Gentrificación rururbana. Estudios territoriales en La Florida (Manizales- Villamaría) y Cerritos (Pereira) Colombia
Authors: Nates Cruz Beatriz , Velásquez López Paula Andrea
Published: July 2019

Nuestro interés es la gentrificación rururbana en los bordes rural-urbanos. Lo que llamamos tercer territorio se materializa en un cuadro de vida urbano en lo rural, marcado por residencias, equipamientos y servicios urbanos que allí se establecen. Este fenómeno es una explosión en términos del hábitat, que va en detrimento ambiental y poblacional con serias implicaciones para el ordenamiento territorial rururbano. Metodológicamente recurrimos al método descriptivo a través de observaciones y entrevistas que brindan elementos para una etnografía territorial. En el análisis utilizamos la concepción local de las dinámicas territoriales y la normativa del ordenamiento territorial vigente. Los resultados presentan dos olas de población con cuadros de vida diferentes que se fueron asentando en estos lugares: neorurales entre las décadas de los 70 y los 80 con formas de vida tendientes a lo rural y urbanitas en el campo entre finales de los años 90 y 2010 con formas de vida básicamente urbanas. Lo que constituye la gentrificación rururbana es el precio del suelo rural tazado como urbano, el impacto residencial y las infografías territoriales o marcas en el paisaje, que ocasionan una intempestiva transformación territorial sin que haya ediado una planificación de los gobiernos locales.
De la demanda a la prefiguración. Historia del derecho a la ciudad en América Latina
Authors: Minuchin Leandro
Published: July 2019

El artículo presenta un aporte para trazar una historia conceptual del derecho a la ciudad en América Latina. Partiendo de una lectura crítica de la obra de Lefebvre, el ensayo reconstruye los marcos teóricos que acompañaron las actualizaciones prácticas del derecho a la ciudad en la región. El artículo abarca un periodo que se abre con la publicación del texto de Lefebvre en 1968 y se cierra con el declive de la “nueva izquierda” latinoamericana. Se argumenta que, durante este lapso, el derecho a la ciudad asume tres grandes configuraciones, en las que las apropiaciones colectivas y las traslaciones a la esfera de las políticas públicas son acompañadas por desplazamientos teóricos singulares. En una primera instancia movimientista, el derecho a la ciudad es utilizado para describir formas de acción colectiva atravesadas por el problema de la vivienda y la injusticia espacial. En una segunda configuración, signada por la apropiación institucional-burocrática del término, se transfiguran las proposiciones conceptuales presentadas por Lefebvre y se posiciona al derecho a la ciudad como significante vacío y marco para articular políticas públicas urbanas. En una tercera y reciente configuración, el derecho a la ciudad se actualiza para describir la emergencia de un nuevo repertorio de acción colectiva centrado en la noción de prefiguración, que vincula la construcción de territorios e infraestructuras sociales autónomas con la emergencia de nuevas prácticas políticas urbanas.
El estudio de impacto ambiental como elemento de construcción de realidad. El caso de la central hidroeléctrica Porce III
Authors: Muñoz Gaviria Gustavo Adolfo
Published: July 2019

El presente trabajo aborda el estudio de impacto ambiental de la central hidroeléctrica Porce III, construida en la década del 2000 en Colombia desde una perspectiva sociológica, específicamente en relación al manejo de los efectos sociales. Se entiende esa “gestión de lo social” como un dispositivo de gobierno, un arreglo de líneas de visibilidad, enunciación, poder y subjetivación, por medio del cual se orienta la conducta de las poblaciones reasentadas. Se aborda particularmente el primer conjunto de líneas. Los datos provienen tanto del análisis documental, como de la experiencia de trabajo profesional del investigador en el reasentamiento estudiado. La información sobre normativa existente, justificaciones de la empresa y sus financiadores, estudios ambientales y medidas de manejo fue sometida a un análisis interpretativo a la luz de las categorías provistas por el referente teórico. El trabajo permite identificar la construcción de una realidad determinada, definida y delimitada por los instrumentos, discursos y técnicas del estudio de impacto ambiental. Establecida esa realidad, las empresas la gestionan al tiempo que hacen viable el negocio de generación de energía. Se concluye que otras realidades con mayores niveles de democratización pueden ser construidas para regular las interacciones entre comunidades, empresas y Estado en la definición de las formas de apropiación territorial.
De la chaqueñada a Coronel Dorrego. Injerencia internacional de los programas urbanos integrales en familias empobrecidas de Santa Fe
Authors: Mosso Emilia
Published: July 2019

