Authors: Zegeye Zemenu Birhan , Vass Nóra , Tomano Andualem
Published: December 2020

The complex anatomical structure of the ewe reproductive tract accompanied with low quality of frozen ram semen for artificial insemination, resulted in a challenge with regard to using superior genotypes for reproductive ovine performance. Hence, improved genetics in ovine management has not been efficiently and widely used especially in undeveloped countries. Therefore, intrauterine semen deposition by laparoscopic insemination should be adopted in the current sheep production systems. Thus, this study aimed to assess the pregnancy rate and lambing rate of ewe inseminated by laparoscopic insemination techniques using frozen-thawed semen. The research used imported frozen semen from two rams of the Lacaune breed. Ewes were grouped according to age in years (1, 2 and 4). Before insemination, the semen was examined microscopically for its motility and viability and thereafter the laparoscopic artificial insemination technique was performed to 19 Lacaune breed ewes using frozen-thawed semen. The overall pregnancy and prolificacy rates were 31.57% and 42.10% respectively. Out of 2 ewes in the 1-year age group that were inseminated, only 1 ewe lambed representing 50%. However, from 16 ewes inseminated of four-year age group, 5 ewes lambed representing 31.25%. Significant difference based on age group was not evaluated due disproportionate of the data, (such that the data included 2 ewes in one-year-old age, 1 ewe in 2-year-old age and 16 ewes in 4-year-old age). Based on the ram semen, 33.33% and 30% of the inseminated ewes were pregnant from ram A and ram B semen respectively. However, in the case of prolificacy rate, 44.44% and 40 % of the ewes lambed from using semen of ram A and B, respectively. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in pregnancy and prolificacy rates based on semen from the two rams. In conclusion, in this research study, ram semen had no significant effect on pregnancy and prolificacy rates using laparoscopic AI on Lacaune sheep. This could be due to the fact that the rams had very good quality semen. Evaluation of ram semen, accompanied with appropriate ewe selection based on age and rightful deposition of semen could lead to better and more consistent results. Overall this could contribute to the successful application of laparoscopic artificial insemination in Lacaune sheep production systems for enhanced productivity.

In recent years, intensive fish farming has led to an outbreak of several diseases, and the health status of fish can affect the economy of aquaculture. Since fish health and intestinal health are in correlation, it may also have an impact on immunity. Accordingly, many natural feed additives are being used to improve immune functions. In our study, carotenoids, oligosaccharides, and anthocyanins were applied at 1 m/m% in feed to investigate their effects on cytokines, such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) in spleen and mid-intestine of 6 months old carp. Gene expression analysis was carried out to examine IL-1β, IL-8, TNF-α, and IRF-1 mRNA levels in fish spleen and mid-intestine. The gene expression level of pro-inflammatory IL-1β decreased in the mid-intestine of carotenoid-fed carp compared to anthocyanin supplemented group, but the effects of the bioactive plant extracts were not observed on the examined cytokines compared to control fish.

Published: December 2020

Implementing methodological approaches and pedagogical activities using Children’s Literature which promotes critical thinking in schools and universities is progressively becoming a priority within the Spanish Ministry of Education and the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) as one of the pillars underpinning the current teacher training in Spanish higher education scenario, together with the responsibility of local Elementary Schools to educate critical citizens. Therefore, lecturers and researchers are encouraged to link the content of Children’s Literature books to some modules in the undergraduate students’ degrees such as English Studies Degree and Teacher Training, providing a reflective framework that promotes the emancipation and introducing brand new topics that require pushing the boundaries outside the comfort zone and applying critical thinking and other related cross-curricular competences in the learning process of our students. This paper represents the selection of two picture books: Walking to School (2008) by Eve Bunting and illustrated by Michael Dooling and The Wall: Growing Up Behind the Iron Curtain (2007) by Peter Sís, in order to design tasks and relevant learning environments that focus on certain learning affordances while raising awareness in the main topics of Across the Borders Literature.
Method of tribodiagnostics of d-30KU engines/KP with the use of a microwave plasma complex: results of metrological examination and analysis of the accuracy
Authors: Bogoyavlenskiy A. , Bokov A.
Published: December 2020

