Published: March 2021

Few empirical studies have analyzed the return to distance higher education in different academic disciplines. This study used quantitative methods, data from a nationwide survey, and Mincerian earnings function to analyze the return to distance higher education among different disciplines in China’s labor market. Results were compared with the return to face-to-face higher education and showed that the returns to face-to-face higher education were higher than those to distance higher education. Returns to the disciplines of economics and management were at a high level in both face-to-face and distance education; returns to the disciplines of literature, as well as education and law, were at a low level in both face-to-face and distance education. The returns to the disciplines of science and engineering were higher in face-to-face education than in distance education. This paper proposes several recommendations. Adults who do not have higher education degrees should invest in distance higher education to obtain considerable monetary returns, particularly in the disciplines with higher returns such as management and economics. China’s distance education institutions should improve the quality of teaching in science and engineering education and find ways to provide high-quality experimental teaching practices. At the same time, they should scale back on instruction of literature, as well as education and law.

The use of plants as a traditional medicine in the modern era is still in high demand. One of the herbs commonly used by Indonesian is analgesic herbal medicine. The safety aspect of herbal medicine should be considered, such as heavy metal contamination. Mercury is the typical heavy metal found in polluting herbal plants. The maximum mercury level allowed in a medicinal preparation has been regulated by BPOM RI, as much as ≤ 0.5 ppm. A high level of mercury contamination causing toxic effects on the body due to protein precipitation, which inhibits enzyme activity and acts as a corrosive material. A technology that allows the detection of mercury is a chemical sensor. The strip test is optimal if the reagent 1-(2-thiazolyl azo)-2-naphthol (TAN) concentration at 1000 ppm and the sample has been confirmed at pH 7. The results of the strip test characterization showed that the response time was in the range of minutes 17 to 24, the use time of the test strips for 28 days if stored in room temperature and 29 days if stored at in refrigerator temperature, linearity with r = 0.998, Vx0 = 3.96%, p-value = 0.00000172, LOD = 0.102 ppm and LOQ = 0.306 ppm, interference value <5%, precision with RSD 6.54%, and accuracy with the value of % recovery 98.007%. T-test analysis showed p= 0.872, meaning no significant difference between the application of TAN-based test strips with the ICP-AES method.

GRIEVABLE AND UN GRIEVABLE LIVES: PHIL KLAY’S REDEPLOYMENT
Authors: M ALOSMAN M Ikbal
Published: March 2021

The Middle East occupies considerable space in the US media and public debate after America’s recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. This paper examines Phil Klay’s delineation of these wars in his award-winning story collection, Redeployment (2014), in accordance with its approach to the value of life of both Americans and non-Americans and its perspective(s) on violence. It is Judith Butler’s contention that, in Western democracies, lives and deaths are treated with a different method; while the lives of western citizens are valued and grieved, the lives of non-citizens are devalued and ungrieved. I investigate the status of life/death in this work in the first section while the stories’ appropriation(s) to and justification of violence are elaborated in the second part. In these stories, fatalities among both Americans and locals are abundant and grief appears to dominate the scenes, however, in rather different way.

European Direct Investment in Brazil, 1860 to the Present
Authors: Birchal Sérgio de Oliveira , Silva Âmara Fuccio de Fraga e
Published: March 2021

European direct investment in Brazil dates back to the discovery of the country and has been since then either hegemonic or more important than a superficial observation can grasp, as this work aims at showing. During the 20th century, the United States has replaced Britain as the worlds economic superpower and the largest direct investor. US dominance in the world economy and geographical proximity to Brazil would suggest that US investments were by far the largest in the country during that century. Furthermore, as Japan had become the second largest economy in the world in the 1980s, we would expect that this would be reflected in the data of the largest multinationals in Brazil. However, as our investigation suggests, Western European direct investment has been as large (and in many occasions even larger) as that of the USA and Japanese firms have never had a prominent presence among the largest firms in Brazil, at least until the late 1990s.

