MEMBEDAH KERUKUNAN PASCA KONFLIK Refleksi Segregasi Pemukiman Muslim dan Nasrani di Ambon
Authors: Ismail Arifuddin 
Published: August 2018

Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk melakukan refleksi “<em>Kerukunan Umat Beragama di Ambon Maluku” </em>dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Secara khusus penelitian ini focus pada “segregasi pemukiman antara Muslim dengan Nasrani pasca konflik di Ambon. Salah satu kasus konflik yang menggoncangkan Indonesia, bahkan dunia adalah “Konflik Ambon”. Kejadiannya sudah berlangsung lebih dua decade, dan secara faktual di permukaan menunjukkan kehidupan yang aman dan damai. Tentu dengan kebijakan pemerintah yang dari awal melakukan “<em>Segregasi Pemukiman</em>” antara Muslim dengan Nasrani pasca konflik. Ternyata di balik kedamaian terselubung banyak hal, sebagai dampak dari “<em>segregasi pemukiman</em>,” yaitu: 1. Melemahnya solidaritas kultural, dan menguatnya solidaritas keagamaan pada masing-masing umat beragama; 2. Melanggengkan rasa trauma masyarakat terhadap konflik yang mengerikan, artinya dengan pengalaman konflik Ambon memunculkan dampak psychologis yang berkepanjangan, dan berefek pada susahnya memulihkan dan mengembalikan kepercayaan (<em>trust</em>); 3 Interaksi yang terbangun bersifat formal dan semu di ruang-ruang public. Masing-masing komunitas menjalani kehidupannya sendiri-sendiri, bahkan merasa enggan untuk saling berkunjung, dan membangun komunikasi yang lebih intens, sehingga terjadi jarak sosial di antara kedua komunitas; 4. Menciptakan sekat-sekat pemisah yang pada setiap komunitas memunculkan stigma negatif terhadap orang-orang yang berada di luar kelompoknya (<em>the other)</em>, konteks ini terjadi ketegangan sosial yang sewaktu-waktu mencuat ke permukaan menjadi “konflik terbuka.”<em> </em>Kondisi masyarakat seperti di Ambon mengundang perhatian yang lebih intens guna membedah satu persatu fenomena psykososial yang berada pada titik mengkhawatirkan. Pilihan utama yang harus dilakukan adalah bagaimana mengkondisikan masyarakat yang di dalamnya terbangun interaksi yang intens dan rajutan kasih sayang secara ikhlas dan simultan untuk menggapai kehidupan yang kondusif dalam kedamaian yang abadi

Authors: Kreider Kathryn Evans , Padilla B. Iris 
Published: August 2018

Background:
Nurse practitioners (NPs) have a critical role in meeting the growing demand for health care in the current complex health care system. The use of NPs in both primary care and specialty settings is expected to rise significantly by 2025 in response to increased demands and a shortage of physician providers.

Method:
The Duke University School of Nursing, with funding from the Health Resource Services Administration, has implemented the first endocrinology specialty training program for primary care NP students.

Results:
The first in the country, this innovative, hybrid training program prepares primary care NP students to manage complex diabetes mellitus and general endocrine conditions.

Conclusion:

Well-trained NPs can help meet the increased demands in primary care. This subspecialty certificate program provides a framework for other graduate nursing schools that are considering adding specialty content as a supplement to primary care training. [

Abstract
Glatiramer acetate (GA; Copaxone) is a copolymer therapeutic that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the relapsing-remitting form of multiple sclerosis. Despite an unclear mechanism of action, studies have shown that GA promotes protective Th2 immunity and stimulates release of cytokines that suppress autoimmunity. In this study, we demonstrate that GA interacts with murine paired Ig-like receptor B (PIR-B) on myeloid-derived suppressor cells and suppresses the STAT1/NF-κB pathways while promoting IL-10/TGF-β cytokine release. In inflammatory bowel disease models, GA enhanced myeloid-derived suppressor cell–dependent CD4+ regulatory T cell generation while reducing proinflammatory cytokine secretion. Human monocyte-derived macrophages responded to GA by reducing TNF-α production and promoting CD163 expression typical of alternative maturation despite the presence of GM-CSF. Furthermore, GA competitively interacts with leukocyte Ig-like receptors B (LILRBs), the human orthologs of PIR-B. Because GA limited proinflammatory activation of myeloid cells, therapeutics that target LILRBs represent novel treatment modalities for autoimmune indications.
Modeling the Metaverse: A Theoretical Model of Effective Team Collaboration in 3D Virtual Environments
Authors: Van der Land Sarah , Schouten Alexander P. , Van den Hooff Bart , Feldberg Frans 
Published: August 2018

