Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) vaccine has recently been developed as an alternative vaccine against virus infection.This study was the first step of DNA vaccine development to protect cyprinids including common carp (Cyprinuscarpio) and fancy koi (Cyprinus carpio) from KHV (koi herpesvirus) infection in Indonesia. One of KHV glycoproteingenes, i.e. glycoprotein (GP) was ligated with Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) â-actin promoter to generatepAct/GP as a DNA vaccine. Fourty fish in body weight of 10-15 g/fish were individually injected by pAct/GP intomuscle in different dosage of 2.5 μg, 7.5 μg and 12.5 μg/100 μl phosphate buffer saline. Total RNA was extractedfrom the 12.5 μg of pAct/GP-injected fish muscle at 24, 48 and 67 hours post-injection to analyze GP expression byRT-PCR method. Potential of pAct/GP as DNA vaccine was examined by injecting KHV into the 30-days-vaccinatedfish. Both of possitive and negative control fish group were not vaccinated. Possitive control fish group wereinjected with KHV, but negative control fish group were not. KHV-challenged fish were reared for 1 month, and thedeath fish were calculated daily. Result of RT-PCR analysis showed that GP gene expression were detected at 3 dpost-injection. Expression of GP in the vaccinated fish groups helped to improve their survival rate after challengedby KHV. All of fish without DNA vaccination had dead 17 days after KHV injection. The results demonstrated thatpAct/GP had high potency to be used as a DNA vaccine against KHV infection in cyprinids.

Seagrasses in the Air Bangis Archipelago, west coast of Sumatra were found growing in sandy muddy substratesof the shallow coastal waters at depth of 0.3-2.5 m, dominated by degraded coral reefs around the off-shoreislands. Two species; Enhalus acoroides (L.f) Royle and Thalassia hemprichii (Ehrenb) Aschers were observed atPulau Unggas, Pulau Pasir Panjang and Teluk Tapang. Halodule uninervis (Forssk) Aschers was observed in twolocations; Pasir Panjang and Teluk Tapang. The occurrence of this species is unknown previously and therefore itis a new flora record for Sumatra. With this new record, Sumatra has six species of seagrasses, contributing tohalf of total number of seagrasses occurring in Indonesia. According to leaf width measurements, two morphologicalvariants (narrow and wide leaved) can be distinguished for Halodule uninervis. In addition, descriptions of thespecies and their habitat characteristic are provided.

СОЦИАЛЬНО-ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКИЕ КОНФЛИКТЫ В РАМКАХ «КАПИТАЛИЗМА ПЛАТФОРМ»
Authors: Tomin L. V.
Published: December 2019

The article is devoted to the analysis of the structure, the peculiarities of functioning and the socio-economic and political effects of the «platform capitalism». The basis of this model is the network effects produced by the integrated information and communication infrastructure, which contribute to the monopolization and the constant expansion of platform companies into new areas. The principle of functioning of this infrastructure is the continuous collection and further monetization of data extracted from the interactions of individuals among themselves or with one of the elements of a digitalized economy or government structures. Such an infrastructure — forms a potential threat of strengthening state and corporate control over citizens. In addition, the activities of platform companies produce negative effects on the labor market, reinforcing the process of precarization of employment. The integrated information and communication infrastructure of platform companies form a system of a kind of «digital Taylorism», which deprives the employee of autonomy and privacy in the workplace. The influence of digitalization, subjected to the technocratic logic of the neoliberal model of governance in democratic countries, strengthens the de-politicization of relations between the citizen and the state and further changes the balance of power between labor and capital in favor of the latter. Large-scale protests of the last years against the companies of “capitalism of platforms” demonstrated the structural contradictions of this model and formed new forms of organization and actions of grassroots workers of the “digital economy”.

