Authors: Alade Gideon O. , Moody Jones O. , Awotona Olanrewaju R. , Adesanya Saburi A. , Lai Daowan , Proksch Peter 
Published: January 2018

AbstractAim: To isolate the spermicidal constituents of Sacoglottis gabonensis. Materials and methods: The ethanolic extract with partitioned fractions of Sacoglottis gabonensis stem bark were subjected to sperm immobilization assay. The most active EtOAc fraction was further purifi ed by column and Semi-Preparative High Performance Liquid Chromatography to give compounds which were characterized by spectroscopic methods (UV, LC/MS, and NMR). The compound(s) was also tested for sperm immobilization activity. Results: The ethanolic extract showed 100% signifi cant (p < 0.05) sperm immobilization activity at a concentration of 30 mg/mL at 20 s compared to both negative and positive controls. The most active ethyl acetate fraction yielded methyl 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzoate, eriodictyol and bergenin. Bergenin had 100% sperm immobilization activity at 20 mg/mL in 60 s which was signifi cant (p < 0.05) also when compared to the positive and negative control while methyl 3,5-dihydroxy- 4-methoxybenzoate, eriodictyol were not active. Conclusion: The active spermicidal constituent in Sacoglottis gabonensis stem bark extract is bergenin. However, methyl 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzoate and eriodictyol showed no activity. This plant is known for its aphrodisiac action; hence, caution may have to be exercised in its use because of its spermicidal eff ect.
Caskets Inside Out. Revisiting the Classification of ‘Siculo-Arabic’ Ivories
Authors: Armando Silvia 
Published: January 2018

AbstractThe paper reconsiders previous attempts to classify ‘Siculo-Arabic’ ivories in order to understand if and how such taxonomies correspond to concrete modes of production or workshops. The study of technical details enables the definition of processes of making. Material and visual aspects are probed through a systematic comparison based on the close study of many artefacts, thereby identifying consistent clusters that may correspond to one or more related workshop, as well as ruling out examples which cannot be directly associated with the main groups. Moreover, the traditional attribution to Southern Italy is reconsidered for some objects. The recovery of reused paper documents written in Arabic beneath the original linings of some of the caskets opens new paths of research, calling for future interdisciplinary cooperation, which may finally be able to answer longstanding questions about when and where these objects were originally made.
“Mudéjar”, Islamic Influence or Memory of the Past? Some Considerations on the Wooden Painted Ceiling of the Palazzo Chiaromonte-Steri in Palermo
Authors: Buttà Licia 
Published: January 2018

AbstractThe wooden painted ceiling of the Sala Magna of the Palazzo Chiaromonte-Steri in Palermo is an outstanding monument for its structure as well as for its articulated visual programme. In the present study, I aim to analyze three specially debated aspects of it. Firstly, I will question the appropriateness of using the Spanish term “Mudéjar” for describing its structure and decoration. Secondly, I will highlight existing analogies between Norman ceilings in Sicily and the one of the Sala Magna in Palermo. Finally, I will explore the political meaning of the masterpiece by following the clues of some inscriptions.

Moral Education and the Curriculum: the Ghanaian Experience
Authors: Danso Seth Asare 
Published: January 2018

Moral Education is provided by major institutions within the civil society. The social institutions include the family, religious bodies, the mass media and the school. This paper examined the nature of Moral Education that has been provided in the Ghanaian basic schools during the pre-colonial period (1820 up to 1850), the colonial period (1851-1956) and the post-colonial period (1957-2017). A theoretical framework was provided for the study based on three approaches to moral education, namely: Indoctrinative approach, Romanticist approach and Cognitive-Structural approach. A content analysis of educational policy documents and interviews were used for the collection of data. The findings of the research revealed that one of the colonial policies that promoted Moral Education in Ghana was the teaching of morality in public schools based on Christianity, using the Indoctrinative approach. However, this religious approach to morality changed to secular approach during the post-colonial period in Ghana, due to the pluralistic nature of the Ghanaian society. This led to the introduction of “Moral Teaching”, “Civics” and later “Citizenship Education”. The study welcomed the current policy of separating Religious Education from Moral Education by introducing the teaching of “Civic and Moral Education” and “Religious Studies” at the Colleges of Education, as proposed by the National Council for Tertiary Education. It finally recommended that the Department of Arts Education of the University of Cape Coast began to train teachers who will teach these two courses at the Colleges of Education level. This will equip the teacher trainees with the pedagogical knowledge and skills required for the effective implementation of this new Moral Education programme in Ghanaian basic schools.
Digital Preservation of Photojournalism Case Study of the Kompas Daily
Authors: Ratnawati Sintha , Rahmawati Yuli 
Published: January 2018

