Albinism is a genetic mutation that affects the production of melanin in the skin, hair and eyes, making people with albinism vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation, with a greater susceptibility to skin cancer. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) access to care for people with albinism remains difficult. The province of Kasai Oriental is reported to have a large number of people with albinism and no local documentation has been provided to date. The objective of this pilot study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical aspects of albinism, which will enable the development of programs to prevent albinism-related complications in Mbujimayi, Kasai Oriental. This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study conducted in the town of Mbujimayi, capital of the province of Kasai Oriental, among people with albinism over a period of 7 days. Dermatological and ophthalmological diagnoses were essentially clinical. A total of 77 people with albinism of both sexes, most of them under 30 years of age, from all over the town were seen in consultations. Regarding albinism-related diseases, we observed basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas in identical proportions. In general, 78% of the people with albinism seen were at their first medical visit for a dermatological examination and only 4.2% of the people with albinism applied sunscreen. The present study revealed a not negligible frequency of albinism with a presence of pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions and a low rate of dermatological medical visits. This confirms the difficult access to medical care and information, justifying this very low photoprotection.

The growth of oil palm plants, such as height, additional fronds, and stem diameter, depends on the soil condition and its physical properties. Good soil physical properties will support the growth of oil palm plants. On marginal lands such as ex-mining land and sub-soil soil that has poor soil physical properties, improvements must be made. Thus, palm oil cultivation on ex-mining land or subsoil land can grow well. This research aims to study solid application to various soil conditions to improve the growth and physical properties of oil palm plants. The land applied by solid is an ex-mining land subsoil land. Meanwhile, the land with flat topography has not been degraded as a control. The data analysis carried out is an orthogonal contrast test, between control with solid application and without solid application, between solid application with without solid, between among solid application (ex-mining and subsoil land), between among without solid application (ex-mining and subsoil land). The research result shows that soil physical properties and plant growth applied with solid are better than without solid, lower bulk density value, higher total pore space and water holding capacity, taller plant growth, higher palm branches quantity, larger stem diameter. Solid application in ex-mining is lower than solid application on sub-soil, with lower water holding capacity value and lesser palm fronds addition. Without solid application on ex-mining sites, the results are worse than no solid application on sub-soil, with lower water holding capacity and lower plant height. Control is better than solid and without solid applications, higher plants, higher addition of frond quantity, and larger stem diameter.

Cutleaf groundcherry (Physalis angulata L.) is a plant that belongs to the Solanaceae family. In Indonesia, this plant grows spread in various regions and has different names in each region. However, this plant is rarely cultivated and is generally considered a weed by farmers. Recently many studies have shown that cutleaf groundcherry contains many substances that are beneficial for the health sector, so it has the potential to be developed as a cultivation plant for exotic fruit sources that function as nutraceuticals. Plant breeding programs can be a solution in responding to these problems. As the first step in developing cutleaf groundcherry through a breeding program, the Plant Breeding Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Brawijaya University, collected accessions of cutleaf groundcherry from various regions in Indonesia. The phonological stage of its growth is one piece of information that is useful in better understanding the cutleaf groundcherry life cycle and, as a result, simplifying cutleaf groundcherry cultivation management. This research aims to provide practical knowledge on the cutleaf groundcherry life cycle to develop a more efficient plant management approach for cultivation, including plant breeding initiatives. The BBCH scale was used to make observations (Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt und CHemische Industrie). The descriptive statistics obtained from observations and presented in descriptive narrative form using the BBCH scale with 3-digit coding numbers and documentation images were used in the data analysis. The results showed that the BBCH scale was used to define and describe cutleaf groundcherry phenology, which included germination (stage 0), leaf development (stage 1), side shoot formation (stage 2), the emergence of inflorescence (stage 5), flowering (stage 6), fruit development (stage 7), fruit and seed ripening (stage 8) and senescence (stage 9)