The article contains the results of the metrological examination and research of the accuracy indicators of a method for diagnosing aircraft gas turbine engines of the D30KU/KP family using an ultra-high-frequency plasma complex. The results of metrological examination of a complete set of regulatory documents related to the diagnostic methodology, and an analysis of the state of metrological support are provided as well. During the metrological examination, the traceability of a measuring instrument (diagnostics) – an ultrahigh-frequency plasma complex – is evaluated based on the scintillation analyzer SAM-DT-01–2. To achieve that, local verification schemes from the state primary standards of the corresponding types of measurements were built. The implementation of measures to eliminate inconsistencies identified during metrological examination allows to reduce to an acceptable level the metrological risks of adverse situations when carrying out aviation activities in industry and air transportation. In addition, the probability of occurrence of errors of the first and second kind in the technological processes of tribodiagnostics of aviation gas turbine engines is reduced when implementing a method that has passed metrological examination in real practice. At the same time, the error in determining ratings and wear indicators provides acceptable accuracy indicators and sufficient reliability in assessing the technical condition of friction units of the D-30KP/KP2/KU/KU-154 aircraft engines.

Published: December 2020

Purpose: This article aims to examine the relationship between agency costs related to managerial discretion and cash holdings by Moroccan companies. In order to do this we will mobilize both agency theory and free cash flow theory. To date, and to our knowledge, no research has been conducted on the cash flow of Moroccan companies in the light of agency theory Research methodology: This research uses econometric models based on a positivist approach with a hypothetical-deductive method. Results: Our results show that there is a strong positive relationship between cash holdings and cash flow. It also turns out that the liquidity of these companies is significantly negatively affected by the debt leverage and the growth opportunities of the company. Limitations: we have limited ourselves to the examination of the intrinsic characteristics of the company. We omitted the institutional and legal framework. This would have required an international sample with different jurisdictions and degrees of shareholder protection. Contribution: This study contributes to cash holdings research in Morocco by exploring the reasons for holding cash through a sample of Moroccan non-financial companies that are listed on the Casablanca Stock Exchange for a period of 12 years (from 2007 to 2018).

A NOVEL APPROACH TO HEART ATTACK PREDICTION IMPROVEMENT VIA EXTREME LEARNING MACHINES CLASSIFIER INTEGRATED WITH DATA RESAMPLING STRATEGY
Authors: SAYGILI Ahmet
Published: December 2020

The heart attack is a disorder that is frequently seen in low-income countries and causes the death of many people. Cardiologists benefit from electrocardiography (ECG) tests to determine this condition. Supervised classification algorithms are frequently used and provide very successful results in computer-aided diagnostic systems. In this study, a new approach to predict a heart attack is proposed for classification via extreme learning machines (ELM) integrated with the resampling strategy. This study aims to reveal a new diagnostic system that will increase the success of current studies. The study has three basic steps. In order to determine the features that will ensure the system’s optimized operation, firstly, the ReliefF feature selection method was applied to the data set, and then, the system was modeled by different classifiers via resampling. Besides, the as-proposed approach was applied to the breast cancer data to test the accuracy of the current system. The as-obtained results from both Statlog (heart disease) and the breast cancer data were seemed to be more successful than the studies in the literature. Thus, the as-proposed system reveals a successful and effective approach that can be applied in clinical data sets.

