Potensi Ikan Gabus (Ophiocephalus Striatus) Dalam Mempercepat Penyembuhan Luka
Authors: Tungadi Robert
Published: July 2020

Ikan gabus (Ophiocephalus striatus) merupakan jenis ikan yang hidup di air tawar dan sudah banyak dikenal oleh masyarakat. Khasiat dan kegunaan ikan gabus telah terbukti secara ilmiah dapat meningkatkan kadar albumin dan daya tahan tubuh serta mempercepat proses penyembuhan luka pasca- operasi. Adapun kandungan gizi dari ikan gabus terdiri dari protein albumin, asam-asam amino, asam lemak tak jenuh dan mineral. Senyawa bioaktif yang berperan dalam mempercepat proses penyembuhan luka adalah albumin, glisin, dan seng (Zn). Penyembuhan luka sangat bergantung pada proses biokimia yang terjadi pada kulit yang melibatkan faktor intrinsik dan ekstrinsik. Proses penyembuhan ini akan dipercepat dengan bantuan dari ekstrak kering ikan gabus yang dirancang dalam bentuk topikal seperti krim atau gel. Baik albumin, glisin dan Zn ini penting untuk penyembuhan luka karena protein ini mampu mengikat Zn dan membawanya dalam plasma darah. Kekurangan Zn mengurangi proses penyembuhan luka. Karena nutrisi ini, dan vitamin lainnya, hadir dalam ekstrak ikan gabus sehingga dapat memicu pembentukan Sel Progenitor Endotel (EPC) dan mempercepat penyembuhan luka. Kehadiran Zn dalam ekstrak ikan gabus kemungkinan menjadi faktor kunci yang berperan dalam penyembuhan luka dan juga meningkatkan nafsu makan anak-anak. Zn adalah mineral penting dalam struktur dan fungsi membran sel. Suplementasi Zn dapat membatasi kerusakan membran yang disebabkan oleh radikal bebas selama peradangan. Selanjutnya, Zn juga terlibat dalam sistem kekebalan tubuh, mulai dari sistem pertahanan oleh kulit hingga regulasi gen dalam limfosit.

Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio Superior to Total Leukocyte and Neutrophil in Diagnosing Acute Appendicitis Using Alvarado Score
Authors: Untono Lesni , Prasetyo Sigit Adi , Riwanto Ignatius
Published: July 2020

Background: The diagnosis of acute appendicitis must be performed quickly and accurately to reduce the risk of negative appendectomy without increasing the risk of perforation. Objective: To analyze whether Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NL-R) in the modified Alvarado score is more accurate in diagnosing acute appendicitis in comparison with total leukocyte and neutrophil. Method: This was a cross-sectional study and the data were collected from Telogorejo Hospital Semarang (Indonesia) from November 2018 until October 2019. The best cut-off point of NL-R for predicting acute appendicitis was provided through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. NL-R was used to replace total leukocyte and neutrophil to form a modified Alvarado score. Area Under Curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of the original Alvarado Score and modified Alvarado score were measured. Results: Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of the original Alvarado score are 100%, 84.6%, 91.3%, and 100% respectively with cut-off point total score of >4.5. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of modified Alvarado score were 100%, 100%, 100%, and 100% respectively with cut-off point total score of >5.5. AUC modified Alvarado Score was 1.000 and AUC original Alvarado Score was 0.985. Conclusion: Modified Alvarado score diagnoses acute appendicitis more accurately than the original Alvarado Score.
A Concept of Process Validation in Pharmaceutical Industries
Authors: Mishra Devendra Kumar , Shukla Shubham
Published: July 2020

The aim of the article is to provide a brief presentation and general review on the criticalness of technical support of the pharmaceutical collecting strategy to ensure the security and minimization of the microbial turn of events. The process validation in the manufacturing unit is highly important to verify the surety at each and every stage of production. The microbial danger to aseptically created things in pharmaceutical clean rooms can be reviewed by the use of significant conditions that model the dispersing, move and explanation of microbial contamination, and the usage of numerical characteristics or risk descriptors. This should be conceivable in two-stages, with the primary stage used to overview the trading of contamination from the whole of the sources inside the clean room suite and the resulting stage used to assess both air and surface contact pollution inside fundamental creation locales. These two systems can be used to assess and diminish microbial danger at the basic structure period of the clean room and related collecting processor, brilliantly, for a developed gathering movement. Along these lines, underwriting is a basic piece of value confirmation. This separates the need for pharmaceutical and underwriting, the different ways of thinking, methods, and steps to be checked during the gathering process.

