Authors: Lioe Hanifah Nuryani , Nindita Diana Ayu , Kiyat Warsono El
Published: April 2020

Salty soy sauce subjected in this study is a variety of commercial soy products in Indonesia. Chromatographic profiles linked to taste dilution analysis of the soy sauce were analyzed by Sephadex G-15 gel filtration chromatography followed by RP-HPLC. The results showed that there were 4 umami fractions (Fractions I − IV) obtained by Sephadex G-15 separation. Chromatographic profiles at 254 nm could show the differentiation of the four fractions and then their RP-HPLC profiles were proven to be different from each other. Fraction III which contained 65% of the soy sauce dry matters, had the highest umami intensity with umami TD factor of 256, meanwhile, this fraction was tasted salty due to the salt contained in the soy sauce. Fraction III was dominated by the later peaks in the RP-HPLC chromatogram, which was more hydrophobic. The hydrophobic components were commonly tasted bitter, perhaps in the commercial salty soy sauce, the taste interaction between the umami and bitter components might have occurred.

Authors: Ritunga Imelda , Rambung Etha
Published: April 2020

Background: Reflection is needed by the doctor in interpreting his experience, realizing its limitations so that it will be lifelong learning. In medical learning, self reflection can motivate students to realize their limitations and learn better. The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences of students in reflection learning. Methods: the research method uses a qualitative type with the research subjects being 15 first-year medical students. Reflection is taught at the beginning of education and is practiced in innovation design courses by providing weekly writing self-reflection assignments. The experience of writing self reflection was explored through group interviews (FGD) and in-depth interviews. Open questions are given to students, the results of interviews are verbatim and coding. This study has obtained ethical clearance.Results: the results of the study were divided into 5 themes: perception, self-awareness, future improvement, rules, and other. Participants expressed pleasure in self-reflection, useful for self-reflection, and future improvement. Future improvements vary from no change to the change in perspective and even change in action, which is more disciplined. Rules for a minimum number of words in self-reflection assignments are things are not fun to participants and can make writing blindly. The frequency of writing self-reflection carried out every week is felt to burden the participants. Other draw on participants' statements regarding activities to write reflections that are felt to be useful as part of learning as a writer.Conclusion: learners' perceptions of reflection learning are fun and useful, but students complain about the rules for reflection assignments so design reflection should relevant and contextual.
Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos y pobreza. Nuevas incursiones a la luz del caso Hacienda Brasil Verde
Authors: Martinón Ruth , Wences Isabel
Published: April 2020

Desde los años noventa en el ámbito internacional se han sucedido los intentos de aunar la lucha contra la pobreza y la defensa de los derechos humanos. Hasta ahora, ello se ha llevado a cabo a través de instrumentos programáticos o de soft law. La Corte IDH dio un giro a esta tendencia con su fallo del caso Trabajadores de la Hacienda Brasil Verde vs. Brasil donde concreta la juridificación del vínculo entre pobreza y derechos humanos. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es advertir sobre la envergadura que, en el marco de los esfuerzos por erradicar la pobreza, supone este paso. Para conseguir dicho objetivo, analizamos cómo el Tribunal Interamericano realiza esa construcción que culmina determinando la responsabilidad estatal por violación de derechos humanos en relación al principio de igualdad y no discriminación por posición económica, junto a las consecuencias de dicho razonamiento, especialmente para la identificación de nuevos estándares judiciales en materia de lucha contra la pobreza.
Ensayo sobre algunas implicaciones de la política exterior America First en el multilateralismo

Published: April 2020

Estados Unidos de América fue el principal impulsor del multilateralismo y del desarrollo del derecho internacional durante el siglo XX, el ejemplo por excelencia, fue la creación del Sistema de las Naciones Unidas. Sin embargo, la llegada de Donald Trump a la presidencia ha revelado algunos desafíos para el ámbito multilateral. Si bien las acciones recientes de política exterior de su administración ponen a prueba el sistema de gobernanza global, se ha demostrado que la acción multilateral es todavía la mejor manera de enfrentar los grandes problemas de la humanidad. Frente a esos desafíos, diversos temas de la agenda internacional y normas jurídicas deberán demostrar su resiliencia para enfrentar el alejamiento de Estados Unidos de América al sistema del que fue arquitecto.
Trump’s Foreign Policy and International Trade Law
Authors: Petrova Georgieva Virdzhiniya
Published: April 2020

