The preparation of the undisturbed peat sample at the site must be conducted to understand its characteristics. However, the sampling process becoming difficult due to the condition of peat soils itself. Due to the limitation in gaining undisturbed sample, a study on reconstitution sample becoming more popular in term of investigating the properties of soil that represent the real site condition. The main purpose of this paper was to investigate the physical properties of undisturbed and reconstituted peat RS3.350, RS2.360, RS1.000 and RS0.425. In this study, the segregation of peat and expulsion water with the aids pre-consolidation pressure was applied to the reconstituted sample. The range value of the physical properties of reconstituted peat was varied from each type of peat classification which affected by the segregation fiber and pre-consolidation pressure effect method. The entire reconstituted peat samples were recons passing the opening sieve size 3.350mm, 2.360mm, 1.000mm and 0.425 mm and were subjected with the 50 kPa, 80 kPa and 100 kPa pre-consolidation pressures. As a result, the natural Parit Nipah peat soil was classified as hemic peat (H5). The percentage of water content, liquid limit, organic content and fiber content for the reconstituted sample is lower compared to the undisturbed peat sample; but differed from specific gravity where the percentage for the reconstituted sample was higher than the undisturbed sample. Conclusively, the segregation of peat fiber and pre-consolidation pressure methods greatly affect and change the physical properties of peat samples.

Religion Classes at Russian Schools: Reasoning and Thoughts

Published: November 2019

The problem of religious revival in Russia and the development of Russian re-ligious culture after the fall of the Soviet ideological system in 1991 is one of the urgent and intensively developed problems of modern social philosophy. In a country where for several decades all forms of religious life were banned, and any religiosity was subjected to obvious ( Lenin, Stalin and Khrushchev) or hidden (in the last years of the USSR) persecution, religious consciousness was not only not suppressed. But it is also awakened with unprecedented strength before, becoming one of the determining factors of the political and spiritual life of the entire post-Soviet space. The full significance of this phenomenon has not yet been revealed by history and philosophy, but without understand-ing it now it is impossible to imagine the dynamics of the processes taking place in our country. One of these processes is the adaptation of the educa-tional space of Russia to the new spiritual picture of society, and the most im-portant aspect of it can rightly be considered the discussions around the newly introduced school discipline "Fundamentals of religious culture and secular ethics", reflecting almost in its entirety the modern ideological state of the Rus-sian pedagogical community, and, in part, and society as a whole. This article is an attempt to answer the questions: how was the current concept of school religious education formed? Should it be religious or religious studies and cul-tural? What are the main principles of this concept? How does the practice of its implementation comply with these principles? What is the perception of this innovation in Russian society, and, in particular, in the educational space? And finally, what are the prospects for this new trend in Russian education? To solve the problem, such methods as analysis, synthesis, induction, deduc-tion, and the unity of the historical and logical were used. In the course of the research, the main approaches to teaching the fundamentals of religious culture that take place in the Russian educational space (secular ethics included in the new course were initially viewed as a politically correct appendage to its main religious content) were identified, the main trends in Russian educational poli-cy related to the problem of religious culture and its compatibility with the principle of secular education, identified some prospects for further research. An analysis of the problem leads to the conclusion that, on the one hand, the need to integrate religious education into the educational system of Russia is long overdue, on the other - that the current solution does not suit any of the parties to this process. The principles of selectivity and confessional orienta-tion of the modules of the new discipline cannot be fully implemented, the con-tent of the curricula does not correspond to the goals of religious studies, a clear understanding of which, moreover, is lacking.
Divide y vencerás: la antonimia como estrategia ideológica de polarización en el discurso de Hugo Chávez Frías
Authors: Adrián Segovia Thays
Published: November 2019

La comunicación política recurre a diversas estrategias y estructuras discursivas para expresar su ideología y las opiniones derivadas de esta. En el trabajo que a continuación se presenta se analizan siete textos producidos por Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías entre 1999 y 2003, siguiendo un enfoque hermenéutico que toma en cuenta tres niveles: sociohistórico, discursivo e interpretativo (Thompson, 1993). Dicho análisis permitió identificar la construcción discursiva de tipos de polarización (Lozada, 2008, 2011) mediante el recurso de la antonimia, estrategia lingüístico-discursiva empleada por Hugo Chávez para legitimar al propio grupo y deslegitimar al contrario, marcar límites, valorar o denostar y destacar desigualdades.
Las metáforas políticas en el discurso de dos líderes venezolanos: Hugo Chávez y Enrique Mendoza
Authors: Chumaceiro Irma
Published: November 2019

