Schematic Structure of National Data Harmonization System for Identity Management
Authors: Festus Osuolale, A. , Sunday Adewale, O. , Jeremiah Abimbola, O.
Published: January 2019

Imagine a web-application in which a user can query varieties of information about an individual (like name, age, state of origin, driver’s license number, national identification number, etc.). This information would be stored on different databases, each having its own schema. Often times, these resources are replicated in different locations and on different platforms. Hence, the need for data harmonization or integration. Data harmonization addresses this issue by considering these external resources as materialized views over a virtual mediated schema resulting in “virtual data integration”. When mediated schema is queried, the solution transforms the result into appropriate queries over the various and existing data sources. This paper focuses on data harmonization that cuts across different governmental database and incorporating them all into a centralized view and this is possible as a result of development and implementation of a webbased databank application.
Singular Space
Authors: Sevastjanov Aleksandr
Published: January 2019

Classical physics is a bastion of order and stability, but when creating physics of unstable systems, we are faced with selecting one of many possibilities and limited predictability at all levels of observation. This fact forces us to consider the concepts of instability and chaos in physics, and to describe them by means of singular space.

Authors: Siasar Hadi , Shahrdarazi F , Shojaei Saeed
Published: January 2019

Drought is a natural disaster which occurs as a result of a lack of ambient humidity due to reduced rainfall compared to normal conditions. Successful planning and management of water in agriculture and proper use of water resources is subject to recognition of this disaster. As drought is inevitable, we can minimize its damages through monitoring and forecasting. It is therefore important to predict drought in the planning and management of water resources. In studying the status of drought in Saravan city, rain annual data of synoptic station in the period (1976-2015) and the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) in a twelve-month time scale have been used. Then the Markov chain model was used to calculate the probabilities of the balance of the periods of wet, dry, and normal in SPI. The results showed that the probability of balance in wet, dry, and normal periods in Saravan station is 80.2, 24.20, and 96.76 respectively. This means that the area is most of the time in normal conditions and the probability of draught is about 7 times bigger than rain.

Published: January 2019

ZnO films with Ti atoms incorporated (TZO) in a wide range (0-18 at. %) have been grown by reactive co-sputtering on silicon and glass substrates. The influence of the titanium incorporation in the ZnO matrix on the structural and optical characteristics of the samples has been determined by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results indicate that the samples with low Ti content (< 4 at. %) exhibit the wurtzite-like structure, with the Ti+4 ions substitutionally incorporated into the ZnO structure, forming Ti-doped ZnO films. In particular, very low concentration of Ti (<0.9 at. %) leads to a significant increase of the crystallinity of the TZO samples. Higher Ti contents give rise to a progressive amorphization of the wurtzite-like structure so samples with high Ti content (≥18at. %), displays an amorphous structure indicating the XPS analysis a predominance of Ti-O-Zn mixed oxides. The energy gap, obtained from absorption spectrophotometry, increases from 3.2 eV for pure ZnO films to 3.6 eV for those with the highest Ti content. Ti incorporation in the ZnO samples below 0.9 at. % rises both, the blue (380 nm) and green (550 nm) bands of the photoluminescence (PL) emission, thereby indicating a significant improvement of PL efficiency of the samples.

Published: January 2019

A series of penta-1,4-dien-3-one containing a H-phosphonate scaffold were designed and synthesized. The structures of all title compounds were determined by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 31P-NMR, and HRMS. Bioassay results showed that several of the title compounds exhibited remarkable antibacterial and antiviral activities. Among these, compounds 3c and 3o exhibited substantial antibacterial activities against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae (Xoo) and Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac). In addition, compounds 3c, 3f, and 3r showed remarkable curative activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), with 50% effective concentration (EC50) values of 290.0, 234.0, and 373.6 μg/mL, respectively. These were superior to that of ningnanmycin (386.2 μg/mL). Compound 3r exhibited comparative protective activity against TMV, with an EC50 value of 291.1 μg/mL, which was better than that of ningnanmycin (297.1 μg/mL). Notably, the solubility of all title compounds improved relative to the lead compound curcumin. These results suggest that penta-1,4-dien-3-one containing a H-phosphonate scaffold may be considered as an activator for antibacterial and antiviral agents.

