Methods & Materials: The statistical sample consisted of 200 elderly (100 males and 100 females) with mean aged 68.05±5.21 years old that were selected by random cluster sampling in Tehran city. The tools used included strength and cardiovascular endurance items of Functional Fitness Assessment test for adults over 60 years (FFAA). Content, structure and concurrent methods was used to evaluate validity. For evaluation of concurrent validity, the hand grip and treadmill tools were used. In order to assess the reliability, the temporal and internal consistency methods were used. Results: The results showed that the content validity of strength and cardiovascular endurance items were confirmed (90%-95%). Results of construct validity showed that the Pearson correlation coefficient between age with strength and cardiovascular endurance items is meaningful significant (0.71-0.75). Results of Pearson correlation coefficient test showed that the correlation between strength and cardiovascular endurance items and laboratory tests related to each of them were obtained for high levels (0.90-0.96). Therefore, the correlation obtained indicates the concurrent validity of this test items. Also, results showed that the test-retest interclass correlation test with a one-week interval, indicate that the temporal stability is acceptable (0.81-0.85). Furthermore, the results of Cronbach's alpha coefficient showed that the internal consistency of each item was acceptable (α>0.75). Conclusion: Results indicate that the strength and cardiovascular endurance items in elderly sample are valid and reliable, and the Persian version of these items can be used to assess the functional fitness among Iranian elderly people.

Authors: Diwakar Anjali
Published: December 2020

The increase in viral diseases intensity and frequency poses a threat to community infrastructure and affects the total well-being of children in regard to: access to food, health, school attendance, access to clean water and sanitation, physical and social security. Using both qualitative and quantitative data, this article provided an overview of biological disasters and their potential effects on children’s access to quality education in East Delhi. The purpose of the study was to analyse school children’s specific vulnerabilities to biological disasters that need to be taken into account in policy development. Research indicated that viral diseases cause loss of learning hours, loss of qualified personnel, outbreak of airborne diseases, high absenteeism and low syllabus coverage leading to children’s poor academic performance. Children noted a range of experiences, from food insecurity to being withdrawn from school and sometimes forced into early marriages. These challenges compromise children’s rights and access to quality education. This article therefore recommended that a culture of safety be promoted through disaster education, development of good medical facilities and enforcement of medical treatment guidelines. Findings also supported the need for adaptation strategies to ensure that the risks specific to school children are addressed.

Entrepreneurial Engagement of Women in Selected Tourism Areas in the Philippines
Authors: G. Gumba Bernadette
Published: December 2020

This study analyzed the entrepreneurial engagements of women in 2 selected tourism areas in the Philippines. Specifically, it examined the respondents’ profile and their business; assessed the women’s enterprises as to employment generation, promotion of sociocultural authenticity of host community, support to agricultural and coastal endowments of the area, and economic empowerment of women. The women’s engagement in tourism-related enterprises may be a manifestation of a sense of ownership, themselves being born and growing up in the locality. They expressed a sense of pride especially in receiving outsiders whom they regarded as visitors of their home community. They articulated that their livelihood helped promote their way of life, place, resources and products. Most women’s enterprises in Tigaon were highly dependent on tourism. Although the same may be said of Caramoan, the women there were more enterprising and possessed some level of business resilience as they had set up other enterprises to get by while tourists were not around. More entrepreneurs from Caramoan than Tigaon came across tourists from other regions and abroad. The women’s engagements were isolated from the mainstream of the tourism industry. Their businesses were struggling amidst strong and stable competition from big capitalists who owned the resorts, hotels and food businesses. Data revealed that the livelihood activities of women were still very small and minimal. Consequently, the enterprises had insignificant and negligible generation of employment. The gender-based issues faced by the respondents were those that relate to reproductive work such as tight household budget, home concerns, sickness in the family and too much work. Tourism development in both communities should give preferential option for small entrepreneurs. The women may organize themselves to enhance social capital.
Study of Auto-Inflating and Deflating Air Bed for Phototherapy Treatment of Infants

Published: December 2020

This document provides an itemized investigation of the Phototherapy Air bed designed and curated to maximize the comfort level of phototherapy treatment of new born babies. Phototherapy bed is normally hard for infants and opaque, which restrict the ultra violet light from floor side to hit the babies back side. Thus doesn’t give comfort to the babies which causes them unrest during the treatment and decreases the efficiency of the breakdown of bilirubin by bili-lights and thus results in bad or inefficient treatment. Beds had been designed like gel-pads and bubble wrap to give them comfort and increase the exposure of lights on neonatal but hadn’t been that much successful due to their difficulty in application. Thus we had designed a very comfortable and easily equitable air bed which smoothly changes the pressure points of babies while they lay on it and gives them maximum comfort like a home bed which eliminates their random motion on the bed surface and also enhance the body surface area to exposure of Ultra- Violet Rays which maximizes efficiency of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and eases treatment of neonatal jaundice.

