Child Maltreatment and Adult Sexual Assault Victimization: Genetic and Environmental Associations
Authors: Pezzoli Patrizia , Antfolk Jan , Kronlund Emilia , Santtila Pekka
Published: June 2019

Despite the pervasiveness of adult sexual assault (ASA), evidence-based knowledge on the risk factors for sexual victimization is insufficient. Here, we investigated the etiology of ASA in a population-based Finnish twin sample. Specifically, we estimated the extent of the genetic and environmental influences on the risk of ASA, and we examined its phenotypic and genetic associations with five types of child maltreatment (CM). We found large unique environmental, but also small genetic influences on the risk of ASA, motivating further research on situational and behavioral conditions potentially exploited by sexually motivated perpetrators. The prevalence of ASA was highest among victims of severe child sexual abuse. However, when accounting for the co-occurrence of multiple types of CM, emotional abuse was the strongest predictor of ASA. We further examined, and could not entirely rule out, the possibility of common genetic and environmental pathways underlying CM and ASA. Lastly, we focused on sex differences. Emotional and physical abuse were the strongest predictors of ASA in women and men, respectively, and genetic influences on the risk of ASA were larger in women than men. However, such higher heritability did not reflect sex-limited genetic effects, but, rather, women’s systematic exposure to environmental risk of ASA.

NILAI TOLERANSI YANG SEMAKIN RENDAH BERDAMPAK BURUK BAGI MULTIKULTURALISME BANGSA INDONESIA DITINJAU DARI BEBERAPA KASUS DI INDONESIA
Authors: Sulistiyowati Novita Karina
Published: June 2019

Indonesia adalah negara yang memiliki kekhasan yaitu negara multikutural, dimana Indonesia memiliki banyak keragaman mulai dari budaya, bahasa, ras, agama, suku, dan lain-lain. Dari kekhasan tersebut seharusnya masyarakat Indonesia dan terutama para pemimpin negara ini harus menyadari bahwa keberagaman tersebut dapat menyatu, apabila ada suatu nilai toleransi didalamnya. Jika nilai tolerasi tersebut hilang maka keberagaman tersebut lama kelamaan juga akan memudar bahkan bisa jadi menghilang. Nilai toleransi walau dianggap sepele karena hanya guna mengerti dengan orang lain, namun itu sangat bernilai besar bagi negara ini. Dasar negara ini dibuat karena para pendiri menanggalkan egoisme masing-masing dan menjunjung tinggi nilai toleransi dan gotong royong, sehingga berdirilah negara ini.

Deciphering the Relationship between Objective and Subjective Aspects of Recollection in Healthy Aging
Authors: Folville Adrien , D'Argembeau Arnaud , Bastin Christine
Published: June 2019

Although healthy aging has been related to a decline in recollection as indexed by objective measures, the subjective experience of recollection seems to remain stable. To date, however, these age-related differences have only been examined using aggregated data across trials. In the current study, we investigated the relationship between subjective and objective measures of recollection on a trial-by-trial basis to determine whether the magnitude of this relationship was similar in young and older adults. Young and older participants were presented with a series of pictures that were associated with descriptive labels at encoding. At retrieval, they were cued with the labels and were asked to rate the vividness of their memory for the associated picture and to recall as many details of the picture as they could. On average, older adults assigned higher vividness ratings but recalled lower amount of specific episodic details than young adults. Mixed-effects modeling revealed that, across trials, the relationship between subjective (vividness) and objective (number of recalled details) recollection was stronger in young than in older participants. These findings provide evidence that older adults not only retrieve fewer episodic details but also spontaneously rely on these details to a lesser extent than young adults for judging the subjective quality of their memories.
Anxious parents show higher physiological synchrony with their infants

