Authors: YOLCU Ece , DİMİCİ Kadriye
Published: September 2020

There has been a testing period for the implementation of the foreign language oriented curriculum to understand its contribution to language learning for the fifth graders, in Turkey recently. Accordingly, by considering the experience of the students, teachers and school administrators in the schools where this curriculum is implemented, this study aims at developing suggestions to determine the improvements for the foreign language oriented curriculum, which is to be practiced in the fifth grade of middle school in Turkey as a pilot study during the year of 2017-2018 and planned to be practiced across the country in the upcoming years. The study was carried out with concurrent triangulation design, a mixed method design. The participants consisted of 209 fifth grade students, 6 English teachers and 4 school administrators in Hatay. The data was collected from the students through the survey developed by the researchers and for the interviews with teachers and administrators, two separate semi-structured interview forms were used. Descriptive statistics, thematic and content analyses were utilized for the analysis of data. Validity and reliability of the data were strengthened by the use of various techniques such as getting expert opinion, pilot practice of the data collection tools, data diversity and coder compatibility. The findings of the study show that the participants are generally satisfied with this practice and support the continuation of it on the condition that some problems are solved. Students expressed positive views in the improvement of language skills except for speaking skill. However, some emergent problems related to the practice were revealed. Moreover, there could be possible risks of practicing this curriculum throughout the country considering regional differences, other lessons’ hours and teacher insufficiency. It is essential to evaluate it continuously in terms of creating a sustainable curriculum and implementing it efficiently.

External funding and emergent technology inputs
Authors: Levitas Edward , McFadyen M. Ann
Published: September 2020

The research and development (R&D) process is critical to a firm’s competitive advantage and often requires external funding.  Yet, we know little about how different types of investors respond to the cash needs of established R&D intensive firms nor about how external financial analysts influence those decisions.  We address these gaps by examining how a firm’s patenting activity affects its ability to raise cash.  We distinguish the motivations of two investor groups: open-market and alliance partners.  We focus on how patents based on emergent technologies impact two types of investors and their willingness to fund the R&D process.  We develop theory and test our hypotheses using data from publicly traded biopharmaceutical firms by drawing upon knowledge-based view, alliance, and investment theories.  We find evidence that patents built upon emergent technologies are viewed differently by the two types of investors.  We find open market investors were less likely to invest in emergent technologies and invested less when they did.  Conversely, alliance partner investors would be more appreciative of the opportunities new technology inputs present, thus, more likely to invest in firms using emergent technologies and invest more.

Video 5: How to make your own paper making frame and paper
Authors: Schudel Ingrid
Published: September 2020

Intended audience: Primary school science and technology teachers and learners

I have been doing paper-making workshops with children for 20 years where we recycle waste paper to make decorative recycled paper. The problem is that all website videos I have ever been able to find show you how to make paper using an expensive wooden frame. This means that if you show either learners or teachers how to make paper, they will never do so at home because the frame is too difficult to come by. This video shows how to make an effective frame using a plastic container and stretchy mesh that is used to pack lemons in supermarkets. Now, student teachers can all leave my workshops with their own frames that they can use with their learners in their classrooms OR which they can help their own learners to make for themselves. This greatly extends the potential for implementing this activity in poorly resourced classrooms. Also, it combination with the ‘why recycle paper’ video, it is an effective way of showing the relationship between science and technology in primary school classrooms.
Creolization and Creole People in Early Modern Caribbean Colonial Societies
Authors: Zhu Wenzheng
Published: September 2020

Creolization is one of the most fascinating topics for regional studies on the Americas. Previously, scholars across various academic disciplines have extensively studied and viewed creolization in the substantial content under the trend—how did creolization proceed—such as the material and cognitive development of creole cultures and peoples: their way of living, and the linguistic aspect of creolization has been especially focused on. This paper, however, focuses more on the palpable impacts of creolization and delves into the way in which such ethnic convergence influenced the sociopolitical environment of colonial societies, or the impacts of the process, which provides a better understanding of how the dynamic of creolization affected the colonial societies back then, instead of merely informing the readers of how creolization was happening. Specific primary and secondary sources have been used and referenced, based on which the study has been conducted. The study has reached a conclusion that creolization had a complicating impact on the sociopolitical environment of the colonial Caribbean.
Study of the physico-chemical quality of Curcuma longa (powder and rhizome) marketed in the town of Sétif
Authors: Tedjari N , Douadi N
Published: September 2020

