Demonstrating the Relationship between the Colour and Heavy Element Abundance of Globular Clusters
Authors: Hewitt Guillaume
Published: February 2023

Extragalactic globular clusters are viewed as single points of light, as the density of their stars make them individually indiscernible. The aim of this study was to find a correlation between the integrated colour of globular star clusters and the metallicity of their individual stars. This was accomplished by using the colour magnitudes and metallicities of individual stars from 11 cluster models based on work from Girardi et al. Integrated colour-metallicity diagrams found the relationship between clusters to be an increasing two-step linear function for each of the six colour ratios examined. To validate the findings, the F475W-F814W relationship was applied to integrated colour data of 5557 clusters from the real galaxy NGC 6166. Histograms taken of the colour and metallicity both showed non-gaussian distributions. Bimodal gaussian fits were applied to both and found that each exhibited the presence of subpopulations: one metal-poor (μ = -1.59), and one metal-rich (μ = -0.41). This suggests the occurrence of galactic mergers with NGC 6166 to create the population structure of clusters that is currently seen.

Functionalization of criminal law in the context of law enforcement of criminal acts of corruption, both in terms of material criminal law, formal criminal law (criminal procedural law), as well as criminal implementation, still faces obstacles, especially regarding the asset recovery policy of perpetrators of corruption which has implications for execution of payment of replacement money in order to optimize the return of state financial losses. Through the evaluation stage, it is known at this time that the criminal law has not functioned properly in tackling corruption, such as in the case of executing the payment of replacement money, where the prosecutor as the executor often has difficulty in executing the convict's property to be confiscated and auctioned to cover all or the difference in state financial losses that must be paid by the convict. This is due to the fact that the current national law still has many weaknesses that create difficulties for law enforcers in recovering the assets of perpetrators of corruption, especially in terms of confiscation of assets of perpetrators of corruption, so that the return of state financial losses caused by criminal acts of corruption when this is not optimal.Keywords: Asset Recovery; State Financial Losses AbstrakFungsionalisasi hukum pidana dalam rangka penegakan hukum tindak pidana korupsi, baik ditinjau dari sudut hukum pidana materiil, hukum pidana formil (hukum acara pidana), maupun pelaksanaan pidana, masih menghadapi kendala-kendala, terutama berkenaan kebijakan pemulihan aset pelaku tindak pidana korupsi yang berimplikasi pada pelaksanaan eksekusi pembayaran uang pengganti guna optimalisasi pengembalian kerugian keuangan negara. Melalui tahap evaluasi, diketahui saat ini bahwa hukum pidana belum berfungsi dengan baik dalam menanggulangi tindak pidana korupsi, seperti dalam hal mengeksekusi pembayaran uang pengganti, di mana Jaksa sebagai eksekutor sering kali mengalami kesulitan dalam mengeksekusi harta benda terpidana untuk disita dan dilelang guna menutupi seluruh atau selisih kerugian keuangan negara yang harus dibayarkan oleh terpidana. Hal ini disebabkan, bahwa hukum nasional saat ini masih banyak kelemahan-kelemahan yang menimbulkan kesulitan bagi penegak hukum dalam melakukan pemulihan aset pelaku tindak pidana korupsi, terutama dalam hal perampasan aset pelaku tindak pidana korupsi, sehingga pengembalian kerugian keuangan negara yang diakibatkan tindak pidana korupsi saat ini tidak optimal.Kata Kunci: Pemulihan Aset, Kerugian Keuangan Negara
Model Pentahelix Dalam Pengembangan Kawasan Konservasi Penyu Berbasis Ekowisata di Ampiang Parak Kabupaten Pesisir Selatan

Published: February 2023

Indonesia is rich in biodiversity, one of which is turtles. Turtles in the world are included in Appendix Cites 1. This is because turtles are rare animals whose populations are almost extinct. This extinction is because there are still many people who have not been able to carry out turtle conservation activities and there is still rampant hunting for turtles to be used as food, souvenirs, and for traditional ceremonies. Indonesia is a country visited by 6 of the 7 turtle species in Indonesia, but in 1999-2000 the peak of the largest massacre occurred at Tanjung Benoa Bali. Awareness of turtle conservation and the environment requires the synergy of many stakeholders. Nagari Ampiang Parak is a central area for turtle conservation in West Sumatra, and has succeeded in conducting ecotourism-based turtle conservation. The purpose of this research is to find out the stakeholders involved from the government, private sector, media, academia and society. As well as analyzing the synergy of each stakeholder involved. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through observation, interviews and document review. Informants in this study are groups of each element of the stakeholders. The result of this research is that in the ecotourism-based turtle conservation area in Nagari Ampiang Parak, the pentahelix model is applied, namely the involvement of academia, private sector, government, community and media. These five stakeholders synergize with each other by implementing 4 forms of communication between stakeholders, namely downward communication, upward communication, lateral communication and diagonal communication. As well as coordinating with each other but not optimal enough because 2 of the 9 coordination requirements are only carried out by a few stakeholders, namely initial opportunities and simple organization. And it was found that the element that has the strongest role in the management of this turtle conservation area is the Ampiang Parak LPPL(Laskar Pemuda Peduli Lingkungan) community because it was initiated directly by the community and they are the direct managers of the area.

