Nowadays almost all smelted steel is processed in "ladle-furnace" (LF), where the steel is processed under refining conditions and brought to the desired temperature and chemical composition. Therefore, large amounts of refining slag are formed. Only in Russia there is about 1.4 million tons of slag exported to dumps annually. This slag cannot be processed by the schemes implemented in the industry, since the slag quickly turns into the tiniest dust during solidification and cooling. Such dust is easily aerated and carried by the wind for long distances; it pollutes soils, dissolves in ground, sedimentary and sewage waters. It also pollutes slag dumps that are suitable for processing for crushed stone.

Published: September 2017

Fly ash, composed of mullite, hematite, amorphous silica and quartz, is a promising source for the recovery of alumina and silica. Desilication with help of NaOH and alkali fusion-leaching method and utilization of alumina and silica in the fly ash for preparation of sodalite and silica white were explored in this research. The samples were characterized by using wet chemical analysis and X-ray diffraction. The optimal extraction of SiO2 from Reftinskaya power plant fly ash was 46.2% with leaching at 95 oC for 3 h. Sodalite was synthesized at 200 °C for 1 h followed water leaching at 95 °C for 1 h. Silica white with specific surface area 180-220 m2/g was prepared by carbonation of the Na2SiO3 solution at 40 oC for 90-120 min. The as-prepared silica has a purity of 98,8%.

The proposed method is suitable for the comprehensive utilization of the fly ash.

Published: September 2017

The issue of operated-off alkaline nickel-cadmium batteries recycling is currently relevant due to a number of aspects: economic, environmental and social. It is most acute across the national corporation JSC Russian Railways. The article deals with some technological features of operated-off alkaline nickel-cadmium batteries recycling with valuable components being extracted (from the example of nickel-cadmium storage batteries of JSC ”RZD” rolling equipment). The results of leaching in Trilon B synthetic oxides solution, the presence of which is possible in the raw material being processed, are presented in the study. Based on the study of leaching processes of CdO, NiO, FeO, Femet and Fe2O3 in Trilon B solution, the dependence of complexing on the pH of the solution was revealed. The experimental site of the hydrometallurgical processing of the research center (OCGP IC) in the GMO KhMC PJSC ”Uralelectromed” was selected as the testing one for the technology proposed. As a raw material for the tests, a lot of negative lamellae packed in alkaline storage batteries of two different types were used. They were obtained as a result of preliminary drying and cutting at OOO Kursk factory ”Accumulator”. The particle size is 90% - 0.1 mm. The results obtained during the research allowed the author to formulate a hypothesis about the practical use of Trilon B for the processing of operated-off alkaline nickel-cadmium batteries with the extraction of valuable components having greater economic, environmental and social benefits compared to methods based on pyro metallurgy.
The rabbi and the psychoanalyst: Erich Fromm and Samson Raphael Hirsch – an unacknowledged debt
Authors: Seidler Meir
Published: September 2017

Erich Fromm (1900–1980) was one of the twentieth century’s most renowned psychologists. Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch (1808–1888) is regarded as the herald of Modern Jewish Orthodoxy. Fromm’s grandfather was an Orthodox rabbi with strong personal ties to Rabbi Hirsch. Fromm grew up as an Orthodox Jew in Rabbi Hirsch’s hometown Frankfurt, and his intensive Jewish learning until his rupture with Orthodox Judaism (at the age of 26) is well attested. Thus Fromm must have been familiar with Hirsch’s teaching and thought. Through his entire life Fromm continued to write about Judaism, from a psychoanalytic point of view. Although Fromm mentions Hirsch only in passing in two of his very early German writings, in at least two instances in his mature writings – dealing with symbolism and Shabbat – he draws heavily and undoubtedly on Hirsch’s thought. The present article presents the evidence for this claim.

