Quantum Dots and Applications
Authors: Han Chang-Yeol , Kim Hyun-Sik , Yang Heesun
Published: February 2020

It is the unique size-dependent band gap of quantum dots (QDs) that makes them so special in various applications. They have attracted great interest, especially in optoelectronic fields such as light emitting diodes and photovoltaic cells, because their photoluminescent characteristics can be significantly improved via optimization of the processes by which they are synthesized. Control of their core/shell heterostructures is especially important and advantageous. However, a few challenges remain to be overcome before QD-based devices can completely replace current optoelectronic technology. This Special Issue provides detailed guides for synthesis of high-quality QDs and their applications. In terms of fabricating devices, tailoring optical properties of QDs and engineering defects in QD-related interfaces for higher performance remain important issues to be addressed.

Published: February 2020

In this work, a CuCe alloy was prepared using a directional solidification method at a series of withdrawal rates of 100, 25, 10, 8, and 5 μm/s. We found that the primary phase microstructure transforms from cellular crystals to cellular peritectic coupled growth and eventually, changes into dendrites as the withdrawal rate increases. The phase constituents in the directionally solidified samples were confirmed to be Cu2Ce, CuCe, and CuCe + Ce eutectics. The primary dendrite spacing was significantly refined with an increasing withdrawal rate, resulting in higher compressive strength and strain. Moreover, the cellular peritectic coupled growth at 10 μm/s further strengthened the alloy, with its compressive property reaching the maximum value of 266 MPa. Directional solidification was proven to be an impactful method to enhance the mechanical properties and produce well-aligned in situ composites in peritectic systems.

Published: February 2020

Background: In gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), pancreatic β-cell breakdown can result from a proinflammatory imbalance created by a sustained level of cytokines. In this study, we investigated the role of specific cytokines, such as B-cell activating factor (BAFF), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and platelet-activating factor (PAF), together with methylglyoxal (MGO) and glycated albumin (GA) in pregnant women affected by GDM. Methods: We enrolled 30 women whose inflammation and metabolic markers were measured at recruitment and after 12 weeks of strict dietetic therapy. We compared these data to the data obtained from 53 randomly selected healthy nonpregnant subjects without diabetes, hyperglycemia, or any condition that can affect glycemic metabolism. Results: In pregnant women affected by GDM, PAF levels increased from 26.3 (17.4–47.5) ng/mL to 40.1 (30.5–80.5) ng/mL (p < 0.001). Their TNF-α levels increased from 3.0 (2.8–3.5) pg/mL to 3.4 (3.1–5.8) pg/mL (p < 0.001). The levels of methylglyoxal were significantly higher in the women with GDM (p < 0.001), both at diagnosis and after 12 weeks (0.64 (0.46–0.90) μg/mL; 0.71 (0.47–0.93) μg/mL, respectively) compared to general population (0.25 (0.19–0.28) μg/mL). Levels of glycated albumin were significantly higher in women with GDM (p < 0.001) only after 12 weeks from diagnosis (1.51 (0.88–2.03) nmol/mL) compared to general population (0.95 (0.63–1.4) nmol/mL). Conclusion: These findings support the involvement of new inflammatory and metabolic biomarkers in the mechanisms related to GDM complications and prompt deeper exploration into the vicious cycle connecting inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic results.

Published: February 2020

Background: The present study aimed to examine the relations between body image dissatisfaction (BID) and psychological distress variables among bariatric surgery candidates from two distinct cultures in Israel and in the United States. Methods: A sample of consecutive pre-surgical bariatric candidates was recruited from a Bariatric Center in Israel (N = 114) and a Bariatric Center in the Unites States (N = 81). Body image dissatisfaction (BID-BSQ8), suicidal ideation (SBQ-R), depressive symptoms (PHQ-9), anxious symptoms (PHQ-7), and emotional eating behaviors (EES), were measured. Mediation models were assessed using path analysis. Results: BID was positively correlated with suicidality, depression, and anxiety in both samples. The relations between BID depression and anxiety were mediated by emotional eating in both cultures. However, the relation between BID and suicidality that was mediated by emotional eating in the Israeli sample, was reflected in a direct link between BID and suicidality in the US sample. Conclusion: Our findings confirm the adverse effect of BID on psychological distress among surgery candidates in both cultures, emphasizing the intercultural similarities related to emotional eating behavior. Physicians and other health professionals are encouraged to be more attentive to this specific behavior.