This study aims to analyze the settlement of cases of children in conflict with the law through a diversion approach at the investigation stage in order to realize restorative justice. . Diversion efforts at the investigation stage need to be carried out if cases of children in conflict with the law meet the requirements for diversion. Diversion means the granting of authority to law enforcement officials to take policy actions in dealing with or resolving the problem of child violations by not taking formal steps, including stopping or not continuing from the criminal justice process or returning it to the community. Or in other words, diversion is the transfer of a child's case from the criminal justice process to a process outside of criminal justice. This effort is carried out, especially in the investigation stage, which needs to be carried out in order to provide protection for children in conflict with the law, especially if the crime committed meets the diversion requirements. However, in reality in the field there are still many law enforcers, especially the police, who do not use this authority, this is due to various factors such as a lack of understanding from law enforcement officials regarding the treatment and handling of children in conflict with the law at every stage of the legal process. If diversion can be carried out early, it can prevent children in conflict with the law from having to go through all the long legal processes that can ultimately affect the child's psychological development. Diversion efforts are also in the context of realizing restorative justice which emphasizes recovery back to its original state rather than retaliation. The research method used is a juridical-normative approach with a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study conclude that firstly, for the best interests of the child, both as the perpetrator and the victim, it is necessary to make diversion efforts at the investigation stage if it meets the requirements to protect children. Second, the concept of diversion at the investigation stage experienced problems or was not carried out due to several factors such as the lack of understanding of law enforcement officials and the absence of agreement in the diversion deliberation.

Legal certainty is the foundation of a rule of law to clarify legal laws. Despite public debate about Omnibus laws, the Indonesian House of Representatives plenary session adopted the Draft Law on Job Creation in less than a year. The analysis uses descriptive and qualitative methodologies. Descriptive writing analyzes facts by precisely detailing events related to this legislation. This thesis examines the consequences and execution of the Constitutional Court Judgment Number 91/PUU-XVIII/2020 on the Process of Establishing Legislation in Indonesia, so it applies legal theory and concepts to the Court's decision. Constitution. Dogmatic or doctrinal research follows normative legal research. The Court decided that the Job Creation Law violated the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (UUD NRI 1945) and had no legal authority if "no modifications were made within two (two) years after the judgment was announced". Thus, the Job Creation Law applies until the status quo law is changed. If there is no improvement by the deadline, the Job Creation Law will be ruled unconstitutional permanently and all UUCK-altered or repealed laws would be reinstalled.Keywords: Constitutional Court Decision; Legal certainty; Job Creation Act AbstrakTerlepas dari segala Pro dan kontra masyarakat terhadap konsep Omnibus law, tidak butuh waktu lebih dari satu tahun Rancangan Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja disahkan dalam sidang paripurna DPR RI.

Plants as inspiration for material-based sensing and actuation in soft robots and machines

Published: February 2023

Because plants are considered immobile, they remain underrepresented as concept generators for soft robots and soft machines. However, plants show a great variety of movements exclusively based on elastic deformation of regions within their moving organs. The absence of gliding parts, as found in the joints of vertebrates and insects, prevents stress concentration and attrition. Since plants have no central control unit (brain), stimulus-sensing, decision-making and reaction usually take place noncentrally in the hierarchically structured materials systems of the moving organs, in what can be regarded as an example of physical intelligence. These characteristics make plants interesting models for a new group of soft robots and soft machines that differ fundamentally from those inspired by animals. The potential of such plant-inspired soft robots and machines is shown in six examples and is illustrated by examples applied in architecture and medicine.

