Authors: Simamora Riezka Yana , Huzaeni Huzaeni , Rizka Muhammad
Published: October 2018

Iridology merupakan metode menganalisis iris mata untuk mendeteksi kelemahan organ tubuh melalui ciri-ciri maupun tanda-tanda yang muncul pada iris mata. Iris mata memiliki kelebihan spesifik yang dapat merekam semua kondisi organ tubuh, salah satunya adalah organ lambung. Dengan memanfaatkan biometrik dan ilmu iridologi, maka pada Tugas Akhir ini dibangun sebuah perangkat lunak untuk mendeteksi gangguan lambung dengan menggunakan metode hebb rule. Mekanisme yang dilakukan oleh sistem dimulai dengan menginput citra iris mata yang kemudian diubah menjadi citra grayscale. Citra iris grayscale ditransformasikan ke dalam koordinat polar untuk memudahkan proses pengambilan daerah lambung pada lapisan pertama iris. Citra iris daerah lambung selanjutnya dilakukan proses pendeteksian tepi dengan menggunakan operator canny yang akan digunakan sebagai input metode hebb rule. Metode hebb rule yang akan menentukan iris mata yang terdapat gangguan lambung ataupun tidak dengan menghitung bobot dan net dari setiap nilai vektor yang membentuk pada pola iris daerah lambung. Terdapat beberapa faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi proses pendeteksian, seperti noise pada citra masukan dan pencahayaan yang masuk ke iris daerah lambung. Dari 40 citra iris mata yang diuji terdapat 31 citra yang mampu dikenali. Sehingga tingkat akurasi sistem ini adalah 77,50%. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa sistem ini mampu mendeteksi gangguan lambung melalui citra iris mata.Kata Kunci : Iridology, iris mata, lambung, citra polar, canny, hebb rule.

Authors: SALTAN Nagehan , KIRICI Damla , KÖSE Yavuz Bülent , DEMİRCİ Betül
Published: October 2018

The popular
medicinal plant Prunella vulgaris L., (Lamiaceae) is a
perennial and an edible herbaceous plant which is widely distributed
in the temperate zone and tropical mountains of Europe and Asia. Due to its
medicinal and industrial importance, the demand for P. vulgaris has
increased steadily in recent years. In the present study, the volatile compounds of the P. vulgaris
were accumulated by Headspace-Solid Phase Microextraction (HS-SPME) technique,
and, analysed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The chemical
composition of the methanolic extract (ME) and infusion (INF) of P. vulgaris were determined. Aerial parts of P. vulgaris INF
of the major compounds were found hexanal (23.1%), ionol (10.7%), (Z)-3-hexenal (3.2%) and 3,5-octadien-2-one.
The ME of P. vulgaris were
characterized with α-fenchone (11.1%), hexanal (8.2%),
3,5-octadien-2-one (4.7%), methyl benzoate (4.5%) and selina-4,11-diene (3.1%).
 It was evaluated the antimicrobial activity of
P. vulgaris extracts (ME, INF) in in vitro conditions against different
kinds of microorganisms. The
INF showed weak antimicrobial activity Minimum Inhibitor Concentration (MIC) against all tested
microorganisms whereas ME showed weak antimicrobial effects E. coli, S. aureus and Pseudomonas
aeruginosa; S. pyogenes (20 mg / mL) and C. albicans (15 mg /

Motivations for Sexual Behavior and Intentions to Use Condoms: Development of the Regulatory Focus in Sexuality (RFS) Scale
Authors: Rodrigues David L. , Lopes Diniz , Pereira Marco , Prada Marília , Garrido Margarida V.
Published: October 2018

