Makna Pesan Tato Sebagai Bentuk Identitas Diri Di Kalangan Pengguna Tato Di Komunitas Riau Tatto Community (Rtc)

Tattoo is a symbol work of art. Meanings of the symbols is an integral part and the interaction of different communication patterns of thought and action which later became the deal. The phenomenon of tattoo is not born out of a tube called modern world and urban. Historically, tattoos were born and come from inland culture, traditional, even old-fashioned can be said. Community tattoo in Pekanbaru from the largest tattoo community in Indonesia Indonesian Subculture: Riau Tatto Community (RTC), which was established in April 2013. The community is comprised of 28 and 8 of them are tatto maker (tatto maker) who has his own tattoo studio and chaired by Buntala and regulars they called lovers of tattoos (tattoo lover). This study aims to determine the meaning of a message tattooed as a representation, interpretation and object identity among users in Riau tattoo Tatto Community.This study uses qualitative research methods to perform the method of semiotic analysis approach. Subjects in this study is the chairman of RTC along with five members of the secretariat who have a tattoo studio (tattoo maker) and members who do not have a tattoo studio (tattoo lover) each - each representing the five classifications of tattoos determined through purposive sampling technique. Data collected by observation, interview, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the phenomenological research data analysis according to Creswell. Mechanical examination of the validity of data through triangulation.The results of this study indicate that the meaning of a message tattooed as a representation of identity among the tattoo community RTC, ie the tattoo community RTC showed their understanding of art appreciation, actualization representing self-identity users multiple tattoos background meaning that formed in the pictures tattoo. the meaning of the message of tattoos as an interpretation of identity among the tattoo community RTC, the variety of tattoo designs are multi interpretation because the tattoo is something very symbolic to show the values of interpretation that refer to their previous understanding of the various symbols that have been or associate in the local culture. meaning tattoos messages as objects of identity among the tattoo community RTC, the tattoo can show a very personal side of the tattoo as well as the meaning of the images used and motivation in making these tattoos

Simultaneous spectrofluorometric analysis of tablets containing hydrochlorothiazide combined with timolol maleate or amiloride hydrochloride

Green and sensitive spectrofluorometric methods have been developed and validated for the determination of timolol maleate (TML)/hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) and amiloride hydrochloride (AMH)/hydrochlorothiazide in tablets. The proposed spectrofluorometric procedures were found to be linear in the range of 4–12, 5-35 and 0.025–0.2 mg L–1 for HCT, TML and AMH, resp. The excitation and emission wavelengths for HCT, TML and AMH at room temperature were 270 and 375, 295 and 435, 330 and 415 nm, resp. The methods were validated with respect to ICH guidelines. The AMH showed higher sensitivity with lower values of LOD and LOQ values compared to HCT and TML. The proposed methods were applied to two pharmaceutical formulations; the method for HCT and AMH has proven as reliable assaying method, whereas the method for TML, when combined with HCT, is applicable to screening semi-quantitative analyses

Endothelial cell apoptosis in chronically obstructed and reperfused pulmonary artery

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Endothelial dysfunction is a major complication of pulmonary endarterectomy (PTE) that can lead to pulmonary edema and persistent pulmonary hypertension. We hypothesized that endothelial dysfunction is related to increased endothelial-cell (EC) death.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>In piglets, the left pulmonary artery (PA) was ligated to induce lung ischemia then reimplanted into the main PA to reperfuse the lung. Animals sacrificed 5 weeks after ligation (n = 5), 2 days after reperfusion (n = 5), or 5 weeks after reperfusion (n = 5) were compared to a sham-operated group (n = 5). PA vasoreactivity was studied and eNOS assayed. EC apoptosis was assessed by TUNEL in the proximal and distal PA and by caspase-3 activity assay in the proximal PA. Gene expression of pro-apoptotic factors (thrombospondin-1 (Thsp-1) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1)) and anti-apoptotic factors vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was investigated by QRT-PCR.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Endothelium-dependent relaxation was altered 5 weeks after ligation (<it>p </it>= 0.04). The alterations were exacerbated 2 days after reperfusion (p = 0.002) but recovered within 5 weeks after reperfusion. EC apoptosis was increased 5 weeks after PA ligation (<it>p </it>= 0.02), increased further within 2 days after reperfusion (<it>p </it>< 0.0001), and returned to normal within 5 weeks after reperfusion. Whereas VEGF and bFGF expressions remained unchanged, TSP and PAI-1 expressions peaked 5 weeks after ligation (<it>p </it>= 0.001) and returned to normal within 2 days after reperfusion.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Chronic lung ischemia induces over-expression of pro-apoptotic factors. Lung reperfusion is followed by a dramatic transient increase in EC death that may explain the development of endothelial dysfunction after PE. Anti-apoptotic agents may hold considerable potential for preventing postoperative complications.</p

