Authors: Chernikova N. V.
Published: January 2020

One of the most important tasks of a teacher in a modern school is to form linguoculturological competence among students, i.e. attitude to the word as a cultural phenomenon and a spiritual and moral phenomenon. In the lessons of the school course of the Russian language, it is important to show students that the word is the bearer and keeper of the spiritual culture of the people. For this purpose, it is necessary to analyze keywords – symbols of national culture, for example, in the process of working on a linguoculturological project, which includes the following stages: drawing up a lexicographic portrait of a word; analysis of various texts – fiction, journalistic, popular science, etc., containing cultural studies information that is associated with the object of study; work with art sources: paintings, musical works, etc. related to the object of study. The article shows how, in the lessons of the Russian language from linguoculturological positions, you can explore the word birch in the whole variety of its meanings and uses. The result of the joint research activities of students and teachers should be a linguoculturological project on the theme «A birch tree as a symbol of Russia», which includes the following «pages»: lexicographic, etymological, word-forming, phraseological, folklore, literary, art history, cultural.

Authors: Aditama Wiranda Bayu , Sadhu Satya
Published: January 2020

Students’ autonomy toward teacher during the learning activities leads one-way learning. Consequently, students have less autonomy in the learning activities. Therefore, this research adressed to implement the media computer based instruction (simulation model) in improving the students’ autonomy in a science learning. The total participants in this research were 79 of the 4th grade students from a purposively primary schools during the first semester of 2018. They were divided into two groups, namely the experimental group (n=55) and the control group (n=24). The research used a pre-test post-test quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design. The students’ autonomy data were collected by using the observation sheet for each of post-test and pre-test which consisted of five aspects i.e. motivation, initiative, confidence, discipline, and responsibility. The independent sample t-test was used statistically to compare the average score of the students’ autonomy during the pre-test and post-test. The collected data were analyzed by using SPSS 11.0 statistics program. The findings of the research indicated that computer based instruction (simulation model) affects the students’ autonomy significantly in the science learning. Thus, the researcher believes in the further study, the computer based instructions (simulation model) can be intergrated with the model or method in the learning activity to improve the students’ autonomy in learning science.

The supernumerary rubber hand illusion revisited: perceived duplication of limbs and visuotactile events
Authors: Fan Chenggui , Ehrsson H. Henrik
Published: January 2020

A controversial and unresolved issue in cognitive neuroscience is whether humans can experience supernumerary limbs as part of their own body. Some previous experiments have claimed that it is possible to elicit supernumerary hand illusions based on modified versions of the rubber hand illusion. However, other studies have provided conflicting results that suggest that only one rubber hand can be perceived as one’s own. To address this issue, we developed a supernumerary hand illusion paradigm that allowed us to disambiguate ownership of individual rubber hands from simultaneous ownership of two fake hands. In our setup, the participant’s real right hand was hidden under a platform, while two identical right rubber hands were placed in parallel on top of the platform in direct view of the participant. We applied synchronous strokes to both rubber hands and the real hand (SS), synchronous strokes to one rubber hand and the real hand and asynchronous strokes to the other model hand (AS and SA) or asynchronous strokes to both fake hands in relation to the real hand (AA). Our results demonstrate that a genuine illusion of owning two rubber hands can be elicited and that such a supernumerary hand illusion can be isolated from the sense of ownership of a single rubber hand both in terms of questionnaire ratings and threat-evoked skin conductance responses (SCRs). These findings advance our knowledge about the dynamic flexibility and fundamental constraints of body representation and emphasize the importance of correlated afferent signals for causal inference in body ownership.

Chaotic Libyan Arab Spring: A comparison with Egypt
Authors: Gul Mufti Almas
Published: January 2020

Libyan spring occurred due to many reasons which were quite similar in nature with that of the spring struck neighboring countries. Qaddafis family and tribe wealth increased many folds. Human rights abuses were normal patterns. However, Libyan spring didnt end as it did in the neighboring countries. Due to Qaddafis deposition, the power vacuum resulted. This was because of the abhorring of Institutions by Qaddafi himself. The tribal division also resulted in achaotic situation. Large reserves of oil in Libya are also one of the reasons for the never-ending civil strife. Due to high revenue, every group wants to establish hold over the reserves. Libyas rivalry with Israel is also accredited as one of the rationales behind Libyas anarchic situation. Neighboring countries are also playing a big role in the civil war. Libyan revolution resulted in chaos, while the neighboring countries got on the track of somewhat stability and peace.
A Feminist Stylistic Analysis of Characterisation in Doris Lessings A Woman on a Roof
Authors: Qayyum Abdul , Rahman Mujib , Nisar Henna Gul
Published: January 2020

