Authors: Smith Brian L. , Byrne Kristi G. , Copperman Rachel B. , Hennessy Susan M. , Goodall Noah
Published: November 2020

The purpose of this research effort was to investigate the impact of rainfall, at varying levels of intensity, on freeway capacity and operating speeds. Findings were derived from traffic and weather data collected in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia. Light rain (0.01 to 0.25 inches per hour) decreases freeway capacity by 4 to 10 percent. Heavy rain (0.25 inches per hour or greater) decreases freeway capacity by 25 to 30 percent. The presence of rain, regardless of intensity, results in approximately a 3 to 5 percent average decrease in operating speed. The findings indicated that the impact of rain is more significant than currently reported in the Highway Capacity Manual.
Predictors and impact of arts engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic: analyses of data from 19,384 adults in the COVID-19 Social Study
Authors: Mak Hei Wan , Fluharty Meg , Fancourt Daisy
Published: November 2020

Objectives. The global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 heavily affected the arts and creative industries due to the instigation of lockdown measures in the UK and closure of venues. However, it also provided new opportunities for arts and cultural engagement through virtual activities and streamed performances. Yet it remains unclear (i) who was likely to engage with the arts at home during lockdown, (ii) how this engagement differed from patterns of arts engagement prior to COVID-19, and (iii) whether home-based arts engagement was related to people’s ability to cope with their emotions during lockdown. This study was therefore designed to address these questions. Methods. We used data collected in late May from the UK COVID-19 Social Study run by University College London. Multivariate regressions were used for the analysis (N=19,384). Identified confounders included demographic factors, socio-economic position, psychosocial wellbeing and health conditions, adverse events/worries, and coping styles.Results. Four types of home-based arts engagement were identified during the COVID-19 pandemic: digital arts & writing, performing arts, crafts, and reading for pleasure. Our results show that the strongest predictors of the engagement were age, education levels, social support, social network size, and trait emotion-focused or supportive coping styles. In particular, younger adults (aged 18-29), non-keyworkers, people with greater social support, and those with a trait emotion-focused coping style were more likely to have increased arts engagement during lockdown. Arts activities were used as approach and avoidance strategies to help cope with emotions, as well as to help improve self-development. Conclusions. Overall, our study suggests that some people who engaged in the arts during the COVID-19 pandemic were those who typically engage under normal circumstances. However, there were also some heterogeneity across social, cultural and economic groups when comparing normal circumstances and the pandemic. Additionally, this study highlights the value of the arts as coping tools during stressful situations.

Impact of the Memory of Kurofune (Black Ships) on the Course of Industrialization in Early Meiji Japan
Authors: Odanaka Naoki
Published: November 2020

This paper analyzes the impact and influence of the memory of kurofune (black ships), iron-armored battleships of the United States Navy led by Commodore Matthew Perry (1794-1858) that came to Japan in 1853, exerted over the course of industrialization in early Meiji Japan, which is the period from the Meiji Restoration (1868) to the Sino-Japanese war (1894-5). Using the comparative advantage theory formalized by David Ricardo (1772-1823) as an analytical tool, we consider the arguments of major contemporary Japanese policymakers as the object of analysis. We have three conclusions. First, the economic policy adopted by early Meiji policymakers generally followed the comparative advantage theory. Second, their goal was not the monoculturization of the comparative advantage goods, but the heavy industrialization necessary for avoiding the colonization: export of comparative advantage goods was a means to collect money for it. Third, they regarded the development of transportation-related industries as important because it would hasten the “movement” of men and goods, which would lead to the increased wealth and which was symbolized by the kurofune in the collective memory.
Obstetric factors and pregnancy outcome in placenta previa
Authors: Ojha N
Published: November 2020

