description: Tidal debris around galaxies can yield important clues on their evolution. We have identified tidal debris in 11 early type galaxies (T \leq 0) from a sample of 65 early types drawn from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G). The tidal debris includes features such as shells, ripples and tidal tails. A variety of techniques, including two-dimensional decomposition of galactic structures, was used to quantify the residual tidal features. The tidal debris contributes ~3 - 10% to the total 3.6 μm luminosity of the host galaxy. Structural parameters of the galaxies were estimated using two-dimensional profile fitting. We investigate the locations of galaxies with tidal debris in the Fundamental Plane and Kormendy relation. We find that galaxies with tidal debris lie within the scatter of early type galaxies without tidal features. Assuming that the tidal debris is indicative of recent gravitational interaction or merger, this suggests that these galaxies have either undergone minor merging events so that the overall structural properties of the galaxies are not significantly altered, or they have undergone a major merging events but already have experienced sufficient relaxation and phase-mixing so that their structural properties become similar to those of the non-interacting early type galaxies.

description: Intestinal glucose absorption plays a central role in the regulation of glucose plasmatic; however, current clinical management does not target the gut for treating diabetes. This study evaluated the effects of peel and pulp aqueous extract from Hylocereus lemairei on human enterocytes under high glucose concentration. Anti-hyperglycemic and antiobesity activities in vitro were also evaluated. Extracts did not cause cytotoxicity at 1 to 500 μg/mL. Moreover, they were effective in attenuating oxidative stress (DCFH-DA assay) and inflammation (•ON production) caused by high glucose. Intestinal enzymes (α- glucosidase and pancreatic lipase) were inhibited by pulp and peel extracts (>60% and >95%, respectively). Extracts exhibited a redox capacity superior to ascorbic and chlorogenic acids, presenting high phenolic content, mainly anthocyanins. The main compounds for both extracts were chlorogenic acid and naringin, and peel stood both qualitatively and quantitatively. Data suggest red Pitaya has potential as a new medicine for diabetes.

description: Biotransformation of isoniazid produced isonicotinic acid (1), isonicotinic acid N-oxide (2), and isonicotinamide (3) which were isolated by column chromatography using silica gel and Sephadex LH 20 and elucidated using various spectroscopies. This is the first report for isolation of 2. Antituberculosis activity was evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains: drug sensitive (DS), multiple drug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR). 1-3 and isoniazid showed MICs of 63.49, 0.22, 15.98 and 0.88 µM, respectively, against the DS strain. For the MDR strain, 2 and 3 exhibited MICs of 28.06 and > 1000 µM, respectively, while 1 was inactive. Moreover, 2 had an MIC of 56.19 µM against XDR strain, while 1 and 3 were inactive. Docking simulation using enoyl ACP reductase (InhA) revealed favorable protein-ligand interactions. In silico study of pharmacokinetics and hepatotoxicity predicted 1-3 to have good oral bioavailability and 2 to have a lower hepatoxicity probability than isoniazid.

description: Cent ans après la révolution einsteinienne bouleversant notre conception de l’espace et du temps, et au moment de la publication de l’observation d’une onde de distorsion de l’espace-temps, les principes sur lesquels sont traditionnellement développés mécanique et électromagnétisme reposent sur le concept du réfé- rentiel galiléen, dans lequel on écrit des équations “covariantes”. Cela présente deux inconvénients 1) l’idéalisation d’un système parfaitement calme, se mouvant sans heurt dans l’espace, est un obstacle conceptuel lorsqu’on quitte le domaine de l’espace-temps plan (celui de la relativité restreinte) pour prendre en compte la gravitation ; 2) dans l’écriture covariante les grandeurs manipulées (vitesse, champs électrique et magnétique, etc.) dépendent du référentiel choisi ce qui contrevient au principe de parcimonie. Le but de ma présentation est d’aborder la physique relativiste moderne (gravitation, mécanique, électrodynamique) en ne manipulant que des grandeurs invariantes tracées sur la carte de l’espacetemps : intervalle, masse, charge,  flux magneacute;tique et eacute;lectrique, etc. Le seul outil matheacute;matique neacute;cessaire sera la formule de Pythagore (avec le signe + mais aussi avec le signe -). La question sera poseacute;e de savoir si les opinions de Feynman, ldquo;the best way is to use the abstract  field ideardquo;, et de Dyson ldquo;why is Maxwellrsquo;s  theory so hard to understand?rdquo; tiennent toujours ou si lrsquo;eacute;lectrodynamique ne se reacute;sume pas agrave; un simple travail de deacute;tective du cadastre de lrsquo;espace-temps./p>

