Authors: Wisnu R P , Karuniasa M , Moersidik S S 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Fish aquaculture using floating net cages is a common way to utilize water body, which often caused water pollution. Lake Cilala is a lake with high trophic level in Bogor Regency, West Java, that used for fish farming activities. Historically, eutrophication events that have occurred at Lake Cilala made this research interesting to see the effect of fisheries activities on water quality. This research analyses pH, phosphate, nitrate, and BOD and their effect on water quality, with criterion is based on Indonesia Government Regulation No. 82 of 2001 (Class II). Water sampling is conducted using a grab sampling method at the lake and then tested in a laboratory. Analysis of the effect of the parameters tested on water quality was carried out by a literature study. Results indicate that water quality is in poor condition due to fish aquaculture activities. The concentration of nitrate and BOD were found to be 4,21 mg/L and 8,20 mg/L, which determined the pollution of Lake Cilala. Without any proper management, these pollutants can increase to a certain level, causing more troubles like eutrophication. The right strategy needed in managing fish aquaculture using floating net cages to maintain the water quality of Lake Cilala.

Abstract
This research aims to know the increase of cleaner production environment in the fish processing industry through work motivation and leadership of women fishermen in the Tangerang Regency. A survey method is employed using a path analysis technique, whereas the sampling technique used is proportional random sampling. Samples are obtained from primary data. The results show that: work motivation has a partial significant influence on the increase of cleaner production environment in the fish processing industry; which indicates an increase in work motivation will lead to an increase in the cleaner production environment in the fish processing industry. Secondly, the leadership of women fishermen has a partial significant influence on the increase in the cleaner production environment in the fish processing industry. Third of all, both work motivation and leadership of women fishermen simultaneously have a significant effect on increasing the cleaner production environment in the fish processing industry, indicating a variable increase in the cleaner production environment in the fish processing industry which 55,8% can be accounted for by work motivation and leadership. The path analysis coefficient shows that work motivation has a significant effect on the increase in the cleaner production environment in the fish processing industry, whether directly or indirectly.

Abstract
Predictions of accurate heavy rain are needed in building a flood early warning system. One of the most commonly used weather parameter modeling models is the Weather Research Forecasting, but the results of the WRF model prediction have deficiencies inaccuracy so that data assimilation needs to be done to improve accuracy. This research aims to determine the effect of radar data assimilation by applying RUC using WRF 3DVAR to improve the predictions of heavy rain events in the Jabodetabek area with cases representing each of the four seasons, on February 20, 2017, April 3, 2017, June 13, 2017, and November 09, 2017. The data used for this research are synoptic observation data, GSMaP, GFS, Radar data, in the form of Z CAPPI products. In general, WRF radar data assimilation with RUC shows better spatial and point values. This can be seen in the spatial rainfall distribution on February 20th, 2017, June 13th, 2017, and November 09th, 2017 analysis on Climatology Station of PondokBetung, as well as the analysis of rain dichotomy, shows WRF assimilation using RUC with a TS value increased by 9%, PC value increased by 10%, and FAR value fixed by 18%.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to study the effect of intensive and traditional farming on the chemical composition of whiteleg shrimp (Penaeusvannamei) during storage till up to 8 days. The study on intensive and traditional farming were done at MariorennuVillage, Gantarang Subdistrict and at Manjalling Village, Ujung Loe Subdistrict, respectively, Bulukumba Regency, as well as at the Research and Development Center of Fishery Products of Makassar, South Sulawesi, the Province of South Sulawesi. The research design was conducted by a randomized complete block design with a storage treatment of 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 days. The parameters studied are water content, ash, lipid, and protein content, as well as total volatile base (TVB), trimethylamine (TMA), pH, and free fatty acids (FFA). Whiteleg shrimps from intensive farming and traditional farming were stored in a coolbox containing with 2: 1 ratio of ice and shrimp, respectively. The addition of ice was carried out every day for 8 days storage, and chemical analysis was condcuted at intervals of 2 days. Chemical testings was carried out based on the SNI method. Samples were measured as much as 10-15g and then chemically tested reffer to the method in SNI. The results for both intensive and traditional farming of whiteleg shrimp showed that storage time had a significant influence on the following parameters i.e. TVB, pH, FFA, water content, and protein content. No significant effect was found for following parameters, namely TMA, ash and fat content.
Habitat partitioning in native Geranium species through reproductive interference
Authors: Nishida Sachiko , Takakura Koh-Ichi , Naiki Akiyo , Nishida Takayoshi 
Published: December 2019

