Published: November 2019

This study aimed to determine the effect of using natural masks to moisturize dry skin. This natural mask was made of ingredients that are safe to use and based on special formulations which include; bengkoang powder (2 grams), chocolate powder (1 gram), black cumin oil (0.6 ml), and honey (5 ml). This formulation was made so that the resultied mask formed paste stucture that can be directly applied. Masks were given to ten probandal women who have dry skin types and are 30-40 years old. Masks were used twice / week for six weeks (12 times usage). The instrument used to measure the moisture level of facial skin was a skin analyzer (HL-611) by directly attaching it to the face area and the results can be seen after 4-5 seconds. The data were analysed using ANOVA test 95% confidence interval and significance test using SPSS 15 for windows. The results showed that skin moisture values increased around 3.9% within 6 weeks of use, with a 0.8% increase at week 2, at week 4 there was an increase of 1.65% and at week 6 there was an increase in skin moisture by 1.4%. The moisture value of the skin on the face area (forehead, nose, chin, cheeks) showed no significant difference with almost the same value of humidity. It is recommended for dry skin types to use a face mask that contains oil as a skin lubricant and to protect water evaporation from the skin. It is necessary to do further testing on this natural mask so that safety on the skin can be guaranteed. It needs to be done so that the final product obtained meets the face mask safety quality standards set by the government.

Muslim communities in Southern Thailand have experienced in discrimination among in economic, social, and politics. This condition has even occurred in the last seven decades under King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who was known   to be wise king. Basically, King Bhumibol as the head of state always stated that social welfare approace is the best way to solve the problem, but almost every Thai Prime Minister as the head of government unfortunately always uses a militaristic approach that triggers social resistance. Since King Bhumibol died, Thailand has faced with the potential crisis for two reasons. First, Maha Vajiralongkorn as a successor, he is considered have different charisma with his father because he is very glamorous and have controversial lifestyle. Secondly, the absence of King Bhumibol, who has been a counterweight to the state made the Thai military more often coups. This conditions give impact to Muslim communities in the South who always live with uncertainty condition with two possibilities. First, Muslim communities have a better life under the new monarchy regime with social welfare and humanity approaches. Secondly, the condition of the Muslim communities will remains stagnant under the controversial king with continued by martial law.

The purpose of choosing this study is to examine Indonesia's vision as a world maritime axis. This vision is very important because it is nominated by President Joko Widodo in the speech on the official opening of the 2018 Our Ocean Conference (OCC) event in Nusa Dua, Bali, Monday (10/29/2018). This vision is becoming more important since Indonesia still encountered by maritime problems, such as security and financial issues, which are suspected to be attaching that vision. This study is using heuristic and eclectic methods. This is a descriptive qualitative philosophical study that will be centered on the President's speech and the reporting of national newspapers on maritime issues, which have the opportunity to raise nation and state ethical issues.

Authors: Anderson Grant P.S. , Rawlings Mitchell , Lunniss Zoe , McNaughton Lorna , Rossi Laura , Wims Cathal , Roach Chris , Ludemann Cameron I.
Published: November 2019

Pasture biomass estimates are valuable to farmers, and satellite pasture biomass estimates can potentially provide the required data for less time and labour. However, the accuracy of satellite estimates of pasture biomass can be affected by the botanical composition of the pasture. In this study, botanical composition data were combined in linear regression models and a general additive model with on-farm and satellite pasture biomass estimates to quantify the increase in predictive power from including botanical composition data. The inclusion of botanical composition data improved the accuracy (model R2) of the satellite pasture biomass estimation; the smallest increase was 0.035 (from 0.725 to 0.760) and the largest increase was 0.111 (from 0.599 to 0.710). Improving the accuracy of satellite estimations of pasture biomass will allow farmers to make more timely and accurate grazing management decisions.
A paddock survey of on-farm plantain use
Authors: Dodd Michael B. , Moss Ray A. , Pinxterhuis Ina J.B.
Published: November 2019

The use of narrow-leaved plantain (Plantago lanceolata) in pasture sowing mixtures has recently increased following research demonstrating the value of the â€˜Tonicâ€™ cultivar in reducing cattle urinary N concentration, with likely benefits for reducing N leaching from pasture systems. The purpose of this study was to document the ways in which farmers are using plantain, investigate the factors that enhance successful establishment and persistence, and to test a method of visual estimation of plantain content in paddocks. This information will support verification of animal intake, given that there is evidence that a critical level of plantain is required in the diet to achieve significant effects on N cycling. In grass-based pastures, plantain content declined with age since sowing and few paddocks had more than 20% of their available dry matter as plantain after three years. A systematic visual assessment of plantain cover correlated well with a formal visual dry matter assessment and could be used to establish when plantain content at a paddock scale is  >20â€“30%. Plantain content tended to be highest when sown without grass, when established by direct drilling and on clay soils, but optimal sowing rates have yet to be determined.
Scaling issues in the interpretation of dry matter yield differences among perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) cultivars
Authors: Chapman David F. , Cosgrove Gerald P. , Kuhn-Sherlock Barbara , Stevens David R. , Lee Julia M. , Rossi Laura
Published: November 2019

