Naturaleza de la innovación y modelo de negocios en el emprendimiento innovador
Authors: Martínez Velázquez Nayeli , Dutrénit Bielous Gabriela
Published: January 2020

En el presente artículo se analiza la naturaleza de las innovaciones creadas por emprendimientos sociales innovadores, al tiempo que se discute su relación con el modelo de negocios. Todo ello a partir de un estudio de casos exploratorio, cuya evidencia fue procesada con el software ATLAS.ti y estilizada en redes Semánticas. Los casos sugieren que dicha naturaleza, diferenciada en basada y no basada en tecnología, no sólo está asociada al modelo de negocios, sino a elementos específicos del emprendedor y del contexto/ecosistema de operación. De esta manera, se encontró que las innovaciones no basadas en tecnología permiten una elevada inclusión social, un empoderamiento y una construcción de capacidades de la población.
Jizya as a Post-Prophetic Institution: Hadithological Analysis of the Traditions of the Contract with the Christians of Najran
Authors: Ibrahim T. K.
Published: January 2020

The article is the first part of a study of the factual validity of the doctrine of jizya, which is dominant in traditional political theology, as a tribute from Non-Muslims, established by the Prophet Muhammad. Challenging the authenticity of the traditions underlying this teaching, the author begins by discussing the main paradigmatic precedent — the agreement of the Prophet with the Christians of the city of Najran. This part is devoted to the analysis of relevant traditions in the light of the classical formal hadithological methodology, which focuses on the degree of reliability of isnad (chain of transmitters); the content of these traditions will be the subject of the next part. The study is conducted in line with the Reformist Modernist discourse, focusing on the disclosure of the truly humanistic spirit of prophetic Islam and the pacifist-pluralistic attitude of the Qur’anic message.

Studi Hukum Pidana Islam dan Hukum Pidana Positif tentang Sanksi Pidana bagi Pelaku Pembantu Tindak Pidana Pembunuhan
Authors: Umar Mukhsin Nyak , Zias Zara
Published: January 2020

Dalam penetapan sanksi hukuman terhadap sekelompok orang yang telah melakukan pembunuhan terhadap satu orang saja, disyaratkan agar semua yang dilakukan oleh pelaku itu bisa mengakibatkan seseorang terbunuh. Tetapi dalam menentukan sanksi hukuman bagi salah satu pelaku pembunuhan yaitu pelaku pembantu sangatlah sulit apabila tidak melihat dari bentuk-bentuk pembantuan yang dilakukan oleh pelaku pembantu.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari jawaban dari permasalahan bagaimana pertanggungjawan dan sanksi pidana bagi pelaku pembantu tindak pidana pembunuhan serta aspek positif dan negatif dari pertanggungjawaban pidananya. Untuk memperoleh jawaban tersebut peneliti menggunakan data primer dan data sekunder. Kedua data tersebut dianalisis dengan metode deskriptif analisis komparatif. Berdasarkan metode pengumpulan data ini, maka penelitian ini dikategorikan sebagai penelitian kepustakaan (library research). Menurut hukum pidana Islam adalah turut serta secara tidak langsung (al-isytaraku bittasabbubi) merupakansuatuperbuatanyangmelawan hukum dan harus dipertanggungjawabkan demi kemaslahatan manusia. Sanksi hukum terhadap pelaku pembantu tindak pidana pembunuhan, menurut hukum pidana Islam adalah hukuman taâ€™zir hal ini berdasarkan pendapat ulama Al-Hadawiyah, ulama Hanafiyah, dan ulama Syafiâ€˜iyah. Sedangkan Menurut Imam Malik, setiap orang yang hadir dianggap membantu, meskipun tidak langsung dan diancam dengan hukuman qishash. Sedangkan orang yang tidak hadir meskipun ia membantu terjadinya pembunuhan ia hanya dikenai sanksi taâ€™zir. Menurut hukum positif pembantu (medeplichtige) ialah barangsiapa yang dengan sengaja memberikan bantuan pada saat kejahatan diwujudkan oleh pembuat baik berupa kesempatan daya upaya (sarana) atau keterangan kepada pembuat untuk mewujudkan kejahatan pembunuhan.Sedangkan sanksi hukum menurut hukum pidana positif bagi pelaku pembantuan pembunuhan dapat dikenakan hukuman penjara yang dikurangi sepertiga dari pidana pokok maksimum. Dalam menentukan pidana bagi pelaku pembantu, yang diperhitungkan hanya perbuatan yang sengaja dipermudah atau diperlancar olehnya, beserta akibat-akibatnya.

