Electron transfer reaction of Tris(1,10-phenanthroline) cobalt(III) complex [Co(phen)3]3+ and thiosulphate ion (S2O32âˆ’) in an aqueous acidic medium
Authors: R. Osunkwo C , U. Nkole I , D. Onu A , O. Idris S
Published: June 2018

The electron transfer reaction of Tris (1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(III) complex by thiosulphate ion has been studied in an aqueous acidic medium. Stoichiometric determination shows that for one mole of the oxidant that was reduced, one mole of the reductant was consumed; the reaction conforms to an overall equation:Â 2[Co(phen)3]3+ + 2S2O32âˆ’ â†’ 2[Co(phen)3]2+ + S4O62âˆ’Â Kinetics study carried out under pseudo-first order condition shows that the reaction proceeded via a one-way acid-dependent pathway and was third order overall; zero order with respect to the oxidant concentration, second order with respect to the reductant concentration and first order with respect to the hydrogen ion concentration. The empirical rate law conforms to the equation:Â âˆ’ Â  {Co(phen)3}3+] = a [H+] [S2O32âˆ’]2Â â€˜aâ€™ = 128.26 dm6 molâˆ’2 sâˆ’1: at [H+] = 2.0 Ã— 10âˆ’2 mol dmâˆ’3, Âµ = 0.4 mol dmâˆ’3 (NaCl), T = 28 Â± 1ËšC and Î»max = 495 nm.The rate of reaction increased at the increase in ionic strength and at the decrease in medium dielectric constant. Added cations and anions catalyzed and inhibited the reaction rates respectively. The Michaelis-Menten plot of 1/k1 versus 1/[S2O32âˆ’]2 started from the origin. Hence based on spectroscopic investigation, thermodynamic information from temperature dependence studies and kinetic evidence from Michaelisâ€“Menten plots and the interactions with added ions, an outer-sphere mechanism has been rationalized for this reaction. The mechanistic scheme of the reaction was proposed via the stated mechanistic route.Â Â Â
Using Causal Diagrams to Foster Systems Thinking in Geography Education
Authors: Cox Marjolein , Steegen An , Elen Jan
Published: June 2018

To gain insight into complex sustainability problems and acknowledge complexity is essential and can be achieved by creating an overview of the entire system, including interaction between variables. Therefore, systems thinking is recognized as a vital cognitive skill required to grasp complex global problems. Nevertheless, the implementation of systems thinking into general education, and geography in particular, is sadly limited. Encouraging students to use appropriate tools will probably help them understand systems complexity. A lesson series to foster systems thinking in a Belgian high school geography course was developed and implemented. In this design, produced by researchers in consultation with teachers, students were required to elaborate causal diagrams based on original texts and graphs of complex geographical issues. Causal diagrams are expected to support the development of students’ systems thinking ability. The interpretation of the information sources from a geographical, and thus multidimensional perspective, is the core of inquiry-based instruction aimed at fostering systems thinking. By describing the gradual use of causal diagrams as a tool to visually represent given data, this article contributes an example of this scaffolding technique in geography education. In addition to a description of the lesson series itself, we also discuss how decisions in the design process were influenced by theoretical as well as practical aspects of geography education in Flanders (Belgium). Furthermore, first reflections on the implementation are illustrated.

Dear producers and consumers of knowledge,

I would like to share the happiness of being with you again with 8th Volume 3th Issue of Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction (PEGEGOG). I hope you could find time to have a rest after your busy schedule. Initially, I want to thank you for the increasing interest for our journal.

There has been 65 articles sent for publication to our journal. I'm pleased to inform you in this issue that the journal's h-index rose to 16. This is good news for our journal and country. On the other hand, I have to indicate that there were critical problems in terms of format within these articles as stated in the previous issue. First of all, unfortunately we had to reject some articles as in many of them there were texts very similar to ones in different articles. At first step, we scan all articles in i-Thenticate program to determine the exact quotations from other resources. After this scan, we reject the articles detected to have exact quotations at a high rate without initiating peer-review process. Apart from that, we also send back the articles not written in an academic format not to disturb our reviewers unnecessarily.

