Published: September 2018

As we know traditional herbal medicines have been widely used around the world since the ancient times but most of the traditional herbal drugs and their extracts despite of their impressive in-vitro findings demonstrate less or negligible in-vivo activity due to their poor lipid solubility or improper molecular size, resulting in poor absorption and hence poor bioavailability. Poor bioavailability increases system clearance requiring repeated administration or higher dose, which makes the drug as a poor candidate for therapeutic use. Nanotechnology is bringing a new aspect in the field of scientific and technology and its application in healthcare that lead to development of novel drug delivery systems. Drug delivery system for herbal formulations based on applicative, nanotechnology has a potential future for enhancing the product efficacy and overcoming problem of slow or less absorption; associated with the herbal drugs. The marketed nano herbal products are Aegis. Lifepak Nano, Nano phyto proflex, Nano garcinia raspberry, Nano green coffee, Nano D3. Curcuma longa, Gymnema sylvestre, salvia miltiorrhiza, proteins and many more. Hence nano herbal drugs has become the broad view of new nanotech era for better and safer health care.

Published: September 2018

Concrete is composite material consists of Fine aggregate (F.A), Coarse Aggregate (C.A), Cement and Water in desired proportion to get desired strength. As the reaction between cement and water is exothermic reaction in which heat is liberated due to which water present in concrete is get evaporated this evaporation of water can hindered the reaction of cement and water therefore to overcome this problem we have to do curing of concrete member which can be done by two methods i) External Curing ii) Internal Curing.But Surface curing of Concrete member required huge amount of water which can be a big problem in water scarce areas so to overcome this problem we have to go through Internal Curing.This report represents a parametrical experimental study on the use of presaturated sawdust for getting the desired strength of concrete with optimum water cement ratio (0.45). Here presaturated sawdust is an Internal Curing Agent which will act as a source of internal curing which liberate water when needed. In this experimental study we had created different samples by replacing the mass of fine aggregate by presaturated saw dust in three replacement levels 4%, 8%, 12% respectively. These samples are placed in presence of normal conditions that is no curing provided. Compressive strength test is conducted.

Published: September 2018

Under the current conditions of market economy a higher education institution must increase considerably the efficiency of its educational activities control to improve its competitive ability. At present one of the most promising methods for educational process control reorganization is a business-process re-engineering. It is necessary to carry out a profound analysis of technologies for educational activities control and determine certain business-processes which require re-engineering. In the Bryansk State Technical University there is carried out a re-engineering of basic business processes of the admission campaign: a school leaver invitation, documentation reception, entrance examina-tions carrying out and their analysis, an enrollment for training.

To solve this problem there was used IDEF0 methodology and developed a functional model mani-festing a structure and functions of an information sys-tem, and also information flows connecting these func-tions. A decomposition of a complex system into more simple automated processes and sub-processes in order that each of them could be designed independently is carried out. The work fulfilled allowed realizing the re-engineering and automation of the admission campaign business-processes of the Bryansk State Technical University and ordering qualitatively the activities of the entrance commission that decreased labor expendi-tures at all stages of the admission campaign increased the effectiveness of the entrance commission activities and allowed making qualitative decisions affecting institution functioning on the whole.
Modeling the climatic suitability for Fopius arisanus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and its host fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae)
Authors: Lane Janet M. , Kumar Sunil , Yee Wee , Stark John
Published: September 2018

Releases of the parasitoid Fopius arisanus (Sonan) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) have significantly reduced fruit fly populations, especially for its preferred host Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae, Dacinae) in climatically suitable areas where the species
can become established for long-term control. The maximum entropy model (MaxEnt) was used to create niche models to find overlapping regions of climatic suitability for B. dorsalis and F. arisanus to pinpoint suitable release locations. Models for both species performed very
well. Temperature seasonality contributed the most to the fly model, followed by precipitation of the wettest quarter, which also had the highest gain for the parasitoid model. The calculated niche overlap between the two species was high. The parasitoid model had less climatic suitability
than for B. dorsalis. According to the fly model, parts of the Mediterranean, the Americas, most of Sub-Saharan Africa, northern China, and northern Australia are at risk for invasion. Suitable parasitoid release locations include parts of the Americas, regions of Sub-Saharan Africa,
and coastal Queensland. Previously proposed release locations in most of California, Peru, and Argentina were unsuitable.

