Abstract

Background:
It has been reported that the uncoupling proteins (UCPs) can contribute to energy metabolism, and are thus involved in the pathogenesis of obesity. The objective of the study was to analyze the association between UCP polymorphisms, clinical parameters and leptin and adiponectin plasma levels in an adolescent population with overweight and obesity.

Methods:
We analyzed the UCP1 -3826 C/T, UCP2-866 G/A, Ala55Val and UCP3 -55 C/T polymorphisms and the levels of adipokines in adolescents with normal weight and with overweight or obesity. The study included 270 students aged between 12 and 18 years categorized according to the percentiles from Mexico City. Adipokines levels were measured by immunoassay methods and the UCP polymorphisms were determined using Taqman real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Results:
No significant differences were found in the UCP polymorphisms in seven inheritance models studied. Most of the significant differences in the clinical parameters were found under a recessive model, the UCP2 -866 polymorphism was associated with diastolic blood pressure (p=0.008), triglycerides (p=0.045), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) (p=0.003), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) (p=0.050) and plasma levels of leptin (p<0.001). Also, the obese group was found to have higher leptin levels and lower adiponectin levels in GA+AA vs. GG (recessive model).

Conclusions:
This study demonstrated a direct relationship between the clinical characteristics and UCP2-866 in a recessive model, associated with high levels of leptin and decreased levels of adiponectin in an obese or overweight Mexican adolescent population.
Bianisotropic metasurfaces: physics and applications

Published: April 2018

AbstractMetasurfaces as optically thin composite layers can be modeled as electric and magnetic surface current sheets flowing in the layer volume in the metasurface plane. In the most general linear metasurface, the electric surface current can be induced by both incident electric and magnetic fields. Likewise, magnetic polarization and magnetic current can be induced also by external electric field. Metasurfaces which exhibit magnetoelectric coupling are called bianisotropic metasurfaces. In this review, we explain the role of bianisotropic properties in realizing various metasurface devices and overview the state-of-the-art of research in this field. Interestingly, engineered bianisotropic response is seen to be required for realization of many key field transformations, such as anomalous refraction, asymmetric reflection, polarization transformation, isolation, and more. Moreover, we summarize previously reported findings on uniform and gradient bianisotropic metasurfaces and envision novel and prospective research directions in this field.
Finite semiotics: Recovery functions, semioformation, and the hyperreal
Authors: Shackell Cameron 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
The grounding of semiotics in the finiteness of cognition is extended by examining the assumption that cognition can be compared or described. To this end, the two means by which qualitative values for cognition are putatively derived – introspection and observation – are framed in terms of the semiosic field as metacognition and trans-metacognition. These recovery functions are seen to be complex and mutable, dependent on context and habitus rather than objective encapsulation of past thought. An alternative view of cognitive similarity is offered: that recovery functions stabilize a mythology of cognition that facilitates its allocation by important discourses such as psychology, neurology, philosophy, and indeed semiotics. These superstructural discourses, in turn, operate to shape the context and habitus of new agents, including the proliferation of recovery functions. To formalize this cyclically determinative process, a concept of semioformation is introduced that locates the ontogeny of agents among the cumulative externalities of other agents. Determination, rather than description, is therefore posited as the effect of the assignment of qualitative or equivalence values to cognition. With this in mind, technology is highlighted as a critical area in which to examine recovery functions and semioformation. In particular, the category of the real is seen as undergoing rapid mutation.

ABSTRACTThe maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in Indonesia remains high, i.e approximately 359 per 100.000 life birth (IDHS 2012). MMR is an indicator of mother’s health, especially the risk of being death for a mother while pregnant and delivery. Mostly the majority of maternal mortality (MMR) is occurring in the first two days after delivery and care after giving birth services required to manage complication. Sidoarjo regency has high postpartum maternal mortality case, so it is necessary to study determinants influencing postpartum maternal mortality in that regency. This research aimed to analyze the determinants that influence postpartum maternal mortality. This research was an observational research using case control study. Number of samples was 21 cases and 43 controls. Data were analyzed by univariate analysis, bivariate analysis with chi-square test, and multivariate analysis with multiple logistic regressions. The result showed that the determinants which influence postpartum maternal mortality according to multivariate analysis were pre-eclampsia/eclampsia (OR = 20,98; 95%CI : 2,250 – 323,416; p = 0,008) and delivery complication (OR = 5,47; 95%CI : 1,356 – 22,022; p = 0,017). Probability of mother to have risk of postpartum maternal mortality with all those risk factors above was 92,9%. This research recommended are need to detect early sign of pregnancy, delivery, and post delivery complication, especially danger sign of pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, referral preparation, and pregnancy planning.

