Authors: Balasubramani Ushadevi , Subramaniam Sangeetha , Mitu Liviu , Sundararajan Vairam
Published: September 2018

Activated carbon/Al2O3 nano-composite (ANC) was synthesized by simple pyrolysis after incorporating the aluminium acetate precursor in activated carbon (AC) matrix. The as-synthesized composite was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, BET isotherm, SEM, EDX, and TEM. The size of Al2O3 nanoparticles in carbon matrix was found to be in the range of 10-35 nm. Adsorption characteristics of nano-composite was evaluated using methylene blue dye (MB) by batch and column studies. In batch process, the effect of concentration, temperature and pH were investigated. Batch adsorption study was interpreted with Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherms. Results showed that adsorption follows Freudlich isotherm model with an adsorption capacity of 116 mg/g at pH 7 at 30 Â°C and it increases with increase in pH. Kinetic data indicated that the adsorption of dye follows pseudo-second order kinetics model. The negative value of Î”G indicates the spontaneous nature of the adsorption process. For column study the nano-composite was fabricated into Calcium alginate beads (CAB). The performance of CAB was studied with different influent concentrations of MB, pH and bed depth and the results have been interpreted using Thomas and BDST models. The column shows an adsorption capacity of 285.57 mg/g of CAB at pH 7 with bed height of 10 cm and best fitted to BDST model. These outcomes indicate the capability of carbon/Al2O3 nano-composite for dye removal.

Authors: Ramadan Abdul Aziz , Mandil Hasna , Saleh Reham Abu
Published: September 2018

Differential pulse polarographic analysis (DPPA) by using static mercury drop electrode (SMDE) for quantification of flucloxacillin (FLUX) in pure and pharmaceutical dosage forms was studied. The optimum conditions for the polarographic signal were determined and a study was made of the different parameters affecting the electrochemical process. The best definition of the analytical signals was found in Britton–Robinson buffer (0.06 M) at pH 4.0 . Under the optimum conditions, liner calibration graph, Ip=f(CFLUX) was obtained in the concentration ranges of 0.1 mM (0.0494 ?g.mL-1) to 26 mM (12.8414 ?g.mL-1) at -940 to -1000 mV (versus Ag/AgCl) with relative standard deviations (RSD) did not exceed 2.4% for the concentrations of FLUX (0.0494 ?g.mL-1). Regression analysis showed a good correlation coefficient (R2=9998) between Ip and concentration over the mentioned range. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) were to be 0.0040 and 0.0120 ?g.mL-1, respectively. The proposed method was validated for linearity, precision and accuracy, repeatability, sensitivity (LOD and LOQ), robustness and specificity. The developed method is applicable for the determination of FLUX in pure and different dosage forms in presence a same amount of amoxicillin (AMOX) with average recovery of 99.4 to 102.2 % and the results are in good agreement with those obtained by the HPLC reference method.
Dynamic Performance of Estimator-based Speed Sensorless Control of Induction Machines Using Extended and Unscented Kalman Filters
Authors: Horváth Krisztián , Kuslits Márton
Published: September 2018

This paper presents an estimator-based speed sensorless field-oriented control (FOC) method for induction machines, where the state estimator is based on a self-contained, non-linear model. This model characterises both the electrical and the mechanical behaviours of the machine and describes them with seven state variables. The state variables are estimated from the measured stator currents and from the known stator voltages by using an estimator algorithm. An important aspect is that one of the state variables is the load torque and, hence, it is also estimated by the estimator. Using this feature, the applied estimator-based speed sensorless control algorithm may be operated adequately besides varying load torque. In this work, two different variants of the control algorithm are developed based on the extended and the unscented Kalman filters (EKF, UKF) as state estimators. The dynamic performance of these variants is tested and compared using experiments and simulations. Results show that the variants have comparable performance in general, but the UKF-based control provides better performance if a stochastically varying load disturbance is present.