One of the problems with the articles submitted to our journal and we had to reject was about data analysis. The data is the raw information collected from related resources through research aims. These should be analyzed in parallel with these aims. It is necessary to analyze them using statistics for quantitative data and methods such as content analysis or descriptive analysis for qualitative data. Analysis provides the data being transformed into findings and make sense. Especially, in some of document analysis and some qualitative studies, it is seen that data are presented as findings. In some others, data are presented being only described. It is essential that the studies are formed in an article format obeying the rules by the journal and presented for publication afterwards.

As always, we present the six articles got through peer-review process and given DOI number to you dear producers and consumers of knowledge. I wish these studies conducted in various fields of educational sciences will be useful and contribute to theoretical knowledge within the field. Hope to meet within the next issue.

Sincerely yours,

Experimental Results of Vibroacoustic Diagnosis Performed with Vibro-Expert System
Authors: Rusa Ionel , Marin Cornel , Baidoc Marius
Published: June 2018

The implementation of proactive maintenance is a necessity required by the development of modern technologies for the monitoring and exploitation of energy facilities and equipment. An important advantage of proactive maintenance is to permanently monitor the technical condition of the plant and equipment by vibration measurements and in the correct diagnosis in order to reasonably plan the required repairs. Turbo-aggregates are autonomous complex installations for producing electricity in refineries that operate in high power and high-speed modes. To monitor and control turbine vibrations, vibration sensors (uniaxial, biaxial and triaxial accelerometers) and proximity sensors (for relative displacements and lasers) are columned on bearing housings that transmit signals to data acquisition and processing systems as well is the Vibro-Expret diagnosis system presented in this paper.
The metanorm, a characteristic subgroup: Embedding properties
Authors: De Falco Maria , de Giovanni Francesco , Kurdachenko Leonid A. , Musella Carmela
Published: June 2018

The norm of a group was introduced by R. Baer as the intersection of all normalizers of subgroups, and it was later proved that the norm is always contained in the second term of the upper central series of the group. The aim of this paper is to study embedding properties of the metanorm of a group, defined as the intersection of all normalizers of non-abelian subgroups. The metanorm is related to the so-called metahamiltonian groups, i.e. groups in which all non-abelian subgroups are normal, and it is known that every locally graded metahamiltonian group is finite over its second centre. Among other results, it is proved here that if G is a locally graded group whose metanorm M is not nilpotent, then

Related factors of early mortality in young adults with cerebral hemorrhage
Authors: Zhou Hong Xia , Hao Nina , Xu Xiao Lin
Published: June 2018

Background

The main causes of intracerebral hemorrhage differ between young adults and older adults. Data regarding potential targets for early intervention in young adult patients with intracerebral hemorrhage are lacking.

Methods

We retrospectively analysed data for 196 young adult patients with intracerebral hemorrhage who were admitted to Tianjin Huanhu Hospital and died within 30 days of admission between June 2005 and June 2015. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to calculate survival rate, and the log-rank test was used to determine survival rate significance. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses.

Results

Univariate analysis revealed a statistically significant association of age, disturbance of consciousness, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and Glasgow Coma Scale scores, seizure occurrence, infratentorial hemorrhage, intraventricular extension, hernia, glucose level, white blood cell count, albumin level, creatinine level, uric acid level, and surgical treatment with early mortality (P<0.05). However, multivariate regression analysis revealed that only infratentorial hemorrhage (P=0.003) and intraventricular extension (P=0.003) were significant risk factors for early mortality.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that young adult patients who exhibit infratentorial hemorrhage and intraventricular extension in the early stages of intracerebral hemorrhage onset exhibit an increased risk of early mortality.

