Authors: Erpiana Erna , Rasyid Yumna , Zuriyati Zuriyati
Published: December 2020

Abstrack. Style of language can be interpreted as an individual way of expressing ideas or characteristics of how individuals communicate. A politician has his own style, even the head of state, community leaders and even writers. The essence is that nothing is really the same in someone's style, both when speaking and writing. In stylistic studies it is often referred to as a linguistic approach to literature, because literature is inseparable from the medium of language. This paper will discuss the style of language in the lyrics of the song Berkelana ke Ujung Dunia by Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Song lyrics are considered to be the same as poetry, so the study of song lyrics is right using stylistic studies with the method of content analysis. The purpose of this study is to describe: (1) the style of words in the song Berkelana ke Ujung Dunia; (2) The sentence style in the song Berkelana ke Ujung Dunia; (3) Figure of speech in the song Berkelana ke Ujung Dunia.

Desiring Domestic Workers in "The Maid" and "The Desert Bride"
Authors: Osborne Elizabeth
Published: December 2020

This article analyzes the representation of feminine desires in two Southern Conefilms, The Maid (La nana, Sebastián Silva, Chile, 2009) and The Desert Bride (La novia del desierto, Valeria Pivato and Cecilia Atán, Argentina/Chile, 2017), that feature female protagonists who have worked as live-in domestic employees for the same families for over twenty years. Both films eschew traditional depictions of domestic workers as either servile or aggressive to instead present these women as desiring and desirable subjects, thereby questioning how desire and desirability are determined by dominant social norms of femininity predicated on privileges of age, class, and race. Following Rosi Braidotti’s work on nomadism, the article examines desire, as depicted in these films, as a fluid notion that emphasizes transformation and the process of becoming. Ultimately the desires that the protagonists experience in horizontal, affective relationships lead them to embrace newfound independence outside of employment.
Towards a ‘Perverse’ Brechtianism
Authors: Harris Jonathan
Published: December 2020

In 1990, Thomas Elsaesser wrote that Brechtian aesthetics are toothless in a hyperreal image culture. Thirty years on, this essay reworks the notion of distanciation by asking: what if we cannot decide whether the unnatural behavior of characters on screen is the product of Brechtian alienation or of the character’s own perversion, but rather is caused by both (and therefore neither)? To chart the transition between orthodox and “perverse” Brechtianisms, this essay compares a film by a director whose melodramas are often read as examples of Brechtian cinema, Douglas Sirk’s All That Heaven Allows (1955), and a film by a contemporary director whose work is often misread as the very thing it satirizes, Paul Verhoeven’s Elle (2016). This essay argues that, in the absence of a world “out there” to represent, the techniques of Brecht become perverse, a Sadean laboratory for the rehearsal of illicit forms of pleasure.

This paper presents the results of a research that explored the context and intense dedication of the American chemist Gilbert Newton Lewis, aiming to investigate the consolidation of the shared pair theory that justified the formation of chemical bonds in the molecules from the elucidation of the atom. which we risk calling the atomic model. Original works by the twentieth century author were analyzed, specifically the article published in 1916, The Atom and the Molecule, and the 1923 book, Valence and the Structure of Atoms and Molecules. It was also analyzed periodical articles by scientists that in one way or another were directly related to the researched, either by laying the groundwork for Lewis's studies or by being directly related to their research. It is hoped with this work that the figure of Lewis will be remembered not only by one of his theories, but as a fundamental scientist for the construction of chemical knowledge encouraging everyone who, in some way, as undergraduate, postgraduate students. undergraduate or even acting teachers, were attached to it.
Treatment outcomes of uterine lesion resection versus hysterectomy for cesarean scar pregnancy
Authors: Wang X.R. , Wang Y.F. , Kang S.W. , Zhang Y.
Published: December 2020