Published: September 2017

Este trabalho discute o papel dos telhados verdes no desenho e desenvolvimento urbano de baixo impacto ambiental. São aprofundadas as questões relacionadas ao manejo das águas pluviais urbanas e é avaliado o desempenho dos telhados verdes como dispositivos nos sistemas de micro e macrodrenagem. A metodologia envolveu a aplicação de modelos computacionais hidrológicos-hidráulicos através de estudo de caso em bacia hidrográfica localizada em área de paisagem peri-urbana na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. O modelo computacional adotado, SWMM da US-EPA, permite que se insira de maneira hipotética estes dispositivos em edificações pré-existentes. Através do estudo de cenários sem e com inserção de telhados verdes, pode-se avaliar virtualmente o papel destes dispositivos na redução dos volumes escoados superficialmente e da vazão instantânea máxima, assim como das condições de extravasamento da calha fluvial sob chuva intensa real observada no local em abril de 2010. Os resultados permitiram verificar que apesar de não reverter o extravasamento da calha fluvial, os telhados verdes tiveram impacto na redução dos volumes escoados superficialmente, que agravam as enchentes urbanas, e da vazão máxima instantânea em até 10% aproximadamente. A partir destes resultados e da avaliação das outras sinergias dos telhados verdes com o desenho e desenvolvimento urbano de baixo impacto ambiental recomenda-se o incentivo de políticas públicas que possam viabilizar sua adoção nas cidades Brasileiras com vistas à melhoria da qualidade de vida da população que habita os aglomerados urbanos.

Published: September 2017

Fungi can survive in various environments on different media including wood. Lignin in timber is hard to degrade efficiently because of its polymer form, and only a few of it can be hydrolyzed because of its composite and complex structure. Ligninolytic fungi produce an extracellular enzyme to withstand to toxic or mutagenic chemicals exposure and known to degrade different types of pollutant compounds. Lignin decomposers were also known to play a significant role in the pulping process of paper mills, used in waste treatment such as textile and hydrocarbon wastes. This study was conducted to obtain fungal isolates that have de-lignification capability and to compare the ability of fungal isolates to degrade lignin. The research isolated samples from rotten wood and soil using selective lignin medium with tannic acid as sole C source. This study characterized the isolates by its morphology and identified using the Morphology and Taxonomy of Fungi book by Bessey (1950) as a reference. This study compared the ligninolytic capability by measuring the transparent zone formed on selective lignin media. This research found 14 isolates of fungi and all of them had a ligninolytic capability. Aspergillus niger isolate has the highest ligninolytic capability by producing 6.45 cm clear zone diameter on the 7th day. Aureobasidium sp has the smallest clear zone diameter of 1.9 cm within the same period.

Rice plant needs essential and non-essential nutrients to grow. However, the use of inorganic fertilizers may affect the soil microbe community which expected to increase the availability of nutrients for both plants and microbes, a condition that could control several types of diseases. Many efforts were made to find alternative fertilizer which environmentally friendly, for instance by exploiting microorganisms such as endophytic bacteria associated with plant tissue or seed plant cell. This research aimed to determine the effect of endophytic bacteria, the concentration of IAA, and the combination of endophytic bacteria with a concentration of IAA, on the growth of rice plant. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Soil Biology, The Soil Research Institute located in Cimanggu Bogor from December 2015 to February 2016. This research was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors, i.e., the inoculant of endophytic bacteria (2.2 KT, KR 6, and I CM), and the concentration of IAA (0, 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, and 1 ppm). Three replicates were applied for each treatment of the inoculant combined with different doses of IAA. The variety of rice plants tested were Inpari 13 and IR 64. The potential test has been applied to determine the factor with the highest yield of the rice plant growth. The parameters observed were the height of the rice plant, the length of the rice plant roots, and the total weight of the plant including root. The results showed the inocula of endophytic bacteria alone had no effect to increase growth for both IR 64 and Inpari 13 rice variety. The IAA concentration of 0.1 ppm was able to increase the height of rice plant and the length of rice plant root for both IR 64 rice plant and Inpari 13. The combined treatment of KR 6 bacterial inoculum with 1 ppm of IAA concentration was effectively promoted rice plant growth for both IR 64 and Inpari 13.

