The Strategy To Translate Metaphor
Authors: Widiyantari Yunita
Published: July 2018

Metaphor is called as part of comparison figure of speech. It compares two thing implisitly without using any comparison words such as, like, resemble to, etc. As a figurative expression, metaphor requires a special treatment to translate.  The ability of the translator is very much influence to the result of metaphorical translation. He is not only have to  empower himself with both source and target languages but also he better has a deep cultural understanding especially about metaphor. There are four types of metaphor on Ullmann version (1972: 213 - 216), namely: Antropomorfis etmaphor, animal metaphor, the abstract to concrete transfer and vise versa, sinaestetic metaphor. Furthermore, there are three criteria that should be fulfilled to value the quality of a translation viz the accuracy, the acceptability, and the text readability.Keywords:  Translation; Strategy;  Metaphor

Published: July 2018

A notary in exercising powers to make an authentic deed is required to read it before an interlocutor as it is set in Article 16 paragraph (1) letter (m) Notary Act.  The problem that arises is that, in some cases, notaries are not the only persons who exercise such duties. In fact, such role is often replaced by their staffs on duties entitled to them. It asserts that Notary Act is not extremely obeyed with following effects of the absence of laws in Notary Act which is specifically dealt with the role of notary’s staffs. This study uses empirical legal research with sociological jurisprudence approach. The result shows that a notary has attributive powers from Notary Act which is granted rights or powers to authorize staffs to act and exercize notary’s duties. To adhere with this view, a notary deed is seen as a perfect evidence if a notary did not accomplish certain procedures. However, if a notary cannot prove it, the declaration of a privately made deed should be made by judges of the courts. If there is any disadvantage as the result of deed read by staffs, a notary can be sued in the courts to provide compensation or certain terms as constituted in Article 1365 of the Civil Code, including maerial and immaterial compensations.

Pemenuhan Hak atas Informasi Publik sebagai Tanggung Jawab Negara dalam Mewujudkan Good Governance
Authors: Muhshi Adam
Published: July 2018

There are two legal issues proposed in this study, inter alia, the nature of the right to public information and state's responsibility for the fulfillment of the right to public information. This study uses legal research with statute and conceptual approaches. The results of this study shows that the right to public information becomes part of the human rights as guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution. Public information has become a logical consequence of the obligation of the state to account for the implementation of its government to the citizens as its main purpose is to ensure the accountability and credibility of public institutions through the provision of information and documents at the public request so that the principle of information disclosure is one component in the realization of good governance. As a constitutional right of citizens, it also shows that ‘a contrario’ the fulfillment of public information is the responsibility of the state. According to this view, the fulfillment of the right to public information is not only related to obligations, but the content must be true and provided openly and honestly. It concludes that the fulfillment of public information conducted openly and honestly will contribute to an attempt to realize good governance

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is an encephalopathy that can be clinically characterized by headache, altered mental status and/or seizures. Neuroimaging demonstrates usually reversible bilateral subcortical vasogenic occipital-parietal edema. Exact pathophysiology remains unclear but is commonly associated with hypertension, renal failure, sepsis and use of immunosuppressive therapy. Its development in the setting of severe hypercalcemia is extremely rare. The authors report a case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in a normotensive patient with severe hypercalcemia as the only identifiable cause.

Apesar do conceito de dramaturgia manter forte conexão com o campo da literatura teatral, é certo que, especialmente depois do desenvolvimento da figura do encenador e do refinamento das múltiplas perspectivas do trabalho do ator no século passado, o conceito vem se expandindo, ou ainda, retomando seu sentido primeiro, ou seja o sentido da organização das ações, quer seja no suporte do texto escrito, quer seja na materialidade da cena e seus sistemas de signos. É um movimento natural: quando se refinam os sistemas de signos esses buscam uma autonomia de linguagem. Hoje fala-se na dramaturgia do ator, do movimento, da dança, do espaço, da luz, do tempo...Neste sentido, é interessante examinarmos, numa perspectiva dramatúrgica, as múltiplas linguagens cênicas que vêm sendo produzidas, discutidas e analisadas neste último século.
ASTRONOMERS AS SKETCHERS AND PAINTERS: THE EYE – THE HAND – THE UNDERSTANDING1
Authors: Herrmann Dieter B.
Published: July 2018

