The taste of tree?
Authors: Deborah Harty  , Phil Sawdon
Published: April 2017

The taste of a tree; the connection of [the] senses, the transference of sensations to smell a colour or hear a drawing…

Walking around a tree, observing the colour, texture and outline, sitting to draw, to document the actualities of the object … this presents no interest … Walking around [the tree] observing the colour, texture, outline, breathing, mind and body absorbing tree, drawing through sensation the memory of the encounter … that presents the interest.

The exposition considers whether the senses are connected and transferable in memory sufficiently to draw the taste of tree through the association of recalled sensations. Adopting Merleau-Ponty’s (2004, p.61) suggestion in The World of Perception, that, ‘[…] every quality is related to qualities associated with other senses. Honey is sugary. Yet sugariness in the realm of taste […] constitutes the same sticky presence as honey in the realm of touch.” humhyphenhum seek to uncover whether it is possible to draw the taste of tree through the association of recalled sensations; are the senses sufficiently connected to be transferable?
Con Luigi Nono: Unfolding Waves
Authors: Paulo de Assis
Published: April 2017

This exposition presents diverse materials related to, or inspired by Luigi Nono’s piece for piano and tape …..sofferte onde serene… (1975–77). Organised in seven modules, the exposition offers different perspectives on a vast collection of materials around the original work, its performative renderings, and its orchestral transformation. Without imposing any sequential logic of reading or listening, the seven modules are numbered following a scale ranging from a more scholarly approach (module 1) to a more creative perspective (module 7).
In a non-prescribed journey they offer diverse insights into different facts, things, objects, and performances, which are presented as archaeological and problematising layers in a continuous process of aesthetic-epistemic cross-references. Some modules are more stable, dealing with what the original piece 'is' (context, sketches, editions, recordings, analysis), while others propose lines of flight, pointing to states of permanent becoming (renderings, transformations, transcriptions).
Divergent voices – Different dialogues in the artistic research project Wikiphonium
Authors: Hilde Blix  , Geir Davidsen
Published: April 2017

In this exposition we present the outlines of the artistic research project Wikiphonium, and discuss how the Bakhtinian concept of dialogue can function as a theoretical, practical and methodological approach in artistic research projects.

The Wikiphonium project was an investigation into new ways of playing the euphonium and creating new music for the instrument, in close dialogue with various composers and musicians. The work contributed to the expansion of the sonic possibilities, expressions, and repertoire for brass instruments in general. Three interrelated parts together constituted the practice as artistic research: thirteen concerts and performances consisting of new works for euphonium based on experimental collaborations with composers and musicians, experimentation with the instrument's possibilities, and development of different tools enabling these developments, including a wiki with a library of sounds and notations.

The exposition contributes to the general methodological discussion in the field of artistic research, illustrated through examples and experiences from the dialogic approach in the Wikiphonium project. A genuine dialogic attitude in artistic research processes enriches critical reflections embedded in the practice. Documentations of process and results together with the multimedia tool wikiphonium.org constitute a transparent and open communication of artistic practice as research.
Talking in Circles: Interview, Conversation, Metalogue
Authors: Amber Yared  , Heather Davis
Published: April 2017

Can different forms of dialogue influence the way we learn and think? This was the question that Amber Yared and Heather Davis set out to explore. Drawing upon examples from radical education, we were interested in how dialogic form changes the way we approach a topic and the different kinds of knowledge that it might produce. To experiment with this question, we engaged with three different forms of dialogue: interview, conversation, and metalogue – a style of dialogue where the form mirrors the content – which we engaged performatively in various forums. In the final iteration, we set up a booth where people could come and discuss education in one of these dialogic modes. To explore creative and democratic approaches to education, this project investigates the relation of form to content.
Stained Black Mirror
Authors: Vappu Jalonen
Published: April 2017

This work examines the material entanglements of humans and touch screens. The starting points are Donna Haraway's 'Cyborg Manifesto', read now over twenty years after it was first published, and the figure of a black mirror. The black mirror does not pretend to reflect back only that to which it has been turned. It also shows itself.
This exposition is a fragmented essay in which the NSA, gendered technologies, manufacturing plants, selfies, new gestures, poor digital images, and self-performing human bodies attach to and collide with one another. I refer to academic as well as popular sources, but I also use my personal experiences and everyday observations as a material.
One trace of the entanglement of humans and devices is greasy fingerprints on touch screens, hence the name of the exposition. But the entanglements of course go far beyond this – for instance to the manufacture of the machine and 'responsibility to the entanglements of which we are part' (Karen Barad).[1]
The exposition is a part of my artistic research on the interplay of human and non-human agencies and the frictions between them. I began my research by examining the intertwinement of clothes and the human body and later also considered other aspects of technology–human relations.
I conduct my research mainly through writing. Writing is artistic research for me – in contrast to writing about artistic research, for instance. While more poetic or fragmented research writing is not without problems – it could be argued to be less falsifiable for instance – it carries the potential for more frictions within a text, or changing points of view, or different agential collaborations and enactments; all issues that may be in the core of research and that sometimes need to be brought forward in ways departing from more traditional styles of academic writing.

