Exposure Dose of Bacteria and Fungi in a Public Primary School in Beni Suef, Upper Egypt
Authors: Mostafa Dr. Mona 
Published: August 2019

Potential health risk due to the exposure of bacteria and fungi is mainly related to the concentration of respirable airborne bacteria and fungi in indoor environments. Schools buildings represent an important category of indoor environments. This study aimed to evaluate the concentration and size distribution of bacteria and fungi in classrooms of a public primary school in Beni Suef, Egypt. In addition, the indoor exposure dose (IED) of bacteria and fungi were estimated for children and teachers. A six-stage Andersen impactor was used for collecting the bacterial and fungal particles. Indoor average concentration of bacteria was 1120±458 CFU/m3 while the corresponding fungal concentration was 291±89 CFU/m3. Bacterial level is almost twice the World Health Organization guideline value of 500 CFU/m3 while the fungal level is underestimated. Respirable fraction (<5 µm), that can reach to the lower airways of the lung, of bacteria was 79% while the corresponding respirable fraction of fungi was 90% of the total concentration. The size distribution of bacteria was bimodal in nature and the fungal size distribution was unimodal with lower dispersion than bacteria. IED of bacteria was 211 CFU/kg and 70 CFU/kg for children and teachers, respectively. While the fungal IED was 55 CFU/kg and 18.2 CFU/kg for children and teachers, respectively.

Structural transitions in mixed classes of proteins
Authors: Poboinev V. V. , Khrustalev V. V. , Khrustaleva T. A. , Stojarov A. N. 
Published: August 2019

It was studied the features of amino acid content of protein regions of “alpha + beta” and “alpha/beta” classes, that are prone to structural transitions. The data have been obtained by the way of the comparison of different threedimensional structures of proteins with absolutely identical amino acid sequence. In this study we ignored fragments of proteins in which positions of atoms cannot be determined with the help of X-ray crystallography. Proteins of “alpha + beta” class are less stable than proteins of “alpha/beta” class, since the percent of structurally instable residues in them is higher. Most frequent type of structural transitions is the decrease of length of N-terminal and C-terminal parts of alpha helices and beta strands. Alpha helices and beta strands that can completely disappear (turn to coil) have also been found. The data of their amino acid content is important for the development of the method able to detect fragments of proteins prone to transitions from alpha helix to beta strand. Those fragments should combine characteristic features of amino acid content of both completely disappearing alpha helices and completely disappearing beta strands. The amino acid composition of alpha-helices capable to complete disappearance is significantly different from that for beta-strands capable to complete disappearance: frequencies of alanine, glutamine and glutamic acid usage are increased, frequencies of isoleucine, threonine and glycine usage are reduced.
New Online Communities and New Identity Making: The Curious Case of the Kurdish Diaspora
Authors: Mahmod Jowan 
Published: August 2019

The central argument in this paper is that the intimately set of processes—diaspora, transnationalism, and communication technologies—are creating new maps of identities, which are diverging from traditional forms of identity-making within the physical and national territory. By delving into how this triangulated relationship brings out a series of new identity experiences, the aim here is to demonstrate how this can serve as a timely example in a wider context of how traditional spheres of identity (i.e. ethnicity, culture, gender, and religion), which have hitherto provided people with firm identities, are being contested in this age of digital technologies and new transnational and global collaborations. Based on an interdisciplinary and comparative research study, including multi-sited (online-offline) methodology, the empirical examples unveil how diasporic Kurds have through their online activities developed transnational and global consciousness that goes beyond the national or dual diasporic consciousness. They display a growing awareness of identity difference not only between diaspora and homeland Kurds, but also between Kurdish diasporas in various European countries. While the struggle for nation-state building and identity rights are still a central part of their agenda, the new opportunities for self-representation in the online world suggest novel articulations of identity which are challenging old notions of belonging and community. Therefore, rather than speaking of the inflationary “imagined diaspora,” this paper presents the fluidity of diasporic identities and how victim diaspora can morph into transnational and global diaspora. The acknowledgement of identity difference and the de-mythologization of the homeland complicates the concept of the imagined community which until now has not been sufficiently recognized in academic writing.
Intellectual Kurdistanbul – Approaching Istanbul As A Diasporic Experience
Authors: Örs Duygu 
Published: August 2019

Istanbul is the biggest Kurdish city. This fact, which might look controversial on the first sight, is the outcome of different waves of Kurdish migration to one of the biggest cities in Turkey – a country been direct perpetrator of these migrations. Kurdish migration to Istanbul is very diverse and has created many different experiences of the city. The article will focus on an intellectual Kurdish Istanbul, created and experienced by self-identified Kurdish Istanbulites, who engage with their identity in an intellectual and Kurdophile way.

