PCR analysis of CMV in hematology patients
Authors: Özlü Can , Ergene Ülkü
Published: February 2024

Objectives: In this study we aimed to analyze cytomegalovirus (CMV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results in non-transplant patients.

Patients and methods: Although we do not currently perform bone marrow transplant (BMT), we conducted a retrospective analysis of CMV DNA PCR monitoring (twice-weekly) of 91 hospitalized patients (with 306 peripheral blood) (47 males, 44 females; mean age 62+2.3 year; range, 25 to 85 year). For this purpose, we reviewed CMV DNA PCR records of patients in our clinic.

Results: The results of CMV DNA PCR in 91 non-transplant patients are analyzed retrospectively in this study. CMV DNA PCR test results were positive in 10 patients (a total of 17 peripheral blood) while negative in 81 patients (a total of 289 peripheral blood). We did not begin antiviral therapy in patients with positive CMV DNA PCR results. Because it is incompatible with the patients’ clinical CMV DNA PCR positive CMV infection. None of the 91 patients enrolled in the study are transplant recipients, and they did not receive alemtuzumab treatment. Three of 10 CMV DNA PCR-positive patients had multiple myeloma (MM) with renal failure. One of the MM patients was diabetic. Three patients were diagnosed with acute myeloblastic leukemia and received chemotherapy; two patients were diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenic purpura; one patient was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and one patient received therapy for the diagnosis of aplastic anemia. They were given treatment protocols based on their diagnosis. None of our patients has specific clinical CMV infection clinical findings.

Conclusion: We conclude that close CMV DNA PCR monitoring in non-transplant hematology patients is not cost-effective. Even though it is not recommended for other hematology patients, close monitoring of CMV DNA PCR is still performed in many clinics in Turkey, and we suspect it is still performed in clinics abroad.

Published: February 2024

Numerous studies on the function of sleep have been conducted, getting a great deal of information. One of them is the effect of sleep on memory. Investigations have been performed to see how sleep and wakefulness affect the outcome of memory-related tasks such as learning and skill development, and it has been observed that the sleep state yields better results. After identifying rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep and separating sleep into REM and non-rapid-eye movement (NREM), the memory interaction of sleep in these two stages began to be examined separately. Because there are neurochemical, electrophysiological, and neurobiological differences between these two stages of sleep, and these differences influence showing the effect of sleep on memory in different ways and at different times. To prove this idea, research and hypotheses dealing with these two stages separately were conducted, and the interaction of sleep and memory was tried to be explained. The findings revealed that sleep is an important factor in memory consolidation and that different periods of sleep have a beneficial effect on different types of memory.

CAMINHOS PARA A INCLUSÃO SOCIAL: A CONSTRUÇÃO DE POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS DE ESPORTE COMO AGENTE TRANSFORMADOR
Authors: Machado Marcelo Antonio Diniz Resende
Published: February 2024

Este estudo se propõe a abordar a temática da construção de políticas públicas direcionadas ao esporte como mecanismo de transformação social por meio da inclusão. Os estudos sobre políticas públicas de esporte e lazer no Brasil remontam à década de 80, embora a estrutura política administrativa nacional dedicada ao tema tenha sido criada na década de 30 com a intenção de construir e difundir o nacionalismo. Com a promulgação da Constituição Federal de 1988, o esporte passa a ser considerado como direito social e dever do Estado, sendo que a criação do Ministério do Esporte é muito mais recente, no ano de 2003, abrindo caminho para a criação de políticas públicas direcionadas especificamente para este setor. Atualmente, o Brasil conta com vários tipos de programas e projetos sociais na área do esporte, por iniciativa da Secretaria Nacional de Esporte, Educação, Lazer e Inclusão Social (SNELIS), à exemplo do Programa Segundo Tempo e Esporte e Lazer na Cidade, que representam uma oportunidade de promoção da inclusão social, melhoria da educação e resgate da cidadania. Os projetos sociais relacionados ao esporte também estão presentes nas iniciativas não governamentais, que tem por objetivo as necessidades de desenvolvimento social. Além disso, o esporte no Brasil tem ganhado um destaque maior pelos eventos internacionais que sediou, dentre eles os Jogos Pan-Americanos e Parapan-americanos, bem como os jogos militares de 2011, a Copa das Confederações de 2013 e a Copa do Mundo de 2014. Dentro deste contexto foram realizadas as Confederações Nacionais do Esporte de 2004, 2007 e 2010, objetivando entre outras coisas a democratização do esporte e a participação popular, bem como a criação do Centro de Desenvolvimento do Esporte e do Lazer (Rede Cedes), com a proposta de gerir as políticas públicas dedicadas ao esporte e lazer apoiado em estudos acadêmicos, e a criação da Rede de Treinamento, criada em 2011, cuja proposta é interligar toda a infraestrutura do país. Partindo destas considerações, buscando atender ao objetivo da pesquisa, discutir a importância das políticas públicas como agente transformador por meio da inclusão social, propôs-se a realização de uma revisão de literatura sobre o tema, na forma de pesquisa bibliográfica exploratória e descritiva. Para este fim, foram utilizadas as palavras chave “políticas públicas” AND “esporte” AND “inclusão social” no banco de dados do Google Acadêmico e SciELO, visando acessar artigos e monografias disponíveis na íntegra, em lingua portuguesa e que sejam pertinentes com o tema da criação de políticas publicas direcionadas ao esporte como instrumento de transformação por meio da inclusão social.

