Published: July 2019

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the use of simulation in neonatal-perinatal medicine (NPM) fellowship programs.
Study Design This was a cross-sectional survey of program directors (PDs) and simulation educators in Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accredited NPM fellowship programs.
Results Responses were received from 59 PDs and 52 simulation educators, representing 60% of accredited programs. Of responding programs, 97% used simulation, which most commonly included neonatal resuscitation (94%) and procedural skills (94%) training. The time and scope of simulation use varied significantly. The majority of fellows (51%) received ≤20 hours of simulation during training. The majority of PDs (63%) wanted fellows to receive >20 hours of simulation. Barriers to simulation included lack of faculty time, experience, funding, and curriculum.
Conclusion While the majority of fellowship programs use simulation, the time and scope of fellow exposure to simulation experiences are limited. The creation of a standardized simulation curriculum may address identified barriers to simulation.

Authors: Zafman Kelly B. , Rebarber Andrei , Melka Stephanie , Naqvi Mariam , Fox Nathan S. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Objective This study was aimed to compare maternal and neonatal outcomes between women with twin pregnancies who underwent induction of labor with those women who had planned Cesarean delivery (CD).
Study Design This is a retrospective cohort study of women with twin pregnancies ≥ 24 weeks with an indication for delivery but not in labor. Two groups were examined, women who underwent induction and women who underwent planned CD. Maternal and neonatal outcomes were compared between groups both for deliveries at gestational age ≥ 37 weeks and < 37 weeks.
Results A total of 453 patients were included. Overall, 212 (46.8%) women underwent induction and 241 (53.2%) underwent planned CD. Women who underwent induction of labor had a high rate of VD, both in the term and preterm groups (69.8 and 73.6%, respectively). Women who underwent induction of labor had reduced maternal length of stay, neonatal length of stay, and blood loss, without any increase in adverse outcomes. Neonatal ventilation of either twin delivered < 37 weeks was higher in the CD compared with induction group (27.5 vs. 9.4%, p < 0.01), but this was not significant on adjusted odds ratio analysis (aOR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.19–2.66).
Conclusion Labor induction in twin gestations have improved maternal outcomes and similar neonatal outcomes compared with planned CD.
A translation-based heterolingual pun and translanguaging
Authors: Sato Eriko 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThis paper examines six English translations of the Japanese novelBotchanwith a focus on a complex pun that pairs a multi-morphemic sentence-ending in the Matsuyama dialect with the name of a traditional Japanese food. One English translation renders it as a heterolingual SL-TL pun, which is made comprehensible for TT readers without using footnotes and without distorting the culture of the ST. The SL item in this pun is seamlessly integrated into the TT’s linguistic environment at the morpho-syntactic level and is provided with layers of scaffolding at varied linguistic levels which are naturally presented as if they are a part of textual message. This heterolingual pun is analyzed as a manifestation of translanguaging. The paper proposes a research methodology whereby translanguaging perspectives are applied to translation studies in order to explain varied heterolingual translation phenomena, including foreignization.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
We compute the electric form factors of one-neutron halo nuclei with shallow D-wave states up to next-to-leading order and the E2 transition from the S-wave to the D-wave state up to leading order in Halo effective field theory (Halo EFT). The relevant degrees of freedom are the core and the halo neutron. The EFT expansion is carried out in powers of R
core/R
halo, where R
core and R
halo denote the length scales of the core and the halo, respectively. We propose a power counting scenario for weakly-bound states in one-neutron Halo EFT and discuss its implications for higher partial waves in terms of universality. The scenario is applied to the