Los postulados teóricos difundidos por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas en las últimas décadas, entre otros organismos internacionales, rondan en torno a la promoción de programas urbanos integrales que contemplan el entorno barrial precarizado en pos de principios de sostenibilidad y sostenibilidad urbana. En este artículo cuestionamos la incidencia de estos programas en el mejoramiento de las condiciones de vida de un grupo de familias relocalizadas en nuevas viviendas en la ciudad de Santa Fe, Argentina, en la última década. Consideramos que, detrás de las operatorias de recualificación y embellecimiento urbano contempladas por estos programas, legitimadas desde argumentos que contemplan el mejoramiento en las condiciones de vida de la población empobrecida —como lo son la vivienda y la titularidad del suelo—, se reproduce una estructura socioespacial que sienta las bases para la perpetuación de la desigualdad social. A partir de una metodología combinada cuali-cuantitativa y la realización de entrevistas personales semiestructuradas analizamos algunas de las variaciones en las condiciones de vida anteriores y posteriores al proceso de relocalización, buscando comprender la incidencia de estas políticas urbanas en la población empobrecida.
¿Qué es la neorruralidad? Reflexiones sobre la construcción de un objeto multidimensional
Authors: Trimano Luciana Geraldine
Published: July 2019

Este trabajo discute la noción de neorruralidad como herramienta analítica con la intención de esbozar una propuesta conceptual que colabore en enriquecer el conocimiento científico sobre esta temática. El objeto neorruralidad, si bien ha sido trabajado especialmente en Europa todavía es poco explorado en Latinoamérica. Esta situación provoca una notable ausencia teóricometodológica al considerar la importancia del contexto en estas investigaciones. Por tal motivo, buscamos problematizar los desafíos analíticos y empíricos que la movilidad ciudad-campo presenta para las ciencias sociales y para aquellos estudios que trabajan esta realidad desde una mirada particular (comunicación, migraciones y movilidades). El análisis parte de la hipótesis de que la noción de neorruralidad es un pseudoconcepto que engaña definiendo un fenómeno que en realidad es más complejo de lo que sugiere la etiqueta, además de prolongar el dualismo ruralurbano. En suma, esta manera de tipificar el fenómeno nos empuja en dirección de un objeto mal construido. Ante este panorama, a partir de un caso de base etnográfica se reflexiona sobre la naturaleza del conocimiento neorrural y sus fuentes, en un ejercicio de indagación en torno a un fenómeno histórico, complejo, emergente, dinámico, situado, localizado, multidimensional (temporal, espacial, espiritual y experiencial) y transdisciplinar.
Entre linhagem e méritos: notas sobre o conceito de nobreza e as nomeações de capitães generais no final do século XVIII
Authors: Pombo Nívia
Published: July 2019

O artigo tem como propósito apresentar algumas reflexões historiográficas que permitam lançar luz ao posicionamento social de um grupo de governadores que atuou nas conquistas portuguesas, entre os anos de 1796-1803. Em um primeiro momento, contempla-se a concepção de honra e fidalguia defendida pela aristocracia portuguesa contra o que denominavam de “enobrecidos”, isto é, os que ascendiam aos cargos da Coroa pelo critério do “talento”, associado ao diploma universitário; em um segundo momento, problematiza-se o recrutamento de governadores e vice-reis, postos que – como têm demonstrado a historiografia – permitiam o acesso ao topo da aristocracia portuguesa, por meio da remuneração das casas com títulos nobiliárquicos. Ao final, demonstra-se como essa forma de ascensão social foi afetada pela valorização dos saberes universitários, colocando em exame a primeira geração de governadores formada após as reformas do ensino pombalinas, que atuou nas conquistas ultramarinas na virada do século XVIII para o XIX.
O futebol no Oeste de Minas: os encontros intermunicipais e os sentidos das práticas esportivas em Oliveira (1916-1925)
Authors: Venâncio Daniel , Freitas Euclides
Published: July 2019

