Authors: Sağır Ceren , Everest Zekiye Ayşe , Keleş Yüksel
Published: June 2018

The antioxidant compounds of plants have widely been investigated for the purpose of medical and industrial uses due to their aroma, color, smell and protective properties. In the study, 16 species from Lamiaceae and 14 species from Poaceae were collected from the Northeastern Mediterranean region and then they were analysed. The dry weight and water conditions of the plant samples were identified. It was identified that there wasn’t a significant difference between these two families in respect to their values of chlorophyll and carotene. The mean xanthophyll content was higher in the Lamiaceae species (236 μg g-1 FW) than in the Poacea species (142 μg g-1 FW) and total antioxidative capacity was higher in Lamiacea species (5.19 mg g-1 FW) than Poaceae species (3.49 mg g-1 FW). On the other hand, mean soluble phenolics were measured as 1.83 mg g-1 FW in Poaceae species and 1.67 mg g-1 FW in Lamiaceae species. Superoxide dismutase enzyme activity was higher in Poaceae species. The findings revealed that significant differences could exist among the families and further comparative studies should be performed for the determination of the biochemical resources.

Published: June 2018

Craterellus cornucopioides (L.) Pers which is also known as trumpet of death or horn of plenty, is a wild edible macrofungus. This study was conducted to elucidate the potential health beneficial properties of C. cornucopioides. Bioactive ingredients (phenolics, flavonoids, β-carotene and lycopene) and DPPH radical scavenging activities were determined. Additionally, cell growth inhibitory effects on HepG2 cells together with some bacteria were evaluated. Accordingly, water and methanol extracts contains 37.71±1.42 μg/mg and 13.78±1.60 μg/mg phenolic contents, respectively. Similarly, methanolic extracts have higher β-caroten and lycopene content as compared to aqueous extracts. In parallel with these antioxidants, methanolic extracts have also higher DPPH scavenging activity (IC50: 5.26±0.67 mg/ml). Besides, water extracts have higher flavonoid contents (2.13±0.06 μg/mg) then the methanolic extracts. C. cornucopioides has also an important cell growth inhibitory effects on HepG2 cell (IC50: 18.41±1.10 mg/ml for aqueous extracts and IC50: 3.14±1.07 mg/ml for methanolic extracts). Moreover, both extracts were effective on six different bacteria tested. As a result, this study indicates that C. cornucopioides could reduce the cellular oxidative stress because of its high antioxidant ingredients, inhibit the growth of pathogen microrganisms and have some degree of cell growth inhibitory potential at least to the HepG2 cells.

Authors: Fairuzova Anzhela Rasulevna , Lopatina Elena Valentinovna , Kurochkina Tat'yana Avramovna
Published: June 2018

The article analyzes the semantics of the second components of generalized negation ( thing, body and one) in the English language. The research findings indicate that the polysemantic noun thing can undifferentiatedly designate the notion “thing” - an inanimate object and an animate being. The linguistic unit body has a narrower sphere of usage in comparison with the word thing. Semantics of the lexeme one is associated with the category of quantity and the individual’s separation from the surrounding world. Without naming a concrete object, these nouns serve to create a basis, around which certain features form.

This paper is a case study entitled “Fund Management System of mobile Infaq and alm boxesin Pasar 45Manado”. This research was conducted using observationsin the area of Pasar45 Manado.Data were collected through observations and interviewswith the carriers of infaq boxes, the dwellers in Pasar45Manado, and people in charge of the infaq boxes management, as well as documentation. The approach used is juridical and sociological. This research aims (1) to understand the fund management system of theinfaqand almboxesspread around Pasar45, and the management by which collectors collect all of theinfaqand almboxes. Once the collectors collected the donation, they gave them to the mosque’s management who would divide the fund into two parts:40 percent for the collectors and the restis allocated for the construction of mosques and others. This research also seeks (2) to describe how people view the fund management system ofinfaq and alms boxes collected around Pasar45Manado. This research shows that most people seem to disfavor these alms and infaq collection due to the unstructured fund management. We need to understand that the infaq and alms boxes run by collectors every Friday to ask for a donation is a noble deed when the funds is channeled and addressed to the appropriate places orpeople or those who are in need. This action would certainly benefit the Muslim community.The funds will help to reduce poverty in Manado as well as in other areas. Yet sometimes the fund would not be donated entirely to the mosque but it goes to two divisions as previously mentioned

Why the EU and NATO have failed to manage the Russia-Ukraine Crisis?
Authors: Berger Alexander
Published: June 2018

