Authors: Keymasi Ziba , Sadeghi Abbas , Pourrazi Hassan
Published: June 2020

Background and aims: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is associated with fat accumulation and deposition in liver cells, is a serious risk factor for other diseases such as cardiovascular disorders and diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Pilates training on hepatic fat content and liver enzymes in men with NAFLD in 2019. Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 20 men with NAFLD were randomly divided into Pilates training (n=10) and control (n=10) groups. The Pilates group participated in the Pilates training program for eight weeks (three 60-minute sessions per week), whereas the control group engaged in no regular physical activity. The body composition, anthropometric indices, liver fat content, serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were measured before and after the training period. Eventually, data were analyzed using paired and independent t tests at a significance level of 0.05 by SPSS 18. Results: After eight weeks of Pilates training, liver fat content in the Pilates group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P=0.001). Further, the serum levels of ALT, AST, and ALP significantly decreased in the Pilates group compared to the control group (P=0.04, P=0.05, and P=0.02, respectively). In addition, eight weeks of Pilates training significantly reduced body weight, body mass index (BMI), fat percentage, and the waist-to-hip ratio of patients, while no significant changes were observed in the control group. Conclusion: The results of the present study indicated that Pilates training could be effective in improving liver fat content and reducing the serum levels of ALT, AST, and ALP in men with NAFLD. Furthermore, Pilates training helps to improve body composition and anthropometric indices in patients afflicted with NAFLD and can have a role in the management of this condition.

Background and aims: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the most common treatable physical growth disorders leading to mental retardation. Most cases of this disease can be detected through the neonatal screening program. Given the high prevalence of this disease and the implementation of screening programs in recent years in Iran, this study aimed to assess the growth indices of newborns with CH. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 66 newborns with CH detected in the screening program in Shahrekord were selected by a census sampling method. Overall, 125 healthy newborns were also selected as controls by the convenience sampling technique according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The height, weight, head circumference, and body mass index (BMI) of the samples were measured and then the mean, median, standard deviation, as well as the 3rd, 15th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 85th, and 97th percentiles in the two groups were determined and compared based on gender and age group. Results: The height, weight, head circumference, and BMI of the boys, in addition to the head circumference and BMI of the girls, were not significantly different from those of the controls (P>0.05). However, the height and weight of the girls were significantly lower compared to those in the control group, although the difference in the weight was corrected at the age of 9 months. Conclusion: In general, the growth indices of newborns with CH were lower than those of the controls. This difference was significant only for the weight and height of girls with CH.

Published: June 2020

As per Human Development Index of 2019 report, India is in the 129th rank. Nearly 28% of the Indian population lives below the poverty line. As per another report from The Lancet journal on healthcare index, India is in 154th position among the 195 countries. According to India’s Annual Status of Education Report 2017, 14% of children in the age group of 14-18 are not enrolled in any school system. Education, health and living standards are the primary factors to measure the quality of life in any social settings. Giving this grim view of social conditions in India, the role of public institutions as well as individual members’ are crucial in lending adequate support to the society to enhance the standings of living conditions. According to a study published in 2011, only 2% of news space were being given to the issues pertinent to development by the leading Indian national newspapers. Many news stories in these 2%, might have appeared due to 'Coups and earthquakes syndrome’ type of events that contained news values of death, disease and disaster. From the perspective of Sustainable Development Goals, the participatory approach of individuals is more meaningful in order to achieve the stated 17 goals as well as 169 targets. Apart from the government’s initiative for the SDGs and substantial fundings from the donor agencies, awareness about the SDGs is essential and ideal for the bottom-up approach towards achieving the development goals and its targets by 2030. In this respect, with the help of twitteR package of and text mining tools of R programming, citizen’s voice was measured for those keywords and its equivalent hashtags which were appeared in June 2018. English is being the elite language in India, one regional language Tamil would be included to compare the non-English private sphere with regard to SDGs in Indian context.

Authors: ŞIMŞEK Asuman , KURU GÖNEN Safiye İpek
Published: June 2020

Questioning is one of the most frequent strategies used by teachers during classroom interaction. Therefore, teachers employ different type(s) of questions during classroom interaction due to the uniqueness of each language classroom. This study was conducted to identify the question types asked by teachers and discover the pedagogical goals of these questions. Besides, teachers' opinions regarding question types they asked during classroom were investigated. A mixed-method research design was followed. Quantitative data was gathered through a descriptive analysis of questions types used in the classroom. Qualitative data was obtained via semi-structured interviews and stimulated recalls based on classroom observations. Three EFL teachers working at a private university preparatory school participated in this study. Their classes were observed by one of the researchers three times. The video and audio recordings were analyzed and then semi-structured interviews and stimulated recalls were carried out. The results of the study yielded that referential and display questions were the two most common question types. While referential questions were common in classroom context mode, display questions were much more common than referential questions in materials mode. The number of referential questions mostly doubled the number of display questions in classroom context mode. Even though teachers are not aware of the name of the question types, they use the questions based on the pedagogic goals of the classroom.

