Authors: Emzir Emzir , Lustyantie Ninuk , Akbar Akbar
Published: November 2017

The objective of this research is to obtain a deep understanding about the online machine translation of graduate students in the Language Education Doctoral Program of State University of Jakarta, Indonesia, from source language to target language in order to achieve equivalence in the subject of Language Translation and Education. The approach used is qualitative approach with ethnography method. The translation process is conducted by writing down words or copying-pasting sentences to be translated and then those words/sentences will be automatically translated by machine translation. A repetitive edit, revision and correction process shall be first performed in order to get an optimum result i.e. translated sentences are equal in textual and meanings. The deviations occur due to inaccurate equivalents caused by different cultures between the source language and target language as well as the scope of translated language scientific field. The used strategy is a literal translation. Based on the research results, the translation of English tasks to Indonesian through the online translation program is very useful to facilitate the students’ lecturing process in completing their tasks.

Thought mapping: an HIV prevention approach for drug abusers / Reflexión analítica: Un enfoque preventivo del VIH para drogodependientes
Authors: Leukefeld Carl G. , Godlaski Ted , Logan TK
Published: November 2017

Este artículo expone un enfoque individualizado a la prevención de VIH para las poblaciones de drogodependientes basado en la teoría (Prochask y DiClemente, 1986), incorpora una intervención realizada frecuentemente con los drogodependientes infectados por el VIH (Wechsberg et al, 1997), e incluye el concepto de Mapas Cognitivos como una estrategia para relacionar los pensamientos, los sentimientos y las expectativas con las conductas y acciones. Los mapas cognitivos representan los problemas como gráficos o planes con el objetivo de vincular los pensamientos con las consecuencias conductuales específicas. La intervención fue desarrollada en grupos piloto y fue probada inicialmente con drogodependientes que no se encontraban en tratamiento. La intervención se dirige al abuso de drogas y a las conductas sexuales insalubres de alto riesgo, identificados por los participantes en la intervención. AbstractThis article presents an individualized HIV prevention approach for drug abusers which is theoretically grounded (Prochaska& DiClemente, 1986), incorporates a commonly used HIV intervention for drug abusers (Wechsberg et al., 1997), and includes Thought Mapping as a way of relating thoughts, feelings, and expectations, to behaviors and actions. Thought Mapping is diagramming or mapping problems in a way to link thoughts to specific behavioral consequences. The intervention was developed using focus groups and initially piloted with drug abusers not in treatment. The intervention targets drug abuse and unhealthy or high-risk sexual behaviors, which are identified by those who participate in the intervention.
Smoking and depression: current situation in Spain / Fumar y depresión: situación actual en España
Authors: Vázquez Fernando L. , Becoña Elisardo , Míguez Mª Carmen
Published: November 2017

La investigación continúa proporcionando evidencia de la relación entre la depresión y fumar cigarrillos. Entre los fumadores que buscan tratamiento para dejar de fumar hay un porcentaje elevado de ellos con una historia o padecimiento actual de trastornos y síntomas depresivos. Las personas deprimidas experimentan dificultades al dejar de fumar y en el mantenimiento de la abstinencia. En España, la investigación se ha centrado en el estudio de la relación entre fumar y síntomas depresivos. Los fumadores informan niveles más altos de sintomatología depresiva que los que no fuman. Los porcentajes de recaída son más elevados entre los que muestran más síntomas depresivos. Estos síntomas influyen en la eficacia al final del tratamiento y a los 12 meses de seguimiento. También se ha encontrado que una reducción brusca en el consumo de cigarrillos podría causar depresión mayor. Los hallazgos sugieren que los fumadores actuales pueden estar experimentando otros trastornos psiquiátricos distintos a los relacionados con la nicotina.
Control perception and coping behavior in abstinence in alcoholics / Percepción de control y comportamiento de adaptación en la abstinencia en alcohólicos
Authors: Vielva Isabel , Iraurgi Ioseba
Published: November 2017

