The Profitability of Indian Tourism Sector: A Fixed Model Panel Analysis
Authors: Kansal Purva , Khurana Arpit
Published: August 2018

The current paper tests the applicability of the SCP framework i.e. industrial structure, conduct and performance in the Indian tourism industry. Herfindahl-Hirshman Index was used to understand concentration index for the Indian tourism industry and the structure conduct and performance relationship was tested using fixed effect model for panel regression in Eviews. The data was collected from Prowess for 23 companies in the tourism industry for a period of five years i.e. 2011 to 2015. The results of the study indicated that the Indian tourism industry was highly concentrated between 2011-2015, with a few major players enjoying majority market share, however, in 2015, the indicators pointed towards lower levels of concentration. The panel regression analysis indicated that the SCP paradigm was not supported for Indian tourism industry, though support was found for relationship between conduct and performance. The negative relationship between conduct and performance also indicated that there was a higher expenditure on marketing and advertising in the industry. The results of the study indicated that the industry was not working on IO based structure but rather Efficiency bases model which needed to be studied further.
Public Debt of Himachal Pradesh: A Granger Causality Approach
Authors: Pushap Rakesh Kumar
Published: August 2018

The present study makes an attempt to analyse the debt position of Himachal Pradesh and discusses various issues impinging upon its growth and structure. Main objective of the study is to examine the causal relationship between public debt and financial indicators of Himachal Pradesh, i.e. economic growth (in terms of GSDP), public expenditure, revenue receipts, grant in aid and repayment of old debt. For the analysis, present study covers a period of 37 years i.e. from 1980-81 to 2016-17. Various statistical tools and techniques such as exponential growth rate, granger causality test and multiple regression have been used to carry out the analysis. Test results indicate uni-directional causality in many of the cases. Economic growth (in terms of GSDP), public expenditure, revenue receipts and grant in aid do Granger cause public debt. However, public debt does not Granger cause economic growth (in terms of GSDP), public expenditure, revenue receipts and grant in aid. Analysis also revealed the existence of feedback effect in case of causality between repayment of old debt and public debt. Lastly, economic growth (in terms of GSDP), public expenditure, grant in aid and repayment of old debt appeared as positive determinants of public debt however, revenue receipts stood as a negative determinant of public debt in Himachal Pradesh.
Standard method for microCT-based additive manufacturing quality control 4: metal powder analysis v1
Authors: Du Plessis Anton
Published: August 2018

X-ray micro computed tomography (microCT) can be applied to analyse powder feedstock used in additive manufacturing. In this paper, we demonstrate a dedicated workflow for this analysis method, specifically for Ti6Al4V powder typically used in commercial powder bed fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing (AM) systems. The methodology presented includes sample size requirements, scan conditions and settings, reconstruction and image analysis procedures. We envisage this method will support standardization in powder analysis in the additive manufacturing community. This is aimed at ultimately improving the quality of additively manufactured parts, through the identification of impurities and defects in powders.
Standard method for microCT-based additive manufacturing quality control 5: witness specimen analysis v1
Authors: Du Plessis Anton
Published: August 2018

MicroCT is a well known technique and is often used for non-destructive analysis of parts produced by additive manufacturing. This is especially useful to inspect the parts for potential defects such as excessive porosity or layered defects due to imperfect powder levelling in individual layers. While various online monitoring methods are under development, there is currently not yet any accepted method to identify such defects during the building process. Post-production microCT of the entire part allows for the identification of such errors, but its limitation is the resolution which depends on part size. Hence a large part may have small but important porosities which may be missed by microCT. This can be overcome by using a witness specimen built in the same process, and analysing this smaller sample at a high resolution. The porosity information from the smaller part can be used to evaluate the acceptability of the entire build. The workflow presented here serves to standardize this process: with a simple process, a standard geometry witness specimen and hence standardized scan and analysis procedures. A layered stop-start flaw is shown in the witness specimen to demonstrate the ability to detect this type of flaw.

