Published: October 2019

The results of  a three-year field experiment to study the effect of mineral fertilizers and biopreparations with active strains of associative nitrogen-fixing microorganisms on the yield and quality of corn on the ordinary chernozem of the Lower Don are presented. The application of a combination of mineral fertilizers in a dose of N60P40K40 ensured high efficiency. The increase in grain yield compared to the control option was 1.85 t / ha, or 61.3%. The increase in yield after a bacterial preparation application with a strain of associative nitrogen-fixing microorganisms 2P-7 without mineral fertilizers was 40.1%,  after application of the biopreparation 2P-9 with nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizers in a dose of N30P40 - 55.3%. The greatest effect in protein harvesting was after application of N60P40K40 - 81.6%, after application of 2P-7 and 2P-9 - 51.9 and 55.6%, respectively. After their combined application with  nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizers it increased by  20.9 and 22.2%. The level of profitability varied from 17% after application of full mineral fertilizer to 69% under the influence of biological products of associative nitrogen-fixing microorganisms.

Published: October 2019

One of the biggest problems that human beings face is climate change and construction industry is one of the sectors causing the greatest impact, which has led him to adopt sustainable strategies. However, these have not been effective enough to reduce CO2 emissions, since solutions are required accompanied by other alternatives. Therefore, the objective of this study is to reduce CO2 by implementing CDW strategies under the following method: 1) analysis of CO2 of the major raw materials consumed, 2) use of the materials at the construction site was determined, 3) waste streams generated at the construction site were identified and those that could be reuse were highlighted, 4) CDW recycling strategies to avoid the use of the major raw materials consumption are proposed, and 5) one of the strategies proposed is further analyzed. The results show that natural aggregates generate the greater amount of CO2 due to the consumption of fuel required for their transportation. By replacing 68% of natural aggregates by recycled aggregates, CO2 can be reduced by 53%. Finally, these results can help to promote the opening of new CDW recycling companies in Nayarit and thereby contribute to the sum of sustainability practices in housing building.

Published: October 2019

This invited writing shares the education methodology known as Wicked problem, Experiences, Available Resources, Solution-Innovation (WEARS) and results from applying a pilot education program with a group of international students. The pilot involved three components that contribute to enhancing leadership skills based on stakeholder informed or bottom-up change: 1) developing a professional competition, 2) proposing a WEARS project, and 3) initiating a related outreach event. Outlines of student projects are shared. Students’ interests in generalized sustainability related education topics were polled and results are presented as an average of the group. Reflection on conducting the pilot is also presented from an exploratory action research perspective. Potential translation to higher education sustainability related projects was a driver for action research. Several conclusions are shared related to the educational structure and content for application of the WEARS methodology at a higher education institution. Future research and iterations of the program are proposed in coordination with a higher education institution that promotes interdisciplinary education. Specifically, means to select program candidates and longitudinal study of overall impacts are proposed as necessary to continuously update the WEARS methodology.
Mer, Forêt, Volcan : défi écologique de l’archipel indonésien dans Mémoires de routes : les iles de la sonde de Thierry Robinet
Authors: Mustofa Andi
Published: October 2019

The travel story of Thierry

Robinet appears as a text that offers diversified looks on the ecology of

Indonesia as having a great natural diversity. In navigating the Mémoires de routes: les îles de la sonde,

we see that questioning the relationship between human beings and nature is

unavoidable. The work thus proposes to show how the author perceives and

characterizes the nature of Indonesian archipelago. We look at later, always in

an ecocritique perspective, the relationship and interaction between human

beings and nature in the work. The result shows that the author, as a

Westerner, seems to characterize the nature Indonesian archipelago as being

dynamic, wild, dangerous, and full of mysteries, wealth and wonders. The

relation human-nature happens in the practice of  nature conservation and the practice of

multiform domination which exploits and destroys nature for the benefit of

human.

In this research, we gave a grammar test to students of the second semester, in total 50 questions, with the type of test « Closure test » in the matter of the passé composé and imparfait. Then, from the result of this test, we analyze the grammatical errors made by the students. So, this study entitled « Analysis of grammatical errors at past tenses by the students of the department of French UPI of second semester academic year 2017/2018 ». The purpose of this research is to describe grammatical errors made by the student. The research method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, and the dataswere obtained from the analysis of test results. Based on the analysis, we were able to conclude that the forms of errors are made by students is the conjugation error, the usage of auxiliary error, without the auxiliary, without agreement and error of the usage between the passé composé and imparfait in complex sentences and in a text. The main factor causing these errors is the neglect of students to answer questions and the lack of understanding of students to use the passé composé and imparfait in complex sentences and text.

