Theism and Realism: A Match Made in Heaven?
Authors: Hewitt Simon Thomas
Published: December 2018

There is no interesting entailment either way between theism and various forms of realism. Taking its cue from Dummett’s characterisation of realism and his discussion of it with respect to theistic belief, this paper argues both that theism does not follow from realism, and that God cannot be appealed to in order to secure bivalence for an otherwise indeterminate subject matter. In both cases, significant appeal is made to the position that God is not a language user, which in turn is motivated by an account of understanding as aptitude possession. The resulting picture sits comfortably with the apophatism common within living religious traditions and with the view that the philosophy of religion ought to reorientate itself away from metaphysics towards more practical questions.
Is The God-World Relationship Based on Unilateral or Reciprocal Causation?
Authors: Bracken S.J. Jospeh
Published: December 2018

In this article, I set forth my understanding of reciprocal causality between God and  finite entities in three stages, beginning with Aristotle’s  analysis of change in this world.  Afterwards, I examine the way in which Aquinas used the causal scheme of Aristotle in his Christian understanding of the God-world relationship. Finally, I indicate how  both  Aristotle’s philosophy and Aquinas’s approach to the God-world relationship should be rethought so as to be more in line with contemporary scientific understanding of the evolution of life from non-life and the emergence of  progressively higher-order life-systems out of lower-order life-systems within creation.

Published: December 2018

NiO nanoparticles were fabricated by sol-gel route using ammonium hydroxide and nickel nitrate as precursors. The NiO nanoparticles were calcinated at 400 °C and 1000 °C. The nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), thermogravimetry analysis/differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA). The structural properties were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD confirmed the formation of well-crystallized and high purity NiO phase. The XRD showed that the peaks were sharpened and the crystallite size increased as the calcination temperature increased. The average crystallite size ranged from 12 nm to 20 nm, when calcined at temperatures 400 °C and 1000 °C, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) revealed the chemical composition and confirmed the formation of NiO nanoparticles. The nanoparticles showed paramagnetic behavior.

Published: December 2018

One of the most important functions performed by drilling fluid is the removal of cutting from the bottom of the hole to the surface. This function must be performed efficiently if not, the cuttings produced during drilling process will accumulate in the annulus. This problem in directional drilling is featured by gravitational forces. Problems resulting from inefficient cutting transport include pipe stuck, wear of bit, reduction in penetration rate, high torque and drag with many other problems encountered. In high angle deviated wells, the cutting goes through a complex path to the surface where some of the cuttings gravitate to the low side of the well. Reduction in any problem associated with improper cutting transport require good understanding in cutting transport mechanisms. This research focuses on calculating the minimum annular velocity of drilling fluid and minimum pump flow rate which is required to achieve hole- cleaning and lifting of the cutting to the surface, taking into consideration the main parameters that affect the coring capacity of the drilling fluid, for this purpose, data of a deviated well (X) located in Kurdistan region of Iraq is collected to determine slip velocity, annular velocity, critical flow rate and carrying capacity index taking in consideration the mud used and the angle of the deviation using the drilling formula spread sheet V1.6.

Authors: Fahuzan Khomarudin , Ralmugiz Uke
Published: December 2018

This research aims to establish a control system on blender by using fuzzy control system with mamdani method. In this study, researchers used input in the form of hardness level and volume of fruit to be blend, while the output is blend time (0 to 180 seconds) with assumption of constant blender velocity). Researchers used fuzzy inference control system with Mamdani method with some stages: fuzzification, inference, rule base, and defuzzification. Fuzzification changes the hardness of the fruit and the volume into a value. Inference created fuzzy output using pre-made rules. Defuzzification counted the time it takes to blend into output. Based on the results of the research, the results obtained for the sample of fruit with a level of hardness of 40%, and volume 4 (400 ml), in obtaining the minimum time required to smooth the fruit about 79 seconds. Thus the fuzzy control system can be used as an innovation to make the control system in blender. This system not only applies to blenders only, but also can be applied to other machines using fuzzy control system.

