Sustainability and Competitiveness in Thai Rubber Industries
Authors: TANIELIAN ADAM
Published: July 2018

This article assesses the economic, legal and environmental conditions that Thai rubber farmers face and evaluates actions they can take to increase incomes.Statistical analyses determine relationships between prices of oil, natural and synthetic rubber. Pearson correlation tests found a strong positive relationship (r = 0.887) between the price of Brent crude and Thai ribbed smoked sheets, and a moderate positive relationship between price changes in Brent and synthetic rubber (r = 0.648). Regression analysis showed Brent oil price is a good predictor of natural rubber price. Moderate to strong positive relationships were also found between natural rubber price and the gross domestic products of Japan, China and the United States. Criminal antitrust behaviour in the rubber industries appeared to interfere with normal pricing in rubber markets. No significant bivariate correlation was found between rainfall in Thailand and natural rubber price, production or export, although fl ooding and other environmental issues clearly affected rubber farms. A survey of options showed that Thai rubber farmers can best improve their livelihoods through the collective purchase and use of new technologies and by integrating into downstream supplychain industries. At the very least, farmers are urged to abandon monocrop methods and supplement their incomes with fruit, fi sh, livestock or pigs.

Published: July 2018

En este estudio se determinan los elementos de la cultura innovativa que son implementados por los comerciantes de prendas de vestir, ubicados en el municipio Maicao en Colombia. Estos comerciantes han reportado una abrupta disminución en sus ventas que ha venido impactando la economía regional, nacional e internacional, dada su posición geográfica en la zona fronteriza con Venezuela. Tal determinación se basó en la evaluación de cinco elementos clave derivados de esta cultura, a saber, incentivar la generación de nuevas ideas, motivación de los empleados, trasmisión de conocimientos y experiencias, introducción de nuevas tecnologías, e invertir, arriesgar y experimentar. Dicha evaluación se llevó a cabo mediante una encuesta diseñada y aplicada a una muestra de sesenta y tres (63) comerciantes de la zona. Los resultados arrojados permitieron detectar que un 39,6% de la muestra casi nunca introduce  nuevas tecnologías y un 30% nunca desarrolla las actividades que involucran invertir, arriesgarse y experimentar, ambos elementos se ubicaron en un nivel bajo y muy bajo, respectivamente dentro del baremo de categorización de los estadísticos de la variable. En consecuencia, se concluye que la falta de implementación de estos elementos, propios de la cultura de innovación y que caracteriza a las organizaciones más competitivas en la actualidad, representa una de las causas que frena la capacidad productiva de estos comerciantes e impide incrementar las ventas en este contexto limítrofe.

Segurança Ambiental em Relações Internacionais: perspectivas teóricas, unidades de análise e principais desafios no estudo sobre recursos hídricos internacionais.
Authors: Brandão Luciana , Filippi Eduardo Ernesto
Published: July 2018

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo principal traçar um panorama das atuais perspectivas teóricas para o estudo das questões ambientais dentro da disciplina de Relações Internacionais, em especial na área dos estudos de segurança. Para isso foi realizada uma revisão da bibliografia produzida acerca da temática de segurança ambiental nos últimos 50 anos, quando o termo passou a compor a agenda de debates políticos e acadêmicos no âmbito da política internacional. Percebemos que as principais teorias de segurança ambiental podem ser sistematizadas em dois grandes grupos: de um lado, teóricos que dialogam com a Tese dos Conflitos Ambientais (do inglês, environment-conflict thesis) e do outro aqueles que estudam as dinâmicas de Segurança Humana e Ecológica. A análise das pesquisas produzidas sobre a questão dos recursos hídricos internacionais demonstrou que tal divisão também se reflete na literatura produzida sobre este assunto específico, limitando as possibilidades de análise do problema. Por fim, propomos alguns elementos que podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de análises de segurança ambiental mais inclusivas, como a adequação do nível de análise, a incorporação de múltiplos agentes e a articulação das diferentes esferas de segurança.
Face Spoof Detection System Based on Genetic Algorithm and Artificial Intelligence Technique: A Review
Authors: Anand Diksha , Gupta Kamal
Published: July 2018

