ANALISIS EKSPRESI PROTEIN TLR-9, CD90 DAN VEGF PADA MESENCHYMAL STEM CELL DI JARINGAN TUMOR OSTEOSARKOMA
Authors:   Bagian Biomedik, Fakultas Kedokteran, Universitas Wijaya Kusuma Surabaya, Yuhyi Hernanda Pratika
Published: February 2021

For further investigation on the effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) on tumor / cancer growth, it is necessary to start with tumor MSC profile from tumor / cancer tissue. In this study, we use MSC from osteosarcoma tissue as a representative. The MSC profile analysis method used were the comparing the phenotype and characteristics of MSC fromosteosarcoma tissue with MSC from normal adiposa tissue. The characteristics of MSC were represented by protein expression of several candidate genes namely TLR-9, CD-90 and VEGF. From the results of immunofluorescence staining on adiposa MSC compared withosteosarcoma MSC, it has obviously seen that although the phenotypes were similar, there was no significant difference in CD-90 expression in osteosarcoma MSC and adiposa MSC. Although VEGF expression appears to be slightly prominent in osteosarcoma MSCs, the difference between the two was also not significant. Whereas TLR9 expression is very prominent in osteosarcoma MSC and significantly different from adiposa MSC. Thus TLR9 may be of concern in subsequent studies to investigate the mechanism of MSC triggers tumor growth.
Angst und Sorge vor Demenz (dementia worry)
Authors: Kessler Eva-Marie
Published: February 2021

Durch Medien sowie durch das persönliche soziale Umfeld werden Menschen aller Altersgruppen zunehmend mit dem Thema Demenz konfrontiert. In dem Maße, in dem Demenz ein salienteres Ereignis des täglichen Lebens wird, steigt entsprechend auch die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Individuen Ängste und Sorgen entwickeln, selbst an Demenz zu erkranken. Dass dementia worry (DW) ein weitverbreitetes Phänomen ist, zeigt sich auch in internationalen Survey-Studien. Unsere empirische Forschung untermauert die Konzeptionalisierung von DW bei kognitiv gesunden Personen als Hybridindikator zwischen allgemeiner psychischer Belastung, Krankheitsängsten und allgemeiner Altersangst. Es werden die vorläufigen Ergebnisse einer qualitativen Pilotstudie vorgestellt, der zufolge DW eine Bedrohung des symbolischen Selbst zugrunde liegt. Zur Förderung eines produktiven Umgangs mit DW sind individuelle und sozialkulturelle Maßnahmen notwendig.

Background: Arrhythmias are common in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and contribute to morbidity and mortality. The prevalence, type, and presentation vary depending age and other factors. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of arrhythmias and associated factors in children with CHD in King Fahad Hospital, Al Baha, Saudi Arabia. Methods: This was a hospital-based retrospective cross- sectional study conducted from January 2010 to December 2020. In total, 185 patients, aged 1 day to 14 years, were included. Children with arrhythmias and CHD were included, while those without CHD were excluded. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16.0. Results: Arrhythmias were confirmed in 46 patients (24.86%), while 139 patients (75.14%) had no electrocardiographic abnormalities, 95 % CI (14.12–21.22). Among the arrhythmias, we found that first-degree atrio-ventricular block was the most common and reported in 30 patients (16.21%); atrial tachyarrhythmias in 5 patients (2.7 %); premature ventricular contractions in 4 patients (2.16%); premature atrial contractions in 3 patients (1.62%); sinus bradycardia in 2 patients (1.1%); complete heart block in 1 patient and a prolonged QT interval with severe hypokalemia, ((0.54%) for each. Conclusion: Arrhythmias are common in children with CHD, and early diagnosis and regular follow-up have significant benefits in management. Cardiac surgery, heart failure, digoxin, and electrolyte disturbances were confirmed as risk factors. Article
Investigating the Influence of E-HRM Practices on Organizational Performance: The Mediating Role of Organizational Agility (With Special Reference to Financial Institution)
Authors: A .D .S .Thathsara  , Jayaranjani Sutha
Published: February 2021