Remappings of a Region: Popular Map Images Around and Beyond ‘Southeast Asia’
Authors: Hera Hera
Published: February 2024

Our spatial understandings and perceptions are augmented by media representations of spaces. Whilst maps are often studied within the academic fields of geography and art history, their discussion within the context of design and design history remains insufficient. This paper delves into the study of popular maps as cross-cultural design artefacts. This is done through case studies from the perspective of graphic communication, analyzing maps along their symbolic, narrative, and discursive interpretations as well as how they interplay with lived experiences. The period from 1930s to the 1960s saw several events that led to frequent remappings of geo-entities around the loose assemblage of nations that we now know as Southeast Asia, which included the birth of new nations and the forging of alliances. This process of repeated remappings enables an interesting study on the nature of maps, their instrumentalization, and their consumption.
Study of Pan-Sensualism as a Cross-Cultural Form: An Artwork by Jim Supangkat; Ken Dedes (1975)
Authors: Wibowo Aprilia Ariesty , Putri Kiki Rizky Soetisna , Damajanti Irma
Published: February 2024

This study examined the use of the term ‘Pan-Sensualism’ in the discourse on contemporary Indonesian new art and how this manifested itself in artworks created at the beginning of the Indonesian New Order era (1966-1998). Jim Supangkat was one of the artists and initiators in forming the artist group Gerakan Seni Rupa Baru Indonesia (Indonesian New Art Movement), which then organized the first Seni Rupa Baru 75 exhibition in 1975. Jim Supangkat presented six installation works with different narratives, but Ken Dedes was the only one that presented the dialectic of traditional and modern culture. The Prajnaparamita, or Ken Dedes statue is presented with a drawing of the body of a woman wearing jeans with the buttons open. In looking at the formal, social-historical, cultural, feministic, and other elements in the work of Ken Dedes (1975-1996), we used the iconographic research method. This method helps to see several aspects of Supangkat’s visual works related to the aesthetic paradigm of Pan-Sensualism and the intersection of two cultural elements, i.e., high and low art, which may be distinguished based on social class appreciation.

Family enterprises have as their main characteristic the management by their own family and in them, the family works directly, with or without the help of others. It can be said that family farming represents a social innovation and that, regardless of the size of the enterprise, it must be managed to remain sustainable. With this in mind, this chapter deals with a study that aimed to program a software for the technical and economic management of the dairy production system of family farms, so that their managers will have data for decision-making in the rural business, as well as the professionals of the rural extension can provide rural assistance. The first step of the research was based on the identification and characterization of the evolutionary profile of small family farms, to identifying the technical demands of dairy farming on these family farms. The second step was the development of the computerized app, which used open-source PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) programming language and was stored on the internet. The application can be accessed at http://www.pmppa.com.br/gestor/, running on the Window platform. The final step was the application test with the researched family farm properties data. The computerized app consists of easy data entry and handling, accessed online, with tools for zootechnical control (nutritional, reproductive and sanitary management) and management (production cost). The result was a free computerized app that generates and provides information in a simple and practical way, providing the family farmer with resources for simple and complex decision making. The application was registered at INPI through the number 512018051699-8.

Authors: Wang Dong , Nash Tim , Sullivan Tim , Thurstun David
Published: February 2024

This paper presents the sampling and laboratory testing results of mine waste rock consisting of limestone, siltstone, and intrusive materials collected from the Ok Tedi open pit mine in Papua New Guinea. The laboratory tests included specific gravity measurements, index testing, large-scale direct shear tests using a 720 mm square direct shear apparatus, large-scale consolidation tests using a 550 mm diameter consolidation apparatus, and shear wave velocity tests conducted on compressed waste rock samples. The obtained strength values, as well as small and larger strain modulus values, were subsequently compared with existing literature data from the literature. These findings can serve as a valuable reference for mine waste materials with similar lithology, particle size distribution, and stress condition, particularly in the context of static and seismic slope stability designs.
The impact of assumptions on deterministic and probabilistic analyses of earth fill embankments
Authors: Waddell Peter
Published: February 2024

This paper considers the impact of assumptions made when formulating analytic approaches to deterministic and probabilistic analyses of slope stability. The assumptions reviewed were presented in a paper, Waddell (2023) that presented semi-quantitative stability assessment using survey data, deterministic and probabilistic slope stability analyses of fill embankments constructed from residual soil and weathered bedrock in Western Sydney. A single variable fill strength was adopted, that was obtained from an Infinite Slope analysis assuming fully saturated fill. Rainfall records were used to predict risk of saturation to calculate annual probability of slope failure. The impacts of assumptions used to calculate the strength parameter, factor of safety and predicted failure probability are addressed in this paper. Saturation assumptions, the choice of limit equilibrium model, shape of the probability distribution functions, and spatial correlation of material properties are considered.

