Authors: Singh Ajay K. , Sharma Vivek , Senger Krishna Pratap Singh , Singh Anikta , Prateek .
Published: February 2017

Background: This study was done from January 2014 to July 2016, in 128 patients of knee joint osteoarthritis. We assessed epidemiology of osteoarthritis of knee and various MRI findings.Methods: In all the 128 patients radiographs (anteroposterior) were taken in extended and weight bearing position. Staging of osteoarthritis of knee was done using Kellgren-Lawrence scoring system and then we performed magnetic resonance imaging of the knee. All these patients were then interviewed about their clinical symptoms and osteoarthritis of knee was graded by WOMAC scale.Results: Osteoarthritis has a positive correlation with age, female sex and BMI. However occupation of the patient was not associated with any statistical significance. No association was seen between cartilage defects, bone marrow edema, sub chondral cysts, subchondral sclerosis, Baker’s cysts subluxations of tibia and synovitis with clinical features. The patellofemoral compartment of knee joint mostly contributed to the clinical symptoms of the patients in our study population though not being statistically significant (P >0. 05). In tibiofemoral compartment a statistically significant correlation was seen between most of the MRI findings and KL score, however in patellofemoral compartment this correlation is poor.Conclusions: Clinical findings and plain radiographs are still important in evaluating osteoarthritis of knee, MRI plays an important role in imaging the bony and soft tissues of knee as a whole organ, thereby helping in better management and outcome of the disease. Also MRI plays an important role in depicting early changes of osteoarthtis.

Authors: Jena Sushanta Kumar , Mohanty Minakshi , Patra Umesh Chandra , Behera Sanatan
Published: February 2017

Background: Extra-hepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) due to portal vein thrombosis is an important cause of portal hypertension in several region including India. The cause of thrombosis in these patients remains unclear. Objective of the study was to study the demographic features, etiology, clinical, laboratory findings with special reference to thrombophilic factors like protein C, protein S and antithrombin III deficiency in children with EHPVO.Methods: The prospective analysis of 62 patients of EHPVO (<14 years of age) was done in the Department of Hepatology, SCB medical College, Cuttack. After detailed history, clinical examination, Ultrasound abdomen /color Doppler and Upper GI endoscopy, the subjects were analyzed for any deficiency of thrombophilic factors like protein C, protein S and antithrombin III.Results: A total of 62 patients (37 Male, 25 Female) with mean age of 8.3+3.1 years were studied. Growth retardation was present in the form of wasting (alone) 20.9%, stunting (alone) 25.8% and both wasting and stunting was found in 9.8% cases. History of neonatal, umbilical sepsis and umbilical vein catheterization was found in 15.9% and 10.2% of cases respectively. Haemorrhage from oesophageal varices was prevalent symptoms in 85.9% patients. Splenomegaly was found in 91.9% patients and ascites in 9.4% patients. 47 patients studied for protein C, S and antithromibin III. 14 patients were found to have thrombophilia: protein C deficiency in 9, protein S deficiency in 8, Antithrombin III deficiency in 6.Conclusions: The etiology of EHPVO in the majority of patients remain still unclear. It is commonly associated impaired somatic growth. The risk of EHPVO increases in the presence of thrombophilia, resulting from deficiency of naturally occurring anticoagulant proteins like Protein C, Protein S and Antithrombin III.

