The purpose of this research was to determine the role of music and genre of music that produces the fastest typing speeds in words per minute. Respondent of this research divided into two groups. The first group is a control group that learned keyboarding skill without music, the rest group learned keyboarding skill with music. The music that used in that experiments coming from Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 26. The number of the word per minute for each respondent was recorded, three times, at the beginning, in the middle, and the end of the course; labeled by Kstart, Kmiddle, and Kend. In spite of identifying role of genre music to typing performance, the second group typed predetermined line while listening to different predetermined music. The genre categories uses were jazz, blues, rock, reggae, degung (Sundanese music), and classic. The number of words per minute for each respondent was recorded. Every respondent has three trials were run. The recorded information was compared. The result of this experiment showed that music played a significant role to shape typing performance. Second, this experiment showed that rock music produced the fastest typing speeds. Blues produced the second fastest typing speed. Jazz produces the third fastest typing speed.

Background. The role of magnesium in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal with delirium is indefinite, although it is well known about its participation in the pathogenesis of this severe condition. The study was aimed to reveal the benefits and disadvantages of the sedation with added magnesium sulfate in comparison with traditional sedative therapy. Materials and methods. In our study, we tested 40 treated patients, which were randomized in two groups. We controlled the level of sedation by the Richmond agitation-sedation scale. The target level of sedation was between 0 and –2 points. We maintained this level in all the patients. In all groups, we evaluated the following values: duration of delirium, mean arterial pressure, pulse, the level of serum magnesium, cortisol and serotonin, laboratory indicators of kidneys, and liver condition. In the control group, we carried out the sedation with 10–20 mg of diazepam every 4–6 hours with infusion of barbiturates as needed. The treatment in the research group was identical with addition of magnesium sulfate 50 mg/kg every 8 hours. Results. The results of the study demonstrated that the duration of delirium is significantly lower in the research group in comparison with the control (p < 0.05). We found hypomagnesemia in almost half of the patients. The indicators of haemodynamics such as mean arterial pressure and pulse were significantly lower in both groups on the third day (p < 0.05). We found 4 cases (20 %) of hypotension in the research group and 2 cases (10 %) in the control group. The study of the dynamics of serum cortisol and serotonin showed the significant difference on the third day in both groups (p < 0.05). We found no difference in these laboratory parameters on the third day between groups (p ≥ 0.05). There was no significant difference between the laboratory indicators of kidneys and liver condition in both groups (p ≥ 0.05). Conclusions. The use of magnesium sulfate allowed decreasing the duration of delirium but had an excessive effect on haemodynamics. Such biomarkers as serum cortisol and serotonin didn’t verify the effect of magnesium sulfate.

Introduction. Strontium salts are anti-irritants for chemically induced sensory irritation. Interstitial cystitis is a painful disease without definitive therapy. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of strontium in bladder with experimental interstitial cystitis model. Material and Methods. Rats’ bladders in control group were instilled with NaCl. Second group was instilled with E. coli LPS. Third group was instilled with strontium. Fourth group was initially instilled with strontium and then LPS. Fifth group was instilled with LPS initially and then strontium. Urine of rats was collected at the beginning and end of the study. Results. Histamine and TNF-α changes were statistically significant in the second group but were not significant in the third group. When we compared the histamine levels of second via fourth and fifth groups the changes were statistically not significant. When we compared the TNF-α levels of second via fourth and fifth groups the changes were statistically significant. Conclusions. In our model, strontium did not make any significant changes in histopathology or histamine levels; however, it significantly reduced the levels of TNF-α. Given the role of TNF-α in the physiopathology of interstitial cystitis, these results suggested that further studies are required to evaluate the potential use of strontium in the management of interstitial cystitis.

