Informasi seringkali disajikan dalam bentuk kombinasi antara gambar dan teks. Seseorang memiliki cara tersendiri untuk memproses infomasi yang disajikan, apakah akan mengolah informasi dalam bentuk gambar atau bentuk teks terlebih dahulu. Saat informasi yang disajikan semua berupa teks saja maka seseorang berusaha memproses informasi tersebut secara verbalizer semaksimal mungkin meskipun tidak sesuai dengan preferensi yang dimilikinya, semisal seorang visualizer akan berusaha untuk mengarahkan pemahamannya pada perkiraan terbaik dalam bentuk teks

Problem Based Learning merupakan salah satu model yang disarankan dalam pembelajaran kurikulum 2013 untuk dapat membantu siswa untuk berpikir tingkat tinggi menurut taksonomi Bloom. Anderson dan Krathwohl, mengatakan bahwa perbedaan antara Problem Based Learning dengan model pembelajaran lainnya terletak pada hasil pembelajaran. Model pembelajaran yang lainnya seperti Discovery Learning merupakan pembelajaran yang tidak disampaikan secara utuh tapi siswa diminta untuk mencari informasi yang kurang lengkap tanpa memberikan solusi atas suatu permasalahan tetapi Problem Based Learning diakhir pembelajaran harus memberikan solusi dalam permasalahan yang di sajikan dalam proses pembelajaran.

Di era sekarang ini media sosial yitu teknologi snggat mempengaruhi moral seseorang. Jika teknologi itu di gunakan dengan baik akan menimbulkan efek yang baik pula, tetapi jika salah digunakan akan berakibat fatal. Banyak sekarang bisnis-bisnis online yang terus berkembang pesat, tetapi ada pula bisnis-bisnis nakal yang mungkin jarang terekspos tetapi juga ikut pesat berkembang. Contohnya saja prostitusi online, menawarkan diri atau di tawarkan oleh orang lain melalui media sosual seperti WA,FB dann lain-lain. Prostitusi online sendiri ternyata telah lama berkembang di Indonesia, tanpaa kita sadari akhir-akhir ini mulai terungkap jaringa-jaringan yang berada di dalamnya. Itu semua terjadi karena orang itu mungkin berilmu tetapi tidak bermoral. Mengpa disebut tidak bermoral karena dia memiliki pikiran yang keliru dan hati nurani yang sesat karena yang baik dianggap buruk dan yang buruk di anggap baik.

A Multi-faceted Mess: A Systematic Review of Statistical Power Analysis in Psychology Journal Articles
Authors: Beribisky Nataly , Alter Udi , Cribbie Rob
Published: June 2019

Many bodies recommend that a sample planning procedure, such as traditional NHST a priori power analysis, is conducted during the planning stages of a study. Power analysis allows the researcher to estimate how many participants are required in order to detect a minimally meaningful effect size at a specific level of power and Type I error rate. However, there are several drawbacks to the procedure that render it “a mess.” Specifically, the identification of the minimally meaningful effect size is often difficult but unavoidable for conducting the procedure properly, the procedure is not precision oriented, and does not guide the researcher to collect as many participants as feasibly possible. In this study, we explore how these three theoretical issues are reflected in applied psychological research in order to better understand whether these issues are concerns in practice. To investigate how power analysis is currently used, this study reviewed the reporting of 443 power analyses in high impact psychology journals in 2016 and 2017. It was found that researchers rarely use the minimally meaningful effect size as a rationale for the chosen effect in a power analysis. Further, precision-based approaches and collecting the maximum sample size feasible are almost never used in tandem with power analyses. In light of these findings, we offer that researchers should focus on tools beyond traditional power analysis when sample planning, such as collecting the maximum sample size feasible.
Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging to examine brain structural plasticity and language experience
Authors: Luk Gigi , Pliatsikas Christos
Published: June 2019

