Intermarriage Attitude among Ethnic Minority and Majority Groups in the Netherlands: The Role of Family Relations and Immigrant Characteristics
Authors: Huijnk Willem , Verkuyten Maykel , Coenders Marcel
Published: April 2019

Using a Dutch national sample containing 7,158 respondents, we examined to what extent 1) ethnic background, 2) family characteristics and 3) migrant characteristics are related to ethnic distance, expressed through the intermarriage attitude, of the Dutch majority and four migrant groups: Turks, Moroccans, Surinamese and Antilleans. First, our study showed that large differences in ethnic distance exist between the five ethnic groups. In concordance with notions of group status, the Dutch majority group showed relatively high levels of ethnic distance towards migrants. However, of the five ethnic groups under investigation, Moroccans reported the highest levels of ethnic distance. Second, results show that family cohesion, expressed through the adherence to strict family norms and contacts within the family network, is related to more resistance to ethnic intermarriage. This supports the idea that family cohesion fosters a preference for interactions with culturally similar persons since people from different cultural backgrounds can be seen as threatening the cultural identity and solidarity of one’s own group. Traditional family values were related to more resistance, while qualitative good relations related negatively to the resistance to intermarriage. The last finding confirms the notion that affective and warm (family) relations increase tolerance and positive attitudes towards ethnic out-groups. Third, with respect to migrant characteristics, the results indicated that Dutch language proficiency leads to less resistance to ethnic intermarriage, while migration out of family reasons increases the resistance to ethnic intermarriage. No association was found between the intermarriage attitude and generational status or length of stay.
Fictive Kinship, Conjugal Tie and Kinship Chain Among Chinese Immigrants in the United States
Authors: Li Peter S.
Published: April 2019

Ethnic kinship systems have frequently been evaluated in the context of culture, and in particular, the culture of poverty. This paper argues that kinship variations among ethnic groups may be more appropriately interpreted as differential responses to structural constraints . Using both official statistics and field materials, this paper shows how Chinese immigrants to the U .S. developed various kinship mechanisms such as pseudo-sons, hasty marriages and kinship chains in trying to circumvent a legal system which seeks to exclude them from entering the country. The formation of these kinship ties, whether real or fictive, cannot be seen in isolation from the historical and structural conditions under which the Chinese were admitted to the U.S..
“Family Modernization Values and Factory Employment: An Example from South India.”
Authors: Conklin George H.
Published: April 2019

lnkeles and Smith have argued that factory employment is a highly effective agent of social change in developing areas of the world. They further find that urbanization by itself is not an effective agent of social change. From a sample of villagers, urban non-industrial residents and factory workers in Karnataka State, India, it was found that family modernization values among factory workers were identical to those found among urban nonindustrial workers, though both factory workers and urbanites in general were less traditional than villagers. A close examination of thework by lnkeles and Smith suggests that their conclusions are biased by sampling difficulties. It is concluded that although factory employment, education and urbanization all lead to more egalitarian role patterns within the joint family system, there is no evidence that more egalitarian role patterns wi 11 in the future lead to a declining interest in joint family life. Rather, there is evidence to suggest that education will lead to increased tolerance for kinship ties.

Authors: Аlaeva Natalya N. , Тоmus Yury B.
Published: April 2019

The aim of the study is to obtain reliable values of bottomhole pressure calculation method in oil wells of PJSC «Tatneft» due to technical difficulties emerged when performing deep measurements of producing wells at the Romashkino oil field.

We have performed calculations of bottomhole pressure in wells according to Hasan — Kabir method and the RD 153-39.0-920-15 method. The comparison of the obtained values revealed that the average relative error of Hasan — Kabir method is 5,33 % (not more than 10 %), in contrast to the RD method.

