Authors: Manabe Tetsuharu , Oku Norihiro , Aihara Yukoh 
Published: January 2018

AbstractBackgroundIn 2012, we clarified that the prevalence of food‐dependent exercise‐induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) was 0.018% in junior‐high students in Yokohama, Japan. Furthermore, although different from FDEIA, one student who had completed oral immunotherapy developed anaphylaxis during exercise after eating causative food. There have been few large‐scale epidemiological studies of FDEIA, however, in elementary school children, therefore we conducted an epidemiological study in elementary school children in Yokohama to clarify the frequency and characteristic of FDEIA.MethodsWe sent a questionnaire regarding the occurrence of FDEIA to all 348 public elementary school nurses in Yokohama. We also compared the results with those for junior‐high school that we previously reported. We excluded those children with a past history of immediate food allergy who had achieved desensitization status after oral immunotherapy, from FDEIA, and instead defined them as having desensitization status and exercise‐induced anaphylaxis (DEIA).ResultsOf 348 school nurses, 317 responded (91.1%). Overall, eight of 170 146 children were diagnosed with FDEIA, which was significantly lower than the prevalence in junior‐high school students (0.0047% vs 0.018%, P = 0.0009). The causative foods were wheat (n = 4), and soy, fruit, crustaceans, and squid (n = 1 each). Four children had DEIA and the causative foods were wheat and milk (n = 2 each). Multiple episodes occurred in five children with FDEIA and in three children with DEIA.ConclusionsFDEIA was far less common in elementary school than in junior‐high school, and wheat was the major causative food. The new appearance of DEIA was notable. Decreasing episode recurrence remains an issue that needs to be resolved.

Hundreds of species in one of Australia's dominant plant families, the Myrtaceae, are at risk from the invasive pathogenic fungusAustropuccinia psidii. Since its arrival in Australia in 2010, native plant communities have been severely affected, with highly susceptible species likely to become extinct from recurring infections. While severe impact on Australian native and plantation forestry has been predicted, the lemon myrtle industry is already under threat. Commercial cultivars of lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) are highly susceptible toA. psidii. Detecting and monitoring disease outbreaks is currently only possible by eye, which is costly and subject to human bias. This study aims at developing a proof‐of‐concept for automated, non‐biased classification of healthy (naïve), fungicide‐treated and diseased lemon myrtle trees by means of their spectral reflectance signatures. From a lemon myrtle plantation, spectral signatures of fungicide‐treated and untreated leaves were collected using a portable field spectrometer. A third class of spectra, from naïve lemon myrtle leaves that had not been exposed toA. psidii, was collected from a botanical garden. Reflectance spectra in their primary form and their first‐order derivatives were used to train a random forest classifier resulting in an overall accuracy of 78% (kappa = 0.68) for primary spectra and 95% (kappa = 0.92) for first‐order derivative‐transformed spectra. Thus, an optical sensor‐based discrimination, using spectral reflectance signatures of this as yet uninvestigated pathosystem, seems technically feasible. This study provides a foundation for the development of automated, sensor‐based detection and monitoring systems for myrtle rust.

Abstract
Elastic geothermobarometry on inclusions is a method to determine pressure-temperature conditions of mineral growth independent of chemical equilibrium. Because of the difference in their elastic properties, an inclusion completely entrapped inside a host mineral will develop a residual stress upon exhumation, from which one can back-calculate the entrapment pressure. Current elastic geobarometric models assume that both host and inclusion are elastically isotropic and have an ideal geometry (the inclusion is spherical and isolated at the center of an infinite host). These conditions do not commonly occur in natural rocks, and the consequences for inclusion pressures can only be quantified with numerical approaches. In this paper, we report the results of numerical simulations of inclusions with the finite element method on elastically isotropic systems. We define and determine a geometrical factor (Γ) that allows measured residual pressures to be corrected for the effects of non-ideal geometry. We provide simple guidelines as to which geometries can safely be used for elastic geobarometry without correcting for the geometry. We also show that the discrepancies between elastic and conventional geobarometry reported in literature are not due to geometrical effects, and therefore result from other factors not yet included in current models.