Published: March 2021

The multimedia sector is one of the high-tech sectors that has contributed greatly to revitalizing the economic base of the Montreal region. A relatively young sector, which may be described as post-industrial, it has created high expectations as to its capacity to create jobs and economic wealth. Its many applications have created visions of sustained growth, arousing the interest of many public and private actors in the sector. The sector has fulfilled its promises in part and met a number of expectations, to such an extent that for a number of years it actually experienced labour shortage, raiding of workers, high wages, the creation of many firms and significant interest on the part of the financial community (Tremblay, 2002, 2004; Tremblay et al., 2002) . In short, for a few years the sector was an unqualified success.This paper will examine the mechanisms of governance set up by actors in the Montrealregion in order to build the foundations of a new industry. We will also see thatgovernance has evolved over the years according to information and changes in theenvironment and involves a diversity of actors.

Saved by a syncretic faith? A case from 1995
Authors: BHARGAVA ANURAG
Published: March 2021

Physicians in countries like India have to take on the care of seriously ill patients that, in a strict sense, maybe beyond their means to handle. They do so often because their patients trust them or the institutions that they may be a part of. The author reflects on his stint as a young physician in a rural medical college in Gujarat in the 1990s. He narrates the experience of dealing with a critically ill young man brought by road from a hospital in Bombay, 500 km away, to his hometown. The patient survived because the correct diagnosis was reached, and the family assisted in his intensive care with a remarkable composure which owed its origins to a faith crossing the boundaries of religion.

Authors: Hassan Hanan Elzeblawy , Gamel Wafaa Mostafa Ahmed , Genedy Amal Sarhan Eldesokey
Published: March 2021

Background: Maternal pushing during the 2nd stage of labor is indispensable and important contributor to the involuntary expulsive force developed by uterine contraction results to influence on the mother and fetus. Aim: the study was conducted to compare spontaneous versus Valsalva (directed) pushing techniques at the second stage of labor on maternal and fetal outcomes. Methods: Setting: Delivery Unit of El-Fayoum General and University Hospitals. Design: A quasi-experimental comparative study. Subjects: A purposive sample of a total of 100 primiparous women; 50 in the Valsalva (directed) pushing group & 50 in the spontaneous pushing group. Tools: four tools were used; structured interviewing questionnaire sheet, Apgar score, Visual analog scale, and women satisfaction questionnaire. Results: The duration of the second stage of labor was shorter (5-10 min) in a spontaneous pushing (54.0%) group compared to the direct pushing group (2.0%). Oxygen wasn't used at all in spontaneous pushing group compared to 74.0% of directed pushing group. Postpartum hemorrhage was too little in spontaneous pushing group (96.0%) compared to 36.0% of the directed pushing group. Also, all women in the spontaneous pushing group experienced mild perineal pain compared to 32.0% in the directed pushing group (p<0.001). The individual items of the VAS were significantly higher in the directed pushing group than those in the spontaneous pushing group. According to Apgar's score, there was a significant difference between the two groups during both the first and fifth minutes of birth. In the directed pushing group, a higher proportion of babies are admitted to ICU than those in the spontaneous pushing group (18.0 percent versus 10.0 percent). Conclusion; spontaneous pushing during the 2nd stage of labor enhanced neonatal and maternal outcomes; whilst directed pushing was associated with an increased duration of the 2nd stage of labor and risk of adverse neonatal outcomes. Recommendations: It may be recommended that spontaneous pushing during the second stage of childbirth be included in the procedure for maternal hospitals.
Preliminary Observations After the 2020 Aegean Sea Earthquake
Authors: MÜDERRİSOĞLU Ziya , ÖZKAYNAK Hasan
Published: March 2021