O presente artigo analisa os primeiros anos da introdução das práticas futebolísticas na cidade de Oliveira, localizada na região do Oeste de Minas Gerais. A fundação do Oliveira Sport Club, no ano de 1916, agremiação formada por representantes da elite local, constituiu-se como marco inicial do processo de introdução do futebol na cidade, como também na formação de encontros clubísticos nas localidades adjacentes. A análise dos periódicos locais indica que, para além da sua dimensão esportiva, aspecto quase invisibilizado pelos noticiários, os encontros futebolísticos promovidos pelas elites do Oeste de Minas tornaram-se eventos festivos capazes de promover a integração social e política dos grupos abastados. Essa configuração lúdico festiva sofreu mudanças significativas a partir de 1925, quando a fundação de novos clubes, oriundos dos demais estratos sociais, e a intensificação dos embates esportivos, conferiu aos jogos de futebol atributos condizentes ao campo esportivo, tais como a excitação, a tensão e a competitividade.
O Serviço doméstico e o mundo do trabalho carioca: uma análise das relações de trabalho de criadas nacionais e estrangeiras na passagem do século XIX para o XX
Authors: Peçanha Natália Batista
Published: July 2019

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar o serviço doméstico carioca, na virada do século XIX para o XX, com o intuito de enfatizar a complexidade de formas contratuais e relações de trabalho envolvidas em uma atividade que trazia as marcas da escravidão, para um cenário de trabalho “livre”. Desta forma, buscamos analisar como o serviço doméstico era vivenciado por diversas camadas populares: libertos, livres e imigrantes. Aspectos como formas de contratação, diferenças salariais e atividades desempenhadas são alguns dos pontos destacados em nossas análises, a fim de subsidiar um olhar acerca do serviço doméstico, enquanto sua composição social, bem como suas relações laborais em um momento em que a ideia de trabalho “livre” era vivenciada de várias formas.

Stratification of chronic and complex wounds according to healing characteristics: a retrospective study
Authors: Spruijt Nicole E. , Hoogbergen Maarten M. , Buijs Servaas J.E. , Grosveld Marcel J.W. , Buth Jaap
Published: July 2019

Objective:

Wound risk-stratified analyses are clinically relevant as they can assist in identifying hard-to-heal wounds. The aim of the study is to develop risk categories for wound healing based on a limited number of reliably recordable clinical data.

Method:

This retrospective study used observational data. The primary outcome measure was wound healing at the end of treatment and the secondary outcome measure was the time to wound healing. A stratification model using regression analyses was developed to assign the patients to risk categories for wound healing and the time-to-heal.

Results:

The study cohort comprised of 540 patients. The most common wound diagnoses were diabetic ulcers, wounds in irradiated areas and wound dehiscence after surgery. Average wound duration before starting treatment at the wound centre was 11.7 months. Healing was achieved in 382 (71%) wounds, after an average treatment time of 4.4 months. A total of four risk categories for wound healing were developed by combining wound diagnosis (favourable versus unfavourable) and duration (<3 months versus >3 months). These risk categories demonstrated healing percentages ranging from 69–97% (p=0.0004) and mean time-to-healing varying from 2.7–5.9 months (p=0.01).

Conclusion:

Using two clinical wound variables, diagnosis and duration, stratification categories were identified with significant associations with wound healing outcomes. Longer wound duration and unfavourable diagnoses, when combined into unfavourable risk categories, were associated with a lower percentage of wound healing and a longer treatment time until healing.
Hyaluronic acid and metallic silver treatment of chronic wounds: healing rate and bacterial load control
Authors: Gazzabin Luca , Serantoni Simone , Palumbo Francesco Paolo , Giordan Nicola
Published: July 2019

Objective:

To confirm the safety and wound healing activity of a topical spray powder containing hyaluronic acid (HA) and metallic silver (Hyalosilver, Fidia Farmaceutici S.p.A., Italy), and investigate its effect on the control of bacterial load in vascular ulcers or category I-II pressure ulcers (PU).

Methods:

This is a single site, prospective, open label study involving patients with a vascular ulcer or category I-II PUs, presenting signs of critical bacterial colonisation. Patients with a wound size of ≤15cm2 were enrolled. At baseline, a swab was taken of each wound for a semi-quantitative analysis of bacterial load and the first treatment of topical spray powder was applied. The patient was then requested to self-apply the medication once a day for 28 consecutive days and to return on days one, seven and 28 for clinical and microbiological assessments.

Results:

A total of 25 patients were enrolled in the study. Treatment with the topical spray powder enhanced the healing rate of chronic wounds in terms of a reduction of wound area as well as bacterial load (p<0.025) and the overall clinical status of wound (odour, exudate, erythema of periwound skin; p<0.017). Moreover, the spray powder increased overall patient perception of improvement in the wound (p<0.05).

