Authors: Etsa Muhammad Dwi , Sujaini Herry , Safriadi Novi
Published: July 2018

Bahasa Melayu Pontianak merupakan dialek bahasa Melayu yang dituturkan oleh masyarakat Kota Pontianak dan sekitarnya, meskipun masih jauh dari kepunahan namun perlu dilestarikan sebagai tindakan pencegahan agar tidak punah, salah satu upaya pelestarian bahasa daerah yaitu dengan pembuat mesin penerjemah. Mesin Penerjemah Statistik (MPS) adalah sebuah pendekatan mesin penerjemah dengan hasil terjemahan dihasilkan atas dasar model statistik, namun masih terdapat kelemahan yaitu rendahnya tingkat akurasi terjemahan. Proses cleaning adalah proses pencarian dan perbaikan (penghapusan) kata atau kalimat yang salah ataupun tidak sesuai dalam rangka meningkatkan tingkat akurasi terjemahan, salah satu metode yang dapat digunakan pada proses cleaning adalah metode dictionary lookup. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh penerapan metode dictionary lookup pada proses cleaning korpus terhadap akurasi mesin penerjemah statistik bahasa Indonesia – bahasa Melayu Pontianak. Penelitian menggunakan korpus paralel sebanyak 9157 kalimat. Pengujian dilakukan dengan membandingkan nilai akurasi hasil terjemahan sebelum dan setelah cleaning dengan metode dictionary lookup. Pengujian dilakukan dengan pengujian otomatis menggunakan Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU). Dari hasil penelitian, penerapan metode dictionary lookup pada proses cleaning dapat mempengaruhi akurasi MPS, ini terlihat dari terjadinya penurunan sebesar 1,5% pada korpus manual dan penurunan sebesar 6,94% dengan korpus orisinal sementara itu terjadi peningkatan sebesar 2,58% pada korpus clean dic. Berdasarkan hal tersebut penerapan metode dictionary lookup pada proses cleaning dapat menurunkan nilai akurasi hasil terjemahan.

Expressing Raman Spectral Details Through Raman Parameter Information Diagram (RAPID)
Authors: Kumar Rajesh
Published: July 2018

A handy diagram with name RAPID (Raman parameter information diagram) is proposed here which can be

used for listing spectral parameters associated with a Raman spectrum. It is demonstrated how by drawing

simple shapes like lines, triangles etc, it becomes easy to express various nding in a Raman spectrum like

red- (or blue-) shift, asymmetry, broadening, antiresonance etc. It will also be explained how by following

certain protocols, conveying Raman spectral features becomes easier unambiguously in a pictorial form,

proposed to be called as RAPID" diagram. The proposed diagram will certainly prove to be a good tool in

the eld of Raman spectroscopy. It will be noticed that, though it is proposed for Raman spectra, RAPID

diagram can be used for representing features of any spectra.
Введение в детскую онкологию: дескриптивная эпидемиология, клиническая картина и диагностика злокачественных новообразований
Authors: Рыков М. Ю.
Published: July 2018

Резюме. Эффективность лечения детей с онкологическими заболеваниями зависит от своевременности диагностики. По этой причине особая роль принадлежит врачам-участковым педиатрам, которые должны распознать злокачественное новообразование на ранних стадиях и направить пациента на консультацию к врачу-детскому онкологу. Ограниченное число первичных пациентов, выявляемых ежегодно, атипичность течения онкологических заболеваний и отсутствие «онкологической настороженности» приводят к тому, что большая часть пациентов выявляется на распространенных стадиях заболеваний. Лекция рассчитана на широкий круг специалистов (педиатров, лучевых диагностов, патологических анатомов), посвящена клиническим проявлениям и диагностике злокачественных новообразований у детей и содержит алгоритмы обследований, что позволяет сократить время, затрачиваемое на установление диагноза.
Комбинированные оперативные вмешательства при раке прямой кишки
Authors: Борота А. В. , Кухто А. П. , Борота А. А. , Базиян-Кухто Н. К.
Published: July 2018

Цель исследования. На основании разработанной в клинике нейросетевой модели «Экспертная система прогноза операционного риска» провести коррекцию возможных интра- и послеоперационных осложнений при выполнении комбинированных оперативных вмешательств при раке прямой кишки в связи с увеличением продолжительности вмешательства, операционной травмой и незапланированным объемом.

