Authors: Sagüez Francisco Salvador , Gallardo Romina Castro , Pozo Alfonso Prieto
Published: November 2020

Sinopsis

La incidencia de la úlcera de pie diabético (UPD) ha incrementado en la última década, tanto en Chile como en el mundo, como resultado de un aumento progresivo en la prevalencia de la diabetes mellitus. Frente a esta compleja situación, y dado que las UPD están asociadas con un alto riesgo de infección y amputación, es necesario optar por tratamientos cuya evidencia demuestre efectividad en el manejo de este tipo de úlceras. Un apósito con tecnología lípido coloide y factor nano oligosacárido (TLC–NOSF), con un alto nivel de evidencia, ha demostrado ser efectivo en el manejo local de UPD, y podría ayudar a combatir esta problemática. El objetivo de este artículo es revisar la evidencia en relación con la TLC–NOSF y su implementación en la práctica clínica.

Degenerate optical resonator for the enhancement of large laser beams
Authors: Mielec Nicolas , Sapam Ranjita , Poulain Constance , Landragin Arnaud , Bertoldi Andrea , Bouyer Philippe , Canuel Benjamin , Geiger Remi
Published: November 2020

There are several applications for enhancement cavities where a beam of large size (several millimeters) resonates, in particular in atomic physics. However, reaching large beam waists in a compact geometry (less than a meter long) typically brings the resonator close to the degeneracy limit. Here we experimentally study a degenerate optical cavity, 44-cm long and consisting of two flat mirrors placed in the focal planes of a lens, in a regime of intermediate finesse (∼150). We study the impact of the longitudinal misalignement on the optical gain, for different input beam waists up to 5.6 mm, and find data consistent with the prediction of a model based on ABCD propagation of Gaussian beams. We reach an optical gain of 26 for a waist of 1.4 mm, which can have an impact on several applications, in particular atom interferometry. We numerically investigate the optical gain reduction for large beam waists using the angular spectrum method to consider the effects of optical aberrations, which play an important role in such a degenerate cavity. Our calculations quantitatively reproduce the experimental data and will provide a key tool for designing enhancement cavities close to the degeneracy limit. As an illustration, we discuss the application of this resonator geometry to the enhancement of laser beams with top-hat intensity profiles.

Published: November 2020

In this study, photonic crystals with a partial bandgap are demonstrated in the visible region using single-crystal diamonds. Quasi-three-dimensional photonic crystal structures are fabricated in the surface of the single-crystal diamonds using a tetrahedron Faraday cage that enables angled dry etching in three directions simultaneously. The reflection spectra can be controlled by varying the lattice constant of the photonic crystals. In addition, nitrogen-vacancy center single-photon sources are implanted on top of the diamond photonic crystals, and doubled collection efficiency from the light sources is achieved.

Authors: Frank Milan , Smetanin Sergei N. , Jelínek Michal , Vyhlídal David , Shukshin Vladislav E. , Zverev Petr G. , Kubeček Václav
Published: November 2020

For the first time to our knowledge, the operation of a synchronously pumped ultrafast Raman laser that uses a PbMoO4 crystal as the active medium has been demonstrated. We achieved efficient Raman conversion in PbMoO4 from pumping 1063 nm into 1171 and 1217 nm, respectively, at single and combined frequency shifts on stretching and bending Raman modes. The output pulse energy (up to 160 nJ) and peak power (up to 11 kW) of the output picosecond radiation is the highest among all-solid-state synchronously pumped Raman lasers published to date. The strongest pulse shortening at 1217 nm down to 1.4 ps was obtained that is close to the bending mode dephasing time.

Published: November 2020

Background and Aim: Chlamydia psittaci is an intracellular pathogen with a broad range of hosts and endemic in nearly all bird species as well as many mammalian species. Outbreaks contribute to economic losses, especially due to infection of pet birds, poultry, and livestock. Worse, the organism has a zoonotic effect, and transmission to humans results in severe illness. Therefore, proper control measures need to be applied. We conducted a trial for the preparation and evaluation of inactivated vaccine against C. psittaci.

Materials and Methods: Three C. psittaci strains (accession nos.: KP942827, KP942828, and KP942829) were grown in embryonated chicken eggs and then propagated for purification in Vero cells. The immunization experiment was experimentally performed in mice, which then were challenged with a virulent C. psittaci strain.

