Published: April 2018

The practice of teaching translation was often done by discussing translation theories and translating texts in the classroom. However, the problem is students also need to have a real-life experience as professional translators that will be useful for them in the future. This paper presents the findings of a research study conducted in a translation class of English Education Department students in the State Islamic University of North Sumatra. The research is about Translation Agency Project as innovation strategy to teach translation subject. The students were assigned to develop their own translation agency by promoting their agency, handling the clients, and translating the texts. The objective of this research is to identify the challenges faced by the students in running their Translation Agency Project. It also includes how students cope with those challenges. Finally, it describes the benefits of using Translation Agency Project in teaching translation. The method of this research is descriptive qualitative method for translation studies (Toury, 1995) based on theoretical research compared to a survey applied to students of English Education Department who have learned about translation theories. As a result, after analyzing the data, it can be seen that the biggest challenge the students faced in conducting their translation agency is advertising the translation agency (43%), meeting with clients (36%), and translating the texts (21%). Finally, after analyzing the survey, it shows that translation Agency Project is an effective and recommended strategy to teach translation theories in the class.

In this contemporary world, English is used to link the communication among people internationally for different universal purposes (Crystal, 2003; Jenkins, 2010; and Kirkpatrick, 2011), for instance, educational advancement, career development, technology, and international relation. It is obvious that the function of English during this period of time has made some countries generate policies to include English as one of the compulsory subjects being taught at schools. However, the materials which are used in school practices are likely to focus on the target culture materials. Due to this reason, it seems that the role of local and target cultures in teaching the language should be taken into consideration. Related to the status of English to the importance of culture in language learning, this research aims at investigating English teachers’ perspectives on the appropriateness of materials in English Language Teaching. In order to get broader pictures, questionnaires and interview were conducted to two English teachers in Samarinda.  The results were interesting as both teachers preferred to expand the materials rather than used the readily materials provided by the school and/or the institution. This created them to become material developers and creators. Other results showed that the teachers were aware of the importance of the cultural content in the materials, thus culture functioned as ‘a filer and a connecting bridge’ in ELT.

A aplicação da Moringa oleífera em pesquisas, testes e analises vem conquistando espaço. O presente trabalho busca por meio dessas pesquisas cientificas apontar uma nova forma de tratamento de água, utilizando a Moringa oleífera, como coagulante natural. Para utilizar a semente como coagulante, preparou-se uma solução leitosa extraída da mesma, o qual foi o meio utilizado para garantir o processo.  Diversos estudos apontam que os produtos produzidos por esta planta, trazem diversos benefícios para a saúde e para a indústria, seja ela, bioquímica, alimentícia e biocombustível. Outra grande importância da Moringa oleífera esta sendo na aplicação da mesma no processo de tratamento de água, sendo está uma alternativa sustentável, econômica, viável e de fácil acesso, principalmente para a região do semiárido brasileiro, onde a planta se encontra em maior abundancia. Seu processo de coagulação e floculação dá-se pelo fato da mesma possuir uma proteína catódica, com alto peso molecular que desestabiliza as partículas presentes na água e flocula os coloides. A Moringa oleífera reduz drasticamente o número de partículas suspensas e também reduz a quantidade de microrganismos. A semente possui agentes coagulantes que ajudam na remoção da turbidez, da cor e coliformes presentes na água, além de não alterar o pH da mesma.

Published: April 2018

A ansiedade é uma disfunção emocional que causa sérios prejuízos na vida de um sujeito, e passa a ser reconhecida como patológica quando são exagerados, desproporcionais em relação ao estímulo, ou qualitativamente distintos do que se observa como norma, interferindo assim na qualidade de vida, no conforto emocional ou no desempenho diário do indivíduo. Objetivos: Essa pesquisa tem como objetivo a realização de uma breve revisão bibliográfica a respeito do TAG e das técnicas Cognitiva e Comportamentais mais eficazes no tratamento do TAG, descrever os sintomas da ansiedade generalizada e compreender como as estratégias da Terapia Cognitivo-Comportamental podem ser aplicadas no tratamento psicoterapêutico da ansiedade generalizada. Métodos: Refere-se a um trabalho de revisão bibliográfica, o qual se utilizou de vinte materiais bibliográficos para sua produção. Resultados/Discussão: Pode-se observar que a terapia cognitivo para o TAG, tem grande eficácia, pois oferece ao sujeito uma variabilidade de técnicas que são empregadas de maneira combinadas que causam impacto sobre o transtorno, porque o sujeito passa a vir a preocupação como um processo normal do desenvolvimento humano e não mais como algo patológico, pois o indivíduo é ensinado a reconhecer suas preocupações como um comportamento de aproximação – evitação.