Despite recurrent efforts to prevent sexually transmitted diseases through the use of condoms, HIV infections are still prevalent across Europe. Recent research framed by the regulatory focus theory has shown that prevention (vs. promotion) focused individuals are more likely to adopt strategies to protect their health. Therefore, these individuals should also be more motivated to use condoms, because they are more likely to perceive greater health threats. In two cross-sectional pre-registered studies (combined N = 520 Portuguese participants; databases available at doi:10.17605/osf.io/nzkmn) we developed the new Regulatory Focus in Sexuality (RFS) scale (Study 1), and tested if the association between prevention focus and intentions to use condoms was mediated by the perception of health threat (Study 2). Results from Study 1 suggested that the scale is valid and reliable. Results from Study 2 showed, as expected, that a predominant focus on prevention was associated with more condom use intentions with casual and regular sexual partners, because individuals perceived greater threat to their health. Additional exploratory analyses further showed that this mediation occurred only for individuals without a romantic relationship and was independent of how salient the condom use norm was. In contrast, for romantically involved individuals there was no evidence for the mediation by perceived health threat. Instead, a predominant focus on prevention was positively associated with condom use intentions with the regular partner, but only when the condom use norm was more salient. Taken together, these results emphasize the importance of examining individual motivations for safe sex practices.

Authors: zubaidah
Published: October 2018

SBK subjects in the craft of SDN Gugus V Padang Timur, especially in SDN 28 and SDN 29 did not perform well. The teachers do not implement the subjects, because the teachers do not master the material of SBK, especially the learning materials of handicraft and the making of RPP in accordance with the demands of the curriculum, so there is no direction in doing the learning. These two aspects are set as the top priority of the issues to be addressed. Solutions offered to overcome these problems is to conduct a training activity with the aim to improve the quality of learning SBK, especially learning materials handicrafts at partner SDN. Approaches to solve partner problems are 1) design, 2) present material / counseling, 3) training / workshop and 4) mentoring / guidance. The result of this activity is that priority problems have been resolved, namely; 1) 83.06% of participants have mastered the SBK material in the field of handicraft especially the material of the patch technique (collage) and the knot technique (makrame), 2) 86,11 the participants have mastered the RPP material well. This achievement exceeds the set target by 75%. In accordance with the results of activities, it is advisable: 1) the existence of kontiniutas in applying the knowledge and skills obtained by elementary school teachers, 2) so that these trainees can disseminate the skills he has gained to other friends who do not follow, so that all teachers can also improve their knowledge and skill in SBK learning in elementary school and 3) related institutions to create advanced programs, and provide training on untouched material on this IbM activities
Division of labour is biased towards equality amongst collaborators in a dyadic short-term memory task
Authors: Dalmaijer Edwin S. , Knapton Holly , Husain Masud , Holmqvist Kenneth , Niehorster Diederick C.
Published: October 2018

Human workers often divide labour on the basis of individual qualities. However, contemporary work on decision-making suggests collaborators value opinions equally, even when they are unequally skilled. We investigated whether this equality bias extends to division of labour in a collaborative game that leverages inter-individual short-term memory capacity differences. Pairs were shown eight memorisable items to divide among themselves, only communicating through their computer screens that displayed who claimed which items. After this, participants recalled randomly selected claimed items. To incentive collaboration, pairs were rewarded for their combined recall accuracy. Although we hypothesised they would maximise reward by dividing items according to each individuals’ capacities, pairs divided the number of items to-be-remembered equally. Furthermore, individuals’ collaboration ratings were unaffected by capacity or performance, but instead negatively correlated with task-irrelevant variability in claimed item locations. Finally, differences in claimed item numbers correlated with inter-individual differences in conscientiousness and social apathy. Our findings suggest humans have an equality bias when dividing labour between collaborators, even if they are of unequal skill.
White Matter Tract Disconnection
Authors: Geller Jason , Mirman Daniel , Thye Melissa
Published: October 2018