Results: The immunization trial revealed nearly 100% protection after the challenge. The histopathological and immunofluorescence examinations of internal organs revealed that the prepared killed vaccines can effectively reduce chlamydial infection and shedding in animals with the proper level of protection.

Conclusion: Our vaccine can be used to control economic and financial losses resulting from avian chlamydiosis, especially those in poultry industries. The zoonotic transmission risk highlights the need for proper control measures.

Published: November 2020

INTRODUCTION:

Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease is common, with fibrosis the major determinant of adverse outcomes. Population-based screening tools with high diagnostic accuracy for the staging of fibrosis are lacking.

METHODS:

Three independent cohorts, 2 with both liver biopsy and liver stiffness measurements (LSMs, n = 254 and 65) and a population sample (n = 713), were studied. The performance of a recently developed noninvasive algorithm (ADAPT [age, diabetes, PRO-C3 and platelets panel]) as well as aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index, fibrosis-4, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score, and LSM was used to stage patients for significant (≥F2) and advanced (≥F3) fibrosis.

RESULTS:

In the hospital-based cohorts, the N-terminal propeptide of type 3 collagen (Pro-C3) increased with fibrosis stage (P < 0.0001) and independently associated with advanced fibrosis (odds ratio = 1.091, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.053–1.113, P = 0.0001). ADAPT showed areas under the receiver operating characteristics curve of 0.831 (95% CI: 0.779–0.875) in the derivation and 0.879 (95% CI: 0.774–0.946) in the validation cohort for advanced fibrosis. This was superior to the existing fibrosis scores, aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index, fibrosis‐4, BARD (BMI, aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase ratio [AAR], diabetes), and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score in most comparisons and comparable with LSM. Serial use of ADAPT and LSM had diagnostic accuracy of 92.5%, with 98% and 100% negative predictive value in the derivation and validation cohorts, respectively. In the population cohort, PRO-C3 associated with advanced fibrosis (P = 0.04), while ADAPT had a negative predictive value of 98% for excluding advanced fibrosis.

DISCUSSION:

PRO-C3 and ADAPT reliably exclude advanced fibrosis in low-risk populations. The serial combination of ADAPT with LSM has high diagnostic accuracy with a low requirement for liver biopsy. The proposed algorithm would help stratify those who need biopsies and narrow down those patients who would need to be referred to specialty clinics.
Resistance from the Right: Sor María de Ágreda and the Intersections of Early Modern Feminism
Authors: Shuger Dale
Published: November 2020

This article re-thinks the mechanisms through which a “proto-feminist” stance could be enunciated in early modern Spain, focusing on Sor María de Ágreda as a paradigmatic example. I show how Sor María’s deeply held pro-imperial, racist, essentialist ideas across her writings allowed her to achieve the royal and Church support that ended up protecting the proto-feminist La mística ciudad de Dios, and how those alignments changed after her death. I suggest that scholars of the early modern period can best serve feminism in the present through a frank study of the ways in which women appealed to power in the past.
Reconstrucción del sujeto femenino mediante la desmitificación del narcotraficante enPerra bravade Orfa Alarcón
Authors: Carpio-Manickam María
Published: November 2020

Este artículo analiza la novela Perra brava (2010) de la mexicana Orfa Alarcón para demostrar cómo el personaje femenino deconstruye y desmitifica el arquetipo del narcotraficante idealizado en la novela narco. Asimismo, busca demostrar cómo la autora crea un personaje femenino alejado de las convenciones de la narrativa criminal mexicana, que subvierte la relación dominador/dominada, ofreciendo así perspectivas alternativas de la imagen de la mujer en la narconovela, un subgénero literario que aún es dominado por los autores con una escasa contribución de las escritoras.