Banana is a tropical fruit plant that popular in people. The availability of Raja Bulu banana seedling insufficient to cover the needs. Problems in commercial banana cultivation is the least availability of clonal superior seeds. Multiplication in tissue culture technique can potentially overcome all limitations of Raja Bulu conventional seedling. So that, the objective of this research was to multiplicate an amount of Raja Bulu banana shoot using plant growth regulator in MS medium to initially produce shoot organs. The multiplication was done by Completely Randomized Design with 2 factor of IAA (0; 0,5; 1 ppm) and BAP (0, 2, 4 ppm). The data were analyzed by ANOVA and the mean compared using Duncan’s pairwise comparisons at p = 0,05. The acclimatization was design by Completely Randomized Block Design with 3 different media of palm fiber, bagasse, and banana pseudo stem then analyzed by ANCOV. The results showed there was interaction of IAA and BAP on variables at the appearance of shoots and the leaf appearance in multiplication. The medium without IAA and contained BAP 2 ppm showed the highest mean number of shoot but it was not cost effective with other treatment in this multiplication. Giving IAA 0,5 ppm with BAP 4 ppm accelerated when the shoots appear and when the leaves appear on multiplication Raja Bulu banana. There was no significant interaction or influence of IAA and BAP on plant height, leaf number, and pseudo stem diameter as acclimatization variable with 3 medium used. The percentage of acclimatization success is 76,5%.

Published: January 2019

Bermudagrass [Cynodon spp. (L.) Rich.] is a high‐quality, durable turfgrass with excellent heat and drought tolerance. However, its lack of freezing tolerance limits its use in the transition zone. The development of cultivars with enhanced freezing tolerance would constitute a significant improvement in the management of bermudagrass in this region and could extend its area of adaptation further north. There has been substantial work on screening of common‐type bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] germplasm for freezing tolerance, but not for the African (Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt‐Davy) germplasm. The purpose of this research was to conduct multiyear field testing and laboratory‐based freezing test evaluations of winter hardiness and freezing tolerance, respectively, of an African and common bermudagrass germplasm collection. A high level of cold hardiness was observed among the germplasm in this study. In field evaluations, plant introductions (PIs) PI 290905, PI 647879, PI 255447, PI 289923, and PI 615161 were the top performers, having consistently greater spring green‐up and reduced winterkill compared with ‘Patriot’, ‘Tifsport’, ‘Quickstand’, and ‘Tifway’, though not always significantly. A comparison between field‐based ratings and calculated lethal temperatures for 50% death (LT50) from laboratory‐based freezing tests showed significant correlations of −0.26 and −0.24 for spring green‐up and winterkill, respectively, suggesting that these controlled freeze experiments could be used to prescreen materials prior to field testing. Overall, results indicate that some of the PIs evaluated in this study can be used as additional sources of cold hardiness in bermudagrass breeding.

Gender issues are an issue that demands social and cultural construction justice between men and women. In the demands of this construction, the balance of functions, status, and nature of the sexes is expected to be realized. Instead, development is a construction of the changes that take place in society from certain socio-cultural conditions toward something that is considered more valuable. In addition it can also be interpreted as an effort to alleviate backwardness. Therefore, all, gender and development are a reciprocal correlation between one another. The emergence of gender injustice issues or gender discrimination due to social construction process in society. Yet Islam and the Constitution of 45 countries have guaranteed equality of access for women and men. Therefore, enhancing the role of women and men in gendered development as an integral part of national development has significance in the effort to achieve harmonious harmony between men and women or to achieve gender equality and justice in various areas of life and development. The results of this study, trying to reveal gender in development should not be the same role between men and women, there are areas of their own that can be done by men and women.

Marriage that is not registered to the office of religious affairs (KUA) is considered as Siri marriage. It often occurs in the society while invites pros and cons among them.  The perpetrators usually have different motivations to commit this kind of marriage. Un­fortunately, marriage law does not set unequivocally about the legal status of Siri marriage. But it emphasizes the importance of registered marriage as a legal event. The registration of marriage has significance to the various events that are resulted from the marriage: the administration of population and the guarantee of civil rights for the concerned parties. The occurrence of Siri marriage will cause problems for the perpetrators and their families, both legal and social problems. Nevertheless there are positive and negative values in this marriage. So, the aspects of maslahat and madlarat should be considered in order to realize the legitimate purpose of marriage.

