Published: March 2017

Inerter is a recent advancement in vehicle suspension that have been shown to be capable of improving vehicle ride comfort, however its ride improvement is less encouraging in the parallel layout. This study investigated the possibility of further ride improvement brought by vehicle suspensions with a switchable parallel inerter instead. In this theoretical study, the inerter was assumed to be on-off switchable based on semi-active force cancellation strategy. A two-degree-of-freedom quarter vehicle model was used to evaluate several cases of suspension system, which included ordinary passive suspension as reference, a system with switchable inerter and a system with both switchable damper and inerter. The model was solved mathematically with random road profile and step profile as ground excitations. Results showed that the use of switchable inerter in parallel to spring and damper in the different test cases was capable of reducing vertical sprung mass acceleration by a healthy 12 %, which is far superior to a mere 2 % achieved by a passive parallel inerter, as well as comparable to that achieved by a switchable damper. When both sprung mass acceleration and dynamic tire load were considered, comparison made on the Pareto fronts indicated that the switchable capability of an inerter managed to further improve the Pareto optimal sets over those obtained for cases with passive inerter.

Firstly, this paper computed the static and dynamic characteristics of common boring bars and constrained damping boring bars respectively, and the correctness of the computational model in time-frequency domain was also validated by experiments. Modal frequencies of constrained damping boring bars were obviously more than those of common boring bars, which could effectively avoid structural resonance in low frequency and had an obvious advantage in improving anti-vibration performance of boring bars. The absolute value of the maximum vibration acceleration of common boring bars was 13.1 m/s2, while the absolute value of the maximum vibration acceleration of constrained damping boring bars was 9.1 m/s2. The maximum vibration acceleration decreased by 30.5 %. The maximum vibration displacement of common boring bars was 5.2 mm and corresponding frequency was 201 Hz. The maximum vibration displacement of constrained damping boring bars was 2.3 mm and corresponding frequency was 235 Hz. When the analyzed frequency was lower than the frequency with the maximum vibration displacement, the displacement spectrum of common boring bars had more peak values. Thus, it was clear that constrained damping boring bars had an obvious advantage in improving vibration characteristics. The impact of cutting speed, feed rate and back cutting depth on vibration characteristics was studied respectively. Results showed that the vibration of constrained damping boring bars gradually decreased with the increase of cutting speed and gradually increased with the increase of feed rate and back cutting depth. In addition, the amplitude and frequency of vibration displacement spectrum of boring bars were basically unchanged no matter how cutting parameters changed. In order to quickly predict the vibration characteristic, BP neural network and PSO-BP neural network were respectively used to predict the cutting process of boring bars. When the iteration number of BP neural network was 300, iterative error was 0.00015 which was far more than the set target error. When the iteration number of PSO-BP neural network was 215, iterative error was converged to the set target error. Therefore, PSO-BP neural network had an obvious advantage in predicting the cutting process of boring bars. In addition, the predicted result of PSO-BP neural network was consistent with the experimental result, which showed that the neural network model in this paper was effective.

Published: March 2017

Background:
Research into gold-based drugs for a range of human diseases has seen a
revival in recent years. This article reviews the most important applications of gold products in different
fields of human pathology. Au(I) and Au(III) compounds have been re-introduced in clinical
practice for targeting the cellular components involved in the onset and progression of viral and
parasitic diseases, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer.

Results:
After some brief historical notes, this article takes into account the applications of gold
compounds against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and also in tuberculosis and in rheumatoid arthritis
treatment. The use of gold containing drugs in the cure of cancer are then considered, with special
emphasis to the use of nanoparticles and to the photo-thermal cancer therapy. The use of colloidal
gold in diagnostics, introduced in the last decade is widely discussed. As a last point a survey
on the adverse effects and on the toxicity of the various gold derivatives in use in medicine is
presented.

Conclusion:
In this review, we described the surprisingly broad spectrum of possible uses of gold
in diagnostics and in therapeutic approaches to multiple human diseases, ranging from degenerative
to infectious diseases, and to cancer. In particular, gold nanoparticles appear as attractive elements
in modern clinical medicine, combining high therapeutic properties, high selectivity in targeting
cancer cells and low toxicity.

Published: March 2017

Background:
Autophagy is a physiological pathway characterized by lysosomedependent
self-digestion to recycle damaged or superfluous cellular content. Deregulation of autophagy
hampers the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and contributes to tumorigenesis. However,
during anticancer therapy, autophagy activation contributes to development of resistance. Thus autophagy
has been recognized as an important pathway and a therapeutic target in cancer. Nephroblastoma
(Wilm's tumor) is a common childhood malignancy. The role of autophagy in nephroblastoma
is largely uninvestigated.

Objective:
This study is to investigate the change of autophagy level in nephroblastoma, and whether
autophagy could be a therapeutic target in anaplastic nephroblastoma.

Method:
In clinical samples of childhood nephroblastoma, autophagy activity was evaluated by the
expressions of selected autophagy markers as well as the presence of autophagosome ultrastructure.
Use of autophagy inhibitors alone and in combination with conventional chemotherapeutics, was
studied both in vivo and in vitro.

