Salah satu Tugas Pokok dan Fungsi utama Dinas Komunikasi dan Informatika Kota Denpasar adalah sebagai pengelola infrastruktur aplikasi pelayanan publik di Pemerintah Kota Denpasar. Pelayanan publik berupa pelayanan kependudukan di Kota Denpasar menggunakan aplikasi Sistem Informasi Administrasi Kependudukan (SIAK) yang meliputi pembuatan KTP, KK, dan Akta Kelahiran. Jika infrastruktur aplikasi pelayanan publik ini mengalami permasalahan, maka akan sangat menghambat semua proses yang berujung kepada komplain masyarakat dan berdampak pada menurunnya tingkat kepercayaan publik. Oleh karena itu dilakukan suatu evaluasi internal berupa audit dalam pengelolaan infrastruktur aplikasi pelayanan publik agar pihak pengelola dapat melakukan perencanaan untuk perbaikan serta peningkatan dan pengembangan infrastruktur yang telah dibangun. Audit dilakukan dengan menggunakan COBIT 4.1 sebagai kerangka kerja kontrol. Berdasarkan hasil audit dengan menggunakan Maturity Model COBIT 4.1, diperoleh tingkat kematangan pada proses AI3 (Mendapatkan dan Memelihara Infrastruktur Teknologi) yaitu berada pada level 3 (defined). Untuk penilaian secara objektif, tingkat kematangan berada diantara level 3 (defined) dan level 4 (managed and measurable) yaitu sebesar 3,53. Rekomendasi diberikan secara bertahap berdasarkan tingkat kematangan yang diperoleh dari hasil evaluasi yaitu tingkat kematangan 3 (defined) untuk dapat ditingkatkan ke tingkat kematangan 4 (managed and measurable), kemudian ditingkatkan lagi menuju tingkat kematangan ideal yaitu 5 (optimized). One of the main functions of Communications and Information Department of Denpasar is a public service application infrastructure management in Denpasar Government. Public services such as settlement services in Denpasar using the Administrasi Information System (SIAK) application which includes the manufacture of ID Card, Family Registers and a birth certificate. If the application infrastructure of public service is experiencing problems, it will greatly hamper the whole process that led to the people's complaints and decrease the level of public confidence. Therefore, an evaluation of internal audit in the form of public service application infrastructure was held so that the manager can do the planning for improvement and development of infrastructure that has been built. Audits carried out by using the COBIT 4.1 framework as controls. Based on the results of audits using COBIT 4.1 Maturity Model, obtained level of maturity in the process AI3 (Obtain and Maintain Infrastructure Technology) which is located on level 3 (defined).

Published: September 2017

We report a case of absent pituitary infundibulum and ectopic neurohypophysis in a 4-year-old patient presenting clinically with hypopituitarism as well as heterotaxy syndrome complicated by global developmental delay and growth retardation. The clinical and laboratory workup of our patient suggested underlying hypopituitarism related to either congenital or acquired pathology, necessitating MRI to distinguish between them. We explain the various structural causes of hypopituitarism and detail how to predict the MRI findings and treatment, based on a fundamental understanding of the anatomy and pathophysiology of the hypothalamic pituitary axis and distinguishing anterior versus posterior pituitary hormone derangements. We also discuss two important theories widely acknowledged in the literature to explain congenital hypopituitarism: 1. Head trauma typically during birth resulting in a stretch injury to the infundibulum. 2. Congenital fetal maldevelopment of midline structures.
Tracheal decellularization using a combination of chemical, physical and bioreactor methods
Authors: Tchoukalova Yourka D. , Hintze Justin M. , Hayden Richard E. , Lott David G. 
Published: October 2017

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare different decellularization protocols with the conventional detergent enzymatic method (DEM) using continuous agitation. Methods: The first experiment compared conventional DEM with sonication and lyophilization+freeze-thaw cycles. A second experiment was carried out to compare time-adjusted DEM (2-hour instead of 4-hour incubations with 4% deoxycholate) to decellularization in a bioreactor. Cellularity was determined by DNA-quantitation, H&E-staining and immunostaining for major histocompatibility complex-1 (MHC-1). Results: Compared to untreated trachea, DNA content significantly decreased after 2 cycles in all groups in the first experiment and dropped below the minimal criteria for efficient decellularization (<50 ng dsDNA/mg dry weight) after 4 cycles. However, nuclei were seen in the cartilage and MCH-1 staining was detected in some submucosal areas, indicating presence of chondrocytes and cellular residues that may render the scaffold immunogenic. In the second experiment DNA content significantly decreased after 1 cycle in both groups; however, even after 4 cycles, DNA content was above the minimal criteria for efficient decellularization. While collagen-levels remained stable, glycosaminoglycans diminished significantly after the initial cycles. Conclusions: Efficient decellularization can be achieved after only 4 cycles of DEM compared to the 17 cycles previously reported. The use of a bioreactor can preserve the integrity of the extracellular matrix.
Potential of fish scales as a filling material in surface coating of cellulosic paper
Authors: Ural Elif , Kandirmaz Emine A. 
Published: October 2017

