Essence and features of the discourse of romantic culture of love: an attempt of rethinking
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Turenko V. E.
Published: February 2020

The article analyzes the nature of the romantic culture of love. Romantic love is seen as a love culture, which includes a set of beliefs, ideals, principles that have developed in the Middle Ages, and the idea of which passes from generation to generation, from one century to another. It is emphasized that the romantic culture of love is not only a discourse of passion and ethos of eros. This cultural-historical type of love absorbs the connotations agape, filia and storge. Consequently, the discourse of those who love in the romantic invariant is not focused solely on passion, it is also caring, understanding, responsibility, attention, sacrifice, etc. – aspects inherent in love-filia, love-storge and love-agape. It is proved that a discourse of romantic culture of love is not realized through the prism of "rose-colored glasses", but in the context of understanding that the emergence of this feeling inevitably generates a sense of vulnerability in both participants of the love discourse. The presence of sorrow in one of the participants of the discourse of love is one of the most characteristic and vivid signs of the romantic culture of love. From the philosophical point of view, various aspects of love affliction are considered as markers of truth and authenticity of feelings, relationships between lovers. Tears, in romantic love - is not the weakness of an object and/or subject of love discourse, but it is their strength, depth and basis for the continuation of their history of feelings. It turns out that in contrast to the modern post-romantic culture of love, in the romantic tradition, the basis of love relations is the maximum recognition of the person. The one who we love is given to us as a fact of life, as the world itself. Love for which the only truly significant and determining any choice is the value of a particular, separate personality. The person we love, in essence, cannot be the subject of evaluation. One may be neither reasonable, nor good, but he/she is capable of transforming a valuable world, revealing its unity, its ability to harmony and doomed to disharmony. The love of human to human (the subject of Love) is the path where all the faces and all the boundaries, that distinguish people from one or another affiliation, disappear.
Reconstruir el modelo de desarrollo
Authors: Maldonado Narváez Marlon Iván
Published: February 2020

En el presente artículo se analiza el contexto del modelo de atracción de la inversión extranjera y las debilidades que la misma supone para el mantenimiento del desarrollo económico y social en la región. Especialmente si se tiene en cuenta la cantidad de concesiones realizadas por los Estados para hacerse llamativos, y la responsabilidad que se genera al no poder mantener tantos beneficios como se ofrecen. Por tal razón se estudian algunos casos de Estados que para hacerse atractivos promovieron cambios internos, que los fortalecieron haciéndose llamativos a la inversión extranjera, sin necesidad de realizar tantas concesiones. Para la presente investigación, nos basamos en el método deductivo, partiendo de la generalidad de los casos, y pasando posteriormente al análisis de situaciones concretas que pueden favorecer el desarrollo regional, disminuyendo la dependencia de los capitales extranjeros. Aspecto que se fortaleció a partir de una revisión de la bibliografía la cual sirvió como sustento para la reafirmación de las conclusiones que se obtuvieron. Siendo la principal, el hecho de que, para ser más llamativos, se requiere principalmente de procesos de reconstrucción interna, del fortalecimiento de la institucionalidad y de las estructuras de las que se dispone. De esa manera la región será más competitiva y atractiva a la inversión extranjera.
A Study on the Plastic Waste and Environmental Degradation
Authors: Rajkumar Ponnusamy
Published: February 2020

Plastic waste component of the urban solid waste is quite problematic. As it is non-biodegradable, it can stay in the environment for a longer time causing severe environmental degradation. Unless it is properly disposed of, environmental degradation is unavoidable. The environmental degradation would potentially harm the human and biological wealth. The study has made an attempt to understand the extent of usage of plastic materials and the mode of disposal thereof by the people. It is an empirical study based upon the data collected from the Tiruchirappalli City of Tamil Nadu, India. The data collected for the study are from 515 residents of the city who are selected through multi-stage random sampling method. The first step is, identification of wards (the sub divisions of the Zone of an urban community in India) from the zones of the city and secondly, the identification of households at random. From the selected households, the researcher identified the available senior most adult members as the respondents and by using the tool of interview-schedule, (a tool which is having a set of questions can be employed among literate and illiterate respondents for the collection of primary data) the data collected from them. The disposal pattern of each income group is having association with the attitude towards the disposal and the level of environmental awareness.