In her book Feminist Stylistics, Sara Mills (1995) argues that characters in texts are not simulacra of humans. They are merely words which represent men and women in accordance with stereotypes that are found in society. This study takes up D. Lessings short story A Woman on a Roof (1963/1990) and looks at the characterisation in it by using Mills model (1995) at the level of discourse. The aim of the study is to find out whether the representation of male and female characters in this story is gendered or not. The results of the study show that female characters are represented negatively while the male characters are represented positively. On the basis of these findings, it is recommended that these representational practices need to change in order to bring about a change in the thinking of the people.

Knowledge Hiding and Creativity in Higher Education Institutes: Understanding the Contingent Role of Perceived Supervisory Support
Authors: Samdani Hina , Ali Bakhtiar , Kamal Nida
Published: January 2020

In higher education institutes, knowledge sharing is part and parcel for the success of the individuals and institutions. However, there are a number of instances where employees are found to be indulged in knowledge hiding. This paper explores this novel construct by targeting permanently faculty of private and semi-private higher education institutes of Pakistan. Theorizing on social learning and exchange theory, this study proposes that employees are indulged in knowledge hiding which sensitizes a reciprocal loop of distrust among colleagues and as a consequence the target is later also reluctant to share the required information. This finally leads to decreasing the creativity of the hider too. Furthermore, it has been proposed that perceived supervisory support can play an important role in decreasing the negative effects of knowledge hiding on the creativity of the hider. Implications and recommendations for future research prospects in the said area are also highlighted
Rise of the Erg—Paleontology and paleoenvironments of the Triassic-Jurassic transition in Northeastern Utah
Authors: Britt Brooks , Chure Daniel
Published: January 2020

This field trip focuses on the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic transition in northeastern Utah. This transition records one of the most striking terrestrial environmental transformations in the history of North America, wherein the fluvio-lacustrine Chinle Formation is transgressed by the vast erg system of the Nugget (Wingate+Navajo)/Navajo/Aztec Sandstones. Exposures in northeastern Utah are ideal for studying this transition as they are closely spaced and accessible. The uppermost Chinle Formation beds are lacustrine/fluvial fine-grained sediments which are overlain by increasingly drier, sandy, transitional beds. The non-eolian basal beds of the Nugget Sandstone preserve a Late Triassic ichnofauna, with some sites including Brachychirotherium tracks. Large-scale dune deposits comprise most of the Nugget Sandstone and contain vertebrate (Brasilichnium) tracks and a diverse invertebrate ichnofauna. Interdunal, carbonate, spring mounds, as much as 3 m tall, fed carbonate freshwater lake deposits containing gastropod body fossils and invertebrate ichnofossils. Another lacustrine deposit, located at the Saints & Sinners Quarry, is on the shoreline of a non-carbonate interdunal lake/oasis. Over 11,500 bones have been collected from the site and represent two theropod dinosaur taxa, sphenodonts, sphenosuchians, a pterosaur, and drepanosaurs (with many complete, three-dimensional, articulated skeletons). In addition to bones, dinosaur trackways are also preserved in shoreline and other interdunal beds. The fauna shows that this interdunal area of the Nugget Sandstone was the site of intense biological activity. The drepanosaurs are chronologically significant in that they are restricted globally to the Late Triassic, indicating that at least the lower one-fourth to one-third of the formation is Late Triassic in age.
Late Cretaceous stratigraphy and vertebrate faunas of the Markagunt, Paunsaugunt, and Kaiparowits plateaus, southern Utah
Authors: Titus Alan , Eaton Jeffrey , Sertich Joseph
Published: January 2020