Identification of overloaded migration concept in migration theory
Authors: Éberhardt Gábor
Published: July 2020

The study examines the effects of regular and irregular migration on the Schengen external borders of Hungary, following the principles of classical and modern migration theories, using their analysis, applying the theory of science theory (Hautzinger, 2018, 11-21). From the data analysis evaluation it becomes possible to identify a feature that has not previously appeared in the European context, nor has it touched the nations of other continents in such a complexity as it has Hungary in 2014 and 2015, as well as with the requirements of the existing national Schengen regulatory frameworks. From the evaluation of the relationship between data analysis and the related elements, a new, previously unexplored and unpublished approach to the effects of migration has been identified, its description and the creation of a new concept. The results of the methodological research on the overload characteristic of regular and irregular migration may be the subject of independent studies.
THE POSSIBILITIES OF SUSTAINABLE LAND USE FORMATION IN UKRAINE
Authors: Malashevskyi Mykola , Palamar Alena , Malanchuk Mariia , Bugaienko Olena
Published: July 2020

The tendencies of the land fund change during the last years are considered.
An analysis of a number of normative documents was made to highlight the main problems in modern
land use. A number of problems in the sphere of land relations during the period of land reform are
listed. The systematic deforestation of protective forest stands, violation of the regime of land
use within the boundaries of water protection zones and coastal protective bands is observed.
In the article, an acute need to implement measures for the use and protection of lands with a view
to meeting the set tasks within the territories, which are subjected to significant anthropogenic
load as a result of population accumulation and high intensity of land use is highlighted. The need
for comprehensive measures to develop and implement technical solutions for the rationalization of
land use and land protection is argued in the article. The evaluation of the distribution of agricultural
enterprises by the average area of agricultural and the share of the total area of agricultural land
in Ukraine, which they occupy is presented. The dynamics of changes in the areas of agricultural land
and arable land in their composition, as well as pastures, hayfields, deposits, and perennial plantations
is investigated.
Nonresonant Instability of Kinetic Alfvén Waves with κ-electrons
Authors: Barik K. C. , Singh S. V. , Lakhina G. S.
Published: July 2020

A nonresonant instability of kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs) is studied in a three-component plasma system consisting of background cold ions, an ion beam, and hot electrons with a κ-distribution. The nonresonant KAW instability is produced by the combined sources of ion beam and velocity shear. It is found that the wave excitation by velocity shear alone will give rise to purely growing KAWs, whereas the ion beam velocity alone as a source cannot excite the waves for the considered plasma parameters. It is also observed that the combined sources of ion beam and velocity shear can excite the KAWs in nonresonant instability with finite wave frequency (the mode is not a purely growing mode). Also note that κ-electrons restrict the wave propagation very close to 90°, whereas the Maxwellian electrons permit the wave to propagate a few degrees away from 90°. It is inferred that the presence of κ-electrons shrinks the wave-unstable region of a KAW’s nonresonant instability. The coupling between KAWs and ion-acoustic waves occurs at a lower value of β

for Maxwellian electrons as compared to κ-electrons.
Wave-polarization Analysis of the Alfvénic Slow Solar Wind at Kinetic Scales
Authors: Telloni Daniele , Bruno Roberto , D’Amicis Raffaella , Carbone Francesco , Marco Rossana De , Perrone Denise
Published: July 2020

This paper reports the first polarization measurement in the Alfvénic slow solar wind. The normalized magnetic helicity is used as a diagnostic parameter for studying the polarization status of the high-frequency magnetic fluctuations, along with an attempt to identify various wave modes in the solar wind turbulence. Clear evidence for the existence of ion cyclotron waves (ICWs) and kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs) is also found in the Alfvénic low-speed plasma, robustly supporting the idea that the Alfvénic content of the solar wind fluctuations at fluid scales is the key parameter driving wave generation at kinetic scales. By separating the contributions to helicity from the two modes, it is possible to address the thermodynamical properties of ICWs and KAWs and provide the first direct estimate of their magnetic compressibility. In particular, while ICWs are mainly associated with higher levels of anisotropy and appear to be bounded by the threshold of proton–cyclotron kinetic instability, KAWs (which end up being more compressive than ICWs) are found at lower anisotropies and seem to be limited by the mirror mode instability threshold, extending as well to near the parallel fire hose unstable region. These result are relevant to theories of turbulence and dissipation in the solar wind.

