Teaching Writing Skills
Authors: Najma Atherunnisa N
Published: September 2020

This paper is based on my M.Phil research Project “A Discoursal Approach To Teaching Writing.” Seven essays were analyzed using the discourse analysis approach to identify the discourse pattern, functions and relations.

The essays were considered in rhetorical terms and they represented different modes of writing - First person Narrative, public speech, personal, descriptive, Biographical and two Argumentative essays.

The discourse organization was studied and found important features, common at three levels. (a) Macro level - Patterns situation - problem - solution - evaluation (b) Micro level - functions Elaboration, Evaluation Inference and summing up (c) Micro level- relations condition – consequence, cause – effect, reason – result, contrast, question – answer and claim – counterclaim.

            These findings showed that certain discourse features were used in similar ways by writers to structure and organization texts irrespective of what genre they belong to.

 

On the basis of the findings, two types of tasks were designed at the above mentioned three levels. Tasks that help the student (a) To identify the discourse features (b) To develop their ability to produce coherent writing involving the use of these features.

The trying out of selected tasks showed that the tasks were feasible and helpful. Though some of the students had problems initially in comprehending, they could perform the tasks quite successfully once explanations were given and when content was given than otherwise.

Characterization of tissue specific expressed proteins and metabolites in Cenchrus polystachion (L.) Schult and their role in apomixis
Authors: Somayajula Deepti , Barage Sagar , Desai Neetin
Published: September 2020

Agricultural production can be aggrandized by adaptation of trending technologies or processes which focus on increase in seed production. Asexual reproduction in plants or Apomixis is such a process, but its absence in major crop plants has paved an increased research towards understanding the process of apomixis. In present study an attempt was made to understand the role of differentially expressed proteins and metabolite in plant parts like leaf, stigma, immature ovary, seed, anther sac and pollen grains of Cenchrus polystachion. 563, 936, 1188, 770, 721 and 712 proteins and 6118, 6784, 6192, 6615, 5797 and 5791 metabolites were obtained from leaf, stigma, immature ovary, seed, anther sac and pollen respectively on proteome and metabolome analysis. Some of the differentially expressed proteins and metabolites unveiled the important pathways for apomixis in Cenchrus. The top most pathways involved in apomixis are sphingolipid metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis, alpha linolenic acid pathway and brassinosteroid biosynthesis. The detailed analysis of the all the tissues gave an insight of the overexpression of GNDI Inhibitor (Guanosine nucleotide diphosphate dissociation inhibitor) in immature ovary. The molecular docking study further revealed that the GoLOCO motif of GNDI efficiently interacts with G alpha protein which interferes with the binding of G alpha with PLD alpha (Phospholipase D alpha). Thus, the overexpression of G alpha Inhibitor might exert their effect on PLD alpha leading to meiosis inactivation and formation of apomictic seed.

A Logic Beyond Lausanne: A Geopolitical Perspective on the Congruence between Turkey's New Hard Power and its Strategic Reorientation
Authors: Tanchum Michaël
Published: September 2020

Turkey’s new expeditionary capability, resting on enhanced naval capacity and new forward bases, is the logical result of Turkey’s post-Cold War strategic reorientation. Moving beyond the Cold War framework, Turkey's strategic goal is to become an interregional power that will set the terms for a new pattern of connectivity between Europe, Africa and Asia. ‘Reclaiming’ a foreign policy prerogative exercised by the Ottoman Empire but discontinued after Turkey’s founding following the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, Turkey's policymakers are seeking to move beyond the Lausanne orientation that informed Turkey’s 1952 NATO accession and persisted throughout the duration of the Cold War. This study examines Ankara's challenge of calibrating the use of its hard power instruments to serve its post-Lausanne strategic orientation toward establishing a Turkey-centered, interregional connectivity.
Deciphering Turkey’s Assertive Military and Defense Strategy: Objectives, Pillars, and Implications
Authors: Yeşiltaş Murat
Published: September 2020