Fundamentalismo e Ensino religioso: por uma espiritualidade do encontro.
Authors: Lopes Antonio de Lisboa Lustosa , Xavier Magno Carvalho
Published: February 2023

Neste texto, propomos uma reflexão acerca do fenômeno do fundamentalismo religioso contemporâneo e a necessidade de um Ensino Religioso plural e aberto, como é sugerido pela BNCC. Para isso, nosso trabalho terá três momentos: primeiro, analisaremos a origem do termo “fundamentalista” na modernidade e seus desdobramentos; em seguida, discorreremos sobre a proposta de Ensino Religioso contida na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC); e, por fim, apresentaremos a espiritualidade do encontro, isto é, o modo de vida pautado pelo diálogo e a abertura ao outro, como caminho de construção de uma sociedade mais fraterna. Em tempos de intolerância e fundamentalismo religioso, infelizmente tão comuns em nosso país e que se converte em vários tipos de violência dentro e fora da escola, o Ensino Religioso deve estar comprometido com uma espiritualidade do encontro, que aproxime as pessoas, independentemente dos seus credos e modos de vida.
Efficient, Neutral, Hyperbolic: Building the European Central Bank
Authors: Fabbrini Sebastiano
Published: February 2023

The building of the European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt am Main is the result of a complex process that intersects and amplifies a set of issues concerning the relation between architecture and power at the turn of the millennium. From the initial competition, launched in 2002, to the inauguration of the tower designed by Coop Himmelb(l)au, this case highlights the reluctance, on the part of the institution, to use architecture to project power and showcase its mission. This hesitancy relates to the ECB's particular status as a supranational institution, operating between multiple national identities. While assuming an increasingly political role, the bank tried to present itself as a neutral, technical body, responding to a model of depoliticized governance. All that matters is what the institution does, not what it is. On a parallel level, this functionalist outlook aligned with a contemporaneous shift in architectural practice and thought. The traditional concern with representation was challenged by an evolving notion of materialism, which set aside questions of meaning in favor of questions of performance. All that matters is what buildings do. From this perspective, the performance of the technical infrastructure is believed to be the primary source of meaning, for both the institution and the architecture that housed it. The unfolding of the ECB project, however, revealed the limitations of such approaches. Given the importance of the bank within the governance of the European Union during a time of economic crisis, the building site became the stage for multiple symbolic rituals and forced a difficult reflection on the image of the European community. Despite the efforts to blend in and neutralize architecture, as in the case of the euro banknotes, the building process pushed the ECB to start addressing its unique political dimension, beyond reductive notions of technical efficiency.
Dor aguda pós-operatória em mulheres submetidas a cirurgia ginecológica
Authors: Rodrigues Ana Isabel , Antão Celeste
Published: February 2023

Introdução: A dor aguda pós-operatória é um problema previsível, cuja prevenção e controlo adequado podem evitar sofrimento desnecessário, economizar recursos em cuidados de saúde e melhorar a qualidade de vida das doentes após cirurgia ginecológica. O enfermeiro é um elemento de referência na abordagem da dor, devendo saber valorizar as diferentes dimensões que constituem este fenómeno. Objetivos: Identificar características da dor aguda pós-operatória (intensidade, severidade, interferência funcional da dor) em doentes submetidas a cirurgia ginecológica e analisar a relação entre variáveis psicológicas e a dor aguda pós-operatória em mulheres submetidas a cirurgia ginecológica. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, correlacional e transversal. Estudou-se uma amostra com 76 mulheres internadas no Serviço de Ginecologia e um hospital do norte de Portugal. Utilizou-se o questionário aplicado em 2 momentos: Momento I - avaliação pré-operatória realizada após admissão das doentes no internamento; Momento II - no segundo dia de pós-operatório, 48 horas após a cirurgia. Além de variáveis sociodemográficas o questionário integrou três instrumentos traduzidos e validados para a população portuguesa, possuindo boas propriedades psicométricas - Inventário Resumido da Dor (BPI), Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão (HADS) e Escala de Desânimo Associada à Dor (PCS). Resultados: As mulheres tinham maioritariamente idades entre 48 e 57 anos, casadas. No período pós-operatório, a presença de dor foi referida por 83,9% das mulheres; a ansiedade pós-operatória apresentava um valor médio de 8,32 (DP=3,55), indicando níveis de ansiedade leves. Observou-se que as mulheres apresentavam, em termos médios, dor pós-operatória moderada (3,83±2,34). Nenhuma das variáveis psicológicas estudadas demonstrou influenciar a intensidade da DAPO (p>0.05). No mesmo sentido, a severidade da dor não se mostrou influenciada pelo nível de ansiedade ou de depressão. Já a catastrofização determinou diferenças significativas(p=0,040). Conclusão: Dor aguda no período pós-operatório em cirurgia ginecológica é um aspeto que deve preocupar os profissionais de saúde, pois o controlo da dor é um direito das doentes, por motivos relacionados com a qualidade dos serviços e cuidados de saúde, e também por motivos económicos, pois a dor no período pós-operatório está associada a uma recuperação mais lenta, mais complicações pós-operatórias e internamentos mais longos.
(Des) igualdades de género: um mergulho proverbial
Authors: Antão Celeste , Anastácio Zélia
Published: February 2023

