Urban and rural millennials: Heterogeneity of the young adult generation
Authors: Radaev Vadim V.
Published: July 2019

A sociological approach towards the generational cohort analysis is developed. A special emphasis is made upon the youngest adult generation of millennials coming out of their adolescence in the 2000s. A broad range of social indicators is used for empirical exploration of intra-generational differences between urban and rural millennials. Data were collected from the annual Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS-HSE) in 2003—2016. Numerous significant differences have been revealed with regard to the educational level, family planning, use of modern gadgets and digital technologies, commitment to healthy lifestyles, and some values. Some practices are more widely spread among rural millennials, whereas other practices are more characteristic of urban millennials. Most of revealed differences are explained by the lower level of material well-being of rural millennials and lower quality of rural infrastructure.

Published: July 2019

This paper brings to the fore techniques for proper management of saline water intrusion in coastal region because of the hardship its negligence bring upon the public that rely on it for livelihood. Groundwater remains the main source of quality and adequate water supply in the world over from which we get water for domestic, agricultural and industrial usage. One of the factors affecting the quality of water from this source is saline water intrusion, especially in coastal aquifers. This problem affects the portability of the water and the population that depends on it. Therefore, due to the aforementioned problem, measures must be put in place in order to adequately manage and control saline water intrusion so as to protect the dependent population from untold hardship that may result in near future.
Synthesis and Characterization of Maleinized Rice Bran Oil Fatty Acids
Authors: Shikha Deepti
Published: July 2019

Ricebran oil has higher percentage of free fatty acids which accounts for its use in various industries. In the present work rice bran fatty acids have been used for maleinization. In rice bran fatty acids maleic anhydride reacts with oleic acid without loss of unsaturation in the acid and formed succinic anhydride type adduct. Hydration of the maleinized product is performed to overcome from a number of technological difficulties such as increase in the product viscosity, abrupt and uncontrollable drop of the acid number and also gelation. Inspite of its high free acid content and dark colour, rice bran oil can be conveniently used in laundry soaps directly, but conversion of oil into distilled fatty acids provides various avenues for value added products. The absence of linolenic acid in rice bran fatty acids has an excellent advantage in providing non-yellowing characteristics. This property of rice bran fatty acids opens avnues for coating industries.

Utopia or Uprising? Conflicting Discourses of Japanese Robotics in the British Press
Authors: Hayes Christopher J.
Published: July 2019

Technology is a particularly interesting example of where media portrayal of Japan is inconsistent. For many years, Japan has been known as a technologically advanced nation. This image persists, especially in the last couple of years with the introduction of service and retail robots such as Softbank’s Pepper. While sometimes news publications present this as a positive image of the future, an idea of what we in the West have to look forwards to, at other times, the image of technology in Japan is decidedly negative. Sometimes it has too much technology, or it has technologies that ‘we in the West’ would not see a use for. How do these conflicting views arise? This paper uses Critical Discourse Analysis to analyse British news articles about three recent robots in order to reveal the discourses present. The article will investigate whether these depictions are a result of Orientalism, but will show that no single Orientalism is responsible, but rather a combination of Techno-Orientalism, Self-Orientalism, and Wacky Orientalism.
Layers of the Traditional in Popular Performing Arts: Object and Voice as Character: Vocaloid Opera AOI
Authors: Rosner Tina
Published: July 2019

The paper analyzes how the concept of presence is put into play in connection to disappearance, contemporary popular media technology and objects in the 2014 production of Vocaloid Opera Aoi, composed by Hiroshi Tamawari. In the traditional noh theatre version of the famous story, the character Aoi does not appear “in person,” she is represented by a kimono. In the 2014 production the modified story is performed with bunraku puppets and sung by a Vocaloid singer, a software. By analyzing this, I elaborate on the connection between the recent studies on object dramaturgy and the questions of nonhuman (Bennett, Eckersall), and the nonreflective position rooted in animism from the fan base of pop culture that attributes personality and emotions to their respective robot/android/software idol. 
I examine the latest performative events in contemporary Japanese theatre that involve both human and non-human actors/agents (animals, objects, androids, vocaloids): the corporeality of the organic and inorganic Other, focusing on how the presence of the organic and non-organic nonhuman appears within the interplays of representation, how it relates to the layers of empathy, responsibility and consent, in the frame of contemporary Japanese popular culture.

