The Avadānaśataka
Authors: Appleton Naomi
Published: February 2022

Part A of the volume introduces the Avadānaśataka and its themes and concerns, with a particular focus on placing the first four chapters of the text – those translated in Part B of the volume – into the context of developing ideas about the Buddha and buddhahood. After a general introduction to the text, the discussion moves through themes that are core to each of the chapters under discussion: the many buddhas of the past and future who feature in chapters 1 and 2; the past lives of the most recent Buddha, Śākyamuni, which are related in chapters 2 and 4; and the pratyekabuddhas (beings awakened in times of no Buddhism) of chapter 3. The discussion then uses features common to the whole text, including miracles, aspirations and predictions, to mount an argument that the Avadānaśataka treads a fine line between acknowledging the validity of the three paths to awakening (full buddhahood, pratyekabuddhahood and arhatship) while clearly placing full buddhahood at the pinnacle. Furthermore, even within the category of full buddhas, Śākyamuni Buddha takes centre stage as the miracle-working, prediction-making, magical-smiling, utterly awe-inspiring Buddha of our time.

About nonlinear integro-differential Volterra and Fredholm equations
Authors: Baiburin Merkhasyl
Published: February 2022

Two nonlinear problems in terms of abstract operator equations of the form Bx = f are investigated in this paper. In the first problem the operator B contains a linear differential operator A , the Volterra operator K with kernel of convolution type and the inner product of vectors g ( x )Ф( u ) with nonlinear bounded functionals Φ. The first problem is given by equation Bu ( x ) = Аu ( x ) - Ku ( x ) - g ( x )Ф( u ) = f ( x ) with boundary condition D ( B ) = D ( A ). In the second problem the operator B contains a linear differential operator A and the inner product of vectors g ( x )F( Аu ) with nonlinear bounded on C [ a , b ] functionals F , where F ( Аu ) denotes the nonlinear Fredholm integral. The second problem is presented by equation Bu = Аu - gF ( Au ) = f with boundary condition D ( B ) = D ( A ). A direct method for exact solutions of nonlinear integro-differential Volterra and Fredholm equations is proposed. Specifically, the three theorems about existing exact solutions are proved in this paper. The first theorem is mean that for nonzero constant α0 Volterra integro-differential equation Аu ( x ) - Ku ( x ) = 0 is reducing to Volterra integral equation and has a unique zero solution. During it the operator A - K is closed and continuously invertible. Also, if the functions u ( t ), g ( t ) and f ( t ) are of exponential order α then nonhomogeneous equation Аu ( x ) - Ku ( x ) = f ( x ) for each f ( x ) has a unique solution, shown in this paper. The second theorem is mean that for the first investigated problem with an injective operator A - K , for f ( x ) and g ( x ) from C [ a , b ], the exact solution is given by equation u = ( A - K )- 1 f +( A - K )- 1 g b* for every vector b* = Ф( u ) that solves nonlinear algebraic (transcendental) system of n equations b = Ф(( A - K )- 1 f +( A - K )- 1 g b). And if the last algebraic system has no solution, then investigated problem also has no solution. The third theorem is means that exact solution of the second investigated problem is given by u = A - 1( f+g d*) for every vector d* = F ( Au ) that solves nonlinear algebraic (transcendental) system of n equations d = F ( f + g d). In this case we have same property - if the last algebraic system has no solution, then investigated problem also has no solution. Two particular examples for each considered problem are shown for illustration of exact solutions giving by perform the suggested in this paper methods. In the first example was considered integro-differential Volterra and Fredholm equation and in the second case was considered equation with nonlinear Fredholm integral.
Tarekat Syattariyah dan Alawiyah: Pemikiran dan Dinamika Jaringan Islam di Sulawesi Tengah Abab XVII-XX M
Authors: Azis Muhammad Nur Ichsan , Djakaria Salmin
Published: February 2022