This study aimed to observe the language attitude of elementary school teachers in Jakarta towards Indonesian formal writing and to reveal whether there are differences in language attitudes in terms of the status of schools (private and public). This study is descriptive qualitative and quantitative. Data collected through essay writing tests, questionnaires, and interviews. Questionnaires were distributed to 57 respondents from five areas in Jakarta, while the interviews were conducted to 12 teachers. Likert scales questionnaire form consist of statements about three components of attitude, namely cognitive, affective, and conative. This study found that elementary school teachers in Jakarta has a positive attitude towards Indonesian formal writing. Additionally, there were no significant differences between the language attitudes of public school teachers and private school teacher of elementary school. Although this study found that the teachers have a positive attitude towards Indonesian formal writing, their writing still showed deficiencies in application of aspects of language.
NATIVE VERSUS NON-NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKING TEACHERS: AN INSIGHT INTO INDONESIAN STUDENTS’ VOICES
Authors: Novianti Alviaderi
Published: August 2018

Several issues exist in determining the best English teacher for EFL students. Both native and non-native speaker teachers can succeed as English teachers. But there are always some pros and cons for both sides. This present paper intends to investigate the perspective or perception of college students towards their native English speaking teachers (NESTs) and non-native English speaking teachers (Non-NESTs) in teaching EFL. This research is a quantitative study with survey design. In gaining the data, twenty-five respondents of the 4th grade undergraduate students of the English Department in Cimahi were asked to respond the itemized statements on the questionnaire which used Likert-scales. The questionnaire itself was adopted and developed from the previous researcher with the similar problem background which was conducted in 2011. This study revealed that students have positive perceptions toward NEST and Non-NEST, although, in some circumstances, the students face several problems in the learning process. Thus, for both NEST and Non-NEST are required to handle the problems encountered by the students.

Dominação e reprodução da automobilidade: a rede de auto‑estradas das áreas metropolitanas de Lisboa e Porto
Authors: Padeiro Miguel
Published: August 2018

A mobilidade contemporânea é dominada pelo automóvel. Como sistema autoreprodutivo, a automobilidade tem‑se reforçado ao longo do tempo, contribuindo para um conjunto de alterações sociais, culturais e geográficas. Neste quadro, as auto‑estradas constituem um revelador da relação entre os territórios e o automóvel. Este artigo incide sobre as duas Áreas Metropolitanas Portuguesas (Lisboa e Porto), cuja rede de auto‑estradas cresceu nas últimas três décadas de forma significativa. Com base numa revisão da literaturae nalguns dados estatísticos produzidos no decorrer de uma investigação em curso, providenciam‑se pistas de reflexão acerca da realidade nacional. Os números mostram que as duas Áreas Metropolitanas ocupam uma posição excepcional no contexto europeu, com uma densidade de auto‑estradas superior a 140km de vias por mil km2, equivalendo a um possível sobredimensionamento da rede em 35‑42% face a outras metrópoles europeias. A expansão recente (2000‑2016) da rede de auto‑estradas mostra que esta situação não resulta só das necessárias políticas de modernização e de uma resposta automática ao desenvolvimento económico. Deve principalmente à ineficiente regulação da expansão urbana e à aceitação total, até um período muito recente, do automóvel como resposta às necessidades de mobilidade.

Casi diez años después del comienzo de la crisis económica internacional y en España, la población extranjera sigue ocupando un porcentaje importante en la sociedad española. No obstante, también es cierto que se ha producido un cambio de ciclo migratorio: España ha dejado de ser un punto de atracción para los flujos internacionales y han aumentado las salidas. No obstante, las entradas, aunque menos voluminosas, no se han detenido. Ahora bien, la dinámica difiere también según las nacionalidades. En esta comunicación nos interrogamos sobre la evolución de la población marroquí desde 2008 hasta la actualidad. Asimismo integramos los resultados de una investigación cualitativa que nos ayude a comprender porque la mayor parte de los marroquíes han decidido permanecer en España pese a las dificultades.
Implementing a network of weather and agrometeorological stations: a case study in Timor‑Leste
Authors: Andrade José Alexandre , Silva Tiago Gamboa , Trindade Hugo Miguel , Nabais Claudino
Published: August 2018

