Authors: Onggowidjaja Philips , Shahib M. Nurhalim 
Published: January 2018

This research was to evaluate the influence of common carp meat diet on brain index and gene NR2B expression of Swiss Webster mice cerebrum. The gene expression and performance of ion Ca2+ channel in neuron are influenced by Glycine and Glutamic Acid, which present in relatively high quantities in common carp meat. Eighteen male mice were divided into 3 diet groups, the standard pellet, 120 mg and 480 mg common carp meat/day. The brain index differences among groups were analyzed using ANOVA test (p≤0,05) and LSD. The total RNA of 5 mg mouse cerebrum was isolated, followed by RT-PCR; the DNA quantities were predicted using Geldoc instrument, then were analyzed using ANOVA test (p≤0,05). The 120 mg diet group brain index did not show difference (p=0,284) against the standard diet group, while the 480 mg diet group showed the increase compared to the standard (p=0,034) and 120 mg diet groups (p=0,004). No DNA quantity differences of all groups (p=0,195). It was concluded, the 480 mg common carp meat/ day diet increased the brain index of Swiss Webster mice, while the 120 mg and 480 mg common carp/day diets did not influence the gene NR2B expression of Swiss Webster mice cerebrum. Keywords : brain index, gene NR2B expression, common carp meat diet

Published: January 2018

Soybean Detam 1 and Jati Belanda leaves are potential alternative medicines for treating dyslipidemia. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of the combination of Ethanolic Extract Soybean Detam 1 (EEKD) and Jati Belanda (EEJB) in lowering LDL cholesterol and triglycerides compared to single extract and Simvastatin. Using a real laboratory experimental method with CRD, a total of 36 male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups and administrated for treatment of 28 days. The results showed a significant decrease of LDL cholesterol as well as triglyceride in NC as compared to P1, P2, P3 (p <0.05) and no significant difference with PC (p> 0.05). The highest suppression of LDL cholesterol between P1 with P2 and P3 is (p <0.05) while the triglyceride is between P1 and P2 (p <0.05). This study concludes that the combination of EEKD 10 mg, 20 mg EEJB, EEKD 30 mg and EEJB 30 mg is significantly lowering LDL cholesterol and triglyceride. The combination of EEKD 10 mg, 20 mg EEJB is the highest compression of LDL cholesterol and triglyceride, and has an equivalent effect with simvastatin in lowering LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in male Wistar rats induced with high fat diet. Keywords: LDL cholesterol, triglycerides
Cytotoxic Activity of Red Fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam.) Oil and Its Effect On Cyclooxygenase-2 Gene Expression in Raji Cells
Authors: Tih Fen 
Published: January 2018

The number of cancer patient is increasing, while a really effective therapy has not yet been discovered. One concept of carcinogenesis is the relation between chronic inflammation and cancer. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has a carcinogenic effect in inflamed and malignant tissues. Red Fruit contains carotenoid that can suppress COX-2 gene expression and tocopherol, which is a potent inhibitor of COX-2. The purpose of this study is to determine cytotoxic activity of Red Fruit oil and its effect on COX-2 gene expression. The experiment used 5 dosages of Red Fruit, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 µg/mL, exposed to Raji cells. However, unexposed Raji cells were used as control. Cytotoxic activities were evaluated by MTT Assay, while Lethal Concentration50 (LC50) was determined through regression-correlation analysis. Red Fruit oil effect on COX-2 gene expression was evaluated by Reversed Transcriptase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) method and electrophoresis. Electrophoresis bands were analyzed by Scion Image for Windows. Optical Integrated Density (OID) of unexposed and exposed groups were statistically analyzed with one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan test with α=0.05. The results showed that Red Fruit had a cytotoxic activity on Raji cells with LC50 of331.42 µg/mL. Red Fruit suppressed COX-2 gene expression with an effective dosage obtained at 500 µg/mL. Keywords: red fruit, cytotoxicity, cox-2 gene expression, raji cells