Also, we have created the model of the process control system of oil production in the program MATLAB/Simulink. This program includes the algorithm of regulation the liquid rate. In modeling the control system, a transient process is observed, in which the value of the liquid rate increases and stabilizes. Thus, the application of Hasan — Kabir method in the proposed process control system of oil production is possible in all wells at the Romashkino oil field.

The paper presents contemporary economic discussions about the problems of inequality and the actual circumstances than make it difficult to take into account not only statistical, but also the socio-political conjuncture of wealth and income divergence. The paper concludes that objective and complex analysis of inequality faces methodological problems — such as discrepancies in the tools for measuring inequality or fundamental disregard for interdisciplinary research perspectives, — and also with disregard of the “subjective” component of the inequality perception.
What if Russia runs out of own oil resources?
Authors: Faltsman Vladimir K.
Published: April 2019

For more than half a century the growing dependence of Russia on crude oil production and exports, thus exhausting its national oil resources, has been observed. The country can get caught up in the staples trap — running out of own oil resources, with neither money to finance imports nor national importsubstituting production. So in the coming 25 years Russia is challenged to seek a proper solution, given that oil production will be declining. What is more, Russia will have to address the challenge under pretty tough circumstances, including turbulent oil prices, the burden of economic sanctions and reduction in the volume of employment. Will Russia, as a result, face just another transformation crisis similar to the bitter experience of 1990s? What alternative sources of energy can be found to replace oil? The author is searching for the way to get out of the staples trap and presents an optimistic scenario. Being one of the top oil-producing countries, Russia will be the first to face the depletion of national oil resources, so its experience in elaborating viable ways to overcome oil dependence may be instructive to other oil-producers and contribute to the general theory of economic growth.
Prospects for the use of the “model budget” in the distribution of equalization grants in Russia
Authors: Deryugin Alexander N. , Sokolov Ilya A.
Published: April 2019

The paper analyzes the impact of the “model budget” on the problems of intergovernmental relations in the Russian Federation: a high proportion of expenditure obligations of regional and local budgets and a high degree of interregional inequality in fiscal capacity and socio-economic development. It was concluded that the planned broader use of the “model budget” will not solve the problem of unfunded mandates and will lead first to a significant reduction in incentives for regional authorities to develop the territorial revenue base, and then to economic slowdown in the country. As an alternative approach to improving intergovernmental relations, options are being considered for adjusting the parameters of the equalization transfers distribution formula, the procedure for determining their total volume and calculating the budget expenditure index. In solving the problem of unfunded mandates, an equally important role is given to the procedure for preparing a financial and economic rationale for draft laws.
Potential output as a reflection of Russian economy perspectives
Authors: Orlova Nataliya V. , Lavrova Natalya A.
Published: April 2019

The article considers key factors determining potential output growth in Russia: capital input, labor market and total factor productivity (TFP). Within the framework of potential output analysis, the structural growth is assessed via (1) production function, (2) natural interest rate approach and (3) Okun’s law. The results of authors’models indicate the structural slowdown of Russian economic growth to 0.7—1.3% per year, which stays below consensus view of 1.5%. This deviation is partially explained by the effect of the sanctions against Russia: the results of authors’model suggest that the cost of sanctions totaled 0.3 pp of potential output growth per year.

The issue of data security is very paramount for any organization now a day So through this project we will show how an attacker can steal data from the air �gapped channels and also provide some measures in order to protect data from such type of attacks. Now a day attackers can leak data from isolated, air-gapped computers to nearby smart phones via covert magnetic signals. Attacks have been demonstrated on eavesdropping computer displays by utilizing these emissions as a side-channel vector. The accuracy of producing a screen pic depends on the emission sampling rate and bandwidth of the attackers signal hardware. The cost of radio frequency hardware increased with supported frequency range and bandwidth. A number of affordable software defined radio equipment solutions are currently available satisfying a number of radio-focused attacks at a proper price point. This work investigates that the accuracy influencing factors, other than the sample rate and bandwidth, which are noise removal, image blending, and image quality adjustments, that affect the perfection of monitor image reconstruction through electromagnetic side-channel attacks.
Water Consumption and Water Leakage Alert Using IoT
Authors: P Anand. , K Devipreetha. , R Haripriya.
Published: April 2019