Introduction: Placenta previa is one of the major causes for maternal morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to analyze the obstetrical factors associated with placenta previa and to find out the maternal and perinatal outcome of these cases. Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of TUTH. Hospital chart records of four years (1st January 2008 to 31st December 2011) were collected. Chart records of all women who had undergone cesarean section for placenta previa were reviewed. Relevant clinical findings were noted. Results: During the study period, there were 82 cases of cesarean sections done for placenta previa, which is 0.55% of the total deliveries. Of the eighty two cases, charts could be obtained of the 70 patients for the analysis. 21.4% had total placenta previa. Maximum women were in age group 26-30 years. Sixty one percent of the patients were multipara. Sixteen patients had history of cesarean section and 20 cases had abortions in previous pregnancy. Malpresentation was present in more than one fifth (21.4%) of the patient. 45.7% of the babies were preterm and 27% were low birth weight babies. Seven babies had neonatal death. Almost one third (31.4%) of the patient had blood loss ≥500ml. There were four cases with blood loss ≥1000ml. Among them two had loss of more than two liters. Ten patients required blood transfusion. One patient had cesarean hysterectomy. Conclusion: Placenta previa poses danger to both the mother and the baby. There is high maternal morbidity and adverse perinatal outcome.

Wheezing Beyond Bronchial Asthma
Authors: Pant P , Sharma S , Shrestha R , Bom N , Das S , Yogi KN
Published: November 2020

Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is an eosinophil-associated, small vessel granulomatous vaculitis, characterized by late onset asthma, upper airways disease, eosinophilia, and clinical manifestations of systemic vasculitis. [1,11-13] Diagnosis is mainly clinical with findings of asthma, eosinophilia, rhino sinusitis and signs of vasculitis in major organs. So far to the best of our knowledge reporting of CSS has not been done in Nepal. We here present a case of Churg- Strauss syndrome, a Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody(ANCA) Associated Vasculities more specifically perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA) directed against myeloperoxidase (MPO) in a 25years female patient who was initially evaluated for progressive dyspnea, wheeze, cough, joint pain and fever. Regarding the inference drawn from our case report we suggest that patient presenting with the clinical features of asthma needs further evaluation to unmask previously unrecognized underlying Churg-stauss syndrome.

The Propedeutic of the Theory of Judgment in Ancient Philosophy from the Sophists to Plato’s Theaetetus
Authors: Gajda-Krynicka Janina
Published: November 2020

In the ancient epistemology, precisely stated definition of judgment (axioma) appears only in the 3rd century B.C. It was formulated by Chrysippus of Soli, the founder of the Stoic logic. However, on the other hand, the analysis of the extant utterances in which the knowledge had been objectified since the first Greek thinkers, allows us to state that the evolution of the theory of judgment was a long process. In this development, Greek epistemology had to deal with a number of problems connected with the object of the judgment –– knowledge, with the form of its objectification –– predication, and also with the predicates of the true and false judgment –– categories of “truth” (aletheia) and “falsehood” (pseudos). The first definition of the false judgement (logos pseudes) and the true judgment (logos alethes) can be found only in the late dialogue of Plato, Sophist, which delivers precisely established terminology of the theorem. Yet, such a definition could be formulated only when Greek epistemology re-defined the scope of the meaning of the key terms-concepts, aletheia and pseudos. The term-concept aletheia was identified with the term-concept being, functioning in the ontological-axiological sphere. On the other hand, pseudos did not mean false in the sense of negating the truth, but something, which is different than truth, is its imperfect copy. Thus, the pre-Platonic philosophy has not yet formulated the terminology in which predication of something inconsistent with the actual state of being, with the truth, could be verbalized. Often to express such a form of predication, a phrase “to utter things, which are not” was used. The other problem was connected with –– characteristic ofthe Greek language –– dual function of the verb to be/einai, which included both existential and truthful function. Accordingly, every utterance, in which the predicate was the verb einai or its derivates, was ex definitione a true predication –– “it spoke beings (things, which are).” In such a situation, there was noneed in epistemology to precisely define judgment as such, and to state the conditions which the true judgment hadto meet. The problem is definitely solved by Plato in his dialogue Theaetetus, in which the philosopher defines the object of the judgment, which is knowledge (however, its object is not stated yet) and introduces the project of verification of the utterances/opinion, thanks to which an opinion ––doxa can reach the status of judgment ––logos. An opinion needs to be verified with the dialectical procedures.

