Authors: Mukhlis Suhardi , Setyadiharja Rendra
Published: October 2019

Poros maritim adalah salah satu paradigma pembangunan yang sangat dibutuhkan oleh wilayah yang berbasis kemaritiman seperti Provinsi Kepulauan Riau. Dengan paradigma pembangunan tersebut ekspektasinya adalah pembangunan di wilayah berbasis maritim akan merasa lebih adil dan sesuai dengan karakter wilayah maritim tersebut dibanding pembangunan yang seolah diseragamkan dengan paradigma kontinental. Budaya kemaritiman seyogyanya adalah budaya asli Indonesia, dimana Indonesia adalah Negara Kepulauan. Hal paling esensi adalah masyarakat di wilayah maritim harus meresapi kembali budaya maritim. Dengan penguatan nilai-nilai budaya maritim akan lebih memperkokoh semangat pembangunan di wilayah maritim, dengan kembali mengenal jati diri kemaritiman maka akan semakin baiklah kualitas sumber daya manusia yang memang memahami sikap dan nilai-nilai kemaritiman tersebut. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian konseptual yang kemudian melahirkan konsep community development dengan internalisasi nilai-nilai budaya maritim khususnya bagi masyarakat di Provinsi Kepulauan Riau. Dengan memadukan konsep budaya maritim dan konsep community development maka penelitian ini akan menghasilkan sebuah konsep untuk penguatan masyarakat di Provinsi Kepulauan Riau yang outputnya adalah kesadaran memiliki wilayah maritim, dan kemudian akan lahirlah semangat mempertahankan wilayah maritim tersebut dengan segala karakteristik daerah yang kemudian akan memperkuat Provinsi Kepulauan Riau sebagai provinsi berbasis kemaritiman.

Sampling Conformational Changes of Bound Ligands Using Nonequilibrium Candidate Monte Carlo
Authors: Sasmal Sukanya , Gill Samuel C. , Lim Nathan M. , Mobley David
Published: October 2019

Flexible ligands often have multiple binding modes or bound conformations that differ by rotation of a portion of the molecule around internal rotatable bonds. Knowledge of these binding modes is important for understanding the interactions stabilizing the ligand in the binding pocket, and also for calculating accurate binding affinities. In this work, we use a hybrid molecular dynamics (MD)/non-equilibrium candidate Monte Carlo (NCMC) method to sample the different binding modes of several flexible ligands and also to estimate the population distribution of the modes. The NCMC move proposal is divided into three parts. The flexible part of the ligand is alchemically turned off by decreasing the electrostatics and steric interactions gradually, followed by rotating the rotatable bond by a random angle and then slowly turning the ligand back on to its fully interacting state. The alchemical steps prior to and after the move proposal help the surrounding protein and water atoms in the binding pocket relax around the proposed ligand conformation and increase move acceptance rates. The protein-ligand system is propagated using classical MD in between the NCMC proposals. Using this MD/NCMC method, we were able to correctly reproduce the different binding modes of inhibitors binding to two kinase targets -- c-Jun N-terminal kinase-1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 2 -- at a much lower computational cost compared to conventional MD and umbrella sampling. This method is available as a part of the BLUES software package.
A Possible Mechanism behind the Discovery of Prussian Blue
Authors: Duan Youxin , Zhang Junyan
Published: October 2019

In this work, we synthesized Prussian Blue (PB) by pyrolysis of nitrogen-rich organic compounds and ferric/ferrous salts in the presence of alkali metal salt in inert atmosphere at high temperature, which was completely different form popular method based on the reaction of ferric ions and ferrocyanide ions. By exploring the history of Prussian Blue and some research results, we proposed a possible mechanism to explain the formation of Prussian Blue. The mechanism is as follows: Firstly, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen element in the mixture were transformed to cyanate by the catalysis of alkali metal species. With the increasing of temperature, organic compounds decomposed to release reducing gases such as H2 and CO and eventually formed carbon materials. The reducing gases reduced part of Fe3+ to Fe2+ and the carbon reduced the cyanate to cyanide. So Prussian Blue was formed by cyanide, Fe3+ and Fe2+. The most import substance in the process is the alkali salts and a key intermediate product namely cyanate is proposed. Detailed experiments can be found in PDF file.