Asymmetries during face encoding: Increaded dwell time and number of fixations in the upper visual hemifield
Authors: Felisberti Fatima Maria
Published: September 2018

Visual field asymmetries (VFAs) in the encoding of groups of faces has rarely been investigated. Here, eye movements (proportion of dwell time (pDT) and number of fixations (nFix)) were recorded during the encoding of three groups of four faces tagged with cheating, cooperative, or neutral behaviours. Faces in each group were placed either in the top left, top right, bottom left, or bottom right quadrants. Face recall was equally high in the three behavioural groups. Conversely, pDT and nFix were higher for faces in the upper hemifields. Most of the first saccades were made to the top left visual quadrant, which also commanded a higher pDT and nFix than the other quadrants. The findings are relevant to the understanding of VFAs in the processing of multiple faces, a common social scenario, and may be linked to reading habits in conjunction (or not) with cultural and environmental cues.
Appreciating diversity of goals in computational neuroscience
Authors: Kording Konrad , Blohm Gunnar , Schrater Paul , Kay Kendrick
Published: September 2018

Outsiders often perceive computational neuroscience as a coherent field that strives towards progressively better models of the brain. However, informal interactions with modelers often reveal wildly divergent goals. Here we explicitly address the diversity of goals that motivate and ultimately influence modeling efforts. We argue that a wide range of goals can be meaningfully taken to be of highest importance. A simple informal survey conducted on the Internet confirmed the diversity of goals in the community. We propose that many disagreements in evaluating the merit of computational research stem from differences in goals and not from the mechanics of constructing, describing, and validating models. We suggest that authors should state explicitly their goals when proposing models so that others can judge the quality of the research with respect to its goals.

Banyuwangi as the eastern end of the island of Java with its unique and interesting maritime natural nuance mainly due to its position in the South Coast Sea region. Although this positive value also has a negative impact due to Indonesia's geographical conditions located in areas prone to earthquakes and tsunamis, this is a result of the three seabed plates, namely the Eurasian Plate, the Indo Australia Plate and the Pacific Plate. The tsunami disaster finally came to Banyuwangi June 3, 1994 with a major impact on the socio-economic conditions of the maritime community, especially in the southern coastal area of Banyuwangi, namely Pesanggaran Subdistrict. Forests and beaches in Kecamatan Pesanggaran are still natural and very interesting and have the characteristics of each of them. After the disaster, the community prioritizes conditions as the beginning of the change. However, changes with additional assistance from the Banyuwangi District Government have not yet had an impact to strengthen the socio-economic conditions of the maritime community in Hamlet. This research is to find out about the socio-economic conditions of the maritime community in Pesanggaran Village with a unique and interesting place after the tsunami disaster until now. The results of the study are used as a reference and basis for consideration for the maritime community in the Ringinagung Village and the Banyuwangi Regency Government to hold a number of socio-economic reforms related to the world of tourism.

Still Hoping: The Relation of International Auxiliary Languages to Worldview and Perception
Authors: Zorrilla Natalia
Published: September 2018