Authors: Abdulla Mazen Dewan , Khaduier Zahraa Abbas 
Published: January 2018

This paper presents the results of a study to have better understanding of structural behavior of the reinforced concrete (RC) column wrapped by carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets.
In this study, 3D F.E model has been presented using ANSYS computer program (Release 16.0) to analyze reinforced concrete columns strengthened with CFRP composites , to evaluate the gain in performance (strength and ductility) due to strengthening, and to study the effect of the most important parameters such as: compressive strength of concrete, modulus of elasticity of CFRP and corner radius of square columns.
Three dimensional eight-node brick element (SOLID65) was used to represent the concrete, three dimensional spar element (LINK180) represented the steel and using a three dimensional shell element (SHELL41) to represent the CFRP composites.
The present study has a comparison between the analytical results from the ANSYS finite element analysis with experimental data. The results of the study show that, external bonded CFRP sheets are very effective in enhancing the axial strength and ductility of the concrete columns. Inspection of
Effect of alumina particles on structural changes in MoS2 during a ball milling process

AbstractSimple, economic, and scalable production of 2D molybdenite (MoS2) nanosheets is necessary for practical applications, as in next generation anodes for Li-ion batteries. One currently developing route for production of MoS2 nanosheets is exfoliation of bulk molybdenite using a ball milling technique. In this research, the morphological evolution of molybdenite in the milling process of MoS2 and MoS2–Al2O3 systems is studied. Structural changes in molybdenite were investigated using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Results showed that when MoS2 was milled alone, 2D nanosheets, nanobars, and nanotubes were formed in the first step of the process and then structural destruction occurred when milling was prolonged. However, when alumina was included, destruction initiated from the beginning of the milling process leading to a highly activated structure.
Impact on the Sardine Industries: Closed Fishing Season Policy, Zamboanga Peninsula, The Philippines

Published: January 2018

Since the Philippines is archipelagic with a lot of major fishing grounds of which many are considered ecologically threatened, a closed fishing season is invariably an expected recourse. The Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior and Local Government enforced a three-month fishing ban in 2011-2014 in Zamboanga Peninsula, intended to conserve the sardine species and sustain the operations of its industries. Since a closed fishing season entails not only benefits but also costs, its expiration in 2014 raised calls to empirically validate its outcome. Premised on the meagre information on the impact of closed fishing season and fishing regulations in the country—this study assesses the effects of the Closed Fishing Season Policy on the sardine fishing and processing sectors by looking into the variation in sardine catch, sardine production and level of employment. Utilising a survey research design, the article contends that the fishing regulation had a favourable impact on the sardine industries; the commercial and municipal fishers grew their sardine catch, and the canning and bottling processors benefited from increasing production and rising number of workers. Sardine catch and production are expected to surpass the previous peaks in volume in the coming years, and the number of workers exceeded the previous highest level prior to the enactment of the closed fishing season. The findings debunk the zero-sum expectations and offer a promising prospect for justifying the continuation of the fishing regulation, the institutionalisation of the Policy, and its adoption in other parts of the country.

Authors: Mazzoleni S. , Battini E. , Crecchi R. , Dario P. , Posteraro F. 
Published: January 2018

BACKGROUND: Significant results have been shown when an upper limb robot-assisted rehabilitation is delivered to stroke patients. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of upper limb robot-assisted rehabilitation on motor recovery in stroke patients who underwent a treatment based on a haptic device. METHODS: Thirty-nine stroke patients (twenty-three subacute and sixteen chronic) underwent rehabilitation training by using MOTORE/Armotion haptic system. Thirteen healthy subjects were recruited for comparison purpose. The following clinical outcome measures were used: Chedoke-McMaster Stroke Assessment, Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FM), Medical Research Council, Motricity Index (MI), Box and Block Test (B&B) and Modified Barthel Index (mBI). The following parameters were computed: mean speed, maximum speed, mean time, path length, normalized jerk, mean force, mean error, mean energy expenditure and active patient-robot interaction percentage. The assessments were carried-out before and after treatment. RESULTS: Significant changes were observed in both groups in the FM, MI, B&B and mean speed. Significant changes were observed in mBI, mean time, mean force, mean energy expenditure and active patient-robot interaction percentage in subacute stroke patients. In chronic stroke patients significant changes were found on the MAS-elbow. CONCLUSIONS: The haptic device used is at least as effective as an existing device used in similar studies.
Sense of Coherence in persons with late effects of polio
Authors: Nolvi Maria , Brogårdh Christina , Jacobsson Lars , Lexell Jan 
Published: January 2018