Hinges of correlation: Spatial devices of social coexistence
Authors: Espen Lunde Nielsen
Published: April 2017

This project investigates the coexistence of and the correlation between the inhabitants within my apartment building, using artistic practices and my own lived experience. These everyday spaces form the primary interface between the individual and the larger social entity of the city. Consciously, or partly unknowingly, one interacts with others through spatial demarcations, using embedded spatial devices (such as squeaking floorboards, peepholes, mailboxes, etc.) that project life and the presence of other people through sound, light, or matter. Most of these devices are partly unintended, often serve other practical functions, and go unnoticed – but nevertheless hold a latent spatial potential for a recalibration of the social dimension of the city and an architecture to come. This exposition features a combination of photography, 3D laser scans, and creative writing, followed by a written account of the practice.
Characteristics of typical geometrical features shaped by selective laser melting
Authors: Wang Di , Wu Shibiao , Bai Yuchao , Lin Hui , Yang Yongqiang , Song Changhui
Published: April 2017

3D models that consisted of thin walls, sharp corners, cylinders, tetrahedrons, round and square holes were designed and constructed for this study, so that the capability of selective laser melting (SLM) to fabricate typical geometrical features could be ascertained and useful guidance for the direct manufacture of metallic parts presented. These geometrical features were produced via SLM using three devices (EOSING M270, SLM 250HL, and DiMetal-100) using 316 L stainless steel metal powders with optimized processing parameters. The similarities and differences between the geometrical features fabricated by three devices were compared and analyzed. Based on the experiments above, the additional geometrical features were further investigated to analyze the limits of both size and accuracy of each SLM-fabricated geometrical feature. Subsequently, the ability of SLM to produce inclined planes was studied, specifically the effects of inclination angle, scanning speed, and laser power on the quality of SLM-fabrication. Finally, by setting the value of the clearance parameter to 0.2 mm, a foldable abacus was constructed. Experimental results demonstrated that the constraints of the technique (e.g., optical spot diameter, laser penetration, powder adhesion, and stair effect) are the main factors that influence the ability of SLM to fabricate various geometrical features. By studying these constraints, some design guidelines were proposed for metal 3D printing, providing designers with rules for the design of innovative products.

ABNORMAL STRUKTUR HISTOLOGIS KORTEKS CEREBELLAR TIKUS DENGAN NORMAL FOLIASI AKIBAT IRADIASI SINAR X MASA POSTNATAL
Authors: Darmanto Win
Published: April 2017

Our previous experiment showed that prenatal exposure of rats to X-irradiation on gestation day 21st as the late gestation period causes heterotopic Purkinje cells and abnormal foliation of the cerebellum. However the present study observed the heterotopik of Purkinje cell layer following exposure of the rats to X-irradiation on postnatal day (P) 4, without abnormal foliation of the cerebellum. It also demonstrated the process of re-derangement of Purkinje cells. Rat pups were exposed to 2.5 Gy X-irradiation and the cerebellum was examined histologically and by immunohistochemistry to identify Purkinje cells. At 6 h after exposure, extensive cell death was observed in the external granular layer (EGL) of the cerebellum. By P7 (3 days after exposure), while Purkinje cells with well developed dendrites aligned underneath the EGL in the control cerebellum, Purkinje cells with shorter and abnormally oriented dendrites failed to align and re-deranged in the heterotopic location. On adult, the cerebellum of rats irradiated was observed almost normal folial developed. It is strong support previous study that the critical stage for cerebellar abnormal foliation caused X-irradiation is in the early postnatal period.