En estas obras observo el compromiso sociopolítico de la producción dramatúrgica posdictatorial que denuncia el tema de la violencia sistematizada contra la mujer.
Specular Comedies of Manslaughter by Inés París and Marta Díaz de Lope Díaz
Authors: Hogan Erin K.
Published: November 2020

La noche que mi madre mató a mi padre (París 2016) and Mi querida cofradía (Díaz 2018) offer comedic retorts to cultural and industrial expectations for women protagonists. The career aspirations of their female leads defy the concept of the traditional angel of the home without resorting to manslaughter, a common recourse of Pedro Almodóvar’s leading ladies. The films of Inés París and Marta Díaz demonstrate intimate revolt (Kristeva 2002), encompassing carnivalesque overturning (Bakhtin 1984), the spectacular visualization of specular fantasy, and laughter as resistance for their feminist project of revealing the patriarchal attitudes that obstruct women’s professional fulfillment.
O encarceramento de mulheres transexuais e de travestis
Authors: Ferreira Pedro
Published: November 2020

No Brasil, não há lei que estabeleça um padrão de acolhimento de transgêneros no cárcere. Diante do descaso do Legislativo, os transgêneros, mesmo com todas as suas especificidades, são contemplados apenas genericamente com os direitos previstos na Lei de Execução Penal. Nesse sentido, a presente pesquisa analisa a vivência das mulheres transexuais e das travestis nas unidades prisionais brasileiras. O olhar para tal cenário repleto de violência, feito de forma indireta a partir de documento técnico realizado sobre o tema, se dará com o intuito de verificar se os referidos direitos são efetivos para esses grupos. Para isso, examina-se criticamente os limites da teoria da norma jurídica, enfatizando de forma específica a noção de efetividade. Assim, observando de que forma se dá o acolhimento dessas pessoas no cárcere, poderemos analisar se os direitos previstos na Lei de Execução Penal são efetivos de verdade, ou se possuem apenas validade técnico-jurídica.

GREEN ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION OF MBA STUDENTS: A MALAYSIAN STUDY
Authors: Wei- Loon Chee , Nordin Norfarah
Published: November 2020

Green Entrepreneurship is an emerging phenomenon in business and academic field because it is an essential component in developing a green economy. Due to a lack of empirical study on green entrepreneurship, our current understanding of the factors that contributes to nurturing green entrepreneurial intention is limited.  By employing Theory of Planned Behaviour, this study aims to explore the relationship between predictors of green entrepreneurial intention such as attitude, perceived behavioural control, subjective norms and educational support to green entrepreneurial intention (GEI). The study samples 175 individual MBA students in Malaysia. The study employs Partial Least Squares – SEM to predict GEI and evaluate the contribution of each predictor in the relationships. The model explains 76.1% the variance of Green Entrepreneurial Intention with strong predictive relevance (R2=0.761, Q2=0.537). From the structural model, the beta coefficient for Perceived Attitude is 0.392, Perceived Behavioural Control is 0.399, and Perceived Educational Support is 0.169. The results imply that perceived attitude and perceived behavioural control are the key intrinsic determinants whereas education plays an instrumental role as an extrinsic determinant to individual interest to become a green entrepreneur. The main theoretical implication of this study is confirming the applicability of the Theory of Planned Behaviour in explaining GEI with additional variable, Perceived Educational Support. Practically, this research provides education practitioner and policymakers with useful insight on cultivating GEI among MBA students, and directional indication on grooming future green entrepreneurs.
DETERMINANTS OF CONSUMER PURCHASE INTENTION OF HALAL MEAT IN KANO-NIGERIA: A CONCEPTUAL PAPER
Authors: Yahya Sulaiman , Kamalul Ariffin Shaizatulaqma
Published: November 2020

The trend in the consumption of halal food products is experiencing a daily increase, as a result of the fact that the demand of halal food products is becoming higher and higher from consumers worldwide due to its safety, hygiene and quality. Even though the issue of the demand of halal food products has been widely highlighted in some existing halal literature, the determining factors influencing consumer purchase intention of halal meat product in Kano-Nigeria is yet to be discussed well in the current literature. This concept paper will discuss factors such as attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, product knowledge, product trust, celebrity endorsement, religiosity, and personal norm as an extension of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) in the current complex food trade scenario. Cross-sectional quantitative survey approach will be used as the method of this study, using a self-administered questionnaire to collect the data. 500 questionnaires will be distributed within the total population frame of 9 million people living in Kano. The research findings can provide valuable insights for halal meat retailers on influencing factors that affect consumer's intention to consume and purchase from them. The findings of this study will enrich existing literature on halal meat product as well as broaden and deepen the theory of planned behaviour. It may also contribute towards necessary policy changes surrounding the halal meat market in Kano-Nigeria. Empirical studies by future researchers can be employed to test the relationship between the factors and also uncover other factors that can help in enhancing the purchase intention of halal meat product.

