Abstract
Objective: The systemic inflammatory and immune response directly influence the prognosis of patient with sepsis. By detecting the pro-/anti-inflammatory and immune biomarkers, we aim to understand the early systemic inflammatory response and immune status, and explore the potential biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment for pediatric patients with sepsis. Methods: 62 pediatric patients with sepsis and 48 pediatric patients without sepsis, between 9 months and 13 years old were included. The HLA-DR expression on CD14+ monocytes, the proportion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg cells and IL-27+ CD4+ cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The Foxp3, CTLA-4, GITR, IL-10, L-17A, IL-17F and IL-27 mRNA levels in CD4+cells were evaluated by Real-time PCR. And Cytokines IL-4, IFN-γ and TGF-β were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Serum IFN-γ，transcription levels of IL-17A and IL-17F were higher than that in patients without sepsis (p<0.01), while TGF-β was lower (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in IL-4 level between pediatric patients with and without sepsis. The HLA-DR expression was significantly lower than that in pediatric patients without sepsis (p<0.01), but the expression rate of HLA-DR in two groups are greater than 30%. Compared to pediatric patients without sepsis, there was a lower proportion of CD4+CD25+Treg cells in pediatric patients with sepsis (p<0.01), but with a higher of Foxp3, CTLA-4 and IL-10 mRNA (p<0.01). The IL-27 mRNA and the proportion of CD4+ IL-27+ cells were significantly raised in pediatric patients with sepsis than that in pediatric patients without sepsis (p<0.01). Conclusion: At early stage of sepsis, the pro-inflammatory factors co-exist with anti-inflammatory factors, but the pro-inflammatory response dominates. The IL-27 may exert bi-directional regulation in the mixed immune responses, and can be detected as a potential biomarker for determination of immune status for pediatric patients with sepsis. Also, although the immune function influenced at early stage in pediatric patients with sepsis, the expression rate of HLA-DR was greater than 30%, so treatments of immune regulation could not be necessary at early stage for pediatric patients with sepsis.

Authors: Berezenko V.S. , Tsariova O.V. 
Published: December 2020

Мета — вивчити особливості перебігу хронічного вірусного гепатиту В (ХГВ) у дітей залежно від тривалості хвороби, штаму вірусу та вірусного навантаження. Обстежена 61 дитина з ХГВ віком 3–18 років. Усім хворим було проведено клінічне, лабораторне та інструментальне обстеження. Клінічний перебіг ХГВ оцінювався за вираженістю клінічних і лабораторних синдромів протягом усього періоду захворювання. Методом полімеразної ланцюгової реакції та за допомогою імуноферментного аналізу визначено штам вірусу гепатиту В (HBV) і вірусне навантаження. Фіброз печінки оцінювався за індексом APRI. ХГВ у третини дітей характеризувався неактивним перебігом (імунотолерантна фаза), у половини хворих мала місце низька та мінімальна активність запального процесу в печінці з мінімальною клінічною симптоматикою. У 55,9 % дітей встановлено горизонтальний шлях передачі вірусу. Встановлено, що у хворих із високим вірусним навантаженням і диким штамом HBV ХГВ вірогідно частіше має активний перебіг. Зі зростанням тривалості ХГВ вірусне навантаження зменшується. Встановлено прямий зв’язок середньої сили між штамом вірусу та вірусним навантаженням і сильну кореляцію з активністю процесу в печінці. У дітей із ХГВ активність гепатиту є предиктором прогресування фіброзу печінки.
Consequences of Functional Deficiency of Organic Natural Intelligence (ONI) for Politics
Authors: Achuthan M. Radh 
Published: December 2020

In a changing environment, Kin Altruism KA (what is good for the welfare of my genetic family) and Reciprocal Altruism RA (what is good for my business concerns with non-familial others) have been the intrinsic successful governing human principles through history, in “decision making”. Animals and Humans developed organic natural intelligence to guide their organizing behavior. A central nervous system evolved, leading to human Organic Natural Intelligence (henceforth, ONI.) Over the past 2500 years or so, expression of “empathy and compassion”, under “share and care” was proposed by various spiritual leaders. Efforts for acceptance of the same in society through Empathetic Altruistic behavior EA followed. Subject to political contests, national ONI practiced decision making at both local and global levels. The extent to which EA is to be incorporated into policy and decision making is a central concern, leading to substantial violence that challenges ONI. The functional presence of a new form of fast, self-teaching, self-learning, intelligence in inorganic matter capable of deep, machine learning, unhindered by KA or RA is expected in nature by about 2045. It is designated as Strong Artificial Intelligence. SAI. Emotion-laden ONI, threatened by other ONI may create additional evidence to affirm the Fermi Paradox; that would be to the detriment of ONI in the biosphere. This article proposes a solution. All ONI are threatened by SAI.