Constructed international auxiliary languages (IALs) have been proposed to influence the cultural identities and world perspectives of their speakers. The creation of IALs surged in the late 19th century as a response to rising nationalism; through their sociopolitical neutrality and ease of learning, IALs sought to introduce unity to a divided world. Though IAL adoption remains limited, their speakers still believe that given the ability to spread, IALs could unite our global community. To examine group trends and individual perspectives in how IALs may influence identity and perception, I surveyed and interviewed an online Esperantist community. I also performed close reading of randomly-selected posts on online forums for Esperanto, Volapük, and Toki Pona, as well as the general forum Linguistics and Conlangs. Finally, I analyzed content for six months of posts from the Volapük and Toki Pona forums. Most speakers (68.8%) self-reported that IALs changed their perception and, fewer (34.4%), beliefs. Survey respondents and interviewees cited community membership, broader communication, and IALs’ simplified linguistic features as influences on their worldviews. Accordingly, more years speaking Esperanto, seeking and feeling part of Esperanto communities, and believing the world would be a better place with more IAL adoption significantly correlated with change in beliefs. Different IAL forums statistically differed in their content, interactivity, and post length, which may reflect language-influenced disparities. The results suggest that IALs may affect the beliefs of learners in relation to their community-building properties and widening of communication ranges and impact the perceptions of learners through their unique structures.
Science Blogs as Critique—Building Public Identities in the Field of Translational Research
Authors: Hendriks Barbara , Reinhart Martin
Published: September 2018

Clinician scientists are pivotal figures in translational research. Although the discourse on translational research is favorable to clinician scientists, their role within it and their view of themselves has received little attention. In this exploratory study, we attempt to analyze the view of clinician scientists on translational research by drawing on surveillance studies and the pragmatic sociology of critique and examining the potential for critique of science blogs. From analyzing science blogs and the blogging selves they represent, we find a fundamental dilemma of being torn between the two worlds of clinic and research. Although translational research seeks to support clinician scientists, it intensifies this conflict even further. The arguments of clinician scientist-bloggers are emotionally charged with feelings of contradiction, unpredictability, and skepticism. These feelings undergird a critical agenda that shows indignation as the result of being a pivotal figure in the discourse on translational research.
Hedonic Pricing of Cryptocurrency Tokens
Authors: Shorish Jamsheed
Published: September 2018

A cryptocurrency token offers a method of incentivizing behavior in a way that supports trusted interaction (through its blockchain-based infrastructure). It also acts as a multipurpose instrument that may fulfill a variety of roles, such as facilitating digital use cases or acting as a store of value. Understanding how to value such an instrument is complicated by these multiple roles because the relative valuation of one role cannot be disentangled from another role—a token is a ‘bundled’ good. In this work a general pricing model for cryptocurrency tokens is derived, based upon and extending the hedonic pricing framework of Rosen (1974) in a partial equilibrium framework. It is shown that individual roles (or characteristics) of a token may be priced by inverting in a special way the relationship between the token’s aggregate quantity and its provision of characteristics. Interaction between a monopolistic token seller and a representative buyer results in an equilibrium that clears both the aggregate token market and the characteristic market. Particular attention is given to the case in which a token possesses a security role, as this has been a focus of existing discussions regarding the regulation of the cryptocurrency market.

Published: September 2018

Vor dem Hintergrund der Debatte um die Entstrukturierung der Jugendphase

was sie beanspruchen: Übergänge gestalten. Dies geschieht vornehmlich mit
dem Fokus auf die Jugendlichen als Partizipanten, während die
ritualtheoretisch zentrale Sammlung und Konzentration aller Anwesenden, d.h.
auch der Elterngeneration, unberücksichtigt bleibt. Auf der Basis von
Festreden, einem Kernelement der als Übergangsrituale inszenierten
Feierlichkeiten, wird deshalb der Frage der symbolischen Verhandlung des
Generationenverhältnisses nachgegangen und herausgearbeitet, in welcher
Hinsicht der angekündigte Übergang ins Erwachsenenalter für beide
Generationen, jüngere wie ältere, eine Herausforderung darstellt.
Die Kleidung von Künstlerinnen und ihre Bedeutung für die Mode
Authors: Leutner Petra
Published: September 2018