Managing water consumption is important for life preservation. Knowing water consumption at homes can have a great impact on water saving. There is a global water crisis due to increasing population growth, climate change, increasing consumption. Giving a report about the state of the planet’s water, especially in developing countries, the report describes the outlook for future generations as worries. To visually check water taps in the house consumes time and requires a family member to be at the house. To remotely do so, we propose a system that monitors, alerts the user and allows the user to control the water flow through taps whenever there is an unusual reading of the water usage at home. The Water Flow Monitoring and Controlling System is an android- based mobile application. It is equipped with external hardware to sense a tap’s water flow rate and control which means turning on or off the water supply line whenever necessary. Registered users can login and view their house’s current water flowage from the mobile application. The external hardware updates the water flow rate at every specified time to a database through the Internet connection. If the users decide to turn on or off the water supply taps at their homes, it can be done through the on or off button provided in the mobile application. A user’s on or off instruction is set within the database. The hardware receives this instruction and performs the desired action.

Problems and Solutions in English Translations of Malay Short Stories
Authors: Choy Wan Samantha Yap , Abu Bakar Adeela , Amini Mansour , Rafik-Galea Shameem
Published: April 2019

The Malay stories of Pelanduk yang Bijak, Peniup Seruling and Seuncang Padi were translated to English, and analysed to identify the translation problems. The procedures were also investigated to find solutions for the problems using translation procedures as the framework for data analysis. After the translation of the stories, the source and target texts were analysed to identify problems and procedures. The findings of the study indicated two types of problems in the Malay-English translations of the stories; structural or semantic problems, and problems arising from cultural differences. Among various translation procedures used in the translations, literal translation was the most common procedure in the translation of the Malay stories. The findings from translations and the analyses in this study could be utilised in translator and interpreter training classrooms. Finding solutions to the translation problems could improve translators’ ability to better theorise while translating, and thus produce “good” translations, particularly in the translation of literary works from Malay to English. This study could have pedagogical significance, as the Malay short stories contain moral lessons by which Malay culture could be further introduced and “exported” to the English-speaking audience through literature.

Published: April 2019

Malaysia is going towards being a developed country. One of the major benchmark for this is the capability of Malaysia to be a significant place for traders and investors. To achieve this, every company and corporate members in Malaysia has to play their roles to create a harmony environment to attract traders and investors. This can be done by focusing to improve the productivity of the company where this directly relates to staff’s productivity. There are a lot of physical attributes that can be used as a benchmark for productivity such as ability to gain profit and to initiate an innovation of a company, as well as their contribution to the society. Our research involves to two parts; 1. developing framework to identify important criteria from national cultural values involved and 2. to identify the key criteria involved quantitatively. Both parts are important, however, in this paper, we intend to focus on the framework development and the second part will be published separately in the future. For this purpose, some literature surveys and reviews is conducted and analysis is made. A comparative review between criteria is performed to identify which criteria are effective in driving staff productivity. To add on, a hierarchical model for finding the weights for measuring the importance is developed for future reference.

Published: April 2019

Over the years, many people make up their minds to pursue postgraduate studies especially in Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in order to prepare themselves to confront the demands and challenges of 21st century. However, the increment of Ph.D students causes both university and government bodies concern on the capability of the Ph.D students to accomplish the mission of Graduate on Time (GOT) that is stipulated by the university. As a result, this study aims to examine the factors that affect the Ph.D students’ time frame in University Utara Malaysia (UUM) along their learning journey. According to the previous researches, the factors of student, children, supervisor, financial, employment, infrastructure, training, skills, project and peer have been identified as the elements that impact on the ability of the students to attain the GOT mission. A survey form has been distributed to thirty experts from three graduate schools of UUM to collect their opinions on the importance levels of each factor using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. The consistency degree obtained in this study is considered significant as it does not exceed 0.1. The outcome of this study could certainly assist the university to ameliorate the current situation based on the important level of factors hence boost the number of Ph.D students to accomplish GOT in the near future.
Impact of dissolved lignin in oxygen delignification and chlorine dioxide stages
Authors: Wilke Caroline , Andersson Niclas , Van Fleet Rick , Mathur Akhlesh , Germgard Ulf
Published: April 2019

