Authors: Manzoor Rabia , Maken Abbas Murtaza , Ahmed Vaqar , Javed Asif
Published: September 2019

This paper focuses on the predicament of transport connectivity in Pakistan in its own domestic context and with regards to South Asian and Central Asian regions. It appraises the impact of the derelict transport infrastructure within Pakistan on the ease of transit and the movement of goods and services. Through engagement with various stakeholders, particularly those employed in the various Transportation Ministers, we seek to conduct an appraisal of the efficacy of transportation modes in the country. Furthermore, an extensive review was conducted in order to accurately gauge and assess the current obstacles being faced in this arena and the plausible reforms which can be pursued. Pakistan’s socio-economic growth and development is heavily contingent on the refurbishment and expansion of its road, railways, aviation and naval networks. Moreover, an efficient transportation network, though, allowing for seamless transit trade would magnify Pakistan’s role in the immediate region and the entire world.

Published: September 2019

The inseparable linkage between reading and writing has gained a crucial emphasis on language learning.  It has been regarded as a constructive issue for the improvement in teaching English skills. However, little attention is given to the underlying relationship between students’ motivation in reading and their achievement in writing.  This current research aimed at the correlation between students' reading motivation and their writing achievement across gender. It involved 50 third-year EFL students enrolled essay writing course divided into two classes in the ELT department. The quantitative data were collected through the use of the questionnaire on motivation in reading. Correlation analysis completed using Pearson product-moment revealed that the students' motivation in reading significantly positive influences their writing scores. It described that changes in students' reading motivation are a very weak correlation with the changes in their writing score. Another finding demonstrated that female and male students’ reading motivation and their writing achievement are significantly different. It signified that the differences correlation coefficient of both male and female students. Finding teaching implication is one of the areas that future researchers are suggested to investigate. Regarding the research findings, it indicates that there are more extensive areas offered for further studies in the relationship between reading and writing.
HOTS in teacher classroom interaction: A case study
Authors: Yulia Yuyun , Budiharti Fenita Rizki
Published: September 2019

As Goronga (2013) notes that classroom interaction encourages students to actively participate in teaching learning process. Teacher question plays an important role to trigger students' critical thinking or Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). This paper highlights questions revealed in teaching learning process that triggering students' critical thinking. Class observation and interview is conducted and then analyzed based on Bloom’s taxonomy. Data eventually show that remembering is mostly uttered to stimulate the students to state what they know about the topic and recall particular information. This means teachers find difficulties to practice questions with HOTS aspects. Teachers need to have more practice on how to encourage students to have critical thinking as one of skills in this disruptive era.
Representation of authors’ worldview in selected poems of Mabala, Summons: poems from Tanzania (A genetic structuralism analysis)
Authors: Mihayo Astelia , Manuaba Ida Bagus Putera
Published: September 2019

This paper examines the worldview of Tanzanian poetry in English. It focuses on selected poems of Mabala (1980) entitled Summons: Poems from Tanzania. The study places the poems under Lucien Goldmann’s genetic structuralism approach and argues against the historical context and discourse of Tanzania between 1960s and 1980’s. Specifically, the study analyses the author’s social and historical conditions influenced the production of the Summons poetry and showcases how the author’s worldview in particular poems in general are creatively explored in the social realities. The exploration of worldview in selected poems congruence the social and historical realities and the Socialism ideology [society’s worldview or global structure]. In other words, the exploration of the worldview in the selected poems confirms the homology of the global structure. The poems construct the ideal values of socialist state that seemed relevant in the post-independence Tanzania. They, in one or another provide the historical account for the building of Socialism ideology. They are about and against the ideology which confuse the vision people have of themselves and of their lives and the friction that failed the implementation of Socialism ideology. The study appropriates dialectic method to achieve the coherence of meaning of the text as a whole (poem structure and global structure).
Feminism thoughts in 20th and 21st century literary works: A comparative study
Authors: Hambur Fransiska Marsela , Nurhayati Nurhayati
Published: September 2019

