Japanese immigrant has become very momentous situation in Thailand development over a decade as same as Chinese migrant movement to global migration labor. The situations have developed from economic values merge to social adaptation and 2nd generation. The implementation for this research could lead to understanding of few Japanese migrant situation studies in Thailand which relates to developments situation, social credibility, and skilled labor from 2002 until the present. The research aims (1) to find out and clarify the push and pull factors of Japanese immigrant in Thailand to indicate the Japanese migration role, (2) to analyze the role of Japanese immigrant in Thailand through nationality issues and (3) to indicate migrant management system reconstruction in Thailand in the future. This research is a critical study case of documentary research from the accessible secondary data, PEST analysis (Political with economic, society, and technology) is used to analyze in clarifying of macro push and pull factors of external concerned points with relate to government and Japanese migrant until the few studies of 2nd Japanese migrant in Thailand possibly. According to Thailand and Japan situations that might be concerned to Japanese migrant in Thailand, the long-term effect of Japanese immigrant will cultivate to Thailand society over generation in the sense of migrant management. As the first step of this study, tourists, non-immigrants, immigrants and 2nd generation of immigrants are issues compared and future approach possibly. Results of this study indicate; (1) The role of Japanese migrant push and pull factors are the essential point of development issues, (2) A few 2nd generation study of Japanese migrant in Thailand is crucial for government approach. (3) Limitation of migrant management system which relates to Japanese. Consequently, Japanese migrant increasing in Thailand; investment part to social adaptation and next generation migrant, the government should realize to reallocate the migration system such as social credibility from state/ company/ local government to Japanese migrant group. This study would strengthen linkages between Thai and Japanese sectors (investment enterprises, society, and positive diversity cultivation).

Published: June 2019

Due to the importance and special nature of kindergarten stage on children’s cognitive, social, emotional and psychological growth, this study aimed at identifying the main teaching competencies required for kindergarten teachers in China. To achieve this objective, an observation card was applied on a group of 41 teachers from different kindergartens. The findings of the study suggested, firstly, that the levels of teaching competencies might be divided into five levels. This classification might be attributed to the variables of the study; namely, specialization, qualification and teaching years of experience. Secondly, the findings also revealed that, on the one hand, there were statistically significant differences according to the variable of specialization and the years of experience. On the other hand, no significant differences were found due to the variable of academic qualification. On the basis of these findings, a group of recommendations were put forward.

Published: June 2019

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities have turn out to be important for corporate strategy in businesses. With an increased pressure from the stakeholders, these require the management of a company to be transparent and reliable in reporting their CSR activities. Perhaps, it is also imperative for the financial performance in a long term. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the extensiveness of corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD) among plantation and consumer products listed companies on Bursa Malaysia. Additionally, this study looking evidence on the relationship between CSRD and company financial performance (CFP) of selected companies. The data is obtained through content analysis of the company annual reports and stand-alone sustainability reports for the period of 2003-2013. Based on the stratified sampling method, 40 companies have been selected. The four independent variables are the CSR framework outlined by Bursa Malaysia (community, environment, marketplace and workplace) and the dependent variables (return on asset and Tobin’s Q) is used in this study. Data were analyzed using E-views software. The findings discovered that consumer product sector recorded the highest CSRD which the workplace dimension become the preference while plantation is the least sector. Furthermore, the findings from the panel data regression models on the impact of CSRD associated with CFP, it revealed that there is a mixed relationship associated with return on assets (ROA) and Tobin’s Q (TQ). The findings of this study were particularly important not only to the existing literature but also for both sectors to consider the importance of CSR activities in their business operation activities.

Authors: Gaire Pitamber , Ghimire Pramod
Published: June 2019

The present article primarily addresses the silvicultural system (i.e., irregular shelter wood system) in Sal forest adopted in both community and collaborative forest in Kapilbastu district of Nepal. Systematic sampling with 0.5 percent sampling intensity along with statistical tools like SPSS and MS-Excel were used for resource inventory and data analysis, respectively. The result of the study shows notable increase in seedling status during the first year (2015/16) in community forest. A decrease in sapling number during the second year (2016/17) was noticed in Tilaurakot collaborative forest at its initial level of implementation. At the same time, community forest has higher yield status with a smaller number of trees felled in Tilaurakot collaborative forest under regeneration felling. The regeneration status of species varied insignificantly (p>0.05) between the community forest and Tilaurakot collaborative forest. A recommendation is made for proper implementation of irregular shelter wood system for managing the existing degraded Sal forests of the Terai region of Nepal; however, its long-term effects on plant species diversity should also be further studied in detail.