In this article, we analyze the decrease in the conflict of communicative abilities of the state, business and society as a cource of social and economic development of the chemical clusters of the Russian regions in the context of the implementation of the import substitution policy. The policy of “involvement in publicity” as a direction of administrative reform in actively implemented in the activities of executive bodies of state power and municipal government. The organization of communication platforms for the for the formation of public interactions between actors and actors involvedin innovative processes, the creation of public and expert counsils at ministries and departments, indicate an understanding of the need to expand communication channels for obtaining diverse information in order to develop and make optimal decisions. The transformation from a purely vertical communication model to a hybrid (vertical-network) model gives rise to mixed results in the public administration system and the development of regiolaj clusters of the chemical industry. The differences in communication strategies and practices of the political and administrative sector and business, civil society are in a contraditctory unity, which is determined by the formation of policies on the concepts of a “strong state”, a new public management and “service state”, the concept of a social state and the concept of involvement in publicity. An analysis of the emerging communicative model of institutional interactions between government bodies and management with clusters of the chemical industry in Russia shows that systemic changes are laid down by the permeability of the political and administrative management circuit and the professional-civil circuit. The dynamic modelof communicative interactions of chemical clusters and public authorities and administrations proposed by the authors is based on the principles of openness and transparency, accountability, ensuring coordination of interactions.
The disappointing remedy? Damages as a remedy for violations of human rights
Authors: Roach Kent
Published: December 2019

After initial optimism, damages have become a disappointing remedy for human rights violations in Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Part I of this article relates this disappointment to the modest nature of most awards and the continued impact of qualified and absolute immunities. Part II argues that the answer is not, as some have suggested, to return to tort principles but, rather, to look to public law principles, including international law principles of state responsibility. This allows damages to be placed in the perspective of the state’s obligations to comply with human rights and the availability of alternative and sometimes stronger remedies. A public law approach also allows principles of proportionality to discipline and structure the exercise of remedial discretion. Part III situates damages within a two-track approach to remedies in both domestic and supranational law. Under this approach, courts will play the dominant role in providing remedies including damages to recognize past violations but play a more dialogic role with respect to encouraging states to prevent similar violations in the future.
The right-remedy gap in economic and social rights adjudication: Holism versus separability
Authors: Young Katharine G
Published: December 2019

If the right-remedy gap is an inevitable feature of constitutional law, it is all the more so for constitutional economic and social rights. Yet such rights – to have access, for example, to health care, education, social security, housing, food, water, sanitation, or other good or service or opportunity deemed fundamental to human freedom and dignity – are not uniform in the remedial gaps that occur. This article introduces the orientations of holism and separability to demarcate the distinctive challenges of rights adjudication across different policy domains. A holistic understanding of economic and social rights points to the institutional challenges faced by courts in reviewing socio-economic laws and policies in general. A separable analysis of discrete economic and social rights helps to clarify the remedial constraints of each. These effects are demonstrated by the remedies ordered by courts with respect to identified infringements of South Africa’s constitutional rights to housing, health care, social security, and education.
Optimized random sampling for the load level method in Wöhler tests
Authors: Iglisch Barbara , Jetter Stefan , Bertsche Bernd
Published: December 2019

For the optimal planning of Wöhler tests, DIN 50100 offers tables with different methods, such as the load level method, the pearl-string method and staircase method, to identify the required minimum sample size. Based on this norm, the sampling planning by means of the load level method was optimized in this work. Analytical formulas were developed with statistical methods. These formulas enable a fast estimation of the sample size for arbitrary use cases. Another optimization was the implementation of varying standard deviation within the area of fatigue strength in the load level method corresponding to DIN 50100. This optimization decreases the sample size compared to a constant standard deviation. Both optimizations were implemented via a MATLAB® based tool which also contains the methods of DIN 50100.
Preload dependent material properties of lamination stacks for electric machines
Authors: Loos Daniel , Barti Endre , Wagener Rainer , Melz Tobias
Published: December 2019

The design of electric machines is motivated by electromagnetic and mechanical requirements. The magnetic flux is confined and guided by ferrite cores which consist of coated electrical sheets with a thickness of only a few tenths of a millimeter in order to minimize the eddy current losses. This heterogeneous structure causes preload dependent transversal isotropic material properties which affect the fatigue behavior and structural dynamic behavior of the machine. The material constitutive equations are defined by five parameters which must be derived from experimental investigations with respect to compression in the stacking direction. In this paper, a test procedure is introduced to determine the elastic and torsional stiffness as well as the lateral elongation of the stack depending on its preload.

