The Rise of Streaming Music and Implications for Music Production
Authors: Hiller R. Scott , Walter Jason M. 
Published: September 2018

AbstractIn this paper, we model the potential for streaming music, a non-durable product, to upend and displace durable music sales. As the popularity of streaming music increases producers will adjust their production to focus on the non-durable channel. We identify conditions under which the changes in music delivery will encourage musicians to release fewer songs, but at a higher quality, leading to market deepening and increased engagement. This change will complete the unbundling process in music production making the traditional bundled album of little importance. This tendency toward unbundling for individual musicians depends on a robust bundle from a delivery platform to provide value for consumer subscriptions. Beyond a model of consumer utility and producer profit, we analyze the most played songs of the large streaming music platform, Spotify, and compare those results to traditional album sales using Nielsen data.
Closed-form estimators for finite-order ARCH models as simple and competitive alternatives to QMLE
Authors: Prono Todd 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Strong consistency and (weak) distributional convergence to highly non-Gaussian limits are established for closed-form, two stage least squares (TSLS) estimators of linear and threshold ARCH (p) models, with special attention paid to the ARCH (1) and threshold ARCH (1) cases. Conditions supporting these results include (relatively) mild moment existence criteria that enjoy empirical support. These conditions are not shared by competing estimators like OLS. Identification of the TSLS estimators depends on asymmetry, either in the model’s rescaled errors or in the conditional variance function. Monte Carlo studies reveal TSLS estimation can sizably outperform quasi maximum likelihood (QML) in small samples and even best recently proposed two-step estimators specifically designed to enhance the efficiency of QML.

Published: September 2018

Abstract
In order to reduce the cost of Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC), a feasibility study of ECC using a Cost-Effective Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) fiber (CEPVA-ECC) was developed based on the micromechanical design theory. A set of ECCs with different amounts of fly ash replacement (up to 83 % replacement of cement) was prepared. The CEPVA-ECC using much cheaper Chinese domestic PVA fiber (1/6–1/4 the price of the imported fiber) maintained the tensile ductility characteristics (4–5 %) with a moderate compressive strength (30–40 MPa). The crack width was reduced with an increase of the fly ash amount. The strain map CEPVA-ECC was monitored by the Digital Image Correlation method.

Published: September 2018

The existence of formal schools under Pesantren (traditional Islamic education) foundation is interesting, because they have unique characters comparing to other schools in general, whereas each Pesantren has its own peculiarity. One of them is Senior High School of Selamat Modern Pesantren, Kendal. This article describes the implementation of Curriculum 2013 in that school based on qualitative research in 2017. The research result indicated that the implementation of Curriculum 2013 established an integrated curriculum from national Curriculum 2013, learning materials from Ministry of Religious aﬀair and unique vision of the modern Selamat Pesantren itself. So there was a combination between the Curriculum 2013, the materials form Ministry of Religious aﬀair which is more Islamic in nature and the programs from boarding system that enrich the student character building and knowledge. Moreover, in this research teachers are central regarding to their position as student’s facilitator and companion, particularly those who actively accompany the dormitory activities.
Abstrak
Keberadaan sekolah-sekolah formal di bawah naungan yayasan pesantren menarik untuk dikaji, karena pasti memiliki kekhasan tersendiri dibanding sekolahsekolah lain pada umumnya. Terlebih tiap pesantren memiliki kekhasan masingmasing. Salah satu modelnya adalah di Sekolah Menengah Atas Pondok Modern Selamat, Kendal. Artikel ini menggambarkan implementasi Kurikulum 2013 di sekolah tersebut didasarkan pada penelitian berpendekatan kualitatif yang telah dilaksanakan pada 2017. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa implementasi Kurikulum 2013 di SMA Unggulan Pondok Modern Selamat, Kendal, menunjukkan karakteristik unik berupa kurikulum yang terpadu antara kurikulum nasional, muatan materi dari Kementerian Agama (Kemenag), dan visi khas dari yayasan pondok pesantren Selamat. Dengan demikian terdapat kombinasi antara orientasi Kurikulum 2013 yang bersifat umum, materi dari Kemenag yang berorientasi memberi bekal ilmu-ilmu keislaman, dan ditunjang oleh program di asrama yang memperkaya pembentukan karakter siswa dan pengayaan penguasaan pengetahuan siswa. Lebih lanjut, guru perannya sangat sentral dalam implementasi kurikulum yang terpadu di sekolah ini karena diposisikan sebagai pendamping siswa, terutama guru-guru yang juga aktif mendampingi kegiatan asrama.

