Published: October 2019

Adults and children recruit a specific network of brain regions when engaged in “Theory of Mind” (ToM) reasoning. Recently, fMRI studies of adults have used multivariate analyses to provide a deeper characterization of responses in these regions. These analyses characterize representational distinctions within the social domain, rather than comparing responses across preferred (social) and non-preferred stimuli. Here, we conducted opportunistic multivariate analyses in two previously collected datasets (Experiment 1: n=20 5-11 year old children and n=37 adults; Experiment 2: n=76 neurotypical and n=29 5-12 year old children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)) in order to characterize the structure of representations in the developing social brain, and in order to discover if this structure is disrupted in ASD. Children listened to stories that described characters’ mental states (Mental), non-mentalistic social information (Social), and causal events in the environment (Physical), while undergoing fMRI. We measured the extent to which neural responses in ToM brain regions were organized according to two ToM-relevant models: 1) a condition model, which reflected the experimenter-generated condition labels, and 2) a data-driven emotion model, which organized stimuli according to their emotion content. We additionally constructed two control models based on linguistic and narrative features of the stories. In both experiments, the two ToM-relevant models outperformed the control models. The fit of the condition model increased with age in neurotypical children. Moreover, the fit of the condition model to neural response patterns was reduced in the RTPJ in children diagnosed with ASD. These results provide a first glimpse into the conceptual structure of information in ToM brain regions in childhood, and suggest that there are real, stable features that predict responses in these regions in children. Multivariate analyses are a promising approach for sensitively measuring conceptual and neural developmental change and individual differences in ToM.

Risk factors for loneliness: The high relative importance of age versus other factors
Authors: Shovestul Bridget , Han Jiayin , Germine Laura , Dodell-Feder David
Published: October 2019

Background: Loneliness is a potent predictor of negative health outcomes making it important to identify risk factors for loneliness. Though extant studies have identified characteristics that are associated with loneliness, less is known about the cumulative and relative importance of these factors, and how their interaction may impact loneliness. Thus, here, we investigate risk factors for loneliness.Methods: 4,885 individuals ages 10-97 years from the US completed the three-item UCLA Loneliness Survey on TestMyBrain.org. Using census data, we calculated the population and community household income of participants’ census area, and the proportion of individuals in the participant’s census area that shared the participant’s demographic characteristics (i.e., sociodemographic density). We evaluated the relative importance of three classes of variables for loneliness risk: those related to the person (e.g., age), place (e.g., community household income), and the interaction of person X place (sociodemographic density). Results: We find that loneliness is highly prevalent and best explained by person (age) and place (community household income) characteristics. Of the variance in loneliness accounted for, the overwhelming majority was explained by age. On age, loneliness peaks at 19 years, and declines thereafter. The congruence between one’s sociodemographic characteristics and that of one’s neighborhood had no impact on loneliness.Conclusions: Age appears to be the most important risk factor for loneliness, which peaks just prior to the peak age of onset for psychotic disorders, and, contrary to popular belief, declines thereafter over the lifespan. These data may have important implications for public health interventions.

Effects of Learning Culture on English-Language Learning for Saudi EFL Students
Authors: Aldawood Arwa Abdulaziz , Almeshari Fatimah
Published: October 2019

This quantitative study aimed to investigate the influence of incorporating English-culture learning into English-language learning by observing the perspectives of Saudi EFL learners. It illustrated if there is an effect of learning culture on English language competence to the students of Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University . The studyʼs methodology included a questionnaire administered to 70 undergraduate female students in the English department at Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia. Results show that Saudi students recognized that culture and language are related to each other and the learning process cannot be fully realized without consideration of both aspects. Moreover, the study found that learning the English language with its corresponding cultural elements will enhance the speed and enjoyment of Saudi studentsʼ learning process. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that learning a foreign language not only involves studying syntactic structures or learning new vocabularies, but also should incorporate some cultural elements. From Saudi students' point of view, the only difficulty that might face them is the differences between Arabic and English cultures. Finally, this study recommends that further research can investigate the effect of culture on learning from the teachers' point of view
English Language Education in Algeria: Hostage of an Exam-Centric Education System
Authors: BEMMOUSSAT Nabil Djawad , BOUYAKOUB Naima
Published: October 2019