Perennial ryegrass breeding is estimated to be delivering rates of genetic gain in dry matter (DM) yield of 50â€“60 kg DM/ha per year of breeding effort. These estimates are based on DM yield data from tightly managed small-plot trials which are not necessarily representative of typical farm management. To assess the possible realised (on-farm) DMY gains from breeding, seasonal DMY data were collected contemporaneously at two â€˜scalesâ€™ of evaluation for eight perennial ryegrass cultivars over a total of 14 seasons (comprising 5 â€˜seasonsâ€™ in each of three years excluding the first winter) in each of four regions. The scales were denoted â€˜small plotâ€™ (SP, 10 m2, perennial ryegrass monocultures only) and â€˜large plotâ€™ (LP, 65â€“90 m2, subject to more intensive dairy cattle grazing and including all combinations of two nitrogen fertiliser rates with or without white clover as treatments). Relationships between DMY measured in SP versus LP were statistically significant (P<0.001) for all combinations of region, N fertiliser level and clover presence/absence, indicating good general agreement in cultivar performance trends. However, the slope of the relationship (range 0.492 to 1.171, mean 0.733) was significantly less than 1 in three-quarters of the region by treatment combinations. The slope was closely and inversely related to the size of the difference in total N supply between and SP (N from fertiliser only) and LP (where N was supplied as fertiliser at a lower rate but included biological fixation): the smaller the difference in N supply between the two â€˜scalesâ€™, the greater the slope. Estimated realised DMY differences between cultivar ranking positions on New Zealand dairy farms under future projected N fertiliser rates were in the range 0.7â€“0.8 of those predicted from the SP scale of evaluation.
A two-step procedure to identify lexical elements of stance constructions in discourse from political blogs
Authors: Simaki Vasiliki , Paradis Carita , Kerren Andreas
Published: November 2019

The Brexit Blog Corpus (bbc) is a collection of texts extracted from political blogs, which, in a recent study, was annotated according to a cognitive–functional stance framework by two independent annotators (Annotator A and B) using semantic criteria ( Simaki et al., 2017 ). The goal was to label the stance or stances taken based on the overall meaning of a set of utterances. The annotators were not instructed to identify the lexical forms that were used to express the stances. In this study, we make use of those stance-labelled utterances as a springboard to approach stance-taking in text from the opposite point of view, namely from how stance is realised through language. Our aim is to provide a description of the specific lexical elements used to express six stance categories (i.e., contrariety, hypotheticality, necessity, prediction, source of knowledge and uncertainty). To this end, we followed a two-step experimental procedure. First, we performed a quantitative analysis of the stance-labelled utterances in order to identify the lexical realisations of each stance category. Second, we carried out a meta-annotation of the data. Annotator B was instructed to single out the actual lexical forms of the constructions that triggered his semantic stance category decisions. This meta-annotation procedure made it possible for us to sift out the most salient lexical realisations of the constructions of each of the six category types on the basis of the qualitative assessments made by Annotator B. We then compared the results of the quantitative and the qualitative approaches, and we present a list of shared stance expressions for each stance category type.

We present the case of a 41 years old patient with poor social status and previous facial trauma with a sharp object (wood branch) 2 years ago. Although it was performed the extraction of the branch in a local ENT department, the patient developed a fistula in the left genian region with the presence of puss. Two months ago the patient undergoes another head trauma leading to neurosurgery. CT scan raises the suspicion of a foreign body in the left maxillary sinus. We performed left maxillary sinus surgery through Caldwell-Luc approach with extraction of the foreign body and closure of the fistula. Surgical healing was optimal within 10 days. We analyze the medico-legal implications of such cases.
Esophageal caustic stenosis – difficulties of therapeutic management

Published: November 2019

Esophageal stenosis is one of the most common sequels of caustic injury. After the ingestion, in the acute phase, the life support is sometimes critical, and the treatment varies from observation to esophagectomy. During the first 6 months, endoscopic dilation can be necessary in order to maintain the patency of the esophageal lumen.

Usually, endoscopic dilation is the treatment of choice for caustic stenosis of the esophagus. Sometimes this procedure is not possible or too risky and then reconstruction surgery is needed, but no earlier than 6 months.

