Potential of Two Agave Species for Pulp and Paper MakingAbstractBoth of Agave sisalana and A. cantala are the most favorite agave species for fiber producer plant in Indonesia. Nevertheless, research study for using fiber of A. sisalana and A. cantala for pulp and paper purpose is hard to find. This study aims to observe the characteristics of A. sisalana and A. cantala fibers as a raw material of pulp including fiber morphology, chemical components, pulp characteristics, optical and physical properties of the handsheets. The observation of all characters was based on Indonesian National Standard (SNI). The pulping method used both of soda process with 18% active alkali and kraft process with 18% active alkali and 25% sulfidity. The result of the study for the handsheets from A. sisalana and A. cantala fibers shows that the brightness, dirt, and tear index were fulfilled to SNI standard for NBKP while the tensile index and burst index just fulfilled to SNI standard for LBKP. The handsheet of A. sisalana fiber has a higher tear index, tensile index, and burst index than the A. cantala ones. Soda pulping of both agave species resulting higher pulp yield, cellulose polymerization degrees and physical properties than kraft pulping.Keywords : Agave sisalana, A. cantala, characteristics of the fiber, pulp AbstrakAgave sisalana dan A. cantala merupakan dua spesies agave yang paling banyak dibudidayakan di Indonesia sebagai tanaman penghasil serat alam.

Authors: Setiawan Agus , Fajarini Melati , Rahayu Sri
Published: October 2018

Background: The role of stakeholders is imperative to support the implementation of Evidence Based Practice (EBP) and Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based health care information system. EBP and ICT is crucial to ensure that doctors and nurses provide care based on current and appropriate evidence. Purpose: This study aimed to explore the implementation of EBP and ICT-based health care information access by doctors and nurses from the stakeholders’ perspectives. Methods: Semi structured interviews were conducted with 11 participants consisting of management representatives from Depok public hospital (RSUD), private hospitals, private clinics, and Depok city health office between November and December 2017. Data were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed thematically.Findings: It was found that the availability and readiness of the ICT sources mostly sufficient; While the doctors and nurses are allowed to conduct research activities in the facility, none have conducted it; There are seminars and forums where doctors and nurses disseminate clinical cases in hospitals, however issues related to current EBP were hardly discussed; While the managements support doctors and nurses to implement EBP, there is no particular policy and funding allocated for research and training related to EBP; Public and private hospitals have clinical instructors, however their area of work are still mainly on assisting trainings and students practice.Conclusion and Recommendations: There is a scant of EBP implementation in health care facilities in Depok city. However, several potentials of EBP enhancement are identified in terms of ICT, scientific forum, and the willingness of the management to enhance EBP. Advocacy on policy and resource arrangement is urged so that health workers would enhance their practice based on current evidence

The development of computer and telecommunications technology has experienced the significant change inprogress. It can be seen that technology has become a necessity because technological advances can accomplishtasks quickly, accurately, and efficiently. In line with the development of these technologies, it increasinglychanges the way people communicate. There needs to be security protection to protect data from the threat ofwild parties. Cryptography is the right method to secure data. One method that can be used is the AdvancedEncryption Standard (AES). This method is an excellent classical cryptographic algorithm that can be used toidentify data. AES algorithm is a symmetric ciphertext block that can encrypt and decrypt information quickly.Encryption changes data that can no longer be read called ciphertext; instead, decryption is changing theciphertext data into the original form that we know as plaintext. The AES algorithm has several key modelssuch as 128, 192, and 256 bits to encrypt and decrypt data on 128-bit message blocks. This study uses a 128-bitkey. AES encryption results can be trusted as one of the fast and powerful encryption methods.