Balu sering dibeban tanggungjawab mendidik, menafkah dan memberi kasih-sayang kepada anak-anaknya yang berstatus yatim secara bersendirian. Ini adalah isu agama dan kemanusiaan yang perlu diberi perhatian serius. Justeru kajian ini bertujuan bagi mengenal pasti mekanisme perlindungan ibu tunggal dan anak yatim menurut syariat Islam. Data dikumpul dari sumber pustaka dengan memberi fokus terhadap hukum-hakam berkaitan nafaqat yang dianalisis semula secara holistik; iaitu dengan mengaitkannya dengan bab-bab lain seperti wilayat al-nikah dan faraid, selain melihat kepada tafsīr ayat-ayat berkenaan dan hadis-hadis lain yang menyentuh perihal ibu tunggal dan anak yatim pada zaman Nabi SAW sama ada dalam bentuk instruktif atau diskriptif. Hasil kajian mendapati ibu tunggal yang mengalami situasi tersebut sepatutnya dikecualikan daripada beban nafkah. Nafkah anak-anaknya hendaklah ditanggung oleh walinya atau penerima harta pusaka ayahnya menurut turutan asabah. Selain itu, Islam juga menggalakkan masyarakat membantu menjaga golongan ibu tunggal dan anak yatim ini dengan beberapa cara lain.
Kata Kunci: Tanggungjawab nafkah, ibu tunggal, anak yatim, wali nikah, pewaris asabah.
Abstract
Widows are often burdened with the responsibility of educating, supporting and giving love to their orphaned children, all by themselves. This is a religion and humanity issue that needs serious attention. Therefore, this study aims to identify the protective mechanism of single mothers and orphans according to Islamic law. Data were collected from library sources with a focus on holistically re-analyzed nafaqat laws; that is, by relating it to other laws such as wilayat al-nikah and faraid, while closely observing the tafsīr of the Qur’anic verses and hadiths pertaining to the treatment received by single mothers and orphans, either in an instructive or descriptive form. The study found that single mothers who experience the situation should be exempted from the financial burden in raising her orphaned children. The alimony of her orphaned children should be borne by the children’s guardian or the heir of their father, according to inheritance law and order. Apart from that, Islam also encourages the community to help take care of these single mothers and orphans in several other ways.

Dzień Pański w nauczaniu św. Cezarego z Arles w świetle studium jego "Kazań do ludu"
Authors: Pochwat Józef
Published: November 2020

Speaking about the Lord’s Day, saint Caesar of Arles († 543) explains to the faithful the importance of this day and other religious holidays. Going to church has a social dimension and clearly distinguishes Christians from Pagans. Bishop of Arles attaches much importance to the fact that Christians systematically and regularly attend church services, care about punctuality and do not leave the church before the end of the Mass. St Caesar, being an experienced pastor, ins­tructs the faithful how to behave in the church. He shows the difference between Christianity and Paganism. Christians celebrate on Sunday, Pagans on Thursday in honour of Jupiter. He asks the faithful not to conduct any court cases on Sunday and abstain from work. Bishop of Arles put the Eucharist in the centre of the Lord’s Day. He teaches that the Eucharist is true Body and Blood of Christ. He points out that the Holy Communion is like medicine for a human being, for his body and his soul, hence the concern of the Bishop so that faithful receive the Eucharist with a pure heart. A necessary condition for receiving of the Eucharist is to forgive a neighbour.
Hierarchia wartości cesarza Marka Aureliusza na podstawie jego "Rozmyślań"
Authors: Trzebuniak Józef
Published: November 2020