Der Beitrag zeigt, dass der Habitus von KünstlerInnen impliziert, Individualität als künstlerische Selbstbekräftigung zu inszenieren, wobei Kleidung eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Eine These lautet, dass sich dies bei Künstlerinnen zunächst anders ausnimmt als bei Künstlern, weil die Tradition schöpferischer Hervorbringung männlich dominiert ist. An Beispielen wird verdeutlicht, dass von Künstlerinnenkleidern wichtige Impulse für die Mode ausgehen können. Gegenstand der Recherche und Analyse sind Selbstzeugnisse und Werke von Künstlerinnen, Fotografien, Modekollektionen und Sekundärliteratur. Aussagekräftige Einzelfälle werden beleuchtet, wobei der systematische Aspekt gegenüber dem historischen im Vordergrund steht. Es stellt sich heraus, dass die vestimentären Inszenierungen von KünstlerInnen der professionellen Selbstermächtigung dienen. Da diese Selbstermächtigung den Künstlerinnen lange Zeit verwehrt war, wurden spezielle Formen der Appropriation entwickelt. In der Gegenwart lassen sich allerdings vielfältige Nachwirkungen von KünstlerInnenkleidern auf die Mode erkennen.

Germ cell testicular tumor with best prognosis, spermatocytic seminoma: a rare case report
Authors: ZENGİN Mehmet
Published: September 2018

The spermatocytic seminoma is a different testicular
germ cell neoplasm representing less than 1% of testicular cancers. It has
distinctive clinical and pathological features when compared with classical
seminoma. Diagnosis of spermatocytic seminoma is difficult, especially in
elderly patients, due to its rare occurrence, lack of clinical presentation,
and the difficulty of differential diagnosis with morphologically testicular
lymphoma and classical seminoma. Here we present the clinical presentation,
histopathologic features and prognosis of a spermatocytic seminoma case in the
light of literature information.
“For the Protection of Christianity?”
Authors: Avanesova Maria , Naxera Vladimíř
Published: September 2018

Over the course of Russia’s post-Soviet development, the Russian Orthodox Church has become a significant actor in social and political relations in Russia. This text deals with the ways in which the Russian Orthodox Church’s relationship toward the West has developed and how the Church features in the state’s official policy toward the West. This paper, which is based mainly on an analysis of primary sources (state and Church documents, media), is structured chronologically. Important landmarks in it include Vladimir Putin’s entrance into the position of president and Kirill’s entrance into the position of the Moscow patriarch. The study shows that, at present, the state and the Church rhetoric are almost identical and both focus on the defense of Russian foreign policy visions and plans.

Pharmaceutical crystallization in Couette-Taylor crystallizer: A case study of polymorphism of amino acid L-glutamic acid
Authors: Khuu Quang Chau , Dang Giang Truong , Trinh Huyen Thi Thanh , Nguyen Tuan Anh
Published: September 2018

The influence of intensity Taylor vortex flow in Couette-Taylor crystallizer on the crystallization of polymorphic amino acid L-glutamic acid was investigated in cooling crystallization. Here, the L-glutamic acid was chosen as the model crystal product, where it has two kinds of polymorphism including the unstable phase α-form and stable phase β-form crystal. In cooling crystallization, the α-form crystal transformed to the β-form crystal corresponding to the phase transformation of α-form to β-form crystal. The present study found that the selective polymorphism of α-form and β-form crystal as well as the phase transformation significantly depended on the intensity of turbulent Taylor vortex flow in Couette-Taylor crystallizer. Here, the selective β-form nucleation and phase transformation were remarkably promoted as increasing the rotation speed of inner cylinder in Couette-Taylor crystallizer. By comparison with the conventional stirred tank (ST) crystallizer, the Couette-Taylor (CT) crystallizer was at least 2.0 times more effective as regards the selective β-form polymorphism and phase transformation time. The advantage of CT crystallizer over the conventional ST crystallizer was explained in terms of the high shear stress and mass transfer of turbulent Taylor vortex flow in CT crystallizer. Here, the shear stress of Taylor vortex flow in CT crystallizer was at least 23.0 times higher than that of fluid motion in conventional ST crystallizer, whereas the mass transfer of Taylor vortex flow in CT crystallizer was at least 1.2 times higher than that of fluid motion in conventional ST crystallizer. As such, the high turbulent shear stress of Taylor vortex flow was expected to promote the β-form nucleation via the effective molecules alignment, whereas the high mass transfer of Taylor vortex flow facilitated the dissolution rate of α-form and growth rate of β-form crystal, resulting in an acceleration of phase transformation rate.