Apesar da evolução nos direitos e lugar das mulheres na sociedade atual, não se encontram ainda exemplos de expressões na linguagem popular que contrariem a recolha de provérbios. A linguagem é um veículo fundamental na transmissão de ideias e valores da sociedade. Neste trabalho pretende-se analisar as questões de (des)igualdade de género perpetuadas na linguagem proverbial. A partir da recolha de provérbios referentes aos papéis de homens e mulheres, veremos os que reafirmam regras de convivência social, os que conferem papel de soberania ao homem ou à mulher e os que colocam ambos em posição de igualdade. Foi feita uma análise categórica para verificar os papéis privilegiados. A importância atribuída às mulheres na educação e na preservação de valores culturais associados ao cuidado dos filhos e da família em geral é inquestionável, mas mais circunscrita ao lar. O homem, embora também considerado responsável pela educação dos filhos e transmissão de sabedoria, situa-se noutro contexto - o espaço público – razão do provérbio “homem na praça, mulher em casa”. Porém, a valentia do homem é por vezes reforçada pela capacidade de atuação da mulher, como encerra o provérbio “por trás de um grande homem está sempre uma grande mulher”. Importa fomentar a desconstrução dos marcadores de identidade de género assentes na cultura patriarcal, promovendo a consciencialização das desvantagens de reproduzir atitudes e comportamentos estereotipados. Conclui-se que crenças culturais enraizadas, acerca dos papéis de género, dão azo a estereótipos encerrando visões redutoras, subjacentes a processos de justificação e desculpabilização dos comportamentos de dominação masculina.
Políticas de evaluación a gran escala y la inclusión de los colectivos vulnerabilizados
Authors: Lopes Reis Márcia , Gonçalves da Silva Hilda Maria
Published: February 2023

El presente trabajo intenta analizar cómo se observan las paradojas hacia las prácticas de gestión de los cursos de grado en Brasil tras las políticas de inclusión y/o cupos para los colectivos vulnerables en las universidades brasileñas en el contexto de las políticas a gran escala. En Brasil, el ENADE (Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes) representa un relevante proceso de evaluación a gran escala de los cursos de grado. El ENADE forma parte de um sistema más abarcante que conlleva otros tres componentes principales: la evaluación de las instituciones, de los cursos de grado y del desempeño de los estudiantes. Asi que el SINAES (Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Superior) evalua las universidades en sus funciones de docencia, investigación i extensión y ha sido creado el 2004 por la Ley n. 10861. Desde entonces, han cambiado algunas políticas de acceso a la universidad para garantizar que los colectivos que han sido vulnerabilizados a lo largo de la historia puedan formar parte de ese locus de construcción y difusión del conocimiento científico. La interrogante que se propone: ¿Qué estudios se hacen bajo el tema de las prácticas de gestión que han sido cambiadas por los resultados de las evaluaciones a gran escala tras las políticas afirmativas? Los análisis bibliográficos representan la metodologia que se va utilizar. Los primeros análisis evidencian las escasas reflexiones publicadas bajo el tema i evidencian la fragilidad de los sistemas de evaluación a gran escala para cumplir su rol: mensurar la calidad de la educación superior.

