(Title: Description and Presentation of Characters in The News in The Case of e-KTP in National Press Perspective). This study aims to describe the presentation of figures in the e-KTP case news discourse involving Setya Novanto. The research design used is a qualitative descriptive study with a critical discourse analysis perspective, especially the Fairclough model (1995: 58). The data source of this research is the news about the e-KTP case involving Setya Novanto in Kompas, Republika, and Media Indonesia. The data collection technique was done by observing and taking notes. The validity of the data used in this study were content validity and pragmatic semantics. The reliability of this study uses an intrarater and discussions with peers. Based on the results of the analysis, several things were found related to the description of the characters in the e-KTP case. The representation of the identity of the actors in the e-KTP case is presented in different ways in each media. In these three media, only Republika tends to be more detailed and complete in representing the character (the identity of the perpetrator). The depiction of identity begins with the mention of the perpetrator's name, position, wife, children, nephews, and religion. Kompas puts more emphasis on facts relating to the perpetrators. Not everything related to the perpetrator is revealed. Meanwhile, Media Indonesia is more focused on the involvement of other actors.Keywords: the e-KTP case, Setya Novanto, national press perspective

Authors: Junaedi Deni , Wicaksono Satrio Hari
Published: May 2021

Estetika closure merupakan nilai estetis yang diambil dari psikologi persepsi. Kaidahnya menyatakan bahwa persepsi seseorang akan menutup kekurangan bentuk agar menjadi bentuk utuh sebagaimana yang biasa dikenali. Nilai estetis ini dapat diaplikasikan untuk penciptaan lukisan cat air dengan efek-efeknya. Penelitian ini dijalankan dengan mempraktikkan penciptaan lukisan cat air di luar studio menggunakan estetika closure. Objek lukisan digolongkan menjadi dua jenis, yaitu objek terintegrasi dan objek disintegratif. Objek terintegrasi merupakan objek yang unsurnya merupakan satu kesatuan yang cenderung tidak terpisahkan; objek disintegratif adalah kebalikannya. Penghilangan elemen pada objek integratif dilakuakan dengan cara tidak melukiskan bagian tertentu dari kesatuan objek yang dipilih; sementara pada objek disintegratif dapat dilakukan dengan menghilangkan bagian tertentu dari tiap elemen yang ada. Bagian yang dihilangkan dapat diisi dengan efek cat air, baik efek wet on wet, cipratan, lelehan, maupun efek yang lain. Penelitian ini penting untuk pendidikan seni pada tingkat institut. Kata Kunci: Lukisan, cat air, estetika closure WATERCOLOR PAINTING ON CLOSURE AESTHETICSAbstract: Closure aesthetics is an aesthetic value based on perceptual psychology. The principle is perception will close reduced shapes for completing the whole shapes as they usually appear. This aesthetic value can be applied for creating watercolor paintings, especially on watercolor effects. This study is conducted by practicing outdoor paintings based on closure aesthetics. There are two kinds of painting objects, i.e. integrated objects and disintegrated objects. Elements of integrated objects tend uniting so cannot separate; contrary, the ones of disintegrated objects are easily to distract. Hiding of elements in integrated objects is by ignoring some sides of the objects; meanwhile, for disintegrated objects, it is by ignoring some side of elements of the objects. The hidden elements or hided sides are applied by watercolor effects, such as wet on wet, splashing, melting, and other effects. This research is important for education in an institute of art. Keywords: painting, watercolor, closure aesthetics

Carotenoids are natural pigment compounds with a variety of colors. They are antioxidants and boost the immune system. It is interesting to examine strains of bacteria capable of producing carotenoids applied in the food industry, animal feed, and aquaculture. Rach Gia bay of Kien Giang province has a good ecosystem, and the carotenoid-producing microorganisms in these regions are very plentiful. However, there are fewer studies about them in this region. This study was conducted to isolate and select carotenoids-producing Bacillus from Hon Son islet of Rach Gia bay. Seashore saline soil and seawater samples were shocked at 65°C in 1 hour and plated on Difco sporulation medium. Colored colonies of bacteria were selected and incubated at 37°C on Difco sporulation medium. Pigments from these isolates were extracted in the mixture of methanol and chloroform (with the ratio 1:2 of v/v). The extracted solutions were scanned absorbance by spectrophotometer at the wavelength range from 400 to 600 nm. Bacterial isolates were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing. Twenty carotenoid-producing bacterial species were isolated, including five colony colors such as pale yellow, yellow, yellow-orange, pale pink, and pink. They were Gram-positive, positive - catalase test, motile, and endospore-forming. The results of extracted solutions from 20 bacterial species indicate that all the extracts have absorbance from 400-600 nm, this is the popular absorbance of carotenoids. Two high-carotenoid-producing species (HS3-7 and HS8-3) were analyzed the 16S rRNA gene sequence. They were showed high similarity with Bacillus vietnamensis species Marseille-P799 and Bacillus infantis species NRRL B-14911,...