Face recognition is an alternative means to authenticate a person in different applications for access control. Instead of many improvements, this method is prone to various attacks like photos, 3D masks and video replay attack. Due to these attacks, system should require a face spoof detection system. A face spoof detection systems have an ability to identify whether a face is from a real person or a fake image. Face spoofing effect the image by adding deformation in it and also degrades the image pattern quality. Face spoofing detection system automatically identifies the human face is a true face or a fake face. In today's era, face recognition method is widely used to authenticate the face (like for unlocking mobile phones etc.) and providing access to the services or facilities but some intruders use various trick to crack the authentication system by presenting the false face in front of the authentication system, so it become necessity to prevent our face authentication system from face spoofing attack. So the choice of the technique to detect the face spoofing attack should be accurate and highly efficient.
Thomson on Goodness
Authors: Lenman James
Published: July 2018

Judith Jarvis Thomson has written extensively on what is usually (though she does not seem much to care for the word) known as ‘metaethics’. Notably in the Thomson half of Harman and Thomson’s 1996 Moral Knowledge and Moral Objectivity, the 1997 Journal of Philosophy paper “The Right and the Good”, and her Tanner Lectures in Goodness and Advice published in 2003.  Thomson thinks there is no such thing as being good simpliciter. There is only what she sometimes talks of as being good in a way or being good in some respect. A thing can be good at stuff, good at football or baking or whatever. This critical note analyses what is at stake in Thomson's approach.  Keywords: Metaethics, Judith Thomson, Consequentialism, Moral good
Structural and magnetic properties of Co(II) complexes with tridentate ONO pincer-type ligands
Authors: Chrenková Veronika , Valigura Dušan
Published: July 2018

Pincer type ligand 2,6-pyridinedimethanol was used as a useful tool in the preparation of the Co(II) pseudoctahedral complex together with 3,5-dinitrobenzoate counteranion. New complex of the composition [Co(pydm)2](3,5-dnbz)2(pydm = 2,6-pyridinedimethanol, and 3,5-dnbz = 3,5-dinitrobenzoate anion) has been prepared and characterized. Its XRD structure revealed pseudooctahedral {CoN2O4} chromophore around the cobalt atom with Co-N distances significantly shorter (Co-Nav = 2.038 Ǻ) in comparison to the Co-O ones (Co-Oav = 2.142 Ǻ), which was probably the reason of its relatively high zero-field splitting parameter (D/hc = 43.6 cm-1). Positive value of the D parameter causes slow relaxation process typical for Co(II) SMM behavior. The 3,5-dinitrobenzoate counteranions are strongly bonded to the [Co(pydm)2] cation via rather strong hydrogen bonds (O∙∙∙Oav = 2.568 Ǻ) forming “quasi molecular” units. Solid state structure allowed different π-π stacking interactions of neighboring “molecular” unit aromatic rings probally leading to observation of the additional relaxation mode.
Levels of polychlorinated biphenyls in human milk samples in European countries

Published: July 2018

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent pollutants, harmful to human health, which enter the human body mainly through food and bind to body fat. For these reasons their use in most countries is prohibited. Human milk has an advantage over other types of human samples in measuring human exposure to PCBs, as it is obtained with non-invasive sampling methods. In Europe, including Croatia, PCB levels have been monitored for many years. This review summarises PCB trends in human milk across Europe. The trend is generally downward, with higher levels prevailing in urban areas near industrial plants. The highest PCB levels were reported in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The Impact of Remittances on Poverty Alleviation in Selected Emerging Markets
Authors: Tsaurai Kunofiwa
Published: July 2018

The study explored the impact of remittances on poverty in selected emerging markets. On the theoretical front, the optimistic view argued that remittances inflow into the labour exporting country reduces poverty whereas the pessimistic view proponents said that remittances dependence syndrome retards both economic growth and income per capita. Separately, using two measures of poverty [the poverty headcount ratio at US $1.90 and US $3.10 a day (% of population)] as dependent variables, the fixed effects approach produced results which supported the remittances led poverty reduction (optimistic) hypothesis whereas the pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) framework found that remittances inflow into the selected emerging markets led to an increase in poverty levels. The implication of the findings is that emerging markets should put in place policies that attract migrant remittances in order to reduce poverty levels. They should avoid over‑reliance on remittances as that might retard economic growth and income per capita.