Abstracts

Nowadays, whether we discuss either adult education or continuing training we possess comprehensive knowledge of the input side of the trainings. We have detailed data of the accredited institutions, instructors, the structure, content and operational indicators of the trainings, still we know less of the drop-outs, absentees and the reasons for the low participation rate in adult education. We have minimal information even when we analyse the existing data concerning the outcome of the successfully finished adult educational programs.
A statistical method for measuring activation of gene regulatory networks
Authors: Esteves Gustavo H. , Reis Luiz F. L.
Published: June 2018

Motivation: Gene expression data analysis is of great importance for modern molecular biology, given our ability to measure the expression profiles of thousands of genes and enabling studies rooted in systems biology. In this work, we propose a simple statistical model for the activation measuring of gene regulatory networks, instead of the traditional gene co-expression networks. Results: We present the mathematical construction of a statistical procedure for testing hypothesis regarding gene regulatory network activation. The real probability distribution for the test statistic is evaluated by a permutation based study. To illustrate the functionality of the proposed methodology, we also present a simple example based on a small hypothetical network and the activation measuring of two KEGG networks, both based on gene expression data collected from gastric and esophageal samples. The two KEGG networks were also analyzed for a public database, available through NCBI-GEO, presented as Supplementary Material. Availability: This method was implemented in an R package that is available at the BioConductor project website under the name maigesPack.
Bayesian inference of selection in the Wright-Fisher diffusion model
Authors: Gory Jeffrey J. , Herbei Radu , Kubatko Laura S.
Published: June 2018

The increasing availability of population-level allele frequency data across one or more related populations necessitates the development of methods that can efficiently estimate population genetics parameters, such as the strength of selection acting on the population(s), from such data. Existing methods for this problem in the setting of the Wright-Fisher diffusion model are primarily likelihood-based, and rely on numerical approximation for likelihood computation and on bootstrapping for assessment of variability in the resulting estimates, requiring extensive computation. Recent work has provided a method for obtaining exact samples from general Wright-Fisher diffusion processes, enabling the development of methods for Bayesian estimation in this setting. We develop and implement a Bayesian method for estimating the strength of selection based on the Wright-Fisher diffusion for data sampled at a single time point. The method utilizes the latest algorithms for exact sampling to devise a Markov chain Monte Carlo procedure to draw samples from the joint posterior distribution of the selection coefficient and the allele frequencies. We demonstrate that when assumptions about the initial allele frequencies are accurate the method performs well for both simulated data and for an empirical data set on hypoxia in flies, where we find evidence for strong positive selection in a region of chromosome 2L previously identified. We discuss possible extensions of our method to the more general settings commonly encountered in practice, highlighting the advantages of Bayesian approaches to inference in this setting.
Deutschlands Rolle im internationalen Handel mit konventionellen Waffen und Rüstungsgütern: Sind wir die „Waffenkammer der Welt“?
Authors: Krause Joachim
Published: June 2018

Kurzfassung:

Der Artikel setzt sich mit der Rolle der Bundesrepublik im internationalen Handel mit konventionellen Waffen auseinander. Dabei werden drei immer wieder zu vernehmende Behauptungen anhand der vorhandenen statistischen Daten und wissenschaftlichen Analysen überprüft: (1) Deutschland sei drittgrößter Exporteur von Waffen und Rüstungsgütern; (2) Deutschland sei weltweit der zweitgrößte Exporteur von Kleinwaffen; und (3) deutsche Rüstungsexporte würden zur Entstehung, zur Eskalation und Verlängerung von Kriegen sowie zu Rüstungswettläufen beitragen. Der Beitrag gelangt zu dem Ergebnis, dass keine dieser Behauptungen einer kritischen Prüfung standhält. Bedauerlich ist nur, wie sehr falsche Behauptungen und Unterstellungen selbst von seriösen Medien übernommen werden und in den politischen Diskurs eingehen.
Toward anti-colonial food policy in Canada? (Im)possibilities within the settler state
Authors: Kepkiewicz Lauren , Rotz Sarah
Published: June 2018

