A decidable weakening of Compass Logic based on cone-shaped cardinal directions
Authors: Montanari Angelo , Puppis Gabriele , Sala Pietro
Published: November 2016

We introduce a modal logic, called Cone Logic, whose formulas describe
properties of points in the plane and spatial relationships between them.
Points are labelled by proposition letters and spatial relations are induced by
the four cone-shaped cardinal directions. Cone Logic can be seen as a weakening
of Venema's Compass Logic. We prove that, unlike Compass Logic and other
projection-based spatial logics, its satisfiability problem is decidable
(precisely, PSPACE-complete). We also show that it is expressive enough to
capture meaningful interval temporal logics - in particular, the interval
temporal logic of Allen's relations "Begins", "During", and "Later", and their
transposes.
Weak topologies for Linear Logic
Authors: Kerjean Marie
Published: November 2016

We construct a denotational model of linear logic, whose objects are all the
locally convex and separated topological vector spaces endowed with their weak
topology. The negation is interpreted as the dual, linear proofs are
interpreted as continuous linear functions, and non-linear proofs as sequences
of monomials. We do not complete our constructions by a double-orthogonality
operation. This yields an interpretation of the polarity of the connectives in
terms of topology.
History-Register Automata
Authors: Grigore Radu , Tzevelekos Nikos
Published: November 2016

Programs with dynamic allocation are able to create and use an unbounded
number of fresh resources, such as references, objects, files, etc. We propose
History-Register Automata (HRA), a new automata-theoretic formalism for
modelling such programs. HRAs extend the expressiveness of previous approaches
and bring us to the limits of decidability for reachability checks. The
distinctive feature of our machines is their use of unbounded memory sets
(histories) where input symbols can be selectively stored and compared with
symbols to follow. In addition, stored symbols can be consumed or deleted by
reset. We show that the combination of consumption and reset capabilities
renders the automata powerful enough to imitate counter machines, and yields
closure under all regular operations apart from complementation. We moreover
examine weaker notions of HRAs which strike different balances between
expressiveness and effectiveness.
Quasipolynomial Normalisation in Deep Inference via Atomic Flows and Threshold Formulae
Authors: Bruscoli Paola , Guglielmi Alessio , Gundersen Tom , Parigot Michel
Published: November 2016

Je\v{r}\'abek showed that cuts in classical propositional logic proofs in
deep inference can be eliminated in quasipolynomial time. The proof is indirect
and it relies on a result of Atserias, Galesi and Pudl\'ak about monotone
sequent calculus and a correspondence between that system and cut-free
deep-inference proofs. In this paper we give a direct proof of Je\v{r}\'abek's
result: we give a quasipolynomial-time cut-elimination procedure for classical
propositional logic in deep inference. The main new ingredient is the use of a
computational trace of deep-inference proofs called atomic flows, which are
both very simple (they only trace structural rules and forget logical rules)
and strong enough to faithfully represent the cut-elimination procedure.

This research was conducted in the northern part of the Muria Peninsula. This study uses observation and sampling based on toposequences transects. The northern Muria Peninsula is a complex area. Landscape in this region is strongly influenced by volcanism in the past of Muria Volcano and Genuk Volcano also geomorphological processes such as fluvial and marine. Potential resources in the northern part of the Muria Peninsula such as potential for marine, mining, agriculture, farming, and tourism. Muria Peninsula regional management should be adapted to the potential and function of each area, so that will not cause environmental degradation.
Farmers Commitment in Maintaining Wetted land Ownership Status in Peri-Urban Area of Yogyakarta
Authors: Sudrajat Sudrajat
Published: November 2016

The existance of wetted land in Peri-urban Yogyakarta can not separated from the farmer’s commitment. This research is aimed to analyze farmer’s commitment in maintaining wetted land ownership status in Peri-Urban Yogyakarta and to identify its influencing factors. This research is conducted in peri-urban area of Yogyakarta by taking some wettted land’s owners who are active in farming, as the respondents. The meaurement of farmer’s commitment indicators are done by likert scale. The result indicated that farmers in Peri-urban area of Yogyakarta have low commitment in maintaining wetted land ownership status.  Low level of farmer’s commitment are reflected from the low commitment to prevent the desire to sell the wetted land,  to rent out the wetted land for non-agricultural use and to change the wetted land for non-agricultural use. This research also indicated that the low commitment is also significantly influenced by wetted land price, wetted land location, and its social value.
The spatial effect of fiscal decentralisation on regional disparities: the case from Indonesia
Authors: Aritenang Adiwan F.
Published: November 2016

