Authors:   West Kazakhstan Innovation  and Technology University, Sultaniyazova Nasiya Zhalauovna
Published: December 2018

The paper analyzes the correlation of cultural dimensions of individualism and collectivism with the characteristics of subjective and psychological well-being of the personality. Four proportional samples of the Russians and Kazakhs from Russia and Kazakhstan were surveyed. Each sample comprised 75 people. The research involved 300 males and females (29 % of males) with an average age of M = 38 years, SD = 11.57, 69 % of city dwellers, 31 % of villagers. The study employed such methods as the Satisfaction with Life Scale by E. Diener and the Subjective Happiness Scale by S. Lyubomirsky and H. Lepper both adapted by D.A. Leontiev and E.N. Osin. The Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being modified by L.V. Zhukovskaya and E.G. Troshikhina were used to measure dimensions of autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, purpose in life, self-acceptance, positive relations with others, and overall rate. Cultural dimensions (individualism, collectivism) were measured by the Perceived Cultural Context Scale by V.I. Chirkov. The primary data were analyzed by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 19.0). The parametric technique (Student’s t-test), correlation and regression analysis were used to compare the samples. The study reveals the ethnic and national differences in properties under review. The paper identifies that horizontal strategies are typical for Russian people. The psychological well-being of the Russians and both characteristics of well-being of the Kazakhs are determined by the cultural dimension of horizontal individualism. The horizontal strategies prevail among the Kazakhs as well. However, the subjective well-being of the Russians is determined by horizontal collectivism, and their psychological well-being is explained by horizontal individualism. For the Kazakh sample, both characteristics of well-being are determined by the cultural dimension of horizontal collectivism.

The paper analyzes Russian research on the ideas of students about gender and matrimonial relations. The authors review different works of leading experts in family and youth issues concerning the attitude of young people towards marriage and cohabitation, motives for marriage, the desire/unwillingness to have children, interethnic marriages, and gender equality. The researchers identify the following problems of the above-mentioned studies: the locality, the use of various variables and samples, the lack of monitoring studies on reproductive and parenting roles among upperyear students, the challenge of considering interethnic marriages in Russia, the lack of research into the dynamics of gender stereotypes. The analysis of domestic works related to the matrimonial attitude of the youth demonstrates the changing views on the role of women and men in the family, tolerance towards cohabitation before marriage and conscious child-free choice, postponed marriages and pregnancies. At the same time, the authors note several positive aspects of students’ family attitudes: love is the basic motive for marriage; the students plan to have 2–3 children in the future.

Konstruksi Sosial Melalui Komunikasi Intrapribadi Mahasiswa Gay di Kota Bandung
Authors: Diniati Anisa
Published: January 2019

Isu homoseksualitas di tengah masyarakat Indonesia masih dianggap tabu. Berbagai macam stigma negatif melekat pada individu yang berani mengakui status mereka sebagai kaum homoseksual. Kini, fenomena gay menyebar hingga tingkat perguruan tinggi, lingkungan yang identik dengan nilai akademis, etika, norma, dan intelektual. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui konstruksi sosial mahasiswa gay di kota Bandung. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan studi kasus sebagai metode penelitiannya. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara dengan empat mahasiswa di kota Bandung yang menyatakan dirinya sebagai gay sekurang-kurangnya dalam lima tahun terakhir. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa mereka berani menerima diri sendiri sebagai seorang gay adalah setelah mereka memasuki masa perguruan tinggi di tempat perantauannya. Adapun dalam memaknai identitas dirinya sebagai mahasiswa gay, identitas diri mereka dipengaruhi oleh dua faktor, yaitu desakan internal (perception, learning, dan emotion); dan desakan eksternal (residence culture, family, dan peer group). Dalam penelitian ini, faktor yang paling dominan adalah desakan internal dimana faktor tersebut memengaruhi proses pengambilan keputusan seseorang untuk menerima dirinya menjadi seorang gay. Pengambilan keputusan yang diambil oleh dirinya juga dipengaruhi oleh adanya kebutuhan (psikologis dan sosial) serta hasrat (orientasi seksual), yang pada akhirnya membentuk suatu konstruksi sosial tentang bagaimana mereka berinteraksi dengan lingkungannya, khususnya di lingkungan kampus.
Komunikasi Visual: Fantasi Tubuh Wanita Kelas Menengah di Instagram
Authors: Kertamukti Rama , Nugroho Heru , Wahyono S. Bayu
Published: January 2019