Материал и методы. В клинике общей хирургии на базе проктологического отделения Донецкого клинического территориального медицинского объединения за период с 2012 по 2017г. по поводу рака прямой кишки оперировано 477 пациентов, из них 92 (19,3%) выполнены комбинированные оперативные вмешательства.

Результаты. Учитывая, что операции на прямой кишке относятся к группе условно инфицированных, то после лапаротомии, ревизии органов брюшной полости, оперативное лечение начинали с более чистого этапа (атипичная резекция печени, тубовариоэктомия, резекция мочевого пузыря, экстирпация матки с придатками и т.д.), после этого выполняли основной этап хирургического вмешательства.

Заключение. Разработка экспертной системы прогноза операционного риска интра- и послеоперационных осложнений может служить критериями определения степени риска оперативного вмешательства, а также прогнозирования оценки эффективности выполнения комбинированных оперативных вмешательств у пациентов с раком прямой кишки в режиме реального времени, что обеспечивает полноценную и эффективную коррекцию сопутствующей патологии в предоперационном периоде, профилактику интра- и послеоперационных осложнений, а также проведение эффективной целенаправленной интенсивной терапии у данной категории пациентов, что позволило во всех случаях добиться уменьшения осложнений при сохраненном одномоментном хирургическом радикализме.

Несмотря на продолжительность, объём оперативного вмешательства считаем, что выполнение комбинированных оперативных вмешательств при раке прямой кишки является оптимальным и оправданным, поскольку количество осложнений и функциональные результаты лечения больных в этой группе достоверно не отличается от группы больных со стандартными оперативными вмешательствами.

Published: July 2018

Цель: изучить современные подходы, результаты лечения больных с плоскоклеточным раком головы и шеи.

Материалы и методы: Большинство пациентов с плоскоклеточным раком головы и шеи имеют на момент обращения местнораспространенный опухолевый процесс. Первоначально была принята тактика комбинированного лечения с предоперационным облучением. В 1999 г. были опубликованы результаты рандомизированного исследования RTOG 73–03, убедительно продемонстрировавшего преимущества послеоперационного облучения над дооперационным. Пациенты с плоскоклеточным раком головы и шеи высокого риска являются кандидатами для более агрессивной адъювантной химиолучевой терапии (ХЛТ). Важную роль в лечении плоскоклеточного рака головы и шеи отводят таргетной терапии и внутриартериальной регионарной химиотерапии.

Выводы: разработка методов лечения больных с местнораспространённым плоскоклеточным раком головы и шеи включает в себя сочетание лучевой терапии (неоадъювантной, адъювантной) с химиотерапией (в качестве радиомодификации, неоадъюватная, адъювантная; таргетная терапия, внутриартериальная химиотерапия) с последующим оперативным лечением, что позволяет улучшить показатели безрецидивного периода, а также трёх-, пятилетней выживаемости.

Authors: Esteban Nuñez Maria Teresa , Marquez Medina Adriana , Ortiz Cubides Jhon Everth
Published: July 2018

This article reports a pedagogical implementation carried out with pre-intermediate English students, in an English teacher preparation program at a public university in Colombia. This pedagogical implementation aimed to provide this population with a space to enhance their critical thinking skills through the implementation of a variety of task-based workshops where they were asked to observe, analyze, reflect and discuss about some political cartoons. The data to answer the research question was collected using class video-recordings, students’ artifacts and a focus group. As a result of the pedagogical implementation, it was possible to identify how these students became aware of some social and political issues affecting them and their close context, and the importance of stating a position in front of them. Furthermore, students suggested that the workshops developed had shown them a possible pedagogical path they could follow in their future as language teachers.
A Reflection About Self-plagiarism
Authors: Lopera Medina Sergio Alonso
Published: July 2018

