THE REALIZATION OF COHESION IN READING TEXTS USED IN CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL IN THE CLASSROOM

This study aims at finding out the realization of grammatical and lexical cohesive devices in reading texts from the book entitled “Chicken Soup for the Soul in the Classroom”. The ten reading texts were selected as the corpus of the study. They were then analyzed using qualitative descriptive approach. The theory of cohesion proposed by Halliday and Hasan (1976) was used as framework for analyzing the texts. The result of the study shows that reference had the highest frequency of occurrences. Then it was followed by lexical, conjunction, ellipsis, and substitution. Personal reference and temporal conjunction most frequently occurred in the texts. Therefore, it can be concluded that the texts belong to recount texts. Based on the qualitative analysis, it was found out that the texts are considered to be cohesive because the level of cohesiveness are very high, i.e. more than 95%. From the result of the study, it can be concluded that the texts fulfill the requirements of becoming a good text and they can be used as alternative material for teaching recount texts for Indonesian students. © 2012 Universitas Negeri Semarang Info Artikel Sejarah Artikel: Diterima Agustus 2012 Disetujui September 2012 Dipublikasikan November 2012

Minimizing the young consumers' attitude-behaviour gap in green purchasing

Aim: Although consumers seem to attach great importance to sustainability and even demand companies to produce their products in an environmental friendly way, consumers’ green purchasing behaviour lags far behind: an attitude-behaviour gap exists. In addition, young consumers are the ones that could and should make the difference in green purchasing behaviour in the future. The present study investigates how the attitude-behaviour gap among young consumers can be minimized. Methods: Two studies were conducted. By conduction focus group discussions (N=27), in study A is a deeper understanding of young consumers’ attitude-behaviour relation and possible explaining factors thereof has been gained. In study B, a questionnaire (N=267) is used as a method to test 17 factors on their influence on the attitude-behaviour relation, measured by three types of green attitudes and three measures of green purchasing behaviour. Results: Results show that an attitude-behaviour gap only exists between the attitude towards sustainability and green purchasing behaviour, but not when it concerns the attitude towards green products and the attitude towards purchasing green products. The factors which positively influence the attitude-behaviour relation are: consumer awareness, receiving health benefits, willingness to pay price premium, subjective norm, perceived consumer effectiveness, perceived motivation of the organization, availability of products, willingness to spend the shopping time on purchasing green products and receiving local community benefits. The perceived price of green products negatively influences the attitude-behaviour relation. Conclusion: The present study contributes to the understanding of the attitude-behaviour relation in young consumers’ green purchasing behaviour and shows that this relation is complex. However, the attitude-behaviour relation can be strengthened by communication efforts. Practical implications and future research suggestions are discussed.

Duží's De dicto and De re: A Critical Review

Following P. Tichý M. Duži exposed her variant of the theory of de dicto / de re and presented it in many her articles since 2000 until now. Duži's theory is generally understood to be an advance on the original Tichý's theory of de dicto / de re and her other claims related to de dicto / de re are many times referred in her (or: her and Materna's) articles on other topics. However, the present text is a critical review of her theory.
Differential Effects of Organic and Inorganic Mercury on PhenotypicallyVariant Breast Cancer Cell Lines

Mercury remains a major environmental contaminant world-wide. Increasing evidence supports heavy metals as estrogenic agents (metalloestrogens), yet the impact of organic and inorganic mercury is unclear. The intent of this study was to increase understanding of mercury compounds as tumor causing agents and their modes of action. Changes in cellular viability, proliferation, and apoptosis after exposure to inorganic (HgCl2) and organic (CH3Hg+) mercury, were examined using a control human breast epithelial cell line (MCF-12A) compared to the human breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 (ER+) and MDA-MB-453 (ER-). Exposure to mercuric compounds increased cellular proliferation (2-fold), altered caspase activity and p53 expression in a compound dependent manner in MCF-12A cells. Between the two tumor lines, MDA-MB-453 cells appeared most like MCF-12A cells with regard to the mercury response. MCF-7 (ER+) cells on the other hand, were relatively resistant to the effect of both HgCl2 and CH3Hg+ as indicated by the relative lack of change in any of the parameters measured. The proliferation and viability of MCF-7 cells was not significantly affected and although 5 ppm CH3Hg+ significantly increased caspase activity, there was a net inhibition of p53 expression at the same concentration. Collectively, MCF-12A (normal epithelial) cells were most sensitive to both HgCl2 and CH3Hg+. Cellular adaption and activation of the p53/apoptosis pathway would minimize tumorigenesis which was dependent on the chemical form of mercury. These protective effects were not observed in the tumor cell lines with the MCF-7 (ER+) cells being the most resistant to the mercury effects. A significant difference between MCF-7 and MDA-MB-453 cells is expression of the estrogen receptor, suggesting potential involvement of this receptor in the effects of mercuric compounds. Further work is necessary to examine the potential role of the estrogen receptor in modulating the effects of mercuric compounds on tumor development.
The Effects of Unconventional Monetary Policy on the Euribor-Eonia Spread and the Real Economy

