Authors: Зуйков С. А.
Published: July 2019

Цель: сравнить изменение метаболизма пуриновых нуклеотидов при старении и опухолевой трансформации в плазме крови и гомогенатах тканей.Материалы и методы: материалом была плазма крови, а также опухолевые и смежные ткани желудка 18 больных раком желудка (РЖ) с I–II стадией заболевания, в возрасте 40–60 лет. Изучили активность ключевых ферментов катаболизма пуриновых нуклеотидов — аденозиндезаминазу (АДА) и ксантиноксидазу (КО) — которые являются признанным фактором роста и стимуляторами свободнорадикального (СР) окисления. В качестве продуктов, показателей интенсивности СР процессов исследовано суммарное содержание нитратов/нитритов (NOx) и уровень 2,4-динитрофенилгидразонов. Методом исследования всех показателей была спектрофотометрия.Результаты: в плазме крови у здоровых людей при старении установлено увеличение ферментативных активностей АДА и КО, а также содержание 2,4-динитрофенилгидразонов — показателей окислительной модификации белков. Аналогичные результаты изменения изучаемых показателей обнаружены и при опухолевой трансформации. Так же установлено, что при РЖ происходит интенсификация пуринового обмена в гомогенатах опухолевых тканей с последующим формированием окислительного стресса (ОС). Выявлены корреляционные связи между ферментами пуринового обмена в плазме крови и в опухолевых тканях. Для АДА установлены тесные взаимосвязи с 2,4-динитрофенилгидразонами.Выводы: полученные данные свидетельствуют об усилении катаболизма пуринов как при старении, так и при опухолевой трансформации, что может быть использовано в качестве прогностических факторов риска РЖ.

Comparative Evaluation Of Antibacterial And Layer Removal Efficacy Of Two Different Herbal Irrigants – An In Vitro Study
Authors: Arvind Kumar  , A Sheerin Sarthaj  , S Maria Antony
Published: July 2019

INTRODUCTION: Irrigation during root canal therapy is especially needed for teeth with complex internal anatomy. Biomechanical preparation of root canal produces "smear layer" which gets embedded with debris and microorganisms. The major side effects of these widely used chemical irrigants such as Sodium hypochlorite for antibacterial efficacy and EDTA for smear layer removal has led to the search of a more biocompatible irrigant.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Azadirachta indica(neem) and Ocimum sanctum(tulsi) extract were used in this study as herbal irrigants to evaluate the above mentioned properties by the q PCR method and SEM analysis.RESULTS: In antimicrobial efficacy, the Mean value of NaOcl showed higher antimicrobial efficacy followed by Neem leaf extract and the lower antimicrobial efficacy was recorded with Tulsi extract. Similarly, the mean smear layer removal by different irrigants at different root levels, EDTA showed the maximum smear layer removal, followed by Neem leaf extract and Tulsi extract showed the least smear layer removal. Hence Tulsi has poor smear layer removal efficacy and comparable antimicrobial efficacy when compared with Neem extractSTATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The collected data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance to compare the mean of the groups. The post- hoc test (Tukey) was performed to find the interrelationship between different groups for significant difference (P < 0.05; confidence interval 95%).CONCLUSION: From this study, these two herbal irrigants are proved to be safe and effective. It can be concluded that neem leaf extract has a significant antimicrobial efficacy against E. faecalis and significant smear layer removal efficacy compared to 17% EDTA.

Diatoms (Bacillariophyta) as bio-indicators
Authors: Ebtesam Kadem Khudher  , Ahmed Sabah AL-Jasimee
Published: July 2019

Bio-indicators such as diatoms from algae considered to be key factors in ecological studies as an assessment of freshwater ecology. Algae are very sensitive to environmental changes and reflect the spatiotemporal changes on exists or biomass of diatoms in waters. Diatoms have been used not just for the assessment of water quality, but also can be used as an organic pollution indicator in the freshwater ecosystems, such as algal water bloom. The reason for using diatoms as bio-indicators was for several characteristics such as rapid growth, and represent high biomass in the freshwater ecosystem. Also, diatoms have high biodiversity among the other aquatic biota and energy flow and cycling. Compared with the other aquatic biota, diatoms reflect ecological disturbance due to high sensitivity to light, temperature, water flow, pH, and oxygen content. Additionally, diatoms are used as an assessment of eutrophication, organic pollution and climate change.
Praxis, the Body, and Solidarity: Some Reflections on the Marxist Readings of Phenomenology in Poland (1945–1989)
Authors: Płotka Witold
Published: July 2019