Budaya manusia memberikan perwujudan kecantikan dalam doktrin rasis yang menyingkirkan heterogenitas perbedaan tubuh. Cantik menjadi standar representasi tubuh perempuan yang cantik dan ramping. Instagram memberikan ruang untuk wanita menjadi ramping dan cantik dengan berbagai sumber daya yang menegaskan perbedaan ramping dan gendut, serta menolak adanya representasi liyan terhadap tubuh. Tubuh gemuk akan dilekati oleh bayang-bayang obesitas sehingga gemuk menjadi sindrom bagi kebanyakan wanita. Instagram digunakan wanita kelas menengah untuk berfantasi mengenai tubuh yang dipresentasikan. Instagram dapat memanipulasi tubuh yang “nyata” mengikuti fantasi tubuh ketika memasuki logika Instagram yaitu visual artistik. Pengguna Instagram berfantasi dengan resources yang dimiliki Instagram, mereka berfantasi dengan tubuh ramping yang dipresentasikan di ruang online-feed Instagram. Penelitian ini mengkaji fenomena praktik wanita kelas menengah dalam memperlihatkan perubahan signifikan yang tidak ada batasan ruang dan waktu di ruang Instagram. Analisa yang dilakukan di sini dengan mendasarkan pada teori wacana tekstual. Wacana senantiasa melibatkan kondisi sosial dalam memproduksi dan menafsirkannya. Kondisi-kondisi terkait erat dengan tiga tataran organisasi sosial: situasi sosial, institusi sosial dan tataran sosial secara umum. Melihat wacana sebagai praktik sosial berarti mengkaji teks dalam hal ini visual di Instagram, menganalisis produksi, interpretasi serta mendalami hubungan teks, proses dan kondisi-kondisi sosial baik konteks situasional-institusional serta tatanan masyarakat. Dua akun yang diteliti @putrilellyana dan @rosakusumaazhar menghadirkan wacana wanita mengenai tubuh. Kenyataan yang termanifestasikan dua akun ini bahwa konsumsi dan produksi dalam arena Instagram memberikan pembentukan pola realitas sosial. Instagram menjadi alat pembentuk konstruksi sosial, sekaligus pembentuk wujud kuasa kebenaran dalam realitas sosial, Instagram membuat ruang kendali keseragaman norma-norma kehidupan.

Pangandaran adalah salah satu destinasi wisata terkenal di Jawa Barat yang memiliki keanekaragaman hayati dan keanekaragaman budaya yang terus dipelihara melalui mekanisme pendidikan lingkungan untuk menuju ke arah pelestarian dan pembangunan lingkungan yang berkelanjutan (sustainable). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi kearifan lokal, pola interaksi antar pemangku kepentingan, dan saluran komunikasi yang mendukung terbentuknya geopark Pangandaran. Metode penelitiannya eksploratif untuk menginventarisir berbagai gejala yang berkaitan dengan pelaksanaan kearifan lokal, pola interaksi, dan saluran komunikasi dalam mendukung terbentuknya geopark Pangandaran. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan pedoman wawancara, dan studi kepustakaan. Informannya penggiat wisata yang terkait dengan pengembangan wisata berbasis kearifan lokal di Kabupaten Pangandaran yang dipilih secara purposif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kearifan lokal, seperti, layang syeikh, babarit, hajat leuweung, dan sebagainya telah dimanfaatkan untuk menambah daya tarik wisata di berbagai wilayah di Kabupaten Pangandaran. Pola interaksi pada tataran birokrat masih belum jelas, karena rencana tersebut baru sebatas wacana atau statement politis, sedangkan pada tataran masyarakat (penggiat budaya dan pariwisata) sudah terbentuk melalui forum silaturahmi dengan sesepuh adat, dan diskusi kelompok penggiat budaya dan wisata, sehingga terbangun kesepahaman, kesepakatan, kerjasama, dan kolaborasi di antara mereka. Saluran komunikasi yang terbentuk bersifat person to person (antarpersona) antara penggiat budaya dan pariwisata dengan sesepuh adat. Saluran kelompok memiliki konformitas dan kohesivitas yang tinggi dalam mengembangkan destinasi wisata geopark berbasis budaya dan kearifan lokal di Pangandaran. Media sosial digunakan untuk mengirim dan menerima informasi, sehingga semakin menguatkan hubungan dan ikatan sosial di antara mereka.