Objective: To compare the effects of uterine lesion resection (ULR) and hysterectomy on cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). Materials and Methods: A total of 147 patients admitted from January 2009 to January 2019 and diagnosed as CSP by pathological examination were selected, of whom 105 underwent ULR and 42 received hysterectomy. The gestational age, size of gestational mass, serum β-hCG level, previous treatments and clinical outcomes of the two groups were compared. Results: Compared with the hysterectomy group, the ULR group had significantly lower gestational age, size of gestational mass and proportion of persistent CSP (p < 0.05), and significantly higher serum β-hCG level (p = 0.011). The median gestational ages of ULR and hysterectomy groups at termination of pregnancy were 67 d and 83 d, respectively, and their median bleeding volumes were 400 mL and 650 mL, respectively (p < 0.05). In the ULR group, the median bleeding volumes of patients with gestational age of ≥ 10 weeks (n = 48) and < 10 weeks (n = 57) were 500 mL and 300 mL, respectively (p < 0.05). Twenty-one cases (20%, 21/105) were switched to hysterectomy due to emergency CSP during curettage, of whom 6 had uterine perforation and 15 had massive bleeding (200-800 mL). The hysterectomy group all received emergency hysterectomy owing to massive bleeding. The proportions of blood transfusion and emergency CSP in the ULR group were significantly lower than those of the hysterectomy group (p < 0.01). Twenty-one patients (14.29%, 21/147) in the two groups suffered from serious complications. Neither group had bladder injury. Conclusion: ULR was mainly suitable for CSP patients with the gestational age of 9-10 weeks at termination of pregnancy, gestational mass size of 60-90 mm, failed initial treatment but stable hemodynamics. Hysterectomy instead of ULR was safer for patients in critical conditions with the gestational age of > 12 weeks.

Authors: Sun Y. , Chen X. , Yuan X. , Xu L. , Jin Y.C. , Ji T.H. , Wang X.L. , Dai H.H. , Cheng W.J.
Published: December 2020

Background: The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) with oral progestin for preventing the recurrence of endometrial polyps after hysteroscopic resection. Materials and Methods: Computerized literature search was performed in PubMed and several Chinese databases to screen for relevant trials. Quality assessment and meta-analysis were performed for the included trials. Results: A total of 19 randomized controlled trials were identified. Meta-analysis indicated that the LNG-IUS group was associated with lower recurrence rate of endometrial polyps than the oral progestin group (p < 0.0001), while there was no significant difference in the incidence of abnormal uterine bleeding between groups (p > 0.05). In terms of adverse effects related to progestin, the LNG-IUS group had significantly fewer adverse effects than the oral progestin group (p < 0.0001). Additionally, the LNG-IUS group had thinner endometrium and higher hemoglobin levels than the oral progestin group (p < 0.00001). Conclusion: The LNG-IUS was more effective and safer in preventing the recurrence of endometrial polyps after hysteroscopic resection than oral progestin.

Published: December 2020

The present study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms by which chorioamnionitis affects the intrauterine development of the human eye at the molecular level, utilising immunohistochemistry. The expression of six different proteins and glycoproteins in human foetal eyes was examined after labelling with specific antibodies. Fifteen out of 87 specimens had a normal appearance without inflammatory lesions. The rest showed chorioamnionitis of various degrees. Some of the foetuses had Down syndrome, toxoplasma or CMV (cytomegalovirus) infection, or a hydatidiform mole (partial mole). The expression of vimentin, myosin, desmin, fibronectin, tenascin-C and tenascin-R was detected and quantified. The results demonstrate that, while the expression of all five proteins and glycoproteins was entirely normal in foetuses with a low grade or no inflammation in the chorion and amnion, expression was significantly impaired in cases of at least moderate chorioamnionitis. This was especially marked in the case of previous intrauterine toxoplasma or CMV infection or Down syndrome. Our findings suggest that chorioamnionitis itself and not preterm birth alone may be, at least to some extent, directly responsible for the structural abnormalities often found in the eyes of children who survive. This is compatible with the existence of a possible direct mechanism, by which this condition might contribute to the manifestation of retinopathy of prematurity.

Published: December 2020

Purpose of Investigation: To investigate the alterations of SCUBE1 levels in patients with missed abortion. Materials and Methods: Patients with missed abortion (n = 40) and age and gestational age-matched with normal early pregnancy cases (n = 40) were recruited for the study. All the patients’ ultrasound examinations were performed by single physician to assess the variability of conception. And to evaluate the SCUBE1 levels, venous blood samples were collected and measured with specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Results: SCUBE1 levels were found lower at missed group than control group (p < 0.001) while other hematologic parameters were similar in both groups. Conclusion: Low maternal blood levels of the SCUBE1 may be related with missed abortion by causing alterations in placental angiogenesis.