A modern and developed agriculture requires permanent and reliable monitoring of both meteorological/climatic and biological variables in agrometeorological stations. The aim of this work was, firstly, to implement a network of weather stations in Timor-Leste, a developing Southeast Asian country with irregular weather/climate monitoring for the past decades mainly due to political instability (wars, occupations,...), and, secondly, to establish from it, a network of agrometeorological stations. The administrative division of the country and the available agro-climatic zoning, the location of the existing stations and of those with relevant historical records, the agricultural and forestry practices in the country, the existing agricultural research centres as well as the structure and composition of the existing stations (number and type of sensors, communication system, …) and the human resources to ensure a proper stations network management were taken into account for this purpose. The implementation of a network composed by 50 weather stations was proposed to cover the entire national territory (299.34 km2/station). By strengthening the equipment and the ability to maintain it in 15 out of these 50 stations with sensors that measure agrometeorological parameters a network of agrometeorological stations included in the former was also purposed. Flexibility in the composition of each network has been safeguarded for the purpose of responding to any substantial change in financial or technical conditions in an ever-changing country. All methodologies and recommendations were discussed on the basis of a “management concept for weather stations” which requires not only scientific rigor in the choice of locations to be monitored, but also maintenance, human resources training and the involvement of beneficiary populations.

The purpose of this study is twofold. Firstly, it is a question of assessing the determinants of the willingness to pay (WTP) of farming households in Thian, a village located in northern Benin, exposed to the risk of anemia, to benefit from an agro-food innovation aimed at reduce these risks : dehulling and iron fortification of sorghum. Secondly, there was talk of evaluating the financial profitability of this innovation. To do this, socioeconomic and financial data were collected from 90 chef-kitchens prepared to adopt the innovation, the operator in charge of shelling and fortification services, the supplier of shelling equipment and the supplier of iron. The contingent valuation method was used to collect respondents' WTP and the linear regression model to identify the determinants of these WTP and calculate their mean value. In addition, the cash flow method was used to assess the financial profitability of de-hulling and fortification services. The results reveal that the WTP (whose average is 24.4 FCFA) is negatively influenced by the fact that the respondent belongs to the pilot phase of the project and the average quantity of sorghum devoted to the consumption of dibou (sorghum paste). In a context where the monetary discount rate is 12%, mechanical shelling and iron fortification of sorghum as an economic activity is not profitable.

In order to update knowledge on the spatio-temporal evolution of Pectinophora gossypiella, the geographical areas and the seasons of predilection of adult and larval populations have been studied in the last six years from 2012 to 2017. The study showed that adult populations are more abundant in the cotton production area of the South compared to the North. They have a very low activity during the intercropping season while the most important outbreaks occurred in October-December. The monitoring of larval populations carried out on farm scale showed that infestations started on cotton early August and increased until November, which leads to a strong relationship between the evolution of adult populations, larval infestations and cotton plant phenology. Late sowings D5 and D6 exhibited higher levels of infestation (0.50 to 0.80 larvae/100 bolls) as compared to early sowing (0.21-0.31 larvae/100 bolls). Annual variations of pest infestation levels increased from years to years, fluctuating from 0.14 to 0.95 larvae/100 bolls over the study period. Mapping of the geographic distribution of infestation showed more severe pest pressure in the southern cotton areas, mostly in surrounding areas of Bouaké, Bouaflé, Séguéla and Boron (18,90; 5,33; 1,52; 1,06 larvae/100 bolls respectively). With regard to the emerging status of P. gossypiella over recent years, the current pyrethroid resistance management strategy deserves to be improved on the basis of the pest geographic and seasonal profiles.

