Robust ΦC31-Mediated Genome Engineering in Drosophila melanogaster Using Minimal attP/attB Phage Sites
Authors: Voutev Roumen , Mann Richard S 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Effective genome engineering should lead to a desired locus change with minimal adverse impact to the genome itself. However, flanking loci with site-directed recombinase recognition sites, such as those of the phage ΦC31 integrase, allows for creation of platforms for cassette exchange and manipulation of genomic regions in an iterative manner, once specific loci have been targeted. Here we show that a genomic locus engineered with inverted minimal phage ΦC31 attP/attB sites can undergo efficient recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE) in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.

Introducción: Los procesos de aprendizajes involucrannecesariamente la interacción del que aprende y aquello quesirve como puente de comunicación, conocido como mediador,es importante tener presente que aprender de algún modo implicael hecho que confluyan campos mórficos que explican de algunamanera cómo evolucionan los sistemas vivos que co aprenden,que se reconfiguran para potencializar rutas aprendientes queestán escritas en linderos de la complejidad y de la oralidad,la incertidumbre y en patrones de aprendizajes, que quedanregistrados en estructuras de orden que privilegian tambien lareconfiguración permanente de los organismos y más que estoslas células que los forman. Materiales y métodos: El enfoqueusado en el proceso investigativo es de corte cualitativo, el cualpermite una percepción holística de la realidad, en esos procesosde aprendizaje que cada comunidad ha ido construyendo yprivilegiando en los perfiles que privilegian el aprender, el conocer,un caso particular e importante es el de las Cantoras de Colombia,quienes a través del tiempo han conservado su ancestralidady han ido escribiendo en el campo akásico su conocimiento.Resultados y discusión: Los campos mórficos influyen dandocomo resultado un registro de conocimiento que se preserva enel tiempo y el espacio, hablando musicalmente: un canto sublimede átomos que dan saltos cuánticos cuando se reconfiguran pararegistrar en las neuronas mismas el conocimiento que cada serpretende alcanzar y encuentra en el largo camino del aprender. Enese encuentro de miradas y voces, se fundamenta el artículo.
Conclusiones: la educación requiere una transformaciónprofunda, las reformas educativas son tan solo estrategiassuperficiales que dan respuesta o posibilidades de acciones, perono abren caminos de solución a las diversas problemáticas en laque se encuentra inmersa. Considerar una mirada holística, permiteasumir un papel mediador donde cada individuo va construyendoal ritmo de sus posibilidades, sus virtudes.
Emotiv EPOC BCI with Python on a Raspberry pi
Authors: Salgado Patrón José , Barrera Monje Cristian Raúl 
Published: March 2018

The hybrid Brain-Computer Interface [BCI] system gives an insight on the development of useful interfaces for users with different backgrounds, from medical applications to video games, where standalone and wearable means accessibility for the user. Systems such as EPOC offers a simple solution for acquiring electroencephalography and electromyography signals with low price and fast setup, compared to high tech medical equipment. From the processing point of view, a computer always offers the main foundation for solving any issue, as the Raspberry Pi [RPi] does, which provides the sufficient computational power for a BCI to be implemented and an open source operating system such as Raspbian. Certainly a wireless communication is a must between the robot and the RPi, where an Xbee module gives a simple bidirectional connection. Python is the principal tool used in the project with multiple libraries for the processing of brain and muscular signals not only for the preparation of them but classification as well, from multithreading functions, feature extraction such as power spectral density and Hjorth parameters, and a support vector machine classifiera.

Authors: Triana Hernan G. , Navarro Cadavid Andrés 
Published: March 2018

AbstractThe Sommerfeld exact solution for canonical 2D wedge diffraction problem with perfectly conducting surfaces is presented. From the integral formulation of the problem, the Malyuzhinets solution is obtained and this result is extended to obtain the general impedance solution of canonical 2D wedge problem. Keller’s asymptotic solution is developed and the general formulation of exact solution it’s used to obtain general asymptotic methods for approximate solutions useful from the computational point of view. A simulation tool is used to compare numerical calculations of exact and asymptotic solutions. The numerical simulation of exact solution is compared to numerical simulation of an asymptoticmethod, and a satisfactory agreement found. Accuracy dependence with frequency is verified.
Implementing secure smart home using existing infrastructure
Authors: Banerjee Amit , Sameen Chishti Mohd , Kumar Sunjay 
Published: March 2018