Published: June 2020

This study aimed at unveiling the impact of genre-based critical literacy instruction on adult English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ reading comprehension. Twenty-three preparatory year students enrolled at a state university in the western part of Turkey volunteered to participate in this quasi-experimental study. The reading section of the Testing of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) was administered as the pretests and posttests. Following the pretests, a four-week genre-based reading instruction curriculum was implemented in both groups. In the experimental group, text critiquing activities were incorporated into instruction in addition to code breaking, text participating, and text using activities. In the control group, on the other hand, only code breaking, text participating, and text using activities were involved in the teaching process. At the end of the instruction process, the posttest was administered. The Related-Samples Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and the Mann-Whitney U Test were used to analyze the data. The results of the study did not show a significant difference in the pretest and posttest scores of the experimental and control groups, which was not in line with the studies that have been previously conducted. This study implies that an extended intervention period is required to reach more definite results. Further research with a larger sampling is needed to examine the efficacy of critical literacy instruction.

In this study, we investigated total phenolic, total flavonoid, and antioxidant properties of methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of Salvia vertisillate L., Salvia tomentosa, and Phlomis lychnitis L. Antioxidant potentials of the extracts were determined by (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity. The total phenolic content and total flavonoid content were evaluated by spectrophotometric method. Methanol extract of Salvia vertisillate was found to be the highest total phenolic and total flavonoid content. The same extract revealed the most significant antioxidant effect with SC50 value of 0.01±0.mg/mL. Strong positive correlations were also found between DPPH and total flavonoid content (R=0.904; p<0.01), total phenolic content (R=0.963; p<0.01). This relationship indicated that flavonoids contribute greatly to this bioactivity together with other phenolic compounds. Results indicate that the methanol extract of Salvia vertisillate L. proved to be a good sources for medicine and food industry as a natural antioxidant.

Authors: USLU ŞENEL Gülşad
Published: June 2020

In this study, the effect of temperature, pH, initial metal concentration and adsorbent dosage on Cu(II) adsorption onto carbonized peanut hull (PHC) was investigated. Activated carbon was prepared from peanut hull. It was produced by carbonization in carbon diokside atmosphere at 500 °C for 1.0 h. The maximum Cu (II) adsorption capacity was obtained as 168.16 mg/g for 500 mg/L initial Cu (II) at pH = 4.0 and 60 °C. The Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models were used for the mathematical description of the adsorption equilibrium. The best interpretation for the experimental data was given by the Freundlich isotherm and the maximum adsorption capacity was obtained. Batch adsorption models, based on the assumption of the pseudo-first and pseudo-second order mechanism, were applied to examine the kinetics of the adsorption. Kinetic data fitted the pseudo-second kinetic order model. Thermodynamic functions, the change of free energy (Go), enthalpy (Ho) and entropy (So) of copper adsorption on PHC were calculated as -23.21 kjmol-1 (at 60 oC), 15.94 kjmol-1 and 117.59 kjmol-1 K-1, respectively, indicating the spontaneous, endothermic and the increased randomness nature of Cu2+ adsorption. The results show that adsorption of Cu (II) on PHC is an.

Published: June 2020

Baterai merupakan media penyimpanan energi listrik dalam bentuk energi kimia yang dapat dikonversikan menjadi daya. Dalam kasus yang ditemukan baterai mudah mengalami kerusakan dan memiliki life time yang pendek. Kerusakan pada baterai disebabkan karena penggunaan yang tidak ideal dan baterai tidak dilengkapi sistem proteksi dan monitoring, sehingga baterai tetap beroperasi meskipun dalam kondisi over-voltage, over-current dan over-heat saat charging dan ditambah mengalami under-voltage pada saat discharging. Pada jurnal ini disampaikan perancangan sistem BMS (Battery Management System) untuk 2 jenis baterai yaitu Lead Acid 12V 7Ah dan Li-ion 12V 4Ah. BMS memiliki tiga fungsi, yaitu computation , monitoring ,dan protection. Sensor tegangan, sensor arus ACS 712 dan sensor suhu DHT22 digunakan untuk mengirimkan informasi mengenai kondisi baterai ke mikrokontroler Arduino Mega 2560 sebagai pusat kendali. Akurasi pengukuran State Of Charge (SOC) mempunyai aspek yang penting dalam perancangan Battery Management System. Pengukuran  SOC secara tepat dapat menghindarkan baterai dari kondisi  overcharge dan undercharge.  Dari  hasil  pengujian diharapkan bahwa BMS mampu membaca nilai tegangan, arus, suhu, SOC, AH, dan WH. Hasil pembacaan parameter dapat tersimpan pada SD Card. Sistem proteksi pada BMS akan aktif ketika baterai dalam kondisi tidak ideal sehingga baterai tidak mudah rusak dan dapat menekan penurunan life time.

