Authors: Sivakrishna Balija , Islam Sehbanul , Panda Amarendra , Saranya Maddi , Santra Manas K. , Pal Shantanu
Published: December 2018

Background:

Modified nucleosides established a prime role as therapeutic drugs.

Objective:

Design and synthesis of novel truncated carbocyclic nucleoside with modified nucleobases and
evaluation of their anticancer properties.

Methods:

Novel truncated carbocyclic nucleoside analogues were synthesized from a versatile starting material
D-ribose. The synthetic route includes stereoselective Grignard reaction, Wittig olefination, ring closing metathesis,
double bond hydrogenation and Mitsunobu nucleobase condensation as the key steps. Cytotoxicity was
measured using MTT assay in breast cancer cell lines (MCF7 and MDA-MB-231), ovarian cancer cell lines
(IGROV1 and OVCAR8).

Result & Conclusion:

The synthesized compounds were characterized using spectroscopy techniques. The
synthesized compounds induced cytotoxicity in breast cancer cell lines (MCF7 and MDA-MB-231), ovarian
cancer cell lines (IGROV1 and OVCAR8) while minimal effect on primary cell line. Among the eight analogues,
1b and 1d showed the highest cytotoxicity effect and induced autophagy mode of cell death. These compounds
induced autophagy by inactivating AKT and mTOR pathway. In addition, PARP1 was found to be stabilized
upon treatment with compound 1b and 1d and is one of the known markers associated with induction of autophagy
through the AMPK/mTOR pathway after DNA damage. Taken together, these results suggest that compounds
1b and 1d inhibit cancer cell proliferation through mTOR inactivation-mediated induction of autophagy.

Published: December 2018

Introduction:

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease with a high prevalence of about 9 million cases occurring annually. Ziehl Neelsen microscopy is the most widely used technique to detect Acid Fast Bacilli, but it is less sensitive. However, fluorescent microscopy is more helpful with simple diagnostic criteria. Gene Xpert®MTB/RIF assay is a rapid molecular assay that enables diagnosis of Tuberculosis with simultaneous detection of rifampicin resistance. Owing to this fact, we aimed at evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of Ziehl Neelsen microscopy, fluorescent microscopy and Xpert MTB/RIF keeping MTB culture (Mycobacterial Growth Indicator Tube) as a gold standard for the diagnosis of tuberculosis.

Methodology:

This study was carried out at a tertiary care hospital of Rawalpindi in the year 2016. Patients aged 18 to 70 years irrespective of gender with suspected TB based on history, clinical and radiological examination were included in the study. Respiratory clinical specimens including sputum, Broncho-Alveolar Lavage (BAL), and endobronchial washings were collected. Specimens were processed by MGIT (MTB culture), ZN microscopy, fluorescent microscopy and Gene Xpert MTB/RIF assay.

Results:

A total of 352 respiratory specimens were tested among which 160 (45%) samples were positive by culture. Out of culture positive samples, 158 samples (98.7%) were GeneXpert TB positive while 2 were negative. While only 49 (30.6%) were positive on ZN microscopy and 89 (55%) were positive on fluorescent microscopy. Out of the culture negative samples, 2 were positive with ZN microscopy, one was positive with fluorescent microscopy and 3 were positive on Gene Xpert. Sensitivity, specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV), Negative Predictive Value (NPV) and diagnostic accuracy of ZN Smear microscopy was 39%, 99.5%, 96%, 63% and 14.5% respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and diagnostic accuracy of fluorescent smear microscopy was 55% and 99.5%, 98%, 72% and 79% respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and diagnostic accuracy of Gene XPERT was 98% and 99%, 98%, 99% and 98% respectively.

