The Effect of Road Network on the Analysis Result of the Level of Degraded Land (The Case at Tanjung Aur Watershed, Bengkulu Province)
Authors: Sulistyo Bambang
Published: June 2018

This study aims to investigate the effect of the road network on the results of the analysis of the level of degraded land at Tanjung Aur watershed, Bengkulu Province.The research method involves digital analysis of all the data affecting erosion and degraded land. The level of degraded land is defined as (Erosion + Slope + Percentage of Canopy Cover + Management), whereas the erosion itself is determined by the Universal Soil Loss Equation model and formulated as A = R x K x LS x C x P. All parameters are collected and then performed the analysis to produce as a map of the level of degraded land. Prior to the calculation of erosion and the level of degraded land, it is first made a map of land units which is the result of overlay analysis among land erodibility, slope and land use maps.In the first phase analysis, the calculation of erosion and the level of degraded land is done prior to the inclusion of road network, while in the second phase, calculation are done after the inclusion of road network. The results of the two analyzes are then compared to determine the effect of the inclusion of road network on the results of the analysis of the level of degraded land, either on the effect on the category changes in the level of degraded land and its coverage.The results showed that there were 690.42 hectares (4.7%) of the study area (14,684.86 hectares) whose the level of degraded land was changed as a result of the inclusion of road network, from the level of "Potentially Degraded" to the "Slightly Degraded".
Enigma of Fixed Retainers
Authors: Eapen Jijo C , Prakash Amit
Published: June 2018

Fixed retainers are a reliable form of retention for avoiding relapse and maintaining dental arch shape. They function regardless of patient cooperation, and they fulfill high esthetic expectations. Teeth have tendency to return to their former position, as time required for retaining the treatment result. The most appropriate mode of retention for the post-treatment situation should be used, based on a careful evaluation of the patient’s pretreatment diagnostic records, habits, cooperation, growth pattern, and age. Retention after orthodontic intervention is as important part of the therapy as the active treatment. Age and maturity of the patients, result of the orthodontic intervention, origin and character of the anomaly, type of the retainer, compliance of the patients; all can influence the chance of relapse. The retention period should be twice longer than the active orthodontic treatment. This article covers various aspect of fixed retention in detail
НЕКОТОРЫЕ ПОДХОДЫ К ИЗУЧЕНИЮ И УРЕГУЛИРОВАНИЮ КОНФЛИКТОВ
Authors: Sorokina N. D.
Published: June 2018

The article is devoted to the analysis of some, including new, approaches to the study and settlement of conflicts. There are considered the following approaches: the pragmatic turn; the concept of agonistic pluralism; system analysis. The representatives of the pragmatic turn put forward the concept of «cities» as a means of settling conflicts and a mechanism for reaching compliance. The author believes, that it is not possible to resolve this kind of conflicts in the paradigm of a pragmatic turn, at least in the short term. The concept of agonistic pluralism offers its own way of resolving and settling conflicts. For this, antagonism with its insoluble contradictions is necessary to turn agonism. This transformation will mean treating the enemy not as an enemy, but as an opponent. Thus, it is possible to achieve a conflictual consensus. However, in reality, such a transformation is difficult to achieve because social contradictions are exacerbated. The systemic approach allows us to study conflicts from the perspective of improving or worsening the existing social order. The settlement of conflicts is possible in the Russian society. But it is necessary to achieve the consent of different political forces. The fundamental principles of the existence of the Russian state and society are the basis of this consent. The author calls the information war as external obstacles to achieving consensus, to which Russia is drawn; as internal — a strong social stratification, the social policy of the state, the lack of dialogue between different political forces.
СТРУКТУРА РЕВОЛЮЦИЙ. ЧАСТЬ 1. КОНФЛИКТОЛОГИЧЕСКАЯ И СОЦИАЛЬНО-ПОЛИТИЧЕСКАЯ СТРУКТУРА РЕВОЛЮЦИЙ
Authors: Isaev B. A.
Published: June 2018

