Sirt4 Modulates Oxidative Metabolism and Sensitivity to Rapamycin Through Species-Dependent Phenotypes in Drosophila mtDNA Haplotypes
Authors: Sejour Richard , Sanguino Roger A , Mikolajczak Monika , Ahmadi Walishah , Villa-Cuesta Eugenia
Published: March 2020

The endosymbiotic theory proposes that eukaryotes evolved from the symbiotic relationship between anaerobic (host) and aerobic prokaryotes. Through iterative genetic transfers, the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes coevolved, establishing the mitochondria as the hub of oxidative metabolism. To study this coevolution, we disrupt mitochondrial-nuclear epistatic interactions by using strains that have mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear DNA (nDNA) from evolutionarily divergent species. We undertake a multifaceted approach generating introgressed Drosophila strains containing D. simulans mtDNA and D. melanogaster nDNA with Sirtuin 4 (Sirt4)-knockouts. Sirt4 is a nuclear-encoded enzyme that functions, exclusively within the mitochondria, as a master regulator of oxidative metabolism. We exposed flies to the drug rapamycin in order to eliminate TOR signaling, thereby compromising the cytoplasmic crosstalk between the mitochondria and nucleus. Our results indicate that D. simulans and D. melanogaster mtDNA haplotypes display opposite Sirt4-mediated phenotypes in the regulation of whole-fly oxygen consumption. Moreover, our data reflect that the deletion of Sirt4 rescued the metabolic response to rapamycin among the introgressed strains. We propose that Sirt4 is a suitable candidate for studying the properties of mitochondrial-nuclear epistasis in modulating mitochondrial metabolism.

Lymphocystis virus has been implicated as the cause of severe infection, mortality, and economic loss in farmed giant snakehead (Channa striata) or gabus fish in Mandiangin South Kalimantan. In Kalimantan, the fish is locally known as Haruan fish and considered to have health-related benefits to human due to its high albumin content. This study aimed to determine the LCDV in gabus fish through histopathological and PCR investigation. Infected LCDV fish have a cluster of warts growths in the skin or fin of a walleye. Infected fishes with an average of total length of 15 cm and weight of 150 g were collected from local net cages and earthen ponds. They were transferred into a laboratory, anesthetized, and then subsequently killed by organ dissection. The infected fish tumors were aseptically cut out for histological study and PCR detection. Primer used was forward GII F: 5 ‘TGG GAT TCC AAY GGT CAA TTA-3’ with target band of 468 bp (for genotype-IIi LCDV) and primer reverse R: 5’TTA GAT TAT TGG GCA GCG TT-3' with target band of 250 bp (for genotype-II LCDV) and GIII F: 5' AGG AAA TAA CCG CAG TA GAA TGCA. Lymphocytosis in infected fish showed multifocal to diffuse white, round, firm, papilloma or tumor-like nodules on the skin of the body, fins, eyes, and mouth. The hypertrophied cell was surrounded by a thick smooth hyaline capsule. Stress condition caused by high population density, nutrition deficiencies, decreased dissolved oxygen, suboptimal water quality, and handling may increase the appearance of LCDV symptoms. The result of the present study revealed that histopathology and PCR could be used to diagnose LCDV infection.
EFEKTIVITAS SALINITAS AIR DALAM MENINGKATKAN SINTASAN BELUT MONOPTERUS ALBUS DAN PENGARUHNYA TERHADAP PROFITABILITAS PENJUALAN BELUT HIDUP
Authors: Diatin Iis , Hadiroseyani Yani , Astuti Danfi
Published: March 2020