The world observed a well-developed Russian strategy and military model have had destabilizing consequences and wide-ranging implications for international security, in particular for Europe, and global stability since the Ukraine crisis. Needless to say, most European countries and notably NATO conclude that Russian policy, military strategy, and military practice in the Ukraine crisis challenge the European security and carry significant implications for NATO, therefore the Ukraine crisis force the EU and NATO to concentrate on measures against Russian strategy.[1] In reality, Russia has already given the signals of its intentions via the Military Doctrine 2010 and Defense Strategy 2013 that list destabilization of the near abroad, in other words buffer zone, and NATO or the EU expansion, including deployment of military forces, as most relevant military threats. Both documents highlight that “Russia faced the very real threat of being side-lined in international affairs.” [2] Furthermore MacKinnon suggests that in line with its new regime change strategy, the United States forced the former Soviet Union’s member states to establish their political institutions, provided funds for the opposition, and supported revolutions in Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan. Thus, the revolutions added to the Kremlin’s perception that “Washington’s chief objective might have been to change the regime in Russia as well.”[3] Likewise, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said “NATO’s expansion by pulling more Russia’s neighboring countries into the alliance is unacceptable”.[4] Therefore it could be concluded from Russian point of view that everything should be done to prevent NATO and the EU expansion which can be characterized as the greatest threat to Russian security, and that’s why Russia must restore its status as a great power inside its own sphere of influence. It is the aim of this analytic paper to search why the EU and NATO have failed to manage the crisis emanating from Russian aggression and expansion in Ukraine, and to address the current strategic environment as well. I shall try to analyze the drivers and the reasons of NATO and the EU’s poor reaction against Russia, and finally I will emphasize why and how the roles of NATO and the European Security Strategy should be reconsidered in the light of energy security policy of the EU, and why NATO and the EU needs to improve their responsiveness rather than readiness.
Post-Daesh Challenges for Europe
Authors: Sultan Onur
Published: June 2018

Daesh is about to lose the whole territory it holds in Syria and Iraq once as big as the UK. The Salafi jihadist organization, ruling over 6 million population with an army of 30.000 in 2015, had benefited from sectarian and ethnic tensions and imposed its ideology to recruit and attract more than 40.000 foreign terrorist fighters from across the globe. The question that keeps busy most European capitals currently is; “What awaits Europe after Daesh loses all territory it controls?” The answer to this question will help show the next steps to neutralize its negative effects. Within the scope of this study, the trends shaping the flow of events have been studied to prescribe four future scenarios. Accordingly, the first scenario foresees that Daesh will revert gradually to terrorism from its proto-statehood. The second foresees that as long as it holds a social base, Daesh will survive and pose a real threat for Europe in the foreseeable future though in decreasing intensity. The third finds its transformation to a “Virtual Caliphate” a low probability. The fourth and last scenario finds the possibility of its replication in one of its eight provinces a small chance. At the end of each scenario policy recommendations have been made to reverse those trends.

Published: June 2018

A investigação criminal para ser desenvolvida com o máximo de eficácia necessita de um norte orientador. Não é, por conseguinte, suficiente, em que pese necessária, a mera práxis investigativa criminal, sendo imprescindível uma abordagem científica através de um método que conduzaos trabalhos investigativos. Uma solução pragmática e metodológica para tal mister é a aplicação do Ciclo do Esforço Investigativo Criminal (CEIC) que aborda a situação-problema do crime perpetrado desde o seu nascedouro, quando ainda representa uma notitia criminis, passandopela busca e coleta de dados da realidade fática que traduzam evidências do delito, bem como seu estudo e análise, até o estabelecimento dos elementos probatórios que retratem a autoria, materialidade e circunstâncias delituais. Com efeito, aplicando o CEIC o investigador criminal otimizará o seu labor investigativo e terá condições de melhor enfrentar a problemática da infração penal materializada no tecido social.
ROLE OF SUBSTRATE BINDING ON THE PROTEIN DYNAMICS OF AN ENDOGLUCANASE FROM FUSARIUM OXYSPORUM AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES
Authors: AHMAD ABDUL AZIZ , Salleh Hamzah Mohd. , NOORBATCHA IBRAHIM ALI
Published: June 2018

