Political Economy of Discretionary Transfers: A Dynamic Panel Data analysis of Indian States
Authors: Nayak Chittaranjan , PriyabrataSatpathy .
Published: August 2018

Intergovernmental transfers are a major instrument to ensure smooth functioning of ‘Fiscal federalism’ in India. But the mechanism of Central transfers in India seems to be confusing and overlapping. Although a formula-based practice has been mandated by the Indian Constitution, there are several breaks in the practice. While predetermined formulas are used for some transfers, there is considerable discretion in allocating other classes of transfers. This paper makes an attempt to focus on the determinants that influence the quantum of discretionary transfer to sub-national governments from a political economy perspective. Taking a panel data set of 28 states for the period 2001 to 2011, and by using Arrellana-Bover (1995)/ Blundell-Bond (1998) system estimation model, the paper observes that the chosen variables do explain disparity in Central fund disbursement under non formulaic discretionary head in a robust way. The study has analysed the results separately for SCS and NSCS and in combine. The findings of the study reveal that the chosen variables have different outcomes for SCS and NSCS. However, when SCS and NSCS states are combined, the variables like fiscal capacity, fiscal performance and coalition status are found to be significant.
Standard method for microCT-based additive manufacturing quality control 1: Porosity analysis v1
Authors: Du Plessis Anton
Published: August 2018

MicroCT is a well-established technique that is used to analyze the interior of objects non-destructively, and it is especially useful for void or porosity analysis. Besides its widespread use, few standards exist and none for additive manufacturing as yet. This is due to the inherent differences in part design, sizes and geometries, which results in different scan resolutions and qualities. This makes direct comparison between different scans of additively manufactured parts almost impossible. In addition, different image analysis methodologies can produce different results. In this method paper, we present a simplified 10 mm cube-shaped coupon sample as a standard size for detailed analysis of porosity using microCT, and a simplified workflow for obtaining porosity information. The aim is to be able to obtain directly comparable porosity information from different samples from the same AM system and even from different AM systems, and to potentially correlate detailed morphologies of the pores or voids with improper process parameters. The method is applied to two examples of different characteristic types of voids in AM: sub-surface lack of fusion due to improper contour scanning, and tree-like pores growing in the build direction. This standardized method demonstrates the capability for microCT to not only quantify porosity, but also identify void types which can be used to improve AM process optimization.
KETERDIDIKAN PEREMPUAN DAN WACANA KESETARAAN DALAM NOVEL INDONESIA PRA-BALAI PUSTAKA
Authors: Yulianeta Yulianeta
Published: August 2018

This research rests on the phenomenon that literary works are not born from cultural vacuum and social emptiness. The pre-Balai Pustaka Indonesian novels mark the public's awareness of the importance of education so that it cannot be separated from its social cultural system. The issue of the importance of women's education and equality discourse has been spawned in pre-Balai Pustaka Indonesian novels. This is important to be reflected as an effort to enrich the literary treasures of Indonesia that often side-stepped pre-Balai Pustaka literary works. Three pre-Balai Pustaka Indonesia novels that raise issues of women's education and equality discourse show the concern of Indonesian authors on issues related to women's education. This research seeks to explore the discourse of equality in three pre-Balai Pustaka Indonesian novels buried in the course of Indonesian literature. Therefore, feminist literary criticism and gender perspective are used. The results of this study contribute to the world of Indonesian literature, especially the activities of Indonesian literary criticism that reflect the presence of pre-Balai Pustaka Indonesia novels for the development of literary criticism in the present time and the future.

Rancang Bangun Sistem Pengukur Kecepatan Kendaraan Menggunakan Sensor Magnetik
Authors: Ramdhani Aris , Aminudin Ahmad , Danawan Agus
Published: August 2018