We present a systematic analysis of the mid-infrared (MIR) properties of the youngest radio galaxies, based on low-resolution data provided by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and IRAS satellites. We restrict our analysis to sources with available X-ray data that constitute the earliest phase of radio galaxy evolution, i.e., those classified as gigahertz-peaked spectrum and/or compact symmetric objects. In our sample of 29 objects, we find that the host galaxies are predominantly red/yellow ellipticals, with some of them displaying distorted morphology. We find a variety of MIR colors and observe that the sources in which the MIR emission is dominated by the ISM component uniformly populate the region occupied by galaxies with a wide range of pronounced (≥0.5M
⊙ yr−1) star formation activity. We compare the MIR color distribution in our sample to that in the general population of local active galactic nuclei (AGNs), in the population of evolved FR II radio galaxies, and also in the population of radio galaxies with recurrent jet activity. We conclude that the triggering of radio jets in AGNs does not differentiate between elliptical hosts with substantially different fractions of young stars; instead, there is a relationship between the jet duty cycle and the ongoing star formation. The distribution of the subsample of our sources with z < 0.4 on the low-resolution MIR versus absorption-corrected X-ray luminosity plane is consistent with the distribution of a sample of local AGNs. Finally, we comment on the star formation rates of the two γ-ray-detected sources in our sample, 1146+596 and 1718–649.

Objective.

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is among the most frequent extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). In this study, we aimed to validate the DETection of Arthritis in Inflammatory boweL diseases (DETAIL) questionnaire in a multicenter cohort of patients with IBD enrolled at 11 gastroenterology units.

Methods.

From October 2018 to March 2019, consecutive adult patients with IBD, either Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis, independently filled out the DETAIL questionnaire in the outpatient waiting room. Within 2 weeks a blinded rheumatologist assessed all the patients, irrespective of the DETAIL results, and classified them to be affected or not by SpA. The performance of the questions was evaluated through Bayesian analysis.

Results.

Overall, 418 patients with IBD filled out the DETAIL questionnaire. Upon rheumatological evaluation, 102 (24.4%) patients received a diagnosis of SpA. Of the 6 questions, the best performances were found in question 6 [positive likelihood ratio (LR)+ 3.77], reporting inflammatory back pain at night, and in question 3 (LR+ 3.31), exploring Achilles enthesitis. The presence of back pain lasting > 3 months (LR+ 2.91), back pain with inflammatory features (LR+ 2.55), and a history of dactylitis (LR+ 2.55), also showed a fairly good performance, whereas a history of peripheral synovitis was slightly worse (LR+ 2.16). The combination of at least 3 questions answered affirmatively yielded a posttest probability of SpA of 80% or more. The presence of alternative diagnoses, such as osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia, represented a minor confounder.

Conclusion.

The DETAIL questionnaire is a useful tool for the early detection of SpA in IBD.
Bon chien chasse de race. Le topos de la naissance inconnue ou cachée dans le roman héroïque du XVII e siècle
Authors: Lallemand Marie-Gabrielle
Published: July 2020

L’étude du topos de la naissance inconnue ou cachée permet d’appréhender un imaginaire de la noblesse dont les romans héroïques font des récits. Les héros de ces romans sont représentés comme des self made men , non comme des héritiers : parce qu’ils se font un nom par eux-mêmes, ils méritent celui de leur père. Ainsi se trouve conciliées deux conceptions de la noblesse, la « conception féodale », dans laquelle elle découle de l’exercice de la profession des armes, de la vaillance et de la vertu, et la « conception moderne », dans laquelle elle est le fait de la naissance. L’histoire de tous ces héros de naissance inconnue développe la tension entre ces deux conceptions, avant que tout ne rentre dans l’ordre. Ces fictions ont donc continué d’entretenir jusque dans les années 1670 le mythe de l’alliance entre noblesse, profession militaire et vertu.
Les Généalogies d’Henry Mordaunt, une stratégie littéraire de reconquête sociale au service du roi
Authors: Lemée Emmanuel
Published: July 2020

