Circulating Stem/Progenitor Cells as Prognostic Biomarkers in Macro- and Microvascular Disease: A Narrative Review of Prospective Observational Studies
Authors: Rigato Mauro , Fadini Gian Paolo 
Published: May 2018

Background:
Circulating progenitor cells (CPCs) and endothelial progenitor
cells (EPCs) are immature cells involved in vascular repair and related to many aspects of
macro and microvascular disease.
<p>
Objective: We aimed to review studies reporting the prognostic role of CPCs/EPCs measurement
on development of cardiovascular disease and microangiopathy.
<p>
Methods and Results: We reviewed the English language literature for prospective observational
studies reporting the future development of cardiovascular disease or microangiopathy
in patients having a baseline determination of CPCs/EPCs. We retrieved 34
studied reporting on cardiovascular outcomes and 2 studies reporting on microvascular
outcomes. Overall, a reduced baseline level of CPCs/EPCs was associated with a significant
increased risk of cardiovascular events, all-cause death, and onset/progression of microangiopathy.
The most predictive phenotypes were CD34+ and CD34+CD133+. The
main limitation was related to the high heterogeneity among studies in terms of patient
characteristics and cell phenotypes.
<p>
Conclusion: The present review shows that a reduced level of circulating progenitor cells
is a risk factor for the development of future cardiovascular events and death. In addition,
low CPCs/EPCs levels predict the onset or worsening of microalbuminuria and retinopathy
in diabetic patients.

Authors: Mansour-Ghanaei Fariborz , Joukar Farahnaz , Samadi Alireza , Mavaddati Sara , Daryakar Arash 
Published: May 2018

Background:
Strongyloidiasis is self-limited by the complete immune system, it may be complicated and causes hyperinfection in immunocompromised patients. Objective: Here, we report a case of an immunocompromised patient with duodenal involvement of Strongyloides stercoralis.

Case Report:
A 65-year-old man presented with severe pain in central abdomen and periumbilical regions. He had no history of alcohol consumption, smoking and surgery but the history of RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) and hypothyroidism taking immunosuppressive medications. The patient underwent endoscopy and colonoscopy which pathological analysis of the biopsies revealed remarkable findings in favor of Strongyloidiasis. After two consecutive day’s consumption of ivermectin 200µg/kg, the symptoms were completely removed. Also, the stool examination was negative for S. stercoralis larvae two weeks after end of the treatment.

Conclusions:
It seems that in immunocompromised patients with gastrointestinal symptoms assumption of parasite-like infections such as Strongyloidiasis should be considered as one of the diagnosis options. Due to the physiological and gut microbial alternations, these patients are more susceptible to infectious diseases.
Optimal Placement of Phasor Measurement Unit based on Bus Observation Reliability
Authors: Tran Van-Khoi , Zhang He-Sheng 
Published: May 2018

Background:
Meter placement, which can determine sufficient measurements for the
successful estimate implementation, plays a crucial role for state estimation of the power system. For
ensuring the robustness of state estimation against bad data in measurements, fail data from attackers
and loss of measures; the measurement redundancies are necessary.

Methods:
This paper proposes a new method based on the observation reliability criteria of the bus to solve
the optimal meter placement problem in the power network. The goal of this work is to enhance the effect of
measurement redundancies and achieve any desired rates of robustness for state estimation. Regarding the
practicability of the method, some practical aspects, such as zero injection bus, the presence of conventional
measurements, the change of network&#039;s topology, or computational time, were also considered.

Result:

The simulations on IEEE RTS 96, 14-bus, 30-bus, 57-bus and 2383-bus test systems were tested for
evaluating the effect of the proposed approach. The simulated results showed that the proposed method is
flexible, practical and feasible in solving the meter placement problem for real power networks.

Conclusion:
Based on the observation reliability of buses we can enhance the effect of redundancy
significantly and achieve any desired robust rates of state estimation.