Data kecepatan kendaran di jalan raya sangat berpengaruh bagi keamanan dan keselamatan pengguna jalan raya. Kemajuan tekhnologi sensor sangat membantu dalam mengukur kecepatan kendaraan dengan otomatis. Metode yang umum dipakai ialah metode dengan menggunakan dua buah rangkaian sensor yang sudah diatur pada jarak tertentu. Sensor digunakan sebagai pendeteksi keberadaan kendaraan. Data kecepatan kendaraan didapatkan dengan mencari selang waktu yang dibutuhkan kendaraan melaju dari sensor pertama menuju sensor kedua. Saat kendaraan melaju melewati sensor maka sinyal keluaran sensor menjadi acuan perhitungan waktu start dan stop. Berbagai jenis sensor yang sudah digunakan ialah sensor LDR, sensor ultrasonic, sensor laser, sensor loop induktif dan sensor kamera. Setiap sensor yang sudah dipergunakan memiliki berbagai jenis kekurangan dalam mendeteksi kendaraan pada jalan raya. Oleh karena itu penulis memunculkan ide baru dengan menggunakan sensor magnetik yang memiliki faktor gangguan eksternal yang rendah. Sensor magnetik yang digunakan ialah sensor Giant MagnetoResistance (GMR). Perancangan sistem pengukur kecepatan kendaraan yang penulis lakukan berupa sebuah prototype. Hasil pengujian sistem pengukur kecepatan kendaraan menggunakan sensor magnetik GMR menunjukan respon yang bagus saat pengujian dilakukan pada jarak 30cm dan 70cm antara dua buah sensor GMR.Data speed of vehicles on the highway are very influential to the security and safety of users of the highway. Advances in sensor technology is very helpful in measuring the speed of vehicles with automatic. A common method used is the method by using two sensor circuit which is set at a certain distance. The sensor is used as a detector for the exixtance of the vehicle. Vehicle speed data obtained by finding the time required vehicles drove from the first sensor to the second sensor. When the vehicle drove past the sensor, the sensor output signal to be a reference calculation start and stop time. Many types of sensors that have been used are LDR sensors, ultrasonic sensors, laser sensors, inductive loop sensors and camera sensors. Each of the sensor is already used to have various types of shortcomings in detecting vehicles on highways. Therefore, the authors bring up new ideas by using a magnetic sensor that has a low external noise factor. The type of sensor used magnetic sensor is giant magnetoresistance (GMR). Measuring system design vehicle speed that the author did such a prototype. The results of testing measuring vehicle speed using the GMR sensor showed a good response when testing is done at a distance of 30cm and 70cm between the two GMR sensors.

Authors: Pyati Sudharani A , Naveen Kumar R , Kumar Vinod , Praveen Kumar N H , Parveen Reddy K M
Published: August 2018

Objectives: To measure and compare the levels of salivary flow rate, pH, buffering capacity, total protein, malondialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) between caries active and caries free children and to study the correlation between the DMFS/dfs score and above salivary parameters in caries active children. Study design: 50 caries active (DMFS/dfs ≥ 5) and 50 caries free (DMFS/dfs = 0) children aged between 6 to 12 years were included in the study. From all the children, unstimulated, mid-morning saliva samples were collected and salivary flow rate was calculated. Salivary pH, buffering capacity, total protein, MDA and TAC were measured. Results: The mean levels of salivary flow rate, pH, buffering capacity were significantly decreased (p < 0.05) and total protein, MDA and TAC were significantly increased (p < 0.05) in caries active children when compared to caries free controls. There was a proportionate decrease (p < 0.05) in salivary flow rate, pH and buffering capacity and proportionate increase (p > 0.05) in salivary total protein, MDA and TAC as DMFS/dfs score increased in caries active children. Conclusions: Significant alteration in the levels of salivary flow rate, pH, total proteins, MDA and TAC and their correlation with DMFS/dfs score in caries active children suggest, the levels of these physico-chemical properties of saliva can act as strong indicators of caries status in children.
Espaços infraestruturais e vacância: traços diacrónicos da produção do território metropolitano de Lisboa
Authors: Santos João Rafael
Published: August 2018

A formação do território metropolitano de Lisboa assentou numa complexa articulação entre o suporte fisiográfico e hidrográfico e o traçado de diversas redes infraestruturais, nomeadamente rodoviárias e ferroviárias, aterros e espaços portuários, limites e estruturas militares. Dessa articulação resultaram espaços de interface com tecidos urbanos de diversa natureza. A sua reconstituição e interpretação cartográfica permite descodificar as lógicas subjacentes aos processos de territorialização que, frequentemente, coexistem e se sobrepõem, resultantes também de alterações de uso e de racionalidade programática. Numa perspetiva diacrónica, revelam-se os traços da sua transformação: adições, justaposições, mas também persistências, subtrações e demolições. Alguns resultam fragmentados e desagregados, restos de estruturas que se perderam no esteio de mudanças tecnológicas e funcionais, descontinuados no espaço e no tempo. Espaços vacantes na atualidade, constituem áreas de oportunidade para intervenções tópicas, temporárias e imprevistas em lógicas de maior formalidade. Neste sentido, o artigo propõe uma leitura dos processos de infraestruturação do território metropolitano de Lisboa, sublinhando aqueles que contribuem para a estruturação de dois sistemas territoriais específicos: a formação de solo portuário e industrial (Lisboa e Barreiro) e a circunscrição militar e definição de arcos de circulação e transporte (Cintura Alcântara-Xabregas e Circunvalação Algés-Sacavém).
Morfologia da cidade perfurada: padrões espaciais de ruínas e terrenos vacantes em cidades portuguesas
Authors: Brito Henriques Eduardo , Morgado Paulo , Cruz David
Published: August 2018