Zheng He Remains in Africa
Authors: Chan Ying-Kit
Published: January 2020

In recent years, China has sought to extend its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) from Central Asia and Southeast Asia to Africa. This article argues that Chinese officials, aided by Chinese maritime archaeologists, journalists and researchers, have used discourses of heritage and history as a form of soft padding to justify China's infrastructure projects in Africa. Zheng He, a Ming dynasty admiral, who had allegedly visited East Africa in four of his seven famous voyages across the Indian Ocean, is particularly important in China's narrative of its historical relations with Africa. The details of Zheng He's engagement with Africa remain contested by historians, especially those in Western academia. The Chinese government thus supports 'sub-initiatives' of heritage and history construction, namely maritime archaeology, travel journalism and student fellowships, to substantiate the legacy of Zheng He in Africa. By suggesting that China and Africa also share the legacy of having been exploited, humiliated and victimized by European colonial powers, Chinese intellectuals have fashioned the BRI into an anti-imperialist discourse for acceptance by their African counterparts.
Indigenous Knowledge in Disaster Risk Reduction
Authors: REYES JOSEPH , AYO KISS , BALUYAN MARIA , BALAGUER ALAN
Published: January 2020

The importance of indigenous knowledge in reducing risk from disasters and natural calamities has been widely discussed in the social sciences by scholars arguing for integrative frameworks and participatory processes. This type of knowledge is vital for archipelagic developing countries, such as the Philippines, situated in a geographical area exposed to natural hazards. However, despite its potential contribution to disaster prevention, mitigation, response, rehabilitation and recovery, along with possible combination strategies with western scientific knowledge towards reducing vulnerability and disaster risk management, the literature on the integration of specific communities' indigenous knowledgebased disaster preparedness and adaptation is still limited. The novel contribution of this article is in the discussion of the unique indigenous knowledgeidentified in the cases of San Miguel Island, Camotes Island and Alabat Island, which is utilized even up to the present. Particularly, this study identifies substantial aspects of indigenous knowledge that contribute to disaster risk reduction in the three selected cases. Findings reveal myriad indigenous knowledge pertaining to intensity, height, direction and movement of ocean waves; intensity of winds; sudden surfacing of deep-sea creatures and unease of animals; different patterns of clouds, darkening of skies and foggy horizons, among others. In closely examining indigenous knowledge, this study sheds new light by providing meaningful insights for its contribution to disaster preparedness.
Compensation of internal auditors: Empirical evidence for different impact factors
Authors: Eulerich Marc , Mazza Tatiana , Behrend Joel , Krane Ronja
Published: January 2020

This paper examines the different factors which impact the compensation level of chief audit executives (CAE) and sheds light on often unobservable and, therefore, opaque drivers of CAE remuneration. An ordered logistic regression is used to analyze the effects of internal audit function (IAF) competences, stakeholder relationships, and firm complexity on the CAE compensation using survey data from 212 CAEs from a broad spectrum of companies and industries. The results of the study identify IAF competence and independence as fundamental drivers of CAE compensation and provide evidence that firm complexity in terms of foreign sales, listing status and need for monitoring constitute additional salary determinants related to the IAF environment. Our results are based on questionnaire data and subject to a possible response bias as they rely in part on the participants’ assessment of a given situation. This paper provides a benchmark for CAE compensation levels in Austria, Germany and Switzerland and offers insights on different company and IAF inherent factors that can be associated with varying salary outcomes. This study is the first to investigate the factors driving the overall compensation level of CAEs and by providing empirical evidence regarding determinants of CAE compensation.