Published: February 2020

Energy subsidies are widespread around the world but country wise varying greatly by the importance of energy supply. As a developing country Bangladesh contains various energy e.g- electricity, natural gas, comprehensive natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydro-electricity, biomass etc. to convey the production purpose, peoples’ demand, subsistence needs of general people and standard livelihood. But it is not entirely possible to maintain all kind of national purpose by stored energy which required the essential subsidies to import the necessary energy from abroad as such as above BDT 282 billion (US$ 3.4 billion) in 2012. Although government provides subsidies for the necessary energy but it (subsidies) has various social, economic and environmental impact that plays the influential impact on our entire national economic growth and development process which is analyzed in the present study.

Published: February 2020

Food Price inflation an economic challenge in global world. The objective of the study is to examine the demand pull and cost push variables that affect food prices inflation. We use time series annual data from 1980-2013. Data is generated from various issues economic survey of Pakistan and world development indicators. We applied ADF test, Johansen’s co-integration technique, and VECM to analyze the long term and short run relationship between the variables. The result obtained from double log model explores that most significant demand pull and cost push variables are fertilizer prices, fuel prices, money supply, per capita GDP, and foreign aid which are positively related with food prices while exchange rate is inversely related with food prices in Pakistan. The error correction model is also statistically significant and shows that market forces play an active role in restoring long-run equilibrium.

Authors: Khan Md. Ashraful Islam
Published: February 2020

Stock market plays the crucial role to move funds from the surplus units to the deficit units, therefore, it accelerate the economic development of a country. Noise trading is one of the important issues that influence the stock market volatility dynamics. Noise traders are very sensitive in having well or bad news rather use standard data/stock index for decision to buy or sell share. This sensitivity makes market more volatile. The aim of this study is to collect opinions from the market practitioners on their thinking about noise trading and profit from stock market.

Published: February 2020

The survey was done on major pulse crop growing districts with the objective of assessing the distribution and occurrence of Orobanche spp. in the highlands of North Gondar. Representative Farmer’s fields from selected seven districts were assessed in every 5-10 km interval along the road ride to record the incidence, prevalence and severity of Orobanche spp. In all surveyed districts of N. Gondar Orobanche crenata was found with the highest prevalence and incidence of 85.71% and 10.71%, respectively on fields covered with Linseed. Among districts, the highest prevalence of 66.67% was recorded on both Chilga and Gonder zuria districts. In addition to this, a maximum severity of 3 out of 6 (i.e. majority of host plants infected with two shoots) was recorded only on two fields out of all fields surveyed of the seven districts. During the survey, it was found that Xanthium strumarium was its wild host. Finally, awareness creation and establishment of quarantine system should be done to minimize the dissemination of parasitic weed seed to other areas within the administrative zone and the region. Likewise, different management options should be developed in the future not only to minimize the yield loss due to Orobanche crenata but also to manage its wild hosts like Xanthium strumarium.

Authors: Iderawumi Abdulraheem Mukhtar , Mubo Omogoye Adewale , Friday Charles Eneminyene
Published: February 2020

