O bem comum a partir da Doutrina Social da Igreja
Authors: Boareto José Antonio
Published: January 2020

A reflexão sobre o princípio de reflexão do bem comum da Doutrina Social da Igreja pede uma re-fundação, segundo o Papa Emérito Bento XVI. Reconhecer a dignidade humana, primeiramente como dom dado pelo Criador enquanto chamado à vida, exige das pessoas um reconhecimento do direito natural que, anterior a qualquer direito positivo, afirma que toda pessoa é imagem de Deus e possui uma dignidade radicada em si mesmo a qual é inalienável e inviolável. Entretanto, como se verifica, a sociedade está marcada pelo “pensamento comum” que se demonstra como ideologia libertária e tecnocrata, tendo o ser humano se reduzido antropologicamente a consumidor. A questão social é, antes de tudo, antropológica. A necessidade de re-fundar o bem comum considera que o desafio do séculoXXI é as pessoas viverem unidas convivendo entre diferentes. Para garantir a dignidade pessoal e social, isto é, o bem comum, faz-se necessário reconhecer a importância de garantir o exercício da legalidade que tutela os direitos fundamentais da pessoa humana como base do ordenamento jurídico-político. Contudo, a legalidade precisa da ética, que está ausente, pois a cultura liberal, que se demonstra também global, não considera esses valores como critérios das decisões. As leis de mercado se colocam acima da dignidade humana, e o sistema capitalista define-se a partir da noção de maximização dos lucros. Para que haja um reconhecimento da igualdade fundamental entre todas as pessoas, é indispensável considerar a sensatez religiosa de fraternidade. O reconhecimento dessa fraternidade universal está presente na perspectiva apresentada pelo Papa Francisco em sua encíclica social Laudato Si, por meio de uma nova antropologia proposta como “ecologia integral”. Nesse sentido, garantir o bem comum, ou mesmo o desenvolvimento humano integral, deve ser o empenho realizado por cada pessoa e instituição que se debruce na tarefa de salvaguardar a dignidade humana e o meio ambiente, numa nova cosmovisão que faz interagir a ecologia humana e a ecologia ambiental.

Authors: Pramitasary Rateh Ninik
Published: January 2020

This research focuses with the view of the curriculum from Islamic thinkers, Al-Ghazali and Zakiah Daradjat. Both are compared to find out the meeting point of similarities and differences in compiling Islamic Education curriculum. The research process uses qualitative methods. Research with qualitative nature is descriptive and is a literature study that prioritizes a lot of reading in the library. The research objective is to explain the view of the Islamic curriculum according to Al-Ghazali, the view of the Islamic curriculum according to Zakiah Daradjat, as well as their differences and similarities. Al-Ghazali in the book Ihya 'Ulumuddin revealed that there are three aspects namely mental development, intellectual education, physical education. Zakiah Daradjat in the book of Islamic Education revealed that the Islamic Education curriculum must contain seven aspects, namely physical education, sense education, faith education, moral education, psychology education, beauty education, and social education.
Regional Boundary Asymptotic Gradient Full-Order Observer in Distributed Parabolic Systems
Authors: Al-Saphory Raheam , A. Khalid Zinah
Published: January 2020

The purpose of this paper is to explore the concept of the regional boundary asymptotic gradient full order observer (RBAGFO-observer) in connection with the characterizations of sensors structures. Then, we present various results related to different types of measurements, domains and boundary conditions for distributed parameter systems (DPSS) in parabolic systems problem.  The considered approach of this work is derived from Luenberger observer theory which is enable to estimate asymptotically the state gradient of the original system on a sub-region of the domain boundary  in order that the RBAGFO-observability notion to be achieved. We also show that there exists a dynamical system for the considered system is not BAGFO-observer in the usual sense, but it may be regional RBAGFO-observer.
Evaluation of enzymatic hydrolysis via alcoholic fermentation of corn flour
Authors: Shams Md. Shahriar Rahaman , Kabir Fahriha Nur-A , Sharmin Tajnuba , Aziz Mohammad Gulzarul
Published: January 2020