Belut (Monopterus albus) merupakan ikan air tawar konsumsi hasil tangkapan dari perairan umum yang dijual dalam keadaan hidup dengan harga tinggi dan permintaan yang terus meningkat. Aktivitas penangkapan, transportasi, dan penampungan menimbulkan kematian yang cukup banyak sehingga mengurangi stok dan nilai penerimaan penjualan belut. Penanganan belut pasca-penangkapan dalam air salin dapat menekan tingkat kematian belut, namun dampaknya terhadap keuntungan bisnis belum diketahui. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi penampungan dalam air salin terhadap sintasan dan keuntungan usaha penjualan belut hidup. Penelitian dilakukan pada pedagang besar belut hidup di Jawa Tengah yang memperoleh pasokan belut dari berbagai lokasi di Jawa. Belut uji yang diperoleh dari tiga lokasi yaitu Ciamis, Jawa Barat; Cilacap, Jawa Tengah; dan Lumajang, Jawa Timur; masing-masing ditampung terpisah dan dipelihara selama enam hari dalam air tawar (salinitas 0 g/L) dan air tawar yang ditambah garam krosok pada konsentrasi 6 g/L. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa penampungan selama seminggu dalam salinitas 6 g/L menghasilkan tingkat sintasan belut 1,6 kali dibandingkan dengan penampungan dalam air tawar pada semua lokasi asal belut. Sintasan yang lebih tinggi tersebut meningkatkan nilai penerimaan dan keuntungan usaha.Asian swamp eel (Monopterus albus) is a highly-priced freshwater fish collected from natural waters and sold alive in the market with an ever-increasing demand. Fishing methods, transportation, and holding of live eels before being sold frequently result in significant mortality, which eventually reduces the sales revenue from the business. However, post-capture handling of the eel using saline water could reduce the mortality rate, but the impact on business profits has never been determined. This study was aimed to determine the effects of water salinity on the survival of the eels during the holding period and calculate the profit gain from live eel sales. The research was carried out in the facility of a wholesaler of live Asian swamp eel in Central Java which received eel supply from various locations in Java. The samples of eels were originated from three locations, namely Ciamis, West Java; Cilacap, Central Java; and Lumajang, East Java. The eels were placed in separate containers filled with: fresh water (salinity 0 g/L) and freshwater added with salt at concentration 6 g/L for six days. The results showed that six days holding period in salinity of 6 g/L resulted in a higher survival rate of the eels up to 1.6 times compared to the freshwater. This higher survival has increased the revenues and profitability of the live eels sales.

Published: March 2020

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi pengaruh penambahan vitamin C dan E dalam pakan terhadap performansi pertumbuhan dan reproduksi udang windu fase prematurasi. Dua pakan uji dengan perlakuan: penambahan vitamin C (mengandung ascorbic acid 406,1 mg/kg) dan vitamin E (mengandung 286,3 mg/kg) (PS), dan tanpa penambahan vitamin C dan E (PK). Hewan uji yang digunakan adalah udang windu fase prematurasi hasil budidaya berbobot awal 43,1±5,1 g untuk betina dan 41,9±4,4 g untuk jantan, dipelihara dalam 2 petak tambak beton berukuran 1000 m2 dengan kepadatan awal 100 ekor/tambak dan rasio udang jantan : betina adalah 4 : 6. Udang tersebut diberi pakan uji sebanyak 3% dari biomassa per hari selama 3 bulan di tambak. Selanjutnya udang dipindahkan ke bak pematangan gonad untuk mengevaluasi kinerja reproduksinya. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa,laju pertumbuhan spesifik, total hemosit, jumlah sel sperma, gonada somatic indeks, dan hepatosomatic indeks cenderung lebih tinggi pada udang yang diberi pakan uji PS dibandingkan yang diberi pakan PK. Udang yang diberi pakan uji PS juga memiliki fekunditas, diameter telur, daya tetas telur, dan produksi nauplii yang cenderung lebih tinggi, meskipun secara statistik tidak berbeda nyata (P>0,05) di antara kedua perlakuan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan penambahan vitamin C dan E dalam pakan cenderung meningkatkan performansi pertumbuhan dan reproduksi udang windu. This experiment was aimed to evaluate the effects of feed supplemented with vitamin C and E on the growth and reproductive performances of prematurated tiger shrimp. Two test diets were formulated as the treatments: diet with the addition of vitamin C (contain ascorbic acid of 406.1 mg/kg diet) and vitamin E (contain 286.3 mg/kg diet) (PS), and a diet without the addition of vitamin C and E (PK). The test shrimp were prematurated tiger shrimp with an average initial weight of 43.1 ± 5.1 g/ind. for females and 41.9 ± 4.4 g/ind. for males. The tiger shrimp were cultured in two of 1,000 m2 concrete ponds with a density of 100 ind./pond, and the ratio of male : female was 4 : 6. The shrimp were fed with the experimental diets at a rate of 3% of body weight/day for three months. The shrimp were then transferred to concrete tanks for reproductive evaluation. The results showed that the specific growth rates, total hemocytes, number of sperm cells, gonado-somatic index, and hepatosomatic index tended to be higher in the shrimp fed with the PS test diet compared to the shrimp fed with the PK test diet. The shrimp fed with the PS test diet had higher egg fecundity, egg diameter, hatching rate, and nauplii production compared to the shrimp fed with the PK test diet. However, the study found no significant difference (P>0.05) between the two treatments. The addition of vitamins C and E in the diet could improve the growth and reproductive performance of tiger shrimp.