Article 24 (1) of the 1945 Constitution States after the third amendment, “the judicial power shall be independent in administering justice so as to uphold the law and equality.” The Indonesian Constitutional Court is one of the performers of the independent judicial power who plays a significant role in the enforcement of the constitution and the principle of the state based on the law by its authority and obligations as determined by the 1945 Constitution. This paper intends to study the Indonesian Constitutional Court to find out whether the Constitutional Court in exercising its constitutional authority can be independent. Also, this article will examine not just institutional independence but also judges independence to understand current issues related to the role of ethics and conduct of judges. The independence of the Indonesian Constitutional Court supported by the 1945 Constitution after the amendments from 1999 until 2002, and further stipulated in Law. However, it can be said that this institution has ups and downs of public trust due to corruption cases conducted by constitutional justices. Also, in several political instances showed efforts of political institutions to limit the authority of the Constitutional Court. In its experiences, the Constitutional Court succeeded in convincing the parties through its decisions and strengthening institutional independence against the influence that tried to destabilize its institutions. The Council of Ethics of Constitutional Judges that maintains the values and behavior of judges also continuously works and efficient enough in overseeing the ethics and conduct of judges. The decision of the Ethics Council may also be accepted as a proportional decision.

This review examines social science and practitioner literature regarding the relationship between ocean sciences big data projects and ocean governance. I contend that three overarching approaches to the study of the development of ocean sciences big data techne (the arts of data creation, management, and sharing) and data technologies can be discerned. The first approach traces histories of ocean sciences data technologies, highlighting the significant role of governments in their development. The second approach is comprised of an oceanic contribution to the study of ontological politics. The third takes a human-social centered approach, examining the networks of people and practices responsible for creating and maintaining ocean sciences big data infrastructure. The three approaches make possible a comparative reflection on the entangled ethical strands at work in the literature.

Introduction. Minimal attention has been given to the role of salivary microelements, the importance they have in reducing the intensity of caries, and the effect of caries prophylaxes.Aim. This research aimed to determine the concentration and quantity of Zn and its impact on the prevention and the reduction of the intensity of caries in schoolchildren aged 12-13 years with permanent dentition.Methods. For this research, we analyzed the stimulated and nonstimulated full saliva of 106 schoolchildren divided into three groups by mean decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index. The control group consisted of 25 caries-free children, the second group had 47 children with mean DMFT index of 1 to 6, and the third group had 34 children with DMFT index of ≥ 6. Complete saliva was collected from all children in a sterile test tube.Results. The concentration of Zn in saliva before stimulation in caries-free children has variations of the order of 0.001+ to 0.01 mmol/l. The maximum concentration after stimulation is 6.72 mmol/l, while the maximum value is 64.38 mmol/l.Conclusion. The Zn concentration in the stimulated saliva showed a significant increase in the group of caries-free children and could be described as a positive value for the reduction of caries.

Background Trichinosis is a parasitic disease caused by ingestion larvae of Trichinella spiralis (TS). In Russia trichinosis of pigs is widely spreaded. Invasion occurs when human or animal eat contaminated meat. TS is adapted to many hosts, and due to its wide spread, there has always been a demand of safe alternatives for this infection. A lot of information has been gathered about sharp decreasing of quantity of trichinae in muscles at repeated invasion of predators. We took a chance of applying antigen to TS as a vaccine, however, rate of immunogenetic effect wasn't high. Therefore, in an experimental work, we decided to inject vaccine and immunomodulators together at the same time. Material and Methods We subjected rats infected with TS to conventional treatment (vaccine) along with Cina 6cH. There were five groups as follows: The first group was injected antigen alone and no immunomodulators; the second group was injected antigen and Ronkoleikin; the third group was injected antigen and Sodium nucleinate, the fourth group was injected antigen and Cina C6cH; and the fifth group was a control group, which was injected neither antigen nor immunomodulators. After 21 days of vaccination (or giving homeopathic medicine) rats were contaminated TS in a dose of 200germs/animal. Results The rats were euthanized after two months. They we then analysed for stomach contents and quantity of worms in muscles. The highest number of worms were found in fifth group (no antigen and no immunomodulators) (more than 2600 worms/animal. The quantity of worms in the second group (injection of antigen and Ronkoleikin) was in four times less than in the control group. The most efficient substance was Ronkoleikin (900+160 worms/animal); Sodium nucleinate (1100+100 worms/per animal); Cina C6cH (1400+50 worms/animal). Conclusion Cina C6cH along with and others immunomodulators was able to exhibit protective effect against experimental trichinosis. Further research with rigorous designs is needed to explore the role of Cina in Trichinella spiralis.