Over the past two to three decades, renewed interest has been shown in the Curcuma longa plant because of the multiple properties attributed to its spice, properties that are traditionally recognized or empirically observed over hundreds of years of use.  Curcuma longa is a herbaceous plant belonging to the Zingiberaceae family, cultivated in India and Southeast Asia and considered a coloring spice. Turmeric, especially its rhizome (the underground part), has been used not only as a food spice, but also as a medicinal plant since time immemorial in China and India. The recognition of its medicinal properties is therefore recent in the West. The history of Curcuma is also being written in the future, as much scientific research is being carried out, particularly on the effects of one of its main components, curcuma, in the prevention and treatment of certain cancers. It is in this context that the aim of this work is to evaluate certain parameters of the physicochemical quality of this plant, such as the level of impurity, ash content, moisture content, soluble and insoluble ashes in water, coloring power and chromatography on thin layers on the basis of the standards dictated by the French official journal (JORF).This study was carried out on the two rhizome and powder forms of Curcuma longa marketed. For this, five spice shops (2 samples / shop) were selected at random in the town of Sétif. Analyses of the samples taken were carried out with the collaboration of two laboratories: one INSFP (National Institute for Specialized Professional Training Hadadi Cherif el Hidhab Setif) and the other ERIAD (Riad Setif). The results obtained vary from one type to another and from one store to another.  The analysis of the variance of impurity levels, moisture content, acid insoluble ash and TLC is significant whereas it is not for other parameters such as: total ash, water insoluble ash and colouring power.

Authors: Nwachukwu Nkemakolam , Ubieko Edwin  Aboje
Published: September 2020

This study is aimed at evaluating the disintegrant properties of starches obtained from cassava (Manihot esculenta), sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) and yellow corn (Zea mays). Matured tubers of cassava and potato were peeled, cut into smaller pieces, wet milled and their slurries washed severally with distilled water to obtain cassava and potato starches respectively. Matured seeds of yellow corn were steeped in distilled water for 24 h, wet milled and washed to separate the starch from the cellulose. The starches were dried at 50 ˚C after which they were characterized using standard methods. The starches at 10 % w/w were applied as disintegrants in the formulation of metronidazole tablets using wet granulation technology. Corn starch (British Pharmacopoeia) at 10 % w/w was used as comparing standard. The ibuprofen granules were evaluated for their micromeritic properties and thereafter compressed into ibuprofen tablets. Evaluation of the ibuprofen tablets for their physical properties, assay and dissolution studies were done using British Pharmacopoeia methods. Results showed that the materials extracted were starches, and they had a poor flow. The ibuprofen granules were flowable and compressible. Ibuprofen tablets compressed from these granules had good physical properties: minimal weight variation (604.00 ± 0.04 – 606.00 mg ± 0.03%), hardness (5.32 ± 0.41 – 6.33 ± 0.64 kgF), disintegration time < 15.00 min and friability < 1.00%. Assay and dissolution of metronidazole from the tablets complied with British Pharmacopoeia criteria. Cassava, potato, and yellow corn starches served as good disintegrants in ibuprofen tablet formulations.

Authors: Zahzeh Meriem Rabia , Aribi Mourad , Zahzeh Touria
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is part of the lympho-proliferative syndromes, it is a heterogeneous group of tumors whose incidence has been increasing in recent years. A disruption of protein and lipid profiles is verified during this pathology as well as an increase in the levels of specific markers of inflammation.

Objective: Our study aims to explore protein and lipid profiles and highlight an inflammatory syndrome via the assay of parameters of acute inflammation in patients with NHL and healthy subjects in western Algeria.

Methods: A case-control study comprising 100 patients with NHL and 40 healthy subjects was carried out. Protein and lipid profiles were respectively studied by assays for total protein and globulins and analysis of cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The inflammatory status was demonstrated by studying two parameters: C reactive protein (CRP) and sedimentation rate (VS).

