Published: September 2020

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan lama masa kering dengan produksi susu dan puncak laktasi pada sapi FH. Materi yang digunakan adalah data sekunder dari pencatatan recording 189 ekor sapi FH pada PT. Greenfields Indonesia di Desa Babadan Kecamatan Ngajum Kabupaten Malang. Analisis pengaruh lama masa kering terhadap produksi susu dan puncak laktasi dilakukan dengan menggunakan analisis regresi linier. Hasil analisis regresi menunjukkan bahwa hubungan lama masa kering terhadap produksi susu berpengaruh signifikan (P<0,05) dengan persamaan regresi Y = 28,31 – 1,26 X sedangkan dengan puncak laktasi menunjukkan hubungan yang tidak berpengaruh (P>0,05). Lama masa kering menentukan produksi susu pada sapi perah dengan masa kering yang ideal 55- 60 hari dimana semakin lama masa kering maka produksi susu akan menurun.

ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dry period length on milk production and peak milk yield of the Friesian Holstein (FH) dairy cows. Data on milk production from 189 FH cows raised at PT. Greenfields Indonesia were collected and subjected to linier regression analysis. The results showed that dry period length significantly (P<0.05) on affected milk production with regression equation of Y = 28.31 – 1.26 X, but had no significant effect (P.0.05) on peak milk yield. The optimal length of dry period was observed between 55 and 60 days. Milk production decreased with the increasing length of dry period above 55-60 days.

Published: September 2020

ABSTRACTA distinctive burrow form, Reniformichnus australis n. isp., is described from strata immediately overlying and transecting the end-Permian extinction (EPE) horizon in the Sydney Basin, eastern Australia. Although a unique excavator cannot be identified, these burrows were probably produced by small cynodonts based on comparisons with burrows elsewhere that contain body fossils of the tracemakers. The primary host strata are devoid of plant remains apart from wood and charcoal fragments, sparse fungal spores, and rare invertebrate traces indicative of a very simplified terrestrial ecosystem characterizing a ‘dead zone' in the aftermath of the EPE. The high-paleolatitude (∼ 65–75°S) setting of the Sydney Basin, together with its higher paleoprecipitation levels and less favorable preservational potential, is reflected by a lower diversity of vertebrate fossil burrows and body fossils compared with coeval continental interior deposits of the mid-paleolatitude Karoo Basin, South Africa. Nevertheless, these burrows reveal the survivorship of small tetrapods in considerable numbers in the Sydney Basin immediately following the EPE. A fossorial lifestyle appears to have provided a selective advantage for tetrapods enduring the harsh environmental conditions that arose during the EPE. Moreover, high-paleolatitude and maritime settings may have provided important refugia for terrestrial vertebrates at a time of lethal temperatures at low-latitudes and aridification of continental interiors.

Published: September 2020

Com base na metodologia orientada à abordagem da gestão de processos, desenvolvida a partir de Rotondaro (2005), Bouer (2005) e Paim et al. (2009), o objetivo central deste artigo é analisar o processo de elaboração do projeto de lei ordinária (PLO) numa Câmara Legislativa Local com o intuito de identificar problemas operacionais e propor melhorias. Usamos métodos como entrevistas semiestruturadas, reuniões, técnica do brainstorming, pesquisa documental e dados secundários de controle dos projetos de leis produzidos pelos departamentos organizacionais envolvidos no estudo. Como principais resultados, foi possível identificar uma estrutura funcional por processos transversais que coloca o cidadão/usuário como personagem central. Também foi possível perceber a interferência de questões políticas e culturais típicas da administração pública do Nordeste, que intervêm no processo de criação do projeto de lei ordinária analisado. Diante do principal problema observado, a saber, a ausência de uma análise prévia dos projetos de lei, culminando no alto índice de rejeição, foi proposta uma nova fase ao processo detalhado por meio de fluxograma.

Published: September 2020

Este trabalho investigou a relação entre deslistagem voluntária e estrutura de propriedade/controle, em especial se as estruturas piramidais de controle impactam na probabilidade de deslistagem no Brasil. A amostra do estudo envolveu todas as empresas listadas na B3 no período de 2012 a 2017, período em que foram registradas 153 deslistagens voluntárias no país. O método selecionado foi a regressão logística, dado que a variável dependente – deslistagem voluntária – é binária. Como principais resultados, constatou-se uma relação negativa entre deslistagem e tamanho da firma e entre deslistagem e liquidez da ação. Por sua vez, detectou-se relação positiva entre fechamento de capital e disponibilidade de caixa. Entretanto, não se observaram efeitos significativos entre deslistagem e estrutura de propriedade e controle para as firmas brasileiras.