It is crucial to produce drought-tolerant rice because Indonesia has a relatively sizeable dry land of 148 million ha. This study aimed to obtain a genotype of upland rice that is tolerant to drought with high productivity and can be developed in the dry land.   This research was then continued with drought tolerance testing by giving water below field capacity in a greenhouse. This study was in a factorial form using a Split Plot Design, with the main plot of drought stress treatment consisting of tree levels, namely water availability field capacity water,  field capacity water, and field capacity water. The sub-plots were four genotypes of upland rice from Deli Serdang North Sumatra consisting of Sialus, Arias, Silayur, Sirabut and one drought-tolerant variety for comparison is Inpago11. The observed variables included plant height, chlorophyll content, number of tillers, number of productive tillers, age of flowering, harvest period, grain weight per clump, and weight of 100 grains. The heaviest drought stress (FCW) caused a significant decrease in plant height, number of tillers per clump, number of productive tillers, and grain weight per clump and extended the flowering and harvesting ages. Based on the tolerance index criteria, it was found that the Silayur genotype was more tolerant to drought stress than the other upland rice genotypes.

Chronic dyspnea (i.e., dyspnea for at least 3 months) negatively impacts the health-related quality of life of ~10% of the general population. In a sizable fraction of these individuals, the underlying cause remains unclear after detailed clinical assessment, basic pulmonary function tests, and chest imaging, characterizing dyspnea of unknown origin (DUO). The “lung doctor” is frequently called to assess these patients for diagnostic clarification, an endeavor fraught with complexities in most circumstances.
La significancia de los casos idealizados de desacuerdo
Authors: Prado Jorge
Published: May 2023

Defenderé que es necesario derrotar los argumentos de la primacía de la perspectiva de la primera persona en la epistemología del desacuerdo si se quiere preservar la equivalencia epistémica requerida para evaluar apropiadamente el disenso entre pares. Lo anterior involucra argumentar por qué estos argumentos quiebran dicha equivalencia. En segundo lugar, justificaré la relevancia de esta simetría para el análisis epistemológico del desacuerdo. En tercer lugar, argumentaré que preservar la equivalencia epistémica en casos idealizados de desacuerdo no implica adoptar necesariamente una postura conciliacionista, pues es posible formular una postura no conformista sin quebrar dicha equivalencia a partir de la distinción entre aceptación y creencia.
Algunos argumentos feministas para objetar la relación de alquiler del embarazo

Published: May 2023

En este trabajo me interesará presentar algunos argumentos feministas en contra de la relación de alquiler del embarazo. Mi objetivo principal es distinguirlos de posiciones conservadoras o neoconservadoras también contrarias a esta actividad que se fundan en supuestos diferentes por lo que no es apropiado compararlas aun cuando también se presenten como objetoras. En segundo lugar, me interesará evidenciar el impacto de algunos planteos tempranos desde el feminismo en la bioética. En tercer lugar, propondré dos ejes para continuar profundizando las reflexiones sobre esta temática: una visión relacional y contextual de la autonomía y la desbiologización y rebiologización de un vínculo social.
Where Does the Knowledge Argument Go Wrong?
Authors: Rudy Hiller Fernando
Published: May 2023

In his well-known Knowledge Argument (KA) Frank Jackson attempted to show that physicalism is false by offering a case that allegedly showed that a complete physicalist description of the world leaves something crucial out, namely the phenomenal qualities of experience. Eventually Jackson himself retracted and claimed that the interesting task is to explain where and why intuition-pumping arguments against physicalism such as the KA go wrong. This is exactly the task that occupies this paper: to discuss and criticize three of the most important diagnoses of the KA’s weak points and to offer my own view about the latter. Along the way, several important but often neglected features of the KA are expounded and clarified.

Zika virus infection attracted the attention of the medical community since it is transmitted by the Aedes mosquito and humans act as hosts. The disease affects fetal development and causes severe neurodevelopmental disorders, such as GBS (Guillain-Barre Syndrome), and CZS (Congenital Zika Syndrome) in pregnant women, including congenital microcephaly, and fetal death. Therefore, a vaccine is needed for prevention. Epitope-based peptide vaccines have advantages in terms of both selectivity and safety. The use of computational methods is a cost-efficient way of developing vaccines. This research aims to look at conserved areas and see the phylogenetic tree of the zika virus E protein sequences obtained from various countries, to see the most immunogenic epitope notifications of the ZIKV E protein sequence using the in-silico method, to see the potential for the most immunogenic epitopes of protein sequences. Zika virus as a vaccine candidate through the use of in silico. This study was using a descriptive observational study using in-silico tools for Zika virus peptide vaccine candidates.
