Enzymatic Textile Dyes Decolorization by In vitro and In silico Studies
Authors: Ayla Sridevi , Kallubai Monika , Pallipati Suvarnalatha Devi , Narasimha Golla
Published: June 2019

Background:

Laccase, a multicopper oxidoreductase (EC: 1.10.3.2), is a widely used enzyme in bioremediation of textile dye effluents. Fungal Laccase is preferably used as a remediating agent in the treatment and transformation of toxic organic pollutants. In this study, crude laccase from a basidiomycetes fungus, Phanerochaete sordida, was able to decolorize azo, antroquinone and indigoid dyes. In addition, interactions between dyes and enzyme were analysed using molecular docking studies.

Methods:

In this work, a white rot basidiomycete’s fungus, Phanerochaete sordida, was selected from forest soil isolates of Eastern Ghats, and Tirumala and lignolytic enzymes production was assayed after 7 days of incubation. The crude enzyme was checked for decolourisation of various synthetic textile dyes (Vat Brown, Acid Blue, Indigo, Reactive Blue and Reactive Black). Molecular docking studies were done using Autodock-4.2 to understand the interactions between dyes and enzymes.

Results:

Highest decolourisation efficiency was achieved with the crude enzyme in case of vat brown whereas the lowest decolourisation efficiency was achieved in Reactive blue decolourisation. Similar results were observed in their binding affinity with lignin peroxidase of Phanerochaete chrysosporium through molecular docking approach.

Conclusion:

Thus, experimental results and subsequent in silico validation involving an advanced remediation approach would be useful to reduce time and cost in other similar experiments.
Impact of Microencapsulation on Two Probiotic Strains in Alginate Chitosan and Eudragit S100 Under Gastrointestinal and Normal Conditions
Authors: Rahmati Farzad
Published: June 2019

Background:

Nanoparticles in biotechnology studies have played a significant role during the recent years and a wide range of them are being applied in food industries to prolong the microorganisms viability for more effective function in food processing and human gut.

Methods:

The main purpose of this research was evaluating the viability of two bacteria of Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus bulgaricus treated through double-coated beads including alginate Chitosan (First coating), and Eudragit S100 (Second coating) in simulated Gastrointestinal (GI) circumstance and yogurt. Free cells were employed as a control test and the results reflected that microencapsulated strains can survive longer than the normal cells.

Results:

The number of free cells of L. casei and L. bulgaricus respectively decreased from 6.0×106 and 7.2×106 (In the first day) to 4.1×105 and 5.3×106 (In the day 32) in GI condition. Also, in the same intervals of time, the number of double-coated L. casei and L. bulgaricus decreased respectively from 6.9×108 and 7.1×108 to 4.5×107 and 3.1×107 in simulated condition. Furthermore, the pH rate steadily decreased, however, it was more dramatic in the first week, whereas the trend gradually became more moderate in the last two measurements.

Conclusion:

Results indicated that microencapsulation increases the bacteria viability. Also, the pattern of pH changes was similar for both strains and revealed that the rates of pH and acidity in both double-coated and normal forms are close to the control test in the final measurement.

Authors: Begum Sainiara , Banerjee Archana , De Bratati
Published: June 2019

Aims:

The foliar residues of Mangiferaindica tree are usually burned or used for soil amelioration except nominal uses as fodder.

Methods:

To add value to this agricultural waste, extracts of the leafy residues of M. indica were studied to analyze their potential as antioxidants and to inhibit the enzymes related to the management of diabetes, Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), hepatic disorders as well as to identify important phytochemicals present in the extracts.

Results:

Results depicts that the leaves have notable bioactivities. The methanol extract (ME) showed much potential than ethyl acetate fraction after hydrolysis (HME) against α-amylase and α- glucosidase. The activity against the enzyme β-glucuronidase was also higher than that of the commercial β- glucuronidase inhibitor. The extract after hydrolysis showed better antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities. Detection of important phytochemicals such as chrysin and myricetn, alizarin, arbutin, hydroquinone, tyrosol, taxifolin, kaempferol, mangiferin, and the vitamin alpha tocophereol, in addition to a number of organic acids, amino acids, fatty acids, sugars and polyols by GC-MS and HPTLC based analysis of the extract of M. indica leaf, also suggest the use of the leaves as sources of these important phytochemicals.

