Published: December 2017

Há décadas tem se estudado a associação de doenças orais e sistêmicas, embora a relação de causa e efeito ainda não tenha sido claramente estabelecida. Com o ressurgimento da teoria da infecção focal, outros estudos analisaram a relação entre a existência do foco infeccioso de natureza bacteriana com a possibilidade de disseminação, o que pode condicionar a doenças sistêmicas, como, por exemplo, a endocardite bacteriana. Nesse sentido, a verificação da disseminação microbiana como fator de risco para doenças cardíacas tem sido investigada em vários estudos. Análises epidemiológicas demonstraram a relação entre a doença periodontal crônica e doença cardíaca coronariana, acidente vascular cerebral, prematuridade e baixo peso ao nascimento e doença respiratória. Entretanto, o papel da periodontite apical (PA) associada a infecções endodônticas no desenvolvimento de alterações sistêmicas tem sido alvo de poucos estudos. As infecções periodontais e as infecções endodônticas têm uma microbiologia complexa e estão associadas a níveis elevados de citocinas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar a produção científica publicada nos últimos 5 anos relacionando PA com doenças cardiovasculares (DVC) e descobrir quais as principais alterações cardíacas ligados aos estudos de PA.Descritores: Endodontia; Periodontite Periapical; Doenças Cardiovasculares.
Specific Phrasemes with Ethnonyms and their Study by Corpus Analysis
Authors: Dinžíková Iveta
Published: December 2017

This article studies the phrasemes comprising an ethnonym in the source language (French) as well as the target language (Slovak). This approach is contrastive and the phrasemes have been classified according to the type of equivalence (total equivalent, partial equivalent and phrasemes without equivalent). The aim of the research was to analyse 27 phrasemes with the help of the corpus linguistics method (relative frequency and logDice association measure), and four monolingual corpora (the corpora frTenTen12, skTenTen11, Emolex, prim-7.0-public-all) with approx. 130 million up to approx. 10 billion words in each of them, so it is a fairly wide range of language materials.Firstly, we focus on the current state of French and Slovak phraseology. We present the distribution of phrasemes into three types: general, professional and so-called mixed (of which the last type represents our own proposition). Then, by translating the source language-culture into the target language-culture, we demonstrate the three basic types of phrasemes equivalence but our attention is on the first two types. Afterwards, we present quantitative methods of corpus linguistics (four monolingual corpora, relative frequency and the logDice association measure). Then, we analyse 27 specific phrasemes. This is qualitative analysis (their distribution into three types of equivalence as well as their repair in general, professional and mixed phrasemes), but also quantitative analysis (analysis based on relative frequency and also on logDice association measure). In the end, we demonstrate and evaluate the results of our research.The research objectives are set to find out the frequency of phrasemes in various types of texts and the level of their specificity within the framework of each of the corpora, based on which it is possible to propose which of the phrasemes should be placed at the forefront for looking up an entry and its individual components or a phraseme as a whole, and thus contribute to supporting the creation of current French/Slovak lexicography and phraseography.Moreover, from the point of view of teaching foreign languages, we can use the second type of equivalence as a contrasting factor between French and Slovak language-cultures because they can either easily interfere with other phrasemes of the target language-culture or be not well understood in the target language-culture.

Impact of Nanoparticle Surface Properties on the Attachment of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles to Sand and Kaolin
Authors: Zhang Weilan , Schwab Arthur P. , White Jason C. , Ma Xingmao
Published: December 2017

Soil texture has been found to be a critical factor in regulating the fate and transport of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2NPs) in the terrestrial environment. However, the underlying mechanisms for the interactions between CeO2NPs and different components of soil are still poorly understood. The attachment of CeO2NPs onto two typical components of soil (sand and kaolin) in batch experiments were investigated to provide insights into the retention and bioavailability of CeO2NPs in soil. Surface properties of CeO2NPs, including surface charge and surface coating condition, had strong impacts on the interactions between CeO2NPs and soil particles. Positively charged CeO2NPs [CeO2NPs(+)] displayed the greatest attachment onto kaolin, whereas the negatively charged CeO2NPs [CeO2NPs(−)] showed poorest attachment onto sand. The attachment of CeO2NPs onto kaolin was significantly greater than onto sand, irrespective of surface charge. Homoaggregation of CeO2NPs increased the size of CeO2NPs on the surface of sand and kaolin. Extended Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (XDLVO) calculations agreed with the experimental observations that surface charge and coating condition of CeO2NPs played a vital role in the homoaggregation and adsorption of CeO2NPs. For CeO2NPs(−) coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), the steric repulsion between soil particles and CeO2NPs increases rapidly with the increase of maximum surface concentration of PVP. Adsorption isothermal fittings indicated that the adsorption of CeO2NPs onto sand and kaolin can be properly described by the Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm. The results obtained in this study are crucial for the understanding of the fate and transport of engineered nanomaterials in the environment.