Published: November 2020

Based on the agency theory perspective and its corporate governance problem, the current study investigated how control mechanisms affect firm financial performance with a special concentrate on the role of the audit committee on the enhancement of firm financial performance. The empirical findings of this study based on the listed firms in the Sultanate of Oman revealed that the control mechanisms, including committee size and board independence, positively enhance financial performance represented by ROE and therefore this leads to encouraging firms to focus on such mechanisms. By contrast, audit size, board size and board independence are totally not motivated to engage with financial performance due to the insignificant link with ROA. On the other hand, a negative correlation has been found between a board meeting and financial performance represented by ROE. The practical evidence of the implications  by the current study found that for improvement of firm financial performance; that even though if most of the GCC governments recently have focused on corporate social responsibility because largely voluntary nature of corporate social responsibility, they should focus of the control mechanisms that suggested by the current study to play a significant role for enhancing firm financial performance

Published: November 2020

Background: For years, septal myectomy has been considered the best available treatment for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In Bangladesh, however, this technique is only nascent. We present a case series of septal myectomy with outcomes after 1 to 6 years at the National Heart Foundation Hospital & Research Institute.
Methods: For this study, 21 patients who underwent septal myectomy from 2014 to 2019 were monitored retrospectively. Evidence was collected from the hospital database and followed up via telephone conversations using a structured questionnaire. Patients’ preoperative, postoperative, and follow-up clinical data were collected and analyzed.
Results: The results reveal that after septal myectomy, there were significant improvements in terms of left ventricular outflow gradient (P ≤ .01), septal thickness (P ≤ .01), left ventricular ejection fraction (P = .001), pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (P ≤ .01), mitral regurgitation (P ≤ .01), systolic anterior motion (P ≤ .01), and New York Heart Association class (P ≤ .01).
Conclusion: This study suggests that septal myectomy be offered to symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy patients, as its survival benefits and symptoms relief are excellent. This study suggests that septal myectomy that dynamic obstruction at the left ventricular outflow tract is the major hemodynamic problem. We hope that with appropriate measures, new myectomy programs in our country can provide extended longevity and restore the quality of life.

The Influence of the Type of Pulse on the Possibility of Logging Radiosounding
Authors: Volkomirskaya L.B. , Gulevich O.A. , Reznikov A.E.
Published: November 2020

––The successive application of the georadar method to a surface study of media pushes for the creation of a logging georadar. The tool operation conditions in a deep-seated medium with high absorption of electromagnetic waves (in a borehole) require optimization of the georadar technology for logging. Two possible approaches to GPR logging are discussed by the example of various georadars. We analyze the experimental data obtained with differently constructed MALA (Sweden) and GROT 12 (Russia) georadars under the same conditions during an international expedition. Conclusions are drawn that video pulses can be used for GPR logging.
Conditions of Early Paleozoic Basaltic and Picritic Magmatism in West Siberia
Authors: Simonov V.A. , Kontorovich V.A. , Kotlyarov A.V. , Saraev S.V. , Filippov Yu.F. , Stupakov S.I.
Published: November 2020

––Geological, petrological, isotope-geochemical (40Ar/39Ar analysis, petrochemical data, and geochemistry of trace elements and REE), and mineralogical researches testify that the formation of the early Paleozoic basalt and picrite complexes of the West Siberian Plate basement was related to the development of the Cambrian subduction zone of the Paleo-Asian Ocean. Using the compositions of clinopyroxenes and amphiboles (and also programs of computational modeling), we have established the Р–Т conditions of formation of early Paleozoic picrite complexes. Crystallization of clinopyroxenes began at significant depths (25–20 km) and at high temperatures (1300–1275 °C). Olivine might have formed at elevated pressures (8–7 kbar) and temperatures of 1540–1490 °C. Amphiboles formed, most likely, at 6.1–4.5 kbar and much lower temperatures, 1105–1060 °C. Petrochemical analysis and data on trace elements and REE in the rocks of the studied early Paleozoic complexes in West Siberia testify to their intricate formation involving magmatic systems with basalt (island arc and back-arc basins), picrite, and shoshonite (and also WPB type) melt characteristics. Taking into account the similar geochemical characteristics of the early Paleozoic basaltoids and picrites of the West Siberian Plate basement and the Kamchatka volcanics, we suggest that a considerable part of the studied ancient complexes formed by the model implying (as in the case of the Sredinnyi Ridge in Kamchatka) the action of enriched magmatic systems during the development of a destructive window (“slab-window”) under rupture of subducted plate on the background of common island arc magmatism.
Influence of “Geologic Noise” on Magnetotelluric–Sounding Data and Methods for Taking It into Account
Authors: Pospeev A.V. , Sen’ E.A.
Published: November 2020