Conclusion:

In countries like Pakistan where Tuberculosis is endemic, the diagnostic accuracy with highest sensitivity and specificity was Gene Xpert Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) MTB/RIF assay which can help in well-timed diagnosis of the disease.
Successional trajectories and rates of change in sub-tropical Quercus forests in west-central Mexico: evidences from a permanent plot network
Authors: Olvera-Vargas Miguel , Figueroa-Rangel Blanca Lorena
Published: December 2018

Forest succession was studied in sub-tropical high-altitude, Quercus-dominated forest in west-central Mexico in order to address the following research questions: (1) How do successional trajectories progress in three contrasting floristic zones? (2) Which is the magnitude of successional rate of change at different time-scales? (3) What are the major environmental drivers contributing to the observed patterns of forest succession? Data was derived from 86 non-managed permanent plots, 500 m2 each, established along a 10 km floristic gradient, ranging from xeric to mesic sites. In portraying successional trajectories over time and to measure the magnitude of rate of change in three floristic zones, Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA) was developed. In order to represent the most significant environmental drivers on patterns of successional trajectories and successional rate of change, we used generalized linear models with gaussian error. Results showed that successional trajectories were not deterministic in each of the floristic zones over the different time-scales analysed; instead we observed four successional trajectories i) plots with an outstanding displacement between time periods, accompanied by an erratic migration over the DCA diagram; ii) plots with a moderate rate of change and uniform movement across the ordination space; iii) a small number of plots with slight change and; iv) few plots with no changes. Soil related variables such as pH, P, N, Mg and Mn, together with slope and catena, were predicted as important contributing factors related to successional processes.
Complejidad y transdisciplina: epistemologías para la sostenibilidad
Authors: Morandín Ahuerma Indra , Contreras Hernández Armando , Ayala Ortiz Dante Ariel , Pérez Maqueo Octavio
Published: December 2018

Este trabajo constituye una revisión teórica de aportes de diversas áreas del conocimiento a lo largo del último siglo hasta la fecha, entre otros: ciencias naturales, ciencias sociales, filosofía, crítica económica y política internacional, para evidenciar coincidencias entre personas que intentan resolver los problemas socio-ambientales que afligen a la humanidad, estrechamente relacionados con la calidad de vida y el bienestar. El documento analiza el debate académico del concepto de sostenibilidad, que se explica como la forma en que cada grupo social construyó un sistema cultural en torno a la relación con la naturaleza; y argumenta a favor de reconocer que la vida humana, la sociedad y, por lo tanto, su economía como un subsistema humano, son completamente dependientes del mantenimiento de ciclos y equilibrios en el planeta Tierra. Los sistemas sociales humanos se ajustan al perfil de un sistema vivo, un sistema autopoiético, un acoplamiento estructural y funcional de unidades autopoiéticas, dinámicas e inestables, que se dirigen a un futuro impredecible. Se ofrecen consideraciones desde la complejidad y la transdisciplinariedad para superar contradicciones aparentes en dogmas fundamentales y epistemológicos. El diálogo de saberes brinda nuevas cualidades y la posibilidad de incluir otras áreas de la cultura, como el arte, la religión, la política, la economía y los negocios. Busca armonizar los criterios de transformación cultural necesarios para enfrentar la crisis mundial que el ser humano enfrenta actualmente. Concluimos que la dinámica del conocimiento humano ofrece oportunidades para superar las limitaciones actuales que enfrentamos al diseñar e implementar una nueva visión del sistema socio-ecológico sostenible a través del espacio y el tiempo, dentro del soporte vital de la Tierra y con la cultura como interfaz entre ecosistemas y seres humanos.

Published: December 2018

Plant growth regulators have a significant impact on increasing both quality and quantity of plant yield for either mixed or separated application. The research was aimed to identify the effect of spraying  plant growth regulators on duku flowers for fruit formation. The research was conducted from December 2014 to May 2015 in Sijacarana Local Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD) of Propagation, South Sumatra Province in Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) Timur Regency. Duku tree used was 15 years old with the height around 10 meter. Complete Randomized Design was used with 3 replications where duku trees as the replicates. The spraying  consisted of 3 single plant growth regulator treatments and 6 mixed treatments which were P1 (BAP 300 mg.L-1), P2 (NAA 300 mg.L-1), P3 (GA3 300 mg.L-1), P4 (BAP 100 mg. L-1 + GA3 200 mg.L-1), P5 (BAP 200 mg.L-1 + GA3 100 mg.L-1), P6 (BAP 150 mg.L-1 + GA3 150 mg.L-1), P7 (NAA 100 mg.L-1 + GA3 200 mg.L-1), P8 (NAA 200 mg.L-1 + GA3 100 mg.L-1), P9 (NAA 150 mg.L-1 + GA3 150 mg.L-1). Spraying was applied twice with a half dosage for each application. First application was performed about one month after flowering, and the second was one and a half month after flowering. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and least significance difference at α 5%. The measurement of parameters were carried after harvest or 3 months after treatment. Results showed that plant growth regulator positively affected duku fruit formation. GA3 treatment then was considered as the best treatment as it had a unison in fruit maturity, the highest number of fruit per bunch, weight per fruit and total fruit weight per bunch, and had the lowest number of green fruit and seed per fruit.