Embodied Semantic Effects in Visual Word Recognition
Authors: Connell Louise , Lynott Dermot
Published: October 2018

We review the range of embodied semantic effects that have been found in visual word recognition paradigms (lexical decision, naming). Many different embodied effects have been elicited by distinct measures of sensorimotor information, and are associated with different theoretical accounts of why semantic content affects how quickly a word can be recognised. We discuss effects due to imageability, body-object interaction, relative embodiment, sensory experience, and modality-specific perceptual strength. Finally, we discuss the impact of embodied semantic effects on current models of visual word recognition.
The supply of media slant across outlets and demand for slant within-outlets: Evidence from US presidential campaign news
Authors: Stone Daniel , sood Gaurav , Garz Marcel , Wallace Justin
Published: October 2018

We conduct across-outlet and within-outlet (and within-topic) analyses of ``congenially'' slanted news. We study ``horse race'' news (news on candidates' chances in an upcoming election) from six major online outlets for the 2012 and 2016 US presidential campaigns. We find robust evidence that horse race headlines were slanted congenially with respect to the preferences of the outlets' typical readers. However, evidence of congenial slant in the timing and frequency of horse race stories is weaker. We also find very limited evidence of greater within-outlet demand for headlines most congenial to outlets' typical readers, and somewhat stronger evidence of greater demand for relatively \emph{uncongenial} headlines. We discuss how various aspects of our results are consistent with each of the major mechanisms driving slant studied in the theoretical literature, and may help explain when each mechanism is more likely to come into play. In particular, readers may be more likely to click on uncongenial headlines due to inferring that these stories are particularly informative when they stand in contrast to an outlet's typically congenial slant.

Hungary has been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons for quite a while. From legislation targeting ‘foreign-operating universities’ to border walls to keep refugees from entering Hungarian territory, the populist right-wing government of Viktor Orban has been sparking outrage in many sectors of Hungarian society, and the European institutions. The most recent reason for alarm again relates to migration and refugees, an area of widespread criticism of Hungarian authorities. Building on extremely hostile policies towards refugees that have been admonished by both the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), Hungarian authorities now intend to resort to highly dubious means to assess the applications of individuals claiming asylum on grounds related to their sexual orientation. It was already public knowledge that this category of claimants was subjected to poor treatment by the Hungarian authorities, but recent events suggest that the authorities have reached a new low.
Of Mind and Matter in Charles Duclos’s Acajou et Zirphile
Authors: Cuillé Tili Boon
Published: October 2018

Charles Duclos based Acajou et Zirphile (1744) on ten drawings by François Boucher, originally designed to illustrate the Comte de Tessin’s Faunillane, ou l’Infante jaune (1741). Separated from their source and rearranged, these illustrations, which depict a woman’s head severed from her body then reas sembled, tell quite a different story. I consider the materiality of the illustra tions, placing them in the context of the various media in which Boucher worked and which his drawings and engravings inspired, includ ing painting, costume and set design, porcelain, and tapestry. I also explore the materi ality in the illustrations, demonstrating how Duclos, like Boucher, places char acters and objects on the same ontological level in both his tale and his moral treatise, Considérations sur les mœurs de ce siècle (1751), which share the same pedagogical preoccupations. Boucher’s illustrations mediate rela tion ships between the two tales, Duclos’s tale and his moral treatise, and Duclos’s tale and Charles-Simon Favart’s opéra-comique Acajou, affirming the status of book illustration as an intermedial cultural object.
Animal Things, Human Language, and Children’s Education
Authors: West Emily M.
Published: October 2018

In this article, I analyze the animal materials incorporated into eighteenth-century educational products that were intended to teach children to read. I begin with an ivory alphabet toy and then extend my analysis to children’s books by Sarah Trimmer, John Aikin, and Anna Letitia Barbauld. Working at the intersection of material culture studies and animal studies enables new readings of this collection of familiar didactic texts by connecting the animals represented in them to the animal products used to make children’s textual toys. In both toys and books, linguistic systems are made from animal parts so that human subjects can be distinguished from animal objects. While animal life and meaning are emptied out in this process of objectification, the animal thing persistently asserts itself, revealing the beauty of rational order to be the disordered remains of another, animal form. By attending to these animal things, we can recognize and reread eighteenth-century texts as animal relics.
Caught by the Throat: Anti-slavery Assemblages in Paul et Virginie and Belinda
Authors: Cassity Conny
Published: October 2018