Conclusion:

The data demonstrated good safety and tolerability of the topical spray powder suggesting that the product is effective not only in reducing wound area, due to the presence of HA, but in keeping the bacterial colonisation under control.
Health professionals' perspectives on delivering patient-focused wound management: a qualitative study
Authors: Kuhnke Janet L. , Keast David , Rosenthal Sue , Evans Robyn Jones
Published: July 2019

Objective:

This study examined the perspectives of health professionals on the barriers and solutions to delivery of patient-focused wound management and outcomes.

Methods:

A qualitative, descriptive study design was used. Participants were health-care managers, clinical leaders, nurses and allied health members who are part of wound care services. Open-ended surveys were distributed to participants in a series of learning workshops, and data analysed to identify leading themes.

Results:

A total of 261 participants took part and 194 surveys were returned (response rate: 74%). From the analysis five themes emerged: patient/family wound-related education; health professional wound-related education; implementation of evidence-based wound care and dissemination of evidence-based wound information across professions and contexts; teamwork and respectful communication within teams; and a higher value and priority placed on wound care through collaborative teams by managers, leaders and policymakers.

Conclusion:

Findings suggest that ongoing, system-wide education is needed to improve prevention, assessment, treatment and management of four wound types: venous leg ulcer (VLU), diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), pressure ulcer (PU) and surgical wounds. Health professionals are committed to delivering best practice in wound care. Participants identified that effective patient-focused, evidence-based wound care involves having a health-care system with a clear mandate to ensure wound care is a priority. A high value placed on wound care by managers and clinical leadership could transform the present systems. Additionally, effective and widespread dissemination of evidenced-informed practice information is crucial to positive patient outcomes. Education and team commitment for consistent and respectful communication would improve care delivery.

Reducing drug errors by engaging student nurses in medication management simulation
Authors: Edwards Sharon L , Williams Joyce , Lee Mandy
Published: July 2019

The occurrence of drug errors in the NHS has been much discussed in the media. Nurses are in a position to prevent drug errors, as they are often involved in administering medication or advising patients. To enable nurses to do this they need to be able to begin safe medication practice early in their education. This can be achieved through performing safe medication management simulations in undergraduate nursing courses. By setting up a number of patient scenarios in a skills laboratory, student nurses can practise medication management skills that are realistic in an environment where it is safe to make mistakes in order to ensure patient safety at all times.
Right diagnosis, right treatment: SAFER PRACTICES
Authors: Silverston Paul
Published: July 2019

Choosing the right treatment for the patient requires that the right diagnosis is made first. In primary and ambulatory care, however, diagnostic errors are both common and commonly preventable. The World Health Organization has recommended that all health professionals should receive formal training in the principles of diagnostic reasoning and the causes of diagnostic error, and that strategies and interventions to reduce the risk of diagnostic error should be used in clinical practice. This article describes a mnemonic checklist, SAFER PRACTICES, which can be used in an integrated approach to the prevention and detection of diagnostic errors that starts in the classroom and continues through to the consulting room.
The use of environmental enrichment on farms benefits animal welfare and productivity
Authors: Bolt Sarah L , George Adam J
Published: July 2019

Environmental enrichment is a key aspect of animal welfare and productivity. Enrichment for livestock can be cost effective and used successfully on farm. The benefits generally outweigh any costs of providing enrichment and it should be taken into account when providing housing facilities for farm animals. It also reduces abnormal behaviours commonly seen in production animals, thus decreasing issues associated with poor animal health. The aim of this review is to summarise information and research that highlights the importance of understanding farm animal behaviour and indicates how enrichment will benefit the welfare and productivity of livestock.

The Trump Administration in Latin America: Continuity and Change
Authors: Campos Carlos Oliva , Prevost Gary
Published: July 2019

Donald Trump won the 2016 US presidential election without a clearly articulated policy for either Cuba or the Latin American/Caribbean region as a whole. Two years into that presidency, this article seeks to describe that policy and place it within Trump's wider foreign policy. The article deconstructs the worldview of ‘America First’ as lying within the perspective of the neo-conservative wing of the Republican Party, epitomised by John Bolton, the current National Security Advisor. The implications of that worldview for Cuba and Latin America make for a reversal of Obama's opening to Cuba, a hardline on immigration from Mexico and Central America, and greater pressure for regime change in both Venezuela and Nicaragua. Also analysed is the resonance of Trump's policies with the recent turn to the political right in Latin America, notably in Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Colombia.
The Cuban Refugee Criminal: Media Reporting and the Production of a Popular Image
Authors: Jacklin Jillian Marie
Published: July 2019