This perspective piece teases out some of the tensions between the development of a national food policy, which has gained significant traction in Canada over the past few years, and Indigenous food sovereignty, which long predates the Canadian government and its policies and has a rich history and current practice of organizing. Drawing from our observations and discussions at conferences, workshops, and events, and pointing to key aspects of discourse commonly embedded in such discussions, we critically reflect on how settler engagements with Indigenous peoples in developing a national food policy may reify, rather than dismantle, colonial relationships. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of process and the ability for settlers to accept discomfort and incommensurability if we are to move towards spaces that embody solidarity, respect, and resistance.
From bitter to sweet: Continuing the conversation on Indigenous food sovereignty through sharing stories, engaging communities, and embracing culture
Authors: Skinner Kelly , Martens Tabitha Robin , Cidro Jaime , Burnett Kristin
Published: June 2018

The desire to undertake a special issue on Indigenous Food arose during a conversation that took place between the co-editors following a panel on the same topic at the annual conference of the Native American Indigenous Studies Association in 2015. The panel contained a mixture of conversations that focused on the meanings and relationships of Indigenous peoples with land and food; the efforts and importance of re-knowing and re-defining those relationships through stories centred around community and family; and the ways in which settler colonialism operates to undermine Indigenous food sovereignty at both the structural and epistemological levels.
Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni): un aditivo natural efectivo en avicultura?
Authors: Peralta María F. , Nilson Armando , Grosso Viviana , Soltermann Arnaldo , Miazzo Raúl D.
Published: June 2018

En avicultura, la restricción de usar antibióticos promotores del crecimiento tanto en el nivel nacional como internacional y la demanda de los consumidores de productos naturales, han originado la búsqueda de aditivos de origen natural. Así surgen distintos agregados dietarios, denominados en su conjunto promotores naturales del crecimiento (PNC), que comprenden prebióticos, probióticos, simbióticos, ácidos orgánicos, enzimas y fitogénicos. Dentro de estos últimos, encontramos la Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni), endulzante en humanos, que en animales de interés productivo aumenta la eficiencia productiva de los mismos. Además, según se utilicen los tallos, las hojas o sus extractos, empleando diferentes metodologías de extracción, se obtienen variados componentes bioactivos con distintos mecanismos de acción. En general, dichos componentes presentan propiedades antioxidantes, antimicrobianas, antitumorales y antifúngicas; inclusive tienen efectos positivos sobre el sistema inmunológico. En aves, estos compuestos bioactivos mejoran la eficiencia productiva en pollos, sobre todo en las primeras semanas de vida y en adultos no dejan residuos en la carne o los huevos para mejorar la salud intestinal de las aves en las primeras semanas de vida. De este modo, la Stevia o sus compuestos bioactivos serían buenas alternativas para mejorar la salud intestinal en las primeras semanas de vida, lo que se reflejaría posteriormente en una mayor eficiencia productiva y mejor calidad de la canal en aves adultas.

Is smartphone addiction really an addiction?
Authors: Panova Tayana , Carbonell Xavier
Published: June 2018

Aims

In light of the rise in research on technological addictions and smartphone addiction in particular, the aim of this paper was to review the relevant literature on the topic of smartphone addiction and determine whether this disorder exists or if it does not adequately satisfy the criteria for addiction.

Methods

We reviewed quantitative and qualitative studies on smartphone addiction and analyzed their methods and conclusions to make a determination on the suitability of the diagnosis “addiction” to excessive and problematic smartphone use.

Results

Although the majority of research in the field declares that smartphones are addictive or takes the existence of smartphone addiction as granted, we did not find sufficient support from the addiction perspective to confirm the existence of smartphone addiction at this time. The behaviors observed in the research could be better labeled as problematic or maladaptive smartphone use and their consequences do not meet the severity levels of those caused by addiction.

