Permasalahan konflik penjadwalan ruangan (timetabling) sering dihadapi hampir sebagian besar institusi akademis di Indonesia, salah satunya di Fakultas Ilmu Komputer Universitas Indonesia (Fasilkom UI). Peningkatan jumlah mahasiswa setiap tahun yang tidak diikuti oleh peningkatan jumlah dan kapasitas kelas menjadi faktor penyebab utama. Selama ini sistem penjadwalan masih dilakukan secara manual, sehingga membutuhkan waktu yang relatif lama dan menyebabkan optimasi pengalokasian kebutuhan ruangan menjadi kurang efisien. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan pendekatan yang sesuai dalam menyelesaikan masalah timetabling tersebut. Beberapa pendekatan yang dapat digunakan untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini antara lain algoritma Tabu Search, Simmulated Annealing, Graph Coloring, dan Integer Linear Programming (ILP). Dalam penelitian ini, peneliti menggunakan algoritma ILP karena ILP merupakan model yang paling tepat untuk menyelesaikan masalah timetabling di Fasilkom UI. Algoritma ini dapat meminimalkan waktu yang diperlukan untuk melakukan penjadwalan dari sebulan menjadi hitungan menit. Room scheduling conflict issues (timetabling) are facing most of the academic institutions in Indonesia, one is in the Faculty of Computer Science (Fasilkom) Universitas Indonesia (UI). In the number of students each year followed by no increase in the number and capacity of the class became the main factor. During this scheduling system is still done manually so it takes a relatively long time so that the optimization is less efficient allocation of space requirements. This study aims to find an appropriate approach in solving the timetabling problem. Several approaches can be used to solve these problems include Tabu Search algorithm, Simmulated Annealing, Graph Coloring, and Integer Linear Programming (ILP). In this study we used the ILP algorithm for ILP is the most appropriate model to solve the timetabling problem in Fasilkom UI. This algorithm can minimize the time required to perform the scheduling of a month becomes a matter of minutes.

Published: July 2016

Information Technology can bring postive and negative impacts to our lives. One of the negative impact that emerge with the this technology development is Cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is any cyber-communication or publication posted or sent by a minor online, by Information Technology devices that is intended to frighten, embarrass, harass, hurt, set up, cause harm to, extort, or otherwise target another minor. In other countries there are many cases of Cyberbullying that ended with very serious event such as the suicide of the victims. This study was conducted to gain insight into how this phenomenon occur in Indonesia. We used questionnaires as a mean to get the informations about Cyberbullying among Indonesian teenagers. We distributed these questionnaires to secondary and high school students in Magelang, Yogyakarta and Semarang. The result shows that Cyberbullying has already happened with a big enough number (28%) but the impact was not very serious. From the answers we can conclude that many teens haven’t understand what Cyberbullying is and what its potential dangerous impacts may follow. We also explored the roles, responsibilities, and things that can be done by teens, parents, schools, law enforcements, and communities in order to prevent and stop Cyberbullying.

Fish represents a significant source of animal proteins in the diet of people
in a large part of the world. The market in Serbia is supplied from its own
production (carp and trout fish ponds) and catch from open waters. However,
the largest part of the fish on the market is imported. Average area under
carp fish ponds from 2006. to 2012. was 8,417 hektars, and under trout fish
ponds was 49,900 square meters. Average annual production of carp fish
species in this period was 7,228 tons, and of trout was 923 tons. In open
waters of Serbia, the catch (from both professional and sport fishing) is
averagely 3,745 tons of fish. The biggest catch of fish in open waters refers
to goldfish, then carp and bream, while lower catch refers to white bighead.
The objective of this investigation was to determine the scope and structure
of fish catch and production in Serbia from 2006. to 2012. The data on fish
catch and production were taken from Statistical Yearbook of the Republic of
Serbia.

