A Preliminary Examination of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-Based Program for Incarcerated Domestic Violence Offenders
Authors: Berta Meg , Zarling Amie
Published: April 2019

Batterers intervention programs (BIPs) have only a marginal impact on domestic violence (DV) recidivism, in part because treatment attrition is high. The current study evaluates a new BIP based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (called ACTV, Achieving Change Through Values-Based Behavior) in a sample of incarcerated DV offenders who failed to complete community-based BIP (N = 23). The current study examined participants' risk factors and assessed criminal justice outcomes in the 1 year following treatment completion. The men exhibited high levels of experiential avoidance, adverse childhood experiences, psychopathy, and attachment when compared to clinical and forensic samples from past research. Consistent with the theory underlying ACTV, experiential avoidance decreased significantly over the course of treatment. In addition, 1 out of 22 (4.5%) had a domestic assault charge in the 1-year follow-up period. Overall, the current study offers preliminary support for the use of ACTV with noncompliant, incarcerated offenders.
The Interactive Effect of Happiness Emotion Goals and Emotion Regulation Self-Efficacy on Anxiety and Depression
Authors: Clauss Kate , Bardeen Joseph R. , Benfer Natasha , Fergus Thomas A.
Published: April 2019

Overvaluation of happiness might be a transdiagnostic risk factor for psychopathology. However, emotion regulation self-efficacy may influence the association between happiness emotion goals and psychopathology. The purpose of the present study was twofold. First, we sought to replicate prior findings showing that happiness emotion goals and depressive symptoms are positively related, but only among those with lower emotion regulation self-efficacy. Second, we examined whether the noted interaction effect would relate to generalized anxiety symptoms in a sample of general population adults (N = 504). Results from regression analyses were consistent with our predictions suggesting that individuals with unrealistic happiness emotion goals and low emotion regulation self-efficacy may be particularly prone to experiencing negative emotional states and psychological distress. Further, study findings suggest the possibility that the noted interaction has transdiagnostic value and it may be important to target emotion regulation self-efficacy in the service of alleviating internalizing psychopathology.

The Paradiplomatic Role of the ConIFA in Promoting Self-Determination of Marginalised Entities
Authors: Utomo Ario Bimo
Published: April 2019

The purpose of this paper is to apply the paradiplomacy framework in exploring the role of NGOs in promoting the issue of marginalised peoples. More specifically, it highlights the Confederation of Independent Football Association (ConIFA), an international football governing body comprising minority peoples, stateless nations, and regions which are unrecognised by the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). The author attempts to discuss ConIFA’s ability in voicing the issue of self-determination concerning its members, which are mainly sidelined in the mainstream international affairs. This paper discusses two questions: (1) does ConIFA qualify to be regarded as a paradiplomatic actor? If yes, in what ways? and (2) to what extent does ConIFA advocate the issue of self-determination of its members? In so doing, the researcher first studies the nature of ConIFA through its own constitution as well as examining its activities through various sources. Second, the author also utilises core concepts on paradiplomacy to seek in which category does ConIFA’s activities fall into. The findings suggest that ConIFA qualifies as a paradiplomatic actor in the sense that it has two forces: horizontal and vertical. Horizontally, it platforms its members to interact with like-minded counterparts through numerous activities. Vertically, ConIFA also possesses a comparative advantage to reach a wider audience by framing the issue through sport. However, the study also indicates that while self-determination is promoted through ConIFA, the organisation does not possess enough political capacity to facilitate a deeper advocacy, thus making its paradiplomatic activities mainly fall into the cultural category.

Conventional and Mixed Model Approach to Estimate Heterosis of the Growth Traits in Boer Goat’s Crossbred Offspring Populations
Authors: Widyas Nuzul , Prastowo Sigit , Nugroho Tristianto , Ratriyanto Adi
Published: April 2019