The major threats to the Endangered Barbary macaque Macaca sylvanus in North Africa
Authors: El Alami Abderrazak , Van Lavieren Els , Chait Abderrahman
Published: February 2023

The Barbary macaque is currently the only macaque species that occurs beyond Asia. It has been classified as an endangered species on the IUCN’s Red List and is listed in CITES Appendix I. This species is actually restricted to small and fragmented habitats in the Moroccan Rif, Middle and High Atlas, and in the Algerian areas of Chiffa, Grande Kabylie and the Petite Kabylie. A very large number of studies indicated that this primate is in decline and its population is estimated to have declined at a rate exceeding 50% over the last three generations. This article aims to review the major threats and challenges to the Barbary macaque conservation in North Africa. Data were gathered from research articles, scientific books, communications, thesis and PhD dissertations of the authors and of other researchers. Results showed that the major threats to the survival of Barbary macaques are habitat loss and degradation, population fragmentation, capture and trade of macaques, effects of human activities on Barbary macaques’ behavior and ecology, conflict with inhabitants due to crop raiding, the decrease in water availability to macaques, and infectious disease risks. Based on this review, we recommend several measures to reduce the likelihood of the Barbary macaque becoming extinct in many regions of North Africa.
Spelling dictionaries of the Yakut language: Formation and current state
Authors:   Institute for Humanities Research and Indigenous Studies of the North, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vasilyeva Nadezhda M.
Published: February 2023

The spelling rules of the Yakut language cannot cover all complex cases of word spelling; therefore, their spelling is reflected in the normative spelling dictionaries of the Yakut language. The study analyzes the codified spelling dictionaries of the Yakut language. The relevance of the work is due to the contradiction between the increased attention to the situation with spelling in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the lack of a scientifically based analysis of existing editions of Yakut spelling dictionaries. The aim of this article is to study the formation and development of spelling dictionaries of the Yakut language. Based on the aim, the following objectives are supposed to be reached: coverage of the history of orthographic lexicography of the Yakut language; determination of the development trend of spelling dictionaries in the 21st century. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time the spelling dictionaries of the Yakut language are studied from the standpoint of the theory and practice of compiling dictionaries, the principles of practical lexicography in the creation of Yakut spelling dictionaries are substantiated. The problem of the development and compilation of Yakut spelling dictionaries is considered. The results of the analysis and a brief description of the dictionaries are presented. The main differences between the dictionaries are investigated, the specific features of the reflection of words borrowed from Russian in Yakut spelling dictionaries of different years are highlighted in more detail. For modern Yakut spelling, the problem of spelling words borrowed from Russian has not yet been sufficiently reliably resolved. These difficulties are mainly due to the nature of the development of borrowed words in the language itself, their correlation and place in the vocabulary of the Yakut language. In the course of the study, glossaries of eight spelling dictionaries published in different years of the development of the Yakut literary language were studied. Particular attention is paid to the dictionary by P.A. Oyunsky as the first term-spelling dictionary. The features of the 2015 edition, whose purpose was to unify spelling norms and approve a single spelling regime to create optimal conditions for the functioning of the Yakut language as the state language in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), are characterized. The spelling dictionary of the Yakut language reflects a new trend in the spelling of words borrowed from Russian and somewhat increases the number of normative phonetized words. The spelling dictionaries of the Yakut language of the new period meet the requirements of the linguistic, cultural and social situation. The author declares no conflicts of interests.
Design of a terminological learner’s dictionary in the customs sphere: A corpus approach
Authors:   University of Tyumen, Devyatkova Olga I. , Kantysheva Nadezhda G. ,   University of Tyumen
Published: February 2023

The article discusses the principles of designing of a multilingual educational terminological dictionary in the customs sphere for the Russian-Belarusian-Kazakh-Kirghiz-Armenian language pairs. The dictionary is planned in electronic format and is intended for the University of Tyumen’s students majoring in Customs. A review of the existing dictionaries of the customs subject area is made. The prerequisites for compiling such a dictionary are analyzed: both in the professional customs domain and from a linguistic point of view. The thematic criteria for determining the boundaries of the discourse of the named subject area are described, the principles of modeling the elements of discourse are listed. The corpus-based study (AntConc, SketchEngine) describes the qualitative and quantitative principles of determining the coverage of discourse, algorithms for the formation of the general population and the sample size, the selection of relevant terminological units for the dictionary. Lexicographic work involves the consideration of different types of sources: (a) official documents (standards, program documents of the EAEU, regulatory legal acts, agreements on international treaties, protocols of meetings of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council); (b) official websites of the customs services of Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan; (c) scientific/educational texts (summary monographs, articles in relevant specialized journals, new research in the field of customs studies); (d) dictionaries and encyclopedias. Each term has been selected on the basis of importance and usage within an area of the customs sphere. This dictionary will include various types of information: multilingual equivalents of terms, references to synonyms, antonyms, hypohyperonyms, and abbreviations. An ideographic dictionary - built using the corpus approach - will allow (a) analysing and structuring key concepts and trends in a simplified form using equivalents, pointers and links that reflect the subject area of the customs sphere; (b) collecting the minimum number of terminological units of real usage that are most effective in professional communication. (c) solving the problems posed by the different lexicalization of the same concepts in different languages. Quantitative and systemic criteria were used for this purpose. The learner’s dictionary can help students to understand and translate terminological texts, perform more effectively in a multilingual workplace, and advance knowledge in professional communication. The results can be applied not only to terminology representation, but also to terminography, documentation and translation. The authors declare no conflicts of interests.