Published: December 2020

Williams syndrome (WS) is a rare genetic disorder which leads to high social motivation as well as intellectual disability and difficulties with social interaction. Attention to others’ eyes is crucial for social understanding. Individuals with WS are typically highly attentive to faces, but there is a lack of knowledge about how they attend to other’s eyes, and the mechanisms underlying potential alterations in behavior. It has been suggested that physiological hypo-arousal enables individuals with WS to maintain their gaze longer at other’s faces. The aim of this study was to better understand if there is atypical gaze behavior among individuals with WS which might underlie their reduced social understanding and related difficulties with social interaction. We examined the speed and likelihood of gaze shifts to and from other’s eyes in individuals with WS (n = 37; mean age 23 years), and controls (n = 167) in stratified age groups (7 months, 8-12 years, 13-17 years, adults). Peak saccadic velocity was studied as an index of arousal. Individuals with WS were less likely, and slower, to orient to the eyes compared with typically developing controls in all age groups from eight years of age but did not differ from 7-month-old infants. Peak saccadic velocity was reduced in WS, replicating previous results of hypo-arousal. The results were supported by both frequentist and Bayesian statistics. Despite the hyper-social behavioral phenotype, WS is associated with reduced attention to others’ eyes. This could contribute to the difficulties with complex social interaction observed in WS.

Growth, productivity, physical and economic optima and yield gaps estimation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) through site specific nutrient management approaches under inner-Terai region of Chitwan, Nepal
Authors: Marasini Sudeep , Amgain Lal Prasad
Published: December 2020

An on-farm field experiment was accomplished during the winter season of 2018/19 under inner Terai region at Khairahani, Chitwan for evaluating the influence of various site specific nutrient management approaches on growth, yield, optimum fertilizer dose and yield gaps of wheat (Triticum aestivum, L.). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in three replications with different eight nutrient management practices: T1- farmers fertilization practice (FFP) (52:33:18 kg NPKha-1), T2 - Blanket recommendation (BR) (100:50:25 kg NPK ha-1), T3 - SSNM-NE (110:47:46 kg NPK ha-1),T4 - LCC-N+NE-P&K, T5 - NE-N + farmers -P&K, T6 - LCC- N + farmers–P&K, T7 - Nitrogen Omission Plot (NOPT) + NE- P&K, and T8 - NARC recommendation (120:60:40 kg NPK ha-1). The result findings indicated that the NARC recommendation was comparatively superior over other treatments in terms of plant height, dry matter accumulation, crop growth rate and yield, but the profitability (B:C ratio) was found higher in SSNM-Nutrient Expert recommendation. The physical and economic optimum level of fertilizer for wheat obtained was 135:47.66:43.94 kg NPK ha-1 and 130: 47.86:43.61 kg NPK ha-1, respectively. The yield gaps between farmers practice and SSNM-Nutrient Expert was found to be 110% and 41%, respectively over potential yield of wheat. Thus, it could be suggested that there is great potential to improve the yield of wheat through the NARC recommendation and the SSNM- Nutrient Expert model to raise sustained productivity and income of wheat farmers in inner-Terai region of Nepal.
Zero till in wheat from the gender perspective in Nepal
Authors: Sapkota Sudha , Shrestha Shukra Raj , Adhikari Surya Prasad , Jha Sanjeet Kumar , Gairhe Samaya
Published: December 2020

Different tillage practices such as zero-till direct-seeded rice (ZTDSR), zero-till maize (ZTM), and zero-till wheat (ZTW) were implemented in the farmer's field of Sunsari district were evaluated. However, the focus was on ZTW because of high its competitiveness with cheaper wheat from abroad. Focus Group Discussion (FGD), Famers households keeping records, field monitoring, key informant interviews were the primary source of data whereas literature and desktop review were done for secondary data. Zero till wheat operation scale out of the machine use had been increased, by 61.25% out of 109.63ha land in Bhokraha and 66.49 % out of 55.3ha of land in Kaptangunj. Whereas, a new node Chitaha was established with the initiation of non-respondent farmer's where the area occupied 26ha in the year of 2019 respectively as compared to the base year that of 2014. Yield advantage was not much higher with ZTW, the additional benefit of almost 34% over conventional till wheat (CTW) was sufficient enough for the farmers to decide to adopt zero tillage technology. Farmers perceived about 17% saving in seed requirement, 13% saving in irrigation amount and time, and 44% saving in total labor cost with ZTW to make it more profitable as compared to CTW. Among different methods of extension, farmers’ field day with 63% and field trial with 48% with women's participation shows the most effective method to create awareness. Although the percentage of the working hour for the female worker is higher the number of the total hour has been decreased for both the man and women and the total 303.64hr/ha has been saved.