Evaluation of Actual Creep Length Under Heading up Structures Aprons
Authors: El-Molla Mohamed , Saad Naveen Y , Ezizah Gada S
Published: December 2018

In this paper a 2D finite element model (SEEP2D) is implemented to study the actual head loss along the sheet piles fixed at the ends of an apron of a heading up structure. Different scenarios for the thickness of the pervious layer under the apron, the length of the apron and the depths of the upstream and downstream sheet piles are studied.  Results show that assuming the outer and inner faces of the sheet piles have the same weight for estimating the creep length while designing aprons of hydraulic structures is weak. Design equations for the actual head loss along the outer and inner faces for both the upstream and downstream sheet piles are driven. These equations can be used as a tool in the practical design for aprons of heading up structures formed on pervious soil and provided with upstream and downstream sheet piles at its ends.

Published: December 2018

In

this study, cow and buffalo milk with different fat contents were used for the

production of kefir drinks with kefir grain or kefir culture, and the protein

and tyrosine contents of kefir drinks were determined during 21 days of storage

at 4°C. The protein content of samples decreased during storage (P<0.05). Protein

contents of kefir samples ranged from 3.44 to 4.80% (P<0.05) at the

beginning and from 3.31 to 4.71% at the last day of storage. Tyrosine content

of kefir samples increased for the first 14 days of storage, and it decreased

at the end of storage except for the kefir produced with cow milk (P<0.05). Tyrosine

contents of samples produced with starter culture were higher than those with

kefir grains, and the use of cow milk had a significant effect on the tyrosine

content of kefir samples (P<0.05). At the end of storage, the highest

tyrosine content (15.80 µg/g) was determined in kefir from cow milk with a 0.5%

fat content and starter culture, and the lowest (8.04 µg/g) was determined in kefir

from buffalo milk with a 3% fat content and kefir grain (P<0.05).

Tarhana, Anadolu insanının yüzyıllar boyunca hazırlayıp, tükettiği fermente gıdalardan biridir. Uşak tarhanası ise aromatik özellikleri nedeniyle tüketiciler tarafından tercih edilmektedir. Besleyici değeri ve kolay sindirilebilirliği nedeniyle tarhana bebek beslenmesinde de önemli bir gıda olmuştur. Bu çalışmada Uşak tarhanasının formülasyonunda bebek beslenmesi için yapılan zenginleştirmenin, mikrobiyolojik ve kimyasal özelliklerine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında Uşak tarhanası formülasyonuna mercimek, havuç ve nohut katkılanarak bebek beslenmesi için zenginleştirilmiş tarhana üretilmiş, geleneksel Uşak tarhanası formulasyonuyla üretilen kontrol tarhana örneğiyle kıyaslanmıştır. Bebek beslenmesi için zenginleştirilmiş tarhana hamurlarında başlangıçta fermantasyon hızı yavaşlamasına rağmen mikrobiyal sayı ve kimyasal değişimler bakımından kontrol grubundan bir fark tespit edilememiştir. Ancak fermantasyonun ilerleyen aşamalarında bebek beslenmesi için zenginleştirilmiş tarhana hamurunda daha fazla laktik asit bakterisi (LAB) çeşitliliği tespit edilmiştir. Kontrol tarhana hamurlarından farklı olarak bebek beslenmesi için zenginleştirilmiş tarhana hamurlarında Lactobacillus alimentarius’un varlığı saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, Uşak tarhanası bebek beslenmesi için zenginleştirilebilir niteliktedir.

üzerine etkisinin araştırıldığı bu anket çalışması, Tekirdağ ili Süleymanpaşa

ilçesinden seçilmiş 406 tüketici ile yürütülmüştür. Bu çalışma ile tüketicilerin gıda maddeleri

satın alırken bilgi düzeyleri ve tutumlarının ne olduğunun ortaya

konması ve satın almada en fazla önem

verdikleri faktörleri ortaya koymak ve konuyla ilgili farkındalığı artırmak amaçlanmıştır. Katılımcılara besin etiketinin