Sir Robert Garran: Medio Tutissimus Ibis
Authors: Gageler Stephen 
Published: May 2018

AbstractSir Robert Randolph Garran (10 February 1867-11 January 1957) played a unique role in the early development of the Commonwealth. As Secretary to the Drafting Committee of the Australasian Federal Convention of 1897 and 1898, he was intimately involved in the process by which the Australian Constitution was produced. As Secretary of the Attorney-General's Department from 1901 to 1932, he was responsible for drafting foundational Commonwealth legislation and he played a key part in establishing coherent interpretations of the Constitution in advice to successive Federal Governments. Three aspects of Garran's life and work are explored in this article: the popular movement which established the process by which the Constitution was negotiated, drafted, and submitted to referenda for approval; Garran's tenure and legacy as Secretary of the Attorney-General's Department; and Garran's views on federalism and constitutional law.
‘The Research Says …’: Perceptions on the Use of Social Science Research in the Family Law System
Authors: Rathus Zoe 
Published: May 2018

AbstractThis article reports on a study which investigated the perceptions of professionals in the family law system about how social science research is used in that system in Australia. The results shed light on the daily practices of actors in the system regarding their use of social science research and demonstrate the ubiquitous presence of this research in the family law environment. The study involved a series of focus groups with lawyers and social scientists and gathered data about how the participants perceived various professions engaged with social science research. This revealed the actual world of family law practice, undiscoverable from the published cases. The data show how practitioners perceive that family law professionals, including judges, harness the research positively, but also expose a range of concerns, particularly about judges citing social science research in the courtroom. The article concludes with some steps that could be taken to clarify the way in which social science research could be used.
Liberal Assumptions in Section 116 Cases and Implications for Religious Freedom
Authors: Deagon Alex 
Published: May 2018

AbstractIt is well known that the ‘free exercise’ and ‘establishment’ clauses in Section 116 of the Australian Constitution have been interpreted narrowly by the High Court of Australia. However, there has been limited examination of theoretical assumptions or perspectives which may have consciously or unconsciously informed this interpretation. This article argues the High Court has adopted liberal assumptions about the nature of religion and its relationship to the state in the Section 116 cases. These liberal assumptions are a sharp distinction between ‘private’ religious and ‘public’ non-religious exercise, that religious freedom is subject to state determinations of what is required for neutrality between religions, and religious freedom is subject to state determinations of what is required for social order. The article proceeds to consider the implications of these assumptions for Section 116 cases in terms of a narrowing of religious freedom and a broadening of state power, and suggests awareness of these issues may produce a more nuanced approach to Section 116 in the future.

Published: May 2018

A contracepção no Brasil é considerada uma questão de natureza sociopolítica, uma vez que é discutida como política pública no campo da Saúde Reprodutiva. Nesse sentido, o Estado oferece propostas para que as pessoas tenham acesso aos métodos anticoncepcionais por meio do Planejamento Familiar (PF), como instrumento de saúde para diminuir gestações indesejadas, abortos e reduzir a mortalidade materna e infantil. Para que a escolha do método contraceptivo seja feita de maneira consciente é necessário que o profissional de saúde esteja capacitado para dirimir todas as dúvidas, quanto aos métodos que existem no mercado e os oferecidos pelo poder público. Devendo-se respeitar a escolha da mulher entre ter ou não ter filhos, garantindo-lhes seus direitos sexuais e reprodutivos. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo proporcionar aos alunos do 9º ao 12º período do Curso de Medicina, conhecimentos sobre todos os aspectos do uso do Dispositivo Intrauterino (DIU), suas vantagens, eficácia, durabilidade, bem como a relevância de sua divulgação. Para tanto, foi elaborado um questionário de 10 (dez) perguntas para avaliar os conhecimentos dos alunos antes da realização do Workshop (pré-teste) e após a realização do mesmo. Com as respostas consolidadas, foi realizada uma análise comparativa utilizando-se do teste estatístico de MacNemar. Em seguida, observou-se que a atividade realizada contribuiu com a aprendizagem dos alunos tendo sido significativo o número de acertos no pós-teste, demonstrando que o workshop do DIU foi uma importante atividade dinâmica, que associou o aprender, o fazer o conviver e o ser.

