Published: January 2020

Background and Objectives: When children accidentally ingest foreign bodies, they may be unable to communicate adequately; it is often difficult to identify the causative foreign body unless someone is watching over them. In such instances, to identify the causative foreign body during clinical practice, we aimed to determine if it varies according to age. Materials and Methods: From April 2013 to June 2018, 252 records of pediatric patients with a confirmed diagnosis of foreign-body ingestion were retrospectively examined in a Japanese university hospital. Comparisons among multiple age groups, according to type of ingested foreign body, were analyzed using Kruskal‒Wallis tests. The differences between the individual data were tested using the Steel‒Dwass test. Results: The median age of the patients was 15 months, and of the total patients, 140 were boys (55.5%). The types of foreign bodies ingested were as follows, in order of frequency: cigarettes (n = 44, 17%, median age: 12 months), plastics (n = 43, 17%, median age: 11 months), chemicals (n = 27, 11%, median age: 13 months), internal medicines (n = 26, 10%, median age: 33 months), and metals (n = 26, 10%, median age: 35 months). The median age was significantly different among the types of causative foreign bodies (p < 0.01). The patient age for the ingestion of cigarettes was significantly younger than that for ingesting metals or coins. The age for ingesting internal medicines was significantly older than that for ingesting plastics, cigarettes, paper, or chemicals (p < 0.01). Conclusions: The causative foreign body ingested differed according to age. This will be valuable information for physicians that encounter pediatric patients who may have ingested an unknown foreign body in Japanese pediatric emergency or general practice settings.

Authors: Calissendorff Jan , Falhammar Henrik
Published: January 2020

Objective: levothyroxine prescriptions have increased remarkably during the last decade, and it is most likely to be prescribed in subclinical hypothyroidism. The aim of this review was to present data on when levothyroxine treatment should be initiated, and the effects of treatment in subclinical hypothyroidism on symptoms such as weight, quality of life, vitality, cognition, and cardiovascular disease. We also discuss evidence for different thyroid-hormone medications. In addition, the option to withhold medication when there is uncertain diagnosis or lack of clinical improvement is discussed. Methods: a literature search in PubMed on the term “treatment of subclinical hypothyroidism” in combination with “quality of life”, “weight”, “cognition”, and “cerebrovascular disease”. Results: current research supports that levothyroxine should be initiated in patients with a thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) >10 mIU/L. Treatment for hypothyroidism is becoming more frequent. Symptoms related to vitality, weight, and quality of life in subclinical disease often persist with levothyroxine treatment, and other causes should be explored. Patients with cardiovascular-risk factors may benefit from treatment, especially younger patients. Caution is necessary when treating elderly subjects with levothyroxine. Conclusion: lifelong treatment with levothyroxine should normally only be considered in manifest hypothyroidism. However, in subclinical hypothyroidism with a TSH >10 mIU/L, therapy is indicated. In milder subclinical forms, a wait-and-see strategy is advocated to see if normalization occurs. Subgroups with cardiovascular risk and subclinical hypothyroidism may benefit from levothyroxine therapy.

The use of aluminum alloy AA2024-T4 (Russian designation D16T) in applications requiring a high strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance such as aircraft fuselage often demands the control and modification of surface properties. A promising route to surface conditioning of Al alloys is laser treatment. In the present work, the formation of ripples and conical microstructures under scanning with femtosecond (fs) laser pulses was investigated. Laser treatment was performed using 250 fs pulses of a 1033 nm Yb:YAG laser. The fluence of the pulses varied from 5 to 33 J/cm2. The scanning was repeated from 1 to 5 times for different areas of the sample. Treated areas were evaluated using focused ion beam (FIB)- scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging and sectioning, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and confocal laser profilometry. The period of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) and the average spacing of conical microstructures were deduced from SEM images by FFT. Unevenness of the treated areas was observed that is likely to have been caused by ablation debris. The structural and elemental changes of the material inside the conical microstructures was revealed by FIB-SEM and EDX. The underlying formation mechanisms of observed structures are discussed in this paper.