Authors: Shaheen Mohamed N. F. , Elmahdy Elmahdy M.
Published: January 2019

Sewage discharge is considered to be the primary source of viral contamination in aquatic environments. This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of El-Rahawy wastewater on the water quality of the Rosetta branch of the River Nile (Rosetta River Nile) through detection of astrovirus (AstV) and norovirus (NoV) in the water and sediments of both sites. For this purpose, we collected 72 wastewater and 12 sediment samples from El-Rahawy drain, and 12 river water and 12 sediment samples from Rosetta River Nile before and after mixing with El-Rahawy wastewater between April 2017 and March 2018. AstVs and NoVs were identified in wastewater (40.2% versus 25%), El-Rahawy sediment (41.6% versus 20.8%), river water after mixing with wastewater (25% versus 16.6%), river water before mixing with wastewater (8.3% versus 0%), river sediment after mixing with wastewater (16.6% versus 8.3%), and no viruses were found in river sediments before mixing with wastewater. AstV genogroup B and NoV genogroup GI were the most frequently detected genotypes in the analyzed samples, with a peak incidence in the winter months. Increasing detection rates of both viruses in El-Rahawy drain samples and river water taken from the Rosetta branch after receiving El-Rahawy wastewater reflect the impact of this drain on the water quality of this stretch of the River Nile.
Lipoprotein Apheresis and PCSK9-Inhibitors. Impact on Atherogenic Lipoproteins and Anti-Inflammatory Mediators in Familial Hypercholesterolaemia
Authors: Stefanutti Claudia , Zenti Maria Grazia
Published: January 2019

Background:

A combination therapy with PCSK9-inhibitors (PCSK9-I) and lipoprotein-apheresis
(LA) may have synergistic effects on circulating lipid and lipoprotein levels, in particular in Homozygous Familial
Hypercholesterolaemic (HoFH) subjects. The relationships between the above mentioned novel therapeutic
approaches as highly effective treatment option for Dyslipidemia in Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolaemic
(HeFH) patients deserve further investigation in larger datasets.

Objective:

This review aims to present the role of lipoprotein apheresis in the management of familial hypercholesterolaemia
and discuss the potential advantages and disadvantages of its combination with PCSK9 inhibitors.

Methods:

A comprehensive literature search regarding lipoprotein apheresis in patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia
and its combination with PCSK9 inhibitors has been performed.

Results:

LA is also a potent therapeutic player having impact on inflammation and related mediators. A large
body of evidence on this is available. On the contrary, only few observations are available on PCSK9-I effects on
inflammation.

Conclusions:

It is quite clear that further investigation on possible direct and/or indirect pleiotropic effects of
PCSK9-I on inflammatory molecules is necessary and to be expected. Evidence on both arguments with regard to
HoFH and HeFH, are reported in short.

Objective: Transplantation is the preferred treatment for patients with end-stage liver diseases. However, in clinical practice, functional preservation of the liver is a major concern before the transplantation. Although various protective solutions are used (in combination with hypothermia), the functional preservation time for liver is still limited to hours. We analyzed the preservation medium to detect the proteins released from the liver during storage period.

Material/Methods:

Samples were collected from the pre-transplant preservation mediums of 23 liver donors. For all donors, the cases involved Donation after Brain Death (DBD). 2D-PAGE and LCMSMS methodologies were used to detect the proteins and peptides from the preservation mediums.

Results:

A total of 198 proteins originating from the liver were detected.

Conclusion:

The data provide valuable insights into biomarkers that may be used to evaluate organ injury, functional status, and suitability for transplantation. Additionally, the findings could be valuable for the development of new strategies for effective preservation of solid organs prior to transplantation.
Data Integration of Hybrid Microarray and Single Cell Expression Data to Enhance Gene Network Inference
Authors: Zhang Wei , Li Wenchao , Zhang Jianming , Wang Ning
Published: January 2019

Background:

Gene Regulatory Network (GRN) inference algorithms aim to explore casual interactions between genes and transcriptional factors. High-throughput transcriptomics data including DNA microarray and single cell expression data contain complementary information in network inference.

Objective:

To enhance GRN inference, data integration across various types of expression data becomes an economic and efficient solution.

