Abstract
1-Methyl-3-(N-(1,8-naphthalimidyl)ethyl)imidazolium can be a discriminator for anionic polysaccharides via monomer-excimer switching and photo-induced colorimetric reaction. In the system, the excimer fluorescence increases remarkably in the presence of sulfated polysaccharides. The degree of enhancement depends on the number of sulfate groups in its structure. In contrast, the degree of excimer enhancement is not significant in the presence of carboxylated polysaccharides probably due to a different photo-induced decay pathway. The solutions containing carboxylated polysaccharides certainly become yellow via a photo-induced colorimetric reaction.

In this paper is examined the potential and effectiveness of two conventional geophysical methods in geotechnical research. The seismic refraction method that has been successfully used in the past for subsurface bedrock delineation in foundation projects, failed to indicate clear distinction between flysch and limestone bedrock material in the area under investigation. This failure is due to the macro-anisotropy structure of the limestone that resulted from joints, tectonic processes or/and karstic phenomena and later fillings of the voids with argillaceous material. The geoelectrical method of vertical sounding, on the other hand, although provided a clear distinction for the bedrock characterization, failed to distinguish the overburden cover from the underlain flysch formation. Finally, in this paper it is shown that for a successful application of geophysical work in geotechnical research, it is required effective design, utilization of modern analysis methods and handling more than geophysical methods.

Giant gouramy is a native fish to Indonesia and widely distributed in Sumatra, Kalimantan and Java. The aim of this study was to characterize the phenotype and kinship of Giant Gouramy from crosses between strains Jambi, South Kalimantan, and West Java (Tasikmalaya). This Research was conducted at the Giant gouramy Hatchery of Research Institute for Fish Breeding, Sukamandi, West Java. Analysis of morphological diversity of all crosses between varieties performed through morphometric measurements that have been determined based on a point benchmark of 16 haracteristics of the truss. Measurement data of each character crosses which have beenrelativized by standard length were analyzed using discriminant analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis. The result showed that Giant gouramy has low diversity coefficient values, ranging from 4 to13%. The highest coefficient of variance (CV) was found in the character of C3 (the tip of the anal fin-base of the tail fin), which ranges from 18-33% and the lowest in the character B5 (the base of the pelvic fin-tip of the dorsal fin) in the range of 2-4%. Based on discriminant analysis, males Giant Gouramy have more character differences than females. The closest kinship relationship is in hybrid of Tasikmalaya and Jambi (TJ) strain with of South Kalimantan and Tasikmalaya ( KT) which has a similarity level at 89.41%. However, the farthest kinship is in pure line of Tasikmalaya (TT) and Jambi (JJ) with the three other strains namely South Kalimantan and Jambi (KJ), Tasikmalaya and Jambi (TJ) and South Kalimantan and Tasikmalaya (KT) with a value of similarity of 53.93%.

African catfish, namely lele dumbo, is an economically important fresh water fish in Nusa Tenggara Barat. There are three strains of African catfish that are well distributed among farmers. Genetic information of three strain catfish stocks is needed in order to sustain their development program. Genetic variations of the three strains of catfish, i.e. Sangkuriang, Masamo, Paiton has been evaluated using RAPD markers. DNA genome was extracted using phenol-chloroform methods. DNA was amplified using 20 primers (OPA 1 – 20). The results showed that three of the 20 primers have good amplification products. There was no significant genetic differences among three strains of catfish analyzed (P>0.05). Genetic variation of three African catfish stocks ranges from low to middle value. The highest genetic variation is found in strain Masamo with heterozygosity of 0.273 (with 70% polymorphism loci), followed by Sangkuriang 0.189 (60%) and Paiton 0.147 (40%). Hybrid candidates of Masamo-Sangkuriang have eterozygosity ranges between 0.256 - 0.306 (with 66.6 7 – 73.77% polymorphism loci). Strain Masamo and Paiton has more close genetic relationship than among the both and Sangkuriang.