the article analyzes one of the most important features of the revolution — its structure. The author highlights several structures, but the main attention is focusing on the analysis of сonflictologycal, socio-political and stage-event structure of the revolution. In the first part of the article examines the сonflictologycal and socio-political structures of the revolution. Conflictologycal structure characterizes the revolution as a massive socio-political conflict. It may be static and dynamic nature. Static сonflictologycal structure of the revolution consists of five components: 1. several warring sides the revolutionary conflict; 2. instigators and accomplices of the revolution of radical parties and groups, as well as instigators from abroad; 3. intermediaries from the side, usually from other States or international organizations; 4. conflict situation or the causes and motives of the revolution; 5. the background of the conflict, that is, the state of society before and during the revolution. Dynamic conflictologycal structure of the revolution includes: 1. latent stage of the conflict or the revolutionary situation exists in a latent form; 2. open stage, where political upheaval has not yet occurred, but it already speak and write openly, that creates social tension and violence, which have yet to develop into mass violence; 3. political upheaval; 4. moderate reform of the revolutionary Government; 5. the coming to power of the radical revolutionaries and a revolutionary escalation of conflict; 6. settlement of the revolutionary conflict that occurs when the come to power moderate and pragmatic forces. The social structure of the revolution shows on which layers and classes towards revolution differentially society. The political structure shared political forces on revolutionary and counterrevolutionary camps consisting of parties, movements their military organizations, units of the army and police. Social and political components form a single socio-political structure of the revolution. Its structural features are the so-called «new» and «color» revolution.
Preferences for the Distribution of Incomes in Modern Societies: The Enduring Influence of Social Class and Economic Context
Authors: Andersen Robert , Yaish Meir
Published: June 2018

Using International Social Survey Program data, we explore the relationship between economic context and attitudes with respect to the distribution of incomes in 20 modern societies, including Canada. Our findings demonstrate that economic inequality has an enduring influence on attitudes. Consistent with the economic self-interest thesis, preferences for equality are strongest among those in working-class occupations. Moreover, independent of one's own social class, one's father's social class has a similar enduring impact on attitudes later in life. These relationships are relatively similar across the 20 societies we explore. Still, significant differences in attitudes can be explained by national economic context. We find a strong positive relationship between national-level inequality and opinions on how much inequality there ought to be in the income distribution. In contrast to previous research, however, our findings suggest that national-level economic prosperity and equality of opportunity have little influence on public opinion.

Published: June 2018

Soy sauce is worldwide popular condiment of Asian origin. With the advent of GM soybean production, soy sauce drew the interest of food safety control. Samples collected for inspection are generally of industrial grade soy sauce type, which is produced from hydrolyzed soybean and grain. Following the failure to perform RealTime PCR based GMO screening on a number of submitted samples we tested our screening system on soy sauce produced following traditional method based on fermentation. Four batches of soy sauce were produced and DNA extracted. DNA concentration ranged from 32,68 to 65,36 ng/μl. Amplification of taxon specific target was successful with rather high Ct ( > 30). Promoter P-35S sequence was not detected, but T-NOS was detected in three samples with values reaching or exceeding LOD of the method. The results show that it is possible to detect transgenic elements in traditionally produced soy sauce while DNA extraction from industrial grade soy sauce is not possible.

Published: June 2018

This study compares the results obtained using two multiplex systems, PowerPlex® 16 System and PowerPlex® Fusion System, to evaluate the probability of a specific kinship relationship between the offspring of three pairs of identical twins, such as full kinship (siblings), first-degree relatives (first cousins) and half-siblings. Genomic DNA was isolated and amplified from buccal swab and selected short tandem repeat (STR) markers were detected. Electropherograms were generated and analyzed for all persons, using two multiplex systems. Paternity testing for every nine offspring of six examined couples was performed and in all cases the probability that the alleged father is the true father, was over 99.9999%. Kinship analyses were performed setting up two different hypotheses and calculating the likelihood ratio (LR) and kinship probability. Determining the degree of kinship between persons who were full siblings, likelihood ratio showed the highest values contrary to other two types of kinship. Kinship analyses between first cousins showed a higher probability that the examined persons are half-siblings, rather than they are first cousins. In most cases, the introduction of additional seven loci included in PowerPlex® Fusion System increased the values of average likelihood ratios. It is recommendable to use over 20 STR loci in complex kinship analyses.

Published: June 2018

Atmospheric pollution is among the largest anthropogenic impacts on the ecosystem. In numerous studies it was observed that plants, especially those that grow in urban areas, are heavily influenced by different pollutants and their survival is correlated with structural and metabolic adaptation to stressful environmental conditions. Primary objective of this study was to determine the index of tolerance to air pollution (APTI) of plantain (Plantago major), on two locations in Zenica. The results indicated that index of tolerance to air pollution of P. major, APTI, is higher in individuals sampled from the contaminated site, than those in the control area.