The research was concerned with the enzymatic hydrolysis followed by alcoholic fermentation of corn flour. Commercial corn flour purchased from local market contained starch of 87.25%, moisture 11.86% and ash 0.70%. The kinetics of corn flour hydrolysis was performed at 50°C, 65°C and 80°C using commercial thermos table-∞-amylase and ∞-amyloglucosidase. During hydrolysis the residual starch content was decreased with increasing hydrolysis time. The line weaver- Burk plot for enzyme hydrolysis of corn starch for 2.5%, 5% and 10% flour solution showed a Km value of 2.46, 2.27 and 1.73 mg/ml and Vmax values 1.23, 1.21 and 0.96 U/ml for 50°C, 65°C and 80°C respectively. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was used to detect the presence of dextrose in the hydrolyzates. The Rf (Retention factors) values showed that the starch was mainly composed of dextrose and depended on carrier solvent use for dextrose assessment. When 100% ethyl alcohol used as carrier solvent the Rf value was 0.72 and ethyl alcohol: ethyl acetate= 1:1 the Rf value was 0.65. Both corn flour solution and its enzymatic hydrolysates were fermented with commercial baker’s yeast. Both the cases starch content was decreased and alcohol content was increased during hydrolysis and alcohol production was 3 times more from hydrolysates. The results obtained here will be useful for further research in the production of other value added products like white vinegar from the produced alcohol from con flour.
Phenomenological Variant of Quasi-Chemical Approximation in the Description of the Dimerisation of Adsorbate Molecules in a Multilayer Adsorption Phase on a Homogeneous Surface
Authors: Garbacz Jerzy K. , Kozakiewicz Mariusz , Rymian Barbara
Published: January 2020

This article is related thematically to two of our earlier publications, which demonstrated full equivalence of statistical and phenomenological methods in the description of physical gas adsorption on the surface of a solid body, and the fundamental possibility of analytical solution of adsorbate-adsorbate association problems in the entire multi-layer adsorption phase. The quasi-chemical scheme of secondary interactions leading to the formation of horizontal multimolecular adsorption complexes has been elaborated. A new adsorption equation was formulated taking into account the dimerisation of adsorbed molecules in the whole adsorption phase, as well as the influence of topography of the binding sites of adsorbent surfaces on the form of this solution.

Authors: Skrzyński Stanisław
Published: January 2020

In the article the author presents the specificity of deep diving decompression in relation to the revolution in diving which was triggered by the introduction of a personal computer in recreational diving. Continuous development of these computers, especially in the last decades of our century, concerned deep-sea technical and recreational dives. Deep-sea dives are difficult and risky in terms of underwater physiology and decompression. In characterizing the decompression of a diver, realized with the use of a computer for deep-sea dives, the author compares the realization of decompression in professional deep-sea dives. He also points out the formal and technical obstacles to the implementation of personal dive computers. In summary, the article evaluates the possibility of using the diving computer in the implementation of underwater works.
The Problem of Choosing Development Paths
Authors: Wnorowski Henryk
Published: January 2020

We start from the assumption that the main problem, and at the same time the goal, is socio-economic development. We also assume that this pursuit is universal, development is the ambition of entities at all levels of aggregation, development is a desire of each country, as well as of business entities and individuals. From the other side, the governments create conditions for entities at the microeconomic level which generate additional value, that is, contribute to the creation of this development. Peculiar to them they are developmental paths. That’s why, the main hypothesis of this article, as stating that the choice of economic policy financed by excessive public debt does not, in the long run, serve well real socio-economic development.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the vast majority of these countries had serious problems with public debt. These problems already had their history and were so serious that some efforts to discipline the forum of this group appeared. It is, in a sense, natural in the sense that integration itself is heading to a high degree of coordination and to the unification of all economic policies. The picture of public finances of the European Union does not look good despite the fact that this group can boast a long history of making efforts to control and monitor the budgets of its member states. Moreover, one can even talk about a certain intensification of this process, especially with respect to the euro area countries, but we still can not say that satisfactory results have been achieved.
Health Security in a Democratic State: Child Vaccination – Legal Obligation Versus the Right to Express Consent for a Medical Intervention
Authors: Huzarska-Ryzenko Dorota , Huzarska Joanna , Pędziński Bartosz
Published: January 2020

