Published: March 2020

An aberration-free four-electrode lens is described for forming an ion beam for mass separators or spectrometers. The lens is a modification of the transaxial lens, in which the circular gaps between the electrodes are replaced by elliptical gaps. A lens converts an axially symmetric beam into a tape-type beam. The lens parameters are found using the phase diagram method. Using the same method, a new aberration corrector for electrostatic lenses and a new sector magnet aberration corrector are developed.

Authors: Bossenbroek Rineke , Wols Aniek , Weerdmeester Joanneke , Lichtwarck-Aschoff Anna , Granic Isabela , van Rooij Marieke M J W
Published: March 2020

Background

Many adolescents in special education are affected by anxiety in addition to their behavioral problems. Anxiety leads to substantial long-term problems and may underlie disruptive behaviors in the classroom as a result of the individual’s inability to tolerate anxiety-provoking situations. Thus, interventions in special needs schools that help adolescents cope with anxiety and, in turn, diminish disruptive classroom behaviors are needed.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a virtual reality biofeedback game, DEEP, on daily levels of state-anxiety and disruptive classroom behavior in a clinical sample. In addition, the study also aimed to examine the duration of the calm or relaxed state after playing DEEP.

Methods

A total of 8 adolescents attending a special secondary school for students with behavioral and psychiatric problems participated in a single-case experimental ABAB study. Over a 4-week period, participants completed 6 DEEP sessions. In addition, momentary assessments (ie, 3 times a day) of self-reported state-anxiety and teacher-reported classroom behavior were collected throughout all A and B phases.

Results

From analyzing the individual profiles, it was found that 6 participants showed reductions in anxiety, and 5 participants showed reductions in disruptive classroom behaviors after the introduction of DEEP. On a group level, results showed a small but significant reduction of anxiety (d=–0.29) and a small, nonsignificant reduction of disruptive classroom behavior (d=−0.16) on days when participants played DEEP. Moreover, it was found that the calm or relaxed state of participants after playing DEEP lasted for about 2 hours on average.

Conclusions

This study demonstrates the potential of the game, DEEP, as an intervention for anxiety and disruptive classroom behavior in a special school setting. Future research is needed to fully optimize and personalize DEEP as an intervention for the heterogeneous special school population.
Evaluating a Theoretically Informed and Cocreated Mobile Health Educational Intervention for First-Time Hearing Aid Users: Qualitative Interview Study
Authors: Maidment David W , Heyes Rachel , Gomez Rachel , Coulson Neil S , Wharrad Heather , Ferguson Melanie A
Published: March 2020

Background

Adults living with hearing loss have highly variable knowledge of hearing aids, resulting in suboptimal use or nonuse. This issue can be addressed by the provision of high-quality educational resources.

Objective

This study aims to assess the everyday experiences of first-time hearing aid users when using a newly developed, theoretically informed cocreated mobile health (mHealth) educational intervention called m2Hear. This intervention aims to deliver greater opportunities for individualization and interactivity compared with our previously developed multimedia intervention, C2Hear.

Methods

A total of 16 first-time hearing aid users trialed m2Hear for a period of 10-weeks in their everyday lives, after which individual semistructured interviews were completed. The data were analyzed using an established deductive thematic analysis procedure underpinned by the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behavior model. The model stipulates that to engage in a target behavior, an individual must have physical and psychological capability, physical and social opportunity, and automatic and reflective motivation.

Results

Capability—m2Hear was viewed as a concise and comprehensive resource, suitable for a range of digital literacy skills. It was stated that m2Hear could be conveniently reused to provide useful reminders that facilitate knowledge of hearing aids and communication. Opportunity—m2Hear was simple and straightforward to use, enabling greater individualization and independence. The availability of m2Hear via mobile technologies also improved accessibility. Motivation—m2Hear provided greater support and reassurance, improving confidence and empowering users to self-manage their hearing loss.

