Significance
Three billion people rely on traditional stoves and solid fuels. These energy use patterns exacerbate the global climate crisis (via increased carbon emissions) and forest degradation/deforestation (via daily fuelwood collection), and expose billions to toxic air pollution generated by dirty fuels. Widespread adoption of improved cookstoves (which use cleaner fuels or burn solid fuels more efficiently) may ease this “triple burden,” but recent research casts doubt on their potential, given low and slow diffusion. We challenge this pessimism based on a multiyear, three-phase field study comprising diagnosis, design, and experimental testing involving 1,000 rural Indian households. We show that demand for these improved energy technologies is high when supply chains are robust, technologies match local needs, and income and liquidity constraints are relaxed.

Published: May 2019

Significance
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by loss of expression of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), an RNA-binding protein that has been proposed to regulate local stimulus-dependent protein synthesis. However, how FMRP loss affects distributions of newly synthesized proteins remains unclear. Here, we report that local BDNF application promotes persistent accumulation of new PSD95 at stimulated synapses and dendrites, and that this accumulation is absent in FMRP-deficient mouse neurons. We further identify signaling pathways important for the protein synthesis abnormalities. These results provide direct evidence for deficits in local protein synthesis and accumulation in response to local stimulation in FXS, and support mTORC1-S6K1 pathway inhibition as a potential therapeutic approach for FXS.
Trade union mobilisation and democratic institutionalisation in the Republic of Niger
Authors: Elischer Sebastian 
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT
The article examines the effect of union mobilisation on democratisation in the Republic of Niger between 1990 and 2010. It focuses on the Union des syndicats des travailleurs du Niger (USTN), a legacy umbrella union for public sector workers. The effect of union mobilisation on democratisation is not clear-cut. In both 1990 and 1999 union mobilisation was a necessary condition for democratisation. However, union mobilisation inadvertently contributed to the delegitimisation of democratically elected leaders. Between 2000 and 2010 the USTN lost its former strength and the Nigerien government was in a better position to accommodate union demands. As a result, the trade union movement lost its ability to shape the political arena.
Sake cake (sake-kasu) ingestion increases branched-chain amino acids in the plasma, muscles, and brains of senescence-accelerated mice prone 8

Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT
To examine metabolic effects of sake cake ingestion, plasma and tissues were analyzed in senescence-accelerated mice prone 8 (SAMP8) fed a sake cake diet. As a result, branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) were found to be significantly higher in the plasma, gastrocnemius muscles and brains of the sake cake group than in the control group. Mice in the sake cake group showed stronger grip strength than the control group. High levels of circulating BCAA have been reported to be associated with pathological states, such as metabolic diseases, but the parameters of glucose and lipid metabolism were not affected between the two groups. Otherwise, pyridoxal was significantly higher and nicotinamide as well as 1-methylnicotinamide showed a tendency to be higher in the plasma of the sake cake group than in the control group. These findings indicate that intake of sake cake increases the levels of BCAA, vitamin B6, and vitamin B3.

A simple, real-time assay of horseradish peroxidase using biolayer interferometry
Authors: Kojima Takaaki , Nakane Ayako , Zhu Bo , Alfi Almasul , Nakano Hideo 
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) isoenzyme C1a is one of the most widely used enzymes for various analytical methods in bioscience research and medical fields. In these fields, real-time monitoring of HRP activity is highly desirable because the utility of HRP as a reporter enzyme would be expanded. In this study, we developed a simple assay system enabling real-time monitoring of HRP activity by using biolayer interferometry (BLI). The HRP activity was quantitatively detected on a BLI sensor chip by tracing a binding response of tyramide, a substrate of HRP, onto an immobilized protein. This system could be applied to analyses related to oxidase activity, as well as to the functional analysis of recombinant HRP.

This report gives the result of a bilateral comparison of resistance between the NPLI (India) and the BIPM carried out in 2012-2013. Two 1 Ω and two 10 kΩ travelling standards belonging to the BIPM were used. The comparison was carried out with an 'A-B-A' pattern of measurements. The standards were measured first at the BIPM for a period of about three months, then for a period of about two months at the NPLI, and finally again at the BIPM. The measurand was the 4 terminal dc resistance at low power. The BIPM was the pilot laboratory, and the comparison forms part of the ongoing BIPM key comparisons BIPM.EM-K13.a (for 1 Ω) and BIPM.EM-K13.b (for 10 kΩ).
The results from the NPLI and the BIPM were found to be in agreement, with a difference smaller than the relative expanded uncertainty (95 % confidence, k = 2) of 0.52 × 10-6 for 1 Ω and 0.28 × 10-6 for 10 kΩ.

