Authors: Hartina Hartina , Kusuma Ratna , Susanto Dwi 
Published: April 2019

AbstrakPenyemaian laban dengan menggunakan metode ekstraksi biji belum banyak dilakukan dan perlu penambahan bahan pembenah tanah untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan semai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh ekstraksi biji dan kombinasi media tanam terhadap penyemaian laban (Vitex pinnata L. Kuntze). Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan 2 faktor perlakuan yaitu ekstraksi biji (A0= ekstraksi basah dan A1= ekstraksi kering) dan kombinasi media tanam (M0= Tanah, M1= tanah + pasir, M2= tanah + kompos, M3= tanah + cocopeat), masing-masing diulang sebanyak 3 kali. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji varian (ANOVA) dengan taraf kepercayaan 95%, uji lanjut menggunakan uji Duncan pada taraf kepercayaan 95%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pada perlakuan ekstraksi biji kering dapat meningkatkan rata-rata persentase berkecambah sebesar 65,83% dan kecepatan tumbuh biji sebesar 3,25%, namun belum dapat meningkatkan pertambahan tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, berat basah akhir, berat kering akhir dan laju pertumbuhan relatif. Kombinasi jenis media tanam tanah + kompos dapat meningkatkan persentase berkecambah sebesar 73,33% dan kecepatan tumbuh benih sebesar 3,40%. Penelitian ini sangat penting dalam penyiapan bibit siap tanam dalam budi daya V. pinnata.Abstract Seedling using seed extraction method has not been explored much and it needs to add soil enhancers to increase seedling growth. This research aims to determine the effect of seed extraction and combinations of planting media to seeding Laban (Vitex pinnata L. Kuntze). This research used a complete randomized design with two treatment factors namely seed extraction (A0= wet extraction, A1= dry extraction) and combinations of plant medium (M0= soil, M1= soil + sand, M2= soil + compost, M3= soil + cocopeat) were repeated three times each. The data were analyzed by using variance test (ANOVA) at 95% level of confidence and continued using Duncan test at 95% level of confidence. The result showed that the dry seed extract treatment increased the average of germination percentage by 65.83% and seed growth rate about 3.295% but could not increase plant height, leaf number, final wet weight, final dry weight dan relative growth rate. The combination of planting media + compost increased the germination percentage by 73.33% and the seed growth about 3.40%, but not yet able to increase plant height, leaf number, final wet weight, final dry weight and relative growth rate of laban plant. This research is very important in preparing ready-to-plant seedlings in V. pinnata cultivation.

Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND:
Most studies on adolescent screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) have examined substance use outcomes. However, it may also impact service use and comorbidity—an understudied topic. We address this gap by examining effects of SBIRT on health care use and comorbidities.

METHODS:
In a randomized trial sample, we assessed 3 SBIRT care modalities: (1) pediatrician-delivered, (2) behavioral clinician–delivered, and (3) usual. Medical comorbidity and health care use were compared between a brief-intervention group with access to SBIRT for behavioral health (combined pediatrician and behavioral clinician arms) and a group without (usual care) over 1 and 3 years.

RESULTS:
Among a sample of eligible adolescents (n = 1871), the SBIRT group had fewer psychiatry visits at 1 year (incidence rate ratio [iRR] = 0.76; P = .05) and 3 years (iRR = 0.65; P &lt; .05). Total outpatient visits did not differ in year 1. The SBIRT group was less likely to have mental health diagnoses (odds ratio [OR] = 0.69; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.48–1.01) or chronic conditions (OR = 0.66; 95% CI = 0.45–0.98) at 1 year compared with those in usual care. At 3 years, the SBIRT group had fewer total outpatient visits (iRR = 0.85; P &lt; .05) and was less likely to have substance use diagnoses (OR = 0.64; 95% CI = 0.45–0.91) and more likely to have substance use treatment visits (iRR = 2.04; P &lt; .01).

CONCLUSIONS:
Providing SBIRT in pediatric primary care may improve health care use and health, mental health, and substance use outcomes. We recommend further exploring the effects of SBIRT on these outcomes.