The Late Cretaceous succession of southern Utah was deposited in an active foreland basin circa 100 to 70 million years ago. Thick siliciclastic units represent a variety of marine, coastal, and alluvial plain environments, but are dominantly terrestrial, and also highly fossiliferous. Conditions for vertebrate fossil preservation appear to have optimized in alluvial plain settings more distant from the coast, and so in general the locus of good preservation of diverse assemblages shifts eastward through the Late Cretaceous. The Middle and Late Campanian record of the Paunsaugunt and Kaiparowits Plateau regions is especially good, exhibiting common soft tissue preservation, and comparable with that of the contemporaneous Judith River and Belly River Groups to the north. Collectively the Cenomanian through Campanian strata of southern Utah hold one of the most complete single region terrestrial vertebrate fossil records in the world.
Tracking dinosaurs in BLM canyon country, Utah

Published: January 2020

Although only recognized as a discrete stratigraphic unit since 1944, the Cedar Mountain Formation represents tens of millions of years of geological and biological history on the central Colorado Plateau. This field guide represents an attempt to pull together the results of recent research on the lithostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, and biostratigraphy of these medial Mesozoic strata that document the dynamic and complex geological history of this region. Additionally, these data provide a framework by which to examine the history of terrestrial faunas during the final breakup of Pangaea. In fact, the medial Mesozoic faunal record of eastern Utah should be considered a keystone in understanding the history of life across the northern hemisphere. Following a period of erosion and sediment bypass spanning the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary, sedimentation across the quiescent Colorado Plateau began during the Early Cretaceous. Thickening of these basal Cretaceous strata across the northern Paradox Basin indicate that salt tectonics may have been the predominant control on deposition in this region leading to the local preservation of fossiliferous strata, while sediment bypass continued elsewhere. Thickening of overlying Aptian strata west across the San Rafael Swell provides direct evidence of the earliest development of a foreland basin with Sevier thrusting that postdates geochemical evidence for the initial development of a rain shadow.
Vertebrate paleontology, stratigraphy, and paleohydrology of Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument, Nevada (USA)
Authors: Springer Kathleen , Pigati Jeffrey , Scott Eric
Published: January 2020

Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument (TUSK) preserves 22,650 acres of the upper Las Vegas Wash in the northern Las Vegas Valley (Nevada, USA). TUSK is home to extensive and stratigraphically complex groundwater discharge (GWD) deposits, called the Las Vegas Formation, which represent springs and desert wetlands that covered much of the valley during the late Quaternary. The GWD deposits record hydrologic changes that occurred here in a dynamic and temporally congruent response to abrupt climatic oscillations over the last ~300 ka (thousands of years). The deposits also entomb the Tule Springs Local Fauna (TSLF), one of the most significant late Pleistocene (Rancholabrean) vertebrate assemblages in the American Southwest. The TSLF is both prolific and diverse, and includes a large mammal assemblage dominated by Mammuthus columbi and Camelops hesternus. Two (and possibly three) distinct species of Equus, two species of Bison, Panthera atrox, Smilodon fatalis, Canis dirus, Megalonyx jeffersonii, and Nothrotheriops shastensis are also present, and newly recognized faunal components include micromammals, amphibians, snakes, and birds. Invertebrates, plant macrofossils, and pollen also occur in the deposits and provide important and complementary paleoenvironmental information. This field compendium highlights the faunal assemblage in the classic stratigraphic sequences of the Las Vegas Formation within TUSK, emphasizes the significant hydrologic changes that occurred in the area during the recent geologic past, and examines the subsequent and repeated effect of rapid climate change on the local desert wetland ecosystem.
A preliminary report of the fossil mammals from a new microvertebrate locality in the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation, Grand County, Utah
Authors: Davis Brian , Cifelli Richard , Rougier Guillermo
Published: January 2020