A cultura da canola é a segunda oleaginosa mais produzida no mundo, possuindo importância no mercado mundial, principalmente pelo óleo utilizado no consumo humano e produção de biodiesel, sendo uma opção de renda ao produtor e também como alternativa de rotação de culturas. Com a irregular distribuição pluviométrica de algumas regiões, há necessidade do uso da irrigação para o suprimento hídrico adequado às plantas. Este trabalho objetiva avaliar a influência de lâminas de irrigação na produtividade, nos componentes de rendimento (número de siliquas por planta, número de grãos por siliqua e massa de mil grãos) e na eficiência do uso da água de duas cultivares de canola. O trabalho foi conduzido de junho a outubro de 2016, em delineamento experimental blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições. O fator A foi constituído de 6 tratamentos de irrigação (0%, 25%, 50%,75%,100% e 125% da ETo), e o fator B por duas cultivares de canola (Hyola 61 e Diamond). A cultivar Diamond apresentou número de siliquas 26% superior à cultivar Hyola 61 (P<0,05). Com o uso da irrigação, houve incremento nos componentes de rendimento, na produtividade e aumento da eficiência do uso da água para ambas cultivares. A maior produtividade e eficiência do uso da água foram observadas na cultivar Diamond.

O cártamo é apreciado pelo seu óleo rico em ácidos graxos poli-insaturados e monoinsaturados obtido de suas sementes. Dessa forma, para uma melhor compreensão das estruturas da semente e seus processos fisiológicos, objetivou-se com este trabalho estudar os grãos de cártamo, com caracterização morfológica, composição centesimal, atributos físicos e sanidade. Foi realizada a caracterização do lote e, posteriormente, a caracterização morfológica dos grãos, das plântulas e a composição centesimal dos grãos de cártamo. Além disso, realizou-se a determinação do número de sementes sem “casca”, os estudos de análise de imagem. A composição centesimal se caracteriza pela presença de elevados teores de extrato etéreo, o que permitiu confirmar a espécie como oleaginosa.Pelo teste de sanidade observou-se maior incidência de fungos patogênicos, como Alternaria sp. e Fusarium sp.  Conclui-se que o grão de cártamo é tetragonal, eurispérmico, e sendo classificado como bitegumentado, com a testa lisa. O embrião é facilmente observado quando hidratado, sendo aclorofilado de coloração branca e os cotilédones são carnosos, planos, longos e de contorno aproximadamente circular.
Plant community responses to wildfire may be contingent upon historical disturbance regimes
Authors: Miller Jesse , Safford Hugh
Published: July 2019

Ecological disturbance is a major driver of ecosystem structure and evolutionary selection, and theory predicts that disturbance frequency and / or intensity should determine its effects on communities. However, adaptations of species pools to different historical disturbance regimes are rarely considered in the search for generalizable community responses to disturbance. To explore how disturbance severity affects plant diversity patterns, we review studies of understory plant community responses to wildfire in conifer forests of western North America across a gradient of departure from historical fire regimes. We find that post-fire plant species richness may generally be maximized at disturbance severities that match the predominant historical disturbance regime in a given ecosystem. Studies that examined multiple spatial scales indicate that plant community responses to fire are likely to be scale-dependent, suggesting that post-disturbance monitoring should consider community responses at multiple scales. Our review highlights that considering adaptations to historical disturbance regimes may improve the ability to predict disturbance effects on communities. We discuss future research needs; quantitative studies that compare community responses to fire at multiple scales across different historical fire regimes would be particularly useful. Ultimately, considering disturbance as a multivariate problem is likely to lead to greater inference than traditional bivariate approaches.
Inbreeding and Mortality Risk in a Captive Population of Mhorr Gazelle (Nanger dama mhorr)
Authors: Quilicot Ana Marquiza , Baumung Roswitha
Published: July 2019