Donald Trump ha orientado su política exterior hacia dos objetivos económicos principales en materia de comercio exterior. El primero consiste en luchar por un fair trade que reequilibre la relación comercial de Estados Unidos con sus socios comerciales, a través de una lógica que privilegie a los intereses estadounidenses por encima de la búsqueda de intereses comunes. En virtud del segundo objetivo se busca frenar la des-localización de actividades productivas de Estados Unidos para impulsar la creación de nuevos empleos y estimular el crecimiento de la economía interna. Estos dos objetivos de la política exterior de Trump han sacudido profundamente los pilares más fundamentales del derecho del comercio internacional: un conjunto normativo, construido después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial para dar sustento jurídico a las relaciones económicas del nuevo orden internacional liberal. En primer lugar, el neoproteccionismo de la política exterior de Trump constituye una contestación frontal del libre comercio como paradigma dominante del derecho del comercio internacional. En segundo lugar, el confirmado bilateralismo de dicha política es el exacto opuesto del multilateralismo, promovido por las normas e instituciones de la regulación jurídica del comercio internacional. Tanto el neoproteccionismo como el bilateralismo manifiestan la existencia de una crisis más profunda de la cooperación entre Estados en el orden internacional liberal de la posguerra.

Cork Fish (Channa striata) is a freshwater fish that was spread throughout most of Indonesia and it contains albumin that was beneficial to the human body. Albumin was easily dissolved in water during the cooking process both boiled and steamed. This study aims to determine the influence of boiling and steaming times at 100oC against albumin content of cork fish that lost and left in fish meat. The times of boiling and steaming that was used to processing the fish were 10, 15, and 20 minutes. The albumin concentration that lost and left in for the boiling and the steaming process was determined by the biuret test that used a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at albumin maximum wavelength of 530 nm. The results showed that albumin content that lost for 10 minutes boiling process (62 mg/10g) was smaller than the other boiling times and albumin left in fish meat was 164 mg/10g. The same result was also obtained at 10 minutes steaming process which results left in albumin content of 167 mg/10g and lost albumin of 62 mg/10g. The albumin content that lost or dissolved in water for the steaming process was smaller than the boiling process, therefore the steaming process is more efficient than the boiling process at cork fish processing.

Mladi levi Festival, Reflections and Memories
Authors: Koprivšek Nevenska
Published: April 2020

I have always been a little suspicious about people who have never doubted themselves. Perhaps this is because, while I am still in the whirlwind of joy and enthusiasm over a new project, I am already picturing the worst-case scenarios. This state of uncertainty normally lasts until I find something that answers each doubt and at this point I begin to see the idea as realisable. However, even I was not counting on the large number of doubters I met before the beginning of the first Mladi levi Festival in Ljubljana. “Another fes- tival?” I was asked, “But why? Don’t we already have enough? Who needs festivals and who actually attends them? After two or three years they all vanish into thin air anyway...” Not very encouraging. ”There is too much of everything already... and in the middle of the summer? You’re nuts! Nobody’s there then, the theatres are all closed...” “Well, that’s exactly why”, I answered, “because the theatres are all closed, wouldn’t that be the best opportunity? The venues are available and we can maybe borrow equipment; people get back from holidays and want to have somewhere to go, they want to spend some quality time socialising... Our festival will be different, open and not hermetic at all.” They just doubtfully shook their heads. It was by a lucky coincidence that at that time I met Irena Štaudohar. She had just left her editor’s job at Maska magazine, as I had just left the Glej Theatre. We were both disappointed by the cynicism of the Slovenia arts scene and the politics, but at the same time full of ideas about what the theatre, what a festival could be like – a space without any bad feelings, where people meet, share, learn, get to know other cultures, other landscapes, other visions, where there is room for debate, experiment and development. An open space, where making mistakes is a legitimate possibility. After all, errors pave the way to changing ourselves and the world, right? Are we capable of admitting to ourselves that as a society we have gambled and lost? Or of finding new ways of tackling the challenges of the crisis?

Published: April 2020

A green building focuses on increasing the efficiency of resources in term of energy, water and materials, while at the same time reducing the building impact on human health and the environment during the building’s lifecycle. Green buildings are significant in operational savings and are able to increase workplace productivity. There are 909 registered green buildings project up to September 2019 in Malaysia. However, previous research indicated the success of green building in term of its performance is still in doubt and very much speculative. In fact, there have also been reports saying that green building fails to perform appropriately. Unfortunately, up until now there are no standard performance criteria and performance parameters to measure the green building performance in Malaysia. Thus, the aim of this paper is to present the findings of the research which identify the performance criteria and parameters of Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) for green building in Malaysia. Fifteen (15) performance criteria and thirty-five (35) parameters were identified from the literature and validated by green building experts by using Content Validity Index. The finding identifies eleven (11) performance criteria and twenty-six (26) performance criteria to measure the green building performance through POE. The findings from this research may turn as a new knowledge which identifies the performance criteria and performance parameters to conduct Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) for green building in Malaysia. Thus, government or private developer can use these performance criteria and performance parameters to measure their green building performance. This research was conducted within the context of Malaysian construction industry, thus, it cannot be generalised to other countries.