The emergence of Internet of Things [IoT] paves the path of the smart home. A smart home learns the habits of residents to make intelligent decision, which requires knowledge to be communicated and stored. The communication of generated data creates loop-hole in security and privacy of the user of smart home. Another challenging issue while designing a smart home is that legacy home appliances lack the smart connectivity. This paper focuses on designing a secure architecture to access smart home appliances, while using the existing home appliances that lacks networking and processing power like a bulb or fan. To ensure secure communication using internet, we are using third party authentication tool deployed in cloud. We have installed a gateway as the entry point to our smart home and connected all the appliances to it. The user is authenticated by authentication server and gets access to the services. For implementation purpose, we used Kerberos as authentication tool and DragonBoard as gateway.

Published: March 2018

In this work, we describe the design and construction of a pulse oximeter for remote patient monitoring. The proposed device uses the ESP8266 microcontroller as the core component to establish the wireless connection and send information to a node.js server. Then, a web service shows the saturation of oxygen and the heart rate through a WebSocket connection. This paper describes the hardware and software designs, justifying the decision to select each component of the proposed device. Finally, some experimental results are shown to illustrate the performance of the developed prototype.
Estudio sobre los factores que inciden sobre las interacciones interpersonales que tienen lugar en escenarios educativos no presenciales basados en inter/intranet
Authors: Laurta Estrella , Mazzotti Wellington 
Published: March 2018

Los entornos de formación no presenciales implican un cambio profundo del escenario en donde tienen lugar los procesos de enseñanza y de aprendizaje. Es preciso detenerse a reflexionar sobre los impactos que produce este cambio de entorno. Las relaciones del triángulo enseñante–aprendiz– saber, son diferentes. Se debe pensar, desde la didáctica, sobre las nuevas formas de presentar los saberes, pues es claro que por lo menos, sin un previo debate, no es posible transferir las prácticas educativas que se realizan en las aulas tradicionales a los entornos virtuales. Se intenta explorar uno de los aspectos claves del proceso de aprendizaje: las relaciones interpersonales que tienen lugar entre los integrantes de un curso a distancia. No es posible transferir las experiencias de intercambio que tienen lugar en un entorno áulico a un entorno mediático virtual, por lo que con este estudio se intenta brindar información a los docentes para que puedan reflexionar sobre el nuevo escenario donde desarrollarán sus estrategias didácticas: pensar en términos de la dinámica comunicacional del grupo virtual y en función de esto cómo debe conducirse el proceso de enseñanza.
Brechas emergentes en el uso de Internet: un frente de acción a la zaga en Colombia
Authors: Martínez-Coral Patricia Eugenia 
Published: March 2018

El presente artículo expone los resultados de una investigación de carácter exploratorio, a través de la cual se analizó el alcance de los proyectos de inversión ejecutados por el Fondo de Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones, durante los dos últimos cuatrienios, para fomentar el acceso y uso de Internet en los hogares de estratos socio-económicos bajos. Elementos tales como la cobertura, oferta de servicios, selección de beneficiarios y ejecutores, diseño de las subvenciones aplicadas, y monto de la inversión, sirvieron como criterios orientadores en el desarrollo del análisis, y fueron complementados con la reconstrucción del contexto sectorial en el que cada proyecto ha sido implementado. El estudio de la política de servicio universal en Colombia permite concluir que existe un vacío ostensible de las dimensiones de uso que deben acompañar la oferta de infraestructura. Si bien, el despliegue subsidiado de redes de última milla, y el establecimiento de tarifas máximas del servicio de banda ancha, apuntan a superar barreas de asequibilidad que obstaculizan la difusión tecnológica, resulta imperativo desarrollar estrategias que incrementen la promesa de valor de uso de Internet, de tal modo que los beneficiarios no solo retribuyan la inversión pública mediante su disposición a pagar por el servicio, fortaleciendo la sostenibilidad de este tipo de proyectos, sino que además aprovechen las condiciones de acceso haciendo uso productivo de la red.