During the latest financial crisis, unconventional monetary policy measures have been used by many central banks to ease the stress in the market. While the main body of the current academic literature has focused on studying the effects of unconventional monetary policy measures during the first years of the financial crisis, the studies on the measures implemented by the ECB after the beginning of the crisis are scarce. This thesis analyses the effects of the ECB’s unconventional monetary policy measures on the Euribor-Eonia spread and the real economy of Finland for the period of January 2006 – January 2017. Using an EGARCH time series model, this study examines whether or not the ECB has successfully implemented Longer-Term Refinancing Operations and Covered Bond Purchase Programmes. This study finds that on average Longer-Term Refinancing Operation announcements, allotments and settlements do not decrease the Euribor-Eonia spread. Similarly, it finds that the announcements and purchases of Covered Bond Purchase Programmes do not decrease the spread, whereas the termination of the programmes decreases the spread. Moreover, this study finds that on average Longer-Term Refinancing Operations and Covered Bond Purchase Programmes do not reduce the lendingdeposit interest rate spread for non-financial institutions and households. These results raise concerns about the efficacy of unconventional monetary policy in the interbank market and its transmission to the real economy.
Immunological and Therapeutic Evaluation of Wheat (Triticum aestivum) Derived Betaglucans against Coccidiosis in Chicken

This study was carried out to determine the immunomodulatory and therapeutic effects of wheat derived beta-glucans (purified) against avian coccidiosis. Briefly, beta-glucans from wheat bran were extracted and purified using standard procedures. A total of 250 broiler chicks (day-old) were reared at experimental station, Department of Parasitology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad for this study. At 7 th day of their age, birds were subdivided into five equal groups (n=50). Groups A, B and C were orally administered with graded doses of purified beta-glucans (50, 100 and 150 mg/kg of body weight) for three consecutive days; whereas, positive control (group D) was administered with vitamin-E at the dose rate of 87mg/kg; while negative control (group E) was served with phosphate buffered saline (PBS solution). At 14 th day post administration of graded doses, 30 chickens from each group were randomly selected and used to monitor cellular and humoral immune responses, while remaining birds (n=20) in each group were challenged with mixed species of genus Eimeria for therapeutic evaluation. Overall, chickens in group A administered with 50 mg/kg b.wt. purified beta-glucans showed significantly higher immune responses in terms of enhanced humoral and cell mediated immunity as compared to those of other beta-glucans administered and E groups. While, the immune responses showed by group A were comparable with group D. After challenge with Eimeria, the groups A and D also showed maximum weight gains with low oocyst counts and maximum percent protection against lesions in both caecum and intestine. On the other hand, a minimum daily weight gain with increased number of oocysts in chickens was observed in control group (PBS) during therapeutic evaluation. These findings suggest that the beta-glucans derived from wheat may have immunomodulatory and therapeutic effects against Eimeria infection in chickens. © 2016 Friends Science Publishers

The paper we deals with the presentation of the Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata, 1963) species in Romania. Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata) is a leaf-minig species that attacks different species belonging to the Tilia genus. The Phyllonorycter issikii species was first identified in Romania in 2002 in the Gheorghitoaia and Frumusica forests in Iasi County area. There was also signalled an attack of the species in the Bacău County area, in 2005 in the Hârboanca Forest Reserve. In the present paper we present the biological chracteristics of the species as well as their larvae attack method.
Intake Pericarp of Garcinia mangostana L. Extract Inhibited Oxidative Stress on Wistar Rat Hyperglycemic through the Increased of Superoxide Dismutase and