Jamur merang merupakan komoditas sayuran yang bernilai ekonomi tinggi tetapi harus selalu dijaga dalam keadaan segar, dimana kendala pada jamur merang tersebut memiliki umur simpan lebih rendah dari sayuran lainnya. Cara untuk memperpanjang umur simpan jamur merang tersebut maka harus disimpan pada temperatur sekitar 5±1°C dengan kelembapan sekitar RH 90-95%, oleh karena itu dibutuhkan suatu pengendalian agar bisa mempertahan kelembapan dan temperatur tersebut agar sesuai dengan setpoint yang diberikan, dimana setpoint untuk kelembapan=RH 93% dan temperatur= 5°C. Dalam penelitian ini metode kendali yang digunakan adalah Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC)-PD, yaitu salah satu metode yang dapat menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut karena MRAC terdapat mekanisme kendali adaptif yang bertujuan untuk mengendalikan keluaran sistem sama dengan model referensi yang diberikan dan pengendali PD digunakan untuk membantu MRAC agar sistem kerjanya menjadi lebih baik. Berdasarkan simulasi dan analisa respon keluaran sistem pendingin jamur merang menggunakan kendali MRAC-PD didapat hasil pengendalian kelembapan yaitu error steady state = RH 0%, overshoot= 0%  dan Rise Time=22.3829 detik, dan untuk pengendalian suhu error steady state= 0°C, overshoot= 0%  dan Rise Time= 858.0282 detik.
Perancangan Sistem Kontrol Level Nonlinier Menggunakan Fuzzy-PID Supervision
Authors: Hamdani Chalidia Nurin
Published: June 2020

Sistem level merupakan sistem yang banyak ditemukan di industri. Sistem ini dapat dikategorikan sebagai sistem nonlinier karena dinamika dan deadtime yang dimilikinya. Salah satu karakteristik dari sistem ini adalah perubahan dinamika ketika set-point yang diberikan berubah. Akibatnya, kontroler PID konvensional dengan parameter tetap tidak mampu mengendalikan sistem ini dengan baik. Perlu dilakukan tuning ulang pada kontroler PID untuk menyesuaikan perubahan dinamika. Dalam paper ini, kami merancang sistem kontrol level menggunakan PID dengan parameter yang disupervisi oleh kontrol fuzzy. Sebagai kontroler utama, PID dirancang menggunakan metode Direct Synthesis (DS) untuk semua titik kerja yang ditentukan. Kontrol fuzzy dirancang berdasarkan nilai-nilai parameter PID yang diperoleh dari perhitungan metode DS. Hasil rancangan disimulasikan menggunakan software MATLAB. Simulasi menunjukkan bahwa sistem kontrol level hasil rancangan mampu mencapai set-point yang diberikan dengan settling time ts (±5%) berkisar antara 4 s.d. 6,5 detik, zero overshoot dan zero offset. Perbandingan dengan sistem kontrol PID konvensional juga menunjukkan hasil yang baik. Sistem kontrol level hasil rancangan rancangan mampu menjamin respon yang memenuhi performa zero overshoot dan zero offset.