Extending the observations of literary critics who draw connections between Bernardin de Saint-Pierre’s Paul et Virginie (1788) and Maria Edge-worth’s Belinda (1801), this essay examines how Bernardin’s novel informs Edgeworth’s racial politics in Belinda via cultural artifacts. Edgeworth re-imagines the iron collar featured in Paul et Virginie as an Angola pea necklace in her novel, communicating through the necklace a message of cross-cultural tolerance. Along with the merchant ship Saint Géran in Paul et Virginie and the necklace’s remains in Edgeworth’s 1810 revision of Belinda, the jewellery and slave collar partake in an assemblage that infuses these authors’ novels with Black history. Focusing on these artifacts’ material legacies as presented in their respective novels, I argue that Paul et Virginie evokes connections to Mauritian Maroons’ traumatic past and that Belinda advocates for domestic tolerance of interracial marriage. These objects resonate through out these texts, offering a more nuanced and material understanding of Black culture than most critics have heretofore allowed these works.
Assessing the Promise of Secularism for a Diverse Canada
Authors: Juric Tanja
Published: October 2018

The aims and ideals of secularism have increasingly come under scrutiny with the critique that it is underpinned by Christo-normative and colonial assumptions and is therefore inherently inappropriate to represent and govern the needs of a culturally diverse society. This article examines these critiques and responds by suggesting that secularism needs to be rethought and infused with a critical and practical sensibility that aims for inclusivity and engagement instead of neutrality, because aiming at neutrality has often involved ignoring or dismissing religion. What is presented in this article is an argument for a practical form of secularism, one that seeks validity through application and testing, so that it would be better equipped to represent and protect the identity and rights of individuals from a variety of religious backgrounds than an abstract version of secularism, which purports to be neutral yet remains unvetted in this regard.
English-Canadian Social Science, Humanities, and Law Academic Secondments during the Second World War and Their Contributions to Canadian External Affairs
Authors: Hyland Christopher J.
Published: October 2018

In this article, I examine how a select group of English-Canadian social science, humanities, and law academics made significant contributions to Canadian foreign policy and diplomacy during the Second World War. Leaving the confines of their universities to work in wartime Ottawa through a formal secondment process, an influential and yet heretofore unrecognized group of seconded academics became key administrators and diplomats working on behalf of the Canadian state in the sphere of external affairs. Aiding a federal civil service short on administrative talent, seconded academics staffed crucially important posts in the Department of External Affairs, Department of Finance, Wartime Prices and Trade Board, and Wartime Information Board. Although permanent officials handled most issues regarded as first rank, the academics analyzed in this article did the heavy lifting in the committees and preparatory deskwork, making strong contributions to those issues of second rank, including the formulation and refinement of Canadian foreign policy. Academics also became both official and unofficial diplomats representing the nation in diverse international fora. During the Second World War, the federal civil service did not have enough personnel to handle all the representational duties, and academics stepped in to fill an important void. Through their work in the international sphere, academics actively sought to forge a new Canadian identity and facilitate a process whereby Canada became less overtly British and more sovereign and independent.

The book review is a remarkably durable form of criticism.

We’re so used to this piece of cultural furniture in its accustomed place that we neglect to ask the obvious questions. What is this thing? Is it functional or decorative or pointless?
Attitudes toward Open Access, Open Peer Review, and Altmetrics among Contributors to Spanish Scholarly Journals
Authors: Segado-Boj Francisco , Martín-Quevedo Juan , Prieto-Gutiérrez Juan José
Published: October 2018

This paper aims for a better understanding of the perspectives of contributors to Spanish academic journals regarding open access, open peer review, and altmetrics. Specifically, it explores how age, gender, years of professional experience, and perception and use of social media influence authors’ opinions of these developments in scholarly publishing. A sample of 295 contributors to Spanish academic journals participated in a survey about the aforementioned topics. They were found to hold a favourable opinion of open access but were more cautious about open peer review and altmetrics. The responses of younger and female scholars indicated more reluctance to accept open peer review practices. A positive attitude toward social networks did not necessarily translate into enthusiasm for emerging trends in scholarly publishing. Despite this, ResearchGate users were more aware of altmetrics.