El presente trabajo describe y analiza, dentro del marco de la semántica cognitiva, los esquemas conceptuales y las expresiones metafóricas: metáforas y macro metáforas, utilizadas por dos líderes de la política venezolana Hugo Chávez y Enrique Mendoza con motivo del cierre de la campaña electoral previa al Referéndum Revocatorio Presidencial, que se realizó en agosto del 2004. La investigación pone en evidencia cómo el discurso político venezolano actual, especialmente el electoral, apela de manera recurrente y profusa a la metáfora, en razón de la capacidad que tiene este tipo de estructura para transformar nociones complejas y abstractas en imágenes de fácil captación y de gran efectividad sobre el auditorio, para evitar referencias directas que pudieran resultar demasiado comprometedoras o reveladoras, así como para lograr mayores efectos cognitivos en los destinatarios, como son el establecimiento de determinadas relaciones de sentido, la producción de inferencias, o la comunicación de imágenes no convencionales.

Published: November 2019

Communication breakdowns during natural disasters can significantly restrict disaster management operations. Furthermore, the cellular networks may also be unreliable in these scenarios. Hence, establishing communication using alternative means is of importance in these scenarios.
In this paper, we propose a prototype system to establish communication (using wireless mesh network - WMN) through the use of stationary and mobile ground nodes, and aerial nodes using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This network is ad hoc and establishes connectivity without the use of a cellular network or internet. Our system provides a complete end to end architecture, where we deploy an android application on smart phones at the user-end, the ad hoc network comprising of stationary and mobile nodes, and a graphical user interface (GUI) at the base station that shows situational awareness. We use Robot Operating System (ROS) as the middleware for message synchronization and storage. We evaluate the system with three nodes for different system configurations by using UAV and a semi-autonomous car. Our experimental results show that the system could be indispensable in providing large scale connectivity.

Published: November 2019

Over 50% of the world population is at risk of mosquito-borne diseases. Female Ae. aegypti mosquito species transmit Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya. The spread of these diseases correlate positively with the vector population, and this population depends on biotic and abiotic environmental factors including temperature, vegetation condition, humidity and precipitation. To combat virus outbreaks, information about vector population is required. To this aim, Earth observation (EO) data provide fast, efficient and economically viable means to estimate environmental features of interest. In this work, we present a temporal distribution model for adult female Ae. aegypti mosquitoes based on the joint use of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, the Normalized Difference Water Index, the Land Surface Temperature (both at day and night time), along with the precipitation information, extracted from EO data. The model was applied separately to data obtained during three different vector control and field data collection condition regimes, and used to explain the differences in environmental variable contributions across these regimes. To this aim, a random forest (RF) regression technique and its nonlinear features importance ranking based on mean decrease impurity (MDI) were implemented. To prove the robustness of the proposed model, other machine learning techniques, including support vector regression, decision trees and k-nearest neighbor regression, as well as artificial neural networks, and statistical models such as the linear regression model and generalized linear model were also considered. Our results show that machine learning techniques perform better than linear statistical models for the task at hand, and RF performs best. By ranking the importance of all features based on MDI in RF and selecting the subset comprising the most

Each country aims a prosperous life standard, and therefore follows socio-economical policies. The consequences of the policies determine their level of growth. There are many indications that show the level of their growth. In 1991, having declared its independence, Uzbekistan has undertaken the role of being a key country in Middle East with its rich cultural values, deep-rooted history, geopolitical location, and its economical potential. In addition, there have been several prominent factors which contribute country's level of growth such as cheap labor, high farming potential, and rich natural resources like oil and gas. In this study, the development of selected macro socio-economic values of Uzbekistan between 1991 and 2016 will be analyzed, and there will be economical and political suggestions for the future.
Uncertainties, Protectionism and Slowdown in Global Trade
Authors: Uygur Ercan
Published: November 2019

The United States announced plans to impose tariffs and quotas on her imports of certain commodities, notably iron, steel and aluminum, and on imports from certain countries, including those from China, in early 2018. These and counter announcements has been considered as the start of global trade wars.
Even before that, there has been a significant slowdown in the growth of world trade in recent years. In the three decades before 2011, annual world trade recorded a growth of about 6%. This was twice as high as world GDP growth, implying an income (GDP) elasticity of trade at around 2. Between 2011 – 2016, the income elasticity of trade has fallen to below 1, on average.
While the recent poor performance of global trade has been attributed to these structural and cyclical factors, this paper argues that the rise in both price uncertainty, demand uncertainty and policy uncertainty have and will have a significant effect on trade growth. Price uncertainty is reflected in fluctuations in real exchange rates, commodity prices and manufacturing prices. Demand uncertainty, on the other hand, is reflected by growth variability in time and among countries. Policy uncertainty can be traced in protectionist measures.

