Impostor Phenomenon on First- and Second-year College Students
Authors: Fahira Ulimaz Dea , Hayat Bahrul
Published: December 2021

New students tend to experience the stress and anxiety of transitioning from the school environment to the campus environment. Anxiety in dealing with new situations or roles can lead to the Impostor Phenomenon (IP). This study aimed to determine the effect of family relationships, general anxiety, and the Big-five personality traits on impostor phenomena. The sample of this study was 439 first and second-year students taken by the non-probability sampling technique. The measuring instruments used in this research are Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS), Brief Family Relationships Scale (BFRS), Four-Dimensional Anxiety Scale (FDAS), and Big-five Inventory (BFI). Data analysis in this study used Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and multiple regression analysis techniques. The results showed a significant effect of family relationships, general anxiety, and the Big-five personality traits on the impostor phenomenon. Based on testing the minor hypothesis, there are six significant variables: emotional, physiological, cognitive, behaviour, extraversion, and awareness. Other variables such as cohesion, expressiveness, conflict, agreeableness, neuroticism, and openness have no significant effect on the impostor phenomenon.
Gender Role Discrepancy, Discrepancy Stress, and Family Resilience of Minangkabau Family
Authors: Mukhlisah Nurul , Pudjiati Sri Redatin Retno
Published: December 2021

Family resilience is an important ability for family in facing various challenges throughout the lifespan. The study about family resilience of Minangkabau ethnic people needs further exploration due to the increase in divorce rate in the last three years, indicating that these families were not resilient. The cause of the divorce was related to matrilocal residency (husband lives in wife’s house after marriage). This residency has the potential to cause the intervention of the wife’s family to the relationship of husband and wife, therefore leading to the lack of authority in the husband's role. This condition poses a risk to husbands to experience gender role discrepancy and discrepancy stress. The purpose of this study was to examine the contribution of gender role discrepancy and discrepancy stress to family resilience by involving 139 Minangkabau men who lived in the wife’s family house around the age 18-50 years old. This study used a quantitative research method. Sampling technique used in this study was a purposive sampling technique. All data collected were analyzed by using multiple regression method. Results showed that gender role discrepancy and discrepancy stress contributed significantly to family resilience by 10.5%. However, partial analysis showed that discrepancy stress alone did not contribute significantly to family resilience.

Authors: Schechter Sarah B. , Lakhaney Divya , Peretz Patricia J. , Matiz Luz Adriana
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Social determinants of health (SDOH) contribute to racial disparities in asthma outcomes. Community health worker (CHW) programs represent a promising way to screen for SDOH and connect patients to resources, but the impact of CHW programs in the inpatient pediatric setting has been examined in few studies. In this study, we aimed to evaluate a CHW program for children hospitalized with asthma in a predominantly Hispanic community by examining rates of SDOH and social resource navigation.

METHODS

This pilot study involved a CHW intervention to improve pediatric asthma care. Patients were included if they were hospitalized with asthma over an 18-month period and enrolled in the CHW program during their hospitalization. In an intake interview, CHWs screened caregivers for SDOH and provided tailored social resource navigation. Descriptive statistics were used to assess rates of social risk factors and social resource navigation.

RESULTS

Eighty patients underwent SDOH screening. The majority of patients were Hispanic (81.3%, n = 65). Half of caregivers reported food or housing insecurity over the past 12 months (50.0%, n = 40), and most reported inadequate housing conditions (63.8%, n = 51). CHWs coordinated social resources for the majority of families (98.8%, n = 79), with the most common being food resources (42.5%, n = 34), housing resources (82.5%, n = 66), and appointment navigation (41.3%, n = 33).

CONCLUSIONS

CHWs identified a high burden of unmet social needs and provided associated social resource navigation in a largely Hispanic pediatric population hospitalized for asthma. CHW programs have potential to improve asthma outcomes by linking high-risk patients with social resources.