Published: February 2020

The prevalence of obesity in asthmatic children is high and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. We have previously reported that weight loss leads to improvements in lung function and asthma control in obese asthmatic children. The objectives of this secondary analysis were to examine: (1) changes in diet quality and (2) associations between the baseline subject characteristics and the degree of weight loss following the intervention. Twenty-eight obese asthmatic children, aged 8–17 years, completed a 10-week diet-induced weight loss intervention. Dietary intake, nutritional biomarkers, anthropometry, lung function, asthma control, and clinical outcomes were analysed before and after the intervention. Following the intervention, the body mass index (BMI) z-score decreased (Δ = 0.18 ± 0.04; p < 0.001), %energy from protein increased (Δ = 4.3 ± 0.9%; p = 0.002), and sugar intake decreased (Δ = 23.2 ± 9.3 g; p= 0.025). Baseline lung function and physical activity level were inversely associated with Δ% fat mass. The ΔBMI z-score was negatively associated with physical activity duration at baseline. Dietary intervention is effective in achieving acute weight loss in obese asthmatic children, with significant improvements in diet quality and body composition. Lower lung function and physical engagement at baseline were associated with lesser weight loss, highlighting that subjects with these attributes may require greater support to achieve weight loss goals.

Published: February 2020

The present study investigated the associations between frailty status and (a) daily protein intake, (b) daily body weight-adjusted protein intake, (c) branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) consumption, (d) evenness of protein distribution across main meals, (e) number of daily meals providing at least 30 g of protein, and (f) number of daily meals providing at least 0.4 g protein/kg of body weight in community-dwelling older adults. The relationship between frailty status and protein-related dietary parameters was explored across different frailty assessment tools. Two hundred older adults were enrolled in the study. Participant frailty status was determined according to a modified Fried’s frailty phenotype (mFP), the FRAIL scale, and the Study of Osteoporotic Fracture (SOF) index. Diet was assessed by 24-h dietary recall, while diet composition was estimated using a nutritional software. A frailty instrument-dependent relationship was observed between frailty status and protein-related dietary parameters. Protein consumption was associated with frailty status only in participants identified as frail according to the mFP. In addition, protein and BCAA intake was found to be greater in robust and pre-frail participants relative to their frail counterparts. Our findings suggest that the association between frailty and protein-related dietary parameters is tool dependent. Specifically, protein and BCAA consumption appears to be lower only in older adults identified as frail by the mFP.
Short-Term Caloric Restriction Attenuates Obesity-Induced Pro-inflammatory Response in Male Rhesus Macaques

Published: February 2020

White adipose tissue (WAT) hypertrophy is an essential hallmark of obesity and is associated with the activation of resident immune cells. While the benefits of caloric restriction (CR) on health span are generally accepted, its effects on WAT physiology are not well understood. We previously demonstrated that short-term CR reverses obesity in male rhesus macaques exposed to a high-fat Western-style diet (WSD). Here, we analyzed subcutaneous WAT biopsies collected from this cohort of animals before and after WSD and following CR. This analysis showed that WSD induced adipocyte hypertrophy and inhibited β-adrenergic-simulated lipolysis. CR reversed adipocyte hypertrophy, but WAT remained insensitive to β-adrenergic agonist stimulation. Whole-genome transcriptional analysis revealed that β3-adrenergic receptor and de novo lipogenesis genes were downregulated by WSD and remained downregulated after CR. In contrast, WSD-induced pro-inflammatory gene expression was effectively reversed by CR. Furthermore, peripheral blood monocytes isolated during the CR period exhibited a significant reduction in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines compared to those obtained after WSD. Collectively, this study demonstrates that short-term CR eliminates an obesity-induced pro-inflammatory response in WAT and peripheral monocytes.
Natural Magnesium-Enriched Deep-Sea Water Improves Insulin Resistance and the Lipid Profile of Prediabetic Adults: A Randomized, Double-Blinded Crossover Trial
Authors: Ham Ji Yeon , Shon Yun Hee
Published: February 2020