Core Ideas

Surface properties are pivotal for the adsorption CeO2NPs on soil particles.

The adsorption of CeO2NPs onto kaolin is stronger than onto sand.

The XDLVO model is capable of interpreting the interactions of CeO2NPs and soil particles.

Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm fits the adsorption of CeO2NPs to sand and clay.

Published: December 2017

The introduction and utilization of new maize (Zea mays L.) germplasm from sources, such as the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), can be valuable for broadening the genetic base of breeding populations through the introgression of new alleles. Twenty‐five inbred lines, derived from CIMMYT breeding populations, were selected on the basis of grain color, resistance to turcicum leaf blight, and per se line performance in Yunnan. To use the lines effectively, information on their performance in hybrid combinations and on general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) needed to be obtained. The objectives of this study were (i) to evaluate these lines for grain yield (GY) in hybrid combinations and determine GCA of parental lines and SCA of crosses between the 25 introduced lines and six testers using North Carolina Design II; and (ii) to classify the lines into different maize heterotic groups. The field testing at three locations identified crosses with lines from Cateto and Population 147 (P147) as having significantly higher GY than those from SA3 and other introduced populations, and the high GY was largely attributable to their high positive GCA effects. Lines from the same population were not necessarily classified into same maize heterotic group. Lines selected at S4 or a later generation would be expected to have more stable GCA effects than lines selected in earlier generations.

Core Ideas

Terrestrial lidar technology can provide surface data at high spatial resolution and accuracy.

For rill erosion within furrows, lidar provides high‐quality quantitative information.

Sheet erosion is more difficult to quantify.

Soil swelling needs to be taken into account.

Terrestrial lidar technology provides accurate surface data at high spatial resolution. This study examined the ability of lidar scanners to evaluate soil erosion and deposition at high spatial and temporal resolutions. Lidar scans were conducted in six field plots with three different tillage systems during two rain seasons, focusing on four major rainfall events. Results show that the lidar scanner identifies changes in the surface elevation in the case of rill erosion within the furrows. In these cases, the high‐quality quantitative data can assist practical decision‐making and can contribute to the calibration of physically based erosion models. In other cases, however, the results show that the ability of the lidar scanners to detect erosion and deposition processes is limited. The reasons for this limitation are the minor effect of sheet erosion on flat surfaces and soil swelling and shrinking occurring during and after rainfall events. Swelling–shrinking and soil compaction processes need to be taken into account during lidar scanning, as their magnitude is comparable to that of soil loss by erosion. On the other hand, the ability to measure these processes allows investigation of the dynamics of surface processes during wetting and drying sequences. The results showed also that the effect of the rainfall pattern was stronger when the rainfall intensity and the initial soil moisture were higher, and that rill erosion is more important when the furrows are parallel to the slope direction, while deposition is accentuated when the furrows are perpendicular to the slope.

Diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome following regional anaesthesia
Authors: Shaw Michael , Ahmed Khalil
Published: December 2017

A 54‐year‐old female required open reduction and internal fixation of a left sided distal radius and ulnar fracture. Due to suffering from a concurrent chest infection and significant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, she underwent the procedure using regional anaesthesia. The operation was completed without incident using an axillary brachial plexus nerve block. Following this, the patient developed severe forearm pain in the post‐anaesthetic recovery unit despite otherwise dense sensorimotor block in her arm. A diagnosis of iatrogenic compartment syndrome was made secondary to plaster cast immobilisation. The symptoms were alleviated by releasing the cast. The patient subse quentlymade an uncomplicated recovery. This case highlights how it is possible to diagnose acute compartment syndrome in the presence of working regional anaesthesia.
Evaluating the suitability of tungsten, titanium and stainless steel wires as current collectors in microbial fuel cells
Authors: Sharma I. , Ghangrekar M. M.
Published: December 2017

