Authors: Гаглоева Э. М. , Брин Вадим Борисович , Молдован Т. В. , Боциева Н. В.
Published: February 2021

В опытах на крысах линии Вистар показано, что ежедневное введение мелатонина через зонд в желудок в дозе 5 мг/кг одновременно с внутрижелудочным применением раствора хлорида никеля в дозе 5 мг/кг (60 сут) приводит к уменьшению выраженности патологических сдвигов показателей клеточного и плазменного гемостаза, антикоагулянтной и фибринолитической систем в среднем на 31 % (p < 0,05) и уменьшению уровня тромбинемиина 24 % (p < 0,05). Показанные изменения коррелировали с увеличением активности антиоксидантных ферментов крови. Результаты исследования позволяют рекомендовать применение мелатонина для разработки способов фармакологической коррекции нарушений гемостаза при воздействии на организм соединений никеля

Published: February 2021

Известно, что органическая соль лития — лития оксибутират — проявляет ритмомодулирующую активность в дозе 10 мг/кг. В нашей работе проверена гипотеза о сохранении этой активности лития оксибутирата при уменьшении применяемой дозы с 10 до 5 мг/кг, и проведен сравнительный анализ указанного эффекта с действием лития цитрата и препарата на основе лития цитрата, оксида алюминия и полиметилсилоксана в равнозначных по содержанию лития дозах (0,32 мг/кг). Установлено, что лития оксибутират при уменьшении его дозы до 5 мг/кг сохранял свое ритмомодулирующее действие, способствуя переходу ритмов поведенческой активности и температуры тела на свободно-текущий режим в период зимнего солнцестояния, а также облегчал процессы внутренней синхронизации эндогенных ритмов. Однако препарат терял способность к удлинению периодов околосуточных гармоник. Аналогичные результаты получены для других органических солей лития. Ни одна из исследованных солей лития в указанной дозе и условиях введения препаратов не проявляла антидепрессивной активности, которая, как известно, связана с замедлением ритмики физиологических процессов в организме.
Peculiarities of transformation of phytoplankton of Zhytomir reserve
Authors:   Zhitomir Ivan Franko State University, Shelyuk Yu.
Published: February 2021

Stable functioning of the ecosystem of the Zhytomir reservoir, which is indicated by the absence of directed changes in the primary production over a long period, is pro­bably supported by the alterations of the algae groups at the level of their structure, by the high speed of incorporation of organic matter into the bio-water cycle, and by large areas of water levels. Over the last 10 years, the role of blue-green algae has decreased in the taxonomic composition of the phytoplankton of the Zhytomir reservoir, while the species richness of green, euglenic and golden ones has increased; there were minor alterations to the phytoplankton structure at the class level and more noticeable changes at the order, family, and birth levels. Over a period of almost ten years the species saturation of the genus Chlamydomonas Ehrenb., Euglena Ehrenb., Cyclotella Kützing., Peridinium Ehrenb. Generally, the generic coefficients and the saturation of species with intraspecific taxa increased (which was also observed for the small Denyshivske reservoir), whereas for large reservoirs of the Dnipro and Volga there is a tendency to simplify the taxonomic structure of phytoplankton with their age. Phytoplankton biomass indicators remained unchanged for almost ten years, however, there was a shift in biomass peaks from summer to autumn. The number of algae cells decreased. Phytoplankton alignment decreased. Inadequacy has been established in the trophic status of the Zhytomir Reservoir, determined by biomass and primary phytoplankton production. The higher trophic level, determined by the intensity of photosynthesis, is probably due to the predominance in the dominant complexes of small-cell highly productive species that support the high trophic status of aquatic ecosystems with relatively low phytoplankton biomass. At the present stage, there is a tendency to improve the water quality of the reservoir according to the saprobiological indicators of phytoplankton development in comparison with 2003–2007.
Distribution, population densiti and behavior in the space of ermine (Mustela erminea L.) in conditions Roztotchya and Nadsyannya
Authors:   Yavorivskyi National Nature Park, Stelmakh S.
Published: February 2021