RESUMENEl estudio aborda los aspectos comercial y sociológico de la difusión de los clásicos en la España dieciochesca. Utilizaré dos tipos de fuentes: anuncios en la prensa sobre la puesta a la venta de ciertas obras significativas y listas de suscripción. El análisis de los precios y formas de comercialización supone un primer acercamiento al grado de difusión que pudieron alcanzar los autores clásicos en traducciones contemporáneas o en reediciones (normalmente revisadas, ampliadas o anotadas) de versiones del siglo XVI. Posteriormente estudiaré las listas de suscripción a cuatro obras vendidas por este sistema en la última década del siglo; los datos que esos listados proporcionan y la identificación de los nombres que figuran en ellos ayudarán a trazar un perfil sociocultural de sus compradores, permitiendo presentar una aproximación al público lector de las versiones españolas de autores clásicos en el último tercio del siglo XVIII.PALABRAS CLAVELibros vendidos por suscripción, autores grecolatinos, anuncios en la prensa, precios, perfil sociocultural de los lectores, España de finales del siglo XVIII. TITLEThe Price of Reading the Classics in the Eighteenth Century: Spanish Readers of Translations Sold by SubscriptionABSTRATCThe present study focuses on commercial and sociological features of the dissemination of classical texts in eighteenth-century Spain. It makes use of two types of source material: press advertisements detailing the sale of certain major works and subscription lists. The analysis of prices and retail methods in the press enables an initial calculation of purchase statistics for Spanish buyers achieved by new translations or re-editions(usually revised, amplified or annotated) of translations carried out in the sixteenth century. There follows an examination of subscription lists of four works sold by this method in the final decade of the eighteenth century. The data provided by such lists and the identification of those whose names they include permit a social and cultural profile of their purchasers to be constructed, providing a picture of the reading public for Spanish translations of classical authors in the final third of the eighteenth century.KEY WORDSBooks sold by subscription, Greek and Roman authors, press advertisements, prices, social and cultural profile of readership, late eighteenth-century Spain.
Aquí no viaja un equipo, ¡viaja todo un país!

El fútbol como arena simbólica de la sociedad nos permite observar dimensiones emocionales de las pasiones humanas que no suelen expresarse en otros ámbitos de la cotidianidad. De ahí el valor por rastrear esos sucesos que parecen llanamente cotidianos pero que revelan perspectivas sociales y políticas de una comunidad, para este caso, la colectividad que dispone la sociedad colombiana y sus avatares.
En el presente texto parto de la exitosa actuación del seleccionado nacional colombiano en el Mundial de fútbol Brasil 2014, gesta deportiva en la cual se observaron fuertes expresiones del nacionalismo colombiano, como pocas veces sucede en un país carente de referentes de nacionalidad consolidados. Pretendo revelar a través de notas etnográficas y un espectáculo deportivo como el campeonato Mundial de fútbol de la FIFA, el sentimiento nacional que manera exacerbada despertó el seleccionado colombiano de fútbol entre su comunidad nacional. Emociones y pasiones deportivas que desde el sentido de pertenencia a un grupo social y en una suerte de conjuro entre la política, mercado y medios de comunicación, lograron arrebatar el aliento a muchos conciudadanos y conjugarlos bajo una sola camiseta.
Effect of Gear-Pump Shear Rate on Oil/Water Dispersion
Authors: Zhang Mo , Dabirian Ramin , Mohan Ram , Shoham Ovadia , Wang Shoubo 
Published: April 2019

Summary
Production equipment, such as pumps and chokes, cause shear in oil/water-mixture flow and form smaller droplets in the system, which might lead to operational and separation problems. Our objective in this paper is to provide new data on droplet sizes under different shear conditions in oil/water flow and compare these data with model predictions.
New experimental data on droplet-size distribution are acquired for a gear pump (configured in a closed loop) with an inline camera, using the bead-sizing tool. The acquired data capture the effects of the dispersed-phase volumetric fraction and shear intensity. Two prediction models for a centrifugal pump, the Pereyra (2011) and Kouba (2014) models, are modified to enable droplet-size-distribution predictions for a gear pump. These models use the log-normal-distribution and Rosin-Rammler-distribution methods, which have been found to match the acquired data relatively well.
The results demonstrate that mean droplets tend to decrease in diameter when the shear intensity increases. Moreover, the higher the dispersed-phase volumetric fraction is, the larger the resulting droplets will be. Comparisons between the acquired data and the proposed droplet-size-distribution prediction, which uses the modified dmax model, are very good for both Rosin-Rammler and log-normal distributions, with normalized root-mean-square deviation (NRMSD) of less than 7%.

