Improving the Expression of Human Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor in Escherichia coli by Reducing the GC-content and Increasing mRNA Folding Free Energy at 5’-Terminal End
Authors: Dewi Kartika Sari , Fuad Asrul Muhamad
Published: August 2020

Purpose
: Strategy for improving the production of biopharmaceutical protein continues to develop due to increasing market demand. Human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (hGCSF) is one of biopharmaceutical proteins that has many applications, and easily produced in Escherichia coli expression system. Previous studies reported that codon usage, rare codon, mRNA folding and GC-content at 5’-terminal end were crucial for protein production in E. coli. In the present study, the effect of reducing the GC-content and increasing the mRNA folding free energy at the 5’-terminal end on the expression level of hG-CSF proteins was investigated. Methods: Synonymous codon substitutions were performed to generate mutant variants of open reading frame (ORF) with lower GC-content at 5’-terminal ends. Oligoanalyzer tool was used to calculate the GC content of eight codons sequence after ATG. Whereas, mRNA folding free energy was predicted using KineFold and RNAfold tools. The template DNA was amplified using three variant forward primers and one same reverse primer. Those DNA fragments were individually cloned into pJexpress414 expression vector and were confirmed using restriction and DNA sequencing analyses. The confirmed constructs were transformed into E. coli NiCo21(DE3) host cells and the recombinant protein was expressed using IPTG-induction. Total protein obtained were characterized using SDS-PAGE, Western blot and ImageJ software analyses. Results: The result showed that the mutant variant with lower GC-content and higher mRNA folding free energy near the translation initiation region (TIR) could produce a higher amount of hG-CSF proteins compared to the original gene sequence. Conclusion: This study emphasized the important role of the nucleotide composition immediately downstream the start codon to achieve high-yield protein product on heterologous expression in E. coli.

Published: August 2020

Purpose
: Acellular scaffold extracted from extracellular matrix (ECM) have been used for constructive and regenerative medicine. Adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) can enhance the vascularization capacity of scaffolds. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and stromal derived factor1 (SDF1) are considered as two important factors in vascularization and immunologic system. In this study, the effect of mineral pitch on the proliferation of human ADSCs was evaluated. In addition to HMGB1 and SDF1, factors expression in acellular scaffold was also assessed. Methods: To determine acellular scaffold morphology and the degree of decellularization, hematoxylin & eosin (H&E), 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), and Masson’s trichrome staining were applied. The scaffolds were treated with mineral pitch. Also, ADSCs were seeded on the scaffolds, and adhesion of the cells to the scaffolds were assessed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). In addition, the efficiency of mineral pitch to induce the proliferation of ADSCs on the scaffolds was evaluated using 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. To measure HMGB1 and SDF1 mRNA expression, real-time polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) was used. Results: FE-SEM showed that decellularized matrix possesses similar matrix morphology with a randomly oriented fibrillar structure and interconnecting pores. No toxicity was observed in all treatments, and cell proliferation were supported in scaffolds. The important point is that, the proliferation capacity of ADSCs on Mineral pitch loaded scaffolds significantly increased after 48 h incubation time compared to the unloaded scaffold (P<0.001). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that mineral pitch has potentials to accelerate proliferation of ADSCs on the acellular scaffolds.

Purpose
: This study was intended to find out the impact of alpha mangostin administration on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and TGF-β/Smad pathways in hepatocellular carcinoma Hep-G2 cells surviving sorafenib. Methods: Hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells were treated with sorafenib 10 μM. Cells surviving sorafenib treatment (HepG2surv) were then treated vehicle, sorafenib, alpha mangostin, or combination of sorafenib and alpha mangostin. Afterward, cells were observed for their morphology with an inverted microscope and counted for cell viability. The concentrations of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 in a culture medium were examined using ELISA. The mRNA expressions of TGF-β1, TGF-β1-receptor, Smad3, Smad7, E-cadherin, and vimentin were evaluated using quantitative reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction. The protein level of E-cadherin was also determined using western blot analysis. Results: Treatment of alpha mangostin and sorafenib caused a significant decrease in the viability of sorafenib-surviving HepG2 cells versus control (both groups with P<0.05). Our study found that alpha mangostin treatment increased the expressions of vimentin (P<0.001 versus control). In contrast, alpha mangostin treatment tends to decrease the expressions of Smad7 and E-cadherin (both with P>0.05). In line with our findings, the expressions of TGF-β1 and Smad3 are significantly upregulated after alpha mangostin administration (both with P<0.05) versus control. Conclusion: Alpha mangostin reduced cell viability of sorafenib-surviving HepG2 cells; however, it also enhanced epithelial–mesenchymal transition markers by activating TGF-β/Smad pathways.
Fundamental Group of Rough Topological Spaces
Authors: Abdullateef Laaro
Published: August 2020