Peculiarities of distribution, population density and spatial behavior of ermine in the winter season in the natural regions of Roztotchya and Nadsyannia have been studied. About 60 % of the district’s territory lies within the hilly region of Roztocko-Opil, in particular Roztocze, the other part belongs to Prykarpattia, namely the Nadsyan plain. Methods of tracking and accounting of traces on snow were used. Population density calculations were performed according to the updated formula Formozova. The results of research have shown that the ermine is a fairly common species on both the Roztoc Upland and the Nadsyan Plain. However, the habitats of this predator mostly cover aquatic habitats (67 %). The best stations are primarily the coastal strip of small rivers and streams. In second place in terms of the number of registered traces of the species is the border of forests and arable fields, or meadows (20 %). In large forests, the species is mostly registered on fellings and young forest crops (8 %). In fields more than 500 m away from forests and water bodies, ermine is rare (3 %). Occasionally ermine is registered in settlements – near buildings (2 %). The highest population density of the species was observed in 2010 (8 individuals / 1000 ha). The lowest rates were registered in 2012 (2 individuals / 1000 ha). On average, the amplitude of fluctuations in ermine population density for 10 consecutive years reached 4 times the value. However, in coastal stations, the difference between the extreme indicators was 6 times (2–12 individuals / 1000 ha). The length of the daily course of ermines in winter is from 200 m to 4.5 km, on average 1.2 km. The average size of a single area of ​​the animal along the shores of reservoirs is 15–20 hectares, in the depths of the forest can be 100 hectares or more. Individual areas of males are slightly larger than females and are often superimposed on them. Instead, individual areas of males or females that live nearby almost never overlap. Some ermines can lead a nomadic lifestyle. The species is often active during the light period of the day.

ANALYSIS OF THE ROLE OF ACTORS IN IMPLEMENTATION ISLAMIZATION OF EDUCATION (STUDY ON BASIC EDUCATION POLICY IN NORTH ACEH DISTRICT)
Authors: Hafni Nur
Published: February 2021

The role actor’s in implementation support the effort of Islamization of Education by integrating Islamic education concept into regular basic education in North Aceh district. This study investigates how this coalition network plays their roles in succeeding the implementation of the Islamization education concept at the school level through advocating cross-sectorial actors within the regency so that the integration concept can be generated into district regulation and can be implemented at the lower level by implementing agencies including schools. Besides, the current study also seeks some issues and challenges the coalition face during the process of concept integration and advocacy. The findings show that there are some constraints on both contexts of policy and practical level, especially, regarding the resource sharing availability. Responding to this situation, Dayah Education Office, Scholars Consultative Assembly, North Aceh Representative Council (DPRK), Mass media, and other education stakeholders suggest the integration can be performed by adopting models and curriculum implemented in Dayah education since Aceh province has special right to implement education system respectfully to the local characteristics and local wisdom in Aceh.

Analytical modeling of methane hydrate dissociation under thermal stimulation
Authors: Roostaie Mohammad , Leonenko Yuri
Published: February 2021

In this study, a one-dimensional analytical model to describe heat and mass transfer during methane hydrate dissociation under thermal stimulation in porous media has been developed. The model is based on a similarity solution that considers a moving dissociation boundary which separates the dissociated zone containing produced gas and water from the un-dissociated zone containing only methane hydrate. The results of temperature distribution, pressure distribution, energy efficiency, and parametric study considering various initial and boundary conditions as well as various reservoir properties are presented and compared with previous studies. Sensitivity analysis of gas production on reservoir properties is also presented in this paper. The dissociation boundary moves faster by increasing the heat source temperature while decreasing the heat source pressure simultaneously, but the associated energy efficiency decreases. Increasing the well thickness has a negative effect on the energy efficiency of the process. Among the proposed thermal properties of the system, only the thermal diffusivities and conductivites of the reservoir as well as the porosity of the sediment affect the dissociation. The main contribution of this work is investigating analytically the hydrate dissociation using thermal stimulation by taking into account the effect of wellbore thickness and structure.
Disagree? You Must be a Bot! How Beliefs Shape Twitter Profile Perceptions
Authors: Wischnewski Magdalena , Bernemann Rebecca , Ngo Thao , Krämer Nicole
Published: February 2021

In this paper, we investigate the human ability to distinguish political social bots from humans on Twitter. Following motivated reasoning theory from social and cognitive psychology, our central hypothesis is that especially those accounts which are opinion-incongruent are perceived as social bot accounts when the account is ambiguous about its nature. We also hypothesize that credibility ratings mediate this relationship. We asked N = 151 participants to evaluate 24 Twitter accounts and decide whether the accounts were humans or social bots. Findings support our motivated reasoning hypothesis for a sub-group of Twitter users (those who are more familiar with Twitter): Accounts that are opinion-incongruent are evaluated as relatively more bot-like than accounts that are opinion-congruent. Moreover, it does not matter whether the account is clearly social bot or human or ambiguous about its nature. This was mediated by perceived credibility in the sense that congruent profiles were evaluated to be more credible resulting in lower perceptions as bots.
Exploratory preferences explain the cultural success of imaginary worlds in modern societies
Authors: Dubourg Edgar , Thouzeau Valentin , de Dampierre Charles , Baumard Nicolas
Published: February 2021