Binswanger's Existential Analysis and Dasein Analysis M. Boss: to the History of Formation of the Existential Approach in Psychology
Authors: Kutsenko Nadezhda
Published: March 2020

The article is of an overview nature and aims at a preliminary analysis of the origins of the existential tradition in psychology. The author considers the existential analysis of L. Binswanger and the Dasein analysis of M. Boss as concepts that have arisen in contrast to the natural science paradigm in psychology, in particular, psychoanalysis. It shows that the existential approach in psychology arises as an attempt to form a new view of man in science, based on philosophical traditions: the phenomenology of E. Husserl and the fundamental ontology of M. Heidegger. At the same time, Binswanger’s teaching is defined as an anthropological type of scientific research aimed at studying the essence of human existence; the doctrine of M. Boss — as an ontological concept in psychology. Particular attention is paid to the issue of implementing the principles of the teachings under consideration in work of existentially oriented psychotherapists and counseling psychologists. The article shows that the basis of the both concepts is the phenomenological method.
Dynamics of the Industry 4.0 and Its Consequences for Man and Economy. New Grounds for Assembling the Society
Authors: Anokhov Igor
Published: March 2020

At present the Industry 4.0 is the most probable vector of industrial development which can principally change the role and place of man in physical economy. In our view, its resulting consequence will be a fundamental change of human psychology and public relations. The aim of the article is an analysis of the internal reasons of the Industry 4.0 unwinding and forecasting the state of society and man which can take place in the mature phase of this future industrial reality. The author brings forth a hypothesis that establishment of the Industry 4.0 will result in driving out man from the industry with delivering to the cyber-physical systems first the mechanical functions and then the communicational, economic and technological ones. In the final count, man will retain only two types of functions — the project-oriented and the worldview ones, the access to which on part of the cyber-physical systems seems rather unlikely. The completion of this process results in vanishing the forces that support the integrity and unity of today’s society. Preservation of the civilization will require a new social foundation, which, in our view, will be established by an increased interdependence od individuals: creation of colossal amounts of information pressed into multi-layered images and operating them will be possible to perform alone. It is only within the power for an intellectual network made of individual consciousnesses united on the integral ethical platform.
DO EFL TEACHING AND MONITORING PRACTICES MATCH THE CURRICULAR PRINCIPLES? INSIGHTS INTO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ELT CURRICULUM IN THE 2ND GRADES
Authors: GÜNGÖR Müzeyyen Nazlı , FİŞNE Fatıma Nur
Published: March 2020

The implementation of macro-level language education
policies in the field of teaching English to young learners (TEYL) plays a
decisive role in designing and administering micro-level instructional
practices. Bearing this in mind, the present study aims to describe English as
a foreign language (EFL) teaching and monitoring practices in the 2nd
grade, which is the starting level for English learning at state primary
schools in Turkey. Following that, it attempts to display the match between EFL
practices and the English language teaching (ELT) curriculum. To achieve these
aims, qualitative data were collected from 13 EFL teachers through open-ended
written surveys. Overall, the findings point out that the 2nd grade
TEYL practices largely reflect the curricular underpinnings in terms of
teaching and monitoring methodology, language skills and materials; however,
there are slight mismatches in some issues such as teaching literacy skills,
error correction and the implementation of projects. In line with these
findings, this research elaborates on the importance of TEYL course content and
principles in pre-service language teacher education. Also, it draws attention
to teacher training on language assessment within the framework of continuing
professional development.

In this study, it is aimed to design an analogy-oriented activity to be used in teaching the concept of keystone species to students. The study was carried out with 25 gifted and talented students aged between 10 and 14 who were registered to the Science and Art Centers around in Turkey ( Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Antalya, Mugla, Manisa, Balıkesir, Kayseri). This research was intended for these students to associate the concept of keystone species in environmental education using creative thinking skills with the help of a model. The study can be described as a special case study aiming to produce conclusions about a situation. With the designed activity, it was also aimed to contribute to the learning of the concept of keystone species in a meaningful fashion through carrying out analogy work with the keystone in architectural structures. The results of the activity were evaluated with open-ended questions that the students answered to. It was observed that the students could explain the concept of keystone species by associating it with the keystone used in architecture in line with the definition of the concept. Considering the results of this study, it can be said that gifted and talented students generated an analogy for the keystone species. The designed activity was evaluated at the end of the study in environmental education courses in terms of its applicability. It was found that the developed activity was applicable as it enabled the active participation of the students.
Between good and evil: linguistic explication of the ambivalence of the universe in O. Dovhiy's poetry
Authors: Strokal Oleksandr
Published: March 2020