description: In this in vitro study, for the first time was evaluated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect of an Oleuropein-enriched extract (OleE) on bovine mammary epithelial cell line (BME-UV1). OleE was obtained from olives leaves and characterized by HPLC and NMR analysis. Cell viability test indicated that OleE at concentrations of 7.8 up to 250 μg/mL did not exert cytotoxic effect. At concentration of 31.2 up to 250 μg/mL, a dose dependent reduction of ROS production induced by hydrogen peroxide was observed. In addition, OleE at 62.5, 125 and 250 μg/mL showed a dose-dependent reduction in gene expression of TNF, IL1B, and IL10 after exposure to LPS. The downregulation of ROS production and cytokines expression in BME-UV1 by OleE confirmed the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In vivo experiments will be necessary for future applications of OleE as natural feed supplement in dairy cattle to reduce incidence of oxidative stress in peripartal period.

description: LC-MS/MS analysis of Glechoma hederacea L. methanolic extract (GHME), revealed the identification of 25 metabolites. Ursolic acid (1), 2α-hydroxyursolic acid or corosolic acid (2), 2β-hydroxyursolic acid or epi-corosolic (3), luteolin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4) and rosmarinic acid (5) were isolated and identified using spectroscopy. Antibacterial activity of GHME against multi drug resistance Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates was measured. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were ranged from 62.5 to 500 µg/ml. In vivo wound healing potential of 2%, and 5% GHME prepared hydrogels were criticized on Staphylococcus aureus infected wound rat model. 5% GHME prepared hydrogel treated group showed significant (p < 0.05) shrinkage of their colony forming unit/ml (CFU/ml) values in comparison with standard Fucidin. Meanwhile, wound closure associated with full re-epithelization and hair follicles proliferation was noticed after ten days of treatment. Finally, among the GHME isolated compounds, luteolin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4) exhibited the highest molecular docking score (–9.6 kcal/mol) against matrix metalloproteinase-8 target (MMP-8).

description: The roots of F. haussknechtii are used by local people in order to treat wounds and urinary infections. Ferula species are rich in bioactive compounds with biological effects. In line with our previous studies about screening antibacterial natural products, five terpenoid derivatives were purified from Ferula haussknechtii. The separation and purification were performed by column chromatography. Their structures were determined by 1 D and 2 D NMR as hawraman 8-p-hydroxybenzoyl-tovarol (1), ferutinin (2), lancerotriol 6-(p-hydroxybenzoate) (3), chimganin (4), and chimgin (5). Then, the antibacterial effects of the purified compounds were evaluated by measuring their MIC values against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The results showed that compound (1) had the most antibacterial effect on Bacillus cereus (MIC = 16 µg/mL). The antibacterial effects of F. haussknechtii compounds are in line with their local application and it is suggested that further studies should be conducted to determine their mechanism of action.

description: Introduction A majority of dengue cases do not present with any symptoms or mild symptoms but they are at risk of spreading the virus further when a non-infected Aedes mosquito bites the infected host. This study aims to determine the sero-prevalence of undifferentiated fever among in the Malaysian population. Methodology There are nine districts in the state of Selangor with a total of 75 government health clinics. From each district approximately 50% of the clinics were selected by stratified random sampling. All patients presenting to the selected government health clinics with acute undifferentiated fever not suspected to be dengue and for whom blood screening for dengue was not indicated. Patients were interviewed using a structured questionnaire and 3ml of venous blood were drawn from the patient for NS1 antigen, IgM and IgG test. Result A total of 1195 patients were recruited in this study from May 2018 to May 2019. 74 (6.3%) patients were classified as undifferentiated dengue fever including 73 (6.1%) patients was acute primary dengue infection and only one (0.08%) was acute secondary dengue infection. All potential risk factors were entered into multivariate regression model. Patient who had fever more than 3 days (AOR=2.43, 95% CI: 1.319 - 4.468), nausea (AOR= 2.82, 95% CI: 1.704 - 4.654), and rashes (AOR= 3.41, 95% CI: 1.232 - 9.411) were more likely to have dengue infection. Discussion/Conclusion This study shows low prevalence of undifferentiated dengue fever among patients attending at a health clinic in Selangor. Current dengue control programs are targeted at locations should be remained to prevent new dengue hotspots. [Disclaimer: Abstract text might vary slightly from what is displayed in the e-poster]

description: We show that the radio, X-ray and gamma-ray spectrum of the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 can be accounted for with the simplest emission model, where all of these emissions are attributed to a population of relativistic electrons interacting with the cosmic microwave background radiation, IR interstellar photons, and a background magnetic field. With a spectral inversion method (Johns & Lin 1992), the parent electron distribution and its uncertainties are derived from the observed photon spectrum. These results are independent on the model of particle acceleration and strongly support the leptonic scenario for the TeV emission.