Polythiophene Doping of Metal-Organic Frameworks Using Innate MOF-Catalyzed Oxidative Polymerization
Authors: Marshall Nicholas , James William , Fulmer Jeremy , Crittenden Scott , Rowe Gerard T.
Published: December 2018

The copper- and iron-containing metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) HKUST-1 and MIL-100(Fe) absorb organic molecules into their pores. When loaded with electron-rich oligothiophenes, these MOFs react under heat to initiate oxidative polymerization of entrapped monomers. This reaction is not observed in the non-redox-active MOF MIL-100(Al). The resulting MOF composites contain conjugated polymer dopants trapped inside their pores, causing profound shifts in the composite electronic structure. We have characterized the composites by infrared, Raman, and UV-visible spectroscopy and examined their structure using confocal microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Reasoning from TD-DFT calculations of an HKUST-1 model system bound to monomers, we rationalize the observed reactivity and propose an initiation mechanism based on a ligand-to-metal charge transfer state.
Variable-Temperature Multinuclear Solid-State NMR Study of Oxide Ion Dynamics in Fluorite-Type Bismuth Vanadate and Phosphate Solid Electrolytes
Authors: Dunstan Matthew , Halat David M. , Tate Matthew , Evans Ivana Radosavljevic , Grey Clare P.
Published: December 2018

In this study, we employ a multinuclear, variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy approach to characterise and measure oxide ionic motion in the V- and P-substituted bismuth oxide materials Bi0.913V0.087O1.587, Bi0.852V0.148O1.648 and Bi0.852P0.148O1.648, previously shown to have excellent ionic conduction properties. Two main 17O NMR resonances are distinguished for each material, corresponding to O in the Bi–O and V–O/P–O sublattices. Using variable-temperature (VT) measurements ranging from room temperature to 923 K, the ionic motion experienced by these different sites has then been characterised, with coalescence of the two environments in the V-substituted materials clearly indicating a conduction mechanism facilitated by exchange between the two sublattices. The lack of this coalescence in the P-substituted material indicates a different mechanism, confirmed by 17O T1 (spin-lattice relaxation) NMR experiments to be driven purely by vacancy motion in the Bi–O sublattice. 51V and 31P VT-NMR experiments show high rates of tetrahedral rotation even at room temperature, increasing with heating. An additional VO4 environment appears in 17O and 51V NMR spectra of the more highly V-substituted Bi0.852V0.148O1.648, which we ascribe to differently distorted VO4 tetrahedral units that disrupt the overall ionic motion, consistent both with linewidth analysis of the 17O VT-NMR spectra and experimental results of Kuang et al. showing a lower oxide ionic conductivity in this material compared to Bi0.913V0.087O1.587 (Chem. Mater. 2012, 24, 2162). This study shows solid-state NMR is particularly well suited to understanding connections between local structural features and ionic mobility, and can quantify the evolution of oxide-ion dynamics with increasing temperature.

De novo DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) plays pivotal roles in hematopoietic differentiation. In this study, we followed the hypothesis that alternative splicing ofDNMT3Ahas characteristic epigenetic and functional sequels. SpecificDNMT3Atranscripts were either down-regulated or overexpressed in human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, and this resulted in complementary and transcript-specific DNA methylation and gene expression changes. Functional analysis indicated that, particularly, transcript 2 (coding for DNMT3A2) activates proliferation and induces loss of a primitive immunophenotype, whereas transcript 4 interferes with colony formation of the erythroid lineage. Notably, in acute myeloid leukemia expression of transcript 2 correlates with its in vitro DNA methylation and gene expression signatures and is associated with overall survival, indicating thatDNMT3Avariants also affect malignancies. Our results demonstrate that specificDNMT3Avariants have a distinct epigenetic and functional impact. Particularly, DNMT3A2 triggers hematopoietic differentiation and the corresponding signatures are reflected in acute myeloid leukemia.
KEABSAHAN KUASA UNTUK MENANDATANGANI AKTA OLEH LEMBAGA PEMBIAYAAN JAMINAN FIDUSIA SUATU KAJIAN PERATURAN PEMERINTAH NOMOR 21 TAHUN 2015
Authors: Ahmad Fandy
Published: December 2018

ABSTRAK

 

Praktek pembuatan surat kuasa membebankan fidusia di bawah tangan oleh lembaga pembiayaan sangat marak terjadi dengan pertimbangan lembaga pembiayaan dapat sewaktu-waktu memasang akta jaminan fidusia apabila debitor terlihat menunjukkan gejala wanprestasi. Terkait dengan praktek pembuatan surat kuasa ini, Undang-Undang Jaminan Fidusia sama sekali tidak mengatur hal tersebut.

