Authors: Sulistyaningrum Anna , Kiloes Adhitya Marendra , Darudriyo Darudriyo 
Published: May 2020

Bawang putih merupakan komoditas hortikultura yang memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi dan banyak digunakan oleh masyarakat sebagai bumbu maupun obat. Bawang putih banyak mengalami perubahan baik secara nutrisional maupun penampakannya selama penyimpanan, sehingga dibutuhkan penanganan pascapanen yang tepat. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui kualitas bawang putih Sangga Sembalun dan Lumbu Kuning yang disimpan dalam suhu ruang baik untuk konsumsi maupun benih serta mengetahui kualitas bawang putih dalam bentuk konde maupun rogol selama penyimpanan. Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap Faktorial dengan 2 faktor perlakuan dan terdiri dari 6 ulangan. Perlakuan pertama adalah varietas (V) yang terdiri dari varietas Sangga Sembalun dan varietas Lumbu Kuning, sementara perlakuan kedua adalah bentuk (B) yang terdiri dari bentuk rogol dan konde. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat penurunan bobot bawang putih tertinggi yaitu pada saat 1 minggu penyimpanan dengan penurunan sebesar 33,2% dengan susut diamater sebesar 6,98%, karena pada kondisi tersebut kandungan air dari komoditas hortikultura masih sangat tinggi. Bawang putih untuk konsumsi segar (penyimpanan hingga 2 bulan) dalam bentuk konde memiliki tingkat penurunan yang lebih rendah jika dibandingkan dengan bentuk rogol yaitu sebesar 21,45% varietas Lumbu Kuning dan 19,88% untuk varietas Sangga Sembalun. Demikian halnya dengan penyimpanan selama 6 bulan, bawang putih dalam bentuk konde memiliki tingkat kehilangan air yang lebih rendah, serta memiliki penampakan kesegaran yang lebih baik (tidak cepat keriput dan layu) serta kerusakan akibat mikroorganisme dapat lebih diminimalisir. Kata kunci: bawang putih, kualitas, kehilangan berat, penyimpanan.
Knowledge and Practice on Birth Preparedness and Complication Readiness among Pregnant Women in Selected Ward of Biratnager Municipality, Nepal
Authors: Subedi Sabitra 
Published: May 2020

Birth preparedness and complication readiness is the process planning for normal birth and anticipating the action needed in case of an emergency. Promoting birth and emergency planning helps to improve preventive behavior, increase awareness of mothers about danger signs and improvement in care seeking behavior in the case of obstetric complication. A cross sectional descriptive quantitative community-based study was conducted to assess knowledge and practice on birth preparedness and complication readiness among 150 pregnant women of 24 weeks gestation and above in selected wards of Biratnagar with non- probability purposive sampling.
The findings of the study showed that 22.7% of the respondents had adequate knowledge on the birth preparedness and complication readiness and 19.8% of respondents had adequate practice. However, the only 9.3% of respondents were prepared for birth complications. Analysis using chi square test identified statistically significant association between knowledge and practice. The study found significant association of knowledge with gravida and weeks of gestation. It seemed there is significant association of practice level with occupation and weeks of gestation and weeks of gestation. The study identified inadequate knowledge and practices on birth preparedness and complication readiness. Thus, the government office, policy makers and partner that are working in maternal health should give due emphasis to preparation for birth and its complication and provide information and education to all pregnant women at community level.

