Authors: Kristianto Aries , Efendi Usman
Published: October 2021

Abstrak Jakarta khususnya daerah pesisir sangat rentan dengan adanya permasalahan lingkungan berupa rob. Pemetaan daerah yang berpotensi terdampak rob sangat diperlukan guna menyusun upaya mitigasi. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan prediksi tinggi muka laut dengan model Delft3D dan digunakan untuk memprediksi daerah tergenang rob menggunakan model LISFLOOD FP pada tanggal 18 – 20 November 2019 di pesisir Jakarta. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa prediksi tinggi muka laut memiliki akurasi yang baik, dengan koefisien korelasi pada tingkat kuat sebesar 0,93 dan nilai RMSE sebesar 0,13 meter. Sementara itu, prediksi rob model LISFLOOD FP menunjukkan luas maksimum yang terjadi 2 hingga 3 jam setelah fase puncak tinggi muka laut dan menggenangi 8 kecamatan di Jakarta Utara dan Jakarta Barat. Abstract Jakarta region especially the coastal areas are very vulnerable to environmental problems such as coastal inundation. Mapping of areas potentially affected by coastal inundation is needed to arrange mitigation efforts. In this study, sea level prediction was estimated using the Delft3D model and used to predict coastal inundation areas using the LISFLOOD FP model on 18-20 November 2019 on the coast of Jakarta. The results showed that the sea-level prediction model has good accuracy, with a correlation coefficient at a strong level of 0.92 and an RMSE error value of 0.13 meters. Meanwhile, coastal inundation prediction from the LISFLOOD FP model inundated 8 sub-districts in North Jakarta and West Jakarta and showed the maximum area in 2 to 3 hours after the peak phase of sea level.

Published: October 2021

Reportamos sobre un individuo adulto de sapo de caña (Rhinella marina) con anoftalmía en la isla de Montserrat. El individuo, con el globo ocular derecho ausente, también presentaba lesiones en la parte superior de su cabeza, probablemente como resultado de intentos fallados de depredación por parte de roedores invasores en la isla. Aunque esta pueda ser la explicación más probable para el párpado hundido, registros previos de una prevalencia anormal de ojos ausente en poblaciones introducidas de Rhinella en islas pequeñas pueden sugerir la aparición de un patrón que valga la pena investigar.

Resumen— La brucelosis es una zoonosis que puede afectar al hombre, al ganado, y fauna silvestre, la cual se ha ido expandiendo hacia nuevos reservorios. Se reconocen actualmente 14 especies, reportadas para mamíferos marinos, peces y anfibios. Sin embargo; actualmente se desconoce su papel en la saurofauna silvestre mexicana. En los últimos años, en la Cuenca Oriental, se detectó a Brucella melitensis ambientalmente en suelo agrícola y en el agua de los Lagos Cráter, por lo que se especulaba si B. melitensis tenía la capacidad de infectar a algún lacertilio nativo. Entre febrero del 2014 y abril del 2016, se colectaron 75 ejemplares de Sceloporus megalepidurus. Se diseñó un experimento, realizando el primoaislamiento en Placa-Agar derivado de muestras de tejidos blandos, la identificación se planteó mediante las pruebas microbiológicas estándar. Se comparó por PCR, con las cepas vacunales de referencia (BM16 y BS19). Se aisló a B. melitensis en (40%) de las muestras estudiadas, los perfiles microbiológicos resultaron comparativamente idénticos con las cepas de referencia, se amplió el gen específico para el género Brucella, bp26 con 1029pb. Este es el primer reporte de aislamiento e identificacion para B. melitensis en una lacertilio nativo mexicano, Estos datos pueden ser una herramienta útil para mejorar la comprensión sobre la patogénesis y virulencia del género Brucella en el medio natural y su efecto potencial en la fauna silvestre, así como nuevos reservorios de la enfermedad.

