Authors: Tekin Perihan Şenel
Published: February 2020

Oral and dental health services in Turkey is open to international competition and a rapidly growing sector within the scope of health tourism. It is very important to maintain patient satisfaction and patient loyalty in service delivery. It is known that patient and patient relatives care about attitudes and behaviors of health workers and this experience is effective in the choose of physicians or health institutions. The aim of this study is to determine the intercultural sensitivity and communication competencies of employees in a private oral and dental health clinic in Denizli which is one of the most important tourism centers of Turkey. In this study, the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale, in which individuals evaluated themselves, was used to measure intercultural sensitivity. This scale, which was developed by Chen and Starosta (2000) and included five emotional dimensions required to be sensitive to interculturalism, was translated into Turkish by Kurban et al. (2011) and evaluated the psychometric suitability. Communication Competence Scale, which was developed by Wiemann (1977) and translated into Turkish, validity and reliability of the communication competence by Koca and Erigüç (2017) was used. Data were collected online via Google docs during January and February 2019. According to the findings of the study, it was observed that the intercultural sensitivity and communication competencies of the health workers were high and the highest score was the enjoyment of communication dimention (4.10±0.74) in the scale of intercultural sensitivity and the compliance adequacy dimention (4.13±0.97) in the communication competence scale.

Published: February 2020

The water flow in saturated zones of the soil is described by two-dimensional Boussinesq equation. This paper is devoted to investigating the linearised stochastic Boussinesq problem in the presence of randomness in hydraulic conductivity, drainable porosity, recharge, evapotranspiration, initial condition and boundary condition. We use the Sabolev spaces and Galerkin method. Under some suitable assumptions, we prove the existence and uniqueness results, as well as, the continuous dependence on the data for the solution of linearised stochastic Boussinesq problem. Keywords: linearised stochastic Boussinesq equation, Galerkin method, existence and uniqueness results, and continuous dependence on the data.
The Role of Metamorphosis in Anglo- Saxon Ballads, Albanian Ballads and Frontier Warrior Songs
Authors: Kraja Danela Bala
Published: February 2020

This article aims to point out the role of metamorphosis in Anglo- Saxon ballads, Albanian ballads and frontier warrior songs. The Anglo- Saxon ballads and Albanian frontier warrior songs and ballads came into existence a long time ago and they had a certain number of influences which as a result had their great impact on their creation, development and circumstances when and where they were composed. They were created as a consequence of some special historical, cultural and social development. It has to be emphasized that those influences were of different character and size such as human, non-human or divine ones and the compositions of songs or ballads were inspired and conditioned by a lot of circumstances. Metamorphosis is used to express that never- ending process and of course it is transforming. The changes are either positive or negative and consequently people may perceive different good or bad feelings. It is related to the magic world and the unrealistic one and sometimes it is a beautiful feeling when a human being transforms into a rose and showing a form of life continuation after death but in many cases it transforms into a non-desirable object or animal. It is a quick transformation from one thing to another and it may have either positive or negative effects on the audience.
Comparative Study Between the Omani and British Legal Systems in Terms of Judicial Independence and Separation of Powers
Authors: Al Junaibi Rashid H.S.
Published: February 2020

The legal system of Oman is a junction of the locally inherent religious legal norms and foreign influence of the French and British legal systems. The legal documents of the country, such as Constitution Articles 60 and 61, may claim that the judiciary is independent, yet the Omani experience within the executive branch, and its role in legislation, demonstrate that the Middle-Eastern state stands in contrast to the United Kingdom (UK), where the separation of powers (SOP) has been in effect since at least 1701. As is indicative of the common historical theme, considering the powers of the sultan, Oman may be said to be in need of popular participation through the parliamentary branches, for the creation of a regional prosecutorial body, and the enforcement of international judicial independence and conduct resolutions. Oman showed a positive response during the peaceful protests in 2011. Still, Oman may require national conferences to discuss such cases with popular participation.
Friend or Foe? Representations of WWI in Italian Fascist Cinema
Authors: Bono Francesco
Published: February 2020