Cómo se aproximan los artistas contemporáneos al tema de la mujer: En torno a la curaduría Iconografías femeninas
Authors: Toloza José Germán
Published: June 2019

Históricamente, los artistas han contribuido con sus obras, a instaurar un orden patriarcal en las representaciones femeninas usando estereotipos que aún tienden a ser vistos como patrones normales de belleza. El objetivo de este artículo es revisar y analizar cómo están abordando los artistas contemporáneos la figura femenina y el tema de las mujeres. El método utilizado fue conformar una exposición con artistas docentes e investigadores de España, México y Colombia, que abordan temas de las mujeres desde visiones y medios diversos. Se hizo una revisión comparativa entre ellos y con la historia de las iconografías femeninas. Se identificó como los métodos de creación funcionan como herramientas de activismo sociopolítico alrededor de las violencias de género y la sensibilización. Se concluye que eluden el espectáculo injustificado en sus obras, la importancia que tienen las prácticas culturales comunitarias en espacios marginales, y lo autobiográfico, donde se definen nuevos sentidos de intercambio simbólico.

Cooperativas como política habitacional para los centros históricos ¿Una alternativa frente al despoblamiento?
Authors: González Biffis Alejandra
Published: June 2019

Diversos procesos por los que han atravesado las sociedades a lo largo del tiempo, han acarreado un paulatino abandono y degradación de los centros históricos, hecho que ha conllevado en muchos de ellos, a una continua disminución de su población residente, que se ha trasladado hacia otras áreas de la ciudad en busca de mejores condiciones de vida. Este despoblamiento, ha impactado tanto en el vaciamiento del patrimonio residencial, como en la vitalidad de estos sectores, que han visto disminuida su multifuncionalidad. Esta situación, afecta a la integración física, social y económica del centros históricos como a la de toda la ciudad, al constituir una importante pieza del complejo mosaico urbano al que pertenece. El despoblamiento que aqueja a una gran parte de los centros históricos, tanto en América Latina como en el resto del mundo, ha planteado la necesidad de desarrollar variadas estrategias de intervención con el fin de frenar y revertir esta situación, mediante la conservación y/o recuperación de la residencialidad y multifuncionalidad, intentando reintegrarlos a la dinámica y funcionamiento de toda la ciudad y evitando que se configure como un sector histórico excluido y fragmentado -tanto física como socialmente-.
Con el fin de destacar el valor de la residencialidad y la importancia que adquieren las políticas habitacionales como estrategia frente al despoblamiento, el artículo reflexiona sobre el sistema de cooperativas empleado en la Ciudad Vieja de Montevideo -caso atractivo dado que aborda una problemática recurrente, con grandes dificultades para llevar adelante estrategias de intervención- , y deja planteadas ciertas inquietudes que este sistema suscita.

“THIS CASTLE WAS THE STRONGEST ONE IN RUS SINCE ANCIENT TIMES…”, – BELZ IN MARTIN GRUNEWEG’S TRAVEL NOTES
Authors: PETEHYRYCH Volodymyr
Published: June 2019

