Here we report the complete mitochondrial sequences of 70 individual field collected mosquito specimens from throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. We generated this dataset to identify species specific markers for the followingAnophelesspecies and chromosomal forms:An. arabiensis,An. coluzzii(TheForestandMoptichromosomal forms) andAn. gambiae(TheBamakoandSavannahchromosomal forms). The raw Illumina sequencing reads were mapped to the NC_002084 reference mitogenome sequence. A total of 783 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected on the mitochondrial genome, of which 460 are singletons (58.7%). None of these SNPs are suitable as molecular markers to distinguish amongAn. arabiensis,An. coluzziiandAn. gambiaeor any of the chromosomal forms. The lack of species or chromosomal form specific markers is also reflected in the constructed phylogenetic tree, which shows no clear division among the operational taxonomic units considered here.

The focus of this study was to determine the relationship between asthma-related emergency department (ED) visits and fires in the state of California. Publicly available data of ED visits due to asthma, as well as occurrence of forest fires in California from 2005 to 2015 were obtained, where the California counties were grouped by region: North, Coastal, Motherload, Central, and South. There were no statistical differences with regards to acres of forest burned, but statistically significant differences were found (although small) with regards to ED visits due to asthma attacks by region (Motherload higher than South region). When evaluating the relationship of ED visits due to asthma and acres of forest burned, forest fires barely explained the variability of emergency department visits (r2 = f 0.05, p<0.01). With aims to establish a connection between natural disasters and respiratory distress, we faced obstacles in data limitations and confounding variables. This paper serves as a pilot study supporting the need for further exploration of environmental, health, and socio-demographic variables that interplay when evaluating relationships of natural disasters and incidence of chronic diseases, such as asthma.

Published: March 2019

Background: The prevalence of HIV is 0.1% in Pakistan, with epidemicity in high-risk groups. The infection is on verge of transmission from key populations to the general population through people who inject drugs and sexual transmission. Prisoners are vulnerable to infectious diseases like HIV. This study was conducted in four prisons in Balochistan, Pakistan to determine the prevalence of HIV and associated risk factors. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted from March to June 2018, in the prisons of Balochistan. WHO-approved rapid diagnostic kits were used for determining the prevalence of HIV and structured interviews were conducted for the assessment of risk factors. Results: Out of 2084 screened prisoners, 33 (1.6%) were found to be positive. A subset of 104 interviews was analyzed for risk factors of HIV. Among HIV-infected prisoners 68.8% (OR 4.48; 95% CI 1.41-14.2) had extramarital sex, 43.8% (OR 2.09 95% CI 0.69-6.28) had a homosexual experience, and 50% had a history of needle sharing (OR 43; 95% CI 7.77-237). About 94% (OR 16.42; 95% CI 2.09-129.81) of prisoners had a history of drug addiction of any type while 50% (OR 13; 95% CI 2.82-60.01) of HIV-infected had a history of using injectable drugs. Around 75% of HIV-infected prisoners had spent 1-5 years in prison, and 25% had spent more than 10 years. Conclusion: The high prevalence of HIV in prisons of Balochistan demands that preventive and treatment strategies should be designed and implemented carefully, allowing early diagnosis and treatment initiation to minimize the spread of infection among the prisons and ultimately their onward transmission into the community.

Published: March 2019

Background: Identification of cell type subpopulations from complex cell mixtures using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data includes automated computational steps like data normalization, dimensionality reduction and cell clustering. However, assigning cell type labels to cell clusters is still conducted manually by most researchers, resulting in limited documentation, low reproducibility and uncontrolled vocabularies. Two bottlenecks to automating this task are the scarcity of reference cell type gene expression signatures and the fact that some dedicated methods are available only as web servers with limited cell type gene expression signatures. Methods: In this study, we benchmarked four methods (CIBERSORT, GSEA, GSVA, and ORA) for the task of assigning cell type labels to cell clusters from scRNA-seq data. We used scRNA-seq datasets from liver, peripheral blood mononuclear cells and retinal neurons for which reference cell type gene expression signatures were available. Results: Our results show that, in general, all four methods show a high performance in the task as evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis (average area under the curve (AUC) = 0.94, sd = 0.036), whereas precision-recall curve analyses show a wide variation depending on the method and dataset (average AUC = 0.53, sd = 0.24). Conclusions: CIBERSORT and GSVA were the top two performers. Additionally, GSVA was the fastest of the four methods and was more robust in cell type gene expression signature subsampling simulations. We provide an extensible framework to evaluate other methods and datasets at https://github.com/jdime/scRNAseq_cell_cluster_labeling.

