Authors: Trisnowiyanto Bambang , Andriani Isna
Published: April 2020

Cerebral palsy is a collection of motor disorders caused by brain damage that occur before, during or after birth which can be caused by many factors such as, congenital, genetic, inflation, infection and poisoning during pregnancy, trauma and metabolic disorders. Children with cerebral palsy will mostly have problems with posture. Therefore, to find out the level of independence in children with cerebral palsy, it is necessary to have an examination carried out by health workers, especially physiotherapy. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of the most common type of CP that occurred in CP events which were correlated with the level of activities functional independence of the child's movements. This research was an observational descriptive study with a measuring instrument for the Gross Motor Function Classification System Expanded and Resived. Based on the analysis of the data obtained in the independent category of 33 children (6,3%) with quadriplegia spastic CP type, 34 children (6,5%) with diplegia spastic CP type, 15 children (2,9%) with spastic hemiplegia CP type , 19 children (3,6%) with atetoid CP type, and 28 children (5,4%) with hyponia CP type. On the other hands, in the dependent category there were 149 children (28,5%) with quadriplegia spastic CP type, 156 children (29,8%) with diplegia spastic CP type, 18 children (3,4%) with spastic hemiplegia CP type, 27 children (5,2%) with atetoid CP type, and 44 children (8,4%) with hyponia CP type. Conclusion the type of CP that has the highest prevalence was spastic group CP with a low or dependent level of independence, and correlates perfectly (+1) between the types of cerebral palsy with the level of functional independence of children based on pearson product moment.
Concrete-Based and Mixed Waste Aggregates in Rendering Mortars
Authors: Maia Pederneiras Cinthia
Published: April 2020

The construction industry is considered the biggest waste producer in Europe. In order to encourage recycling, European Parliament decreed through the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC, that at least 70% of construction and demolition waste should be recycled by 2020. From recycling plants, three types of recycled aggregates are produced. Recycled Concrete Aggregate, mainly from cementitious waste, as such as concrete and mortars residues; Recycled Masonry Aggregates mainly composed by recycled ceramic materials, as such as tiles and bricks residues; Mixed Recycled Aggregates based on rubble residues, from heterogenous materials waste. This research evaluated the technical feasibility of rendering mortars with Recycled Concrete Aggregates and Mixed Recycled Aggregates, in different volume incorporation of 0%, 20%, 50% and 100%. The experimental programme comprised an analyse of the fresh and hardened properties, regarding the water and mechanical behaviour of the mortars. From the results, it was noticed that the modified mortars presented a reduction in the modulus of elasticity, which its correlated to a less susceptibility to cracking. Regarding mechanical performance, the modified mortars obtained reduction of the flexural and compressive strength over time. However, it was not a significant harmful criterion. Therefore, the incorporation of recycled aggregates in cementitious materials is considered a technical and sustainable solution.
Gut Microbiota in NAFLD Pathogenesis and Possible Dietary-Based Strategies
Authors: Meroni Marica , Longo Miriam , Dongiovanni Paola
Published: April 2020

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered as a global healthcare burden since it is epidemiologically related to obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). It entails a broad spectrum of hepatic injuries, which includes simple and uncomplicated steatosis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The susceptibility to develop NAFLD is highly variable and it is influenced by several cues including environmental (i.e., dietary habits and physical activity) and inherited (i.e., genetic/epigenetic) risk factors. Emerging evidence has outlined the implication of intestinal microbiota and its harmful by-products as actively contributors to NAFLD pathophysiology, probably due to the tight anatomo-functional crosstalk between the gut and the liver. Unhealthy dietary habits may trigger qualitative and quantitative modifications in intestinal flora taxonomic composition, mucosal inflammation, and intestinal barrier derangement. An enhanced intestinal permeability, also referred to ‘leaky gut’, results in the translocation of viable pathogenic bacteria, Gram-negative products, and pro-inflammatory luminal metabolites into the bloodstream, further corroborating the liver damage. Furthermore, long-term dysbiosis may exert detrimental effect on hepatic epigenome. Indeed, epigenetic modifiers (DNA methylation, histone modifications and miRNAs regulation) are highly sensitive to environmental cues. Nowadays, no therapeutic interventions are available for NAFLD prevention and management, thus modifications in lifestyle, diet and physical exercise remain the cornerstone in therapeutic approaches to NAFLD, even in the light of their impact on intestinal microflora.

