Published: October 2018

Background:Microalgae remove nutrients from wastewater with the possibility of grow in mixotrophic and heterotrophic cultures. However, the effluent quality can modify the profile of fatty acids and biodiesel quality.Methods:Phototrophic and mixotrophic (light / dark; 12/12 h) cultures ofScenedesmus obliquuson domestic wastewater (WW) and Artificial Wastewater (AW) was carried out to evaluate the lipid accumulation and fatty acid methyl esters profile. The microalgae was first cultivated in an enriched medium (90 mg N-NH4 L-1) and subsequently under nitrogen limitation (30, 20 and 10 mg N L-1) using a two-stage process for both culture media.Results:A higher cell density in enriched AW medium was obtained in phototrophic and mixotrophic culture of 19 x 106cell mL-1and 20 x 106cell mL-1, respectively; than for WW (13 x 106cell mL-1and 14 x 106cell mL-1, respectively). The nitrogen limitation (from 90 to 20 mg N L-1) for AW increased the lipid content by 5.0% and 17.28% under phototrophic and mixotrophic conditions, respectively and only 5% for WW in mixotrophic culture.Conclusion:The high Cetane Number (CN) show a positive correlation with high Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA) content and negative correlation with the Degree of Saturation (DU), suggesting a good ignition of fuel. The Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) (-6.02 to -8.45 °C) and Oxidative Stability (OS) (3.53 - 6.6 h) propose toScenedesmus obliquusas a candidate in the production of biodiesel and potential application for an integral urban wastewater treatment system.
Discourse on Exposure to Pornography Content Online Between Arab Adolescents and Parents: Qualitative Study on its Impact on Sexual Education and Behavior
Authors: Gesser-Edelsburg Anat , Abed Elhadi Arabia Munawar 
Published: October 2018

BackgroundThe internet revolution of the 21st century has made sexual content available and accessible on a scale that has never existed before. Many studies have indicated that the use of pornography was associated with more permissive sexual attitudes and tended to be linked with stronger gender-stereotypical sexual beliefs. It also seemed to be associated with other risky behaviors and sexual promiscuity. Pornography exposure in conservative societies leads to conflicts with religious and cultural taboos.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to characterize the barriers and difficulties that prevent sexual discourse in the Arab society and enable pornography viewing according to the perceptions of adolescents and mothers.MethodsThis study involved qualitative research methods and in-depth interviews with 40 participants. This study included 20 Arab adolescents, sampled by 2 age groups (14-16 years and 16-18 years), and 20 mothers of adolescents from both sexes.ResultsThe findings indicate that mothers “turn a blind eye” to porn viewing and sexual activity by boys; however, they show a sweeping prohibition and denial of such behavior by girls. Boys reported viewing porn routinely, whereas girls denied doing so, but admitted that their female friends watched porn. The study also found that boys experienced guilt during and after viewing porn as a result of the clash between modernity and traditional values. The mothers and adolescents emphasized the need for an open sexual discourse to reduce violent behaviors such as Web-based sexual harassment, including sending videos and pictures of naked girls, often accompanied by threats and blackmail.ConclusionsIt is necessary to find a way to encourage a significant sexual discourse to prevent the violent consequences of its absence in the Arab society. A controlled, transparent, and critical sexual discourse could help youth make more informed decisions concerning the search for sexual content, porn viewing, and sexual behavior.

Authors: Ehrmann Dominic , Kulzer Bernhard , Schipfer Melanie , Lippmann-Grob Bernhard , Haak Thomas , Hermanns Norbert 
Published: October 2018

OBJECTIVE
Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is the most advanced form of insulin delivery, but it requires structured education to provide users with the necessary knowledge/skills and to support their motivation. Currently, no structured education program designed to provide this training has been evaluated. We developed a CSII-specific, structured education program (Insulin Pump Treatment [INPUT]) and evaluated its impact on glycemic control, behavior, and psychosocial status.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
This was a multicenter, randomized, parallel trial with a 6-month follow-up. Eligible participants (age 16–75 years) currently were treated with insulin pump therapy. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to the INPUT program or to usual care using a computer-generated algorithm, with study center as the stratification factor. The primary outcome was HbA1c change from baseline to 6 months. Secondary outcomes were incidence of severe hypoglycemia and changes in behavioral and psychosocial measures.

