Chapter Twenty-One. Christian Media

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

CHRISTIAN MEDIAChristian press and media can be understood in diff erent ways.Th ere are internal publications in the churches, directed to the community of the faithful.Th ere are publications with mainly a Christian content, directed to a broader public than only the church community.Finally there are media-companies run by Christians, who want to off er a contribution to the general public.At the beginning of this chapter we will give a short overview of the Protestant and Catholic press in Indonesia starting in the seventeenth century.In a second part we will describe in short the history of Catholic publishers.We will take the history of the Catholic publisher and printer Kanisius as an example, and give in comparison a short description of the biggest Protestant Publisher in Indonesia, BPK Gunung Mulia.In the third part we will give some attention to an ecumenical project named Kokosia, a project that tried to make an inventory of the Christian activities in the fi eld of communication in Indonesia between 1978 and 1986.In the last part of this chapter we will describe how the newspaper Kompas, started by Catholics in 1965 as a "daily newspaper" and as a "views paper, " continues to the present to give a peaceful but also a critical contribution to the developments in Indonesian society.We end with a few notes about Sinar Harapan, later renamed Suara Pembaruan, a newspaper started by Protestants in Indonesia. Protestant press and media in the seventeenth until the nineteenth centuryTh e VOC realised the benefi t of the press in publishing laws and regulations of the government.But it was the Protestant Church in the Dutch East Indies that initiated the introduction of a printing press.Th ey used the printing press to publish Christian literature in local languages for Christian interests.In 1624 church workers bought a printing press from the Netherlands, but the coming of this printing press to Indonesia did not automatically accomplish both the colonial government's and church's publication requirements.Th e fi rst printing press in Indonesia was not used because the Dutch Indies had no skilled operator, to work with the press. 1

Abstract 4160: V7 targeted liposomes detect pancreatic adenocarcinoma via multispectral optoacoustic tomography

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Purpose: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) remains one of the most aggressive malignancies with a 5-year survival rate of 9-10%. Insufficient early detection coupled with limitations in operating surgery renders PDA as one of the most challenging tumors to treat. Accurate localization of tumor margins can tremendously improve surgical treatment outcomes in patients. Recently, nanotechnology has emerged as a promising platform for theranostic applications in the field of drug discovery, although the clinical success is limited by their tumor-specific uptake. Hypoxia due to aberrant vascularization is a hallmark of PDA and can be exploited for active targeting. pH-low insertion peptide variant 7 (V7) is used as hypoxia and acidosis-dependent biomarker for selective targeting of pancreatic cancer tissue. This work is focused on using IR 780 contrast agent loaded, V7 peptide conjugated liposomes for the active targeting of PDA towards enhanced surgical outcomes. Methods: Liposomes encapsulating IR780 dye were prepared using thin film hydration technique. V7 peptide was conjugated to liposomes using an SMCC linker and liposomes were characterized for their size, polydispersity and surface potential. In-vitro uptake of IR780-V7-liposome by S2VP10 at pH 7.4, 6.8, and 6.6 was evaluated through NIR fluorescence imaging using an Odyssey Infrared System. Athymic mice were orthotopically implanted with S2VP10 cells. After tumors were 3 mm, V7-liposomes and untargeted liposomes (0.01 OD) were intravenously injected and biodistribution and tumor specific uptake was accessed using multispectral optoacoustic imaging (MSOT). Results: Dynamic light scattering (DLS) revealed the size of liposomes to be 109 nm with a polydispersity index of 0.198 and zeta potential of +35.8 mV. Surface conjugation of V7 peptide was confirmed using the zeta potential measurement. NIR fluorescence imaging in S2VP10 cells established enhanced tumor specific uptake of V7 conjugated liposomes than passively targeted liposomes (p&lt;0.05). Biodistribution of V7-liposomes demonstrated tumor specific accumulation (PDAC tumor 23.7 a.u, liver 3.6 a.u., and kidney 1.1 a.u.) while untargeted liposomes had the greatest uptake in liver (PDAC tumor 2.1 a.u., liver 6.3 a.u., and kidney 0.7 a.u.) p&lt;0.05. Conclusion: pH-specific actively targeted liposomes can be used to specifically target PDA with minimal off-target binding effects. V7-IR780-liposome formulation can be used to efficiently deliver contrast agent for imaging tumor margins and to expand the potential of MSOT towards clinical applications.