Newspapers present information to the public on various topics, such as politics, economics, culture, and sports. Through its preaching, newspapers report a number of valuable events as historical records. Photos, complementing the news, come with a visual approach. Based on the rules of journalism, the photo meets the qualification as a reference source. Kompas Daily, published since June 28, 1965, immortalize various milestones in the work of photographs, stored in printed format, positive and negative, and digitized. Digitization becomes the preferred way to perpetuate the value contained in the printed photo work. Digitization is done for positive and negative photos taking into account the weight of journalism and the condition of the material. This activity is handled by Kompas Information Center through the process of media transfer, indexing, and synchronization. Two important issues to ensure optimization of the digitization result are metadata standardization and an integrated retrieval system. Metadata standardization is formulated based on guidelines developed specifically for the publishing industry, the IIM standard, combined with subject category modifications known as IPTC NewsCodes. Integrated retrieval systems are built to include the completeness of the source information of the publication as enrichment. This system connects to the full data of photo creation, storage procedure, and the mechanism of retrieval. The Information Lifecycle concept offers one more link, the utilization of digitization results to create new information.

Nowadays, people does not need to go to the library for searching knowledge or information. World does change. We come to the new generation that so called as digital native generation. Information can be search through the gadgets on hands which connected to the internet. Then comes the question. Is the library still important? What the library should do? It is no wonder that most of the libraries have decreasing number of visitors as well as decreasing number of books that out of the shells. This paper describes the characteristics of the digital native, their habit in learning and reading books. It also summarized some discussions among the head of the three university libraries in Surabaya, i.e, Intitut Teknologi Sepuluh (ITS) Nopember Surabaya, Petra Christian University (PCU), Surabaya Universities (Ubaya). The results of the discussion shows, that library has to be changed so that they can accommodate the needs of the digital native. It is not only the place for borrowing books, but also the place for doing discussion, watching videos and listening to audios, and of course the online materials must be provided to encounter the decreasing visitors.
The Use of Social Media Youtube as Audio -Visual Record Document Management: Exploratory Study of Application The Guidelines Behavior Broadcasting, Standard of Broadcast Programs (P3 and SPS) ANTV on Pesbukers Television Program

Published: January 2018

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah media sosial youtube menjadi situs pilihan penyelenggara penyiaran khususnya televisi sebagai tempat pengelolaan rekaman dokumen audio visual yang telah tayang bagi publik. Setiap program yang ditayangkan oleh televisi harus mengikuti pedoman yang tidak boleh dilanggar, dimana kegiatan penayangan penyiaran berada dibawah lembaga yang berwenang terhadap isi siaran yakni Komisi Penyiaran Indonesia. Subyek dalam penelitian ini adalah televisi ANTV dengan program Pesbukersnya. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif deskriptif, dengan menggunakan sampling non probability dan teknik sampling purposive. Langkah yang pertama dilakukan adalah menonton program Pesbukers ANTV. Kedua melakukan analisa penerapan pedoman perilaku penyiaran dan standar program siaran pada program Pesbukers. Ketiga melakukan pengumpulan data dengan melakukan wawancara dengan tim pesbukers ANTV mengenai penggunaan pedoman P3 dan SPS dalam produksi dan pengelolaan rekaman dokumen. Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa P3 dan SPS merupakan satu kesatuan yang tidak dapat dipisahkan dan menjadi acuan bagi lembaga penyiaran sebagai dasar, tujuan dan arah dalam setiap kegiatan siaran televisi. Faktor kreativitas terkadang menjadi unsur terjadinya pelanggaran terhadap P3 dan SPS sehingga dalam setiap episode, tim Pesbukers selalu berusaha untuk tidak keluar dari batasan skenario yang telah disiapkan oleh tim kreatif untuk seluruh pemain dan aktor yang tampil. Sementara ANTV juga memanfaatkan media sosial youtube sebagai wadah rekaman dokumen Pesbukers yang telah tayang. Perlunya dilakukan pemotongan tayangan Pesbukers di media sosial youtube yang dinilai melanggar, sehingga publik tetap mendapatkan tontonan program televisi yang baik dan mendidik.
‘Top-down’ planning for scalable sustainable sanitation in high-density low-income urban areas: is it more appropriate than ‘bottom-up’ planning?
Authors: Mara Duncan 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
We argue that, if the sanitation target of the Sustainable Development Goals (universal access to ‘safely-managed’ sanitation by 2030) is to have any chance of success, then a community-sensitive top-down planning approach has to be adopted for sanitation provision in high-density low-income urban areas in developing countries, as ‘bottom-up’ planning is much more time-consuming and not yet successfully proven at scale. In high-density low-income urban areas, there is only a limited choice for safely-managed sanitation: (i) simplified/condominial sewerage (which becomes cheaper than on-site sanitation systems at the relatively low population densities of 160–200 people per ha), (ii) low-cost combined sewerage (if it is cheaper than separate simplified sewerage and stormwater drainage), (iii) community-managed sanitation blocks, and (iv) container-based sanitation (the last two of which are suitable, especially in slums, when neither simplified sewerage nor low-cost combined sewerage is affordable or technically feasible). These four sustainable sanitation options are as scalable in developing countries as conventional sewerage has been in industrialized countries.
PRÁTICAS DE RESISTÊNCIA DE TERRA E MAR: PARENTESCO E MODOS DE EXISTIR NA VILA DO ESTEVÃO, CEARÁ, BRASIL / LAND AND SEA RESISTANCE PRACTICES: KINSHIP AND MODES OF EXISTENCE IN VILA DO ESTEVÃO, CEARÁ, BRASIL
Authors: Nobre Ana Luísa 
Published: January 2018

