Feed‐induced Variation in the Carotenoid Composition of Brine Shrimp
Authors: Huang Jin , Hui Bodi
Published: June 2020

Brine shrimp is a genus of aquatic crustacean, and is considered a dietary carotenoid resource by local residents from eastern China. In the present study, harvested brine shrimp were fed with the dried powders of tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum, as a lycopene source), marigold flower (Tagetes erecta L., as a lutein ester source), halophile green algae (Dunaliella salina, as free lutein and β‐carotene sources) and freshwater green algae (Haematococcus pluvialis, as an astaxanthin ester source). After 30 min of free feeding, the total carotenoid amount and CC of brine shrimp were assessed by UV–VIS and C18‐HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) every hour, respectively. Data from those investigations suggested that: (1) Both carotenes and xanthophylls from feeds were able to be accumulated in brine shrimp. (2) Hydrolysis took place with lutein and astaxanthin esters to form their free forms, (3) β‐Carotene was converted into a keto‐carotenoid, canthaxanthin. Those observations confirmed that a number of carotenoid molecular modifications had taken place in vivo. Although it was observed that a significant amount of carotenoids were lost during their accumulations in vivo, brine shrimp would still be considered as a species of bio‐encapsulated free carotenoid carrier, and therefore as a possible dietary carotenoid resource.

Authors: ORTA Lale
Published: June 2020

Çalışmamızda; modern futbol oyun kurallarının başlangıcından günümüze kadar olan değişimi, gelişimi ve dönüşümü incelenmektedir. 19. yüzyıldan 21. yüzyıla kadar uzanan süreçte futbolun bir numaralı spor olmasının temelinde oyun kurallarının şekillendirdiği değişimler yatmaktadır. 1863 yılında ilk kez oluşturulan kurallar, 1896 yılında basılı hale getirilerek tüm dünyada benzer şekilde yorumlanması ve uygulanması istenmiştir. Böylece tüm Dünyada kuralların uygulanması konusunda standart bir anlayışın sağlanması ve her ülkede geçerli olabilecek bir kurallar dizisi getirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Futbol oyun kurallarının uygulamada farklılık göstermesi, futbolu tartışılır kılan ve gündemde tutan en önemli özelliklerin başında gelmektedir. Futbol Oyun Kuralları, Uluslararası Futbol Birliği tarafından değiştirilirken, adalet, dürüstlük, saygı, sporcuların ve görevlilerin güvenliği, seyredenlerin keyif alması, futbolun değerinin artırılması, değer katması, verimlilik yaratılması ve teknoloji ile marjinal hataların azaltılarak adil sonuçların çoğaltılması gibi kriterler etkili olmaktadır. Paranın ön planda olduğu endüstriyel futbolda, “Futbol hatalar oyunudur” söylemi üzerinden hareket ederek hataları görmezden gelmeye çalışmak ve sonuçlarına katlanmak mümkün değildir. Bu nedenle, teknolojinin futbolun içine girmesine izin verilmiştir.

Published: June 2020

The pesticidal efficacy of four locally available leaves of botanicals like neem (Azadirachta indica), datura (Datura stramonium),  marigold (Tagetes erecta) and garlic (Allium sativum L.) tablet powders was assessed on pulse bettle (Callosobruchus chinensis L) through adult mortality and emergence, oviposition performance, seed damage, weight loss and germination  of chickpea (Cicer arietinum). The above test biopesticides were tested at three different rates (0.5 g, 1.0 g and 1.50 g powder/kg of chickpea seeds). All the tested powder showed significant effect on the above parameters. The highest adult mortality was recorded when chickpea seeds were treated with datura leaf powder at 1.50 g/kg, whereas marigold showed the least effect on adult mortality. The powders used in the experiment effectively controlled oviposition and adult emergence of pulse beetle. The lowest number of adult emergence was obtained from chickpea seeds treated with datura leaf powder at 1.50 g/kg. The highest weight loss was observed in control seeds followed by marigold leaf powder 0.5 g/kg gram seeds. Datura leaf powder treated seeds showed the lowest seed weight loss followed by neem, garlic and marigold. Plant powders had profound effect on seed germination. The highest germination was observed in treated seed with datura leaf powder at 1.50 g/kg and the lowest germination in control seed followed by marigold leaf powder at 1.5 g/kg treated seeds. The pesticidal effect on oviposition, adult mortality, adult emergence, and seed weight loss was directly proportional to leaf powder rates.

