Abstract
Satellite measurements and model simulations indicate the existence of the Asian tropopause aerosol layer (ATAL)—an enhanced aerosol layer in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) associated with the Asian summer monsoon (ASM)—although it has rarely been evidenced by snapshots of balloon-borne in situ measurements. To better understand how the ATAL evolves, a portable optical particle counter (POPS) onboard a stratospheric balloon was released over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) during the ASM period of 2019. The POPS detected the ATAL in the UTLS during the ascending, descending periods, as well as during its quasi-horizontal floating periods. The aerosol number density in the ATAL showed obvious vertical variability. The peak aerosol number density in the ATAL was 180 cm−3 around the tropopause during the ascending and descending period and the maximum aerosol number density was 290 cm−3 around the tropopause during the floating period. And the aerosol concentration observed over the TP in the 2019 summer was approximately five times larger than that in the 2018 summer. Lagrangian simulations reveal that the minority of the observed aerosol particles were directly elevated in a region of uplift south of the Himalayas, and the majority of the particles were transported from the UTLS region situated approximately between the isentropic surfaces of 370 and 460 K. Up to 14% of the observed aerosol particles were directly influenced by the volcanic plumes from the eruption of the volcano Raikoke in June 2019.
Size and shape of tracked Brownian bridges
Authors: Alsolami Abdulrahman , Burridge James , Gnacik Michał 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
We investigate the typical sizes and shapes of sets of points obtained by irregularly tracking two-dimensional Brownian bridges. The tracking process consists of observing the path location at the arrival times of a non-homogeneous Poisson process on a finite time interval. The time varying intensity of this observation process is the tracking strategy. By analysing the gyration tensor of tracked points we prove two theorems which relate the tracking strategy to the average gyration radius, and to the asphericity—a measure of how non-spherical the point set is. The act of tracking may be interpreted either as a process of observation, or as process of depositing time decaying ‘evidence’ such as scent, environmental disturbance, or disease particles. We present examples of different strategies, and explore by simulation the effects of varying the total number of tracking points.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to design a concept of energy management control system (EMCS) at the UNSADA campus, Jakarta, Indonesia by utilizing the results of the previous walkthrough audit. EMCS is an important first step by involving all parties on campus to be concerned the sustainable energy savings. The energy efficiency program utilizes the campus as an energy laboratory to identify, recommend, implement and evaluate the energy consumption, so that the expected energy efficiency targeted by the top managements can be achieved. This program is motivated by several reasons, such as; to support government policies in reducing dependence on fossil energy by implementing energy conservation programs; as a reflection of compliance with the implementation of educational service buildings (including the campus in Jakarta); a vision as the efficient campus in energy consumption that has been determined by the campus management. To achieve these goals, there are four stages to be done; the preparation, the conducting audit, the audit analysis, and the recommendation for implementation. The results provide an overview of the opportunities to save the energy consumption and to develop EMCS by involving all stack-holders on campus.
Spatial reading of kampungs by using Gordon Cullen’s theory: A contemporary perspective
Authors: Damayanti R , Kossak F , Nurdiah E A 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Contemporary perspective is to transform the theory reading of space in Asian cities, particularly to the reading of kampung in Surabaya. Kampung (urban village) are commonly read as a disorder neighbourhood located in a modern urban area. Through the perspective, analysed inside out of urban spaces, the kampungs is read not only on the physical structure but the meaning behind the use. It is compulsory to consider the three parameters of urban observation for this perspective: theoretical concept, phenomenological scope, and point of view. In this research, these observed parameters: theory of townscape by Gordon Cullen, phenomenon of public and private space in the kampung, and applying the research method of ground research. Cullen’s theory one of well known Western-centric theory is needed to be included since Asian still lack of theoretical presence. The observation of the phenomenon is to extend the theory and to read urban spaces in greater Asia including studying meaning behind the urban structure. The result of this research has shown that unfixed urban elements in the kampung create stronger sense of urban enjoyment than fixed elements. The unfixed are related to the social activities occurred that identify the fluid condition of private and public usage.

