FENOMENA TAWURAN ANTAR PELAJAR DAN INTERVENSINYA
Authors: Basri A. Said Hasan 
Published: July 2019

Tawuran antar pelajar sudah menjadi tradisi yang mengakar di kalangan pelajar. Hal ini telah menimbulkan keprihatinan dan keresahan terhadap calon-calon generasi penerus bangsa ini. Oleh sebab itu, artikel ini akan mengeksplorasi apa dan bagaimana, sekaligus menawarkan intervensi sebagai solusi alternatif dalam menangani tawuran antar pelajar. Analisis yang dalam terhadap akar permasalahan yang menjadi faktor penyebab tawuran akan menjadi titik tolak untuk merumuskan solusi yang tepat sebagai alternatif dalam penanganan tawuran. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa faktor penyebab tawuran antar pelajar secara umum dapat dikategorikan menjadi dua. Pertama, faktor internal pelajar sebagai remaja, yang tidak lepas dari aspek-aspek psikologis yang melingkupi kehidupannya sebagai remaja. Kedua, adalah faktor eksternal dari luar diri remaja yang berupa kondisi lingkungan sosial di sekitar remaja. Melalui faktor-faktor inilah kemudian alternatif solusi yang bisa ditawarkan adalah pendekatan kesehatan mental. Pendekatan kesehatan mental yang paling tepat adalah intervensi primer atau tindakan preventif dengan memodifikasi lingkungan dan memperkuat kapasitas sasaran (remaja sebagai pelajar). Kata Kunci: Tawuran antar pelajar, intervensi (penanganan)

Published: July 2019

Abstract
This paper presents a new type of north finding sensor. The passive optical sensor captures images of the sky at a high frame rate and analyzes them into a polarized map of the sky with a high degree of accuracy. The sensor operates in real time, under various weather and atmospheric conditions. The sensor output shows high heading accuracy relative to the celestial true north. Based upon the NAS-14V2 astronomical method of navigation, it is possible to define the sensor global position on earth.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
In the work a method of latency measurement in software defined radio (SDR) is proposed and validated. The test setup uses customer grade GNSS modules as reference time sources and enables relative delay calculation between signals received directly and those bypassed through SDR platform. The method is hardware agnostic in a sense, that it does not involve any custom software or hardware modifications. Tests that compare reported carrier-to-noise ratio and positioning errors were performed to prove functionality of such system. Additionally, authors measured several gnuradio blocks with respect to their impact on total latency introduced into signal path. All tests were performed on a bladeRF low-cost RF front-end. Minimum observed latency for the signal was below 10 ms.
Bullous prurigo pigmentosa
Authors: Wang Xinjun , Xu Chenchen 
Published: July 2019

AbstractPrurigo pigmentosa (PP) is an inflammatory dermatosis with unknown etiology. The clinical presentations of PP varies according to the stages of the disease. Rarely, the formation of numerous vesicles and bullae upon erythematous infiltrative plaques can be found during the entire clinical course. In the present case, a 29-year-old Chinese woman presented with a 6-year history of relapsing pruritic erythematous plaques and bulla on her neck, chest and back. Physical examination revealed multiple erythematous plaques and vesicles in combination with mottled pigmentation in a symmetrical distribution and reticular pattern on the nape of her neck, chest and back. Histological examination of the biopsy specimen collected from the bullous area of her chest indicated a lichenoid reaction with intraepidermal bulla. This inflammatory region is characterized by recruitment of lymphocytes, spongiosis, and a perivascular lymphohistiocytic infiltrate in the upper dermis. Direct immunofluorescence analysis for IgG, IgA, IgM and C3 was negative. The diagnosis of bullous prurigo pigmentosa was verified based on the clinical manifestation and pathological findings. Minocycline hydrochloride therapy (100mg/d) was initiated, and 3 weeks later the rash had completely disappeared, which resulted in pigmentation of the entire area. No recurrence was observed during the 4 years follow-up.