Authors: Sukwika Tatan
Published: September 2018

Bogor regency has an area of 16,945 hectares’ community-forests or 22% of the forest area in the regency. Institutional problems of community-forest management include weak interaction of actors within the organization. Since the organization is part of the institution, its existence becomes an important technical part in securing the operation of the institution. Objectives of this research on analyzing actors and the institution in the community-forest area are: (1) to determine the dominant key actors in community-forests action arena; and (2) to formulate community-forests development institutional models. Qualitative descriptive analysis of actors and institutions employs content analysis. Key actors analysis utilized ISM (Interpretive Structural Modeling) analysis methods. Results of the analysis identified seven key actors in community forest management, namely UPTD BP3K, landowners who lives outside the village, farmer landowners, land tenants, farm labors, lumbermens, and middlemen. Of the seven key actors, four key actors are the most dominant in the community-forest action arena, which are farmer landowners, farm labors, lumbermens and middlemen. There are three models of community-forest management institutions for capacity development actors, namely the institutional model related to venture capital, handling waste of resources, and coordination. This study recommends the necessity to strengthen dominant actors at site level according to the criteria of efficiency, equity, and sustainability. The policy makers need to optimize the capacity and coordination function of government agencies through the institutional coordination model.

Sillabo di riferimento per l’insegnamento dell’italiano della musica
Authors: Balboni Paolo
Published: September 2018

Nel 2015 il Ministero degli Esteri dedicò l’anno alla riflessione mondiale sul rapporto tra lingua italiana e musica. La prima cosa che emerse, passando dai ‘proclami’ sull’importanza dell’italiano della musica alla progettazione di linguistica educazionale, fu l’assenza di una visione sistemica e scientifica del concetto di ‘italiano della musica’ e del suo insegnamento. La Società Dante Alighieri e i Laboratori Itals e LabCom di Ca’ Foscari hanno avviato un approfondimento su questo tema: il risultato della ricerca, affidata a Paolo E. Balboni, è questo sillabo di italiano per strumentisti, cantanti d’opera, direttori, compositori e musicologi, con ampie differenziazioni tra questi diversi gruppi. Il sillabo è gratuitamente a disposizione di autori di manuali, di insegnanti, di enti certificatori e formatori.
ON VERBAL TABOOS IN THE OSSETIAN LANGUAGE (BY THE EXAMPLES OF THE ANIMAL WORLD NAMES)
Authors: Butaeva Madina Batradzovna
Published: September 2018

The current research is devoted to the phenomenon of verbal taboos in the Ossetian language, which has left a bright mark in the names of the animal world representatives. The purpose of the article is to show that the cult of animals developed in the past in all its manifestations in the everyday and economic life of Ossetia, was reflected in the beliefs and traditions and contributed to the emergence of the multitude of linguistic taboos. The significance of the chosen topic is conditioned by the fact that in the Ossetian language the situations that form a kind of euphemistic expression in accordance with its standards have not been fully identified yet. The work contains information from various sources, which confirms the specificity of the world perception by the Ossetians, as well as the expressions that are euphemistic in nature; conditions for their use are substantiated. Particular attention is paid to examples from the special secret language of Ossetian hunters.
SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF FLORONYMS IN THE STRUCTURE OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN THE CHINESE AND JAPANESE LANGUAGES (COMPARATIVE ASPECT)
Authors: Kozhevnikov Igor' Rudol'fovich , Shevchuk Oksana Pavlovna , Merezhko Elena Valer'evna
Published: September 2018

The article is devoted to the comparative study of the features of floronyms’ symbolic meanings in the structure of the phraseological units of the Chinese and Japanese languages. On the basis of the semantic and linguo-cultural analysis of floronyms in phraseological units, it is ascertained that, despite the large number of Chinese loan words in the Japanese language, some symbolic meanings of floronyms, common to the compared languages, have undergone significant changes in the structure of phraseological units. These changes occurred mainly in three directions: in the phraseology of the Japanese language the symbolism of plants was narrowed, modified or rejected for some reason. Separate semantic “lacunae” can also be observed in the phraseology of the Chinese language.
COMPARATIVE INNOVATION MODEL TO ANALYZE PHONOLOGICAL INTERFERENCE IN THE SPHERE OF CONSONANTISM (BY THE MATERIAL OF MONGOLS’ RUSSIAN SPEECH)
Authors: Rogoznaya Nina Nikolaevna , Erbaeva Larisa Lazarevna
Published: September 2018