Published: December 2021

Abstract. In growing four tomato varieties in greenhouses, the effect of a conventional and integrated scheme for control of tomato leaf miner (Tuta absoluta Meyrick, 1917) was studied. Six consecutive treatments were performed at ten-day intervals. The conventional scheme includes the following products: Confidor Energy OD 0.08%, Ampligo 150 ZC 400 ml/ha, Coragen 20 SC 200 ml/ha, Exalt 25 SC 2400 ml/ha, Voliam Targo 063 SC 800 ml/ha and Voliam Targo 063 SC 800 ml/ha. In the integrated scheme the following products for plant protection are used – Confidor Energy OD 0.08%, Sineis 480 SC 250 ml/ha, Sineis 480 SC 250 ml/ha, Voliam Targo 063 SC 800 ml/ha, Neem Azal T/S 0.3% and Neem Azal T/S 0.3%. The effectiveness of the plant protection products against the tomato leaf miner, the degree of pest attack of the different varieties and the tomato productivity were studied in this experiment. It was established that in the conventional and in the integrated treatment scheme, the highest efficiency was shown by the product Voliam Targo 063 SC, applied in a dose of 800 ml/ha on the seventh day after spraying. The percentage of damaged plants was the lowest in the variety Clarosa F1 (4.00%), with the application of the conventional plant protection scheme. The results were similar in the integrated scheme – 6.00%, while in the control the degree of infestation reached 18.00%. The percentage of damaged fruits in both treatment schemes was 6.00%, significantly lower than in the control (24.00%). The highest tomato productivity was observed with the application of the conventional plant protection scheme in Manusa F1 variety.

Published: December 2021

In the present work a lateral flow immunochromatographic test (LFT) for rapid detection of Clostri­dium perfringens toxins types, alpha (α), beta (β) and epsilon (ε) in clinical samples was developed. C. perfringens toxins were prepared, purified and inactivated with 0.2% formalin. Polyclonal antibodies specific to C. perfringens toxins types α, β and ε toxoids were prepared in rabbits and guinea pigs. The toxoid specific polyclonal antibodies prepared in rabbits were labelled with gold chloride nanoparticles. The prepared toxin specific rabbit and guinea pigs antibodies and goat anti-rabbit antibodies were utilised in development of a lateral flow immunochromatographic test and the latter - evaluated for detection of C. perfringens α, β and ε toxins in clinical samples. The sensitivity and specificity and accuracy of the developed LFT were determined by comparison with a commercially available ELISA used for detection of these toxins. The prepared LFT was capable to detect C. perfringens α, β and ε toxins in quantities of 2 μg/ml, 250 ng/ml and 60 ng/ml, respectively. One hundred poultry suspected faecal samples was examined both with the prepared LFT and commercial ELISA to test the validity of developed LFT. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the LFT for detection of C. perfringens toxins were 81%, 95.2% and 90%, respectively, for α toxin, 76.6%, 98.5% and 72%, respectively, for β toxin and 66.6%, 98.8% and 95%, respectively, for ε toxin.

Authors: Senesavath Souphavanh , Salem Ali , Kashkash Saied , Zehra Bintul , Orban Zoltan
Published: December 2021

Steel fibers recovered from recycled tires were considered for use as reinforcement in concrete to improve the tensile properties of concrete as well as being an economically viable and environmentally friendly alternative. This paper investigates the effect of purified and non-purified recycled tire steel fiber in concrete with a constant fiber proportion of 30 kg m−3 to determine properties in fresh and hardened concrete. The results indicate that concrete with purified tire fibers have better tensile properties than those with non-purified tire fibers. Density, strength, and toughness significantly increase but workability tends to decrease when using recycled tire steel fiber as reinforcement in concrete.
Distribution of freshwater fish from the Southern Neotropics reveals three new areas of endemism and show diffuse limits among freshwater ecoregions

Published: December 2021

Abstract Ecoregions and areas of endemism are central concepts in biogeography. Based on collection records and the Endemic Analyses implemented with NDM/VNDM method we analyzed fish areas of endemism in the junction of three freshwater ecoregions related to the Rio de la Plata estuary (Lower Parana, Lower Uruguay, Laguna dos Patos) in Southern Neotropical region. Using two grid cell sizes, results obtained showed the same general patterns. Areas of endemism recovered were mainly associated either to Lower Uruguay or to Laguna dos Patos. In both ecoregions nested areas of endemism were identified within larger patterns of endemism. Noteworthy, one area recovered occurred across Lower Uruguay and Laguna dos Patos limits. Our results also suggest a revision of the Lower Uruguay and Lower Parana ecoregion limits, and highlight the relevance of the Rio de la Plata estuary as a barrier and corridor for freshwater fishes in the area.

Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT Myracrodruon urundeuva Fr. All. is a tree threatened with extinction, which has wood and medicinal potential. This study aimed to analyze the in vitro shoot regeneration in M. urundeuva, in order to increase the species multiplication. Two experiments were conducted: 1) concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) (0.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 and 16.0 µM), in association with naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) (0.0, 1.5 and 3.0 µM), in explants (cotyledon, hypocotyl and cotyledonary node); 2) concentrations of meta-topolin (mT) (0.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, 16.0 and 32.0 µM) in explants (biaxillary, medial uniaxillary and apical basal nodal segment). The percentage of explants responsive to shoot regeneration, percentage of callus explants, number of shoots and shoot length were evaluated. In the first experiment, the shoot regeneration occurred only in explants of the cotyledonary node and hypocotyl type, with the highest responsiveness percentage (76.67 %) and number of shoots (1.97 and 1.63) obtained for the cotyledonary node in the presence of 3.0 µM of NAA in association with 2.0 (1.97 shoots/explant) and 4.0 µM (1.63 shoots/explant) of mT. In the second experiment, the resolution of the obtained quadratic equation indicates that the use of basal explant with 24.59 µM of mT added to the culture medium leads to the highest number of shoots (1.86). However, despite the mT having increased the mean number of shoots, all treatments containing this cytokinin showed callus formation. As a conclusion, it is possible to regenerate shoots in M. urundeuva from the cotyledonary node using BAP in association with NAA.
Reasoning with PCP-Nets
Authors: Cornelio Cristina , Goldsmith Judy , Grandi Umberto , Mattei Nicholas , Rossi Francesca , Venable K. Brent
Published: December 2021

We introduce PCP-nets, a formalism to model qualitative conditional preferences with probabilistic uncertainty. PCP-nets generalise CP-nets by allowing for uncertainty over the preference orderings. We define and study both optimality and dominance queries in PCP-nets, and we propose a tractable approximation of dominance which we show to be very accurate in our experimental setting. Since PCP-nets can be seen as a way to model a collection of weighted CP-nets, we also explore the use of PCP-nets in a multi-agent context, where individual agents submit CP-nets which are then aggregated into a single PCP-net. We consider various ways to perform such aggregation and we compare them via two notions of scores, based on well known voting theory concepts. Experimental results allow us to identify the aggregation method that better represents the given set of CP-nets and the most efficient dominance procedure to be used in the multi-agent context.
A crack theory-based bonded-particle model for rock particles considering size effects
Authors: Zhou M.-J.
Published: December 2021

Particle breakage shows significant effect on the macroscopic behaviour of rock materials, and the discrete element method is a powerful tool to investigate the relationship between micro fracture and macro deformation and strength. In this study, the concept of crack is introduced into the bonded-particle model (BPM) to simulate the breakage behaviour of rockfill materials, with randomly placed weak bonds representing cracks. Different from traditional BPM, the number, position and strength of the weak bonds are directly related to the number, position and length of cracks. With a reasonable length distribution of cracks, the proposed model can successfully reflect both the crushing strength variation and size effects. A set of crack parameters including the crack density, minimum crack length, maximum crack length and fractal dimension, are suggested. The crushing characteristics of realistic rockfill particles with two typical shapes are simulated quantitatively and verified with test data. It is found that the proposed model with suggested crack parameters can give reasonable prediction on the Weibull's modulus and size effect of rockfill particles.

Published: December 2021

Screw piles have been used to support a variety of structures due to their ease of installation and high axial capacity. Recently, screw piles have been proposed as an alternative foundation solution for offshore renewable structures due to their quiet or silent installation. Due to their variable geometry, design and prediction of installation requirements and its effect on in-service capacity may be challenging. In this research study, the discrete-element method (DEM) is used to numerically recreate a series of onshore field tests. The aim of the study is to investigate the ability of DEM to be used as a practical design tool for the design and deployment of screw piles. In this case study, the effect of the geometric helix pitch on the installation torque and tensile capacity of screw piles installed into sand is investigated. DEM results show that the geometric pitch of a screw pile appears to have little effect on the installation torque. The results show that DEM has the potential to be used as a practical design procedure for complex foundation installation where the simulation needs to capture installation effects.