Currently, there is a national concern regarding to the decrease of milkfish production from ponds in North Java due to a low quality of milkfish seed produced by small scale hatcheries in Bali, which is the main producer of milkfish seed. The quality of seed is strongly related to the quality of eggs (fertility), while quality of eggs produced depends on the management of brood stocks carried out by the hatcheries. Growth rate and growth hormone profiles are some of the biological aspects that could be used as a basis/benchmark to evaluate quality level of milkfish seed reared in ponds. The aim of this experiment was to evaluate growth rate and growth hormone profile performance between selected G-2 seed and small scale hatcheries seed as control population the growth rate. Research on grow-out of milkfish seed was conducted at the IMRAD ponds facility in Pejarakan, using milkfish seed produced by small scale hatcheries as well as selected second-generation (G-2) seed, each with the density of 5000 seed/pond (1 pond=0.5 ha). The seeds were fed with dry pellet and reared for 5 – 6 months. The results showed that the seed produced with standard operational procedure (SOP) by small scale hatcheries were having longer (F hit. = 13.68 > F tabel 1%) and heavier body washt (F hit. = 18.98 > F tabel 1%) better than selected G-2 seed and small scale hatcheries seed without SOP with high growth hormone concentration (F hit. = 4.95 > F tabel 5%).
The effect of temperature on cadmium oxide (CdO) nanoparticles produced by synchrotron radiation in the human cancer cells, tissues and tumors
Authors: Heidari Alireza 
Published: July 2018

In this work, the effect of temperature of the ablation environment on the properties of Cadmium Oxide (CdO) nanoparticles produced by synchrotron radiation is investigated. To produce nanoparticles, synchrotron radiation pulse with 1064 (nm) wavelength is used to emit Cadmium in the human cancer cells, tissues and tumors. All test parameters were kept constant and human cancer cells, tissues and tumors temperature was changed to produce samples at 20Â°C and 65Â°C. Then, ATRâ€“FTIR, XRD, TEM and UVâ€“Visible spectroscopy analyses were performed to investigate their properties. The results show that the size of nanoparticles is increased by increase in temperature of ablation environment. In addition, in the current experimental research, Gold (Au)â€“Cadmium Oxide (CdO) alloy is created at the size of nano. In this regard, same volume of Gold and Cadmium Oxide (CdO) solutions were mixed together and emitted by the synchrotron radiation pulse with wavelength of 532 (nm). The Gold and Cadmium Oxide (CdO) solutions have been produced, separately, using synchrotron radiation ablation process. To produce them, synchrotron radiation pulse with wavelength of 1064 (nm) and pulse width of 7 (ns) and repeating frequency of 5 (Hz) was used. The results show that synchrotron radiation emission with wavelength of 532 (nm) is an appropriate method for producing Gold compounds in the size of nano.Â Â
Estimating the Use of Higher-Order Theory of Mind Using Computational Agents
Authors: de Weerd Harmen , Diepgrond Denny , Verbrugge Rineke 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
When people make decisions in a social context, they often make use of theory of mind, by reasoning about unobservable mental content of others. For example, the behavior of a pedestrian who wants to cross the street depends on whether or not he believes that the driver of an oncoming car has seen him or not. People can also reason about the theory of mind abilities of others, leading to recursive thinking of the sort ‘I think that you think that I think…’. Previous research suggests that this ability may be especially effective in simple competitive settings. In this paper, we use a combination of computational agents and Bayesian model selection to determine to what extent people make use of higher-order theory of mind reasoning in a particular competitive game known as matching pennies. We find that while many children and adults appear to make use of theory of mind, participants are also often classified as using a simpler reactive strategy based only on the actions of the directly preceding round. This may indicate that human reasoners do not primarily use their theory of mind abilities to compete with others.
A Truncation Model for Estimating Species Richness
Authors: François Koladjo Babagnidé , Ohannessian Mesrob I. , Gassiat Elisabeth 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
We propose a truncation model for the abundance distribution in species richness estimation. This model is inherently semiparametric and incorporates an unknown truncation threshold between rare and abundant observations. Using the conditional likelihood, we derive a class of estimators for the parameters in this model by stepwise maximization. The species richness estimator is given by the integer maximizing the binomial likelihood, given all other parameters in the model. Under regularity conditions, we show that our estimators of the model parameters are asymptotically efficient. We recover Chaos lower bound estimator of species richness when the parametric part of the model is single-component Poisson. Thus our class of estimators strictly generalized the latter. We illustrate the performance of the proposed method in a simulation study, and compare it favorably to other widely-used estimators. We also give an application to estimating the number of distinct vocabulary words in French playwright Molière’s Tartuffe.
Contemporary Traditionalists and Reformists Iranian Jurists and the Subject of Human Rights
Authors: Goudarzi Masoumeh Rad , Najafinejad Alireza 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
The inability of traditional Shi’a jurisprudents to respond to the challenges in the field of human rights and the rights of religious minorities, which is rooted in the denial of human dignity and the emphasis on religious dignity, has led to the emergence of a new discourse among contemporary Shi’a jurisprudents in Iran in recent years. This group of jurists known as reformist jurists seeks to re-evaluate the jurisprudential laws, re-interpret the Shari’a and find a way out of the religion to reduce the existing conflict with the universal human rights standards. The opinions of this group of jurists, albeit criticized by the traditional scholars, have been welcomed by young clerics. To understand the main aspects of this jurisprudential dispute, two main questions have been considered by the researchers: What are the main principles of human rights in the thoughts of traditionalist and reformist jurists in Iran? And how differently have the reformist jurists conceptualized the subject of human rights? To answer these questions, the impact of traditional jurisprudents on the formulation of the current constitution of Iran is studied and the main differences between the views of traditional and modern jurists are evaluated.
Iconically modeling a demolition process in the photobook Palast Der Republik
Authors: Alves Vitral Letícia , Queiroz João 
Published: July 2018