Stereologic Cell Population Estimates in Cleared Human Brain Tissue v1
Authors: Wicinski Bridget
Published: February 2023

We provide a step-by-step protocol for stereologic assessment in the human cerebral cortex using cleared postmortem specimens with a laminar level of analysis for distinct neuronal populations identified by immunolabeling for specific cytoplasmic markers. Stereologic tools provide a set of simple rules and formulas to estimate numerical quantities of various morphologic parameters in tissue, with precision, accuracy and a design free of observer-induced bias. Parameters such a number, density, volume, surface area, or length can be easily estimated based on the systematic sampling of a region of interest (e.g., a layer of a cytoarchitecturally defined region of cortex, defined as a “volume of reference”), with an observer-independent random design, that gives each object under study (e.g., a neuronal population identified by a specific protein marker) the same probability to be sampled once and only once in its volume of reference, based on strict sampling criteria that are kept constant for a given object throughout the analysis. Stereologic analysis was performed on cleared slice from large specimens encompassing Broca’s area (Brodmann’s area 44/45), up to 4x4x2 cm, imaged at 3x3x3 µm pixel dimensions, and immunostained for NeuN, calretinin, and somatostatin, using the MBF Bioscience Stereo Investigator Cleared Tissue software (version 2022.1.1) with an Optical Fractionator design. Data were recorded as estimates of total number of neurons as well as neuronal densities in each layer. The protocol provides the detail of the sampling parameters including counting frame size, grid size, and disector height, definition and contouring of cortical layers and use of their boundaries to estimate laminar surface areas and volume. Full details on software operation and sampling design are explained.
High-throughput DNA barcoding library construction and sequencing protocol for BIOSCAN using unpurified non-destructively extracted DNA from arthropods v1
Authors: Park Naomi , Dawson Emma , Thurston Scott , Tuameh Abdulrahman , M Mosca Marco , Pereira da Conceicoa Lyndall , Lawniczak Mara
Published: February 2023

This SOP describes the procedure for high-throughput generation of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA barcode amplicons using very small quantities of crude DNA extracted non-destructively (i.e., without grinding or disruption to the organism) from arthropods LysisCextractionSOPV1.pdf - Google Drive. The use of an inhibitor-tolerant polymerase enables amplification of crude lysate without purification, which can add significant cost. The first PCR amplifies the target of choice using untailed primers. Here, we target the Cytochrome Oxidase I mitochondrial locus, but in principle, the locus could be any amplicon. In a second PCR step, long read compatible 16- mer combinatorial dual indexed amplicons are then made directly from the first PCR product. Although full length indexed amplicons can be made in a single PCR step, by incorporating the use of non-tailed COI primers first, the sensitivity to low template inputs is markedly improved. Insects alone can range across three orders of magnitude in size and can be as small as 0.2 mm, so increasing sensitivity to low quantity inputs without oversequencing individuals with much greater DNA quantities is desirable. After the two step PCR is complete, as many as 9216 PCRs are then equivolume pooled and quantitated, prior to long-read library construction. This single library is then sequenced on a single Pacbio 8M SMRT Cell. This SOP is entitled BIOSCAN as it supports the current global endeavour of the International Barcode of Life (https://ibol.org/programs/bioscan/) to massively increase species discovery using barcoding. Additionally, this SOP is being used for the Sanger BIOSCAN project to study 1M insects across the UK (https://www.sanger.ac.uk/collaboration/bioscan/). This 2-step indexing PCR approach is an adaptation of the COVID-19 ARTIC Illumina library construction - tailed method, which can be found here: COVID-19 ARTIC v4.1 Illumina library construction and sequencing protocol - tailed method (protocols.io)
Heinrich Heine in Albanian Literature