Imaginary worlds are one of the hallmarks of modern culture. They are present in many of the most successful fictions, be it in novels (e.g., Harry Potter), films (e.g., Star Wars), video games (e.g., The Legend of Zelda), graphic novels (e.g., One piece) and TV series (e.g., Game of Thrones). This phenomenon is global (e.g., the worldwide success of Lord of the Ring, the emergence of xuanhuan and xanxia genres in China), and massive: people spend an increasing amount of time, energy and resources involved in fictions with imaginary worlds. Why so much attention devoted to nonexistent worlds? In this paper, we propose that imaginary worlds co-opt exploratory preferences, a set of cognitive preferences that have evolved in humans and non-human animals to motivate individuals to explore new sources of reward. Imaginary worlds are fictional superstimuli that tap into the human’s interest for unfamiliar and potentially rewarding environments. This theory predicts that 1) fictions with imaginary worlds should be more appealing for individuals higher in Openness to experience (because this personality trait is associated with exploratory preferences), 2) such fictions should be more attractive for younger people (because young people reap more rewards from exploratory behaviors) and 3) such fictions should be more successful in more economically developed societies (because affluent ecologies lower the costs of exploration). We successively test these predictions with two large cultural datasets, namely IMDb (N=85,855 films) and Wikidata (N=96,711 novels), as well the Movie Personality Dataset, which aggregates averaged personality traits and demographic data from the Facebook myPersonality Database (N=3.5 million), the films they like on Facebook and metadata for films from the Internet Movie Database (IMDb). We provide evidence that the appeal for imaginary worlds relies on our exploratory psychology.

Published: February 2021

Transactional processes between parental support and adolescents’ depressive symptoms might differ in the short term versus long term. Therefore, this multi-sample study tested bidirectional within-family associations between perceived parental support and depressive symptoms in adolescents with datasets with varying measurement intervals: Daily (N = 244, Mage = 13.8 years, 38% male), bi-weekly (N = 256, Mage= 14.4 years, 29% male), three-monthly (N = 245, Mage = 13.9 years, 38% male), annual (N = 1,664, Mage = 11.1 years, 51% male), and biennial (N = 502, Mage = 13.8 years, 48% male). Pre-registered random-intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPM) showed negative between- and within-family correla-tions. Moreover, although the pre-registered models showed no within-family lagged effect from perceived parental support to adolescent depressive symptoms at any timescale, an exploratory model demonstrated a negative lagged effect at a biennial timescale with the annual dataset. Concerning the reverse within-family lagged effect, increases in adolescent depressive symptoms predicted decreases in perceived parental support two weeks and three months later (relationship erosion effect). Most cross-lagged effects were not moderated by adolescent sex or neuroticism trait level. Thus, the findings mostly support adolescent-driven effects at understudied timescales and illustrate that within-family lagged effects do not generalize across timescales.
The effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on the interplay between executive control, behavioral variability and mind wandering: A registered report
Authors: Alexandersen Andreas , Csifcsák Gábor , Groot Josephine Maria , Mittner Matthias
Published: February 2021

Mind wandering (MW) is a mental phenomenon humans experience daily. Yet, we lack a complete understanding of the neural basis of this pervasive mental state. Over the past decade there has been an increase in publications using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to modulate the propensity to mind wander, but findings are diverse, and a satisfactory conclusion is missing. Recently, Boayue et al. (2020) reported successful reduction of mind wandering using high-definition tDCS (HD-tDCS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, providing preliminary evidence for the efficacy of HD-tDCS in interfering with mind wandering. The current study is a high-powered, pre-registered direct replication attempt of the effect found by Boayue et al. (2020). In addition, we investigated whether the effects of HD-tDCS on mind wandering would be prolonged and assessed the underlying processes of mind wandering using electroencephalography (EEG) and pupillometry during a finger-tapping random sequence generation task that requires the use of executive resources. We failed to find any evidence of the original effect of reduced MW during and after stimulation. When combining our data with the data from Boayue et al. (2020), the original effect of reduced MW caused by HD-tDCS disappeared. In addition, we observed increased occipital alpha power as task duration increased and increased midfrontal theta power preceding response patterns signaling high executive function use. Finally, tonic and phasic pupil size decreased as task duration increased yet, phasic responses were increased, while tonic responses were reduced preceding reports of MW. Additionally phasic pupil size also showed a tendency to be increased during periods of high executive function use. Importantly, none of the EEG or pupil measures were modulated by HD-tDCS. We conclude that HD-tDCS over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex does not affect MW propensity and its neural signatures. Furthermore, we recommend that previously reported effects of tDCS on mind wandering and other cognitive functions should only be accepted after a successful pre-registered replication.
Advancing the Cognitive Science of Religion through Replication and Open Science
Authors: Hoogeveen Suzanne , van Elk Michiel
Published: February 2021

The Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR) is a relatively young but prolific field that has offered compelling insights into religious minds and practices. However, many empirical findings within this field are still preliminary and their reliability remains to be determined. In this paper, we first argue that it is crucial to critically evaluate the CSR literature and adopt open science practices and replication research in particular to move the field forward. Second, we highlight the outcomes of previous replications and make suggestions for future replication studies in the CSR, with a particular focus on neuroscience, developmental psychology, and qualitative research. Finally, we provide a ‘replication script’ with advice on how to select, conduct, and organize replication research. Our approach is illustrated with a ‘glimpse behind the scenes’ of the recently launched Cross-Cultural Religious Replication Project, in the hope of inspiring scholars of religion to embrace open science and replication in their own research.
News from Generative Artificial Intelligence is Believed Less
Authors: Longoni Chiara , Fradkin Andrey , Cian Luca , Pennycook Gordon
Published: February 2021

Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms are now able to produce text virtually indistinguishable from text written by humans across a variety of domains. A key question, then, is whether people believe content from AI as much as content from humans. Trust in the (human generated) news media has been decreasing over time and AI is viewed as lacking human desires, and emotions, suggesting that AI news may be viewed as more accurate. Contrary to this, two preregistered experiments conducted on representative U.S. samples (combined N = 4,034) showed that people rated news produced by AI as being less accurate than news produced by humans. When news items were tagged as produced by AI (compared to a human), people were more likely to incorrectly rate them as inaccurate when they were actually true, and more likely to correctly rate them as inaccurate when they were indeed false. These results were robust to experimental paradigm (separate and joint evaluations), news item (actual veracity, age), and several respondent characteristics (e.g., political orientation). This effect is particularly important given the increasing use of AI algorithms in news production, and the associated ethical and governance pressures to disclose their use.
New York City Jails: COVID Discharge Policy, Data Transparency, and Reform
Authors: Miller Eli , Martin Bryan D. , Topaz Chad M.
Published: February 2021

During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Mayor Bill de Blasio ordered the release of individuals incarcerated in New York City jails who were at high risk of contracting the disease and at low risk of committing criminal reoffense. Using public information, we construct and analyze a database of nearly 350,000 incarceration episodes in the city jail system from 2014 – 2020, paying special attention to what happened during the week of March 23 – 29, 2020, immediately following the mayor's order. In concordance with de Blasio's stated policy, we find that being discharged during this focus week is associated with a lower probability of readmission as compared to being discharged during the same calendar week in previous years. Furthermore, comparing the individuals discharged during the focus week of 2020 to those discharged during the same calendar week in previous years, we find that the former group was, on average, slightly older than the latter group, although the difference is not large. Additionally, the individuals in the former group had spent substantially longer in jail than those in the latter group. With the release of long-serving individuals demonstrated to be feasible, we also examine how the jail population would have looked over the past six years had caps in incarceration been in place. With a cap of one year, the system would experience a 15% decrease in incarceration. With a cap of 100 days, the reduction would be over 50%. Because our results are only as accurate as New York City's public-facing jail data, we discuss numerous challenges with this data and suggest improvements related to the incarcerated individual's age, gender, race, and more. Finally, we discuss the policy implications of our work, highlight some opportunities and challenges posed by incarceration caps, and suggest key areas for reform. One such reform might involve identifying and discharging low-risk individuals sooner in general, which might be feasible given the de Blasio administration's actions during the early stages of COVID-19.
Efecto del manejo silvicultural sobre el área foliar y la evapotranspiración en Pinus taeda en el noreste de Uruguay

