Published: April 2019

Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogenic bacterium that can cause Listeriosis in humans. The aim of this study is to isolate and enumerate L. monocytogenes and other Listeria species from raw milk and sausage samples collected in East Algeria.
A total of 87 food samples were analyzed according to ISO 11290-1 and ISO 11290-2 methods. Of the samples examined, 10.34% were found to be positive for Listeria spp. Three species of Listeria were detected, in which L. innocua was the most commonly
recovered species (66.67%) followed by L. seeligeri (22.22%) and L. monocytogenes (11.11%).The count for L. innocua ranged from 1.95 to 3.13 log10 (CFU g-1 or CFU ml-1), against 1.65 to 2.48 log10 (CFU g-1 or CFU ml-1) for L. seeligeri. L.
monocytogenes contaminated sausage sample had enumeration results of 1.65 log10 (CFU g-1). The presence of Listeria in milk and sausage samples reflects the no control of hygienic practices.

Published: April 2019

A combination of milk, vegetable proteins and cereals can effectively enhance the quality of cereal protein, which is normally deficient in essential amino acids. The combination can be used in traditional Indian desserts or side dishes such
as Kheer, milk rice or rice pudding and products based on cracked wheat, semolina and vermicelli. The present research work was conducted with the objective of standardizing the process for the development of milk based dessert using bottle gourd and
rice powder in various proportions; as also studying its sensory and nutritional properties. The experiment was replicated three times and the data was statistically analyzed by using analysis of variance and critical difference techniques. A
combination of 4.5% of milk fat, 5% of bottle gourd and 4% of rice powder was the best combination in terms of overall acceptability. Combination of 1.5% of milk fat, 5% bottle gourd and 4% of rice powder was the best in flavour and taste. While a
combination of milk fat 4.5%, 10% bottle gourd and 6 % rice powder had the highest protein, fat, carbohydrate, total solids, ash and energy value on the basis of chemical analysis; but it had a lower percentage of moisture content when compared to
combination of milk fat 1.5%, 5% bottle gourd and 4% of rice powder. These combinations can be employed to address malnutrition as per the taste buds of the individual.

Para ello se toma el caso del Departamento del Atlántico y se explora el proceso de formación de su institucionalidad educativa a partir de una indagación de ordenanzas departamentales publicadas en el periodo 1980-2014. La primera sección del artículo presenta un recuento de eventos históricos relevantes para comprender de la formación del actual sistema de educación básica y media en Colombia y sirve como punto de referencia para interpretar dinámicas educativas regionales durante el periodo de estudio. La narrativa se construye a partir de la lectura de fuentes primarias, y su contraste con fuentes secundarias permite identificar los pocos incentivos con los que cuentan actores educativos importantes tales como funcionarios públicos, rectores, y docentes para impulsar más prácticas de planeación educativa en contexto. Si bien estos hallazgos deben ser verificados con otras fuentes para potenciar su poder explicativo, sientan bases analíticas para debatir los problemas educativos en el norte del país.
Corak Epistemologi Mistis Neoplatonisme dalam Mistisisme Islam
Authors: Aksan Sahjad M
Published: April 2019

Mysticism is an inner struggle in search of light, clues and a way of chatting with the inner realm to reach knowledge through enlightenment. However, epistemically, mysticism is very personal, therefore it cannot be scientifically accountable. In the hands of Plotinus, mysticism seems to be living with its philosophical nuances, so that it is easily explained and adapted as one of the objects of philosophical study. Until now the legacy of the philosophy of Neoplatonism is still exists not only in the academy area, but also penetrated and became the understanding held by some Muslims who engaged in the world of Sufism both philosophical and moral. This indicates that there is freedom to have the people's horizons that can be adopted from anywhere while at the same time indicating the colors of Islamic thought. Understanding mysticism in Islam should indeed not be muzzled for any reason or to be confronted with Islamic understanding that is fiqh or fiqh oriented. Because, exploring Islamic mysticism which is recognized is influenced by the teachings of Neoplatonism, proves and teaches the people that there is a strong relationship between the conception of Shari'a and the conception of Sufism about worship so that they do not need to be contested because they have indicators that perfect the essence of tawhid and worship.