Conclusion:

More concisely HME with more number of detected metabolites found better to be used against oxidative stress as well as enzymes related to neural and liver disorders than that of ME.

Determinants of trust in government in Latin America
Authors: Rene Caceres Luis
Published: June 2019

The objective of this paper is to identify the determinants of trust in government in the Latin American countries, using a cross section of average labor market and social data of the 2007-2012 period. The methodology consists of the estimation of equations based on the application of Phillips and Hansen’s cointegration least squares, using as independent variables labor market indicators, as well as those associated with public expenditures, institutional quality and others. The emphasis of this paper is to study the association between trust in government and economic and social variables. Results show that while inequality is an important determinant of trust in government, the rates of female self employment and quality employment have positive and negative impacts on trust in government. Male self and quality employment have no impacts. Citizens’ perception that government is committed to combat poverty leads to increased trust in government. This is a topic that has not received attention in the literature.The main limitation of this study is the reduced size of the sample of 18 observations. It is concluded that increasing social expenditures and reducing inequality would be conducive to higher levels of trust in the government in the Latin American countries.
Consumo e inversión óptimos y valuación de opciones asiáticas en un entorno estocástico con fundamentos microeconómicos y simulación Monte Carlo
Authors: Matías González Araceli , Martínez-Palacios María Teresa Verónica , Ortiz-Ramírez Ambrosio
Published: June 2019

En esta investigación se presenta un modelo alternativo que caracteriza el precio de una opción asiática de venta del tipo europeo con precio de ejercicio variable con media aritmética suscrita sobre una acción cuya volatilidad es estocástica; mediante un sistema de ecuaciones diferenciales que proviene de un modelo de control óptimo estocástico en tiempo continuo. Para tal efecto se desarrolla un modelo de un agente racional que dispone de una riqueza inicial y enfrenta la decisión de distribuir su riqueza entre consumo e inversión en un portafolio de activos, que incluye una opción asiática de venta y europea con precio de ejercicio con media aritmética, en un horizonte temporal finito. La valuación se lleva a cabo en términos del monto que el consumidor está dispuesto a pagar por mantener su contrato de opción asiática a fin de cubrirse contra riesgo de mercado. Asimismo, se aproximan los precios de opciones europeas y asiáticas de compra y venta por simulación Monte Carlo con parámetros calibrados adaptando el modelo de Cox-Ingersoll-Ross con volatilidad realizada. La fórmula de valuación obtenida no se había determinado mediante fundamentos de racionalidad económica. La evidencia empírica señala que los precios son muy cercanos en el corto plazo, pero a largo plazo, la diferencia entre las europeas y las asiáticas aumenta.

Movilización de los desfavorecidos: condición del desarrollo humano y sostenible
Authors: Canto Sáenz Rodolfo
Published: June 2019

El autor de este artículo sostiene que el crecimiento económico y la democracia no son suficientes para asegurar objetivos de desarrollo humano y sostenible; aun así, ambos factores deben estar presentes. A pesar de que existan altas tasas de crecimiento y elecciones libres, es posible observar cómo se acentúan la pobreza, la desigualdad y el deterioro ambiental cuando el poder económico y político está concentrado en élites que se resisten al cambio social. Ante este escenario, la organización política de las clases trabajadoras es imprescindible para traducir sus demandas en efectivas políticas públicas. La agitación y movilización de los
desfavorecidos, con el apoyo de sus aliados, amplían los alcances del razonamiento público en una sociedad democrática
Hans-Georg Gadamer: la historicidad de la comprensión de la historia
Authors: Amador Bech Julio
Published: June 2019

En este artículo se presenta una síntesis crítica de los lineamientos más generales de la hermenéutica filosófica, fundada por Hans-Georg Gadamer. Comienza por mostrar la manera en la cual Gadamer se basó en la fundamentación ontológica de la hermenéutica, llevada a cabo por su maestro, Martin Heidegger, en su obra Ontología (hermenéutica de la facticidad) de 1923. Expone los conceptos básicos de Gadamer acerca de la comprensión y la interpretación, para luego situarlos en el marco de la comprensión de la historia, la cual es, a su vez, histórica. Se muestra que la sociedad está inmersa en tradiciones, y la manera en la cual nuestra pertenencia a una tradición específica orienta la interpretación de los textos y de las obras de arte