On 15 April 1980, Fidel Castro opened the port at Mariel Harbour, prompting 125,000 people to depart for the United States in search of asylum. Unlike those who emigrated from the island thirty years earlier, these refugees did not encounter empathy from the American public. Rather, Marielitos encountered hostility, as they found themselves scattered in detention centres around the United States. As refugee camps sprang up in small communities in the US South and Midwest, sensationalised accounts of crimes committed by the migrants shaped negative local perspectives of Cubans. This article complicates the legitimacy of the image of the refugee criminal, however, by describing the context within which Marielitos travelled to remote areas in the US, specifically in west-central Wisconsin. Ultimately, this study demonstrates how media reporting on the Mariel boatlift, along with the contentious socioeconomic climate that Cuban refugees encountered while detained in rural America, influenced the popular representation of their criminality.

Did Marx Have a Labour Theory of Value?
Authors: Cockshott Paul
Published: July 2019

It has long been accepted that Marx was a follower of the labour theory of value. This position has recently been challenged by Harvey. This paper shows that the essential basis of Marx's value theory remained labour and that it did not differ substantially from that of Ricardo. It also references data showing the empirical validity of the theory and presents example data from the UK 1998 input output table showing how closely monetary output shadows labour content.
The Value Theory of Labor Based on Marginalist Principles
Authors: Correa Romar
Published: July 2019

Our treatment of the theme is inspired by the formulation of Hiroshi Onishi. Professor Onishi establishes the labor theory of value by deriving a proportionality between labor power and output. We engage with the Professor's marginalist treatment and proceed to the dialectical approach to Marx's theory of value. Accordingly, money is an integral part of the subject.
A Continuation of the Debate over Money and Totality
Authors: Moseley Fred
Published: July 2019

This paper is a reply to David Laibman's latest paper critical of my 2016 book Money and Totality: A Macro-Monetary Interpretation of Marx's Logic in Capital and the End of the “Transformation Problem.” This paper responds to the following points: did I misstate Laibman's position in my previous paper?; the logical priority of the production of surplus-value over the distribution of surplus-value (i.e., the prior determination of the total surplus-value); different starting points: quantities of money capital (Marx) vs. quantities of physical inputs and outputs (Sraffa); is Marx's theory “monetary”?; and (most importantly) is my interpretation of Marx's theory logically incoherent? I argue that Laibman's criticism of logical incoherence is based on the usual fundamental misinterpretation of Marx's transformation of values into prices of production—as a transformation from one set of micro prices (the values of individual commodities) to another set of micro prices (the prices of production of individual commodities). To the contrary, I argue that the logic of Marx's transformation is from macro total price to micro individual prices of production and that this macro-to-micro transformation is logically coherent, so there is no transformation problem in Marx's theory of prices of production.
Documenting the legacies of the Chilean dictatorship: Questioning the family relationship in the documentary films El pacto de Adriana and El color del camaleón
Authors: Canet Fernando
Published: July 2019

The Chilean dictatorship is the subject of a number of recent non-fiction films in which the construction of Chile’s collective memory also focuses on those who supported, collaborated or participated in the perpetration of the abuses and atrocities committed by the regime. In recent years, a new generation of Chilean filmmakers has emerged; among these are Andrés Lübbert and Lissette Orozco, whose documentary films about the dictatorship, El color del camaleón (‘The color of the chameleon’) and El pacto de Adriana (‘Adriana’s pact’), respectively, were both released in 2017. In both films, the memorialization of Chile’s past is associated with the exploration of family memories as the filmmakers engage with Chile’s collective memory through family relationships. In this way, family becomes central to a parallel process in which the filmmakers engage in an ethical and emotional questioning of their relationships with their relatives and the family legacy, thereby triggering conflict within the family. This family conflict may be resolved in one of two possible ways: breakdown or reconciliation. The two documentary films studied here offer examples of each possibility, facilitating an exploration of this process and the potential impact of this approach to documenting family relationships.
Mummy, me and her podcast: Family and gender discourses in contemporary podcast culture: Not by Accident as audio(auto) biography
Authors: Zehelein Eva-Sabine
Published: July 2019