Abstract
Background: Maternal death surveillance and response (MDSR) is the “litmus test” of the health system that provides evidence for accomplishment, links activities to results, makes maternal death visible at all levels, informs communities & health workers, increases country ownership of data, provides information in real time and allows improvement towards catching all maternal mortalities. The aim of study was to evaluate maternal death surveillance and response system in Dewachefa. Methods: A cross sectional study design was conducted in two health centers, five health post, district health office and from these facilities 32 health workers were included. Data were collected through focal person, health worker and health extension worker interview by using checklist. Collected data were entered into Epi data version 3.1. These data were exported to statistical package for social science for analysis. Analyzed data were presented in the form of text, table and figures. Result: The average completeness of weekly report form of the district was 77.4%. Twenty-eight (87.5%) of the health worker had not got Maternal death surveillance and response (MDSR) training. All visited health facilities and Woredas focal person were trained. The system had under notification of maternal death from the community, poor involvement of health facility staff, and discordance of data between public health emergency management, and maternal and newborn health unit report. Establish rapid response team that includes maternal and child health staff’s maternal death review committees in all health facilities.

Abstract
Background: En bloc right hemicolectomy with pancreaticoduodenectomy (RHCPD) is the optimum treatment to achieve the adequate margin of resection (R0) for locally advanced right-sided colon cancer (LARCC). Information regarding the indications and outcomes of this procedure is limited.Method: In this retrospective study, patients who underwent RHCPD for LARCC during October 2010 to May 2019 were identified. The overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), mortality, postsurgical complications, gene mutational analysis, and prognostic factors were evaluated. Survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meir method.Results: Nineteen patients who underwent RHCPD were included in the study. The OS was 88.2%, 65.9%, and 57.6% at 1, 3, and 5 years. The DFS was 71.6%, 56.4%, and 56.4% at 1, 3, and 5 years. The median operative time was 320 minutes (range: 222-410 minutes), and the median operative blood loss was 268 mL (range: 100-600 mL). The OS was significantly better among patients with well-differentiated tumor (P=0.03), N0 stage (P=0.01), and high microsatellite instability (MSI) (P=0.047) and in patients who received chemotherapy (P=0.027). The major postoperative complications occurred in 8 patients (42%), with pancreatic fistula (PF) being the most common. On the basis of the univariate analysis, poorly differentiated tumor, regional lymph node dissemination, MSI status, and no perioperative chemotherapy were the significant predictors of poor survival (P<0.05). By multivariate analysis, only lymph node status was the significant factor (hazard ratio [HR]: 79.045; P=0.021).Conclusions: This study suggests that RHCPD is feasible and can achieve complete tumor clearance with favorable outcome, particularly in patients with lymph node-negative status.