description: This paper reports on a new and swift hydrothermal chemical route to prepare titanate nanostructures (TNS) avoiding the use of crystalline TiO2 as starting material. The synthesis approach uses a commercial solution of TiCl3 as titanium source to prepare an amorphous precursor, circumventing the use of hazardous chemical compounds. The influence of the reaction temperature and dwell autoclave time on the structure and morphology of the synthesised materials was studied. Homogeneous titanate nanotubes with a high length/diameter aspect ratio were synthesised at 160^{\circ}C and 24 h. A band gap of 3.06\pm0.03 eV was determined for the TNS samples prepared in these experimental conditions. This value is red shifted by 0.14 eV compared to the band gap value usually reported for the TiO2 anatase. Moreover, such samples show better adsorption capacity and photocatalytic performance on the dye rhodamine 6G (R6G) photodegradation process than TiO2 nanoparticles. A 98% reduction of the R6G concentration was achieved after 45 minutes of irradiation of a 10 ppm dye aqueous solution and 1 g/L of TNS catalyst.

description: The fast outflow emerging from a region associated with massive star formation in the Orion Molecular Cloud 1 (OMC-1), located behind the Orion Nebula, appears to have been set in motion by an explosive event. Here we study the structure and dynamics of outflows in OMC-1. We combine radial velocity and proper motion data for near-IR emission of molecular hydrogen to obtain the first 3-dimensional (3D) structure of the OMC-1 outflow. Our work illustrates a new diagnostic tool for studies of star formation that will be exploited in the near future with the advent of high spatial resolution spectro-imaging in particular with data from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). We use published radial and proper motion velocities obtained from the shock-excited vibrational emission in the H2 v=1-0 S(1) line at 2.122 $μ$m obtained with the GriF instrument on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, the Apache Point Observatory, the Anglo-Australian Observatory and the Subaru Telescope. These data give the 3D velocity of ejecta yielding a 3D reconstruction of the outflows. This allows one to view the material from different vantage points in space giving considerable insight into the geometry. Our analysis indicates that the ejection occurred <720 years ago from a distorted ring-like structure of ~15" (6000 AU) in diameter centered on the proposed point of close encounter of the stars BN, source I and maybe also source n. We propose a simple model involving curvature of shock trajectories in magnetic fields through which the origin of the explosion and the centre defined by extrapolated proper motions of BN, I and n may be brought into spatial coincidence.

description: My thesis is that morality has a subjective ontological status. The main implication of this subjectivism is that if morality is to continue to have any positive role to play in human life then it must be seen as the product of human invention rather than as the product of human discovery. Furthermore, if morality is to have any positive role to play then this will arise because of the contingent nature of the human situation rather than because of any metaphysical or conceptual necessities. Because of important human contingencies, subjectivism adopts a convention or consent theory of morality. Morality is a result of the interplay of human wants and the establishment, primarily through bargaining, of a social system which seeks to satisfy those wants. Practical moralities are activist positions. What the law does in a highly formal way, morality does in a less formal way. By a close examination and analysis of current philosophical arguments supporting naturalist theories of morality I develop a subjectivist position which enhances and adds to this tradition in philosophy and which provides a better understanding of what we are doing when making moral judgements. I thereby extend the naturalistic examination of the utility of bringing behavior under rule.

description: In this work we predict the maximum amplitude, its time of occurrence, and the total length of Solar Cycle 24 by linear regression to the curvature (second derivative) at the preceding minimum of a smoothed version of the sunspots time series. We characterise the predictive power of the proposed methodology in a causal manner by an incremental incorporation of past solar cycles to the available data base. In regressing maximum cycle intensity to curvature at the leading minimum we obtain a correlation coefficient R \approx 0.91 and for the upcoming Cycle 24 a forecast of 78 (90% confidence interval: 56 - 106). Ascent time also appears to be highly correlated to the second derivative at the starting minimum (R \approx -0.77), predicting maximum solar activity for October 2013 (90% confidence interval: January 2013 to September 2014). Solar Cycle 24 should come to an end by February 2020 (90% confidence interval: January 2019 to July 2021), although in this case correlational evidence is weaker (R \approx -0.56).

