“HAMBA TUHAN DI TENGAH PLURALITAS AGAMA DAN BUDAYA”
Authors: Sudarmanto Gunaryo
Published: April 2020

Eksistensi hidup dan pelanyanan hamba Tuhan masa kini menghadapi tantangan pluralitas, yaitu fakta adanya perbedaan suku, bangsa, warna kulit dan bahasa. Keragaman itu menjadi kekayaan sekaligus potensi konflik dalam komunitas. Secara internal, telah cukup lama gereja-gereja mengisolasi diri dalam komunitas-komunitas eksklusif dari suku, bangsa, bahasa dan daerahnya masing-masing. Namun dengan semakin mengglobalnya masyarakat dunia, maka tidak dapat dihindari terjadinya percampuran suku dan bangsa dalam gereja. Sebagai contoh, di GKJ Rawamangun tidak hanya orang Jawa yang menjadi jemaat, melainkan juga orang Batak, Timor, Minahasa, dll. Di GKP Majalengka ada pendeta berdarah Minahasa di tengah jemaat yang mayoritas dari suku Batak. Amanat Agung Tuhan Yesus sudah menegaskan bahwa semua orang Kristen bertanggung jawab untuk menjadikan semua suku (bangsa) murid-Nya (Mat 28:19-20). Dalam konteks pluralitas ini, hamba Tuhan dituntut memiliki kemampuan mengidentifikasi aspek-aspek perbedaan yang ada sebagaimana dikemukakan oleh Hesselgrave,“Effectiveness in Christian cross-cultural counseling and helping, as in all cross-cultural counseling, depend upon the ability to correctly identify and interpret universal, group-specific, and idiosyncratic factor which both counselor and counselees bring to the counseling situation”. Keragaman harus dikelola dengan baik agar tercipta kehidupan harmonis dan kondusif bagi pertumbuhan iman yang sehat.

Development of the Optimization Models and Solution Algorithms for the Vessel Schedule Recovery Problem in Liner Shipping
Authors: Abioye Olumide
Published: April 2020

Over 80% of the global trade tonnage and 70% of global trade value are carried by oceangoing vessels around the world. However, vessel routing and scheduling is a challenging exercise in liner shipping because of uncertainties that may affect the planned operations. Delays caused by uncertainties, such as weather, natural hazards, labor strikes, and others, increase the complexity of liner shipping, related to schedule adherence and reliability of service. In the event of a delay, liner shipping companies take decisions to recover the schedule, aiming to deliver cargoes in a timely manner. Vessel operators may decide to increase the sailing speed of the ship, which will further increase bunker fuel consumption and the total operational cost of liner shipping operations. The vessel schedule recovery problem becomes even more difficult if the delay is large. The contributions of this dissertation to the state-of-the-art are as follows: 1) a set of operational-level vessel schedule recovery models in liner shipping; 2) the vessel schedule recovery models for the liner shipping routes that pass through Emission Control Areas; 3) consideration of multiple vessel schedule recovery alternatives (e.g., port skipping with and without cargo diversion, speed adjustment, handling rate adjustment); 4) application of the appropriate solution approaches for solving the vessel schedule recovery problem; 5) identification of the key factors that may influence vessel schedule recovery; and 6) presentation of the managerial insights and benefits of the developed vessel schedule recovery optimization models.
Genetic condition of human papillomavirus high carcinogenic risk
Authors: Zhumasheva K.A. , Pogossyan G.P. , Zhumashev B.K. , Danilenko M.
Published: April 2020

The authors consider the basic concepts of HPV-induced carcinogenesis and the molecular differences found among types of HPV and intra-type variants, and give their clinical and functional consequences. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a diverse group of small DNA viruses, some of which have been extensively studied over the past three decades due to their carcinogenic potential. The persistence of viral infections and the uncontrolled expression of the E6 and E7 viral oncogenes are critical events in the transformation process. It is important to note that viral types are specific for each type of cell and usually cause various types of lesions, benign or malignant. Recognizing the critical role that certain specific types of HPV play in the development of cervical cancer is very important for their prevention and public health strategies for cervical cancer, which are still the leading cause of death among cancer patients in many countries.
Изучение анатомического строения Ferula foetida разного возрастного состава и происхождения
Authors: Сағындыкова М.С. , Иманбаева А.А.
Published: April 2020

