Published: July 2018

Rauwolfia serpentine [L] Kurz ex Benth is a valuable plant yielding alkaloid of reserpine. The aim of this study was to find the most effective way of reserpine production. Growth regulators {naphthalene acetic acid [NAA] and Kinetin}were applied to promote and to regulate the growth of explant of R. serpentine cultured in vitro. The study was conducted at the laboratory of Bandung Institute of Technology [ITB]. Nine formulations of NAA and Kinetin were the treatments that were repeated twice in completely randomized design. Weight of callus was measured at one, two, three and four weeks after induction of explant. Reserpine analysis was performed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography [HPLC]. The result showed that the best callus induction was the treatment of 2.5 ppm NAA + 2.5 ppm Kinetin, and the highest content of reserpine was in root organ [0.0021 g / L], and in callus [0.0021 g / L] at the age of 4 weeks after induction. There was revealed that in vitro culture method was more productive in producing reserpine compound than the conventional plantation of R serpentine. Production of reserpine by callus culture was more effective and may be the basic for recommended further effort.

Published: July 2018

Accurate measurements of Soil Water Content (SWC) with applicable and relevant support are essential in many fields of earth and soil engineering research. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a geophysical tool that measures and provides accurate results for determination of the SWC. To prove the accuracy of SWC measurement using GPR, a field survey was performed in peat soil. This paper presents a fieldwork survey with the aim of assessing the SWC measurement using GPR. The survey work was conducted at Johor Bharu using different antenna frequencies (250 and 700 MHz). Five profiles, which is 5m by 5m in length, were scanned along an east-west direction with a common offset at an equal spacing of 1m. To measure the SWC using GPR, the researchers used the velocity from the GPR’s signal from the receiving antenna to the soil. Statistical analysis was carried out based on the dielectric permittivity and SWC. Schaap’s equation and Roth’s equation were used to distinguish the relative dielectric permittivity of the soil to SWC. The results of this study show the linear function, for the measured SWC. The validation graph shows that at a frequency of 250 MHz, the depth of penetration was greater compared to the frequency of 750 MHz. These results, suggest that a higher frequency will give higher resolution but lower depth penetration.

Published: July 2018

This research work introduces a method of using color thresholds to identify two-dimensional images in MATLAB using the RGB Color model to recognize the Color preferred by the user in the picture. Methodologies including image color detection convert a 3-D RGB Image into a Gray-scale Image, at that point subtract the two pictures to obtain a 2-D black-and-white picture, filtering the noise picture elements using a median filter, detecting with a connected component mark digital pictures in the connected area and utilize the bounding box and its properties to calculate the metric for every marking area. In addition, the shade of the picture element is identified by examining the RGB value of every picture element present in the picture. Color Detection algorithm is executed utilizing the MATLAB Picture handling Toolkit. The result of this implementation can be used in as a bit of security applications such as spy robots, object tracking, Color-based object isolation, and intrusion detection.

The present article amounts to an attempt to analyze the work Axe is the name of mine by Alexander Dugin — a theorist of Eurasianism ideology in Russia. In this article Dugin touches upon the novel Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Dugin analyzes the novel in the context of cultural opposition between the orthodox Russia and the secular Western Europe, whose symbol is the capital of the Russian Empire— Saint Petersburg. The city in this case is the negation of the orthodox tradition of Moscow — The Third Rome. Dugin extremely relativized the meaning of Dostoyevsky‘snovel.

Helena is the main character of this play and she is the author’s porte parole.This character develops stereotype of „a proud Polish woman” and continues the19th century plot in Russian literature (the relationship of a strong woman and a weakman). The main character’s features are: sacrifice, ability to love and forgive, will to fight for personal matters. In Warsaw melody we can see that love and social themes are bound together — the conflict is not between person, but a man and the country. A Polish woman is a symbol of higher culture, she wants to overcome fear of what happens tomorrow, that is induced by her WWII life history, and gains life experience due to herpossibility to analyze and summarize. In the text we can find the author’s allusionsto the tragic history of Poland during WWII.