While carryover of dissolved lignin between stages in the pulp mill fiber line is a well-known problem, it is still typically seen only as a minor disturbance factor or bias in the control of oxygen (O2) delignification and bleaching stages. The present study, however, reveals that it plays a larger role than anticipated, and that it should be properly analyzed in order to correctly control the process stages. This is especially important for the O2 and D0 stages as the lignin content is still high in these positions. The results of the study show that dissolved lignin carried over between stages may have a significant impact on the bleaching chemical consumption and, indirectly, on the pulp quality. Mill investigations have shown very large variations in the dissolved lignin content in the pulp before the oxygen delignification stage and before the D0 stage that have significantly influenced the bleaching chemical demand and, subsequently, the degree of delignification. In order to develop a better understanding of the mechanisms of the dissolved lignin’s reactions, laboratory O2 and D0 experiments with controlled levels of dissolved lignin were conducted. It was anticipated that a better feedforward control could be achieved using an online dissolved lignin measurement, and results from mill trials are presented. Chlorine dioxide laboratory experiments using different levels of carryover (i.e., different dissolved lignin contents) were conducted. It was concluded that the filtrate kappa number provides a relevant measure of the bleach demand due to the dissolved lignin and that, subsequently, the combined fiber and filtrate kappa number provides an appropriate measure for optimum feedforward control of the stages. Mill results support these findings, which show that the chemical consumption is reduced significantly using the total kappa number. The post-D or post-DE kappa number feedback control can most probably be eliminated by using this technology.
Improving recovery boiler availability through understanding fume behavior
Authors: LEPPÄNEN AINO , VÄLIMÄKI ERKKI
Published: April 2019

Unexpected recovery boiler shutdowns are rare, but they can cost millions of dollars in lost income. Sometimes the inorganic compounds in black liquor can cause sudden fouling or plugging problems that could not be predicted beforehand. The ash particles can be divided into two main types and size classes: carryover and fume. This paper focuses on the smaller fume particles that form through the condensation of alkali metal vapors and that deposit via different mechanisms than carryover. The location of fume deposition depends on several factors, such as flue gas and superheater temperatures, black liquor composition, and the flow field in the boiler. This paper presents results obtained with a computational method that simulates fume formation in recovery boilers. The paper focuses on the effect of black liquor composition and elemental release on fume behavior and suggests how these observations should be taken into account when designing new boilers or retrofits. Moreover, the paper introduces the possible applications of the modeling method. These include, for example, troubleshooting of fouling problems in existing boilers, designing superheater configurations for new boilers, and positioning soot blowers.
Formation of blue deposits in kraft recovery boilers
Authors: Mao Xiaosong , Tran Honghi
Published: April 2019

Fireside deposits in recovery boilers are typically white, red, pink, grey, black, or occasionally yellow, depending on where they are in the boiler, the mechanisms by which they are formed, and the environment to which they are exposed. Although rare, blue deposits have been reported, and some were “bluer” than others. This study systematically examines the cause of the blue coloration of deposits in recovery boilers. The results show that for a deposit to become blue, it must a) contain sodium carbonate, b) contain a small amount of manganese, c) be molten or partially molten, and d) have exposure to an oxidizing atmosphere. Because deposits always contain sodium carbonate and manganese, these requirements suggest that blue deposits can form only in the superheater region of the recovery boiler when oxidizing conditions prevail. Blue coloration is thus more likely to be observed in boilers operating at a reduced firing load with a high excess oxygen target.
Ring removal in rotary kilns used by the pulp and paper industry
Authors: Gorog J. Peter , Leary W. Ray
Published: April 2019

