Authors: Li Haoxuan , Wen Haifei , Zhang Zhijun , Song Nan , Wang Dong , Tang Ben Zhong
Published: June 2020

Development of efficient photothermal nanofibers is of vital importance, but remaining a big challenge. Herein, with reverse thinking of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) principle, we demonstrate an ingenious and universal protocol for amplifying molecular motions to boost photothermal efficiency of nanofibers. Core-shell nanofibers having the olive oil solution of AIE-active molecules as the core surrounded by PVDF-HFP shell were constructed by coaxial electrospinning. The molecularly dissolved state of AIE-active molecules allows them to freely rotate and/or vibrate in nanofibers upon photoexcitation and thus significantly elevates the proportion of non-radiative energy dissipation, affording impressive heat-generating efficiency.

Published: June 2020

El queso es el producto elaborado con la cuajada de la leche, los cuales pueden ser frescos, madurados ó procesados. Estos productos deben cumplir con los criterios de las normas establecidas. Actualmente, en el mercado se pueden encontrar alternativas, tales como los quesos “veganos”. El propósito del presente trabajo fue evaluar el etiquetado nutrimental de los diferentes tipos de quesos de origen lácteo y “quesos veganos” expendidos en el mercado. Los quesos son alimentos proteicos encontrándose entre 5 y 25 g/100 g dependiendo si el queso es fresco o madurado, mientras que los quesos veganos presentaron un contenido muy bajo de este nutrimento. El contenido de grasa fue similar entre los quesos estudiados y las diferencias con los quesos veganos fue la presencia del uso de aceite de coco. No hubo diferencia en el contenido de sodio y grasas entre los quesos lácteos y los productos veganos, además, no todas las marcas presentaron el contenido de calcio en el etiquetado. El uso de diferentes aditivos en donde es predominante el uso de gomas en la industria quesera. Por último, la variabilidad de precios fue muy amplia, siendo más caros los quesos “veganos”.

El queso es un producto proteico que puede formar parte de la dieta para alcanzar los requerimientos de este nutriente, sin embargo, en los últimos años se ha puesto de moda el consumo de quesos “veganos” justificando que son más saludables, estos, a diferencia de los quesos de origen animal, son elaborados con gomas, aceites de origen vegetal y tienen un bajo aporte proteico, además de que el aporte de sodio es alto y similar al de un queso elaborado con leche. Por lo que se debe considerar el consumo moderado de ambos productos, ya que pudiera tener efectos adversos a la salud.

Dynamics Modeling of CO2 in Oil Palm
Authors: Kii Meriana Ina , June Tania , Santikayasa I Putu
Published: June 2020

Oil palm plantation has a high potency to absorb carbon. Limited observed data and expensive instrumentations to measure the absorbed carbon have caused an inaccurate estimation of carbon storage from oil palm. The objectives of this research were to develop a CO2 absorption model, and to calculate the carbon cycle based on climate factors and plant age. CO2 absorption was derived from gross primary production (GPP) and net primary production (NPP), which were ​​based on solar radiation. From NPP we derived net ecosystem exchange (NEE) by calculating the difference between NPP and soil respiration. Our results showed that age of oil palm has influenced the CO2 absorption from 9.8 (1 year) to 117 tons ha-1 year-1 (19 years), with average of 86.5 tons ha-1 year-1 (over 25-year life cycle). We validated our NPP model with biomass that indicated a very good performance of the model with R2 0.95 and RMSE 1.81. Meanwhile, the performance of NEE model was slightly lower (R2 0.71 and 0.72, for wet and dry conditions), but the model had a similar pattern with the measured NEE. Based on the model performance, the findings imply that the model is useful to estimate CO2 absorption, where there is no eddy covariance measurement. This research suggests that carbon modeling will contribute to global terrestrial carbon modeling.