Today we are accustomed to seeing the objects of the universe in magnificent digital pictures vividly before our eyes. But before the invention of photography, the art of painting and drawing played an important role in scientific research. Those who were powerful astronomers of this art had the advantage. This article substantiates this thesis by means of selected examples. The drawings and the related discoveries of Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), Johannes Hevelius (1611–1687), Tobias Mayer (1723–1762), Johann Heinrich Mädler (1794–1874), Julius Schmidt (1825–1884), Giovanni Schiaparelli (1835–1910), Eugenios Antoniadi (1870–1944), William Parsons alias Lord Rosse (1800–1867), Ernst Wilhelm Leberecht Tempel (1821–1889), Etienne Trouvelot (1827–1895) and Walter Löbering (1895–1969) and showed their most important drawn observation documents. It can be seen that thanks to their art and the associated highly developed ability to perceive it, astronomers' drawings have made astounding discoveries that others have been denied. Finally, some thoughts on the role of drawn or painted astronomical motifs in the present are developed.

The value of a service system should be evaluated using multiple indicators, such as company profitability, consumer satisfaction, or employee satisfaction to realize an ecosystem in society. This study examines the mechanisms of service systems with a multi-agent simulation model consisting of a company, employees, and consumers based on game theory. The proposed model is intended for a basic service business in which employees provide services to consumers directly based on their skill. In this model, first, a company player sets the price of a service and salary of employees. Then, employees decide whether to acquire resources, such as skills, with their efforts (costs) to satisfy either consumers’ needs or not. Then the employees acquire their profits (equivariant of satisfaction) not only from acquired salary but also from the reflection of consumer satisfaction. However, consumers have their needs structure, as gain tables, and decide whether and from whom to purchase. A consumer’s profit is calculated using his/her satisfaction with the service provided using a certain employee and the price paid for the service. Based on the model proposed above, we conducted a multi-agent simulation where company, employee consumer players make decision to maximize their own profits. From the basic simulation results, two convergent patterns are acquired according to the initial values of price and salary. In the second simulation, the heterogeneity of consumer needs is considered in the model based on questionnaire survey results on actual consumer behaviors related to hair salons (n=2472). With a factor analysis of 13 questionnaire items on lifestyles, four lifestyle factors are extracted. Based on the survey results, consumer players of four types are introduced into the simulation to analyze which services are selected in the service system. Through the simulation, four convergent patterns are acquired. In those patterns, consumers of different types are included according to the types of services. With those results, this paper presents a discussion of the design of a new service ecosystem through the comparison between acquired convergent solutions and existing business models.
A Study on Support Method of Consulting Service Using Text Mining

This study aims to build a support method for consulting service companies allowing them to respond to client demands regardless of the expertise of the consultants. With an emphasis on the revitalization of small and medium-sized enterprises, the importance of support systems for consulting services for small and medium-sized enterprises, which support solving problems that are difficult to deal with by an enterprise, is increasing. Consulting companies can respond to a wide range of management consultations; however, because the contents of a consultation are widely and highly specialized, a service proposal and the problem detection depend on the experience and intuition of the consultant, and thus a stable service may occasionally not be provided. Therefore, a support system for providing stable services independent of the ability of consultants is desired. In this research, as the first step in constructing a support system, an analysis of customer information describing the content of a consultation with the client companies is conducted to predict the occurrence of future problems. Text data such as the consultant’s visitation history, consultation content by e-mail, and call center content are used in the analysis because the contents explain not only the current problems but also possibly contain future problems. This paper describes a method for analyzing the text data by employing text mining. In the proposed method, by combining a correspondence analysis with a DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) discriminant analysis, words that are strongly related to problem detection are extracted from a large number of words obtained from text data, and variables of the DEA discriminant analysis are reduced and analyzed. The proposed method focuses on a cancellation of contract problems. The cancellation problem does not include uncertainty; it is clearly known whether the contract of the consulting service is being updated or cancelled. In this study, computer experiments were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method through a comparison with an existing method. The results of the verification experiment are as follows. First, there is a possibility of discovering new factors that cannot be determined from the intuition and experience of the consultant regarding the target problem. Second, through a comparison with the existing method, the effectiveness of the proposed method was confirmed.

Published: July 2018

Digitalization is frequently seen as an important source of service innovation, enabling new solutions where products and services are bundled into offerings. As the realization of such offerings frequently requires the inclusion of new technological components and implies changes to activities across the value chain, they often require collaboration with other companies. This article explores what challenges arise when different organizations collaborate in service innovation enabled by digitalization. This study investigates a joint project between three companies aiming to innovate, build, and verify a proof-of-concept for an automated return process at a European rental company in the construction industry. An explorative case study approach was selected, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews with key managers in the collaborating companies as well as through meetings and workshops during the innovation project. The empirical observations revealed four main challenges: (1) the formulation of shared and complementary innovation objectives, (2) the joint design of a new business model addressing both value creation and value appropriation, (3) the management of the collaborative project across organizational boundaries, and (4) the fruitful combining of multiple agile organizing approaches.