Podcasts can perform transdisciplinary cultural work in sonic form. Often, they are specific ‘soundworks’ which, though still emphasizing speech and words over sound and noise, still challenge the predominance of text and image by necessitating the ‘social act’ of listening. Not by Accident, ‘a documentary series about choosing to become a single mother and coping with being one’ (Harper), presents an example of how private and intimate stories, told to an (anonymous) audience can function as both scriptotherapy, and oral/aural (auto)biographical texts (here of mother and daughter), but also as self-help and awareness raising narratives for a community of listeners, a sound-based social network. By illustrating the private impact of public family policies and social discourses, Harper’s podcast speaks against discrimination and denigration of single mothers, lesbian mothers and single mothers by choice, against patriarchal motherhood and the heteronormative model of the ‘nuclear family’ and for reproductive justice in families of choice.
Cooking love in Asia: Food, belonging and the making of a multicultural family on Korean film and television
Authors: Song Myoung-Sun
Published: July 2019

For the last decade, South Korea – a nation that has called itself danil minjok, a phrase that means ethnically homogenous and racially distinctive – has been transitioning from a homogenous country to a multicultural one. This article focuses on the depiction of ‘the ethnic female other’ in Korean media, more specifically on that of marriage migrants from Southeast Asia. It analyses two Korean media texts, the film Punch (Lee, 2011) and the television programme Love in Asia (2005–15), specifically around scenes depicting food: marriage migrants preparing food, cooking food, eating food, sharing food, etc. How does food function as sociocultural practices in the exploration of migration and the formation of identities for female marriage migrants? This article argues that Korean film and television articulates a rather limited multicultural discourse as part of its national identity, most notably in the depiction of marriage migrants as mothers who are required to actively produce and consume Korean food. In doing so, the article demonstrates that while media depictions of marriage migrants provide a window onto the transitional process of questioning what a ‘Korean’ family is, it currently remains very limited and ambivalent.
Planning a Puerto Rican family in New York: Symbolic violence and reproductive decision-making in the Planned Parenthood film La Sortija de Compromiso (1965)
Authors: Roesch Claudia
Published: July 2019

This article examines the Planned Parenthood film La Sortija de Compromiso (1965) as advertisement for family planning among Puerto Rican migrants in New York. The film presents a normative narrative of reproductive decision-making and shows how family planning became an integral part of the 1960s US-American symbolic order. It was produced within the context of debates about overpopulation, poverty and family planning initiatives in Puerto Rico as well as scares about global overpopulation and an increasing Latino immigration in the United States. First, the article discusses how the film presents family planning as a path to affluence for migrant families. Then, it analyses the concepts of masculinity that are presented in the film and that associate Puerto Rico with a pre-modern rural setting and US-American family norms with modernity. Third, it examines how the film addresses the transcultural setting of Puerto Rican migrant families by negotiating different attitudes to women’s work, decision-making within marriage and networks to obtain reproductive knowledge. The article concludes that the film advertises family planning as a universal concept and a path towards affluence. Thus, it presents poverty as a result of individual choice and obscures the debates about overpopulation and eugenics in which it was conceived.

Authors: Shalahuddin Fikri Aziz , Almekahdinah Sera Serinda , Nandiyanto Asep Bayu Dani
Published: July 2019

The economic evaluation is one of the key points in building chemical industries. This paper presented a preliminary economic evaluation of the large scale production of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles using the sol-gel method, which is very useful for helping decision whether the fabrication of this material profitable or not. Particularly, the study was done by changing the cost of raw material, which was compared to several economic parameters such as GPM, PBP, and CNPV. The result showed that the project was profitable by increasing raw material cost below 100% from the estimated raw material cost, informing the fact for the prospective fabrication for fulfilling the demand of ZnO nanoparticles.
Conversion of hemicellulose from kenaf core fiber to xylose through dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis
Authors: Judiawan William , Sudiyani Yanni , Nurnasari Elda
Published: July 2019

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) is a lignocellulosic plant that is usually utilized as a fiber source for sack production. The core from kenaf fiber has not been utilized yet in Indonesia, therefore it is still considered as a waste. Hemicellulose from kenaf core can be hydrolyzed to xylose through dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis in high temperature. Hydrolysis in this study was done by using autoclave at 121℃ and 10% (m/v) biomass: acid ratio for 15 and 45 minutes with a variation on acid concentration (2%, 4%, and 6% v/v). Xylose concentration in the hydrolyzate tends to increase with higher acid concentration and longer heating time. 6% (v/v) sulfuric acid concentration and 45 minutes of heating time produce the highest xylose concentration (20.53 gr/L) and yield (86.50%)