––The paper deals with the problem of interpreting magnetotelluric data in the differentiated low-conductivity upper part of the section. An observation network often makes it impossible to describe a spatial irregularity spectrum completely, so, using 3D data inversion comes across a significant spatial equivalence of the solution. The effect of irregular conductivity of the upper part of the section at one of the sites is considered by the comprehensively studied near-field transient electromagnetic sounding in dense 3D networks. A technique is proposed for choosing the directions of the minimum gradient of anomaly-causing conductivity and for selecting corresponding quasi-longitudinal curves for estimating the deeper parameters of the model. The advantage of using quasi-longitudinal curves is shown, and the high geological efficiency of the developed technique for interpreting magnetotelluric data is demonstrated at one of the sites of the Siberian Platform.
Geodynamic Characteristics of Neotectonic Structures in the Olenek and Vilyui Areas of the Yakutian Kimberlite Province
Authors: Imaeva L.P. , Imaev V.S. , Koz’min B.M.
Published: November 2020

––The first comprehensive seismotectonic study was performed in the Olenek and Vilyui areas of the Yakutian kimberlite province, which was aimed at elucidating the geodynamic activity of neotectonic structures of the Siberian craton and assessing the environmental hazard of groups of kimberlite fields. Based on the degree of activity and trend of geodynamic processes, we have developed regional principles for the classification of neotectonic structures of the Siberian craton and its fold-thrust framing with the rationale for their differentiation into classes. The active segments of the Verkhoyansk and Baikal–Patom fold–thrust belts are analyzed, which have a dynamic effect on the mode of tectonic deformations of the adjacent sections of the Siberian Platform, where groups of kimberlite fields are localized. The revealed patterns of seismotectonic destruction processes made it possible to establish the intensity and types of the Earth’s crust stresses and strains in the reactivation zones of the marginal sutures of the Siberian craton. Applying mathematical statistics methods permitted a quantitative analysis of the geodynamic parameters of the geologic environment in the Olenek and Vilyui areas of the Yakutian kimberlite province, based on the significant factors responsible for activation of the recent structures as manifestations of a single stress accumulation/discharge process in the Earth’s crust. Using the set of seismotectonic data, we have differentiated the activation zones according to the stress–strain intensity in the Earth’s crust and have assessed the potential environmental hazard of groups of kimberlite fields in the Yakutian diamondiferous province.

––The first results on the composition of fluids from native gold and associated pyrite and quartz have been obtained. Despite the small amount of analytical data, these results are of scientific and practical interest. The identified geochemical criteria can be used for the assessment of gold ore shoots and the substantiation of prospecting in the region. The one-act shock-destructive extraction of volatiles from fluid inclusions and their pyrolysis-free gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis made it possible to determine the composition of fluids in native gold and in associated pyrite and quartz. Based on these data, we have first shown that fluids in native gold, pyrite, and quartz are a mineral-forming multicomponent system. In addition to water and carbon dioxide, the studied fluid inclusions contain representatives of at least 11 homologous series of organic compounds, including oxygen-free aliphatic and cyclic hydrocarbons (paraffins, olefins, cyclic alkanes and alkenes, arenes, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), oxygenated hydrocarbons (alcohols, esters, furans, aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids), and nitrogened, sulfonated, halogenated, and siliconorganic compounds. The portion of hydrocarbons together with S–N–Cl–F–Si compounds reaches 52.0 rel.% in fluid inclusions from native gold, 10.1 rel.% in fluid inclusions from pyrite, and 18.0 rel.% in fluid inclusions from quartz. Gold-transporting gas fluids have reducing properties. Pyrite and quartz contain oxidized water–carbon dioxide fluids with low contents of hydrocarbons and nitrogen–halogenated compounds.
Lexical Cohesion in Kid Talks: The Instagram Videos of Mila Stauffer
Authors: Amalia Dinda , Hidayat Didin Nuruddin
Published: November 2020