El objetivo del estudio es encontrar factores asociados a la abstinencia. Para ello, se ha realizado un estudio observacional, transversal en el que se analiza la relación entre las atribuciones causales, las expectativas de autoeficacia y de lugar de control y la conducta de afrontamiento ante el problema de alcoholismo, por un lado, y la abstinencia, por otro, en una muestra de 201 alcohólicos en tratamiento ambulatorio. Se analizan también variables sociodemográficas y de cronicidad. Los análisis de correlación revelan una relación estrecha entre las variables psicológicas entre si y con la abstinencia: cuanto mayor es el tiempo de abstinencia, más positivas son las atribuciones causales, mayor es la autoeficacia, mayor es el lugar de control interno y más activo es el afrontamiento. Posteriormente se llevó a cabo un análisis de regresión múltiple, que mostró que algunas atribuciones, la autoeficacia y el lugar de control explicaban por si solas la abstinencia, no así el afrontamiento. Las variables sociodemográficas no resultaron tener una asociación significativa, pero sí la asistencia al tratamiento y a grupos de autoayuda. Debido a las implicaciones que tienen estas variables en el curso y pronóstico de la dependencia, se sugiere que se tengan en cuenta las variables cognitivas en el tratamiento del alcoholismo.  AbstractThe aim of the study is to determine which factors are associated with abstinence in alcoholics. Observational and cross-sectional studies were carried out to study the relationships between causal attributions, selfefficacy and locus of control expectancies, and coping behavior in the problem of alcohol abuse, on the one hand, and abstinence, on the other. Chronicity and background variables are also analyzed. Participants were 201 alcoholics in outpatient treatment. Correlation analysis revealed close relationship among the psychological variables, as well as between these variables and abstinence: longer periods of abstinence were associated with more positive causal attributions, higher self-efficacy, internal locus of control, and more active coping behavior. A hierarchical regression analysis was also performed, showing that certain attributions, self-efficacy, and locus of control accounted for abstinence, but coping did not. Background did not reveal any association, but attending treatment and self-help groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, did. Because of their relationship, it is suggested that cognitive variables should be enhanced in treatment.

Published: November 2017

El objetivo del estudio fue discernir el papel del sistema endógeno de serotonina en la abstinencia opiácea, tanto en su vertiente somática como emocional, así como su posible interacción con los efectos de la clonidina. Con tal fin, se empleó un protocolo basado en la lesión casi total de los principales centros serotoninérgicos del mesencéfalo, y también se bloqueó la actividad serotoninérgica mediante 8-hidroxi-dipropilaminotetralina (8-OHDPAT), agonista 5-HT1A. Los resultados indicaron que el sistema serotoninérgico no se encuentra involucrado en el síndrome somático de abstinencia y que la clonidina mantuvo su eficacia en el síndrome somático tras la depleción de serotonina. Los resultados también mostraron que el sistema de serotonina tampoco se encuentra involucrado en el síndrome emocional en la rata, evaluado mediante la aversión condicionada tras naloxona. Sin embargo, la eficacia antiaversiva de la clonidina se vio incrementada casi 10 veces tras la depleción casi completa de serotonina cerebral. Además, la inhibición farmacológica del sistema serotonérgico con 8-OHDPAT indujo efectos similares a la depleción serotoninérgica respecto a la eficacia antiaversiva de la clonidina. Por tanto, el uso combinado de compuestos agonistas del receptor 5-HT1A y clonidina podría ser eficaz para el tratamiento del síndrome de abstinencia opiáceo. AbstractThe aim of the study was to discern the role of the endogenous serotonin system in opiate withdrawal, in both somatic and emotional aspects, along with its possible interaction with clonidine effects. To this end, a protocol based on near complete lesion of main serotonergic brain centers was carried out, and serotonin neurotransmission was also blocked by 8-hydroxy-dipropylaminotetraline (8-OHDPAT), 5- HT1A receptor agonist. The findings revealed that the serotonin system is not involved in somatic abstinence, and clonidine efficacy was not affected after serotonin depletion. The findings also revealed that the serotonin system is not involved in the emotional aspect of opiate abstinence, as measured through conditioned place aversion in rats. However, antiaversive clonidine efficacy was enhanced near 10 times following serotonin depletion. Moreover, 8-OHDPAT treatment induced similar effects on antiaversive clonidine efficacy to those found after serotonin depletion. Hence, the combined use of 5-HT1A receptor agonists and clonidine could be of value for treatment of opiate withdrawal syndrome.

