GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS IN INDIA & THE CASE OF FAMOUS INDIAN WEAVE: BANARASI BROCADE
Authors: Gulati Shruti
Published: December 2020

A milestone was reached when WTO through TRIPS had granted goods to retain its essence of the land by allowing attaching a geographical indication to goods having specialty from the place of origin. Where a product holds characteristics that clearly indicate its reference to a place in terms of quality, essentially attributed things such as reputation, it is said to have a geographical indication. Where most things become synonymous with the land, that they sometimes lose their own identity leading to an interchangeable use of the geographical name with the good like the ‘banarasibrocade’or ‘phulkari’. The reason for getting it under the Intellectual Property Right radar is that it becomes the selling point as well as that characteristic which solely differentiates the good out of the crowd, sometimes to an extent of premium pricing as well. It’s like a safeguard to both the consumers for an assurance of quality and the producers for making it worthy.
ADSORPTION CHARACTERISTICS OF ZIZYPHUS JUJUBA SEED SHELL ACTIVATED NANO POROUS CARBON FOR REMOVING COPPER (II) IONS FROM WASTEWATER
Authors: Veeravelan K , Arivoli S , Marimuthu V
Published: December 2020

In the present study, adsorption of copper (II) ions from aqueous solution by Activated Zizyphus Jujuba shell Nano Carbon was investigated under batch mode. The influence of solution pH, sorbent dose, copper concentration, contact time and temperature was studied. The copper adsorption was favored with maximum adsorption at pH 6.5. Sorption equilibrium time was observed in 60 min. The equilibrium adsorption data were correlated with Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Hurkins-Jura, Halsay, Radlich-Peterson, Jovanovic and BET isotherm models. The kinetics of the adsorption process was tested by pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second order, Elovich and Intra-particle diffusion models. It was shown that adsorption of copper could be described by the pseudo-second order kinetic model. Thermodynamic parameters such as Gibbs free energy (ΔG0), the enthalpy (ΔH0) and the entropy change of sorption (ΔS0) have also been evaluated and it has been found that the adsorption process was spontaneous, feasible and endothermic in nature. The results indicated that Activated Zizyphus Jujuba shell Nano Carbon can be used as an effective and low-cost adsorbent to remove copper (II) from aqueous solution.
Growing Up Burney
Authors: Clark Lorna
Published: December 2020

The pressure of family identity and politics affected more than one generation of Burneys. Beyond Frances Burney, and her intense relationship with her father Charles Burney, were other family members who also felt the pressure to “write & read & be literary.” These tendencies can be seen most clearly in the works of juvenilia preserved in the family archive. A commonplace book bound in vellum has been discovered that preserves more than one hundred poems, mostly original compositions written by family and friends. The activity of commonplacing reflects a community in which reading and writing are valued. Collected by the youngest sister of Frances Burney, they seem to have been copied after she married. The juvenile writings of her nieces and nephews preponderate, whose talents were encouraged, as they give versified expression to their deepest feelings and fears. Literary influences of the Romantic poets can be traced, as the young authors define themselves in relation to these materials. Reflecting a kind of self-fashioning, the commonplace book helps these young writers explore their sense of family identity through literary form. This compilation represents a collective expression of authorship which can inform us about reading and writing practices of women and their families in the eighteenth century.
Young England
Authors: Langbauer Laurie
Published: December 2020

Part One of this essay argued that the new field of juvenilia studies provides the explanatory framework that allows us to read what Young England does signify, and to indicate how the term “Young” signified in its time. More specifically, the recovery by juvenilia studies of the cultural presence of young people in Britain in the generation before Young England—its recovery of an active juvenile tradition of writers, simultaneous with and related to Romanticism—puts into context the self-fashioning and reception of this next post-Romantic generation: ambitious Young Englanders George Smythe (1818–57), John Manners (1818–1906), and Andrew Baillie-Cochrane (1816–90) in particular. Friends from boyhood, schoolmates at Eton and Cambridge, born into families of rank or on their way to titles, they looked to other bold young nobles who had made a splash before them—George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788–1824) and Percy Shelley (1792–1822). Those Romantics’ prior precocious fame provided the justification for believing that Young Englanders could make a splash too, and gave them the script for how to do so. Part Two focuses on Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881), their political mentor, who used this script explicitly in his Coningsby novels about Young England, fusing the movement’s personalities with the characters of their meteoric Romantic predecessors.

