Published: December 2020

Until now, there is no documentation concerning the composition, biological
and pharmaceutical activities of Algerian grape (Vitis vinifera L.) seeds.
The present study aims to evaluate the phytochemical analysis, antioxidant
and antimicrobial activities of grape seed extracts (GSEs) from the Algerian
Red globe and Valenci varieties. The total polyphenols content (TPC) in the
GSEs was evaluated by spectrophotometry, it was 398.01 ? 18.12 mg GAE/g GSEs
and 335.11 ? 11.44 mg GAE/g GSEs for the Red globe and Valenci varieties
respectively. The antioxidant activity of GSEs was also evaluated by
spectrophotometry on stable free radicals of DPPH. The IC50 for the Red
globe variety was 4 ? 0.2 ?g/ml, while for the Valenci variety it was 4.6 ?
0.36 ?g/ml. The antimicrobial activity was determined using the disk
diffusion method. Both extracts showed antimicrobial activity against the
eight studied strains: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pasteurella
sp., Salmonella sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis,
Clostridium sp., and Candida albicans. The extracts produced a clear
inhibition zone for all the tested strains. Inhibition diameters greater
than 19 mm were registered. The obtained results in this study indicate the
differences between the Red globe and Valenci varieties, in terms of
polyphenol content, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in Algerian
GSEs.
Climate Risk and the Price of Audit Services: The Case of Drought
Authors: Truong Cameron , Garg Mukesh , Adrian Christofer
Published: December 2020

This study examines the impact of drought on the pricing of audit services for U.S. firms over the period 2001–2015. We employ the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) to determine drought intensity conditions at the state level on a yearly basis and regress audit fees on drought intensity after controlling for other known factors of audit fees. We document that auditors charge significantly higher audit fees for client firms headquartered in areas affected by drought. The effect of drought on audit fees is more pronounced among firms with lower accruals quality and among firms with high business operation concentration in their headquarter states. Collectively, our findings suggest that climate risk in the form of drought not only affects firm risk but also audit risk, thereby highlighting that externalities from climatic conditions are relevant to firms and auditors.

Authors: Abdul-Ghani Muhammad , Puckett Curtiss , Adams John , Khattab Ahmad , Baskoy Gozde , Cersosimo Eugenio , Triplitt Curtis , DeFronzo Ralph A
Published: December 2020

Objective: To compare the long term efficacy
of initiating therapy with metformin/pioglitazone/exenatide in new onset T2DM
patients versus sequential addition of metformin followed by glipizide and
insulin.

Research Design and Methods: 318 drug naïve,
new onset T2DM were randomized to receive for 3 years: (1) combination therapy
with metformin/pioglitazone/ exenatide (Triple Therapy) or (2) sequential addition of metformin followed by glipizide
and insulin (Conventional Therapy) to maintain HbA1c <6.5% (48 mmol/mol). Insulin
sensitivity and beta cell function were measured at baseline and at 3 years.
The primary outcome was the difference in HbA1c between the groups at 3
years.

Results: Baseline HbA1c was 9.0±0.2% and
8.9±0.2% in the Triple Therapy and Conventional Therapy groups. The decrease in
HbA1c produced by Triple Therapy was greater at 6 months than Conventional
Therapy (0.30%, 95% CI=0.21-0.39) (p=0.001), and the HbA1c reduction was
maintained at 3 years in subjects receiving Triple Therapy compared to
Conventional Therapy (6.4±0.1% and 6.9±0.1%, respectively) despite
intensification of antihyperglycemic therapy in the latter. Thus, the
difference in HbA1c between the two treatment groups at 3 years was 0.50% (95%
CI=0.39-0.61, P<0.0001).

Triple Therapy produced 3-fold increase
in insulin sensitivity and 30-fold increase in beta cell function. In Conventional Therapy insulin sensitivity did not change and beta
cell function increased by only 34% (both p<0.0001 versus Triple Therapy).

Conclusion:  Triple Therapy with agents that improve insulin
sensitivity and beta cell function in new onset T2DM patients produce greater,
more durable HbA1c reduction, than agents that lower glucose without correcting
the underlying metabolic defects.

