Authors: Saragih, M.M. Drs. Juli Panglima
Published: February 2019

Industri manufaktur merupakan salah satu sektor penting dalam perekonomian nasional. Kontribusinya semakin meningkat terhadap PDB sejak 2005 seperti halnya industri manufaktur di Sumatra. Industri manufaktur Sumatra sebagian besar berbasis perkebunan, sumber daya alam minyak dan gas bumi. Penelitian ini mengkaji dan menganalysis kinerja industri manufaktur di Sumatra dengan menggunakan metode (Standardized) Location Quotient yakni mengkaji kinerja industri manufaktur Sumatra kontribusinya terhadap PDB Sumatra dan industri manufaktur nasional. Metode analysis LQ menggunakan data-data industri manufaktur se-Sumatra periode 2010-2015. Dari hasil analisa tersebut dapat disimpulkan antara lain bahwa industri manufaktur di Sumatra periode 2010-2015 memiliki nilai LQ˂1. Artinya secara agregat industri manufaktur di Sumatra masih belum dapat diandalkan untuk percepatan pertumbuhan ekonomi (PDB) Sumatra walaupun berkontribusi positif terhadap industri manufaktur nasional. Secara keseluruhan, industri manufaktur tumbuh signifikan hanya terjadi di 3 provinsi yakni Sumatra Utara, Kepuluan Riau, dan Riau periode 2010-2015. Tetapi 2 provinsi lain seperti Sumsel dan Lampung dengan pertumbuhan industri yang moderat. Sedangkan 5 provinsi sisanya mengalami pertumbuhan yang sangat lambat periode yang sama. Secara nasional kontribusi industri manufaktur Sumatra relatif besar setelah Pulau Jawa dibandingkan daerah lain di luar Jawa. Alternatif solusi yang dapat ditempuh adalah perlu diverfsifikasi industri Sumatra sesuai potensi sumber daya yang dimiliki untuk memperkuat struktur industri manufaktur di Sumatra yang tidak hanya industri berbasis perkebunan dan sumber daya alam. Pilihan industri yang tepat tidak mudah tetapi penting. Kebijakan industri nasional jangka menengah 2015-2019 diharapkan dapat mendorong pertumbuhan industri di Sumatra dan Indonesia ke depan.

Insulin Resistance and Polycystic ovary Syndrome: A Review
Authors: Maqbool Mudasir , Dar Mohmad Amin , Gani Imran , Geer Mohammad Ishaq
Published: February 2019

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common, yet complex, endocrine disorder affecting women in their reproductive years and is a leading cause of infertility. This disease appears to be multifactorial and polygenic in nature involving multisystem dysfunction, namely reproduction, endocrine and metabolic. Hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance appear to be central cause to the pathophysiology of the disease. The glucose and insulin metabolism pathways have been studied and debated to understand whether Insulin Resistance is due to a defect in insulin action or a primary defect in β-cell function or decreased hepatic clearance of insulin, or a combination of all these factors. Numerous studies have demonstrated that obese, normal weight and thin women with PCOS have a form of insulin resistance that is unique and intrinsic to the disorder. Moreover obese women with PCOS possess an additional burden of insulin resistance resulting from their excess adiposity. Hyperinsulinemia leads to increase in androgen production directly by acting as a co-gonadotropin, augmenting Luteinizing Hormone activity within the ovary, and indirectly by increasing serum LH pulse amplitude. Whereas Androgens may in turn contribute at least partially to the insulin resistance state linked with PCOS.  In this review, we will briefly study the role of insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome.

Keywords: Polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance, Hyperandrogenism.

Authors: Amalorpavamary G , Dineshkumar G , Jayaseelan K
Published: February 2019

In recent times, plant-mediated synthesis of nanoparticles has garnered wide interest owing to its inherent features such as rapidity, simplicity, eco-friendliness and cheaper costs. For the first time, silver nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using Phyllanthus niruri leaf extract in the current investigation. The silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV–Vis spectrophotometer and the characteristic surface plasmon resonance peak was identified to be 423 nm. The morphology of the silver nanoparticles was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The size of the silver nanoparticles was found to be 10-50 nm, with an average size 15 nm.  FTIR analysis was done to identify the functional groups responsible for the synthesis of the AgNPs. The antibacterial potential of synthesized AgNPs was compared with that of aqueous extracts of P.niruri by well diffusion method. The AgNPs at 50µl concentration significantly inhibited bacterial growth against A.hydrophila (16 ± 0.09 mm). Thus AgNPs showed broad spectrum antibacterial activity at lower concentration and may be a good alternative therapeutic approach in future.