In this paper we study and define the concept of the fundamental group of rough topological spaces (RTSs), which deeply depends on the concepts of rough sets (RSs) and rough topology (RT). Working towards this stated objective, we define the concept of rough path (RPt) which gives room for the introduction of rough loop (RL). We also define the concepts of rough homotopy (RH) and later shows that it is indeed an equivalence relation. We introduce the fundamental group of rough topological spaces by showing that all the group axioms satisfied. Also, this paper establish the fact that most of the results in fundamental group of ordinary topological spaces are also hold for the fundamental group of rough topological spaces.

Published: August 2020

The purpose of this research is to find out how much influence the mobile logistics support by KRI BCM Type which includes fuel, fresh water and food support so that the presence in the sea of operational elements can be increased so that the operations carried out can be carried out more effectively and efficiently. The extent of the operation area is not balanced with the implementing elements and the existence of government policies related to B20 diesel fuel results in limited amounts of fuel in this area because the KRI elements who carry out the operation still use B0 (diesel) fuel. The distribution of logistical support from the front base to operational elements is still constrained by time, because most fuel logistical support is obtained through Pertamina tankers. Therefore, it is important for BCM elements to be held in selective operational areas so that the operational sustainability of the elements can be carried out more effectively and efficiently. The BCM element has the ability to provide logistical support, both in the form of liquid logistics support and personnel logistics support. This study uses a quantitative method carried out at the Fleet Command II with the object of research being KRI BCM Type and the subjects are crews of KRI BCM Type, Commanding Officers and Work Unit related to the implementation of KRI logistical support. Data obtained through the distribution of questionnaires were then analyzed using the Statistical Product dan Service Solutions (SPSS) version 25 program.

Published: August 2020

The purpose of this survey study was to characterize the nature of remote instruction provided by elementary teachers across the U.S. during school closures related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey included questions on demographics, questions that broadly focused on remote instruction (e.g., live meetings with students), questions focused on academic instruction (in reading, writing, and mathematics), and questions focused on the nature of remote instruction for students with disabilities and English language learners. The survey was distributed to a random sample of teachers across the U.S. Results indicated that although most teachers provided remote instruction, few teachers believed remote instruction was effective at promoting student learning. Moreover, teachers reported that only 60% of students were ready to advance to the next grade level when schools closed. Based on our results, we estimate that between 7.2 and 11.6 million students did not receive any live remote instruction during the shutdown.

Modelo matemático 1D da dinâmica de um glioma com coeficiente de difusão descontínuo e capacidade de carga variável
Authors: Silva Gabriel Carlos Pena da , Avila Jorge Andrés Julca
Published: August 2020

Neste trabalho, resolveremos numericamente a equação que modela o problema da dinâmica do crescimento de um glioma, com capacidade de carga que varia espacialmente. Devido à natureza difusiva do glioma, o problema é modelado pela Equação de Difusão-Reação (ED-R). Estudaremos o caso unidimensional (1D). A ED-R apresenta um perfil Gaussiano como condição inicial e condição de contorno do tipo Neumman. O microambiente tumoral é uma porção do cérebro, constituída, principalmente, por células do glioma. Ele apresenta três regiões: duas regiões de substâncias cinzentas, localizadas na parte extrema do microambiente, e uma região de substância branca, localizada no meio do microambiente. Dois fatos importantes caracterizam a modelagem desse problema. Primeiro, o coeficiente de difusão é uma função descontínua, e segundo, a capacidade de carga, no modelo de crescimento logístico, é uma função de tipo Hill que depende da variável espacial. O problema é resolvido numericamente pelo método de Crank-Nicolson, e os resultados numéricos apontam diminuição do crescimento tumoral ao considerar-se a capacidade de carga variável.

Published: August 2020

El campo de Educación Inclusiva es un terreno fundamentalmente disputado por una multiplicidad de disciplinas, teorías, objetos, métodos, territorios, sujetos, influencias, modos de análisis, conceptos, saberes, compromisos éticos y proyectos políticos. Construye un espacio no-disciplinar. Viaja permanente y nolinealmente, por cada uno de ellos, en cada nuevo aterrizaje extrae lo más relevante y significativo de cada recurso epistemológico, con el propósito de fabricar un nuevo objeto y saber.

