Positioning the Chinese Princess of Peace in World Literature
Authors: Dewi Novita
Published: March 2019

The novel Putri Cina or The Chinese Princess by Sindhunata builds on the intertextuality of various texts such as myths, chronicles, history, and pop culture. In the light of René Girard’s theory of desire, revenge, and scapegoating, this study aims (1) to show the inter-relationship among the texts in question; and (2) placing this novel in the work of World Literature. Through qualitative research methods and close reading techniques, this study finds out that Putri Cina recounts the history of conflicts to promote peace rather than revenge. The novel narrates such conflicts as the war between the descendants of the Javanese kings; the feud between the Chinese and Javanese people in colonial time; and the May 1998 ethnic riots in Indonesia. It concludes that it is necessary to circulate the narrative of the Chinese Princess as a peace ambassador in World Literature through the process of adaptation and translation. In a world prone to conflict, literary works can be effective agents of transformation.

CROSS-LINGUISTIC TRANSFER CLASSROOM L3 ACQUISITION IN UNIVERSITY SETTING
Authors: Sokolova M. , Plisov E.
Published: March 2019

Introduction: the paper investigates cross-linguistic influences between the two previously learnt languages and their effects on classroom L3 acquisition. The study checks the predictions of the existing theories of mechanisms of transfer into the L3 attested for naturalistic learners. The main predictions get confirmed with the population of classroom learners of English as the L3. All the participants are native speakers of Russian. They all learnt their dominant foreign language, either French or German, in the classroom. The results suggest a governing role of the Universal Grammar in classroom language learning. Materials and Methods: the experiment uses three production tasks: written production, oral production and pronunciation task. The written assignment asks the participants to translate sentences from Russian into English. The target sentence contains the existential there are that does not exist in Russian. The way the participants structure the target sentence in English allows for conclusion about possible influences of the first foreign language on the development of their L3- English. In the oral production task, the participants are prompted to produce negative sentences. The influences from previously learnt languages is traced through the placement of the negation not. In the pronunciation task Praat was used to measure the duration and the formant frequency of the nasal [N] in English. Differences in sound quality trace back to the influences from the previously learnt languages. The data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA for between and within group differences. Results: in the written task, the participants who studied German as their first foreign language prefer verb final placement in the subordinate, which is ungrammatical in English but grammatical in German. The L2-French group put the verb in the right place, but they do not use the existential there are, which required in English. In the oral task, the placement of negation is Russian-like in both groups. In pronunciation, the quality of English [N] is influenced by the amount of nasality the participants learnt before, i.e. French influences make the English [N] more nasalized than the [N] in the group with German as the first foreign language. Discussion and Conclusion: classroom learners of English as the L3 experience influences from all the previously learnt languages, the native language and the first foreign language. These findings pattern with the assumptions of the main generative theories of naturalistic L3 acquisition. Concluding that classroom language learning is governed by universal grammar, the teaching can benefit from predicting what cross-linguistic influences can be facilitative or not for the acquisition of the target language.
FAMILY STORIES IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF DISCOURSE
Authors: Pomnikova A. Yu.
Published: March 2019

Introduction: the last decades are characterized by a rising tide of interest of Russian citizens for the history of their families. The main form of its existence are family stories - both about the present of the family and its subjects, and about their past. These stories become natural part of our communicative space, no matter which type of activity and what social roles we are involved in. Materials and methods: the study was conducted on the material of texts - both oral and written, - containing information about addresser’s family. The main methods included the method of communicative behavior observation, the method of studying the forms and types of representation of family stories in different types of conversation, the method of analyzing and the method of generalization. Results: the purpose of this article was to analyze various types of discourse in order to identify the presence/absence of family stories in each of them, and to determine the role of such stories in various spheres of our life. Having considered interpersonal and several types of institutional discourse (scientific, popular scientific, political, medical, pedagogical and advertising), we examined how each of them presents family stories, for what purpose subjects use this kind of stories in each of the analyzed types of discourse and which aspects of family history are most relevant in each case. As a result of the study, it was determined that family stories play a significant role in our communication in each of the analyzed types of discourse, but in each of them they are used with a specific purpose. Discussion and conclusion: if we consider everything we know about our family as a family history (that consists of many separate, private family stories), then we can conclude that it flows into all spheres of our life. Our family history is penetrated by different types of discourse in which we participate, and, being included in our communication, is preserved in it.