Recent advances in neuroimaging methods have led to a renewed interest in the brain correlates of language processing. Most intriguing is how experiences of language use relates to variation in brain structure and how brain structure predicts language acquisition. These two lines of inquiry have important implications on considering language use as an experience-dependent mechanism that induces brain plasticity. This paper focuses on the structural connectivity of the brain, as delivered by white matter, i.e. the collections of the axons of the brain neurons that provide connectivity between brain regions. Tract-Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS), a method commonly used in the field, will be presented in detail. Readers will be introduced to procedures for the extraction of indices of variation in WM structure such as fractional anisotropy. Furthermore, the role of individual differences in WM and changes in WM pertaining to bilingual experience and language processing will be used as examples to illustrate the applicability of this method.
Promoting the Benefits and clarifying misconceptions about Preregistration, Preprints, and Open Science for Cognitive Science of Religion.
Authors: Kavanagh Christopher Michael , Kapitány Rohan
Published: June 2019

Adopting newly proposed ‘open science’ reforms to improve transparency and increase rigor is hard and can make us, as researchers, feel vulnerable. Nonetheless, these reforms are vital to improving the overall quality and confidence of our collective research. We have, through our own experiences, found that preregistration and detailed analysis plans can help to identify, and potentially avoid, errors. Prepublication has similarly helped us to collaborate and receive feedback on manuscripts, particularly during prolonged periods of peer-review. The Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR) field is constituted by a diversity of scholars and disciplines, and thus faces somewhat unique challenges in its efforts to establish common practices, standards, and research terminology. In this paper we offer an introduction to the open science reforms of preregistration and prepublication specifically orientated towards the CSR field. We discuss common concerns around these practices, highlighting areas of misunderstanding while conceding and discussing genuine limitations. We conclude with voluntary, low-investment recommendations for best-practices with regards preregistration and preprints for the field of the Cognitive Science of Religion.
Systematic and Random Sources of Variability in Perceptual Decision-Making: Comment on Ratcliff, Voskuilen, and McKoon (2018)
Authors: Evans Nathan J. , Tillman Gabriel , Wagenmakers Eric-Jan
Published: June 2019

A key assumption of models of human cognition is that there is variability in information processing. Evidence accumulation models (EAMs) commonly assume two broad variabilities in information processing: within-trial variability, which is thought to reflect moment-to-moment fluctuations in perceptual processes, and between-trial variability, which is thought to reflect variability in slower-changing processes like attention, or systematic variability between the stimuli on different trials. Recently, Ratcliff, Voskuilen, and McKoon (2018) claimed to “provide direct evidence that external noise is, in fact, required to explain the data from five simple two-choice decision tasks” (p. 33), suggesting that at least some portion of the between-trial variability in information processing is due to “noise”. However, we argue that Ratcliff et al. (2018) failed to distinguish between two different potential sources of between-trial variability: random (i.e., “external noise”) and systematic (e.g., item effects). Contrary to the claims of Ratcliff et al. (2018), we show that “external noise” is not required to explain their findings, as the same trends of data can be produced when only item effects are present. Furthermore, we contend that the concept of “noise” within cognitive models merely serves as a convenience parameter for sources of variability that we know exist, but are unable to account for. Therefore, we question the usefulness of experiments aimed at testing the general existence of “random” variability, and instead suggest that future research should attempt to replace the random variability terms within cognitive models with actual explanations of the process.
Political differences in free will belief are driven by differences in moralization
Authors: Everett Jim Albert Charlton , Clark Cory J , Meindl Peter , Luguri Jamie B , Earp Brian D. , Graham Jesse , Ditto Peter , Shariff Azim
Published: June 2019

In fourteen studies, we tested whether political conservatives’ stronger free will beliefs were linked to stronger and broader tendencies to moralize, and thus a greater motivation to assign blame. In Study 1 (meta-analysis of five studies, n=308,499) we show that conservatives have stronger tendencies to moralize than liberals, even for moralization measures containing zero political content (e.g., moral badness ratings of faces and personality traits). In Study 2, we show that conservatives report higher free will belief, and this is statistically mediated by the belief that people should be held morally responsible for their bad behavior (n=14,707). In Study 3, we show that political conservatism is associated with higher attributions of free will for specific events. Turning to experimental manipulations to test our hypotheses, we show that: when conservatives and liberals see an action as equally wrong there is no difference in free will attributions (Study 4); when conservatives see an action as less wrong than liberals, they attribute less free will (Study 5); and specific perceptions of wrongness account for the relation between political ideology and free will attributions (Study 6a and 6b). Finally, we show that political conservatives and liberals even differentially attribute free will for the same action depending on who performed it (Studies 7a-d). These results are consistent with our theory that political differences in free will belief are at least partly explicable by conservatives’ tendency to moralize, which strengthens motivation to justify blame with stronger belief in free will and personal accountability.
Scientific controversies and epistemological sensitization - Effects of an intervention on psychology students’ epistemological beliefs and argumentation skills
Authors: Klopp Eric , Stark Robin
Published: June 2019