Abstract
The electronic and optical properties of Si doped by Zn diffusion have been studied for a long time. Recently the defect structure and properties of n-Si (111) compensated by Zn during high-temperature diffusion annealing with subsequent quenching were investigated. The large-scale rod-like defects with μ-sizes have been observed. These defects were connected with Zn precipitates or/and dislocations. In the present paper we study the modification of defect structure and properties of Zn diffusion doped Si after swift heavy ion (SHI) irradiation. The SHI irradiation is known to lead to the formation of latent tracks (nanometer-sized disordered regions around ion trajectory) in many semiconductor and oxide crystals. It was established that the craters with a size of about 100nm surrounded by hillocks are fixed on the Si surface. The traces of dislocation group along Xe ion beam direction were revealed on Si surface. The small-angle boundaries and interstitial-type planar defects have appeared. After Xe ion irradiation with a fluence of 5×1012 cm−2 the number of radiating centres in dislocation core increasing so, that increasing the dislocation-related luminescence (DRL) from the lines D1 and D2. When the Xe ion irradiation fluence is increased to a value of 1×1014 cm−2 the DRL in the Si sample is almost extinguished.

Published: May 2019

Abstract
This study was conducted to propose proper indicators and to assess the sustainability of traditional vermicelli production in Minh Hong village. Sustainability of traditional vermicelli production in Minh Hong village was assessed based on 40 indicators belonging to 5 dimensions (production, product management and consumption, economy, society, and environment). All indicators were quantified on a scale of 0-1, in which 0 presenting low sustainability and 1 indicating high sustainability. The results showed high sustainability of economic dimension ranging from 0.87 to 1.00, implying economic efficiency of vermicelli production. However, social and environmental dimensions demonstrated medium sustainability. Some factors affecting on the sustainability of vermicelli production were the unsustainable connection between production and market, stability of input materials, consumption markets, limited training and labor safety, capital for production and business, and management of local authority. Solutions for ensuring the sustainability of traditional vermicelli production were also proposed and discussed.

Published: May 2019

AbstractSeveral studies confirmed that strong transformation of Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) water appears along the eastern ITF pathway from Maluku to Ceram to Banda Seas. This is, presumably, caused by energetic internal tidal activities that generate turbulent mixing. This study was aimed to analysis the turbulent mixing using Thorpe method from CTD data set acquired during the STOKAS 2015 cruise onboard R.V. Baruna Jaya 7 in the eastern ITF region. The study area was divided into four regions: Sulawesi Sea (SUL), Maluku Sea (MAL), Ceram Sea (CER), and Banda Sea (BAN). Thorpe method provides an approach to quantify the overturn of water mass using Thorpe displacement – validated using Galbraith and Kelley (GK) test – and to calculate the kinetic energy dissipation (ε and vertical diffusivity (Kρ). From diagram T-S, the transformation of ARLINDO waters was identified in the gateway. This is supported by a current pattern in which the ARLINDO water mass recirculated in SUL, then moved southward to MAL. The vertical diffusivity eddy (Kρ) varied in the order of 10−5to 10−2m2s−1and its kinetic energy dissipation (ε) varied in the order 10−11to 10−5W/Kg in all regions. This mixing was indicated to be driven by internal tide.

Abstract
Fishermen’s income is basically obtained from wages for their efforts. However, the portion is depends on the systems set out in the prevailing agreement based on consensus or mutual agreement. Comparison between the systems is intriguing to be studied. This study aims to determine the implementation of profit-sharing system and the wage system applied on gill net fisheries business in Trisik Beach of Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, to determine the break even point (BEP) that is applied as a limitation in determining the implementation of the profit-sharing system and to compare the wage system obtained by fishermen labors and ship owners with the existing fisherman wage in Yogyakarta area. The methods used in this study included case study, sampling, data collection and analysis. The results of this study indicate that the income received by fisherman labors is Rp2,284,000 per month and Rp10,420 per hour, fisherman captain income is Rp6,602,000 per month and Rp300,420 per day or Rp37,552 per hour. However, for employees in the company, they earn Rp1,144,812 per month and Rp38,160 per day and Rp4,770 per hour. The profit-sharing system in gill net monofilament business in Trisik Beach is more advantageous, compared to the wage system in the area.

Abstract
This paper describes the effects of planting distance and seedling sources on the performance growth of K. alvarezii cultured by using a long line method. The research was conducted in Bungin Permai Village, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. A factorially experimental design consisted of four seedling sources, namely tissue-cultured with nutrient enrichment (KJR-P), tissue-cultured without any nutrient enrichment (KJR-TP), conventional seedling with nutrient enrichment (KV-P), and conventional seedling without any nutrient enrichment (KV-TP). Three planting distances (10 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm) with three replicates. The parameters like biomass growth, daily growth rate, and pigment content, were paid in attention during the research. Results of this research reveal that the planting distance has significant effects on biomass growth, daily growth rate, and chlorophyll content. It proves that the 20 cm long of binding distance conduces the highest biomass growth, daily growth rate, and chlorophyll content in each source of seaweed K.alvarezii seedling. The Duncan test analysis for the 20 cm of planting distance indicates that the KJR-P seedling source yields the highest biomass growth (464 grams), daily growth rate (7.24%), and chlorophyll content (6.21 mg/g), and it is significantly different (p<0.05) with three other seedling sources.

