AbstractThe process of propagation of short probe pulses of electromagnetically induced transparency has been analyzed theoretically in the case of elliptically polarized control radiation. As a model of a resonant medium, a Λ scheme of quantum transitions between the $$^{3}{{P}_{0}}$$ , $$^{3}P_{1}^{0}$$ , and $$^{3}{{P}_{2}}$$ degenerate levels of the ^208Pb isotope has been used. The situation in which the probe radiation is rather weak compared to the control radiation has been examined. In this case, the field of the probe pulse can be represented as a sum of the fields of two elliptically polarized pulses that propagate in the medium independently of one another without changing their polarization state, which makes it possible to interpret them as nonstationary normal modes. Numerical simulation has shown that the structure of normal modes depends on the ratio of the width of the spectrum of the input probe pulse to the Doppler frequency broadening of the quantum transition that is resonant to the probe field. If this ratio is small, each mode in the medium is a single pulse similar to the input probe pulse. Under these conditions, the propagation of each normal mode in the medium can be fairly well characterized by the group velocity depending on the intensity and the state of polarization of the control radiation. As this ratio increases, normal modes in the medium initially acquire the shape of a regular decaying train of pulses, and then their structure becomes chaotic. The described evolution is accompanied by an increase in the energy absorption of the probe radiation by the medium and by a significant deterioration in the applicability of the notion of group velocity for describing the propagation process of normal modes.
CSDP: A Balancing Strategy against the United States?
Authors: Wang Yingqin
Published: March 2019

In the aftermath of the Second World War, European integration progressed rapidly. Despite economic performance, the European community is far from playing a major role in security and defense. The catalyst for a European defense policy is the war in Yugoslavia, which shows that Europeans are dependent on Americans. Thus, the EU has the CSDP and has conducted many military and civilian operations. Yet a new wave of academic studies, launched by proponents of American neorealism, argues that the EU is engaged in an attempt to “balance” the US by exploiting the CSDP. By studying European history in terms of security, we find that the balancing theory can not be justified.
AN ANALYSIS OF THE STRATEGIES USED IN TRANSLATING IDIOMS IN INDONESIA INTO ENGLISH FOUND IN INDONESIAN LEGENDS
Authors: Wicaksono Donny Bhaskara , Wahyuni Erly
Published: March 2019

In this global era, due to the growth of science, information, technology, and other people needs, translation becomes necessary in rendering information between languages. However, the process of translating is not as simple as switching the meaning of word for word based on the literal context.Idioms are one of the most problematical components of language. Idioms cannot be easily translated because of their unpredictable meaning and grammar. The purpose of this study is to find out; (1) the idiomatic expressions which are found in Indonesian Legends, (2) the meaning of the idiomatic expressions found in Indonesian Legends, and (3) the various strategies which are used in translating idioms in Indonesia into English found in Indonesian Legends.The descriptive qualitative research design, in the form of document analysis, was employed in this study. The instruments to collect the data were documents and expert opinion. Moreover, the documents consisted of the Bahasa Indonesia (Source Text) and English (Target Text) translation versions of five Indonesian Legends, namely; Batu Kuwung, Batu Menangis, Gunung Merapi, Tangkuban Perahu and Candi Prambanan. This study revealed that idiomatic expression translation strategy by paraphrasingwas the most dominant strategy used by the translator in translating the idiomatic expressions found in five Indonesian Legends (eleven out of eighteen cases). Meanwhile, the second most common strategy was translating by omission (six out of eighteen cases).  The last was the strategy of using an idiom of similar meaning and form which only one out of eighteen cases. Thus, it can be concluded that the translator only applied three strategies out of the main five strategies of translating idiomatic expression suggested by Baker.