Results:
In nephroblastoma, there was decrease in the Beclin 1 level and the number of autophagosomes,
suggesting autophagy inhibition. Furthermore, in two anaplastic nephroblastoma cell
lines, G401 and SK-NEP1, autophagy inhibitors further enhanced the efficacy of conventional chemotherapeutics
including vincristine and cisplatin. In G401 tumor model established in nude mice,
combinational use of chloroquine, an inhibitor of autophagy degradation, further decreased the tumor
mass compared with single use of the chemotherapeutics vindesine, although no statistical significance
was achieved.

Conclusion:
Our results suggest that autophagy deregulation is involved in nephroblastoma, and
targeting autophagy can serve as a potential adjuvant strategy for the highly malignant cases.

Background: It is a fact that natrium consumption relates to hypertension and the risk of heart disease and stroke. Even though it is common happened in later life, hypertension can be started in early age.Objective: The aim of the study is to identify salty food preference, high natrium food consumption, natrium intake, weight and its correlation with blood pressure among schoolchildren.Method: The study used cross-sectional design. There were 151 samples from junior high school chosen by purposive sampling. Food salty level data was assessed by eating the snack with three different salt concentration. High and low natrium source food and natrium intake data were taken using semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Blood pressure was measured by sphygmomanometer digital. Bivariate analysis was used Chi-square and Rank Spearman test.Results: The study revealed that 74,2% children prefer snack with the salt level above recommendation (> 0,5 gr salt per portion ). There were 22,5% children have natrium intake from food only ≥2000 mg (above recommendation). As much as 35,8% children fall into hypertension category based on their blood pressure (BP) level. There was a significant relationship between high natrium food consumption score with natrium intake (p=0,002). There were significant correlation between weight with systolic and diastolic BP ((p=0,000 r=-0,549 and p=0,000 r=-0,412). There were no correlation between atrium intake with systolic and diastolic BP (p=0,764; r= 0,0025 and p=0,819 r=0,19).Conclusion: Healthy food and maintaining normal weight information and education must be done for children as early as possible.

Background: Children with stunning as the accumulations of the lack of nutrient or continuous infection are highly at risk to suffer from illness and death. In developing country, there are 165 million children under the age of suffering from stunting. Research done showed that nationally stunting prevalence in 2013 is 37,2 percent. West Borneo is one of the twenty provinces with the stunting prevalence above the national average. During the growth period, children need calcium, especially for ossification. The lack of calcium is mainly caused by inadequate intake and or non-optimal calcium absorption. Some of the previous research has shown that the level of calcium serum of children with stunting has significantly lowered than the normal children.Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the calcium serum level of the children with stunting aged 24-59 months in Pontianak City.Method: This study is a cross-sectional design. It conducted in East Pontianak and North Pontianak subdistricts, from July to August 2015. A number of samples were 90 children. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square, t-test, and logistic regression.Results: There was no significance in serum calcium level between stunting and nonstunting children (p=0,193). The average of the calcium serum level of the stunting children was 12,14±1,97 mg/dl, while the nonstunting children were 12,16±1,63 mg/dl. The t-test showed that there was no significant difference (p=0,966).Conclusion: There is no significant difference of the calcium serum level between the stunting and nonstunting children aged 24- 59 months in Pontianak City (p=0,193).

A Keleti-Bakony triász időszaki vulkanogén képződményeinek petrográfiai vizsgálata és képződési körülményeik értelmezése
Authors: Farics Éva , Józsa Sándor 
Published: March 2017