Finite Element Modelling of RC T - Beams Reinforced Internally with GFRP Reinforcements
Authors: R. Balamuralikrishnan , J. Saravanan
Published: March 2019

Fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) are being used extensively in the rehabilitation and retrofitting of existing structures  as an external reinforcement because of their properties like high strength to weight and stiffness to weight  ratios, corrosion resistance, light weight and high durability. They are especially used in the reinforced concrete structure like bridges, chimney, high rise building etc. At present FRP reinforcements are available in the form of reinforcing bars and are used in the structures in place of steel, mainly the structures are constructed near the coastal areas or in the aggressive environments. The main advantage of FRP rebar is its corrosion resistance, light weight, durability and easy handing. The FRP rebars are being used worldwide for many structures including bridge structures as well, but not well explored because of its availability. The main objective of this thesis work is to assess the static load behaviour of RC T-beams reinforced internally with GFRP reinforcements using finite element analysis software ANSYS. Totally twelve numbers of specimens were considered in this study with varying parameters such as type of reinforcements, reinforcements ratio and concrete grade. Modelling of the T- beams were done with ANSYS using solid 65 and link 8 element and the same were analyzed under static loading conditions. The results obtained from the ANSYS were compared with the theoretical and experimental analysis. Based on the comparison suitable conclusions and recommendations are made in this research work.

Published: March 2019

Construction projects are very complex in nature. Each activity involves multiple varying tasks. Construction industry is the main source of economic growth. When change order occur performance of projects momentously affected.  Change orders often have a serious impact on the quality, time and cost. Eventually it results in disputes, delays, and dissatisfactions among stakeholders and ultimately results in failures of projects. In past several studies have been done to evaluate the causes of change order and its effects. Attempts have been made to quantify these impacts by many researchers, but the aim of this study is to identify the causes of change order in two different phases i.e. preconstruction and construction stage. Views were taken from relevant experts over included factors after in-depth literature review from past researches. A questionnaire was made and floated with different construction players from clients, consultants and contractors side. The data was analyzed by SPSS using average index technique. The analysis of data showed that, Mistakes in specifications, Mistakes in design and Lack of experience in selecting construction team by client are the most critical factors during preconstruction phase. Whereas, Design modification by owner, change in scope at later stage and Delays in payment by client are most critical factors of construction phase, responsible for change order. The extensive discussion of these factors revealed various parameters related to Pakistan construction. This study will enable the clients, consultants and contractors to be aware of factors which causes changes in orders and their consequences on project completion. By the identification of possible reasons, the right decisions can be made to mark the project successful.

Published: March 2019

The Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, influences a range of economic and ecological systems. The effects of agricultural runoffs, such as the herbicide atrazine, on marine species, has not been well documented. To analyze the effect of atrazine, the oyster shell surface was analyzed. The shell protects the internal organs from predators. The shells of adult oysters are also required in the spawning of new oysters. This study analyzed the effects of atrazine on oyster shells using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). SEM images were taken of juvenile oysters exposed to three different concentrations of atrazine (30, 10, 3 μg/L) to determine if there is a statistical significance in microstructure frequencies and GLCM texture features of three regions of the shell. Using a multivariate t-test, a significant difference was found in the texture features of the edge regions of the shells treated with 30μg/L and 0 μg/L of atrazine. The same t-test found a significant difference in microstructures near the edge regions for shells treated with 10μg/L and 0 μg/L of atrazine. These results provide computational strategies to distinguish shells treated with high concentrations of atrazine. Future work will tie evidence collected from imaging analysis into transcriptome data to illustrate the genetic impacts of atrazine exposure.
A New Look at Codon Usage and Protein Expression
Authors: Wright Gabriel , Rodriguez Anabel , Clark Patricia , Emrich Scott
Published: March 2019

%MinMax, a model of intra-gene translational elongation rate, relies on codon usage frequencies. Historically, %MinMax has used tables that measure codon usage bias for all genes in an organism, such as those found at HIVE-CUT. In this paper, we provide evidence that codon usage bias based on all genes is insufficient to accurately measure absolute translation rate. We show that alternative ”High-φ” codon usage tables, generated by another model (ROC-SEMPPR), are a promising alternative. By creating a hybrid model, future codon usage analyses and their applications (e.g., codon harmonization) are likely to more accurately measure the ”tempo” of translation elongation. We also suggest a High- φ alternative to the Codon Adaptation Index (CAI), a classic metric of codon usage bias based on highly expressed genes. Significantly, our new alternative is equally well correlated with empirical data as traditional CAI without using experimentally determined expression counts as input.
DALIGNER Performance Evaluation on Intel Xeon Phi Architecture
Authors: Costa Evaldo , Silva Gabriel , Teixeira Marcello
Published: March 2019

In bioinformatics, DNA sequence assembly refers to the reconstruction of an original DNA sequence by the alignment and merging of fragments that can be obtained from several sequencing methods. The main sequencing methods process thousands or even millions of these fragments, which can be short (hundreds of base pairs) or long (thousands of base pairs) read sequences. This is a highly computational task, which usually requires the use of parallel programs and algorithms, so that it can be performed with desirable accuracy and within suitable time limits. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of DALIGNER long read sequences aligner in a system using the Intel Xeon Phi 7210 processor. We are looking for scalable architectures that could provide a higher throughput that can be applied to future sequencing technologies.