Published: November 2017

Modern technologies of food products provide creation of healthy, tasty and safe products, characterized by high organoleptic properties, balance by main food factors and structural-mechanical parameters of a product.

The main technological process in the technology of fish marinades and a jelly pouring is the hot smoking. Technological parameters of the hot smoking have been scientifically grounded on the base of the statistical processing of data of sensory studies. Organoleptic assessment of semi-products after the thermal processing was carried out by 5-point system corresponding to the elaborated scale. The quantitative assessment of organoleptic parameters of the quality of experimental samples was determined by the totality of all assessment points, taking into account chosen weight coefficients depending on the importance degree of a given parameter at forming consumer qualities of a product. The generalizing quality parameter was calculated as a sum of assessments of organoleptic parameters – taste, consistence and appearance. Individual assessments of separated quality parameters of products (in points) were put in degustation lists and statistically processed by the averaging method.

The smoking process realization, according to scientifically grounded parameters allows to produce the new type of tasty, healthy and presentable culinary products of a perspective object of Ukrainian aquaculture – silver carp of a prolonged storage term.

Published: November 2017

The aim of the research was to study the features of formation of dairy equipment microflora, the ability of microorganisms to form biofilms on the noncorrosive steel surface with the different roughness and to determine the effectiveness of disinfectants. It was established, that bacteria of Bacillus, Lactobacillus genera of Enterobacteriaceae family are most often extracted from the dairy equipment after the sanitary processing by modern disinfectors, in less number of cases – staphylococci, enterococci, streptococci and pseudomonades. Extracted bacteria form mainly biofilms of the high and middle density. In 100 % of cases biofilms of the high density were formed by Bacillus spp. and Enterococcus faecalis bacteria. It indicates the fact that at the disinfection of the dairy equipment, only stable bacteria that have the ability to produce a biofilm of the high density, remain on its surface.

It was established, that the dairy equipment surface relief, namely roughness, has an influence on the process of biofilm formation in Escherichia coli. On the noncorrosive steel surface with the roughness 0,16±0,065 mcm Escherichia coli form biofilms of the lower density comparing with the surface with the density 0,63–0,072 mcm during 24 hours at the temperature 17 °С.

It was established, that working solutions of disinfectants P3-ansep CIP, Eco chlor, Medicarine and Maxidez were more effective as to plankton bacteria. Microorganisms, formed in biofilms, turned out stable to these disinfectants. Most effective disinfectant for the influence on bacteria on biofilms is Р3-oxonia active – 150. So, the obtained data indicate that for the effective sanitary processing of the dairy equipment it is necessary to use disinfectants that influence bacteria in biofilms.

Published: November 2017

Qualitative parameters of foams, received due to glutin were studied. Technological conditions for receiving food foams were optimized. Their microstructure was determined; it was demonstrated that foam bubbles have the spherical form with the size from 50 mcm to 200 mcm (at the shaking temperature 9°С), at increasing the temperature of foam creation to 20 °С, the mean bubble size reaches 1530 mcm.

The data, obtained using IR-spectroscopy demonstrated the presence of free groups, able to bind free water molecules. The obtained microphotos of hydrated glutin demonstrated that the crystal form had not been destructed by the alkaline hydrolysis, partially dissolved at hydratation.

The obtained data give a possibility to recommend collagen hydrolyzate as an effective foaming agent and stabilizer of food systems at producing beverages of raw material fruits.