Published: June 2020

Reliable past trends of water requirements of individual crops and cropping patterns at local level, although crucially important for irrigation forecast and agricultural planning, are yet inadequate for the water-scarce Barind region of Bangladesh. This study, therefore, determined water requirements and their trends of eight major crops (aus, aman, boro, vegetables, mustard, sugarcane, wheat and potato) and six cropping patterns (aus–aman–boro, aus–aman–potato, aman–potato–fallow, vegetables–aman, aman–mustard–fallow and aus–fallow–wheat) of Bogura and Rajshahi districts of the Barind region. Water requirements were determined from crop, soil and weather data for the period 1985–2013 by using Soil-Water Balance via CropWat (SWBcropwat) model. Trends of rainfall, crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and irrigation requirement (IR) were determined with MAKESENS statistical tool. Monthly total rainfall revealed increasing trend in January, August and October but decreasing trend in the other months, with significant (p£0.05) trend in July in Bogura. Monthly total ETc decreased except in July and September, with significant trend in October–April/May. Seasonal ETc for the crops decreased significantly except for aman rice and sugarcane in Bogura and for aman rice in Rajshahi. ETc also decreased for the cropping patterns except for aman–mustard–fallow in Rajshahi. While effective rainfall (ER) for the crops and cropping patterns decreased only minimally, IR decreased significantly for boro, potato and vegetables in Bogura and for mustard and vegetables in Rajshahi. IR decreased for all cropping patterns, with significant trend for aus–aman–potato, aman–potato–fallow and vegetables–aman patterns. In response to changing cropping area, total volume of ETc increased gradually from 1985 to 2005 in Bogura and from 1985 to 2010 in Rajshahi for boro rice, but it decreased until 2005 before increasing for aus rice in both districts. After the year 2000, total volume of ETc decreased for wheat but increased for potato, indicating a shift from wheat to potato cultivation. Due to contrasting trends of ER and ETc and self-motivated shift in crop-choice, continuous adjustment of irrigation-based crop planning is necessary. The results of this study can guide future investigation for all other crops and cropping patterns to help planning agriculture of the study areas by choosing appropriate crops and cropping patterns based on available water resources.

The training needs of dairy cattle farmers in Oyo state, Nigeria were assessed. A well-structured interview schedule was used to obtain information from 123 respondents. Data were collected on socio-economic characteristics of the respondents, their dairy cattle production enterprises and their training needs which were ascertained in six major areas of cattle production: feeding, breeding, healthcare, housing and management, marketing and finance, product preparation and processing. Data were subjected to descriptive statistics and regression analysis using SPPS (V.21). Results revealed that most (30.1%) of the respondents were 24 – 29 years old, married, were male, had no formal education. Results also revealed that more than 90% of dairy cattle farmers perceived the training needs in feeding as most important. The training index in dairy farming indicated that majority (91.8%) of the farmers needed to be trained more on dairy cattle production and management. Based on the result of this study, it was concluded that breeding, feeding and health care were perceived as the “most needed” training by the respondents. Although, training need in marketing and finance, milk preparation and processing, as well as housing and management were also perceived as important. Furthermore age, sex, marital status, religion, education level, source of flock, purpose of production and breeds of cattle had a direct effect on training needs of the respondent while occupation, household, herd size, had an indirect effect on training need of the respondents.

Authors: MAMMAN Mohammed JIYA
Published: June 2020

The result of long time farming and poor soil management and conservation practices at Niger state college of Agriculture Mokwa Commercial farm which is the study area has led to serious soil degradation like nutrient depletion and soil erosion. There is the need for local content research and innovation to ameliorate the problem. This research work described the effect of organic manure and inorganic fertilizer (poultry manure, Cow dung and NPK fertilizer) on some soil physical properties i.e. the infiltration, porosity, bulk density and erodibility on a sandy loam soil of Mokwa North Central Nigeria. Four treatments of poultry, cow dung manure, NPK 15:15:15 fertilizer and non – application were applied in RCBD with 25t/ha of poultry manure and cow dung while NPK 15:15:15 was 150kg/ha and non- application as control replicated three times. Soil physical properties were measured and analyses were done to ascertain the soil aggregates. Ring infiltrometers were constructed and used to test the infiltration rate of the soil at each plot before soil treatments. Measurements were taken at time intervals for all the plots. The plots were then treated with manure and NPK and left for two weeks to decompose, after which infiltration measurements were taken again. Minitab 17 and Excel were used for the analysis. The cow Dung manure shows highest infiltration rate as compared to other treatments. The experiment shows that Cow Dung and poultry manure can be used to correct infiltration and soil physical anomalies especially when soil is compacted or clayey.