One of the major objectives in a democratic state is ensuring health security of the citizens including combating epidemic diseases. The subject matter of this article is the presentation and analysis of legal regulations regarding preventive vaccination in Poland, in particular the aspect of imposing a legal obligation and restricting parents’ right to express consent for medical intervention. The reflections made herein are aimed at finding an answer to the question whether the adopted legal solutions are admissible in a democratic state with regard to ensuring health security. The purpose of the analysis is also to assess whether the abovementioned legal regulations have been formulated in a clear way and do not raise interpretation doubts and, consequently, whether they are comprehensible to the parents obliged to comply with them.

As it follows from analysis of the legal provisions, parents must not refuse to subject a child to obligatory preventive vaccination and their consent is not required by law, both as regards the medical qualifying examination to exclude contraindications to performing vaccination and the vaccination itself. It is a legal obligation, from which exemption is only possible on grounds of certain medical conditions that would render vaccination inadvisable.

The legal provisions that concern obligatory preventive vaccination in Poland, including in particular those referring to its enforceability, have not been formulated in a way that is sufficiently comprehensible to parents who are under the obligation of complying with them, irrespective of the fact that the language of the provisions of law should be clear and raise no interpretative doubts.

In a democratic state the protection of public health against epidemic hazards justifies the implementation of legal solutions that restrict an individual’s freedom of self-determination, thus limiting the right of patients or their statutory representatives to grant or refuse consent for a medical intervention in the form of preventive vaccination – the purpose of this legal solution being to prioritize the safeguarding of state health security.

It is vitally important to engage in a social dialogue with the purpose of convincing the public of the need for vaccination, its significance and its implementation for the better good.
Riding without a ticket: geography of free fare public transport policy in Poland
Authors: Štraub Daniel
Published: January 2020

A policy instrument promoting a free fare public transport policy (FFPT) has recently been put into practice in 66 municipalities across Poland. By contributing to the academic debate on the concept of FFPT (e.g. Kębłowski 2019), the main goal of this paper is to create a typology of the schemes where FFPT is in operation in Poland based on analyses of a geographical mapping of these projects. This study analyses how different municipalities are implementing the concept in order to define a typology of FFTP projects and to understand how the development landscape of the urban transport system is changing in the light of free fare transport policies, topics which are not fully covered in the academic literature. The findings confirm that there is a new dynamic in the development of urban transport systems and permit the identification of key characteristics of this trend. Besides the typology of implementation of FFPT, the study also presents an up-to-date inventory of FFPT projects with the key characteristic features of each system. Although the study does not provide specific recommendations regarding the introduction of a FFPT policy, it represents a good starting point for future and more detailed studies. Such studies are necessary in order to understand the role of FFPT not only in the context of the development of a given transport system, its impact on modal split, and travel behaviour, but also to uncover the different politics which lie behind them.
Learning Sustainable Design through Service
Authors: Al-Khafaji Karim , Morse Margaret Catherine
Published: January 2020

Environmental sustainability and sustainable development principles are vital topics that engineering education has largely failed to address. Service-learning, which integrates social service into an academic setting, is an emerging tool that can be leveraged to teach sustainable design to future engineers. We present a model of using service-learning to teach sustainable design based on the experiences of the Stanford chapter of Engineers for a Sustainable World. The model involves the identification of projects and partner organizations, a student led, project-based design course, and internships coordinated with partner organizations. The model has been very successful, although limitations and challenges exist. These are discussed along with future directions for expanding the model.
Redesigning an Appropriate Technology Shredder for Manufacture in a Developing Country
Authors: Weiss Jeffrey , George Camille , Walker John
Published: January 2020

The principles of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) were applied to the redesign of a manual shredding machine used to harvest breadfruit in the Republic of Haiti. The DFMA methodology examined each function of the shredder assembly to determine if a part could be eliminated or combined with another part and if there were simpler ways to meet the performance criteria without sacrificing quality. A breadfruit shredder designed by a previous senior design group that met the customer and engineering specifications was subjected to the DFMA process resulting in a machine that was easier to build in a developing country, used materials that were more commonly available, had a reduced number of parts, was more robust, was easier to clean and keep sanitary, and cost less to make.

