Abstrak. Buah tomat tergolong ke dalam golongan buah klimaterik. Umur simpan buah tomat sangat dipengaruhi oleh keberadaan etilen. Tomat mutan NIL Sletr1-2 adalah generasi baru dari tomat insensitif etilen. Buah dari tomat mutan NIL Sletr1-2 memiliki umur simpan yang lebih lama dari tomat komersial pada umumnyanamun kehilangan fungsi untuk merespon keberadaan etilen dapat berpengaruh kepada pertumbuhan dan perkembangan tanaman, khususnya dalam kondisi cekaman. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efek cekaman kekeringan terhadap dua generasi tomat mutan insensitif etilen (NIL Sletr1-2 dan BC3F1 Sletr1-2), dengan tomat ‘Intan’ sebagai tanaman kontrol. Ketiga tomat tersebut disiram dengan tiga interval waktu yang berbeda, yaitu: setiap hari (kondisi normal), interval tiga hari (cekaman kekeringan moderat), dan interval lima hari (cekaman kekeringan berat). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam kondisi cekaman kekeringan moderat dan berat, respons morfologis (tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, dan panjang akar), dan anatomis (jumlah sel epidermis) kedua generasi tomat mutan lebih buruk dari tetuanya tomat ‘Intan’. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa berkurangnya sensitivitas etilen meningkatkan kerentanan tanaman dalam kondisi cekaman kekeringan, sekaligus memperkuat anggapan bahwa etilen berperan penting dalam ketahanan tanaman terhadap cekaman lingkungan.Kata kunci: Cekaman kekeringan, Etilen, Insensitivitas etilen, Tomat mutan Abstract. Tomato belongs to climacteric fruits, Its fruit shelf life is highly affected by the presence of ethylene. NIL Sletr1-2 tomato is a novel generation of an ethylene insensitive mutant. Its fruit has prolonged fruit shelf life, lasting longer than commercial ones. However, the loss of function in ethylene response would affect plant growth and development, especially under stress conditions. The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of drought stress on two generations of ethylene insensitive tomato mutants (NIL Sletr1-2 and BC3F1 Sletr1-2), with ‘Intan’ as a control plant. Those tomatoes were watered at three different intervals: every day; three days interval; and five days. The results showed that under three and five days watering interval, both generation of ethylene insensitive mutants have reduction in plant morphological response (plant height, number of leaves, and root length) and anatomical response (epidermal cell count), compared to their control, ‘Intan’. These results indicated that reduction in ethylene sensitivity could increase plant susceptibility under drought stress condition, thus solidifying the importance of ethylene in plant defence against environmental stress.Keywords: Drought stress, Ethylene, Ethylene receptor, Tomato mutant
Mediodía. Del sentido del presente en el pensamiento
Authors: Mateos de Manuel Victoria 
Published: April 2021

En este artículo sostengo que la contraposición nietzscheana entre pensamiento —espíritu de la pesadez— y vida —bailes ligeros, pies de muchachas de hermosos tobillos— está articulada en torno a la cuestión de la temporalidad y el ritmo. Esta tensión metafórica que aparece en Así habló Zaratustra contiene la idea de la imposibilidad de la filosofía para sincronizarse con el mundo de la vida y, por tanto, de acontecer simultáneamente a la existencia. A lo largo de su obra, Nietzsche plantea dos posibles tiempos anacrónicos del pensamiento. En primer lugar, la filosofía es siempre pasado: queda como dación de sentido póstumo a la existencia o intensificación ulterior de lo vital. En segundo lugar, el pensamiento es muro de contención a través del tiempo de la inminencia, como plantea su inicial dionisismo filtrado por lo apolíneo. En Así habló Zaratustra, frente a estos dos modos de desfase del pensamiento en relación a lo vital, Nietzsche aporta una nueva propuesta articuladora del tiempo en la filosofía y la posibilidad de su presente: el presente del pensamiento no es el presente de la escritura, sino el de su actualización en la lectura —el país de los hijos—.
Compasión, temor y catarsis. La lectura nietzscheana de Aristóteles
Authors: Abad Alfredo 
Published: April 2021

Desde El nacimiento de la tragedia hasta los Fragmentos póstumos del último periodo, Nietzsche alude a la especificación aristotélica de los efectos trágicos y la catar sis con un categórico rechazo. Sin embargo, estos planteamientos no necesariamente se deben identificar como válidos, al menos en lo concerniente al sentido atribuido a las percepciones aristotélicas que están principalmente contenidas en la Poética. El texto ilustra las referencias establecidas por Nietzsche con el fin de esclarecer su manifiesto crítico y plantear algunos interrogantes sobre la legitimidad de sus objeciones, teniendo presente el derrotero preceptivo de Aristóteles en su libro sobre la tragedia.
Música y palabras en Nietzsche: Sobre la cuestión de la ciencia, el estilo y la música de la tragedia griega antigua
Authors: Babich Babette E. 
Published: April 2021

Partiendo de un análisis de la condición póstuma de la obra nietzscheana, el trabajo desentraña las características peculiares de su estilo, por las que pensamiento y lenguaje se hallan imbricados de tal manera que cada obra nietzscheana está construida calculando muy cuidadosamente los efectos que puede producir en los diversos tipos de lectores. De aquí que el trabajo reexamine también las distintas formas básicas de leer y considerar a Nietzsche, alejándose de los dos extremos representados por la tendencia historicista dedicada a resaltar las influencias en la obra nietzscheana, y por la tendencia retoricista que insiste en considerar su obra como un puro juego metafórico. La autora encuentra la mejor vía hermenéutica en la consideración que hace el mismo Nietzsche de cómo debemos leer la tragedia griega antigua: ‘oyendo con nuestros ojos’, es decir, buscando la música que hay detrás de las palabras.

