Authors: Al-Khazraji Ahmed N. , Mutasher Ammar A.
Published: December 2019

In this study, Laser Shock Peening (LSP) effect on the polymeric composite materials has been investigated experimentally. Polymeric composite materials are widely used because they are easy to fabricate and have many attractive features. Unsaturated polyester resin as a matrix was selected and Aluminum powder with micro particles as a reinforcement material was used with different volume fraction (2.5%, 5% and 7.5%). Hand lay-up process was used for preparation the composites. Fatigue test with constant amplitude with stress ratio (R =-1) was carried out before and after LSP process with two levels of energy (1Joule and 2Joule). The result showed an increase in the endurance strength of 25.448% at 7.5% volume fraction when peened is 1J laser energy. Also, the ultimate strength and Young’s modulus were increased by 6.474% and 10.588% respectively after LSP with the same laser energy.  On the other hand, composites with (2.5% and 5%) volume fraction manifested a reduction in the mechanical and fatigue strength especially when treated by 2J laser energy.
Free Vibration Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates with General Boundary Elastic Supports Under Initial Thermal Load
Authors: Hammed Mohammed B. , Majeed Widad I.
Published: December 2019

Free vibration behavior was developed under the ratio of critical buckling temperature of laminated composite thin plates with the general elastic boundary condition. The equations of motion were found based on classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) while the solution functions consists of trigonometric function and a continuous function that is added to guarantee the sufficient smoother of the so-named remaining displacement function at the boundaries, in this research, a modified Fourier series were used, a generalized procedure solution was developed using Ritz method combined with the imaginary spring technique. The influences of many design parameters such as angles of layers, aspect ratio, thickness ratio, and ratio of initial in- plane thermal load in addition to different boundary conditions on the natural frequencies of laminated plate is analyzed. In general, the changes of fundamental natural frequency is inversely proportional with the ratio of thermal buckling load, also most parameters aspect ratio effect on the natural frequency about 35 – 40%. The present results were compared with those obtained by other researchers, and show good agreement.
The Role of the “Path” and the “Container” Image Schemas in Political Discourse in Kenya
Authors: Otieno Dr. Raphael Francis
Published: December 2019

The study of conceptual interaction has attracted the attention of many scholars in Cognitive Linguistics. Primarily, the analysis has focused on the role of image-schemas in the construction of metaphors. This study explores the PATH and the CONTAINER image-schemas and the role they play in conceptual formation of metaphors in political discourse in Kenya. The study presents the PATH and its subsidiary image schemas of Verticality, Process and Force-Motion and the CONTAINER image-schema and the subsidiary image-schemas of Excess and In-Out. The analysis reveals that both the PATH and the CONTAINER image-schemas structure the relationship between the source domains (journey and container) and the target domain (politics) by activating subsidiary image-schemas in metaphors of politics in Kenya. The study further reveals that image-schemas provide the axiological value (positive or negative) of metaphorical expressions in political discourse. A positive political environment is a key ingredient for green growth and knowledge economy. The study contributes to the field of metaphor in political discourse by examining the politicians’ conceptualization of politics as a journey, which consists of four structural elements (a source, a destination, contiguous locations which connect the source and the destination and a direction) and as a container, which consists of an interior, an exterior and a boundary. The study used the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) as a tool to establish conceptual metaphors used during the 2005 Draft Constitution referendum campaigns in Kenya and the Image-Schema Theory to account for the presence of image-schemas in political discourse in Kenya. Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) Conceptual Metaphor Theory is the locus classicus of the image schema theory.

Authors: MANIMEKALAI P. , SHUKLA K. M. PREETU , SUDHAKAR P. , MURUGANANTHAN P. G.
Published: December 2019

Objective: The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of Phthalate analogues of diclofenac in Freund’s complete adjuvant (FCA) induced Arthritis in the rat.

Methods: Twenty four female albino wistar rats were enrolled in this study and are divided into 4 groups (six each). The groups were designed as follows: Group I: vehicle control, Group II: arthritic control, Group III: diclofenac treated, Group IV: phthalate analogue of diclofenac treated. Various assessments such as anti-arthritic activity, biochemical estimations, haematological parameters, ulcerogenesis, radiological and histopathological studies were evaluated.

Results: Arthritic control group exhibited significant increase in the level of paw volume, arthritic score (p<0.0001), Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) (p<0.001), Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) p<0.01), rheumatoid arthritis factor, C-reactive protein (CRP), White Blood Cells (WBC), Creatinine and uric acid and a significant decrease in Red Blood Cells (RBC). Increased swelling of joints, bony destruction and profound ulceration were observed in the Arthritic control group. All these conditions were reversed in diclofenac and phthalate analogue of diclofenac groups.