Modelle? Brauche ich nicht. Modellieren? Tue ich nicht – oder vielleicht doch?
Die wenigsten Menschen würden sich spontan als Modellierer bezeichnen. Modelle werden oft als überaus kompliziert, wenig nützlich und nicht praxisnah eingeschätzt. Wir stellen diese (Vor-)Urteile auf den Prüfstand und zeigen auf, dass Modelle in unserem Alltag unentbehrlich sind und es uns ermöglichen, Entscheide zeitnah zu fällen, ohne überaus lange brüten zu müssen. Anhand einer einfachen Entscheidung erklären wir den typischen Ablauf bei der Modellbildung. Sind Modelle schon im täglichen Leben unverzichtbar, so ist dies in der Forstwirtschaft und in der Waldforschung noch stärker der Fall. Seit je bilden Waldmodelle wie der Normalwald oder die Ertragstafeln das Rückgrat nachhaltiger Eingriffe. Globale Trends und klimatische Veränderungen der letzten 50 bis 70 Jahre verlangen nach dynamischen, klimasensitiven Waldmodellen, um Fragen zur zukünftigen Entwicklung von Wäldern, Baumarten, Kohlenstoffsenken, Holznutzungspotenzialen, Schäden und Gefahren zu beantworten und Handlungsoptionen zu analysieren. Jede dieser Fragen bedarf aber eines spezifischen Modells oder einer spezifischen Modellgruppe. Wir stellen anhand von sechs spezifischen Fragestellungen in der Schweiz verfügbare Waldmodelle vor, die zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen geeignet sind.

Saluran dibangun sebagai media yang berfungsi untuk mengalirkan air. Di dalam kegiatan perencanaan, desain, dan konstruksi saluran memerlukan banyak waktu, upaya , dan biaya. Desain dan konstruksi saluran harus sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan karakteristik lokasi yang digunakan. Seringkali terjadi perubahan parameter dalam menentukan desain saluran akibat pertimbangan teknis maupun ekonomis. Hal tersebut menuntut perubahan desain saluran yang sesuai dengan parameter yang baru. Oleh sebab itu, diperlukan alat untuk mempermudah perhitungan desain saluran. Parameter yang diperlukan untuk menghitung desain saluran adalah debit (Q), faktor tahanan Chezy (C), Koefisien Darcy-Weisbach (f), atau faktor kekasaran Manning (n), dan parameter gradien alas saluran (i). Penelitian bertujuan untuk menghitung dan memodelkan desain saluran, serta menyediakan alat atau media praktis dan mudah digunakan. Metode yang dilakukan adalah dengan menerapkan formula perhitungan Chezy, Darchy-Weisbach, dan Manning untuk berbagai bentuk saluran menggunakan perangkat lunak Microsoft Excel. Penentuan nilai faktor tahanan Chezy (C), Koefisien Darcy-Weisbach (f), dapat dihubungkan dari faktor kekasaran Manning (n). Koefisien kekasaran Manning (n) dapat diperkirakan dari ukuran partikel material penyusun alas saluran (d) menggunakan formula, maupun mengacu kepada tabel faktor kekasaran Manning. Penelitian ini menghasilkan alat untuk menghitung dan memodelkan desain saluran terbuka “Kalkulator Desain Saluran – FAR”. Penulis mengusulkan formula baru untuk memperkirakan nilai faktor kekasaran Manning (n) dari ukuran partikel material penyusun alas saluran (d). Selain itu, penulis mengusulkan formula untuk menghitung langsung tinggi air dalam penampang geometri saluran (y). Formula tersebut diperoleh dengan memasukkan koefisien α yang berdasar dari hubungan antar parameter geometri saluran kedalam formula Chezy, Darchy-Weisbach, dan Manning.

Kompleksitas permasalahan yang ditimbulkan Merkuri terhadap lingkungan hidup dan manusia. Merkuri memiliki sifat dan karakteristik yang dapat dimanfaatkan mengekstraksi Emas dari bijih Emas dengan menggunakan metode amalgamasi. Metode amalgamasi adalah cara yang paling mudah untuk mengekstraksi Emas dari bijih Emas.Metode amalgamasi menggunakan gelundung/tromol yang berisi bola-bola/batang-batang baja untuk melakukan crushing dan grinding bijih Emas (proses liberasi/pembebasan mineral-mineral Emas dari induknya) dalam media air. Merkuri ditambahkan ke dalam gelundung-gelundung tersebut untuk mengikat butiran-butiran Emas yang sudah terlepas dari induknya dalam bentuk amalgam. Merkuri sangat mudah mengikat butiran-butiran Emas, karena secara alami Merkuri memiliki afinitas yang tinggi terhadap Emas. Penggunaan Merkuri untuk mengekstrak Emas memang sangat mudah dilakukan. Tetapi, di sisi lain, Merkuri dapat menimbulkan dampak negatif terhadap lingkungan dan manusia yang menjadi permasalahan global dan internasional. Permasalahan Merkuri terhadap lingkungan dan manusia tidak dapat hanya ditangani oleh suatu negara,tetapi membutuhkan solusi permasalahan melalui kerjasama global dan internasional (antar negara-negara di dunia).