The experimental dose ranges influence the LETd dependency of the proton minimum RBE (RBEmin)
Authors: Rørvik Eivind , Thörnqvist Sara , Ytre-Hauge Kristian S 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Cell experiments have shown the proton relative biological effectiveness (RBE) to vary with dose and linear energy transfer (LET), which has led to development of variable RBE models. The RBE is normally estimated from two independent functions, the RBEmax and RBEmin, describing the extreme RBE at low and high doses. While there is consensus that RBEmax increases with increasing LET, the RBEmin is not uniformly defined and its dependency on LET is deviating. In this work, we analysed this dependency and its sensitivity to variations of the experimental dose range.
We performed a literature search to find data from existing monoenergetic proton cell survival experiments with (α/β)
x
values below 5 Gy and dose averaged LET (LETd) values below 20 keV µm−1. From the experiments the doses and their corresponding survival data were extracted. Based on these data, multiple restricted databases were generated by sequential exclusion of low dose data in the experiments followed by a linear-quadratic (LQ) fit. The quadratic component from the LQ-fit was used to estimate RBEmin. The LETd dependency of RBEmin was determined by fitting a linear function to the RBEmin values estimated from the restricted databases.
Our analysis showed the LETd dependency of RBEmin to be significantly influenced by the experimental dose range. By including experiments with doses below 1 Gy in the database, we found that RBEmin increased with increasing LETd. By excluding the low dose experiments in our database, the RBEmin became constant for all LETd values. For an LETd value of 5 keV µm−1, a restricted database including the data with the lowest doses gave an RBEmin of 1.4  ±  0.1, while databases with only high dose data (>2 Gy) gave an RBEmin of 1.0  ±  0.1. None of our restricted databases gave a decreasing RBEmin with increasing LETd.
Our study showed that RBEmin has a small yet significant dependency on LETd for tissues with low (α/β)
x
ratio. The LETd dependency of RBEmin varied substantially with the experimental dose range. Including experiments with high minimum dose in RBE models may lead to underestimation of the RBE.
The function of the alula on engineered wings: a detailed experimental investigation of a bioinspired leading-edge device
Authors: Ito Mihary R , Duan Chengfang , Wissa Aimy A 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Birds fly in dynamic flight conditions while maintaining aerodynamic efficiency. This agility is in part due to specialized feather systems that function as flow control devices during adverse conditions such as high-angle of attack maneuvers. In this paper, we present an engineered three-dimensional leading-edge device inspired by one of these specialized groups of feathers known as the alula. Wind tunnel results show that, similar to the biological alula, the leading-edge alula-inspired device (LEAD) increases the wing’s ability to maintain higher pressure gradients by modifying the near-wall flow. It also generates tip vortices that modify the turbulence on the upper-surface of the wing, delaying flow separation. The effect of the LEAD location and morphology on lift production and wake velocity profile are investigated using force and hot-wire anemometer measurements, respectively. Results show lift improvements up to 32% and 37% under post and deep stall conditions, respectively. Despite the observed drag penalties of up to 39%, the aerodynamic efficiency, defined as the lift-to-drag ratio, is maintained and sometimes improved with the addition of the LEAD to a wing. This is to be expected as the LEAD is a post-stall device, suitable for high angles of attack maneuvers, where maintaining lift production is more critical than drag reduction. The LEAD also accelerates the flow over the wing and reduces the wake velocity deficit, indicating attenuated flow separation. This work presents a detailed experimental investigation of an engineered three dimensional leading-edge device that combines the functionality of traditional two dimensional slats and vortex generators. Such a device can be used to not only extend the flight envelope of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), but to also study the role and function of the biological alula.

Abstract
Batteries and supercapacitors are one of the energy storage devices that had been used for a practical application most electronic devices such as mobile phone. The development of these energy storage devices is faced by the poor performance of (the) electrode. Electrode commonly used for batteries and supercapacitors is derived from nonrenewable carbon resources such as graphite. However, the availability of this material is becoming a long-term problem for the development of batteries and supercapacitors. Biomass from (the) waste plant as a green source for battery electrode is one of alternative carbon which has great potential, due to the low price, easy to process and has high stability. This paper reports the study of the biomass conversion into carbon electrode material having high electrical conductivity or low electrical resistivity using carbonization and pyrolysis process. The process involved FeCl3 as an activating agent to reduce the electrical resistivity of the material as low as possible. The research was studying the effect of biomass sources and the processing method on the electrical resistivity of the electrode produced. The biomasses used in the study were corncob, water hyacinth, rice straw, and coconut husk. The material is the waste plant which is available in abundant. The morphological analysis of the carbon surface was conducted using Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX). The lowest electrical resistivity was produced from corncob material through the carbonization process at 300°C for 2 h, activated by 4 M FeCl3 solution and followed by pyrolysis process at 800°C for 6 h. The FeCl3 is suspected responsible for the decreasing of the carbon resistivity or increasing the electrical conductivity produced, this correlates with the increase of the surface area of the material. The lowest electrical resistivity (highest electrical conductivity) produced from corncob has a value of 1 Ω with the surface area of 601 m2/g. This is considered better than graphite in term of electrical resistivity in which graphite has electrical resistivity between 10 - 30 Ω. The result of SEM images shows that the carbon surface activated by FeCl3 has more pores compared to the carbon without activation.