önemi, okuma nedenleri, etiketteki bilgileri anlama düzeyleri, etiket bilgilerinin

anlaşılma oranı, hangi bilgilerin daha çok okunduğu, hangi ürünlerin

etiketlerinin daha çok okunduğu, etiketteki “içindekiler” bilgisinin anlaşılma

oranı, sağlık sorununun etiket okuma oranına etkisi sorulmuştur. Araştırma sonuçlarına

göre, bayanların etiket bilgisine

daha çok dikkat ettiği ve yazılı ifadelerin daha etkin olduğu görülmüştür. Etiket

bilgisi için televizyonun daha önemli eğitici araç olduğu, sağlık sorunlarının

etiket okumada etkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Televizyonda etiket okuma ile ilgili olarak yayınlanacak

programlar halkın bilinçlendirilmesinde ciddi katkılar sağlayacaktır. Etiketlerin

kolay ve hızlı bir şekilde anlaşılmasında, standart ve basit halde sunulmaları

önemli bir etken olacaktır.

Şeker otu olarak da bilinen Stevia rebaudiana, tatlandırıcı ve

tedavi edici özelliklerinden dolayı milyonlarca insan tarafından yıllardır

kullanılmaktadır. Bununla birlikte yapılan çalışmalarda araştırmacılar stevia

bitkisinin gıda sektöründe kullanılması mümkün olan çeşitli özelliklerini de

rapor etmişlerdir. Stevia rebaudiana

yaprakları bütün besin maddelerini az da olsa içermektedir. Ancak bu bitkiye

sakkarozdan 100 ile 300 kat tatlılık özelliği kazandıran en önemli bileşikler

steviol glikozitlerdir. Ayrıca stevia yapraklarında gıdaya antimikrobiyal ve

antioksidan özelliği kazandıran flavonoitler ve fenolik bileşiklerin olduğu da

belirtilmiştir. Bu durum stevianın tatlandırıcı olarak kullanılmasının yanı

sıra farklı amaçlarla da kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada, Stevia rebaudiana bitkisinin

tatlandırıcı, antioksidan ve antimikrobiyal özelliklerinin derlenmesi

amaçlanmıştır.

Gıda işleme teknolojilerinde, daha

kaliteli ürün eldesi amacıyla minimal işleme yöntemlerinin kullanımı yaygın

hale gelmiştir. Minimal işleme yöntemleri arasında yer alan elektriksel

yöntemler, gıdaların işlenmesinde farklı amaçlarla (kurutma, ekstraksiyon,

pastörizasyon, sterilizasyon, pişirme, çözündürme vb.) uygulanmaktadır.

Elektriksel işlemin etkinliği uygulanan frekans ve dalga tipinden

etkilenmektedir. İşlem için seçilen parametreler, uygulamanın verimi ve ürün

kalitesi üzerine etkili olmaktadır. Bu konuda yapılan çalışmalarda, yüksek

frekans uygulamalarının gıda içerisinde ve elektrot yüzeylerinde meydana gelen

elektrokimyasal reaksiyonları minimize ettiği, farklı dalga tiplerinin ürün

kalitesi üzerine etkisinin olmadığı, ancak kare dalga tipi uygulamasının

elektriksel iletkenlik değerini düşürerek işlem süresini arttırdığı ifade

edilmektedir. Bu derleme çalışmasında, gıdaların elektriksel yöntemlerle

işlenmesinde farklı frekans ve dalga tipi uygulamalarının işlem süresi, işlem

verimliliği, ürün kalitesi ve mikroorganizmaların inaktivasyonu üzerine

etkileri incelenmiştir.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether Mycobacterium bovis remains viable in ensiled forages.

SAMPLE Alfalfa, mixed mostly grass, and corn silages.

PROCEDURES For each of 10 sampling days, six 250-g replicate samples of each feedstuff were created and placed in a film pouch that could be vacuum sealed to simulate the ensiling process. Within each set of replicate samples, 4 were inoculated with 10 mL of mycobacterial liquid culture medium containing viable M bovis and 2 were inoculated with 10 mL of sterile mycobacterial liquid culture medium (controls) on day 0. Pouches were vacuum sealed and stored in the dark at room temperature. On the designated sampling day, 1 control pouch was submitted for forage analysis, and the other pouches were opened, and forage samples were obtained for M bovis culture and analysis with a PCR assay immediately and 24 hours later.

