Abstract
The issuance of ESDM (ministry of energy and mineral resources) regulation number 49 of 2018 concerning the use of a rooftop solar power generation system by consumers of PT PLN (Persero). It is encouraging to conduct research on one method of generating electricity using solar panels. The voltage generated in the generation process using solar panels is a direct voltage (DC) and requires an inverter as a voltage converter to be an alternating voltage (AC) which is the daily consumption of Indonesian people. This research aims to develop the use of renewable energy using an inverter. This inverter uses batteries as a source of voltage, Arduino as a source of SPWM waves, and MOSFETs are arranged in a full-bridge configuration to convert 12V DC electricity into 12VAC which will then be filtered using a low-pass filter to pass a 50 Hz frequency and then increase the voltage using a transformer to 220Vmax / 155 Vrms. The result of designing this research is that the inverter is able to produce a sinusoidal wave output 220 Vmax with a frequency of 50 Hz. With the output signal approaching the sinusoidal signal purely from the filter output, the power loss from the use of the transformer causes the power output from the inverter to be not optimal.

Authors: Sha’ameri A Z , Sadiah S , Aris W A Wan , Musa T A 
Published: November 2019

AbstractThe availability of GPS (Global Positioning System) provides an alternative technology to seismography to detect earthquakes and detect their epicenters. However, the limited sampling rate and processing errors could potentially reduce the accuracy for estimating the required signal parameters. This paper evaluates the methods for analysing GPS derived seismic signals from the 2004 Sumatra Andaman Earthquake based on their timerepresentation, power spectrum and time-frequency representation. Between the three representations, the parameters of the earthquake signals such as P-wave and S-wave are clearly represented on the time-frequency representation.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the most important carbohydrate food source in third place within the tropical regions, after rice and maize. One of the derived products is fermented cassava flour which is processed using cell modification of cassava. The focus of this study was to compare the effect of fermentation using Saccharomyces cereviseae and Rhizopus oryzae in the production of fermented cassava flour. Physicochemical properties of fermented cassava flour using Saccharomyces cereviseae were then determined and compared with the fermented cassava flour using Rhizopus oryzae. The results showed that the fermented cassava flour using Rhizopus oryzae had yield 34.89%, moisture content 8.34%, starch content 49.11% and whiteness 82.49%. The results microstructure analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy showed an alteration in the starch granules of fermented cassava flour using Saccharomyces cereviseae. When compared to the fermented cassava flour using Rhizopus oryzae, it had a lower whiteness than fermented cassava flour using Saccharomyces cereviseae, which was 83.14%. These results indicate that fermentation on cassava within 72 hours could provide a greater extent of modification cassava flour.

Abstract
Disasters that occur in Indonesia continue to increase from year to year. The National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) noted that throughout 2017 there had been 2,862 disasters. Of these, almost 99 percent are hydrometeorological disasters, namely disasters that are affected by weather and surface flow. The details of the disaster include floods (979), tornadoes (886), landslides (848), forest and land fires (96), drought (19), earthquakes (20), tidal waves and abrasions (11), dam volcanic eruptions (3). The western part of Java Island includes three provinces namely West Java Province, DKI Jakarta Province, and Banten Province. Of the three provinces, they are no stranger to hearing floods, especially in the capital city of Jakarta and West Java. Flood problems until now have not been resolved completely even the problem of floods is the tendency to increase both in terms of intensity, frequency, and distribution due to climate change. Based on the above conditions, it is necessary to do a study that can provide information about the main causal factors and predict areas that are likely to experience floods. In achieving these objectives, this study uses a mathematical model of logistic regression analysis and application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) conducted based on the variables that cause flooding, namely rainfall, topography, slope, flow accumulation, land use, and distance to the nearest river. The modelling results obtained an accuracy rate for predicting flood disasters in the study area using logistic regression which was between 85.05% - 94.39%.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Predicting the response of cancer cell lines to specific drugs is one of the central problems in personalized medicine, where the cell lines show diverse characteristics. Researchers have developed a variety of computational methods to discover associations between drugs and cell lines, and improved drug sensitivity analyses by integrating heterogeneous biological data. However, choosing informative data sources and methods that can incorporate multiple sources efficiently is the challenging part of successful analysis in personalized medicine. The reason is that finding decisive factors of cancer and developing methods that can overcome the problems of integrating data, such as differences in data structures and data complexities, are difficult. In this review, we summarize recent advances in data integration-based machine learning for drug response prediction, by categorizing methods as matrix factorization-based, kernel-based and network-based methods. We also present a short description of relevant databases used as a benchmark in drug response prediction analyses, followed by providing a brief discussion of challenges faced in integrating and interpreting data from multiple sources. Finally, we address the advantages of combining multiple heterogeneous data sources on drug sensitivity analysis by showing an experimental comparison. Contact: betul.guvenc@aalto.fi
Diversity of rhodopsins in cultivated bacteria of the family Geodermatophilaceae associated with non-aquatic environments

