Non-vesicular lipid transfer at ER and plasma membrane (PM) contact sites (CS) is crucial for the maintenance of membrane lipid homeostasis. Extended synaptotagmins (E-Syts) play a central role in this process as they act as molecular tethers of ER and PM and as lipid transfer proteins between these organelles. E-Syts are proteins constitutively anchored to the ER through an N-terminal hydrophobic segment and bind the PM via a variable number of C-terminal C2 domains. Synaptotagmins (SYTs) are the plant orthologous of E-Syts and regulate the ER–PM communication in response to abiotic stress. Combining different structural and biochemical techniques, we demonstrate that the binding of SYT1 to lipids occurs through a Ca2+-dependent lipid-binding site and by a site for phosphorylated forms of phosphatidylinositol, thus integrating two different molecular signals in response to stress. In addition, we show that SYT1 displays three highly flexible hinge points that provide conformational freedom to facilitate lipid extraction, protein loading, and subsequent transfer between PM and ER.

Published: August 2021

Background: Formaldehyde (FA) is the reactive and simplest of all the aldehydes. It is used as a preservative in anatomy, pathology and forensic laboratories. The international agency for research on cancer has classified FA as a carcinogen that can cause nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Leukaemia, Liver and pancreatic cancer. Objective And Method: The aim of the study was to assess the DNA damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes and in buccal cells by Micronucleus assay in Formalin exposed workers of Anatomy, Pathology and Forensic laboratories and compare with the control group, and also to analyze the relationship between frequency of Micronuclei and duration of exposure to formalin. Results: The mean and standard deviation (SD) of micronuclei in peripheral blood of exposed was 8.35 and in controls was 4.18. There was a significant increase in the frequency of MN in exposed group when compared with the comparison group (p<0. 5876). Pearson’s correlation test showed a positive correlation between the years of FA exposure and the number of micronuclei in buccal cells and peripheral blood indicating that DNA damage due to FA was directly proportional to the duration of exposure (r=0.8, 0.9). Conclusion: The present study was done to assess the DNA damage in people who were exposed to FA and a control group not exposed to FA by buccal cell and peripheral blood Micronucleus Assay. There was a significant increase in the MN in people exposed to FA which was directly proportional to the duration of exposure.

Authors:   Associate Professor, Department of Anatomy, A.C.S Medical College and Hospital, Velapanchavadi, Chennai, Tamil Nadu., M Shruthy K
Published: August 2021

Background: Anatomy is one of the basic subjects a first- year of M.B.B.S student has to learn. It is the keystone to the foundation of the medical curriculum. Knowledge of Anatomy is extensively related in context to almost every aspect of the Medical Curriculum and practice of medicine. Hence it needs to be taught and learned efficiently by medical graduates. The current study aims to record and analyze the effect of teaching methodologies like problem-based learning (PBL) and tutorials when combined with didactic lecture among first -year medical undergraduate students. Materials and Methods: This comparative study was done at A.C.S Medical College and Hospital .150 first- year M.B.B.S students had given consent to participate in the study. All students attended to didactic lectures. They were randomly split into 2 groups (Group A and Group B-75 in each). Group A and B were further divided into 3 small groups (25 students in each). Both groups are to undergo tutorial and PBL sessions for 4 selected topics in Gross Anatomy of Abdomen during the practical session. A Pre-test followed by a post-test was given to compare the knowledge acquired by the students. Self-administered feedback was taken to understand the preferred methodology. Results: On data analysis, the paired T showed a significant difference between the means of Pre-test and Post-test marks (P=.001) in both the groups exposed to didactic lectures with tutorials and didactic lectures with PBL, thus indicating that knowledge acquired in both teaching-learning methods was of significance. Knowledge gained in didactic lectures with PBL was significantly higher (P=0.001) than from didactic lectures with tutorials. 76% of students preferred and accepted PBL as a better teaching methodology Conclusion: The current study clearly states with PBL is more effective in terms of critical thinking and concept building. However, students want both PBL and tutorial sessions to be included along with didactic lectures.

Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, Meenakshi, Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Kancheepuram, INDIA., S Saravana Kumar
Published: August 2021

Background: Mental foramen is situated in the anterolateral aspect of the body of the mandible. It lies below either the interval between the premolar teeth or the second premolar tooth, midway between the upper and lower borders of the body of the mandible. It transmits mental nerves, arteries, and veins. The mental nerve is a branch of the inferior alveolar nerve which supplies sensation to the lower lip, labial mucosa, lower canines, and premolars. The most useful injection for anaesthetizing the mandibular teeth is the inferior alveolar nerve block. To anaesthetize the anterior teeth including canines and premolars it is better to inject the anesthetic solution adjacent to the mental foramen instead of giving inferior alveolar nerve block. Aim: To Study the Morphological and Morphometrical Study of Mental Foramen in Dry Adult Human Mandible and Its Clinical Relevance in dental practice. Materials and methods: A total of 100 numbers of dry adult mandibles of unknown sex with complete dentition and intact alveolar sockets collected from the Department of Anatomy, Meenakshi Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, were used for this study. The shape, size, location, number of the mental foramen, direction of opening of mental foramen was measured on both sides of the mandible by using a vernier caliper. Results: The most frequent position of mental foramen was in line with the apex of the 2nd premolar (right side 86.1% and left side 84.75%). The second common position was between 1st and 2nd premolar (Right side 5.2% and Left side 5.85%). The shape of the mental foramen was oval in 63.3% and rounded in 36.7% respectively. The direction of opening of mental foramen in most of the mandible was posterosuperior. The mean distance from mental foramen to symphysis menti, lower border of the mandible, and posterior ramus of the mandible was 26.67mm, 11.76 mm, and 62.95mm respectively. The mean measurement of the angle of the mandible was 128°. Conclusion: Knowledge about the Morphometric measurement of mental foramen is important during various surgical dental procedures.

Authors:   Associate Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Madurai Medical College, Madurai, INDIA., Sasirekha G
Published: August 2021

Background: Cigarette smoke has been implicated as a major risk factor in various diseases associated with endothelial dysfunction like essential hypertension, atherosclerosis and related cardiovascular dysfunction. Nitric oxide, an important second messanger plays a pivotal role in maintaining vasomotor tone and its level is also found to be altered in many chronic vascular disorders. The particulates in cigarette smoke is presumed to affect the production NO in vascular endothelium. Hence, it is proposed to study the effect of cigarette smoking in influencing Nitric oxide level. The study sample comprised of 138 chronic smokers and144 apparently healthy nonsmokers . Plasma glucose, total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and triglyceride concentration (TGL) were determined enzymatically and serum NO index (NOx) estimated by Griess method. It was found that serum NOx level was not influenced by biochemical parameters like plasma glucose and lipid profile. The estimated mean NOx levels was slightly lower in smokers(15.92 with SD 5.4) than in nonsmokers (16.66with SD 6.73) . However the difference was not statistically significant ( P= 0.31). It is concluded that there is no significant correlation between serum nitric oxide level and smoking, based on this study.

Published: August 2021

Background: Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional disorder in the pregnant women. This study was conducted to investigate the possible contribution and impact of iron status on pregnancy in a costal population. One hundred seventy pregnant women aged between 18-38 years are taken in the current study. The women were followed up weekly till delivery after which neonatal anthropometrics and other birth out comes were recorded. Mean serum Hemoglobin, ferritin and iron were found to be lower in 3rd trimester as compared to 1st trimester, which become lower at postpartum then reach nearly to normal value during lactation. While serum ferritin was found to be lower in 2nd trimester as compared to 1st trimester, it was significantly higher in 3rd as compared to second trimesters and also decreased at postpartum and lactation. Serum TIBC, transferrin and Fe/TIBC levels increased during 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimesters, Serum TIBC also elevated at postpartum, then decreased during lactation. This result provides that, it is important to detect which form of iron become abnormal during trimesters of pregnancy, postpartum and lactation which may lead to cause of nutritional deficiency in pregnant women, so as to reduce public problem.