A Tethys közép-európai triász időszaki fejlődéstörténetének nyomozása az egymástól távolabbi területeken található nem vulkanogén üledékes kőzetek összehasonlító vizsgálatával régóta eredményesen zajlik. A térben és időben is sokkal változatosabb kifejlődésű vulkanogén képződmények ezirányú vizsgálatában rejlő lehetőségek még messze nincsenek kihasználva. Ennek leginkább az lehet az oka, hogy ezeknek a hazai kőzeteknek a részletes kőzettani leírása még nem történt meg. Ladin vulkanogén törmelékes képződmények a Dunántúli-középhegységen belül a Keleti-Bakony területéről ismertek. Az itt található középső–késő-triász vulkanogén kőzetek részletes petrográfiai vizsgálata lehetőséget teremtett arra, hogy kőzettani alapon is összevessük más hasonló korú, képződésük idején egymáshoz sokkal közelebb elhelyezkedett Dunántúli-középhegységben és Déli-Alpokban megtalálható vulkáni képződményekkel.A vizsgált keleti-bakonyi összletek az inotai Hideg-völgy útbevágásában lévő egykori felszíni feltárásban, valamint a Várpalota Vpt–3 és a Bakonykúti Bút–2 fúrások anyagában tanulmányozhatók. A vulkanogén összlet két részre tagolható: az alsó részben uralkodóan vulkanit törmelékszemcsékből álló, szenesedett növénymaradványt és elszórtan crinoidea váztöredékeket tartalmazó finomszemcsés üledékes kőzetet, fölül vulkanit- és mészkőkavicsokat nagy mennyiségben tartalmazó, Daonella vázelemekben gazdag durvaszemcsés rétegcsoportot találhatunk. A vulkáni törmelék szemcsék között döntően intermedier (andezit), kisebb mennyiségben bázisos (bazaltsalak, bazalt és mikrodolerit) és savanyú (riolit, aplit) vulkanitok és ezekhez kapcsolódó kristálytörmelékek jelennek meg.A vulkanogén összlet forrását olyan középső- és felső-triász vulkáni kőzetek (bázisos-intermedier lávakőzetek és freatomagmás kitörések termékei) szolgáltatták, melyeknek mai rokon képviselői a Dunántúli-középhegységben (legközelebb a balatonfői területen), de legnagyobb kiterjedésben a vele ezen időszakban szomszédos Déli-Alpokban fordulnak elő. A felső vulkanogén konglomerátum / kavicsos homokkő képződésére jó analógia a déli-alpi Wengeni Formáció és Marmoladai Konglomerátum keletkezése. E formációk nagy vastagságú törmelékes összlete szárazulatra került, döntően mészkő és bázisos-intermedier kőzetek lepusztulásával, majd tenger alatti tömegmozgásokkal üledékgyűjtő medencékbe történő felhalmozódásával keletkezett. Az alsó vulkanogén homokkő keletkezése ettől némiképp eltér. Bázisos-intermedier összetételű törmelékanyaga első lépésben sekélytengeri/szárazföldi környezetben freatomagmás kitörés eredményeként halmozódott fel, majd közvetlen ezután tenger alatti lejtő mentén történő áthalmozódás után ülepedett le véglegesen.
The impact of colonisation on te reo Māori: A critical review of the State education system
Authors: Ka'ai-Mahuta Rachael 
Published: March 2017

By 1979, merely 139 years after the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi), the loss of te reo Māori was so great that it was believed it would suffer language death (Walker 1990: 147-148). This can be attributed to colonisation and the State policy of assimilation which eroded the status of the language. The mechanism of the Government’s agenda of assimilation and language domination was the State education system. This was, therefore, the primary cause of Māori language loss. In some cases the legislation regarding the State education system can be directly linked to language loss. However, in many cases the education system has negatively affected te reo Māori indirectly through aspects of Eurocentric education. These include assimilation, cultural invasion, cultural subordination, language domination, hegemony, the curriculum, class structures, racism, meritocracy, intelligence testing, and negative teacher expectations.

In the study of Māori language decline one must critically review the New Zealand State education system, including a discussion of the key events and legislation in the history of Pākehā colonisation and assimilation in Aotearoa/New Zealand. This will form the chronological map of the deterioration of the status of the Māori language.
The use of digital technology in the preservation of Māori song
Authors: Ka'ai-Mahuta Rachael 
Published: March 2017

This paper will focus on the importance of digitally archiving waiata and haka (Māori song, chant and dance). Māori arrived in Aotearoa from their traditional homeland in the Pacific carrying with them all of the knowledge of their own ancestors, none of which was written down. This Māori oral tradition has taken on many forms, including waiata and haka. Waiata and haka are traditional mediums for the transmission of knowledge including tribal history, politics, historical landmarks, genealogy and environmental knowledge while also acting as traditional forms of expression for the articulation of anger, hatred, sadness, love and desire.
Waiata and haka are examples of Māori poetry and literature and have been likened to the archives of the Māori people, preserving important historical and cultural knowledge. Therefore, waiata and haka offer an alternative view of the history of Aotearoa/New Zealand to those that are based on mainstream Eurocentric history books and archives. Waiata and haka are also important for the survival of the Māori language and culture. In this sense, they are bound to Māori identity.
As a result of colonisation many of these compositions are being lost through time and with them, a knowledge base regarding the meaning behind the words. The adoption of digital technology to preserve waiata and haka provides a tool that could aid the oral tradition. Tāmata Toiere, a digital repository of waiata and haka, is a national resource which demonstrates the interface between recovering traditional knowledge and storing this through innovative technology for future generations.
RELIGION, MARGINALITY AND POWER RELATIONS: RELIGIOUS CONVERSION AND RELIGIOSITY OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN PENYENGAT
Authors: Ansor Muhammad , Masyhur Laila Sari 
Published: March 2017

Using a theory of power relation of Michel Foucault, the following research analyzes the behavior of religious conversion in the community of the Indigenous People of Anak Rawa in Penyengat Village, Siak District, hereinafter referred to as the Native People. The research will show that in the middle of the domination of the State and theologians, the community of Indigenous People actualizes power to maintain its identity in the midst of the invasion of new values and culture. To support the argument, the researchers traced the religiosity of the Indigenous People focusing on several events of everyday life such as traditions of marriage, death, and celebration of religious holidays. In addition to adapting to the country’s religious traditions they have adopted, this community also modifies the ritual traditions of each religion so that these traditions become a means of preserving their communal identity as a native tribe. The research ultimately shows the interplay between the State and theologians as the dominant group, on the one hand, and the indigenous community as a subjugated group, on the other, in the use of power.