The present essay investigates the representation of the First World War in Italian fascist cinema by analyzing some of the major films about the war made during the Fascist regime and, notably, Marco Elter’s Le scarpe al sole (1935), Giovacchino Forzano’s 13 uomini e un cannone (1936) and Oreste Biancoli’s Piccolo alpino (1940). The films will be examined from an original and specific angle, devoting special attention to their portrayal of the Austrian enemy. Little consideration has been paid so far in scholarly research to this aspect. The essay will specifically address the question, investigating the changing representation of WWI and, particularly, the metamorphosis of Austria from foe to friend in Italian cinema in the course of the twenty years of Fascist regime. In doing so, the essay will place the above films against the background of the Fascist regime’s foreign policy, with special regard to the Italian-Austrian politics of friendship during the 1930s, followed at the end of the decade by Italy’s alliance with Nazi-Germany and the birth of the Rome-Berlin axis.
Why is Locke's Linguistic Theory Still Current and Interesting Today?
Authors: Prato Alessandro
Published: February 2020

In the Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690), Locke set out to offer an analysis of the human mind and its acquisition of knowledge still very current and important today. Locke offered also an empiricist theory according to which we acquire ideas through our experience of the world. The article examines Locke’s views on language and his principal innovation in the field of linguistic theory, represented by the recognition of the power of language with respect to the classification of the world, and its relative independence from reality. In particular the following topics are discussed: a) the polemical contrast with Cartesian philosophy b) the criticism that Locke levels against innatism c) the function of abstraction of the mind d) the concept of semiotics as a theory of thought and its expression e) the radical concept of arbitrariness f) the pragmatic factor intrinsic to Locke’s linguistics described as “communicational scepticism”.
Andrew Taylor: Australia’s Poet of the (Extra)Ordinary
Authors: Wolny Ryszard W.
Published: February 2020

Andrew Taylor (1940-) has been regarded as one of the most significant living Australian poets largely due to the fact of his unusual use of the poetic language and the selection of topics. He undoubtedly belongs to the group of the poets, like John Kinsella, who create mastery in their so-called ‘niche’ market, quietly continuing to produce compositions of remarkable quality, and receiving national and international recognition for their achievements. Andrew Taylor’s Impossible Preludes (Poems 2008-2014) is a unique and beautiful retrospective on life, love and everything in between, with its full array of extraordinariness embedded in the ordinariness of everyday life. Each line is a story within itself, painting a picture for the reader to follow as vividly as one might expect in an art gallery. Every poem is full of colour and weight as it takes you on a journey into the mind of this creative and talented individual. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to disclose these elements in Andrew Taylor’s poetry that make it so extraordinary in its ordinariness and find out possible sources of this idiosyncrasy.
The Salesperson with a Speech Impediment: An Objective Research and Analysis on the Importance of Clarity, Structure and Logic of Arguments
Authors: Chekuri Martin D
Published: February 2020

There is no sales document as crucial to winning business deals as the business proposal document. We noticed that business proposals try their best to be persuasive, and yet, they do not have the impact they hope to create. In order to understand why we conducted detailed research and found out that customers simply refuse to read some proposals. There are three reasons for this: Logic, Clarity, and Aesthetics. Our research showed that the lack of logic or the presence of logical fallacies account was the reason most often quoted by customers (63% of the times) for not wanting to read the business proposal, followed by clarity, at 29% and aesthetics at 9%. To write this research paper, we’ve focused primarily on understanding logical fallacies, categorizing them and identifying which of them are the most identifiable and which of them are most frequent. We also recommend a systematic way to avoid logical fallacies in proposals.
Consumer Perception: Animosity, Ethnocentrism and Willingness to Buy Chinese Products
Authors: Kiriri Peter N.
Published: February 2020

Global developments have seen the rapid growth of international marketing due to trade liberalization and a reduction in barriers to global trade. This has resulted in opening up of new markets and availability of foreign products in domestic markets. China has taken a leading role in global trade due to its low levels of production costs and technological advancements. Chinese electronic products can now be found most parts of the world. This study attempted at determining the attitudes of consumers towards made in China products. It was guided by the concepts of consumer ethnocentrism and consumer animosity and how these influenced the willingness to buy Chinese electronic products. A sample size of 385 was chosen with 319 participating. Data was collected through a questionnaire adopted and modified from a study by Quang, DinhChien and Long (2017) in Vietnam. Factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM) techniques were used in the analysis. From the findings, it was evident that amongst the Kenyans, consumer ethnocentrism influences the level of consumer animosity. In instances where consumer animosity existed, it did not have an impact on product judgments. Though the respondents had expressed some level of animosity towards China, the same did not have a negative impact on product judgments. In terms of consumer ethnocentrism, the respondents indicated that it had a negative impact on product judgments, an indication that a high level of ethnocentrism will lead to unfavourable attitudes towards a product from a foreign country.