The trial was carried out at the Teaching and Research farm of The College of Education, Lanlate to determine the growth characteristics and yield effects of plant spacing and intercropping maize and cowpea. The experimental design used was Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) six treatments and five replicates. The treatments were as follows; (1) Cowpea intercropped with maize at 50 X 50cm spacing; (2) Cowpea intercropped with maize at 25 X 25 cm spacing; (3) Sole maize at 50 X 50cm spacing; (4) Sole cowpea at 50 X 50cm spacing; (5) Sole maize at 25 X 25cm spacing and (6) Sole cowpea at 25 X 25cm spacing. Each treatment was replicated five times to make thirty (30) experimental plots. The planting of maize (Zea mays) and the cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) was done on 12th June, 2016 with different spacing while the supplying was done a week later. The seeds emerged five days after planting. The plots were kept weed free for the first weeks after planting manually and subsequently done at two week interval. Thinning was done three weeks after planting which was on 27th June, 2016. Thinning was done to reduce the plant to one per stand. The stem height and girth of the cowpea and maize were measured in centimetre (cm) from 2nd week of planting using ruler till the harvesting. At harvesting, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, first day of flowering, weight of the seeds was measured for the cowpea while the number of seeds per cob and the weight of the seed were measured for the maize. The stem height and girth for maize and cowpea were used to evaluate the growth of the crops in each week to harvesting while the number of pods, weight of seeds, flowering period, and weight of cob were used to evaluate the yield of cowpea and maize. Data were analysed by the general linear model statistical procedure with the comparisons of means among treatments with Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The growth of maize is better when intercropped with cowpea at 50X50cm spacing. The growth of maize intercropped with cowpea at 25X25cm spacing is better also using the stem height as comparative measure when compared with the sole maize both at 50X50cm and 25X25cm spacing respectively. It is observed that interplanting of maize and cowpea will really improve the growth and yield of maize and not for the cowpea. A wider spacing for the two crops at 50 X50cm spacing will also bring a slight increase in the yield of cowpea. It is recommended that to boost the yield maize only and to maximize the available land for planting, planting of maize with cowpea at 50 X 50cm spacing is very important.

Prawda fundamentem wychowania
Authors: Łabendowicz Stanisław
Published: February 2020

W każdym z nas istnieje wrodzona potrzeba poznawania wszystkiego, co nas otacza i to w sposób niezakłamany. Miłość do prawdy objawia się w potrzebie jej poznania i w dążeniu do niej w życiu. Poznając prawdę o otaczającym go świecie, człowiek stopniowo zyskuje zdolność samodzielnego odróżniania prawdy od fałszu. Nabycie tej umiejętności pozwala uznać go za człowieka dojrzałego. Niezwykle ważnym elementem wychowywania do prawdy młodego pokolenia jest ukazanie dzieciom i młodzieży Osoby i życia Chrystusa, który jest nie tylko Prawdą, ale także Drogą, Życiem i Dobrem (por. J 14,6). Nie ma bowiem wychowania bez uprzedniego ukazania Prawdy. Wychowanie w prawdzie polega na poszukiwaniu, ale i na świadczeniu o niej w różnych sytuacjach życiowych. Wychowanie w prawdzie to wychowanie do życia odważnego. Prawda bowiem wymaga od człowieka nieustraszonego trwania przy niej, a w razie potrzeby – mężnej jej obrony, a nawet heroicznego poświęcania się dla niej. Człowiek jest powołany do życia w prawdzie i miłości. Odnosi się to zarówno do tych, którzy wychowują, jak i do tych, którzy są wychowywani.

Nauczanie religii jako przestrzeń przeciwdziałania wykorzystywaniu seksualnemu dzieci

Wykorzystywanie seksualne dzieci jest zjawiskiem, które występuje w różnych środowiskach społecznych. Temat ten obecnie pojawia się coraz częściej nie tylko w badaniach naukowych, ale także w debacie publicznej i w programach profilaktyczno-wychowawczych szkoły. Wciąż jednak brakuje opracowań poświęconych roli nauczania religii w przeciwdziałaniu wykorzystywaniu seksualnemu dzieci. Lekcje religii – z uwagi na ich wychowawczy wymiar i korelację z edukacją szkolną – odgrywają ważną rolę w działalności profilaktycznej. Stanowią odpowiednią przestrzeń do podejmowania inicjatyw w zakresie przeciwdziałania wykorzystywaniu seksualnemu dzieci. W nowych dokumentach programowych nauczania religii w szkole podstawowej wielokrotnie zwraca się uwagę na kwestie związane z bezpiecznym środowiskiem oraz rozpoznawaniem zagrożeń w otoczeniu i odpowiednim reagowaniem. Nauczyciel religii ma nie tylko obowiązek zapewnić uczniom opiekę i bezpieczeństwo, ale także wyposażyć dzieci w wiedzę i umiejętności pozwalające na rozpoznawanie oraz unikanie sytuacji, w których istnieje zagrożenie wykorzystywaniem seksualnym.