Published: January 2020

The main objective of the Cornell Solar Oven Team is to help communities in the developing world design solar cookers appropriate for their specific cultural, social, economic, and environmental conditions. Food is not only a basic human need, but also a culturally important part of daily life. Thus, we seek to implement solar cookers in a way that is not only environmentally sustainable but also culturlly sensitive. During the 2005-2006 school year our team’s work focused on three main areas: the development and solidification of contacts with new partner organizations, parametric testing of previously constructed solar ovens, and the development of new solar oven designs. The work completed during the fall semester allowed us to produce an effective plan for the development of solar ovens. During spring of 2006, we cultivated a relationship with a new partner organization, Grupo Fenix, in Nicaragua. This connection facilitated the team’s visit to Nicaragua, during which the team had the opportunity to experience the technical and social aspects of solar oven use in the developing world first-hand.
The Challenges of Using Service Learning in Construction Management Curricula
Authors: Cline R. Casey , Kroth Michael
Published: January 2020

The use of experiential learning as a pedagogical mechanism to facilitate the
learning of skills taught in the classroom has become common in college curricula. Service learning and community engagement models are frequently used to combine academic skills with “real-world” experience to foster understanding, and to largely broaden the perspective of the learner. Service-learning and community engagement are both commonly used in construction management (CM) curricula to allow the CM learner to develop a greater understanding of construction materials, processes, and management techniques presented in CM coursework. CM educators, in an effort to formalize the experiential learning process into course curricula, inaccurately describe the experiential learning project as service-learning rather than community engagement because there is confusion about the parameters differentiating these two experiential models. In fact, many CM courses that include experiential learning are in fact practicing community
engagement and not service-learning. It is the parameters that set these two forms of experiential learning apart that make the practice of using service-learning in CM curricula a challenge.
Inguinal lymph node metastasis as the only manifestation of recurrent ovarian cancer: a case report
Authors: Dsouza Queena Sheryl , Bangera Kadri Yogesh
Published: January 2020

Background:

Ovarian cancer has emerged as one of the most common malignancies affecting women in India. Despite optimal surgery and appropriate first-line chemotherapy, almost 70%–80% of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer will develop recurrence. Inguinal lymph node metastasis is a rare site of involvement in recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.

Case Presentation:

Herein, we report the case of a 54-year-old female who presented to us with painless left inguinal lymphadenopathy. She gave history of being diagnosed with malignant ovarian cancer 2 years ago, for which she underwent debulking surgery. She received only one cycle of chemotherapy after which she defaulted. Cytological examination of the inguinal nodes revealed metastatic ovarian cancer. CA-125 levels were elevated despite the lack of any foci of metabolically active tissue on imaging.

Conclusion:

Inguinal lymphadenopathy is a rare presentation of recurrent ovarian cancer. Despite that, it is essential to examine the inguinal region in the follow up of all the cases of ovarian cancer. It is also necessary to consider ovarian cancer in the differential diagnosis for inguinal lymphadenopathy in a female patient.

Published: January 2020

Por más que las narraciones de viaje se remonten hasta La Odisea, o al mítico exilio de la pareja fundadora de la humanidad, expulsada del Jardín del Edén, lo cierto es que los estudios acerca del escritor viajero, por contraste con sus hermanos, los pintores, son relativamente recientes, pese a que ya desde inicios del siglo xx, Víctor Sklovsky había asegurado, contundente, que “los libros de viaje están en las estanterías junto a las novelas”, dando por sentado que el género tiene su origen en el antiguo periplo. La persistencia del motivo de la movilidad –representado en la literatura universal desde la transcripción de las mitologías, sean estas maya, azteca, grecorromana, celta, hasta las grandes novelas de aventuras del siglo xix o las crónicas de exilio en el xx –especialmente en este último medio siglo, se explica por la proliferación de los desplazamientos, como rasgo visible de la globalización.
Kształtowanie relacji polsko-niemieckich na pograniczu na przykładzie powiatu polickiego
Authors: Wojtaszak Andrzej
Published: January 2020

