Desentralisasi Asimetris dalam Konteks Negara Kesatuan
Authors: Susanto Sri Nur Hari 
Published: September 2020

Abstract The correlation between decentralization and deconcentration on the concept of a unitary state and a federal state is not dichotomous but rather forms a matrix or continuum relationship. Within the continuum, it is possible to shift the pendulum swing both centripetally (concentrating or cone in a higher power) or centrifugal (spreading or dispersing into the power of smaller government units). In the practice of relations between the center and the regions in various countries, the pendulum swing of unitarism (unity) and federalism move in opposite directions. Keywords: Decentralization, Asymmetric, Republic of Indonesia Abstrak Korelasi hubungan desentralisasi dan dekonsentrasi antara konsep negara kesatuan dengan negara federal tidak bersifat dikhotomis yang saling berlawanan, melainkan membentuk sebuah hubungan matriks atau kontinum. Dalam rentang garis kontinum tadi, sangat dimungkinkan terjadinya pergeseran pendulum baik yang bersifat sentripetal (memusat atau mengerucut dalam kekuasaan yang lebih tinggi) maupun yang sentrifugal (menyebar atau pemencaran kedalam kekuasaan unit pemerintahan yang lebih kecil). Dalam praktik hubungan antara pusat dan daerah di berbagai negara, pendulum unitarisme (kesatuan) dan federalisme saling bergerak ke arah yang berlawanan. Kata Kunci: Desentralisasi, Asimetris, Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia.

Published: September 2020

AbstractElectroencephalography (EEG) is a complex bioelectrical signal. Analysis of which can provide researchers with useful physiological information. In order to recognize and classify EEG signals, a pattern recognition method for optimizing the support vector machine (SVM) by using improved squirrel search algorithm (ISSA) is proposed. The EEG signal is preprocessed, with its time domain features being extracted and directed to the SVM as feature vectors for classification and identification. In this paper, the method of good point set is used to initialize the population position, chaos and reverse learning mechanism are introduced into the algorithm. The performance test of the improved squirrel algorithm (ISSA) is carried out by using the benchmark function. As can be seen from the statistical analysis of the results, the exploration ability and convergence speed of the algorithm are improved. This is then used to optimize SVM parameters. ISSA-SVM model is established and built for classification of EEG signals, compared with other common SVM parameter optimization models. For data sets, the average classification accuracy of this method is 85.9%. This result is an improvement of 2–5% over the comparison method.

Published: September 2020

AbstractThis study evaluated gamma radiation-enhanced sulfamethazine (SMT) degradation, which belongs to the heterocyclic sulfonamides, in different conditions in aqueous solution. The results showed that gamma irradiation could increase the SMT removal in aqueous solution, and the SMT degradation kinetic follow the modified pseudo-first-order kinetic. The degradation rate was nearly 95% at the absorbed dose of 4 kGy. The removal of total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) could be also induced. When the radiation dose was 5 kGy, the removal rates were only about 6.8% and 10.5% for TOC and TN, respectively. Some ions including HCOO−, CH3COO− and SO42− released during SMT degradation were studied. The biodegradability and toxicity of intermediate products of the SMT degradation were also proposed in this experiment. The biodegradability of the SMT can be improved by the intermediate products of SMT degradation at the radiation dose of 1, 2 and 5 kGy. Gamma radiation could be used as a pretreatment technology before the biodegradation process of pharmaceutical waste water.
Structure and some physicochemical and functional properties of water treated under ammonia with low-temperature low-pressure glow plasma of low frequency