The article presents main tendencies in the reception of phenomenology in the light of Marxism in Poland in the post-war period. As it is argued, although phenomenology was marginalized and even refused from the Marxist position, a dialogue between both traditions established interesting developments, especially with regard to the problem of the body, and constitution of solidarity as a social phenomenon. The main thesis of the study is that the confrontation with Marxism enabled phenomenologists a problematization of the phenomenon of work as a specific way of being. The article is divided into three parts. First, the author defines main ideological points of the Marxist critique of phenomenology, i.e., a critique of phenomenology as a bourgeois philosophy that cannot offer anything to the communist society since it abandons the sphere of praxis. Next, positive developments of the phenomenological method are to be reconstructed; moreover, the author analyzes Szewczyk’s original reading of Husserl, and his analysis of experience of the body. Finally, the article points out a Marxist background of some thoughts of Wojtyła and Tischner, including Tischner’s ethics of solidarity, and Wojtyła’s emphasis on human dignity.

Authors: ACHOJA Felix , GBIGBI Theophilus Miebi
Published: July 2019

The degree of price variation of fresh tomato
over space and time; and its effect on consumer welfare is not yet known in
Nigeria. This study therefore examined the effect of spatial and seasonal price
variations of fresh tomato marketing on the welfare of consumers in Nigeria.
Primary data were collected with structured questionnaire from 240 randomly
selected tomato marketers. The data were analyzed using descriptive and
inferential statistical tools. Finding showed that the mean price of fresh
tomato per basket was N16,350 for minor
markets and N12,450 for major markets.
Test of hypothesis indicated a significant (p<0.05) spatial price variation.
Further result indicated a significant (p<0.05) inter-seasonal price
variation with a mean of N18,000/basket
for off season and N6,400/basket for
peak season. The result revealed that seasonal price variation (64.4%) is
higher than spatial price variation (23.9%) in Nigeria. Regression result and
factor analysis indicated that duration of product in store before sale,
bargaining power of seller, patronage, packaging charges and transportation
cost were the most significant determinant of fresh tomato price variation
which affect the welfare of tomato consumers. Price variation exerts negative
and significant (p<0.05) effect on consumers welfare through higher
expenditure on consumption and low level of patronage (demand). We recommended
that government should improve the rural road network to reduce transportation
cost and spoilage of fresh tomato in Nigeria.

Published: July 2019

Coal mining activities could potentially interfere with the environment. One of the environmental disturbances in coal mining activities is theformation of acid mine drainage (AMD). AMD management can be done passively through the construction of swamp forest. The constructed swampforest system uses organic material in the form of cow manure which serves as a growing plants’ medium. Phytoremediation is an attempt to usevplant species in the accumulation of heavy metals. This study was aimed to know the AMD management system passively and identify the diversity ofplants in artificial swamp forests. Purposive sampling method with a sample size of 2 x 2m in 10 plots/compartments was used to identify the plantdiversity in constructed swamp forest. The observation was made both before and after AMD flowed. Constructed swamp forest consist of 6compartments (2 sediment pond compartments and 4 swamp compartments). The results of the vegetation analysis found that before the AMD flowed,21 species are still capable growing naturally in constructed swamp forest, however, it became 15 after the AMD flowed. Cyperus iria, Fimbristylisgriffithii, Scirpus juncoides, Ludwigia hyssopifolia, Cyperus platystylis and Monochoria vaginalis are six dominant species that can be used asphytoremediation agent in constructed swamp forest.Keywords: Acid Mine Drainage, constructed swamp forest, phytoremediation

Published: July 2019

In Afghanistan university context, English Departments focusing on preparing or educating EFL teachers’ candidates are of two types; the Education Colleges’ English Departments (ECED) and the Literature Colleges’ English Departments (LCED). The purpose of this research is to investigate the extent to which the two EFL teacher preparation institutions in Afghanistan universities educate efficacious EFL teachers so as to teach English at public schools. It also aims at comparing the teaching efficacy level of male and female EFL teachers as the graduates of the two different English Departments (ECED and LCED) with different curricula in order to find out how these Departments educate public school EFL teachers. The study applied a survey questionnaire to obtain the data from 105 graduates of two English Departments as novice EFL teachers recruited by 45 public schools in a province in Afghanistan. The findings showed that both Departments educate highly efficacious EFL teachers. However, the level of efficacy between the two Departments is significantly different. The study also has some implications to schools of EFL teachers to comprehend their level of professional efficacy and certain implications to English Departments, Universities, and Afghanistan Ministry of Higher Education to understand how different English Departments’ graduates meet the public schools’ EFL requirements.