В статье приведены результаты анатомического строения листьев и корней ферулы вонючей различного возраста и географического происхождения. Объектами исследования являлись образцы растений, собранные в песках Туйесу, Карынжарык, окрестностях возвышенности Тынымбай шокы, у подножия гор Байсары, в возрасте от 1 до7 лет. Отмечены изменения в строении отдельных элементов анатомической структуры. Наибольшие изменения в процессе вегетации по годам отмечены для толщины коровой зоны. Не выявлена линейная зависимость в росте диаметра ксилемных сосудов, а так-же толщине корки корня. Незначительные отличия в строении листа связаны с тем, что надземные органы ферулы не сохраняются на протяжении всей жизни, а ежегодно отмирают в летний период и заново отрастают в весенний период. Поэтому, независимо от возраста растения, мы наблюдаем одинаковый план строения с практически одинаковыми параметрами клеток, тканей и участков листа и стебля. Проведенный анализ размеров показал, что максимальные размеры, как отдельных клеток, так и участков тканей и вместилищ, выявлены для особей, произрастающих в песках Карынжарык. Минимальные показатели отмечены для растений в окрестностях горы Байсары.
A emergência do padrão causativo [Xagente V.COM Yafetado] e seus efeitos para a expansão da rede de construções transitivas do português brasileiro contemporâneo
Authors: Lopes Monclar Guimarães
Published: April 2020

Este trabalho busca descrever a expansão da construção transitiva causativa, uma estrutura complexa, parcialmente esquemática e emergente no português brasileiro, que possibilita o aumento de valência em verbos originalmente inacusativos, conforme atestaram Lopes (2015, 2017) e Lopes e Menezes (2018), a partir de dados diacrônicos dos verbos acabar, desaparecer e sumir. Nesta fase da pesquisa, busca-se investigar a expansão dessa construção a partir de dados sincrônicos de dois outros verbos inacusativos: cessar e explodir. Nessa análise, propomos o conceito de construcionalidade, que visa ao estudo sincrônico da mudança em perspectiva funcional.

Parafia i kościół w Ornecie w świetle protokołu powizytacyjnego z 1798 r.
Authors: Kopiczko Andrzej
Published: April 2020

Podstawę źródłową artykułu stanowi protokół powizytacyjny parafii w Ornecie z 1798 r., spisany w języku łacińskim. Zawiera on informacje o początkach kościoła i jego wyposażeniu. Szczegółowo opisano w nim ołtarze i kaplice, chrzcielnicę i zakrystię. Odnotowano porządek nabożeństw oraz działające bractwa. Do przyjmowania Komunii św. wielkanocnej zobowiązanych było 2500 osób, ale do miejscowego kościoła przybywali też katolicy z protestanckich Prus w liczbie ok. 400. Na terenie parafii mieszkało jeszcze 60 luteranów, którym odprawiano nabożeństwa w gmachu magistratu. W protokole podano podstawowe dane biograficzne proboszcza ks. Tadeusza Orlikowskiego oraz trzech wikariuszy: ks. Antoniego Rehana, ks. Franciszka Wegnera i ks. Jana Kolberga. Wizytator sprawdził funkcjonowanie szkoły, podał nazwiska nauczyciela (Franciszka Eckerta) i kantora (Andrzeja Eckerta) oraz liczbę uczniów (90 chłopców). W mieście funkcjonowała jeszcze placówka prowadzona przez siostry katarzynki, w której 86 dziewcząt uczyło się czytania, pisania, prawd wiary oraz robótek ręcznych. Z pracowników kościelnych odnotowano także organistę (Antoniego Krohnenbergera), kościelnego (Jana Kolessa), grabarza (Jakuba Brauna) oraz akuszerki. Z instytucji parafialnych opisano dwa szpitale (Ducha Świętego i św. Jerzego). Dużo miejsca w protokole zajmuje kwestia uposażenia kościoła. Wiele z podanych w protokole informacji, zwłaszcza personalnych, nie było dotychczas odnotowanych w literaturze, zatem uzupełniają one w sposób znaczący naszą wiedzę o orneckiej parafii i tamtejszej świątyni.
Statut i regulamin Bractwa św. Anny w Warszawie z 1946 r.
Authors: Krucki Łukasz
Published: April 2020