Published: December 2019

Kappaphycus alvarezii is one of the main seaweeds cultivated in Indonesia. Its use as a raw material for the kappa-carrageenan industry has increased its cultivation activities. However, standard cultivation protocol for Kappaphycus alvarezii has yet to be well-documented, particularly on strain selection for kappa-carrageenan production. There are various strains of Kappaphycus alvarezii grown in Indonesia, specifically in Serang, Banten such as green, red, and yellowish green strains. In this study, growth rate, carrageenan yield, and gel strength from different strains of Kappaphycus alvarezii were investigated. It was observed that the specific growth rate of green type (4.14% /day) differed significantly from the other two types (red; 3.41% /day and yellowish green; 3.47% /day). The red type had the highest yield of carrageenan (45.16%) followed by yellowish green (36.66%) and green strain (33.67%). Gel strength was not significantly affected by the strain variations where the observed values for yellowish green, green, and red strain were 344.46, 316.91 and 313.10 g/cm2, respectively. Green Kappaphycus alvarezii had the highest biomass (0.27 g/cm/d) and carrageenan productivity (0.012 g/cm/d). It can be concluded that the green strain of Kappaphycus alvarezii is the most suitable for cultivation in Serang, particularly for the kappa-carrageenan industry.

Need for Pediatric Resident Training in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Preparation for Primary Care
Authors: Hine Jeffrey F. , Dubin Ashley , Swanson Amy , Hine Jeffrey F. , Goode Rachel , Foster Tori , Warren Zachary E.
Published: December 2019

Introduction: The increased prevalence of autism spectrum disorder and documented benefits of early
intensive intervention have created a need for flexible systems for determining eligibility for autism-specific
services, including primary care provider training. Unfortunately, many pediatricians feel uncertain
assessing diagnostic risk and facilitating follow-up care for children with autism.
Methods: We surveyed current residents regarding their confidence around engaging in specific practice
behaviors and providing care for patients presenting with concerns for autism compared to other common
concerns seen in primary care.
Results: Residents were significantly more confident in their skills with respect to caring for patients with
other common concerns than for patients with autism including statistically significant differences in their
perceived ability to diagnose, communicate with families about, treat/manage, and facilitate follow-up care.
Additionally, nearly all residents with career plans for primary care indicated that autism concerns should
fall within their scope of practice and that further training and education about autism is important to their
careers.
Discussion: These findings underscore that although many current residents feel that being able to recognize
and diagnose autism is important, they feel unprepared to do so within current training models and will
likely carry this uncertainty forward into future practice. This study reflects clear targets for advancing
incorporation of enhanced and active autism-specific training into pediatric residency programs.

Published: December 2019

We have carried out the selection of adequate neuroprotective therapy in patients with postoperative cognitive dysfunctions on the basis of calculating the index of total cognitive deficit. The study was carried out in patients of different age groups: young, middle and elderly. The state of cognitive function in patients with acute surgical pathology was determined before surgery and on the 1st, 7th, 30th day after surgery. Total cognitive deficit was calculated. In each age group on the seventh day of the study, there were patients with a restored state of cognitive function at the preoperative level. Some patients had minor changes in cognitive function. In some patients, cognitive impairment was observed in comparison with the preoperative period. The results of cognitive function changes in different periods of the study and in different age groups made it possible to develop treatment regimens. Significant changes were noted in 28 % (mean age 68.9 years) on the 7th day. Treatment is recommended based on the diagnosis of the degree and structure of cognitive dysfunction according to the analysis of the results on the 7th day after the operation. Taking into account the obtained results, we have developed and proposed a formula for calculating the total cognitive deficit. Our findings on cognitive function in surgical patients after surgery under general anesthesia have allowed us to develop a formula for calculating the index of total cognitive deficit. This allowed us to formulate a tactic for further adjustment of the existing cognitive deficit using neuroprotective therapy.

