David Hume versus Adam Smith: Sobre la fuente de la normatividad en el sentimentalismo moral
Authors: Carrasco María A.
Published: June 2020

A pesar de las muchas semejanzas entre las teorías morales de David Hume y Adam Smith, en los últimos años muchos han comenzado a interpretar la Teoría de los sentimientos morales de Smith como una respuesta crítica a la ética de Hume. En este artículo propongo que la diferencia más importante entre estos sentimentalistas se relaciona con el origen y la naturaleza de la autoridad normativa de la moral, que a fin de cuentas determina qué se entenderá por una legítima razón moral, o qué es propiamente la moral.
Time for Punishment with Subjectivity: Study Philosophy of Law
Authors: Sulistyawan Aditya Yuli
Published: July 2020

The dominance of legal positivism in thought and law enforcement is a reality. Saintism of legal science presents a law that is conceptualized as something that exists in sensory terms, along with its straightforward, rational, and objective nature. Law is always requested objectively. Objectivity is done by freeing the subject's mind to the legal reality that already exists as an object. Therefore, various legal cases such as the case of Asyani, Rasminah, Minah and others, are things that are easily proven as violating the law because it is a violation of the text of the article of law. Such a way of law, is now starting to become a public concern. So, when objectivity begins to be questioned, that's when the real subjectivity of asking begins to be considered - and this will be explained [only] in the study of legal philosophy, especially paradigmatic studies. This paper will discuss the possibility of subjectivity in law, which will be presented in the paradigmatic study.

Authors: Goel Vinit , Choudhury Achintya , Kumar Naveen , Lal Sachin
Published: June 2020

Gear mesh stiffness is an important indicator for condition monitoring of gears as its value has been found to decrease with initiation of crack. In the current study, the effect of crack propagation path on mesh stiffness has been investigated. Elliptical cracks with different values of semi major and semi minor axes have been considered with same values of crack lengths along these paths. ANSYS 19 software along with FRANC 3D has been used to model the gears with cracks induced. Structural analysis has been performed through Mechanical APDL. The values of mesh stiffness have been found to vary significantly with change in path of crack progression.

Authors: Muniandy Vijayapragas , Ong Kevin
Published: June 2020

Desired optimum handling performance of the vehicle hardly be achieved at high vehicle speed due to unpredictable road condition such as uneven surface and slippery road during raining with the existing control algorithm. This paper is focusing on the integration of two robust controller which are Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) and Feedforward controller into the vehicle simulation model to improve the handling performance of the vehicle. Disturbance rejection problem arises from the SMC controller was highlighted and the solution proposed to overcome it. Through the simulation in Simulink, SMC-Feedforward shows average improvement of approximately 30.42 % and 39.41 % for J-Turn and Double Lane Change (DLC) test respectively. The proposed controller has successfully solved the disturbance rejection problem by minimizing the disturbance effect on the vehicle model, which improve the handling performance of the vehicle in terms of yaw rate and sideslip angle.
A test for multidimensional reducible diffusion models
Authors: Jun Wang , Ping Chen
Published: June 2020

We develop a test for multidimensional diffusion models with known drift term based on transformation of diffusion matrix. The test in this article is different from the traditional method. We use a one-to-one transformation to transform the original model into a unit diffusion. Our approach is not only effective for stationary processes. On the other hand, our test performs well both on size and power.

The automation of portal crane rope run-down calculations
Authors: Raevsky Vladimir , Nasonov Dmitry
Published: June 2020

The aim of this paper is to develop a software which allows to determine the run-down of the rope in boom systems of portal cranes instead of the existing graph analytic methods in order to profile the crane trunk to ensure the movement of the cargo only along the horizontal path when the boom system departure changes. The universal analytical dependencies to determine the rope run-down were obtained, lines of equal run-down of the rope for hinged boom systems were stated. Due to the results of the calculations which were carried out with the help of the developed software, it became possible to obtain nomograms that allow designers to determine the necessary parameters of the boom system taking into account the rope run-down.
Dynamic analysis of atomic force microscope in tapping mode
Authors: Bahrami Mohammad Reza
Published: June 2020