Published: December 2021

Gaps in understanding what influences household water consumption have led water providers failing to convince customers to report sustainable practices. To this end, this study aimed to answer the question, ‘How do social and cultural factors influence water consumption in urban areas?’ The response to this issue has been identified through an investigation that involved a group of selected factors, whose analysis was based on collected survey data from participants in Lagos-Nigeria, Salvador-Brazil, Sao Paulo-Brazil, London-UK and Los Angeles-USA. The capability–opportunity–motivation–behaviour model was used as a data analysis framework to identify influences. The investigation revealed that motivation is the most reported driver of water consumption. In a scale from 0 (lowest) to 5 (highest), this component presented the highest scores in Lagos (3.93), Salvador (4.13), Sao Paulo (3.88), London (4.13) and Los Angeles (3.59). The capability dimension had the second-highest weight in Lagos, Salvador, Sao Paulo and Los Angeles, with scores of 2.80, 3.60, 3.60 and 3.20, respectively. Participants from London have opportunity (score = 2.88) as the second influential pillar in water consumption. These findings are aimed at helping to best drive water-saving practices by gaining insight into factors underpinning water consumption in a structured manner.
An alternatives account of 'most’ and 'more than half’
Authors: Carcassi Fausto , Szymanik Jakub
Published: December 2021

While ‘most’ and ‘more than half’ are generally assumed to be truth-conditionally equivalent, the former is usually interpreted as conveying greater proportions than the latter. Previous work has attempted to explain this difference in terms of pragmatic strengthening or variation in meanings. In this paper, we propose a novel explanation that keeps the truth-conditions equivalence. We argue that the difference in typical sets between the two expressions emerges as a result of two previously independently motivated mechanisms. First, the two expressions have different sets of pragmatic alternatives. Second, listeners tend to minimize the expected distance between their representation of the world and the speaker’s observation. We support this explanation with a computational model of usage in the Rational Speech Act framework. Moreover, we report the results of a quantifier production experiment. We find that our account can explain the difference in typical proportions associated with the two expressions.
A review of methods to account for impacts of non-stationary climate data on extreme rainfalls for design rainfall estimation in South Africa
Authors: Johnson K A , Smithers J C , Schulze R E
Published: December 2021

Frequency analysis of extreme rainfall and flood events are used to determine design rainfalls and design floods which are needed to design hydraulic structures such as dams, spillways and culverts. Standard methods for frequency analysis of extreme events are based on the assumption of a stationary climate. However, this assumption in rainfall and flood frequency analysis is being challenged with growing evidence of climate change. As a consequence of a changing climate, the frequency and magnitude of extreme rainfall events are reported to have increased in parts of South Africa, and these and other changes in extreme rainfall occurrences are expected to continue into the future. The possible non-stationarity in climate resulting in changes in rainfall may impact on the accuracy of the estimation of extreme rainfall quantities and design rainfall estimations. This may have significant consequences for the design of new hydraulic infrastructure, as well as for the rehabilitation of existing infrastructure. Hence, methods that account for non-stationary data, such as caused by climate change, need to be developed. This may be achieved by using data from downscaled global circulation models in order to identify non-stationary climate variables which affect rainfall, and which can then be incorporated into extreme value analysis of a non-stationary data series.
Stemming and best practice in the mining industry: A literature review
Authors: Oates T.E. , Spiteri W.
Published: December 2021

In 2015, after amendments to the explosives regulations, stemming became a mandatory activity for all South African mining operations. There are, however, circumstances in which it is thought stemming has an adverse impact on the blasting outcome. Some of these circumstances include blasting in hot holes, in reactive ground, or when blasting a pre-split. In order to determine when stemming is necessary, its role in the control of adverse blasting phenomena and impact on explosive performance were reviewed. Stemming was found to play a significant role in the fragmentation process and burden movement. Additionally, stemming significantly influences the control of flyrock, air-blast, and toxic fume generation. The review of the literature indicates some motivation for not using stemming for pre-split, trim, hot hole, and reactive ground blasting, provided the benefits associated with not stemming the holes outweigh the risks of stemming them. Best practice for stemming from the literature indicates a stemming length of 0.7 x burden is best for larger hole diameters, and 20 to 30 x 0 for smaller hole diameters. Crushed aggregate appears to be the most effective stemming material. The South African explosives regulations pertaining to stemming were found to be consistent with those of Australia and the USA.
Enhancing knowledge-building through communicative language teaching
Authors: Nyamayedenga Mildred Shingirirai , de Jager Lizette
Published: December 2021