Os conflitos territoriais de terra e mar e as constantes investidas fundiárias nos territórios costeiros são uma realidade imediata para os povos do mar. Nesse contexto, destacamse projetos privados e políticas públicas para o turismo; para novas fontes energéticas, como as eólicas; e para novos campos produtivos, como a criação de camarão e o prevalecimento das tecnologias industriais de pesca sobre as artesanais. A experiência da Vila do Estevão – uma “comunidade” de pescadores localizada na praia de Canoa Quebrada, município de Aracati, litoral leste do estado do Ceará – apresentada neste artigo busca contribuições para o campo de questões sobre as práticas de resistência das chamadas comunidades tradicionais, sobre a invenção do cotidiano e a construção de respostas locais. O registro dessa experiência versa em torno de dois temas centrais que discutem formas situacionais de práticas e relações nativas: modos locais de fazer parentesco e modos de existir. ABSTRACTLand and sea territorial conflicts and constant speculative approaches on coastal territories are an immediate reality for the ‘sea people’. In this context, private projects and public policies for touristic purposes, as well as projects for alternative energy sources such as wind farms, and for new production fields such as shrimp farms and the prevailing industrial fishing technology over artisanal fisheries have significant importance. The experience of Vila do Estevão – a fishermen’s ‘community’ settled in Canoa Quebrada beach, Aracati, east coast of the Ceará state, Brazil – shown is this article searches for contributions for the questions regarding resistance practices of the so-called traditional communities, the invention of quotidian and the construction of local responses. The records of this experience are developed around two central themes that discuss situational forms of native practices and relations: local ways of kinship and forms of existence.
Demographic Characteristic of Fundic Gland Polyp and Its Association with Gastritis in Pathology Anatomy Department, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia/Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital
Authors: Handayani Liza , Krisnuhoni Ening 
Published: January 2018

Background: Fundic gland polyp (FGP) is the most common polyp found in the stomach with the incidence of 47% from all stomach polyps. FGP is more common to be found in female with the ratio of 5:1 and occurs in the average age of 53-year-old. Gastrin is a hormone produced by G cell, which function is to facilitate epithelial cell proliferation. Gastritis is a frequently found digestive tract disturbance. Torbenson et al showed the presence of chronic gastritis in FGP patients. The aim of this study is to observe the demographic characteristics of FGP and to identify the association between number of polyps with morphologic appearances of gastritis in Anatomical Pathology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in year 2012-2014.Method: This retrospective study was a descriptive analytical study. This study was performed by reviewing the slides of FGP cases and evaluating the severity of gastritis based on visual analog scale from Sydney System (SS).Results: Study of FGP demographic obtained 44 cases with predominantly female aged 30 (68.2%), patients’ average age was 55.4 year old with dominant age group in age group 51-60 year old which accounted for 16 (36.4%). This study was performed in 38 cases. The frequency of single polyp was 18 and multiple polyp was 20. Most cases were chronic inflammation which accounted for 21 (55.3%) and mild atrophy 18 (47.4%). Mild intestinal metaplasia was found in 1 case. There was no case of neutrophil infiltration, H. pylori infection or dysplasia. Chi-square test revealed that there was no significant association between number of polyps with gastritis.Conclusion: Chi-square test which was performed in this study showed there is no significant association between number of polyps with gastritis.
Oral Pedagogy, Playful Variation, and Issues of Notation in Khmer Wedding Music
Authors: Dyer Jeffrey 
Published: January 2018

