Authors: Hudayawan Riza Nor , Darsono Darsono , Kusuma Damar Yoga 
Published: November 2018

Material berdensitas energi elektrik tinggi sebagai bahan dielektrik kapasitor sangat diperlukan dalam industri bidang elektronika. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah mengkarakterisasi dan menganalisis polimer PVDF( Poly vinylidene fluorde) dan PVDF-HFP (Poly vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropene) sebelum dan sesudah diimplan ion nitrogen. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan ialah menyiapkan sampel lapisan tipis Polimer PVDFdan PVDF-HFP kemudian diimplan menggunakan ion nitrogen pada dosis 4,69 x 1016 ion/cm2 hingga 1,41 x 1018 ion/cm2 pada energi 10 keV. Selanjutnya nilai kapasitansi, faktor disipasi dan kekuatan dielektrik sampel dikarakterisasi menggunakan LCR meter GW-Instek 800. Morfologi dan ikatan struktur dari sampel dikarakterisasi menggunakan SEM dan FTIR. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan nilai kapasitansi sebesar 4,3 kali pada polimer PVDF dan 1,4 kali pada polimer PVDF-HPF. Peningkatan nilai kapasitansi disebabkan bertambahnya ikatan rangkap C=C pada PVDF dan PVDF-HFP yang diimplan ion nitrogen. Hal tersebut dibuktikan dari hasil karakterisasi FTIR dan SEM. Namun demikian nilai kekuatan dielektrik mengalami penurunan akibat semakin konduktifnya polimer PVDF dan PVDF-HPF. Untuk sampel PVDF ada kapasitansi optimum dicapai pada dosis 9,38 x 1017 ion/cm2 sedangkan untuk sampel PVDF-HFP diatas dosis tersebut memperlihatkan gejala saturasi. Nilai kapasitansi optimal diperoleh berturut-turut sebesar 0,089483 nF, faktor disipasi 0,129613 % pada polimer PVDF dan 0,134889 nF, faktor disipasi 0,09784 % untuk polimer PVDF-HFP.

Negotiating Between Identities: Indonesia’s Chinese-Language Newspapers in the Post-New Order Era
Authors: Wen Yuhao 
Published: November 2018

<p>This study aims to provide a description of Chinese-Indonesian identity in the post-New Order era. Under the previous authoritarian regime, public expression of Chinese identity in all social fields, such as culture, language and politics, was officially suppressed by the government through its assimilation policy. A person could be Chinese or Indonesian, but not both. Since the collapse of the New Order government in 1998, Indonesia has begun the process of democratization, and the old Indonesian identity and cultural heritage of Indonesia has been "liberated". Now there is an urgent need to re-examine the identity of the Chinese. One channel for expressing Chinese ethnic identity is through ethnic media, such as Chinese newspapers which this paper will focus on. Based on this context, this paper aims to see what Chinese-Indonesian identities are presented in Chinese-language Indonesian newspapers in the post-New Order era by analyzing their reporting and discussion regarding main domestic political events.</p><p><strong>Bahasa Abstrak:</strong> Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan penggambaran identitas orang Tionghoa-Indonesia di era pasca-Orde Baru. Di bawah rezim otoriter, ekspresi publik dengan identitas Tionghoa di semua bidang sosial, seperti budaya, bahasa dan politik, ditekan secara resmi oleh pemerintah seiring dengan kebijakan asimilasi. Seseorang bisa menjadi orang Tionghoa atau orang Indonesia, tetapi tidak keduanya. Sejak runtuhnya pemerintahan Orde Baru pada tahun 1998, Indonesia telah memulai proses demokratisasi, dan identitas lama serta warisan budaya Tionghoa-Indonesia telah "dibebaskan". Sekarang ada kebutuhan mendesak untuk memeriksa kembali identitas orang Tionghoa. Satu saluran untuk mengekspresikan identitas etnis Tionghoa adalah melalui media etnis, seperti surat kabar berbahasa Mandarin - sebagaimana yang akan difokuskan oleh makalah ini. Berdasarkan konteks ini, makalah ini bertujuan untuk melihat apa identitas orang Tionghoa-Indonesia yang disajikan dalam surat kabar Indonesia berbahasa Mandarin di masa pasca-Orde Baru, dengan menganalisa pelaporan dan diskusi mereka mengenai peristiwa politik domestik yang utama.</p>
Planting Date, Hybrid Maturity, and Weather Effects on Maize Yield and Crop Stage
Authors: Baum M. E. , Archontoulis S. V. , Licht M. A. 
Published: November 2018