Background/Aim. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a vasoproliferative retinopathy which affects the blood vessels of the retina during its development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and the degree of refractive errors in premature infants with severe ROP treated with antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) (bevacizumab). Methods. This prospective study included 21 patients (42 eyes) nine months old who received intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF therapy. The control group consisted of 45 patients (90 eyes) who were subjected to laser treatment. In cycloplegia each patient underwent retinoscopy, keratorefractometry, and A-scan ultrasonography. Results. Myopia was present in 47.62% of the eyes in the study group and in 33.33% of the eyes in the control group, but there were no statistically significant differences between these groups. Seven (16.67%) eyes in the study group and 17 (18.89%) eyes in the control group were discovered to have high myopia (SE? spherical equivalents < -3.0 D ? dioptre). Clinically significant hypermetropia was higher in the study group (47.62%) than in the control group (34.44%), but with no statistically significant difference. In addition, high hypermetropia was significantly greater in the control group (15.56%) than in the study group (11.90%) (p < 0.001). Astigmatism was more common in the control group than in the study group (81.11% vs 71.43%, respectively), especially high astigmatism (56% vs 43%, respectively). Also the more common form of astigmatism was with the rule (WTR) both in the study and the control group (42.86% vs 55.56%, respectively). Anisometropia was significantly greater in the control group (24.44%) than in the study group (9.52%) (p < 0.05). The children from the study group had significantly greater lens thickness, and a shorter anterior chamber depth than children from the control group (p < 0.01). There was no significant difference in the axial length of the eye between the groups. Conclusion. At the 9-month follow-up myopia was present in the patients with severe ROP treated with anti-VEGF, but high myopia was present to a lesser degree than in the laser treated patients. This difference is possibly related to anterior segment development. Research into the longer-term refractive outcomes is necessary with observation of the biometric components, visual acuity, and the visual field in order to monitor the real effects of this therapy.
Improved Hepatoprotective Effect of Liposome-Encapsulated Astaxanthin in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Hepatotoxicity
Authors: Chiu Chun-Hung , Chang Chun-Chao , Lin Shiang-Ting , Chyau Charng-Cherng , Peng Robert
Published: July 2016

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute hepatotoxicity is significantly associated with oxidative stress. Astaxanthin (AST), a xanthophyll carotenoid, is well known for its potent antioxidant capacity. However, its drawbacks of poor aqueous solubility and low bioavailability have limited its utility. Liposome encapsulation is considered as an effective alternative use for the improvement of bioavailability of the hydrophobic compound. We hypothesized that AST encapsulated within liposomes (LA) apparently shows improved stability and transportability compared to that of free AST. To investigate whether LA administration can efficiently prevent the LPS-induced acute hepatotoxicity, male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = six per group) were orally administered liposome-encapsulated AST at 2, 5 or 10 mg/kg-day (LA-2, LA-5, and LA-10) for seven days and then were LPS-challenged (i.p., 5 mg/kg). The LA-10 administered group, but not the other groups, exhibited a significant amelioration of serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (CRE), hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), IL-6, and hepatic nuclear NF-κB and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), suggesting that LA at a 10 mg/kg-day dosage renders hepatoprotective effects. Moreover, the protective effects were even superior to that of positive control N-acetylcysteine (NAC, 200 mg/kg-day). Histopathologically, NAC, free AST, LA-2 and LA-5 partially, but LA-10 completely, alleviated the acute inflammatory status. These results indicate that hydrophobic AST after being properly encapsulated by liposomes improves bioavailability and can also function as potential drug delivery system in treating hepatotoxicity.

Authors: De Julián-Ortiz Jesus , Verdejo Begoña , Polo Víctor , Besalú Emili , García-España Enrique
Published: July 2016

Rearrangements and their control are a hot topic in supramolecular chemistry due to the possibilities that these phenomena open in the design of synthetic receptors and molecular machines. Macrocycle aza-scorpiands constitute an interesting system that can reorganize their spatial structure depending on pH variations or the presence of metal cations. In this study, the relative stabilities of these conformations were predicted computationally by semi-empirical and density functional theory approximations, and the reorganization from closed to open conformations was simulated by using the Monte Carlo multiple minimum method.

