Introduction. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remain the leading cause of death in industrialized countries. Patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) in combination with diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) are characterized by more severe CHD and poor prognosis. Resent data indicate microRNAs (miRNAs) as important participants in the pathogenesis of various pathological conditions, including obesity, T2DM and CVD.The aim of this study was to determine expression of miRNAs associated with the development of CHD, and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) in a patients with T2DM and obesity Materials and methods. 42 patients with 1-2 degrees obesity and diagnosed T2DM were divided into 2 groups. The first group with CHD, the second group - without CHD. 9 miRNAs were evaluated: miRNA-1, miRNA-21, miRNA-26a, m miRNA-27, miRNA-33a, miRNA-33b, miRNA-133a, miRNA-133b, miRNA-208.Results and discussion. Significant differences were found in expression of miRNA-21, miRNA-26a, miRNA27a. An increased expression of miRNA-21, miRNA-27a was found in patients CHD while the expression of miRNA-26a was reduced in comparison with the group without CHD.Conclusion. The results of this study may be an initial step for the detection of molecular basis in CHD pathogenesis in these patients by quantifying miRNA expression. Introduction.

Published: January 2017

El método de Hamilton-Jacobi permite determinar explícitamente la función generadora a partir de la cual es posible deducir una transformación que haga soluble las ecuaciones de Hamilton. Haciendo uso del método de separación de variables se soluciona la ecuación diferencial parcial de primer orden denominada ecuación de Hamilton-Jacobi; como caso particular consideramos el oscilador de Caldirola-Kanai (CK), el cual se caracteriza en que la masa presenta una evolución temporal de forma exponencial . Demostramos que la posición del oscilador CK presenta un decaimiento exponencial en el tiempo semejante al que se obtiene en el oscilador con amortiguamiento sub-crítico, donde se refleja la disipación de la energía mecánica total. Encontramos que en el límite en que el factor de amortiguamiento es pequeño, el comportamiento es igual al de un oscilador con movimiento armónico simple, donde los efectos de disipación de la energía son despreciables.
Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry for Rare Earth Elements Analysis

Abstract
Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) merits multielements capability, high sensitivity, good reproducibility, low matrix effect and wide dynamic linear range for rare earth elements (REEs) analysis. But the spectral interference in trace REEs analysis by ICP-OES is a serious problem due to the complicated emission spectra of REEs, which demands some correction technology including interference factor method, derivative spectrum, Kalman filtering algorithm and partial least-squares (PLS) method. Matrix-matching calibration, internal standard, correction factor and sample dilution are usually employed to overcome or decrease the matrix effect. Coupled with various sample introduction techniques, the analytical performance of ICP-OES for REEs analysis would be improved. Compared with conventional pneumatic nebulization (PN), acid effect and matrix effect are decreased to some extent in flow injection ICP-OES, with higher tolerable matrix concentration and better reproducibility. By using electrothermal vaporization as sample introduction system, direct analysis of solid samples by ICP-OES is achieved and the vaporization behavior of refractory REEs with high boiling point, which can easily form involatile carbides in the graphite tube, could be improved by using chemical modifier, such as polytetrafluoroethylene and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazone. Laser ablation-ICP-OES is suitable for the analysis of both conductive and nonconductive solid samples, with the absolute detection limit of ng-pg level and extremely low sample consumption (0.2 % of that in conventional PN introduction). ICP-OES has been extensively employed for trace REEs analysis in high-purity materials, and environmental and biological samples.

CSF flux is involved in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive impairment after traumatic brain injury, all hallmarked by the accumulation of cellular metabolic waste. Its effective disposal via various CSF routes has been demonstrated in animal models. In contrast, the CSF dynamics in humans are still poorly understood. Using novel real-time MRI, forced inspiration has been identified recently as a main driving force of CSF flow in the human brain. Exploiting technical advances toward real-time phase-contrast MRI, the current work analyzed directions, velocities, and volumes of human CSF flow within the brain aqueduct as part of the internal ventricular system and in the spinal canal during respiratory cycles. A consistent upward CSF movement toward the brain in response to forced inspiration was seen in all subjects at the aqueduct, in 11/12 subjects at thoracic level 2, and in 4/12 subjects at thoracic level 5. Concomitant analyses of CSF dynamics and cerebral venous blood flow, that is, in epidural veins at cervical level 3, uniquely demonstrated CSF and venous flow to be closely communicating cerebral fluid systems in which inspiration-induced downward flow of venous blood due to reduced intrathoracic pressure is counterbalanced by an upward movement of CSF. The results extend our understanding of human CSF flux and open important clinical implications, including concepts for drug delivery and new classifications and therapeutic options for various forms of hydrocephalus and idiopathic intracranial hypertension.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTEffective disposal of brain cellular waste products via CSF has been demonstrated repeatedly in animal models. However, CSF dynamics in humans are still poorly understood. A novel quantitative real-time MRI technique yieldedin vivoCSF flow directions, velocities, and volumes in the human brain and upper spinal canal. CSF moved upward toward the head in response to forced inspiration. Concomitant analysis of brain venous blood flow indicated that CSF and venous flux act as closely communicating systems. The finding of a human CSF–venous network with upward CSF net movement opens new clinical concepts for drug delivery and new classifications and therapeutic options for various forms of hydrocephalus and ideopathic intracranial hypertension.
Kesalehan ‘Alawi dan Islam di Asia Tenggara