Published: March 2019

Digital pathology (DP) is a new research area which falls under the broad umbrella of health informatics. Owing to its potential for major public health impact, in recent years DP has been attracting much research attention. Nevertheless, a wide breadth of significant conceptual and technical challenges remain, few of them greater than those encountered in digital oncology. The automatic analysis of digital pathology slides of cancerous tissues is particularly problematic due to the inherent heterogeneity of the disease, extremely large images, and numerous others. In this paper we introduce a novel machine learning based framework for the prediction of colorectal cancer outcome from whole haematoxylin & eosin (H&E) stained histopathology slides. Using a real-world data set we demonstrate the effectiveness of the method and present a detailed analysis of its different elements which corroborate its ability to extract and learn salient, discriminative, and clinically meaningful content.
Connecting Molecular Energy Landscape Analysis with Markov Model-based Analysis of Equilibrium Structural Dynamics
Authors: Kabir Kazi Lutful , Akhter Nasrin , Shehu Amarda
Published: March 2019

Molecular dynamics simulation software now provides us with a view of the structure space accessed by a molecule. Increasingly, Markov state models are proposed to integrate various simulations of a molecule and extract its equilibrium structural dynamics. The approach relies on organizing the structures accessed in simulation into states as an at- tempt to identify thermodynamically-stable and semi-stable (macro)states among which transitions can then be quantified. Typically, off-the-shelf clustering algorithms are used for this purpose. In this paper, we investigate two additional complementary approaches to state identification that rely on graph embeddings of the structures. In particular, we show that doing so allows revealing basins in the energy landscape associated with the accessed structure space. Moreover, we demonstrate that basins, directly tied to stable and semi-stable states, yield to a better model of dynamics on a proof-of-concept application.

EFFECT OF AZOTOBACTER AND AZOSPIRILLUM ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF RICE GROWN ON TIDAL SWAMP RICE FIELD IN SOUTH KALIMANTAN
Authors: Razie Fakhrur , Anas Iswandi
Published: March 2019

Tidal swamp land is a potential area for rice cultivation. However, tidal swamp is fragile ecosystems, so that when this area is used for rice cultivation, it has to be done carefully. To reduce a risk of environmental pollution in the tidal swamp area due to rice cultivation, the area should be managed properly and wisely especially when using agrochemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides. In relation to this, the use of bio-fertilizer such as Azotobacter or/and Azospirillum, an atmospheric nitrogen fixing bacterium, might be an important thing for this area. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the number of NFB (i.e. Azotobacter and Azospirillum spp.) found in tidalswamp rice fields of South Kalimantan, and their ability in fixing atmospheric nitrogen and supplying this fixed nitrogen to rice, and in increasing rice yields. There were three research stages performed in this study. The first, collecting, isolating and purifying the NFB on the selective media of nitrogen free media. The second, a hydroponic experiment in the greenhouse using Yoshida nutrition solution (Yoshida et al., 1976 in IRRI, 2003) as culture media and selected Azotobacter and Azospirillum. The third experiment was to study the effect of selected Azotobacter isolates to increase growth and yield of IR64 and Margasari rice cultivars, and two Azotobacter isolates were combined with six inoculation methods for Siam Unus rice cultivar as treatments. The result showed that the number of NFB strains found in rhizospere rice cultivars were varied widely. Then, Azotobacter and Azospirillum spp selected from rice fields in the tidal land of South Kalimantan when associated with IR64 and Siam Unus rice cultivars have ability in fixing atmospheric N2 and in supplying N on the initial rice growth. Azotobacter T.B.PDST.2b and T.HM.BPMT.2b were significantly supplying N for early growth of IR64 rice cultivars (2.34 and 2.13 %N). The ability of these isolates to fix atmospheric N2 was similar to N fertilizer (urea) in supplying N (2.2% N). Only Azotobacter T.B.PDST.2b was relatively significant to supply N (1.36% N) for Siam Unus rice cultivar early growth, even though this strain has less ability than N fertilizer (1.94% N) in supplying N. Azotobacter isolates grow in media containing no urea were higher IAA produced than in media containing Urea. Furthermore, yield of IR64, Margasari and Siam Unus inoculated with Azotobacter isolates were 3.87–4.93; 4.63-5.36 and 5.44-6.42 ton/ha respectively. In conclusion, the utilization of Azotobacter and Azorpirillum spp to substitute N fertilizer would be able to increase effeciency of N nutritions and to avoid environment pollutions risks from agrochemical N fertilizer other than to increase rice yields on tidal land of South Kalimantan.Keywords: Azotobacter, Azospirillum, rice cultivars, tidal lands and rice yields.