Variability of potassium concentration in the needles of Douglas-fir provenances
Authors: Lavadinovic Vera , Rakonjac Ljubinko , Djunisijevic-Bojovic Danijela , Miletic Zoran , Jovanovic Filip
Published: January 2020

Douglas-fir is one of the most common conifer species in the forest
plantations of Europe. The provenance test model is based on the analysis of
the properties (growth, anatomical, physiological, chemical, mechanical and
other properties) of Douglas-fir in order to justify the transfer of seeds
from North America to the ecosystems of Serbia. This type of program has
been implemented in Serbia on several locations using different Douglas-fir
provenances. Given that the analysis of different physiological properties
of trees is important for the introduction of specified provenances into
habitats in Serbia, in this paper the variability of potassium concentration
in young Douglas-fir needles of different provenances was examined in an
experimental field in Serbia. Potassium is very important in the
physiological processes of plants. It is an essential element involved in a
number of biochemical and physiological processes and plays a significant
role in the adaptation of plants on biotic and abiotic stress factors. The
highest potassium concentration was found in the ?Oregon 205-14? provenance
- the only provenance in which the potassium concentration was significantly
higher than the average value, so it can be characterized as a superior
provenance for the uptake and accumulation of this element. It was found
that, at this stage of development, the differences in the potassium
concentration in trees in the provenance test have no significant effect on
growth parameters. Further studies should show whether the concentration of
this biogenic element in any way affects other properties important for the
selection of provenances during the introduction process, such as resistance
to stress factors.
Effect of boron on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V produced by laser directed energy deposition after heat treatment
Authors: Xue Aitang , Wang Lilin , Lin Xin , Wang Jian , Chen Jing , Huang Weidong
Published: January 2020

The nearly rapid solidification and high-temperature thermal cycles associated with laser directed energy deposition of titanium alloys using laser solid forming (LSF) lead to the formation of coarse prior β columnar grains and continuous coarse-grain-boundary α (αGB) phases, which result in anisotropic properties and poor ductility. The influence mechanisms of trace B (up to 0.3 wt. %) on the solidification, solid state transformation, and tensile properties of LSFed Ti-6Al-4V after solution and aging treatment were studied using thermodynamic calculations. With an increase in B content, the size of prior β grains decreased owing to the growth-restricting effect it caused during the solidification and the Zener pinning caused by TiB during reheat cycles and heat treatments. The continuous coarse αGB phases were almost eliminated owing to the discontinuous distribution of TiB between the dendrites, and the length and aspect ratio of intragranular α phases were gradually reduced. Moreover, both ultimate tensile strength and yield strength increased, fracture elongation decreased, strength anisotropy decreased, and elongation anisotropy initially increased and then decreased significantly. The findings in this study will promote the development of new Ti alloys befitting additive manufacturing technology.
Enhanced hardness and moderate thermal conductivity of Cu-2.4Ni-0.7Si alloy processed via selective laser melting followed by suitable heat treatment
Authors: Zhou Yan , Chen Daobing , Duan Longchen , Gan Jie , Wen Shifeng
Published: January 2020

The crystallographic texture, thermal conductivity, and microhardness of the Cu-2.4Ni-0.7Si alloy processed by selective laser melting (SLM) were investigated. The SLM sample shows columnar grains with stronger (100) preferred orientation, and the content of high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) is 64.6%. It owns the lower microhardness of 89.73 Hv and the higher thermal conductivity of 187.83 W/m K. After heat treatment for 12 and 25 h, the microstructure of the samples changes from the coarser columnar grains to the smaller equiaxedlike grains with the HAGBs of 59.6% and 61.8%, which show (100), (101), and (111) orientations equally then exhibit stronger (101) and (111) preferred orientation. Moreover, the precipitates vary from Ni3Si with a size of 0.5 μm to Ni2Si with a size of 1 μm, hence resulting in higher microhardness of 180.02 and 170.03 Hv. Due to the precipitates, lower texture index and HAGBs’ content that generate the more grain boundary scattering for electron and phonon transport lead to lower thermal conductivity of 161.57 and 177.83 W/m K. This study suggests that thermal conductivity and microhardness of the SLM Cu-Ni-Si alloy can be tailored by controlling suitable heat treatment condition.