Despite the critical importance of close replications in strengthening and advancing scientific knowledge, there are inherent challenges to conducting replications of lesion-based studies. In the present study, we conducted a close conceptual replication of a study (i.e., Hope et al., 2016) that found that fluency and naming scores in post-stoke aphasia were more strongly associated with a binary measure of structural white matter integrity (tract disconnection) than a graded measure (lesion load). Using a different sample of stroke patients (N=128) and four language deficit measures (aphasia severity, picture naming, and composite scores for speech production and semantic cognition), we examined tract disconnection and lesion load in three white matter tracts that have been implicated in language processing: arcuate fasciculus, uncinate fasciculus, and inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus. We did not find any consistent evidence that binary tract disconnection was more strongly associated with language impairment over and above lesion load, though individual deficit measures differed with respect to whether lesion load or tract disconnection was the stronger predictor. Given the mixed findings, we suggest caution when using such indirect estimates of structural white matter integrity, and direct measurements (for example, diffusion weighted imaging) should be preferred when they are available. We end by highlighting the complex nature of replication in lesion-based studies and offer some potential solutions.
Consequences of power transforms as a statistical solution in linear mixed-effects models of chronometric data
Authors: Liceralde Van Rynald T , Gordon Peter C.
Published: October 2018

Power transforms have been increasingly used in linear mixed-effects models (LMMs) of chronometric data (e.g., response times [RTs]) as a statistical solution to preempt violating the assumption of residual normality. However, differences in results between LMMs fit to raw RTs and transformed RTs have reignited discussions on issues concerning the transformation of RTs. Here, we analyzed three word-recognition megastudies and performed Monte Carlo simulations to better understand the consequences of transforming RTs in LMMs. Within each megastudy, transforming RTs produced different fixed- and random-effect patterns; across the megastudies, RTs were optimally normalized by different power transforms, and results were more consistent among LMMs fit to raw RTs. Moreover, the simulations showed that LMMs fit to optimally normalized RTs had greater power for main effects in smaller samples, but that LMMs fit to raw RTs had greater power for interaction effects as sample sizes increased, with negligible differences in Type I error rates between the two models. Based on these results, LMMs should be fit to raw RTs when there is no compelling reason beyond nonnormality to transform RTs and when the interpretive framework mapping the predictors and RTs treats RT as an interval scale.

Hayvanlar
alemine ait, 5 şubeden birinde yer alan böcekler, eklembacaklılar şubesinin alt
sınıfıdır. Böceklerin dünyamızdaki varlığı yaklaşık 400 milyon yıl öncesine
dayandığı ve bir milyonu aşkın tür sayısı ile en büyük canlı grubunu oluşturduğu
bilinmektedir. Böcek
denilince; yiyeceklerimize ve giyeceklerimize verdiği zararlar, ekonomik açıdan
verdiği kayıplar, evcil hayvanlara ve insanlara bulaştırdığı hastalıklar,
gördüğümüzde korku, tiksinti ve ürperti gibi olumsuz duygular aklımıza
gelmektedir.  Fakat bu kötü etkilere
sebep olan türler böceklerin çok az kısmını oluşturmaktadır. Böcekler,
yeryüzünde doğal dengenin korunmasında, besin olarak tüketilmesinin yanı sıra
besin üretimine yardımcı olarak diğer canlılara faydalı olmaktadır. Böcekler
olmasaydı, bitkiler arasında tozlaşma ve üreme oranı azalır ve bitki
popülasyonu da önemli derece azalırdı. Bitkilerin azalmasıyla insanların ve
hayvanların, yeterli besin bulamamasına neden olurdu. Böcekler toprak ve çevre
sağlığı, biyolojik kontrol, boya maddesi, gıda boyası, popüler kültür ve sanat,
ticaret, adli olayların aydınlatılması, bilimsel çalışmalar, tıp ve ilaç yapımı
dahil olmak üzere yaşamın birçok alanında etkilidir. Ortaöğretim
dokuzuncu sınıf  ikinci dönem
müfredatında yer alan biyoloji ders kitaplarında böcekler hakkında eğitim
verilmektedir. Böceklerin hayatımızdaki önemi yatsınamaz olduğu halde insanlar
tarafından tüksinilen, korkulan canlılar olarak görülmesi böcekler hakkında
bilgi yetersizliği olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu nedenle böcekler hakkında
müfredat gereği çok az yer alan böcek bilgisi öğrencilerin yaşadıkları sosyal
çevre, aile ve aldıkları eğitime bağlı olarak böcekler hakkında yeterli bilgi
ve farkındalık yaratıp yaratmadığı araştırma hedefleri doğrultusundadır.
Araştırmada biyoloji bilimine ve dersine yönelik tutumların böcek farkındalık
düzeyleri üzerine etkisi olup olmadığı amaçlanmaktadır. Bu çalışma sayesinde ortak yaşam alanına sahip olduğumuz
canlılara saygılı, çevresini tanıyan, doğanın dengesini koruyan, kimyasal madde
kullanımını azaltan, yerlere çöp atmayan, organik tarımı destekleyen,
böceklerin doğa ve insanlar için zarardan çok faydalarının farkında olup
onlardan korkmayan öğrencilerin yetiştirilebileceği düşünülmektedir
“Doing Good” Scholarship: Considerations for Building Positive Social Change Through the Emerging Field of Public Interest Communications
Authors: Downes Edward
Published: October 2018