In this article a system of values of Mark Aurelius, the Roman emperor and the philosopher ruling in Rome in 161-188 years, was described. The hierarchy of these values is based on reflections of the „philosopher on the throne” included in his Meditations. In the first part a respect of the emperor was portrayed towards the visible world and the laws of nature which are ruling it. Next an importance of the virtue was emphasized in the view of the author of Meditations as well as how significant was the fulfilment of everyday social duties. In the last part a funda­mental role of the mind and the internal leader-demon was described. According to the thinker nothing is more important than the mind and our actions are entirely under its authority. Mind whereas it is a deity it is the emanation of the universal deity. On that account internal mind must break free from the rule of the sensual impulses and experiences which are merging with the body. In such a way Mark Aurelius applied the Platonic dichotomy to the sto­ical distinguishing and constructed his own hierarchy of values, using reflections of thinkers preceding him.
Id non culpam, sed poenam esse iudicabam (Confessiones VII 3, 5). Niektóre wątpliwości i refleksje św. Augustyna analizującego źródło zła
Authors: Turek Waldemar
Published: November 2020

In light of the distinction Saint Augustine makes between a committed evil, understood as the result of a mistake in choosing (culpa), and a suffered evil, des­cribed as the effect of a just divine judgment (poena) – a distinction he makes in several texts dealing with the origin of evil – I analyze Augustine’s reflections in the Confessions on his relationship with the unnamed women. He calls the rela­tionship a pactum libidinosi amoris, that is, one aimed at satisfying the passions. The negative moral judgment he passes on this stage of his life is expressed with particular poignancy by the word libido/libidinosus, indicating the passions to which man submits at times. Looking back at his affair with the unnamed woman, he considers the evil committed a culpa; hence one has the impression that he wanted to place the moral responsibility of the evil committed upon himself, thus giving greater witness to the goodness of the merciful God who revealed to him gradually the truth concerning the various phases of his spiritual journey and the pain experienced along the way.
Czy Ojcowie Kościoła przed Augustynem mówili o grzechu pierworodnym?
Authors: Przyszychowska Marta
Published: November 2020

It is true that the Fathers of the Church before Augustine did not use the term „original sin”. However, in the writings of very many of them, both in the East and in the West, we do find a belief in the solidarity of all people with Adam or even in the unity of entire humanity in Adam. Talking about the first sin the Fathers use the expression „our” sin; they claim that „we” offended God in Adam, they admit that „we all” were in Adam’s loins when he committed the sin, and finally they straightforwardly claim that „all people” sinned in Adam. Some of them feel personally responsible for the offence committed in Paradise. Most of the Fathers, and perhaps even all of them, were convinced of real unity of entire humanity and they considered participation of all people in Adam’s sin as one of the aspects of that unity. The fall of the first man separated not only himself, but also all people from the communion with God, because every man somehow participated in that fall. And that is, after all, the very essence of the original sin.
Praktykowanie postu w świetle historiografii kościelnej IV-V wieku
Authors: Bralewski Sławomir
Published: November 2020

The ecclesiastical histories of the fourth and the fifth centuries confirm the fasting as a practice popularly observed by the Christians of that time. From the account of the historians one can conclude that fasting combined with prayer was a distinctive feature of Christian piety. From the fourth century the principal prac­tice of abstention from food included the concept of a forty-day fasting period before Easter, i.e. Lent, and additionally the fast practiced two days every week throughout the year, namely each Wednesday and Friday, while the scheme is con­sidered to have its roots in the regulations promoted by the Church authorities of the period. Nonetheless, by the middle of the fifth century the individual churches of the West and the East had not arrived at an unanimous agreement on the length of Lent neither on its form. Moreover, the practice of fasting was also introduced as obligatory for the catechumens before baptism and for the local church com­munities they represented. Additionally, fasting was a must for those repenting their sins. First and foremost, however, a very strict practice of food abstention was observed by the monks of the period.
John Chrysostom’s assessment of drunkenness
Authors: Szczur Piotr
Published: November 2020

