Published: October 2020

Ikan tongkol (Euthynnus Affinis) adalah salah satu ikan yang paling banyak diminati di Indonesia karena kandungan proteinnya hampir setara ikan tuna, namun dengan harga relatif lebih murah. Ikan termasuk komoditi pangan yang mudah rusak tanpa adanya penanganan khusus ketika ikan ditangkap. Padahal, mutu dan nilai jual ikan sangat tergantung dari parameter kesegaran ikan itu sendiri. Penelitian ini mengembangkan metode deteksi kesegaran ikan tongkol menggunakan fitur berupa citra mata ikan. Mata ikan dapat digunakan untuk mengetahui tingkat kesegarannya. Ikan segar memiliki pupil bulat berwarna hitam yang utuh dan jernih di tengahnya. Hal tersebut kemudian dijadikan knowledge-based dari proses deteksi kesegaran ikan. Sebelum dilakukan proses deteksi, dilakukan proses pre-processing untuk mendapatkan gambar kepala ikan secara otomatis. Selanjutnya dilakukan perhitungan similarity antara citra biner kepala ikan dengan 2 buah template, yakni Template-Mata untuk mendeteksi mata dan Template-Tengah untuk mendeteksi bulat hitam di tengah mata. Sebanyak 30 citra mata ikan dengan kriteria segar dan tidak segar digunakan sebagai data pengujian. Dari pengujian, kedua template tersebut mampu membedakan ciri morfologis dari mata ikan yang segar dengan tepat.AbstractTongkol fish (Euthynnus Affinis) is one of the most popular fish in Indonesia because it has more protein than tuna, but with a relatively cheaper price. Fish is a perishable food commodities if it is caught without any special handling. In fact, the quality and value of fish selling depends on the parameters of the freshness of the fish itself. This study developed a method for detecting freshness of tongkol fish using features that is extracted from the image of a fish's eye. Fish eye can be used to determine the level of freshness. Fresh fish have whole round and clear black pupils in the middle. This is then made into knowledge-base on the process of detecting the freshness. First, this fully automatic detection performed a pre-processing process to obtain automatic fish head images. It was then compared with two templates, which are eye-template and middle-template. If the fish head image has similarity below certain threshold then it is classified as fresh fish, or else it is non-fresh fish. A total of 30 images of fish with fresh and non-fresh criteria were used as test data. From the test, the two templates can classify the morphological characteristics of fresh fish eyes precisely.

Lumbosacral extradural extramedullary hematopoiesis in thalassemia major causing spinal canal stenosis
Authors: Suresh Sumatha Channapatna , Raju Bharath , Jumah Fareed , Nanda Anil
Published: October 2020

Background:

Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EH) is common in patients with ineffective erythropoiesis like thalassemia major (TM). EH commonly involves intra-abdominal organs (e.g., spleen and liver), but rarely involves vertebral bodies. Here, we reviewed images of EH contributing to spinal canal stenosis.

Case Description:

A 19-year-old male with beta-thalassemia major (TM) presented with pain and bilateral lower extremity neurogenic claudication. Bilaterally, on examination, he had positive straight leg raising to 30°, a loss of the Achilles responses, and decreased pain appreciation in the L5S1 distributions. The lumbar MR showed anterior epidural lobulated mass lesions at L5 and S1, contributing to marked canal stenosis. Following an L5/S1 laminectomy for decompression, the biopsy revealed extramedullary hematopoietic tissue.

Conclusion:

Patients presenting with the lower extremity symptoms/signs, ranging from low back pain to neurogenic claudication and even paraplegia, may have EH secondary to TM. Treatment options include hypertransfusion, local radiation therapy, and/or surgical decompression.

Reactive intermediates are key to halting and promoting chemical transformations, however due to their elusive nature, they are seldom harnessed for reaction design. Herein, we describe studies aimed at stabilizing reactive intermediates in the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalytic cycle, which enabled fully shutting down the known benzoin coupling pathway, while rerouting its intermediates toward deuteration. The reversible nature of NHC catalysis and the selective stabilization of reaction intermediates facilitated clean hydrogen-deuterium exchange reactions of aromatic aldehydes by D2O, even for challenging electron withdrawing substrates. The addition of catalytic amounts of phenyl boronic acid was used to further stabilize highly reactive intermediates and mitigate the formation of benzoin coupling by-products. The mechanistic understanding at the foundation of this work resulted in unprecedented mild conditions with base and catalyst loadings as low as 0.1 mol%, and a scalable deuteration reaction applicable to a broad substrate scope with outstanding functional group tolerance. More importantly, adopting this approach enabled the construction of a machine-learning derived guideline for identifying the appropriate catalyst and conditions for different substrates based on a logistic regression classification model. Experimental studies combined with machine learning and computational methods shed light on the non-trivial mechanistic underpinnings of this reaction.

