The Indonesian Constitutional Court’ decision Number 46/PUU-VIII/2010 about the legal status of “out-of-wedlock born child” based on argumentum a fortiori or al-mafhūm al-muwāfaqah. According to this principle “if a child whose genealogy is not yet clear could still be ascribed to one who claims him/her through istilhaq”, then why not determine a child’s genealogy whose biological father is known”. The problems, however, arises when a child was born out-of-legal wedlock. Can his/her nasab be ascribed to his/her father? This study examines the Prophetic tradition on this matter using takhrij hadith methods. It shows that ḥadīth “al-walad li al-firāshi wa li al-‘āhir al-ḥajr wahtajibī yā Sawdah” is valid (ṣaḥīḥ). This ḥadīth explains that a child can be ascribed genealogically to one who claim him/her as his child. However, such claim cannot result in maḥram relationship with child’s sister. It seems that the Prophet acknowledges the existence of biological father but his nasab cannot be deduced to his child.

Effect of Thiamine Nutritional Deficiency on the Energy Metabolism and Neurotransmission in Mice Brain
Authors: Chauhan Anisha , Srivastva Nidhi , Bubber Parvesh 
Published: February 2018

<p>Thiamine or vitamin B1 has an antioxidant property. It plays a vital role in energy metabolism as it is directly or indirectly involved in the metabolism of lipids, glucose, amino acids and neurotransmitters. Present study emphasizes the role of thiamine deficiency (TD) on the mitochondrial enzymes involved in energy metabolism and neurotransmission. The study was carried out on <em>Mus musculus</em> in three groups, namely control and thiamine-deficient group for 8 (TD 8, group II) and 10 (TD 10, group III) days. Activity of TCA cycle enzymes such as succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and fumarase were measured along with the activity of enzyme acetylcholine esterase (Ach E) involved in the release of neurotransmitter. These biochemical changes were further correlated with histopathological changes in TD. A significant decrease in the enzymatic activity of SDH was found in group II (p&lt;.05) and group III (p&lt;.001) in comparison to the control group. Similarly a significant reduction in the enzymatic activity of MDH (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.0001) in the TCA cycle was also found in group III (TD 10). Fumarase levels were also found to be low in both the treated groups in comparison to the control. Ach E activity was also found to be decreased in group II (p&lt;.05) and group III (p&lt;.001) in comparison to the control group. Histopathological analysis via transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed neurodegenerative features in the brain of thiamine deficient mice. Diminished activity of mitochondrial enzymes and AchE suggests impairment in energy metabolism and disturbances in the release of neurotransmitter during TD. Pathological changes were also in conformity with the fact that TD impedes metabolism and it’s prolong impairments would further diminish brain functions. Our results suggest nutritional corrections with thiamine might lead to the improvement from neurological disorders or neurodegenerative conditions. </p>
Percussion Performance Drilling Motor Delivered Extreme Cost Saving In Hard and Abrasive Formation in Ahnet Basin, Algeria.

Published: February 2018

Abstract
The percussion performance drilling motor was proposed in combination with polycrystalline diamond cutter (PDC) drill bits to overcome the drilling challenges of the 12 ¼ in. vertical section in Ahnet field (South-West of Algeria), consisting of harsh lithology types habitually drilled using several bits run.
Introducing the percussion drilling motor is the next step for performance optimization in harsh drilling environments. Utilizing the advanced generation of performance elastomers in combination with new energy distribution system enhances the drill bit's rock failing mechanism by combining the torque and rotation speed with a high frequency axial oscillation. This lifts the entire BHA with each pulse while maintaining the drill bit always fully embedded into the formation, resulting in an increased penetration rate. This paper presents a case study that evidences the benefit of using such a tool to reduce the drilling cost.
The 12 ¼ in. section in the subject field is usually drilled using 6-10 drill bits with the associated excessive non-productive time (NPT) and increased drilling costs for the operator. Extreme dull characteristics are also exhibited by all drill bits after every run. The introduction of the percussion drilling motor in this section represents a step change in performance and drilling efficiency to reduce drilling time. In combination with optimized PDC drill bits, the percussion drilling motor completed the interval with just 2 bits compared to offsets using 10, 8, and 6 bits, respectively. In conclusion, this approach crucially contributed to save 7.72 drilling days to the client compared to the initial plan. Moreover, an increase of 119% was recorded in term of ROP compared to the best offset well and a very good hole quality with only 0.7% excess recorded on the caliper log.
The innovation of the percussion performance drilling motor is a completely new telescopic bearing mandrel design to keep the drill bit always in contact with the formation while gently oscillating the upper BHA reducing friction, improving weight transfer, and improving bit cutting structure efficiency enhancing its rock-failing properties.