This article argues that the change in Turkey’s defense and military strategy stems both from Turkey’s changing security landscape following the post-Arab spring regional disorder and Turkey’s quest to be an assertive regional player. The reasons behind the change in Turkish defense and military strategy also include a desire to gain political influence in the international arena and improve Turkey’s military capabilities to deter emerging security threats near its borders and abroad. The article seeks to unpack Turkey’s growing assertive military and defense strategy by taking into account its main drivers, primary objectives and essential pillars, as well as its tangible repercussions on the military mindset. The article has two main sections. The first section contextualizes Turkey’s new military and defense strategy by taking into consideration its main drivers, objectives and pillars. The second empirically scrutinizes Turkey’s military strategy by focusing on its military activism in extra-territorial domains. In this section, Turkey’s military interventions in Syria following the failed military coup and its strategy of power projection are examined to explain the question of how Turkey operationalizes its new military and defense strategies.
Between a Rock and a Hard Place: How to Make Sense of Turkey’s S-400 Choice?
Authors: Kibaroğlu Mustafa
Published: September 2020

With the wrap-up of the S-400 deal with Russia in December 2017, critics argue that Turkey is caught between a rock and a hard place due to the adamant opposition of its NATO allies, the United States in particular, which has threatened Ankara with imposing severe sanctions. Would this be the correct representation of the situation at hand? Does it make any sense for Turkey to engage Russia, an archrival nation, to enhance the security of the country? Is the S-400 deal worth the risk of alienating the allied nations whose projected sanctions may have wide-ranging political, economic and military repercussions? With these questions in mind, this paper will try to shed light on the specifics of the S-400 deal that make one think that it may indeed make sense for Turkey to bear the brunt of engaging Russia. In the same vein, the paper will assess the impact of the S-400 deal on Turkey’s defense industries. The paper will also present the author’s conception of the current “international political non-order” as an underlying factor behind the deal. Finally, the paper will suggest that the S-400 deal must be approached from a wider perspective so as to grasp the extent of the service it has done in bolstering Turkey’s military-industrial complex.
Struggling the pandemic crises as a global public good: the economic implications of pandemics
Authors: GÜLER Hünkar
Published: September 2020

Public goods which have the features of nonrivalry in consumption and nonexcludability have positive externalaties spreading the large masses, and also cover negative externalaties (public bads) not to damage the environment, health and so on. Cross-border spillover effects of externalaties actually make the public goods convert to global public goods. In this sense, struggling the pandemics is a most crucial global public good which does not only impact human life but also prevents the collapse of national economies. Pandemics slow the pace of economic growth as well as increasing the loss of workforce. Governments employ a balance between the increase in spread of disease and mortality, and economic stability. This paper attempts to explain the whole story of the pandemics and their economic implications by giving examples from literature. Main finding resulted from the papers written on this issue is that pandemics exacerbate the national economies through different channels. Developed and developing countries should take the pandemics into account as a regressive power or obstacle in front of economic growth and stability of state budgets, strongly collaborate against pandemic as a naturel disaster, support their healthcare systems and be ready for these kinds of disasters.

Published: September 2020

Sistem desalinasi air laut menggunakan metode capacitive deionization (CDI) dibuat berbahan dasar karbon aktif sebagai eletroda. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan dan mempercepat proses desalinasi air laut sehingga air tersebut layak untuk dikuonsumsi. Karbon aktif dibuat dari tempurung kemiri menggunakan H3PO4 2,5 % sebagai aktivator dengan suhu aktivasi 300 oC, dan 700oC. Berdasarkan data scanning electron microscope (SEM), diperoleh bahwa karbon aktif dengan suhu aktivasi 700 oC mempunyai jumlah pori yang lebih banyak dibanding karbon aktif dengan suhu aktivasi 300 oC. Karbon aktif dengan suhu aktivasi 700oC digunakan sebagai bahan dasar pembuatan elektroda untuk sistem desalinasi. Elektroda tersebut dibuat dengan tahapan berikut, pembuatan karbon aktif dari tempurung kemiri, pembuatan sel CDI, dan perakitan multisel elektroda CDI. Sistem desalinasi disusun dengan teknik multi sel elektroda menggunakan 5 pasang sel CDI. Sel CDI dikarakterisasi dengan cyclic voltammetry (CV) untuk menentukan kapsitansi spesifik elektroda. Sedangakan hasil dari proses desalinasi dikarakterisasi menggunakan conductivitymeter untuk menentukan konduktivitas dan atomic absorpsion spectroscopy (AAS) untuk menentukan kadar natrium. Kapasitansi spesifik dari elektroda yang dihasilkan adalah 160,476 mF/g. Pengurangan kadar garam pada air laut ditunjukan oleh penurunan konduktivitas dari 3850 µS menjadi 3450 µS. Kadar natrium menurun dari 9884,34 mg/L menjadi 2347,64 mg/L, atau pengurangan kadar natrium pada proses desalinasi terjadi sebanyak 76,25 %. Setelah proses desalinasi berlangsung selama 5 menit, kadar natrium terus menurun menjadi 2310,43 atau proses desalinasi terjadi sebanyak 76,7%. Berdasarkan hasil yang diperoleh, CDI dengan multisel dapat meningkatkan proses desalinasi dan mempercepat proses desalinasi tersebut.

