Investigating the Efficiency of Zirconium Oxide Nanoparticles in Removal of Ciprofoxacin from Aqueous Environments
Authors: Davoud Balarak  , Marzieh Baniasadi  , Kethineni Chandrika
Published: January 2020

Antibiotics as emerging contaminants are of global concern due to the development of antibiotic resistant genes potentially causing superbugs. The inefficiency of conventional purification processes in the complete removal of antibiotics increases the resistance of microorganisms in humans and the environment, hence new and low-cost technology is needed. Adsorptive materials have been extensively used for the conditioning, remediation and removal of inorganic and organic hazardous materials. Zirconium oxide is a widely used inorganic material which is chemically  stable, non-toxic and not soluble in water. Thus it could be an attractive candidate for drinking water puri? cation. In this study, Zirconium Oxide Nanoparticles (ZrO2NP)has been used as the adsorbent for the possibility of removing Cipro? oxacin (CIP) from aqueous solution using the batch adsorption technique under different conditions of initial CIP concentration (25, 50, 75, 100 mg/L), adsorbent dose (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 1 g/L)   and contact time (10-150 min). The percentage of CIP adsorbed increased with increase in the mass of the adsorbent dose from 0.1 to 1 g/L. Kinetics study for sorption was evaluated using diffusion  models,  pseudo-first  order  kinetic  and pseudo-second  order  kinetic.  Results  show  that  pseudo  second-order kinetic model gave the best description for the adsorption process. The experiments showed that the highest removal rate was 96.5% under optimal conditions. The sorption of CIP on ZrO2NP was rapid during the first 30 min and the equilibrium attained  within  75  min.  The  results  suggest  that  ZrO2NPcould  be a good  candidate  to remove  CIP from  wastewater containing different amounts of antibiotic.

Antibiotics are medicines used to prevent and treat bacterial infections. Antibiotic usage is increasing rapidly day by day with  or  without  prescription.  Irrational  prescription  usage,  negligence  of standard guidelines and antimicrobial resistance are increasing complexity in the therapy and the desired outcome. High-volume prescription of antibiotics in primary health care is a major factor contributing to antibiotic resistance. Educating    physicians and patients can lower prescribing errors and the aim of this study was to do a prospective observational prescription  audit in  inpatient department of pulmonology in  a tertiary care hospital and limiting the inappropriate use of antimicrobials. The primary objective of the study is to determine the Antibiotic prescription,  find  out  the  inappropriate  drug  selection,  dose selection, dosage form and course of antibiotics to monitor the culture test as well as antibiotic sensitivity and resistance and also to analyze the drug interaction, allergic medication prescribed and omission of the dose. The study was conducted with 234 patients in Erode district, Tamilnadu. The study conducted by strictly observing  the  antimicrobial  prescription  in  the  inpatient  pulmonology  department  in  a  tertiary  care  hospital,  limiting  the inappropriate drug selection, dose selection, dosage form, course of antibiotics and hence decreasing the antibiotic resistance. The prescribing and administering details were collected in a data acquisition form; the collected data were interpreted with Sanford and GOLD Standard Guidelines and analyzed with descriptive statistics. The study found that irrational use of medication was high (53.41%)  and  a  highly  significant  medication  error  also  reported.  The  major concomitant disorder was Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (21.79%) and most administered drug was Ceftriaxone (20.51%) (Third generation Cephalosporins). Culture test (32.90%) as well as antibiotic sensitivity and resistance test were done in very less cases, empirical therapy dominates over targeted therapy which affects rationality.

