Published: November 2018

AbstractThe present study is the case of a breast cancer patient who visited the local unit of the Brahma Kumaris (BK). Conversations with the patient revealed that the patient was being treated in the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India. The treatment of the patient included the surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. The patient narrated her ability to manage the psychological stress associated with the cancer treatment. She ascribed it to the positive attitude developed by her practice of the Rajyoga meditation from last 15 years. Rajyoga involved the daily meditation and regular listening to the specified commentary recommended by BK. Patient’s health remains stable during the whole treatment process as analyzed by the mammography, histopathology and PET scan. The patient was also able to maintain the total body weight, biochemical and hematological profile within normal physiological range. The present case study is an attempt to provide Rajyoga as supportive means to the maintenance of patient’s biochemical and hematological profile, and overall general health during breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
Soil compaction is a serious problem, which is aggravated due to its difficulty to locate and reverse. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a non-invasive geophysical method that can be used to identify compacted areas, soil horizon thickness and assess soil physical properties. This study assesses the relationship between ERT and soil compaction. Data were collected on a 4-m transect in a fallow plot located at Braganca (Portugal). Measurements were performed before and after tillage and tractor passage. Soil samples at different depths (0-0.05, 0.05-0.1 and 0.1-0.2 m depth) were taken to determine: soil bulk density, porosity, saturated hydraulic conductivity and soil water content. The effect of tillage and tractor passage was more significant on the first 0.05 m depth. In the wheel track areas, ERT suffered a reduction of about 40%, saturated hydraulic conductivity decreased by 70% and bulk density increased by 24%. These results proved that ERT can be a useful tool for assessing soil compaction.
Mögliche Dialektmerkmale in den Personennamen des Mittleren Reiches

Summary
The paper discusses three irregularities in the regional distribution of personal names in Middle Kingdom sources, which may be linked to regional language varieties. One feature, the sound change , occurs predominantly in sources from the Memphis-Faiyum region. The two other features, the use of the negative word and the possessive prefix , are confined to Theban and Southern Upper Egyptian sources. The latter two features become standard in Late Egyptian; thus, the evidence presented in the paper contributes to the discussion on the possible dialectal status of Late Egyptian during the Middle Kingdom.

Published: November 2018

Background and Purpose:
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common disease that hinders activity participation in older adults. Associated symptoms and physiological changes can increase risk of falling in individuals with KOA. Balance training can decrease fall risks in older adults. Limited evidence exists regarding utilization of balance training in physical therapy (PT) for this population. This secondary data analysis investigated the proportion of participants at high risk for falling in the PhysicAl THerapy vs. INternet-based Exercise Training for Patients with Osteoarthritis (PATH-IN) study and the frequency with which balance training was utilized as an intervention in PT.

Methods:
PATH-IN study participants (N = 344) performed the Four-Stage Balance Test and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test during baseline assessment. Participants were randomly allocated to PT, an Internet-based exercise program, or a control group. Participants were classified as being at high risk for falling if they did not progress to the single-leg stance (SLS) during the Four-Stage Balance Test, were unable to maintain SLS for 5 seconds, or took longer than 13.5 seconds to complete the TUG test. The proportion of participants at high risk for falling was calculated for all participants and separately for those allocated to PT. In addition, PT notes were coded for balance training and the frequency of balance training utilization was calculated.

Results and Discussion:
Upon enrollment, 35.5% (N = 122) of all participants and 36.2% (N = 50) of those allocated to PT were at high risk for falling. Of participants allocated to PT with documentation available for coding (N = 118), 35.5% (N = 42) were at high risk for falling. Balance training was provided to 62.7% (N = 74) during at least one PT session. Of those classified as being at high risk for falling, 33.3% (N = 14) did not receive balance training.

Conclusions:
The finding of high fall risks in more than one-third of all participants with KOA is consistent with previous reports of a higher risk of falling in this population. Many PT participants did receive some balance training; however, one-third of participants at high risk for falling did not. Balance training for individuals with KOA at high risk for falling may be underutilized.
Hip Muscle Strengthening for Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review of Literature
Authors: Raghava Neelapala Y. V. , Bhagat Madhura , Shah Purvi 
Published: November 2018

Background and Purpose:
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee joint results in chronic pain and functional decline among older adults. Hip muscle weakness has been observed in persons with knee OA and is claimed to increase the medial compartment loading on the knee joint. Although individual studies are available, no review has yet integrated the literature on the benefits of hip muscle strengthening for persons with knee OA. This review aims to systematically summarize the current evidence on the effectiveness of hip muscle strengthening on knee pain, lower extremity function, and biomechanical measures of the knee in persons with knee OA.