Vaccinia virus-specific C D8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes in humans

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Stimulation of human vaccinia virus immune peripheral blood mononuclear cells in vitro from vaccinia virus-immune donors with live vaccinia virus-infected autologous cells generated vaccinia virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) capable of lysing vaccinia virus-infected cells. We generated vaccinia virus-specific CD8+ clones and CD4+ CTL lines by limiting dilution from two donors by using peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained 2 months or 4 years postrevaccination with vaccinia virus. These results demonstrate that vaccinia virus-specific CTL are generated as a result of immunization of humans with vaccinia virus and that both CD8(+)- and CD4(+)-specific T cells are maintained as memory cells.
Vinyl polymerization, 366. Polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated with a hydrolyzed product of poly[bis(2‐chloroethyl) vinylphosphonate]

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract PVPA, a simulated terpolymer from vinylphosphonic acid, 2‐hydroxyethyl hydrogen vinylphosphonic acid and 2‐chloroethyl hydrogen vinylphosphonic acid, was prepared by partial hydrolysis of poly[bis(2‐chloroethyl) vinylphosphonate] ( 2 ). In aqueous solution, PVPA was found to be able to polymerize methyl methacrylate (MMA) without any further initiator by a radical mechanism. The effects of the masses of water, PVPA and MMA on the polymerization were studied. The overall activation energy was found to be 77,7 kJ.mol −1 . The Michaelis‐Menten equation could be applied for the relationship between the mass of MMA and the rate of polymerization ( R p ). The plots of pH of aqueous solution against R p gave a downward bell‐type curve. An initiation mechanism of the polymerization process is discussed.

Isolation, characterization, and function of 6-mycolyl-6'-acetyltrehalose in the H37Ra strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The major mycolic acid containing extractable lipid of the H37Ra strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was established to be 6-mycolyl-6'-acetyltrehalose (MAT). This new glycolipid was extracted from harvested cells with chloroform-methanol (2:1, v/v) and initially precipitated out in acetone. A series of column (DEAE-cellulose, silicic acid, and Sephadex LH-20) and preparative thin-layer chromatography steps yielded a homogeneous preparation. A single sugar was released by saponification and it was identified to be trehalose by paper chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography of the trimethylsilyl derivative. The lipid moiety was determined to be exclusively mycolic acids. The major mycolic acid component of this glycolipid was isolated, purified as the methyl ester, and characterized to be methyl alpha-mycolate by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The molar ratio of trehalose to mycolic acids was determined to be 1:1. The other acyl group in MAT was established to be acetate by gas-liquid chromatography. Methylation analysis showed the mycolate and acetate ester linkages to the 6 and 6' positions of trehalose. The time course of incorporation of 14C-labeled acetate into the mycolates of both MAT and total cellular fatty acids was followed. These results showed that the synthesis of MAT is rapid and linear for the initial 20 min of incubation whereas the curve for the total cellular mycolates minus MAT (an estimate of the cell wall mycolates) had a 25-30-min lag period. When the label in the lipids was chased out with an excess of unlabeled acetate, relatively rapid decline in the labeled MAT resulted with a corresponding rise in the level of radioactivity in the mycolates of the nonextractable cellular fraction (assumed to be the cell wall fraction). Thus mycolic acids are rapidly transferred from MAT to the cell wall of M. tuberculosis.
Media activism during the 2013 Brazilian protests: Twitter as a space of criticism to traditional media

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In Brazil, criticism of traditional media is not a new issue, but the wave of protests of 2013 gave new energy to this practice due to the dissemination of social networks’ use. In this article, we analyze a corpus of 6,256 tweets with the hashtag #vemprarua referring to one of the 12 traditional Brazilian media. Our results show that social media is used to confront, unmask, and denounce traditional media and that these critiques may come from opposite poles of the ideological spectrum.
Empirical Verification of the Performance Measurement System

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

In their endeavor to increase profits, companies usually become aware that this is predominantly the result of employee competence and satisfaction, processes excellence and customer's satisfaction. Based on that assertion, companies integrate different managerial tools in the performance measurement system (PMS) and therefore in their management system. One of the most dominant managerial tools is the Kaplan and Norton's balanced scorecard (BSC). In this research, the approach that represents the basis for further work in the field of research in PMSs of companies, with the use of econometric tools, was empirically tested and developed.
Fetal Electrocardiography and Web based Out-of-Hospital Monitoring System