Este artigo analisa as consequências do encolhimento urbano na forma da cidade. O estudo baseia-se num inventário das ‘perfurações’ no tecido urbano geradas pelo abandono – i.e., os espaços arruinados e vacantes – em quatro cidades portuguesas em declínio demográfico. Os resultados comprovam que ruínas e terrenos vacantes são presenças comuns nessas paisagens urbanas. No total, 7,8% da área urbana das quatro cidades corresponde a ‘perfurações’, mas em algumas cidades essa proporção chega aos 32%. O estudo demonstra que as ‘perfurações’ geradas pelo abandono tendem a ocorrer dispersa e um pouco inesperadamente nas cidades, tanto em posições centrais como periféricas. A extensão e dispersão das ‘perfurações’ parece variar consoante a cidade é mais ou menos densa e o encolhimento é mais ou menos antigo ou foi mais ou menos severo.

Após o momento de choque que Portugal sofreu com o incêndio de Pedrogão Grande (2017), equacionar as dimensões e responsabilidade social da Geografia torna -se especialmente relevante na construção de respostas capazes de assegurar a defesa das pessoas, dos bens e dos recursos naturais. Neste artigo reflecte -se sobre uma relação causa -efeito -solução a estabelecer para a prevenção de incêndios florestais que articula a geografia da energia com o planeamento municipal. Trata -se de uma reflexão crítica sobre adimensão estratégica do planeamento, materializada no Plano Director Municipal e os possíveis contributos do aproveitamento e valorização da biomassa florestal, com vista ao desenvolvimento de clusters municipais ligados à bioenergia. É aqui que os mecanismos de limpeza e recolha de resíduos florestais para a produção de energia renovável emergem como valência económica indispensável para um maior contributo na prevenção activa do risco de incêndio, preconizando um novo eixo estratégico para a redução da sua incidência e melhorando o ordenamento do território a nível municipal.

Published: August 2018

The economy of Pakistan is significantly contributed by the pharmaceutical industry which is growing at a rapid rate. For pharmaceutical industry doctor is one of the most important stakeholders because he is the ultimate decision maker rather than the direct user. Pharmaceutical industry focuses on doctors rather than the direct users; BTL i.e. below the line marketing strategy is the basis of marketing in pharmaceutical industry, the importance of sales promotion officers as a marketing technique in pharmaceutical industry cannot be denied and ignored. In order to reach the doctors i.e. the prescribers, pharmaceutical industry takes the help of sales promotion officers that constitutes a major place in pharmaceutical marketing strategies. The connection of pharmaceutical industry with physicians is controversial due to the involvement of personal benefits and clash between money and ethics. Trust is one of the fundamental factors of patient-physician relationships, despite of its recognized significance and efforts to measure patient trust have been quite insufficient. This study investigates the patients’ perspective regarding the sales promotion by pharmaceutical industry, it highlights the viewpoint of one of the most important stakeholders of health care industry i.e. the patients regarding the matter. Questionnaire was used as the research tool to collect the primary data from patients, 100 questionnaires were filled up from a hospital of Karachi.

In order to update knowledge on the spatio-temporal evolution of Thaumatotibia leucotreta, the geographical areas and seasons of predilection of adult and larval populations have been studied in the last six years from 2012 to 2017. Monitoring of natural adult populations revealed that populations were more abundant in the southern cotton production area as compared to the north. A Monitoring of larval infestations showed that infestations occurred on cotton at the end of august (0.10 larvae/100 bolls) and increased gradually during october-november (0.31 to 0.93 larvae/100 bolls), indicating a strong relationship between evolution of adult and larval populations and cotton phenology. Early sowings exhibited higher infestation levels (0.87 larvae/100 bolls). Annual variations of pest infestation levels increased from years to years, from 0.23 to 0.49 larvae/100 bolls over the study period. Mapping the geographic distribution of infestations showed highest pest densities in the southern zone, mostly in surrounding areas of Boron (1.52 larvae/100 bolls). With regard to the emerging status of T. leucotreta over recent years, the current pyrethroid resistance management strategy deserves to be improved on the basis of the pest geographic and seasonal profiles.