Published: January 2020

Total knee arthroplasty is an effective treatment for most types of arthritis of the knee and requires little of the joint’s anatomy to be intact for a successful outcome. On the other hand, unicompartmental arthroplasty can only succeed if the rest of the knee is functionally intact before surgery. We will discuss, first, the pathology of osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee and then how to ascertain, before operating, that the ligaments are all functionally normal and the retained articular surfaces capable of resuming their weight-bearing role.

In this chapter we describe the common modes of failure of the OUKA and suggest ways of dealing with them. We also discuss why they occur and how they can be prevented. Complications occur more commonly in the hands of learners than in those of the experienced surgeons whose reports are published in the literature. As a result, the incidence of complications is lower in published cohort series compared to national registers.
On joint efficiency of composite anisotropic plate rigidly fixed along outside edges
Authors: Akopyan A. G.
Published: January 2020

Introduction. Modern processes of welding, surfacing, soldering and bonding provide producing structural elements of monolithic interconnected dissimilar anisotropic materials. The combination of different materials with qualities corresponding to certain operating conditions offer comprehensive facilities to improve the technical and economic characteristics of machines, equipment and structures. It can contribute to a significant increase in their reliability, durability, and to reduction of the production and operation costs. 

Materials and Methods. The work objective is to study the boundary state of stress of anisotropic composite plates in the framework of the classical theory of plate bending. The outer edges of the plate are considered free. Using the classical theory of bending of an anisotropic plate in the space of physical and geometric parameters, hypersurface equations are obtained that define low-stressed zones for the contact surface edge of a cylindrical orthotropic composite plate.

Research Results. Finding the criteria for engineering structures to determine the limiting strength characteristics of structural elements is one of the urgent tasks of the deformable solid mechanics. Strength problems in structures are often reduced to elucidating the nature of the local stress state at the tops of the joints of the constituent parts. This paper is devoted to solving this problem for composite anisotropic plates in the area of their bending.

Discussion and Conclusions. The solution proposed in this paper may be useful for increasing the strength of composite products.
Seroprevalence of Cytomegalovirus among Blood Donor in Transfusion Medicine: Study from Bangladesh
Authors: Islam Shaheen Dr. Sheikh Saiful , Hoque Dr. Md. Ashraful , Ferdous Dr. Jannatul
Published: January 2020

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a matter for concern among blood bank professionals and blood transfusion recipient, especially in cases of transfusion to neonates and immunocompromised patients.

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the seroprevalence of cytomegalovirus with the purpose of determining routine CMV screening for donors.

Method: A descriptive cross sectional study was carried out in the Department of Transfusion Medicine in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University from January 2017 to December 2017. A total of 150 blood donors were selected by convenient sampling technique.

Result: The seroprevalence of cytomegalovirus is 91% for IgG and 4% for IgM. Association was found in between IgG and age,sex.In case of age anti-CMV-IgG,c2= 26.5, t = 9.49; c2> t (Association Exists),for sex anti-CMV-IgG: df = 1, CI = 95%, c2= 17.8, t = 3.84; c2> t (Association Exists)Anti-CMV-IgM: df = 1, CI = 95%, c2= 10.7, t = 3.84; c2> t (Association Exist). This study was undertaken to find out seroprevalence of Cytomegalovirus among blood donors in the department of transfusion medicine. The incidence of cytomegalovirus is 91.3% for IgG and 4% for IgM. Most of the IgG positive subjects were in 38-47 years and for IgM were in 28-37 years. It was observed that seroprevalence of CMV was more in female (94.9% in case of IgG& 6.8% in IgM). It was observed that the highest prevalence of IgG was 3out of 3 (100%)in illiterate and that of IgM was 1 out of 3(33.33%) in illiterate level of education. In conclusion it was found that seroprevalence of cytomegalovirus was 91.3% for IgG and 4% for IgM. Association was found in between IgG & age, sex.