Reassessing how Islam serves as ideational factor for protecting people, this paper is an effort of enriching human security by incorporating religious paradigm, in particular Indonesian Islam, as an alternative paradigm in developing better understanding of the subject and development discourse.
The Worldview Of Social Harmony Bulding In The Pluralisme A Phenomenology Study in Balun Village, Turi District, Lamongan Regency
Authors: Widayati Elvi
Published: April 2020

This phenomenon is interesting because in the midst of religious differences they can build a peaceful and harmonious socio-cultural life system. While in other areas differences in religion or belief become the legitimacy or trigger of conflicts and violence between groups in society. The impact of religious conflict or violence is the occurrence of inequality, insecurity, especially for minority groups, which in turn will affect national integration and unity. From this phenomenon, it is interesting to study how Balun people can process differences in religion, so they can foster and build a culture of tolerance in society. This study aims to uncover the paradigm, factors and models or forms of tolerance in Balun Village, Turi Subdistrict, Lamongan Regency, using research methods with qualitative approaches to informant units, namely Christian (Hindu) and Muslim (figures) and Balun Village Devices. Data collection methods using the method of observation (observation), in-depth interviews (depth interviews) with the Snowball model and literature review and FGD (Focus Group Discusion). Analysis of data using multidisciplinary science, meaning that depends on the data obtained, if the data obtained by religious data analysis uses religious studies and so on. The results of the study, the first Balun community paradigm in understanding its religious teachings (Islam, Hinduism, Christianity) is a substantive inclusive paradigm. Second, the factors underlying the culture of tolerance in Balun are the factors that are understanding of the religious teachings that are substantive-inclusive, pluralist political policies, tolerant socio-cultural traditions, maintained interfaith traditions of marriage. The tolerance model found in Balun is, first, Plural Village (Device) Structure. Second, Multicultural (Democratic) Family, Third, Ngaturi / Kenduri Multicultural and Fourth, Inclusive Da'wah. Hopefully the toll road model built in Balun Village can be an inspiration and mirror for other Indonesian people who are prone to conflict, so that our hopes of building a united, tolerant, advanced, peaceful and harmonious Indonesia can be realized.

Authors: Ржевська Наталія , Доброскок Ірина , Заімова Дарина
Published: April 2020

Innovative information technologies and the rapid rate of information updates reveal the need for more effective two-way communication, facilitation of interaction and collaboration, information exchange and flexibility. The article presents a research on cooperation tools in the virtual exchange project between the Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi Hryhorii Skovoroda State Pedagogical University (Ukraine) and the Trakia University (Bulgaria). A brief description of a specialized course in virtual exchanges related to energy efficiency psychology for future entrepreneurs and industrial workers is presented. In addition to covering the subject matter, educational information is designed in such a way that it enables one to acquire and practice ICT skills, in particular, to use various collaboration tools allowing interaction between students and teachers and having implications for learning strategies. The article’s goal is to test software tools that can be used for virtual exchange in higher education institutions at international level, evaluate their attractiveness to students, and determine whether the use of already familiar collaboration tools influences the general impression from virtual exchange. The experimental work involved 12 useful tools for cooperation in the information field. Leaders and outsiders were identified, that is, tools that participants in the virtual exchange preferred outside the exchange process and those that the participants never used. During each week of the virtual exchange course, new tools for teamwork were used. Leaders in terms of satisfaction with the process of virtual exchange were Skype, Zoom, Webex, Google G-suite, Workplace by Facebook, Cliqtalk, Padlet. The study provides a theoretical basis for informing all individuals interested in the virtual exchange about the relationship between specific tools for collaborative work in the process of virtual exchange and their influence on each other. The results will be taken into account for a more in-depth analysis of the tools functionality in the virtual exchange process. It was also important that absolutely new tools for virtual exchange could have a high assessment in terms of satisfaction with the process and its results. This suggests the motivation to learn, especially in the field of cooperation with the help of information technology, which is so appreciated by young people.