Recognizing the birth and potential of the emerging field of public interest communications (PIC), and building on Fessmann’s work summarizing the field’s foci presented elsewhere in this journal, this article offers 10 considerations for PIC’s proponents to think about as the field’s body of knowledge begins to grow. These considerations suggest we consider that: doing good is a relative concept; interdisciplinary scholarship has great value; understanding practitioners’ lives in the field will enhance PIC scholarship; organizing PIC scholars will empower them; social media empower advocacy; a humanistic philosophy should drive the field’s research and teaching; multiple actors in the public policy process influence PIC; and being a do-gooder might not be such a bad thing.
Searching for City Hall, Digital Democracy, and Public-Making Rhetoric: U.S. Municipal Websites and Citizen Engagement
Authors: Lambiase Jacqueline Johnson
Published: October 2018

U.S. cities rely on their websites to enhance citizen engagement, and digital government portals have been promoted for decades as gateways to participatory democracy. This study, through rhetorical and qualitative content analyses, focuses on 200 municipal homepages from 2017 and the ways they invite participation through public-making rhetoric. The findings reveal very few cities have: platforms for interactive discussions; representations of citizen activities; or ways to call citizens into being for the important work of shared governance.

Through a case study of a transnational advocacy network, this research employs a thematic analysis of in-depth interviews with 40 activists, exploring positivity and solutions-based information for social change. This study contributes to the new body of literature on public interest communications, opening up theoretical and methodological arenas in understanding how activists plan and execute strategic communication.
Identity, Visibility & Measurement: How University LGBTQ Centers Engage and Advocate for Today’s LGBTQ Student
Authors: Mundy Dean
Published: October 2018

For many of today’s LGBTQ college students, college exists at the epicenter of their identity development, and these students have new questions and expectations of their institutions. This study, through in-depth interviews with LGTBQ center directors at 11 major public universities in 10 U.S. states, investigates who these students are and how universities engage and advocate for them. Centers’ missions remain focused on support, education, and advocacy, but they are addressing new dynamics regarding identity, visibility, and measurement. Centers must move beyond the explicit LGBTQ categories and address students’ intersections of identity. Centers also must balance visibility that protects student privacy in a social media age while serving as a public source of support. Finally, programs need data to drive support for resources, but gathering these data has unique challenges for the LGBTQ community.
Measurement of Indoor Radon Concentration in Dalat area
Authors: Le Huy Viet
Published: October 2018

A significant contribution to natural exposure of humans is radon gas, which emanates from the soil and may concentrate in dwellings. The level of radon exposure varies around the globe, but limited data are available on the daily variations of indoor radon concentrations. In this study, indoor radon measurements were performed continuously within one week at six different places in Dalat, Vietnam using the real time Smart Radon Detector Radon Eye+. The indoor radon behavior in a day follows a sine pattern, with peak values in the early morning and lowest values in the late afternoon. There are also some fluctuations at specific times due to different weather conditions. Indoor radon concentrations in the Dalat regions were found to exceed the recommended guidelines and thresholds; excessive radon levels warranting health concern were found (150.7-340.0 Bq/m3). Some corrective actions to reduce indoor radon concentrations were recommended. Annual effective doses on different age categories were also calculated.
Measuring inflation expectations in Russia using stock market data
Authors: Zhemkov M. , Kuznetsova O.
Published: October 2018