LOS HADROSAURIOS (ORNITHOPODA, HADROSAUROIDEA) MEXICANOS: UNA REVISIÓN CRÍTICA
Authors: Ramírez Velasco Angel Alejandro
Published: October 2021

Este trabajo ofrece un panorama actualizado sobre los hadrosaurios de México a través de la revisión crítica de 175 publicaciones aparecidas entre 1913 y 2019, donde se reportan restos de naturaleza ósea, icnológica, tegumentaria, dental y oolítica de estos organimos. Los datos fueron sintetizados y analizados mediante métodos estadísticos tradicionales y curvas de rarefacción. Además, se proporciona un catálogo de 167 sitios paleontológicos portadores de restos de estos organismos, cuyos depósitos pertenecen a 18 unidades geológicas, cuyas edades se ubican entre el Albiano y el Maastrichtiano, presentes en los Estados de Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Puebla y Michoacán. Los datos recopilados permiten reconocer una diversidad taxonómica comparativamente baja con respecto al resto de Norteamérica, a pesar de que el estudio de estos dinosaurios se iniciara de manera sistemática desde los 80´s en México. Sólo cinco especies han sido descritas fromalmente a partir de restos óseos y se ha identificado una única icnosepecie del grupo. Mientras que otros restos óseos de hadrosaurios del país sólo han sido vagamente identificados. La revisión de la historia del estudio de los hadrosaurios en México, así como las curvas obntenidas del correspondiente esfuerzo de muestreo, sugieren que estos dinosaurios fueron diversos y abundantes en este país y que además presentaban una abundancia y diversidad distinta al resto de América.
El contexto educativo como predictor de habilidades digitales y comportamientos riesgosos en Internet
Authors: Pérez Sánchez Rolando , Torres Fernández David
Published: October 2021

El estudio busca determinar el efecto de la mediación tecnológica docente, la mediación de las amistades, el uso educativo de la Internet y las reglas asociadas al uso del teléfono celular en la institución educativa sobre las habilidades digitales y los comportamientos de riesgo. El estudio se llevó a cabo con 530 adolescentes costarricenses de entre 13 y 17 años, 52.6 por ciento mujeres y una edad promedio de 14.84 años (DT=1.44). Se recurrió a un modelo de ecuación estructural, además de la utilización de análisis de mediación y moderación como procedimientos de análisis. Un mayor uso de la Internet en el colegio, una mayor mediación activa de los pares y niveles socioeconómicos más altos se asocian a mayores habilidades digitales, mientras que un mayor uso de la Internet se asocia a mayores comportamientos de riesgo, pero una mayor mediación activa de los pares se relaciona con un menor riesgo.
A Three-Echelon Dual-Channel Supply Chain Model with Learning Effect Under the Return Policy
Authors: Saha Sujata
Published: October 2021

In today's competitive and technologically developed era, many retailers have adopted an e-channel to increase sales, in addition to the existing traditional retail channel. Although many researchers studied this issue, there is hardly any research that comprehensively considers the learning-effect and return-policy. Therefore, this research aimed to develop an imperfect production dual-channel supply chain model consisting of a supplier, a manufacturer, and a retailer. The manufacturer also has a refurbishment unit adjacent to its production hub, where it reworks all the defectives. The main objective is to maximize the supply chain profit by considering factors, such as inspection error, return policy, and learning-effect of the employees. Finally, this model is analyzed with the Leader-follower relationship strategy and an integrated approach. The research found that the integrated approach is profitable for the entire supply chain, while commodity prices can be minimized. Sensitivity analysis is also presented in this study.
A MILP Model for Water Level Sensor Placement with Multi-Sensor and Multi-Disaster Areas
Authors: Opit Prudensy F , Kairupan Indah Yessi , Rusuh Fribianty M
Published: October 2021

A water level sensor is critical to measure water levels at strategic points in the river.  The sensor location directly impacts the quality of the collected data sent to the flood early warning system. To prevent and minimize the risk of flooding, it is crucial to determine the optimal locations for water level sensor placement. This research proposes a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model for water level sensor placement considering multi-sensor and multi-disaster areas. In addition, this model was applied in a case study in Tikala River, Manado, Indonesia.  The results indicated that all disaster areas could be covered by at least one single sensor. A sensitivity analysis was performed by running the model under several different budget scenarios.  When the budget increases, the number of sensors and the coverage performance are getting larger. Thus, the proposed MILP model was able to determine the optimal locations for sensor placement under a limited budget.