Results: Our results demonstrated an increase in alpha1-globulin and a decrease in gamma-globulin in patients compared to controls (p <0.05). The lipid profile study showed no significant difference for cholesterol but a significant increase in triglycerides in patients with NHL (p <0.05). A highly significant difference in CRP and VS levels between our two groups (p <0.01) with a marked increase in patients demonstrated the presence of acute inflammatory syndrome.

Conclusion: This study allowed us to highlight the alterations in protein and lipid profiles found in NHL and the presence of an inflammatory state, involved in the pathophysiology of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in particular.

Keywords: non-Hodgkin lymphoma, protein profile, lipid profile, CRP, VS.

Published: September 2020

The plants of the genus Phlomis are native to Turkey, North Africa, Europe and Asia.  Phlomis bovei De Noé (Lamiaceae) is a rare Algerian endemic plant, commonly known as Kayat El Adjarah. The objective of this study is to quantify the polyphenol content and to evaluate the antioxidant activities of the ethanolic extract (EthE) of Phlomis bovei De Noé. The plant extract was prepared by macerating 100 g of ground material in 1000 ml of 85 % ethanol for 72 h, then the filtrate was evaporated using a rotary evaporator at a temperature of 45C and the filtrate was dried. The total content in polyphenols was determined using Folin Ciocalteu method. Flavonoid content in extracts was determined using Aluminum trichloride assay and the total content of tannins was determined according to Bate Smith method. The antioxidant activity was investigated in vitro by the DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl), ABTS and iron chelating assays. The results indicate that the ethanol extract was rich in polyphenols and has an important capacity of scavenging the DPPH and ABTS free radical with an IC50 of 0.05 and 0.018 mg/ml, respectively. However, in the ferrous ions chelating ability test, PBEE extract showed moderate chelating activity (IC50 = 1.59 ± 0.05 mg/ml). To conclude, the obtained results may contribute to add possible scientific data to use Phlomis bovei industrially as herbal medicine and as supplementary sources for natural antioxidant drugs in food.

Keywords: antioxidant activity, ethanol extract, Phlomis bovei De Noé, polyphenol content.

Authors: Mashru Rajashree , Trivedi Manthan
Published: September 2020

The presented research work aims to develop and validate UV-Spectrophotometric as well as RP-HPLC methods for the simultaneous estimation of Beclomethasone Dipropionate (BDP) and Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate (FFD). These methods offer a higher degree of sensitivity than the already present methods of analysis. By implementing advanced spectroscopic techniques such as Dual Wavelength Method and First Derivative Spectroscopy it is found that the sensitivity of the methods is increased. The linearity of both the methods was in the range of 10µg/ml to 50µg/ml for BDP and 1µg/ml to 5µg/ml for FFD, with an r2 value of 0.999 and 0.9988 respectively for Dual Wavelength Method and First Derivative Method. The LOD values of Dual Wavelength Method and First Derivative Method were found to be 0.127µg/ml and 0.016µg/ml respectively. A RP-HPLC Method has also been developed and validated for this combination having a linearity in range of 50µg/ml to 250µg/ml for BDP and 1.5µg/ml to 7.5µg/ml for FFD. The r2 value of BDP and FFD was found to be 0.9995 and 0.994. The application of this RP-HPLC Method may also be extended for the simultaneous estimation of a triple combination of Beclomethasone Dipropionate, Formoterol Fumarate and Glycopyrronium Bromide (GPB).

Published: September 2020

Bu makale İsrail Milli Kütüphanesi Kataloglarında yer alan İbranice dilinde basılmış Tarihi Yahudi Basınının kataloğundan hareketle Yahudi Basınının tarihsel süreç içerisinde hangi tür dinamiklerin etkisiyle şekillendiğini kısa bir şekilde ortaya koymaya çalışmaktadır. Yahudi hayatının Avrupa’da sıkışmışlığı ve yer yer resmi otoriterlerce baskı görülmesi Yahudilerin aralarındaki dayanışma ağlarının önemini onlara hatırlatmıştır. Kolektif hafızada dayanışmaya ve yakınlaşmaya verilen önem zamanla Avrupa’da görülen aydınlanma hareketinin de itkisiyle yazılı eserlerin ortaya çıkmasına ve yaygınlaşmasına yol açmıştır. Bu durum modern basının gelişiminin de katkısıyla Yahudiler arasında gündelik haberlerin, kültürel gelişmelerin ve küresel olayların gazeteler yoluyla yayılmasına sebep olmuştur.