Recent challenges of LBOs in Italy and institutional insights: The devil lies in the details
Authors: Zambelli Simona
Published: January 2020

This study highlights recent institutional challenges faced by Private equity (PE) investors in Italy. These challenges increased the debate on the admissibility of LBOs, especially with reference to the actual nature of the debt underlying LBOs and the deductibility of the related interest payments. Despite the enactment of the 2004 corporate governance reform, which legalized LBOs under specific conditions, and the introduction of the European AIFM Directive (2011/61/EU), the doubts on the admissibility of LBOs have not been fully resolved. Up until recently, the Italian Tax Authority continued to challenge LBOs by interpreting them as tools fraudulently adopted by PE investors to elude the law and evade taxes. As a result, PE investors had to face a number of fiscal challenges and sanctions, which added more uncertainty to the legal admissibility of LBOs in Italy. Recently, new fiscal guidelines and jurisprudence finally changed this perspective, confirming the legitimacy of LBOs.
Una posible polisemia en la epistemología naturalizada
Authors: Cárdenas Castañeda Leonardo
Published: January 2020

En este artículo expongo una posible polisemia que se puede observar entre los defensores del naturalismo científico, pues si bien filósofos como Quine, Dennett y Giere comparten el espíritu original de la epistemología naturalizada bajo la definición que denominaré D1: “el éxito de la epistemología depende de la manera en que se logren reducir o reemplazar sus problemas por la ciencia”, el tratamiento que cada uno de estos filósofos ofrece de la epistemología naturalizada se aparta de esta definición primigenia, pues cada quien privilegia ciertos enfoques que no serían aceptables por los demás, ni se acomodan de igual manera a lo que plantea D1. Así que, a pesar de que los tres acepten la tesis de que la nueva epistemología debe excluir el discurso metafísico que ha dominado la epistemología tradicional y sustituirlo por proyectos netamente científicos, el tratamiento que cada uno por separado le da a esta tesis tiene implicaciones que los otros partidarios del naturalismo encontrarían indefendibles.
Interjections in the contemporary Serbian language: Classification and lexicographic treatment
Authors: Stijovic Rada , Lazic-Konjik Ivana , Spasojevic Marina
Published: January 2020

This paper analyzes interjections based on the material from the SASA
Dictionary, as well as from the six-volume and one-volume Serbian
dictionaries of Matica Srpska. Moreover, we looked into their grammatical
description and classification in Serbian literature. Based on the
voluminous excerpted material (over 1000 interjections and words functioning
as interjections), we refined the classification by adding new types of
interjections. The said addition is founded upon the concept of language
functions by Roman Jakobson. In our classification, apart from the
expressive, imperative and onomatopoeic interjections, they can also be
communicative (singled out of the imperative ones) (e.g. ej, alo, oj),
poetic-folk (e.g. op, opa, salaj; asa, kasa) and metalinguistic (e.g.
bla-bla, su-su). All of these types are further categorized into subtypes.
Expressive interjections now include a subgroup of gradual/intensifying
interjections (e.g. ihaj, uha), and communicative ones contain a subtype
used in communication with children - when putting them to sleep, using baby
talk, etc. (e.g. nina-nana, nuna). In the paper we recommend the following
models of defining interjections: for expressive interjections:
(interj./interjection) ?for expressing / declaring / emphasizing? + N in
gen. (denoting a feeling, affective state, mood, emotional or sensory
reaction to the outside world, attitude, etc.); for communicative
interjections: (interj./ interjection) ?for + verbal N in acc.? (calling
somebody and responding to the call, addressing, maintaining communication,
baby talk); for imperative interjections: (interj./ interjection) ?used + V?
(to lure, urge, drive, spur, call (mostly animals)) or: (interj./
interjection) ?for + verbal N in acc.? (driving, luring, spurring (mostly
animals)); for onomatopoeic interjections: (interj./interjection) ?for
imitating (more rarely mimicking) + N in gen.? or ?used for imitating? + N
in nom.? (used for naming the auditive phenomenon that is imitated); for
metalinguistic interjections, the models of definitions recommended for
onomatopoeias can be applied; for poetic-folk interjections a descriptive
definition is used: ?without specific meaning (in song refrains, often for
metrical purposes; in games, chants, riddles, incantations, curses, etc.)?.
The abstract usages of the adverbs ovde (here) and tu (tamo)
Authors: Asic Tijanav
Published: January 2020