The present research paper is a plea for a reform policy of English Language Education in Algerian secondary-school education. It attempts to redraw the boundaries of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) from a teaching-testing perspective based on two fundamental questions: the ‘what-to-teach’ and the ‘what-to-test’, which represent the rationale of Algerian EFL classrooms. It also expands into a discussion of the discrepancies existing between stated objectives and classroom practice. This deviation from the prescribed syllabus is dictated by the Baccalaureate exam, a standardized test par excellence and the ‘entry visa’ to university. The study was carried out with a sample population composed of twenty-eight male and female students from the English Department of the University of Tlemcen, Algeria during the first term of the academic year 2018-2019. The data collected tools employed in this pilot experimental study, a pre-unit test (a pre-test), remedial activities, and a post-test, were conducted on the sample at the end of the experiment. The research paper culminates with a formulation of initial pedagogical steps that are likely to develop students’ communicative abilities within an exam-centric education system characterized by a grammar-focused and vocabulary-building test-oriented teaching. Hence, to negotiate a balanced approach that would accommodate both effective teaching and efficient testing.

Published: October 2019

With the challenges and revolutionary changes in the world, it is essential that the sources of social power direct the communities towards the right path that leads to a brighter future, especially when it comes to young adults. Young adults represent a critical social group that needs special attention. Therefore, the present paper tackles one of the fascinating literary genres to young adults; young adult science fiction. The paper attempts to investigate how the social themes of order and chaos are delivered to young adults in young adult science fiction through conducting a critical stylistic analysis of certain extracts in selected young adult science fiction novels. The linguistic tool employed for the critical stylistic analysis is negation for its prevalent use in the discourse, in general, and for its textual effectiveness in rendering hidden ideologies, whether intended or unconscious.K

Published: October 2019

The article attempts to investigate the problems, challenges and prospects of administrative system of Prithvi Narayan Campus (PNC) that has been functioning under Tribhuvan University. The qualitative data are obtained from the respondents mainly through the focus group discussion and in-depth interviews. Quantitative data were received from the campus administration. The study unveiled that the mismanagement of human resource, duplication of work, and insufficient coordination among departments and between the campus administration and the central office of Tribhuvan University as a major problem. Likewise, as in other sectors of public service delivery, the administrative system is incapable of maintaining good governance, integrity and transparency. In order to maintain quality administration, the concerned authority needs to strengthen the administrative capability of the campus, recruit quality human resource, adopt e-governance and maintain quality information system.
Safety and Justice in Our Artistic Spaces
Authors: Shaffeeullah Nikki
Published: October 2019

What do we do when harm is done? Who is responsible for holding accountable those who do harm, and who is responsible for helping survivors heal? Does healing look like those who are harmed returning to a pre-harm state—and if not, what else can healing look like? Is it possible for those who offend to reintegrate into spaces? Does punishment deter harmful behaviour? Is rehabilitation possible? What does it mean for communities to hold offenders accountable? Can the state be a reasonable proxy for a community? This article invites a very broad spectrum of questions, asking how people and arts organizations can position themselves to minimize harm, hold themselves and each other accountable when harm is done, and be open to shifts in processes and culture that create new frameworks for safe, generative, and innovative creativity. I draw on my background as a facilitator, theatre director, and artistic organizational leader to explore a method for grappling with these questions and pursuing transformative justice: container-building. In order to foster safety, and thus the conditions for bold, truthful risk-taking, container-building challenges the ways in which the outside status quo might be brought into a room. “Building a container,” as extrapolated from Training for Change’s direct-education facilitation methodologies, is intentionally constructing an environment that holds the group and its work, making space for conflict (which is inevitable), facilitating safety, and encouraging risk-taking. In this article, I offer a non-exhaustive list of things you can consider in building containers for creative work, from your organizational offices to your rehearsal rooms.
Consent on the Fringe: Restorative Justice and Accountable Communities
Authors: Fitz-James Thea
Published: October 2019