Podejmując wyżej zasygnalizowaną problematykę, w niniejszym opracowaniu odwołano się zarówno do prawa oświatowego, jak i do nowych dokumentów programowych nauczania religii. Zwrócono uwagę na cele i treści oraz na rozwiązania organizacyjne i metodyczne aktywności profilaktycznej w wymienionym zakresie. W tym kontekście wyakcentowano znaczenie współpracy nauczyciela religii z rodzicami, szkołą i odpowiednimi służbami (np. policją). Zaangażowanie rodziców odgrywa bowiem ważną rolę w zapobieganiu wykorzystywaniu seksualnemu dzieci.
Katecheza o Sądzie Ostatecznym na fresku z Sant' Agata dei Goti
Authors: Mąkosa Paweł
Published: February 2020

Wśród różnych form katechezy średniowiecznej wyróżnia się ikonografia, która ilustrowała podstawowe prawdy wiary i zachęcała do życia zgodnego z tym nauczaniem. Jednym z popularnych tematów ikonograficznych tego okresu był Sąd Ostateczny umieszczany zazwyczaj na tylnej ścianie kościołów po to, aby przypominać wychodzącym z kościoła ludziom o ich ostatecznym losie. Kwestie eschatologiczne cieszyły się zawsze dużą popularnością, bowiem dotyczą osobiście każdego człowieka. Oprócz zainteresowania wiernych treściami eschatologicznymi powodem powstawania przedstawień Sądu Ostatecznego była ich forma wizualna, dostępna dla każdego, nawet dla najsłabiej wykształconych. Jednym z tego typu dzieł jest fresk znajdujący się w miejscowości Sant'Agata dei Goti we Włoszech, który jest przedmiotem analizy w niniejszym opracowaniu. Omówione zostały główne treści przedstawione na fresku i ich forma. Wskazano na teologiczne znaczenie poszczególnych elementów ikonograficznych i ich zgodność z oficjalnym nauczaniem Kościoła. Podsumowując analizę fresku można stwierdzić, że stanowi on ważną formę ówczesnej katechezy, poprawnej teologicznie i mającej duże znaczenie pedagogiczne.

Bolted joint compliance analysis with account for the roughness of contact surfaces
Authors: Buketkin B.V. , Zyablikov V.M. , Semenov-Ezhov I.E. , Shirshov A.A.
Published: February 2020

Bolted joints are widespread in various industries. They are used both in detachable and in non-detachable connections. The main requirement for bolted joints is to ensure the strength of the connection and guaranteed contact pressure on the connected surfaces, i.e. joints, during the operation of the structure. As a rule, their design and calculation do not take into account the contact compliance of surfaces, which is determined by their macro- and microroughnesses. This problem leads to an overestimation of the joint strength and an underestimation of the predicted joint compliance. The study proposes a simple model which makes it possible by calculation to take into account the effect of the roughness of the contacting surfaces on the compliance of the joint without modifying the ANSYS application package. On the example of a flange connection, an experimental verification of the adequacy of the proposed model was carried out.
The Archive and the Digital Age: Field Notes from the Pedagogical Front
Authors: Makaryk Irena R. , Hemingway Ann
Published: February 2020

The digital environment in which the humanities are now firmly immersed has opened the door to innovative ways for students to interact with traditional formats such as archival and print material, and to develop a deep and personal understanding of topics and issues. Libraries, museums and archives are in the unique position of facilitating the creation of digital initiatives in the classroom by offering up their collections as “learning laboratories,” and by sharing their expertise in technology, information, and digital literacy as well as data management. Through active collaboration with course instructors, they can build bridges between their collections and the digital skills students need in order to embrace the new learning paradigm and to help lead them into the future. This paper outlines an archival-digital pilot launched in 2015 at the University of Ottawa, Canada. It situates the project in its historical context; details its early and subsequent iterations; and surveys the assumptions, challenges, surprises, and pleasures of introducing students to archival sources and to acquiring digital skills.
Shakespeare across the Taiwan Strait: A Developmental Perspective
Authors: Sun Yu , Zhang Longhai
Published: February 2020