Abstract
Sedative phytomedications continue to play an important role in the management of a considerable amount of anxiety symptoms because of the various side effects of synthetic sedatives and tranquilizers. However, developing new herbal drugs needs their appropriate quality control according to the relevant requirements. The aim of the study was to determine the sedative properties of the tinctures obtained from the American basil (Ocimum americanum L., Lamiaceae Martinov family) herb and to develop the standardization parameters for the promising herbal medicinal product. The open field test was used to evaluate the sedative effect of the prepared tinctures: (1) with the added of O. americanum essential oil (OATEs) and (2) without adding O. americanum essential oil (OAT). The standardization parameters for the OATEs were developed using validated High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) methods. The HPTLC analysis was used for the chromatographic fingerprints of polyphenols and for identifying linalool in the OATEs. The HPLC analysis found the significant content of rosmarinic acid (RA) (0.26%) in the OATEs. In conclusion, the developed OATEs can be considered as the new herbal medicinal product with significant sedative properties.

Published: April 2021

AbstractThis study presents the applications of the extended rational sine-cosine/sinh-cosh schemes to the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov equations and the (2+1)-dimensional Maccari system. Various wave solutions such as singular periodic, periodic wave, topological, topological kink-type, dark and singular soliton solutions are successfully revealed. To display the physical features of the reported solutions, we use some appropriate choice of parameters in plotting the 3D, 2D, and contour graphs of some attained solutions.

Published: April 2021

AbstractStab-protective clothing is the most important component of safety equipment and it helps to save the lives of its wearers; therefore, it is designed to resist knife, nail, or needle attacks, especially to the upper body. In this paper, the essential requirements for stab-resistant armor are investigated based on an in-depth review of previous research and prototype test results. The combination of protection and comfort in armor vests is a particularly challenging task. Review of the state of the art technology responsible for the manufacture of stab-resistant clothes has revealed that their design and development should encompass the elements of comfort, freedom of movement, permeability, absorption, evaporation, and weight reductions to ensure excellent ergonomics and high wear comfort. The design as well as the production, weight, thickness, material types and properties, and the arrangement of scales determine the level of protection and comfort offered by stab-resistant vests. Currently, the production of stab-proof gear-based 3D printing technology is evaluated, using lightweight materials (aramid) in the form of segmented scales inspired by nature. As the protection performance and wear comfort of stab-proof gear is enhanced, the willingness of security, control, transport, custom, and correction officers to wear them can be significantly increased in an endeavor to ensure that fatal injuries will decrease significantly.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
The sportswear industry has a growing market globally. In the sportswear retail market, where the primary focus is on providing customers the product, but provision of the necessary ancillary service also takes place, the service quality and its relation to customer satisfaction and customer loyalty are important. With an attempt to find out this relationship, the data for this study was obtained from 251 people living in Turkey. The service quality was described as a second-order construct with the dimensions proposed in SERVQUAL scale. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used to analyze and validate the model. The findings showed that the service quality, together with the relevant dimensions, tangibles, reliability, and assurance, has an influence on the customer satisfaction but not on the customer loyalty. Nonetheless, it was confirmed the customer satisfaction has an impact on the customer loyalty.
Rethink about the role of rheumatoid factor and anti-citrullinated protein antibody in rheumatoid arthritis
Authors: Sung Wang Yu , Tsai Wen Chan 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation and extra-articular manifestations. Many questions in the pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, and disease spectrum are answered after the discovery of the first autoantibody namely rheumatoid factor (RF). The finding of the second autoantibody named anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA), which unearths the importance of protein citrullination process. It further provides the insight how immune cells and complement interact to perpetuate the inflammatory response. These two autoantibodies pave the way for our better understanding of RA. This review article focuses on the history, pathophysiology, and clinical association of these two autoantibodies in RA.
Hogarth and Bad Taste: The Sculptures at St. Bartholomew’s as Satirical Inspiration
Authors: Revell Timothy 
Published: April 2021