An appropriate current collector (CC) is crucial for harvesting substantial power in a microbial fuel cell (MFC). In the present study, stainless steel (SS) and titanium wires were used as the CCs for both the anode and cathode of MFC-1 and MFC-2, respectively. Tungsten wire (TW) was used as the anode CC in MFC-3, with SS wire as the cathode CC. In MFC-4, TW was used as the cathode CC with SS wire as the anode CC, and in MFC-5 both electrode CCs were TW. The power density, current density, oxidation current and bio-capacitance were compared to select the best and most cost effective CC material to enhance the power output of MFCs. Maximum power densities (mW/m2) of 32.28, 93.10, 225.38, 210.74, and 234.88 were obtained in MFC-1, MFC-2, MFC-3, MFC-4, and MFC-5, respectively. The highest current density (639.86 mA/m2) and coulombic efficiency (23.12 ± 1.5%) achieved in MFC-5 showed TW to be the best CC for both electrodes. The maximum oxidation current of 7.4 mA and 7 mA and bio-capacitance of 10.3 mF/cm2 and 9.7 mF/cm2 were achieved in MFC-3 and MFC-5, respectively, suggesting TW is the best as the anode CC and SS wire as the cathode CC to reduce MFC fabrication costs.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a powerful diagnostic nuclear medicine imaging technique.
PET allows in vivo detection of a wide variety of physiologic and pathologic phenomena and it offers a noninvasive
tool for the monitoring of therapy in various diseases. Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are a global concern
because of the increasing population of patients at risk of IFIs and the high morbidity and mortality. Therapy with
antifungal agents is long-standing and expensive. The emerging resistant fungal strains make the management of
IFIs challenging. There is an absolute need for a sensitive noninvasive biomarker capable of monitoring the disease
activity of IFIs and determining the efficacy of treatment at an early time point. PET imaging with 18Ffluorodeoxyglucose
(FDG) was used to detect and assess disease activity in IFI foci already over 20 years ago. At
that time, it was suggested it could be a useful biomarker for monitoring antifungal therapy. However, this
knowledge has still not been fully exploited for the management of IFIs. The literature reveals an increasing realization
of the usefulness of PET in monitoring therapy of IFIs. In this review, we highlight the advantages of nuclear
medicine techniques in the management of IFIs with emphasis of the role of PET in monitoring therapy
efficacy.

Published: December 2017

Background:

Crocus sativus (Iridaceae) has been traditionally used in the Iranian folk medicine and
as a culinary additive. Major components of the plant that are responsible for biological properties are saffranal,
crocin, picrocrocin and crocetin. Although the level of crocetin is not high, some of the important activities of
saffron such as antioxidant activity have been attributed to crocetin.

Objective:

In the present study, we investigated the effects of crocetin on melanogenesis in B16 melanoma cells.

Methods:

The effect of crocetin on intracellular and mushroom tyrosinase activity and the content of melanin
was evaluated spectrophotometrically. Tyrosinase and Microphthalmia-Associated Transcription Factor (MITF)
protein levels were compared between Crocetin-treated and control cells after western blot analysis. The antioxidative
activity of crocetin was also investigated.

Results:

Crocetin could inhibit mushroom tyrosinase activity and lower the amount of melanin in B16
melanoma cells. Protein levels of tyrosinase and MITF were also decreased by crocetin. Crocetin also showed
antioxidant activity and depleted cellular Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) content but had no cytotoxicity in
alamarBlue® assay.