Published: December 2020

Czytelnikowi poszukującemu wiarygodnego i uznanego opracowania dotyczącego losów Żydów warszawskich w czasach drugiej wojny światowej bibliotekarz czy historyk niechybnie podsunie klasyczną już pozycję autorstwa Israela Gutmana Żydzi warszawscy 1939-1943. Granice czasowe książki sugerują wyraźnie, że historia Żydów w Warszawie kończy się wraz z likwidacją warszawskiego getta. O losach Żydów, którzy powstanie w getcie przeżyli i aż do upadku powstania warszawskiego przebywali po tak zwanej aryjskiej stronie, nic już tam nie znajdzie. Co więcej, o Żydach, którzy także wcześniej ukrywali się po „aryjskiej” stronie – przeczyta w tym obszernym studium zaledwie kilka stron.
Jan Marek Chodakiewicz, After the Holocaust
Authors: Engel David
Published: December 2020

W 1988 roku opublikowałem studium na temat antyżydowskich zajść w powojennej Polsce. Opierałem się głównie na materiałach zbieranych od września 1944 roku do września 1946 roku przez Ministerstwo Administracji Publicznej, a także na ówczesnych doniesieniach wywiadu i materiałach prasowych. Zaznaczałem w nim, że dostępne dane są niepełne, a wszelkie wnioski, które mogą być na ich podstawie wyciągane, jedynie wstępne. Szczególnie podkreślałem to, że „wydaje się niemożliwym dokładne określenie liczby Żydów zabitych przez Polaków w pierwszych latach po wyzwoleniu” 1 .Stwierdziłem, że najczęściej podawany szacunek – 1000-1500 – ofiar wydaje mi się zbyt wysoki. W zdaniu, które zostało usunięte przez redaktorów i nie pojawiło się w artykule, spekulowałem: „Gdyby udało się zebrać pełne dane, możliwe, że określona na ich podstawie ogólna liczba ofiar wahałaby się między 500 a 600, z możliwością nieznacznych tylko odchyleń od podanej liczby”. I choć pozostaje ona tylko przypuszczeniem, podwajam tę liczbę w późniejszych dyskusjach na temat zajść antyżydowskich w powojennej Polsce. Jak mi wiadomo, do dzisiaj nie pojawiły się nowe dowody, które wpłynęłyby na znaczącą korektę tego szacunku.
Przeciw swoim: Wzorce kolaboracji żydowskiej w Krakowie i okolicy
Authors: Mędykowski Witold
Published: December 2020

This article attempts to define collaboration with the Nazis and the most commonly used terms both in archival sources and literature. Furthermore, cases of individual collaboration with the Gestapo are discussed. One of the typical routes that led to collaboration was the involvement of Jewish policemen, who followed more and more controversial German orders during deportations, and thus underwent a process of brutalisation and an increasing dependence on their German bosses. This article analyses modes of informers' activity in the Cracow area as well as in Hungary, which led to arrests of Jews living in hiding or under false names on the “Aryan” side. It also shows the economic exploitation of the needy and the fate of the victims arrested as a result of denunciation. The article's conclusion contains an analysis of the causes and motivations of Jews involved in the treacherous business of denunciation of fellow Jews to undertake collaboration with the Gestapo.

Oto ten cytat: „Jeżeli dwóch kłóci się, a jeden ma rzetelnych 55 procent racji, to bardzo dobrze, i nie ma się co szarpać. A kto ma 60 procent racji? To ślicznie, to wielkie szczęście i niech Panu Bogu dziękuje! A co by powiedzieć o 75 procent racji? Mądrzy ludzie powiadają, że to bardzo podejrzane. No, a co o 100 procent? Taki, co mówi, że ma 100 procent racji, to paskudny gwałtownik, straszny rabuśnik, największy łajdak”

Published: December 2020

Writing in English is very important for every student who learns English as a foreign language (EFL). With good writing skills, information can be conveyed well to readers. Yet, EFL students often find difficulties in writing by using English as a target language, especially during the pandemic of COVID 19.  This paper aims to investigate some problems faced by the students in their learning of  writing during the pandemic of COVD 19. The design of the study is a case study. The instruments to obtain the data were interviews and documents. The subjects of the study were three high achiever students and three low achiever students who joined the writing course in the English Education Study Program in the University of PGRI Wiranegara.   They were chosen based on their writing achievements.  The finding shows that the high achiever students’ problems are more on the  technical problems (the internet connection, bad signals, and family distractions during online learning). For them the technical problems would lead to other issues such as materials comprehension and task accomplishment. The  low achievers have more problems in generating ideas for all type of writing.  The study also reveals that the low achievers have more time management problems and more language problems. Interestingly, they share the same solutions. The solutions are 1) to read  more sources to get ideas and to help them write; 2) to boost moods before writing by reading a lot, listening to music, and watching movies;  3) to ask friends and lecturers to help understand the materials and tasks;  and 3) to use writing tools application to solve the writing problems particularly in vocabulary and grammar.
THE ANALYSIS OF PRONUNCIATION ERROR ON ENGLISH DIPHTHONGS MADE BY CERTIFIED TOUR GUIDES
Authors: Wangi Wulan , Nudiya Dzicky Amiq
Published: December 2020