This article explores what the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals’ touring community has done to engage in restorative justice practices and create an atmosphere of accountability on the fringe festival circuit. It addresses what fringe artists have done between 2016 and now to address sexual assault at Canadian fringe festivals. As independent artists, fringe artists do not have the option of going to human resources or management when reporting a sexual assault. As such, they have turned to alternative methods of restorative justice. Alongside these efforts, author Thea Fitz-James considers the limits of restorative justice and her own struggle to identify exactly what constitutes a fringe community. Fitz-James tells her own personal account, attempting to offer not a pitch for restorative justice but, rather, an invitation into the mess of accountability and community healing. What follows are some attempts at bringing storytelling and restorative justice together to address sexual assault within artistic communities. This article is expanded from a story shared in May 2018 at the Canadian Association for Theatre Research session “Beyond #MeToo: A Roundtable and Discussion Session on Misconduct in Theatre Studies, Practice, and Training.”

Authors: Aranchaiya Chaiyud , Lothongkum Anchaleeporn W. , Lothongkum Gobboon
Published: October 2019

This work investigates the isothermal oxidation behavior of as casted 29Cr-8Ni ferritic stainless steel at 1173 and 1273 K for 126 ks at an air flow rate of 0.67 cm3 × s−1 using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The oxidation resistance at both temperatures was similar. At 1173 and 1273 K, the kinetic mechanisms were cubic: between parabolic and logarithmic, and parabolic, respectively. The oxidation kinetic constants k at 1173 and 1273 K were 1.648 × 10−4 and 8.152 × 10−4 g × cm−2 × s−1, respectively. The exponential growth rates n at 1173 and 1273 K were 0.3093 and 0.5692, respectively. The oxidation behavior of 29Cr-8Ni ferritic stainless steel was discussed and compared with that of as casted 26Cr-16Ni and as casted AISI 309 austenitic stainless steel.

Published: October 2019

Uniaxial tensile and ratcheting tests were performed with a 3D DIC system to investigate the tensile strain evolution and heterogeneous ratcheting of each area in a gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) welded joint. The results indicated that with increasing applied stress, the strain was initially concentrated in the base metal (BM) owing to its low yield stress, and then extended gradually to the heat affected zones (HAZ) and subsequently to the weld metal (WM) until the occurrence of quasi-shakedown. Furthermore, the most remarkable ratcheting strain and ratcheting rate were obtained in the BM but it manifested lower ratcheting deformation in the BM area of the GTAW welded joint as compared with the pure base metal.
Effect of Calcium Source and Irrigation on Soil and Plant Cation Concentrations in Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Authors: Pegues K.D. , Tubbs R.S. , Harris G.H. , Monfort W.S.
Published: October 2019

Calcium improves seed formation and development of peanut kernels. Two primary sources of Ca fertilization in peanut are gypsum (CaSO4) and dolomitic lime (CaMg[CO3]2+CaCO3). Objectives of this research are to determine whether gypsum, lime, or application of both influences pH, extractable [Ca], [Mg], and [K] in the soil along with nutrient absorption, yield, and total sound mature kernels (TSMK) in peanut pods in irrigated compared to non-irrigated conditions. Experiments conducted in Tifton, GA in 2016 and 2017 evaluated Ca treatments with no supplemental Ca fertilizer, gypsum (330 kg Ca/ha) applied at first bloom, lime (897 kg Ca/ha) applied at planting, and lime (897 kg Ca/ha) applied at planting followed by gypsum (330 kg Ca/ha) applied at first bloom. Irrigating increased soil pH, [Ca] and [Mg] in pods, plus yield and TSMK of peanut. Irrigation also decreased [K] in pods, which was correlated with increased pod [Ca]. Soil pH and soil [Ca], [Mg], and [K] were influenced by fertilizer treatment, along with [Ca] and [Mg] in pods. Applications of lime increased pH and soil [Ca]. Lime also increased soil [Mg] when applied alone, but not when gypsum was also included. Application of gypsum reduced soil [Mg] when applied alone, but not when lime was included. The inclusion of both lime and gypsum reduced soil [K] compared to no application. These results display the competition of cations in soil. In peanut pods, using lime and gypsum increased [Ca] compared to no application, or only lime. However, when only gypsum was used, it reduced [Mg] in pods compared to a lime application or no fertilization. Although Ca fertilization did not affect yield, TSMK was greater when lime followed by gypsum were applied in sequence than where neither were applied in 2016. It is important to realize that applications of Ca can also influence concentrations of other cations important for growth. Peanut growers are encouraged to conduct soil tests to ensure soil [Mg] is not deficient or borderline before choosing to apply gypsum, and may require a supplemental Mg fertilizer if dolomitic lime was not applied.

