Published: August 2018

Abstract
The deammonification process, which includes nitritation and anammox bacteria, is an energy-efficient nitrogen removal process. Starting up an anammox process in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is still widely believed to require external seeding of anammox bacteria. To demonstrate the principle of a non-seeded anammox start-up, anammox bacteria in potential sources must be quantified. In this study, seven digesters, their substrates and reject water were sampled and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to quantify both total and viable anammox bacteria. The results show that mesophilic digesters fed with nitrifying sludge (with high sludge ages) can be classified as a reliable source of anammox bacteria. Sludge hygienization and dewatering of digestate reduce the amount of anammox bacteria by one to two orders of magnitude and can be considered as a sink. The sampled reject waters contained on average &gt;4.0 × 104 copies mL−1 and the majority of these cells (&gt;87%) were viable cells. Furthermore, plants with side-stream anammox treatment appear to have higher overall quantities of anammox bacteria than those without such treatment. The present study contributes to the development of sustainable strategies for both start-up of anammox reactors and the possibility of improving microbial management in WWTPs.

Authors: Mohajan Haradhan Kumar 
Published: August 2018

The Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic minority group in Rakhine, are considered among the most persecuted, vulnerable, and oppressed minorities in the world. Recently, the persecution on the Rohingya Muslims has increased due to Buddhist nationalism in Myanmar. The Rohingya continue to suffer from several forms of restrictions and human rights violations in Myanmar due to them being denied Myanmar citizenship. They are victims of various forms of oppression, such as arbitrary taxation, land confiscation, destruction of mosques, torture and ill-treatment, extrajudicial executions, restrictions on movements, forced eviction and house destruction, forced laborers on roads and at military camps, and financial restrictions on marriage. Since the 1970s, a number of crackdowns on the Rohingya in Rakhine have forced them to flee to neighboring countries. More than one million Rohingyas have migrated to refugee camps in the Bangladeshi district of Cox’s Bazar. This article deals with the origin of the Rohingya, the form of their citizenship, and recent oppression in the Rakhine State of Myanmar.

Authors: Díaz Santamaría William Ricardo 
Published: August 2018

La vinculación de la academia al Pacto Intersectorial por la Madera Legal en Colombia y a los diversos Acuerdos Regionales, posibilita la incorporación de acciones puntuales enmarcadas en la investigación, la formación y la proyección social y comunitaria, que propendan por asegurar que la madera que se extrae, aprovecha, transforma, transporta, comercializa y usa en el país, provenga de fuentes legales. Aunque se reconoce la importancia en la formación académica de los profesionales del sector forestal y agroforestal, la incorporación de instituciones educativas que ofertan programas técnicos, tecnológicos y profesionales al Pacto y a los acuerdos regionales ha sido paulatina. Se genera por lo tanto un camino para afrontar las dinámicas en el sector forestal, la identificación de escenarios factibles para la búsqueda de alternativas productivas en las áreas boscosas del territorio nacional bajo la óptica de la legalidad, el reconocimiento de potencialidades de desarrollo y de conservación en las comunidades que viven en y del bosque, acompañados por los procesos formativos y académicos que deben generarse desde las instituciones educativas. Los compromisos de la academia están enmarcados en acciones para la divulgación y sensibilización en temas de legalidad forestal, la participación en iniciativas que propendan por la sostenibilidad del recurso, y la realización de acciones de orden investigativo y formativo de profesionales y de la comunidad directamente afectada por el tráfico de especies forestales.

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
To evaluate association and causation between maxillary lateral incisors' (MxI2) apical root volume (ARV) and palatally displaced canines (PDC).

Materials and Methods:
In a retrospective cross-sectional study, computed tomography scans of 179 patients with unilateral PDC were analyzed. MxI2 root length and volume on the impaction and eruption side were measured. A mixed logit model was used to infer the association between ARV and PDC and an instrumental variables approach to interpret causality.