Published: January 2020

Metal matrix syntactic foams (MMSF) are foam composites obtained by filling hollow and/or porous particles into a metal matrix. MMSF are promising materials in defense, aerospace, automotive, marine and engineering applications. Mechanical and physical properties of MMSF can be tailored to reach better structural and/or functional behaviors by fitting processing and tailoring parameters. Some of these parameters are: reinforcement size, volume fraction, distribution of reinforcements and chemical composition. Three techniques are available to manufacture MMSF: Stir casting/vortex method (SC), powder metallurgy (P/M) and infiltration routes. Infiltration process is by far the main employed for making MMSF, it allows a large range of reinforcement (30 vol % to 78 vol %) and offers great advantages compared to other techniques. This paper reviews infiltration routes used to date, their advantages and drawbacks, the main processing parameters of each route, and a relation of representative studies developed to date on the synthesizing of MMSF by molten infiltration processes.

In Gabon, terrestrial mammals of protected areas have been identified as a possible source of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Some studies on antibiotic resistance in bats have already been carried out. The main goal of our study was to detect extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) that are produced by enterobacteria from bats in the Makokou region in Gabon. Sixty-eight fecal samples were obtained from 68 bats caught in the forests located 1 km from the little town of Makokou. After culture and isolation, 66 Gram-negative bacterial colonies were obtained. The double-disk diffusion test confirmed the presence of ESBLs in six (20.69%) Escherichia coli isolates, four (13.79%) Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates, and one (3.45%) Enterobacter cloacae isolate. The analysis based on the nucleotide sequences of the ESBL resistance genes showed that all cefotaximase-Munichs (CTX-Ms) were CTX-M-15 and that all sulfhydryl variables (SHVs) were SHV-11: 41.67% CTX-M-15-producing E. coli, 16.67% CTX-M-15+SHV-11-producing E. coli, 8.33% CTX-M-15-producing K. pneumoniae, 25% CTX-M-15+SHV-11-producing K. pneumoniae, and 8.33% CTX-M-15-produced E. cloacae. This study shows for the first time the presence of multiresistant ESBL-producing enterobacteria in fruit bats in Makokou.
Polypyrrole Chains Decorated on CoS Spheres: A Core-Shell Like Heterostructure for High-Performance Microwave Absorption

Published: January 2020

Cobalt sulfide composites have exhibited great potential in terms of microwave absorption, owing to their low price, relatively high capacitance, and excellent electrocatalytic activity. Thus, a novel core-shell like structure comprising cobalt sulfide@polypyrrole (CoS@PPy) composite was synthesized by a facile solvothermal synthesis method and in situ polymerization. When coated by the heterostructure polypyrrole aerogel, CoS@PPy composite exhibited excellent microwave absorption properties with an optimal reflection loss (RL) of −41.8 dB at 6.96 GHz. Furthermore, the absorption bandwidth (RL < −10 dB) of 5.4 GHz could be reached at a coating thickness of 2.05 mm, probably attributing to the synergistic effect of good impedance matching, interfacial polarization, dipole polarization, and conductivity loss. Moreover, this work proposed a loss mechanism mode which probably occurred in the CoS@PPy composites. It was demonstrated that the CoS@PPy composite is a promising material in the field of electromagnetic wave absorption.
On the Non-Local Surface Plasmons’ Contribution to the Casimir Force between Graphene Sheets
Authors: Francescato Yan , Pocock Simon R. , Giannini Vincenzo
Published: January 2020

Herein we demonstrate the dramatic effect of non-locality on the plasmons which contribute to the Casimir forces, with a graphene sandwich as a case study. The simplicity of this system allowed us to trace each contribution independently, as we observed that interband processes, although dominating the forces at short separations, are poorly accounted for in the framework of the Dirac cone approximation alone, and should be supplemented with other descriptions for energies higher than 2.5 eV. Finally, we proved that distances smaller than 200 nm, despite being extremely relevant to state-of-the-art measurements and nanotechnology applications, are inaccessible with closed-form response function calculations at present.

