Authors: Ge Rui
Published: January 2022

Over a long time, the development of China’s economy has always relied heavily on investment, export and consumption, or is export-oriented to promote economic growth; however, in the new world economic situation, the export has been curbed and the economic focus needs to be shifted. And China has gradually formed the awareness and strategy of attaching importance to stimulating domestic demand and expanding the domestic consumption market. Therefore, internal circulation will bring unlimited opportunities and challenges to SMEs. It is necessary for SMEs to pay attention to internal circulation and formulate corresponding countermeasures according to internal circulation policies to promote the stable and sustainable development of SMEs.
New Approaches for Detection of Mycoplasma iowae Infection in Turkeys
Authors: Levisohn Sharon , Jackwood Mark , Kleven Stanley
Published: January 2022

Mycoplasma iowae (Mi) is a pathogenic avian mycoplasma which causes mortality in turkey embryos and as such has clinical and economic significance for the turkey breeder industry. Control of Mi infection is severely hampered by lack of adequate diagnostic tests, together with resistance to most antibiotics and resilience to environment. A markedly high degree of intra-species antigenic variation also contributes to difficulties in detection and control of infection. In this project we have designed an innovative gene-based diagnostic test based on specific amplification of the 16S rRNA gene of Mi. This reaction, designed Multi-species PCR-RFLP test, also amplifies the DNA of the pathogenic avian mycoplasmas M. gallisepticum (Mg) and M. synoviae (Ms). This test detects DNA equivalent to about 300 cfu Mi or either of the other two target mycoplasmas, individually or in mixed infection. It is a quick test, applicable to a wide variety of clinical samples, such as allantoic fluid or tracheal or cloacal swab suspensions. Differential diagnosis is carried out by gel electro-phoresis of the PCR amplicon digested with selected restriction enzymes (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism). This can also be readily accomplished by using a simple Dot-Blot hybridization assay with digoxigenin-labeled oligonucleotide probes reacting specifically with unique Mi, Mg or Ms sequences in the PCR amplicon. The PCR/OLIGO test increased sensitivity by at least 10-fold with a capacity for rapid testing of large numbers of samples. Experimental infection trials were carried out to evaluate the diagnostic tools and to study pathogenesis of Mi infection. Field studies and experimental infection of embryonated eggs indicated both synergistic and competitive interaction of mycoplasma pathogens in mixed infection. The value of the PCR diagnostic tests for following the time course of egg transmission was shown. A workable serological test (Dot Immunobinding Assay) was also developed but there was no clear-cut evidence that infected turkeys develop an immune response. Typing of a wide spectrum of Mi field isolates by a variety of gene-based molecular techniques indicated a higher degree of genetic homogeneity than predicted on the basis of the phenotypic variability. All known strains of Mi were detected by the method developed. Together with an M. meleagridis-PCR test based on the same gene, the Multi-species PCR test is a highly valuable tool for diagnosis of pathogenic mycoplasmas in single or mixed infection. The further application of this rapid and specific test as a part of Mi and overall mycoplasma control programs will be dependent on developments in the turkey industry.
Effect of Sodium Hydroxide/Urea/Deionised Water Solution Ratio on the Solubility of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches Extracted Biocellulose
Authors: Haan Teow Yeit , AL-RAJABI MAHA MOHAMMAD
Published: January 2022

Biocellulose extracted from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) is attracting increased research interest in versatile applications as an alternative material to synthetic cellulose. Normally, biocellulose needs to undergo dissolution prior its applications. Among all explored solvents to dissolve biocellulose, aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH)/urea solution is gaining increased attention. OPEFB biocellulose solubility in NaOH/urea/deionised (DI) water solution has not been fully studied by researchers. This study aimed to investigate the solubility of OPEFB biocellulose in NaOH/urea/DI water solution by manipulating the NaOH/urea/DI water solution ratio and weight percentage of OPEFB biocellulose. Results indicated that increasing the NaOH/urea/DI water solution ratio increased the solubility of OPEFB biocellulose. Further increased NaOH/urea/DI water solution ratio resulted in decreased solubility. Meanwhile, increased OPEFB biocellulose weight percentage decreased the solubility of OPEFB biocellulose in NaOH/urea/DI water solution. The highest solubility of 70.89%±1.85% was exhibited by 7% NaOH/12% urea/81% DI water (w/w) solution and 1 w/v% OPEFB biocellulose. This study on OPEFB biocellulose solubility in NaOH/urea/DI water solution can promote cost-effective and wide utilisation of the abundantly available OPEFB for the synthesis of cellulose fibres, films, and hydrogels in the textile, packaging, and biomedical industries.