The youth age period (0-14 age), which is one of the most important periods of human life, is also an important demographic indicator for countries. In this study, youth population, twenty five percent of the total population in Turkey, is examined from the perspective of time and space on provincial level. The traditional coefficient of variation (CV) approach was used to analyze the development of the young population parameter over time. Behind, Moran I index value, which has become a traditional method, has been used to measure the distribution of the young population parameter in space. According to the CV results, the youth age population diversity increases slightly between the provinces from 2007 to 2018. In the 0-4 age group shows high spatial pattern along the southeastern and eastern provinces. High spatial pattern is observed in 5-9 groups of central and northeast provinces. 0-4 and 5-9 age groups of these two regions are almost displaced by spatial pattern. The variety between the provinces is lower in the 10-14 age group. All of these findings shows that, in spatial terms, the young population in Turkey reveals a rapid change especially to 0-4 and 5-9 age groups. Population changes are often the subject of long-term analysis. This study shows that the population structure of countries can transform in the short term. In fact, the change in time and space dimensions of Turkey's youth population structure has been realized in a short time. This finding could lead policymakers on shorter term demographic solutions.

Published: September 2020

Several studies show the increase of radical attitudes among high school students in several regions in Indonesia. Developing a reliable instrument to measure religious moderation attitude is needed as a preventive effort to tackle this trend. However, a standard scale to measure the attitude in the context of Indonesia is extremely rare. This study aims to develop a Thusrtone scale of religious moderation attitude with the Equal Appearing Interval (EAI) method. There were 77 initial items constructed. Forty-two panelists from various relevant backgrounds were involved to assess the initial items. A number of 43 items was selected using the values of median (>6) and interquartile (≤4). The validity of the scale was tested using biserial correlation resulting 42 valid items and 1 invalid item. The result of reliability test using KR 20 technique showed that the scale is strongly reliable with a coefficient value of 0.98. The distribution of scale values on the 42 items of the selected statement lies on a scale value ranging from 1-11. Thus, the scale of religious moderation attitude has fulfilled the psychometric criteria as a measurement scale and can be used to measure students' religious moderation attitudes.Keywords: Thurstone scale, equal-appearing interval method, religious moderation. Abstrak: Beberapa hasil studi menunjukkan tingginya sikap radikal pada siswa Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) di beberapa daerah di Indonesia. Mempertimbangkan fenomena ini, diperlukan upaya preventif untuk mengatasi sikap radikal siswa. Salah satu upaya tersebut adalah dengan mengembangkan instrumen yang reliabel untuk mengukur sikap moderasi beragama. Pertimbangan mengembangkan skala ini dikarenakan belum tersedianya skala baku untuk mengukur sikap moderasi beragama siswa. Jenis skala yang dikembangkan adalah skala Thusrtone metode Equal Appearing Interval (EAI) Jumlah aitem awal pada skala ini disiapkan sebanyak 77 aitem. Panelis yang dilibatkan unuk menilai aitem awal sebanyak 42 orang. Analisis pemilihan aitem menggunakan nilai median dan interkuartil menghasilkan 43 aitem terpilih dengan nilai median >6 dan interkuartil ≤4. Pengujian validitas skala dengan  korelasi biserial menghasilkan 42 aitem valid dan 1 aitem tidak valid. Sedangkan uji reliabilitas menggunakan teknik KR 20 menghasilkan nilai koefesien 0.98 yang berarti sangat reliable. Distribusi nilai 42 aitem terpilih terentang dari 1-11. Skala sikap moderasi beragama ini terbukti memenuhi kriteria psikometrik sebagai skala pengukuran dan dapat digunakan untuk mengukur sikap moderasi beragama siswa.
Nietzsche, da história dos sentimentos morais à genealogia da moral
Authors: Oliveira Jelson Roberto de
Published: September 2020

Objetiva-se, nesse artigo, analisar a articulação entre a filosofia histórica praticada por Nietzsche a partir de 1876 e a genealogia da moral. Para isso, almeja-se destacar como o filósofo passa da tarefa de analisar a história dos sentimentos morais, própria de Humano, demasiado humano, para aquela que leva a colocar o valor dos valores (ou seja, a própria moral) em xeque, em Para a genealogia da moral. Trata-se, afinal, de analisar a importância da relação entre vida e obra em vista de identificar os seus resultados: uma valorização das experiências individuais e a afirmação da inocência.

