Proposed Organization of Family Cancer Clinics in Indonesia
AbstractAround 10-15% of breast cancers are associated hereditary and/or familial predisposition. By definition familial breast occurs in two or more first degree relatives within a nuclear pedigree (first or second degree relatives). Hereditary and familial cancer displays different characteristics in the pathological features, clinical course, response to treatment, and outcomes. Therefore, specific consultation and treatment need to be addressed to patients with hereditary or familial predisposition for example the need for rigorous surveillance and preventive treatment including options for preventive surgery. Cancer clinical genetic service is not yet formally available in daily clinical practice in Indonesia. Surgeons usually become the first medical specialist to see cancer patients with familial predisposition, therefore they have to elaborate clinical cancer genetic service under Family Cancer Clinic (FCC). Clinical genetic service within FCC consists of several step-wise tasks including assessment of personal and family history of cancer, personalized cancer risk assessment, review of medical and family history, individual cancer screening and surveillance recommendations, genetic testing if necessary, discussion of benefits and limitations of genetic test, cancer risk reduction options and preventive strategies, and opportunity to participate in research as well as clinical trial. Nation-wide network for FCC is of importance to share knowledge and skill to perform cancer genetic service. Ability to perform genetic test including the interpretation in Indonesia has also been required

Analyzing and Developing Aspects of the Artist Pipeline for Clemson University Art
Major digital production facilities such as Sony Pictures Imageworks, Pixar Animation studio, Walt Disney Animation Studio, and Epic Games use a production system called a pipeline. The term “pipeline” refers to the structure and process of data flow between the various phases of production from story to final edit. This paper examines current production pipeline practices in the Digital Production Arts program at Clemson University and proposes updates and modifications to the workflow. Additionally, this thesis suggests tools that are intended to improve the pipeline with artist-friendly interfaces and customizable integration between software and remote-production capabilities
Towards the Development of Broad-Spectrum Disease Resistance in Citrus
Transgenic plants expressing Cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (CNGC) and Bcell
lymphoma 2 (bcl-2) transgenes have been shown to be resistant to fungal and viral
pathogens. A PCR amplification product comprising CNGCcit open reading frame
(ORF) with Xba I and Eco RI ends was generated, inserted into pRTL22 plasmid,
transformed into E. coli, and sequenced. The 3.2 kb Hind III fragment of
pRTL22/CNGCcit containing the CaMV 35S promoter with dual enhancer, CNGCcit,
and CaMV 35S terminator was inserted into the Hind III site of pBin 34SGUS to
generate pBin35SCNGCcit construct, and transformed into E. coli. The cDNA clone of
bcl-2 in the pPTN binary vector was digested with Hind III to release a fragment
consisting of CaMV 35S promoter, bcl-2, and CaMV 35S terminator and inserted into
the Hind III site of pBin 34SGUS to generate pBin35SBcl-2 construct. These constructs
along with pPTN334Bcl-2 were used in Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated
transformation of sour orange rootstock, ?Rio Red?, ?Ruby Red? and ?Duncan? grapefruit
cultivars. The presence and expression of CNGCcit and bcl-2 in the transgenic plants was verified by b-glucuronidase histochemical assay, nptII enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay, polymerase chain reaction, Southern blot, northern blot, relative quantitative
reverse transcription PCR , and quantitative real-time PCR. In this study, two transgenic
?Ruby Red? plants were successfully produced with an incorporated CNGCcit gene that
gave a positive result with all the analyses. None of the putative transgenic plants was
transgenic for bcl-2 gene based on Southern and northern analyses. Detached leaf assays
of the transgenic ?Ruby Red? plants showed an enhanced resistance to Xanthomonas
axonopodis pv. citri, Alternaria alternata, and Phytophthora nicotianae. Also, the leaves
did not show any sensitive response to tentoxin. The citrus cytosolic ascorbate
peroxidase (cAPXcit) genomic clone was isolated and characterized. Expression of
cAPXcit in ?Duncan?, non-transgenic control ?Ruby Red?, and ?Rio Red? was suppressed
due to A. alternata and P. nicotianae inoculations. However, an increased expression of
cAPXcit was observed in the inoculated transgenic ?Ruby Red? leaves
Design of an FPGA-based parallel SIMD machine for power flow analysis
Power flow analysis consists of computationally intensive calculations on large matrices, consumes several hours of computational time, and has shown the need for the implementation of application-specific parallel machines. The potential of Single-Instruction stream Multiple-Data stream (SIMD) parallel architectures for efficient operations on large matrices has been demonstrated as seen in the case of many existing supercomputers. The unsuitability of existing parallel machines for low-cost power system applications, their long design cycles, and the difficulty in using them show the need for application-specific SIMI) machines. Advances in VLSI technology and Field-Programmable Gate-Arrays (FPGAs) enable the implementation of Custom Computing Machines (CCMs) which can yield better performance for specific applications. The advent of SoftCore processors made it possible to integrate reconfigurable logic as a slave to a peripheral bus and has demonstrated the ability in the rapid prototyping of complete systems on programmable chips. This thesis aims at designing and implementing an FPGA-based SIMI) machine for power flow analysis. It presents the architecture of an SIMI) machine that consists of an array of processing elements with mesh interconnection and a Soft-Core processor; the latter is used as the host. The FPGAbased SIMI) machine is implemented on the Annapolis Microsystems Wildstar-II board that contains multiple Virtex-II FPGAs. The Soft-Core processor used is the Xilinx Microblaze and the application targeted is matrix multiplication
DELIGNIFIKASI KULIT KOPI MENJADI BAHAN BAKU PULP DENGAN METODE ORGANOSOLV
Pada umumnya kayu digunakan sebagai bahan utama industri pulp dan kertas. Namun semakin banyaknya kebutuhan kayu yang semakin meningkat maka diperlukan adanya pembaharuan atau alternatif bahan baku lain yaitu dengan memanfaatkan limbah kulit kopi sebagai bahan baku kertas ( pulp ).