: Thermostability is an important requirement for protein function, and one goal of protein engineering is improvement of activity of the enzymes at higher temperatures, particularly for industrial applications. Computational approaches to investigate factors influencing thermostability of proteins are becoming researchersâ€™ choice. This study investigates the influence of substrate binding on the protein dynamics by comparing the molecular dynamics simulations of substrate-enzyme complex against un-bound enzyme, using endoglucanase I from Fusarium oxysporum. Endoglucanase-substrate complex was prepared by docking and molecular dynamics simulations were carried out at three different temperatures, 313 K, 333 K and 353 K. Our finding shows that the secondary structures for substrate-enzyme complex show more fluctuations relative to un-complexed structure. The same trend was observed for solvent accessible surface area and radius of gyration. At the highest temperature studied (353 K), the substrate-enzyme complex form showed the highest fluctuations. The fluctuations around the active site regions reach a minimum at the optimum temperature, compared to the other structural regions and other temperatures.

ABSTRAK: Kestabilan (ketahanan) terhadap haba merupakan keperluan yang penting untuk fungsi protin, salah satu matlamat kejuruteraan protin adalah penambahbaikan aktiviti enzim pada suhu yang tinggi khususnya untuk aplikasi industri. Kini para penyelidik memilih kaedah komputasi, bagi mengkaji faktor yang mempengaruhi kestabilan terhadap haba. Kajian ini menyelidik pengaruh ikatan substrat pada protin dengan membandingkan simulasi molekular dinamik diantara substrat-enzim kompleks dan enzim sahaja, menggunakan endoglucanase I dari Fusarium oxysporum. Kompleks endoglucanase-substrat disediakan melalui kaedah docking dan simulasi molekular dinamik dilakukan pada suhu 313 K, 333 K dan 353 K. Kajian kami menunjukkan struktur sekunder bagi substrat-enzim kompleks kurang stabil berbanding enzim sahaja. Pola yang sama bagi luas permukaan boleh dicapai pelarut (SASA) dan jejari gyrasi. Pada suhu tertinggi dikaji (353 K), substrat-enzim kompleks paling tidak stabil. Pada suhu optimum, kadar ubah-ubah sekitar amino asid aktif adalah minimum berbanding struktur dan suhu lain.

Islam Sebagai Paradigma Pendidikan Moral Universal
Authors: Rumina Rumina
Published: June 2018

Islam mengatur kehidupan manusia sesuai dengan norma-norma Islam yang fundamental. Yaitu bahwa umat manusia dalam konsepsi ke Islaman mempunyai kewajiban yang sama dihadapan Tuhan tidak membedakan suku,bangsa,ras atau identitas yang lainnya. Maka dari itu Islam mempunyai pandangan yang sangat luas terhadap manusia, alam dengan menerapkan nilai spiritual dalam seluruh konsep kemanusiaan dan alam. Nilai-nilai pendidikan moral sangat penting artinya bagi kedamaian alam semesta. Itulah sebabnya konsep kenabian Muhammad diarahkan kepada suatu rahmat bagi alam semesta ini.Islam berpandangan bahwa manusia adalah makhluk Tuhan yang mendapat legalitas menjadi khalifah dibumi yaitu mengemban amanah untuk memakmurkan alam dan melestarikanya yang dikemas dalam kerangka “ibadah”kepada Allah. Dan  konsep pendidikan moral universal dalam paradigma Islam adalah dalam kerangka mengembangkan  kekhalifaan manusia yang mempunyai fungsi untuk menyelamatkan alam semesta dengan menghargai nilai-nilai kemanusiaan manusia. Pada era modern sesuatu yang sifatnya lokal,regional ataupun mungkin nasional bisa memudar, terutama yang berkaitan dengan hal-hal yang sifatnya moral. Pada era modern hegemini modernitas menjadi sangat kuat karena jiwa manusia yang miskin terhadap nilai-nilai. Pada saat itu manusia mempunyai sikap yang mendua (ambivalen). Dalam konteks ini pendidikan moral universal diperlukan untuk membina manusia agar bisa hidup dalam control nilai yang berlaku secara universal. Control yang sifatnya lokal maupun regional akan terhambat oleh hegemoni nilai-nilai modernitas. Oleh karena itu pendidikan moral universal yang tidak terpengaruh oleh hegemoni apapun harus bisa dikembangakan dalam era modrn. Sedangkan nilai pendidikan tidak ada yang bersifat universal selain dari Islam. Bagi umat Islam juga perlu mengembangkan pendidikan Islam ini, terutama dengan mengedepankan aspek nilai universal Islam. Nilai-nilai yang selama ini menjadi penghambat tumbuhnya persatuan dan kesatuan masyarakat,perlu segera dihilangkan. Sikap egaliter perlu semakin ditingkatkan,kesadaran hidup dalam perbedaan pandangan perlu dikembangkan pula.sehingga dapat dikembangkan manusia yang lebih mengedepankan aspek humanism.