Fornecendo uma análise reflexiva sobre o conceito de felicidade postulado por Sigmund Freud em seu trabalho intitulado como “O Mal Estar na Civilização”, obra na qual Freud desenvolveu reflexões que contemplam as exigências impostas pela civilização e a busca incansável pela felicidade, correlacionando com a dificuldade da então plenitude da existência, ou felicidade plena. Objetivos: Compreender e conceituar o conceito de felicidade e sua dinâmica na perspectiva de Freud, utilizando os percursores da obra supracitada. Métodos: Trata-se de uma análise literária com revisão bibliográfica, pois realizou-se uma leitura e busca de materiais literários que dialogassem com a perspectiva da obra e autor principal. Resultados/Discussão: o conceito de felicidade e a sua dinâmica está relacionado com os fatores psíquicos e a forma de defesa do ego, observou-se como ocorre à sublimação, mecanismo de defesa proposto por Freud, durante esse processo, e como essa dificuldade em lidar com o real pode desencadeia uma histeria coletiva, a saber, a histeria das massas, a partir da inserção do indivíduo na sociedade do espetáculo. Consideração: apesar do tempo em que a obra foi escrita pode-se olha para a sociedade atual e observar uma histeria das massas na contemporaneidade, levando em conta as características da cultura contemporânea e como os indivíduos vêm se posicionando frente a ela.

Published: April 2018

Os fatores de risco extrínsecos para quedas parecem ser os mais reconhecidos pelos idosos. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se existem diferentes percepções dos idosos sobre esses fatores em casa e na rua. Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, por meio de análise de conteúdo. Os dados foram coletados através entrevistas face-a-face por intermédio de um questionário semiestruturado. Os resultados encontrados foram baseados em uma amostra composta por 22 idosos (60+) de Porto Alegre, com idade média de 70,2±7,1 anos. Na realização da categorização dos dados, os fatores de risco extrínsecos foram subdivididos em duas subcategorias (“casa” e “rua”) demonstrando que, os idosos falam mais sobre os fatores de risco domésticos, porém aqueles encontrados na rua são considerados mais perigosos. Os achados desse trabalho são importantes a serem considerados já que o local com maior prevalência de quedas é a residência do idoso. Idosos mais ativos, muitas vezes não percebem os riscos à que estão expostos na realização das atividades de vida diária, pois as realizam naturalmente. Os fatores de risco extrínsecos devem ser abordados de maneira diferenciada já que, por meio desse trabalho, foi verificado que os riscos em casa e na rua são percebidos de maneiras diferentes. Uma abordagem menos objetiva, entendendo os significados atribuídos a cada fator de risco é importante para conseguir prevenir as quedas de forma mais eficaz.

ВНУТРІШНІЙ СВІТ ЯК СИСТЕМА З ВИСОКИМ СТУПЕНЕМ НЕЛІНІЙНОСТІ
Authors: Papucha Mykola
Published: April 2018

У статті аналізується істотна відмінність системи «внутрішній світ» від інших систем високої складності і нелінійності, яка полягає в її керованості (не лише собою, своєю динамікою – самоорганізація), а й зовнішнім по відношенню до системи фактором – людиною, яка цю систему має. Доводиться, що особистість, і тільки вона, виступає  суб’єктом власного внутрішнього світу. Відмічається, що внутрішній світ має такі обов’язкові параметри, як великий рівень складності, висока нелінійність, упорядкованість і структурованість (а отже – ієрархізованість), сингулярність, здатність до продуктивності, розвитку і саморозвитку. Підкреслюється, що здійснення управлінсько-регулятивних (власне, суб’єктних) функцій по відношенню до внутрішнього світу відбувається через його структурування і переструктурування, у тому числі і основним чином в процесі цілком зовнішньої діяльності.

