Published: March 2018

<p>Pain is one of the most common complaints in patients after experiencing a surgery. Surgery is a biphasic event against the human body that implies pain management. In post-surgery patients feel severe pain and 75% of patients have unpleasant experiences due to inadequate pain management.Based on the results of activity reports in Dr. Hi. Abdul Moeloek Public Hospital in Lampung Province in July-December 2016 obtained data operation BPH as many as 51 inhabitants. The objective of this research was to find out the effect of progressive relaxation to an intensity of pain for BPH (Benigna Prostate Hyperplasia) post-surgery patient. This was a quasi-experiment research by using one group pretest and posttest design. 20 respondent samples were taken by using accidental sampling. Data were collected by using observation sheet and analyzed by using univariate and bivariate analyses with Wilcoxon sign test. The results showed that the mean value of pain before the progressive relaxation therapy equal to 5.20 with standard deviation 0.834. While the mean value of pain scale after it was 3.60 with standard deviation 0.681. Analysis with Wilcoxon sign test derived p-value 0.000 (ρ-value 0.000 &lt; α 0.05), and the conclusion there was a significant effect the mean value of pain in the post-surgery patient’s BPH (Benigna Prostate Hyperplasia) after progressive relaxation therapy. The researcher expects that the progressive relaxation therapy can be used by more operational methods. </p>
José Medina Echavarrí­a y su contribución a la reflexión teórico-conceptual en Latinoamérica

José Medina Echavarrí­a es reconocido como uno de los sociólogos más destacados del exilio español en Latinoamérica. Hoy, al conmemorarse el XL aniversario de su muerte, cobra actualidad la lectura de su obra en temas como la reflexión teórica y la producción conceptual. En la región se debate constantemente sobre los procesos de recepción de las tradiciones sociológicas densas y la necesidad de enunciar y conceptuar sobre fenómenos históricos o procesos novedosos o inéditos. En esta tensión entre acumulación de tradiciones y la producción teórica como lenguaje de segundo orden, Medina aportó reflexiones seminales y de inspiración weberiana para el análisis sociológico contemporáneo, destacando, entre ellas, la diferenciación entre teorí­as verticales y horizontales, la sociologí­a analí­tica y estructural, y las tensiones entre investigación empí­rica y producción teórica.

Published: March 2018

ABSTRACT
Oviposition cup traps (OCT) are commonly used to detect gravid invasive Aedes mosquitoes. Employing OCT during hot summer months or over broad geographic areas is labor intensive because the water in these small-volume traps must be frequently replenished to maintain their attractiveness to mosquitoes. We developed low-cost and simple-to-build oviposition bucket traps (OBT) that attract mosquitoes for more than 1 wk. Comparison of adjacently placed OCT and OBT in the city of Madera, CA, showed OBT captured significantly more Ae. aegypti eggs per trap-night relative to the OCT (8.8 ± 2.6 and 4.1 ± 1.1, respectively; paired t-test, P = 0.0076), and a significantly greater proportion of OBT contained Ae. aegypti eggs relative to OCT (83% of OBT and 65% of OCT; Fisher's exact test, P = 0.0214). The results suggest that OBT can collect larger quantities of Ae. aegypti eggs relative to OCT while potentially offering greater flexibility in scheduling trap inspections.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the sugar-feeding behavior of Anopheles quadrimaculatus by measuring the impact of different aquatic plants on its survival. At the same time, the potential use of boric acid in toxic sugar bait (TSB) applications to the leaves of these plants was also evaluated. Mean survival rates of mosquitoes after 120 h feeding on 3 common aquatic plant species—Thalia geniculata, Pontederia cordata, and Limnobium spongia—were 10.55%, 1.86%, and 6.21%, respectively. No significant difference in mortality between mosquitoes feeding on separate plant species was detected (P = 0.05). The TSB efficacy was evaluated by leaf dip bioassay to compare 24-h mortality of mosquitoes feeding on leaves treated with TSB formulation (1% boric acid, 10% sucrose) and leaves dipped in 10% sucrose. Mortality was significantly higher for TSB-treated leaves for T. geniculata (t = 12.5, df = 8, P &lt; 0.0001) and P. cordata (t = 5.42, df = 8, P = 0.0006) than for L. spongia (t = 1.4003, df = 8, P = 0.199). One-way ANOVA analysis showed no significant difference in efficacy between TSB-treated leaves of the 3 plants.

