Published: August 2019

Indonesia has a lot of potential for nature tourism in the form of mountains, sea, and beaches. This is also an attraction for tourists to make Indonesia as the preferred natural tourist destination when on vacation. Especially West Java, West Java is one of the provinces that are in great demand by local and outside tourists.Besides being famous for its local culture and its unique culinary variety, West Java is also known for its cool air, especially in some parts that are still preserved in nature, the natural potential that is still good and is maintained as an attraction for West Java to attract tourists. One of the famous areas in the city of Bandung which is a tourist destination is the Lembang Region.From the last five years the lodging area in Lembang has increased, currently in Lembang sub-district itself has 13 lodging units in the form of resorts. The amount itself is influenced by the high demand for lodging accommodation especially when the holiday season arrives. But of that number, resorts that have complete and well-maintained facilities and conditions are still not completely even. Based on this fact, the purpose of designing this resort is expected to be the best tourist area in the region to be able to adjust to the conditions of the land conditions, be able to use and not damage the existing land on the design land.The study used in this design is based on the description that occurs today with the support of the literature that supports the theory and analysis that is done. Implementation analysis was carried out using macro and microanalysis methods. Macro analysis is an analysis on a regional scale. While microanalysis is an analysis of the design site, which includes activity analysis, function analysis, space analysis, site analysis, shape analysis, and display and structural analysis and utility.The concept of site and building in this design will produce a conceptual relationship that will later become a guideline in making a design. This concept includes the proposed concept of site design, form, structure, and utility.

Published: August 2019

ABSTRACT : Mosque as a means of worship is very important for Indonesian people who are Muslim majority. Mosques in Indonesia have been numerous and will continue to grow. Environmental issues due to the many building developments have become a global concern today, from the limited natural resources, global warming, climate change, Urban Heat Island (UHI) to its impact on the comfort and health of people. The concept of green architecture has been used to minimize environmental damage from buildings. This design-based research will implement green architecture approach in the mosque design in the context of a particular location to identify problems, possible applications and potential development. The designated location is in the eastern area of Bandung, city gates that has fairly dense place of settlement and transportation.The results showed that green architecture approach with neighborhood perspective criteria can be applied, especially with large scale mosque such as the case. The approach is more holistic and relates to the type of communal building. Criterias such as (1)land ecological enchancement; (2)circulation, movement and connectivity; (3)water management and conservation (4)solid waste and material; (5)community wellbeing strategy; and (6)building and energy, can be applied by combining with various design ideas and responses of site problems. Keywords : Mosque, green architecture, research-based design

Este artigo aborda a dinâmica do ensino e aprendizagem da linguagem teatral em 2 cursos de Licenciatura em Educação do Campo (LEDOC) – da Universidade de Brasília (UnB) e da Universidade Federal do Piauí (UFPI). O que há em comum nesses 2 cursos é a atuação do Terra em Cena, coletivo de teatro e audiovisual que funciona como programa de extensão e grupo de pesquisa, a partir das metodologias de educação popular e do Teatro Político (do Oprimido e Dialético). Experiências de trabalho com as turmas e de formação de grupos teatrais nas comunidades rurais são descritas e analisadas, com o objetivo de compreender em quais aspectos a formação teatral contribui com a formação de educadores em perspectiva emancipatória. Verifica-se que a adoção do Teatro do Oprimido, enquanto método e conteúdo de formação, potencializa as LEDOCs como fronts de resistência cultural e como âmbito fundamental de alargamento da educação popular brasileira.

Re-Establishment and Maintenance of Geodetic Networks in Parts of Oyo State Using Modern Techniques
Authors: I. Blessing Ikharo , N. Ono Matthew , Saheed S. Olaniyi
Published: August 2019

Oyo state like most of the other states in the Nigeria has an old and conventional Geodetic Network. This network was established and computed using the conventional method of position determination and the science of navigation in the 1930- 1950's which is based on the 30th arc-meridian of the Clarke 1880 modified ellipsoid with its origin at L40 Minna datum. This does not satisfy the overgrowing mapping requirements of the state and as well as other Geo-related information requirements. The required data were acquired with GNSS receivers set up on each of the existing points in static mode. The reference network that was re- established consists of eight (8) primary points, covering an area of approximately ?12km?^2 with an average separation of about 7Km. The new network monuments are made of reinforced concrete, solidly cemented in the ground with metal caps (brass markers), and coordinated using the static carrier phase differential GPS measurement. Several observation sessions were conducted and processed to compute 3D coordinates for the network. Post processed data were rigorously adjusted using Least Squares and must meet the distance accuracy specifications for a first order network (1:100,000). Final coordinates are based on WGS84 frame/ ITRF 2008 datum and are within a mean accuracy of ±0. 05m. Finally, the plots of the re-established control points were presented and thus re-established a reliable first order geodetic reference network within Oyo state. Based on the findings the study recommends all geodetic networks in Nigeria should be re- established.