This study investigates the effect of decentralization on regional economic convergence between 1994 and 2004. Using spatial analysis, this research explains the presence of spatial dependence, which it is misleading to ignore it on the common linear regression. The paper argues that there is a strong evidence of spatial autocorrelation among.Indonesia districts and regional convergence rate is higher in the decentralization period. Furthermore, the spatial error model suggested that, despite Jakarta’s major economic and political role, a random shock is insignificant if it introduced to the capital city.
Estimation of Carbon Stock Changes in Above Ground Woody Biomass due to Volcano Pyroclastic Flow and Pyroclastic Surge
Authors: Wardani Selli Fidi Yani
Published: November 2016

Merapi Volcano National Park (MVNP) is susceptible to volcanic hazard since it is located around Merapivolcano, especially pyroclastic flow. Carbon sequestration in the national park is becoming a priority of forest developmentas stipulated in Government Regulation Number 28 Year 2011 and Number 49 Year 2011. This study aims to knowthe effect of pyroclastic event to carbon stock in MVNP. In this study the natural carbon rate recovery in MVNP wasestimated to determine the growth rate of natural carbon recovery in MVNP. To estimate carbon stock change in MVNP,2006 QuickBird and 2011 GeoEye satellite imageries were used. Object based image segmentation of high resolutionsatellites imagery could recognize physical dimensions of individual trees such as crown projection area (CPA). In thisstudy, carbon stock was derived using allometric equation based on measured diameter at breast height (DBH) in thefield. A model was developed to estimate carbon stock based on DBH estimation in the field and segmented CPA fromthe image. Based on the segmentation process, the model of CPA and Carbon in MVNP was developed. The F scorewhich indicate the accuracy of segmentation of needle leaf and broadleaved of 2011 GeoEye were 0.68 and 0.54 respectively.Logarithmic model which has 6.37 % error was used to estimate broadleaved carbon stock while quadratic modelwhich has 10.31 % error was used to estimate Pine tree carbon stock in MVNP.

Authors: Setiawan Heru , Kingma Nanette C. , Westen C.J. Van
Published: November 2016

Analysis of people perception and analysis of the coping strategy to landslides are the two elements that are es-sential to determine the level of preparedness of communities to landslides. To know the preparedness of government and other stakeholders in facing landslide, the analysis risk governance framework was required. A survey using questionnaires with random sampling was applied to assess the level of people perception and people coping strategy related to landslide. Analysis of risk governance frame work was done at the district and sub-district level. ἀe study found that people perception related with landslide dominated by high and moderate level. Age and education are two factors that inḀuence the people’s perception to landslide. Local people applied four types coping strategy, which are: economic, structural, social and cultural coping strategy. Totally, 51.6% respondents have high level, 33.3% have moderate level and only 15.1% respondents that have low level of coping strategy. ἀe factors that inḀuence the level of coping strategy are education, income and building type.  Analysis of risk governance framework is limited to the three components including stakeholder involvement, risk management and risk communication. Based on the data analysis, the level of stakeholder involvement at the district scope was categorized on the moderate till high and the level of stakeholder involvement at sub-district level was categorized on the high level. Generally, the risk management of Karanganyar was categorized on the moderate level and high level and the risk management in Tawangmangu was categorized on the moderate level. ἀere are some elements must be improved on the risk governance framework, those are data management, the pattern of relationships among stakeholders, increased participation of NGOs, constructed and updated landslide risk map, enhancement of microᴀnance role in helping the com-munity when disaster strikes and  dissemination of information about the landslide to the local community.
Agricultural Loss Caused by 2007 Sidoharjo’s Flood and its House-hold Impact
Authors: Widiarto Leo Agung , Kingma Nanette
Published: November 2016