AbstractPalast der Republik, by the photographer Christoph Rokitta, is an independent photobook published in 2013 in Berlin. In the photobook different semiotic resources are coupled in order to iconically model the demolition of the homonymous building in Berlin. In opposition to the trivial notion of icon as sign that stands for its object in a relation of similarity, we analyze the photobook as an icon whose main feature is the possibility of discovering information about its object through its manipulation. This specific feature is calledoperational criterion for iconicity, and it stresses the inherent quality of icons of revealing information available through their manipulation and observation. Our aim is to describe and analyze the relations between semiotic resources in this photobook by exploring the operational criterion of iconicity, and models as epistemic artifacts. We are interested in how couplings between semiotic resources in the photobook can iconically model a spatio-temporal process.

Abstract
Aneurysms of the temporal superficial artery (TSA) are very rare clinical entity. From 1861 to the present day, is described less than 200 cases. The most common cause of these aneurysms is so called blunt head trauma but there are described many cases of iatrogenic aneurysms, very rarely, aneurysms arise spontaneously. We report a case of 17-yearold patient with spontaneously formatting aneurysm of TSA. Three months prior to admission, he noticed the existence of tumefaction localized frontotemporal on the right side. MSCT angiography of blood vessels of the scalp showed an aneurysm on the frontal branch of TSA diameter of 15 mm. The aneurysm was resected with uneventful postoperative course. PH findings pointed to a true aneurysm. Treatment protocol for the aneurysms of the TSA include clinical monitoring, compression of the aneurysm, the injection of thrombin, endovascular treatment and surgical resection. Surgical resection has proven to be a safe and effective treatment modality and still is the method of choice.

Abstract
Carotid atherosclerosis may be associated with neurosymptoms including cerebral infarction. IL-10 exerts atheroprotective effects, but its role in carotid disease is not fully defined. We aimed to investigate serum IL-10 levels in patients undergoing endarterectomy and their relation to the degree of carotid stenosis, plaque types and neurosymptoms.
Two hundred consecutive patients with atherosclerotic carotid stenosis and 29 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Plaque types were classified according to AHA criteria. Serum IL-10 levels were determined by ELISA.
Patients undergoing endarterectomy had significantly higher circulating IL-10 levels (18.7 ± 3.2 pg/ml) in comparison with healthy controls (7.2 ± 1.8pg/ml; P =0.0001) and IL- 10 has good discriminatory efficacy between these two groups (ROC curve, AUC = 0.723, P=0.0001). Patients with < 70% and those with > 70% of carotid stenosis did not differ in terms of age, sex, cardiovascular risk factors except hypertension, neurosymptoms and AHA plaque types. Circulating IL-10 levels differed significantly among patients with different carotid plaque types (P = 0.002). Patients with uncomplicated plaques had significantly higher serum levels of IL-10 (23.0 ± 6.1 pg/ml) compared to those with complicated plaques (13.0 ±1.4 pg/ml, P=0.035) and IL-10 can differentiate patients between these two groups (ROC curve, AUC = 0.413, P= 0.035).
Our findings reveal an important role for IL-10 in carotid atherosclerosis. IL-10 might be a potential biomarker in discriminating patients with carotid disease from healthy controls. Decreased serum levels of IL-10 are related to complicated carotid plaques.