One of most arguable and observable social phenomena is gender inequality which is based on feminism thoughts. Considering how literature may portray human’s life along with its values, this study is purposed to elaborate and compare how feminism thoughts and gender inequality take place in various literary works. Based on the importance of feminism thoughts and gender inequality in cross cultural literature, then there is a necessity to conduct a comparative literature study which focused on feminism thoughts. This study took four kinds of literary works, namely drama, prose (short-story), movie, and poetry. Feminism approach as sociological approach was applied in this study altogether with comparative criticism and content analysis method. This study discussed how feminism thoughts got more supports and encouragement as the century progressed. By comparing literary works from 20th and 21st century, several important findings can be drawn, namely (a) feminism thoughts are getting stronger along with the progression of century, (b) feminism thoughts always oppose gender inequality as both are always found as binary oppositions in literary work, (c) both feminism and gender-inequality live through human’s values and repetitive actions, (d) personal and familial values are crucial in order to develop feminism thoughts and gender-inequality in an individual, and (e) the change of values, especially social and cultural values can bring changes in both feminism and gender inequality phenomena.
Religious cultural Arts in mentality system of Javanese society: A critical analysis to the dynamics of ‘Keris’ development as a religious archaelogy
Authors: Aji Mpu Tabah Chalifatah , Suryani Nunuk , Musadad Akhmad Arif
Published: September 2019

Religion in a contextual meaning as a social practice contributes to the formation of religious cultural arts as well as religious archaeology. This research context discusses about ‘Keris’ as a form of religious cultural ideas and a full comprehension of the supernatural power outside the human himself (religiousness value). This research becomes significant to do since in the middle of global extremism lifting up again ‘Keris’ as a part of networking collective as a Javanese wisdom of life. Moreover  the implication is that the religious philosophical value which is applied universally and symbolized in ‘Keris’ archaeology is able to lead to the realization of cultural identity which tightens nationalism in heterogeneity not homogeneity, creates awareness of the preservation of the religious archaeology as a form of religious cultural ideas. This research uses an ethnography qualitative research supported by interviews along with Talcon Parson’s the theory of Societies. It located in Solo, Jawa Tengah.  The result of the study also shows that the dynamics of ‘Keris’ development genealogically is not only as a part of self-identity of Javanese society (invulnerability symbol). Kris in this case is also related to the society’s mentality system which is close to the philosophical value of religiousness which is fully comprehended as ethics and wisdom of life.
Centering Children in Mathematics Education Classroom Research
Authors: Parks Amy Noelle
Published: September 2019

Drawing on a 3-year interpretive study that followed a cohort of children from prekindergarten to Grade 1, this article presents results of a multiple case study, which demonstrated that although two children had the same teachers, classmates, and curricula over 3 years, their experiences in the three successive mathematics classrooms were quite different from each other (although consistent for each child). The two focal children did not have equitable access to their teachers’ pedagogical moves, and this lack of access was easy to overlook in transcripts of whole-class discussions. The study suggests that more research needs to represent mathematics lessons from the perspectives of children and youth, particularly those students who engage with teachers infrequently or in atypical ways.
Aerocapture Performance Analysis for a Neptune Mission Using a Heritage Blunt-Body Aeroshell
Authors: Girija Athul Pradeepkumar
Published: September 2019

The large navigation and atmospheric uncertainties at Neptune have historically driven the need for a mid-lift-to-drag L/D vehicle with L/D of 0.6--0.8. All planetary entry vehicles flown to date are low-L/D blunt-body aeroshells with L/D less than 0.4. The lack of a heritage mid-L/D aeroshell presents a long pole for Neptune aerocapture, as the development and testing of a new entry vehicle incurs significant cost, risk, and time. Techniques which may allow Neptune aerocapture to be performed using heritage low-L/D blunt-body aeroshells are investigated, and obviate the need for mid-L/D aeroshells. A navigation study is performed to quantify the delivery errors, and a new guidance algorithm with on-board density estimation is developed to accommodate atmospheric uncertainties. Monte Carlo simulation is used to analyze aerocapture performance of a vehicle with L/D = 0.4. One hundred percent of the cases captured successfully and show a 99.87% probability of achieving the desired science orbit with a total of 396 m/s propulsive Delta V budget, even with worst-case atmospheric uncertainties.