Flood is an undeniable reality that threaten Sidoharjo Village, as part of Sragen District. It is affected by the presence of Mungkung River, the tributary of Solo River, which crosses in the area. It is certainly going to be one of the factors inhibiting the development and economic growth in the region, given the agricultural sector is one of the backbones of the economy potentially disturbed by the flood. The information about the flood and its impacts specifically related to agriculture are needed to determine the precise policies. The research focuses on 2007-flood mapping, agricultural production loss assessment, and farmer resilience, as expressed in their ability to continue the next cropping after being hitten by the 2007-flood. The flood map was built by integrating the local knowledge and the Digital Terrain Model (DTM). The information about 2007 flood was collected by interviewing the local people. The DTM was built by interpolating the detailed spot height directly measured in the field. As the result of the integration, the depth of the flood immersing the paddy fields reaches approximately 3 meters.  Beside the flood depth, the growth stage of rice also determines the paddy vulnerability. It refers to the plant height and the sensitivity to the water immersion.  There are three stages i.e. vegetative, generative, and graining phases. The vulnerabilities were constructed based on the synthetic data obtained via Focus Group Discussion (FGD).  The production loss of paddy of the research area was counted based on the vulnerability. A grid-based GIS method is used in the loss calculation which produces a value of Rp. 1,137,350,000.00 (about USD 100,000.00). The losses influence the farmer ability to continue the cultivation in the next season, which in this study is defined as farmer resilience. To investigate the resilience level, 32 respondents were proportionally randomized to each flood zone. There are three zones created based on the flood depth. The influencing factors and their weights and scores were determined by the farmer representatives via FGD. Meanwhile, the socioeconomic data were collected by using the questionnaires. The results show that most of the farmers in the area (56.3%) are categorized in moderate resilience level.

Authors: Nugroho Bayu Dwi Apri
Published: November 2016

Although there has been a high relationship between global climate and rainfall in Indonesia, little evidence is available for relationship between Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and rainfall pattern in highland of country. This study evaluates the relationships between Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and rainfall distribution pattern in Gunungkidul district, highland of South-Central Java, Indonesia. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) approach was used to summarize the average of SSTs during rainy season (October to March) for the El Niño monitoring regions: IOBW (Indian Ocean Basin-Wide), Niño.West and Niño.3. Monthly rainfall data was collected from Agricultural Government of Gunungkidul district. In this area, rainfall was highest in the southern and western mountainous areas, especially near the coast, and SSTs values were highly correlated with rainfall in those areas. Almost all sub districts in Gunungkidul district has significant correlations between PC1 SSTs and rainfall during October-November-December (OND).
Effects of Management Practices on Soil Nutrient Levels in Sabke Catchment Area, Nigeria
Authors: Mashi S.A , Yaro A.
Published: November 2016

In Nigeria’s drylands, profitable crop production requires adequate soil fertility management. This study examines the effects of farmer-managed practices on soil fertility in Sabke catchment of the drylands. Seven sites under permanent cropland, fallow land, grassland, shrubland, orchard land, intercropping land and woodland distributed on four transects were selected across the catchment. At every site, five replicate soil samples were collected from 0-15cm (topsoil) and 20-30cm (subsoil) and analysed for C, N, P, Ca, Mg, K and Na. Higher topsoil values of most of the properties were observed under cropland and intercropping sites. The two cultivated plots receive annual applications of organic manure in addition to chemical fertilizer and crops residue retention while the other plots are not. Thus, improvement in soil organic matter and nutrients would be expected in soils of the area with high rate of application of manure and chemical fertilizer, and retention of crop residues
THE CULTURAL RELEVANCE OF INDONESIAN PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS AS CONTRASTED WITH POLISH
Authors: Wiatrowski Przemysław
Published: November 2016

This article discusses Indonesian set phrases, a research area not previously investigated by Polish scholars. The aim is to analyze expressions which reveal the cultural specificity of the Indonesian speech community. Specifically, the author is concerned with two categories of multiword expressions. One of them is lexical combinations which preserve observations characteristic of the Indonesian speech community. These are reflected in a system of lexical connotations drawn upon in the process of semantic motivation of idioms. The other is expressions made up of units which are specific to Indonesian culture. The cultural relevance of Indonesian multi-word combinations is examined against the background of the Polish language. By examining research material derived from dictionaries of phrases and collocations and general dictionaries of the Indonesian language, the author provides insights into the way of thinking and responding to reality which is embedded in the language and in the collective experience of members of the Indonesian community.
THE GROUP CONCEPT OF BUILDING RASO BATALUN IN THE PERFORMANCE OF TALEMPONG RENJEANG ANAM SALABUHAN
Authors: Sastra Andar Indra
Published: November 2016