Conclusion: We conclude that phthalate analogue of diclofenac shows potent anti-arthritic activity with milder ulceration when compared to diclofenac treatment.
Does evidence matter? Comparative effectiveness research and prescribing of Type 2 diabetes mellitus drugs
Authors: Arora Prachi , Look Kevin A , Kreling David H
Published: December 2019

Aim:
Comparative effectiveness research (CER) can help ascertain value of new drugs; however, limited research assesses the translation of CER into clinical practice. The objective of this study was to analyze the association between CER evidence and prescribing trends within two markets of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis to determine the prescribing trends from 2006 to 2016 and an electronic literature search to identify CER comparing different drugs was conducted.
Results:
In glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists market, CER showed superiority of Liraglutide. Prescribing of Exenatide twice daily dropped by 50% points as Liraglutide entered the market. In dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors market, CER did not suggest conclusive superiority. Nevertheless, Sitagliptin, the first entrant, continued to dominate throughout.
Conclusion:
CER evidence appeared to be associated with prescribing trends in GLP-1 agonists market; however, no associations were found in DPP4 inhibitors market. The translation of evidence into practice can be limited by the availability of superiority trials and timing of their availability.
La imagen inestable de Manuel Lozada. Entre la historia política y la política de la historia
Authors: Lira Larios Regina
Published: December 2019

Manuel Lozada, jefe militar de “las fuerzas de los Pueblos Unidos del Nayarit” que entre 1858 y 1873 mantuvo una autonomía de facto sobre el territorio que se convertiría en el estado de Nayarit, ha sido representado de diversas maneras según las generaciones de historiadores, intelectuales y antropólogos que se han interesado en su estudio, ya sea como el Tigre de Álica, indio precursor del agrarismo, bandolero social mestizo y católico, líder del conservadurismo popular o como un Cristo transgresor, según la perspectiva indígena. Con base en una revisión de las obras y registros más representativos en la construcción y transmisión de su memoria —que es al mismo tiempo un recorrido por los enfoques y modelos teóricos con los que los actores del medio rural del México decimonónico han sido abordados en los últimos 150 años— destacaremos dos aspectos. El primero, que el conocimiento histórico sobre este personaje se ha desenvuelto en la articulación diversa y cambiante entre historia y política; y el segundo, que dichas representaciones ponen en evidencia modos de relación con el sector al que es asociado, que ha sido de tipo excluyente, de asimilación y paradójico. Proponemos que éstas se sostienen hasta el presente y hacen de su imagen una figura inestable.

Juan B. Lagarde y la policía secreta de la ciudad de México, 1858-1860
Authors: Rodríguez Baca Emmanuel
Published: December 2019

El presente artículo analiza el papel de Juan B. Lagarde como jefe de la policía secreta de la ciudad de México durante la guerra civil de Reforma (1858-1860), la importancia de ésta como parte de los cuerpos de control y seguridad que establecieron los gobiernos conservadores de los generales Félix Zuloaga (1858) y Miguel Miramón (1859-1860) para vigilar, perseguir y encarcelar a las personas consideradas como sediciosas y enemigas de sus administraciones.Se destacan los excesos y la eficaz labor de dicho personaje para contrarrestar a los agentes del gobierno constitucional que, durante los tres años del conflicto, conspiraron y trabajaron para promover insurrecciones y la ocupación de la capital por el ejército liberal. Temido, odiado y respetado por la población y por sus adversarios políticos, Juan Lagarde cumplió con la misión que el régimen que emanó del Plan de Tacubaya de 1857 le encomendó.
Sin medios de negociación. Las insurrecciones de indios en Sonora, 1855-1859
Authors: García Rivera Edna Lucía
Published: December 2019