Published: December 2018

The quality attributes of whole hog fresh pork sausages (28% fat) formulated with combinations of rosemary extract (R: 1500, 2000, 2500 ppm), green tea extract (G: 100, 200, 300 ppm), and synthetic antioxidants (approximately 0.02% BHA, BHT, and propyl gallate based on fat %) were evaluated after 0.5, 3, and 6 mo at –20°C followed by simulated retail display (3 ± 1°C) for up to 21 d. R and G delayed lipid oxidation across all frozen storage periods. The TBARS were reduced (P < 0.05) in treatments with higher amounts of R compared with the control (synthetic antioxidants only) after 6 mo of frozen storage. Volatile lipid oxidation products, including 2,4-decadienal were less abundant (P < 0.05) in sausages with higher concentrations of R following 3 mo of frozen storage. Greater concentrations of combined R and G extracts resulted in increased (P < 0.05) redness and yellowness and decreased (P < 0.05) lightness after 6 mo of storage. Higher concentrations of R enhanced (P < 0.05) chroma and slowed (P < 0.05) discoloration throughout 14 d of retail display after 3 and 6 mo of storage. Addition of R and G resulted in greater (P < 0.05) consumer acceptability than the control, which displayed spoilage and detectable rancidity by d 7 following 6 mo of storage in comparison to approximately 14 d for treatments with G and R. Pork, nutmeg, ginger, spice complex, and rosemary aromas were highest (P < 0.05) in sausages with increased concentrations of R following 0.5 and 3 mo of storage. Increasing green tea concentration reduced the intensities of ginger, copper-herbal, rancid, off-flavor and off-odor descriptors (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the addition of R and G enhanced the shelf-life of fresh pork sausages throughout 6 mo of frozen storage and helped maintain their quality during retail display for up to 14 d.

Published: December 2018

El propósito del estudio consiste en calibrar la adopción, a cargo de los municipios portugueses, de las tecnologías 2.0 como parte de su estrategia de comunicación digital. Para ello, y tras un análisis de contenido de los 308 sitios web del país, se creó un Indicador de Web Social (ICW) que, además de ofrecer una visión de conjunto, nos posibilitó identificar qué elementos, ya sean demográficos, económicos, geográficos, tecnológicos o políticos, afectan en mayor medida a esa adopción.Los resultados indican que las redes sociales, especialmente Facebook, son el elemento más difundido, y que los factores clave en la implementación de las herramientas 2.0 se vinculan, de forma significativa, con parámetros del desarrollo tecnológico de la localidad, su presupuesto y población. Estos factores apuntan al litoral y, más concretamente, al Área Metropolitana de Lisboa como el sector más destacado en cuanto al uso de la web colaborativa en sus pautas de e-Gobierno. A nivel ideológico, sin embargo, no existen diferencias entre ayuntamientos gobernadospor partidos de izquierda o derecha en su consideración de las funcionalidades examinadas.

The Domain of Desert Principles for Taxation
Authors: Sheffrin Steven M.
Published: December 2018

Joseph Heath (2018) makes a strong case that the principles of fairness or desert that arise in social interactions have at best a loose connection to economic outcomes in decentralized markets. However, there is evidence that when people are given the opportunity—say, in collective bargaining situations—they will try to alter these market outcomes in favor of their own perceptions of justice, fairness, or desert. Taxation is an important domain in which the public can alter market outcomes. This paper explores to what extent desert can be used as a principle of tax policy. It analyzes tax policies that can be used to implement both individualized and categorical assessments of desert. I argue that there might be some room for tax policy at the broad, categorical level. Finally, using the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 as a case study, I explore whether merit or other bases for desert were embedded in the recent legislation. While there was evidence of attempts to implement ideas based on principles of deservingness in the legislation, they were not of the type necessary to sustain a merit-based society.
Why a Uniform Basic Income Offends Justice
Authors: Maskivker Julia
Published: December 2018

