Сrude Plant Extracts Mediated Polyphenol Oxidation Reactions in the Presence of 3-Methyl-2-Benzothiazolinone Hydrazone for the Determination of Total Polyphenol Content in Beverages
Authors: Morosanova Maria A. , Fedorov Anton S. , Morosanova Elena I.
Published: March 2018

Background:

The consumption of antioxidants, including phenolic compounds, is considered
important for preventing the oxidative damage diseases and ageing. The total polyphenol content (TPC)
is the parameter used to estimate the quality of plant-derived products.

Methods:

Phenol oxidase activity of green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) crude extract (in the presence of
hydrogen peroxide) and banana (Musa sp.) pulp crude extract has been studied spectrophotometrically
using catechol, gallic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, and quercetin as substrates. All studied compounds
have been oxidized in the presence of green bean crude extract and hydrogen peroxide; all studied compounds
except ferulic acid have been oxidized in the presence of banana pulp crude extract. Michaelis
constants (Km) and maximum reaction rates (Vmax) have been determined for oxidation in the presence
of green bean crude extract and hydrogen peroxide (Km are 3.8×10-4 M, 1.6×10-3 M, 2.2×10-4 M,
2.3×10-4 M, 1.4×10-4 M and Vmax are 0.046 min-1, 0.102 min-1, 0.185 min-1, 0.053 min-1, 0.041 min-1 for
catechol, gallic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, and quercetin, respectively) and for oxidation in the presence
of banana pulp crude extract (Km are 1.6×10-3 M, 3.8×10-3 M, 2.2×10-3 M, 4.2×10-4 M and Vmax
are 0.058 min-1, 0.025 min-1, 0.027 min-1, 0.015 min-1 for catechol, gallic acid, caffeic acid, and quercetin,
respectively). The influence of 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone (MBTH) on the oxidation
reactions kinetics has been studied: Michaelis constants values decrease and maximum reaction rates
increase, which contributes to the increase in sensitivity of the determination.

Results:

Kinetic procedures of Total Polyphenol Content (TPC) determination using crude plants extracts
in the presence of MBTH have been proposed (time of analysis is 1 min). For gallic acid (used as
a standard for TPC determination) detection limit is 5.3×10-5 M, quantitation limit is 1.8×10-4 M, and
linear range is 1.8×10-4 - 1.3×10-3 M for green bean crude extract; detection limit is 2.9×10-5 M,
quantitation limit is 9.5×10-5 M, and linear range is 9.5×10-5 - 2.4×10-3 M for banana pulp crude extract.
Proposed procedures are characterized by higher interference thresholds for sulfites, ascorbic acid, and
citric acid compared to pure enzymes (horseradish peroxidase and mushroom tyrosinase) in the same
conditions. Compared with standard Folin-Ciocalteu (FC) method the procedures described in this work
are also characterized by less interference and more rapid determination.

Conclusion:

The procedures have been applied to TPC determination in tea, coffee, and wine samples.
The results agree with the FC method for tea and coffee samples and are lower for wine samples, probably,
due to sulfites interference.

A Mobile Web App to Improve Health Screening Uptake in Men (ScreenMen): Utility and Usability Evaluation Study (Preprint)
Authors: Teo Chin Hai , Ng Chirk Jenn , Lo Sin Kuang , Lim Chip Dong , White Alan
Published: March 2018

BACKGROUND

Globally, the uptake of health screening is suboptimal, especially in men and those of younger age. In view of the increasing internet access and mobile phone ownership, ScreenMen, a mobile Web app, was developed to improve health screening uptake in men.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to evaluate the utility and usability of ScreenMen.

METHODS

This study used both qualitative and quantitative methods. Healthy men working in a banking institution were recruited to participate in this study. They were purposively sampled according to job position, age, education level, and screening status. Men were asked to use ScreenMen independently while the screen activities were being recorded. Once completed, retrospective think aloud with playback was conducted with men to obtain their feedback. They were asked to answer the System Usability Scale (SUS). Intention to undergo screening pre- and postintervention was also measured. Qualitative data were analyzed using a framework approach followed by thematic analysis. For quantitative data, the mean SUS score was calculated and change in intention to screening was analyzed using McNemar test.