This paper explores self-plagiarism in three different articles that reported results of the same research project on reading in a foreign language. This article follows the qualitative research method and an exploratory case study was used. Results support that both inadequate paraphrasing and adequate paraphrasing were given. Regarding inadequate paraphrasing some similar words and ideas were found. On the other hand, using different authors in a specific idea, having different numbers of words in a common issue, and being versatile to present information might lead to adequate paraphrasing. Conclusions suggest that a dialog between editors and authors must be given in order to clear self-plagiarism up. Finally, conclusions also suggest that editors should consider the inclusion of some similar information in articles written by the same author or the same research members
EFL Learners’ Intercultural Competence Development Through International News
Authors: Gómez-Rodríguez Luis Fernando
Published: July 2018

This case study analyzed how a group of English learners built critical intercultural awareness through the discussion of cultural events as reported in news media such as The New York Times, the U.S. News, and The Telegraph. Learners’ critical reflections on controversial social conflicts related to injustice, gender inequality, and stereotypes in different cultures constituted the core data collected through field notes, logs, and one questionnaire. Findings revealed that English learners not only gained new knowledge about beliefs, values, and behaviors that cause conflict in other cultural communities, but compared them critically to their own culture. This research concluded that integrating news in EFL education can be a salient instructional material to help EFL speakers become more critical intercultural individuals through topics belonging to deep culture.

In Good Company: A Collaborative Autoethnography Describing the Evolution of a Successful Doctoral Cohort
Authors: A Wolfe Kathryn , Berger Nelson Allison , L Seamster Christina
Published: July 2018

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the creation and organization of an organic collaborative doctoral cohort, in order to better understand what makes doctoral cohorts successful. The participant-researchers explore their experience as creators and members of this unique group.

Background: Although adults often prefer to work on their own, cohorts provide opportunities for collaboration as well as academic and professional support. The authors explore the purposeful, knowledgeable, and relational collective learning environment created by these adult students.

Methodology: Through the use of a collaborative autoethnography, the authors are able to examine the individual and collective purpose of this student-led group. This methodology allowed each participant-researcher the opportunity to reflect on their rationale for participating in an organic cohort.

Contribution: While traditional cohorts match students with similar areas of focus, this study found value in the cohort’s diversity. The differing subjects and individual areas of expertise of each cohort member continuously provided a great benefit for each member of the cohort.

Findings: This study found that doctoral cohorts may be more successful if students are allowed to form them on their own. When cohorts are organically created by the members involved, the group can solidify when the timing is right for each member and for the group as a whole.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Directors of doctoral programs should encourage the formation of naturally emerging cohorts by supporting and encouraging relationships among their emerging leader-scholars.

Recommendation for Researchers: This study examined the creation of one organic collaborative cohort; consequently, more research is needed to understand when and how other cohorts form and what the members of other cohorts view as advantageous.

Impact on Society: While this cohort was created during a doctoral program, the practicality of organically created cohorts can be applied to training, group building, or educational programs across varying environments.

Future Research: Because cohorts vary throughout universities and programs, more research is needed on why driven and dedicated individuals choose to create and dedicate themselves to cohorts, rather than working on their own.
The Manuscript Dissertation: A Means of Increasing Competitive Edge for Tenure-track Faculty Positions
Authors: Freeman Jr. Sydney
Published: July 2018

Aim/Purpose: The traditional doctoral dissertation is the first major research project that is led by doctoral students, but it does not necessarily prepare them to publish shorter articles in journals. The manuscript dissertation provides a way for doctoral students to establish themselves as researchers while gaining the experience of developing peer-reviewed manuscripts before graduation, thus enhancing career opportunities as tenure-track faculty.

Background: This paper demonstrates how the manuscript dissertation can be employed to increase doctoral student publications before graduation.

Methodology: This article uses autoethnography to describe the process and results of writing a manuscript dissertation.

Contribution: This paper contrasts dissertation styles, explaining the benefits and challenges of the manuscript dissertation option in particular.