What do participants learn at Group Relations conferences? A report on a conference series on the theme of authority, power, and justice
Authors: Wallach Tracy
Published: August 2019

This article reports findings from evaluation research conducted from three conferences in the Authority, Power, and Justice: Leadership for Change series, convened annually from 2014 to 2016 at Boston College. The conferences have had similar structures and themes, with some slight variations. The highly diversified staff and membership has highlighted the themes of social identity, power, and justice in the conferences. Findings were consistent with prior research that participants do indeed learn at conferences. For both experienced and inexperienced conference members, the process of learning and meaning making is complex, relational, and evolves over time beyond the conference boundaries, and is idiosyncratic and variable. Learning can also occur at a steep cost. Recommendations are offered for enhancing learning and mitigating some of the factors that may interfere with learning. Suggestions involve re-thinking our notions of conference
boundaries and the consulting stance, better integration of conference themes into conference structure, and integration of evaluation processes into conferences.

Published: August 2019

Nationwide surveillance of human prion diseases (also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies), the most common being Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), is performed by the Australian National Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Registry (ANCJDR), based at the University of Melbourne. National surveillance encompasses the period since 1 January 1970, with prospective surveillance occurring from 1 October 1993. Over this prospective surveillance period considerable developments have occurred in relation to pre-mortem diagnostics, the delineation of new disease subtypes and a heightened awareness of prion diseases in health care settings. Surveillance practices of the ANCJDR have evolved and adapted accordingly. This report summarises the activities of the ANCJDR from 1 January to 31 December 2018. Since the ANCJDR began offering diagnostic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 14-3-3 protein testing in Australia in September 1997, the annual number of referrals has steadily increased. In 2018, 465 domestic CSF specimens were referred for 14-3-3 protein testing and 78 persons with suspected human prion disease were formally added to the national register. The majority of the 78 suspect case notifications remain as of 31 December 2018 classified as “incomplete” (42 cases), while eleven cases were excluded by either detailed clinical follow-up (one case) or neuropathological examination (ten cases); 15 cases were classified as “definite” and ten as “probable” prion disease. Sixty-two percent of all suspected human prion disease related deaths underwent neuropathological examination. No cases of variant CJD were confirmed.

Creativity and television drama: a corpus-based multimodal analysis of pattern-reforming creativity in House M.D.
Authors: Law Locky
Published: August 2019

Carter's (2004) theory of creativity in everyday common talk is by far the most influential in the field. He hypothesises that linguistic creativity can be categorised into pattern-forming and pattern-reforming creativity. Television drama, despite its global popularity, receives little attention from the field of linguistics. This paper aims to explore the ‘common ground’ in television drama dialogue and linguistic creativity through deciphering how pattern-reforming creativity is realised through screenplay, telecinemato-graphy and acting as meaning-making strategies. Using dialogues from the TV medical dramedy House M.D., a corpus was created to facilitate the extraction of pattern-reforming creativity such as neologisms, portmanteaus and slang words. The extracted data was then analysed using a corpus linguistic approach to multimodal discourse analysis. The analysis reveals a strong association of pattern-reforming creativity production with actor's facial performance realised interpersonally by certain types of telecinematic resources, such as visual framing, camera angle, camera movement and proxemics. This research is a pioneering effort in linking up linguistic creativity with multimodality and is a positive driving force towards research in teledramatic discourse.
Protograph LDPC Code Design for Asynchronous Random Access
Authors: Clazzer Federico , Matuz Balázs , Jayasooriya Sachini , Shirvanimoghaddam Mahyar , Johnson Sarah J.
Published: August 2019

