Cooking Affects Glucosinolate Concentration in Mustard Leaves and Seeds
Authors: Malabed Raymond S. , Noel Marissa G. , Aton Benjamin III C. , Toribio Erika Anne F.
Published: February 2020

Glucosinolates in mustard leaves (Brassica juncea L.) and seeds (Brassica nigra L.) were investigated via chemical analysis of their major components and the activity of their hydrolysis products. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) revealed that raw seeds have the highest amount of glucosinolates among the samples tested. Boiling of mustard leaves for 15 minutes significantly reduced the total glucosinolate content (10.94 mmol/g) to up to ~80% in comparison with the raw sample (54.31 mmol/g) which is attributed to thermal degradation of glucosinolates or leaching out to the boiling medium. Similarly, roasting of mustard seeds resulted in a marked decline in total glucosinolate content to 33.70 µmol/g compared with that of raw seed samples (86.18 µmol/g) due to thermal degradation. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) revealed that sinigrin (allyl glucosinolate) is the major glucosinolate in mustard leaves, while the seeds contain sinigrin and gluconapin. Allyl isothiocyanate was identified as the major hydrolytic product using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The amount of isothiocyanates were quantified via cyclocondensation reaction and HPLC analysis. Boiling of leaves and roasting of seeds have no significant effect on the total isothiocyanate in comparison with the raw samples. However, the amount of isothiocyanates increases upon hydrolysis in the presence of exogenous myrosinase. Lastly, mustard leaf extracts were found to possess antioxidant properties due to its ability to scavenge free radicals as evidenced by the DPPH assay, which could be attributed to bioactive isothiocyanates inherent in the plant samples.
Method validation for protein quantitation of fish muscle tissues from Lake Taal, Batangas
Authors: Delima David John Eliezar , Trio Phoebe
Published: February 2020

Lake Taal is one of the largest producers of inland fish in the Philippines and has one of the largest freshwater wet markets in Luzon. These unregulated wet markets sell fishes in unreasonable prices and thereby, exploit the knowledge of consumers on the validity of the prices. This study was designed to quantify the proteins in fish muscle tissues and to validate the effectivity of the various protein quantitation methods. Twelve different species of fish samples were freshly collected from Lake Taal. Muscle tissues were removed and lyophilized before subjecting to comparative protein quantitation methods using direct photometry, ovalbumin assay, and Bradford’s assay. These techniques were selected due to their accessibility and the use of photometry for quantitation. The results show that the means were significantly different for all the methods according to ANOVA. These results were confirmed with post-hoc Tukey HSD test, Scheffe test, and Bonferroni and Holm multiple comparison (BHMC) tests with p < 0.01. Bradford’s Assay was the ideal method with an RSD of less than 1% for all the samples, with no negative concentrations, and with concentration ranging from fifteen to twenty percent. P. leopardus had the highest amount of proteins, followed by M. cephalus, L. plumbeus, C. chanos, H. quoyi, and A. semipunctata. Interestingly, the study revealed that O. niloticus, which is one of the species with a high market price had the lowest protein concentration. With these results, the lowly commercialized fishes such as M. cephalus, L. plumbeus, H. quoyi, and A. semipunctata which are used as gamefish, fish bait, and aquarium displays should be commercialized more than the unstable populations of P. leopardus and C. chanos. Overall, this study revealed comparative information on protein quantitation methods, and market price-nutritional values correspondence.

Authors: Rocha Margarida Cristiana Napoleão , Nobre Mauricio Lisboa , Garcia Leila Posenato
Published: February 2020

Objective.To describe the temporal trends of leprosy indicators among the elderly in Brazil in 2001 – 2018.

Methods.This was an ecological time-series study of new leprosy cases in the elderly reported to the Notifiable Diseases Information System. Prais-Winsten generalized linear regression was used to estimate temporal variations.

