Besides to the effects from tidal, coastline position changed due to abrasion and accretion. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the position of coastline, one of them by utilizing Landsat data by using edge detection and NDWI filter. Edge detection is a mathematical method that aims to identify a point on a digital image based on the brightness level. Edge detection is used because it is very good to present the appearance of a very varied object on the image so it can be distinguished easily. NDWI is able to separate land and water clearly, making it easier for coastline analysis. This study aimed to detect coastline changes in Ujung Pangkah of Gresik Regency caused by accretion and abrasion using edge detection and NDWI filters on temporal Landsat data (2000 and 2015). The data used in this research was Landsat 7 in 2000 and Landsat 8 in 2015. The results showed that the coastline of Ujung Pangkah Gresik underwent many changes due to accretion and abrasion. The accretion area reached 11,35 km2 and abrasion 5,19 km2 within 15 year period. Abstrak Selain akibat adanya pasang surut, posisi garis pantai berubah akibat adanya abrasi dan akresi. Oleh karena itu diperlukan adanya deteksi posisi garis pantai, salah satunya dengan memanfaatkan data Landsat dengan menggunakan filter edge detection dan NDWI. Edge detection adalah suatu metode matematika yang bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi suatu titik pada gambar digital berdasarkan tingkat kecerahan. Filter edge detection digunakan karena sangat baik untuk menyajikan penampakan obyek yang sangat bervariasi pada citra sehingga dapat dibedakan dengan mudah. NDWI mampu memisahkan antara daratan dan perairan dengan jelas sehingga memudahkan untuk analisis garis pantai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk deteksi perubahan garis pantai di Ujung Pangkah Kabupaten Gresik yang disebabkan oleh adanya akresi dan abrasi dengan menggunakan filter edge detection dan NDWI pada data Landsat temporal (tahun 2000 dan 2015). Data yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah citra Landsat 7 tahun 2000 dan Landsat 8 tahun 2015. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa garis pantai di Ujung Pangkah Gresik banyak mengalami perubahan akibat adanya akresi dan abrasi.

ABSTRACTIn peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), most agronomically important traits such as yield, disease resistance, and pod and kernel characteristics are quantitatively inherited. Phenotypic selection of these traits in peanut breeding programs can be augmented by marker-assisted selection. However, reliable associations between unambiguous genetic markers and phenotypic traits have to be established by genetic mapping prior to early generation marker-assisted selection. Previously, a nested association mapping (NAM) population of 16 recombinant inbred line populations (RILs) consisting 4870 lines was established. In order to facilitate effective mapping of such a large genetic resource, the first objective of the current study was to phenotype the parental lines for yield, pod traits, field maturity, germination, plant morphology, salt tolerance and resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and late leaf spot (LLS). For most measured traits, more than one parental combination demonstrated statistically significant variation which can be further quantified and mapped in the respective RIL populations. The second objective of this study was to genotype the parental lines using the Arachis Axiom SNP arrays to reveal the marker density of the mapping populations. The Version 1 array identified 1,000 to 4,000 SNPs among the population parents and the number of SNPs doubled on the Version 2 array. Further phenotyping and genotyping of the NAM populations will allow the construction of high density genetic maps containing quantitative trait loci.

Published: February 2018

Introduction: Increasing carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter spp calls for the appraisal of alternative strategies in Acinetobacter spp infection therapy. This study aims at evaluating colistin-carbapenem combination against Acinetobacter spp using the checkerboard, Etest, and time-kill methods.
Methodology: One hundred nonrepetitive Acinetobacter spp isolates were collected from patients admitted at the Saint-George-Hospital-University-Medical-Center over a one year period. The identification was performed using the API20NE and confirmed by the amplification of the blaOXA-51-like. Susceptibility to colistin, and carbapenems were determined using the Etest, microdilution methods and interpreted according to the CLSI, 2015. Detection of the carbapenemases was performed by PCR amplification method. Clonality was determined by the 3-Locus PCR-typing and ERIC-PCR methods. The synergistic potential of the combination was determined by calculating the Fractional-Inhibitory-Concentration-Index, which determines a synergistic, additive, indifferent or antagonistic effect.
Results: In our study (84%) of the isolates were carbapenem resistant. Only one strain showed resistance to colistin. (99%) and (77%) of the Acinetobacter spp isolates harbored blaOXA-51-like and blaOXA-23-like respectively. (86.2%) of the A.baumannii isolates pertained to the International Clone II. An additive effect of the colistin-carbapenem combination was determined using the 3 methods. A decrease of 2.6 and 2.8 folds in the MIC of colistin was showed in colistin-meropenem and colistin-imipenem, respectively (p < 0.001). The Colistin-meropenem showed better effects when compared to colistin-imipenem (p < 0.05). Only a few isolates showed a synergistic effect in the time-kill assay.
Conclusion: Our study showed that the decrease in the MIC of colistin following colistin-carbapenem combination might be a promising antimicrobial approach for treating carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp.