Electronic Human Resource Management (E-HRM) came into existence as a result of the evolution of new technology and it leads to eliminating the administrative burden on HR professionals. Financial institutions are the heart of the financial stability of the economy. Nowadays most financial institutions are widely adopting E-HRM practices in order to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. However, it has been observed that there is a lack of empirical studies regarding this phenomenon in the Sri Lankan context. The main contribution of this study is to enrich the knowledge and investigate the impact of E-HRM practices on organizational performance under the mediation role of organizational agility. Thus, the study focusses on to examine how E-HRM impacts organizational performance, and to determine the mediating role of organizational agility between E-HRM and OP. Questionnaires were distributed by using a convenience sampling method to collect primary data from 40 financial institutions in Sri Lanka. Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation analysis, regression analysis, descriptive statistics, Baron and Kenny mediator analysis method, and Sobel test. Results of the analysis indicated that E-HRM practices significantly and positively impact organizational performance while organizational agility mediates the relationship between E-HRM practices and OP. Outcomes of this study provided implications like enhancing available literature, to understand the real impact of E-HRM on organizational performance to HR managers. This study also suggests some further research areas for future research.
Design of Microsleep Alerting System of Pilot to Reduce Air Accidents
Authors: M.S. Prabhu
Published: February 2021

The pilot’s micro sleep often caused by fatigue and/or drowsiness receives increasing attention for the last few years, especially after it became evident that pilot’s micro sleep also one of the major factor causing serious aircraft accidents.

The system comprises EOG, EEG and IR module. EEG measures the electrical activity of the brain called brain wave pattern through intrusive electrodes. EOG tapes the electrical potential of eyeball movements and the IR module senses the eye blink frequency.  Then all these signals are applied to a robust signal processing unit and microcontroller. When an indicating feature corresponds to the micro sleep events are detected, the warning system is activated. This envisioned micro sleep alerting system would continuously monitor the alertness of the pilot and provides immediate warning signal, when micro sleep detected with high certainty.

Published: February 2021

In case of intra-vaginal route of drug administration the dosage form is applied vaginally for the convenient release of the dosage form and for better therapeutic action of the medicament, it is usually used in HIV patients. many conditions that affect the  female reproductive tract, such as , sexually transmitted diseases, fungal & bacterial infections,  cancer and various pathogens such as virus (human immunodeficiency virus, HIV), bacteria (Gardnerella vaginalis), fungi (Candida spp.) or parasites (Trichomonas vaginalis). Systemically active drugs (contraceptive steroids) as well as locally active drugs (metronidazole Zidovudine, Lamivudine) can be effectively delivered for an extended period of time by the help of intra-vaginal  controlled release system. Continuous infusion of drugs through vaginal mucosa results in the reduced possibilities of Hepatic- gastrointestinal first-pass metabolism, gastric impatience of drugs and vacillation of dosing interval. Current study focus on the, use of various polymers which are used in hydrogels, these polymers provide bioadhesive property to the vaginal formulations, so that the vaginal formulation remains on vaginal tissues for 3- 4 days. Currently available vaginal dosage forms have several limitations, such as leakage and messiness necessitating the need to develop novel drug delivery systems.
Assessment of Genetic Diversity of Niger Plant (Guizotia abyssinica L.) in Moiben Sub County, Kenya, Using Inter Simple Sequence Repeat Markers
Authors: Oimbo Lynnete Moraa
Published: February 2021

Niger plant (Guizotia abyssinica), exhibits phenotypic plasticity in different environments. There is need to assess its genetic diversity since guizotia species has a high number of species which may be confused amongst themselves. To achieve this, inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to estimate genetic diversity among 12 wild populations of Niger plant from Moiben sub-county. Total genomic DNA was extracted as per the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (Ctab) method and subjected to ISSR analysis using 20 primers. None of the primers produced unique banding patterns. ISSR data were used to calculate a squared-euclidean distance matrix. All the twenty primers (100%) gave polymorphic bands thus they were all considered for further analysis. The allele frequency of all the primers was below 0.95 indicating that they were all polymorphic in character. Gene diversity was high ranging from 0.3550 to 0.7337 with a mean value of 0.6302. The ISSR based upgma clustering produced four clusters. Niger plant within Moiben sub-county was found to be genetically diverse though heterozygosity was not noticed. The study recommends further analysis of Niger plant so as to form a basis for further development of the plant.