RESULTS

In total, 24 men participated in this study. On the basis of the qualitative data, men found ScreenMen useful as they could learn more about their health risks and screening. They found ScreenMen convenient to use, which might trigger men to undergo screening. In terms of usability, men thought that ScreenMen was user-friendly and easy to understand. The key revision done on utility was the addition of a reminder function, whereas for usability, the revisions done were in terms of attracting and gaining users’ trust, improving learnability, and making ScreenMen usable to all types of users. To attract men to use it, ScreenMen was introduced to users in terms of improving health instead of going for screening. Another important revision made was emphasizing the screening tests the users do not need, instead of just informing them about the screening tests they need. A Quick Assessment Mode was also added for users with limited attention span. The quantitative data showed that 8 out of 23 men (35%) planned to attend screening earlier than intended after using the ScreenMen. Furthermore, 4 out of 12 (33%) men who were in the precontemplation stage changed to either contemplation or preparation stage after using ScreenMen with P=.13. In terms of usability, the mean SUS score of 76.4 (SD 7.72) indicated that ScreenMen had good usability.

CONCLUSIONS

This study showed that ScreenMen was acceptable to men in terms of its utility and usability. The preliminary data suggested that ScreenMen might increase men’s intention to undergo screening. This paper also presented key lessons learned from the beta testing, which is useful for public health experts and researchers when developing a user-centered mobile Web app.

THE POSITION OF NOTARIAL DEED IN THE SHARIA ECONOMIC DISPUTE
Authors: Masriani Yulies Tiena
Published: March 2018

Today the Indonesian economic system recognizes and applies the principles of Sharia into the National Legal System. Those principles are based on the value of justice, mutuality, equality, benefit and universalism (rahmatan lil ‘alamin), particular in agreement (Akad). An Akad is laid down into an notary deed, the the parties are deemed to have agreed its contents and consequences. If one of the parties does not perform his obligation, there can emerge a dispute in the implementation of Sharia economic transactions. Therefore, the position of a notary deed is very important as an evidence in the dispute settlement. Saat ini sistem ekonomi Indonesia mengakui dan menerapkan prinsip-prinsipnya Syariah ke dalam Sistem Hukum Nasional. Prinsip Syariah berlandaskan pada nilai nilai keadilan, kebersamaan, pemerataan, kemanfaatan dan keuniversalan (rahmatan lil ‘alamin) khususnya Akad. Akad dituangkan dalam suatu akta notariil, maka para pihak dianggap telah menyetujui semua isi Akad dan konsekuensinya. Para pihak harus melaksanakan hak dan kewajibannya sesuai dengan isi akta tersebut. Apabila salah satu pihak tidak melaksanakan Akad tersebut, maka menimbulkan terjadinya sengketa dalam pelaksanaan transaksi ekonomi syariah. Oleh sebab itu, kedudukan akta notariil sangat penting sebagai alat bukti dalam penyelesain sengketa tersebut.
FINALITY OF INDONESIAN CONSTITUTIONAL COURT DECISION IN REGARD TO JUDICIAL REVIEW
Authors: Abadi Suwarno
Published: March 2018

This article examines the constitutional status of Constitutional Court’s decisions constitutionally guaranteed as final. This status very critical because it could lead Constitutional Court to the judicial supremacy position. This article argues against this possibility. The status of Constitutional Court’s decisions should be critized on the basis that its finality is prima facie, not absolute. As a solution, this article takes a position called departmentalism which means that court and legislature are not supreme in their authority to interpret the constitution. Artikel ini membahas tentang status konstitusional putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi yang dijamin konstitusi bersifat final. Status tersebut sangat kritikal karena dapat mengarahkan Mahkamah Konstitusi ke posisi supremasi yudisial. Artikel ini berargumen tidak setuju atas kemungkinan tersebut. Oleh karena itu, status putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi perlu dikritisi dengan dasar bahwa finalitasnya tersebut bersifat “prima facie”, tidak absolut. Sebagai solusinya, artikel ini mengambil posisi departementalisme yang memiliki pengertian bahwa pengadilan dan legislator tidak memiliki supremasi atas kewenangan untuk melakukan interpretasi konstitusi.

In order to application of judicial principle is simple, fast and low cost is to reduce accumulation of cases in the Supreme Court especially at the level of Cassation. Along with the increasing number of incoming cases, and was sentenced in the District Court and Court of Appeal, the amount of the proposed decision legal remedy of Cassation to the Supreme Court also increased and began to be a serious problem. For that we need to do some research on role of Judiciary in Legal action restrictions in order to reduce the accumulation of civil cases. Penerapan asas peradilan yang sederhana, cepat dan biaya ringan bertujuan untuk mengurangi penumpukkan perkara di Mahkamah Agung, terutama pada tingkat Kasasi. Seiring dengan makin meningkatnya jumlah perkara yang masuk, dan diputus di PN dan PT, jumlah putusan yang diajukan upaya hukum Kasasi ke MA juga semakin meningkat dan mulai menjadi masalah serius. Untuk itu perlu dilakukan suatu penelitian tentang Peran Lembaga Peradilan dalam Pembatasan Upaya Hukum dalam rangka mengurangi penumpukkan perkara perdata.