Published: July 2019

AbstractThe aetiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remains uncertain and thus dedicated studies are still of much importance. Patients in this group are at high risk for metabolic syndrome, diabetes and ischemic heart disease. Our goal was to use a dietary intervention, facilitating the regression of the disease, through the observation of lipid and hormonal profiles, carbohydrate metabolic parameters and metabolomics of plasma fatty acids. There were 39 Caucasian women with PCOS aged 26.76 ±5.08 that qualified for this study. Fatty acid profiles were investigated using gas chromatography. The results of plasma fatty acids were compared with the initial results and the control group. A three-month caloric reduction diet with low glycemic index (GI) reduces the level of nervonic acid and is a great alternative in PCOS therapy. The introduction of rapeseed oil and olive oil to the lowered GI reduction diet caused the increase in the ratio of average length chain fatty acids (C10:0, C14:0) and the enhancement of synthesis pathways for pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, C18:3n-6), but did not inhibit the synthesis of the derivatives of arachidic acid (C20:0). Additionally, a decrease in the level of nervonic acid (C24:1) was observed. Biochemical analysis of blood showed the improvement of plasma lipid fractions, but a significant reduction of androgen levels was not observed.A reduction diet with lowered GI lead to many positive effects in the improvement of the biochemical parameters of women with PCOS. It should be continued for a prolonged period of time, until the synthesis pathways for inflammatory factors are silenced.

Published: July 2019

AbstractObjectiveMitochondrial homeostasis is vital for the progression of lung cancer. Nurr1 has been identified as a novel mediator of mitochondrial homeostasis in several types of cancers. The aim of our study was to investigate whether Nurr1 modulates the viability of A549 lung cancer cells by inducing mitochondrial dysfunction, with a focus on the p53-Drp1 signaling pathway.Methodswestern blotting, ELISA and immunofluorescence assay was used to verify the alterations of cell death. siRNA was used to determine the role of p53-Drp1 pathway in lung cancer death.ResultsNurr1 was downregulated in A549 lung cancer cells compared to normal pulmonary epithelial cells. Interestingly, overexpression of Nurr1 reduced the viability of A549 lung cancer cells by activating apoptosis and mitochondrial stress. At the molecular level, we provide data to support the regulatory effects of Nurr1 on the p53-Drp1 signaling pathway. Blockade of the p53-Drp1 signaling pathway abolished the proapoptotic action of Nurr1 on A549 cells and sustained mitochondrial homeostasis.ConclusionTaken together, our results depict the tumor-suppressive role played by Nurr1 in A549 lung cancer in vitro and show that the anticancer effects of Nurr1 are executed via triggering of mitochondrial dysfunction and activation of the p53-Drp1 signaling pathway.

Published: July 2019

AbstractObjectiveThe incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is increasing, and there are no reliable serum biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of PTC. This study aimed to assess whether serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) could serve as an auxiliary diagnostic/prognostic marker for PTC after total and partial thyroidectomy.Material and MethodsPostoperative serum MMP-9 concentrations were measured in 182 male patients with PTC, 86 male patients with benign thyroid nodule (BTN), and 62 male healthy controls (HCs). Multivariate logistic regression and Cox regression were applied to evaluate the correlation between variables. The performance of serum MMP-9 in diagnosing PTC and predicting structural persistent/recurrent disease (SPRD) during 48 months of follow-up after initial surgery was evaluated by receiving operating characteristic curve analysis.ResultsThe median serum MMP-9 concentration in the PTC group (79.45 ng/ml) was significantly higher than those in the BTN group (47.35 ng/ml) and HC group (47.71 ng/ml). The area under the curve (AUC) for predicting PTC from BTN was 0.852 at a cut-off value of 60.59 ng/ml. Serum MMP-9 was negatively correlated with disease-free survival (OR 1.026, P=0.001). Serum MMP-9 exhibited good performance in predicting SPRD at a cutoff value of 99.25 ng/ml with an AUC of 0.818. Advanced TNM stage (OR 31.371, P=0.019) and serum MMP-9 ≥99.25 ng/ml (OR 4.103, P=0.022) were independent risk factors for SPRD.ConclusionsSerum MMP-9 potentially represents a good predictive biomarker for PTC diagnosis and prognosis after thyroidectomy in Chinese male patients for whom radio-imaging indicates suspected PTC.
Chunking or predicting – frequency information and reduction in the perception of multi-word sequences
Authors: Lorenz David , Tizón-Couto David 
Published: July 2019

