KONSEPTUALISASI METAFORA DALAM RUBRIK OPINI KOMPAS: KAJIAN SEMANTIK KOGNITIF
Authors: Haula Baiq , Nur Tajudin
Published: April 2019

Conceptualization of Metaphors in the 2018 Kompas Opinion Rubric: Cognitive Semantic Studies. This study aims to reveal the types of conceptual metaphors in Kompas opinion writing in 2018. This type of research includes qualitative research that is descriptive analysis. The method used in this study is the Agih method with advanced techniques for Direct Elements. The results showed that the ontology metaphor was dominantly found in writing opinion rubrics compared to structural and orientational metaphors. The author of opinion transfers more of the construction of his abstract ideas into objects that have physical properties. The characteristic of metaphor found that metaphor is associated with nature, such as shipwreck, collapse, storm sweeping, farming, and blowing. Image schemes depicted from the concepts of dominant metaphors represent the concept of existence.

Published: April 2019

Geographical and agricultural conditions exist in the Madura Island that the Madura Island is an area with hot temperatures and has a low rainfall. This research was conducted in the tropics with little rainfall, this study also looked at whether the location intended by the researchers could be used to carry out the process of cultivating oyster mushrooms and whether this effort could continue to be developed. This research used a qualitative paradigm approach to provide an aspect of flexibility in gathering information from informants about the development of oyster mushroom cultivation. The results of this research can be seen cultivation of white oyster mushroom can be done in lowland area with the supporting factors such as land, water resources and other support. This cultivation business can be done by all gender. The potential or business opportunities through the cultivation of white oyster mushrooms in low areas is very large because the results obtained can be doubled from the capital that must be issued by the business. Actually we can get more profit if farmers can be more creative by processing white oyster mushrooms into processed products that have added value then the farmers will also get bigger results again, not even just doubled but can be many times over. Because the real business should be able to think creative and innovative.
Vuoden 2015 ”pakolaiskriisi” ja sarjakuva-aktivismi Suomessa
Authors: Kauranen Ralf , Löytty Olli , Nikkilä Aura , Vuorinne Anna
Published: April 2019

Syksyn 2015 niin sanottu pakolaiskriisi herätti suomalaisen sarjakuvakentän aktiivit toimimaan. Aktiivisuus näkyi muuttoliikettä käsittelevinä sarja- ja pilakuvina, julkaisu- ja näyttelytoimintana, sarjakuvaoriginaalien myymisenä turvapaikanhakijoiden auttamiseksi sekä turvapaikanhakijoille suunnattuina työpajoina. Artikkelissa kuvataan ja analysoidaan sarjakuvakentällä syntyneitä reaktioita ja tulkitaan toimintaa esteettisen kosmopolitanismin käsitteen avulla, jolla tarkoitetaan paitsi taiteelle ominaista mielikuvituksen ja kuvittelun rajattomuutta, myös taiteen mahdollisuuksia käsitellä siirtolaisuuden ja liikkeen läpäisemää maailmaa. Vaikka näkökulmamme on taiteensosiologinen, siinä analysoidaan tilanteessa syntyneitä sarjakuvia myös tekstilähtöisesti. Analysoitavina ovat ajankohtaiset pilakuvat, Suomen sarjakuvaseuran antirasistinen Nyt riittää!-pamfletti, Sami Nyyssölän ja Anssi Vieruahon irakilaisen turvapaikanhakijan pakoa kuvaava 24 päivää-albumi sekä työpajoissa valmistuneet ns. ruohonjuurisarjakuvat.

Artikkelissa esitämme, että auttamishaluna näkyvä avoimuus tulijoita kohtaan, paikalliseen poliittiseen keskusteluun osallistuminen antirasistisesta näkökulmasta ja pyrkimykset tuoda turvapaikanhakijoiden omat kuvaukset kokemuksistaan osaksi julkista keskustelua perustuvat sarjakuvakulttuurille ominaiseen transnationaaliseen yhteisöllisyyteen. Samalla tällaiset auttamisen tavat voi tulkita taiteen, ja tässä erityisesti sarjakuvakerronnan, kosmopoliittisuudesta kumpuavaksi eettiseksi näkökulmaksi.
Virolainen näytelmä Suomessa vuoteen 1944
Authors: Seppälä Mikko-Olavi
Published: April 2019