Authors: Aulia Rahma Oktaviya  , Gatut Hardianto  , Budi Utomo  , Ivon Diah Wittiarika
Published: December 2020

Quality of life is important to achieve the best performance of mothers. Maternal quality of life is usually measured by WHOQOL-BREF standards (quality of life of the World Health Organization-BREF), SF-36 (Short-36), or MGI (Mother Generated Index). One factor that affects the maternal quality of life is breastfeeding. The practice of breastfeeding is the mother who is breastfeeding (giving only breast milk) and the mother who is not breastfeeding (with formula milk) as well as seeing the length of breastfeeding time for less than 6 months or more than 6 months. This literature review has research question with PICO standard to get the aim about the correlation between the practice of breastfeeding and maternal quality of life. 466 literatures were obtained from the SCOPUS, Proquest, Google Scholar, PubMed and EBSCOhost databases. Literature screening is done by looking at the inclusion and exclusion criteria that have been set so that 10 literatures will be reviewed. Most of the literature reports that mothers who breastfeed and continue to breastfeed even though only a month has a better quality of life than mothers who did not breastfeed. One study said that breastfeeding causes a decrease in the maternal quality of life, as well as several other studies that found no significant correlation between breastfeeding practices and maternal quality of life. This result can be used as a reference for the health policy to promote breastfeeding and quality of life.

De Juan Ambrosio Huerta a Mariano Holguín: episcopado, ultramontanismo y modernidad en Arequipa (1880-1935)
Authors: Iberico Ruiz Rolando
Published: December 2020

En el Perú, ante el avance de sectores liberales en Lima, Arequipa se constituyó como una ciudad baluarte del catolicismo. En este proceso, el episcopado jugó un papel clave como dinamizador de espacios de formación ultramontana para el clero y el laicado, de promoción de sociedades laicales apologéticas y ociales, de consolidación de prácticas piadosas y de construcción de una legitimidad pública para la Iglesia en la ciudad. En este sentido, este artículo estudia el proceso de afianzamiento del ultramontanismo y del catolicismo social de los episcopados de José Ambrosio Huerta, Manuel Ballón y Mariano Holguín. De esta manera, la Iglesia fortaleció su presencia en el espacio público regional y pudo articular un discurso sobre la modernidad desde la perspectiva católica, a favor de la presencia pública de la Iglesia como estructuradora de la vida política, social y moral en la ciudad.

Published: December 2020

Gambuh as the performing art in Malay area became one of the cultural transformation evidences of the close relation between Java and Malay. The history of gambuh performance in Malay area recorded in the archipelago’s manuscripts, one of them is a manuscript entitled Surat Gambuh which is being the collection of Leiden University Library. This paper attempts to examine the contents of the manuscript in order to reconstruct the gambuh performance art in Malay and also trace the historical aspects. As far as the research had been done, there have been no studies of this manuscript so it is necessary to first transliterate it using a critical method. Furthermore, the historical aspects are explored using a historical approach by adding data from other texts of Panji. The analysis result of the reflection of Malay gambuh performance rules and historical aspects show that there is a transformation of work from oral tradition to written tradition, the cultural acculturation between Java and Malay, and the Islamic influence behind Malay gambuh.
Sepak Terjang Bagus Rangin dalam Surat Dipati Natadireja Kepada Daendels (1808)
Authors: Ma'mun Titin Nurhayati , Hazmirullah Hazmirullah
Published: December 2020

In this article, we discuss a letter from a local official, named Raden Dipati Natadireja, to Governor-General Franco-Dutch Herman Willem Daendels (1808-1811). The letter written on 5 Jumadil akhir year of Dal 1223 AJ (July 25th, 1808) is a collection of the National Archives of the Republic of Indonesia and is coded ID-ANRI K66a, File 3569, Folio 39-42. Through the letter, Natadireja reported that many officials in Cirebon, especially low-ranking officials, joined the revolters. He also reported that the revolts were led by three respected figures, namely Kulur, Rangin, and Draham. In this research, the manuscript firstly was studied by using the philology theory that contain the method of manuscript study (codicology) and the method of text study (textology). Furthermore, the manuscript content was dialogued to the historical fact in the Cirebon Sultanate so that we obtained a complete understanding about context of writing the manuscript. The result shows that the wave of revolt had occurred since at least 1806 as the people of Cirebon could no longer stand the tyrannical treatment of colonial administration. On the other hand, the Chinese people actually get special treatment, especially in terms of land management.
Embodiment of Values
Authors: Bartier Jane , Gardiner Malcolm , Hannigan Shelley , Mathison Stewart
Published: December 2020