Heterosis is often utilized as a success indicator in a crossbreeding program. It is defined as the deviation of the crossbred means relative to their parental breeds. Heterosis mechanism is highly dependent on the genetic factors and thus, we incorporated genetic information in its estimation. The objective of this article was to compare heterosis estimated with conventional and mixed model approaches. In total, phenotypes of 3804 individuals were recorded. Data were obtained from a crossbreeding experiment involving Boer bucks and Jawarandu does. Observed traits were birth weight, weaning weight and average daily gain. Conventional and mixed model methods were used to estimate the heterosis. The heterosis values (%) between B×B vs B×J, estimated with conventional method were -11.38, -10.51 and -10.39; with mixed model were -6.23, -9.27 and -9.68 for BW, WW and ADG respectively. Heterosis values in B×(B×J) relative to B×B, estimated with conventional method were -6.16, -10.35 and -11.69; whereas with mixed model were -8.01, -10.82 and -9.14 for BW, WW and ADG respectively. Conventional method tends to underestimate the means phenotype with lower standard errors compared to mixed model analysis results in all traits. Conventional method also introduces biased heterosis estimates compared to the mixed model. Conventional method ignores any potential effects in the estimation procedures; whereas mixed model approach incorporates all the systematic and random effect including family relationship information. Thus, mixed model produced more reliable results in genetic parameters estimation. We recommend employing mixed model analysis in estimating heterosis.
Para-fiqh: Bridging Thematic Fiqh to Ushūl and Ushūl’s Response to Specialization of Fiqh
Authors: Siregar Ahmad Sholihin
Published: April 2019

The latest trend regarding the study of contemporary thematic Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) is built upon a paradigm that fiqh, as a science developed in the Islamic tradition, is able to respond to every modern challenge. This paradigm seems to be incompatible with the study of the Islamic legal theory (Ushū al-fiqh) which is considered stagnant. However, the study of Ushū al-fiqh is, the initial gate to the discussion of legal reasoning which enables those who master it come up with theoretically correct rulings and hopefully responsive to the needs of the times. Discussing the thematic Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) without going through the Ushū al-fiqh thinking framework may lead to a serious gap to the product of the thematic fiqh study. The thematic fiqh studies such as fiqh siyāsah (Islamic jurisprudence on constitution), fiqh munākahat (Islamic jurisprudence on marriage), and Islamic jurisprudence on health issues are not infrequently distorted from the actual context. This article offers a way of dealing with the gaps. In this case, the terminology presented is para-fiqh. Para-fiqh is a term to bridge the trend between the thematic fiqh studies and the stagnancy of Ushū al-fiqh study which, in turn, give birth to the antithesis in the form of thematic Ushū al-fiqh. This article employs the conceptual-doctrinal approach which seeks to present the problems of various classical literatures of the Muslim scholars. By scrutinizing the concept para-fiqh, it is hoped that: first, this article presents a universal legal argument on some particular legal themes; second, it explains the principles of Ushū al-fiqh to understand the thematic fiqh products. The findings emphasize that the para-fiqh concept is important for enriching the intellectual tradition of Muslim communities, as well as being a bridge between the gaps created by the study of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and the study of Islamic legal theory (Ushū al-fiqh).Keywords: para-fiqh; thematic ushūl, thematic fiqh, Ushūl jināyat; Ushūl mu`āmalat.
The Difference of a Child (Walad) Concept in Islamic Inheritance Law and its Implications on The Decisions of the Religious Courts in Indonesia
Authors: Furqan Ana Amalia , Alfitri Alfitri , Haries Akhmad
Published: April 2019

This article is based on the fact that there is still the disparity of decisions among the Religious Court Judges on heirs, especially a child (walad), when handling the inheritance disputes. This is because there is a general provision of the meaning of walad contained in the Indonesian Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) in which it includes both a son and a daughter. In addition, there is no obligation for Religious Court Judges to use the KHI as the basis for legal considerations, allowing for some Religious Court Judges to use the classical Islamic Jurisprudence (fiqh) as the legal basis in deciding a case. This article aims to investigate the impact of the general concept of walad (a child) and measures should be taken the Government to accommodate the legal reference material for Religious Court Judges, especially the KHI and the classical Islamic Jurisprudence (fiqh). It employs normative legal research which primarily examines the decisions of the Religious Courts in East Kalimantan, specifically Samarinda, Tenggarong and Tanah Grogot. The findings reveal that since there is no obligation for the Judges to use the KHI, referring to the classical Islamic Jurisprudence when giving legal considerations and deciding cases of inheritance is not against the procedural law in Indonesia. Yet, this measure potentially creates the disparity of decisions in the Religious Courts since the fiqh differs in determining who the walad is: merely sons or include both sons and daughters. This has frustrated the objective of the KHI as the codification of Islamic Law in Indonesia which unites the differences of opinions in the fiqh and, thus, assures legal certainty in resolving the disputes. Hence, the government should enact the KHI as a Law in Indonesia in order to end the forum of choice for the Judges in basing their decisions so that the disparity of decisions in the Religious Court minimized and legal certainty assured for the justice seekers.Keywords: Islamic inheritance law, walad, fiqh, religious court's decision.
Artificial Intelligence Approach for Modeling and Forecasting Oil-Price Volatility
Authors: Al-Fattah Saud M.
Published: April 2019

Oil market volatility affects macroeconomic conditions and can unduly affect the economies of oil-producing countries. Large price swings can be detrimental to producers and consumers, causing infrastructure and capacity investments to be delayed, employment losses, inefficient investments, and/or the growth potential for energy-producing countries to be adversely affected. Undoubtedly, greater stability of oil prices increases the certainty of oil markets for the benefit of oil consumers and producers. Therefore, modeling and forecasting crude-oil price volatility is a strategic endeavor for many oil market and investment applications.