Animal Models in Diabetes Mellitus: An Overview
Authors: Maqbool Mudasir , Dar Mohmad Amin , Gani Imran , Mir Suhail Ahmad
Published: February 2019

Diabetes mellitus is defined as a state in which homeostasis of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism is improperly regulated by insulin. This results primarily in elevated fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels. If this imbalanced homeostasis dose not returns to normalcy and continues for a protracted period of time, it leads to hyperglycemia, which in due course turns into a syndrome called diabetes mellitus. Several animal models have been developed for studying diabetes mellitus or testing anti-diabetic agents. These models include chemical, surgical (pancreatectomy) and genetic manipulations in several animal species to induce diabetes mellitus. The diabetogenic drugs used include: Alloxan monohydrate, Streptozotocin with or without nicotinamide, Ferric nitrilotriacetate, Ditizona and Anti-insulin serum. The selection of these models to use for investigating the antidiabetic properties of a new compound may be a very difficult task especially for young researchers. The aim of the present review is give a brief idea about various experimental models developed for studying diabetes mellitus, assess the merits and demerits of each model and highlight the precautions needed to avoid erroneous results during the applications of these models.

Keywords: Diabetes Mellitus, Animal models, Alloxan, Streptozotocin.

Digitalization of Technological Processes of Crop Production in Russia
Authors: Korotchenya V. M. , Lichman G. I. , Smirnov I. G.
Published: February 2019

Currently, the influence of program documents on digital agriculture development is rather great in our country. Within the framework of the European Association of Agricultural Mechanical Engineering, a relevant definition of agriculture 4.0 has been elaborated and introduced.

Research purpose: offering general recommendations on the digitalization of agriculture in Russia

Materials and methods. The authors make use of the normative approach: the core of digital agriculture is compared with the current state of the agricultural sector in Russia.

Results and discussion. The analysis has found that digital agriculture (agriculture 4.0 and 5.0) is based on developed mechanized technologies (agriculture 2.0), precision agriculture technologies (agriculture 3.0), the use of such digital technologies and technical means as the Internet of things, artificial intelligence, and robotics. The success of introducing digital agriculture depends on the success of all the three levels of the system. However, the problem of the lack of agricultural machinery indicates insufficient development of mechanized technologies;  poor implementation of precision agriculture technologies means the lack of experience of using these technologies by the majority of farms in our country; an insufficient number of leading Russian IT companies (such as Amazon, Apple, Google, IBM, Intel, Microsoft etc.) weakens the country’s capacity in making a breakthrough in the development of the Internet of things, artificial intelligence, and robotics.

Conclusions.The authors have identified the need to form scientific approaches to the digitization of technological operations used in the cultivation of agricultural crops and classified precision agriculture technologies. They have underlined that the digitization of agricultural production in Russia must be carried out along with intensified mechanization (energy saturation); also, to introduce technologies of precision agriculture and digital agriculture, it is necessary to organize state-funded centers for training farmers in the use of these technologies. Finally, it is necessary to take measures to strengthen the development of the IT sphere, as well as formulate an integral approach to the problem of digitalization.
Pre-Sowing Treatment of Leguminous Crop Seeds with a Magnetic Field
Authors: Kozyrskiy V. V. , Savchenko V. V. , Sinyavskiy A. Yu.
Published: February 2019

Pre-sowing treatment of seeds in a magnetic field can increase crop yields, reduce the incidence of plants and improve product quality.

Research purposeTo analyze the mechanism of the magnetic field influence on seeds, determine the most effective mode of pre-sowing treatment of leguminous crop seeds in a magnetic field and design parameters of the equipment.

Materials and methodsThe authors have determined that under the influence of a magnetic field, the rate of chemical and biochemical reactions in plant cells increases, the transport of ions and molecules through the cell membrane increases, and the membrane permeability increases, so the sowing qualities of seeds improve and their yield increases. Experimental studies were carried out with seeds of "Adagumsky" peas variety and "Gribovsky" beans variety, using the experiment planning method. Magnetic induction and the velocity of seed movement in a magnetic field were taken as influencing factors.