Relational, multi-modal conversations between the authors’ experiences of a damaged environmental site occur through different knowledge systems including life sciences, art, agriculture and environmental science. The authors respond to the risks of the dramatic impact of the loss of water flow in the Barwon River, Victoria, Australia. This is a river that flows through the Indigenous lands of Wathaurong, Gulidjan, and Gadubanud country from the Otway Ranges and near to one of Deakin University’s campuses. Early in this century, groundwater extraction dried a swamp wetland, generating toxic levels of acid and heavy metals which generated a major fish kill in 2016. Loss of water led to the aquifer site at Yeodene Swamp revealing great depths of peat that, when burning, follows underground peat layers (an unknown river path) and emerges to ignite new above-ground fires.
These issues and experience of dwelling in this part of Victoria inspire our embodied thinking, conversations, and art. They have prompted us to be ambitious in our actions—even provoking us to develop campaigns. Our value and respect for this place in the most holistic sense—geographic, experiential, spiritual, historical and biophilic—inspires us to come together to contextualise and apply responsibility, accountability, ethics, morality, justice and integrity. We respond to the question: What does embodiment of values look like in this context? Having brought this story into the 2019 Body of Knowledge Conference through walks and conversations by Gardiners Creek at Deakin University’s campus in Burwood, we have explored it further in this co-authored article.
Hidden Worlds
Authors: Rosenbaum J
Published: December 2020

This art project examines non-binary and transgender identity through training machines to generate art based on Greek and Roman statuary. The statuary is binary in nature and appeals to the concept of pinnacles of masculinity and femininity but what of those of us who fall between, what of transgender bodies, gender non-conforming and non-binary bodies and intersex bodies? 
Image recognition algorithms have a difficult time classifying people who fall outside the binary, those who don’t pass as cisgender and those who present in neutral or subversive ways. As image recognition becomes more prevalent, we need to have a past and a future for everyone who doesn’t fit neatly into one of the only two boxes on offer. We need to open up the categories, allow people to self-identify or to scrap the concept of gendering people mechanically all together.
As a spatial installation, Hidden Worlds also explores the embodiment of interactive augmented reality bodies in the space between physical and digital worlds. I have worked with a classifier and some deliberately abstract figure works, generated by machine, to explore where gender is assigned in the process and what it looks like when you aren’t neatly classified, and the disconnect that is felt when misgendered. The generated captions have flipped around gender and as the figure resolves and each section is submitted to the narrative writer you see a different set of pronouns, a disconnection between what you see and what you hear. I will explore the assumptions we make about classical art; the way it can inform how we represent gender minorities going forward and how art can illustrate the gaps that exist in the training of these important machine learning systems.
Performance and New Materialism: Towards an expanded notion of a non-human agency
Authors: Choat Alyssa
Published: December 2020

This research paper expands on new materialist notions of material agency within the context of practice-based creative research. New materialist thinking provides a recognition of the agency of non-human actors, and enables a focus on the dynamics of human and non-human relationships. A key concept of new materialist theory is a critical perspective on the binary of human and non-human, arguing that all matter resides within a form of incessant flow, in states of constant transformation. These renewed approaches to understanding matter has drawn from developments in science and physics exploring the nature of forces and networks that constitutes matter. In a world that is continuing to become more technologically reliant and scientifically developed, this research paper explores a non-human agency emerging within human and non-human interactions,  where human and non-human agents (spaces, materials, forces, etc) have efficacy in the co-construction of practices, events and figurations, drawn from looking at the nature of these relationships that unfolded in the performance works. In this paper I will be discussing two performances that were undertaken Material Interactions[i] and BodyBody Experiments [ii]. Considering these works within a theoretical framework of analysis which draws from New Materialist thinking on non-human agency