The Atomic force microscope (AFM) is an enormously valuable tool in a wide variety of applications because of its function to depict in different mediums with the sub-nano-meter resolution, and also manipulating objects with nano-meter-scale features and measuring forces with better than pico-newton resolution. In this paper, the lumped parameter model is used to construct the mathematical model of the AFM cantilever. The cantilever tip, excited by the harmonic external force, is under the influence of the tip-sample interaction force. Since, we consider the AFM in the operation mode named dynamic contact mode, the Deryagin-Muller-Toporov (DMT) force is considered as the interaction force between the cantilever tip and the surface of the sample. DMT force causes non-linearity. To solve the equation of motion, the Van der Pol method is used to obtain the frequency response equation to investigate the non-linearity effect as well as the amplitude of the excitation on the response. The stability of steady state motion is investigated.

In order to analyze the degree of disturbance to the lining by the full-width excavation and reinforcement of the tunnel bottom, and determine the length of the excavation unit, and the excavation interval and improve the monitoring measurement plan. Through field observation and numerical simulation comparative analysis and verification, it is determined that the deformation of the lining equals mainly the deformation of the side wall, the influence range of the settlement of the side wall is greater than that of the convergence, the maximum value of the maximum principal stress of the lining is mainly distributed from the side wall of the excavation area to the arch line, the side wall of the excavation area produces shear yield when the length of the excavation unit reaches 5m, and the influence area will cross influence when the excavation interval is less than twice the influence area. Based on the distribution law of lining deformation, principal stress and elastoplastic area, it is recommended that the length of the excavation unit should be less than 5m, the excavation interval should be greater than twice the influence range of the side wall settlement; and the monitoring section should be arranged at the central section of the excavation area, the interval of the monitoring section should be determined according to the location of the excavation unit, the monitoring scope may not extend to the unreinforced section, and the settlement of the side walls should be increased.

Authors: Demir Mert Taşkin
Published: June 2020

Sovyetler Birliğinin dağılmasının ardından bağımsızlığını ilan eden ülkelerde, eski sistemin propagandalarına dair kamusal alanlara konumlandırılmış heykellerin tasfiyesine ya da imhasına dair uygulamalar başlamıştır. Bu anıtlardan bir tanesi Danimarkalı iş adamı ve kolleksiyoner Aage Damgaard tarafından Letonya’dan satın alınarak Danimarka’ya getirilmiştir.
Bu çalışma, Otto Kalejs’e ait olan Lenin’e adanmış anıt heykelin, bir nesne olarak el değiştirmesi ve dönüşümü üzerine odaklanmıştır. Eser, Damgaard ailesinin isteğiyle başka bir sanatçı Sven Dalsgaard tarafından farklı bir uygulamaya eklemlendirilmiştir. Ortaya çıkan yeni eserin biçimsel ve politik mesajındaki dönüşüm makalenin inceleme konusudur.

The global ecological crisis is an indispensable issue that needs to be solved. The importance of developing critical thinking and communication skills in teaching-learning methods will help to enhance educational performance; as well, the students would become informed participants in environmental decision-making. Lebanon is suffering from multiple ecological problems due to the environmental mismanagement, particularly energy problems. For this reason, training the Lebanese students mainly in architecture schools should to think critically about environmental issues, and using collaborative problem-solving as one of teaching-learning methods and techniques, which will be directly reflected in finding solutions to the problem under investigation. The researcher aims to experiment and apply this method in a history of architecture class at the faculty of architecture, to improve the environmental quality of health and wellbeing in historical built environment. This will increase the awareness for conservation aspects of architectural heritage in students, on the one hand. In addition to spread the spirit of teamwork, to facilitate the concept of integrated design process between the different disciplines when practicing professional life, on the other hand. Therefore, the study aims to produce a new methodology for integrating teaching-learning method in architecture, presenting various international attempts of thermal retrofit in historical built environment, guiding the architectural students to follow the same approach of such projects, which will save energy in a country that has a major problem in electricity. The case study is based on a real problem in a realistic situation in Tripoli old Souks at north Lebanon, in which the instructor and the students will analyze and propose some solutions of building thermal retrofit within this historical context, using a collaborative problem-solving strategy that could clarify its reversal extent on the validity of health and wellbeing with the continuity of conserving the architectural heritage.
Scenario Forecasts of Population Dynamics in Some Countries of Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Zinkina Yu. V. , Shulgin S. G.
Published: July 2020