Pemikiran Islam di kawasan Sulawesi Tengah tumbuh sejak abad XVII. Dato Karama meletakkan dasar perwajahan Islam di Sulawesi tengah. Sedangkan Sayyid Idrus bin Salim Aljufrie melanjutkan estafet perkembangan Islam di Sulawesi Tengah dengan mengembangkan pendidikan Islam modern pada abad XX. Keduanya memiliki ciri khas tersendiri dalam menentukan perkembangan Islam melalui metode Islamisasi adaptif dan modernis. Akhirnya Islam menjadi pranata yang integral di tengah masyarakat Sulawesi Tengah. Kedua figur tersebut juga dikenal sebagai penganut tarekat Syattariyah dan Alawiyyah. Tulisan ini memanfaatkan metode sejarah sebagaimana dijabarakan Kuntowijoyo (2006), bahwa peristiwa sejarah tidak hanya menujukkan sisi periodik satu peristiwa, namun arah dan gerak peristiwa yang dapat mengubah sebuah fenomena atau peristiwa dari satu objek. Sebuah persitiwa historis membutuhkan ilmu bantu untuk membedah setiap sisi dari persitiwa yang telah terjadi di masa lalu. Oleh karena itu, Sartono (1982) berkesimpulan jika narasi sejarah idealnya ditulis dengan memperhatikan penjelasan kausalitas dan determiner dalam satu persitiwa. Akhirnya tulisan ini berkesimpulan suksesnya poros Islamisasi di Sulawesi tidak sekadar kronik sejarah, lebih jauh ia berimplikasi pada historiografi yang optimis dimana pemikiran dan dinamika gerakan Islam di Sulawesi Tengah pada sampai pada abad XX memperkuat posisi serta warisan pemikiran sejarah Islam di Sulawesi Tengah.

Logic Of Phallus And Object Of Desire: Rethinking ‘Masculinities’ in Literary Works of Contemporary Indonesian Woman Writers
Authors: Fawaid Achmad
Published: February 2022

The recent studies commonly pointed out that literary works of contemporary Indonesian women writers have coined feminist ideology. However, the study on reading these writers in ‘masculine’ perspective is rarely given. This study amins to analyze the works of two important Indonesian women writers, Ayu Utami and Djenar Maesa Ayu to demonstrate the inadequate definition of labels 'masculine' and 'feminine’ as binary opposition between male and female for explaining a much more fundamental problem: desire. This study concluded that first, the short stories of Ayu Utami and Djenar Maesa Utami demonstrate—in Connell's terminology—the master signifier or—in Lacan's terminology—phallic desire towards male, meaning that, instead of being regarded as "feminist champions," they are possible to be considered as "masculine without an object." Second, concept of "masculine without an object" is plural and splitted. Although neither Djenar nor Utami can avoid the fact that they are female, both of them were born into a multifaceted environment, an environment that strove to break down an essentialist barrier between male and female.

Protein Adsorption on Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate and Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate): Adsorption Isotherms and Conformational Analysis of the Adsorbed Protein
Authors: AKDOĞAN Ebru
Published: February 2022

The equilibrium adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) surfaces was studied at different solution concentrations. The equilibrium adsorption data were fitted to the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models. The protein adsorption behaviour was further investigated by analysing the conformation of surface adsorbed BSA using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with an Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) apparatus. The results showed that the Freundlich isotherm is a better fit for the adsorption of BSA on PHB and PHBV surfaces, which can be explained by the significant conformational changes that BSA undergoes upon adsorption.
Factors influencing teachers’ level of digital citizenship in underdeveloped regions of China
Authors: Liu Yunyun , Liu Qidong
Published: February 2022