Lecture subjective : implication émotionnelle et cognitive du sujet lecteur
Authors: Rouxel Annie
Published: April 2019

Resumo: A leitura subjetiva designa uma forma de leitura literária que distancia abordagens exclusivamente formalistas da literatura. Ela requer a participação do sujeito-leitor e leva em conta a maneira singular na qual ele se apropria do texto e o remodela investindo em sua personalidade profunda, seus valores, seu imaginário. Esta reflexão se fez sobre a importância heurística, a riqueza, a complexidade do vivido subjetivo na experiência de leitura. Como se exprime a subjetividade do sujeito? Tecem-se quais fios entre a emoção e a cognição? Enfim, como as reações sensíveis dos leitores conduzem às interpretações plurais que conjugam criatividade da recepção e reflexividade crítica? Lugar de formação de si, de construção identitária e cultural, a leitura subjetiva solicita competências que ela desenvolve ao mesmo tempo: capacidade de atenção ao texto e a si lendo, abertura à alteridade, curiosidade e aptidão ao questionamento, exercício do pensamento crítico.Palavras chave: Ensino de literatura, sujeito leitor, leitura subjetiva

Effectiveness of OER Use in First-Year Higher Education Students’ Mathematical Course Performance
Authors: Venegas Muggli Juan Ignacio , Westermann Werner
Published: April 2019

This article examines the effect of two Open Educational Resources (OER) - Khan Academy Collection and a teacher-authored open textbook - on mathematical course performance and attendance amongst first-year higher education Chilean students. It also aims to find out about teachers’ and students’ views on the use of OER in order to understand how these resources are used and valued. To this end, quantitative and qualitative methods were employed. Findings indicate that students in face-to-face classes who used Khan Academy resources obtained better examination grades than students who used the open textbook or relied on traditional proprietary textbooks. Moreover, it was also found that students who used both types of OER had significantly lower attendance levels than students who relied on traditional proprietary textbooks. Finally, it was observed that teachers and students had very positive opinions on the use of both the Khan Academy Collection and open textbook resources.
IDENTIDADE E VOCAÇÃO DO LAICATO: UMA ABORDAGEM HISTÓRICA
Authors: Brighenti Agenor
Published: April 2019

O gradativo processo de “involução eclesial” em relação à renovação do Vaticano II instaurado na Igreja nas últimas três décadas, só estancado oficial­mente como a eleição do Papa Francisco, trouxe de volta o clericalismo, obrigando a teologia a revisitar a questão da identidade e vocação do laicato. Este estudo propõe-se fazer uma abordagem histórica da questão, que tem no período patrístico e na “volta às fontes” levada a cabo pelo Concílio Vaticano II, dois referenciais importantes. A partir do itinerário histórico da Igreja, mostra-se a incompatibili­dade do cristianismo entre uma Igreja configurada no binômio clero-leigos e uma Igreja assentada no binômio comunidade-ministérios, o modelo eclesial normativo neotestamentário.

JAPANESE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REFORM : WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR EFFECTIVE FUNCTIONING OF OUTSIDE DIRECTORS ?
Authors: Suzuki Masaru
Published: April 2019

The topic of outside directors’ functions has been attracting significant attention for many years now, especially in the discussions about corporate governance reform in Japan. Over the last two decades, most listed Japanese companies have voluntarily introduced outside directors into their boardrooms, in line with the gradual change in an overall corporate governance system toward a monitoring board model moving away from the more traditional management board model. It appears the recent trend is for companies to add outside directors to their boards of directors to increase corporate values. In the midst of transforming the management board model into the monitoring board model, closely reexamining the functions of outside directors is necessary. What can be concluded from the lessons learned from recent corporate scandals and the discussions concerning the functions of outside directors is: (1) outside directors should be truly independent from the company’s management; and (2) outside directors need access to the company’s corporate information in order to prevent corporate scandals and to provide appropriate advice to the company’s management.  This paper aims at considering how to make outside directors more effective and their roles more substantial, based on the history of corporate governance reform in Japan.