Triploidy is chromosomal abnormality characterized by the presence of three sets of chromosomes instead of the normal two sets, so the triploid fetus has 69 chromosomes. Within the Department for medical genetics at University Clinical Center of Republic of Srpska, from 2009 to 2016, 5853 prenatal karyotipizations were performed from amniotic fluid. Two cases (0,03%) of tryploid karyotipe were detected during this period. In this report we will present the findings of triploid karyotype 69, XXX in prenatal diagnosis. Origin of those triploid karyotipes was determined using molecular methods at Institute of Forensic Medicine of Republic of Srpska, Banja Luka. One of the detected triploid fetuses originated from twin pregnancy, where the pregnancy was spontaneously aborted two weeks after amniocentesis. Using molecular methods, it was determined that one set of chromosomes originated from the mother, and two sets from the father- diandric origin. The other triploid fetus originated from one fetus pregnancy, where the pregnancy was spontaneously aborted two weeks after amniocentesis. The first trimester combined test indicated triploid kariotype with digyny origin. Triploid karyotype was confirmed by prenatal karyotipisation, while molecular analysis confirmed digyny origin of this case of triploidy – two sets of chromosomes originated from mother and one set from father. Since cytogenetic analyses are performed from amniotic cells at 16-18 weeks, in order to reduce waiting period, parents should be informed about karyotypisation and DNA profiling from chorionic villi sample at 11-12 weeks as a faster option to get final results .
NETWORK ANALYSIS ON THE IN SILICO ASSIGNED Y CHROMOSOME HAPLOGROUPS IN WESTERN BALKAN POPULATIONS
Authors: Šehović Emir , Ašić Adna , Dogan Mustafa , Tunc Ramazan , Marjanović Damir , Dogan Serkan
Published: June 2018

The region of Western Balkans has been inhabited since the Paleolithic era and was the route of the spread of farming from the Middle East to Europe during the Neolithic era. In the present study, Y-STR data from European populations have been used to construct median-joining networks. The study was performed using Whit Athey’s Haplogroup Predictor, Y Utility and Network 4 software packages to predict Y haplogroups, construct networks, perform clustering of closely related Y chromosomes and calculate time estimates between individual nodes. The results of the study imply that geographically close populations cluster together at both Balkan and European levels. It was observed that an elevated number of study populations and individual haplogroups increases the possibility that individuals of different ethnic background cluster within the same or neighboring clades of network. Subsequent time estimates, performed based on the mutation frequency between the ancestral node and its descendant nodes, revealed that I2a haplogroup within the Western Balkan region has the most compact clustering (age, estimated at 3109 years), followed by Hg E1b1b which has the second most compact clustering (4896 years). The obtained results are nonetheless in accordance with previously published research investigating the frequency of Y haplogroups based on Y-SNP variant frequencies, indicating that Western Balkan countries are mainly represented by I2a subclade (average for six countries 32.3%), followed by E1b1b and R1a (average for six countries of 21.5% and 17%, respectively).

Published: June 2018

The expert reports state that Bosnia and Herzegovina, despite the presence of diverse and valuable natural resources, lacks systematic, coordinated and harmonized pipeline for biomonitoring. Successful solutions to serious problems regarding environmental protection, management and research rely on the efficient use of exhaustive and unfailing information on the nature around us. However, more often than not, transitional and developing countries lack any centralized, nationally funded databases that could be used as dependable source of information in decision making process. University of Sarajevo-Institute for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (INGEB) developed the Regional Biodiversity Database – REBIDA with the aim to collate all known biological data on wild and domesticated natural resources of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This internet-based database represents a comprehensive, searchable and open access platform for science community, academia, governmental and non-governmental stakeholders and general public. Besides its scientific value, REBIDA will serve as an educational tool for discovering the diversity and importance of natural resources, with special emphasis on indigenous and endemic flora, fungia and fauna from the Balkans. It is the only such database in the country, consisting of three functionally connected segments: tissue database, DNA database and digital genetic database on plant, animal and human samples. To complement REBIDA, a mobile application called REBIDA SCANNER was also developed. It will be free to download for IOS and Android platforms and will enable professionals, nature enthusiasts and any other interested parties to contribute to REBIDA through data collection, field sampling and documentation of B&H wild life.
Ciências Sociais e Investigação Criminal: metodologia da investigação criminal na lógica das ciências sociais
Authors: Pereira Eliomar da Silva
Published: June 2018