Authors: Iftanti Erna
Published: July 2019

Learning as a systematic change in knowledge, insights, behavior, and motivation occurs either in-classroom or out-of-classroom context. However, for bicultural class consisting of Indonesian and Thai EFL students in Indonesian context, to achieve such goals of learning is challenging, since the EFL students staying in such a class comprising those from two different cultural backgrounds faced some underlying learning problems. Therefore, to establish learning autonomy is significant. This article is then aimed at exploring inter and intra-culture-based group discussion which proved to be able to promote their learning autonomy. This research conducted qualitatively through observation, interview, and questionnaire revealed that the learning problems found in a bicultural class i.e. learning readiness, learning style, learning habits, and motivation can be solved by building and implementing both inter and intra-culture-based group discussion conducted in and outside classroom settings. This finding can be considered as important insight to create EFL students’ learning autonomy which contributes to prevent them from encountering learning problems in a bicultural class so that the EFL learning goals can be better achieved.

Bbc.com noted that in the last 40 years in Indonesia, there were 4 major cases including Lia Eden, Arswendo, HB Jassin and Teguh Santosa. Melissa Crouch noted that at least 120 people were tried for harassing religion. However, I underline that the issue of blasphemy arises recently because it began with a case of Ahok in Kepulauan Seribu. After that case, the case of blasphemy emerged like a domino effect, leaving questions in my mind, â€˜why can it be like this?'. In this study, I will try to examine how the contestation of cases of blasphemy in Indonesia is so intertwined. By using descriptive and interpretative analysis methods, I found that the polemic of the emergence of blasphemy cases in Indonesia is motivated by two things; the interpretation of certain authorities who consider that in the Koran there is a set of positive punishment for blasphemy cases. Furthermore, the Blasphemy Law in Indonesia is very biased in determining certain individuals / groups as religious opponents.

Authors: Abu-Lebdeh Taher , Virgil Petrescu Relly Victoria , Al-Nasra Moayyad , Tiberiu Petrescu Florian Ion
Published: July 2019

This study investigated the influence of adding nano silica (SiO2) on the cement hydration process, particularly on the formation of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) at different stages of hydration. The study investigated the effect of adding nano-silica on the mechanical properties of the hardened cement corresponding to the formation of C-S-H during the hydration process of a cement paste. Specimens made up of four different percentage of nano silica (0%, 1%, 3% and 5%) were tested at different stages of hydration ranging from 3 to 56 days. The effect of nano-silica on the compressive strength, stressstrain, and elastic modulus of nano-cement was examined using MTS and Forney testing machines. The signature phase and formation of C-S-H and calcium hydroxide (CH) were monitored using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The study also investigated the effect of curing method (vacuum and water curing) on the strength development. The experimental results show that the formation of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) increases significantly during the early stages of hydration which correspond to the drastic increase in compressive strength. The formation of C-S-H continues to increase throughout the 56 days but at a moderate rate. The results reveal that 1% of nano silica by volume of cement is the optimum ratio that yields the maximum strength. The results also indicated that the strength of the traditional water cured specimens were higher than that of vacuum cured specimens.

Authors: Yacine Khelili , Allali Abderrazak , Bouakkaz Rafik
Published: July 2019

This paper presents a numerical solution for low Reynolds number, unsteady flow around, and heat transfer from a stationary circular cylinder placed in a uniform flow. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible and of constant property. Twodimensional and unsteady mass continuity, momentum, and energy equations have been discretized using finite volume method. A SIMPLE algorithm has been applied for solving the pressure linked equations. The range of Reynolds numbers was investigated which varied from 50 to 300 with volume fraction on Cu nanoparticles varying from 1 to 5 % at the constant wall temperature. The results of the heat transfer characteristics of nanofluid flow over a circular cylinder showed marked improvement comparing with the base fluid. It is found that the vorticity, pressure coefficient, and recirculation length are increased by the addition of nanoparticles into base fluid. Moreover, the local and mean Nusselt numbers are enhanced due to adding nanoparticles into base fluid.