Published: June 2020

This study aimed at evaluating Yoruba Ecotype chicken genotypes of choice and traits of preference in the chicken by households in Ibadan, Nigeria. Data were obtained from a total of 120 households using structured interview schedule. Data were subjected to both descriptive statistics and Principal Components Analysis (PCA). Results revealed that most of the respondents were female; they raised the chicken for income generation and consumption. Most of the respondents preferred normal feather Yoruba Ecotype chicken to other genotypes. The result also revealed that traits of preference by most of the respondents were growth rate, body size, egg production, fertility, disease resistance, temperament, broodiness, mothering ability, hatchability, plumage colour and distribution, social-cultural value, survivability, fecundity, ease of sales and laying of large number of eggs. The Principal component 1 explained over 86.2% in household preferences for all the variables considered in the study. Based on the result of this study, it was concluded that most of the respondents’ preferred normal feather Yoruba Ecotype chicken compared to other genotypes like frizzle feather and naked neck. Traits of economic importance appeared to be consistent in preference for genotype of choice by respondents. The PCI value explained over 86.2% in household preferences for all the variables. Further research efforts on genotypes and traits of economic importance of Yoruba Ecotype chicken could facilitate future breeding programs geared towards increasing the chicken production and productivity among households and smallholders. There is also a need for effective breeding and conservation program to preserve economically important genetic resources of this chicken to prevent the risk of loss of the indigenous chicken genetic pool.

Coupled Irrigation–Drainage Management Practice for HYV Rice Cultivation with Saline-Irrigation Water: Evidence from Lysimeter Experiment
Authors: Rahman Mohammad Ashiqur , Ahmed Tanvir , Mojid Mohammad Abdul
Published: June 2020

Irrigation with saline water adversely affects rice production and degrades land productivity in the coastal zones of many countries in the world. This study aimed at developing a suitable irrigation management practice to reduce the harmful effects of salinity on rice production under saline water irrigation. An experiment in raise-bed lysimeters was set in a split-split-plot design with irrigation–drainage practice as the main factor, irrigation water salinity as the sub-factor and rice variety as sub-sub factor; main factor and sub-factor comprised four treatments and the sub-sub factor comprised three treatments, each with three replications. The treatments of the main factor were – T1: 2-5 cm continuous ponding, T2: continuous saturation, T3: changing irrigation water after 3 days of application by maintaining 2-5 cm ponding depth, and T4: changing irrigation water after 5 days of application by maintaining 2-5 cm ponding depth. The sub-factor comprised – SL1: fresh water as control, SL2: saline water of 6 dS m-1, SL3: saline water of 9 dS m-1, and SL4: saline water of 12 dS m-1. The sub-sub factor comprised three salt-tolerant rice varieties V1: Binadhan-8, V2: Binadhan-10, and V3: BRRI dhan-47. The irrigation–drainage practices T2 and T3 provided significantly (p£0.05) improved growth and yield attributes of the rice varieties under salinity water level SL3 and SL4 compared to T1 and T4 treatments. The treatment T3 maintained least exposure of the crop to high degree of salinity and produced satisfactory plant attributes by inhibiting the detrimental effects of salinity. Therefore, T3 is suggested for adoption in practical fields when provision for removing high saline water from the rice fields can be arranged.

Published: June 2020

The purpose of the company is to increase the firm value. But in the last six years, firm value of the banking sector has fluctuated and even tends to decrease. The level of banking health can be expected to increase the firm value. The level of banking health can be measured using Risk Profile (RP), Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Earning, Capital (RGEC) method which is the latest formula after Capital, Asset Quality, Management, Earning, Liquidity (CAMEL). The purpose of this study was to determine effect of the banking health on the firm value. The research method uses partial panel data regression through the determination of estimation model and classical assumption test in advance using 33 banks listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The results showed that there was significant and positive effect between Return on Asset (ROA) and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) on firm value. Beside, there was positive but not significant effect between GCG and risk profile on firm value. The results showed that capital is a factor of business developer and company earnings can show as a signal of quality prospects. The application of GCG is not a significant influence because the results of self-assessment are not in accordance with fraud that occurs. Banks must be able to manage their risk, so that the risk can be an encouragement for them to produce high values.

