Authors: Zhang Yaqun , Zhang Chuantao , Yao Na , Huang Jingxian , Sun Xiangshan , Zhao Bingran , Li Hengde
Published: October 2021

Penaeus japonicus is one of the most important farmed shrimp species in many countries. Sexual dimorphism is observed in P. japonicus, in which females grow faster and larger than males; therefore, a unisexual female culture of P. japonicus could improve the efficiency of productivity. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying sex determination in P. japonicus are unclear. In this study, we constructed a high-density genetic linkage map of P. japonicus using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) technology in a full-sib family. The final map was 3,481.98 cM in length and contained 29,757 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). These SNPs were distributed on 41 sex-averaged linkage groups, with an average inter-marker distance of 0.123 cM. One haplotype, harboring five sex-specific SNPs, was detected in linkage group 1 (LG1), and its corresponding confidence interval ranged from 211.840 to 212.592 cM. Therefore, this high-density genetic linkage map will be informative for genome assembly and marker-assisted breeding, and the sex-linked SNPs will be helpful for further studies on molecular mechanisms of sex determination and unisexual culture of P. japonicus in the future.

Published: October 2021

Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. glycinea (Psg) causes bacterial blight of soybean. To identify candidate virulence factors, transposon-mediated mutational analysis of Psg was carried out. We syringe-inoculated soybean leaves with Psg transposon mutants and identified 28 mutants which showed reduced virulence from 1,000 mutants screened. Next, we spray-inoculated soybean leaves with these mutants and demonstrated that the algU mutant showed significantly reduced virulence together with reduced bacterial populations in planta. Expression profiles comparison between the Psg wild-type (WT) and algU mutant in HSC broth revealed that expression of coronatine (COR)-related genes (including cmaA and corR) were down-regulated in the algU mutant compared with Psg WT. Moreover, we also showed that COR production were reduced in the algU mutant compared with WT. We also demonstrated that algD, which is related to alginate biosynthesis, showed reduced expression and biofilm formation was significantly suppressed in the algU mutant. Furthermore, hrpL also showed less expression in the algU mutant. These results indicate that AlgU plays a critical role in promoting Psg pathogenesis by regulating multiple virulence factors.
Distribution and fractionation of rare earth elements in suspended particulate matter in a coastal river, Southeast China
Authors: Liu Man , Han Guilin
Published: October 2021

Background

In the river system, the geochemistry of rare earth elements (REEs, a series of elements from La to Lu) in suspended particulate matter (SPM) is generally controlled by rock weathering processes and hydrochemical characteristics, as well as being affected by anthropogenic activities. However, the variations of geochemical characteristics and behaviors of REEs in SPM with a salinity gradient from the inland river to the estuary have been short of a systematic understanding.

Methods

The REE concentrations, Post Archean Australia Shale (PAAS)-normalized REE, La/Yb, La/Sm, and Sm/Yb ratios of SPM were investigated in the Jiulongjiang River, which is a coastal river mainly flowing through granite rocks in Southeast China. The correlation relationships between physicochemical parameters (including water pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), HCO3– concentrations, and the concentrations of major elements of SPM) and PAAS-normalized REE ratios of SPM were analyzed to determine the factors that affect the REE concentration and fractionation of SPM in the different regions of Jiulongjiang River, including the main stream and tributary of Beixi River, Xixi River, Nanxi River, and estuary. Additionally, the Ce, Eu, and Gd anomalies of SPM were estimated.

Results

The average ∑REE concentration of SPM (352 mg/kg) in the granite rock basin was twice higher than the mean value (175 mg/kg) of the world’s rivers. The PAAS-normalized REE ratios of SPM in the main rivers including Beixi River (main stream), Xixi River, and Nanxi River were near due to the same lithologic distribution. In the tributary of Beixi River, the input of low-weathered carbonate minerals which contain very few REE caused the lower REE concentrations of SPM. The PAAS-normalized REE ratios of SPM in the estuary were significantly lower than those in the main rivers, which was mainly attributed to the significant REE removal with the increment of salinity. The enrichment of LREE relative to HREE in SPM increased with decreasing water pH in the main rivers. In the estuary, the preferential removal of dissolved LREE occurred compared to HREE with the increment of salinity. The negative Ce and Eu anomalies of SPM occurred in both the main rivers and estuary region and rare Gd pollution was present in the basin. Additionally, human activities caused the increment of REE concentrations and more negative Ce anomaly at some specific sites, such as dam effect and agricultural pollution.