Petrología, geoquímica y vinculación regional de las unidades neoproterozoicas-cámbricas de la Sierra de Guasayán, Sierras Pampeanas Orientales, Noroeste de Argentina
Authors: Bellos Laura Iudith , Aceñolaza Guillermo Federico , Acosta Nagle Ana Eugenia , Díaz Alvarado Juan , Castro Antonio , Nieva Sergio Marcelo , López José Pablo , Toselli Alejandro José
Published: December 2020

La Sierra de Guasayán forma parte de las Sierras Pampeanas Orientales, en la provincia de Santiago del Estero, NW Argentino, y está conformada por varios cuerpos graníticos que intruyen en un basamento metamórfico de bajo grado, el cual está representado al norte de la sierra por pizarras y filitas, mientras que al sur predominan los esquistos bandeados con inyecciones cuarzo-feldespáticas. Sobre la base de sus caracteres sedimentarios, petrológicos y relaciones estratigráficas generales, las unidades metasedimentarias del sector norte se asocian al contexto estratigráfico de la cuenca de Puncoviscana. En la zona de contacto granito-metamorfitas se han reconocido corneanas cordieríticas desarrolladas por metamorfismo térmico. Los granitoides constituyen un cinturón elongado de Norte a Sur, de composición mayoritariamente tonalítica-granodiorítica al norte y granítica-granodiorítica al sur. Son predominantes las texturas porfíricas y tamaño de grano medio. Geoquímicamente son rocas calcoalcalinas de carácter débilmente peraluminoso, con valores del índice de saturación en alúmina (ASI) entre 1 y 1.09. La uniformidad petrográfica y geoquímica que presentan los cuerpos aflorantes indicaría una posible génesis en común. Comparativamente, son similares a los granitoides cámbricos presentes en el Batolito de Tastil, en el norte, en el ámbito de la Cordillera Oriental y en parte a los del Batolito Sierra Norte-Ambargasta, que afloran hacia el sur. Todos ellos constituyen el Arco Magmático Pampeano desarrollado en el margen occidental de Gondwana durante el Neoproterozoico tardío - Cámbrico inferior.
Posibilidades de reproducción de Schinus johnstonii (Anacardiaceae), una especie nativa del Monte argentino
Authors: Diaz Arias Daniela , Torres Yanina Alejandra , Ithurrart Leticia Soledad , Cardillo Daniela Solange
Published: December 2020

Schinus johnstonii F. A. Barkley (Anacardiaceae) es un arbusto nativo de la Provincia Fitogeográfica del Monte, donde representa un importante componente del pastizal natural. Su tolerancia a la sequía, junto a la presencia de una floración abundante, la convierten en una buena opción para proyectos paisajísticos y de restauración de ambientes degradados y deforestados. Para tales fines es necesario contar con información acerca de sus posibilidades de reproducción. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron determinar los requerimientos básicos de la germinación de sus semillas (reproducción sexual), en condiciones de laboratorio, y analizar la supervivencia de estacas (reproducción vegetativa), en condiciones controladas y bajo distintos tratamientos. Las semillas recolectadas se sometieron a seis tratamientos pre-germinativos: exocarpo intacto (control), remoción de exocarpo (desnudas), semillas desnudas con escarificación mecánica, semillas desnudas con escarificación química, semillas desnudas en remojo y semillas desnudas con exposición a humo. Sólo se observó germinación en semillas sin exocarpo. Las semillas desnudas germinaron a partir de los 10 días, con un valor máximo del 38%, sin encontrarse diferencias entre los tratamientos. Se observó, además, una importante proporción de semillas no viables o vacías (30-40%). El estudio de reproducción vegetativa, con estacas recolectadas durante los estadios fenológicos vegetativo y reproductivo, con y sin hormona de enraizamiento, dio como resultado un porcentaje bajo de rebrote (20%), sin diferencias entre tratamientos. Según los resultados, las semillas de S. johnstonii presentarían dormición física impuesta por la cubierta (superada por remoción del exocarpo). La reproducción de este arbusto no sería recomendable por medio de estacas, aunque se sugiere realizar más estudios.
Cyanogenesis prospection in galled and non-galled tissues of Microgramma squamulosa (Polypodiaceae)
Authors: Rocha Mariana Fernandes da , Rodrigues Lancellotti Isabella , Guerra Santos Marcelo
Published: December 2020