A existência da camada compactada nas proximidades da superfície do solo pode afetar o desenvolvimento radicular da maioria das culturas. Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar a dependência espacial da resistência mecânica do solo à penetração das raízes e do teor de água no solo, na fazenda Mimosa, localizada no município de Pesqueira-PE. Na área explorada, cultiva-se banana, irrigada com sistema por gotejamento. Investigou-se a camada de solo de 0,00-0,15m com 50 pontos de amostragem, em malha de 10 x 5m. As mensurações iniciaram-se quatro horas após o término da irrigação registrada fora do bulbo úmido. A resistência mecânica do solo à penetração foi determinada com auxílio do penetrômetro de impacto reduzido. Já o teor de água no solo foi medido por meio da técnica de reflectrometria de domínio do tempo – TDR. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de estatística descritiva e geoestatística para avaliação da dependência espacial das propriedades do solo. Além disso, verificou-se que os semivariogramas foram ajustados aos modelos esférico e gaussiano para a resistência mecânica do solo à penetração e teor de água no solo, respectivamente. Os mapas de krigagem mostram redução da resistência mecânica do solo à penetração, em função do aumento do teor de água no solo. A área apresentou alta resistência à penetração, apresentando acima do limite crítico de 2 MPa.

IDEALITA DAN REALITA DALAM DUNIA PENERJEMAHAN
Authors: Malik Abdul 
Published: March 2019

The question whether communicating message can be done correctly in a translation process is a problematic issue. The process of translating is not only doing the conversion of text from one language to another, but also communicating the message, which is culturally bounded. Translators always risk inappropriate spill-over of source-language idioms and forms into the target-language translation. On the other hand, spill-overs have imported useful source language calques and loanwords that have enriched the target languages. Indeed, translators have helped substantially to shape the languages into which they have translated.

Published: March 2019

Hollywood films as one of America’s prominent industries that influence world’s popular culture can be seen as a cultural discourse. Movie as a popular literature conveys it message in its own unique ways. Myth is one of its messages. This study tries to reconstruct the myth of popular American superhero through an interesting new movie: The Simpsons. How the new type of hero is manifested is analyzed in this study to find out the continuities or changes in American’s collective dreams so that the new American perspective over heroic mythologies can be understood. Basically this study analyzes as well the possibilities of the meanings conveyed by the media. Textual analysis is conducted to understand not only the meanings of the myth of the superhero perceived by the audience but also the American characters inside the myth. The Simpsons seems to offer a new type of hero’s myth, which is very distinct from the previous type of popular superheroes as in Batman, Superman, or Spiderman.

KRITIK AL-HAKIM ATAS BARAT DAN TIMUR DALAM NOVEL ’USFUR MIN AL-SYARQ
Authors: Sukiman Uki 
Published: March 2019

The clash between Eastern and Western civilization has always been a topic of interest with various responses. Egypt is one of the countries, which has this response. This can be seen from Taufiq al-Hakim’s “Usfur min al-Syarq”. The scholars of modern Egypt thought have divided these responses into three groups: the conservatives, the Westernists, and the moderates. The conservatives tend to preserve the indigenous cultures. The Westernists try to westernize the indigenous cultures, while the moderates hybridize the culture. Through Abrams’ categorization, al-Hakim’s thought can be formulated in three developments. Firstly, the progress of those two civilizations has different directions. Each has its own advantages: the Western deals with earth and the Eastern with heaven. Secondly, the Eastern loses its identity if the Western dominates. Thirdly, al-Hakim hybridizes the positive sides of the two poles.
KOMPLEKSITAS POSKOLONIAL DALAM PUISI “NYANYIAN LAWINO” KARYA OKOT P’BITEK
Authors: Iskarna Tatang 
Published: March 2019