Published: December 2019

Abstrak: Keris sebagai alat untuk perlindungan dari ancaman-ancaman yang bersifat fisik maupun non fisik.  Menurut Islam keris diperbolehkan sebagai alat perlindungan diri, yang tidak diperbolehkan Islam apabila keris disalahgunakan sebagai azimat (jimat). Hukum percaya keris sebagai azimat (jimat) dalam Islam adalah haram dan salah satu perbuatan musyrik (dosa besar). Pendekatan berarti cara pandang, paradigma, metodologi. Pendekatan ilmu kalam adalah cara pandang atau analisis terhadap masalah ketuhanan dengan menggunakan norma-norma agama atau simbol-simbol keagamaan yang ada. Signifikansi kajian ini adalah untuk menunjukkan keris sebagai jimat dengan pendekatan ilmu kalam.Kata Kunci:Keris, Jimat, Pendekatan Ilmu KalamAbstract: Keris is sort of Java traditional weapon for protection from threats that are both physical and non-physical. According to Islam, the keris is allowed only as a means of personal protection, which Islam is not permitted if the keris is misused as a talisman (amulet). Islam’s law believes keris uses as a talisman (amulet) is haram and one of the idolatrous acts (big sin). The approach means perspective, paradigm, and methodology. The Kalam science’s approach is a way of look or analyzing the problem of divinity by using religious norms or existing religious symbols.

Fortification of immune and homeostatic surveillance in cancer-like and cancer conditions the natural way
Authors: Vassiliadis Simon
Published: December 2019

Background: Endometriosis, a non-lethal cancer-like inflammatory condition, and cancer share common features, with the major being the inability of the organism to confront the cause of disease initiation due to an incompetent immune and homeostatic surveillance, respectively.  In addition, and to a degree, both diseases can be detected by identical diagnostic tools and treatment can be successfully achieved by a number of common substances found in nature that can fortify the organism’s defense mechanisms to combat disease. Thus, this commentary focuses on and discusses the remedial action pine bark extracts (Pycnogenol®), almond skins, Agaricus Blazei murrill, oleuropein and oleocanthal may have on a destabilized organism that fails to combat illness by its own. Such a similarity in diagnosis and treatment may become as an alternative approach to create models of investigation for both diseases.Key Words: Surveillance, homeostasis, endometriosis, cancer, natural products
Improvement of glucose metabolism via mung bean protein consumption: A clinical trial of GLUCODIATM isolated mung bean protein in Japan
Authors: Kohno Mitsutaka , Motoyama Takayasu , Shigihara Yuhko , Sakamoto Mai , Sugano Hideo
Published: December 2019

Background: The main component of mung bean protein, accounting for more than 80%, is 8Sα globulin. Its structure closely resembles that of soybean β-conglycinin. Thereby, the mung bean protein is expected to have similar physiological effects to those of β-conglycinin, but there is no clinical evidence for these effects.Purpose of this study: The aim of this study was to confirm the positive effects of mung bean protein (GLUCODIATM) on glucose metabolism in clinical trials.Method: This clinical study was conducted using a double-blind placebo-controlled design with 45 prediabetes patients.Results: Many of the subjects were pre-diabetes with blood glucose levels exceeding 140 mg/dL by 2-hour plasma glucose level. However, the initial mean fasting plasma glucose level was less than 100 mg/dL. Therefore, mung bean protein did not lower fasting plasma glucose levels. The test period extended from summer to autumn, and increased fasting plasma glucose levels in the placebo group were observed due to seasonal factors. However, this increase was suppressed in the test group. Similarly, the mean insulin level increased in the placebo group, but the increase was also suppressed in the test group. Among obese subjects with a high body mass index, significant increases in fasting plasma glucose and insulin levels in the placebo group were observed. In the comparison between the test and the placebo groups with the average elevation value, there was a significant difference in fasting blood glucose level and significant tendencies in insulin level and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance value between the two groups.Conclusion: Mung bean protein suppresses fasting plasma glucose and insulin levels. Consequently, it may have an inhibitory effect on insulin resistance, a trigger of metabolic syndrome.Key words: mung bean protein, insulin, obesity, body mass index, randomized clinical trial, seasonal variation.
Lost in Translation: Allometric scaling of bioactive dietary n-3 and n-6 fatty acids
Authors: Whelan Jay
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACTBackground: Experimental animal models are the primary tool to test nutritional intervention strategies for health promotion and prevention and/or treatment of human diseases. These kinds of experiments test hypotheses that otherwise could not be done in humans. These models generate data important for pre-clinical screening purposes; however, their ability to predict human responses has been disappointing, particularly when it comes to dietary n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Many times, it is difficult to recapitulate the data as a result of diet between pre-clinical experiments and clinical trials, in part, because we lack fundamental understanding as to how to effectively translate diet between species. The diets in experiments using rodent models are preferentially designed to generate positive results (i.e., perform a dose response and pick the dose that works) with little thought on applicability to humans. As such, the levels of n-3 and n-6 PUFA used in rodent diets are typically on the extreme and rarely justified. A search of the literature reveals no guidelines establishing appropriate levels for the use of PUFA in rodent diets, although extrapolation to human conditions is quite common despite being inappropriate. The goal of this paper is to examine allometric scaling models between species for dietary PUFA using similar endpoints with the hypothesis that equivalent physiological changes in rodents and humans support the mathematical model. Keywords:, alpha-linolenic acid, allometric scaling, arachidonic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, linoleic acid, n-6, n-3, plasma fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids
Beneficial effects on fasting insulin and postprandial responses through 7-day intake of New Zealand blackcurrant powder
Authors: Willems Mark Elisabeth Theodorus , Silva Jose Dos Santos , Cook Matthew David , Blacker Sam David
Published: December 2019