Authors: Tsykhanovska Iryna , Evlash Victoria , Alexandrov Alexandr , Svidlo Karina , Gontar Tatуana
Published: November 2017

The influence of the polyfunctional food additive "Magnetofood" on the yield, batching, shrinkage, as well as physicochemical, microbiological, organoleptic parameters of wheat–rye bread" Kharkiv Rodnichok " enriched with this additive was investigated. The introduction of the food additive "Magnetofood" helps to increase the biological value (the content of the microelement of Fe is increased by 3 mg / 100 g), the energy value (increases by 3 kcal / 100 g) and the storage period (grows by 12 hours) in the experimental bread samples " Kharkiv Rodnichok " compared with the control (wheat–rye bread "Darnitsky"). That is, the food supplement "Magnetofood" due to Fe2 + can be recommended as an antioxidant and a source of easily digestible iron and an anti–anemia agent. It has been experimentally established that the introduction of the polyfunctional food additive "Magnetofood" improves the yield and quality of wheat–rye bread. In addition, the quality of bread is influenced by the way of introduction of "Magnetofood": when introducing "Magnetofud" in the form of an oil suspension (CHI), the indices are 1–2% better than when adding the additive as a dry powder. It also follows from the data obtained that the physicochemical parameters of the experimental bread samples " Kharkiv Rodnichok " are improved in comparison with the control (Bread "Darnitsky") as follows: yield, bake, shrinkage, porosity of crumb are increased by 2–3%, 5–10 %, 5–10%, 3–6% respectively; and the crumb humidity and acidity decrease by 1% and 1.0– 1.5 °, respectively. Microbiological studies have shown that seeding Вас. subtilis after 10 days will increase: in control 2 times, and in the samples of bread "Kharkov fontanel" 1, 2 – in 1,3 times. That is, "Magnetofood" has an antimicrobial effect, which leads to better quality, preservation of freshness and lengthening the shelf life of bakery products. Thus, the introduction of the polyfunctional food additive "Magnetofood" in wheat–rye bread improves yield, quality and shelf life.

Published: November 2017

The term ‘sex workers’ refers to those involved in prostitution. This particular term is preferred as it does not have the derogatory, sexist connotation that the term ‘prostitute’ has. Belonging to a highly stigmatized profession with no financial and familial support forthcoming, the latter years of the lives of destitute female sex workers are spent in abject misery and poverty. Effort has been made to study the socio economic status and the ways adopted by these women, post active prostitution period, to support themselves and their families. This paper is based on the field study conducted in central Delhi red light area during August-September, 2016. Direct interviews with the respondents using questionnaires as well as participant observation techniques were used to collect the data. The study indicate that destitute female sex workers, once out of active prostitution, start working as domestic helpers, work with local voluntary organizations, or as helpers in brothels. The income earned is very meager with hardly any amount left to be saved. Most of the women live in one room rented accommodations. Their access to medical facilities was found to be extremely restricted.

Media and Politics: Re-Thinking the Indonesian Broadcasting System
Authors: Masduki Masduki
Published: November 2017

The emergence of the policy of broadcasting liberalization in the established democracies of Europe and North America, which is indicated by the absence of state intervention to broadcasting governance has been influencing broadcasting policy in the new democracies, including Indonesia. Is it true that Indonesia adopts a liberal broadcasting policy? This paper outlines two issues. First, the academic debate surrounding broadcasting system in the world. Second, discussion as stated by scholars on a thesis of the enactment of the liberal media system in Indonesia that is primarily based on the broadcasting policies after Suharto’s reign of power, among others Law 32/2002 on Broadcasting. Based on the intensive literature review, it can be concluded that the broadcasting system prevailing in Indonesia is not purely liberal, but a mix of liberal and authoritarian model, a unique character that also occurs in the post-communist and post-authoritarian states in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. This mix is indicated within the last fifteen years through the adoption of public and community broadcasters and the establishment of Komisi Penyiaran Indonesia (KPI) as an independent regulator that were accompanied with the existing control of the ruling government to public broadcasters (RRI & TVRI); the weak mandate of KPI and the omission of commercial broadcasting domination.