Published: September 2020

A new approach for efficiently investigating the degradation of fuel cell catalysts under realistic conditions is presented combining accelerated stress tests (ASTs) in a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) setup with small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). GDE setups were recently introduced as a novel testing tool combining the advantages of classical electrochemical cells with a three-electrode setup and membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs). SAXS characterization of the catalyst layer enables an evaluation of the particle size distribution of the catalyst and its changes upon applying an AST. The straight-forward approach not only enables stability testing of fuel cell catalysts in a comparative and reproducible manner, it also allows mechanistic insights into the degradation mechanism. In contrast to standard rotating disk electrode measurements or identical location microscopy, typical metal loadings for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), i.e. 0.2 mgPt cm-2geo, are applied in the GDE and the degradation of the overall (whole) catalyst layer is probed. For the first time, realistic degradation tests can be performed comparing a set of catalysts with several repeats within reasonable time. It is demonstrated that independent of the initial particle size in the pristine catalyst, for ASTs simulating load cycle conditions in a PEMFC, all catalysts degrade to a similar particle size distribution.

Published: September 2020

Photostimulated luminescence, which allows energy or data to be stored and released using electromagnetic waves as both the input and output, has attracted considerable interest in the fields of biomedical and informatics technologies, but this phenomenon is mostly limited to solid inorganic materials. Here, we report photostimulated luminescence from purely organic blend films composed of electron donor, acceptor, and trap/emitter molecules. In the films, charges are accumulated as radical ions by ultraviolet light irradiation and then extracted by near infrared light irradiation to produce visible light. Films are capable of multiple cycles (>10 times) of organic photostimulated luminescence, which was still observable from films left in the dark at room temperature for one week after excitation, and emission color could be varied by changing the trap/emitter molecules. These findings will broadly impact existing applications and provide new prospects for innovative flexible devices.
Porous Shape-Persistent Rylene Imine Cages with Tunable Optoelectronic Properties and Delayed Fluorescence

Published: September 2020

A simultaneous combination of porosity and tunable optoelectronic properties, common in covalent organic frameworks, are rare in shape-persistent organic cages. Yet, organic cages offer important molecular advantages, the solubility and modularity. Herein, we report the synthesis of a series of chiral imine organic cages with three built-in rylene units by means of dynamic imine chemistry and we investigate their textural and optoelectronic properties. Thereby we demonstrate that the synthesized rylene cages are porous, can be reversibly reduced at accessible potentials, and can absorb from UV up to green light. We also show that they preferentially adsorb CO2 over N2 and CH4 with a good selectivity. In addition, we discovered that the cage incorporating three perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide) units displays a delayed fluorescence, likely as a consequence of formation of a correlated triplet pair, the multiexciton state in singlet fission. Rylene cages thus represent a unique platform to investigate the effect of electronic properties on material porosity and, at the same time, to probe excited-state phenomena in the limit of vanishing interchromophore coupling.
Ion-specific Adsorption on Bare Gold (Au) Nanoparticles in aqueous Solution: Double-Layer Structure and Surface Potentials
Authors: Li Zhujie , Ruiz Victor G. , Kanduč Matej , Dzubiella Joachim
Published: September 2020