The present study investigates the effects of an intervention presenting resolvable, scientific controversies and an epistemological sensitization measure on the changes in psychology students’ epistemological beliefs. Drawing on the notion that the presentation of resolvable scientific controversies induces epistemological doubt and the notion that inducing epistemological doubt is eased in the presence of an epistemological sensitization, we used an epistemological beliefs intervention consisting of five resolvable controversies that was applied in a sample consisting of psychology students. We hypothesized that the intervention will reduce absolutist and multiplicist epistemological beliefs will at the same increasing evaluatist beliefs. We also assumed that the epistemological sensitization would enhance the effect of the intervention. For a domain-specific questionnaire, the results indicated a reduction of absolutist epistemological beliefs regardless of the presence of the epistemological sensitization. Unexpectedly, there was backfire indicated by a rise of multiplicist beliefs. For a domain- and topic-specific questionnaire there was no significant reduction of absolutist and multiplicist beliefs but a significant increase in evaluatist beliefs when the epistemological sensitization was present. Finally, a measure assessing argumentation skills revealed an increase in argumentation skills only when the epistemological sensitization is present. Implications and limitations will be discussed.

The government in 2012 held a Non-Livable House (RTLH) program for the poor which aims to improve the condition of the house as a whole and partly so as to create a decent home.             In 2017, there were only 227 recipients of the RTLH Program in Pandeglang district (23.03%). This shows the inequality of program assistance. In fact, some regions did not get the program at all. Some are not right on target for the RTLH program. Another problem is due to the limited budget for the RTLH Program, while the number of people who need a lot.             Qualitative research was used in this study. There are 24 informants obtained by Purposive techniques. The focus of this research is how the Implementation of Non-Eligible Houses (RTLH) Program Policies in the villages of the District of Labuan in Pandeglang Regency using the theory of Charles O ’Jones which consists of three dimensions, namely: organization, interpretation and application.             Based on the results of the research and processing of the data, it can be concluded that the Implementation of the Policy for the Non-Eligible Houses (RTLH) Social Rehabilitation Guidelines for the poor in the Pandeglang District Social Service has not gone well. The successful implementation of the Non-Eligible Houses (RTLH) social rehabilitation policy for the poor in Pandeglang District Social Service has not been fully successful.

Published: June 2019

In March 2018, the Canadian Association for HIV Research (CAHR) and Canadian Foundation for Infectious Diseases (CFID) collaborated to conduct a workshop targeted to mid-career virology researchers. Key objectives of the workshop included 1) sharing knowledge and expertise cutting across various viral diseases, 2) developing collaborations as we anticipate the next wave of suppressive and curative treatment for HIV, HBV, CMV, and other viral diseases, and 3) providing insights, advice, and “food for thought” as participants advance to mid- and later phases of their research careers. This article reports on the key topics contemplated including scientific misinformation within the public realm, network building, interdisciplinary collaboration, mentorship, and communicating with decision makers. Given the focus on virology, the Canadian Society for Virology was invited to highlight their efforts to build a cohesive network that is impactful in facilitating viral research in Canada including advocating for appropriate levels of peer-reviewed research funding. Many key pearls of wisdom are contained within this document which are of value to all researchers aiming for success in a continually evolving, complex, and challenging Canadian research and academic environment.
Continuous cefazolin infusion versus cefazolin plus probenecid for the ambulatory treatment of uncomplicated cellulitis: A retrospective cohort study
Authors: Landry Daniel L , Eltonsy Sherif , Jalbert Luc P , Girouard Gabriel , Couture Jonathan , Bélanger Mathieu
Published: June 2019

