A Study of Translation on Grammatical Cohesion Marker in “ Bidding Document ” from English into

This study examines the translation of grammatical cohesion markers in Bidding Document from English into Indonesian 'Tender Documents'. The purposes of this study; (1) to formulate the type of grammatical cohesion; (2) to find out and explain the reasons that form a background marker of the grammatical cohesion; (3) to reveal and describe specifically the equivalence of meaning and the acceptability of grammatical cohesion markers. This study is a descriptive qualitative research of case study design and oriented on products. The aspects discussed the objective and genetic aspects. The data sources used (1) documents (2) informants (the rater and respondent). The technique of data collection employed scrutinizing and recording technique, questionnaires, and in-depth interviews. The data validations employed triangulation techniques and method, while the data analysis employed the ethnographic analysis of Spradley. The findings showed the type of grammatical cohesion markers in Tender Document, first; the reference cohesion marker, substitution, deletion and conjunctions. The type of conjunctions cohesion marker used dominantly. Secondly, there are 5 kinds of translation techniques; prevalent equivalence, amplification, modulation, transposition, and reduction. Third, the overall quality of cohesion marker in Bidding Document reached 2.84 for the level of accuracy and 2.79 for the level of acceptability.
Effect of probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri XC 1 coexpressing endoglucanase and phytase

This study investigated the effect of transformed Lactobacillys reuteri on intestinal pH and morphology, carcass characteristics, meat quality, and serum biochemical indexes of broiler chickens. A total of 480 broilers were assigned to six treatment groups and fed a phosphorus-adequate diet, a phosphorus-deficient diet, or a phosphorus-deficient diet containing different L. reuteri recombinants. The results showed that transformed L. reuteri decreased the pH in the duodenum and jejunum of chickens at day 21, decreased drip loss and cooking loss of muscles, and improved muscle tenderness of chickens at days 21 and 42, but did not affect carcass characteristics and only slightly decreased abdominal fat. Transformed L. reuteri also significantly increased calcium, phosphorus, and glucose levels, decreased the uric acid level of serum at day 21, and significantly increased the glucose level and decreased the triglycerides of serum on day 42. L. reuteri pLEM4159-cel/phy increased the villi height in the duodenum of chickens at days 21 and 42. The transformed L. reuteri decreased the crypt depth in the duodenum and jejunum of chickens at day 21 and also decreased the crypt depth in the ileum and increased the villi height in the duodenum at day 42. L. reuteri pLEM4158 (phy) and L. reuteri pLEM4159-cel/phy improved the villi height in the ileum at day 42. Taken together, transformed L. reuteri can improve blood calcium, phosphorus, and glucose metabolism and intestinal development in broilers, but does not affect carcass characteristics.

INSIGHTS INTO STUDENTS ’ THOUGHTS DURING PROBLEM BASED LEARNING SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS AND TRADITIONAL TUTORIALS

Students’ covert behaviours in PBL small-group discussions are as important as their overt behaviours. One way to study students’ covert behaviours is to understand students’ thoughts during these discussions. What exactly do students think during these discussions? Do they engage in reflective thinking or are they simply listening passively? Are students more reflective in PBL small-group discussions as compared to traditional tutorials? This paper aims to gain insights on students’ thoughts during PBL small-group discussions and traditional tutorials, and subsequently highlight any significant characteristics of these thoughts for each instructional setting. The students’ thoughts were obtained using a “thought-sampling” method.
VOTER EXPERIENCE AND TURNOUT IN GHANA

This study investigates the experiences of voters with election technologies such as the biometric system for voter registration and verification (BVRV), as well as whether such technologies affected both turnout and trust in Ghana’s 2012 and 2016 elections. The paper also explores whether the introduction of BVRVs increased or decreased levels of voter trust in the Electoral Commission (EC) and election outcomes. Using both primary and secondary data, the study found that the introduction of BVRV in election management in Ghana influenced the turnout for both the educated and the uneducated. While most of the former were eager to experience this novel approach, the same could not be said of the latter, less educated group. The study noted that state institutions do not take population diversity into consideration when introducing technological interventions. They take it for granted that citizens have the same capability, resulting in the marginalisation and neglect of a large section of the populace; this lack of trust in turn has a negative effect on voter turnout. The study recommends that such inequities in society should be taken into consideration when implementing interventions like BVRV in election management, specifically in Ghana but also in other African countries with similar socioeconomic and political conditions.
Anti-Toxocara Seropositivity in the Patients with Eye Diseases in Ophthalmology Clinics in Tehran, Iran