A investigação criminal se desenvolve lógica e pragmaticamente à forma de uma investigação científica. Além da possibilidade de aplicação de conhecimento científico, oriundo das ciências empíricas na investigação dos crimes, ela mesma se pode desenvolver segundo o método científico, seja em cada investigação criminal particular, mediante a aplicação de técnicas de pesquisa que são próprias à ciência (sobretudo técnicas qualitativas), seja pela generalização de certas conclusões encontradas no conjunto de investigações de casos comuns, para aplicação posterior em outras investigações particulares (tendente a uma abordagem quantitativa). É certo que, ao investigar-se o crime como fato do passado, a investigação se aproxima mais da pesquisa historiográfica , mas, ao passo que a sociedade se tem tornado mais complexa e dinâmica, a investigação se tem tornado igualmente mais uma pesquisa de fatos presentes, ainda em curso (como são os casos de criminalidade organizada, p. ex.), devendo desenvolver-se para além de cada investigação presente, com vistas a desenvolver conhecimento operativo para investigações futuras. Nesse contexto é que o modelo das ciências sociais em geral, e a sociologia em específico, parece ser o caminho mais propício a uma metodologia da investigação criminal. É nesse sentido que se vai expor o problema metodológico das ciências sociais, suas limitações teóricas e suas técnicas de pesquisa, como forma de demonstrar a proximidade existente com as práticas de investigação criminal e a possibilidade de uma metodologia científica para ela, como uma forma particular de ciência social. Em síntese, trata-se de parcela de estudo mais amplo que pretende demonstrar as relações e proximidades entre investigação criminal e pesquisa científica.

Demobilizing and Reintegrating FARC Fighters: The challenges faced to end the forever war
Authors: De Azevedo Christian Vianna
Published: June 2018

Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia - FARC has consolidated its position as the longest surviving and the most entrenched guerrilla movement in all of the Americas. FARC has been steadily weakened after significant leadership losses, more than half of its foot soldiers and a substantial amount of its experienced mid level commanders. Yet peace is not in sight. Colombian civil war happens to be the stereotypical intractable conflict. Colombian state forces have been increasingly powerful, yet the guerrilla, although crippled, is entrenched and resilient. The government has relied on the demobilization program as a way out for a conflict that seems ripe for resolution. Colombian demobilization program is called PAHD – Programa de Atención Humanitaria al Desmovilizado. It has been highly regarded and approved by the population and by the demobilized as well. One of the greatest concerns of the government is about the life of the ex-fighters after demobilization. The economic reintegration has proven to be arduous and recidivism may be a problem. Yet there are other concerns about the defeat of FARC that have to be worked together with the demobilization program so peace can be finally achievable.
Inquérito Policial: um instrumento eficiente e indispensável à investigação
Authors: Perazzoni Franco , Silva Wellington Clay Porcino
Published: June 2018

O recrudescimento da violência, nestes últimos anos, conduziu-nos a um cenário de intensa desconfiança no Sistema de Justiça Criminal, sobretudo na Segurança Pública. Para alguns, a verdadeira panaceia universal dos graves problemas de Segurança Pública brasileiros seria tão somente a adopção de modelos estrangeiros de estrutura policial e, por conseguinte, de investigaçãocriminal, como se o avanço da criminalidade não fosse causado pelas inúmeras mudanças sociais ocorridas ao longo das últimas décadas, mas, sim, pela opção histórica que o Brasil fez a respeito de seu modelo de investigação criminal. Ao longo deste estudo, procurar-se-á demonstrar que os resultados investigativos obtidos por forças policias dependem muito mais do tipo de crime investigado e da sociedade na qual tal corporação se encontra inserida do que do modelode investigação adotado. Verificar-se-á, também, que no Brasil, a despeito das inúmeras críticas, diversas unidades de polícia judiciária têm obtido resultados expressivos, em patamares até superiores ao de polícias estrangeiras, consideradas de referência. Ademais, veremos que, para além do aspecto qualitativo, o inquérito policial brasileiro, devido à natureza imparcial da autoridade que o preside, isto é, o delegado de polícia, é aquele que melhor se adequa a um processo penal verdadeiramente garantista, sem descuidar da necessária proteção à sociedade.