It is a common norm to describe education as being fundamental to employment and growth in developing economies. While the highest rate of return is believed to be most experienced in those economies with both skilled and unskilled labour, the greatest responsibility lies with the highly qualified in education as they are most significant in policy formulation. Despite this, youth unemployment has remained a challenge in the 21st century that most developing countries like Kenya struggle with. This paper entails a study undertaken to explore the management of youth unemployment in Kenya, with a focus on learning preferences of postgraduate students. The study employed a descriptive survey design using the cross-sectional approach to data collection. The population of the study comprised 397 post-graduate students at Africa International University from which a sample size of 199 post-graduate Diploma, Masters’ level and Doctoral students were obtained. Questionnaire guide was used for data collection of information on the age and learning preferences of the students. Data analysis was done by descriptive and inferential statistics using regression techniques and presented in tables.  A modified version of the Grasha-Riechmann Student Learning Style Scales (GRSLSS) was the learning style inventory that was used to measure student learning preferences. The findings revealed that the majority 161(95.3%) of post-graduate students were youth and preferred participant, both independent and dependent as well as collaborative learning. The question however is, why has underemployment continued to affect many young Kenyans even with the developing system of education? How can students’ learning preferences be a driver to curbing the menace of unemployment?

The Debate between neoliberalism thought and populist economic thought is concerned by public attention. The interesting thing on this dcebate is the both of them have the different paradigm and have a big influence in public decision making. This paper discuss what are these paradigms, how it was formaed in the history backgrounds, which the juridical foundations to legalize the thinking, and what the fiqh views. This paper use description and analytical method. The result the discuss, that populist economic thought is closer to islamic view than the neoliberalism though in that he populist thought stands on conscience. And the concscience is one of the fiqh substances, especially concerning about economical relation.

This study empirically examined the role of Non Performing Financing (NPF) as the intervening variable on the relationship between independent board and profitability. The population used in this study is all Islamic banking of Indonesia that consist of 13 Islamic banking. The writer took 11 Islamic banking as the sample of this research. The sampling technique used in this research is purposive sampling technique.Types of data used are secondary data. The data of this study collected from Islamic Banking companies that issue an annual report and a report on the implementation of good corporate governance periode of 2011-2015. This study has utilized path analysis to analyze the mediating effect of NPF on the relationship between board size independence and profitability. The result of this study suggest that empirically NPF does not mediate the relationship between independent board and profitability, so empirically NPF can not play the role as the intervening variable.The result of this study also suggest that independent board has positif effect on profitability (ROE), independent board has negative effect on NPF and NPF has not effect on profitability (ROA).

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of  Islamic corporate governance on tax avoidance of sharia banking in Indonesia. The data that used in this study is scendary data derived from annual financial statements and good corporate governance report of sharia banking in Indonesia during 2013-2017 period. The number of sharia banking that became sample in this study were 8 banks so there 55 research samples. The metohod of analysis that use is multiple regression analysis. The results of this study show that the elements of corporate governance that consist of  the board of commissioners, the board of commissioner meeting, the board of sharia, the board of sharia meeting, audit committee, meeting of audit comitte significantly influence the activity of tax avoidance as measured using proxy book tax gap. Other results show that the tax avoidance activity as measured with proxy book tax gap are not affected significantly by the board of commissioner meeting. Limitation of this study is use corporate governance’s proxy separately, so it can’t capture the full effect of corporate governane.