Results and discussionWith a change in the magnetic induction from 0 to 0.065 T, the germination energy, germination, biometric indicators, and the yield of peas and beans increase, while with further increase in magnetic induction they decrease. It has been revealed that the use of four-time magnetization reversal enhances the effect of magnetic seed treatment. The velocity of seeds is a less significant factor than magnetic induction. The most effective treatment mode occurred at an energy dose of 1.90 J·s/kg for peas and 1.86 J·s/kg for beans, which is provided for a pole division of 0.23 metre. The authors have designed a plant for pre-sowing treatment of seeds in a magnetic field, which consists of four pairs of magnets installed in parallel above and below the conveyor belt with variable polarity.

ConclusionThe most effective pre-sowing treatment of leguminous crop seeds in a magnetic field is a magnetic induction of 0.065 T with fourfold reversal and a conveyer movement speed of 0.4 metre per seconds, which provides an increase in peas yield by 42 percent, and that of beans – by 23 percent.
Non-linear response of firm investment to q: Evidence from Greek listed firms
Authors: Kallandranis Christos
Published: February 2019

A dynamic-panel model is applied in order to empirically investigate the relationship between business fixed investment and Tobin’s q for the firms listed in the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE). In particular, we search for non-linearities in the underlying relationship between investment and fundamentals, consistent with the presence of multiple regimes. The empirical results support a discontinuity identifying two-regimes: (a) wherein the first (for values of q below a certain threshold) investment is inelastic to q, while in the second it exhibits a positive relationship, and b) a further non-linearity expressed in a concavity of the investment- q relationship implying that for the segment where investment reacts to fundamentals positively, it does so at a decreasing rate evidence which is consistent with the presence of non-convexities in adjustment costs

Authors: Sasic-Zoric Ljiljana , Acanski Jelena , Djan Mihajla , Kocis-Tubic Natasa , Velickovic Nevena , Radenkovic Snezana , Vujic Ante
Published: February 2019

In this research, we applied integrative taxonomy approach in order to
delimit species of Merodon caerulescens species complex. Molecular analyses
confirmed COI sequence divergence between the Rhodes and Crete populations.
Additionally, ITS2 sequences show certain differences which should be
additionally tested. 28S rRNA gene sequences once again proved to be too
conserved for closely related species delimitation. Geometric morphometry
results indicate differences in wings shape between males and females of the
two islands populations. Additionally, subtle differences between the two
populations in the body coverage and colouration of hairs are also observed.
Thus, based on the all presented evidence we concluded that taxon Merodon
caerulescens is a complex of two species, M. caerulescens (Rhodes) and M.
atricapillatus sp. n. (Crete).

Published: February 2019

Esse artigo analisa o nível do crescimento econômico e a sua convergência entre as microrregiões do Sul do Brasil, nos anos de 2003 a 2010. Os procedimentos metodológicos foram a estimativa de indicadores de nível de crescimento econômico e disparidades regionais, bem como a análise exploratória de dados (AEDE) e estimativas econométricas por meio de painel espacial. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstraram que ao final de 2010, o crescimento econômico das microrregiões mais deprimidas foi maior do que nas microrregiões mais dinâmicas. Esse resultado indicou que o PIB per capita das microrregiões sulinas convergiu em função dos investimentos em capital físico, em capital humano e de outros aspectos espaciais. Outro resultado importante da análise dos dados veio no “efeito espraiamento”, ou seja, quando determinada região cresce, parte desse crescimento econômico também beneficia as microrregiões da sua área de abrangência, criando um ciclo virtuoso do crescimento regional

Authors: Zanin Vanclei , Bacchi Mirian Rumenos Piedade
Published: February 2019

O crescimento das exportações brasileiras de arroz é um fenômeno recente e que vem auxiliando na estabilidade de preços no mercado interno. Nesse contexto, entender os determinantes dessa inserção externa é fundamental para se desenhar estratégias/políticas públicas e setoriais. Assim sendo, no presente trabalho estimou-se um modelo para explicar a oferta de exportações, por meio da metodologia VAR estrutural, utilizando-se dados mensais para o período janeiro de 2009 a janeiro de 2016. Os resultados gerais indicam que o aquecimento da demanda interna, capturado pelo aumento do PIB, tem forte impacto negativo e persistente nas exportações brasileiras do cereal. O efeito de um choque sobre o preço ao produtor é positivo e persistente sobre as exportações. A elasticidade das exportações em relação ao preço de exportação é positiva, mas se dissipa no tempo. Enquanto que o impacto de um choque na taxa de câmbio é positivo somente contemporaneamente sobre as exportações de arroz. Por fim, destaca-se que a definição de estratégias para o setor deve considerar aspectos relativos aos tipos de produtos e aos mercados já alcançados pela orizicultura nacional.