Authors: Amallynda Ikhlasul , Hutama Bhisma
Published: October 2021

This article examined the flow shop scheduling problem by considering the travel time between machines. The objective function of this problem was to provide a makespan. The Moth Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm was proposed to solve the flow shop problem. The MFO experiment was carried out with a combination of iteration parameters and the population of the MFO algorithm to solve the flow shop scheduling problem. The computational results showed that MFO could produce a better solution than the actual scheduling method. Furthermore, the MFO Proposal Algorithm was able to reduce the makespan by up to 3%.

Authors: Untoro Octa , Fahma Fakhrina , Sutopo Wahyudi
Published: October 2021

There are some unpredicted factors in floating solar power plants that can affect the investment return value. This research aimed to develop an NPV-at-risk based risk management analysis on the floating solar power plant. This research proposed six-staged solutions: communication and consultation, context assignment, risk identification, risk analysis, risk evaluation, and risk mitigation. This study took place in a floating solar power plant in Indonesia. This research showed that some unpredicted risks, such as irradiation, operation and maintenance costs, inflation, and interest rate, could contribute to the investment return. This procedural proposal could be applied in the management of the income realization based on the income projection.
Early warning indicators: An empirical investigation in Italian context and first implications for corporate governance
Authors: Casciello Raffaela
Published: October 2021

The aim of this paper is to map the exposure to the risk of financial distress and insolvency of Italian companies during 2019 by monitoring the five early warning indicators defined by the National Council of Chartered Accountants and Accounting Experts (CNDCEC) and approved by the Italian Ministry of Economic Development, in accordance with the provisions of the “Crisis and Insolvency Code” (IC-Code). The methodology used to conduct these investigations consists of comparing the average value of each early warning indicator for companies belonging to a specific commodity-related sector to the threshold value established for each sector, in order to capture signs of potential financial distress. The results of the analysis show that Italian limited liability companies (LLC) and joint-stock companies (JSC) (listed and unlisted) in 2019 did not show particularly worrying signs of financial distress and insolvency. The results of the survey are relevant to national regulators, managers, investors, lenders and, more generally, market participants as they shed light on the type of commodity-related sectors in which economic and financial difficulties are more likely to occur. Moreover, the continuous monitoring process of the early warning indicators’ average values can provide valuable support to the CNDCEC to verify whether and how to modify/refine their thresholds, thus improving their ability to report foreseeable states of financial distress

Dog Bites and Gastrointestinal Disorders: Our Everyday Bodies in Teaching Anthropology and Fieldwork Preparation
Authors: Sheild Johansson Miranda , Montesi Laura
Published: October 2021

What are the physical experiences of fieldwork really like? This article invites anthropologists engaged in teaching to transform the way research methods are currently taught to include frank and thoughtful conversations on how bodies, in their mundane physicality, are implicated in fieldwork. While the (mindful) body that actively and purposefully engages with the reality under investigation has gained centrality in anthropological discussions about “being there”, the body that things happen to has been ignored or marginalised. We contend that an exploration of the body that falls ill, feels uncomfortable, or simply does not match with an idealised image of the skilled and productive fieldworker (often male and able-bodied) has practical, pedagogical, political, and analytical merits. By recounting some of our own private anecdotes of challenges encountered in fieldwork, we emphasise the centrality of our physical experiences to our ethnographic approach. Discussing the glamourless, bodily aspects of fieldwork is crucial to preparing ourselves and our students for fieldwork, to combating ableism in anthropology, and to downplaying anxiety over narrow standard goals of “good” fieldwork. We also argue that theoretical considerations of the messy and unpleasant physical experiences that fieldwork involves can bring further insight into how research is (un)done.
Digital Storytelling as Pedagogy in Linguistic Anthropology
Authors: Chandras Jessica
Published: October 2021

This article explores teaching linguistic anthropology through digital storytelling as a pedagogical foundation. In a course titled Language, Power, and Social Identity offered remotely in the fall of 2020 at Kenyon College in Ohio, storytelling practices provided a way to explore connections between language and identities among a diverse group of twelve students. Using storytelling throughout the semester in multiple ways, activities and assignments culminated in a final class project of a digital storytelling video. Integrating digital storytelling as pedagogy suggests there is potential to generate greater understanding of experiences of identity formation through creative and inclusive learning practices.
Critical hypersurfaces and instability for reconstruction of scenes in high dimensional projective spaces
Authors: Marina Bertolini , Luca Magri
Published: October 2021