El presente trabajo explica las insurrecciones de indios de 1855 a 1859, a través del marco teórico de la subalternidad centrando la atención en los intentos previos de negociación, intereses particulares que remitían a intereses grupales, conciencia reflexiva al interior de los grupos, así como un proceso de subalternización por parte del Estado a través de legislaciones especiales. Para lo anterior se retoman las propuestas de Ranahit Guha, Robert Fletcher y Salomón Tarquini. Mediante la correspondencia de tenientes indígenas de los pueblos ópatas y de reportes de la sociedad mestiza, se encuentra que ciertos grupos ópatas y yaquis utilizaron la insurrección como una forma de participar políticamente y recuperar los cargos militares indígenas de capitanes generales. A partir de lo anterior, existió una conciencia al interior, misma que no era producto de insurrecciones espontáneas, sino de intentos previos de negociación e insurrección cuando no existía el pacto. Un ejemplo de lo anterior fue la contraposición a las políticas provenientes de Ignacio Pesqueira por parte de las gavillas de indios, que ejecutarán su acción buscando destituirlo del gobierno en apoyo a Manuel María Gándara.
Perempuan dalam Prostitusi: Konstruksi Pelindungan Hukum Terhadap Perempuan Indonesia dari Perspektif Yuridis dan Viktimologi (Women in prostitution: Construction of Legal Protection Towards Indonesian Women from a Juridical and Victimitarian Perspective)
Authors: Fajrin Yaris Adhial , Triwijaya Ach Faisol
Published: December 2019

The practice of prostitution involving women as the main perpetrator creates a negative stigma that sees women as guilty persons. Even though there are also women who are involved in the practice of prostitution due tocoercion. This condition creates a bias towards the position of the victim in the practice of prostitution. This paper is to examine the involvement of women in the practice of prostitution while also recognizing the position of women that are involved in the practice of prostitution. This research uses the normative juridical research method. Women in the prostitution network can be identified as victims due to both internal and external pressure.Women are perpetrators if involved without any pressure from other parties. Women are victims if they act as service providers, suffered, because of force by power from others, besides the relative requirements of women as victims of prostitution when involved in the practice of prostitution because they have been victims of sexual violence and make prostitution as livelihoods. Thus, it is hoped that legislators will soon be able to formulate limits on victims in the context of legal reform and just law enforcement. AbstrakPraktik prostitusi yang melibatkan perempuan sebagai aktor utama menimbulkan stigma negatif yang memandang perempuan sebagai insan yang bersalah. Padahal adapula perempuan yang terlibat dalam praktik prostitusi diakibatkan keterpaksaaan. Kondisi ini menimbulkan bias terhadap kedudukan korban dalam praktik prostitusi. Tulisan ini untuk mengkaji keterlibatan perempuan dalam praktik prostitusi sekaligus mengetahui kedudukan perempuan yang terlibat dalam praktik prostitusi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif. Perempuan dalam jaringan prostitusi dapat teridentifikasi sebagai korban akibat tekanan internal maupun eksternalnya. Perempuan sebagai pelaku apabila terlibat tanpa tekanan dari pihak di luar dirinya. Perempuan sebagai korban apabila bertindak sebagai pemberi jasa, menderita, karena dan daya paksa dari orang lain, selain itu syarat relatif perempuan sebagai korban dalam prostitusi manakala terlibat dalam praktik prostitusi karena pernah menjadi korban kekerasan seksual dan prostitusi sebagai mata pencaharian. Diharapkan pembentuk undang-undang segera mungkin untuk merumuskan mengenai batasan korban dalam rangka pembaharuan hukum dan penegakan hukum yang berkeadilan.

Qubitization of Arbitrary Basis Quantum Chemistry Leveraging Sparsity and Low Rank Factorization
Authors: Berry Dominic W. , Gidney Craig , Motta Mario , McClean Jarrod R. , Babbush Ryan
Published: December 2019

Recent work has dramatically reduced the gate complexity required to quantum simulate chemistry by using linear combinations of unitaries based methods to exploit structure in the plane wave basis Coulomb operator. Here, we show that one can achieve similar scaling even for arbitrary basis sets (which can be hundreds of times more compact than plane waves) by using qubitized quantum walks in a fashion that takes advantage of structure in the Coulomb operator, either by directly exploiting sparseness, or via a low rank tensor factorization. We provide circuits for several variants of our algorithm (which all improve over the scaling of prior methods) including one with O~(N3/2λ) T complexity, where N is number of orbitals and λ is the 1-norm of the chemistry Hamiltonian. We deploy our algorithms to simulate the FeMoco molecule (relevant to Nitrogen fixation) and obtain circuits requiring about seven hundred times less surface code spacetime volume than prior quantum algorithms for this system, despite us using a larger and more accurate active space.