Published: June 2019

Interpersonal processes influence our physiological states and associated affect. Physiological arousal dysregulation, a core feature of anxiety disorders, has been identified in children of parents with elevated anxiety. But little is understood about how parent-infant interpersonal regulatory processes differ when the dyad features a more anxious parent. We investigated moment-to-moment fluctuations in arousal within parent-infant dyads using miniaturised microphones and autonomic monitors. We continually recorded arousal and vocalisations in infants and parents in naturalistic home settings across day-long data segments. Our results indicated that physiological synchrony across the day was stronger in dyads featuring more rather than less anxious mothers. Across the whole recording epoch, less anxious mothers showed responsivity that was limited to ‘peak’ moments in their child’s arousal. In contrast, more anxious mothers showed greater reactivity to small-scale fluctuations. Less anxious mothers also showed behaviours akin to ‘stress buffering’ – downregulating their arousal when the overall arousal level of the dyad was high. These behaviours were absent in more anxious mothers. Our findings have implications for understanding the differential processes of physiological co-regulation in partnerships where a partner has anxiety, and for the use of this understanding in informing intervention strategies for dyads needing support for elevated levels of anxiety.
The Troubles with (As-Is) Consciousness Science

Published: June 2019

A fully-functioning consciousness science is vital for humankind's navigation of the 21st century. Unfortunately the field currently has a number of significant dysfunctions. Fortunately, they're all eminently fixable! However, there's very little attention currently either to the deep roots of problems, or to fixes. Notably, there's a crucial experiment that needs to be done, if we're to have any kind of scientific approach to conscious experience ... This Chapter ends with an explicit strategy for engaging with, and transforming, the current field. [Chapter 3 from 'The Science We Need - One Experiment to Change the World'.]
Using Video-Based Situational Judgment Tests for Teacher Selection: A Quasi-Experiment Exploring the Relations between Test Format, Subgroup Differences, and Applicant Reactions
Authors: Bardach Lisa , Rushby Jade V. , Kim Lisa , Klassen Robert
Published: June 2019

The present study examines whether video-based situational judgment test (SJT) formats provide benefits over ‘traditional’ text-based SJTs. Focusing on three SJT conditions—two video-based conditions (with and without text), and a text-based condition—we investigated mean differences in applicant reactions and SJT scores, subgroup differences (ethnicity and gender), and relations between SJT scores and applicant reactions. Using a quasi-experimental design, 290 prospective teachers (56.6 % female) were randomly assigned to one of the three SJT conditions. SJT scores did not significantly differ between conditions, but both video-based formats were perceived as more engaging than the text-based format. Results from a multigroup path model indicated that there were statistically significant gender effects for the text-based condition (females outperforming males), but not for the two video-based conditions. However, ethnicity effects (members from majority groups outperforming members from minority groups) occurred in all conditions. Differentiated patterns of relations were found between applicant reactions and SJT performance, with engagement statistically significantly predicting SJT performance in the video without text condition. Implications for future research and teacher selection practice are discussed.

Aslen Yemenli olan ve mükâtebe yolu ile özgürlüğüne
kavuşan Hâtib b. Ebû Belteʻa, Cahiliye Dönemi’nde şairliği ve süvariliği ile
meşhurdur. Hicretten önce Müslüman olmuş, Habeşistan’a hicret etmeyerek Hz.
Peygamber’in yanında kalmayı tercih etmiştir. Hicret için izin verilmesinin
ardından Medine’ye hicret etmiş ve vefatına kadar Hz. Peygamber’in yanından
ayrılmamıştır. Hâtıb b. Ebû Belteʻa’yı diğerlerinden farklı kılan ise onun
Mekke’nin fethi için sefere çıkılmadan önce yapmış olduğu hatadır. O, Mekke
ileri gelenlerine bir mektup göndermiş ve Hz. Peygamber tarafından özellikle
gizli tutulmasına rağmen durumu haber vermek istemiştir. Bu nedenle de ihanet ile
suçlanmıştır. Bu olay İslam tarihinde birçok tartışmalara neden olacak olan
Bedir ashabının affedilmesi ile ilgili hadiseye de konu olmuştur. Yine aynı
olay nedeni ile Mümtehine Suresi’nin ilk ayetleri nazil olmuştur. Hâtıb b. Ebû Belteʻa’yı
farklı kılan ikinci olay ise Hz. Peygamber’in İslam’a davet içeren mektubunu
Mısır Mukavkıs’ına götürmesidir. Burada Mukavkıs karşısında Hz. Peygamber’i ve
İslam’ı en güzel şekilde savunmuştur. Bu çalışmamızda birçok tartışmanın