KONSEPSI RECHTERLIJK PARDON ATAU PEMAAFAN HAKIM DALAM RANCANGAN KUHP
Authors: Saputro Adery Ardhan
Published: March 2018

The conception of Non-Imposing of a Penalty/Rechterlijk Pardon/dispensa de pena was unregulated in KUHP (Indonesia penal code). Conceptually, Rechterlijk Pardon is a modified form of “rigid legal certainty” to “flexible legal certainty”. This paradigm of Rechterlijk Pardon is based on from several cases that’s case have proven to commited crime, but his crimes are not feasible imposed a penalty. To respond the problem, RKUHP have created a new regulation (Judicial pardon), that’s judge may determine in the judgement no punishment, where he deems this case not proper to imposed a penalty. Konsepsi Non-Imposing of a Penalty/Rechterlijk Pardon/dispensa de pena merupakan suatu lembaga baru yang belum dikenal pada KUHP saat ini. Secara konseptual Rechterlijk Pardon merupakan bentuk dari modifikasi atas kepastian hukum yang bersifat kaku, menuju kepastian hukum yang bersifat fleksibel. Hal ini berangkat dari beberapa perkara yang sebenarnya telah memenuhi rumusan delik tindak pidana, namun perbuatannya tidak layak untuk dijatuhkan pemidanaan. Merespon masalah tersebut, RKUHP membuat suatu rumusan baru dengan mengatur dimungkinkannya pemaafan hakim terhadap beberapa perkara yang tidak layak dijatuhkan pemidanaan.

Initial Evidence on the Association between Local Government Fiscal Distress and Environmental Protection Programs
Authors: Phillips Janet F. , Strickland Pamela J.
Published: March 2018

The purpose of this study is to explore the commitment of local governments to environmental programs when fiscal distress is predicted. We hypothesize that commitment to environmental programs diminishes when the local government is experiencing fiscal distress. The regression model results indicate that local governments with high levels of debt were less likely to I mplement environmental programs and that a larger population and higher revenue are factors directly related to the commitment of local government to environmental programs. Communities that are more populous and less fiscally stressed are more likely to benefit from a local government that implements and sustains environmental programs. These results have implications for the stakeholders of local communities and broader implications for the global effort toward environmental protection and sustainable communities.

Authors: Trejo-Pech Carlos Omar , Spreen Thomas H. , House Lisa A.
Published: March 2018

This case study provides a thorough description of the U.S. orange juice industry, and focuses on Florida’s Natural, a cooperative of citrus growers and owner of the Florida’s Natural® brand. Florida’s Natural® competes mainly with Tropicana, owned by PepsiCo, and with Minute Maid and Simply Orange, brands of The Coca-Cola Company. The objective of the case is to evaluate the orange juice industry, assess the position of Florida’s Natural within the industry, and propose business actions for the cooperative. By the end of 2016, the orange juice industry was in the midst of a severe crisis, threatened by decreasing supply and changing consumption preferences. Total orange production in the State of Florida during the 2015-16 season was the smallest crop since the 1960s due mainly to a disease known as citrus greening. Marketers were also facing consumers’ concerns regarding high levels of calories and sugar in some juice categories. Furthermore, on May 2016, the Food and Drug Administration mandated a change in the nutrition facts label on packaged food, becoming effective in the summer of 2018, which may impact marketers in the sector.
Some polynomially solvable cases of the inverse ordered 1-median problem on trees
Authors: Nguyen Kien
Published: March 2018

We consider the problem of modifying the edge lengths of a tree at minimum
cost such that a prespecified vertex become an ordered 1-median of the
perturbed tree. We call this problem the inverse ordered 1-median problem on
trees. Gassner showed in 2012 that the inverse ordered 1-median problem on
trees is, in general, NP-hard. We, however, address some situations, where
the corresponding inverse 1-median problem is polynomially solvable. For the
problem on paths with n vertices, we develop an O(n3) algorithm based on a
greedy technique. Furthermore, we prove the NP-hardness of the inverse
ordered 1- median problem on star graphs and propose a quadratic algorithm
that solves the inverse ordered 1-median problem on unweighted stars.
On regular ideals in reduced rings

