Determination of Hansen solubility parameters for sugarcane oil. Use of ethanol in sugarcane wax refining
Authors: Hernández E. , Díaz M. , Pérez K.
Published: June 2021

Currently, the refining of sugarcane wax is carried out with 95% v/v ethanol as solvent. This process has a high rate of ethanol consumption thus, the main objective of this work was to corroborate the feasibility of 95% v/v ethanol as a solvent in the refining of sugarcane wax. The suitability of its performance over other organic solvents was evaluated through the relative energy difference (RED) determined from Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs) of sugarcane oil, which were calculated using HSPiP software. HSPs turned out to be δD = 16.24 MPa½, δP = 3.21 MPa½ and δH = 10.34 MPa½, similar to those reported for pine resin and castor oil. The best solvent was 1-decanol. 95% v/v ethanol turned out to be a bad solvent. Absolute ethanol had a RED value of 0.993, which made it a better candidate since it could reduce consumption rates, and constituted an eco-friendly solvent produced in Cuba for the refining process.
Notas masoréticas de antropónimos
Authors: Marcus David
Published: June 2021

De los aproximadamente quinientos nombres propios que aparecen en la Biblia, sólo en noventa casos hay una anotación masorética que indica que lo son. La razón por la que la Masora selecciona estos noventa nombres es porque todos son homónimos, es decir, tienen la misma forma, las mismas consonantes y vocales que otras palabras y, por lo tanto, pueden ser confundidos con ellas. Este artículo examina los usos de las anotaciones masoréticas sobre los nombres propios, el tipo de nombres que tienen anotaciones de este tipo, y estudia los nombres que se seleccionan debido a su ortografía o a sus acentos específicos. Uno de los resultados más importantes del análisis de las anotaciones masoréticas sobre nombres propios es el descubrimiento de que los masoretas ya habían identificado como tal un nombre que ha pasado desapercibido a los investigadores modernos.
Cães Renegados: judeus conversos portugueses do século XIII
Authors: Bressiani Queirós de Faria Rui
Published: June 2021

Generalmente se acepta que la conversión de judíos al Cristianismo representa un fenómeno curioso, cuyo entendimiento permite esclarecer las dinámicas culturales y sociológicas entre las diferentes comunidades religiosas medievales. Sin embargo, ha sido un tema casi ignorado en la historiografía portuguesa moderna. Esto no solo dificulta una percepción más amplia de la propia comunidad judía portuguesa, sino que también impide nuevos y renovados ejercicios en el contexto de las relaciones entre cristianos y judíos durante la Edad Media. Este artículo intenta apreciar el fenómeno de la conversión al cristianismo durante el siglo xiii. Hablamos de la construcción de los primeros textos legales en relación a los conversos, las características de estas conversiones, las reacciones populares y de algunos ejemplos ilustrativos, a pesar de su aparente escasez.
La lengua, «pluma de scriviente ábil»: el Salterio traducido por Juan de Valdés del hebreo
Authors: Pons Rodríguez Lola
Published: June 2021

Obra tardía dentro de su producción, la traducción que Juan de Valdés hizo desde el hebreo de los Salmos incluye datos de notable relevancia para aumentar nuestro conocimiento sobre el uso que prescribía y que escribía este autor. En este trabajo nos ocuparemos de ello y estudiaremos la información que sobre el hecho de traducir da Valdés en las páginas introductorias de la obra, dedicada a Julia Gonzaga. Igualmente, ubicaremos el lugar que ocupa esta traducción dentro de la propia empresa traductológica valdesiana, que ya había traducido desde el griego algunas partes del Nuevo Testamento y algunas epístolas de san Pablo. Por último, se contrastará particularmente el uso lingüístico prescrito y descrito por Valdés en el Diálogo de la lengua y el utilizado por el mismo autor al traducir los Salmos.
Ethical Design of Social Technology
Authors: Montalvo Fernando L. , Miuccio Michael , Waldfogle Grace E.
Published: June 2021