Purpose. In Sub-Saharan Africa, UN demographers expect the population to nearly double over the next 30 years (2020–2050), increasing by more than 1 billion people. Demographic changes of such speed and scale will undoubtedly have global implications. The purpose of the work is to calculate a number of scenarios of the demographic future for some countries of the region, taking into account specific features and events of African recent demographic history (in contrast to the UN forecasts). We also aim to assess the difference between various scenarios for each country and the attainability of the “optimistic” scenario.

Materials and methods. We develop scenario forecasts for population dynamics in a number of African countries. In all scenarios, mortality dynamics corresponds to the “medium” UN forecast. For the birth rate dynamics, two scenarios were simulated: the optimistic one (birth rate goes from current rates to 2.1 children per woman in 20 years, which was observed in Iran; Rwanda and Ethiopia are more or less close to this scenario) and the inertial one (for countries where birth rate declined in 2005–2015, this decline was simulated to continue at the same rate; for countries where birth rate “froze”, two options were modeled; both projected birth rate decline at 0.1 child per woman annually, either starting immediately or after another 10 years).

The results show that all scenarios, even the “optimistic” one, forecast a huge population increase in all countries considered (Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia) over the next 30 years. Slow birth rate decline (or prolonged “stagnation” at high levels) parallel to successful mortality reduction (especially in infants and children) accumulated enormous demographic inertia in many countries of Sub-Saharan Africa (to calculate its scope, an additional “provisional” scenario was calculated in the work). The difference between the “inertial” and the “optimistic” reaches the size or even sometimes exceeds the current population of the country. This underlines the importance of the governments’ efforts to curb population growth. Ethiopia proves such efforts.

Conclusion. Only in Ethiopia the “inertial” and “optimistic” scenarios almost coincide thanks to demographic growth-reducing efforts undertaken there since the early 1990s; thus, in 2005–2015 the birth rate decreased by 1.3 children per woman. This proves that achieving an “optimistic” scenario is possible in African countries, although with considerable and concentrated efforts.
Microbiome in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Mechanisms and Signaling Pathways
Authors: Hayati Nurani , Panjaitan Caesary Cloudya , Sandra Ferry
Published: July 2020

Oral squamous cell carcinoma is part of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma which is the ultimate cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer. The alteration of microbial community in the saliva might act as a helpful marker for the prediction, detection and prognosis oral cancer, particularly the transition of cancer precursor lesion. There are three mechanisms of action of oral microbiota in cancer pathogenesis, chronic inflammation of bacterial stimulation, carcinogenesis by cytoskeletal rearrangements, and carcinogenic substances that produced by microorganisms. Changes in the composition of microbiota could therefore have the potential to be used as a significant oral biomarker to predict the pathological transition from oral epithelial precursor lesion to cancer.Keywords: microbiome, oral cancer cellular proliferation, microorganism, oral cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma

Authors: Abuelizz Hatem A. , Anouar El Hassane , Marzouk Mohamed , Hasan Mizaton H. , Saleh Siti R. , Ahudhaif Adi , Alburikan Khalid A. , Al-Salahi Rashad
Published: June 2020

Background:

The use of tyrosinase has confirmed to be the best means of recognizing safe, effective,
and potent tyrosinase inhibitors for whitening skin. Twenty-four 2-phenoxy(thiomethyl)pyridotriazolopyrimidines
were synthesized and characterized in our previous studies.