Conclusions

The REE concentrations and fractionations of SPM in river water mainly depend on lithologic distribution and riverine pH, while they are affected by salinity in the estuary.

Authors: Edwards Rosario , Greene Margarita
Published: October 2021

En el contexto del aumento de las migraciones hacia Chile provenientes de América Latina y el Caribe, que equivalen al 87,8% del total de inmigrantes en el país al año 2017, el artículo se enfoca en la migración haitiana, una de las más singulares del último tiempo. Se aborda el habitar migrante en la ciudad de Santiago desde una aproximación multiescalar y temporal con métodos y escalas complementarias. Se describen los procesos de ocupación territorial de los principales colectivos a nivel de ciudad, se analizan las estrategias de inserción social y económica a nivel de barrio y, posteriormente, se identifican las configuraciones del grupo habitacional a escala doméstica. Analizar estas dinámicas migratorias a distintas escalas simultáneamente nos revela cómo las redes interpersonales organizan espacialmente las migraciones y modelan los espacios que las albergan en todos sus niveles.
Dystocia in a wild Western Tiger Snake (Notechis scutatus occidentalis)
Authors: Cornelis Jari , Lettoof Damian , Lam Lucinda , Loughridge Sam , Aubret Fabien
Published: October 2021

Dystocia in reptiles is the retention of ova or foetuses within the female due to the failure of the female to complete parturition or oviposition. This disorder is commonly observed in captive reptiles, but has rarely been reported in wild reptiles. We observed a large internal obstruction in an adult female Tiger Snake captured as part of an ongoing population study. We failed to palpate out the object in the field, so we took the snake to a veterinary practice for professional assistance. All non-lethal methods of extracting the object were unsuccessful so we euthanised the specimen and post-mortem dissection revealed five mummified stillborn young lodged in a sealed reproductive tract. Reproductive abnormalities are frequent in Tiger Snakes and large proportions of litters can be comprised of unfertilised eggs, fertilised aborted eggs and stillborn young, yet none of these observations ever resulted in dystocia. It is interesting that this observation occurred in a snake from Herdsman Lake, Western Australia, where the Tiger Snake population is subjected to many anthropogenic stressors. We cannot determine what caused this case of dystocia but suspect it may have been caused by some sort of negative effect onset by the quality of the environment.

Authors: Abdulaziz K. , Kundu K. K. , Malik D. P.
Published: October 2021

An investigation on the growth and economic profitability of rice production was conducted in Karnal district of Haryana, India in 2019-20. A sample of 30 farmers from Karnal district were interviewed to collect relevant information related to various expenses incurred in the cultivation of rice and output attained as well as constraints encountered in production of rice. Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) results revealed an increasing trend in area, production and yield of rice in Haryana. Large instability suggests that there was more variability in area, production and yield in Haryana than in India during the period under study. Highest cost was incurred in variety Basmati CSR-30 (Rs. 763kg-1) cultivation. Similarly, highest net profit was realized in the cultivation of Basmati CSR-30 (Rs. 202kg-1). Lack of remunerative prices was the main constraint in rice cultivation. Thus, cultivation of rice could be made more profitable by upward review of per unit price of rice and looking into other avenues to incentivize the rice farmers. Similarly, research should be reoriented to reduce the production cost and improving yield which have direct effect on profitability.