Conclusion:

Taken together, decreased tyrosinase activity, melanin content, tyrosinase and MITF proteins levels,
and ROS production showed the inhibition of melanogenesis in B16F10 cells by crocetin. Hence, crocetin
could be suggested as a potential dermatological whitening agent in skin care products.
The Effects of Implicit and Explicit Motor Learning in Gait Rehabilitation of People After Stroke: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Jie Li-Juan , Kleynen Melanie , Meijer Kenneth , Beurskens Anna , Braun Susy
Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND

A significant part of neurological rehabilitation focuses on facilitating the learning of motor skills. Training can adopt either (more) explicit or (more) implicit forms of motor learning. Gait is one of the most practiced motor skills within rehabilitation in people after stroke because it is an important criterion for discharge and requirement for functioning at home.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to describe the design of a randomized controlled study assessing the effects of implicit motor learning compared with the explicit motor learning in gait rehabilitation of people suffering from stroke.

METHODS

The study adopts a randomized, controlled, single-blinded study design. People after stroke will be eligible for participation when they are in the chronic stage of recovery (>6 months after stroke), would like to improve walking performance, have a slow walking speed (<1 m/s), can communicate in Dutch, and complete a 3-stage command. People will be excluded if they cannot walk a minimum of 10 m or have other additional impairments that (severely) influence gait. Participants will receive 9 gait-training sessions over a 3-week period and will be randomly allocated to an implicit or explicit group. Therapists are aware of the intervention they provide, and the assessors are blind to the intervention participants receive. Outcome will be assessed at baseline (T0), directly after the intervention (T1), and after 1 month (T2). The primary outcome parameter is walking velocity. Walking performance will be assessed with the 10-meter walking test, Dynamic Gait Index, and while performing a secondary task (dual task). Self-reported measures are the Movement Specific Reinvestment Scale, verbal protocol, Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale, and the Global Perceived Effect scale. A process evaluation will take place to identify how the therapy was perceived and identify factors that may have influenced the effectiveness of the intervention. Repeated measures analyses will be conducted to determine significant and clinical relevant differences between groups and over time.

RESULTS

Data collection is currently ongoing and results are expected in 2019.

CONCLUSIONS

The relevance of the study as well as the advantages and disadvantages of several aspects of the chosen design are discussed, for example, the personalized approach and choice of measurements.

Authors: Booth Richard , Sinclair Barbara , McMurray Josephine , Strudwick Gillian , Watson Gavan , Ladak Hanif , Zwarenstein Merrick , McBride Susan , Chan Ryan , Brennan Laura
Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND

Although electronic medication administration record systems have been implemented in settings where nurses work, nursing students commonly lack robust learning opportunities to practice the skills and workflow of digitalized medication administration during their formative education. As a result, nursing students’ performance in administering medication facilitated by technology is often poor. Serious gaming has been recommended as a possible intervention to improve nursing students’ performance with electronic medication administration in nursing education.

OBJECTIVE

The objectives of this study are to examine whether the use of a gamified electronic medication administration simulator (1) improves nursing students’ attention to medication administration safety within simulated practice, (2) increases student self-efficacy and knowledge of the medication administration process, and (3) improves motivational and cognitive processing attributes related to student learning in a technology-enabled environment.

METHODS

This study comprised the development of a gamified electronic medication administration record simulator and its evaluation in 2 phases. Phase 1 consists of a prospective, pragmatic randomized controlled trial with second-year baccalaureate nursing students at a Canadian university. Phase 2 consists of qualitative focus group interviews with a cross-section of nursing student participants.

RESULTS

The gamified medication administration simulator has been developed, and data collection is currently under way.

CONCLUSIONS

If the gamified electronic medication administration simulator is found to be effective, it could be used to support other health professional simulated education and scaled more widely in nursing education programs.

YouTube as an Educational Resource in Medical Education: A Scoping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Curran Vernon , Simmons Karla , Fleet Lisa , Gustafson Diana L. , Wetsch Lyle
Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND

Video has been a powerful teaching and learning tool in medical education, enabling knowledge, skill and attitude formation in a variety of areas and reaching learners with various learning and communication styles. The millennial generation has grown up with video at their fingertips at any time and any place, and social networking sites such as YouTube enable the sharing of video amongst a vast online community. YouTube has emerged as a growing educational resource for both learners and medical educators. However, the usefulness of YouTube in supporting teaching and learning across the continuum of medical education has not been explored in detail. Given the increasing usage of YouTube in medical education, a review of the literature on YouTube and its utilization in medical education could inform more effective adoption and usage by institutions, educators, practitioners and learners.

OBJECTIVE

To explore the use of YouTube across the medical education continuum.