Discurso como representación de sentido en las relaciones internacionales: el caso sino-chileno
Authors: Labarca Claudia , Montt Strabucchi Maria
Published: June 2019

El discurso social se constituye como creador de sentido y representación del mundo articulando, por tanto, realidades. Desde esta perspectiva, el discurso se transforma en un hecho social y por tanto “histórico”. Empero, para que este discurso tenga legitimidad, debe realizarse en contextos institucionales. A modo de ejemplificación respecto de la importancia del discurso en tanto formador y legitimador de las interacciones bilaterales entre República Popular China y Chile,
aquí se abordan los discursos institucionales – económicos, políticos y culturales – articulados en el contexto de la relación bilateral Sino-Chilena, dentro del contexto mayor de la relación entre el país asiático y América Latina
ENTRAINMENT FACTOR OF INDIVIDUAL GLITCH FRACTIONAL MOMENT OF INERTIA
Authors: Eya I. O. , Urama J. O. , Chukwude A. E.
Published: June 2019

The superfluid in the inner crust of a neutron star is assumed to be the reservoir of momentum released in a pulsar glitch. Recently, due to crustal entrainment, it appears debatable whether the magnitude of the inner crust is sufficient to contain the superfluid responsible for large glitches. This paper calculates the fractional moment of inertia (FMI)(i.e. the ratio of the inner crust superfluid moment of inertia to that of the coupled components) associated with individual glitches. It is shown that the effective moment of inertia associated with the transferred momentum is that of the entrained neutrons. The FMI for glitches in three pulsars, which exhibit the signature of exhausting their momentum reservoir, were calculated and scaled with the entrainment factor. Some of the glitches require an inner crust superfluid with moment of inertia larger than the current suggested values of 7-10% of the stellar moment of inertia.

We developed a mid infrared (MIR) solar telescope, centered at 10 µm. Various optical layouts were analyzed based on computer simulations and a RitcheyChretien 6-inches telescope was selected with a plate scale of 2.5′′/mm using a pyroelectric 4 × 16 pixels detector. The angular resolution is 36′′/pixel with a field of view of 9.6′×2.4′. Two germanium filters are used, one at the aperture of thetelescope and another near its focal plane. The detector was characterized with alaboratory black-body. The count values follow a linear relation with the blackbody temperature. The control systems for both the telescope and the detectorwere developed. Proper mechanical supports were designed for the filters, detectorand electronics. The system has been integrated and a user interface was developed. Preliminary observations have been made giving a signal-to-noise ratio of ≈ 1000.
MULTICOLOR STUDY OF V1009 PER, A CLOSE BINARY SYSTEM AT THE BEGINNING OF THE OVERCONTACT PHASE, AND OF CRTS J031642.2+332639, A NEW BINARY SYSTEM IN THE SAME FIELD
Authors: Michel Raúl , Acerbi Francesco , Barani Carlo , Martignoni Massimiliano
Published: June 2019

The first multicolor observations and light curve solutions of the eclipsing binary systems V1009 Per and CRTS J031642.2+332639 are presented. Using the 2005 version of the Wilson-Devinney code, both systems are found to be W UMa contact binaries. V1009 Per has a mass ratio of q = 0.362±0.002 and a shallow fill out parameter of f = 11.8 ± 0.6% while CRTS J031642.2+332639 has a mass ratio of q = 2.507±0.006 and a fill out of f = 13.6±0.4%. High orbital inclinations, i = 85◦.9 for V1009 Per and i = 83◦.2 for CRTS J031642.2+332639, imply that both systems are total eclipsing binaries and that the photometric parameters here obtained are reliable. Based on 16 times of minimum the orbital period variations of V1009 Per are discussed. The absolute dimensions of the systems are estimated and, from the log M − log L diagram, it is found that both components of the systems follow the general pattern of the W subtype W Ursae Majoris systems.