As a rule, the tour guides speak English to introduce and describe the tourism object to the foreign tourist. The communication between tour guides and tourists should be worked without any obstruction to avoid misunderstanding. However, the pronunciation error on English diphthongs still occurred when the tour guides spoke English with the tourist. The objectives of this study were 1) analysing the types of pronunciation error on English diphthongs made by certified tour guides, 2) finding the most difficult English diphthongs made by certified tour guides, and 3) identifying the reasons of the pronunciation error on English diphthongs made by certified tour guides. The research method was descriptive qualitative. The researcher used four steps in collecting the data, they were recording, questionnaire, observation, and documentation. The respondents of this research were five certified guides. The research result showed that pronunciation error on English diphthongs made by certified guide was 120 errors (76 errors in substitution and 44 errors in omission). The highest pronunciation error was [??] diphthong and it occurred 45 times. The certified tour guides did not aware that they make pronunciation error. They had conversation in English with the foreign tourist but they had less time in learning pronunciation with native or competent person in English. The certified tour guides need to improve their English quality through learning more about pronunciation with the expert to minimize their pronunciation error on English diphthongs.
Ketidakpatuhan Maksim Perbualan dan Komunikasi Berkesan dalam “Soal Rakyat”
Authors: Zahid Indirawati
Published: December 2020

Keberkesanan komunikasi sering kali dikaitkan dengan pematuhan maksim perbualan (MP) yang diusulkan oleh Grice (1975). Terdapat empat MP yang diusulkan, iaitu Kuantiti (MPKTT), Kualiti (MPKLT), Hubungan (MPHUB) dan Cara (MPCR). Ketidakpatuhan MP dianggap sebagai ketidakberkesanan komunikasi. Walau bagaimanapun, kajian telah membuktikan bahawa ketidakpatuhan MP tidak bererti komunikasi yang berlangsung tidak berkesan. Analisis yang dilakukan ini menggunakan temu bual berkisar politik, iaitu Soal Rakyat (SR) sebagai korpus. SR disiarkan di televisyen. Analisis yang dilakukan mempunyai dua objektif, iaitu pertamanya, mengklasifikasi ketidakpatuhan MP dan kedua, membincangkan tujuan serta faktor berlakunya ketidakpatuhan MP dan keberkesanan komunikasi dari perspektif Melayu. Analisis yang dilakukan mengaplikasi kaedah penyelidikan kualitatif, antaranya muat turun, transkripsi dan analisis teks. Dapatan analisis memperlihatkan berlakunya ketidakpatuhan keempat-empat MP dalam SR dengan MPKTT dan MPCR memperlihatkan kecenderungan yang tinggi. Ketidakpatuhan MP tidak menjejaskan keberkesanan komunikasi berdasarkan lima faktor, iaitu latar belakang khalayak, isu semasa, budaya, konteks komunikasi dan wibawa interlokutor. Ketidakpatuhan MP dilakukan bertujuan memberikan penjelasan, membuat penegasan, melahirkan rasa tidak puas hati/marah tentang sesuatu isu dan berkata benar/jujur. Rumusannya, dapatan ini telah menyangkal MP Grice  yang dikatakan bersifat universal  dan sekali gus menolak pendapat Grundy (2008).

The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the structure and properties of a gypsum composite based on semi-aquatic gypsum with a filler in the form of hollow glass microspheres with characteristics of water demand and the degree of filling of the mixture with microspheres. We used a glass filler with the sizes of hollow microspheres of 0.1 - 50 microns with a vacuum inside. To solve this problem, a two-factor planned experiment was chosen, where the ultimate compressive strength and the average density of the gypsum composite were selected as the output factors. The data obtained confirm the effectiveness of using hollow microspheres for producing light materials based on calcium sulfate hemihydrate. Domestic samples of glass microspheres were used. It is shown that they have a plasticizing effect in the composition of raw mixtures based on gypsum binder and contribute to a decrease in their average density.