The goal of this article is to discuss talempong renjeang anam salabuhan as a cultural artefact, in particular focusing on the group concept of building raso batalun in the performance of talempong renjeang anam salabuhan in Luhak Nan Tigo, Minangkabau. Raso batalun in the performance of talempong is the musical expression created by the talempong player through the rhythmic treatment of the talempong. The expression produced in a talempong performance can be understood to reflect the musical ability of the talempong group in its performance of various types of Guguah talempong. A group is the representation of a social concept in Minangkabau society. Some talempong groups are formed on the basis of common goals and interests without any family connections; other groups are formed through family ties; and others are formed based on genealogical connections. A musical unit is built through musical communication between the talempong players through different rhythmic patterns. This musical communication can be achieved when the players in the group have the same level of perception, ability, and sense of musicality. It is this perception and sense of musicality which are the initial foundations on which a talempong performance is built, in accordance with the musical standard of each group. It is believed that a high musical standard will not be reached if the role of a particular player is taken over by another player from outside the group. The group plays an important role in building a musical unit and a musical standard in order to achieve raso batalun.

Authors: Basuki Teguh , Arum Candra H. Arifah
Published: November 2016

The industrialization which developed in the 19th century France had brought both positive and negative impacts. Some of the negative impacts are the rising number of labors, the emergence of inter class conflicts, social problems such as prostitution, and the oppression of lower class women. This research will discuss about the life of lower class women depicted in the novel L’Assommoir by Émile Zola, as the portrayal of the reality in the French Second Empire. The analysis uses qualitative descriptive technique and applies Foucaults’s theory on social exclusion, Beauvoir’s theory of second sex, and also gender theory. The analysis shown that Zola criticize the inequalities in the life of lower class women under Second Empire. It also shows that lower class women excluded from the ‘grand’ discourse in French society. The exclusion process which is done by society and supported by the State at that time regarded as a normal thing and ‘taken for granted’.

Published: November 2016

Greetings are one of the tangible proofs of human communications. One greets someone else because of the need to communicate. In this communication, the relationship between the two people communicating influences the choice of greeting forms. The selection of a greeting is assumed to be closely related to the language attitudes and perspectives of the speaker in positioning himself against the hearer. During its development, the use of greetings has shown a quite interesting dynamics. This comprises the development of greeting use, shift of greeting reference, and changes in the acts of greeting. This paper aims to describe the term of addressing used by the society, analiyzing manner and logic structure of the term of addressing, also the actualization and the dynamics of the usage of the term of addressing. Furthermore, to obtain varied data the author determines a population consisting of a number of groups, especially university students. This is with the assumption that in addition to their age level where they are highly productive in using greetings, it is also possible that they have example forms of greetings and acts of greeting. Using speech act theory in sociolinguistics approach data was achieved with observation method in questioner and cards of data. The result of classification was analized with introspection, comparation, and equal-referential method which is formed in formal and informal description. From a number of semi-closed questionnaires listing questions about attitudes and selections of greeting the author obtains some results. These are a mapping of common greeting forms used by people in general, the background of common greeting forms used by people, and the actualization as well as dynamics of the use of greeting forms in Indonesian speech society.
KONSTRUKSI IDENTITAS DALAM SASTRA TERJEMAHAN EROPA ERA 1900-1930 DAN REAKSINYA DALAM SASTRA INDONESIA
Authors: Prasojo Albertus , Susanto Dwi
Published: November 2016

Sastra Indonesia masa 1900-1930 tidak terlepas dari reaksi atas sastra terjemahan Eropa. Reaksi itu diasumsikan sebagai wujud perlawanan kultural atas konstruksi identitas keindonesiaan atau masyarakat terjajah. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi strategi dari konstruksiidentitas dalam sastra terjemahan Eropa dan reaksinya dalam sastra Indonesia. Teks yang digunakan adalah Robinson Crusoe karya Daniel Defoe, Salah Asoehan (1928) karya Abdul Moeis, dan Nona Tjoe Joe (1922) karya Tio Ie Soei. Dengan menggunakan sudut pandang pascakolonial, strategi dan reaksi terhadap konstruksi identitas itu diwujudkan dalam beberapa hal. Pertama, Robinson Crusoe menawarkan identitas manusia super, terlepas dari lingkungan dan membawa kebudayaannya sebagai kekuatan, menguasai dan mengkontrol lingkungan dan mempertunjukan nafsu kolonial. Kedua, Salah Asoehan (1928) menolak konstruksi identitas tersebut dengan menghadirkan manusia yang tidak dapat melepaskan diri dari lingkungan, adat, tradisi, dan asal usulnya. Sementara itu, Nona Tjoe Joe (1922) merepresentasikan identitas yang ambigu, terpecah, dan berada di antara dua pilihan: Barat dan Timur.