In 2009, the global semiconductor market was worth $219.6 billion. Japan has the third largest semiconductor market at $38.3 billion, behind America and China. Japan has a unique semiconductor distribution system based on close relations between semiconductor distributors and major IDMs (integrated device manufacturers), electronics manufacturers, and automobile manufacturers. Because of this, it is difficult for overseas semiconductor manufacturers and fabless semiconductor companies to enter the market. Semiconductor distributors play a significant role in Japan’s semiconductor distribution system. The semiconductor market here has four main characteristics. These characteristics are the reason why Japan’s semiconductor distribution system has developed the way it has.

AbstractThe phenomenon of paternally dependent familial twinning has been known in human and animal genetics since the 1920s, but still remains without any theoretical explanation and is indeed a neglected field of inquiry. Over the last two decades investigations in reproduction biology have discovered the significant role of multiple paternally dependent errors in fertilization including androgenic triploidy and moles. We suggest the hypothesis that the fathers of twins in the relevant families carry gene variants that increase the probability of dispermy, diplospermy and male pronucleus heterochrony as well as involvement of two male pronuclei in the fertilization of two female meiotic products. Any resulting twins would be an exceptional intermediate between MZ and DZ twins — and might properly be described as “sesquizygotic” (SZ). Paternal familial twinning may also go together with infertility due to triploidy, moles and chimerism. The hypothesis: (i) places the curiosities of paternally derived twinning within the framework of current knowledge of reproductive genetics and verifiable phenomena; (ii) predicts the existence of families in which twinning is associated with reproductive abnormalities; (iii) predicts an occurrence in relevant families of the third and intermediate category of SZ twins. Families with paternal twinning may thus provide the natural selective system for the search of unusual cases of primary chimeras, the frequency of which is still unknown.

Background/Aim. Considering the fact that role of oxidative stress in pathogenesis of thrombophilia in pregnancy has still not been clarified, the aim of our study was to assess the redox status of pregnant women with thrombophilia. Methods. The study involved 120 pregnant women who were divided into two groups: thrombophilia and normal pregnancy group. The thrombophilia group consisted of 60 pregnant women with thrombophilia, while the normal pregnancy group included 60 physiologically healthy pregnant women. Blood samples for biochemical analysis were collected at the end of first, second and third trimester of pregnancy. Concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitrites (NO2-) and index of lipid peroxidation measured as TBARS were measured in plasma. Level of reduced glutathione (GSH), activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were measured in erythrocytes. Results. In women with thrombophilia, NO2- values were increased in the first and third trimester when compared with healthy pregnant women (p<0.05). The higher levels of TBARS and H2O2 were noticed in women with thrombophilia in the first trimester when compared to healthy pregnant women (p<0.05). The values of SOD and CAT were lower in women with thrombophilia in the third and GSH in the first trimester compared to control group (p<0.05). Conclusion. Our results suggest increased generation of pro-oxidants in thrombophillia at the beginning of gestation, which declines as gestation progresses and reaches the similar values as in normal pregnancy at the end of pregnancy. Generally viewed, thrombophilia was associated with impaired antioxidant capacity - SOD and CAT were lower in the third and GSH in the first trimester compared to healthy women.

AbstractThe extensive use of fipronil (FPN) may trigger hazards to more than insects. The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the abrogating role of Terminalia laxiflora (TL) methanol extract (TLE) against the neurotoxic effects provoked by FPN. Fourty male albino rats were assigned into four equal groups. The first group served as control, the second one was orally administered FPN (10.5 mg/kg BW), the third group was given combination of FPN and TLE) (100 mg/kg BW), and the fourth one was orally given TLE. Our findings highlighted the efficacy of TLE as a neuroprotectant through a significant reduction in malondialdehyde (MDA) content by 25.8%, elevations of the reduced glutathione (GSH) level, catalase (CAT,) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities by 30.9, 41.2, and 48.2% respectively. Consequently, the relative mRNA levels of both Bax and caspase-3 were down-regulated by 40.54% and caspase-3 by 30.35% compared with the control group. Moreover, restoration of the pathological tissue injuries were detected. In conclusion, TLE proved to be a potent neuroprotective agent against the FPN-induced toxicity.
