Facial Soft Tissue Thickness of Midline in an Iranian Sample: MRI Study
Authors: Johari Masume , Esmaeili Farzad , Hamidi Hadi
Published: July 2017

Background and Aim:

To identify human skeletal remains, different methods can be used and using these techniques, important data can be obtained. However, facial reconstruction is the last method to indentify unknown human faces which requires knowledge about facial soft tissue thickness in the different positions of the face. The present study determined the facial soft tissue thickness in the different landmark points on the MRI images of patients referred to Radiology Department of Shahid Madani Hospital.

Materials and Methods:

In this descriptive cross-sectional trial, MRI images of 179 patients (61 males, 118 females) in the age range of 18-76 years old who did not show any pathologic lesions, were selected. The measurements of the facial soft tissue were done on 12 landmark points on the midline area by two radiologist observers using specific software on the images. The differences in the soft tissue thickness in these landmark points were statistically analyzed by Mann-Whitney U (in term of gender) and Kruskal-Wallis tests (in terms of Body Mass Index [BMI] and age groups). P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The data were compared with the results of other studies.

Results:

The results obtained in the present study were higher than Turkish and American studies in most of the landmark points. Facial soft tissue thickness in most of the landmarks was more in males than females. In some of the landmarks, significant differences were found between emaciated, normal and overweight patients while in most cases, soft tissue thickness increased with the increased BMI. In some cases, significant differences were noted between soft tissue thickness values among the different age groups, in which the thickness increased or thinned with the increased age.

Statistical Analysis:

There were statistically significant associations between the presence and surface area of Haller cells and the occurrence of ipsilateral maxillary sinusitis. Neither the angulation of the uncinate process nor the size of the maxillary sinus ostium significantly correlates with the formation of maxillary sinusitis.

Conclusion:

The data achieved in the present study can be used for the facial reconstruction purposes in the Iranian population; however, the slight differences existing between the studied population and other subgroup races must be considered for accurate reconstructions.

Published: July 2017

Background:

In vitro culture techniques provide an excellent platform for the multiplication of recalcitrant species such as coconut and thereby increase the homogeneity of the plantations. Clonal fidelity is one of the most important pre-requisites in a micropropagation protocol of crop species especially those with long life spans.

Objective:

The present study was conducted in order to determine the genetic homogeneity of coconut plantlets derived from unfertilized ovaries through somatic embryogenesis.

Method:

Twenty randomly selected plantlets at acclimatization stage, from two mother palms were subjected to Simple Sequence Repeats analysis. Thirteen highly polymorphic microsatellite primers were used for the detection of genetic fidelity in the clonal plantlets and their respective parent.

Results:

These plantlets showed no apparent differences among themselves and were comparable with the respective mother palm in the Simple Sequence Repeats analysis. The results obtained from this study suggest that there is no somaclonal variation or genetic instability occurring in plantlets that are regenerated from ovary explants.

Conclusion:

The absence of any sign of somaclonal variation suggests that somatic embryogenesis protocol did not induce the changes in gene structure, which had remained stable throughout the period that had been maintained in vitro. Determination of genetic fidelity of in vitro plants proved the suitability of regeneration protocol for large scale micropropagation applications for coconut.

Authors: Dharma Pusaka Mas Anton
Published: July 2017

The area alongside the Gunung Sari Channel has an important meaning to the development of Surabaya City. The rising development in this area which causes the increase of flood events induces negative impacts on the growth of Surabaya City. The flood management plan in Gunung Sari Channel has been conducted by Brantas Project since 1988. This planning was reviewed in 1993 and 1999. This research was conducted to analyze the performance of flood management plan by Brantas Project. It was constructively done by HEC-FDA Software which can develop risk analysis by including economic consideration. Hydro-Economy approach integrated with the HEC-FDA analysis can yield the indicator of flood management plan performance in the form of total cost and risk cost (Expected Annual Damage/EAD). The best total cost yielded from the analysis was Rp. 893,692,230, while the risk cost was Rp. 384,238,410/year. It is expected that this research result can used for achieving best performance for floods management in Gunung Sari Channel.