Published: February 2018

Background:
Chagas' disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, was described for the first time over a
hundred years ago. Nonetheless, clinically available drugs still lack effective and selective properties. Nitric oxide
(NO) produced by activated macrophages controls the progression of disease by killing the parasite.

Methods:
and Results: Here, chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs) were synthesized and mercaptosuccinic acid
(MSA), the NO donor precursor, was encapsulated into CS NPs, forming MSA-CS NPs, which had hydrodynamic
size of 101.0±2.535 nm. Encapsulated MSA was nitrosated forming NO donor S-nitrosomercaptosuccinic
acid-containing nanoparticles (S-nitroso-MSA-CS NPs). Kinetic data revealed a sustained
release of NO from the nanoparticles. S-nitroso-MSA-CS NPs inhibited epimastigote proliferation and trypomastigote
viability of T. cruzi, with IC50=75.0±6.5 µg·mL-1 and EC50=25.0±5.0 µg·mL-1, respectively. Treatment
of peritoneal macrophages with nanoparticles decreased the number of T. cruzi-infected cells and the average
number of intracellular replicative amastigotes per infected cells. Besides, the results have showed a selective
behaviour of S-nitroso-MSA-CS NPs to parasites. Morphological and biochemical changes induced by
these NO-releasing nanoparticles, such as cell shrinkage, cell cycle arrest, mitochondrial membrane depolarization
and phosphatidylserine exposure on cell surface indicate that epimastigotes death is associated to the apoptotic
pathway.

Conclusion:
S-nitroso-MSA-CS NPs are promising nanocarriers for the treatment of Chagas's disease.
Role of Nut Consumption in the Management of Cognitive Decline - A Mini-Review
Authors: Klimova Blanka , Kuca Kamil , Valis Martin , Hort Jakub 
Published: February 2018

Background:
Currently, there is a significant increase in the number of older generation
groups, which may result in serious economic and social issues. Therefore, there is a need to prolong the
active life of these older individuals, especially by focusing on modifying lifestyle factors such as healthy
nutrition. In fact, recent research has shown that, for example, nuts are an important part of people’s
healthy diet because they have appeared to be neuroprotective compounds which might maintain or in
some cases even improve people’s cognitive functions.

Objective:
The purpose of this review study is to explore the role of the nut nutrition in the maintenance
and delay of cognitive decline among older individuals.

Results:
The findings indicate that the nut consumption may contribute to the delay of cognitive decline
in aging. However, this nut diet is just one component of the multi-nutrient dietary intervention for health
aging.

Conclusion:
More longitudinal controlled randomized studies have to be performed in this field to prove
the efficacy of the nut nutrition for the delay of cognitive decline.

Authors: An Ji-Yong , Zhou Yong , Zhang Lei , Niu Qiang , Wang Da-Fu 
Published: February 2018

Background:
Self Interacting Proteins (SIPs) play an essential role in various aspects of the
structural and functional organization of the cell.

Objective:
In the study, we presented a novelty sequence-based computational approach for predicting
Self-interacting proteins using Weighed-Extreme Learning Machine (WELM) model combined with an
Autocorrelation (AC) descriptor protein feature representation.

Method:
The major advantage of the proposed method mainly lies in adopting an effective feature
extraction method to represent candidate self-interacting proteins by using the evolutionary information
embedded in PSI-BLAST-constructed Position Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM); and then employing a
reliable and effective WELM classifier to perform classify.
</P><P>
Result: In order to evaluate the performance, the proposed approach is applied to yeast and human SIP
datasets. The experimental results show that our method obtained 93.43% and 98.15% prediction
accuracies on yeast and human dataset, respectively. Extensive experiments are carried out to compare
our approach with the SVM classifier and existing sequence-based method on yeast and human dataset.
Experimental results show that the performance of our method is better than several other state-of-theart
methods.

Conclusion:
It is demonstrated that the proposed method is suitable for SIPs detection and can execute
incredibly well for identifying Sips. In order to facilitate extensive studies for future proteomics
research, we developed a freely available web server called WELM-AC-SIPs in Hypertext Preprocessor
(PHP) for predicting SIPs. The web server including source code and the datasets are available at