Immersed, yet distant: Notes for an aesthetic theory of immersive travel films
Authors: Bilchi Nicolas
Published: January 2022

The purpose of this article is to highlight a few stylistic and aesthetic principles, common to the genre of the travel film (both documentary and fictional), as employed by immersive media and devices from the twentieth century – such as the Hale’s Tours of the World, Todd-AO, and Cinerama – up to today’s digital systems like Virtual Reality and 4D Cinema. I will discuss how the different experiences of simulated travels, proffered by those media, are all related to a broader aesthetic tendency in creating what I label as enveloping tactile images. Such images are programmed to surround the viewer from every side, thus increasing their spectacular dimension, but at the same time they strive to temper and weaken the haptic solicitations aroused in the viewer by the immersive apparatus itself. In this sense I propose that the spectator of immersive travelogue films is ‘immersed, yet distant’: she is tangled in the illusion of traversing an enveloping visual space, but the position she occupies is nonetheless a metaphysical one, not different from that of Renaissance perspective, because even if she can see everything, the possibility to interact with the images is denied, in order to preserve the realistic illusion. By analysing the stylistic techniques employed to foster the viewer’s condition of non-interactive immersion in the enveloping world presented by the medium, I will consequently address the topic of the conflict that such immersive aesthetics establish with traditional forms of audiovisual storytelling.
Ipar Haizearen Erronka: A boat trip from the Basque Country to Newfoundland
Authors: Junguitu Dronda Maitane
Published: January 2022

The nature of animated cinema involves the creation of any realistic or fantastical characters, places, and situations. Animation can be used to take characters far from their hometowns on believable journeys without big budgets used on location shooting.
The Basque animated feature film Ipar Haizearen Erronka (The Challenge of the North Wind), directed in 1992 by Juanba Berasategi, illustrates how animation can represent a journey and a historic reality in a plausible way. The movie depicts a Basque whale hunting vessel travelling to the wild coast of Newfoundland, Canada in the sixteenth century. Typically, Basque live action movies in the 80s would recreate foreign locations with nearby settings. Ipar Haizearen Erronka avoids this problem by showing America through drawings.
In this paper, we will use the movie Ipar Haizearen Erronka to interpret how animation uses backgrounds and objects to represent a voyage across the Atlantic Ocean and determine the realistic accuracy of the social and historical moments represented in the movie. We will also see how this journey embodies the characteristics of the literary genre of Bildungsroman, as well as the narrative structures pointed out by Vladimir Propp’s folktale and Joseph Campbell's monomyth. The study also focuses on how the film depicts the most representative characteristics of the journey, and how they are used as filming narrative resources. A closer look will be taken into the main vessels, the captain's logbook, the map, the historical context of the sailing of the ship, the maritime laws where sexism is abundant, the financing of the trip, and the work on board.
Cute at an older age: A case study of Otona-Kawaii
Authors: Lieber-Milo Shiri
Published: January 2022

The word kawaii, meaning ‘cute and sweet’ in English, has been part of the Japanese culture for centuries. While the word and trend were historically associated with young women and children, there has recently been an attempt to expand the definition of kawaii outside of its traditional borders to other age and gender groups by creating uniquely synthesised words and trends. The newly coined term otona-kawaii [‘adult-cute’] refers to mature women who passed their teen years and continue to dress cute and behave innocent and adorable. In this paper, a focus will be taken upon the new concept of otona-kawaii, and how it is defined and evaluated by the Japanese people.
Results of a recent survey conducted among male and female respondents between the ages of 18 to 29, showed that many of them were in favour of the idea of behaving cute at an older age. It was also found that women were more familiar with the term otona-kawaii and had a more positive approach towards it than men. The results of the study suggest that kawaii can be extended beyond infants and may apply to other age populations, such as mature women.
The aim of this study is to bridge the gap between kawaii and maturity by providing some empirical evidence and information, bringing to a deeper understanding of the concept of kawaii, contributing to the scholarship of the kawaii culture in Japan.
From China to the World: The main media pilgrimages of Sun Wukong and Son Gokū
Authors: Ruscica Giovanni
Published: January 2022