Authors: Amz Tsuroyya
Published: April 2017

Reel Bad Arabs movie indicated that the 9/11 attacks provided a basis for bipolarizing the Western and theMuslims worlds. As a result, a lot of misconceptions of the Muslim world presented in the media embodya rigid concept, comparing and contrasting Western and Islamic/Arabic values in which Western values arefavored after the 9/11 attack. Grounded in Reel Bad Arabs and several studies of print media about Islamrepresentations, this paper examined the concepts of Islamophobia focusing on stereotypes of Islam and Arabwomen as well as the relationship of modernity, capitalism, and Islam as they are perceived by the Muslimworld. Employing the agenda-setting theory and basic concepts of Islamophobia, this paper analyzed theselected texts in-depth qualitatively. Correspondingly, previous researches were used to expand the accountof the relationship between Islam and the Western media. The analysis claimed that selected print and visualmedia depict Islam unfavorably leading to a misconception of Islam in the Western world. In fact, stereotypesof Islam proved to be more salient as promoted by the Western media. However, the Muslim media attemptedto challenge this by producing several media products such as Kalam Nawaem to show a more “balanced”Islam.Keywords: Stereotypes, media, Muslim, Islamophobia, IslamDOI: 10.24198/jkk.vol2n2.5

Molecular Diagnostics in Colorectal Cancer
Authors: YS Rustam Effendi , Rey Imelda
Published: April 2017

Colorectal cancer (CRC) presents in one of three  patterns: sporadic colorectal cancer in those without a family history (65-85%); those with a family history (familial CRC)       10-25% of cases; inherited CRC accounting for less of 10% cases and presents as well-characterized cancer predisposition syndromes including Lynch syndrome (hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer/HNPCC) which comprises about 1-5% of all colorectal cancer, and multiple polyps CRC, which includes familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP,1%), rare CRC syndrome 0.1 %).  Many efforts have been made to discover the genetic and molecular features of CRC, and there is more evidence that these features determine the prognosis and response to  treatment. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease, with three known major molecular groups. The most common is the chromosomal instability group, characterized by an accumulation of mutations  in specific oncogens and tumor suppressor genes. The second is the microsatellite instability group, caused by the dysfunction of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch repair genes leading to genetic hypermutability. The CpG island methylation phenotype  (CIMP) is the third group, distinguished by hypermethylation. In this review we would like to provide an up-to-date overview of molecular  genetic aspects of CRC that are currently important and should guide clinical practice in colorectal cancer in the diagnosis and selection of therapy.
Infection and Colorectal Neoplasm
Authors: Siregar Gontar Alamsyah , Halim Sahat , Sitepu Ricky Rivalino
Published: April 2017

Colorectal cancer is a major cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignancy and the 4th most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide. A number of infectious agents are considered to be cancer risk factors due to the hypothesis-generating and supportive evidence accumulated to date. It has been estimated that one fifth of all cancer is caused by some infectious agent(s). Infections from certain bacteria, such as Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), Streptococcus bovis (S. Bovis), viruses, such as human papillomavirus (HPV), human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), and parasites may increase the risk of colorectal cancer. More studies are needed to learn the association of infectious agents with the incidence of colorectal cancer.Keywords: colorectal cancer, infectious agents, malignancy, neoplasms

Published: April 2017

Aim: to compare between entecavir and lamivudine as hepatitis B reactivation prophylaxis in cancer patient with chemotherapyMethod: a literature searching in PubMed was done. At the beginning, 8 articles were found. Chosen article in this EBCR were those which compared lamivudine and entecavir directly to lymphoma patient in chemotherapy. Six articles were excluded. Besides PubMed, literature searching was done in Highwire, Cochrane, and Google Scholar too. In Google Scholar, one article that compared entecavir and lamivudine as hepatitis B prophylaxis in cancer patient was found in this study, there were also two multicenter retrospective study that will be appraised.Results: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation, HBV related hepatitis, and chemotherapy discontinuity as a consequence of Hepatitis B were found to be lower in entecavir groups. Entecavir was more effective in subjects with measured HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). In unmeasured HBV DNA groups, entecavir were as effective as lamivudine.Conclusion: entecavir were found to be more effective than lamivudine in patient with positive HBsAg or advanced stage of malignancy that were prepared for aggressive chemotherapy regiments. Since entecavir cost was unaffordable, lamivudine still a drug of choice in this situation.

Parentalidade em casais homossexuais: Uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Araldi Marina Ortolan , Serralta Fernanda Barcellos
Published: April 2017

A pesquisa visa compreender como a parentalidade em casais homossexuais é investigada na literatura científica através de uma revisão sistemática. Para tanto, foram selecionados 17 artigos publicados entre 2004 e 2014, nas bases de dados SciELO, PePSIC e Academic Search Premier, em inglês, espanhol, português e francês, com os descritores homosexual parent OR same-sex parent OR homoparental. Resultados indicam que as pesquisas tentam responder como é a parentalidade em casais que diferem da norma a partir do viés heteronormativo. Sendo assim, a edificação da homossexualidade como patologia em décadas anteriores e a permanência desta visão dificultam a revisão de tais conceitos a nível social. Por isto a importância de estudos que gerem uma nova compreensão sob esta população.