Authors: Hardiyanto Yovi
Published: July 2017

Water availability problem is encountered by Cengklik Reservoir due to drought disaster in the current year. It causes irrigation water crisis over 850 hectares crop field which of 350 hectares were not cultivated. The risk that must be faced by farmers is decrease in potential productivity, losses about more than 2.5 billion. Therefore, it needs technical solution to reduce this drought disaster risk. To obtain an alternative solution against water availability problem for drought disaster mitigation, this research used optimization of reservoir standard operating simulation. It applies field area of rice or Palawija at the second and/or the third cultivation season as decision variable, maximum productivity value as objective function, irrigation water demand as parameter depending on specified alternative crop pattern and schedule, and several constraints comprising 100% of reservoir reliability, all field is irrigated at the first and second season in which maximum non-irrigated crop field at the third cultivation season are 300 hectares. The tool used to conduct optimization was Microsoft Excel software. The result showed that crop pattern considered as an alternative solution against water availability problem in Cengklik reservoir is paddy-paddy-maize at the early of November II cultivated over 433 hectares and 1524 hectares. Risk reduction reached 9.33% in term of reservoir reliability, 23.61% in term of irrigated area, and 27.29% in term of vulnerability towards water availability crisis.
Deconstructing Equivalence in the Translation of Texts from French to Indonesian
Authors: Sajarwa Sajarwa
Published: July 2017

Translation is a process of reproducing a source text (ST) in the equivalent target text (TT). The equivalence of translation includes the message of the text. Several factors such as writer, translator, publisher, reader, or spirit of certain era, determine the translation equivalency. In translation, equivalence is negotiated and transactioned; in consequence it is highly likely that the current equivalency will be different in the future. Deconstruction theory claims that the relationship between a signifier and a signified is inconstant; however, it can be “deferred” to obtain a new or different relationship. As a result, a meaning may change in accordance with the will of its user. The result of this research indicates four differences between TT1 and TT2 translation; (1) within a period of twenty years of social and political change (1990 – 2010), TT1 reveals regional issues, while TT2 reveals social class issues; (2) the TT2’s disclosure of meaning is more direct, open, and occasionally rude than the subtle and euphemistic TT1; (3) the TT2 tends to follow ideology of foreignization by inserting foreign words or words from the source language, while the TT1 tends to follow ideology of domestication; (4) there are different viewpoints between the TT1 translator and the TT2 translator.
Unravelling of Waste in a Touristic Area of Pangandaran from Neglecting Towards Embracing Informal Waste Management Practices, West Java, Indonesia
Authors: Schippers Bastiaan , Pratiwi Aninda
Published: July 2017

Increased attention for sustainable waste management practices has in Indonesia resulted in legislation that seeks participation and self-regulation amongst people in urban and rural areas. However districts are trying to meet the expectations of the national government, implementing Westernized-recycling systems. We demonstrate that these top-down waste management practices as well as the current approach towardsscavenging systemsas being problematic and undesirable, will not lead to effective waste management. Using a holistic approach we explore the subjectivity of waste and alternating perceptions of these objects in both formal and informal waste management practices.Moreover this article considers the functioning of informal waste management systems to be dynamic and profitable. Within the context of a touristic area that can’t keep up with the increasing amount of solid waste, this article advocates a highly potential informal waste management practices that are systematically overlooked.

Cambios ambientales pleistoceno-holocénicos: ocupación humana y uso de recursos en la Puna de Atacama (norte de Chile)
Authors: Núñez Atencio Lautaro , Grosjean Martin
Published: July 2017