Conclusion: Prospective blood donors should be screened for CMV most especially for immunocompromised recipients. Leucoreduced blood products from CMV seronegative donors should be given to preterm neonates, infants as this will prevent transfusion associated perinatal CMV disease. There should be more campaign and awareness on provision of voluntary blood donation for CMV negative blood. Program should be made to create awareness in the community on the significant impact of CMV infection on health.
Social Realism in Mahasweta Devi’s Mother of 1084
Authors: Lakhera Manita
Published: January 2020

“Life is not arithmetic, and man is not made for the game of politics. For me, all political programmes and creeds should aim at the realization of the claims of man to survival and justice. I desire a transformation of the present social system” (Devi, Agnigarbha 8).
Mahasweta Devi deafeningly explains that life is not the calculation in number or any game, it is larger than we expect and richer than we imagine. Generally considered the voice of marginalisedand downtrodden, she adamantly wanted to change the face of society making the existence of everyone in society equal. Everyone gets life the same way but they are born in society which becomes their fate. God makes everyone the same and we humans differentiate in the name of class, religion and economy. Devi advocates the transformation of existing laws and social systems that are not able to complete their duties and responsibilities towards common and marginalised people; they are surrounded merely by the toadies in the hands of a few powerful capitalists.She wrote for eighteen hours a day during the peak period of her career and gave a light to the nation about the plight of the people suffering under the democratic-masked authoritarian government. Devi, according to Samik Bandyopahyay, locates and unfolds “illegitimacy . . . spread throughout society, in the administration, in the cultural-intellectual establishment, in politics, in the existence of a whole antisocial fringe of killers prepared to serve the interests of any organized political force anywhere between the extremes of the Right and those of the Left” (Mother of 1084 viii).She worked for the rights and empowerment of the tribal people (Lodha and Shabar) of West Bengal, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh states. She is praised for her vibrant tolerance to oppose the powerful rule that is mostly feared by majority of the male writers of the period. She became the light house of the scattered thoughts of the tribes and the outcome of the situation came to be known as Naxalites. Mahasweta Devi exposes the feudal system which is anti-tribal, anti-women, anti-poor and anti-tiller.
Known as the voice of tribes, her novel Mother of 1084 is somewhat different, as in this novel, she not only talks about the plight of the proletariats but also covers so many social issues concerned with so called upper-class society which are unknown to common people. The present study aims at exploring all the social issues raised by the author in the novel Mother of 1084.
“...Friend of My Youth”: Image of a Dog in the Lyrics of S. A. Yesenin
Authors: Pyatkin S. N.
Published: January 2020

The article examines the artistic and functional status of the image of a dog’s motive in Yesenin’s lyrics in the context of the idea of an organic unity of art and life, which largely determines the poet’s creative philosophy. Three poems are considered in which the image of a dog is the central figure of the text and the constructive basis of its ideological and artistic content: “Song of the Dog” (1915), “Son of a Bitch” (1924), and “Kachalov’s Dog” (1925). The analysis of the subject-figurative structure of each of the poems is carried out, while they selectively comment on individual elements of the poetics of the text, which contributes to a detailed understanding of the role of the studied image. In the analysis of “Songs about a Dog”, attention is drawn to the peculiarities of interaction in the text of image and expression plans, cinematography as the main extra-subjective form of author’s consciousness in the poem, and also to the functional heterogeneity of the lyrical narrative. When considering the work “Son of a bitch”, the emphasis is on the specifics of the space-time structure of the text, namely on the special movement of time initiated by the subject of speech - from an uncertain future to a certain past. When studying the poem “The Dog of Kachalov”, attention is focused on the distinctive features of his genre solution, which is characterized by a synthesis of various genre elements of lyrics: dedication, message, elegy, confession. It is argued that in all three poems the image of a dog serves as a mediator (guide), the semantic variations of which depend on the poetic context and come from the ontological relationship of the world of everyday ideas and the world of spiritual revelations of a person, which determines the main content of Yesenin's artistic philosophy.
The effects of positive psychological capital, learning goal orientation, articulating a vision on affective commitment to organizational change
Authors: Jang Jiseon , Tak JinKook
Published: January 2020