Published: January 2020

The open-circuit-time-constant (OCTC) method is an approximate analytical computationally simple approach applicable to baseband amplifiers and cascades of them. It has a dual purpose: a) to estimate the dominant pole, and the −3dB bandwidth frequency, and b) to identify actual or parasitic component values primarily responsible for this bandwidth guiding the designer in optimizing component values and circuit architecture. The present study focuses on the teaching of OCTC and the analysis of students’ depth of understanding. The OCTC module is part of the course “Electronics III” aimed towards advanced undergraduate students who are asked to solve two sets of problems analytically and simulate the circuits using LTspice and compare the results. The paper discusses students’ misconceptions and the evaluation of students’ performance via assignment grades, an anonymous sampling test and final exams (four exams during two academic years). A quantitative evaluation of the students’ perspective of the course is also presented based on two anonymous surveys, at the beginning and the end of the semester. According to the evaluation results, the proposed way of introducing the OCTC method along with the simulation exercises was beneficial for the students and improved their academic performance and attitude towards the course.

Leadership Enactment for Information System Acceptance: an Explanation from a Sensemaking Perspective
Authors: Dayanatha Aruna , Jayakody J A S K
Published: January 2020

Information system (IS) projects have been seen to be failing at an alarmingly high rate. The prevailing explanations of IS failure have had only a limited success. Thus, the time may be right to look at the reasons for IS failure through an alternative perspective. This paper proposes that IS success should be explained in terms of managerial leadership intervention, from the sensemaking perspective. Managers are responsible for workplace outcomes; thus, it may be appropriate to explain their role in IS success as well. The sensemaking perspective can explain IS success through holistic user involvement, a concept which critiques of existing explanations have stated to be a requirement for explaining IS failure. This paper proposes a framework combining the theory of enactment and leadership enactment to theorize managerial leadership intervention for “IS success.” The proposed explanation postulates that the managerial leader’s envisioning of the future transaction set influences the liberation of the follower and cast enactment, while liberating followers and cast enactment constitute manager sensegiving. The managerial leader’s sense-giving influences follower sensemaking. Follower sensemaking, under the influence of managerial sensegiving, will lead to followers’ IS acceptance, and that constitutes IS success at the individual level. Further, collective level IS acceptance constitutes IS adaption/success, and this will influence the leader’s sensegiving, for the next round of sensemaking.
Shadow Digital Economy
Authors: Teteryatnikov K.S. , Каmolov S.G.
Published: January 2020

The article is devoted to the shadow digital economy as part of the shadow economy. The authors believe that, unlike the traditional shadow economy, the digital shadow economy is aimed not only at making a profit, but also at getting access to valuable digital, financial resources and/or databases. This topic is poorly studied in Russia, while foreign research centers have already started a serious analysis of statistical data on the digital shadow economy for commercial purposes. Most of the sources of this study are foreign publications, which indicates the international nature of the analyzed phenomenon. The lack of consensus of the world community on the shadow markets and cryptocurrency as products of the shadow digital economy leads to the lack of joint and more effective international cooperation in combatting financial cyber-crime, as well as international criminal syndicates engaged in the sale of illegal products. The authors give arguments about the relevance of this phenomenon to the realities of the Russian Federation, offer their own scientific definition of the shadow digital economy and give appropriate recommendations to combat this phenomenon.

Ceramic lining brick is the most eco-friendly material and it is widely spread in modern construction. To date, the brick of light colors is of particular interest among consumers (peach, straw, beige, etc.). One of the main problem of brick constructions which impair technical and aesthetical properties is the salt weathering on the ceramic masonry surface. The reasons for this phenomenon are various-high content of water-soluble salts in clay raw materials, migration of salts from cement masonry, water hardness, etc. There are plenty methods to reduce damage and protect lining brick from salt efflorescence but raw materials selection and preliminary analysis of its liability to salt weathering is of particular importance. This paper addresses to the occurrence causes and microstructure of vanadium salts on the light-tone lining brick. The mineral composition, physical and molding properties of raw clay materials from Bolshaya Karpovka, Talalaevskoe, Chasov-Yarskoe deposits is analized from the standpoint of vanadium salt efflorescence. It is found that salt formation on the test sample surface consists of alkalis sulphates and calcium vanadates from the greenish-yellow to orange colors. The paper provided recommendations for using above-mentioned clays in light-tone ceramic brick manufacturing.

