Published: October 2018

The most promising earthworm species used for vermicomposting is Eisenia foetida for their tolerance in wide range of moisture levels and temperatures. The earthworms (E. foetida) were grown in cow dung wastes and cow dung wastes supplemented with plant materials of banana pseudo-stem, leaf litter and sawdust respectively. The earthworm population, cocoon number, vermicompost amount, macronutrient contents (N, P, and K), microbial population, pH and electrical conductivity were examined to assess the effect of animal waste (cow dung) and plant material mix on multiplication, reproduction, yield and vermicompost qualities of E. foetida. The multiplication and reproduction were achieved highest in the mixture of cow dung and sawdust vermicompost and lowest in the mixture of cow dung and banana pseudo-stem vermicompost. But the amount of vermicompost was found to be highest in cow dung as sole source of feeding material as compared to the cow dung mixed with plant materials. High quality vermicompost containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and greater microbial population was produced from the mixture of cow dung and banana pseudostem vermicompost as compared to other mixtures. All these vermicomposts showed acceptable level of pH and electrical conductivity values.Kathmandu University Journal of Science, Engineering and TechnologyVol. 13, No. 2, 2017, page: 15-25

Authors: Adeniran K. A. , Dunmoye I. D.
Published: October 2018

The high cost of most chemical coagulants and their non-availability coupled with their negative health impacts necessitates the use of natural or bio-coagulants. This study compares the effectiveness of using powdered extract from matured dried Mangifera indica (M. indica) seeds (bio-coagulant) with Aluminum sulphate (alum, chemical coagulant) for the coagulation of domestic waste water. The treatments include: control culture (no coagulant is added), 150 mg/L of alum, 100 mg/L, 150 mg/L and 200 mg/L of M. indica seeds. All the treatments were cultured in 15-litres buckets. The experiment was design based on Completely Randomized Design (CRD) replicated 3times. Physical, chemical and bacteriological properties of the domestic sewage were determined before and after the application of the coagulants on weekly basis. Results show that for turbidity, at the point of collection, the value was 013NTU was reduced to a minimum value of 001NTU for both 100 mg/L and 150 mg/L of M. indica seeds treatments. The Total Hardness at the point of collection was 2.73 mg/L; the highest value during the period of study was 5.30 mg/L at the fifth week for the alum treatment, followed by 4.37 at the fourth week for 100 mg/L of M. indica seeds treatment. The study showed that M. indica seeds powder perform very well as a bio-coagulant and be used as a replacement for alum or any other chemical coagulant in the purification of domestic waste water.Kathmandu University Journal of Science, Engineering and TechnologyVol. 13, No. 2, 2017, page:26-38
Suitability of Electronic Nose as a Reflective Tool to the Measurement of Soil Fertility Factors
Authors: Lavanya S. , Krishna Murthy V.
Published: October 2018

Humic Acid (HA) and Fulvic Acid (FA) contribute prominently to soil fertility. They are aromatic in nature and hence can be determined by sensory array. This is apparently the first report on the employment of Electronic nose (E-nose) to detect HA and FA extracted from soil. The aim was to evaluate the E-nose sensor response to HA and FA chemically extracted from different agricultural soils. Humic acid and Fulvic acid were extracted from collected agricultural soils and the aroma was measured by E-nose from each of the seven soils. Their presence was confirmed by fluorescence spectroscopy. The Norm Aroma Index (NAI) was measured for: soil, soil after heat treatment, heat treated soil amended with extracted HA, heat treated soil amended with extracted FA, extracted HA and extracted FA. The NAI values were descending in the order: heat treated soil amended with extracted HA/FA, extracted HA/FA, soil (untreated) and heat treated soil. This indicates that HA and FA are detected by E-nose. It was also observed that the most sensitive sensors were 2, 3, 4, 8 and 5 for all agricultural soils tested. Out of the eight sensors in the sensory array of E-nose, above mentioned sensors consistently exhibited high response and these sensors when customized into a small unit may act as a soil fertility tester.Kathmandu University Journal of Science, Engineering and TechnologyVol. 13, No. 2, 2017, page: 39-47
Study on The Effect of Soft Story on Infill RC Frames Under Seismic Effect
Authors: Bhatt Mahesh Raj , Pradhan Prachand Man , Jha Sudip
Published: October 2018