Permasalahan penelitian ini tentang bagaimana keabsahan surat kuasa membebankan fidusia di bawah tangan yang digunakan untuk menandatangani akta oleh lembaga pembiayaan dan akibat hukum terhadap sertifikat fidusia yang telah diperoleh lembaga pembiayaan, apabila pada saat pembuatan akta fidusianya didasari dengan surat kuasa membebankan fidusia di bawah tangan. Metode pendekatan yang digunakan adalah penelitian yuridis normatif yang merupakan penelitian deskriptif analitis. Jenis data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder. Metode pengumpulan data meliputi studi kepustakaan dan studi dokumentasi yang kemudian dianalisis secara kualitatif.

Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini, penggunaan surat kuasa membebankan fidusia di bawah tangan sebagai dasar pembuatan akta fidusia oleh lembaga pembiayaan selama ini tidak dapat dibenarkan menurut hukum. Walapun Undang-Undang Jaminan Fidusia tidak mengaturnya, hal ini bukan berarti penggunaan surat kuasa membebankan fidusia di bawah tangan dapat dibenarkan. Akibat hukum yang timbul dari pembuatan akta fidusia berdasarkan surat kuasa di bawah tangan membawa konsekuensi dapat tidak diperolehnya hak-hak istimewa lembaga pembiayaan selaku kreditor sebagaimana dijanjikan oleh undang-undang.

A total of 342 students from four high school students in Banda Aceh was selected using Multi-Stage Cluster and Non-Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling. Mental health and religiosity were measured using Mental Health Inventory adapted from Veit and Ware, and Religiosity Scale developed by researchers from Muslim religiosity theory by Hamzah et al., respectively.  Data was analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Result of the study found that religiosity was significantly contributed to adolescents’ mental health (β=0,29, p<0.01), indicated that higher score on religiosity scale was followed by higher score on mental health. Meanwhile, sex (β=-0,04, p>0,05) and age (β=0,04, p>0,05)  did not predict mental health in the present study. It showed that a sense of connectedness to God and higher level of religious involvement play an important role on adolescents’ mental health. Findings of the study give a valuable information  for the development of mental health promotions for adolescents, particularly in Banda Aceh.

The collage students who accomplish the undergraduate thesis will face many demands and obstacles and lead them to some difficulties if they perform low optimism. The aim of this study was measuring the relationship between humor style and optimism among the Engineering students at State University of Makassar who accomplish the undergraduate thesis. The participants of this study were 231 collage students from Engineering Faculty at State University of Makassar. Sampling technique used in this study was accidental sampling with quantitative method. The result of this study showed that affiliative humor style positively related to optimism (r=0,314,p=0,000), self enhancing humor positively related to optimism (r=0,155,p=0,018), aggressive humor negatively correlated with optimism (r=-0,324,p=0,000), and self-defeating humor negatively correlated with optimism (r=-0,163,p=0,013). This study proved that affiliative humor and self-enhancing humor can increase the optimism. In contrast, aggressive and self-defeating humor can diminish the optimism among the students.

En el Caribe colombiano no ha habido progresos significativos sobre el estudio de la amenaza por tsunami, debido a la baja actividad sísmica que se presenta en esta zona. Sin embargo, según los registros históricos, no se encuentra exenta de la ocurrencia de este tipo de fenómenos naturales que pueden causar pérdidas económicas y de vidas humanas. Por esta razón, en la presente investigación se realizó la simulación numérica de siete posibles escenarios sísmicos generadores de tsunami ubicados en el mar Caribe, utilizando el modelo numérico COMCOT, obtenidos a partir de una aproximación determinista, con el fin de generar los escenarios de inundación por tsunami para la ciudad de Cartagena.
PARMENIDES’ THEORY OF NON-BEING AS A HISTORIC-PHILOSOPHICAL CORE OF PLOTINUS’ HENOLOGY
Authors: Bogomolov A. V.
Published: December 2018

Introduction:immediacy of the problem of non-being for philosophy is givenness. Parmenides’ ontology is the origin of the problem of non-being in Western-European tradition. It was Parmenides who enunciated the first conceptual idea of non-being in the history of Western-European tradition. This intention became the basis for onto-epistemological searching of philosophers of the following epochs. This paper goes to the understudied problem of reception of Parmenides’ theory of non-being in Plotinus’ henology.

Materials and Methods:the problem approach is defining. Its employment is quite specific when it is referred to searching of the problem of non-being within the history of philosophy. This paper insists on the importance of a distinction of the concepts “category of non-being” and “problem of non-being” and uses the category such as “theory of non-being”. Parmenides’ theory of not-being is taken to mean as the presence of both the problem of non-being and its solution.

