Lahan pedesaan memiliki banyak manfaat. Lahan tersebut dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai lahan apotik hidup atau tanaman obat keluarga (TOGA). Sehingga, dibutuhkan upaya untuk memanfaatkan lahan pekarangan tersebut secara lebih efektif. Hal inilah yang mendorong pengabdi untuk melakukan pengabdian di Desa Seloharjo, khususnya dusun Dukuh, Nambangan, dan Bobok Tempel. Pemerintah desa Seloharjo sedang gencar menghimbau kepada seluruh masyarakatnya untuk memanfaatakan pekarangan atau perkebunan yang tersedia. Pengabdi melakukan pengabdian bersama mahasiswa KKN. Mahasiswa memberikan pengetahuan kepada warga mengenai memanfaatkan, membudidayakan, serta mengemas obat akan laku di pasaran. Sedangkan, pengabdi memberi pelatihan mengenai cara pemasaran. Hasil pengabdian adalah masyarakat mengetahui cata memenafaatkan, membudidayakan, mengemas, serta memasarkan hasil olahan dari tanaman hias. Sehingga, pembudidayaan tanaman obat tradisonal akan memberikan manfaat kepada warga. Manfaat tersebut adalah (1) sebagai sarana untuk menyediakan obat herbal bagi warga, (2) sarana untuk memanfaatkan tanaman herbal di pedesaan sebagai bahan baku obat herbal, yang dapat digunakan sebagai cara alternative untuk menanggulangi obat kimia yang relative mahal, serta (3) meningkatkan ekonomi masyarakat melalui pemanfaatan budidaya tanaman herbal yang dapat didistribusikan ke pasar, rumah sakit, industry obat, dan lain sebagainya.

The role of the maternity support worker in infection control in maternity care
Authors: Lindsay Pat
Published: February 2019

Childbearing women and newborn babies are susceptible to infections. These can be a serious risk to their health and wellbeing, by altering the course of pregnancy, delaying recovery from childbirth, leading to longstanding morbidity or even causing death. Sepsis is a severe complication of infection that can rapidly lead to death of an infant or woman.

Maternity support workers are well placed to recognise the signs of infection and help improve outcomes and prevent this serious complication.
Measuring the benefits of free pregnancy yoga classes
Authors: Westbury Becky
Published: February 2019

Background

Antenatal yoga is known to have many benefits, including increased comfort in labour, decreased pain in labour and decreased length of labour.

Aims

To identify the impact and benefits of free yoga sessions on women's pregnancy experience and birth outcomes.

Methods

A structured service evaluation was carried out, consisting of a small-scale audit of birth outcomes of primigravid women who had attended six or more yoga sessions, and a survey of women who had attended.

Findings

Women found the classes to be beneficial, and reported the breathing and relaxation to be invaluable. The social aspect of the classes enabled women to make friends and build support networks. The birth outcomes audit was small scale and did not account for confounding variables such as demographics or mobility in labour. Of the women audited, 83% had a spontaneous vaginal birth, and the average length of labour was 5 hours and 45 minutes.

Conclusion

Yoga classes have had multiple benefits for women during pregnancy, labour and birth, and beyond.
Use of technology in simulation training in midwifery
Authors: Chitongo Sarah , Suthers Fiona
Published: February 2019

Simulation and skills training support the development of midwifery competencies. Midwives will already be familiar with torsos, dolls and pelvises to simulate abdominal palpations, neonatal resuscitation and mechanisms of labour. The use of high-fidelity simulation through technologically advanced manikins in skills training for the midwifery students has also been developed, and it is hoped that this will increase students' performance in effectively managing maternal resuscitation and other obstetric emergencies after simulation in clinical labs. Simulation has great benefits, such as increasing the interaction between educators and students and using experiential learning, or learning through doing and reflecting. Skill performance, critical thinking, and self-confidence can all be assessed and evaluated during the simulation experience.

Case summary:

A 45-year-old male with long-term, uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, six months' history of progressive deformity on the right foot and 45 days of purulent drainage in the lateral aspect of the foot. Patient was diagnosed with an infected Charcot foot with extensive midfoot bone involvement as shown by radiographic and MRI images. We used a multidisciplinary approach to treatment with early antibiotic therapy, tight glycaemic control and staged surgical treatment. Initial treatment was adequate irrigation and debridement, bone-void filling with bioactive glass, external fixation and provisional negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Later progressed to total contact casting and progressive protect weight bearing. At final follow-up, patient was full weight-bearing in stiff soled footwear, with no clinical signs of infection, no gross alteration of gait pattern and demonstrating complete bone healing and integration of the bioactive glass.

Conclusion:

The bioactive glass S53P4 was successfully used in the limb-salvage staged treatment of a patient with an infected Charcot foot. Here, full integration with the surrounding bone and its supportive action in the combat of bone infection was demonstrated.