The availability of good physical quality and high seed vigor is expected to occur with good handling of storage. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two storage periods [10 months (p1) and 12 months (p2)] and different sorghum varieties of Kawali (V1), Talaga Bodas (V2), Super-1 (V3), and Pahat (V4) on the physical quality and sorghum seed vigor. This experiment was conducted at the Laboratory of Seeds and Plant Breeding, Faculty of Agriculture, the University of Lampung during November 2015 to November 2016. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two replications. The variable damaged seed was higher by 24.19% compared to seeds stored for 10 months at 14.73%. The percentage of total normal seedling after store 12 months (59.50%) was lower than 10 months (78.00%). Speed germination of seed after store 12 months (24.58%/day) was lower than the stored 10 months (36.47%/day). Tetrazolium test for vigor showed no different results from germination test results. The variety that has the best seedling vigor was Super-1 indicated by primary root length and dry weight of normal seedlings.
Disagreement Studies Reviewed and My Coy Disagreements
Authors: Xu Lingling
Published: November 2017

Through reviewing and combing the previous studies on linguistic disagreement over the past three decades from four dimensions or research hotspots—definitions of disagreement, classifications of disagreement, factors affecting the ways of raising disagreement, and strategies to present disagreement, this study shows that disagreement has experienced the transformation from being regarded as a marginal impolite phenomenon to an important, common socio-pragmatic phenomenon catching a mounting number of linguists’ attention. They define disagreement via directions or discoveries of corresponding studies, but the vague boundary between the synonymous concepts restrains the definition progress. The criteria of taxonomies, with their respective merits and demerits, contain the forms, functions and levels of disagreement. As to the factors affecting the disagreement raising, contextualization becomes the trend. But the overlaps of the specific factors’ scopes leave space for scrutinization. It is found that, given significant multi-perspective findings, disagreement literature often rents ideas from Impoliteness Theory, conducive to the discount of objectivity and pertinence of their elaboration. The disagreement-response or disagreement-reaction part, overtly rarely studied, makes a breakthrough for further research.

Published: November 2017

Kopyor is a recessive-gene-trait coconut that has a delicious taste and high prices. One of several major problems of kopyor coconut cultivation is leaf spot disease. Endophytic bacteria originated from Arecaceae can be used as a biocontrol agents to control the disease in a sustainable way. The objective of the research was to select endophytic bacteria isolated from Arecaceae roots and leaves such as Pejibaye (Bactris gasipaes), Oil Palm (Elaeis guinensis), Kopyor Coconut (Cocos nucifera), Sugar Palm (Arenga pinnata) and Nibung (Oncosperma filamentosa) as biocontrol agent of Pestalotiopsis sp. Fourty isolates of endophyte bacteria are not pathogen to plant or animal and human. There are seven best selected endophytic isolates that can inhibit Pestalotiopsis sp. Some of them have the ability to dissolve phosphate, produce IAA, chitinase, and fix nitrogen. Those isolates are  EAKSS 502, EAKSS 507, EAKSS 509, EAKSS 510, EAAPN 237, EAONN 545 and EAKPN 201.

New conditions for the existence of equilibrium prices
Authors: Arutyunov Aram , Pavlova Natalia , Shananin Aleksandr
Published: November 2017

We study the existence of equilibrium price vector in a supply-demand model taking into account the transaction costs associated with the sale of products. In this model, the demand function is the solution to the problem of maximizing the utility function under budget constraints. The supply function is the solution to the problem of maximizing the profit (with given transaction losses) on the technology set. We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of the equilibrium price vector, which are consequences of some theorems in the theory of covering mappings.
"El puente de hierro". Relato inacabado de José María Arguedas
Authors: Álvarez Rolando
Published: November 2017

El ensayo reflexiona sobre el sentido de heterogeneidad e hibridación en el relato “El puente de hierro”, de José María Arguedas, trabajo al que se ha considerado como un texto no acabado y que a partir de esta condición ofrece grandes posibilidades interpretativas. Postulamos, en este sentido, que pueden encontrarse en él rasgos de opera aperta, lo que nos lleva a considerar la problemática de su recepción. Arguedas, en este trabajo que temáticamente se aleja de su andinismo, no pierde por ello los rasgos estéticos e ideológicos que son fundamento de la totalidad de su obra narrativa.
Sincretimo "mágico": laberintos en los textos de Jorge Luis Borges y de la "nueva novela" francesa
Authors: Eisemann György , Báder Petra
Published: November 2017