Stress oxidative can cause the development of pathological condition such as diabetes mellitus. Garcinia mangostana L. , locally known as “Manggis” is a tropical fruit rich in polyphenolic compounds that possesses high antioxidant activity. This research aimed to study the effect of intake pericarp G. mangostana ethanol extract in inhibiting stress oxidative in hyperglycemic Wistar rats by analyzing superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and histopathology of pancreatic cell. Extraction of 800 g pericarp Garcinia mangostana with ethanol gave 147 g crude ethanol extract. Hyperglycemic on Wistar rats was made by inducing hyperglycemic with alloxan. The experimental was performed on five groups of animals that were Hyperglycemic. The dose of pericarp of Garcinia extract given to of rats which assigned P0 for normal control, P1 for negative control (hyperglycaemic), P2 for hyperglycemic rats with Garcinia extract 50 mg · kg-1 body weight; P3 for hyperglycemia rats treated with 100 mg · kg–1 body weight and P4 treated with 150 mg · kg–1 body weight. The result showed that intake of pericarp Garcinia extract in all dose given have increased the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). The highest SOD activity was obtained in P4 with given of 150 mg · kg–1 body weight and SOD activity increased to 65.71 %. The increased of SOD activity was directly proportional to the histopathology profile of pancreatic found in the hyperglycemic rat.
On minimax filtering over ellipsoids

The problem of estimating the mean of an observed Gaussian innite-dimensional vector with independent components is studied, when vector is known to lie in a l 2 -ellipsoid and the variances of the components need not be equal. Under some general assumptions on the ellipsoid we provide the second-order behaviour of the minimax risk.
Importance of Exposure History When Using Single Well Push‐Pull Tests to Quantify In Situ Ethanol Biodegradation Rates

Single well push‐pull tests (PPTs) were used to characterize in situ biodegradation rates of ethanol in groundwater at a leaking underground fuel tank (LUFT) site at Site 60, Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB), CA. For the tests, local groundwater was spiked with bromide and ethanol and injected at different times into three different wells throughout the experimental area. The spiked water was allowed to remain in the aquifer for 1 to 15.9 h prior to extraction. Biodegradation of ethanol was not observed within 15 h of the aquifer’s first exposure to ethanol near any test well; the ethanol/Br ratio was nearly constant in the extraction samples. Biostimulation treatments (ethanol injections) over the course of 1 to 2 weeks resulted in a linear decrease in ln(ethanol/Br) with time in the extraction samples indicating that ethanol was biodegrading with a first order rate constant of about 0.3/h. After exposing an area to ethanol for 3 months, the biodegradation rate increased further by about a factor of 2. Ethanol degradation rates in the aquifer at this site were temporally variable based on the ethanol exposure history. Our results suggest that PPTs were an effective tool for examining such variability. PPT investigations should be valuable at other locations because ethanol degradation rates in groundwater should vary spatially and temporally depending on the type and timing of fuel releases as well as other factors that control the history of ethanol exposure to an aquifer.
Study of Risk Factors for the High Prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes in the People of Jammu

Abstract The study was carried out to identify the contribution of risk factors to the susceptibility to T2DM among the people of Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir state in North India. For this, a total of 250 diabetic patients (140 male, 110 female) and 150 non-diabetic controls (90 male, 60 female) were recruited from Jammu. A general health questionnaire was used to collect information about age, sex, onset of diabetes, smoking, alcohol intake, diet pattern, physical activity, household information and family history of diabetes. Anthropometric measurements of height, weight, waist and hip circumference were also taken on all subjects. In our study mean age of diagnosis of T2DM was 53.28±9.98 years. The average duration of diabetes was longer in males than in females (10.16±11.37yr) vs. (7.17± 5.05yr). The mean BMI value did not vary among diabetic and non-diabetic subjects (25.91±3.82 vs. 24.91± 3.65; P = .011) but male diabetics have higher BMI as compared to females. Diabetic complications are higher in T2DM subjects than in Control population (28 percent CHD, 32 percent Hypertension, 40 percent Ocular Problem). It is concluded that the Jammu population in North India is at a higher risk of developing diabetes and its related complications.
A Potential Isolate of Trichoderma viride NRCB1 and its Mass Production for the Effective Management of Fusarium Wilt Disease in Banana