Published: January 2018

BackgroundOcular toxoplasmosis (OT) is a common cause of posterior uveitis worldwide. The diagnosis of OT is based on clinical findings, but in most cases, laboratory tests are required to confirm the aetiology, especially when other diseases are suspected. The aim of this study was to evaluate which methods, between the Goldmann-Witmer coefficient (GWC) and immunoblotting (IB) with both IgG and IgA, in aqueous humour (AH) samples, can be the most sensitive to diagnose OT, in current practice, especially in the first three weeks.MethodsRetrospectively reviewed records of 87 consecutive patients who had underwent AH and serum sample, 42 patients with suspected OT and 45 patients with suspected other ocular inflammatory diseases. All samples were analysed by both GWC and IB.ResultsThe GWC was significant in 47.6% of patients presenting with suspected OT. The intraocular production of specific antibodyanti-Toxoplasma gondiiIgG and IgA was revealed by IB in 71.4% of samples. The combination of these two methods increased the sensitivity to 76.2%. Based on the interval between symptom onset and paracentesis, IB had a greater sensitivity than GWC when sample of AH was taken in the first three weeks (64.7% vs 23.5%, P=0.039), while the difference between the sensitivity of IB and GWC was less important in cases with an interval >3 weeks (76% vs 64% P=0.625).ConclusionIB seems to be more useful than the GWC if only one of these methods can be performed, especially during the first three weeks after symptom onset.

Published: January 2018

Objectives Antibodies to phosphatidylserine/prothrombin complex (aPS/PT) detectable in sera of some patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) have been shown to correlate with thrombosis. However, associations of aPS/PT antibodies with APS related disorders remain unclear. Aim To evaluate whether there are any associations between aPS/PT antibodies and Raynaud phenomenon, migraine and/or valvular lesions in primary thrombotic APS (PAPS). Methods We enrolled 67 consecutive patients (56 women) with thrombotic PAPS (VTE in 80.6%), aged 46.2 ± 13.5 years. The exclusion criteria were: acute coronary syndromes or stroke within preceding 6 months, cancer, severe comorbidities and pregnancy. The IgG and IgM aPS/PT antibodies were determined by ELISA with the cut-off of 30 units. We recorded Raynaud phenomenon, migraine and valvular lesions. Results Positive IgM or/and IgG aPS/PT antibodies were observed in 29 patients (43.3%), with a higher prevalence of IgM antibodies ( n = 27, 40.3%) compared with IgG isotype ( n = 12, 17.9%, p = 0.014). aPS/PT antibodies were observed most commonly in patients with triple aPL ( n = 12, 85.7%) compared with those with double ( n = 5, 35.7%) or single aPL antibodies (n = 12, 30.8%, p = 0.03), with no association with demographics, the ANA titre, the type of thrombotic events or medications. Raynaud phenomenon, migraine and valvular lesions were observed in 15% ( n = 10), 30% ( n = 20) and 18% ( n = 12) of the patients, respectively. Raynaud phenomenon and migraine, but not valvular lesions, were markedly more frequent in PAPS patients presenting with positive aPS/PT antibodies ( n = 10, 34.5% vs. n = 0, 0%; p = 0.0001). Conclusions In PAPS patients aPS/PT antibodies are related to the occurrence of both Raynaud phenomenon and migraine.

Published: January 2018

Background. Chronic Achilles tendon ruptures can lead to reduced power of plantar flexion in the ankle with impaired gait ability. The open 1- or 2-incision technique for flexor hallucis longus transfer has proven good functional outcome but has the disadvantage of relatively extensive surgery performed at a vulnerable location. To reduce the risk of soft tissue problems, the flexor hallucis longus transfer can be performed endoscopically. Material and Method. An endoscopic technique for flexor hallucis longus transfer is presented together with the experiences from the first six patients operated with this method. Results. No wound healing problems or infections. Five of 6 patients managed single leg heel raise on the affected side 12 months after surgery. Conclusion. The functional results are promising. The soft tissue dissection is minor, and no patients had postoperative wound healing problems or infection. Endoscopic flexor hallucis longus transfer may be an operative procedure that can be considered also in patients with potential wound healing problems.