Published: May 2021

Background: The therapy for stage IIB cervical cancer according to FIGO is concurrent chemoradiation. The neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical hysterectomy is an alternative therapy to improve the survival rate of cancer patients. Cervical cancer is mainly caused by the infection of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which contains protein E6 and E7 that downregulate the apoptotic function of p53. The absent of p53 wild-type and the present of p53 mutation play roles on the cervical cancer pathogenesis.Objective: To analyze the association between the expression of mutant p53 to the stage IIB cervical cancer operability after neoadjuvant chemotherapyMethod: This study was a prospective cohort, using 40 of 67 patient who met eligibility criteria. The parafin block from cervical tissue were processed for immunohistochemical staining of p53 using Anti-mutant p53 antibody [Y5] ab32049, Abcam, USA. Two study groups were assessed as: 1) weak and 2) strong expression of mutant p53 expression after neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on H-score. Both group (weak and strong) were comparable in term of mutant p53 expression. In this study, the evaluation of operability was performed clinically. Age, BMI, histopathology, grade of differentiation, and regiment were also evaluated as the external variables. Chi square test, and logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results and Discussion: The rate of cervical cancer operability after chemotherapy was 19 out of 40 (47.5%). The strong expression of mutant p53 was observed in 6 subjects (15%). There was no significant association between weak vs strong expression of mutant p53 to the operability of the cancer (RR 1.5, CI 95% 0.46-4.88, p 0.45). Multivariate analysis showed that combination (50 mg/m2 dan 5 fluorourasil 450 mg/m2) was significantly correlated the operability (OR 7.02, CI 95% 1.27-40.07,  p 0.03).  Conclusion: The expression of mutant p53 not correlate with operability after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, but combination  regiment was.Keywords: expression of mutant p53, stage IIB of cervical cancer, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, operability

Published: May 2021

Latar Belakang: Periode pascasalin merupakan masa yang penting untuk memulai kontrasepsi, namun masih kurang dimanfaatkan, utamanya untuk penggunaan IUD pascasalin. Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh penggunaan IUD pascasalin hanya 14,06% dari keseluruhan metode kontrasepsi pascasalin. Angka seksio sesarea meningkat signifikan akhir-akhir ini, mencapai 29,6% di Indonesia. Peningkatan angka seksio caesarea (SC) tidak diikuti peningkatan penggunaan IUD pascasalin. Padahal peluang penggunaan IUD pascasalin pada persalinan abdominal/seksio sesarea lebih besar. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara metode persalinan dengan penggunaan IUD Pascasalin di RSUD Panembahan Senopati. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik dengan desain cross sectional atau potong lintang, sampel penelitian diambil dari pasien yang melahirkan di RSUD Panembahan Senopati, data dikumpulkan dengan metode wawancara. Uji Chi square dan prevalence ratio dipakai untuk analisis statistika. Hasil dan Pembahasan: Penelitian ini melibatkan 260 subyek, 161 (61,92%) persalinan vaginal dan 99 (38,08) SC. Total pengguna IUD pascasalin sebanyak 128 (49,23%). Persalinan SC memiliki hubungan bermakna dengan penggunaan IUD pascasalin (p 0,000; PR 1,49; CI 1,19-1,89).  Faktor lain yang mempengaruhi penggunaan IUD pascasalin secara bemakna adalah riwayat penggunaan metode kontrasepsi jangka panjang (MKJP) sebelumnya (p 0,002; PR 1,68; CI 1,38-2,06), adanya asuransi Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) (p 0,038; PR 1,71; CI 1,04-2,80), dan konseling (p 0,000; PR 2,84; CI 1,85-4,35). Alasan terbanyak subyek menolak penggunaan IUD pascasalin adalah takut efek samping (35%). Kesimpulan: Penggunaan IUD pascasalin lebih tinggi secara bermakna pada seksio sesarea dibandingkan persalinan vaginal. Faktor lain yang mempengaruhi penggunaan IUD pascasalin secara bermakna adalah riwayat penggunaan MKJP, adanya asuransi JKN dan konseling. Kata Kunci: IUD pascasalin; metode persalinan; angka pemasangan; persalinan vaginal, SC