Conclusions

Overall, this qualitative study suggests that m2Hear supports first-time hearing aid users to successfully self-manage their hearing loss postfitting. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the utility of employing a combined theoretical and ecologically valid approach in the development of mHealth educational resources to meet the individual self-management needs of adults living with hearing loss.

Authors: Matsumoto Kazuki , Hamatani Sayo , Makino Takuya , Uemura Taku , Suzuki Futoshi , Shinno Seina , Ikai Tomoki , Hayashi Hiroyuki , Sutoh Chihiro , Shimizu Eiji
Published: March 2020

Background

Cognitive behavioral therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder has been established, but access to this therapy in Japan is limited. Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy may improve treatment accessibility and sufficiently improve obsessive-compulsive symptoms. There are few randomized controlled trials examining the effectiveness of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. We designed a randomized controlled trial protocol to assess the effectiveness of guided internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy in Japanese patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Objective

We aimed to develop a protocol for a randomized controlled trial of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy in Japanese patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Methods

The randomized controlled trial will compare internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy treatment and usual care groups, each consisting of 15 participants (n=30) diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder. We will evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week intervention. The primary outcome of symptom severity will be measured using the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale. Secondary outcomes will be assessed with the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, Working Alliance Inventory-Short Form, and the Euro Qol – 5 Dimension. All measures will be assessed at weeks 0 (baseline) and 12 (follow-up). In the statistical analysis comparing treatment effects, the least-squares means and their 95% CIs will be estimated by analysis of covariance with the change in total outcomes scores at week 12. All comparisons are planned, and all P values will be two-sided, with values <.05 considered statistically significant.

Results

The study will be performed from January 2020 to March 2021, and results are expected to be available in mid-2021.

Conclusions

The trial will demonstrate whether internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy improves access and is more effective than more usual care for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder in Japan.

Application of In-Home Monitoring Data to Transition Decisions in Continuing Care Retirement Communities: Usability Study (Preprint)
Authors: Wild Katherine , Sharma Nicole , Mattek Nora , Karlawish Jason , Riley Thomas , Kaye Jeffrey
Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND

Continuous in-home monitoring of older adults can provide rich and sensitive data capturing subtle behavioral and cognitive changes. Our previous work has identified multiple metrics that describe meaningful trends in daily activities over time. The continuous, multidomain nature of this technology may also serve to inform caregivers of the need for higher levels of care to maintain the health and safety of at-risk older adults. Accordingly, care decisions can be based on objective, systematically assessed real-time data.

OBJECTIVE

This study deployed a suite of in-home monitoring technologies to detect changing levels of care needs in residents of independent living units in 7 retirement communities and to assess the efficacy of computer-based tools in informing decisions regarding care transitions.

METHODS

Continuous activity data were presented via an interactive, web-based tool to the staff identified in each facility who were involved in decisions regarding transitions in care among residents. Comparisons were planned between outcomes for residents whose data were shared and those whose data were not made available to the staff. Staff use of the data dashboard was monitored throughout the study, and exit interviews with the staff were conducted to explicate staff interaction with the data platform. Residents were sent weekly self-report questionnaires to document any health- or care-related changes.

RESULTS

During the study period, 30 of the 95 residents (32%) reported at least one incidence of new or increased provision of care; 6 residents made a permanent move to a higher level of care within their communities. Despite initial enthusiasm and an iterative process of refinement of measures and modes of data presentation based on staff input, actual inspection and therefore the use of resident data were well below expectation. In total, 11 of the 25 staff participants (44%) logged in to the activity dashboard throughout the study. Survey data and in-depth interviews provided insight into the mismatch between intended and actual use.

CONCLUSIONS

Most continuous in-home monitoring technology acceptance models focus on perceived usefulness and ease of use and equate the intent to use technology with actual use. Our experience suggests otherwise. We found that multiple intervening variables exist between perceived usefulness, intent to use, and actual use. Ethical, institutional, and social factors are considered in their roles as determinants of use.