Wzajemne relacje polsko-niemieckie po 1990 r. ulegały trwałym przemianom. Stopniowo przystąpiono do budowania dobrosąsiedzkich stosunków w wymiarze transgranicznym. Celem prezentowanego artykułu jest przedstawienie aktywności instytucji z obszaru powiatu polickiego w kształtowaniu dobrych stosunków z sąsiednimi obszarami pogranicza po stronie niemieckiej. Relacje przybierały głównie wymiar kulturalny, turystyczny, oświatowy, dotyczyły także łączenia infrastruktury drogowej i wspólnych działań na rzecz bezpieczeństwa lokalnego i ekologii. Możemy przyjąć, że taka współpraca przyczynia się do lepszego wzajemnego zrozumienia oraz wypracowania wspólnych projektów i określenia możliwych wzajemnych oczekiwań. Pogranicze polsko-niemieckie na tym obszarze charakteryzuje także wzrost osadnictwa polskiego w niemieckich gminach pogranicznych, czemu towarzyszy udział Polaków zamieszkujących na obszarze Niemiec w lokalnych wyborach samorządowych. Ważnymi elementami sprzyjającymi aktywizacji działań na pograniczu są m.in. programy pomocowe UE, np. INTERREG III (2000-2006), INTERREG IV (2007-2013), INTERREG V (2014-2020) objęte koncepcją Europejskiej Współpracy Terytorialnej (Europejski Fundusz Rozwoju Regionalnego). Tworzone wspólne programy i przedsięwzięcia sprzyjają ponadgranicznej integracji i zbliżeniu społeczeństw, oraz zmianie wzajemnych ocen i przełamywaniu stereotypów.
Maritime Boundaries Revisited. De-bordering of the Taiwanese-Japanese Neighborhood in the Context of (Re-)Bordering Tendencies in the Region of East and South China Seas
Authors: Jańczak Jarosław
Published: January 2020

The presented article maps processes of bordering, de-bordering and re-bordering in East Asia with maritime borders and territorial claims as the central elements of the analysis. The key question of the investigation is why some maritime territorial disputes are amplified when other are silenced in the region? The author concentrates on two island states, Japan and the Republic of China (Taiwan), testing de-bordering of their neighborhood. This process is taking place however in the context of (maritime) border claims and disputes in the region of East China Sea and South China Sea, with numerous actors involved in the game of controlling space and setting new borders there. It is assumed that to understand the dynamics of the de-bordering processes between the two states, their neighborhood’s analysis has to be framed by historical developments, interests’ configurations as well as the collective spatial memory/identity component. Moreover, the attempts to intensify cross-border cooperation need to be settled, among others, in the changing geopolitical situation in the region and the growing power of China. Conceptually the paper tries to interpret developments using both neo-realistic and constructivist approach to international relations as well as theoretical models of the (still emerging) field of border studies.

Aplicabilidade da estereologia e microscopia de força atômica à pesquisa dermatológica veterinária (revisão de literatura)
Authors: Barbosa Yago Gabriel da Silva , Melo Wanderson Gabriel Gomes de Melo Gomes , Rodrigues Huanna Waleska Soares Rodrigues Soares , Argolo Neto Napoleão Martins Argôlo Neto Martins
Published: January 2020

Em dermatologia veterinária, persiste a tradição morfológica de obtenção de dados essencialmente qualitativos. A estereologia e a microscopia de força atômica são técnicas que combinam estatística e microscopia avançada para obter informações quantitativas tridimensionais, como volume total, volume ultraestrutural, densidade volumétrica, número total de estruturas, dentre outras, a partir de imagens bidimensionais. Essas técnicas são cada vez mais relevantes para determinar a heterogeneidade morfológica comumente encontrada em amostras teciduais. A utilização concomitante dessas técnicas favorece a obtenção de dados matemáticos e físicos, os quais são mais fidedignos e de maior acurácia que dados morfológicos qualitativos, baseados em descrições morfométricas bidimensionais. Este trabalho consiste de uma pesquisa de natureza descritiva, na modalidade de pesquisa bibliográfica, a respeito do uso das técnicas de delineamento estereológico e microscopia de força atômica. Para tanto, foram selecionados artigos em inglês e português, de 2003 a 2019, a partir de bases de dados online (PUBMED, SCIELO). A estereologia e microscopias avançadas, como a microscopia de força atômica, são altamente relevantes pela capacidade de fornecimento de dados sofisticados e fidedignos na área de interesse, tornando úteis para práticas morfodescritivas veterinárias.