Published: March 2018

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and X be a Tychonoff space. An
ideal I of R is Von Neumann regular (briefly, regular) if for every a ? I,
there exists b ? R such that a = a2b. In the present paper, we obtain the
general form of a regular ideal in C(X) which is OA, for some closed subset
A of ?X, for which Ac?X ? (P(X))?, where P(X) is the set of all P-points
of X. We show that the ideals and subrings such as CK(X), C?(X), C?(X),
SocmC(X) and M?X\X are regular if and only if they are equal to the socle of
C(X). We carry further the study of the maximal regular ideal, for instance,
it is shown that for a vast class of topological spaces (we call them
OPD-spaces) the maximal regular ideal is OX\I(X), where I(X) is the set of
isolated points of X. Also, for this class, the socle of C(X) is the maximal
regular ideal if and only if I(X) contains no infinite closed set. We also
show that C(X) contains an ideal which is both essential and regular if and
only if (P(X))? is dense in X. Finally it is shown that, for semiprimitive
rings pure ideals are of the form OA which A is a closed subset of Max(R),
also a P-point of X = Max(R) is introduced and it is shown that the maximal
regular ideal of an arbitrary ring R is OX\P(X), which P(X) is the set of
P-points of X = Max(R).
Geometry of warped product pointwise semi-slant submanifolds of Kaehler manifolds
Authors: Ali Akram , Uddin Siraj , Othman Wan
Published: March 2018

In this paper, we study warped product pointwise semi-slant submanifolds of a
Kaehler manifold. First, we prove some characterizations results in terms of
the tensor fields T and F and then, we obtain a geometric inequality for the
second fundamental form in terms of intrinsic invariants. Furthermore, the
equality case is also discussed. Moreover, we give some applications for
Riemannian and compact Remannian submanifolds as well, i.e., we construct
necessary and sufficient conditions for the non-existence of compact warped
product pointwise semi-slant submanifold in complex space forms.
A new expression for the transform with respect to the Gaussian process
Authors: Chang Seung , Chung Hyun , Lee Il
Published: March 2018

In this paper we first introduce the concept of the *w-product. We then
proceed to show that the transform with respect to the Gaussian process for
the functional F can be expressed in terms of the *w-product without the
concept of the transform. We then proceed to obtain several relationships
involving the *w-product.
The n-inverses of a matrix
Authors: Gu Caixing , Keas Heidi , Lee Robert
Published: March 2018

The concept of a left n-inverse of a bounded linear operator on a complex
Banach space was introduced recently. Previously, there have been results on
products and tensor products of left n-inverses, and the representation of
left n-inverses as the sum of left inverses and nilpotent operators was
being discussed. In this paper, we give a spectral characterization of the
left n-inverses of a finite (square) matrix. We also show that a left
n-inverse of a matrix T is the sum of the inverse of T and two nilpotent
matrices.
Strong convergence of the tamed Euler method for stochastic differential equations with piecewise continuous arguments and Poisson jumps
Authors: Yang Huizi , Song Minghui , Liu Mingzhu , Wang Hong
Published: March 2018

In the present work, the tamed Euler method is proven to be strongly
convergent for stochastic differential equations with piecewise continuous
arguments and Poisson jumps, where the diffusion and jump coefficients are
globally Lipschitz continuous, the drift coefficient is one-sided Lipschitz
continuous, and its derivative demonstrates an at most polynomial growth.
Moreover, the convergence rate is obtained.
The assessment of spasticity: Pendulum test based smart phone movie of passive markers
Authors: Aleksic Antonina , Graovac Stevica , Popovic-Maneski Lana , Popovic Dejan
Published: March 2018

The pendulum test is the method for quantification of the level of spasticity
in persons with spinal cord and brain injuries/diseases. The data for the
assessment comes from the analysis of lower leg rotation in the sagittal
plane while sitting caused by gravity. We built a simple instrument that uses
the smart phone and passive markers for studying the pendulum movement of the
leg. We compared the results of the new device with the results acquired with
the conventional apparatus which uses a knee joint angle encoder and inertial
sensors mounted on the upper and lower leg. The differences of parameters
estimated from the test between the two systems are in the range of 5%, which
is in the same range as the precision of the positioning of the pendulum
apparatus on the leg. The new system is simple for the application (donning,
doffing, setup time, accuracy, repeatability) and allows a straightforward
interpretation to a clinician.