Isu penting yang berkembang di tengah-tengah geliat perkembangan profesi pegawai negeri sipil di Indonesia adalah masih relatif rendahnya tingkat pendapatan yang diperoleh pegawai negeri sipil bila dibandingkan dengan karyawan-karyawan swasta atau BUMN. Bahkan banyak pihak yang mengkambing hitamkan aspek gaji sebagai faktor penyebab pada rendahnya integritas pegawai negeri sipil, termasuk penyebab terjadinya korupsi atau penyelewengan-penyelewengan kekuasaan dan wewenang dalam lingkungan kerjanya. Terkait hal  tersebut  Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten Jeneponto menetapkan kebijakan terkait upaya untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan  dan  kinerja  dari PNSD yaitu  dengan memberikan  tunjangan kinerja daerah (TKD) berupa Tambahan Penghasilan Pegawai (TPP) kepada seluruh PNSD. Kebijakan ini ditetapkan dalam Peraturan Bupati Jeneponto Nomor 39 Tahun 2018 tentang Perubahan Atas Peraturan Bupati Jeneponto Nomor 4 Tahun 2018 Tentang Tambahan Penghasilan Pegawai Negeri Sipil di Lingkungan Pemerintah Kabupaten Jeneponto. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif yang menguji tingkat ekspalanasi. Tipe penelitian ini adalah asosiatif yaitu menghubungkan dua variabel atau lebih, sedangkan sesuai prosesnya dan jenis datanya penelitian ini besifat kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 1) Kompensasi finansial langsung yang diterima pegawai berupa insentif, dan Uang Tambahan Penghasilan yang dibayar berdasar prestasi kerjanya, pembayarannya sering tidak memuaskan pegawai, sehingga kemampuan pemenuhan kebutuhan pegawai sering tidak dapat terpenuhi, 2) Kompensasi finansial tidak langsung yang diberikan kepada pegawai masih sering adanya keluhan pada kualitas layanan asuransi kesehatan terutama berkaitan dengan pengadaan obat-obatan bagi pegawai yang sakit. Sedangkan dari segi fasilitas kerja, cukup memuaskan, 3) Kompensasi non finansial, masih adanya pegawai yang merasa tidak adil dalam pengangkatan dan penempatan pegawai dalam jabatannya. Sedangkan lingkungan kerja terdapat iklim yang cukup kondusif dalam bekerja, dan 4) Hasil uji hipotesis terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan pemberian kompensasi terhadap kepuasan kerja pegawai, di mana nilai koefisien regresi memperlihatkan bahwa setiap peningkatan kompensasi pegawai akan diikuti oleh kenaikan kepuasan kerja  mereka dalam bekerja, dalam arti bahwa pemenuhan kebutuhan-kebutuhan pegawai, baik kebutuhan fisiologis berupa kompensasi langsung (berupa uang) maupun kompensasi dalam bentuk tidak langsung (pengembangan karier) berpengaruh secara positif terhadap kepuasan kerja pegawai.

Effects of organic acid on the physicochemical properties of gelatine extracted from Fringescale sardinella (Sardinella fimbriata) bones
Authors: Arshad N.M. , Abd. Ghaffar M. , Mohtar N.F.
Published: August 2021

Gelatine from marine sources especially from the fish becomes a popular alternative to
replace the commercial gelatines from bovine and porcine. Fringescale sardinella
(Sardinella fimbriata) is commonly used in the fish processing industry and has a high
potential to produce gelatine from its by-products. The extraction of gelatine is one of the
most important steps that influence its functional properties. Inorganic acid was
commonly used in the extraction, however, nowadays it faces some issues due to health
safety and its effect on the environment. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of
organic acid (fruit vinegar) as a replacement for inorganic acid (hydrochloric acid) during
extraction on the physicochemical properties of S. fimbriata gelatine. The extracted
gelatines were characterized in terms of their physico-chemical properties such as the
yield percentage, gel strength, melting point, molecular weight, structural composition,
and amino acid analyses. Results showed that gelatine extracted with organic acid
demonstrated low yield percentage (2.9±0.01%) and poor gel strength (75.9±1.06 g) and
melting point (22.0±1.00°C) values compared to the standard. This gelatine also
demonstrated a low amount of proline and hydroxyproline contents, which were
43.77±8.21 g/mg and 34.99±6.50 g/mg, respectively. Overall findings have suggested that
different types of acid used in the extraction resulted in different physico-chemical
properties of the gelatine. Such findings suggested that S. fimbriata bone hold the
potential to be an alternative source for vast applications in industries. Further studies may
focus on different concentrations of acid used in the extraction process. Such findings will
help to improve S. fimbriata bone gelatine properties for extended uses in various
industries.