Підкреслено важливість набуття знань, умінь та компетентностей для вчителів та учнів щодо здійснення та відстоювання своїх демократичних прав та обов'язків в Інтернеті, а також для просування та захисту прав людини, демократії та верховенства права в кіберпросторі. Особлива увага зосереджена на необхідності адаптування інструментів з використанням інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій для навчання до аудиторії. Підкреслено важливість того, щоб онлайн засоби, які використовує вчитель, були різнобічними та використовувались як засоби надання зворотного зв’язку для створення можливості краще зрозуміти власні сильні та слабкі сторони використання ІКТ та знаходження власних шляхів досягнення успіху.
A WEB RESOURCE MAP FOR A UNIVERSITY COURSE IN THE HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Authors: Гудманян Артур , Сидоренко Сергій Іванович
Published: April 2020

ICT and the Internet have revolutionized education, in terms of opportunities for distance learning, independent study and resource sharing in particular. However, these new opportunities are not equally utilized across university curricula, with much slower progress in the Humanities than in STEM disciplines. The paper looks at how teaching the History of the English language, a mandatory course for university students majoring in English, can be enhanced through the use of web resources. The use of high quality study resources can help solve a threefold task: shifting the emphasis from the lecturer to the student; raising students’ motivation and engagement in the course through independent work and research; and increasing the content quality of the course. The authors developed a map of the Internet resources that can be used in the course in the History of the English language. The map has four segments: digital texts; online dictionaries and translation tools; videos, podcasts, textual materials, databases, timelines, etc.; and online activities. Each of the segments offers a list of the Internet resources which can be recommended for the course. The authors see the major benefits of using these resources in facilitating students’ preparation for lectures, practical classes, tests and examinations, changing their overall attitude to the History of English, which is traditionally stigmatized by students as insurmountably hard to master, helping students to see that the course can be engaging and even fun, motivating them to explore the history of the language they study on their own. The critical assessment of the web resources available for the course has revealed that the Internet can offer little for the online activities segment of the developed map, which defines the necessity for academics to invest their effort in developing and sharing exercises, practical assignments, tests and other activities to assist students in mastering the course and provide tools for knowledge assessment.

The article deals with Gran software and the access to it through the remote desktop. The peculiarities of web-based remote desktop access and Gran software system for teaching mathematics at school are revealed. The paper also describes the application of open source software (Ulteo OVD) that allows users to remotely access their desktops and applications using one of the Desktop as a Service cloud components through a client device browser. The modes of using Ulteo OVD client software are described. Two servers (Application Server and Session Manager Server) have been organized to use Ulteo OVD by means of PROXMOX web-based virtual environment. The authors propose the way to use Ulteo OVD to access software installed on a remote server, in particular Gran software. The article also describes some examples of graphical problem solving using Gran1 that can be used in maths at school. The considered issues are quite complex and rather time-consuming without Gran1 software for graphical analysis of various tasks and approximate calculation of numerical measures of different objects (lengths of surfaces, areas of surfaces, volumes of bodies, probabilities of occurrence of different events, statistical analysis of observational data) of their solving. The range of tasks that can be solved with the use of the Gran software package, in particular Gran1 programme, is quite broad. By applying a creative approach, their analysis and solution can have a positive effect on the learners’ mental and cultural development. It is emphasized that the use of various technologies in educational process, as well as the selection of tasks and the content of training in general, should be pedagogically weighted, based on the harmonious combination of pedagogical heritage of the past and modern achievements of scientific and technological progress.