This study aims to determine the effect of aloe vera juice (absorbent) on the quality of cooking oil. Both types of oil are used to fry up to five times the frying pan to fry the tempeh weighing 1000 grams at a temperature of 180C. Furthermore, the oil that has been used up to five times the frying recycled again, by clarifying it using aloe vera juice. To determine the quality of oil used parameters of viscosity, specific gravity, refractive index, and free fatty acids. From the results of the research, it is found that the longer the number of fryers resulted in decreased oil quality. This can be seen from the increase in the number of parameters measured ie the viscosity, density, free fatty acid and decrease in the number of refractive index parameters. After the purification using aloe vera juice, the quality of oil is getting better. It is characterized by the decrease of viscosity, density and free fatty acid.

A Gene Expression Signature Predicts Bladder Cancer Cell Line Sensitivity to EGFR Inhibition
Authors: Goodspeed Andrew , Jean Annie , Theodorescu Dan , Costello James C.
Published: June 2018

Background:

Bladder cancer remains a cancer type in need of novel and alternative therapies. While multiple inhibitors of EGFR have been evaluated for efficacy in bladder cancer, the results have largely been disappointing with few patients responding to these therapies. Yet, there is a subset of patients that positively responds to EGFR inhibition with tumor shrinkage, indicating it is an effective treatment for a targeted set of bladder tumors.

Objective:

To derive a gene expression signature capable of predicting the response to EGFR inhibition in bladder cancer cell lines.

Methods:

he response to cetuximab for 68 colorectal cancer patients was used as training data to generate a gene expression signature. We applied this signature to bladder cancer cell lines and predictions were compared to the responses to seven EGFR inhibitors.

Results:

A novel 67-gene signature derived from colorectal cancer was able to significantly identify bladder cancer cell lines by their response to several EGFR inhibitors.

Conclusions:

The 67-gene signature can determine bladder cancer cell line sensitivity to EGFR inhibition. This work demonstrates a preclinical strategy to identify bladder cancer cell lines for EGFR-targeted therapy.
Investigation of the radiotherapy-related changes in the eye lens using computed tomography entropy analysis
Authors: Kurtul Neslihan , Yurttutan Nursel , Baykara Murat
Published: June 2018

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of this study was to apply texture analysis to investigate whether there was a change in the lens following radiotherapy.

PATIENTS AND METHOD:

Patients who received radiotherapy (RT) for head and neck cancer or brain tumor were enrolled. Computed tomography (CT) images taken in the last month before RT and the most recent images after RT were compared. Entropy values were calculated using lens attenuation values. The lens doses were obtained from the dose-volume histogram data.

RESULTS:

A total of 55 lenses were evaluated. The mean Hounsfield Unit value of the lenses was 66.14±12.16 before RT and 72.02±9.12 after RT ( p = 0.007). The mean entropy value was 1.87±0.31 before RT and this reduced to 1.31±0.34 after RT ( p < 0.001), respectively. As time increased, the difference in entropy also increased ( p = 0.007). A correlation close to statistical significance was determined between the entropy difference and minimum, maximum and mean lens radiation dose ( p = 0.052, p = 0.052, p = 0.063, respectively). The entropy difference was significantly reduced in the >4 Gy group ( p = 0.046).

CONCLUSION:

Study results indicated that the entropy values in the lens were signifcantly changed after radiotherapy and the degree of the change associated with dose and time.
Encoding of Emotional Valence in Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) Calls

Published: June 2018

Measuring emotions in nonhuman mammals is challenging. As animals are not able to verbally report how they feel, we need to find reliable indicators to assess their emotional state. Emotions can be described using two key dimensions: valence (negative or positive) and arousal (bodily activation or excitation). In this study, we investigated vocal expression of emotional valence in wild boars (Sus scrofa). The animals were observed in three naturally occurring situations: anticipation of a food reward (positive), affiliative interactions (positive), and agonistic interactions (negative). Body movement was used as an indicator of emotional arousal to control for the effect of this dimension. We found that screams and squeals were mostly produced during negative situations, and grunts during positive situations. Additionally, the energy quartiles, duration, formants, and harmonicity indicated valence across call types and situations. The mean of the first and second formants also indicated valence, but varied according to the call type. Our results suggest that wild boars can vocally express their emotional states. Some of these indicators could allow us to identify the emotional valence that wild boars are experiencing during vocal production and thus inform us about their welfare.
Turning Uridines around: Role of rRNA Pseudouridylation in Ribosome Biogenesis and Ribosomal Function
Authors: Penzo Marianna , Montanaro Lorenzo
Published: June 2018