Zimbabwe's new primary school curriculum aims at enhancing knowledge-building through the use of communicative language teaching (CLT) to assist both the teachers and the learners to solve problems. In this qualitative case study, we investigated the extent of teachers' inclination to use the CLT approach. To do so, the study was guided by Socio-cultural Theory (SCT) and the Experiential Learning Theory (ELT). Five purposively selected participants in the Warren Park/Mabelreign District in Zimbabwe responded to semi-structured interviews and were observed while they were teaching. The analysis revealed that although teachers understood that knowledge-building can be enhanced by CLT they are ill prepared to implement it because they lack the skills and the knowledge, and they have to cope with inadequate resources. Consequently, teachers still follow traditional pedagogic practices that do not lead to knowledge-building in learners. We recommend that a number of workshops be offered to in-service teachers and stakeholders on how to employ CLT activities that enhance knowledge-building.

Genotyping Arabidopsis T-DNA lines v1
Authors: J Burgess Steven
Published: December 2021

This protocol is used for genotyping Arabidopsis seedlings to test for the presence of a transfer DNA (T-DNA) insertion. By using two primer sets it is possible to determine whether a seedling is homozygous, heterozygous or azygous for an insertion in the predicted genomic location. To identify lines with T-DNA insertions in a gene of interest, you need the Arabidopsis Genome Identifier (AGI) number corresponding to the genomic locus (e.g. RCS1A = AT1G67090), then visit the Salk Institute T-DNA Express site to find all the mapped insertions at your locus of interest. Genotyping primers have been pre-designed for each T-DNA line, these can be retrieved from the Salk Institute T-DNA primer site, and ordered at any supplier of DNA oligonucleotides before starting the protocol. In the US T-DNA lines can be purchased from the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center (ABRC) and in the UK and EU from the European Arabidopsis Stock Center (NASC). Recommended reading http://signal.salk.edu/tdnaprimers.2.html Setting up the PCR reaction Genotyping is performed with the Phire Direct PCR Mix, this includes the polymerase, nucleotides and salts necessary for amplification. We use the “dilution protocol” which involves taking a small leaf disk and homogenizing it in dilution buffer using a gel tip (see manufacturer’s instructions for more details.)

Published: December 2021

Reliability and maintenance analysis of transport machines hydraulic drives, basically focused to power units: pumps, cylinders etc., without taking in to account junction elements. Therefore, this paper proposes a research analysis on high-pressure hoses and junctions during technical maintenance. Comparative analysis of fluid behavior and energy efficiency inside non-repaired and repaired high-pressure hoses is presented in this research. Theoretical and experimental research results for hydraulic processes inside high-pressure hose is based on the numerical simulations using Navier–Stokes equations and experimental measurement of fluid flow pressure inside high-pressure hoses. Research of fluid flow dynamics in the hydraulic system was made with main assumptions: system flow rate in the range from 5 to 100 l/min, diameter of the hoses and repairing fitting are 3/8". The pressure drops, power losses, flow coefficients at non-repaired and after maintenance hose was obtained as a result. Simulation results were verified by running physical experiments to measure the pressure losses.
Institution of Legal Support for the Turnover of Genetic Information: Paradigm of the Future of Information Law
Authors: Rassolov I. M. , Chubukova S. G.
Published: December 2021

The increased scale of genetic research in the world determines the relevance of legal regulation of relations on the turnover of genetic information. The purpose of this study is to define a new legal institution for the circulation of genetic information and the main directions of development of future legislation. The methodological basis of the study comprises empirical methods of comparison, description, interpretation; theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic; private scientific methods: the method of comparative jurisprudence and the method of interpretation of legal norms. The results of the study allow the authors to state that there is a process of separation of the still few legal norms on the turnover of genetic information into a separate institution in the system of the information law branch.

The developing institute should include norms (principles) of turnover and processing of genetic information. These are norms that consolidate the rights and obligations of subjects of information legal relations regarding the turnover of genetic information; norms that establish the legal regime of biological banks and national databases of genetic information; protective norms for state supervision of the activities of subjects in the field of turnover of genetic information; special norms on liability for violations of the requirements of the law.

The most effective solution to the problem of legal regulation of relations on the turnover of genetic information in the Russian Federation is the adoption of a special law.