The first Mesozoic mammals in North America were discovered in the Morrison Formation during the closing decades of the 19th century, as by-products of dinosaurs quarried by teams led by O.C. Marsh. These tiny fossils served as foundational specimens for our understanding of Mesozoic mammal evolution. There are now nearly 25 mammal-bearing localities known from the Morrison Formation, distributed across the Western Interior from the Black Hills to southern Colorado and west into Utah; the most historically important of these are in Wyoming (e.g., Como Quarry 9). Most Morrison mammals are known by jaws or jaw fragments, and several important Mesozoic groups (e.g., docodonts, dryolestoids, and to a large extent triconodonts and symmetrodonts) were established based on Morrison material, shaping the perception of mammalian diversity on a global scale. Despite heavy sampling of coeval sites elsewhere, the Morrison remains the most systematically diverse (at high taxonomic levels) assemblage of Jurassic mammals in the world. Here, we describe two mammalian specimens and highlight other remains yet to be fully identified from a new microvertebrate locality in the Morrison Formation of eastern Grand County, Utah. The site is positioned low in the Brushy Basin Member and is similar in lithology and stratigraphic level to the famous small vertebrate localities of the Fruita Paleontological Area, located less than 50 km to the northeast. In addition to small archosaurs and squamates, limited excavation to date has yielded at least 20 mammalian specimens representing a minimum of six taxa, several of which are new and quite different from typical Morrison taxa. Preservation is generally excellent and includes partially articulated cranial and postcranial elements of small vertebrates. This new site has great potential to contribute new taxa and more complete morphological data than typical Morrison localities, underscoring the importance of continued field work in the Morrison.

La presente revisión describe las características generales de la familia Filoviridae, etiología, fisiopatología y epidemiología implicadas en su patogenia sobre la población humana y se centra principalmente en el virus del Ébola, de gran importancia epidemiológica, ya que ha causado la muerte de 13 314 personas desde 1976, siendo el brote del 2014-2016 el más grande de la historia con 28 652 casos, representando más del 90% del número total de casos reportados desde el origen de la enfermedad (31 716). La transmisión del virus en los seres humanos puede ocurrir de manera directa a través de fluidos contaminados o de manera indirecta por vía parental o fómites, el período de incubación va de los 2 hasta los 21 días y la sintomatología se divide en 4 fases, una febril con síntomas inespecíficos, otra caracterizada por síntomas gastrointestinales y otras dos con presencia de síntomas críticos. No existe un tratamiento específico para la enfermedad, pero actualmente se están desarrollando vacunas potenciales con efectividad en modelos animales, lo que podría conllevar a un tratamiento eficaz que incremente la supervivencia de los pacientes infectados y a un mejor control epidemiológico.
Los bancos en evolución
Authors: Casilda Béjar Ramón
Published: January 2020

Los bancos se encuentran sufriendo una evolución, que nos obliga a preguntarnos si se corresponde con una evolución propia de tendencias generalizadas o, más bien, una reinvención profunda del negocio, fruto de la crisis financiera de 2008, cuyos impactos han sido de tal calibre y magnitud que, aún hoy, se sienten sus efectos en los desequilibrios macroeconómicos, las finanzas públicas, el sistema bancario, el empresarial y la ciudadanía.

La industria bancaria, pilar fundamental de la economía de mercado y en consecuencia del sistema financiero y la economía mundial, debe hacer frente a competidores inéditos que han surgido con una vigorosa fuerza. Nos referimos a las FinTech y, particularmente, a la BigTech, cuya fuerza reside en su tamaño, innovación y potencia tecnológica, sin olvidar, que tienen la gran ventaja adicional de no estar sujetas a la estricta y exigente regulación bancaria.
"Słowarz" z 1532 roku ze zbiorów Biblioteki Naukowej w Ołomuńcu
Authors: Grobelna-Mazurek Paulina
Published: January 2020

Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest pierwsze wydanie łacińsko-włosko-polsko-niemieckiego słownika z 1532 roku, odkryty niedawno w Bibliotece Naukowej w Ołomuńcu. Jedyny, znany dotąd egzemplarz tego druku, przechowywany w Bibliotece Wyższego Seminarium Duchownego we Włocławku, zaginął po wojnie. Kilka końcowych kart innego woluminu odnalazł w 2014 roku w Budapeszcie Marcin Jakubczyk. Zdefektowany druk ołomuniecki stanowi trzeci niezależny egzemplarz Dictionariusa. W połączeniu z fragmentem budapeszteńskim otwiera pole do badań nad jednym z pierwszych leksykograficznych zabytków języka polskiego, który nie doczekał się jak dotąd naukowego omówienia.