Published: July 2018

Abstract
Epilepsy is a typical neurological issue which influence the focal sensory system and can make individuals have seizure. It can be surveyed by electroencephalogram (EEG). A wavelet based HURST EXPONENT strategy is displayed for the analysis of epilepsy. This strategy deals with the nonlinear analysis of EEG signals. Discrete wavelet transform is used to disintegrate the original EEG signal into specific subbands. The hurst exponent of different sub-bands is employed and then fed into two classifiers, namely SVM and KNN. The highest classification accuracy obtained in the presented work is 99% for healthy subject data versus epileptic data is obtained by SVM. However, the corresponding accuracy between normal subject data and epileptic data using SVM is obtained as 99% and 93% for the eyes open and eyes shut conditions, respectively. The detailed analysis of the methodology and results has been discussed in the paper.

Published: July 2018

Objectives
The aims of this paper were to evaluate the levels of Vitamin D (VitD) in patients with heart failure (HF), compared to a control group, to assess the effects of VitD on HF outcome and to compare VitD measurement between LIAISON immunoassay and HPLC-MS-MS methods in this population.

Design and Methods
We collected clinical, biochemical and outcome data from 247 patients with HF and in a subgroup of 151 patients, we measured VitD both with LIAISON and HPLC-MS-MS.

Results
HF patients had statistically lower 25OHD levels (45.2 ± 23.7 nmol/L vs 58.2 ± 24.0 nmol/L, P < 0.001) and a statistically higher prevalence of VitD insufficiency (61.1% vs 39.5%, P < 0.001) and deficiency (24.7% vs 6.6%, P < 0.001), compared to healthy controls. There was a significant inverse relationship between baseline 25OHD and risk of HF-related death, with a HR of 0.59 (95% CI 0.37–0.92, P = 0.02), confirmed in a multivariate adjusted analysis. Kaplan–Meier survival analyses showed that VitD insufficiency was associated with reduced survival in HF patients (log rank P = 0.017). There was a good agreement between LIAISON and HPLC-MS-MS (Cohen’s kappa coefficient 0.70), but the prevalence of VitD insufficiency was significantly higher with the former compared to the latter method (58.3%, n = 88 vs 55.6%, n = 84, P < 0.001). LIAISON underestimated the 25OHD levels and showed a mean relative bias of −0.739% with 95% of limits of agreement (−9.00 to +7.52%), when compared to HPLC-MS-MS.

Conclusions
25OHD levels adequately measured by HPLC-MS-MS showed to be low in HF population and to be correlated with HF-related risk of death.

Published: July 2018

Introduction and Aim
The purpose of replacement therapy in adrenal insufficiency (AI) is mimicking endogenous cortisol levels as closely as possible: dual release hydrocortisone (DR-HC) has been introduced to replicate the circadian cortisol rhythm. Multiple daily saliva collections could be used to assess the cortisol rhythm during real life: our aim was to study the salivary cortisol profile in AI.

Materials and Methods
We prospectively evaluated, in an observational study, 18 adult outpatients with AI (11 primary and 7 secondary AI), switched from conventional treatment (conv-HC, 25 mg/day) to the same dose of DR-HC. We collected six samples of saliva in a day, measuring cortisol (F) and cortisone (E) with LC-MS/MS. Forty-three matched healthy subjects served as controls.

Results
F levels were similar in the morning (and higher than controls) in patients treated with conv-HC or DR-HC; otherwise F levels and exposure were lower in the afternoon and evening in patients with DR-HC, achieving a cortisol profile closer to healthy controls. Daily cortisol exposure, measured with area under the curve, was lower with DR-HC. Morning F and E presented sensitivity and specificity >90% to diagnose AI (respectively threshold of 3 and 9.45 nmol/L). Total cholesterol and HbA1c levels reduced with DR-HC.

Conclusions
Salivary cortisol daily curve could be used as a new tool to assess the cortisol profiles in patients treated with conv-HC and DR-HC. A lower daily cortisol exposure was achieved with DR-HC (despite the same HC dose), especially in the afternoon-evening.