Published: February 2017

Correlation between ABO/Rhesus blood group, Sickle cell disease (SCD) and Diabetes mellitus (DM) was investigated in Okwe, Asaba, Delta State and Ihiala, Anambra State,Nigeria. 100 proven cases of sickle cell patients (HBSS) from the sickle cell clinic in the General Hospital, Okwe, Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria, were studied. 200 normal individuals, 100 with genotype AA and 100 with genotype AS were taken as control for comparison from Okwe town. Furthermore, 50 proven cases of adults diabetic mellitus type2 from the diabetic clinic of our Lady’s of Lourdes Hospital Ihiala, Anambra State were studied. Samples of 50 normal adult individuals were taken from the Hospital town as control for comparison. In the ABO/Rhesus blood group and SCD, the result showed that there was a correlation between ABO/Rhesus blood group and sickle cell disease (p<0.05). It was also observed that blood group O has the highest frequency distribution among the sicklers (63%), followed by blood group B (20%), then blood group A (17%), the least was AB blood group with O% distribution. For Rhesus blood system, the prevalence of Rh positive and Rh negative was studied against the hemoglobin genotypes. Rh positive was 96%for SS, 74% for AA, and 92% for AS. Rh negative was 4% for SS, 26%for AA and 8% for AS. This showed that Rh positive has the highest prevalence in SS while Rh negative has the lowest prevalence in SS,[P ABO\Rhesus blood group and DM, there was no correlation between ABO/Rhesus blood group and adult type 2 diabetes mellitus (P>0.05). It was also observed that blood group O (78%) was most commonly distributed in diabetes mellitus type2, followed by A (22%), blood group 0 (0%) and AB (0%) did not show any incidence of type2 diabetes mellitus. When Rh positive and Rh negative where matched against DM and the control, Rh positive was 94% in DM and 88% in control (P>0.05). Rh negative was 6% in DM and 12% in control, (P>0.05). It was observed that Rh positive was more in DM than the control, and Rh negative was more in control than in DM patient. Therefore, correlation between ABO/Rhesus blood group and diabetes mellitus type 2 was not proven. It is accordingly, concluded that ABO/Rhesus blood group has positive correlation with sickle cell disease and fell short of such correlation with diabetes mellitus.

Published: February 2017

Kidney stones are responsible for about 3.66 million medical consults each year with treatment costing about $2 billion annually in medical bills. The main objective of the study was to analyze the quality of life of patients by existing renal calculi. The study would be focused on providing better therapeutic, cost-effective and safe treatment in renal calculi patients. The study was conducted in a urology department of Tulasi Multi-Super Speciality Hospitals (300 bedded hospital), ECIL ‘X’ Road, Hyderabad, India. This study was conducted on 60 patients to study the quality of life of patients with renal calculi for the duration of 6 months. We collected information from patients from 10-80 years of age. For our logical and rational observational study, divided the patient in different age groups, male-female, alcoholic-nonalcoholic, working-nonworking, vegetarian-nonvegetarian, married-unmarried etc. Through our observational study we can reach to a logical conclusion that smoking, alcoholism etc. adversely affects the quality of life of patients of renal calculi. Moreover, vegetarian diet may also indirectly help to improve the quality life of the patients with renal caliculi. Finally, it was found that, if the patient leads hygienic and disciplined life quality of such patients will be somewhat better. If situation permits and open surgery can be avoided by using medicines, modern approach of therapy or modern better surgery, quality of life of patients with renal caliculi will be somewhat better.

CAN NORWAY LEARN FROM CHINA?
Authors: Tjeldvoll Arild
Published: February 2017

Two particular experiences of my life as an international education researcher are behind this travelogue. During my seventy years’ participation in and observations of Norwegian education, I have seen a sad decline of school quality. It started when Norway switched to a US American curriculum tradition after WWII. The positive experience is my familiarizing with the education culture of East Asia over the last twenty-five years. In this culture, there is an enormous respect for learning, knowledge and the teacher. Willingness to learn and respect for knowledge is now the super soft power of economically successful East Asian countries.
My two opposite experiences resulted in the following question: What can Norway learn from China in terms of school quality?
Internationally, we see parents and grandparents who sacrifice everything to ensure their loved ones this best possible life insurance in a challenging global world - solid basic education making it easier to continue to learn new knowledge and skills when the environment is changing.
I start the book by explaining the Chinese setting. Following, I present the meaning of ‘school quality’. In the China section, I first present Hong Kong’s education as a successful synthesis of English, American and Chinese/Confucian ideas about effective learning. The rest of this section is a historical sketch of education development in China, as well a series of individual pictures illustrating Chinese education culture in practice. In the second section – on Norway – I give a historical sketch of educational decline from its golden age, right after WW II, until present. In the last (third) section, I sum up what Norway (and many other countries) can learn not only from China, but also from Finland and England. In the final chapter, I envisage a rather radical market-oriented model for how Norway could regain a learning culture needed to provide quality education for all its citizens.