Published: April 2020

Conserving the traditional Malay Kutai houses as our building heritage is important before they perish due to neglection. For maintenance purposes, the palm leave roofs are replaced with more durable materials such as zinc or onduline roof sheets. Replacing the building materials without understanding their properties could cause harmful effect on the indoor thermal comfort. Previously, there is minimal quantitative research done to prove that the traditional Malay house is thermally comfortable. Thus, this research intends to measure the thermal comfort parameters of Kutai house and analyse the result using a bioclimatic chart. The results revealed that the average thermal comfort conditions of the Kutai houses are within the boundaries of comfort zone as recommended for natural ventilated buildings despite using zinc roof.

Authors: Al-Harthi Sobhi S.
Published: April 2020

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between learned helplessness and social skills among students with learning disabilities at primary stage in Taif. A random sample of 149 male and 49 female grades four and five students with learning disabilities in reading and mathematics was selected. The researcher used two scales the learned helplessness scale by (Sorrenti, Filippello, Costa and Buzzai, 2014) and the social skills scale by (Danielson and  Phelps, 2003). The results showed that females of learned helplessness (20.40%) were higher than males (12.08%). The results revealed that there is a statistically significant negative correlation between learned helplessness and social skills. There are statistically significant differences between males and females in the degrees of learned helplessness in favor of females. Also, the results show that there are statistically significant differences between males and females in the scores of social skills in favor of females. However, there are no statistically significant differences between those with reading disabilities and those with mathematics learning disabilities in the degrees of learning helplessness. Moreover, there are no differences between those with reading disabilities and those with mathematics learning disabilities in the second dimension of the social skills scale (acceptance and admiration of others) and the third dimension (social naivety). However, there are differences between those with reading disabilities and those with mathematics learning disabilities in the first dimensions and the total score of the social skills scale in favor of those with mathematics learning disabilities.

Published: April 2020

Field studies were conducted under conventional tillage from 2014 through the 2018 growing seasons in central, south-central, and the Panhandle regions of Texas to determine corn tolerance and weed efficacy of the four-way premix of atrazine plus bicyclopyrone plus mesotrione plus S-metolachlor (hereafter referred to as ABMS).  No corn injury was noted at any location with any ABMS dose or application timing.  Preemergence (PRE) applications of ABMS at 2.41 kg ha-1 controlled Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Wats.) 73 to 100% while smellmelon (Cucumis melo L.) control was 100%.  Annual sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) control with ABMS at 2.41 kg ha-1 was 86% while a split application applied PRE followed by a postemergence (POST) application provided 99% control.  Texas millet (Urochloa texana Buckl.) control with ABMS applied PRE ranged from 12 to 35% while broadleaf signalgrass (Brachiaria platyphylla [Griseb.] Nash) control was 100%.  Browntop panicum [Urochloa fasciculate (Sw.) R. Webster] control with a PRE application of ABMS at 2.41 kg ai ha-1 was < 82% while jungle rice [Echinochloa colona (L.) Link] control was 98%.  Control of a kochia (Kochia scoparia L.) with PRE applications of ABMS at 2.41 kg ha-1 was 95% while the split rate of 1.2 kg ha-1 applied PRE and POST provided 99% control.  Corn yields were variable but in most instances all herbicide treatments improved yield over the untreated check.  Excellent control of broadleaf weeds was observed with ABMS; however, annual grass control can be variable, especially with large-seeded annual grasses such as Texas millet.

Authors: Bratovcic Amra
Published: April 2020

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of temperature extraction on the potassium (K) and calcium (Ca) contents in orange and lemon peel extracts. The extractions were done at 62 ºC and 92 °C for 15 minutes and atmospheric pressure in distilled water. The fruit peel content in the extraction mixture was 5 % (w/v) in all samples. Calcium (Ca) and potassium (K) concentrations have been determined by flame photometric method. This research has revealed that by increasing the temperature of extraction, in particular, the concentration of Ca and K concentrations increased as applied extraction temperatures increased. The concentration of potassium is higher than the concentration of calcium in orange and lemon extracts, respectively. The concentration of K was 308 mg/l at 62 ºC and 361 mg/l at 92 ºC in lemon extracts, while in orange extracts the concentration of K was 476 mg/l at 62 ºC and 483 mg/l at 92 ºC. The concentration of Ca was 70.8 mg/l at 62 ºC and 71.9 mg/l at 92 ºC in lemon extracts, while in orange extracts the concentration of Ca was 91 mg/l at 62 ºC and 93.6 mg/l at 92 ºC. These results confirm that both citrus could be a very valuable source of potassium and calcium which are needed micronutrients to ensure the water and electrolyte balance and to build and maintain strong bones, proper function of muscles and nerves.
Sublime in the aesthetics of trauma
Authors: Fokeeva Mariia Petrovna
Published: April 2020