This article explains why the traditional defense of the Basic Income policy is flawed in its assumptions about allocative uniformity. The paper argues that treating everybody identically by way of a uniform grant is ultimately in tension with the  egalitarian rationale behind the Basic Income. Phillipe Van Parijs, the champion defender of the policy proposal, has fervently argued that unconditional receipt of a universal grant will render society more just by way of the egalitarian distribution of  “real freedom” that the policy would elicit. Although Van Parijs is right in supposing that Basic Income will enhance real freedom, his theoretical apparatus is not prepared to address questions of differences in the level of opportunity already enjoyed by the beneficiaries of the policy. This failure poses a problem for normative reasoning, namely, that morally relevant differences among individuals are ignored. This paper concentrates on the implications of this blindness and provides an equality metric that is better equipped to recognize disparity and its moral implications.
Is the Market Wage the Just Wage?
Authors: Boettke Peter J. , Candela Rosolino , Woltz Kaitlyn
Published: December 2018

Do markets generate a “just” wage? The answer to this question will depend upon the particular theory of the market that the political economist employs. When comparing actual labor markets with the neoclassical theory of competitive equilibrium as its normative benchmark, Joseph Heath (2018) argues that factor pricing is orthogonal to normative issues such as distributive justice. We argue that Heath’s conclusion, though not invalid, follows from a similar normative benchmark of equilibrium, one that evaluates factor pricing without taking into account the institutional conditions within which factor prices emerge. Though indeed classical political economists and early neoclassical economists failed to deliver an explicit theory of distributive justice, what Heath overlooks is that implicit to their understanding of the market process was an institutional theory of distributive justice.

Published: December 2018

Characteristics and Toxicity of Nanoemulsion Formulations of Piper retrofractum and Tagetes erecta Extract Mixtures. Nanotechnology has been used in the developing of botanical insecticide formulation for improving its stability and effectiveness. The research was aimed to make nanoemulsion formulations of Piper retrofractum fruits and Tagetes erecta flowers extracts and to evaluate their toxicity against brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens [Stål]) nymphs. The development of nanoemulsion formulaions was carried out by using the low energy method with inversion phase emulsification.  The toxicity of the four formulations was tested against brown planthopper nymphs using a contact method. Four nanoemulsion formulations were obtained.  The study showed that in the developing of the formulations, the type and level of emulsifier materials affected the physical characteristics of formulas, such as stability, surface tension, viscosity, particle size, and particle morphology. The nanoemulsion formulation containing 1% of the mixture of P. retrofractum fruits and T. erecta flowers extracts, 1.75% Triton X-100 emulsifier showed the highest toxic on the brown planthopper nymph, with the LC95 value was 0.15%.  The study indicates that nanoemulsion formulation of P. retrofractum and T. erecta extracts are potential to be developed as botanical insecticide to control brown planthopper of rice.

Influence of Culture Medium on the Sporulation and Viability of Aspergillus spp. and Talaromyces spp. Entomopathogenic Fungi. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of three kinds of cultures media on the spore production and viability of Aspergillus spp. (AS1, 6, 7, 9) and Talaromyces spp. (AS2–5, 8, 10) entomopathogenic fungi. This study was arranged using Factorial-Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 2 factors and 3 replications. The first factor was three kinds of cultures media (potato dextrose agar (PDA), corn meal agar (CMA), and sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA)) and the second one was isolates of Aspergillus spp. Or Talaromyces spp.. Data of spore production and spore viability were tested using ANOVA and if there was significantly difference, the data then further analyzed using Tukey‘s Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test at 5% of significant level. The spore production of Aspergillus spp. were in the range of 0.58 - 14.27 x 108 spores mL-1 (PDA); 0.28 – 2.68 x 108 spores mL-1 (SDA) and 1.85 - 5.33 x 108 spores mL-1 (CMA). The highest spore production was achieved by AS1 isolate that was grown on PDA media. The spore produced by Talaromyces spp. were in the range of 2.15 – 28.62 x108 spores mL-1 (PDA); 0.28 – 29.43 x108 spores mL-1 (SDA); and 1.88 – 16.63 x108 spores mL-1 (CMA). The highest spore production was produced by AS8 isolate which were cultured on PDA. The spore viability among isolates of the two entomopathogenic fungi were not significantly different. The spore viability of Aspergillus spp. was in the range of 95.10 – 97.66% (PDA), 94.02 – 98.45% (SDA) and 92.86 – 98.20% (CMA). The spore viability of Talaromyces spp. was in the range of 95.83 – 100% (PDA), 85.83 – 100% (SDA), and 90.75 – 100% (CMA). Culture medium influenced spore production but not the spore viability. The best culture media used for spore production of both of the entomopathogenic fungi was PDA media.