Kopi mempunyai peranan yang cukup besar bagi sektor perkebunan di Indonesia, karena biji kopi termasuk salah satu komoditi unggulan. Limbah kulit buah kopi hanya digunakan sebagai bahan pakan ternak saja atau sebagai bahan
pembuat pupuk organik, dengan melihat kandungan lignin sebesar 8,67% dan -
selulosa sebesar 41,26% maka seiring berjalannya waktu dan teknologi yang semakin maju kulit buah kopi dapat digunakan sebagai bahan alternatif bahan baku kertas ( pulp ).
Proses pembuatan bahan baku pulp dimulai dengan proses ekstraksi pektin dengan variabel suhu 80oC, kecepatan pengadukan 500 rpm dan waktu pengadukan 75 menit, untuk memisahkan pektin. Kemudian diteruskan dengan proses delignifikasi yang menggunakan metode organosolv. Metode Organosolv adalah proses pemisahan serat dengan menggunakan bahan kimia organik seperti etanol dan metanol. Pada proses delignifikasi variabel yang dijalankan adalah waktu pemasakan 1;1,5;2;2,5;3 jam dengan konsentrasi etanol dan metanol ( v/v ) 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, dan 50%.
Hasil terbaik dari proses delignifikasi kulit kopi menjadi bahan baku pulp dengan metode organosolv adalah pada konsentrasi etanol 40% ( v/v ) dengan waktu pemasakan selama 2,5 jam didapatkan kadar lignin sebesar 3,11%, hal ini
memenuhi syarat sebagai bahan baku pulp yaitu kadar lignin dibawah 20%.

KORELASI INDEKS MASSA TUBUH (IMT) DENGAN ANGKA KEJADIAN OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA (OSA) PADA ANAK USIA SD
Pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak ditentukan bagaimana gaya hidup termasuk pola makan, dan aktivitas sehari-hari yang tentunya tak lepas dari peran orang tua untuk selalu mengawasi dan memperhatikan anak-anaknya. Hal ini harusnya sudah menjadi kesadaran sendiri untuk para orang tua. Namun mayoritas orang tua justru senang jika anaknya makan berlebih sehingga berpotensi untuk obesitas. Tanpa disadari, ini sangat berdampak bagi kesehatan sang anak. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh D Koren dkk.(Koren et al., 2015) Menyatakan adanya peningkatan obesitas pada anak-anak 16,9% disertai komorbiditas. Dari obesitas inilah juga bisa timbul penyakit lain, salah satunya yaitu Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) yang belum terdiagnosis banyak ataupun belum diketahui banyak oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Meskipun dikatakan penanganan dengan penurunan berat badan akan mengurangi risiko progresifitas dari komorbiditasnya, namun pada usia anak-anak sulit untuk diatur mengenai makanan yang dikonsumsi. Hal ini harus menjadi perhatian, khususnya orang tua agar bisa menurunkan angka obesitas pada anak untuk mengurangi risiko penyakit OSA dan lainnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) dengan OSA. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode studi analitik cross-sectional dengan jumlah sampel 158 responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang bermakna yaitu IMT obesitas dengan kejadian OSA dan hubungan yang tidak bermakna yaitu IMT underweight dengan kejadian OSA. Beberapa faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap kejadian OSA diantaranya yaitu usia, jenis kelamin, berat badan dan tinggi badan, lingkar leher dan IMT Dari beberapa faktor tersebut dapat disimpulkan pada usia anak-anak lebih rentan dengan prevalensi terbanyak pada laki-laki dan semakin tinggi IMT seseorang dan semakin lebar lingkar lehernya semakin tinggi risiko terhadap kejadian OSA