Published: September 2017

The failure time of a slope is predicted by a method based on creep failure theory for slope displacement on natural slopes, embankments, and cutting slopes. These prediction methods employ several equations based on the relationship between the displacement rate (displacement velocity) and time. However, such methods harbor problems because the shape of the tertiary creep curve is affected by many conditions, and it is difficult to identify the phase of tertiary creep. This study examines the time change in the displacement rate of the slope and derives an index for identifying the phase of tertiary creep. Two models of large-scale composite granite slopes were tested by using a large-scale rainfall simulator. In the experiments, the slope displacements were monitored in real time. From these results, inflection points were found in the velocity of the slope displacement. It was found that the corresponding inflection points at different locations in the sliding soil mass occurred with the same timing. This paper discusses the effectiveness of the prediction method for slope failure time by using the inflection points of displacement rate in real-time monitoring records.

Published: September 2017

Since mid of 2015, the number of BPR customer has declined (Joko Suyanto in Linangkung, 2016). This study intends to describe what factors that influence the low rate of BPR customer growth in Jakarta. The explorative approach was done by employing samples in two steps. First, interviews were conducted on 10 market participants followed by FGD (focus group discussion) to 32 respondents in one of the largest â€œpasar indukâ€ in Jakarta. Second, FGD results become the guideline for arranging the questionnaires and distributed to 200 respondents in five locations of â€œpasar indukâ€ in Jakarta by applying quota sampling technique. The collected data were analyzed using factor analysis technique by involving practitioners and academics in the process of identifying and naming the variables. The result proves that the factors that affect the customers reluctant to become BPR customers caused by five factors, namely: attitude (consumer rating for not to choose BPR); subjective norms (the pressure of the relatives); perceived behavioral control (customers control to decide not to choose BPR); intention (the intention not to choose BPR; and behavior (action not to choose BPR).
Should the Standard Count Be Excluded from Neutron Probe Calibration?
Authors: Zhang Z. Fred
Published: September 2017

Core Ideas

Traditional count‐ratio‐based neutron probe calibration introduces unnecessary error.

Count‐based calibration eliminates this error in water content measurement.

Count‐based calibration is useful when the standard count is questionable or absent.

The aging effect of a neutron probe over a period of 26 yr was negligible.

About 6 decades after its introduction, the neutron probe (NP) remains one of the most accurate methods for indirect measurement of soil moisture content. Traditionally, the calibration of a NP involves the ratio of the neutron count in the soil to a standard count, which is the neutron count in the fixed environment such as the probe shield or a specially designed calibration tank. The drawback of this count‐ratio‐based calibration is that the error in the standard count is carried through to all the measurements. An alternative calibration is to use the neutron counts only, not the ratio, with proper correction for radioactive decay and counting time. To evaluate both approaches, the shield counts of a NP used for three decades were analyzed. The results show that the ground surface conditions have a substantial effect on the standard count. The error in the standard count also impacts the calculation of water storage and could indicate false consistency among replicates. The analysis of the shield counts indicates negligible aging effect of the instrument over a period of 26 yr. It is concluded that, by excluding the standard count, the use of the count‐based calibration is appropriate and sometimes even better than ratio‐based calibration. The count‐based calibration is especially useful for historical data when the standard count was questionable or absent.

Authors: Xu Jinlan , Zhang Haiyang , Zhao Rong , Kong Fanxing
Published: September 2017

The main objective of this study was to investigate how signal molecules enhance bacterial quorum aggregation on a zeolite capping layer for sustainable inhibition of ammonium release from contaminated sediment. Sediment remediation experiments were carried out by using nitrifying bacteria (WGX10, WGX18), denitrifying bacteria (HF3, HF7) and two kinds of signal molecules (OHHL, C8-HSL). The results showed that nitrifying bacteria and denitrifying bacteria could significantly aggregate on zeolite after adding 1.0 μM OHHL at a C/N ratio of 7. The maximum ammonium removal of five times the amount of ammonium adsorbed was achieved when 1.0 μM OHHL was added at the C/N ratio of 7 (the bio-regeneration rate was up to 88.32%), which was 1.24–2.02 times the ammonium removal amount at C/N ratios of 3, 5, 9. The concentration of total nitrogen in the overlying water was no more than 0.8 mg/L during four rounds of sediment remediation experiments. In addition, the bio-regeneration rate was up to 71.20%, which achieved sustainable inhibition of ammonium release from contaminated sediment.