O presente artigo busca identificar os determinantes que influenciam o conhecimento e a utilização de contratos entre os produtores de manga do Polo Petrolina-Juazeiro. Para tanto, foi utilizado um modelo logit multinomial em função da escolha do produtor em “não conhecer o mercado de contratos” e em “conhecer e não fazer uso desse mercado”. A categoria de comparação do modelo foi a dos produtores que declararam “conhecer e utilizar contratos”. Em termos de efeitos marginais, os resultados mostram que a propensão a conhecer e a participar do mercado de contratos são ambas aumentadas quando o “produtor médio” passa a ter acesso a assistência técnica e a treinamento. No tocante aos fatores que explicam a estimação logit multinomial, há diferenças nas variáveis, o que aprofunda a compreensão do tema em questão.

O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar o efeito dos BRICS sobre a expansão das exportações brasileiras de produtos agrícolas e industrializados no período de 2002 a 2015. Também teve o intuito de verificar se, a partir da crise de 2008, houve o “efeito-BRICS” sobre os fluxos comerciais de produtos agrícolas e industrializados no período de 2002 a 2015. Além disso, teve o propósito de analisar os efeitos da imposição de tarifas e das medidas técnicas, sanitárias e fitossanitárias sobre as exportações brasileiras de produtos agrícolas e industrializados para o mesmo período. Para isso utilizou-se o modelo gravitacional. Os resultados não confirmaram a hipótese de um “efeito-BRICS” sobre as exportações agrícolas, mas se confirmou a hipótese desse efeito sobre os produtos industrializados. Além disso, confirmou-se o “efeito-BRICS” no período de crise, fazendo com que o Brasil sentisse de forma mais amena as consequências da mesma. Com relação às medidas SPS e TBT, confirmou-se o efeito negativo da primeira para produtos agrícolas e da segunda para produtos industrializados. No que concerne as tarifas, elas tiveram efeito positivo sobre os produtos industrializados.

Este estudo analisou as variáveis relacionadas à eficiência ambiental de longo prazo da produção láctea em Minas Gerais no ano de 2005. A análise de agrupamentos, a análise envoltória de dados e uma regressão quantílica foram utilizadas como métodos de estudo. Os resultados destacaram a predominância do baixo desempenho ambiental da produção láctea e a pequena influência dos mecanismos governamentais na melhoria desse cenário. Entretanto, também indicaram uma provável tendência à elevação da eficiência ambiental, haja vista que ela está associada positivamente ao aumento da produção diária, e a cadeia produtiva se encontra propensa ao crescimento da produção e à redução do número de produtores.

A fermentação entérica do gado de corte e leite é a principal responsável pela emissão de metano no Brasil. Apesar dos efeitos ambientais negativos, é uma atividade de grande importância econômica para diversas regiões, dentre as quais o Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba em Minas Gerais. Assim, o presente trabalho estimou uma função de produção, por meio de análise econométrica de fronteira estocástica, visando avaliar a eficiência técnica e ambiental na produção de leite na região do Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba. Para estimar as fronteiras de eficiência técnica e ambiental foi utilizado a metodologia exposta por Reinhard, Lovell e Thijssen (1999). A base de dados utilizada foi disponibilizada pelo projeto Educampo/ SEBRAE com informações de 178 produtores de leite da região analisada para o ano de 2016. Os resultados apontaram que a média da eficiência técnica obtida pelas fazendas analisadas foi de 89%, enquanto a eficiência ambiental foi de 73%. Verificou-se por meio da correlação de Spearman que há uma relação positiva entre as eficiências técnica e ambiental.