Discussion and conclusions

Addiction is a disorder with severe effects on physical and psychological health. A behavior may have a similar presentation as addiction in terms of excessive use, impulse control problems, and negative consequences, but that does not mean that it should be considered an addiction. We propose moving away from the addiction framework when studying technological behaviors and using other terms such as “problematic use” to describe them. We recommend that problematic technology use is to be studied in its sociocultural context with an increased focus on its compensatory functions, motivations, and gratifications.

Published: June 2018

Abstract The objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of actinic cheilitis among extractive mining workers and factors associated with the condition, especially the relationship between clinical appearance and the length of occupational exposure to sunlight. A cross-sectional study was performed in Dona Inês, Paraíba, Brazil between 2014 and 2015. A clinical examination, clinical photography and a questionnaire were applied to 201 extractive mining workers. The T-student’s, ANOVA one-way, Fisher’s exact and Pearson chi-squared tests were performed and the significance level was set at 5%. A high prevalence of actinic cheilitis was observed (38.8%). Length of occupational exposure to sunlight in months (169.63±112.68, p=0.002) was associated with actinic cheilitis. Most workers were Caucasian (p<0.001) and aged 37.41±12.15 years (p=0.004). The time of occupational exposure to sunlight was significant in relation to the following clinical features: atrophy (225.75±97.31; p=0.024); blurred demarcation between the vermilion border of the lip and the skin (186.68±113.15; p=0.032); vertical fissures (210.09±123.07; p=0.046); white and red spotting (199.51±91.80; p=0.004); hard consistency of the lip (225.81±122.34; p=0.012). A high prevalence of actinic cheilitis was found. Age and ethnicity were associated with the presence of AC. Severe clinical presentations of actinic cheilitis were found among participants who had worked for at least 185 months (approximately 15 years) exposed to the sun.

Published: June 2018

Abstract This study investigated the bond strength of two experimental root canal sealers based on MTA and butyl ethylene glycol disalicylate: MTAe and MTAe-HA. The reference materials used for comparison were AH Plus and MTA Fillapex. Twenty human upper incisors were selected and one 1 mm slice was obtained from the cervical third of each root. On the coronal surface of each slice, four 0.9 mm wide holes were drilled through the dentine. Standardized irrigation was performed and holes were filled with one of the four tested sealers: AH Plus, MTA Fillapex, MTAe, and MTAe-HA. The filled slices were stored in a PBS solution (pH 7.2) for 7 days at 37 °C. A push-out assessment was performed with a 0.7 mm plunger tip. Load was applied at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min until sealer displacement. The results were expressed in MPa. The Kruskal-Wallis test was applied to assess the effect of each sealer on the push-out bond strength. Mann-Whitney with Bonferroni correction was used to isolate the differences. The alpha-type error was set at 0.05. Significant differences among medians values obtained by materials were observed (p<0.001). AH Plus displayed the highest value of bond strength (p<0.001). In contrast, MTA Fillapex presented the lowest bond strength among all tested sealers (p<0.001). Experimental sealers showed intermediary bond strength values, with no statistical differences between them (p>0.05). In conclusion, experimental root canal sealers presented suitable bond strength outcomes when compared to MTA Fillapex.