Published: June 2018

O presente trabalho propõe uma análise acerca da investigação criminal, sobretudo em relação aos conhecimentos adquiridos durante a atividade apuratória dos órgãos persecutórios brasileiros. Com efeito, no âmbito do inquérito, a policia obtém diversas informações, que podem estar relacionadas àquele determinado caso penal, mas que também eventualmente podem escapar do espectro de crimes e de pessoas previamente delimitado no momento da execução das medidas investigatórias. Nesse aspecto, busca-se, pois, abordar de que forma se mostra legítima, dentro de um processo penal vinculado a um Estado Democrático de Direito, a valoração dos conhecimentos fortuitos surgidos no desenvolvimento da investigação criminal.

Da Alegação do Delito de Desacato para a configuração do Crime de Abuso de Poder e Autoridade: uma linha tênue
Authors: Medeiros Aline Oliveira Mendes de
Published: June 2018

A presente pesquisa pretende analisar as casuísticas em espécie em que o delito de desacato é utilizado para mascarar a configuração do crime de abuso de autoridade, enfatizando o conhecimento jurídico como uma aposta para a promoção da isonomia jurídica e da justiça nos termos da Constituição. No intuito de verificar uma resposta a essa temática, formulou-se o seguinte problema de pesquisa: É possível que o conhecimento jurídico seja meio eficiente e eficaz para descobrir quando uma alegação de configuração de desacato trate-se de mera camuflagem para encobrir o cometimento do delito de abuso de poder? Visando responder ao problema proposto, o trabalho tem por objetivo geral discutir a possibilidade de o judiciário desestimular a prática das alegações infundadas do crime de desacato, restaurando a justiça no plano prático. E, por objetivos específicos: a) estudar as peculiaridades da atividade policial; b) examinar os tipos delitivos dos delitos de desacato e de abuso de autoridade; c) analisar os posicionamentos jurisprudenciais acerca do tema. O aprofundamento teórico pautou-se em pesquisa bibliográfica, consubstanciada na leitura de diversas obras, apoiando-se em um método dedutivo.

A Entrega Vigiada de Vítimas na Convenção de Palermo: um estudo diante da dignidade da pessoa humana
Authors: Dornelas Luciano Ferreira
Published: June 2018

Resumo: A “entrega vigiada” no tráfico e contrabando internacional de pessoas permitida na Convenção de Palermo traz evidente conflito em relação à dignidade humana em decorrência da discricionariedade da autoridade policial. O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar, diante do permissivo da “entrega vigiada” de vítimas prevista no Protocolo Adicional à Convenção de Palermo, em que medida é necessário que as autoridades permitam o risco à integridade física e/ou sexual de uma ou de algumas vítimas de tráfico e contrabando de pessoas em prol da obtenção de provas ou do melhor momento que justifique o retardamento da ação para o alcance de uma condenação substancial dos envolvidos ou que abranja maior número de delinquentes. Coloca-se o questionamento se a integridade física e a dignidade sexual das vítimas postas em condição de “entrega vigiada” têm recebido primazia em prol da pretensão de colheita da prova. A conclusão aponta no sentido de que as autoridades, ao se utilizarem da “entrega vigiada” de vítimas têm negligenciado a segurança e a dignidade da pessoa em prol da melhor obtenção da prova, não provendo mecanismos efetivos que assegurem a integridade física e moral da pessoa humana durante as investigações de tráfico e contrabando de pessoas.

Thai Adolescent Depression: Recurrence Prevention in Practice
Authors: Jatchavala Chonnakarn , Chan Stella W. Y.
Published: June 2018

This article aims to review the current practice of recurrence prevention and intervention of adolescent depressive disorder in Thailand. In particular, we assess the Clinical Practice Guideline of Major Depressive Disorder for General Practitioners (CPG-MDD-GP) for Thailand, which is now the official guideline for all depressive patients who are children, adolescents, and adults in Thailand. Although this current Thai clinical guideline was developed and derived from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) of the United Kingdom and the recommendations and the practice parameters of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), it differs from these guidelines in a number of ways. Specifically, the main tool for the primary assessment of the Thai CPG-MDD-GP is called 9Q which categorizes the severity and follow-up of depressive symptoms by health care providers in a hospital setting, whereas the NICE guideline for depression in children and adolescents is based mainly on the community setting, and the AACAP parameter assesses patients by a direct interview method. Additionally, the Thai CPG-MDD-GP has no premise intervention for recurrence prevention of depression and lacks details regarding the importance of treatment engagement by family and community.
Pencegahan terhadap Pelanggaran Hak Perempuan Sebagai Pekerja berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2003