Authors: Dos Santos Luiz Fernando Ferreira , De Oliveira Alexandre Lopes 
Published: May 2018

O professor ao trabalhar com o método investigativo por experimentação na sua pratica docente se vale de uma ferramenta valiosa e ainda diferenciada. A experimentação deve proporcionar aos alunos uma alternativa para aproxima-los de conceitos importantes da física, contribuindo assim, para suas formações científica e cidadã, no sentido de serem reflexivos e darem significado aos fenômenos da natureza e da tecnologia que o cerca ao findar seu ciclo na escola básica. Para tal feito, o professor precisa auxiliar para que os alunos obtenham uma aprendizagem ligada aos seus conhecimentos prévios. Os novos conhecimentos se relacionam de forma específica com aqueles já trazidos a criar uma nova base de conhecimentos. A aplicação do experimento ocorreu numa intervenção numa turma de terceiro ano do ensino médio em que foram analisados os efeitos da estratégia experimental na aprendizagem de conceitos físicos associados à acústica. Os alunos trabalharam com o tubo de Kundt para obter as grandezas físicas associadas à esse experimento. Buscou-se melhorar nesta atividade aspectos ligados ao roteiro para o desenvolvimento da prática experimental e que ainda não tinham sido trabalhos em outras pesquisas. Os alunos aprenderam a usar o programa Sweep Gen, um software livre que é usado para gerar frequências sonoras dentro do tubo. Como resultado, percebeu-se que a atividade contribui para o entendimento dos conceitos físicos pretendido em um determinado conjunto de aulas.

Published: May 2018

Faloak (Sterculia populifolia DC.) is one of species of sterculiaceae found in East Nusa Tenggara which has potential as a medicinal plant mainly as an antimicrobial. This study aims to determine the correlation of physicochemical study of faloak bark extracts with variation of solvents in inhibiting of pathogenic bacteria. The sample was extracted by maceration method with different polarity level of solvents i.e acetone, acetone 70%, water, ethanol 96%, ethanol 70% and ethanol 50%. The results of extraction through maceration indicate the difference of yield recovery from each of the extraction solvents. The highest yield was obtained from 70% ethanol extract, while the lowest yield of acetone extract. The increase of solvent polarity in this study did not give effect to the amount of recovery of yield. It is also seen from the highest total phenolic content obtained from 70% acetone extract while the lowest in aquadest extract. The antibacterial activity of faloak bark extract on Salmonella typhi was tested using agar diffusion method with 1% of extract solution. Both of ethanol 96% and acetone extracts did not show any inhibitory activity. The largest inhibitory activity was demonstrated by 50% ethanol extract. The polarity level of the extract, the level of total phenolic content and the magnitude of rendement did not show correlation of increased inhibitory activity on Salmonella thypi as well.
Analysis of consumer behavior and energy calculation for phase end of life on stamped batik products
Authors: Djunaidi Much. , Ayuningtyas Dyah 
Published: May 2018

A product will enter the end of life phase when the usage period expires. End of life recycleis divided into three categories, namely reuse, recycle, and landfills. Reuse is transferring usage rights to others to be used for the same purpose. Recycle is utilising used goods as raw materials for other products. Landfills are putting used clothing to a garbage dump site. Consumers have different tendencies to the expired product. Stamped batik as a typical product of Solo also experiences the same treatment at the end of its life. This study has the objective of reviewing the consumer behaviour toward the stamp batik and calculating the energy needed in the final product period. Simapro 3.8.0.0 sofwate was used for the analysis. Based on consumer behaviour toward the end of product life, the stamped batik user mostly transfer the function of stamped batik to cleaning cloth or recycle (48.97%). The energy needed for the recycling process of stamped batik is 3.2 kPt. The energy resources of the landfill of stamped batik are 0,085 kPt. The electrical energy used for landfills of stamped batik is 14.4 MJ per year.
Can a School Operational Assistance Fund Program (BOS) Reduce School Drop-Outs During The Post-Rising Fuel Prices In Indonesia? Evidence From Indonesia
Authors: Kharisma Bayu 
Published: May 2018

This study aims to analyze the impact of school operational assistance fund program (BOS program) on the dropout rate during the post-rising fuel prices using Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) and difference in difference approach. The results showed that the impact of BOS on the dropout rate of students aged 7-15 years during the period investigated in this study was lower than those who did not receive BOS fund, but it was not statistically significant. In the meantime, if the account of the research is to be limited to the influenc e of students aged 16-20 years who had previously received the benefit of BOS, it shows that BOS program had a positive influence to the dropout rates. However, children aged 16-20 years who had not previously received benefits BOS negatively affect the dropout rates. Based on this fact, the benefit of the BOS following the fuel price hike in Indonesia during the research period did not seem to be particularly effective in lowering the dropout rate.