Artikkeli luo kokonaiskuvan virolaisen näytelmäkirjallisuuden välittämisestä, esittämisestä ja vastaanotosta Suomessa vuoteen 1944. Samalla se rikastuttaa kuvaa virolais-suomalaisista kirjallisista suhteista ja niihin vaikuttaneista tekijöistä. Kirjallisuudentutkimuksessa näytelmät ja niiden esitykset ovat jääneet vähälle huomiolle, koska kyse on pääsääntöisesti painamattomista käsikirjoituksista. Erityisen vähälle huomiolle ovat jääneet populaarit viihteelliset lajityypit. Esittävä teatteri on kuitenkin ollut tärkeä kirjallisuuden välityskeino myös proosamuotoisille teoksille. Artikkelin lähteenä on käytetty tutkimusten lisäksi Suomen Näyttämöiden Liiton ja Työväen Näyttämöiden Liiton arkistoja, näytelmätekstejä sekä aikalaislehdistöä. Artikkelissa 1) esitellään virolaisten näytelmien tuotantomäärät Suomessa vuosina 1908–1944; 2) kuvataan yksityiskohtaisesti prosessia, miten virolaiset näytelmät päätyivät suomalaisiksi teatteriesityksiksi 3) esitellään suosituimpien virolaisnäytelmien vastaanottoa 4) suhteutetaan tulokset yleiskuvaan virolaisen kirjallisuuden menekistä Suomessa, virolaisen näytelmäkirjallisuuden kaanonista sekä suomalaisten näytelmien esityksistä Virossa.
Vuoden 2019 viimeisen Avaimen teemana matkakirjallisuus
Authors: Kuortti Joel
Published: April 2019

Numerossa 4/2019 pureudutaan matkakirjallisuuden tutkimuksen moninaiseen kenttään. Tutkimusala tarjoaa tärkeitä näkökulmia esimerkiksi siihen, miten subjektiivista kokemusta, tilaa ja paikkaa, identiteettejä, vierauden kohtaamista ja kulttuurista vuorovaikutusta voidaan esittää kirjallisuuden keinoin. Matkakirjallisuutta tutkittiin aiemmin paljolti historiallisena, maantieteellisenä ja antropologisena aineistona, mutta tutkimusalan vakiinnuttua huomiota on alettu kiinnittää myös matkakirjallisuuden poetiikkaan, muotoihin ja teemoihin. Tällä hetkellä aiheen kansainvälinen tutkimus on vilkasta, monipuolista ja tieteidenvälistä. Alan vakiintuneisuudesta kertovat muun muassa säännöllisesti ilmestyvät tieteelliset lehdet ja julkaisusarjat sekä yliopistollinen opetus ja kansainväliset konferenssit.

Avaimen teemanumerossa esitellään tuoretta suomalaista matkakirjallisuuden tutkimusta. Numeron artikkelit ja katsaukset kattavat laajan valikoiman kielialueita ja historiallisia aikakausia. Huomio kiinnittyy muun muassa kuvallisuuteen, monikielisyyteen, tilan kysymyksiin, tosiperäisen esityksen ja fiktion suhteeseen sekä matkakirjallisuuden historiaan. Esiin nousevat myös kysymykset matkakirjallisten lajien määrittelystä. Missä määrin lajia määrittävät tietyt tekstin piirteet tai lukijan odotukset ja missä määrin taas yhteys matkan kokemukseen?

Jos haluat tarjota artikkelia tai muuta kirjoitusta (essee, katsaus, kirja-arvio, konferenssiraportti tms.), ota yhteyttä teemanumeron päätoimittajiin.

Ley y violencia a través de una revisión crítica del derecho natural
Authors: Iribarne Gabriel
Published: April 2019

La propuesta de este artículo es problematizar el ius-naturalismo y el contractualismo a partir de cuatro categorías: Dicotomía racionalidad-irracionalidad, Estado de naturaleza-estado de sociedad, Libertad, Paz. Estas cuestiones aluden a un estrato que atraviesa toda la conflictividad presente en dichas teorías: el problema del origen planteado por Foucault en Nietzsche, la genealogía y la historia. A partir de ello se propone retomar la problematización que la violencia introduce en la conformación o establecimiento del derecho, en tanto que legitima un Estado. Sobre este último punto, se considera fundamental la concepción que el filósofo italiano Roberto Esposito tiene acerca del derecho y la violencia. Esta interpretación, según afirma el mismo pensador, es elaborada a partir de un punto de vista histórico desde el cual puede apreciarse el circuito pendular entre poder y fuerza.