The peculiarities of the linguistic expression of contrast reception in Oleksii Dovhiy's poetry are analyzed in the article. The author deals with such theoretical issues as а poetic text and the reception of contrast in poetry. Аnalyzing the role of evaluation in а poetic text, the author emphasizes the importance of its functions in verse language and human consciousness as a means of structuring cognizable reality. In the process of researching these problems, the author finds that in O. Dovhiy's poetic language, there are units that name both positive and negative realities within the same context, reflecting the artist's view of a particular organization of the world and the universe. Analyzing language units used by the poet to denote the phenomena of nature, elements of landscape and their attributes, we have noticed that in some cases such language units are used by the artist to reflect life challenges that influence the existential choice of a lyrical hero. Depicting the inner world of a lyrical hero, Oleksii Dovhiy uses a number of linguistic constructions that help the artist to emphasize the importance and the decisive role in such a choice of the inner willpower effort-decision of his hero. The analysis made it possible to distinguish among others a number of linguistic units that, when used in one or another context, create the same images with different axiological semantics. Such peculiarities of contextual use of the respective lexemes made it possible to form a separate group of nominations of contrasting images. The researcher has found out that one of Oleksii Dovhiy's brightest ambivalent images is the image of a word. In one case, this image is understood by the lyric hero as a word that has no weight and a weighty word. In the other case we have an emphasis on such a characteristic as the power of a word, its healing properties. Alongside the image of a word, a series of verbalizers is presented in the artist's poetry to denote the image of fire as a creative and at the same time destructive beginning. Stylistic analysis of the features of contextual functioning of lexemes for the designation of environmental phenomena has revealed a number of language units with stereotypically negative semantics, which in the literary context acquire a neutral or a positively marked tonality. It is proved that in Oleksii Dovhiy's poetry the aforementioned linguostylistic feature is unique
A phraseologism-heading as a manipulative dominant of a mediatext
Authors: Syzonov Dmytro
Published: March 2020

The article deals with different types of headings with a phraseological component, which is motivated by the manipulative function of media. Thus, journalists resort to manipulation in media when they want to: (a) obscure factual information; (b) affect the mass consciousness of the Ukrainians; (c) focus on key positions of a media text. A phraseologism (as a certain verbal code of mass communication that is characterized by semantic indivisibility, integrity, emotionality and expressiveness) is used primarily to attract the attention of the recipient and to accentuate the main positions of a media text. The role of a phraseologism in the heading of a media text is very high: it is able to succinctly convey the meaning of the main text, motivate the recipient to perceive the material, be apt in the role of media nomination of the phenomenon described. In the context of information competitiveness, the chosen phraseologism-heading helps the media text to be noticed and read by the potential recipient. An attempt is made to classify phraseologisms-headings as the dominant of modern media texts by several criteria (structure, functions and genre affiliation). Such classification was made possible by the broad illustrative material: Ukrainian printed and electronic media, radio and television, advertising, the Internet (2019 – early 2020). Emphasis is made on the correction of the proposed classification due to the expansion of information space and the emergence of new genres with headings of new types. It is proved that a phraseologism-heading in media is used for: attracting the attention of the recipient, focusing on key information, clarifying on some facts, activating the background knowledge of the recipient, pre-comprehension and understanding the text, influencing the mass consciousness. The key goal of a phraseologism-heading remains manipulation. A phraseologism-heading is increasingly used by journalists in modern media communication.
Ethics of ideals and "prose of life" in Panteleimon Kulish's epistolary
Authors: Shevchenko Larysa
Published: March 2020

The article from a series of publications about the prominent Ukrainian writer, publisher, translator and author of Ukrainian spelling, the so-called "kulishivka", is dedicated to the analysis of the author's worldview constants reflected in his epistolary. The ethical maxims and moral principles of Panteleimon Kulish are considered as the unity of the ideal, inspired by creative, romantic views of the author and real life. P. Kulish's appeals are analyzed from the point of view of his motivation for dominant evaluations of events, circumstances and characteristics of the addressees, such as attitude towards work, people, culture, language, history, etc. Particular attention is paid to the influence of M. Gogol on P. Kulish due to the fact that P. Kulish was the author’s commentator, archiver of texts and memoirs as well as publisher. The letters give an opportunity to chronologize and explain P. Kulish's meetings with M. Gogol's family, an assessment of M. Gogol's creativity by his contemporaries, to find out the peculiarities of work on M. Gogol's texts and the memories of his confederates and P. Kulish’s friends. The analysis of the epistolary introduces P. Kulish’s seek for spiritual truths, comparisons and parallels with M. Gogol's reflections and creative sources, in particular during his visit to Danilov Monastery and to the writer's tomb. P. Kulish's intellectual reflection in epistolary texts reveals a complex of ethical problems around which the author always focuses, substantiating the complexity of views on the issues of "ideal" – "profane", "people" – "service to people", "gospel truths" – "the world of real people", "the commensurability of the gospel word" – "living spiritualized nature " etc. A wide range of P. Kulish addressees is analyzed, which allows us to observe the panorama of the cultural life of the Ukrainian intelligentsia in the mid-19th century, testing in the environment of cultural and public figures of traditional ethical views and formation of new ideas about language, culture and national revival. P. Kulish's general characterization of moral principles is correlated with his appeals to authoritative figures, iconic events and partial manifestation in epistolary texts, in particular the features of requests to addressees. The author concludes that P. Kulish’s personality was complex and ambiguous. At the same time, the writer was a tireless worker who combined high ethical ideals with the moral principles of creative life – the service of the word.
Niektóre uwarunkowania aktywności edukacyjnej dorosłych
Authors: Tomiło Janusz Piotr
Published: March 2020