Published: July 2016

Energy efficiency is a primary design goal for future green wireless communication technologies. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) schemes have been proposed in the literature to improve the throughput of communication systems, and they are expected to play a prominent role in the upcoming fifth generation (5G) standard. This paper presents a novel, high-efficiency MIMO decoder based on the K-Best algorithm with lattice reduction. We have designed a novel hardware architecture for this decoder, which was implemented using 32 nm standard CMOS technology. Our results show that the proposed decoder can achieve on average a four-fold reduction in the power costs compared to recently published designs for 5G networks. The throughput of the design is 506 Mbits/s, which is comparable to existing designs.
Pickering Emulsion-Based Marbles for Cellular Capsules
Authors: Zhang Guangzhao , Wang Chaoyang
Published: July 2016

The biodegradable cellular capsule, being prepared from simple vaporization of liquid marbles, is an ideal vehicle for the potential application of drug encapsulation and release. This paper reports the fabrication of cellular capsules via facile vaporization of Pickering emulsion marbles in an ambient atmosphere. Stable Pickering emulsion (water in oil) was prepared while utilizing dichloromethane (containing poly(l-lactic acid)) and partially hydrophobic silica particles as oil phase and stabilizing agents respectively. Then, the Pickering emulsion marbles were formed by dropping emulsion into a petri dish containing silica particles with a syringe followed by rolling. The cellular capsules were finally obtained after the complete vaporization of both oil and water phases. The technique of scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed to research the microstructure and surface morphology of the prepared capsules and the results showed the cellular structure as expected. An in vitro drug release test was implemented which showed a sustained release property of the prepared cellular capsules. In addition, the use of biodegradable poly(l-lactic acid) and the biocompatible silica particles also made the fabricated cellular capsules of great potential in the application of sustained drug release.

Published: July 2016

The purpose of this work was to study the effects of three green plasticizers H2O, glycerol, and soybean oil, on the properties of bio-based BDIS polyamides. The BDIS polyamides synthesized from the following biomass monomers: 1,4-butanediamine (BD), 1,10-decanediamine (DD), itaconic acid (IA), and sebacic acid (SA). It is interesting to note that the amorphous BDIS (IA-80%) polyamide was changed from the glassy state to the rubbery state after water soaking and induced crystallization at the same time. The H2O-plasticized non-crosslinked BDIS (IA-80%) polyamides can be very useful for the preparation of physical water gel. The glycerol- and soybean oil-plasticized BDIS (IA-80%) polyamides displayed excellent toughness. The plasticized BDIS (IA-80%) polyamides were characterized by Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), mechanical testing, and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Published: July 2016

Materials used in high voltage applications have to meet a lot of regulations for their safety and functional usage during their lifetime. For high voltage applications the electrical properties are the most relevant designing criteria. However, the mechanical properties of such materials have rarely been considered for application dimensioning over the last decades. This article gives an overview of composite materials used in high voltage applications and some basic mechanical and thermo-mechanical characterization methods of such materials, including a discussion of influences on practically used epoxy based thermosets.

Published: July 2016

A new pansharpening method is proposed, based on convolutional neural networks. We adapt a simple and effective three-layer architecture recently proposed for super-resolution to the pansharpening problem. Moreover, to improve performance without increasing complexity, we augment the input by including several maps of nonlinear radiometric indices typical of remote sensing. Experiments on three representative datasets show the proposed method to provide very promising results, largely competitive with the current state of the art in terms of both full-reference and no-reference metrics, and also at a visual inspection.
STOCHASTIC CARBON EMISSION ESTIMATION METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTION OPERATION
Authors: YI Chang-Yong , GWAK Han-Seong , LEE Dong-Eun
Published: July 2016

Low carbon construction is an important operation management goal because greenhouse gas (GHG) reduc­tion has become a global concern. Major construction resources that contribute GHG, such as equipment and labour, are being targeted to achieve this goal. The GHG emissions produced by the resources vary with their operating conditions. It is commendable to provide a statistical GHG emission estimation method that models the transitory nature of resource states at micro-scale of construction operations. This paper proposes a computational method called Stochastic Carbon Emission Estimation (SCE2) that measures the variability of GHG emissions. It creates construction operation models consisting of atomic work tasks, utilizes hourly equipment fuel consumption and hourly labourer respiratory rates that change according to their operating conditions classified into five categories, and identifies an optimal resource combi­nation by trading off eco-economic performance metrics such as the amount of GHG emissions, operation completion time, operation completion cost, and productivity. The study is of value to researchers because SCE2 fill in a gap to eco-economic operation modelling and analysis tool which considers operating conditions at micro-scale of construction operation having many stochastic work tasks. This study is also relevance to practitioners because it allows project man­agers to achieve eco-economic goals while honouring predefined constraints associated with time and cost.