Article This study evaluated comparatively two configurations (powder and putty) of a composite biomaterial based on PLGA (Poly(lactide-co-glycolide)/nanoescale hydroxyapatite (ReOss®, Intra-Lock International) through microscopic morphology, in vitro cytotoxicity, biocompatibility and in vivo response as a bone substitute. SEM and EDS characterized the biomaterials before/after grafting. Cytocompatibility was assessed with murine pre-osteoblasts. Osteoconductivity and biocompatibility were evaluated in White New Zealand rabbits. Both configurations were implanted in the calvaria of eighteen animals in non-critical size defects, with blood clot as the control group. After 30, 60 and 90 days, the animals were euthanized and the fragments containing the biomaterials and controls were harvested. Bone blocks were embedded in paraffin (n=15) aiming at histological and histomorphometric analysis, and in resin (n=3) aiming at SEM and EDS. Before implantation, the putty configuration showed both a porous and a fibrous morphological phase. Powder revealed porous particles with variable granulometry. EDS showed calcium, carbon, and oxygen in putty configuration, while powder also showed phosphorus. After implantation EDS revealed calcium, carbon, and oxygen in both configurations. The materials were considered cytotoxic by the XTT test. Histological analysis showed new bone formation and no inflammatory reaction at implant sites. However, the histomorphometric analysis indicated that the amount of newly formed bone was not statistically different between experimental groups. Although both materials presented in vitro cytotoxicity, they were biocompatible and osteoconductive. The configuration of ReOss® affected morphological characteristics and the in vitro cytocompatibility but did not impact on the in vivo biological response, as measured by the present model.
O mito da leniência fiscal no pensamento econômico desenvolvimentista*
Authors: Curado Marcelo , Fernández Virginia Laura
Published: June 2018

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a “tese de leniência fiscal” do desenvolvimentismo apresentada, entre outros, por Franco (1996, 2004, 2005). De acordo com esta tese, “gerações de desenvolvimentistas” propuseram um modelo de desenvolvimento no qual os desequilíbrios fiscais não eram apenas aceitáveis, mas sim parte crucial do financiamento dos investimentos. O artigo analisa duas gerações de desenvolvimentistas: a original, a partir das contribuições acadêmicas de seus expoentes intelectuais, Roberto Simonsen, Roberto Campos e Celso Furtado, e a nova geração formada pelas contribuições do novo e do social desenvolvimentismos. A revisão da literatura permite concluir que não há suporte para a tese da leniência fiscal. Os desenvolvimentistas originais sugeriram outros mecanismos para financiar os investimentos, como por exemplo, empréstimos do exterior ou ainda a elevação dos tributos. Outro resultado é que a leniência fiscal não faz parte da agenda do novo e do social desenvolvimentismos, já que são comprometidos com o equilíbrio fiscal.

Comparison of Pedestrian Data of Single File Movement Collected from Controlled Pedestrian Experiment and from Field in Mass Religious Gathering
Authors: Gulhare Siddhartha , Verma Ashish , Chakroborty Partha
Published: June 2018

Managing and controlling crowd during mass religious gathering is a challenge for organizers. With good computational capabilities, it is possible to create tools to simulate crowd in real time to aid crowd management. These tools need to be first calibrated and validated with pedestrian empirical data. The empirical data collection from field is difficult and therefore, data collection through controlled pedestrian experiments have become a convenient substitute. However, the ability of experiment data to reproduce actual crowd behavior needs to be examined. This study compared the experiment data with field data collected from mass religious gathering named Kumbh Mela held in India, 2016. The single file movement (pedestrians moving along a single line; SFM) experiment was conducted and its results were compared with the field SFM results. The speed in the field was found to be generally higher than in the experiment for a given density. The results clearly indicate that the pedestrians in the field are motivated to achieve a purpose but participants in the experiments lack the motivation. The pedestrian dynamics of the experiment was found to be different from the field. Hence, the results of pedestrian experiments should not be extrapolated to understand panic, crowd risk situations.
Neonatal outcome in new-borns admitted in NICU of tertiary care hospital in central India: a 5-year study
Authors: Verma Jyotsna , Anand Shweta , Kapoor Nawal , Gedam Sharad , Patel Umesh
Published: June 2018