Results.There were 687 317 new leprosy cases in Brazil from 2001 – 2018, of which 129 214 (18.8%) were among elderly people. Overall detection rates in the elderly and of new cases with grade-2 disability showed a falling trend, with an annual percent change of -4.6% (95%CI = -5.1 to -4.0) and -3.9% (95%CI = -4.6 to -3.2). New case and new multibacillary case proportions showed an increasing trend, with an annual percent change of 2.9% (95%CI = 2.6 to 3.3) and 1.4% (95%CI = 1.0 to 1.7), respectively. Detection rates for new leprosy cases in elderly people in Brazil are decreasing, but the proportion of new cases and multibacillary cases are trending upwards.

Conclusions.New cases are shifting to older age groups, and demographic transition and immunosenescence are an influence. Inadequate reduction of grade-2 disability indicates a high risk of physical disability persists. Improved contact tracing and more effective action are needed in this age group.

Religious Koplo Dangdut Music: Cultural Identity and Religious Expression
Authors: Wasim Arif Al , Handoyo Handoyo , Khanifa Nurma Khusna
Published: February 2020

Humans and culture are two things that are interrelated and cannot be separated from each other. Religion and music are two things that have a relationship with culture. Religious messages and da'wah are often displayed in the packaging of musical art and bring religious music. The development of music in Indonesia in the past two decades gave rise to one of the dangdut music sub-genres, known as Koplo dangdut, which in its performance also often inserted religious messages and presented them in the religious Koplo dangdut format. This article examines Koplo dangdut as the cultural identity and religious expression of coastal communities, which is seen as a cultural reality, with an anthropological approach. The study is conducted with an ethical perspective, where the writer only observes without being directly involved in the object of observation. The main data in this study is the religious koplo dangdut music video from YouTube. Koplo dangdut, which is famous for its vulgarity and directness in the lyrics of the song, reflects the cultural conditions of the song performers with a background in coastal Javanese society. However, the religious side of the Koplo dangdut music genre still appears in the religious koplo dangdut sub-genre. Religious expressions that appear in the stage of religious koplo dangdut are artistic expressions which include dimensions of belief (ideology), experience (ahlak), and knowledge.

A Comprehensive Numerical Study on Building-Excavation Interaction
Authors: Maddah Arman , Soroush Abbas
Published: February 2020

This paper presents results of a plane strain comprehensive numerical study on the interaction between a 31-meter-deep excavation and an adjacent 12-story building; the study emphasizes on parametric analyses with respect to the building characteristics, such as the building width in plan (B), i.e., the side perpendicular to the excavation wall, the embedment depth of the building foundation (D), as well as the building distance to the excavation edge (e). Through the parametric analyses and assuming different values for B, D, and e, settlements and rotations of the building and horizontal displacements of the excavation edge were computed and evaluated using the finite element method adopted in PLAXIS 3D software. Prior to the parametric study, the numerical modeling was verified by modeling a recorded case study, which is an anchored deep excavation adjacent to a 12-story building. The results of the parametric analyses suggest that for the given soil and excavation, (1) the position of the developing potential failure surface, PFS, in the soil behind the excavation is almost independent from the building location and (2) the position of the building with respect to the outcrop of the PFS in the excavation crest, i.e., if the building locates fully on the potential failure wedge or PFS intersect the building base, is the main factor affecting the induced displacements and rotations of the building.
La mise en scène des pièces de théâtre européennes par Ali Raffi en Iran et Circulation des savoirs entre la France et l’Iran
Authors: Mahdavi Zadeh Mojgan
Published: February 2020