ABSTRACTThe increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity is associated with the increasing incident of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Obesity, especially abdominal obesity is an important risk factor for the onset of diabetes. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between body mass index, waist circumference and waist hip ratio with blood glucose level. The study design was cross-sectional. The study population was elderly posyandu member aged 45 to 70 years in Menur clinic work area who were registered in elderly posyandu activities in May 2013. The numbers of sample were 60 respondents who drawn by simple random sampling method. The variabels of this study were the characteristics of respondent, body mass index, waist circumference, waist hip ratio and fasting blood glucose level. The study showed that respondents classified as overweight (38%), obesity (33, 3%), abdominal obesity based on waist circumference (77.8%), abdominal obesity based on waist hip ratio (81,7 %) and blood glucose level more than 125 mg/dl (8.3%). Pearson correlation test showed that there was relationship between body mass index with blood sugar levels (p=0,007; r=0,345), between waist circumference with blood sugar levels (p=0,001; r=0,424) and between waist hip ratio with blood sugar levels (p =0,002; r=0,392). Waist circumference as the strongest factor related to blood glucose level. Waist circumference measurement should be done in elderly posyandu activities to detect high-risk individuals with diabetes.

The infant with Low Birth Weight (LBW) was one of the risk factors that contributed to the high infant mortality, especially in the neonatal period. About 17% from 25 millions birth each year in the world are infant with LBW. LBW could be caused by multifactor that were maternal factors (maternal age, birth interval, parity, anemia), social-economic and behaviour, fetus factor, placental factor, and environmental factor. The research aims was to analyze the risk factors correlated with incidence of LBW. This research was an observational research with case-control design. The number of samples in this research were 120 mothers who delivered in working area of RSIA Kendangsari in 2014. The subjects were selected used systematic random method. The independent variabels in this research were maternal age, education level, employment status, birth interval, parity, age pregnancy, multiple pregnancy, hypertension, and anemia, while the dependent variable in this research was LBW. Based on correlation analysis used Chi-square test showed there were not significant correlation (p>0,05) between birth interval and parity with LBW cases and there were significant correlations (p<0,05) between age pregnancy, hypertension during pregnancy and anemia with LBW cases. Odds Ratio (OR) were 13,571 on age pregnancy, 2,224 on multiple pregnancy,2,753 on hypertension and 4,030 on anemia. The conlusion showed that the risk factors of LBW cases were age pregnancy, multiple pregnancy, hypertension and anemia. While maternal age, education level, employment status, birth intervaland parity were not had any correlation with LBW cases.Keywords: LBW, risk factors, babies, maternal, pregnancy

Authors: Ryan Amala Carine 
Published: April 2018

Hipertensi atau tekanan darah tinggi merupakan salah satu penyakit tidak menular yang menjadi masalah kesehatan yang sangat serius baik di Indonesia maupun di dunia. Berdasarkan data Departemen Kesehatan Republik Indonesia (Depkes RI) memaparkan bahwa kasus hipertensi di Indonesia sebagai penyebab kematian untuk semua umur yaitu sebanyak 6,8%. Kementerian Kesehatan membuat kebijakan untuk mengelola penyakit hipertensi yaitu salah satunya dengan mengembangkan dan memperkuat kegiatan deteksi dini hipertensi secara aktif atau yang disebut juga sebagai kegiatan skrinning. Tujuan dalam penelitian ini adalah menilai validitas instrumen skrining hipertensi dan memberikan rekomendasi sesuai dengan temuan yang didapat. Instrumen skrining hipertensi yang digunakan berupa kuesioner dengan teknik pengumpulan data adalah dengan menggunakan data primer yang dilakukan dengan cara wawancara. Data didapat dari 41 responden dan berdasar data yang telah terkumpul, diperoleh sebanyak 15 (36,6%) responden mengidap hipertensi yang diukur menggunkan instrumen skrining berupa kuesioner, sedangkan berdasar pengukuran menggunakan alat tensimeter sebagai gold standart ditemukan sebanyak 21 (51,2%) responden yang memiliki hipertensi. Didapatkan untuk penilaian validitas instrumen skrining secara keseluruhan dapat dikategorikan cukup baik, yaitu dengan nilai sensivisitas 0,7143 (71,43%), spesifisitas 1,0 (100%), nilai prediksi positif 1,0 (100%), dan nilai prediksi negatif 0, 7692 (76,92%). Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa kuesioner tersebut sebagai insrumen skrining masih belum dapat digunakan sebagai media skrining hipertensi secara optimal atau belum sepenuhnya valid sehingga masih memerlukan pengembangan instrumen lebih lanjut.
Student Orientation: empowering our students to be active participants and to become partners in learning
Authors: Pickford Ruth 
Published: April 2018

Active participation and partnership are different; active participation neither always leads to partnership nor evidences it. However, a student’s active participation in classes, in her/his course and in university life is a highly desirable undergraduate attribute and is a prerequisite for any staff-student partnership. As students may rationally choose not to participate in particular ways deemed compulsory by an institution if these do not align with their personal goals, any requirements designed to influence directly a student’s active participation thus need to be thoughtfully considered and carefully implemented. Rather than enforcing a series of requirements, the institutional responsibility is both to facilitate opportunities for students to engage and to support all new students to participate actively in their course. This paper explores the different approaches taken across one large UK university in supporting new students to become active participants in their own learning. The range of approaches adopted highlighted the importance of contextual and disciplinary factors in shaping effective orientation processes. Subsequent analysis was used to produce a model of the relationship between the underpinning conditions and activities that support students to develop as active participants in their institutions. It is suggested that this model and the method used to collect data and to implement outcomes is transferable to other universities.