Background: The preferred ambulatory IV therapy for cellulitis is often once-daily cefazolin combined with once-daily oral probenecid (C+P). However, due to a national probenecid drug shortage in 2011, our centre developed a replacement protocol for the administration of cefazolin continuous infusion (CCI) using elastomeric infusers. Our goal was to compare treatment efficacy, duration of IV therapy, and recurrence associated with CCI and C+P using retrospective data from our centre. Methods: We conducted a non-inferiority single-centre retrospective cohort study of emergency department medical records. Patients received either C+P (cefazolin 2 g IV once daily plus probenecid 1 g PO once daily) or CCI (cefazolin 2 g IV loading dose, followed by cefazolin 6 g IV via continuous infusion over 24 hours, via an elastomeric infuser). We compared treatment efficacy, duration of IV therapy, and recurrence rates. Results: A total of 203 patients were analyzed, with 107 included in the CCI arm and 96 in the C+P arm. Overall, CCI users and C+P users were comparable in their sociodemographic and clinical variables measured at admission. We observed increased odds of achieving successful treatment among the CCI group, however it did not reach statistical significance (odds ratio [OR] 2.25; 95% CI 0.84 to 6.07). Recurrence rates were similar between both groups (OR 1.91; 95% CI 0.32 to 11.31). The average duration of IV therapy was similar between groups ( p = 0.6). Conclusions: With results suggesting that CCI was non-inferior to C+P, and that both approaches required similar treatment durations, CCI could represent an acceptable alternative to C+P for the ambulatory IV treatment of cellulitis.
Measuring the impact of an HIV rotation on trainees’ knowledge and confidence level: The importance of inviting recent graduates
Authors: Leduc Jean-Michel , Fortin Claude , Rouleau Danielle , Martel-Laferrière Valérie
Published: June 2019

Background: The new Canadian Residency Accreditation Consortium (CanRAC) standards recommend surveying recently graduated trainees to target improvements in training programs. The goal of this study was to estimate the impact of a rotation in an HIV clinic on trainees’ related knowledge, confidence, and practice profile at the Université de Montréal. Methods: An electronic survey was sent to practising physicians who completed the rotation between 2006 and 2016. Participants were asked to rate their agreement and level of confidence toward HIV- and HCV-related topics using 5-point Likert scales (0 to 4). Descriptive statistics and mean comparisons were calculated. Results: Among invited participants, 27 of 45 (60%) completed the questionnaire. The majority of respondents were infectious diseases physicians (48%) or family physicians (37%) and had an outpatient caseload of <10 HIV patients/year (80%). For 37% of the respondents, the rotation had a large or very large impact on their career path. They considered that the rotation had increased their knowledge on the overall management of HIV (mean 3.2/4 [95% CI 2.9 to 3.4]), but less on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) (mean 1.5/4 [95% CI 1.1 to 2.0]) or HCV care (mean 1.9/4 [95% CI 1.4 to 2.3]). Participants felt less confident with genotyping interpretation (mean 2.6/4 [95% CI 2.2 to 2.9]) and PrEP (mean 2.4/4 [95% CI 2.0 to 2.8]). Conclusions: These results suggest that a rotation in an HIV clinic improves knowledge related to HIV care. Feedback from past graduates helped us identify gaps in knowledge or level of confidence in PrEP and HCV care, which will feed curriculum improvement.
Gonococcal meningitis: An unusual presentation of disseminated gonococcal infection
Authors: Agabawi Salem , Tran Vanessa , McEachern James , Walkty Andrew
Published: June 2019

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The rate of N. gonorrhoeae infections in Canada has increased from 2010 to 2015. Disseminated gonococcal infection typically results from bacteremic spread of N. gonorrhoeae from a preceding mucosal site of disease (e.g., urogenital). Common clinical manifestations of disseminated gonococcal infection include skin lesions, tenosynovitis, and septic arthritis. Bacterial meningitis as a manifestation of disseminated gonococcal infection has been rarely described. A case of bacterial meningitis due to N. gonorrheae, complicated by an ischemic stroke, is reported here. Clinical features that may point to N. gonorrhoeae as the pathogen in a patient with bacterial meningitis include a concomitant active urogenital infection, skin rash, arthritis, and/or tenosynovitis. Parenteral ceftriaxone for 10 to 14 days combined with a single oral dose of azithromycin is currently recommended as the treatment for gonococcal meningitis in recent guidelines. This case is presented to highlight a potential, albeit rare, complication of a preventable disease that has resurged in the last decade in our community.
A case of delayed diagnosis in persistent Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia illustrating the importance of empiric imaging
Authors: Ismail Arif , Cooper Ryan
Published: June 2019