Social technology has become ubiquitous in everyday life. Developers of social technologies seek design elements and new technologies, such as machine learning algorithms, aimed at increasing user engagement. Increased user engagement with products or services is sought after by both companies, which benefit from increased sales and customers who desire technology which they are motivated to use. However, increased user engagement also results in increased demand on user attention. High demand on user attention results in problems for social technology users, including decreased task performance, decrements in working memory, increased anxiety, and more. Developers of social technology should take these negative effects on users into account when implementing new features into their products or services. This chapter proposes a framework for the ethical design of social technology, with a specific emphasis on the balance between user engagement and attentional demands on the user.
Mariners or Machines
Authors: Culley Kimberly E.
Published: June 2021

Building in layers of safety and sharpening the warfighting edge does not necessarily mean using technology more, but rather using it more effectively. Deftly applied automation can buy back time and cognitive resources for operators, decreasing the chances of human error, but technology also has the potential to become less of a tool and more of a crutch if operational fundamentals and basic seafaring skills are forsaken to automation. Operators must be able to rely on their own “sea sense,” developed through experience and mentoring, and use technology to accomplish specific objectives rather than defer to automation as the default decision-maker. Maintaining the competitive warfighting edge requires cultivating skilled mariners who know how to fight a well-equipped ship; adding complexity to the system without accounting for the human element creates added risk and cutting-edge failure modes. Technology alone cannot make the ship safe, but when the operator lacks fundamental knowledge and experience, it can make the ship unsafe.

Published: June 2021

In Islamic faith and ideology, tremendous emphasis is paid to leadership as an essential instrument for realizing an ideal society which is built on fairness and compassion. Muslims practice the Islamic faith, which Islamic law regulates the faithful's way of life, from moral issues to etiquette and business conduct. Established laws governing the Muslim's behaviour and activities are included in Sharia decisions, and many Islamic teachings deal with business activities. The business etiquettes and rules of succession are contained in Sharia laws. Sharia law offers guidelines on integrity, fairness, risk, fraud, bribery, and kindness in business activities. The family business culture is influenced by the business element of the enterprises, which offers principles, mutual goals, commitment towards a prosperous future, and complimentary relationships between enterprises. The family enterprises are considered in a socio-cultural and religious environment in which the business is operated to gain a greater awareness of leaders' succession and successor development.
Maintaining a Firm Social Justice Lens During a Public Health Crisis
Authors: Fovet Frederic
Published: June 2021

School preparedness for national emergencies and natural disasters has long been part of the literature on global education. The recent COVID-19 crisis, however, has demonstrated the degree to which this literature had to date been ignored by school administrators in the Global North, and dismissed as a topic mostly relevant to Global South countries facing armed conflict, political instability, and lacking resources to address natural disasters. The global pandemic has been sustained, severe, and has led to the full or partial closure of schools in many Global North jurisdictions. While emergency measures have sought to maintain basic educational services, little focus has been given to inclusion and to the needs of diverse learners. In the absence of structured responses, parental support has become a key solution for many districts, and concepts such as the learning pod have popped up in various countries. These strategies have exacerbated inequities rather than offered sustainable and socially just responses. This chapter draws lessons from these initiatives.
How Aware Are We as Rehab Physicians?
Authors: Mishra Kriti
Published: June 2021

The competency of medical professionals is assessed not only based on knowledge they have, but also through their communication and interpersonal approach. This competency is largely influenced by numerous factors; most significant of which is the 'self' that a physician is. 'Self' governs how physicians think and respond to others in a given context and hence, has a large impact on the healthcare that they provide. In multicultural healthcare organizations, understanding 'self' is even more important for physicians to maintain their competency so that they can provide the most effective care to all patients. This chapter takes a look at 'self' of physicians and its impact on physicians' competency by exploring different aspects of 'self', applying concepts from social psychology. The chapter further delves into influence of multiculturism on 'self' and the role of awareness of 'self' in enhancing physicians' performance in culturally diverse clinical settings.
Observing Stigmatization Attitudes Towards Ex-Combatants in Colombia's Postconflict
Authors: Barbosa Sergio , Franco Acosta Lina Maria , Diaz Javier Cárdenas , Pino Uribe Juan Federico
Published: June 2021