Core Ideas
Planting in mid‐May can significantly diminish Iowa maize grain yields.
Grain yield variability is explained mostly by planting date with minor effect from relative maturity.
Silking date is a good indicator of grain yield; silking beyond 25 July was detrimental.
Unfavorable weather conditions frequently cause farmers to plant maize (Zea mays L.) outside the optimum planting timeframe. We analyzed maize yield and phenology from a multi‐location, year, hybrid relative maturity, and planting date experiment performed in Iowa, USA. Our objectives were to determine the optimum combination of planting date and relative maturity to maximize maize grain yield per environment and to elucidate the risk associated with the use of “full‐season hybrids” when planting occurs beyond the optimum planting date. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) attributed 70% of the variability in grain yield to planting date and only 10% to relative maturity indicating that short and full‐season hybrid relative maturities produced similar grain yields regardless of when they were planted as long as the crops reached maturity before harvesting. Our analysis indicated time to silking is a good indication of expected yield potential with a critical time (beyond which yield is reduced) to be 23 July for Iowa. Furthermore, we found that a minimum growing degree accumulation of 648°C‐day during the grain‐filling period maximized maize yield. Overall, this study brings new results to assist decision making regarding planting date by hybrid relative maturity across Iowa.

Core Ideas
Incorporation of resistance to Charcoal Rot is an important goal for soybean breeding programs.
Single nucleotide polymorphisms and haplotypes associated with Charcoal Rot resistance will be an important breeding component.
Genome wide association studies that use haplotype information can afford new insights into the traits determinants.
Incorporation of resistance to Charcoal Rot (CR), caused by the soil‐borne fungus Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid., is an important goal for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] breeding programs. However, the limited accessible information on sources and hereditary mechanisms related to resistance has impeded progress, as reflected in the lack of commercial CR‐resistant soybean varieties around the world. The identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes associated with CR resistance will be an important breeding component. In this study, a genome wide association study (GWAS) was undertaken to identify genomic regions controlling CR resistance in a soybean association mapping panel, using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and haplotype information. The soybean varieties (N = 169) were field‐evaluated on a site with a history of heavy CR infestation in Citrus Research Center and Agricultural Experiment Station (CRC‐AES) at the University of California, Riverside, USA, and genotyped with 6000 SNP markers. Symptoms of mortality were evaluated for 12 wk after the first symptoms of infection. Two SNP‐based haplotypes were found associated with CR in the genome‐wide haplotype association analysis. Two associations of stable haplotypes for CR, haplotype TAC and CGA of the markers Gm08_18909193_A_G, Gm08_44422211_T_C, and Gm19_34320762_A_C were identified. These markers are associated with other important disease resistance genes in the soybean genome. These findings will allow breeders to improve tropical soybean breeding for CR resistance. A haplotype‐based GWAS can provide more information into the genetic basis of CR resistance that could not be captured by the single marker approach.

Published: November 2018

This study aims to test the validity and
reliability of the Turkish adaption of Hofmann, Carpenter and Curtis’ (2016)
Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Scale (IERS).
The original scale is comprised of four sub-dimensions; namely,
enhancing positive affect, perspective taking, soothing, and social modeling.
The study was carried out with 326 students from various departments of Medipol
University. Work on adapting the scale began with an attempt to find linguistic
equivalence. After ensuring this linguistically equivalence for the scale’s
original form, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis was launched to examine its
construct validity. The results of this confirmatory factor analysis revealed
that the four-factor original structure of the scale was also valid for the
Turkish sample and the goodness of fit indices of the scale was within
acceptable limits. The Cronbach-Alpha internal consistency coefficient was
found as .92 for the overall scale. The scale shows outstanding psychometric
characteristics.

Authors: Chen Siying , Dong Bingzhi , Gao Kuo , Li Tian 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
The removal efficiencies of geosmin/2-MIB by conventional treatment (flocculation, sedimentation and sand filtration) combined with advanced treatment (ozonation and granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration) in a pilot-scale experiment were investigated in a comprehensive manner. The objective of this study is to provide useful information for practical applications to solve the taste and odor problem during algal blooms in Lake Taihu. Results showed that the conventional treatment removed 38–59% and 36–64% of 2-MIB and geosmin, respectively, with ozone dosage from 0 to 1.0 mg/L. In particular, the increase in ozone concentration promoted the removal of 2-MIB/geosmin by sand filtration, meanwhile lowering the odorant removal efficiency by GAC filtration, with the key reason being the higher biomass produced in the sand filter through the strengthening effect of the ozonation. The organics with higher molecular weight (MW) showed the most significant decline in the pre-ozonation process with 1.0 mg/L ozone dosage, resulting in an enhanced removal efficiency of 2-MIB/geosmin by pre-ozonation. With ozone dosage of 1.0 mg/L, geosmin and 2-MIB in the treated water were 0.1 and 3.85 ng/L, respectively, which were below their odor threshold concentrations (OTCs) with the preliminary concentration of ∼200 ng/L of 2-MIB/geosmin.