Forests set natural conditions and embody a repository of biological diversity that represents a myriad of ecosystem services for human well-being. The spatial patterns and the forest ecosystems’ dynamics over time make the forests of particular environmental significance for the provision of ecosystem services. The terrestrial biodiversity and the sustainable management strategies' demand for mapping and assessment of the dynamics for the condition of forest ecosystems by drawing attention to the soil properties. In order to take on that task, the data series obtained by the International Co-operative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Forests (ICP Forests) for the period 1986–2016 were found as appropriate quantitative indicators that convey information about the ecosystem’s capacity to provide certain regulating ecosystem services. The ICP Forests Level I sites, located in the Central Balkan region, provide consistent information, which is collected on a regular basis about observed forest stands.
The primary focus of the present research is to conduct a biophysical assessment of the forest ecosystems and to define their overall condition regarding two time series – the periods 1992/1993 and 2015. This study attempts to introduce an innovative approach and aims at linking the existing ICP Forests network dataset with the ecosystem services concept and the identified spatial units from the CORINE Land Cover (CLC) polygons for the territory of Central Balkan National Park. On this basis and through the implementation of GIS techniques, the dynamics of soil properties in selected forest ecosystems was analysed with regard to their capacity to supply relevant ecosystems services, which were assessed and mapped. The biophysical data provides robust information on the ecosystem services and the results show the variations in the capacity of different forest sub-types to provide ecosystem services within a well-defined land cover unit. Additionally, the research work intended to review the generated outcomes with reference to the DPSIR (driver-pressure-state-impact-response) method by giving feedback on the changes in the terrestrial ecosystems in the last 25 years. Further application of the mapping approach in assisting the communication in the decision- making process is also discussed.

Published: February 2018

Background & objectives:
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are a major challenge to patient safety and have serious public health implications by changing the quality of life of patients and sometimes causing disability or even death. The true burden of HAI remains unknown, particularly in developing countries. The objective of this study was to estimate point prevalence of HAI and study the associated risk factors in a tertiary care hospital in Pune, India.

Methods:
A series of four cross-sectional point prevalence surveys were carried out between March and August 2014. Data of each patient admitted were collected using a structured data entry form. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines were used to identify and diagnose patients with HAI.

Results:
Overall prevalence of HAI was 3.76 per cent. Surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) (25%), medical ICU (20%), burns ward (20%) and paediatric ward (12.17%) were identified to have significant association with HAI. Prolonged hospital stay [odds ratio (OR=2.81), mechanical ventilation (OR=18.57), use of urinary catheter (OR=7.89) and exposure to central air-conditioning (OR=8.59) had higher odds of acquiring HAI (P<0.05).

Interpretation & conclusions:
HAI prevalence showed a progressive reduction over successive rounds of survey. Conscious effort needs to be taken by all concerned to reduce the duration of hospital stay. Use of medical devices should be minimized and used judiciously. Healthcare infection control should be a priority of every healthcare provider. Such surveys should be done in different healthcare settings to plan a response to reducing HAI.

Published: February 2018

Background & objectives:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is common in some ethnic groups. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive cytokine that may be an important regulator in MS disease pathogenesis. IL-10 promoter includes several single nucleotide polymorphisms and the level of IL-10 expression is related to these polymorphisms. Furthermore, loci within the histocompatibility regions are responsible for susceptibility to MS. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of IL-10 gene promoter polymorphisms and HLA-DRB1*15 allele frequencies with MS susceptibility in an Iranian population.

Methods:
In this study 336 MS patients and 454 healthy controls were included. Genomic DNA was purified from peripheral blood samples by a standard protocol. Genotyping was performed by the sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction method.

Results:
IL-10 −1082 G/G and IL-10 −819 C/C genotypes were more frequent in MS patients than healthy individuals. DRB1* 15 allele showed a higher frequency among MS patients compared to controls.

Interpretation & conclusions:
The IL-10 and HLA-DRB1*15 polymorphisms were associated with the susceptibility to MS in Iranian patients. Our results suggest that gene-gene interaction of IL-10 polymorphisms and HLA-DRB1*15 alleles may be important factors in the development of MS.