Authors: Savitri Dian
Published: October 2019

The aim of foreign language teaching is to enable learners to use the language they have learned to communicate and interact in their lives. This is why teaching/learning no longer gives priority to structure but rather to communication and interaction. It is by communicating that they learn the structure. The foreign language class is a place where learners use the language learned. Therefore, it is necessary for the teacher to create interesting activities that can encourage learners to use the language to communicate. Teaching French as a foreign language from the first semester to the seventh semester in the French Department, Universitas Negeri Jakarta, we use the Alterego+ manual. It replaced Alterego that we had used for over 5 years. After having studied it for 7 semesters, we hope that students can present themselves at DELF B2. As it provides language course level B1, it only want to talk about thepractice class with Alterego+ 3 that has been done for 2 semesters. Alterego+ 3 is published by Hachette, Français Langue Etrangère and targets learners who have acquired the level A2. It aims to acquire skills described in level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CECRL), within a 150-hour course of teaching/learning activities. This allows learners to present themselves at DELF level B1. However in our department the B1 language courses are only lasted about 106 hours. How can one teach the limited duration B1 level?

Education Matters: Certified health professionals have higher credibility than non health professionals on Instagram
Authors: Black Adnan , Desroches Sophie , Fernandez Melissa A. , Raine Kim D.
Published: October 2019

Social media serves as an accessible source of health information and nutrition information. Instagram, an internationally known social media platform with an average of more than 1 billion monthly active users, allows its users to create and share content. However, the credibility of the nutrition content created by users with unknown qualifications may be questionable. The objective of this study is to assess the credibility of content created by nutrition influencers on Instagram by comparing health professionals with non-health professionals.

 For this study, “influencer” is defined as an Instagram user with at least 15,000 followers who promotes products, services, or ideas and who creates nutrition- or health-related content. For each influencer (n=29), two posts were selected every month from August 2018 to July 2019. Using the “Credible Information Factsheet” from the Dietitians of Canada, a credibility score based on four dichotomous criteria was created. Looking at the 24 posts of each influencer holistically, a credibility score out of 4 was calculated, with 0 being the least credible and 4 being the most credible.

 Without exception, a greater proportion of health professionals compared to non-health professionals met each criterion from the “Credible Information Factsheet”. 92% of the health professionals met criteria 1 (Miracle Cure) compared to only 31% of non-health professionals. This demonstrates how the vast majority of health professionals would not promise a miracle cure, while most non-health professionals would readily promise a miracle cure. Additionally, 46% of health professionals met criteria 4 (Research-based) compared to only 19% of non-health professionals, which demonstrates how non-health professionals do not support claims with research. When looking at the total credibility scores for health professionals and non-health professionals, not a single health professional scored a total of 0, while not a single non-health professional scored a total of 4. Most importantly, health professionals had an average credibility score of 2.4, which is twice as high as that of non-health professionals (1.2).

 Overall, health professionals appeared to be more credible than non-health professionals. By viewing nutrition information posted on Instagram by non-health professionals, followers potentially expose themselves to misinformation. Further research should be undertaken to validate the credibility score based on the “Credible Information Factsheet” by determining how adept the factsheet is at differentiating credibility for Instagram content.
3D Models of Fractured Pelvic Bones for Analysis of Symmetry and Deviation
Authors: Polege Samantha , McClelland Sarah , Ead Maha , Li David , Duke Kajsa , Westover Lindsey
Published: October 2019