Ring formation occurs in the rotary kilns used by the pulp and paper industry to regenerate the lime needed to produce white liquor. The main rings are: burning zone rings, mid-kiln rings, dust rings and/or mud balls, and mud rings. While the exact mechanisms of ring formation are not completely understood, frequent changes in
the production rate and the mud solids, high soda content in the mud, and high levels of dust are believed to play a major role in ring formation. The presence of rings can restrict the movement of material through the kiln. If undetected, this can result in overheating of the refractory lining. In the worst case, the presence of rings can lead to unscheduled downtime to clean out the ring and replace damaged refractory bricks. Depending on the severity, the cost of repairs and lost production can be in excess of US$3 million for a single event. Even if the root cause of ring formation is known, from a practical standpoint, it can be difficult to eliminate rings. In mills where ring formation is a recurring problem, mechanical ring removal systems should be considered. This
paper describes the use of ring removal systems as a cost effective way to mitigate the problems associated with ring formation.

The effects of current density and sodium acetate concentration in the feed-salt solution were evaluated using synthetic sodium acetate solution in a feed and bleed mode. This mode of operation represents semibatch processing and was useful for determining the current efficiencies, energy consumption, and other system parameters for the production of about 160 g/L of acetic acid; maximum achievable concentration of acetic acid in electrodialysis; and 30 g/L of sodium hydroxide, which is the concentration sufficient for the extraction of sodium acetate from hardwood. The feed and bleed mode experiments performed at 60 mA/cm2 using 130 and 85 g/L sodium acetate as feed-salt solutions produced similar results, except for a small change in the amount of water transported into the acid and base compartments. The feed and bleed mode experiment performed at low current density of 40 mA/cm2 using 50 g/L sodium acetate as feed-salt solution produced almost similar quantities of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide as those in the other feed and bleed mode experiments. However, the energy consumption and current efficiencies were lower than those for the experiments performed at the current density of 60 mA/cm2.

This research is entitled Mapping the Tourism Potential of the Old City (Study of the History, Region and Cultural Value of the Old City on Bangka Island). The research objective was to map the tourism potential of the old city in Bangka Island, namely Belinyu and Muntok Districts. Overview this social mapping is divided into three aspects which include history, territory and cultural values. The problems in this study are formulated in three main questions, namely (1) How is the distribution of the old cities of Muntok and Belinyu based on Chinese, Malay and European clusters? (2) How does the distribution of the Chinese, Malay and European clusters affect the tourism promotion of the old city in Muntok and Belinyu? (3) How does Toponimi affect the tourism promotion of old cities in Muntok and Belinyu?The location of the study was conducted in Belinyu and Muntok Districts. The consideration is based on the search results of secondary data showing that these two regions were formerly known as the central areas of the Dutch colonial government (Muntok) and the center of tin mining activities (Belinyu).The research method used is descriptive qualitative research with social mapping techniques. Sources of data in this study include primary and secondary data. Primary data is obtained by means of interviews and direct observation from the speakers. Secondary data was obtained from reference books, research journals, and references through the internet that were related to the tourism potential of the old city.
MALAY LITERATURE: TRANSLATED OR NOT TO BE TRANSLATED
Authors: Mendrofa Melania Priska
Published: April 2019

In Asian literature, Malaysia is categorized as the minority for its literature. Its development in literary realm has just built for some decades. It is not like the other big countries, such as China, Japan, and many other Southeast Asia which have been famous for its literature in world. Having no difference with other literature, Malay literature is developed through translation. Since English is still the main language in world literature, Malay literature has to consider its literature to be translated in English too. Meanwhile, modern Malay literature has presented already the novels in form of English language verse. Many novelists have tendency to write directly in English rather than presenting their works in vernacular language (Malay language). Translation, specifically in English, does not play important role in Malay literature. Malay English novels can assist the circulation of Malay Literature around the world, yet it may also reduce the appreciation for Malay language itself. This paper aims to discuss Malay literature dilemma in using English as the vernacular language in novels or using English as the bridge for bringing Malay culture into World Literature.