Published: November 2019

Factoring is a nonbank financial institution which meets the financing needs of the enterprises and minimizes the non-payment risk and stock financing which is based on the bank loans are two alternative financing techniques that enables collateral and collection and financing to SME’s, suppliers and commercial enterprises. These two methods are important in terms of the advantages they provide to vendors and suppliers. Reducing the non-payment risk, securing liquidity to business, minimizing the risk level of sales by making them safer and increasing competition power on the market are among the advantages.
Stock financing is another method which is much more recent than factoring became a current issue in 2000’s and developed to minimize non-payment risk and provide cash flow on the basis of bank loan. In Turkey, this method is only applicable to automotive industry for now. This method emerges as an advantageous method for businesses experiencing difficulties in financing, inability to collect their receivables, and the inability to deplete their inventories. With the stock financing method, car dealers have affordable and easy credit facilities in order to make payments to the main supplier in exchange for their existing inventories.
The aim of this study is to compare factoring and stock financing method and revealing the advantageous and disadvantageous points of two alternative methods.

De l’intérêt de coupler méthodes géophysiques et carottages sédimentaires pour l’étude des sédiments ﬂuviaux
Authors: VAUCLIN S. , MOURIER B. , WINIARSKI T.
Published: November 2019

Cet article vise à démontrer l’intérêt scientifique et opérationnel de coupler de façon systématique carottages et méthodes géophysiques pour l’étude et la gestion de sédiments ﬂuviaux. Deux techniques géophysiques sont présentées, car particulièrement adaptées au contexte ﬂuvial : le radar géologique ou GPR (ground penetrating radar) est fondé sur l’émission d’ondes électromagnétiques et permet d’obtenir une image des structures sédimentaires superficielles à terre ou en eau peu profonde, tandis que le sondeur de sédiment (ou sub bottom profiler) est une méthode acoustique qui s’utilise en contexte aquatique uniquement, généralement dans des profondeurs d’eau plus importantes que le GPR. La mise en œuvre des méthodes géophysiques demande peu d’efforts logistiques et donne des informations sur la géométrie du sous-sol avec une très bonne résolution, mais ne permet pas une caractérisation des sédiments. Les carottes sédimentaires – prélevées à terre ou en eau – peuvent être échantillonnées et analysées, ce qui permet une caractérisation des sédiments (granulométrie, chimie, teneur en matière organique, datation, etc.) ponctuelle dans l’espace. Les deux approches sont donc complémentaires et leur couplage permet d’étendre la caractérisation des carottes à l’ensemble des structures identifiées par les sondages géophysiques. Pour illustrer ce propos, la démarche est appliquée à un ouvrage hydraulique, où une combinaison de cinq profils GPR et trois carottes sédimentaires suffit pour identifier et représenter en trois dimensions l’ensemble des structures sédimentaires, déterminer la chronologie de remplissage de l’aménagement et calculer et localiser les volumes de sédiments plus ou moins pollués en polychlorobiphényles indicateurs (PCBi).
Aspek Eskatologis dalam Ekaristi sebagai Dasar untuk Membangun Masa Depan Bersama di Masyarakat yang Majemuk
Authors: Pakpahan Binsar Jonathan
Published: November 2019

Harapan atau ketakutan akan masa depan membuat orang melakukan berbagai hal di masa kini, yang positif maupun negatif. Bayangan masa depan sering kali menghantui sikap dan identitas seseorang di masa kini. Politik identitas yang terjadi akibat perkembangan filsafat postmodern membawa politik ketakutan yang melawan kemajemukan. Bagaimana kita bisa memiliki landasan teologis yang kuat dalam ekspektasi masa depan, dengan tetap memelihara perilaku positif akan masa kini? Bagaimana kita bisa membangun harapan bersama di tengah masyarakat majemuk? Makalah ini akan membahas bagaimana kita bisa membangun harapan masa depan dimulai dari mengingat masa lalu dan mengaktualisasikannya dalam identitas masa kini. Dalam teologi Kristen, identitas dan proses mengingat tidak pernah dapat dipisahkan, seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh Israel. Pusat dari perayaan ingatan ada dalam Ekaristi, di mana kita mengingat Kristus dan kehidupannya di masa lalu, sambil berharap akan pertolongan Allah di masa depan. Dengan ingatan sekaligus harapan ini, komunitas orang percaya dapat membangun masa depannya tanpa ketakutan akan ketidakpastian masa depan atau trauma yang dialami di masa lalu.