En 1686, le comte de Peterborough Henry Mordaunt publiait, sous le nom de plume de Robert Halstead, un ouvrage de généalogie familiale camouflant un long texte autobiographique. Utilisant aussi bien la pratique du pedigree que la réécriture de sa propre vie, le comte mettait ainsi en place une stratégie littéraire convoquant la mémoire collective afin de justifier son parcours individuel et son ascension fulgurante à la cour du nouveau roi d’Angleterre, auquel il faisait sa cour en mettant en avant des racines catholiques et françaises réinventées. À travers la reconstruction du passé et des emprunts aux pratiques généalogiques alors à la mode en France, Henry Mordaunt mettait enfin en scène, à travers cet ouvrage, sa fidélité au souverain et à sa politique de plus en plus controversée.
Écrire et diffuser la généalogie : les (r)évolutions médiatiques du Mercure galant
Authors: Schuwey Christophe
Published: July 2020

L’apparition du Mercure galant transforma profondément l’écriture, la circulation et la conservation de la généalogie. Dispositif historiographique central du règne de Louis XIV et ouvrage à la mode capable d’attirer un public nombreux et varié, le périodique diffusa les hauts faits individuels bien plus efficacement que les autres productions généalogiques contemporaines ; il facilita l’accès à la publication imprimée, grâce à sa parution mensuelle et à son appel aux contributions des lectrices et lecteurs d’une part, et parce qu’il mit sur un pied d’égalité les hauts faits militaires et culturels de l’autre ; enfin, sa matérialité assura la conservation à long terme de ces informations, les rendant disponibles pour écrire l’histoire future des familles et du royaume. Dans une France traversée par l’angoisse des contrôles de noblesse, il offrait aux familles une nouvelle façon de se publier, tout en servant la politique de centralisation et de domestication de la noblesse menée par Louis XIV. L’apparition d’un tel support suscita évidemment des résistances fortes, dans le domaine privé comme dans les discours publics, en particulier dans la littérature. Au travers de cette étude de cas, l’article illustre la vivacité et l’urgence des questions médiatiques sous l’Ancien Régime : lorsqu’on intègre le Mercure galant à l’équation, l’on redessine le paysage généalogique et historiographique du siècle de Louis XIV.
Une écriture littéraire de la généalogie ? Jean-Baptiste L’Hermite de Soliers
Authors: Roussillon Marine
Published: July 2020

Étudier les écrits généalogiques de Jean-Baptiste L’Hermite du Souliers a pour premier effet de défaire le lien entre écriture généalogique et construction d’une histoire scientifique : dans ces ouvrages, la généalogie apparaît comme une forme de l’écriture épidictique et de l’écriture de soi, comme un genre à succès susceptible de plaire au public mondain et comme une manière de gérer un patrimoine à la fois familial et littéraire. En convoquant régulièrement la figure du frère de l’auteur, le poète Tristan L’Hermite, ces écrits généalogiques s’appuient en effet sur l’émergence de la littérature comme valeur pour fonder leur propre valeur.
De la liste au récit : comment raconter la généalogie ? L’exemple des mémorialistes d’Ancien Régime
Authors: Lesne-Jaffro Emmanuèle
Published: July 2020

La généalogie peut-elle être l’objet d’un récit ? Les mémorialistes d’Ancien Régime en fournissent des formules variées : de l’esquive (l’abbé Arnauld, Pontis) à la condensation (Retz, Mademoiselle de Montpensier, Madame de La Guette), ou au développement ample, nourri d’anecdotes, de traits descriptifs, de références aux fiefs et charges familiales, excluant souvent les lignages féminins. Le récit généalogique, dense et contraint, défie la mémoire et donne l’impulsion à la relation particulière d’une vie (Bassompierre, Nicolas Goulas, Robert Arnauld).
Prénoms et insertion dans un dispositif généalogique au XVII e siècle chez les Sublet : une histoire à connaître, des droits à faire valoir, des places à conquérir
Authors: Lefauconnier Camille
Published: July 2020