Cyanogenic glycosides are defense substances that can produce hydrocyanic acid when they undergo hydrolysis as a result of herbivory, a process called cyanogenesis. Galls are neoformed structures of plant tissues induced by species-specific interactions between an inducer organism and a host plant. Earlier studies in Microgramma species have demonstrated that has a variation in cyanogenesis within and between populations, as well as in different plant organs. Microgramma squamulosa is an epiphytic fern that may contain stem galls induced by Tortrimosaica polypodivora (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). Thus, the aim of the present study was to assess cyanogenesis seasonally and in different tissues (galled and non-galled) of M. squamulosa. The study was conducted in populations located in the Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. Cyanogenesis was assessed using the Feigl-Anger paper test. A total of 260 galled and non-galled tissues were analyzed, 45 gall samples, 67 sterile leaves, 103 stems and 2 croziers. Cyanogenesis was detected in only three sterile leaf samples. In none of the samples were the stems or galls cyanogenic. The results corroborate the hypothesis that the stems of Microgramma squamulosa galled by Tortrimosaica polypodivora are not cyanogenic.
“O meu estranho mundo secreto”: identidade lésbica e homoerotismo em Eu sou uma lésbica, de Cassandra Rios
Authors: Morais Paula Lais Pombo de , Camargo Flávio Pereira
Published: December 2020

Este trabalho tem como objetivo fazer uma leitura crítica das representações da mulher lésbica no romance Eu sou uma lésbica (1980), da escritora paulistana Cassandra Rios, cujas obras foram consideradas pornográficas e censuradas durante o regime militar brasileiro. Ao acompanharmos as recordações da protagonista Flávia, observamos uma série de questionamentos em torno de sua identidade e de seus desejos por outras mulheres, o que evidencia questões relacionadas ao homoerotismo feminino, ao preconceito e à discriminação da mulher lésbica em um contexto histórico-social marcadamente repressor, sobretudo em relação às identidades consideradas como não hegemônicas. Para alcançar nossos objetivos na leitura do romance de Rios, valemo-nos dos conceitos teórico-críticos de George Bataille (1987), Judith Butler (2003), Tânia Navarro-Swain (2004), Adriane Piovezan (2005), Isabela Nóbrega (2015), e Anderson Guimarães (2013), dentre outros, que nos possibilitaram uma compreensão mais acurada sobre as representações da mulher lésbica na literatura de Cassandra Rios.
Corpora política: a potência criativa e contestativa da escrita de Ana Cristina Cesar e Angélica Freitas
Authors: Machado Daniel Almeida , Guida Angela Maria
Published: December 2020

O silenciamento de vozes femininas na literatura revela certa dificuldade de reconhecer a possibilidade de que a mulher tensione e pense em temas para além do cenário doméstico. Neste sentido, o presente artigo propõe um diálogo entre duas poetisas, Ana Cristina Cesar (na coletânea Poética, de 2013) e Angélica Freitas (em Útero é do tamanho de um punho, de 2017), vislumbrando na poética de ambas a inserção de temários que dialoguem com um lado político de ser mulher e a inclusão do olhar feminino como discurso capaz de perscrutar posicionamentos contrários às imposições sociais sobre o papel da mulher na sociedade. Alicerçando-nos precipuamente pelos estudos de poesia (HOLLANDA, 2001a; 2001b), a crítica feminista (DUARTE, 2019; SCHMIDT (2019), os estudos de gênero (BUTLER, 2019) e, acima de tudo, o diálogo entre poemas de ambas as escritoras, desejamos demonstrar a potencialidade de uma dicção poética oriunda do feminino.