The subject of this article is the concept of sublime. The author examines which transformations has experiences the aesthetic theory of sublime since the XVIII century. In the context of aesthetics of trauma, sublime is a specific form of aesthetical experience that emerges in the context of encountering traumatic experience of the history, where the key concomitant affect is horror. The forms of sublime, associated with encountering the historical trauma, are immeasurable by their influence, as the scales of catastrophe cannot be assessed rationally, and the experience of historical violence discredits the possibility of subjective routine. Research methodology is structured on the philosophical-aesthetic approach. Which is based on analysis of the concepts of sublime and negative sublime. The author comes to the conclusion that sublime in the XX century experiences crisis related to reconsideration of the modernistic values. However, discipline associate with the aesthetic reconsideration of traumatic historical events – the aesthetics of trauma, rehabilitates the concept of sublime, because representation of the traumatic through referring to sublime, opens an opportunity to comprehend the traumatic experience and overcome it.
Techniques for Improving Ultrasound Visualization of Biopsy Markers in Axillary Lymph Nodes
Authors: Lee Christine , Zhou Chenyun , Hyde Brenda , Song Pengfei , Hangiandreou Nicholas
Published: April 2020

Objective:

Biopsy markers are often placed into biopsy-proven metastatic axillary lymph nodes to ensure later accurate node excision. Ultrasound is the preferred imaging modality in the axilla. However, sonographic identification of biopsy markers after neoadjuvant therapy can be challenging. This is due to poor conspicuity relative to surrounding parenchymal interfaces, treatment-related alteration of malignant morphology during neoadjuvant chemotherapy, or extrusion of the marker from the target. To the authors’ knowledge, the literature provides no recommendations for ultrasound scanning parameters that improve the detection of biopsy markers. The purpose of this manuscript is 3-fold: (1) To determine scanning parameters that improve sonographic conspicuity of biopsy markers in a phantom and cadaver model; (2) to implement these scanning parameters in the clinical setting; and (3) to provide strategies that might increase the likelihood of successful ultrasound detection of biopsy markers in breast imaging practices.

Materials and Methods:

An ex vivo study was performed using a phantom designed to simulate the heterogeneity of normal mammary or axillary soft tissues. A selection of available biopsy markers was deployed into this phantom and ultrasound (GE LOGIQ E9) was performed. Scanning parameters were adjusted to optimize marker conspicuity. For the cadaver study, the biopsy markers were deployed using ultrasound guidance into axillary lymph nodes of a female cadaver. Adjustments in transducer frequency, dynamic range, cross-beam (spatial compound imaging), beam steering, speckle reduction imaging, harmonic imaging, colorization, and speed of sound were evaluated. Settings that improved marker detection were used clinically for a year.

Results:

Sonographic scanning settings that improved biopsy marker conspicuity included increasing transducer frequency, decreasing dynamic range, setting cross-beam to medium hybrid, turning on beam steering, and setting speckle reduction imaging in the mid-range. There was no appreciable improvement with harmonic imaging, colorization, or speed of sound.

Conclusion:

On a currently available clinical ultrasound scanning system, ultrasound scanning parameters can be adjusted to improve the conspicuity of biopsy markers. Overall, optimization requires a balance between techniques that clinically increase contrast (dynamic range, harmonic imaging, and steering) and those that minimize graininess (spatial compound imaging, speckle reduction imaging, and steering).

Published: April 2020

Background:

Rosette-forming glioneuronal tumors (RGNTs) in the pineal region are rare. RGNTs have been described in the fourth ventricle, but rarely reported in other brain regions. Here, we report the radiological findings, surgical treatment, and short-term outcome of an RGNT found in the pineal region.

Case Description:

We present a case of a 22-year-old medical student with a 4-month history of headaches and diplopia. A previous magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed a mass in the pineal region, with heterogeneous contrast enhancement and hydrocephalus. Three months prior, an endoscopic biopsy and third ventriculocisternostomy were performed elsewhere; the diagnosis was neurocytoma Grade I, and radiotherapy was planned. The patient presented at our hospital for a second opinion, and we suggested surgical treatment. A near-total resection was performed in sitting position using a supracerebellar infratentorial microsurgical approach. The tumor was very soft and not well vascularized. Diplopia was initially worsened after the tumor was removed and relieved completely after 2 weeks. An 8-week follow-up examination revealed that the patient was free of symptoms. Histological analysis confirmed it was an RGNT.