In the realm of Malay manuscript researches, the aspect of technology has been given little attention to be researched in a serious and specific manner. Even less is the study focused on the correlation between the Malay technology and Islamic civilization. This article seeks to shed light on the matter and discusses the Malay technology dealing with the use of hand-held firearms which was possibly inherited from the Islamic sources found in the Malay manuscripts. In particular, this article tries to analyse the mysticism elements which seems to be the underlying idea of the indigenous knowledge of firearm technology. The knowledge of such technology and its application are believed to have been practiced by individuals or groups of individuals in the Malay civilization till the 19th mid-century.
HUMANITIES IN INDONESIA FOR A GLOBAL AGE
Authors: Reid Anthony
Published: November 2016

The 70th  Anniversary provides an opportunity for reflection on the development of the Humanities in Indonesia, the achievements and the disappointments of a remarkable period. Indonesian Humanities scholars, and specifically those at UGM, have much to be proud of. They have built professional critical methods in a completely new language and context, without losing the critical approach to evidence. There have however been some disappointments and losses. Bahasa Indonesia’s gain has been many other languages’ loss. There is a danger that Humanities, in Indonesia as everywhere, may allow themselves to be restricted to a kind of heritage industry, preserving and coding the culture of ‘us’, as opposed to the complex interactions of the planet and beyond. The best way to counter the long-term decline of Humanities in the university may be the opposite, to embrace cultural diversity and interdependence.
THE DEPICTION OF HOMOSEXUALITY IN AMERICAN MOVIES
Authors: Rudy Rudy
Published: November 2016

This study focuses on the depiction of homosexuality in American films. It is intended to identify the images of gays depicted in American films as well as the characteristics of American gay movies. It incorporates library research by applying an analytical descriptive approach in analyzing the data. The symbol and reflective theory is used to analyze 18 American movies and 14 gay films from other countries in the early 2000s. It shows that gay films can attract audiences by describing gays as the objects for laughs; gays revealing their sexual identities; sexual scenes of gays; masculine gay men; and violence in gay life. They appear in genres like drama, comedy, romance, detective, western, and horror/mystery with two images of gay people shown in American gay movies; they are the portrait of gays as a minority and the pessimism. However, it also shows that some American gay films picture good gay life, happy gay couples, gay marriage, etc.
THE POSITION OF LOW MALAY SHORT STORIES IN THE HISTORY OF INDONESIAN LITERATURE
Authors: Pujiharto Pujiharto , Sudibyo Sudibyo
Published: November 2016

This article tries to determine the factors causing the Low Malay short stories became unaccounted, especially those that were collected in Miss Koelit Koetjing (2005), in the constellation of the history of modern Indonesian literature. To answer these problems, this paper explores the criteria applied by the author of the history of Indonesian literature, comparing it with the Low Malay short stories, and relates them to their cultural historical context.The results showed the reason that Low Malay short stories collected in Miss Koelit Koetjing were not accounted, are caused by the following factors. First, most of the short stories still retain the traditional genres, such as hikayat (saga) and fairy tales, which show the strength of the cultural orientation of the past. Second, the authors of short stories are not natives; the author is not in the sense of the creator, the creator, but a storyteller, just to recount a story that has been there before. Third, short stories were published in newspapers and not in the book form. Fourth, the world of their stories came from diverse cultures and not from the world of the Indonesian archipelago. With a similar reality, it can be concluded that the short stories collected in Miss Koelit Koetjing, in the broad realm of Low Malay literature, is a literary tradition of its own in the constelation history of Indonesian literature.