Authors: Setiawan Irma
Published: September 2017

The language variation of a tribe in Indonesia has directly reflected language diversity and accent in its speech community. However, inter-tribal language diversity does not mean that it does not have a language closeness relationship. Thus, in this study, the problems examined is the identification of the relation of the language of Sasak ethnic group and Samawa ethnic group. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to describe the language kinship (similarity) of Sasak language and Samawa language. In addition, language kinship can create a sense of language solidarity in order to strengthen the unity among the various ethnic groups in Indonesia. The collected data was obtained by employing method consisting of an interview with its basic technique and derivatives, observation (based on Swades vocabulary), and documentation. Sources of data were obtained from speakers of Sasak language and Samawa language who were communicating. The collected data were analyzed by combination method namely descriptive qualitative and quantitative. This combination was employed to describe the research in systematic, categorized, patterned, and dialectometry. Data are presented formally and informally. In the end, this study discovers the relation or relativity of variations of the two ethnic languages that will strengthen the value of togetherness and tribal unity in Indonesia.

The development of an iPad based App to support clinical and research assessment of cognition in dementia: ACEmobile. (Preprint)
Authors: Newman Craig , Hodges John , Zajicek John , Noad Rupert
Published: September 2017

BACKGROUND

Cognitive screening is common practice in efforts to identify Alzheimer’s dementia in the early stages. The need for reliable and accurate assessment is critical, at this stage, to avoid distress or missed opportunities to support people with developing health needs. Administrator errors are observed to be both significant and common when clinicians deliver cognitive screening tools in clinical contexts, often as a result of complicated rules and the need for mental arithmetic. The Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-III is one of the most used cognitive screening tools in the UK, observed to be prone to such user errors.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to develop and release a computerized cognitive screening support tool for clinicians who use the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-III to screen for dementia.

METHODS

We undertook an innovation pathways approach, including problem identification, feasibility assessment, design and implementation. This project required numerous stages of consideration to meet data protection and NHS standards for implementation, this process is detailed.

RESULTS

Clinicians were provided an iPad based app (ACEmobile) via iTunes, which draws on usability research to standardize user behavior – thus standardizing the assessment of cognitive impairment alongside automated scoring.
Results include continued use after three years in the market, registration from over 1,100 clinical users and the consented collection of over 4,300 dementia assessments to support further research into the development of ACE-III and ACEmobile.

CONCLUSIONS

ACEmobile has demonstrated itself as a clinical tool which continues to support a large number of clinicians and large scale research projects. The focus on usability has added value to its predecessor (ACE-III) in that the clinician’s assessment is now supported to be standardized. Feedback relating to ACEmobile has been unanimously positive and reflects these strengths.

Agricultural drought is characterized by lack of sufficient moisture in the surface soil layers to support crop and forage growth. Indicators of agricultural drought often are precipitation, temperature and soil moisture to measure soil moisture and crop yield.  This study aims to assess spatiotemporal of drought in the Tihama Plain, which is one of the most important agricultural areas in Yemen, where contributes about 42% of the total agricultural production in the country. In recent years, the Tihama Plain faced changes in the rainy season, which reflect negatively on agriculture production and water security in the area. In this study the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was used to temporal evaluation of the situation of drought, also it has been used Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in order to show the spatial variability distribution of drought in the study area. The analysis results by SPI-6 showed that the years 1984,1991,2002, 2003,2004,2005,2006 and 2008 were the most affected by drought during the study period 30 years (1980-2010), also show that the year 1991 was the worst years of drought experienced by the study area. Based on the fact that the study area is the most important agricultural areas in Yemen, it is recommended a study the drought and its impact on agricultural crops in the area.
Infrastructural Facility and the Students’ Academic Performance - A Critique
Authors: Fagbohunka Adejompo Stephen
Published: September 2017

Abstract: The paper underscores the infrastructural facility and the student’s academic performance in Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria. Thirty questionnaires were administered through a systematic sampling technique in each of the six faculties making a total of 180 questionnaires. The paper has found out a positive relationship between the student’s academic performance, power supply and health facilities. However, the internet facilities and transportation facilities were not adequate, whereas water supply was adequate. A test of the impact of infrastructural facility on the student’s academic performance, using a Chi Square statistical technique revealed a significant value of 177.1 at 0.05 % level. The paper recommends that the existing facilities should be upgraded and significantly improved by the government; urgent attention should be given to the development of the internet facilities and transportation sector of the University. Also, private partnership should be encouraged in the infrastructural development of the University.
Use of Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) Method to Estimate the Effects of Location Attributes on the Residential Property Values