Los datos paleoambientales indican que los recursos de agua, vegetación y fauna de la Puna de Atacama (>4000 m.snm), fueron abundantes durante la última edad glacial y Holoceno Temprano, mientras que las condiciones de aridez prevalecieron bajo los 3500 m. Los cazadores del Período Arcaico Temprano (ca. 10800 a 8500 AP) estaban adaptados a la alta Puna y su piedemonte, a lo largo del desagüe de los ríos provenientes de las tierras altas, en donde los recursos de diferentes alturas se explotaban optimamente en forma trashumante dentro de distancias cortas. Los lagos se restringieron a los niveles actuales y el proceso pedogenésico concluyó en la alta Puna. Los recursos naturales decrecieron significativamente durante el Período Arcaico Medio (ca. 8500-5000 AP), de manera que las actividades humanas se restringieron a sitios más estables en términos de recursos, entre los ríos Loa y Puripica al norte de los 23°. Los hábitats menos estables al sur de esta latitud (salares de Atacama y Punta Negra) fueron abandonados. Las relaciones entre puntuación de recursos, densidad ocupacional y cambios climáticos pueden ser revisados a la luz de los ajustes de los patrones de circulación subtropical, tal como se ha advertido con nuestro conjunto de datos provenientes de la Puna de Atacama.ABSTRACTPaleoenvironmental data from the Puna de Atacama (21°- 24° S) indicate that water, vegetation and animal resources were more abundant during late glacial and Early Holocene times than today. The rate of precipitation increased above 4000 m elevation to 400->500 mm/yr compared to the present 200 mm/yr. Dry conditions prevailed below 3500 m. The early archaic hunters (ca. 10800-8500 BP) inhabited the High Puna and its western slope, where water was available due to higher river runoff from the altiplano, and the resources in different elevation zones were accesible. Natural resources decreased significantly during the Middle Archaic Period (ca. 8500-5000 BP). Lakes receded to today’s levels, the pedogenesis in the Altiplano terminated, and human activities were restricted to the most stable sites in the río Loa and the río Puripica catchments north of 23° S. The less stable habitats south of 23° S (Salar de Atacama and Punta Negra) were abandoned. The climatic changes are best explained by shifts of the subtropical circulation.

This paper deals with fractionation of the essential oil from juniper (Juniperus communis L.) berries by hydrodistillation (HD) and simultaneous hydrodistillation and rectification (SHDR) at atmospheric pressure. A rectification column was filled with the NORMAG packing A type and had 36 theoretical stages. In the present study, higher essential oil yield was obtained by HD (1.34 mass %) than by SHDR (1.17 mass %). However, mass fraction distributions of monoterpene hydrocarbons (MHs), oxygenated monoterpenes (OMs) and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (SHs), observed for the two separation methods, differed from each other. In the SHDR process increased contents of high volatile components (predominantly MHs) were obtained in the initial fractions as well as increased contents of low volatile components (dominantly SHs) in the last fractions. Also, this method increased the separation degree of OMs.

Authors: Janackovic Marija , Gvozdenovic Milica , Grgur Branimir
Published: July 2017

Polypyrrole (PPY) electrode was obtained by electrochemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole on graphite electrode from aqueous electrolyte containing 0.1 mol dm?3 pyrrole monomer and 1.0 mol dm?3 HCl. Polymerization was achieved at the constant current density of 2 mA cm?2 during 1 h. The estimated active mass of PPY (assuming that the maximal doping degree of 0.33 was achieved and the polymerization efficiency of 100%) was 14 mg. Electrochemical characterization of PPY electrode was performed by galvanostatic experiments of charge (doping) and discharge (dedoping) with different current densities in the range between 0.5 and 1.5 mA cm?2. The experiments were performed in aqueous electrolyte containing 2.0 mol dm?3 NH4Cl and 1.1 mol dm?3 ZnCl2. Based on galvanostatic charge/discharge curves, following parameters of PPY electrode were evaluated: discharge capacity, specific discharge capacity, charge capacity, specific charge capacity, and Columbic efficiency. Both charge and discharge capacities were dependent on charge/discharge currents. The values decreased by increasing charge/discharge current, except for the lowest current density where Columbic efficiency exceeded 100%, which was explained by involvement of cations, from the electrolyte, in the doping process. An electrochemical cell in which PPY electrode served as a cathode and zinc electrode as the anode with an aqueous electrolyte containing 2.0 mol dm?3 NH4Cl and 1.1 mol dm?3 ZnCl2, was formed and relevant electrochemical and electrical parameters of the cell were estimated and discussed. Charge of the Zn|PPY cell was dependent on the charge/discharge current. Charge of the cell started between 0.5 and 0.7 V and proceeded up to 1.5 V, while the open circuit voltage of the fully discharged cell was 1.3 V. Specific discharge capacity of Zn|PPY cell, calculated based on discharge times, ranged from 95 to 70 mA h g?1, decreasing linearly with increasing discharge current density. On the other hand, calculated values of the theoretical capacity of the Zn|PPY cell was 105 mA g?1, meaning that practically 90% of the theoretical capacity can be achieved by discharging the cell with low current densities, while 67% of the theoretical capacity was obtained with the highest used current density. Based on Ragon parameters, the estimated values of specific energy that ranged between 46 and 68 W h kg?1, and the specific power between 125 and 380 W kg?1, Zn|PPY cell might be classified as a ?supercapattery?.