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is extensively edited through base methylation and acetylation, 2′-O-ribose methylation and uridine isomerization. In human rRNA, 95 uridines are predicted to by modified to pseudouridine by ribonucleoprotein complexes sharing four core proteins and differing for a RNA sequence guiding the complex to specific residues to be modified. Most pseudouridylation sites are placed within functionally important ribosomal domains and can influence ribosomal functional features. Information obtained so far only partially explained the degree of regulation and the consequences of pseudouridylation on ribosomal structure and function in different physiological and pathological conditions. This short review focuses on the available evidence in this topic, highlighting open questions in the field and perspectives that the development of emerging techniques is offering.
Cutting to the Chase: How Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 Activity Controls Breast-Cancer-to-Bone Metastasis
Authors: Tauro Marilena , Lynch Conor
Published: June 2018

Bone metastatic breast cancer is currently incurable and will be evident in more than 70% of patients that succumb to the disease. Understanding the factors that contribute to the progression and metastasis of breast cancer can reveal therapeutic opportunities. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteolytic enzymes whose role in cancer has been widely documented. They are capable of contributing to every step of the metastatic cascade, but enthusiasm for the use of MMP inhibition as a therapeutic approach has been dampened by the disappointing results of clinical trials conducted more than 20 years ago. Since the trials, our knowledge of MMP biology has expanded greatly. Combined with advances in the selective targeting of individual MMPs and the specific delivery of therapeutics to the tumor microenvironment, we may be on the verge of finally realizing the promise of MMP inhibition as a treatment strategy. Here, as a case in point, we focus specifically on MMP-2 as an example to show how it can contribute to each stage of breast-cancer-to-bone metastasis and also discuss novel approaches for the selective targeting of MMP-2 in the setting of the bone-cancer microenvironment.

Published: June 2018

Earthquakes and ambient vibrations can cause serious problems for cultural heritage objects; consequently, preserving these objects against mentioned sources of vibration has received more attention in recent years. To address this problem, in this paper, inerter is used to overcome the deficiency of a vibration isolator in the lower frequency range and performance of this passive device is evaluated experimentally. Specifically, first, the scaled model of an actual isolator and statue is presented. This structure has been designed and manufactured based on the results of a performance test, which has been performed on a famous statue of Michelangelo Buonarroti: Pieta Rondanini. In order to improve the performance of the isolator, a ball-screw type inerter has been designed and manufactured in this research. This device is introduced to the scaled structure and its effect on the dynamic behavior of the isolator is checked using a sine sweep vibration test. The experimental tests were performed on a shaking table in the horizontal direction. Then, the effectiveness of inerters on the dynamic behavior of the isolation system is demonstrated. It is shown that the isolator equipped with the manufactured inerters has better performance in the lower frequency range.
Modeling, Trim Analysis, and Trajectory Control of a Micro-Quadrotor with Wings
Authors: Dawkins Jeremy , DeVries Levi
Published: June 2018

This paper presents the modeling, control design, and efficiency analysis of a micro-quadrotor aerial vehicle with airfoils. We derive the equations of motion for a micro-quadrotor (length 0.15 m and mass 0.03 kg) outfitted with two symmetric airfoils that generate lift during forward transit. A trim analysis is presented to determine nominal flight conditions. Analysis of the model facilitates design of a controller that stabilizes the modified quadrotor through transitions from hover to forward fixed-wing flight. The performance of the design and control approach is analyzed through a series of typical flight profile simulations. The controller is able to track a velocity trajectory in the presence of aerodynamic uncertainties. The simulations are also used to determine the efficiency of the aircraft compared to a standard quadrotor. Results suggest that, during forward flight, the airfoils result in up to a 35% energy savings depending on the aspect ratio and forward speed of the vehicle. Added airfoil weight, however, causes a 45% energy loss during hover. These results indicate that the neutral benefit speed is in the range 3–5 m/s depending on the aspect ratio of the airfoil, which is suggestive of mission flight profiles that best utilize the added benefit of airfoils on a micro-quadrotor.