Authors: Muhammad Rizwan  , Xuehong Qi  , Iram Naz  , Shumaila Akram
Published: January 2020

The purpose of the present research was to investigate future time orientation and moral self-image in the adolescents of government and private schools. A sample of 300 adolescents was studied from the government and private schools of Kharian, Pakistan by using simple random sampling technique. The construct of future time orientation was measured by using Time Orientation Scale (Zimbardo & Boyd 1999) whereas moral self-image was measured by using Moral Self Image Scale (Jordan, Leliveld, & Tenbrunsel, 2015). The data was analyzed by using simple regression and independent sample t-test. The results revealed that future time orientation was the significant predictor of moral-self-image [R²=.168; F (1, 298) = 60.103, p<.01]. Further, there was difference in the future time orientation of adolescents of government and private school (t (298) = 3.40, p<.05) and difference in moral self-image was not significant (t (298) = 1.02, p>.05). Whereas on gender there was a non-significant difference persist in the future time orientation (t (298) = .62, p>.05) and significant difference identified on moral self-image (t (298) = -2.1, p<.05). It was explored that future time orientation was the significant predicator of the moral self-image. Moreover, there was difference in the future time orientation of government and private school adolescents and no difference on the moral self-image. Moreover, no gender difference was established on future time orientation and a gender difference existed on the moral self-image.

Cuestiones epistémicas en el análisis de la dependencia y del capitalismo dependiente
Authors: Osorio Jaime
Published: January 2020

Muchas de las discusiones en las ciencias sociales tienen como trasfondo elementos que están más allá de los problemas aparentemente en disputa. Por ello, es necesario ir más a fondo y develar los fundamentos epistémicos que sostienen tal o cual posición. En lo que sigue, se privilegiará esa perspectiva para intentar esclarecer algunos puntos centrales en la polémica sobre la renovación de la teoría marxista de la dependencia formulada por Claudio Katz y ofrecer respuestas puntuales a su último escrito (2019). Desde esa perspectiva, se podrá dimensionar la consistencia de los argumentos, los límites que el horizonte reflexivo asumido plantea, así como su ubicación en el desarrollo de la teoría de la dependencia.

This article describes our learning objective design and refinement process, challenges encountered, and ideas on how to create opportunities for embedding information literacy into a curriculum. We also share our full activity lesson plans and assessment tool.
Academic Librarians Supporting Digital Storytelling in the Sciences
Authors: Gowen Elise
Published: January 2020

Science curricula in academic settings increasingly emphasize the importance of fostering students’ science communication skills through coursework and projects. One technique used to build students’ multimedia communication skills is digital storytelling. Digital storytelling allows students to tell a subjective story that engages audience’s interest and empathy using a mixture of visual and audio cues. In the process, students develop their own skills building an emotionally engaging narrative through the interaction of words and imagery, skills that are not usually exercised in a STEM curriculum. At some institutions, instructors of this technique have partnered with librarians, who can offer valuable assistance in the form of copyright support, resource guidance, and technical support. This paper will discuss how science librarians can provide support for digital storytelling in the curriculum.
A Comparison of Selected Bibliographic Database Search Retrieval for Agricultural Information
Authors: Ritchie Stephanie , Banyas Kelly , Sevin Carol
Published: January 2020