The nuclear power plant is required to supply a substantial amount of electricity for a densely populated country like Bangladesh. The government of Bangladesh has attached to a commitment to implement the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, and so Bangladesh will be the 33rd nuclear power-producing country after the successful construction of this plant. Bangladesh has planned to construct two power units (Rooppur-1 & Rooppur-2) with a capacity of 1200 MW, each of and is expected to go into operation in 2023. Russian Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation is constructing this nuclear power plant, which is the generation-3+ VVER-1200 model. But the main concern is how a third world country like Bangladesh can handle the tons of radioactive waste of RNNP. Radioactive waste i.e., a variety of solids, liquids, and gases which are produced during the generation of nuclear energy in a nuclear reactor. Depending on activity content, solid and liquid waste are disposed of in near-surface or deep geological facilities, and gaseous waste is dissolved by following some filtering process. If not properly disposed of or recycled, irradiation from radioactive waste will cause major problems for the environment. Various stages should be required for the removal of a tremendous amount of radioactive waste in a cost-effective way. This paper mainly delineates the proximate of radioactive waste management of RNNP and gives an account of (1) Radioactivity and radiation level, (2) Classification, (3) Treatment of solid, liquid and gaseous radioactive waste, (4) Reprocessing and packaging, (5) Storage and (6) Disposal.

Published: January 2020

The term Sugar cane byproduct comprises primarily on bagasse, Molasses & Press mud. However, their contribution would be more or less 30, 5 & 3 % on cane respectively. While, cumulative reflection remains 37– 38%. Principally, byproducts contribute to curtail cost of production to measurable & even survival extent. Amongst all, bagasse due to their 30% larger share has greater opportunity is utilized as prime byproduct to reduce cost with energy efficiency. By & large, bagasse itself utilize to generate power production on cheapest cost as compared to other sources of fuel. Currently, country – wide sugar industry, utilized bagasse to generate power @ 10 - 12 KG/KWH for self-generation. However, Cogeneration can reduce its consumption to 5 KG/KWH which is tremendous opportunity for sugar industry to make it proficient (Its Cogen mode steam consumption of extraction – condensing turbines having parameters 110 bar/ 540 Celsius with power output of 31.2 MW consumed steam at 5 Kg/KWH) With latest techniques steam consumption can be reduced from conventional 50 to 36 – 42% on cane. In order to focus potential opportunities to save bagasse or energy, five distinct areas i.e. a) Mill house Electrification, b) Installation of FFE with integrated vapor distribution, c) capacity utilization, d) Milling equipment & finally e) Plant automation significantly contributes towards optimization with justified pay back.

Published: January 2020

Sugarcane is the crop that have the quality to sprout after its first harvesting, phenomenon known as ratooning. Among all other major crops, sugarcane ratooning is widely acceptable to farmers of the Punjab. The more the tillers grew, the higher are the chances of a greater number of stalks to be harvested. It is proven that more the number of stalks, the thinner is the diameter, finally results in more stalks and high production. Similarly, higher number of canes produce favorable ratoon. In this experiment, performance of Seven promising sugarcane varieties/clones along with the check variety CPF-246, were tested for their ratoon ability capacity at farmer’s field at Toba Tek Singh during the year 2017-18. It has been found that one of the varieties S2008-FD-19 produced that maximum ratoon yield, U2003-US-633 produced the maximum sugar recovery and S2003-US-133 produced maximum number of mill able canes. The observing of the current analysis also revealed that S2003-US-633 and S2003-US-133 have significant potential for boom sugar recovery through breeding programs and by improving the production techniques.

Published: January 2020

Today, after several decades of international recognition and support, adult education continues to be a subject of special relevance and topicality for Spanish society. The concept of Lifelong Learning appears in the education laws; however, its implementation is not developed in the same way. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the normative development, since it will help us to develop policies that improve the coverage of this educational sector. The article reviews Spanish education laws since 1970 with the aim of studying the evolution of adult education, especially objectives laws.

The analysis included some conclusions that demonstrate the need to develop further studies on adult education in Spain. On the one hand, it is important to highlight the lack of national legislation regulating adult education in a global manner. On the other hand, there is also a need for teacher training in this area. The laws developed in recent years have begun to include adult education within the education system, but they have not considered the development of specialized educators in the area. Therefore, we can see the need to propose policies that recognize the teaching profession of adult educators, due to currently it is an informal profile and it is not necessarily require pedagogical training, what is an aspect that reduces the quality of this education.