The article describes a phonological project for the practical application of the comparative bilingual model “The Mongolian Language - The Russian Language”. The paper analyzes the interference of the paradigmatic level manifesting itself in the insufficient differentiation of allophones in the Russian speech of Mongols (RSM). The authors introduce a model to analyze RSM interferential peculiarities, which includes phonological networks, the phonological cluster of phonemes, the interaction of allophones, and the convergent-divergent allophonic transformation of phonemes. The described model can be used when developing the introductory phonetic course of Russian as a foreign language at the initial stage of training and the correctional course at the intermediate and advanced stages of training. Moreover, using this model the learner can autonomously improve his/her pronunciation skills.
INVECTIVE STATEMENTS AS INTERIORIZATION OF ACTIONS
Authors: Sedova Tat'yana Viktorovna
Published: September 2018

On the basis of the aggressive statements made in the publications of Spanish newspapers against tourists, the article justifies that these statements are of invective character. Understanding the invective in the broadest sense as any verbal aggression, the author concludes that in the course of invective activity, the complex process of the interiorization of actions, which can in certain spatial and temporal coordinates unfold into the acts of direct aggression provoked by the growing “tourism-phobia” in Spain, occurs. In considering some of invective statements from the point of view of the speech acts theory, their strong directive illocutionary component is noted. Also, the author concludes that the examples of invective statements about tourists can become a signal system for further prevention of possible offenses.

Hyphessobrycon auca Almirón, Casciotta, Bechara & Ruiz Díaz, 2004, inhabit small lakes located at the northwest of Iberá wetland in Argentina. This research describes sorne aspects of its feeding. Samples were collected from its type locality from 2007 to 2009. Analysis of 70 digestive tracts of individuals ranging from 24 to 56 mm standard length (SL) showed that higher plants, algae, and quironomids larvae dominated the diet in terms of relative volume and occurrence frequency. Therefore, this species was characterized as omnivorous, but there was a growing trend towards herbivory when size class incremed. Smaller size class (< 35 mm SL) fed on higher proportion of animal preys such as quironomids larvae and protozoans, in contrast to larger ones who consumed almost exclusively plants and algae.

Authors: Chatellenaz Mario L. , Fernández Juan M. , Thomann María
Published: September 2018

El Distrito de los Campos de la Provincia Fitogeográfica Paranaense (Cabrera, 1976), comprende el sur de Misiones y nordeste de Corrientes. Este Distrito, con 401 especies de aves, es una de las áreas con mayor riqueza ornitológica de Argentina (Giraudo y Povedano, 2004). Se hacen presentes en Corrientes numerosas especies que tienen aquí su límite austral de distribución, y no se encuentran en otras áreas de la provincia (Darrieu  Camperi, 1996). Dado que este Distrito es uno de los más modificados por acción antrópica en las últimas décadas, resulta imperativo que se tomen medidas tendientes a conservar su biodiversidad. En este sentido, el conocimiento de la distribución geográfica de las especies es de vital importancia, no sólo por el conocimiento en sí, sino porque brinda información útil para la conservación de las mismas. Por esto, se dan a conocer aquí nuevos registros de tres especies de aves en predios pertenecientes a la Empresa Las Marías S.A., en el departamento Santo Tomé, nordeste de la provincia de Corrientes.