BackgroundThe nature and timing of the host immune response during infections remain uncertain and most knowledge is derived from critically ill sepsis patients. We aimed to test the hypothesis that community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is associated with concurrent immune suppression and systemic inflammation.MethodsBlood was collected from 79 CAP patients within 24 h after hospitalization and 1 month after discharge; 42 age- and sex-matched subjects without acute infection served as controls. Blood leukocytes were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or Klebsiella pneumoniae, and cytokines were measured in supernatants. Fifteen plasma biomarkers reflective of key host response pathways were compared between CAP patients with the strongest immune suppression (lowest 25% blood leukocyte tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α production in response to LPS) and those with the least immune suppression (highest 25% of LPS-induced TNF-α production).ResultsBlood leukocytes of CAP patients (relative to control subjects) showed a reduced capacity to release TNF-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 upon stimulation with LPS or K. pneumoniae, with a concurrently enhanced ability to release the anti-inflammatory mediator IL-1 receptor antagonist, irrespective of the presence of sepsis (18.9% of cases). Low (relative to high) TNF-α producers displayed higher plasma levels of biomarkers reflecting systemic inflammation, neutrophil degranulation, endothelial cell activation, a disturbed vascular barrier function and coagulation activation.ConclusionCAP replicates a common feature of immune suppression in sepsis. The coexistence of immune suppression and hyperinflammation in CAP argues against the theory of two distinct phases during the host response to sepsis.

Negotiating Trade: Merchant Manuals and Cross-Cultural Exchange in the Medieval Mediterranean
Authors: Stanley Joseph F. 
Published: May 2020

This essay explores Italian mercantile perceptions of the non-western Mediterranean world during the late Middle Ages. In particular, it analyzes the corpus of merchant manuals known as pratiche della mercatura and argues that the intercultural and cross-confessional material included in these handbooks were vital components that helped facilitate trade across ethno-religious frontiers in the Arab-Turkic regions. This paper opens with an examination of the “traditional” manual genre, with particular emphasis on Francesco Pegolotti’s Libro di divisamenti di paesi (c. 1310-40). Pegolotti and other pratiche compilers proffered practical counsel on linguistic exchange, local folklore and customs, and resourceful intermediaries (dragomans) that could accommodate cultural assimilation for the trader abroad. The remainder of the essay builds on the fruitful historiographical shifts of recent years and identifies two additional manuals: Leonardo Frescobaldi’s Viaggio in Egitto(c. 1390) and Goro Dati’s Sfera(c. 1435). These texts, cascaded to a wide merchant audience, include striking language on the common theological underpinnings of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. These two authors, and specifically Dati, also highlight the complex character of the Italian merchant and reveal that economic self-interest helped construct common ground across major barriers of faith in the medieval Mediterranean.
Student Outcomes Associated with Short-term and Semester Study Abroad Programs

Published: May 2020

This five-year study of graduating seniors at Elon University (n=1,858) compared student outcomes measured by the National Survey of Student Engagement across five study abroad groups: no study abroad, semester, short-term (3-week), two short-terms, and semester plus short-term. Both short-term and semester programs were positively associated with how students rate their overall educational experience and whether they would attend the same institution again. However, students who participated in semester programs reported better outcomes in numerous categories: contributing to class discussion, including diverse perspectives in discussions and assignments, synthesis of ideas, less rote memorization of course material, empathy,acquiring a broad general education,critical thinking,and working effectively with others. There was less compelling evidence of better outcomes from a second short-term program or one taken in addition to a semester program. Overall, short-term programs clearly have value, but semester programs are associated with significantly better outcomes overall.
Stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex impacts conflict resolution in Level-1 visual perspective taking