We present a case of persistent Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) with delayed diagnosis of deep-seated asymptomatic abscesses leading to an unnecessarily prolonged hospital stay and significant morbidity. This case suggests that early empiric nuclear imaging might have led to earlier source control and, in turn, reduced morbidity. In addition, the case illustrates that even with a presumed superficial source of infection, one should still search thoroughly for additional and perhaps clinically occult secondary foci in patients with high-risk SAB.
STICKING TO HER GUNS OR GOING WITH THE FLOW
Authors: Schnee Christian
Published: June 2019

This paper investigates levels of rigidity and flexibility in Angela
Merkel’s decision making during her first three governments from 2005 to
2017. The study is a contribution to understanding German politics in the era
of Merkel who has regularly been criticized for allegedly lacking a transformative
agenda and ideological consistency. Methodologically this study draws
on Jonathan Keller’s framework that differentiates between internally and
externally validated leaders, with the latter seeking to appease and curry favor
with stakeholders and the former committed to their personal believes. The
study assesses Merkel’s decisions on fiscal and economic policies, zooms in on
her u-turn on nuclear energy, touches upon her dithering during the Euro crisis
and discusses at some length her protracted coming to terms with the
refugee crisis. Findings suggest her flexibility to be predominantly a reflection
of political expediencies and intended to preserve her party’s political compatibility
with potentially supportive stakeholders. Her approach thus is in line
with the agenda to manage coalition governments successfully, moderate and
conciliate divergent interests and thus secure their position in power.

Kampus yang hijau tentunya akan memberikan efek kenyamanan bagi insan civitas akademisi dalam sebuah perguruan tinggi. Universitas Sulawesi Barat merupakan salah satu kampus terbesar di Sulawesi Barat yang kehadirannya diharapkan dapat menjadi cikal bakal kampus yang ramah lingkungan. Oleh karena itu, green campus sebagai wujud kecintaan terhadap lingkungan yang perlu ditumbuhkan akan di mulai dari lingkungan internal kampus melalui gerakan penanaman 100 pohon yang terdiri dari pohon ketapang kencana (Termenelia mantily) dan ki hujan (Samanea saman) disekitar areal kampus dengan melibatkan mahasiswa Fakultas Pertanian dan Kehutanan. Gerakan penanaman 100 pohon ini diharapkan mampu membawa lingkungan kampus di Universitas Sulawesi Barat sebagai kampus yang hijau, asri dan nyaman. Program penanaman 100 pohon diharapkan menjadi langkah awal timbulnya kesadaran untuk menjadikan Universitas Sulawesi Barat sebagai eco-green campus. Salah satu elemen dari penerapan eco-green campus adalah green open space melalui gerakan menghijaukan ruang terbuka di areal sekitar bangunan baik perkantoran dan ruang perkuliahan di kampus Padang-Padang, rektorat dan LPPM Universitas Sulawesi Barat. Selain green open space ke depannya, elemen green campus yang lain seperti green movement, green transportation dan  green energy dapat diterapkan di Unversitas Sulawesi Barat seperti yang telah diterapkan oleh kampus-kampus besar di Indonesia seperti Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB). Program ini selain tujuan utama yang ingin dicapai dalam mewujudkan green campus di Universitas Sulawesi Barat juga membantu program dunia dalam mengurangi pemanasan global (global warming).

Atherosclerosis, the main factor in the development of coronary heart diseases (CHD), is an inflammatory response to endothelial layer damage in the arterial bed. We have analyzed the association between CHD and the polymorphic markers of genes that control the synthesis of proteins involved in the processes of adhesion and chemotaxis of immunocompetent cells: rs1024611 (-2518AG, CCL2 gene), rs1799864 (V64I, CCR2 gene), rs3732378 (T280M, CX3CR1 gene), rs1136743 (A70V, SAA1 gene), and rs1205 (2042CT, CRP gene) in 217 patients with CHD and 250 controls. Using the Monte Carlo method and Markov chains (APSampler), we revealed a combination of alleles/genotypes associated with both a reduced and increased risk of CHD. The most significant alleles/genotypes areSAA1*T/T+CRP*C+CX3CR1*G/A (Pperm = 0.0056, OR = 0.07 95%CI 0.009-0.55),SAA1*T+CRP*T+CCR2*G/A+CX3CR1*G (Pperm = 0.0063, OR = 14.58 95%CI 1.88-113.04), SAA1*T+CCR2*A+CCL2* G/G (Pperm = 0.0351, OR = 10.77 95%CI 1.35-85.74).