Published: July 2016

Background

Obtaining direct-acting antiviral (DAA) medications for treatment of HCV is labour-intensive for providers. The purpose of this study was to assess the amount of unbillable time and to estimate the financial burden of obtaining DAAs for HCV.

Methods

Patients prescribed DAA therapy from 30 September 2014 to 19 March 2015 at an academic hepatology practice were enrolled prospectively. Providers recorded the amount of time required to obtain HCV therapy for each patient.

Results

A total of 79 patients consented, 27 of whom were excluded due to incomplete data or deferment of therapy. In our patient population 56% of patients had private insurance, 27% Medicare and 15% Medicaid. The median time spent per patient was 92.5 min (IQR 80.00–108.80). The median cost spent per patient was $78.85 (IQR 66.75–94.30).

Conclusions

Development of a streamlined process to reduce the time and cost for physicians to obtain DAAs is needed. Removing this barrier will encourage physicians to adopt HCV treatment to address the large number of patients in need.
Former les enseignant-e-s à une pédagogie de l'égalité
Authors: Collet Isabelle
Published: July 2016

Malgré la progression spectaculaire des scolarités des filles dans l'enseignement secondaire et supérieur, les inégalités liées au genre perdurent dans l'ensemble de système éducatif. Depuis 1983, les conventions interministérielles se sont succédé, affirmant toutes une volonté de sensibiliser les personnels de l'Éducation nationale aux stéréotypes sexistes et de les former à l'égalité filles garçons. En réalité, faute de textes contraignants, bien peu d'ÉSPÉ (Écoles supérieures du professorat et de l'éducation) proposent aujourd'hui une formation approfondie sur la question. Le propos de cet article est de revenir sur les polémiques passées, telle que les ABCD de l'égalité , de distinguer « éducation à l'égalité » et « pédagogie de l'égalité », et de montrer à quel point une formation initiale obligatoire et évaluée est indispensable pour former les futurs enseignant-e-s à une pédagogie de l'égalité

À partir d’une lecture de Kant et d’une analyse de quelques expériences de nos interactions avec la réalité matérielle, cet article développe une pensée de l’ aisthesis qui précise la nature de la différence entre les perceptions qui nous viennent à travers des médiations techniques (aujourd’hui numériques) et les perceptions que nous avons des formes qui constituent notre environnement présentiel. Sans aucune technophobie, il aide à comprendre en quoi l’autoréférentialité de la représentation ne cesse de croître en même temps que nos perceptions sont de plus en plus filtrées par des médiations numériques.
Balzac et le cénacle hugolien. Un point d’histoire du romantisme
Authors: Brix Michel
Published: July 2016

En 1853, Alexandre Dumas évoque Balzac en ces termes : « Ce n’était ni un ami, ni un frère, c’était plutôt un rival, presque un ennemi. » Aujourd’hui, on ne peut plus guère comprendre une telle déclaration, tant notre regard sur le romantisme a été modelé par le Victor Hugo raconté par un témoin de sa vie . Cet ouvrage fait de Balzac, à la fin des années 1820, un visiteur du cénacle de la rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs et – à l’instar de Dumas à l’époque – un soutien de Hugo (Balzac aurait été présent à la lecture de Marion de Lorme puis à la création d’ Hernani ). Mais faut-il accorder du crédit à ces affirmations ? Le recoupement des témoignages montre que non. Balzac n’a pas rejoint, autour de 1829, les cohortes hugoliennes. Extérieur au mouvement des réformateurs, il a pu ainsi être perçu, au fur et à mesure qu’avançaient les années 1830, comme le rival voire effectivement comme l'« ennemi » des anciens membres du cénacle.
Le déficit d’empathie chez l’adolescent : comment le caractériser et l’évaluer cliniquement ? Revue de la littérature
Authors: Piñon Mélanie , Forestier Aline , Diby Marc
Published: July 2016