Thermal preservation using the canning method is a promising alternative for retaining the
maximum quality of the foods. Recently, the rising awareness of the nutritional value of
canned products has received the attention of various researchers, as canned food can offer
both healthy and convenient solutions to consumers. The present study reported the
nutritional values and presence of food additives and preservatives in different Ayam
BrandTM canned foods in tomato sauce namely sardines (CS), mackerel (CM) and baked
beans (CB), canned tuna flakes in water (CTF) and canned tuna in mayonnaise (CTM)
compared to the fresh and home-cooked food samples. The canned products, CS and CM
contain significantly higher (p<0.05) amounts of Omega-3 but are lower in protein
compared to their fresh counterparts. The calcium compositions of canned sardines and
mackerels are 10-fold higher than fresh and home-cooked, contributed by the soft and
brittles bones which enriched with calcium. The nutritional values of canned products
were maintained throughout the storage period throughout the span of 3 years, with
insignificant changes (p>0.05). Regardless of canned or fresh food samples, there was no
total dietary fiber, benzoic acid, sorbic acid and sulfur dioxide detected in all samples
except for the dietary fiber in the baked beans. CS and CTM contained significantly
(p<0.05) higher amounts of glutamic acid than their fresh counterparts and the glutamic
acid in all canned products ranging from 0.001-0.37 mg/g which is within the acceptable
daily intake of 13 g/day. The natural glutamic acid was contributed by the raw materials of
fish and tomato sauces themselves. No MSG was detected in all canned products.
Therefore, it is safe to consume canned food products that greatly representing fresh and
home-cooked foods without compromising with the nutritional values
I don't know you, Random Man: Adolescent female perceptions of procedural justice during police contact
Authors: Lennox Kirsty
Published: August 2021

This study explored female adolescent perceptions of procedural justice during police interactions in New Zealand. Available research on youth and procedural justice, is male-focused or treats youth as homogenous. No recent research has investigated female interactions with police, although police are the gatekeepers to the criminal justice system, and the rate of female incarceration is increasing rapidly in New Zealand. This qualitative study is feminist-informed and employed semi-structured interviews of 11 female adolescents who had experienced police contact within the previous five years. Transcripts of these interviews were subjected to thematic analysis and three key themes were identified: invasion of space, communication of authority, and presentation of risk. The results indicate that gender dynamics do influence female adolescents in their navigation of these three themes, and thereby, impact their perceptions of procedural justice during police encounters.

Published: August 2021

Creative pedagogy has been explored extensively, and previous research suggests that there is a gap between the level and practice of creativity of science teachers, and that it varies by school location. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of creativity, and creativity practice of primary school science teachers, and differences in the levels of creativity and creativity practice of primary school science teachers based on school location. The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) were used to acquire qualitative data from 20 participants, and a questionnaire of creativity practice in science teaching was used to collect quantitative data from 409 participants. The qualitative data were analyzed according to the TTCT scoring technique and the quantitative data were analyzed descriptively using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 26. This study found that, that while overall teacher creativity was low, the teachers perceived that they employed highly creative practices. No difference was found in relation to environment, teaching aids, skills and science process skills of teachers in urban and rural areas. However, teachers in rural areas were more knowledgeable about creativity, while teachers in urban areas were better at practising it. This research provides baseline evidence on current practices in creative pedagogy of science teachers nationwide.

The case explores the marketing strategy of a German winery with a focus on sales and channel management. Mr. Voss, the CEO of a state-owned winery and the central character of the case has realized a turn-around of the winery in the last ten years. He raised the quality of the wines and increased the productivity of the estate. Saint Bernhard thereby grew in size and wine output with strong extension of the sales channels. Volatility in annual yields, lower yields compared to other wine regions, unforeseeable costs, and disadvantageous regional reputation jeopardized the financial benefits of the restructuring. While direct to consumer sales have been the cornerstone of the business model, decreasing customer loyalty and the need for growth made Mr. Voss turn towards indirect sales channels (B2B), selling via retail partners or restaurants. The expansion secured the sales of additional production of Saint Bernhard’s wines. Apparently, the strategic shift reduced the flexibility of the estate. The indirect sales channels partners required delivery at set prices even in situations where Saint Bernhard suffered from lower yields and therefore less wine availability or higher costs than calculated. As wine sales through B2B channels are realized at lower prices than B2C there is a trade-off between sales and profitability. Although the owners were willing to follow his strategic reorientation and supported his decisions a lack of profitability was a nuisance. Fine-tuning the marketing and sales strategy with focus on channels is needed.