Primary Cardiac Sarcoma Remission after Surgery: 5-Years Follow-up: Case Report
Authors: Teker Melike Elif , Teskin Önder 
Published: September 2018

Background: Primary cardiac sarcoma is a rare and atypical clinical entity. We present a patient with long-term remission after primary cardiac sarcoma resection.
Case Report: A 42-year-old previously healthy female presented to the emergency department after an effort-induced 30-minute episode of chest pain and extreme shortness of breath. Physical examination upon admission was remarkable for a pulse of 99/minute; blood pressure was 101/73 mmHg. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a mass measuring 5.5 × 5.6 cm extending from the left septum to the mitral valve anterior leaflet. A multilobulated broad-based 5.5 × 5.6 × 4 cm3 mass invading a large portion of the left septum to the mitral valve anterior leaflet was completely excised in the open heart surgery. Chemotherapy regimen (paclitaxel 175 mg/m2/day on day 1, every 21 days) was started after operation. Full remission was provided. Metastasis and recurrence have not been observed for 5 years of follow-up by PET. We observed during 5 years and used a PET. And the finally we did not see metastasis at the 5 years of follow-up.
Conclusions: We strongly recommend that a patient-specific multidisciplinary approach involving radical resection, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy in these cases results in patient survival and a significant improvement in quality of life. We also think that it is necessary to perform MRI to exclude other illnesses that are considered to be a myxoma.
Ras-Dependent Cell Fate Decisions Are Reinforced by the RAP-1 Small GTPase in Caenorhabditis elegans
Authors: Rasmussen Neal R , Dickinson Daniel J , Reiner David J 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Investigation into the signaling relationship between closely related small GTPases Ras and Rap1 has a complicated past. Rasmussen, Dickinson, and Reiner use Caenorhabditis elegans to investigate the role of RAP-1 in LET-60/ Ras-dependent developmental events...
The notoriety of the small GTPase Ras as the most mutated oncoprotein has led to a well-characterized signaling network largely conserved across metazoans. Yet the role of its close relative Rap1 (Ras Proximal), which shares 100% identity between their core effector binding sequences, remains unclear. A long-standing controversy in the field is whether Rap1 also functions to activate the canonical Ras effector, the S/T kinase Raf. We used the developmentally simpler Caenorhabditis elegans, which lacks the extensive paralog redundancy of vertebrates, to examine the role of RAP-1 in two distinct LET-60/Ras-dependent cell fate patterning events: induction of 1° vulval precursor cell (VPC) fate and of the excretory duct cell. Fluorescence-tagged endogenous RAP-1 is localized to plasma membranes and is expressed ubiquitously, with even expression levels across the VPCs. RAP-1 and its activating GEF PXF-1 function cell autonomously and are necessary for maximal induction of 1° VPCs. Critically, mutationally activated endogenous RAP-1 is sufficient both to induce ectopic 1°s and duplicate excretory duct cells. Like endogenous RAP-1, before induction GFP expression from the pxf-1 promoter is uniform across VPCs. However, unlike endogenous RAP-1, after induction GFP expression is increased in presumptive 1°s and decreased in presumptive 2°s. We conclude that RAP-1 is a positive regulator that promotes Ras-dependent inductive fate decisions. We hypothesize that PXF-1 activation of RAP-1 serves as a minor parallel input into the major LET-60/Ras signal through LIN-45/Raf.

Published: September 2018

Abstract

Background
Little has been published about the association of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and sarcoma. In this study, we sought to identify clinical features of patients with sarcoma presenting at least one VTE episode.

Methods
Our study was a retrospective case–control study of a single-institution database with univariate and multivariate analysis using chi-square and Student's t test. A p value less than .05 was considered significant.

Results
The overall incidence of VTE in patients with sarcoma was 7.9%. Predictive factors identified by multivariate analysis were metastatic disease and administration of chemotherapy. It was not statistically possible to correlate the risk of VTE with specific sarcoma subtypes, but observations suggested malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, osteosarcoma, and liposarcoma as having the highest propension.

Conclusion
VTE is not infrequent in patients with sarcoma. Adoption of common guidelines for cancer-associated thrombosis is recommended.