Résumé

Des traces de diverses cérémonies plutôt rituelles datant de l'Antiquité  prouvent la fertilité de l'histoire du théâtre persan. Il y a eu même à cette époque des échanges culturels entre l'Orient et l'Occident. Au cours des siècles, les rites traditionnels ont cédé la place à des genres de théâtre populaire tels les farces, les comédies, les marionnettes, les imitations mimétiques, …etc. Puis, des conteurs se sont mis à réaliser les récits à épisodes basés sur des histoires épiques, de divers romans picaresques, des lamentations pour les Imams martyrisés, sur des places publiques ou dans des maisons de thé. Ce n'est qu'au XIXe siècle que le théâtre moderne d'inspiration occidentale a été créé par les témoignages des étudiants envoyés en Europe pour se spécialiser en diverses technologies occidentales. En 1886, une première salle de théâtre a été construite à l'École Polytechnique de Téhéran (Dâr Ol- Fonûn), où la traduction du Misanthrope de Molière, y a été mise en scène en 1889. Sous le règne des Pahlavis, fut créé un théâtre nationaliste, se référant au passé préislamique de l'Iran. Puis, vu que les iraniens diplômés en études théâtrales et cinématographiques des universités, des grandes écoles et des conservatoires européennes se sont mis à traduire les pièces de théâtre étrangères, les pièces ont pris un air socio-politique. Sous la Révolution islamique, le théâtre a vécu plusieurs périodes de détente et de tension. Et enfin, depuis 1997, une autorisation de la mise en scène des pièces de théâtre a été émise de nouveau. Ali Raffi, iranien contemporain, dont la dernière réalisation théâtrale à Téhéran date du mois de Janvier 2019, a su exposer l'essentiel de sa conception esthétique par le mépris total des conventions scéniques mises en pratique en Iran. L'esthétique de ses pièces a suscité des discussions sans nombre. Il a toujours privilégié la couleur, le mouvement et l'intuition. Il a eu une influence considérable sur la mentalité du peuple iranien par la mise en scène des pièces de théâtre françaises ou européennes traduites vers le français. Notre problématique consiste à mettre en évidence les échanges interculturels qui se sont effectués entre l'Iran et la France grâce à la mise en scène des pièces de théâtre européennes en Iran et de voir l'innovation créative et le rôle d'Ali Raffi dans l'enrichissement de ces transferts culturels et artistiques. Notre but est de mettre en relief la circulation des savoirs, issue de la mise en scène des pièces de théâtre françaises par les réalisateurs iraniens, en particulier par Ali Raffi en Iran, de démontrer l'omniprésence des grands auteurs dramatiques, tragiques et comiques français dans ce pays, et de dévoiler que les élites intellectuelles iraniennes vivent en symbiose permanente avec ces éminents auteurs français.

Modern Day Slavery and Assimilation in Canada: An Exploration of the Analogous Nature of the Prison System and the Residential School System
Authors: Egor Aruoriwo
Published: February 2020

While the idea of slavery seems to be a dreadful story from the past, the effects of colonization in Canada has resulted in a restriction of freedom and rights for Indigenous people to this day. Several colonizing principles and institutions were put in place in order to control and erase an already established people and culture. One of those colonizing institutions is the residential school system established as part of the Indian Act in the 1800s. In a modern context, the same idea of the residential school system seems to be perpetuated in today's capitalist society, by the Canadian prison system. This paper explores this seeming realationship by portraying the actions of the Canadian government to claim the land and create a new economy and government. This paper also explores this relationship by portraying how colonialism, capitalism and patriarchy are "three sides of the same coin".
PENENTUAN UKURAN BUTIR KRISTAL CuCr0,98Ni0,02O2 DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN X-RAY DIFRACTION (XRD) DAN SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE (SEM)