 
Algunas cuestiones sobre la política internacional desde la democracia por venir de Jacques Derrida
Authors: Lugo Héctor Ariel
Published: April 2019

Derrida postula su concepción de “lo político” como “une démocratie à venir”, ésta es un comprometerse con la promesa de una democracia que “puede llegar a advenir”, y no que habrá una futura democracia. Derrida sostiene que esa apertura al futuro no es una utopía, pues ocurre aquí y ahora. La deconstrucción posibilita que se tome en consideración que no se puede alcanzar un consenso absoluto, es decir, que toda decisión trae implícita una exclusión; por ello la deconstrucción exige poner en práctica constantemente la pluralidad y la democracia.

Elegir es excluir y por lo tanto, jamás se logrará una decisión óptima en el terreno político, ello lleva continuamente a que la democracia exija, que siempre esté por venir y nunca se dé de una manera satisfactoria. Todo consenso se establecería como un momento de estabilidad, de lo que es por esencia inestable.

Esa es la “hiperpolitización” de la deconstrucción, no se puede llegar a resolver la indecidibilidad de todas y cada una de las decisiones que se adoptan. La democracia que siempre está por venir, exige que se la replanteé a cada instante, es decir que cuando se realiza, a la vez se autodestruye, exigiendo su replanteo una y otra vez, sin poder eliminar la indecidibilidad y sin dejar de democratizar. El trabajo busca rastrear los aportes a la cuestión de la política internacional de la propuesta de lo político promulgada por Derrida.

 
Hacia la construcción social de lo múltiple desde Gilles Deleuze
Authors: Mora María Eugenia
Published: April 2019

Esta monografía fue realizada en el marco de la materia Seminario I de la carrera de Filosofía en la Universidad Nacional del Nordeste. Se trata de un análisis de la obra de Gilles Deleuze Nietzsche y la Filosofía. Dicho análisis se encuentra orientado al despliegue de los conceptos en primer lugar necesarios para la elaboración de una posición con respecto a la relación de los individuos frente las exigencias y determinaciones de los modelos sociales. Y también que permitan la búsqueda de posibilidades de construcción de lo múltiple desde lo social. Todo esto sosteniendo que construir socialmente lo múltiple implica un alejamiento de cualquier equilibrio y requiere mecanismos que violenten los cuerpos que componen el cuerpo social.

 
Concepciones filosóficas del poder. Una indagación sobre la última dictadura militar argentina (1976- 1983)
Authors: Guglielmi Flavio Iván
Published: April 2019

El propósito del presente trabajo es comparar el concepto de biopoder y soberanía de Foucault con dispositivos de la última dictadura militar argentina. La soberanía y el biopoder, entendidos como ejercicios de poder dirigido a hacer morir o dejar vivir y hacer vivir o dejar morir respectivamente, son instancias opuestas pero complementarias en la obra de Foucault. Por otro lado, el último golpe de estado argentino es generalmente interpretado como la toma del poder por parte de civiles y militares, induciendo en ello la usurpación de las instituciones gubernamentales, y el ejercicio despótico de la muerte sobre la población de manera soberana.

Sin embargo, el tratamiento de los detenidos políticos, con respecto a la economía de castigo implicada en el secuestro, detención, tortura, asesinato o desaparición, no se desarrolla de manera discrecional. La muerte y tortura se ejercen de un modo particular, siendo disimulada en la figura del desaparecido y desplegada de manera oculta en los centros clandestinos de detención. Esto marca una limitación en el ejercicio del poder, cierta cautela en el tratamiento de la vida que desarrolla en paralelo con las otras prácticas mencionadas y que requiere estrategias que permitan disimular las acciones.
La filosofía presocrática como secularización de lo Sagrado
Authors: González Cesar Ignacio
Published: April 2019

Con motivo de lograr una perspectiva crítica acerca de la conformación disciplinar de la filosofía en el periodo presocrático, nos remitimos a textos de dicha época para indagar las relaciones presentes con el pensamiento religioso. La presencia de elementos discursivos sobre lo sagrado en el pensamiento presocrático ha encontrado tratamiento por diversos y reconocidos autores desde la perspectiva teológica, caso emblemático de Werner Jaeger. Nos proponemos aquí, por el contrario, agudizar la mirada sobre dicho fenómeno a partir del método genealógico elaborado desde Friedrich Nietzsche. Serán fundamentales además, las categorías conceptuales que el antropólogo René Girard nos pueda ofrecer en relación a la noción de lo Sagrado.