Published: October 2018

Propolis is a resinous substance that bees use todefend their colonies against any pathogen. It has beenused in traditional medicine since ancient times because ofits therapeutic properties. Pollen analysis of propolis of AinTrid has shown that the region of Ain Trid is rich in plantspecies visited by bees (31 genus identified) and that themajority of these species are considered as medicinal plants,which gives propolis an important place in wound healing.The study of the wound healing activity is carried out in vivoon theWistar rats divided into 3 groups: group 1 treated withpropolis ointment, group 2 treated with commercial cream,and group 3 considered as untreated. The duration of treatmentwas estimated to be 23 days. The results obtainedshowed that the group treated by propolis ointment showeda high cure rate, in which the percentage of wound closurereached up to 94.93% ± 5.29 in the group 1, while in thegroup 2 arrived to 79.97% ± 13.01, and in group 3 was72.55% ± 19.94. The results demonstrated also that the numberof days required to contract 50% of wound area wasdifferent among the groups, in the 12th day in group 1,16th day in group 2, and 18th day post wounding in group 3.These results have shown that propolis can be prepared andused in traditional medicine as a natural ointment for thetreatment of skin diseases in our region.

Aspek strategi green simulation building terhadap model pengujian dimaksudkan sebagai upaya simulasi yang merangkul karakteristik dari kondisi lingkungan setempat. Kondisi lingkungan harus dilibatkan, mengingat perilaku angin diamati pada iklim tropis lembab. Selubung ganda merupakan teknologi fasad bangunan dengan perlakuan penambahan fasad kaca eksternal di luar fasad utama. Teknologi ini menciptakan rongga antara selubung yang terbukti pada sejumlah penelitian berpotensi dalam mengoptimalkan aliran udara untuk tujuan penghawaan alami. Ketika rongga dipanaskan, stack effect diharapkan dapat bekerja untuk mengalirkan udara. Di saat aliran udara lingkungan berada pada kondisi tenang, aliran udara dalam bangunan yang terjadi dipengaruhi oleh perbedaan suhu. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif untuk menguji permodelan kuantitatif simulasi dengan melakukan pengkajian terhadap sejumlah penelitian terdahulu yang diselaraskan dengan permodelan (mixed-method). Uji validitas diperlukan untuk melihat apakah perilaku angin dapat diuji dengan bantuan program simulasi CFD. Berbagai input data dilakukan dalam pengoperasian software CFD sehubungan dengan tahapan preprocessing, solving, dan postprocessing sesuai dengan kondisi setempat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa software CFD dapat digunakan sebagai sarana bantuan permodelan dan pengujian, serta menunjukkan keberhasilan stack effect dengan rentang ∆T berkisar antara 2.5°C – 3,3°C.

Proses konstruksi dengan menggunakan pendekatan pembangunan berkelanjutan merupakan sebuah keniscayaan, yang dibutuhkan dalam mengurangi dampak buruk pembangunan bagi generasi yang akan datang. Penggunaan material bambu sebagai material berkelanjutan, merupakan salah satu upaya implementasi pembangunan berkelanjutan. Namun demikian, akibat rendahnya daya tahan bambu, pengawetan bambu dibutuhkan untuk memperpanjang usia, namun hasil studi menunjukkan beberapa jenis pengawetan oleh masyarakat menggunakan bahan pengawet yang memiliki efek negatif pada lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi berbagai teknik pengawetan bambu oleh masyarakat yang ada saat ini serta menganalisis pengaruhnya pada lingkunga. Metode yang digunakan dengan cara menghitung besarnya emisi yang dikeluarkan oleh setiap jenis teknik pengawetan bambu yang ada di masyarakat, kemudian meninjau besarnya biaya lingkungan (eco-cost) atas besarnya emisi yang dikeluarkan tersebut. Adapun dampak lingkungan yang diidentifikasi antara lain adalah dampaknya pada kesehatan (human health), racun bagi lingkungan sekitar (ecotoxicity) dan penggunaan sumber daya dalam proses pengawetan (resource depletion). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa salah satu teknik pengawetan melalui perendaman dengan kapur barus dan diterjen memiliki tingkat emisi yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan teknik pengawetan bambu lainnya. Dengan adanya hasil identifikasi ini, diharapkan dapat dimanfaatkan dalam menentukan pilihan teknik pengawetan bambu yang lebih ramah lingkungan, sehingga dampak negatif bagi lingkungan yang lebih besar dapat dicegah.