Background: Blood glucose and insulin are elevated after intake of carbohydrate, with levels returning to normal in about 2-3 hours after ingestion. We examined the effects of daily New Zealand blackcurrant intake over 7 days on fasting glucose and insulin levels and the responses of glucose and insulin during an oral glucose tolerance test (i.e. OGTT).Methods: Seventeen healthy participants (9 males, 8 females, age: 24±8 years, body mass: 75.4±16.4 kg, height 172±11 cm, body mass index: 25.3±3.3) consumed 6 g·day-1 New Zealand blackcurrant (NZBC) powder for 7 days. Every 6 g of the serving contained 138.6 mg anthocyanins, 49 mg vitamin C, and 5.2 g of carbohydrates with total phenolic content 271.6 mg. A cross-over design was used. Participants completed one OGTT before starting the supplementation (day 0) and another OGTT after 7 days of the supplementation (day 7). For the OGTT, participants were seated and consumed 75 g of glucose dissolved in 250 mL water. Finger prick capillary samples were taken before and every 30 minutes for a total of 120 minutes after consuming the glucose drink. Following duplicate glucose analysis, blood samples were centrifuged and then plasma was separated and frozen (-20°C) for triplicate insulin analysis using a human 96-well insulin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (IBL international, Hamburg, Germany).Results: NZBC had no effect on fasting glucose (control: 4.46±0.45; NZBC: 4.41±0.44 mmol·L1, P=0.657), although there was a trend for fasting insulin to be 14.3% lower (control: 66.5±28.2; NZBC: 57.0±29.5 pmol·L-1) (P=0.091). HOMA-IR was not different between the control and NZBC (1.81±0.73 vs 1.58±0.83) (P=0.126). With NZBC during the OGTT, plasma glucose at 60 min was 8.1% lower (control: 6.68±1.13; NZBC: 6.14±1.41 mmol·L-1; P=0.016), insulin at 30 min was 18.4% lower (control: 337.1±228.3; NZBC: 275.0±136.4 pmol·L-1; P= 0.021), and insulin at 60 min was 39.2% lower (control: 297.8±154.3; NZBC: 181.2±97.4 pmol·L-1; P= 0.002). With NZBC during the OGTTs, areas-under-the-curve for plasma glucose (control: 752.6±79.4, NZBC: 709.8±93.3 mmol·L-1·120 min) and insulin (control: 28443±12816, NZBC: 20406±7985, pmol·L-1·120 min) were 5.7% (P=0.051) and 31.1% lower (P<0.001) respectively. Conclusion: A trend for lower fasting insulin with normal glucose and lower areas under the curve for glucose and insulin suggests that repeated intake of New Zealand blackcurrant powder increases insulin sensitivity. This is the first observation of a high-anthocyanin containing berry powder to increase insulin sensitivity. Regular intake of New Zealand blackcurrant powder may be beneficial for the postprandial responses in people with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome.Keywords: Anthocyanins, Glycaemia, Insulinaemia, Berries, Blood Glucose, Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome
