Abstract. Purnamasari I, Sobir, Syukur M. 2019. Diversity and inheritance in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) on protein and yield components characters. Biodiversitas 20: 1294-1298. Diallel was a method that can be used to see inheritance and diversity character of plants. The objective of this study has evaluated the inheritance and diversity of the yield component characters and seed protein content. This study used genetic material from five homozygous cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) genotypes (KM1, KM2, KM4, KM5, and TG2) and 20 F1. Genotypes were planted using a randomized complete block design with three replications. The character observed were the yield components (weight of 100 seed, number of seeds per pod, number of pods per bunch, number of pods per plant and yield) and seeds protein content. Characters that were influenced by general combining ability (GCA) consist of weight of 100 seeds, number of pods per bunch, number of seeds per pod and seed protein content. The variance of GCA has a greater value than the variance of specific combining ability (SCA). Narrow sense and broad sense heritability values were high category consist of weight 100 seed, number seeds per pod, number pods per bunch and seed protein content. That characters were inherited additively. Characters were influenced by additive gene action and have high diversity make it possible to select in F2 generation using the pedigree selection method.

Abstract. Nelly N, Syahrawati MY, Hamid H, Habazar T, Gusnia DN. 2019. Diversity and characterization of entomopathogenic fungi from rhizosphere of maize plants as potential biological control agents. Biodiversitas 20: 1435-1441. The diversity and characters of entomopathogenic fungi in soil are influenced by cultivation techniques. This study aims at determining the characters and pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungi in maize plant. Materials were extracted from maize plant rhizosphere at different planting system (monoculture, polyculture, and monoculture of corn on formerly oil palm plantation or replanting) in Nagari Koto Baru, Luhak Nan Duo Subdistrict, West Pasaman District, and West Sumatra Province. Insect bait and series dilution were used to carry out the isolation, while Tenebrio molitor larvae were used for the pathogenicity test. Parameters observed include macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, and pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungi. The result shows that there are three types of entomopathogenic fungi with various features. After identification, it was known that Aspergillus and Metarizium were obtained from mono, polyculture and by replanting crops, while Beauveria was found from the rhizosphere of corn grown in polyculture with pathogenicity identified as one of the high causes of death to larvae T. molitor with LT50 ranging from 48.03-48.48 hours.

Abstract. Wahyudi D, Aman AT, Handayani NSN, Soetarto ES. 2019. Differences among clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in their capability of forming biofilms and their susceptibility to antibiotics. Biodiversitas 20: 1450-1456. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important nosocomial pathogen capable of causing both acute and chronic infections. The individuals of this bacterium have differences in their capability of forming biofilms. Biofilm is a collection of bacterial cells attached to the tissue, coated by polysaccharides and extracellular matrix, enabling bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics, so infection is difficult to treat. The aim of this study was to know the differences among clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in their capability of forming biofilms, and their susceptibility to some antibiotics. The bacteria were isolated from various patient samples at Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta, Indonesia, from August to December 2017. The isolates were purified using single cell colony technique. The bacterial identification and tests of susceptibility to many antibiotic were conducted using automatic equipment (vitex® 2). Test method of biofilm formation was done using the Tissue Culture Plate. The readings of results were monitored spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 570 nm and repeated 8 times. DNA isolation was done using Qiagen DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit, and gene identification (pelD and pslA) was done using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and visualization through electrophoresis. The results showed that of the 64 isolates of P. aeruginosa from blood, sputum, urine, ear middle, urine catheter, pleural fluid, pus, stool, aspirate, and cerebrospinal, 22% were low in forming biofilm, 50% moderate, and 28% high. Isolates of P. aeruginosa were resistant to ampicillin, cefazolin, tigecycline, nirofurantoin, and cotrimoxazole, but sensitive to piperacillin, ceftazidime, cefepime, aztreonam, meropenem, amikacin, gentamicin, and ciprofloxacin. The genes of pelD and pslA were present in all P. aeruginosa isolates (low, moderate, dan high). In conclusion, P. aeruginosa clinical isolates had different capability of forming biofilms and susceptibility to antibiotics. Isolates having high ability to form biofilm were relatively more resistant to many antibiotics. They were most sensitive to amikacin and resistant to ampicillin. There was no difference in the presence of mop pelD and pslA among all isolates.

Abstract. Hazeri G, Rahayu DL, Subhan B, Sembiring A, Anggoro AW, Ghozali AT, Madduppa HH. 2019. Latitudinal species diversity and density of cryptic crustacean (Brachyura and Anomura) in micro-habitat Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures across Kepulauan Seribu, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1466-1474. Kepulauan Seribu is located in the north of Jakarta and has historically been affected by anthropogenic activities. Based on its anthropogenic pressure, the archipelago is divided latitudinally into three main parts; the southern part, is a collection of islands located closest to Jakarta Bay and characterized by poor water quality, large sediment and pollutant inputs from nearby rivers, the central and north part that possesses a better water quality. Brachyura and Anomura are dominant crustacean groups in the ocean, which inhabited areas from littoral zone to the deep sea. However, its diversity and abundance are relatively understudied especially in the area where anthropogenic pressure is severe like Kepulauan Seribu. The ARMS (Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structure) is a standardized monitoring method systematically designed for observing indications of organism’s biodiversity in units of time. This research was conducted by employing ARMS as a standardize monitoring procedure to catalog and provide census of Crustaceans (Brachyuran and Anomuran) distributed across the archipelago. All crustacean inhabiting each unit of ARMS were collected and identified. Species diversity was then evaluated to see whether gradient in anthropogenic pressure has a direct impact on species composition and abundance. A total of 24 ARMS units were deployed from 2013 to 2016, located in three zones: south (9), central (9) and north (6) of Kepulauan Seribu. This study identified 17 species from 8 different families of Brachyura and 11 Anomura species from 4 different families from all sites. However, low available identification references for Indonesian crustacean made some specimen were identified only up to family level. The highest species diversity of Brachyura was recorded from family Xanthidae, followed by Portunidae and Pilumnidae, while in Anomura was in Porcellanidae, followed by Paguridae, Galatheidae, and Diogenidae. The high species diversity and density of brachyurans and anomurans were recorded in the central zone. This research infers that the species diversity of Crustaceans (Brachyura dan Anomura) seems dependent on the environmental quality, but most likely all crustacean species depend on the availability of habitat structure.

Rhodium influence on the microstructure and oxidation behaviour of aluminide coatings deposited on pure nickel and nickel based superalloy
Authors: Zagula-Yavorska Maryana 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The rhodium 0,5 μm thick layer was deposited on pure nickel and CMSX 4 Ni-based superalloy using the electroplating method. The rhodium coated substrates were aluminized by the CVD method. Oxidation resistance of nonmodified and rhodium modified coatings deposited both on nickel and CMSX 4 superalloy was compared. The triple-layer structure of rhodium modified coatings deposited on pure nickel was found. The β-(Ni,Rh)Al, rhodium doped γ'-Ni3Al and rhodium doped γ-Ni(Al) phases were the main components of the coatings on pure nickel. Two layers – additive and interdiffusion ones were identified in coatings deposited on CMSX 4 superalloy. TEM, SEM and XRD analysis revealed that β-(Ni,Rh)Al phase was the main component of the additive layer. Moreover Topologically Closed-Pack σ phases containing refractory elements in the β-(Ni,Rh)Al matrix of the interdiffusion layer were found. The rhodium modified aluminide coatings have better oxidation resistance than the nonmodified ones both on the pure nickel and CMSX 4 superalloy.
Simple Quasi-Bayes Approach for Modeling Mean Medical Costs
Authors: Yoon Grace , Jiang Wenxin , Liu Lei , Shih Ya-Chen Tina 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Several statistical issues associated with health care costs, such as heteroscedasticity and severe skewness, make it challenging to estimate or predict medical costs. When the interest is modeling the mean cost, it is desirable to make no assumption on the density function or higher order moments. Another challenge in developing cost prediction models is the presence of many covariates, making it necessary to apply variable selection methods to achieve a balance of prediction accuracy and model simplicity. We propose Spike-or-Slab priors for Bayesian variable selection based on asymptotic normal estimates of the full model parameters that are consistent as long as the assumption on the mean cost is satisfied. In addition, the scope of model searching can be reduced by ranking the Z-statistics. This method possesses four advantages simultaneously: robust (due to avoiding assumptions on the density function or higher order moments), parsimonious (feature of variable selection), informative (due to its Bayesian flavor, which can compare posterior probabilities of candidate models) and efficient (by reducing model searching scope with the use of Z-ranking). We apply this method to the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey dataset.

Zusammenfassung
Im Sommer 2018 sorgten Medienberichte von NDR, WDR, Süddeutsche Zeitung, SZ Magazin und weiteren anerkannten nationalen und internationalen Medien für einen nicht unbeträchtlichen Aufruhr, als sie berichteten, dass mehrere hunderttausende Forschende ihre Forschungsergebnisse bei scheinwissenschaftlichen Verlagen, sogenannten Raubverlagen, Open Access, jedoch nicht qualitätsgeprüft veröffentlichten. Warum publizieren Forschende in Raubjournalen? Wie groß ist das Ausmaß in der Wissenschaft tatsächlich? Welches Vorgehen kennzeichnet die scheinwissenschaftlichen Verlage? Und: wem schaden sie und was kann gegen sie unternommen werden? Mit diesen Fragen wird sich im vorliegenden Beitrag beschäftigt.

Published: June 2019

AbstractBackgroundThe brain is the centre of the nervous system in all vertebrates. The central cholinergic pathways play a prominent role in learning and memory processes. Dementia is a mental disorder characterized by the loss of intellectual ability, which invariably involves the impairment of memory. The crude extracts of theGmelina arboreaplant are reported to possess wound-healing, anti-diarrheal, anti-oxidant, anti-diabetic, and anti-ulcer property. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects ofG. arboreaon learning and memory in albino Wistar rats.MethodsA total of 36 healthy rats were selected for the study, which were divided in to six groups. Standard screening tests such as the elevated plus maze (EPM), Morris water maze (MWM), and step-down passive avoidance (SDA) tests were used for testing the learning and memory processes.ResultsGmelina arboreaat higher doses (1000 mg/kg) showed statistically significant activity in EPM, MWM, and SDA tests for assessing the learning and memory paradigms when compared to the control group in amnesia-induced and non-amnesia groups of rats.ConclusionsThis is the first ever study to report the effects ofG. arboreaon learning and memory in both amnesia-induced and non-amnesia groups of rats. Our results show thatG. arboreapotentiates the processes of learning and memory. The observed pharmacological activities should be further evaluated by detailed experimental studies and revalidated by clinical trials.
Patents, Invention and Democracy in Britain and the United States to 1852
Authors: Bottomley Sean 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
This paper surveys the American and British patent systems in the period prior to the latter’s reform in 1852 and coinciding with the period of the first industrial revolution. It has been suggested that the British system’s archaic application procedure, extortionately high fees and hostile courts were indicative of an oligarchic socio-political system that purposively sought to restrict access to patent protection, as was apparently typical across Europe. Conversely, the American system was an open and democratic one, intended to provide patent protection to as many sections of society as possible. This paper argues for a less stylized comparison. British courts were not so hostile to patents (and patentees) as has been commonly supposed. Neither was it so difficult to obtain patent protection: for all its faults, the evidence that the British patent system was designed to restrict access to its provisions is nugatory. Consequently, explanations for America’s technological catch-up and eventual supplantation of Britain and Europe as global technological leader cannot invoke ‘superior’ patent institutions as a contributory factor.
The Patent System during the French Industrial Revolution: Institutional Change and Economic Effects
Authors: Galvez-Behar Gabriel 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The influence of the patent system on the economic performance of Western countries during the Industrial Revolution is an important but difficult question to address. With the United Kingdom and the United States, France was one of the first countries to adopt a modern patent legislation in 1791. The aim of this paper is to understand the paradox of such a system, which was based on a democratic and natural-right conception of invention but turned out to be restrictive. It analyses the legal framework and its evolution from 1791 to the late 1850s and reveals its contradictory aspects: a natural right inspiration vs a restrictive access due to the cost of the patent. It shows how the 1844 Patent Act reform did not end the criticism of the French patent system. Then, in a second part, it considers the diffusion of patents in time, in different regions and industries and stresses the heterogeneity of the patent system.
Seeking International Coordination: The Norwegian Patent Law of 1885
Authors: Basberg Bjørn L. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
During the 1870s and 80s many countries revised their national patent laws. This was also a period when international co-operation was intensified to reach an agreement on patent legislation. It culminated in the Paris Patent Convention of 1880, leading to an increased harmonization of the various national patent laws. In Norway the revision of the patent law was set in motion in the 1870s, culminating in a new law in 1885. The paper analyses this process, and in particular how it related to legislative work that went on abroad.
ELF and migrant categorization at family clinics in Finland
Authors: Iikkanen Päivi 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine how nurses in family clinics use language, and clients’ perceived English proficiency in particular, when categorizing their non-Finnish-speaking clients in their talk. Through membership categorization analysis (Schegloff, Emanuel A. 2007. A tutorial on membership categorization. Journal of Pragmatics 39(3). 462–482), this study shows that perceived proficiency in English, along with migration status and reliance on the native English speaker norm, seemed to be the most decisive elements in how the nurses categorized their migrant clients. The findings demonstrate the power of categorization as an instrument in institutional decision-making and highlight the role language plays in these categorizations. In particular, the study shows how influential perceived English language proficiency and the native speaker norm are in how nurses categorize their migrant clients. The findings suggest that being able to interact with clients in English is becoming a more and more important skill in working life in Finland, also in the health care sector. It would be important to understand how influential perceived language proficiency is in the way nurses conceptualize their clients, and to what extent this relates to the standard language ideology (Milroy, James. 2001. Language ideologies and the consequences of standardization. Journal of Sociolinguistics 5. 530–555).
Development Cooperation to Ensure that none be Left Behind
Authors: Alonso José Antonio 
Published: June 2019

AbstractThe development cooperation system is undergoing a dramatic process of change. New actors are on stage, new instruments (beyond ODA) are being used, and the fields of work have been clearly widened. The enlargement of the development cooperation system is in line with the ambitious and comprehensive 2030 Agenda. However, those changes also imply massive tensions and challenges to the current development cooperation system in terms of its objectives, procedures and narrative. This paper presents some of these challenges in light of the “leaving no-one behind” mandate. The paper discusses, firstly, how the development cooperation system can be brought up to date, taking into account massive changes in the international landscape; secondly, it argues why development cooperation may be still useful and effective in supporting an Agenda that goes beyond ODA; and finally, it discusses some dilemmas around the way in which resources should be allocated in order to preserve the distributive purpose of development cooperation.
On recovering a Sturm–Liouville-type operator with the frozen argument rationally proportioned to the interval length

AbstractWe consider the operatorℓy:=-y′′(x)+q(x)y(a){\ell y\mathrel{\mathop{:}}=-y^{\prime\prime}(x)+q(x)y(a)},0<x<π{0<x<\pi},y⁢(0)=y⁢(π)=0{y(0)=y(\pi)=0}, whereq⁢(x)∈L2⁢(0,π){q(x)\in L_{2}(0,\pi)}is a complex-valued function anda/π∈[0,1]{a/\pi\in[0,1]}is a rational number. The inverse problem of recovering the potentialq⁢(x){q(x)}from the spectrum ofℓ{\ell}is studied. We describe the sets of iso-spectral potentials and prove the uniqueness theorem in the class of potentials possessing some symmetry-type property. Moreover, we obtain a constructive procedure for solving this inverse problem along with necessary and sufficient conditions of its solvability, which in turn give the characterization of the spectrum. In parallel, we establish that the informativity of the spectrum is severely unstable with respect to the parametera.
Thermodynamic Merger of Fluctuation Theorem and Principle of Least Action: Case of Rayleigh–Taylor Instability
Authors: Mahulikar Shripad P. , Sengupta Tapan K. , Sharma Nidhi , Rastogi Pallavi 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Entropy fluctuations with time occur in finite-sized time-evolving dissipative systems. There is a need to comprehend the role of these fluctuations on the fluctuations-averaged entropy generation rate, over a large enough observation time interval. In this non-equilibrium thermodynamic investigation, the Fluctuation Theorem (FT) and Principle of Least Action are re-visited to articulate their implications for dissipative systems. The Principle of Maximum Entropy Production (MaxEP: the entropy generation rate of a dissipative system is maximized by paths of least action) is conceptually identified as the Principle of Least Action for dissipative systems. A Thermodynamic Fusion Theorem that merges the FT and the MaxEP is introduced for addressing the role of fluctuations in entropy production. It identifies “entropy fluctuations” as the “least-action path” for maximizing the time-averaged entropy production in a dissipative system. The validity of this introduced theorem is demonstrated for the case of entropy fluctuations in Rayleigh–Taylor flow instability.