This study aims to examine the use of lexical elements in kid talks. Mila Stauffer is a four-year-old celebrity who has four million followers on her Instagram account. Mila is known as a child who frequently shares her thoughts about particular topics, expressively, and comprehensively. The researchers are interested in Mila Stauffer because her Instagram videos have many viewers and comments. Numerous Instagram users also like her because she is different from the children that have the same age as her. In order to analyze Mila’s opinion about some topics through videos, lexical cohesion played an important role in the present study. To obtain an in-depth study of lexical cohesion, this study then analyzed ten Instagram videos with the available subtitle. The data of the study were collected through the Instagram account, Kcstauffer. The researchers applied a quantitative method in analyzing the lexical cohesion. Furthermore, the lexical cohesion analysis proposed by Halliday & Hasan has been used in the present study. The study revealed that, as analysed from Mila’s talk, there are differences between kids and adults in terms of the use of repetition. Further, repetition plays an important role in kids talk; one of which is to achieve cohesiveness in speaking. On the other hand, the least lexical cohesive devices used in a kid talk is superordinate.

Authors: Prasetyani Nuning Yudhi
Published: November 2020

Rhetorical construction may have a number of functions in a text. It attempts to prompt a reaction to the message of a statement by expressing it in words that have particular connotations. The study aims at the application of rhetorical constructions reflecting the author’s ideology, Dale Carnegie, in ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’ and how the translator rendered them through the selection of translation techniques into Indonesian version using Van Dijk’s CDA model to determine the quality of translation. By applying a content analysis, the study finds that in general the author uses rhetorical constructions such as repetitions, metaphors, rhetorical questions, and hyperboles to represent his ideology in this book. The author explores a lot on the persuasive and motivational ideology. The findings also show evidence that the translator implements several different translation techniques, such as established equivalent, variation, transposition, amplification, and modulation in order to attain a high quality of translation and to preserve the author’s ideology. Meanwhile, the use of translation techniques such as literal, reduction, generalization, modulation (optional), and discursive creation result in a lower quality of translation and also create a shift (in form and meaning) in the translated version. Thus, these techniques used show the translator’s ability to comprehend what is behind the text, and the translator must also take into consideration any shift in meaning of the ideological construction in the translation process so as to avoid a low quality of translation. This implies that translator should consider the ideology behind the author’s intention to deliver his or her message and chooses the appropriate techniques of translation to maintain the original message in the translated version

Politicians use their political interviews to convey their thoughts towards their nations or others. This study aims to analyze conversation analysis and implicature of maxims being flouted by Adel Al-Jubeir regarding the Yemeni campaign, which started on 26th of March 2014. The study uses descriptive qualitative method. The data were institutional talk (Interview) conducted by Adel Al-Jubeir as IE (interviewee) and the journalist Wolf Blitzer as IR (interviewer) in the CNN channel in Washington. The data were analyzed according to Clayman and Heritage (2002) for conversation analysis and implicature of maxim based on Grice (1975). The results show two linguistic evidences. First, in institutional talks, conversation consists of three components, namely, opening, content, and closing. The opening includes the introduction, the content includes the announcement of the beginning of the campaign interface on Yemen and the Iranian nuclear program and its threat to Saudi Arabia, and the closing includes complete pairs (greetings). Second, for implicature analysis, the results show that Al-Jubeir being over-informative, stating more than required, represented with 82% of the quantity. He made a speech that he believed to be false, unjustified, and untruthful replies, representing 100% in the scale of quality. He gave irrelevant meaning to respond other participants’ utterances, representing 65% of maxim of relation. He gave unclear and indirect replies, representing 77% of maxim of manner. Besides, Al-Jubeir cooperated with IR. In addition, it can be summarized that he applied both particularized conversational and general implicature on political interview with some violation of the maxims as well.