Published: April 2019

Lahan kering iklim kering merupakan lahan potensial untuk berusahatani komoditas kacang tanah, mengingat bahwa Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur yang didominasi lahan kering dan iklim kering merupakan sentra keenam terbesar kacang tanah di Indonesia. Salah satu strategi untuk meningkatkan produksi kacang tanah jangka pendek adalah menanam varietas unggul berdaya hasil tinggi. Uji adaptasi suatu calon varietas selama ini dilakukan di sentra-sentra produksi yang terletak di dataran rendah di P. Jawa pada tipe iklim yang lebih basah. Oleh kerana itu, perlu dilakukan uji adaptasi varietas-varietas unggul di lahan kering iklim kering (LKIK). Penelitian dilaksanakan di LKIK tadah hujan di Desa Pambotan Jara, Kecamatan Waingapu yang terletak pada ketinggian 600 m dpl mulai April hingga Juni 2016. Rancangan strip plot dengan tiga ulangan digunakan pada penelitian ini. Faktor horizontal adalah enam varietas (Lokal Sandel, Kancil, Kelinci, Talam 1, Takar 1, dan takar 2), faktor vertikal adalah tiga dosis pupuk kandang (0, 2500, dan 5000 kg/ha). Pada makalah ini hanya dibahas keragaan pertumbuhan vegetatif dan generatif enam varietas tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertumbuhan vegetatif dan generatif varietas unggul Kancil, Kelinci, Talam 1, Takar 1 dan Takar 2 lebih bagus dari pertumbuhan varietas lokal Sandel di lahan kering tadah hujan pada ketinggian tempat 600 m dpl. Kelima varietas ini ternyata beradaptasi pada lokasi dengan ketinggian tempat 600 m, walaupun uji adaptasinya dilakukan di sentra produksi di dataran rendah. Di antara kelima varietas yang diuji, varietas Kancil, Kelinci, dan Talam 1 mempunyai lebih banyak keunggulan dibanding varietas Takar 1 dan Takar 2. Satu-satunya keunggulan varietas lokal Sandel adalah bobot per polong yang paling tinggi.

Authors: Abadi Farid R. , Ahmadi Noor Roufiq , Nurhasanah Ana
Published: April 2019

Penggunaan pengering bertenaga hybrid memiliki keunggulan dapat memanfaatkan tenaga matahari dan biomasa sehingga dapat digunakan pada kondisi cuaca kurang baik, diantaranya untuk pengeringan sawut ubi kayu terfermentasi.  Tujuan penelitian ini mengevaluasi keragaan Pengering Hybrid Energi Surya dan Biomasa arang kayu (PHESB) untuk mengeringkan sawut ubi kayu terfermentasi. Keragaan PHESB dievaluasi  menggunakan model linier dan exponensial untuk menentukan laju pengeringan (% bb/jam), kapasitas pengeringan (kg/jam), dan kelayakan finansial penerapannya. Mutu hasil pengeringan dianalisis dengan uji homogenitas koefisien regresi (laju pengeringan) dari model pengeringan yang mempunyai tingkat koefisien derterminasi (R2) terbesar dari pengamatan kadar air sawut dalam arah tegak (atas, tengah, bawah) dan mendatar (depan, tengah, belakang). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa  pada  kadar air awal sawut ubi kayu 71,45% bb dan rata-rata suhu pengeringan 40,51 + 3,61 oC, penurunan kadar air sawut ubi kayu mengikuti model linier dengan R2 dari 0,969 sampai 0,984 dengan laju pengeringan homogen baik dalam arah tegak maupun mendatar. Karakteristik PHESB dapat dinyatakan dengan model linier y =-5,081x +78,30 (R2=0,978). Dengan model ini diperoleh kapasitas pengeringan 20,86 kg/jam untuk mencapai kadar air  sawut ubi kayu 14% bb. Dengan harga alat pengering Rp. 40 juta/unit dan ongkos jasa pengeringan sawut ubi kayu basah Rp 600/kg diperoleh nisbah keuntungan dengan biaya pengeringan (B/C)<1,0. Secara teknis PHESB layak digunakan, tetapi secara finansial masih belum layak diterapkan dalam bentuk penjualan jasa pengering sawut ubi kayu.
Leukoencephalopathia, demyelinating peripheral neuropathy and dural ectasia explained by a not formerly described de novo mutation in the SAMD9L gene, ends 27 years of investigations – A case report
Authors: Thunström Sofia , Axelsson Markus
Published: April 2019

Background: Missense mutations in SAMD9L gene is associated with ataxia-pancytopenia syndrome (ATXPC), OMIM#159550. Common clinical features in these patients include neurological and hematological symptoms. The phenotype and age of onset is variable.
Case presentation: In this case report whole exome sequencing (WES) revealed a not previously reported de novo variant c.2686T>G, p.(Phe896Val) in SAMD9L in a patient with widespread findings of slow developing pathology in the peripheral and central nervous system. The clinical picture was dominated by neurological symptoms, unlike previously described cases, and in addition dural ectasias and multiple cysts in the brain was observed using magnetic resonance imaging.
Conclusions: This case underscores the effect of variable expressivity, i.e. different mutations in the same gene can cause different phenotypes.