The information activities of various entities in this area are often international in nature and are based on the norms established in treaties and national legislation. In this regard, it seems appropriate to launch a broad discussion of the problems of genetic information turnover at the level of the international scientific community. These should include identification of threats; identification of possible risks of using information technologies in medicine; unification of digital identification mechanisms; development of ethical codes of conduct for the scientific community; use of foresight methodology in order to develop common positions.
Brain drain and economic growth: evidence of productivity growth from brain circulation
Authors: Yu Woosik
Published: December 2021

This paper analyzes the effect of the so-called ‘brain drain’ on economic growth through the channel of growth in total factor productivity. We analyze panel data that measure the severity of brain drain, which are from IMD and the U.S. National Science Foundation. Our analysis shows that middle-income countries have more brain drain compared to the group of high-income countries. Also, emerging economies that grow fast tend to experience more brain drain. Our results from fixed effects regression models show that that brain drain has a significant and positive impact on economic growth, and the main channel is productivity growth. This can be considered as evidence of the positive effects of ‘brain circulation’, which is one of the brain drain phenomena that settlement of the talents in advanced countries can eventually help improve the productivity of home country by the sharing of advanced technologies and skills around them with colleagues in motherland. Therefore, a strategy of utilizing overseas resident talents should also be considered, alongside the brain-attraction policy.

Diagnostic values of conventional conduction parameters in ulnar neuropathy at elbow
Authors: Alemdar Murat
Published: December 2021

Conventional parameters used in electrodiagnosis of ulnar neuropathy at elbow (UNE) are: (i) absolute across-elbow ulnar nerve motor conduction velocity (MCV), (ii) reduction rate of composed muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude from above to below elbow stimulation, and (iii) MCV difference between forearm and across-elbow segment. We aimed to search the diagnostic accuracy values of these parameters on UNE, and their correlations with axonal dysfunction of ulnar nerve fibers. Arms with clinical signs of UNE and two-fold healthy controls were included. We detected the best cut off points of the measured parameters and their possible combinations. Their diagnostic accuracy values and correlations with parameters reflecting the axonal functions were analyzed, statistically. Totally, 118 arms with UNE and 236 controls were included. Absolute across-elbow MCV yielded a higher accuracy than MCV difference and reduction rate of CMAP amplitude (p = 0.010 and p˂0.001, respectively). Besides, combining it with other parameters did not increase the diagnostic yield. Correlation analyses revealed that the only parameter having positive linear correlations with sensory nerve action potential amplitudes both in the control and the disease groups is the absolute across-elbow MCV. The absolute across-elbow MCVs have also positive linear correlation with CMAP amplitudes in disease group. The absolute across-elbow MCV is the most valuable conventional parameter for the electrodiagnosis of UNE. It is also the most correlated parameter with the electrodiagnostic parameters reflecting the axonal functions of the ulnar nerve fibers.

In this article we discuss discourses of white mobility in reality television, a genre whose problematic post-racial and neoliberal discourses have long been exposed. Moving beyond the widely researched Anglophone media landscapes, we interrogate the discursive construction of white mobilities in the Swedish romance reality show Bonde Söker Fru – Jorden Runt (TV4, 2019–2020) [Farmer Seeks Wife – Around the World] where Swedish North-to-South migrants working as farmers abroad seek a partner from Sweden through the assistance of reality TV. By focusing on the discursive and visual strategies through which the show perpetuates racial hierarchies, we discuss the colonial imaginaries, the absence of border policies (such as residency, employment, or integration), and the significance of individual migratory preferences in the mobility discourses. We identify three forms of white mobility – the tourist, the adventurer, and the philanthropist – and show that migration is depicted as something reversible, an adventure, and a possibility for self-development, rather than a life-long decision with high stakes.

Coral bleaching occurs when cell density or the concentration of photosynthetic pigments of the endosymbionts, zooxanthellae are decreased. This incident may possibly be caused by some environmental stresses, especially under conditions of elevated temperature, decrease in water salinity, or a combination of these factors. To determine the role of temperature and salinity on zooxanthellae and coral bleaching this study was conducted in aquariums under laboratory conditions on cauliflower coral Pocillopora damicornis. The samples were collected from three sites around Samaesan Island, Chonburi, Thailand. Three sets of experiments were conducted at three levels of temperature: room temperature 27 (control), 30, and 33 oC respectively. At each temperature level, three levels of salinities; 10, 20 and 30 (control) psu were tested as well. Coral bleaching percentage and zooxanthellae density in the water column were observed every 6 hours during the period of 72 hours. The results showed that when coral exposed to the highest temperature (33 oC) under the lowest salinity (10 psu), 50-90% bleaching was found and higher symbiont densities in the water column were detected. These results suggested that the combination of the high temperature and low salinity had synergistic effects on coral bleaching and zooxanthellae.