In short, adult education is being developed in parallel with the official education systems, which leads to a loss of quality and of the normative officiality of the initiatives carried out in this area. From an educational point of view, it is crucial to address this need for improvement and to provide educational processes that are adapted to the demand of individuals and groups within a society in which continuous training is increasingly in demand.

Yönetsel güç, çalışanların örgütsel güven düzeyleri üzerinde etki üreten önemli bir olgudur ve hizmet işletmelerinde bu olgu daha da önemli bir hâl almaktadır. Ayrıca, çalışanların işletmeleri ile kendilerini özdeştirmeleri ve daha iyi performans sergilemeleri konusunda da etkili olmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın amacı, otel çalışanları nezdinde algılanan yönetsel güç-örgütsel güven-iş performansı ve örgütsel özdeşleşme etkileşimli modelini test etmektir. Araştırma verileri, Muğla’nın Bodrum ilçesinde faaliyette bulunan dört ve beş yıldızlı otel işletmeleri çalışanlarından anket tekniği ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular, işgörenlerin; yöneticilerine olan güvenini; uzmanlık, konum ve karizmatik güç boyutlarının, örgütlerine olan güvenini ise; uzmanlık, konum, karizmatik ve ödül gücü boyutlarının olumlu yönde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Yöneticiye duyulan güven çalışanların iş performanslarını etkilemektedir. Yöneticilerine ve işletmelerine güven duyan çalışanların, örgütleri ile özdeşleşme düzeylerinin de yükseldiği belirlenmiştir.

Cari işlemler
dengesi hesabı, bir ülkenin makroekonomik performansını yansıtan en önemli
ekonomik göstergelerden biridir. Pek çok ülkede olduğu gibi, Türkiye’de de en
önemli ekonomik göstergelerin başında gelmektedir. Bu çalışmada, imalat ve
sanayi sektörlerinin cari işlemler dengesi üzerindeki etkisi 1974-2017 dönemini
kapsayan yıllık verilerle Türkiye ekonomisi için zaman serisi analizi
çerçevesinde iki farklı model yardımı ile ayrı ayrı tahmin edilmiştir. Bunun
için öncelikle ADF birim kök testi uygulanmış olup, serilerin birinci farkında
I(1) durağan oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Birim kök testinden sonra Johansen Eşbütünleşme
analizi yapılmıştır. Daha sonra uzun dönemli eşbütünleşme katsayılarını test
etmek için FMOLS, CCR ve DOLS testlerinden yararlanılmıştır.  Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, değişkenler
arasında uzun dönemli bir ilişkinin olduğu tespit edilirken, imalattan cari
işlemler dengesi üzerine tek yönlü ve sanayiden cari işlemler dengesi üzerine çift
yönlü nedensellik tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan regresyon analizinde ise, imalat
ve sanayinin cari işlemler dengesi üzerindeki etkisinin negatif ve
istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Kamu Örgütlerinde Yönetici Performansı: Yerel Yönetimler Kapsamında Bir Araştırma

Published: January 2020

Çalışma, Yeni Kamu Yönetimi (YKY) anlayışı ile kamu
sektörü gündemine daha fazlalıkla girmiş olan çalışan “performansının” mahalli
idare yöneticileri örneğinde incelenmesine odaklanmaktadır. Kamu kesimi için
performans konusu, özellikle yeni dönemde kamu hizmetlerinin “sahibi” vatandaşlar anlayışının
giderek daha fazla olarak kendini göstermesi nedeniyle üzerinde durulmayı hak
etmektedir.  Zira vatandaşlar; bir yandan
kamusal hizmetlere ilişkin talepleri münasebetiyle kamu örgütlerinin raison d’etre’i (varlık nedeni)
olurken, diğer yandan da verdikleri vergiler ile kamu hizmetlerinin finansal
zemini oluşturmaları nedeniyle giderek daha fazla olarak bu dönemde kamu
kesimini bir bütün olarak sorgulama, denetleme ve izleme arayışına
girmişlerdir. Böylece, -özellikle de- bir hesap verebilirlik enstrümanı olarak
düşünülebilecek performansın yöneticiler örneğinde incelenmesi, en azından bu
açıdan ortaya çıkabilecek eksiklik ve/veya yetersizlikler ile bunlar temelinde
kendini gösterecek şikayetlerin giderilmesi noktasında önemli bir işlev
üstlenebilecektir.