Prymas August Hlond obejmując w 1946 roku archidiecezję warszawską, złączoną na mocy unii personalnej z archidiecezją gnieźnieńską, pragnął odnowić życie religijnie i moralnie wiernych (głównie studentów i ludzi związanych ze środowiskiem akademickim), którzy zamieszkiwali zniszczoną działaniami wojennymi stolicę. W tym celu postanowił wskrzesić bractwo św. Anny, posiadające tradycję sięgającą XVI wieku, i nadać mu status prawny odpowiadający aktualnemu prawu kościelnemu. Na przedstawiony mu projekt ustaw, datowany na 8 grudnia 1946 roku, osobiście naniósł poprawki. Dzięki temu bractwo św. Anny uzyskało oparcie prawne, a jednocześnie pozyskało protektora w osobie prymasa Polski. Sprawiło to, że mogło się ono rozwijać wśród społeczności akademickiej i inteligenckiej stolicy, a konstytutywne cele – krzewić ideę katolicyzmu w społeczeństwie oraz tworzyć odpowiednie środowisko dla odnowy moralności chrześcijańskiej, zdeprawowanej przez okupacyjną rzeczywistość. Nie były to jednak zadania łatwe, zważywszy na powojenną rzeczywistość rodzącego się w Polsce komunistycznego państwa.
„Skarbiec przemożny drogich pamiątek”. Zarys dziejów Archiwum Polskiej Prowincji Dominikanów w Krakowie
Authors: Sanak Marcin
Published: April 2020

W średniowieczu bracia kaznodzieje przechowywali archiwalia w skrzyniach, a rękopisy po zmarłych zakonnikach w bibliotekach klasztornych. Sformułowanie „archivio communi provinciae” („wspólne archiwum prowincji”) po raz pierwszy pojawiło się w aktach kapituły generalnej dominikanów w Wenecji w 1592 r. Kolejne kapituły polecały braciom bezpieczne przechowywanie przywilejów, bulli i akt procesów, spisywanie źródeł do historii prowincji oraz tworzenie inwentarzy dóbr, których duplikaty miały trafiać do centralnego archiwum prowincji. Ostateczne prawne ustanowienie archiwów prowincji miało miejsce na kapitule generalnej w Rzymie w 1756 r. Archiwum prowincji polskiej w XVIII w. przechowywano w bibliotece konwentu krakowskiego pw. św. Trójcy; w związku z planami beatyfikacji Męczenników Sandomierskich, generał zakonu polecił jego katalogowanie. W pierwszej połowie następnego stulecia mieściło się już w odrębnym pomieszczeniu, dzięki czemu przetrwało pożar klasztoru w 1850 r. W następnych dekadach archiwum ponownie znajdowało się w bibliotece; na przełomie XIX i XX w. opiekował się nim br. Kazimierz Jucewicz, a w drugiej dekadzie XX w. prac porządkowych podjął się o. Jacek Woroniecki OP. W 1926 r. ustanowiono urząd archiwariusza prowincji, który sprawowali kolejno ojcowie: Fabian Madura, Zygmunt Ogarek, Andrzej Gmurowski, Robert Świętochowski i Efrem Gliński. W 1937 r. archiwum zostało przeniesione do odrębnego magazynu. Na powojenne zorganizowanie Archiwum Polskiej Prowincji Dominikanów w obecnym kształcie duży wpływ miało ulokowanie w Krakowie licznych materiałów z likwidowanych klasztorów na Kresach południowo-wschodnich. Urząd archiwisty prowincji od 1946 r. pełnili ojcowie: Robert Świętochowski, Paweł Kielar, Zygmunt Bruno Mazur i Jan Andrzej Spież. Od 2009 r. archiwum kieruje o. Ireneusz Wysokiński OP.