Published: November 2019

Abstract

Motivation
A small amount of research is focused on investigation of rhodopsins in cultivated bacteria isolated from non-aquatic environments. Furthermore, the abundance of these proteins in strains from hot and arid habitats was not reported previously. Since there is an insignificant amount of such isolates, the enigmatic role of the rhodopsins in dry ecological niches is still poorly understood. The members of the family Geodermatophilaceae could be used as interesting objects to search for new rhodopsin genes that will provide novel insights into versatility and importance of these proteins in non-aquatic conditions.

Results
This is the first report of the abundance of different rhodopsins in cultivated bacteria isolated from hot and arid ecological niches. A total of 31 rhodopsin genes were identified in 51 analyzed genomes of strains belonging to the family Geodermatophilaceae. Overall, 88% of the strains harbouring rhodopsins are isolated from non-aquatic environments. It was found that 82% of strains belonging to the genus Geodermatophilus have at least one gene as compared to 38% of strains of other genera which contain rhodopsins. Analysis of key amino acids revealed two types of the studied proteins: DTE type (putative proton pump) and NDQ type (putative sodium pump). Proton pumps were divided into two subtypes (DTEW and DTEF) according to phylogenetic analysis and the presence of highly conserved tryptophan or phenylalanine at position 182. Among all studied rhodopsins DTEF subtype is the most unique one, identified only in this family.

Placental serotonin signaling, pregnancy outcomes, and regulation of fetal brain development†
Authors: Rosenfeld Cheryl S 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The placenta is a transient organ but essential for the survival of all mammalian species by allowing for the exchanges of gasses, nutrients, and waste between maternal and fetal placenta. In rodents and humans with a hemochorial placenta, fetal placenta cells are susceptible to pharmaceutical agents and other compounds, as they are bathed directly in maternal blood. The placenta of mice and humans produce high concentrations of serotonin (5-HT) that can induce autocrine and paracrine effects within this organ. Placental 5-HT is the primary source of this neurotransmitter for fetal brain development. Increasing number of pregnant women at risk of depression are being treated with selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) that bind to serotonin transporters (SERT), which prevents 5-HT binding and cellular internalization, allowing for accumulation of extracellular 5-HT available to bind to 5-HT(2A) receptor (5-HT(2A)R). In vitro and in vivo findings with SSRI or pharmacological blockage of the 5-HT(2A)R reveal disruptions of 5-HT signaling within the placenta can affect cell proliferation, division, and invasion. In SERT knockout mice, numerous apoptotic trophoblast cells are observed, as well as extensive pathological changes within the junctional zone. Collective data suggest a fine equilibrium in 5-HT signaling is essential for maintaining normal placental structure and function. Deficiencies in placental 5-HT may also result in neurobehavioral abnormalities. Evidence supporting 5-HT production and signaling within the placenta will be reviewed. We will consider whether placental hyposerotonemia or hyperserotonemia results in similar pathophysiological changes in the placenta and other organs. Lastly, open ended questions and future directions will be explored.
Gonad development and reproductive hormones of invasive silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) in the Illinois River