The biotechnological approaches for treatment of wastewater are widely studied within the last two decades. We show that this approach can be used for treatment of Cr-contaminated wastewater. The sulfate reducing bacteria Desulfotomaculum orientis ICBB 1204 is used in a laboratory experiment to treat Cr-contained wastewater from metal plating industry and the oil and gas company, PT VICO, East Kalimantan. After adaption of the bacteria for around 10 days in the wastewater containing 100 ppm Cr, the process of Cr reduction took place and the Cr in the medium were reduced 92.7% within 20 days. The similar results were achieved on the treatment of PT VICO’s wastewater. The Cr content in the wastewater decreased from 6.54-6.76 to 0.08-0.09 ppm and the pH increased from 3 to 5 – 6 within 20 days incubation period.Keywords: Cr detoxification, Desulfotomaculum orientis ICBB 1204, sulphate reducing bacteria, wastewater

Published: March 2019

A study about the effect of humic substance and green manure on soil physical characteristics and cassava production was conducted on a Sandy loam soil in Sukadana-East Lampung. Humic substance was obtained from Proper Humic, whereas green manure was obtained from crop residue and weed surrounding the experimental site. Humic substance applied was 15 liters ha-1 and green manure applied was 2 tons ha-1. The result of the experiment indicated that in general, humic substance and green manure applied had no significant effect on soil physical characteristics. However, there was a tendency that water content at field capacity (pF 2.54) and water available capacity increased as humic substance and green manure were applied. Similar tendency was also observed for water retained in soil where field soil water content at 7 consecutive no-raindays was slightly higher at soil with humic substance and green manure. With the application of humic substance and green manure, soil could hold water in a longer time. The effect of green manure on field soil water content was, however, slightly better than that of humic substance. Nevertheless, application of humic substance 15 l ha-1 increased significantly cassava growth and production and the effect was better than those from green manure with the dosage of 2 ton ha-1. Key words: cassava production, humic substance, water retention

Published: March 2019

Information on the spatial distribution of soil organic carbon content is required for sustainable land management. But, creating this map is time consuming and costly. Digital soil mapping methodology make use legacy soil data to create provisional soil organic carbon map. This map helps soil surveyors in allocating next soil observation. This study aimed: (i) to develop predictive statistical soil organic carbon models for Sulawesi, and (ii) to evaluate the best model between the three obtained models. Boalemo Regeny in Gorontalo Province (Sulawesi) was selected as studying area due to abundant legacy soil data. The study covered dataset preparation, model development, and model comparison. Dataset of soil organic carbon at 6 different depths as target was established from 176 soil proﬁles and 7 terrain parameters were selected as predictors. Soil-landscape models for each soil depth were created using regression tree, conditional inference tree, and multiple linear regression technique.  Result showed that model performance differed among 3 modelling techniques and soil depths. The tree models were better than the multiple linear regression model as they have the lowest RMSE index. The best model in the mountanious area seems to be the regression tree model, whereas in the plains it may be the conditional inference tree. In creating provisional map, several model should be developed and the median of predicted value is used as provisional map.

O artigo tem, como inquietação central, o questionamento em torno de quais categorias teórico-filosóficas, pertinentes à teoria do direito, estão “em jogo” na opção feita pelo legislador no dispositivo em questão, haja vista que a limitação pretendida pela lei, que recai sobre a atividade interpretativa dos tribunais trabalhistas, reflete certa concepção do que seja o direito. Nesta toada, o artigo reflete sobre o novo dispositivo sob o enfoque, em parte, do debate Hart-Dworkin, buscando identificar os contornos positivistas do parágrafo legal, sujeitando-o às críticas formulados no embate filosófico em questão. Em seguida, a discussão é associada a uma perspectiva hermenêutica, no feitio filosófico desta, articulando linguagem e Direito, concluindo pela incompatibilidade da perspectiva positivista, antes identificada no dispositivo celetista e criticada, com a busca por um conceito hermenêutico do direito, o qual parece contemplar mais adequadamente uma atividade interpretativa voltada à concretização de direitos fundamentais. Em arremate, o artigo ofertará uma proposta interpretativa para o novo §2º do art. 8º da CLT, sobretudo contextualizando-o no sistema jurídico brasileiro e a par de alguns avanços que este já logrou no campo da teoria do direito e da hermenêutica.