Abstract
Background: The increasing awareness about climate change and the adverse effects of global mean temperature increasing beyond +1.5 ∘ C above pre-industrial levels resulted in a historic international climate agreement in December 2015 in Paris. Countries around the globe published their intended Nationally Determined Contributions (hereafter iNDCs)–converted into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), committing to take actions post-2020 to tackle global warming, mainly to mitigate greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. The Brazilian NDC established absolute emissions targets of 1.3 GtCO 2 e by 2025 and of 1.2 GtCO 2 e by 2030 (GWP-100, AR5), corresponding to reductions of 37% and 43%, respectively, compared to 2005. In this work, we studied the role that each economic sector can play to meet the Brazilian NDC through an integrated assessment modeling (IAM) approach. Results: The analysis showed that the AFOLU (Agriculture, Forestry and Land-Use) sector would contribute with mitigation amounts of 25.5 MtCO 2 e in 2025 and 145.8 MtCO 2 e in 2030, considering implementation of no-regret abatement measures (LC0) and LC10 scenario, which implies an economic effort to internalize a carbon price of US$ 10/tCO 2 e in the economy, respectively. Potential emissions reductions in the energy system would contribute to the mitigation of 60.4 MtCO 2 e in 2025 and 211.1 MtCO 2 e in 2030. Additionally, we identified critical measures with higher mitigation potential, for instance, commercially planted forests, integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems, no-tillage systems, biological nitrogen fixation application, intensification of livestock production through cattle confinement, deforestation reduction, expansion of native vegetation, and degraded pastures recovery in the AFOLU sector. Regarding the energy system, the integrated modeling demonstrated high mitigation potential in measures related to energy efficiency in the industry, waste management, and transport sectors; as well as a modal shift from individual to collective passenger transport and highways to railways and waterways to load transportation, and energy utilization of urban solid waste and effluent of treatment plants for the production of biomethane and electricity. Conclusions: Projected emissions for 2025 demonstrate that the NDC target for this year could be achieved with the LC0 scenario (carbon value equal to zero) implementation, while the NDC target for 2030 could be achieved by implementing the LC10 scenario in 2030.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background: Intestinal stricture is a complication of Crohn’s disease (CD) due to fibrosis, but there are no biomarkers for predicting intestinal strictures before clinical obstruction. It is reported that several types of lymphocytes (LC) are involved in the pathogenesis of intestinal fibrosis. However, few studies have focused on the peripheral blood LC in patients with CD associated stricture.Aim：To analyze the relationships between peripheral blood inflammatory markers especially LC and CD to provide evidence for CD diagnosis and therapy. Methods: A total of 158 CD patients who underwent single-balloon enteroscopy from January 2016 to June 2019 in Jinling Hospital were retrospectively enrolled. The Montreal classification, maintenance medicines, CD activity index (CDAI), simple endoscopic score for CD (SES-CD), full blood count and C-reactive protein (CRP) level were recorded. The relationships among peripheral blood inflammatory markers, disease activity and intestinal strictures were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. Results: After excluding 8 patients treated with azathioprine, which severely affects blood counts, 150 patients were divided into two groups: a stricture group (n=82) and non-stricture group (n=68). LC and the proportion of lymphocytes (LC%) were significantly lower in the stricture group than in the non-stricture group, p was 0.000 and 0.018, respectively, and LC was an independent risk factor of stricture lesion. In the subgroup analysis, 30 strictures without obstruction were classified as mild strictures, and 52 cases of obstruction were in the severe stricture group. LC notably decreased following stricture aggravation, p=0.000. The area under the curve (AUC) of LC predicting strictures was 0.711 with sensitivity of 73.5% and a specificity of 63.4% (cutoff: 1.245). Conclusion: LC gradually decreases as intestinal strictures aggravated and could be a new marker for predicting intestinal strictures in CD patients.

Abstract
Background: The metabolic syndrome (MetSx) is a group of risk factors interconnected with cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes, major morbidity and mortality causes globally and in Mexico. More than a thousand million individuals in the world were found with MetSx in 2018, and the last national investigation in Mexico on this condition carried out in 2006 registered a prevalence of 49.8% in adults. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of MetSx in Mexican adults, the degree of association with risk factors, and its trends in the period 2006 to 2016. Methods: We gathered and analyzed sociodemographic, clinical, dietary, and physical activity data from 8,626 adults aged ≥20 years who participated in the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey Mid-way 2016 (ENSANUT MC-2016). To define MetSx, we used the harmonized diagnosis criteria as the main instrument. Other classification systems were also used to complement our analysis. To identify the prevalence trends of MetSx, we compared information of ENSANUT-2006 with that of ENSANUT-2016.Results: The prevalence of MetSx in Mexican adults was of 60.5% (57.9% in men and 63.2% in women). The proportion of subjects with a least one MetSx component was of 95.3% and with at least two components was of 21.3%. The most frequent combination of three MetSx components was the cluster of abdominal obesity, low HDL-cholesterol, and hypertriglyceridemia (16%). In comparison with the MetSx prevalence reported in ENSANUT-2006, the prevalence of this condition in ENSANUT-2016 increased 15.3%.Conclusions: A high prevalence of MetSx was registered in Mexico in 2016, and an increased trend of this condition during the period 2006 to 2016 was observed. This study shows the necessity to improve prevention and diagnosis programs for MetSx and its components, as well as the need to adopt a healthy lifestyle in the highest risk population in order to achieve corrections and reductions in associated susceptible risk factors.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background: Malaria is one of the major health problems in Sudan with high prevalence among children under five years age and pregnant women. Effective control of the disease needs contribution of the community, health authorities as well as political commitment. This research was conducted to assess the public’s knowledge, and practice regarding malaria prevention and treatment.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among publics in Khartoum State. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Publics were assessed for their knowledge about malaria symptoms and complications, knowledge and utilization of prevention methods and drugs knowledge and treatment behaviors.Results: About 457 of the public participated in the survey. Despite that the publics showed good knowledge regarding malaria symptoms, complications and drugs knowledge, self-treatment practices were there. Noncompliance to treatment in form of stopping treatment upon symptoms relieve and upon developing adverse drug reactions was also reported. Underuse of prevention methods was reported.Conclusions: Inappropriate treatment and prevention practices among the community could be an obstacle in the way of malaria elimination in Sudan. More efforts towards involvement of the community in malaria control through community education are needed.
The Positive Feedback Loop Between RLIP76 and HIF-1α Promotes Glycolysis and Tumorigenesis in Glioma Cells Under Hypoxic Conditions