Chiara Formichi and R. Michael Feener, eds. 2015. Shi‘ism in Southeast Asia: ‘Alid Piety and Sectarian Constructions. London: Hurst & Company.Sunni and Shi’i studies have thus far been conducted along existing sectarian lines. But this volume edited by Formichi and Feener is an attempt to depart from that long-lasting academic tradition. Assuming the continuous tradition of Hodgson’s ‘Alid loyalism, the book intends to develop the assessment and analysis of diverse elements of ‘Alid piety among Muslims in Southeast Asia. The use of ‘Alid piety as the conceptual framework is path-breaking work in the academic study of Southeast Asian Islam, because this concept transcends Sunni and Shi‘i sectarian identities. The book tries to trace the historical foundation of ‘Alid piety in Southeast Asia, its manifestation in literary legacies, its modalities and cultural expressions, and contemporary developments in the sectarian construction. However, it would have provided more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of elements of ‘Alid piety if certain aspects of popular Sufi and religious tradition, particularly the celebration of the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday, were included.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v23i3.3344
Ta’bīd al-waqf wa ta’qītuhu fī wilāyāt mukhtārah fī Malaysia

Published: January 2017

Muslim jurists differ in the declaration (ṣīghah) of waqf, specifically on whether an endowment can be temporary or it must be in perpetuity. In Malaysia most of the states impose waqf solely on perpetuity property based on the Shafi’i school of jurisprudence. The objective of this paper is to research whether temporary endowments have been enacted and applied in selected states in Malaysia, namely Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Malacca and Johor. A qualitative methodology was used to analyze the data through inductive, deductive and comparative methods. The research shows that Johor is the only state of Malaysia that has allowed the application of temporary endowments, as stated in section 17 of the Rules of Waqf Johor 1983. It can be implied that fatwas which were issued by the Fatwa Committee regarding Endowments are required to be reassessed from time to time and not limited to the view of a single school of jurisprudence, especially in the field of waqf, without considering the best interests (maṣlaḥah) of contemporary society.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v23i3.3592
Exclusivism and Radicalism in Schools: State Policy and Educational Politics Revisited
Authors: Abdallah Abdallah 
Published: January 2017

Religious Education is an important part of a nation’s political culture, and Indonesia is no exception. Since independence, Sukarno, Indonesia’s first president, insisted that the role of Islamic education was not only character-building but also nation-building. Islamic religious education is expected to have a stake in building the character of the nation and to participate in actualizing the promises of independence. The objective of Islamic education in Indonesia is not only to create a religious person, but also making a good citizen.The values ​​of piety assume that a person will be a good citizen: tolerant, democratic and respectful of others. However, practically, piety does not guarantee that a person is able to uphold such values ​​of citizenship. Today, religious radicalism which leads to violent behavior and labelling the other as unbeliever (takfīrīyah) is booming in the community. Ironically, the radical ideology infiltrates education sector. In Jombang, in March 2015, the Ansor Youth Movement (Gerakan Pemuda Ansor) associated with Nahdlatul Ulama found radical ideology on senior high school worksheets which called for killing people deemed idolatrous; the worksheet reads: “only Allah can and should be worshipped, and those who worship anything besides Allah have become idolatrous and should be killed.” As it turned out, this was not only in Jombang; the same materials can be found in Jakarta, Depok and Bandung.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v23i3.4425
Tendencias, explicaciones y control policial frente a la violencia delictiva bajo el gobierno bolivariano
Authors: Gabaldón Luis Gerardo 
Published: January 2017

Los delitos violentos en Venezuela, en particular los homicidios, vienen aumentando sostenidamente desde la década de 1990, aunque de manera exponencial a partir de 1998, coincidiendo con la instauración de un gobierno de izquierda. Las explicaciones académicas usuales en Venezuela enfatizan la desigualdad, la tensión, la privación, el mercado de las drogas e incluso la impunidad como actores asociados, pese a que el gobierno chavista redujo sustancialmente la desigualdad, especialmente desde 2005, cuando los homicidios continuaron su ascenso, y promovió na reforma policial orientada a mejorar el desempeño técnico y a racionalizar el uso de la fuerza física. Esta aparente contradicción se discute en el contexto de una reforma policial inconclusa, de la ineficacia para controlar la disponibilidad y uso de las armas de fuego y de una creciente militarización de la seguridad ciudadana, que probablemente han contribuido al incremento situacional de la violencia, más allá de las políticas de reducción de la desigualdad social.