Thirty-one isolates of Trichoderma viride, out of 110 isolates of Trichoderma spp. isolated from the rhizosphere of banana were effective in the initial screening tests conducted in vitro against banana wilt pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (Foc). These 31 isolates of Trichoderma viride and 6 isolates of other species of Trichoderma viz., T. viride-6, T. harzianum, T. koningii, T. pseudokoningii and T. hamatum, were subjected to intensive in vitro screening by dual culture and spore germination assay. Among these, T. viride isolate NRCB1 resulted in the maximum reduction in mycelial growth and spore germination. Different organic substrates were tested with two jaggery concentrations (1 and 5%) to mass-produce this isolate. The results showed that the fastest coverage of the entire substrate (5 days) as well as high population density (6 × 10 31 CFU/g of material) occurred in rice chaffy grains added with 5% jaggery solution, compared to other substrates. Studies on shelf life indicated that population density of T. viride NRCB1 was significantly higher in rice chaffy grains formulation at both storage temperature (37 and 25°C), even after 5 months compared to other substrates and talc powder formulation. The pot culture and field studies indicated that the soil application of T. viride NRCB1 as chaffy grain formulation significantly reduced the Fusarium wilt disease of banana (up to 80%) and increased the plant growth parameters as compared to the talc powder formulation. The analyses of induction of PO and PAL and total phenolic content both in T. viride applied and Foc challenge inoculated plants revealed that these were significantly higher compared to control plants and plants inoculated with the pathogen (Foc) plants alone.
Temporal dynamics of the urban heat island of Singapore

The temporal variability of the canopy‐level urban heat island (UHI) of Singapore is examined for different temporal scales on the basis of observations during a 1‐year period. Temperature data obtained from different urban areas (commercial, Central Business District (CBD), high‐rise and low‐rise housing) are compared with ‘rural’ reference data and analysed with respect to meteorological variables and differences in land use. The results indicate that the peak UHI magnitude occurs 3–4 h (>6 h) after sunset in the commercial area, (at other urban sites). Higher UHI intensities generally occur during the southwest monsoon period of May–August, with a maximum of ∼7 °C observed in the commercial area under ideal meteorological conditions. Variations in seasonal precipitation explain some of the differences in urban–rural cooling. No clear relationship between urban geometry and UHI intensity can be seen, and intra‐urban variations of temperature are also shown to be influenced by other site factors, e.g. the extent of green space and anthropogenic heat. Lastly, results from the present study are compared with UHI data from other tropical and mid‐latitude cities. Copyright © 2006 Royal Meteorological Society.
Physicochemical and baking expansion properties of peroxide oxidized sago starch with different UV irradiation

Sago starch was modified by oxidation using hydrogen peroxide 3% based dry matter of starch irradiated with UV C and the drained starch was irradiated with different UV lamps (UV A, UV B, and UV C) for 8 h. The physicochemical and baking expansion properties of peroxide-oxidized starch were studied. Peroxide-oxidized starch irradiated with UV A gave the highest swelling power of 9.63±0.14%, while UV B and UV C irradiated peroxide-oxidized starch gave 8.58±0.21%, and 7.08±0.59% respectively. Treatment with different UV irradiation did not affect the solubility of sago starch. Irradiation with different UV lamps had an affect on carboxyl and carbonyl contents of peroxide-oxidized starch. Oxidation treatment did not achieve the desired baking expansion. Specific volume of peroxide-oxidized sago starch treatment with different UV irradiation gave no significant difference of specific volume. Peroxide-oxidized starch with no UV irradiation gave the lowest specific volume of 2.59 ± 0.34 cm 3 /g.
Exploring online interaction and online learner participation in an online science subject through the lens of the interaction equivalence theorem

While researchers agree that student participation is key to learning, it seems that the issue of interaction in online learning is not yet resolved. The current study investigated students’ online interaction and online learner participation in an online enabling science subject and compared this with their final grades. The data were analysed through the lens of Anderson’s (2003) interaction equivalence theorem. The findings from the current study provide support for the interaction equivalence theorem. Student-teacher interaction and student-content interaction were evident, but not student-student interaction. Significant relationships were found between student success and online learner participation, but not online interaction. Generalisations are limited by a small sample size and online interaction and participation was measured in terms of quantity rather than quality. Still, following the interaction equivalence theorem, it appears that students can have a satisfying and meaningful learning experience despite not having student-student interaction.
Merced Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society Title Automatic and Controlled Components of Judgment under Uncertainty Permalink

The categorization of inductive reasoning into largely automatic processes (heuristic reasoning) and controlled analytical processes (rule-based reasoning) put forward by dual-process approaches of judgment under uncertainty (e.g., Stanovich & West, 2000) has been primarily a matter of assumption with a scarcity of direct empirical findings supporting it. We used the process dissociation procedure (Jacoby, 1991) to provide convergent evidence validating a dual-process perspective to judgment under uncertainty based on the independent contributions of heuristic and rule-based reasoning. Process dissociations based on experimental manipulation of variables were derived from relevant theoretical properties typically used to contrast the two forms of reasoning. These included processing goals (Experiment 1) and priming (Experiment 2). Results consistently supported the present perspective. We conclude that judgment under uncertainty is not either an automatic or controlled process, but that it reflects both processes, with each making independent contributions.