Published: March 2020

Background and objectives

Access to kidney transplantation requires a referral to a transplant center for medical evaluation. Prior research suggests that the distance that a person must travel to reach a center might be a barrier to referral. We examined whether a shorter distance from patients’ residence to a transplant center increased the likelihood of referral and initiating the transplant evaluation once referred.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

Adults who began treatment for ESKD at any Georgia, North Carolina, or South Carolina dialysis facility from 1/1/2012 to 12/31/2015 were identified from the US Renal Data System. Referral (within 1 year of dialysis initiation) and evaluation initiation (within 6 months of referral) data were collected from all nine transplant centers located in that region. Distance was categorized as <15, 15–30, 31–60, 61–90, and >90 miles from the center of a patient’s residential zip code to the nearest center. We used multilevel, multivariable-adjusted logistic regression to quantify the association between distance with referral and evaluation initiation.

Results

Among 27,250 adult patients on incident dialysis, 9582 (35%) were referred. Among those referred, 58% initiated evaluation. Although patients who lived farther from a center were less likely to be referred, distance was not statistically significantly related to transplant referral: adjusted odds ratios of 1.08 (95% confidence interval, 0.96 to 1.22), 1.07 (95% confidence interval, 0.95 to 1.22), 0.96 (95% confidence interval, 0.84 to 1.10), and 0.87 (95% confidence interval, 0.74 to 1.03) for 15–30, 31–60, 61–90, and >90 miles, respectively, compared with <15 miles (P trend =0.05). There was no statistically significant association of distance and evaluation initiation among referred patients: adjusted odds ratios of 1.14 (95% confidence interval, 0.97 to 1.33), 1.12 (95% confidence interval, 0.94 to 1.35), 1.04 (95% confidence interval, 0.87 to 1.25), and 0.89 (95% confidence interval, 0.72 to 1.11) for 15–30, 31–60, 61–90, and >90 miles, respectively, compared with <15 miles (P trend =0.70).

Conclusions

Distance from residence to transplant center among patients undergoing long-term dialysis in the southeastern United States was not associated with increased likelihood of referral and initiating transplant center evaluation.

El dibujo en las aulas de arquitectura. ¿Qué valor le otorgan los nativos digitales?
Authors: Martín López Lucía , Durán López Rodrigo
Published: March 2020

Debido a su inherente dependencia espacial, el ser humano siempre ha tenido la necesidad de representar su entorno. En el caso de la arquitectura, estas representaciones constituyen parte fundamental del lenguaje profesional y pedagógico. El presente texto no se centra en el punto de vista del profesor, del crítico, del teórico o del arquitecto experimentado, sino en cómo el estudiante de arquitectura mexicano entiende y experimenta el dibujo. De esta manera se contribuye a llenar el vacío actual de investigaciones en torno a cómo los alumnos ven el mundo del dibujo arquitectónico desde su proceso formativo.
Mediante una investigación cualitativa se pretende identificar los tipos de dibujos que utilizan los alumnos durante su proceso de diseño (conceptualización, desarrollo y presentación), y la dificultad que tienen para realizar cada uno de ellos. Los resultados engloban dos grandes aspectos: el entendimiento del dibujo por parte de los alumnos y su aplicación real en el proceso creativo. A partir de ello se establece una comparación entre el aspecto teórico del dibujo y su visión más práctica desde el punto de vista del alumnado.

Published: March 2020

The study aimed to improve fruit set and plant performance to increase tomato productivity by studying the effect of plant growth regulators on tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum). A specific experiment has been carried out to study the effect of plant growth regulators Hemo bles (humic acid, 850g/kg) at applied doses (250, 500 and 700 ppm) and Magictone (naphthalene acetic acid and naphthalene acetamide, 5…12.5 g/kg) at applied doses (250, 500 and 700 ppm) on growth and physiological characteristics of tomato plants (Big Beef F1). The experimental design was a Complete Randomized Blocks Design. Both Hemo bles and Magictone were applied three times (spraying on plants at 30 days after planting (DAP), 60 DAP and 90 DAP). The obtained results showed that, applying Ener-850 humic acid caused the highest significant plant height (264.6 cm), number of leaves/plant (45), stem diameter (1.9 cm) and fruit weight (137 g) during the two seasons. In addition, applying Magictone resulted in the highest significant flower number (48.1), fruit number (35.1) and flower clusters number in the plant (13.6). Additionally, humic acid significantly increased dry weight (75.1 g) of arial parts with improving of tomato fruit quality via enhancing the concentrations of ascorbic acid, level of vitamin C and carotenoid content. The results were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s HSD test with α = 0.05 with the help of MINITAB (v. 19.0) program.