ABSTRACT
The effectiveness of thermal fog application of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Vectobac® WDG) against larval Aedes aegypti was evaluated in open and forest canopied environments in northeastern Florida, using a handheld IGEBA® TF34 thermal fogger (with water conversion kit). The product was applied at the maximum label rate of 1 kg/ha to linear transects, in each environment, containing empty 0.5-liter cups. After application, late-2nd to early-3rd instars of Ae. aegypti were added to each cup. Complete larval mortality occurred 48 h after treatment, 8 m away from the spray line in the open field while 63.4% larval mortality was achieved at this same distance in the forest canopy at 72 h posttreatment. Operational efficacy was then evaluated in an urban tropical environment in Key West, FL. In this study, empty plastic cups were placed in cryptic areas of a commercial lobster and crab trap yard. The 0.1-ha area was treated with Vectobac WDG at the maximum label rate using the same equipment. Aedes aegypti larval mortality from treated cups was &gt;99% at 24 h posttreatment, whereas complete mortality was achieved at 48 h after application.

ABSTRACT
An unprecedented malaria outbreak occurred in Ubon Ratchathani Province, northeastern Thailand, in 2014. The province showed the highest number of malaria cases of all Thai provinces. Five entomological surveys were conducted at 8 sentinel sites from September 2013 to September 2015 to address the role of different Anopheles species in malaria transmission. Mosquito collections were conducted using human landing catches and cow bait. A total of 10,369 Anopheles mosquitoes were collected and 2,240 were morphologically identified as potential malaria vectors, including An. dirus (n = 78), An. minimus (n = 18), An. sawadwongporni (n = 4), An. barbirostris s.l. (n = 819), An. philippinensis (n = 612), An. nivipes (n = 676), An. annularis (n = 42), An. aconitus (n = 7), and An. rampae (n = 142). Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to screen for the presence of Plasmodium spp. in salivary glands. The proportion of primary vectors of surveyed villages was very low (&lt;1%), and no Plasmodium-infected specimens were detected among in the 2,240 Anopheles mosquitoes tested. The absence of positive Plasmodium samples during malaria outbreaks suggests that malaria transmission most likely occurred outside the villages, particularly in the deep-forested hilly areas that provided suitable habitats for competent malaria vectors. These results emphasize the need to develop vector control related to village community activities to reduce malaria transmission along Thailand border areas.

Published: March 2018

The phenomenon of gemstone or in Indonesia known as “batu akik” happened greatly in the early to the middle of 2015 and has become attention among the people in Indonesia. Although it cannot be identified precisely when the phenomenon of people massively wearing and collecting gemstones has begun, this study aims to present an early review of this phenomenon seeing from linguistics study. This study revealed three linguistics points regarding to this phenomenon. First, from several vocabulary of “batu”, most of them have the same phonetic form, that is [batu]. Second, the variation of “batu” vocabulary experienced changes in bilabial sound from /b/ to become /w/; extra aspirated voice [Bh] in phoneme [b]; and bilabial phoneme /b/ becomes dorsa velar /k/. Third, this study reveals that people’s interest in wearing and collecting gemstone all over Indonesia happened as the result of cultural similarity which lies in vocabulary “batu” that exists almost in all tribes, regions, and cities in Indonesia.Keywords: gemstone, local language, linguistic comparison