In the case of learning in the classroom, educators train how to communicate well, remind that they must be empathetic and kind to everyone, for educators’ assessment not only from exam results but also daily attitudes. In addition, the role of parents from the research results shows that the role of parents is very important in the success of the humanist application itself. This can be seen from parents who have to monitor attitudes and learning processes when at home.
Manual Action Metaphors in Chinese A Usage-Based Constructionist Study
Authors: Liu Xiaoyu , Shi Heidi H. , Zhuo Jing-Schmidt
Published: December 2020

This article examines Chinese manual motor metaphors involving manual object manipulation as the source domain. Specifically, we use corpus data to investigate two transitive constructions [抓紧zhuājĭn ‘grab tightly, clutch’ NP] and [把住 băzhù ‘grasp firmly’ NP] and a causative construction [把bă NP捧pĕng COMPL] ‘lift NP with deliberation’ where the referent of the NP does not lend itself to manual manipulation in the literal sense and must be interpreted as metaphoric in the unity of semantic domains. Results from both quantitative and qualitative analyses show that the two transitive grasping actions are systematically used to abstract actions requiring a keen sense of urgency and/or importance and that the causative action of lifting systematically conceptualizes over-promotion of an undeserving entity. The findings point to the bodily origin of social cognition and the embodiment of conceptualization.
The Factuality Status of Chinese Necessity Modals
Exploring the Distribution Via Corpus-Based Approach
Authors: Sparvoli Carlotta
Published: December 2020

This paper is intended to test the deontic vs anankastic hypothesis outlined by Sparvoli (2012). The stipulation is that, in past contexts, the deontic modals trigger a counterfactual inference while the anankastic (here called, goal-oriented modals) either triggers an actuality entailment effects (“only possibility” modals) or a generic non-factual reading (“mere necessity” modals). The result of this corpus-based study conducted in a Chinese-English parallel corpus confirm the crucial role played by the deontic vs goal-oriented contrast in the marking of factuality in Chinese and shows that the factuality value decreases across a cline from goal-oriented to deontic modals.
Pope Francis’Laudato Si’: A Corpus-Based Study of Modality in the English and Chinese Versions
Authors: Boaretto Adriano , Castello Erik
Published: December 2020

This paper compares the use of modal expressions in the English and Chinese versions of Pope Francis’ Encyclical LetterLaudato Si’(2015). It explores the Encyclical Letter as a corpus through the study of word lists and parallel concordance lines. The research also benefits from the close parallel reading of extracts from the two versions. It focuses on the semantic areas of prediction/volition/intention, lack of possibility/ability/permission and obligation. The results confirm predictable parallel expressions (e.g.willand 会huì, cannot and 不能bùnéng,be called toand 召zhào) and bring to light less predictable renderings (e.g.zero(in English) and 会huì,cannotand 无法wúfǎ, the noun vocation and 召zhào). They also suggest that some translation choices are due to the translator’s attempt to make the text explicit and to adapt it to the target culture.
Co-Varying Collexeme Analysis of Chinese Classifiers 棵 kē and 株 zhū
Authors: Lu Wei-lun , Dosedlová Aneta
Published: December 2020

The numeral classifier is a grammatical category in plenty of East Asian languages, with Modern Standard Chinese being one of the most widely reported. In Chinese, there are many classifiers that are near-synonymous, meaning that certain classifiers may be interchangeable in certain contexts. However, these classifiers are used with semantically similar nouns, and as a result, the distinction between the various usages is not always clear. In view of this issue, we propose to study near-synonymous classifiers using the co-varying collexeme method and the Euclidean distance, illustrating with 棵 kē and 株 zhū. We report results that not only partially confirm but also complement what has been found in previous raw-frequency-based research.