Findings: I found that it was important to have an influential and established dissertation chair, develop credibility by displaying competence and clear goals, being curious about what you don’t know may be an asset and to be humble and comfortable with sharing what you don’t know. I also discuss the personal benefits I gained from developing a manuscript dissertation including producing refereed articles earlier, committee members serve as peer-reviewers of your chapters and gaining the opportunity to learn and master multiple methodological approaches. I also shared the challenges I encountered during my dissertation process which included, committee members not being familiar with and not being willing to invest the time to support me in developing the manuscript dissertation, the timeframe for completion of my dissertation was extended, and balancing my responsibilities as a doctoral candidate. I also discussed challenges that I had not experienced but still could be an issue for others utilizing this style of dissertation including, insuring the cohesion of publications and having the copyediting support.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Dissertation advisors and chairs should consider recommending the manuscript dissertation to doctoral students interested in gaining the experience of developing peer-reviewed manuscripts and becoming tenure-track faculty.

Recommendation for Researchers: Doctoral students interested in becoming tenure-track faculty should consider the manuscript dissertation option as a means of producing publications before graduation, thus increasing competitive edge in the academic job market.

Impact on Society: Publication before graduation will help young scholars to produce high-quality research earlier in their academic careers.

Future Research: Future research should examine the prevalence of the manuscript dissertation, allowing researchers to determine where and how commonly it is used.
General Overview on Selecting and Drafting Construction Contract Disputes Resolution
Authors: Utama Meria , Irsan Irsan
Published: July 2018

A good international contract as the experts considered is the most complicated one the parties must draft carefully. It involves many stakeholders and containing documents to attach likewise financial judgment, technical specifications, work scope, rights, obligation, responsibility and other external factors which are beyond the parties’ consideration. A good design contract will prevent the parties from disputes. The dispute settlement mechanisms should be explicitly stated in the international construction contract. The nullity of the choice dispute settlement mechanisms or in the absence of the choice dispute settlement mechanisms and also the unperformed of the contract purposes will not prevent the dispute from being occurred. The most common process to resolve disputes is through litigation, but the process takes time, energy and funding. The method of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) such as mediation, conciliation, mini-trial, arbitration or other ADR techniques eradicate all the obstacles above. The question arises then, how the parties select the best alternative disputes settlement mechanism and how it should be drafted in their contract. Normative legal research is the method employed to respond the problems. Therefore, this article will elaborate the methods that will effectively settle the constructions disputes and mechanism in drafting construction contract disputes resolutions provisions
Puli - A Problem-Specific OMT Solver
Authors: Kovásznai Gergely , Biró Csaba , Erdélyi Balázs
Published: July 2018

In our previous papers, we investigated several aspects of applying Optimization Modulo Theories (OMT) solvers to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). None of the solvers we used in our experiments scaled enough for WSNs of common size in practice. This is particularly true when investigating additional dependability and security constraints on WSNs of high density.

In this paper, we propose an idea of speeding up the OMT solving process by taking into consideration some resources in the systems and by applying regression analysis on those resource values. For instance, in WSNs, the electrical charge in the batteries of sensor nodes can be considered to be a resource that is being consumed as approaching the maximal lifetime of the network. Another example is the knapsack problem where the remaining capacity of the knapsack can be used as such a resource. We show how to integrate this idea in search algorithms in the OMT framework and introduce a new OMT solver called Puli. We present experiments with Puli on WSN and knapsack benchmarks, which show remarkable improvements in the number of solved instances as well as computation time compared to existing solvers. Furthermore, we show that further significant improvement can be realized on so-called monotonous problems, such as WSN optimization, for which Puli can generate more precise assertions. We present Puli as a work-in-progress prototype that we are planning to upgrade to an official release soon, which we want to make publicly available.