Existing (production of urea, dimethyl carbonate, polypropylene carbonate) and promising (production of methanol, synthesis gas, monomers dedicated to synthesis of polyurethanes and polycarbonate) chemical technologies which any, time soon, may become CO2based economy for producing motor fuels and basic chemicals have been overviewed. Based on estimates of CO2removals in these processes, it has been concluded that there is a potential for developing technologies to produce methanol from CO2to a competitive cost of the target product. It is expected that interest in this process will decrease if stable carbon dioxide conversion catalysts for methane are introduced into the market.

This paper contributes to the understanding of the other neglected effects of trade openness by analysing how it affects life quality in sub-Saharan African countries over the period 2000–2016. We used two trade openness indicators, namely: Squalli and Wilson index and the rate of trade. The empirical evidence is based on a pooled mean group approach. With two panels differentiated by their colonial origin, the following findings are established: the trade openness variable measured by Squalli and Wilson index has no effect on life quality in the both groups of countries in the short-run. However, it has a positive and significant effect on life quality in the both group of countries in the long-run. The use of the rate of trade confirms the results in the both groups of countries in the long-run. The contribution of trade openness to life quality is 3.27 and 5.19 times higher in the Former British Colonies than that recorded in the Former French Colonies of SSA respectively to the use of Squalli and Wilson index and the rate of trade. Overall, we find strong evidence supporting the view that trade openness promotes life quality in SSA countries in the long run.
How to improve English articles writing style: Twenty highly-applicable grammatical points
Authors: Mozayan MR
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Today, English and its use as an international language is agreed upon by all, and a wealth of scientific articles written every day in the whole world is in English. The purpose of this study is to project some commonly used grammatical points that native speakers of Persian, unfortunately, do not follow or do not have adequate knowledge to use when writing in English, but this style of writing in the scientific articles by authors whose mother tongue is English is quite obvious.
Methods: In a retrospective study, the author has tried, by drawing on three decades of experience in editing English articles, to provide intriguing points needed to improve the quality of the English articles couched by researchers and authors through exemplification.
Results: A review of English articles written by those whose mother tongue is English or Persian shows a noticeable difference, both structurally and lexically, between the two writing styles.
Conclusion: Heading off this major problem requires holding numerous meetings and workshops on how to write English articles for Persian speakers to familiarize them with style and features of metadiscourse in research articles jenre.
Diskursus Zakat Produktif Syekh Muhammad Arsyad Al-Banjari
Authors: Munadi Fathullah , Effendi Muhammad Nur
Published: December 2021

Abstract: Sheikh Arsyad's conception of productive zakat was deduced from Kitāb al-Zakāt in Sabilal. This conception became a hot discourse when several academics claimed that this conception was a new ijtihad from Sheikh Arsyad. The claim criticized by Muslich Shabir on research using intertextual analysis, 2004.This paper is written as a review of the discourse that occurs around Sheikh Arsyad's productive zakat, especially regarding differences of opinion on the position of the concept of productive zakat in ijtihad. The above discourse is then withdrawn to determine the position of this productive zakat concept in the local discourse of the archipelago.From this discussion it can be concluded that Syekh Arsyad in this theme is in line with his predecessor, this shows that he is consistently guided by the basis of law-making which is more dominant and applies universally. On the other hand, he can also be considered as the pioneer of the inclusion of the discourse of productive zakat in fiqh works which use the Malay language. Abstrak: Konsepsi zakat produktif Syekh Arsyad disimpulkan dari Kitāb al-Zakāt dalam Sabilal. Konsepsi ini menjadi wacana yang hangat ketika beberapa akademisi yang melakukan klaim bahwa konsepsi ini merupakan ijtihad baru dari Syekh Arsyad. Pernyataan ini kemudian mendapat kritik dari Muslich Shabir melalui penelitian menggunakan analisis intertekstual, tahun 2004.Tulisan ini ditulis sebagai review terhadap diskursus yang terjadi sekitar zakat produktif Syekh Arsyad, terutama terhadap perbedaan pendapat dalam posisi konsep zakat produktif dalam ijtihad.  Dari wacana di atas dapat ditarik kesimpulan tentang posisi konsep zakat produktif ini dalam wacana lokal nusantara.Dari pembahasan ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa Syekh Arsyad dalam tema ini sejalan dengan tokoh pendahulunya, ini menunjukkan bahwa ia konsisten berpedoman kepada dasar pengambilan hukum yang lebih dominan dan berlaku secara universal. Di lain pihak ia juga dapat dianggap sebagai pelopor masuknya wacana zakat produktif ini dalam karya fiqh yang menggunakan bahasa Melayu.