Herein, we describe the application of Lewis acid-catalyzed carbonyl-olefin metathesis towards the synthesis of chiral, substituted tetrahydropyridines from commercially available amino acids as chiral pool reagents. This strategy relies on FeCl3 as an inexpensive and environmentally benign catalyst and enables access to a variety of substituted tetrahydropyridines under mild reaction conditions. The reaction proceeds with complete stereoretention and is viable for a variety of natural and unnatural amino acids to provide the corresponding tetrahydropyridines in up to 99% yield.
Reaction Cycling for Efficient Kinetic Analysis in Flow
Authors: Sullivan Ryan , Newman Stephen
Published: October 2019

A reactor capable of efficiently collecting kinetic data in flow is presented. Conversion over time data is obtained by passing a discrete reaction slug back-and-forth between two residence coils, with analysis performed each time the solution is passed from one coil to the other. In combination with minimal material consumption, this represents an improvement in efficiency for typical kinetic experimentation in batch as well. Application to kinetic analysis of a wide variety of transformations is demonstrated, highlighting both the versatility of the reactor and the benefits of performing kinetic analysis as a routine part of reaction optimization/development. Extension to the monitoring of multiple reactions simultaneously is also realized by operating the reactor with multiple reaction slugs at the same time.

Native Defects and their Doping Response in the Lithium Solid Electrolyte Li7La3Zr2O12
Authors: Squires Alex , Scanlon David , Morgan Benjamin
Published: October 2019

The Li-stuffed garnets LixM2M3′O12 are promising Li-ion solid electrolytes with potential use in solid-state batteries. One strategy for optimising ionic conductivities in these materials is to tune lithium stoichiometries through aliovalent doping, which is often assumed to produce proportionate numbers of charge compensating Li vacancies. The native defect chemistry of the Li-stuffed garnets, and their response to doping, however, are not well understood, and it is unknown to what degree a simple vacancy-compensation model is valid. Here, we report hybrid density-functional–theory calculations of a broad range of native defects in the prototypical Li-garnet Li7La3Zr2O12. We calculate equilibrium defect concentrations as a function of synthesis conditions, and model the response of these defect populations to extrinsic doping. We predict a rich defect chemistry that includes Li and O vacancies and interstitials, and significant numbers of cation-antisite defects. Under reducing conditions, O vacancies act as colour-centres by trapping electrons. We find that supervalent (donor) doping does not produce charge compensating Li vacancies under all synthesis conditions; under Li-rich / Zr-poor conditions the dominant compensating defects are LiZr antisites, and Li stoichiometries strongly deviate from those predicted by simple “vacancy compensation” models.

Published: October 2019

Aim: to study the flow phenomena of influenza and ARVI in patients with arterial hypertension, as well as the effectiveness of antiviral therapy. Materials and methods. Analyzed data was collected during the international multicenter prospective observational FLU-EE study "Treatment of ARVI and influenza in routine clinical practice". The study included 18946 patients with established diagnosis of influenza or ARVI of varying severity. 577 patients 51-70 years old who have a history of arterial hypertension (70% of women) were selected from this cohort. These patients regularly received angiotensin - converting enzyme inhibitors for treatment in monotherapy or in combination with other drugs, used to heal diseases of the cardiovascular system. Patients were divided into two groups depending on the therapy. The first group received symptomatic treatment of influenza and ARVI (comparison group, n=86); the second group received the antiviral drug Kagocel in the complex treatment (n=491). Results. Persons with arterial hypertension and other diseases of the cardiovascular system are at risk for severe flu. The administration of the antiviral drug Kagocel as part of the complex therapy of influenza and ARVI makes it possible to speed up the regression of the intoxication syndrome, reduce the incidence of bacterial complications by 36% and the need for antibiotic therapy by 38%. Moreover, a positive effect was registered both with the early treatment of patients for medical help (by 45%) and with delayed treatment, on the 3rd day and later (by 35%). Conclusion. The use of the antiviral drug Kagocel as part of complex therapy for influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections has shown its effectiveness for different groups of patients, including hypertension, despite the fact that cardiovascular pathology, often combined with comorbid diseases, significantly worsens the course and outcome of ARVI.