Obserwowany od lat niski wskaźnik aktywności edukacyjnej dorosłych skłania do podjęcia refleksji nad przyczynami tego zjawiska – postawienia diagnozy, która mogłaby stać się kanwą działań zmierzających do likwidacji tych przyczyn. W artykule skoncentrowano się na próbie ukazania uwarunkowań aktywności edukacyjnej dorosłych. Uznano, że znaczącą rolę odgrywają tu dwa rodzaje czynników: (1) związane z poczuciem bezpieczeństwa: osobistego, pracy czy edukacyjnego oraz (2) związane z kapitałem kulturowym jednostki. Poczucie bezpieczeństwa identyfikowane jest przez pryzmat stanu środowiska bezpieczeństwa, statusu i sytuacji społecznej oraz kompetencji jednostki i poczucia kontroli na własnym życiem i losem, a także osobowości dorosłego. Stan środowiska bezpieczeństwa został ukazany w perspektywie społecznej poprzez powiększającą się strefę ubóstwa, rozwarstwienie i polaryzację społeczną, marginalizację i wykluczenie społeczne oraz dyskryminacyjne formy zatrudnienia, naruszające prawa pracownicze i malejący przyrost naturalny, zmuszający pracowników do przedłużania okresu zatrudnienia, szczególnie w sytuacji coraz większej niewydolności systemu zabezpieczeń społecznych. Zaproponowano spojrzenie na aktywność edukacyjną dorosłych przez pryzmat dominacji potrzeb rynku pracy, ale także wydłużającego się życia Polek i Polaków. Natomiast znaczenie kapitału kulturowego przejawia się w stratyfikacji społecznej: w społeczeństwach postkomunistycznych nabywanie kapitału kulturowego jest bowiem postrzegane jako droga do awansu społecznego, ponieważ o stratyfikacji społecznej nie decyduje zarówno odziedziczony kapitał ucieleśniony (inkorporowany), jak i uprzedmiotowiony (zobiektywizowany). W tej sytuacji największe znaczenie ma kapitał zinstytucjonalizowany, głównie w postaci sformalizowanego wykształcenia, potwierdzonego dyplomami uczelni. Ukształtowana w PRL ścieżka awansu, osadzona w wykształceniu, opierała się na antynomii: praca fizyczna versus praca umysłowa, z których to ta druga nobilitowała. Zdobycie wykształcenia, najlepiej wyższego, było substytutem nobilitacji opartej na tzw. starych pieniądzach czy budowanej przez pokolenia pozycji zawodowej.

Published: March 2020

Background: Pancreatic injuries are usually subtle to identify by different diagnostic imaging modalities and these injuries are often overlooked in cases with extensive multi-organ trauma. Our study was conducted to evaluate the outcome of a step-up approach in the management of pancreatic trauma patients with late presentation.Methods: The study included 15 patients who presented with grade III AAST delayed presentation of pancreatic trauma from September 2017 to 2019. In our step-up approach 2 staged procedure was done, firstly laparotomy with necrosectomy along with closure of proximal pancreatic duct with external drainage of pancreatic duct, in second stage Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy was done to drain the remnant pancreas as a definitive procedure 3 to 6 months after initial procedure.Results: In our study, blunt trauma abdomen (83.30%) (n=10) was the most common mode of injury. The main reason for delay in diagnosis of pancreatic trauma was delayed presentation of patient (83.3%) (n=10). Total of 4 patients were admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) at the time of admission. 10 patients underwent both the stages of step up approach management among which one patient had pancreatic fistula as a complication (n=1) (10%) and one patient had post-operative abscess as a complication (n=1) (10%). No mortality was noted in our study.Conclusions: The step-up approach discussed above proves to be beneficial towards management of patients with delayed presentation of pancreatic trauma in our setting.
Effectiveness of combined magnetic field bone growth stimulation on lumbar spinal fusion outcomes: a single center retrospective analysis comparing combined magnetic field to no-stimulation
Authors: Raiszadeh Ramin , Raiszadeh Kamshad , Eaton Laura , Kim Paul , Kim Choll
Published: March 2020

Background: The objective of this retrospective study was to assess the effect of combined magnetic field (CMF) bone growth stimulation on lumbar fusion outcomes, as compared to no-stimulation.