Published: February 2020

Telah dilakukan pengukuran ukuran butir Kristal CuCr0,98Ni0,02O2 dengan menggunakan persamaan Scherer dan analisa langsung menggunakan Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Kristal CuCr0,98Ni0,02O2 disintesis dengan menggunakan metode solid state reaction.  Untuk dapat mendapatkan data menggunakan persamaan Scherer, sampel harus terlebih dahulu dikarakterisasi menggunakan X-Ray Difraction (XRD). Hasil penghitungan menggunakan persamaan Scherer menunjukkan ukuran butiran Kristal sebesar (0,113 ± 0,015) µm dengan ralat relatif sebesar 13,2 %. Sedangkan pengukuran secara langsung menggunakan SEM menunjukkan ukuran butir Kristal sebesar (1,08 ± 0,23) µm dengan ralat relatif sebesar 21 %. Perbedaan hasil penghitungan dengan hasil pengukuran menggunakan SEM disebabkan karena morfologi lapisan. Morfologi kristal yang dihasilkan oleh scanning berkas elektron sekunder pada SEM memungkinkan untuk mendapatkan perbesaran gambar yang cukup sehingga dapat dilakukan pengukuran secara langsung. Sedangkan penghitungan ukuran butir Kristal CuCr0,98Ni0,02O2 menggunakan  persamaan Scherer berdasarkan prinsip difraksi sinar X dengan jarak antar celahnya adalah jarak antar atom pada Kristal sehingga untuk mendapatkan data ukuran butir Kristal menggunakan persamaan Scherer sampel harus terlebih dahulu dikarakterisasi menggunakan XRD. Selain itu, karena dilakukan secara langsung pengukuran hasil karakterisasi menggunakan SEM bukan mengukur ukuran butir Kristal melainkan ukuran partikel.

Published: February 2020

Background

Although arterial stiffness has demonstrated moderate heritability, our knowledge of the genes modulating arterial stiffness is still limited. We conducted genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of aortic distensibility (AoD) in both ascending (AA) and proximal descending aorta (PDA) to discover novel genetic loci.

Methods

Our study included ~14,500 European-ancestry participants in the UK Biobank study. AoD in AA and PDA were assessed at the level of pulmonary artery bifurcation using transverse cine images obtained from 1.5 Tesla cardiovascular magnetic resonance scanners1. Relative cross-sectional aortic area change was calculated using an automated tool2. GWASs were performed in a discovery cohort (n= 3,841), with replication in 9,630 individuals. We also performed GWASs for each trait in the combined cohort (n= 14,596). All GWASs were performed under a linear mixed model and adjusted for age, sex, height, weight, systolic blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, genotype array type and the first ten principal components.

Results

We found three significant loci (p< 5 × 10−8) for AA AoD and six for PDA AoD (Figure 1A). The ELN locus was discovered and replicated for AA AoD, and was significantly associated with PDA AoD in the combined cohort (Figure 1B). ELN encodes elastin a central component of elastic fibres in the heart and blood vessels. The most significant locus for PDA AoD was FBLN5; FBLN5 encodes fibulin 5 which is vital for elastic fibre formation.

Conclusions

In the first GWAS of AoD, we discovered seven unique loci. These results enhance our understanding of the biological processes underlying arterial stiffness.
4.3 Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity Measured by Occlusive, Suprasystolic, Oscillometric Method (Arteriograph) Independently Predicts all Cause Mortality
Authors: Illyes Miklos
Published: February 2020

Introduction

It has been long debated whether Arteriograph predicts cardiovascular events and/or all cause mortality, despite that its prognostic value has been proven in systolic heart failure and in myocardial infarction already. However, no data were available about the prognostic value of this method in general population.

Materials and Methods

Altogether 4146 subjects in the age range of 35–75 years (mean age 53.2 ± 9.2 years, male/female 2042/2104, SBP/DBP 136.5/82.1 ± 20.1/11.3 mmHg, treated hypertension 47.6%, treated diabetes 8.5%, total se-cholesterol 5.2 mmol/l) were measured in multiple centers in Hungary. Subjects visited the outpatient centers on their own initiative. Information on registered hospitalization events, mortality and medical treatment was provided by the Hungarian National Health Insurance Fund (HNHIF). For privacy protection reasons the data were managed and analyzed by the HNHIF. The PWVao measurements were performed by an invasively validated occlusive, suprasystolic, oscillometric method (Arteriograph).