Search result retrieval was compared across eight research literature databases (AGRICOLA, AGRIS, BIOSIS, CAB Direct, FSTA, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science) for three topics from different agricultural disciplines to compare retrieval results based on searcher experience. Precision, recall, and uniqueness were analyzed by rating search results (~2400 citations) for relevancy. A generalized linear model statistical analysis determined that AGRICOLA ranked highest for precision and was statistically more likely to produce a relevant result than four other databases. CAB and Web of Science ranked highest for recall and both overlapped with AGRICOLA for statistical likelihood of producing a relevant result. Google Scholar retrieved the most unique content, but almost half of that content was not judged relevant. AGRICOLA, BIOSIS and CAB retrieved the most unique and relevant content. This study will help researchers and librarians working in the agricultural disciplines to select the bibliographic databases that will provide the most relevant search results and are most likely to meet their research need. It may also serve as a template for future bibliographic research in other disciplines.
A Study of the Copyright Renewal Rate for Maps
Authors: Musser Linda
Published: January 2020

This study examines the copyright renewal of maps published in the United States from 1923 to 1950 and compares the results with a recent study of copyright renewals for books. Results indicate that, while the average copyright renewal rate for maps appears similar to that of books, the average was skewed higher by a single publisher whose renewal rate was much higher than average. With the data from that publisher excluded, the average copyright renewal rate dropped to 10% meaning that a significant number of maps copyrighted in the U.S. in the first half of the 20th century are probably in the public domain due to lack of copyright renewal.

Persilangan merupakan salah satu teknik untuk memperluas keragaman genetik. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengestimasi keragaman genetik, heritabilitas dan jumlah kelompok gen pengendali karakter hasil dan komponen hasil tomat pada populasi F2 persilangan TMU-1 x TMU-2 di dataran rendah. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Kelurahan Kandang Limun, Kota Bengkulu dengan ketinggian 10 m dpl (dataran rendah) dari bulan April sampai Oktober 2016. Estimasi keragaman genetik, heritabilitas dan jumlah kelompok gen pengendali karakter ditentukan berdasarkan nilai tengah dan ragam pada populasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan semua karakter yang diuji memiliki jumlah kelompok gen pengendali sebanyak satu gen. Karakter yang dikendalikan oleh satu gen diharapkan fiksasi gen-gen akan cepat tercapai pada beberapa siklus awal seleksi. Delapan karakter memiliki heritabilitas tinggi. Masing-masing karakter dan heritabilitasnya adalah umur berbunga (52.90%), jumlah buah per tanaman (92.99%), panjang buah (77.10%), diameter buah (71.76%), jumlah rongga buah (85.68%), tebal daging buah (73.05%), padatan total terlarut (89.77%) dan bobot buah per tanaman (65.19%).

The Performance of Potted Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora) Due to Growth Retardant and Terminal Bud Pinching
Authors: Widyawati Nugraheni
Published: January 2020

Kajian pengaruh perlakuan retardant dan pemangkasan pucuk terhadap penampilan tanaman krisan pot (Dendranthema grandiflora) dilakukan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok yang terdiri atas tujuh perlakuan dengan empat ulangan, yaitu: P1) Kontrol tanpa retardan dan pemangkasan pucuk; P2) Penyemprotan retardan saat pindah tanam bibit; P3) Penyemprotan retardan 1 minggu setelah pindah tanam bibit; P4) Penyemprotan retardan 2 minggu setelah pindah tanam bibit; P5) Pemangkasan pucuk saat pindah tanam bibit; P6). Pemangkasan pucuk 1 minggu setelah pindah tanam bibit; P7) Pemangkasan pucuk 2 minggu setelah pindah tanam bibit. Data hasil penelitian dianalisis menggunakan ANOVA dan BNJ 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa retardan meningkatkan kandungan klorofil daun, tanaman menjadi lebih pendek, diameter tajuk lebih kecil, jumlah bunga per pot lebih sedikit dan diameter bunga lebih kecil. Pemangkasan pucuk menurunkan tinggi tanaman, meningkatkan jumlah bunga per tanaman dan jumlah bunga per pot. Perlakuan retardan dan pemangkasan pucuk menyebabkan mekarnya bunga kurang serentak. Penampilan krisan pot dengan perlakuan retardan lebih ideal dibandingkan kontrol dan pemangkasan pucuk.