ANALISIS SPASIAL TINGKAT EROSI TANAH DI DAS CILIWUNG HULU
Authors: Nuraida
Published: January 2020

Berkurangnya luasan kawasan hutan yang dijadikan lahan pertanian dan pemukiman di bagian Hulu DAS menyebabkan terjadinya kerusakan sumberdaya alam dan menurunkan fungsi-fungsi hidrologi yang ada di dalam kawasan DAS, seperti meningkatnya lahan kritis, erosi, longsor, dan menurunnya kualitas air sungai. Permasalahan erosi di DAS Ciliwung Hulu salah satunya diakibatkan oleh berkurangnya luasan maupun menurunnya kualitas hutan. Melihat semakin tinggi tingkat kerusakan lingkungan dalam kawasan DAS tersebut, diperlukan suatu upaya/tindakan untuk mencegah semakin tingginya permasalahn erosi. Upaya tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan cara memprediksi tingkat erosi dan memetakan tingkat erosi yang terjadi di kawasan DAS Ciliwung Hulu, sehingga dapat ditentukan pengelolaan yang sesuai untuk setiap kawasan DAS tersebut. Prediski tingkat erosi dengan menggunakan USLE serta sebarannya menggunakan ArcGIS. Penelitian dilakukan di DAS Ciliwung Hulu pada Juni sampai November 2015. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kawasan DAS Ciliwung Hulu telah mengalami erosi dari tingkat Sangat rendah sampai sangat berat. Kawasan dengan kriteria Erosi berat dan sangat berat menunjukkan bahwa kawasan tersebut diperlukan suatu tindakan pengolahan tanah untuk mencegah erosi semakin tinggi.

Published: January 2020

Upaya pengembangan tanaman pinang, penyediaan bibit merupakan salah satu faktor yang menentukan dalam peremajaan dan perluasan areal penanaman pinang. Selama ini perbanyakan pinang dilakukan secara konvensional yang sampai sekarang masih menghadapai banyak kendala. Kendala tersebut antara lain lamanya waktu yang diperlukan untuk perkecambahan dari benih dan rentannya bibit terhadap kondisi lingkungan, serta serangan dari hama dan penyakit khususnya persemaian bibit pinang. Salah satu kegiatan pemeliharaan adalah melakukan pemupukan yang bertujuan untuk menambah unsur hara yang dibutuhkan tanaman. Tanpa adanya penambahan unsur hara melalui pemupukan, pertumbuhan dan perkembangan bibit maka pertumbuhan akan menjadi lambat. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh pupuk organik kascing dan pupuk organik cair TOP G2 terhadap pertumbuhan bibit pinang. Penelitian dilakukan dalam kebun percobaan Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Jabal Ghafur Sigli dari bulan September sampai Desember 2015 dengan menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok pola faktorial melalui tiga ulangan, yaitu faktor pupuk organik kascing dengan taraf: 0 gram polibag-1 (K0), 37,5 gr/polibag-1 (K1), 75,0 gr/polibag-1 (K2) dan 112,5 gr/polibag-1 (K3)yang terdiri dan faktor pupuk organik cair G2 dengan taraf: 0 cc/liter air/polibag (T0), 1 cc/liter air/polibag (T1), 2 cc/liter air/polibag (T2) dan 3 cc/liter air/polibag (T3). Hasil penelitihan menunjukkan pemberian pupuk organik baik kascing maupun cair Top G2 memberikan daya pertumbuhan bibit tanaman pinang pada tinggi tanaman dan perkembangan akar tanaman dengan masing masing takaran jenis pupuk organik kascing terbaik pada 112,5 gr/polibag dan pupuk organik cair Top G2 terbaik pada takaran 4 cc/liter/polibag.

Authors: Fluda-Krokos Agnieszka
Published: January 2020

Edward Chwalewik (1873-1956) is a very important person for Polish culture. He worked many years with books and cultural products and he collected very precious source materials. One of the results of their elaboration is the publication “Polish collections: archives, libraries, offices, galleries, museums and other collections of memorabilia of the past in the homeland and exile” (1916, 1926-1927). The priceless publication is in many cases the only source of information about the once existed collections of cultural heritage. The author, collector and exlibris expert, also included information about provenances. In a few thousand descriptions of various cultural institutions and objects, including the library, recorded ca 300 entries about exlibris – collections and individual signs of books owners. The article presents characteristics of these data and selected examples.