 
Isostasy, LAB and some properties of asthenosphere in chosen regions of Poland
Authors: Czechowski Leszek
Published: April 2019

We use programs from the package LABWA2015 to determine position of Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary (LAB) and some properties of lower lithosphere in chosen sites in Poland. Seismic, topographic, thermal and petrological data are used together with assumption about isostasy. Moreover we investigate the role of assumption about the steady state temperature distribution. We have found that sometimes this assumption for continental lithosphere can be unjustified but usually does not lead to significant errors. We have found also that in chosen sites, the thermal LAB is in the depth range 85-95 km. The average value of thermal conductivity of mantle is ~4 W m-1 K-1. Just below MOHO, a level of approximate isostatic compensation is found. More precise compensation is found in the asthenosphere at ~110 km but its position is sensitive to the density distribution.

What Does Trauma Have to Do with Politics? Cultural Trauma and the Displaced Founding Political Elites of Israel and Turkey
Authors: Dromi Shai M. , Türkmen Gülay
Published: April 2019

Recent political events, such as Brexit and Trump’s election, have inspired talk of collective trauma in academic publications and news outlets. Yet, scholars have been unclear about the processes that transform mundane political events into collective traumatic experiences. In this article, we ask how political factions come to interpret election outcomes as a trauma. We draw on cultural trauma theory to examine the ways state-founding political elites interpret their election losses. We show that such elites commemorate the loss by employing narratives that depict them as victims of unjust political processes, and simultaneously provide them with a sense of moral superiority. This enduring self-conception hinders subsequent efforts to draw new supporters or to change political strategies. We demonstrate this process using two empirical cases: the Israeli Labor Party and the Turkish Republican People’s Party, both of whom dominated their respective nations for decades until they were ousted through democratic elections. We suggest that cultural trauma theory can illuminate the reasons for some of the political deadlocks that shape newly founded democracies’ policies.
Gender Equality and Women’s Participation in Transport Cycling
Authors: Prati Gabriele
Published: April 2019

Population-level health benefits are associated with cycling as a means for day-to-day travel. Several factors inhibit women’s participation in transport cycling. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between gender equality (using the composite indicator of Gender Equality Index and its six core domains plus violence) and women’s participation in transport cycling across the 28 member states of the European Union. The gross domestic product was included as a controlling variable. Results showed that the composite indicator of Gender Equality Index was positively associated with women’s participation in transport cycling. The core domains of money and health were not related to women’s participation in transport cycling. Women’s participation in transport cycling was associated with the following domains: work, knowledge, time, power, and violence. The effect of gender equality varied across different indicators, with the strongest effect size found for time. The traditional sexual division of labour (gender gaps in caring and educating children or grandchildren, as well as in cooking and housework) may inhibit women’s participation in transport cycling.
Cyclist as a Minority Group?
Authors: Prati Gabriele , Puchades Víctor Marín , Pietrantoni Luca
Published: April 2019

In the social science, several definitions of minority group can be found. The definitions include different aspects such as power/status, number, distinctiveness, social category, group context, dispositions, and discrimination. Compared to motorized road users, cyclists are considered vulnerable road users because they lack physical protection. We argue that such definition does not capture the social and cultural aspects that characterize the membership within the group of cyclists. We examined whether cyclists may share some features of the experience of minority groups. Although cyclists differ from other minorities in important respects, they manifest many of the characteristics by which minority groups are defined.
With Bayesian Estimation One Can Get All That Bayes Factors Offer, and More
Authors: Kiers Henk , Tendeiro Jorge
Published: April 2019