Published: June 2019

One of the dominant trends in modern pharmacology is the creation of drugs that act directly on the lesion focus and have minimal toxicity on healthy tissues and organs. This problem is particularly acute in relation to oncologic diseases. Short tissue- and organ-specific peptides capable of delivering drugs to the affected organ or tissue are considered promising targeted agents that can be used in the diagnosis and therapy of diseases, including cancer. The review discusses in detail the technology of phage display as a method for obtaining specific targeted peptide agents and offers examples of their use in diagnostic and clinical practice.

Cholesterol is an important constituent of cell membranes and plays a crucial role in the compartmentalization of the plasma membrane and signaling. Brain cholesterol accounts for a large proportion of the bodys total cholesterol, existing in two pools: the plasma membranes of neurons and glial cells and the myelin membranes . Cholesterol has been recently shown to be important for synaptic transmission, and a link between cholesterol metabolism defects and neurodegenerative disorders is now recognized. Many neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by impaired cholesterol turnover in the brain. However, at which stage the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway is perturbed and how this contributes to pathogenesis remains unknown. Cognitive deficits and neurodegeneration may be associated with impaired synaptic transduction. Defects in cholesterol biosynthesis can trigger dysfunction of synaptic transmission. In this review, an overview of cholesterol turnover under physiological and pathological conditions is presented (Huntingtons, Niemann-Pick type C diseases, Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome). We will discuss possible mechanisms by which cholesterol content in the plasma membrane influences synaptic processes. Changes in cholesterol metabolism in Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, and autistic disorders are beyond the scope of this review and will be summarized in our next paper.

As has been shown previously, phosphite of acycloguanosine (Hp-ACG) exhibits equal efficacy against ACV-sensitive and ACV-resistant HSV-1 strains in cell culture. Intraperitoneal administration of Hp-ACG to model mice with herpetic encephalitis caused by HSV-1 infection was shown to be effective in protecting against death. In the present work, we continue the study of the antiviral efficiency of Hp-ACG against HSV administered non-invasively; namely in vivo, orally and in the form of ointment formulations. It has been first shown that oral administration of Hp-ACG twice daily for five days prevents systemic infection in mice caused by HSV-1. Mortality in the control group of animals was 57%. Administration of Hp-ACG at doses of 600, 800 and 1,000 mg/kg per day significantly increased the survival and median day of death of the animals compared to the placebo-treated control group. A comparative evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy parameters of polyethylene glycol-based ACV ointment and Hp-ACG ointment was carried out after a 5-day course in the model of an experimental cutaneous infection of HSV-1 in guinea pigs. It was found that Hp-ACG has a significant therapeutic effect resulting in a statistically significant reduction in the lesions surface area and the amount of vesicular structures. The exhibited therapeutic effect of 10% Hp-ACG in ointment form compares well with that of 5% ACG ointment.

A systematic search for DNA fragments containing potential CTCF transcription factor binding sites in the chicken alpha-globin domain and its flanking regions was performed by means of the two-dimension electrophoretic mobility shift assay. For the alpha-globin domain fragments selected, the occupancy by the CTCF in erythroid and lymphoid chicken cells was tested by chromatin immunoprecipitation. Only one of 13 DNA fragments capable of CTCF binding in vitro was efficiently bound to this protein in vivo in erythroid cells, and somewhat less efficiently - in lymphoid cells. So, binding of CTCF to the DNA fragment in vitro in most cases does not mean that this fragment will be occupied by CTCF in the cell nucleus. Yet, CTCF binding in vivo, as a rule, is accompanied by the binding of the protein to this DNA region in vitro. During the erythroid differentiation, no significant changes in CTCF binding to the DNA fragments studied were detected.

The bacteriolytic activity of interleukin-2 and hen egg white lysozyme against 34 different species of microorganisms has been studied. It was found that 6 species of microorganisms are lysed in the presence of interleukin-2. All interleukin-2-sensitive microorganisms belong either to the Enterobacteriaceae, Bacillaceae, or the Lactobacillaceae family. It was also found that 12 species of microorganisms are lysed in the presence of lysozyme, and 16 species of microorganisms are lysed in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The bacteriolytic activity of interleukin-2 and lysozyme was studied at various pH values.