A estreita relação entre quantidade e intensidade
Evidências translinguísticas
Authors: Guerra Vicente Helena , Lunguinho Marcus Vinicius
Published: December 2020

The aim of this paper is to provide further evidence for a unified analysis of todo-all as an intensifier and quantifier, which, we claim, is a sole lexical item and should be called a ‘degree modifier’. The evidence comes from Brazilian Portuguese, English, Southern Cone Spanish, French and Quebec French. The main advantage of our proposal is that the distinct readings are yielded depending on whether the degree modifier has scope over (i) a scale associated with a nominal extension and its degree of participation in an event (quantificational reading) or (ii) a scale associated with a degree adjective and a nominal extension holding an adjectival property (intensificational reading).
As controvérsias sobre o sujeito nulo no português brasileiro
Authors: Kato A. Mary
Published: December 2020

Brazilian Portuguese (BP) has been analyzed as a language that is loosing its referential null subjects, but though its typology is clear in the beginning of the change, the direction and target of the change is controversial. This paper brings an empirical and theoretical analysis comparing its synchronic state a) with Japanese, a radical [Null Subj] language, b) with Finnish, a partial [Null Subj] language, c) with English, a [-Null Subj] language, and finally d) with Icelandic, a ‘semi’[-Null Subj] language. It concludes that in its core grammar BP is of the latter type, though in the periphery of the I-language of literate Brazilians the lost [Null Subj] may appear due to instruction.
O sujeito na fala fílmica brasileira
Authors: De Rosa Gian Luigi
Published: December 2020

The present study, based on a corpus of contemporary Brazilian film dialogues (Sub-Corpus Carioca Urbano, Corpus I-Fala, Luso-Brazilian Film Dialogues as a resource for L1 & L2 Learning and Linguistic Research), illustrates how Brazilian Portuguese (BP) has undergone a process of change in the representation of referential subjects, with preference for overt pronominal subjects, passing from being a null subject language to being a partial null subject language. Thus, the current work revisits De Rosa (2017) by including 3rd person subjects and using film dialogue transcriptions (not scripts) and discusses the presence of null and overt subjects in the corpus, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The study also compares the filmic data to spontaneous speech and shows a basically conservative nature of the former.

The effect of formula t-shirt method for scientists taught in science lessons in secondary schools on academic success
Authors:   Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University, Ağrı, Turkey, Karasu Burhan
Published: December 2020

The aim of this research is to investigate whether there is a meaningful difference in the academic success, between the students who are applied the "formula t-shirt method" (experimental group) and the students who are not (in other classes of the school), in the education for the scientists wanted to be taught in the secondary school 5th, 6th and 7th grade science textbooks. Semi-experimental method was used as research method. In the 6th grade, 27 students participated in this study as experimental group (students wearing t-shirts) and 49 students in the other classes of the school that did not participate in the study. Academic achievement test including pre-test and post-test, informative observations, students’ and teacher’s interviews as well as 20 printed t-shirts were used to collect data. The pilot study of the developed achievement test was applied in another school and also the item analysis of it was performed. According to the research findings, when the experimental group’s success post-test results from the application performed, were examined in line with the interviews, significant differences were observed. It was seen that the subjects aimed to be gained with the formula t-shirt method, were adopted by the students and also increased their success. Looking at the results of the research, thanks to wearing the t-shirts prepared by using the human body on the background, and the reconciliation of the students wearing with the scientists on t-shirts, the desired learning was provided. This also contributed to such learning techniques as peer learning, active learning, social learning in terms of visuality and integrity. It is thought that these materials developed with the formula t-shirt method, will also inspire researchers for future studies in terms of their usability in other fields and subjects
Relocating the “Human Zoo”: Exotic Displays, Metropolitan Identity, and Ethnographic Knowledge in Late Nineteenth-Century Budapest
Authors: Kontler László
Published: December 2020