Published: July 2018

The aim of the psycholexical study was to classify the terms describing individual differences in the Ukrainian language.

Method. To accomplish this objective, we analysed 220,000 entries included in a universal dictionary of Ukrainian and identified 20,024 terms – adjectives, participles, type-nouns, and attribute-nouns – used to describe human characteristics. The identified person-descriptive terms were classified by a team of five trained judges into 13 categories and subcategories. The judges’ taxonomic decisions were tested for validity and interjudge agreement.

Results. This procedure yielded lists of Ukrainian personality descriptors, consisting, respectively, of 2,426 adjectives, 2,255 participles, 1,653 attribute-nouns, and 1,474 type-nouns. The analysis of semantic redundancy of terms representing different parts of speech but having the same common morpheme among dispositional descriptors identified a total of 1,634 morphemes that differed in terms of meaning. The analysis identified 212 (22.0% of morphemes) type-nouns that could not be replaced by any different part of speech with the same morpheme to describe the same personality trait.

Conclusions. Ukrainian personality lexicon has a comparable or higher diversity of personality-descriptive vocabulary, attested to by the presence of 96% Big Factors markers from international comparative analyses of psycholexical structures of natural languages. The results of the study contribute to the debate on universals in the description of individual differences and constitute the basis for future questionnaire-based studies aimed at identifying the psycholexical structure of the Ukrainian language.
The effect of effort test on the levels of ischemia modified albumin, 7-ketocholesterol and cholestan-3β , 5α , 6β -triol and their role in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease
Authors: Keles Muhammed Emin , Samadi Afshin , Isikhan Selen Yilmaz , Sener Yusuf Ziya , Sezgin Ali , Keles Emine , Lay Incilay , Canpolat Uğur
Published: July 2018

Background

Oxysterols have been shown to play a role in plaque formation while ischemia modified albumin (IMA) is widely accepted as an acute marker for ischemia. The effort test is one of the methods used to identify the presence of coronary artery disease. Thus, there may be a relationship between effort test result and the levels of IMA, 7-ketocholesterol (7-KC) and cholestane-3β,5α,6β-triol (C-triol).

Methods

Thirty patients who underwent effort test and 30 healthy subjects were included in the study. IMA levels were determined with the albumin-cobalt binding test, 7-KC and C-triol levels were determined with LC-MS/MS. Among the patients, two subgroups were identified according to the results of the effort test, group 1 consisted of patients with a positive effort test (n = 12), and group 2 consisted of patients who had a negative effort test (n = 18).

Results

7-KC levels of patients were significantly higher compared to healthy subjects (39.87 ± 2.13 ng/mL, 20.26 ± 1.35 ng/mL; p=0.001). In patients, post-test 7-KC levels were significantly lower than pre-test levels (post-test vs. pre-test: 37.73 ± 2.44 ng/mL vs. 41.07 ± 2.18 ng/mL; p<0.001). There was a significant difference in post-test 7-KC levels among all study groups (negative, positive and healthy: 37.73 ± 2.44 ng/mL, 39.87 ± 2.13 ng/mL, 20.26 ± 1.35 ng/mL, respectively). There was no significant difference in IMA levels.

Conclusions

Patients with positive effort test had significantly higher levels of 7-KC. Additionally, after the effort test, the 7-KC value was reduced. 7-KC is a biomarker of oxidative damage and its value or changes before and after the effort test may be used as a biomarker in the diagnosis and follow-up of coronary artery disease.