RESULTS
Between 1 April 2016 and 26 April 2016, 268 people with diabetes and a mean duration of CSII therapy of 9.5 years were randomly assigned to the INPUT group (n = 135) or control group (n = 133). At 6 months, HbA1c improved in the INPUT group (8.33 ± 0.8 vs. 8.04 ± 0.9; P &lt; 0.0001) but not in the control group (8.33 ± 1.0 vs. 8.27 ± 1.0; P = 0.11). The between-group difference in HbA1c reduction was significant, favoring INPUT (−0.28% vs. −0.06%, Δ −0.22%, 95% CI −0.38 to −0.06; P = 0.0029). The incidence rate ratio of severe hypoglycemia was 3.55 times higher for participants in the control group than for those in the INPUT group (95% CI 1.50–8.43; P = 0.0041).

CONCLUSIONS
The INPUT education program led to a significant improvement in glycemic control and incidence of severe hypoglycemia in insulin pump users.

Authors: Brown Sue , Raghinaru Dan , Emory Emma , Kovatchev Boris 
Published: October 2018

OBJECTIVE
To pilot test a new closed-loop control technology to validate it for a further large clinical trial.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
The t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ Technology (Tandem Diabetes Care) includes a Dexcom G6 sensor and a closed-loop algorithm implemented in the pump that 1) automates insulin correction boluses, 2) has a dedicated hypoglycemia safety system, and 3) gradually intensifies control overnight, aiming for blood glucose levels of approximately 100–120 mg/dL every morning.

RESULTS
Five patients with type 1 diabetes (mean age 52.8 years, 2/3 male/female, mean A1C 6.5%) used Control-IQ in an outpatient setting (hotel) for approximately 37 h. During the closed loop, mean glucose was 129 mg/dL (135/121 mg/dL during the day/night), time within target range 70–180 mg/dL was 87% (82%/94% during the day/night), and time &lt;60 mg/dL was 1.1% (2.0%/0.0% during the day/night).

CONCLUSIONS
Following this pilot trial, Control-IQ was deployed in several studies, including the large-scale National Institutes of Health International Diabetes Closed-Loop (iDCL) Trial.

Published: October 2018

OBJECTIVE
To examine the course of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and related cardiometabolic risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
CAN and cardiometabolic risk factors were assessed in the Danish arm of the Anglo-Danish-Dutch Study of Intensive Treatment in People With Screen-Detected Diabetes in Primary Care (ADDITION-Denmark) at 6-year (n = 777) and 13-year (n = 443) follow-up examinations. Cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests (CARTs)—that is, lying to standing, deep breathing, and the Valsalva maneuver—and 2-min resting heart rate variability (HRV) indices were obtained as the main measures of CAN. Risk factors related to CAN status, as determined by CARTs, were studied by using multivariate logistic regressions. The effects of risk factors on continuous CARTs and HRV indices, and their changes over time, were estimated in linear mixed models.

RESULTS
A progressive yet heterogeneous course of CAN occurred between the 6- and 13-year follow-ups. Higher HbA1c, weight, BMI, and triglycerides were associated with prevalent CAN. No significant effect of risk factors on CARTs was found when they were analyzed as continuous variables. CART indices decreased over time, and a trend of decreasing HRV indices was seen. Higher HbA1c and BMI were associated with lower HRV index values, but these differences diminished over time.