We present the case of a 57 years old male who was referred to our clinic for the treatment of a mid-esophageal caustic stenosis, after the accidental ingestion of a concentrated alkaline substance 6 months before. After an initial successful endoscopic dilation, in the second attempt, due to the asymmetric position of the stenosis and the high risk of perforation, we decided to perform an esophageal by-pass. We chose to use the left colon for interposition, with the left branch of middle colic artery as the feeding source and the sigmoid trunk as the second arcade. The surgical procedure went uneventful, with restoration of normal oral feeding.

Published: November 2019

Inguinal hernia is one of the most common surgical pathologies, which appears mainly due to the weakening of the abdominal muscles. Currently, the gold standard in the repair of inguinal hernias by open approach is the Lichtenstein procedure, while the gold standard of laparo-endoscopic procedures are the pre-peritoneal transabdominal technique (TAPP) and the total extraperitoneal technique (TEP). The purpose of this study is to evaluate, for a period of 4 years, the cases of inguinal hernias operated both by laparoscopic and open procedures to analyze their characteristics, under the conditions in which none was imposed as absolute gold standard for groin hernias. The present study was retrospective and descriptive, including a number of 214 cases hospitalized with the diagnosis of inguinal hernia. In the surgery of the groin hernia, both laparoscopic and open procedures have demonstrated their feasibility. Our study shows the preference for open surgery in elderly patients and those with comorbidities, as well as a faster evolution, with earlier discharge in the case of laparoscopic interventions.

Published: November 2019

Field studies were carried out using electrotomography in the Sel’ungur cave (Kyrgyzstan) in 2017. In the course of this work, a question aroused about the reliability of the obtained data. A numerical experiment based on three-dimensional modeling was performed to assess the influence of the walls and ceiling of the cave on the results of a two-dimensional inversion using the half-space program. It has been established that in the case of diverging cave walls, their influence improves the result of inversion problem. So, the thickness of the loose sedimentary layer in the cave and the electrical resistivity of rocks are restored better than the inversion model of a two-layer half-space.

Published: November 2019

The object of this study is to conduct a semiotic analysis of two different websites’ advertising techniques: one that promotes sex toys by emphasizing their technological superiority, and another promoting technology products by employing content of a sexual nature to increase their appeal. By studying and comparing these approaches, useful conclusions can be drawn about the way digital tools utilize the concepts of sex and technology. Digital communication makes use of many different modes, and it is interesting to see both how these are employed to represent sex and technology in digital media. Results show that interactivity plays an important role in the experience and messages delivered by the websites, while sex and technology are presented as opposites and used in balance.
A reading on feminism on feminism and pornography through Jury Lotman's culture and explosion: Reflections
Authors: Afaf Mega
Published: November 2019

We endeavor through this research paper to read the feminist movements, in particular countries in order to understand its dynamics and at the same time to foresee its future directions. To achieve this, as an adequate tool, Juri Lotman’s Culture and Explosion (2009) provides us a model for reading the different dynamics within feminism, as a cultural text, as well as its interconnection to other sign systems within the same semiotic sphere. Thus we can understand the interconnection of feminism with politics and society, and with its plurality of discourses makes it in constant change and exposed to explosions which would change its course in the future. These explosions are displayed through the political acts which were passed in favour of the women as a result of the feminist dynamics. Besides, the feminist movement has the capacity to integrate into other movements and also can be transformed into other movements, and thus, new realities and discourses are created. Within this arena, among these realities is the anti-feminist pornography as opposed to pro-sex feminists. From our stand point, pornography, and especially that in the digital age, is the dark side of the feminist movement. Semiotically, in Lotman’s (2009) model, pornography is abnormal, sick or non-existent because it is different from the norm. In the light of this, we are able to expose different views about the harms of pornography both on women and even men.

The Cruel Pig of Extremadura : Francisco Pizarro’s Porcine Legend in the Spanish Golden Age
Authors: Har-Peled Misgav
Published: November 2019