Previous in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that the antidiabetic effect of balanced deep-sea water (BDSW) works through the suppression of hyperglycemia and improvement of glucose tolerance. Based on these promising results, we conducted an eight week randomized, double-blinded crossover trial of the effects of BDSW in prediabetic adults. The subjects consumed 440 mL of BDSW (hardness 4000) per day, and maintained an otherwise normal lifestyle and diet throughout. Efficacy assessments were made by measuring fasting glucose, postprandial glucose, fasting insulin, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), C-peptide, glycosylated hemoglobin, lipid metabolism indicators, and physical metrics, along with safety assessments. Fasting insulin and HOMA-IR values of the BDSW group were significantly lower than those of the placebo group after eight weeks of BDSW ingestion. Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein–cholesterol were also significantly decreased in the BDSW group after eight weeks of BDSW ingestion compared with the placebo group. There were no statistically and clinically meaningful changes in adverse events, physical examination, laboratory medicine examination, or vital signs of the BDSW intake group. These results suggested that the intake of BDSW in prediabetic adults can improve glucose metabolism and lipid profiles and is safe for human consumption.

Published: February 2020

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is prevalent throughout the world and has caused great economic losses to the swine industry. Nonstructural protein 10 (nsp10) is a superfamily 1 helicase participating in multiple processes of virus replication and one of the three most conserved proteins in nidoviruses. Here we report three high resolution crystal structures of highly pathogenic PRRSV nsp10. PRRSV nsp10 has multiple domains, including an N-terminal zinc-binding domain (ZBD), a β-barrel domain, a helicase core with two RecA-like domains, and a C-terminal domain (CTD). The CTD adopts a novel fold and is required for the overall structure and enzymatic activities. Although each domain except the CTD aligns well with its homologs, PRRSV nsp10 adopts an unexpected extended overall structure in crystals and solution. Moreover, structural and functional analyses of PRRSV nsp10 versus its closest homolog, equine arteritis virus nsp10, suggest that DNA binding might induce a profound conformational change of PRRSV nsp10 to exert functions, thus shedding light on the mechanisms of activity regulation of this helicase.

Pengelolaan irigasi adalah salah satu faktor pendukung utama bagi keberhasilan pembangunan pertanian terutama dalam rangka peningkatan serta perluasan tujuan pembangunan pertanian dari program swasembada beras menjadi swasembada pangan. Pemerintah telah mencanangkan pokok-pokok pembaharuan kebijaksanaan pengelolaan irigasi, petani pemakai air sesuai dengan hakekat  pembangunan dari, oleh dan untuk masyarakat agar pokok-pokok pembaharuan kebijaksanaan pengelolaan irigasi tersebut dapat mencapai sasaran tepat guna. Adanya pergeseran nilai air, dari sumberdaya milik bersama (public goods) yang melimpah dan dapat dikonsumsi tanpa biaya, menjadi sumberdaya ekonomi (economic goods) yang mempunyai fungsi sosial; terjadinya kerawanan ketersediaan air secara nasional; adanya persaingan pemanfaatan air antara irigasi dengan penggunaan oleh sektor-sektor lain; dan konversi lahan beririgasi untuk kepentingan lainnya, memerlukan adanya kebijakan. Kebijakan pengelolaan irigasi yang efektif, sehingga keberlanjutan sistem irigasi dan hak-hak atas air bagi semua pengguna dapat terjamin. Mengingat irigasi tidak terlepas dari pengelolaan sumberdaya air secara keseluruhan, maka reformasi kebijakan dalam bidang keirigasian harus dilaksanakan secara simultan dan konsisten dengan reformasi pengelolaan sumberdaya air secara keseluruhan. Kata Kunci : isu, pembaharuan, irigasiIrrigation management is one of the main supporting factors for the success of agricultural development, especially in the context of increasing and expanding agricultural development goals from rice self-sufficiency to food self-sufficiency. that the Government has set out the principles of renewal of irrigation management policies, water user farmers in accordance with the nature of the development of, by and for the community that the principles of renewal of irrigation management policies can achieve effective targets. There is a shift in the value of water, from abundant public goods resources that can be consumed without cost, to economic resources that have social functions; the occurrence of national water availability insecurity; competition over water use between irrigation and use by other sectors; and conversion of irrigated land for other purposes, requires an effective irrigation management policy, so that the sustainability of the irrigation sistem and the rights to water for all users can be guaranteed. Since irrigation is inseparable from the overall management of water resources, policy reforms in the field of irrigation must be carried out simultaneously and consistently with reforms in the management of water resources as a whole. Keywords: issues, renewal, irrigation