This article inquires into the meaning and valence of late nineteenth-century exotic displays in Budapest, a location without the colonial stakes that apparently determined the course of the “human zoo” in most Western European contexts. It explores the reporting on ethnic shows in the metropolitan press, points out stereotypical and more idiosyncratic representations, and examines these against the background of arising scientific discourses in anthropology and ethnography. While in some corners at least the ethnic shows were understood and promoted as potential instruments of engendering a cosmopolitan sense of “being-in-the-world” for a recently emancipated province of a continental empire, the responses do not appear to have satisfied such expectations.

Authors: Wang Su-Wen , Chiu Shih - Kuan
Published: December 2020

The increase in greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere has led to global warming. Climate change is an international environmental issue. Therefore, companies should pay more attention to carbon management strategies in their supply chains. It also requires major suppliers to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and climate change strategies through CDP. These suppliers include some large electronics manufacturers in Taiwan. The focus of this research is to understand the carbon management strategy in the green supply chain of Taiwan's electronics industry. Based on the collected strategies, a questionnaire was compiled and mailed to listed electronics companies in Taiwan to understand how Taiwanese electronics companies deal with carbon management in their supply chains. In this study, the collected data were analyzed and processed through descriptive statistical analysis, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson product difference correlation, and multiple stepwise regression analysis. And draw the following conclusion: Director of Electronics Industry- The views on overall green supply chain management and overall company performance are in the middle and high levels, there are significant differences in "marriage", "gender", "age", "education" and "work experience", there is a positive correlation between all aspects, and there are significant differences, there is a significant correlation between the two. And has the predictive ability. The results of this study also indicate that the most important strategies for large electronics companies to manage their supply chain carbon risks are "green product design," "material replacement," "energy efficiency," and "reducing packaging and reusability." And these companies have already begun to implement these carbon management strategies. Finally, based on the research process and conclusions, specific suggestions are made to provide references for Taiwan’s electronics-related industries and future researchers.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) – A Key Factor to an Organization’s Success
Authors: Kun-Hsiang Tang
Published: December 2020

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is not a refreshing concept for the management of an organization in recent years. This concept refers to a firm, which has more responsibilities to adapt the needs of objectives apart from its stakeholders and owners in commercial, legal, ethical, and environmental ways (Beal and Goyen, 2005), and the responsibilities are achieved by meeting or exceeding the commercial, ethical, legal and philanthropic expectation from these objectives. The concept of corporate social responsibility was firstly introduced by the publication of Bowen's Social Responsibility of Businessmen in 1953, while almost all known companies have integrated this spirit into their business model. Nowadays, the promotion of corporate social responsibility has even become not only the wider responsibilities in which an organization contributes to society but also an approach to promote an organization's corporate image (Chang, 2009). The purpose of this paper is to briefly discuss the concept of corporate social responsibility regarding economic, ethical, legal, and philanthropic aspects, and the objectives served by corporate social responsibility such as environments, the society, and the public. This paper then explains how the realization of CSR from one organization can bring effects to its stakeholders and how the organization can obtain benefits from the implementation. Finally, this paper includes two cases from well-known companies in Taiwan, namely TSMC (Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company) and FPG (Formosa Plastics Group) about how these companies successfully realize corporate social responsibility, and the impacts that influence the stakeholders, and the benefits they obtain for their corporate images.