Objective:

The present work aimed to evaluate their cytotoxicity against HepG2 (hepatocellular carcinoma),
A549 (pulmonary adenocarcinoma), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma) and WRL 68 (embryonic liver) cell lines.

Methods:

MTT assay was employed to investigate the cytotoxicity, and a tyrosinase inhibitor screening kit was
used to evaluate the Tyrosinase (TYR) inhibitory activity of the targets.

Results:

The tested compounds exhibited no considerable cytotoxicity, and nine of them were selected for
a tyrosinase inhibitory test. Compounds 2b, 2m, and 5a showed good inhibitory percentages against TYR
compared to that of kojic acid (reference substance). Molecular docking was performed to rationalize the
Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) of the target pyridotriazolopyrimidines and analyze the binding between
the docked-selected compounds and the amino acid residues in the active site of tyrosinase.

Conclusion:

The target pyridotriazolopyrimidines were identified as a new class of tyrosinase inhibitors.
Proteomics Studies in Oncology Towards Personalized Medicine in Public Health: Opportunities and Challenges for OMICS Research in Iran
Authors: Mojtahedi Zahra , Ghaderi Abbas
Published: July 2020

Although personalized medicine is not a new concept, recent advances in OMICS technologies and highthroughput discovery of biomarkers have taken this goal to greater heights as well as challenges, particularly from the perspective of globalized post-genomics science. The crucial question is to what extent developing countries can participate in this nascent healthcare facet in the 21st century? In Iran, this issue is even more challenging due to several cross-cutting factors such as inadequate financial and skilled human resources and importantly, sanctions on the import of a wide array of technologies that have seriously affected advanced proteomic instruments such as mass spectrometry. Apart from these barriers, another drawback is the inadequate incorporation of high-throughput data into cancer clinical settings. The available instruments in Iran are essentially limited to the level of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis equipment. However, opportunity still exists for collaboration with proteomic centers equipped with mass spectrometry abroad while local scientists contributing to proteomics study conception, design and implementation. In this article, we discuss the current OMICS data-intensive research conducted in Iran, with a view to "proteomics-in-oncology", considering in parallel the effects of international sanctions on the ongoing research in the country. The lessons learned have broad importance to inform the global personalized medicine scientific community on the ways in which postgenomics science is presently making strides in resource-limited settings.

Published: July 2020

The near-edge luminescence of zinc oxide epitaxial film grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on a sapphire substrate was studied. Under an optical excitation increase at room temperature, the luminescence spectrum changes radically and a new band appears with a maximum of ~ 3.17 eV. It has features of stimulated emission i.e. a threshold of nonlinear growth and narrowing of the half-width. Using the model of a one-dimensional amplifier and experimental data, the gain spectrum was calculated, with maximal value being 170 cm– 1. The analysis of theoretical approaches for calculating the Mott concentration is carried out. For the first time it is shown that nearby the threshold intensity the observed stimulated emission is originated from the second phonon replica of the exciton.

The electronic structure of an ultra-thin molybdenum oxide film obtained by oxidation of molybdenum at an oxygen pressure of 1 Torr and the effect of adsorption of sodium atoms Na on its electronic structure are studied by ultra-vacuum photoelectron spectroscopy in ultrahigh vacuum. Photoemission spectra from the valence band and core levels of O 2s, Mo 3d Mo 3p, and Na 1p are studied, upon synchrotron excitation in the photon energy range 80 − 600 eV. It is shown that in the formed oxide film, molybdenum is in two states: Mo6+ and Mo4+. On the surface of the oxide, oxygen is induced both in the composition of the oxides and in hydroxyl. It was shown that MoO3 is formed on the surface, and MoO2 at a distance from the surface. The deposition of Na atoms leads to intercalation of the molybdenum oxide layer.

