Authors: Juwarno Juwarno , Samiyarsih Siti 
Published: June 2017

Current study was aimed to explore both anatomical and molecular responses of 3 soy bean cultivars (Mahameru, Slamet and Detam) which was given salinity stress. Data of the Mahameru cultivar showed that the widestÂ stomataÂ on upper epiderm 11.38 Âµm, the thickest upper epiderm was 10.71Âµm, butÂ the thickest of lower epiderm was only 9.98 Âµm, the highest density of stomata on lower epiderm was 13.66 per mm2 leaf area, and the thickest mesophyll was 110.37 Âµm. Molecular marker applying OPA-2 primer with RAPD technique showed the Detam and Slamet cultivars were having different bands one to each other even with the Mahameru cultivar. While the application of OPA-4 primer with the same technique showed there were no genetically different on Mahameru cultivar between control and Â treatment 80 mM NaCl. The OPA-8 primer showed that the control block of Slamet cultivar Â was different from either control block of others as well as treatment block of 80 mM NaCl. The use of OPA-18 primer showed that the Slamet cultivar of the control block Â and so its 80 mM NaCl block was different from Detam and Mahameru, where the 500th base of Slamet cultivar did not have DNA band.

Erythrina variegata is a herbal plant commonly used in Indonesia traditional medicine for treatment malaria disease.Â Acute toxicity test results showed that the methanol extract of E. variegata leaves categorized as practically nontoxic. In this study, we investigated sub chronic toxicity of the extract on male Wistar rats and the procedure based on guidelines of OECD 408 (1998) and EPA OPPTS 870.3100 (1998) for 90 constitutive days. Â The rats are classified into four dose groups were 0 (control), 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg body weight with each group consist of five test animals.Â The results do not show toxic signs either behavior or body weight changed. Hematological analysis and clinical blood chemistry revealed slightly changes but were within the normal limits, except for BUN and SGPT values. Histopathological examination showed an increased damage of liver and kidney cells in form hydropic degeneration, fatty degeneration, as well as necrosis along with increased of extract doses that significantly different with control (p<0.05). However, the damage is reversible and was assumed had not has relations with the treatment. Thus, orally administration of E. variegata extract by dosage 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg BW did not cause subchronic toxicity on male Wistar rats.Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

* Axillary artery injury is an uncommon but potentially devastating injury.* Early diagnosis, prompt exposure, and careful control of bleeding are critical to achieving a positive outcome.* Early vascular surgical intervention may mitigate the potential for mortality caused by exsanguination or loss of limb from ischemia.* Prevention, recognition, and management of common postoperative complications such as myocardial infarction, acute renal failure, compartment syndrome, and thrombosis are important to optimizing outcomes.* Patients who sustain an axillary artery injury should be counseled on the high rate of concurrent brachial plexus injury.
Free vibration analysis of thin-walled curved box girder considering shear lag deformation
Authors: Cai Heng , Lu Hailin , Yang Hongyin 
Published: June 2017

In order to investigate dynamic shear lag effect, based on energy variation method and Hamilton principle, vibration governed differential equations of curved box girder are deduced by assuming different shear lag warping displacement modes, the explicit solution to bending frequency of curved box girder is worked out with Galerkin method. The results of a numerical example show that shear lag warping displacement functions have a limit influence on vibration frequency; second degree parabola or catenary are the appropriate shear lag warping displacement function of box girder; Compared the theoretical calculating results with numerical results of ANSYS, the error between them is only 0.57 %, they agree very well with each other, which demonstrates the correctness and reliability of theoretical deduction.

Analisis Fenomenologi Terhadap Makna dan Realita

Published: June 2017

<p>Phenomenology is precisely this deepening of self consciousness, this restless search for what lies back of the objects in which we ordinarily and scientifically lose our <em>attention</em>, or as we now call it our <em>intention</em>. Phenomenology is not merely the theory that this is so, but the putting it into practice, the urge to explore its interminable vistas. As a discipline, it is distinct from but related to other keys in philosophy: such as ontology, epistemology, logics, and ethics. The discipline of phenomenology is defined by its domain of study, its methods, and its main results. This paper globally makes a try at exploring the history and varieties of phenomenology. Phenomenology has been practiced in various guises for centuries, but it came into its down in the early 20<sup>th</sup> century in the works of Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty and others. Phenomenological issues of intentionality, consciousness, and first-person perspective have been prominent in recent philosophy of mind.</p><p>Fenomenologi lebih tepatnya ialah pendalaman kesadaran-diri, pencarian yang gelisah ini terhadap sesuatu di balik objek-objek yang di dalamnya kita --biasanya dan secara ilmiah-- mengalahkan <em>perhatian</em> kita, atau seperti yang kita sekarang menyebutnya <em>tujuan</em>. Fenomenologi bukan hanya teori bahwa ini adalah begitu, tapi menempatkan dalam praktiknya, dorongan untuk mengeksplorasi pandangan-pandangan yang tak berkesudahan. Sebagai satu disiplin, ia berbeda dari dan terkait dengan kunci-kunci lain dalam filsafat: seperti ontologi, epistemologi, logika, dan etika. Tulisan ini secara umum akan mencoba mengeksplorasi sejarah dan varietas fenomenologi. Fenomenologi telah berurat-akar selama berabad-abad, namun berbunga pada karya-karya Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty dan lain-lain. Isu-isu fenomenologis mengenai intensionalitas, kesadaran, dan perspektif orang-pertama cukup menyolok pada filsafat pikiran akhir-akhir ini.</p>
Predicting the Distribution and Abundance of Emperor Fishes (Lethrinus spp.) in the Arabian Sea Using Two-Stage Generalized Additive Models and a Geographic Information System
Authors: Al-Kharusi Lubnah H. 
Published: June 2017