DEVELOPING A MALWARE ANALYSIS SYSTEM ON DISTRIBUTED ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Nguyen Khoi Tan
Published: April 2018

Malware is one of the major threats on the Internet today. To protect from the rapid propagation of malware in the network, we need to focus on determining how malware can be analyzed, detected, and blocked analyze and detect. As distributed processing model have been recently developed due to the cloud computing platform and the cluster filesystem, they could be usefully applied to analyzing malware. In this paper, we propose a malware analysis method based on the MapReduce software framework of the distributed processing platform. The proposed solution allows to reduce the time of analyzing and identifying malware. The experimental results show that the MapReduce-based flow analysis method improves the performance when analyzing a large number of malware.

This paper is to derive the optimal time splitting ratio for wireless energy harvesting DF dua-hop relaying networks. Using the partial relay selection, the best relay having the largest harvesting energy is chosen to be the forward for the second hop. We also derive the closed form expression for the optimal time splitting ratio that maximizes the system instantaneous capacity. Numerical results have shown that the system with the optimal time splitting ratio can significantly  improve instantaneous and ergodic system capacity at high signal-to-noise ratios for the same channel and system settings.
Composition of Bird Nests is a Species-Specific Characteristic
Authors: Biddle Lucia E. , Broughton Robyn E. , Goodman Adrian M. , Deeming D. Charles
Published: April 2018

Bird nests represent an extended phenotype of individuals expressed during reproduction and so exhibit variability in composition, structure and function. Descriptions of nests based on qualitative observations suggest that there is interspecific variation in size and composition but there are very few species in which this has been confirmed. For these species, data of the amounts of different materials indicate that nest construction behaviour is plastic and affected by a variety of factors, such as prevailing temperature, geographic location, and availability of materials. The lack of data on nest composition is hampering our understanding of how nests achieve their various functions and how different species solve the problem of building a nest that will accommodate incubation and allow successful hatching of eggs. This study deconstructed nests of four species of the Turdidae, four species of the Muscicapidae, and six species of the Fringillidae and quantified the size of the nests and their composition. These data were used to test: (1) whether nest size correlated with adult bird mass; (2) whether it was possible to distinguish between species on the basis of their nest composition; and (3) whether, within a species, it was possible to distinguish between the cup lining and the rest of the nest based on composition. Most but not all nest dimensions correlated with bird mass. Principal component analysis revealed species differences based on nest composition and discriminant analysis could distinguish cup lining from the outer nest based on material composition. Intraspecific variation in composition varied among species and in general fewer types of material were found in the cup lining than the outer nest. These data provide insight into how nests are constructed by the different species and in conjunction with studies of the mechanical, thermal and hydrological properties of a nest, will begin to reveal how and why individual species select particular combinations of materials to build a nest.
Characterisation of Castor (Ricinus communis L.) Seed Quality Using Fourier Transform Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Combination with Multivariate Data Analysis
Authors: Gislum René , Nikneshan Pejman , Shrestha Santosh , Tadayyon Ali , Deleuran Lise Christina , Boelt Birte
Published: April 2018

The potential of single-seed near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was investigated to characterise castor seeds based on their seed viability and seed oil content. Distinct differences between viable and non-viable seeds were observed in the principal component analysis (PCA) analysis. Furthermore, the PCA compared heavy and medium seeds with light seeds, which were comparable to the clusters of viable and non-viable seeds, respectively. Prediction accuracies of 98.7% and 99.6% were obtained with the partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) model with a classification error rate of 0.8% and 1.1% for the training set and test set, respectively. The NIR spectral regions having chemical information from the oil in castor seeds were found to be vital for determination of seed viability.
Euthanasia of Cattle: Practical Considerations and Application
Authors: Shearer Jan Keith
Published: April 2018