Published: September 2017

This study estimates the effect of locational attributes on residential property values in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Geographically weighted regression (GWR) enables the use of the local parameter rather than the global parameter to be estimated, with the results presented in map form. The results of this study reveal that residential property values are mainly determined by the property’s physical (structural) attributes, but proximity to locational attributes also contributes marginally. The use of GWR in this study is considered a better approach than other methods to examine the effect of locational attributes on residential property values. GWR has the capability to produce meaningful results in which different locational attributes have differential spatial effects across a geographical area on residential property values. This method has the ability to determine the factors on which premiums depend, and in turn it can assist the government in taxation matters.
Politik Keshalehan Personal dalam Pemilihan Presiden 2014 dalam Media Sosial Twitter

Published: September 2017

Ekspresi beragama seringkali problematis, terutama saat berhadapan dengan dilema antara agama yang seringkali berseberangan dengan nilai demokrasi. Di area abu-abu seperti ini agama rentan disalahgunakan dalam kontestasi politik. Studi ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi peran agama dalam dalam proses komunikasi politik mengenai konstruksi kepemimpinan politik (political leadership) capres 2014 di Twitter. Dengan menggunakan analisis wacana kritis studi ini menunjukkan adanya praktik sosial berupa politisasi agama yang bekerja melalui mekanisme politik keshalehan personal (politics of personal piety). Hal ini tersebut dilandasi temuan penggunaan nilai agama mayoritas (Islam) sebagai alat legitimasi kepemimpinan politik ideal dan sebaliknya penggunaan nilai-nilai agama/keyakinan minoritas untuk mengkonstruksi kepemimpinan politik tidak ideal. Hal ini menyiratkan bagaimana hegemoni agama dimanfaatkan secara sistematis untuk meraih kekusaaan politik. Dengan demikian peran agama dalam kontestasi politik di Twitter cenderung bersifat degradatif terhadap proses demokrasi. Hal ini disebabkan karena proses komunikasi politik gagal mendiskusikan nilai agama dengan prosedur dialog netral.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease which is becoming the first number of health problem in Indonesia, based on the results of the Basic Health Research of Ministry of Health in 2013. One of the diabetes complications affected by high levels of blood glucose is diabetic ulcers wich 85% the number of cases was overed by amputation as the result of improper handling. Herbal treatments could be an alternative treatment of diabetic ulcers, one of them is binahong plant. The results of previous studies have shown the ability of ethanolic extract of binahong leaf in accelerating wound healing in diabetic rats. This study would be a continued study to test five kinds of binahong leaf fractions (FDB) with gradual solvent polarity in accelerating wound healing in diabetic ulcer. Wound healing parameters observed were percentage of wound healing from the wound diameter contraction. The test begins with ethanolic extract of binahong leaf fractionation to produce fractions of hexane (FHDB), chloroform (FKDB), ethyl acetate (FEADB), and ethanol (FEDB). Water fraction (FADB) was obtained from ethanolic leaf extract residues of binahong leaf extraction. Each fraction activity was tested topically twice daily on dorsal of test animals that created wounds using a punch biopsy 5 mm diameters. Grouping of test animals were divided into 13 groups with normal control group (non diabetes), negative control (diabetes + topical application of biocream®), positive control (diabetes + topical application of madecassol), and 10 diabetes groups with topical application of 5 kinds of binahong leaf fractions with each fractions consist of a concentrations of 5% and 10% with biocream® as a vehicle. Diabetic parameters measured include blood glucose levels (KGD) and weight lost percentage (PB%) in day 1 and 10 during a 10-day treatment. The results showed the influence of KGD in the condition of diabetes on wound healing rats diabetic ulcers which topically treated with binahong leaf fractions. FADB 10% has significant differences potention in wound healing process in diabetic rats macroscopically that accelerates wound contraction compared with negative and positive control groups (p<0,05).
