Expression of genes involved in inflammation and growth – does sampling site in human full-term placenta matter?
Authors: Allbrand Marianne , Åman Jan , Nilsson Kerstin , Cao Yang , Lodefalk Maria 
Published: March 2019

Abstract

Objective
To investigate the placental gene expression of substances in the inflammatory cascade and growth factors at nine different well-defined sampling sites in full-term placentas from 12 normal weight healthy non-smoking women with an uncomplicated singleton pregnancy.

Methods
All placentas (six girls and six boys) were delivered vaginally. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze toll receptor-2 and -4, interleukin-6 and -8, tumor necrosis factor-α, leptin, ghrelin, insulin-like growth factor-1 and -2, hepatocyte growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor receptor and insulin receptor (IR).

Results
The leptin gene and the IR gene showed higher expression in lateral regions near the chorionic plate compared to central regions near the basal plate (P = 0.028 and P = 0.041, respectively).

Conclusion
Our results suggest that the sampling site may influence the gene expression for leptin and IR in placental tissue obtained from full-term normal pregnancies. We speculate that this may be due to differences in placental structure and perfusion and may be important when future studies are designed.
Language ideologies, the soft g, and parody in the Turkish mother tongue classroom
Authors: Karrebæk Martha Sif , Nergiz Özgün 
Published: March 2019

AbstractAlthough not often discussed, complementary (‘mother tongue’) classrooms comprise participants who differ substantially in a number of ways. Differences comprise, e.g. participants’ orientations to and understandings of the indexicalities of linguistic registers, which may have been brought along from the presupposed country of origin. It has local consequences when students and teacher do not share normative models, and students refuse the teacher as an expert authority. For instance, it may disrupt the classroom order and complicate processes of classroom language socialization. The societal context of the complementary classroom also has a potential influence on the local effect of valorized differences. In this paper we illustrate how pronunciation differences are made salient in a Turkish mother tongue classroom in Denmark, and how pronunciation feeds into negotiations of expertise, authority and the keying of classroom activities. Situated humorous performance is juxtaposed and intertwined with practices that conventionally index learning. We compare the case study to the wider societal context to discuss how dominant ideologies of language and education contributed to the teacher’s challenges in the specific classroom setting.

Retention behavior of anionic radionuclides using metal hydroxide sludge
Authors: Hamed Mostafa M. , Ahmed I. M. , Holiel M. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
With the speedy growth of nuclear power production, the removal and disposal of radioactive nuclides such as 129I, 99Tc, 79Se, 36Cl, 93Mo, and 137Cs become major environmental security issues. Retention of these radionuclides, especially anionic species such as 129I (t1/2 1.7 × 107 years), 93Mo (t1/2 4 × 103 years) and 79Se (t1/2 3.27 × 105 years) has been challenging. 129I, 93Mo and 79Se bind very weakly to most sorbents and deposits. This study has examined the sorption potential of Metal hydroxide sludge (MHS) for 125I (t1/2 60.2 days), 99Mo (t1/2 2.75 days) and 75Se (t1/2 120 days) as a surrogate for 129I, 93Mo and 79Se, respectively. MHS has been characterized by different techniques and the factors affecting the sorption processes were investigated. The experimental data were analyzed using kinetic models and thermodynamic parameters. The results showed that the kinetics of sorption of 125I and 99Mo on MHS proceeds according to the pseudo-first-order, on the contrary of 75Se sorption follows pseudo second-order kinetic model. The maximum sorption capacity of MHS was found to be 51.2 mg/g, 46.5 mg/g and 40.2 mg/g for 125I, 99Mo and 75Se, respectively. It can be concluded that, in the case of release of anionic radionuclide species to the surroundings the MHS could act as a succeeded and economical sorbent material for retention of different anionic radionuclides such as 133, 129I, 79Se, 36Cl, 93, 99Mo, and 99Tc. To avoid the release of such anionic species from the stored nuclear wastes to the environment.
Peirce’s universal categories: On their potential for gesture theory and multimodal analysis
Authors: Mittelberg Irene 
Published: March 2019