Methods: This study reviewed fusion efficacy of a consecutive cohort of 652 patients who underwent lumbar fusion surgery at our institution between 2001 and 2018.  Fusion status was determined via radiographic analysis, with four surgeons contributing data to this study. The minimum patient follow-up time was 6 months. Previously identified risk factors (i.e. smoking status) were also collected. Statistical analysis was performed using cross-tabulation tests with chi-square analyses, one-way ANOVA’s, and Tukey’s range tests. 53% (343/652) of patients had undergone adjuvant treatment with CMF stimulation.

Results: Patients treated with CMF stimulation had significantly greater fusion success of 97% compared to no stimulation at 62% (p<0.00001). Further, it was observed that smokers had a significantly higher fusion rate with CMF treatment than without electrical stimulation (94% vs 61%, p=0.000032).

Conclusions: Additional studies to evaluate the effectiveness of CMF treatment in patients with risk factors are warranted.

Emerging of cloud computing with flexibility, improve accessing data, and cost-saving makes this technology accessible and growing fast. As a result of the emergence of cloud computing bring interest to industries to used cloud computing. Although cloud computing brings so many benefits to customers, the previous study reveals that cloud computing penetration in the Healthcare area is still low. With effective cloud risk assessment methodology will gain the confidence to cloud users in this technology. Study in cloud risk assessment methodology still infant and the complexity in identifying security risk still debating. This paper explores the risk assessment process by highlighting the method in the risk evaluation process. Risk evaluation is an essential phase in the risk assessment process. It compares the result from the risk analysis process and determines whether to accept or tolerate the risk criteria to decide on the risk analysis. In this study, the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) is introduced to compare risk analysis results in the earlier phase. Since risk evaluation based on organizational objectives, external and internal context and stakeholders' views, NGT is promising for effective results. This study not only contributing to the prioritizing list of risks and threats in a systematical manner but indirectly NGT process makes stakeholders aware of the current cloud security risk situation in the organization. Equal opportunity expressing views in this focus group discussion is hope can generate a brilliant solution in risk assessment results.

Authors: Fauzan Muhammad Edgar , Damayanti Astrid , Saraswati Ratna
Published: March 2020

Landslide is challenging to detect and predict. Settlements are not always located on ideal land according to designated areas, such as settlements in a landslide area. Ci Manuk Upstream watershed, Garut District, West Java Province, has critical land due to human intervention. The environment is more sensitive to the components in the environmental system, so when it rains, landslide disasters are prone to happen. This study aims to predict and analyze the vulnerability settlement of landslide in Ci Manuk Upstream watershed, Garut District, West Java Province. The research method is done gradually, beginning with using Stability Index Mapping (SINMAP) method to generate a landslide potential area, then using a spatial analysis method to determine the landslide-prone area and finally assessing the vulnerability of the settlements in the landslide area. The results show that 43.88% of the total area is a potential landslide area, then 19.04% is a high landslide-prone area, and 30.80% is the vulnerability of the settlement areas in the high landslide area. This study also shows that the landslide potential area is dominant at slope >25%, dystrudept soil type, and rainfall rate of >3500 mm/year. The landslide-prone settlement areas tend to be in the landslide zone of SINMAP modeling, and vulnerable settlements have tended to be south of the watershed because of the low quality of buildings and high population densities.

The second fundamental source of law for Moslems is the Hadith. The Hadith can be used to explain Quranic texts.  However, Hadith still needs to be translated according to each national language to easily understand its meaning [1]. In Indonesia Hadith more usually refers to a special class of relevance to more particular religious concern [1]. Base on that, this research will Classify the translation Hadith Text into three classes: Obligation, Prohibition, and Information. From previous research, the Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) showed good performance in classifying hadith text. Therefore, BPNN was used to solve the problem of hadith text classification in this study. However, the dataset has a huge number of varied bag-of-words, which are features that will be used in the classification process. Hence, Information Gain (IG) was utilized to select influential features, and as the sequential process before the classification process. To measure the performance of this system, the Macro F1-Score was used. The F1-Score enables one to observe exactness from precision and completeness from recall. The Macro F1-score is also needed for the performance evaluation of more than two classes.  Based on the experiment conducted, the system was able to classify hadith text using BPNN, IG, and without stemming, yielding the highest F1-score of 84.63%. However, the system performance that included the stemming process yielded an F1-score of 80.92%. This shows that the stemming process could decrease classification performance. This decreasing performance is due to some influential words merging with more noninfluential words.