Le prénom donné à un enfant permet de singulariser un individu et de l’inscrire dans une famille. Chez les Sublet au xvii e  siècle, les prénoms donnés aux enfants révèlent les choix de positionnement de la famille. Les prénoms révèlent d’abord les orientations dévotes et éventuellement politiques de la famille : donner un prénom, c’est placer sous une protection, terrestre ou bien spirituelle. C’est aussi projeter une forme d’ambition voire de trajectoire sociale anticipée pour un enfant. Les choix onomastiques permettent aussi d’afficher la construction d’un patrilignage, avec des prénoms qui se répètent de père en fils généralement aîné ( Michel chez les Sublet d’Heudicourt). Mais le stock de prénoms évolue au fur et à mesure que la famille s’aristocratise au xvii e  siècle, lorsque les mâles de la famille Sublet épousent des femmes issues de familles supérieures en richesse ou en ancienneté nobiliaire. Ainsi la famille intègre-t‑elle de nouveaux prénoms issus du côté maternel, qui deviennent à leur tour des marqueurs généalogiques, rappelant l’ancienneté d’un lignage ou son ancrage géographique, ou encore l’importance d’un patrimoine transmis. Il faut ainsi souligner que la force revendiquée du patrilignage, affichée dans les généalogies officielles du Cabinet des Titres, ne correspond pas forcément aux réalités pratiques de la famille Sublet, dont la culture intègre volontiers la part des femmes.
Madame de Sévigné et la tradition des exercices spirituels. Enjeux autour de l’hygiène de vie et du souci de soi
Authors: Orwat Florence
Published: July 2020

Cet article se propose de mettre au jour l’inscription de Madame de Sévigné dans la tradition philosophique étudiée par P. Hadot. Il s’agit d’abord de souligner la place qu’occupe, dans l’existence de la marquise, une série d’exercices parfaitement codifiés, lesquels dessinent les contours d’une « manière de vivre » chrétienne. Il s’agit ensuite de montrer que les lettres se font le lieu d’une introspection sans concession. On ne saurait s’en étonner chez une admiratrice des moralistes chrétiens. Mais la lecture de Sénèque, de La Vie des Pères du désert , de La Vie d’Origène , de La Vie de Théodose lui fit aussi rencontrer la tradition de l’examen de conscience dont l’épistolarité représente une modalité majeure. Dès lors, se posait la question des vertus protreptiques d’une telle pratique, régulière de surcroît. Si l’augustinisme de la marquise est solidement acquis, d’autres influences nourriraient sa spiritualité.
La gratuité des réseaux de transports collectifs urbains : un modèle de financement particulier ?
Authors: Guelton Sonia , Poinsot Philippe
Published: July 2020

Le mouvement de mise en gratuité totale des réseaux de transports collectifs urbains a été initié dès le début des années 1970 mais il était resté longtemps cantonné à un nombre restreint de villes petites et moyennes. Son accélération récente pose la question de la soutenabilité d’une telle évolution pour les finances publiques locales car ce qui n’est pas perçu auprès des utilisateurs l’est forcément par la fiscalité locale et par le versement mobilité. Cet article tente de dégager des profils types d’agglomération à partir du poids respectif des différentes sources de financement à la veille de l’instauration de la gratuité. Il montre en première approche pour les agglomérations qui ont sauté le pas que la part des recettes tarifaires est généralement très faible et/ou que le recours au VM est très limité, ce qui limite le surcroît de dépenses supplémentaires à envisager pour la collectivité.
La gratuité des transports pour changer les comportements de mobilité ? Premiers retours de l’expérience dunkerquoise (2018-2019)
Authors: Javary Claire-Marine , Huré Maxime
Published: July 2020