The aim of this paper is to account for the abstract usages of the pronoun
adverbs ovde (here) and tu (there) in Serbian. We start with the analysis of
their basic spatial meanings which show that ovde is a true deictic
expression that, if it is accopanied with the act of showing, can obtain the
value of a demonstrative. On the contrary, tu behavies as a noun phrase with
the definite article. Its spatial meaning is easily transformed into the
asbtract one. We also show that the temporal usage of ovde is not completely
temporal because it denotes the space captured in one relevant moment.
Green IT Perceptions and Activities of Internal Auditors in Australia, Canada, and the United States
Authors: Yoon Kyunghee , No Won Gyun , Gray Glen L. , Roebuck Peter J.
Published: January 2020

Green IT and sustainability reporting receive considerable attention. Internal auditors are considered control experts and provide assurance that controls have been designed and are functioning properly. However, literature indicates discrepant findings in terms of internal auditors' role in sustainability activities. Based on a theoretical link between environmental regulations and internal auditors' role in sustainability activities, we examine whether internal auditors' roles in green IT differ across Australia, Canada, and the U.S. We find that internal auditors' current green IT perceptions and involvements in the three countries are essentially interchangeable, even though their regulations are significantly different. We find that their perceived roles differ across most green IT activities across industries, but their current involvement does not. Future research needs to identify whether there are cultural reasons or deeper, profound systemic reasons why internal auditors are not more proactively involved in the highly visible, rapidly growing, value-added areas of sustainability.

Seksuell trakassering, verdighet og SKAM
Authors: Sørensen Rønnaug
Published: January 2020

In this chapter, I discuss the causes and consequences of masculine domination in sexuality. My main theoretical inspiration is Bourdieu’s theory of masculine domination and his key concept symbolic violence. The Norwegian TV-series SKAM is my empirical case. I will trace the historical roots of masculine domination, and discuss how this puts limits on female sexuality, integrity and dignity.
By identifying “the elephant in the room”, masculine domination, Bourdieu claims that we can see sexual harassment as a type of social control of women and gay people, using shame as the key control mechanism. I will analyse the reproduction of masculine dominance and symbolic violence through language; by the use of words like “whore” and “homo”, and through masculine stigmatizations of “good” and “bad” girls.
The TV-series SKAM has had a considerable impact on the how Norwegians talk about sexual harassment, homophobia and other religions. SKAM shows how the youth can strengthen their self-esteem by dismantling the taboos and making them aware of social control mechanisms. In this chapter, I am addressing teachers to use SKAM to discuss sexual harassment, and to continuing dismantling cultural taboos.
Verdighet og selvbestemmelse – En aktørbasert forestilling om menneskeverdet
Authors: Arntzen Sven
Published: January 2020

Dignity, according to one conception, is the absolute, inherent and inalienable value of every person. There is general agreement that this idea of dignity has a source in Immanuel Kant’s moral philosophy. I argue that Kant formulates what I characterize as an agency or agent based conception of dignity. Persons are bearers of dignity in their capacity as moral subjects and subjects of action. Central here is the idea that a rational agent is the subject of “any end whatsoever” and so must be considered the free cause of actions. Accordingly, to be treated merely as a thing, or “as a means”, is to be treated in a manner incompatible with having and acting for the sake of any end of one’s choosing. Also relevant in this connection is Alan Gewirth’s agency based theories of dignity and of human rights.
I then consider this conception of dignity in addressing three ethical issues: to let die or keep alive, assisted suicide, and so-called dwarf-tossing. Finally, I consider challenges to the idea of dignity in general and the agency based conception of dignity in particular.
TRADISI â€œLAWEANâ€ MASYARAKAT PESAYANGAN (STUDI LIVING QURâ€™AN)
Authors: Rakhman Itmam Aulia , Zakiyah Zakiyah
Published: January 2020

The tradition of Maulid is an expression of excitement at the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Nusantara, it has become a hereditary tradition that is able to unite Muslim community through various instruments of the event. Amidst the disputes that have plagued the community today, be that of differences in political preferences, ethnicity, groups, or else. Indeed, discourses that motivate togetherness and unity will be very important to be explored, so that the spirit of Unity in Diversity is maintained. One of the â€œritualsâ€ depicting togetherness and carrying out the spirit of cooperation, is the Lawean tradition of the Pesayangan Community which is held to celebrate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad on the 25th of Rabiul Awal every year. This tradition needs to be comprehensifely explored starting from its origins and everything lies behind it, why it is different from the traditions of maulid celebrations in other places which are usually held on around the 12th Rabiul Awal. The meaning of Lawean is also important to be revealed, as one of the rich horizon of Islam Nusantara.
 