Plant-based industries such as palm oil mills will generate wastewater rich in organic matter. Palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment in Indonesia is still dominant with conventional methods without the capture of methane. This system does not know the value of methane emitted into the atmosphere. Measurement and testing of biomethane from anaerobic ponds of palm oil mills are relatively difficult because gas material is rapidly changing. An alternative methodology that is accurate through modeling with a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) with abiotic variable input. The aim of this research is to find out an anaerobic pond methane emission model of POME and simulation to find out the dynamics of methane emissions. Methane emission data is measured by a TGS2611 methane gas sensor CH4-meter system and using closed static chambers. A sampling of wastewater and methane gas was conducted in October-November 2018. The results showed that the methane gas emission model was obtained in the AP with RBFNN. The best RBFNN model had a 5-5-3 network architecture, spread 0.11 and error-goals 0.0005, R 0.940652 and MSE 0.003166. The reliability of RBFNN in determining models with non-linear field data variables was quite good, which was influenced by the number of data patterns, types and accuracy of the variables, network architecture, and the ANN model used. The simulation and prediction of methane emissions in the lowest-moderate-highest variable value scenario found that the COD-R and VS-R variables greatly affected the anaerobic pond WWTP emissions of multiple feeding systems. Even so, inlet wastewater temperature and rainfall variables had not significantly affected methane gas emissions, because the temperature was in a mesophilic range (30-40 oC) and the effect of rainfall would depend mainly on the high-low levels of organic matter (COD and VS).

Authors: Adewusi Adedeji Oluwaseun , Akanle Olayinka
Published: March 2020

This study explored the benefits of the production, sale, and consumption of Indigenous black soap (ọsẹ dúdú) in southwest Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 71 participants from Oyo, Ogun, and Lagos states. Participants were extensively interviewed, and their responses were analyzed and placed into themes. The study found certain economic- and health-related benefits attached to the production, sale, and consumption of black soap. These benefits could help drive sustainable development in Indigenous communities in Nigeria and the model could be used in Indigenous communities in other countries. Ọsẹ dúdú was also a major ingredient, in conjunction with other herbs, in medicines that were perceived to have important health benefits. Policy recommendations are suggested.
Memórias dos professores-artistas de dança: experiências de seus primeiros passos e suas ressonâncias
Authors: Junqueira Mariana Lopes , Souza Marco Aurelio da Cruz , Carvalho Carla
Published: March 2020

Ao ingressar no curso de Dança – Licenciatura, o acadêmico já possui uma trajetória com a Dança anterior ao curso e, por vezes, chega no ensino superior já atuando como docente em ambientes não formais de ensino. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar experiências dos acadêmicos em sua trajetória na Dança e suas ressonâncias enquanto docentes. Os dados foram gerados por meio de um trabalho de uma disciplina do curso de Dança – Licenciatura, de uma universidade localizada no Sul do País, no qual 18 acadêmicos registraram suas memórias sobre suas aulas de dança enquanto estudantes no ensino não formal. Ao escrever e refletir sobre sua própria trajetória na Dança, os acadêmicos conseguem identificar ressonâncias dessas experiências enquanto docentes. Utilizamos como aporte teórico autores que abordam a experiência (LARROSA, 2016), as pedagogias no ensino da dança (STINSON, 1995) e as narrativas utilizadas em percursos de formação (JOSSO, 2007). Os relatos sinalizam que a maioria dos acadêmicos tiveram suas primeiras vivências em dança em espaços não formais ou informais de ensino e que a dança está pouco presente na Educação Básica, até mesmo como forma de nutrição estética. Os acadêmicos indicam dilemas das aulas de dança, como aulas em espaços inadequados, a pouca presença de meninos nas aulas, o preconceito e a utilização da metodologia tradicional, mesmo em diferentes espaços de ensino e estilos de dança. Alguns registros apontam vivências em aulas baseadas nas pedagogias crítica, criativa e feminista, sinalizando uma mudança de pensamento sobre a Dança no seu cotidiano docente.
Descripción del embarazo ectópico en el hospital San Juan de Dios de Cali, Colombia, entre el 2005 y el 2006
Authors: Cuero-Vidal Olga Lucía
Published: March 2020