In the context of multiple view geometry, images of static scenes are modeled as linear projections from a projective space ℙ3 to a projective plane ℙ2 and, similarly, videos or images of suitable dynamic or segmented scenes can be modeled as linear projections from ℙk to ℙh, with k > h ≥ 2. In those settings, the projective reconstruction of a scene consists in recovering the position of the projected objects and the projections themselves from their images, after identifying many enough correspondences between the images. A critical locus for the reconstruction problem is a configuration of points and of centers of projections, in the ambient space, where the reconstruction of a scene fails. Critical loci turn out to be suitable algebraic varieties. In this paper we investigate those critical loci which are hypersurfaces in high dimension complex projective spaces, and we determine their equations. Moreover, to give evidence of some practical implications of the existence of these critical loci, we perform a simulated experiment to test the instability phenomena for the reconstruction of a scene, near a critical hypersurface.
The feminist avant-garde and feminaissance in american poetry and the visual arts
Authors: Djuric Dubravka
Published: October 2021

In this article, I will discuss the appearance and meaning of the terms
feminist avant/garde and feminaissance. I will point to the differences in
the mediums of these two fields of cultural production (verbal art and
visual art). I am interested in the way these terms help us to construe
histories but also impact the contemporary production of radical feminist
practices. The notion of the feminist avant-garde was introduced by the
American critic Elizabeth A. Frost in 2003 in order to point to the feminist
avant-garde poetry tradition. In 2016, the curator Gabrielle Schor
introduced the same term, using it for the international exhibition of
performance artists from the 1970s. In both fields, the term avant-garde had
been used to refer to male artistic and poetry practices. By applying it to
radical women?s poetry and performance practices, these practices became
visible, valued and recognizable. Feminaissance was introduced in the US in
2007 and referred to the several exhibitions dedicated to female art. The
term expressed the optimistic re-actualization of female art, but at the
same time, it provoked polemics regarding the contemporary construction of
feminist art history. In the field of experimental poetry, feminaissance was
used with the same meaning in 2007, at a conference dedicated to feminist
experimentation. Within the visual arts, the term feminaissance foregrounded
the problematics of the historization of female art, while in experimental
poetry this discussion took place around the feminist positions of
essentialism and anti-essentialism.
Feminist studies of periodicals: From heuristics to interpretation and evaluation
Authors: Milinkovic Jelena
Published: October 2021

This paper analyzes the way in which women's interpretive communities are
formed and the methodology of production of (feminist) knowledge. The
analysis connects the results of contemporary studies of feminist
periodicals/feminist studies of periodicals, and the project Srpkinja
(Serbian woman) from 1913. The interpretation of the book Srpkinja starts
from the assumption that it is a (serial) publication which contains
autopoetic statements and hypotheses about magazines. This is, probably, the
first case in the history of Serbian/Yugoslav periodicals of a serial
publication that (systematically) describes the basic categories which are
necessary for interpreting, creating and editing women/feminist periodicals.
In this paper Srpkinja is analyzed as the first carefully conceived project
based on the construction of women's networks, thanks to which one of the
first women's interpretive community was formed.
(Un)equal and defiant to patriarchy: The first female Serbian doctors Draga Ljocic Milosevic and Smilja Kostic-Joksic and their place in the society
Authors: Pantelic Ivana
Published: October 2021