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of positive psychological capital, learning goal orientation, and articulating a vision on affective commitment to organizational change. and the moderating effects of benefits of change and organizational cynicism on the relationships between these three variables and commitment of organizational change. Data were collected form 320 employees that have undergone organizational change during recent 1 year. After elimination of inadequate data, 297 data were obtained for statistical analysis. The results of hierarchial regression analyses showed that positive psychological capital and learning goal orientation positively predicted commitment to organizational change. Contrary to hypothesis, however, articulating a vision was negatively related to commitment to organizational change. Also the results of hierarchical regression analyses showed that benefits of change and organization cynicism moderated the relationship between positive psychological capital and affective organizational change commitment. Relationships between leaning goal orientation and affective organizational change commitment are moderated by benefits of change and organizational cynism. Contrary to hypotheses, however, when benefits of change is low and organizational cynicism is high, the relationships were stronger. Finally, implications and limitations of this study and the directions for future research were discussed on the basis of the results.

Published: January 2020

This research is a correlational study with two variables – variable X standing for vocabulary mastery and variable Y standing for reading comprehension. There were three research questions: (1) What is the level of correlation between variable X and variable Y?; (2) How significant is the contribution that can be given by variable X toward variable Y?; and (3) Is there positive correlation between variable X and variable Y? The sample of this research was fifty students of the first semester at Economic Faculty of Alkhairaat University. The instruments were tests and questionnaire. Through tests, it was found that: (1) The level of correlation between variable X and variable Y was strong; (2) The significant contribution given by variable X toward variable Y was 52.8%, meaning variable X gave much contribution to variable Y; and (3) There was positive correlation between variable X and variable Y since the value of r-counted (0.727) was higher than the value of r-table (0.279). Through questionnaire, 46% respondents agreed that vocabulary took a role in helping them to comprehend English texts, meaning the more vocabulary they have, the better they are in comprehending English texts.
THE EMPOWERMENT OF COMMUNITY ECONOMY THROUGH ZAKAT FUNDS (The Analysis on Zakat Fund Management in the National Amil Zakat Agency [BAZNAS], Papua Province)
Authors: Yaqin Husnul
Published: January 2020