Published: February 2021

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of mulching materials on growth performance, and yield characters of summer squash under water constraint condition during February to May 2020 in Mahottari district, Nepal. Shlesha 1214 variety of summer squash was used and the experiment was laid in single factor Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 4 replications in an area of about 600 m2. Four different mulching materials black plastic mulch, silver on black plastic mulch, rice straw mulch and sawdust mulch were used as treatments, un-mulched plot serving as control. The effect of mulching materials on growth parameters was found to be statistically significant. Plant height, number of leaves per plant and leaf petiole length were the highest in silver plastic mulch. Effect of mulches on days to opening of first male flower had non-significant effect but had the significant effect on days to opening of first female flower, total number of male and female flowers per plant, Sex ratio, Fruit length, Number of fruits per plant, total number of pickings and the yield. Highest yield (72.16 Mt/ha) was recorded with silver plastic mulch and lowest (46.73 Mt/ha) was recorded with saw dust mulch. Highest B:C (3.46) ratio was obtained  from silver plastic mulch and the lowest (1.98) being at saw dust mulch. The use of plastic mulch (plasticulture) mainly silver on black plastic mulch is a better tool for promoting vegetable production in the research area.

EXOC4 is a differentially expressed gene in brain metastatic human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: February 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that exocyst complex component 4, encoded by EXOC4, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. EXOC4 mRNA was present at decreased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of EXOC4 in primary tumors was correlated with patient overall survival. Modulation of EXOC4 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Since April 2020, the COVID States Project has been surveying respondents regarding social distancing behaviors and adherence to health recommendations more generally. Our November report, looking at the data from April to November, with a partial exception of mask wearing, found a steady relaxation of these behaviors over time. In this report, we update our November results, finding that this trend has partially reversed, perhaps due to the surge of COVID-19 cases in the last two months. Mask wearing reached its all-time high in our December/January survey, and social distancing behaviors have substantially increased since October (though still far from April levels).

Rapid delivery of COVID-19 test results are essential for the nation’s pandemic response. Our 50-state survey results reveal that testing times are decreasing, albeit slowly (see Figure 1).1 For respondents whose last nasal swab COVID-19 test was in March, the average result turnaround time was 3.9 days (with a median of 3.0 days); in December, the average time was 2.2 days (median of 2.0 days).2 Unfortunately, racial disparities still exist in testing times; in December, Hispanic and Black respondents waited 0.7 and 0.4 days longer than white respondents, respectively.We also measure respondents’ access to COVID-19 testing by asking, “How many days did you have to wait between the time you decided on a test and the day you were tested?” (Figures 2 and 3). Responses indicate that difficulty in obtaining COVID-19 tests has decreased somewhat, although race and ethnicity matter again: in December, Asian, Hispanic, and Black respondents had to wait 1.5, 1.4, and 0.9 days longer than white respondents (average wait time of 2.0 days) to receive a test.Despite an overall trend of increased access and reduced result times, as of December, the average time between the decision to get tested and the actual test (2.4 days) plus the average time to receive test results after getting tested (2.2 days) remains too long to support effective contact tracing.
Monitoring of heavy metal impacts by small mammals
Authors: Zamani Mojtaba
Published: February 2021

Environment is continuously polluted with various environmental chemicals, released by anthropogenic activities. Therefore, many species and human communities are exposed to a different contaminant such as heavy metals which lead to adverse health effects in both human and other animals. Over the last decades the production of heavy metals in the world areas substantially increased and the subsequent release of these metals into the environment is of some concern. Acute and chronic effects of heavy metals have been reported on different ecosystems and organisms. Protection of human health and the environment from different pollutants such as heavy metals will be resulted by performing environmental monitoring. Bio-indicator species can provide useful information to monitor the quality of the environment, in particular polluted environment. The distributions of heavy metals in the polluted areas are well reflected in the body of small mammals living in the contaminated areas. Small mammals like rodents have interesting features make them popular as a bio-indicator species in different studies. Therefore, small mammals are suggested to apply in monitoring of heavy metals due to large population, wide distribution, and similarity to human in terms of habitat and internal organs, short life spans, and many other characteristics.
Conducting linguistic experiments online with OpenSesame and OSWeb
Authors: Mathot Sebastiaan , March Jennifer
Published: February 2021