AbstractFrequently used linguistic structures become entrenched in memory; this is often assumed to make their consecutive parts more predictable, as well as fuse them into a single unit (chunking). High frequency moreover leads to a propensity for phonetic reduction. We present a word recognition experiment which tests how frequency information (string frequency, transitional probability) interacts with reduction in speech perception. Detection of the elementtois tested in V-to-Vinfsequences in English (e.g.,need toVinf), wheretocan undergo reduction (“needa”). Results show that reduction impedes recognition, but this can be mitigated by the predictability of the item. Recognition generally benefits from surface frequency, while a modest chunking effect is found in delayed responses to reduced forms of high-frequency items. Transitional probability shows a facilitating effect on reduced but not on full forms. Reduced forms also pose more difficulty when the phonological context obscures the onset ofto. We conclude that listeners draw on frequency information in a predictive manner to cope with reduction. High-frequency structures are not inevitably perceived as chunks, but depend on cues in the phonetic form – reduction leads to perceptual prominence of the whole over the parts and thus promotes a holistic access.
XL burgers, shiny pizzas, and ascending drinks: Primary metaphors and conceptual interaction in fast food printed advertising
Authors: Pérez-Hernández Lorena 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThe experiential, embodied nature of primary metaphors endows them with a universal flavor of interest to the present-day global advertising needs. Based on the analysis of 500 printed advertisements corresponding to the top ten fast food brands currently in the market, this paper investigates the visual representation and functions of primary metaphors within this advertising genre. In contrast to what has been reported to be the case with resemblance metaphors used in advertising, primary metaphors do not have the product as their source or target domains. The connection between the primary metaphor and the product is established in a specific way, which reveals a close interaction with other cognitive (i.e. hyperbole and metonymy) and pragmatic (i.e. derivation of explicatures) operations. In addition, the paper explores how primary metaphors combine with one another and with other resemblance metaphors. The study of these interplays reveals new patterns of conceptual interaction (i.e. one-target and multiple-target primary metaphor clusters) and opens a window onto the varied functions performed by primary metaphors in the narrative of advertising (i.e. enhancing the conceptual layout of the product, highlighting one aspect of it, motivating, constraining and/or enriching lower-level resemblance metaphors).
Minimal Maslov number of R-spaces canonically embedded in Einstein-Kähler C-spaces
Authors: Ohnita Yoshihiro 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
An R-space is a compact homogeneous space obtained as an orbit of the isotropy representation of a Riemannian symmetric space. It is known that each R-space has the canonical embedding into a Kähler C-space as a real form, and thus a compact embedded totally geodesic Lagrangian submanifold. The minimal Maslov number of Lagrangian submanifolds in symplectic manifolds is one of invariants under Hamiltonian isotopies and very fundamental to study the Floer homology for intersections of Lagrangian submanifolds. In this paper we show a Lie theoretic formula for the minimal Maslov number of R-spaces canonically embedded in Einstein-Kähler C-spaces, and provide some examples of the calculation by the formula.
Cements with calcareous fly ash as component of low clinker eco-self compacting concrete
Authors: Gołaszewski Jacek , Cygan Grzegorz , Ponikiewski Tomasz , Gołaszewska Małgorzata 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThe main goal of the presented research was to verify the possibility of obtaining ecological self-compacting concrete of low hardening temperature, containing different types of cements with calcareous fly ash W as main component and the influence of these cements on basic properties of fresh and hardened concrete. Cements CEM II containing calcareous fly ash W make it possible to obtain self-compacting concrete (SCC) with similar initial flowability to analogous mixtures with reference cement CEM I and CEM III/B, and slightly higher, but still acceptable, flowability loss. Properties of hardened concretes with these cements are similar in comparison to CEM I and CEM III concretes. By using cement nonstandard, new generation multi-component cement CEM “X”/A (S-W), self-compacting concrete was obtained with good workability and properties in hardened state.