The Population of White-Bellied Planthoppers and their Natural Enemies: the New Pest of Corn in Lampung. The white-bellied planthoppers (Stenocranus pasificus), hereinafter referred to as WBP, as new exotic pests in Lampung have the poten-tial to reduce corn production and threaten national food sovereignty. Therefore, population of the pest needs to be managed to prevent the outbreaks. However, there is still limited information on the bio-ecology of WBP. Thus, this research was conducted to: 1) study the population growth pattern of WBP on various corn cultivars and 2) document the natural enemies of WBP. This research was carried out from May to December 2017with a survey method on several corn fields in South Lampung and planting trial on an experimental field of Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Lampung planted with 3 corn cultivars, i.e. Madura, P-27 and NK which were arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. The results of the research showed: 1) there were two peaks of population density observed during plant growth. The peak of adult stage of macroptera population density occurred at 17 and 53 days after planting (dap), the highest number of leaves with oviposition mass was observed at 24 and 65 dap, while the peak of population density of nymph stage and adult stage of brachiptera occurred at 31 and 75 dap; 2) Natural enemies of WBP included 9 orders, classified as specialist predators of mirid bugs (Cyrtorhynus) and rove beetles (Paederus), and generalist predators of spiders (Araneae) and lady beetles (Coccinellidae). The population of specialist predators was fluctuated depending on WBP population, while the population of generalist predators was varied.

Un palacio para la Inquisición de Palermo: espacio urbano, conflictividad y relaciones de poder
Authors: Torres Arce Marina
Published: December 2018

El espacio urbano sirvió en el Antiguo Régimen como un “escenario” en el que se expresaban posiciones y tensiones de naturaleza social, económica y política. El análisis de las ocupaciones, desalojos y traslados que experimentó el tribunal de la Inquisición de Sicilia hasta ocupar su emplazamiento definitivo en la ciudad de Palermo, con los agentes y objetivos que los impulsaron y los conflictos y negociaciones que se escenificaron en torno a ellos, se plantea en este trabajo como vía de aproximación a las dinámicas sobre las que se configuró la posición del Tribunal en términos de competencia-cooperación, conflicto-negociación, subordinación y preeminencia, en el espacio político, institucional y jurisdiccional de la ciudad y del reino sicilianos y también de la Monarquía española a lo largo del siglo XVI.
La otra imagen del héroe. El Grand Condé como aliado del rey de España (1651-1659)
Authors: Amigo Vázquez Lourdes
Published: December 2018

Luis II de Borbón, conocido como el Grand Condé, es uno de los principales nobles y jefes de armas de la Historia de Francia. Sin embargo, sus años de alianza con España, que abarcan su intervención en la Fronda y su exilio en Flandes (1651-1659), no han gozado de suficiente atención por parte de los investigadores. Interesa ahora la representación construida en torno a su figura, en el corazón de la Monarquía Hispánica: el reino de Castilla y, particularmente, la corte madrileña, es decir, en el centro del poder. Aquí se analizan la visión que sobre él se tenía en el círculo cortesano, con don Luis de Haro a la cabeza; el importante papel jugado, en su conformación, por los agentes del Príncipe enviados a Madrid; y, por último, su transmisión a la incipiente opinión pública mediante los impresos de relaciones de sucesos. El héroe de Rocroi acabó revestido de una imagen gloriosa, similar a la que todavía le otorga buena parte de la historiografía francesa cuando trata sus años de exilio. Algo nada baladí, pues contribuye a explicar el apoyo que disfrutó de Felipe IV, hasta la firma de la Paz de los Pirineos.
La molienda sin agua en la Tierra de Campos castellana a mediados del siglo XVIII
Authors: García Hernández Ricardo
Published: December 2018