Published: November 2019

AbstractReproduction is a major component of an animal’s life history strategy. Species with plasticity in their reproductive biology are likely to be successful as an invasive species, as they can adapt their reproductive effort during various phases of a biological invasion. Silver carp (Hypophthalmicthys molitrix), an invasive cyprinid in North America, display wide variation in reproductive strategies across both their native and introduced ranges, though the specifics of silver carp reproduction in the Illinois River have not been established. We assessed reproductive status using histological and endocrinological methods in silver carp between April and October 2018, with additional histological data from August to October 2017. Here, we show that female silver carp are batch spawners with asynchronous, indeterminate oocyte recruitment, while male silver carp utilize a determinate pattern of spermatogenesis which ceases in the early summer. High plasma testosterone levels in females could be responsible for regulating oocyte development. Our results suggest that silver carp have high spawning activity in the early summer (May–June), but outside of the peak spawning period, female silver carp can maintain spawning-capable status by adjusting rates of gametogenesis and atresia in response to environmental conditions, while males regress their gonads as early as July. The results of this study are compared to reports of silver carp reproduction in other North American rivers as well as in Asia.
Increased uterine artery blood flow in hypoxic murine pregnancy is not sufficient to prevent fetal growth restriction†

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Incomplete maternal vascular responses to pregnancy contribute to pregnancy complications including intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preeclampsia. We aimed to characterize maternal vascular dysfunction in a murine model of fetal growth restriction as an approach toward identifying targetable pathways for improving pregnancy outcomes. We utilized a murine model of late-gestation hypoxia-induced IUGR that reduced E18.5 fetal weight by 34%. Contrary to our hypothesis, uterine artery blood flow as measured in vivo by Doppler ultrasound was increased in mice housed under hypobaric hypoxia (385 mmHg; 5500 m) vs normoxia (760 mmHg; 0 m). Using wire myography, uterine arteries isolated from hypoxic mice had similar vasodilator responses to the two activators A769662 and acetylcholine as those from normoxic mice, although the contribution of an increase in nitric oxide production to uterine artery vasodilation was reduced in the hypoxic vs normoxic groups. Vasoconstrictor responses to phenylephrine and potassium chloride were unaltered by hypoxia. The levels of activated adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) were reduced with hypoxia in both the uterine artery and placenta as measured by western blot and immunohistochemistry. We concluded that the rise in uterine artery blood flow may be compensatory to hypoxia but was not sufficient to prevent fetal growth restriction. Although AMPK signaling was reduced by hypoxia, AMPK was still receptive to pharmacologic activation in the uterine arteries in which it was a potent vasodilator. Thus, AMPK activation may represent a new therapy for pregnancy complications involving reduced uteroplacental perfusion.
Transcript profiling of bovine embryos implicates specific transcription factors in the maternal-to-embryo transition

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Full-grown oocytes are transcriptionally quiescent. Following maturation and fertilization, the early stages of embryonic development occur in the absence (or low levels) of transcription that results in a period of development relying on maternally derived products (e.g., mRNAs and proteins). Two critical steps occur during the transition from maternal to embryo control of development: maternal mRNA clearance and embryonic genome activation with an associated dramatic reprogramming of gene expression required for further development. By combining an RNA polymerase II inhibitor with RNA sequencing, we were able not only to distinguish maternally derived from embryonic transcripts in bovine preimplantation embryos but also to establish that embryonic gene activation is required for clearance of maternal mRNAs as well as to identify putative transcription factors that are likely critical for early bovine development.
Strangers in the Field: An Ethnographic Exploration of Men’s Accounts of Intimate Partner Violence in a Treatment Group
Authors: Sörmark Mira 
Published: November 2019

AbstractResearchers have investigated violent men’s accounts of intimate partner violence and have, to various extent, emphasised self-presentation, external structures and lived experiences as understandings for these accounts. Through an ethnographic exploration of a treatment group for men who have been violent towards their female partners, I explore how we can understand the accounts of the violence. Similar to previous findings, this study initially lends support to a Goffmanian interpretation of the accounts as ‘remedial work’, highlighting how the members negotiate the moral meaning of offences by transferring culpability for violence to female partners. However, through an extended presence in the studied context, I discovered aspects of the therapeutic conversation which may challenge this interpretation. I use Bourdieu’s concept of the habitus and analyse the accounts as a product of embodied dispositions. As such, the accounts do not harmonise with the structures of the late modern field of gender relations, dominated by ideals of equal intimate relations. I interpret the accounts as habitual and restricted. Finally, I argue that different understandings of the accounts give rise to different treatment options for social work and that factors such as lived experiences may contribute insights into why men use violence towards female partners.
Development of inflorescences and flowers in Fabaceae subfamily Dialioideae: an evolutionary overview and complete ontogenetic series for Apuleia and Martiodendron