Published: March 2020

In solving the problems of modern rice growing associated with yield increase, resource/energy efficiency and profitability, development of new varieties and their timely introduction into production as a result of close cooperation of scientists and production workers is central. In this regard, the assortment of rice varieties of Kuban breeding is annually replenished with more productive ones having increased resistance to adverse biotic, abiotic and anthropogenic factors, technologization and energy supply during cultivation, and different cooking characteristics. Crop productivity is one of the main value indicators and the main requirement of production. It consists of number of plants per unit area and productivity of each of them. Therefore, in order to evaluate rice varieties and determine their suitability for cultivation in this agroclimatic zone, it is necessary to consider important agronomic traits and their variability during a certain time. The article presents the results of environmental testing of 20 rice varieties over three years (2016-2018). The variability of yield and number of productive stems per unit area in varieties was determined. The average and weak inter-varietal variability of productive plant stand (13.9; 10.3 and 13.5%) and yield (12.4; 9.2 and 9.9%) during the research period determines the optimal level of agricultural farming. The varieties that have formed a significantly high yield with its insignificant variability are recommended for cultivation in conditions of the Republic of Adygea.

Published: March 2020

Due to the complexity of full-scale object modeling and the need to use advanced computing technologies, the digital twin development process may require significant time, financial and human resources. Therefore, it is important for lean management of digital twin development to classify them by functionality, determine the current technology readiness level (TRL), and monitor its dynamics over short periods of time. A description of the life cycle stages of digital twins virtual models and adapted conditions to achieve technology readiness level are proposed. The use of the formalized TRL metric for detailed project planning by specific results reduces the development time, costs, and improves the quality of the results.
‘Sunlit Now, We See the Devastation’: Apocalyptic Themes in Michael Symmons Roberts’ Drysalter
Authors: Wright Patrick Ian
Published: March 2020

Here I will put forward the idea that the poems in Michael Symmons Roberts’ Drysalter present a reorganisation of the sacred. Given he is writing in what he understands as a post-secular age, the presence of the sacred is intimated in his text, and yet it is dispersed, non-hierarchical, immanent. That is to say Roberts presents a post-Enlightenment world that is already ruined, where the laws that in earlier times regulated the sacred are in a state of disintegration. In such a world it is not the case that the sacred has disappeared; instead it imbues what one might have considered to be its opposite: the profane. Rather than a future-orientated Parousia or Second Coming, Roberts is representing the sacred as inhabiting the realm of everyday things, the mundane and the familiar. This way of approaching the sacred deconstructs, in a sense, the more traditional (binary) opposition with the profane. Moreover, it is original in situating Roberts’ Drysalter in a theological and theoretical context that has, so far, not been given enough scholarly attention. By reading his collection through the lens of the sacred, my purpose is to show that, although there is no doubt an apocalyptic aspect to Roberts’ writing (one which reveals the subject’s condition as fallen, abject and without transcendence), his poems are by no means nihilistic. They offer us moments where the sacred might disclose itself, where meaning and a reenchantment of the world are reaffirmed.
Interlanguage interference of the Azerbaijani and Turkish languages: ways to address the problem (linguistic approach & teaching practice)
Authors: Aliyeva Zh. F. , Dursunova F. A. , Shtanov A. V.
Published: March 2020

One of the core aspects the methodology of teaching foreign languages focuses on is the issue of interlanguage interference. In this paper it is referred to as some kind of a controversy between the primary and secondary linguistic personalities at the early stages of the latter. This is explained by the dominant nature of the native language compared to the foreign one and is represented:

• at the formal level by the mechanical transfer of a certain form of the original native language from one of its levels – phonetic, lexical or grammatical, or

• at the associative level of meanings and concepts – while constructing speech in a foreign language, one trensfers the association from the native one; this association is foregrounded within the framework of specific speech conceptual and semantic connections and is relevant for the native language, but senseless for the foreign one.