Published: July 2018

The Groningen natural gas field in the Netherlands – one of Europe’s major gas fields – deploys a “production cluster” infrastructure with extraction, some processing and storage in a single facility. This region is also the site of intensive agriculture and cattle operations. We present results from a multi-scale measurement campaign of methane emissions, including ground and airborne-based estimates. Results are compared with inventory at both the facility and regional level.
Investigation of production cluster emissions in the Groningen gas field shows that production volume alone is not a good indicator of whether, and how much, a site is emitting methane. Sites that are nominally shut down may still be emitting, and vice-versa. As a result, the inventory emission factors applied to these sites (i.e. weighted by production) do a poor job of reproducing individual site emissions. Additional facility-level case studies are presented, including a plume at 150 ± 50 kg CH4 hr–1 with an unidentified off-shore emission source, a natural gas storage facility and landfills.
Methane emissions in a study region covering 6000 km2 and including the majority of the Groningen field are dominated by biogenic sources (e.g. agriculture, wetlands, cattle). Total methane emissions (8 ± 2 Mg hr–1) are lower than inventory predictions (14 Mg hr–1) but the proportion of fossil fuel sources is higher than indicated by the inventory. Apportionment of methane emissions between thermogenic and biogenic source types used ethane/methane ratios in aircraft flasks and ground-based source characterization. We find that emissions from the oil and gas sector account for 20% of regional methane, with 95% confidence limits of (0%, 51%). The experimental uncertainties bound the inventory apportionment of 1.9%, though the central estimate of 20% exceeds this result by nearly 10 times. This study’s uncertainties demonstrate the need for additional research focusing on emissions apportionment, inventory refinement and offshore platforms.
A política e a cultura do “contentamento” no processo da globalização
Authors: Tauchen Jair Inácio 
Published: July 2018

O artigo procura apresentar uma crítica referente a política e a cultura do "contentamento", expressão cunhada por John Kenneth Galbraith. A cultura do contentamento está ancorada no laissez faire, ou seja, no compromisso da desregulamentação do mercado. Conforme essa doutrina, a intervenção do governo e, sobretudo, a regulamentação governamental, é vista como desnecessária alem de prejudicial ao processo da globalização. No entanto, o caráter do compromisso é altamente seletivo. Aos olhos da cultura do contentamento, sempre que houver o sumiço do dinheiro, quando a crise se instalar no mercado, e, somente nesses casos, a responsabilidade para encontrar a solução recai sobre o estado.

Annual Screening for Chronic Kidney Disease using Urinary Dipstick to Detect Proteinuria among Elderly Patients with Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus Attending Agbeke Mercy Medical Clinic, Oluyole Cheshire Home, Ibadan, Nigeria
Authors: Ibisola Babalola Adeniyi , Sherratt Margaret 
Published: July 2018

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a highly prevalent medical condition throughout the world, with worsening indices in the developing countries. The economic burden with renal replacement therapy is something that most developing nations may find difficult to cope with. It is important for those at risk of CKD to be screened and identified early in order to prevent or slow progression to advanced stages. There are different screening methods for CKD, the acceptable minimum is an annual screening with the use of dipstick to detect urinary protein.
Methodology: For the first cycle of the audit, medical records of the elderly hypertensive and diabetic patients attending Agbeke Mercy Medical Clinic were obtained for a retrospective assessment of their annual urinalysis uptake. A ninety percent standard was set for the second audit cycle. This was followed by a three months prospective dipstick (Medi-Test Combi 10® SGL) urinalysis screening, after health talks and a significant subsidization of the screening cost for all the participants were put in place.
Results: The records showed that 37% (32) of the eligible 87 patients had a dipstick urinalysis screening done in the preceding one year. In the three months, 93% (79) were screened for urinary protein with dipstick. 12.6% results were positive for at least 1+ of proteinuria.
Conclusion: Clinical audit is very important in improving clinical practice. It helps to identify areas of practice that may need improvement, as in this case annual screening for CKD with dipstick urinalysis, especially among patients who are at the risk of developing CKD. Despite financial constraints, efforts should be made to make CKD screening a routine in all at-risk patients

Published: July 2018

Abstract: Introduction and aim: Delayed-onset infection was defined as an infectious swelling and trismus accompained by pain or the presence of suppuration starting after the discharge of the patient, generally a week after surgery. Our aim was to describe incidence and possible risk factors of delayed-onset infection after lower wisdoom tooth removal. Material and methods: Retrospective study of 851 lower third molar surgeries, performed between January 2013 and August 2017 at Semmelweis University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oro-Maxillofacial Surgery and Stomatology, has been done. The teeth were removed by 2 surgeons. Under age of 26, a case-control study comprising a total of 150 lower third molar surgeries were done to indentify possible risk factors. Results: 10 delayed-onset wound infections were recorded after suture removal (1.17% of the patients). The mean time elapsing from surgery to delayed-onset infection was 30 days. Lower third molars with total soft tissue coverage, a bigger amount of bone coverage, a lack of distal space (Pell–Gregory class III), deeper impaction (Pell–Gregory classes B, C) or mesioangular tilt are associated with the development of this complication (p<0.05). Female sex and young age seem to be risk factors, too. Conclusion: Patients with risk factors should be warned that infection may still occur several weeks after surgery. The clinicians should observe these patients longer and emphasize keeping their wound clean for a prolonged period. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(31): 1278–1283.