Authors: González Leguizamón R. , Chabbal M. , Domínguez J. F. , Mazza S. , Alayón Luaces P.
Published: September 2018

El ananá es una planta altamente sensible a las bajas temperaturas por lo que una posibilidad productiva en regiones subtropicales es su cultivo en invernáculos, sin embargo las condiciones que se suceden por la presencia misma del plástico pueden alterar el ciclo vegetativo y consecuentemente la productividad del cultivo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar el ciclo vegetativo de plantas de ananá que se cultivaron a campo y bajo cobertura plástica en Corrientes. Se midieron en ambos sistemas de cultivo y con dos niveles de fertilización, variables asociadas al crecimiento de las plantas: altura de planta, diámetro, número de hojas y se realizaron muestreos destructivos para determinar biomasa aérea, partición de asimilados, área foliar e índice de área foliar. Las magnitudes de las variables medidas fueron mayores bajo cobertura que aquellas evaluadas a campo debido a que las condiciones climáticas que se presentaron en el invernáculo favorecieron el ciclo vegetativo del ananá respecto a las que ocurrieron a campo. No se encontraron diferencias, al final del ciclo vegetativo, asociadas al nivel de fertilización en ninguno de los sistemas de cultivo.

This paper presents design and implementation of SMS Gateway utilization in water level monitoring system. The system used to determine the water level at the reservoir. Background of this research is many used manually water level monitoring system. Manual water level monitoring is considered to be less effective, because it uses water level measurements with a line and checks are required regularly. The proposed system of this research uses ultrasonic sensors to detect water heights and SMS Gateway module as a communication with its users. The results showed ultrasonic sensors can read the distance well done and accordance with the measurements have been done. Water level level monitoring system works well with water reservoir 15 cm then indicator system show full water.
Autistic traits and emotional face processing
Authors: Greene Ciara , Suess Esther , Kelly Yazeed
Published: September 2018

Atypical emotional face processing strategies have been observed in people with autism, and it has been suggested that these may extend in milder form to the general population. The relationship between autistic traits (AT) and gaze behaviour was investigated in a neurotypical adult sample who viewed three videos featuring a happy, fearful and neutral face. Eye-tracking data showed that participants looked longer at the faces (relative to the background) in the emotional conditions than in the neutral condition. As predicted, participants spent more time looking at the eyes during the fearful relative to the happy condition, and more time looking at the mouth during the happy condition. AT did not influence viewing patterns, time to first fixation or number of early fixations in any of the videos. We conclude that AT in the general population does not affect visual processing of emotional faces. More complex social scenes may be needed to reveal a relationship between AT and emotional processing.
STUDENT MIDWIVES’ INTENTION TO DELIVER WEIGHT MANAGEMENT INTERVENTIONS: A THEORY OF PLANNED BEHAVIOUR & SELF-DETERMINATION THEORY APPROACH
Authors: Kothe Emily Jane , Lamb Michelle , Bruce Lauren , McPhie Skye , Klas Anna , Hill Briony , Skouteris Helen
Published: September 2018

Objectives: Overweight and obesity during pregnancy is a risk to the health of mother and child. Midwives can modify this key risk factor by providing weight management interventions to women before and during pregnancy. This study investigated social cognitive determinants of pre-clinical student midwives’ intention to provide weight management intervention in preconception and antenatal clinical contexts. Social cognitive determinants from the Theory of Planned Behaviour (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control) and Self-Determination Theory (autonomous motivation) were used to predict pre-clinical students’ intentions once they enter practice.Method: The sample was 183 female pre-clinical student midwives from 17 Australian universities (age range = 18-54 years). Participants received a cross-sectional questionnaire that measured demographic items, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control and autonomous motivation towards providing weight management intervention at two different stages of pregnancy – preconception and antenatal. Results: Attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control accounted for 56% of intention to provide weight management interventions to women planning pregnancy; however, the addition of autonomous motivation was non-significant. In contrast, attitudes and subjective norms (but not perceived behavioural control) accounted for 39% of intention to provide weight management interventions to women during pregnancy. Furthermore, the addition of autonomous motivation to the model was significant and accounted for an additional 3.1% of variance being explained. Implications and Conclusions: Curriculum changes that support and increase pre-clinical student midwives’ intention should focus on these specific correlates of intention in order to foster long term changes in clinical practice. Changes to the education and training of midwives should be carefully considered to understand their impact on these important determinants of intention to engage in this critical clinical skill.