Bioactive composite materials were prepared by mixing 20 wt.% of silk fibroin
(SF) and 80 wt.% of glassceramics from CaO-SiO2-P2O5-MgO system. In vitro
bioactivity of the prepared composites was evaluated in 1.5 simulated body
fluid (1.5 SBF) in static conditions. The obtained samples before and after
in vitro tests were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis,
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS). The changes in 1.5 SBF solutions after soaking the
samples were evaluated by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission
spectroscopy (ICP-AES). MG63 osteosarcoma cells were used for the biological
experiments. The obtained experimental data proved that the synthesized
composites exhibit excellent in vitro bioactivity.
ACTION AND COMMUNICATION IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD OF VIDEO GAMES
Authors: PÉTER Árpad
Published: July 2017

The ambition of this paper is to discuss the possible ways of analysing one of the latest media of our times, the video games. By way of preliminary, we attempt to define the new media element that we call video game, followed by an investigation into the possibilities of narrative/discursive and medial analyses applied to video games. We deem our article necessary as video games define our present to a great extent, filling in a considerable amount of time in the life of young and middle-aged individuals alike – still, there are very few domestic analyses on the complex narrative structures, rhetorical practices, and intermedial relationships of computer games. News on the extreme ‘overuse of computer games’ take charge of public discourse, reporting – otherwise rightly – on cases featuring computer game users for whom these media served as sources of inspiration for their engagement in violent acts. But, at the same time, we often tend to overlook the fact that this new medium offers excellent new possibilities for ‘taking possession’ of complex virtual worlds, establishing new types of communication media, and creating first-class narratives.

With over 57k people following the posts and the conversations, the r/Romania subreddit becomes a relevant online venue for anything Romania, from politics and the fight against corruption to funny images and satire. This research is focused on how the people of Roddit interact and behave, in order to identify if this is a by the book online community. A second point of interest is the content aggregated on r/Romania, and by whom, narrowing the conversation to theories of agenda-setting and digital gatekeeping. The constant debate on r/Romania is jumpstarted by the submission of links and from the forum-like discussions, rendering it mandatory to analyze the content. In doing so, we collected all the posts ever submitted to r/Romania, since its creation in the fall of 2009. Furthermore, in order to have a closer look at the conversation angle, we collected 115k comments from the first five months of this year. The data was gathered by interrogating Reddit’s API (Application programming interface). The methodology used combines quantitative large-scale analysis and small sample case studies.

TO DAKWAH ONLINE OR NOT TO DAKWAH ONLINE: DA’I DILEMMA IN INTERNET AGE
Authors: Nurdin Nurdin
Published: July 2017

Tulisan ini berfokus pada adopsi dan pemanfaatan Internet untuk keperluan dakwah. Kehadiran Internet dan berbagai platform pendukung telah memungkinkan dakwah dilakukan secara lebihmenarik dan interaktif. Namun saat ini sangat sedikit da’i yang telah berdakwah secara online. Fakta terbaru menunjukkan bahwa lebih dari 71 juta atau sekitar 28 persen penduduk Indonesia sudah memanfaatkan Internet dalam kehidupan mereka sehari- hari. Karena manyoritas dari penduduk Indonesia adalah muslim, maka sebagian besar dari pengguna Internet itu adalah masyarakat Muslim. Ini berarti lahan yang sangat potensial bagi para da’i untuk berdakwah secara online. Untuk itu tulisan ini membahas mengapa para da’i sudah saatnya perlu berdakwah secara online. Beberapa alasan dikemukakan dalam tulisan ini yang antara lain; tingginya pengguna Internet di kalangan mansyarakat Muslim, luasnya jangkuan dakwah online, menambah jumlah pendengar, dan materi dakwah bisa tersimpan lama di situs situs online. Untuk itu tulisan ini menyarankan para da’i untuk menambah pengetahuan dan ketrampilan terkait tecknologi informasi guna mendukung mereka berdakwah secara online. Tulisan ini adalah berupa kajian pustaka, tapi kajiannya diharapkan memberi ide tentang pentingnya para dai berdakwah secara online. Ke depan dibutuhkan kajian empiris agar argumen terkait pentingnya para dai berdakwah secara online.