Hati nurani adalah dorongan dari dalam lubuk hati manusia yang ingin mengarahkan manusia pada tindakan yang seharusnya dilakukan dan menjauhi apa yang seharusnya di jauhi. Apa yang kita perbuat semua mengarah pada hati nurani. Tindakan kita mencerminkan seperti apa hati nurani kita. Ada berbagai macam hati nurani. Hati nurani sesat misalnya. Dengan akal budi yang sudah kita miliki, bisa saja kita melakukan hal yang diluar nalar. Apalagi yang bersangkutan dengan kehidupan seseorang. Dengan tujuan masuk surga semua orang mungkin akan melakukannya. Tetapi tentu kembali lagi, kita harus melakukan apa yang baik dan masuk dinalar manusia. Dekatkan dirimu pada Tuhan untuk hati nurani yang benar-benar suara Tuhan.

Experimental design is fundamental to research, but formal methods to identify good designs are lacking. Advances in Bayesian statistics and machine learning offer algorithm-based ways to identify good experimental designs. Adaptive design optimization (ADO; Cavagnaro, Myung, Pitt, & Kujala, 2010; Myung, Cavagnaro, & Pitt, 2013) is one such method. It works by maximizing the informativeness and efficiency of data collection, thereby improving inference. ADO is a general-purpose method for conducting adaptive experiments on the fly and can lead to rapid accumulation of information about the phenomenon of interest with the fewest number of trials. The nontrivial technical skills required to use ADO have been a barrier to its wider adoption. To increase its accessibility to experimentalists at large, we introduce an open-source Python package, ADOpy, that implements ADO for optimizing experimental design. The package, available on GitHub, is written using high-level modular-based commands such that users do not have to understand the computational details of the ADO algorithm. In this paper, we first provide a tutorial introduction to ADOpy and ADO itself, and then illustrate its use in three walk-through examples: psychometric function estimation, delay discounting, and risky choice. Simulation data are also provided to demonstrate how ADO designs compare with other designs (random, staircase).
The time-course of context modulation for underspecified meaning: an eye-movement study

Sentences such as “The pop singer began the album” are ambiguous between an agentive reading (The pop singer began recording/listening to/etc. the album) and a constitutive reading (The pop singer’s song was contained in the first track of the album). The ambiguity is rooted in the meaning specification of a semantic class, the “aspectual verb class.” This semantic verb class demands that its complement be construed as a structured individual along a dimension (e.g., spatial, informational, eventive...). In the case of “begin the album,” the complement “the album” can be construed as a set of singing eventualities (a structured individual construed along the eventive dimension) or as a set of songs (a structured individual construed along the informational dimension). Previous work has shown that real-time sentence composition profile of these verbs is consistent with the implementation of two processes (a) exhaustive lexical-function retrieval and (b) construal of multiple dimension-specific structured individuals, leading to agentive and constitutive readings. Which dimension-specific structured individual is chosen ultimately depends on which dimension biases are present in the context. Understanding the real-time behavior of aspectual-verb composition under different contexts (agentive vs. constitutive) provides a glimpse into the time-course of context modulation during real-time sentence comprehension. Results from an eye-tracking study comparing agentive vs. constitutive readings of these sentences show not only the standard effect of the aspectual-verb composition, previously reported for the agentive readings, but also a comparable processing profile for the constitutive readings, a novel finding supporting the unified linguistic analysis and corresponding processing implementation of the two readings. Results also show that regardless of reading, the aspectual-verb composition effect is observable even after the complement has been retrieved, and interpretation has been disambiguated, thus indicating that the above two-step process is a nonnegotiable component of the interpretation of the verb+complement composition and therefore must take place before preceding context can serve as a sentence-external constraining force. Moreover, the sustained nature of the cost suggests that all possible dimension-specific structured individuals are being construed at least immediately after the complement has been retrieved, consistent with comprehenders’ intuitions. This suggests that although not directly relevant for the interpretation at issue those meaning construals are not incompatible with the complement’s conceptual representation, and therefore need not be “pruned.” Overall, the pattern observed suggests a model of comprehension whereby context is allowed to modulate sentence interpretation once the fundamental lexico-semantic compositional processes of the sentence have taken place.
Nature abhors a paywall: How open science can realize the potential of naturalistic stimuli