ALLOGENOUS BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION FOR BONE MARROW FAILURE SYNDROME ON MOUSE MODEL
Authors: Truong Nhung Hai , Duong Thuy Thanh , Pham Phuc Van , Phan Ngoc Kim
Published: April 2020

Bone marrow failure (BMF) is a disease characterized by a drastic decline in the marrow's functional ability to produce blood cells. Emmanuel C Base et al (2008), the ratio of BMF disease in China, Asia is higher than Europe and US about from 3 to 4 fold. In Vietnam, the dangerous of BMF is ranked third among blood diseases (Vietnam Ministry of Health). Animal models of bone marrow failure syndromes have not only helped to strengthen our understanding of the mechanisms causing bone marrow failure but also applied for pre-clinical experiments. The aims of this research are: creating mouse (Mus musculus var Albino) models for bone marrow failure syndrome induced by chemicals such as busulfan and cyclophosphamide; and evaluating the treatment capacity of allogenous bone marrow transplantation on mouse models of BMF syndrome. The results showed that the combination of the two chemicals, the death rate caused by BMF can reach to 67%. The bone marrow transplantation can improve the alive ratio of mouse, which have bone marrow failure syndromes, from 33% to 88%.

Improvement of Bacillus licheniformis MZK05 by mutation for increased production of keratinase
Authors: Salaheen Serajus , Mamun Md Arafat Al , Khan Shakila Nargis , Hoq Md Mozammel
Published: April 2020

Bacillus licheniformis MZK05 was subjected to mutation by ultraviolet radiation for enhanced production of keratinase. Of 750 isolates from irradiated plates, 200 colonies that showed zone of casein hydrolysis on Skim Milk Agar were cultured in liquid Feather Meal Medium containing digested feather as carbon and nitrogen source in shake culture at 37ºC. The mutant B. licheniformis MZK05M9 (BlM9) exhibited highest enzyme activity of 170 ± 5.63 U/ml as compared to 74 ± 5.29 U/ml by the wild MZK05. Both the strains were examined for the presence of gene encoded for keratinase (kerA gene) by PCR using primer which showed the product sizes 1156 bp and 520 bp, respectively for MZK05 and BlM9. The keratinase from both strains exhibited a thermal stability of about 97% for 2 hrs at 40°C whereas the keratinase of the mutant strain showed less stability (55%) at 50°C. The BlM9 while cultivated in batch culture in 7 litre bioreactor for production of the keratinase in the Feather Meal Medium, the productivity was found to be double (17,608 U/L/hr) than that of in the shake flask culture (8,525 U/L/hr). This improved strain thus will be very useful for large scale production of keratinase enabling its technical applications in industry.

The use of biochar as ameliorator for soil arsenic
Authors: Noor Nadia , Mahmud Kishan , Chowdhury Md Tanvir Ahmed , Huq SM Imamul
Published: April 2020

Biochar and biomass were applied at the rate of 5 t/ha to soils that received arsenic containing water at a rate of 1 mg/l arsenic (80% arsenite and 20% arsenate). After 36 days of growth of Kalmi plants, the yield parameters, such as arsenic accumulation and fate of arsenic vis‐á‐vis biochar addition had been examined. The results showed that the addition of biochar had a positive but non‐significant impact on the yield parameters. Addition of biochar in the soil insignificantly increased the number of plants and the uptake of arsenic while the concentrations of extractable arsenic in soil decreased with biochar treatments. Source of biochar has a role to play towards this direction.

Spatial Soil Erosion Modeling for Sustainable Agriculture Development Using Remote Sensing and GIS Technology
Authors: Mandal Umesh K , Dutta Sukumar , Nazma MS , Ali Md Shahjahan , Sharifee NH , Ahmed Ashfaque
Published: April 2020