Part of Martin Gruneweg’s notes dedicated to Belz which was graciously given to the author by the outstanding Ukrainian historian Yaroslav Isaevych is analyzed. Martin Gruneweg (1562 – after 1615), who was born in Gdansk in family of German merchant, serve the Armenian merchants, became a member of the Order of Dominicans and became famous as the author of very interesting travel notes. Page of the Notes, which contains the references to Belz, is in the second part of Gruneweg’s description, where he talks about visit to cities and villages of Poland, Ukraine, Russia, the Balkan countries.
A brief description of the city from 1582 is considered in the context of other written and cartographic sources and the results of archaeological studying of Belz. Through information from the Notes data on urban fortifications, authenticity of which is well consistent with written sources older and later than Gruneweg’s description is obtained. It was confirmed that connection between different parts of the city, separated by water flows and swamps, was maintained by wooden dams and platforms, mentioned by Gruneweg and evidenced by results of archaeological researches. This feature of communications was also characteristic for neighboring city of Cherven. On the basis of Gruneweg's reports, date of the first mention of town-hall in Belz, which existed more than a century earlier, was revised. Settlements, listed in the context of the report about Belz, visited by Gruneweg during his travel allow us to partially reconstruct the route of his arrival to Belz, and further way to Lviv. It was established that direction of roads from the northwest from Lublin through Krasnostav, Tishivtsi to Belz and from there through Kulychkiv, Mosty, Kulykiv, Zashkov to Lviv almost did not change from Early Middle Ages till now. Gruneweg's notes about the Częstochowa icon confirm constant historical tradition, which relates one of the main relics of Poland precisely with Belz. Other messages, which also show importance of retrospective analysis of late medieval sources for the studying of Early Medieval cities, are interesting too.
Key words: Martin Gruneweg, Belz, written and archaeological sources, planning structure, retrospective analysis.

Published: June 2019

New materials from Trypillia settlement of Tymkiv in Middle Dnister region is published at the article. Unfortunately, it was robbed by illegal diggers. According to preserved materials, it was found that the site is multilayered; also contacts between local groups of Trypillia culture are noticeable.
The earliest layer of the site is presented by small collection of finds and belongs to the final of stage BI. We can find many analogies for it among ceramics from other settlements of this period. Ceramic complex of layer II of this settlement is dated back to stage BII. Its stylistics has features of the synthesis of traditions of paintings of two local groups of Trypillia culture of that time. Such ornamental schemes, as horizontal S-shaped arches, large vertical ovals connected by thin lines, elements of “facial” paintings on the great rims of craters are typical for ornamentation of ceramic ware of Mereshivka group. Vertical white and black parallel lines and stripes placed over ornamentation or simply on the surface of goblets represent bright influences of Shypyntsi traditions of paintings of ceramic ware from Tymkiv. The third layer belongs to settlement of the Petren group of stage CI.
Among fragments of ceramic ware from third layer of Tymkiv there are ones, which represent influences or “imports” according to their ornaments or forms. In particular, some stylistic and morphological features have analogies among tableware (and its ornaments) of Bădragii local group of Trypillia culture, the closest settlements of which are located not far from there, in the eastern part of modern Chernivtsi region.
Key words: Eneolithic, Trypillia, ceramic ware, ornamentation, stage BI, Mereshivka group, Shypyntsi group, Petren group.

Published: June 2019

Günümüzde okullarda artan
bir problem olarak görülen zorbalık “bir veya birden çok öğrencinin,
kendilerinden daha güçsüz öğrencileri, kasıtlı ve sürekli olarak rahatsız
etmesiyle sonuçlanan ve öğrencinin kendisini koruyamayacak durumda olduğu bir
saldırganlık türü” olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Çocukların bütünsel gelişiminde
önemli bir araç olarak görülen spora katılımın zorbalık davranışları üzerinde
bir etkisinin olup olmadığı incelenmelidir. Bu düşünceden hareketle, bu
araştırmada ortaokul öğrencilerinin zorbalık davranış eğilimlerinin spora
katılım açısından incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma nicel araştırma
yöntemlerinden betimleyici nitelikli tarama modelinde gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Verilerin elde edilmesinde, olasılıklı olmayan örnekleme yöntemlerinden amaçlı
örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılar Manisa’da 6. 7. 8. sınıflarda
öğrenim gören 300 ortaokul öğrencisidir. Veri toplama aracı olarak Satan (2006)
tarafından geliştirilen Zorbalık Davranış Eğilim Ölçeği (ZDEÖ) kullanılmıştır.
Veri analizinde bağımsız örneklemler t-testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi test
teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, spor yapmayan öğrencilerin ölçeğin
bütününe ait zorbalık puan ortalamalarının spor yapanlara göre anlamlı düzeyde
yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Benzer şekilde, verilerin cinsiyet değişkenine
göre analizinde, spor yapmayan kızların ölçeğin bütününe ait zorbalık puan
ortalamalarının spor yapan kızlara göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu tespit
edilmiştir. Sınıf değişkenine göre verilerin analizinde, 6 ve 8. sınıfların
duygu zorbalığı alt boyutu dışında ölçeğin tüm alt boyutlarında ve ölçek puan
ortalamasında spor yapmayanların zorbalık puanlarının anlamlı düzeyde yüksek
olduğu görülmüştür. Bu araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara dayalı olarak,
öğrencilerin spor faaliyetlerine düzenli olarak katılımının, akran zorbalığı
gibi istenmeyen davranışların azaltılmasında etkili olabileceği
düşünülmektedir.
‘[S]he acted her own emotions’: George Eliot's Ambivalence towards the Professional Female Artist in Daniel Deronda
Authors: Jones Jennifer Diann
Published: June 2019