This work addresses the physical layer channel code design for an uncoordinated, frame- and slot-asynchronous random access protocol. Starting from the observation that collisions between two users yield very specific interference patterns, we define a surrogate channel model and propose different protograph low-density parity-check code designs. The proposed codes are both tested in a setup where the physical layer is abstracted, as well as on a more realistic channel model, where finite-length physical layer simulations of the entire asynchronous random access scheme, including decoding, are carried out. We find that the abstracted physical layer model overestimates the performance when short blocks are considered. Additionally, the optimized codes show gains in supported channel traffic, a measure of the number of terminals that can be concurrently accommodated on the channel, of around 17% at a packet loss rate of 10 − 2 w.r.t. off-the-shelf codes.
Changed Roles and Strategies of Professionals in the (co)Production of Public Services
Authors: van Gestel Nicolette , Kuiper Marlot , Hendrikx Wiljan
Published: August 2019

This paper investigates the changed roles and strategies of professionals in a context of hybrid welfare state reform. This context exposes public professionals to market regulation and rationalization (new public management), and simultaneously expects them to work across professional borders to co-produce public services together with their clients, colleagues and other stakeholders (new public governance). Adopting a comparative perspective, we studied different types of professionals for their views on the implications of this reform mix on their work. Hence, we investigate ‘strategy’ at the macro level of public sector reform and at the micro level of professionals’ responses. The study is based on literature and policy documents, participatory observations and especially (group) interviews with professionals across Dutch hospitals, secondary schools and local agencies for welfare, care or housing. We found that professionals across these sectors, despite their different backgrounds and status, meet highly similar challenges and tensions related to welfare state reform. Moreover, we show that these professionals are not simply passive ‘victims’ of the hybrid context of professionalism, but develop own coping strategies to deal with tensions between different reform principles. The study contributes to understanding new professional roles and coping strategies in welfare state reform, in a context of changing relationships between professions and society.
Rice Blast: A Disease with Implications for Global Food Security
Authors: Asibi Aziiba Emmanuel , Chai Qiang , Coulter Jeffrey A.
Published: August 2019

Rice blast is a serious fungal disease of rice (Oryza sativa L.) that is threatening global food security. It has been extensively studied due to the importance of rice production and consumption, and because of its vast distribution and destructiveness across the world. Rice blast, caused by Pyricularia oryzae Cavara 1892 (A), can infect aboveground tissues of rice plants at any growth stage and cause total crop failure. The pathogen produces lesions on leaves (leaf blast), leaf collars (collar blast), culms, culm nodes, panicle neck nodes (neck rot), and panicles (panicle blast), which vary in color and shape depending on varietal resistance, environmental conditions, and age. Understanding how rice blast is affected by environmental conditions at the cellular and genetic level will provide critical insight into incidence of the disease in future climates for effective decision-making and management. Integrative strategies are required for successful control of rice blast, including chemical use, biocontrol, selection of advanced breeding lines and cultivars with resistance genes, investigating genetic diversity and virulence of the pathogen, forecasting and mapping distribution of the disease and pathogen races, and examining the role of wild rice and weeds in rice blast epidemics. These tactics should be integrated with agronomic practices including the removal of crop residues to decrease pathogen survival, crop and land rotations, avoiding broadcast planting and double cropping, water management, and removal of yield-limiting factors for rice production. Such an approach, where chemical use is based on crop injury and estimated yield and economic losses, is fundamental for the sustainable control of rice blast to improve rice production for global food security.
Effect of the Push-Pull Cropping System on Maize Yield, Stem Borer Infestation and Farmers’ Perception
Authors: Kumela Teshome , Mendesil Esayas , Enchalew Bayu , Kassie Menale , Tefera Tadele
Published: August 2019

The productivity of maize in Ethiopia has remained lower than the world average because of several biotic and abiotic factors. Stemborers and poor soil fertility are among the main factors that contribute to this poor maize productivity. A novel cropping strategy, such as the use of push-pull technology, is one of the methods known to solve both challenges at once. A push-pull technology targeting the management of maize stemborers was implemented in the Hawassa district of Ethiopia with the ultimate goal of increased food security among smallholder farmers. This study evaluated farmers’ perception of push-pull technology based on their experiences and observations of the demonstration plots that were established on-farm in Dore Bafano, Jara Gelelcha and Lebu Koremo village of the Hawasa district in 2016 and 2017. This study examined farmers’ perception of the importance of push-pull technology in controlling stemborers and improving soil fertility and access to livestock feed. In both cropping seasons, except for Jara Gelelcha, the maize grain yields were significantly higher in the climate-adapted push-pull plots compared to the maize monocrop plots. The majority (89%) of push-pull technology-practising farmers rated the technology better than their maize production methods on attributes such as access to new livestock feed and the control of stemborer damage. As a result, approximately 96% of the interviewed farmers were interested in adopting the technology starting in the upcoming crop season. Awareness through training and effective dissemination strategies should be strengthened among stakeholders and policymakers for the sustainable use and scaling-up of push-pull technology.