Construction practice of reinforced concrete (RC) frames infilled with unreinforced masonry is quite common now-days in urban cities in Nepal and elsewhere. Previous study shows the lateral load transfer mechanism is different than that of bare frames in infill buildings. Because of the unavoidable circumstances like elimination of central columns, elimination of infill wall in basement for parking purpose and reducing the size of frame members etc. may cause the particular story to be soft.In this study the infill RC frames with stiffness irregularity has been analysed with linear time history method using Gorkha-2015 earthquake as ground motion using structural analysis and design software (ETABS 2000 V.16). In total 8-numbers of 6-story RC infilled frames were analysed introducing the soft story in each story level respectively from basement to top. Regular frame was designed as per IS 1893:2002 load combination considering torsional effect. After analyse of bare frame, regular frame and irregular frames the global and story level seismic demand parameters were studied comparatively. Base/Story shear, Story displacement, inter-story drift and fundamental time period were the parameters compared taking regular frame as reference case.Results showed that, there is significant effect of location of irregularity on the seismic demand. The global and story level seismic demand is higher when the irregularity is introduced in bottom part of the buildings and further it showed that the lateral strength of RC frames get highly enhanced due to introductions of infill in analytical models.Kathmandu University Journal of Science, Engineering and TechnologyVol. 13, No. 2, 2017, page:79-91
Archaea: Underestimated Domain in Pharmaceutical Quality Control
Authors: Eissa Mostafa
Published: October 2018

Quality control monitoring of microbiological attribute of the pharmaceutical environment - including pharmaceutical water and compressed gases- and products is an essential prerequisite to judge the goodness of the manufacturing environment and safe release of the pharmaceutical article into the market, respectively. While most of the quality control tests mainly focus on detection and/or enumeration of both bacteria and fungi, Archaea were not considered on regular testing despite the fact that they are widely distributed in nature and found in human body. Conventional culture techniques in laboratories are not suitable for most members of Archaea. The ever-growing number of patients with a defective immune system - accompanied by increasing list of objectionable microbes - highlights the potential risk that may emerge from underestimating other non-culturable microorganisms on traditional microbiological media even if it has not shown any signs of pathogenesis till now. The pharmaceutical technology should overcome this barrier to guard against any possible outbreaks provisionally that may emerge from creeping microbes undetected to the body of patients in addition to the possible spoiling of pharmaceutical products, especially those with significant water activity.Kathmandu University Journal of Science, Engineering and TechnologyVol. 13, No. 2, 2017, page: 98-102

Published: October 2018

The aim of this study is to evaluate the preservative efficacy of Origanum elongatum essential oil in topical cream under a challenge test that was performed following the standard procedure proposed by the European Pharmacopoeia, using standardized microorganisms. Essential oil was analyzed by GC–MS (gas chromatography–mass spectrometry). The antimicrobial activity of this essential oil was investigated by agar diffusion methods and broth microdilution assay to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration of essential oil required for preservation. The results demonstrated that the preservation effect was effective at 2% (v/w) of Origanum elongatum essential oil in topical cream, satisfying criterion A against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Aspergillus brasiliensis. However, the essential oil was ineffective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa with a reduction of 102 within 7 days of challenge and no increase up to the 28th day and against Candida albicans in the challenge test. Carvacrol predominated (63.06%), followed by the two monoterpenes hydrocarbons: γ-terpinene (15.99%) and p-cymene (9.51%). Our study highlighted the preservative power of Origanum elongatum essential oil as an alternative solution to chemical preservatives.
Лирический генезис музыки и над-, внеиндивидуальные формы его проявления в храмовом гимнопении Китая и Европы.
Authors: Mincze Van
Published: October 2018