Mevcut çalışmayla
nitelikli performansın belirleyenleri (öncüller, bileşenler, engelleyenler) ile
böyle bir performansın sürdürülmesi için gerekenlerin bu çerçevede belirlenmesi
amaçlanmaktadır. Nihayet
çalışmanın yanıt aradığı sorular; “kamu yöneticilerinin performanslarının
belirleyenleri (bileşenleri, engelleyenleri ve öncülleri) nelerdir?” ve
-bunların yanıtları kapsamında- “yerel yönetimler örneğinde kamu kesiminde
sürdürülebilir nitelikli çalışan (yönetici) performansının üretilebilmesi
açısından ne yapılmalıdır?” olarak tasarlanmıştır. Araştırma, nitel araştırma deseniyle
gerçekleştirilmiş ve veri toplamak için Kocaeli ilindeki büyükşehir ve ilçe
belediyelerinin başkan ve yöneticilerinden 19 kişi ile yüzyüze görüşmeler
gerçekleştirilmiştir. Toplanan veri, içerik analizine tabi tutulup yazarlar
tarafından kodlanmış ve “normatif, yapısal, kültürel ve kişisel” etmenler
olarak dört tema altında nitelikli performansın belirleyenleri tespit
edilmiştir. Bunlar aynı zamanda nitelikli performans için odaklanılması gereken
merkezi alanları da işaret etmektedir.

Published: January 2020

Pembelajaran tematik adalah metode pembelajaran yang menekankan pemberian tema khusus pilihan untuk mengajarkan beberapa konsep kurikuler. Konsep integrasi beberapa subjek untuk mengajar di sekolah Indonesia, secara umum bukan hal baru dan tidak sukses pada masa lalu. Sebagai tambahan, beberapa orang menanggap pembelajaran tematik adalah satu kesempatan sementara sebagian lain memandang bahwa ini memiliki masalah. Namun, jawaban untuk bagaimana penerapan pembelajaran tematik belum dikaji secara menyeluruh. Riset ini menyusun rencana pelaksanaan pembelajaran tematik untuk membimbing siswa dalam memperoleh literasi saintifik, mengggunakan pendekatan R&D model 4D yaitu: define, design, develop, dan disseminate. Untuk mengevaluasi penerapan dari hasil ini, kami menggunakan format observasi penerapan dan menguji literasi saintifik siswa. Lebih lanjut, untuk mengelaborasi profil literasi saintifik siswa, kami menganalisis profil tersebut berdasarkan motivasi belajar dan penguasaan konsep melalui riset correlational. Luaran riset ini adalah susunan program pembelajaran tematik berorientasi literasi saintifik yang keabsahan dan keandalan secara umum dalam kategori dapat digunakan.

Scientific Literacy Profile Based on Multiple Intelligences and Learning Motivation
Authors: Setiawan Adib Rifqi
Published: January 2020

Burhān al-Dīn al-Zarnūjī in his treatise Ta'līm al-Muta'allim Ṭorīq al-Ta'allum informed that the academic achievement has six things dependency: ingenious acumen (intelligences), fervent desire (motivation), patience (when find difficulties), sufficent sustenance (to complete learning), guidance of a teacher (through learning), and length of time (intensively). Based on this perspective, we was empirically tested students scientific literacy through correlational research. In particular, first, multiple intelligences was examined based on Multiple Intelligences Survey (MIS). Second, science learning motivation was explored used Science Motivation Questionnaire II (SMQ-II). Third, scientific literacy was tested that focused on competence domain and environmental content. The participants of the study were 128 secondary students in Kabupaten Kudus choosen by random sampling technique. We used Pearson r to elaborate relation of scientific literacy with each type of multiple intelligences nor component of science learning motivation. It reveals that naturalistic intelligence and self-efficacy has strong correlation with scientific literacy. The findings suggest that it is important to facilitate students’ intelligence and motivations to guide them on achieving scientific literacy.
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MALAY LANGUAGE EDUCATION POLICY AND THE LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Soon Chiow Thai , Loi Chek Kim
Published: January 2020