description: Quantum size effects in armchair graphene nano-ribbons (AGNR) with hydrogen termination are investigated via density functional theory (DFT) in Kohn-Sham formulation. "Selection rules" will be formulated, that allow to extract (approximately) the electronic structure of the AGNR bands starting from the four graphene dispersion sheets. In analogy with the case of carbon nanotubes, a threefold periodicity of the excitation gap with the ribbon width (N, number of carbon atoms per carbon slice) is predicted that is confirmed by ab initio results. While traditionally such a periodicity would be observed in electronic response experiments, the DFT analysis presented here shows that it can also be seen in the ribbon geometry: the length of a ribbon with L slices approaches the limiting value for a very large width 1 << N (keeping the aspect ratio small N << L) with 1/N-oscillations that display the electronic selection rules. The oscillation amplitude is so strong, that the asymptotic behavior is non-monotonous, i.e., wider ribbons exhibit a stronger elongation than more narrow ones.

description: Introduction Generally, a cause of death and disability were contributed by an excess of body fat. For health, the issue is not how much you weigh, but how much abdominal fat you have. This study aims to determine the prevalence of abdominal obesity among Malaysian women and its association with sociodemographic and personal life style. Methodology Data were obtained from the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2019 which was carried out via face-to-face interviews using mobile devices. Abdominal obesity was defined according to WHO/IASO/IOTF, 2000 Waist Circumference cut-off (>= 90cm for Men, >= 80cm for Women). A complex sample analysis was carried out at 95% confidence interval using SPSS version 21.0.   Results The prevalence of abdominal obesity among women was 64.8% (95% CI: 62.62, 66.94). Ethnic Malays with age 60 years and above have the highest rate of abdominal obesity compared to other groups. Higher abdominal obesity was found in rural area, age 40-59 years old, unemployed, B40 income group and inactive physical activity for Sarawakians. Logistic regression analysis found that women at risk of having abdominal obesity in Malaysia were those of older people [aOR: 3.464 (95% CI: 2.460 - 4.879)], Sarawakians [aOR: 3.682 (95% CI: 2.222 - 6.102)] and no formal education [aOR: 1.354 (95% CI: 1.052 - 1.742)]. Discussion NHMS 2019 revealed that abdominal obesity was higher among women compared to male. Therefore, health education programs should provide information about the risk factors for abdominal obesity to all women, and preventive strategies should be implemented accordingly.

description: Myroxylon pereirae resin (MP; balsam of Peru) is a botanical balsam which is derived from a tree known as Myroxylon balsamum (L.) Harms var. pereirae (Royle) Harms, balsamum. This natural substance has a long history of medicinal use (antiseptic and for wound healing) but surprisingly there is a lack of toxicological data. The medicinal application of Peru balsam has been documented throughout a period of at least 30 years, however, due to the high risk of sensitisation and other treatment options available in the proposed indication, the medicinal use of MP in EU today is limited. The aim of this article is deriving Permitted Daily Exposure (PDE) values for MP for regulatory purposes using various toxicological strategies due to the problems with toxicological data. The results described in this article fills a gap in the literature on toxicological aspects of MP for the first time.

description: Introduction Almost no country-specific incidence trends data of de novo heart failure (HF) hospitalisations are available for Southeast Asia. This study aimed to determine the trends in incidence of HF hospitalisations and how these differ by age, sex and ethnicity in Malaysia. Methodology Using a national hospital discharge database, we estimated the rates of incident HF hospitalisations between 2007 and 2016. Results Of 105 399 patients who had incident hospitalisations for HF, 58 866 (55·9%) were men and 67 374 (63.9%) were 60 years and older. By ethnicity, 64 146 (60·9%) were Malay, 18·2% were Chinese, 10·9% were Indian and a remaining 9·7% were other ethnic groups combined. The absolute number of new hospitalisations increased by 52·3%. Meanwhile, standardised incident HF hospitalisations decreased at a similar rate for both men and women, by an average of 1% per calendar year. Overall, women had lower incidence than men after adjusting for age, ethnicity and calendar year (incidence rate ratio 0·77; 95% confidence interval 0·74-0·80). Although age-standardised incidence was highest in the Indian ethnic group, this subgroup has also exhibited the highest annual rate of decline compared to other ethnic groups. Of note, Indian women had elevated risk of incident HF hospitalisation compared to women of other ethnic groups. Conclusion Incidence of HF hospitalisations has decreased in the past ten years, irrespective of sex. However, differences in absolute risks of HF hospitalisations remain across sex and ethnic groups, representing opportunity for public health initiatives to target high-risk subgroups to reduce HF hospitalisations.

