Authors: Zuo Xinya
Published: June 2019

International ecological discourse belongs to the cross research field, which can be understood as a study of international relations in discourse by means of ecological discourse analysis. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the discourse influence of the speaker and analyze the ecological significance of discourse transmission: to protect or destroy the international ecosystem, or to be in an ambiguous attitude. This paper firstly clarifies the related concepts of international ecological discourse and international ecosystem, and puts forward the ecological philosophy which can promote the good development of international ecosystem based on Chinese traditional culture and diplomatic ideas. On the basis of these theories and the transitivity theory in systemic functional linguistics, a transitivity analysis model reflecting the characteristics of international ecological discourse is constructed, which involves ecological extension and refinement of the role of participants and definition and interpretation of ecological benefit of process types: beneficial, neutral and destructive.

Authors: Cheng Qing , Shi Yeli
Published: June 2019

with the prosperity of the world economy, each country gradually converts its priority of the development to the economic growth. Economic activities such as import and export are more frequent than before. In this process, business negotiation is indispensable. On the study of business negotiation, scholars at home and abroad have put relentless efforts and have made tremendous contributions to the success of business transactions. However, in practical business negotiations, although negotiators have mastered a certain level of knowledge of business negotiation, they still encounter some problems. These problems, to some extent, can be solved by the employment of psychological knowledge. In this paper, psychological theories such as Attribution Theory, Intergroup Conflict Theory, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and Foot-in-the-Door Technique are applied and analyzed to help negotiators achieve the most important goal in business negotiations.
A Contrastive Study of Hard Times and the Two Versions from the Perspective of Textual Cohesion
Authors: Yan Meng
Published: June 2019

Cohesion is the semantic concept of discourse. And the key to coherence of discourse is to use various cohesive devices rationally. Due to the different ways of thinking between China and the West, English and Chinese have great difficulties in textual cohesion. In order to better carry out translation practice, it is necessary to understand the cohesive devices of the text. Both English and Chinese use cohesive devices, but they are different. The complicated work of English-Chinese translation is the treatment of cohesive devices and the quality of the translation depends on the proper handling of the cohesive devices. This paper is based on a book cohesion in English by Halliday and Hasan in 1976, whose research methods are comparative analysis and descriptions. Choosing the works hard times of Charles Dickens, a famous British critic of the 19th century as well as Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press Mu Run and China Books Publishing House Wu Sujun two versions as the research object. By analyzing the differences between English and Chinese texts, the author tries to find out the reasons for the differences and hopes to provide some help for English-Chinese translation.

Teaching Future Dietitians Leadership: A General Needs Assessment
Authors: Hermosura Billie Jane
Published: June 2019

The needs of the patient population are characterized by more chronic or complex health problems and the health care delivery system is constantly undergoing transformation. While discussions among stakeholders about changing the health system are essential, there is a concurrent need to focus on health professions education. There is a need to understand how entry-to-practice standards are used to develop health professions curricula. Based on recent stakeholder consultations and workforce assessments conducted by Dietitians of Canada and provincial interest groups, an emerging area of dietetic competency appears to be leadership. The purpose of this research project was to gain a better understanding around how competency standards are utilized to develop health professions curriculum, with a focus on dietetic curriculum related to management and leadership. To meet this objective, a general needs assessment was conducted using five databases: CINAHL, PubMed, FSTA, Scopus, and ERIC. The ancestry method was incorporated with purposive sampled articles to find additional research articles. The following key terms were included in the search: health professions, dietetics, nutrition, management, leadership, education, curriculum, competency, entry-level. A review of the literature indicates that developing professional competencies in leadership can strengthen some health professionals’ capacity to take on certain roles through competency-based education. In addition, the long-term training effects result in an increase in specific competencies relevant for effective interprofessional collaboration. There is opportunity for pedagogical and practice-based activities to strengthen leadership abilities of future dietetic professionals.
Connection Failure: Systemic Disadvantages Facing the LGBTQ+ Community in Therapy and how to Address them
Authors: Roach Erin
Published: June 2019

This paper examines the experiences of members of the LGBTQ+ community in accessing mental health care in Ottawa, Canada, both positive and negative, and what might be done to improve outcomes. The paper includes a literature review of empirical studies and theoretical works about conducting therapy with LGBTQ+ clients, as well as the results of a pilot study conducted by the researcher to examine in depth the experience of a small sample of LGBTQ+ clients in Ottawa (N=4). Through semi-structured interviews, the researcher found that three out of four participants had experienced some dissatisfaction with how their identity was addressed in therapy, and as a result their overall well-being had suffered. This implies that therapists could be doing more to connect with their LGBTQ+ clients, potentially through better educating themselves on the issues affecting the community, as recommended by the participants. Increasing therapist knowledge would likely improve mental health outcomes for LGBTQ+ clients.