OD or open defecation is one of activity that influenced many aspects, it can pollute the source of drinking water, contaminate the crops , and the one that causes many diseases that are related to GI (Gastrointestinal) tract infectious diseases. Even though in Subdistrict of Tarik many household already had latrines, but not make the society become open defecation free, as in Kandangan hamlet which the percentage of OD is 35% at 2014 . The main purpose of this study is to evidently expose several internal factors that influence OD behavior in Kandangan Hamlet,village of Banjarwungu, subdistrict of Tarik,Sidoarjo regency. This analytic study used cross sectional approach, with chi square to test the hypothesis. The population consisted of 1003 people that come from Kandangan Hamlet, ,with sample size 91 people determined through simple random sampling method, focused between 15-65 years old. Variable of this research consists of age, gender, level of education, and economic status, those variable considered as the Independent variables and OD behavior as the dependent variable. The result of this study shows that age, level of education, and economic statu respectively influenced OD behavior in Kandangan Hamlet, (p<0,05). While gender and habit were not influence the behavior of OD(p>0,05). Suggestion for this problem can be made through improvingt of promotion program regarding OD issues emphasizing the importance of latrines, recruiting health cadres that can giving understanding about the importance of latriney, helding latrine community gathering and giving credit system for building latrines as hope for improving level of ODF in the society.

Authors: Suhartono Eko 
Published: August 2019

Mekanisme kadmium menginduksi toksisitas pada hepar yaitu dengan menimbulkan stres oksidatif. Stres oksidatif menghambat enzim-enzim yang berperan dalam proses metabolisme glukosa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perbedaan kadar glukosa pada homogenat hepar. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental laboratorik yang dilakukan pada 4 kelompok: kelompok P0 yang tidak dipajankan Cd, kelompok P1 dipajankan Cd 0,03 mg/L, kelompok P2 dipajankan Cd 0,3 mg/L, dan kelompok P3 dipajankan Cd 3 mg/L. Hasil penelitian didapatkan rata-rata kadar glukosa pada kelompok P0 sebesar 21.667 μM, kelompok P1 sebesar 33.278 μM, kelompok P2 sebesar 69.889 μM, dankelompok P3 sebesar 150.667 μM. Melalui uji statistik Kruskal-Wallis didapatkan perbedaan yang bermakna p=0,000 (p<0,05) dan uji pos hoc Mann-Whitney juga menunjukkan perbedaan yang bermakna pada semua kelompok. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa semakin tinggi konsentrasi pemajanan Cd terhadap homogenat hepar maka semakin tinggi pula peningkatan kadar glukosa pada hepar tikus.

Published: August 2019

Introducción. La apendicectomía por puerto único, asistida por laparoscopia, ofrece una alternativa terapéutica en el abordaje de la apendicitis aguda. En el presente estudio, se evalúa el beneficio terapéutico de la técnica por único puerto asistida por laparoscopia y se compara esta técnica con la apendicectomía abierta. Materiales y métodos. Se trata de un estudio observacional analítico retrospectivo de cohorte, llevado a cabo en el Hospital Universitario Clínica San Rafael, de Bogotá. Se incluyeron 106 pacientes mayores de 15 años con apendicitis aguda, que fueron sometidos a apendicectomía por puerto único, asistida por laparoscopia o apendicectomía abierta. La relación entre el grupo con apendicectomía por laparoscopia y el de técnica abierta, fue de 1:1. Se incluyeron variables sociodemográficas, clínicas y quirúrgicas (tiempo quirúrgico, frecuencia de infección del sitio operatorio, estancia hospitalaria, dolor, reingresos y resultado estético). Resultados. La edad promedio fue de 32 años y la mayoría de los pacientes eran de sexo masculino. El tiempo operatorio fue menor en los casos de apendicectomía por puerto único, asistida por laparoscopia, con un promedio de 34,1 minutos. Según la escala análoga, el dolor posoperatorio fue de 2,2 con la técnica laparoscópica y de 3,2 con la apendicectomía abierta (p<0,05). Hubo ocho veces más reingresos entre los casos de apendicectomía abierta en comparación con la apendicectomía por un puerto, y el resultado estético fue satisfactorio en todos con esta última técnica. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en la estancia hospitalaria o la infección del sitio operatorio. La razón de momios (odds ratio, OR) fue inferior a 1 en variables como dolor, reingreso y menor tiempo quirúrgico, lo cual indica una menor probabilidad, en los que se usó un solo puerto. Discusión. La técnica por un solo puerto es segura, reproducible, equiparable en términos de días de estancia hospitalaria e infección de sitio operatorio, e incluso, produce mejores resultados en el tiempo quirúrgico, las escalas de dolor y el número de reingresos.
AKULTURASI DALAM TRADISI LISAN MACA SYEKH DI KABUPATEN PANDEGLANG
Authors: Setiawan Irvan 
Published: August 2019