Published: April 2019

Background The World Health Organization conditionally recommended the Determine lateral flow TB-LAM (LF-LAM) assay for tuberculosis diagnosis. The test is recommended for diagnosis and screening of active tuberculosis among HIV-infected individual’s adults with signs and symptoms of TB (pulmonary and/or extra pulmonary) with CD4 cell count less than or equal to 100 cells/mm3 or HIV-positive patients who are seriously ill, regardless of CD4 cell counts. However, the effect of MTB genetic diversity to the performance of LF-LAM remains unknown. We determined the perfomance of the against M. tuberculosis (MTB) lineages among HIV-positive individuals with pulmonary and/or MTB-bacteremia. Methods In a retrospective study, of 68 patients culture-positive for MTB, we used spoligotyping and/or MIRU-VNTR methods to determine the MTB-lineages. Patients 51 had both pulmonary and MTB-bacteremia and 17 patients had exclusively PTB. We compared the performance of LF-LAM against MTB-lineage in blood and sputum samples. LF-LAM performance was also analyzed in presence of mixed MTB-infection and patient CD4 cell count. Results The median age (interquartile range; IQR) of participants was 32 (30-35) and only sixty-six patients had CD4 results. The median (IQR) CD4 cell count/mm3 was 27(18-34). MTB-lineages in sputum were; CAS (L3) 17/68 (25%) and Euro-American-lineage (L4) 55/68 (75%) whereas in blood were L3 7/51 (13.7%) and L4 44/51 (86.3%). Among patients with TB-bacteraemia, LF-LAM was positive 100% for L3 and 32/44 (73%) for L4. LF-LAM was 100% positive among exclusively PTB patients with L3 and L4. The results did’not change by presence of mixed MTB-infection. Categroizing patients as CD4 <50 and ≥50 cell/mm3. All 100% of L3 strains remained with a positive LF-LAM test in both categories whereas 11 (68.7%) and 30 (82%) of the patients with CD >50 and ≤50 cells/mm3 respectively, with L4 had a positive LF-LAM test. Conclusions Our study show that L3 may have more specificity for LF-LAM assay than L4. Regional diversity in performance of LF-LAM assay may occur depending on the dorminat MTB lineage. Future studies on a large sample size with more MTB-lineage diversity are recommended.
CrisPam: SNP-derived PAM analysis web tool and human pathogenic SNPs database for CRISPR allele-specific targeting
Authors: Rabinowitz Roy , Darnell Roy , Offen Daniel
Published: April 2019

Background
CRISPR is a promising novel technology for treating genetic conditions. Therefore, it is essential to further develop and promote treatment’s safety and specificity. While the guide-RNA offers position-specific DNA targeting, it may tolerate small changes such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). To that end, an allele-specific targeting approach is in need for future treatments of heterozygous patients, suffering from genetic conditions caused by a SNP. The SNP-derived PAM approach allows highly allele-specific DNA cleavage by incorporating a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequence only at the target allele.
Description
Here we present CrisPam, a tool that detects SNP-derived PAMs for allele-specific targeting by the CRISPR/Cas system. The algorithm scans the generation of each reported PAM for a given DNA sequence and its variations. A successful result is such that at least one PAM is generated by a SNP. Thus, the PAM shall be part of the variant allele only and the Cas protein will therefore be able to exclusively bind the variant allele for gene-editing, while the wildtype allele remains unchanged.
Conclusion
CrisPam is available online for researchers and also offers access to the CrisPamDB, a database that contains the CrisPam analysis for any reported pathogenic SNP in humans.