Published: August 2018

In this work, a series of ruthenium azopyridine complexes was studied theoretically as a sensitizer in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT). These dyes derive from ruthenium azopyridine complex RuCl2(Azpy)2 considered as the reference by grafting an anchoring group (-COOH). Hens, 4-Hmazpy, 5-Hmazpy and O-Hazpy ligands as well as Azpy were studied. For the four ligands, 20 isomers expected are studied. In order to explore their photoelectrical properties, the ground state and excited state properties of the isolated dyes have been calculated at B3LYP/LANL2DZ level. And the same work was done with the dye RuCl2(5Hmazpy)2 in interaction with titanium dioxide. Comparing to N3, the key parameters including the light harvesting efficiency (LHE), the electron injection driving force ΔGinject , the regeneration driving force ΔGregen , the open circuit voltage VOC, the life time τ and adsorption energy were all scrutinized in detail. It results from this calculation that the ruthenium azopyridine complexes can be used as sensitizer in DSSCs.

Published: August 2018

Traditional Colombian music represents a significant part of the repertoire of instrumentalists and its study is a constant element in music curricula throughout the country. Precisely, it is in the practice where difficulties posed by this music arise for students, since there is no bibliographic material that supports the form analysis of traditional Colombian music. This work aims to provide music students and, in general, musicologists, historians, folklorists, among others, with tools that facilitate the structural analysis of musical works belonging to the traditional Colombian Andean genres. Through the compilation and later analysis of the characteristic and specific musical literature corresponding to these genres, it seeks to concentrate and classify the knowledge around structural analysis. From this compilation and analysis there will emerge the guide The forms and analysis of traditional Colombian Andean music, with an appendix of musical scores. It will help to disseminate and apply this knowledge in the educational practice and, thus, to make a contribution to the national musicology, based on the specific study of traditional Colombian music under the aspect of the analysis of musical forms.

Authors: Rivera de Antonio Félix Andrés
Published: August 2018

This project consisted of an educational research-action on the inclusion of a pre-adolescent with Asperger’s syndrome in a regular classroom. Different teaching strategies were designed to fulfill this objective. To this end, several tools were adapted, among them, collaborative work with a design of group activities for students and teachers, as well as integration between institutional entities and the family as primary context of the student. The implementation of these strategies sought to recognize the student’s abilities within the group, so that, in this way, he could become an active part of the group. Different activities were implemented that improved the student’s social skills in other contexts, such as family and academy. The end result of this project is the design of innovative strategies based on the student’s attitudes, which were evidenced in the development of academic activities and active participation within the group.

Authors: Galvis Alba Mónica , Laitòn Cubides Paula Daniela , Ávalo Azcárate Angélica
Published: August 2018

This article presents a literature review on experiences that describe how laboratory practices in higher education look like today, in order to identify, using Bloom’s taxonomy, the cognitive and knowledge dimensions demanded by these practices. Subsequently, success factors are identified, such as motivation, self-efficacy, teamwork, and information and communication technologies (ICTs); these elements, when integrated in the development of research competencies, allow to transform the traditional approach and strengthen alternative approaches. This article constitutes a conceptual basis that will allow the formulation of a model that specifies strategies and activities for the design of laboratory practices.

Estandarización de una prueba de Reacción en Cadena de la Polimerasa Transcriptasa Reversa en tiempo real para Virus Chikungunya
Authors: Rojas Hurtado Jemima , Duque Luna Jonny Edward , Ramos Castañeda José , Martínez Vega Ruth Aralí
Published: August 2018

Introducción: Desde la introducción en América de Virus Chikungunya (CHIKV) en el 2013, se ha convertido en un problema de salud pública en el mundo por la morbilidad y la carga económica que genera. El diagnóstico de laboratorio es una herramienta vital en la evaluación de la enfermedad y de las posibles complicaciones, así como en la vigilancia de la infección en el vector. Objetivo: Estandarizar una técnica de Reacción en Cadena de la Polimerasa Transcriptasa Reversa (RT-PCR) en tiempo real para la detección de CHIKV. Materiales y métodos: Se obtuvieron muestras sanguíneas de personas con fiebre y exantema residentes en el Área Metropolitana de Bucaramanga. Se hizo extracción de RNA viral con estuche de Qiagen. Se probaron tres técnicas reportadas en literatura, de RT-PCR en tiempo real SYBR Green One-Step, la de Ho que amplifica un fragmento del gen de la proteína nsP2 y las de Ummul y Agarwal del gen de la proteína E1. Se usó el equipo StepOnePlus de Applied Biosystem. Resultados: En una muestra se detectó CHIKV por las técnicas de Ummul (Ct 27,14) y de Agarwal (Ct 26,78). Ho mostró resultados inespecíficos (Ct 35,85 y 36,97). Conclusiones: Las técnicas que permitieron detectar CHIKV fueron Ummul y Agarwal, siendo congruente con los límites de detección reportados en la literatura (4,12 x 100 copias RNA/ml y 100 copias/25ml, respectivamente). Considerando lo reportado por Ho se asume que la cantidad de RNA viral presente en la muestra es menor al detectado por esta técnica (102 PFU/ml).