Introduction: Childbirth Caesarean section affects the health status of the mother and baby. Risks that may occur bleeding, thromboembolism and infection during the postpartum period. One ofnon-pharmacological therapies aimed at reducing the pain is deep breath relaxation techniques and autogenic relaxation. Autogenic relaxation techniques provide a calming effect on the body and mind, relaxation and deep breathing is a form of nursing care to relaxing body.Method: This study was a quasy experiment with non-randomized design with a pretest-post test control group design. The treatment was deep breathing relaxation techniques and autogenic. Analysis of the data was paired T-test. Results:Average pain response from a group of pre-relaxation breath is 5.57, and the average pain response of the mother after relaxation breath is 4.43. There is a reduction in pain after the relaxation response in the airway at 1:14. No statistically significant difference between the average pain response before the deep breathing relaxation intervention. In the group of mothers with autogenic relaxation obtained average the pain response before intervention is 5.57, and pain response after intervention autogenic relaxation is 3.67. There is a decrease in pain response after intervention with the average reduction was 1.9. No statistically significant difference between the average pain response before had the intervention autogenic relaxation. There was differences in the mean difference in pain response were significant between the groups of women with deep breathing relaxation treatment and with autogenic relaxation, where the pain response scores (1.143) in the group of mothers with deep breathing relaxation lower than the pain response scores (1.905) in the group of mothers with autogenic relaxation. Discussion: Deep breathing relaxation and autogenic relaxation decrease the pain response on post caesarean section women. They were significants average pain response between treated mother by deep breath relaxation and autogenic relaxation. Keywords: autogenic relaxation techniques, deep breathing relaxation techniques

Nursing clinical education is an instrument in improving the clinical reasoning skills of students. One of learning models of clinical reasoning that is used to improve clinical reasoning skills in nursing education is the Outcome-Present Test Model (OPT). OPT is a nursing process model that is designed to develop the skills of learners’ clinical reasoning and the focus of the model are the results (outcomes) and thinking behind (backward) to change the client from his health status at this time (the present state) to the desired state (outcome ). In other words, a very simple model that consists of only 1 (one) page makes the learning improving clinical reasoning skills more easily and reduce the element of copy and paste in the documentation. While peer learning is an effective strategy to address the problem in which the students will be divided into several groups of 2-3 students.To obtain the result, this learning model uses research development method with the respondents 10 clinics and institutions preceptor and 30 students who practice in medical surgical nursing stase.The research results shows the level of student satisfaction after using Outcome-Present Test (OPT)-peer learning for 4 weeks, it affected with the value of α: 0,001. By using this model, not just a clinical reasoning that they get but they also will understand about how to use the diagnosis of NANDA, NIC and NOC. The next suggestion, this model can be a format in clinical learning in other departments.

Published: July 2018

Deaf people all around the world face difficulty to communicate with the others. Hence, they use their own language to communicate with each other. On the other hand, it is difficult for deaf people to get used to technological services such as websites, television, mobile applications, and so on. This project aims to design a prototype system for deaf people to help them to communicate with other people and computers without relying on human interpreters. The proposed system is for letter-based Kurdish Sign Language (KuSL) which has not been introduced before. The system would be a real-time system that takes actions immediately after detecting hand gestures. Three algorithms for detecting KuSL have been implemented and tested, two of them are well-known methods that have been implemented and tested by other researchers, and the third one has been introduced in this paper for the 1st time. The new algorithm is named Gridbased gesture descriptor. It turned out to be the best method for the recognition of Kurdish hand signs. Furthermore, the result of the algorithm was 67% accuracy of detecting hand gestures. Finally, the other well-known algorithms are named scale invariant feature transform and speeded-up robust features, and they responded with 42% of accuracy.
An improved modeling approach for asphaltene deposition in oil wells including particles size distribution
Authors: Eyni Leila , Assareh Mehdi , Ayatollahi Shahab , Ranjbaran Mohammad
Published: July 2018

