EPISTIMOLOGI ALI SYARI’ATI DAN RELEVANSINYA DALAM MEMBANGUN PEMIKIRAN ISLAM SEBAGAI WORLD VIEW
Authors: Fidausy M. Anwar 
Published: March 2019

Ali Syari’ati is a revolusioner profile who has a great role in Islamic thought. He revolutionary power to release people who are oppressed both culturally and politically. This paper analyzes some concepts on human and the history which views from a sociological point of view as the answer of his criticism on Marx's thought. Islam according to Syari'ati is not only concern with spiritual dimension, but also as the ideology of emancipation and liberation. According Syari’ati, the truly Islamic society does not recognize level of class. It is a place for people who lose their right, and who are marginalized, starving, oppressed, and discriminated. The message of Islam is the message of democracy as stated in the Qur'an. Moreover, Syari'ati relies heavily on the belief that Islam as a scientific school of sociology should be functioned as Qur'an to view human, society, and history. He stresses that history is a flow of event which is sustainable.

Abstract
Background

Mutations of cyclooxygenase gene (COX gene) may increase the susceptibility of ischemic stroke. We investigated five variants (rs5788, rs1330344, rs3842788, rs20417, and rs689466) of two COX genes to explain the association between these polymorphisms and ischemic stroke risk determine whether gene–gene interaction between these genes increase the susceptibility of ischemic stroke or its subtype.

Methods

A total of 1981 study subjects (1078 cases and 903 control subjects) were recruited. The interaction of multiple factors was investigated using Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction and additive effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms on ischemic stroke or its subtypes were analyzed by multiple factor logistic regression.

Results

At COX-1(rs1330344), AA genotype carriers had a lower susceptibility of ischemic stroke (OR=0.657, 95%CI= 0.437-0.988, P = 0.044), and A allele carriers had a lower susceptibility of ischemic stroke (OR=0.812, 95%CI= 0.657-0.978, P = 0.029). At COX-1(rs3842788), AA genotype carriers had a higher susceptibility of ischemic stroke (OR =5.203, 95% CI=1.519-5.159, P =0.016). At COX-2 (rs689466), AA genotype carriers had a higher susceptibility of large-artery atherosclerosis (OR =1.404, 95% CI=1.019-1.934, P =0.038). COX-1(rs1330344, rs3842788) and COX-2 rs689466 interacted in SVO, but had no additive effect with ischemic stroke or its subtypes.

Conclusions

At rs1330344, AA genotype may reduce the susceptibility of ischemic stroke. At rs3842788, AA genotype may increase the susceptibility of ischemic stroke. At rs689466, AA genotype may increase the susceptibility of large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA). COX-1(rs1330344, rs3842788) and COX-2 rs689466 interacted in small vessel occlusion (SVO), but had no additive effect with ischemic stroke or its subtypes.

Abstract
Due to the failure of municipal supply systems in many Nigerian cities, residents often resort to long storage of water in large high-density polyethylene (HDPE) tanks in order to reduce water stress. This paper investigated deterioration of the quality of stored water for a period of 35 days. Samples from 20 purposively selected storage tanks in Enugu, Nigeria were collected for analysis. Heterotrophic bacteria, total coliform (TC), enterococci and Escherichia coli were present in 85%, 75%, 40% and 61% of the samples, respectively. E. coli (p &lt; 0.001) and heterotrophic plate count (HPC) (p &lt; 0.001) were significantly higher in storage tanks that were also used for rainwater collection than those that were not. HPC and TC counts in tanks that collect rainwater were twice those of tanks that do not, while E. coli and enterococci counts in tanks that also collect rainwater were three times those of tanks that do not collect rainwater. The most significant change (p &lt; 0.001) in E. coli concentration occurred after 15 days of storage. Cleaning of tanks caused significant reduction of TC counts (p = 0.013), E. coli (p &lt; 0.001), HPC (p &lt; 0.001) and enterococci (p = 0.001). Hence, prolonged storage of water causes significant deterioration of water quality.
Climate change and hydrological analysis of Tekeze river basin Ethiopia: implication for potential hydropower production
Authors: Adera Abebe G. , Alfredsen Knut T. 
Published: March 2019

AbstractClimate change is expected to intensify the hydropower production in East Africa. This research investigates the runoff and energy production in the current and future climate for the Tekeze hydropower plant located in the Tekeze river basin in the northern part of Ethiopia. The rainfall-runoff model HBV and the hydropower simulator nMAG were used to generate runoff and energy production in the current and future climate. A combination of five regional climate models and seven global climate models from the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment were used to generate bias-corrected scenarios for the future climate. The result shows an increase in future runoff which was shown to be due to an increase in precipitation. However, the current operational strategy of the power plant did not utilize the future runoff in an optimal way. Therefore, based on the projected future inflow, we have developed a new reservoir operational strategy to preserve water for power production. As a result, the energy production was increased, and the flood spill from the reservoir reduced. This shows the need to adapt the hydropower production system to the future flow regimes to get the most out of the available water.