Arab Spring as a Factor in the Emergence of Salafi Parties in the Middle East and North Africa
Authors: Khairullin Тimur
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the analysis of Salafi islamism. Conservative Salafi Islamism during the events of the Arab spring received a new development. In particular, the fall of authoritarian regimes and the beginning of the democratic process in the Middle East and North Africa led to the creation of Salafi political parties. Salafi Islamism used to reject the idea of creation of political parties to fight for power. It is known for its doctrinal intransigence and strong condemnation of any Islamist groups and movements that do not share its religious views. Salafists saw politics as a tool for splitting Muslims. However, in a favorable political environment, the Salafists believed that they would be able to defend their legal status and gain some privileges by participating in parliamentary elections. United with moderate Islamists, the Salafists managed to achieve the desired results at first. However, financial and diplomatic pressure from Saudi Arabia forced Salafi parties to withdraw support from moderate Islamists, which led to a weakening of Islamist movements in general. Moreover, the creation of parties has deepened internal divisions within the Salafi movements. In particular, there were supporters among the Salafists who defended the combination of student and political activities against those who considered participation in the political struggle as a temporary tactical action. The result of the disagreement was the emergence of young reformists, which began to see participation in politics as a tool for strengthening the position of the Salafi movement.
Scientific and Technological Development of Egypt in the XXI Century
Authors: Volkov Sergey
Published: December 2020

The author analyzes the scientific and technological development of modern Egypt, which the country’s leadership considers to be one of the main means for building a knowledge economy and ensuring national sovereignty. The current Constitution of Egypt contains a provision on the priority development of science and technology, as well as the obligation of the state to increase the share of spending for these purposes to 1% of GDP.

Using mainly data from the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development, as well as papers of Egyptian scientists, the author draws a detailed picture of the current state of science and technology in Egypt. He also provides data on their development plans until the 2021/22 financial year, according to which public investment for these purposes should be increased to 1.2% of GDP. This will not only strengthen the material base for the development of science and technology, significantly increase the number of researchers, their salaries and publication activity, but also create favorable conditions for improving the commercialization of scientific achievements. To this end, the country’s government is building science cities, encouraging the conclusion of scientific and technological alliances that combine the capabilities of science and business, and creating a favorable regulatory environment and incubators for the development of national startups, one of which has already turned into a unicorn.

All this strengthens Egypt’s position as one of the leaders of scientific and technological progress in Africa.
GRIA2 is differentially expressed in the tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: December 2020

Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is a monoclonal antibody targeting the extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) (1) utilized for the treatment of adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer (2) in the United States and worldwide. We mined published microarray data (3, 4) to discover in an unbiased manner the most significant transcriptional changes associated with trastuzumab treatment. We identified the glutamate ionotropic receptor AMPA type subunit 2, GRIA2 among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer treated with trastuzumab. The primary tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab expressed higher levels of GRIA2 messenger RNA than did patients not treated with trastuzumab, and a single administration of trastuzumab was sufficient to result in differential expression of GRIA2 in primary tumors of the breast, demonstrating increased expression of a glutamate receptor subunit found to be among the genes most significantly up-regulated in the brain metastases of an experimental melanoma model (5).
Semaphorin 3D is differentially expressed in the lymph node and brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: December 2020

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the growth cone guidance factor semaphorin 3D (6, 7), encoded by SEMA3D, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain and lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to normal breast tissues. SEMA3D mRNA was present at significantly reduced quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to normal breast tissues. Down-regulation of the repulsive signals promoted by semaphorin 3D (8) and interactions with its cognate plexin receptor(s) (9) may be an important event for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer. These data combined suggest some level of common origin for metastases that reside in the lymph nodes and colonize the brain.
Battery Electric Vehicle adoption in regions without strong policies

Published: December 2020

HighlightsoRevealed preferences from battery electric vehicle and conventional car holdersoSurvey data combined with home location data such as charger densityoMixed-effects model shows technology affinity is strongest predictoroSimilarly green party preferences and home ownership increase adoption probabilityoNo significant effects from home locations’ population or charging station density AbstractIndividual motorized transport is a major source of emissions and needs to be reduced to meet international agreements. Although alternatives to internal combustion engine vehicles are already on the market, without extensive political support, adoption remains low. Understanding the drivers of adoption of alternative technologies is key to develop effective measures to accelerate their diffusion. This paper presents personal consumer characteristics and home-location based spatial characteristics of current battery electric vehicle (BEV) and internal combustion engine vehicle holders, in a region free from strong EV policies. Using a generalized linear mixed-effects logistic model on this revealed preference data, we find that BEV ownership is predicted by technology affinity, high income, green party preferences, and living in one’s own house. Altogether, the study offers insights on the characteristics of early adopters of BEVs that can be valuable to policymakers, energy grid and charging infrastructure operators, as well as the automotive industry.