Hard-working Heroes or Curious Students? - Au pair Positioning, Organizing, and Negotiation
Authors: Hansen Agnete Meldgaard , Pedersen Maria Hjortsø
Published: June 2019

The precarious position and poor working conditions of au pairs in the Nordic and other western labor markets are well documented. Furthermore, research on au pairs and migrant domestic workers emphasizes many obstacles to their organizing (e.g., in trade unions) and negotiation to improve their working conditions. Using an ethnographic study of Filipino au pairs in Denmark as an illustrative case, we supplement this previous research by presenting an analytical approach inspired by governmentality studies. This approach highlights the complex transnational interplay of migration policies and practices affecting Filipino au pairs’ positioning in the Danish labor market and contributes to exploring how this positioning relates to their prospects for negotiating and organizing. We suggest that with a close examination of the often contradictory and multifaceted positioning of migrant workers in transnational policy fields, not only obstacles but also possibilities for negotiation and organizing to improve working conditions will become visible

Cultural Distance, Acculturative Stress, Functional Social Support, and Psychological Adaptation of International Students
Authors: Ladum Ariel , Burkholder Gary J.
Published: June 2019

This study examined how cultural distance, acculturative stress, and social support interacted to influence emotional responses among international students studying in the northern part of Cyprus. Acculturation models and the stress-buffering hypothesis served as theoretical frameworks. The research questions involved understanding whether international students experienced more negative emotional responses compared to students from the home culture and whether social support moderated acculturative stress and reactions to being in the northern part of Cyprus. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) examined differences in emotional reactions between home and international students while hierarchical multiple regression was used to examine the moderation hypotheses. ANOVA results indicated that Turkish-Cypriots had more positive emotional responses than international students to being in the host culture. Results did not support social support as a moderator for either international students’ acculturative stress or their emotional reactions. However, results suggested that unmet expectations, less financial satisfaction, and less social support predicted acculturative stress, while being in a relationship, higher Turkish proficiency, unmet expectations, and higher acculturative stress predicted more negative emotional responses. These results may help universities design programs to support psychological adaptation among international students, which could ultimately facilitate student retention.