There have been very few studies done over the world to determine the profitability of firms given the firms expected financial leverage or debt equity structure. Studies from all over the world have identified various factors that are vital in influencing the target debt equity structure of firms. However, different factors vary in terms of their influence on determining the optimal debt equity structure of firms for different countries. This paper researches into various firm specific factors for medium sized companies in India and makes an in-depth analysis to establish the relationship of their impact on medium sized firms which move towards the target debt equity structure through a dynamic process. The medium sized companies have been sampled keeping in mind the market capitalization of these firms in India. This research work tries to explain those factors which have an influence on achieving the optimum debt equity structure for medium sized firms and tries to study how these firms could use their resources in consolidating upon these firm specific factors for the overall profitability of the firms. This line of research has been rarely tried in the Indian context and it promises an innovative insight into scientific research on determining a firm’s profitability. This research work is based on a very unique analytical tool namely the General Method of Moments (GMM) which is a Nobel award winning analytical tool first proposed by its founder Lars Peter Hansen in 1982.This research work is purely quantitative and empirical in nature and is academically relevant for academicians and industry equally.
Exploring the Role of Merchant Banker as Capital Market Intermediary: With Special Reference to Role Played Under Stock Market
Authors:   Subhajit Chakraborty, Assistant Professor of Law, Adamas University., Chakraborty Subhajit
Published: June 2020

For smooth and effective governance of corporate organizations and to achieve a sustainable development in the corporate fraternity, organizations require finance both for financing the fixed capital as well as for working capital. Finance is such an important aspect of business that enterprises cannot sustain without its interference and as such right from its incorporation till it’s winding up finance occupies a pivotal position. It is not only for the small and big enterprises which requires finance but also the entire economic structure of the country keeps reliance on it. As corporate sector contributes towards Indian economy about 53 % of Gross Domestic Product, the role of security market under the cloak of Security Exchange Board of India plays an important role in contributing to the Indian Economy. Security market also known as the stock market is a platform where a company can raise its fund or share-capital through the means of various kinds of marketable and financial instruments carrying voting rights, interest and payment of dividend both at domestic and international level. For a sustainable corporate governance, a compliance framework has to be established which will help and support the risk management system during identifying the sources of corporate funding and the pools of fund both from domestic capital market and international markets. Corporates should first create an established framework which will help them to evaluate and assess their financial requirement to the extent of managing funds from various sources. It is true that a company issues securities to the investors through the mechanism of initial public offering and further public offering in primary market and in furtherance such securities are additionally traded in secondary market through the platform of recognized stock exchange which makes it crystal clear that there is no direct congruence or connection between the issuer company and the security holders. In this gap the role played by the intermediaries are pertinent for the operations relating to issuance and trading of securities and as such merchant banker is one of the key intermediary in capital market appointed by the issuer company for public issue management. The paper will focus on the role played by the merchant banker in primary market. It will also attempt to define how the merchant banker functions with due regard to public issue management, credit rating of shares and how it complies with the changing laws and regulations for an effective management of corporate transactions.
A CONSTRUÇÃO DO NACIONALISMO EM GONÇALVES DE MAGALHÃES

Published: June 2020

A geração que iniciou o Romantismo no Brasil se organizou com um trabalho artístico e reformador em torno da pátria, sendo responsável por refletir sistematicamente a identidade nacional, preconizando o estudo acerca do Brasil. Tal geração despontava, no início do século XIX, influenciada pelos ideais estéticos revolucionários, surgidos na Alemanha e na França. Mas o romantismo foi, sobretudo, um movimento de transformações político-sociais, que mudaram as relações estruturais mais objetivas do ocidente. Gonçalves de Magalhães, com a obra Suspiros Poéticos e Saudades (1836), deu início ao movimento romântico e a transformação estética. Embora tivesse um espírito conservador, calcado em heranças neoclássicas, foi ele um importante escritor da época, pois consolidou as diretrizes da estética nacionalista: religião, saudosismo, cor local – três aspectos que o leitor encontra em seu livro. O grupo de Magalhães promoveu a revolução estética, criando uma revista -“Niterói” (revista brasiliense), órgão difusor de ciência e arte. Desde o início, o poeta esteve empenhado no trabalho de pesquisa acerca do Brasil, para em versos cantar a terra e louvar a pátria. Analisamos neste paper como o trabalho a produção literária de Gonçalves de Magalhães delineia a construção do conceito de nação no Brasil oitocentista, para tanto utilizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica que analisa o livro de poesias Suspiros poéticos e saudades a parir das teorias de Cândido (2014), Anderson (2008), Detienne (2013), Benjamin (1994/2018), Said (2011), dentre outros autores.