Published: November 2016

This paper focuses on one the subcultures existing in Japan, known as otaku. Subculture is a forum for youth community media and technology enthusiasts, like manga (Japanese comics), anime (Japanese cartoons), video games, computers, and the Internet. In the process, otaku who initially labeled negatively has contributed significantly to Japan as the most advanced industrialized country in Asia, not only in the field of culture, but also in the fields of science and economics. Using data from Japanese poem anthology (senryu) in Otaku Senryu(OS), this paper focuses on 1) distinctiveness of otaku character and; 2) factors supporting construction of otaku’s character. The method applies Riffaterre’s semiotic approach. The result obtained is that the otaku distinctiveness lies in their tendency to not be able to escape media and technology. Media and technology have transformed them into a difficult person in interacting and communicating directly with others as they have become introverted, obsessive, and also consumptive.
Social Criticism in Indonesian Literary Works during the New Order Era
Authors: Sudewa I Ketut
Published: November 2016

The literary works written and published during the New Order era were used as the data in this article. During this era there were many literary works which contained social criticisms towards the New Order government. The study focuses on the literary work in the form of poems, and employed the qualitative research method. The theory of literary sociology was used as the main theory while the structural theory and semiotic theory were used as the supporting theories. The social criticisms and meaning which were transmitted by the poets through their poems could be optimally revealed using these theories. The result of the study shows that the poems written by the poets during the New Order era, especially those written by Taufiq Ismail contained a lot of social criticisms; he criticized the law, human rights, politics, education and economy implemented by the New Order government. Such social criticisms were shown through different poetic elements such as the diction, language style, and rhetoric. The social criticisms expressed by Taufic Ismail reflected that Indonesia (the readers) should refer back to the nation’s identity and character as stated in the Five Principles ‘Pancasila’ and the 1945 Constitution.

Published: November 2016

The fall of the New Order regime in May 1998 has brought about remarkable political shifts in the Indonesian government. A large number of laws and regulations were enacted during the first five years after the retirement of President Suharto, which indicates a serious attempt to change the political orientation of the State. Yusuf and Sterkens (2015) have investigated that more than 200 laws were enacted by Parliament during the first five years after the retirement of President Suharto. This also happens with laws on education, for instance Law No. 20/2003. Parliament’s approval on 20 June 2003 of Law No. 20/2003 concerning the national education system has raised many questions, specifically with regard to the aim of national education. The National Education, according to Law No. 20/2003, aims to develop students who have strong religious commitment (faithfulness) and religious devotion (piousness) to their own religion.

Cytogenetic analysis of rat pancreatic cell cultures at early passages
Authors: Kovpak V. , Kovpak O.
Published: November 2016

Cell culture obtained from the pancreas can serve as a source of physiologically competent substitute for primary islets of Langerhans in the treatment of diabetes. However, it is possible to obtain the required number of cells only at long-term cultivation in vitro. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the risks of neoplastic transformation of cells in vitro before transplantation.Materials and methods. Cell culture was obtained by explant method from pancreas of 12-day-old rats. Cell cultures of the first to sixth passages were used for the cytogenetic analysis. In this study the number of cells with altered karyotype, cells with micronuclei, binucleated cells and the cells in a state of apoptosis were considered, mitotic index was calculated.Results. Aneuploid cells were noted at all passages in an amount of 2.2 % (1st) to 16.6 % (4th). Polyploidy manifested in a population of cells from the second (1.1 %) to the sixth passage (4.4 %) with a maximum at passage four (7.8 %). A significant increase in their number was observed since the second passage (0.3 %). We have seen a significant increase in the number of binucleated cells from the first (0.1 %) to the sixth passage (0.8 %). During the study there was a decrease in mitotic index from the first (2.7 %), to the third passage (1.5 %) and its gradual increase in fourth (1.7 %) and sixth (2.0 %) passages. In addition, there was discovered a small percentage of cells in apoptosis, their number gradually increased to the 4th passage (0.5 %). The 5th-6th passages showed decrease in the number of apoptotic cells to 0.1 %.Conclusion. There have been revealed changes in the rat pancreatic cells culture as aneuploidies, polyploidies and micronuclei, the intensity of which varied depending on the passage. However, karyotype variability of mentioned cell did not exceed the level of spontaneous mutations characteristic of mammalians.
Information arrival and volatility: Evidence from the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul)
Authors: Ezzat Hassan , Kirkulak-Uludag Berna
Published: November 2016