Infections caused by Trichomonas vaginalis in humans are one of the main public health problems caused by sexually transmitted diseases. Objective of this study was to evaluate potential biological activity of the medicinal plant Argemone mexicana (Mexican poppy) on T. vaginalis. Methanolic extracts of the stems and leaves of A. mexicana, and different fractions were prepared with solvents of different polarities. The extracts and functional groups were detected containing sterols, triterpenes, quinones, flavonoids and, alkaloids. Extracts from both the stems and leaves of A. mexicana inhibited the growth of T. vaginalis with half-maximal inhibitory concentration value of 70.6 and 67.2 μg/ml, respectively. In the active fractions, the most abundant compounds were berberine and jatrorrhizine, with presumed antiparasitic activity.

Echinococcosis occurs mainly in areas with heavy livestock farming, such as Central Asia, America, and Australia. Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.) infection causes echinococcosis in intermediate hosts, such as sheep, cattle, goats, camels, and horses. Numerous cases of echinococcosis occur in Uzbekistan as stock farming is a primary industry. Epidemiological and genetic studies of E. granulosus s.l. are very important for mitigating its impact on public health and the economy; however, there are no such studies on E. granulosus s.l. in Uzbekistan. In the present study, to determine which genotypes exist and are transmitted, we isolated Echinococcus sp. from definitive hosts (one isolate each from jackal and dog) and intermediate hosts (52 isolates from humans and 6 isolates from sheep) in Uzbekistan and analyzed the isolates by sequencing 2 mitochondrial DNA components (cox1 and nad1). The results showed that all of isolates except one belonged to the E. granulosus sensu stricto (s.s.) G1 and G3 genotypes. Phylogenetic analysis based on cox1 sequences showed that 42 isolates from humans, 6 isolates from sheep, and one isolate from jackal were the G1 genotype, whereas the remaining 8 isolates from human and the one isolate from dog were the G3 genotype. These results suggest that the G1 and G3 genotypes of E. granulosus s.s. are predominant in Uzbekistan, and both wild animals and domestic animals are important for maintaining their life cycle. Only one isolate from human sample was confirmed to be E. eqiinus (G4 genotype), which is known to be for the first time.

Livoneca redmanii (Isopoda, Cymothoidae) in meagre Argyrosomus regius: parasitological and molecular diagnosis and proposed control measure
Authors: Fadel A , Bessat M , Abdel-Aziz M
Published: April 2020

Isopodiosis in cultured meagre Argyrosomus regius was investigated at 3 farms in the northern lakes of Egypt throughout 2018, based upon prevalence rate, parasitological examination, and molecular identification by PCR targeting the large ribosomal subunit 16S of the rRNA gene. Further, the susceptibility of A. regius to isopod infection was experimentally evaluated under hyposalination of 25, 15, and 8 ppt for 1 wk. The isolated isopod stages were morphologically identified as Livoneca redmanii Leach, 1818 with prevalence rates of 77.05 and 77.9% in Al-Madiyyah and Sidi Krir, respectively. The highest prevalence and salinity of 78.85% and 30-34 ppt were reported in El Matareya. DNA sequencing and molecular analysis confirmed the identification of L. redmanii. A. regius experimentally infected with L. redmanii under a hyposalination protocol at 15 and 8 ppt showed marked reduction in mortality (20 and 50%, respectively), and infection prevalence (40 and 63.33%, respectively). The serum lysozyme concentration and nitric oxide of treated fish at 15 and 8 ppt were significantly increased compared to those held at 25 and 33 ppt, whereas serum osmolality levels were higher at 25 and 33 ppt. To our knowledge, this is the first molecular characterization of L. redmanii in cultured A. regius in Egypt.