RESULTS None of the control samples had positive M bovis culture or PCR assay results. Among M bovis-inoculated samples, the organism was not cultured from alfalfa and corn silage for > 2 days but was cultured from mixed mostly grass silage for 28 days after inoculation and ensiling initiation. Mycobacterium bovis DNA was detected by PCR assay in samples of all 3 feedstuffs throughout the 112-day observation period.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggested that properly ensiled forages would be an unlikely source for M bovis transmission to cattle. Further research is necessary to determine whether ensiling kills M bovis or forces it to become dormant and, if the latter, elucidate the conditions that cause it to revert to an infectious state.

OBJECTIVE To report history, findings from clinical examinations and diagnostic imaging, treatment, and outcomes associated with distal interphalangeal primary degenerative joint disease (DIP-PDJD) and to evaluate diagnostic usefulness and limitations of standing low-field MRI, relative to radiography and ultrasonography, for the diagnosis of DIP-PDJD in horses.

DESIGN Retrospective case series with nested evaluation study.

ANIMALS 12 client-owned horses.

PROCEDURES Medical records were reviewed, and data were collected regarding signalment, history, results of physical and diagnostic imaging examinations, treatments, and outcomes of horses that underwent radiography, ultrasonography, and standing MRI for DIP-PDJD. Findings from radiography, ultrasonography, and MRI were recorded, and abnormal findings were graded. The diagnostic usefulness of MRI, relative to radiography and ultrasonography, in the diagnosis of DIP-PDJD in horses was evaluated.

RESULTS A diagnosis of DIP-PDJD was established in 12 of 176 (6.8%) horses that underwent MRI examination of a foot for locomotor disorders. Radiography and ultrasonography enabled confirmation of DIP-PDJD in 3 of the 12 horses, and standing MRI enabled confirmation of DIP-PDJD in the remaining 9. Mean grade for thinning joint space and cartilage were significantly greater when determined with MRI, compared with radiography. Mean grade for osteophytes and periarticular bone remodeling were significantly greater when determined with radiography and ultrasonography, compared with MRI.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that DIP-PDJD can be challenging to detect with routine imaging, especially when synovial effusion and periarticular new bone formation are absent. Standing low-field MRI represents a potentially useful diagnostic tool to diagnose advanced DIP-PDJD in horses.
Exceptionally well-preserved Early Cretaceous leaves of Nilssoniopteris from central Mongolia

Two new Early Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian) species of fossil bennettitalean leaves are described from central Mongolia and assigned to the genus Nilssoniopteris. Nilssoniopteris tomentosa F.Herrera, G.Shi, Tsolmon, Ichinnorov, Takahashi, P.R.Crane, et Herend. sp. nov., isolated from bulk sediment samples collected for mesofossils in the Tevshiingovi Formation at the Tevshiin Govi opencast coal mine, is distinctive in having a dense, well-developed indumentum composed of branched, flattened multicellular trichomes on the abaxial leaf surface. This species provides the first direct evidence of complex multicellular trichomes in Bennettitales and adds to the evidence of leaf anatomical features in the group that were probably advantageous in increasing water use efficiency and/or perhaps had other functions such as deterring insect herbivory. Comparison with other well-preserved leaves of Bennettitales, including Nilssoniopteris shiveeovoensis F.Herrera, G.Shi, Tsolmon, Ichinnorov, Takahashi, P.R.Crane, et Herend. sp. nov., collected as hand specimens from the Khukhteeg Formation at the Shivee Ovoo locality, suggests that the trichome bases seen commonly on the abaxial cuticle of bennettitalean leaves bore trichomes with very low fossilization potential. In some cases these trichomes may have been shed as the leaves matured, but in other cases they probably decayed during diagenesis or were destroyed during the standard processes by which fossil leaf cuticles are prepared.

Based on many regulations the biofuels are widely used in combustion engines. The operational parameters, such as performance parameters or emission production, are often monitored. The essence of changes to these operational parameters is related to the effect of biofuels on the course of cylinder pressure inside the combustion chamber. The contribution deals with the effect of biobutanol-sunflower oil-diesel fuel blends on the performance parameters, the behaviour of the cylinder pressure of the compression ignition engine during combustion, and exhaust gas temperature. Biobutanol-sunflower oil-diesel fuel blends in ratios of 10–20–70% and 20–20–60% were used as test fuels, with diesel fuel used as a reference. Turbocharged four-cylinder inline CI engine Zetor 1204 installed in the tractor Zetor Forterra 8642 was used for measurement. Based on the results, it can be stated that with higher amount of butanol in the fuel mixture, the maximum value of cylinder pressure decreases, especially at a high engine load.
