Konseptualisasi dalam Gastro Diplomasi: Sebuah Diskusi Kontemporer dalam Hubungan Internasional
Authors: Baskoro Riski M. 
Published: October 2018

AbstractFood has a story and people are the sole object constructing the story. Food also has meaning for a community group,where tradition, customs, values, and geographical location will determine what kind of dish is placed in a servingdevice. In other words, food can not be separated from the cultural aspects of a community group, because of courseevery community or a nation has a distinctive style to the food and in the end can set the identity. The concept ofgastronomy is certainly not a rare and peculiar thing, but when it is combined with diplomacy, the story may bedifferent. A decade and a half ago, a leading weekly magazine raised the news about gastro diplomacy activities andmade International Relations scholars captivated to further interpret this concept. This paper will elaborate theconcepts, practices, and debates surrounding gastro diplomacy regarding disparities to similar concepts. In addition,this paper also tries to analyze the affiliation of gastro diplomacy with nation branding. The purpose of this paper isto provide a comprehensive overview of the concept of gastro diplomacy.Keywords: gastro diplomacy, cultural diplomacy, public diplomacy, nation branding
AbstrakMakanan memiliki sebuah kisah dan manusia merupakan objek tunggal yang mengkonstruksi kisah itu. Makanan jugamemiliki makna bagi suatu kelompok masyarakat, dimana tradisi, adat istiadat, nilai-nilai sampai letak geografisakan menentukan hidangan jenis apa yang diletakan dalam sebuah peranti saji. Dengan kata lain, makanan tidak bisaterlepas dari aspek budaya suatu kelompok masyarakat, karena tentunya setiap kelompok masyarakat ataupun suatubangsa memiliki corak yang khas terhadap makanannya dan pada akhirnya dapat menata identitas. Konsep tentanggastronomi sudah tentu bukan hal langka dan ganjil, namun ketika ini dipadukan dengan diplomasi, ceritanya bisalain. Satu setengah dekade lalu, sebuah majalah mingguan terkemuka mengangkat berita tentang aktivitas gastrodiplomasi dan membuat para akademisi Hubungan Internasional terpikat untuk menginterpretasi lebih jauh konsepini. Tulisan ini akan mengelaborasi konsep, praktik, dan perdebatan seputar gastro diplomasi mengenai disparitasterhadap konsep-konsep yang serupa.

Authors: Romadhon Yuki Aliffenur 
Published: October 2018

AbstractSince batik is recognized by UNESCO as a nation heritage, batik industry in Pekalongan is increasing, but it caused environmental issues. Then, the government of Pekalongan issued local regulation No. 9 of 2015 about waste water management to minimalized the waste impact in Pekalongan. The sustainable development can be meant as a development concept which fulfills needs of the present without forfeiting the fulfillment rights of needs for future generation. There are three understanding apects in the sustainable development, such as social aspect, economy and environment. Generally, the implementation of local regulation No. 9 of 2015 about waste water management in Pekalongan is a balancer of the sustainable development from batik industry which has been done. There are three sustainable development principles which are suitable with local regualation No. 9 of 2015, such as principle of intergenerational equity, principle of integration between environmental protection and development, and principle of preventive measure. In its implementation, these principles have been already done, but the use of IPAL which has not been maximized caused less water quality standard and become an indication of river pollution.Keywords: batik, waste water, local regulation, sustainable development

Pada implementasinya, semua sudah terlaksana, namun penggunaan IPAL yang belum maksimal sehingga menimbulkan kadar baku mutu air diatas yang seharusnya dan menjadi indikasi pencemaran sungai.Kata-kata kunci: batik, air limbah, peraturan daerah, pembangunan berkelanjutan
Assessment of apparent losses due to meter inaccuracy using an alternative, validated methodology
Authors: Ncube Mthokozisi , Taigbenu Akpofure E. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Despite wide acceptance of the IWA water balance as the basis of managing water losses, experience suggests that there are difficulties with its application. For apparent losses assessment, the traditional approach of deriving consumption profiles and testing water meters exceeds the resources of many utilities. While a few studies have explored alternative methodologies, these have largely not been validated and are susceptible to reproducibility and interpretation difficulties. This paper introduces an improved comparative billing analysis method that combines data preparation techniques, clustering analysis and classical regression analysis on monthly billing data of a water utility in Johannesburg, South Africa. Using the method, an average estimate of apparent losses due to metering errors of 8.2% was found against the best-case scenario of 9.4% using field investigations and laboratory tests, which also measure meter under-registration that the proposed methodology does not cater for. The validated results were possible at a fraction of the cost and effort, while also providing better insight into the underlying consumption patterns. The results show that data-driven discovery processes are viable alternatives for improved assessment and management of water losses.