Introduction: behavioral addictions, and particularly video game addiction, are showing a notable rise in recent years, which is why the latter is already considered a disorder by the WHO. This disorder has been researched in relation to various variables highlighting the importance of the family context; which is why it´s recommended to delve deeper regarding specific aspects about the role that the relationship between parent and child can have in the development of said addictions. Objective: Analyze the relation between the risk of developing Internet gaming disorder (IGD) and the perception a group of university students have of their parents´ parenting process (maternal and paternal). Method: 94 university students belonging to science faculties from Lima, Perú participated. The Internet Gaming Disorder Test - IGD-20 (Pontes et al., 2014) and the Adolescent Family Process scale - AFP (Vazsonyi et al., 2003) were used. Results: significant associations between both constructs were found in relation to the mother’s parenting, but not with the father´s parenting. It shows a positive correlation between IGD and the perception of support from the mother (r=.24, p

Air Conditioner (AC) devices in Duta Wacana Christian University 2nd floor Agape computer laboratory are turned on in the morning and turned off in the evening manually by the computer laboratory officer every day after all the classes are over. Whereas there are sessions when laboratory rooms are not used, but the AC is still on. So, there is a waste of electricity. It wastes time and energy in vain. Therefore, the implementation of AC control and scheduling can be the solution. The implementation includes a program for PC that is used to control the AC and IR module that is attached to the computer laboratory’s AC. IR module consists of NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller and IR LED. All microcontrollers are connected to the internet over a WiFi network. The microcontroller substitutes conventional remote control. From the result, it can be concluded that the AC control and scheduling system is successfully implemented and worked well with good performance. After the system is implemented, computer laboratory officers no longer need to turn on and off the AC manually every day. Therefore, it can save energy and time. Besides that, waste of electrical energy can be minimized, because AC will turn off automatically when the laboratory room is not used.

Computer network conditions that are dynamic and also complex make network operators often make mistakes in the configuration of a network device. However, these mistakes can be resolved by the emergence of a centralized programming approach which is now known as Software Defined Network (SDN). In addition, with the development of information technology, several services in computer networks also grabbed a lot of attention from the world, such as video streaming services. A video streaming service that is so massive is capable of having an impact on data traffic on computer networks. In SDN networks, controllers are a core component of this architecture. Currently, many different types of SDN controllers can be used, however, choosing a controller in an SDN network must be an important concern. This is related to the performance of the SDN controller which is a requirement for SDN network development. This research will analyze the performance of the video streaming service using the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) streaming protocol in testing two SDN controllers, namely Pox and Opendaylight. Based on the tests that have been carried out, it produces Quality of Service (QoS) values in the form of throughput, delay, and jitter. The Pox controller excels in the value of QoS delay and throughput. As for the jitter value, both Pox and Opendaylight controllers have good indexes.

Until now, wood has an irreplaceable function. Building materials, shipping, furniture, sports equipment, carvings and handicrafts using wood. Indonesia has more than 4,000 types of wood, so choosing the right wood is a challenge because choosing the wrong type of wood can make the quality of processed products decline and not as expected. In addition, proper identification of timber can also prevent illegal logging, especially on certain types of wood which are now increasingly scarce. Recognition to wood by looking directly is a difficult thing for ordinary people to do and can only be done by a wood expert, so it is necessary to find a method of recognizing wood that can be used by people independently. One method that can be used to identify type of wood is image processing based on characteristics of wood which include color, fiber direction and texture. This paper will describe recognition of wood-based image processing using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method. This method is derived from Neural Networks with addition of an extraction layer feature, which can reduce free parameters that are not needed by the system. Wood image data used in this study are four types of wood that are often used as raw materials for making houses and furniture, namely Glugu, Teak, Sengon and Waru. Results of this study were able to recognize four types of wood with an accuracy of 95% in 600 epochs/iteration, so that it can be used as a simple, easy and inexpensive wood recognition system.

Yangambin, a lignan isolated from the leaves of Ocotea duckei Vattimo-Gil, has several pharmacological activities described in literature. However, few information about its toxicity has been reported. Red cells represent about 90% of blood cells and have interesting structural and molecular characteristics as experimental models in toxicological studies. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the hemolytic action of yangambin in sheep blood. The hemolysis assay was performed at concentrations of 50, 25 and 12.5 µg/mL of yangambin in triplicate and hemolysis percentage was defined through the absorbance resulting from the test concentrations compared to the positive control. The results showed that yangambin did not cause hemolysis at the concentrations tested, therefore it did not cause damage to the plasma membrane of sheep erythrocytes.