Published: September 2020

Abstract
BackgroundHypoxia is intimately associated with increased glycolysis in gliomas, and HIF-1α plays a critical role in this process. Here, we aim to show that RLIP76 is a novel target of HIF-1α and is involved in hypoxia-enhanced glycolysis in glioma cells. MethodsThe human glioma cell lines U87 and U251 were used to explore the interactions of RLIP76-HIF-1α and RLIP76-VHL using Western blot, a Biotin pull-down assay, Immunoprecipitation, and a Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay under hypoxia. U251 cells pretreated with hypoxia were used for tumor xenografts. ResultsRLIP76 is a novel target of HIF-1α and contributes to hypoxia-enhanced glycolysis in glioma cells. HIF-1α-induced RLIP76 can critically regulate the stability of HIF-1α by alleviating VHL-mediated HIF-1α ubiquitination under hypoxia. RLIP76 interacts with HIF-1α and VHL through an RLIP76 GAP-dependent mechanism. The GAP function of RLIP76 regulates its complex formation because of the dependence of RLIP76 GAP on interactions between RLIP76 and these proteins. RLIP76 knockdown results in decreased U251 cell growth after hypoxia pretreatment in vivo. ConclusionsThis study reveals a positive feedback loop between HIF-1α and RLIP76, suggesting that RLIP76 may undergo a complex series of GAP-dependent interactions with HIF-1α and VHL to protect HIF-1α from degradation while promoting glycolysis under hypoxic conditions. We indicate that RLIP76 is crucial for the regulation of hypoxia-enhanced glycolysis and may provide a new gene therapy approach for glioma patients.

Abstract
Biological macroscopic assemblies have inspired researchers to utilize molecular recognition to develop smart materials in these decades. Recently, macroscopic self-assemblies based on molecular recognition have been realized using millimeter-scale hydrogel pieces possessing molecular recognition moieties. During the study on macroscopic self-assembly based on molecular recognition, we noticed that the shape of assemblies might be dependent on the host–guest pair. In this study, we were thus motivated to study the macroscopic shape of assemblies formed through host–guest interaction. We modified crosslinked poly(sodium acrylate) microparticles, i.e., superabsorbent polymer (SAP) microparticles, with β-cyclodextrin (βCD) and adamantyl (Ad) residues (βCD(x)-SAP and Ad(y)-SAP microparticles, respectively, where x and y denote the mol % contents of βCD and Ad residues). Then, we studied the self-assembly behavior of βCD(x)-SAP and Ad(y)-SAP microparticles through the complexation of βCD with Ad residues. There was a threshold of the βCD content in βCD(x)-SAP microparticles for assembly formation between x = 22.3 and 26.7. On the other hand, the shape of assemblies was dependent on the Ad content, y; More elongated assemblies were formed at a higher y. This may be because, at a higher y, small clusters formed in an early stage can stick together even upon collisions at a single contact point to form elongated aggregates, whereas, at a smaller y, small clusters stick together only upon collisions at multiple contact points to give rather circular assemblies. On the basis of these observations, the shape of assembly formed from microparticles can be controlled by varying y.