HEAVY METALS IN CULTIVATED SOIL AND PLANTS OF DAMOUR URBAN AREA - LEBANON

Παρουσιάζονται για πρώτη φορά δεδομένα συγκεντρώσεων βαρέων μετάλλων στο έδαφος και καλλιέργειες της περιοχής Νταμούρ Λιβάνου. Μετρήθηκαν οι ψευδοολικές και κινητοποιήσιμες συγκεντρώσεις των Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Co, Mn, Fe, Ba, Pb και Cd σε δείγματα εδαφών καθώς και οι αντίστοιχες ολικές συγκεντρώσεις των ίδιων στοιχείων σε φυτικούς ιστούς λαχανικών που καλλιεργούνται στην περιοχή Δεν ανιχνεύθηκαν συγκεντρώσεις των μη απαραίτητων στοιχείων Pb και Asενώ αυτές των υπόλοιπων στοιχείων που μελετήθηκαν βρίσκονται εντός των φυσιολογικών ορίων. Οι συγκεντρώσεις στο έδαφος φαίνεται να επηρεάζονται από την προηγούμενη χρήση γης και αυτές στα φυτά φαίνεται να ρυθμίζονται μέσω της λειτουργίας σύνθετων μεταβολικών μηχανισμών.Preliminary data on heavy metals concentrations in soil and edible plants of DamourLebanon are presented for the first time. Concentration ranges of Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Co, Mn, Fe, Ba, Pb and Cd in soils and vegetables collected from urban allotments in Damour were determined and assessed taking into account the pseudototal (extracted by aqua regia) and mobilizable (0.43 M acetic acid extractable) concentrations of the elements in the rhizosphere soil of the plants as well as the total concentrations in edible plant tissue. Average elemental concentrations in urban allotments are low in general. No detectable concentrations of the non-essential heavy metals Pb and As were measured in the studied plants while concentrations of micronutrient elements in plants were within normal ranges. The collected data indicate that previous land use is an important factor controlling heavy metal content in soil and that there is a complex mechanism controlling micronutrient uptake by plants

INTERACTION OF HEAVY METALS IN THE SOIL-PLANT SYSTEM OF URBAN GARDENS IN ATHENS, GREECE

Παρουσιάζονται προκαταρκτικά δεδομένα που αφορούν την αλληλεπίδραση μεταξύ εδάφους και βρώσιμων φυτών ως προς τις συγκεντρώσεις βαρέων μετάλλων στην πόλη των Αθηνών. Προσδιορίστηκε το εύρος των συγκεντρώσεων των στοιχείων Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Co, Mn, Fe, Ba, Pb και Cd σε εδάφη και φυτά αστικών καλλιεργειών περιοχών της Αθήνας και συγκεκριμένα μελετήθηκε το ψευδο-ολικό περιεχόμενο (εξαγωγή με βασιλικό ύδωρ) και το κινητοποιήσιμο (εξαγωγή με 0.43 Μ οξικό οξύ) κλάσμα των στοιχείων στο έδαφος καθώς και η ολική συγκέντρωση των στοιχείων στους φυτικούς ιστούς. Οι εδαφικές συγκεντρώσεις που μετρήθηκαν είναι γενικά χαμηλότερες αυτών που αναφέρονται για τα εδάφη της ευρύτερης περιοχής της Αθήνας. Οι συγκεντρώσεις των μη απαραίτητων ιχνοστοιχείων Pb και Cd δεν ανιχνεύτηκαν στα φυτικά δείγματα, ενώ αυτές των μικροθρεπτικών κυμαίνονται σε κανονικά πλαίσια. Τα δεδομένα καταδεικνύουν τη σημασία της προηγούμενης χρήσης γης στον καθορισμό των επιπέδων συγκέντρωσης των στοιχείων στο έδαφος και την περιπλοκότητα των μηχανισμών που ελέγχουν την απορρόφηση των στοιχείων από τα φυτά.Preliminary data on the interaction between soil and edible plants with respect to heavy metal concentrations in Athens, Greece are presented.

Synchronous machine parameter identification in frequency and time domain

This paper presents the results of a frequency and time-domain identification procedure to estimate the linear parameters of a salient-pole synchronous machine at standstill. The objective of this study is to use several input signals to identify the model structure and parameters of a salient-pole synchronous machine from standstill test data. The procedure consists to define, to conduct the standstill tests and also to identify the model structure. The signals used for identification are the different excitation voltages at standstill and the flowing current in different windings. We estimate the parameters of operational impedances, or in other words the reactance and the time constants. The tests were carried out on synchronous machine of 1.5 kVA 380V 1500 rpm

The Clemson Intelligent Design Environment For Stereolithography-Cides 2.0

There are a large number of commercial Rapid Prototyping (RP) devices available today. All ofthese machines begin with a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model, which is tessellated, sliced and then built layer-by-Iayer on the RP device. All ofthese operations, except the actual building ofthe part, are completed on a computer. Therefore, many improvements to the RP processes can be achieved through software, without affecting the RP devices or the warranties on them. This has led to the development of a front-end software product to support the task of preparing the part to be built. The Clemson Intelligent Design Environment for Stereolithography (CIDES) is a user-centered interface between the CAD system and RP systems, primarily the Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA). CIDES 2.0 is designed to provide a variety oftools which are valuable to the users ofRP systems, including the ability to view and modify tessellated (STL) files, generate supports, and slice STL files into layer (SLI) files for use on an SLA. It also provides the ability to view SLI and merged (V) files. Furthermore, CIDES offers additional translation capabilities that make it valuable for other RP processes. The package has proven useful in the Laboratory to Advance Industrial Prototyping (LAIP) at Clemson University. CIDES 2.0 is a new X Windows-based release based on the original version ofCIDES with many additional features. A new HumanComputer Interface is the major improvement to this release.Mechanical Engineerin

Rapidly Evolving Coronary Aneurysm in a Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) formation in the setting of an acute inflammatory state due to connective tissue disease is rare. We report a case of rapid progression from an ectatic to an aneursymatic left circumflex coronary artery leading to an acute coronary event in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We report the accelerated growth of the aneurysm as it was temporally related to the lapse in treatment and the management strategies involved with this entity