The object of study is a cement composite material with powdered utilized optical discs. The objective is to establish the dependences of the main strength characteristics – compressive strength, bending strength, and density – on the amount of waste added into the mixture and the water-cement ratio. The compositions of the mixtures for the production of the cement composite material samples consisted of the following components: cement, sand, powdered waste in the form of utilized optical discs and water. Based on the results of testing the samples, mathematical models have been developed which describe the dependences of the physical and mechanical properties of the cement composite material samples on the fraction of waste and water-cement ratio. It was found that with an increase in the amount of powdered waste added into the mixture, it reduces the compressive strength, bending strength, and density of the samples under study, however, the optimization of the water-cement ratio makes it possible to obtain equal strength compositions with a different fraction of waste. Component compositions of cement composite material mixtures with the addition of powdered utilized optical discs in the amount of 10 to 25 % of the total filler mass, which can provide construction products with a compressive strength class B20, are presented.

Background

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) accounts for approximately 15% of kidney transplants, but long-term outcomes in patients with PKD who have received a kidney transplant are not well understood.

Methods

In primary recipients of kidney transplants at our center (1994–2014), we compared outcomes of underlying PKD (N=619) with other native diseases (non-PKD, N=4312). Potential factors influencing outcomes in PKD were evaluated using Cox proportional-hazards regression and a rigorous multivariable model.

Results

Patients with PKD were older and were less likely to be sensitized or to experience delayed graft function (DGF). Over a median follow-up of 5.6 years, 1256 of all recipients experienced death-censored graft failure (DCGF; 115 patients with PKD) and 1617 died (154 patients with PKD). After adjustment for demographic, dialysis, comorbid disease, surgical, and immunologic variables, patients with PKD had a lower risk of DCGF (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.73; 95% CI, 0.57 to 0.93; P=0.01) and death (aHR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.51 to 0.75; P<0.001). In our multiadjusted model, calcineurin-inhibitor (CNI) use was associated with lower risk of DCGF (aHR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.26 to 0.76; P=0.003), whereas HLA mismatch of five to six antigens (aHR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.2 to 3.64; P=0.009) was associated with higher likelihood of DCGF. Notably, both pretransplant coronary artery disease (CAD) and higher BMI were associated with increased risk of death (CAD, aHR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.69 to 3.71; P<0.001; per 1 kg/m2 higher BMI, aHR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.11; P<0.001), DCGF, and acute rejection. Nephrectomy at time of transplant and polycystic liver disease were not associated with DCGF/death. Incidence of post-transplant diabetes mellitus was similar between PKD and non-PKD cohorts.

Conclusions

Recipients with PKD have better long-term graft and patient survival than those with non-PKD. Standard practices of CNI use and promoting HLA match are beneficial in PKD and should continue to be promoted. Further prospective studies investigating the potential benefits of CNI use and medical/surgical interventions to address CAD and the immunologic challenges of obesity are needed.

Published: December 2020

Bu çalışmada, yükselten tip DA-DA çeviricinin çıkış geriliminin denetimi için Aralıklı Tip-2 Bulanık Mantık Denetleyici (AT2BMD) yapısı önerilmiştir. Bu denetleyici yapısı ile yük değişimine karşı DA-DA çeviricinin dinamik cevabının iyileştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla ilk olarak yükselten tip DA-DA çevirici yapısı deneysel olarak geliştirilmiştir. Daha sonra önerilen denetleyici yapısının performansının ve güvenilirliğinin incelenmesi için birbirinden farklı iki deneysel çalışma durumu oluşturulmuştur. AT2BMD ile Tip-1 BMD (T1BMD) bu çalışma durumları altında karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu denetleyici yapılarının deneysel çalışmalara uygulanabilmesi için dSPACE DS1104 denetleyici kartı kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre önerilen denetleyici yapısının her iki deneysel çalışmada da T1BMD’den daha tatmin edici dinamik cevaplar sağladığı açıkça gözlenmiştir.

Value Investing: The Circle of Competence in Technology Industry in the Stock Exchange of Thailand
Authors: Khrueachao Isaradet
Published: December 2020

Value investing idea was originally from Dodd and Graham (1951). They suggested investing based on value stock assessment by comparing stock price with accounting figures and historical trading. Various studies, such as Basu (1977), Fama, & French (1992, 1993, 1995, 1998, 2006, 2012), Asness, Moskowitz, & Pedersen (2013, 2015), Lakonishok, Shleifer, & Vishny (1994) classified investing as growth investing and value investing. The growth investing uses high P/E and P/BV ratios while the value investing uses low P/E and P/BV ratios. Previous studies found the value investing portfolio outperformed growth investing portfolio. In Thailand, many researchers have studied value investing, such as Sareewiwatthana (2011 & 2013) and Nettayanun (2017), who constructed an investment portfolio of value investing and growth investing in order to compare them with SET return.