Published: October 2018

:
The unique properties of ionic liquids make them quite appealing for diverse applications,
from “green” solvents (1st generation ionic liquids) to finely tuned materials (2nd generation
ionic liquids). A decade ago, a 3rd generation of ionic liquids emerged which is focused
on their prospective clinical applications, either as drugs per se or as adjuvants in drug formulations.
In recent years, research focused on the use of ionic liquids for topical drug delivery
has been increasing and holds great promise towards clinical application against skin cancers.
This article highlights the growing relevance of ionic liquids in medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical
technology, which is opening new windows of opportunity.

Authors: Rabeea Ihsan Salah , Al-Gburi Karrar , Adnan Ihsan , Hasan Bilal , Mohammed Massa , Mohammed Mariam 
Published: October 2018

Background:
Nowadays, there is an accumulated data about the relation between hypomagnesemia
(low Serum Mg level < 0.7 mmol/l) and diabetes.

Objective:
In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of hypomagnesemia in a carefully diagnosed
diabetes patients and to show how some factors could contribute to the prevalence of low serum
Mg level among the population under study.

Methods:
In short, 62 patients of both type 1 and 2, who attended AL-Sadir medical city/ diabetes and
endocrinology centre during the period of the study were included in the study. A detailed history was
taken and participants were informed verbally about the procedure of this study. Serum magnesium and
creatinine were measured using standardized methods.

Results:
The overall prevalence of the hypomagnesemia, among diabetic population involved in this
study, was 29.03 % and it was nearly similar in male (29.41 %) and female (28.57 %). The means(SD)
of serum Mg level were similar in type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. Other difference in prevalence
among other characteristics has been reported. Within all participants, gender (r = -0.02), fasting blood
glucose (r = -0.514) and metformin use (r = -0.014) were negatively correlated with serum Mg level, in
contrast to other variables, which were positively correlated. While among type 1 DM, age (r= 0.193),
serum creatinine (r= 0.031) and insulin use (r= 0.217) were positively correlated with serum Mg level.
In contrast, others were negatively correlated. In type 2 DM, age (r = -0.283) and fasting blood glucose
(r = -0.496) were negatively correlated with serum Mg level. On the other hand, other variables were
positively correlated with serum Mg level.

Conclusion:
Hypomagnesemia prevalence was detected in nearly one-third of the diabetic population,
which is quite high prevalence. Some factors have shown to play an essential role in this prevalence. A
large study is warranted to address this issue.

Authors: Al-rudaini Hesham Ebrahim Ahmed , Han Ping , Liang Huimin 
Published: October 2018

Background:CT Angiography (CTA) of aortoiliac and lower extremity arteries is a relatively recent innovation of CT imaging that has changed after the introduction of multi-detector row scanners.Objective:The study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Multidetector Computed Tomographic Angiography (MDCTA) in the assessment of arterial tree in patients with Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease (PAOD), as compared to Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA).Methods:A single-center nonrandomized prospective study was conducted on 50 patients complaining of peripheral arterial disease (chronic stage) from February 2017 to October 2017. All the patients were exposed to DSA and CTA prior to definitive treatment. The images were then analyzed using maximum intensity projection, volume-rendered, and curved multiplane reformation techniques.Results:All the patients involved in this study were susceptible according to their clinical presentation. The statistical analysis exposed a highly significant difference between CTA and DSA in the assessment of stenosis at the level of Femoropopliteal segment (P<0.01), while for infrapopliteal segment, there was no statistically significant difference between CTA and DSA having 8% versus 14% insignificant stenosis and 62% versus 47% significant stenosis in CTA and DSA, respectively. The overall accuracy of CT angiography in the femoropopliteal segments was 95.20% while in the infrapopliteal segment it was 94.5%.Conclusion:Multidetector CT angiography was found to be a reliable alternative mean for pathoanatomical description of the arterial lesions in critical lower limb ischemia and its subsequent management in comparison to digital subtraction angiography.

Authors: Taydas Onur , Koc Ural 
Published: October 2018

Objective:
The aim of the study was to evaluate hepatic steatosis in an asymptomatic
group of patients with unenhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) and to compare the results
with anthropometric measurements.