Zakat is one of the pillars of Islam that is required of all Muslims whose wealth has reached Nisab. The collection of BAZNAS zakat funds in Papua province through several stages, namely through socialization to several institutions both public and private and initially originated from UPZ funds in the Jayapura region. Based on the recapitulation of zakat funds in Papua province through BAZNAS in 2018 amounting to Rp. 963,858,000. The distribution of zakat funds carried out by BAZNAS in Papua province is not only a consumptive way but also in a productive way, this is an effective way for community economic empowerment such as assistance distributed to 5 Papuan Muslims, assistance through BKMT, zakat fostered villages (Ambon and Dobonsolo villages) and empowerment of spinach farmers in Mappi district. In addition to the economic empowerment of the people through zakat there is also the provision of scholarship assistance ranging from elementary, junior high, high school and university, in 2018 a number of 23 people have received scholarship assistance through zakat funds. According to the analysis of researchers that the recapitulation of zakat funds shows that between the receipt of Rp. 963,858,000 and expenditure or distribution of Rp. 438,811,500 were unbalanced, so the discovery by the audit team occurred because the distribution was less than 70%.
(Des)envolvimento regional, fronteira e o espaço do agronegócio no Tocantins
Authors: Santos Roberto Souza
Published: January 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é demonstrar e analisar os indicadores sociais dos municípios tocantinenses de Campos Lindos, Formoso do Araguaia, Lagoa da Confusão, Pedro Afonso e Porto Nacional no período de 1991 a 2010 onde atua o agronegócio. O que se percebe é que os índices de qualidade de vida social dos municípios analisados não correspondem aos índices recomendados pela Organização das Nações Unidas. A elaboração do texto baseou-se em uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o debate teórico a respeito da relação entre a atividade econômica do agronegócio e as condições sociais da população local. Os procedimentos metodológicos basearam-se no método qualitativo. Tais procedimentos foram organizados e executados a partir de uma análise teórico-crítica sobre os desdobramentos sociais da fronteira capitalista no Tocantins. Os impactos negativos provenientes do agronegócio são de grandes proporções. A grande concentração de terras para a produção de monoculturas como a soja, acaba apropriando dos espaços produtivos dos pequenos proprietários de terras. Por outro lado, os camponeses não dispõem de recursos financeiros para investir em tecnologia para produzir em maior escala e concorrer com o grande produtor. Os grandes latifúndios muito embora concentrem uma grande área de lavoura, não empregam muitos trabalhadores, parcela da mão de obra oferecida é automatizada. O plantio e a colheita da produção são realizados de forma mecanizada e sazonal, o que exige uma mão de obra técnica, que muitas vezes não absorve a mão de obra disponível nas regiões em que se instalam a atividade econômica do agronegócio.

Published: January 2020

This research conducted with the fully fresh, ripe and sound tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) was collected then washed, peeled, seeds removed and transferred to the juice extractor. Sugar, preservatives were added to the extracted filtrated juice. Then the juice was heated, cooled and bottled for preservation. Tomato juice was prepared with three different treatments. Among the three treatments T1, T2 and T3 sample were prepared with no preservative, Na-benzoate preservative and potassium meta-bisulphite (KMS) preservative respectively. The organoleptic observation of this tomato juice was studied for 60 days storage period. Chemical analysis and sensory tests were carried out during the 30 days at an interval of 15 days to assess the effect of chemical additives on the shelf life of tomato juice. Negligible Change in chemical constituents except vitamin C was observed in the prepared juice throughout the 30 days storage period. Color was gradually faded and slightly off flavor develops at the end of the storage periods. The treatment T2 secured highest score for color, flavor, taste and overall acceptability and ranked as “Like very much” by a taste testing panel. Tomato juice prepared with no preservative (T1) spoiled after 45 days storage and juice prepared with KMS preservative (T3) spoiled after 60 days storage. Total number of viable bacteria was highest in tomato juice treated with no preservative (T1) and KMS preservative (T3). Tomato juice with Na-benzoate preservative (T2) contained least viable bacteria which was better than T1 and T3 sample. Considering all the parameters, Na-benzoate tends to be better additives than potassium meta-bisulphite (KMS) for preservation of tomato juice.
Local government funding in Ireland: Contemporary issues and future challenges
Authors: Turley Gerard , McNena Stephen
Published: January 2020

The years since the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent economic crash have witnessed significant changes to the funding of the local government system in Ireland. This paper outlines these developments, while, at the same time, exploring some of the most important future challenges relating to the financing of Irish local authorities. The dominant local government revenue issues of the last decade outlined here are fiscal autonomy and the balance between own-source income and central government grants, income differences between urban and rural councils, the Local Property Tax, changes in commercial rates and fiscal equalisation. In terms of fiscal dependency and equalisation, our findings show reductions in the vertical and horizontal fiscal imbalances in the Irish local government system. Likely future challenges include the need to re-examine the balance between business taxes and non-business taxes, funding the expected growth in metropolitan areas and the financing options for capital investment by local authorities, including consideration of municipal bond issuance for the Greater Dublin Area.