Authors: Perdani Ambika Putri , Hartono Hartono
Published: March 2019

This study was focused on the implementation of multilingualism used by UMM buddies along with the problems and the solutions. The purposes of this study were: (1) to describe the implementation of multilingualism used by UMM Buddies in conducting interview at the Learning Express Program, (2) to uncover the problems faced by UMM Buddies in using multilingualism in conducting interview at the Learning Express Program, and (3) to investigate the ways UMM Buddies solved the problems in using multilingualism when conducting interview at the Learning Express program. The researcher described the result through interpretative and narrative description. Therefore, qualitative research design suited this study. There were two techniques to collect the data. They were observation and interview in which observation checklist and interview guide were employed as the instruments. The research findings showed that, in conducting interview at the Learning Express program, UMM buddies occupied multilingualism. They spoke English, Javanese (Ngoko/Krama) and Bahasa Indonesia. UMM buddies who implemented the multilingualism during the interview section were UMM Buddies I, as the interviewer, UMM Buddies II, as the note taker, and UMM Buddies III as the interpreter during the interview session.There were some problems faced by UMM buddies, namely: difficulty in the language selection and the fallacy in language pronunciation. The strategies applied in solving the difficulties in the language selection were by means of body language, Google Translate, and simple vocabulary use to convey the real meaning. Besides, the cooperative synergy of each role also helped to solve this problem and saved the interview process. Moreover, in dealing with the problem of the fallacy in language pronunciation, UMM buddies tried to get acquitted and began to develop their multilingual abilities through the improvement of their speaking habit

Authors: Masyhud Masyhud
Published: March 2019

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is an exciting movement in language education.  It widens the opportunities for English teachers and researchers to explore the curriculum, course planning and implementation of ESP education. However, there are several problems in teaching ESP. one of the most problems is students’ engagement in the class because they felt learning English unrelated to their major. Therefore, this research concerns to investigate the implementation of Lesson Study in Teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP) to sharpen the students’ critical thinking. Lesson Study has been a precious motion for recent decades, principally for the sake of teachers’ professional development and students’ critical thinking. This research involved 5 ESP teachers. They acquired equal chance to be a teacher model and observer in the LS process. This research conducted in 2 cycles with three phases; Plan, Do, and See. This research employed observation and document analysis as the tools to collect the data. This Lesson study was implemented into two stages, planning and implementation. However, it can encourage the students to participate actively along the learning process because cycle 1 can provide student’s participation 90% and in cycle 2, 95% of students involved in the learning process.
Psychological resilience and work alienation affect perceived overqualification and job crafting
Authors: Wang Zhe , Lu Hongxu , Wang Xiaoxuan
Published: March 2019

The psychological mechanism of the boundary conditions between overqualification and employees’ behavior remain unclear. Therefore, we conducted a survey with 276 employees by modifying a previously validated instrument to assess perceived overqualification, job crafting, work
alienation, and psychological resilience. Results of correlation analysis of the collected data revealed that perceived overqualification had a negative impact on job crafting (i.e., employees’ physical and cognitive changes within the task or relational boundaries of work), but a positive
impact on work alienation, and that work alienation played a mediating role between perceived overqualification and job crafting. Additionally, the negative effect of overqualification on job crafting that was mediated by work alienation was buffered when psychological resilience was high
rather than low. Theoretical and practical implications about management of qualified employees in organizations are discussed.
The relationship between contingent self-esteem and trait self-esteem
Authors: Kang Youngjin
Published: March 2019

Psychology researchers have suggested that in addition to its level, self-esteem is also manifested by other psychological components. One such component is contingency, which is the degree to which one’s feeling of self-worth is influenced by evaluative standards. I investigated
how contingent self-esteem is related to trait self-esteem using Paradise and Kernis’ Contingent Self-Esteem Scale and Rosenberg’s (trait) Self-Esteem Scale. Data collected from classroom (N = 898) and Internet (N = 655) groups rendered a significant and consistent negative relationship
between contingent and trait self-esteem. In addition, higher contingent self-esteem individuals tend to have a greater variability with their trait self-esteem levels; as individuals age, their contingent self-esteem tends to decrease; psychological sensitivity to evaluations is the contingent
component most strongly associated with the level of self-esteem; and some evaluative resources, such as appearance, performance, and relationship, can be used by some individuals to boost their self-esteem. Future researchers should consider that the contingency of self-esteem is the psychological
component not only related to the stability of self-esteem but also to the level of self-esteem.
Gender-dependent difference in the relationship between pain aspects and pain catastrophizing
Authors: Son ChongNak , Son Daegu , An Jeongwi , Cho Sungkun
Published: March 2019

We examined the gender dependence of the relationships between sensory and affective pain and pain catastrophizing. Study participants were 170 people who were receiving treatment for chronic pain at a university pain clinic in Daegu, Republic of Korea. For men, higher levels of sensory
pain were associated with greater pain catastrophizing at low and average levels of affective pain, but not at a high level of affective pain. For women, higher levels of affective pain were associated with greater pain catastrophizing, regardless of the degree of sensory pain. These results
suggest that sensory pain, affective pain, and their combination may have gender-dependent effects on pain catastrophizing in people who are experiencing chronic pain. Most importantly, affective pain appears to play a major role in pain catastrophizing, regardless of gender and, for men,
the role of sensory pain in pain catastrophizing requires consideration.
The approaches of failed medical students to academic failure: a qualitative research
Authors: KUCUKERDEM Halime Seda , KOC Esra Meltem , CAN Huseyin
Published: March 2019