Published: February 2023

Those who wrote about and introduced Heinrich Heine into Albanian literature and culture are the following distinguished Albanian intellectuals, researches and scholars: Javer Malo, Nexhip Gami, Vehbi Bala, Perikli Jorgoni, Pertef Kruja, Robert Shvarc, Petraq Kolevica, etc. However, no all-embracing articles or papers in English or German were written about Heinrich Heine’s presence, popularity and influence on Albanian literature. Therefore, through qualitative and comparative literature methods this article attempts to illuminate the presence, popularity and impact of Heine’s poetry on the poems of some of the most popular Albanian writers and poets, such as: Çajupi, Konica, Noli and Poradeci by focusing on the main similarities and differences of Heine’s poems with those of the aforementioned Albanian poets. The paper demonstrates and proves that it is beyond doubt that the poems of the aforesaid Albanian poets share strange and interesting similarities and a kind of concordance with the topics, motifs, messages and style of Heine’s poems and that he influenced those poets in different ways and to various degrees. The themes and motifs of politics, patriotism, social injustice, longing for motherland, freedom, brotherhood, nature, enthusiasm, love, hate, pain, sadness, disbelief, tradition, anticipation of future, dreams, etc. best connect the poems of Albanian poets to Heine’s.

Published: February 2023

The purposes of this study were to 1) study the effects of TCRS innovation on English instruction of high secondary school learners on English communication; 2) enhance the ability of English speaking for communication of high secondary school learners; and 3) create a model of teaching English communication through reading, role-playing, and storytelling (TCRS) focusing on English communication. The population in this study consisted of 70 high secondary school learners who took the English course during the second semester of the academic year 2018. Purposive sampling was used to select 35 high secondary school students who took the English course during the 2018 academic year. This was an experimental research design for eight weeks. The research instruments were (1) the questionnaire related to students’ problems with English instruction, (2) classroom observation, (3) semi-structured interview, and (4) English speaking ability test (pretest and posttest). A comparison of mean scores from both the pretest and posttest of English- speaking ability was analyzed by using mean (x), standard deviation (S.D.), and t-test for the dependent. The results of the study showed that (1) the ability of English speaking for communication of learners who had studied English through the TCRS was significantly higher than before the experiment; (2) the posttest scores of learners’ speaking ability were significantly higher than the criterion of 60%; and (3) a model of teaching English communication through reading, role-playing, and storytelling (TCRS) to develop the ability of English speaking for communication of learners was created.
Readiness for Computer-Based English Tests Among College Students in Regional Thailand
Authors: Chaisuriya Arnon
Published: February 2023

This survey research was conducted to assess Thai regional college students' readiness for taking high-stakes computer-based English tests, which are offered more widely and regularly in the country. The data were collected from 572 university students in five regions. The questionnaire solicited their opinion regarding readiness in terms of computer skills and English language skills. The computer skills included online registration, using a mouse, typing in English, and operating audio equipment. The English skills consisted of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. It was found that although students were less confident in typing, they possessed high computer skills and could operate the testing equipment with ease. However, their readiness in English language skills was only moderate.  Consequently, more intensive English language teaching must be organized for students in regional colleges and universities so that they are ready for computer-based English tests.
A Cognitive Analysis of White Colour Metaphorization in Algerian Arabic
Authors: Kebbout Houda , Badarneh Muhammad A.
Published: February 2023

This study explores the use of white verbal colour metaphors in the Algerian context. It seeks to unravel how the use of conceptual metaphors symbolises white colour. Data informants were eight native speakers of the dialect under scrutiny, and the corpus of the study consisted of 14 verbal metaphors. The researcher adopted Lakoff and Johnsons’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory (1980) and Charteris Black’s Critical Metaphor Analysis (2004) to analyse data. The findings revealed that a very high proportion of the examples are mapped onto positive domains in the Algerian culture, such as spiritual purity. Negative connotations of white in Algeria included drugs, anger, and poison. Some findings of this study assimilated previously obtained conclusions in the field. The researchers linked this to shared factors such as culture, language, economy, and history. About differences, they emanate from the Algerian community's various cultural, historical, and social backgrounds, including the long colonial history of both France and Turkey in Algeria. However, the differences in conceptualising concepts in the east and west of Algeria can be traced back to the vast distance that separates the two (over 1.800 km).