This study aimed to evaluate the genetic variation and examine the association of inbreeding level on mortality risk (at days 7, 30 and 180 – weaning age) of Mhorr gazelle in captivity for the year 1969–2000 as recorded in the studbook record kept by Australasian Regional Association of Zoological Parks and Aquaria (ARAZPA). The effective number of founders, ancestors and founder genomes was found to be 3.42, 3, and 1.44 for the studied reference population. The reference population is composed of animals which are alive, with known parents and known sex. Animals that are less than 10 years old (based on birth dates up to 2008) with no remarks on its death are considered alive. The population may not have experienced a severe bottleneck, as the values on the effective number of founders and ancestors are almost equal. However, the effective number of founder genomes is low, which demonstrates gene loss due to genetic drift. The mean inbreeding coefficients of the individual, sire and dam were found to be 0.2971 ± 0.1043, 0.2300 ± 0.1141 0.2339 ± 0.1070, respectively. The maximum inbreeding level of the population is 0.5247 (52.47%). This means that parent–offspring or full-sib mating must have happened. The increase in inbreeding level of an individual was found to be significantly associated (p<0.10) with an increase in p mortality risk at day 180 or weaning age. Increasing inbreeding level of sires was found to be significantly associated with increasing risk in mortality at day 30, which indicates that inbred parents also can influence the survival of an offspring. Efficient breeding programs are as important for decreasing mortality in captive populations, as the provision of optimum zoo management practices.
Potential of Some Legume Forages for Rumen Defaunation in Goats
Authors: Aban Maita , Bestil Lolito
Published: July 2019

Plant secondary metabolites appeared to have some effects on rumen fermentation pattern, microbial population, feed intake and digestibility. An experiment was conducted to identify forage species with potential in defaunating (killing protozoal population) the reticulo-rumen in goats. There were five forage species tested: Robles (Cassia siamea), Desmodium (Desmodium heterophyllum), Kakawate (Gliricidia sepium), Centro (Centrosema pubescens) and Ipil-ipil (Leucaena leucocephala) with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) as the control treatment. The forages of the different species were homogenized using a blender to extract the juice.The extracts were then drenched down into the reticulo-rumen of goats through stomach tubing at 1% of their body weight (BW).
Froth analysis for saponin content showed higher values in Robles followed by Ipil-ipil, with Kakawate as the lowest. Ipil-ipil and Robles had comparable defaunating effects with that of the SLS which significantly reduced (p<0.01) the protozoal numbers as compared to the other forages tested. However, Ipil-ipil and Desmodium appeared to have significantly higher (p<0.01) dry matter (DM) intake p of the basal Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) diet as compared to the other forages tested. Bacterial population also decreased but differences among treatments were not significant. Therefore, forage extracts containing high amounts of saponin are effective in reducing protozoal population, comparable to that of SLS. The use of Ipil-ipil forage extract for defaunating the rumen is recommended as it is organic, unlike SLS, and also promotes higher dietary DM intake.

Published: July 2019

The Ramon Magsaysay Center for Agricultural Resources and Environment Studies (RM-CARES) has isolated Trichoderma longibrachiatum and Trichoderma asperellum from carabao manure. Since Trichoderma is mass produced in solid form and applied basally, the conversion Trichoderma into liquid form allows the supply of nutrients at different growth stages of crops.
This study aimed to formulate and test the efficacy of combined organic liquid supplement (OLS) from Trichoderma spp. and fermented extracts from kakawate and malunggay leaves, banana fruits, soybean and mungbean seeds. Based on the results for one trial on pechay, undertaken in a certified organic area at the Ramon Magsaysay Center for Agricultural Resources (RM-CARES), Central Luzon State University Science City of Muñoz (CLSU), Nueva Ecija, yield was significantly increased by the supplementation of Trichoderma spp. in combination with fermented plant and seed extracts. Treatment with 1:0.5 ratio of T. asperellum: fermented plant and seed extracts significantly gave the highest computed yield of 12 t/ha which is 47% higher than the yield obtained in commercial OLS and 106% higher than the control. The treatment with 1:0.5 ratio of T.longibrachiatum: fermented plant and seed extracts, and treatment with commercial OLS produced comparable yield with 9.80 t/ha and 8.17 t/ha, respectively. Since the developed OLS from Trichoderma and fermented plant and seeds extracts is at par or even surpassed the yield of commercial OLS, it has the potential as bio-liquid fertilizer for organic pechay production which could be possibly substituted to commercial OLS.