Methods:
An extensive electronic literature search was conducted in the databases PubMed, Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) to identify the published trials in the English language from January 1990 to August 2017. Randomized controlled trials that studied the effectiveness of hip muscle strengthening in persons with knee OA on knee pain, physical function, and biomechanical measures of the knee were considered for inclusion. The key word combinations were knee osteoarthritis, degenerative arthritis, arthralgia, muscle strengthening, and resistance training using the Boolean operators AND, OR. Two reviewers independently performed the study selection, and a third reviewer intervened when the consensus was not attained. Quality assessment of the included studies was carried out using the PEDro scale.

Results and Discussion:
The search produced 774 results, from which 81 full-text articles were studied. Five randomized controlled trials of good methodological quality, including 331 participants, were included in the review. The effectiveness of hip muscle strengthening was assessed in isolation, combination, and comparison with other lower extremity exercise. Overall, the studies reported clear benefits of hip muscle strengthening on knee pain, physical function, and hip muscle strength. However, hip muscle strengthening was ineffective in improving the biomechanical measures such as dynamic alignment and knee adduction (also known as valgus) moment.

Conclusion:
The current review identified strong, high-quality evidence to recommend hip muscle strengthening in the conservative management of persons with knee OA. Further research is needed to establish the underlying mechanisms for the clinical benefits.
Reliability, Validity, and Ability to Identity Fall Status of the Berg Balance Scale, Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest), Mini-BESTest, and Brief-BESTest in Older Adults Who Live in Nursing Homes

Published: November 2018

Background and Purpose:
In any given year, 28% to 35% of older adults experience falls. In nursing home environments, the annual rate of falls increases to 30% to 50%. Our objective was to verify and compare the reliability, validity, and ability to identify falls of the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest), Mini-BESTest, and Brief-BESTest for older adults who live in nursing homes.

Methods:
This was a cross-sectional study. Older adults (n = 49; aged 62-90 years; mean = 77.8; standard deviation = 7.2) were recruited from a nonprofit nursing home. All participants were assessed by 2 physiotherapists using the BBS, BESTest, Mini-BESTest, and Brief-BESTest. The interrater and test-retest (7-14 days) reliability were assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs [2, 1]). Minimal detectable changes at the 95% confidence level were established. To analyze each test's ability to identify fall status, we used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, whose statistical significance we verified using the area under the ROC curve (AUC) and respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The diagnostic likelihood ratios (positive and negative) and 95% CI were used to verify posttest probability. We used Fagan's nomogram to show the posttest probability of each balance test. Validity was assessed using kappa coefficients and the prevalence-adjusted bias-adjusted kappa (PABAK).

Results:
Interrater and test-retest reliability for the total scores were good to excellent across all 4 tests (ICC interrater value = 0.992-0.994 and ICC test-retest value = 0.886-0.945). All tests were also able to identify fall status (AUC = 0.712-0.762) and were in good agreement with each other (kappa coefficient for individuals with fall risk = 0.679-0.957 and individuals with no fall risk = 0.135-0.143; PABAK = 83.7%-98%).

Conclusion:
All balance tests presented similar reliability, reproducibility, and validity. This suggests that any of these tests can be used in clinical practice. However, the Brief-BESTest is the quickest and easiest test to perform.

Myeloperoxidase is a key factor promoting development of halogenative/oxidative stress under inflammatory conditions. Previously, we have discovered complexes including myeloperoxidase and its physiological inhibitor, ceruloplasmin in blood plasma of patients with inflammatory diseases of different etiology, e.g., atherosclerosis. Studies on regulation of myeloperoxidase activity by ceruloplasmin have shown that hypochlorous acid, a specific product of myeloperoxidase action, is likely to modify ceruloplasmin during inflammation. The present study was aimed for analysis of relationships between the myeloperoxidase activity, native, and HOCl-modified ceruloplasmin levels in blood plasma samples of the patients with cardiovascular diseases.Specific antibodies against myeloperoxidase, ceruloplasmin, and HOCl-modified ceruloplasmin were obtained and specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were developed. A combination of highly sensitive methods of myeloperoxidase assay i.e., solid-phase adsorption of antigens with subsequent testing of either their activity, or peroxidase-labeled antibody activity allowed elaborating the highly sensitive assays for ceruloplasmin and its HOCl-modified molecules, and for myeloperoxidase (concentration, peroxidase and halogenating activity). Positive correlation was proven between the myeloperoxidase concentration and activities. HOCl-modified ceruloplasmin content also correlated with myeloperoxidase activity.The HOCl-modified ceruloplasmin was first discovered in blood plasma samples from patients with cardiovascular diseases. In view of correlation between myeloperoxidase activity and HOCl-modified ceruloplasmin content in plasma, we suggest that HOCl production is aimed for suppression of myeloperoxidaseinhibitory function of ceruloplasmin.