In classical statistics, there is a close link between Null Hypothesis Significance Testing (NHST) and parameter estimation via confidence intervals. However, for the Bayesian counterpart, a link between Null Hypothesis Bayesian Testing (NHBT) and Bayesian estimation via a posterior distribution is less straightforward, but does exist, and has recently been reiterated by Rouder, Haaf, and Vandekerckhove (2018). It hinges on a combination of a point mass probability and a probability density function as prior (denoted as the spike-and-slab prior). In the present paper it is first carefully explained how the spike-and-slab prior is defined, and how results can be derived for which proofs were not given in Rouder et al. (2018). Next, it is shown that this spike-and-slab prior can be approximated by a pure probability density function with a rectangular peak around the center towering highly above the remainder of the density function. Finally, we will indicate how this ‘hill-and-chimney’ prior may in turn be approximated by fully continuous priors. In this way it is shown that NHBT results can be approximated well by results from estimation using a strongly peaked prior, and it is noted that the estimation itself offers more than merely the posterior odds ratio on which NHBT is based. Thus, it complies with the strong APA requirement of not just mentioning testing results but also offering effect size information. It also offers a transparent perspective on the NHBT approach employing a prior with a strong peak around the chosen point null hypothesis value.
Concept Mover’s Distance: Measuring Concept Engagement in Texts via Word Embeddings
Authors: Stoltz Dustin S. , Taylor Marshall A.
Published: April 2019

We propose a method for measuring a text's engagement with a focal concept using distributional representations of the meaning of words. More specically, this measure relies on Word Mover's Distance, which uses word embeddings to determine similarities between two documents. In our approach, which we call Concept Mover's Distance, a document is measured by the minimum distance the words in the document need to travel to arrive at the position of a "pseudo document" consisting of only words denoting a focal concept. This approach captures the prototypical structure of concepts, is fairly robust to pruning sparse terms as well as variation in text lengths within a corpus, and when used with pre-trained embeddings, can be used even when terms denoting concepts are absent from corpora and can be applied to bag-of-words datasets. We close by outlining some limitations of the proposed method as well as opportunities for future research.
Crafting Mosaics: Person-Centered Religious Influence and Selection in Adolescent Friendships
Authors: adams jimi , Schaefer David R. , Ettekal Andrea Vest
Published: April 2019

This research addresses the intersection of two key domains of adolescents' lives: religion and peer networks. Religion scholars have argued that religion is multi-faceted and hence better understood by focusing on combinations of indicators (i.e. mosaics), versus a more traditional variable-centered approach. We adopt this framework and investigate the interplay between religion and peer networks, both in how religious mosaics are shaped by friends and how profiles affect friend selection dynamics. With data from two schools in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we estimate these religious mosaics using latent class analysis (LCA) to identify profiles consisting of combinations of commonly available survey-based measures of religious attitudes, behaviors and identities. Finding evidence of theoretically-expected profiles, our second step is to use stochastic actor based models (SABMs) to investigate network dynamics for these LCA-based religious profiles. We demonstrate how the distinct structure of profile data can be integrated within the SABM framework to evaluate processes of friend selection and influence. Results show evidence of adolescents influencing one another’s religious mosaics, but not selecting friends on that basis.
A Tricky Business: On the role of mimesis, tricksters, and context in our practice
Authors: Hackshaw Tom
Published: April 2019

This thesis seeks to give voice to the process of thinking and making that informed the body of work to be presented at the end of this year. From the outset, it must be stated that the work presented is the result of an ongoing collaboration between myself and a fellow student at the Elam School of Fine Arts. The works, which form the material aspect of this, are thus synthetic remainders or traces. My approach to this essay is to begin highlighting several works made last year, in relation to key texts from this year, and how their respective ideas have continued to shape both my Honours project and work in 2017. While there are a number of different ideas and processes at play, I have chosen to speak from the position of a trickster.
When the Kids Live at Home: Coresidence, Parental Assets, and Economic Insecurity
Authors: Maroto Michelle Lee
Published: April 2019