Цель работы. Исследование связано с поиском лирического принципа выражения по его генезису и развитию в культовом гимнопении. Недооценка религиозных истоков искусства в музыкальной сфере чревата потерей ориентиров на идеальную специфику этого вида творчества, что в условиях современной экспансии шоу-бизнеса затрудняет сохранность этого рода художественного достояния. Методология исследования определяется опорой на интонационное видение специфики музыки, что вводит стилевой компаратив и историко-логический методы в качестве базовых, позволяя выявить смысловую парадигматику музыки, заложенную ее ритуально-религиозным истоком. Научная новизна состоит в расширении представлений о лирике как обусловливаемой вне- и надличностным характером выразительности храмового пения. Сравнительный анализ храмовой лирики в Китае и в Европе выводит на универсально-человеческие принципы музыкальной выразительности, черпающие в культе истоки высокой абстракции ее символики и экстатики. Выводы. В гимнопении происходит формирование лирической полноты возвышения над бытийностью – в пении как преодолении речевой ограниченности диапазона, как гипертрофии круговых движений голоса в виде фигуративных построений, как способ запечатления высокого без-волия, противостоящего моделям волевых устремлений, которые имеют место в музыке, выстроенной в гармонической вводнотонности.Ключевые слова: лирический генезис, лирика, гимнопение, храмовость.

Authors: Markin A. V.
Published: October 2018

The article is devoted to the initial stage of Ukrainization in the Kuban, which consisted mainly of a purposeful and consistent introduction of the Ukrainian language and culture into the life of the population. After the February 1917 events in Russia, various national movements, where they were present, sharply intensified. In particular, the Cuban-Ukrainian movement in the Kuban also became more active. Initially, measures for this implementation were planned to be implemented in the sphere of education, mainly school. At the first stage it was spontaneous, at the initiative of the inhabitants of some localities, but with the support of the Kuban Territorial and legislative rads. The Kuban Parliament, immediately after its formation in March 1917, announced to the Provisional Government its plans to create an extensive network of Ukrainian schools, to use the Ukrainian language more widely, to promote its implementation in church services.

Authors: Gutman S. S. , Tereshko E. K.
Published: October 2018

A key condition for the sustainable development of the Russian Federation Arctic Zone (RFAZ) territories is the availability of a developed infrastructure of the region. Under the infrastructure of the region, it is common to understand the whole set of functional systems that ensure the vital activity and competitiveness of the region. One of the basic elements of the infrastructure is the construction complex of the region, which includes: housing construction (low-rise and high-rise), industrial construction, social construction, cultural construction, road construction and general construction. This study considers the strategic development of the construction complex of the Murmansk region as one of the RFAZ territories. Strategic development of the regional construction complex is provided by construction companies and organizations. The analysis of the activity of construction en­terprises and organizations showed a strong dependence of the construction complex development from economic crises. In this connection, the list of actions allowing to provide balanced development for the regional building complex has been offered. Based on the identified activities, benchmarks were identified and the component “Indus­try and Entrepreneurship” of the strategic map for the development of the construction complex in the Murmansk region was developed.

Published: October 2018

The current stage in the development of the banking structure is characterized by serious changes in organizational structures, the introduction of innovations and the use of progressive management methods. In the conditions of market relations, the probability of risks in banking activity increases. Risk is an activity connected with overcoming uncertainty in a situation of unavoidable choice, in the process of which it is possible to quantitatively and qualitatively assess the probability of achieving the expected result, failure and deviation from the goal. Banking activity is characterized by an increased risk. The decisions that are made in the investment process are almost always accompanied by risks. In this regard, it is necessary to develop a decision-making mechanism that will manage various risk factors. Risk management plays an important role in the commercial activity of the bank and attaches great importance to the effective functioning of the risk management system. The policy of a commercial bank for the management of claims is aimed at monitoring, analyzing, coordinating and managing claims, in which case an assessment of the magnitude of the risk and establishing compliance with acceptable limits is necessary. In order to take into account the volatile situation in the banking services market, activities in the management of commercial property claims must be constantly reviewed and adjusted.
PROBLEMATIC ISSUES OF THE ADDED VALUE TAX
Authors: Chumakova N. A. , Adamyan Zh. A.
Published: October 2018