Z całą pewnością można stwierdzić, że jednym z najznakomitszych wyra­zicieli starożytnej myśli społecznej był Jan Chryzostom. Jego pełne ekspresji kazania kierowane do wiernych są niezwykłe pod względem nasycenia treścia­mi o charakterze społecznym. Odnajdujemy w nich zarejestrowany obraz cod­ziennego życia społecznego starożytnej Antiochii i Konstantynopola w 2. poł. IV i na początku V wieku. Przedstawione w kazaniach i homiliach obrazy stanowią dowód niezwykłej wnikliwości obserwatora ustosunkowującego się do zjawisk zachodzących w ówczesnym społeczeństwie. W niniejszym opracowaniu postanowiono poddać analizie niektóre homilie Jana Chryzostoma, w których Antiocheńczyk odnosi się do pijaństwa (mšqh), które było istotnym problemem społecznym dotykającym chrześcijan (zwłaszcza mężczyzn). Chryzostom bardzo często występował przeciw nadużywaniu alko­holu, a samo pijaństwo uważał za poważne wykroczenie. Odnosząc się do istoty spożywania posiłków podkreślał, że człowiek nie żyje po to, aby jeść i pić, lecz je po to, aby żyć. W przekonaniu naszego autora pijaństwo jest też przyczyną i źródłem wielu innych wad, grzechów oraz wszelkiego zła pojawiającego się w społeczeństwie. Pijaństwo i obżarstwo rujnują też życie duchowe i są przesz­kodą w zdobywaniu owoców postu, a nawet mogą zniweczyć to, co zostało już zdobyte przez jego praktykowanie. Z tego względu Chryzostom często kreśli w kazaniach negatywny obraz pijaka oraz wzywa swych wiernych do porzucenia pijaństwa i obżarstwa.

One of the key points of tsar Symeon’s political program was achieving au­tocephaly for the Bulgarian church and making its head a Patriarch. It is pos­sible that the archbishop of Bulgaria was proclaimed a Patriarch (913) without Byzantine consent, but the sources only allow for attempting to show that this matter was reflected in the peace treaty concluded after Symeon’s death (927) by Peter, his son.

Tulisan ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan peran sumber daya keagamaan dalam membangun semangat kebangsaan pada warga negara Indonesia yang bermukim pada wilayah perbatasan negara. Tujuan tersebut dijabarkan dalam dua poin permasalahan; bagaimana dinamika kebangsaan pada masyarakat perbatasan dan bagaimana peran sumber daya keagamaan di wilayah tersebut dalam menguatkan paham kebangsaan masyarakat. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif melalui pengamatan, wawancara dan studi dokumen, dengan analisis data deskriptif-analitis dan kritis. Penelitian dilakukan pada wilayah perbatasan darat negara Indonesia-Malaysia di Provinsi Kalimantan Utara, tepatnya di Kabupaten Nunukan, Kecamatan Sebatik Tengah. Tapal batas di wilayah tersebut hanya dipisahkan oleh patok-patok perbatasan yang memungkinkan masyarakat kedua negara untuk saling melintasi batas-batas negara. Demografis masyarakat Sebatik Tengah didominasi oleh etnik Bugis yang kebanyakan eks Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (TKI) di Tawau. Nasionalisme masyarakat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir mengalami peningkatan, namun masih menyisakan beberapa problem, yaitu; adanya masyarakat yang memiliki identitas kewarganegaraan ganda, penggunaan mata uang ringgit, ketergantungan pada produk Malaysia serta minimnya perhatian pemerintah. Penguatan semangat kebangsaan melalui sumber daya keagamaan di Sebatik Tengah dilakukan oleh dua lembaga. Yaitu Yayasan Ar-Rasyid yang melakukan penguatan kebangsaan melalui jalur pendidikan dengan mendirikan Sekolah Tapal Batas yang mendidik anak-anak TKI yang berada di perbatasan. Sumber daya keagamaan lainnya adalah organisasi kepemudaan lintas agama, OM JOKO (Orang Muda BerJoko) yaitu gabungan organisasi remaja mesjid dan pemuda gereja. Organisasi ini mendorong semangat kebangsaan melalui gerakan kerja sama pemuda lintas iman di salah satu dusun di Sebatik Tengah. Berdasarkan temuan penelitian ini, pemerintah pusat perlu memberdayakan sumber daya keagamaan guna membangun semangat kebangsaan masyarakat di perbatasan.