Deaf children have a language to communicate with each other. It is known as sign language. The sign language has grammatical, morpheme, syntactical and semantically rules. It can be helped the deaf children to understand the signs. The disability people or gift children have an equal with normal people. So, they deserve to get what they want and communicate with each other. Generally, the grammar of sign language for deaf people has used hand shape or movement even facial expression or body movement.  This article has aimed to expose the ability of deaf children to understand the feelings and values of others. It refers to social and cognitive development. Deaf children have access to communicate how peoples’ interaction and explanation for behaviors to get better social dynamics as an advantage in cognitive development. The deaf children often show the behavior problem and inconsistent social and sometimes they could not understand social rules.

The objectives of this research are to describe the types of borrowing word and to find out the dominant type of borrowing words found in “I Fine Thank You Love You” movie. This research is descriptive qualitative research. Descriptive research tries to present the problem clearly based on the accurate data, explaining and describing the topic of a problem based on the theory used. From the analysis, it is found that there are two types of borrowing word found in “I Fine Thank You Love You” movie, they are pure and naturalized borrowing. In pure borrowing, there are 43 data or 38.39 %. While, in naturalized borrowing, there are 69 data or 61.61 %. It shows that pure borrowing shows high percentage than naturalized borrowing. In pure borrowing, a word purely taken from the source language (SL) into the target language (TL) without changing any letters. While, in naturalized borrowing, a word can be naturalized to fit the spelling rules in the target language (TL) so the readers can understand easily what the word means
INTRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS WITH PARTICLE 'THROUGH' IN BRITISH NATIONAL CORPUS
Authors: Anggraeni Diana
Published: April 2019

The aim of this study is to describe the intransitive phrasal verbs with particlethrough used in the British National Corpus. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method. Linguistic data sources were taken from the British National Corpus. The data containing the phrasal verbs with particle through, collected and then classified into several categories. The categories that are suitable for the purpose of the research are separated and labeled and then explained in a narrative according to the theory and research objectives. The results showed that the intransitive phrasal verbs with particle through in the British National Corpus consisted of two types, namely dynamic and stative intransitive phrasal verbs. Dynamic intransitive is a phrasal verbs with a particle through which indicates the existence of an activity or event carried out by the subject of the sentence. Dynamic intransitive phrasal verbs consist of phrasal verbs belonging to event verbs and activity verbs. Stative intransitive phrasal verbs are classified as existence verbs.
Perinatal depression effects: A narrative review
Authors: Field Tiffany
Published: April 2019

This narrative review summarizes publications from the last eight years (2010-2018) on the early interactions, developmental effects and physiological and biochemical profiles of perinatally depressed mothers and their infants. Depressed mothers are nonresponsive with their infants.The depressed mothers’ physiological profiles including low vagal activity, right frontal EEG activation and fMRI activation differences are consistent with the mothers’ lack of responsivity during interactions with their infants. Biomarkers of the mothers that would affect their mood states include elevated cortisol as well as low serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin levels. The infants of depressed mothers come to early interactions with a prenatal history of growth delays and less responsivity to fetal stimulation. At birth they have physiological and biochemical profiles that are similar to those of their mothers. They continue to show these profiles in later development (e.g. depressed vagal activity and elevated cortisol). Although their later behavior problems and cognitive delays have been attributed to the depressed mothers’ lack of responsivity during early interactions, these problems may also relate to their own lingering physiological and biochemical profiles.
