High performance of amidoxime/amine functionalized polypropylene for uranyl (VI) from aqueous solution
Authors: Chi Fangting , Xiong Jie , Hu Sheng , Hou Jingwei , Gu Mei , Han Jun 
Published: May 2014

Abstract Amidoxime-based adsorbents are widely investigated as the main adsorbent in the recovery of uranium from seawater. However, the adsorption rate and loading capacity of such adsorbents should be further improved due to the economic viability consideration. In this paper, the adsorption properties of amidoxime-based adsorbent were enhanced through the cografting of amino groups. The acrylonitrile (AN) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) were firstly cografted onto polypropylene fibers by preirradiation grafting technique. Then the cografted fibers were treated with ethylenediamine to convert GMA to amino group, following treated with hydroxylamine to convert AN groups to amidoxime (AO) group. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and contact angle measurement were used to characterize the structure of the adsorbent. The results showed that the amidoxime and amino groups had been successfully grafted onto the polypropylene fibers. For AO fiber, high adsorption rate was observed within the first 30 min and the plateau value of 42.3% uranium loading (0.0904mg/g) was reached at around 30 min. The AO/amine fibers exhibited a higher adsorption rate. The adsorption equilibrium for AO/amine fiber was attained within 20 min, resulting in the adsorption of 93.3% uranium loading (0.191mg/g). Additionally, AO/amine fibers can avoid pH reducing for better adsorption efficiency.
Immune-modulating effects of alpha-1 antitrypsin
Authors: Ehlers Mario R. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is a circulating serine protease inhibitor (serpin) that inhibits neutrophil elastase in the lung, and AAT deficiency is associated with early-onset emphysema. AAT is also a liver-derived acute-phase protein that, in vitro and in vivo, reduces production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, inhibits apoptosis, blocks leukocyte degranulation and migration, and modulates local and systemic inflammatory responses. In monocytes, AAT has been shown to increase intracellular cAMP, regulate expression of CD14, and suppress NFκB nuclear translocation. These effects may be mediated by AAT’s serpin activity or by other protein-binding activities. In preclinical models of autoimmunity and transplantation, AAT therapy prevents or reverses autoimmune disease and graft loss, and these effects are accompanied by tolerogenic changes in cytokine and transcriptional profiles and T cell subsets. This review highlights advances in our understanding of the immune-modulating effects of AAT and their potential therapeutic utility.
Experimentally observed responses to humor are related to individual differences in emotion perception and regulation in everyday life
Authors: Papousek Ilona , Schulter Günter , Lackner Helmut K. , Samson Andrea , Freudenthaler H. Harald 
Published: May 2014

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the relevance of an individual's typical emotion perception and emotion regulation behavior to his or her responsiveness to humor. This was studied behaviorally by examining responses to different types of humorous stimuli in an experimental paradigm, in a sample of n = 54 participants aged between 18 to 41 years (29 women, 25 men). Individual differences in emotion perception and regulation were assessed by relevant subscales of an established self-report instrument. Higher scores on emotion perception were related to higher amusement ratings in response to the humorous stimuli. Higher scores on emotion regulation were associated with shorter response latencies for the amusement ratings, particularly when it was important to mentalize with the characters in the cartoons in order to understand the humor. The cognitive understanding of the humor was unaffected. The findings suggest that good emotion perception and emotion regulation skills may contribute to greater humor responsiveness in everyday life, which may be an adaptive trait promoting successful functioning and resilience.
A New Harmonic Mitigation Scheme for MMC – An Experimental Approach
Authors: Madichetty S. , Dasgupta A. , Jinka S. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
A multilevel converter has been brought into limelight in this article, however, particular attention has been provided to the form and function of modular multilevel converter (MMC) with new design, control and harmonic mitigation schemes. A new controller scheme has been proposed to mitigate the lower and higher order harmonics. The proposed scheme shows its effectiveness by theoretical calculations, verified by simulation and experimental results. Till date, research in this field is very limited with circulating currents and harmonics as the major problem. This article effectively addresses the problem with prototype 1 kVA implementation and attempts to make a detailed analysis with their functions in comprehensive manner with high-voltage DC application under different conditions. Also, the applicability of zero voltage switching at turn ON and zero current transition at turn OFF has been verified experimentally. The strategic conclusions on MMC have been made in order to make the system more robust in operation, less complexity in design and control.
The Living Well Lab: a community-based HIV/AIDS research initiative
Authors: Mulkins Andrea L. , Ibáñez-Carrasco Francisco , Boyack Dave , Verhoef Marja J. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract

Background: Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is becoming a pillar in the rehabilitative efforts for many living with HIV/AIDS. A community-based research program called the Living Well Lab (LWL) was established in 2007, operating out of Friends For Life (FFL), a non-profit wellness center in Vancouver, Canada offering free CAM therapies to people living with HIV/AIDS. Therapies range from naturopathy to yoga. The LWL partnered with academic and community organizations to evaluate CAM use and changes in health and quality of life outcomes of FFL’s HIV+ members.