Shakespeare studies in Mainland China and Taiwan evolved from the same origin during the two centuries after Shakespeare being introduced into China in the early nineteenth century. Although Shakespeare was first seen on the Taiwan stage in the Japanese language during the colonial period, it was after Kuomintang moved to Taiwan in 1949 that Shakespeare studies began to flourish when scholars and theatrical experts from mainland China, such as Liang Shih-Chiu, Yu Er-Chang, Wang Sheng-shan and others brought Chinese Shakespeare to Taiwan. Since the 1980s, mainland Shakespeareans began to communicate actively with their colleagues in Taiwan. With the continuous efforts of Cao Yu, Fang Ping, Meng Xianqiang, Gu Zhengkun, Yang Lingui and many other scholars in mainland China and Chu Li-Min, Yen Yuan-shu, Perng Ching-Hsi and other scholars in Taiwan, communications and conversations on Shakespeare studies across the Taiwan Strait were gradually enhanced in recent years. Meanwhile, innovations in Chinese adaptations of Shakespeare have resulted in a new performing medium, Shake-xiqu, through which theatrical practitioners on both sides explore possibilities of a union of Shakespeare and traditional Chinese theatre. This paper studies some intricate relationship in the history of Shakespeare studies in mainland China and Taiwan from a developmental perspective and suggests opportunities for positive and effective co-operations and interactions in the future.

Published: February 2020

This study was designed ability using antibody against buffalo PAG to detect concentration of pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (PAG) in bovine plasma samples. Successful purification of buffalo PAG molecules with high enrichment degree by using Vicia villosa aûnity chromatography was recently reported. In this research, the RIA system using novel anti buffalo-PAG was used for bovine pregnancy diagnosis. In a total 437 blood sampling of dairy cow in Belgium were used. Three PAG-RIA systems were undertaken to measure PAG concentration in bovine routine blood samples: AS#497 (or RIA-1) using rabbit antisera against purified bovine PAG67kDa, AS#706 (or RIA-2) using rabbit antisera against caprine PAG55+62kDa and new AS#859 (or RIA-3) using rabbit antisera against buffalo PAG59.5-75.8kDa). The measured PAG concentrations were similar for the systems As#497 and As#859; although the dilution was shown parallel, the measured PAG concentrations were significantly different between systems As#706 and As#859. On the other hand, the coefficients of correlations between concentrations obtained by the use of As#859 and As#497 were highly comparable to those between As#859 and As#706 or As#497 and As#706. In conclusion, the present study clearly shows that antisera against buffalo PAG can be used to develop new PAG-RIA system for bovine pregnancy diagnosis with high comparable results.

A number of studies confirm that dietary pattern plays a role as one of the biological factors affecting mood regulation through the production of nerotransmitters, however, there are conflicting results regarding the matter in adolescent. This study aimed to examine the correlation between dietary pattern and depression in adolescent. Methods: This study was done through cross sectional analytical observational study in 89 high school students in SMAK St. Louis Surabaya. The data was gathered through two types of questionnaires filled by the respondents. The questionnaires were Food Frequency Questionnaire to assess dietary intake pattern and Beck Depression Inventory to assess the occurence of depression amongst the respondents. Results: The study showed high prevalence of irregular dietary pattern and depression within the sample. From Spearman correlation test, there is no correlation between dietary pattern and the prevalence as well as the degree of depression (p > 0,05). Conclusion: There is no correlation between dietary pattern and depression in adolescent. It may be caused by a lot of other factors contributing to the occurence of depression, including biological, psychological, and social factors.