Friction stir welding (FSW) is an innovative solid-state material joining method invented by The Welding Institute (TWI) in 1991 and has been one of the most significant joining technology developments in the last two decades. It has evolved into a process focused on joining arc weldable (5xxx and 6xxx) and unweldable (2xxx and 7xxx) aluminum alloys to a point where it can be implemented by the aerospace and automotive industries for their joining needs.Research towards the further extension of the process to join dissimilar metal combinations like Fe-Al and Al-Cu is currently underway. A few of the important advantages of FSW over conventional joining techniques include improved joint properties and performance, low-deformation of the workpieces, a significant reduction in production costs and the freeing of skilled labor for use in other tasks. Compared to the conventional arc-welding of aluminum alloys, FSW produces a smaller heat affected zone, and it also allows the successful joining of aluminum alloys, steel, titanium, and dissimilar alloys with a stronger joint.

Used electronic equipment became one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world. In the past two decades recycling of printed circuit boards (PCBs) has been based on pyrometallurgy, highly polluting recycling technology which causes a variety of environmental problems. The most of the contemporary research activities on recovery of base and precious metals from waste PCBs are focused on hydrometallurgical techniques as more exact, predictable and easily controlled. In this paper mechanically pretrated PCBs are leached with nitric acid. Pouring density, percentage of magnetic fraction, particle size distribution, metal content and leachability are determined using optical microscopy, atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), X-ray fluorescent spectrometry (XRF) and volumetric analysis. Three hydrometallurgical process options for recycling of copper and precious metals from waste PCBs are proposed and optimized: the use of selective leachants for recovery of high purity metals (fluoroboric acid, ammonia-ammonium salt solution), conventional leachants (sulphuric acid, chloride, cyanide) and eco-friendly leachants (formic acid, potassium persulphate). Results presented in this paper showed that size reduction process should include cutting instead of hammer shredding for obtaining suitable shape and granulation and that for further testing usage of particle size -3 +0.1mm is recommended. Also, Fe magnetic phase content could be reduced before hydro treatment.

Authors: Irawati Erna
Published: July 2018

This research investigates freshmen’s perception on inductive approach through PPP phase in their first speaking class. The researcher tries to integrate the previous students learning experience that were accustomed to the deductive approach with the inductive approach as the solution by implementing the PPP phase. The research is based on qualitative approach with descriptive method. 38 first semester students from English Education Study Program of teacher Training and Education Faculty, Universitas Mathla’ul Anwar Banten were assigned as participants. Questionnaire was evaluated to get insight about freshmen’s perception on Inductive Approach through PPP phase in their first speaking class. As a result, the study reveals that the student's response to all aspects of learning get a high response, 83.11% for inductive approach, 95.39% for PPP phase, and 100% for speaking activity. As the final remark, this means that students give a positive response on inductive approach through PPP phase in their first speaking class with the average score of all aspects 92.84%.
Da Economia do Laissez-Faire à Ética do Libertarianismo
Authors: Hoppe Hans-Hermann
Published: July 2018

O autor mostra, a partir das diferenças entre a ética do laissez faire e o conceito de ética libertária, que não apenas pode ser justificada por meio de um raciocínio a priori, mas também que nenhuma ética alternativa pode ser justificada argumentativamente.
A Liberdade no Pensamento Cultural e Político de Mario Vieira de Mello
Authors: Felipe Kaio
Published: July 2018

O propósito deste artigo é interpretar o conceito de liberdade na obra do diplomata e filósofo Mario Vieira de Mello. A partir de seus três principais livros – Desenvolvimento e Cultura (1963), O Cidadão (1994) e O Humanista: A Ordem na Alma do Indivíduo e na Sociedade (1996) – serão analisados temas como a complicada relação entre razão e liberdade no mundo moderno, a tensão entre as estruturas de cultura e as estruturas de poder e a importância de uma concepção mais humanista da liberdade para revigorar a dimensão ética da política contemporânea.
Alguns Erros Populares Acerca do Escopo e Método da Economia – Parte 1
Authors: Mises Ludwig Von
Published: July 2018