Authors: Luan Yepeng , Liu Jinyi , Gao Jianjun , Wang Jinhua 
Published: November 2018

Background:
Cancer incidence and mortality have been increasing and cancer is still the
leading cause of death all over the world. Despite the enormous progress in cancer treatment, many
patients died of ineffective chemotherapy and drug resistance. Therefore, the design and development
of anti-cancer drugs with high efficiency and low toxicity is still one of the most challenging
tasks. Tricyclic heterocycles, such as phenothiazine, are always important sources of scaffolds for
anti-cancer drug discovery.

Methods:
In this work, ten new urea-containing derivatives of phenothiazine coupled with different
kinds of amine motifs at the endpoint through a three carbon long spacer were designed and synthesized.
The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated and confirmed by 1H NMR and
HRMS. All the synthesized compounds were tested for their antitumor activity in vitro against the
proliferation of PC-3 cells, and the compounds with best potency entered further cytotoxicity evaluations
against other 22 human tumor cell lines. Mechanism was also studied.

Results:
From all data, it showed that among all 10 target compounds, TTi-2 showed the best effect
in inhibiting the proliferation of 23 human cancer cell lines while TTi-2 without obvious inhibitory
effect on normal cell. Furthermore, our results also showed that TTi-2 could inhibit migration, invasion and
colony formation of MDA-MB-231 cells. Finally, TTi-2 can induce arrest of cell cycle at G0/G1 phase and
cell apoptosis by activating the caspase 3 activity.

Conclusion:
All these results suggested that TTi-2 might be used as a promising lead compound for anticancer
drug development.

Authors: Srivastava Urvashi , Saini Pinki , Singh Anchal 
Published: November 2018

Background:
Millets are small-seeded cereals having excellent nutritional quality. They are
comparable or superior to some commonly consumed cereals like wheat and rice. Millets are gluten-free,
have low Glycemic Index and are a good source of calcium, iron, potassium, zinc magnesium and B vitamins.
Natural fermentation of millets can improve their lower cooking quality, taste, low bioavailability
and palatability.

Objective:
This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of natural fermentation on antioxidant activity
of Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum).

Methods:
The present work has been done to standardize the natural fermentation process of pearl millet
using response surface methodology for enhanced iron content and antioxidant activity. Pearl millet was
treated with natural fermentation process at varying temperature (30-50°C), time (4-12 hrs) and pH (3-7).
The effect of these fermentation treatments were studied on total reducing sugar, iron content, antioxidant
activity (Total Phenolic content and DPPH), tannin content and antinutritional factors of pearl millet
using a second order central composite design.

Results:
The cofficient of determination, R2 values for Total reducing sugar, iron content, antioxidant
activity and tannin content was greater than 0.900. Statistical analysis showed that sugar, iron content,
antioxidant activity and tannin content varied significantly (p <0.05) with a change in pH, temperature
and time. pH was found to be the most important factor affecting the quality parameters of the pearl millet
during fermentation as it exerted a strong influence (p < 0.01) on all the dependent variables.

Conclusion:
Increase in total reducing sugar, iron content, antioxidant activity and decrease in tannin
content of pearl millet were observed along with a decrease in pH and temperature of fermentation. On
the basis of response surface and contour plots, the fermentation conditions of pearl millet were optimized
at a temperature of 40°C, pH 5 and time duration of 8 hours.
Emission Characteristics of Hydrogen and Carbon in Various Ambient Gases using Pulsed-CO2 Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
Authors: Khumaeni Ali , Budi Wahyu S. , Wardaya Asep Y. , Niki Hideaki , Kurihara Kazuyoshi , Kagawa Kiichiro 
Published: November 2018