As a rule, calquing results in consequences of different semantic complexity – from blocking a certain speech fragment in a foreign language due to its complete meaninglessness, to inaccuracy and semantic distortion.

Interlanguage interference manifests itself differently in different language pairs. For a research it is important to understand how languages of the corresponding pair relate to each other – whether languages are completely different genealogically and typologically; or matching either genealogically or typologically; or closely related both genealogically and typologically. The aim of the paper is to study the interference in a pair of closely related languages: Azerbaijani & Turkish, where the former is native and the latter is foreign. This is a special case for study, since the significant similarity of the two languages, though providing many positive results, gives an absolutely specific type of interference. İt requires a detailed analysis in order to overcome the negative impact of the mother tongue on a foreign language in the process of foreign language acquisition.

Published: March 2020

Rutin is a natural flavonoid that has many effects on human health and beauty. However, rutin has low solubility and bioavailability. Niosomes are drug delivery system that enhance drug permeation of drug through the skin. Aloe is widly used in cosmetic preparations due to its anti-aging, moisturizing and essential skin nutrients. Therefore, the aim of study is preparation of nano niosomes, loaded with rutin and aloe gel extraction (rutin-aloe niosomes) by thin film hydration method. Rutin niosomes was reduced size by ultrasonic method. The size and distribution of vesicles were determined by dynamic light scattering method.  Drug content in niosomal suspension was determined by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The results showed that rutin-aloe niosomes were prepared by thin-film hydration method using Span 60, cholesterol and rutin in molar ratio of 7:3:4 using aloe gel extract as hydration solvent. Mixture of methanol-chloroform (volume ratio 1:1) was used as solvent for solution of membrane companents for evaporation. The manufactured rutin-aloe niosomes had size of about 160 nm, the entrapment efficiency was 95,57% and drug loading was 32,06%.

Key Components of Communicative Situation of Business Negotiations
Authors: Stolyarova Anastasiia O.
Published: March 2020

The following article considers the concepts of communicative situation, business discourse and business negotiations, as well as the specificity of their functioning. The research focuses on the cinematographic representation of communicative situation per se, which is of great interest within the field of business discourse. Taking into account sustained attention of present-day linguistics to institutional discourse in general and business discourse in particular, the need for a detailed study of the functioning of professional discourse seems quite urgent. As examples of the present study scenes of business negotiations from several American films were taken. The research rests on the componential structure of the communicative situation developed by Teun A. van Dijk (2008), which includes six basic elements inherent in any communicative situation. During the study, the following methods were applied: visual material analysis (which allows of considering a scene from a movie as a qualitative source of data, mainly in terms of non-verbal communication), method of text interpretation (which allows a researcher to single out typical patterns of behavior of businessmen during negotiations), continuous sampling method (which helps to identify language units that indicate personal characteristics of interlocutors) and a method of discourse analysis (allowing to distinguish discursive characteristics of business negotiations). As a result of the research, the presence of the components of the communicative situation identified by Teun A. van Dijk in situations of business negotiations in cinematography was confirmed. The functions performed by these components were analyzed, and the answers to the following questions were given: who performs the role of interlocutors in the situation of business negotiations, what kind of relations they hold, what message topics are common for a situation of negotiations, what are the key features of the speech and nonspeech activity of business negotiations.
Polyethnic Societies: The Religious – Cultural Component of Economic Activity
Authors: Solodova Galina S.
Published: March 2020

