Authors: Horst Carolyn , Gholipour Bahareh , Nair Arjun , Jacob Joseph
Published: June 2019

Objectives:

To describe the challenges inherent in diagnosing fibrosing lung diseases (FLD) on CT imaging and methodologies by which the diagnostic process may be simplified.

Methods:

Extensive searches in online scientific databases were performed to provide relevant and contemporary evidence that describe the current state of knowledge related to FLD diagnosis. This includes descriptions of the utility of a working diagnosis for an individual case discussed in a multidisciplinary team (MDT) setting and challenges associated with the lack of consensus guidelines for diagnosing chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Results:

As well as describing imaging features that indicate the presence of a fibrosing lung disease, those CT characteristics that nuance a diagnosis of the various FLDs are considered. The review also explains the essential information that a radiologist needs to convey to an MDT when reading a CT scan. Lastly, we provide some insights as to the future directions the field make take in the upcoming years.

Conclusions:

This review outlines the current state of FLD diagnosis and emphasizes areas where knowledge is limited, and more evidence is required. Fundamentally, however, it provides a guide for radiologists when tackling CT imaging in a patient with FLD.

Advances in knowledge:

This review encompasses advice from recent guideline statements and evidence from the latest studies in FLD to provide an up-to-date manual for radiologists to aid the diagnosis of FLD on CT imaging in an MDT setting.

Published: June 2019

The aim of this study was to systematically examine the literature on physical activity and sleep in non-clinical and population-based settings. The inclusion criteria were original studies testing the association between physical activity (as exposure) and sleep (as outcome) in representative samples of the general population, workers, or undergraduate students. Sleep health included sleep duration, sleep quality and insomnia. Studies evaluating samples including only individuals with some disease or a health condition were excluded. A search was performed in the PubMed, Scopus, Lilacs, CINAHL, and SPORTdiscus databases in March 2018. Data extraction was performed using the following items: year, author, country, population, age group, sample size, study design, sleep measurement/definition, physical activity measurement/definition, adjustment and main results. A total of 57 studies were selected, which markedly used heterogeneous instruments to measure physical activity and sleep. The majority were conducted in high-income countries and with cross-sectional design. Physical activity was associated with lower odds of insomnia (observed in 10 of 17 studies), poor sleep quality (observed in 12 of 19 studies) and long sleep duration (observed in 7 of 11 studies). The results about short sleep or continuous sleep duration remain unclear. Physical activity seems to be associated with sleep quality and insomnia, especially among adult and elderly populations in which these outcomes are more usually measured. The short- and long-term effects of physical activity intensities and dose-response on sleep should be better evaluated.

Abstract. Kurniasih NS, Susandarini R, Susanto FA, Nuringtyas TR, Jenkins G, Purwestri YA. 2019. Characterization of Indonesian pigmented rice (Oryza sativa) based on morphology and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms. Biodiversitas 20: 1208-1214. Indonesia has many cultivars of pigmented rice, but many variants have not been characterized using morphological characters and molecular markers. SNPs (Single Nucleotide polymorphisms) have been used in previous studies to identify the Indica and Japonica subspecies. Characterization of whether a line belongs to the Indica or Japonica subspecies is useful information for rice breeders, especially to generate line exhibiting the strong hybrid vigor. Morphological characters are used to determine the relationship between cultivars using cluster analysis. The SNP markers were amplified by PCR, sequenced and compared with sequences in the GenBank. Based on morphological characters, ten cultivars divide into two clusters. SNPs distinguish Indica and Japonica subspecies, and show that Hitam Lampung, Aek Sibundong, Melik, Hitam Toraja, Merah Kalimantan, and Merah Sumbawa belong to the Indica subspecies while Cempo Ireng and Pare Eja belong to Japonica. Abang Segreng and Hitam Toraja could not be clearly assigned to either the Indica or Japonica subspecies.