Background: Neonatal mortality rate contributes significantly to under five mortality rates. Data obtained from pattern of admission and outcome may uncover various aspects and may contribute and help in managing resources, infrastructure, skilled hands for better outcome in future.Methods: This retrospective study was done on 1424 neonates who were admitted at LN Medical College and JK Hospital, Bhopal in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the Department of Paediatrics from January 2013-December 2017.Results: 1424 newborns admitted within 24 hours of birth were included in the study. About 767 were male neonates, (Male: female1.16:1). The low birth weight babies were 54% in our study. Among the various causes of NICU admission, Respiratory distress was present in 555 (39%) of neonates, Respiratory distress syndrome (Hyaline membrane disease) being the most common cause of respiratory distress. Neonatal sepsis accounted for morbidity in 24% of neonates, with Klebsiella being the most common organism grown in the blood culture. The incidence of congenital anomalies was 2.5%. The neonatal mortality was found to be 11% in our study. Prematurity with Respiratory distress syndrome (Hyaline membrane disease) and perinatal asphyxia were the two most common causes of neonatal mortality in the study. Extremely low birth weight neonates had the highest case fatality rate in the study, which indicates the need to develop an efficient group of professionals in teaching hospitals who will provide highly specialized and focused care to this cohort of vulnerable neonates.Conclusions: Present study has shown respiratory distress, perinatal asphyxia, and sepsis as the predominant causes of neonatal morbidity. All three are preventable causes, and our health-care programs should be directed toward addressing the risk factors in the community responsible for the development of these three morbidities. The preterm and low birth weight babies had significantly high mortality even with standard intensive care; therefore, a strong and effective antenatal program with extensive coverage of all pregnant females specifically in outreach areas should be developed which will help in decreasing preterm deliveries and also lower the incidence of low birth weight babies.
AN ANALYSIS ON SUBTITLING STRATEGIES OF ROMEO AND JULIET MOVIE
Authors: Dwi Hastuti Endang
Published: June 2018

The focus of this research is to identify the subtitling strategies applied in the subtitling of Romeo and Juliet movie. This research belongs to descriptive qualitative research along with purposive sampling techniques. The objects of the research are English sentences spoken by the actors and actress in Romeo and Juliet movie as a source text (ST) and its Indonesian subtitling as a target text (TT).The research findings show that the subtitling strategies applied in Romeo and Juliet movie are expansion, paraphrase, transfer, imitation, condensation, decimation, deletion, taming, and resignation. Among those strategies; condensation is the most dominant one due to  the limited  space and  subtitling time appearance because in the subtitling process, there should be a thrifty translation whereas, the accuracy of Romeo and Juliet subtitling depends on the context covers the text, both situation context and cultural context. There are three components covers the situation context, namely field, mode/channel, and tenor/relation.  The key words: subtitling strategy, subtitling accuracy, thrifty translation
Phosphatidic acid – a simple phospholipid with multiple faces
Authors: Zegarlinska Jolanta , Piaścik Magda , Sikorski Aleksander F , Czogalla Aleksander
Published: June 2018

Phosphatidic acid (PA) is the simplest glycerophospholipid naturally occurring in living organisms, and even though its content among other cellular lipids is minor, it is drawing more and more attention due to its multiple biological functions. PA is a precursor for other phospholipids, acts as a lipid second messenger and, due to its structural properties, is also a modulator of membrane shape. Although much is known about interaction of PA with its effectors, the molecular mechanisms remain unresolved to a large degree. Throughout many of the well-characterized PA cellular sensors, no conserved binding domain can be recognized. Moreover, not much is known about the cellular dynamics of PA and how it is distributed among subcellular compartments. Remarkably, PA can play distinct roles within each of these compartments. For example, in the nucleus it behaves as a mitogen, influencing gene expression regulation, and in the Golgi membrane it plays a role in membrane trafficking. Here we discuss how a biophysical experimental approach enabled PA behavior to be described in the context of a lipid bilayer and to what extent various physicochemical conditions may modulate the functional properties of the lipid. Understanding these aspects would help to unravel specific mechanisms of PA-driven membrane transformation and protein recruitment and thus would lead to a clearer picture of the biological role of PA.