We study the solvation and electrostatic properties of bare gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) of 1-2 nm in size in aqueous electrolyte solutions of sodium salts of various anions with large physicochemical diversity (Cl-, BF4-, PF6-, Nip-(nitrophenolate), 3- and 4-valent hexacyanoferrate (HCF)) using nonpolarizable, classical molecular dynamics computer simulations. We find a substantial facet selectivity in the adsorption structure and spatial distribution of the ions at the Au-NPs: while sodium and some of the anions (e.g., Cl-, HCF3-) adsorb more at the `edgy' (100) and (110) facets of the NPs, where the water hydration structure is more disordered, other ions (e.g., BF4-, PF6-, Nip-) prefer to adsorb strongly on the extended and rather flat (111) facets. In particular, Nip-, which features an aromatic ring in its chemical structure, adsorbs strongly and perturbs the first water monolayer structure on the NP (111) facets substantially. Moreover, we calculate adsorptions, radially-resolved electrostatic potentials, as well as the far-field effective electrostatic surface charges and potentials by mapping the long-range decay of the calculated electrostatic potential distribution onto the standard Debye-Hückel form. We show how the extrapolation of these values to other ionic strengths can be performed by an analytical Adsorption-Grahame relation between effective surface charge and potential. We find for all salts negative effective surface potentials in the range from -10 mV for NaCl down to about -80 mV for NaNip, consistent with typical experimental ranges for the zeta-potential. We discuss how these values depend on the surface definition and compare them to the explicitly calculated electrostatic potentials near the NP surface, which are highly oscillatory in the ± 0.5 V range.

Published: September 2020

Hydrogenases are microbial redox enzymes that catalyze H2 oxidation and proton reduction (H2 evolution). While all hydrogenases show high oxidation activities, the majority of [FeFe]-hydrogenases are excellent H2 evolution catalysts as well. Their active site cofactor comprises a [4Fe-4S] cluster covalently linked to a diiron site equipped with carbon monoxide and cyanide ligands that facilitate catalysis at low overpotential. Distinct proton transfer pathways connect the active site niche with the solvent, resulting in a non-trivial dependence of hydrogen turnover and bulk pH. To analyze the catalytic mechanism of [FeFe]-hydrogenase, we employ in situ infrared spectroscopy and infrared spectro-electrochemistry. Titrating the pH under H2 oxidation or H2 evolution conditions reveals the influence of site-selective protonation on the equilibrium of reduced cofactor states. Governed by pKa differences across the active site niche and proton transfer pathways, we find that individual electrons are stabilized either at the [4Fe-4S] cluster (alkaline pH values) or at the diiron site (acidic pH values). This observation is discussed in the context of the natural pH dependence of hydrogen turnover as catalyzed by [FeFe]-hydrogenase.

Published: September 2020

The long term edentulous space among the patients can lead to the alveolar ridge defect that mainly occurs due to the injury, trauma, denture wears and the periodontitis. Based on the seibert's classification they are classified into 4 classes ; Class I (buccolingual loss of the tissue),class II (apicoronal loss of the tissue), Class III (Both loss of the tissue), Class IV (Normal). According to the classification, a proper treatment plan and alternative can be determined for the successful outcomes. The main aim of this study is to determine the age and gender based distribution of the edentulous patients according to seibert’s classification. The study was conducted in Saveetha Dental College. The data collection has been done from the department of Prosthodontics for patients undergoing fixed partial denture treatment. A total sample data of 479 patients were obtained for a period of nine months ( June 2019 – April 2020.). Statistical analysis was done by using chi-square test with SPSS software version 23. Based on the results , the age group distribution was about 18-35 years(43%), 36-54 years (42%) and 55-83 years (15%), the distribution of the Seibert’s classification of class I (78%), Class II (6%), Class III (6%) and Class IV (10%), the gender distribution was about males (58%) and females (42%). The most prevalent type of edentulous ridge type is Class I among the age group of 36-54 years which has the higher male predilection. They are statistically significant (p=<0.05). The prevalence of Siebert’s Classification of the edentulous ridges helps in the suggestion of the various management techniques and the treatment planning to the patient to ensure the prognosis and the treatment outcomes to be successful.