Results

The mean follow-up was 5.5 years. 116 all-cause mortality events were observed. By univariate analysis 1 m/s increase in PWVao resulted HR: 1.71 (1.47–1.98; 95% CI). In multivariate Cox analysis Aortic PWV independently predicted (p = 0.002) the all-cause mortality in the final model of multivariate analysis (1.34 [1.12–1.62]) adjusted for age, gender, mean arterial pressure, pulse pressure, ejection duration and antiplatelet drug treatment. Body mass index, smoking, heart rate, blood pressure, augmentation index, diabetes, and cardiovascular drug therapy were all accounted for.

Conclusion

The PWVao, measured by an easy-of-use, user independent, oscillometric method in a large population, proved to be a strong, independent predictor of all-cause mortality.

Authors: ÇEVİK İpek Fatma
Published: February 2020

Alman kadın canlandırma sanatçısı ve yönetmen Lotte (Charlotte) Reiniger'in keserek oluşturduğu detaylı karakter ve nesnelerin poz verildiği sahnelerle 250.000'den fazla karenin çekilmesiyle ürettiği silüet canlandırma filmi Prens Ahmed'in Maceraları (The Adventures of Prince Achmed) sinema tarihinin ilk uzun metrajlı canlandırma filmlerinden biri oldu. Üretimi üç yıl süren 60 dakikalık bu canlandırma film 1926'da ilk gösterimini yaptığında Reiniger henüz 26 yaşındaydı. Kendi buluşu (1924) olan çok katmanlı kamera Tricktisch’i kullanarak ürettiği canlandırma filmler ile 1919 ve 1980 yılları arasında olan uzun üretim hayatı boyunca duraklı çekim tekniğinin gelişimine katkı sağladı. Reiniger, İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nın tüm yıkıcılığına karşın Doğu’nun büyüleyici masallarını ve oryantal güzelliğini Batılı bir kadın yönetmen ve canlandırma sanatçısı olarak tüm dünyaya izletmeyi başardı. Alman kadın yönetmen ve canlandırma sanatçısı Lotte Reiniger'in canlandırma sanatına katkısı ve İkinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında Berlin bombalanmasında hasar görerek 2001 yılında İngiltere’de onarılan silüet canlandırma filmi Prens Ahmed'in Maceraları, bu araştırmanın konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra duraklı çekim tekniği (stop-motion) ve Prens Ahmed'in Maceraları canlandırma filmi yöntemi ele alınmıştır. Tricktisch’in icadından sonra canlandırma film üretiminde uzun bir süre aktif olarak kullandığı görülse de günümüzde yerini bilgisayar destekli canlandırma programlarının aldığı fikrine varılmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra 1001 Gece masallarından esinlenen filmde görkemli saraylar, prenses, cadı, peri ve mistik kuşlar, uçan at ve efsanevi canavarların yer aldığı görülmüş; günümüzde ise çağın teknolojik imkân ve olanakları ile yüksek bütçeli canlandırma filmler olarak devam ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
THE EFFECT OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS ON ECONOMIC GROWTH AND EXPORT: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS ON D8 COUNTRIES
Authors: ENGİN Merve
Published: February 2020

The level of national income is an indicator for the level of development. Besides, when the population is taken into account for the potential of the country, income per capita becomes also important. Foreign direct investments (FDI), are important for economic growth and foreign trade especially for developing countries. Developing countries try to attract foreign investments to improve their economies. Because, the economic growth theory suggests that accumulation of capital contributes to economic growth. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of foreign direct investments on economic growth and export in D-8 countries, which is an organization for economic cooperation, namely Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Egypt, Iran and Turkey. For this aim the dynamic panel data analysis is used to investigate the effect of foreign direct investments on economic growth and export for those countries over the period 1994-2018 and the findings of this study reveal that foreign direct investments have positive and significant effect on both growth and export.