Published: June 2018

Dewasa ini, Peningkatan produktivitas oleh perusahaan sangat dibutuhkan dalam memenuhi kebutuhan pasar baik dalam skala nasional, maupun global. Tenaga kerja sangat dibutuhkan dalam sistem produksi suatu perusahaan. Meningkatnya kebutuhan terhadap jumlah tenaga kerja tidak hanya terbatas pada laki-laki akan tetapi juga pada pekerja perempuan, sehingga kondisi hari ini perusahaan-perusahaan di Indonesia juga memperkerjakan pekerja perempuan yang ditempatkan di bagian produksinya. Peningkatan tersebut, mestinya seiring meningkatnya perlindungan hak pekerja perempuan dalam Hubungan Industrial, Sayangnya, masih terjadi banyak kasus terhadap pelanggaran di berbagai daerah. Berdasarkan latar inilah, pelaksana mengadakan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat dalam bentuk penyuluhan mengenai “Pencegahan terhadap Pelanggaran Hak Pekerja Perempuan Berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan.” Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di PT. PAS (Prakarsa Alam Segar), Bekasi. Perusahaan ini memiliki 80% pekerja perempuan dari seluruh pekerja sebanyak 5.925 pekerja. Kegiatan penyuluhan ini diikuti 71 peserta. Sayangnya, hanya 40% peserta perempuan yang hadir pada kegiatan ini. Walaupun, peserta perempuan yang ikut tidak sebanyak dari laki-laki, akan tetapi materi yangdisampaikan tersampaikan sesuai dengan target semula. Hal ini dilihat dari hasil Pra dan Post Test yang diberikan pada saat kegiatan dilaksanakan. Berdasarkan hasil pelaksanaan kegiatan, Secara normatif hak-hak pekerja perempuan telah dipenuhi bahkan diatur dalam perjanjian Kerja Bersama antara Pekerja dan Perusahaan. Sayangnya, ada beberapa klausul dalam perjanjian tersebut, yang akhirnya menjadi kendala bagi pekerja perempuan untuk dipenuhi hak-hak pekerja perempuan itu sendiri, seperti salah satu contohnya, adanya kewajiban menyertakan surat keterangan dokter dalam mengajukan cuti haid. Hal ini dianggap oleh pekerja perempuan menjadi permasalahan dalam perlindungan hak pekerja perempuan itu sendiri. Permasalahan ini juga berdampak buruk bagi fungsi reproduksi pekerja, sehingga tidak dapat berkerja secara produktif bahkan juga dapat memicu timbulkan perselisihan hak antara pekerja dan perusahaan jika perusahaan tidak mau memenuhi hak tersebut.

Published: June 2018

Di Indonesia, baru ada sedikit bukti nyata terjadinya Timmons Model yang muncul bersamaan dengan rasa kebutuhan akan prestasi sebagai prediktor dorongan membuka bisnis online atau disebut “E-preneur”. Penelitian sebelumnya mengungkapkan bahwa mahasiswa menilai pendidikan kewirausahaan sebagai hal yang negatif. Oleh karena itu, penelitian kali ini akan menguji variabel laten secara bersamaan dalam dimensi Timmons Model yang dikombinasikan dengan kebutuhan akan prestasi (Need for achievement) dalam menciptakan “E-preneur” Intention. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Partial Least Square (PLS) dan juga  purposive sampling  dalam survey kepada 106 mahasiswa bisnis dan manajemen di Jakarta dan Bandung. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa opportunity berpengaruh positif pada need for achievement dan intensi berwirausaha di bidang online, web dan aplikasi (E-preneur). Kemudian, entrepreneurial team memiliki pengaruh positif dalam menciptakan dorongan untuk menjadi “E-preneur” dan tidak signifikan terhadap need for achievement. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa universitas berbasis kewirausahaan harus mengadakan semakin banyak kegiatan eksperiensial seperti pinjaman kredit lunak dan presentasi langsung (direct pitching) dengan investor yang sebenarnya.
Antithrombotic medication and bleeding risk in patients with cerebral cavernous malformations: a cohort study
Authors: Bervini David , Jaeggi Christian , Mordasini Pasquale , Schucht Philippe , Raabe Andreas
Published: June 2018

OBJECTIVE

Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are frequently diagnosed vascular abnormalities. The hemorrhagic risk associated with the use of long-term antithrombotic medication (ATM) in patients with CCMs is a matter of controversy. The aim of this study was to determine the hemorrhagic risk associated with ATM use in patients diagnosed with one or more CCMs.