AbstractThis study of Khmer wedding musicians’ oral pedagogy explores tensions that arise when prescriptive notation is deployed to preserve a precarious tradition. Presenting detailed examples of the musical variation that oral pedagogy promotes, I argue that this teaching method fosters the skills musicians need to play wedding music in its ritual context. Situating my ethnographic research within broad debates over continuity and change, as well as literacy and orality, I suggest that Khmer wedding musicians have developed a “local bimusicality” and may be able to read notation generatively to produce a song’s variations, maintaining the playfulness central to this performance practice.
Mud Volcanism in a Canyon: Morphodynamic Evolution of the Active Venere Mud Volcano and Its Interplay With Squillace Canyon, Central Mediterranean

Published: January 2018

AbstractSubmarine mud volcanoes develop through the extrusion of methane‐rich fluids and sediments onto the seafloor. The morphology of a mud volcano can record its extrusive history and processes of erosion and deformation affecting it. The study of offshore mud volcano dynamics is limited because only few have been mapped at resolutions that reveal their detailed surface structures. More importantly, rates and volumes of extruded sediment and methane are poorly constrained. The 100 m high twin cones of Venere mud volcano are situated at ∼1,600 m water depth within Squillace Canyon along the Ionian Calabrian margin, Mediterranean Sea. Seafloor bathymetry and backscatter data obtained by a ship‐based system and an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) allow mapping of mudflow deposits of the mud volcano and bedforms in the surrounding canyon. Repeated surveying by AUV document active mud movement at the western summit in between 2014 and 2016. Through sediment coring and tephrochronology, ages of buried mudflow deposits are determined based on the sedimentation rate and the thickness of overlying hemipelagic sediments. An average extrusion rate of 27,000 m3/yr over the last ∼882 years is estimated. These results support a three‐stage evolutionary model of Venere mud volcano since ∼4,000 years ago. It includes the onset of quiescence at the eastern cone (after ∼2,200 years ago), erosive events in Squillace Canyon (prior to ∼882 years ago), and mudflows from the eastern cone (since ∼882 years). This study reveals new interactions between a mud volcano and a canyon in the deep sea.
Late Quaternary Deep Stratification‐Climate Coupling in the Southern Ocean: Implications for Changes in Abyssal Carbon Storage

Published: January 2018

AbstractThe Southern Ocean plays an important role in modulating Pleistocene atmospheric CO2 concentrations, but the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Here, we report the laser grain‐size distribution and Mn geochemical data of a 523 kyr‐long sediment record (core ANT30/P1‐02 off Prydz Bay; East Antarctica) to trace past physical changes in the deep Southern Ocean. The core sediments are predominantly composed of clay and silt‐sized material. Three grain size end‐members (EM) as well as three sensitive grain size classes (SC) were discerned, interpreted as Ice Rafted Debris (EM1 and SC1), and coarse (EM2 and SC2) and fine (EM3, SC3) materials deposited from bottom nepheloid layers, respectively. Ratios of EM2/(EM2 + EM3) and SC2/SC3 reveal changes in the local bottom current strength, which is related to the deep ocean diapycnal mixing rate, showing higher values during interglacial periods and lower values during glacial periods. MnO was enriched at each glacial termination, probably caused by abrupt elevations in Antarctic bottom water (AABW) formation rate. Lower AABW formation rate and reduced deep diapycnal mixing during glacial periods enhanced deep Southern Ocean stratification, contributing to glacial atmospheric CO2 drawdown. The elevated AABW formation and enhanced deep diapycnal mixing during glacial terminations alleviated such deep stratification, promoting deeply sequestered CO2 to outgas.
