Looking Back on “Queering the Center”
Authors: Scheman Naomi 
Published: March 2017

AbstractThe essay is a retrospective reflection on “Queering the Center by Centering the Queer: Reflections on Transsexuals and Secular Jews,” which critically explored the structures of normative intelligibility through a comparison of experiences of unintelligibility. Twenty years later, extraordinary progress has been made in rendering transsexual lives intelligible, in part by replacing invisibly professionally managed transformations with openly lived journeys. But core conceptual dichotomies that problematically set the terms of intelligibility remain entrenched—in particular, between determined facticity and ungrounded freedom—leading to some trans women's arguing that there is some core meaning of woman that as a matter of fact includes them, and others' defiantly claiming the right to self-identify as women freed from any shared social understanding of what that means. The essay suggests that there is more political hope in arguing against currently normative understandings of gender while struggling to find plural, often contentious, but interrelated, coalitional understandings that do justice to the wide range of gender's discontents.
Trans*feminist Intersections
Authors: simpkins reese 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
The author argues that trans* materialities are part of a trans*feminist politics of becoming-intersectional, which emphasizes the movement underlying identificatory processes. Articulating trans* as a dynamic movement of becoming-intersectional undermines both the normative construction of bounded categories and the identities that emerge from these processes, thereby allying trans*, feminist, and intersectional politics. Moreover, conceptualizing politics in this manner foregrounds the “categorical miscegenation” of both intersectional theorizing and trans* scholarship, and it contributes to ongoing conversations in both bodies of scholarship that are concerned with the ways in which categories operate politically. By highlighting the political stakes in the materialization of matter and the concomitant production of categories and identifications, a trans*feminist politics of becoming-intersectional foregrounds process over positionality and takes place at a fundamental level—at the level of materiality, where the ways in which matter materializes resonates politically.
Mortal Life of Trans/Feminism
Authors: Zengin Aslı 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This piece reflects on some ongoing tensions between cisgender women's and trans people's feminisms, suggesting specific frameworks to resolve these tensions into coalitional feminist organizing. To do that, the author draws on her ethnographic research and activist work in Turkey and proposes that a collective focus on the realm of death would bring feminist cis women and trans people together around a shared gender experience. In Turkey, the annual number of cis and trans women who are killed by cis men has been gradually increasing. This situation makes the availability of killing a shared gendered experience for cis women and trans people. Hence, organizing around the framework of “gender killings” would allow cis women and trans people to develop alliances to survive and transform the very material and symbolic conditions of their gender oppression.
Relay Network Design with Capacity and Link-Imbalance Considerations: A Lagrangean Decomposition Algorithm and Analysis
Authors: Kewcharoenwong Panitan , Üster Halit 
Published: March 2017

High driver turnover and driver shortage are costly problems in the truckload trucking industry. Extended on-the-road times and low quality of life with irregular schedules and low get-home rates for drivers are commonly attributed as the main culprits in both academic and industry literature. The use of a relay network on which the truckloads switch drivers during their transportation can potentially help reduce drivers’ away-from-home times and regularize their schedule without sacrificing the mileage accumulation on which their pay is determined. Relay network design involves the determination of the relay point (RP) locations, their interconnections, assignment of non-RP nodes to RPs, and the routes for truckloads. Recognizing the importance of considering operational realities such as empty mileage and driver availability along with limited resources, we introduce link capacity constraints and the concept of link imbalance in strategic relay network design. The use of link imbalance is motivated by the need to improve operational efficiency via increased ability to return drivers to their home bases and reduce empty backhauls. To solve our mixed-integer programming design model, we develop an efficient Lagrangean decomposition algorithm that can provide solutions to large-size problems with small optimality gaps within reasonable runtimes. We also present computational experiments on the algorithmic performance, trade-offs between imbalance and cost components, effects of capacity, and the relationship between link- and node-imbalance concepts.