Published: August 2019

The small heat shock proteins (HSPB) are expressed in response to heat stress, and the heat shock protein family B (small) member 7 (HSPB7) gene has been reported to play an important role in heat tolerance pathways. Only a missense mutation (NC_037329.1: g.136054902 C > G: p.Ala69Gly) was identified in the HSPB7 gene in indicine cattle, which might be a candidate mutation associated with the heat tolerance. Here, we explore the allele frequency of this mutation in 774 individuals belonging to 32 Chinese indigenous cattle breeds using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing methods. The distribution of alleles of NC_037329.1: g.136054902 C > G displays significant geographical difference across native Chinese cattle breeds that the allele C was dominant in northern cattle groups, while allele G was dominant in southern indicine cattle groups. Additionally, the association analysis indicated that the G allele was significantly associated with mean annual temperature (T), relative humidity (RH), and temperature humidity index (THI) (p < 0.01), suggesting that cattle carrying allele G were distributed in regions with higher T, RH, and THI. Our results demonstrate that the mutation of the HSPB7 gene in Chinese indicine cattle might be a candidate gene associated with the heat tolerance.

The purpose of the study is to determine the nutritional characteristics of some by-products derived from fruit juice and olive oil production to evaluate their use in pig nutrition. Five by-products of citrus fruit (three citrus fruit pulp and two molasses) and three by-products of olive oil (olive cake) obtained by different varieties are analysed for chemical composition. The fermentation characteristics are evaluated in vitro using the gas production technique with swine faecal inoculum. All the citrus by-products are highly fermentable, producing gas and a high amount of short-chain fatty acids. The fermentation kinetics vary when comparing pulps and molasses. Citrus fruit pulps show lower and slower fermentation rates than molasses. The olive oil by-products, compared to citrus fruits ones, are richer in NDF and ADL. These characteristics negatively affect all the fermentation parameters. Therefore, the high concentration of fiber and lipids represents a key aspect in the nutrition of fattening pigs. The preliminary results obtained in this study confirm that the use of by-products in pig nutrition could represent a valid opportunity the reduce the livestock economic cost and environmental impact.

The aim of this trial was to study the agreement between the non-dispersive infrared methane analyzer (NDIR) method and the hand held laser methane detector (LMD). Methane (CH4) was measured simultaneously with the two devices totaling 164 paired measurements. The repeatability of the CH4 concentration was greater with the NDIR (0.42) than for the LMD (0.23). However, for the number of peaks, repeatability of the LMD was greater (0.20 vs. 0.14, respectively). Correlation was moderately high and positive for CH4 concentration (0.73 and 0.74, respectively) and number of peaks (0.72 and 0.72, respectively), and the repeated measures correlation and the individual-level correlation were high (0.98 and 0.94, respectively). A moderate concordance correlation coefficient was observed for the CH4 concentration (0.62) and for the number of peaks (0.66). A moderate-high coefficient of individual agreement for the CH4 concentration (0.83) and the number of peaks (0.77) were observed. However, CH4 concentrations population means and all variance components differed between instruments. In conclusion, methane concentration measurements obtained by means of NDIR and LMD cannot be used interchangeably. The joint use of both methods could be considered for genetic selection purposes or for mitigation strategies only if sources of disagreement, which result in different between-subject and within-subject variabilities, are identified and corrected for.