Background: Eye diseases, including, Uveitis, inflammation of the retina, and choroid are caused by different agents in humans and has a variety of anterior medial and posterior types. The agent of eye diseases is very different from simple bacterial to acute viral, fungal and parasitic infection. There is limited information regarding the type of eye diseases and Toxocara canis. Methods: Blood samples of 359 individuals (339 patients including endophthalmitis, uveitis, DCR, glaucoma, and cataract 20 individuals as control group) together with their information were collected from ophthalmology hospitals in Tehran, Iran from Feb 2013 to Jan 2015. The patient's serum was evaluated for the presence of anti-Toxocara antibodies by ELISA kits and blood smears for high eosinophilia. The positive samples were confirmed by Western blot analysis for T. canis infection. Results: Overall, 339 patients sera with eye diseases and control group were tested for anti-T. canis antibodies. Nineteen (5.6%) patients had anti-T. canis IgG that 14 (6.1%) were male and 5 (4.5%) were female, and all the patients had negative eosinophilia as well. The results of Western blot analysis for 19 positive patients indicated that 15 were infected by T. canis and 4 were infected by other parasitic infection. The results for control group were negative. Conclusion: All the patients with inflammatory eye diseases such as endophthalmitis, uveitis DCR, glaucoma and cataract were studied for Toxocara infection in this research work were at risk. Therefore, in contrast to the previous idea, all eye inflammatory diseases in ocular patients should be considered for Toxocara antibodies in addition to Uveitis.

Drug resistance of coliforms isolated from mint collected from market and home gardens

Mint samples collected different shops and home gardens were assessed for prevalence and enumeration of coliform bacteria. Samples collected from shops harvested copious count in contrast to home grown vegetable. Isolates were identified as E.coli, Shigella, Enterobacter, Klebsiella,and Salmonella. A blend of responses was observed toward vanomycin, rifampicin, and nalidixic acid with 100% resistance against ampicillin. However, these isolates exhibited gamma (γ) hemolysis, which may be allied with their nonpathogenic attributes.

Politics In Nigeria: To What Extent Has The Gender Agenda Gained Momentum?

Globally, mainstreaming gender issues in politics has been recognized as an essential way of building a stable democratic society. However, women, constituting over 50% of the world’s population, have been globally under-represented in politics and decision making and implementation. Women’s continued under-representation in Nigeria’s politics is of peculiar interest to the global communities, given the country’s significant position in Africa. However, the Fourth Republic has experienced increased rebirth of gender equality in Nigeria’s politics, as a result of political will and women’s advocacy movements. A good number of women have, of recent, become politically relevant in Nigeria. In spite of these, several socio-cultural and economic factors continue to inhibit women’s political potency and participation. Nigerian women, while celebrating their achievements in the March 8, 2013 International Women’s Day (IWD) under the theme “Gender Agenda: Gaining Momentum”, have reinvigorated their campaign for gender equality in politics as a viable measure for equitable and sustainable development in the country. This paper examines the extent to which gender agenda has gained momentum in Nigeria’s politics, and also discusses the socio-cultural and economic hurdles which perpetuate women’s under-representation and low political participation in the country.
Effect of Alginate-Calcium Coating Combined with Natural Antioxidants on Quality of Flying Fish (Cheilopogon intermedius) Fillets during Refrigerated Storage

Edible coating is a promising food packaging technology for reducing the degree of microbial spoilage and chemical changes in highly perishable foodstuffs like fish. The effect of alginatecalcium coating with added natural antioxidants such as vitamin C, α-tocopherol, and tea polyphenol to maintain the shelf-life of flying fish (Cheilopogon intermedius) fillets was evaluated over a 21-day storage at refrigerated temperature (4 ± 2 oC). Fillets were left untreated (control) or were treated with alginate-calcium coating (T1), alginate-calcium coating with 5% vitamin C (T2), alginate-calcium coating with 5% α-tocopherol (T3), or alginate-calcium coating with 0.1% tea polyphenol (T4). Samples were analyzed periodically for microbiological (total viable count); chemical [pH, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), histamine, thiobarbituric acid, and K value]; and sensory attributes such as odor, color, flavor, and texture. The results indicated that coating treatments preserved the quality of flying fish fillets compared to the uncoated samples. Alginate-calcium coating combined with vitamin C (T2) more efficiently inhibited the growth bacteria as revealed by fewer total viable counts and reduced chemical spoilage – as reflected in pH, TVB-N, and K value than the other treatments (p < 0.05). Results of this study suggest that edible coatings could be possible alternatives to synthetic materials in maintaining or improving the quality of refrigerated fish.