METHODS

A scoping review of the literature was performed. PubMed, ERIC and CINAHL were searched for literature on YouTube usage for medical education purposes published between 2005 and 2017 using a combination of search terms. Articles were screened using a defined set of inclusion criteria. Key items of information from each paper were collated using a data extraction tool and common themes from the literature were identified via thematic analysis.

RESULTS

Of the 113 articles initially identified in the literature search, 31 met inclusion criteria. Results show that a large number of YouTube videos exist across a variety of medical topic areas. However, only a small number of studies have evaluated the effectiveness of YouTube as an educational intervention and these are largely limited to learner satisfaction only. YouTube does offer the opportunity for educators to share videos and for learners to access a wide array of video materials. However, a majority of studies involving the assessment of content quality suggest that YouTube videos may be an inadequate source of information for learning due to the high variability of content. A key limitation in many of these studies was that searches were mainly restricted to publicly available video content.

CONCLUSIONS

There is a paucity of research and evaluative work surrounding the use of YouTube as an educational resource across the medical education continuum. The quality of the content on YouTube is highly variable due to a lack of peer-review. Further evaluation of the effective integration of YouTube in medical education would inform further understanding and future practice.
Codesigned Shared Decision-Making Diabetes Management Plan Tool for Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Their Parents: Prototype Development and Pilot Test (Preprint)
Authors: Hannon Tamara S , Moore Courtney M , Cheng Erika R , Lynch Dustin O , Yazel-Smith Lisa G , Claxton Gina EM , Carroll Aaron E , Wiehe Sarah E
Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND

Adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus have difficulty achieving optimal glycemic control, partly due to competing priorities that interfere with diabetes self-care. Often, significant diabetes-related family conflict occurs, and adolescents’ thoughts and feelings about diabetes management may be disregarded. Patient-centered diabetes outcomes may be better when adolescents feel engaged in the decision-making process.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of our study was to codesign a clinic intervention using shared decision making for addressing diabetes self-care with an adolescent patient and parent advisory board.

METHODS

The patient and parent advisory board consisted of 6 adolescents (teens) between the ages 12 and 18 years with type 1 diabetes mellitus and their parents recruited through our institution’s Pediatric Diabetes Program. Teens and parents provided informed consent and participated in 1 or both of 2 patient and parent advisory board sessions, lasting 3 to 4 hours each. Session 1 topics were (1) patient-centered outcomes related to quality of life, parent-teen shared diabetes management, and shared family experiences; and (2) implementation and acceptability of a patient-centered diabetes care plan intervention where shared decision making was used. We analyzed audio recordings, notes, and other materials to identify and extract ideas relevant to the development of a patient-centered diabetes management plan. These data were visually coded into similar themes. We used the information to develop a prototype for a diabetes management plan tool that we pilot tested during session 2.

RESULTS

Session 1 identified 6 principal patient-centered quality-of-life measurement domains: stress, fear and worry, mealtime struggles, assumptions and judgments, feeling abnormal, and conflict. We determined 2 objectives to be principally important for a diabetes management plan intervention: (1) focusing the intervention on diabetes distress and conflict resolution strategies, and (2) working toward a verbalized common goal. In session 2, we created the diabetes management plan tool according to these findings and will use it in a clinical trial with the aim of assisting with patient-centered goal setting.

CONCLUSIONS

Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus can be effectively engaged and involved in patient-centered research design. Teens with type 1 diabetes mellitus prioritize reducing family conflict and fitting into their social milieu over health outcomes at this time in their lives. It is important to acknowledge this when designing interventions to improve health outcomes in teens with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Published: December 2017

The issue of social policy development in Indonesia has received considerable critical attention due often not consider non-state actor in the welfare provision. Data from several studies show that welfare system of contemporary Indonesia commonly fits with mix regime model, where the state, kinship relation, and markets play important role in provide social welfare for the society simultaneously. Accordingly, the greater efforts are needed to ensure that policy maker could regulate the ability to stimulate the compatible actor with likely welfare outcomes expected. By taking the empirical case of the Program Bedah Rumah Swadaya in Kulon Progo Regency Yogyakarta, this paper would examine the welfare politics that put community and market institutions as alternative resources to provides the decent houses for disadvantage groups. Correspondingly, this account composed into the three of main parts. The first part begins by laying out a brief overview of the foundation of Kulon Progo welfare system. The second part would identify how the political citizenship dimension is carried out through this programs. While the last part captures the resource arrangements in housing provision.