This paper analyses professional biographies of the first female Serbian
doctor Draga Locic Milosevic (1855-1926) and Smilja Kostic-Joksic
(1895-1981), a female paediatrician and a professor at the Faculty of
Medicine in Belgrade. Although they did not belong to the same generation,
their biographies have so much in common. Similarities are obvious
especially considering their social status and political and intellectual
elite?s attitude towards first educated women. Draga Locic, the first woman
with diploma in medicine from Zurich University, was not able to find the
job in the state medical institutions after returning to Belgrade. Only
after being persistent and taking additional professional exams she managed
to get position but only as a medical assistant, with twice lower salary
than her male colleagues. She did not manage to achieve equal status until
the end of the professional career. Doctor Draga Locic was a philanthropist,
feminist and active suffragette. Her professional and educational heiress,
female paediatrician and scientist Smilja Kostic-Joksic, managed to become a
part of the intellectual elite but to a limited extend. Before the beginning
of World War II she had an assistant status and was a woman with the highest
academic status in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. In the socialist Yugoslavia
due to ideological disagreements, she was dismissed from the University.
These two biographies are evident examples how concept of public patriarchy
functions in practice. Public patriarchy is not conditioned with any
chronological nor ideological context but instead, it is always present and
dominant within the discourse of women?s position in the society.
Effect of titanium content on the microstructure and wear behavior of Fe(13-x)TixB7 (x=0-5) hardfacing alloy
Authors: Kılınç B. , Kocaman E. , Şen Ş. , Şen U.
Published: October 2021

In this study, the effects of titanium addition on microstructure, hardness, and wear rate of Fe(13-x)TixB7 (x = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 5) based hard surface alloy layers formed by gas tungsten arc (GTA) welding method were investigated. As a result of the microstructure studies and phase analysis, it was determined that the structures of the coating layers consisted of ?-Fe, ?Fe+Fe2B eutectic, ?-Fe+Fe2Ti eutectic and hard TiB2 phases. In the hard surface alloy layer, as the amount of titanium was increased, the TiB2 phase density formed in the system increased and it was observed that rod-like and long sharpedged phases formed from the equiaxed structure. As a result of wear tests performed at different loads, it was determined that the addition of titanium reduces the wear rates in the coating layers. In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the worn surfaces showed that the wear mechanisms were adhesive and oxidative.
The role of interleukin-4 and interleukin-5 Th2 cytokines in assessing severity and prognosis of acute pancreatitis
Authors: Doklestic Krstina , Ivancevic Nenad , Loncar Zlatibor , Micic Dusan , Ristic Milos , Jovanovic Bojan , Gregoric Pavle
Published: October 2021

Introduction/Objective. Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a relatively common disease which in most patients has favorable course. However, in approximately 20% patients, the course of the disease is more severe with high mortality (40?50%). The evaluation of disease severity is now primarily based on protocols that includes clinical, laboratory, and radiographic diagnostic procedures, APACHE II score, Ranson score, CT index, and CT necrosis score. Key cells in the immunopathogenesis of AP are T-lymphocytes, and recent studies indicate the role of Th2 and their effector cytokines: interleukin (IL) -4 and interleukin (IL) -5. The purpose of our study was to determine the potential clinical value of IL-4 and IL-5 as biochemical markers for predicting development of severe, necrotizing form of acute pancreatitis with systemic complication such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Methods. This prospective study included 240 patients hospitalized at The Clinic for Emergency Surgery of Clinical Center of Serbia as AP. Levels of IL-4 and IL-5 in serum were detected using commercial Bender Med Systems (BMS716FF) kits. Results. IL-4 and IL-5 were statistically significant increased on the second day of hospitalization with maximum values on the third day. In patients with severe AP complicated with necrosis and/or sepsis values were rising all through the seventh day. Conclusion. Levels of IL-4 and IL-5 in peripheral blood correlate with SIRS, Ranson score and clinical outcome in AP patients, therefore these cytokines are potential early biomarkers of disease progression and related complications.
Proton beam therapy
Authors: Popovic-Vukovic Marija , Bokun Jelena , Stanic Dragana , Nidzovic Borko , Nikitovic Marina
Published: October 2021

Proton beam therapy (PBT) is an advanced type of radiotherapy that shows a dosimetric advantage over photon beam therapy and provides superior dose distribution. PBT may improve patient survival by improving the local disease control while reducing toxicity to normal organs, which may result in fewer treatment-related complications. During the last decade, technological progress has opened up new possibilities in the planning and conducting of PBT, so indications have gradually expanded to different cancers. However, many biological aspects of PBT are still unclear, and its role in clinical settings is controversial. Proton therapy is considered to be safe and effective for different types of pediatric cancers, and suitable in treatment of ocular melanomas, chordomas, and chondrosarcomas. Future research and more prospective clinical studies with long-term follow-up are required in order to clearly determine the benefits and proper indications for PBT.
A rare case of spontaneous rupture of renal artery pseudoaneurysm in a previously hypertensive patient
Authors: Stevanovic Dejan , Mitrovic Nebojsa , Jasarovic Damir , Lazic Aleksandar , Lukic Branko
Published: October 2021