Research findings:the key point of Eleatic theory of non-being is the dialectic of being and non-being where the following pattern is uncovered. All the characteristics of being are ontologically possible as non-being is rejected. This principle is present in Plotinus’ henology too. The authentic nature of the All is transcendental. Transcendence of the All stipulates Its apophatic in the immanence.

Discussions and conclusions:the origin of Plotinus’ henology is the Platonic philosophy. The same goes for the apophatic theology of the All. However, Platonism is not the only source of Plotinus’ theory of the All. The author shows that Parmenides’ theory of non-being is one of the cores of this intention. The apophatic of non-being and the apophatic theology of the All stipulate existence itself in Parmenides’ ontology and transcendence of the All in Plotinus’ henology. This is the principle which makes it possible to state reception of Parmenides’ theory of non-being in Plotinus’ henology.
EXPERIENCE OF QUESTIONNAIRE OF REPRESENTATIVES "VOLGA‘S PAGAN"
Authors: Shizhenskiy R. V. , Surovegina E. S.
Published: December 2018

Introduction:the article is devoted to the consideration of the ideological characteristics of members of the Volga pagan communities, "Rodnoverov-individuals" belonging to the union "Volga Frontier". June 23-24, 2018 employees of the research laboratory "New religious movements in modern Russia and Europe" of the Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University. Kozma Minin conducted a questionnaire among ordinary members of the cult environment of modern Russian paganism who took part in the celebration of the summer solstice (floodplain of the Kudma river, Mikhalchikovo village, Kstovsky district, Nizhny Novgorod region). The celebration was attended by 65 people, a representative sample represented by 45 respondents. The questionnaire consisted of four semantic blocks and included 18 questions, both open and closed. The article covers all the blocks of the questionnaire.

Materials and methods:analyzed the ideological features of the community association "Volzhsky frontier". On the basis of the verbal-communicative method (complete questionnaire), assessments of the characteristics of social and cultural identities, the attitude of the pagans to the organizational structure of the “birth-faith” movement, and state power are presented. Taking into account the specificity of the comparative historical method, the chronological framework of the golden age is considered, the “historical face of Russia” is defined.

Results:analysis of the obtained data allowed: first, to identify the features of the social portrait of a participant in Nizhny Novgorod Kupala (gender, age, education, occupation, etc.). Secondly, to form an idea of the views of the "Rodnovers" on issues related to the organizational structure of the movement, interaction of pagans with government bodies, the media. Thirdly, determine the type of cultural identity of the considered pagan community of the 21st century. Fourthly, to establish the chronological framework of the "young-speaking" golden age and the associated gradation of domestic historical figures.

Discussion and Conclusions:according to the data of the questionnaire, the modern “Volga pagan” is duplicated in the mass of ideological projections, are in the same ideological field, with separate organizations, unions of the communities of central Russia. The unity of the main religious, social and political strata allows us to state a certain unified Russian neo-pagan field, independent of the chronology of the origin and geographical localization of groups.

Background

Genotyping of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) is essential for surveillance to monitor NG transmission and dissemination of resistant strains. Current genotyping methods rely on bacterial culture which frequently fails.

Aim

Our aim was to develop a culture-free genotyping method that is compatible with the widely used N. gonorrhoeae multi-antigen sequence typing (NG-MAST) database, which facilitates genotyping of NG detected at separate anatomical sites in individual patients.

Methods

Specific primers for both PCR targets porB and tbpB were designed and technically validated by assessing the analytical sensitivity, cross-reactivity with 32 non-gonoccocal Neisseria species, and concordance with NG-MAST. Clinical application was assessed on 205 paired samples from concurrent NG infections at different anatomical sites of 98 patients (81 men who have sex with men and 17 women) visiting our sexually transmitted infections clinic.

Results

Typing could be consistently performed on samples with a PCR quantification cycle (Cq) value <35. Furthermore, the method showed no cross-reactivity and was concordant with NG-MAST. Culture-free NG-MAST improved the typing rate from 62% (59/95) for cultured samples to 94% (89/95) compared with culture-dependent NG-MAST. Paired samples of 80 of 98 patients were genotyped, revealing distinct NG strains in separate anatomical sites in 25% (20/80) of the patients.

Conclusions

This NG-specific genotyping method can improve NG surveillance as it facilitates genotyping of non-culturable and extra-genital samples. Furthermore, 25% of patients were infected with multiple NG strains, which is missed in current culture-dependent surveillance. Including non-culturable and concurrent NG infections in surveillance informs actions on dissemination of multidrug-resistant NG strains.