The Statement Of Health And Children Growth Behind Javanese Local Wisdoms
Authors: Firngadi Moetrarsi SK
Published: December 2020

Local wisdom emerges through internal processes and lasts a long time as a result of interactionsbetween humans and their environment. This long evolutionary process will lead to the emergenceof a crystallized value system in the form of common law, beliefs and local culture. Thus, in essencelocal wisdom is a norm that is adhered to in society which is believed in faith and becomes areference in everyday life. Local wisdom is the positive behavior of humans in interacting withnature and the local environment which comes from the values of religious customs, ancestraladvice or local culture, which are naturally built in a society to adapt to their local environment.This literature review aims to raise local wisdom in the form of traditions in Javanese society,especially those related to health and care for children.

The article is devoted to the functions of intermediality in the symbolist novels by D. S. Merezhkovsky (Christ and the Antichrist trilogy). Intermediality is considered as a constructive and structural basis of the novels and the principle of poetics.Visual images of art reflect the writer’s theurgical aesthetics and his conceptual religious-philosophical ideas. They are the basis of the mysteriological-mythological plot and perform functions of the symbolic “crossing” of various religions and cultures borders. The article concludes that intermediality in the structure of the symbolist novel creates media myth about sacred function of the art as a meta-text.
HIDDEN OBSERVER: ON ONE INVARIANT MOTIF IN PUSHKIN’S WORKS
Authors:   Kharkov V. N. Karazin National University, Zaslavskii O.B.
Published: December 2020

It is shown that the same scene or situation passes through Pushkin’s works in which an observer watching for two or more objects is present. If an object of dangerous observation is a woman, the scene, as a rule, ends up with her faint or death. The presence of such an observer can be considered as uncontrolled intrusion of fate into human’s life. Uncovering the scheme under consideration is especially important since poetics of Pushkin is extremely laconic, so even in a finished text one is led to reconstruct some implicit details. Then, a given invariant (related just to the property of reticence) can serve as a tool for independent check. In particular, its application agrees with interpretation of the final scene in “The Stone Guest” that was suggested by us earlier from completely different rationale.

The article describes the main verbal and non-verbal markers of insincerity in the oral discourse of representatives of Spanish linguistic culture. In the experimental part of the work it was revealed that the informants gestured and made facial movements more frequently when they reproduced the false information in comparison with the cases where the speakers read the text which they considered «truthful»; in addition to this, gestures were manifested more intensively in this case. In insincere discourse, informants also often changed the word order or made different lexical changes. Furthermore, a significant increase in the duration of the gaze at the interlocutor was also noticed during the informants’ reproduction of the false statements. These results of the research provide grounds for formulating a preliminary hypothesis that insincere communication has its own verbal and non-verbal markers which are accessible to observation and fixation, and further study in this sphere will contribute to the development of methods of attribution of statements and individual communicative fragments of «sincere» or «insincere» discourse.

ON THE HISTORY OF THE FORMATION OF ISTANBUL ICONOGRAPHY IN THE PAINTING OF AZERBAIJAN
Authors:   Azerbaijan State University of Culture and Arts, Kerimova S. A.
Published: December 2020

In the visual arts of Azerbaijan, the formation of the iconography of Istanbul is a multi-level and stage process. Its relevance is due to a number of factors of both the socio-ethnocultural aspect, historicism of relations, and creative searches of a personal nature. The purpose of the study of this article is to identify the context and the main priorities of the formation of the pictorial signature of Istanbul in Russian painting at certain stages of its development. The choice of the iconographic method as the main one made it possible to most clearly trace the specific semantics of the city, and also led to an appeal to the iconology of plots and genres associated with the image of Istanbul. The formation of canonical schemes took place against a complex background of a complex of historical mutual influences of related states, which necessitated the use of the diachronic method as one of the main tools. As a result, a rather capacious empirical base was analyzed, which included works of Azerbaijani painting from successive historical eras. Along with them, the initial base was considered, a series of interviews with the authors of the work was conducted. A generalization of the study was the conclusion that the image of Azerbaijani artistic creative consciousness was gradually formed, starting from the Middle Ages, within the framework of canonical art and against the background of constant close historical contact, which also led to periods of recession (Soviet period) in the development of themes. Stable positions during the new time are traditions of European romanticism, and in particular, Orientalism, reflected in the monumental painting of Azerbaijan. The stylistic and genre diversity is rapidly gaining momentum with a period of independence within the framework of both classical and postmodernism.
«FOR SOME A COUNT, FOR OTHERS A CITIZEN»: A.N. TOLSTOY SELF-PRESENTATION STRATEGI IN THE REVOLUTIONARY PERIOD (1917–1923)
Authors:   Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University named after V. P. Astafiev, Chekushin V. V.
Published: December 2020