Methods: A longitudinal, combined methods approach assessed the health- and quality-of-life-related outcomes and experiences of CAM users. Participants completed outcome packages (5 time points) over 18 months, which focused on changes in physical and emotional states, satisfaction with services and social support. Interviews were conducted at baseline, 9- and 18-month time points. Quantitative analyses were descriptive while content analysis and thematic coding were used in the qualitative analysis.

Results: Two hundred and seven members enrolled in the LWL. Quantitative data demonstrated improvement in mental and physical wellbeing, social support and patient satisfaction specifically: SF-12, Arizona Integrative Outcomes Scale and three visual analog scales (stress, pain and energy). Participants felt several factors contributed to these changes such as managing anxiety, accepting their illness, learning to relax, an increased capacity for self-care and social support.

Conclusions: CAM use may be associated with changes to physical, social and mental wellbeing. Issues throughout the study provided important lessons for future research.
Visualizing the Art of Dying in Early Protestant Scandinavia: A Reading of a Late Sixteenth-Century Tapestry from Leksvik, Norway
Authors: Aavitsland Kristin B. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The article offers a close reading of a remarkable late 16-th century tapestry from Leksvik Church in Norway. Abounding with biblical quotations in Danish, the tapestry represents a dying man surrounded by personifications of virtues. The author considers this artifact a visualized ars moriendi, and shows how the tapestry’s iconography draws on standard metaphors from contemporary consolatory literature. Furthermore, the tapestry’s visual rhetoric alludes to, interplays with, and, at times, contradicts the late medieval conventions for visualizing the good death. By modulating a long-established deathbed iconography, the visual language of the Leksvik tapestry subtly steer towards a new, Protestant interpretation on the ideal death.
The Ever-Present Death Behind the Church Door: On the Funeral Bier and Its Emblematic Qualities
Authors: Wangsgaard Jürgensen Martin 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article takes its point of departure in the precautions taken by the early modern Lutheran Church in order to insure that, at least in principle, all parishioners had a chance to face death, once the end was approaching, prepared. More explicitly, the article addresses how the early modern parishioner faced death each time he or she entered the local church. A specific item – the funeral bier – is to be the focal point and the lens through which the manner of the Church’s preparation of parishioners for death is discussed.
The semiotics of undesirable bodies: Transnationalism, race culture, abjection
Authors: Goh Robbie B. H. 
Published: May 2014

AbstractContemporary transnational migration has given rise to a new ideology and semiotics of the foreign body – one that draws on the cognitive field of the primitive, marked, and abjected body. This foreign body is carefully differentiated from both the sphere of the local/national, and the “expatriate” professional who by virtue of economic and cultural capital is desired and assimilated into the local sphere. An aspiring cosmopolitan and global city-state like Singapore shows this semiotic differentiation to quite a marked degree, in the policies and discourses of barely-tolerated and abjected foreign workers whose racially-marked bodies are highlighted by typologies of violence, disease, sexuality (particularly in aberrant or promiscuous form), and mob assemblies. The semiotics of the foreign body in Singapore is also evident in other racial-cultural fissures elsewhere, including in countries with multicultural reputations such as Australia, and countries like the U.S., U.K. and France that are struggling to cope with large migrant communities of Middle-Eastern and South Asian peoples.
The History of the AutoChemist®: From Vision to Reality
Authors: Peterson H. E. , Jungner I. 
Published: May 2014