This study uses National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 cohort data from 1994 through 2012 (N = 16,108 person-years, 4,671 individuals) to investigate how coresidence with adult children influences asset levels among parents. It applies hybrid mixed effects regression models that partition between- and within-person variation to estimate parental savings and financial assets over time and across different households. The results suggest that coresidence with adult children led to decreases in parental assets and savings. In the years in which their children lived at home, parents held 24% less in financial assets and 23% less in savings compared to years when adult children were not present. By expanding previous research that shows a relationship between increasing economic insecurity, limited wealth, and the rise in coresidence among young adults, this study also offers broader implications for the interconnectivity of financial hardship across generations.
Promotion of Perinatal Mental Health
Authors: Adhikari Bhabani
Published: April 2019

The aim of this paper is to discuss different aspects of perinatal mental health like; risk factor, impact, issues and to suggest the guidelines for promotion of perinatal mental health. Perinatal mental health is an emerging concept, generally refers to the period 22 completed weeks (i.e. 154 days) of gestation and ending seven completed days after birth. During the pregnancy women may suffer from different mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. Lack of nutritious food, proper healthy housing, and adequate time for rest, quality health services and positive support by the intimacy partner are major responsible factors for getting mental disorder during perinatal period. Problem with in-laws and domestic violence are also responsible for this. Individual, family, community and national agencies should aware the problem and difficulties of the perinatal period and ways to eliminating the associated problems by their action and efforts. Without waiting the sign and symptoms of depression all well pregnant women need to be screened as part of their perinatal health check.
Flood Disaster and Its Impact on Livelihood: A Case of Kandra River Basin of Kailali District
Authors: Pangali Sharma Bishnu Prasad
Published: April 2019

This paper tried to highlights impact of flood disaster on local livelihood in Kandra river basin, Kailali District. The study also examined coping strategies of the members of flood affected village community. In so doing, required data and information were collected and generated through household survey, semi-structured interviews as well as focus group discussions, key informant interview and observations. There are almost 50 settlements in the river basin; whereas 15 settlements are along with Kandra River. Three settlements: Kanhaiyapur, Thengarpuruwa and Lalbojhi; are most frequently affected from flood disaster that were selected for the study purpose. Thirty households from each settlement have been selected for household questionnaire. Satellite images and aerial photos are used to analyze terrain, channel course. The study finds that all communities living in the low-lying area and along the riverbank are affected from flood disaster. However, not all people are vulnerable equally. To cope with this problem, local people have designed and practicing various adaptation techniques. The adaptation strategy differs based on their socio-economic condition, such as education, income, occupations and living conditions. Establishment of early warning system and capacity building of flood victims will help to cope with disasters.
Value Added Tax in Nepalese Context
Authors: Dangal Dilnath
Published: April 2019

A value added tax (VAT) is a tax not on the total value of the commodity being sold, but on the value added by the last trader. Developing countries are engaging in the study of VAT more seriously as it is the source of tax revenue which has high tax potential yield among the existing tax systems. In this situation, this paper intended to assess practices of VAT and VAT administration as well as its contribution on GDP in Nepalese context. More so, the study collected secondary data which are analyzed based on descriptive/comparative methods. The study found that, sales tax has been replaced by VAT since 1997 in Nepal. Before that sales tax played a vital role to collect revenue and resources mobilization. Department of VAT and its field offices were/are responsible for administering VAT functions that was/is not yet attractive and efficient. However, data shows that collecting VAT is in increasing order. In Fiscal Year 2014/15 it came to NRs. 11516 crore which was 5.42 percent of GDP, 29.60 percent of total revenue and 48.14 percent of indirect tax revenue. And the contribution of VAT as percent of GDP remained at average of 4.04 percent during the study period (2002/2003 to 2014/2015).
Factors Affecting Project Based Learning Intention of Engineering Students
Authors: Chapagain Madan Raj
Published: April 2019

The factors affecting the project-based learning intention (PjBLI) of engineering students have been studied using theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Descriptive study was carried out utilizing quantitative technique. Primary data were collected through cross sectional survey, utilizing seven point Likert  scaled  questionnaire. The respondents were final year students of Nepal Engineering College. Statistical tool (SPSS) was used for analysis. The result shows that the levels of both the PjBLI and the attitude of students (ATTI) towards project-based learning (PjBL) are high followed by the level of perceived behavioural control (BC). However, the level of subjective norm (SN) is relatively lower. There are no significant differences in PjBLI, ATTI, SN and BC among students from different departments. However the BC (perception of self efficacy or capability) of female students is higher than that of male students. Regression analysis shows that 42.2 and 19.3 percentages of PjBLI are affected by SN and ATTI respectively. The study concludes that additional effort is essential to improve SN (support from project supervisor; department and colleague) which in turn helps to improve PjBLI of students and their performance.
Economical Design of Sewer Line in Flat Terrain: A Case Study of Rajapur Sewerage System
Authors: Ojha Bibhuti
Published: April 2019