Protease hidrolyzed protein in flour in order to more digest by human ulcer. Lactobacillus plantarum B110 and Lactobacillus satsumensis are indigenous lactic acid bacteria that produce protease. The objective of this research is to characterization of protease crude extract from indigenous lactic acid bacteria and the protein degradation capacity in local tuber and cereal paste flour. Tuber and cereal flour used were purple sweet potato (Dioscorea alata), cassava (Manihot esculenta), rice (Oryza sativa), corn (Zea mays) and wheat (Triticum) as comparison. Proteaseactivity was tested by Horikoshi method (1971) and protein degradation was by formol titration. Research results showed that optimum activities and stabilities of Lactobacillus plantarum B110 were at pH: 7.5, 45oC and pH:5.0-8.0, 35-50oC, while that L. satsumensis EN 38-32 were at pH: 7.0, 40oC and pH:6.0-8.0, 20-45oC. Increases in protein degradation capacity of the paste flour additional proteases crude extract from L. plantarum B110 were 0.0838% (purple sweat potato), 1.3299% (cassava), 0.5834% (corn), 0.7499% (rice) and 1.5551% (wheat as comparison); while that L. satsumensis EN 38-32 were 0.20% (purple sweet potato), 0.32% (cassava), 0.87% (corn), 1.17% (rice). Based on increases in protein degradation capacity, protease crude extract from L. plantarum B110 and L. satsumensis EN 38- 32 were sequently better to hidrolyze protein of cassava and rice paste flour than thatother tuber and cereal.

OBJECTIVES:

Prokinetics are considered the preferred treatment option for gastroparesis, but evidence of their efficacy is scarce. Prucalopride, a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 receptor agonist used in the treatment of constipation, is able to enhance the gastric emptying rate. In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study, we evaluated the efficacy of prucalopride to improve the gastric emptying rate and symptoms in patients with gastroparesis.

METHODS:

Thirty-four patients with gastroparesis (28 idiopathic, 7 men, mean age 42 ± 13 years) were evaluated in a double-blind crossover trial of 4-week treatment periods with placebo or prucalopride 2 mg q.d., separated by 2 weeks of washout. The primary end point was the change in symptom severity, assessed by the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index; secondary end points comprised the Patient Assessment of Upper Gastrointestinal Disorders–Symptom Severity Index, the Patient Assessment of Upper Gastrointestinal Disorders–Quality of Life, and daily diaries, and the gastric emptying rate was assessed by the 13C-octanoic acid breath test.

RESULTS:

Three patients were lost to follow-up. One serious adverse event occurred (small bowel volvulus in the prucalopride group), and 3 patients dropped out because of adverse events of nausea and headache (all prucalopride). For the entire patient group, compared with placebo, prucalopride significantly improved the total Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (1.65 ± 0.19 vs 2.28 ± 0.20, P < 0.0001) and the subscales of fullness/satiety, nausea/vomiting, and bloating/distention. Prucalopride significantly improved the overall Patient Assessment of Upper Gastrointestinal Disorders–Quality of Life score (1.15 ± 0.16 vs 1.44 ± 0.16, P < 0.05) and the domains of clothing and diet. The gastric half emptying time was significantly enhanced by prucalopride compared with placebo and baseline (98 ± 10 vs 143 ± 11 and 126 ± 13 minutes, P = 0.005 and <0.001, respectively). These significant improvements were also found when considering only the idiopathic gastroparesis subgroup.

DISCUSSION:

In a cohort of patients with predominantly idiopathic gastroparesis, 4 weeks of prucalopride treatment significantly improved symptoms and quality of life and enhanced gastric emptying compared with placebo.