Abstract. Rahayu S, Fitri L, Ismail YS. 2019. Short communication: Endophytic actinobacteria isolated from ginger (Zingiber officinale) and its potential as a pancreatic lipase inhibitor and its toxicity. Biodiversitas 20: 1312-1317.  Endophytic actinobacteria from ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) is a bacterium that is capable of producing secondary metabolites that are the same as their hosts. This study aims to look at the potential of endophytic actinobacteria from ginger as a pancreatic lipase inhibitor and its toxicity. Endophytic actinobacteria were isolated, purified, then tested for pancreatic lipase inhibitors and their toxicity using the BSLT method (Brine Shrimp Lethality Test) and phytochemical tested on ethanol extract of selected isolates. Seven endophytic actinobacterial isolates were isolated from the ginger rhizome. The isolates had different morphological diversity based on colony and microscopic observations and 5 isolates had pancreatic lipase inhibitor activity. The highest inhibitors were found in AJ4 isolates (89.9%), compared with pancreatic lipase inhibitors crude extracts of ginger (68.9%) and orlistat (88.1%) as positive controls. The LC50 value of AJ4 isolates was 653,381 ppm and the value of LT50 was 17,569 hours. AJ4 isolates contain terpenoids, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and saponins. This research data is considered as new information about the potential of endophytic actinobacteria from ginger as pancreatic lipase inhibitors and their toxicity.

Abstract. Nurrohman E, Zubaidah S, Kuswantoro H. 2019. Agronomical performance of soybean genotypes infected by Cowpea Mild Mottle Virus in various level of nitrogen. Biodiversitas 20: 1255-1263. Nitrogen is one of the essential nutrients during the process of vegetative and generative growth of soybean. Nitrogen deficiency during the growth can adverse to agronomical plant traits. This study was aimed to discover the influence of nitrogen on the agronomical traits of the soybean lines and varieties infected by cowpea mild mottle virus (CpMMV). The trial was arranged in factorial randomized complete block design with three replications. The first factor was the nitrogen dose consisting of four nitrogen doses while the soybean genotypes as the second factor consisted of seven genotypes. The results showed that nitrogen did not influence the plant resistance to CpMMV. The plant resistance was more affected by the genotype. The soybean genotypes were significant differences in the pod length, the pod width, and the flowering date. The interaction between genotype and nitrogen was found in the number of filled pods, the number of unfilled pods plant-1, the number of reproductive nodes plant-1, the number of total pods and the seed weight plant-1. The relationship in agronomic traits showed that significant positive correlations were found between number of filled pods with number of total pods, seed length with seed width and seed thickness, while the significant negative correlations were found between pod thickness with number of unfilled pods and maturity date with weight of 50 seeds.

Abstract. Ertuev MM, Semenov UA. 2019. Some behavior features of a female Panthera pardus tulliana during pregnancy and at first parturitions. Biodiversitas 20: 1333-1338. The present paper reports the results of the behavioral study of a female Panthera pardus tulliana during pregnancy, and before, during and after parturitions. The study was conducted in the Center of leopard recovery in the Caucasus, located in the mountain zone of the Sochi National Park, Russia. The behavior of Panthera was observed using surveillance cameras. During pregnancy, there is a significant shift in the level and ratio of hormones in the female's body. These internal changes can cause reorganization of the brain divisions which participate in the formation of the behavioral reaction, including female's behavior. We have shown that significant changes occur in the manifestation of individual behavior forms along with the increase of the pregnancy age and the intensification of fetal growth: a decrease in the level of anxiety and fear, and an increase in feed intake. At the end of pregnancy, the frequency of sleep and rest periods increases, but they are short-term. Before parturition, a female experiences painful sensations due to increase motor activity of the fetus, accumulation of toxins, possible hypoxia.

