title: Isolation and characterization of probiotic lactobacillus spp. with anti - pathogenic and anti-inflammatory activities

description: Lactobacillus species have beneficial effects as probiotics. In this study, they were isolated from feces of healthy human volunteers to investigate for their two main probiotic properties: inhibition of gastrointestinal pathogens and modulation of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) productions as well as characterization of selected strains. Five hundreds and ten Lactobacillus isolates were tested for antagonistic activity against ten gastrointestinal pathogens. The results demonstrated that 4 isolates displayed weak inhibitory activities against Vibrio cholerae non O1 by agar well diffusion assay. The weak inhibitory activities were observed in 114 of 437 isolates toward Vibrio cholerae and 32 of 114 isolates toward Salmonella enterica by agar spot method. Forty-six isolates were randomly selected and investigated for the modulation of TNF-α production in THP-1 monocytic cells activated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The result revealed that 12 isolates significantly inhibited TNF-α production in varying degrees. Strain TH58 displayed the most potent TNF-α inhibitory activity by 70-80%. However, this strain had no effect on nuclear factor kappa B (NF- kB) activation. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic characteristic including API 50 CHL, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, pyrosequencing and rep-PCR genotyping, 4 anti-pathogenic strains were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum. Out of 12 TNF-α inhibitory strains, 10 were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum, one as Lactobacillus salivarius and TH58 strain as Lactobacillus saerimneri. Phylogenetic relationships demonstrated Lactobacillus saerimneri distinguish from Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus salivarius which displayed 60-78% similarity by rep-PCR. It is interesting to note that Lactobacillus TH58 strain with the most potent TNF-α inhibitory activity was identified as Lactobacillus saerimneri which has never been reported as the isolate from human origin and exhibited TNF-α inhibitory activity.

title: The NGO's roles in combatting women trafficking between Cambodia and Thailand : a case study of coordination

description: Human trafficking in general and women trafficking in particular is a major concern worldwide including Cambodia. Many non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Cambodia have played an active role in supporting women anti-trafficking programs. Many causes of trafficking have been found and addressed such as the poverty, the low education, gender inequality, corruption, the complex recruitment procedures, and the lack of effective monitoring or law enforcement. Despite many successes, there remain numerous constraints for NGOs in implementing most of the programs effectively. With this reason, many reports still claim that trafficking is still increasing. Therefore, this study is aimed to investigate the roles and the challenges of the NGOs in combating women trafficking from Cambodia to Thailand. This research chooses 10 Cambodian NGOs and employs both primary and secondary data related to this case. Primary data includes structured and unstructured interview with NGOs program managers and staffs who are actively involved in implementing women anti-trafficking programs. Secondary data includes published books, reports, and materials from the government and NGOs. This study found that the unsuccessful role of NGOs in combating against women trafficking is caused by three factors. First, there is no common definition of trafficking using among Cambodian NGOs. Such different usage can not help identify the real victims but create the tension among NGOs. For instance, while some NGOs consider prostitution as trafficking and criminalize it, others deem it as the right of self-determination and support it. Second, the statistics of trafficking is still patchy and somehow unreliable. Usually, each NGO counts the cases they receive and draw the conclusion that trafficking is increasing or decreasing. To do this, it not only affects the real magnitude of trafficking, but also real situation of the trafficking victims, and some effective programs. Thirdly, the limited fund constrains the activities of the NGOs. Many NGOs conduct their work in the very limited target places with the staffs that need more training. Furthermore, fund also reflect the tension between those who receive the fund to support the idea that prostitution is the root cause of trafficking and those who receive the fund to support the right of voluntary sex workers. To conclude, it is believed if there is common definition, it can help smooth the coordination and lead to the same understanding to tackle the trafficking. Moreover, it not only can help get rid of the overlapped data but more specific to the real situation of the trafficking, the victims, and the traffickers, but also help reduce the expenditure to any programs that are not effective.