There is evidence to suggest that simplified and lay facilitated psychological interventions could contribute to reducing human resource for mental health shortages and disparities among forcibly displaced migrants. The review aimed to identify the evidence for the effectiveness of scalable psychological interventions for this sub-populations and the barriers and facilitators to their implementation. A systematic review was conducted, using peer-reviewed evidence published up until September 2017. Quantitative and mixed methods intervention studies were screened from Medline, Embase, Scopus, PsychINFO and CINAHL. Only English-language studies in which non-specialists administered the intervention were included. Narrative synthesis was used to analyse the study findings on effectiveness and the barriers and facilitators to implementation were identified through thematic analysis. Out of 2,766 relevant citations and abstracts screened, 13 met the inclusion criteria. We found high quality evidence with mixed results on the effectiveness of Narrative Exposure Therapy in reducing PTSD symptoms in children and adults. Medium-high quality evidence was found for the effectiveness of parenting skills interventions in reducing children’s behavioural problems and for interventions with components of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in reducing psychological distress. High-quality evidence was also found for a simplified version of IPT-G administered by lay facilitators indicating significant reductions in depression symptoms among adolescent among girls, but not boys, aged 14-17 years. We also found medium-high quality evidence showing no effect of psycho-education in reducing psychological distress. Cultural adaptation was identified as a facilitator to implementation and the training of non-specialists was described as both a barrier and facilitator. There is scarce but good quality evidence for the effectiveness of scalable psychological interventions for forcibly displaced persons. Further research on the effectiveness of these interventions on adults is urgently needed. Future studies should detail the process of adapting the training material, the supervision, and training received by non-specialists to assess fidelity, allow future replications, and facilitate scale-up.

Published: September 2018

The objective of this work was to investigate whether the influence of the incompatible practice on the Simon effect depends on where it was carried out or whether it is generalized to other sites. In this way, the participants were divided into two groups according to where the incompatible test was performed. Both groups were tested in a Simon task (control condition) in a room (A) that was followed by a spatial compatibility task (incompatible condition) performed in the same room (A) or in another room (B). Finally, the participants again performed Simon's task in room A.
Constantin Carathéodory’s correspondence with Henry Morgenthau, Sr. on the integration of Greek refugees after the Greco-Turkish war of 1919-1922
Authors: GEORGIADOU MARIA
Published: September 2018

The defeat of the Greek Army in 1922 by nationalist Turkish forces in theGreco-Turkish War in 1919-1922 caused an initial forced migration ofGreeksfleeing from Asia Minor and Eastern Thrace. The Treaty of Lausanne in1923 specified the first compulsory exchange of populations ratified by aninternational organisation. It was a special Convention between Venizelosand Mustafa ismet Pasha (inönü), signed on 30 January 1923, concerningthe Exchange of Greek and Turkish Populations. This "compulsory exchangeof Turkish nationals of the Greek Orthodox religion established in Turkishterritory, and of Greek nationals of the Moslem religion established in Greekterritory" was to take place as from the 1st May 1923 (Article l). The Greekinhabitants of Constantinople and the Moslem inhabitants of Western Thracewere exempted (Article 2) (Die Lausanner-Vereinbarung). However thisConvention only put the formal seal of approval on what had already been'accomplished' by the demographics ofwar. A total ofabout I .2 million Greeksleft Asia Minor between 1920 and 1923, and 355,000 Muslims migrated toTurkey in the exchange. Greece had less than five million inhabitants at thetime. Macedonia and Thrace absorbed the vast majority of the refugees: morethan 650,000 people of which 150,000 were settled in towns. Thessalonikiwas from the very start the main pole of attraction for the urban refugees.(Hastaoglou 1997:498).

Ces flux ont remis en question les politiques europeennes de gestion des refugies et des deplaces mais egalement I' organisation sociale de ces pays et Ie concept d' integration. Du point de vue des pays d'accueil, comme de celui des refugies, la question de la place que peuvent occuper ces nouveaux arrivants au sein de la societe se pose necessairement.