Cet article analyse la légende de la naissance de Francisco Pizarro, qui fut racontée la première fois par Francisco Lopez de Gómara dans son Histoire générale de la conquête des Indes et la conquête du Mexique (1552), selon laquelle la nourrice de Pizarro était une truie et que lui-même avait été porcher dans sa jeunesse. Plutôt que de rechercher la réalité historique derrière la légende, comme l’ont fait certains historiens, j’explore la logique ou la raison d’être de la légende. En premier lieu, l’article analyse l’exemplum du nourrisson et de la truie ainsi que ses usages dans la littérature du Moyen Âge au XVIIe siècle. Dans un deuxième temps, il discute les références à cette légendes dans l’oeuvre d’auteurs tels que Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, Antonio de la Calancha, Cervantes et Tirso de Molina. Finalement, la signification de la légende dans le livre de Gómara est analysée à la lumière de son contexte et de l’usage du topos du nourrisson allaité par une truie. Cette analyse montre comment la légende porcine et les réactions qu’elle suscita mettent en évidence les tensions et les peurs générées par la menace à l’ordre social de l’Âge d’or espagnol que représentaient les parvenus.
Le vin et « les vrais rois ». Approche comparée du lien entre ivresse et transmission du pouvoir / Wine and “the True Kings”. A Comparative Approach to the Link between Drunkenness and Power Transmission
Authors: Bonnet Corinne
Published: November 2019

In various narratives from ancient Mesopotamia, Ugarit, or in the book of Genesis, drunkenness plays a decisive role in the transmission of power. Drunkenness thus facilitates the continuity of sovereignty between men and gods, or within a particular lineage important for the destiny of mankind. This narrative pattern is here analyzed from a comparative perspective, taking as a starting point Kantorowicz's theory of the King's two bodies, before extending our analysis to Bantu myths concerned with the origins and transmission of sacred kingship as studied by the anthropologist Luc de Heusch.

Published: November 2019

When planning orbital service operations, it is important to rationally divide a set of orbits serviced by a spacecraft into subsets (clusters) of orbits. This article proposes a technique for clustering the orbits of serviced spacecraft in the event of their servicing by a reusable service spacecraft with an electric rocket low thrust engine. The technique is based on the method of K ‑ means. As the distance between any pair of orbits of the serviced spacecraft (metrics) of the method K - means, it was proposed to use the delta-V of the orbital transition between these orbits.In this paper, a technique has been developed for clustering orbits of serviced spacecrafts. The method is based on the method K ‑ means. As a distance between any pair of orbits of the serviced spacecraft orbits (metrics) of the method K ‑ means it is proposed to use the energy metric delta - V of the interorbital transition between these orbits.

Using the proposed methodology, a computer program has been developed for clustering the orbits of serviced spacecraft. The results of the test calculations showed the effectiveness of the proposed clustering technique. The technique can be applied when planning orbital service operations.

Technical analysis is the study of the dynamics of the main market indicators by the availability of graphical methods in order to predict the future directions of their movement.The task of technical analysis to determine the current direction of the market.Most analysts use figures to characterize the lines of resistance, support, turn and the emergence of trends.The dynamic indicator MACD is classified as a trend - this parameter can be used to judge the ratio between a pair of sliding average prices. The indicator is constructed taking into account the difference between two EMAs with periods of 12 and 26 days. For more accurate drawing of the best places for a deal (sale or purchase), an additional (signal) line can be plotted from the MACD-Line with nine exponential average-forks from the MACD-Line with mandatory anti-aliasing (the default setting is 9).As a result of the work, the possibilities of using the MACD technical indicator were analyzed and the function for making decisions based on the logic of the advisor “buy or not” for the two exchanges of the Exmo and Poloniex cryptocurrencies was implemented programmatically.The use of MACD - indicator, as well as any other indicator, can sometimes be Su-Conducted by false signals. Therefore, for more successful trading in the stock and foreign exchange markets, it is best to use the MACD indicator in conjunction with other indices, the indicators of which will confirm the correctness of the chosen item.

Кремний, легированный изовалентной примесью германия (Si или SiGe в англоязычной научно-технической литературе), обладает рядом физико-технологических преимуществ с точки зрения обеспечения радиационной стойкости npn- и npnp-структур. Применение именно такого кремния весьма перспективно для силовой электроники, поскольку он способен вытеснить используемый в настоящее время кремний традиционного качества, легированный фосфоом (Si<Р>) за счёт своей большей термостабильности и радиационной стойкости, что положительно влияет на качество изготавливаемых на его основе приборов. Целью работы является моделирование в среде STATISTICA и MathCAD нелинейного накопления основных радиационных дефектов в кремнии и оценка возможности использования Gе как примеси, существенно замедляющей радиационную деградацию Si. Установлен процесс нелинейного накопления основных радиационных дефектов (А- и Е- центров) в кремнии, подвергаемом облучению α-частицами. Проведено моделирование этого процесса в среде STATISTICA и MathCAD. Показано, что легирование кремния германием до определённых концентраций позволяет существенно замедлить радиационную деградацию кремния и использовать такой материал для изготовления радиационностойких полупроводниковых приборов, в частности, многослойных структур высоковольтных силовых приборов общепромышленного и транспортного электропривода.