Abstract
Objective: The burden of cognitive impairment in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing peritoneal dialysis received more attention, which associated with hospitalization, mortality and quality of life. We aimed to assess the topological alterations of brain white matter structural network in ESRD and the correlation between network metrics with Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores and clinical data.
Methods: The study included 25 ESRD patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT group), 25 patients without SHPT (Non-SHPT group) and 25 healthy controls (HC group) of comparable age and sex. Cognitive function was assessed using Montreal Cognitive Assessment. WM structural network constructed by diffusion tensor imaging and deterministic tractography method, and then used graph theoretical approaches to investigate alterations in the global and regional properties of the WM network in these participants.
Results: ESRD patients showed cognitive impairment compared to HC and SHPT patients was lower cognitive scores than Non-SHPT patients. The global topological organization and local efficiency of WM network was significantly disrupted in SHPT but not in Non-SHPT patients, as compared with HC group. Moreover, lower regional efficiency was found in ESRD patients mainly distributed in the frontal and parietal cortices. In addition, association was found between iPTH, shortest path length and cognitive impairment, and iPTH level was negatively correlated with small-worldness by two indexes normalized clustering coefficient and normalized shortest path length.
Conclusion: The present study indicated that brain structural connectome in ESRD patients with high iPTH level was disrupted as cognitive impairment and it has the potential connectome-based biomarkers for early detection.
The analysis of mirror pattern bands synthesized in patients with neurological disorder during Oligoclonal immunoglobulin isoelectric focusing electrophoresis
Authors: Wang Jinling , Wang Pei-Chang 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background

The analysis of oligoclonal band (OCB) of cerebrospinal fluid is of vital importance for the clinical diagnosis and differential diagnosis of neurological disease. However, there still exists limited knowledge about the interpretation for the OCB patterns especially the mirror patterns for the neurological disorder during the clinal course. In this study, we thoroughly analyzed the 12 patients of mirror pattern results with laboratory and clinical information.

Methods

specimens were obtained from patients who had CSF and serum analyzed by isoelectric focusing (IEF) in the Special Examination Laboratory of XuanWu Hospital over a 4-year period. 12 patients with mirror patterns were screened out by isoelectric focusing electrophoresis from 5892 patients and then immunofixation electrophoresis were performed on the 12 patients.

Results

All three types of mirror patterns are closely connected with M protein from peripheral serum. However,not all patients with the mirror patterns present positive M protein. 7 out of 12 patients (58.3%) patients were diagnosed as blood system-related diseases. None of the 12 patients were diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