Stereotyping and Othering of Non-White Characters in “Harry Potter” Movies
Authors: Adelia Nadia
Published: October 2021

This thesis focuses on the way the non-white characters, such as Black and Asian, are portrayed in Harry Potter movies. The non-white people are put in the group of unimportant characters. Their characters seem to be portrayed differently compared to the white characters in term of their characterizations. Using film language theory, such as body language and dialogue, I find there are Stereotyping and Othering towards the non-white characters. I analyze the Stereotyping toward non-white characters such as Cho Chang and Kingsley Shacklebolt as the Asian and Black character using the gestures, facial expression, costumes, and dialogues. I also analyze the Othering towards non-white characters such as Centaurs and Dre Head as the non-human characters using the appearance, accents, and costume. Also, the Yule Ball costume for Cho Chang and Patil twins also shows exoticism because of the races of the characters. Keywords: Racism, Stereotyping, Othering, Representation, Fantasy Fiction

#nofilter: Online Personas and The Negative Impacts of Social Media on Young Adults’ Self-esteem
Authors: Godwin Jessica
Published: October 2021

My novel #nofilter follows Mia, a photo model who is pretty famous on the social media platform Instagram, as she meets Kyle, her online boyfriend for the first time. In an effort to earn other people’s acceptance, Mia has been building a perfect online persona. However, after meeting Kyle, it is revealed that she is not who she portrays herself to be. As my work revolves on how social media affects someone’s self-esteem, hopefully it can help the readers learn to love themselves and do not depend their self-esteem on others. Specifically, I focus on how Mia maintains an idealized online persona in order to cope with her low self-esteem and earn other people’s acceptance, how the contrast between Mia’s online and real life personas causes her relationship with Kyle to crumble, and how Mia learns to love herself by accepting her weaknesses and acknowledging her positive qualities. For that reason, I use Contingencies of Self-esteem theory by Jennifer Crocker and Connie T. Wole, the Social Comparison theory, and the Presentation of Self in Everyday Life by Erving Goffman. Set in the early years after college, I use New Adult genre and the sub-genre Contemporary Romance to explore Kyle and Mia’s romantic relationship. Keywords: Social media, Instagram, self-esteem, online persona, New Adult, Contemporary Romance

Published: October 2021

PT. WY is a manufacturing company which produces household and personal care products. Their main target market is family. The main problem is that new employees have no idea what to expect from this company, since there is no written information about employee benefits. Based on interviews and surveys, most employees did not know about the employee benefits of PT. WY, and the HRD representatives also agreed that they often asked about it. PT. WY actually has the handout, however, it is not complete yet, so they did not use it. Therefore, the solution is a handbook to describe employee benefits for the new employees. This project is done after reviewing theories by Bloomfield, Schofield, and Cantesbury (2015) and Martocchio (2016) and information from the company. This handbook is expected to help the company and its employees to always refer every information to the handbook. Keywords: employee, benefits, handbook

Captain America’s, Ironman’s, and Thor’s Anxiety and Defense Mechanism in The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron
Authors: Bilbo Adrianus Aditya Christaldo
Published: October 2021

This thesis aims to discuss  the anxiety and defense mechanism of three main characters of the superhero movies, namely, Marvel’s The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron. The three main characters discussed have the capabilities to save the world. Yet, despite their capabilities as superheroes, they have their own weaknesses, just like human beings. In my analysis, I investigate  the weaknesses of the main characters, namely, Captain America, Ironman, and Thor. Using Cramer’s concept of anxiety and defense mechanism (1991, 2009, 2016), I find that their weaknesses triggers anxiety. In return, their anxiety creates fear and guilt. These fear and guilt lead Captain America, Ironman, and Thor to developing their defense mechanism. However, each main character use different kinds of defense mechanism. Captain America uses denial. Ironman uses denial and rationalization. Thor uses repression. To sum up, I conclude that although the main characters in The Avengers and The Avengers: Age of Ultron are superheroes, they have their own weaknesses and they are still human. Keywords: Defense mechanism, anxiety, movie, action

The Causes of Richie Tenenbaum’s Suicide Attempt in The Royal Tenenbaums
Authors: Preiffer Steffanie
Published: October 2021