Tradisi Maulid merupakan ungkapan kegembiraan atas kelahiran Nabi Muhammad di Nusantara, kegiatan ini telah menjadi tradisi turun temurun yang mampu menyatukan komunitas muslim dengan berbagai instrumen di dalamnya. Di tengah masalah perselisihan yang telah menjangkiti masyarakat saat ini, baik karena perbedaan pilihan politik, etnis, kelompok, dll, tentu saja wacana yang memotivasi kebersamaan dan persatuan akan sangat penting untuk dieksplorasi, sehingga Semangat Bhinneka Tunggal Ika tetap mampu dipertahankan. Salah satu â€œritualâ€ yang menggambarkan kebersamaan dan mengusung semangat gotong royong adalah Tradisi Lawean Masyarakat Pesayangan dalam perayaan Maulid Nabi Muhammad SAW. yang diadakan pada tanggal 25 Rabiul Awal setiap tahun. Tradisi ini perlu dieksplorasi dari asal-usulnya dan segala sesuatu yang ada di belakangnya, karena tradisi maulid tersebut berbeda dari tradisi perayaan maulid di tempat lain yang biasanya diadakan di bulan Rabiul Awal pada hari ke-12. Arti tradisi Lawean bagi masyarakat Pesayangan juga penting untuk diungkapkan, sebagai salah satu kekayaan khazanah Islam Nusantara.

The purpose of this study was to uncover and identify the psychological accumulation of the sea alms ceremony at Pedalen Beach. This is based on the religious style and cultural behavior of the Javanese people who tend to cultivate between Javanese culture and religion represented in the ceremony of sea alms tradition. The subject of this study was the caretaker of the Alms Pedalen Sea shore, while the object of the research was the psychological acculturation of the community (fishermen) as individuals and groups. The results of this study indicate that, first, the acculturation process tends to occur acceptance between the two parties, secondly, the form or form of acculturation is assimilative, namely accepting the almsgiving belief system as an expression of gratitude, third, the sea alms ceremony is also perceived and believed by the community (fishermen) Pedalen Beach to strengthen his faith in the Unseen.

 

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengungkap dan mengidentifikasi akulutrasi psikologis upacara sedekah laut di Pantai Pedalen. Hal ini didasari oleh corak keagamaan dan perilaku budaya masyarakat Jawa yang cenderung mengakulturasikan antara budaya Jawa dan agama yang terrepresentasikan dalam upacara tradisi sedekah laut. Subjek penelitian ini adalah juru kunci sedekah laut Pantai Pedalen, sedangkan objek penelitiannya adalah akulturasi psikologis masyarakat (nelayan) sebagai individu maupun kelompok. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa,pertama, proses akulturasi cenderung terjadi penerimaan antara kedua belah pihak, kedua, wujud atau bentuk akulturasinya adalah asimilatif, yakni menerima sistem keyakinan sedekah laut sebagai ungkapan syukur, ketiga, upacara sedekah laut juga dipersepsi dan diyakini oleh masyarakat (nelayan) Pantai Pedalen untuk meneguhkan keimanannya kepada Yang Gaib.
Evolución temporal del impacto tecnológico de las patentes mexicanas: una aplicación del algoritmo de maximización de expectativas