Abstract. Saputro TB, Purwani KI, Ermavitalini D, Saifullah AF. 2019. Isolation of high lipids content microalgae from Wonorejo river, Surabaya, Indonesia and its identification using rbcL marker gene. Biodiversitas 20: 1380-1388. Microalgae are unicellular organism which possesses various biologically active metabolites that used in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and bioenergy industries. One of the most important active metabolites found in microalgae is lipid which can be converted into biodiesel. The higher amount of lipid produced will increases the amount of biodiesel that can be obtained. Although, the production of active metabolites in microalgae has rather fluctuated as it is difficult to obtain the pure cultures of microalgae since it has a cryptic phenomenon. This problem can be solved through identification technique using molecular markers or DNA Barcoding. This research used rbcL gene as the molecular marker in species identification. rbcL gene encode ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RubisCo) in chloroplast genome. Furthermore, microalgae were isolated from 3 different stations of Wonorejo river estuary, Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. The isolated microalgae were then identified based on Freshwater algae: identification and use as bioindicators book. Eight isolates were successfully identified as Mycrocystis sp., Nostoc sp., Chlorella sp., Tabellaria, Synedra, Nitzschia, Navicula, and Closteriopsis. Out of eight, only 3 species that has a good potential to be developed as biodiesel sources i.e Chlorella sp., Synedra sp., and Navicula sp. that produce 21,20%, 20,30%, 27,20% of total lipids over their biomass. The genomic DNA from those three candidates were then isolated and used as a template to amplify rbcL gene. The obtained fragment of rbcL gene was sequenced and then submitted to the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). The result of BLAST used for alignment and phylogenetic tree construction. The result from BLAST shows the same results as the genus observed by microscopy observation. Overall, this research provides information about the genetic variety of microalgae in Wonorejo which has high potential to be further developed as biodiesel.

Ones of them are jengkol (Archidendron jiringa) by-product like peels and leaves have not been utilized optimally. The aims of this study were to explore the peel and leaves of two varieties of jengkol, i.e., jengkol gajah and jengkol padi, from Bengkulu Province and to assess their potentials as ruminant feed. Variables observed were phenotypic identification, nutrients content, and bioactive compounds. Phenotypic identification was completed using non-experimental examination through survey and observation methods to identify the phenotypic characters of jengkol in four districts in Bengkulu. The peel of jengkol padi had a blackish purple color and was thicker than that of jengkol gajah. The leaves of jengkol gajah was longer (10.2-15.5 cm), but jengkol padi had wider leaves (6-7.5 cm). The proportion of weight of jengkol peel (59.99%) is higher than seed (40.01%). Jengkol peel had high fiber content (33.07-35.28%) while the leaves were rich in protein and total digestible nutrient (TDN) (15.17-19.26% and 63.87-65.82%). In nutrient content comparison, the peel of jengkol padi was better (crude protein (CP:8.41%, ether extract (EE):0.79%, crude fiber (CF): 35.28% and total digestible nutrient (TDN): 52.81% but jengkol gajah had better nutrient in its leaves (CP:19.26%, EE:2.50%, CF:26.66% and TDN:51.56%).The saponin content (26.52%), total phenol (2.99%), and tannin (1.22%) in the peel were higher than those in the leaves, while the leaves had higher flavonoids content (2.0%) than the peels. Bioactive compounds in jengkol gajah were higher than those in jengkol padi. Based on this study, both jengkol gajah and jengkol padi are potential as ruminant feed in which the peel can be a source of fiber and saponins, while the leaves are potentially used as a source of protein, fiber and saponins.

Abstract. Alcala AA. 2019. Diversity of mosses in Mt. Makiling forest reserve, Philippines. Biodiversitas 20: 1729-1734. One of the essential parts of ecosystem diversity are the mosses. The study aimed to compare the diversity of mosses along altitudinal gradients in the Makiling and Sipit trails of the Mt. Makiling Forest Reserve (MMFR). Sampling plots were established every 100 m. asl elevation. Moss specimens were collected inside a 100m2 plot and re-examined under dissecting and compound microscope. A total of 77 moss species were identified in all plots established in which 43 and 48 species from Makiling and Sipit trail, respectively. Low species richness in lower elevation can be explained by higher degree of disturbances compared in higher elevation. Furthermore, species richness, diversity and abundance increase with increasing elevation. In contrast, higher temperature decreases species richness, abundance and diversity. In general, moss diversity is positively affected by increasing elevation in both trails. This is also supported by correlation analysis on moss species composition for the two sampling sites while sudden decreases in diversity in sampling plots located at 600 m. asl and 900 m. asl (Sipit Trail) and 800 m. asl and 1,000 m. asl (Makiling Trail) could simply be due to the presence of canopy gaps or disturbances in the site. Results implied that mosses used as indicators for impacts of climate change due to their sensitivity to environmental changes.