This thesis discussed suicide action in a dramedy movie. In the movie, the decision of suicide begins with negative experiences in childhood which is experienced by Richie, one of the male characters in The Royal Tenenbaums. The purpose of this thesis is to show Richie’s negative self-schema which exists during his childhood, influences how he sees himself and his surroundings. In addition, this thesis exists to reveal the reasons why Richie decides to attempt suicide in his adult life. The theory of negative self-schema shows that Richie’s negative self-schema exists during his childhood is because of divorced parents and criticism. The interpersonal theory of suicide reveals that Richie’s situation matches the criteria of someone who is able to kill himself. First, Richie sees himself as burden to others because he falls into self-hatred perspective and liability. Second, he has faced loneliness, the feeling of lack of reciprocal relationship, and the feeling of social disconnectedness which makes him has a low belongingness. Lastly, these situations make have the ability to do self-harm and strong desire to die. Those steps lead Richie to attempt suicide. Through this analysis, I found that self-esteem and social support give a strong impact for someone’s suicide decision. Keywords: Suicide attempt, negative self-schema, perceived burdensomeness, low belongingness, self-harm

When LG G5 was released newly, LG G5 had special functions, unique designs, and several additional device and modular types. Therefore, LG G5 advertisement is worth researching. This research attempts to discover the perceived meaning in G5’s advertisement of LG. At the elaborations of research problem, two research questions arise as follows (1) how meaning is in the advertisement created through verbal expression (2) how meaning is in the advertisement supported by visual expression. The theories used are semiotics, signification, denotation and connotation. Methods are descriptive qualitative. The findings imply that LG G5 is a symbol of happiness, enjoyment, and an icon of fancy and modernity by the verbal expression. In addition, this shows LG G5’s brand image as LG is technology innovation company, as well as a company that support happiness in people’s life by verbal and non-verbal expression.Keywords: Visual and verbal images, life, good, happiness, phone, modular type
Comparing Translation Strategies of Two Different Translators of 'Tintin In Tibet'
Authors: Thionarto Theresia Lunetta , Rini Julia Eka
Published: October 2021

This study discusses the differences in Indonesian translations of Tintin in Tibet published by two different publishers. The translation strategies used in these books were qualitatively analyzed using the theory of Mona Baker (2018). The rank of the most dominant strategies, from the most frequent to the less, used by the translators are paraphrase using the unrelated word, paraphrase using the related word, cultural substitution, omission, and less expressive word. The naturalness of the translation is affected by the strategies and by the traits of the character and context. In the translation of swear words, the best strategy used to translate the swear words are cultural substitution. It is better than other strategies because the readers can understand more if familiar swear words are used. In conclusion, both translators have different results of natural translation, but in the translation of swear words, the translator of Indira provides more natural translation.Keywords: Translation, translation strategies, natural, swear words

Serving as the theoretical framework are Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Development, the concept of Praise Paradox, Body Image, and Colorism. In the first and second story, the main characters have low self-esteem because they feel unappreciated, and they later feel more loved and happier after overcoming their issues. In the third story, the main character has low self-esteem because she keeps receiving the wrong type of praise but later becomes calmer after overcoming her issue. The main characters in the fourth and fifth story have low self-esteem because of their appearances, but they will later be more confident and secure after overcoming their issues.Keywords: Children Picture-Books, Self-Esteem, Psychosocial Development, Praise Paradox, Body Image, Colorism
This is My Country (?) Exploring Denial in Relation to the Negative Aspects of Nationalism in Indonesia.
Authors: Salim Edward , Limanta Liem Satya
Published: October 2021

Nationalism is a central part of Indonesian ideology, but few Indonesians recognise or acknowledge its more negative elements out of denial. As such, the nation rarely addresses the numerous human right violations committed in the past for the sake of upholding this ideology. In response to this issue, I wrote this novel to show the detrimental effects of denial have on people, as well as the way to cope with it. This creative work takes on the perspective of a soldier in the New Order era, who in the effort to find his missing brother, encounters the harsh reality in Buru island that forces him to reconsider his naïve understanding of nationalism.Keywords: Denial, Nationalism, Nation, Indonesia, Buru, Historical Fiction, History, Novel