Published: December 2020

Electronic driver circuits are used for the driving of ultrasonic transducer systems. Due to the high frequency switching, thermal management is the main problem that has a significant effect on the reliability of the driver. Different applications are being studied to solve such overheating problems. In this study, the designed thermoelectric self-cooling system dissipates the excess heat generated in the push-pull drive circuit and improves system performance. Thermoelectric self-cooling (TSC) is a new thermoelectric application which provide the cooling of any heat-generating device without electricity consumption. This paper presents the experimental analysis of a TSC system. An experimental setup is designed on a 275W push-pull ultrasonic driver circuit. In this study, it has been shown how the performance of the thermoelectric system changes with the use of cold extender of different thicknesses. 5 and 10 mm thickness cold extenders have had a positive effect on the cooling performance of both the hot and cold surfaces of the self-cooling system. However, when the thickness of the cold extender is increased beyond the threshold, the heat capacity of the cold extender has prevented the temperature between the cold and hot surfaces to reach critical temperature differences which enables the fan to operate.

Published: December 2020

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the features of the regional distribution of households demand for financial services and identification of factors and characteristics of such distribution. The authors undertook to fulfill this aim by dividing all regions in Ukraine into regions with household-donors and household-recipients. First of them are characterized by the predominance of household demand for financial services, which provide an increase in their financial costs. In Ukraine, 2/3 of the regions belong to the group of donor households. The rest belong to the group of regions with recipient households. In these regions, the demand for financial services, which causes an increase in financial resources of households, prevails. The analysis is based on data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and encompasses the period of 2017-2018. The k-means method was used to cluster the regions. The cluster, which brings together regions with a low overall description of households demand for financial services, is the largest. This place includes 14 (58.33%) of regions. The smallest is the cluster, which brings together regions with high household demand for financial services. It includes only 1 (4.17%) region of Ukraine. Based on this, the authors concluded that household demand for financial services was generally low. The authors tested the hypothesis about the type of distribution. It is proved that the demand of households for financial services in the regional context is distributed according to Poisson's law. According it high and very high demand per household is typical for only 8% of regions. The annual volume of financial services in the amount of UAH 245.88 is considered sufficient for most households in Ukraine, regardless of the region. The authors calculated the correlation coefficients between the volume of financial services used by households and the level of their income. Correlation coefficients were also calculated between the volume of household demand for financial services in a particular region and the value of gross regional product. Based on these calculations, the authors concluded that the volume of household demand for financial services does not depend on the level of household income or the level of gross regional product. This indicates the presence of certain non-economic factors that determine the distribution of regions according to the level of household demand for financial services. This indicates the presence of certain non-economic factors that determine the distribution of regions according to the level of household demand for financial services.

Introduction. Expanding the scope of application of rare-earth metal compounds that are unique in their properties increases the interest of many researchers in studying the impact of rare-earth metals and their compounds on human health and the environment. One of the most relevant and modern methods for assessing the safety of the studied media for a biological test object is bioassay. Problem Statement. The objective necessity of determining the combined effect of rare earth metals and their compounds on human health and the environment involves the use of biological systems. Modern methods of bioassay are extremely sensitive, which is sufficient to determine sub-threshold concentrations of hazardous substances in accordance with international standards. Thus, the use of these methods can make it possible to determine the index and the degree of toxicity of rare earth metal compounds with high accuracy in order to prepare a package of necessary documentation on industrial safety of products. Theoretical Part. Based on the studied toxicological effects of rare earth metals, the authors proposed to conduct a toxicity assessment based on the concept of biotechnical systems. The object of research was oxides and carbonates of rare earth metals. The results of the study to determine the index and the degree of toxicity of rare earth metal compounds, as well as to assess the lethal concentration of LC50 (24 h) by biotesting using test organisms Paramecium Caudatum were used to write a safety data sheet for cerium oxide and carbonate. Conclusion. The studies have shown that a certain modification of the technical solutions embedded in the devices of the Biotester series makes it possible to correctly solve the problem of assessing the toxicity of rare earth metals and their compounds. Based on the research results, the safety data sheets were developed.