Hybrid structures were synthesized from monodisperse spherical silica particles, which are spherical microcavities, and emitting carbon nanodots on their surface. Carbon nanodots are attached to the surface of the particles by controlled coagulation in three solvents: ammonia, hydrochloric acid and glycerol. Intense narrow lines associated with the emission of nanodots in the whispering gallery modes of a spherical microcavity were observed in the photoluminescence spectra of hybrid structures over the entire radiation wavelength range of carbon nanodots from UV to near IR. All observed lines were identified by comparison with the spectral positions of the whispering gallery modes calculated by the method of spherical wave transfer matrices.

The X-ray and Mossbauer studies of the Brownmillerite phase have been carried out in the given work and the well-known literature data on the single phase compounds with a perovskite structure in ferrite strontium SrFeO3-δ have been analyzed. It has been found out that all Fe valence states for any phase composition of ferrite strontium are determined by its local oxygen environment. It allows us to understand the behavior of Fe transition from one valence state to another when adding oxygen vacancies and to explain the Fe structural states in the SrFeO3-δ oxide including single and two-phase compositions. This approach is a more general case for description of the all known compounds and synthesized phase combinations in SrFeO3-δ and the formula considered in literature for the single-phase structures well agrees with it.

Using the model of delocalized atoms, a substantiation and generalization of the Schmelzer glass transition criterion is proposed. In contrast to the Bartenev and Volkenstein - Ptitsyn approaches, in the generalized kinetic glass transition criterion, along with the relaxation time and the cooling rate of the melt, the glass transition temperature and an almost universal dimensionless constant appear, which is determined by the fraction of the fluctuation volume frozen at the glass transition temperature. The idea is developed that the liquid goes into a glassy state when its cooling rate q reaches a certain fraction of C_g of the characteristic cooling rate q_g=(T_g/taug), which is closely related to the relaxation time of the structure tau_g at the glass transition temperature T_g.

Huanglongbing (HLB) es una de las enfermedades más destructivas que afecta a los cítricos en el mundo. En el continente americano, HLB se detectó primero en Brasil y posteriormente en Florida (Estados Unidos). Las áreas citrícolas de Colombia se mantuvieron libres de la enfermedad hasta que en abril de 2016 el Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario (ICA) declaró en cuarentena fitosanitaria al departamento de La Guajira por la presencia de HLB. En ese momento se intensificaron las acciones de control y erradicación; sin embargo, el informe del primer semestre de 2018 elaborado por el ICA reportó la presencia de HLB en seis departamentos del norte de Colombia. El presente estudio propone una metodología para analizar el riesgo potencial de HLB y su insecto vector Diaphorina citri mediante el uso de tecnología geoespacial, que permite determinar la ubicación de plantas hospederas, grados días de desarrollo del vector y variables bioclimáticas. Los resultados señalan que cerca del 15 % de las áreas citrícolas de Colombia se encuentra en un alto riesgo a la presencia de la enfermedad. Esta metodología se presenta como una opción para el monitoreo de la enfermedad a escala regional, ya que es automatizable y tiene una dinámica espacio-temporal alta que puede ser utilizada para la detección temprana de HLB.

BACKGROUND

Creating an ontology for COVID-19 surveillance should help ensure transparency and consistency. Ontologies formalize conceptualizations at either the domain or application level. Application ontologies cross domains and are specified through testable use cases. Our use case was an extension of the role of the Oxford Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) Research and Surveillance Centre (RSC) to monitor the current pandemic and become an in-pandemic research platform.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to develop an application ontology for COVID-19 that can be deployed across the various use-case domains of the RCGP RSC research and surveillance activities.

METHODS

We described our domain-specific use case. The actor was the RCGP RSC sentinel network, the system was the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the outcomes were the spread and effect of mitigation measures. We used our established 3-step method to develop the ontology, separating ontological concept development from code mapping and data extract validation. We developed a coding system–independent COVID-19 case identification algorithm. As there were no gold-standard pandemic surveillance ontologies, we conducted a rapid Delphi consensus exercise through the International Medical Informatics Association Primary Health Care Informatics working group and extended networks.