Tuning the Properties of High Molecular Weight Chitosans to Develop Full Water Solubility Within a Wide pH Range
Authors: Fiamingo Anderson , Filho Sergio Paulo Campana , Oliveira Junior Osvaldo Novais
Published: February 2020

The preparation of chitosans soluble in physiological conditions has been sought for years, but so far solubility in non-acidic aqueous media has only been achieved at the expense of lowering chitosan molecular weight. In this work, we applied the multistep ultrasound-assisted deacetylation process (USAD process) to β-chitin and obtained extensively deacetylated chitosans with high molecular weights (Mw ≥ 1,000,000 g mol-1). The homogeneous N-acetylation of a chitosan sample resulting from three consecutive USAD procedures allowed us to produce chitosans with a high weight average degree of polymerization (DPw ≈ 6,000) and tunable degrees of acetylation (DA from 5 to 80%). N-acetylation was carried out under mild conditions to minimize depolymerization, while preserving a predominantly random distribution of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyanose (GlcN) and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyanose (GlcNAc) units. This close to random distribution, inferred with deconvolution of nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra, is considered as responsible for the solubility within a wide pH range. Two of the highly N-acetylated chitosans (DA ≈ 60 % and ≈ 70 %) exhibited full water solubility even at neutral pH, which can expand the biomedical applications of chitosans.
Basic Zinc Cubane-1,4-Dicarboxylate: A New MOF-5 Analogous with High Porosity and Robust Dynamics
Authors: Földes Dávid , Kováts Éva , Bortel Gábor , Klébert Szilvia , Jakab Emma , Pekker Sándor
Published: February 2020

A new metal-organic framework, basic zinc cubane-1,4-dicarboxylate, (1) was synthesized. 1 is a cubic framework of the same underlying topology, as basic zinc terephthalate, MOF-5, with similar lattice parameters, unique dynamics and competitive adsorption properties. It has a highsymmetry space group, Pm3,¯m with a lattice parameter of 12.776 Å, as determined by X-ray diffraction at 100 K. The structure consists of a random distribution of two perpendicular basic zinc carboxylate nodes and axially disordered cubylene spacers, so the observed high-symmetry structure is an average of several lower-symmetry unit cells. The binary orientational disorder of the nodes has significant influence on the uniaxial rotation of the edges, realizing a previous idea of robust dynamics1. The structural and dynamical ifferences of 1 and MOF-5 are based on the local symmetry and the electronic structure of the organic components: i) the lack of conjugation in cubane-1,4-dicarboxylate does not fix the orientation of the nodes; and ii) the incomplete match of the cubylene (rotor) and dicarboxylate (stator) units facilitates the rotation of the cubylene units even at 100 K. The calculated rotation barrier is unusually low, and it depends on the orientation of the adjacent carboxylate units. The crystals of 1 can be activated either at elevated temperature in vacuum or at ambient conditions by solvent exchange. The high surface area (3160 m2g-1) and the high capacity of hydrogen uptake promise future practical applications.

SÍNTESIS Y CARACTERIZACIÓN DE COMPOSITOS A BASE DE HALLOYSITA CON NANOESTRUCTURAS DE BISMUTO
Authors: Vega-Verduga Carolina , Daza-Gómez Caterine
Published: February 2020

En el desarrollo de este trabajo de investigación se han sintetizado y caracterizado nanocompositos en base de halloysita con nanopartículas de sulfuro de bismuto. La halloysita, es un filosilicato que se encuentra en forma de nanotubos de multicapas y constituye una alternativa de morfología similar a los nanotubos de carbono; sin embargo, posee características químicas distintas en la superficie externa e interna. La síntesis se llevó a cabo utilizando un método de impregnación de los precursores en nanotubos de halloysita para el posterior crecimiento de las nanopartículas in situ. La caracterización incluyó espectroscopias de absorción electrónica (UV-visible) y difracción de rayos X, en polvos. La morfología de los nanocompositos preparados se evidenció utilizando microscopía de barrido electrónico (SEM) y microscopía de transmisión electrónica(TEM); además se utilizó espectroscopia de energía dispersiva (EDS) para identificar elementos particulares y su distribución en la muestra. Los resultados indican que las nanopartículas de Bi2S3 (Bi2S3 NPs), de morfología esférica, se depositaron de manera uniforme sobre los nanotubos de halloysita (HNTs). Las partículas en el nanocomposito presentaron mayor diámetro que las partículas sintetizadas sin HNTs. Este cambio se evidencia en la reducción del ancho del pico en los patrones de difracción y en la disminución de valor de energía de la brecha energética. La formación del nanocomposito contribuyó a mantener las nanopartículas dispersas de manera homogénea sobre halloysita, evitando su aglomeración. Además, se evidenció el control de tamaño y morfología cuando se utiliza los nanotubos como soporte.