The Function of Linguistic Structures in Shaping Adonis's Vision of the World: The Siege as an Applied Model We chose the poet Adonis for a reason: he is a problematic poet, critic and thinker, who came out of the "heart of heritage" and from among the mainstays of modernity. It is not possible to study all of his work in one project. Therefore, his book The Siege, as he calls it, appears as a landmark in which he intensifies many forms of structures: the lexicon, syntactic, morphological, grammatical and symbolical structures, which all seem to interconnect amongst each other. We have overlooked the musical structure for it seems a bit not connected to our study. We have studied the question of interpretation and understanding through the constitutive relations of the semantic structures, and the cultural structure has been looked at in each of these structures, in which Adonis appeared as a critic of heritage and a historian of modernity and of new language. Indeed Adonis showed a unique proficiency in language skills: letters, vocabulary and beautiful patterns. He was also very skillful in their investment, and he harnessed all the diverging forms in the ways he sees the world emanating from the heritage and its infusion into the present and its problems. We have also been aware of the ways in which Adonis employed metaphor and symbol to revolutionize the fossilized stereotype, for the deep-rooted metaphor has its own distinguished and effective way of achieving its project.

The quality of learning Arabic at IAIN Bone still requires perfection. That means there are still many problems found such as from the aspect of teaching, students, method and the media. From the method aspect, lecturers tend to maintain the old method compared to exploring various methods that have been suggested by researchers in learning Arabic, in this case is Idafah. This tendency is one of the problem factors in understanding Arabic (Idafah). Learning Arabic, still desperately needs new innovations, because most of them (students) are khirrij (luaran) from public schools that do not have basic or even some who have never learned Arabic at all. Apart from that, the problems that are obtained are lack of facilities and infrastructure, facilities, language laboratories.

Published: June 2019

Modern architecture in its golden age has given a lot of influences to many architectures around the world. The spread of modern architecture at that time could not be stopped and became a style that is widely used throughout the world including IndonesiaThe influence of modern architecture emerged in Indonesia during the Dutch colonial occupation. European architects at that time introduced classical European architecture and modern architecture to Indonesian society. During the Colonial occupation and at the beginning of Indonesian independence, European architects designed public buildings such as government buildings, places of worship( like mosques and churches) and commercial buildings as well as several residences using classical European architectural and modern architecture.As the example that we can still see now is the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta, Indonesia, which was designed by architect Friedrich Silaban who self-taught modern architecture. The design of the Istiqlal mosque at a glance looks very much influenced by modern architecture, although domes and tower as a characteristic of Middle East architecture is still been used.The mosque as a whole is designed to look monumental which emphasized the used of a mixture of modern architecture styles.

La enseñanza de la etnobiología a través de la educación a distancia evaluada desde el estudiantado en el período 2015-2016
Authors: Salazar-Acuña Esteban
Published: June 2019

Introducción: la etnobiología como ciencia interdisciplinaria ha tenido un importante desarrollo en las últimas décadas en América Latina, especialmente por su vinculación con los planes de conservación y su importancia en el manejo de los recursos naturales por parte de las comunidades. En el caso de Costa Rica, la carrera de Manejo de Recursos Naturales de la Universidad Estatal a Distancia (UNED) es única universidad del país que ofrece una asignatura de etnobiología en su nivel de licenciatura que ofrece por medio de una modalidad virtual. Objetivo: identificar las fortalezas y debilidades de la enseñanza de la etnobiología en Costa Rica a través de un modelo virtual de educación a distancia; desde la percepción de los estudiantes de nivel de licenciatura de la carrera de Manejo de Recursos Naturales de la UNED en las cohortes 2015 y 2016. Métodos: evalué la percepción de 20 estudiantes pertenecientes a las cohortes 2015 y 2016 a través de una encuesta acerca del impacto de la asignatura sobre su formación académica y profesional; así como la calidad en materiales y recursos didácticos aplicados. Resultados: encontré que la mayoría de los estudiantes consideraron de impacto positivo a la asignatura en su formación académica. Según los estudiantes, el uso de una plataforma virtual no limita la capacidad del desarrollo del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Conclusión:  La etnobiología es poco estudiada e incorporada en los planes de manejo en Costa Rica debido al poco conocimiento de su aplicación, por lo que se debe lograr una mayor representación de la etnobiología en el currículo de las carreras asociadas a las ciencias naturales y sociales aplicadas.