Published: January 2020

En este artículo se utiliza la metodología de Clarkson et al. (2007) para analizar el patrón de citas de patentes mexicanas registradas en Estados Unidos en 1968-2017. Con base en un algoritmo de maximización de expectativas y las citas posteriores de las patentes como indicador de su utilidad, encontramos tres grupos de perfiles distintos: el "rápido" recibe el mayor número de citas en una etapa muy temprana de su vida (5 años) comparado con el "medio" (10) y el "lento" (20). Además, el grupo "rápido" se asocia a patentes más recientes, menor proporción de dueños e inventores mexicanos y mayor valor económico.
The Dynamics in the Soft Numbers Coordinate System
Authors: Klein Moshe , Maimon Oded
Published: January 2020

"Soft Logic" extends the number 0 from a single point to a continuous line, which we term "The zero axis". One of the modern science challenges is finding a bridge between the real world outside the observer and the observer's inner world. In “Soft Logic” we suggested a constructive model of bridging the two worlds by defining, on the base of the zero axis, a new kind of numbers, which we called ‘Soft Numbers’.

Inspired by the investigation and visualization of fractals by Mandelbrot, within the investigation of the dynamics of some special function of a complex variable on the complex plane, we investigate in this paper the dynamics of soft functions on the plane strip with a special coordinate system. The recursive process that creates this soft dynamics allows us to discover new dynamics sets in a plane.
Conflicts and resolutions in managing water allocation at the watershed scale
Authors: Srdjevic Zorica , Srdjevic Bojan , Melo Paulo , Jorge Luísa
Published: January 2020

Multiple runs of a river basin model produced information about water allocation under different users’ priorities, creating a set of allocation scenarios as possible decision alternatives. To identify the most desired scenario that will, expectedly, be more readily accepted and implemented, involvement of stakeholders and reaching the consensus among them in evaluating scenarios are essential. This article describes methodology for integrating multi-criteria optimization as an efficient tool for the evaluation of scenarios in a group context, with river basin simulation-optimization models. Methodology was developed within the scope of the bilateral project Serbia–Portugal, and it consisted of five phases: defining the preference schemes of allocation, running the ACQUANET model, evaluating the criteria and strategies with analytic hierarchy process, aggregation and initial search for consensus in subgroups, and obtaining the final consensus converged result (best management strategy). The approach was tested on the water allocation problem in the Nadela watershed in Vojvodina Province in Serbia, with participation of 23 stakeholders. Promising results recommended the approach for the testing in different conditions in the area near Bragança in northeast Portugal (Sabor watershed).

Published: January 2020

Electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements on cells is a proven method to assess stem cell proliferation and differentiation. Cell regenerative medicine (CRM) is an emerging field where the need to develop and deploy stem cell assessment techniques is paramount as experimental treatments reach pre-clinical and clinical stages. However, EIS measurements on cells is a method requiring extensive post-processing and analysis. As a contribution to address this concern, we developed three machine learning models for three different stem cell lines able to classify the measured data as proliferation or differentiation laying the stone for future studies on using machine learning to profile EIS measurements on stem cells spectra.

Data were analyzed using correlation and regression analysis. Size of experimental unit was 1.6 m x 4.0 m, with planting density 125,000 plants ha-1. Urea, SP36 and KCl were applied at planting date in the rate of (kg ha-1) 45 N, 100 P2O5 and 50 K2O. Four stages of plant growth were studied: 25 days after planting (DAP); 6 weeks after planting (WAP); 10 WAP (pod filling) and 14 WAP (harvest). Five plants were sampled at 25 DAP, two plants at 6 WAP, 10 WAP and 14 WAP, and separated into leaves, stems, roots and pods. The average yield of two experimental stations showed that Biawak cultivar had the highest yield due to relatively higher aboveground dry weight (source), pod filling percentage and maximum number of gynophor+pods (potential sink). Jepara cultivar had the lowest yield due to low pod filling percentage and potential sink, although its source was considered to be in the medium category. Above ground dry weight at 6 and 10 WAP had close relation with Crop Growth Rate (CGR) during 25 DAP-6 WAP and 6-10 WAP, and the higher CGR during those periods were more related to leaf area index than to single leaf photosynthetic capacity. Keywords: crop growth rate, pod filling percentage, leaf area index, single leaf photosynthetic capacity