This paper focuses on the development of a new predictive model for describing and forecasting the behavior and dynamics of global oil-price volatility. Using a hybrid approach of artificial intelligence with a genetic algorithm (GA), artificial neural network (ANN), and data mining (DM) time-series (TS), a (GANNATS) model was developed to forecast the futures price volatility of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude. The WTI price volatility model was successfully designed, trained, verified, and tested using historical oil market data. The predictions from the GANNATS model closely matched the historical data of WTI futures price volatility. The model not only described the behavior and captured the dynamics of oil-price volatility, but also demonstrated the capability for predicting the direction of movements of oil market volatility with an accuracy of 88%.

The model is applicable as a predictive tool for oil-price volatility and its direction of movements, benefiting oil producers, consumers, investors, and traders. It assists these key market players in making sound decisions and taking corrective courses of action for oil market stability, development strategies, and future investments; this could lead to increased profits and to reduced costs and market losses. In addition, this improved method for modeling oil-price volatility enables experts and market analysts to empirically test new approaches for mitigating market volatility. It also provides a roadmap for improving the predictability and accuracy of energy and crude models.
Cetylpyridinium-chloride (CPC) and Miramistin (MST) compared to established antiseptics under protein challenge in-vitro - evaluating alternative agents for wound cleansing
Authors: Rembe Julian-Dario , Thompson Vivian-Denise , Hauer Nina , Stuermer Ewa Klara Klara
Published: April 2019

Background: Due to rising numbers microbial resistance to established antibiotics and first described tolerance developments for local wound antimicrobials a continuous need for alternative antimicrobial agents exists. Due to complex conditions in the microenvironment of especially chronic wounds, such as high protein levels, novel antimicrobials need to meet advanced requirements.
Aim: Compare the antimicrobial efficacy of Cetylpiridinium-chloride (CPC) and miramistin (MST) to established antimicrobials under protein-challenge in-vitro.
Methods: Antimicrobial activity of octenidin-dihydrochloride, povidon-iodine, polyhexamethylene-biguanide hydrochloride, chlorhexidine, cetylpiridinium-chloride and Miramistin after 0.5, 1, 3, 5 and 10 min of exposure against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, E. coli, E. faecium and C. albicans was tested, using a quantitative suspension method with either 0.3% or 3% bovine albumin challenge, based on DIN EN 13727 (‘Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Quantitative suspension test for the evaluation of bactericidal activity in the medical area - Test method and requirements (phase 2, step 1)’).
Results: CPC and MST demonstrated no inferiority to the established agents in-vitro. Especially CPC showed equal reduction rates as octenidin and povidon-iodine and achieved significantly higher reduction rates within shorter exposure times than polyhexanide and chlorhexidine (p ≤ 0.01) for S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, E. faecium and C. albicans. Both agents demonstrated no significant loss of efficacy under high protein-challenge (3% albumin).
Conclusion: In terms of antimicrobial activity cetylpyridinium-chloride and miramistin proved to be at least equally effective as established agents. No protein error was detected in the tested concentrations. More complex in-vitro assays and comprehensive in-vivo and clinical studies will be needed to determine their clinical value.

Migration of International Medical Graduates: Implications for the Brain-Drain
Authors: Emeka O.C. Nwagwu
Published: April 2019

Studies indicate that about 23 percent to 28 percent of the physicians working and residing in the United States,
Canada, Australia, the UK and New Zealand were born and trained in the low-income countries, areas suffering from
critical shortages of physicians and other health workers. In the US alone, the preponderance of the foreign physicians
hails from South Africa, Philippines, India, Pakistan, and Nigeria. From Africa alone where the burden of disease,
poverty, deprivation and death are greatest, around 23,000 qualified physicians emigrate annually. From the perspectives
of the low-income countries, significant amounts of resources are, by necessity, committed into turning their nationals into
vital intellectual capital for their own desperately needed health needs and crumbling healthcare systems. Thus, the
migration of these physicians to other nations to help strengthen their already stable health care systems is not only
ethically deplorable but poses moral hazards for both the physicians and the high-income countries. That is, high-income
countries such as the United States, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand are draining the scarce recourses of the
low-income countries through the loss of intellectual capital, a phenomenon that socio-economic and developmental
experts have dubbed “the brain drain”.