The paper presents the detailed data of gas demand for power, fertilizer and other industries in Vietnam during 2011–2015, as well as forecasted data for 2016–2025 and 2026–2035 phases. The results demonstrate that the domestic gas industry cannot meet the market requirement, the inadequacy is estimated of 30%. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminal installation for import is considered as a feasible solution to the problem. However, the major barrier is that the gas pipeline system is discrete in the whole country, the configuration of LNG receiving terminal must be therefore selected and designed reasonably. By analysis, Vietnamese LNG market is a high potential in 2016–2035 phase.

Authors: Rusman Rusman
Published: September 2018

Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa: (1) kondisi pembelajaran matematika di SMK yang dijadikan lokasi penelitian secara umum sudah berjalan baik, sebagaimana dapat dilihat dari: pemahaman guru matematika terhadap tujuan pembelajaran matematika, metode yang digunakan guru cukup bervariasi, meskipun materi pembelajaran matematika yang dikembangkan guru masih terlalu banyak, sumber yang digunakan guru masih menggunakan buku paket, peran siswa dalam kegiatan pembelajaran cenderung masih kurang optimal, (2) pembelajaran berbasis komputer model tutorial dan drill and practice dilaksanakan melalui tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan dan evaluasi pembelajaran berbasis komputer. (3) faktor-faktor yang mendukung pelaksanaan model pembelajaran berbasis komputer adalah adanya laboratorium komputer yang sudah terpasang jaringan (LAN), sehingga mempermudah pelaksanaan pembelajaran berbasis komputer, sedangkan faktor yang menghambat pelaksanaan model pembelajaran berbasis komputer adalah budaya mengajar konvensional yang merasa cukup puas dengan menggunakan metode ceramah; (4). pembelajaran berbasis komputer model tutorial ternyata lebih efektif jika dibandingkan dengan model drill and practice pada mata pelajaran matematikat. Begitu juga jika dibandingkan antara pembelajaran berbasis komputer dengan pembelajaran konvensional yang berupa tatap muka, ternyata siswa terlihat lebih antusias dalam kegiatan pembelajaran dengan menggunakan CBI, dibandingkan tatap muka di kelas.

Sejak berdirinya 3 tahun yang lalu, banyak hal telah dilakukan dalam penyelenggaraannya. Berbagai kalangan pemerhati pendidikan mulai mempertanyakan kontribusi siaran TVE terhadap penuntasan Wajar Dikdas 9 Tahun. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di SMP yang tersebar di 28 Propinsi di Indonesia pada bulan Desember tahun 2006. Metode yang digunakan adalah metoda survei. Populasinya adalah siswa-siswa SMP dan guru yang tersebar di sekolah perintisan dari 28 propinsi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar siswa belum memanfaatkan siaran TVE secara efektif. Sedangkan guru telah memanfaatkan siaran TVE cukup efektif. Kontribusi siaran TVE ditunjukkan pada setiap peningkatan satu unit skor efektivitas pemanfaatan siaran TVE pada konstanta -5,69 menghasilkan 0,124 peningkatan hasil belajar siswa. Kekuatan hubungan antara efektivitas pemanfaatan siaran TVE dengan hasil belajar siswa berdasarkan uji signifikansi koefisien korelasi ditunjukkan oleh korelasi r = 0,685 dengan persamaan regresi v = -5,69 + 0,124X. Hal ini berarti setiap peningkatan satu unit skor efektivitas pemanfaatan siaran TVE pada konstanta -5,69, menghasilkan 0,124 peningkatan hasil belajar siswa, atau dengan perkataan lain, semakin tinggi efektivitas pemanfaatan siaran TVE, maka semakin tinggi skor hasil belajar siswa. Sebaliknya, semakin rendah efektivitas pemanfaatan siaran TVE, maka semakin rendah skor hasil belajar siswa.