CONCLUSIONS
These data confirm that hyperglycemia, obesity, and hypertriglyceridemia are negatively related to indices of CAN, although these effects diminish over time. The observed heterogeneous course of CAN may challenge the present clinical approach of categorically classifying CARTs to diagnose CAN and the notion of CAN being irreversible.

Abstract
Based on some advantageous properties, such as fast response time, environment friendliness, small size, long lifetime, and high efficiency, white LEDs are increasingly used in common illumination applications. In this research, by co-doping of redemitting Sr2Si5N8:Eu2+ phosphor and adding SiO2 particles to yellow-emitting YAG:Ce phosphor compounds, a new approach for improving color uniformity and color rending index of remote-phosphor structure white LEDs is proposed and demonstrated. The obtained results clearly indicate that the color rendering index (CRI) and color uniformity (ΔCCT) significantly depend on Sr2Si5N8:Eu2+ concentration. The results provide a potential practical solution for manufacturing remote-phosphor white LEDs (RP-WLEDs) in the near future.

Authors: Kerber Palma Víctor 
Published: October 2018

El aprovisionamiento de armas se volvió vital para las fuerzas en conflicto durante la Revolución Mexicana. En vista de los embargos ordenados por el gobierno estadounidense, tanto los rebeldes como los federales buscaron a Japón como probable proveedor. Gustavo Madero hizo los contactos iniciales con la compañía Mitsui Bussan para la compra de armamentos; tras el derrocamiento del presidente Francisco I. Madero, el general Huerta pretendió apropiarse de las armas. En el artículo se describen las entretelas de la lucha entre Huerta y los constitucionalistas por acceder a las armas de la Mitsui. Se narran las acciones diplomáticas, las diligencias empresariales y la contribución de los servicios de inteligencia.

ALGORITMA ROCC
Authors: BUKHARI F. , SULASNO S. 
Published: October 2018

Algoritma concurrency control merupakan algoritma pengendalian akses konkurensi pada sistem sehingga objek yang diakses bersifat konsisten. Penelitian tentang concurrency control sudah dilakukan sejak 30 tahun lalu dan sudah banyak algoritma yang dihasilkan. Algoritma yang dihasilkan umumnya menggunakan asumsi bahwa Transaction Manager adalah satu-satunya modul yang digunakan pengguna untuk mengakses objek. Sekarang ini akses terhadap objek dilakukan orang tidak hanya melalui Transaction Manager, tetapi juga melalui aplikasi internet. Pola tingkah laku transaksi melalui aplikasi internet berbeda dengan aplikasi tradisional. Algoritma concurrency control yang ada seperti two phase locking kurang tepat dan berkinerja buruk pada aplikasi internet. Untuk itu dibutuhkan suatu algoritma concurrency control baru yang sesuai dengan aplikasi internet. Shi dan Perizzo memperkenal algoritma ROCC (Read-commit Order Concurrency Control). Banyak peneliti menilai algoritma ini sangat sesuai dengan aplikasi internet, tetapi algoritma ini melakukan restart yang tidak perlu. Penulis mencoba memperbaiki algoritma proses validasi sehingga restart dilakukan hanya pada akses atau transaksi yang tidak konsisten. Penelitian ini juga melakukan simulasi dalam upaya melihat perbedaan kinerja antara algoritma ROCC dan algoritma ROCC yang sudah diperbaiki.
CELLULAR AUTOMATA SIMULATION OF TRAFFIC LIGHT STRATEGIES IN OPTIMIZING THE TRAFFIC FLOW
Authors: NUGRAHANI E. H. , RAMDHANI R. 
Published: October 2018

The behavior of traffic system controlled by traffic lights is presented under assumptions of city traffic on a single lane based on the optimal velocity model. The effect of differrent traffic light control strategies on the traffic flow is discussed using three different strategies, i.e. the synchronized, green wave, and random offset strategies. The flow-density diagrams are analyzed using these strategies. The numerical investigation is carried out using cellular automata model to get a better understanding of the microscopic behavior of the system under the three different traffic light strategies.