Published: May 2019

Abstract
An autonomous CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) Argo float was deployed in the deepest Weber Basin of Banda Sea to investigate seasonal changes of the upper-layer seawater properties from the first year of CTD time-series data between August 2017 and July 2018. It is found that the float trajectory formed distinct elliptical-shapes, exhibiting a new picture of deep clockwise circulation of the float parking depth at 1000 m. On seasonal scale, large fluctuation of properties, mixed-layer depth, and thermocline thickness, were associated with seasonal alternating Ekman upwelling and downwelling dynamics. Upwelling “colder” event (July-September) was characterized by outcrops of 27°C isotherm, 34 psu isohaline and 22 kg/m3 isopycnal at sea surface and large lateral variation of salinity in the upper 50 m. In contrast, these properties lines deepen down to about 100 m depth during downwelling “warmer” event (December-February). Amplitude of seasonal temperature change in the upper-layer was about 3°C. The very fresh water episode in the upper-layer was found during the monsoon break in April.

Abstract
The use of squid attractors is expected to promote optimum sustainable utilization of fisheries resources. The exploitation of squid, the important exportable commodities, has been very intensive. Fisheries management on such resources should also promote business development based on sustainability and enrichment of the stocks. Squid attractors are appropriate technology that can make a fishing area as a gathering place for squid and fish. The study presented here was focused on the effectiveness of squid attractors as an alternative tool for enriching squid stocks in coastal areas. The squid attractors were tested in the field. The squid attractors were made of materials from harmonica wire, bamboo, used car tires, used drums and pipes. Such materials can be easily obtained by fishermen so that they can help themselves to make them promoting livelihood and improving the habitat. The construction of the attractors and presence of squid eggs were directly observed underwater. The fishing efficiency using the squid attractor found to be 60-70%, i.e. the proportion of number of squid attractors occupied by the squid. Deployment of squid attractors is a potential place for spawning habitat for the squids.

Published: May 2019

AbstractFish protein hydrolysates (FPH) which contains mixture of small protein or peptide and free amino acids may be good to be applied in children’s diet, preventing and combating malnutrition problem through readily absorbed essential amino acid. Malnutrition is still a big issue in East Asian countries including Indonesia. According to FAO, in 2005—2015, the percentage of children under five who experience stunting increased from 28.6% to 36.4%, while the percentage of stunting for Indonesian children was 37.2% (2013), 35.6% (2010), 36.8% (2007). Malnutrition in children can lead to serious problems such as abnormal brain development and susceptibility to various infectious diseases. The last report in 2016 revealed that stunted children have lower content of essential amino acid in their serum compared to the normal children. The aims of this study were to produce and analyze the amino acid profile of two fish hydrolysate protein (FPH) products fromSardinellausing local microbial protease isolated from hot marine water. The FPH-1 and FPH-2, both from soluble and solid part of hydrolyzed fish were dominated by amino acid lysine and leucine as well as glutamic acid. Both FPH products can potentially be used as ingredients for developing food for malnourished children.

Authors: Dien H A , Montolalu R I , Berhimpon S 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria were analyzed using the most probable (MPN) method, and histamine level was analyzed using spectrofluorometer. The best liquid smoke concentration was determined using a sensory hedonic test including smell, taste and texture. In addition, water content and pH were also analysed. Concentration of liquid smoke varied between 0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2%. The best concentration of liquid smoke was 1%. Fresh fillet dipped in 1% liquid smoke showed significantly decreased total plate count (TPC), from 4.1 x 103 CFU/g in fresh fillet to 7.4 x 102 CFU/g in fillet dipped for 20 minutes. Analysis of pathogenic bacteria showed a positive result in fresh fillet, and a negative result in fillets dipped in 1% liquid smoke, after 2 days of incubation at 30°C. Analysis of anti-pathogenic bacteria showed the positive results in fresh fillet, and negative result fillets dipped in 1% liquid smoke. Further analysis of histamine content also supports our finding, in which the level of histamine goes down from 19.55 to 18.56 when dipped in 1% liquid smoke solution for 20 minutes. The results indicated that dipping fillet in liquid smoke is a very effective treatment to prevent pathogenic bacteria and histamine forming bacteria.
Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) analysis to improve the effectiveness of vannamei (Litopenaeus vannamei) shrimp freezing machine performance at PT. XY, Situbondo-East Java

Published: May 2019

Abstract
PT. XY is a company engaged in the production of frozen vannamei shrimp which cannot be separated from the problems related to the proficiency of machine or equipment. Therefore, steps needed to be taken to resolve the problem. This study aimed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of production using Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) analysis. The steps taken were as follows: Availability calculation, Performance Efficiency calculation, and Quality Product calculation. A result from the 15 observations showed availability of 96%, performance of 65.84% and quality of 99%. The OEE results from these observations were 62.87%. The data illustrate the need for improvement until the OEE score reached 85% or more. The focus of improvement was aimed at improving performance. Things that must be done to overcome the low value of performance is the monitoring of employee performance at the glazing and packaging stages to reduce the inefficient work of the engine.