Pelvic fractures are a fairly common result of falls, automobile collisions, or other direct impact incidents. Most fractures are relatively mild and not life-threatening, but severe damage may have debilitating effects on the victim's health and quality of life. Pelvic breakage often requires surgery to alleviate, but procedures may be difficult given the complex anatomical structure of the area and the specific location of the fractures. This project aimed to make the planning stage easier for surgeons by analyzing left-right symmetry of the pelvis and using this property to create, in cases where one side is fractured and the other remains intact, 3D models of reconstructed pelvic fractures. Pelvic bone has been proven to be highly symmetrical. This method would provide surgeons with a clearer idea of how to best reassemble and otherwise correct fractures in the pelvis. First, various one-sided pelvic fractures from a batch of anonymized subjects obtained from the University of Alberta Hospital were digitized in medical imaging software. Data from six subjects in total was used in the collection of results. The digitized pelvises were then used to construct 3D models. The fractured pieces were aligned in best-fit with a mirrored intact side. Colour deviation maps, which differentiated between areas of high and low symmetry by measuring the degree of point deviance against a scale, were then generated. Deviance was generally more prevalent along the fracture lines. The predefined threshold considered a maximum of 2 mm of deviation as highly symmetrical. The average RMS value was found to be 1.65 mm and the average percentage of points within 2 mm of difference was 85.1%, indicating that the pelvic bones studied possessed a reasonably high degree of left-right symmetry. The results from this study suggest that this virtual reconstruction method is reliable for use in surgical planning for one-sided pelvic fractures.
Changes in Alberta’s Grasslands Soil pH by Adopting the Adaptive Multi-Paddock Grazing System
Authors: Stahniak Leah , Silva Sobrinho Laio , Breitkreuz Sarah , Chang Scott
Published: October 2019

Grasslands account for a large percentage of earth’s terrestrial area. Soil is an important aspect of the global carbon cycle and plays a critical role in mitigating climate change. Due to poor land management, the grasslands have been greatly degraded, resulting in the grasslands becoming the most endangered ecosystem on the planet. Fortunately, there are several new techniques that can be implemented in order to help alleviate the negative impacts that the depleted grasslands have had on the earth. The Adaptive-Multi Paddock (AMP) grazing system is an innovative technique that has been introduced as a way to increase plant regrowth, improve animal performance, and increase soil organic carbon (SOC) levels. As SOC has been shown to be correlated to soil pH, there is potential for the AMP system to affect soil pH. To implement the AMP system, a rancher’s land would be divided into multiple small paddocks, and the cattle would be rotated between the paddocks more frequently. Non-AMP managed ranches include any ranch that uses traditional grazing techniques, such as low or high continuous grazing. The purpose of this project was to study the effects of the AMP grazing system on the pH of Alberta’s grassland soil. Soil samples were collected from AMP and Non-AMP managed ranches in Alberta. After the samples were separated into several layers, weighed, dried, and sieved, the pH of each soil section was recorded and analyzed. Using the data from the Albertan ranches, the AMP and Non-AMP managed ranches were compared. From this data, it appears that by using the AMP system, the pH was slightly lower across all soil depths. Soil also appeared to become more basic with each successive layer. Between Alberta’s four ecoregions, the average soil pH seemed to vary. In both AMP and Non-AMP managed ranches, the subsoil was more alkaline while the topsoil was more acidic, which could be a result of possible higher SOC concentrations. In future studies, the pH data from Alberta’s soils will be compared to the Saskatchewan and Manitoba data, which will represent all of Canada’s grassland soil. When the SOC data is collected, the pH and SOC concentration will be analyzed to establish a correlation. Ultimately, farmers might be reimbursed for the additional costs of adopting the AMP system because of the environmental benefits the system could have.

A Study of the Industrial Circular Economy Using an Essence Analysis Model
Authors: Chang An-Pi , Chang Shih-Lin
Published: October 2019

The concept of a circular economy can be applied to different business fields. The development of the existing industrial cycles with an overemphasis on economic development and the twisting concept of a circular economy, has limited any substantial contribution of the circular economy to environmental resources. In some cases, resources are even being consumed to create resource recycling. This puts a greater burden on the environment. To gain an understanding of the actual value of a circular economy to the environment and resources, an “Essence Analysis Model” has been used in this study. This combines sustainable development issues in a multi-faceted and multi-leveled analysis of the industrial circular economy model to guide its development more directly towards fundamentals. An analysis of the results of the “Essence Analysis Model” was used to find and change the original strategy, and develop a means of improving the circular economy model. The results of the study make an essential contribution to the sustainable development of environmental resources and the reduction of greenhouse gas emission.
Rectangular Body-centered Cuboid Packing Lattices and Their Possible Applications
Authors: Zheng Xiqiang
Published: October 2019