Published: July 2018

Back pain has been a serious problem for novice nurses who care for bedridden patients. To avoid back pain, placing a slippery sliding sheet beneath a patient has been suggested so that nurses can pull it when repositioning the patient rather than lifting the patient. However, inappropriate use of the sheet may not reduce lumbar pain. Therefore, it is important to identify skills required for novice nurses to perform bed care movements using a sliding sheet. This study firstly performed interview to obtain useful knowledge from expert nurses who are skilled in using a sliding sheet. Next, a simulation study was then conducted to determine specific bed care movements that would minimize lumbar joint moment associated with lumbar pain. The simulated and expert movements were compared to validate whether expert movements decreases lumbar joint moment. Finally, a novice participant was taught these expert movements, and the educational effect of using these skills was validated. Our results showed that the experts used characteristic movements, keeping the upper arm and trunk stabilized and utilizing a shift in body weight, when performing bed care movements with the sliding sheet. Additionally, the expert movements and simulated movements were shown to be similar. This result confirmed that expert movements could contribute to reducing lumbar joint moments. Moreover, a novice participant could decrease lumbar moment using skills derived from effective education.

Low-cost mirror surface machining of die steel is proposed in this research by applying elliptical vibration cutting with diamond-coated tools sharpened by pulse laser grinding (PLG). It is well known that conventional diamond cutting cannot be applied to die steel owing to rapid tool wear. Several attempts have been reported to prevent rapid tool wear, such as using ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting. The ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting developed by the authors to achieve mirror surface finish on die steel and prevent rapid wear is widely used in the industry. However, high-cost single-crystalline diamond tools that are finished using a time-consuming lapping process are required to obtain mirror surfaces. The authors, meanwhile, have recently developed the PLG process to efficiently sharpen the cutting edges of hard tool materials such as cubic boron nitride. Therefore, a practical mirror surface machining method for die steel is proposed in this research, namely elliptical vibration cutting with low-cost diamond-coated tools sharpened by the efficient PLG process. The results of the machining experiments confirmed that practical mirror surface machining of die steel can be achieved by the proposed method.

The tensile thermal stress generated by laser irradiation with forced cooling is critical in the cleavage processing of thin plate glass. In this study, we predicted the conditions for generating tensile thermal stress in laser-induced cleavage of thin plate glass using numerical models from the viewpoint of the cooling and heating areas. An unsteady two-dimensional model was used to predict the temperature distribution and an unsteady plane stress model was used to predict the thermal stress. To generate tensile thermal stress, a cooling area is required behind the heating area. A specific scanning speed is required to yield the maximum tensile stress between the heating and cooling areas. A weak heat transfer coefficient in the cooling area generates tensile thermal stress only in the direction perpendicular to (y direction) the scanning direction of the heat source (x direction). A strong heat transfer coefficient generates tensile thermal stress in both the x and y directions. These tensile thermal stresses are surrounded by horseshoe-shaped compressive thermal stress. The tensile thermal stress can be controlled by selecting an appropriate cooling method for the cooling area.

ABSTRAKTWstęp: Dostępne zaawansowane metody diagnostyczne pozwalają diagnozować oraz różnicować wiele chorób już we wczesnych ich stadiach, jednak wczesne wykrywanie raka trzustki oraz jelita grubego nadal stanowi wyzwanie dla dzisiejszej medycyny. Obecnie poszukiwane są techniki ograniczające użycie metod inwazyjnych i badań obrazowych, które często nie rozstrzygają wątpliwości. W wielu pracach naukowych kierunek badań narzucają dwa główne mechanizmy karcynogenezy – mutacje genowe oraz przewlekłe zapalenia narządów. Rak jelita grubego: Dla raka jelita grubego obiecująco prezentują się badania immunochemiczne kału, uwzględniające stężenie hemoglobiny w kale. Innym aspektem diagnostycznym tego nowotworu mogą być badania nad obecnością różnorodnych kombinacji przeciwciał przeciw antygenom powiązanym z występowaniem raka (np. liwina, surwiwina, antygen węglowodanowy 19-9, antygen karcynoembrionalny, inhibitor apoptozy sprzężony z chromosomem X itp.). W świetle mechanizmu przewlekłego zapalenia narządu jako przyczyny nowotworu obiecująco zapowiadają się badania nad metabolitami kwasu arachidonowego w moczu chorych z rakiem okrężnicy. Rak trzustki: W przypadku raka trzustki prowadzone są badania dotyczące mutacji chromosomów 8q i 9p genu SKAP2 oraz hipermetylacji genów takich jak SFRP1, MESTv2, APC. Na uwagę zasługują także analizy stężeń adipokin omentyny i adiponektyny we krwi chorych ze zmianami nowotworowymi i przewlekłymi stanami zapalnymi narządów. Inną strategią we wczesnej diagnostyce raka trzustki mogą być badania nad miRNA jako onkogenem lub supresorem transformacji nowotworowych, np. miRNA-21 i miRNA-155, które dodatkowo być może umożliwią różnicowanie zmian łagodnych od złośliwych. Wnioski: Omówione metody prezentują najnowsze możliwości technik identyfikacji nowotworów, ale potrzeba jeszcze wielu badań, aby stały się one podstawowymi narzędziami klinicznymi włączonymi w panele diagnostyczne.