Introduction: Computer becomes a highly used and essential tool in daily life. This also applies to occupational level. However, there are risk factors in using the computer within daily life while working, one of them is the posture while working in front of computer. Due to the risk factors, computer workers develop complaint in upper extremities, but they tend to ignore it. The complaint silently decreases their life quality, efficiency, and productivity. This study aimed to find the correlation between human posture and musculoskeletal disorder (MSD). Methods: This was an observational analytic study, using total sampling technique. The subjects were the computer workers in Indonesian State Owned Enterprises in Surabaya. They were given NMQ for mapping the distribution of complaint. Observational sheets were provided to assess the human posture using NERPA Assessment Worksheet. Spearman’s rank method was used to observe the correlation between human posture and MSD. Result: 112 chosen subjects were involved. Human posture showed large correlation with MSD. This was calculated using alpha value 0.05 for the significance. Conclusion: There is a correlation between human posture and MSD among computer workers at Indonesian State Owned Enterprises in Surabaya.

Introduction: Infectious disease is still a common cause of illness and death in developing countries, such as Indonesia. One of the bacteria that causes infectious disease is Streptococcus pyogenes. Cacao fruit is a large commodity in Indonesia and has benefit for human. Cacao’s rind is known to contain several active compounds such as flavonoid and alkaloid that have antibacterial effect that can inhibit Streptococcus pyogenes growth. This research aims to evaluate the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of cacao rind ethanol extract in inhibiting Streptococcus pyogenes growth in vitro.  Methods: This research was a laboratory experimental study, testing antibacterial activity of cacao’s rind ethanol extract in inhibiting growth of bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes using dilution method in vitro to know the MIC and MBC result. Sample of bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes was obtained from Balai Besar Laboratorium, Surabaya. Sample of cacao’s rind ethanol extract was extracted at Balai Materia Medica, Batu.  Results: At the beginning this experiment was done to find the MIC and MBC of cacao’s rind ethanol extract against the growth of bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes, but the researcher can only find the MBC result, because the extract color is very dark, so the turbidity result of tubes P1 – P7 cannot be compared to control tube. From the results, the researcher draws a table showing how turbid and dark those tubes are. More (+) signs means more turbid or darker the tube is. From dilution test, the MBC of cacao’s rind ethanol extract against the growth of bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes is 12.5%. Conclusion: Cacao’s rind (Theobroma cacao L.) was quite effective in increasing the growth of bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes in vitro, the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) is 12.5%

В наши дни многие объекты подвержены рискам сейсмической активности либо естественной, в ходе землетрясений, природы, либо техногенной. Так, например, в зону повышенной сейсмической активности входят восточные регионы России, находящиеся в зоне так называемого Огненного Кольца, береговой зоны материков Евразия, Северная Америка, Южная Америка и Австралия, а также островов, опоясывающей Тихий океан. С учетом развития высокопроизводительных вычислительных систем, исследование возможностей использования более прецизионных методов расчета сейсмостойкости сооружений в результате природных и техногенных воздействий является актуальной фундаментальной научной проблемой, которой посвящена данная работа. Для расчета использовался сеточно-характеристический метод. С его помощью вычислялись волновые поля вектора скорости и тензора напряжений Коши. Затем с использованием критерия по главному напряжению вычислялись области разрушения многоэтажных бетонных конструкций. Разрушенные области в дальнейшем рассматривались как свободные границы внутри области интегрирования. В работе рассмотрены различные типы задания начального сейсмического воздействия, выполнено их сравнение по влиянию на локализацию областей разрушения и затрате вычислительных ресурсов. Также выполнено сравнение локализации рассчитанных областей разрушения многоэтажных зданий при уменьшении шага расчетной сетки по координатам и шага интегрирования по времени. Проанализирована зависимость локализации рассчитанных областей разрушения в зависимости от типа задания сейсмического воздействия, типа сейсмической волны, количества этажей в здании. Приведены данные о затрате вычислительных ресурсов для различных постановок задач: оперативной памяти, памяти на жестком диске, времени вычисления.