Myrciaria species are widely studied to identify their chemical composition and evaluate their biological activity. Since evidence supporting the potential antioxidant and antiproliferative activity of Myrciaria tenella is lacking, the aim of this work was to evaluate these activities in six different leaf extracts: hexane (CHE), chloroform (CCE), ethanolic (CEE), methanolic (CME), aqueous final (CFAE), and only aqueous (CAE). The presence of phenolic compounds, tannin, saponin, and ursolic acid was determined by thin layer chromatography (TLC). CEE, CME, and CFAE showed in vitro antioxidant activity at the initiation, propagation, and termination stages of oxidative damage. Moreover, no toxicity was observed in the 3T3 non-cancerous cell line. On the other hand, all extracts promoted cell death in the tumor cell lines human cervical adenocarcinoma cell line (HeLa) and human stomach gastric adenocarcinoma cell line (AGS). Based on these results, the effect of CEE on the AGS cell line was analyzed using flow cytometry, and necrosis and late apoptosis were observed. Finally, the Caenorhabditis elegans model showed that CEE was able to reduce the basal reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) analysis showed rutin as the major compound in CEE. Therefore, Myrciaria tenella fresh leaves may be potential sources of molecules possessing antioxidant and antiproliferative activities.

Biogenic amines are important indicators of food quality with recognized antioxidant capacity. Diets that are rich in these compounds promote several benefits for human health, although the consumption in excess may result in food poisoning. This study aims to screen the levels of biogenic amines in four colored cauliflowers, before and after cooking (boiling, steaming, and microwaving). In addition, the levels of tryptophan and 5-hydroxytryptophan, two serotonin precursors, were analyzed. Our results reveal that thermal processing shows a tendency to increase tryptophan levels and reduce 5-hydroxytryptophan in colored cauliflowers. A reduction of the tryptophan and increase in serotonin contents in ‘Cheddar’, steamed or microwaved, was observed. A higher level of histamine was observed in the genotype ‘Forata’ after cooking, whereas melatonin levels were higher after steaming and microwaving. The lowest levels of biogenic amines and amino acids were observed in ‘Graffiti’. All the colored cauliflowers that were analyzed presented a chemical quality index (CQI) below the pre-established limits, indicating that are safe for consumption, even after cooking. We conclude that the levels of biogenic amines and amino acids in colored cauliflower are safe for human consumption and do not present health risks. Therefore, the consumption of these genotypes, raw or cooked, is a good source of bioactive compounds.

This work aimed to investigate whether automated classifiers belonging to feature-based and deep learning may approach brain metastases segmentation successfully. Support Vector Machine and V-Net Convolutional Neural Network are selected as representatives of the two approaches. In the experiments, we consider several configurations of the two methods to segment brain metastases on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance images. Performances were evaluated and compared under critical conditions imposed by the clinical radiotherapy domain, using in-house dataset and public dataset created for the Multimodal Brain Tumour Image Segmentation (BraTS) challenge. Our results showed that the feature-based and the deep network approaches are promising for the segmentation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain metastases achieving both an acceptable level of performance. Experimental results also highlight different behaviour between the two methods. Support vector machine (SVM) improves performance with a smaller training set, but it is unable to manage a high level of heterogeneity in the data and requires post-processing refinement stages. The V-Net model shows good performances when trained on multiple heterogeneous cases but requires data augmentations and transfer learning procedures to optimise its behaviour. The paper illustrates a software package implementing an integrated set of procedures for active support in segmenting brain metastases within the radiotherapy workflow.

Bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) is expected to be promising material for photovoltaic devices since it has good activity under the visible range. Here, we studied the annealing treatment on BiOI and its effect on the photovoltaic application. Firstly, the synthesized BiOI from Bi(NO3)3 and KI was annealed at varied temperatures (100–550 °C). The structural investigation by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy analysis was supported with morphology and optical analysis by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and UV-Visible spectroscopy. Due to the heating treatment, it could result in iodine-deficient bismuth-based materials, namely Bi7O9I3, Bi5O7I, and β-Bi2O3. Secondly, the photovoltaic test measurement was performed by solar simulator air mass (AM) 1.5 illumination which presented the current-voltage curve from each material. The enhancement of photovoltaic performance was given by the increase of temperature up to 300 °C. At that temperature, the performance of the device which consisted of Bi7O9I3 achieved three times higher efficiency than the annealed parent BiOI at 100 °C. Hence, the structural changing owing to the oxygen addition to BiOI structure had an impact on the photoelectrochemical cell. Based on this work, it is possible to attempt BiOI derivation with suitable holes and electron transport layers for better photovoltaic performance.