This paper investigates the validation of the Mixture of Distributions
Hypothesis (MDH) using trading volume and number of trades as contemporaneous
proxies for information arrival in 15 sector indices of the Saudi Stock
Exchange (Tadawul) using the TGARCH model. Findings provide strong evidence
for the validity of the MDH for the Saudi market. Volatility persistence
decreases when the trading volume and the number of trades are included in
the conditional variance equation. The most striking finding is that
contemporaneous number of trades is a better proxy for information arrival
than trading volume, interacting with volatility in a manner anticipated
under the MDH. This can be attributed to the unique characteristic of the

A Review on Multicommodity Urban Evacuation Problem
Authors: Acharya Gopal Prasad , Khadka Shree Ram
Published: November 2016

Urban evacuation regards as a critical course of action that helps to re-locate the maximum number of people and property from the disaster zone of the urban area to the safe zone within the shortest possible time. Multi-commodity urban evacuation problem (MCUEP) explores and identifies the re-construction of the traffic routes to be followed in evacuation with the mobility of two or more types of the vehicles allowing two way streets. The idea of the paper is to introduce a multi-commodity urban evacuation traffic routing modeling with the bus commodity and the vehicle commodity in the street segment and intersection segment where the crossing and merging cannot be prohibited. The evacuation is made effective by sending and re-sending the buses (if necessary) and using the personal vehicles for once. The paper will give a review of MCUEP as the state of the art basically designed as a mixed integer model functioning as the remedy of the shortcomings of one-way evacuation model and put forwards a brief discussion of the solution approaches.Journal of Institute of Science and TechnologyVolume 21, Issue 1, August 2016, page: 19-27

Published: November 2016

This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites of musk deer in Langtang National Park, Nepal. A total of 9 fecal samples were collected systematically and analyzed using standard procedures during May-June, 2014. Overall 7 species of parasites including 4 nematodes, 1 cestode, 1 trematode and 1 protozoan parasite were recorded. Prevalence of Ascaris sp. was high (88.89%) followed by Eimeria sp. (77.78%), Trichuris sp. (66.67%), Strongyloides sp. (55.56%), Moniezia sp. (44.44%), Strongyle (44.44%) and Paramphistomum sp. (44.44%). Most of the samples had heavy parasitic infestation and multiple parasites were also observed in same individual. The high parasitic prevalence might have adverse health impact on musk deer. The possibility of cross-transmission of parasites between livestock and wildlife in Langtang National Park should be studied in future.Journal of Institute of Science and TechnologyVol. 21, No. 1, 2016, Page: 71-75

Published: November 2016

Nickel-Silicon Carbide (Ni-SiC) composite coating has been prepared by two electrode electrochemical co-deposition technique in nickel sulfamate bath. The Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was added in bath as cationic surfactant whereas saccharine as a grain modifier. The effect of current density during deposition was systematically studied and optimized to get homogeneous surface texture with utmost microhardness and deprived coefficient of friction. The result revealed that 60 mA/cm2 current density was found to be the optimum current density which showed the highest microhardness of 590 ± 10 Hv and lowest coefficient of friction with regular surface morphology.Journal of Institute of Science and TechnologyVol. 21, No. 1, 2016, Page : 82-85
Synthesis, Surface and Biological Activities of Cationic Surfactants Based on Glycine Moiety
Authors: Abdel-Salam Fatma H. , Baker Sharbat A.
Published: November 2016

Two series of cationic surfactants based on glycine molecule as sulfonate salt of N,N-diethyl glycine fatty esters having a hydrocarbon chain length of C12,C16 and C18 followed by quaternerization with ethyl iodide were synthesized. Their chemical structures were confirmed using IR,1H-NMR, and mass spectroscopy. The surface activity of these amphiphiles has been determined by measurement of their surface tension. Parameters like surface tension (γ), critical micelle concentration (cmc), effectiveness (Πcmc), efficiency (pC20), maximum surface excess (Γmax), minimum surface area (Amin) and Gibbs free energy of the micellization (ΔGmic) and adsorption (ΔGads) have been determined from the measurements obtained by surface tension method. All these surfactants showed much lower CMC values compared to the similar hydrophobic chain length surfactant. All synthesized compounds have been evaluated for their biological activity against bacteria and fungi.
Solubility and Durability of Cardanol Derived Plasticizers for Soft PVC