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Recently, healthcare monitoring systems have utilized the modern wireless networks and internet technologies. One of the most developed applications in the healthcare monitoring systems is the fetal heart beat detection. The fetal heartbeat signal contains potentially precise information. This information could assist clinicians in making more appropriate and timely decisions during pregnancy period and labour. The continuous change in the fetal heartbeat signals during the pregnancy period pushes the researchers to focus on building the out-hospital monitoring system. This paper proposes an implementation of out-of-hospital fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) monitoring system. The proposed monitoring system comprises of an acquisition part and data transfer part. The acquisition part acquires FECG signal through use a Least Mean Square (LMS) based adaptive filter. In addition, this part has been written in MATLAB graphical user interface (GUI) to simplify the system usage by pregnant women. The other part uses the internet based web page to transmit FECG data to physicians for monitoring, diagnosis and pregnant care at a significantly low cost, regardless the location of pregnant women. Moreover, a database could be built at the hospital to manage the patients and physicians reports and decisions.
Serum testosterone, sperm quality, cytological, physicochemical and biochemical characteristics of the prostatic fraction of dogs with prostatomegaly

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Contents Prostatomegaly is a common finding in older non‐neutered dogs. This study compared the serum testosterone, sperm quality and characteristics of the prostatic fraction between healthy dogs and dogs with prostatomegaly. Blood samples of ten dogs (five dogs from each group) were taken for serum testosterone measurement. Sperm motility, vigour, concentration, viability, membrane functionality and morphology were analysed in sperm‐rich fraction. Osmolality, pH , cell types, and albumin, haemoglobin, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and chloride were analysed in prostatic fraction. Dogs with prostatomegaly have the lowest sperm motility, vigour, concentration and functional membrane. Dogs with prostatomegaly have the highest glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol. Glucose was the only constituent positively correlated with serum testosterone and prostate volume. It can be concluded that dogs with prostatomegaly have poorer sperm quality, and glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol in prostatic fraction can be used as prostatomegaly biomarkers.
Competitiveness of cattle breeding in Switzerland: the value of policies enabling informed decisions

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Using the case of of Swiss Brown Cattle breeding, this paper develops the hypothesis that a two-angle strategy of fostering competition and providing maxi-mum access to information is promising for states to attain high competitiveness on a national level. Abandoning the monopoly on bull sperm while subsidising classifica-tions of animals in order to provide a maximum base of knowledge helped to increase Switzerland’s self-sufficiency in Brown Cattle sperm from under 50 to almost 100 per cent.
Antioxidant-Enriched Diet on Oxidative Stress and Inflammation Gene Expression: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) is associated with beneficial effects against chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs). In particular, the content of micronutrients leads to an improvement of the oxidative and inflammatory profiles. A randomized, parallel, controlled study, on 24 subjects, was conducted to evaluate if 2-week supplementation with a mixed apple and bergamot juice (MAB juice), had a positive impact on the body composition, the biochemical profile, and oxidative and inflammatory gene expression (Superoxide dismutase (SOD1), Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ (PPARγ), catalase (CAT), chemokine C-C motif ligand 5 (CCL5), Nuclear Factor Kappa B Subunit 1 (NFKB1), Vitamin D Receptor (VDR), and Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF)), respect to a MedDiet. Body composition evaluation analysis showed a gain in lean mass (p < 0.01). Moreover, a significant reduction in total cholesterol/HDL index (p < 0.01) was pointed out between the two groups. Gene expression analysis highlighted an increase in MIF (p ≤ 0.05), PPARγ (p < 0.001), SOD1 (p ≤ 0.05), and VDR (p ≤ 0.05) expressions when comparing MedDiet and MedDiet + MAB juice groups. These data based on the nutrigenomics approach demonstrated that supplementing 2 weeks of MAB juice to the MedDiet could contribute to a reduction in the risk of CNCDs.

Ethnic Minorities

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article examines the various types of life stresses that members of racial minority groups experience. A model of the life stress process is presented, and several hypotheses are offered to describe the situation of members of ethnic minority groups with respect to life stress. Propositions leading toward a cross-cultural theory of life stress, ethnicity, and culture are presented. A dominant theme is that culture forms the context in which stressful life events derive their meaning. Each culture has its own barometer for measuring the stressfulness of any life event. There are culturally patterned ways of viewing and responding to stressor stimuli. The Stress, Resistant, Delivery (SRD) model is presented as a theoretical framework for counseling members of ethnic minority groups.
Code for "Sovereign default resolution through maturity extension" JIE 2020