In digital times, new demands for higher levels of digital citizenship (DC) have aroused concern. Based on the study reported on here, we propose that 4 predictive factors, i.e., internet self-efficacy, internet attitudes, internet use behaviour and demographic characteristics affect teachers’ level of DC in underdeveloped regions of China. From 21 different provinces, 240 primary teachers in underdeveloped regions in China participated in this quantitative research. The description, significance, correlation, and structural equation modelling (SEM) were statistically performed and analysed. We concluded the following: 1) The average score for DC is low and its 5 dimensions score differently with the highest being the ethical element and the lowest being networking agency and critical perspective; no statistically-significant differences exist for gender, school types, teaching subject and professional rank in predicting DC, but do exist for birth-era, suggesting that young teachers have a higher level of DC. 2) Internet self-efficacy, internet attitudes and internet use behaviour are positively correlated with DC. 3) In the SEM test, internet use behaviour acts as a mediator in the research model; internet self-efficacy is the major determinant of DC, followed by internet use behaviour and internet attitudes. The results were analysed and recommendations to promote teachers’ high-level DC in underdeveloped regions are proposed.
Natural sciences teachers’ continuous professional development through a Community of Practice
Authors: Philander Christa Joline , Botha Marie-Louise
Published: February 2022

Years of research on teacher quality indicate that the quality and effectiveness of teachers have a significant influence on learner achievements. The quality of teachers and their teaching practice is widely debated where quality may depend on the teacher having acquired sound and relevant knowledge and skills to ensure effective teaching. The continuous professional development of teachers is a key element in ensuring the required quality in teaching to enhance learners’ achievements. Utilising Wenger’s construct of a Community of Practice (CoP) as theoretical framework, with the investigation reported on here, we aimed to understand how natural sciences teachers, from a specific rural school district in the Western Cape province, South Africa, experienced a CoP as a continuing professional teacher development (CPTD) strategy. This investigation was informed by a naturalistic case study method where open-ended questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and observations were utilised for data generation during CoP sessions. Thematic data-analysis revealed themes (words/phrases) for interpretation and discussion. Preliminary findings highlighted some emerging characteristics that influenced the effective operation of a CoP and suggested that participants acknowledged the importance of a CoP, indicating that their natural sciences knowledge and skills had notably increased. We argue that emerging CoP characteristics can assist in the advancement of motivation, effectiveness and professional development of natural sciences teachers in rural areas, affording quality teachers and teaching practices.

Published: February 2022

This literature review analyzes current data on the main stages of child’s heart contractility development from prenatal to postnatal period. The presented information will expand the conventional ideas on the age-related cardiovascular physiology in children, supplementing with relevant knowledge about the patterns of left ventricular mechanics, and the mechanisms affecting child’s heart morphology. In addition, we consider the evolutionary feasibility of the simultaneous existence of various left ventricular mechanics models, which ensure the effective cardiac function in the postnatal period. This is very important for the work of neonatologists, pediatricians, pediatric cardiologists and therapists.

The Empowering Paradox of “1 = 2.” Mark Z. Danielewski’s Arithmopoetics
Authors: Sezer Burak
Published: February 2022

This paper analyzes Danielewski's poetics of numbers and digits in the first season of The Familiar. I argue that Danielewski's recent work signals a balance shift from the topological to the arithmetical. In this regard, numbers fulfill a crucial role (1) in the serial makeup of the volumes, which could be labelled as his exorithmetic; (2) in the plot of the novel itself, his endorithmetic; and (3) as a recursive device that conjoins the materiality of the novel with the numbers in the plot, his mesorithmetic. While Danielewski's exorithmetic provokes hypotheses about the voluminousness of the project, the staggering numbers in the world of The Familiar are related to Xanther's epilepsy, Dov's teachings, and Anwar's trauma.

As the population ages, both Alzheimer’s disease and periodontal disease may increase in incidence. Both do not have a cure and can affect quality of life. Research is being conducted to determine causes, treatments and potential relationship to each other. Proposed mechanisms to how they are related is via inflammation and/or bacteria. Several studies have addressed if dental treatment could improve cognitive function. However, further research is needed to further elucidate the relationship between both diseases. Common therapeutic approaches may help to manage both conditions, determine susceptibility and possibly prevention.