Published: February 2021

La poda y el raleo son prácticas silviculturales que buscan aumentar la productividad de los rodales. Estas prácticas también afectan variables estructurales y funcionales de los sistemas forestales. Este estudio evaluó la incidencia del raleo y la poda sobre una variable estructural, el índice de área foliar (IAF), y sobre una variable funcional, la evapotranspiración, en una plantación de Pinus taeda en Uruguay. Se evaluaron dos estaciones de crecimiento (2008-2009 y 2009-2010) en un rodal plantado en 2003 a una densidad inicial de 1000 árboles ha-1. En junio de 2008 el 40% de los árboles fueron raleados y se podó el 50% de la copa de los árboles remanentes. El IAF fue estimado mediante fotografía hemisférica digital, en parcelas tratadas y testigo. Los valores de IAF se utilizaron para el cálculo de la resistencia superficial, término que luego se incluyó en la ecuación de Penman-Monteith para estimar la evapotranspiración máxima (ETm). El tratamiento silvicultural redujo 61% en promedio el IAF y esto resultó en una disminución promedio de la ETm de 45%. El manejo explicó el 55% de la variación del IAF y el 3% de la variación de la ETm. La ETm fue en promedio 32% y 15% menor en parcelas tratadas que en las testigo en la primera y segunda estación de crecimiento respectivamente. El incremento del área foliar fue mayor en los árboles tratados durante los dos años posteriores al tratamiento en relación a los árboles de las parcelas testigo.

Published: February 2021

Xanthomonas citri sbsp. citri (Xcc) es la especie bacteriana causante del cancro cítrico, enfermedad restrictiva para el comercio internacional de fruta fresca. Veinte aislamientos de Xcc, de Uruguay y la región, responsables de la forma más severa del cancro cítrico, fueron caracterizados a nivel fenotípico y genotípico con el fin de conocer su diversidad. Su identidad fue confirmada por anticuerpos específicos, PCR e inoculación. Se evaluó la virulencia en plantas de pomelo y la sensibilidad a antibióticos. A nivel genotípico, las cepas fueron caracterizadas según el perfil plasmídico y las secuencias repetidas ERIC. Todas las cepas resultaron sensibles a estreptomicina y ampicilina, a excepción de la cepa 89.5ex, resistente a ampicilina. En el análisis de virulencia, expresada por el número de pústulas inducidas/cm2 de tejido vegetal, se observaron diferencias entre las cepas aunque no es posible agrupar los aislamientos por similitud de virulencia. El aislamiento 138.2 se destaca por desarrollar mayor cantidad de pústulas en todos los ensayos realizados. Se identificaron tres perfiles plasmídicos, siendo mayoritario el perfil conformado por dos plásmidos, presentes en el 65% de las cepas. La «huella dactilar» obtenida por ERIC es igual en 18 de los aislamientos analizados, aunque dos de ellos presentaron una banda diferencial de 1992 pb. A pesar de las diferencias mencionadas, la población estudiada mostró un alto nivel de homogeneidad, característica ya descrita para Xcc. Es interesante observar que el aislamiento con mayor virulencia fue el único en el cual se detectaron tres plásmidos.
Landscape Management for Sustainable Supplies of Bioenergy Feedstock and Enhanced Soil Quality
Authors: Karlen Douglas L. , Muth David J. Jr.
Published: February 2021

Agriculture can simultaneously address global food, feed, fiber, and energy challenges provided our soil, water, and air resources are not compromised in doing so. Our objective is to present a landscape management concept as an approach for integrating multiple bioenergy feedstock sources into current crop production systems. This is done to show how multiple, increasing global challenges can be met in a sustainable manner. We discuss how collaborative research among USDAAgricultural Research Service (ARS), US Department of Energy (DOE) Idaho National Laboratory (INL), several university extension and research partners, and industry representatives [known as the Renewable Energy Assessment Project (REAP) team] has led to the development of computer-based decision aids for guiding sustainable bioenergy feedstock production. The decision aids, known initially as the «Corn Stover Tool» and more recently as the «Landscape Environmental Assessment Framework» (LEAF) are tools designed to recognize the importance of nature’s diversity and can therefore be used to guide sustainable feedstock production without having negative impacts on critical ecosystem services. Using a 57 ha farm site in central Iowa, USA, we show how producer decisions regarding corn (Zea mays L.) stover harvest within the US Corn Belt can be made in a more sustainable manner. This example also supports REAP team conclusions that stover should not be harvested if average grain yields are less than 11 Mg ha-1 unless more balanced landscape management practices are implemented. The tools also illustrate the importance of sub-field management and site-specific stover harvest strategies.