Introduction : l’empathie a longtemps été considérée sous l’angle des sciences humaines. Aujourd’hui, certains postulats neuroscientifiques viennent compléter les modèles théoriques existants. Contexte : l’observation clinique des adolescents qui présentent des troubles psychiques accompagnés de troubles du comportement et/ou des traits psychopathiques traduit fréquemment un déficit d’empathie. De ce point de vue, il semble important pour les infirmiers d’évaluer la nature et le degré d’empathie des adolescents présentant de tels troubles. Objectifs : cette revue de la littérature a pour objectif d’exposer les caractéristiques cliniques du déficit d’empathie à partir de sa définition et de décrire les outils d’évaluation clinique. Méthode : la population cible de cette revue concerne les adolescents de 12 à 18 ans. La revue a été conduite sur PubMed, CINAHL et PsycINFO et porte sur la période de publication allant de 2002 à 2012. Résultats : vingt-deux articles ont été retenus. L’empathie est définie comme un mécanisme associant plusieurs composantes de l’activité neuronale. L’empathie englobe une composante affective, une composante cognitive, qui reposent sur un substrat neurofonctionnel dysfonctionnel lors de déficit d’empathie. Trois échelles d’évaluation se distinguent : la Basic empathy scale , l’ Interpersonal reactivity index et la Griffith empathy measure . Discussion : trois outils d’évaluation présentent les critères de validité et de fiabilité pour l’utilisation clinique. Conclusion : le développement de pratiques basées sur des données probantes devra confirmer l’intérêt de ces outils pour les infirmières.
De l’apprentissage diffus ou informel à l’éducation diffuse ou informelle
Authors: Brougère Gilles
Published: July 2016

Résumé Analyser comment il peut y avoir apprentissage en dehors de situations éducatives conduit à rencontrer, malgré l’évidence d’un tel fait, des difficultés liées aux logiques de dénomination toujours contestables et aux résistances. Il est pourtant essentiel de penser une telle dimension, quel que soit le nom qu’on lui donne, qui peut apparaître comme fondamentale pour caractériser l’être humain, un apprenant tous terrains (ou plutôt en toutes situations). Il s’agit de penser la continuité entre éducation formelle et apprentissage informel, la diversité des situations d’apprentissage et de donner une place à une éducation diffuse se situant sur la crête entre le formel et l’informel.
Population Structure and Habitat Use of the Endangered Watercress Darter
Authors: Duncan R. Scot , Kuhajda Bernard R. , Hodges Caitlin A. , Messenger Ashley L.
Published: July 2016

Despite Alabama's exceptionally diverse freshwater fish fauna, many of its fish species face extinction. Some of the state's most imperiled species dwell within coldwater springs, but a deficit of knowledge about their ecology hampers protection efforts. The watercress darter Etheostoma nuchale is a species confined to five springs in the greater Birmingham metropolitan area. Roebuck Spring likely harbors the largest population. Its pool has been surveyed occasionally, but there had been no survey of its run, a shallow stream flowing from the pool. We investigated the darter's use of the run, its habitat preferences, and characteristics of the habitats where it is most abundant. We quantified the abundance of stream microhabitats, then estimated darter density in the stream's five most common habitats using a throw trap, a high-walled metal frame dropped in the habitat. We found darters at densities vastly exceeding typical estimates derived using seine nets. We estimated the run harbored 116,932 (79,358–155,965) darters, two-thirds of which were juveniles. The most preferred habitat was coontail Ceratophyllum demersum, a submergent plant not previously known to provide darter habitat. Coontail grew prolifically in swift currents, which was surprising given that darter habitats described previously had little to no current. Coontail provided a more structurally complex habitat than the plants of the other microhabitats studied. Our results suggest that spring runs can support substantial densities of the watercress darter if dense submergent vegetation is present.