The COVID-19 Vaccines: A Description of Adverse Events or Reactions Reported in Kansas
Authors: Mills Kale , Tri Anna , Nilsen Kari
Published: February 2022

Introduction. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and has spread rapidly throughout the world since its discovery in 2019. Three vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna/NIAID/BARDA, and Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen) have been developed for use in the U.S. to aid in the fight against this virus, but have been scrutinized intensely for their efficacy and safety. It is important to understand and interpret the adverse events or reactions (AERs) associated with these vaccines in an objective and analytical manner. The goal of this descriptive study was to provide a resource outlining AERs associated with the three available vaccines in Kansas.
Methods. Reports were obtained from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), representing AERs observed in Kansas from December 11th, 2020, to May 13th, 2021. All data were screened and coded, and descriptive statistics were used to describe AERs based on vaccine manufacturer, age, gender, and reported deaths.
Results. Only 0.068% of COVID-19 vaccines doses given were associated with an AER. The most common AERs were fatigue/tiredness, tingling/itching, fever, hives, and muscle/joint paint. Only 0.002% of reports to VAERS were associated with a death. The majority of reports were by females (78.8%) and those aged 30 to 39 (20.6%).
Conclusions. No reported AERs were unexpected compared to national data, and no VAERs report provided a causal relationship between vaccine administration and death. Vaccines are, and will continue to be, essential tools to fight COVID-19. Providing a resource of potential AERs could aid in individual decisions to receive a vaccine and may help in the control of COVID-19.

Buradan hareketle çalışma, oldukça ilginç bir bağlam olan Kıbrıs’a odaklanmayı ve yöresel-kırsal konutun mekânsal değişimine bakmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, öncelikle özgün mekânsal kullanımın desteklediği temel konut tipolojilerinin tanıtılması amaçlamaktadır. Bunu takiben, değişimlere uyum gösteren konut tipolojileri ile değişimin etkisiyle özünden uzaklaşıp dönüşüm geçiren konut tipolojilerinin belirlenmesi ve mekânsal farklılıklarının tartışılması hedeflemektedir. Çalışma kapsamında, alan araştırması için, Kıbrıs’taki yöresel-kırsal mimarinin özelliklerini günümüze kadar taşıyan Büyükkonuk Köyü (Kom-i Kebir) seçilmiştir. Buradaki konutların ağırlıklı olarak 1974’ten önce Kıbrıslı Türk ve Kıbrıslı Rumlar tarafından inşaa edildikleri; bugün Kıbrıslı Türkler ve 1974’ten sonra Türkiye’den göç eden ve Kıbrıs vatandaşı olan Türkler tarafından kullanıldıkları; değişen yaşam koşulları ile değişen kullanıcı yapısına bağlı olarak mekânsal ve işlevsel olarak ciddi bir değişim içinde oldukları bilinmektedir. Köy konut dokusu içinde, Kıbrıs yöresel-kırsal konut mimarisinde en yaygın görülen üç temel tip olan ‘sündürmesiz’, ‘iç sofalı’ ve ‘sündürmeli’ konutlar arasından değişimin tespit edilebildiği konutlar seçilmiştir. Bu bağlamda konutların orijinal mekânsal organizasyonu ile bugünkü değişime uğramış durumunu karşılaştırmak amacıyla, mekân dizimi analiz yöntemine başvurulmuştur. Seçilen konutların mekân organizasyonlarının tespitini içeren alan çalışması, gözlemler ve kullanıcı ile yapılan görüşmelerle de desteklenmiştir.
FREQUENCY FOLLOWING RESPONSES IN YOUNG, MIDDLE, AND LATE ADULTHOOD
Authors: A.K. NITHIN , P.K. Sinju
Published: February 2022

Introduction

Previous work using speech evoked ABR reported a significant decline in onset and offset responses with advancing age, but no differences for Frequency Following Responses (FFRs). Many researchers report reduced neural synchrony as age advances. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aging on FFRs.

