The Moses effect enables remote control of self-propulsion of a diamagnetic rotator
Authors: Vilk Alla , Legchenkova Irina , Frenkel Mark , Shoval Shraga , Bormashenko Edward
Published: April 2019

The experimental possibility of driving a floating self-propelled rotator by using the Moses effect is demonstrated. A steady magnetic field with a magnitude on the order of B ≅ 0·5 T formed the near-surface dip with a depth of c. 30 μm and lateral dimension of 5 mm, which attracted the floating, millimeter-scaled rotator, made from a polymer tubing filled by camphor and driven by the soluto-capillary Marangoni flows. The Marangoni flows driving the rotator are due to the dissolution of camphor. The Moses effect did not influence the angular velocity of the rotator. The characteristic time span of the rotation was established on the order of a dozen of hours. The longer rotators decrease their initial angular velocity slower. The qualitative analysis of the energy dissipation under rotation is provided. The model is qualitatively supported by the experimental data. The rotator may be exploited as a robotic propulsion unit and also for micro-generation of electrical power.
Types of Erythropoietin-Stimulating Agents and Mortality among Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis
Authors: Sakaguchi Yusuke , Hamano Takayuki , Wada Atsushi , Masakane Ikuto
Published: April 2019

Significance Statement

Although both short-acting and long-acting erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESAs) are used to treat anemia in patients undergoing hemodialysis, the relative effects on survival of these ESA types are unknown. In this nationwide, registry-based cohort study enrolling 194,698 patients on hemodialysis, the authors found that long-acting ESA users showed a 13% higher rate of death than short-acting ESA users (P<0.001) during the 2-year follow-up period. The difference in risk was pronounced among patients receiving high doses of ESA, for whom the adjusted 2-year number needed to harm for death was 30.8. Survival of long-acting ESA users who achieved more optimal hemoglobin levels was inferior to that of short-acting ESA users. Among patients on hemodialysis, long-acting ESA use might be associated with an increased rate of death compared with short-acting ESA use.

Background

Despite the widespread use of erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESAs) to treat anemia in patients undergoing hemodialysis, the relative mortality risks associated with use of different types of ESAs are unknown.

Methods

To compare the mortality risk associated with use of short-acting ESAs versus long-acting ESAs, we conducted a nationwide cohort study of 194,698 hemodialysis patients in Japan who received either a short-acting (epoetin α/β or epoetin κ) or a long-acting (darbepoetin or epoetin β pegol) ESA. Study outcomes were 2-year all-cause and cause-specific mortality. In addition to Cox proportional hazards models, we performed an instrumental variable analysis in which facility-level long-acting ESA prescription rates were taken as the instrumental variable.

Results

During the 2-year follow-up period, 31,557 deaths occurred. In a multivariable Cox model, long-acting ESA users had a 13% higher rate of deaths compared with short-acting ESA users, a significant difference (P<0.001). Similar results were obtained in other analyses. This difference in risk was pronounced among patients receiving high doses of ESA (for whom the adjusted 2-year number needed to harm for death was 30.8). Long-acting ESA use was associated with an increased rate of death from cardiovascular diseases, infection, and malignancies. In the instrumental variable analysis, long-acting ESA users remained at a significantly higher risk of death. Compared with anemic (hemoglobin 9.0–9.9 g/dl) short-acting ESA users, long-acting ESA users who achieved more optimal hemoglobin levels (10.0–10.9 g/dl) showed a higher mortality rate.

Conclusions

Among patients undergoing hemodialysis, use of long-acting ESAs might be associated with a higher risk of death than use of short-acting ESAs.