There are several approaches to model Asphaltene deposition process in the wellbore. There are different assumptions to simplify the problem in the previous investigations for specific conditions, limiting the prediction range of the models. In this work, the effect of precipitated asphaltene particles size is included, to extend the available modeling approaches for deposition profile. To do so, two-dimensional partial differential equations based on asphaltene micro aggregates material balance including asphaltene aggregation, diffusion and deposition are numerically discretized and solved to find asphaltene deposition profile, in radial and vertical directions of vertical oil wells. The modeling results are verified with the results of the well-known ADEPT (asphaltene deposition tool in flow lines) model of Kurup et al. (2011). The size dependent diffusion coefficients of Escobedo and Mansoori (2010) are used to extend the base model. In addition, the population balance method (PBM) was included to improve the aggregation process description with size distribution of asphaltene particles. Based on the developed model a parametric study is performed to study the effect of asphaltene particles average size, flow rate, wellbore radius and fluid viscosity. The model evaluation shows the importance of asphaltene particle size in the deposition profile. In addition, the evaluation results show that as the average asphaltene particle size increases for a given distribution, the amount of deposition in the wellbore decreases.

This research aims to compare the story of Ciung Wanara (West Java) and Cindelaras (East Java). In addition to comparing the two stories, this study also explores the cultural values contained in each story. The  research applies a qualitative method with comparison technique and content analysis. A comparative study uses  an analysis of one literature with another, or comparing literature with other field of art. The result of the research shows that, despite being similar, the cultural background causes the two stories  to have differences. A folktale has a cultural tradition inherent to the habit undertaken by the society in which the story develops. In the Ciung Wanara story, there is a tradition of cockfights, naming babies based on natural events, and belief in mythology. While in the story of Cindelaras, besides having the same things, we also find  the representation of culture, especially the image of the king’s mistress as instead of the queen.

Oracle y MYSQL son gestores de bases de datos relacionales (con versiones libres) utilizados en el campo informático. Este artículo presenta los resultados de comparación del rendimiento de los comandos Insert, Select, Delete de estos dos motores de bases de datos. Si bien la sintaxis de codificación de uno y otro gestor es similar, se tiende a pensar erróneamente que ocurre lo mismo con los resultado de ejecución de las sentesias mencionadas. Por esto, con este documento se demuestra cuál de estos dos motores de bases de datos es más eficiente al ejecutar cada uno de los comandos mencionados. Se implementó un esquema de base de datos y se incluyeron varios registros con el comando Insert, para luego llevar a cabo procesos con los comandos Select y Delect. Los resultados obtenidos se presentan de forma gráfica, en cuadros comparativos que evidencian qué motor de base de datos es mejor para cada comando ejecutado con cierta cantidad de información, o, en su defecto, si el resultado obetnido en ambos motores de bases de datos es el mismo.
From the Roman Mosaic to the Portuguese Pavement: Continuity of an Artistic Expression in Time and Space
Authors: DURAN KREMER Maria De Jesus
Published: July 2018

The embellishment of pavements has always assumed a crucial role in what can be considered the furnishing of private and public spaces. The best known in antiquity has been, without doubt, the mosaic in all its forms: pebble mosaics, opus signinum, opus tessellatum, opus sectile.The mosaic, of Greco-Roman and Byzantine tradition, is one of the architectural and artistic elements that, for centuries, had been used to decorate the room in which they were placed. The beauty, coupled with the durabi-lity and strength of the material, was a determining aspect of the use of the mosaic as a pavement: two closely related aspects when looking at the Roman mosaic, which can still be found today on the Portuguese pavement or Portuguese mosaic, as it is called on the other side of the Atlantic.In this article, we intend to illustrate the continuity of an art, which has kept many classic motifs alive through the centuries taking it far beyond the territories of the Roman Empire.
On the Interpretation of Pothos in a Mosaic from the Antiquities Market with the Representation of Pelops and Hippodameia
Authors: NEIRA JIMENEZ Maria Luz
Published: July 2018