Published: February 2021

El objetivo de la investigación fue identificar las características que influyen en el manejo de la información predial en explotaciones hortícolas familiares. El estudio involucró explotaciones familiares vinculadas a tres agrupaciones localizadas en Canelones, Uruguay. Se utilizó el enfoque sistémico para la caracterización de 101 productores con horticultura, partiendo de una encuesta telefónica realizada en el verano 2009/2010. Luego los productores se clasificaron en tres tipos en función de su toma de registros y uso de la información para iniciar el análisis. Se determinó que los factores motivadores del uso de la información de los registros fueron: el involucramiento de los jóvenes de la familia en la producción, los niveles de educación formal superiores de los titulares y de la familia, la naturaleza pluri-familiar y la asistencia técnica. También se destacó que dos de cada tres productores contaban con sus propios sistemas de registros (cuadernos de campo, computadoras). Se detectó que las principales informaciones consideradas para la toma de decisiones incluyen los resultados económicos y la disponibilidad de mano de obra familiar. En conclusión, el conocimiento de los factores motivadores y la información utilizada en la toma de decisiones abre un espacio para el trabajo participativo con productores para mejorar sus sistemas de información.

Lembaga Amil Zakat (LAZ) Solopeduli merupakan organisasi nirlaba berbasis pilantropi yang bertugas dalam pengelolaan zakat. Sama seperti organisasi profit, LAZ berusaha untuk mempromosikan program unggulannya, dengan memanfaatkan konten-konten multimedia untuk disebar melalui media sosial. Permasalahannya, belum semua program LAZ telah ada konten multimedianya. Apabila LAZ hendak membuat sebuah konten profil program berbasis multimedia, maka LAZ harus mempertimbangkan metode pengembangan sistem. Hal ini berkaitan dengan keterbatasan sumber daya manusia, waktu, dan keuangan lembaga yang dialokasikan untuk pengembangan. Minimnya penelitian terdahulu tentang konten multimedia pada LAZ, serta belum adanya pembahasan mendetail soal penerapan metode pengembangan multimedia, maka penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memberikan kontribusi baru dalam bidang multimedia di Indonesia. Penelitian ini memilih metode Godfrey dan metode Sherwood-Rout untuk dieksekusi, karena keduanya merupakan metode terstruktur, namun memiliki fokus yang berbeda dalam pengembangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana metode Godfrey dan metode Sherwood-Rout dapat mengembangkan profil program organisasi nirlaba, dan apa perbedaan yang diperoleh dari kedua metode tersebut dalam kasus ini. Hasilnya, penelitian ini telah menemukan tiga fokus utama yang dapat memberikan referensi kapan dan dalam situasi apa metode tersebut akan tepat digunakan.Kata Kunci: Godfrey Sherwood-Rout, Lembaga Amil Zakat, Animasi Program, MultimediaThe Amil Zakat Institute (LAZ) Solopeduli is a non-profit organization based on pilantropy which involves zakat management. Like profit organizations, LAZ strives to promote its flagship programs, utilizing multimedia content to be disseminated through social media. The problem is, not all LAZ programs have multimedia content. If LAZ wants to create multimedia-based profile program content, then LAZ must consider the system development method. This is related to the human resources, time, and financial institutions that are allocated for development. The lack of research on multimedia content at LAZ, and there has been no detailed discussion about the application of multimedia development methods, so this research was conducted to make new contributions in the field of multimedia in Indonesia. This study chose the Godfrey method and the Sherwood-Rout method to be executed, because it is a structured method, but has a different focus in development. The Godfrey research method and the Sherwood-Rout method can develop a nonprofit organization's program profile, and what are the differences obtained from the two methods in this case. The results, this study has found three main focus that can provide a reference at any time and in discussion what this method would be appropriate to use.Keywords: Godfrey Sherwood-Rout, Lembaga Amil Zakat, Program Animations, Multimedia

The tourism sector is one of the country's biggest foreign exchange earners. Foreign tourist visits to Indonesia reached 16.1 million during 2019. Therefore foreign tourist visits become a very important thing. In this study clustering will be carried out or grouping data on foreign tourist visits into 5 groups for the category of countries with very high, high, high enough, low and very low visits. Data processing was performed using the K-Means clustering method and the Principle Component Analysis (PCA) dimension reduction method. From the data processing, K-Means modeling results combined with the PCA method resulted in a smaller or better Davies Bouldin Index (DBI) evaluation value of 0.310 compared to K-Means modeling alone which obtained a DBI value of 0.382. The tools used in data processing are RapidMiner. The results of clustering are expected to be a reference for related parties to maximize the promotion of overseas tourism.
PRESERVATION THE TRADITIONS OF UKRAINIAN SPIRITUAL CHOIR CULTURE IN MUSIC SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH BY MYRON FEDORIV
Authors: Yatsiv I. V.
Published: February 2021