AbstractThis paper presents an account of how Peirce’s Universal Categories (UCs) of perception and experience may, as heuristic principles, inform gesture theory and multimodal analysis. Peirce’s UCs – Firstness (possibility), Secondness (actuality), and Thirdness (law, habit) – constitute the core of his phenomenology and thus also the foundation of his triadic semiotics. I argue that compared to the basic sign-object relations icon, index, symbol mainly used in previous gesture research, the more fundamental UCs allow one to discern additional facets of how coverbal gestures act as signs. This notably pertains to the phenomenology, multidimensionality, and multifunctionality of gesture. The guiding assumption is that compared to Thirdness-laden linguistic symbols constituting written, spoken or signed discourses, gestures may exhibit the UCs to more strongly varying degrees and in different, modality-specific ways. The multimodal analyses discussed in the paper show how Firstness tends to draw attention to the articulatory qualities of gestural signs, including aesthetic and affective strata, Secondness to their experiential grounding and contextualized meaning, and Thirdness to embodied habits of perceiving, feeling, (inter-)acting, thinking, and communicating with others. I further suggest that particularly through interacting with embodied image schemata and force dynamics, such habits may give rise to flexible regularities and schematicity in gesture.
Roots into functional nodes: Exploring locality and semi-lexicality
Authors: Acedo-Matellán Víctor , Real-Puigdollers Cristina 
Published: March 2019

AbstractWe explore certain predictions of the theory first presented in Acedo-Matellán and Real-Puigdollers (2014), whereby roots correspond to (lately inserted) Vocabulary Items that phonologically and semantically interpret functional nodes. First, we deal with categorizers (a, n, v), a prominent locus for the insertion of roots. Roots such ascatorupare Vocabulary Items that have no context of insertion and are insertable into any categorizer, accounting for the categorial variability of simple words. Derivational affixes like -ationor -alalso correspond to roots inserted into little head categorizers (nanda, respectively, in this case), but their Vocabulary Items have a context of insertion accounting for their categorial rigidity and their c-selection properties. The exploration proposed here focuses, first, on the locality properties of morphemic interactions at the semantic interface, namely, allosemic interactions. We show that our approach makes felicitous predictions seemingly unavailable to those other localist approaches in which roots are distinct nodes in the syntax. Second, we show that the phenomenon of semi-lexicality, as illustrated by classifiers, can be successfully modeled, in our framework, as the insertion of roots into inflectional nodes.
New reasons to root for the Semitic root from Mehri and Neo-Aramaic
Authors: Faust Noam 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
This paper provides two new arguments for the existence of the root as a level of representation in Semitic languages. The first argument, from the South Arabian language Mehri, presents a case of allomorphy in which the choice of the suffixal exponent is sensitive to the last vowel of its base, but not to its last consonant, even though the latter is closer to the position of the suffix than the former. Only an approach which distinguishes between a root and a template can explain this case by placing the template closer to the suffix than the root, against the linear order of segments. The second argument shows how in two Neo-Aramaic languages (Jewish Urmi and Jewish Arbel), only the consonants of verbs must be stored; all other verbal exponents are predictable on this basis.
Detection of Heart Abnormalities Using Fuzzy Decision Making and Wireless Transmission of Disease Information

Published: March 2019

Abstract
This research work aims to implement the automatic detection of heart abnormality type without doctor’s assessment using electrocardiogram (ECG) features. First, the ECG signal is acquired via Ag-AgCl electrodes, preprocessed using the adaptive Wiener filter to remove the noises and classified with the help of feature extraction techniques and fuzzy decision making (FDM) algorithm. The FDM also finds the type of heart abnormality based on ECG features, such as RRp interval, R peak amplitude detection, and QRS complex interval, and then sends the classified type to the doctor wirelessly via a ZigBee module. The virtual instrument software has been used to validate the proposed concept, and results of both software and hardware parts have been presented to show the effectiveness of the work.