In this paper, a theoretical model of effective team collaboration in 3D virtual environments is presented. The aim of this model is to enhance our understanding of the capabilities exerting influence on effective 3D virtual team collaboration. The model identifies a number of specific capabilities of 3D virtual worlds that can contribute to this team effectiveness. Compared to "traditional" computer-mediated collaboration technologies, 3D virtual environments support team collaboration primarily through (a) the shared virtual environment, and (b) avatar-based interaction. Through the shared virtual environment, users experience higher levels of presence (a feeling of actually "being there"), realism and interactivity. These capabilities increase the users' level of information processing. Avatar-based interaction induces greater feelings of social presence (being with others) and control over self-presentation (how one wants to be perceived by others), thus increasing the level of communication support in the 3D environment. Through greater levels of information and communication support, a higher level of shared understanding is reached, which in turn positively influences team performance. Our paper concludes by presenting several propositions which allow further empirical testing, implications for research and practice, and suggestions for future research. The insights obtained from this paper can help developers of these virtual worlds to design standards for the capabilities that influence effective team collaboration in 3D virtual environments.
HPO2GO: prediction of human phenotype ontology term associations for proteins using cross ontology annotation co-occurrences
Authors: Doğan Tunca 
Published: August 2018

Analysing the relationships between biomolecules and the genetic diseases is a highly active area of research, where the aim is to identify the genes and their products that cause a particular disease due to functional changes originated from mutations. Biological ontologies are frequently employed in these studies, which provides researchers with extensive opportunities for knowledge discovery through computational data analysis. In this study, a novel approach is proposed for the identification of relationships between biomedical entities by automatically mapping phenotypic abnormality defining HPO terms with biomolecular function defining GO terms, where each association indicates the occurrence of the abnormality due to the loss of the biomolecular function expressed by the corresponding GO term. The proposed HPO2GO mappings were extracted by calculating the frequency of the co-annotations of the terms on the same genes/proteins, using already existing curated HPO and GO annotation sets. This was followed by the filtering of the unreliable mappings that could be observed due to chance, by statistical resampling of the co-occurrence similarity distributions. Furthermore, the biological relevance of the finalized mappings were discussed over selected cases, using the literature. The resulting HPO2GO mappings can be employed in different settings to predict and to analyse novel gene/protein—ontology term—disease relations. As an application of the proposed approach, HPO term—protein associations (i.e., HPO2protein) were predicted. In order to test the predictive performance of the method on a quantitative basis, and to compare it with the state-of-the-art, CAFA2 challenge HPO prediction target protein set was employed. The results of the benchmark indicated the potential of the proposed approach, as HPO2GO performance was among the best (Fmax = 0.35). The automated cross ontology mapping approach developed in this work may be extended to other ontologies as well, to identify unexplored relation patterns at the systemic level.

Published: August 2018

AbstractPhosphorus promotion on Fischer‐Tropsch (FT) synthesis was investigated for Co/Al2O3 and Co/SiO2 catalysts having the same Co/P ratio. When P is added to Co/Al2O3, CO conversion on a per g catalyst basis decreased, while methane selectivity increased. Catalyst stability was higher for the sample containing both P and Pt. The main cause for lower initial conversion is Co site blocking, while the lower extent of cobalt reduction for the P‐promoted Co/Al2O3 sample played a lesser role. When SiO2 is used to support cobalt particles, an initial induction period for the P‐promoted catalyst was observed, where CO conversion increased. Higher CO conversion at steady state, as well as improved catalyst stability during FT testing, suggest that P hindered sintering. Over the same period, a decline and leveling off of conversion were observed for the unpromoted catalyst. Completely different effects were observed depending on support type. P only acted as a poison for Co/Al2O3, whereas beneficial effects on steady state CO conversion and stability occurred with Co/SiO2. The different effects of P for Al2O3 and SiO2 supported Co catalysts can be explained by differences in Co‐support interactions. With alumina, Co clusters are already stabilized by strong interactions with the support. P has no benefit, as it mainly interacts with alumina instead of Co; pore blocking by P also occurred. In contrast, SiO2 has weak interactions with Co and less Co cluster stabilization. With P promotion, P anchors Co to the support, improving Co dispersion, stability and steady‐state conversion.
Voltammetric Behaviors and Determination of Thiocyanate on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes‐Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide Modified Electrode
Authors: Li Dan , Xie Fangfang , Zhang Jingdong 
Published: August 2018