Los objetivos de estas reflexiones son cuestionar la percepción sobre nuestra disciplina y abrir el camino hacia una participación más activa del antropólogo en materia de criminología. Se darán ejemplos de casos penales que ilustren las discrepancias conceptuales al momento de participar como peritos en litigios concretos.
Dilemas del perito experto: derechos indígenas a la tierra en Surinam y Guyana
Authors: Kirsch Stuart 
Published: October 2018

Este artículo examina dos informes periciales presentados ante la Comisión y la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos. El primero, sobre la negativa de Surinam a reconocer los derechos a la tierra de los pueblos indígenas, a pesar de sus obligaciones internacionales. El segundo, sobre títulos de tierras de población indígena en Guyana. Comparar ambos casos me permite hacer observaciones sobre la investigación etnográfica a corto plazo para peritajes antropológicos, incluyendo la necesidad de hacer que estos informes resulten comprensibles en tres marcos superpuestos: el de los abogados y el sistema legal, el de las comunidades en lucha por sus derechos, y el de la disciplina antropológica. Además, considero las elecciones narrativas adoptadas en los informes, los dilemas políticos de ser perito experto y los desafíos de la etnografía a corto plazo.
Agenda versus agencia: una traducción a política pública del movimiento de los ex braceros en México (1942-1967)
Authors: Schaffhauser Philippe 
Published: October 2018

Este artículo versa sobre la construcción de políticas públicas migratorias en perspectiva pragmatista, constructivista e interaccionista. Se centra en el estudio y el análisis de la transformación del movimiento bracero —cuyo origen es la falta de pago de un fondo de retiro campesino— en un programa de atención social a ex trabajadores migratorios mexicanos (1942-1964). Plantea que las políticas públicas que se derivan de la movilización social pueden seranalizadas en tanto interacciones hechas de reclamos, traducción de éstos y constitución de coto de poder para su expresión política y moral, por medio de figuras sociales distintas, como víctimas, portadores, traductores y propietarios de “un problema”. En este sentido, el movimiento de los ex braceros constituye un ejemplo claro.

Published: October 2018

A partir de un acercamiento etnográfico a indígenas kaingang diagnosticados como hipertensos o diabéticos, en este artículo se describen prácticas de autoatención adoptadas por este grupo indígena para lidiar con dichas enfermedades y se explora cómo éstas forman parte de un entramado de relaciones entre las tradiciones médicas coexistentes en la región. A la luz de estas prácticas, se conocerán las perspectivas nativas sobre diabetes e hipertensión arterial, que difieren de lo establecido por la biomedicina y el Sistema Único de Salud. También se hablará de la autonomía de los pacientes indígenas y su capacidad de agencia para contestar las prácticas de biopoder dispuestas por el Estado mediante la práctica biomédica.

Abstract
The WISE satellite surveyed the entire sky multiple times in four infrared (IR) wavelengths (3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 μm). This all-sky IR photometric survey makes it possible to leverage many of the large publicly available spectroscopic redshift surveys to measure galaxy properties in the IR. While characterizing the cross-matching of WISE data to a single survey is a straightforward process, doing it with six different redshift surveys takes a fair amount of space to characterize adequately, because each survey has unique caveats and characteristics that need addressing. This work describes a data set that results from matching five public redshift surveys with the AllWISE data release, along with a reanalysis of the data described in Lake et al. The combined data set has an additional flux limit of 80 μJy (19.14 AB mag) in WISE’s W1 filter, imposed in order to limit it to targets with high completeness and reliable photometry in the AllWISE data set. Consistent analysis of all of the data is only possible if the color bias discussed in Ilbert et al. is addressed (e.g., the techniques explored in Lake et al.). The sample defined herein is used in a companion paper in this series to measure the luminosity function of galaxies at 2.4 μm rest-frame wavelength, and the selection process of the sample is optimized for this purpose.