The objective of this research was to analize deeply and objectively the contemporary management quality of some leaders and their leadership at religiousity higher educations in Indonesia for finding a model of quality improvement the higher education. This research was based upon the naturalistic paradigm with qualitative approach, and the said methodology was a phenomenologic method, by using Ishikawa Fishbone Diagram as a technical tool to improve the quality. The datas were colleted through participant observation using interview, and document study. The data analysis and interpretation indicate that: (1) The real problem is the weak management quality; (2) The weak management quality is caused by the weak leaders and leadership. This main factor influences other factors, just as all influence one and another; (3) The root of weak management quality is caused by the weak leader and leadership. The findings lead to the recommendation to practice quality improvement, and to apply the model of quality improvement, in order for it be one of the quality religiousity higher education in this 21st century.
Integrating Cannabis into Clinical Cancer Care
Authors: Abrams D.I.
Published: November 2019

Cannabis species have been used as medicine for thousands of years; only since the 1940s has the plant not been widely available for medical use. However, an increasing number of jurisdictions are making it possible for patients to obtain the botanical for medicinal use. For the cancer patient, cannabis has a number of potential benefits, especially in the management of symptoms. Cannabis is useful in combatting anorexia, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, pain, insomnia, and depression. Cannabis might be less potent than other available antiemetics, but for some patients, it is the only agent that works, and it is the only antiemetic that also increases appetite. Inhaled cannabis is more effective than placebo in ameliorating peripheral neuropathy in a number of conditions, and it could prove useful in chemotherapy-induced neuropathy. A pharmacokinetic interaction study of vaporized cannabis in patients with chronic pain on stable doses of sustained-release opioids demonstrated no clinically significant change in plasma opiates, while suggesting the possibility of synergistic analgesia. Aside from symptom management, an increasing body of in vitro and animal-model studies supports a possible direct anticancer effect of cannabinoids by way of a number of different mechanisms involving apoptosis, angiogenesis, and inhibition of metastasis. Despite an absence of clinical trials, abundant anecdotal reports that describe patients having remarkable responses to cannabis as an anticancer agent, especially when taken as a high-potency orally ingested concentrate, are circulating. Human studies should be conducted to address critical questions related to the foregoing effects.
Rinkite-(Ce) in the nepheline syenite pegmatite from the Saima alkaline complex, northeastern China: Its occurrence, alteration, and implications for REE mineralization

The nepheline syenite pegmatite in the Saima alkaline complex in northeastern China is characterized by REE mineralization, mainly rinkite-(Ce) and associated alteration minerals. As the most abundant REE-bearing mineral in the pegmatite, rinkite-(Ce) closely coexists with microcline, nepheline, natrolite, and calcite. Some rinkite-(Ce) grains show compositional sector-zonation, in which the inner core displays relatively high Ti, Ca, and Sr concentrations, but low Zr, REE, and Na contents. Primary rinkite-(Ce) has undergone multiple episodes of fluid interactions, and accordingly, from weak to strong, three different mineral assemblages of hydrothermal alteration can be summarized: (1) rinkite-(Ce) + secondary natrolite ± K-feldspar ± minor fluorbritholite-(Ce); (2) rinkite-(Ce) relics + secondary natrolite + K-feldspar + fluorbritholite-(Ce) + unidentified Ca-Ti silicate mineral + fluorite and calcite; and (3) pseudomorphs after rinkite-(Ce). The pseudomorphs can be divided into two groups characterized by distinct mineral associations: (1) Ca-bearing strontianite + fluorbritholite-(Ce) + natrolite + fluorite + calcite coexisting with silicate minerals; and (2) calcite + fluorite + fluorbritholite-(Ce) + rinkite-(Ce) relics ± Ca-bearing strontianite ± ancylite-(Ce) associated with a calcite matrix. These alteration mineral assemblages are evidence of magmatic-derived alkali metasomatism due to an alkali-CO2-F-rich fluid and Ca-metasomatism due to a different, externally derived Sr- and Ca-rich fluid. The metasomatic events acted as the potential driving force for the rinkite-(Ce) dissolution and pseudomorph-forming process. The high concentration of rinkite-(Ce) in the nepheline syenite pegmatite results from the fractional crystallization of the Saima CO2-rich alkaline silicate magma, and the successive alterations of rinkite-(Ce) attest to the important role played by hydrothermal fluids in controlling the remobilization of REE and the crystallization of secondary rare earth minerals.
Médicos en la Corte española del siglo XIX. Influencias, sociabilidad y práctica profesional
Authors: Núñez García Víctor Manuel , Calero Delgado María Luisa , Bernal Borrego Encarnación
Published: November 2019