Published: September 2020

AbstractDeionized, tap and two kinds of commercially available mineralized water, after supplementation with ammonia, were treated with low-pressure, low-temperature glow plasma (GP) of low frequency. Treating hard water with ammonia provided the removal of permanent and temporary water hardness already at room temperature. On such treatment, mineralized water supplemented with ammonia was partly demineralized. Precipitated rhombohedral deposit from hard water did not turn into scale even when maintained in suspension for 3 days at around 90°C. In such manner, the use of other chemicals for prevention from the scale formation and/or for the scale removal is entirely dispensable. The rate and yield of precipitation depended on the concentration of admixed ammonia and the GP treatment time. Ammonia served as a ligand of calcium, magnesium and ferric central atoms of corresponding salts constituting the hardness. Moreover, ammonia constituting the atmosphere of the treatment was arrested inside aqueous clathrates. So, stabilized ammonia solutions could potentially be utilized as an environmental-friendly nitrogen fertilizer. The precipitate could also be utilized for the same purpose.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Oxidative stress is a causative factor in the pathophysiology of numerous diseases, such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, cancer, and neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. Therapeutic antioxidants are promising candidates for preventing and treating conditions in which oxidative stress is a contributing factor. In this study, we report the design, synthesis and antioxidant activity of six compounds containing the 2-methoxyphenol moiety core structure. The synthesized derivatives were characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), and elemental analysis spectroscopy. The antioxidant properties of the compounds were evaluated using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH), 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay. New phenolic acid-derived compounds with antioxidant activity were identified.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Deoxyribozymes (DNAzymes) are single-stranded DNA molecules that catalyze a broad range of chemical reactions. The 10–23 DNAzyme catalyzes the cleavage of RNA strands and can be designed to cleave essentially any target RNA, which makes it particularly interesting for therapeutic and biosensing applications. The activity of this DNAzyme in vitro is considerably higher than in cells, which was suggested to be a result of the low intracellular concentration of bioavailable divalent cations. While the interaction of the 10–23 DNAzyme with divalent metal ions was studied extensively, the influence of monovalent metal ions on its activity remains poorly understood. Here, we characterize the influence of monovalent and divalent cations on the 10–23 DNAzyme utilizing functional and biophysical techniques. Our results show that Na+ and K+ affect the binding of divalent metal ions to the DNAzyme:RNA complex and considerably modulate the reaction rates of RNA cleavage. We observe an opposite effect of high levels of Na+ and K+ concentrations on Mg2+- and Mn2+-induced reactions, revealing a different interplay of these metals in catalysis. Based on these findings, we propose a model for the interaction of metal ions with the DNAzyme:RNA complex.
When is it OK to Joke? Adding humor to fear-based colonoscopy screening messages may increase compliance
Authors: Carcioppolo Nick , Occa Aurora , Chudnovskaya Elena V. 
Published: September 2020

AbstractLarge scale campaigns frequently use humor to increase compliance with colonoscopy screening recommendations. Problematically, we know little about how humor functions to influence screening. This study seeks to understand whether and how messages framed using humor appeals function differently from those using fear appeals to increase colonoscopy intentions. An online experiment (N = 186) was conducted comparing colonoscopy screening messages framed with a fear appeal and mixed humor/fear appeal. The addition of humor was more effective among those with high frequency of cancer worry, whereas the fear appeal resulted in significantly higher response efficacy, which was in turn associated with increased colonoscopy intentions. These results begin to describe situations in which intervention messages framed with a mixed humor/fear appeal may be more or less effective than interventions framed with fear appeals alone. Practical and theoretical implications for persuasive message design are discussed.
Monadic pseudo BE-algebras
Authors: Ciungu Lavinia Corina 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
In this paper we define the monadic pseudo BE-algebras and investigate their properties. We prove that the existential and universal quantifiers of a monadic pseudo BE-algebra form a residuated pair. Special properties are studied for the particular case of monadic bounded commutative pseudo BE-algebras. Monadic classes of pseudo BE-algebras are investigated and it is proved that the quantifiers on bounded commutative pseudo BE-algebras are also quantifiers on the corresponding pseudo MV-algebras. The monadic deductive systems and monadic congruences of monadic pseudo BE-algebras are defined and their properties are studied. It is proved that, in the case of a monadic distributive commutative pseudo BE-algebra there is a one-to-one correspondence between monadic congruences and monadic deductive systems, and the monadic quotient pseudo BE-algebra algebra is also defined.

Integration with respect to deficient topological measures on locally compact spaces
Authors: Butler Svetlana V. 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Topological measures and deficient topological measures generalize Borel measures and correspond to certain non-linear functionals. We study integration with respect to deficient topological measures on locally compact spaces. Such an integration over sets yields a new deficient topological measure if we integrate a nonnegative continuous vanishing at infinity function; and it produces a signed deficient topological measure if we integrate a continuous function on a compact space. We present many properties of these resulting deficient topological measures and of signed deficient topological measures. In particular, they are absolutely continuous with respect to the original deficient topological measure, and their corresponding non-linear functionals are Lipschitz continuous. Deficient topological measures obtained by integration over sets can also be obtained from non-linear functionals. We show that for a deficient topological measure μ that assumes finitely many values, there is a function f such that

Cell Assemblies in the Cortico-Hippocampal-Reuniens Network during Slow Oscillations