BOARD GENDER DIVERSITY AND ITS IMPACT ON FIRM VALUE AND FINANCIAL RISK
Authors: Panjaitan Yunia
Published: December 2019

One of the things that can be done to maximize firm value is by having a board of directors with diverse characteristics. Gender diversity in the firm’s board of directors can bring a positive impact to the firm. Females are generally more risk-averse than males, and this could lead to a lower risk that must be borne by the firm. This study is conducted to investigate the impact of Board Gender Diversity to firm’s value and financial risk. Using 51 manufacturing companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange from year 2016 to 2017, data was analyzed with the multiple linear regression model for panel data. The findings suggest that the presence of female directors has a positive and significant effect to firm’s value, and a negative but not significant effect to firm’s financial risk
Pembentuk Word of Mouth pada Perusahaan Penerbangan Bertarif Murah di Indonesia
Authors: Soelasih Yasintha , Sumani Sumani
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating effect of passenger satisfaction on service quality, fares and word of mouth on low-cost flights in Indonesia. The theory of this study is derived into the research model with the instruments used in compiling the questionnaire for primary data collection. Samples taken as many as 248 with the criteria samples have used low-cost flights in Indonesia. Sampling was conducted at Soekarno Hatta Cengkareng Airport, Indonesia with purposive sampling at three low-cost airlines. Instrument testing is done using reliability and validity test. For reliability, it uses Cronbach's alpha while for validity it uses confirmatory factor analysis. In the hypothesis test used SEM with Lisrel. Service quality has a direct and indirect effect on word of mouth. While the tariff does not have a direct or indirect effect on word of mouth. Passenger satisfaction as mediation variable is important in forming word of mouth, compared without the mediation variable. Passengers still measure the quality of service received with perceived satisfaction. Therefore airlines with low-cost airlines still need to pay attention to passenger satisfaction, not just at relatively cheap fares. ABSTRAK: Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengkaji pengaruh mediasi kepuasan penumpang terhadap kualitas pelayanan, tarif dan wouth of mouth pada penerbangan bertarif murah di Indonesia. Kajian teori yang diturunkan kedalam model penelitian dengan instrument yang digunakan dalam menyusun kuesioner untuk pengambilan data primer. Sampel yang terambil sebanyak 248 dengan kriteria sudah pernah menggunakan penerbangan bertarif murah di Indonesia. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan di Bandara Soekarno Hatta Cengkareng, Indonesia dengan purposive sampling pada tiga perusahaan penerbangan bertarif murah. Dilakukan uji instrument dengan menggunakan reliabilitas dan validitas. Untuk reliabilitas maka menggunakan cronbach’s alpha sedangkan untuk validitas menggunakan confirmatory factor analysis. Pada uji hipotesis digunakan SEM dengan Lisrel. Kualitas pelayanan mempunyai pengaruh baik langsung maupun tidak langsung terhadap word of mouth. Sedangkan tariff tidak mempunyai pengaruh baik langsung maupun tidak langsung terhadap word of mouth. Variabel mediasi kepuasan penumpang penting dalam membentuk word of mouth, dibandingkan tanpa adanya variable mediasi. Penumpang tetap mengukur kualitas pelayanan yang diterima dengan kepuasan yang dirasakan. Oleh karena itu perusahaan penerbangan dengan konsep penerbangan bertarif murah tetap perlu memperhatikan kepuasan penumpang, bukan hanya pada tarif yang relative murah.

Published: December 2019

Este estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de identificar os fatores que influenciam as decisões de contratação de empréstimos para realizar investimentos em micro e pequenas empresas (MPE), e se este tipo de decisão tem uma relação com um tipo de cultura organizacional empreendedora característico dessa modalidade de empresas. A pesquisa foi feita com 45 MPE constantes no cadastro de clientes de uma instituição financeira de grande porte. Os dados foram coletados com a aplicação de um formulário estruturado, em entrevistas presenciais com os proprietários das empresas. Os resultados mostraram que o principal fator limitante do uso de crédito pelas MPE, para investimentos, são as elevadas taxas de juros praticadas no Brasil. Também mostraram que não há um tipo de cultura organizacional empreendedora que caracterize as MPE e tampouco que caracterize o grupo de MPE que se endividam para investir e as que não o fazem.

AS TEORIAS COMPORTAMENTAIS E ECONÔMICAS NAS ESTRATÉGIAS DE INTERNACIONALIZAÇÃO DE EMPRESAS
Authors: Picchiai Djair , Teixeira Moacir José
Published: December 2019

As teorias de internacionalização procuram explicar as formas adotadas pelas empresas para a inserção no mercado internacional, baseadas em fatores econômicos e comportamentais. Este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar comparativamente as teorias de internacionalização com estratégias utilizadas por empresas brasileiras nos últimos anos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, na qual foram utilizados dados dos estudos sobre as multinacionais brasileiras, elaborados e publicados pela Fundação Dom Cabral, nos anos de 2016, 2017 e 2018. Constatou-se que o processo de internacionalização não pode ser explicado por uma única teoria, já que é possível identificar elementos presentes em várias delas, sejam de abordagem comportamental ou econômica (TEIXEIRA et al., 2017). Além disso, as mudanças no mercado mundial pressionam os gestores das empresas a tomar decisões com maior rapidez e com foco na internacionalização das empresas.