Published: April 2020

In recent years, novel products from out–of–use A356 alloy engine components are increasingly produced for the automobile industries. Despite being a promising method the sand casting of these products reveals an inadequately understood cast geometry phenomenon for the process. At present, there is no technical solution to the optimisation of cast geometries for A356 alloy reconfigured into composites through organic matter reinforcements. This paper models and analyse sand casting process product geometries in a two–phase method. It utilises the response surface methodology with data on inputs and outputs to create the regression. Volume and density of the first casting process and the weight loss were evaluated for the various groupings of casting process variables, including length, weight, height, width of product for the first casting, weight, length, breadth of the product for the second casting, and the total weight of organic materials. The input and output associations were established in two models of regression analysis representing the central composite design, CCD. The influences of the cast geometrical variables on the evaluated responses were analysed. Furthermore, the predictive accuracy of the two regression models was evaluated. Results revealed that the applied CCD and the regression models reveals statistical adequacy and are competent to predict accurately.
Gemological Characteristics and Origin of the Zhanguohong Agate from Beipiao, Liaoning Province, China: A Combined Microscopic, X-ray Diffraction, and Raman Spectroscopic Study
Authors: Zhang Xuemei , Ji Lei , He Xuemei
Published: April 2020

The Zhanguohong agate from Beipiao (Liaoning province, China), which occurs in the intermediate–felsic volcanic breccias of the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation, generally shows massive and banded structures, with red, yellow, and/or white layers or zones. Little research has been done on its mineralogical and gemological characteristics or its genesis. In this study, we present petrographic and spectroscopic constraints on the mineral composition and micro-texture of the silica matrix, as well as the ferruginous inclusions within the agates, in order to deduce the origin of the Zhanguohong agate. According to the microscopic observations, sandwich-like interlayered micro-granular quartz, fibrous chalcedony, and jigsaw quartz bands are common in the banded agates. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopic analyses revealed that all of the samples were mainly composed of α-quartz and moganite, with minor hematite and goethite. The moganite content (17–54 wt%) of the silica matrix decreases by varying degrees from the outermost to the innermost part of the banded agates. The crystal defects and ferric iron in the microcrystalline silica grains probably contributed to the moganite crystallization. The red, yellow, and orange zones are rich in hematite, goethite, and their mixtures, respectively. The ore-forming fluids fluctuated between acidic and alkaline within a temperature range of 100–200 °C and at a sustained positive Eh. Combined with the field observations, these results suggest that the multiperiod precipitation of the agates probably resulted from the episodic volcanic activity during the Early Cretaceous lithospheric extension in eastern China.

A novel method for one-step preparation of antifouling ultrafiltration membranes via a non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) technique is proposed. It involves using aqueous 0.05–0.3 wt.% solutions of cationic polyelectrolyte based on a copolymer of acrylamide and 2-acryloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride (Praestol 859) as a coagulant in NIPS. A systematic study of the effect of the cationic polyelectrolyte addition to the coagulant on the structure, performance and antifouling stability of polysulfone membranes was carried out. The methods for membrane characterization involved scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), contact angle and zeta-potential measurements and evaluation of the permeability, rejection and antifouling performance in human serum albumin solution and surface water ultrafiltration. It was revealed that in the presence of cationic polyelectrolyte in the coagulation bath, its concentration has a major influence on the rate of “solvent–non-solvent” exchange and thus also on the rate of phase separation which significantly affects membrane structure. The immobilization of cationic polyelectrolyte macromolecules into the selective layer was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. It was revealed that polyelectrolyte macromolecules predominately immobilize on the surface of the selective layer and not on the bottom layer. Membrane modification was found to improve the hydrophilicity of the selective layer, to increase surface roughness and to change zeta-potential which yields the substantial improvement of membrane antifouling stability toward natural organic matter and human serum albumin.
Determinants of Environmental Perceptions and Attitudes in a Socio-Demographically Diverse Urban Setup: The Case of Gauteng Province, South Africa

