Noise exposure (NE) has been recognized as one of the causes of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), which can bring about irreversible damage to sensory hair cells in the cochlea, through the launch of oxidative stress pathways and inflammation. Accordingly, determining the molecular mechanism involved in regulating hair cell apoptosis via NE is essential to prevent hair cell damage. However, the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the degeneration of sensory cells of the cochlea during NE has not been so far uncovered. Thus, the main purpose of this study was to demonstrate the regulatory role of miRNAs in the oxidative stress pathway and inflammation induced by NE. In this respect, articles related to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), oxidative stress, inflammation, and miRNA from various databases of Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Google Scholar, PubMed; Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts (LISTA), and Web of Science were searched and retrieved. The findings revealed that several studies had suggested that up-regulation of miR-1229-5p, miR-451a, 185-5p, 186 and down-regulation of miRNA-96/182/183 and miR-30b were involved in oxidative stress and inflammation which could be used as biomarkers for NIHL. There was also a close relationship between NIHL and miRNAs, but further research is required to prove a causal association between miRNA alterations and NE, and also to determine miRNAs as biomarkers indicating responses to NE.

Noise Annoyance: Decibels or Unfair Procedures? The contribution of social (in)justice theory to the explanation of noise annoyance Noise Annoyance: Decibels or Unfair Procedures? The contribution of social (in)justice theory to the explanation of noise annoyance E. Maris, P.J.M. Stallen, H. Steensma & R. Vermunt, Gedrag & Organisatie, volume 20, November 2007, nr. 4, pp. 445-460 Noise annoyance is determined by acoustical (e.g., loudness, pitch) and nonacoustical variables (e.g., sensitivity, attitudes towards the source). What is the role of social nonacoustical variables (e.g., the sound management)? Three laboratory experiments (N1 = 90, N2 = 117, N3 = 76 subjects) investigating the effects of fair (i.e., 'voice'), neutral, and 'unfair' (i.e., inconsistent procedure) sound management procedures on annoyance with fifteen minutes of 50 or 70 dB A(Leq.) aircraft sound, are evaluated. Results from each experiment show that systematic differences in procedural fairness yield systematic differences in annoyance. The combined results suggest that: 1) a psychological model of noise annoyance needs to consider the social aspects of noise exposure, 2) the operation of social nonacoustical determinants depends on the perceived harmfulness of the exposure situation, arising either from the situation's acoustics or from its social implications, and 3) aviation noise policies should pay due attention to the fairness of their procedures.

Comprehensive History

A Cultural History of Sport in the Age of Industry covers the period 1800 to 1920. Over this period, sport become increasingly global, some sports were radically altered, sports clubs proliferated, and new team games - such as baseball, basketball, and the various forms of football - were created, codified, commercialized, and professionalized. Yet this was also an age of cultural and political tensions, when issues around the role of women, social class, ethnicity and race, imperial relationships, nation-building, and amateur and professional approaches were all shaping sport. At the same time, increasing urbanization, population, real wages, and leisure time drove demand for sport ever higher, and the institutionalization and regulation of sport accelerated. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Sport presents the first comprehensive history from classical antiquity to today, covering all forms and aspects of sport and its ever-changing social, cultural, political, and economic context and impact. The themes covered in each volume are the purpose of sport; sporting time and sporting space; products, training, and technology; rules and order; conflict and accommodation; inclusion, exclusion, and segregation; minds, bodies, and identities; representation.

AbstrakMenyusui adalah naluri manusia yang berkaitan dengan kehamilan, namun demikian pemerintah Indonesia perlu melindungi ibu dan bayi dengan menerbitkan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 33 Tahun 2012. Kebijakan ini memandatkan seluruh pihak termasuk pemerintah daerah, lembaga layanan kesehatan, tenaga medis, dan produsen susu formula agar mendukung pemenuhan periode laktasi (menyusui). Dengan menggunakan pendekatan keamanan manusia, penelitian ini hendak menganalisis apa yang menjadi pertimbangan pemerintah Indonesia dalam menerbitkan PP yang berkaitan dengan aspek kesehatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif. Data dan informasi diperoleh dari observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan kajian literatur. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan PP No.33/2012 dikeluarkan sebagai bentuk komitmen pemerintah untuk mencapai target MDGs terkait jaminan kesehatan ibu dan anak. Adapun kendala dalam penerapan kebijakan ini berasal dari kasus ibu bekerja yang pada umumnya terbatas waktu menyusui, beban pikiran, dan kurangnya fasilitas pojok laktasi di tempat kerja. Tayangan iklan susu formula melalui berbagai ruang publik turut meyakinkan para ibu terhadap manfaat susu formula sehingga menggantikan peran ASI. Selain itu, kurangnya pengetahuan tentang menyusui dari ibu dan keluarga juga menjadi tantangan kesuksesan pemenuhan periode menyusui.Kata Kunci: menyusui, MDGs, kebijakan AbstractBreastfeed is a matter of human nature and maternity, but Indonesian government needs to legitimate and protect the right of mother and baby by establish Government Policy No. 33/2012. It mandated the role of local government, health service institututions, medical expertist, and instan milk producers to support the breastfeed period. This research questioned why the Indonesian Government establish the health policy in dealing with breastfeeding obligation that it sounds crucial problem regarding the human security perspective. This research used qualitative method. Data and information obtained from observation, literature review, and deep interview. This policy is the one of Indonesian committment to achieve MDGs target to ensure mother and baby’s health. The obstacles of breastfeed experienced by working mother related to the problem of leisure time, stressful, and facilities in work place. The massive instan milk advertisement through mass media and public sphere are able to influence the society mindsets about the safety and goodness of instan milk for their baby. The lack of access on breastfeed education and knowledge of the mother and family become the rest.Keywords: breastfeeds, MDGs, policy