Summary
Objectives: This paper discusses the early history and development of a clinical analyser system in Sweden (AutoChemist, 1965). It highlights the importance of such high capacity system both for clinical use and health care screening. The device was developed to assure the quality of results and to automatically handle the orders, store the results in digital form for later statistical analyses and distribute the results to the patients’ physicians by using the computer used for the analyser.
Results: The most important result of the construction of an analyser able to produce analytical results on a mass scale was the development of a mechanical multi-channel analyser for clinical laboratories that handled discrete sample technology and could prevent carry-over to the next test samples while incorporating computer technology to improve the quality of test results. The AutoChemist could handle 135 samples per hour in an 8-hour shift and up to 24 possible analyses channels resulting in 3,200 results per hour. Later versions would double this capacity. Some customers used the equipment 24 hours per day.
Conclusions: With a capacity of 3,000 to 6,000 analyses per hour, pneumatic driven pipettes, special units for corrosive liquids or special activities, and an integrated computer, the AutoChemist system was unique and the largest of its kind for many years. Its follower – The AutoChemist PRISMA (PRogrammable Individually Selective Modular Analyzer) – was smaller in size but had a higher capacity. Both analysers established new standards of operation for clinical laboratories and encouraged others to use new technologies for building new analysers.
Genome Properties and Prospects of Genomic Prediction of Hybrid Performance in a Breeding Program of Maize
Authors: Technow Frank , Schrag Tobias A , Schipprack Wolfgang , Bauer Eva , Simianer Henner , Melchinger Albrecht E 
Published: May 2014

AbstractMaize (Zea mays L.) serves as model plant for heterosis research and is the crop where hybrid breeding was pioneered. We analyzed genomic and phenotypic data of 1254 hybrids of a typical maize hybrid breeding program based on the important Dent × Flint heterotic pattern. Our main objectives were to investigate genome properties of the parental lines (e.g., allele frequencies, linkage disequilibrium, and phases) and examine the prospects of genomic prediction of hybrid performance. We found high consistency of linkage phases and large differences in allele frequencies between the Dent and Flint heterotic groups in pericentromeric regions. These results can be explained by the Hill–Robertson effect and support the hypothesis of differential fixation of alleles due to pseudo-overdominance in these regions. In pericentromeric regions we also found indications for consistent marker–QTL linkage between heterotic groups. With prediction methods GBLUP and BayesB, the cross-validation prediction accuracy ranged from 0.75 to 0.92 for grain yield and from 0.59 to 0.95 for grain moisture. The prediction accuracy of untested hybrids was highest, if both parents were parents of other hybrids in the training set, and lowest, if none of them were involved in any training set hybrid. Optimizing the composition of the training set in terms of number of lines and hybrids per line could further increase prediction accuracy. We conclude that genomic prediction facilitates a paradigm shift in hybrid breeding by focusing on the performance of experimental hybrids rather than the performance of parental lines in testcrosses.
In Search of an Islamic Leader: Malay Perceptions of Ibn Sa’ūd Triumph and the Domination of the Waḥḥābīs in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Othman Mohammad Redzuan 
Published: May 2014

Since becoming Muslim, the Malays have highly revered Hijaz and its 'ulama', and have seen them as a source of religious and political authority when the need for an authoritative decision arises. Even though historically Hijaz was exceptionally meaningful to the Malays, even for elucidating political questions, in Malaya there was no indication that the people were concerned with doctrinal or political developments with regard to the rise of Ibn Sa'ud's family and the early domination of the Wahhabis in the region, until the outbreak of the rivalry between Sharif Husayn and 'Abd al-Aziz Ibn Sa'ud after Worid War I.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v11i2.602
Islamic Militant Movements in Indonesia: A Preliminary Study Accounts for its Socio-Religious and Political Aspects
Authors: Effendy Bahtiar 
Published: May 2014

This essay attempts to look at the nature or character of Islamic militancy as reflected in the reemergence of a number of Islamic parties as well as socio-religious organizations of Islamic origins. Circumstance following the downfall of the Soeharto government and the aftermath it has created will be used to put the issue in perspective. Based on the actual strength of both Islamic parties and the newly established socio-religious organizations, this essay also examines the sustainability of such perceived Islamic militancy.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v11i3.594
Pluralism and Identity in the Indonesian-Malay World: The Isrā’ Mi’rāj as a token of both
Authors: Meij Dick van der 
Published: May 2014

This article would like to have o look at one particular piece of literature, the story of Isra' Mi'raj, to explore whether it is possible to say something about identity and plurality in the Indonesian-Malay world. It will propose that the story of the Isra' Mi'raj is a token of both the plural aspect of the Indonesian-Malay world as well as constituting a vital element of the shared identity of the inhabitants of this Southeast Asian region. It will do so by presenting thirteen examples of Isra' Mi'raj material available in, or originating from, the Indonesian-Malay world and present some attractive examples of the pluralism found in the stories. Subsequently it will propose that the Isra' Mi'raj functions as token of identity in this area.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v11i3.595
The Jamaah Tabligh Movement in Indonesia: Peaceful Fundamentalist
Authors: Aziz Abdul 
Published: May 2014