Abstract
Cassava tubers are one of the most starch producers in Indonesia, which is third after rice and corn. Cassava tubers starch can be used as raw material of natural polymer-based nanohydrogel synthesis. The use of natural polymers promises superior properties such as more eco-friendly, cheaper prices because their raw materials are available naturally in abundant quantities compared to synthetic polymers. To obtain similar properties to synthetic, this study modified starch using acid hydrolysis method for 2 hours and 24 hours. The ethanol precipitation method is then carried out to produce nano-particle starch. The process of nano-hydrogel formation was cunducted by gamma irradiation. The results showed that the size of starch nanoparticles was between 14.97 - 492.7 nm. Nano-hydrogel with gamma irradiation treatment has 256.81% of swelling power, 83.35% of gel fraction, and 3.81 mJ of hardness. Meanwhile, the treatment without gamma irradiation has 365.47% of swelling, but has an unstable structure, this is indicated by 61.45% of gel fraction and 2.36 mJ of hardness.

Abstract
Benzimidazole shows antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi. Nanoencapsulation of 2-citronellyl benzimidazole is a technique that packages the drug’s active ingredient, offering the advantage of its controlled release. The 2-citronellyl benzimidazole nanoencapsulation was constructed from casein micelles and chitosan-tripolyphosphate using an ionic cross-linking method. The nanocapsules were characterized using a particle size analyzer (PSA), a Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrophotometer, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while the release profile and amount of the encapsulated active compound were determined using an ultraviolet (UV)-Vis spectrophotometer. The 2-citronellyl benzimidazole encapsulated by chitosan-tripolyphosphate showed particle diameters of 10.700 nm, 81.110 nm, and 159.410 nm at 10%, 50%, and 90% magnification, respectively. The casein micelles had an average particle size of 1017 nm. The nanocapsule diameters with and without freeze drying were 3.293 nm and 1017 nm, respectively. The presence of an imine group with a wave number of 1651.72 cm−1 on the FT-IR spectra of this band indicated that the active compound was coated. The nanocapsule surface morphology was trapezoid with a rough and uneven surface. The nanocapsular efficiencies using the casein micellar and chitosan-tripolyphosphate coatings were 56.763% and 79.97%, respectively. The kinetics release of 2-citronellyl benzimidazole showed a half-life of 86.63 minutes with a 60-minute stirring time. The nanocapsule’s antibacterial activity showed the greatest inhibition zones at 2.3 mm and 10 mm for S. aureus, 4.7 mm and 8.3 mm for E. coli, and at 6.7 mm for S. thypi.
Stratified-extended cox model in survival modeling of non-proportional hazard
Authors: Ratnaningsih D J , Saefuddin A , Kurnia A , Mangku I W 
Published: July 2019

AbstractCox proportional hazard model is frequently used in survival analysis. Cox proportional hazard model is time independent covariate while many models involve time as a dependent covariate causing incomplete proportional hazard assumption, known as non-proportional hazard. The proposed model in this paper was a non-proportional hazard involving time-independent and time-dependent covariates. The approaching model was carried out by joining a stratified Cox and extended Cox model termed as Stratified-Extended Cox (SE Cox) model. The simulation of the SE Cox model resulted in small MSE for the parameter estimates. In addition, the goodness of value was more appropriate compared to the existing non-proportional hazard model. Hence, the SE Cox model was applied to evaluate student persistence in Universitas Terbuka, Indonesia.