Published: April 2019

The development of resistance in bacteria against commonly used antibiotics/drugs is of considerable medical
significance. Aim of this study was to determine the microbial load of un-pasteurized packed fruit juices sold in Lahore
city and to determine antibacterial activity of five different honey samples against isolated bacteria. Unpasteurized fruit
juice samples (n=60) were collected from street vendors. All the samples were subjected to Total viable count (TVC),
Staphylococcal count (SC) and Coliform count (CC). One hundred and ten strains of bacteria were isolated from various
fruit juices and identified on the basis of cultural characters, morphology and biochemical characters. Mean TVCs, SCs
and CCs of juices (6.80±1.91, 5.45±1.06 and 3.25±1.25 log10 CFU/ml respectively) were non-significant with standard
permissible limits (p<0.05). Among all the fruit juices, 66.66% of samples had TVC more than 4 log10 CFU/ml, 51.66%
of samples had SC more than 3 log10 CFU/ml and 46.66% of samples had CC more than 2 log10 CFU/ml. Among the
bacillus isolates purified, were Bacillus alvei, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus polymyxa, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus
aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli and Enterobecter. All five different types of honey samples used
in this study showed antibacterial activity against B. alvei, B. polymyxa, B. subtilis and S. aureus and no activity against P.
aeruginosa, K. pneumonia, Enterobecter and E. coli. It is concluded that microbial load in unpasteurized fruit juices is
significantly higher than standard permissible limits which insinuates its possible role in spoilage and food borne illnesses.
Periodic monitoring of packed fruit juices should be carried out to make them safe for consumption. Honey can be used as
an alternative for treatment of various infections, especially those caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Authors: Kushkevych Ivan , Bolis Marco , Bartos Milan
Published: April 2019

The objective of this study was to design a model of dissimilatory sulfate reduction process using the Verhulst function, with a particular focus on the kinetics of bacterial growth, sulfate and lactate consumption, and accumulation of hydrogen sulfide and acetate. The effect of the initial density (0.12±0.011, 0.25±0.024, 0.5±0.048 and 1.0±0.096 mg cells/ml of medium) of the sulfate-reducing bacteriaDesulfovibrio pigerVib-7 on the growth and dissimilatory sulfate reduction was studied. The exponential growth phase of theD. pigerVib-7 was observed for 72 hours of cultivation at the (0.12 and 0.25 mg/ml) initial concentration of bacterial cells. Sulfate and lactate were consumed incompletely during this time. The increase in the initial concentration of cells to 0.5 and 1 mg/ml led to a shortening of the exponential bacterial growth phase and a shift to the stationary phase of the growth. In the case of 0.5 mg/ml seeding, the stationary growth phase was observed in the 36thhour of cultivation. The increase in the initial concentration of cells to 1 mg/ml led to the beginning of the stationary growth phase in 24th hours of cultivation. Under these conditions, sulfate and lactate were consumed completely in the 48th hour of cultivation. The kinetic analysis of the curves of bacterial growth and the process of dissimilatory sulfate reduction byD. pigerVib-7 was carried out.

locations in the opposite side of the body. Acute appendicitis,
intussusception, duodenal atresia, esophageal atresia, and occasionally
hydrocolpos are frequently encountered in pediatric surgeons in clinical
practice. As a
result; the surgeon can easily apply current treatment procedures in surgical
conditions complicated with SIT as long as the surgeon is aware of the
anatomical and spatial state. Complicated diseases with SIT should be kept in

Authors: Rasin Fadhil A. , Abbas Laith K. , Kadhim Mohammed J.
Published: April 2019

This study involves adding nano materials and interaction with cement mortar behavior for several mortar samples under variable curing time with constant water to cement ratio (W/C = 0.5). The effects of adding nano materials on the microstructure of cement mortar were studied by (Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray (for samples at different curing time 28 and 91 days. Small ratio replacements of nano particles (SiO2 or Al2O3) were added to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) type (I). The percentage of nano materials additives replacement by weight of ordinary Portland cement includes (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5%) for both types of nano materials with constant (W/C) ratio, also the amount of the fine aggregate used was three times the amount of cement. The results showed that, the mortar consist of both nano materials had better microstructure than mortar without nano materials in all test. Best enhancements in properties and microstructure for mortars with nano silica were achieved with (3%) additives while were achieved with nano alumina at (2%) additives.
Concepciones de pedagogía y medicina en la identidad profesional docente
Authors: Vives Varela Tania , Hamui Sutton Alicia
Published: April 2019

Introducción: Cada profesor de acuerdo a su percepción y apreciación interioriza los elementos de la estructura social de la institución educativa a la que pertenece, la cual moldea el conjunto de modos de ver, sentir y actuar para construir su identidad profesional docente.

