Pengaruh Pendapatan Daerah dan Kinerja Keuangan terhadap Pertumbuhan Ekonomi dan Kesejahteraan Masyarakat pada Kabupaten/kota Provinsi Lampung

Regional income is one of the important factors in the implementation of government wheels and become one of the important benchmarks in the implementation of regional autonomy. This study aims to test empirically the relationship between regional revenue and financial performance on Economic Growth and Economic Welfare in the Regency/City Lampung Province. The data used are data of regencies/cities in Lampung Province 2014-2016. By using Panel method with fixed method, the result was significant influence between regional income and financial performance to growth economic and welfare society. Empirical evidence indicates that although all regional income variables are influential, the regional restitution has no significant effect on the Welfare of the Community in Lampung Province

A Framework for Evaluating Security in the Presence of Signal Injection Attacks

Sensors are embedded in security-critical applications from medical devices to nuclear power plants, but their outputs can be spoofed through electromagnetic and other types of signals transmitted by attackers at a distance. To address the lack of a unifying framework for evaluating the effects of such transmissions, we introduce a system and threat model for signal injection attacks. We further define the concepts of existential, selective, and universal security, which address attacker goals from mere disruptions of the sensor readings to precise waveform injections. Moreover, we introduce an algorithm which allows circuit designers to concretely calculate the security level of real systems. Finally, we apply our definitions and algorithm in practice using measurements of injections against a smartphone microphone, and analyze the demodulation characteristics of commercial Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs). Overall, our work highlights the importance of evaluating the susceptibility of systems against signal injection attacks, and introduces both the terminology and the methodology to do so.Comment: This article is the extended technical report version of the paper presented at ESORICS 2019, 24th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS), Luxembourg, Luxembourg, September 201

Signaling from the plasma-membrane localized plant immune receptor RPM1 requires self-association of the full-length protein

Pathogen recognition first occurs at the plasma membrane, where receptor-like kinases perceive pathogen-derived molecules and initiate immune responses. To abrogate this immune response, pathogens evolved effector proteins that act as virulence factors, often following delivery to the host cell. Plants evolved intracellular receptors, known as NOD-like receptors (NLRs), to detect effectors, thereby ensuring activation of effector-triggered immunity. However, despite their importance in immunity, the molecular mechanisms underlying effector recognition and subsequent immune activation by membrane-localized NLRs remain to be fully elucidated. Our analyses reveal the importance of and need for self-association and the coordinated interplay of specific domains and conserved residues for NLR activity. This could provide strategies for crop improvement, contributing to effective, environmentally friendly, and sustainable solutions for future agriculture

Thermal Decomposition Kinetics and Mechanism of In-Situ Prepared Bio-Based Poly(propylene 2,5-furan dicarboxylate)/Graphene Nanocomposites

Bio-based polyesters are a new class of materials that are expected to replace their fossil-based homologues in the near future. In this work, poly(propylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PPF) nanocomposites with graphene nanoplatelets were prepared via the in-situ melt polycondensation method. The chemical structure of the resulting polymers was confirmed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Thermal stability, decomposition kinetics and the decomposition mechanism of the PPF nanocomposites were studied in detail. According to thermogravimetric analysis results, graphene nanoplatelets did nοt affect the thermal stability of PPF at levels of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5 wt.%, but caused a slight increase in the activation energy values. Pyrolysis combined with gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy revealed that the decomposition mechanism of the polymer was not altered by the presence of graphene nanoplatelets but the extent of secondary homolytic degradation reactions was increased

Plant “helper” immune receptors are Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channels

Plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) regulate immunity and cell death. In Arabidopsis, a subfamily of “helper” NLRs is required by many “sensor” NLRs. Active NRG1.1 oligomerized, was enriched in plasma membrane puncta, and conferred cytoplasmic calcium ion (Ca2+) influx in plant and human cells. NRG1.1-dependent Ca2+ influx and cell death were sensitive to Ca2+ channel blockers and were suppressed by mutations affecting oligomerization or plasma membrane enrichment. Ca2+ influx and cell death mediated by NRG1.1 and ACTIVATED DISEASE RESISTANCE 1 (ADR1), another helper NLR, required conserved negatively charged N-terminal residues. Whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings demonstrated that Arabidopsis helper NLRs form Ca2+-permeable cation channels to directly regulate cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels and consequent cell death. Thus, helper NLRs transduce cell death signals directly

A Model for How Signal Duration Can Determine Distinct Outcomes of Gene Transcription Programs

The reason why IL-6 induces a pro-inflammatory response, while IL-10 induces an anti-inflammatory response, despite both cytokines activating the same transcription factor, STAT3, is not well understood. It is known that IL-6 induces a transient STAT3 signal and that IL-10 induces a sustained STAT3 signal due to the STAT3-induced inhibitor SOCS3's ability to bind to the IL-6R and not the IL-10R. We sought to develop a general transcriptional network that is capable of translating sustained signals into one response, while translating transient signals into a second response. The general structure of such a network is that the transcription factor STAT3 can induce both an inflammatory response and an anti-inflammatory response by inducing two different genes. The anti-inflammatory gene can bind to and inhibit the inflammatory gene's production and the inflammatory gene can bind to its own promoter and induce its own transcription in the absence of the signal. One prediction that can be made from such a network is that in SOCS3−/− mice, where IL-6 induces a sustained STAT3 signal, that IL-6 would act as an anti-inflammatory cytokine, which has indeed been observed experimentally in the literature