Published: March 2018

Enriching health professional students’ placement experiences through targeted community-engagement has the potential to help develop their preparedness to provide healthcare to the broader community. The program, developed in 2011, consisted of short, extracurricular community-engaged learning experiences integrated with the students’ professional placements. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the program was adding to the students’ rural health placement experiences based on perceptions of both the students themselves and UONDRH staff.A mixed methods approach used a student survey (n = 96), which included both closed and open-ended questions, and semi-structured interviews with staff members involved in delivery of the community engagement program (n = 15). Data were explored together for intersections and commonalities. The overarching key concept was ‘Enhancing Work Readiness and Employability’. Both student and staff perceived that students’ participation in community engagement improved their employment prospects. Three themes that emerged from the data, which underpinned and supported the key concept. They were: ‘Expanding professional practice capabilities’; ‘Building confidence and showing motivation’ and ‘Better understanding the nature of rural practice’, The results of this study provide support to the notion that there was value for students in this form of short-term, community engagement activities, many of which could be readily integrated into existing health professional education programs with considerable benefits. . It would also lend itself to other non-health professional programs, such as law, journalism or business studies, as a means of broadening the students’ perspectives beyond the limits of their own professional horizons.

There are several methods to maintain the confidentiality of datas/informations, which are cryptography and steganography. By using cryptographic Rivest Code-6 algorithm then the datas/informations is converted into a form that cannot be undestood, and then steganographic End of File algorithm the datas/informations is inserted into another media so that ordinaary people do not know the existence of the datas/informations. The results of this research tell that by using both algorithms the secret datas/informations can be hidden and read back properly. In addition there will be increase in file size reservoirs, where the increase in dependent on the size of the secret datas/informations and file size of the reservoir, while the length of the key to be isnerted into reservoir will remain at 16 bytes.
Reliability of water supplies in low and middle-income countries: a structured review of definitions and assessment criteria
Authors: Majuru Batsirai , Suhrcke Marc , Hunter Paul R. 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The unreliability of water supplies in developing countries is a widely recognised concern. However, unreliability means different things in the variety of literature on water supplies, and no unified definition or assessment criteria exists. We review definitions of water supply reliability used in existing literature, as well as the various ways in which it is assessed. Thirty-three papers were selected for review that reported on reliability of domestic water supply and were based on empirical research in developing countries. Explicit definitions of reliability are given in four out of the 33 papers reviewed. These definitions vary, but features common are the functionality of the water supply system itself, and the extent to which it meets the needs of water users. Assessment criteria also vary greatly, with the most common criterion in urban settings being the duration/continuity of supply in hours per day, while in rural settings, the proportion of functional water systems is commonly used. The heterogeneity in the definitions and assessment criteria found in the review is perhaps indicative of a multi-attribute nature of the concept of reliability and any unifying definition and assessment criteria might do well to take this into account.
RETENTION OF CAROTENE AND RETINYL PALMITATE IN PALM COOKING OIL AND THE PRODUCTS FRIED IN THE OIL
Authors: Hasibuan Hasrul Abdi 
Published: March 2018

Fortification of vitamin A in the cooking oil needs to be revisited given that the used oil is palm oil and fortificant form of vitamin A or retinol palmitate have to be imported. On the other hand, palm oil contains carotene as pro-vitamin A and potentially as an alternative of fortificant. The aim of this study was to compare the retention of carotene to retinol palmitate in palm cooking oil and the products fried in the oil using deep frying at 150°C. Materials used as fried products were potatoes, tofu and chicken. The quality of cooking oil that determined were the fatty acid composition, water content, free fatty acid, peroxide value, color, retention of carotene and retinol palmitate. While the quality of the products fried in the oil that determined were water, fat, carotene and retinol palmitate content. The results of this study showed that fortificant (carotene and retinol palmitate) no significant difference to the quality of cooking oil except color, retention of carotene and retinol palmitate. Fortificants also showed no significant difference to the quality of fried products. Retention of carotene showed significantly decreased with increasing frying repeatedly, but had a higher retention and significantly different than retinol palmitate. Retention of carotene in the frying pan first, second, third, fourth and fifth were in the range of 86-89%, 83-89%, 80-83%, 77-80% and 77-80%, while retinol palmitate were 68-100%, 58-97%, 51-89%, 50-84%, and 40-75%. Thus, carotene can be used as an alternative of fortificant in the palm cooking oil.