Traceability not only meets the social needs of product information transparency and reinforces the trust of consumers, but also meets the needs of enterprises for brand protection and enhances the competition in markets. Since a traceability system collects every necessary information at every stage in a supply chain, it is also an efficient tool for monitoring and optimizing the production procedure. Adopting information technology to digitalize the business process is an inevitable trend to improve the efficiency in information management and especially quickly detect fraud problems. However, with the digitized process via a computer software system, the challenge remains as to whether digitized data is real. The reality shows that changing digital data is easier than paper-based data. Thus, it is necessary to have a digitalized process and a secure mechanism for ensuring transparency, correctness, and consistency of data leading to more efficiency in incidents detection and trace problems tracing. An emerging technology, Blockchain, has attracted more attention after its great success in finance due to various dominant features in preventing data changes even from the internal system. Technically, Blockchain is a ledger that records the entire transaction history publicly on a network of peer-to-peer computers of the time. One common ledger will be shared among all collaborative organizations in an ecosystem to ensure data immutability and undeniable responsibility, thereby enhancing data transparency. Therefore, applying Blockchain technology in agriculture will improve the current traceability process, aiming to increase the responsibility of the objects in the process and transparency of information for consumers. In this paper, we propose a framework that utilizes Blockchain to robustize traceability systems. Additionally, our proposed framework is compliant with the GS1 standard to achieve high reliability and compatibility on a global scale.

Authors: Aybey Aynur
Published: September 2020

The ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of Phlomis pungens var. pungens, P. nissolii, P. armeniaca and Stachys byzantina, S. cretica L. subsp. mersiaea and S. cretica L. subsp. Smyrnaea were evaluated for their antibacterial and antibiofilm activities. Five bacterial species were used are Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella sonnei, Salmonella typhimurium and Yersinia enterocolitica. The ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of plant species showed good antibacterial activity against all bacterial strains. More significantly, ethylacetate and methanol extracts of all Phlomis species were found to be more effective on degredation of mature biofilm against all used bacterial strains than extracts of Stachys species. The findings of the present study highlight the promising role of Phlomis and Stachys extracts as new lead structures in the search for novel antibacterial and antibiofilm agents.
Canopy structure and its relationship with yield and synchrony in pod maturity of mungbean (Vigna rediata L.)
Authors: Mondal MMA
Published: September 2020

Field experiments were conducted under sub-tropical condition during March-May of two consecutive years of 2013 and 2014 to assess the effect of different levels of debranching and spacing on synchronous pod ripening and yield of mungbean. The debranching levels were: (i) Category 1 [main stem (MS) with 4 branches per plant, control], (ii) category 2 (MS with three branches per plant), (iii) category 3 (MS with two branches per plant), (iv) category 4 (MS with one branch per plant) and (v) category 5 (only MS). Under recommended plant spacing (30 cm × 10 cm), plants having MS with 3 branches produced the highest seed yield due to increased number of seeds per pod over category 1. The lowest seed yield was recorded in category 5 (only MS plant) due to fewer number of pods per plant. When the optimum plant population per unit area according to canopy area was considered, it was estimated that the highest plants/m2 was accommodated in MS only of 50 plants/m2 showing the highest seed yield (2570 kg/ha) followed by MS with one branch (40 plants/m2, 2460 kg/ha) and these two treatments also showed synchronous pod maturity. The lowest plant population per unit area was accommodated in MS with 3 and 4 branches (25 plants/m2) and also showed lower seed yield (1910 and 1940 kg/ha, respectively) behaving asynchronous pod maturity.