The October 30, 2020 Aegean Sea Earthquake occurred with a magnitude of M6.6 and caused significant damages across the city of Izmir, Turkey. Specifically, this paper presents the preliminary observation results based on; ground motion properties, local site conditions, code-based design procedures, and the structural damage mechanisms. In order to achieve this purpose, critical spectral characteristic of strong ground motion records were evaluated in advance. Then, the variables given in code-based design results were investigated based on base shear to structural weight ratio. Local site effects were considered by comparing the spectral amplitudes obtained for different strong ground motions recorded from stations with different soil characteristics (i.e. the shear wave velocity (VS30) averaged over top 30m of the soil profile). Primary temporal distributions of recorded earthquake sequences followed by the mainshock were detailed and the directionality characteristics of the strong ground motion recorded after the mainshock were summarized. Moreover, observed damage patterns in buildings are discussed and possible reasons were identified in terms of critical structural properties. Preliminary results generally represent the effect of local soil characteristics on the amplification of spectral properties.

In this study, the factors affecting the present and future of payment systems in Turkey together with the technical payment systems are analyzed, and the supported payment systems in Turkey are examined by a survey from the users’ perspectives. While the widespread use of smart devices, rapid developments in technology, globalization, improvements in financial areas, the development of commercial and financial activities have led to an increase in domestic and international payment transactions. Consequently, the shopping habits change among many subjects. People's efforts to access information with the fastest, the most practical and the safest are seen as the main reasons for the change of today's world. Merchandising habits also started to show parallel development and change to the internet. The fact that e-commerce can be used with all banks thanks to virtual POSs has further strengthened the link between international e-commerce companies and users. Thus, payment systems became more widespread. The use of payment systems, payment options offered to customers on online shopping sites, campaigns, installments and postponement opportunities has become widespread with the support of credit card security.

The need for payment systems has increased due to the fact that people go to a store in their daily routines and see shopping as a waste of time, and nowadays shopping and buy and sell are so easy in online environments. Thus, various payment systems have been initiated. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the payment systems infrastructure in Turkey from two different users’ perspectives. The data gathered via questionnaires in terms of end users who have completed their orders in any e-commerce site using direct payment systems, and the developers who have programming practive on e-commerce sites having integrated payment systems. The statistical results are discussed with analytical evaluations.

Microfluidic Live-Imaging Technology to Perform Research Activities in 3D Models
Authors: Capuzzo Arnaud Martino , Vigo Daniele
Published: March 2021

Morphological dissimilarity and its evolution over time are one of the most unexpected variations found when comparing cell cultures in 2D and 3D. Monolayer cells appear to flatten in the lower part of the plate, adhering to and spreading in the horizontal plane while not extending vertically. Consequently, cells developed in two dimensions have a forced apex-basal polarity. Co-cultivation and crosstalking between multiple cell types, which control development and formation in the in vivo counterpart, are possible in 3D cultures. With or without a scaffold matrix, 3D model culture may exhibit more in vivo-like morphology and physiology. 3D cultures mimic relevant physiological cellular processes, transforming them into one-of-a-kind drug screening platforms. The structures and dynamics of regulatory networks, which are increasingly studied with live-imaging microscopy, must be considered to help and guarantee the functional maintenance of a 3D structure. However, commercially available technologies that can be used for current laboratory needs are minimal, despite the need to make it easier to acquire cellular kinetics with high spatial and temporal resolution, in order to improve visual efficiency and, as a result, experimentation performance. The CELLviewer is a newly developed multi-technology instrument that integrates and synchronizes the work of various scientific disciplines. The aim of this study is to test the device using two different models: a single Jurkat cell and an MCF-7 spheroid. The two models are loaded into the microfluidic cartridge for each experiment after they have been grown and captured in time-lapse for a total of 4 hours. The samples used are tracked under the operation of the optics after adaptive autofocus, while slipping inside the cartridge chamber, and the 3D rotation was successfully obtained experimentally. The MitoGreen dye, a fluorescence marker selectively permeable to live cells, was then used to determine cell viability. To measure the model diameter, construct fluorescence intensity graphs along a straight line passing through the cell, and visualize the spatial fluorescence intensity distribution in 3D, ImageJ software was used.