Authors: Limantara Clarence Finlay
Published: October 2021

Nowadays, Chinese-Indonesians have already been modernized and many of them do not understand what rituals they have to undergo on their wedding day. It becomes a good opportunity for event organizers (EO) to do their businesses in arranging weddings. In this research, I am interested in finding out about the roles of event organizers in arranging Chinese-Indonesian wedding rituals. This study focuses on the roles of EO in running their business and arranging Chinese wedding rituals using the theory of consumerism. In consumerism, Chinese-Indonesian wedding rituals as a part of culture, can also be regarded as a product to be bought and sold. The data collected are from interviews with some EOs in Surabaya to find out the roles of EO in arranging Chinese-Indonesian wedding rituals. There are three different roles of EO, which are informant, organizer, and seller. Moreover, EO has the responsibility in succeeding the client’s wedding day.Keywords: Commodity, Consumerism, Event Organizer, Chinese-Indonesian, Wedding Ritual.
Multimodal Analysis on Product Placement in Korean Drama: “Goblin”
Authors: Kristiva Natalia , Suprajitno Setefanus
Published: October 2021

Many companies try to find innovative ways of reaching their target market and promoting their products. Product placement (PPL) is one of such innovative ways. PPL has become popular in marketing communication because the promotion in it is quite subtle. It happens because in PPL, the advertisement is integrated in the structure of the narratives of TV series or films where PPL takes place. Thus, PPL can skirt the negative view toward advertising. In this study, we examine how PPL convey advertising messages in Korean drama, Guardian: Great and Lonely God (Goblin). In so doing, by using multimodal theory we analyze the verbal and non-verbal communication practices found some scenes of the Korean drama, and the meaning of PPL semiotic resources in those scenes express. Our findings show that PPL conveys the advertising messages through the acting, the facial expression, and the shot of products.Keywords: Product Placement, Multimodal, Modes, Goblin, Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication

Path of Survivors: An Analysis of Boy Erased and The Miseducation of Cameron Post
Authors: Tedjakarna Trisha Zoe
Published: October 2021

This study aims to analyse the impacts of conversion therapy and the self-transformation of the main characters in Boy Erased and The Miseducation of Cameron Post, which are two films published post-legalisation of same-sex marriage in America. Both main characters showed signs of self-loathing, decreased authenticity, and feeling anger and disappointment due to conversion therapy. The two characters are first portrayed as victims and survivor of conversion therapy at the end of the film. Jared was shown as a silent victim turned outspoken survivor. Cameron was shown as a rebellious victim and survivor. Both films showed the growth from victims into survivors, which gave a strong, capable and hopeful image of homosexuals and is a contrast from some representation of homosexuals of the past. Despite the similarity in ending up as survivors, the two characters picked different fights. Keywords: Homosexual, Film, Victim, Survivor, Conversion therapy.

As he faces bullying and other grievances, Alex begins to have self-doubt and feel ashamed and isolated.

Multimodal Analysis: Revealing Bayu Skak’s Frustration in “Valentine Janc#k” Video
Authors: Alamsyah Natasya Evelyn
Published: October 2021

This qualitative study aimed to know the meaning of an expression especially Bayu’s expressions in this “Valentine Janc#k” video. Expression is something that cannot be separated from a conversation. The expression itself has various meanings; sometimes the same expression can have two or even more meanings. To get the accurate meaning, all aspects within us must work together such as: facial expressions, gesture, and also the choice of words used. Just like what the writer found in this "Valentine Janc#k" video, where Bayu shows an expression like being angry which the writer then follows up to get the accurate meaning. In doing so, the writer uses a multimodal theory which focuses on semiotic modes such as linguistic modes, gestural modes, and visual modes. Then, the writer found out that all of the facial expressions, gestures, and also the setting of the place that the writer analyzes in the video show signs of expression that lead to frustration. When talking about Valentine, Bayu shows an annoyed and unpleasant facial expression, the body movements shown by Bayu also show disinterest in the topic of conversation, as well as a messy viewpoint which describes Bayu's messed feelings for Valentine. The choice of words Bayu uses against Valentine (swear words) also plays a big role in showing the frustration. Keywords: multimodal, semiotic modes, lingustic modes, gestural modes, visual modes