Published: April 2020

In environment-nature discourse, determinants of environmental perceptions and attitudes vary significantly making it difficult to draw generalisations on their significance for particular locales. In this paper, we explore the key socio-demographic factors affecting environmental perceptions and attitudes for a socio-economically diverse area of Gauteng province, South Africa, using a generalised ordered logit model (gologit) approach. Personal level variables like gender, education level, employment status, age, population group, migration status and external variables such as dwelling type and electricity availability, obtained through a questionnaire, were assessed as determinants of environmental perceptions and attitudes. Statistical results indicated that dwelling type, gender, education level, place of birth and employment status were strong determinants of environmental attitudes. Population group (Coloured and White), dwelling type, electricity availability, employment status and education level (from primary only up to matric) were found to be significant predictors of environmental perceptions. Education level, dwelling type and employment status were therefore the common explanatory variables from the analysis, giving prominence to material values that people attach to environmental attitudes and perceptions. Age had no influence on both environmental perceptions and attitudes. The results from this article can provide a foundation for segmentation of anthropocentric factors for environmental planning and strategy formulation within the province.
The SARS-CoV-2 Exerts a Distinctive Strategy for Interacting with the ACE2 Human Receptor
Authors: Brielle Esther S. , Schneidman-Duhovny Dina , Linial Michal
Published: April 2020

The COVID-19 disease has plagued over 200 countries with over three million cases and has resulted in over 200,000 deaths within 3 months. To gain insight into the high infection rate of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, we compare the interaction between the human ACE2 receptor and the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with that of other pathogenic coronaviruses using molecular dynamics simulations. SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and HCoV-NL63 recognize ACE2 as the natural receptor but present a distinct binding interface to ACE2 and a different network of residue–residue contacts. SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 have comparable binding affinities achieved by balancing energetics and dynamics. The SARS-CoV-2–ACE2 complex contains a higher number of contacts, a larger interface area, and decreased interface residue fluctuations relative to the SARS-CoV–ACE2 complex. These findings expose an exceptional evolutionary exploration exerted by coronaviruses toward host recognition. We postulate that the versatility of cell receptor binding strategies has immediate implications for therapeutic strategies.
Towards a full body narrative: a communicational approach to techno-interactions in virtual reality
Authors: Zilles Borba Eduardo
Published: April 2020

The essay approaches the sociocultural and technological issues linked to the communicational process that exists in the user’s relationship with immersive digital environments, specifically: Virtual Reality (VR). A critical look at VR as a communication interface is launched, precisely because it indicates assumptions of enhancing the creation of meanings on media surfaces by leveraging multisensory stimuli that cause the immersion of individual’s body in a 360° framed experience. To instigate the problematization about transformations resulting from these techno-experience, empirical explorations are conducted to Brazilian immersive environments. In addition, data are qualitatively analyzed based on Kerckhove, Gumbrecht and Flusser and others ideas to illuminate the debate of technical-images, digital narratives and appropriations on technological devices, media languages and coding in the digital age.
Digital India-Communication Policy, Issues and Challenges
Authors: Bharthur Sanjay
Published: April 2020

Erstwhile faith and belief in media and its potential for development spurred the growth of broadcasting to its present level in India. The arrival of printing press in the early phase of European colonialization subsequently lead to print journalism that is now more than 240 years old. Its sustained growth and coexistence with the new media in digital India is contrary to developments in many other nations where erstwhile print journalism is giving way to convergent media.  Reforms in the telecom sector and corresponding institutional arrangements have led to the formulation of an ambitious digital India programme.  This programme focusses more on enhancing the access and  equity to the rural population. The nebulous distinction between legacy media and social media has raised several issues including governance, production and consumption of content and delivery of welfare services including financial inclusion. These challenges are sought to be addressed through the digital infrastructure. Solving contemporary problems within the fragile and vulnerable social structure are daunting including the challenges posed by user generated content. The frequency of internet shutdowns across the country including conflict zones has increased.  A key economic and commercial variable in Digital India is the  media and entertainment (M&E)  industry that has  taken  full advantage of infrastructure b evolving newer revenue models in  the  over the top (OTT) platforms  and smart devices. India’s communication policy in a digital context will be examined as a national case study by drawing parallels where possible with one or two other BRICS nations.