Introducción: La dermatofitosis son micosis cutáneas causadas por distintos hongos queratinofílicos con capacidad de invadir la capa cornea de la piel, pelo y uñas. Microsporum canis es un dermatofito geofílico que afecta niños y adolescentes causando tinea cápitis y tinea corporis, principalmente. Para esta infección están disponibles diferentes tratamientos de uso tópico o sistémico, sin embargo, su efectividad es mínima dada su baja permeación, además, toxicidad y diferentes efectos adversos principalmente con los medicamentos sistémicos son descritos. De acuerdo con lo anterior, la búsqueda de nuevas moléculas activas, es necesaria. Objetivo: Evaluar la actividad antifúngica y citotóxica de derivados semisintéticos del eugenol frente a Microsporum canis y células de mamífero. Materiales y métodos: El efecto antifúngico y citotóxico del aceite esencial (AE) de Syzygium aromaticum (aceite de clavo), eugenol y dos derivados semisintéticos del eugenol (metiliso-eugenol e iso-eugenol) fue evaluado mediante la prueba de sustrato impregnado determinando la inhibición del crecimiento micelial de M. canis y la toxicidad en células Vero por el método colorimétrico usando la sal de tetrazolio MTT. Los resultados fueron expresados como porcentajes de inhibición y concentración citotóxica 50 (CC50), respectivamente. Resultados: La inhibición del crecimiento micelial de M. canis luego del tratamiento con el AE y todos los compuestos en estudio, mostró ser de un 100% cuando fueron probadas concentraciones de 300mg/mL. Adicionalmente, nuestros derivados mostraron ser parcialmente tóxicos para las células de mamífero con CI50 entre 60-100 g/mL. Conclusiones: Estudios complementarios para la determinación de la inhibición de la germinación y concentración fungicida, así como otros estudios de toxicidad, son pertinentes.

Published: August 2018

Introducción: La infección por el virus Hepatitis B (VHB) constituye una de las principales causas de enfermedad hepática en el mundo y un importante desafío para la salud pública. Aunque la vacunación ha resultado ser una herramienta muy efectiva en la prevención de la infección por VHB y ha disminuido sustancialmente el número de nuevos casos, esta sigue siendo una causa relevante de hepatitis crónica, cirrosis hepática y carcinoma hepatocelular. Objetivo: Describir el comportamiento inmunológico en donantes de un banco de sangre de Santander, con pruebas serológicas reactivas para VHB. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal realizado entre Julio del 2012 y Junio del 2016. Se incluyeron donantes de un banco de sangre de Santander, con pruebas serológicas reactivas para VHB (antígeno de superficie, anticuerpos contra antígeno de superficie, anticuerpos totales e IgM anticore). Los donantes se clasificaron según estadio de infección de acuerdo al CDC. Resultados: 821 donantes de 40.319 presentaron serología reactiva para VHB (2,03%). Se halló una prevalencia de infección aguda por VHB en 0,36% (n=3), infección crónica en 6,6% (n=55), infección natural en 66,2% (n=544) e interpretación no concluyente en 21,9% (n=180). Conclusiones: Es importante hacer la clasificación de estadio de infección según marcadores serológicos como una estrategia en el diagnóstico de portadores asintomáticos de esta entidad. Llama la atención la frecuencia de interpretación no concluyente, en este grupo se recomienda implementar técnicas de biología molecular para la correcta clasificación, especialmente para detectar la Hepatitis B oculta.