Regardless of identity, transvestites are also human beings who must have the character to be pious. A human being with faith can be seen from how obedient he is to God or also called religiosity. Transsexual life in Banjarmasin is not very visible in the community, but in its community religious activities themselves continue to be carried out. This type of research is field research using a qualitative approach and case studies because the phenomenon of adolescent transsexual religiosity is unique to study. Data collection techniques used were the scale of religiosity, semi-structured interviews, and non-participant observation with subjects totaling two people with characteristics of transsexuals who were 18-21 years old, Muslim, were members of the IWB community and Paris Barantai, and lived in the Banjarmasin area. Both subjects have a high level of religiosity. It can also be seen that there are five dimensions of religiosity in transvestites, where both have a size of faith in a strong pillar of hope, an aspect of worship in doing fewer religious duties, a relatively good spiritual dimension, quite a proportion of religious knowledge because they at least know the basics religion, lack of practice in relations with the community and relationships with God, and the factors that influence their religiosity are the main factors, namely social influence and need elements as supporting factors.
The Dialectics Feminism Paradigm Of The Legal Marriage As A Form Of Legal Protection In Girls
Authors: Hariri Achmad
Published: December 2021

The constitution as the basis of the state provides an indication that all Indonesians have the same rights, see Article 27 (1) of the 1945 Constitution, including the position of women and men. However, the domination of partiarchic culture positions women as a subaltern of men. For the paradigm of Feminism Legal Theory, law is a product of men, so that it becomes a barometer that legal products is men, such as determining wages in labor laws, laws related to the environment and laws on marriage. Recently there was an interesting incident, when the Constitutional Court granted the Judicial Review request related to the minimum age of marriage, where in the Marriage Law before the revision there was a relatively quite difference of ages in children, 16 years old for girls and 19 for boys. After the Constitutional Court Decision No. 22 / Puu-Xv / 2017, then the Government revised Law No. 1 of 1974 on marriage to become Law No. 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law 1 of 1974 regulates the age limit for marriage, especially women who are at least 19 years old can marry, same as men. Does this indicate that Indonesian legal politics leads to the paradigm of feminist legal theory or Feminism Legal Theory (FLT). In fact there are many norms in laws that are gender biased, including in Law no. 16 of 2019. The approach in this study uses a statute approach and a conceptual approach.
Diálogos de La Habana: una comprensión desde la paz positiva y la paz negativa
Authors: Gómez Triana David Felipe
Published: December 2021

Esta investigación busca analizar el grado de inserción de las variables de paz positiva y negativa (Galtung, 1969a) de cada una de las partes durante el diálogo de paz colombiano entre el Gobierno nacional y las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC-EP), entre 2012 y 2016. La investigación espera llenar el vacío existente en el análisis de las posturas y visiones de paz de cada una de las partes en los diálogos de La Habana. Con base en los trabajos teóricos de Galtung (1965, 1969a, 1969b, 1971, 1990), Fisas (2005) y Lederach (1995, 2016), la investigación se centra en la paz positiva y negativa, y en el proceso de diálogo. La metodología cualitativa utilizada consiste en siete entrevistas en profundidad realizadas con algunas de las personas que hicieron parte de las delegaciones de paz, así como dos entrevistas con actores del componente internacional. El análisis, desarrollado a partir de la Teoría de Conjuntos Difusos, concluye que la delegación del Gobierno nacional se orientó hacia una paz negativa, mientras que las FARC-EP se orientaron hacia una paz positiva. La investigación es parte de un campo creciente dedicado al estudio del Acuerdo de Paz colombiano como garantía para la transición hacia una sociedad en paz.