The data obtained are primary data. Data analysis techniques used are qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques. The results of the study obtained by the authors, that is, there are two effects of the South China Sea conflict on trade relations between South Korea and China. First, trade instability in the South China Sea resulting in  a decline in trade figures due to escalating conflict. Second, China's dominance in the South China Sea, which as a major player plays an important role, especially controlling the South China Sea and putting pressure on other countries. It often acts as a trigger for conflict even as China benefits from the South China Sea conflict. For South Korea-China trade relations that are more disadvantaged by South Korea, although an indirect influence, there are other dynamics that affect the relationship between the two such as THAAD

Published: February 2024

As a member of the Basel convention, China is committed to strictly limiting the import of plastic waste in order to maintain the quality of the country's environment. This study aims to determine and analyze the implementation of the Basel International Convention on handling waste imports in China. The research method used was a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection was carried out through literature review. The results show that the implementation of the Basel International Convention in handling waste imports in China has been successful, in terms of indicators of successful policy implementation, namely; content of policy and context of implementation. The implementation results show that China's policy of closing waste imports through the Green Fence Operation Policy and the National Sword Policy has a positive impact on reducing the amount of waste imports entering China. This decline has also affected changes in China's environment, be it water quality, air and those polluted by garbage. Although the changes still require a lot of improvement efforts, the success of implementation is also influenced by the Xi Jinping government regime which supports environmental reforms towards development progress with attention to ecological protection.

Authors: Muh. Asy'ari
Published: February 2024

This research is based on the existence of the transnational peasant movement and the interaction of the Indonesian local peasant movement in transnational agrarian politics. This research takes a case study of the Asian Peasant Coalition (APC) as a transnational farmer organization in Indonesia. Using qualitative methods carried out by reviewing documents and interviews, this study seeks to explain the transnational activism of the Asian Peasant Coalition (APC) within the collective identity and encourage the struggle of local peasant organization in Indonesia. To explain the above, this study uses the Transnational Activism concept developed by Sidney Tarrow to analyze and transnational activities. In addition, this study also uses framing theory in the collective to analyze how the solidarity of transnational farmer movements and local farmer movements can be formed and maintained during the advocacy process. This research finds and concludes that the ordering of local land grabbing collective problems campaigned and advocated at the global level by APC is carried out through the stages of development of Transnational Contention. The impact of this phase is what supports the problems of local farmers to become part of the national movement and will eventually create solidarity movements to support farmers at the local level. It is in this context that the solidarity and collective identity of the transnational peasant movement is formed and enables the birth of transnational actors at the local level.

Indonesia is a developing country that has the characteristics and potential of development resources that rely heavily on the agricultural sector. Indonesia is the third largest source of agricultural products for New Zealand. New Zealand invites North Toraja to cooperate in agriculture and plantations which is realized through the Sister City collaboration. The existence of sister city cooperation that is woven gives little space and hope for the people of North Toraja, especially in the realization of agricultural development goals in North Toraja. The research uses qualitative methods. Related to this research, the author uses primary data collection techniques, namely interviews and secondary data, namely literature, journals and related documents. The results showed that the sister city cooperation agreement did not run optimally, the contents of the agreement were not fully actualized and the stages were not complete. This was caused by factors, namely not being followed-up properly, the budget was limited, Human Resources were not/not ready and the parties who bridged the two partners did not carry out their duties properly.

During the construction of World Cup 2022 infrastructures in Qatar there assumed to be human rights violations against migrant workers. Around 1200 migrant workers died between the year of 2010-2014 because of forced labor, bad environment, withholding wages, limited access to proper health care, discriminatory and exploitative treatment. This paper aims to describe the failure Kafala system which argued to enable the exploitation or violation of human rights against migrant workers by using qualitative research methods. The results of this study show that Qatar as an actor who responsible to secure the human rights of migrant workers has not succeeded in making a proper policy as a solution to the human rights violations that have occurred and instead created new problems from its attempt to reform the policy. Second, the gulf countries do not want to abolish the Kafala system and require its implementation because migrant workers make a major contribution to the development of their countries.