The article analyzes the ambivalent strategy of A. N. Tolstoy’s self-presentation in the revolutionary years, which consisted in balancing the identities of a «count» (graf) and a «citizen» (grazhdanin). During this period, he could not decide on an ideological position, thus focusing on the reception of his rhetoric by both the democratic and conservative parts of society. The potential for playing with identities was already laid down in the abbreviation «gr.» (for “grazhdanin”). Only after leaving Russia did the writer briefly decided in favor of an unambiguous strategy of self- presentation, so he was perceived by emigration as the heir to the «noble» line of literature. Tolstoy’s strategy became ambiguous again after he joined the Bolshevik-loyal newspaper «Nakanune».

N-Sulfonyl amidines bearing 1,2,3-triazole, isoxazole, thiazole and pyridine substituents were successfully prepared for the first time by reactions of primary, secondary and tertiary heterocyclic thioamides with alkyl- and arylsulfonyl azides. For each type of thioamides a reliable procedure to prepare N-sulfonyl amidines in good yields was found. Reactions of 1-aryl-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbothioamides with azides were shown to be accompanied with a Dimroth rearrangement to form 1-unsubstituted 5-arylamino-1,2,3-triazole-4-N-sulfonylcarbimidamides. 2,5-Dithiocarbamoylpyridine reacts with sulfonyl azides to form a pyridine bearing two sulfonyl amidine groups.

Etika Profesi Akuntansi Dalam Pembentukan Karakter Bangsa
Authors: Widaningsih Sri
Published: December 2020

Ekonomi Islam mempunyai tujuan untuk memberikan keselarasan bagi kehidupan di dunia. Nilai Islam bukan semata-semata hanya untuk kehidupan muslim saja, tetapi seluruh mahluk hidup di muka bumi. Akuntansi merupakan domain “muamalah” dalam kajian ekonomi Islam. Namun karena pentingya permasalahan ini maka Allah SWT bahkan memberikannya tempat dalam kitab suci Al-Qur’an, Al-Baqarah ayat 282. Ayat ini sebagai lambang komoditi ekonomi yang mempunyai sifat akuntansi. Akuntansi merupakan bidang pekerjaan yang melahirkan profesi tersendiri, setiap individu yang bergelut dalam aktivitas ini, sering kita sebut sebagai akuntan, dimana dalam proses pelaksanaan tugas keprofesiannya tidak terlepas dari aturannya, nilai dan norma yang mengikatnya, dan hal tersebut lebih dikenal sebagai etika. Proses pengembangan etika ini dirumuskan oleh organisasi induk yang ada di Indonesia, sedangkan Indonesia sebagai negara dengan jumlah penduduk yang sebagian besarnya adalah muslim. Maka etika yang dirumuskan seyogyanya senantiasa merujuk pada nafas dan ajaran yang telah diajarkan dalam Islam, sehingga kedepan hal tersebut mampu berkembang sebagai nilai yang mampu membentuk karakter seorang akuntan, lebih jauh lagi karakter tersebut mampu membentuk pola yang telah dan sedang dikembangkan di Indonesia yaitu pola pengembangan karakter bangsa dalam setiap lini kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegaranya.