PENDIDIKAN MULTIKULTURAL (Telaah Terhadap Sistem Pendidikan Nasional dan Pendidikan Agama Islam)
Authors: Asmuri Asmuri
Published: March 2018

Indonesia is a country which has pluralistic varieties. The varieties can be viewed from two perspectives namely horizontal perspective and vertical perspective. The horizontal perspective covers the varieties of religions, ethnics, local languages, cloth, food and culture. Meanwhile, the vertical perspectives are included as the varieties of level of education, economic, shelters, jobs and the varieties of social – cultural. The varieties of our nation leads us the take into account the importance of multicultural education as an anticipation to the negative social phenomena which possibly derives from the varieties of races and tribes, religions, and varieties of values which exist in the society. The multicultural education can be implemented through learning models substantially by admitting and honoring the cultural diversities.

Indonesia, as many experts mention, has interminable problems of leadership. As a country in which Muslims are the majority, everyone should realize that all are born as a leader who shall have the responsibility upon people’s welfare. But in reality, Indonesians are not wellbeing physically or spiritually. It absolutely defines that a leader should possess leadership knowledge to lead people, not only depend on the God’s will solely. A leader is not an innate. For this purpose, teachers have the responsibility and important role to succeed the educational leadership as earlier as possible. This article is a descriptive discussion which is aimed at describing the roles of teacher as motivator, leader, problem solver and students’ ally in modeling the leadership. The discussion shows that all the four roles of teachers give positive effect in gaining the learning objectives of educational leadership
Configuraciones misóginas: violencias de la representación y fabricación de la maternidad monstruosa
Authors: Duprey Marlene
Published: March 2018

En este texto se elabora sobre la relación que existe entre las transformaciones en las nuevas tecnologías para la reproducción asistida con la activación de nuevas prácticas misóginas en la fabricación de la maternidad monstruosa. Mi reflexión se centra en un estudio de caso: se trata de la representación en los medios de comunicación sobre el cuerpo de Nadya Suleman, una mujer norteamericana que fue el eje de la atención de un tour mediático por someterse a un tratamiento de inseminación artificial, a partir del cual concibió ocho niños en un mismo embarazo, luego de haber tenido otros seis niños concebidos también por este método. Desde entonces fue conocida como “the Octomom” y representada como una mujer monstruosa, como una freak.
Registros visuales de comportamientos y experiencias sociales. Imágenes del ocio femenino en fotografías de la prensa argentina, circa 1930
Authors: Kaczan Gisela Paola
Published: March 2018

En este artículo se propone interpretar comportamientos y experiencias sociales femeninas a partir de una serie de fotografías en el marco de una revista ilustrada de amplia difusión en Argentina, hacia la década de 1930. Se indagará en las prácticas socio-espaciales y corporales de ocio en un balneario de mar, Mar del Plata, al sudeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires. En busca de un acercamiento a las representaciones de género, a los seguimientos o contravenciones en las pautas de lo permitido y a los modos en que se convienen estereotipos sociales, se presentan tres variables de análisis: género, situación cuerpo-espacio y modo de vestir. Para ello, se combinan miradas de carácter cualitativo con el aporte de datos cuantitativos reflejados en el diseño de gráficos de datos.
Effects of propofol on intraocular pressure in premedicated and nonpremedicated dogs with and without glaucoma

OBJECTIVE To establish a study cutoff for evidence of glaucoma on the basis of IOP measurements from a large population of healthy dogs and to assess the effects of IV propofol administration on IOPs in premedicated and nonpremedicated dogs with and without glaucoma defined by this method.

DESIGN Prospective, descriptive study.

ANIMALS 234 client-owned dogs.

PROCEDURES IOPs measured in 113 healthy dogs (226 eyes) were used to calculate an IOP value indicative of glaucoma. The IOPs were measured in an additional 121 dogs (237 eyes) undergoing ophthalmic surgery. Midazolam-butorphanol was administered IV as preanesthetic medication to 15 and 87 dogs with and without glaucoma, respectively. A placebo (lactated Ringer solution) was administered IV to 8 and 11 dogs with and without glaucoma, respectively. Anesthesia of surgical patients was induced with propofol IV to effect. The IOPs and physiologic variables of interest were recorded before (baseline) and after preanesthetic medication or placebo administration and after propofol administration.

RESULTS An IOP > 25 mm Hg was deemed indicative of glaucoma. Compared with baseline measurements, mean IOP was increased after propofol administration in nonpremedicated dogs without glaucoma and unchanged in nonpremedicated dogs with glaucoma. Propofol-associated increases in IOP were blunted in premedicated dogs without glaucoma; IOP in affected eyes of premedicated dogs with glaucoma was decreased after preanesthetic medication and after propofol administration.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that preexisting IOP influences the response to anesthetic drugs, and administration of preanesthetic medication with muscle-relaxing properties may blunt or reduce propofol-induced increases in IOP. Further research with a larger number of dogs is needed to confirm our results in dogs with glaucoma.