This study aims to analyze the characteristics and performance of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) synthesized using soursop leaf extract bioreductor modified with the addition of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) stabilizer as a colorimetric sensor for heavy metal ions. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles was carried out by reducing AgNO3 using soursop leaf extract (Annona muricata Linn) bioreductor modified with the addition of PVP as stabilizer. The results showed that the optimum synthesis volume ratio of AgNP synthesis was 0.7 mL of soursop leaf extract: 10 mL AgNO3 with the addition of 3% PVP stabilizer. The formation of AgNP was characterized by a change in the color of the solution from yellow to brownish with a surface plasmon resonance peak at a maximum wavelength of 438 nm. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy studies showed hydroxyl groups (-OH) and carbonyl groups (C=O) play a role in the reduction process of silver ions. Particle size analysis results demonstrated an average particle size of 71.5 nm with a polydispersity index value of 0.364. The results of the colorimetric analysis showed that the synthesized AgNPs proved to be highly selective towards Cu metal ions.

AuPt Bimetal has been successfully synthesized by electrodeposition method with potentiostat technique. By varying the concentration of Au ions in the solution they are able to control the morphology and composition of the synthesized sample. The morphology obtained from the AuPt synthesis is cauliflower. The effect of Au ion concentration in solution on the catalytic performance of AuPt, the greater the Au concentration, the greater the current density in the electrooxidation reaction. In addition, the concentration of Au ions in the solution affects the results of the deposition of Au and Pt elements. In the study of AuPt nanocatalysts with a 0.4 mM Au ion concentration in an electrolyte solution, it was shown to have good catalytic activity in the ethanol electrooxidation reaction, with the resulting current densities and If/Ib of 10.1 mA/cm2 and 43.53 mA/cm2, respectively. This is an implication of many Au compositions which are known to have the ability to absorb and oxidize CO to encourage an increase in current density and increase its catalytic activity.

Intervarietal grafting, and in some cases interspecific grafting, practiced mainly in horticultural crops has many practical applications. Grafting can also be a useful tool to perform basic physiological, biochemical, and molecular studies to better understand communication between shoot and root in a row crop, such as cotton. We have established a grafting protocol for upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genotypes. Although less efficient, it can be used to create grafts between upland and Pima (G. barbadense) or Old-world cottons (G. arboreum or G. herbaceum). The procedure used 8-day-old seedlings grown in culture under sterile conditions to obtain the scion and rootstock. The scion consisted of the shoot apical meristem with a few leaf primordia, epicotyl, and a small portion of the hypocotyl with the cotyledons removed. The rootstock retained 2 to 3 cm of basal hypocotyl portion with the roots trimmed. Cleft grafts were assembled under aseptic conditions followed by their culture in vitro. Once established, as indicated by the healthy growth of three to four true leaves and roots, the grafts were moved to soil in small pots. After hardening the grafts on a laboratory bench for few weeks, they were transferred to larger pots and grown to maturity in a greenhouse to obtain seeds. The success rate using our protocol ranged from 90 to 100% for Coker 312 genotype and its derivative transgenic and gene edited lines. The method was also applicable to generate intervarietal and interspecific graft unions among various types of cotton plants.

Mục tiêu: Xác định nồng độ adiponectin huyết thanh và mối tương quan với chỉ số BMI, tình trạng kháng insulin tại tuần thai 24 - 28 và thời điểm trước sinh ở đối tượng đái tháo đường thai kỳ (ĐTĐTK). Phương pháp nghiên cứu: Nghiên cứu mô tả cắt ngang, theo dõi dọc và có đối chứng trên 115 thai phụ ĐTĐTK và 115 thai phụ dung nạp glucose bình thường, được lựa chọn ở tuần thai 24 - 28 và hoàn thành nghiên cứu. Nồng độ adiponectin huyết thanh của đối tượng được đo bằng phương pháp xét nghiệm miễn dịch hấp thụ liên kết enzyme (ELISA) vào tuần 24 - 28 của thai kỳ và trước sinh. Các đặc điểm lâm sàng, nồng độ insulin huyết thanh và đánh giá mô hình cân bằng nội môi về tình trạng kháng insulin cũng được thực hiện. Kết quả: Nồng độ adiponectin huyết thanh ở đối tượng ĐTĐTK thấp hơn đáng kể so với thai phụ bình thường ở tuần thai 24 - 28 và thời điểm trước sinh (p < 0,001). Ở cả hai thời điểm, có mối tương quan nghịch giữa nồng độ adiponectin huyết thanh với chỉ số BMI trước mang thai, cân nặng mẹ, nồng độ insulin huyết thanh và chỉ số HOMA-IR ở đối tượng ĐTĐTK (p < 0,05). Kết luận: Nồng độ adiponectin huyết thanh thấp hơn ở đối tượng ĐTĐTK và có mối tương quan nghịch với tình trạng kháng insulin.