Background:Hydrogen (H) and Carbon (C) are major elements that occur in various materials, including organic matter. The identification and analysis of C and H are necessary for several fields. LIBS is an excellent method for such analysis because it is rapid, and can be conducted remotely. The technique has been employed for the analysis of H in zircaloy metals. However, few studies on the emission characteristics of H and C in various gases have been undertaken because of the difficulty of identifying H and C using standard LIBS techniques. In this work, the emission characteristics of H and C were studied using pulsed CO2 LIBS. H and C elements were obtained from ethanol vapor. Various gas environments were employed, including Nitrogen (N2), Argon (Ar), and Helium (He) gases, in order to study the stability of the laser-induced plasma, the plasma lifetime, and the excitation mechanisms of H and C.Methods:The LIBS system used in this work consisted of a pulsed TEA CO2 laser (Shibuya SQ 2000), pulse generator, and optical multichannel analyzer. In this work, the laser with a wavelength of 10.6 µm, pulse duration of 200 ns, and pulse energy of 3 J, was used as the irradiation source. The laser energy used was 1.5 J. The laser was irradiated, and focused, using a 200 mm zinc selenide (ZnSe) lens, onto a metal surface in order to initiate and induce a luminous plasma. The sample used in this study was ethanol vapor, obtained from ethanol (99.5%, Merck). For this purpose, 10 mL ethanol was poured into a glass beaker, and this was placed into a closed chamber that could be evacuated by ambient gases including N2, Ar, and He gases.Results:Identification of H emission line has been successfully carried out using this present technique demonstrated in various gases including N2, Ar, and He. From the results, it was observed that in N2 gas, the Hα I 656.3 nm emission line was clearly expressed, with a wide, full-width halfmaximum, and quite a low emission intensity.Conclusion:The emission characteristics of H and C in laser-induced plasma, produced in various ambient gases, including N2, Ar, and He, were studied. The emission spectra of Hα and Hβ were expressed clearly, with high intensity and low background emission, in He, while they were broad and had high background emissions in N2 and Ar. Based on the time-resolved emissions, the Hα emission had a longer lifetime in Ar and He. It was assumed that the metastable atoms of Arand He were predominant in the excitation process of H and C. The characteristics of the H and C emissions in various gases are important in selecting a suitable ambient gas for the study of light atomic emission in the medical field, which mostly deals with organic materials containing H, C, and oxygen.
Biodiesel Synthesis Monitoring using Near Infrared Spectroscopy
Authors: Gelinski Estela Kamile , Hamerski Fabiane , Corazza Marcos Lúcio , Santos Alexandre Ferreira 
Published: November 2018

Objective:
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel considered as the main substitute for fossil fuels. Its industrial production is mainly made by the transesterification reaction. In most processes, information on the production of biodiesel is essentially done by off-line measurements.

Methods:
However, for the purpose of control, where online monitoring of biodiesel conversion is required, this is not a satisfactory approach. An alternative technique to the online quantification of conversion is the near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, which is fast and accurate. In this work, models for biodiesel reactions monitoring using NIR spectroscopy were developed based on the ester content during alkali-catalyzed transesterification reaction between soybean oil and ethanol. Gas chromatography with flame ionization detection was employed as the reference method for quantification. FT-NIR spectra were acquired with a transflectance probe. The models were developed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression with synthetic samples at room temperature simulating reaction composition for different ethanol to oil molar ratios and conversions. Model predictions were then validated online for reactions performed with ethanol to oil molar ratios of 6 and 9 at 55ºC. Standard errors of prediction of external data were equal to 3.12%, hence close to the experimental error of the reference technique (2.78%), showing that even without using data from a monitored reaction to perform calibration, proper on-line predictions were provided during transesterification runs.

Results:
Additionally, it is shown that PLS models and NIR spectra of few samples can be combined to accurately predict the glycerol contents of the medium, making the NIR spectroscopy a powerful tool for biodiesel production monitoring.
Imaging In Acute Bronchiolitis: Evaluation of The Current Practice In a Kuwaiti Governmental Hospital and Its Possible Impact on Hospitalization Period

Published: November 2018

Background and objectives:Guidelines for acute bronchiolitis recommend primarily supportive care, but unnecessary treatment measures remain well documented. This study was designed to assess the Al-Adan Hospital pediatricians` attitude towards imaging of inpatients with bronchiolitis aiming to evaluate its utilization and possible impact on patients` management and length of hospital stay.Subjects and methods:This study included 194 cases of acute bronchiolitis admitted to Al-Adan Hospital. Number of X-Rays done following admission and reasons stated in the files were recorded. Bronchiolitis severity was estimated from the data obtained.Results:Chest X-Rays were ordered in 52.1% of our inpatients with acute bronchiolitis. In nearly half of those cases, the reason for X-Ray request is a clinical severity factor, namely desaturations and apneas, and in rest of the cases, no specific reason for ordering X-Rays was documented. Significantly more patients who had two or more X-Rays were prescribed antibiotics and had statistically longer hospital stay. The number of X-Rays performed during admission was not a significant contributor to the need for PICU care, however, it was a significant factor affecting the length of hospital stay.Conclusion:The implementation of acute bronchiolitis guidelines regarding imaging in admitted cases with acute bronchiolitis is highly recommended in Al-Adan hospital. Clear documentation for the reasons behind ordering X-Rays is needed for those cases. A decrease in the X-Ray utilization and subsequent unnecessary antibiotic use can help in decreasing the costs and hazards of hospitalization for patients with acute bronchiolitis.