Introduction: There are many
quantitative studies on academic failure in the medical faculty. This study
aimed to investigate the opinions of students who were having an academic
failure in the medical school and to reveal the underlying causes.Methods: The study was designed as a qualitative research. The population of
the study comprised of students failed while they were studying at the İzmir
Katip Çelebi University Faculty of Medicine during the 2014- 2015 academic
year. Failure was defined as the repetition of a study year. Thus, phase 4 and
5 students were not included. The study sample was composed of medical students
who failed at phase 1, 2, or 3, chosen by quota sampling. Data was collected
using semi-structured questions asked by face-to-face interviews. The
interviews were done between April-May 2016. A personal information form was
used to collect data related to the students’ socio-demographic, individual,
and academic characteristics. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis.Results: After the interpretation was made by four researchers, the following
themes were created: Opinions and beliefs of the students about the effects of
faculty on academic success; attitudes, beliefs, and opinions on study
behaviors; feelings and believes on becoming a medical doctor; and views about
the impact of the social environment. It was determined that the most
frequently mentioned factor by the students as the leading cause of their
repetition of the class was an insufficient academic effort. Other remarkable
topics were; students not benefiting from counseling services and not attending
the lectures of instructors of whom they didn’t like the way of presentation
and lecturing.

Conclusions: Introducing students about advisory services given by lecturers and
providing advice from their experienced advisors especially to the students who
repeat classes, can contribute to academic success. Training of lecturers on
effective lecturing can contribute to academic achievement by increasing the
attendance of students. Giving due importance to introduce the occupation from
the early days of education can improve the motivation to learning.
The effect of biochar on the physiological, morphological and anatomical characteristics of mung bean roots after exposure to salt stress
Authors: Nikpour-Rashidabad Neda , Tavasolee Alireza , Torabian Shahram , Farhangi-Abriz Salar
Published: March 2019

To investigate the changes in the anatomical and physiological characteristics of mung bean roots in response to biochar treatment during salt stress, a pot experiment was conducted. Mung bean plants were subjected to three biochar concentrations (0, 50 and 100 g kg-1 soil) and three salinity treatments (0, 5 and 10 dSm-1 NaCl). Salinity decreased root growth, vascular cylinder (VC) and cortical parenchyma (CP) areas, affecting the VC/CP ratio, shoot dry weight, the relative water content (RWC) of roots and leaves, and the root indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) content. It increased specific root length, the shoot/root ratio and root abscisic acid (ABA), and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) contents. Plant growth, RWC, the shoot/root ratio, specific root length, total root area, VC and CP areas, and the IAA/ABA and IAA/ACC ratios were increased by biochar under saline media. Biochar improved xylem structure, the plant growth regulator IAA, and decreased stress hormones, ABA and ACC, which accelerate plant senescence, consequently increasing mung bean growth under salt stress.
Evaluation of the diagnostic utility of the new clinical case definition of pertussis - experience from sentinel and hospital-based pertussis surveillance
Authors: Ristic Mioljub , Stojanovic Vesna , Petrovic Vladimir , Heininger Ulrich
Published: March 2019

Introduction/Objective. Global surveillance systems use different clinical case definitions of pertussis. The aim of this study was to identify sign and symptom combinations with best relation with laboratory confirmed pertussis. Methods. A one-year prospective observational study, proposed by the Global Pertussis Initiative (GPI) for three age groups (0?3 months, four months to nine years, and ? 10 years) was performed in Novi Sad to evaluate the performance of the clinical case definition of pertussis. Laboratory confirmation of B. pertussis infection was obtained using the DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or ELISA serology tests. Results. From October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2014, 103 (32.3%) out of 319 participants with suspected pertussis had laboratory-confirmed pertussis. Combined whooping, post-tussive emesis, and worsening of symptoms at night was the best predictor of pertussis in outpatients aged four months to nine years (positive likelihood ratio (LR+) 11.6), while among inpatients of the same age group it was apnoea (LR+ 13.5). The LR+ in outpatients aged ?10 years for combinations of apnoea and post-tussive emesis, or a combination of whooping and sweating episodes between paroxysms and post-tussive emesis was 16.8, while among in-patients LR+ was < 2.3 for all combinations in the same age group. Conclusions. The GPI case definitions for pertussis are good predictors for laboratory-confirmed pertussis and are useful for the purpose of pertussis surveillance.