The objective of this study was to calculate the cost savings as a result of bortezomib vial sharing in the University Hospital Center “Mother Teresa” Tirana. This study was a retrospective analysis of the use of bortezomib in patients with multiple myeloma, using vial sharing technique to minimize wastage. The study has been conducted during the period January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015 before vial sharing and January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016 after vial sharing, thereby enabling us to share vial contents between patients. We compared the cost in euro for the treatment with bortezomib in order to determine the cost savings of vial sharing and cost-efficacy of individualised preparation. As a result, the cost savings for one cycle/patient using vial sharing was calculated 226.81 euro, a reduction of 25.96% compared to the period when we did not use vial sharing. During January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015 the average treatment cost was calculated 873.36 euro/cycle/patient, compared with January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016 when it was calculated 646.55 euro/cycle/patient. Due to cost savings of each treatment cycle we administered 62 individualised preparations of bortezomib more during January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016 for the same budget allocated. The same approach should be adopted for other suitable drugs prepared in the University Hospital Center “Mother Teresa” Tirana.

The abusive use of synthetic pesticides in the phytosanitary protection of cotton in Côte d'Ivoire threatens the viability of the production system. The search for alternative control methods is therefore necessary. Phytosanitary strategies involving plant-based biopesticides have been explored. The insecticidal activity of essential oils of plant species of the genus Ocimum has been the subject of numerous investigations. The objective of this study is to compare the insecticidal potential of two species of the same genus Ocimum gratissimum and O. canum on a major cotton pest, the pink worm Pectinophora gossypiella. Adults of the insect were exposed in the laboratory to the toxic effect of different concentrations of these oils by topical application using a micro applicator. The lethal concentrations causing respectively 50 % (LC50) and 90% (LC90) death in the populations tested were determined for each of the essential oils. The oil extracted from O. gratissimum was the most toxic with LC50 and LC90 respective values of 1.01 % and 5.05 % as compared to O. canum (LC50 = 11.33 % and LC90= 30.04 %). The high toxicity of O. gratissimum may be explained by the presence of 24.57 % thymol and 37.79 % p-cimene in its chemical composition. The extract of O. gratissimum has shown in laboratory the highest potentiel insecticidal activity, it‘s field use can therefore be suggested for the control of this cotton pest.

Vegetation in sub-Saharan countries is under heavy pressure from anthropogenic activities and climatic deterioration. This study was carried out at Keur Birame and Saré Yorobana villages, which are two edaphoclimatically contrasting localities. The aim of this study is to characterize their flora and woody vegetation. In doing so, 178 vegetation survey of 2500m² each were carried out on all two sites consisting of nine facies of vegetation. The results show a flora of the two soils of 93 species belonging to 80 genera and distributed to 33 botanical families. Among this richness, 78 species belong to Saré Yorobana and 45 species to Keur Birame. Except for regeneration rates (37.30% and 94.04%), all structural parameters studied are higher at Saré Yorobana and the similarity index (0.48) indicates that the two vegetal communities are floristically different. The ligneous stems are generally young with small diameter that hides facies imbalances due to human activities. It would require the various actors synergy to keep trees and biodiversity in the fields and terroirs.

The novel oxovanadium(IV) complexes, [VIVO(GlyH)(Gly)]+ClO4 - .H2O (1), [VIVO(GlyH)(Gly)]+NO3 - .H2O (2), [VIVO(GlyH)(Gly)]+CH3COO- .H2O (3) were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis and 1H NMR spectroscopic measurements. The cumulative spectroscopic assessment envisaged that, the complexes adopt a square pyramidal structure, in which the two glycine ligands coordinate to vanadium(IV) center in bidentate fashions conforming a homoleptic structure. The amino nitrogen and a carboxylato oxygen atom coordinate the vanadium(IV) center from both sides making a five members chelate by each side. All the complexes are stable in amorphous state and in aerobic and anaerobic solution. Significantly, all the complexes have the antifungal activities against Aspergillus niger and Penicillium notatum but ineffective against Candida tropicalis. No antibacterial activity was observed for the complexes against tested bacteria and unfortunately, they were found cytotoxic against brine shrimp bioassay.