AbstractElectrochemical behaviors of thiocyanate on three carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composites modified glass carbon electrode (GCE) were studied. The modified electrodes were prepared with CNTs suspended in aqueous solutions of chitosan (CHT), poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), respectively. The results indicated that CNTs‐CTAB enhanced the voltammetric response of thiocyanate more remarkably than other two CNTs composites. Then, the voltammetric behaviors of thiocyanate on CNTs‐CTAB/GCE were investigated systematically to develop an electrochemical sensor for thiocyanate determination. The solution pH, supporting electrolyte, amount of CNTs‐CTAB suspension, and accumulation time were optimized. Under optimum conditions, the anodic peak current on CNTs‐CTAB/GCE increased linearly with increasing the thiocyanate concentration from 5.0×10−6 to 1.0×10−4 mol L−1. The proposed CNTs‐CTAB/GCE was demonstrated to provide a fast and low‐cost approach to monitoring the adsorptive removal of thiocyanate with layered double hydrotalcite (LDH).
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus drive immune dysfunction, infection development, and sepsis mortality

Abstract
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) are global pandemics. Worldwide, the prevalence of obesity has nearly tripled since 1975 and the prevalence of T2D has almost doubled since 1980. Both obesity and T2D are indolent and chronic diseases that develop gradually, with cellular physiologic changes occurring before the clinical signs and symptoms of the diseases become apparent. Individuals with obesity and T2D are physiologically frail and have an increased risk of infections and mortality from sepsis. Improvement in the morbidity and mortality of these at-risk populations would provide a great societal benefit. We believe that the worsened outcomes observed in these patient populations is due to immune system dysfunction that is triggered by the chronic low-grade inflammation present in both diseases. As immune modulatory therapies have been utilized in other chronic inflammatory diseases, there is an emerging role for immune modulatory therapies that target the chronically affected immune pathways in obese and T2D patients. Additionally, bariatric surgery is currently the most successful treatment for obesity and is the only weight loss method that also causes a sustained, substantial improvement of T2D. Consequently, bariatric surgery may also have a role in improving immunity in these patient populations.
Review on how obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus impact immunity and lead to poor clinical outcomes and the cellular changes observed after weight loss.
Detonation Characteristics of Emulsion Explosives Sensitized by Hydrogen‐Storage Glass Microballoons

Published: August 2018

AbstractIn order to improve the detonation performances of emulsion explosives, a new type of emulsion explosives sensitized by hydrogen‐storage glass microballoons is proposed. The influences of hydrogen in glass microballoons on explosion characteristics of emulsion explosives were studied. Brisance testing and underwater explosion experiments showed that, compared with traditional emulsion explosives, the shock impulse and specific total energy of hydrogen‐storage glass microballoons sensitized emulsion explosives are improved significantly. The brisance (compression of lead block) of hydrogen‐storage emulsion explosives is 23.0 mm, 3.2 mm more than that of traditional emulsion explosives. Therefore, the hydrogen‐storage glass microballoons could be a promising energetic additive for developing high‐power emulsion explosives.
Doing Good Together: Competition Law and the Political Legitimacy of Interfirm Cooperation
Authors: Claassen Rutger , Gerbrandy Anna 
Published: August 2018

ABSTRACT:Demands have been growing upon firms to take actions in the interests of workers, the environment, local communities, and others. Firms sometimes have felt they could best discharge such responsibilities by cooperating with other firms. This, however, is suspect from the point of view of a purely economic interpretation of competition law, since interfirm agreements may raise prices and thus lower welfare for consumers. Should competition law remain focused on competition enhancing economic welfare, or be reformed to allow for acts of cooperation that are socially beneficial? To answer this question, the article provides a philosophical reevaluation of the deep-seated view that firms are merely private actors. It argues that demands of political legitimacy should also be addressed at firms cooperating together, and that standard views of democratic accountability should be broadened, introducing a model of delegated, sequential decision making which allows regulatory agencies and parliaments to control interfirm agreements.