title: Solving some Moser's worm Problems Using Numerical Minimization

description: One of the most difficult things to study Moser’s worm problem is how to prove whether or not the considered set is a cover. With the aid of numerical minimization, the lower bound of the un-coverable unit arc can be found. Clearly, if the lower bound is longer than 1 unit, then we have already proved that it’s a cover. In this research, an equilateral triangle, an isosceles right angled triangle, and a 30°- 60°- 90° triangle are tested. The method works quite better on covers with geometric symmetries.

title: Analisi del complesso faunistico di Dossetto di Nogara (Verona)

description: Il presente contributo illustra la fauna proveniente da Dossetto di Nogara (VR). Lo scavo, eseguito nel 1999, ha messo in luce un abitato di tipo palafitticolo e i dati preliminari ottenuti dall'esame dei materiali collocano il sito in un momento avanzato dell'antica età del Bronzo. Inoltre, alcuni elementi lignei sono stati sottoposti ad analisi dendrocronologiche con attribuzione al BA I C. La fauna di Dossetto di Nogara è composta da 2.245 resti, di cui il 58% circa determinabili, con netta prevalenza di animali domestici. La classe maggiormente rappresentata è quella dei piccoli ruminanti domestici, con predominanza della pecora rispetto alla capra; un altro dato che emerge è la superiorità numerica del maiale rispetto al bue. Tra gli altri animali domestici è presente anche il cane: su un bacino e su un atlante sono visibili segni di tagli riconducibili a macellazione. Gli animali selvatici sono scarsamente rappresentati, con circa il 2% dei resti; si ricordano il cervo, di cui ci sono pervenuti essenzialmente resti di palchi; il capriolo, il cinghiale, e la testuggine palustre; pochi i resti di uccelli e di pesci. Interessante è infine il rinvenimento tra le ossa animali di resti umani sparsi, nello specifico di parti del cranio riferibili ad almeno due individui.
description: This study presents the results from the analysis carried out on the animal bone remains from Dossetto di Nogara (Verona, Italy). The excavation, carried out in 1999, revealed a pile-dwelling settlement. The preliminary study of the material culture date the site to an advanced stage of early Bronze Age; dendrochronology run on some wooden elements suggests dating it to BA I C. The faunal assemblage is composed of 2,245 fragments. Of these, 58% were identified to species level, revealing a clear predominance of domestic animals. The most represented species is those of small domestic ruminants, predominantly sheep. A higher number of pig compared to cattle also emerged. Dog is also represented; interestingly, cut marks have been clearly identified on a pelvis and on an atlas related to this animal. Wild animals are poorly represented in the assemblage with a total percentage of 2%; among those, red deer, of which mainly antlers were found, roe deer, wild boar, turtle and a few remains of birds and fish. The discovery of human remains scattered among the animal bones is also significant: more specifically, parts of the skull related to at least two individuals were identified.

title: Gestione e sfruttamento delle risorse faunistiche nei siti di Vallone Inferno (Palermo) e Case Bastione (Enna)

description: Il riparo sotto roccia di Vallone Inferno, situato all'interno del territorio del comune di Scillato (PA) nella parte settentrionale della catena montuosa delle Madonie, è stato oggetto di otto campagne di scavo dal 2008 al 2015. Il sito si trova all'interno di una valle di formazione carsico-fluviale in una posizione strategica, in quanto risulta essere una naturale via di comunicazione tra le alte e le basse Madonie e quindi un crocevia per i pascoli. Il villaggio di Case Bastione è situato nella parte centrale dell'altopiano degli Erei, un'area collinare posta nella Sicilia centrale, lungo la valle del fiume Morello, un affluente dell'Imera Meridionale. Questo sito è stato oggetto di cinque campagne di scavo, tra il 2007 e il 2015. Sono stati analizzati e comparati i campioni faunistici provenienti dai livelli riferiti al Bronzo antico di entrambi i siti, i quali si presentano molto similari tra loro, con una prevalenza di fauna domestica composta da ovicaprini e in misura minore da suini e bovini, inoltre veniva praticata anche l'attività venatoria rivolta principalmente al cervo.
description: The rock shelter of Vallone Inferno is located within the Scillato (PA) district area in the northern part of the Madonie mountain chain. The deposit within the shelter was investigated during eight excavation campaigns from 2008 to 2015. The shelter opens in a valley of fluviokarstic origin set in a strategic position as it represents a natural way of communication between high and low altitudes of Madonie area and a crossroad for the livestock pasture. The Case Bastione Village is placed in the central portion of the Erei uplands, in a hilly area in central Sicily in the Morello river valley, a tributary of Southern Imera River. The deposit of the Village has been investigated during five excavation campaigns from 2007 to 2015. The faunal samples of Early Bronze Age coming from both sites have been analysed and compared: the faunal spectrum is very similar being in both cases livestock - particularly caprines with less pig and cattle - strongly prevails over wild game, represented mainly by red deer.