Objetivo: Indagar las concepciones de pedagogía y medicina en la construcción de la identidad profesional de los docentes de la Facultad de Medicina (FM) de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

Método: Estudio cualitativo, con una visión de carácter fenoménico y procesual del modo en que los docentes construyeron su visión de la realidad social y de su propia identidad. Se utilizó la técnica de entrevista semiestructurada con base en la teoría fundamentada modificada.

Resultados: En la práctica docente de los profesores de la FM confluyeron dos visiones de la pedagogía (la centrada en el profesor y la centrada en el estudiante) y dos visiones de la medicina (una enfocada en la ciencia y la otra en la ciencia y el arte). En los docentes del área biomédica coincidió la concepción pedagógica centrada en el profesor con la idea de la medicina como ciencia. La FM ofreció dos versiones de la práctica docente en un contexto complejo y no unificado. Esto dificultó la interacción entre los docentes por sus distintas concepciones que a su vez influyó en la construcción de la identidad profesional docente.

Conclusiones: Se recomendó que la FM establezca mecanismos para una comunicación efectiva y estrecha entre los profesores a través de actividades y proyectos conjuntos e interdisciplinarios, con la finalidad de que las dos concepciones se enriquezcan y confluyan para fortalecer la construcción de una identidad profesional docente que beneficie la práctica educativa de la institución.
La Exclusión del Colonialismo y del Capitalismo ha Impedido la Integración de América Latina e Incide en el Fin del Relato Emancipatorio y el de su Identidad
Authors: Casillas Herrera Pablo
Published: April 2019

Poderosos actores no estatales están obteniendo un control sobre las vidas y bienestar de vastas poblaciones, sea el control de la salud, de la tierra, el agua potable, las semillas, los bosques o la calidad del medio ambiente. El Estado moderno liberal, el constitucional, que ha prevalecido está siendo reemplazado por obligaciones contractuales privatizadas y despolitizadas. Los acuerdos transatlanticos, los asiaticos y los rusos tienen esa direccionalidad. En las condiciones del nuevo gobierno indirecto, más que regular el conflicto social entre los ciudadanos, el pensamiento de la razón moderna de los abismos está llamado a suprimir el conflicto social y a ratificar el Estado de excepcion, sin ley. Bajo esta dirección la exclusión del colonialismo y del capitalismo neoliberal seguirán impidiendo la integración de América Latina y pretende dominar, controlar y sumprimir la única literatura de los saberes populares e indígenas, el relato emancipatorio, el de su identidad en suma, el pensamiento de los abismos moderno, el cual, ha sido llamado a ordenar la relación entre los ciudadanos, y entre ellos y el Estado, es ahora, en los dominios sociales con mayor presión de la lógica de apropiación/violencia, llamado a lidiar con ciudadanos como no ciudadanos, y con no ciudadanos como peligrosos salvajes naturales, como en colonialidad.

Published: April 2019

Indonesia adalah salah satu negara produsen dan eksportir minyak kelapa sawit terbesar di dunia. Adanya kebijakan hilirisasi sawit menyebabkan Indonesia lebih banyak mengekspor produk turunan dalam bentuk Refined Palm Oil (RPO) dibandingkan Crude Palm Oil (CPO). Indonesia juga menghadapi kompetisi dengan Malaysia sebagai eksportir RPO di beberapa negara importir seperti China, India, Rusia dan Amerika Serikat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kompetisi antara Indonesia dan Malaysia di beberapa pasar negara importir RPO. Model yang digunakan adalah Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menunjukkan harga RPO Indonesia lebih elastis di pasar India dan Amerika Serikat, sedangkan harga RPO Malaysia lebih elastis di pasar Rusia. Meskipun RPO asal Indonesia dan Malaysia saling bersubstitusi, tetapi posisi Indonesia lebih diuntungkan dibandingkan Malaysia jika negara-negara importir tersebut meningkatkan pengeluaran untuk impor RPO karena akan meningkatkan share impor dari Indonesia.