Published: January 2020

Trees and shrubs of the genus Cordia are widely distributed in the warmer regions, including Indonesia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of the ethanolic extract of plant leaves in Wistar albino rats. The analgesic activity was evaluated using the hot plate method and acetic acid-induced writhing, and the anti-inflammatory activity was determined using carrageenan-induced paw oedema. The results showed that the Cordia sebestena ethanol extract (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) exhibited significant analgesic effects in a dose-dependent manner in the two pain models tested. The extract also exhibited significant anti-inflammatory effects in the carrageenan-induced inflammation test. The data obtained support the traditional folklore therapeutic claim about its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Nonetheless, further scientific investigation is required to establish its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties in other experimental models and clinical settings.
Using Information on Class Interrelations to Improve Classification of Multiclass Imbalanced Data: A New Resampling Algorithm
Authors: Janicka Małgorzata , Lango Mateusz , Stefanowski Jerzy
Published: January 2020

The relations between multiple imbalanced classes can be handled with a specialized approach which evaluates types of examples’ difficulty based on an analysis of the class distribution in the examples’ neighborhood, additionally exploiting information about the similarity of neighboring classes. In this paper, we demonstrate that such an approach can be implemented as a data preprocessing technique and that it can improve the performance of various classifiers on multiclass imbalanced datasets. It has led us to the introduction of a new resampling algorithm, called Similarity Oversampling and Undersampling Preprocessing (SOUP), which resamples examples according to their difficulty. Its experimental evaluation on real and artificial datasets has shown that it is competitive with the most popular decomposition ensembles and better than specialized preprocessing techniques for multi-imbalanced problems.

Published: January 2020

This study was conducted to identify races of wheat seed gall nematode Anguina tritici by using molecular identification for this nematode species parasitized on durum and bread wheat cultivars. Wheat seed galls of both cultivars were collected from two cities, Erbil and Duhok, from the Kurdistan Region and Iraq respectively. DNA was extracted from both nematode isolates (populations), and then PCR reactions were performed with Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region using primers TW81/AB28 with 2 µl of template DNA of A. tritici for both nematode isolates on both wheat cultivars. The bands of both amplification products of PCR reactions were visualized in position about 800 bp on agarose gel, which indicates that both isolates of A. tritici belong to the same race. On the other hand, no nucleotide differences were observed between the two nematode isolations, as revealed by the sequence alignment of DNA of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and phylogenetic tree, which emphasizes at the same time that both nematode isolates are of the same genetic structure or have the same identity and confirms their belonging to the same nematode race.
Determination of drying parameters of carrot pomace
Authors: Molnos É. , Vajda Z.
Published: January 2020

Carrot is one of the most important root vegetables rich in bioactive compounds such as carotenoids and dietary fibres, with appreciable levels of several other functional components and having significant health-promoting properties. Therefore, it is cultivated on a large scale throughout the world. The by-product (pomace) resulted during carrot juice production is used mainly as animal feed although it contains many valuable components and could therefore be used profitably in the food industry, too. Carrot pomace needs to be preserved by drying as otherwise it deteriorates rapidly. In our research, we studied the infrared drying kinetics of carrot pomace at various temperatures, the obtained data being very important in the drying practice.

Published: January 2020

Heat resistant thermophilic spore-forming bacteria, such as Aeribacillus (A.) pallidus, may contaminate the surfaces in food facilities resulting food spoilage of the products. The aim of this work was to determine the heat and disinfectant resistance of an A. pallidus strain that was isolated from a canning factory environment. Compared to other heat-resistant spore-forming bacteria, it did not prove to be very resistant to heat with a D10-values of A. pallidus from 12.2 min to 2.4 min (at 102 °C and at 110 °C), with a calculated z-value of 11.6 °C. Not only spores but vegetative cells showed resistance against all investigated disinfectants.