The article is devoted to the evaluation of scientific works of the well - known in the Ukrainian diaspora musicologist and publicist Myron Fedoriv in the context of the preservation of national song traditions outside the ethnic territory. The information on the most important theoretical achievements of the scientist is given, the place and value of activity of the cultural public figure in the history of musical and choral culture of Ukraine and the western diaspora is defined. The author notes that Myron Fedoriv lived most of his life in the United States. He left a large amount of musical material and theoretical works in the history of Ukrainian choral culture, so he stopped the destruction of song traditions and examples of canonical liturgical singing in Ukrainian churches of the diaspora. In his works, Myron Fedoriv wrote that the singing tradition is the basis of the Ukrainian national spiritual culture, and therefore it should be preserved in the Ukrainian Catholic Church in America. As a result, the musicological heritage of Myron Fedoriv is very valuable for the Ukrainian musical culture of the twentieth century. Thus, its activities deserve more detailed study.
La dimensión informativa sobre la guerra: su aplicación al caso de la intervención militar turca en Rojava
Authors:   Universidad de Granada, Moreno José Manuel
Published: February 2021

La intervención militar turca en el Kurdistán sirio, conocido como Rojava, demuestra que la guerra civil siria presenta una gran cantidad de aristas. El objetivo de la misma es crear una zona de seguridad donde reasentar a más de dos millones de refugiados sirios y expulsar del lugar a las milicias kurdas, opositoras al gobierno de Ankara. El presente artículo tiene como finalidad ahondar en el uso de encuadres utilizados por la prensa escrita española a la hora de cubrir la intervención militar turca en el país árabe. A través de una metodología clásica y cuantitativa, análisis de contenido, se ahondará en los discursos mediáticos de la prensa nacional con el objetivo de investigar qué narrativas están teniendo mayor peso. Esta contribución intenta explorar si las cuestiones humanitarias presentan mayor relevancia que las explicaciones centradas en la seguridad.

Coccidiosis is caused in chickens by the genus Eimeria spp, and is considered as one of the dominant poultry diseases worldwide. For decades, anticoccidial products have been used for the successful control of this disease. However, long term use of these products has led to the development of resistance. The current study therefore sought to investigate the anticoccidial activity of the methanol leaf extract of Lannea schimperi on experimentally induced Eimeria tenella (E. tenella) infection in broiler chickens in an attempt to provide good alternative therapy due to increasing resistance to the conventional anticoccidial agents. Seven groups (A-G) of 4 birds were used for the experiment and five groups (A-E) were orally inoculated with 1.0 x 103 sporulated oocysts of E. tenella. Groups A, B and C were treated with 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight of L. schimperi methanolic leaf extract respectively and Group D was treated with1.5 mg/ml of amprolium, group E served as negative control. Groups F and G were the uninfected neutral control and were treated with 25 and 100 mg/ml of L. schimperi methanol leaf extract respectively without being infected with E. tenella oocysts. Findings revealed dose dependent anticoccidial effect, with highest concentration of 100 mg/ml giving more activity than 50 and 25 mg/ml of the plant extract. Significant decrease (P ≤ 0.05) in the number of both schizonts and merozoites in the groups (A, B, C, F and G) treated with L. schimperi methanol leaf extract were observed. Large number of schizonts and merozoites were observed in the infected untreated group compared to the treated groups. Significant changes were also seen in the number of circulating eosinophils and lymphocytes. Insignificant changes (P > 0.05) in body weight gain were recorded; however, significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) in the intestinal mucus secretion was recorded in the amprolium treated group. These findings suggest that the methanolic leaf extract of L. schimperi possess anticoccidial activity that may warrant further investigation.