CLUSTER ANALYSIS FOR GROUPING OF PRISONER PERSONALITY IN THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION 4.0 ERA
Authors: Kusumawati Retno Ryani , Asih Retika Najmamulat
Published: December 2020

Industrial revolution 4.0 has affected all fields, including Indonesian Ministry of Law and Human Rights whose conducting a revitalization of correctional service where capacity was the main point of clustering is now changing into clustering based on change in behavior of the prisoners, which then used as recommendation for placing prisoners into Minimum Security, Medium Security and Maximum Security Prison. Prisoner’s Personality will show a prisoner’s tendency to behave and to think. Personality can be measured through Big Five Personality Model consisting of Openness to Experience, Concientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism. To simplify the placement process, the K-Means Clustering method is used. Of 137 prisoners assessed from Rangkasbitung and Serang Prison, 27 prisoners being placed to Medium Security prison, 52 prisoners to Maximum Security prison, and 58 prisoners to Minimum Security prison.
Measuring Implicit Intergroup Biases
Authors: Lai Calvin K. , Wilson Megan
Published: December 2020

Implicit intergroup biases are automatically activated prejudices and stereotypes that may influence judgments of others on the basis of group membership. We review evidence on the measurement of implicit intergroup biases, finding: implicit intergroup biases reflect the personal and the cultural, implicit measures vary in reliability and validity, and implicit measures vary greatly in their prediction of explicit and behavioral outcomes due to theoretical and methodological moderators. We then discuss three challenges to the application of implicit intergroup biases to real‐world problems: (1) a lack of research on social groups of scientific and public interest, (2) developing implicit measures with diagnostic capabilities, and (3) resolving ongoing ambiguities in the relationship between implicit bias and behavior. Making progress on these issues will clarify the role of implicit intergroup biases in perpetuating inequality.
Racialized Burdens: Applying Racialized Organization Theory to the Administrative State
Authors: Ray Victor Erik , Herd Pamela , Moynihan Donald
Published: December 2020

Administrative burdens allow a form of hidden politics to shape people’s experience of the state. But what do those politics hide? In this paper we seek to partly answer this question by developing the concept of racialized burdens. Racialized burdens are the experience of learning, compliance and psychological costs, which serve as tools to reinforce racial inequality; they are the handmaidens of the racialized state. To develop this concept, we examine the role of administrative burdens in the US state from the theoretical perspective of racialized organizations. This framework puts the focus on the effects of organizations on individuals, rather than using individual agency – of the client, or bureaucrat – as the starting point for analysis. Using examples from attempts to access citizenship rights – via immigration, voting and the social safety net – we show how burdens have historically been used to normalize and facilitate racially disparate outcomes from public organizations that promise fair and equal treatment.

These discussions can also be influenced and shaped by the participation of political figures online. Using Reddit's public API, comments were scraped in prominent policing related Subreddits during the week of George Floyd's death to understand how his death and Donald's Trump's response to the subsequent rioting influenced the tone of discussion.
Public debt: New risks in the context of the COVID-19 crisis. Part 1
Authors:   INION RAN, Semeko Galina
Published: December 2020

The crisis associated with the COVID-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented fiscal interventions in all affected countries, including Russia. The sharp increase in unplanned budget spending in the context of the collapse of tax and export revenues created the threat of destabilization of public finances and of deployment of a debt spiral. The article presents the expert opinions on the economic impact of the growth of such debt and on the threshold value of debt relative to GDP, as well as on strategies that can prevent a debt crisis. Discusses the forecasts of the growth of budgetary expenditures and public debt, as well as the fiscal incentives applied in different countries.