Abstract
Many previous studies regarding computer aided architectural design (CAAD) software for design have been developed with reference to how the CAAD software (in this case: AutoCAD, SketchUp and Rhinoceros) will benefit the students while learning to 2D-3D modeling design. The purpose of this study aims to identify the first year students’ perspective regarding the 2D-3D modeling software usability. A total of 127 first year interior design students participated in the study. After finishing the course about CAAD software, they completed a survey using System Usability Scale (SUS) and polling method. After that the data was analyzed and measured. Statically, the findings show that there a difference usability between SketchUp – AutoCAD, but not so different between SketchUp – Rhinoceros and AutoCAD – Rhinoceros; secondly SketchUp is less usability than the AutoCAD and Rhinoceros. But using the survey polling, the findings show that most students will be using SketchUp for their 3D modeling design. Possibly not occurring significant result is because: the students may not really understand the System Usability Scale (the greater showed negative usability) and ambiguous perception in the questionnaire statement

Published: June 2020

Abstract
An F2 population is a segregated population where recombinant characters emergence. To selection these recombinant characters, it is important to know their genetic parameters. The purpose of this study was to determine the action of genes controlling the number of productive tillers, the total number of grains per panicle, the percentage of grain-filled per panicle, weight of one thousand filled grains and total grain weight per hill of F2 generations. Silopuk cultivar with red rice characteristic but has weakness such as long harvest age, high plants, and medium grain size, while superior Fatmawati has early maturity, semidwarf plant n thickness, big grain size, and white grain color. The character can be improved by the plant breeding method using hybridization. The research method used is the experimental method without replication with the head to row method [clump to row] and analyzed using the analysis of Skewness and Kurtosis. The result of the crossing of these varieties is expected to obtain large and heavy grain size, early age as Fatmawati and red rice as Silopuk. Z skewness test results and Z test kurtosis on F tow generation for all characters observed are controlled by many additive genes. The characters that have additive gene action such as plant height, panicle length and total grain size can be used as selection criteria for generation F three.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
Cinnamon is the main commodity of West Sumatra and Indonesia is the largest exporter of world markets. Cinnamon seeds are recalcitrant, so the fruit that has fallen out and is not fresh has experienced a decline in germination power. To improve the viability of cinnamon seeds, it is necessary to soak with rabbit urine. For this reason, a study was conducted to improve the quality of cinnamon seed viability through soaking in rabbit urine. This research was conducted at Balittro Laing Solok Experimental Garden from October 2017 to February 2018. The study used a completely randomized design [CRD] with 5 treatments namely rabbit urine dose: [1] without urine/water, [2] dose of 10 ml/l, [3] dose of 15 ml/l [4] dose of 20 ml/l [5] Dose of 25 ml/l, 30 seeds per box/plot and repeated 7 times. Seeds were used 7 days after harvest. Variables measured included: germination, vegetative growth of seeds [seed height, leaf number, leaf length, leaf width, stem diameter, number of roots, root length and biomass], chlorophyll analysis. The results showed that the seed germination was 60% while the vegetative growth of seed height, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, and stem diameter were found the best at doses 25 ml/l as well as for the variable root length, number of roots, whole wet weight, stem wet weight + leaves, root wet weight, whole dry weight, dry weight of stem + leaves, and dry weight of the root

Abstract
Clonal propagation using in vitro techniques to provide good quality seedling of coffee requires technological establishment, especially about the determinant factor for regeneration success. Therefore the study of regeneration methods in vitro in coffee plants needs to be done either through somatic embryogenesis or organogenesis. The purpose of this research was to obtain the optimal concentration of plant growth regulators and incubation temperatures to induce the embryogenic callus of coffee. The basic medium was used MS [Murasige and Skoog] with the addition of 1 g/L of active charcoal and 7 g/L of bactoagar. The experiment used a factorial completely randomized design. The first factor is the concentration of plant growth regulators consisting of 6 levels : 0.5 mg 2.4D L−1 + 1 mg TDZ L−1; 0.5 mg 2.4D L−1 + 2 mg TDZ L−1; 1 mg 2.4D L−1 + 1 mg TDZ L−1; 1 mg 2.4D L−1 + 2 mg TDZ L−1; 2 mg 2.4D L−1 + 1 mg TDZ L−1; 2 mg 2.4D L−1 + 2 mg TDZ L−1. The second factor is the incubation of temperature is consisting of 2 levels: 18°C and 26°C. Variables observed included: time of callus induction, percentage of callus induction, callus texture and callus color. The results showed that all medium tested only media with a concentration of 2 mg 2.4D L−1 + 2 mg TDZ L−1 which gave an optimal response to the percentage of callus induction which reached 100% with friable texture and yellowish-white. Based on observations it is also known that the incubation temperature of 26°C can induce callus faster than the incubation temperature of 18°C.
Partial isolation of the starch branching enzymes [SBE] encoding gene from the plantain banana [Musa paradisiaca] genotype Raja

Published: June 2020

Abstract
Banana fruit has the potential to be developed as a functional food in terms of its medicinal benefit. One of its features enabling such beneficial uses is its resistant starch characteristic. However, the starch resistance composition of the fruit will decrease during fruit maturation and food processing. Rationally, blocking of starch resistance decreasing process should maintain the beneficial characteristic of the banana fruit. This could be done by suppressing the expression of the SBE gene so that it can inhibit the formation of branching points in the amylopectin chain metabolism. Based on that consideration, we isolated the SBE gene involved in the formation of amylopectin in genotype Pisang Raja. In the initial step, the MaSBE_5458_F and MaSBE_5458_R primer combination was designed and successfully generated part of the sequence of the MaSBE5 gene. A total DNA sequence of 1,372 bp in length has been isolated, purified and characterized by sequencing technique. Blast analysis showed that the MaSBE_5458 gene sequence has a 97% similarity with 1,4-alpha glucan branching enzyme 1, chloroplastic/amyloplastic DNA sequence isolated from Musa acuminata subsp. malaccensis.