Authors: Perrodin David D. , Somboon Narumon
Published: June 2020

This study sought to determine the sequence of L2 morpheme presentation, as well as to determine whether or not the sequence of morpheme presentations correspond with the recognized natural order of morpheme acquisition in English Language Teaching course books utilized with young adult learners at a public sector vocational education institution in Thailand. Qualitative analysis was employed in the scrutinizing of twelve beginner and elementary level ESL and EFL learners course books that have been utilized as the primary teaching material for over a decade by the general education department of the institute. This examination revealed that the morpheme presentation sequence within the selected ELT course books was not analogous with the conclusions in the supporting literature. The findings further indicated that the widely accepted viewpoint of natural order morpheme acquisition was likewise not substantially reflected within the analyzed texts. Albeit, earlier studies have found that an unnatural sequence of morpheme presentation in EFL course books may hamper communicative competence in English, further study is required to establish if this may be a contributing factor for the overall low English proficiency of adult L2 learners in Thailand.

Authors: Abdullah Berivan M. A. , Murad Ivan H. , Abdullah Herjin F.
Published: June 2020

The current study investigates Kurdish studentsâ€™ attitudes towards the use of films in teaching literary works at universities in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The study also highlights whether using films in teaching literary works is beneficial or not and what challenges are faced by them. The data were collected by using questionnaires and interviews from 60 students aged between 18-24 years old from both private and public universities. Out of 60 students, 15 were randomly chosen to be interviewed. Results show that some students consider teaching literary works using films is beneficial, as it encourages students to study and read more literary works and it also makes them actively interact with the content which helps them remember the events more effectively. However, the study also reveals that some Kurdish students consider teaching literary works using films is a waste of time, and this discourages interaction between students and their teacher. In addition, â€˜boredomâ€™ and â€˜language difficultyâ€™ are the other two major challenges faced by Kurdish students.

Published: June 2020

The article deals with the issue of lexical variation of phraseological units. The study aims to identify and analyse lexical variants of phraseological units with the general meaning of evaluation in the Russian language. The research is novel in that it studies the variation phenomenon by the material of predicative-evaluative phraseological units, which represent the evaluation category in the language and correspond to prepositional-nominal phrases with one content word. The attained results have shown that in the lexical-grammatical class of predicative-evaluative phraseological units there can be found cases of lexical variation characterised by sameness.

Problem of Differentiation: Meaning vs Idea vs Notion vs Concept as Meta-Language to Describe Semantic Structure of Linguistic Sign
Authors: Nikitina Veronika Vladimirovna
Published: June 2020

The article considers the problem of differentiating the key meta-terms of linguistic semantics - “meaning”, “idea”, “notion” and “concept”. The author presents a survey of the existing views on the linguistic sign. Linguistic phenomena of conceptualization are realized at the semantic level; consequently, description of the linguistic sign meaning allows identifying its conceptual content. Scientific originality of the research involves the comprehensive approach to studying one of the key concepts of classical semantics - the notion “meaning”. The findings indicate that “meaning” is determined by the linguistic sign semantics and does not correlate with the general meaning of a statement.

Tourism Analysis Using User-Generated Content: A Case Study of Foreign Tourists Visiting Japan on TripAdvisor
Authors: Tsujioka Suguru , Watanabe Kojiro , Tsukamoto Akihiro
Published: June 2020

In recent years, online travel service platforms such as TripAdvisor have been actively used by tourists. These services include user-generated content, which is vast and difficult to interpret manually. Several previous studies used user-generated content (e.g., social networking services and TripAdvisor) for tourism analysis. Most of these studies did not perform a systematic text analysis. In this study, we propose a method of analyzing this content to understand the characteristics of sightseeing attractions. Specifically, we analyzed the reviews of foreign tourists who visited Japanese sightseeing attractions. The review data were collected from TripAdvisor. First, a correspondence analysis was conducted to understand the similarities between sightseeing attractions. Next, a co-occurrence network analysis was conducted to derive the theme clusters for understanding the characteristics of sightseeing attractions based on the words in the review. Finally, individual analyses were conducted based on the description of the derived themes at each sightseeing attraction. The results of the analyses demonstrate that the proposed method is effective for comprehending the characteristics of each sightseeing attraction. The proposed method is useful when using user-generated content for tourism analysis.