The distribution and abundance of emperor fishes (Lethrinidae) along the Arabian Sea coast of Oman were analysed from commercial catch-per-unit-effort data for the periods 1996–2004 and 2005, respectively. Two-stage generalized additive models (GAM) were used to detect trends in abundance relative to environmental variables. The GAM that included month (positive in August and October), sea surface temperature (SST; positive at 25–27˚C) and longitude (positive between 57°50’ E–58°50’ E) explained the highly variable distribution and abundance patterns best. ArcGIS-9 was used as an auxiliary to visualize seasonal trends that could not be seen from the statistical GAM analysis. From the spatial grids, it appeared that abundance increased with warmer SST encountered in August/September to January but was lower during the SW monsoon in June–August when the SST decreased below 25°C. The results emanating from the analysis of the 2005 data confirmed those from the original 1996–2004 data, suggesting that predictions from the original models were relatively robust. The synthesis of methods used in this study is a major step towards developing statistically robust and spatially explicit methods for predicting fisheries performance.

Published: June 2017

Field experiments were conducted on tomato crops over a two year period to evaluate the efficacy of six insecticides, viz., triazophos, phosphamidon, dimethoate, buprofezin and Aflix (endosulfan + dimethoate) each at 0.05% and Repelin (plant insecticide) at 1% concentration along With a cultural treatment by covering the plants with Agril (a polyester material ) for the control of whitefly, Bemisia tabaci. The insecticides were applied eight times at weekly interval immediately after transplantation. The whitefly eggs, nymphal population counts and the per cent incidence of tomato leaf curl virus (TLCV) were recorded every week for eight weeks in all the treatments including untreated control. The incidence of whitefly was more severe in the second year (i.e, 1992-93) as compared to the previous season. Among the various treatments, the Agril cover, a newly introduced cultural practice, recorded the least incidence of whitefly and of TLCV. The average of counts of eggs were 0.0 and 5.47 and of nymphs 0.54 and 0.58 per 10 leaflets and TLCV were 4.32% and 4.76% in Agril cover treatment during the first and second year, respectively. Among the insecticides tested only Aflix recorded less incidence of the pest, being 3.46 and 30.4 eggs per 10 leaflets and 0.94 and 5.34 nymphs per 10 leaflets during the two years of study, respectively. The other treatments were less effective in reducing pest and disease incidence. The crop under Agril-cover recorded the maximum yield of 34.57 and 26.15 t/ha of tomatoes as compared to 16.48 and 10.82 t/ha in control during the first and second year, respectively.

Published: June 2017

An experiment was carried out to study the effects of four pollination techniques; Bumblebees (Bombus terrerstris L.), plant growth bioregulator (PGB) (Parachlorophenoxy acetic acid), hand vibration, and control (natural pollination) on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) production in greenhouses. Bumblebees showed no problem in visiting flowers at a temperature range of 17-42°C during the day and 2-14°C at night. Bumblebee pollinated plants produced a yield per plant which was significantly higher than plants treated with PGB, vibration and the control, respectively. Fruit set of tomato flowers over 10 clusters was 99.1, 96.7, 76.7, and 65.7% for bumblebee treatment, PGB application, vibration and the control, respectively. In the bumblebee pollinated flowers, the quality of fruits was superior. The fruits were hard, with more seeds, and had a high specific gravity and better appearance. The average fruit weight was 100.3, 80.5, 84.1, and 70.6 g for the bumblebee, PGB, vibration and the control, respectively. The PGB treatment produced bigger sized but puffy fruits (108.4 ml). While fruit size in the vibration treatment was the highest (126.8 ml), followed by the bumblebee and the control which were 99.3 and 98.5 ml, respectively. Fruit specific gravity in the bumblebee treatment was significantly higher than other treatments, with no significant differences between the PGB and the vibration treatments. The least dense fruits were in the control treatment. Regarding the firmness of fruits, the bumblebee treatment gave the hardest fruits, while the PGB and the vibration treatments were intermediate and the control was the least. Average seed number per fruit was 177.0, 86.5, 61.8, and 89.8 for bumblebee, vibration, PGB and the control, respectively.

Retrato sem parede: o Bom Crioulo, de Adolfo Caminha
Authors: Dalcastagnè Regina 
Published: June 2017

O artigo pretende discutir a importância da releitura do romance Bom Crioulo, de Adolfo Caminha, no contexto atual. Lançado em 1895, para escândalo da sociedade da época, ele continua, de algum modo, sendo uma perturbação no cenário cultural brasileiro. Reivindicado como o primeiro romance nacional a trazer a público um protagonista gay, Bom Crioulo chama atenção ainda para uma série de outras ausências em nossa literatura — não apenas a do século XIX, mas também a de hoje, que, de um modo geral, não dá guarida para personagens como Amaro.