Effect of the anisotropic yield condition on the predicted distribution of residual stresses in a thin disk
Authors: Grechnikov F. V. , Erisov Ya. A. , Alexandrov S. E.
Published: June 2019

The effect of the replacement of the exact yield condition by that averaged over the distribution of residual stresses in a thin hollow disk subjected to external pressure and subsequent unloading is investigated. The formulation of the boundary-value problem is specially simplified so that it is possible to obtain a mathematically exact semi-analytical solution, with the help of which it is easy to investigate the effect of averaging the yield condition on the stressed state including the distribution of residual stresses. The accepted exact yield condition is averaged using several generally accepted approaches. The comparative analysis of the distribution of residual stresses shows a significant deviation of the distribution resulting from solutions for the averaged yield conditions from the exact distribution of residual stresses.

Construction of expression plasmid for Bacillus subtilis using Pspac promoter and BgaB as a reporter
Authors: Phan Hanh Thi-Thu , Nhi Nguyen Ngoc Yen , Tien Le Thuy , Phuong Chu Thi Bich , Ngan Le Thi Phuong , Trang Phan Thi Phuong , Nguyen Hoang Duc
Published: June 2019

Introduction: In basic research, it is essential to use an inducible promoter which can be controlled to express a small amount of protein for studying their roles in the cell. Pspac, a well-known weak promoter for Bacillus subtilis, uses isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) as an inducer. However, plasmids carrying this promoter such as pHCMC05 still have a disadvantage which harbors a repetitive DNA fragment of about 200 bp, resulting in structural instability in Escherichia coli, causing difficulty during cloning.

Methods: In this study, we constructed a plasmid that does not carry the repetitive sequences and investigated plasmid structural stability in E. coli, then measured the β-galactosidase reporter gene (bgaB) expression in B. subtilis.

Results: The constructed plasmid pHT2002 was stable over 56 generations while pHCMC05-bgaB was structurally instable and ultimately lost after 42 generations. BgaB activities and Western-blot indicated that BgaB-coding gene under control of IPTG-inducible promoter Pspac could be expressed at low levels.

Conclusion: The study demonstrated that the new expression plasmid without the repeated sequences retained its structural stability in E. coli facilitating the cloning step. The expression plasmid with Pspac promoter for B. subtilis could be used to express a modest amount of the heterologous protein in the presence of IPTG.

CHARACTERISTIC OF NASOPHARYNGEAL CARSINOMA IN ACEH 2016-2017
Authors: Kurnia Benny , Kamarlis Reno Keumalazia , Kamal Fera Kamila
Published: June 2019

Introduction

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is among five major malignancies in Indonesia and the primary malignant tumor in men. Among all head and neck (H&N) cancers, nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is endemic in certain regions of the world, especially in Southeast Asia, and has a poor prognosis. In Indonesia, the recorded mean prevalence is 13 000 yearly new NPC cases, but otherwise little is documented on NPC in Indonesia.

Objectives

We collected all cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma diagnosed by histopathological examination during the period of 2016-2017 from archives of the registry in the Ear, Nose, and Throat department and Patologi Anatomy laboratory Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital. We did this research to presenting the basic data of NPC in Aceh according to gender, age, geographic site and WHO histopathology criteria.

Method

All the data we counted by using Microsoft Excel 2016 by grouping it according to the variable that we want to grade. We made it into a table and graphic presentation to explain each item of the variable.

Result

Here, in Aceh, we reported 46 cases in the year 2016 and 26 cases in the year 2017, a total of 72 patients during 2 years. We studied NPC incidence in Aceh among all H&N cancer cases focusing on age, gender, the ethnic background, and the disease histopathology. In this study population, from a total of 72 patient we found 44 male (61.1%) and 28 female (38.9%), with a male to female ratio is 1.57:1. According to the geographic site, NPC in Aceh was the most endemic in the Banda Aceh population (15.3%) followed by Southwest Aceh (12.5%) as a second one. From the age range, NPC most frequent to affect patients at the age range 41-60 years (44.44%), besides that we found 8 (11.11%) cases NPC in Aceh at the age 0- 20 years with 13 years old patient was the younger one. Here, we found that Undifferentiated NPC is the most frequent histological type (44.4%). We continued the study by analyzed NPC patient according to WHO criteria, type I WHO most frequent from the Great Aceh. Type II and Type III WHO we found most frequent from Banda Aceh.