Published: March 2021

This study investigates the asymmetric adjustment of the sectorial lending-deposit rate spread in Fiji’s banking industry using monthly data from January 2000 to February 2020. The study uses the threshold autoregressive and the momentum threshold autoregressive models to test for cointegration and to detect asymmetries. The analysis provides evidence of an asymmetric adjustment process in the sectorial lending deposit rate spread among Fijian commercial banks. This finding has important policy implications and provides better understanding of the asymmetric behaviour in Fiji’s banking industry.
Increasing ESP Lifetime by Employing Novel Non-Corrosive Acid System for Scales Removal

Published: March 2021

The scales precipitated on the electric submersible pump (ESP) will lead to trapped heat, lower the motor's cooling capacity, decrease the pump lifetime, and finally pump failure. Removal of oil field scales commonly requires low pH acid that can cause corrosion, hydrogen sulfide evolution, ferric and ferrous hydroxide precipitation, iron sulfide as a by-product, and/or sulfur precipitation. Scales typically occur in the near wellbore, tubing, downhole pumps, and surface equipment. A mineral deposition is widespread with a change in pressure, temperature, pH, and incompatible mixing between injected seawater and formation water.

This paper presents a new scale dissolver that is non-corrosive and has a high scale dissolution performance for barium sulfate scales. The study explains a series of comprehensive experimental lab tests such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), brine compositional analysis, fluid compatibility and stability, solubility test, precipitation tendency for the dissolved solids, and corrosion test to evaluate and simulate the field application of the new dissolver using two field scale types that mainly contain barium sulfate (BaSo4) scales.

The obtained successful results indicated that the novel dissolver had a great dissolution efficiency for two real barium scale samples as the results showed that the dissolution rate recorded 91.3 and 78.4 % at 90 °C for samples 1 and 2 respectively. The novel dissolver showed a very low precipitation tendency for the scale dissolved solids (1.9 and 3.2 % for samples 1 and 2 respectively). Without any additives of corrosion inhibitors, the corrosion rate was 0.00376 lb/ft2 at 1000 psi and 50 °C for 6 hours.

The obtained successful results will help to dissolve the barium sulfate scales, maintain the ESP performance, increase the lifetime, and save extra cost for the pump operational problems due to scale precipitations.

A corrosion control test was conducted on alloy steel, using polymeric coatings (polyurethane, bitumen (medium airing), and high-density polyethylene) in dilute HCl solutions of pH values 4, 7, and 12, respectively for acid, neutral and alkaline solutions at ambient temperature. In the study, Eighty-four coupons of alloy steel were used. The coupons were mechanized, ground, polished, etched with natal, and weighed using a digital weighing balance (Beva 206B). The mass of each coupon was recorded according to the tag number on them. Twenty-one of the coupons were coated with polyurethane, 21 coated with medium curing bitumen (MC), and 21 coated with high-density polyethylene, while 21 were left uncoated. Seven polyurethane-coated samples, bitumen coating, and uncoated coupons were suspended in dilute HCl solutions of pH values 4, 7, and 12. Every week, one sample is taken from each of the solutions, the coatings and the corrosion products were removed, and the coupons were etched with natal. Then the coupons were reweighed, and their masses were recorded in accordance with their tag number. The weight loss per unit area of the coupons, corrosion rate, and percentage corrosion inhibition efficiencies of the coatings was calculated over seven weeks. The results obtained were tabulated and represented graphically. From the results obtained, it is seen that the corrosion inhibition efficiency of polyurethane coatings is higher compared with bitumen and polyethylene. It is also seen from the graphs that the corrosion rate of the coupons is higher in acid, a little bit lower in alkaline, and much lower in neutral solution. It is also observed that the corrosion rates fall with time as the inhibition efficiency also falls with time.