Published: March 2017

<p style="text-align:justify">Critical thinking is seen as a highly desirable way of thinking that needs to be encouraged in all areas of higher education. However, it is not easy to conceptualise critical thinking in ways that can help in its development and in its assessment. Recent policy documents in Pakistan have laid emphasis on the development of critical thinking skills in higher education and The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan worked with USAID to publish new course guidance for Functional English, a mandatory course, as a part of introducing a revised four year BEd honours programme. The course includes aims like giving reasons to justify a view, distinguishing between fact and opinion and enabling students to develop argumentation skills. All these aims require students to develop skills involving questioning: asking questions of what is provided, who has provided it and what its meaning might be, key features of critical thinking.</p>

Published: March 2017

Background The G71R mutation in the UGT1A1 gene has beenassociated with neonatal jaundice and other cases of hereditary,unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in several Asian populations.Currently, DNA sequencing is the only method available toidentify the mutation, which can be time- and labor-intensive,particularly for such projects as population-based genetic studies.A relatively new method, denaturing high performance liquidchromatography (DHPLC), is increasingly used to detect variousmutations.Objective The aim of the present study was to investigate theability of DHPLC to detect the G71R mutation, in comparisonwith the gold standard of sequencing analysis.Methods Seventy-two infants were enrolled. Following genomicDNA extraction, exon 1 of the UGT1A1 gene was amplified bypolymerase chain reaction (PCR). Afterwards, the G71R mutationwas simultaneously, and blindly, determined in all subjects byDHPLC and sequence analysis. The performance of the DHPLCanalysis, compared to the sequence analysis, was assessed in termsof sensitivity and specificity.Results DHPLC detected the G71 R mutation in 31 individuals.Of these, 26 were heterozygous and 5 were homozygous for themutation. This method did not find the mutation in 41 otherindividuals. Sequence analysis produced identical results for allindividuals.Conclusion DHPLC analysis is capable of detecting the G71Rmutation in the UGT1A1 with a degree of sensitivity andspecificity (100% each) that is comparable to sequencing analysis.

Published: March 2017

Background Pre term infants contribute substantially to neonatalmorbidity and mortality rates. Somatic growth is consideredto be an important indicator of an infant's health status. Themeasurement parameters include body weight (BW), body length(BL), head circumference (HC), and ponderal index (PI). Specificdata on the somatic growth pattern of preterm infants in Indonesiaare unavailable.Objectives To identify the somatic pattern of preterm infantsuntil term age and the influence of gender, nutrition, and nursingmethod on BW, BL, HC, and PI growth during the first week oflife.Methods We recruited premature infants born in Sanglah Hopsital,Denpasar, Bali, and collected data on BW, BL, HC, and PI>All data were presented as mean (SD) and plotted in curves.The relationships among several factors and the somatic growthparameters were analyzed with ANOV A. The level of significancewas set at P < 0.05.Results Among 100 infants, significant differences were detectedin the mean ofBW, BL, HC, and PI, particularly in early preterminfants. Breastfed infants had the highest values with BW 2199grams (SD 198), HC 31.4 em (SD 1.71), and PI 2.48 grams/cm 3(SD 0.36). Infants nursed with the kangaroo method had thehighest values of BW [2450 grams (SD 259)] and BL [48 em(SD 2.34)].Conclusion A significant difference was detected in somaticgrowth according to some parameters, particularly in the earlypreterm infants group. Thus, breast feeding and the kangaroomethod contribute to better somatic growth, and specifically BW.

Published: March 2017

Background The association between Mycobacterium tuberculosisinfection and atopy remains controversial. Reaction to tuberculosisinfection is mediated by Th-1 immune responses whereas allergicreactions are mediated by Th- 2 immune response. In patients withatopic syndrome who also suffer from tuberculosis infection, theTh-2 response will be suppressed and allergy manifestations willdecrease. Therefore, it is important to determine the appropriateallergy test and to predict outcome after completing tuberculosistreatment.Objective To evaluate the influence of a positive tuberculin teston skin test results in diagnosing atopic disease.Methods A cross sectional study was conducted in the pediatricallergy outpatient clinic, Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesiabetween 2004 and 2007. Eighty-five patients were enrolled inthis study. The tuberculin test was performed on all patientswith allergy. The allergy test was carried out by performing a skinscratch test.Results There was a weak inverse correlation between positivetuberculin tests and positive allergy skin tests in children (housedust mite, food and pet allergies). The correlation between apositive tuberculin test and house dust mite allergy test wasr: -0.364 (P=O.OOl; a=O.Ol). The correlation between thetuberculin test and food allergies was r: -0.420 (P=O.OOl;a=O.Ol). The correlation between the tuberculin test and petallergies was r: -0.344 (P= 0.001; a=O.Ol).Conclusions A positive tuberculin test is weakly correlated withpositive allergy skin test results, suggesting that it is appropriate todo allergy skin testing even in children with a positive tuberculintest.

