ABSTRACT
Objective: Although several NPHS2 gene mutations and polymorphisms were described and associated with clinical manifestation of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS), the occurrence of these genetic abnormalities or variants appeared to be influenced by race and ethnic group. We have investigated probable mutations and variants in NPHS2 gene involved in SRNS and their association with clinical manifestations. Methods: We examined 28 children with primary SRNS whovisited the pediatric nephrology division of 10 teaching hospitals in Indonesia. Molecular genetic studies of the NPHS2 gene were conducted through screenings for the exon 1, exon 2, and exon 8. The mutational analysis of NPHS2 was performed by DNA sequencing. Fisher’s Exact Test was used to determine the correlation between NPHS2 polymorphisms and clinical manifestations.Results: Seven females (25%) and 21 males (75%) participated in the study. The mean age of the subjects with 95% CI is: 7.6 (6.1 - 9.0) years while the mean age at onset of disease with 95% CI is: 5.4 (3.9 - 7.0) years. Sixteen patients (57.14%) were younger than 6 years at the onset of disease. Seventeen (60.7%) subjects had normal eGFR, while 11 (39.3%) had chronic renal insufficiency. The mean eGFR of the subjects with 95% CI is: 111.4 (87.7 - 135.1) ml/min/1.73 m2. The mean systolic blood pressure with 95% CI is: 117.0 (108.9 - 125.1) mmHg and the mean diastolic blood pressure with 95% CI is: 77.0 (70.3 - 83.7) mmHg. We identified 6 NPHS2polymorphisms, i.e. g.-52G>T, c.101A>G, g.-117C>T, c.288C>T, c.954C>T, and c.1038A>G and no mutation was found. There was no correlation between NPHS2 polymorphisms and clinical manifestations (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The results demonstrate no mutation of NPHS2 gene, and the 6 NPHS2 gene polymorphisms that were identified have no correlation with the clinical manifestation in Indonesian children with SRNS.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...