A Compact EES Program to Predict Axial Temperature Distribution in Triple-fluid Heat Exchanger
Authors: Nguyễn Minh Phú
Published: November 2020

In this paper, a simplified mathematical model is presented to predict the axial temperature distribution of fluids in a three-concentric tube heat exchanger. Calculation results are compared with experimental results to confirm accuracy. The objective of the study is to avoid temperature cross which is very likely to be occurred in triple-fluid heat exchangers. Thereby the designer can adjust the design parameters, e.g. geometric parameters of the exchanger, temperatures or fluid flow rates, so that the temperature cross does not occur. The result of calculating a case shows that at the tube length of 21.5 m, the temperature cross occurs between the hot fluid and the intermediate fluid at a certain position. The shorten tube length to 8.5 m yields desirable gain. EES code and calculation procedure in detail are presented in the current study.

The aim of the study was to determine the state of the dogs' immune system in experimental toxocariasis. The work was performed during 2017-2020 at the Department of Parasitology and Ichthyopathology in Stepan Gzhytskyi National University of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnologies Lviv. The 12 dogs aged 2 to 4 months were used for research studies. Two groups were formed of six animals in each: control and experimental. Puppies of the experimental group (E) were infected with the causative agent of toxocariasis at a dose of 5000 invasive eggs of Toxocara canis per kg of body weight. The control puppies were clinically healthy. At the clinical display of toxocariasis invasion at dogs the cellular, humoral and nonspecific links of the immune system are suppressed and the secondary immunodeficiency comes. Suppression of cellular immunity was accompanied by a decrease in the T- and B-lymphocytes count in the blood of dogs of the (E) group, which indicates the suppression of the lymphoid immune system and a reduction in the resistance of animals. Along with the fall in cellular immunity in infected puppies, suppression of the nonspecific immune system was established, which is manifested by a decline in the phagocytic activity of neutrophils and a decrease in the phagocytic index. Thus, on the 15th and 20th days of the test, the phagocytic activity of neutrophils reduced to 1.6 and 3.9 %, while the phagocytic index – to 5.4 and 6.9 %, respectively. In the study of antimicrobial activity of serum of infected dogs, T. canis found inhibition of bactericidal and lysozyme activity, which reflects the suppression of the physiological state of the humoral immune system of animals with the development of toxocariasis. On the 25th day of the research, a deccline in BABS to 24.0 ± 2.7 %, while in the (C) group of dogs this figure was 30.6 ± 1.9 %. The lowest LABS was on the 25th day of the (E) in animals that were experimentally infected with the pathogen toxocariasis, where compared with the (C) group, this figure decreased by 6.0 %, respectively. The high level of CIC in the serum of dogs infected with T. canis indicates the suppression of the immune system of their body due to the accession of specific antibodies to the products of metabolism of toxocara, which act as antigens.