Accurate Magnetic Characterization Based Model Development for Switched Reluctance Machine
Authors: Hamouda Mahmoud , Számel László
Published: June 2019

High performance control and analysis of switched reluctance machines (SRMs) require accurate modeling of their magnetic characteristics. However, the doubly salient structure and deep magnetic saturation make it very complicated to accurately model SRMs. This paper presents a high fidelity model development for SRMs. The model is developed based on the experimental measurement of ﬂux-linkage and torque characteristics. The introduced measurement noises / errors are investigated carefully. Then several post-processes are achieved to reduce these noises. The measurement accuracy is veriﬁed by three methods: ﬁnite element method (FEM), search coil comparison, and LCR meter. The measured data are employed after proper rearrangement to build a dynamic MATLAB simulation model for the tested 8/6 machine. The model accuracy and dependability is achieved experimentally.

Published: June 2019

This study aims to investigate faculty of education students’ anxiety of not being appointed to teachership levels. This is a quantitative research designed as survey model. Study group of the study is consisted of 320 students studying at faculty of education from six departments and four grades in 2018-2019 academic year. Quantitative data analysis methods were used. Significant difference was determined as .05. The data were collected through “The Anxiety of Pre-service Teachers’ Not to Be Appointed to Teachership Scale”. The scale has two sub-dimensions which are ‘fear of not being appointed to teachership” and “personal perception”. According to the research results, mean score of anxiety level of participants is 3.55, which is high. Participants’ anxiety level of not being appointed does not significantly differ in terms of gender, grade and belief of being a good teacher variables. Personal perception dimension of the scale significantly differs in terms of the department variable. These results confirm that faculty of education students have high level of not being appointed anxiety and gender, grade, belief of being a good teacher variables do not affect anxiety level but department variable affects students’ anxiety levels of not being appointed to teachership at personal perception dimension.

En esta investigación se realizará un estudio de cómo aprovechar residuos orgánicos y así evitar que se conviertan en un foco de infección. En la agricultura y ganadería a pequeña escala se ha venido tratando los residuos para transformarlos en abonos naturales, y en algunos casos como combustible. Los biodigestores son sistemas naturales que aprovechan residuos orgánicos, procedentes de actividades agropecuarias, principalmente estiércol, para producir biogás (combustible) y biol (fertilizante natural) mediante el proceso de digestión anaerobia. El biogás puede ser empleado como combustible en las cocinas, calefacción o iluminación. En grandes instalaciones se puede utilizar el biogás para alimentar un motor que genere electricidad. El fertilizante, llamado biol, inicialmente se ha considerado un producto secundario, pero actualmente se está tratando con la misma importancia, o mayor, que el biogás, ya que provee a las familias de un fertilizante natural que mejora fuertemente el rendimiento de las cosechas. Existen diversos tipos de biodigestores, pero en esta propuesta se presentan los biodigestores de bajo costo, que son aquellos que no requieren de sistemas activos de calefacción y/o mecanismos móviles de mezcla. De esta manera los biodigestores de bajo costo se consideran una tecnología apropiada por su bajo coste de inversión, por su fácil manejo, por requerir poco mantenimiento y por ser accesible a los pequeños productores como a los grandes. La incidencia de biodigestores familiares no solo se destaca por la generación de energía renovable y barata, sino que también beneficia a la salud familiar, porqué el biogás no desprende humo al cocinar.

La energía hidroeléctrica o hidráulica es de alta importancia para el desarrollo de un país no solo en el crecimiento económico sino para el mejoramiento del déficit eléctrico que se encuentre. En el Ecuador desde el año de 1992 se presentaron una serie de crisis cíclica de energía eléctrica. Éstas fueron originadas por el déficit de generación debido, en gran parte, a la falta de infraestructura. Por esta razón se dieron algunas prioridades para la generación de la matriz productiva donde desde el 2007 se dio el inicio de implantar megas infraestructuras en diferentes partes del Ecuador para usar el recurso natural como el agua para la creación de un sin número de hidroeléctricas. En el presente artículo de revisión de literatura, se encuentra el análisis del sector hidroeléctrico ecuatoriano y con la recopilación de información, de fuentes gubernamentales y externas, con respecto a las fuentes hidroeléctricas que se han implementado y demostrar la sustentabilidad y la aportación al cambio de la matriz productiva energética.