The Gedan floristic assemblage from the Late Cretaceous deposits of the Kholchan Formation of the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanogenic belt
Authors: Golovneva L. B. , Shczepetov S. V.
Published: June 2020

The Gedan floristic assemblage occurs from upper layers of the Kholchan Formation of the Okchotsk-Chukotka volcanogenic belt (OCVB). The locality is situated at the Gedan River in the middle part of the Arman River basin. The Gedan assemblage is composed of 6 taxa: Cladophlebis sp., Sphenobaiera sp., Ginkgo ex gr. adiantoides (Ung.) Heer, Taxodium amguemensis (Efimova) Golovn., Metasequoia sp., Pagiophyllum sp. The similarity of the Gedan floristic assemblage with the Karamken and the Khirumki floristic assemblages from the Kholchan Formation of the Okhotsk sector of the OCVB allows us to join them in the Kholchan flora. This flora is distinct from more ancient Arman flora, which dated as the Turonian-Coniacian and from younger Ola flora, which dated as the Santonian-early Campanian. The age of the Kholchan flora is estimated as the Coniacian on the basis of stratigraphic position, presence of Podozamites, Metasequoia and Quereuxia and also isotopic data. This flora is equivalent with the Chaun flora of Central Chukotka, with the Aleeki flora from the Villigha and Toomahni Rivers interfluve and with the Ulya flora from the southern part of the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanogenic belt.

Feasibility and Performance Analysis of Neptune Aerocapture Using Heritage Blunt Body Aeroshells (Pre-print)
Authors: Girija Athul Pradeepkumar
Published: June 2020

Large navigation and atmospheric uncertainties have historically driven the need for a mid-lift-to-drag L/D vehicle with L/D of 0.6--0.8 for aerocapture at Neptune. Most planetary entry vehicles flown to date are low-L/D blunt-body aeroshells with L/D less than 0.4. The lack of a heritage mid-L/D aeroshell presents a major hurdle for Neptune aerocapture, as the development a new entry vehicle incurs significant time and investment. Techniques which may allow Neptune aerocapture to be feasible using heritage low-L/D blunt-body aeroshells are investigated that obviate the need for mid-L/D aeroshells. A navigation study is performed to quantify the delivery errors, and a new guidance algorithm with onboard density estimation is developed to accommodate large atmospheric uncertainties. Monte Carlo simulation results indicate that the reduced navigation uncertainty and improved guidance scheme enable a blunt-body aeroshell with L/D = 0.3--0.4 to perform aerocapture at Neptune. The expected heat rate is within the capabilities of existing thermal protection system materials.
The dimensionality of neural representations for control
Authors: Badre David , Bhandari Apoorva , Keglovits Haley , Kikumoto Atsushi
Published: June 2020

Cognitive control allows us to think and behave flexibly based on our context and goals. At the heart of theories of cognitive control is a control representation that enables the same input to produce different outputs contingent on contextual factors. In this review, we focus on an important property of the control representation’s neural code: its representational dimensionality. Dimensionality of a neural representation balances a basic separability/generalizability trade-off in neural computation. We will discuss the implications of this trade-off for cognitive control. We will then briefly review current neuroscience findings regarding the dimensionality of control representations in the brain, particularly the prefrontal cortex. We conclude by highlighting open questions and crucial directions for future research.
The best-case heuristic: Relative optimism in relationships, politics, and a global health pandemic
Authors: Sjåstad Hallgeir , Van Bavel Jay Joseph
Published: June 2020

In four experiments covering three different life domains, participants made future predictions in what they considered the most realistic scenario, an optimistic best-case scenario, or a pessimistic worst-case scenario (N=2,900 Americans). Consistent with a best-case heuristic, participants made "realistic" predictions that were much closer to their best-case scenario than to their worst-case scenario. We found the same best-case asymmetry in health-related predictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, for romantic relationships, and a future presidential election. In a fully between-subjects design (Experiment 4), realistic and best-case predictions were practically identical, and they were naturally made faster than the worst-case predictions. At least in the current study domains, the findings suggest that people generate “realistic” predictions by leaning towards their best-case scenario and largely ignoring their worst-case scenario. Although political conservatism was correlated with lower covid-related risk perception and lower support of early public-health interventions, the best-case prediction heuristic was ideologically symmetric.
An exploratory network analysis of hot people and places
Authors: Wheeler Andrew Palmer , McLean Sarah J. , Worden Robert E.
Published: June 2020

There is a growing body of evidence that suggests police can be more effective in addressing crime and disorder when they focus on hot people and/or hot places -- those people and places disproportionately driving crime and disorder. I examine the connections between hot people and hot places by considering micro places (street segments and intersections) and people as nodes in an interconnected network. Specifically, I examine whether hot people tend to have a finite set of locations they congregate, and whether hot places have unique profiles of chronic offenders. The end goal is to identify if observed patterns can help police combine targeted enforcement of hot people and hot places in one overarching strategy.
Is the German Academic Profession on Metrification Autopilot? A Study of 25 Years of Publication Outputs
Authors: Schneijderberg Christian , Müller Lars , Götze Nicolai
Published: June 2020