title: Il potenziale interpretativo dell'archeofauna: alcuni esempi da grotte rituali e funerarie dell'età del Bronzo medio in Italia Centrale

description: Lo studio degli ecofatti dai siti della media età del Bronzo (XVII-XV sec. a.C.) dell'Italia centrale, inclusi quelli provenienti da grotte, è stato fino ad oggi prevalentemente finalizzato ad identificare le strategie di sussistenza. Questo lavoro prende in considerazione i reperti bioarcheologici anche per la loro importanza nell'interpretazione degli aspetti rituali della vita nella regione medio-appenninica durante il Bronzo medio. Sono stati confrontati esempi di grotte rituali pubblicate in letteratura e tre casistudio (Grotta Mora Cavorso, Grotta del Pertuso e Grotta Regina Margherita) situati in Italia centrale. In particolare, sono state esaminate le interessanti collezioni faunistiche provenienti da questi nuovi siti, ponendo attenzione sul loro trattamento, la distribuzione spaziale e scheletrica, la selezione delle specie e la stagionalità. Attraverso questo approccio agli ecofatti, sono stati tratti spunti interpretativi di notevole interesse. Questa ricerca ha evidenziato alcune differenze tra le pratiche rituali effettuate in ognuno dei siti esaminati. Questo risultato non sarebbe stato possibile analizzando solamente artefatti e strutture, né studiando gli ecofatti con l'unica finalità di comprendere meglio le pratiche economiche. Grazie a questo approccio, è stato possibile iniziare un superamento della definizione generale di 'grotta rituale dell'età del Bronzo', identificando alcuni indicatori specifici che possano fornire un quadro più chiaro del comportamento rituale nel Bronzo medio degli Appennini.
description: The study of ecofacts from Middle Bronze Age (MBA - 17-15th centuries B.C.) sites in central Italy, including caves, has so far mainly been designed to identify subsistence strategies. This paper aims to re-evaluate zooarchaeological remains as a key element in the interpretation of ritual aspects of BA life in the Apennine area. Published examples of ritual caves are compared with three recently-excavated caves from the same area (Grotta Mora Cavorso, Grotta del Pertuso and Grotta Regina Margherita). In particular, the rich faunal datasets from these new sites, focusing on their treatment, spatial and skeletal distribution, species selection and seasonality, are considered. Using this approach to the ecofacts, crucial interpretive information about cave uses have been obtained. Our results shed light on the differences between the rituals carried out in each site. This could not have been achieved by analysing only artefacts and structures, nor by studying the ecofacts with the sole purpose of understanding economic practices. Thanks to this approach, we have been able to go beyond the general definition of 'BA cult cave' to identify specific markers that provide a clearer picture of Apennine MBA ritual behaviour.

title: I resti faunistici della media età del Bronzo della Terramara di Baggiovara (Modena). Aspetti archeozoologici e paleoeconomici