AbstractBackground and AimsHeterospecific pollen transfer may reduce the fitness of recipient species, a phenomenon known as reproductive interference. A theoretical study has predicted that distributions of species pairs affected by reproductive interference may be syntopic under negligible reproductive interference, sympatric but with partitioning at small spatial scale (i.e. allotopic) under weak interference, or exclusive when reproductive interference is strong. Verifying these predictions is essential for evaluation of the applicability of reproductive interference as a general assembly rule of biological communities. The aim of this study was to test these predictions in two sympatrically distributed wild Geranium species, G. thunbergii and G. wilfordii.MethodsTo measure the effect of reproductive interference, the associations between the relative abundance of the counterpart species and seed set in the focal species, and seed set reduction following mixed pollination, were analysed. The possibility of hybridization with viable offspring was examined by genotyping plants in the field and after mixed pollination. Fertility of putative hybrids was based on their seed set and the proportion of pollen grains with apertural protrusions. A transect study was conducted to examine spatial partitioning, and possible influences of environmental conditions (canopy openness and soil moisture content) on partitioning between the species were analysed.Key ResultsNeither abundance of the counterpart species nor heterospecific pollen deposition significantly affected seed set in the focal species, and hybridization between species was almost symmetrical. Putative hybrids had low fertility. The two species were exclusively distributed at small scale, although environmental conditions were not significantly different between them.ConclusionsThe allotopy of the two species may be maintained by relatively weak reproductive interference through bidirectional hybridization. Re-evaluation of hybridization may allow ongoing or past reproductive interference to be recognized and provide insight into the distributional relationships between the interacting plants.
International Publishing as A Networked Activity: Collegial Support for Chinese Scientists
Authors: Luo N A , Hyland Ken 
Published: December 2019

AbstractWriting for international publication is a daunting prospect for all scholars but is particularly difficult for those off-network academics writing in an additional language. With little institutional support, they may solicit help from colleagues and other text mediators who do not share authorship. In this article, we investigate the experiences of 31 Chinese scientists seeking to publish in English, following their writing practices and use of discursive support by colleagues. We found that colleagues, although a valuable resource, were at best part of the solution. Many also turned to noncolleague text mediators, but with only limited success. Our study points to the need that institutions in non-Anglophone settings may need to sponsor systematic support to their scholars striving for international publication.

AbstractThe Earth's population will become more than 80% urban during this century. This threshold is often regarded as sufficient justification for pursuing urban ecology. However, pursuit has primarily focused on building empirical richness, and urban ecology theory is rarely discussed. The Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES) has been grounded in theory since its inception and its two decades of data collection have stimulated progress toward comprehensive urban theory. Emerging urban ecology theory integrates biology, physical sciences, social sciences, and urban design, probes interdisciplinary frontiers while being founded on textbook disciplinary theories, and accommodates surprising empirical results. Theoretical growth in urban ecology has relied on refined frameworks, increased disciplinary scope, and longevity of interdisciplinary interactions. We describe the theories used by BES initially, and trace ongoing theoretical development that increasingly reflects the hybrid biological–physical–social nature of the Baltimore ecosystem. The specific mix of theories used in Baltimore likely will require modification when applied to other urban areas, but the developmental process, and the key results, will continue to benefit other urban social–ecological research projects.
An update on the Symbiotic Genomes Database (SymGenDB): a collection of metadata, genomic, genetic and protein sequences, orthologs and metabolic networks of symbiotic organisms

Published: December 2019

Abstract
The Symbiotic Genomes Database (SymGenDB; http://symbiogenomesdb.uv.es/) is a public resource of manually curated associations between organisms involved in symbiotic relationships, maintaining a catalog of completely sequenced/finished bacterial genomes exclusively. It originally consisted of three modules where users could search for the bacteria involved in a specific symbiotic relationship, their genomes and their genes (including their orthologs). In this update, we present an additional module that includes a representation of the metabolic network of each organism included in the database, as Directed Acyclic Graphs (MetaDAGs). This module provides unique opportunities to explore the metabolism of each individual organism and/or to evaluate the shared and joint metabolic capabilities of the organisms of the same genera included in our listing, allowing users to construct predictive analyses of metabolic associations and complementation between systems. We also report a ~25% increase in manually curated content in the database, i.e. bacterial genomes and their associations, with a final count of 2328 bacterial genomes associated to 498 hosts. We describe new querying possibilities for all the modules, as well as new display features for the MetaDAGs module, providing a relevant range of content and utility. This update continues to improve SymGenDB and can help elucidate the mechanisms by which organisms depend on each other.
Heart failure in dilated non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy

Published: December 2019

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is the prevailing cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with dilated non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (DCM) and DCM is one of several causes of HF, with several distinct epidemiological and clinical features which may have important implications for its management and prognosis. This article reviews cardiovascular monitoring of specific characteristics of HF in DCM. DCM is defined as ventricular dilatation and systolic dysfunction in the absence of abnormal loading conditions or significant coronary artery disease, the predominant phenotypes of being HFmrEF or HFrEF. DCM accounts for ∼40% of all cardiomyopathies but its true prevalence among patients with HFrEF is difficult to ascertain with certainty.
Compared with patients with other HF aetiologies, individuals with DCM tend to be younger, more likely male and less likely to have associated comorbidities. A genetic aetiology of DCM is deemed responsible for ∼40% of cases. Confirmation of a specific genetic background is clinically relevant (e.g. Duchene or Backer muscular dystrophies, lamin A/C mutation), because those patients may be at a high risk of progressive left ventricular dysfunction or conduction system disease and sudden death, prompting early prophylaxis with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. However, in most instances, HF in DCM has a multifactorial aetiology, with multiple factors needing to be systematically evaluated and/or monitored, since correction of reversible causes or (e.g. tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, alcohol intoxication, iron-overload, cancer therapies etc.) or targeting specific pathophysiological causes could lead to an improvement in clinical status.
The treatment of DCM encompasses HF-related pharmacological and device therapies, and aetiology-specific treatments. At present, options for aetiology-related therapies are limited, and their effectiveness mostly requires confirmation from larger scale randomized trials. Whether outcomes of patients with HF in DCM differ from those with other HF aetiologies is unresolved. DCM is attributable for &gt;40% of patients receiving mechanical circulatory support for advanced HF and it is the leading indication for heart transplantation. More aetiology-specific information is needed both in the evaluation and treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy.
Renal function, electrolytes, and congestion monitoring in heart failure

Published: December 2019

Abstract
Congestion, renal function, and electrolyte imbalance (particularly potassium) are common problems in the management of the complex multi-morbid patient with heart failure (HF). Poor control of these fundamental clinical features is associated with adverse outcomes. Close monitoring of serum potassium and renal function is recommended by most current guidelines during the management of an episode of acute decompensated HF, yet the recommendations remain poorly implemented. Physicians are advised to treat a state of euvolaemia after an admission with decompensated HF and residual congestion is a marker of worse outcome, yet control of congestion is poorly assessed and managed in real-world practice. This document reflects the key points discussed by a panel of experts during a Heart Failure Association meeting on physiological monitoring of the complex multi-morbid HF patient, and here, we present to aspects related to renal function, electrolyte, and congestion monitoring.
Good Scholarship/Bad Scholarship: Consequences of the Heuristic of Intersectional Islamic Studies
Authors: Siddiqui Sohaira 
Published: December 2019

AbstractIn her article, “Islamic Legal Studies: A Critical Historiography,” published in The Oxford Handbook of Islamic Law, Ayesha Chaudhry criticizes the field of Islamic law, and Islamic studies more broadly, for promoting two hegemonic methodologies: White Supremacist Islamic Studies and Patriarchal Islamic Studies. She argues that these modes of scholarship perpetuate patriarchy, decenter Muslim narratives, privilege precolonial texts, and create barriers to entry into academia. Her resolution is a new form of Islamic studies—Intersectional Islamic Studies—which seeks to recenter Muslim narratives, is committed to social justice, and exposes the problematic power structures within academic inquiry. Chaudhry argues that scholarship produced using the first two methods is “bad scholarship,” whereas scholarship produced using the third method is “good scholarship.” In this article, I problematize the dichotomy between “good” and “bad” scholarship and argue that Chaudhry’s methodology is restrictive, hegemonic, and detrimental to meaningful scholarly engagement.