Introduction. The renal artery and segmental renal artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare and usually asymptomatic vascular lesion which in most of the cases thrombose spontaneously, but at same time it can be a source of life-threatening hemorrhage and shock. Today, these pseudoaneurysms are discovered with increasing frequency due to unrelated abdominal imaging or on screening work-ups for hypertension, as well as widespread use of angiography. Typically, they are seen in patients after trauma, inflammation, or renal surgery or biopsy. Case outline. In our case, a 52-year-old male patient with no prior history of surgery, significant abdominal trauma and systemic disease, presented with left flank pain and signs of hypovolemic shock that manifested before the admission to the surgical emergency room. The CT scan promptly demonstrated rupture of a large retroperitoneal hematoma with massive intraperitoneal hemorrhage. The angiography confirmed the rupture of the renal artery pseudoaneurysm. The patient underwent urgent operation. A life-saving nephrectomy was performed while intraperitoneal hemorrhage and retroperitoneal hematoma was evacuated. Fourteen days after surgery the patient was discharged fully recovered, with normal diuresis and serum levels of creatinine and urea within referential values. During the period of hospitalization, he was diagnosed with and treated for hypertension. Conclusion. Rupture of pseudoaneurysms followed by hemorrhage into the intraperitoneal cavity and retroperitoneum is a life-threatening condition, as proven with this case, in which hypovolemic shock manifested itself before the admission. We would like to highlight the importance of high blood pressure control and the importance of regular check-ups.
A novel method to fabricate porous single phase O’-sialon ceramic and improve its mechanical property
Authors: Ma Haiqiang , Bao Chonggao
Published: October 2021

Nowadays, the O?-sialon ceramics are synthesized by the reaction of Si3N4,
SiO2 and Al2O3. However, it is difficult to achieve the single phase
materials. Here, we have successfully developed porous single phase
O?-sialon ceramics by pre-oxidation combined with gas-pressure sintering
method. The effects of ?-Si3N4 powder on the microstructure, phase
evolution, mechanical property were investigated. The result illustrated
that the main crystal phase of the porous ceramics was composed of the
single O?-sialon phase. The pores were well distributed and generated from
the decomposition of Si2N2O. The elongated O?-sialon grains were found and
formed around pore walls. Additionally, the addition of ?-Si3N4 powder was
beneficial for improving the bending strength because of the reduction of
porosity and pore size. The porous O?-sialon ceramics with uniform pores
obtained the excellent bending strength when the ?-Si3N4 powder was 6 wt%.
Non-perturbative aspects of Sp(2N) gauge theories
Authors:   , Holligan Jack
Published: October 2021

Yang-Mills theories based on the symplectic groups – denoted by Sp(2N) – are inter-esting for both theoretical and phenomenological reasons. Sp(2N) theories with two fundamental Dirac fermions give rise to pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons which can be interpreted as a composite Higgs particle. This framework can describe the existing Higgs boson without the need for unnatural ﬁne-tuning. This justiﬁes a programme of wider investigations of Sp(2N) gauge theories aimed at understanding their general behaviour. In this work, we study the glueball mass spectrum for Sp(2N) Yang-Mills theories using the variational method applied to Monte-Carlo generated gauge conﬁg-urations. This is carried out both for ﬁnite N and in the limit N → ∞. The results are compared to existing results for SU(N) Yang-Mills theories, again, for ﬁnite- and large-N. Our glueball analysis is then used to investigate some conjectures related to the behaviour of the spectrum in Yang-Mills theories based on a generic non-Abeliangauge group G. We also ﬁnd numerical evidence that Sp(2N) groups conﬁne both for ﬁnite and large N. As well as studying the glueball spectrum, we examine the quenched-meson spectrum for fermions in the fundamental, antisymmetric and sym-metric representations for N = 2 and N = 3. This study enables us to provide a ﬁrst account of how the related observables vary with N. The investigations presented in this work contribute to our understanding of the non-perturbative dynamics of Sp(2N) gauge theories in connection with Higgs compositeness and, more in general, with fun-damental open problems in non-Abelian gauge theories such as conﬁnement and global symmetry breaking.
Genetic Diversity Assessment in Pea (Pisum sativum L.) using Microsatellite Markers
Authors:   Division of Crop Improvement, ICAR-Central Institute for Arid Horticulture, Bikaner, Rajasthan (334 006), India, Ram Hanuman
Published: October 2021