Published: July 2019

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a popular fruit in the international market due to its excellent flavor, attractive fragrance, taste and nutritional properties. However, it is highly perishable since it ripens easily after harvest and it is susceptible to postharvest diseases causing severe losses during storage and transport. The paper reviews the literature on the most important postharvest treatments to alleviate this problem which include the use of fungicides, hot water treatment, vapor heat treatment, controlled atmosphere, irradiation, wax coatings and biological control. The use of fungicides, hot water treatment, irradiation, and wax coatings appear to be the most widely used postharvest treatments.

Published: July 2019

Con el presente trabajo se quiere dar a conocer al lector la problemática social y la ola de violencia que ocurrió en la década de los 80, en el occidente de Boyacá, por el dominio de las minas de esmeraldas en aquella zona del país. El conflicto armado se dio entre los denominados patrones, y conllevó una división geográfica en Boyacá mediante fronteras invisibles que los pobladores conocían. Por ende, las personas no podían ir de un pueblo a otro con tranquilidad; el hacerlo significaba exponerse. Por otro lado, este trabajo también tiene como objetivo mostrar los cambios que han sucedido durante el paso de los años y la manera en que la llegada de las grandes empresas mineras como, por ejemplo, Texas Colombia, ha cambiado la cara de este sector extractivo en el occidente de Boyacá. Para observar este cambio social y poder ver la opinión de la gente de la zona, los autores realizamos una encuesta a casi cincuenta personas, cuyos datos se analizan e interpretan en el transcurso del trabajo.

Introduction: Skin disorders are common in elderly people. Systemic diseases promote the development of dermatological conditions. Various systemic diseases contribute to the presence of cutaneous disorders, indicating the possibility that a skin abnormality may sometimes be the first and only symptom of a much more serious medical problem. The aim of the study to determine the frequency of skin diseases in elderly patients.

Materials & Methods: This was a cross-sectional study and non-probability convenient sampling technique was used. Patients were recruited from attending the Dermatology Out-patient Department of SZMCH during the study from January’2018 to July’2018. Patients included in the study having skin diseases aged between 60-80 years, including all those who were diabetic and hypertensive because diabetes and hypertension are the most common comorbid conditions among these elderly patients. Patients were included having skin diseases including pruritus, dermatitis, xerosis, eczema, psoriasis, scabies, bacterial infection, and fungal infections.

Results: More than half (53.0%) patients belonged to age 71-80 years. Three fourth (75.0%) patients had pruritus followed by 37(37.0%) had dermatitis, 24(24.0%) had xerosis, 23(23.0%) had eczema and 12(12.0%) had bacterial infections. Pruritis, dermatitis, eczema and bacterial infections were statistically significant (p<0.05) among three groups.

Conclusion: More than half of the patients belonged to age more than 70 years of age. Most common (three fourth) skin patients had pruritis, followed by more common skin patients were found dermatitis, xerosis, eczema and bacterial infection. Pruritis, dermatitis, eczema and bacterial infections were statistically significant in different age groups.

Published: July 2019

The article provides theoretical background and experimental substantiation of the organization of distance subject-subject interaction in the course of future English philologists training. The actual course of subjectness development in students which is directed to vocational and pedagogical activities applies those informational and communicative technologies which would contribute to the personal development of the students as the subjects of vocational and pedagogical activities. It also deals with the the most rational Internet technologies which provide the didactic resources and the ability to implement subject-subject interaction between the teachers and the students. Hence, distance form of interaction has particular advantages, for example: prompt transmission of different amounts of information to any distance and in any form: sound (Podcast), visual (PowerPoint Presentation), text (a report on teaching practice, exercises, portfolio), graphic, etc.; possibility to effectively change the information via the Internet from the workplace; possibility of interactive communication with the help of purposefully created multimedia information and operative feedback etc. The criteria for the subjectness development in the future English language philologists have been identified. It has been found out that the first criterion concerns value-motivational sphere of the personality of the future philologist; the second criterion is the criterion of subjectness, which characterizes self-knowledge and self-education of the future teachers; the third criterion allows to determine the subjectness of the future teachers concerning self-improvement and self-development at the university; the fourth criterion proves the acquisition of subjectness related to self-reflection by the future philologists. The experimental system of the subjectness development in the future English philologists included four blocks, which define the stages of the subjectness development, and which are united by the common goal and contents. In practice, this system was introduced at the stage of the developing experiment, which provided for the development of methodological recommendations for the university teachers on the organization of subject-subject interaction of the future English philologists within the distance specialized course.