Authors: Benarba Bachir , Pandiella Atanasio , Elmallah Almahy
Published: April 2017

Aristolochia longa (Aristolochiaceae) is widely used in traditional medicine. The present study was carried out to investigate the cytotoxic activity and the acute toxicity of an aqueous extract of A. longa roots. Also, the phytochemical composition of the extract was evaluated. The cytotoxic effects of the aqueous extract in triple negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and HBL-100 cell lines was evaluated by MTT assay. A. longa roots were screened for the presence of phytochemical constituents using the standard qualitative phytochemical procedures. The acute oral toxicity (5000 mg/kg limited dose test) was evaluated. Our results showed that both cells were inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by A. longa aqueous extract. The IC50 of A. longa aqueous extract was estimated after 72h treatment at 40μg/ml and 97μg/ml in HBL100 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, respectively. A. longa aqueous extract at a concentration of 500μg/ml suppressed effectively the cell growth of HBL100 and MDA-MB-231 cells. TLC analysis revealed the presence of flavonols, flavones and/or flavonoid glycosides as major compounds in the extract. Results of the acute toxicity study suggest the non-toxicity of the A. longa aqueous extract to the liver. Interestingly, the renal function was not affected by the extract administration at 5000mg/kg. A. longa aqueous extract could be toxicologically safe when administered orally in rats in a single dose.

Published: April 2017

The present study aimed to compare antioxidant activities, total phenolic and flavonoid content present in leaves and bark of Terminalia arjuna and check whether there is any correlation between phenolic content and flavonoid content with antioxidant activities or not. Phytochemical screening of ethanolic extract of leaves and bark revealed the presence of phenols, flavonoids, tannins, carbohydrates, glycosides, saponin, phytosterols and phytosteroids. Total phenolic content was found to be higher in bark (272.71±3.18 mg/g gallic acid equivalents) as compared to that of leaves (95±3.11 mg/g gallic acid equivalents). Similarly, flavonoid content of ethanolic extract of bark was found to be higher (203.95±5.13 mg/g rutin equivalents) than that of leaves (87.625±4.28 mg/g rutin equivalents). DPPH activity of ethanolic extract of bark (IC50-17.41 µg/ml) was more than that of leaves (IC50-20.22µg/ml). FRAP activity of bark (IC50- 4.781 µM Fe (II) equivalents) is more than that of leaves (IC50-7.572 µM Fe (II) equivalents). Nitric oxide (NO) scavenging activity of bark (IC50-12.87 µg/ml) was higher than that of leaves (IC50-13.91 µg/ml).The present study clearly showed that there is a correlation between total phenolics, flavonoid contents and antioxidant activity of leaves and bark of T. arjuna. The phenolic compounds and flavonoids could be major contributor to antioxidant activity of T. arjuna. Keywords: Terminalia arjuna, DPPH, FRAP, NO, IC50, Antioxidants

Plant-derived digestive enzyme inhibitors particularly those targeted to carbohydrate metabolism has been the focus of recent studies as natural supplements for weight control and diabetes. The present study explores the salivary amylase inhibition activity of Garcinia mangostana (Linn.) pericarp extracts and Carica papaya (Linn.) leaf extracts and fractions, as well as perform phytochemical screening and quantification, and thin layer – and high performance liquid chromatographic profiling. ­Results show that crude extracts and purified fractions were able to inhibit salivary amylase, with C. papaya fraction 1 being the most active at 30.89% inhibition. Phytochemical screening of all extracts tested ­positive for tannins, glycosides, phenolics, flavonoids and alkaloids. Quantification of phenolics showed that extracts contained high levels of phenolics, with C. papaya crude extract having the highest content with 219.0±12.7 mg GAE/g extract followed by G. mangostana crude extract with 247.1±18.0 mg GAE/g extract. Quantification of total flavonoids also showed C. papaya crude extract to contain the highest content with 55.12±0.679 mg QE/g extract. All extracts contained negligible alkaloid content, though. HPLC and TLC profiling showed several peaks and bands, when viewed in 210 nm and UV light, respectively. These results demonstrate in vitro the salivary amylase inhibitory activity of both plants and their potential as antidiabetic drug candidates; however, further studies need to be done, like isolation and structure elucidation of active components and toxicity assays. Keywords: Amylase inhibition, phytochemical quantification, Carica papaya, Garcinia mangostana