Published: October 2020

Mechanochemistry is a powerful alternative to traditional solvent-based synthesis as it is environmentally benign, allows for higher yields in shorter reaction times, while minimizing the use of solvents. Although mechanochemical routes are becoming increasingly mainstream in synthetic laboratories, up-scales examples for main group complexes are still rare. Here, motivated by the practical implementation of mechanosynthesis, we demonstrated the synthesis of salen and salophen complexes. The herein reported synthesis displays low E-factor and process mass intensity compared to conventional solution methods. In addition, analyses evaluating environmental parameters, energy consumption and production costs have been performed, showing the multiple advantages mechanochemistry has over convetional solution-based synthesis

Published: October 2020

Proper Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) management is important for better health outcomes. Knowledge and education are key components for better treatment and diabetes control. In patients with GDM, poor health literacy may be there which is associated with poor diabetic control and require educational program to improve health outcomes. A risk factor is any characteristic of an individual that can increase the likelihood of developing a disease. Risk factor assessment is usually recommended in many populations in early pregnancy. The prospective study was conducted for 6 months to assess knowledge and risk factors associated with gestational diabetes in 58 pregnant women using KAP questionnaire from WINGS project. The study found that knowledge among non GDM patients was poor when compared to GDM patients. Family history and obesity were found to be the major risk factors for development of gestational diabetes. So the future direction should focus on early prediction and effective preventive measures before GDM develops. Therefore a need for patient counseling is essential to reduce the GDM patients in future.

Published: October 2020

Docetaxel chemotherapy in metastatic prostate cancer offers only a modest survival benefit because of emerging resistance. To identify candidate therapeutic gene targets, we applied a murine prostate cancer orthograft model that recapitulates clinical invasive prostate cancer in a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen under docetaxel treatment pressure. We identified 17 candidate genes whose suppression may enhance the efficacy of docetaxel, with transcription elongation factor A–like 1 (Tceal1) as the top candidate. TCEAL1 function is not fully characterised; it may modulate transcription in a promoter dependent fashion. Suppressed TCEAL1 expression in multiple human prostate cancer cell lines enhanced therapeutic response to docetaxel. Based on gene set enrichment analysis from transcriptomic data and flow cytometry, we confirmed that loss of TCEAL1 in combination with docetaxel leads to an altered cell cycle profile compared with docetaxel alone, with increased subG1 cell death and increased polyploidy. Here, we report the first in vivo genome-wide treatment sensitisation CRISPR screen in prostate cancer, and present proof of concept data on TCEAL1 as a candidate for a combinational strategy with the use of docetaxel.

Published: October 2020

We observed an increase in notifications of puerperal group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections in July and August 2018 throughout the Netherlands without evidence for common sources. General practitioners reported a simultaneous increase in impetigo. We hypothesised that the outbreak of puerperal GAS infections resulted from increased exposure via impetigo in the community.

We conducted a case–control study to assess peripartum exposure to possible, non-invasive GAS infections using an online questionnaire. Confirmed cases were recruited through public health services while probable cases and controls were recruited through social media. We calculated odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) with logistic regression analysis.

We enrolled 22 confirmed and 23 probable cases, and 2,400 controls. Contact with persons with impetigo were reported by 8% of cases and 2% of controls (OR: 3.26, 95% CI: 0.98–10.88) and contact with possible GAS infections (impetigo, pharyngitis or scarlet fever) by 28% and 9%, respectively (OR: 4.12, 95% CI: 1.95–8.68). In multivariable analysis, contact with possible GAS infections remained an independent risk factor (aOR: 4.28, 95% CI: 2.02–9.09).

We found an increased risk of puerperal fever after community contact with possible non-invasive GAS infections. Further study of this association is warranted.

On 22 August, a common whitethroat in the Netherlands tested positive for West Nile virus lineage 2. The same bird had tested negative in spring. Subsequent testing of Culex mosquitoes collected in August and early September in the same location generated two of 44 positive mosquito pools, providing first evidence for enzootic transmission in the Netherlands. Sequences generated from the positive mosquito pools clustered with sequences that originate from Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic.

Published: October 2020

Media pembelajaran merupakan salah satu komponen sistem pembelajaran. Tanpa media, proses pembelajaran sebagai proses komunikasi juga tidak akan bisa berlangsung secara optimal. Penggunaan media dalam pembelajaran dapat membantu siswa dalam memberikan pengalaman yang bermakna bagi siswa dan dapat mempermudah siswa dalam memahami sesuatu yang abstrak menjadi lebih konkrit. Media pembelajaran interaktif merupakan salah satu jenis media pembelajaran. Dalam mengembangkan media pembelajaran interaktif perlu mempertimbangkan beban kognitif siswa. Teori yang membicarakan beban kognitif adalah Cognitive Load. Berdasarkan teori beban kognitif (cognitive load theory), agar tercapai pembelajaran yang efektif, pengembangan media interaktif harus dapat mengurangi pemrosesan beban kognitif extraneous, mengatur pemrosesan beban kognitif intrinsic, dan membantu mengembangkan pemrosesan beban kognitif germane.