Design of sewer line in flat terrain is a great challenge due to high excavation depth involved in laying a sewer line required for maintaining minimum velocity, slope and clear cover. Sewer design presented in this paper is result of sewer modelling software Bentley SewerCAD V8i. Estimation and cost analysis of a sewer system shows cost is directly related to the excavation depth. For economically efficient design of sewer line in a flat terrain of Rajapur-Bardia, sewer is designed in the gentle slope and flushing tanks are provided at sections where velocities are less than the minimum value recommended by Codes. Design and cost estimation of sewer network of 4.554 km with and without use of flushing tank are presented in this paper and two major benefits - cost and low invert level of outfall from ground surface elevation are achieved with flushing tank provision.

Published: April 2019

With an increasing trend of publishing news online on website, automatic text processing becomes more and more important. Automatic text classification has been a focus of many researchers in different languages for decades. There is a huge amount of research repository on features of English language and their uses on automated text processing. This research implements Nepali language key features for automatic text classification of Nepali news. In particular, the study on impact of Nepali language based features, which are extremely different than English language is more challenging because of the higher level of complexity to be resolved. The research experiment using vector space model, n-gram model and key feature based processing specific to Nepali language shows promising result compared to bag-of-words model for the task of automated Nepali news classification.

The development of information technology has led to the formation of the digital society, in which political, economic, social and other important for society processes are carried out. At the same time, the development of information technology has caused a number of ethical problems and conflicts associated with creation, dissemination and receipt of information that claims to be reliable, but not reliable. The phenomenon of post-truth holds a special place among these ethical problems and conflicts. Firstly, because everyone can face the post-truth. Secondly, because the negative consequences of post-truth can be dangerous both for an individual and for the whole society. The article distinguishes between concepts of post-truth, post-truth politics, lies and delusions. The main characteristics of post-truth, such as the illusion of reliability, based on uncritical perception of information, and the difficulty of verifying post-truth in the conditions of information overload, are discussed in this article. Some specific factors of the post-truth formation are identified and described: 1) institutional factors, which include legal and ethical-professional regulation of activities in the digital society; 2) technological factors, by which are meant those that have become possible with the development of media technologies on the Internet. The spread of post-truth has caused information disorientation, an atmosphere of distrust, ethical and other conflicts in the digital public sphere. This complicates the reflection of social reality and public discourse, which includes, among other things, the development of joint moral guidelines and the adoption of optimal decisions on socially significant issues. Ethical problems associated with the spread of post-truth are regarded as signs of a kind of crisis in the digital public sphere.

In Kediri City there is a very popular woven fabric shop called Medali Mas. It has high sales transaction activity resulting in a large stack of data purchases. This data stack is examined as an information pattern for consumer purchases using data mining association rule techniques and FP-Growth algorithms. The FP-Growth algorithm uses the concept of development tree in searching for frequent item sets. The data used are, 26 types of woven fabric items and 200 transaction data provided that 2 or 3 types of items in 1 transaction. Determined  minimum support value of 20 percent and  minimum confidence value of 10 percent. It also used Chi-Square testing to find out how much correlation between variables from the results of frequent itemsets that have been calculated. The final result of the consumer purchasing pattern is obtained (m to no) when buying Semi sutra Lusi = grey, Pakan = Blue Flowers, then the consumer might buy Sarong Lusi = black, Pakan= green Lurik and Cotton Lusi= yellow, Pakan = Tosca Bamboo with the results of the correlation between variables at 19.1397274913.