Middle mountain areas of Nepal Himalaya is seriously suffering from ecological degradation and an estimation of over 240 million cubic meter of top soil is being eroded annually to the Bay of Bengal. Thirteen per cent of Nepal’s watershed area have deteriorated seriously and 10,000 sq km are devoid of sufficient vegetation. Top soil loss from the mountain results in the riverbeds’ raise at a annual rate of 15 ‐ 30 cm and its effect on soil fertility declines. Considering this, an attempt was made to estimate the soil loss using GI Science technology and its correlative interpretation with land system units and land use and cover types from Maheshkhola watershed. Among several empirical and physically‐based erosion models, Revised USLE (RUSLE) using RKLSCP was used to estimate the soil loss in the present analysis. A total of 231,155 ton soil was estimated annually being lost from Maheshkhola watershed. Erosion rates were found highly associated with the slope of land system units. Thirty three per cent of the total soil loss were mainly contributed only by each land system units, 11 and 12. Depositional dissected alluvial fan was found highest of 3.62 t/ha/yr soil loss among the averages. Agriculture as a dominant human activity, spatially concentrated in 61.53% of the watershed area, was contributing significantly as of 90% of the total soil loss in the study area. Similarly soil cliff/landslide and river sand areas contributed 10.11 t/ha/yr and 9.38 t/ha/yr on an average, respectively. The land units, steeply mountainous terrain having soil loss more than 35 t/ha/yr must be given higher priorities for soil conservation.

Published: April 2020

The purpose of this study was to adapt Stirling Children’s Well-Being Scale (SCWBS) for measuring well-being of children of Bangladesh. Data were collected from 238 students, ages between 10 to 16 years of three different schools of Dhaka city. Psychometric properties were measured through Cronbach’s alpha (0.746), split-half (0.782), test-retest (0.791), which were satisfactory, respectively at 0.05, 0.05, and 0.01 level of significance. The demonstration of construct validity with Beck Self-Concept Inventory for Youth (BSCI-Y) and Beck Anxiety Inventory for Youth (BAI-Y) (two subtests of Adapted Bangla Beck Youth Inventories of Emotional and Social Impairment Scale) were 0.668 and –0.350, respectively, and item-total correlation (0.258 to 0.451) was also satisfactory. Thus psychometric results support that Bangla SCWBS is suitable for use in Bangladesh context. Mental health professionals can use Bangla SCWBS as a useful tool to assess changes in children’s wellbeing from a positive psychological perspective.

Published: April 2020

An experiment was conducted during T. Aman 2010 and Boro 2010-11 seasons to determine the effect of industrial effluents on seed germination and seedling growth of rice. In both the seasons, all the effluents and city waste water (CWW) had no effect on rice seed germination except pharmaceutical effluent. Pharmaceutical effluent showed the lowest seed germination. City waste water gave the highest shoot length (8.40 and 5.38 cm) and root length (8.06 and 6.35 cm) in the T. Aman and Boro seasons, respectively. Pharmaceutical effluent gave the highest shoot-root ratio of 10.49 while tannery effluent gave lowest ratio of 0.91. In both T. Aman and Boro seasons, seedling weight with and without endosperm, seedlings dry weight, seedling strength were found higher with CWW. During T. Aman and Boro seasons, relative germination ratio showed higher with a beverage effluent but relative shoot and root elongation ratio were found higher with CWW managed treatment.

Published: April 2020

Hudson’s parental‐child attachment scale (PCAS) is a popular instrument to assess the quality of parental child attachment ‐ the emotional bond that influences the social and emotional development of a child. The present study adapted this scale for using with Bangla speaking parents and their children. This study was conducted with 100 children and their parents (either father or mother). The internal consistency of the parental‐child attachment scale was computed by Cronbach’s alpha which was 0.888 for youth items and 0.816 for parent items. The split‐half reliability co‐efficient of the scale was 0.787 for youth items and 0.779 for parent items. So the preliminary reliability and content validity of the scale has been established.

Authors: Goni Osman , Roy Mollika , Wadud Nasreen , Dash Arobindu
Published: April 2020

The present study intends to investigate the medium-term effect of early life weather shock on non-verbal intelligence of SIDR affected children. The hypothesis was, the nonverbal IQ of SIDR affected children would be lower than the non-verbal IQ of SIDR non-affected children. For this purpose, 60 students of grade 4 - 5 were selected as respondents. Among them half of the respondents were from SIDR affected area and remaining were from non-affected area. In order to measure non-verbal intelligence, Test of Non-verbal Intelligence-2 (TONI-2) was administered which was developed by Brown et al. (1990). Independent-sample t-test was employed to compare the non-verbal intelligence of the participants in SIDR affected and SIDR non-affected conditions. The result shown that there is a significant difference on non-verbal intelligence between affected and non-affected samples and the nonverbal intelligence (IQ) of SIDR affected children is significantly lower than the non-verbal intelligence (IQ) of non-affected participants.