Isoliquiritigenin and oxyresveratrol are compounds that have been reported to have anticancer activities. This study aimed to predict cytotoxic activity, toxicity and physicochemical properties of the compounds isoliquiritigenin and oxyresveratrol. Prediction of physicochemical properties referred to Lipinski rules of five using the pkCSM online tool. Prediction of compounds toxicity using Protox II online tool while ligand interaction with receptors using Molegro Virtual Docker (MVD). Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) (PDB: 2RL5) and B Cell Lymphoma BCL-2 (PDB: 4AQ3) were used as target cancer receptor proteins. In silico predictive results showed that oxyresveratrol and isoliquiritigenin complied with Lipinski rules of five, predictive values of LD50 between 500-2000 mg/kg respectively 1560 mg/kg and 1048 mg/kg. The docking result was in the form of bound energy described by Rerank Score (RS). A compound having a small RS value was predicted to have greater activity. RS of oxyresveratrol on 2RL5: -73.0413 and 4AQ3: -87.9985, while isoliquiritigenin on 2RL5: -68.0282 and 4AQ3: -78.5041. The cytotoxic activity of oxyresveratrol was also shown by hydrogen bonds in active amino acids (2RL5: Cys 919 in 4AQ3: Tyr 67). From docking results of both compounds, oxyreveratrol had greater activity than isoliquiritigenin to both target cancer receptor proteins and complied Lipinski rules of five and have a low toxicity.Keywords: cytotoxicity, toxicity, isoliquiritigenin, oxyresveratrol, in silico.

Diazinon, an organophosphate insecticide is widely used in agricultural sectors. The metabolic products of this organophosphate compound can increase Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in the body. It causes complications to the various organs, one of which is gastric. Red pitaya peel extract (Hylocereus polyrhizus) has high antioxidant activity in lowering ROS, in cases of diazinon poisoning. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of redpitaya peel extract in reducing the levels of Malondialdehyde (MDA) and repairing histopathological damage of rats induced by diazinon. This study used 20 tails of male white Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) from 8-12 weeks of age with the average weight of 150 grams . The subject was divided into 5 groups, which were negative control (-), positive control (+), treatment 1 (P1), treatment 2 (P2), and treatment 3 (P3). A dose of 40 mg/kg BW of Diazinon was given orally every day through feeding tube (sonde) for 5 consecutive days. Red pitaya peel extract was given to test groups with a dose of 150 mg/150 g BW, 200 mg/150 g BW and 250 mg/150 g BW, for 14 days. MDA levels were measured using the Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) test. Gastric histopathology features were stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) after 14 days. The MDA levels were analyzed quantitatively by ANOVA using SPSS version 22 for Windows and continued with honestly significant difference (HSD) test (α = 5%) and gastric histopathology were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the extract of red pitaya peel with dose of 150 mg/150 g BW significantly (p<0.01) reduces MDA level in gastric dan improves the histopathology of the gastric. Red pitaya peel extract at a dose of 150 mg/150 g BW was able to significantly decrease MDA levels and improve the histopathology feature of the gastric in white rats induced by diazinon. So this can be summarised that giving red pitaya extract in rats have a very significant effect on the level of malondialdehyde production and it could repair rats stomach tissue that induced by diazinon.Keywords: diazinon, histopathology, MDA, red pitaya peel

Making rural people’s fate in the hand of urban entities? A question of natural resource governance and rural-urban linkage in Indonesia
Authors: Alfirdaus Laila Kholid
Published: July 2019

The idea of rural-urban linkage, which is meant to tackle the issue of urban bias in development, requires trust and equality as fundamental conditions. However, building trust and promoting equality is never easy in rural-urban linkage promotion. Natural resources governance is among the areas which usually show us how difficult it is to promote rural-urban linkage for the hardships in power relations among the actors involved. As having long been noted, the issues of natural resources in Indonesia is contentious; leading to strong debate even conflict. Transparency and accountability often become big questions in natural resources governance, followed with hard deliberation between authorities, companies, and community contrary to the policy. These matters result in further problems of trust, equality, and representation, which further leads to difficulty in rural-urban linkage strengthening. As reflected from mining cases in Central Java and oil palm plantation in Central Kalimantan, we can see clearly how power relations between the pros (usually urban people represented by government apparatus and corporations) and cons (rural people; community) are usually lagging. Policy hardly counts the dissenting voices from the cons. Local authorities decide what is good and not for rural people dealing with natural resources issue. They promote economic development and poverty reduction through natural resources business, which is hardly proven. Natural resources policy is more often made one sided. Sometimes there is repression to suppress against a community that refuses the existence of corporations. This paper discusses challenges to the idea of rural-urban linkages from the experience of natural resources governance in Indonesia. From the cases we studied, we can learn that in order to promote linkage, and, further, equality between rural and urban areas, it is crucial to take into account deliberation, because urban entities are not supposed to make the rural people’s fate, just by exploiting and isolating them from decision making.