This paper is devoted to the measurement of inflation expectations in Russia based on stock market data for the period from July 2015 to December 2016. It calculates the difference between the yields of the nominal and inflation-indexed government bonds and adjusts it to the inflation risk premium and liquidity risk premium to obtain inflation expectations. This net indicator represents inflation expectations of the participants of the stock market. The estimated inflation expectations can be used to analyze the effectiveness of the information policy.
Inter-industry effects from Russian trade integration into the EAEU
Authors: Galimov D. , Gnidchenko A. , Sabelnikova E. , Salnikov V.
Published: October 2018

В статье с использованием методологии межотраслевого анализа уточняются представления о значимости отраслей в качестве потребителей и производителей промежуточной продукции и оценивается влияние интеграции в торговле товарами со странами Евразийского экономического союза (ЕАЭС) на выпуск и отдельные экономические показатели для России по видам деятельности. Показано, что структура выгод от торговой интеграции трансформируется при переходе к анализу в терминах добавленной стоимости: в химическом комплексе и машиностроении выгоды сокращаются, несмотря на сохранение лидирующих позиций этих отраслей, а в сфере услуг и промежуточных производствах, и прежде всего в добыче полезных ископаемых, - напротив, растут.
An Asian era with the Euro-Atlantic civilization as a background?
Authors: Kolodko G. W.
Published: October 2018

For years, the view has been repeated that Asia’s age is coming, and thus the position of both Europe and the United States is declining. The main factor behind these tectonic shifts in relative economic power and the associated geopolitical situation is the nearly four decades of rapid growth of Chinese economy. The achievements of other Southeast Asian countries, especially India, with robust growth are also meaningful with this regard. The article verifies these views and analyzes the different aspects of China’s confrontation with Europe and North America. The Asian dominance era is not coming, yet a relatively stronger position of the East at the cost of a weakening position of the West is emerging. Hence, a new multi-polar arrangement of forces in the global economy, without a hegemon, is being created.
On retroeconomy
Authors: Papava V.
Published: October 2018

This paper analyzes the problem of technological backwardness of economy. In many mostly developing countries their economies use obsolete technologies. This can create the illusion that this or that business is prosperous. At the level of international competition, however, it is obvious that these types of firms do not have any chance for success. Retroeconomics as a theory of technological backwardness and its detrimental effect upon a country’s economy is considered in the paper. The role of the government is very important for overcoming the effects of retroeconomy. The phenomenon of retroeconomy is already quite deep-rooted throughout the world and it is essential to consolidate the attention of economists and politicians on this threat.
The impact of state development institutionson the innovative behavior of firms: qualitative effects
Authors: Simachev Y. , Kuzyk M.
Published: October 2018

Basing on a series of in-depth interviews with top executives of Russian innovation companies, the paper analyzes qualitative effects generated by the support from the state development institutions. Non-financial impacts, in particular, changes in firms’ innovation behavior, turned out to be quite significant. At the same time, tightening of formal control of the development institutions increases the risks and costs faced by the supported companies. We have identified two models of firms’ innovation behavior associated with different demand for public support instruments. These models are conditioned not so much to firms’ characteristics, but rather by the values of top managers and their views on appropriate forms of state intervention in innovation processes.
Overcoming stereotypes in leasing
Authors: Gazman V.
Published: October 2018

If we want securitization to become one of the main channels to attract funding in leasing activity, as the Bank of Russia predicts, one needs to revise some stereotypes. Relying on foreign and domestic research, the author gives a critical assessment of the postulate of the need for uniformity of securitized assets; proves that real estate, contrary to the traditional approach, rather than equipment and transport, prevails in securitization transactions, and explains why this happens. The article presents a new perspective on the behavior of issu- ers concerning the timing of securities circulation; considers feasibility approach to the calculation of variable character of leverage in leasing; explains pro and contra of evaluating the leasing market based on the volume of the portfolio of contracts; reveals the validity of ratings of bonds issued in the course of secu- ritization of leasing assets.