Published: December 2020

An experiment was conducted at research field of National Sugarcane Research Program, Jeetpur, Nepal in 2014 and 2016, to evaluate the efficacy of chemical insecticides against sugarcane top borer (Scirpophaga excerptalis Walker). Nine different treatments viz. Chlorantraniliprole 0.4 G, Cartap hydrochloride 4 G, Fipronil 0.3 G, Carbofuran 3 G (standard check) as soil application and foliar spray of Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC, Thiodicarp 75 WP, Spinosad 45 SC, Chlorpyrifos 20 EC (standard check) and one untreated check (control) were used in randomized complete block design with three replications. The top borer susceptible genotype, Co 0238 was planted on February and single application of these insecticides was done on July at brood stage against top borers. The lowest 10.65 and 12.43, 13.68, 14.61, 14.15 percentage of top borer damage was found in foliar application of Chlorantraniliprole @ 35g a.i. /ha followed by Spinosad @ 125g a.i. /ha and soil application of Cartap hydrochloride @ 1500g a.i /ha and foliar application of Thiodicarp @ 1500g a.i. /ha and Fipronil @ 100g a.i. /ha. The infestation percentage reduction over control was found highest in Chlorantraniliprole (69.40%) followed by Spinosad (64.29%) treated plots. Furthermore, the cane yield was highest in Chlorantraniliprole (92.30 mt/ha) and Spinosad (90.06 mt/ha) treated plots than that of other insecticide treated plots. The number of millable canes and cane diameter in the plots among the treatment was found non-significant. Based on the infestation reduction rate, foliar application of the chemical insecticide (Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC and Spinosad 45 SC) could be better option for chemical management of sugarcane top borer.
GENEALOGI ORTOGRAFI ARAB (Sebuah tinjauan Historis: Asal-usul, Rumpun Bahasa dan Rekaman Inskripsi)
Authors: Hula Ibnu Rawandhy
Published: December 2020

Penelusuran turunan bahasa Arab dari hulu sampai hilir sangat berkaitan dengan historisasi bangsa-bangsa yang pernah eksis di masa lampau, sehingga melahirkan penciri aksara dan karakteristik huruf dan model tulisannya. Penelitian ini berupaya mengungkap secara historis ortografi Arab dilihat dari aspek teori asal-usulnya, rumpun bahasanya dan bukti rekaman inskripsi yang telah ditemukan oleh para sejarawan dan arkeologi. Ortografi Arab dari hulunya berasal dari ortografi mesir kuno dalam bentuk Hieroglif, berbentuk ukiran, yang sebelumnya masih berbentuk Pictography  (tulisan paku) dari bangsa Babilonia dan Sumeria (3000 SM) yang merupakan umat Nabi Nuh a.s. Dari nabi Nuh inilah maka para ahlipun memberikan pendapat bahwa rumpun bahasa Arab berasal bangsa Semit, yang dinisbatkan kepada anaknya (Sam bin Nuh). Ortografi Arab kemudian berkembang melahirkan ortografi Feniqi, selanjutnya terpecah dan melahirkan dua jenis ortografi: Arami dan Musnad, yang pada akhirnya menghasilkan jenis ortografi Nabti bercorak Kufi. Ortografi Nabti yang berpusat kota Petra-Yordania, kemudian berpindah dan menyebar lagi sampai hilir tanah Hijaz melalui Daumah al-Jandal. Bukti-bukti keberadaan ortografi Arab tersebut dapat diketahui dari temuan Inskripsi yang diyakini bahwa antara ortografi Nabti kufi memiliki beberapa kesamaan dengan ortografi Arab, dilihat dari penciri tanda vokal dan konsonannya. Inskripsi tersebut adalah 1) Inskripsi Ummu Jima>l (250 SM) 2) Inskripsi Nammarah/Imru al-Qais (300-328 M), 3) Inskripsi Zabad (512 M) 4) Inskripsi Harran/Hurron (568 M) 5) Inskripsi Umm Jimal II (600 M).

Based on data analysis, it can be concluded that the application of reading reading techniques in improving the reading ability of the santri book is a teaching method that presents subject matter that begins with prioritizing aspects of reading, i.e. the teacher first reads the reading topics, then is followed by the santri. However, sometimes the teacher directly appoints one of the students to read an individual lesson first, and of course, the other students pay attention and follow it. The method of reading besides emphasizing reading ability also considers the importance of correct pronunciation. So this ability is seen to help the students to improve their ability to read the book.