The authors propose a working definition of stigmatization towards ex-combatants from organized armed groups outside the law in Colombia's internal conflict and empirically validate a questionnaire to assess stigmatization. First, they offer a brief review of different concepts of stigmatization, mainly stemming from psychology and sociology. Second, based on the previous review, they will offer a specific definition of stigmatization directed towards ex-combatants in the Colombian internal conflict. This definition encompasses social distance, label attribution, and emotional reactions towards the stigmatized group. Further, they present the validated scale to measure these attitudes in a non-representative sample of 289 people in 34 Colombian counties. Finally, they describe the psychometric properties of this scale as a way to measure stigmatization against ex-combatants in the Colombian internal conflict to be used in interventions aimed at attenuating this stigmatization and favoring their return to civilian society.

Published: June 2021

The SWB covers individuals' emotional and cognitive assessments and the conceptualization of happiness, satisfaction with one's life, and quality of life. Thus, an exploratory and descriptive study based on a bibliography survey and textual analysis was developed, and it was possible to understand that (1) tourists were the focus of the studies analyzed, so the understanding of their behaviors is essential; (2) emotion is still a gap that can be fill in research on tourism and well-being from the standpoint of the neurosciences; (3) the experience construct is significant but subjective so that the neurosciences can contribute to the understanding of the tourist experience related to SWB; (4) technological advances in neuroimaging can contribute, but this depends on adequate financial and human resources.

Authors: Rosário Albérico Travassos , Raimundo Ricardo Gomes
Published: June 2021

Sports sponsorship is an area of marketing responsible for raising financial resources. This is a similar understanding within the realm of Esports as the fastest growing sport in decades. Recognizing the clear parallel between sports and Esports within the marketing realm, as ways through which to raise financial resources through sponsorship opportunities, there are also significant differences that apply, partially due to the digital comfortability of gamers as a novel and as yet unexperienced curiosity, as well as the native community competitive nature of the Esports realm that highlights parallels with many other sports. As such, sponsorship of Esports events has become a marketing communication tool as it is able to significantly impact the target audience, similar in nature to other sports while still introducing new marketing communications tools. The interaction between sponsor and sponsored has become a mutual benefit; it augments the brand awareness in the market while facilitating the communication with the target audience, and it supports sports events.

Authors: Haque Iffat Tasnim , Kohda Youji
Published: June 2021

Street food safety (SFS) has become an emerging public health concern in most developing countries like Bangladesh. Interventions are trying to improve the sector; however, a lack of coordination and value co-creation between macro and micro-level stakeholders strongly impedes the achievement of long-term benefits. Therefore, community participation is needed to achieve a multi-stakeholder partnership (MSP) and community-based knowledge management (KM) for a successful intervention. The purpose of this study is to identify secondary school students as KM tools to facilitate knowledge management activities. The action research was conducted using community people in two major cities in Bangladesh. Based on the findings, students can act as KM tools who can facilitate coordination and value co-creation process. A conceptual framework has been proposed to understand the MSP and KM concepts where the integrated strategy of those two concepts not only develops a sustainable solution for the SFS system but also can be applied to many other public health issues in developing countries.
Composing Lives Alongside
Authors: Hutchinson Derek A. , Murphy M. Shaun
Published: June 2021

Drawing on a broader narrative inquiry into the curriculum making of participants who compose identities dissonant with dominant stories of gender and sexuality, this article explores the shaping influence of the social (relationships, communities, and contexts) in one participant's life story around sexuality from a curricular perspective. The term curriculum making represents an ongoing process through which individuals make sense and meaning of experience, position curriculum broadly as a course of life, and shift notions of curriculum and curriculum making beyond the bounds of school. Individuals engage in identity making as they make sense of themselves in relation to their curriculum making, narratively understood as the composition of stories to live by. This inquiry highlights the ways that life stories are composed alongside, connected to, and shaped by other people and draws the attention of educators to the complex lives unfolding in schools.
Doppelganger-Inspired Change Effect Model of Faculty Global Cultural Competency
Authors: Bawa Papia
Published: June 2021