The recurrent premature failures of public infrastructure which render most constructed facilities structurally deficient and functionally obsolete require urgent attention. This paper presents the results of the investigated properties and durability of both local and imported steel reinforcing bars in Nigeria. Flexural strengths of concrete structures reinforced with steel rebar specimens and subjected to third-point loading of 150 mm × 150 mm × 750 mm beam specimens of grade 20 N/mm2 concrete in accordance with BS 1881. The flexural stiffness of imported bars for 12 mm and 16 mm were 22.3 kN/mm2 and 49.9 kN/mm2 respectively, while the local and TMT imported bars were 11.5% and 7.5% lower. In conclusion, though the imported bars marginally satisfied the ASTM and BS standards in strength except durability, while local bars did not meet the two requirements. Hence, the development of National Building Codes that reflect the actual material characteristics is imperative to avert premature failure.

Authors: Sabek Seifennasr
Published: March 2019

Contrary to the conventional air conditioning systems, the liquid desiccant cooling (LDC) systems are considered efficient systems to control the indoor air conditions. In addition, the LDC technologies are more adequate for the hot and humid climates. In this paper, we present an analytical investigation at assessing the feasibility of a LDC technology under Mediterranean climate. The mathematical equations including the sensible and latent heat transfer equations in both air stream and desiccant solution are presented. The impacts of climatic and operating parameters on the supplied air qualities, moisture removal rate (MRR) and sensible heat ratio (SHR) are evaluated. As a consequence, this study provides a solution to investigate the feasibility of this type of air conditioning technologies under hot and humid climate.

Latar Belakang: Kecemasan pada pasien sindrom koroner akut (SKA) yang menjalani rawat jalan masih sedikit diteliti, padahal kecemasan pada pasien rawat jalan merupakan hal yang penting untuk dikaji karena pasien berada di rumah dan jauh dari fasilitas kesehatan. Beberapa konsep menyatakan bahwa kecemasan pada pasien SKA dapat memperburuk keadaan jantung, namun demikian bagaimana kaitan antara cemas dengan frekuensi angina masih belum banyak diteliti.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi hubungan kecemasan dengan frekuensi angina pada pasien SKA.Metode: Desain penelitian ini adalah correlational study. Penelitian dilakukan di Poliklinik Jantung di satu Rumah Sakit di Jawa Barat. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 100 responden dengan SKA yang di ambil menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunaan kuesioner ZSAS dan SAQ selama satu bulan, kemudian data dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan korelasi Rank Spearman.Hasil: Mayoritas responden memiliki tingkat kecemasan normal dan frekuensi angina minimal. Sedangkan responden yang mengalami cemas berat sebesar 3% dan mengalami frekuensi angina berat sebesar 8%.Hasil perhitungan p-value sebesar  0,00 yang lebih kecil dari α (0,05) dan r -0,508 maka terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara kecemasan dengan frekuensi angina.Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan antara kecemasan dengan frekuensi angina pada pasien dengan SKA. Semakin tinggi tingkat kecemasan seseorang maka frekuensi angina semakin berat.

Determination of renal blood flow with Doppler ultrasound and the hypertension prevalence and acid-base level in dogs with chronic renal failure
Authors: KOENHEMSİ Lora , GÖNÜL Remzi
Published: March 2019

Chronic renal failure  (CRF) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in dogs. The aim of this study is to investigate the renal Doppler measurements, blood hypertension and acid-base levels in dogs with chronic renal failure. Twenty-six dogs previously diagnosed with chronic renal failure were compared with twenty healthy dogs. A complete blood cell, biochemical profile, urinalysis, blood gasses, blood pressure were analyzed and changes in renal blood flow were measured by renal Doppler ultrasonography. The dogs with CRF had significantly higher serum blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and phosphorus concentration, significantly lower packed cell volume, and urine specific gravity than control dogs. Positive correlation was determined between serum creatinine levels and renal Doppler indices. There were significant decreases in blood pH and bicarbonate. Indirect blood pressure measurements were slightly increased in CRF dogs. Renal Doppler measurement was observed as a helpful tool in diagnosing the CRF in dogs. Identification of acidosis and hypertension may help in developing treatments that slow the rate of progression of chronic renal failure.