La prosa latinoamericana postmoderna recrea de alguna manera las ideas de la “nueva novela” francesa. El llamado “realismo mágico”, con su ficcionalidad tendente a lo fantástico, a menudo enriquece las características irracionales-aporéticas de la narrativa de la “nueva novela” con ciertos procedimientos como la hibridación y el sincretismo estilístico-cultural. En este estudio se propone a examinar según los aspectos anteriormente mencionados a dos relatos muy discutidos de Jorge Luis Borges (“El jardín de los senderos que se bifurcan” y “Abenjacán el Bojarí, muerto en su laberinto”), ambos vinculados con uno de los tropos maestros del œuvre borgeano: el motivo del laberinto. Se puede observar en ellos dos formas antagónicas del sincretismo: el primer cuento se fundamenta en la naturaleza significativa —significativa porque deviene mensaje (lenguaje comprensible, información)— del diálogo de elementos desemejantes, mientras que el segundo pone en escena la variación infinita de signos despojados de significado, de irreconocibles referencias “sin rostro” que, impeliéndose, negándose y apartándose, llegan a formar una suerte de vorágine. Las dos novelas de Alain Robbe-Grillet que se pretenden comparar con los cuentos borgeanos de manera esquemática serán En el Laberinto y La doble muerte del profesor Dupont.
La autobiografía como género de fontera: dos escritoras mexicanas De cuerpo entero
Authors: Gutiérrez Piña Claudia L.
Published: November 2017

En la década de 1990 apareció en México la colección de autobiografías De cuerpo entero, con la participación de veintinueve escritores mexicanos. La pluralidad de las propuestas vertidas en sus títulos revela la condición fronteriza que Pozuelo Yvancos ha señalado como característica inherente a la naturaleza de este género. En este artículo se analizan dos de estas propuestas pertenecientes a las escritoras Ethel Krauze y Angelina Muñiz-Huberman, en el marco de su aportación para la autobiografía escrita por mujeres y para la vida del género en el contexto literario mexicano.

Graphic Novel in Foreign Language Class. Working with graphic novels in a foreign language class increases the motivation of learners towards the language. Students get an idea of the text and themes by the help of the pictures; so it´s easier for them to get into the text. They do not only read the text or pictures –graphic novel offer sequences, so it is possible to teach the visual literacy as well as reading competences. Moreover it´s possible to work with authentic themes, themes which are not made for foreign language learners. A lot of different competences could be taught by working with graphic novels in a foreign language class.
REZUMAT. Romanul grafic în predarea limbilor străine. Întrebuinţarea romanelor grafice în orele de limbă măreşte motivaţia elevilor pentru învăţarea limbilor străine. Aceştia trebuie să citească nu numai textul sau imaginile, ci, întrucât romanul grafic oferă secvenţe, să se iniţieze în lectura vizualului devenită competenţă de a citi. În plus, este posibil să se lucreze cu teme autentice, teme care nu sunt fabricate special pentru cursanții de limbi străine. Numeroase competențe pot fi formate cu uşurinţă prin întrebuinţarea romanelor grafice în lecţiile de limbi străine.

“MY STRUGGLE” – FROM AUTOBIOGRAPHY TO PERFORMATIVE BIOGRAPHISM
Authors: POPA Ștefana
Published: November 2017

My Struggle – from Autobiography to Performative Biographism.  The present article aims at showing that the work of the contemporary Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgård, a series of six volumes entitled My Struggle, fulfills the criteria specific to various literary (sub)-genres. I will investigate the particularities that raise the most questions regarding the framing of such a work and analyze three categorizations of My Struggle, i.e. autobiography, autofiction and performative biographism. The analysis will be constructed especially in the context of Norwegian and Scandinavian literary space, but international perspectives will also be taken into consideration.
REZUMAT. Lupta Mea – de la autobiografie la biografism performativ. Articolul de față își propune să arate că proza în șase volume Lupta Mea, a autorului norvegian contemporan Karl Ove Knausgård, îndeplinește criteriile de analiză specifice mai multor (sub)-genuri literare. Se vor investiga particularitățile care problematizeaza localizarea operei intr un gen proxim și se vor examina trei posibile încadrări ale acesteia, ca autobiografie, autoficțiune și biografism performativ. Analiza va fi construită în special în contextul spațiului literar norvegian și scandinav, dar vor fi luate în considerare și perspective internaționale, atunci când va fi cazul.