Published: February 2019

Hydroxypropyl β-Cyclodextrin (HPBCD) used in food, pharmaceutical, chemical industries, as well as environmental, and agriculture engineering. But the major issue related to HPBCD is the low solubility profile. In this study, the influence of the Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment (the Trivedi Effect®) on the physicochemical properties of HPBCD was evaluated using spectroscopic and calorimetric analytical techniques. The test sample (HPBCD) was divided into control sample and treated sample. The control sample did not receive the Biofield Energy Treatment. Whereas, the treated sample received the Biofield Energy Treatment remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Dahryn Trivedi. The particle size values of the treated sample were decreased by 3.28%(d10), 1.36%(d50), 0.45%(d90), and 1.04%{D(4,3)}; therefore, the specific surface area was increased by 1.9% compared with the control sample. The evaporation temperature of the treated HPBCD sample was significantly decreased by 19.89%; however, the latent heat of evaporation and latent heat of fusion were significantly increased by 56.27% and 47.41%, respectively compared with the control sample.The total weight loss in the treated HPBCD was decreased by 5.11%; whereas, the residue amount was significantly 309.67% more compared to the control sample.The results indicated that the Trivedi Effect® might have produced a new form of HPBCD which may show better thermal stability, solubility, dissolution rate, and bioavailability. This new form of HPBCD would be more useful for improvement of solubility of the lipophilic drug, preparation of cholesterol free food products, weight loss supplements, anti-obesity medication, stabilize volatile and unstable compounds, and other manufacturing industry using it as a raw material.

Omphile and his Soccer Ball: Colonialism, Methodology, Translanguaging Research
Authors: Ndhlovu Finex
Published: February 2019

In this paper, I am reviewing autoethnographic method in translanguaging research. I tell a story that is based on a casual and unplanned encounter with Omphile, a seven year old boy with whom I interacted using communicative practices that confirmed the suppositions of translanguaging theory but also challenged the methods that support empirical observations of translanguaging research–in equal measure. The paper signposts the promises that autoethnographic approaches hold for researching naturalistic human communication in ways that side step the language and methods of the positivist tradition. I argue that in the same way that contemporary sociolinguistics theorisations remind us about how communication is not limited to determinate languages or codes, research does not have to be limited to controlled, systematic scientific methods. The framework of autoethnography reviewed in this article is one example of a praxis that is antimethodological and, thus in line with many of the anti-foundational premises of translanguaging theory.

Dietary antioxidant for disease prevention corroborated by the Nrf2 pathway
Authors: Hegazy Amany M. , El-Sayed Eman M. , Ibrahim Khadiga S. , Abdel-Azeem Amal S.
Published: February 2019

Dietary antioxidants are widely distributed in various types of our food. They are strongly associated with reduced risk of many chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer, and Alzheimer’s diseases. They include vitamins such as vitamins A, E, C, and carotenoids. Also, some minerals like; zinc, manganese, copper, iron, and selenium are essential for the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Furthermore, dietary polyphenols and flavonoids are considered as potent antioxidant compounds. Vegetables, fruits, and edible herbs are the richest sources of such antioxidants. Antioxidants reduce oxidative stress, either directly by reducing reactive species or indirectly by enhancing the body antioxidant defense mechanisms in different ways. These may include upregulating gene expression of some antioxidant enzymes via a nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor2 pathway. Administration of a mixture of antioxidants is beneficial since they act synergistically in various phases. The aims of this review are to summarize the different antioxidants from dietary sources and their role in the prevention of different diseases.
All-Optical XOR, XNOR, NAND and OR Logic Gates Based on Photonic Crystal 3-DB Coupler for BPSK Signals
Authors: Heydari Afsaneh , Bahrami Ali , Mahmoodi Abbas
Published: February 2019

We propose a very compact structure for all-optical XOR, XNOR, NAND and OR logic gates based on photonic crystal 3-dB coupler in binary-phase-shift-keyed (BPSK) signals. The square lattice of dielectric rods in SiO2 background has been considered for photonic crystal structure. The photonic band gap (PBG) and light propagation simulations of proposed logic structure have been accomplished by plane wave expansion and finite difference time domain methods. The proposed structure can achieve logical function when the refractive index of all rods and substrate is fabricated with relaxed error tolerance within −0.005 to 0.005 from designed parameters. The proposed logic functions may potentially be used as key components in all-optical information networks for processing the BPSK signals.
Transmittivity/Reflectivity, Bandwidth, and Ripple Factor Level Measurement for Different Refractive Index Fiber Grating Shape Profiles
Authors: Vinoth Kumar K. , Prithi S. , Maheswar R. , Rashed Ahmed Nabih Zaki , Tabbour Mohammed Salah F.
Published: February 2019