Our student populations' diversity now includes more than just African Americans, Native Americans, Latinos. We are now more representative of a wider range of cultural backgrounds. This shift brings fresh challenges of educator unpreparedness to identify with the unique cultures of international students. The cultural dissonance that international students face compounds this challenge. The cultural unawareness and misconceptions may be generated from both educators and students. The DICE model is inspired by an extensive review of the literature and a qualitative case study methods application. It is a process of fostering global cultural empathy and preparedness of educators by linking such preparedness to evaluating negative attitudinal influences that may block people from changing their thinking, which in turn will negatively impact global empathy preparedness. This is a valid linkage given the influence culture has on attitudes and vice versa and is true in the context of developing global empathy.
Plurilingual STEAM and School Lunches for Learning?
Authors: Pearce Daniel Roy , Oyama Mayo , Moore Danièle , Kitano Yuki , Fujita Emiko
Published: June 2021

In Japan, where there is a bias toward English-only in foreign language education, there are also grassroots efforts to introduce greater plurality in the classroom. However, introducing diverse languages and cultures into the classroom can lead to folklorization, the delivering of essentialized information in pre-packaged formats, which can potentially delegitimize other languages and cultures. This contribution examines a collaborative integrative plurilingual STEAM practice at an elementary school in Western Japan. In the ‘school lunches project,' the children experience various international cuisine, leading up to which they would engage with related languages and cultures through collaboratively produced plurilingual videos and museum-like exhibits of cultural artifacts. The interdisciplinary, hands-on, experiential learning within this project helped the children to develop an investigative stance toward linguistic and cultural artifacts, nurture a deeper awareness of languages and openness to diversity, foster reflexivity, and encourage interdisciplinary engagement.

Published: June 2021

In our everyday life, we come across various media that facilitate communication. Photography is one such medium used for visual communication. Although it is easy for human beings to look at a picture and describe it, it is often a hard task for a computer to generate a caption automatically if a photograph is fed to it. The recent development in deep learning and neural network has made this problem easier to work on especially if the relevant datasets are provided. This paper attempts to comprehensively summarize and present a unique perspective of the prevalent systems developed to address this problem of image captioning.

Published: June 2021

The study considers digital supply management from the perspective of the involvement in international trade. A SWOT analysis of the concept has been carried out; the concept strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats have been highlighted. The hypothesis has been thoroughly considered through the example of the following countries: the Russian Federation (RF), the People's Republic of China, and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG); in particular, the correlation between the volume of external traffic and the investment in SCM software was built. It has been revealed that in some countries an increase in the volume of external traffic due to an increase in investment in SCM software is associated with the complication and globalization of supply chains, which increases the competitiveness of goods and services of these countries. A composite index that takes into account the efficiency of the supply chain using digital technologies has been developed.
A Model for Enterprise Resource Planning Systems in the Higher Education Sector
Authors: Abu Madi Abdallah , Ayoubi Rami M. , Alzbaidi Mohammad
Published: June 2021

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are complex systems that face a high probability of failure, which require careful development by university management. This study aims at exploring the application of ERP implementation life cycle processes in the context of the higher education sector (HEIs). The study employed a multiple case study approach and semi-structured interviews with a number of information system managers, and other professional services managers across three HEIs from Jordan. Results indicate that ERP implementation life cycle consists of three phases and eight stages. Updating six stages identified in previous research, this study suggests two additional major stages, namely “testing” and “go live.” The proposed model in this study can be used by senior management, technical, and academics as clear guidelines while adopting and implementing ERP in the HEIs. Little is known of the application of ERP implementation life cycle processes in the context of HEIs. The study makes a unique contribution in two facets: first, its application to the HEIs with its specific features in comparison to business sector; and second, the study suggests two additional major stages to the traditional phases model for ERP.
Reducing Replica Update Cost in Replicated DRTDBS
Authors: Shrivastava Pratik , Jain Shailly , Gupta Simran
Published: June 2021