Abstract
Bovine anaplasmosis is the most prevalent tick-transmitted disease of cattle worldwide and a major obstacle to profitable beef production. Use of chlortetracycline-medicated feed to control active anaplasmosis infections during the vector season has raised concerns about the potential emergence of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria that may pose a risk to human health. Furthermore, the absence of effectiveness data for a commercially available, conditionally licensed anaplasmosis vaccine is a major impediment to implementing anaplasmosis control programs. The primary objective of this study was to develop a single-dose vaccine delivery platform to produce long-lasting protective immunity against anaplasmosis infections. Twelve Holstein steers, aged 11 to 12 wk, were administered a novel 3-stage, single-dose vaccine against Anaplasma marginale, a major surface protein 1a. The vaccine consisted of a soluble vaccine administered subcutaneously (s.c.) for immune priming, a vaccine depot of a biodegradable polyanhydride rod with intermediate slow release of the vaccine for boosting immune response, and an immune-isolated vaccine platform for extended antigen release (VPEAR implant) deposited s.c. in the ear. Six calves were randomly assigned to 2 vaccine constructs (n = 3) that featured rods and implants containing a combination of 2 different adjuvants, diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-Dextran and Quil-A (Group A). The remaining 6 calves were randomly assigned to 2 vaccine constructs (n = 3) that featured rods and implants containing the same adjuvant (either DEAE-Dextran or Quil A) (Group B). Twenty-one months post-implantation, calves were challenged intravenously with A. marginale stabilate and were monitored weekly for signs of fever, decreased packed cell volume (PCV) and bacteremia. Data were analyzed using a mixed-effects model and chi-squared tests (SAS v9.04.01, SAS Institute, Cary, NC). Calves in Group A had higher PCV than calves in Group B (P = 0.006) at day 35 post-infection. Calves in Group A were less likely to require antibiotic intervention compared with calves in Group B (P = 0.014). Results indicate that calves exhibited diminished clinical signs of anaplasmosis when antigen was delivered with a combination of adjuvants as opposed to a single adjuvant. This demonstrates the feasibility of providing long-lasting protection against clinical bovine anaplasmosis infections using a subcutaneous ear implant vaccine construct.
Exploring Dentist Opinions on the Provision of Intravenous Sedation in Primary Dental Care for UK Armed Forces Personnel

Published: December 2019

Abstract
Introduction: Anxiety toward dental treatment can lead to preventable morbidity, most notably oral pain and infection. This is of concern to the UK Armed Forces (UK AF), as dental care may not be immediately accessible during deployments and exercises, necessitating aeromedical evacuation. Current Defence Policy states that serving UK AF personnel requiring sedation to tolerate routine dental treatment are to have their Joint Medical Employment Standard (JMES) reviewed to restrict their deployability and employability. This article explores current sedation delivery, dentist opinion, and adherence to policy. Materials and Methods: The total number and type of intravenous (IV) sedation appointments over a 6-month period was assessed using surgical logbooks. Questionnaires were sent to all dentists in primary care responsible for treating military patients to ascertain their attitudes toward the requirement for sedation in support of recruitment and deployability. Ten-year retrospective data analyses were used to identify current trends in sedation use in the UK AF. Results: Responses were received from 117/137 (85%) dentists. All of the responding Civilian Dental Practitioners felt that there was a requirement for IV sedation in contrast to the Royal Navy (RN), where over a quarter (28%) disagreed. The majority, 48 (81%), of Army dentists felt that military patients unable to tolerate routine treatment under local anesthesia alone should not deploy on operations, compared with 7 (63%) of their civilian counterparts. Overall, 72 (62%) respondents felt that patients unable to tolerate routine treatment without sedation should not be recruited. Conclusions: Civilian Dental Practitioners in the sample indicated that they were less likely to recommend a patient for JMES review, less likely to prevent patients from deploying and less likely to believe that individuals requiring sedation for routine treatment should not be recruited into the UK AF. These attitudes are contrary to current Defence direction and could increase the risk of UK AF personnel experiencing morbidity on deployment requiring aeromedical evacuation. Over the longer term, civilianization of Defence dentistry is likely to reduce collective operational experience and Defence must ensure that clinicians understand the management of anxious patients in the military context and their responsibilities in relation to JMES. Furthermore, policy limiting the recruitment of personnel with significant dental anxiety is not being robustly adhered to. Based on the number of dental procedures undertaken under IV sedation in the UK AF, consistent application of this policy would not affect recruitment at an organizational level, but would limit the risk of deploying these personnel. Further work is required to understand dental anxiety within the UK Armed Forces so that the operational morbidity risks can be quantified and provision appropriately planned.