Material and methods

A total of 45 participants were included in the study. They were divided into three groups of 15 individuals: young adults (20–40 years), middle aged adults (41–60 years), and older adults (>60 years). All had normal hearing sensitivity and were free from any otologic or neurologic disorder. FFRs were obtained using a /da/ stimulus of 40 ms and 80 dBnHL containing five formants. To minimize preferential recording of activity from either side, a midline electrode site was used. Data analysis followed Russo et al. [1]. The seven peaks of the response to /da/ (waves V, A, C, D, E, F, O) were identified by two experienced audiologists as onset responses, spectro-temporal responses, fundamental frequency, and harmonics.

Results

Findings were that the occurrence of waves V and A was 100% in all individuals, but the occurrence of waves C and O was 60% in young adults, 73% in middle age adults, and 53% in older adults.

Conclusions

These findings suggest that older listeners have a general reduction in synchronous neural firing to speech stimuli. In particular, the ability of neurons in the auditory system to accurately encode important temporal features of speech may in older adults be limited by impaired neural synchrony, slowed neural conduction time, reduced phase locking ability, or other mechanisms.

Plant contig clustering based assembly (PLCL) pipeline: an efficient long-read assembly tool for plant chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes v1
Authors: Nishii Kanae
Published: February 2022

Third generation NGS long-read sequences become popular for draft genome assembly. Here, we developed an efficient plant chloroplast assembly tool for whole genome assemblies from long-read datasets. This pipeline could be used also for mitochondrial genome assembly if the coverage is sufficiently high. The PLCL pipeline works on an assembled draft genome. Summary of the PLCL pipeline Step 1: Creating a blastn database of the draft genome assembly and search for target sequences (chloroplast or mitochondria) as the queries. Step 2: Checking the coverage (mean depth) of each contig in the draft genome using minimap2 and samtools. Step 3: Combining the results from step 1 (“blast_out.tsv”) and step 2 (“coverage.tsv”). Step 4: Optional: k-means analyses for clustering the draft genome contigs with the Perl Algorithm::KMeans package. Step 5: Optional: Visualizing blastn bitscore and samtoolscoverage data by R ggplot2.

Published: February 2022

Velocity of Na+/Li+ countertransport through erethrocyte membrane in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), accompanied by different forms of chronic cerebral ischemia has been studied. Incidence analysis of separate variants of CHF in quartiles of values at NA+/LI+ countertransport velocity showed that in men with arterial hypertension an etiologic factor of CHF is very frequently caused by low velocity of NA+/LI+ countertransport. And men with CHF on the basis of the ischemic heart disease more frequently have a high gradation of functional disorders in cardiac activity and are characterised by a high velocity of the IVth quartile NA+/LI+ countertransport. Analysis of men with different forms of cerebral ischemia showed prevalence of moderate velocities of NA+/LI+ countertransport.

Pulse elongation and deconvolution processing for the signal-to-noise ratio improvement in medical ultrasonic imaging
Authors:   , Haider Bruno H. , Lewin Peter Andreas
Published: February 2022

The purpose of this research was to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of an ultrasound image and concurrently minimize the instantaneous peak pressure amplitude of the interrogating ultrasound wave. It is well known that the SNR of a medical ultrasonic imaging system can be improved by increasing the pulse duration of the transmitted waveform. However, the elongated waveform leads to deterioration in image quality by introducing blurring effects. To restore the original image quality a novel approach based on a modified pulse compression technique was developed. The novelty of the approach presented here is the combination of pulse elongation with optimal inverse filtering or deconvolution. The advantage of this method over other pulse compression techniques is the simultaneous minimization of electronic noise and range sidelobes. The deconvolution is implemented as a modified Wiener filter since the standard Wiener filter is inadequate in removing sidelobes. The question of how the excitation waveform should be elongated was addressed and an analytical expression for the optimal power spectrum of the excitation signal was derived. It is demonstrated that due to corner points in the optimized spectrum the desired time waveform is not realizable. Therefore, several numerical methods were investigated for their ability to find optimized waveforms with additional constraints on waveform amplitude and duration. It is shown that the numerical solutions approach the analytical solution for increasing pulse lengths. An experimental system has been built to verify the results of the analytical and numerical methods. The system is based on a commercial ultrasound scanner with appropriate modifications to the transmitting and receiving electronics. The system allows for real time image acquisition and off line signal processing. The results of in-vitro and in-vivo images including liver, gallbladder and kidney are presented side-by-side with those obtained using a conventional ultrasound scanner. The imaging results clearly evidence that improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio is feasible without increasing the peak pressure amplitudes of the transmitted waveforms. Implications for improved safety of ultrasound diagnostic devices are pointed out. Also, fundamental limitations of the approach are summarized and possible future improvements are suggested.
The role of corporate directors in declining organizations
Authors:   , Halpin Annette Louise , SubbaNarasimha P. N.
Published: February 2022