The City, The Suburb and The Rest. The Earth
Authors: Alves Costa Alexandre 
Published: January 2018

This article examines the urban condition created by a new habitat that emerged in Portugal in the last decades: the suburb. In sharp opposition to the stasis of the historic centre, this article offers an optimistic gaze into the suburbs as a space where new opportunities for inclusion and co-existence could come about. The suburbs are portrayed as the real monument of the twentieth century, a human creation that should be maintained and preserved as such, in an age where the global virtual city will become the new locus for exchange and intercourse. This article also examines the dangers of removing the historic centres from the wider reality of the expanding city. Its survival condition is to contaminate the suburb instead of the other way around. The instrumentality of design - informed by politics -, is addressed as a key contribution to project the articulation of the diffuse limits of the [European] city, the suburbs and the rest.
FORMULASI PEMBAGIAN WARISAN 2:1 DALAM PERSPEKTIF EPISTEMOLOGI AL-JABIRI
Authors: Riyanta Riyanta 
Published: January 2018

This article discusses the issue of women in the family with respects to inheritance. In this context, what is discussed are contemporary thoughts, with the hopes of achieving new ideas. The formulation of 2:1 ratio for men and women are seen by classical ulama(s) as something final. In the words of Al-Jabiri, this view is counterintuitive to textual understanding. In his perspective, this formula could still change, due to the trans-historic nature of the application of the Quran. This view is in contrast to the burhani school of thought. With many social changes in society, it could very well be that women could receive more inheritance than men.
NIKAH SIRRI DALAM PERBINCANGAN MEDIA MASA
Authors: Suryadilaga Muhammad Alfatih 
Published: January 2018

Sirri marriage is a growing phenomenon in society. The apparently large number of sirri marriages is due to widespread reporting by mass media, printed and electronic. As a part of religious teachings, marriage is a holy institution to humanize mankind. The purpose of marriage cannot be achieved if there is an effort to subvert its core values. One of the things which may reduce the essence of marriage is sirri marriage, as it is not recorded by the Office of Religious Affair and thus does not carry the same legal force as official marriages. From the various cases of sirri marriages, most of them involve people in a public office and are economically well off, such as politicians, government officials and well off government and private employees. This means, that economic stability drives people to marry again to avoid sin, thus sirri marriage. On the flip side, poverty often coerces victims into sirri marriages. It seems that the reasons why people resort to sirri marriages include: prohibition to marry during civil service, the partner is not yet of age, polygamous civil servants fearful of superior reprimand and polygamous men fearful of their wives.
NIKAH SIRRI DAN ISTBAT NIKAH DALAM PANDANGAN LEMBAGA BAHTSUL MASAIL PWNU YOGYAKARTA
Authors: Masduqi Irwan 
Published: January 2018

This article will address the terminology of sirrimarriages, which has been completely misinterpreted in Indonesia. Besides attempting to clarify this terminological problem, this paper will also discuss the debate on the law of sirrimarriages through the perspectives of classical and contemporary ulamas who have become the source for consideration for activists from BahtsulMasail PWNU Yogyakarta in reacting to this issue. A discussion no less important is the proposal for a new fiqhon marriage (fiqh al-munakahah al-jadidah) recommending the registration of marriage as an extra requirement of the validity of marriage. This paper will offer a solution to address the legal conundrum surrounding Law No. 50 of 2009 and Article 7(3) of the Compilation of Islamic Law, which regulates a court’s right to legalize marriages (marital itsbat) prior to the enforcement of Law No. 1 of 1974, whereas many of such requests for itsbat are done for cases of unregistered polygamy after the enactment of Law No. 1 of 1974.
PERNIKAHAN TANPA PENCATATAN: ISBAT NIKAH SEBUAH SOLUSI?
Authors: Nurlaelawati Euis 
Published: January 2018

The Indonesian Islamic family law, through the kompilasi and the Law of Marriage of 1974, states that a marriage must be concluded in the presence of an official marriage registrar or must be registered. However, the laws differentiate between the religious validity and the state legality of marriage. They therefore do not consider a marriage as a religiously invalid if the parties concerned fail to register their marriage. In fact, considered illegal by the state, unregistered marriages are not seen as unlawful by religious authorities. It seems clear that the kompilasi is anxious not to deviate from the classical doctrine of marriage. This paper discusses unregistered marriage according to Indonesian State Islamic family law and in practical level and its legal impacts. It criticizes the rules on registration of marriage and its solution. Presenting a number of cases of unregistered marriages and some views of relevant authorities, it argues that there have been abuses in the application of the relevant rules on both registration marriage and isbat nikah.
SEJARAH SOSIAL PAKAIAN PENUTUP KEPALA MUSLIMAH DI SUMATERA BARAT
Authors: Lukman Fadli 
Published: January 2018