Authors: Slepkova N.V.
Published: October 2019

This paper considers some aspects of the history of the Zoological Museum and the Zoological Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, which appeared on its base in 1931, during two decades following the outbreak of the First World War. It deals with the scientific, social and political consequences caused for the Zoological Museum by the First World War, two Revolutions of 1917 and subsequent Civil War. The paper describes establishment of the Museum’s Council, which ruled from 1917 to 1930, and an attempt to evacuate collections in 1917, as well as conditions under which the Museum zoologists had to work in the period of the wars and revolutions. The first years of the restoration of normal work of the Zoological Museum after the Civil War are considered, as well as the effects of the flood, which damaged the Ichthyological, Herpetological and Osteological departments of the Museum in 1924. The renaming of the Museum into the Institute during the reform of the Academy of Sciences in 1929–1934 is discussed as well as layoffs and repressions during this reform. The paper considers changes in the Exhibition Department, made on demand of the authorities. The information is given about the Faunistic Conference of 1932, which was hosted by the Zoological Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR under the slogan for “the Party’s” and “Bolshevik’s faunistic studies”.

A Dynamic Logic Account of Active Integrity Constraints
Authors: Feuillade Guillaume , Herzig Andreas , Rantsoudis Christos
Published: October 2019

Active integrity constraints have been introduced in the database community as a way to restore integrity based on a set of preferred update actions. We view active integrity constraints as dynamic logic programs and show how several semantics of database repair that were proposed in the literature can be characterised in Dynamic Logic of Propositional Assignments DL-PA . We moreover propose a new definition of repair which makes use of the programs of Dynamic Logic to provide repair solutions based on an iterating procedure. After an analysis of their properties and a comparison to the previous approaches, we provide complexity results for the problem of existence of these new repairs. Furthermore, an extension on databases with history is explored and the behavior of the various repairs is adjusted to work in this setting. For all these definitions we provide DL-PA counterparts of reasoning and decision problems, such as the existence of a repair or the existence of a unique repair.

In empirical studies of the efficient market hypothesis using a classic approach, attention has generally been paid to the weak form of performance; other aspects of efficiency, such as informational efficiency, have not been addressed. Also, the study of alternative theories, such as behavioral hypotheses, is neglected. This article seeks to investigate not only the weak and informational forms of the efficient market hypothesis, but also to test the adaptive and fractal market hypotheses as two alternative theories by conducting an empirical study on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

PENGEMBANGAN MODEL KESELAMATAN UNTUK PENYEBERANGAN JALAN KOTA BANDUNG (STUDI KASUS SIMPANG BERSINYAL)
Authors: Nurhidayati Istiqomah , Kusumawati Aine , Hendarto Sri
Published: October 2019

Kecelakaan lalu lintas menjadi penyebab utama kematian peringkat ke-10 di Kota Bandung. Pejalan kaki adalah pengguna jalan yang rentan terhadap kecelakaan. Kecelakaan pejalan kaki sering terjadi di simpang karena pengguna jalan yang beragam dan bergerak menggunakan ruang jalan yang sama sehingga menimbulkan interaksi antara pengguna jalan yang kompleks. Keselamatan pejalan kaki di simpang masih sangat rendah sehingga penting dilakukan sebuah studi untuk mengurangi jumlah kecelakaan pejalan kaki. Sebuah model yang telah dikembangkan oleh FHWA (Federal Highway Adminstration) untuk keselamatan pejalan kaki di simpang adalah model PedISI (Pedestrian Intersection Safety Index). Model ini dapat digunakan untuk menentukan simpang mana yang perlu ditangani sebelum terjadi kecelakaaan berdasarkan nilai PedISI. Nilai PedISI menunjukkan tingkat keselamatan pejalan kaki di simpang. Tesis ini mengembangkan model Pedestrian Intersection Safety Index (PedISI) untuk simpang bersinyal Kota Bandung dengan variabel-variabel yang dimodifikasi. Data yang digunakan untuk pengembangan model adalah data kecelakaan pejalan kaki, data karakteristik simpang, data perilaku (konflik) dan data nilai keselamatan. Lokasi penelitian terdiri dari 16 simpang bersinyal dengan tipe 8/2 D, 6/2 D, 4/2 D, 4/2 UD dan 2/2 UD. Model PedISI yang terbentuk untuk Simpang Bersinyal Kota Bandung adalah PedISI = 3,184 + 0,032 THRULNS - 0,005 MEDIAN + 0,001SPEED85th dengan R2 = 0,525. Nilai PedISI untuk Simpang Bersinyal Kota Bandung berdasarkan model tersebut adalah 3,24 ? 3,45. Besar rata-rata nilai PedISI sebesar 3,35 dengan standar deviasi 0,06. Model mampu menggambarkan kondisi keselamatan simpang namun memiliki variasi nilai PedISI yang kecil. Hal ini disebabkan oleh hasil survei yang mengindikasikan adanya keseragaman persepsi responden terhadap nilai keselamatan. Dengan demikian, diperlukan perbaikan teknik pengumpulan data nilai keselamatan agar diperoleh model yang lebih baik.