Cet article rend compte d’une recherche assise sur une enquête relative aux premiers effets de la mise en place de la gratuité sur le réseau des transports publics dunkerquois, enquête menée auprès des usagers du bus et des acteurs du territoire entre septembre 2018 et août 2019, en partenariat avec l’Agence d’urbanisme locale et l’autorité organisatrice. Il s’agissait notamment de comprendre en quoi le nouveau réseau gratuit modifie ou non les choix modaux, les habitudes de déplacements et les représentations des habitants vis-à-vis des principaux modes de transport (voiture, bus, vélo). En second lieu, il s’agissait d’apprécier le report modal et la levée éventuelle des freins à la mobilité des personnes les plus précaires. Enfin, un troisième axe de la recherche portait sur les effets d’image du projet, premier du genre pour une agglomération de cette taille.
Gratuité des transports publics et cohérence des politiques de déplacements urbains

Au-delà des discours politiques qui viennent à l’appui des démarches d’instauration de la gratuité, il est important d’objectiver les effets d’une telle mesure en s’appuyant sur les résultats enregistrés par les agglomérations qui ont sauté le pas auparavant, avec un minimum de recul. Cet article propose de définir et de mesurer un certain nombre d’impacts dans différents domaines (parts modales, environnement, santé publique, etc.), avant de poser la question d’une approche davantage systémique des mesures destinées à rééquilibrer davantage l’usage des différents modes, ce qui constitue l’objectif principal.

The First Record of Bigscale Logperch and Range Expansions of Smallmouth Buffalo, White Crappie, and Gizzard Shad in Arizona
Authors: Jackson Zachary J. , Selby Glenn , Wilson Wade D. , Diver Tracy A.
Published: July 2020

Bigscale Logperch Percina macrolepida is reported and substantiated for the first time in Arizona. A single specimen was collected during a routine survey of Cow Springs Lake on September 26, 2017, preliminarily identified as Percina sp., preserved, and retained for species identification. We verified the specimen was a Bigscale Logperch through genetic analysis. Review of published literature and the U.S. Geological Survey Nonindigenous Aquatic Species Database suggests that this is the first known occurrence of Bigscale Logperch in Arizona. Further, three additional nonnative species were detected during our sampling events on June 21 and September 26, 2017—Smallmouth Buffalo Ictiobus bubalus, White Crappie Pomoxis annularis, and Gizzard Shad Dorosoma cepedianum—representing the first collection of these species in the Little Colorado River basin that we are aware of. We recommend further evaluation of the ecology, distribution, and abundance of these four nonnative species to better understand their effect on the native fishes of the watershed and the likelihood of establishment in the watershed and elsewhere in Arizona.
Impacts of Tourism Development and Residents' Satisfaction
Authors: Vargas-Sánchez Alfonso , Riquel-Ligero Francisco J.
Published: July 2020

The main aim of this chapter is to propose and test a model to reflect on the factors that, associated with the tourist development of a destination, are perceived by the local community to be influential at the personal and collective level, as well as to what extent they impact people's satisfaction with the community they belong to. An enclave with a fishing tradition in the province of Huelva (Spain) was selected for primary data collection. PLS technique was used for hypotheses testing. It is concluded the contingent nature of the categorisation of the impacts with an influence on the local community's perception of tourism development, in addition to the inexistence of a direct relationship between the perception of the impacts on a personal level and residents' satisfaction with their community, although an indirect relationship exists through the perception of the effects on the town as a whole.
Measuring Attendees' Cultural Event Experiences
Authors: Wikesjö Magda , Guerreiro Manuela , Pinto Patrícia , Paulo Dália
Published: July 2020

This chapter explores the concept of cultural event experience, as the interaction between an individual and the cultural event environment, altered by the level of engagement with multiple experiential elements and outputs, measured in four dimensions: experience novelty, affective engagement, cognitive engagement, and conative engagement. The purpose is to test the event experience scale (EES) as a valid measurement instrument for cultural event experiences, producing valuable insights for stakeholders and marketing management teams. The empirical study lays on a program of cultural and artistic events, the “365 Algarve,” which was launched in a bottom-up approach to involve residents and local cultural groups to increase territory cohesion and to reinforce the brand image of Algarve. Using a sample drawn from the attendees present at those events, the results confirm the validity of EES with a new dimension emerged: experiential learning. The study reveals a possible new measurement instrument, the cultural event experience scale (CEES).
International Standard Bases
Authors: Trubchaninov Serhii
Published: July 2020

The main standard bases for NPP instrumentation and control (I&C) systems are documents of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Standards are interconnected through the following: IAEA develops general safety principles for NPP I&C systems, and IEC develops technical requirements that use and specify safety principles. Structures of both bases are considered. IAEA and IEC safety classification principles are described. Classifications of I&C systems and their components are given on the basis of their safety impact. According to IEC, functions to be performed by I&C systems shall be assigned to categories according to their importance to safety.