The idea of integrating Islamic values in non-religion subjects is still in the process of shaping its format. Many possibilities and flexibilities of the integration are existing and practiced by English teachers at Islamic Junior High Schoolâ€”knowingly as Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs). Also, in the middle of endless idea of integration, teachers have been trying to apply the integration based on their beliefs and situation. This study outlines the teachersâ€™ best practices on integrating Islamic values in English lesson at MTs in Jawa Timur. By using descriptive qualitative method, this study portraits 6 English as Foreign Language (EFL) teachersâ€™ best practices. Data were taken from classroom observation, interview, and documentation which then were analysed as best practices. Best practices refer to the practice of integration which is considered as working practice from each teacherâ€™s situation. The situation was mostly influenced by teachersâ€™ lack of confidence to contextualize and operationalize the values into the teaching materials and activities, and the lack of model for integration. Further study on how to operationalize the integration, and on developing the model of integration will be worth exploring.

Published: June 2020

The need for preparing highly qualified teachers with all the quintessential pedagogical competencies has been acknowledged as a preeminent priority in the educational world. This present study is intended to scrutinize the EFL teachersâ€™ perspectives and preferences in the 21st century pedagogical competence. The study was qualitatively conducted as a case study to retrieve a reputable understanding of the phenomenon. A semi-structured interview and a five-Likert scale questionnaire were used to collect the necessary data.Â  The data of this study were taken from the purposively chosen informants regarding their familiarity and apprehension with the issue of this study. The results demonstrated that the teachers perceived the rapid development of technology and information as the key feature of the 21st-century learning, which is beneficial to furnish more comprehensive learning. Moreover, they predominantly conceived that the term 21st-century pedagogical competence focused on how teachers assimilate technology in the classroom and how to facilitate the studentsâ€™ creativity due to the widely opened sources of information which positively affect studentsâ€™ proficiency. It is suggested to consecutively provide more courses and training about confronting the 21st-century education to keep teachers voguish of any adjustments, innovations, and modifications in education.

Given this reality, exposes to different varieties of English rather than a single variety of English, preparing second language learners to Englishes is paramount for readiness to involve in ELF communication. This paper reports on the classroom instruction of exposing college listeners with Englishes via TED talks using a portfolio to find out how they see these varieties and what they can learn from them. Data were from records of portfolio and questions at the end of the instruction. Using general inductive analysis, there were three lessons learned from the instruction. Acknowledgement of many models of English, Englishes can be the â€˜rightâ€™ English, and Englishes as a marker of identity were lessons observed to appear from the Englishes exposure. The exposes to Englishes also brought about complexities of wholehearted adoption to Indonesian accent. Pedagogical implications for classroom instructions are also made.
Women’s Right, A Call for Life: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Pres. Donald Trump’s Speech for the 2020 March for Life
Authors: Salayo Juland D.
Published: June 2020

Political ideologies and power are shaped by politiciansâ€™ manipulation of linguistic features that appeared in their public discourses. Employing transitivity system, this study investigated President Donald Trumpâ€™s speech during the 2020 â€œMarch for Lifeâ€ to identify the transitivity processes and to determine how these processes are assimilated in the said discourse.Â  Findings revealed that 126 transitivity processes are dominantly material, relational, and mental.Â  Being the first US president who graced this event, material processes constructed a self-statement of initiatives and efforts in preserving human life and his attack on his political nemesis as threats to the preservation of the value and dignity of life. Relational processes have constructed life-protection ideas by valuing the significance of the children and the unborn.Â  Trumpâ€™s feelings toward the dignity of life are shaped by mental processes by his direct association to the public as among the advocates of human life. Â Ironically, transitivity processes have shown minimal involvement of women in his speech, contrary to the theme. Data prove that language employed in a public discourse builds power and ideologies that serve as the human framework to understand the mind of the speaker.

Authors: Vasilenkova Larisa Borisovna
Published: June 2020

The study aims to identify the thematic areas in which the Italian borrowings are used conjuring up the image of Italy, as well as to describe the functioning features of narration, description and argumentation in the travelogue. The subject matter of the article’s analysis comes down to such a linguistic feature of the travelogue as the system of borrowed words and word combinations adding colour to the speech (foreign-language inclusions, barbarisms, exotic words, i.e., borrowings) arranged into functional-semantic types of speech. The research is novel in that it treats the travelogue as a special type of the text in terms of its linguistic organisation, as well as it studies the distribution and functioning of Italicisms in this genre. As a result of analysing the Italicisms used in two books by the modern author A. V. Ippolitov, as well as their distribution, such thematic areas in which the foreign words are used as art, culinary art, city and other, evoking a new image of Italy among the Russian readers, are identified. The man (the narrator, the object of his reflection, as well as the narratee engaged in the story by means of the first-person narrative) becomes an essential part of this image creation.