A field experiment was conducted at the Pulse Research Sub-station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur during rabi season of 2015-16 and 2016-17 to evaluate the effectiveness of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients in terms of growth and yield maximization of lentil. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) having six treatments with three replications. The treatments were T1= Recommended dose (N20P15K30S10Zn3B1.5 kg ha-1), T2= IPNS (Inorganic) +2.5 t ha-1cowdung, T3= IPNS (Inorganic) +5 t ha-1cowdung, T4= IPNS (Inorganic) +1.5 t ha-1 poultry manure, T5= IPNS (Inorganic)+3 t ha-1 poultry manure and T6= Control. The results reveal that the integrated nutrient management had significant effects on the plant height, number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, 1000-seed weight, and seed yield of lentil. The maximum seed yield (1216 kg ha-1) as well as protein content (26.1%) were recorded with T4 treatment. The results advocate that satisfying the recommended dose through application of poultry manure @ 1.5 t ha-1 with IPNS inorganic fertlizer could be suggested for achieving yield miximization of lentil in chhiata soil series of Gazipur.

Combination of biological control agents and garlic (allium sativum) extract in reducing damping-off disease of tomato
Authors: Dania VO , Omidiora JA
Published: October 2019

Damping-off (Pythium aphanidermatum) is a soil-borne disease which accounts for seedling mortality and significant yield losses in tomato production. Laboratory and screenhouse experiments were conducted in 2017, with a repeated field trial in 2018 to evaluate the efficacy of combining three biological control agents (BCAs), Trichodermaviride, T. harzianumand Bacillus subtilis with Allium sativumextract for the integrated management of the disease in tomato crop. Treatments were laid out in a completely randomized design and randomized complete block design in the screenhouse and field experiments, respectively with eighteen treatments and three replications. The BCAs and extract were formulated and applied using seed treatment and soil sprinkling methods. Treatment combinations of BCAs with A. sativumwere more effective in the reduction of mycelial growth of the pathogen with inhibitory values that ranged between 77.6-91.2% than single inoculation. Seed treatment before planting was more effective than soil sprinkle method, reducing pre-emergence and damping-off incidence to between 6.8-18.3% and 9.7-26.3% under screenhouse and field conditions, respectively than the sprinkling method. Soil sprinkle with T. harzianumin combination with A. sativumextract had the highest cumulative tomato fruit yield of 902 kg/ha-1under field conditions. This study showed that combined application of BCAs and A. sativumextract reduced damping-off disease and thereby improved the fruit yield of tomato.

This research is motivated by problems where the books used by students during the lecture process only refer to one textbook as a source of reading. Textbooks that are difficult to understand make students not understand the concept. In addition, students experience many misconceptions. As a result, student learning outcomes are also low. The purpose of this study was to describe the use of problem-based graft theory modules to improve understanding of students' concepts and learning outcomes. This research method is a class action research method consisting of two cycles. The instrument used in this study is a concept understanding test as well as a test of learning outcomes. The subjects of this study were the 6th semester B grade students of Mathematics Education Department of FPMIPA IKIP Mataram consisting of 34 students.