A Restinga da Lagoa dos Patos (RLP) compreende São José do Norte, Tavares, Mostardas e Palmares do Sul. O objetivo deste trabalho foi reconhecer as paisagens ameaçadas com base nas formas de uso e ocupação do espaço. Foi utilizado um mapa base de classes de paisagem que correspondem ao uso e ocupação do solo e os descritores métricos foram aplicados aos níveis de classe e da paisagem. As classes antrópicas ocupam mais de dois terços da área total da restinga (68, 6%). A classe antrópico rural é a matriz da paisagem. São José do Norte está mais susceptível aos impactos ocasionados pelas atividades associadas ao setor do petróleo e gás natural. Tavares, com a presença do Parque Nacional da Lagoa do Peixe (PNLP) possui a maior integridade das áreas naturais. Embora Mostardas abrigue parte do PNLP muitos de seus remanescentes naturais podem ser perdidos devido à expansão do cultivo de soja e da silvicultura. Em Palmares do Sul a expansão dos cultivos de arroz e de soja configuram a principal ameaça. O crescimento econômico sem planejamento territorial é uma ameaça à conservação. Portanto, o zoneamento ecológico econômico costeiro e a criação de unidades de conservação são necessárias ao desenvolvimento sustentável.ABSTRACT The Restinga da Lagoa dos Patos (RLP) includes São José do Norte, Tavares, Mostardas and Palmares do Sul municipalities. The goal of this study was the recognition of the threatened landscapes of the RLP, based on type of use and occupation of space. A base map of landscape’s classes was used. The classes correspond to the use and occupation of land. Metrical descriptors were applied to the levels class and landscape. Anthropogenic classes occupy more than two-thirds of the total area of RLP (68.6%). The rural anthropic class is the matrix of the landscape. São José do Norte is more susceptible to the impacts caused by activities from the oil use and gas sector. Tavares, due to the presence of the Parque Nacional da Lagoa do Peixe (PNLP), is the municipality with greater integrity of natural areas. Although Mostardas shelters a part of the PNLP many of its natural remnants may be lost due to agricultural expansion from soybean farming and silviculture. In Palmares do Sul the expansion of rice and soybean plantations figures the major threat. Economic growth without territorial planning threats conservation. Thus, economic ecological zoning and the creation of further environmental protection areas are important actions for sustainable development.Keywords: Restinga da Lagoa dos Patos; landscape ecology; metrics.

Published: March 2019

Abstract
Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) comprises a range of interrelated conditions caused by disruption of the medial layer of the aortic wall, including aortic dissection, intramural haematoma and penetrating aortic ulcer. Since mortality from AAS is high, a prompt and accurate diagnosis using imaging techniques is paramount. Both transthoracic (TTE) and transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) are useful in the diagnosis of AAS. TTE should be the first imaging technique to evaluate patients with thoracic pain in the emergency room. Should AAS be suspected, contrast administration is recommended when images are not definitive. TEE allows high-quality images in thoracic aorta. The main drawback of this technique is that it is semi-invasive and the presence of a blind area that limits visualisation of the distal ascending aorta near. TEE identifies the location and size of the entry tear, secondary communications, true lumen compression and the dynamic flow pattern of false lumen. Although computed tomography (CT) is the most used imaging technique in the diagnosis of AAS, echocardiography offers complementary information relevant for its management. The best imaging strategy for appropriately diagnosing and assessing AAS is to combine CT, mainly ECG-gated contrast-enhanced CT, and TTE. Currently, TEE tends to be carried out in the operating theatre immediately before surgical or endovascular therapy and in monitoring their results. The aims of this review are to establish the current role of echocardiography in the diagnosis and management of AAS based on its advantages and limitations.

AbstractReparation is an integral part of state responsibility for the past of gross human rights violations committed in any country and it is also legal obligation under international law. Those violations have ever committed in Argentina (1976-1983) and Chile (1973-1990) during the military dictatorship regime. The applied method in this study is descriptive-analytic with historical approach to the reparation efforts for the victims of the past gross human rights violations in those countries. The author concludes that the characteristic of the gross human rights violations committed in Argentina and Chile can be categorized as crime against humanity based on the Rome Statute 1998. Reparations programs by fullfiling economic and social rights of the victims of gross human rights violations have been done by both countries as well. Keywords: Reparation, Victim, Violation AbstrakPemulihan adalah bagian integral dari tanggung jawab negara atas pelanggaran berat HAM masa lalu yang terjadi di dalam suatu negara dan hal itu juga merupakan kewajiban hukum menurut hukum internasional.