Given their constitutionally guaranteed academic freedom, German academics are not forced by law to metrify their research outputs, but they do still practice metrification – one could say on autopilot. The metrification autopilot mode captures the voluntary commitment of a substantial part of the German academic profession to socio-calculative valuation, evaluation and valorization practices in the governance and control of higher education institutions (HEI), of disciplines and at the individual level. The effects of the metrification autopilot, in terms of auto-metrification in individual academics’ publication behavior, are studied empirically using three surveys (1992, 2007 and 2018). On the individual level, the metrification autopilot is observed as a trend among all full professors. Among non-full professors, the most metrified publication outputs are produced by academics who have been in their positions for more than 13 years. Accordingly, socialization into metrified status/reputation-seeking and status/reputation-keeping academic culture seems to take about 12 years. On the organizational level, we observe the metrification autopilot trend on the basis of the correlation between journal articles and HEIs’ policy of strong metrified performance recognition. On the discipline level, the metrification autopilot trend is observable in the way that humanities and social sciences scholars adapt to the peer-reviewed journal publication paradigm of the natural sciences, which is a key driver for transforming science and HEIs into a “socio-calculative environment” (Vormbusch 2012) of valuation, evaluation and valorization.
FAIR data and data management requirements in a comparative perspective: Horizon 2020 and FWF policies
Authors: Spichtinger Daniel , Blumesberger Susanne
Published: June 2020

Based on our input to the Data Management Workshop, held during the Austrian Citizen Science Conference 2019 in Obergurgl, we provide a comparative perspective on the open data and data management requirements in the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme and those of a national funder, the Austrian FWF, in this paper. We conclude that, although there are some differences in terminology and specific requirements, both the FWF and Horizon 2020 DMPs essentially cover the same ground.
Architectures of Totality: Structure, History and Polemos in Kafka and Borges
Authors: Dove Patrick
Published: June 2020

Parable in the works of Franz Kafka provides a literary site for exploring the relation between likeness and difference and between what can be compared and the limit of comparison. By the same token, the parabolic topos of Babel points toward an internal limit for political power and the logic of sovereignty, a limit that both gives rise to sovereignty and ruins its attempts to consolidate itself as all-encompassing and permanent. With Jorge Luis Borges, meanwhile, his return to the parable of Babel gives rise to a consideration of the absolute or specular identity of thought and being and of how such an identity would in fact announce the end of history as such. For Borges, it is from the temporality of time that history draws its possibility, above and beyond all claims to unified thought and being.
Transmedial Noise:Babeland the Translation of Radio
Authors: Zivin Erin Graff
Published: June 2020

In his 1923 essay “The Task of the Translator,” Walter Benjamin takes a strong stance against the idea of communicability in poetry: “But what then is there in a poem—and even bad translators concede this to be essential—besides a message? Isn’t it generally acknowledged to be the incomprehensible, the secret, the ‘poetic’?” The theory of translation that flows from this statement is one in which concepts such as transparency and originality are cast aside in favor of the notion of the secret that, he claims, lies at the heart of poetic language. Here, the idea of Babel as a site of confusion, as a fall from grace, is called into question. How do we approach Babel today, and what new forms, what new media allow us to reconsider Benjamin’s assertions? This article considers the way in which conceptual art has approached the question of untranslatability through the motif of noise. Evaluating the role sound plays in thinking through the problem of untranslatability, I suggest that it is through “transmedial exposure”—the exposure of one medium to another—that we can begin to think about the ethics and politics of untranslatability, of Babel. The article takes as a case study Brazilian conceptual artist Cildo Meireles’s 2001 large-scale sculptural installation Babel, a tower of radios each tuned to a different station that, taken together, produce an overwhelming experience of cacophony.
The Possibility of the Unicorn in Borges and Kafka
Authors: Levinson Brett
Published: June 2020

The relationship between Jorge Luis Borges and deconstruction has been much investigated, yet rarely has this research addressed the fact that both projects share the conviction that neither language nor text exist. Obviously, neither discourse denies that language and text are there. Yet they are not, here, presences: they are not objects before a subject, hence beings, not even imaginary beings. Departing from a close reading of Jacques Derrida’s insistence that “language does not exist, no one has ever encountered it,” this article scrutinizes the way in which this “non-existence” opens a path for a rethinking of history, literary history, Latin American aesthetics, and Latin American cultural studies. Also offered are novel interpretations of Borges’s “Funes, His Memory,” “Kafka and His Precursors,” and The Book of Imaginary Beings.