Replication techniques have drawn a great deal of appeal in the real-time database system (RTDBS). In this technique, the replication protocol (RPCL) has been studied as one of the primary technologies. Existing RPCL causes improper resource utilization and suffers from large communication costs. Hence, the objective is to propose a solution that effectively utilizes the system resource and decreases the large communication cost. The proposed data mining algorithm identifies the frequently accessed data items, their related data access sequence, and replicate those data items on the demanded replica sites. Additionally, mutual consistency among newly created data replica and existing data replica gets satisfied with the proposed RPCL. The experimental result shows that the proposed solutions improve the performance of the system by reducing the issue of unnecessary replica updation, unnecessary storage utilization, and unnecessary bandwidth utilization.

Authors: Tantawi Manal , Naser Aya , Shedeed Howida Abd-Alfatah , Tolba Mohammed Fahmy
Published: June 2021

Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are a valuable source of information for detecting epileptic seizures. However, monitoring EEG for long periods of time is very exhausting and time consuming. Thus, detecting epilepsy in EEG signals automatically is highly appreciated. In this study, three classes, namely normal, interictal (out of seizure time), and ictal (during seizure), are considered. Moreover, a comparative study is provided for the efficient features in literature resulting in a suggested combination of only three discriminative features, namely R'enyi entropy, line length, and energy. These features are calculated from each of the EEG sub-bands. Finally, support vector machines (SVM) classifier optimized using BAT algorithm (BAT-SVM) is introduced by this study for discriminating between the three classes. Experiments were conducted using Andrzejak database. The accomplished experiments and comparisons in this study emphasize the superiority of the proposed BAT-SVM along with the suggested feature set in achieving the best results.

Review of classroom practices and pedagogical approaches to promote academic integrity in EFL writing classes
Authors: CAN Esma
Published: June 2021

Writing in English may be quite challenging for EFL students. While some of these problems might be about issues like grammar and vocabulary, some of them might stem from the fact that students may not know how to give references and cite sources correctly when they use primary and secondary sources when writing in English. If students do not learn how to cite sources and give references correctly, this deficiency may lead them to plagiarize in their writing. Considering these factors, it is essential to educate students as to how they should give references and cite sources when they are involved in academic writing. Having said that, it is quite important to find out efficient pedagogical approaches to educate students on academic integrity. Hence, the main aim of this study is to go through the related literature to find out pedagogical approaches that could be utilized in EFL writing classrooms to teach students how to cite sources and give references correctly. With the help of the information gained and different pedagogical approaches that may be uncovered, an effective list of approaches and activities can be established to be put into practice in EFL writing classes.

Leaded Bronze Arrowheads at Daskyleion
Authors: KASAR Özgün , İREN Kaan
Published: June 2021

Arrowheads made of leaded bronze and unearthed in Daskyleion during the excavations between 1954-1959 and 1988-2019 constitute the subject of this study. 406 leaded bronze arrowheads have been found up to now in a grave named Tumulus T6. Leaded bronze arrowheads from Daskyleion date to the 5th and 4th centuries BC. The arrowheads are here classified according to their function. Especially some of the suggestions on archaeological typology proposed by different scholars are practically tested here as a case study using the Daskyleion arrowheads. This typology points to which arrowheads were used as military or hunting weapons in Daskyleion. It can be argued that lead, highly detected, was used in these arrows for “engineering” purposes. In addition, the deformation observed on the arrowheads is explained using historical events that occurred in the settlement and narrated by ancient authors. Consequently, the leaded bronze arrowheads used at Daskyleion are comprised of samples quite common in the Eastern Mediterranean. Fortunately, these examples were mostly found in the datable layers at Daskyleion.
Two New Inscriptions from the Claudian Period at Perge
Authors: TÜNER ÖNEN Nihal
Published: June 2021