Authors: Goyal Natasha
Published: October 2019

Municipal Solid Waste Management has become a critical challenge in urban India. Increasing per-capita income and disproportionate population increase has strained the carrying capacity of land and infrastructure. Municipal Corporations continue to be incapacitated due to administrative, financial and human resource constraints. Mainstreaming informal waste collectors/ waste pickers into the formal chain of collection, transportation, treatment, recovery and disposal of the Municipal Solid Waste can help to institutionalize a sustainable model of Municipal Solid Waste Management and inclusive urban growth. Such policy will also be constructive in environmental conservation through effective implementation of the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 with respect to at source waste segregation and decentralized waste disposal.
Towards Subaltern Modernity: Geo-politics in the Life-narrative of C.K. Janu
Authors: SCARIA DIMPLE M.
Published: October 2019

The paper attempts to contribute to the debate on modernity from the perspective of resisting subaltern subjects, generating transformative effects of universal relevance. Choosing one’s life for narrative elaboration has often been seen as a distinctive marker of modernity. This is empirically informed by the narrative of C.K. Janu. The rallying cry of resistance as reflected through her life narrative Mother Forest: The Unfinished Story of C.K. Janu has shaped the notion of knowledge as emancipation in a regional context, but with a universal relevance. Mother Forest: The Unfinished Story of C. K. Janu is a brave project to revive a border culture. It can also be read as a counter-hegemonic practice, a resistance and a unique struggle against social exclusion. The narrative of C K Janu figures out as a resistance against social exclusion foisted on the sidelined subjects, interpreting subalternity in context. This life-narrative expresses a new subaltern modernity unraveling the duplicity of our institutionalized economy and polity. It provides a critique of the essentialist underpinnings of subalternity foregrounding the heterogeneity of the subaltern subjects in the process.

Differential Privacy on Finite Computers
Authors: Balcer Victor , Vadhan Salil
Published: October 2019

We consider the problem of designing and analyzing differentially private algorithms that can be implemented on discrete models of computation in strict polynomial time, motivated by known attacks on floating point implementations of real-arithmetic differentially private algorithms (Mironov, CCS 2012) and the potential for timing attacks on expected polynomial-time algorithms.
As a case study, we examine the basic problem of approximating the histogram of a categorical dataset over a possibly large data universe X.
The classic Laplace Mechanism (Dwork, McSherry, Nissim, Smith, TCC 2006 and J. Privacy \& Confidentiality 2017) does not satisfy our requirements, as it is based on real arithmetic, and natural discrete analogues, such as the Geometric Mechanism (Ghosh, Roughgarden, Sundarajan, STOC 2009 and SICOMP 2012), take time at least linear in |X|, which can be exponential in the bit length of the input.
 
In this paper, we provide strict polynomial-time discrete algorithms for approximate histograms whose simultaneous accuracy (the maximum error over all bins) matches that of the Laplace Mechanism up to constant factors, while retaining the same (pure) differential privacy guarantee.
One of our algorithms produces a sparse histogram as output.
Its ``"per-bin accuracy" (the error on individual bins) is worse than that of the Laplace Mechanism by a factor of log|X|, but we prove a lower bound showing that this is necessary for any algorithm that produces a sparse histogram.
A second algorithm avoids this lower bound, and matches the per-bin accuracy of the Laplace Mechanism, by producing a compact and efficiently computable representation of a dense histogram; it is based on an (n+1)-wise independent implementation of an appropriately clamped version of the Discrete Geometric Mechanism.
BLENDER: Enabling Local Search with a Hybrid Differential Privacy Model
Authors: Avent Brendan , Korolova Aleksandra , Zeber David , Hovden Torgeir , Livshits Benjamin
Published: October 2019