Ceaușescu face à la création littéraire et artistique, ou comment modérer la censure pour ne pas casser l’élan nationaliste
Authors: Sandu Traian
Published: December 2020

"The authoritarian and charismatic
leaders, driven by totalitarian ideologies had the
ambition to ensure the ideological mobilization
of the population thanks to the intellectuals who
were to engage in the general effort towards
creating a new society and a new man. Thus,
Ceaușescu happily combined communism and
nationalism after he came to power in 1965.
The official suppression of censorship in 1977
shifted the real focus onto the moments of
rupture when some intellectuals, writers and
artists broke away from the mobilizing nationalcommunist
project and posed the more abstract
question of their freedom, steering Ceaușescu
towards a repressive type of censorship, which
was not initially his first choice."
“A Boot Stamping on a Human Face – For Ever”: George Orwell, Language, Literature, and Politics
Authors: Ferrari Roberta
Published: December 2020

"Britain experienced the harshness of
20th-century dictatorship and censorship only
obliquely, as a reflection of what was happening
in several “elsewheres”. Yet, events such as
the Spanish Civil War deeply affected a whole
generation of young British writers who, after
the period of elitist Modernism, were trying to
reassert the political import of literature through
a redefinition of the role of the artist as politically
and socially engagé. George Orwell figures as one
of the most disenchanted and lucid witnesses
of this particular historical moment. In both his
essays and journalistic articles, as well as in his
narrative work, he continuously ponders over the
relationship between political power and society
on the one hand, and language and literature on
the other, providing a most interesting analysis of
the mechanisms that preside over this interaction."

Objek jaminan fidusia merepresentasikan pentingnya prinsip kepercayaan kreditor kepada debitor. Pada dasarnya, Undang-Undang Fidusia memberikan kreditor hak menjual objek jaminan fidusia apabila debitor cidera janji. Namun, Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 18/PUU-XVII/2019 mengurangi hak tersebut dengan pemberian syarat adanya kesepakatan cidera janji antara kreditor dan debitor serta kerelaan debitor untuk menyerahkan objek jaminan. Tulisan ini mengkaji pertimbangan dalam Putusan tersebut ditinjau dari hak kebendaan serta implikasinya terhadap pelaksanaan eksekusi fidusia. Metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual digunakan dalam tulisan ini. Pada kesimpulannya, Putusan tersebut bertentangan dengan prinsip hak kebendaan terutama asas droit de suite, droit de preference, dan parate executie. Implikasinya berpotensi berpengaruh terhadap waktu, biaya, dan penambahan beban baru dalam pelaksanaan eksekusi objek jaminan. Sebagai rekomendasi jangka panjang pembentuk undang-undang perlu melakukan perubahan UU Fidusia dengan penegasan kekuatan eksekutorial dalam jaminan fidusia, serta untuk jangka pendek perlu adanya perubahan klausul akta perjanjian dan mengoptimalkan mekanisme gugatan sederhana.

Published: December 2020

Dentre os capítulos já contados da história do Contestado, é central e recorrente o papel da Southern Brazil Lumber and Colonization Company, na determinação dos caminhos e da vida daquela distinta região. Inicialmente como grande empresa colonizadora através da exploração madeireira e a instalação ferroviária figura como a responsável por implementar e possibilitar o desenvolvimento social, tecnológico e financeiro para o local. Entretanto no desenrolar da história desde o momento em que se instala naquele território, até seu vexatório fim foi grande causadora de injustiças, que refletiram nos habitantes, no mercado estadual e com significativa parcela na economia nacional, deixando resquícios incorrigíveis no tocante a violação de direitos e na estagnação econômica. O presente artigo pretende contribuir para o já vasto campo das pesquisas sobre o Contestado, através das sugestões teórico-metodológicas inseridas pelas perspectivas da História Social Inglesa, sob a luz das noções sugeridas por Thompson valorizando assim os efeitos dos acontecimentos históricos nas grandes massas verdadeiramente impotentes diante do poder do capital e das decisões impostas pelo estado. Os fatos que justificam o presente trabalho são baseados nas decisões políticas, que amiúde beneficiaram interesses particulares, concessões e favorecimentos que desde a instalação da Lumber Company em 1910 impactaram de forma negativa no desenvolvimento regional, deixando um legado evidenciado pela devastação, a violação de direitos, a paralização de importantes setores econômicos, e o abandono de perspectivas coletivas para a manutenção do poder e o enriquecimento pessoal.