Almost all of George Eliot's true musicians are orphans in one way or another, as opposed to accomplished women who merely mimic their teachers to please their parents or dilettantish men who play to please themselves. Only one of these musicians, however, exults in her orphanhood and the freedom it gives her to pursue her career: the Alcharisi, who is born Leonora Charisi and is the Princess Halm-Eberstein by the time her adult son, Daniel Deronda, meets her. Unlike Eliot's other musicians, not even a memory of one of the Alcharisi's performances is narrated; also unlike the others, there is no sense in which she uses her art to connect sympathetically with those around her. I argue that though Eliot begins her career with a strong belief that art can change society for the better, in the Alcharisi she explicitly expresses her deep ambivalence about the role of art in society. The trajectory of the Alcharisi's career and life suggest that though an artist can inspire love in others, she cannot necessarily learn to feel it herself, which calls Eliot's art and the feeling it inspires in others into question.
The Angel in the Publishing House: Authorial Self-Fashioning, Gender, and Orphanhood in Marie Corelli's Innocent
Authors: Scott Jennifer
Published: June 2019

The best-selling Victorian novelist Marie Corelli (1855–1924) is a literary figure enmeshed in contradictions. Famously refusing to identify as a New Woman writer, she was known for her womanly heroines and her own ultra-feminine style of dress. She shunned press photographers and ferociously protected her privacy. But Corelli was equally ferocious in her ambition for literary success and fame, and she does not altogether fit in with those women writers of the nineteenth century who staged an outer show of dominant domestic vocation and cast their fame as an unsought consequence of their natural genius. Through examination of Corelli's self-fashioned orphanhood, this article seeks to highlight her as an example of a fin-de-siècle woman writer who resisted consignment to the transgressive New Woman image and more traditional gender roles. Taking Corelli's critically neglected 1914 novel Innocent: Her Fancy and His Fact as its focal point, and analysing the success of her self-fashioning by drawing upon the remembrances of members of Corelli's local community in Stratford-upon-Avon, recorded as part of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust's Oral History Project, this article explores the ways in which Corelli strengthened her orphan identity in her later fiction and, in so doing, strove to legitimise female authorship and celebrity.
Spins of black holes in coalescing compact binaries
Authors: Postnov K A , Kuranov A G , Mitichkin N A
Published: June 2019

Modern astrophysical methods for determining spins of rotating stellar-mass black holes in close binaries and of supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei are briefly discussed. Effective spins of coalescing binary black holes derived from LIGO/Virgo gravitational wave observations are specially addressed. The effective spins of coalescing astrophysical binary black holes and black holes with neutron stars are calculated for two plausible models of black hole formation from stellar core collapses (without or with an additional fallback from the stellar envelope) taking the stellar metallicity and star formation rate evolution in the Universe into account. The calculated distributions are consistent with the reported LIGO/Virgo observations. Distributions of the effective spins expected in yet undiscovered neutron star – black hole binaries have been calculated. The effective spins of primordial coalescing stellar-mass black holes can reach a few percent due to the accretion spin-up in a cold external medium.
Functional Recording of Maxillo-mandibular Relationship Using Neutral Zone Technique- a Case Report
Authors: Harjani Sonali , Nooji Deviprasad
Published: June 2019