Conclusion: Our data NPC incidence did not differ significantly among the literature. Mostly NPC patients over the world at the old adult age, even all of the age range can be affected by NPC. There are similar histopathological features results here compare to the Southeast Asian country.
The Eco-discourse Analysis of The Joy Luck Club
Authors: Zhou Geng
Published: June 2019

This paper spotlights one of the most influential Chinese American novels, ‘The Joy Luck Club’. Broadly adhering to the principles and orientations of Eco-discourse analysis and using Halliday’s systemic-functional grammar as a framework of analysis, this study uncovers ideologies pointing to an asymmetrical power structure between the mother and the daughter and discusses the underlying Chinese philosophy of mother, which helps daughter find her genuine identity. This paper concludes with revealing the true contradiction behind the conflict of mother-daughter, i.e., the two distinct value systems, and expect people to think and act ecologically, promoting the development of eastern eco-ideology.
A Comparative Study of Two Chinese Versions of The Moon and Sixpence: A Narratological Perspective
Authors: Zhang Tongtong
Published: June 2019

Narrative strategies and discourse features correlate strongly with the characterization, thematic significance as well as rhetorical effect in narrative fictions. This paper will conduct a comparative study of Fu Weici’s and Li Jihong’s Chinese version of The Moon and Sixpence with particular reference to five examples from two narratological aspects, namely unreliable narration and narrative tense. Attention will be focused on to what extent and how relevant stylistic markers of these narrative features have been recreated in the target text. It is suggested that translators should always be sensitive enough to detect any stylistic markers of unique narrative features, identify their association with characterization, thematic and artistic value and reproduce them in the target text so as to ensure an optimal transference of their embedded rhetorical effect.
Interpretation of the Mother-Daughter Relationship in the Joy Luck Club from the Perspective of Transitivity System
Authors: Liu Yuanyuan , Liu Lingling
Published: June 2019

The Joy Luck Club written by Amy Tan depicts the lifestyle of foreign citizens of Chinese origin. It consists of many stories in which children born in the United States but educated in a Chinese way are destined to have some conflicts with their Chinese born parents due to different environments they were born in. This thesis, based on functional grammar put forward by Halliday, endeavors to focus on the analysis of the mother-daughter interaction in one of the four families—Jing-mei Woo’s family from the perspective of transitivity system so as to shed light on the personalities of these characters. After carrying out the corresponding analysis, a conclusion can be made that the daughter is a person with her own mind and she pursues freedom and independence all her life, while her mother is a person attaching great importance to the obedience from her daughter.
Intercropping and Fertilizer Rate Combinations Impact on Maize (Zea Mays L.) and Soybean (Glycine Max L (Merill)) Productivity: The Case Study in the Guinea Savannah Agro-Ecological Zone of Ghana
Authors: Xorse Kugbe Joseph , Kwahene Addai Isaac , Anyetin-Nya Asekabta Karl
Published: June 2019