Luka bakar merupakan hilangnya atau rusaknya keutuhan kulit akibat paparan suhu atau pH, zat kimia, gesekan, trauma tekanan dan radiasi. Proses penyembuhan luka tidak lepas dari peran kolagen. Sintesis kolagen dapat dipromosikan melalui pemberian gula (sugar dressing). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui efektivitas sugar dressing untuk meningkatan kepadatan kolagen dalam proses penyembuhan luka bakar buatan pada kulit tikus putih (Rattus norvegicus) jantan. Dua puluh ekor tikus putih (Rattus norvegicus) jantan dibagi menjadi lima kelompok dengan jumlah empat ekor tiap kelompok. Kelompok K- (kontol negatif) tidak diberi perlukaan. Kelompok K+ (kontrol positif) di beri perlukaan kemudian hanya diberi bilasan NaCl fisiologis. Kelompok P1 (Bioplacenton®) diberi perlukaan dengan pengobatan Bioplacenton®. Kelompok P2 (sugar dressing) diberi perlukaan dengan pengobatan gula dan P3 (madu) menggunakan madu sebagai obat. Perawatan diberikan setiap hari sekali selama empat belas hari. Hasil uji nonparametrik Kruskal-Wallis menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan (p<0,05) dan dilanjutkan dengan uji beda Mann-Whitney. Kepadatan kolagen kelompok P1, P2, dan P3 tidak berbeda secara nyata (p>0,05), tetapi berbeda nyata dengan kelompok K- dan K+. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah sugar dressing efektif untuk meningkatkan kepadatan kolagen pada proses penyembuhan luka bakar.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi bakteri Escherichia coli dalam telur yang gagal menetas dari penyu Lekang (Lepidoehelys olivacea) di sarang semi-alami, pantai Boom, Banyuwangi. Bakteri diisolasi dari 12 kuning telur penyu yang gagal menetas dan dari induk penyu yang berbeda. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik sampel random berstrata. Kontaminasi E. coli dideteksi dengan menggunakan uji pendugaan, uji konfirmasi, dan uji biokimia IMVIC, berdasarkan Standar Nasional Indonesia 01-2332.1-2015 tentang cara uji mikrobiologi-bagian 1: Penentuan coliform dan E. coli pada produk perikanan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 3 sampel atau 25% dari total sampel terkontaminasi E. coli, yaitu sampel B1, B3, dan C3. Berdasarkan Most Probability Number (MPN) Jumlah E. coli pada masing masing sampel adalah sampel B1 sejumlah 3 MPN/g, B3 sejumlah 7,2 MPN/g  dan C3 sejumlah 9,2 MPN/g. E. coli bukan bakteri utama yang menyebabkan kegagalan penetasan telur penyu di sarang semi-alami, pantai Boom, Banyuwangi. Namun pada  pengujian sampel ditemukan bakteri golongan koliform fekal pada sebagian besar sampel yaitu 8 sampel atau 66,67%, koliform non fekal sebanyak 1 sampel atau 8,33% dan non koliform sebanyak 3 sampel atau 25% dari total 12 sampel. Sumber kontaminasi E. coli diduga berasal dari induk penyu, lingkungan sarang semi-alami, dan pekerja Banyuwangi Sea Turtle Foundation.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh ekstrak kedelai untuk meningkatan proliferasi lapisan endometrium dalam proses perkembangan organ uterus pada mencit (Mus musculus) betina. Kelompok kontrol (K) tidak diberi perlukaan. Kelompok P1 diberi ekstrak kedelai dengan dosis 12,5mg/kgBB. Kelompok P2 diberi ekstrak kedelai dengan dosis 25mg/kgBB. Kelompok P3 diberi ekstrak kedelai dengan dosis 37,5mg/kgBB. Kelompok P4 diberi ekstrak kedelai dengan dosis 50mg/kgBB. Perlakuan dilakukan setiap hari sekali selama empat belas hari. Hasil uji One Way Anova menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan (p<0,05) dan dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Ketebalan endometrium kelompok P2, P3, dan P4 berbeda secara nyata (p<0,05), dengan kelompok kontrol (K), dan kelompok kontrol (K) tidak berbeda nyata dengan kelompok P1 (p>0,05), serta kelompok P1 tidak berbeda nyata dengan kelompok P2 (p>0,05). Kandungan senyawa fitoestrogen yaitu isoflavon berupa daidzein dan genistein bekerjasama dalam mengoptimalkan proliferasi lapisan endometrium pada uterus mencit (Mus musculus) betina. Daidzein bekerja sebagai senyawa estrogenik untuk berikatan dengan reseptor estrogen pada uterus dan genistein bekerja sebagai penghambat pertumbuhan lapisan endometrium yang berlebih pada jumlah tertentu. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah ekstrak kedelai (Glycine max) efektif untuk peningkatan proliferasi lapisan endometrium pada uterus mencit betina.

The concept of employment has some aspects that are integrated in order to achieve the balance of the workforce, both aspects of demand and supply of labor. The labor market is considered as the location of meeting between the demand for labor from both the private and Government sectors and the supply of labor available. The meeting of demand and supply of manpower can exert influence on the determination of the level of wage labor. In other words, the labor market plays a role in assisting the Government in the process of making employment-related policies such as the determination of the level of wages. This study, by employing library research, demonstrated that the concept of labor as seen from the viewpoint of Islam will be able to reach the concept of labor. It is not limited to the extent of absorption of labor, but also related how the level of the workforce that is capable of being managed by the Government to be more productive. The policy of wage rate in Islam is not limited to referring to balance demand and supply of labor. It also reviews the needs of a worker based on the principle of fairness and honesty, and protects both interests in the worker and the employer. The essence of Islamic economy in review market power based on the view of Islam shows its potential in generating equitable economy society and realize prosperity.