Objetivos: calcular la razón de incidencia y describir las características sociodemográficas, clínicas y el tratamiento de las mujeres con embarazo ectópico (EE), que fueron atendidas en el Hospital San Juan de Dios de Cali (HSJD), entre el 1 de abril de 2005 y el 31 marzo de 2006.Diseño del estudio: es un estudio descriptivo prospectivo, con información de la base de datos del departamento de estadística del HSJD y los datos de una encuesta estructurada para las mujeres con EE.Resultados: se atendieron 3722 nacidos vivos en este período y hubo 78 mujeres con EE. La incidencia fue del 2,1%, el promedio y la mediana de edad fue 26 años, el 65,4% no tenían ningún régimen de seguridad social, el 79% eran remitidas de otras instituciones. El dolor abdominal fue la principal causa de consulta (42,3%); el 53,8% no planificaban, entre las que planificaban el 29% lo hacían con oclusión tubárica bilateral, hubo un 7,7% con EE previo y éste era su segundo embarazo y su segundo ectópico. De las 78 mujeres con EE todas fueron llevadas a laparotomía y el promedio de hemoperitoneo fue 544cc y la mediana 500cc, 59% eran ectópicos derechos y el 88,5% estaban rotos, en el 96,7% de los casos el tratamiento fue salpingectomía total.Conclusión: la incidencia de embarazo ectópico fue del 2,1%; considerada como alta con respecto a la reportada en la literatura, predomina el diagnóstico tardío de la entidad en esta comunidad, lo cual no permitió tratamientos conservadores.
Miomatosis uterina e infertilidad: ¿qué evidencias tenemos como causa y como tratamiento?
Authors: Pérez Luis Ernesto , Diaz Ivonne , Ospina Luis
Published: March 2020

Objetivos: revisar las evidencias actuales que determinen el impacto de la miomatosis uterina en la infertilidad, así como la seguridad y la eficacia de las diferentes formas de tratamiento quirúrgico conservador.Metodología: revisión sistemática cualitativa, consultando las fuentes de datos de Cochrane (Menstrual Disorders and subfertility), Medline (PubMed -MeSH), y de OVID (EBM); desde 1995 a 2008.Resultados: muchos estudios observacionales han sugerido que los miomas causantes de infertilidad son todos los submucosos, los intramurales mayores de 5 cm que alteren la cavidad uterina y también los subserosos cuya cantidad y tamaño distorsionen la fisiología reproductiva. Pero no hay estudios aleatorizados controlados (RCTs) que soporten estas afirmaciones. En la actualidad, las miomectomías constituyen la mejor forma de tratamiento para pacientes infértiles. Por histeroscopia se deben resecar miomas submucosos menores de 5 cm, tipos 0 y I; por laparoscopia miomas intramurales o subserosos menores de 10 cm y no más de 5 miomas; finalmente, por laparotomía es posible resecar todo tipo de miomas, independientemente de su localización, tamaño y número. No hay RCTs que comparen la histeroscopia con otras técnicas de miomectomías; pero sí los hay mostrando que las indicaciones para laparotomía y laparoscopia son igualmente efectivas en resultados reproductivos.Conclusión: hay evidencias limitadas soportando la miomatosis como causante de infertilidad, y las miomectomías por histeroscopia respecto a otros tratamientos conservadores. Sin embargo, hay RCTs que muestran iguales resultados reproductivos al realizar miomatomías intramurales o subserosas por laparoscopia y por laparotomía en pacientes seleccionadas.

The investigation concerned the effects of low-frequency vibrations on a system consisting of two biochemically active components: methylene blue dye and ascorbic acid. Each component can be reversibly oxidized and reduced. This system allows us to trace the effect that a low-frequency vibration field has on the reciprocal reduction-oxidation process and detect specific features of this type of exposure. We discovered that reduction-oxidation processes in such systems do not accelerate but slow down when exposed to low frequencies, unlike those in the previously studied clathrate and chelate structures. We observe an inhibition effect concerning the sonochemical process in a low-frequency acoustic field. We performed a qualitative estimation of the effect.

Published: March 2020

Calorimeter with an isothermal shell was used at a temperature of 298.15 K to measure the following parameters: enthalpy of NiSO4(k) dissolution in water followed by generation of two molar concentration solutions; enthalpy of four NiSO4 aqueous solutions dilution having various molar concentrations followed by generation of solutions with approximately the same concentration values. Based on the data obtained, enthalpy and ion association constant in the NiSO4 aqueous solution, as well as standard enthalpy of the aqueous solution formation, were determined for the indicated compound. The latter value made it possible to establish a more accurate value of standard enthalpy in the Ni2+ cation formation in an aqueous solution, which turned out to be equal to --52.3 ± 0.5 kJ/mol.