The objective of this research was to study the effect of bokashi livestock on the growth and yield of tomatoes. The experiment was conducted in Bandar Lampung from October 2009 until February 2010. The experimental design was randomized complete block design with 3 replications. The treatments were: control; inorganic fertilizers at a recommended rate of (kg ha-1) 135 N, 75 P2O5, and 110 K2O (RR); chicken manure bokashi + RR; chicken manure bokashi + 50% RR; cow manure bokashi + RR; cow manure bokashi + 50% RR; sheep manure bokashi + RR; sheep manure bokashi + 50% RR; horse manure bokashi + RR; horse manure bokashi + 50% RR. Each bokashi treatment was applied at the rate of 20 ton ha-1. The result of experiment showed that chicken manure bokashi was the best among bokashi livestock. The application of 50% RR combined with chicken, cow, sheep or horse manure bokashi gave a higher yield than treatment with inorganic fertilizer at recommended rates. These results demostrated that the application of bokashi livestock could potentially reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers while maintaining higher yield.

Light use efficiency is a crucial parameter in plant growth associated with accumulation of energy interception. Nitrogen and phosphorus deficiency reduce leaf area index (LAI) and specific leaf nitrogen and phosphorus (SLN and SLP) content and reduce efficiency of light intercepted by plant canopy structure. This research was conducted in Kebun Bunga Mayang PTPN VII, North Lampung Regency, Lampung Province (04050’S, 104052’E, 38 m above sea level) from July 2008 to September 2009. Treatments were distributed in the field under a randomized complete block design factorial with three replications. The increase in nitrogen fertilizer (N) improved sugarcane light use efficiency. The light use efficiency of the sugarcane plants fertilized with 225 kg N ha-1 was 2.29 g MJ-1 at maximum stem phase. On the contrary, the increasing of phosphor (P) fertilizer did not affect light use efficiency but increased stem dry matter at maximum seedling phase or about 3 month after planting (3 MAP), at maximum stem phase (9 MAP), and at harvest (11 MAP); total dry matter at seedling phase (5 MAP) and at maximum stem phase (9 MAP). Nitrogen did not interact with P in affecting light use efficiency. Keywords: fertilization N and P, interception radiation, light use efficiency, sugarcane

Digoxin is widely used in the treatment of congestive heart failure and some arrhythmias. Digoxin toxicity may occur easily because digoxin has a narrow therapeutic index. This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the clinical signs and symptoms of toxic serum digoxin levels in neonates. Medical reports of the neonates who had serum digoxin concentrations > 2 nanogram/milliliter (ng/ml) were reviewed in terms of patient demographics, serum digoxin concentrations, signs and symptoms of digoxin toxicity, serum digoxin and electrolyte levels, renal function tests, electrocardiograms, echocardiography, and treatments applied. Digoxin toxic levels were identified in the 13 neonates. Of the 13 neonates with digoxin toxic level, 9 (69%) were term and 8 (62%) were female. Twenty-three percent (3/13) of newborn infants were symptomatic. Symptomatic patients had statistically significantly higher serum digoxin levels, at 7.76±2.76 (5.4-10.8) ng/ml, than asymptomatic patients, at 3.31±1.09 (2.02-4.95) (p=0.036). Symptoms related to toxic digoxin levels were observed in the three neonates with plasma digoxin levels > 5 ng/ml. Gastrointestinal and central nervous system symptoms were the major clinic findings. Despite high digoxin levels, no digoxin-related arrhythmia was observed on electrocardiography, other than sinus bradycardia. Two premature neonates were treated with digoxin-specific antibody Fab fragments (DigiFab®) and hypokalemia developed in both of them. Our data suggests that symptoms related with digoxin toxic levels were observed in neonates with plasma digoxin levels > 5 ng/ml. Serum digoxin levels should be measured in case of signs and symptoms of digoxin toxicity or risk factors for such toxicity.