Authors: Moylan Heather B. , Carrico Caroline K. , Lindauer Steven J. , Tüfekçi Eser
Published: March 2019

Objectives:

To investigate the reliability and accuracy of a monitoring system in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with a rapid maxillary expander. Specifically, the amount of tooth movement calculated by the software was compared with the actual measurements taken on plaster models obtained during an in-office visit.

Materials and Methods:

Patients took intraoral video scans using the monitoring software's smartphone application (Dental Monitoring, Paris, France), immediately followed by impressions for plaster models. Intercanine and intermolar width measurements were calculated by the software and compared with those made on the plaster models. Data were analyzed using two one-sided t-tests for equivalence with equivalence bounds of ±0.5 mm. The significance level was set at .05.

Results:

Thirty sets of measurements were compared. The intercanine and intermolar measurement differences were on average 0.17 mm and −0.02 mm, respectively, and were deemed equivalent.

Conclusions:

The monitoring software seems to provide an accurate assessment of linear tooth movements.
Effect of Argon Plasma Surface Treatment on Bond Strength of Resin Composite Repair
Authors: Ayres APA , Hirata R , Fronza BM , Lopes BB , Ambrosano GMB , Giannini M
Published: March 2019

Objectives:

This study evaluated the effect of argon plasma treatment (PLA) and its combination with sandblasting (SAN), silanization (SIL), and hydrophobic bonding resin (HBR) application on the micro-shear bond strength of water-aged restorative resin composite to a newly placed composite, simulating restoration repair.

Methods and Materials:

Forty-five light-cured composite plates (20-mm long × 20-mm wide × 4-mm thick) were fabricated using a hybrid composite and stored at 37°C in distilled water for six months. The aged composite surfaces were treated according to the following experimental groups, varying both treatment and order of application: 1) SAN + SIL + HBR (control), 2) SAN + PLA for 30 seconds + SIL + HBR, 3) SAN + SIL + PLA + HBR, 4) PLA + SIL + HBR, 5) PLA + SIL, 6) PLA + HBR, 7) SIL + PLA + HBR, 8) SIL + PLA, and 9) PLA. After the surface treatments, four fresh resin composite cylinders (1.5-mm high × 1.5-mm diameter) of the same composite were built on each aged composite surface using a silicone mold. After water storage for 24 hours or one year, the specimens were submitted to shear bond strength testing. Data were statistically analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test (5%).

Results:

Groups 1, 2, and 4 presented significantly higher bond strength means at 24 hours, although group 4 did not differ from group 7. Groups 5, 8, and 9 demonstrated significantly lower means than the other groups. Even though groups 1 and 2 had a significant bond strength reduction after 1 year, they still demonstrated higher bond strength at one year of storage.

Conclusions:

While PLA application combined with surface treatment methods demonstrated high bond strength results, this treatment alone was not as beneficial as other methods that included SAN, SIL and HBR.

Evaluasi Konsumen di "RM. Pak Kardi" Pemalang dengan Analisis Diskriminan
Authors: Susanto Tuis , Suranto Suranto , Djunaidi Much
Published: March 2019