FABRY LONGITUDINAL STUDY v1
Authors: Michaud Langis
Published: April 2019

Cette étude a pour but premier d’établir les caractéristiques oculaires individuelles d’une population diagnostiquée de la maladie de Fabry et d’en suivre l’évolution sur une période de 5 ans. Le second but de l’étude est d’établir la fréquence des atteintes oculaires en fonction du sexe des patients atteints, de leur degré de gravité de la maladie et selon le type génétique des patients atteints. Un troisième objectif est de déterminer si il existe des différences morphologiques, dans le segment antérieur, entre les patients atteints et un groupe contrôle (courbure de la cornée, épaisseur, angle irido-cornéen, profondeur de la chambre antérieure, épaisseur du ménisque lacrymal) Un quatrième objectif est de déterminer la façon la plus appropriée de dépister les signes et symptômes de la maladie dans une population clinique habituelle. Le mode de dépistage, à partir des observations de signes oculaires, s’intéresse également à la présence potentielle de maladies réliés à une mucopolysaccharidose (MPS). De façon idéale, cette étude se déroulera sur une période de 5 ans mais nécessite d’abord la réalisation de travaux préliminaires durant quelques mois (phase 1). Dans un premier temps, une première cohorte de patient sera recrutée afin de valider les procédures et les tests qui sont pertinents afin de répondre aux objectifs fixés au départ. Après l’analyse des résultats préliminaires, l’étude sera alors poursuivie afin de suivre la même population clinique sur une période de 5 ans (phase 2). Pour le patient déjà diagnostiqué de la maladie de Fabry ou d’une MPS, une seule rencontre annuelle est requise afin de procéder à la collecte de toutes les données cliniques. Plusieurs tests habituels en optométrie seront effectués : mesure de l’acuité visuelle, des aberrations optiques de l’oeil, étude détaillée des structures oculaires du segment antérieur et postérieur, topographies cornéennes, et évaluation du champ visuel. Des photos du segment antérieur et de la rétine seront prises au moment de la visite. Chez certains patients, des tests supplémentaires seront effectués afin de mesurer leur contribution au dépistage et au suivi des patients : la microscopie confocale de la cornée de même qu’une évaluation des structures du segment antérieur par tomographie par cohérence optique (OCT). Dans le cas du dépistage des diverses atteintes, l’on procédera d’abord à l’administration d’un questionnaire particulier chez tous les patients se présentant pour une consultation à la Clinique Universitaire de la Vision. Périodiquement, les résultats du questionnaire seront analysés et les éléments les plus pertinents seront incorporés au questionnaire généralement administré à la CUV afin que le dépistage de la maladie devienne une procédure courante.

Background: To analyse adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reported in patients prescribed psychiatric medications at tertiary care hospital.Methods: ADRs reported in psychiatric patients between January 2011 to June 2017 were analyzed for demographic details, causal drugs, system organ classification, causality assessment (WHO-UMC criteria and Naranjo’s scale), preventability (Modified Schumock and Thorton’s criteria) and severity (Hartwing scale).Results: A total 4368 ADRs were reported during study period, out of which 658 (15.06%) were in psychiatric patients. The mean age of patients was 38±13.34 years and men (57.3%) were most commonly affected than women (42.7%). The most common causal drug groups were antidepressants (29.48%) followed by antipsychotics (23.12%) which include drug fluoxetine (33.9%) and olanzapine (34.3%) respectively. The most common system involved were central nervous system (32.8%) followed by gastrointestinal system (22.8%). Most of ADRs (42.7%) were observed after one month of therapy and showed possible (77%) causal relation with drug therapy. Majority of ADRs (77.4%) were not preventable and mild in nature (83.3%).Conclusions: ADRs are commonly seen in psychiatric patients. Hence, their monitoring and assessment in these patients who require multidrug and long-term therapy may help improve patient management.