Published: April 2020

Two field experiments were conducted in two AEZs of Bangladesh viz. AEZ 28 and AEZ 3 to test the performance of waste concern organic fertilizer (WCOF) on the growth and yield of T. aman rice. The test sites were selected in the BRRI farm, Gazipur under AEZ 28 and BRRI farm Rangpur under AEZ 3. The experiments were done by using six treatments where T1 = Absolute control, T2 = NPKS @ 80-35-40-10 kg/ha, T3 = T2 + 1 t WCOF/ha, T4 = 75% of T2 + 1 t WCOF/ha, T5 = 50% of T2 + 2 t WCOF/ha and T6 = 2 t WCOF/ha. The application of WCOF in combination with chemical fertilizer significantly increased plant height, panicle number, grain and straw yields of T. aman rice over control in both AEZs. It was observed that the application of WCOF @ 1 t/ha + 75% of T2 (NPKS @ 80-35-40-10 kg/ha) produced higher yields. The study revealed that the treatments T4 and T5 may be the most economically viable fertilizer management packages for T. aman rice cultivation in AEZ 28 while the treatment T4 may be recommended for AEZ 3.

The study was carried out to determine length-weight relationship and sex ratio of a freshwater fish Amblypharyngodon mola (Hamilton 1822) collected from Dekar haor of Sunamganj district during the period of January to August 2017. A total of 2000 fishes were collected for the study and categorized these fishes into three groups namely males, females and combined sexes. Among 2000 mola 777 were male and 1223 were female. Length-weight equations and the correlation coefficients obtained for males, females and combined ones were: males Y = –1.97 + 3.00X, r = 0.883; females Y = –2.30 + 3.41X, r = 0.914 and combined Y = –2.11 + 3.16X, r = 0.904. Female’s A. mola attained more weight with the increases in length. Value of correlation coefficient ‘r’ was 0.883 for male and exhibited highly positive correlation between length and weight. On the contrary, ‘r’ value for female was 0.914 and it had also strongly positive correlation between length and weight relationships. Length-weight relationship of A. mola for male, female and combined sexes showed allometric pattern of growth. Condition factor ‘K’ for male, female and combined sexes was 1.09, 1.05 and 1.06, respectively and indicated better condition of fishes. The highest sex ratio (1 : 2.05) was found in May and the lowest (1 : 1.33) was in February. Dominance of females over males throughout the year was observed with an average ratio of male and female 1 : 1.57. Therefore, results of the study indicate that the existing hydrobiological conditions of the haor are conducive for food availability, free movement, feeding and better growth of the fish.

Published: April 2020

In the face of accelerating climate change, conservation strategies will need to consider how marine animals deal with forecast environmental change as well as ongoing threats. We used 10 yr (2009-2018) of data from commercial fisheries and a bather protection program along the coast of New South Wales (NSW), southeastern Australia, to investigate (1) spatial and temporal patterns of occurrence in bull sharks and (2) environmental factors affecting bull shark occurrence along the coast of NSW. Predicted future distribution for this species was modelled for the forecast strengthening East Australian Current. Bull sharks were mostly harvested in small to larger estuaries, with average depth and rainfall responsible for contrasting patterns for each of the fisheries. There was an increase in the occurrence of bull sharks over the last decade, particularly among coastal setline fisheries, associated with seasonal availability of thermal gradients >22°C and both westward and southward coastal currents stronger than 0.15 and 0.60 m s-1, respectively, during the austral summer. Our model predicts a 3 mo increase in the availability of favourable water temperatures along the entire coast of NSW for bull sharks by 2030. This coastline provides a uniquely favourable topography for range expansion in the face of a southerly shift of warmer waters, and habitat is unlikely to be a limiting factor for bull sharks in the future. Such a southerly shift in distribution has implications for the management of bull sharks both in commercial fisheries and for mitigation of shark-human interactions.
Who Will Defend Democracy? Evaluating Tradeoffs in Candidate Support Among Partisan Donors and Voters