To achieve this, continuous and comprehensive da’wah efforts are needed. Preaching is a very noble task because it leads to the goal of reaching the divine blessing,  as performed by the  Masturat group in their da’wah activities in Palu. This da’wah activities focused on the effort to restore women to their nature in the household, whose its goal is to build happy family.
PERAN MEDIA MASSA DALAM INTERNALISASI NILAI-NILAI AGAMA UNTUK MENGEMBANGKAN PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER DAN BUDAYA BANGSA
Authors: Ambarwati Ambarwati
Published: July 2017

This paper is to analyse the content of the newspapers published in Central Java, such as Suara Merdeka, Jateng Pos and Warta Jateng, in their role of giving information and education about religious values in building children’s  character.  This is driven by the fact that a lot of deviances were made by students, such as fight among students and criminal gangs in school. This is one of the indicators that character education is not enough to be taught only at school through curriculum. Therefore, newspapers play a role in that purpose. The research shows the newspapers play a role as information provider, educator, persuasive communicator, cultural transmitter, correlator, and social testator. In the meantime, character education is categorised into: practicing religious teachings, having good ethic and morality, understanding religious norms, doing mutual respect, having tolerance towards others, cooperating in social and national life.

Published: July 2017

Encapsulation is a process of enclosing the substances within an inert material which protects from environment as well as
control drug release. Recently, two type of encapsulation has been performed in several research. Nanoencapsulation is
the coating of various substances within another material at sizes on the nano scale. Microencapsulation is similar to
nanoencapsulation aside from it involving larger particles and having been done for a greater period of time than
nanoencapsulation. Encapsulation is a new technology that has wide applications in pharmaceutical industries,
agrochemical, food industries and cosmetics. In this review, the difference between micro and nano encapsulation has been
explained. This article gives an overview of different methods and reason for encapsulation. The advantages and
disadvantages of micro and nano encapsulation technology were also clearly mentioned in this paper.

Authors: Fisu Amiruddin Akbar
Published: July 2017

One of the potential that can be used to solve the congestion problem that occurred in the city of Makassar is by utilizing channels as urban transport medium. Makassar City has three channels with an overall length of 15.11 km, which two of them can be used as a water transport medium. The channels consist of Jongayya Channel (7.83 km), and Panampu Channel (4.92 km). Channel transportation can be one solution to reduce the congestion problems that occurred in the city of Makassar. The purpose of this study is to determine demand potential of waterwa y-based transport modes on Channel Panampu and Jongaya, factors that affect the willingness to use channel as a transportation medium, to identify user preferences related to channel planning as a transportation medium, and to identify the extent to which the role of the channel to become alternative transportation medium. To achieve these objectives, this study used a descriptive-quantitative methods approach. And were subsequently used crosstab analysis method, multinomial logistic regression and approach with stated preference methods.
Impact of attending training course variable on technical efficiency of oyster mushroom production in Quang Tri province
Authors: Âu Tôn Nữ Hải
Published: July 2017

This study based on cross sectional data of 94 oyster mushroom farms in Quang Tri province to measure their technical efficiencies at farm level and identify the impact of attending training course variable on it by using two stage Bootstrapped Data Envelopment Analysis. The empirical results confirm that attending training course is an important factor impact on technical efficiency of oyster mushroom farm in study area. The farms used to attend a relevant training course were more efficient than farms did not. Moreover, it also shows that gender of the farmer, gender of the farmer, source of irrigation water, duration of oyster mushroom production and number of oyster mushroom crops cultivated on this current farm also had significantly relationship with technical efficiency. Comparing to the best practice farms in this sample, the oyster mushroom farms in study area should use fewer inputs to produce the current level of output to be efficient. Especially, farmers should attend the relevant training course and local authority should organize more training course to improve current level of efficiency of those farms. Moreover, the impacts of gender of the farmer, source of irrigation water, duration of production and number of crops should also be included in the content of those up-coming training courses.

Published: July 2017

Background & Objectives: Acute Hypertension is the most common condition seen in primary care and leads to myocardial infarction, stroke, renal failure, and death if not detected early and treated appropriately.  The study was conducted with the objective to examine the incidence of different types of adverse drug reactions in drug treated hypertensive patients.Materials & Methods: Patients (n=382) who received antihypertensive agents were selected and interviewed using a standardized questionnaire. The Naranjo Algorithm, which categorizes the causality relationship into definite, probable, possible and doubtful, was used for the assessment of the exact nature of Adverse drug reaction (ADR).Results: Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) were the drug class with highest number (22 or  32.84%)  of ADRs followed by Angiotensin-converting enzyme Inhibitors (ACEI) in 17 (25.38%), Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB) in 12 (17.91%), diuretics in 10 (14.92%) and beta adrenergic antagonist in six (8.95%). Cardiovascular system (40 or 59.70%) was the most affected followed by central nervous system (16 or 23.88%) and respiratory and dermatological system each in 11 (16.42%) cases. On Naranjo’s probability scale, nine (13.4%) of the ADRs were definite, 39 (58.2%) possible, 16 (23.9%) probable and three (4.5%) doubtful.      Conclusion: Calcium channel blockers were mostly associated with ADRs while Cardiovascular system was the most frequently affected.

Published: July 2017

Background & Objectives: Maxillary anterior tooth to tooth proportion has a special value in dental esthetics. This study aimed to assess the apparent proportion of maxillary anteriors and possible association with lower anterior facial height and malocclusion type. Materials & Methods: One-hundred and sixty samples with well aligned maxillary dentition were selected and the lower anterior facial height was measured with digital caliper. Molar relationship was examined and intraoral frontal photograph was taken for digital measurement of tooth proportion. The ratio of maxillary canine to lateral and lateral to central incisors were measured and compared between gender and the sides. These ratios were further compared among various malocclusion type using ANOVA and its association with lower anterior facial height was evaluated with Pearson’s correlation.Results: Most of the samples had Class I molar relationship (70%) followed by Class II (23%) and Class III (7%). The mean lower anterior facial height was 62.82mm and ratio of maxillary lateral to central incisor and canine to lateral incisor was 0.68 and 0.76 respectively. No statistically significant difference was found when the ratio was compared between the gender and the sides. These ratios were statistically different from the golden ratio and has no significant correlation with lower anterior facial height. These mean ratios were also found similar across the malocclusion type.Conclusion: Ratio of apparent dimension of maxillary canine to lateral incisor and lateral to central incisor was different from the golden ratio and showed no association with lower anterior facial height and malocclusion type.

Published: July 2017

Background & Objectives: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is an emerging cardiac problem in the young population in Asia and Nepalese population is not an exception to this. Early ACS in young age imparts huge familial and social economic burden. Early identification and proper management strategy is still a challenging problem in developing countries like Nepal where there are limited coronary intervention centers. The study was conducted with objective to study the clinical spectrum, etiologies, coronary angiographic characteristics and their clinical outcomes.Materials & Methods:  This is a cross-sectional study carried out in a tertiary hospital in central Nepal. Forty patients with acute coronary syndrome with age less than 40 years were enrolled in the study.Results: Majority of the patients were males with male: female=1.8:1. Twenty six (65%) patients were having ST segment elevation myocardial infarction followed by non-ST elevation myocardial infarction in nine (22.50%) patients and unstable angina in five (12.50%). patients. The most common risk factors were smoking, systemic hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia. Majority were having single vessel disease. Twenty (50%) patients had undergone primary angioplasty followed by thrombolysis in seven patients and the rest were managed medically because of late presentation. In-hospital major adverse cardiac events and mortality were higher among STEMI than NSTEMI and unstable angina.Conclusion: Acute coronary syndrome in the young is increasing in the Nepalese population. This group of population should be well educated and made aware of the potential coronary risk factors and their modification.