The engraving Masquerades and Operas (1724), also known as The Bad Taste of the Town, was William Hogarth’s first self-published work. Despite this milestone, it has become a footnote to more studied works such as The Rake’s Progress. I have discovered that Hogarth used sculptures from the Henry VIII Gate at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London on his depiction of the Great Gate of Burlington House (home to the Royal Academy of Arts); I believe this is an overlooked element of the print that signals his distaste for foreign art. Hogarth strongly opposed Italianate painting and architecture, even painting frescoes at St. Bartholomew’s gratis, after learning the commission had gone to an Italian. Through visual, political, and contextual analysis, I argue that allusions to Raphael and Michelangelo in Masquerades and Operas associate Italian art with “lameness” and “disease” and are meant to show the decadence of Italian art and its impact on the arts in England. Their position on the Henry VIII Gate further alludes to the malignancy of the aristocracy, whom Hogarth saw as adversely affecting British culture by adopting foreign influences.
The Brexit vote and global political turmoil are at the forefront of today’s political situation. In this regard, it is valuable to look back at times of significant cultural change and examine why artists like Hogarth, and contrastingly, Hogarth’s nemesis William Kent (a proponent of classical architecture inspired by Italian examples), strove for and against intercultural exchange.
Using the Talk Test to Prescribe and Guide Exercise Intensity: Speaking Your Way to Improved Fitness
Authors: Preobrazenski Nick 
Published: April 2021

Introduction: The Talk Test (TT) is a non-invasive, subjective method of prescribing exercise intensity. The TT involves three stages. When exercisers can speak comfortably, can speak but not comfortably, or cannot speak comfortably, they are in the positive (POS), equivocal (EQ), and negative (NEG) TT stages, respectively. The NEG stage correlates with important physiological markers such as ventilatory threshold and lactate threshold. Given the evidence demonstrating large increases peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) when training at intensities above these markers, the purpose of the study was to test the hypothesis that the TT is efficacious for improving VO2peak at both the group and individual level in young, healthy males.
Methods: 11 healthy males completed a maximal fitness test before and after 4 weeks of training 4 times per week for 30 minutes in the NEG stage. The TT was performed every 2.5 to 5 minutes to ensure that the resistance would be enough to elicit a NEG response. Changes in VO2peak below 2 times a previously established typical error were classified as non-response.
Results: Four weeks of training at NEG induced a significant increase (11.5%) in VO2peak (PRE: 45.80 mL/Kg/min ± 4.92; POST 51.07 mL/Kg/min ± 5.45, p < 0.001). Furthermore, only one participant (9.09%) was classified as a non-responder in VO2peak following training.
Conclusion: These results suggest that the TT can efficaciously prescribe and guide exercise intensity in young, healthy males, and that training at an intensity that prevents comfortable speech leads to a small incidence of non-response
Evaluating a Motivational Interviewing Workshop for Medical Students at Queen’s University
Authors: Skelding Sarah 
Published: April 2021

Motivational interviewing (MI), a partnership-based counselling style, has increasingly been used to promote behaviour change among adults. Despite its potential to support behaviour change, there is a lack of research examining the most effective ways to train health care practitioners to use MI when working with patients. The purpose of this research was to evaluate uptake of MI skills following a one-day MI workshop that was developed in partnership with Exercise is Medicine for second year medical students enrolled at Queen’s University. The workshop focused on developing a basic understanding of the MI spirit, the phases of MI, and the ways in which MI may be used in different behavioural contexts. Participants (n=69) were asked to complete a pre and post-questionnaire that explored their knowledge of MI and their current perceptions of MI in addition to completing the Helpful Responses Questionnaire (HRQ), a validated MI assessment tool. A process evaluation was also conducted for each facilitator to measure fidelity to MI during the workshop. Results from the process and outcome evaluations are currently being evaluated. Results from this study will help determine whether a one-day workshop format is an appropriate delivery method for teaching MI techniques. Future research is needed to determine if medical students utilize information gained in their medical practice.
Predicting Chemotherapy Treatment Outcomes in Ovarian Cancer Patients Using Gene Expression Analysis
Authors: Tarnouskaya Anastasiya 
Published: April 2021

Ovarian cancer is the abnormal development of cells found in the ovaries. It is the fifth most fatal cancer amongst woman and has an overall five-year survival rate of 45% (American Cancer Society, 2016). For women with newly-diagnosed, advanced stage ovarian cancer, the current standard of care is surgery – to remove as much of the cancer as possible – followed by chemotherapy – to kill the remaining tumour cells (Cancer.Net Editorial Board, 2016). However, chemotherapy can have devastating side-effects such as infection, nausea, reduced cognitive
function, and death (Sun, et al., 2005). Using patients’ genomic profiles to predict how well they will respond to the standard of care will be valuable for patients when deciding whether to pursue standard or alternative forms of treatment. This study uses ovarian cancer patient data compiled by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Clinical data – such as patient age, gender, ethnicity, disease severity and treatment undergone – is used to define which patients responded well to chemotherapy. Patient gene expression data – which gives insight into which genes are up- or down-regulated – will be used to identify markers of chemotherapy response. This will be done using differential gene expression analysis – to identify individual genes that contribute to chemotherapy-response – and network analysis – to understand how the expression of these genes functions as a system. To make the results of the study clinically relevant, chemotherapy-response markers will be correlated to single nucleotide polymorphisms – a form of genetic variation that is much quicker to test for in a patient than gene expression.