Indices of Effect Existence and Significance in the Bayesian Framework
Authors: Makowski Dominique , Ben-Shachar Mattan S. , Chen SH Annabel , Lüdecke Daniel
Published: September 2019

Turmoil has engulfed psychological science. Causes and consequences of the reproducibility crisis are in dispute. With the hope of addressing some of its aspects, Bayesian methods are gaining increasing attention in psychological science. Some of their advantages, as opposed to the frequentist framework, are the ability to describe parameters in probabilistic terms and explicitly incorporate prior knowledge about them into the model. These issues are crucial in particular regarding the current debate about statistical significance. Bayesian methods are not necessarily the only remedy against incorrect interpretations or wrong conclusions, but there is an increasing agreement that they are one of the keys to avoid such fallacies. Nevertheless, its flexible nature is its power and weakness, for there is no agreement about what indices of “significance” should be computed or reported. This lack of a consensual index or guidelines, such as the frequentist p-value, further contributes to the unnecessary opacity that many non-familiar readers perceive in Bayesian statistics. Thus, this study describes and compares several Bayesian indices, provide intuitive visual representation of their “behavior” in relationship with common sources of variance such as sample size, magnitude of effects and also frequentist significance. The results contribute to the development of an intuitive understanding of the values that researchers report, allowing to draw sensible recommendations for Bayesian statistics description, critical for the standardization of scientific reporting.
Decision-making inflexibility in a reversal learning task is associated with severity of problem gambling symptoms but not with a diagnosis of substance use disorder
Authors: Jara-Rizzo Maria Fernanda , Navas Juan F. , Rodas Jose A. , Perales José C.
Published: September 2019

Background: Decisions made by individuals with disordered gambling are markedly inflexible. However, whether anomalies in learning from feedback are gambling-specific, or extend beyond gambling contexts, remains an open question. More generally, addictive disorders –including gambling disorder– have been proposed to be facilitated by individual differences in feedback-driven decision-making inflexibility, which has been studied in the lab with the Probabilistic Reversal Learning Task (PRLT). In this task, participants are first asked to learn which of two choice options is more advantageous, on the basis of trial-by-trial feedback, but, once preferences are established, reward contingencies are reversed, so that the advantageous option becomes disadvantageous and vice versa. Inflexibility is revealed by a less effective reacquisition of preferences after reversal, which can be distinguished from more generalized learning deficits.Methods: In the present study, we compared PRLT performance across two groups of 25 treatment-seeking patients diagnosed with an addictive disorder and who reported gambling problems, and 25 matched controls [18 Males/7 Females in both groups, Mage(SDage) = 25.24 (8.42) and 24.96 (7.90), for patients and controls, respectively]. Beyond testing for differences in the shape of PRLT learning curves across groups, the specific effect of problematic gambling symptoms’ severity was also assessed independently of group assignment. In order to surpass previous methodological problems, full acquisition and reacquisition curves were fitted using generalized mixed-effect models. Results: Results showed that (1) controls did not significantly differ from patients in global PRLT performance nor showed specific signs of decision-making inflexibility; and (2) regardless of whether group affiliation was controlled for or not, gambling severity was specifically associated with more inefficient learning in phases with reversed contingencies. Conclusion: Decision-making inflexibility, as revealed by difficulty to reacquire decisional preferences based on feedback after contingency reversals, seems to be associated with gambling problems, but not necessarily with a substance-use disorder diagnosis. This result aligns with gambling disorder models in which domain-general compulsivity is linked to vulnerability to develop gambling-specific problems with exposure to gambling opportunities.

Published: September 2019

This article reports on a complete left human humerus from the Cussac Cave (Dordogne, France), dating to the Gravettian, or Mid-Upper Palaeolithic. This humerus is characterised by a very marked retroversion, significant intracortical porosity, an unusual morphology and orientation of the medial epicondyle, and a marked depression at the bottom of the olecranon fossa. These morphological features could be related to mechanical stimuli, but this is just an assumption given the absence of control data for many factors (e.g. age-at-death, sex, body mass, degree of asymmetry). Nevertheless, the description of this new discovery contributes significantly to our understanding of the range of variation of known Late Pleistocene skeletal morphology.

Published: September 2019

Background: Identification of indigenous medicinal plants, including the gathering of information regarding the uses of these plants can help find out their traditional pharmacological activities and their benefits for the community’s healthcare system. In this study, an ethnobotanical investigation was conducted in Shahrekord city, southwest of Iran to indicate the ethnobotanical knowledge about analgesic medicinal plants in the region and the methods of using them. Materials and Methods: To this end, plant antioxidants and analgesic medicinal plants were identified. For this purpose, a questionnaire was used to obtain indigenous knowledge from traditional therapists in Shahrekord regarding pain relief using medicinal plants. This ethnobotanical study was conducted in 2018 with the participation of 29 traditional therapists of the region under purpose. Finally, the data drawn from the questionnaires were analyzed using the Excel software. The frequency of plants use was also calculated. Results: Our study showed that in Shahrekord, 23 species of medicinal plants are used to relieve pain. The highest frequency of use was obtained for Eugenia caryophylata (44%), followed by Alhagi maurorum (31%), Tribulus terrestris (27%), and angustifolia (24%). The Laminaceae family (7 species) was the most frequently used plant family for pain relief. The most frequently used plant organ to relieve the pain was flower (25%), followed by the stem (22%) and leaves (19%). Conclusion: Given the high importance of medicinal plants in Shahrekord, the results of this study and additional scientific investigations can help produce more effective and less harmful drugs from medicinal plants.