Published: August 2018

ABSTRACTFull-scale simulations of a (Magnetorheological) MR damper are carried out for revealing its hysteretic behaviors associated with implementation of semi-active control using the routine of computational fluid dynamics. By virtue of the structural symmetry of the MR damper, a two-dimensional configuration for finite element simulation is built up. Herschel-Bulkley model is employed to represent the property of the MR fluid, of which the control parameters and their relevances to the input current are addressed. Typical cases involving sinusoidal and irregular displacements, steady and transient currents loaded upon the MR damper are investigated. Numerical investigations reveal that the damper force has a positive correlation with input current, excitation amplitude and excitation frequency. The full-scale simulation is proved to exhibit a sound accuracy through the validation of experimental data. It provides a logical manner revealing the true performance of MR dampers under desirable operating modes in practice, and can be readily integrated with the gain design of the associated semi-actively controlled structure. This progress bypasses the technical challenge inherent in the traditional tests with low-frequency cyclic loadings due to the limitation of experimental setup. Besides, comparative study between two-dimensional and three-dimensional configuration simulations of the MR damper shows that former has a better applicability, which can be carried out on a low-cost platform.

AbstractFindings from clinical trials on the effect of Mg supplementation on depression and anxiety are not generalisable to the community owing to high-dose intervention in short-term periods. Limited observational data are available linking dietary intake of Mg and psychiatric disorders. We aimed to investigate the association between dietary intake of Mg and psychiatric disorders in a large cross-sectional study on Iranian adults. A total of 3172 Iranian adults (with an age range of 18–55 years) were included in this study. Data on dietary intakes were collected using a validated dish-based 106-item semi-quantitative FFQ. To assess depression and anxiety, an Iranian validated version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used. Furthermore, psychological distress was examined using the General Health Questionnaire. The mean age of men and women was 38·4 (sd8·2) and 35·1 (sd7·4) years, respectively. In unadjusted analyses, we found that higher dietary Mg intake was associated with lower odds of anxiety among women (OR 0·61; 95 % CI 0·41, 0·90), such that after taking potential confounders into account women in the highest quintile of Mg intake had a 39 % lower odds of anxiety compared with those in the lowest quintile (OR 0·61; 95 % CI 0·40, 0·93). Moreover, deficient Mg intake was positively associated with anxiety among all women (OR 1·80; 95 % CI 1·19, 2·72) and also normal-weight women (OR 1·73; 95 % CI 1·01, 2·95). In addition, a significant inverse association was found between dietary Mg intake and depression among normal-weight men (OR 0·45; 95 % CI 0·20, 0·99) and overweight women (OR 0·45; 95 % CI 0·24, 0·85). In conclusion, dietary intake of Mg was inversely associated with depression and anxiety. However, such findings were not seen for psychological distress.
Kinematic topology and constraints of multi-loop linkages
Authors: Müller Andreas 
Published: August 2018

SUMMARYModeling the instantaneous kinematics of lower pair linkages using joint screws and the finite kinematics with Lie group concepts is well established on a solid theoretical foundation. This allows for modeling the forward kinematics of mechanisms as well the loop closure constraints of kinematic loops. Yet there is no established approach to the modeling of complex mechanisms possessing multiple kinematic loops. For such mechanisms, it is crucial to incorporate the kinematic topology within the modeling in a consistent and systematic way. To this end, in this paper a kinematic model graph is introduced that gives rise to an ordering of the joints within a mechanism and thus allows to systematically apply established kinematics formulations. It naturally gives rise to topologically independent loops and thus to loop closure constraints. Geometric constraints as well as velocity and acceleration constraints are formulated in terms of joint screws. An extension to higher order loop constraints is presented. It is briefly discussed how the topology representation can be used to amend structural mobility criteria.
The role of prenatal maternal stress in the development of childhood anxiety symptomatology: The QF2011 Queensland Flood Study

Published: August 2018

AbstractIt is possible that findings suggesting a link between prenatal maternal stress (PNMS) and anxiety symptoms in offspring are confounded by postnatal and/or shared mother–child heritability effects. Following exposure to a natural disaster, the Queensland Flood Study investigated the unique and additive effects of various types of disaster-related PNMS (objective hardship, cognitive appraisal, and subjective distress) on childhood anxiety symptomatology (internalizing and/or anxiety symptom measures). Timing of flood exposure during pregnancy and child sex were examined as potential moderators. After controlling for maternal psychosocial factors, greater objective hardship as a result of the floods was significantly associated with greater anxiety symptoms (N = 114) and marginally associated with greater internalizing behaviors (N = 115). Earlier timing of the flood in pregnancy was associated with greater anxiety symptoms. No such associations were found between any PNMS measure and teacher-rated child internalizing behaviors (N = 90). Sex and timing did not moderate associations. Our findings suggest that, in isolation, increased maternal hardship due to exposure to an independent stressor, during pregnancy, may have a programming effect on childhood anxiety symptoms.