METHODS

Demographic, clinical, treatment, and ATM-related information on patients diagnosed with one or more CCMs at a single institution over more than 34 years was retrospectively recorded. Univariate and multivariate descriptive and survival analyses were used to assess potential risk factors associated with CCM-related hemorrhage at presentation and during follow-up (first or subsequent hemorrhage).

RESULTS

A total of 408 patients were included in the analysis and 492 CCMs were followed up after diagnosis, for a total of 1616 lesion-years. Thirty-seven (7.5%) CCMs bled during follow-up, leading to an overall annual rate of CCM-related symptomatic hemorrhage of 2.3% (95% CI 1.7%–3.2%). Eighty-two patients harboring 91 CCMs (16.8%) were on ATM. When stratified for ATM, the annual rates of hemorrhage were 0.7% (95% CI < 0.01% to 4.2%) for the lesions in patients on ATM versus 2.5% (95% CI 1.8%–3.4%) for those not on ATM. ATM was not found to be associated with either an increased risk of CCM-related hemorrhage at presentation (p = 0.355) or an increased risk of CCM-related hemorrhage (first or subsequent hemorrhage) in multivariate descriptive (p = 0.912) and survival (p = 0.145) analyses.

CONCLUSIONS

The use of ATM does not seem to be associated with an increased risk of hemorrhage in patients diagnosed with CCMs.

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) are cell surface glycoproteins encoded by Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) geneof human genome. HLA antigen frequency and haplotype distribution are useful for determining disease associations, origin, migration and genetic relationships between populations and predicting the outcome of transplantation. Thus, the present study was carried outto identify HLA class I (HLA-A and HLA-B) antigen and haplotype distribution among a selected Bangladeshi population. This retrospective study was conducted among 1070 individuals who were referred by cliniciansfor HLA typing at the Tissue Typing Laboratory of the Department of Virology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) during the period 2009 to 2011. For HLA typing, Blood was collected in heparin containing tube and the laboratory tests were performed by the microlymphocytotoxicity technique according to manufacturer’s instructions.Out of 19 HLA-A and 37HLA-B antigens tested, a total of 19/19 and 36/37 antigens were detectedrespectively in this study. The most frequent antigens of HLA-A and HLA-B detected were A11 (25.4%), A24 (16.6%), B75 (18.1%) and B35 (11.3%). The least antigen frequency detected for HLA-A locus were A69 (0.09%), A26 (0.28%), A34 (0.28%), while for HLA-B locus were B81 (0.09%) and B56 (0.09%). Among the HLA-A and HLA-B antigens, some alleles were found to be homozygote such as A11 (4.0%), A2 (2.7%), A24 (2.1%) andB75 (2.4%), B35 (1.8%), and B44 (1.4%) respectively. The most frequent haplotype in the study populationwereA11: B75 (4.9%). The most frequent antigens of HLA-A and HLA-B detected were A11 (25.4%), B75 (18.1%) respectively. The distribution of HLA haplotypes among the study population indicates that it has the influence of Oriental and Asian populations. Thus, this study will be helpful to provide valuable information for population genetics and HLA disease association analysis.Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull 2018; 44(1):01-08

Published: June 2018

Depression in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease is highly prevalent that can significantly impair the quality of life. Its exact mechanism of development is still poorly understood. It is well studied in western population but data from Asia especially in the South Asian region is limited. Considering this, to identify the potential risk factors of depression,a cross-sectional study was conducted among Parkinson’s disease patients attending a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh between July 2013-June 2014, in the Department of Neurology, ShaheedSuhrawardy Medical College and Hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh. One hundred thirtyseven cases of Parkinson’s disease were enrolled, based on UK Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank criteria. Brain MRI was done in all cases, and patients with aphasia, significant cognitive deficits, secondary Parkinsonism were excluded. The overall prevalence of depression in the study population was 42%. There were no significant differences in gender, residence, education, smoking and marital status. In univariate analysis, age≥70 years, un-employed, right side predominantly involved, disease duration ≥5 years, sleep disturbance, postural instability, dose of levodopa ≥500 mg/day, Hoehn and Yahrstage ≥III and moderate to severe disability were significantly associated with depressive disorder. Whereas in multivariate linear stepwise regression model, age ≥70 years), p=0.044), right side predominant involvement (p<0.001); sleep disturbance (p=0.006) and dose of levodopa ≥500 mg/day (p<0.001) were the major risk factors for depressive disorder. A significant proportion of Parkinson’s disease patients suffer from depression. It was identified that depression in Parkinson’s disease was significantly associated with advancing age, predominate right side involvement, sleep disturbance and higher daily dose of levodopa.Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull 2018; 44(1):9-14