RESULTS

Our use-case domains included primary care, public health, virology, clinical research, and clinical informatics. Our ontology supported (1) case identification, microbiological sampling, and health outcomes at an individual practice and at the national level; (2) feedback through a dashboard; (3) a national observatory; (4) regular updates for Public Health England; and (5) transformation of a sentinel network into a trial platform. We have identified a total of 19,115 people with a definite COVID-19 status, 5226 probable cases, and 74,293 people with possible COVID-19, within the RCGP RSC network (N=5,370,225).

CONCLUSIONS

The underpinning structure of our ontological approach has coped with multiple clinical coding challenges. At a time when there is uncertainty about international comparisons, clarity about the basis on which case definitions and outcomes are made from routine data is essential.

Peranakan Etawa (PE) goat farming is one of the growing livestock sectors in Indonesia. Indonesia needs a sustainable breeding system that can guarantee the availability of goats. Estrus synchronization is a necessity that can help uniform the breeding time and manage the time of pregnancy and birth. Artificial estrus synchronization techniques that use a combination of Prosterone and Zinc minerals give good results of estrus synchronization in goats. The Aim of this research is to understand the combination efectiveness of estrus synchronization technique with progesterone acetate and Zinc supplementation. The design of this study used two treatment groups, each group consisting of three does PE goats. Estrus synchronization of experimental animals in treatment 1 and 2 was carried out using polyurethane sponge implant method which contained medroxi progesterone acetate 60 mg. Group 1 was given Sponge Progesterone for nine 9 days while giving Zinc (Zn) mineral supplement (Elemental Zn 20 mg, Kimia Farma) orally given 7 times. The frequency of Zinc administration every day begins during intra vaginal sponge insertion. Group 2 was treated same as group 1 with 14 days of implant time and 7 times of Zinc supplementation.The results showed that both treatments occurred estrus simultaneously with good estrus quality. Both treatments show the results of the estrus 8 score assessment with the estrus 3-9 range. The maximum estrus quality’s value of group 2 was higher (8.33 ± 0.57) compared to group 1 (8.0 ± 1.0). The estrus duration of group 2 occurs for 24 hours and group 1 for 7 hours. Estrus onset of Group 2 is earlier (58 hours) than group 1 (75 hours). Both treatment groups showed an increase in temperature at period of the occurrence of estrus. Body temperature during estrus time was 38.7 ± 0.20 0C to 39.60 ± 0.26 0C. The conclusion of this study is that in both treatments of estrus synchronization using sponge progesterone and zinc supplementation can cause estrus synchronization effectively . The duration of estrus in group 1 (9 days of implant) was Shorter than group 2 (14 days of implant). The onset of estrus time of group 1 (9 days of implant) was longer than Group 2 (14 days of implant). The body temperature of the experimental animals increases with the occurrence of estrus.

Ehrlichiosis is a zoonotic diseases caused by blood parasitic infection that can be transmitted by a ticks. Dogs infected with Ehrlichiosis canis who not treated for long periods of time can cause anemia and result in death. Although many diseases are found in the field but the percentage rate of the incidence of the disease is unknown. This study aims to detect Ehrlichiosis disease in dog patients treated at Jogja Veteinary Clinic by using Ehrlichiosis diagnosis kit available in the field. The material used in this study used dog patients who came to the Jogja Veterinary Clinic during April to September 2017. Dog patients who showed signs of infection of blood parasites with clinical symptoms of appetite and drinking down, weak, lethargic, found the presence of a ticks, or there history of infected ticks was included in the study. Patients who entered the study criteria, then taken the blood through the vena cephalika by using a 3 ml sterile syringe. Furthermore, fresh blood drops on the Ehrlichiosis detection kit according to the manufacturer's instructions. Furthermore, the results are positive if found two lines and negative when only seen one line. Data of research result are presented in tabular form and percentage of disease according to result obtained. The results of the research showed that there were 7,63% (15/1,785) positive dogs suffering from Ehrlichiosis. These results can illustrate the incidence of Ehrlichiosis in dogs, especially in dog patients treated at the Jogja Veterinary Clinic, because of the danger of Ehrlichiosis (zoonotic), awarness is needed.