Conclusions

Great emphasis should be taken on the mirror pattern during the isoelectric focusing electrophoresis. The mirror pattern combined with the result of M protein will contributes to the differential diagnosis of neurological disorder.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Nematicidal activity at different concentrations of fosthiazate against soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines) was evaluated in this paper. The mortality rates of second-stage juvenile (J2) reached 13.43, 48.39, 66.82, 79.77, and 86.35% at 12 hr after exposure to 2.18, 3.44, 5.45, 8.61, and 13.62 mg/l of fosthiazate, respectively, whereas cumulative hatching rates totaled 58.24, 53.88, 42.54, 24.11, and 13.69% at 18 days after exposure to concentrations. J2s dead by exposure to fosthiazate exhibited shrunk and twisted body shape, whose length of nematode body, stylet, and esophageal glands to head were significantly shorter than that of the control (p < 0.05). A pot test was also performed to count the numbers of cysts on soybean roots, showing reduction of 43.64–97.94% due to application of fosthiazate at 5.45, 13.62, 34.04, and 85.10 mg/l concentrations. This study demonstrated that fosthiazate exhibits increasing of J2 mortality, and reducing egg hatching and reproduction rates, which providing evidence to support the use fosthiazate in further studies against H. glycines.
High-temperature structural change and microtexture formation of sillimanite and its phase relation with mullite
Authors: Igami Yohei , Ohi Shugo , Kogiso Tetsu , Furukawa Noboru , Miyake Akira 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations of heat-treated sillimanite at various pressures were conducted to clarify the detailed phase relation between sillimanite and mullite. Under TEM, heat-treated sillimanite frequently showed anti-phase boundary (APB)-like textures with a displacement vector of ½[001]sil. Additional scanning TEM energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis of regions with APB-like texture showed that they were clearly enriched in Al and accompanied by very fine, Si-rich glass inclusions, which indicates that the APB-like textures are composed of fine mullite. Moreover, synchrotron XRD patterns of these samples clearly showed double peaks of newly formed mullite and remnant sillimanite, indicating that the compositional transformation from sillimanite to mullite and glass is discontinuous. We separately determined the cell parameters of the sillimanite and mullite from the XRD pattern and found that the b axial length of the sillimanite increased with the treatment temperature, reflecting disordering of tetrahedral Al and Si in the sillimanite. In contrast, the positions of the deconvoluted mullite peaks indicated that the a axial length of mullite decreased as experimental pressure increased, owing to enrichment of the Si component. By projecting the cell parameters onto the a–b axial plane, the detailed changes in the crystallographic state of the sillimanite and mullite could be easily and comprehensively identified. On the basis of our results, we propose a new P-T diagram for the Al2SiO5 system that shows the transformation boundary between sillimanite and mullite + SiO2-rich melt and the contour of the Al/Si order parameter of sillimanite.

Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to assess the water crisis in Nepal by conducting a series of case studies in rural watersheds in the mid-hills. This was achieved through the applied qualitative method, especially combinations of desk study/structured searches, consultation, and field observation. The ground survey revealed that most of the rural communities in the mid-hills have an unreliable water supply. According to the local stakeholders, 20–25% of water resources have dried up as compared to 20 years ago. Drying up of water resources disproportionately affects women and girls in rural areas as women are responsible for household chores, including fetching drinking water. The findings also revealed that low-income households bear a disproportionate coping burden as compared to elite groups, as they often engage in coping strategies such as collecting water from distant water sources, which is labor- and time-intensive, and also yields smaller quantities of water. Assuming that unreliable water supplies will continue to exist in rural areas of the mid-hills for the foreseeable future, there is a critical need to consider which, if any, coping strategies will be most effective in ensuring that poor households will have access to safe and sufficient water supply.

BackgroundVenoms of two cobras, four vipers, a standard antibiotic and an antimycotic, were evaluated comparatively, as antimicrobials.Methods:Six venom concentrations and three of the standard antibiotic and the antimycotic were run in micro-dilution and diffusion plates against the microorganisms.RESULTS:Echis pyramidum, Echis coloratus andCerastes cerastes gasperettiihighest venom concentrations gave significant growth inhibition zones (GIZ) with respect to a negative control, exceptBitis arietans, whose concentrations were significant. The cobraWalterinnesia aegyptiahad significant venom concentrations more thanNaja haje arabica. TheStaphylococcus aureusMethicillin Resistant (MRSA) bacterium was the most susceptible, with a highly (P < 0.001) significant GIZ mean difference followed by the Gram positiveStaphylococcus aureus, (P < 0.001),Escherichia coli(P < 0.001),Enterococcus faecalis(P < 0.001) andPseudomonas aeruginosawhich, had the least significance (P < 0.05). The fungusCandida albicanswas resistant to both viper and cobra venoms (P > 0.05). The antibiotic Vancomycin was more effective than snake venoms though, they were more efficient in inhibiting growth of the resistantPseudomonas aeruginosa. This antibiotic was also inactive against the fungus, whilst its specific antifungal Fungizone was highly efficient with no antibacterial activity.Conclusions:These findings showed that snake venoms had antibacterial activity comparable to antibiotics, with a directly proportional relationship of venom concentration and GIZ, though, they were more efficient in combatting resistant types of bacteria. Both venoms and the standard antibiotic, showed no antifungal benefits.