Abstract
Legionella pneumophila, found in engineered water systems such as HVAC cooling towers, poses a significant public health risk. Culture, though routinely used to quantify L. pneumophila, has several disadvantages including long turnaround time, low sensitivity, and inter-laboratory variability. In this study, we validated the performance of an on-site quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) detection system for L. pneumophila in accordance with International Standards Organization Technical Specification 12869:2012. We evaluated specificity, limit of detection and quantification, and calibration curve linearity. Additionally, we evaluated whole system recovery and robustness using samples taken from taps and evaporative cooling towers. We then compared the system's performance against laboratory culture and laboratory qPCR across 53 cooling towers in a 12-week in-field study. We found that concordance between on-site qPCR and culture was both laboratory- and site/sample-dependent. Comparison of laboratory qPCR with on-site qPCR revealed that laboratory results were highly variable and showed little concordance. Some discordance may be explained by time delay between sample collection and testing (‘shipping effect’) which may lead to inaccurate reporting. Overall, our study highlights the value of on-site qPCR detection of L. pneumophila, demonstrates that laboratories are prone to misreporting results due to shipping effects, and reveals significant discordance between laboratory qPCR and culture.

Published: March 2019

AbstractResiduals are responsible for the polluting load increase of soft drink industry wastewater due to their high sugar contents. The present work proposes an upstream segregation of residuals to be biologically treated by the bioconversion of their carbohydrates content into baker's yeast biomass. Carbonated soft drinks (CSD) and nectars and juices (NJ) ranges were considered. Different incorporation ratios of NJ in the CSD (0–75%) have been investigated for balanced growth medium. Despite the nitrogen deficiency of media, results showed that NJ incorporation promoted the microbial growth. Media containing more than 50% of NJ exhibited ∼25% sugar-biomass conversion rates. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the media exceeded 70% at the end of fermentation. Moreover, valuable components were recovered by yeast production. Nutrient consumption rates varied from 65.4% for sugar and calcium content to in excess of 99% for protein and other minerals. In order to investigate an available and low-cost source of nitrogen for yeast production, partial substitution of the soft drink growth medium by bactofugate whey was evaluated. The soft drink-whey mixture medium fermentation resulted in 63% COD removal rate after 28 h. Meanwhile, the biomass production yield revealed an improvement of about 25% compared to the balanced soft drink medium (NJ50).

Background: Recently we have isolated and cultured dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) derived from impacted third molar (DPSC-M3). The DPSC-M3 was suggested as mesenchymal stem cell, however the cell surface markers were not completely clarified. Therefore current study was conducted to investigate the markers.Materials and Methods: Passage 5 DPSC-M3 was cultured, labeled and examined with flow cytometer. All markers were investigated according to the proposed cell surface marker panel for the minimal identification of human mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) by International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT). The positive markers were cluster of differentiation (CD)90, CD73, CD105, while the negative markers were CD34, CD45, CD11b, CD19, and Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-DR. Results: Results showed that the size and granularity of DPSC-M3 were ranged from 75 to 230 and 27 to 203, respectively. The cell surface antigens examination showed that CD90, CD105 and CD73 were highly expressed (>95%), meanwhile expressions of CD45, CD34, CD11b, CD19 and HLA-DR were <2%.Conclusion: Since the all markers expression were in accordance to the proposed cell surface marker panel for the minimal identification of human MSC by ISCT, DPSC-M3 could be suggested as an MSC.Keywords: dental pulp, stem cell, dental pulp stem cell, ISCT, flow cytometry

Background: Microtia is a congenital malformation in the external ear due to cartilage defect. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) is promising cells to develop cartilage tissue engineering for microtia. In this study, we focused on proliferation and chondrogenesis of ADSC in three different media, which consist of 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 10% FBS with L-ascorbic acid, and 10% human platelet rich plasma (PRP). Methods: ADSC were induced to differentiate into adipocytes, chondrocyte and osteocytes. ADSC morphology, proliferation and population doubling time was compared in three different media and analysed. Observation and alcian blue staining were done every 7 days to assess chondrogenic potency of ADSC from each treatment.Results: Isolated ADSC were able to differentiate into adipocytes, osteocytes and chondrocytes. ADSC in all group have fibroblast-like morphology, but cells in 10% FBS and 10% FBS with LAA group were flattened and larger. ADSC in 10% PRP group proliferates faster than 10% FBS with and without LAA. PDT values of ADSC were 34 hours, 44 hours and 48 hours, respectively for 10% PRP, 10% FBS with LAA and 10% FBS group. Alcian blue staining revealed that ADSC in 10% FBS with LAA and 10% PRP were able to proceed to chondrogenesis when cultured time were prolong up to 21 days, but not with ADSC in 10% FBS. Conclusion: We conclude that adding 10% FBS with LAA or 10% PRP into medium culture can support proliferation and chondrogenesis of ADSC. Key words: human ADSC, PRP, L-ascorbic acid, proliferation, chondrogenesis