Scholars and pundits fear that the American public's commitment to democracy is declining and that citizens are willing to embrace candidates who would trample democratic principles. We examine whether violations of those principles generate resistance from both voters and top campaign donors and whether such resistance extends across partisan lines. In a conjoint survey experiment, we investigate how regular citizens and donor elites trade off partisanship, policy positions, and support for democratic values when choosing between hypothetical political candidates. Our findings indicate that both citizens and donors punish candidates who endorse violations of democratic principles irrespective of party. However, we find partisan polarization (especially among donors) in the effects of candidates supporting voter identification laws that threaten access to the franchise. These results suggest that the public and donors may sometimes be willing to forgive transgressions against democratic norms that align with their partisan and policy preferences.
Invention is not taught
Authors: Menezes Flo
Published: April 2020

In this text, composer Flo Menezes shares his impressions on teaching composition. The specif ic context is his experience as a selected composer at the Royaumont courses in 1995, under the supervision of British composer Brian Ferneyhough and Swiss composer Michael Jarrell, while he was writing his "TransFormantes II" (1995) for piano and clarinet. Menezes describes his impressions of Ferneyhough's teaching methods, on his behavior towards students, and how Ferneyhough put himself, aesthetically speaking, always in solidarity with the stundent's work. In comparison to Royaumont, he also mentions his experience as a student from Willy CorreÌ‚a de Oliveira in Brazil, who, on the other hand, was quite critical on the students' aesthetic decisions. Based on these encounters, Menezes discusses the specif icities of teaching composition, from the benefits of musical analysis to the impossibilities of teaching inventive process. [note by editor]

Published: April 2020

Origami structures are highly demanded for engineering applications. Using origami folding to design and actuate mechanisms and machines offers attractive opportunities. In this paper, we design a crawling robot driven by pneumatic foldable actuators (PFAs) based on Miura-ori, according to the parallel foldable structure and different control patterns, which can perform different movements. The PFA inspired from Miura-ori is composed of a folding part, transition part, and sealing part, made by flexible materials and a paper skeleton. This actuator can obtain a large deformation by folding under negative pressure due to its own characteristics, and the relationship between deformation and pressure is analyzed. According to the different folding and unfolding times of left and right actuators, the crawling robot can perform both linear and turning movements. The speed of the robot is about 5 mm/s and it can turn at a speed of about 15°/s. The crawling robot uses the ability of the foldable structure to cope with the challenges of different environments and tasks.

Chemical Fingerprint of Free Polyphenols and Antioxidant Activity in Dietary Fruits and Vegetables Using a Non-Targeted Approach Based on QuEChERS Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction Combined with UHPLC-PDA
Authors: Aguiar Joselin , Gonçalves João L. , Alves Vera L. , Câmara José S.
Published: April 2020

Fruits and vegetables are considered a good source of antioxidants, which are beneficial in protecting the human body against damage induced by free radicals and other reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) species. In this work, we aimed to evaluate the integral antioxidant activity (AOA) and determine individual polyphenols in fruits and vegetables of frequent consumption. For this purpose, an innovative and high throughput analytical approach based on original QuEChERS assisted by ultrasound extraction (USAE), instead of the manual agitation used in the classical procedure, was optimized and implemented for the isolation of polyphenols. The total phenolic content (TPC), flavonoids, anthocyanins, and betalains were evaluated using different spectrophotometric assays. In addition, free radical scavenging by methods 2,2’-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) and 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) were used to estimate the AOA of the investigated fruit and vegetable extracts. Red onion, tamarillo, and beetroot were the samples with the highest AOA. The quantification and identification of free low molecular weight polyphenols from QuEChERS-USAE extracts was carried out by ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography equipped with a photodiode array detection system (UHPLC-PDA). Catechin was the most abundant polyphenol, followed by gentisic and ferulic acids, mainly in the watercress sample. In relation to flavonols, quercetin and kaempferol were found mostly in onion samples, and in small quantities in tomato and watercress. The improved analytical approach, QuEChERS-USAE/UHPLC-PDA, offers an attractive alternative for the analysis of polyphenols from fruit and vegetable samples, providing several advantages over traditional extraction techniques, in terms of reproducibility, simplicity, low cost, analysis speed, and analytical performance.