Early Onset Preeclampsia (EO-PE) is preeclampsia that develops before 34 weeks 'gestation, caused by intrinsic factors, while Late Onset Preeclampsia (LO-PE) is preeclampsia that develops after 34 weeks' gestation due to extrinsic and maternal factors. There is an increased production of antiangiogenic factors (sFlt-1, s-Eng and PIGF) contribute to pathophysiology of preeclampsia.This study aims to measure the difference of sFlt-1, sEng, PIGF levels between EO-PE and LO-PE. This was an observational study with cross sectional design conducted at Dr. M. Djamil, TK Hospital. III dr. Reksodiwiryo and Biomedical Laboratory FK Unand Padang from August 2017 to August 2018. The sample of this study were 26 severe preeclampsia women : 13 (EO-PE)  and 13 (LO-PE), selected using consecutive sampling. Levels of sFlt-1, sEng, PIGF were examined using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Statistical analysis was performed using unpaired t test and Mann-Whitney Test. Results shown that serum levels of sFlt-1 and sEng in (EO-PE)  were 9.51 ± 0.71 ng / L, 1.44 ± 0.06 ng / mL, 5.79 ± 0.42 ng / mL while in PEAL it was 8, 89 ± 0.78 ng / mL, 1.35 ± 0.14 ng / mL, 6.72 ± 0.76. There were a significant difference with a value of p <0.05. The conclusion of this study is that the levels of sFlt-1 and sEng are higher in (EO-PE)  than(LO-PE)and PIGF levels was lower in (EO-PE) compared to (LO-PE)

Contributing factor to uterus contraction mechanism is the imbalance of the extracellular calcium level. When extracellular calcium level is inadequate, response of the myometrium to oxytocin decreased and the calcium influx inter-cell membranes are suppressed, thus inhibit uterine contractions. The aim of this research is to know the correlation between levels of calcium and the strength of uterine contraction in the active phase of first stage labor. This was a cross-sectional analytic correlative study in the Dr. Rasidin Hospital Padang and UPTD Health Laboratory in West Sumatra province, in was conducted from November 1st, 2014 till February 2016. Sampling was takes by using non probability sampling with consecutive sampling. Subjects of this research were the active phase of first stage labor of 62 people. Kolmogorof Smirnov normality test was used to the normality of the data. Pearson correlation test was conducted to examine the correlation between dependent and independent variables. Mean levels of calcium in the the stage I of  labor respondents active phase (8.94 ±0,71), while mean strength of uterine contractions in active phase of first stage labor(56.77±11,84), there was positive correlation (r = 0,62) between the levels of calcium in the strength of uterine contractions (p < 0.05).

Masa remaja adalah tahapan kehidupan yang dilalui oleh setiap manusia dalam proses perkembangan sejak lahir sampai akhir hayatnya. Di Indonesia jumlah remaja yang berusia  15 sampai 24 tahun sebanyak 20% dari jumlah penduduk keseluruhan. Dan diperkirakan akan meningkat menjadi 29% dari jumlah penduduk Indonesia.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran dan hubungan perilaku seksual remaja dari Siswa SMA di Kota Bekasi ditinjau dari faktor internal (usia, jenis kelamin, pengetahuan tentang KRR dan sikap terhadap KRR) dan faktor eksternal (sumber informasi tentang KRR, pendidikan orang tua, keharmonisan keluarga dan pacar) menggunakan kuesioner yang dibagikan kepada responden yang berjumlah 405 orang, dengan pendekatan kuantitatif melalui rancangan cross sectional study. Populasi adalah siswa SMA Kota Bekasi dari tiga sekolah dan berusia antara 15 sampai 19 tahun. Ada  enam responden yang harus dikeluarkan karena tidak sesuai dengan kriteria sampel, sehingga jumlah 399 orang.

Dari seluruh responden terdapat 45,4% yang berperilaku seksual berat. Berdasarkan distribusi faktor risiko adalah usia 18-19 (11,5%), laki-laki (48,1%), pengetahuan rendah (13,0%), sikap negatif (0,5%), sumber informasi luar keluarga (94,7%), pendidikan ayah tinggi (95,5%), pendidikan ibu tinggi (79,7%), keluarga tidak harmonis (0,0%), dan ada pacar (39,6%).

Variabel-variabel berhubungan bermakna dengan perilaku seksual berat adalah usia, pengetahuan, pendidikan ibu dan pacar. Variabel paling dominan berpengaruh terhadap perilaku seksual berat adalah usia, ditunjukkan nilai OR sebesar 60,222. Artinya remaja yang berusia 18-19 tahun mempunyai risiko 60 kali lebih besar berperilaku seksual berat dibandingkan dengan remaja yang berusia 15-17 tahun, setelah dikontrol dengan variabel pengetahuan, pendidikan ibu dan pacar.

Untuk mengantitisipasi perilaku seksual pada remaja yang berisiko hendaknya ada kerja sama dengan pihak terkait, seperti PKBI dan BKKBN untuk membentuk suatu ”Klinik Edukasi”.