Published: May 2020

AbstractTheory of mind is the ability to understand others’ beliefs, mental states, and knowledge. Perspective-taking is a key part of this capacity, and while previous research has suggested that calculating another’s perspective is relatively straightforward, executive function is required to resolve the conflict between the self and that other perspective. Previous studies have shown that theory of mind is selectively impaired by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). However, it has been hitherto unclear as to which specific aspect of perspective-taking is impacted. The current study administered rTMS (N = 31 adult participants) to the DLPFC (active condition) and vertex (control condition) in a within-subjects design. Participants completed a L1 VPT task after each stimulation session, and focus (relative performance on self-perspective trials compared with other perspective trials) and conflict indices (relative ability to resolve competing self/other perspectives) were calculated. Results showed that stimulation of the DLPFC selectively impaired the conflict index, suggesting that the DLPFC may be causally related with the resolution of conflict between self and other perspectives, and that self-other interference may rely on domain-general processes.
Is the Expansion of the Universe Accelerating? All Signs Still Point to Yes: A Local Dipole Anisotropy Cannot Explain Dark Energy
Authors: Rubin D. , Heitlauf J. 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) provided the first strong evidence that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. With SN samples now more than ten times larger than those used for the original discovery, and joined by other cosmological probes, this discovery is on even firmer ground. Two recent, related, studies (N16 and C19) have claimed to undermine the statistical significance of the SN Ia constraints. Rubin & Hayden (RH16) showed N16 made an incorrect assumption about the distributions of SN Ia light-curve parameters, while C19 also fails to remove the impact of the motion of the solar system from the SN redshifts, interpreting the resulting errors as evidence of a dipole in the deceleration parameter. Building on RH16, we outline the errors C19 make in their treatment of the data and inference on cosmological parameters. Reproducing the C19 analysis with our proposed fixes, we find that the dipole parameters have little effect on the inferred cosmological parameters. We thus affirm the conclusion of RH16: the evidence for acceleration is secure.
Solar Flare Modified Complex Network

Published: May 2020

Abstract
A constructive approach is developed to build the solar flare complex network by utilizing a visibility graph condition alongside the Abe–Suzuki method. Solar flare information such as position, start time, and peak flux is used for this purpose. The obtained characteristics of the topological features (such as the characteristic path length, power-law behavior of the probability distribution function of degrees, and the clustering coefficient) demonstrate the scale-free and small-world properties of the solar flare modified network. To explain the complexity of the constructed network, Omori’s law as well as the universal scaling features are investigated. Furthermore, a nonextensive modification of the Gutenberg–Richter law is examined for the solar flare modified network using a q-stretched exponential model. Establishing a two-dimensional map for the configuration of 118 energetic main flares observed between 2006 and 2016, it is found that the main flares are located within the regions consisting of hubs (high-connectivity regions) of the network. A fractal dimension of the solar flare network of about 0.79 is also obtained.
Successful treatment of extreme drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection following a liver transplant

Published: May 2020

Orthotopic liver transplantation is a life-saving procedure for patients with end-stage liver failure. However, Acinetobacter baumannii infections and acute rejection are important causes of morbidity and mortality following transplants. Here we present a case report of a cadaveric donor liver transplantation with infectious complications detected after transplantation.
The patient was a 64-year-old female. Because of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis due to hepatic insufficiency (model for end-stage liver disease (MELD): 12; Child-Pugh: 9B), liver transplantation from a cadaveric donor was performed. Following the transplantation, the patient developed a blood stream infection, urinary tract infection (UTI) and postoperative wound infection from biliary leakage. A. baumannii was isolated from blood, urine and wound cultures. Imipenem (4×500 mg), tigecycline (2×50 mg) and phosphomycin (4×4 g) were administered intravenously (IV). On the 14th day of treatment, the bile fistula closed and there was no bacterial growth in blood and urine cultures. The patient was discharged with full recovery.
The duration of a transplant patient’s hospital stay, intensive care unit stay, invasive interventions, blood transfusions and immunosuppressive treatments cause an increased risk of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) A. baumannii infections, and a high mortality rate is seen despite antibiotic treatment. Phosphomycin, used in combination therapy, may be an alternative in the treatment of XDR pathogens in organ transplant patients, due to its low side effect profile and lack of interaction with immunosuppressives.