Background: The study was aimed to evaluate the effects of combined spinal epidural analgesia on the duration and outcome of labour in nulliparous parturients in comparison with parturients not receiving any analgesia.Methods: It is a prospective clinical study. The present study was carried out in the labour ward, KIMS Hubli. Nulliparous parturients in early active labour were divided into two groups. CSE group (n=40) and non CSE group. In present study CSE was performed with intrathecal 1.25mg of levobupivacaine with 25mcg fentanyl initially and this was followed by epidural boluses of 10ml of 0.0625% Levobupivacaine with 2mcg/ml fentanyl through the epidural catheter whenever the patients’ pain score is more than 4.Results: Mean duration of active labour was 139+/-41.2min in CSE group and 251.1+/-57.9 min in non CSE group. The rate of cervical dilatation was 2.63+/-0.66cm/hr. in CSE group as compared to 1.45+/-0.38cm/hr in non CSE group. The duration of second stage of labour was similar in both groups. The spontaneous vaginal deliveries was77.5% in CSE group as compared to 79.5% in non CSE group. Assisted vaginal deliveries were 15% in combined spinal epidural analgesia group compared to 10.3% in non CSE group which was statistically insignificant. LSCS was 7.5% in control CSE group compared to 10.3% in non CSE group. Maternal satisfaction was excellent in majority of parturients in CSE group. The perinatal outcome was not affected in CSE group. The incidence of complications were very minimal in present study.Conclusions: Authors concluded that combined spinal epidural analgesia provides safe and excellent analgesia with no significant increase in the caesarean section and instrumental delivery rates. In addition, CSE decreases the duration of first stage of labour with no effect on perinatal outcome.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an uncommon condition encountered in pregnancy. The incidence of ARDS in pregnancy has been reported to be 1 in 6229 deliveries with mortality rates to range from 24% to 39% in pregnant patients. An essential component in management of ARDS involves good communication between the obstetrics team and critical care specialist and a fundamental understanding of mechanical ventilatory support. In critically ill patients where both cardiorespiratory support is required, Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) can be used to help maintain the vital functions. ECMO is a temporary cardio respiratory or respiratory support in critically ill patients who are unresponsive to conventional management. In present case a young female with post-partum ARDS was successfully managed with extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Pemahaman Hadis Misoginis dalam Kitab Uqudul Lujayn di Pondok Pesantren An-Nur Semarang
Authors: Khozin Akhmad 
Published: September 2018

This research is based on the problems in society related to the rights and roles of women who are neglected, because the indications of Hadith misogynically interpreted by classical commentators, on the one hand upholds the dignity of women, but on the other hand castrates women's rights by limiting the women's role in marriage life and closing their steps to contribute in the environment. The purposes of this study are; (1) to know the extent to which the students' understanding of the Hadiths studied in uqudul lujayn book; (2) to dig into the understanding built in the study of the lqliya texts related to the misogynical Hadith; (3) to imply the understanding to everyday life. The method used in this study is a qualitative method by presenting data through verbal and then changed into description form, not numbers. The results showed that; (1) the santri who studied lqya lujayn book initially did not understand the existence of the misogynous Hadith and only understood the book and the teacher's information, after in-depth study, the students sought to re-understand by combining; (2) in the classical and hermeneutic method of interpretation can be understood that there is no misogynist Hadith, but Hadits misogynically interpreted; (3) the understanding is implied on the activities of santriwati an-Nur in everyday life.
Native versus invasive crab effluent effects on byssal thread production in the mussel, Mytilus trossulus (Gould, 1950)
Authors: Rickaby Rachel , Sinclair Jeanine 
Published: September 2018

Mussels have evolved many adaptations to protect themselves, including the production of byssal threads. These are strong, proteinaceous fibres that mussels secrete to adhere themselves to rocks, preventing detachment by waves and predators. These byssal threads may be strengthened if mussels can recognize potential threats, such as native crabs, as their populations have a long history of coevolution. Unfortunately, the introduction of invasive predators poses a challenge for prey, which may not be capable of recognizing them. In this study, byssal thread production in the Pacific blue mussel (Mytilus trossulus ) was observed when exposed to effluent from the native red rock crab (Cancer productus) or the invasive European Green crab (Carcinus maenas). M. trossulus were placed in closed systems with effluent from either C. productus , C. maenas or control (no predator), over a 24-hour time period. Final measurements of number, length and diameter of byssal threads were recorded. M. trossulus exposed to effluent from C. productus produced byssal threads at a statistically significantly faster rate than in the control group over the first 7.5 hours. M. trossulus exposed to effluent from C. maenas produced byssal threads at a statistically significantly faster rate than both the C. productus and control groups. However, after 24 hours, there was no statistically significant difference between the mean number of byssal threads for any treatment. Additionally, we found no statistically significant difference between the mean diameter of byssal threads produced or length of byssal threads produced for any treatment.