Background: According to data from the "Endometrial Cancer Report" by the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRFI), endometrial cancer is the sixth most common malignancy in the world and is the largest cancer in female organs, after cervical cancer. This incidence is increasing every year, it is predicted to increase about 5% of new cases each year. The main prognostic factors of endometrial cancer are determined by the histological type, stage, degree, differentiation of the tumor, invasive myometrial level and increase in lympho-vascular invasion. In addition to determining the histopathological factors, the prognosis is also determined from the clinical patient. Several studies have shown certain clinical factors also improve the condition and prognosis of the disease. Prognosis of this disease with the quality of life of patients becomes an interesting topic to discuss. Besides that quality of life is also a measure of therapeutic success. The better the prognosis of a disease, the better the quality of life, the higher the success rate of therapy (Greimel, 2010).Objective: To know correlation between clinicohistopathological and quality of life in patients with endometrial cancer after undergoing surgery at Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta.Method: The research is analytic with cross sectional approach. Patients with endometrial cancer who have undergone total hysterectomy and bisalpingoophorectomy surgery are assessed for their quality of life through interviews and filling out questionnaires in the EORTC QLQ-C 30 and QLQ-EN 24 modules.Results and Discussion: This study, most people with endometrial cancer aged 55-65 years were 34 people (42%) and diagnosed after menopause with a range of age >55 years as many as 43 people (53.1%). This study cannot prove the hypothesis that age, parity, body mass index, type of histopathology and KGB involvement have a relationship with the quality of life of cancer patients (p >0.05). But in contrast to the stage of early cancer (OR 3.17, p=0.044 (CI 95% 1.03-9.75)) and good and moderate differentiation (OR 4.471, p=0.023 (CI 95% 1.23-16.24)) have a significant relationship with quality of life.Conclusion: Clinicohistopathological factors (cancer stage and tumor differentiation) have a correlation with the quality of life at patients with postoperative endometrial cancer in  Sardjito Hospital Keywords: Endometrial cancer; clinicohistopathological factors; quality of life

Miocene tectonic deformation of central Japan- Paleomagnetic evidence of intra-arc bending
Authors: Takahashi Masaki
Published: May 2021

Estudios paleomagnéticos recientes en la montaña de la región de Kanto, en el centro de Japón han revelado un movimiento en el sentido del movimiento de las manecillas del reloj, del ala este de la estructura flexionada de terrenos geológicos pre-Neógeno. Una rotación de las montañas mencionadas, de más de 90° en el sentido señalado, tuvo lugar entre 15 Ma y 6 Ma. En contraste, el suroeste e Japón y la parte este (área de Nohi) han rotado en el mismo sentido entre 47° y 13°-17° aproximadamente a los 15 Ma, respectivamente. Esta rotación diferencial representa una deformación intra-arco durante el Mioceno. Por otra parte, las investigaciones de campo revelan que el arco Izu-Bonin se ha venido colisionando contra el Japón central desde el Mioceno Medio. De acuerdo con los resultados paleomagnéticos que se muestran, acompañados de estudios geológicos en el Japón central, se puede concluir que una reflexión lateral ocurrió entre 15 Ma y 6 Ma en asociación con la colisión entra las islas Japonesas en deriva hacia el sureste y el arco Izu-Bonin que migra hacia el noreste.