Published: February 2017

There have been profiling the level of understanding of physics concept (dynamics and kinematics) of students' (SMA and MA) in madiun region. Profiling is done by using the Force Concept Inventory test. Samples were taken from 120 students from SMA and MA  in Madiun and Ponorogo. The results indicate that FCI test number 23 and number 16 is the most answered incorrectly by the students. Problem number 23 related to kinematics and test number 16 on Newton's third law. Only 24.16% of students answered correctly test numbers 23 and 25% of students answered correctly test number 16. Students SMA and MA do not understand the concept well and can’t represent concept in another shapes. These results provide an indication that the learning concept needs to be implementation at SMA and MA.
Polarization anisotropy in light propagation inside opal-based photonic crystals
Authors: Muldarisnur M , Marlow F
Published: February 2017

Photonic crystals is expected to be the backbone of future optical integrated circuits. To realize this goal, light propagation and interaction with matters must be understood and controlled. In this work, we investigate the propagation of light inside opal-based photonic crystals along certain paths at the edge of its Brillouin Zone. Opal films made of polystyrene particles were prepared using self-assembly approach, the capillary deposition method. The structures and the optical properties of the resulting opals were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and polarization-resolved spectroscopy, respectively. The opal films have a face-centered cubic structure consisting of two domains showing preferential orientations. Domains in the form of ABC and ACB-type fcc crystals are oriented along the growth direction of the opal films. Light with frequencies near optical band gap shows a strong anisotropy. Light propagation inside opals depends on the polarization of the incident light. The intensity and the width of the extinction peaks for p-polarized incident light differ significantly from those of s-polarized light. The anisotropy disappears at frequencies above the optical band gap. The anisotropic light propagation is related to the strong anisotropy in equifrequency surface of band structure around the band gap. The shift of the extinction peaks and the variation of intensity of the extinction peaks will be discussed using the combination of kinematic and simplified dynamical diffraction theory.
A model of nonlinear DNA-protein interaction system with Cornell potential and its stability
Authors: Syahroni Edy , Suparmi A , Cari C , Anwar Fuad
Published: February 2017

The purpose of this study was to determine the model of a interaction system between the DNA with protein. The interaction system consisted of a molecule of protein bound with a single chain of DNA. The interaction between DNA chain, especially adenine and thymine, and DNA-protein bound to glutamine and adenine. The forms of these bonds are adapted from the hydrogen bonds. The Cornell potential was used to describe both of the interactions. We proposed the Hamiltonian equation to describe the general model of interaction. Interaction system is divided into three parts. The interaction model is satisfied when a protein molecule triggers pulses on a DNA chain. An initial shift in position of protein xm should trigger the shift in position of DNA ym, or alter the state. However, an initial shift in DNA, yn, should not alter the state of a rest protein (i.e. xm = 0), otherwise, the protein would not steadily bind. We also investigated the stability of the model from the DNA-protein interaction with Lyapunov function. The stability of system can be determined when we obtained the equilibrium point.

THE ROLE OF MASS MEDIA IN ERADICATING CORRUPTION
Authors: EBANG YOHANES BERCHEMANS
Published: February 2017

So far, Indonesia has never been able to escape from the entanglement of corruption. This fact requires all elements of the nation to participate actively in combating this social scourge. Given that Indonesia is a democratic state, where the people are the holder of supreme power, the people have an important role in uncovering and combating the problem of corruption. One of the role and participation of the public is through the media. The reason is because the mass media can reach all levels of society. The mass media is a strategic tool that is able to sniff out and dismantle the rotten practices that start emerging or still veiled. The fact proves that in various places in Indonesia and abroad, corruption is always associated with the mass media.