Published: March 2017

Background Obesity has become a major health problem globally, indicates as an epidemic problem by World Health Organization (WHO). Adiposity rebound period may represent critical period for the development of adiposity. Recent data suggest that, in industrialized countries, people of low socioeconomic group are more likely to be obese than their high socioeconomic counterparts. Level of serum leptin was reported to be higher in obese subjects. There has been lack of data regarding leptin serum level in Indonesian obese children.Objective This study aimed to investigate leptin serum level in low socioeconomic obese children. Methods This was a cross sectional study perfonned in Tuminting District, Manado. Obesity was defined based on body mass index for Asia􀁇Pacific condition, i.e., grade I obesity (BMI 25/29.9 kg/ mL), grade II (BM] 30-40 kg/ml), and grade III (BM] > 40 kg/m2 Low socioeconomic status was detennined based on Government's program Cash Direct Aid Program. loBod sample was obtained from inclusion subjects, consisted of leptin serum.Results Fifty􀁇two low socioeconomic obese children were eligible \\lith age ranged between 5 to 7 years. They were divided into grade ] obesity (43 or 82.7%), and grade II (9 or 17.3%). The lowest leptin blood level was 10,291 pg/mL, while the highest was 41,500 pg/dL. All girls had nonnal serum leptin level; in contrast all boys had increased serum leptin level. Conclusions Leprin level increased in those subjects whose BMI increased.

Published: March 2017

Background Obesity is a low level and chronic inflammatory condition predominantly affecting white adipose tissue, where macrophage infiltration is found. Leptin is one of many molecules relating obesity to cardiovascular disease. Leptin can increase cytokine production in macrophages and monocytes, and increase oxidative stress on endothelial cells. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, in turn, may trigger the release of C-reactive protein.Objective To examine the correlation between leptin and hsCRP in obese children aged 9-15 years.Methods This cross-sectional study was done in Manado from May to December 2009, on elementary and junior high school children. Subjects were obese children aged 9-15 years, with nutritional status detennined by Body Mass Index and converted into z-score. Physical examination, blood pressure, and blood examinations for fasting blood sugar (FBS), lipid profile, leptin, and hsCRP were perfonned. Data were analyzed with appropriate statistical methods.Results The mean leptin level in obese children was 34,009.2 pgiL (SD 18,224.79), higher than that of the control, 7,760.9 pgiL (SD 8,859.55) (P<0.0001). The mean hsCRP level in obese children was 3.6 mgiL (SD 3.60), higher than that of the control, 0.7 mgiL (SD 1.32) (<0.0001). There was a significant positive correlation between leptin and hsCRP levels in obese children (r 􀀁 0.355; P<0.0001).Conclusions There is significant positive correlation between leptin and hsCRP levels in obese children aged 9-15 years. Increased leptin and hsCRP levels indicate a low degree of chronic inflammation. Thus, intervention is needed to decrease the body weight of obese children.
Signet ring cell carcinoma of the colon in a 10 year-old boy
Authors: Irene Irene , Ariawati Ketut 
Published: March 2017

Signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC), a variant of adenocarcinoma, is defined by the presence of more than 50% of tumor cells with prominent intracytoplasmic mucin.1 Primary gastrointestinal malignancies constitute only 1% of pediatric neoplasms and 0.34% take the form of colon carcinoma. It is a very rare disease in persons under 17 years of age, 94% of which is found in children> 9 years of age. [.4 In contrast to adults, approximately50% of colon carcinoma cases in children are the highly malignant mucin'producing adenocarcinoma type.4 The typical signet-ring cell has a large mucin vacuole that fills the cytoplasm and pushes the nuclei to the side, thereby giving the cells their signature histologic appearance.S,6 Carcinoma of the colon during childhood has been associated with familialpolyposis and ulcerative colitis. However, carcinoma arising de novo is the most common type.2,3 Risk factors include a high caloric diet rich in animal fat, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, alcohol consumption, low vegetable fibre consumption, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and polymorphism in key enzymes of injurious compounds.s