Published: May 2021

Como parte de las investigaciones iniciales del Programa UNAM de Perforación de la Estructura de Impacto de Chicxulub se han realizado mediciones de propiedades magnéticas en el material colectado en el pozo exploratorio UNAM-7, que está localizado a 126 kilómetros del centro de la estructura, al sureste del Puerto de Chicxulub, en el municipio de Tekax (unos 2.5 km del centro de Tekax en dirección a Ticum). De la descripción inicial del material se ha identificado el contacto entre la secuencia carbonatada y las unidades de brecha a una profundidad de 222.2 m. En el intervalo adyacente al contacto, entre los 207 y los 215.2 m se observan horizontes de calizas arcillosas y entre los 215.2 y los 222.2 m se tiene la presencia de yesos y anhidritas. La unidad de brecha puede separarse en dos unidades mayores. La unidad superior se caracteriza por abundancia de clastos de rocas de basamento. La unidad inferior está caracterizada por abundantes clastos de anhidrita e intercalaciones de horizontes anisotrópicos de evaporitas. Los contrastes en susceptibilidad magnética permiten diferenciar y caracterizar las diferentes litologías. Los contrastes más marcados se encuentran asociados al contacto entre las calizas arcillosas y horizonte de evaporitas y la brecha polimíctica. La susceptibilidad es alrededor de -1 a 0x10-6 SI entre 210 y 222 m y se incrementa a valores entre 1 y 15x10-6 SI en el siguiente intervalo hasta 226 m. Después de este intervalo transicional se tienen valores que fluctúan alrededor de un nivel de alrededor de 50-l00x10-610 SI, dentro de la unidad superior de brechas. El registro de susceptibilidad magnética permite identificar tres intervalos con valores mayores de susceptibilidad de hasta 550-1100x10-6 SI, a los 244 m, 264 y 277 m y dos intervalos de anhidritas a los 237-239 m y 250 m. El registro de susceptibilidad refleja el porcentaje de clastos de basamento (o de carbonatos) presente en la brecha. El paso a la unidad de brecha con abundancia de clastos de evaporita está caracterizado por el cambio de valores de alrededor de 55x10-6 SI a valores entre -1 y 0x10-6 SI, el cual se presenta entre los 348.4 y 350.5 m. Debido a la naturaleza heterogénea de la brecha ha sido difícil estimar datos promedio de susceptibilidad magnética para el modelado de las anomalías magnéticas. Los datos para el UNAM-7 permiten un análisis estadístico de la susceptibilidad magnética. El espesor de la brecha con susceptibilidad de 55x10-6 SI es de 126.2 m.

Published: May 2021

By means of the box counting method we calculate the fractal dimension D of the distribution of faults, fractures and lineaments in a region of the southern Mexican Pacific coast. The results suggest that in the spatial sense the b-value of the Gutenberg-Richterlaw and the fractal dimension are positively correlated. We also suggest that D depends on the depth of the seismogenic zone.
Normal faulting in the Pathé geothermal area, Central Mexico
Authors: Martínez Miguel Carrillo
Published: May 2021

El campo geotérmico de Pathé está localizado en una secuencia volcánica del Mioceno Tardío al Plioceno en una región de fallamiento normal activo. Estas fallas se agrupan en dos tendencias de dirección aproximada NS y cercana a la EW. El grupo EW es la extensión meridional de la semifosa tectónica de Aljibes cuya falla maestra es curva con un desplazamiento vertical compuesto de 480 m. El desplazamiento somero es hasta de 70 m, y el fallamiento EW está generalmente localizado a lo largo de un área semielíptica de 34 km constituida por una meseta basáltica y conos cineríticos. El fallamiento NS define la fosa tectónica de San Francisco, con desplazamientos verticales de alrededor de 30 m, incrementándose hasta 180 m en el subsuelo. Estas rocas Neógenas están intrusionadas por numerosos diques de dirección EW y troncos de rumbo NS. Producción de vapor generalmente ocurre en la zona de intersección de la parte oriental de la fosa tectónica de San Francisco con el fallamiento EW. Fuentes hidrotermales activas están localizadas sobre una de las fallas de rumbo EW. Alteraciones hidrotermales a lo largo de segmentos de fallas y fracturas sugieren actividad hidrotermal antigua.

Authors: Marín Luis E. , Pérez Xyoli , Rangel E.
Published: May 2021

El error obtenido de una nivelación de un circuito de cuatro kilómetros realizado dentro del campus de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México fue calculado utilizando tres técnicas diferentes, nivel, barómetro de mano y GPS de mano para determinar su exactitud y costo-beneficio para estudios hidrogeológicos. El polígono fue nivelado una vez utilizando el nivel y el barómetro, y dos veces con el GPS. Los errores en la vertical utilizando estas técnicas fueron de 17mm, 13 metros y 114 metros, para el nivel, barámetro y GPS, respectivamente. De las tres técnicas empleadas, la primera continúa siendo la más cara. Sin embargo, de acuerdo con el margen de errores, continúa siendo el método más exacto, por lo cual es el método sugerido, a pesar de su alto costo (de las tres técnicas comparadas).