Abstract
Price transmission becomes an important issue because it is useful in measuring the distribution of welfare between producers and consumers as well as indicators of the efficiency of a marketing system. This study aimed to analyze the vertical transmission of the rice prices from consumers to farmers after the determination of rice ceiling price by the government in September 2017. The study was conducted in South Sumatra Province as one of the centers of rice production in Indonesia. Price transmission was analyzed using price transmission elasticity, on weekly time series secondary data of rice price for 100 weeks, from September 2017 to July 2019. Besides, primary data of the price, production, and cost of production of rice also collected in an empirical study in South Sumatra province to compare before and after the situation. The results showed that the price transmission of premium and medium rice at consumer-level to the price of harvested dried grain has an elasticity value not equal to one, but rather less than one for premium quality rice and more than one for medium quality. This shows that the rice market in South Sumatra Province is still inefficient because the prices are transmitted asymmetrically both for premium and medium rice. Results from the empirical study have also supported the same phenomena which showed an average increase of rice cost production and then the decrease of farmer income in 2018, one-year implementation of the ceiling price policy, especially in lowland swamp.

Associations Between Day-by-Day Home Blood Pressure Variability and Renal Function and Albuminuria in Patients With and Without Diabetes
Authors: Suzuki Daisuke , Hoshide Satoshi , Kario Kazuomi 
Published: June 2020

Abstract

BACKGROUND
The phenotype of diabetic kidney disease represents a lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria. We investigated the association between day-by-day home blood pressure (BP) variability and the eGFR in subjects with diabetes and compared this association with that in subjects without diabetes. We then attempted to determine whether the association is present in albuminuria.

METHODS
We analyzed 4,231 patients with risk factors of cardiovascular disease (24.4% with diabetes) from the J-HOP (Japan Morning Surge-Home Blood Pressure) study. Home BP was measured in the morning and evening for 14 days. We calculated the SD, coefficient of variation, average real variability (ARV), and variation independent of the mean of the subjects’ morning and evening home systolic BP (SBP) as the indexes of day-by-day home BP variability.

RESULTS
A multiple linear regression analysis adjusted for covariates showed both average morning and evening SBP were associated with the log-transformed urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) with and without diabetes (all P &lt; 0.05), but not with the eGFR except for an association of average evening SBP in the no-diabetes group. None of the indexes of day-by-day morning and evening home SBP variability were associated with the log-transformed UACR except for the association between the ARV of home morning SBP in the diabetes group. All of the indexes of day-by-day morning and evening home SBP variability were associated with the eGFR only in the diabetes group (all P &lt; 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS
The association between increased day-by-day home BP variability and impaired renal function was unique in diabetes.

Published: June 2020

AbstractBackgroundIn continued interest to develop and refine minimally invasive procedures, recent publications reported a scarless approach in breast lifting.ObjectivesThe authors sought to describe a power-assisted lipomodeling technique combined with surgical loops to achieve breast reduction and reshaping with minimal scars.MethodsBetween 2014 and 2018, 94 patients underwent breast reduction by combined liposuction and loops. Following infiltration of the breasts, liposuction of the outer quadrants and the lower pole was achieved to reduce the breast footprint and the lateral and inferior heaviness of the breast. After multiaxial multiplanar tunnelization, 3 types of loops were taken around the breast to suspend and elevate the breast skin envelope and parenchyma. Each loop was guided through a 3-mm, 3-hole cannula passed through skin stab incisions. The first loop was designed to reduce the breast footprint and enhance the breast projection, whereas the second loop was designed to achieve breast conus remodeling. The third loop was passed circumferentially around the areola and then cephalad along the breast axis and pulled until the desired nipple-areola complex elevation was reached. Each loop was pulled to achieve the desired breast projection and shape.ResultsThe authors achieved breast reduction with a mean nipple elevation of 7.3 cm, and 88% of patients were satisfied with their breast shape. The total complication rate was 1%, including mild cellulitis in 1 breast, treated efficiently with oral antibiotics.ConclusionsThe proposed technique is a novel, simple, and safe alternative to achieve breast reduction and reshaping without a scar.Level of Evidence: 4