El artículo presenta un primer análisis sobre la asistencia sanitaria en la Corte española durante el siglo XIX. Se hará hincapié en cuestiones como la estructura y organización de dicha asistencia en Palacio, los médicos cortesanos desde una perspectiva de estudio sociológica y el papel y potencial influencia de destacados médicos de cámara. Hombres que, por su cercanía y contacto profesional directo con el Monarca de turno, podían manejarse con una cierta soltura en las redes de poder cortesanas y dentro de las relaciones de sociabilidad del ámbito más exclusivo del Madrid de mediados del siglo XIX: la Corte. En este sentido destacan los casos de Pedro Castelló Ginestá y Tomás del Corral y Oña. Todo ello desde un enfoque interdisciplinar bajo la imbricación de elementos metodológicos procedentes de la historia de la medicina y la nueva historia política.
Cinco claves preliminares para el estudio del psicoanálisis (lacaniano) en la España del segundo franquismo y la transición
Authors: Bilbao Rodrigo , Huertas Rafael
Published: November 2019

El presente artículo identifica y propone cinco claves a tener en cuenta para analizar la recepción y desarrollo del psicoanálisis en la España del segundo franquismo y la Transición: 1) la ausencia –o muy escasa presencia– de referencias psicoanalíticas en la producción psiquiátrica de los años cincuenta y sesenta; 2) las conexiones entre psicoanálisis, antipsiquiatría y estructuralismo; 3) la importancia de la llegada a España de Oscar Masotta, y su psicoanálisis “laico”, en la consolidación de un discurso y una práctica psicoanalítica al margen de la IPA; 4) el peso de los psicoanalistas argentinos llegados al estado español tras el golpe de estado en su país; y 5) la importancia de la Revista de la Asociación Española de Neuropsiquiatría en difusión y trasmisión del psicoanálisis. Estas cinco claves agrupan situaciones y procesos que han sido estudiados con desigual profundidad, pero cuya consideración en conjunto parece imprescindible para obtener una visión global del proceso. Se concluye que las relaciones psiquiatría-psicoanálisis, la circulación del conocimiento, el contexto socio-político y cultural, etc., explican, entre otras cosas, las características de la recepción y desarrollo de un psicoanálisis post-freudiano en el que la orientación lacaniana tuvo preponderancia sobre otros enfoques o escuelas.

Published: November 2019

[fr] Il est peu commun de mettre au jour de l’armement dans un contexte archéologique minier. La découverte faite à Castel-Minier est d’autant plus importante qu’elle est intervenue dans un contexte archéologique maitrisé. Elle met en lumière une dague à oreilles de la fin du XVe siècle qui diffère largement de celles connues dans les collections par sa sobriété. C’est la première fois que cet équipement offensif est découvert en contexte archéologique. Au-delà de la raison d’être de ce poignard dans une mine d’argent au XVe siècle, son étude permet de mettre en lumière pour la première fois une dague à oreilles de facture catalane destinée à un marché bien différent de celui des exemplaires connus dans la bibliographie.

Published: November 2019

With the rise of neural network-based classifiers, it is evident that these algorithms are here to stay. Even though various algorithms have been developed, these classifiers still remain vulnerable to misclassification attacks. This article outlines a new noise layer attack based on adversarial learning and compares the proposed method to other such attacking methodologies like Fast Gradient Sign Method, Jacobian-Based Saliency Map Algorithm and DeepFool. This work deals with comparing these algorithms for the use case of single image classification and provides a detailed analysis of how each algorithm compares to each other.