Published: June 2018

Perception on breast cancer influences the help seeking pattern of breast cancer patients. Negative perception causes delay in help seeking. Outcome or survival rate of breast cancer has a relation on perception. A cross sectional study was done during July 2015-June 2016, to assess the perception on breast cancer and to find out the help seeking pattern and extent of help seeking time among breast cancer patients. A total of 200 patients were selected following the convenient method of sampling from National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital. Dhaka. Face to face interviews were taken from the diagnosed breast cancer patients admitted in the hospital. Forty five percent patients were illiterate and 83% were house wife. The mean age was 42 and mean monthly family income was around 9000 taka. Two thirds of the respondents were present with locally advance stage (stage III) and three fourth of the patients identified the lump as 1st symptom. Four of 10 patients first sought help to homeopathy for their cancer diagnosis and treatment. Mean help seeking time was 11 months. Nine out of 10 patients were agreed with the statement, ‘I was healthy’. Maximum respondents (81.0%) agreed with the statement, ‘wait and see what would be happened’. Results showed that there was a relationship between delay help seeking and the statement of perception. There were significant associations between the perception on expensive treatment, perception on ‘I am healthy’, perception on ‘lump related with menstruation’, perception on ‘wait and see what would be happened’, perception on ‘feared to do operation, it may cause death’ and perception on family income and the delay in help seeking. Along with perception on breast cancer use of alternative medicine, lack of social support, health care delivery system, economic factor etc. influence the pattern and delay in help seeking. Further to the existing efforts to correct the perception for early diagnosis and treatment to overcome this problem is suggested.Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull 2018; 44(1):39-44

Published: June 2018

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a global disease, and evidence suggests that its prevalence is increasing. Prevalence estimates show considerable geographic variation.According to WHO, prevalence of GERD in far EastAsia currently consistently lower than 10%,which is 8-20% in India. No such population based dataare available in Bangladesh. Thus, the studywas designed to determine the prevalence of GERD and its risk factors inrural community of Bangladesh.This descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried outfrom January to June 2015 by using validated questionnaire through door to door interview among randomly selected 2000 participants in a rural communityof Bangladesh. A cutoff point 3 was chosen as a valid and reliable scale to confirm GERD. Among the study participants, 1212 were male and 788 were female.Their average age range was 18 to 60 years. A total of 136 participants were found to have GERD symptoms and among them 43 were men and 93 were women. Thus, the prevalence of GERD in the study was 6.8%. GERD was highly associated with higher age group, women, Muslims, and participants withdiabetes mellitus, asthma and overweight.Prevalence of GERD in rural community of Bangladesh is lower than that of the western world.For a better understanding on GERD, it is important that a study should be carried in a representative samples across Bangladesh.Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull 2018; 44(1):45-51

Published: June 2018

Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a member of Herpesviridae family. It can cause two distinct clinical entities: varicella (chickenpox) and herpes zoster (shingles).1,2Herpes Zoster(HZ) is painful, vesicular rash in a limited area on one side of body due to the reactivation of latent VZV in dorsal root ganglia.Involvement of three or more dermatomes is known as disseminated zoster and seen in immunocompromised individuals.It can occur at any age. The risk of herpes zoster increases with old age and in patients with reduced cell mediated immunity such as haematological malignancies, immunosuppressive therapies, HIV infection and transplant recipients. The incidence of herpes zoster has been variably reported as 2% in Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), 13% in Chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL) and 30% in transplantrecipients.3-5This was a rare case of disseminated herpes zoster in a patient with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemiadeveloped while on chemotherapy progressing to prolonged myelosuppression.Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull 2018; 44(1):59-61