The reform of the budgetary and administrative spheres of legislation at the present stage is inextricably linked with the direction taken at the state level to stabilize the economy in the country, as well as to stimulate its growth. Particularly important element of this phenomenon is taxes, which represent the main source of revenues in the country’s budget and financial system. Today in the sphere of economy and financial regulation there is a question of increase of taxes. The President of the Russian Federation has already signed a law, according to which from January 1, 2019 the VAT rate increases from 18 to 20%. At the same time, the existing VAT benefits in the form of an exemption from this tax, as well as the VAT rate of 0% and 10% remain. The reform of the law on VAT (in addition to the increase of budget revenues from tax amounts) intended to eliminate the economic failure of the application of VAT and simplification of VAT administration. It should be noted that the problems arising from the improvement of indirect taxation, in this case, affecting the value added tax, are currently relevant for Russia. Starting from 1992, when VAT was introduced in Russia for the first time, to the present day, there are clashes of opinions of the warring parties about the relevance of the value added tax. The problems affect the level of rates and the procedure for calculating tax liabilities, the volume and structure of benefits, the procedure for VAT collection in the movement of goods and services between foreign partners, as well as the probability of its replacement with sales tax or the establishment of a single VAT rate. And this is not the most complete list of problems arising from the reform of the value added tax.

Entre raízes aéreas e exoesqueletos: a produção de currículos de biologia
Authors: Bastos Sandra Nazaré Dias , Chaves Silvia Nogueira
Published: October 2018

Este trabalho visa discutir o currículo como construção histórica, produto de diferentes intencionalidades, jogos de saber-poder e escolhas que inevitavelmente levam a inclusões e exclusões. Nossas análises estão entrelaçadas às ferramentas teóricas para mapear enunciados, pensadas por Michel Foucault, e que, relacionadas a prescrições e determinações, inventam um currículo de Biologia que não só privilegia, mas fomenta a necessidade de “especificidades”, como um olhar diferenciado sobre a natureza, procedimentos práticos e experimentais, além de dependências e equipamentos para acontecer de forma aceitável. Ressaltamos, no entanto, que, se por um lado é possível entender o currículo como esse conjunto de ordenamentos e de linhas fixas, por outro lado, é possível (e também desejável!) ver e exercitar possibilidades de rompimento que nos levem a ter disponibilidade para que outras sensibilidades e (bio)lógicas nos habitem. Quem sabe assim, um dia, a Biologia possa ser também poesia e voltar a ter vida na sala de aula.

Vida professoral de Maria do Carmo de Miranda: docência em tempos autoritários (1960-1988)
Authors: Barbosa Maria Graça Cruz , Santos Luciana Martins Teixeira , Carvalho Maria Elizete Guimarães
Published: October 2018

O presente artigo tem por propósito refletir sobre os saberes docentes e a prática pedagógica, produzidos e/ou reproduzidos no período de 1964 a 1988, a partir dos resultados da pesquisa de Mestrado em Educação/PPGE/UFPB “História e Memórias de vida professoral: Maria do Carmo de Miranda nas configurações do magistério (1960-1988)”. Conforme Nóvoa (2007), pesquisas sobre história de vida de professores se inserem como instrumentos elucidadores para a História da Educação, ao permitirem a discussão de aspectos educacionais a partir de trajetórias individuais, numa relação entre o privado e o político-social. O aporte teórico-metodológico discute com os fundamentos e procedimentos da memória, da história oral e da abordagem biográfica, articulados aos estudos de Le Goff (2012), Nóvoa (1999; 2007), Dosse (2009), entre outras fontes. No processo de constituição da docência, vida e contexto se entrelaçam, de forma que os saberes docentes e a prática pedagógica vivenciados pela Professora Maria do Carmo de Miranda, ora reforçaram, ora enfraqueceram as relações autoritárias de poder e opressão, presentes no contexto da docência paraibana no período investigado.