Forja un espacio de disposición de disciplinas y una disposición histórica específica de verdad (forma de saber). Se convierte en una categoría analítica de intermediación. La Educación Inclusiva como práctica crítica, altera la visión investigativa y formativa completa, replantea la naturaleza de la experiencia de aprendizaje, sus medios de organización trascienden el viejo debate entre investigación y docencia. Eltrabajo se organiza en torno al análisis de su estructura de conocimiento en términos de una teoría sin disciplina, devenida como una caja de herramientas, se propone repararlos, ponerlos en orden, comprender qué nuevas ideas pueden ser añadidas, y luego, cuáles de ellas favorecen una lectura situada sobre su coyuntura intelectual. Concebido así, deviene en un mapa crítico plurilocalizado, integrado por intensasinfluencias. Su construcción teórica es concebida como un sistema de permanentes importaciones y exportaciones de diversas clases de recursos epistémico-metodológicos. Posteriormente, se analiza el papel del acontecimiento. El trabajo concluye reflexionando acerca de las posibilidades performativas de la Educación Inclusiva, concebida como sistema de alteración  de lo existente y creación de otros mundos.La inclusión es un concepto eminentemente relacional y estructural, como tal, se convierte en una estrategia de investigación y una práctica crítica para articular una comprensión más compleja del mundo y de sus patologías sociopolíticas crónicas, entre ellas, la opresión, la injusticia social y la desigualdad en su pluralidadde ámbitos. La inclusión como categoría de análisis se convierte en una estrategia para desarrollar formas interpretativas más profundas acerca de la multiplicidad de rostros del poder, reconociendo que cada uno de ellos, son endémicos y articuladores de la experiencia social.

Perfil docente, bienestar y competencias emocionales para la mejora, calidad e innovación de la escuela
Authors: Ávila Muñoz Ana María
Published: August 2020

Esta investigación muestra la relación existente entre competencia emocional, bienestar personal y estilo educativo, entendiendo estos aspectos como  esenciales a la hora de promover procesos de mejora en la escuela, y señalando la importancia de la formación docente en educación emocional. Ya que un profesor emocionalmente competente presentará un mayor bienestar personal y optará por un estilo educativo asertivo.

Gestionar las emociones y el bienestar personal se convierte en un elemento básico para favorecer el desarrollo integral del alumno, un elemento clave para trabajar con los futuros docentes en su formación inicial (Bisquerra, 2007; López-Goñi y Goñi, 2012) aunque en la práctica ocupa un segundo plano dentro del conjunto de las competencias docentes. 

En esta investigación participaron 230 profesores, completaron cuestionarios sobre competencia emocional, bienestar y estilos educativos. Los resultados muestran, mayoritariamente, que aquellos docentes que tienen alta puntuación en competencia emocional, la adquieren también en bienestar personal y además son aquellos con estilo asertivo.

Todo ello confirma que aquellos docentes con mayor competencia emocional disfrutan igualmente de un mayor bienestar personal, y esto correlaciona con  su perfil docente y estilo educativo, y por lo tanto   en el proceso de enseñanza/aprendizaje y los agentes implicados.

Formación radical: no sólo rompiendo moldes
Authors: Herrán Gascón Agustín de la
Published: August 2020

El objetivo de este escrito es sintetizar el significado y algunas contribuciones del paradigma pedagógico radical e inclusivo. Desde este enfoque, la educación y la vida humana quedan múltiplemente redefinidas. Lametodología es ensayística, crítica, dialéctica, destructiva y alternativa. Como algunos de sus resultados, se distinguen fundamentos, críticas, insuficiencias, errores y alternativas de nuestra educación, que normalmente no se aperciben con la mirada convencional. Esas divergencias y contribuciones lo son de teoría de la formación o de la educación, es decir, de conciencia o visión sobre la práctica. El enfoque radical e inclusivo no es una Pedagogía alternativa, sino una alternativa para la Pedagogía, basada en un cambio radical del observador y lo observado, orientado a una mayor complejidad y conciencia personal y social. No sólo rompe moldes: ofrece aperturas descriptivas e interpretativas desde un sistema comprensivo más cabal o amplio que el actual, en la medida en que lo incluye.