Bank erosion manifests in two main modes, namely fluvial erosion and mass failure. Fluvial erosion is a quasi-continuous entrainment of individual soil grains or grain flocs or chunks from the bank face due to the hydrodynamic shear flow action. Despite its importance as a trigger to mass failure, so far, fluvial erosion is very difficult to measure and there is no reliably technique to do so as it occurs under water with retreat lengths in millimeter or centimeter scale. The overarching goal of this study was to develop a methodology for quantifying in-situ mass (chunk) fluvial erosion using a novel approach that could adequately capture retreat length and timing information in response to changes in water stage. Four Photo Electronic Erosion Pin (PEEP) sensors, which their operational principle is based on sunlight exposure and intensity, were employed on a stream bank face to provide localized quasi-continuous recordings of mass fluvial erosion. Total bank retreats associated with 6 flood events were 18.7, 18.5, 22.6, and 6.7 cm at the crest, upper midbank, lower midbank, and toe of the bank, respectively.
Effect of lipopolysaccharide on the adherence of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) on a natural substrate

Polymers are often contaminated with lipopolysaccharides also known as endotoxins. Even small amounts of endotoxins can have strong effects on endothelial cell function so that the endothelialisation of cardiovascular implants might be hampered. An open question is how endothelial cells seeded on a body foreign substrate respond to shear load after adding Lipid A (LPA), the domain, which is responsible for much of the toxicity of gram-negative bacteria, and whether morphological changes of endothelial cells occur.

LPA supplementation to the culture medium in increasing concentrations (5, 25 and 50 μg/ml) resulted in progressive reductions of the density of adherent HUVEC after shear load ( p < 0.001). 48% of the HUVEC in control cultures (0 μg/ml LPA) were still adherent after 2 hours of shearing at 6 dyne/cm2, while 80 minutes after addition of 50 μg/ml LPA, 88% of the HUVEC had already detached from the substrate and after 100 minutes no more HUVEC were attached.

The results demonstrate that endotoxins are of extreme importance for the behavior of HUVEC and that in vivo pathologies can be increasingly simulated in vitro.
VEGF-C Induces Alternative Activation of Microglia to Promote Recovery from Traumatic Brain Injury

Published: April 2019

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), a brain disorder that causes death and long-term disability in humans, is increasing in prevalence, though there is a lack of protective or therapeutic strategies for mitigating the damage after TBI and for preserving neurological functionality. Microglia cells play a key role in neuroinflammation following TBI, but their regulation and polarization by a member of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family, VEGF-C, is unknown. Here, we show that VEGF-C induced M2 polarization in a murine microglia cell line, BV-2, in vitro, by a mechanism that required signaling from its unique receptor, VEGF receptor 3 (VEGFR3). Moreover, in a TBI model in rats, VEGF-C administration induced M2 polarization of microglia cells, significantly improved motor deficits after experimental TBI, and significantly improved neurological function following TBI, likely through a reduction in cell apoptosis. Together, our data reveal a previously unknown role of VEGF-C/VEGFR3 signaling in the regulation of post-TBI microglia cell polarization, which appears to be crucial for recovery from TBI.

Summary. Aim: To investigate the content of essential elements (EE): copper, zinc, magnesium, iron and calcium and the evaluation of the activity of metal-containing enzymes — ceruloplasmin (CP), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and the content of transferrin (TF) in blood plasma (BP) and tumor tissue (TT) of animals with Walker-256 carcinosarcoma treated with lactoferrin (LF). Materials and Methods: The study of the EE content and the activity of the abovementioned enzymes was carried out on rats with Walker-256 carcinosarcoma treated with LF at the doses of 1 and 10 mg/kg of body weight. The quantitative content of EE in BP and TT of animals was determined using the inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). Determination of CP activity, content of TF and hemochromes was performed using the method of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and MPO — by unified biochemical method. Results: The introduction of LF at the doses of 1 and 10 mg/kg resulted in a decrease in the ratio of Cu/Zn in BP and even more expressed decrease of Ca/Mg ratio in TT. Administration of LF, especially at a dose of 10 mg/kg, affected the increase in CP and MPO activity in BP. It has been shown that administration of LF at a dose of 10 mg/kg led to an increase in oxidative products of destruction of the hemoglobin-hemochrom system in the TT, against the background of lowering the TF content. Conclusions: The administration of LF, especially at a dose of 10 mg/kg, led to metabolic alterations associated with inhibition of the tumor process. The detected modulating effect of LF on the content of the EE and the activity of the CP and MPO may be a basis for correction of the elemental balance in carcinogenesis.