Not in my Occupation: An Examination of Occupational Identification and Unethical Pro-Organizational Behaviour

Workplace identification has been investigated as a predictor of unethical proorganizational behaviour (UPB), a form of unethical behaviour that primarily benefits the organization. While there have been fruitful findings for organizational identification, there is currently a lack of understanding for how other sources of identification influence this relationship. I sought to investigate whether occupational identification, defining oneself as a member of an occupation, would negatively moderate the relationship between organizational identification and UPB in an ethical decision-making study utilizing a sample of 193 accountants. Similarly, to past research, I hypothesized that moral disengagement would be a mediator in the model. Results indicated an unexpected negative non-significant relationship between organizational identification and UPB. Furthermore, occupation identification was negatively related to UPB, but not significant. I also unexpectedly found a significant negative mediating effect of moral disengagement. This research adds to the literature regarding whether identification relates to unethical behaviour.
Effects of glyphosate and foliar fertilizers on the glyphosate resistant (GR) soybean

Currently the soybean crop is responsible for a great share of the protein consumed by humans and animals, it is also a source of oil and renewable materials for the industry. Due to the importance of soybeans worldwide, especially genetically modified soybeans (resistant to glyphosate - GR), the improvement in yield indexes became the targets of promising research. The objective of this work was to evaluate the responses of the “GR” soybean crop as a function of glyphosate herbicide and foliar fertilizer, under soil without nutrient deficiency. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with four replications, consisted of two factors. Factor A was consisted by glyphosate (1080 and 2160 g a.e ha-1) and factor B by foliar fertilizers (Fertilizer A – Mg= 5%, Mn= 0,5%, Mo= 0.5%, L-Glutamic acid= 5% and glycine betaine 3%; Fertilizer B - Zn (5%), Mn (3%), Cu (0,5%), B (0.5%) and S (4%); Fertilizer C - Mo and L-Glutamic acid). The treatments were applied isolated and in mixtures, plus the control treatment, totalizing 21 treatments. The variables evaluated were phytotoxicity at 14 and 21 DAT, a thousand-grain weight and grain yield. The analysis of variance was performed and, when significant, the comparison of groups of treatments using orthogonal contrasts was applied to all variables. Soybean yield was also compared to the means of the treatments by the Scott-Knott test (p≤0.05). Phytotoxicity was detected in the soybean crop at 14 DAT with the application of glyphosate, foliar fertilizers and the association of the two products. However, only the highest dose of glyphosate, with or without foliar fertilizers, generally reduced crop grain yield. In addition, the application of foliar fertilizers isolated and associated with glyphosate, in soils with adequate levels of nutrients, does not increase thousand-grain weight or grain. It is concluded that the glyphosate dose for soybeans should be respected and foliar fertilizers should be carefully studied before recommendation.
Diagnostic efficiency of KISS 1 mRNA combined with CA-125 in detection of epithelial ovarian cancer

The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of KISS1 mRNA combined with CA-125 in detection of the epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The tissue and blood KISS1 mRNA expression levels and serum CA-125 level from EOC patients and control groups were measured by using RT-PCR method and chemiluminescence method. The four control groups were borderline ovarian tumor patients (control group 1), benign epithelial ovarian tumor patients (control group 2), leiomyoma of uteruspatients (control group 3) and healthy people (control group 4). The tissue or blood KISS1 mRNA and serum CA-125 concentrations were significantly higher in EOC patients than that in healthy people (P<0.001). However, there were no significant differences in tissue or blood KISS1 mRNA and serum CA-125 among control group 2, 3 and 4. The receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the area under the curves (AUC) were 0.817, 0.696 and 0.853, respectively for tissue KISS1 mRNA, blood KISS1 mRNA and serum CA 125, while there was an increase in the AUC (0.925) for serum CA-125 combined with blood KISS1. KISS1 mRNA can be used as an additional tumor biomarker for diagnosis of EOC. Multiple biomarkers assay of combined blood KISS1 and serum CA-125 is superior to single biomarker alone in detection of EOC. KISS1 may exert a synergistic or additional effect on CA-125.
Objective evaluation of the quality of the FAT ES-2 dummy model

The numerical simulation is an essential part of the development of the passive safety of vehicles. Robust and predictable computational models are the base of the successful application of those simulations. Crash test dummies and their virtual counterparts are measuring tools to evaluate the injury risks to occupants in car crashes. The progress of those dummy models was remarkable over the past years. By increasing the quality, the potential of further significant improvements declines. Hence, the assessment of improvements and their impact on the overall quality of simulations is getting more complex. Major improvements of sub-parts do not necessarily improve the overall performance of a model. Therefore, a standardised objective evaluation of models could ease the definition of priorities of model updates. Objective rating tools could help to solve this problem. These tools are calculating the level of correlation between two signals, usually coming from test and simulation. All signal ratings can be merged to global ratings. However, the analysis of only one loading case is not sufficient to calculate a reliable and a robust quality score of a dummy model. A more comprehensive approach is required to provide a valid rating for all relevant loading conditions. Furthermore, it must distinguish between good and poor models and should correlate with user experiences. This paper presents results of a study to assess the quality of the LS-DYNA FAT ES-2. The data set comprises results of dummy certification tests as well as results of various component and sled tests. The extraction of the most relevant dummy responses was an essential part of the evaluation too. Finally, all scenarios were applied to different releases of the FAT ES-2. The calculated quality scores were verified with the experiences of users of the model. The findings of this study are limited to the FAT ES-2 model but can be transferred to another dummy model. However, the selection of loading cases and signals must be adjusted to each dummy.