Properties of the frequency spectra of the temperature anomalies of ocean surface and near-surface air in a simple stochastic climate model with fluctuating parameters
Authors: Petrov D. A.
Published: September 2019

The frequency properties of the ocean surface temperature anomalies (SST) and near-surface air (SAT) spectra are analyzed on the basis of a simple energy balance model of the climate, taking into account the fluctuations of the radiation balance, the latent and sensible heat flux and the velocity of the near-surface wind in two particular cases when the statistical properties of the model parameters are the white noise (small-scale-mesoscale subintervals) and the combined case when the properties of the synoptic subinterval of this parameters are taken into account in the SAT block. It was found that in the first case, the spectra have no features, and in the second they contain selected frequencies in the synoptic and low- frequency intervals. The dependent of their frequencies on model parameters are analyzed. The properties of standard deviations of SST and SAT are investigated.

Published: September 2019

In the article the comparison of time series of integrated water vapor (IWV) for 2015-2017 at 8 pair stations of GNSS and solar photometers of AERONET network in Europe is carried out. The distance between pairs of stations didn’t exceed 20 km. It is shown that bias and standard deviations of divergences have the seasonal course. In the winter GNSS-photometer bias was from –0.61 to 0.34 mm. In the summer the GNSS overestimates IWV relative to photometers by values from 0.52 to 2.26 mm. The standard deviation is maximal in summer and is from 1.31 to 1.64 mm, in winter it decreases to 0.49-0.86 mm that is 5-6% of IWV.
Subpollen particles as atmospheric cloud condensation nuclei
Authors: Mikhailov E. F. , Ivanova O. A. , Nebosko E. Yu. , Vlasenko S. S. , Ryshkevich T. I.
Published: September 2019

Bioparticles represent a significant fraction of the total atmospheric aerosol. Their size range varies from nanometers (macromolecules) to hundreds of micrometers (plant pollen, vegetation residues) and like other atmospheric aerosol particles, the degree of involvement of bioaerosols in atmospheric processes largely de- pends on their hygroscopic and cloud condensation nuclei properties. In this paper the ability of the pine, birch and rape subpollen particles to act as cloud condensation nuclei are considered. Submicron particles were obtained by aqueous extraction of biological material from pollen grains and subsequent solidification of the atomized liquid droplets. The parameters of cloud activation are determined in the size range of 20-270 nm in the range of water vapor supersaturations 0.1-1.1%. Based on experimental results, the hygroscopicity parameter, characterizing the effect of the chemical composition of the subparticles on their con- densation properties, is determined. The range of the hygroscopic parameter changes was 0.12-0.13. In general, the results of measurements showed that the condensation activity of the subpollen particles is comparable with the condensation activity of secondary organic aerosols and weakly depends on the type of the primary pollen.
Distribution, fluxes and balance of particulate organic carbon in the Arctic ocean
Authors: Vetrov A. A. , Romankevich E. A.
Published: September 2019

Particulate organic carbon (POC) is one of main component of carbon cycle in the Ocean. In this study an attempt to construct a picture of the distribution and fluxes of POC in the Arctic Ocean adjusting for interchange with the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans has been made. The specificity of this construction is associated with an irregular distribution of POC measurements and complicated structure and hydrodynamics of the waters masses. To overcome these difficulties, Multiple Linear Regression technic (MLR) was performed to test the significant relation between POC, temperature, salinity, as well depth, horizon, latitude and offshore distance. The mapping of POC distribution and its fluxes was carrying out at 38 horizons from 5 to 4150 m (resolution 1°×1°). Data on temperature, salinity, meridional and zonal components of current velocities were obtained from ORA S4 database (Integrated Climate Data Center, http://icdc.cen.uni-hamburg.de/las). The import-export of POC between the Arctic, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans as well as between Arctic Seas was precomputed by summer fluxes. The import of POC in the Arctic Ocean is estimated to be 38±8Tg Cyr-1, and the export is -9.5±4.4Tg Cyr-1.