Mises alerta para o erro de confundir História Econômica com Economia e sustenta que a história econômica deve ser interpretada com o auxílio das teorias desenvolvidas pela Economia. Explica qual motivo determina todas as ações de todos os homens, isto é, a remoção de qualquer intranquilidade, direta ou indiretamente e na maior medida possível. Ao buscar tal propósito, os homens são afetados por todas as debilidades e fraquezas da existência humana, mas o que determina o verdadeiro curso dos acontecimentos, a formação dos preços e outros fenômenos chamados econômicos, assim como outros eventos da história humana, são os intentos desses homens falíveis e os efeitos produzidos por suas ações passíveis de erro. Critica ainda a incapacidade dos economistas de pensar logicamente, o abandono do individualismo metodológico e o método macroeconômico.
O Domínio da Economia Subjetiva:
Authors: Buchanan James M.
Published: July 2018

O autor explica que a discussão sobre a metodologia da economia subjetiva precisa considerar um fato e uma hipótese. O fato é que, em qualquer ciência do comportamento humano, o observador está ele próprio em meio ao observado e a hipótese é que os seres humanos escolhem. Observa que as duas interpretações da análise básica de Adam Smith diferem em suas explananda. A primeira tenta explicar os valores de troca relativos das mercadorias e a segunda as instituições de troca em si. A primeira é uma teoria objetiva e a segunda uma teoria subjetiva. O ponto central do autor é que economia positiva ou preditiva é um exercício de triturar o óbvio e que a economia subjetiva pode oferecer análises da dinâmica pela qual uma sociedade de pessoas livres para escolher em um sentido genuíno se desenvolve e prospera. Sugere ainda que o foco da teoria econômica neoclássica, quando comparada à clássica, é alterado de estimativas empíricas para análises de estruturas. Contudo, critica Ludwig von Mises porque pendia em demasia para o domínio da economia subjetiva.
A Teoria do Capital e o Papel da Poupança Voluntária na Criação de Vantagens Comparativas em Bens Intensivo-Capital
Authors: Silva Felipe Rosa da , Branda Domingos Crosseti , Feistel Paulo Ricardo
Published: July 2018

O artigo pretende demonstrar o papel da poupança privada voluntária no processo de acumulação de capital. Para tal expõe-se, primeiramente a teoria do capital desenvolvida por Carl Menger, Böhm-Bawerk e aperfeiçoada por Friedrich Hayek para, posteriormente, centrar-se no papel fundamental da poupança privada voluntária como elemento gerador da acumulação de capital necessária para tornar as economias mais capital-intensivas. A argumentação gira em torno do efeito Ricardo e, posteriormente, das vantagens em se especializar nos insumos em que determinado país é abundante. A principal constatação teórica centra-se na possibilidade de criar vantagens comparativas em bens de capital (via poupança voluntária) indicando um postulado teórico importante para aqueles países que pretendem se industrializar e obter maior inserção competitiva no mercado internacional.
A Poesia da Ordem Espontânea:
Authors: Cantor Paul A.
Published: July 2018

O autor critica a padronização de receitas para a crítica econômica da literatura. Chama a atenção para o espírito anticapitalista das discussões econômicas de literatura, muitas vezes reproduzindo um discurso abertamente pró-socialismo. Questiona se esse modo de pensar seria o mais útil na análise da literatura. Cantor argumenta que a maneira mais eficiente de contrabalançar os efeitos negativos da crítica literária marxista não é negar que a economia tenha relevância para a literatura, mas sim, oferecer uma alternativa positiva ao marxismo para a relação da literatura com a economia, como as ideias da Escola Austríaca de Economia.
Mises e Hayek Desomogeneizados
Authors: Salerno Joseph T.
Published: July 2018

Desde seu renascimento no início dos anos 1970, o que veio a se chamar de “Economia Austríaca” tem sido considerado, pela maior parte de seus adeptos contemporâneos, como a continuação de uma tradição unificada que pode ser rastreada até Carl Menger. Este artigo desafia essa perspectiva e argumenta que, de fato, duas tradições muito diferentes emergiram do trabalho de Menger. Uma tradição pode ser rastreada, através da obra de F. A. Hayek, a Friedrich Wieser, um dos dois seguidores mais proeminentes de Menger. A outra tradição emana dos escritos do outro discípulo principal de Menger, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, e inclui seu aluno Ludwig von Mises. Este ensaio defende a tese de que essas duas tradições separadas existem e foram confundidas pelos austríacos modernos.