Authors: Sembiring Tagor Malem , Artiani Pungky Ayu 
Published: November 2018

The 10 MW HTR Indonesian Experimental Power Reactor (RDE reactor) is designed identical with the HTR-10 in China, conceptually. However, the review results showed that the spent fuel cask model which is used between two reactors is fully different, such as size and capacity. The proposed cask model in RDE reactor can hold 15 times more fuel pebbles than HTR-10 has. This research activities deal with the subcriticality analysis for the spent fuel cask of RDE reactor if using the HTR-10 cask model. The subcriticality condition is designed to meet the limit of safety value. The objective of this research is to determine the subcriticality value in the normal and accident events for the spent fuel cask when it is in the reactor building and the spent fuel cask room. All calculations were carried out by MCNP6.1 code. The selected external events are the water ingress (reactor room), water flood and the combination event of water flood and earthquake. The calculation results showed that the maximum value of keff (3σ) are 0.47510 and 0.19214 for the cask in the reactor building and in the spent fuel cask room, respectively. This value is far from the limit value of 0.95. The calculation results showed that the spent fuel cask are in the safe condition eventhough in the worst combination events, the cask is flooded and earthquake. The HTR-10 spent fuel cask can be proposed as an alternative for the RDE reactor to get an efficient reactor building.Keywords: spent pebble fuel element, HTGR, subcriticality, MCNP6.1, RDE reactor ANALISIS SUBKRITIKALITAS PENYIMPAN BAHAN BAKAR BEKAS MODEL CASK REAKTOR HTR-10 UNTUK REAKTOR DAYA EKSPERIMENTAL 10 MW TERMAL.

The PWR-FUEL code is a multi dimensional, multi group diffusion code with nodal and finite difference methods. The code will be used to calculate the fuel management of PWR reactor core. The result depends on the accuracy of the codes in producing the core effective multiplication factor and power density distribution. The objective of this research is to validate the PWR-FUEL code for those cases. The validation are carried out by benchmarking cores of IAEA-2D, KOERBERG-2D and BIBLIS-2D. The all three cases have different characteristics, thus it will result in a good accuracy benchmarking. The calculation results of effective multiplication factor have a maximum difference of 0.014 %, which is greater than the reference values. For the power peaking factor, the maximum deviation is 1.75 % as compared to the reference values. Those results show that the accuracy of PWR-FUEL in calculating the static parameter of PWR reactor benchmarks are very satisfactory.Keywords: Validation, PWR-FUEL code, static parameter.

Published: November 2018

Tulisan ini berupaya menggali makna isu rivalitas keamanan yang saat ini berlangsung antara negara adidaya Amerika Serikat dengan China di kawasan Asia Pasifik. Dengan kebangkitan China, hubungan Sino-AS telah menjadi semakin penting bagi stabilitas keamanan Asia Pasifik. Rivalitas keamanan yang terjadi antara kedua negara tersebut semacam ‘ritual lama’ yang kini diulang oleh ‘jamaah baru’. Kontestasi politik dan keamanan yang sudah usai dengan berakhirnya Perang Dingin, secara langsung belum mampu menjadikan Amerika Serikat sebagai negara adidaya tunggal dan secara sepihak mampu terus menerus melakukan kontrol dinamika politik dunia. Hadirnya China memberikan alternatif dalam interaksi keamanan regional Asia Pasifik. Inisiasi strategi China dan respon aktif Amerika Serikat akan menentukan lanskap keamanan Asia Pasifik dalam beberapa dekade mendatang. Didorong oleh kebangkitan China tersebut, identitas China kini telah bergeser menjadi kekuatan besar yang intimidatif. Disatu sisi ia menjadi ancaman bagi kepentingan keamanan kawasan AS, disisi lain China juga hadir sebagai kompetitor dalam kepentingan ekonomi AS.Kata-kata kunci: Rivalitas keamanan, negara adidaya, Amerika Serikat dan China. kawasan Asia Pasifik.