Salah satu isu dalam pertanian perkotaan adalah pengelolaan limbah. Banyaknya limbah di perkotaan belum banyak dikelola secara baik. Salah satu limbah yang dapat dikelola dan dimanfaatkan adalah limbah perikanan sebagai bahan baku pupuk organik. Tujuan dari penelitian ini mengetahui respon pertumbuhan dan hasil panen pakcoy terhadap pemberian pupuk organik cair limbah perikanan. Metode penelitian menggunakan RAKL secara faktorial diulang empat kali. Faktor pertama adalah dosis pupuk urea dengan lima taraf (0, 25%, 50%, 75%, dan 100% dari dosis rekomendasi 250 kg ha-1), dan Faktor kedua adalah konsentrasi pupuk cair organik dari limbah perikanan dengan lima taraf (0, 2, 4, 6, dan 8 ml L-1). Terdapat 25 kombinasi perlakuan dengan 6 tanaman per satuan percobaan, sehingga ada 600 sampel tanaman yang diteliti. Penelitian ini dilakasanakan di Kebun Bergizi, dan Laboratorium Agroekoteknologi, Universitas Trilogi, pada bulan September sampai Oktober 2018. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kombinasi perlakuan 50% pupuk urea dan 2 ml L-1 pupuk cair organik memberikan hasil yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan kontrol perlakuan lainnya pada indikator pertumbuhan. Pada peubah jumlah daun layak konsumsi dan berat segar tanaman pada kombinasi perlakuan 50% pupuk urea dan 2 ml L-1 yaitu 19.11 helai, dan 220.77 g lebih berat dari perlakuan 100% dosis urea yang digunakan.

Published: January 2020

Holothuria scabra is one of high-value sea cucumber. The beneficial aspect of sea cucumbers is determined by the source of raw materials. The extraction process is a process that happens before sea cucumbers are used. In this process, the use of a various solvent is not only to facilitate the production process but also to maintain the active material. Also, the amount of yield obtained in the extraction process becomes a consideration in the production process. One of the benefits that are often claimed is antioxidants. This study aims to determine the yield of sea cucumbers after the extraction process by maceration with various types of solvents then antioxidant testing was carried out with DPPH followed by BSLT test. It was commonly used and easy to do. Besides, BSLT test was carried out to determine the initial toxicity and potency to be developed as antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer candidates. Results showed that the highest yield was 8.98% produced by dry sea cucumber samples extracted with ethanol PA 70% ethanol (code T5). In the results of the antioxidant tests, the best IC50 comes from dried sea cucumber extracted using ethyl acetate (code T2 and T3) with 1140 ± 0.00 ppm and1140 ± 10 ppm respectively. In the BSLT test results, the lowest LC50 was shown by extract using 100% methanol PA solvent (T4 code), with 108 ppm.

Identifikasi morfologi sebagai alternatif identifikasi jenis kelamin siput gonggong tanpa merusak cangkang dan viscera. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi jenis kelamin siput gonggong Strombus sp. secara morfologi. Sampel diperoleh dari nelayan pengumpul di pesisir Madung, Tanjungpinang, Indonesia. Sampel dikoleksi pada saat surut terendah, hasil koleksi disimpan dalam wadah ember. Siput gonggong jenis kelamin jantan dan betina dibedakan secara morfologi melalui pengamatan visual terhadap cangkang tanpa pembedaan organ bagian dalam cangkang. Organ reproduksi diketahui dengan cara mengeluarkan keseluruhan daging dengan memecahkan cangkang. Panjang cangkang diukur menggunakan kaliper dengan ketelitian 0,01 mm. Panjang cangkang adalah jarak dari ujung anterior ke ujung posterior cangkang. Rasio jenis kelamin siput gonggong dianalisis dengan metode chi-square. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siput gonggong yang ditemukan adalah jenis Strombus canarium dan Strombus sp. dari total sampel sebanyak 1124 individu. Jenis kelamin siput gonggong dapat ditentukan secara morfologi berdasarkan kemontokan cangkang (lebar dan langsing). Bentuk cangkang lebar menandakan siput gonggong jenis kelamin betina, bentuk cangkang langsing menandakan siput gonggong jenis kelamin jantan. Nisbah kelamin siput gonggong jenis S. canarium dan Strombus sp. jantan dan betina dalam  rasio berbeda.