Published: November 2016

The aim of this work is the analysis of the suitability of cardanol derivatives as primary plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Cardanol derived plasticizers (CDP) were obtained by acetylation of cardanol, followed by epoxidation of the side chain double bonds. The developed procedures allowed to achieve high yields of acetylated cardanol, whereas plasticizers characterized by different yields of epoxidation were obtained, according to the used synthesis procedure. Rheological analysis was used in order to study the gelation process of PVC plastisols with CDP. A comparison of commercial phthalate and natural derived plasticizers showed that the CDP are characterized by adequate gelation properties, involving a complete absorption of the plasticizers at relatively low temperatures. The gelation properties showed a strong dependence on the yield of the epoxidation. In particular, lower gelation temperatures, higher plasticizer absorption and faster gelation were observed for higher epoxy content in the plasticizer. Finally, ageing tests were performed on soft PVC produced by the CDP. The weight loss of soft PVC with CDP is comparable to that of commercial plasticizers, particularly at high yields of epoxidation.
Thirty Years of Modeling of Injection Molding. A Brief Review of the Contribution of UNISA Code to the Field
Authors: Pantani R. , Speranza V. , Titomanlio G.
Published: November 2016

UNISA code, a software for the analysis and modeling of injection molding, was born at the University of Palermo in Italy in the 1980s. Afterwards, in the 1990s, it was rewritten and expanded at the University of Salerno (Italy) and continuously improved over the years. It is a study code, aimed at understanding rather than simulating. It has the unique characteristic of describing, since the early versions, the morphology of the molded samples. Furthermore, it always implemented the interrelationships among the different material properties (crystallinity, viscosity, density). In this work, the evolution of the software is reviewed, placed in the background, underlining the contribution given to the understanding of polymer processing and morphology evolution. Eventually, the future challenges of modeling are presented.
Comparative Prevalence Studies of Hepatitis C Patients in Developing Vs Developed Countries

Viral hepatitis is one of the common transmissible causes of chronic liver responsible for increased risk of mortality and morbidity. Hepatitis C disease has worldwide high prevalence which is more fatal because of lack of vaccination availability. Present study was conducted with the aim of to address the comparative prevalence and risk factor of hepatitis C. Secondary objective was to evaluate the prevalence of this disease in Pakistan as compared to other countries. Most of the countries in the world do not have significant studies of population infected with Hepatitis C virus (HCV). During 1990-2016, 232 studies were included; containing 117 countries representing that 90% of the world population have 2.3% prevalence. According to studies, developed countries have low HCV prevalence while developing countries have high prevalence. Pakistan being a developing country has second highest HCV prevalence ranging from 4.5 to 8%. The reason of this high prevalence is unawareness about Hepatitis C in community and lack of successful therapies for patients with HCV. In past, developed countries had high prevalence but now they have low incidence because of proper system and awareness. Pakistan needs such kind of public awareness programs and better treatment facilities at affordable price to community.Tahir et al., International Current Pharmaceutical Journal, November 2016, 5(12): 106-110http://www.icpjonline.com/documents/Vol5Issue12/02.pdf

Prescribing pattern is the trending topic now days to promote rational use of drug and to make the drug therapy effective. Many factors like lack of knowledge, improper guidelines and personal interest affects the prescribing behaviour of a physician. To access the prescribing pattern and its relevant features which modulates it in the sector of Lahore, A survey was conducted in which physicians of different expertise were engaged from top hospitals of public and private sector. A questionnaire was designed and 100 physicians were interviewed as per structured questionnaire. The collected data was analysed by using analytical software SPSS 22. Pharmacological factors, cost effectiveness, efficacy of drug, recommended guidelines, psychological expectations and patient adherence are some factors which a prescriber keeps in his mind while prescribing a drug. Personal benefits and polypharmacy is strongly prohibited by physicians. physicians of Lahore prefer patient benefits upon their own in prescribing a drug but there are still some drawbacks like socio-economic factor and social culture which cause hindrance for a physician while prescribing.Saleem et al., International Current Pharmaceutical Journal, November 2016, 5(12): 118-119http://www.icpjonline.com/documents/Vol5Issue12/04.pdf
