The Representation of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (BTP) as a Social Actor in the Collection of Hoax News Headlines on www.turnbackhoax.id

This study aims to describe the representation of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (BTP) as a social actor and to reveal the ideological stance of the media in collection of hoax news headlines. The approach used in this study is Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of critical discourse analysis (1995, 2013) with a textual metafunction theory as its analytical tool proposed by Halliday and Mattiessen (2014). The data of this study are 17 hoax news headlines that have been verified by their lies on the website www.turnbackhoax. id. The results of this study are (i) the theme and rheme used in the hoax news headlines can help organize messages and play an important role in the headlines from the perspective of the reader, (ii) BTP was explicitly represented as a social actor in some negative ways in those hoax news headlines such as he is supported by those who are not Pro-Islam, fails to eradicate prostitution, powerful person, not brave and involved in law case, (iii) the media’s ideological stance intentionally contradicted to other national media in publishing the hoax news headlines related to BTP and tended to highlight the news without the clear sources and exaggerate the headlines. Furthermore, the result of this study would be a helpful material source for those who would like to prepare the critical literacy materials, specifically, about how to identify the features of hoax news headlines

An overview of the provincial evaluation system of the Western Cape Government of South Africa as a response to the evaluation of the National Evaluation System

Background: The Western Cape Government (WCG) has recently implemented its seventh (7th) Provincial Evaluation Plan that is aligned to the National Evaluation Policy Framework adopted by South Africa in November 2011. The National Evaluation System (NES) and its evolution at the provincial level has been aligned to its Province-wide Monitoring and Evaluation System (PWMES). The Department of the Premier in the WCG centrally drives this system. The institutionalisation of a Provincial Evaluation System (PES) serves as a model for any sub-national government to practice government evaluations at provincial, regional or local levels. To date, thirty-three (33) evaluations have been completed and a further eleven (11) are at various stages of implementation. Objectives: Since the initial rollout of the PES in the WCG, the system has developed, strengthened and matured. This comes from a need for better access to, and understanding of, evaluations. Method: The paper has drawn on the recent evaluation of the NES which selected the Western Cape as a case study; and uses the findings to put improvements in place in the areas of policy, methodology, organisation, capacity, participation with other actors, and use. Results: The main value in sharing this work, is the building of an enabling environment to roll out evaluations on a regional level, that are in line with the national evaluation approach, whilst at the same time facilitating integration with provincial strategic priorities. Conclusion: This paper reflects on the way in which the WCG of South Africa has undertaken the implementation and maturation of the NES at a sub-national level.
Informed opportunism for conservation planning in the Solomon Islands

Human factors more than ecology dictate conservation opportunity and the subsequent success of implementation. This is particularly true in places such as the Solomon Islands where most terrestrial and coastal marine areas remain in community ownership. However, factors such as community support are not reliably predictable, nor easy to map, and therefore challenging to incorporate into systematic conservation plans. Here, we describe how the Lauru Land Conference of Tribal Communities and The Nature Conservancy have worked with the communities of Choiseul Province, Solomon Islands, to develop a conservation planning process that reconciles community‐driven conservation opportunities, with a systematic and representation‐based approach to prioritization. We suggest how sophisticated prioritization software can be used collaboratively in a community setting, to dynamically assess and guide conservation opportunities as they arise; a process of informed opportunism.
The Conditions That Promote or Discourage Physical Punishment as Described by Taiwanese and Taiwanese American Mothers

Physical punishment and the conditions that promote and discourage its use were explored in a sample of Taiwan-born mothers living in Taiwan (n = 19) and the United States (n = 15), and U.S.-born Taiwanese American mothers (n = 15). Grounded theory was used to extract themes from focus group transcriptions. Mothers from all groups indicated that they preferred a variety of nonphysical methods to correct their children’s misbehaviors. U.S.-born mothers were less likely to report use of violent/forceful physical punishment than the other two groups. Some conditions were associated with mothers’ use of physical punishment, such as holding traditional gender beliefs, believing in filial piety and familism, having experienced physical punishment, receiving support from others for physical punishment, experiencing physical punishment as being effective for one’s child, and having a male child. However, other conditions were associated with the rejection of physical punishment, including believing in saving face or the stereotype that physical punishment is illegal in the United States, having personally experienced physical punishment as negative, having experienced nonphysical discipline/punishment, experiencing physical punishment of one’s child as ineffective, and experiencing regret from physical punishment use. Conditions related to physical punishment use and rejection ranged from distal to proximal, and these independently and interactively influenced choices to use physical punishment or not. Findings emphasize the complexity of caregivers’ decisions to use or reject physical punishment, underscoring both maternal experiences and cultural contributions, and highlighting areas that researchers and interventionists may further explore to reduce the use of physical punishment.
Complete mitochondrial genome of Henricia pachyderma (Asteroidea, Spinulosida, Echinasteridae) and phylogenetic analysis