The aim of this chapter is to evaluate the role of the designer as a socially responsible agent and the impact that artefacts created by designers have. The goal is to understand if the designer can help preserve local memories, as well as assess whether co-working influences how they emerge in the project. The awareness of the designer as a social agent, who works in collaboration with various agents towards the creation of value-added artefacts, is essential nowadays. As a case study, we bring the project developed by the Designlab4u laboratory in the village of Alhos Vedros, were the cultural and artistic itinerary of the village was designated as a place of memory. Ultimately, the intention is to evaluate whether or not the work developed for the exhibition was a driver of local memories.
Dividend Policy and Smoothening Behavior of the Southeast Asian Countries Including Japan
Authors: Khan Faisal
Published: July 2020

This study examines the dividend policy and smoothening behavior of major Southeast Asian countries including Japan. The study uses firm specific variables including corporate governance measures as independent variables. The results indicated financial leverage, return on equity, asset tangibility, Tobin Q, market concentration (HHI), and life cycle are the main determinants of dividend policy for the Southeast Asian region. In addition to this, the corporate governance measures (board composition, audit quality, and ownership structure) are also found as significant determinants of dividend policy of the selected economies. However, the results for cash flow and business risk are found to be contradictory due to their insignificant impacts on dividend policy in some economies. Thus, the study concludes that most determinants of dividend policy are similar within the regions. The study also used probit model in order to find probable factors that may influence the dividend policy and the results show similarity between determinants of dividend policy and probability factors that influence dividend policy. The probable factors are the same as the determinants of dividend policy. In addition to this, the study also tested the application of Lintner model, and the results clearly depicted that last year dividend as well as the current year earnings are the main factors that impact dividend policy of the firms within the region. More so, focusing on the speed of adjustment and target payout ratio of the firms, the study unties that firms have moderate speed of adjustment, and management is reluctant to cut dividends. Lastly, the target payout ratios of the firms also suggest that firms do have moderate target payout ratio except for Singapore with target payout ratio almost equal to 1. Conclusively, the study reveals that the determinants of dividend policy for the Southeast Asian countries are quite similar, firms do follow smooth dividend policy, and management is reluctant to cut dividends in the long run.
Thermal Transmission Properties of Sustainable Concrete with Supplementary Cementitious Materials
Authors: Khartabil Ahmad , Martini Samer Al
Published: July 2020

Understanding the thermal properties of a construction material is necessarily to evaluate its heat transfer resistance that has a major contribution to the energy-efficiency required to achieve sustainable structure. Thermal properties are evaluated through three main parameters namely: thermal conductivity, thermal resistivity and thermal transmittance. The aforementioned parameters are commonly referred as K-value, R-value, and U-value respectively. Recent regulations by Dubai municipality enforced to use sustainable concrete in construction. This is by replacing cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), such as grand granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and fly ash. The use of grand granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) at relatively high percentage replacement became a typical practice in ready-mixed concrete industry in Dubai. As such, it is essential to characterize the thermal properties of this sustainable concrete. The current paper investigates the thermal properties of sustainable concrete mixtures incorporating supplementary cementitious materials, air entrainment additives, polypropylene and hybrid synthetic fiber. K-value, R-value and U-value are evaluated in accordance with ASTM C518. Additionally, hardened density of all investigated mixtures are measured. The results show that the foamed concrete has better heat transfer resistance than that for the non-air entrained mixture.

Authors: Chen Zhi Tao , Zhao Hui , Yang Ying Zi
Published: July 2020

In this study, a drop weight testing method was employed to investigate the impact bending behavior of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) modified engineered cementitious composite (ECC). The ECC with no EVA was selected as control, and the static and impact bending behavior was compared with the EVA modified ECC. The results showed that the compressive strength of EVA modified ECC decreased by 20%~30% in comparison with control ECC with fly ash substitution ratio variation. The addition of EVA can improve the bending toughness of ECC dramatically under static loading condition. As different from the static bending, the impact bending toughness of EVA modified ECC was smaller than that of control under impact loading condition. However, the degree of damage of EVA modified ECC was lower than control due to small crack width.