Published: April 2019

The biological activity of extracts from Trichilia americana (Sesse and Mocino) T.D. Penn. (rind), Carica papaya L., Jatropha curcas L., Ricinus communis L., and Lupinus campestris Schldl. & Cham. (seeds), at 1% and 5%, were evaluated on neonates of Copitarsia decolora Guenée in ingestion bioassays. The plants that caused the highest percentage of larval mortality were T. americana at 1% and 5%, and Carica papaya at 5% with 98% and 100% and 100%, respectively. Trichilia americana was the plant with higher toxicological properties against C. decolora. Extracts in hexane, ethyl acetate, acetone, and methanol from T. americana were then evaluated at 10, 100, 300, and 1,000 ppm also in ingestion bioassays against C. decolora. Extracts of ethyl acetate and acetone at 1,000 ppm recorded the highest percentages of larval mortality of C. decolora (90% and 55%, respectively). In addition to larval mortality, feeding on T. americana extract also decreased mean larval weight, prolonged duration of the larval stage, resulted in malformed pupae and adults, and affected adult fertility and fecundity. Finally, these extracts were evaluated in a toxicity model, for which the crustacean Artemia salina Leach was used. The ethyl acetate, acetone, and hexane extracts showed no toxicity to A. salina, while the methanol extract caused 30% mortality, which is considered to be slightly toxic. Based on the results obtained, T. americana is a species with insecticidal and insectistatic activity against C. decolora and can be considered as a potential insecticide for the management of this or other insect pests.

Published: April 2019

Este artigo discute a relação entre ocupações em margens de rios em meio urbano na Amazônia e a arcabouço legal sobre Áreas de Preservação Permanente no Brasil. Apesar da pouca notoriedade dada às APPs em meio urbano, essas podem ser classificadas como um dos mecanismos de combate ao cenário de degradação nas cidades brasileiras. Portanto, se o Código Florestal fosse adequadamente respeitado pelas cidades brasileiras, grande parte das necessidades urbanas seria atendida. O estudo de caso foi realizado nas áreas úmidas de Macapá, cidade tipicamente amazônicas, que sofre intensa ocupação urbana e deterioração da qualidade ambiental. A mudança de uso do solo nas margens da Lagoa dos Índios foi destacada, provando que as novas atividades vêm ocasionando seu assoreamento e alterando a morfologia de drenagens. Existe o descarte de efluentes líquidos e detritos domésticos produzidos tanto por habitações como órgãos públicos e comércio. Essa prática está relacionada à falta de monitoramento e fiscalização pelos órgãos ambientais, mas, sobretudo, pela ausência de infraestrutura urbana do município que não oferece serviços de saneamento básico.

Authors: Ichwanda Naufal Rhyo , Lie Wilyam , Prakoso Septyanto Galan
Published: April 2019

Pork as one of most consumed meat in the world had a big potential to be on prospective international trade commodities. Asia, especially East Asia and Southeast Asia had a deep root culture of pork culinary even in Moslem-majority countries like Indonesia and Malaysia. Although its commodity price is considered low in the international trade, the demand of pork is relatively stable. Current top exporter of pork is being held by European Union, followed by United States and Canada, while the current top importer of pork is held by China followed by United States. Southeast Asia actually had a potential to develop its pork export and take some of international market but in reality Southeast Asian countries still struggling to develop their pork export. Between Southeast Asia countries only Thailand and Vietnam who are able to export their pork meat to other countries in a large scale. Therefore, we want to share the result of our qualitative study regarding this topic to enhance the knowledge about the condition and the prospect of this commodity and what barrier that hinder Southeast Asian countries from developing their pork market by using competitive advantage theory and pork farm in Surakarta, Indonesia as the study case. The results of our study are expected could be used as reference to develop pork export in Southeast Asia.
IDENTIFIKASI DAMPAK LIBERALISASI KEUANGAN DALAM SMALL OPEN ECONOMY: STUDI KASUS DI INDONESIA