Барабанные питатели, которые применяются на агломерационных машинах для загрузки шихты на колосниковую решетку, не обеспечивают получение рациональной сегрегации шихты по высоте слоя. Попытки снизить негативное влияние полученной при этом сегрегации материала путем укладки на решетку агломерационных машин двух или больше слоев шихты не дали ожидаемых результатов. Вопрос достижения заданного распределения материала шихты по крупности по высоте слоя за счет управляемой сегрегации загружаемого материала по-прежнему является актуальной научной и практической задачей. Выполнен анализ эффективности известных методов и средств формирования слоя шихты при ее укладке на колосниковую решетку агломерационных машин. Показано, что одним из наиболее перспективных направлений формирования слоя шихты является управление процессом сегрегации гранулированной шихты по высоте слоя в зависимости от ее крупности и содержания в ней топлива. Одним из видов технологического оборудования для разделения шихты по фракционному составу могут быть линейные разделители. Реализация предложенных технологических схем с использованием линейных разделителей обеспечивает заданное распределение фракций гранулированной шихты по высоте слоя с постепенным ростом содержания топлива в верхних слоях шихты, что позволяет увеличить производительность агломерационных машин и улучшить качество выпускаемого агломерата.
ENERGY EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS FOR SMALL CAPACITY ELECTRIC ARC FURNACES OF A FOUNDRY CLASS
Authors: Timoshenko Sergey
Published: November 2019

The low specific power of the transformer in combination with the increased heat losses due to the geometrical factor and the unstable operation with long downtimes are predetermined by low technical and economic indicators of production, in comparison with the EAF of the "big" metallurgy. An urgent task is to search for low-cost methods to increase the energy efficiency of furnaces of this class by simulating the thermal work of the elements of the working space. Numerical simulation of heat transfer in the working space of foundry class AC EAF with a capacity of 3 tons has shown that with a duration of furnace downtime of 18–20 hours or more, replacing 40% of the walls lining and 16-20% of the roof lining by water cooled elements with a volumetric structure accumulating the skull, with using of “deep" bath with a reduced by 14–15% diameter of the radiating surface allows, at a given melting mass, to reach the energy consumption level of the furnace with a fully refractory lining and lower with a significant saving of refractories. Preloading scrap into the furnace in downtime increases energy efficiency, all other things being equal.

Published: November 2019

The current investigation deals with phytochemical screening and in vitro antiplasmodial activity of crude ethanol leaf extract and three fractions of crude ethanol leaf-extract of Nauclea diderrichii. Phytochemical test to screen bioactive compounds was carried out via standard protocols which uncovered the presence of alkaloids, saponins, steroids, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, glycosides and carbohydrates, extraction was done using absolute ethanol to afford the crude extract (Nd-ET) while maceration was done using solvents of different polarity gradient (petroleum ether, chloroform and ethyl acetate) to afford the remaining fractions (Nd-F1, Nd-F2 and Nd-F3). The antiplasmodial activity of the crude-extract and those of crude-extract-fractions against plasmodium falciparum unveil promising percentage elimination at all concentrations, with ethanol crude extract (Nd-ET) and ethyl acetate fraction (Nd-F3) having the highest, with 75.50% and 72.65% at 625µg/ml, and 87.83% and 86.33% at 5000µg/ml, respectively. These results clearly indicated that the active compounds present in the crude leaf extract/fractions of Nauclea diderrichii are highly potent eliminators of plasmodium falciparum and validate their popular usage in folk medicine in Gusau Local Government, Zamfara State, Nigeria, for the treatment of malaria.

Published: November 2019

In this paper, by using t-conorms, we define the concept of anti fuzzy equivalence relation and anti fuzzy congruence relation on ring R and we investigate some of their basic properties. Also we define fuzzy ideals of ring R under t-conorms and compare this with fuzzy equivalence relation and fuzzy congruence relation on ring R such that we define new introduced ring. Next we investigate this concept under homomorphism of new introduced ring.

Published: November 2019

This article presents part of the results of a comprehensive study, which is devoted to the analysis of PTS consequence due to serious disease "meningioma". The obtained results allowed verifying the hypothesis that should people get know their diagnosis of "meningioma", they have different life prospects. The specifics of life prospects associated with the basic beliefs such as self-belief, belief in luck, belief in control of the situation. When these indicators are reduced and life perspective presented such as physical recovery is an indicator of getting stuck in a psychotraumatic experience, then the desire such as radically change of lives indicates the avoidance of processing traumatic experience. High rates of these basic beliefs, combined with a strategy to return to the past, indicate the availability of internal resources.