description: The Clementine Gnomon is a solar meridian telescope dedicated to solar astrometry operating as a giant pinhole dark camera, being the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli the dark room. This instrument built in 1701-1702 by the will of pope Clement XI by Francesco Bianchini (1662-1729) gives solar images free from distortions, excepted atmospheric refraction, because the pinhole is opticsless. Similar historical instruments are in Florence (Duomo, by Toscanelli and Ximenes), Bologna (San Petronio, by Cassini), Milan (Duomo, by De Cesaris) and Palermo (Cathedral, by Piazzi). The azimut of the Clementine Gnomon has been recently referenced with respect to the celestial North pole, and it is 4'28.8"\pm0.6", a comparison with similar coeval instruments is presented. Also the local deviations from a perfect line are known with an accuracy better than 0.5 mm. With these calibration data we used the Gnomon to measure the delay of the solar meridian transit with respect to the time calculated by the ephemerides (DUT1). The growth of this astronomical parameter is compensated by the insertion of a leap second ad the end of the year in order to keep the Universal Time close to astronomical phenomena within less than a whole second. On December 31, 2008 at 23:59:59 there is one of those leap seconds leading to 23:59:60 before the new year's midnight 00:00:00, being DUT1\approx0.7 s at that date. DUT1 has been measured with an accuracy of \pm0.3 s.

description: This study aimed to assess the antimicrobial activity of endophytic Phyllosticta fallopiae L67 isolated from Aloe vera against diabetic wound microorganisms and characterise their active fraction for biologically important metabolites. The dichloromethane (DCM) extract exhibited the most significant activity with inhibition zones ranging from 11.33 to 38.33 mm. The minimal inhibitory and lethality concentrations of DCM extract ranged from 78.13 to 2500.00 µg/ml and 625.00 to 5000.00 µg/ml, respectively. The extract showed teratogenicity and lethality in the zebrafish model, where peritoneal and hepatic oedema occurred at 62.50 µg/ml, and no abnormality appeared at 31.25 µg/ml. The extract also inhibited more than 82% biofilm formation. Bioassay-guided fractionation on DCM extract yielded 18 fractions and the most active fraction was subjected to UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS analysis. Flavones, stilbenes, flavanonols, isoflavonoids, phenolic glycosides and phenol derivatives were detected. In conclusion, endophytic P. fallopiae possessed bioactive metabolites with significant antimicrobial activity against diabetic wound microorganisms.

description: This study reports the isolation of iridoids and cycloartane glycosides from the aerial parts of Phlomoides labiosa Bunge. Six compounds were isolated and the chemical structures were identified as phlorigidoside С (1), 8-O-acetylharpagide (2), shanzhiside methyl ester (3), cyclosiversioside A (4), cyclosiversioside E (5), and cyclosiversioside C (6). Compounds 4-6 are reported for the first time in this plant. In addition, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of iridoid fraction were studied. The sum of iridoids (SI) with intragastric administration is 5.2 and 52.5 times less toxic, than such market drugs as analgin and diclofenac sodium, respectively. In terms of the latitude of analgesic action (LD50/ED50), the SI exceeds analgin by 19.2 times and diclofenac sodium by 16 times. The anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of the sum of iridoids were confirmed to be effective and nontoxic, and exceed known drugs diclofenac sodium and analgin (metamizole sodium).

description: We compare the semi-analytic models of galaxy formation of Fu et al. (2010), which track the evolution of the radial profiles of atomic and molecular gas in galaxies, with gas fraction scaling relations derived from the COLD GASS survey (Saintonge et al 2011). The models provide a good description of how condensed baryons in galaxies with gas are partitioned into stars, atomic and molecular gas as a function of galaxy stellar mass and surface density. The models do not reproduce the tight observed relation between stellar surface density and bulge-to-disk ratio for this population. We then turn to an analysis of the"quenched" population of galaxies without detectable cold gas. The current implementation of radio-mode feedback in the models disagrees strongly with the data. In the models, gas cooling shuts down in nearly all galaxies in dark matter halos above a mass of 10**12 M_sun. As a result, stellar mass is the observable that best predicts whether a galaxy has little or no neutral gas. In contrast, our data show that quenching is largely independent of stellar mass. Instead, there are clear thresholds in bulge-to-disk ratio and in stellar surface density that demarcate the location of quenched galaxies. We propose that processes associated with bulge formation play a key role in depleting the neutral gas in galaxies and that further gas accretion is suppressed following the formation of the bulge, even in dark matter halos of low mass.
