thermal wave and elastic wave equations. The results showed that the experimental results had a good agreement with the theoretical ones.

Published: November 2018

In order to reveal the effects of insertion speed with hydrogel coatings on tissue injury, comparative experiments were carried out with the naked neural probes (as the reference) and probes with PVA-H coatings based on tissue injury evaluation system. It was found that the coatings of the neural probes would cause more serious tissue injury during the insertion process. And the insertion speed could alleviate the negative effects on the tissue injury caused by implantation of neural probes.
Torque ripple reduction in brushless wound rotor synchronous machine by two-phase excitation winding
Authors: Sirewal Ghulam Jawad , Lipo Thomas Anthony , Kwon Byung-il
Published: November 2018

This paper presents a research on reducing the torque ripple in a brushless wound rotor synchronous machine (BL-WRSM). The basic brushless topology generates a third-harmonic current component in the stator to excite the rotor. The rotor has two types of windings, field winding and harmonic winding, which are connected with each other through a rotor mounted diode rectifier. Field winding has same number of poles as that of the stator armature winding to generate torque while the harmonic winding has three times the number of poles as that of the armature winding, to induce third harmonic current component and excite the field winding. In this paper, the rotor harmonic winding is split in two branches and further a capacitor is connected in series with one branch to create a phase difference. Phase difference between the two harmonic winding branches reduces the peak-to-peak value of the DC current fed to the field winding and hence the torque ripple is reduced. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is performed to verify the reduction in ripple percentage.

Elucidating causes of infertility is important to conduct proper treatment for infertility. Mechanical characteristics of the endometrium may be mentioned as a cause of infertility. In this paper, we focus on softness of the endometrium. As a fundamental research for the softness measurement of the endometrium, we developed a system for measuring softness of cylindrical objects by using a balloon catheter. The measurement system is composed of a balloon catheter, a syringe and a pressure sensor. Young’s modulus of cylindrical objects is calculated from balloon radius and internal pressure when the balloon is expanded in the object. In the experiment, we prepared four kinds of cylindrical samples with different softness. By using the measurement system, Young’s modulus of each cylindrical sample is estimated. And the estimated values are compared with Young’s modulus measured by compression test. From the results, it was found that the developed system is effective for measuring softness of cylindrical objects.
Feasibility study of fatigue damage detection of strands using magnetostrictive guided waves

Published: November 2018

Fatigue is one of the common damages in strands for long-term using. Therefore, the detection of fatigue damage in strands is very important to guarantee its reliable operation. In this paper, the feasibility of fatigue damage detection of strands using magnetostrictive guided waves is studied. The coupling efficiency of magnetostrictive guided waves is used to distinguish the fatigue damage of strands. A direct current solenoid magnetizer is used to get the relationship between the strength of bias magnetic field and the peak to peak value of magnetostrictive guided wave signal on fatigue and no fatigue area of a strand. The coupling efficiency of excitation and receiving process of magnetostrictive guided wave is obtained by the relationship. The results show that the fatigue damage reduces the coupling efficiency of excitation and receiving process of magnetostrictive guided waves. Besides, the optimal bias magnetic field strength which makes the highest coupling efficiency of fatigue area is larger than no fatigue area. These results well verify the feasibility of using magnetostrictive guided wave technology to detect fatigue damage of strands. This study provides a new method for fatigue detection of strands.

In this paper, a Lamb wave imaging method based on the linear array focusing-time reversal (LAFTR) technique is presented. The steps of the LAFTR imaging method for large scale steel plate are concluded. The COMSOL software is used to establish the finite element model for the steel plate testing based on LAFTR method, and the MATLAB software is used to realize the imaging program. Finally the experimental results indicate that the LAFTR method can get high precision images for the steel plate.