Method:

In this paper, a novel E-alpha integration rule-based ensemble inference algorithm is proposed to merge complementary information from microarray and single cell expression data. This paper implements a Gradient Boosting Tree (GBT) inference algorithm to compute importance scores for candidate gene-gene pairs. The proposed E-alpha rule quantitatively evaluates the credibility levels of each information source and determines the final ranked list.

Results:

Two groups of in silico gene networks are applied to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed E-alpha integration. Experimental outcomes with size50 and size100 in silico gene networks suggest that the proposed E-alpha rule significantly improves performance metrics compared with single information source.

Conclusion:

In GRN inference, the integration of hybrid expression data using E-alpha rule provides a feasible and efficient way to enhance performance metrics than solely increasing sample sizes.
Student‐to‐Student Dental Local Anesthetic Preclinical Training: Impact on Students’ Confidence and Anxiety in Clinical Practice
Authors: Wong Grace , Apthorpe Heather C. , Ruiz Kate , Nanayakkara Shanika
Published: January 2019

Effective dental local anesthetic administration forms the basis of pain‐free dentistry; therefore, the application of theoretical knowledge and the ability to deliver injections safely and competently are vital aspects of student learning. Student‐ to‐student administration of the first local anesthetic injection has been a traditional method for preclinical training. The aim of this study was to evaluate oral health students’ perceived value of such practice and the impact on their level of anxiety and confidence in giving their first injections to patients. A sequential mixed‐methods cohort study design was used. After their local anesthesia training, all 42 second‐year students in the oral health program at the Sydney Dental School, University of Sydney, Australia, in 2016–17 were asked to complete five short questionnaires. All 42 students completed each questionnaire, after which seven of them participated in a voluntary focus group. The students reported that they valued the one‐on‐one feedback from the educators during student‐to‐student preclinical training. The students’ primary concern was the possible pain and discomfort that may arise when they perform the first infiltration or inferior alveolar nerve block injections on patients. Most students reported they felt “a little nervous” and experienced a similar level of confidence in administering the two types of injections. The oral health students valued the experiential learning of student‐to‐student preclinical dental local anaesthetic training. Students’ level of anxiety and confidence was affected by the age of patients and type of local anesthetic injections. The level of anxiety students experienced was negatively correlated with their confidence in giving first local anesthetic injections to patients. Further investigation is needed to determine if this level changes with more clinical experience.

The aim of this longitudinal study was to assess the effect on dental students’ grades of participating in a third‐year course taught in orthodontics alone versus an interdisciplinary course taught with orthodontics and pediatric dentistry combined. In the five‐year dental curriculum at Yeditepe University in Istabul, Turkey, the third‐year orthodontic course was taught as a single discipline until 2010, when the course was redesigned as an interdisciplinary course in orthodontics and pediatric dentistry. This retrospective study analyzed all 540 students’ grades in orthodontic courses in the third, fourth, and fifth years from 2003–04 to 2014–15 to determine the impact of the third‐year course design on students’ performance. Students were divided into two cohorts: group A (which experienced the single discipline course, 2003–04 to 2009–10; 181 female, 117 male) and group B (which experienced the combined course, 2010–11 to 2014–15; 152 female, 90 male). In both groups, significant differences were found for the third‐, fourth‐, and fifth‐year orthodontic grades (p<0.05). The grades of the third‐year and fifth‐year students in 2014–15 were significantly higher than in 2010–11 (p<0.05) in group B. Intergroup comparison showed that the third‐ and fifth‐year grades were significantly higher in group B than in group A (p<0.05). These results suggest that the interdisciplinary delivery of basic knowledge in the third year had facilitated the learning process and deep learning in the more advanced orthodontic courses in the fifth year.