Recognizing the Significant Role of Literature in Teaching College English
Authors: Khan Jalal Uddin
Published: June 2019

Purely based on my experiential knowledge, this article does not engage with the current so-called “academic” scholarship on the topic. It does not present, according to a critic, “empirically-focused and data-driven research” as the majority of traditional writing studies normally do nor does it “approach and theorize writing as a multidimensional practice and object of study” following what is known as a so-called “methodical analysis.” Free from and unpopulated by unnecessarily top-heavy “academic” and “educational” jargons, this new and original experience-based article, that boasts in not being academically derivative and adulterated, argues that College English (or freshman composition) should be as much literature-based as it is currently based on other writing mechanics related to technology and social media, and practiced through what sometimes seems to be only elaborately and long drawn out steps in the writing process with the assessment criteria impractically divided into minor as well as minute differences. The course should be more open and flexible in its syllabus and be taught with a reading of suitable literary materials as a major component and literature-based writing exercises, among, of course, the other interesting topics of contemporary culture.
Historicity of Ecocriticism and Ecocritical History: An Introductory Overview
Authors: Khan Jalal Uddin
Published: June 2019

Overlapping and interconnected, interdisciplinary and heterogeneous, amorphous and multi-layered, and deep and broad as it is, countless topics on ecoliterature make ecocriticism a comprehensive catchall term that proposes to look at a text--be it social, cultural, political, religious, or scientific--from naturalist perspectives and moves us from “the community of literature to the larger biospheric community which […] we belong to even as we are destroying it” (William Rueckert).

As I was in the middle of writing and researching for this article, I was struck by a piece of nature writing by an eleven year old sixth grader born to his (South Asian and American) mixed parents, both affiliated with Johns Hopkins and already proud to belong to the extended family of a Nobel Laureate in Physics. The young boy, Rizwan Thorne-Lyman, wrote, as his science story project, an incredibly beautiful essay, “A Day in the Life of the Amazon Rainforest.” Reading about the rainforest was one of his interests, I was told. In describing the day-long activities of birds and animals among the tall trees and small plants, the 2 pp.-long narrative actually captures the eternally continuing natural cycle of the Amazon. The budding naturalist’s neat classification of the wild life into producers (leafy fruit and flowering plants and trees), consumers (caimans/crocodiles, leafcutter ants, capuchin monkey), predators (macaws, harpy eagles, jaguars, green anaconda), decomposers (worms, fungi and bacteria), parasites (phorid flies) and scavengers (millipedes) was found to be unforgettably impressive. Also the organization of the essay into the Amazon’s mutually benefitting and organically functioning flora and fauna during the day--sunrise, midday, and sunset--was unmistakably striking. I congratulated him as an aspiring environmentalist specializing in rain forest. I encouraged him that he should try to get his essay published in a popular magazine like Reader’s Digest (published did he get in no time indeed![i]) and that he should also read about (and visit) Borneo in Southeast Asia, home to other great biodiverse rainforests of the world. I called him “soft names” as a future Greenpeace and Environmental Protection leader and theorist, a soon-to-be close friend of Al Gore’s. The promising boy’s understanding, however short, of the Amazon ecology and ecosystem and the biological phenomena of its living organisms was really amazing. His essay reminded me of other famous nature writings, especially those by Fiona Macleod (see below), that are the pleasure of those interested in the ecocriticism of the literature of place--dooryards, backyards, outdoors, open fields, parks and farms, fields and pastures, and different kinds of other wildernesses.