description: La terramara di Baggiovara si colloca in un'area di alta pianura immediatamente a Sud di Modena occupata fittamente, soprattutto durante la media età del Bronzo, da piccole terramare distanti anche solo 1,5 Km. Molte di queste saranno abbandonate non contestualmente nel corso del Bronzo medio 2. Lo scavo del 2009 ha evidenziato all'interno dell'abitato un'articolata stratigrafia suddivisibile in tre fasi strutturali. Alla prima fase sembrano riferibili le evidenze strutturali più consistenti determinate da allineamenti di buche di palo coincidenti con accumuli e dispersione di concotto che sembrano seguire allineamenti di buche di palo. Lo studio di tali evidenze ha permesso il riconoscimento di diversi orizzonti cronologici, tutti definibili entro il pieno Bronzo medio 1 e l'inizio del Bronzo medio 2. Gli scavi del 2011 hanno sostanzialmente confermato la cronologia del sito. Questa ricerca, effettuata sul campione faunistico recuperato nel 2011, si inserisce nel filone di altri studi archeozoologici già eseguiti per l'area delle terremare, come quelli di Modena, Gaggio e Noceto e va così ad integrare i dati in nostro possesso sull'economia, l'ambiente e, in generale la funzione dei siti di questo territorio nella media età del Bronzo.
description: The terramara of Baggiovara lies on a high plain that is located just south from the town of Modena. In the Middle Bronze Age this area was densely occupied by several small terramare that were distant only 1.5 Km each other. Many of these were abandoned during the Middle Bronze Age 2, though not simultaneously. Excavations carried out in 2009 and 2011 brought to light three phases. The most important evidence is represented by some post holes that are aligned with build-up and scattering of "concotto" and belonging to the first phase. Accurate analysis has allowed recognizing different chronological horizons, spanning the Middle Bronze Age 1 and the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age 2. The study of the animal remains is part of a wider project focused on the area of terramare that includes the studies of animal remains from Modena, Gaggio and Noceto. The sample provides information on the dynamics of animal consumption and exploitation occurred in this area during the Middle Bronze Age. An interesting aspect of this sample is represented by the relevance of red deer remains, suggesting that hunting would have had an important role in providing meat and antlers as working material for the people that occupied the village.

title: Nuovi dati faunistici del Bronzo finale e della prima età del Ferro dell'insediamento La Rocca di Chiuso (Lecco)

description: Nel 1988 il Museo Civico di Lecco effettuò due sondaggi sul terrazzo del versante settentrionale della Rocca di Chiuso, presso Lecco. Il saggio I, oggetto di questo studio, mise in luce due tratti di muro a secco con andamento SN e la traccia di un terzo allineamento. Il deposito, di limitata profondità, ha restituito ceramiche dell'età del Bronzo finale (XI-X secolo a.C.) e della prima età del Ferro (IX-VIII secolo a.C.). Il lotto faunistico conta 191 resti di cui 69 determinati. Si tratta di un complesso poco numeroso ma di notevole interesse perché fornisce dati su un areale geografico e su culture ad oggi ancora poco o punto studiate sotto il profilo dell'archeozoologia. Il bue, insieme ai resti attribuibili ai grandi ungulati (44, probabilmente tutti o quasi ad esso riferibili) doveva rappresentare poco più del 42% delle presenze. I resti di capra e pecora e quelli di maiale sono di importanza marginale. Un solo reperto di cane, due resti di cervo. Nonostante la scarsa affidabilità statistica il lotto potrebbe riflettere l'economia di una comunità essenzialmente agricola, stabile sotto il profilo demografico, e un ambiente aperto, dominato da campi e pascoli.
description: In 1988 the Civic Museum of Lecco carried out some excavations on the northern side terrace of the Rocca di Chiuso near Lecco. In survey 1, object of this paper, two north-south wall sections and the remain of a third wall were found. Pottery of the Final Bronze Age (11th/10th century BC) and of the beginning of the Iron Age (9th/8th century BC) were recovered from it.The faunal assemblage includes 191 remains of which only 69 were identified; it is dated between the Final Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age. The sample is very small, but of considerable significance because it provides data on a geographical and cultural area that is still today barely studied in archaeozoological terms. Cattle, together with those remains attributable to large ungulates (NISP 44, almost all likely to be cattle) represented less than 42% of the identified remains. The remains of goats and sheep and of small ungulatesare up to about 30%. Pigs is of marginal importance. There were only one dog specimen, and two red deer remains. Despite its poor statistical reliability, the assemblage could reflect an economy of a community with a stable demography mainly based on agricultural activities, and consequently an open landscape dominated by fields and pastures.