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Fortran and MATLAB code for the model in Gabriel Mihalache, Sovereign default resolution through maturity extension, Journal of International Economics, 2020, 103326, ISSN 0022-1996, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jinteco.2020.103326. (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022199620300453) Abstract: Sovereign default episodes are resolved by restructuring the debt through renegotiations and implemented by bond swaps and resumption of debt service payments. This process provides debt relief for the sovereign and partially compensates lenders for their losses. In the data, the bulk of such debt relief is implemented by extending the maturity of the debt rather than changing its face value. We augment a standard maturity choice model with a post-default renegotiation phase and study whether it can replicate this observed maturity extension. The model is successful in generating this and other key features of renegotiations and maturity choice, but critically only when we assume that sovereigns continue to be excluded temporarily from financial markets after renegotiation, consistent with the observation that countries do not immediately resume borrowing. In contrast, a version of the model where market access is restored promptly features a counterfactual reduction in maturity, a puzzle for the standard model. Keywords: Sovereign debt; Maturity choice; Maturity extension; Sovereign default; Renegotiation
Candida adherence phenomena, from commensalism to pathogenicity.

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Molecules present in the most external layers of Candida cells are essential for the adherence to host surfaces, playing a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of candidiasis. Receptors for fibrinogen, fibronectin and other components of the extracellular matrix have been described in Candida surfaces. Their expression may be influenced by particular host conditions, and these changes may be important in the transition from commensalism to pathogenicity. Surface proteins are also essential in the interactions of the fungal cell with the various constitutive, inducible defense host mechanisms that act during candidiasis.
Disengagement beliefs in smokers: Do they influence the effects of a tailored persuasive message advocating smoking cessation?

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Disengagement beliefs function to reduce cognitive dissonance and a number of predictions with regard to disengagement beliefs have been tested and verified. However, the influence of disengagement beliefs on persuasion has not been studied yet. In a field-experiment, 254 smokers were randomly assigned to a persuasive message condition or a no-information control condition. First, it was assessed to what extent disengagement beliefs influenced persuasion. In smokers with low adherence to disengagement beliefs, quitting activity (attempting to quit) in the control condition was high, but this was not further increased by persuasive information on the negative outcomes of smoking. In contrast, smokers who strongly adhered to disengagement beliefs showed low quitting activity in the control condition, but significantly more quitting activity when they received the persuasive message. Second, it was studied what smokers do when they experience negative affect caused by the persuasive message. The results show that in smokers who strongly adhered to disengagement beliefs, negative affect was associated with less quitting activity. Although these results show that quitting activity as assessed at 2 and 8 months follow-ups was influenced by disengagement beliefs, point prevalence seven-day quitting was not. This study shows that adherence to disengagement beliefs is a relevant individual difference in understanding effects of smoking cessation interventions.
Data from Gene Expression Signatures Identify Novel Therapeutics for Metastatic Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

<div>AbstractPurpose:<p>Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are uncommon malignancies noted for their propensity to metastasize and comparatively favorable prognosis. Although both the treatment options and clinical outcomes have improved in the past decades, most patients will die of metastatic disease. New systemic therapies are needed.</p>Experimental Design:<p>Tissues were obtained from 43 patients with well-differentiated pNETs undergoing surgery. Gene expression was compared between primary tumors versus liver and lymph node metastases using RNA-Seq. Genes that were selectively elevated at only one metastatic site were filtered out to reduce tissue-specific effects. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) and the Connectivity Map (CMap) identified drugs likely to antagonize metastasis-specific targets. The biological activity of top identified agents was tested <i>in vitro</i> using two pNET cell lines (BON-1 and QGP-1).</p>Results:<p>A total of 902 genes were differentially expressed in pNET metastases compared with primary tumors, 626 of which remained in the common metastatic profile after filtering. Analysis with IPA and CMap revealed altered activity of factors involved in survival and proliferation, and identified drugs targeting those pathways, including inhibitors of mTOR, PI3K, MEK, TOP2A, protein kinase C, NF-kB, cyclin-dependent kinase, and histone deacetylase. Inhibitors of MEK and TOP2A were consistently the most active compounds.</p>Conclusions:<p>We employed a complementary bioinformatics approach to identify novel therapeutics for pNETs by analyzing gene expression in metastatic tumors. The potential utility of these drugs was confirmed by <i>in vitro</i> cytotoxicity assays, suggesting drugs targeting MEK and TOP2A may be highly efficacious against metastatic pNETs. This is a promising strategy for discovering more effective treatments for patients with pNETs.</p></div>