The chapter discusses the management of institutional repositories (IR) in developing countries. It starts with the introduction of the concept of institutional repositories and its origin. Various definitions of institutional repositories are highlighted. The chapter goes further to discuss the features of institutional repositories such as infrastructure, hosted service, customer support, content organization and control, content discovery, publication tools, reporting, multimedia, social features and notifications, and so on. It further analyses vital issues in management of institutional repositories. Peculiar issues in open access for developing countries are also identified and discussed. The chapter covers the roles of libraries and librarians in the management of institutional repositories; the roles include collection development and management, software acquisition and training, formulation of guidelines for standard metadata and catalogue system, assessment of submission for standard and quality, persuading authors to contribute their intellectual works, enlightenment on copyright issues, information literacy in the use of institutional repositories, promotion and marketing of institutional repositories. The chapter further highlights the challenges and intervention strategies in the management of institutional repositories in developing countries; it enumerates the challenges to include: personnel and technical staff, ICT equipment and infrastructure, lack of awareness and advocacy, inadequate funding, poor policy guidelines, poor power supply, open access, software, copyright law and inadequate internet bandwidth. Based on these, the chapter recommends that an aggressive enlightenment programme should be carried out from time to time; developing countries and their higher institutions should wake up to their responsibilities by formulating policies on institutional repositories (IR); developing countries should also come together to form consortia in the areas of software selection and deployment for institutional repositories. Management of institutions in these countries should make funds available for the smooth running of their institutional repositories, and so on. The chapter concludes with the need for academic institutions and their libraries to pay more attention to the funding and development of institutional repositories in order to provide more effective and efficient access to digital information services to the global academic community.

Mobile Commerce Adoption
Authors: AlFahl Husam
Published: July 2016

Mobile commerce can be a great potential to generate new streams of revenue for many established and new businesses. The penetration rates for mobile phone subscriptions in many countries show that there are significant opportunities to invest in and introduce mobile commerce services in many of these markets. The aim of this research is to explore and identify the various factors that influence the intention to adopt mobile commerce in Saudi banks and telecoms. A number of these factors were included in this research as they are chosen from well-known theories and investigated in the current study within the mobile commerce context using principal component analysis technique. Based on the findings of the research, the mobile commerce organizational adoption model is proposed to support organizations in order to launch mobile commerce services into the market. The findings of the research show that seven components can affect the intention to adopt mobile commerce in Saudi banks and telecoms. The three most significant components that can affect the intention to adopt mobile commerce services in Saudi banks and telecoms are performance expectancy, organizational readiness, and mobile commerce features and opportunities. The results of this research propose seven hypotheses to be tested in the future by researchers from different countries.

Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disease of the hair follicle that results in hair loss of varying severity. Recently, we showed that IFN-γ–producing NKG2D+CD8+ T cells actively infiltrate the hair follicle and are responsible for its destruction in C3H/HeJ AA mice. Our transcriptional profiling of human and mouse alopecic skin showed that the IFN pathway is the dominant signaling pathway involved in AA. We showed that IFN-inducible chemokines (CXCL9/10/11) are markedly upregulated in the skin of AA lesions, and further, that the IFN-inducible chemokine receptor, CXCR3, is upregulated on alopecic effector T cells. To demonstrate whether CXCL9/10/11 chemokines were required for development of AA, we treated mice with blocking Abs to CXCR3, which prevented the development of AA in the graft model, inhibiting the accumulation of NKG2D+CD8+ T cells in the skin and cutaneous lymph nodes. These data demonstrate proof of concept that interfering with the Tc1 response in AA via blockade of IFN-inducible chemokines can prevent the onset of AA. CXCR3 blockade could be approached clinically in human AA with either biologic or small-molecule inhibition, the latter being particularly intriguing as a topical therapeutic.
Biophysical and Biochemical Characterization of Avian Secretory Component Provides Structural Insights into the Evolution of the Polymeric Ig Receptor

The polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR) transports polymeric Abs across epithelia to the mucosa, where proteolytic cleavage releases the ectodomain (secretory component [SC]) as an integral component of secretory Abs, or as an unliganded protein that can mediate interactions with bacteria. SC is conserved among vertebrates, but domain organization is variable: mammalian SC has five domains (D1-D5), whereas avian, amphibian, and reptilian SC lack the D2 domain, and fish SC lacks domains D2-D4. In this study, we used double electron–electron resonance spectroscopy and surface plasmon resonance binding studies to characterize the structure, dynamics, and ligand binding properties of avian SC, avian SC domain variants, and a human SC (hSC) variant lacking the D2 domain. These experiments demonstrated that, unlike hSC, which adopts a compact or “closed” domain arrangement, unliganded avian SC is flexible and exists in both closed and open states, suggesting that the mammalian SC D2 domain stabilizes the closed conformation observed for hSC D1-D5. Experiments also demonstrated that avian and mammalian pIgR share related, but distinct, mechanisms of ligand binding. Together, our data reveal differences in the molecular recognition mechanisms associated with evolutionary changes in the pIgR protein.
South African Reformed Baptists and contextualisation: Contemporary understanding, attitudes and praxis
Authors: Koning John , Buys P.J.
Published: July 2016