Published: November 2019

AbstractThe goal of this study was to better understand the origin and development of flowers and inflorescences in the newly established subfamily Dialioideae, an unusual and morphologically variable clade of Fabaceae due to its varied levels of floral reduction. We present here the complete ontogenetic series for two species characterizing different levels of floral reduction: Apuleia leiocarpa, an andromonoecious species with trimerous flowers; and Martiodendron fluminense, a species lacking the inner whorl of stamens. We also performed a literature review and herbarium specimen survey of the inflorescence and floral morphology of the other 15 genera in Dialioideae. Among the exclusive traits of Apuleia found here are the absence of two sepals and petals from initiation, the simultaneous initiation of the sepals (never before documented for Dialioideae), the absence of carpel initiation in staminate flowers and the formation of the carpel in the staminal whorl of monoclinous flowers, with the presence of a nectariferous hypanthium in both flower types. In Martiodendron the two exclusive traits are the heteromorphic development of stamens of the outer whorl, with the abaxial one being the last to elongate, and the possible initiation of an inner staminal whorl, which stops developing immediately thereafter and is no longer visible at anthesis. Among the potential synapomorphies for the subfamily are the absence of bracteoles and a pair of bracts subtending a triad of flowers or inflorescence axes, the distichous anthotaxy of the thyrsoid inflorescences, the bidirectional initiation of the sepals and the simultaneous initiation of the stamens.
Strong genetic structure in Dyckia excelsa (Bromeliaceae), an endangered species found on ironstone outcrops in Pantanal, Brazil
Authors: Ruas Renata De Barros , Paggi Gecele Matos , Aguiar-Melo Camila , Hirsch Luiza Domingues , Bered Fernanda 
Published: November 2019

AbstractThe plant communities associated with iron-rich outcrops are still little known about to their genetic structure and diversity. Outcrops are often considered to be ‘terrestrial islands’, and gene ﬂow among populations on different outcrops is presumed to be hampered by the isolation effect provided by the surrounding matrix. Here, we studied the genetic diversity and structure of populations of Dyckia excelsa to test the hypothesis that the disjunction of the ironstone outcrops where this species occurs promotes its highly structured genetic variability. Seven nuclear microsatellite markers and two plastid DNA intergenic spacers (rps16-trnK and rpl32-trnL) were used to characterize individuals from seven locations in the region of Urucum Residual Plateau, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil. These markers low haplotype and allelic diversity and high levels of genetic divergence among outcrops, indicating prolonged genetic isolation, with diversification of haplotypes dating from the Pleistocene (1.0 Mya). Pollen movement may occur between neighbouring populations, resulting in a pattern of isolation-by-distance. For conservation purposes, it is recommended that D. excelsa be preserved in situ in each specific location given the low levels of gene ﬂow and the high degree of genetic uniqueness in each group of populations investigated.
Grrrl Revlonution: Cosmetics, Ugly Beauty, and Grrrling Women in Emma Forrest’s Cherries in the Snow and Thin Skin
Authors: Sormus Megan 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Thin Skin (2002) and Cherries in the Snow (2005) are coming-of-age novels set in reverse. This is to be expected when considered in conjunction with the “needy and attention seeking” narratives so typical of Emma Forrest’s oeuvre (Forrest, Thin Skin 123). Alighting on a deliberate confusion of girlhood and womanhood, both novels anticipate a contemporary (and postfeminist) rhetoric that, as Stephanie Harzewski identifies, is “uncomfortable with female adulthood itself, casting all women as girls to some extent” (9). As Forrest’s protagonists all carry an unease about being grown-up, despite the fact that they are grown-up, her work makes a timely intervention that both celebrates (and problematizes) the postfeminist trend and cultural phenomenon of girling women in the twenty-first century. Thin Skin, even down to its title, alludes to the simultaneous and often volatile encounters of girlish and grown-up, ugly and beautiful feminine identities through its twenty-something failed actress and self-proclaimed fucked-up girl, Ruby. In Cherries in the Snow, grown women are resold their former grrrlishness through the ugly makeup central to the fictional cosmetic company, Grrrl Cosmetics. In both novels, the girl/grrrl is instrumentalized by Forrest to tinker with established structures of feminine identity. I examine the extent to which the grrrling of women is politically, socially, or culturally progressive: does it really change anything or suggest a pathway to change? Or is it evidence not of resistance or rebellion but of a predictable tinkering with interpretations of femininity that have gained traction in contemporary consumer culture.