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan yang siqnifikan dalam variabel dependen (Y) yang meliputi konsumen sering Beli (YO), Cukup (Y I) dan Jarang Beli (Y2), serta bertujuan mengetahui perilaku konsumen yang benar-benar berbeda, perbedaan dalam  arti perilaku   mereka  sering  membeli, cukup dan jarang membeli. Metode analisis  yang digunakan adalah dengan Wilk's Lambda, Pairwise, F test. Canonical  corellation,   untuk  mencari ada dan tidak perbedaan antar group variabel dependen dan  menginterpretasikan     berdasarkan function at group centroid untuk mengetahui variabel independen mana yang   menjadi  faktor diskriminannya. Hasil yang didapat dari penelitian ini adalah  bahwa  variabel  menu  merupakan faktor pembeda (diskriminan).  Artinya konsumen grup (sering  beli,  cukup  dan jarang   beli)  tidak terpengaruh   dengan  usia,  harga,  pendapatan,   dan pelayanan  yang  diberikan oleh RM. Pak Kardi ditunjukkan dengan tanda (+) padafunction I. Jadi  konsumen  yang  membeli  di RM. Pak  Kardi adalah  mereka  yang  benar-benar   menyukai menu  (masakan  khas kepiting) RM. Pak Kardi.  Jarak antara  grup  Sering  Beli  dengan grup  Jarang   Beli  adalah yang  terbesar, yakni 7,350. Sedangkan jarak   terkecil   adalah antara grup  Cukup  dengan  grup  Jarang   Beli  (0.522). Dengan demikian dapat  dikatakan   bahwa  Konsumen   di grup  Sering  Beli paling berbeda  selera  Menu  masakannya. Sebaliknya   Menu yang  disukai  oleh  konsumen di RM. Pak Kardi yang termasuk konsumen Cukup mempunyai perbedaan yang  kecil dengan  mereka  yang jarang membeli
The Improvement of Communication and Mathematical Disposition Abilities through Discovery Learning Model in Junior High School
Authors: Dina Zinatun Hayati , Ikhsan M , Hajidin Hajidin
Published: March 2019

The purpose of this study was to determine the improvement of students' mathematical communication and disposition abilities taught with discovery learning models. This study us quantitative approach with the type of experimental research and the research design us pretest and posttest design type experiments. The sample was chosen randomly from two classes of 7th grade in one of public junior high school in Sigli, Aceh. The research instrument used was mathematical communication ability test and mathematical disposition questionnaire. The data analysis of students' communication and disposition ability was done by two-way ANAVA test at a significant level of 0.05. The results showed that the improvement of students' mathematical communication and disposition skills taught with discovery learning models was better than those taught with conventional approaches. Furthermore, there was no interaction between discovery learning model and the level of students towards improving communication skills and mathematical dispositions. Therefore, the mathematics teachers can implement discovery learning models in learning to build the next polyhedron. Future researchers should conduct research at other schools in order to improve students' mathematical communication skills in mathematics learning

What Influences the Choice Between Private Car and Public Transport for Shopping Trips? Impact of Socio-economic and Built Environment Factors
Authors: LI Jing , LO Kevin , GUO Meng
Published: March 2019

Shifting toward sustainable daily travel will play a significant role in the future of sustainable development and the lowering of carbon emissions. This study provides an in-depth comparison of transport mode choice and corresponding CO2 emissions between private cars and public transport used for shopping trips based on individual data from a travel survey conducted in Shenyang, China. The analysis found that bus travel accounted for the majority of motorized transportation. Public transport users were closely distributed along the bus or metro lines, and aggregated private car users were mainly clustered within the second circumferential road. Furthermore, average per trip emissions for private car travel were 8-fold that of public transport. Binary logistic regression modeling was employed to examine factors that were related to the choice between private car and public transport, and the results indicated that car ownership and gender were the most important factors in explaining the preference of car driving. Age and per capita monthly income were negatively correlated with car driving. In addition, there were also negative impacts associated to the built environment factors of access to the closest metro stations and the number of bus stops near the residence on car driving. This study is vital to formulate more effective transportation policy measures in the future development for a sustainable low-carbon city.

Clinical hypnosis and female sexual dysfunction
Authors: Starc Andrej
Published: March 2019

Background: Female sexual function comprises variable and multi-layered conditions that incorporate complex interactions of physiological, psychological, and interpersonal components. Despite the progress in understanding the neurobiology of sexual response, the definition of normal sexual response in women remains unresolved. Normal female sexual
function differs from individual to individual and depends on the culture, ideology, beliefs, and other factors.

Methods: We used a case report, the purpose of which is to justify further investigation into the effectiveness of hypnosis for the treatment of cervical pain during penetration, as well as orgasm disorder.

Results: An orgasm was reached by masturbation performed on her by her partner, but without an orgasm by penile-vaginal penetration. The frequency of sexual intercourse has increased (3-4 times/week) in comparison to prior to therapy (once/ 2 months). Orgasm does not occur by self- and by partner masturbation every time, but sporadically; however, more frequently than before therapy. Success has been achieved with the orgasm by penile-vaginal penetration.

Conclusions: Hypnotherapy may be a promising co-intervention or intervention per se for both physical and psychological symptoms. The results of hypnotherapy demonstrate that symptoms were significantly alleviated and, consequently, the quality of
life improved. Symptoms of pain during sexual intercourse were not eliminated, but the patient had achieved significant control over those symptoms.