ABSTRAKTWstęp: Współczesna stomatologia zachowawcza oparta jest głównie na pracy z materiałami kompozytowymi. Jest to związane nie tylko z możliwością ich kompleksowego zastosowania, ale także z estetycznymi względami, które można osiągnąć dzięki szerokiej gamie tych materiałów. W przypadkach, w których nie jest możliwe prawidłowe wykonanie uzupełnień kompozytowych, należy rozważyć zastąpienie go alternatywnym materiałem, który zapewni bardziej stabilną rekonstrukcję tkanek zęba. Nieprawidłowo wykonane odbudowy kompozytowe w stosunkowo krótkim czasie mogą prowadzić do powstania nieszczelności brzeżnej, co przyczynia się do akumulacji płytki nazębnej i rozwoju próchnicy wtórnej.Celem pracy było dokonanie in vivo oceny przydatności trzech różnych metod diagnostycznych (badania klinicznego, fluorescencji laserowej oraz radiografii) w wykrywaniu próchnicy wtórnej w zębach posiadających wypełnienia amalgamatowe lub kompozytowe w klasie I wg Blacka.Materiały i metody: Badaniem objęto grupę 94 pacjentów w wieku 17–67 lat. Oceniono łącznie 200 wypełnień z materiałów złożonych i amalgamatu, w których stwierdzono obecność nieszczelności brzeżnej, przebarwienie brzegów wypełnienia lub przylegających tkanek zęba. Nie uwzględniano zębów z widocznymi ogniskami próchnicy wtórnej. Przeprowadzono badanie kliniczne, ocenę fluorescencji laserowej oraz badanie radiologiczne zębów zakwalifikowanych do oceny. Wyniki: Obecność próchnicy wtórnej stwierdzono w przypadku 137 spośród 200 badanych zębów. Metoda fluorescencji laserowej i badanie radiologiczne wykazały niską czułość wykrywania próchnicy wtórnej (odpowiednio 0,31 i 0,39). Obydwie metody wykazywały natomiast wyższą swoistość (odpowiednio 0,86 i 0,98) oraz dokładność (odpowiednio 0,49 i 0,58). Wnioski: Badanie kliniczne jest najskuteczniejszą metodą diagnozowania wtórnych ognisk próchnicy w uzupełnieniach klasy I wg Blacka. Fluorescencja laserowa oraz badania radiologiczne powinny być przeprowadzane wyłącznie w ramach uzupełnienia badania klinicznego.

ABSTRAKTPourazowe ubytki tkanek miękkich dołu pachowego są bardzo rzadkie. W pracy przedstawiono przypadek 41-letniego mężczyzny, u którego taki ubytek powstał w następstwie wypadku komunikacyjnego. Do pokrycia ubytku zastosowano skórno-powięziowy płat zrotowany z bocznej strony klatki piersiowej i przeszczepy skóry pośredniej grubości w miejscach, których płat nie obejmował. Uzyskano całkowite zamknięcie ubytku, z niewielkim ograniczeniem odwiedzenia w stawie ramiennym. Pacjent odzyskał pełną sprawność uszkodzonej kończyny górnej.
Extension of Capacitance/Resistance Model to Tracer Flow for Determining Reservoir Properties
Authors: Naudomsup Nuntha , Lake Larry W.
Published: July 2018

Several tools and techniques exist to understand distributions of reservoir properties. Interwell tracer testing is one of the most common methods to obtain reservoir information from the amount of tracer produced. The capacitance/resistance model (CRM) is an analytical tool to estimate connectivity between producer/injector pairs from historical rates and, when available, bottomhole-pressure data in waterfloods. Because the CRM is a physically based, simple input/output model, its combination with tracer testing can provide insight into reservoir features.