Upcycle: As A New Preference in the Art of Climate Change
Authors: Harjani Centaury
Published: December 2020

The most common inspiration used in the art of climate change is global warming. Indeed, the greenhouse effect that leads to a global temperature rise is the cause of global warming. This effect occurs due to increasing levels of carbon released into the air. Upon this, an artist needs to reduce carbon emissions for the sake of a better environment. One of the effective ways is by using the principles of environmentally friendly (low-carbon emissions) artwork. The way that can be chosen is upcycling in the making of an artwork. Upcycled is the upgraded version of Recycling. Upcycle will help reduce carbon emissions by utilizing old goods as materials to create an artwork. Upcycle does not use new materials, and it uses the method of material processing with a short phase compared to recycling. The contemporary art of climate change raises many issues on global warming as its inspiration. Therefore, it should pay attention to the material used in the making of environmentally friendly artwork. This paper will discuss the upcycle as a preference to produce that artwork. Practice-based research methods and literature studies are used in this study. This research will also discuss creative strategies in upcycling deadstock to become part of climate change contemporary artwork. The preliminary result from this study is that the upcycle will be optimal when combined with the principle of zero-waste. Upcycle: Preferensi Baru dalam Seni Perubahan Iklim ABSTRAK Inspirasi yang paling banyak digunakan pada seni perubahan iklim adalah pemanasan global. Sesungguhnya, efek rumah kaca adalah penyebab utama adanya peningkatan suhu secara global sehingga terjadi pemanasan global. Efek ini terjadi disebabkan oleh peningkatan jumlah karbon yang dilepaskan ke udara. Karena itu, seniman perlu berpartisipasi mengurangi jumlah gas buang karbon demi lingkungan yang lebih baik. Satu cara efektif yang dapat dilakukan adalah menggunakan prinsip karya seni ramah lingkungan yang tingkat gas buang karbonnya rendah. Cara yang dapat dipilih adalah melakukan upcycle dalam pembuatan karya seni. Upcylce ini adalah peningkatan versi dari Recycle. Upcycle akan membantu mengurangi gas buang karbon dengan memanfaatkan barang-barang lama sebagai bahan baku pada proses pembuatan karya seni. Upcycle tidak menggunakan material baru dan memiliki proses pengolahan material yang lebih pendek jika dibandingkan dengan metode recycle. Seni kontemporer terkait perubahan iklim mengangkat banyak isu mengenai pemanasan global. Karena itu, seni ini perlu memperhatikan bahan baku yang digunakan untuk memperoleh karya seni yang ramah lingkungan. Makalah ini akan membahas upcycle sebagai preferensi untuk menghasilkan karya seni tersebut. Metode penelitian berbasis praktik dan studi literatur digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Penelitian ini juga akan membahas strategi kreatif dalam melakukan upcycling bahan baku deadstock karya seni kontemporer perubahan iklim. Kesimpulan awal dari penelitian ini, penggunaan upcycle akan lebih optimal jika dipadukan dengan prinsip zero-waste.
Art and Artist Movement in Banten Edi Bonetski X PengPeng
Authors: Anindita Gisela
Published: December 2020