Cohesion is a semantic concept and part of the system of a language. The language can be orally or written. One of the indicators of good discourse (written) is having good cohesion and coherence aspect. This study is entitled Lexical Cohesion Analysis on Scopus-Indexed-Journal entitled “A New Control Method for Power based on Dynamic Evolution Control“. The aim of this study is to identify and describe the lexical cohesion in the Scopus-indexed article journal. This study is a qualitative research. The data sources in this study an article Scopus indexed-journal was obtained by purposive sampling. Furthermore, analysis of the data was done by identifying and classifying the data that related to cohesion, based on the theory of Halliday and Hasan (1976) and also analyzing used Spradley (1980). Based on the analysis, it was found five things related to cohesion and coherence. First, lexical cohesion devices which are used consist of repetition, synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, and meronymy. The most frequent lexical cohesion used is repetition. Therefore, it can be of an interest to the (future) writer or researcher who are involved in writing journal. The study concludes that lexical cohesion determines writers’ tones in writing article and this ultimately contributes significantly enough in constructing persuasion and strong desire to persuade editorial boards of the journal to accept the article. It has also been highlighted that the findings of this study could be broaden in grammatical cohesion, and also be beneficial to researchers and ESL/EFL learners especially in persuasive and academic writing. Those aspects and factors can be considered to certain paper or journal article whether rejected or accepted in Scopus-indexed journal.

Published: November 2020

The experiment was conducted at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka with the financial support of SAURES (Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Research System) to study the possibility of growing quinoa in Bangladesh with different sowing dates having two cultivars. The experiment comprised of two factors; Factor A: Cultivar (2) viz., Titicaca (C1) and Vikinga (C2) and Factor B: Sowing date (5) viz. November -10 (S1), December -10 (S2), January -10 (S3), February -10 (S4) and March -10(S5). The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications. Results revealed that different growth parameters, yield attributes and yield were significantly varied with different sowing dates. At harvest, the tallest plant height (63.75 cm), highest seed yield (0.77 t ha-1) and straw yield (0.89 t ha-1) was found from Titicaca but the higher number of branches plant-1 (17.71) from Vikinga. The tallest plant height (62.54 cm), highest branch number plant-1 (22.82), longest inflorescence (29.62 cm), highest 1000-seed weight (2.56 g), seed yield (1.09 t ha-1), straw yield (1.25 t ha-1) and harvest index (46.58%) was exhibited by November -10 sowing. The interaction effect of Titicaca sown in November -10 (C1S1) resulted the highest plant height at harvest (72.83 cm), branches plant-1 (25.20), 1000-seed weight (2.58 g), seed yield (1.16 t ha-1) and straw yield (1.33 t ha-1) but the highest inflorescence length (31.46 cm) and harvest index (47.02%) from C2S2 (Vikinga sown in December – 10). From the above results it can be concluded that quinoa – as a new crop is suitable to cultivate in Rabi season of Bangladesh with a complete agronomic management package.

Published: November 2020

En Ecuador, el aumento de la cantidad de crudo pesado extraído genera preocupación en la industria. Debido a su naturaleza viscosa, presenta dificultades en el transporte y en la refinación. El objetivo de este proyecto es el estudio de la reducción de viscosidad de un crudo pesado, extraído del Oriente Ecuatoriano mediante el uso de compuestos dispersantes y disolventes de asfaltenos, para ser transportado dentro de un oleoducto. Para ello, se selecciona y clasifica a los reductores de viscosidad que tienen un efecto disolvente, dispersante o inhibidor de asfaltenos, por medio de sus espectros FT-IR resultantes. Se analiza el cambio de propiedades físicas y químicas del crudo con los reductores seleccionados por medio de cuatro pruebas: a) prueba para determinar la viscosidad; b) análisis S.A.R.A.; c) prueba de oliensis; d) prueba para determinar la gravedad API. Finalmente, se realiza la evaluación de la facilidad del transporte de crudo en un banco de pruebas de tuberías que presenta comportamientos similares al transporte del crudo por un oleoducto. Por medio de la clasificación y selección de los reductores, se escoge a los tres aditivos usados para las pruebas: M01-X, M02-A y M03-S. Se clasifica, a los dos primeros como disolventes de asfaltenos y el último como dispersante de asfaltenos. En la evaluación del cambio de propiedades del crudo el mejor resultado se obtiene con el aditivo “M01-X” con un porcentaje de reducción de viscosidad de 65,0 % y aumento del caudal del crudo de 1,24 a 2,01 (mL/s). Como alternativa y mejor resultado a este reductor se usó una mezcla formada por dos aditivos (M02-A + M03-S) con un porcentaje de reducción de viscosidad de 69,0 % y un aumento de caudal a 2,72 (mL/s).