Alfaxalone is an injectable anesthetic agent that is used in veterinary medicine for general anesthesia. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of alfaxalone delivered through continuous rate infusion by comparing ketamine–xylazine–alfaxalone (KXA) anesthesia with ketamine–xylazine
(KX) anesthesia in Sprague–Dawley rats. Anesthesia was induced in male and female rats by using subcutaneous KX. After induction, rats in the KXA group received alfaxalone (10 mg/kg/h IV) for 35 min, whereas rats in the KX group did not receive alfaxalone. At the end of the trial, alfaxalone
was discontinued, and xylazine was reversed in all rats by using atipamezole. Throughout anesthesia, we assessed forepaw withdrawal reflex (FPWR), hindpaw withdrawal reflex (HPWR), response to surgical stimulation, heart rate, respiratory rate, SpO2, body temperature, and time to
standing. KXA produced a reliable surgical plane of anesthesia, as evidenced by the loss of both FPWR and HPWR and lack of response to surgical stimulation in all 16 rats, whereas only 6 of the 16 rats in the KX group lost HPWR. No rat in the KXA group regained a paw withdrawal reflex during
alfaxalone administration, whereas 3 of the 12 rats (25%) in the KX group that reached a surgical plane of anesthesia exited that plane within the 35-min timeframe. Neither heart rate, respiratory rate, SpO2, body temperature, nor time to standing differed between KXA and KX groups;
and there were no sex-associated differences in anesthesia response. These results indicate that alfaxalone (10 mg/kg/h IV) delivered through continuous rate infusion, in combination with ketamine and xylazine, provides a safe, prolonged, and reliable surgical plane of anesthesia in rats.

Indonesia has a high biodiversity of snakes. Snake species that exist throughout Indonesia, consisting of venomous and non-venomous snakes. One of the dangers that can be posed by snakes is the bite of several types of deadly snakes. Snake bite cases recorded in Indonesia are quite high with not a few fatalities. Most of the deaths caused by snakebite occur due to errors in the handling procedure for the bite wound. This problem can be overcome one of them if we know how to classify snake bite wounds, whether venomous or non-venomous. In this study, a classification system for snake bite wound image was built using Regionprops feature extraction and Decision Tree algorithm. Snake bite images are classified as either venomous or non-venomous without knowing the kind of the snake. In Regionprops several features are used to help the process of feature extraction, including the number of centroids, area, distance, and eccentricity. Evaluation of the model that was built was found that the parameters of the number of centroids and the distance between centroids had the most significant influence in helping the classification of images of snakebite wounds with an accuracy of 97.14%, precision 92.85%, recall 91.42%, and F1 score 92.06%.

Published: February 2020

Passing Grades are often used as a benchmark for opportunities or considerations of graduation to college. And from the passing grade, we can also see the level of graduation to the state higher education study program, because if the passing grade is higher then the graduation level of the study program is lower and vice versa, if the passing grade is getting lower then the higher the level of graduation to the study program . The problem that occurs is the knowledge of the passing grade, because every student does not know about the passing grade of each major at a state tertiary institution in Indonesia. Which will make students / i will be hesitant and hesitant to choose majors and colleges that have the opportunity and ability of students to achieve majors and colleges that students want. Based on the above problems will be solved using the string maching algorithm, the zhu takaoka algorithm. Which will do the character or criteria matching and will bring up output that has the same or matching. In addition this research is based on Android, which will enable its use to be faster, easier and efficient.

C4.5 algorithm is a decision tree algorithm group. This algorithm has input in the form of training samples and samples. While samples are data fields which we will use as parameters in classifying data. From the variable transaction frequency the company can see which customers are loyal to the company based on historical customer transaction data, but there are still some variables that make customers loyal to the company. These variables are age, customer gender, company sales gender, educational background, customer  transaction frequency. The company knows how to predict customers who will be loyal to the company based on the experience of some of the variables above, but the company does not know the most influential variable in the assessment of loyal customers because of some of the variables above are not interconnected and it is uncertain if one variable can make a decision whether the customer loyal. Based on the decision tree that has made the most influential attribute on customer loyalty is the educational background because it has the highest gain value of 1.545292721 and as the root of the decision tree while the client's gender does not significantly affect customer loyalty because it is always at the last node with the gain value which is 0.623919119.