We first introduce several sphere packing ways such as simple cubic packing (SC), face-centered cubic packing (FCC), body-centered cubic packing (BCC), and rectangular body-centered cuboid packing (recBCC), where the rectangular body-centered cuboid packing means the packing method based on a rectangular cuboid whose base is square and whose height is times the length of one side of its square base such that the congruent spheres are centered at the 8 vertices and the centroid of the cuboid. The corresponding lattices are denoted as SCL, FCCL, BCCL, and recBCCL, respectively. Then we consider properties of those lattices, and show that FCCL and recBCCL are the same. Finally we point out some possible applications of the recBCC lattices.
Effect of Elevated [CO2] and Nutrient Management on Grain Yield and Milling Quality of Rice in Subtropical India
Authors: Biswal Poonam , Swain Dillip Kumar
Published: October 2019

The climate change due to mingled effect of rising [CO2] level and temperature will influence crop production by affecting various components of the production system. In the present study, Open Top Chamber (OTC) facility has been used to realize the consequence of rising [CO2] with nutrient management on rice crop. The experiment was organized in open field and inside OTC with ambient [CO2] (400 ppm) and elevated [CO2] (25%, 50% and 75% higher than ambient) in wet season of the year 2017- 18 at Kharagpur, India. Increase in [CO2] level resulted decreasing trend in growth, yield attributes (filled grains number) and grain yield. The nutrient management with use of only chemical fertilizer at recommended dose gave highest grain yield, which was comparable with integrated management using chemical and biofertilizer. Post-harvest processing quality such as head rice percentage and the head rice yield decreased significantly with CO2 elevation. The elevated [CO2] with 25 to 75% higher than ambient, reduced the head rice percentage by 13 to 21 %. The research stated that investigations on climate change adaptations should be made to avoid the negative impact of rising [CO2] level and temperature on crop yield and processing quality.
Paleo-environmental Conditions, Paleoclimatic Significance and Effects of Weathering on Clay Deposits in the Lower Benue Trough, Nigeria. Mineralogical Approach
Authors: Bolarinwa A. T. , Idakwo S. O. , Bish D. L.
Published: October 2019

Combined methods for mineralogical identifications were used to characterise the clay deposits within the Lower Benue Trough of Nigeria to interpret paleo-environmental conditions, the paleoclimatic significance of the trough, and effects of weathering on the minerals as factors that favour its deposition/accumulation within the trough which host other important industrial minerals like coal, barite, limestone etc. Bulk-sample random-powder XRD data and data for clay fractions deposited onto zero-background quartz plates were measured. The samples contained kaolinite, vermiculite, and traces of smectite, and the non-clay phases included quartz, microcline, and muscovite. All samples were unaffected after glycolation, confirming the absence of significant smectite. Muscovite was characterized by the nature of its 10 Å basal peak with a width of <0.10° 2θ, which was very sharp. DTA/TGA results support the presence of kaolinite, and the characteristic kaolinite O-H, Al-OH, Si-OH and SiO-Al FTIR bands also confirmed its presence. Vermicular and book-like morphologies were observed under the SEM, typical of kaolinitic clay from in situ alteration. High kaolinite abundance in these sediments is consistent with intense weathering of parent rocks rich in Al under wet/ tropical paleo-climatic conditions with fresh and/or brackish water conditions in a continental setting. The variety of observed morphologies suggests that the deposits suffered more of chemical weathering. The clay deposits in Lower Benue Trough are quartz-rich, kaolinitic and derived from the chemical weathering of Al-rich source rocks.
The Essence of Optimism of The Economists and Investors with Regard to the Economy of Russia
Authors: Igorevna Tenkovskaya Lyudmila
Published: October 2019

The gross domestic product of Russia, expressed in US dollars, indicates problems in the Russian economy associated with the decline in oil prices on the world energy market and the consequences of the sanctions of the United States and the European Union against Russia. The crisis situation of the Russian economy has a negative impact on the income of the population of country, represented mainly by wages. However, an economist or investor may be optimistic about Russian economic development in the medium term. This optimism is related to the economic policy of the United States. The expansion of the United States economy within the global space, based on economic growth, requires maintaining inflation within the target level and weakening the US dollar. These tasks are solved with the help of soft monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve System. The reduction of interest rates by the US Federal Reserve System against the background of inflation of the target level and the devaluation of the US dollar will contribute to economic growth in the United States, because it will lead to the depreciation of public debt, lower consumption of imports, increase in exports and trade balance, growth of production, income, consumption. The economic policy of the United States, which contributes to the devaluation of the US dollar, will also reduce the US dollar against the ruble. The optimistic view of investors-economists on the Russian economy is due to a significant strengthening of the ruble against the US dollar. Consequently, in the medium term, the gross domestic product and wages of citizens of Russia, expressed in US dollars, will significantly increase, and the purchasing power of the national currency of the country will also increase. This growth may continue until the next election of a new President of the United States in november 2020. After the election of the new President of the United States, there is a high probability of sanctions against Russia and of decline in oil prices in the world energy market in accordance with the future economic policy of the United States – two main reasons for the sharp strengthening of the US dollar against the ruble, which will cause a deeper economic crisis in Russia in the medium and long term.