The present study was conducted on genetic diversity analyses among 24 pea genotypes during 2017–2018 to assess the molecular diversity of pea genotypes using SSR markers. Out of 62, eleven markers were found to be polymorphic and the polymorphic information content (PIC) of the simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers ranged from 0.19 to as high as 0.64. Molecular profiling of these genotypes using 11 SSRs distributed throughout the genome generated 32 alleles with a mean of 2.91 alleles per locus. The genetic dissimilarity based on simple matching coefficient for 24 genotypes ranged from 0.00 to 0.91 with an average of 0.52. Cluster analyses grouped 24 genotypes into two major clusters with one outlier and supported by principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) in which genotypes were distributed across four quadrangles. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed significant estimated value at degree of 1000 permutations. Percentage of variability was higher among individual (67%) than among populations (11%). Percentage of variability within individual was also higher (22%) than among populations (11%). Pop1 (I=0.707, He=0.446, and uHe=0.466) shows higher diversity than pop2 (I=0.630, He=0.381 and uHe=0.398). The percentage of polymorphic loci per population (PPL) ranged from 81.82% (pop2) to 90.91% (pop1) with an average of 86.36%. The present study demonstrates the utility of microsatellite markers for estimating molecular diversity as well as genotype identification in pea. This study also suggests a potential use of these markers in further association studies.

Pheochromocytomas are tumors that originate from the chromaffin tissue of the adrenal medulla and commonly produce catecholamines. The diagnosis is typically established by the measurement of catecholamines or their metabolites in urine or plasma and tumors are localized with the use of radiographic and scintigraphic studies. Pheochromocytomas can occur in asymptomatic patients and the preferred treatment is surgical removal of the tumor. These chromaffin tissue tumors are not uncommon in anesthetic practice and have varied manifestations. The perioperative management of these tumors has improved remarkably over the yearsin conjunction with the evolution of surgical techniques (laparotomy to laparoscopic techniques and now to robotic approaches.). Majority of the patients present with normal clinical and biochemical parameters in the preoperative period, the incidence of hypertension being only 50 %. Even though patients may be clinically asymptomatic, surveillance and proper preoperative evaluation is important, as surgery for associated tumors may precipitate a hypertensive crisis and result in severe complications. We report an intraoperative anesthetic management of 32-year-old female with a left adrenal mass (pheochromocytoma) and left ovarian cyst. Throughout her entire course of treatment she was asymptomatic with normal blood pressure readings. Her biochemical screening was unremarkable. She underwent open surgical resection of the adrenal mass with confirmation of pheochromocytoma on histology. Pheochromocytoma represents very significant challenges to the anesthesiologist’s especially when undiagnosed. This case illustrates how paucity of literature on perioperative preparation of clinically and biochemically silent Pheochromocytomas led to serious intraoperative complications even in an asymptomatic, biochemically negative patient.

Cultural Heritage and Responsibility: Linking Narratives of the Past to Perspectives of the Future
Authors: Sylla Cornelia
Published: October 2021

This paper aims at identifying factors behind the-making-of cultural heritage reproduced within educational settings by trying to answer the following question: How do young people link narratives of the past with their own cultural identities and perspectives on the future? Observations made at conferences by two different non-formal educational organisations in the same region in Germany form the data for this analysis. Both conferences were structurally similar but very different in their perspectives on Germany’s role in global history and on young people’s responsibilities to create a future worth living in. Since both organisations are concerned with political education and target a similar group of young people from similar economic and educational backgrounds, these differences seem especially significant for thinking about discursive practices in educational settings. Building on the understanding that heritage is a discursive practice in a field of power relations, the paper provides insights into the links between certain images of the past, which are recreated in very specific ways in different educational settings, and the cultural practices young people produce within their local contexts.