Na primeira metade do século XX, a cidade de Itabuna apresentava uma profícua produção jornalística, cuja história não se encontra satisfatoriamente documentada, havendo apenas estudos isolados de testemunhos da época. Dessa maneira, este artigo tem como objetivo demonstrar, na existência (materialidade) desses jornais, publicados, entre 1914 e 1952, um arquivo (porque fechado) de memórias que vêm à tona e reúnem elementos que dão um significado especial a uma dimensão histórica de relevância para a memória cultural. Tal pesquisa ancora-se, sobretudo, nos conceitos de Memória e Memória cultural, propostos por Jacques Le Goff (1990), Aleida Assmann (2011) et al. O corpus de análise é composto pelos jornais O Labor (1914), O Esporte (1922), O Pharol (1925), O Echo (1925), O Fanal (1935), Voz de Itabuna (1952), e indica que a imprensa jornalística dessa época se constitui como materialização de uma herança histórica e, simultaneamente, fonte, ou seja, documentos da memória cultural.

O escritor Jorge Medauar (1918-2003) inicia sua carreira como poeta nos anos1940. Em 1958, estreia na prosa com o livro Água preta. Sua carreira exitosa de prosadorse estenderia até o final dos anos 1990, perfazendo mais de uma dezena de livros, prêmiose reconhecimento da crítica. O ponto central de nossa análise é o deslocamento crítico queo narrador realiza no conto “O apito” para as margens das relações de poder no contextosul-baiano, apresentando uma perspectiva melancólica frente aos discursos demodernização conservadora ligados à “civilização cacaueira”. Embora tematize o mesmoambiente social, geográfico e político que conterrâneos canônicos como Adonias Filho eJorge Amado, o contista apresenta personagens complexos e periféricos que colocamcontrapontos aos pactos e disputas políticas ligadas à produção cacaueira e ao coronelismo.A obra de Medauar abre possibilidades interessantes para se pensar o processo demodernização conservadora na região e a própria função da literatura regional.

Published: June 2020

The 3rd Generation Partnership
Project (3GPP) specification of the fifth generation (5G) New Radio (NR) allows
for a highly scalable and flexible radio access technology to cater to network
operators with different requirements. Such scalability and flexibilities in network configurations inevitably
translate to complications in the design
and implementation of 5G-NR systems. Radio access in 5G-NR is much more complex
and involved than its predecessor, 4G long
term evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced technology.
Therefore, the 5G-NR specifications turn out to be quite dense. Specifically, the
specifications are concise, design motivations rarely explained, and the
information can be convoluted or distributed across several documents.
Moreover, there are several key design details associated with the access layer
procedures for any given physical layer channel, which are often omitted in the
specifications. For example, design motivation aspects of initial access
channels or signal generation can be quite difficult to follow or understand in
5G-NR. In this paper, all the design details associated with initial access
channels and signal generation in 5G-NR specifications are laid out. The
contributions of the paper are three folds. First, the
design details and justifications associated with both downlink and uplink
access channels are presented along with signal generation details. Secondly,
receiver design aspects of NR PRACH short formats are discussed. Lastly, PRACH receiver
implementation aspects and performance reports from different network operators
are presented and compared with 3GPP specified Radio Performance and Protocol
aspect requirements[1] for millimeter wave (mmW) access. The
work in this paper is of significant value to researchers and system engineers
looking to design and build initial access algorithms as part of 5G NR systems.

[1] Radio Performance and Protocol aspect
requirements are specified by the 3GPP Radio Access Network working group 4,
also known as RAN4.

Noise mapping is the best way to present information on the acoustic pollution. To design noise protection measures, authors use modern software package SoundPLAN, which is based on the up-to-date normative documentation and scientific researches. The program allows importing the results of calculations to Autodesk tools. Improving the efficiency of the noise protection design process is executed through the implementation of building information modeling (BIM). Data exchange between SoundPLAN, AutoCAD 3D or Revit and Navisworks is used in the development of building information model. In the article we present a new approach to noise reduction through implementation of noise data into the overall information model of the infrastructure or building project. BIM helps to track the collision of calculated noise levels with residential buildings, protected premises and work places. It lays a basis for the sound proof allocation of work places and development of protection measures. BIM also serves as a support tool for the design process of sound protection barriers, since it helps to avoid interconnection of noise barriers basement with engineering networks or paste a barrier in the proper place to provide its efficiency.

The development of website technology is currently very rapidly developing. In general, the use of websites in government agencies is not new and has become common in government agencies, one of which is in the realm of the ministry. The website is used for various purposes, ranging from information for the public to operational activities. Website about Jaringan Dokumentasi dan Informasi Hukum (JDIH) is a form of implementation of regulations that state that all things about law are public information, so the public must be able to access information related to legal products from the ministry. For this reason, we are trying to identify the framework of each Ministry’s JDIH website using Wappalyzer to analyze how the website distributes its legal products in terms of appearance and features. From this analysis, there is no standardization used on the Ministry's JDIH website.