Abstract. Wasis B, Saharjo BH, Putra EI. 2019. Impacts of peat fire on soil flora and fauna, soil properties and environmental damage in Riau Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1770-1775. Land fires set by communities can result in the death of flora and fauna, damage the soil, and cause smoke disasters. In this study, we focused on the burnt community land in Riau Province, where we conducted a soil analysis through purposive sampling to highlight the effect of the fires on the environment. Our findings showed that fires caused a decrease of peat soil thickness of 10-15 cm, and resulted in 100% mortality of soil flora and fauna. We found a significant increase in the Ca and soil pH after a fire, but total microorganisms, total fungi, and soil respiration are found decreased. Our results strongly showed that the soil and environmental damage of burnt peat soil on community land exceeded the minimum criteria to be classified as "environmental damage" as defined by Indonesian Government Regulation No. 4/2001 (PP No 4/2001) for the parameters of bulk density, porosity, pH, organic C, N, total microorganisms, total fungi, and respiration.

Abstract. Dharmayanti N, Supriatna J, Abinawanto, Yasman. 2019. Isolation and partial characterization of Alginate from Sargassum polycystum of Banten, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1776-1785. The utilization of Sargassum polycystum as an alternative alginate source may reduce the dependence on alginate import as currently alginate demands in Indonesia are 100% supplied from overseas. The purpose of this study was to characterize alginate extracted from Sargassum polycystum obtained from three locations with different ecological characteristics. Isolation of alginate was conducted through partial hydrolysis to separate guluronic acid and mannuronic acid followed by freeze-drying and then the parameters were measured qualitatively and quantitatively using FTIR. The results showed that alginate extracted from Sargassum polycystum collected from Lima Island, Ujung Kulon and Binuangeun were 11.48%, 18.62%, and 5.75%, respectively with the viscosity were 35 cP, 62.50 cP, and 81.33 cP, respectively. The test result of partial hydrolysis of alginate showed that guluronic block (GG) in the alginate polymer of Lima Island, Ujung Kulon and Binuangeun were 67.60%, 59.00%, and 41.40%, respectively. These relate to the nature of the gel formed. The alginate from Lima Island tends to be more rigid and less flexible than that from Ujung Kulon and Binuangeun. The findings of this study suggest that there are differences in the concentration of the components of mannuronate and guluronate of Sargassum polycystum across different locations in Banten, Indonesia.
The Daughter of Hérodias: Salomé’s transcendent eroticism and her anticipatory dance of desire
Authors: Carter Gerrard
Published: June 2019

The theme of the Princess of Judea intensely permeated French literature during the second half of the nineteenth century and profoundly influenced fin de siècle writers and artists. Derived from biblical sources, the character of Salomé dances for the Tetrarch, Herod Antipas. In reward for her lascivious dance, she may ask whatever her heart desires. She demands the head of John the Baptist, the prophet imprisoned for having denounced the incestuous relationship of King Herod with his sister-inlaw Hérodias, queen and mother of Salomé. To elucidate Salomé’s infamous dance, this article first examines the dance as a richly protracted and spiritually vivid narrative as it appears in Gustave Flaubert’s Hérodias (1877) before analysing the symbolic signification and cryptic meaning of Oscar Wilde’s Dance of the Seven Veils from his 1891 radical tragedy Salomé, an iconic naming that is synonymous with the biblical myth today.
Dancing the possible: An extended review of Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers The Faith Project/The Door
Authors: LaMothe Kimerer L.
Published: June 2019