Published: July 2020

In this paper, the phenomenon in which the fluidity drops significantly once the concrete, which is a problem in the construction work, is called “stiffness”, and the hypothesis of the occurrence mechanism was hypothesized based on a microscopic image of cement paste. Then, author developed a chemical admixture (stiffness reducing agent) that suppresses the aggregation of cement particles and verified the effect through various tests. In the verification test, author tried to quantify the stiffness of concrete by a simple test called the vane shear test. Also, through various construction performance tests, author confirmed the possibility of stiffness affecting the construction work.
Characterization of Silica Extracted from Rice Husk by NIR Spectroscopy and its Application in Separation Science

Published: July 2020

Rice is one of the major crops and staple food of more than half of the world’s population. Its production generates an abundant by-product, namely rice husk (RH). Rice husk is used as a fuel for power generation. The rice husk ash (RHA) generated during combustion becomes an environmental pollutant and its disposal is difficult. In this work, rice husk was used to produce silica by burning in a furnace at 650°C for 4 hrs. The produced silica was characterized by Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and then used to prepare thin layer chromatography plates (TLC) for testing its efficiency in the separation of organic compounds. The NIR spectrum of rice husk ash showed the presence of combination band of silanol OH stretching and siloxane (Si-O-Si) bending at 4531 and the first overtone of the free silanol groups at 7321 cm-1. The bands are strikingly similar to the bands in NIR spectrum of commercial silica. The silica produced from rice husk ash proved to be an equally effective stationary phase on TLC plates as the commercially marketed silica in the separation of organic compounds. The research work clearly provides not only an alternative source of silica but also provides a solution for the effective use of an environmental pollutant.

Published: July 2020

We have studied the magneto-transport properties in LMO thin films on a-SiO2 substrates produced by the metal organic decomposition (MOD) method. LMO thin films have been prepared by the MOD method in the 100 % O2 gas atmosphere on different heat treatment conditions. Although LMO single crystal is an antiferromagnetic insulator, LMO thin films we have produced in the 100 % O2 gas atmosphere by use of the MOD method shows the ferromagnetic metal properties for suitable heat treatment conditions. We consider that the excess of O2- ions in LMO thin films produced in the 100 % O2 gas atmosphere induces the strong hole self-doping into those and changes to ferromagnetic metal. The quantity of excess O2- ions in LMO is sensitive to the heat treatment conditions of the LMO production, especially the temperature, time and atmosphere gas. We have obtained the coercive forces from the magnetic field dependence of magnetoresistance. Based on the temperature dependence of the coercive forces, we have estimated the Curie temperature of LMO thin films.

Published: July 2020

The binary metal oxides of ZnO and MoO3 (ZMO) nanostructured thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition at different temperatures such as 298(as deposited), 623, 773 and 923K at 10Hz laser repetition rates for 30 min. The films were characterized by XRD, UV-Visible spectroscopy and IV measurements. The XRD discloses the amorphous nature of the film deposited below 773K. Few peaks which were seen in 923K sample revealed the formation of ZnMoO4 and Zn3Mo2O9 for the binary ZMO thin films. The optical energy band-gap was measured using Tauc plot and was found to be 2.4 to 2.7eV. These films were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy over a frequency range of 1Hz–1MHz, for measuring temperatures lying in 298K-473K domain. The frequency response of the imaginary impedance (Z′′) shows relaxation behavior along every measuring temperature. The binary ZMO pulsed laser deposited at high temperatures demonstrates better semiconducting behavior. The activation energy (Ea) which is minimum for high temperature PLD thin films was determined from the Arrhenius plot based on impedance.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the existence and approximation of fixed points of generalized Bregman nonspreading mapping which are also the zero points of maximal monotone operator in a real reflexive Banach space. Without assuming the ‘AKTT’ condition, we prove a strong convergence theorem for approximating a common element in the set of fixed points of system of generalized Bregman nonspreading mappings and the set of zero points of system of maximal monotone operators in a real reflexive Banach space. Our results improve and generalized many recent results in the literature.