The prolonged domination of the neoclassical economic school led to the emphasis on the role of formal, quantitative factors and laws. There was a certain narrowing and abstraction of a set of analyzed indicators, exclusion of cultural, social, religious factors as having no causal potential. However, the socio-economic motivation of a person is extremely complex and ambiguous. A full-fledged analysis of economic processes cannot be done without taking into account non-economic elements – religion and culture.
Can Senecan Theater of Passions Educate a Virtuous Person?
Authors: Sanzhenakov Alexander A.
Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to the consideration of the pedagogical content of Seneca’s tragedy. The article provides a solution for the problem, which is contained in the controversy – on the one hand, Seneca as other Stoics believes that the passions negatively affect the soul of human being, on the other hand, his tragedies portray plots overrun with passions involving murder, perfidy, betrayal and other crimes. The author suggests that this feature of the plot of dramatic works of Seneca cannot be explained by simple respect of the tradition, according to which the passion is the main driving force of both the ancient Greek and ancient Roman tragedies. The author shows that Seneca intentionally uses certain artistic techniques to achieve the pedagogical effect.
On Normative Consequences of One Implication
Authors: Shevchenko Aleksandr A.
Published: March 2020

The paper treats the “ought implies can” principle as a normative dilemma in relation to epistemic and moral obligations. It shoes that the standard interpretation of this principle as a contraposition is not the only possible one or heuristically interesting. The author draws on the examples of obligations and actions of different types to show how it is possible to shift the focus from the modality of possibility to the modality of obligation. It allows to explain a number of actions not adequately described in traditional moral theory. It also helps to understand the links between moral and epistemic imperatives.
Principle of Complementarity in the Research of the Links between Language, World View and Picture of the World
Authors: Sandakova Ludmila B.
Published: March 2020

The article deals with the problem of the epistemological status of the complementarity principle in socio-humanitarian studies. It clarifies the content of the principle of complementarity and the possibility of its application from the point of view of its methodological significance for studying the interdependence of language, world view and the picture of the world. It is shown that the authentic application of the principle is possible within the framework of a constructionist epistemological model, subject to a number of methodological requirements for the organization of the research process. To correlate the complementary description languages in the designated problem area, the interdisciplinary conceptual apparatus of cultural studies seems productive.
There are No Easy Counterexamples to Legal Anti-positivism
Authors: Atiq Emad H
Published: March 2020

Legal anti-positivism is widely believed to be a general theory of law that generates far too many false negatives. If anti-positivism is true, certain rules bearing all the hallmarks of legality are not in fact legal. This impression, fostered by both positivists and anti-positivists, stems from an overly narrow conception of the kinds of moral facts that ground legal facts: roughly, facts about what is morally optimific—morally best or morally justified or morally obligatory given our social practices. A less restrictive view of the kinds of moral properties that ground legality results in a form of anti-positivism that can accommodate any legal rule consistent with positivism, including the alleged counter-examples. This form of “inclusive” anti-positivism is not just invulnerable to extensional challenges from the positivist. It is the only account that withstands extensional objections, while incorporating, on purely conceptual grounds, a large part of the content of morality into law.

Cheese is not only created using cow's milk and can also be made from a mixture of
vegetable extracts, including corn extract. Cheese from corn extract has the advantages of
low-fat and high-carotene. Notably, papain can be used as a coagulant in the production of
cheese analogue, while maltodextrin functions to increase volume and total solids for
greater yield. The objectives of the present study was 1) to optimize the formula
composition between lime extract, papain, and maltodextrin to create a cheese analogue
from sweet corn extract with high yield and protein as well as good sensory properties, 2)
to study the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of the cheese analogue using the
optimal formula, and 3) to compare analog cheese from corn milk to cow's milk cheese.
The experimental design involved response surface methodology with three factors (lime
extract, papain, and maltodextrin). The results of the study produced the optimal cheese
analogue formula from corn extract with the addition of lime extract (2.283%), papain
(0.022%), and maltodextrin (15%). The characteristics of this cheese analogue include a
yield of 20.3%; pH of 5.4; 14oBrix soluble solids; water content of 65.3%; protein content
of 13.5%; total-carotene of 544.4 ppm and of fat content 4.6%. The cheese analogue has
sensory characteristics of soft texture, the ability to spread evenly, the typical color of
cheese (i.e. yellowish-white), and was preferred by panelists. Cheese analogue has protein
content of 7.1%, fat content of 4.55%, total carotene of 544.4 mg/g, cholesterol 0.02 mg/g;
while commercial cheese from cow’s milk has protein content 6.3%, fat content 24.53%,
total carotene 5.32 mg/g and cholesterol 0.19 mg/g. Thus, sweet corn can potentially be
used as a raw material for producing low-fat cheese analogues.
Monomeric and 1D polymeric Cu(II) complexes derived from dicyanamide: Structural characterization and antibacterial properties