Tradisi lisan Maca Syekh di Kabupaten Pandeglang Provinsi Banten merupakan salah satu bentuk pengajaran yang memiliki tujuan untuk mendengar dan memahami riwayat hidup sosok Syekh Abdul Qadir Jaelani sebagai salah satu tokoh penyebar agama Islam. Hal menarik untuk diteliti dari tradisi lisan Maca Syekh adalah adanya sebuah proses akulturasi dengan melibatkan unsur budaya, agama, dan unsur politik untuk kemudian menghasilkan sebuah produk akulturasi yang dapat bertahan hingga kini. Penelitian deskriptif dengan mengacu pada data kualitatif merupakan pilihan tepat mengingat sumber data yang dicari adalah informasi essay yang banyak membutuhkan analisa kualitatif. Dari hasil analisa diketahui bahwa akulturasi dari tradisi lisan Maca Syekh di Kabupaten Pandeglang Provinsi Banten terbagi menjadi dua yaitu akulturasi tradisi dan akulturasi kebahasaan. Unsur politik dideskripsikan secara singkat karena hanya melibatkan penggunaan huruf Arab dalam penulisan Maca Syekh yang pada masa Penjajahan menjadi sebuah hal yang dianggap mewakili kalangan modernis. Maca Syekh oral tradition in Pandeglang Regency, Banten Province, is one form of teaching that aims to hear and understand the life history of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jaelani. An interesting thing to examine from Maca Shaykh's oral tradition is the existence of an acculturation process involving elements of culture, religion, and political elements to then produce an acculturation product that can survive until now. Descriptive research with reference to qualitative data is the right choice considering the source of the data sought is essay information which requires a lot of qualitative analysis. From the results of the analysis, it is known that the acculturation of the Maca Shaykh oral tradition in Pandeglang Regency, Banten Province, is divided into two: traditional acculturation and linguistic acculturation. The political element is described briefly because it only involves the use of Arabic letters in the Maca Syekh writing which in the colonial period became something considered to represent modernists.

Authors: De Cloedt L. , Harrington K. , Du Pont-Thibodeau G. , Ducharme-Crevier L. 
Published: August 2019

Objectif : Le delirium est commun chez les patients de soins intensifs pédiatriques (SIP), mais sous-reconnu par les cliniciens en l’absence d’une échelle de dépistage de delirium pédiatrique. L’objectif de cette étude était donc de traduire et de valider l’échelle d’évaluation du delirium pédiatrique de Cornell en version française.
Patients et méthodes : Pour la traduction, la méthode reconnue de rétrotraduction a été utilisée. L’échelle Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium a été traduite de l’anglais vers le français par une traductrice et un médecin francophones. Les deux versions ont été mises en commun et harmonisées, puis cette version a été rétrotraduite en anglais par un médecin anglophone. Cette traduction a ensuite été comparée à la version source par les auteurs originaux qui ont pprouvé la traduction. La version française finale de l’échelle a été validée sur 25 patients admis dans notre unité médicochirurgicale de SIP de 32 lits. Chaque patient a été évalué de manière indépendante par deux infirmières. La reproductibilité interobservateur a été mesurée par un coefficient de Kappa.
Résultats : Cinquante mesures ont été obtenues au cours des 25 évaluations. La concordance interobservateur était presque parfaite, avec un coefficient de Kappa de 0,92. Le temps médian nécessaire pour compléter l’échelle était de 51 secondes.
Conclusion : La version française de l’échelle d’évaluation du delirium pédiatrique de Cornell est valide et reproductible dans un milieu de SIP.

Background: Subjective memory complaints (SMCs) may be the first sign of cognitive decline in aging. Objective: To examine whether SMCs reported by oneself and informant predict cognitive change over 2 years among at-risk elderly people, and to determine the relationship of different types of SMCs (prospective and retrospective memory complaints) and change in cognitive function. Methods: This investigation is part of the FINGER project, which is a multicenter randomized controlled trial aiming at preventing cognitive decline in cognitively healthy older adults with increased risk of dementia. A subsample of 303 control-group participants (aged 60–80 years) and their informants ( n = 261) rated the frequency of SMCs, using the Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire (PRMQ). Cognitive performance was measured at baseline and at 1- and 2-year follow-up visits using a neuropsychological test battery. Results: Participants who reported more SMCs improved less in global cognition, executive function, and memory during the subsequent 2 years in the fully-adjusted analyses. Self-reported retrospective memory problems predicted less improvement in all cognitive domains, whereas prospective memory problems did not. Informant-reported memory problems were not linked to subsequent change in cognition. Conclusion: Our results indicate that self-reported SMCs, measured with PRMQ, predict future cognitive change in several cognitive domains. By contrast, reports by informants were not linked to changes in cognition. Among cognitively healthy at-risk elderly individuals, the persons themselves observe more easily problems relevant for their future cognitive trajectories than their informants.