Authors: Wisuda Nova Laili , Sedjati Subur
Published: January 2019

Beauvaria bassiana is an entomopathogenic insect that effectively controls brown planthopper (BPH), but will decrease it virulences if nutrients containing chitin and protein is not added. The aim of this research is to find the best method of B. bassiana propagation with the addition of shrimp and cricket flour, both are chitin sources. Isolates were cultured with Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) medium and continued with rice medium. This research method used non-factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatments consisting of control, addition of shrimp flour and addition of cricket flour per treatment each with six replications. The research parameters consist of percentage of mortality, percentage of  conidia rising time, and LT50 test. The chitin sources could increases the growth rate from 0.69 cm per day to 1.449 cm per day and increases the spore density by 4.8×106 CFU (Colony Forming Unit) up to 8.2×106 CFU. Chitin also affects the virulence of B. bassiana in BPH where it can increase the percentage of death starting from 3%until10% and made lethal-time of BPH faster from 0.25 to 0.45 day. There is no significant difference between the sources of chitin between shrimp and cricket flour, so it is more advisable to use cricket flour because it is less expensive. IntisariBeauvaria bassiana merupakan serangga entomopatogen yang efektif mengendalikan wereng batang cokelat (WBC), namun akan mengalami penurunan virulensi bila tidak diberikan nutrisi yang mengandung khitin dan protein. Penelitian ini bertujuan menemukan metode terbaik perbanyakan B. bassiana yang dilakukan dengan penambahan tepung ebi dan penambahan tepung jangkrik yang merupakan sumber kitin. Isolat dibiakkan dengan medium per- banyakan Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) dan diteruskan hingga perbanyakan beras. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) non-faktorial dengan 4 perlakuan dan 6 ulangan yang terdiri atas kontrol, tanpa tambahan kitin, penambahan tepung ebi dan penambahan tepung jangkrik. Parameter penelitian terdiri persentase mortalitas, persentase waktu munculnya konidia dan uji LT50. Pemberian sumber kitin meningkatkan kecepatan pertumbuhan hingga 0,69−1,49 cm per hari dan meningkatkan kerapatan spora berkisar 4,8×106−8,2×106 CFU (colony forming unit). Kitin juga berpengaruh terhadap virulensi B. bassiana pada WBC dimana mampu meningkatkan persentase kematian 3−10% dan waktu paruh kematian WBC 0,25−0,45 hari lebih cepat. Tidak ada perbedaan yang berarti antara sumber khitin dari tepung jangkrik dan tepung ebi sehingga lebih disarankan untuk menggunakan tepung jangkrik karena lebih murah dan mudah didapat.
Political-Economy of Social Entrepreneurship in Indonesia: A Polanyian Approach
Authors: Nurshafira Tadzkia , Alvian Rizky Alif
Published: January 2019

This paper attempts to develop a critical analysis on the concept of social entrepreneurship (SE) in Indonesia in comparison to that in the Global North. Departing from Karl Polanyi’s theorization of market society, this paper asserts that the concept of SE embodies a ‘double movement’. It embodies a tension between the ‘dis-embedding movement’ (attempts to organize society according to market rationality) and the ‘re-embedding movement’ (attempts to ensure that the market works to serve society’s interests), that is, between a formal and a substantive approach to the economy. The rise of SE, therefore, is always situated within a particular politico-economic context. Using Indonesia’s experience as a case study, this paper argues that the emergence of SE is strongly influenced by Widodo’s economic nationalism ideology. In this regard, SE is largely a part of Widodo’s strategy for bolstering economic growth, particularly by stimulating the rise of local entrepreneurs. Within such a framework, the nature of SE as a tool for addressing social problems is insufficiently recognized. SE in Indonesia therefore embodies tensions between the dis-embedding and re-embedding movements. The dis-embedding movement, however, prevails in Indonesia.
Persecution Act as Filter Bubble Effect: Digital Society and The Shift of Public Sphere
Authors: Hidayah Arina Rohmatul
Published: January 2019

This article discusses persecution acts associated with the filter bubble effect, the condition of digital society, the concept of the public sphere and the rational action theory of Jurgen Habermas. The results, obtained through the literature research method, show that acts of persecution in social media can be caused by the personalization of the web. Social media allows the occurrence of large bubbles (filter bubbles) that make users reject ideologies or other truths. This becomes a revolution of mindset due to the freedom of information. Meanwhile, in the Habermas public sphere concept, which emphasizes the existence of a critical and rational discussion, this phenomenon indicates a shift. The shift that occurs brings about the lifeworld realm as the basis for the formation of the public sphere with its communicative action, again dominated by the system realm that is dominated by capitalist forces through strategic action. Thus, Habermas's initial goal of strengthening civil society's position against the dominance of the system is now changing.