Published: May 2021

Se presenta el análisis espectral para las principales características hidrometeorológicas en la región del lago de Chapala: temperatura del aire, precipitación, evaporación, presión atmosférica, viento, nivel del lago y volumen del flujo de los ríos. Las series de tiempo se agruparon con una igual discretización y duración. Usando métodos lineales y no lineales del análisis espectral (máxima entropía y máxima verosimilitud) se identificaron los principales periodos en el rango de días a décadas, obteniendo estimaciones de las amplitudes medias cuadráticas. Se discuten las causas físicas de las oscilaciones, así como las relaciones internas entre las fluctuaciones de diferentes parámetros hidrometeorológicos. Se discuten las causas de las grandes variaciones en el nivel del lago y en los brotes periódicos del lirio acuático.

Authors: Steinich Birgit , Bocanegra Gerardo , Sánchez Eva
Published: May 2021

El acuífero costero de Acapetahua, Chiapas, en el sureste de México, consiste en una unidad hidroestratigráfica compuesta de sedimentos continentales con un basamento cristalino. Se realizaron veinticuatro sondeos de resistividad y se tomaron cincuenta y una muestras de agua con el fin de determinar las características básicas del acuífero, como son la geometría del acuífero y sus reservas de agua dulce. La topografía del basamento se caracteriza por cumbres y valles profundos. La profundidad al basamento varía entre unos pocos metros y varios cientos de metros. Los altos del basamento se encuentran a lo largo de la línea costera, a distancias entre 4 y 15 km de la costa, reduciendo considerablemente el espesor del acuífero. La zona de transición entre agua salada y agua dulce coincide en el espacio con los altos del basamento, que representan actualmente el límite del acuífero de agua dulce hacia la costa. Con base en la geometría del acuífero de Acapetahua determinada con los modelos de resistividad, y considerando los valores de sólidos totales disueltos de las muestras de agua, el volumen máximo de poros saturados de agua dulce fue estimado en 75 km3.

Authors: Nami Hugo G.
Published: May 2021

Se reporta información paleomagnética de tres secciones sedimentarias de la misma localidad en el oeste de California (EE.UU.). Las direcciones del magnetismo remanente natural (MRN) obtenidas en 61 especímenes orientados de tres muestreos detallados, mostraron que algunos registraron componentes magnéticas diferentes a las del campo geomagnético normal actual. La magnetización remanente característica (MRC) fue determinada por desmagnetización progresiva térmica y por campos alternos. El análisis de las muestras indicó que éstas registraron MRC de polaridad oblicua normal, oblicua reversa y reversa durante el Holoceno Medio. Los VGP transicionales muestran algunas coincidencias con los registrados durante el Holoceno Temprano y Medio en México central y los de la posible excursión observada en otras áreas de los Hemisferios norte y sur.
Balancing the Interests of Justice: The Case of Afghanistan in The International Criminal Court (ICC)
Authors: Desyana Siti , Christianti Diajeng , Dewi Chloryne
Published: May 2021

The interests of justice are criteria of the requirements under Article 53 of the Rome Statute to open a formal investigation of a case. However, it can be misinterpreted due to its lack of clear scopes and standards. The Afghanistan case highlighted this obscurity when The Pre-Trial Chamber (PTC) decided that the case should not proceed due to the interests of justice despite lacking negative determination from the Prosecutor, and the Appeals Chamber (AC) overturned this decision by excluding the interests of justice from proprio motu cases. This article verifies the limitations of the criteria in international criminal law (ICL) through the interpretation of the Rome Statute. In addition, it includes the other ICC’s supporting documents and the application to previous cases. This study is of the position that, in the Afghanistan decision, the PTC had overstepped their authority and made an arbitrary decision. The AC had misinterpreted the conjunction between Article 53(3) and Article 15(4) by excluding requirements under Article 53 from proprio motu cases. Based on the opinion, the interpretation on the interests of justice to ensure the criteria still valid as a balancing mechanism under the Rome Statute is very urgent.
Strategic Lawsuit against Public Participation (SLAPP): A Legal Based Threat to Freedom of Expression
Authors: Riyadi Eko , Hadi Sahid
Published: May 2021