Naturalistic stimuli show significant potential to inform behavioral, cognitive, and clinical neuroscience. Nonetheless, this impact is still limited by the relative inaccessibility of both generated neuroimaging data as well as the supporting naturalistic stimuli. In this perspective, we highlight currently available naturalistic datasets and technical solutions such as DataLad that continue to advance our ability to share this data. We also review scientific and sociological challenges in selecting naturalistic stimuli for reproducible research. Overall, we encourage researchers to share their naturalistic datasets to the full extent possible under local copyright law.

The association between an action and its sensory consequence has been linked to our sense of agency (SoA). While ecological validity is crucial in investigating such a complex phenomenon, previous paradigms focusing on the cortical analysis of movement-related images used simplified experimental protocols. Here, we examined the influence of action-associated predictive processes on visual event-related potentials (ERPs) in a paradigm that models everyday actions more precisely, using a commercial gesture control device, ecological stimuli depicting a human hand and a behavioural training to reinforce the sense of control over action outcomes. We assessed whether a more natural setup would result in robust ERP modifications following self-initiated movements relative to passive viewing of the same images. We found no compelling evidence for amplitude modulation for the early occipital C1 and P1 components. Crucially, we observed strong action-associated amplitude enhancement for the posterior N1, an effect that was not present in our previous study that relied on conventional button-presses. We propose that the N1 effect in our ecologically more valid paradigm can either reflect stronger attentional amplification of domain-specific visual processes following self-initiated actions, or indicate that sensory predictions in the visual N1 latency range manifest in larger (rather than reduced) ERPs. Overall, our novel approach utilizing a gesture-control device can be a potent tool for investigating the behavioural and neural manifestations of SoA in the visual modality.
Exercise slightly above the maximal lactate steady state reduces self-efficacy and increases negative affect
Authors: Wrightson James Graeme , Passfield Louis
Published: July 2019

Objectives: To examine the effect of exercise at and slightly above the maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) on self-efficacy, affect and effort, and their associations with exercise tolerance.Design: Counterbalanced, repeated measures designMethod: Participants performed two 30‐minute constant‐load cycling exercise at a power output equal to that at MLSS and 10 W above MLSS, immediately followed by a time‐to‐exhaustion test at 80% of their peak power output. Self-efficacy, affect and effort were measured before and after 30 minutes of cycling at and above MLSS.Results: Negative affect and effort higher, and self-efficacy and time to exhaustion were reduced, following cycling at MLSS + 10 W compared to cycling at the MLSS. Following exercise at the MLSS self-efficacy, affect and effort were all associated with subsequent time-to exhaustion. However, following exercise at MLSS + 10 W, only affect was associated with time-to exhaustion. Conclusions: Self efficacy, affect and effort are profoundly affected by physiological state, highlighting the influence of somatic states on perceptions and emotions during exercise. The affective response to exercise appears to be associated with exercise tolerance, indicating that the emotional, as well as physiological, responses should be considered when prescribing exercise training.

Rice is an annual plant belongs to family Poaceae. It is the major staple food crop of Nepal and can be grown from plain to mountainous regions of Nepal. The crop varieties differ from each other in terms of production cost, gross return and gross margin. The objective of this study was to analyze benefit cost ratio for production of different rice varieties. The study was carried out in Kapilvastu district of Nepal in 2018. A sample size of 120 respondents were selected randomly. Four different rice varieties: Gorakhnath, Radha-4, Ramdhan, and Sawa were used for the study. The primary data were collected through household survey using interview schedule. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences and Microsoft Excel. The average cost of production was amounted to NRs. 77,100/ha for all four rice varieties. Sawa variety had the highest gross return (NRs. 1,01,212.5/ha). The benefit cost ratio was observed highest for Sawa (1.312) and lowest for Radha-4 variety (1.005). Sawa is the most economic rice variety in terms of gross and net production in the study area. The findings will help farmers to choose and cultivate rice variety with greater profitability. It is recommended that concerned authorities should give emphasis on subsidies, farmers training and ensuring floor price of rice.