Wearing the veil relates very much to hermeneutical reception to the Qur’an, though the development and variety of designs are in accordance with socio-cultural as well as political circumstances. This article discusses the existence of veil in West Sumatera, among the Minangkabau people after Paderi period. Applying a social-history approach with a descriptive-analitical method, this research ends with some interesting findings. In the past in West Sumatera, a specific veil called a mudawarah or lilik became popular as an effect of the reformation of Islamic Education there. The political policies of the New Order period, as well as during the reformation years of increased capitalism, the veil developed a new shape and the wearing of the mudawarah was slowly marginalized. This phenomena shows that although the aesthetic shape of the veil comes from initial text, its development shows such a creative interpretation of the text

Abstract
TP 53 promoter methylation was examined in frozen tumor tissue taken from patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma with EBV, HPV and co-infection EBV/HPV. This pilot study was performed on 48 patients. Initial studies indicate a high frequency of methylation in HPV-associated (57.1%) and EBV - associated OSCC (60%) cases, whilst the highest exists in co-infection HPV/EBV (75%). Future studies on a larger group of patients, of the mechanisms of co-infection and their role in oral squamous cell carcinoma, are necessary.
Molecular characterization of ESBL gene in Citrobacter spp. and antibacterial activity of omega-3 against resistant isolates
Authors: Darweesh Mayyada F. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the prevalence and resistance pattern of different Citrobacter spp., phenotypically and genotypically, to β-lactam antibiotics, then to evaluate the antibacterial activity of omega-3 extracted from flaxseed against isolates that harboring resistance genes. Herein, 19 Citrobacter isolates were isolated from 100 stool and urine samples taken from patients attended to AL-Sadar Hospital during June- December 2016. Clinical samples were then cultured on specific media, thereafter, isolates were identified depending on morphological, biochemical characteristics and VITK-2. The results showed that the Citrobacter spp. comprise 19/78 (24%) of positive bacterial growth on macConky agar, from which 14.1% were C. freundii, C. koseri represented 6.1% and C. farmeri were 3.8% of the total. The results of antibiotic susceptibility showed that all Citrobacter 100% isolates were resistant to ampicillin and cefoxitin, but were sensitive to imipinim. Moreover, the isolates initally showed different degrees of resistant to β-lactam antibiotics. Furthermore, by confirmatory test, the results observed that 17/19 (89.4%) of the isolated were extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL - producers). Finally, using the PCR technique to detect blaGenes, the results revealed that 14/17 (82.3) of potential ESBL producing Citrobacter harbored one or more ESBL genes. These included 10 isolates of C. freundii and 4 isolates of C. koseri. In related work, extracts of essential fatty acid semicarbazide - omega3 (EFASC) from Linum usitatissium (Flaxseed) were tested to evaluate their activity against resistant isolates. The results demonstrate the broad spectrum antibacterial property of EFASC compounds against resistant bacteria. In conclusion, this study found increase prevalence of multi-drug resistance MDR Citrobacter spp. as causative agents in clinical cases. Considering the antibacterial activity of EFASC that displayed high activity against resistant pathogens, deservedly, attention must be paid to developing their use as alternative antibiotics.

Summary
This study tested the hypothesis that a third dimension of urban gardening, in the form of green terraces and balconies, is of immense importance to the public well-being, mitigating climate changes and contributing to a more pleasant life in highly urbanized zones. By means of a concise questionnaire, a total of 82 respondents of different age groups (20-70 years of age) were surveyed about their opinion on green terraces, balconies, and roofs, i.e. the plants and flowers they incorporate. The fieldwork and survey responses facilitated the design of ten different spaces in various conditions. The results obtained enabled the selection of plants which could be used in given conditions, depending on wind, insolation, shade, ground levels, precipitation, etc. A total of three different terraces (out of ten) and three different balconies (out of ten) were enrolled in the study. The research results indicate that ten minutes of gardening could reduce stress levels and restore the positive energy of residents. An increase in the overall plant diversity exerts positive aesthetic and ecological effects. Inner-city areas are often sparsely vegetated, devoid of plants, and densely built-up, thus terraces and balconies have the potential to be retrofitted with suitable greenery.