ANALISIS SKEMA ALTERNATIF KREDIT PROGRAM UNTUK USAHA MIKRO, KECIL DAN MENENGAH
Authors: Aziz Abdul , Wicaksono Eko
Published: December 2017

Pemerintah Indonesia memiliki komitmen untuk mengurangi angka kemiskinan di Indonesia. Salah satu program kegiatan yang digulirkan adalah dengan pemberian fasilitas kredit kepada unit usaha mikro, baik melalui skema penjaminan kredit seperti Kredit Usaha Rakyat (KUR) maupun melalui skema subsidi bunga seperti Kredit Ketahanan Pangan dan Energi (KKP-E) dan Kredit Usaha Pembibitan Sapi (KUPS). Namun demikian, terdapat permasalahan besar dalam implementasi, seperti besarnya risiko terjadinya default, prudentialitydari bank pelaksana yang terlalu tinggi, serta ketidaktepatan penyaluran. Permasalahan tersebut tidak terlepas dari permasalahan dasar di credit market, yaitu asymmetric informationyang meliputi adverse selectiondan moral hazard. Oleh sebab itu, permasalahan ini pada akhirnya berujung pada tidak optimalnya penyerapan kredit program. Hal tersebut akan menghambat akses calon debitur kepada permodalan pada waktu yang tepat, sehingga tidak menutup kemungkinan calon debitur tersebut akhirnya mengandalkan akses modal dari lembaga keuangan informal dengan tingkat bunga yang cukup tinggi. Potret permasalahan tersebut mendasari penelitian ini untuk menganalisis lebih lanjut desain alternatif skema kredit program. Skema tersebut mencakup institusi yang seharusnya dilibatkan dalam implementasi program sehingga terwujud credit market yang berkelanjutan bagi usaha mikro, kecil, dan menengah (UMKM). Keberadaan lembaga keuangan mikro (LKM) dianggap dapat mengatasi kedua permasalahan dasar tersebut mengingat LKM memiliki akses informasi yang lebih bagus terkait calon debitur. Oleh sebab itu, salah satu rekomendasi yang diajukan adalah melakukan penyatuan format kredit program dan pada akhirnya mengusulkan LKM sebagai salah satu pelaksana dari kredit program untuk memperluas akses kredit bagi UMKM di Indonesia.
AGENDA PEMBANGUNAN PLTN DAN PENCAPAIAN KETAHANAN LISTRIK
Authors: Hariyadi Hariyadi
Published: December 2017

AbstractsPolicy agenda-setting process for the development of nuclear power generation (PLTN), a process which had ever got a strong political endorsement during the preceeding government, has not indicated any significant change. A strong political issue driven by social oppositions arising both from the potential sites of the generation and the people at large, academicians, anti-nuclear movements and small part of the main related stakeholders have indicated that the agenda-setting process into a formal decision remains uncertain. Nevertheless, for the sake of achieving national power security, the development of PLTN agenda remains to be a rational policy in the long run. The government initial efforts to design a roadmap for the national nuclear development indicates that the agenda-setting process will get a more significant support. By using qualitative method and with the focus on the primary and secondary data conducted in the Jepara District, Central Java Province and Pangkal Pinang District, Babel Province, this study aims to to see the dynamic picture of the agenda-setting process for and the feasibility of the PLTN development in the framework for sustaining the power security in the medium and long run. The study shows that (1) the agenda-setting process for the PLTN development has not indicated a strong political will from the government due to limited supports from the public and regional governments, and (2) the feasibility of the PLTN development however remains to become a rational policy option in the long run for sustaining the power security nationally. It is therefore, once the agenda-setting process has come to a formal policy conclusion, the government has to manage serious challenges for its implementation.
Toolbox for reconstructing quantum theory from rules on information acquisition
Authors: Höhn Philipp Andres
Published: December 2017