In March 2018, the Philadelphia-based Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers (KYL/D) performed The Faith Project/The Door, an hour-long concert dance that taps a long-flowing stream of the American modern dance tradition: its critical, constructive engagement with questions concerning religion. In this piece, artistic director Lin explores the ways in which contemporary modern dance can serve as a resource for promoting mutual understanding among persons who hold different religious beliefs. In both the choreographic process and premiere performances of The Faith Project/The Door, Lin draws upon his own CHI Awareness Practice to help his dance artists understand and enact their own as well as other people’s heart-opening commitment to religious belief and ritual – that is, their faith. This article describes the generative ideas, creative process, and final performances of The Faith Project/The Door to demonstrate how modern dance may help bring forth a world in which humans communicate respectfully across religious differences.
La judicialización de las decisiones públicas: el caso de la política de moratoria turística de Canarias
Authors: Simancas Cruz Moises
Published: June 2019

La judicialización de las políticas públicas implica, básicamente, una reacción judicial cuando los actores “perjudicados” de su diseño e implementación consideran que sus derechos no están efectivamente garantizados por el poder ejecutivo o legislativo. Su introducción en el ciclo de las políticas públicas hace que el poder judicial adquiera una importante capacidad de interferencia e incidencia significativa en su reformulación. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es analizar la judicialización de las políticas turísticas. Para ello, nos basamos en una investigación empírica realizada bajo la metodología de estudio de caso sobre la judicialización de la política de moratoria turística implementada en el destino Islas Canarias (España). Entre los resultados obtenidos destacamos que la judicialización supone la utilización de mecanismos legales por parte de los actores “perjudicados” de las decisiones judiciales, administrativas o legislativas (hard law) sobre la que suele sustentarse las políticas públicas turísticas. Asimismo, se produce cuando existen fallos en el proceso de formulación de tales políticas públicas. Del mismo modo, constituye un ejercicio de intrusión de los tribunales de justicia en un terreno reservado a los poderes ejecutivo y legislativo, con la consiguiente tensión entre política y justicia; ello supone un desplazamiento de protagonismo desde el poder legislativo al judicial, a la vez que una pérdida de centralidad de la autoridad legislativa, cuyo ejercicio y poder quedan limitados y regulados.
Aplicación de los procesos de cooperación como instrumento para la configuración de un destino turístico a escala regional y local
Authors: Martínez del Vas Ginesa , Capdepón Frías Margarita
Published: June 2019

La cooperación público-privada se ha cometido y ha sido continuamente referida como parte de las estrategias llevadas a cabo tanto por la política turística como de las propias del sector privado, adquiriendo un peso de enorme relevancia y dando lugar a alianzas de gran interés. Con estas premisas, se presenta un trabajo que pretende estudiar la evolución de esa colaboración público-privada a escala regional y local, así como las implicaciones que ha tenido a lo largo de las últimas décadas. Lo hace a través de una reflexión teórica que revisa las distintas fórmulas de cooperación desarrolladas, primero desde un punto de vista general y, posteriormente, con un análisis empírico de Cartagena como estudio de caso. Las consideraciones del trabajo ponen de manifiesto que la cooperación debe ser entendida y gestionada como un marco idóneo para el desarrollo de la actividad turística y como un instrumento indispensable.

Published: June 2019

Turismo y eventos no son un fenómeno reciente, lo que es novedoso es la importancia y la influencia de los eventos en la imagen del destino. Los eventos estimulan el desarrollo de los destinos, son instrumentos de construcción de imagen de un territorio, aumentan la visibilidad turística y complementan la promoción turística. En la oferta de eventos de tipo turístico, destacan los festivales de música y entre ellos el Festival Vodafone de Paredes de Coura (con más de 100.000 asistentes), que se celebra en la villa de Paredes de Coura en el destino turístico Porto y Norte (Portugal). La presente comunicación tiene como objetivo principal verificar si la imagen del festival afecta positivamente a la imagen del destino turístico. Para ello, se ha diseñado una encuesta y se ha recogido de modo aleatorio a 395 asistentes al festival, en la que se valoran un total de 24 ítems sobre la imagen del festival y del destino y se analiza el perfil del festivalero.
El paisaje en la conformación de destinos turísticos en el litoral mexicano. Estudio de caso Cancún
Authors: Arias González María del Consuelo
Published: June 2019