This article discusses how an African woman faces the postcolonial complexity as presented in the poem “Song of Lawino” (1966), written by Okot p’Bitek, an Uganda writer. The postcolonial complexity here means the difficult situation of decolonizing process as a result of a cultural clash between local African and Western culture, which has been internalized by some African people. The internalization of the Western culture creates self-hatred racism of African people, political group dispute, woman oppression, and mimicry. Using postcolonial perspective, which is proposed by Franz Fanon, Aime Caesar, and Homi K. Bhaba, the writer analyzes how this poem portrays three phenomena of postcolonial complexity. This postcolonial complexity is investigated through the conflict and the characters in the poem.
PERKEMBANGAN PUISI ARAB MODERN
Authors: Dardiri Taufiq A. 
Published: March 2019

This article aims to study the development of Arabic poetry from its early phase to its modern one. Having used a historical-diachronic study of form and content of Arabic poetry, this article concludes that Arabic poetry, as the oldest genre in the Arabic literary tradition, has hardly developed. Not until the 20th century, more commonly known in the history of Arabic literature as As}r al-Nahd}ah, that the awareness of the absence of creativity in Arabic poetry and external factors due to the interaction of Arab with the West have given birth the seeds of modern Arabic poetry. At least, there are five schools of modern Arabic poetry, namely: Neo Classical (al-Muhāfizun) with such its central figures as Mahmud Sami and Ahmad al-Barudi Syauqy; Western Romanticism, which was pioneered by Khalil Mutran; Madrasah Dīwān, which was propagandized by Abd al-Rahman Shukri, Abbas Mahmud al-'Aqad, and Ibrahim Abd al-Qadir al-Mazini; Madrasah Apollo, which was carried by Ahmad Zaki Abu Syadi; and Madrasah al-Muhajir, which is pioneered by Jibran Khalil Jibran. Each has contributed their part in Arabic poetry formally as well as contentially. Those schools have became a tradition of modern Arabic poetry. The emergence of modern Arabic poetic tradition has been accompanied by three general pattern- the influence of literary patterns of the more advanced cultures, the escapism, and the search for identity.

Published: March 2019

O layout tem interferência direta nos sistemas produtivos das empresas. Contudo não é tarefa fácil prever todas as variáveis em seu rearranjo, e se ao final atenderá às metas globais da empresa. Buscando contribuir com esta questão o presente estudo propôs uma nova abordagem para análise de layout, empregando a simulação de eventos discretos e os indicadores operacionais da Teoria das Restrições (TOC), para avaliar qual o arranjo físico mais adequado – celular ou funcional - a ser utilizado em um setor de misturas de uma empresa de alimentos. Esta análise foi realizada sob a perspectiva dos seguintes indicadores operacionais da TOC: ganho, investimentos e despesas operacionais. Inicialmente foram identificados os produtos mais vendidos em um período de 12 meses, por meio da curva ABC. Em seguida foram realizados os projetos de layout: funcional, através do método de planejamento computadorizado de relação de layout (CORELAP); celular, através da análise de fluxo de produção (FPA). Depois de realizada a modelagem dos layouts com os dados coletados, as simulações foram rodadas e posteriormente analisadas com base nos indicadores operacionais da TOC, apontando ao final o layout mais adequado. Os resultados mostraram que o layout funcional apresentou o melhor desempenho sob a perspectiva dos indicadores operacionais da TOC, proporcionando o aumento no ganho (+12,34%), redução nos investimentos (-11,47%) e redução nas despesas operacionais (-18,71%). Este estudo demonstrou que o layout funcional, no contexto estudado, ofereceu maior flexibilidade produtiva, impactando de forma positiva nos indicadores operacionais da TOC e que tais indicadores podem ser ferramentas efetivas na comparação de layouts.