Acceptable methods for the euthanasia of cattle include overdose of an anesthetic, gunshot and captive bolt. The use of anesthetics for euthanasia is costly and complicates carcass disposal. These issues can be avoided by use of a physical method such as gunshot or captive bolt; however, each requires that certain conditions be met to assure an immediate loss of consciousness and death. For example, the caliber of firearm and type of bullet are important considerations when gunshot is used. When captive bolt is used, a penetrating captive bolt loaded with the appropriate powder charge and accompanied by a follow up (adjunctive) step to assure death are required. The success of physical methods also requires careful selection of the anatomic site for entry of a “free bullet” or “bolt” in the case of penetrating captive bolt. Disease eradication plans for animal health emergencies necessitate methods of euthanasia that will facilitate rapid and efficient depopulation of animals while preserving their welfare to the greatest extent possible. A portable pneumatic captive bolt device has been developed and validated as effective for use in mass depopulation scenarios. Finally, while most tend to focus on the technical aspects of euthanasia, it is extremely important that no one forget the human cost for those who may be required to perform the task of euthanasia on a regular basis. Symptoms including depression, grief, sleeplessness and destructive behaviors including alcoholism and drug abuse are not uncommon for those who participate in the euthanasia of animals.
A Feasibility Study of Photoacoustic Detection of Hidden Dental Caries Using a Fiber-Based Imaging System
Authors: Koyama Takuya , Kakino Satoko , Matsuura Yuji
Published: April 2018

In this paper, the feasibility of an optical fiber-based photoacoustic imaging system for detecting caries lesions inside a tooth is examined. Models of hidden caries were prepared using a pigment with an absorption spectrum similar to that of real caries lesions, and the occlusal surface of the model teeth containing the pigment was irradiated with laser pulses with a wavelength of 532 nm. An examination of the frequency spectra of the emitted photoacoustic waves revealed that the spectra from simulated caries lesions included frequency components in the range of 0.5–1.2 MHz that were not seen in the spectra from healthy parts of the teeth. This indicates that hidden caries can be detected via a photoacoustic imaging technique. Accordingly, an imaging system for clinical applications was fabricated. It consists of a bundle of hollow-optical fibers for laser radiation and an acoustic probe that is attached to the tooth surface. Results of ex vivo imaging experiments using model teeth and an extracted tooth with hidden caries lesions show that relatively large caries lesions inside teeth that are not seen in visual inspections can be detected by focusing on the above frequency components of the photoacoustic waves.
A New Mixture Refrigerant for Space Heating Air Source Heat Pump: Theoretical Modelling and Performance Analysis
Authors: Kong Xiangrui , Zhang Yufeng , Nie Jinzhe
Published: April 2018

Air source heat pump (ASHP) is becoming a substitute for small coal boilers in rural residential buildings of North China. However, the application of ASHP faces challenges of heating capacity, energy efficiency, ozone depletion potential (ODP) and global warming potential (GWP). Proper refrigerant is a key factor influences the performance of ASHP. In this paper, a new mixture refrigerant named RHR-1 is proposed, which aimed to improve energy efficiency, eliminate ODP and reduce GWP of ASHP refrigerant. The performance of RHR-1 was analyzed and compared with commonly used refrigerants including R134a, R410A, R407C and R22 in terms of heating coefficient of performance (COPh), compression ratio (CR) and discharging temperature (DT). The results show that, under the design cases, where supply water temperatures vary from 35 °C to 50 °C and outdoor air temperatures vary from −15 °C to 15 °C, the COPh of RHR-1 are in the range of 2.43–4.93. The COPh of RHR-1 is higher than other candidates when the supply water temperature is above 40 °C. The CR and DT of RHR-1 are in medium levels of the compared samples. A logarithmic regression equation was deduced to get the relationship of COPh with temperature difference between supply water and outdoor air which suggested the temperature difference should be controlled within 47.5 °C to get reasonable COPh. In addition, RHR-1 has no ODP, and its GWP is 279, which is much lower than other candidates. RHR-1 could be a reasonable refrigerant used in ASHP for space heating in North China.