We develop an operational approach for reconstructing the quantum theory of qubit systems from elementary rules on information acquisition. The focus lies on an observerOinterrogating a systemSwith binary questions andS's state is taken asO's `catalogue of knowledge' aboutS. The mathematical tools of the framework are simple and we attempt to highlight all underlying assumptions. Four rules are imposed, asserting (1) a limit on the amount of information available toO; (2) the mere existence of complementary information; (3)O's total amount of information to be preserved in-between interrogations; and, (4)O's `catalogue of knowledge' to change continuously in time in-between interrogations and every consistent such evolution to be possible. This approach permits a {\it constructive} derivation of quantum theory, elucidating how the ensuing independence, complementarity and compatibility structure ofO's questions matches that of projective measurements in quantum theory, how entanglement and monogamy of entanglement, non-locality and, more generally, how the correlation structure of arbitrarily many qubits and rebits arises. The rules yield a reversible time evolution and a quadratic measure, quantifyingO's information aboutS. Finally, it is shown that the four rules admit two solutions for the simplest case of a single elementary system: the Bloch ball and disc as state spaces for a qubit and rebit, respectively, together with their symmetries as time evolution groups. The reconstruction for arbitrarily many qubits is completed in a companion paper [P. A. Höhn and C. S. P. Wever, Phys. Rev. A 95 (2017) 012102] where an additional rule eliminates the rebit case. This approach is inspired by (but does not rely on) the relational interpretation and yields a novel formulation of quantum theory in terms of questions.

This research needs to be conducted since the result can become a formative evaluation for lecturers in teaching English for the freshmen. The method used in this reserach is a qualitative-descriptive method, supported by simple quantitative calculation. The data were taken from students’ mid term examination. The mid term examination included multiple choice, cloze procedure and composition or writing test. In writing test, the students were asked to write a one-paragrah composition. There were 6 (six) classes participaed in the test. One class was randomly taken as a sample A Target Modification Taxonomy by James (1998)  is used to analyze and describe the errors. It analyzes what types of errors made most by the subject of this study. It was found that the most commonly made interlanguage errors by the freshmen  are omission.Key words:  Error analysis; Interlanguage; Target Modification Taxonomy; ANALISA KESALAHAN INTERLANGUAGE: EVALUASI FORMATIF UNTUK MAHASISWA TAHUN PERTAMAAbstrakArtikel ini bertujuan untuk menemukan kesalahan interlanguage yang dibuat oleh mahasiswa baru atau tahun pertama Jurusan Bahasa Inggris Universitas Negeri Padang.

          The application of organic fertilizer and crop rotation are combination of cultivation system integrally to preserve land fertility. This study aimed to determine the effect of crop residues produced in the first season to reduce organic fertilizer rate for mustard greens cultivation in the second season. The experiment was conducted at IPB organic farm, Cikarawang, Darmaga in April until June 2015. The first season was the first experiment conducted separately for soybean and corn to study different manure types for both crops which the rate of each manure was 20 ton ha-1 for soybean and 25 ton ha-1 for corn. Soybean and corn residues were used in the following season on mustard green cultivation. The experimental design was split plot design with crop residues as main plot, and combination of manure types (chicken, cow, goat) and rates (0, 10 ton ha-1) as sub plot. Data were analyzed using variance. Means were statistically compared with Tukey test at α < 0.05 level. The results showed that the soybean and corn residues can be used as nutrient sources for mustard greens cultivation. The application of manure was not necessary for mustard greens cultivation if soybean or corn residues were added in the second season and there was residues from manure in the first season.

Knowledge of the magnitude of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance in the selection of desirable characters could assist the plant breeders in ascertaining criteria to be used in the breeding programmes. Twenty three introgressed oil palm progenies were evaluated at the Specialized Centre for Oil Palm Research of Cameroon, from 2004 to 2014 to estimate performance, genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance of oil yield and some economic traits in terms to select new oil palm parent materials with the traits of interest. The results revealed high variability among oil palm population for all the characters. Moderate estimates of the phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variations associated with high heritability and moderate genetic advance as percent of mean were obtained for characters of fresh fruit bunch, bunch number, oil yield, kernel to bunch, kernel to fruit, kernel yield and height increment. The results suggest the effectiveness of selection method for these traits and their improvement through their phenotypic performance. LM11087T x LM2749D and LM12960T x LM7409D were obtained as superior oil palm crossing parents with the potential production of 6.26 ton ha-1yr-1 of crude palm oil; they can be exploited in seed production and further breeding program.