A Review of Selected Aspects of Big Data Usage in Banks’ Risk Management
Authors: Dvorski Lacković Ivana , Kovšca Vladimir , Lacković Vincek Zrinka
Published: December 2020

Contemporary banks operate in a changing environment influenced by regulatory requirements, emerging new risk types and high competition on the market. At the same time banks have on their disposal large datasets from internal and external sources – the question arising is whether banks are using adequate analytics to gain value from big data. Big data has been used in banking for some time, mostly in the marketing field, but the usage of big data in banks’ risk management has not been a subject of extensive scientific research. The goals of this paper are twofold. Firstly, the authors are presenting an overview of existing research on the topic of big data usage in banks’ risk management by discussing selected aspects of this topic. Secondly, the authors are formulating a proposal on how to strategically use big data in risk management in banks by merging literature based extracted usage of big data with risk management phases. Expected contributions of this paper are systematization of knowledge from available literature and increasing scientific and professional awareness on the topic and potential of big data in banks’ risk management.
Toxoplasmosis, cryptosporidiosis, and isosporiasis in HIV-negative immunocompromised patients: A single-centre study, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Authors: Thabet Chloe , Sherazi Adeel , Cowan Juthaporn
Published: December 2020

Background: Historically, patients with HIV have been at the highest risk of infection with opportunistic protozoans such as Toxoplasma, Cryptosporidium, and Isospora. Among patients with HIV who are compliant with antiretroviral therapy, the likelihood of acquiring an opportunistic infection is low. The risk of infection is harder to mitigate in the growing number of HIV-negative immunodeficient patients, such as people with hematological malignancies or those who are post-transplantation. Methods: We conducted a retrospective case series of patients with documented Toxoplasma infections between 2008 and 2017 and with Cryptosporidium and Isospora infections between 2014 and 2017 at the Ottawa Hospital. Results: During the study period, there were 10 confirmed cases of toxoplasmosis, 20 cases of cryptosporidiosis, and 2 cases of isosporiasis. Cryptosporidiosis (95%) and toxoplasmosis (60%) occurred more frequently among HIV-negative patients, whereas isosporiasis cases were limited to HIV-positive patients. Among patients with cryptosporidiosis, the most common underlying cause of immunosuppression in HIV-negative individuals was solid organ transplantation (15.79%), followed by diabetes (10.53%), end-stage renal disease (5.26%), and hematologic malignancy (5.26%). Seventy percent of patients had no known cause of immunosuppression. The most common underlying condition associated with toxoplasmosis was hematological malignancy (50%), followed by solid organ transplantation (33.33%), and solid tumours (16.66%). Conclusions: This study’s results suggest that Cryptosporidium infections are more common among immunocompetent patients in Ottawa, whereas Toxoplasma infections are more common among HIV-negative patients with acquired immunodeficiencies. As the demographics of immunocompromised individuals continue to evolve, screening for protozoal infections in high-risk populations may become clinically important.
The Réception for Saint-Alexis (Quebec 1797)
Authors: Nichols Glen
Published: December 2020

[469] On the eve of August 24, 1797 preparations were being made in the monastery for an extraordinary celebration. This time it was not going to be a simple "taking of the veil" as we saw in the last chapter; 1 nor was it to be a solemn profession of faith by some privileged novice admitted to consummate her sacrifice joyfully. On August 24 one could see at the foot of the altar a virgin with many years of service, but rich also in the fruits of virtue gathered along her way since she took her first steps on the path of a religious life.
The Construction and Deconstruction of Border Zones in Fronteras Americanas by Guillermo Verdecchia and Amigo's Blue Guitar by Joan MacLeod
Authors: Nothof Anne F.
Published: December 2020

The Canadian response to the political, cultural, and social crossing of American borders in Amigo’s Blue Guitar by Joan MacLeod and Fronteras Americanas by Guillermo Verdecchia is shown as self-defensive, even though most Canadians have in their own histories negotiated a border. Amigo’s Blue Guitar shows how members of a Canadian family fictionalize the experience of a political refugee from El Salvador whom they have sponsored, in order to authenticate or express positive self-images. Fronteras Americanas interrogates the "Latin" experience in North America, exploding stereotypes constructed by the media, and questioning the way self-identity may be constructed in response to the dominant "Saxon" culture. However, both plays also imagine the possibility of "dancing" in a space which precludes borders, of playing "a tune beyond us, yet ourselves."
Translations of Four Réceptions In the Tradition of Lescarbot and Company
Authors: Nichols Glen
Published: December 2020

The genre réceptions in Canada is known almost exclusively from discussions and translations of Marc Lescarbot's Le théâtre de Neptune en Nouvelle France (1606 ). 1 Yet there are at least five other available examples of this type of play performed in Quebec between 1658 and 1810. Created and performed to celebrate unique occasions, each play reflects very particular social and artistic conditions. At the same time, all the plays maintain identifiable traditional features in both structure and substance. This combination of one-time-only performances and strong traditionalism make the réceptions important contributors to early Canadian theatre. This article examines all six known texts to see how each adds to an understanding of the coherent group, with emphasis on the lesser known eighteenth and nineteenth-century examples. In addition, the four later texts also appear here for the first time in English.