Como parte de una disertación doctoral, y mediante una investigación teórica, descriptiva y observacional, a través de los métodos descriptivo correlacional y teórico experimental, se reconoce el papel protagónico del paisaje, y sus recursos, en la creación y consolidación de destinos turísticos litorales, particularmente para el caso de Cancún, y se plantea la necesidad de su conservación para asegurar su continuidad y la del turismo en el destino. Aprovechando la belleza del paisaje, sus playas vírgenes, sus áreas selváticas y la baja densidad de población, el territorio de Cancún fue elegido para crear un sitio turístico de alta densidad. La construcción de la infraestructura turística modificó el paisaje que le dio origen, dando paso a uno nuevo, antropizado, pero con una fisonomía particular que lo ha mantenido como uno de los predilectos para el turismo internacional. Sin embargo, es importante analizar cómo el desarrollo de un destino puede llevar a la transformación del territorio en periodos tan cortos y como a pesar de seguir conservando su valor para el turismo, en el corto o en el mediano plazo, las transformaciones del paisaje pueden ser tan profundas que impidan tener paisajes de calidad o excepcionalidad para ser ofertados por el turismo.

Dos europeos en Río de Janeiro: Stefan Zweig y Paulo Rónai. Impresiones registradas en Brasil, País do Futuro y en la revista Travel in Brazil
Authors: Contatori Romano Luís Antônio
Published: June 2019

El objetivo de este artículo es comparar las impresiones sobre Río de Janeiro que aparecen en los textos de escritores, refugiados en Brasil durante el Estado Novo de Vargas en el contexto de las persecuciones nazis en Europa Central. De Stefan Zweig, seleccionamos fragmentos del libro Brasil, um País do Futuro, de 1941, que muestran impresiones de su llegada en barco a Río de Janeiro en 1936, la idealización del país como “Paraíso reencontrado” y su flânerie, su callejeo, por la ciudad, observada desde perspectivas diversas. De Paulo Rónai, extraemos fragmentos del texto "La Impresión de un Europeo de Río en 1941", de la revista Travel in Brazil, que revelan la asociación de Río con una imagen de "Tierra Prometida" y el transitar del autor entre el trabajo de duelo y la homesickness, la "nostalgia de casa".
eIDŐ, avagy a szabadidő behálózása
Authors: Fekete Marianna
Published: June 2019

Az információs társadalom kitermeli az idő egy sajátosan új formáját, az eIdőt, mely minden korábbinál jobban felpörgeti a mindennapi élet ritmusát és visszafordíthatatlan változásokat hoz a gazdaság és a társadalom valamennyi szegmensébe. A technológia fejlődése nem hagyja érintetlenül a szabadidőt sem, hatással van a mennyiségére, a felhasználási lehetőségek bővülésére és polarizálódására is. Az eIdő következményeként az emberi életciklusok határai elmosódnak, az életkor flexibilissé válik és megváltozik az ezzel kapcsolatos közgondolkodás is. Ebben az új társadalmi formációban klasszifikációs markerré válik az ember ideje, azaz az életkor, a generációhoz tartozás. A kötet célja, hogy az utolsó két időmérleg vizsgálat eredményein keresztül bemutassa az IKT eszközök életmódra kifejtett hatását, a kultúrafogyasztás jellemző mintázatai a digitalizált - mediatizált szabadidős környezetben, a szabadidős tevékenységek generációs jegyeit, valamint kísérletet tegyen egy magyarázó modell megfogalmazására, mely révén feltárható az eIdő felhasználásának néhány jellemző vonása.