This article introduces two Greek inscriptions discovered in the city of Perge. They are related to the Roman Emperor Claudius who ruled from AD 41 to 54. The inscriptions regarding Claudius indicate that the construction activities adopted by the emperor as a general policy were also implemented in the city of
Perge. The first inscription includes the dedications for the Emperor Claudius and the Demos by the gymnasiarch Tiberius Iulius Gemellus and his father Tiberius Iulius Anteros who was reported as a freedman of emperors. This inscription is important in that it is the only inscription to date that provides information on
citizenship and emancipation obtained during the Tiberian period. Moreover, it introduces two new figures to Perge’s prosopography. The privileges obtained during the Tiberian period probably continued into the Claudian period, and the father and son extend their thanks to the emperor as well as the people of Perge by building a structure. It can be asserted that they are related to a structure located on the west street due to its findspot. The other inscription, dated to AD 48, mentions the
emperor’s name in the nominativus casus. It is important in that it refers directly to a structure built by the emperor or to a letter written by him.
A Numismatic Riddle from Arykanda: The God of the Water Spring
Authors: TEK Ahmet Tolga , SANCAKTAR Hacer
Published: June 2021

Among the coin types minted for Arykanda under Emperor Gordianus III, there is a new reverse type depicting Kakasbos wearing military attire and a Thracian helmet. His club is lowered, and he is holding the reins of his horse which stands next to him. On Kakasbos’s right the horse with its right front hoof is striking a rock from which water flows. The iconography is new for Kakasbos and has never been seen before. In fact, he is always shown riding his horse with his club raised to strike. This article explains why this is an image of Kakasbos and not some other deity. It uses other archaeological finds - epigraphic and iconographic - found during the excavations at Arykanda. The authors also identify the water source meant on the coin type and the cult area that existed next to it at Suyun Gözü, the main source of the Arykandos River.
The Discovery of a Menorah in Attalia (Kaleiçi, Antalya) and its Significance for Jewish Communities in Pamphylia
Authors: WILSON Mark
Published: June 2021

The presence of Jews in the region of Pamphylia in Asia Minor is documented in ancient literary and epigraphical texts. However, little archaeological realia have been found documenting their existence. Therefore, the discovery of a marble colonette fragment with a menorah during a rescue excavation in ancient Attalia, the old city Kaleiçi of Antalya, is significant. This article first discusses the textual and epigraphical evidence for Jews in Pamphylia. It next recounts how the Attalia menorah was discovered, then discusses details of the colonette and its menorah. A review of menorah comparanda follows with suggested interpretations for the function of the colonette and its menorah. The article concludes by setting the menorah and its discovery in the larger historical narrative of Jews in southern Asia Minor.
Crossref 4.4.2 XML Elements and Attributes

Published: June 2021

For anyone trying to understand both the basics and the full range of options available when making a DOI metadata submission to Crossref, this linked table of XML element and attribute descriptions gives one small publisher’s best understanding of the most recent version of Crossref’s metadata submission elements and attributes. As of April 2021, the most recent version of Crossref XML files is 4.4.2. This table provides definitions for the six Crossref XML Schema Definition (xsd) files that include the most commonly used description elements of a DOI submission: crossref4.4.2.xsd, common4.4.2.xsd, fundref.xsd, AccessIndicators.xsd, clinicaltrials.xsd, and relations.xsd. The table also includes a brief description of the main features of the externally defined jats:abstract (JATS) element. This table focuses not on XML syntax but on the intent and structure of the elements from a small publisher perspective. This table is one small publisher’s interpretation of Crossref XML and is not authoritative in any way. It will inevitably contain errors, and the author takes no responsibility for its use, which is necessarily and entirely at your own risk. Any submissions created with information from this table should be verified for correctness against the official automated documentation and tools at the Crossref submission site. Note, however, that occasional errors and inconsistencies in those Crossref XML files were uncovered during the creation of this table. Every effort has been made here both to document inconsistencies in the original files and in this interpretation of those files. Important links to Crossref documentation, including comment on the apparent status of Crossref web pages, are provided in the References section after the table on the last document page.