There are still many attempts to silence freedom of expression in Indonesia. One of the ways to silence the freedom of expression in Indonesia is Strategic Lawsuit against Public Participation (SLAPP). This study analyzed at least three SLAPP cases in Indonesia: (1) the case of Prita Mulyasari vs. the Omni International Alam Sutera Hospital in Tangerang; (2) the case of Budi Heryawan as known as Budi Pego; and (3) the case of Nur Alam vs. Basuki Wasis. This study proposed two questions. First, what is the pattern and portrait of SLAPP in Indonesia? Second, how is the analysis of human rights law on the use of SLAPP in Indonesia? This normative legal research is a case-based research. It uses the case, conceptual, and statutory approaches with qualitative data. The study concludes that SLAPP in Indonesia is used against people who fight for their rights, who defend their selves against human rights abuses committed by third parties, and to experts whose testimonies are used by a court. The representation shows that SLAPP is an effort to shift the problem from the real perpetrator to the victim. The SLAPP puts the victim in a high-risk position; drains and distracts the victim; and postpones problem-solving. Second, the SLAPP is an act that contradicts and/or has an adverse impact on freedom of expression. Courts must be present to affirm that the state takes sides to protect freedom of expression.
Hydrogeological control of the thermal regime of a sub-alpine headwater stream
Authors: Roesky Benjamin , Hayashi Masaki
Published: May 2021

Stream thermal regimes are critical to the stability of freshwater
habitats. There is growing concern that climate change will result in
stream warming due to rising air temperatures, decreased shading in
forested areas due to wildfires, and changes in streamflow. Groundwater
plays an important role in controlling stream temperatures in mountain
headwaters, where it makes up a considerable portion of discharge. This
study investigated the controls on the thermal regime of a headwater
stream, and the surrounding groundwater processes, in a catchment on the
eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Groundwater discharge to
the headwater spring is partially sourced by a seasonal lake. Spring,
stream, and lake temperature, water level, discharge and chemistry data
were used to build a conceptual model of the system. Meteorological data
was used to set up a stream temperature model. A tracer test was carried
out to estimate hyporheic exchange along the study reach. This study
presents a unique example of an indirectly lake-headed stream i.e.,
where the interaction of groundwater and lake water, and the hydraulic
gradient determine the resulting stream temperature. Energy balance of
the stream is mainly controlled by radiation. Sensible and latent heat
fluxes play a secondary role, but their effects generally cancel out.
Hyporheic exchange is present but plays only a minor role in the energy
balance. During snowfall events, the latent heat associated with melting
of direct snowfall onto the water surface was responsible for rapid
stream cooling. An increase in advective inputs from groundwater and
hillslope pathways did not result in observed cooling of stream water
during rainfall events. The results from this study will assist water
resource and fisheries managers in adapting to stream temperature
changes under a warming climate.
Comparative immunopathogenesis and biology of recently discovered porcine circoviruses
Authors: AGM Rakibuzzaman , Ramamoorthy Sheela
Published: May 2021

Porcine circoviruses are important pathogens of production swine.
Porcine circovirus type 1 (PCV1) is non-pathogenic, and discovered as a
contaminant of a porcine kidney cell line, PK-15. The discovery of
pathogenic variant, PCV2, occurred in the late 90’s in association with
post-weaning multi-systemic wasting disease syndrome (PMWS), which is
characterized by wasting, respiratory signs and lymphadenopathy in
weanling pigs. A new PCV type, designated as PCV3, was discovered in
2016, in pigs manifesting porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome
(PDNS), respiratory distress and reproductive failure. Pathological
manifestations of PCV3 Infections include systemic inflammation,
vasculitis and myocarditis. A 4 PCV type, PCV4, was
identified in 2020 in pigs with PDNS, respiratory and enteric signs. All
the pathogenic PCV types are detected in both healthy and morbid pigs.
They cause chronic, systemic infections with various clinical
manifestations. Dysregulation of the immune system homeostasis is a
pivotal trigger for pathogenesis in porcine circoviral infections. While
the study of PCV3 immunobiology is still in its infancy lessons learned
from PCV2 and other circular replication-associated protein
(Rep)-​encoding single stranded(ss) (CRESS) DNA viruses can inform the
field of exploration for PCV3. Viral interactions with the innate immune
system, interference with dendritic cell function coupled with the
direct loss of lymphocytes compromises both innate and adaptive immunity
in PCV2 infections. Dysregulated immune responses leading to the
establishment of a pro-inflammatory state, immune complex associated
hypersensitivity, and the necrosis of lymphocytes and immune cells are
key features of PCV3 immunopathogenesis. A critical overview of the
comparative immunopathology of PCV2 and PCV3/4, and directions for
future research in the field are presented in this review.