Published: March 2019

Uvod: Strategija stimulacije, namenjena pacientom s kronično bolečino, je aktivnost samoobvladovanja bolečine, pri čemer se posameznik nauči najti ravnotežje med časom za fizične aktivnosti in časom za počitek. Cilj strategije stimulacije je ohraniti kakovost življenja in zmanjšati simptome kronične bolečine. Za strategijo še ni razvite enotne definicije, prav tako še ni aplicirana v prakso.Metode: Uporabili smo opisno metodo dela, metodo analize in sinteze literature ter smernice PRISMA. Izmed skupno identificiranih 789 zadetkov smo v končno analizo vključili 19 zadetkov. Tako smo izvedli pregled relevantne znanstvene literature ter analizo koncepta stimulacije, ki v slovenskem prostoru še ni bila izvedena in poteka v devetih korakih.Rezultati: Strategijo obvladovanja kronične bolečine je najbolj smiselno deliti v tri skupine: (1) predhodniki: bolečina in neznanje; (2) atributi: aktivnost, čas, ravnovesje, učenje in samonadzor in (3) posledice koncepta: zdravljenje bolečine in povečana učinkovitost pri aktivnostih.Diskusija in zaključek: Pred aplikacijo v prakso je treba opraviti testiranje strategije v kliničnem okolju ter ponovno oceniti prednosti in pomanjkljivosti uporabe koncepta. Mnenja o aplikaciji koncepta v prakso so različna: nekateri menijo, da koncept lahko privede do negativnih posledic, drugi, da uspešno prispeva k zdravljenju kronične bolečine. Strategija bi bila uporabna pri pacientih, ki imajo diagnosticirano kronično bolečino (kronične bolečine po poškodbah, degenerativnih spremembah, kronične bolečine v hrbtu, kronični glavobol, fibromialgija, nevropatska bolečina itd.), ki ni posledica onkološkega obolenja.

Authors: Skok Ines , Štemberger Kolnik Tamara , Babnik Katarina 
Published: March 2019

Uvod: Sladkorna bolezen zahteva od pacienta učinkovito samooskrbo, h kateri pripomore tudi zdravstvena pismenost. V skladu s tem je bil cilj raziskave na vzorcu pacientov s sladkorno boleznijo ugotoviti, kakšna je stopnja splošne in specifične zdravstvene pismenosti.Metode: Izvedena je bila študija primera, v katero je bilo vključenih 36 pacientov s sladkorno boleznijo. Instrumenta za zbiranje podatkov sta bila vprašalnik za oceno splošne zdravstvene pismenosti ter vprašalnik za oceno specifične zdravstvene pismenosti. Zbrani podatki so bili analizirani s pomočjo deskriptivne statistike (frekvence, aritmetične sredine, standardne deviacije). Za vprašalnik splošne zdravstvene pismenosti smo izračunali zanesljivost (Cronbach alpha = 0,94) in analizirali dimenzionalno strukturo (faktorska analiza).Rezultati: Na področju splošne zdravstvene pismenosti so udeleženci dosegli najnižji rezultat pri preprečevanju bolezni (x = 2,89, s = 0,85), najvišji pa pri promociji zdravja (x = 3,13, s = 0,79). Osebe, ki so sodelovale v raziskavi, izkazujejo visoko specifično zdravstveno pismenost, saj so bili njihovi odgovori na večino vprašanj vprašalnika o specifični zdravstveni pismenosti pacientov s sladkorno boleznijo v povprečju 82 % pravilni.Diskusija in zaključek: Rezultati raziskave potrjujejo ustrezno stopnjo specifične zdravstvene pismenosti na področju sladkorne bolezni pri skupini pacientov, zajetih v raziskavo. Nekoliko slabša je njihova splošna zdravstvena pismenost na področju preprečevanja bolezni in zagotavljanja zdravega življenjskega sloga.