Published: March 2017

Background Severe iron overload due to recurrent transfusions for chronic anemia and inadequate iron chelation therapy in thalassemia major patients result in various complications, including hypothyroidism. Currently, there has been no data on the prevalence of hypothyroidism in thalassemia major patients at the Thalassemia Centers, Department of Child Health, CiptoMangunkusumo Hospital (DCH CMH).Objective To study the prevalence of primary hypothyroidism in thalassemia major patients in the Thalassemia Center, DCH MCH.Methods We performed a cross-sectional, descriptive study. All thalassemia major subjects aged O􀁬18 years with severe iron overload underwent thyroid functionexamination. Primary hypothyroidism was defined as either normal (compensated) or decreased (decompensated) free T4 (FT4) levels, along with elevated sensitive thyroid􀁬stimulatinghonnone (TSH)levels. Results 179 subjects enrolled this study Mth male: female ratio of 1: 1.6. The prevalence of primary hypothyroidism in thalassemia majorpatients Mth severe iron overloadws26.8% (48/179). Of those 48,45 had compensated hypothyroidism and 3 had decompensated hypothyroidism, 25.1% and 1.7% of the total subjects, respectively. Compensated hypothyroidism was observed in 17 subjects aged ≤1O years and in 28 subjects aged> 10 years. All 3 decompensated hypothyroidism cases were> 10 years of age. No relationship was found between the occurrence of primary hypothyroidism and mean pre-tr811sfusion Hb levels (P=0.481, OR 1.30; 95% CI 0.63 to 2.68), elevated serum ferritin levels (P=0.74, OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.46 to 1.75), and compliance to iron chelation therapy (P=0.570, OR 0.76; 95% CI 035 to 1.65). Based on multivariate analysis, only age of <10 year-old (P=O.029, OR 0.469; 95% CI 0.23 to 0.93) was significantly associated Mth primary hypJthyroidism. Further analysis using receiver operator curve (ROC) technique found that age of 8.5 year-old was the cutoff value to predict the risk of hypothyroidism. Conclusion The prevalence of primary hypothyroidism in our study is high. The occurrence of hypothyroidism is associated with age.

Published: March 2017

Background Reusing endotracheal tubes (EITs) has been performed in Indonesia with no evidence of its safety. Objective To evaluate sterility, as well as the mechanical, surface, and matrix properties of reused EITs following 2 different reprocessing procedures.Methods Reused EITs were cleaned and disinfected, then sterilized by ethylene oxide gas sterilization (group A) or dry heat sterilization (group B). New EITs were used as the standard for comparison. Microbes were identified and microbial counts were determined as colony forming units (CFUs). Evaluation of mechanical properties was perfonned by a Universal Testing machine. All samples underwent tensile and compression tests.Load defonnation curves were recorded from F max and strain at F max. Microstructure analysis was done using X􀁅ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX).Results Positive cultures of commensal bacteria were found in 2/12 samples in group A, and 5/17 samples in group B. T here was no statistically significant difference between them (P =0.07). Pseudomonas aeruginosa or other common pathogens were not found. Samples from both groups showed equal flaccidity, compared to the standard. Surface microstructure analysis of reused EITs 'With XPS and EDX showed degradation of the matrixcomponent. SEM analysis detected some large particles and fissures. EDX analysis on the large particles detected sodium and calcium signals. Altogether, signs of contamination and material damage were very strong.Conclusion Both reprocessing methods of reused EITs gave comparable results on sterility and mechanical behavior, but reprocessing may cause decreased surface and matrix quality.
Clinical manifestations in semilobar holoprosencephaly
Authors: Elisa Elisa , Putranti A. H. , Mulyono E. 
Published: March 2017

Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a brain malformation caused by a primary defect in induction and patterning of the rostral neurotube (basal forebrain) during the first 4 weeks of embryogenesis. T his defect results in incomplete separation of the cerebral hemispheres.Based on the degree of hemispheric nonseparation, HPE traditionally has been classified into three types: alobar, semilobar, and lobar.! In 1963, DeMyer et al. mentioned that defects in brain development may frequently coexist with abnormalities on the midfacial region. T he median facio-cerebral anomalies appear in various associated gradations and combinations.When combined in patterns, these facies always predict a severe, highly characteristic brain anomaly.2