STRATEGI KONFLIK KOGNITIF (COGNITIVE CONFLICTS) DALAM MENGATASI MISKONSEPSI SISWA
Authors: Puspasari Ratih
Published: October 2020

Konflik kognitif adalah keadaan dimana terdapat ketidak cocokan antara struktur kognitifÂ  yang dimiliki oleh seseorang dengan informasi yang baru di dapat dari luar. Ketidakyakinan, keraguan, kebingungan, kontradiksi, yang bertentangan dengan hal yang ada dalam pikirannya, maka hal tersebut menjadi tanda-tanda dari konflik kognitif. Piaget menyatakan bahwa struktur kognitif didalam otak manusia berkembang melalui interaksi dengan lingkungannya melalui asimilasi dan akomodasi. Jika asimilasi dan akomodasi terjadi secara bebas (tanpa konflik), maka dikatakan bahwa struktur kognitif barada dalamÂ  keadaan equilibrium dengan lingkungannya. Sebaliknya, jika hal ini tidak terjadi pada diri seseorang, maka dikatakan ia mengalami ketidakseimbangan kognitif atau mengalami konflik kognitif (cognititive disequilibrium). Berdasarkan hal ini, maka dapat dikatakan bahwa konflik kognitif perlu dikondisikan agar terjadi suatu equilibrium pada tingkat yang lebih tinggi daripada equilibrium yang sebelumnya.

IMAGE INFLUENCE BASED ON HALLMARK EVENT
Authors: Mohan Leon
Published: October 2020

Despite Tampa's growing popularity as a travel destination and solid economy, Tampa's image as a vacation preference continues to evolve. This exploration examines the influence of Tampa’s Annual Gasparilla event on guest preference of a destination, contrasting first-time and revisit guests' discernments, as well as the individuals who explicitly came to see Gasparilla, or for different purposes. A directed questionnaire was utilized in gathering information from 158 respondents, enabling a pre and post examination of how visiting recurrence and reason for visit (Gasparilla or not) affected picture the perception of the destination. The outcomes demonstrated that perceptions could vacillate significantly after sequential visits, in spite of the fact that the Gasparilla occasion in itself didn't change guest perceptions. Different types of data sources were analyzed in their utilization in persuading the guest to travel to Tampa during this period, uncovering the significance of word of mouth, yet in addition recommending the significance of having a coordinated marketing and advertising program.
STUDI KARAKTERISASI PENCAMPURAN BIODIESEL DENGAN MINY AK SOLAR
Authors: Murti SD Sumbogo
Published: October 2020

Biodiesel adalah bahan bakar alternatif yang mirip dengan solar dari minyak bumi. Biodiesel dapat diproduksi dari minyak nabati langsung, minyak hewani atau lemak dan minyak goreng bekas. Sifat fisik biodiesel mirip dengan minyak bumi, tapi biodiesel secara signifikan mengurangi emisi gas rumah kaca dan polutan udara yang beracun. Namun, ada beberapa kekurangan biodiesel seperti rentan terhadap kontaminasi air, kandungan energi lebih rendah serta memiliki masalah pada suhu rendah. Biodiesel dapat dicampur dan digunakan dalam berbagai konsentrasi. Pemerintah Indonesia telah meluncurkan kebijakan campuran biodiesel secara bertahap sampai 30% pada tahun 2020. Untuk memastikan pelaksanaan kebijakan tersebut, sebuah studi tentang pencampuran biodiesel dengan minyak bumi telah dilakukan. Biodiesel dibuat dari minyak kelapa sawit, minyak jarak pagar dan minyak canola. Pencampuran dilakukan dengan berbagai komposisi. Beberapa sifat termofisik dari campuran telah diteliti sesuai dengan standar ASTM. Hasil pengukuran campuran bahan bakar biodiesel bervariasi sesuai dengan komposisi campuran dan asal biodiesel. Umumnya, sifat biodiesel campuran dari minyak kelapa sawit dan minyak Canola dapat memenuhi standar yang berlaku di Indonesia. Di sisi lain biodiesel dari minyak jarak tidak dapat memenuhi standar kualitas stabilitas oksidasi.Kata kunci : sifat bahan bakar, campuran biodiesel, minyak sawit, minyak jarak, minyak canola