Monomeric [Cu(DCA—OEt)2] and polymeric [Cu(DCA)2(DMF)2]n complexes (where DCA is dicyanamide, DCA—OEt is in situ formed ligand, and DMF is dimetylformamide) derived from sodium dicyanamide are synthesized and their structures are characterised by spectroscopic and analytical methods. Molecular structures of the complexes are determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In the structure of the polymeric complex [Cu(DCA)2(DMF)2]n, the DCA anions are bridges between Cu(II) ions through the terminal nitrile N atoms, forming a 1D ladder-like coordination polymer chains. The DCA—OEt ligand in the monomeric [Cu(DCA—OEt)2] complex is formed by the nucleophilic addition of ethanol to the DCA nitrile groups, resulting in a bidentate chelate ligand. The antibacterial activity of the structu­rally characterised complexes are evaluated by by agar-well diffusion. The complexes exhibit a comparable antibacterial activity against some bacteria to the standart antibiotics (amikacin and gentamicin).
THE FACTORS OF INTENTION TO BUY HALAL-LABELED FOOD ON MUSLIM STUDENTS YOGYAKARTA, INDONESIA
Authors: Efendi Riyanto
Published: March 2020

In industrial era 4.0 as now makes the food industry increasingly diverse and easily reaches all walks of life. The food consumed by the community must be good and healthy because every time that is circulated does not necessarily make it healthy and does not have a halal label. By that, the Muslim community must certainly choose foods that are good, healthy, and halal for consumption. So the purpose of this study is to find out the effect of subjective norms, behavioral control perceptions, and religion on the intention to buy halal labeled food for Muslim students. Methodology This study was a quantitative study involving 174 students taken with the 20% Arikunto technique. Methods of multiple linear regression data analysis using SPSS Version 20. The results of the research are as follows: (1). Subjective norms have a positive and significant effect on the intention to buy halal-labeled food for Muslim students, (2). Perceived behavior control has a positive and significant effect on the intention to buy halal-labeled food for Muslim students, (3). Religiosity has a positive and significant effect on the intention to buy halal labeled food for Muslim students, (4). Subjective norms, perceived control behavior, and reliability together influences the intention to buy halal labeled food by 36.8%.

Minyak nilam yang dihasilkan oleh petani umumnya masih memiliki kualitas yang rendah dikarenakan teknik penanganan panen dan pascapanen yang kurang tepat. Beberapa penelitian telah dilakukan untuk meningkatkan mutu minyak nilam dengan menggunakan metode distilasi fraksinasi. Distilasi fraksinasi merupakan proses pemisahan komponen berdasarkan titik didih senyawa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh rasio refluks terhadap kondisi proses distilasi fraksinasi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode eksperimen dengan analisis deskriptif. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan tiga variabel, yaitu rasio refluks 20:1, 30:1 dan 40:1 dengan pengulangan sebanyak dua kali, serta diatur untuk menghasilkan 5 fraksi (cut) pada masing variabel. Parameter yang diukur meliputi bobot jenis, indeks bias, rendemen proses, massa residu, massa hilang dan total lama waktu distilasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perlakuan refluks memberikan pengaruh terhadap kondisi operasi dimana semakin besar rasio refluks yang digunakan maka waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk distilasi fraksinasi juga semakin lama. Kondisi operasi optimal diperoleh pada rasio refluks 20:1. Perolehan lama waktu dan rendemen proses secara berturut adalah 10,9 jam dan 93%. Rasio refluks 20:1 dinilai lebih efisien karena waktu fraksinasi yang lebih singkat serta mampu menghasilkan rendemen yang tinggi.
International Repatriations of Indigenous Human Remains and Its Complexities: the Australian Experience
Authors: Turnbull Paul
Published: March 2020