SISTEM NENGAH SAWAH DI DESA CIKITU KABUPATEN BANDUNG DALAM PANDANGAN HUKUM ISLAM
Authors: Rohmana Asep 
Published: March 2019

AbstractThe practice of muzara'ah, or joint management of agricultural land, can be found in various regions in Indonesia. One of them is in the Cikitu Village, Pacet District, Bandung Regency, using the term nengah. One of the main principles in this muzara'ah is the determination of profit sharing at the beginning of agreement (akad), in addition to other requirements. The pillars are the parties, seeds and the types of plants to be planted, land to be cultivated, and the processing period. This study raises issues regarding the suitability of nengah with the conditions required by muzara'ah. The approach method used in this study is case study with data obtained from interviews, fiqh muamalah documentation and references. The results of the study show that the nengah system in Cikitu Village has fulfilled the pillars of muzara'ah. However, from the conditions, the profit sharing between land owner and farmer is not determined at the beginning of agreement (akad), but at harvest time. If the results are good, the distribution is 50:50, but if the yield is considered unsatisfactory, then the profit sharing is 2/3 for the land owner and 1/3 for the sharecropper. The determination has an element of uncertainty (gharar) in the distribution of crops.Keywords:Muzara’ah, land cultivation, sharecropAbstrakPraktik muzara’ah, atau pengelolaan bersama lahan pertanian, dapat ditemukan di berbagai wilayah di Indonesia. Salah satunya adalah di Desa Cikitu Kecamatan Pacet, Kabupaten Bandung dengan menggunakan istilah nengah. Salah satu prinsip utama dalam muzara’ah ini adalah penetapan pembagian hasil di awal akad, di samping persyaratan lainnya. Adapun rukunnya adalah orang yang berakad, benih dan jenis tanaman yang akan ditanam, lahan yang dikerjakan, dan jangka waktu pengolahan. Kajian ini mengangkat permasalahan mengenai kesesuaian pelaksanaan nengah dengan ketentuan yang disyaratkan dalam muzara’ah tersebut. Metode pendekatan yang digunakan dalam kajian ini yaitu studi kasus dengan data-data yang diperoleh dari hasil wawancara, dokumentasi dan referensi fiqh muamalah. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa penggarapan lahan dengan cara nengah sawah di Desa Cikitu telah memenuhi rukun muzara’ah. Namun dari syarat, pembagian hasil untuk petani pemilik lahan dan petani penggarap tidak ditentukan pada waktu akad, melainkan ditentukan pada waktu panen. Ketentuan tersebut antara lain jika hasilnya bagus maka pembagiannya 50:50, akan tetapi jika hasil panennya dirasa kurang memuaskan, maka bagi hasilnya 2/3 untuk pemilik lahan dan 1/3 untuk petani penggarap. Penetapan tersebut memiliki unsur ketidakpastian (gharar) dalam pembagian hasil panen.Kata Kunci :Muzara’ah, Nengah, penggarapan lahan

Published: March 2019

Background: Diabetes has become global issue due to premature illness and death due to its complications. Awareness about good health seeking practices are essential for prevention, early detection and management of diabetic complications. Objective of the study was to evaluate the health seeking practices among diabetics (>10 years of duration) in the field practice areas of Government Medical College, Amritsar.Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in rural and urban areas of district, Amritsar. A total of 200 diabetic patients who had diabetes equal to or more than 10 years of duration were interviewed using pretested and predesigned questionnaire. Data such collected was analysed at p<0.05.Results: Out of total 200 diabetic respondents, 50% (100) were from urban and 50% (100) were from the rural area. In both urban and rural areas, majority were literate i.e. 80% (161) and employed i.e. 51% (103). The mean age of diabetic respondents was 58.05 years with a male to female ratio of 1.1:1. The majority 82% (165) were diagnosed in the private sector and 99% (198) were on allopathic treatment. Oral hypoglycaemic agents were used by 77% (153) patients to manage their disease. 23% (45) were using both oral hypoglycaemic agents and insulin. About 48% (96) were monitoring their RBS regularly, 76% (151) were on regular treatment for diabetes and 55 (27%) were doing physical activity.Conclusions: Poor health seeking practices and less awareness about non pharmacological measures are main factors for development of complications among diabetics.