Kegiatan PKM ini dilaksanakan pada Kelompok Tani Ternak “Wana Sari Merta” di Desa Pancasari, Kecamatan Sukasada-Kabupaten Buleleng, Provinsi Bali dengan judul ”PKM Pemanfaatan Kotoran Kelinci Pada Kelompok Tani Ternak Di Kawasan Wisata Desa Pancasari-Kecamatan Sukasada, Kabupaten Buleleng Provinsi Bali”. Sampai saat ini di Desa Pancasari yang berada disekitar lokasi wisata Danau Buyan dan Danau Tamblingan masyarakatnya dalam budidaya tanaman yang banyak dikembangkan tanaman cabai, tomat, sawi, kentang, brokoli, selada, wortel, stroberi dan jenis lainnya dan masih banyak menggunakan pupuk organik yang berasal dari kotoran ayam yang mudah didapat dalam jumlah besar dan dapat memenuhi kebutuhan luasan tanam yang cukup luas. Kesempatan ini sebenarnya dapat dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat petani ternak khususnya kelinci sebagai peluang untuk mensuplai pupuk organik dari limbah kelinci baik padat maupun cair. Sampai saat ini permasalahan yang dihadapi mitra adalah kotoran padat dan cair belum diolah secara optimal dan memproses /memproduksi pupuk organik dari kotoran tersebut belum secara intensif/hanya sewaktu-waktu sesuai permintaan, produk belum dikemas dengan baik dan belum ada label sehingga dalam proses pemasaran belum dapat dikenal secara luas asal produsennya yang menjadi kendala bagi kelompok mitra, aspek manajemen dan pemasaran produk serta faktor penunjang lainnya masih perlu ditingkatkan. Solusi yang sudah diberikan pada kelompok mitra adalah transfer teknologi budidaya kelinci penyiapan pakan fermentasi, teknologi pengolahan kotoran kelinci, uji mutu produk pada laboratorium, kemasan dan pelabelan, manajemen usaha, pemasaran, temu usaha/mitra, serta bantuan alat dan bahan. Tujuan kegiatan PKM ini bagi mitra adalah: adanya peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan mitra dalam budidaya kelinci serta memanfaatkan limbah padat dan cair kelinci sebagai pupuk organik dalam mensubstitusi penggunaan pupuk anorganik yang ada di wilayah mitra. Selain itu, dapat menjadi alternatif bahwa limbah padat dan cair kelinci bagi masyarakat disekitar mitra dapat dipakai sebagai pupuk organik dalam pemupukan tanaman yang dibudidayakan selain pupuk-pupuk organik dari ayam yang telah digunakan saat ini . Sentuhan teknologi dalam pengolahan limbah kelinci akan memberi nilai tambah yang tinggi bagi petani ternak mitra. Dari kegiatan ini target luaran yang telah dicapai yaitu kelompok mitra secara mandiri mampu memanfaatkan limbah kelinci padat maupun cair dengan baik menjadi “Pupuk Organik Padat” (POP) dan “Pupuk Organik Cair” (POC) yang dikemas dan ada label sehingga dapat dipasarkan lebih luas dan diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pendapatan kelompok mitra.

Published: December 2020

O envelhecimento é composto por alterações morfológicas, a exemplo do acúmulo excessivo de gordura, que torna o idoso mais propenso ao acometimento de comorbidades, como a Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS), que, por sua vez, proporciona maior risco para desfechos desfavoráveis à saúde. Assim, o presente estudo objetiva averiguar a associação entre sobrepeso/obesidade e HAS em idosos. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura integrativa, realizada nas bases de dados Latina- Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde e Scientific Electronic Library Online. Verificou-se 470 manuscritos científicos. Deste, quatro foram selecionados à revisão. As populações estudadas variaram de 477 a 963 idosos, com média de idade entre 65,0 ±9,0 e 73,0 ±8,9 anos. As prevalências de sobrepeso/obesidade oscilaram entre 34,2 e 77,4%, enquanto as de hipertensão arterial, de 62,8 a 76,8%. Observou-se, em um dos estudos, que os idosos obesos apresentaram 3,85 vezes mais chances de serem hipertensos, quando comparados aos eutróficos. Outro estudo mostrou que as idosas e os idosos hipertensos, possuíam, respectivamente, em média, um índice de massa corporal 3,22 e 2,27 kg/m2 maior que os não hipertensos. Ademais, observou-se entre os idosos obesos, uma prevalência de hipertensão 40% maior que a entre os com peso normal. Averiguou-se elevadas prevalências de hipertensão arterial e sobrepeso/obesidade, bem como associações entre estas condições nos idosos avaliados. Assim, torna-se imprescindível a adoção de ações de vigilância à saúde, como o monitoramento do estado nutricional, a fim de se triar os idosos com maior vulnerabilidade à HAS e suas possíveis complicações.