One of the most challenging cases dentists face is the rehabilitation of atrophic mandibular residual alveolar ridges. Such ridges present with a multitude of problems such as decrease in the denture foundation, retention and stability. Instability of denture bases can also give rise to an error in the maxillo-mandibular registrations. The neutral zone concept aims at the construction of complete dentures in the potential denture space, which ensures optimal denture contours and physiological arrangement of denture teeth as determined by the patient’s oral musculature, to enhance the stability and function of the prosthesis. This article presents a classical technique of recording the patient’s neutral zone with an improvised clinical step to record the patient’s maxillo-mandibular relation functionally. This technique can be practised routinely in cases of atrophied mandibular residual ridges to provide the patients with optimal complete denture therapy.

Key Words: Neutral zone, resorbed mandibular ridges, maxillo-mandibular records, denture stability
Impact of Different Shading Levels on Growth, Yield and Quality of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
Authors: Schulz Vanessa S. , Munz Sebastian , Stolzenburg Kerstin , Hartung Jens , Weisenburger Sebastian , Graeff-Hönninger Simone
Published: June 2019

In agroforestry systems (AFS), trees shade the understory crop to a certain extent. Potato is considered a shade-tolerant crop and was thus tested under the given total solar irradiance and climatic conditions of Southwestern Germany for its potential suitability in an AFS. To gain a better understanding of the effects of shade on growth, yield and quality; a three-year field experiment with different artificial shading levels (12%, 26% and 50%) was established. Significant changes in growth occurred at 50% shading. While plant emergence was not affected by shade, flowering was slightly delayed by about three days. Days until senescence also showed a delay under 50% shade. The number of tubers per plant and tuber mass per plant were reduced by about 53% and 69% under 50% shade. Depending on the year, tuber dry matter yield showed a decrease of 19–44% at 50% shade, while starch content showed no significant differences under shade compared to unshaded treatment. The number of stems per plant, plant height and foliage mass per plant as well as tuber fraction, black spot bruise and macronutrient content were unaffected. Overall, potato seems to tolerate shading and can therefore be integrated in an AFS, and can cope with a reduced total irradiance up to 26%.

By the use of molecular probes and perfusion radiotracers, it provides rapid and non-invasive evaluation of the function, physiology, and/or pathology of organs. The versatile chemistry of technetium-99m, due to its multi-oxidation states, and, consequently, the ability to produce a variety of complexes with particular desired characteristics, are the major advantages of this medical radionuclide. The advances in technetium coordination chemistry over the last 20 years, in combination with recent advances in detector technologies and reconstruction algorithms, make SPECT’s spatial resolution comparable to that of PET, allowing 99mTc radiopharmaceuticals to have an important role in nuclear medicine and to be particularly suitable for molecular imaging. In this review the most efficient chemical methods, based on the modern concept of the 99mTc-metal fragment approach, applied to the development of technetium-99m radiopharmaceuticals for molecular imaging, are described. A specific paragraph is dedicated to the development of new 99mTc-based radiopharmaceuticals for prostate cancer.

Cost effective imaging is required for a wide range of scientific and engineering applications. For electromagnetic waves in the terahertz (THz) frequency range, a key missing element that has prevented widespread applications in this spectral range is an inexpensive and efficient imaging device. In recent years, vanadium oxide based thermal sensors have rapidly entered the market for night vision capability. At the same time, sensors based on this technology have been applied to the THz domain, but with two orders of magnitude larger pricing range. Here we show that, with a simple modification, a commercially available thermal imaging camera can function as a THz imaging device. By comparing a commercially available THz camera and this low-cost device, we identify the main sensitivity difference is not attributed to anything intrinsic to the devices, but rather to the analog-to-digital converter and dynamic background subtraction capability. This demonstration of a low-cost THz camera may aid in the rapid development of affordable THz imaging solutions for industrial and scientific applications.