In this study, the examination is focused on the factors that affect the treasurers to commit fraud, especially in the financial management and financial transaction area, based on the fraud triangle theory. This study is based on the interviews with 87 treasurers and former treasures period 2008-2012. The result of this study indicates that pressure and rationalization have a positive relationship with fraud. The result provides partial support for the fraud triangle theory in explaining the phenomenon of fraud. The role of BPK is as a strategic government auditor in preventing and combating corruption in regional government.
Regional climate model and model output statistics method uncertainties and the effect of temperature and precipitation on future river discharges in Scandinavia
Authors: Räty Olle , Virta Hanna , Bosshard Thomas , Donnelly Chantal
Published: February 2017

We analyze the importance of regional climate models (GCM-RCMs) and model output statistics (MOS) methods as uncertainty sources for future changes of various hydrological variables in Scandinavia. The Hydrological Predictions for the Environment (HYPE) model, driven with daily mean temperature and precipitation, is used to simulate changes in river discharges and other hydrological components from the present-day climate (1980–2009) to mid-21st century conditions (2041–2070). The results show that GCM-RCM differences explain most of the spread in the simulated changes in the annual mean cycle of river discharge. At seasonal level, MOS-method uncertainties are most important during the winter and spring, which is likely explained by the sensitivity of snow processes to the representation of daily variability in the MOS methods. To gain physical insights into the physical processes, the relative importance of changes to temperature or precipitation on changes in surface hydrology are also assessed. In most regions of Scandinavia, changes to temperature explain most of the changes in river discharge volumes and spring peaks. Precipitation changes only have a secondary role in modulating these changes. Again, these results are mostly explained by changes in snow processes in winter and increases in evapotranspiration in summer.

Authors: Ceylan Ozgur , Turasay Bulent
Published: February 2017

Antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of sage (Salvia officinalis), thyme (Thymus vulgaris), peppermint (Mentha x piperita) and lemon (Citrus limonum) essential oils (EOs), supplied as commercial preparations, were investigated on Legionella pneumophila. Results showed that all EOs had antibacterial activity. Lemon oil demonstrated the best activity, with minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration values detected as 0.83–1.25 and 1.25–3.75 μL/mL, respectively. Antibiofilm activities of EOs were studied in two ways: (1) inhibition of biofilm formation at subMIC concentrations; and (2) eradication of preformed biofilms at MIC and subMIC concentrations. The highest biofilm inhibition values were 63.3, 45.5, 35.6 and 23%, and the highest eradication values were 34.2, 16.7, 39.4 and 31.9% for lemon oil, peppermint oil, sage oil and thyme oil, respectively. Lemon oil was detected to have the highest antibiofilm activity, as with antibacterial activity. The minimum antibiofilm activity was found for thyme oil. For all the EOs, the inhibition of biofilm formation was higher than the eradication of preformed biofilms at the same concentrations. The results suggested that EOs of lemon, peppermint, sage and thyme had the potential for being used in the removal of L. pneumophila from potable water systems, due to their antibacterial and antibiofilm activities.

The impact of methanol (CH3OH) as a source of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) in denitrification at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) has never been quantified. CH3OH is the most commonly purchased carbon source for sewage denitrification. Until recently, greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting protocols consistently ignored the liberation of anthropogenic CO2 attributable to CH3OH. This oversight can likely be attributed to a simplifying notion that CO2 produced through activated-sludge-process respiration is biogenic because most raw-sewage carbon is un-sequestered prior to entering a WWTP. Instead, a biogenic categorization cannot apply to fossil-fuel-derived carbon sources like CH3OH. This paper provides a summary of how CH3OH use at DC Water's Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant (AWTP; Washington, DC, USA) amounts to 60 to 85% of the AWTP's Scope-1 emissions. The United States Environmental Protection Agency and Water Environment Federation databases suggest that CH3OH CO2 likely represents one quarter of all Scope-1 GHG emissions attributable to sewage treatment in the USA. Finally, many alternatives to CH3OH use exist and are discussed.

Published: February 2017

The support from the American exchange and research programs and funds actually became the main base for survival to many research areas in our country in this period, especially in the Humanities. In the article the author points out positive aspects of the activities of U.S. exchange programs and foundations that contributed to the survival and, in some cases, the establishment and development of new research directions, especially in the Humanities and public sphere. In addition, thanks to the American programs, there was an exchange of experiences and ideas between representatives of the research communities of Russia and the USA. However, despite overall positive effect from the activities of U.S. programs and funds in our country in the 1990s, there were also negative factors. The main of them was the so-called «brain drain» as a result of which, many Russian researchers, through exchange programs, once abroad, preferred to remain and continue their research activities outside of Russia.