This paper has presented the simulation of single fiber Bragg grating (FBG) characteristics using Optigrating simulation software at the worst case. Various types of the same/different refractive index grating/fiber profiles are employed in order to test the transmittivity/reflectivity, bandwidth, and average group delay ripple factor level measurement of single FBG with optimum case. As well as output pulse intensity spectrum is examined for each case. It is observed that minimum side lobes strength, maximum output pulse intensity spectrum, dominant mode, narrow spectral bandwidth, maximum transmittivity/reflectivity spectral response are achieved with grating (exponential)/core (exponential)/region 1 (Gaussian cladding) FBG profile configuration, and grating (exponential)/core (parabolic)/region 1 (Gaussian cladding) profile configuration. Optigrating simulation results give an idea about the efficiency of the suggested hybrid FBG refractive index profiles to analyze FBG technical characteristics.
Resource Efficient Online Routing Enabled Translucent Space Division Multiplexing Based Elastic Optical Networks
Authors: Iyer Sridhar
Published: February 2019

In the current work, we focus on the optimization of lightpath routing in a Space Division Multiplexing based Elastic Optical Network (SDM-b-EON) for which we propose an online routing algorithm, named as Resource Efficient Online Routing Algorithm with Regeneration (REORAwR) which, in addition to ensuring the routing of translucent lightpaths through spectral super-channels over spatial modes links also accounts for the presence of the transceivers in the network. The proposed REORAwR algorithm is tunable such that it can either aim to reduce the bandwidth blocking probability or can aim to minimize the overall consumed power. In regard to regeneration, we investigate two scenarios which differ in their regeneration variability level in addition to the adjustment of modulation formats as per the transmission route characteristics. We conduct extensive simulations considering two realistic network topologies and realistic transmission reach values. The obtained results demonstrate that significant benefits can be obtained in regard to the utilization of both the major network resources (spectrum and transceivers) when regeneration is conducted with complete flexibility and modulation format conversion is also permitted at every node of the SDM-b-EON. In addition, the obtained results also show that when compared to spectrum usage, in terms of the overall consumed power, the performance profits which can be obtained in a translucent SDM-b-EON are very small.
An integral that counts the zeros of a function
Authors: Hungerbühler Norbert , Wasem Micha
Published: February 2019

Given a real function f on an interval [a, b] satisfying mild regularity conditions, we determine the number of zeros of f by evaluating a certain integral. The integrand depends on f, f′ and f″. In particular, by approximating the integral with the trapezoidal rule on a fine enough grid, we can compute the number of zeros of f by evaluating finitely many values of f, f′ and f″. A variant of the integral even allows to determine the number of the zeros broken down by their multiplicity.

17β-estradiol (E2) is produced from androgens via the action of the enzyme aromatase. E2 is known to be made in neurons in the brain, but its precise functions in the brain are unclear. Here, we used a forebrain-neuron-specific aromatase knock-out (FBN-ARO-KO) mouse model to deplete neuron-derived E2 in the forebrain of mice and thereby elucidate its functions. FBN-ARO-KO mice showed a 70–80% decrease in aromatase and forebrain E2 levels compared with FLOX controls. Male and female FBN-ARO-KO mice exhibited significant deficits in forebrain spine and synaptic density, as well as hippocampal-dependent spatial reference memory, recognition memory, and contextual fear memory, but had normal locomotor function and anxiety levels. Reinstating forebrain E2 levels via exogenousin vivoE2 administration was able to rescue both the molecular and behavioral defects in FBN-ARO-KO mice. Furthermore,in vitrostudies using FBN-ARO-KO hippocampal slices revealed that, whereas induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) was normal, the amplitude was significantly decreased. Intriguingly, the LTP defect could be fully rescued by acute E2 treatmentin vitro. Mechanistic studies revealed that FBN-ARO-KO mice had compromised rapid kinase (AKT, ERK) and CREB-BDNF signaling in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex. In addition, acute E2 rescue of LTP in hippocampal FBN-ARO-KO slices could be blocked by administration of a MEK/ERK inhibitor, further suggesting a key role for rapid ERK signaling in neuronal E2 effects. In conclusion, the findings provide evidence of a critical role for neuron-derived E2 in regulating synaptic plasticity and cognitive function in the male and female brain.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe steroid hormone 17β-estradiol (E2) is well known to be produced in the ovaries in females. Intriguingly, forebrain neurons also express aromatase, the E2 biosynthetic enzyme, but the precise functions of neuron-derived E2 is unclear. Using a novel forebrain-neuron-specific aromatase knock-out mouse model to deplete neuron-derived E2, the current study provides direct genetic evidence of a critical role for neuron-derived E2 in the regulation of rapid AKT-ERK and CREB-BDNF signaling in the mouse forebrain and demonstrates that neuron-derived E2 is essential for normal expression of LTP, synaptic plasticity, and cognitive function in both the male and female brain. These findings suggest that neuron-derived E2 functions as a novel neuromodulator in the forebrain to control synaptic plasticity and cognitive function.