As cozinhas domésticas recentemente tem sido ressignificadas em função de aspectos arquitetônicos e midiáticos que lhes destinam a função de espetacularização da preparação de alimentos, silenciando sobre diversas dimensões associadas ao cozinhar. Para problematizar este quadro, o objetivo aqui é identificar e analisar os territórios da cozinha sob a ótica de empregadas domésticas, o que foi feito a partir do método indutivo com base em um estudo qualitativo de caráter descritivo, no qual foi usada a fotoelicitação para a coleta de dados e a análise do discurso para tratar das falas de empregadas domésticas. Os principais resultados sugerem territórios marcados em função de diferentes elementos. Encontramos diferentes formas de apropriação e diferentes argumentos que as sustentam, como a “cozinha de verdade”, em que cozinhar se relaciona a uma obrigação, e a um cotidiano muitas vezes de melancolia e tristeza; a “cozinha moderna” como espaço de status social e distinção; a “cozinha bem montada” enquanto espaço de prazer e alegria; e a “cozinha como vitrine”, possibilitando a autopromoção por meio da exposição. As empregadas domésticas buscaram se afastar de algumas imagens e se aproximar de outras, como se tentassem compreender qual o território que se assemelhava às suas vivências e desejos. As principais implicações do estudo apontam a necessidade de politizar espaços aparentemente neutros, como a cozinha, e encará-los também sob a ótica de produção social de desigualdades de raça, de gênero e de trabalho, ampliando os diálogos no campo dos estudos organizacionais.
DISCURSOS SOBRE LA DIFERENCIA: LO MODERNO Y LO BARROCO EN LA GESTIÓN DE ORGANIZACIONES COLOMBIANAS EN LA REGIÓN DE CAUCA

El objetivo de esta investigación consistió en comprender cómo es manejada la diferencia en la gestión organizacional-entre la modernidad de la gestión y lo barroco de la dinámica social-, en un contexto cultural fuertemente influenciado por la tradición afro, desde la comprensión de los aspectos sociológicos, psicológicos e histórico-culturales; autores del pensamiento latinoamericano, como Eduardo Ibarra Colado y Bolívar Echeverría, dan visibilidad a estas contradicciones. El estudio empírico fue desarrollado en dos organizaciones de la región del Cauca, Colombia, diseñado como una etnografía enfocada, en la que participaron los dirigentes y los operarios. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa, cuyos datos fueron recolectados durante el año de 2015 por medio de la entrevista a profundidad, la observación al participante y la revisión bibliográfica-documental. El análisis fue desarrollado por medio del “Modelo de Análisis del Discurso de Greimas”, que organiza las valoraciones de las personas sobre sus acciones. Como hallazgos principales encontramos que, independiente del tipo de organización, los modelos de gestión no consideran aspectos de la diferencia, gracias a su afán de unificar las subjetividades y, por ello, muchas veces los dirigentes se enfrentan a conflictos. Una contribución adicional es en relación al abordaje de la diferencia desde su construcción histórica, psicosocial y sociológica, como una práctica que deconstruye el proyecto de Modernidad de las organizaciones.
Urban Agriculture: Search for Agricultural Practice in Urbanized Rural Areas

Rapid urbanization in developing countries involves unplanned migration, unemployment and poverty. The steady shrinking of rural areas and the use of agricultural land for other purposes are progressively increasing the pressure on natural resources. This development on the one hand increases the risk to food security, and on the other triggers climate change. The rural population who migrate to the cities or who are absorbed into urban areas continue their agricultural activities in the urban in order to provide themselves with an income or to maintain their food security. In the big cities of the developed world, contact with nature is kept by means of hobby gardens, recreational areas and urban and suburban plant and animal farming, and creative ideas such as roof gardens can be found. This development, known as urban agriculture, is practiced by 800 million people in the world. Urban agriculture has many economic, social and environmental benefits, but it may also have risks and adverse effects. In this study, the developments in this area in Turkey and the world are presented, and all aspects of its effects and outcomes are discussed.