Methods:
The study included 617 patients aged 18-93 years, who underwent unenhanced abdominopelvic
CT between January 2016 and December 2017. Three imaging criteria were used in
the assessment of hepatic steatosis on CT: mean region of interest (ROI) value of measured liver
lobe (40 HU ≥), mean ROI value of measured liver lobe / measured spleen mean ROI value (1 ≥),
mean ROI value of measured liver lobe - mean ROI value of spleen (10 HU≥). The liver fat was
quantitatively assessed both visually and using multidetector CT grading. The anthropometric
measurements used were the size of the liver and spleen, abdominal anterior-posterior diameter,
abdominal transverse diameter, abdominal circumference, subcutaneous adipose tissue area, and
anterior, posterior, and posterolateral subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness.

Results:
The prevalence of hepatic steatosis was 29.3% according to the visual evaluation, 29.8%
according to the quantitative evaluation, 67.1% according to at least one criterion and 23.3% according
to at least two criteria. A positive correlation was determined between hepatic steatosis and
anthropometric measurements. Differences between the genders were observed in both hepatic
steatosis and anthropometric measurements.

Conclusion:
By setting more objective criteria for evaluation, with the possibility of quantitative
analysis in particular, non-contrast CT will have a more important role in assessing liver fat in the
future.

Published: October 2018

Background:Valerian extract is widely used in dietary supplements as well as in conventional, traditional and alternative medicines. It is one of the most used herbal plants for the treatment of several disorders, mainly related to the digestive and the nervous systems. Dozens of chemical constituents with pharmacological and therapeutic properties were identified in essential oils and/or other extracts of valerian’s roots, rhizomes and aerial parts. This review summarizes and updates the current knowledge about the pharmacological properties of valerian, highlighting the most recent clinical, in vitro and in vivo findings, and intends to identify and propose future directions for further research regarding the effective biological effects of Valeriana spp.Methods:This review analyzed the scientific literature published in PubMed, Science Direct and Web of Science.Results:Some reports are contradictory or inconclusive, probably due to the presence of chemically distinct chemotypes within a species of Valeriana or to different approaches adopted in different studies. Also, there are a number of studies showing that co-administration of herbal supplements and drugs may promote pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic herb-drug interactions.Conclusion:It is of utmost importance to clarify the state of the art related to Valeriana spp. therapeutic properties and their effects on metabolism.

Authors: Karimi-Maleh Hassan , Karimi Fatemeh , Rezapour Morteza , Bijad Majede , Farsi Mohammad , Beheshti Aliasghar , Shahidi Seyed-Ahmad 
Published: October 2018

Background:Application of electrochemical sensors for analysis of food, biological and water polluting compounds helps to speed up their analysis in the real samples. Electrochemical sensors with low cost, fast response and portable ability are a better choice compared to traditional methods for analysis of electro-active compounds such as HPLC. Therefore, in recent years, many analytical scientists have suggested this type of analytical method for analysis of food, biological compounds and water pollutants.Objective:Due to low cost, easy modification and low non-faradic current, the carbon paste electrode is a suitable choice as a working electrode in the electrochemical and especially voltammetric analysis. On the other hand, modification of carbon paste electrode can improve the quality of the sensor for the analysis of electroactive compounds at nanomolar level.
Presenting the Hybrid Algorithm of Honeybee - Harmony in Clustering and Routing of Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Sedighimanesh Mohammad , Zandhesami Hesam , Sedighimanesh Ali 
Published: October 2018

Background:
Wireless sensor networks are considered as one of the 21st century's most
important technologies. Sensors in wireless sensor networks usually have limited and sometimes
non-rechargeable batteries, which they are supposed to be preserved for months or even years. That's
why the energy consumption in these networks is of a great importance.

Objective:
One way to improve energy consumption in a wireless sensor network is to use clustering.
In clustered networks, one node is known as the cluster head and other nodes as normal members,
which normal nodes send the collected data to the cluster head, and the cluster head sends the information
to the base station either by a single step or by multiple steps.

Method:
Using clustering simplifies resource management and increases scalability, reliability, and
the network lifetime. Although the cluster formation involves a time- overhead and how to choose
the cluster head is another problem, but its advantages are more than its disadvantages.

:
The primary aim of this study is to offer a solution to reduce energy consumption in the sensor network.
In this study, during the selection of cluster heads, Honeybee Algorithm is used and also for
routing, Harmonic Search Algorithm is used. In this paper, the simulation is performed by using
MATLAB software and the proposed method is compared with the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering
Hierarchy (LEACH) and the multi-objective fuzzy clustering algorithm (MOFCA).

Result and Conclusion:
By simulations of this study, we conclude that this research has remarkably
increased the network lifetime with respect to EECS, LEACH, and MOFCA algorithms. In view of
the energy constraints of the wireless sensor network and the non-rechargeable batteries in most cases,
providing such solutions and using metaheuristic algorithms can result in a significant reduction
in energy consumption and, consequently, increase in the network lifetime.