Published: October 2018

A pesquisa contempla uma investigação que busca dar visibilidade às memórias educativas (1960-1980), da cidade de Vilhena/RO. Período marcado por forte migração e por negligências políticas. É neste contexto que surge esta pesquisa qualitativa de cunho historiográfico que conta ainda com entrevistas semiestruturadas advindas da metodologia da História Oral. Procura compreender as relações de sociabilidade, assim como as representações da infância no período de 1960 a 1980. Durante a pesquisa, torna-se importante abordar aspectos políticos, econômicos e sociais do período de colonização/migração, que se desenvolveu durante o Governo Militar (1960-1985). Portanto, tendo em vista essa realidade histórico-social, justifica-se a realização de uma pesquisa que compreenda o cotidiano das crianças de Vilhena, no período historicamente delimitado, enfatizando as relações que estas mantinham com a escolarização. Através das narrativas podemos perceber que precisamos registrar, na história da educação de Vilhena, os sujeitos que fizeram e fazem parte do desenvolvimento desse percurso que foi construído por muitas mãos.

Published: October 2018

This article describes how school leadership in a vocational secondary school used a research circle to establish collegial learning. The goal was to develop the teaching skills of teachers and, as a result, also develop the ability of students to assess their own knowledge and understanding, as well as their capacity to learn. The results are based on data from a qualitative case study in accordance with an action research tradition. The article reflects a contemporary education policy debate on the role of teachers in relation to students’ poorer study results. The teachers that participated developed and tested subject-specific self-assessment matrices in mini-research projects. Many of the students seemed to benefit little from using these matrices. Possible explanations may be that the students felt no motivation neither to improve their knowledge and skills nor to raise their grades. There did, however, seem to be differences between theoretical and vocational subjects. The research circle served to develop collegial learning among the participants and also played a role in the establishment of a school development group.

When individuals interact with others, perceived information is transmitted among their brains. The EEG-based hyperscanning technique, which provides an approach to explore dynamic brain activities between two or more interactive individuals and their underlying neural mechanisms, has been applied to study different aspects of social interactions since 2010. Recently there has been an increase in research on EEG-based hyperscanning of social interactions. This paper summarizes the application of EEG-based hyperscanning on the dynamic brain activities during social interactions according to the experimental designs and contents, discusses the possibility of applying inter-brain synchrony to social communication systems and analyzes the contributions and the limitations of these investigations. Furthermore, this paper sheds light on some new challenges to future EEG-based hyperscanning studies and the emerging field of EEG-based hyperscanning for pursuing the broader research field of social interactions.
K-Means Cloning: Adaptive Spherical K-Means Clustering
Authors: Hedar Abdel-Rahman , Ibrahim Abdel-Monem , Abdel-Hakim Alaa , Sewisy Adel
Published: October 2018

We propose a novel method for adaptive K-means clustering. The proposed method overcomes the problems of the traditional K-means algorithm. Specifically, the proposed method does not require prior knowledge of the number of clusters. Additionally, the initial identification of the cluster elements has no negative impact on the final generated clusters. Inspired by cell cloning in microorganism cultures, each added data sample causes the existing cluster ‘colonies’ to evaluate, with the other clusters, various merging or splitting actions in order for reaching the optimum cluster set. The proposed algorithm is adequate for clustering data in isolated or overlapped compact spherical clusters. Experimental results support the effectiveness of this clustering algorithm.