Published: March 2018

Recent changes to the Common Rule, which govern Institutional Review Boards (IRB), require implementing new policies to strengthen research protocols involving human subjects. A major challenge in implementing such policies is an inability to automatically and consistently meet these ethical rules while securing sensitive information collected during the study. In this paper, we propose a novel framework, based on blockchain technology, to enforce IRB regulations on data collection. We demonstrate how to design smart contracts and a ledger to meet the requirements of an IRB protocol, including subject recruitment, informed consent management, secondary data sharing, monitoring risks, and generating automated assessments for continuous review. Furthermore, we show how we can employ the immutable transaction log in the blockchain to embed security in research activities by detecting malicious activities and robustly tracking subject involvement. We evaluate our approach by assessing its ability to enforce IRB guidelines in different types of human subjects studies, including a genomic study, a drug trial, and a wearable sensor monitoring study.

Efisiensi Sistem Irigasi Pipa untuk Mengidentifikasi Tingkat Kelayakan Pemberian Air dalam Pengelolaan Air Irigasi
Authors: Fajar Afri , Purwanto Muhammad Yanuar J. , Tarigan Suria Darma 
Published: March 2018

Kehilangan air irigasi yang umum terjadi pada suatu areal pertanian selama pemberian air adalah aliran permukaan dan perkolasi yang keluar dari daerah perakaran. Irigasi pipa yang memiliki efisiensi mencapai 98% karena dapat mengontrol pemakaian air sesuai kebutuhan dan tidak ada terjadi rembesan selama penyaluran air. Jarak inlet petak sawah juga harus diperhatikan selain faktor teknologi irigasi. Jarak inlet petak sawah berpengaruh terhadap penyebaran air dalam suatu petakan sawah karena terkait dengan efisiensi aplikasi (Ea) dan efisiensi distribusi air (Ed). Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu metode deskriptif yang mengumpulkan data primer dan data sekunder. Selanjutnya pembuatan petak percoban yang telah dipasang irigasi pipa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai Ed di atas 90% pada perlakuan pemberian air konvensional dan System of Rice Intensification (SRI). Hal ini menjelaskan distribusi air pada teknologi irigasi pipa merata keseluruh areal tanam. Nilai Ea pada petak percobaan berkisar antara 76% - 98%. Perlakuan pemberian air konvensional nilai Ea lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan SRI. Hal ini dikarenakan air pada sawah konvensional terjadi perkolasi sehingga air keluar dari zona perakaran serta terjadinya aliran permukaan menyebabkan penurunan efisiensi. Hasil simulasi jarak inlet petak sawah menunjukkan bahwa Ea yang baik (≥ 90%) didapat pada jarak 30 m dengan sistem pemberian air secara SRI akan lebih hemat 10,25%. Tingkat kelayakan pemberian air berdasarkan nilai Ea diperoleh dari tingkat pola pemberian air irigasi pada sawah konvensional fase vegetatif kritis pada jarak 170 m, sedang fase generatif pada jarak 75 m menjadi kritis dan pada jarak 178 m menjadi sangat kritis. Petak sawah SRI menunjukkan nilai kelayakan pemberian air fase vegetatif mendekati kritis pada jarak 170 m, sedangkan fase generatif telah kritis pada jarak 150 m.