Background: Paper is one of the important inputs for the printing industry, and the most important leading parameter in the printing process is its brightness. Brightness can be brought to paper using coatings and sizing. Desired surface properties and, most importantly, surface roughness can be achieved by changing the contents of the coating and sizing of the materials it contains. The use of biomaterials is becoming more important in the paper industry, as they represent substances with a lower carbon footprint. Fish scales are already used as a filling material, cosmetic material and fish food, as well as for determining the age of fish. Methods: Fish scales were brought to different sizes by a milling process. Paper formulations including different amounts of fish scales were prepared with fish scales, and coatings on raw paper were subjected to test printings in IGT-C1, with formulations and physical characteristics of coatings such as brightness, lightfastness, strength, adhesion etc. being determined. Results: Regarding the value of yellowness, mixtures of 2.5%-10% can be used. The maximum value of brightness was obtained from a mixture of 10%. Aging visibly changed the colors. Conclusions: The coatings obtained were brighter than the initial coating compositions. The top quality formulation was the coating with 5% medium-sized fish scale particles.
A Reflection on the Work of Gianni Bonadonna from the Viewpoint of the Global Challenge of Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer
Authors: Barr Ronald D. , Bleyer W. Archie 
Published: October 2017

Adolescents and young adults (AYAs – ages 15 to 39) constitute approximately 40% of the world's population and contribute an estimated one million new cases of cancer annually, the great majority in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In high-income countries (HICs) cancer is the commonest cause of disease-related death in AYAs, though overall 5-year survival rates now exceed 80%. A very different circumstance likely holds in LMICs, but accurate assessments are not readily available. Breast cancer accounts for 40% of tumours in female AYAs and this age group includes the peak incidence of Hodgkin lymphoma. The late Professor Gianni Bonadonna contributed importantly to improved survival in patients with these two diseases. Accordingly, he would be justifiably proud of the advances in AYA oncology that are being made in Italy, especially the impact of his colleagues at the Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori (INT). The initiatives of the Associazione Italiana Ematologia Pediatrica and the Società Italiana Adolescenti con Malattie Onco-ematologiche are particularly noteworthy, with the accomplishment of productive collaboration between paediatric and adult cancer care providers serving as a model for other countries to emulate. Exporting these advances can be successful through the vehicle of “twinning”: establishing sustainable cooperation between institutions in HICs and partners in LMICs. Colleagues in Monza and at INT have been leaders in such programmes for decades. Cancer in AYAs remains a global challenge to which Gianni Bonadonna surely would have risen with enthusiasm and leadership while securing measurable achievements.

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of 3G+wifi modems on human sperm quality. A total of 40 semen specimens were gathered between March and September 2015, from healthy adult men. Methods The sperm samples were divided into two groups – 3G+wi-fi exposed and unexposed groups. In the unexposed group, the specimens were shielded by aluminum foil in three layers and put into an incubator at a temperature of 37°C for 50 minutes. The exposed group was positioned in another room in an incubator at a temperature of 37°C for 50 minutes. A 3G+wi-fi modem was put into the same incubator and a laptop computer was connected to the modem and was downloading for the entire 50 minutes. Semen analysis was done for each specimen and comparisons between parameters of the two groups were done by using Kolmogorov-Smirnov study and a paired t-test. Results Mean percentage of sperm with class A and B motility were not significantly different in two groups (p = 0.22 and 0.54, respectively). In class C, it was significantly lower in the exposed group (p = 0.046), while in class D it was significantly higher (p = 0.022). Velocity curvilinear, velocity straight line, velocity average path, mean angular displacement, lateral displacement and beat cross frequency were significantly higher in the unexposed group. The limitation was the in vitro design. Conclusions Electromagnetic waves (EMWs) emitted from 3G+wi-fi modems cause a significant decrease in sperm motility and velocity, especially in non-progressive motile sperms. Other parameters of semen analysis did not change significantly. EMWs, which are used in communications worldwide, are a suspected cause of male infertility. Many studies evaluated the effects of cell phones and wi-fi on fertility. To our knowledge, no study has yet been done to show the effects of EMWs emitted from 3G+wi-fi modems on fertility. Our study revealed a significant decrease in the quality of human semen after exposure to EMWs emitted from 3G+wi-fi modems.

Moral Reasoning about Ending Life Revisited: Influences of Religiosity and Resilience
Authors: ATKINS CHRISTIANA D. , BURNETT HARVEY 
Published: October 2017

ABSTRACT
This study examined religiosity, resilience, and age across generation as predictors of moral reasoning and judgments about certain ending of life situations: suicide, physician-assisted suicide (PAS), active euthanasia (AE), and mercy killing (MK). Data was collected from undergraduate students attending a conservative Christian university in the Midwest as well as from an online community forum (N= 153). This study is a replication and expansion of a previous study.1 Measures included the questionnaire developed for Anstee's study, as well as the Christian Religious Internalization Scale, Response to Stressful Experiences Scale, and a demographic questionnaire. Linear regression analysis found identified (autonomous) religiosity as a predictor of moral reasoning and judgments, to the extent that ending of life scenarios are morally wrong. Resilience was found to be a predictor of moral judgments to the extent that MK is morally right. These findings suggest that the internalization of beliefs plays a considerable role in moral reasoning and judgments about ending of life issues. Understanding the role of mechanisms behind moral reasoning on ending of life issues is increasingly relevant as legislation is currently changing.
Individual and County Level Correlates of Medicaid Births in Michigan
Authors: SMITH PATRICIA K. 
Published: October 2017

ABSTRACT
Across Michigan the share of births covered by Medicaid varies widely, from a low of 15% in Menominee County to a high of 71% in Roscommon County in 2009 (Michigan League for Public Policy n.d.). This paper uses data on women who delivered a live infant in Michigan between 2009 and 2011 from Michigan's Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) matched to county level socioeconomic information to identify factors associated with the likelihood Medicaid is used to cover the medical costs of giving birth. The results suggest that strategies to reduce Medicaid births without reducing health care available to low-income women include stimulating economic growth and expanding access to family planning resources. This analysis does not find evidence that pro-marriage policies would reduce Medicaid births.