This ethnographic research uses the applied linguistic landscape of Ben-Rafael (2009) to examine the choices of language practice (Spolsky, 2009) reflected through 459 Romanised names of the company on an island in Malaysia named Labuan. One of the outcomes of this study shows Malaysians are basically bilingual and about half of the names of the company are bilingual. However, the use of Malay language in naming the companies on the island is low though the Malay language is the national language of the country and the Malaysian government has implemented the Malay language education policy since independence in 1957. There are only 13% of company names presented in pure Malay language comparing to those in pure English (45%) and in code-mixing of Malay language and English or other languages (42%). Besides a low percentage of using the Malay language in the company names, incorrect uses of the language were identified. The study suggests the Malaysian government specifically the local government considers the company name written in both Malay language and English instead of merely in the Malay language when it comes to approving the application of new company licenses.

It is clear that the command to apply tadabbur in Al-Quran includes all matters pertaining to it whether it is with regard to language structure or its content, signs or the miracles of Al-Quran. Arabic language which is the language chosen by Allah SWT in order to send down the Revelations has unique characteristics of sentence construction i.e. relating to the aspects of grammar, rhetoric, and semantics. One of the special features of the Arabic language is ellipsis or al-Hadhf al-Kalimah, or in plain language, it refers to the omission of words or phrases from speech or writing. If we scrutinize various books on the language, we will be able to ascertain that the discussion on ellipsis belongs to the field of Arabic rhetoric or al-Balaghah al-Arabiyyah. Therefore, the aim of this study is to find out to what extent is the understanding among Takmir teachers in Selangor of al-Hadhf-al-Kalimah-type verses in surah Yasin. It is hoped that from the outcome of this study the public will have a deeper understanding and appreciation of al-Hadhf al-Kalimah in Al-Quran.
Пути снижения эксплуатационных затрат мембранных установок для подготовки питьевой воды из подземных водоисточников
Authors: Pervov A. , Golovesov V. , Spitsov D. , Rudakova G.
Published: January 2020

Описан новый подход к созданию технологических схем утилизации концентрата установок обратного осмоса с минимальным расходом воды на собственные нужды. Схема включает обработку воды в две ступени. Проведены экспериментальные исследования по определению технологических характеристик мембранных установок (выход фильтрата, интенсивность образования осадков на мембранах). На основании результатов экспериментов получены значения приведенных затрат на очистку подземных вод различного химического состава. Исследования проводились на лабораторных стендах с использованием нанофильтрационных мембран, имеющих разные значения селективности. Расход сервисных реагентов и эксплуатационные затраты на оборудование рассчитывались по программе, ранее разработанной авторами для определения технологических характеристик мембранных установок. При разработке установок следует отдавать предпочтение мембранам с низкими значениями селективности, обеспечивать снижение затрат на реагенты и энергопотребления. Получены зависимости скорости роста осадка карбоната кальция от типа мембран и кратности объемного концентрирования исходной воды. Сравнение затрат показывает, что применение мембран даже для случаев обезжелезивания воды оказывается экономичнее известных классических технологий.

Experimental investigations have been conducted to determine the main process parameters of membrane units (filtrate yield, the rate of scaling on membrane surface). Basing on the results of the experimental studies the total costs of purification of underground water of various chemical composition were obtained. The studies were conducted on laboratory benches with the use of nanofiltration membranes with various selectivity rates. The consumption of service chemicals and operational costs for the equipment were calculated by the software designed earlier by the authors for determining the process parameters of membrane units. While designing membrane units, nanofiltration membranes with low values of selectivity, power consumption and expenditures for chemicals are preferred. The dependencies of the calcium carbonate scaling rates on membrane types and the multiplicity of volumetric concentration of source water were obtained. A comparison of costs shows that the use of membranes even for cases of water deferrization is more economical than the known traditional technologies.