Published: April 2019

Abstrak- Adanya pandangan bahwa liberalisasi keuangan berperan penting dalam mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi menyebabkan banyak negara-negara berkembang melakukan serangkaian kebijakan liberalisasi di sektor keuangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi secara empiris dampak liberalisasi keuangan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi dan variabel makro ekonomi lainnya di Indonesia. Penelitian ini mengembangkan model empiris melalui pengukuran liberalisasi keuangan secara de fakto dan de jure. Hasil estimasi model Vector Autoregression (VAR) dalam pendekatan de jure menunjukkan bahwa indeks liberalisasi keuangan secara statistik tidak berpengaruh siginifikan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi dan variabel makro lainnya (inflasi, nilai tukar dan suku bunga). Dalam pendekatan de facto, hasil pengujian kointegrasi menunjukkan adanya hubungan jangka panjang antara pertumbuhan ekonomi dan seluruh indikator yang digunakan sebagai proksi liberalisasi keuangan. Hasil estimasi pada pendekatan de facto melalui model Vector Error Corrrection Model (VECM) mengindikasikan bahwa liberalisasi keuangan memberikan efek negatif terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi melalui peningkatan kredit perbankan terhadap sektor swasta. Secara keseluruhan hasil penelitian ini tidak dapat menemukan bukti kuat terkait adanya dampak positif liberalisasi keuangan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi dalam small open economy seperti di Indonesia.

Methane Hydrate Stability and Potential Reserves in the Levant Basin, Southeastern Mediterranean Sea
Authors: Tayber Ziv , Meilijson Aaron , Ben-Avraham Zvi , Makovsky Yizhaq
Published: April 2019

To estimate The potential inventory of natural gas hydrates in the Levant Basin we correlated the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ), modeled with locally estimated thermodynamic parameters, with seismic indicators of gas. Compilation of oceanographic measurements define the deep-water temperature and salinity to 13.8°C and 38.8‰ respectively, predicting the top GHSZ at a water depth of 1250±5 m. Assuming beneath the seafloor a hydrostatic pore-pressure, the water body salinity, and geothermal gradients ranging between 20 to 28.5°C/km, yields a useful first-order base-GHSZ approximation. Our model predicts that the entire northwestern half of the Levant Basin lies within the GHSZ, with a median thickness of ~150 m.  High amplitude seismic reflectivity (HASR) imaged on an extensive 3D seismic dataset, consistently correlates with verified active seafloor gas seepage and is pervasively distributed across the deep-sea fan of the Nile within the Levant. Two main trends observed for the distribution of HASR are suggested to represent: (1) shallow gas and possibly hydrates, within buried channel-lobe systems 25 to 100 m beneath the seafloor; and (2) a regionally discontinuous bottom simulating reflection (BSR) broadly matching the modeled base GHSZ. We therefore estimate the potential methane hydrates reserve within the Levant Basin at ~4 Tcf.

This study investigated the effects of starvation and refeeding on the histological features of stomach and intestine in Penaeus japonicus Spence Bate, 1888. Five treatment groups of P. japonicus were initially starved for 0, 5, 10, 15 and 25 days (designated as S0, S5, S10, S15 and S25, respectively) and subsequently fed for 15 days. The effect on digestive system was evaluated using epithelial cell height in stomach and intestine as the assessment criteria and significant decrease in epithelial cell height was considered as damage due to starvation. With prolonged starvation period, the structure of stomach and intestine were found compromised. In the 5 days starvation group (S5), the damage of the digestive system was not significant, whereas the damages became significant after 25 days starvation (S25). In the damaged digestive system of shrimp, the boundary disappeared and the cells were found disassembled. The lumen of hepatic tubule in midgut gland enlarged, the number of the R cells decreased, and the cells were found disassembled. After refeeding, the structures in the stomach, intestine and midgut gland recovered, almost similar to the control group except in the 25 days starvation group. Results from the present study provide practical guidelines for feeding pattern during culture of P. japonicus.