Published: February 2020

Cost and duration estimation is essential for the success of construction projects. The importance of decision making in cost and duration estimation for building design processes points to a need for an estimation tool for both designers and project managers. Particle swarm optimization (PSO), as the tools of soft computing techniques, offer significant potential in this field. This study presents the proposal of an approach to the estimation of construction costs and duration of construction projects, which is based on PSO approach. The general applicability of PSO in the formulated problem with cost and duration estimation is examined. A series of 60 projects collected from constructed government projects were utilized to build the proposed models. Eight input parameters, such as volume of bricks, the volume of concrete, footing type, elevators number, total floors area, area of the ground floor, floors number, and security status are used in building the proposed model. The results displayed that the PSO models can be an alternative approach to evaluate the cost and-or duration of construction projects. The developed model provides high prediction accuracy, with a low mean (0.97 and 0.99) and CoV (10.87% and 4.94%) values. A comparison of the models’ results indicated that predicting with PSO was importantly more precise.

Evaluation of yield and quality performance of some spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes under rainfall conditions
Authors: KARAMAN Mehmet
Published: February 2020

The study was conducted in randomized complete block design with four replications at two locations (Sanliurfa and Diyarbakir) under rainfall conditions during 2013-2014 growing season. The purpose of the study is to determine the bread wheat genotypes with high yield, large adaptation ability and high grain quality. Twenty advanced bread wheat lines and five check varieties were used as material. The data were evaluated by using variance and GGE-biplot analysis methods. Significant differences among genotypes were determined for test weight (TW), thousand grain weight (TGW), grain yield (GY) and heading time (HT) at the significant level of 1%, while, less significant levels (p<5%) were found for wet gluten content (WG), zeleny sedimentation (ZS) and protein content (PR). According to GGE-biplot analysis results, positive correlations were determined between TW and TGW, and also PR, WG and ZS. It has also been determined that there is a negative relationship between HT and TW, TGW. According to the stability graph, the genotypes of G23 and G8 were found to be highly efficient and moderately stable and both could be candidate varieties. Additionally, Dinç variety and G11 advanced line can be used as genitor in bread wheat breeding programs for grain yield and quality.

Summary: "The lance of snake bird", mythical origin of Xylopia brasilienis (Annonaceae), a version of guaranis Ava Chiripa from Misiones (Argentina). A Guaraní tale on the origin of the Xylopia brasiliensis tree is documented and translated. The meaningful attributes that seem to have inspired the myth are associated with the figure of a bird that hunts snakes and also with the possible use of the stems of this tree as harpoon shafts or lances by the ancient guarani peoples.Key words: Mythography, ethnobotany, native tree, harris hawk, stole.Resumen: Se transcribe y traduce un relato guaraní sobre el origen del árbol Xylopia brasiliensis. Los atributos sugerentes involucrados en el mito están asociados a la figura de ciertas aves ofiófagas y al probable empleo de los fustes de dicho árbol como astiles de arpones o de lanzas por parte de los antiguos guaraníes.Palabras clave: Mitografía, etnobotánica, árbol nativo, gavilán mixto, estola.

Authors: Cenizo Viviana J. , Mazzola Mónica B. , Corró Molás Bárbara M. , King Alicia G.
Published: February 2020

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar el desarrollo morfológico y las características anatómicas de las plántulas de Trichocereus candicans (Gillies ex Salm-Dyck) Britton & Rose, una especie de cactus columnar ampliamente distribuida en regiones áridas y semiáridas de Argentina. Durante los primeros 30 días desde la germinación, se registran en las plántulas los mayores cambios morfológicos. La raíz presenta abundantes pelos radicales y un patrón de crecimiento definido. La epidermis es uniestrata con células de contorno ondulado, estomas de tipo paralelocítico e inclusiones minerales en forma de drusas. El xilema presenta traqueidas de banda ancha con paredes celulares anilladas y helicoidales. Se observaron plántulas con crecimiento anormal (tres cotiledones), lo que constituye el primer registro para T. candicans. Este trabajo aporta datos básicos al conocimiento de la especie que pueden ser de gran utilidad para estudios taxonómicos y ecológicos
Temporal and spatial distribution of Araucaria angustifolia (araucariaceae) pollen in Misiones, Argentina.
Authors: Latorre Fabiana , Alarcón Pamela , Fassola Hugo
Published: February 2020