Kawasan Taman Kencana saat ini hadir dengan taman aktif dan tujuan wisata kuliner. Hampir di akhir pekan daerah ini dipenuhi pengunjung dari Bogor dan luar Bogor. Namun, mereka hanya melihat kawasan Taman Kencana sebagai ruang publik kota dan taman pada umumnya tanpa mengetahui bagaimana Taman Kencana hadir di masa lalu. Taman Kencana, dirancang oleh Ir.Thomas Karsten sebagai titik temu pejabat pemerintah dan peneliti pada masa Kolonial Belanda yang masih memiliki cerita menarik. Bangunan bergaya Indo Eropa di sekitar taman kini banyak mengalami perubahan fungsidari bangunan rumah menjadi kedai makan, sehingga hal ini mendorong perubahan persepsi masyarakat terhadap kawasan sebagai salah satu bagian dari ruang kota kolonial. Tujuan penelitan ini adalah menyelidiki persepsi masyarakat saat ini terhadap ruang kota di kawasan kolonial yang sudah didesain untuk masyarakat Belanda.Hasil pengamatan dan wawancara lapangan akan dibandingkan dengan riset arsip kemudian diuraikan ke dalam mental map sehingga membantu peneliti mengungkap perubahan citra kawasan yang terjadi akibat persepsi dari aktor pengguna ruang kota. Kesimpulan Citra Kawasan Taman Kencana sebagai Kawasan Cagar Budaya Peninggalan Masa Hindia Belanda dengan Gaya Indische mulai mengalami pergeseran.Tuntutan pemenuhan kebutuhan secara pribadi dan brand image masing-masing pelaku ekonomi menyebabkan terjadinya dikotomi antara citra lama dan citra baru.

Kenyamanan panas merupakan salah satu faktor penentu untuk meningkatkan produktivitas kerja. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan mengukur kondisi fisik seperti suhu udara, kelembaban udara dan kecepatan aliran udara dalam ruang administrasi akademik Fakultas Teknik Universitas Sam Ratulangi Manado dan dengan menyebarkan kuesioner kepada karyawan dalam tiga interval waktu: pagi-siang-sore, sesuai dengan jam kerja. Untuk menghitung indeks PMV dan PPD, digunakan nilai tingkat metabolisme 1 met dan nilai insulasi pakaian sebesar 0,57 clo yang kemudian dibandingkan dengan hasil kuesioner. Tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara kondisi fisik dan respon karyawan yang ditunjukkan oleh sensasi panas dan preferensi panas dengan perhitungan PMV dan PPD. Dalam tiga interval waktu, ditemukan bahwa sensasi termal rata-rata dari para karyawan berada dalam kategori nyaman, dengan persentase yang bervariasi yang menurun di siang dan sore hari. Preferensi termal karyawan menunjukkan keselarasan dengan sensasi termalnya. Kendati demikian, beberapa karyawan pernah mengalami ketidaknyamanan dengan ruang kerja yang menyebabkan mereka mengalihkan konsentrasi ke pekerjaan lain atau keluar dari ruangan; yang pada gilirannya menurunkan tingkat produktivitas kerja.