Published: September 2020

The nucleus reuniens (NR) is an important anatomic and functional relay between the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the hippocampus (HPC). Whether the NR controls neuronal assemblies, a hallmark of information exchange between the HPC and mPFC for memory transfer/consolidation, is not known. Using simultaneous local field potential and unit recordings in NR, HPC, and mPFC in male rats during slow oscillations under anesthesia, we identified a reliable sequential activation of NR neurons at the beginning of UP states, which preceded mPFC ones. NR sequences were spatially organized, from dorsal to ventral NR. Chemical inactivation of the NR disrupted mPFC sequences at the onset of UP states as well as HPC sequences present during sharp-wave ripples. We conclude that the NR contributes to the coordination and stabilization of mPFC and HPC neuronal sequences during slow oscillations, possibly via the early activation of its own sequences.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTNeuronal assemblies are believed to be instrumental to code/encode/store information. They can be recorded in different brain regions, suggesting that widely distributed networks of networks are involved in such information processing. The medial prefrontal cortex, the hippocampus, and the thalamic nucleus reuniens constitute a typical example of a complex network involved in memory consolidation. In this study, we show that spatially organized cells assemblies are recruited in the nucleus reuniens at the UP state onset during slow oscillations. Nucleus reuniens activity appears to be necessary to the stability of medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampal cell assembly formation during slow oscillations. This result further highlights the role of the nucleus reuniens as a functional hub for exchanging and processing memories.

The ability of animals to retrieve memories stored in response to the environment is essential for behavioral adaptation. Norepinephrine (NE)-containing neurons in the brain play a key role in the modulation of synaptic plasticity underlying various processes of memory formation. However, the role of the central NE system in memory retrieval remains unclear. Here, we developed a novel chemogenetic activation strategy exploiting insect olfactory ionotropic receptors (IRs), termed “IR-mediated neuronal activation,” and used it for selective stimulation of NE neurons in the locus coeruleus (LC).Drosophila melanogasterIR84a and IR8a subunits were expressed in LC NE neurons in transgenic mice. Application of phenylacetic acid (a specific ligand for the IR84a/IR8a complex) at appropriate doses induced excitatory responses of NE neurons expressing the receptors in both slice preparations andin vivoelectrophysiological conditions, resulting in a marked increase of NE release in the LC nerve terminal regions (male and female). Ligand-induced activation of LC NE neurons enhanced the retrieval process of conditioned taste aversion without affecting taste sensitivity, general arousal state, and locomotor activity. This enhancing effect on taste memory retrieval was mediated, in part, through α1- and β-adrenergic receptors in the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BLA; male). Pharmacological inhibition of LC NE neurons confirmed the facilitative role of these neurons in memory retrieval via adrenergic receptors in the BLA (male). Our findings indicate that the LC NE system, through projections to the BLA, controls the retrieval process of taste associative memory.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTNorepinephrine (NE)-containing neurons in the brain play a key role in the modulation of synaptic plasticity underlying various processes of memory formation, but the role of the NE system in memory retrieval remains unclear.

TARPs Modulate Receptor-Mediated Paired-Pulse Depression and Recovery from Desensitization
Authors: Devi Suma Priya Sudarsana , Cheng Yiru , Tomita Susumu , Howe James R. , Zhang Wei 
Published: September 2020

Transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins (TARPs) are auxiliary AMPA receptor subunits that play a key role in receptor trafficking and in modulating receptor gating. The ability of TARPs to slow both deactivation and desensitization is isoform specific. However, TARP isoform-specific modulation of receptor properties remains uncharacterized. Here, we compare the isoform-specific effects of γ–2, γ–3, γ–4, and γ–8 TARPs on recovery from desensitization and responses to pairs of brief applications of glutamate. All four isoforms were able to reduce receptor-mediated paired-pulse depression and significantly speed recovery from desensitization in an isoform-specific manner. In the presence of TARPs, recovery time courses were observed to contain two components, fast and slow. The proportion of fast and slow components was determined by the TARP isoform. The time constant of recovery was also altered by the duration of glutamate application. When studies with TARP chimeras were performed, TARP extracellular loops were found to play a vital role in TARP modulation of recovery. Thus, isoform-specific differences in TARP modulation of recovery from desensitization influence receptor responses to repeated brief applications of glutamate, and these differences may impact frequency-dependent synaptic signaling in the mammalian central nervous system.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTAMPA receptors are major determinants of excitatory synaptic strength. The channel kinetics of AMPA receptors contribute to the kinetics of synaptic transmission. Transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins (TARPs) auxiliary subunits can modulate the decay kinetics of AMPA receptors. However, whether TARP isoforms specifically modulate receptor recovery is unclear. Here, we investigated the recovery kinetics of AMPA receptors by expressing various TARP isoforms and chimeras. We observed that the TARP isoforms and duration of glutamate application uniquely modulate time constants and the proportion of fast and slow components through a previously unidentified TARP domain. Given the impact of recovery kinetics on receptor responses to repetitive stimulation such as synaptic transmission, this work will be of great interest in the field of excitatory synaptic transmission research.