The development of bio-analytical methods for monitoring microorganisms have created opportunities for applications in biosensors, bioprocess monitoring, assessment of cell signalling, analysis of drug responses, among several others. The voltammetric sensing system employed for studying the electrode behavior of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum comprised working (gold) electrode (0.2 cm2 ) platinum as counter electrode (0.2 cm2 ) and a saturated calomel as the reference, where the electrochemical response corresponded to the growth phases (lag, log, stationary and decline) of the fungus. The electrochemical method based on voltammetric response matched well with the response obtained through conventional methodology, where the dry weight of the fungus is estimated against time. The peak potential is a function of scan rate, which is one of the characteristic features of a totally irreversible electrode process. It is important to mention here that this dependence is true regardless of reversibility for any diffusing redoxactive species. The proposed electrochemical method is less cumbersome and more accurate. Furthermore, the proposed electrochemical method captures the decline phase of fungal growth, which is generally difficult using the conventional method of assessment of the growth curve. Further experiments confirm that the anodic peaks were not due to the biomass or the fungal spores and only due to the extracellular metabolites. However, at this stage it is difficult to exactly determine the metabolite or the group of metabolites that are responsible for the anodic peak. In conclusion this cytosensor is capable of accurately and rapidly quantifying fungi with Fusarium oxysporum as a model organism.

In order to find the strategies to ensure the sustainable management of natural’s resources and especially woody plants in the Congo Basin, a study was carried out on the floristic diversity of woody plants and the structure of Garcinia kola formations in the Centre and East regions of Cameroon. A total of 39 quadrats of 40 m x 40 m were installed in the Garcinia kola formations in these two regions. In each plot, we identified and counted all individuals with a dbh ≥ 10 cm. Seedlings of G. kola (dbh<10 cm) were also counted in all the plots. The height and diameter of each individual were measured. ANOVA was used to compare the density averages of the different plots, and the DUNCAN test at 5% significance level (XLSTAT 2017) was used to separate these mean values. This study confirms that the Clusiaceae (G. kola) forms the floristic background of the stand studied. The surveys revealed a total of 196 species, 156 species (H '= 2.98) and 68 species (H' = 2.13), respectively, identified in the East and Centre among the population of individuals showing dbh ≥ 10 cm. They were distributed into 124 genera and 46 families. The most diversified families in G. kola formations are Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Meliaceae, Sterculiaceae, Moraceae, Anacardiaceae, Apocynaceae, Annonaceae, Rutaceae, Rubiaceae, and Clusiaceae. The average standing density of G. kola varies from 6.51 (East Region) to 40.72 (Centre Region) stems per hectare. The low density observed in the localities of the eastern region can be explained by the pressure exerted on this species in the natural environment linked mostly to methods of exploitation.

The Tanoe-Ehy Forest, located in the South-Eastern of the Côte d’Ivoire is one of the rare forest cover of this type that still exists in the Country. These Forest was identified as a top priority site for conservation in West Africa. However, this important forest is subject to strong anthropogenic pressures which through poaching, uncontrolled takeoffs of natural resources and some agricultural clearing. A Botanical study based on plots, itinerant and linear inventory conducted in this forest intends to assess the plant species diversity and the conservation value for biodiversity of this forest. At the end of the study, 432 plant species were recorded. Among them, 14 are listed on endemic of Upper Guinea and 16 threatened and endangered list of species. Concerning the species threatened and endangering, 3 species are really in endangering (Hemandradenia chevalieri, Tieghemella heckelii, Irvingia gabonensis) and 13 others are a category of vulnerable species. A Sassandrian species of type II (Piptostigma fugax) was also observed. The dominant species of the forest are Symphonia globulifera and Uapaca paludosa. Concerning the vegetation condition, the swamp forest, the dry land forest and the raphiale vegetation have a high conservation value.

This article aimed to analyze student dropout and factors associated with the permanence of students enrolled in the first cycles at the Universidad Privada del Norte (UPN), Trujillo campus (Peru), during the academic period between 2008 and 2012. To this effect, a Service Satisfaction Survey (SSS) was applied, as well as information was collected from the enrollment unit. The data analysis consisted of calculating the Semiannual Desertion Index (SDI) and assessing the relationship among different factors of the SSS. The results revealed an annual increase in SDI. Student permanence is predicted based on student satisfaction, by guaranteeing academic and infrastructure quality. It is concluded that student dropout has negative consequences for the institution; it is necessary, therefore, to identify other factors that predict student retention.