The ‘Journey to the West’, also translated as the’ Pilgrimage to the West’, is one of the masterpieces of ancient Chinese literature. Published anonymously by the putative author Wu Cheng'en in the late 16th century, the story traces in broad outline the journey taken by the monk Tripitaka in the year 629 a.D. to India to acquire Buddhist scriptures, and it is the result of reworking antecedent works, such as ‘Poetic notes on the pilgrimage of Tripitaka of the Great Tang to acquire the Sutras’ and ‘‹Journey to the West› Opera’. In this fiction, the writer moves away from the authenticity of the traditional pilgrimage: here the monk is escorted by sinful-followers (i.e., a dragon-horse, a pig, a demon, and a monkey) capable of removing malevolent beings throughout the journey. Sun Wukong is the wild and skillful monkey that ascends to Buddhity, becoming a ‘Victorious Fighting Buddha’ at the end of the literary work. Later on, the Chinese work of fiction was used as a source of inspiration for the creation of Dragon Ball, a Japanese fantasy & martial arts manga. Published in 1984 as a manga and then adapted into an anime, Dragon Ball sketchily follows the Chinese work of fiction. After coming across Bulma, young Son Gokū decides to escort the girl in her quest to collect seven magic dragon spheres. The series’ success allowed the manga’s author, Akira Toriyama, to continue the story arc and launch a new series in 2015. Since 1986, several videogames with a monkey character have entered the market. The purpose of this article is to highlight the main affinities between Sun Wukong and his Japanese counterpart Son Gokū first, and then attempt to explain how the monkey character has become a world-famous symbol, and contextualise it into the phenomenon of ‘worldwide pilgrimage’.

Edible Part Nutritional Value And Calcium Content In Five Lai-Durian (D.zibethinus X D. Kutejensis) Fruit Rind From Loa Kulu East Kalimantan
Authors: Kurniadinata Odit Ferry , Wenpei Song , Saragih Bernatal , Rusdiansyah Rusdiansyah
Published: January 2022

The large number of Durio species that grow in Kalimantan illustrates that this area is the most important distribution center for durian relatives. Two of the best-known edible durians in East Kalimantan are Durian (Durio zibethinus) and Lai (Durio Kutejensis). Several studies have been conducted to determine the effect of calcium on the quality of fruits. However, very little information was obtained regarding the effect of Ca on the quality of lai-durian fruit. This research was carried out by collecting data and information about Fruit performance and edible part nutritional value three D. zibenthinus x D. kutejensis plants. The five potential superior plants have some similar in rind moisture factor, ash content, water content, total fat, crude protein, and total dissolved solids. However, there is a difference in flesh thickness which indicates that LK4 has the thickest flesh thickness with an average of 9mm, while LK5 shows the thinnest average flesh thickness of 4mm. Meanwhile, when viewed from total carbohydrates, LK3 fruit has the highest total carbohydrate content compared to other fruits, which is 37.477 and energy is 180.357 kcal. This study indicates that there is a negative correlation between fruit peel size and calcium content. In large Lai-durian fruits such as LK4 fruit there is a lower amount of calcium than other fruits.
Impact of Foreign Reserves and Economic Growth on Money Supply: Evidence from the WAMZ Countries
Authors: Joof Foday , Ceesay Alieu S
Published: January 2022

This paper analyzes the impact of foreign currency reserve and economic growth on money supply using panel data from five West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ) member states from 2001-2019. The study employed the dynamic technique, fully modified ordinary least squares and dynamic ordinary least squares (FMOLS and DOLS), and the static method (fixed effect model) for the robustness check. The long run results showed that foreign currency reserves (FCR) have a positive impact on money supply, implying that a one percent increase in FCR augments money supply (M2) by 2.87%, 0.44% and 0.08%, respectively, in the long run. Similarly, economic growth is associated with an increase in money supply in both models. Furthermore, the Dumitrescu & Hurlin (2012) estimation revealed a feedback association between foreign currency reserve and money supply. This means that foreign reserves and money supply are complementary. Conversely, a unidirectional causality moving from economic growth to M2 is observed, demonstrating that economic growth causes M2. This outcome is explained by the quantity theory of money (QTM) in which the velocity of money is a positive function of total money supply. As money circulates in the economy as a result of a surge in investments, this consequently increases money stock. Similarly, investment opportunities that are being exploited day-by-day explains the growing money stock (WAMI, 2018). Central banks should endeavor to monitor the expansionary influence of net foreign assets (NFA) on money supply growth in the WAMZ by establishing suitable methods to sterilize foreign exchange infusions into the economy.

The Regularity of the Decrease in the Quantum Yield of Quantum-Wells LEDs at the Long-Term Current Flow from the ABC Model Position
Authors: Manyakhin Fedor I. , Mokretsova Lyudmila O.
Published: January 2022

The works on degradation of light emitting diodes (LEDs) with quantum wells (QW) were analysed. The calculation model of the relation between LED luminous flux and duration of LED current flow and current density was proposed. It allows us to forecast service life of such radiators with the pre-set electric modes and temperature. It is demonstrated that:
– Reduction of quantum yield of LED with QW based on high-bandgap semiconductors with longterm flow of forward current occurs due to generation of point defects in the QW areas;
– The dot defects occur as a result of interaction between hot electrons and semiconductor atoms caused by subthreshold displacement out of the lattice dots;
– The dot defects create non-radiative recombination centres with particular concentration in the energy gap of a semiconductor, as a result of which intensities of recombination flows in QWs and in barriers between QWs redistribute towards the non-radiative component of the ABC model.