Background & objectives:
Rheumatic fever (RF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) are the autoimmune sequelae caused by Group A Streptococcus. RHD still remains a major concern in the developing countries due to its poor diagnosis, lack of vaccines and social awareness among population. This study was aimed to identify the plausible early- and late-stage disease markers associated with RF/RHD.

Methods:
A total of 84 patients with confirmed pharyngitis (n=18), RF (n=23) and RHD (n=43) were included in the comparative analysis of different factors involved in host-pathogen interaction during RF/RHD pathogenesis.

Results:
This study revealed high titre of serum antistreptolysin O (ASO) antibody in pharyngitis compared to RF and RHD patients, whereas procollagen type 1 C-peptide (PICP) level was elevated in RHD which showed an inverse correlation with serum ASO titre. The significant elevation of serum anti-peptide associated with RF (PARF) antibody in RF patients was correlated as a probable stage-specific determinant. In addition, pro-inflammatory cytokine profile revealed high levels of interleukin-12 (IL-12)/IL-23p40, IL-17A in RF, whereas IL-6 concentration was higher in RHD compared to healthy controls.

Interpretation & conclusions:
The overall assessment of the factors/disease markers involved in host-pathogen interaction in RF/RHD may be suggestive of plausible disease marker in different groups of patients. Further studies with larger sample need to be done to better understand RF/RHD pathogenesis.

Published: February 2018

In order to build up a relationship between quality and productivity, the present work focuses an optimized approach to establishing the multi-objective machining parameters and mathematical models for Pressure and Voltage on CNC turning machine (SINUMERIK802D). The Pressure and Voltage seem to be known as quality issues; they are as well presumed to have direct association with productivity. In this study, minimization of response parameters has been identified by using design of experimental methods, Taguchi Analysis and Response surface methodology (RSM). The conduct of experiments was made by employing the Taguchi’s L27 Orthogonal array to design the experiment by considering spindle speed (SS), feed rate (FR), angle of cut (AOC) and depth of cut (DOC) as Machining parameters. The model for the Pressure and Voltage, as the function of response parameters, is obtained using the RSM. Finally, the result of developed mathematical model is examined by ANOVA. Experimental results indicate that the feed rate, angle of cut and depth of cut are the leading parameters that affect the Pressure (P). similarly for Voltage (V), all the cutting parameters (Spindle speed, feed rate, angle of cut and depth of cut) are found to be significant, which can be diminished when the significant factors were kept at the lower level, while other factors were kept at the highest level. On the Basis of analysis, it is found that both the optimization techniques predict the results in fair agreement.Keywords:SINUMERIK802D, Machining parameters, RSM, Taguchi Method, ANOVA.

Abstract

English title: Support networks of immigrant parents: A blueprint for the educative community in the 21st century?

How can educative communities -initiatives of citizens to organize collective support for child raising- be optimized given the changing social fabric of the 21st century? Using the idea of networked individualism as a prototype of how support is organized in our current era, the question is raised how collective arrangements for child raising can be conceived when autonomy and individualism in parenting still gain importance. An empirical study of support networks of immigrant parents is used to point to the variety of ways in which individual parents seek to build new networks post-migration. Turning their back to old collectivities, these parents build individual networks of peers and professionals to gain new and specialized expertise according to their specific needs. It is argued that their network strategies can be a source of inspiration for how to conceive of educative communities in the 21st century given their ability to seek out new connections and expertise, their awareness of the importance of peer learning, and ability to connect the sometimes contradictory knowledge in order to make it work for their parenting.

Abstract

The Evidence ‘Beast’ and the Normativity of Child-Rearing

In 2008 Micha de Winter warned people to watch out for, what he coined, ‘the Evidence Beast’, referring to a too narrow focus within the Dutch youth care system on evidence and effectivity. This concern was also the main instigator for my PhD research conducted under his (and Prof. Koops’) supervision. In this article I address some of the ‘beasts’ of a strict evidence-based focus within the professional field of youth care. Some of these problems are related to the ways in which EBP is used in the Dutch youth care system (a strict focus on effectivity, a lack of professional reflection and a lack of professionals’ discretionary power). The most important and most Dewinterian issue however is the implicit normativity in child rearing in contrast to the rather technical, and presumed neutral, child rearing approach in youth care interventions. I conclude the article with several suggestions for the future, in order to give more room to important value-laden elements in the support that is offered to parents through youth care interventions.