Postmodernism and urbanisation pose significant challenges and opportunities to Christian witness in the West. In South Africa, Reformed Baptists as well as the Reformed Churches in South Africa (RCSA) seem to be battling to engage with and reach new generations in the cities with the gospel. While the reasons for this may be many and varied, one reason for our faltering and seemingly ineffective witness can be traced back to inadequate and unbiblical views of contextualisation. While South African Reformed Baptists are passionately committed to biblical truth and orthodoxy, they appear to be negligent in the matter of faithful biblical contextualisation. Reformed Baptist pastors appear to be slow to take cognisance of and adjust to the unique challenges and opportunities that Postmodernism and urbanisation presents to gospel ministry in South Africa. Some conservative Baptists are suspicious of, or even critical of contextualisation, considering it a compromise with liberal theology. This article provides an overview of the findings of an empirical research that was done among a selected group of Reformed Baptist pastors as well as a selected group of ministers of the RCSA concerning their views on and practice of contextualisation. The article also provides some critical reflection on the findings and some proposals for more effective outreach to postmodern urban people.Keywords: Contextualisation, Reformed, Baptists Reformed Churches in South Africa Church, growth, Postmodernism
’n Eksegetiese ondersoek na die leierseienskappe wat Paulus in Filippense 3:1-16 toon
Authors: De Bruyn Paul J. , De Klerk Ben J.
Published: July 2016

This article is the result of a thesis, submitted in 2015, with the following title: A PastoralTheological Study of Effective and Responsible Leadership of the Afrikaans-Speaking Minister in the Congregation’s Call. The problem investigated regards the fact that leadership in the church is not defined properly and, as a result, no clear guidance exists for ministers on what is expected of them as leaders. This article focuses on Paul as leader of the New Testament church. An exegetical investigation of Philippians 3:1-16 will be conducted to determine what this passage reveals about his strengths as a leader.Keywords: Leierskap, eienskappe, predikante, Paulus, Filippense 3
Quantifying Soil Carbon Accumulation in Alaskan Terrestrial Ecosystems during the Last 15,000 Years

Abstract. Abstract: Northern high latitudes contain large amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC), in which Alaskan terrestrial ecosystems account for a substantial proportion. In this study, the SOC accumulation in Alaskan terrestrial ecosystems over the last 15,000 years was simulated using a process-based biogeochemistry model for both peatland and non-peatland terrestrial ecosystems. Comparable with the previous estimates of 25–70 Pg C in peatland and 13–22 Pg C in non-peatland soils within 1 m depth in Alaska, our model estimated a total SOC of 36–63 Pg C at present, including 27–48 Pg C in peatland soils and 9–15 Pg C in non-peatland soils. Vegetation stored only 2.5–3.7 Pg C in Alaska currently with 0.3–0.6 Pg C in peatlands and 2.2–3.1 Pg C in non-peatlands. The simulated average rate of peat C sequestration was 2.3 Tg C yr−1 with a peak value of 5.1 Tg C yr−1 during the Holocene Thermal Maximum (HTM) in the early Holocene, four folds higher than the average rate of 1.4 Tg C yr−1 over the rest of the Holocene. The SOC accumulation slowed down, or even ceased, during the neoglacial climate cooling after the mid-Holocene, but accumulation increased again in the 20th century. The model-estimated peat depths ranged from 1.1 to 2.7 m, similar to the field-based estimate of 2.29 m for the region. We found that the changes in vegetation types and their distributions due to climate change were the main factors determining the spatial variations of SOC accumulation during different time periods. Warmer summer temperature and stronger radiation seasonality, along with higher precipitation in the HTM and the 20th century might have resulted in the extensive peatland expansion and carbon accumulation, implying that soil C accumulation would continue under future warming conditions.