Abstract Next-generation sequencing was used to obtain the complete mitogenome of Henricia pachyderma (Hayashi, 1940). The mitogenome form was found to be a circular molecule 16,192 bp long with a 57.1% AT bias. Gene arrangement and composition of H. pachyderma were exactly the same as those of previously reported mitogenomes from other species of the family Echinasteridae, including H. leviuscula and Echinaster (Othilia) brasiliensis. Phylogenetic analysis with maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference revealed that H. pachyderma formed a monophyletic clade with H. leviuscula and E. (O.) brasiliensis belonging the same taxon, family Echinasteridae.
Design of A Convergence-Aware Based Expectation Propagation Algorithm for Uplink Mimo Scma Systems

Sparse code multiple access (SCMA) uses multidimensional sparse codewords to transmit user data. The expectation propagation algorithm (EPA) exploiting the sparse property shows linear complexity growth and thus is preferred for multi-user detection. To further reduce the complexity, a convergence-aware based EPA for uplink MIMO SCMA systems is proposed. Techniques including user termination, antenna termination, and codebook reduction are adopted. The user termination must be combined with the iteration constraint to avoid misjudgement. The antenna termination can stop the computations related with certain antennas having strong channel gains. Only possible codewords are considered in the reduced codebook to eliminate unnecessary calculation for posterior probability. From simulation results, we show that these three techniques can strike a balance between performance and complexity and more than 50% complexity can be saved.
Construction of Full-length cDNA Library from Sugarcane Leaves and the Corresponding EST Analysis

In order to analyze gene expression pattern in the sugarcane(Saccharum Complex) leaves and set the basis for the cloning of some important functional genes, the functional leaves were taken as plant material from 3 development stage of sugarcane, and a full-length cDNA library was constructed by the method of Oligo-capping.After identification, the storage capacity of the library was 3.0×106 cfu, the recombinant rate was 89%, the full-length rate was 85%, and the average size of inserted fragment was about 1.0 kb.In total, two hundred and twenty-eight efficient ESTs(expressed sequence tags) of 5' end were obtained from this cDNA library.Bioinformatics analysis showed that these ESTs were assembled into 154 TUTs(tentative unique transcript). The homologous analysis of the 154 TUTs on NCBI showed that these 87 TUTs(including 117 ESTs) were determined to be the tags of gene with putative function, these genes were found to be involved in the biological process including cell development, signal transport, protein synthesis, transcription, stress tolerance response, energy metabolism and so on.
Bioremediation of petroleum pollutants: Diversity and environmental aspects of hydrocarbon biodegradation

The manufacture, transportation, and distribution of petroleum and chemical products during the last century has resulted in hydrocarbon-contamination becoming a major environmental problem. Most of the environmental inputs of petroleum are accommodated largely due to the capacities of microorganisms to biodegrade hydrocarbons. Bioremediation has gained significant political support among competing technologies for in situ cleanup of pollutants. In addition to its potential for local cleanup of contaminated water and soil, bioremediation may have a future role in solving problems on a global scale, including removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. This article examines in detail the following topics: bacterial and fungal metabolism of hydrocarbons; bioremediation of marine oil spills; site remediation; performance and regulatory oversight. In summary diverse microorganisms using diverse metabolic pathways have the capacities for degrading a wide spectrum of hydrocarbon structures in petroleum. Some pathways lead to detoxification and destruction of the pollutants whereas others activate potentially harmful compounds. In most cases of detoxification, environmental modification is used to stimulate the biodegradative activities of indigenous organisms. Biodegradation is emerging as an important cost-effective treatment for marine oil spills and contaminated sites. 13 refs., 2 figs.
An Adaptive Approach for Multi-National Vehicle License Plate Recognition Using Multi-Level Deep Features and Foreground Polarity Detection Model