BACKGROUND: Sense of Coherence (SOC) is important for successful adaptation and mental well-being in people with life-long medical conditions. Late effects of polio (LEoP) often lead to a life-long disability, but no study has assessed SOC in this population. OBJECTIVE: To assess SOC in persons with LEoP and to explore the association between SOC, demographics (age, gender, marital status and level of education) and variables related to LEoP (age at polio onset, number of years from polio until onset of LEoP and self-rated disability). METHOD: Ninety-three community-dwelling persons with clinically verified LEoP responded to a postal survey with the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-13). A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed to explore the associations with SOC. RESULTS: SOC varied considerably among the participants. The mean and median SOC-13 total sum score was 71.8 and 76 points, which is similar to age-matched non-disabled people. The number of years before onset of LEoP and self-rated disability together with the participants’ marital status and level of education explained 37% ( p < 0.001) of the variance in SOC. CONCLUSION: Persons with LEoP have a level of SOC indicating that they generally have the ability to understand, handle and being motivated when dealing with stressful events and problems arising in their lives as a result of their disability. Being married and having a higher education, living many years before onset of LEoP and perceiving a mild to moderate disability contributed to a strong SOC.

Background: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by a bacillus called Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Koch's Bacillus (BK). It is associated with various long-term lung complications, including: lung scarring (fibrosis), bronchiectasis, Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis, and more rarely, atelectasis. There is however very limited data in literature on the full spectrum of these complications, and relies mostly on case reports and small case series.
Case: The authors report a case of atelectasis in a patient with previous diagnosis of Tuberculosis. Normal laboratory tests and imaging test presenting right lung atelectasis. Went under respiratory therapy, presented improve and is under clinical control.
Conclusion: There is a huge importance of knowing the various methods to diagnose this disease and treat it well. Thus, it enables an improvement in the patient and a reduction in the spread of bacteria.
Confusing Binaries: The Role of Stellar Binaries in Biasing Disk Properties in the Galactic Center

Published: January 2018

Abstract
The population of young stars near the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the Galactic Center (GC) has presented an unexpected challenge to theories of star formation. Kinematic measurements of these stars have revealed a stellar disk structure (with an apparent 20% disk membership) that has provided important clues regarding the origin of these mysterious young stars. However, many of the apparent disk properties are difficult to explain, including the low disk membership fraction and the high eccentricities given the youth of this population. Thus far, all efforts to derive the properties of this disk have made the simplifying assumption that stars at the GC are single stars. Nevertheless, stellar binaries are prevalent in our Galaxy, and recent investigations suggested that they may also be abundant in the Galactic Center. Here, we show that binaries in the disk can largely alter the apparent orbital properties of the disk. The motion of binary members around each other adds a velocity component, which can be comparable to the magnitude of the velocity around the SMBH in the GC. Thus, neglecting the contribution of binaries can significantly vary the inferred stars’ orbital properties. While the disk orientation is unaffected, the apparent disk’s 2D width will be increased to about 11.°2, similar to the observed width. For a population of stars orbiting the SMBH with zero eccentricity, unaccounted for binaries will create a wide apparent eccentricity distribution with an average of 0.23. This is consistent with the observed average eccentricity of the stars’ in the disk. We suggest that this high eccentricity value, which poses a theoretical challenge, may be an artifact of binary stars. Finally, our results suggest that the actual disk membership might be significantly higher than the one inferred by observations that ignore the contribution of binaries, alleviating another theoretical challenge.

Abstract
We report the detection in space of a new molecular species that has been characterized spectroscopically and fully identified from astrophysical data. The observations were carried out with the IRAM 30 m telescope. The molecule is ubiquitous as its

transition has been found in cold molecular clouds, prestellar cores, and shocks. However, it is not found in the hot cores of Orion-KL and in the carbon-rich evolved star IRC+10216. Three rotational transitions in perfect harmonic relation

have been identified in the prestellar core B1b. The molecule has a 1Σ electronic ground state and its

transition presents the hyperfine structure characteristic of a molecule containing a nucleus with spin 1. A careful analysis of possible carriers shows that the best candidate is NS+. The derived rotational constant agrees within 0.3%–0.7% with ab initio calculations. NS+ was also produced in the laboratory to unambiguously validate the astrophysical assignment. The observed rotational frequencies and determined molecular constants confirm the discovery of the nitrogen sulfide cation in space. The chemistry of NS+ and related nitrogen-bearing species has been analyzed by means of a time-dependent gas-phase model. The model reproduces well the observed NS/NS+ abundance ratio, in the range 30–50, and indicates that NS+ is formed by reactions of the neutral atoms N and S with the cations SH+ and NH+, respectively.
A Magnetic Reconnection Event in the Solar Atmosphere Driven by Relaxation of a Twisted Arch Filament System