To enable the CRM application to tracer flow, we incorporated tracer models, based on miscible-displacement theory, into the CRM. Reservoir properties are estimated as a result of the model fitting to produced-tracer data. In this paper, we present three tracer models: a dispersion-only (short-range autocorrelation) model, a Koval (long-range) model, and a combination of the two. To incorporate the tracer models into the CRM, we used two methods, serial fitting (CRM then tracers) and simultaneous fitting (CRM and tracers).

We applied these techniques to tracer data from 10 injectors and 10 producers of the Lawrence Field. Results suggest that interwell connectivity obtained from the CRM is in good agreement with the observed peak-tracer concentrations. All tracer models are capable of giving a good fit in most of the cases. After comparing the tracer models, we determined that the combined model can represent a tracer flow better than the other two models alone. We also found that the simultaneous-fitting method gives the best fit to total producer-rate data and tracer data. Simultaneous fitting mitigates the nonuniqueness of the fits, leading to an improvement of tracer matching. The reservoir properties obtained in this study (Koval factor and dispersion coefficient) also were analyzed and compared with those from previous measurements.

Legumes improved N supply for sweet potato grown subsequently.

Mucuna aterrima supply more N to sweet potato than other cover crops.

Previous legume cultivation reduces 35.2% the mineral N rate on sweet potato.

Higher mineral N rate increased growth of sweet potato vines.

Selected cover crops can provide N to sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam) crops cultivated in succession and reduce the need for mineral N application. This study was conducted to determine the growth, leaf N concentration, N uptake, N removal, storage root yield, and N‐use efficiency of sweet potato crop in response to different cover crop sources and mineral N fertilizer rates. A field experiment was performed over 2 agricultural yr using a randomized complete block design with split‐plots and four replications. Whole plots consisted of four cover crops: One control (spontaneous weeds), two legumes (Crotalaria spectabilis and Mucuna aterrima), and one cereal (Pennisetum glaucum). Subplots consisted of four N rates (0, 50, 100, and 200 kg ha−1) applied to the sweet potato. When no N was applied, M. aterrima supplied more N to sweet potato grown in succession but had the same effect as C. spectabilis on root yield. P. glaucum and spontaneous weeds had the same effect on the N supply and performance of sweet potato. The N rates for the optimum root yield of sweet potato were 49.6 and 76.6 kg N ha−1 when grown after legume and non‐legume species. In tropical conditions, the use of legumes as cover crops reduced the need for mineral N fertilizers by up to 35.2% for sweet potato. The cultivation history of a field should be an important consideration when determining the N fertilization for sweet potato because a high N supply favored the growth of vegetative plant parts.

Core Ideas

A foliar fungicide applied at the corn tasseling stage can reduce stalk rot severity but is likely related to control of foliar diseases.

If corn harvest is delayed, stalk rot severity can increase.

Corn hybrids with resistance to gray leaf spot may have reduced stalk rot compared with susceptible hybrids.

The use of foliar‐applied fungicides on corn (Zea mays) in the United States has been heralded as a way to improve stalk health. Our goal was to provide evidence whether the use of pyraclostrobin fungicide provided benefits beyond managing foliar diseases of corn, such as gray leaf spot (caused by Cercospora zeae‐maydis). Field trials evaluating the response of four corn hybrids at two harvest times to the foliar application of pyraclostrobin fungicide applied at tassel stage were conducted near Champaign, IL in three consecutive years (2008–2010). The selected corn hybrids were either susceptible (‘H‐8838’ and ‘H‐8939’) or moderately resistant (‘H‐8852’ and ‘H‐8953’) to gray leaf spot. In addition, each set of hybrids represented “sister” lines, with H‐8939 and H‐8953 containing transgenic Bt traits for European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) and corn rootworm (Diabrotica spp.) control. Plots were harvested at two different times when seed moisture concentration was approximately 25% or 3 to 4 weeks later. Stalk health was evaluated immediately prior to harvest by splitting the stalks open and visually rating stalk rot using a 0 to 5 severity scale. In general, corn hybrids that were susceptible to gray leaf spot had greater stalk rot severity than those that were moderately resistant to gray leaf spot. Within “sister” lines, no stalk rot differences were observed between Bt and non‐Bt hybrids. Stalk rot severity generally was greater at the second harvest date compared with the first harvest date. In general, plots treated with pyraclostrobin had reduced stalk rot severity compared with non‐treated plots.