The catch pattern of P. indicus in coastal lagoons is influenced by seasonal changes in physicochemical parameters of the lagoon ecosystem. In this study the effects of seasonality, salinity and water emperature of lagoon on P. indicus catch were analysed using Structural Time Series Model (STSM) and ARIMAX (Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average with explanatory variables) modeling approach using monthly time series catch, salinity and water temperature data of the Chilika Lagoon (a Ramsar site) in India for the period from 2001 to 2015. Results showed a significant (p<0.05) increasing stochastic upward trend and two seasonal cycles for P. indicus catch in the lagoon. Salinity was found to have significant positive influence (p<0.05) and temperature to have insignificant positive influence on P. indicus catch in the lagoon.

The present study was conducted to assess the size distribution, sex ratio, size at first sexual maturity, fecundity and spawning season of the commercially important orange mud crab Scylla olivacea (Herbst, 1796) in Pichavaram mangroves in south-east India. This study is the first contribution to the knowledge of reproductive biology of S. olivacea from the Indian coast. Size distribution analysis in the fishery revealed the irrational exploitation of undersized S. olivacea. The estimated sex ratio deviated from equality, being 1:0.87, revealing a male domination. Size at first sexual maturity was determined to be 87 mm in carapace width (CW) in females. Fecundity ranged from 1.16 to 3.53 million in females of 76 to 135 mm CW. Breeding takes place year-round with a peak in pre-monsoon, indicating that it is a prolific breeder. Results revealed that immature individuals of S. olivacea contributed significantly to the catches and thus an effective management of the resource by framing minimum legal size is crucial so that the females are allowed to spawn at least once prior to capture.

A comprehensive study on fishery, length-weight relationship, trophodynamics and reproductive aspects of the blackbanded trevally Seriolina nigrofasciata (Ruppel, 1829), collected during January 2013 to December 2017 from fishing vessels operating along eastern Arabian Sea off south-west coast of India was conducted. Among the maritime states of the country, Karnataka was the major contributor (53.9%) followed by Kerala (24.1%), Maharashtra (16%) and Tamil Nadu (4.3%). In Karnataka, 99.5% of the blackbanded trevally catch was exploited by trawl net and rest by outboard gillnets (0.5%). The total length ranged from 16.3 to 57.5 cm with fishes in the size range of 24 to 36 cm forming 80.8% of the catch. The length-weight relationship estimated showed a negative allometric growth for both sexes with b values of 2.595 for females and 2.504 for males. The estimated ‘a’ values for females and males were 0.00013 and 0.00021 respectively. In all, fifteen prey items under three major groups (teleosts, cephalopods and crustaceans) comprised the diet, with teleosts (73.23%) being the predominant food item followed by cephalopods (26.53%) and crustaceans (0.24%) in terms of index of relative importance (IRI). Overall sex ratio (male: female) of 1:1.15 indicated a slight dominance of females over males. The length at first maturity was estimated at 25.0 cm for male and 27.0 cm for female. The availability of mature and spent specimens all through the year implied that the species has prolonged spawning period with a peak during the summer season (March-May) and a minor secondary peak in post-monsoon season (October to December).

Mucus layer from epidermal secretions of the fish act as a first line of defense between fish and pathogens in their environment. Fish skin mucus has been reported to prevent colonisation of pathogenic bacteria. The objective of the present study was to explore the antibacterial activity of epidermal mucus extracts from three freshwater air-breathing fish species (Clarias gariepinus, Heteropneustis fossilis and Channa punctatus) against human bacterial pathogens. The crude, acidic and organic extracts of skin mucus were prepared and tested for antibacterial activity by disc diffusion method against three Gram positive (Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae) and 5 Gram negative (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Vibrio inaba and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria. Out of 72 tests performed (nine types of mucus extracts against eight different bacterial strains), 59 tests showed antibacterial activity. The order of the level of antibacterial activity of the mucus of the three fish species observed in the present study was, C. gariepinus > C. punctatus > H. fossilis and the acidic extract of C. gariepinus showed the maximum antibacterial activity against Gram negative bacteria.