Published: August 2020

Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara yang perekonomiannya dipengaruhi oleh perusahaan keluarga. Sebuah studi menyebutkan bahwa 25% Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB) Indonesia dipengaruhi oleh perusahaan keluarga. Tingginya pengaruh serta peranan perusahaan keluarga di Indonesia membuat keberlangsungan dan pertumbuhan perusahaan keluarga menjadi sangat penting untuk diperhatikan dengan seksama. Namun perusahaan keluarga memiliki masalah khas yaitu suksesi perusahaan. Seringkali perusahaan keluarga hanya mampu bertahan sampai di generasi kedua atau ketiga, kemudian tidak dapat berkembang lebih jauh atau bahkan ditutup. Maka dari itu dibutuhkan suatu proses suksesi agar perusahaan keluarga tidak menemui akhir yang buruk. Dalam proses suksesi inilah, komunikasi memiliki peran yang krusial. Salah satu perusahaan keluarga yang telah berhasil melakukan suksesi dengan memaksimalkan komunikasi adalah PT Catur Putra Harmonis. Perusahaan keluarga yang berbasis di Makassar ini tidak hanya berhasil mempertahankan bisnisnya lintas generasi, namun juga mampu mengembangkan bisnis tersebut menjadi lebih luas. Komunikasi memiliki peranan dalam berbagai tahapan suksesi antara lain pembekalan pengetahuan akan perusahaan, pelatihan, uji coba kerja, pertemuan dengan stakeholder, dan pertanggungjawaban kinerja. Komunikasi lintas generasi menjadi kunci utama agar proses suksesi dapat berjalan dengan baik dan lancar.

Señor editor,Hemos leído con atención el artículo “ Habilidad de los médicos residentes para dar malas noticias”. Si bien, el médico se encarga de preservar la salud del paciente, en ocasiones tiene que enfrentarse a escenarios difíciles donde afronta el acto de dar malas noticias, con la intervención de un factor muy importante: “el temor”, ya sea por el dolor a causar en el paciente y los familiares, el fracaso terapéutico (especialmente en médicos jóvenes), una demanda o, simplemente, las reacciones de cada uno de ellos a la expresión de sus propias emociones.
PHYTOCHEMICAL AND ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES OF LEAF EXTRACTS OF Calliandra calothyrsus, Leucaena diversifolia AND Sesbania sesban
Authors: Omuketi William
Published: August 2020

Phytochemical compounds are secondary metabolites of plants useful as antimicrobial agents. Botanicals are being explored for bioactive compounds with antimicrobial properties against phytopathogens. Little information is available on the phytochemical and antimicrobial activity of Calliandra calothyrsus, Leucaena diversifolia and Sesbania sesban against Cercospora zeae-maydis and Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum. The aim of the study was to determine the phytochemical and antimicrobial properties of leaf extracts of C. calothyrsus, L. diversifolia and S. sesban against C. zeae-maydis and Xc. pv. musacearum. Dried leaves were extracted in methanol and aqueous solvents and screened for phytochemical and antimicrobial activity using Kirby-Bauer’s disk diffusion and poisoned food technique methods. Sesbania sesban extracts contained all the phytochemical tested; tannins, terpenoids, steroids, saponins, flavonoids, and alkaloids, Leucaena diversifolia lacked alkaloids while Calliandra calothyrsus lacked steroids and alkaloids. The extracts were active against Cercospora zeae-maydis and Xc.pv. musacearum with Sesbania sesban having greater radial inhibition activity. There was no significant difference in the antimicrobial activity between the lowest concentrations (25% and 25mg/ml) and highest concentrations (75% and 75mg/ml) in all the three plant extracts. Growth inhibition observed could be as a result of the different chemical compound observed in the extracts. Presence of alkaloids in Sesbania sesban could explain the greater growth inhibition of the pathogens under study. The results form the basis for further research that could lead to isolation and development of antimicrobial agents. Therefore, these plants can be used as an alternative to synthetic chemicals to control Cercospora zeae-maydis and Xanthomonas campestris pv. Musacearum.

Yoghurt is usually produced from cow milk which is unsuitable for vegetarian diet. Chemical preservative used for its preservation may have adverse effect on the lactic acid bacteria. This research was designed to evaluate the effect of ginger extract on the viability of lactic acid bacteria, physico-chemical property and sensory attributes of bio preserved functional yoghurt produced from dairy milk and soy milk during storage at refrigerated temperature. The result obtained showed that yoghurt produced from soy milk (5.67 – 7.52 CFU/ml) had higher lactic acid bacteria count than yoghurt from dairy milk (4.71 – 7.31 CFU/ml) throughout the period of storage. Ginger extract was more active against fungi in dairy yoghurt than (0 - 5.09 CFU/ml) soy yoghurt (0 – 5.29 CFU/ml). The pH was generally lower in dairy yoghurt (4.29 - 4.67) than soy yoghurt (4.69 – 5.14) while the titratable acidity was higher in dairy yoghurt (1.30 – 2-01%) than soy yoghurt (0.7 – 1.54%). Addition of ginger extract improved the texture and flavour of soy yoghurt. It is therefore suggested that functional yoghurt with good sensory attributes can be produced from soy milk and dairy milk using ginger extract as bio-preservative.