Macrophages migrate and invade into damaged muscle rapidly and are important for muscle repair and subsequent regeneration. The exact cellular and biological events that cause macrophage migration toward injured muscle are not completely understood. In this study, the effect of macrophage differentiation on the chemotactic capability to invade local damaged muscle was investigated using an in vitro model of muscle injury. We used C2C12 cell myoblasts and J774 cell macrophages, and the “killed-C2C12” cells were combined with live C2C12 cells as a partially damaged muscle model. The cultured J774 cells, with or without lipopolysaccharide (LPS), were treated with Ly294002 (Ly), which is an inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). In order to evaluate the polarization effect of LPS stimulation on J774 cells, expression of cell surface Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), CD11c and CCR2, and expression of F-actin intensity, were analyzed by flow cytometry. The real-time horizontal chemotaxis assay of J774 cells was tested using the TAXIScan device. The expressions of TLR4, CD11c, and F-actin intensity in LPS-treated cells were significantly higher than those in Ctrl cells. In LPS-treated cells, the chemotactic activity toward damaged muscle cells completely disappeared. Moreover, the reduced chemotaxis depended far more on directionality than velocity. However, Ly treatment reversed the reduced chemotactic activity of the LPS-treated cells. In addition, cell-adhesion and F-actin intensity, but not CCR2 expression, in LPS-treated cells, was significantly reduced by Ly treatment. Taken together, our results suggest that the PI3K/Akt activation state drives migration behavior towards damaged muscle cells.
An Improved Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption Scheme in Power Cloud Access Control
Authors: Li Yuancheng , Zhang Pan , Wang Boyan
Published: October 2018

In power cloud environment, the existing Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) access control schemes, do not consider the generation of access structure and the existence of malicious users. To tackle these problems, a power cloud access control (PCAC) scheme is proposed, which improves the traditional CP-ABE access control model. Considering the heavy time consumption of CP-ABE, PCAC encrypts the symmetric key, instead of the raw data. PCAC combines the access tree and linear secret-sharing scheme (LSSS) to achieve the automatic generation and efficient operation of access structure. Additionally, an action audit phase, based on zero-knowledge verification was designed to defend against malicious users. The experiments proved that PCAC meets the requirement of fine-grained access control, in a power cloud. Compared with existing CP-ABE schemes, the PCAC scheme reduced about half of the time consumption, in the action audit phase and costs about one-third the time, in the data obtainment stage.

Published: October 2018

In this work, we propose a new approach to create striped patterned sapphire substrate (PSS) under the circumstance that grooved patterned sapphire substrate technology exhibits more potential to reduce dislocation density in GaN (gallium nitride) epilayers. The striped grooves of patterned sapphire substrate are ablated by femtosecond laser. After the process of metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method, the c-plane GaN epitaxial layers grown on striped PSS have larger crystallite size, which brings much less crystal boundary. There is much less compressive stress between the GaN crystals which improves the smoothness and compactness of GaN epilayers. This result demonstrates a significant improvement in the crystallinity of the c-plane GaN epitaxial layers grown on striped PSS.

The Art of Violent Protest and Crime Prevention
Authors: Kerr John
Published: October 2018

This article examines violent protest in art museums. There is a long history of art museums being used as sites of protest. As spaces full of meaning, they represent ideal locations for people to try to shape the present and the future. From peaceful demonstrations to terrorist attacks, the current risks of protest to art museums is high. Motivated by ideological, political and social reasons, these protests include those that specifically target art objects within the art museums, as well as others that use the sites as stages on which to protest. This article is based predominantly on secondary sources; however, it also uses empirical research data collected by the author during observation research at art museums in London in March 2017 and July 2017. The article begins by considering why art museums attract so many protests. It argues that as ‘sites of persuasion’, art museums can be battlegrounds on which people look to shape how society is constructed and perceived. It then examines contemporary and historical case studies in Brazil and the UK to help our understanding of violent protests and the challenges they pose to art museums. Following this, the article proposes that as art museums are important sites of persuasion, there must be more awareness of the threats they face from violent protests in order to shape crime prevention approaches. The article finishes by arguing that although protests can be highly problematic for people involved with art museums, the ongoing appeal of these spaces as sites of protest shows the significance of art museums as important locations of cultural meaning.