Published: May 2021

Objective: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is usually a complication of deep
vein thrombosis and is an important cause of mortality and morbidity.
Vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D) is a secretory protein
that plays a role in the remodeling of blood vessels and the lymphatic
system. This study aimed to determine the relationship between VEGF-D
level and clinical risk scoring in patients with PE. Methods: The study
included 117 patients admitted for PE that were divided into 4 groups:
high-risk patients (n=35), high-intermediate-risk patients (n=30),
low-intermediate-risk patients (n=24), and low-risk patients (n=28).
Plasma VEGF-D was measured from peripheral venous blood samples (5 cc)
using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit.
Pulmonary Artery Obstruction Index (PAOI) was calculated from CT
angiography imaging. Results: VEGF-D levels in the low-risk PE group
differed significantly from those in the high-intermediate and high-risk
groups (p=0.001 for both) but not from that in the low-intermediate-risk
PE group (p=0.155). There was no significant difference in troponin-I
and NT-proBNP levels between the high-intermediate-risk and high-risk PE
patients, whereas VEGF-D levels differed significantly (p=0.134,
p=0.146, p=0.016). VEGF-D level was moderately correlated with mean
pulmonary artery pressure and PAOI (r=0.481, p=0.01; r=0.404, p=0.01).
In ROC curve analysis, a cut-off of 370.1 pg/ml for VEGF-D had 91.4%
sensitivity and 67.4% specificity in the differentiation of
high-intermediate-risk and high-risk PE patients. Conclusion: This study
showed that plasma VEGF-D level was more reliable than troponin-I and
NT-proBNP in clinical risk scoring and demonstrating thrombus burden.
VEGF-D can be used as a biomarker in clinical risk scoring and
estimation of thrombus burden in patients with acute PE.
Discussing a challenging document focused on Land Use: The first bibliometric analysis of Laudato Si’
Authors: Mourao Paulo , Martinho Vitor
Published: May 2021

We live challenging times on several levels, and in this context the
second encyclical, Laudato Si’ (LS), of Pope Francis, published in 2015,
has provided a special challenge for academics. As Pope Francis
suggested in 2015, societies are challenged to modify the paradigms of
life to achieve more sustainable development. LS has quickly become a
widely quoted document, even by academics. This paper is the first
bibliometric research about LS aiming to analyze this encyclical and
explore several works published about LS between 2015 and 2020.To this
end, we studied all documents published in the Web of Science Core
Collection (238) and Scopus (222) about the topic “Laudato Si” in
depth and analyzed them using bibliometric methods. The results show
that there are scientific fields focused on studying LS in particular,
namely Religious Sciences and the fields of Sustainability and
Environment Studies. We also observed a small amount of networking among
the authors publishing about LS.
Ultra-deep catalytic adsorptive desulfurization of diesel fuel using Ti-silica gel adsorbent at low Ti-loading
Authors: Dong Lei , Dai Xiong , Peng Chong , Yang Cuiting , Chen Shibin , Miao Guang , Li Zhong , Xiao Jing
Published: May 2021

In this work, the effective ultra-deep catalytic adsorptive
desulfurization (CADS) using Ti-silica gel adsorbent at low Ti loading
range (< 1%) was investigated. The superior CADS capacity
(37.3 mg-S/g-A) and high TOF value (432 h-1) for dibenzothiophene (DBT)
were achieved at 0.6% of Ti loading with high dispersion and low Ti
coordination. The catalytic oxidation of DBT conformed to the
pseudo-first-order kinetic model, and the corresponding rate equation
was well described as , where the TiOOR is determined as the
intermediate to enable the DBT oxidation to the corresponding sulfone
(DBTO2). The effectiveness of CADS using Ti-SG was verified in various
real low-sulfur diesels with varied sulfur concentrations and O/S ratios
in the dynamic fixed-bed adsorption and multi-cycle regenerations. This
work provides insights on using low-cost bifunctional catalytic
adsorbents at low Ti loading for effective CADS to realize ultra-deep
desulfurization of transportation fuels.