License plate recognition system (LPR) plays a vital role in intelligent transport systems to build up smart environments. Numerous country specific methods have been proposed successfully for an LPR system, but there is a need to find a generalized solution that is independent of license plate layout. The proposed architecture is comprised of two important LPR stages: (i) License plate character segmentation (LPCS) and (ii) License plate character recognition (LPCR). A foreground polarity detection model is proposed by using a Red-Green-Blue (RGB) channel-based color map in order to segment and recognize the LP characters effectively at both LPCS and LPCR stages respectively. Further, a multi-channel CNN framework with layer aggregation module is proposed to extract deep features, and support vector machine is used to produce target labels. Multi-channel processing with merged features from different-level convolutional layers makes output feature map more expressive. Experimental results show that the proposed method is capable of achieving high recognition rate for multinational vehicles license plates under various illumination conditions.
Synthesis, Structure and Reactivities of Pentacoordinated Phosphorus-Boron Bonded Compounds

The isolation and reactivities of two pentacoordinatedphosphorus–tetracoordinated boron bonded compounds were explored. A strong Lewis acidic boron reagent and electronwithdrawing ligand system were required to form the pentacoordinated phosphorus state of the P–B bond. The first compound, a phosphoranyl-trihydroborate, gave a THF stabilised phosphoranyl-borane intermediate upon a single hydride abstraction in THF. This compound could undergo a unique rearrangement reaction, which involved a two-fold ring expansion, to give a fused bicyclic compound or it could act as a mono-hydroboration reagent. The hydroboration reactivity of the intermediate was found to be more reactive towards alkynes over alkenes with good to moderate regioselectivity towards the terminal carbon. The second compound, a phosphoranyl-triarylborate, was found to have different reactivity as it was highly stable towards acids and bases. This is thought to be due to the large bulk around the P–B bond as shown in the crystal structure.
Attributes-based person re-identification via CNNs with coupled clusters loss

: Person re-identi ﬁ cation (re-id) involves matching a person across nonoverlapping views, with different poses, illuminations and conditions. Visual attributes are understandable semantic information to help improve the issues including illumination changes, viewpoint variations and occlusions. This paper proposes an end-to-end framework of deep learning for attribute-based person re-id. In the feature representation stage of framework, the improved convolutional neural network (CNN) model is designed to leverage the information contained in automatically detected attributes and learned low-dimensional CNN features. Moreover, an attribute classi ﬁ er is trained on separate data and includes its responses into the training process of our person re-id model. The coupled clusters loss function is used in the training stage of the framework, which enhances the discriminability of both types of features. The combined features are mapped into the Euclidean space. The L2 distance can be used to calculate the distance between any two pedestrians to determine whether they are the same. Extensive experiments validate the superiority and advantages of our proposed framework over state-of-the-art competitors on contemporary challenging person re-id datasets.
1 DEFINING DISEASE RISK GROUPS THROUGH THE QUANTIFICATION OF GENETIC HETEROGENEITY ACROSS SINGLE LEUKAEMIA CELLS

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is typified by the BCR-ABL fusion gene. Primitive CML cells are less responsive to treatment and have high BCR-ABL mRNA and protein expression. BCR-ABL may also be required for cell adhesion, which may possess increased resistance. Previous studies have analysed bulk cell populations but the significance of BCR-ABL expression heterogeneity at the single cell level is unknown. In this study, the K562 CML cell line was used. Surface-adherent (K562/Adh) and non-adherent (K562/NonAdh) cell populations from standard suspensions were generated through 4 months of passages. Isolated K562/Adh and K562/NonAdh were used for the detection and quantification of BCR-ABL DNA, mRNA and protein levels across single and bulk cell populations, using fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH), RT-qPCR, flow cytometry and proximal ligation assay (PLA). Cell viability was measured for both Adh and NonAdh cells grown in the presence of a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (Imatinib) using the Cell Proliferation Kit (XTT). The passage of K562 cells demonstrated a small fraction (5% + 2.1%) of K562/Adh cells adhering to the plastic surface of the culture flask. Genomic BCR-ABL gene amplification was present in K562 cells, but displayed no significant difference between K562/Adh and K562/NonAdh cell types (P=0.8227). RT-qPCR showed up-regulation of BCR-ABL mRNA in K562/Adh cells, compared to K562/NonAdh in single and bulk cells (p<0.0001). In addition, a microfluidic platform was developed for measuring the BCR-ABL fusion gene. The proximal ligation Assay (PLA) and flow cytometry showed higher expression of phospho-BCR-ABL protein in K562/Adh cells than K562/NonAdh (63.42% and 23.1%). Imatinib significantly inhibited the growth of K562/NonAdh; whereas the treatment of K562/Adh had less effect (p<0.005), suggesting resistance of K562/Adh to Imatinib. These results provide some evidence, at both single and bulk cell levels, for the existence of an adherent subpopulation of K562 cells with higher BCR-ABL mRNA and phosphorylated protein which are resistant to Imatinib, suggesting the possibility of a similar subpopulation of cells in CML which may cause clinical resistance.
High level of hybridisation in three species of Indian major carps