A diamagnetic-airflow hybrid levitation structure
Authors: Gong Qi , Zhang Weiwei , Su Yufeng , Zhang Kun
Published: September 2019

In this paper, a diamagnetic-airflow hybrid levitation structure is reported, with a floating magnet rotor stably levitated above a diamagnetic disc just using a lifting magnet and airflow. Compared with the typical diamagnetically stabilized structure, the rotation speed of the rotor is increased from 9570 rpm to 16666 rpm, and the levitation gap is increased from 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm when the airflow rate exceeds 2198 sccm under standard temperature and pressure (STP). At the same time, the rotor can be stably levitated at any height from 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm by adjusting the vertical position of the nozzles. With the hybrid levitation structure, it’s possible to overcome the structural limitation of typical diamagnetically stabilized levitation structure and enhance the working performance of the rotor. This levitation structure is expected to be applied to sensing, energy harvesting and air bearing under actuation of airflow.

Melalui pembacaan hermeneutika Gadamer, sikap terbaik untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang komprehensif adalah pertama, kemauan terbuka untuk menerima gagasan dan wawasan baru. Hal ini penting untuk memperluas cakrawala seseorang sehingga ia dapat menjangkau hal-hal yang lebih luas lagi. Kedua, menghasilkan pemahaman baru atau memproduksi sesuatu yang baru. Meski demikian, perlu digarisbawahi bahwa kebaruan gagasan tidak dapat diperoleh tanpa memahami sejarah masa lampau. Ketiga, pemahaman yang efektif bukanlah pemahaman yang berdiri sendiri, justru pemahaman yang valid adalah pemahaman yang bersumber dan ditopang dari horizon-horizon yang beragam. Semakin luas horizon, semakin luas pula pemahamannya. Keempat, semangat fusion of horizon dapat dikembangkan dalam konteks memahami Alquran dengan menggunakan tafsir maqasid Alquran, sehingga nilai-nilai Alquran dapat selaras dengan waktu dan tempat, shalih li kulli zaman wa makan.

浅谈小学语文课堂落实核心素养的路径与方法
Authors: 杨 和娅
Published: September 2019

《教育部关于全面深化课程改革落实立德树人根本任务的意见》中指出：“要把研究制订学生发展核心素养体系和学业质量标准,作为当前课程改革着力推进的关键领域和主要环节。”语文学科的核心素养包括：语言的建构与运用；思维的发展与提升；审美的鉴赏与创造；文化的传承与理解。而纵观当下语文课堂的学习现状,虽然从“师本课堂”向“生本课堂”的过渡是一个跨越,但相比过去的死记硬背、机械训练的学习方式,自主、合作、探究等学习方式的改变仅仅是学生记忆知识的愉悦程度发生了改变,并没有体现出新型学习方式所强调的自主学习能力、合作学习意识、科学探究精神的培养,这也就说明学科核心素养的培养更多是流于形式,并未真实落地。鉴于此,在新课改提出的三维目标还未完全消化的前提下,学科核心素养如何在课堂落地成为一项艰巨的任务。也正是基于这样的情势,我们对语文课堂落实核心素养有了如下的实践与探索。

Background: The mangrove bark extract (Rhizophora apiculata) is known to have the ability to inhibit the formation of free radicals, act as antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory.  

Objective: This study was attempted to investigate the potency of Rhizophora apiculata bark extracts as an antioxidant to protect rat testes from the damage due to cigarette smoke exposure. 

Methods: An experimental study using a posttest-only control group design was employed. Samples consisted of 25 male rats divided into 5 groups, namely K (-) not treated, K (+) exposed to cigarette smoke without the administration of mangrove bark extract, groups P1, P2, and P3 were exposed to cigarette smoke and each group received a dose of Rhizophora apiculata bark extracts every day for 30 days. Furthermore, P1 obtained 28.275 mg/KgBW, P2 was about 56.55 mg/kgBW, and P3 got 113.10 mg/kgBW.

Results: Analysis using One Way ANOVA showed that there were significant effects of administration of extracts on the average number of primary spermatocytes and the thickness of the seminiferous tubules in the rats that have been exposed to cigarette smoke when compared to controls. The dose of extract that has the best effect was 113.10 mg/kgBW.

Conclusion: Rhizophora apiculata bark extract is indicated to have a protective effect that can prevent damage in rats testes exposed to cigarette smoke.