Published: March 2019

Acidentes envolvendo serpentes peçonhentas são um problema de saúde pública no Brasil em virtude do desequilíbrio ecológico. O artigo relata acidente por B. jararaca apresentando edema e cianose, mas com TC normal. Evoluiu com taquicardia e hipotensão, recebendo 14 ampolas de soro antibotrópico. O paciente foi a óbito por choque cardiogênico decorrente da síndrome toxêmica. Apesar das manifestações locais compatíveis com envenenamento botrópico, a ausência de alteração no TC difere do padrão descrito pela literatura. Em função da baixa sensibilidade e especificidade deste teste, propõem-se que o parâmetro TC não deva ser utilizado de forma isolada para traçar conduta em acidentes botrópicos.

Authors: Singh Gurjeet , Garg Dr. Mohita 
Published: March 2019

Cloud Computing has become one of the most talked about technologies in recent times and has got lots of attention from media as well as analysts because it is offering lots of opportunities. Enterprises have been determined to reduce computing costs and for that reason most of them started using it in IT technology then adapted virtualization technology. Cloud computing has revolutionized the way computing and software services are delivered to the clients on demand. It offers users the ability to connect to computing resources and access IT managed services with a previously unknown level of ease. Thus, security concerns among users of the cloud have become a major barrier to the widespread growth of cloud computing. In this research work, we have used the 3 step security mechanism for the keeping the data secure at the cloud. We have implemented the strong authentication mechanism using md5 encrypted OTP and enhanced the security of data using Cloud Broker and RSA, Blowfish and AES. When you log on to your machine and then try to access a resource, say a file server or database, something needs to assure that your username and password are valid. With sensitive data stored in the cloud of the different users, we need a strong authentication mechanism along with OTP. Data breaches because of no/weak authentication. Afterwards we have verified the integrity of data stored at cloud provider using SHA2. Multiple parameters like processing time, processing cost, AES,RSA and blowfish encryption time, OTP generation and encryption time have been calculated and analyzed. We have been able to enhance the security by optimizing the processing time as well as processing cost. After implementing the proposed methodology, it has been summarized that the cloud security can be enhanced by applying the proposed mechanism. The proposed system has reduced the complexity, processing cost which increases the overall efficiency of the system.
Investigating the Application and Distribution of Metadiscourse Features in Research Articles in Applied Linguistics between English Native Writers and Iranian Writers: A Comparative Corpus-based Inquiry
Authors: Farahani Mehrdad Vasheghani 
Published: March 2019

Metadiscourse features are the elements that can show the presence of writer(s) in the writing process. The main objective of the present study was to run a quantitative corpus-based study on the way metadiscourse features (elements) were used by English native writers and Iranian non-native writers in the field of Applied Linguistics. To this end, 29 articles in the field of Applied Linguistics written by native speakers of English and Iranian non- native speakers of English were randomly selected; compiling together a corpus of 173839 words. Also, for the raw data and corpus analysis, the Sketch engine software was exploited by the researcher. The results of the study couldreveal the fact that in overall, writers of both corpora made use of interactive metadiscourse features more than interactional metadiscourse ones and that the texts written by native speakers enjoyed more metadiscourse markers compared to texts written by Iranian non-native speakers.
The Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space Method for Solving System of Linear Weakly Singular Volterra Integral Equations
Authors: Al-Humedi Hameeda Oda 
Published: March 2019

The exact solutions of a system of linear weakly singular Volterra integral equations (VIE) have been a difficult to find. The aim of this paper is to apply reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) method to find the approximate solutions to this type of systems. At first, we used Taylor's expansion to omit the singularity. From an expansion the given system of linear weakly singular VIE is transform into a system of linear ordinary differential equations (LODEs). The approximate solutions are represent in the form of series in the reproducing kernel space . By comparing with the exact solutions of two examples, we saw that RKHS is a powerful, easy to apply and full efficiency in scientific applications to build a solution without linearization and turbulence or discretization.