Development and Optimization of Attapulgite Clay Based Microencapsulation for Lactic Acid Bacteria by Response Surface Methodology
Authors: Zhao Yuping , Liu Shuai , Feng Yunqi , Bilal Muhammad 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), screened and purified from the fermented yogurt, were microencapsulated in sodium alginate (SA) and attapulgite composite microcapsules by external gelation to increase their viability and stability. Surface characterization by scanning electron microscope clearly evidenced a high number of the LAB embedded in SA/attapulgite composite microcapsules than SA counterparts due to a more cohesive structure, and biocompatible microenvironment. SA/attapulgite and CaCl2/attapulgite composites analysis revealed a better embedding effect of attapulgite blend with SA solvent compared with attapulgite mixed with CaCl2. Influence of three major factors including SA, calcium chloride, and attapulgite concentration on LAB embedding rate were optimized by “single factor strategy” as well as response surface methodology (RSM). Optimal conditions of these factors obtained by RSM were SA (1.03 %), Attapulgite (0.28 %), and CaCl2 concentration (1.17 %). The related embedding rate was predicted as 87.1369 %, and the actual measured value was 91.24 % by experiments using the optimal conditions. In conclusion, the results revealed that LAB microencapsulation in the SA and attapulgite composite might display noteworthy protection against the gastrointestinal environment.
Geno2proteo, a Tool for Batch Retrieval of DNA and Protein Sequences from Any Genomic or Protein Regions
Authors: Li Yaoyong , Aguilar-Martinez Elisa , Sharrocks Andrew D. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The interconversion of sequences that constitute the genome and the proteome is becoming increasingly important due to the generation of large amounts of DNA sequence data. Following mapping of DNA segments to the genome, one fundamentally important task is to find the amino acid sequences which are coded within a list of genomic sections. Conversely, given a series of protein segments, an important task is to find the genomic loci which code for a list of protein regions. To perform these tasks on a region by region basis is extremely laborious when a large number of regions are being studied. We have therefore implemented an R package geno2proteo which performs the two mapping tasks and subsequent sequence retrieval in a batch fashion. In order to make the tool more accessible to users, we have created a web interface of the R package which allows the users to perform the mapping tasks by going to the web page http://sharrocksresources.manchester.ac.uk/tofigaps and using the web service.
Linear Regression Supporting Vector Machine and Hybrid LOG Filter-Based Image Restoration
Authors: Basha D. Khalandar , Venkateswarlu T. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The image restoration (IR) technique is a part of image processing to improve the quality of an image that is affected by noise and blur. Thus, IR is required to attain a better quality of image. In this paper, IR is performed using linear regression-based support vector machine (LR-SVM). This LR-SVM has two steps: training and testing. The training and testing stages have a distinct windowing process for extracting blocks from the images. The LR-SVM is trained through a block-by-block training sequence. The extracted block-by-block values of images are used to enhance the classification process of IR. In training, the imperfections on the image are easily identified by setting the target vectors as the original images. Then, the noisy image is given at LR-SVM testing, based on the original image restored from the dictionary. Finally, the image block from the testing stage is enhanced using the hybrid Laplacian of Gaussian (HLOG) filter. The denoising of the HLOG filter provides enhanced results by using block-by-block values. This proposed approach is named as LR-SVM-HLOG. A dataset used in this LR-SVM-HLOG method is the Berkeley Segmentation Database. The performance of LR-SVM-HLOG was analyzed as peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index. The PSNR values of the house and pepper image (color image) are 40.82 and 36.56 dB, respectively, which are higher compared to the inter- and intra-block sparse estimation method and block matching and three-dimensional filtering for color images at 20% noise.