Shoulder osteoarthritis can be defined as the disease in which the joint of the shoulders get worn down and makes movement very hard. It can be defined as the disease associated with age and genetic factors. This study was done to assess the association between age, exercise and work-related damage with shoulder osteoarthritis among middle-aged and old aged men and women. The study population consisted of 100 men and women of middle age group and old age group. A questionnaire was circulated online through the Google forms link, and the responses were recorded. The data was collected and was statistically analyzed in SPSS software. The results were represented in the form of pie charts and graphs. The association between age, exercise and work related damage with shoulder osteoarthritis among middle-aged and old-aged male and female population was analyzed. It was seen that only less than 60 percent of the population were aware of the term osteoarthritis. This survey can be used to diagnose and treat shoulder osteoarthritis at the earlier stages in an effective way.
Engine Of Consciousness In Brain - A Review
Authors: Aldrin Joshua A  , Yuvaraj Babu K  , Gifrina Jayaraj
Published: September 2020

Consciousness is the cognitive faculty which is evolved by natural selection and it has designed a sense of ourselves and our surroundings. The cerebral cortex is ‘the seat of consciousness’ in humans and mammals. The salient features of consciousness, they are human consciousness exists, involves short term memory, it occurs independently of sensory inputs, it displays steerable attentions, has capacity for attentive interpretations of complex or ambiguous data, consciousness disappears in a deep sleep and finally, it the contents of several basic modalities within a single unified experience. The consciousness depends on the ascending projections from the dorsal that form the ascending activating system. The engine of consciousness depends mainly on the brain's activity of sustaining rich dynamics in neural activity. The aim of the present review is to study the aspects of consciousness and thereby, the present scope of retrieving people out of consciousness and to consciousness disorders. This research was conceived as a scoping literature review. This review has accessed existing reviews and researches in the last decade mostly, through PMC database, MeSH, Google Scholar, , , CrossRef. Considered research was limited to manuscripts related consciousness, drugs relations, and Alzheimer's disease. This review excluded researches, other neurological disorders not related to consciousness, physiological impairment of consciousness. Quality of articles used was assessed using Quality assessment tools and graded as strong, moderate and weak. The description of the included studies for the review is tabulated.
The experiences of Vietnamese students in New Zealand: A new country – a new home
Authors: Ho Hau
Published: September 2020

This study explores the everyday living experiences of five Vietnamese postgraduate students in New Zealand, employing an interpretative phenomenological analysis approach. The analysis revealed one minor theme which captures the students’ preparations before coming to New Zealand, and one overarching theme which focuses on living arrangements and circumstances. The students were ill-prepared for their lives in New Zealand, which contributed to the difficulties encountered. They were shocked to find that their studies and lives were affected by accommodation arrangements, which forced them to learn to cope with unfamiliar issues. The overarching essence is that a variety of factors (e.g., familial, cultural, and gender factors) influenced the students’ experiences. However, drawing on traditional cultural values, the students could overcome these difficulties. The study has implications for host universities to assist students in coping with the harsh reality of everyday living issues, including having a roof over one’s head.

Published: September 2020

La modalidad semipresencial-distancia en la Educación Superior, demanda la creación de nuevas estrategias que estimulen la enseñanza y el aprendizaje. Este artículo expone una investigación sistematizada sobre la ejecución del enfoque de Aula Invertida articulada con la Motivación; se plantea un marco teórico que sustenta el modelo AIM en el desarrollo y construcción  de una práctica pedagógica generada en la Universidad Nacional de Educación (UNAE) Javier Loyola, Azogues, Cañar, Ecuador, con estudiantes que son docentes del sistema educativo fiscal y particular; pertenecientes a quinto ciclo en la cátedra El Medio Natural, carrera de Educación General Básica (EGB) modalidad a distancia. La propuesta responde a la carencia de metodologías relacionadas con el conectivismo que los profesores  necesitan para desempeñar la docencia con estudiantes adultos; y se fundamenta en el Modelo pedagógico UNAE; para lo cual se recurre al Modelo AIM como didáctica de enseñanza en la educación híbrida; por lo que se planifica actividades autónomas en plataforma virtual, praxis en las instituciones educativas y jornadas presenciales en la universidad; espacios que forjan el diálogo abierto, trabajo colaborativo y cooperativo en pro de consolidar aprendizajes mediante las técnicas de feedback, feedforward y motivación; pretendiendo alcanzar objetivos planteados en la malla curricular, desarrollar competencias, generar y aplicar en contextos educativos los conocimientos desaprendidos, aprendidos o fortalecidos en la universidad. Apoyados en la investigación cuantitativa y cualitativa se proyecta obtener resultados que muestren la percepción de los estudiantes-docentes sobre la ejecución del modelo AIM en el aula al finalizar el ciclo.