A Review on Soil Property Detection using Machine Learning Approach
Authors: Dr. Shivnath Ghosh Smriti Singhatiya
Published: June 2019

The agricultural sector is the backbone of the Indian economy. Although focused on industrialization, agriculture remains an important sector of the Indian economy, both in terms of contribution to gross domestic product (GDP) and jobs for millions of people across the country. One of the key factor for productive agriculture is soil. The purpose of the work is to predict the type of terrain using data mining classification methods. Agricultural properties and soil ownership play a crucial role in agricultural decision-making. This research sought to evaluate various mining association techniques and apply them to a soil database to determine if significant relationships could be created. Performance prediction is one of the applications that uses the concept of data mining to increase crop productivity. This makes the problem of crop productive performance is an interesting challenge. An earlier performance prediction was made taking into account the cultivator's experience with a particular crop and culture. This work introduces a system that uses data mining techniques to predict the category of analyzed soil datasets.
Changes in the German Defense Policy in the Context of the EU and NATO’s Transformation
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Gulyaev Egor Vladimirovich
Published: June 2019

The author studies the changes in the German secu-rity policy that have taken place over the past three years. Special attention is paid to the fact that these processes are affected by the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the EU and the victory of D. Trump in the United States presidential election. The re-search considers the German approaches to strengthening its influence in the EU and NATO. The author concludes that Germany makes successive efforts to overcome the military restrictions im-posed since the Second World War by seeking membership in major international or-ganizations. Brexit and election of Trump facilitate such a policy. Deeper military integration is benefi-cial to Germany as it provides an opportunity to reinforce its army and avoid undesirable military missions by deploying troops of other EU countries without loss of influence and reputa-tion. The progress of this policy will be assessed over the next few years.
Sociology of Law by E. Ehrlich
Authors:   North Caucasus Federal University, Serikova Svetlana Vladimirovna
Published: June 2019

The paper deals with the problem of determining the content and significance of the sociology of law by the Austrian lawyer E. Ehrlich. His works played an important role in developing the sociology of law in legal science. At the same time, the focus on the methods of presentation and cognition of classical sociology contributed to the synthesis of legal and sociological approaches to studying the law. This strengthened interdisciplinary relations while understanding the status of the sociology of law and its content-related continuity and novelty. The paper emphasizes the lack of in-depth Russian and international studies of Ehrlich’s works able to reveal the ideological and theoretical origins of his social and legal views. Having ana-lyzed the works of E. Ehrlich, the author concludes that an attempt of several researchers to equate the so-called legal pluralism with the sociol-ogy of law seems unreasonable and leads to a mis-interpretation of its evolution and current state.
CHINESE HARMONY COMMUNICATION THEORY: KOMPETENSI KOMUNIKASI UNTUK KESEIMBANGAN HIDUP
Authors: Mirawati Ira , Karimah Kismiyati El
Published: June 2019

Chinese Harmony Communication Theory lahir sebagai sebuah wujud usaha aktif untuk mengimbangi teori-teori komunikasi barat, dengan cara mengeksplorasi teori-teori yang berasal dari falsafah hidup orang timur. Salah satu falsafah yang penting untuk digali dalam kaitannya dengan interaksi manusia adalah falsafah orang Cina. Teori yang dikemukakan oleh Guo-Ming Chen pada tahun 2006 ini memperlihatkan bagaimana budaya cina memegang pandangan holistik mengenai komunikasi manusia sebagai sebuat kesatuan besar di mana subjek dan objek secara bersamaan saling melengkapi dan saling padu, lalu manusia cenderung untuk tenggelam dalam kelompok atau secara kolektif berorientasi pada proses interaksi sosial yang tiada akhir. Orang Cina percaya bahwa harmoni tidak hanya panduan untuk mengatur proses komunikasi yang tiada akhir, namun juga tujuan akhir dari komunikasi manusia itu sendiri. Etika komunikasi manusia adalah untuk mencapai kerja sama antar pelaku komunikasi yang berbasis pada ketulusan dan kebersamaan. Dalam interaksi manusia keseharian, orientasi harmoni terihat dari gaya interaksi yang tidak langsung, halus, adaptif atau penuh penyesuaian, konsensual, dan ramah.Artikel ini menjelaskan Chinese Harmony Communication Theory secara komprehensif dengan menggunakan studi literatur. Di dalamnya dipaparkan sejarah teori, asumsi-asumsi, contoh aplikasi, hingga keterkaitan dengan teori lain.