Results:
MxI2 root length on the impaction side was shorter in 42%, equal in 33% and longer in 25% of the patients. ARV amounted for 13.5% of total root volume on the impaction and 14.9% on the eruption side. Reduced ARV was significantly associated with the impaction side (P &lt; .001). The causal effect of ARV on PDC in the instrumental variable approach amounted to less than half of the association in a standard noncausal approach.

Conclusions:
An association between PDC and reduced MxI2 root length and volume was confirmed. However, the lack of causality did not allow the researchers to draw a conclusion as to whether a reduced ARV is causing PDC or resulting from it; this should be considered in etiologic theories.

Published: August 2018

Abstract
The autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha is the region with the biggest vineyard area of Spain. The rural landscape is totally adapted to the geographical conditions of the Mediterranean Europe, with signs of proper identity derived from its historical tradition and a peculiar way of working the territory by the population. Its natural dynamics and complexity, consequence of the capacity to adapt to social and economic processes which have conditioned it over time, is united to the importance of the agricultural structure. This work has the objective to analyse that kind of process with the analysis of the vineyard’s historical evolution, transformations derived from the application of the Common Agrarian Policy of the European Union, and its undeniable cultural nature that means an interesting potential to contribute to the territorial development.

Published: August 2018

Background: Fresh loquat leaves contain several kinds of flavonoids and have been reported to have preventive effects against some human diseases such as diabetes, coughs and ulcers,. Recently, fresh loquat leaves in Japan were processed to a beverage, called loquat tea, after the fresh leaves are roasted at 350C for 30 minutes. However, the scientific evidence supporting the functions of these processed leaves is still minimal.Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of roasted loquat tea extract (LTE) in vitro and in culture cells.Methods: Bioactive fractions of LTE were separated by column chromatograph. Antioxidant activities were determined by DPPH and ROS assay. Pro-inflammatory mediators cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were determined by Western blot and ELISA assay, respectively. Chemical quantification and characterization were analyzed by HPLC, FR-IR, and NMR. Phenolic content was measured by Folin-Ciocalteu assay.Results: The results showed that loquat tea extract (LTE) possessed stronger DPPH scavenging activity than fresh. Cellular data revealed that LTE inhibited the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and further suppressed the production of COX-2 and PGE2 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.7 cells. Chemical quantification and characterization data indicated that LTE contained new bioactive phenolic components that were produced from the roasting processes of fresh loquat leaves.Conclusions: Loquat tea made from roasted loquat leaves contained new bioactive phenolic compounds that contribute to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.Keywords: Loquat tea, Antioxidant activity, Anti-inflammatory activity, Chemical characterization

Published: August 2018

Background: The efficacy of an extract from date seeds has been tested successfully on the glycemic control of type I diabetes mellitus in rats. A suggestion that date seed extract could stimulate certain cells to differentiate into insulin-secreting cells has been proposed. In order to investigate such a possibility, this study was conducted to measure C-peptide levels in the serum of type 1 diabetic rats treated with date seed extract.Methods: Two hundred rats were divided into 4 groups. Group I served as the control. Group II was given daily ingestions of 10 ml of date seed extract. Groups III and IV were made diabetic by streptozotocin injection and were given daily subcutaneous injections of 3 IU/day of insulin for 8 weeks. Group IV received, in addition, daily ingestions of 10 ml of seed extract. At the end of experiment, blood samples were collected from each rat, and blood glucose and serum C-peptide levels were measured.Results: No significant differences in the means of blood glucose and serum C-peptide levels were observed between groups I (control group) and II (date seed extract-treated control group). Group IV (date seed extract-insulin-treated diabetic group) showed a statistically significant reduction in the mean blood glucose level compared to Group III (insulin-treated diabetic group). The mean serum C-peptide level was significantly higher in group IV compared to group III.Conclusion: Biochemical results suggested an increase in endogenous insulin secretion in the case of type 1 diabetic rats treated with date seed extract, which might be the cause of its hypoglycemic effect.Keywords: Date seed extract; type 1 diabetes; serum C-peptide