In this study, we propose a novel approach to prepare few-layer graphene (FLG) dispersions, which is realized by exfoliating natural graphite flakes in a surfactant aqueous solution under hydrothermal treatment and liquid-phase exfoliation. In order to obtain stable and well-dispersed FLG dispersions, pristine graphite is hydrothermally expanded in a hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) aqueous solution at 180 °C for 15 h, followed by sonication up to 3 h. In comparison to long-time sonication methods, the present method is significantly efficient, and most importantly, does not involve the use of an oxidizing agent and hazardous media, which will make it more competent in the scalable production of graphene.

The enhanced post-cracking properties of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC), as compared to plain concrete (PC), are extensively proven by many experimental findings. However, still limited experimental data are available on the behavior of such materials in long-term conditions and durability. This paper shows results from a study lasting for about seven years, which was for a final discussion on the behavior in the short and long-term of steel and polyester FRC beams with conventional steel reinforcement, after being exposed to sustained service loading and natural environmental agents for 72 months. After 28 days of curing in laboratory conditions, the beams were moved to the exposure site and loaded up to service conditions. The evolution of the crack pattern was monitored and recorded over time. After this long exposure the beams were subjected to a four point bending test in order to evaluate their residual mechanical behavior. Eventually, the beams were cut, in order to carry out durability tests for the evaluation of the carbonation depth and chloride penetration. The experimental results highlight the favorable effects of short fibers in reducing crack width and enhancing flexural stiffness. The presence of short structural fibers appears also to play a useful role in delaying creep effects inside the concrete beams. Finally, the experimental cracking behavior is compared with the one computed by applying the fib Model Code 2010 for the bearing capacity and crack width prediction.

The use of self-compacting concrete (SCC) reinforced with fibers has great potential in the precast concrete industry as the concrete can be delivered straight into the moulds, without any vibration or compacting effort. Similarly, it has the potential to replace traditional steel reinforcement depending on the design requirements. Novel synthetic fibers have recently become available in the market, but still, limited information is available on the performance of SCC reinforced with such fibers. This paper investigates the use of twisted-bundle macro-synthetic fiber in self-compacting concrete. Three different concrete mixtures with fiber dosage of 4, 6, and 8 kg/m3 were produced in large scale batches, and their performance was compared in terms of slump-flow, compressive strength, split tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and flexural strength. Moreover, a comprehensive evaluation of the post-cracking residual strength is presented. It was found that the mixture with 4 kg/m3 fiber content has the most satisfactory flowability, whereas 8 kg/m3 mixture achieved the highest residual flexural strength. Based on the observed post-cracking behavior, a simplified stress-crack opening constitutive law is proposed. Since the fiber dosage affects the residual flexural strength, a factor related to fiber content is recommended while determining the ultimate residual flexural strength.
A Novel Algorithm for Structural Reliability Analysis Based on Finite Step Length and Armijo Line Search
Authors: Huang Peng , Huang Hong-Zhong , Huang Tudi
Published: June 2019

This paper presents a novel algorithm for structural reliability analysis based on the finite step length and Armijo line search to remove the drawbacks of the Hasofer–Lind and Rakwitz–Fiessler (HL-RF) algorithm that may be subjected to non-convergence in the first-order reliability method (FORM). Initially, the sensitivity factor with finite step length is introduced for preventing the iterative process of the algorithm from entering a periodic loop. Subsequently, an optimization method based on the sufficient descent condition with the Armijo line search technique is proposed. With that, the initial step length and adjusting coefficient are optimized to enhance the applicability of the algorithm emphatically for highly nonlinear functions. A comparison analysis is carried out between the proposed algorithm and existing FORM-based algorithms to validate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm. The results of this demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is superior to the HL-RF algorithm in terms of robustness and surpass the other existing FORM-based algorithms in connection to efficiency.

Recently, with the advent of various Internet of Things (IoT) applications, a massive amount of network traffic is being generated. A network operator must provide different quality of service, according to the service provided by each application. Toward this end, many studies have investigated how to classify various types of application network traffic accurately. Especially, since many applications use temporary or dynamic IP or Port numbers in the IoT environment, only payload-based network traffic classification technology is more suitable than the classification using the packet header information as well as payload. Furthermore, to automatically respond to various applications, it is necessary to classify traffic using deep learning without the network operator intervention. In this study, we propose a traffic classification scheme using a deep learning model in software defined networks. We generate flow-based payload datasets through our own network traffic pre-processing, and train two deep learning models: 1) the multi-layer long short-term memory (LSTM) model and 2) the combination of convolutional neural network and single-layer LSTM models, to perform network traffic classification. We also execute a model tuning procedure to find the optimal hyper-parameters of the two deep learning models. Lastly, we analyze the network traffic classification performance on the basis of the F1-score for the two deep learning models, and show the superiority of the multi-layer LSTM model for network packet classification.