Стаття присвячена визначенню нових напрямків підвищення ефективності систем фізичного захисту об'єктів критичної інфраструктури, що охороняються, які є головним технічним засобом недопущення терористичних актів проти цих об'єктів. Спочатку дано характеристика систем охорони приміщень і контролю прилеглих територій об'єктів критичної інфраструктури, що охороняються. Показано, що за функціональним призначенням в систему фізичного захисту входять пристрої та системи сигналізації виявлення, збору і обробки інформації, тривожно викличної сигналізації, контролю і управління доступом, оптоелектронного спостереження, оперативного зв'язку та оповіщення, забезпечення електроживлення і електроосвітлення, системи забезпечення фізичного захисту ядерних матеріалів при транспортуванні. Вони розподіляються по трьох зонах: внутрішньої, охоронюваному периметру і зовнішньої (санітарній) зоні. Головним засобом збору інформації про обстановку на периметрі і підходах до нього є оптоелектронні засоби. Потім розглянути особливості процесу управління надзвичайної ситуацій терористичного характеру на об'єкті критичної інфраструктури, що охороняється. Показано, що головна мета управління надзвичайними ситуаціями терористичного характеру – це недопущення терористичного акту на об'єкті, що охороняється, який є об'єктом управління. Структурно-логічна модель управління надзвичайною ситуацію складається з шести блоків: блоку моніторингу ситуації; блоку виявлення ризику; блоку аналізу ризиків; блоку підготовки варіантів управлінських рішень; блоку прийняття рішення і доведення його виконавців; блоку впливу на ситуацію, яка через структуру виконавців впливає на об'єкт управління і замикає його контур управління, забезпечуючи тим самим безперервність процесу управління надзвичайною ситуацією терористичного характеру в інтересах її недопущення та запобігання. Після чого визначити шляхи підвищення ефективності систем фізичного захисту об'єктів критичної інфраструктури держави, що охороняються. Показано, що одним з перспективних напрямків підвищення ефективності процесу управління надзвичайною ситуацією терористичного характеру на об'єктах критичної інфраструктури держави, що охороняються є вдосконалення систем фізичного захисту шляхом розробки нових пристроїв і систем акустичного контролю приміщень і територій об'єкта і знімання мовної інформації з використанням параболічних, трубчастих і градієнтних мікрофонів і плоских акустичних фразованих решіток, які забезпечують прийом акустичних сигналів на видаленні від ніс кольких десятків до кількох сотень метрів і забезпечують повну інформацію про дії та наміри людей, що реєструються в відео системах.

The species is also a constituent of processed products are commercialized in various parts of the world including Brazil, although there are few reports in the literature about the development of an analytical method for quantification of flavonoids in it. The main purpose of this research was the evaluation of an analytical methodology to determinate the content of total flavonoids in leaves of S. occidentalis, for quality control. The parameters evaluated were: drug: solvent ratio, concentration of aluminum chloride and reaction time. The quantification of total flavonoids was obtained after reaction with aluminum chloride by UV/Vis spectrophotometry. The results revealed a maximum absorption peak (λ = 392 nm) was the amount of 0.5 g of a plant raw in 100 mL of solvent and there were no significant influences between the concentrations of aluminum chloride or hydroalcoholic solutions analyzed. The evaluation of reaction time allowed to characterize the kinetics as slow, stabilizing from 60 min, choosing this as reading time. The method was specific, linear, precise, accurate and robust, according to the specifications set in RDC n. 166/2017. Finally, the results of the study showed that the measured methodology is simple and accurate and can be applied for quality assessment of the species S. occidentalis.

O desenvolvimento do jogo foi baseado no método CTM3 e na metodologia da aprendizagem sem erros. Trata-se de um jogo, do tipo tabuleiro, em formato de boca, com 32 casas que assumiram o formato de dentes. Para a validação do jogo, dois instrumentos foram preenchidos por especialistas, com título de doutor nas áreas de educação ou saúde, e experiência na produção de materiais educativos e didáticos. Os especialistas validaram o jogo e sugeriram algumas melhorias em determinadas instruções aos alunos, tais como: especificar melhor os comportamentos que deveriam ser emitidos pelas crianças e adequar certas representações visuais. As adequações sugeridas foram realizadas e o jogo, posteriormente, passou por validação de banca de defesa de um Programa de Mestrado Profissional em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior de Alagoas. Assim, o jogo foi estruturado e validado para ajudar os professores a trabalharem a temática da saúde bucal no ambiente escolar. Por se tratar de um processo divertido e atrativo espera-se despertar nas crianças que farão uso do jogo, a vontade de realizar sua higiene oral e, nos professores o interesse em introduzir a temática saúde bucal nas suas atividades didáticas.