Mucho se ha escrito sobre los molinos, tanto desde el punto de vista de la arquitectura popular y del patrimonio industrial, como desde el ámbito etnográfico, habida cuenta de que los molinos eran un punto de concentración de la población que, de manera indefectible, tenía que pasar por allí para hacer la molienda del grano para obtener harina y pan. Por ello se indaga en este trabajo sobre la presencia de otros artefactos para la molienda específicos de una comarca como la Tierra de Campos carente de recursos hidráulicos, las tahonas o molinos de sangre. Gracias a la documentación generada por el Catastro de Ensenada se puede analizar la presencia de tahonas en dicha comarca a mediados del siglo XVIII, además de mostrar quiénes eran sus propietarios, qué utilidades obtenían de su uso, así como compararlo con los molinos hidráulicos presentes en la comarca.
Los ritos radiofónicos de Radio Nacional de España durante el primer franquismo: 18 de julio, 1 de octubre y 1 de abril
Authors: Gómez García Salvador , Gil Gascón Fátima
Published: December 2018

El objeto de este trabajo es analizar el tratamiento informativo que Radio Nacional de España dio a la figura de Francisco Franco alrededor de tres fechas fundamentales del régimen franquista (Fiesta de Exaltación del Trabajo, la Fiesta del Caudillo y el Día de la Victoria) durante los primeros veinte años del régimen. Para ello, se describe y analiza el contenido localizado en el Archivo de Radio Nacional de España, Archivo General de la Administración y las fuentes hemerográficas de la época. En conjunto se permite avanzar en la construcción radiofónica que la figura de Franco recibió por parte de los instrumentos de persuasión del Estado durante este periodo.
Un abrazo cultural entre la Cuba republicana y la España franquista, 1948–1958
Authors: Figueredo Cabrera Katia
Published: December 2018

Con la creación del Instituto Cultural Cubano-Español (ICCE), filial del Instituto de Cultura Hispánica de Madrid, las relaciones culturales entre Cuba y la España franquista entraron en una nueva fase de acercamiento que, incluso, se mantuvieron activas hasta después del triunfo de la Revolución cubana. Este particular espacio de influencia asociativa, con sede en La Habana, se convirtió muy pronto en el laboratorio cultural de las nuevas transferencias de saberes del franquismo en la siempre fiel y sus primeros pasos estuvieron muy a tono con el interés del gobierno de Madrid por burlar el aislamiento internacional.
A través de los recuerdos. Las diferentes visiones de la Transición desde la memorialística política
Authors: Magaldi Fernández Adrián
Published: December 2018

El interés por el contenido, la naturaleza y usos de las memorias, diarios y autobiografías, lo que genéricamente se ha denominado “literatura del yo”, ha suscitado numerosos ensayos planteando reflexiones fundamentales con el objetivo de comprender correctamente este género: cuestión esencial si pretendemos abordar su análisis desde la investigación histórica. En este artículo se pretende analizar el valor de la literatura del yo como fuente histórica, centrándonos en España y, concretamente, en uno de los períodos sobre los que más memorias han sido publicadas y que, paralelamente, mayor interés ha recibido en los últimos años: la transición a la democracia.
Jamesian Finite Theism and the Problems of Suffering
Authors: Stepanenko Walter Scott
Published: December 2018

William James advocated a form of finite theism, motivated by epistemological and moral concerns with scholastic theism and pantheism. In this article, I elaborate James’s case for finite theism and his strategy for dealing with these concerns, which I dub the problems of suffering. I contend that James is at the very least implicitly aware that the problem of suffering is not so much one generic problem but a family of related problems. I argue that one of James’s great contributions to philosophical theism is his advocacy for the view that adequate theistic philosophizing is not so much about cracking this family of problems, but finding a version of the problem to embrace.