AbstractMonodisperse, air-stable Co/CoO and CoAg55 nanoparticles with a mean diameter of about 11 nm have been synthesized using methods of colloidal chemistry. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) element-specific TEM images reveal a multiply-twinned fcc Co metallic core covered with a 2-2.5 nm thick CoO shell. The lattice parameters are in agreement with those of bulk Co and CoO. A shift of the hysteresis loop of 0.4 T, induced by field CoOling of the Co/CoO particles, indicates a strong unidirectional exchange anisotropy due to the interaction between the ferromagnetic Co core and the antiferromagnetic CoO shell. CoAg55 composite particles consist of grains of fcc Co and fcc Ag. No evidence for alloy formation was observed. Electron energy-loss and X-ray microanalysis indicate that Co is predominantly found in the surface region of the particles. SQUID magnetometry shows that at room temperature the CoAg55 particles are superparamagnetic while at 90 K a hysteresis loop was detected with a coercive field of 0.07 T and a remanent magnetization of 32 % of the saturation value.

Published: January 2017

AbstractNanoporous templates made from diblock copolymer films are used for electrochemical fabrication of hexagonal arrays of vertical cobalt magnetic nanowires at terabit/in2 density. The nanowire diameter and areal density are determined by the copolymer molecular weight, whereas the nanowire length and internal crystal morphology are controlled through the dc electrodeposition growth process. The array magnetic properties can be modified substantially by electrodeposition pH conditions while keeping wire size and interwire distance constant. Optimum pH control results in preferential growth of c-axis oriented crystallites with large perpendicular coercivity. The appearance of exchange bias behavior, exhibited at low temperatures, is also investigated.

Published: January 2017

AbstractWe develop a rate-equation model for ion beam assisted homoepitaxy. The model describes how island diffusion, detachment and breakup, generation of surface damage and interlayer transitions of adatoms and monovacancies affect the growth. We simulate the (100) and (110) surfaces of silver and the (100) surface of copper using potential energy barriers calculated using either surface embedded atom method (SEAM) or the effective medium theory (EMT). We study how the choice of the potential barriers affects the growth and comment on the suitability of SEAM and EMT for calculating barriers for surface simulation. We demonstrate how different processes affect the microstructure of the film, compare the growth on different surfaces and study the scaling properties of the results.

Seismic Shifts in Oklahoma Lead to Stricter Regulations
Authors: Jacobs Trent 
Published: January 2017

Industry regulators in Oklahoma have rolled out broad new restrictions on more than 600 disposal wells as part of the largest action of its kind taken in response to earthquakes. An additional 118 wells have been included in an “area of interest” and face increased reporting and monitoring requirements. Altogether, the plan affects approximately 20% of the state’s disposal wells and marks a major change for the fourth-largest oil- and gas-producing state in the US.
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission, the state’s industry regulator, spent a year issuing volume reductions and shut-ins at a number of specific disposal sites, efforts that failed to slow the rising rate of earthquakes. Then on 13 February, the third-strongest earthquake in Oklahoma history shook homes across the state and was felt hundreds of miles away by residents of three neighboring states. No serious damage or injuries were reported. But just days after the 5.1 magnitude trembler, regulators abandoned their pinpoint approach and announced a “regional earthquake response plan” that covers approximately 10,000 sq miles—an area twice the size of Qatar.
For the foreseeable future, no new disposal well permits will be granted in the restricted zone, and operators must curtail fluid injections into existing wells by 40% of their 2014 average rate. Based on last year’s figures, that means a reduction of fluid injection of approximately 300,000 B/D.
Because water disposal is a necessary component of oil and gas operations, the immediate scarcity of disposal wells may drive up fees at sites operated by third parties. Recycling or trucking the water outside of the restriction zone are expensive options that few operators can afford right now.
If there are no feasible alternatives, ongoing production declines may accelerate in the Mississippian Lime, the most significant play affected by the order. The play is a carbonate formation, and unconventional techniques are used to recover oil and gas from it. Last year, production in the Mississippian Lime was estimated to be around 100,000 B/D, which accounted for a quarter of the state’s overall production.