The study investigated the associations between the growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-1 (GH/IGF-1) axis, adiponectin, resistin and metabolic profile in 47 GH-deficient children before and during 12 months of GH treatment. 23 short age-matched children without growth hormone deficiency (GHD) or any genetic or chronic disorders were recruited as controls at baseline. Metabolic evaluation included measurements of adiponectin, resistin, IGF-1, total cholesterol (total-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), glucose, insulin, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (free T4) concentrations. The GH-deficient children had significantly higher adiponectin (p<0.05) and total cholesterol (p<0.05) and significantly lower resistin (p<0.05) than the controls. Resistin at 6 months of GH treatment correlated significantly with changes in height SDSin that period (r=0.35) and with fasting insulin (r=0.50), the HOMA-IR (r=0.56) and the QUICKI (r= - 0.53) at 12 months of therapy. Adiponectin at 12 months of GH treatment was significantly associated with changes in HDL-C within the first 6 months (r=0.73) and also within 12 months (r=0.56) of therapy, while resistin correlated significantly with an increment in IGF-1 within 12 months of treatment (r=0.49) and with total-C at 12 months (r=0.56). Untreated GH-deficient children had higher adiponectin and lower resistin than healthy short children without GHD. Adiponectin and resistin did not change significantly during the first 12 months of GH therapy. Good responders to GH treatment had a tendency for higher resistin during GH therapy, which correlates positively with insulin resistance parameters.
Researching prior learning: How toddlers study movies
Authors: Bazalgette Cary
Published: June 2018

Taking issue with Bergala's dismissal of students' prior learning, disdain for popular culture and implicit preference for film education as a secondary school subject, this paper argues for the importance of studying children's earliest encounters with both films and television (summarized
as 'movies'). The research described here was based on the hypothesis that a learning process must be under way in these encounters, enabling children to follow much of the multimodal complexity of mainstream feature films by the time they are 3 years old. A longitudinal, ethnographic study
of the researcher's twin grandchildren between the ages of 22 and 31 months used video to capture phenomena such as focused attention, repeat viewing, emotional responses, utterances and gestures. Analysis, using embodied cognition as well as sociocultural approaches, revealed the extent to
which 2-year-olds are starting to follow, enjoy and reflect upon movies well before they can understand the words in their songs and picture books. The findings have implications not only for film education with older students, but also for early years research, and for the production of movies
aimed at this age group.

Published: June 2018

A field experiment on soybean was conducted at the regional research farm of the Punjab Agricultural University, Naraingarh (Distt. Fateh Garh Sahib) for three years under irrigated conditions for productivity enhancement through integrated nutrient and other agronomic interventions. There were twelve treatments comprising different levels of N, P, K, FYM and agronomic management practices. The results revealed that soybean significantly responded to the application of N, P, K and FYM. Maximum yield was recorded in the treatment where FYM was applied with NPK and resulted in an increase of 10.8 per cent over NPK alone. Application of additional 30 kg N ha-1 at pre-flowering or at pod initiation did not significantly enhance the yield over the basal dose of NP applied at sowing. Application of 4 tonnes wheat straw mulch + 30 kg N +60 kg P2O5 and 30 kg N + 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 showed similar effect on seed yield of soybean. No statistical difference in soybean yield was observed in the conventional flat and bed sowing treatments. Pre-emergence application of pendimethaline @ 1.5 l ha-1 along with one hand weeding at 40 days after sowing (DAS) and two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS were equally effective for weed control and in influencing the soybean yield. The application of N, P, K and FYM, in different treatments, treatment with Bradyrhizobium japonicum and sowing on beds all significantly improved the N, P and K uptake by soybean over control. Application of FYM to soybean resulted in maximum nutrient uptake by soybean. After three years a significant improvement in soil organic carbon, available N, P and K was observed in all treatments over control.