This paper analyzes a representation of Pothos in a mosaic auctioned in the antiquities market, –from a private collection after being acquired at Asfar Brothers, Beirut, in the late 60's. -, today in J. Bagot Archaeology-Ancient Art in Barcelona. More specifically, we will discuss, its interpretation within a scene related to Pelops and Hippodameia. Even the three characters are represented, with an unusual iconography, their identification is undoubtedly established on the base of inscriptions in Greek. To proceed with this discussion, this study analyzes the ancient literary sources and the images of Pothos depicted in the other mosaics, among others, on a mosaic of Pelops and Hippodameia from London antique market in 1979, that had been part of a private collection of California until the 1990s, being auctioned at Christie's in New York on 2010, and in the mosaic of the Weddings of Dionysus and Ariadne from Philippopolis.In connection with the references of some literary sources, the representations of these two mosaics are very revealing to understand the mosaic scene currently conserved in J. Bagot.
The Roman Villa of Tirana (Albania) and Its Mosaics
Authors: OMARI Elda
Published: July 2018

Tirana, the capital city of Albania, in Antiquity did not exist as an inhabited centre, simply it was considered a rural area, the residential territory of Dyrrachium patricians, as was Ercolano for Pompeii. In 1972 in Tirana, during the construction of a building, the remains of a rustic villa built in Roman Period were brought to light accidentally, and some of the rooms were decorated with polychrome mosaics. This villa was used for more than four centuries and it has several phases of life, for this reason it was dated by the archaeologists between the end of the 1st and the 5th century AD.The principal goal of the research is the punctual analysis of the mosaics motifs and their contextualization in the Balkan and Adriatic area, to identify the owner and the craftsmen who live and work in it. The second goal is to present to the international scientific community this rustic villa, a unique case for Tirana.

Bimbingan belajar di SD merupakan layanan bimbingan yang bertujuan untuk membantu siswa SD dapat belajar dengan efektif dan efisien, mencapai perkembangan optimal dan mengembangkan kebiasaan belajar yang baik dalam menguasai pengetahuan, keterampilan serta menyiapkan untuk melanjutkan pendidikan pada tingkat yang lebih tinggi. Oleh sebab itu kegiatan belajar mengajar di SD harus di integrasikan dalam bimbingan dan konseling. Salah satu metode pelaksanaan bimbingan belajar di SD adalah melalui kegiatan belajar mengajar yang bernuansa bimbingan. Operasionalisasinya adalah nilai-nilai layanan bimbingan belajar diberikan kepada siswa di sela-sela atau bahkan bersamaan dengan materi pelajaran.
Behavior of Reinforced Reactive Powder Concrete Two-Way Slabs under Static and Repeated Load
Authors: Hamid Hala Aqeel , Mohammed Shatha D.
Published: July 2018

This paper studies the behavior of reinforced Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) two-way slabs under static and repeated load. The experimental program included testing six simply supported RPC two-way slabs of 1000 mm length, 1000 mm width, and 70 mm thickness. All the tested specimens were identical in their material properties, and reinforcement details except their steel fibers content. They were cast in three pairs, each one had a different steel fibers ratio (0.5 %, 1 %, and 1.5 %) respectively. In each pair, one specimen was tested under static load and the other under five cycles of repeated load (loading-unloading). Static test results revealed that increasing steel fibres volume fraction from 0.5 % to 1 % and from 1% to 1.5%, led to an increase in the: first crack load by (32.2 % and 52.3 %), ultimate load by (36.1 % and 17.0 %), ultimate deflection by (33.6 % and 3.4 %), absorbed energy by (128 % and 20.2 %), and the ultimate strain by (1.1 % and 6.73 %). It also increased the stiffness and the ductility of the specimens especially at the final stages of loading. Additionally, it delayed the propagation of the cracks, controlled their growth, kept the integrity of the specimens at post cracking stage, and avoided their ruin at the failure stage through its “bridging” effect. For the repeated load test, applying five cycles of repeated load to the steel fiber reinforced RPC two-way slab specimens led to a decreasing in the ultimate load capacity, ultimate deflection, ultimate strain, and absorbed energy in a comparison with the corresponding static test specimens, and that because of the loading-unloading process which causes a fluctuation of stresses and more damages in concrete. Increasing the steel fibers volume fractions decreased the dissipated energy of the specimens that subjected to a repeated load, where the difference percent of dissipated energy between the first and second cycles of (R0.5 %, R1 %, and R1.5 %) specimens were (68.0 %, 46.2%, and 32.4%) respectively.