Published: January 2018

Abstract
We present high-resolution observations of a magnetic reconnection event in the solar atmosphere taken with the New Vacuum Solar Telescope, Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), and Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI). The reconnection event occurred between the threads of a twisted arch filament system (AFS) and coronal loops. Our observations reveal that the relaxation of the twisted AFS drives some of its threads to encounter the coronal loops, providing inflows of the reconnection. The reconnection is evidenced by flared X-shape features in the AIA images, a current-sheet-like feature apparently connecting post-reconnection loops in the Hα + 1 Å images, small-scale magnetic cancelation in the HMI magnetograms and flows with speeds of 40–80 km s−1 along the coronal loops. The post-reconnection coronal loops seen in the AIA 94 Å passband appear to remain bright for a relatively long time, suggesting that they have been heated and/or filled up by dense plasmas previously stored in the AFS threads. Our observations suggest that the twisted magnetic system could release its free magnetic energy into the upper solar atmosphere through reconnection processes. While the plasma pressure in the reconnecting flux tubes are significantly different, the reconfiguration of field lines could result in transferring of mass among them and induce heating therein.
Gauging the Helium Abundance of the Galactic Bulge RR Lyrae Stars*
Authors: Marconi Marcella , Minniti Dante 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
We report the first estimate of the He abundance of the population of RR Lyrae stars in the Galactic bulge. This is done by comparing the recent observational data with the latest models. We use the large samples of ab-type RR Lyrae stars found by OGLE IV in the inner bulge and by the VVV survey in the outer bulge. We present the result from the new models computed by Marconi et al., showing that the minimum period for fundamental RR Lyrae pulsators depends on the He content. By comparing these models with the observations in a period versus effective temperature plane, we find that the bulk of the bulge ab-type RR Lyrae are consistent with primordial He abundance Y = 0.245, ruling out a significant He-enriched population. This work demonstrates that the He content of the bulge RR Lyrae is different from that of the bulk of the bulge population as traced by the red clump giants that appear to be significantly more He-rich.
La Russie soviétique et l’Europe : frontières, propagandes, mythologies du xx e siècle
Authors: Cœuré Sophie 
Published: January 2018

L’article propose une analyse panoramique de la place et du rôle de la Russie en Europe, à partir du changement de paradigme de 1917. Les bolcheviks appellent le monde entier à suivre l’exemple révolutionnaire, inversent de manière provocante l’image d’une Russie attardée, et construisent un État qui se veut d’un type entièrement nouveau, tant dans son organisation intérieure que dans ses relations internationales. Les premières années du régime soviétique remodèlent la notion de frontière et fondent une tension durable entre deux conceptions de l’espace communiste, l’une continue, l’autre discontinue. Dans le cadre du débat né à l’époque sur le double standard de la politique extérieure de l’URSS, entre idéologie communiste et intérêts de puissance, la deuxième partie analyse une diplomatie d’influence d’un type nouveau, appuyée notamment sur des « techniques d’hospitalité ». Enfin, la troisième partie trace les grandes lignes de la mythographie des mondes soviétique, russe et révolutionnaire en Europe.
Quel sport power pour la Russie ?
Authors: Aubin Lukas 
Published: January 2018

Depuis l’arrivée de Vladimir Poutine à la présidence en 2000, le sport est redevenu un instrument de pouvoir en Russie alors qu’il avait été délaissé à la chute de l’URSS. Des JO de Sotchi 2014 à la Coupe du monde de football 2018, il est dorénavant un outil à part entière de la politique étrangère du pays, mobilisant toutes les composantes de l’ élite du pouvoir (oligarques, hommes politiques, sportifs, entreprises ...). Néanmoins, le sport power ou la diplomatie du sport est un phénomène nouveau et relativement peu étudié en Russie alors qu’il offre des clés d’analyse originales pour comprendre le régime politique russe actuel. Cet article propose d’étudier le sport power russe, ses leviers économiques, juridiques et politiques, tout en s’attachant à en comprendre l’impact sur le territoire et sur les représentations des élites.