Published: April 2020

The present study aimed to investigate whether probiotic recovery is affected when consumed together with antibiotics. Fecal samples were collected from an earlier antibiotic associated diarrhea, randomized, placebo-controlled study with a product consisting of a combination of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc-37, and Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07, B. lactis Bl-04 at equal numbers and at a total dose of 1010 CFU. Fecal samples were collected during the screening visit (T0), i.e., at the time of antibiotic prescription, and then on the last day of the antibiotic treatment (T1) as well as seven days after the subject had stopped taking the antibiotic treatment (T2) and at two weeks after completing antibiotic treatment and one week after probiotic/placebo consumption stopped (T3). Samples were analyzed for the presence of the four administered strains. The study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01596829. Detection levels of all four strains were significantly increased from T0 to T1 and returned to baseline level from T2 to T3. There were also significantly more subjects with detectable levels of L. paracasei Lpc-37, B. lactis Bi-07, and B. lactis Bl-04 at T1 and T2 compared to T0 and T3, and compared to placebo. Each of the four strains could be detected in the feces of patients apparently unaffected by the simultaneous consumption of antibiotics.
Estrogen Receptors Alpha and Beta in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Authors: Roma Alessia , Spagnuolo Paul A.
Published: April 2020

Estrogen receptor (ER) signaling has been widely studied in a variety of solid tumors, where the differential expression of ERα and ERβ subtypes can impact prognosis. ER signaling has only recently emerged as a target of interest in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), an aggressive hematological malignancy with sub-optimal therapeutic options and poor clinical outcomes. In a variety of tumors, ERα activation has proliferative effects, while ERβ targeting results in cell senescence or death. Aberrant ER expression and hypermethylation have been characterized in AML, making ER targeting in this disease of great interest. This review describes the expression patterns of ERα and ERβ in AML and discusses the differing signaling pathways associated with each of these receptors. Furthermore, we assess how these signaling pathways can be targeted by various selective estrogen receptor modulators to induce AML cell death. We also provide insight into ER targeting in AML and discuss pending questions that require further study.

Published: April 2020

p-tBu-calix[4]arene (H4TBC[4]) has proven to be an incredibly versatile ligand for the synthesis of 3d- and 3d/4f- clusters, in particular those containing mixed-valent Mn ions. These are of interest to the magnetochemist for the diversity of magnetic behaviours that can be shown, along with a huge variety of nuclearities and topologies accessible, which allow one to outline magneto-structural correlations and a quantitative understanding of their properties. This contribution reports the synthesis, analysis and magnetic properties of a Brucite-like Mn-oxo/hydroxo octanuclear fragment encapsulated within/capped by four [MnIII-TBC[4]]− moieties. A diol coligand in the reaction mixture plays a seemingly important role in determining the outcome, though it is not incorporated in the final structure.
Investigation of the Horizontal Motion of Particle-Laden Jets
Authors: Tavangar Tooran , Tofighian Hesam , Tarokh Ali
Published: April 2020

Particle-laden jet flows can be observed in many industrial applications. In this investigation, the horizontal motion of particle laden jets is simulated using the Eulerian–Lagrangian framework. The two-way coupling is applied to the model to simulate the interaction between discrete and continuum phase. In order to track the continuum phase, a passive scalar equation is added to the solver. Eddy Life Time (ELT) is employed as a dispersion model. The influences of different non-dimensional parameters, such as Stokes number, Jet Reynolds number and mass loading ratio on the flow characteristics, are studied. The results of the simulations are verified with the available experimental data. It is revealed that more gravitational force is exerted on the jet as a result of the increase in mass loading, which deflects it more. Moreover, with an increase in the Reynolds number, the speed of the jet rises, and consequently, the gravitational force becomes less capable of deviating the jet. In addition, it is observed that by increasing the Stokes number, the particles leave the jet at higher speed, which causes a lower deviation of the jet.