Production of food in resource-constrained environments that have poor inherent soil nutrition depends on tillage and cropping systems that provide high yields, preserve soil, water and biodiversity. This research was conducted in the Guinea savannah agroecology of Ghana, during the 2015-2016 cropping seasons to evaluate the impact of tillage and cropping systems on sustainable production of maize and soybean by resource-poor farmers. The experiment was a split-split plot design with four replications. The factors consisted of tillage system at three levels (plough, ripping and direct-seeding) laid out as main plots, fertilizer rate at three levels (0 kg/ha, half the recommended rate of 30-15-15 kg/ha and the recommended optimum rate of 60-30-30 kg/ha NPK) laid as sub-plots and cropping system at two levels (sole maize, maize-soybean intercrop) laid on the sub-sub plot. Apart from leaf area that had significant three-way interaction of tillage, cropping system and fertilizer rate (p < 0.05), all other growth parameters were affected by either two factor interaction or a sole factor. Grain yield of maize was significantly influenced by sole maize and fertilizer rate with highest yield occurring under the full rate (3.4 t/ha) compared with the half rate (2.7 t/ha), amounting to yield difference of about 700 kg/ha. Yield of soybean under the integrated production was affected by interaction of tillage system and fertilizer rate. Highest soybean yield (1.4 t/ha) was recorded under the ploughed condition at the full rate of fertilizer application. Though sole maize, ploughed and with full rate of fertilizer application, gave similar benefit/cost ratio as that of the integrated production with half rate of fertilizer application, the intercropped system with half fertilizer rate resulted in 45% more increases in profit compared to the sole production with full fertilizer rate. Integrated production of maize and soybean, with half the recommended rate of NPK (30-15-15 kg/ha) is therefore recommended to resource-poor farmers in northern Ghana.

Therefore, it is necessary to re-run the Analysis of Factor Analysis of the Exploration (EFA), as the current study area may differ from previous studies, or the current study population is far different from previous studies in terms of socio-economic status, ethnicity and culture (Awang, 2010). Overall, the findings revealed that 15 items were abolished after the EFA was implemented. Only the reduction of items for the construction of the Ibadah Amal only, is 15 items. This reduction is due to a number of things that have been built before, no longer suitable for current studies or there are different item structures in current studies compared to previous study structures. The researchers need to recalculate the value of Internal Indicators of the current instrument for the new Alpha Cronbach value. Based on Awang’s suggestion (2010; 2012), researchers decided to carry out the EFA re-item to measure the construction and in this study will be described in detail the procedure for conducting an EFA analysis for each construction.

One of the most critical marketing topics which have been discussed extensively by both academicians and practitioners over the past decades is brand equity. This study aims to integrate previous literature and developing a comprehensive framework to identify the antecedents, mediators, moderators, and consequences of brand equity. In order to verify the appropriateness of the proposed research framework and research design based on literature review, this study first adopted a series of in-depth interviews to collect data from experts. The research framework was developed based on the comments of the experts. The results indicated that three major dimensions of variables, including cognitive factors, experiential factors, and marketing factors have significant influences on brand equity. Brand personality, brand trust, and brand loyalty have served as three of the mediators that can mediate the influences of cognitive, experiential, and marketing factors on brand equity. Furthermore, brand equity can be a significant indicator of brand preference, behavioral intention, and word of mouth toward the brand. Two major aspects of moderators, including relational moderators and psychological moderators, can amplify the influence of brand equity on brand preference, behavioral intention, and word of mouth. Eventually, 28 research propositions were developed to integrated the antecedents, mediators, moderators and outcomes of brand equity. Since most of the previous studies do not integrate into a more comprehensive framework of brand equity, the results of this study have provided as an important reference for academicians to conduct further empirical validations on the research of brand equity. The results are also very useful for professionals to identify their marketing and promotion strategies to enhance brand equity and the profitability of the firm.

Authors: Rameez A.
Published: June 2019

Ethnicity of minority group shifts in a plural society with a strong influence of core ethnic groups and thus minorities give up their ethnic identity and become identified with the larger society. Although Malays in Sri Lanka constitute 0.3 % of total population and are dispersed widely throughout the country, the prospect of their integration with core ethnic groups is largely significant compared to other ethnic groups. Although much has been written about Malays and their genesis in the island, studies on integration of Malays and its implications on their ethnicity has suffered scholarly neglect for many years. Thus, this study examines the degree of integration of Malays with other ethnic groups in Sri Lanka and the factors contributing to endanger their ethnicity. This is a qualitative study consisting of observation, interviews and focus group discussion as data collection techniques. This study argues that high integration by Malays with other ethnic groups has significantly endangered their ethnicity. This is attributed to mixed educational and working environment, interspersed settlement, shared religion, and absence of prejudice and stereotype against Malays by others. It is assumed that the identity of Malays would be eroded in future if the present trend of integration persists in the community level.