Banten is one of the provinces in Indonesia. It is located in the westernmost of Java. Art Movement in Banten is not as famous as Jakarta, Yogyakarta, nor Bali. Being an Artist is not the most famous, not even an option for Banten's job or career. Being an artist in Banten is because the people are not familiar with the art, especially contemporary art. So being an artist in Banten means also being an educator for social change. Edi Bonetski and PengPeng, both are Banten born and raised artist, are trying to make an art movement in Banten. They are doing what I called "terror" in the two cities of Banten. Serang and Tangerang, through their artistic collaboration. The aim is to habituate people in Banten for seeing art. The more they make, the more people will get used to appreciate and live with art. They also made their artistic collaboration in the crowd area, so people can watch how art makes. This "terror" might be something common in Jakarta or Yogyakarta, but not in Banten. They change people's minds about art through their process demo and collaborate with anybody in the process. This practice is to engage people to learn art by doing an art activity. Pergerakan Seni dan Seniman di Banten Studi Kasus: Edi Bonetski X PengPeng ABSTRAK Banten adalah salah satu provinsi di Indonesia ysng terletak di paling barat Pulau Jawa. Gerakan Seni Rupa di Banten memang tidak terlalu terkenal dibanding Jakarta, Yogyakarta, atau Bali. Menjadi seniman bukanlah yang populerl, bahkan tidak menjadi pilihan pekerjaan atau karir di Banten. Perjuangan menjadi seniman di Banten disebabkan oleh masyarakat yang belum mengenal seni khususnya seni kontemporer. Menjadi seniman di Banten berarti juga sekaligus menjadi pendidik untuk perubahan sosial. Edi Bonetski dan PengPeng, merupakan dua seniman yang lahir dan besar di Banten, yang mencoba membuat gerakan seni di Banten. Mereka melakukan apa yang saya sebut dengan "teror" di dua kota Banten. Yakni Serang dan Tangerang, melalui kolaborasi seni mereka. Tujuannya adalah untuk membiasakan masyarakat Banten untuk melihat kesenian. Semakin banyak mereka membuat, semakin banyak orang yang terbiasa untuk mengapresiasi dan hidup dengan seni. Mereka juga berkolaborasi di area keramaian, sehingga masyarakat bisa menyaksikan bagaimana proses pembuatannya. "Teror" ini mungkin sudah biasa di Jakarta atau Yogyakarta, tapi tidak di Banten. Bagaimana mereka mengubah pikiran orang tentang seni melalui demo proses mereka, dan kolaborasi dengan siapa pun dalam prosesnya. Latihan ini mengajak masyarakat untuk belajar seni dengan melakukan aktivitas seni.

A fenda lábio-palatina é a malformação anatómica congénita da região da cabeça mais prevalente. Durante os primeiros meses de vida do bebé, a reconstrução alveolar e nasal constitui o principal desafio no tratamento desta patologia. O modelador nasoalveolar é um aparelho de ortopedia pré-cirúrgica que permite reduzir a dimensão da fenda e realizar o modelamento da cartilagem nasal. Relata-se dois casos de recém-nascidos portadores de fenda lábio-palatina que foram submetidos a tratamento ortopédico pré- -cirúrgico com o modelador nasoalveolar. Verificou-se, em ambos os casos, a modelação ortopédica com redução substancial do espaço da fenda do palato primário e maior projeção da cartilagem nasal. As alterações obtidas pelo modelador nasoalveolar mantiveram- se estáveis após os procedimentos cirúrgicos.

Rawa lebak merupakan ekologi yang terendam air pada periode waktu musim hujan dan kekeringan pada periode musim kemarau. Pada saat terendam air, tinggi muka air tidak dapat dikendalikan secara gravitasi, sehingga tinggi muka air dilahan sawah rawa lebak tidak dapat memenuhi sesuai kebutuhan tanaman. Sebaliknya pada waktu musim kemarau lahan sawah akan kering, tanaman akan mengalami kekurangan air. Salah satu teknologi yang dikembangkan masyarakat untuk mengendalikan air dilahan rawa lebak dengan polder mini yang luasnya 250 – 1000 ha. Rancangan pengendalian sistem polder ini dilaku dengan membangun saluran penampung air, pompa pembuang (drainase) dan pemasuk (irigasi) air. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan dengan sistem polder telah mampu meningkatkan intensitas tanam dari satu kali pertahun (IP 100) menjadi tiga kali tanam pertahun (IP300), dengan pola tanam padi-padi-palawija.