Para mejorar la competitividad regional y nacional de Chile, se creó en 2018 un programa de fortalecimiento del emprendimiento escolar en la región de Tarapacá, extremo norte de Chile, denominado Tarapacá Labs School. A través del programa planificado en siete sesiones, se trabajó desde la inspiración de los estudiantes a emprender hasta la generación de un prototipo y la defensa del mismo a través de un pitch. En el presente estudio, se analizan los resultados de un torneo escolar desarrollado durante el 2019 donde participaron tres establecimientos educacionales en simultáneo con una muestra de 77 estudiantes, con el objetivo de verificar avances en uno o más aspectos emprendedores de los participantes. Basado en una investigación estadística de los resultados de la medición de la autoevaluación de las Características Emprendedoras Personales (CEP’s), se evidencia que el grupo de la muestra tiende a equiparar las valoraciones obtenidas de sus características emprendedoras, pero que al analizar por separado a quienes trabajaron en una sesión especial se evidencian variaciones relevantes. Se sugiere que gracias al trabajo personalizado en cada uno de ellos es posible potenciar o atenuar algunas características.
Period Study Accuracy Prediction using Sequential Minimal Optimization Algorithm
Authors: Noviyanto Hendri , Mukti Bayu
Published: November 2020

The study period is quite influential in the assessment of a university. The imbalance in the ratio of students to lecturers causes the quality of teaching and learning to decline, this is because one lecturer has to manage many students. Acquisition of accreditation scores and society's assumptions about higher education are also strongly influenced by the number of student graduations on time. Therefore, the prediction of the accuracy of the study period is needed as consideration for related parties to solve the problem of student learning delay. Sources of data in this study were taken from a database stored at the University of Surakarta, namely the Temporary Achievement Index with data of 209 instances and 5 attributes. The proposed method in this study is the Sequential Minimal Optimization algorithm. The validation method uses k-fold Cross-Validation with a value of K = 10. This method is compared with other methods such as naive Bayes, KNN, and Decision Tree. The results of this study, the proposed method can predict the accuracy of the study period quite well with the acquisition of accuracy of 88.52%. However, several other methods such as NaiveBayes obtained better accuracy of 90.91%, KNN of 91.86%, and Decision Tree of 96.65%. From the results of the comparison of these methods, the Decision Tree obtained the highest accuracy value. In future studies, researchers aim to enrich features in the prediction process. These features are related to student activities, such as student backgrounds, social activities, additional activities on campus and off-campus, and other aspects.
Dickens's ‘School Of Affliction’: Learning from Death inNicholas NicklebyandThe Old Curiosity Shop
Authors: McAllister David
Published: November 2020

This essay reads death scenes in Dickens's early novels as contributions to a wider reformist drive (evidenced in discourses of burial, urban, and sanitary reform) to clean up the nation's ways of thinking about mortality, each of which relied upon the careful policing of sense data surrounding corpses, graves, and deathbeds. In doing so, it seeks to expand our sense of why Dickens adopted a sentimental mode in both Nicholas Nickleby (1838–9) and The Old Curiosity Shop (1840–1), arguing that it derived not just from a desire to provoke emotional responses in readers, but spoke to his interest in association psychology as the mechanism by which both ideas and minds were constructed. It thus argues for Dickens's deathbed scenes as sites of literary experiment: attempts to recruit narrative fiction's affective and psychological power for the causes of aesthetic and social transformation.