This paper aims to study interface shear performance between porous polyurethane mixture (PPM) and asphalt mixture with different adhesive materials. Polyurethane, epoxy resin, and SBS (styrene–butadiene–styrene) modified asphalt were selected as adhesive materials to fabricate composite specimens. The interface shear strength and shear fatigue life of composite specimen was measured using inclined shear test. The research results emphasizes that it is necessary to apply adhesive material to the interface between PPM and asphalt mixture, since the untreated interface shear strength is smaller than the ones between two asphalt mixtures. The interface shear strength is affected by the thickness of adhesive layer, temperature, and freezing–thaw condition. In general, the greatest interface shear strength was achieved by using epoxy resin followed by polyurethane and then SBS modified asphalt at 25 °C as the adhesive layer thickness is the same. However, the interface shear strengths of composite specimen with three adhesive materials are similar to each other at high and low temperatures (60 °C and −18 °C) or after freezing–thaw cycles. On the other hand, the composite specimen with epoxy resin as adhesive material has the longest fatigue life; while the SBS modified asphalt has the least fatigue life at 25 °C. The research findings can help select the appropriate adhesive materials and increase the durability and service life of pavement when PPM is used as road surface layer for safety and noise reduction.
Ultrasound-Based Liver Stiffness Surveillance in Patients Treated for Chronic Hepatitis B or C

Published: April 2018

Evolving modes of ultrasound-based elastography have achieved promising validity and reliability for evaluating liver fibrosis. Liver stiffness (LS) is a valuable biomarker for modeling liver disease progression and regression on a continuous noncategorical scale as changes in LS per year or for determining the LS progression or regression rate for refining LS measurement (LSM)-based prognostics. The paradigm of LSMs has altered the focus from liver fibrosis staging alone to comprehensive liver-relevant risk estimations. However, diverse ranges of cohort characteristics, disease types, surveillance protocols and timeframes, necroinflammatory resolutions or biochemical responses (BRs), factors explaining the magnitude or kinetics in LS change, virologic responses (VRs), fibrosis reversals (FRs), and noninvasive surveillance results have rarely been reviewed collectively. Elastography-based LS surveillance alone conveys chronological and valuable patient information and assists in characterizing worldwide patient cohorts under antiviral treatment by delineating the concurrent time elapsed, VR, BR, and FR. In groups with uniform VRs to direct-acting antivirals for chronic hepatitis C and nucleoside and nucleotide analogs for chronic hepatitis B, decline in LS can be explained using concurrent BR from 24 weeks to 3 years, followed by FR and the time elapsed.

Solar radiation is one of the most important factors influencing the temperature distribution on bridge girder cross-sections. The bridge temperature distribution can be estimated using estimation models that incorporate solar radiation data; however, such data could be cost- or time-prohibitive to obtain. A review of literature was carried out on estimation models for solar radiation parameters, including the global solar radiation, beam solar radiation and diffuse solar radiation. Solar radiation data from eight cities in Fujian Province in southeastern China were obtained on site. Solar radiation models applicable to Fujian, China were proposed and verified using the measured data. The linear Ångström–Page model (based on sunshine duration) can be used to estimate the daily global solar radiation. The Collares-Pereira and Rabl model and the Hottel model can be used to estimate the hourly global solar radiation and the beam solar radiation, respectively. Three bridges were chosen as case study, for which the temperature distribution on girder cross-sections were monitored on site. Finite element models (FEM) of cross-sections of bridge girders were implemented using the Midas program. The temperature–time curves obtained from FEM showed very close agreement with the measured values for summertime. Ignoring the solar radiation effect would result in lower and delayed temperature peaks. However, the influence of solar radiation on the temperature distribution in winter is negligible.

Photobioelectrochemical systems are an emerging possibility for renewable energy. By exploiting photosynthesis, they transform the energy of light into electricity. This study evaluates a simple, scalable bioelectrochemical system built from recycled plastic bottles, equipped with an anode made from recycled aluminum, and operated with the green alga Chlorella sorokiniana. We tested whether such a system, referred to as a bio-bottle-voltaic (BBV) device, could operate outdoors for a prolonged time period of 35 days. Electrochemical characterisation was conducted by measuring the drop in potential between the anode and the cathode, and this value was used to calculate the rate of charge accumulation. The BBV systems were initially able to deliver ~500 mC·bottle−1·day−1, which increased throughout the experimental run to a maximum of ~2000 mC·bottle−1·day−1. The electrical output was consistently and significantly higher than that of the abiotic BBV system operated without algal cells (~100 mC·bottle−1·day−1). The analysis of the rate of algal biomass accumulation supported the hypothesis that harvesting a proportion of electrons from the algal cells does not significantly perturb the rate of algal growth. Our finding demonstrates that bioelectrochemical systems can be built using recycled components. Prototypes of these systems have been displayed in public events; they could serve as educational toolkits in schools and could also offer a solution for powering low-energy devices off-grid.
NF-κB, the Importance of Being Dynamic: Role and Insights in Cancer
Authors: Colombo Federica , Zambrano Samuel , Agresti Alessandra
Published: April 2018