Published: December 2019

Geleneksel
yerleşimlere bakıldığında, insanların yaşadıkları yörenin, ağırlıklı olarak
doğal faktörler ile biçimlenmesiyle oluştuğu görülmektedir. Geleneksel yerleşimlerin
oluşumunda farklı bölgelerde yaşayan ve kendi kültürlerini oluşturmuş
toplumların dini, felsefi, politik çeşitlilikleri ile doğal kaynakları sanat ve
ideolojiyle buluşturması da bir diğer önemli etmenlerdir. İran bahçe ve
mimarisinin gelişimini, bu bahçe sanatının İslami düşüncenin özünden çıktığı da
göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, yaşam için arzu edilen ideal şartların, cenneti
ve ebediyeti temsil eden mekanların bir aynası olduğu görülebilmektedir. Fakat
tarihi süreç içerisinde, etkilendikleri akımlarla beraber coğrafi bölge
özelliklerinin farklılıkları kentsel dokudan, bahçe planlarına ve bina ölçeğine
kadar değişimlere neden olmuştur.

Bu araştırmada
İran’ın tarihi gelişim süreci içerisinde mimari yapı ve çevresinin doğal
faktörlere göre bahçe ve mimari üsluplardaki gelişim ve değişim tipolojileri
analiz edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, İran geleneksel bahçeleri ve mimari yapıları içinde
bulunduğu coğrafyanın kendine has koşullarının değerlendirilerek oluşturulduğu
görülmektedir. İran bahçelerinde bahçenin tüm unsurları, bitkisel alanlarla
uygun bir bağlam sağlamak için birlikte çalışmaktadırlar. Bahçede yer alan ağaç
ve çiçekli bitkilerin, tasarımcının tasarladığıfonksiyonel
alanlarınparalelindeyer aldığı ve su ögesinden sonra, ağaçlar bahçede anlamlar
ve semiyoloji açısından ikinci en önemli rolü taşımaktadır. İran’da doğallığın
öncelikli olduğu tasarımların yapılması, yapılan mimari tasarımın bir üslup
olarak gelenekselleşmesine olanak tanımıştır.

Lahiri’s Interpreter of Maladies the Birth of an Authentic Indian Diasporic Icon
Authors: Choudaraju Dr. Neelima
Published: December 2019

The South Asian diaspora has been in motion for centuries, far before large parts of the region came under the rule of the British East India Company, and later the Crown itself. Within nations themselves, race, class, gender, sexual orientation, physical features, and religion, among many other things, work to shape unique experience. Any notion of South Asian, or even Indian, “authenticity” is fraught from the start. Authenticity is contextually specific in practice, and yet theorized in broad terms. Identity is overwhelmingly intersectional, and so any notion of essentialism, while an interesting thought experiment, is largely useless and untrue to human experience. Familiarized authenticity sells; radical and nuanced authenticity is a risk. It is essential then to consider the modes of canonization, and how and why certain authors are given the powerful title of “authentically South Asian.” As such Lahiri’s success is dependent on her work and her image remaining universal enough that innumerable versions of authenticity may be placed upon her. This paper explores why she functions as a fruitful case study for the construction of Indian diasporic authenticity by looking at her biography, and prolific career. It also provides an alternate analysis of agency she and her agent have in this situation by considering the para text of her novel Interpreter of Maladies.

Learner differences in learning language skills differ from one individual to another. Different learning styles (LS) of the learners give the facilitator a tough challenge to meet the expectations of the learners. Coming to Engineering professionals it is known that the learners give priority to the core subjects and a little effort for the language skill. Therefore, it is a challenging task for the language teachers to grab learners’ attention and make learning effective. This paper attempts to explore strategies to overcome the challenges of the language teachers. It specifically looks at the Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic (VAK) model based tasks as an effective strategy in motivating learners to develop their speaking skills regardless of the learners inattentive behaviors. VAK provides a varied range of tasks in the language class which enable the learners to focus in the tasks and increase their participation in the classroom.