Thirty individuals of each species of Indian major carps, i.e., Catla catla, Cirrhinus cirrhosus (C. mrigala) and Labeo rohita, obtained from a nursery near Mymensingh, Bangladesh were analysed by means of allozyme electrophoresis. Twenty-one loci were studied. Several loci revealed significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg expectations caused by deficiency of heterozygotes, indicating Wahlund effects due to problems with species identification. Moreover, bimodal distributions of individual heterozygosity within the three putative species indicated hybridisation. This was confirmed using analysis of individual admixture proportions, as individuals misidentified to species and hybrids between species were observed. Furthermore, factorial correspondence analysis to visualize genetic relationships among individuals revealed three distinct groups containing misclassified individuals, along with some intermediate individuals interpreted as hybrids. Ten per cent of all C. catla and L. rohita had been erroneously identified to species, and 40 per cent of all presumptive C. catla were hybrids between C. catla x C. cirrhosus and C. catla x L. rohita. In the case of C. cirrhosus, 37 per cent of the samples were C. cirrhosus x L. rohita hybrids. Thirty per cent of all presumptive L. rohita turned out to be hybrids between L. rohita x C. catla and L. rohita x C. cirrhosus. The high incidence of hybrids in C. catla might be responsible for slower growth of the fish in aquaculture.
Provenance of "after the fact" harmonised community-based demographic and HIV surveillance data from ALPHA cohorts

Background: Data about data, metadata, for describing Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) data have often received insufficient attention. This thesis studied how to develop provenance metadata within the context of HDSS data harmonisation - the network for Analysing Longitudinal Population-based HIV/ AIDS data on Africa (ALPHA). Technologies from the data documentation community were customised, among them: A process model - Generic Longitudinal Business Process Model (GLBPM), two metadata standards - Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) and Standard for Data and Metadata eXchange (SDMX) and a data transformations description language - Structured Data Transform Language (SDTL). Methods: A framework with three complementary facets was used: Creating a recipe for annotating primary HDSS data using the GLBPM and DDI; Approaches for documenting data transformations. At a business level, prospective and retrospective documentation using GLBPM and DDI and retrospectively recovering the more granular details using SDMX and SDTL; Requirements analysis for a user-friendly provenance metadata browser. Results: A recipe for the annotation of HDSS data was created outlining considerations to guide HDSS on metadata entry, staff training and software costs. Regarding data transformations, at a business level, a specialised process model for the HDSS domain was created. It has algorithm steps for each data transformation sub-process and data inputs and outputs. At a lower level, the SDMX and SDTL captured about 80% (17/21) of the variable level transformations. The requirements elicitation study yielded requirements for a provenance metadata browser to guide developers. Conclusions: This is a first attempt ever at creating detailed metadata for this resource or any other similar resources in this field. HDSS can implement these recipes to document their data. This will increase transparency and facilitate reuse thus potentially bringing down costs of data management. It will arguably promote the longevity and wide and accurate use of these data.
Modeling of the Factors of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) Influencing the Strategic Linking Decisions with the Industrial Sector: Whole-Institution Approach

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are dedicated to the professionalization of human capital; to accomplish this, the link with the productive sector is an active component that must be strengthened through formal mechanisms. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the relationships and effects from the Institutional Framework (IF), as well as from the independent variables in the context of linking HEI with the industrial sector. Survey data were collected from 47 HEIs in the Northwest of Mexico; a mixed research approach was applied and analyzed through the partial least-squares structural equations modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. Although the IF is identified as a relevant aspect for the model, this is not a problem for Mexican HEIs, since the analysis reflects a solid legal framework regarding the common basic levels and research. The main impact for experts who carry out research activities is that the route to creating, maintaining, and promoting integrated academic, technical, and administrative personnel as a specialized work team is not achieved. The main factor that does not contribute for researchers who carry out research activities is that the route to integrating (creating–maintaining–promoting) academic, technical, and administrative personnel as a specialized work team is not achieved. One finding is that the informants agree with the existing stimuli that are not aimed at research linked to the industrial sector and problem-solving through applied research. There is a need for retaining the groups of researchers to help make the benefits for the industry clear by offering advanced linkage levels.