Temporal and spatial distribution of Araucaria angustifolia (Araucariaceae) pollen in Misiones, Argentina. Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze is a native species of high commercial value that has indiscriminately been exploited and is currently in critical danger. This work represents the beginning of a research program in Aerobiology related to its reproductive phenology, being conducted in Misiones (Argentina). Two types of continuous volumetric samplers were used: one fixed and the other one portable, distributed in 6 sampling points located in the direction of the prevailing winds. The main pollination period in 2010 (90% of total pollen) lasted 30 days, accumulating 23,548 grains. The daily concentration showed a maximum of 10 to 14 hours following the circadian pattern of atmospheric conditions, with minimum values at 22 hours and 6 hours. An occasional small increase of pollen was observed in the evening, which could be ascribed to the local pollen entrainment. The days with higher concentrations coincided with warmer weather conditions, stronger winds and lower relative humidity with respect to the averages for the period. Lower concentrations were noticed in the endpoints bounds of population distribution, indicating limitations in transport. This study represents an advance in the proper management and conservation of the genetic resources of this species
El efecto del fuego y las características topográficas sobre la vegetación y las propiedades del suelo en la zona de transición entre bosques y pastizales de las sierras de Córdoba, Argentina
Authors: Giorgis Melisa A. , Cingolani Ana M. , Cabido Marcelo
Published: February 2020

En el contexto actual de cambio climático, el estudio de la dinámica de las zonas de transición entre bosques y pastizales tiene un papel fundamental, tanto a nivel científico como en la planificación del manejo de los ecosistemas. En este trabajo evaluamos el efecto combinado del fuego, la exposición de ladera y la posición topográfica sobre la vegetación y los suelos en una zona de transición entre bosques y pastizales en las montañas de Córdoba. Para ello elegimos cuatro áreas con diferentes edades post-fuego. En cada sector seleccionamos todas las combinaciones posibles de exposición y posición topográfica. En cada sitio realizamos un relevamiento florístico completo y analizamos una muestra compuesta de suelo. El tiempo transcurrido después del último incendio fue el principal factor determinante de las distintas características analizadas (fisonomía, composición florística, riqueza y propiedades del suelo), diferenciando sitios quemados recientemente de los no quemados. La exposición de ladera también tuvo un rol importante condicionando la fisonomía, la composición florística y las propiedades de los suelos. Sin embargo, no encontramos una relación directa entre la recuperación de la cobertura arbórea y el tiempo transcurrido después del último incendio, indicando que otros factores como las características geomorfológicas, historia de uso y herbivoría, estarían condicionando la recuperación post-fuego de estos sistemas.

La vegetación reófila del Nordeste argentino. Las comunidades vegetales con Podostemaceae de la Provincia de Misiones
Authors: Fontana José Luis
Published: February 2020

En la provincia de Misiones, comunidades vegetales con Podostemáceas viven en rápidos y saltos de los arroyos pertenecientes a dos cuencas (Ríos Paraná y Uruguay). La Comunidad de Mourera aspera se encuentra sólo en las correderas río arriba de las Cataratas del Iguazú. Sobre la roca submersa en correderas crece una Comunidad con Apinagia yguazuensis, relativamente rara, encontrada en el Río Iguazú y en los arroyos Tabay y Yazá. En paredes y al pié de saltos y en determinados rápidos, comunidades con Podostemum spp. constituyen la vegetación reófila más llamativa: la Comunidad de Podostemum comatum en Cataratas, las Comunidades de Podostemum mulleri y la de Podostemum atrichum exclusivas de arroyos de la cuenca del Paraná, las Comunidades de Podostemum rutifolium y la de P. undulatum de amplia distribución en las cuencas de los Ríos Paraná y Uruguay. Comunidades reófilas con Podostemum uruguayense son exclusivas de la cuenca del Río Uruguay. La comunidad con Marathrum azarensis si bien en Misiones sólo fue encontrada en afluentes del río Uruguay, crece también en el Río Paraná en la provincia de Corrientes. Se analizaron las condiciones del hábitat y la distribución de las comunidades según cuencas.