Whether in the past, present and future, marine ecological environment is the most important part in the history of human development, we can call it the "patron saint" of mankind. It provides all kinds of resources and energy needed for social production, and plays an irreplaceable role in species diversity and ecological balance. However, the weakening of self-purification ability of marine ecosystem, the decline of pollution purification ability, the deterioration of marine ecological environment, and the decline of biological resources and biodiversity ,etc. all these bring fatal impact to coastal areas and even the whole terrestrial ecosystem, it is imminent to strengthen ecological protection. It is our bounden duty to protect the living environment of human. We have the right to enjoy the convenience brought by the natural environment, so we should fulfill the obligation to protect it.[Chinese Library Classification Number]   X31        [Document Code]  A

Authors: Lin Hung-Ming
Published: October 2019

Information commitments are a profile of evaluative standards and information searching strategies on the Internet. The purpose of this study is to examine the reliability and validity of the information commitments instrument in consumption domain, and differences among scales underlying the instrument. A total of 258 university students participated in the survey who have experiences in online shopping. Using confirmatory factor analysis technical, this study has identified valid measures for each construct underlying information commitments in consumptions domain. The results indicate that participants preferred to utilize “content” to judge the usefulness of the information, and use “multiple sources” to evaluate the correctness of information, that they oriented to use search strategy “elaboration” in verifying online consumption information. Gender differences are also revealed on standard of the “multiple sources” and the “content”.

How to study the menstrual cycle: Practical tools and recommendations
Authors: Schmalenberger Katja M. , Eisenlohr-Moul Tory A.
Published: October 2019

Despite decades of research on the physiological and psychological effects of the menstrual cycle, studies have not sufficiently adopted consistent methods for operationalizing the menstrual cycle. This has resulted in substantial confusion in the literature and limited possibilities to conduct systematic reviews and meta-analyses. In order to facilitate more rapid accumulation of knowledge on cycle effects, the present paper offers a set of integrative guidelines and standardized tools for studying the menstrual cycle as an independent variable. We begin with (1) an overview of the menstrual cycle and (2) premenstrual disorders, followed by (3) recommendations and tools regarding data collection in cycle studies. These recommendations address selecting the appropriate study design, sampling strategy, managing demand characteristics, identifying a sample of naturally-cycling individuals, measuring menstrual bleeding dates, ovarian hormones, and ovulation. We proceed with suggestions for (4) data preparation and coding of cycle day and phases, (5) data visualization, statistical modeling, and interpretation of menstrual cycle associations. We also provide (6) recommendations for using menses start day and ovulation testing to schedule visits in laboratory studies and end with a (7) comprehensive summary and conclusion. Regardless of whether the influence of the menstrual cycle is of central interest in a study or should be controlled to accurately assess the effects of another variable, the use of these recommendations and tools will help make study results more meaningful and replicable.
Context matters: Novel metaphors in supportive and non-supportive contexts (Preprint)
Authors: Hartung Franziska , Klooster Nathaniel , Humphries Stacey , Kenett Yoed
Published: October 2019

Creative language is defined as linguistic output that is both novel and appropriate. Metaphors are one such example of creative language in which one concept is used to express another by highlighting certain semantic features. While novelty is an inherent property of unfamiliar metaphors, appropriateness depends on the context. The current study tests the hypothesis that the context in which metaphors are encountered affects its processing. We examined the neural effects of comprehending metaphors in context by comparing neural activations in response to novel metaphors and literal sentences that were either embedded in a meaningful narrative or in matched jabberwocky contexts. We found that the neural correlates of processing metaphoric sentences and their literal counterparts are indistinguishable when embedded in a narrative: both conditions activate bilateral areas along the anterior temporal poles, middle temporal gyri, superior temporal sulci, and the angular gyri. Metaphors embedded in a narrative as compared to their identical counterparts embedded in jabberwocky show increased responses in sensorimotor areas that correspond to the modality of the literal meaning of the target word, perhaps reflecting deeper semantic processing. Our results confirm that context affects neural mechanisms for understanding creative ideas.