Pistacia atlantica, which belongs to the Anacardiaceae family, is an important species for rural people in arid and semi-arid areas. The fruit, rich in oil, is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases. The oil extracted from this species growing in a northern area of Algeria and its fatty acid composition were previously studied. However, the largest areas where this species is present (traditional cultivation) is located in southern Algeria. Moreover, studies on oil fatty acid composition and essential oil were always conducted separately. This study was performed in order to assess the fatty acid and volatile organic compound composition of P. atlantica vegetable oil. The seeds were collected randomly from Djelfa (300 km South of Algiers, Algeria). Oil content and fatty acid composition were determined by Soxhlet extraction. The seeds contained high concentrations of oil (32–67%). The major fatty acids were oleic (39–49%), linoleic (23.6–31%), and palmitic (21.3–26.6%) acids. The ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) to saturated fatty acids (SFA) indicated that the content of unsaturated fatty acids was approximately three times higher than that of SFA. This ratio is widely used in epidemiological studies and research on cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. The ratios of ω-acids, i.e., ω-9/ω-6 and ω-6/ω-3, were 1.3–2 and 18.5–38.3, respectively. Crushed seeds were analyzed by headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. More than 40 compounds were identified, mainly monoterpenes (C10H16), such as α-terpinene and terpinolene, but also sesquiterpenes (C15H24) at lower levels. The value of this species as a source of healthy oil rich in ω-3 acid and its effects on cardiovascular disease risk are discussed.

Published: June 2019

The current preclinical and clinical findings demonstrate that, in addition to the conventional clinical and pathological indicators that have a prognostic value in radiation oncology, the number of cancer stem cells (CSCs) and their inherent radioresistance are important parameters for local control after radiotherapy. In this review, we discuss the molecular mechanisms of CSC radioresistance attributable to DNA repair mechanisms and the development of CSC-targeted therapies for tumor radiosensitization. We also discuss the current challenges in preclinical and translational CSC research including the high inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity, plasticity of CSCs, and microenvironment-stimulated tumor cell reprogramming.

The search for effective methods of cancer treatment and prevention has been a continuous effort since the disease was discovered. Recently, there has been increasing interest in exploring plants and fruits for molecules that may have potential as either adjuvants or as chemopreventive agents against cancer. One of the promising compounds under extensive research is nobiletin (NOB), a polymethoxyflavone (PMF) extracted exclusively from citrus peel. Not only does nobiletin itself exhibit anti-cancer properties, but its derivatives are also promising chemopreventive agents; examples of derivatives with anti-cancer activity include 3′-demethylnobiletin (3′-DMN), 4′-demethylnobiletin (4′-DMN), 3′,4′-didemethylnobiletin (3′,4′-DMN) and 5-demethylnobiletin (5-DMN). In vitro studies have demonstrated differential efficacies and mechanisms of NOB and its derivatives in inhibiting and killing of colon cancer cells. The chemopreventive potential of NOB has also been well demonstrated in several in vivo colon carcinogenesis animal models. NOB and its derivatives target multiple pathways in cancer progression and inhibit several of the hallmark features of colorectal cancer (CRC) pathophysiology, including arresting the cell cycle, inhibiting cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, preventing tumour formation, reducing inflammatory effects and limiting angiogenesis. However, these substances have low oral bioavailability that limits their clinical utility, hence there have been numerous efforts exploring better drug delivery strategies for NOB and these are part of this review. We also reviewed data related to patents involving NOB to illustrate the extensiveness of each research area and its direction of commercialisation. Furthermore, this review also provides suggested directions for future research to advance NOB as the next promising candidate in CRC chemoprevention.