Conclusion:

Maximal safe resection in pineal region RGNTs is a feasible and recommended treatment option.

To deliver a high quality and safe medicines, it is a must to certify the vendor according to the GMP requirement. This qualification is done to prevent the adverse events, prevent the recalls or serious illness or death due to the low standard quality of manufactured medicines. Vendor qualification is the process by which a vendor is assessed to determine, if it can provide the required goods or services to the standards that the purchasing company requires. This article explains about the detailed procedure for qualifying raw material vendors, packaging vendors and service providers. This also explains the vendor assessment and the reassessment. Vendor re-assessment must be carried out at least once a year for each packaging material and the raw material. The manufactured part number is used for tracking. Supply Chain Management team (SCM) should request the QA department to generate Manufacturing Part Number. Explained about the vendor rating. The vendor must be disqualified if the batch will not adhere to specification of critical tests. For further evaluation and investigation, vendor must be once again qualified. Vendor must be informed regarding the removal and the reasons must be explained clearly. Vendor Relationship Management (SRM), is systematic planning and managing of all interactions with suppliers to maximize its value.

Published: April 2020

This research aims at studying the integration of ICT in mathematics teaching at the junior and high school levels. An experiment was conducted with a sample of 120 Moroccan teachers from Marrakech-Safi, Casablanca-Settat, Rabat-Salé-Kenitra and Fes-Meknes regions. The teachers responded to a questionnaire of 31 modalities, which deal with the knowledge of the institutional aspects of ICT integration in teaching, educational planning, as well as some didactic aspects in the context of ICT integration. The analysis of the answers was conducted following a multidimensional approach. Thus, thanks to a Factorial Analysis of Multiple Correspondence (FAMC), we were able to identify the most discriminating factors in the integration of ICT and their order of importance. The results of this analysis highlight two factorial axes cumulating an absolute inertia of 76%, respectively representing « Successes and failures of ICT integration in teaching mathematics » and « The success factors in ICT integration».

This study presents the finding of a survey on the safety management in shipyard operation of class C and D in Peninsular Malaysia as registered with Ministry of Finance Malaysia. Shipyard operation is considered a hazardous job. Most of the cases were due to fall from height, fire and explosion. The accidents were due to crane collapsed and explosion during welding works inside a hull of a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) carrier. The research aims to study the Health, Safety and Environment Management System (HSEMS) of shipyard operations in Malaysia particularly in Class C and Class D. This study was conducted using a survey method following the Glenn D’s equation. The findings of this study shown that almost all the shipyards had HSEMS in placed but some were incomplete. Accidents still happen in the Malaysian shipyard industry from time to time. Nearly 10% of shipyards did not have clear HSE Policy due to low priority given to HSE matters.
MANAGING UNCERTAINTIES VIA AN EMBEDDED FORESIGHT REGIMEN IN THE NATIONAL POLICY PLANNINGARCHITECTURE
Authors: Ariffin AiniSuzana , Maavak Mathew , Miles Ian
Published: April 2020

National policy planning can be a relatively tortuous process due to rising cross-sectoral complexities and bloated government structures. It is also becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the relevance of national policies in a rapidly-changing global environment. This paper posits that long-term policy relevance can be sustained by embedding a foresight regimen throughout the national policy planning architecture. The proposed foresight template is predicated to enable the monitoring of phases and milestones in the national policy process and thereby be continually adaptable in sync with evolving external developments and internal needs. Malaysia’s automobile industry formed a partial backdrop during the development of this concept paper.

Subak is a unique irrigation system in Bali that is based on Hinduism and the philosophy of tri hita karana that consists of elements of parhyangan, pawongan, and palemahan, are three balances and harmonies that are still maintained for sustainability. This study aims to identify changes in four dimensions of subak, which may threaten its sustainability in the city of Denpasar; identify the most sensitive dimension that influences the sustainability of subak in Denpasar; as well as formulate a development model of subak that will ensure its sustainability in Denpasar. Based on MDS analysis on the changes of different dimensions of subak that threaten its sustainability in Denpasar, it is known that the “dimension of mindset” is the most sensitive in processes of sustainability of subak. Sensitivity in this context relates to the awareness of the importance of farmer's mindset as a variable to ensure the sustainability of subak, considering the mindset of farmers will determine the success of sustainability processes on existing land management. Following that result, ISM analysis was done to formulate a development model for the sustainability of subak.