Yearling West African dwarf bucks were allotted into four (4) dietary treatments of four goats each. The goats were fed bamboo leaves at 250g/goat/day and concentrate supplement diets containing 0%,10%,15%and 20% cashew nutshell for T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively at 150g per goat/day for a duration of sixty-three (63) days. The experimental design was a completely randomized design ,data were analyzed using a one way analysis of variance and least significant difference to separate the significant means.(SPSS version 23, 2015 edition) Concentrate diets and bamboo leaf samples were analyzed using the methods of AOAC ( 2000)), on the last day of the experiment blood samples for hematological and serological studies were collected in sample bottles from the jugular veins of the goats ,using needles and syringes. Values for daily supplement intake (62.40 – 98.80 g), and total daily feed intake (249.98- 285.10 g) were significantly(P<0.05) different, daily bamboo intake (182.75 – 187.63g) were not significant. (P>0.05) All the hematological parameters determined were not significantly(P>0.05) different, only the cholesterol (4.80- -9.88Mmol/l) showed significant(P<0.05) difference amongst all the serological parameters tested. It was therefore concluded that cashew nutshell up to 15% level of inclusion in supplement diets for yearling West African dwarf goats had no adverse effects on the hematological and serum biochemical indices of the goats Cashew nut shell at 15% level of inclusion was recommended in supplement diets for yearling West African dwarf goats. Further research using other species of ruminants such as sheep and cattle was also recommended.

Published: February 2021

Background: Nephourolithiasis is a term refers to kidney stones formation, due to aggregation of minerals leading to the development of crystalluria in kidneys or any part of the urinary tract system. Many herbs were used to fragment and crush renal calculi. Habitually, it is noted that people who suffer from kidney problems are advised to eat large quantities of watermellon fruit then, the patient feels healing, without knowing the scientific reason for this improvement. Objectives The current study was designed to investigate the antilithiatic effects of Fresh Watermelon Juice (FWJ) on calcium oxalate kidney stones. Methods Direct exposure technique between FWJ and enucleate stons was used. The pH, and electrical conductivity (EC) of the exposure solution in addition to the chemical and morphological properties of the renal calculi before and after exposure using X-ray diffraction method (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were investigated. Results: after 24 hours of submerging renal calculi with FWJ, the calculi appeared dissolved and fragmented with absence of solidity, rigidity and crystallization. The Ph Value and electrical conductivity (EC) of FWJ increased significantly after 24 hours of submerging the calculi increasing total soluble solids and ion concentrations in the solution. X-ray diffraction showed sharp peaks and intensity of of calcium oxalate calculi indicating a significant change in calculus compositionn, shape and crysallization within 48 hours of exposure FWJ.Scanning electron microscope images of treated and untreated renal calculi showed a significant difference in the shape of the crystals that have been transformed from their regular shape as bipyramids with tetragonal crystal point group symmetry to sculpted and un coordinated particles with the absence of a regular geometric shape of crystals with no clear crystallization patterns. Conclusion: Fresh watermellone juice appears to have a strong effect on the shape and composition and integrity of renal calculi which may aid its expulsion from the body.
ÇAĞDAŞ TÜRK OYUN YAZARLIĞINDA İDEALİZASYON
Authors: ALPAN Ezgi Deniz
Published: February 2021

Tiyatro, hayatı sahnede yansılayan bir sanattır. Kişiler, olaylar, toplumsal yapı, yazarın bakış açısına göre kurgulanarak, bir söylem oluşturmak üzere yeniden yaratılır. Tiyatro sanatı Antik’ten günümüze, mesajını kimi bireysel ve toplumsal değerleri idealleştirip kimilerini de olumsuzlayarak verir. Temel dramatik türler tragedya, komedya ve melodram da idealizasyona hizmet eder. Türk oyun yazarlığına bakıldığında her dönemde oyun yazarlarının birey ve toplum hakkında ortak ideallere sahip olduğu görülür. Bu idealler çoğunlukla siyasal ve toplumsal ortamdan etkilenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2000 sonrası oyun yazarlığının çizdiği ideal birey ve toplum yapılarını, ortak temalar üzerinden çözümlemektir. Çalışmada kullanılacak yöntem nitel araştırma yöntemidir. Bu yöntemden oyun metinlerinin analizinde faydalanılmıştır. Dolayısıyla konunun niçin, hangi mesajı vermek için seçildiği, oyun kahramanının yargılarının ve eylemlerinin nasıl oluştuğu; oyun yazarlarının idealize ettiği birey ve toplum araştırılacak ve benzer temaya, mesaja sahip oyun metinlerinin kıyaslaması yapılacaktır. Araştırmanın kapsamı 2000 sonrası üretime başlayan yazarların, sahnelenmiş eserleriyle sınırlandırılmıştır.