Abstract
BPS-Statistics Indonesia is responsible for collecting valid official data in Indonesia, which mainly depends on the sampling plan they used. The village classification into urban or rural group plays a significant role in the construction of the plan. So far, the classification has been based on a scorecard developed in 2010 consisting of 12 variables. With a certain threshold, each variable has several criteria that give a score. The total sum of the scores is then used to define the class of urban and rural. This study worked explorative to evaluate whether the scorecard is still proper to be implemented. Exploratory data analysis used in this study to analyzing data structures and patterns of the data distribution. Both of them will uncover unexpected things from the data. The result shows that variables i.e. population density, the percentage of agricultural households, the existence of kindergarten, the existence of cinema, the existence of hotel/pub/beauty shop, the percentage of household with cable phone and the percentage of household with electricity require more sensitive criteria and scorecard.

Published: July 2019

AbstractSpatial models have attracted considerable interest in recent economics both on an empirical and theoretical level. One of the most widely used spatial models is the single equation model. Spatial simultaneous equation model as an extension of the widely used spatial single equation models can use more than one equation. Generalized Spatial Three-Stage Least Square (GS3SLS) estimator is one of the spatial simultaneous models. This paper presents the assessment of spatial simultaneous equations with GS3SLS method including Queen, Rock and Customized Contiguity. GS3SLS with customized contiguity (distance inverse) can share the best model of other continuity. It can be concluded that there is a relationship between the unemployment rate and economic growth in East Java. Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) and economic growth significantly affect Unemployment Rate and Human Development Index (HDI) and unemployment rates significantly affect economic growth. By using the customized contiguity, both the unemployment rate and economic growth give simultaneous spatial effect.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
The medicinal plant contains several active compounds that work synergistically and targets some proteins. In order to obtain an herbal formula that can target two or more proteins from a disease, it is necessary to analyze the effect of compound interactions contained in medicinal plants. In 2015, Li Y et al. introduced a Network Target-based Identification of Multicomponent Synergy (NIMS) method to calculate the synergistic effect between two compounds for rheumatic disease in Traditional Chinese Medicine. However, research on interactions between three or more compounds is also needed to create an effective formula that can work on multiple targets. In this study, we proposed a novel method called One-Against-One NIMS (OAO-NIMS) to predict the synergistic effect of three compounds. Our proposed method was applied to examine compound interactions related to diabetes mellitus disease, and the best combination of three compounds was obtained by Gliquidone, Glipizide, and Mitiglinide with synergy score of 0.425.

Premium rate determination of crop insurance product based on rainfall index consideration
Authors: Muna S U N , Purnaba I G P , Setiawaty B 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Crop insurance product based on rainfall index is an alternative product to minimize the risk in the agricultural sector. Rainfall index is supposed to represent crop failure in a specific area. Rainfall index is composed of parameters, trigger, and exit. The trigger is a benchmark value of rainfall that causes the partial risk and gives the right to the policyholder to begin partial benefit payment. The exit is the benchmark value of rainfall that consists of total crop failure and assigns the right to the policyholder to submit full benefit claim. The trigger and the exit in a rainfall index provide the value of the premium. A case study is carried out with cumulative rainfall data from June to August in the Dramaga area of Bogor from 1984 until 2017 to ensure paddy. The two-component Gamma Mixture distribution model is applied to determine the rate of premium that must be paid by the policyholder on the specified rainfall index.

Abstract
Human activities in Lake Toba area have contributed to the supply of pollutant on these aquatic ecosystems. Organic material and nutrient especially phosphorus component is estimated to be quite dominant of pollutant load. This study aims to recognize the level of organic load (in the form of Chemical Oxygen Demand; COD) and nutrient components (Total Phosphorus; TP) and its influence on the aquatic environment condition. This research was conducted in Lake Toba in November 2017, by observing selected locations in several inlet rivers of the lake and the lake waters area. The pollutant load from the land area, which is organic material (in the form of COD) reaches 90,712 tons/year, while the nutrient load (in the form of TP) reaches 138 tons/year. From aquaculture activities, organic loads released into the waters (in the form of feces and uneaten feed) are estimated at 14,265.4 tons/year, while the phosphorus load (in the form of TP) is 570.33 tons/year. The phosphorus load that enters the waters of Lake Toba as a whole has exceeded the permissible loading levels and changed the trophic status of the Lake Toba waters. Meanwhile, the organic pollutant load will increase the anoxic column on the hypolimnion area of the lake.