We propose a hybrid model of differential privacy that considers a combination of regular and opt-in users who desire the differential privacy guarantees of the local privacy model and the trusted curator model, respectively. We demonstrate that within this model, it is possible to design a new type of blended algorithm that improves the utility of obtained data, while providing users with their desired privacy guarantees.
We apply this algorithm to the task of privately computing the head of the search log and show that the blended approach provides significant improvements in the utility of the data compared to related work.
Specifically, on two large search click data sets, comprising 1.75 and 16 GB, respectively, our approach attains NDCG values exceeding 95% across a range of privacy budget values.
Differential Privacy in Practice: Expose your Epsilons!
Authors: Dwork Cynthia , Kohli Nitin , Mulligan Deirdre
Published: October 2019

Differential privacy is at a turning point. Implementations have been successfully leveraged in private industry, the public sector, and academia in a wide variety of applications, allowing scientists, engineers, and researchers the ability to learn about populations of interest without specifically learning about these individuals. Because differential privacy allows us to quantify cumulative privacy loss, these differentially private systems will, for the first time, allow us to measure and compare the total privacy loss due to these personal data-intensive activities. Appropriately leveraged, this could be a watershed moment for privacy.
Like other technologies and techniques that allow for a range of instantiations, implementation details matter. When meaningfully implemented, differential privacy supports deep data-driven insights with minimal worst-case privacy loss. When not meaningfully implemented, differential privacy delivers privacy mostly in name. Using differential privacy to maximize learning while providing a meaningful degree of privacy requires judicious choices with respect to the privacy parameter epsilon, among other factors. However, there is little understanding of what is the optimal value of epsilon for a given system or classes of systems/purposes/data etc. or how to go about figuring it out.
To understand current differential privacy implementations and how organizations make these key choices in practice, we conducted interviews with practitioners to learn from their experiences of implementing differential privacy. We found no clear consensus on how to choose epsilon, nor is there agreement on how to approach this and other key implementation decisions. Given the importance of these implementation details there is a need for shared learning amongst the differential privacy community. To serve these purposes, we propose the creation of the Epsilon Registry—a publicly available communal body of knowledge about differential privacy implementations that can be used by various stakeholders to drive the identification and adoption of judicious differentially private implementations.
A Practical Method to Reduce Privacy Loss When Disclosing Statistics Based on Small Samples
Authors: Chetty Raj , Friedman John N
Published: October 2019

We develop a simple method to reduce privacy loss when disclosing statistics such as OLS regression estimates based on samples with small numbers of observations. We focus on the case where the dataset can be broken into many groups (“cells”) and one is interested in releasing statistics for one or more of these cells. Building on ideas from the differential privacy literature, we add noise to the statistic of interest in proportion to the statistic's maximum observed sensitivity, defined as the maximum change in the statistic from adding or removing a single observation across all the cells in the data. Intuitively, our approach permits the release of statistics in arbitrarily small samples by adding sufficient noise to the estimates to protect privacy. Although our method does not offer a formal privacy guarantee, it generally outperforms widely used methods of disclosure limitation such as count-based cell suppression both in terms of privacy loss and statistical bias. We illustrate how the method can be implemented by discussing how it was used to release estimates of social mobility by Census tract in the Opportunity Atlas. We also provide a step-by-step guide and illustrative Stata code to implement our approach.
Releasing Earnings Distributions using Differential Privacy

The U.S. Census Bureau recently released data on earnings percentiles of graduates from post-secondary institutions. This paper describes and evaluates the disclosure avoidance system developed for these statistics. We propose a differentially private algorithm for releasing these data based on standard differentially private building blocks, by constructing a histogram of earnings and the application of the Laplace mechanism to recover a differentially-private CDF of earnings. We demonstrate that our algorithm can release earnings distributions with low error, and our algorithm out-performs prior work based on the concept of smooth sensitivity from Nissim et al. (2007).