Background: The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing over the past years. Early identification and management of its complications, especially diabetic kidney disease (DKD), is of great importance. Multiple factors play a role in the pathogenesis of T2DM and DKD. We aimed to study Fetuin-A gene polymorphisms and Fetuin-A serum levels in T2DM patients with early DKD.

Methods: The present work was conducted on 120 patients with T2DM (60 patients with microalbuminuria and 60 without albuminuria), and 30 healthy subjects (as a control group). Serum Fetuin-A levels were measured with ELISA. Fetuin-A, Thr256Ser and Thr248Met polymorphisms were determined by PCR-RFLP.

Results: Patients with T2DM had a significantly higher mean serum Fetuin-A compared to controls (p < 0.001), while no difference was observed when comparing mean serum Fetuin-A in patients with microalbuminuria and patients without albuminuria (p = 0.916). Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and insulin resistance had positive correlations with serum Fetuin-A (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). Ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) had a negative correlation with serum Fetuin-A (p=0.046), while Fetuin-A levels neither affected eGFR nor albuminuria. The distribution of the alleles of both polymorphisms showed increased frequency of TT (rs248) and GG (rs256) in patients without albuminuria compared to patients with microalbuminuria.

Conclusion: Increased serum Fetuin-A is associated with insulin resistance and increased risk of atherosclerosis in patients with T2DM, but is not associated with the development of DKD. TT (rs248) and GG (rs256) polymorphisms may be associated with lower risk of DKD.

Compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD) is currently defined in the eleventh revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) as an impulse control disorder. Criteria for hypersexual disorder (HD) had been proposed in 2010 for the fifth revision of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5). In this article, we compare differences between HD and CSBD and discuss their relevance.

Significant differences between HD and CSBD criteria include: (1) the role of sexual behavior as a maladaptive coping and emotion regulation strategy listed in criteria for HD but not in those for CSBD; (2) different exclusionary criteria including bipolar and substance use disorders in HD but not in CSBD, and (3) inclusion of new considerations in CSBD, such as moral incongruence (as an exclusion criterion), and diminished pleasure from sexual activity. Each of these aspects has clinical and research-related implications. The inclusion of CSBD in the ICD-11 will have a significant impact on clinical practice and research. Researchers should continue to investigate core and related features of CSBD, inlcuding those not included in the current criteria, in order to provide additional insight into the disorder and to help promote clinical advances.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menerangkan tentang pengertian dan keunggulan tanaman azolla pada masyarakat dan mengetahui penggunaan tanaman azolla yang difermentasi terhadap pertumbuhan ikan nila.Proses fermentasi tanaman azolla dan beberapa campuran bahan lain seperti pupuk organik, jerami padi, dedak dan EM4. dan penelitian ini dilakukan selama 56 hari. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan metode eksperimen dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 4 perlakuan yaitu tanaman azolla yang difermentasi (P1) 0 % tanpa campuran bahan lain (kontrol), (P2) tanaman azolla yang difermentasi 45 %, (P2) tanaman azolla yang difermentasi 35 %, dan (P3) tanaman azolla yang difermentasi 20 %. Setiap perlakuan diulang sebanyak 3 kali. Paramater yang diamati adalah pertumbuhan mutlak benih ikan nila. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa antar perlakuan diperoleh rata-rata pertumbuhan mutlak ikan nila dengan signifikasi (P<0,05). Media fermentasi P0 meningkatkan pertumbuhan mutlak ikan nila 32,598 gram, P1 meningkatkan pertumbuhan mutlak ikan nila 32,386 gram, P2 meningkatkan pertumbuhan mutlak ikan nila 33,880, dan P3 pertumbuhan mutlak ikan nila 32,650 gram. Artinya bahwa tanaman azolla yang difermentasi dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan benih ikan nila sebesar 35 %. Kemudian dengan Uji Analisis Variansi (ANOVA) menghasilkan Fhitung 1,00 lebih kecil dari Ftabel 4,07 pada taraf 5 %, maka H1 di tolak. Jadi penggunaan tanaman azolla yang difermentasi tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap pertumbuhan ikan nila di Desa Rikit Bur Kecamatan Bukit Tusam. Artinya bahwa penggunaan tanaman azolla yang difermentasi belum dapat memenuhi kebutuhan harian ikan nila dalam jangka waktu 56 hari.