In this Methods Showcase, we outline a workflow for running behavioral experiments online, with a focus on linguistic experiments. The workflow that we describe here relies on three tools: OpenSesame/ OSWeb (open source) provides a user-friendly graphical interface for developing experiments; JATOS (open source) is server software for hosting experiments; and Prolific (commercial) is a platform for recruiting participants. These three tools integrate well with each other, and together they provide a workflow that requires little technical expertise. We discuss several challenges that are associated with running online experiments, including temporal precision, the ability to implement counterbalancing, and data quality. We conclude that these problems are real but surmountable, and that in many cases online experiments are a viable alternative to laboratory-based experiments.
Untangling Agile Government: On the Dual Necessities of Structure and Agility
Authors: McBride Keegan , Kupi Maximilian , Bryson Joanna J.
Published: February 2021

Agility has become a common term when it comes to today's discourse on digitalization and government transformation. There is a widely held view that governmental bureaucracy with its laws, regulations, institutions, and `red tape' is unable to keep up with a rapidly changing and digitizing society. It is now often claimed that the solution is for governments to become agile. Along these lines, the resulting discourse on `agile government' posits that government is not agile now, but it could be, and if it were agile then government would be more e?ective, adaptive, and, thus, normatively better. We argue that while agility can represent a useful paradigm in some contexts, it is often applied inappropriately in the governmental context due to a lack of understanding about what `agile' is, and what it is not.

The Social Organization of Community-Run Place: An Analysis of Community Gardens and Crime in Vancouver (2005–2015)
Authors: Koop-Monteiro Yasmin
Published: February 2021

Community gardens can bring many benefits to community members, including access to healthy, affordable foods and opportunities for social interaction. Less certain, however, is their contribution to neighbourhood resilience to crime. To date, few studies have focused on the ability of community gardens – as distinct from other types of green spaces – to promote social organization and reduce local crime. Findings of studies that do so are inconclusive, and at best suggestive of gardens’ crime-deterring effects. The present study spotlights community gardens as unique spaces promoting social capital development and attachment to place, testing the effect of new community gardens in Vancouver, BC. Using neighbourhood census data from 2005 to 2015, the effects of new community gardens, as well as median income, population size, homeownership, and ethnic diversity, on property crime are assessed with multilevel modeling. The results show significant negative effects of median income, population size, and new community gardens on crime, with the addition of just one garden reducing neighbourhood crime by approximately 49 counts, and with increases in population size (by 1,000 individuals) and median income (by CAD$1,000) lowering crime by 48 and 34 counts, respectively.

Published: February 2021

The understanding of the behavior of each cultivar under adverse climatic conditions is important in the choice of plants that best fit the region to be inserted. Due to the large number of cultivars available on the market it makes it difficult for producers to choose which material to plant. In view of the above, this study aimed to know the morphophysiological characteristics of coffee. The experimental design was in randomized blocks with 10 treatments, that is, arabic coffee varieties: Catuai IAC62; Catuai IAC99; Ouro IAC4397; Tupi RN IAC1669-13; Obatã IAC1669-20; Mundo Novo IAC379-24; Mundo Novo IAC 388-17-2; Mundo Novo SH3 Faz São José; Bourbon IACJ15 and Icatu IAC 2944-11 and with four replications totaling 40 plots, where each plot was composed of seven plants. The Mundo Novo IAC 388-17-2 coffee variety shows higher yield in the seventh year of cultivation. Variety of Bourbon IACJ15 coffee presented water use efficiency (EUW) which did not reflect in higher productivity. The Catuai V IAC99 arabica coffee variety stood out in the internal morphology of the leaves. The thickness of the adaxial and abaxial epidermis (TADE and TABE) and the CO2 assimilation rate (A) showed negative correlations with the productivity of processed coffee bags.

Authors: Aucar Bruna Santana , Cabral Thais Dias Delfino
Published: February 2021

Este trabalho analisa a transformação do indivíduo na narrativa, por meio de uma comparação entre Orgulho e Preconceito (1813), de Jane Austen, e a adaptação The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (2013). Partindo do princípio que as obras de Austen permitem a compreensão de sensibilidades humanas, observam-se as (dis)similaridades em torno da performance do indivíduo no livro e na série digital. Para tanto, empreende-se uma revisão do conceito de “indivíduo” em Simmel (1998), Dumont (2000) e Ariès (2009).