Kegiatan pengawasan penangkapan ikan di Pelabuhan dianggap kegiatan rutin tanpa memperhitungkan konsekuensi bahaya akibat kerja bagi pengawas perikanan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menilai besarnya konsekuensi bahaya kegiatan pengawasan kedatangan dan keberangkatan kapal perikanan. Metode Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HIRA) digunakan dalam analisis data penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa  kegiatan pengawasan kedatangan dan keberangkatan kapal terdiri dari enam kegiatan utama. Hasil analisis dengan metode HIRA menunjukkan bahwa keenam kegiatan utama berdampak pada delapan jenis konsekuensi yaitu  fatalities, injuries, evaquation, property damage, critical infrastructure, enviromental damage, bussiness financial impact dan psicosocial impact. Nilai terbesar konsekuensi dari kegiatan pengawasan kedatangan dan keberangkatan kapal perikanan berada pada kegiatan pra-pengawasan dan pasca-pengawasan  dalam aktivitas perjalanan dari dan menuju pos pelayanan. Nilai total konsekuensi adalah 12 termasuk kedalam kriteria konsekuensi 5 yaitu very severe (sangat parah). Kegiatan pengawasan kedatangan dan keberangkatan kapal penangkap dan kapal pengangkut ikan masing-masing memberikan nilai total konsekuensi terbesar adalah 10 termasuk kriteria konsekuensi 4 severe (parah) dalam aktivitas perjalanan dari dan menuju objek pengawasan, pemeriksaan VMS dan pemeriksaan CCTV. Kegiatan pengawasan kedatangan dan keberangkatan kapal secara keseluruhan memberikan konsekuensi bahaya terbesar terhadap injuries dan property damage.Kata kunci : Pengawas Perikanan, Kedatangan kapal, Keberangkatan kapal, HIRA

The parasitoid Microctonus aethiopoides Loan (Hymenoptera Braconidae) was introduced to New Zealand in 1982 for control of Sitona weevil Sitona discoideus Gyllenhal (Coleoptera Circulionidae) a pest of lucerne Unfortunately New Zealand populations of M aethiopoides do not parasitise clover root weevil Sitona lepidus Gyllenhal but European populations do Several PCRbased methods have demonstrated the existence of genetic variation between and amongst European and New Zealand populations of M aethiopoides However enzyme electrophoresis methods have the potential to provide less expensive population markers and these could also prove more useful than PCRbased markers for studying gene flow between European and New Zealand M aethiopoides populations This paper reports a preliminary assessment of allozyme variation between European and New Zealand M aethiopoides Nine enzymes and general proteins were assayed but the only variation was observed at esterase (EST) with two alleles present at each of two loci
Effect of rainfall on the movement and persistence of metsulfuronmethyl and clopyralid applied to pasture

Published: October 2019

Metsulfuronmethyl and clopyralid are two herbicides frequently used in pasture The mobility and persistence of both have been previously reported and showed great variation between overseas and New Zealand results In a field trial the effect of simulated rain within the first 7 days of herbicide application on the persistence and movement of these chemicals was studied using bioassay methods Results show that 15 mm of simulated rain on either Day 1 3 or 7 after herbicide application had no apparent effect on the dissipation of metsulfuronmethyl but natural rainfall that occurred later in the experiment leached it to the 50100 mm soil layer Glasshouse bioassays of soil samples collected from the field showed that between 75 and 90 of the applied herbicide had degraded by Day 56 Clopyralid stayed in the top 50 mm of soil during the experiment but by Day 56 less than 10 of the applied herbicide remained