This study aims to explain some material descriptions of fiqh siyasah covering four things, namely an explanation of the theory of fiqh siyasah in madrasas and schools, factors of fiqh siyasah, the urgency of fiqh siyasah in madrasas and schools and implementation of fiqh siyasah in madras and schools. Therefore, this study explores the theory of fiqh siyasah in madras and schools. The author describes the concept of fiqh siyasah in science, which discusses matters for the affairs of the State. The people of various forms of regulations, laws, and policies. That have been made by leaders who agree with or are in line with the basic teachings of the Sharia in order to realize the benefit of the people. In its implementation, the concept of fiqh can be seen in madrasas so that a comprehensive level of inculcating these fiqh values can be achieved. Therefore, this is very important to be taught to average students. If at the previous school level, students were only required to be able to understand the existing doctrines in fiqh. According to one or more schools, then in this madrasas an understanding of a difference of opinion or view in the prediction of fiqh learning is given. In addition, students must also be able to implement the science of fiqh. In everyday life so that, this becomes a form so that the goals of Islamic education are achieved.

Published: December 2020

Aim: Aim of this study was to evaluate and compare stress transfer at bone implant interface in customized root form implant and conventional endosseous implant.
Materials and methodology: A three-dimensional finite element model of Emulate implant and conventional endosseous implant (nobel active 4.2X11.5mm) was generated. The implants were restored with metal ceramic crown and subjected to 20 Mpa of axial applied stress. Resolved stresses were examined at four heights along the implant bone interface.
Results: In conventional endosseous implant with 100 % osseointegration higher stresses (1.01-0.12 MPa) were concentrated on the facial surface of crest of implant. The stresses decreased from junction of cortical bone and trabecular bone to the apex of implant (0.36 – 0.12 MPa). The maximum stresses on emulate implant with 100 % osseointegration were at the facial surface of the crest of implant (0.05 MPa) which were comparatively lesser than conventional endosseous implant (1.01 MPa).
Conclusion: The degree of osseointegration affected the stress levels or distributions around both implants. Crestal stresses were always higher than apical stress. When the implants were 100% osseointegrated, then stresses were higher on conventional endosseous implant while in case of 50% osseointegration, stresses were higher on emulate implant.

Published: December 2020

The use of plant fibres as reinforcement in composite materials is finding increasing interest in the automotive and building industry, and the properties of plant fibre composites have been addressed in numerous research studies. The replacement of synthetic fibres with natural fibres in composites is based on their renewable and environmentally friendly nature.
The aim of this work is to investigate the effects of two chemical pre-treatment methods on the water absorption property of polyester-fibre composites. Fully grown kenaf (hibiscus cannabalis) bast fibres were manually retted from the stalk, washed, and cut into short fibre lengths of about 10 cm. One portion of the fibres was pre-treated with 5% pbw NaOH solution before immersing it in glacial acetic acid and then in acetic anhydride. The second portion was pre-treated with 5%pbw of NaOH and 0.125% of KMnO4 in acetone. The third portion of fibres was untreated to serve as control. The ground fibre was incorporated into ortho unsaturated polyester and cast with Teflon square shaped mould. The cured samples were weighed and immersed in water at room temperature until no further gain in weight was observed. The SEM of the fibres and the composites was taken. The results showed that the acetylation pre-treatment method reduced the water absorption property of the composites by a minimum of 46.0% across all fibre volume fractions while the permanganate pre-treatment reduced it by at least 25.5%. Chemical pre-treatment of fibres can therefore

Published: December 2020

The Saint-Louis Region runs along the Senegal River on the Mauritanian border, an interface region between the dry Sahelian and hot and dry Saharan climates. It is one of the regions of Senegal located in the northwest of this country. Its total population is nearly one million inhabitants living mainly from the resources of the river, and from agriculture.
To understand the interannual variability of precipitation in this buffer region between the Sahel and the Sahara, more particularly in the region of Saint Louis, we have studied the meteorological parameters involved in the establishment of precipitation.
This region is located in the extreme north of Senegal between 12 ° 62-16 ° 52 west longitude and 14 ° 4-16 ° 67 north latitude. On its western facade, it is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean.
It has a strong agricultural vocation because of its significant water and land potential. Indeed, the Senegal River flows into the Atlantic at Saint Louis, it has source in Guinea. Its regime is very irregular and depends entirely on monsoon rains.
However, rain is the most important factor in the climate and is one of the main sources of water for the river in this climatic zone. It is characterized by its insufficiency, its irregularity, and significant inter-annual differences.
The influence of the nearby ocean appears to play an important role in climate activity in this region.
Using the monsoon depth and height from meridian and zonal winds, we have established the correlations between monsoon rains and Sea Surface Temperature (SST). From these parameters, we were able to predict the rainfall breaks in this region of Senegal.