This study examined the three roles (Control, Strategic, and Service) of directors at declining firms. It was expected that boards adopt certain roles during a decline which are reflected in their attributes (composition, characteristics, and structure) and related to performance during and after the decline. The 127 firms in this ample had three consecutive years of declining Return on Sales. Using a three-stage, nine-year model, U.S. manufacturing firms with available data in the Compustat database were identified. Board data were collected from proxy statements to test the lagged relationship of board attributes and performance. Cause of Decline (Internal vs. External) was introduced as a moderating variable. The board variables included: board size; proportion of outside directors; stock ownership of outsiders; financial and total board interlocks; outsider background-manufacturing experience; outsider background-current executive; outsider tenure; outsider age; and unitary board leadership. Cause of Decline was determined by pairs of judges who read about the declining organizations then recorded the degree to which they thought the decline was due to internal or external factors. Correlations and multiple regression analysis were conducted on the data. There was limited support for the hypotheses. At firms whose declines were due to internal causes, board size, financial interlocks, total interlocks, outside director background-executive, and outside director age were positively related to performance. When declines were due to external causes these same variables were negatively correlated. In the analysis of outsider proportion and outsider tenure there were no significant main or interaction effects. This argues against mandating the composition of a board (insiders vs. outsiders) and length of appointment. In several models the significant interaction and/or main effect involved variables which measured a change in a board attribute or performance over time. This suggests that boards are dynamic bodies which should be examined in terms of how changes to them might be associated with performance. The contributions of this study include using cause of decline as a moderating variable, examining the performance relationship in a lagged model, and including the change in variables (board and performance) in the analysis.
Practicality of Seed Morpho-anatomical Characters for the Identification of Species Alyssum (Brassicaceae) in Turkey: a Systematic Approach
Authors: KARAİSMAİLOĞLU Cengiz
Published: February 2022

In this work, morphological and anatomical features of seeds of 15 Alyssum taxa (A. caricum, A. davisianum, A. filiforme, A. haussknechtii, A. murale subsp. murale var. murale, A. simplex, A. sibiricum, A. desertorum, A. hirsutum subsp. hirsutum, A. minutum, A. strictum, A. strigosum subsp. strigosum, A. szowitsianum, A. dasycarpum and A. linifolium var. linifolium) from Turkey were examined with the cluster analysis, and the systematic importance of these characteristics was assessed. The findings exhibited that there were variations among the taxa with respect to seed form, color, and wing existence. The seed dimensions were between 0.43 - 2.12 mm in length, and between 0.34 - 2.05 mm in width. A. davisianum and A. filiforme were remarkably distinct from others in terms of seed dimension, the first having the smallest and the second having the largest seeds. The surface ornamentation was categorized as nine types; reticulate-foveate, scalariform, tuberculate, alveolate, reticulate-alveolate, aculate, ruminate, verrucate and rugose. The most common type was alveolate, however; tuberculate and rugose types were taxon specific. Also, formation and thicknesses in testa and endosperm layers were studied anatomically. Seed morphological and anatomical features with a few exclusions revealed variety and they were of the taxonomic significance in discrimination of the studied taxa.