In this article, I discuss how returns of Ancestral Remains of Indigenous Australian communities from overseas museums and other scientific institutions since the early 1990s have occurred in the context of changing Australian government repatriation policies and practices. The article then highlights how the past three decades have seen numerous instances of the return of Ancestral Remains to their community proving difficult and stressful because of the loss of ancestral lands, life-ways and the experience of colonial subjugation. As I explain, returning the dead has challenged the living by requiring them to address questions of authority, power and historical legacies of colonialism, notably in the case of those communities seeking the restoration of ownership of their ancestral country within the framework of Australia’s current national and state land laws.
“Collaborative” provenance research – About the (im)possibility of smashing colonial frameworks
Authors: Weber-Sinn Kristin , Ivanov Paola
Published: March 2020

This article aims to reflect on the aporias and paradoxes of a postcolonial, collaborative research approach to ethnographic collections dating from colonial times. While, at least in Germany, ‘provenance research’ and ‘collaboration’ have become politically opportune, important questions concerning the possibilities or impossibilities of overcoming colonial categories, epistemologies and imbalances of power remain to be answered. Based on research and collaboration with stakeholders over the course of two projects on the Tanzania collections of the Ethnologisches Museum Berlin, this article asks how far ‘collaboration’ and ‘decolonization’ risk remaining merely empty, fashionable phrases, if, on the one hand, today’s concern with the colonial context of collections in European museums seems to be to a great extent self-referential and avoiding radical criticism of today’s power asymmetries; and, on the other, the deconstruction of colonial class, gender, race, and ethnic categorizations, and of the resulting representations is hindered – if not made impossible – by the epistemologies implicit in the order of the collections themselves but also by identity politics

Las condiciones de cultivo y el manejo poscosecha del cilantro y las fresas, propician su contaminación microbiana. Existen diversos procedimientos para desinfectar estos productos, sin embargo, es necesario establecer ventajas y desventajas de su aplicación. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron comparar la eficacia de algunos tratamientos de desinfección para reducir la carga bacteriana en cilantro y fresa y evaluar las propiedades antioxidantes de dichos alimentos, antes y después de la desinfección. Los tratamientos de desinfección comparados fueron: ozono generado en un aparato electrodoméstico a un flujo de 6.25x10-5 mol min-1 y ozono obtenido en laboratorio mediante una reacción electrolítica a un flujo de 7.75x10-7 mol min-1. Asimismo, se utilizaron desinfectantes comerciales a base de dióxido de cloro, plata coloidal y dos productos obtenidos de extractos cítricos, uno aplicado después de un lavado con detergente (extracto estandarizado de semillas cítricas y glicerina) y el otro utilizado directamente (extracto de semillas cítricas a base de ácidos láctico y ascórbico). Posterior a los tratamientos de desinfección se llevó a cabo el conteo de unidad formadora de colonia y se determinaron los pigmentos característicos de los productos desinfectados, el contenido fenólico total y la capacidad antioxidante por el ensayo FRAP. Los resultados demostraron que el extracto estandarizado de semillas cítricas y glicerina resultó ser más efectivo (p< 0.05) para desinfectar tanto fresas como cilantro, al disminuir en 97 y 99.9% las unidades formadoras de colonias, respectivamente; sin embargo, redujo la concentración de antocianinas en fresas y la capacidad antioxidante en el cilantro.