Fish is an example of perishable food. To prevent fish from deteriorating quickly, proper handlingis required during storage to extend the shelf life, among other things, one of which is by the addition ofpreservatives. the extension of food shelf lives, people often misused formaldehyde as a foodpreservative. Formaldehyde itself is banned for use as food ingredients as it may be harmful to humanhealth, such as irritation of the stomach, its carcinogenic properties (causing cancer), and may bringabout death.This was an experimental study using one group pretest-posttest design to investigate the effectof soaking water on the reduction of formaldehyde levels in cobs. There were 48 samples in 6replications of each treatment group. The dependent variable in this study was the formaldehyde levelsin cobs and the independent variables was the type of soaking water (tap water, hot water attemperature of 50 DCand 5% vinegar), soaking were exercised for 30 minutes. The data were analyzedusing paired t test and Anova test.The result showed that all three types of soaking water were able to reduce levels of formaldehydein cobs, where tap water reduced formaldehyde level by 53.7% at p < a (0.05), hot water attemperature of 50 DCreduced formaldehyde level by 62.6% at p < a (0.05), and vinegar 5% reducedformaldehyde level by 42.4% at p < a (0.05). The Anova test between treatment groups indicated thatsoaking water resulted in a value of p > a (0.05)It can be concluded that types of soaking water have no effect on the reduction of formaldehydelevel in cobs. However, there were significant differences in reduction of formaldehyde level before andafter the soaking treatment. The stydy suggested that further research needs to be conducted on otherfish samples using different concentration of soaking water and soaking time.

Organic fertilizer is fertilizer made from organic materials such as leaves, twigs, and livestock manure sobetter keep the soil fertile than inorganic fertilizers . One form of organic fertilizer is granule shapedfertilizers. Among the materials that can be made into organic fertilizer epidermal skin of soy generated byhome industries producing soybean cakes. The protein content of soybean epidermal skin is good for plantgrowth. The purpose of this research is to utilize soybean skin into fertilizer granules.This study followed a pre-experimental Post Test Only Design involving measurement after treatments.Data collection was performed by measurements and laboratory testing . Data were analyzed descriptivelyin reference to the Minister of Agriculture decree No.28 I Permentan I SR.130 /2009.Results of the study especially on the examination of the C / N ratio was 14.40 and water content ofgranular fertilizer was 24.80 % . It was pointed out that these results were not in accordance with the theMinister of Agriculture Regulation No.28 / Permentan/ SR.130/ 2009 on Minimum Technical RequirementsOrganic Fertilizer. Reduction of the C / N ratio was caused by the composting process that run longer.That's becausethe decomposition processeswere uneven that impacted on the finished compost . Fertilizercan still be used as a soil conditioner as the C I N ratio was in accordance with the regulations on theMinimum Technical Organic Soil conditioners but it requires additional drying so that the water content ofthe fertilizer falls within the standard that is 4-15 % .It is recommended especially for the owner of a home industries to process soybean husks into fertilizer foradditional earnings and incomes. Farmers should start getting used to using organic fertilizers inagriculture. Future researchers should perform aeration during the composting process so that compost canmature completely perfectly and evenly . Educational institutions may use results of this study as aninnovative practice, especially in the areas of soil health and waste management