This study reported production of lipase by immobilized Bacillus thuringiensis. Bacteria isolates were screened on Bushnell-Hass Mineral Salt medium containing 1% v/v Diesel for oil degradation. The potent isolates were identified using 16S rRNA as Bacillus thuringiensis. The isolates were immobilized in gelatin matrix and cultured for lipase production in a submerged medium. The crude lipase extracted was used for degradation of Diesel. Optimum degradation of Diesel 41.4% was obtained by lipase from Immobilized Bacillus thuringiensis and 31.6% for Lysinibacillus sphaericus at pH 7 and 35 in 20 days. GC-MS analysis was carried out to show the compounds degraded after 20 days. This study therefore presented the use of immobilized bacterial lipase in degradation of Diesel as a simple and effective approach.

Published: August 2020

Suya originated in the northern parts of Nigeria is ready to eat grilled skewered meat products prepared in different forms spiced with locally sourced, commonly produced by the Hausas in Northern Nigeria. It has permeated Nigerian society, being affordable for all and available everywhere. It is produced from boneless meat hung on stick and spiced with peanut cake, salt, vegetable oil and other flavourings followed by roasting around a glowing charcoal fire. It’s generally made with skewered beef, ram, or chicken. Innards such as kidney, liver, and tripe are also used. Suya are of three main forms namely Tsire, Kilishi, and Balangu, and Tsire is the most commonly preferred. In Benin City, which is located in the southern part of Nigeria, Suya has become a very common street food delicacy scattered most major areas and are sold mostly in the evening time, only very few vendors will sell Suya in the day time. Concerns have been raised in many research regarding the public health risk of consuming suya, part of which is food poisoning, as a result microbial contamination such as Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, aflatoxigenic molds,  Staphylococcus epidermidis, Proteus vulgaris, Klebseilla pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Candida spp., Salmonella enteritica and Enterobacter spp. Trace metals such as zinc, lead, manganese, iron, and copper have been observed in suya in concentrations exceeding recommended tolerable upper intake levels which can consequently cause serious long term health issues. This study reviews the potential public health risk of consuming street grilled meat (Suya) in Benin City.

Published: August 2020

The present study aims at examining the Job Satisfaction of female executives in Visakha steel plant which is a public sector organization. To be specific the following are the objectives of the present study.The attitude towards working women seems to be that while people have no objection to availing of their talents and abilities outside the home; women are not allowed to compromise on home life. And if they do, they should be made to feel the error of their ways. In the first place, the term 'working mother' is a misnomer as mothers are working round the clock even if they don't go to an office. Job satisfaction is in regard to one's feelings or state-of-mind regarding the nature of their work. Job satisfaction can be influenced by a variety of factors, eg, the quality of one's relationship with their supervisor, the quality of the physical environment in which they work, degree of fulfillment in their work, etc. Job satisfaction describes how content an individual is with his /her job. This Research paper intends to study on Job satisfaction and Work Life Balance of women employees in selected organisations of Bangalore City. The study confines with only Bangalore City the findings and outcomes may not applicable for other parts of the country.

Medical schools provide the foundation for a physician’s growth and lifelong learning. They also require a large share of government resources. As such, they should seek opportunities to maintain trust from the public, their students, faculty, universities, regulatory colleges, and each other. The accreditation of medical schools attempts to assure stakeholders that the educational process conforms to appropriate standards and thus can be trusted. However, accreditation processes are poorly understood and the basis for accrediting authorities’ decisions are often opaque. 

We propose that increasing transparency in accreditation could enhance trust in the institutions that produce society’s physicians. While public reporting of accreditation results has been established in other jurisdictions, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, North American accrediting bodies have not yet embraced this more transparent approach. Public reporting can enhance public trust and engagement, hold medical schools accountable for continuous quality improvement, and can catalyze a culture of collaboration within the broader medical education ecosystem. Inviting patients and the public to peer into one of the most formative and fundamental parts of their physicians’ professional training is a powerful tool for stakeholder and public engagement that the North American medical education community at large has yet to use.