Published: March 2018

OBJECTIVEVarious neurological diseases are known to cause progressive painless paresis of the upper limbs. In this study the authors describe the previously unspecified syndrome of compression-induced painless cervical radiculopathy with predominant motor deficit and muscular atrophy, and highlight the clinical and radiological characteristics and outcomes after surgery for this rare syndrome, along with its neurological differential diagnoses.METHODSMedical records of 788 patients undergoing surgical decompression due to degenerative cervical spine diseases between 2005 and 2014 were assessed. Among those patients, 31 (3.9%, male to female ratio 4.8 to 1, mean age 60 years) presented with painless compressive cervical motor radiculopathy due to neuroforaminal stenosis without signs of myelopathy; long-term evaluation was available in 23 patients with 49 symptomatic foraminal stenoses. Clinical, imaging, and operative findings as well as the long-term course of paresis and quality of life were analyzed.RESULTSPresenting symptoms (mean duration 13.3 months) included a defining progressive flaccid radicular paresis (median grade 3/5) without any history of radiating pain (100%) and a concomitant muscular atrophy (78%); 83% of the patients were smokers and 17% patients had diabetes. Imaging revealed a predominantly anterior nerve root compression at the neuroforaminal entrance in 98% of stenoses. Thirty stenoses (11 patients) were initially decompressed via an anterior surgical approach and 19 stenoses (12 patients) via a posterior surgical approach. Overall reoperation rate due to new or recurrent stenoses was 22%, with time to reoperation shorter in smokers (p = 0.033). Independently of the surgical procedure chosen, long-term follow-up (mean 3.9 years) revealed a stable or improved paresis in 87% of the patients (median grade 4/5) and an excellent general performance and quality of life.CONCLUSIONSPainless cervical motor radiculopathy predominantly occurs due to focal compression of the anterior nerve root at the neuroforaminal entrance. Surgical decompression is effective in stabilizing or improving motor function with a resulting favorable long-term outcome.
Longitudinal anterior-to-posterior shift of collateral channels in patients with moyamoya disease: an implication for its hemorrhagic onset

Published: March 2018

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to assess longitudinal changes in the collateral channels originating from the lenticulostriate artery (LSA), posterior communicating artery (PCoA), and anterior and posterior choroidal arteries (AChA and PChA, respectively) during disease progression and/or aging. The impact of collateral channels on onset type was also examined.METHODSThis study included 71 involved hemispheres in 41 patients with moyamoya disease. The disease was categorized into 6 stages according to Suzuki’s angiographic staging system. The degree of development of each moyamoya vessel was categorized into 3 grades.RESULTSThe LSA started to dilate in stage 2, showed the most prominent development in stage 3, and decreased in more advanced stages (p < 0.001). The AChA most notably developed in stage 3 and gradually shrank (p = 0.04). The PCoA started to dilate in stage 3 and showed the most prominent development in stage 4 (p = 0.03). The PChA started to dilate in stage 3 and showed the most prominent development in stages 4 to 5 (p < 0.001). Patient age was negatively related to LSA development (p = 0.01, R = 0.30) and was positively associated with the abnormal dilation and extension of the PCoA (p = 0.02, R = 0.28) and PChA (p < 0.001, R = 0.45). The PCoA, AChA, and PChA more distinctly developed in hemispheres with intracerebral or intraventricular hemorrhage than in hemispheres with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (p < 0.001, p = 0.03, and p = 0.03, respectively).CONCLUSIONSThis study suggests that the collateral channels through moyamoya vessels longitudinally shift from the anterior to posterior component during disease progression and aging, which may be closely related to the onset of hemorrhagic stroke in adult moyamoya disease.

Abstract
We present coordinated Chandra X-ray Observatory and Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array observations of the transitional millisecond pulsar PSR J1023+0038 in its low-luminosity accreting state. The unprecedented five hours of strictly simultaneous X-ray and radio continuum coverage for the first time unambiguously show a highly reproducible, anti-correlated variability pattern. The characteristic switches from the X-ray high mode into a low mode are always accompanied by a radio brightening with a duration that closely matches the X-ray low mode interval. This behavior cannot be explained by a canonical inflow/outflow accretion model where the radiated emission and the jet luminosity are powered by, and positively correlated with, the available accretion energy. We interpret this phenomenology as alternating episodes of low-level accretion onto the neutron star during the X-ray high mode that are interrupted by rapid ejections of plasma by the active rotation-powered pulsar, possibly initiated by a reconfiguration of the pulsar magnetosphere, that cause a transition to a less X-ray luminous mode. The observed anti-correlation between radio and X-ray luminosity has an additional consequence: transitional MSPs can make excursions into a region of the radio/X-ray luminosity plane previously thought to be occupied solely by black hole X-ray binary sources. This complicates the use of this luminosity relation for identifying candidate black holes, suggesting the need for additional discriminants when attempting to establish the true nature of the accretor.