This study analyzes Qays ibn Al-Khateem’s poem “anna sarabti” to show the complexities of dream and its impact on the artistic structures and literary aesthetics of the poem. The study adopted the literary psychoanalytic approach as a theoretical framework. The analysis of the study revealed that the poet was hunted by his dreams that served as an outlet allowing him to evade his bitter life. Also, it showed that the poet succeeded in employing dream in his poem as an appropriate medium through which he was able to achieve his daydreams, desires and endeavor for the redemption of the reality of his bitter life.
Are Colonial Systems in Canada and Australia Similar? A Study on Kenneth T. Willams’ In Care and Dallas Winmar’s Aliwa!
Authors: Nisha S. , Patchainayagi S.
Published: February 2023

So different, yet so alike, Canada and Australia, the land of wilderness and the land of bushes respectively, are two nations that go back thousands of years with their culture, practices, traditions, and the natives’ deep and sacred relationship with the land. The arrival of the Europeans disrupted the peace and the pattern of their lives, resulting in loss of indigenous lands, languages, cultures, and misplaced identity. Kenneth T. Williams, in his play In Care, draws attention to the flaws and loopholes in the system that trap natives like spider-webs. The second play taken up for study is Aliwa! by Dallas Winmar, an Australian play that recounts the journey of a mother, who strives hard to escape the clutches of the system trying to break her and her children up. While much research has been done on the sufferings and trauma of the native people, what really transpires on the other side is mostly kept in the dark. This paper examines how the colonial systems in Canada and Australia mirror each other in multiple aspects. It also draws attention to the systems established in colonial Canada and Australia, which aimed at obliterating any and all vestiges of Aboriginality, under the pretext of ‘civilizing’ the uncivilized. The paper utilises a play from each nation to validate the central objective of the paper, with a particular emphasis on the act of taking Aboriginal children away from their parents, a strategy used by the colonizers in both nations.
The Reflection of Connotative Meanings of Insan in the Qur’an: A Translational and Semantic Perspective
Authors: Ababneh Mohammad D. , Al-Azzam Bakri H. , Al-Amar Abdullah M.
Published: February 2023

This study aims to investigate the translation of connotative meanings of insan in the Qur’an, from Arabic into English and Spanish. Connotative meanings pertained to insan in this religious text are negative and hold unfavorable implications such as denial, stinginess, weakness, and hastiness when talking about his behaviors. For ordinary readers, these negative connotations pass unnoticed in the source language and the target language. In Arabic, the link between insan and negativity is linguistically under-researched in Qur’anic and non-Qur’anic discourses; this study is conducted and is hoped to translationally fill a linguistic gap, with particular reference to Qur’anic examples. Because of the shortage of studies that refer to this particular link between insan and negativity, and because this connotative dimension has not been explored satisfactorily in Qur’anic and non-Qur’anic studies, representative Qur’anic verses are sampled, analyzed and discussed so as to uncover the difficulty of rendering the negativity, associated with insan and to suggest translation solutions. Four authentic and authoritative Qur’anic exegeses are selected to support the argument, and two translations (English translation and Spanish translation) of the Qur’an are selected to practically prove the failure of reflecting the negative link between insan and negativity in the selected samples.

Published: February 2023

The purpose of this paper is to solve the problem of low conveying
efficiency and serious blade wear during vertical screw conveying of
cohesive particles. Firstly, the reliability of DEM simulation was verified
by comparing the simulated and theoretical values and the influence
regularity of different design parameters (rotational speed, pitch, and
clearance) on screw conveying characteristics were analyzed based on
DEM. In addition, the effect of design parameters on the screw
conveying characteristics is identified by ANOVA. Then, the multiobjective optimization model with the both of maximizing the average
mass flow rate and minimizing the maximum wear depth of the blade
was established using the polynomial fitting regression, which was
solved by the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II).
Finally, the comprehensive evaluation was used to determine the best
design parameters. The above research results provide a certain
reference for the study of cohesive particle’s vertical screw conveying
characteristics and equipment optimization design.

Published: February 2023

In order to realize the evaluation of the vehicle transmission system
health degree, a prediction model by multi-level data fusion method is
established in this paper. The prediction model applies PSO(Particle
Swarm Optimization)-BP(Back Propagation) neural network algorithm,
calculates the whole machine health degree and each module respective
weights from the test data. On this basis, it analyzes the error between
the model calculated health degree and theoretical health degree. Then
the research verifies the validity and prediction model accuracy. The
health degree which is obtained by the single module feature parameters
fusion, and the vehicle transmission system health degree is investigated,
which is less effective compared to the three-level fusions. After that, by
analyzing the vehicle transmission system multi-parameter feature
weights, it is found that the mechanical module accounted for the largest
damage rate, and the three modules influenced the vehicle transmission
system health degree in the order of mechanical module, hydraulic
module, and electric control module. The study has played a guiding role
in the health management of complex equipment.