Grounding in educational science and social accountability are raising issues.Objective: To analyze the situation of the fellowship (FCPS, Part-II) training in Gynaecology & Obstetrics of selected medical colleges in Bangladesh.Methodology: This descriptive type of cross sectional study was conducted among 50 supervisors of Obstetrics & Gynae dept. at selected medical colleges four in Dhaka city and four outside Dhaka. This study was carried out from January to December, 2014. The sampling technique was convenient sampling. In-depth interview of the supervisors was taken.Results: During interview majority (60%) of the supervisors told that the curriculum is followed in Obs & Gynae Part 11 course which is made by BCPS is standard. About 80% supervisors told that the institution has well developed infrastructure, academic complex and OT complex for training and 70% told that there are well organized investigation facilities and instruments available. Majority of the supervisors (80%) told that supervisors and trainees ratio is proper. Majority of the supervisors (75%) told that training is full time and residential. Majority of the supervisors (95%) told that patient care services (outdoor, indoor and emergency) are satisfactory. About 80% supervisors told that they have not good library facilities with latest books and journals. Internet/website facilities are also not available in all libraries. Most of the supervisor (80%) respondents believed that their hospital should have a mechanism for consultation, feedback and supervisory assessments system.Conclusion: So significant room exists for improvement in the quality of fellowship training as indicated by the less than desirable proportion of trainees being satisfied with different aspects of training. Faculty members who constitute the cornerstone of educational process are pivotal to effect the desired improvements.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Education Vol.6(1) 2015: 8-11
Synchrotron Spectrum of Fast Cooling Electrons in GRBs
Authors: Zhao Xiao-Hong , Bai Jin-Ming
Published: April 2017

We discuss the synchrotron emission of fast cooling electrons in shocks. The fast cooling electrons behind the shocks can generate a position-dependent inhomogeneous electron distribution if they do not have enough time to mix homogeneously. This can lead to a very different synchrotron spectrum in low-frequency bands from that in the homogeneous case, due to the synchrotron absorption. In this paper, we calculate the synchrotron spectrum in the inhomogeneous case in a gamma-ray burst (GRB). Both the forward shock and the reverse shock are considered. We find that for the reverse shock dominated case, we would expect a “reverse shock bump” in the low-frequency spectrum. The spectral bump is due to the combination of synchrotron absorption in both the forward and reverse shock regions. In the low frequencies the forward shock spectrum has two unconventional segments, with spectral slopes of

and 11/8. The slope of 11/8 has been found by some authors, while the slope of

is new and due to the approximately constant electron temperature in the optically thick region. In the future, simultaneous observations in multiple bands (especially in the low-frequency bands) in the GRB early afterglow or prompt emission phases will possibly reveal these spectral characteristics and enable us to identify the reverse shock component and distinguish between the forward and reverse shock emissions. This also may be a method with which to diagnose the electron distribution status (homogeneous or inhomogeneous) after fast cooling in the relativistic shock region.

We analyze a sample of z-dropout galaxies in the CANDELS GOODS South and UDS fields that have been targeted by a dedicated spectroscopic campaign aimed at detecting their Lyα line. Deep IRAC observations at 3.6 and 4.5 μm are used to determine the strength of optical emission lines affecting these bands at z ∼ 6.5–6.9 in order to (1) investigate possible physical differences between Lyα emitting and non-emitting sources; (2) constrain the escape fraction of ionizing photons; and (3) provide an estimate of the specific star formation rate at high redshifts. We find evidence of strong [O iii]+Hβ emission in the average (stacked) SEDs of galaxies both with and without Lyα emission. The blue IRAC [3.6]–[4.5] color of the stack with detected Lyα line can be converted into a rest-frame equivalent width EW([O iii]+Hβ) = 

Å assuming a flat intrinsic stellar continuum. This strong optical line emission enables a first estimate of

on the escape fraction of ionizing photons from Lyα detected objects. The objects with no Lyα line show less extreme EW([O iii]+Hβ) = 

Å, suggesting different physical conditions of the H ii regions with respect to Lyα-emitting ones, or a larger

. The latter case is consistent with a combined evolution of

and the neutral hydrogen fraction as an explanation of the lack of bright Lyα emission at z > 6. A lower limit on the specific star formation rate, SSFR > 9.1 Gyr−1 for

galaxies at these redshifts can be derived from the spectroscopically confirmed sample.