The birth of Jamaah Tabligh was in fact a direct reaction to the emergence of aggressive Hindu proselytization movement, such as the Shuddhi (Purifying) and Sangathan (Consolidation) movement, which made wide-reaching attempt in the early 20th century to "return" to Hinduism those who had "left" the religion and converted to Islam during the period of Muslim political power in India. The main target of these right-wing Hindu movements were those they called "borderline Muslims" who still maintained many beliefs and cultural habit that had come from Hinuism. Maulana Muhammad Ilyas, founder of Jamaah Tabligh, believed that only a grass-roots Islamic movement could challenge the effort of Shuddhi and Sangathan, thought "purifying" these "borderline" Muslims and educating them about basic faith and worship in order to save them from the process of Hindunisation.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v11i3.596
An Indonesian Islamic University: How is it Possible
Authors: Jabali Fuad 
Published: May 2014

This document explains about the transformation from IAIN (Institut Agama Islam Negeri, State Institute for Islamic Studies) into UIN which has many significant consequences. First, academically; while in IAIN only Islamic Studies (such as theology, Islamic jurisprudence and exegesis) are developed, in UIN the scope of studies broadens to include 'secular' sciences. Second, while most of students of IAIN are mainly from madrasah/pesantren/rural communities. UIN, with its secular faculties, attracts a wider variety of students from a more heterogeneous background.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v11i3.600
Javanese Stories of Jesus
Authors: Wasim Alef Theria , Steenbrink Karel 
Published: May 2014

The Jesus-section of the Javanese Serat Anbiya starts at the end of the story of the People of the Cave, the Muslim version of the Christian legend of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesos, who fled persecution under Emperor Decius (249-251) and disappeared, until they were found and rose up again. In most versions of this series, this story is told after the Jesus section (in Tha'labi, Rabghuzi, Mirkhond, but not in Kisai), but here it precedes the Jesus-story.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v12i2.589
Circumlocutory Imperialism: Watan in the Thoughts of Syed Shaykh bin Ahmad al-Hady
Authors: Alatas Ismail F. 
Published: May 2014

This article seeks to examine such transition. Specifically, it focuses on the concept of watan(Ar. Watan or homeland) in the view of an early 20th century Muslim modernist, Syed Shaikh bin Ahmad al-Hady. Watan - as proclaimed by al-Hady - had a modern and secular connotation, posing a challenge to the prevalent worldview of the Malays and kerajaan(kingdom). The conceptualization of watan was new for most Malays. Identity was constructed predominantly in relation to the particular state in which a person resided. The significance of al-Hady's contribution was that he conceptualized watan in the sense of patrie which consequently became the pivotal basis for the construction of a modern nation-state.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v12i2.590
The Rupture of Young Muslim Intelligentsia in the Modernization of Indonesia
Authors: Latif Yudi 
Published: May 2014

In March 1966, Army Chief of Staff Soeharto rose to power, taking control of the Indonesian Government. Soeharto's 'New Order' regime inherited a plethora of economic, political and social problems. The New Order came to the conclusion that these crises had evolved as a result of the previous regime's neglect of the economy and lack of concern for social welfare. Economic recovery was viewed as a priority by the new regime for it would tum the attention of the people from politics to the economy thus changing the national outlook from 'politik-sebagai-panglinta'(politics as commander) - as practiced during the Old Order - to 'ekonomi-sebagai-panglima' (economy as commander).DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v12i3.581
Media and Islamism in Post-New Order Indonesia: The Case of Sabili
Authors: Rijal Syamsul 
Published: May 2014

This article examines the Islamist issues presented by the Sabili magazine in post-New Order Indonesia from 1998 to 2004. This study is mainly inspired by the resurgence of Islamism as a consequence of political liberalization that resulted from the fall of Soeharto in May 1998. The press freedom permitted by president Habibie has given Islamic media such as the Sabili magazine the opportunity to operate relatively freely, unlike the restrictions faced during the New Order era. Sabili magazine, as the object of this study, has for sometime been a popular Islamic magazine among Muslim readers in Indonesia.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v12i3.582
Darut Tauhid: Modernizing a Pesantren Tradition

Published: May 2014

This study presents a case study of the Daarut Tauhiid Pesantren in Bandung, West Java, which represents an emerging trend in recent years in Indonesia, that is, the growing popularity of what we refer to here as the 'virtual pesantren'. Employing such a term in relation to the pesantren tradition - a tradition that has existed in Indonesia for many centuries - palpably indicates the changing nature of the tradition.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v12i3.583