In this review, we aim at describing the results obtained in the past years on dynamics features defining NF-κB regulatory functions, as we believe that these developments might have a transformative effect on the way in which NF-κB involvement in cancer is studied. We will also describe technical aspects of the studies performed in this context, including the use of different cellular models, culture conditions, microscopy approaches and quantification of the imaging data, balancing their strengths and limitations and pointing out to common features and to some open questions. Our emphasis in the methodology will allow a critical overview of literature and will show how these cutting-edge approaches can contribute to shed light on the involvement of NF-κB deregulation in tumour onset and progression. We hypothesize that this “dynamic point of view” can be fruitfully applied to untangle the complex relationship between NF-κB and cancer and to find new targets to restrain cancer growth.

The hypothesis that an atypical hemispheric specialization is associated to developmental dyslexia (DD) is receiving renewed interest, lending some support to Orton’s theory. In this article, we investigated whether interhemispheric transfer processes (IHT) are likely to be involved in developmental dyslexia. In this study, we tested 13 children with developmental dyslexia and 13 matched controls (aged 8 to 13 years) in four different tasks. In a tactile transfer task, the dyslexic children’s performance was less accurate. In a standard Poffenberger paradigm, dyslexic children performed slower than the controls in all conditions and did not show any difference between crossed and uncrossed conditions. Furthermore, they showed an increased asymmetry of performance according to the responding hand, while controls gave more coherent responses. In a visual task of object orientation discrimination, dyslexic children had slower Response Times (RTs) than controls, especially for mirror-reversed objects in the right visual field. Finally, a higher number of dyslexic children showed mirror-drawing or mirror-writing with respect to controls. Our results as a whole show that children with DD are impaired in interhemispheric transfer, although the differences in performance among dyslexic individuals suggest the impairment of different psychophysiological mechanisms. As such, a common origin in terms of connectivity problems is proposed.

In this work, the development of a highly active noble metal phosphide (NMXPY)-based hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalyst with a high hydrogenating ability for heavy oils was studied. NMXPY catalysts were obtained by reduction of P-added noble metals (NM-P, NM: Rh, Pd, Ru) supported on SiO2. The order of activities for the hydrogenation of biphenyl was Rh-P > NiMoS > Pd-P > Ru-P. This order was almost the same as that of the catalytic activities for the HDS of dibenzothiophene. In the HDS of 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT), the HDS activity of the Rh-P catalyst increased with increasing reaction temperature, but the maximum HDS activity for the NiMoS catalyst was observed at 270 °C. The Rh-P catalyst yielded fully hydrogenated products with high selectivity compared with the NiMoS catalyst. Furthermore, XRD analysis of the spent Rh-P catalysts revealed that the Rh2P phase possessed high sulfur tolerance and resistance to sintering.

Chemical reactions of amino acids induced by discharge plasma are important for understanding the mechanism of biological effects of discharge plasma in biomedical applications. In this study, we generated a nano-second pulsed discharge plasma under atmospheric pressure over an aqueous solution containing glycine. The reaction products after the pulsed discharge plasma treatments were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy. The oligomerization reaction of glycine was induced in aqueous solution and produced glycine oligomers at the beginning of the discharge plasma. However, the glycine oligomers were decomposed into products with low molecular weight by excessive pulsed discharge plasma. According to comparative experiments, physical force of the plasma is believed to induce the glycine reaction. Moreover, the reactions depended on the pH, but not the conductivity, of the glycine solution. Glycine in aqueous solution was reacted by the discharge plasma only at neutral pH because the reaction proceeded only when glycine ions were in the zwitterionic state. Anions and cations of glycine reacted very little under the discharge plasma.
