Islam, Bahasa Arab, dan Pengaruhnya terhadap Bahasa Makassar
Authors: B Yusring Sanusi
Published: October 2019

This study describes the influence of Islam and Arabic on the Makassarese language. The method used in this study is library research. Various literatures were collected to obtain data and facts. These data are collected, sorted and selected and then analyzed to answer two primary issues, namely the influence of Islam and the influence of Arabic on the Makassarese language. The results of the study showed that the Islamic religion influenced the contents of poetry and song in the Makassarese language. The vocabulary from Arabic absorbed into the Makassar language experiences several typologies, including vocabulary absorption and vocabulary enrichment in the Makassarese language. This word absorption from Arabic also includes sound adjustments in Makassarese language. In addition to that, there are words found in Arabic words whose meaning absorbed in Makassarese language not in terms of morpholigical absorption but semantical absorption.

Published: October 2019

En Bolivia la transmisión vectorial ha sido hasta hace poco la principal forma de infección, tanto en áreas rurales como periurbanas, donde en ciudades como Cochabamba, Tarija, Sucre y otras ciudades intermedias, han existido numerosos y populosos barrios sub-urbanos infestados por T. infestans. En el período de 1980 -1985, y con una población aproximada de 5 millones y medio de habitantes, se estimaba que alrededor del 24% de la población total estaba infectada, es decir, alrededor de 1.300.000 personas.

Se estudió 150 personas, con test de inmunocromatografia, 15 pacientes presentaron positivo para detección de la enfermedad. Se integró el diagnóstico en la población en fase asintomática, ya que existe un elevado porcentaje de pacientes portadores de la Enfermedad de Chagas con una prevalencia de 10%, se debería tomar mayor interés en la prevención, diagnóstico y tratamiento.

Hot Jupiters Are Destroyed by Tides While Their Host Stars Are on the Main Sequence
Authors: Hamer Jacob H. , Schlaufman Kevin C.
Published: October 2019

While cooler giant planets are often observed with nonzero eccentricities, the short-period circular orbits of hot Jupiters suggest that they lose orbital energy and angular momentum due to tidal interactions with their host stars. However, orbital decay has never been unambiguously observed. We use data from Gaia Data Release 2 to show that hot Jupiter host stars have a smaller Galactic velocity dispersion than a similar population of stars without hot Jupiters. Since Galactic velocity dispersion is correlated with age, this observation implies that the population of hot Jupiter host stars is on average younger than the field population. The best explanation for this inference is that tidal interactions cause hot Jupiters to inspiral while their host stars are on the main sequence. This observation requires that the typical modified stellar tidal quality factor

for solar-type stars is in the range

Published: October 2019

We present new CCD photometric light curves about two eclipsing binaries of V582 Lyr and V1016 Oph. Our observations were carried out by the SARA 91.4 cm telescope of America in 2016 and the 60 cm telescope of Chile in 2018. V582 Lyr’s spectra type was classified as K5, and its radial velocity was determined using the LAMOST spectral survey. There are absorptions in the observed H
α
line and excess emissions in the subtracted H
α
line, which show weak chromospheric activity. We obtained the updated ephemeris information for V582 Lr and V1016 Oph, and found that their orbital periods are both decreasing. We concluded that the decreased rate is −0.474 (±0.011) × 10−7 days yr−1 for V582 Lyr and 3.460 (±0.014) × 10−7 days yr−1 for V1016 Oph. For V582 Lyr, the period variation was interpreted as a mass transfer from the secondary component to the primary one, and the corresponding rate is dM
2/dt = −1.10 (±0.03) × 10−7
M
⊙ yr−1. For V1016 Oph, we explain it by transferring from the primary component to the secondary one, and the corresponding rate is dM
1/dt = −2.69 (±0.04) × 10−7
M
⊙ yr−1. The photometric solution of V1016 Oph was obtained by analyzing the CCD photometry with the Wilson–Devinney program. We also obtained the orbital parameters of V1016 Oph by simultaneously analyzing our BVRI light curves and radial-velocity curve from the LAMOST low-resolution spectral survey. Finally, our orbital solution shows that they are contact eclipsing binaries with contact factors of 3.35 (±0.08)% for V582 Lyr and 41.0 (±0.1)% for V1016 Oph.
He ii Emission from Wolf–Rayet Stars as a Tool for Measuring Dust Reddening
Authors: Leitherer Claus , Lee Janice C. , Faisst Andreas
Published: October 2019

We calibrated a technique to measure dust attenuation in star-forming galaxies. The technique utilizes the stellar-wind lines in Wolf–Rayet stars, which are widely observed in galaxy spectra. The He ii 1640 and 4686 features are recombination lines whose ratio is largely determined by atomic physics. Therefore they can serve as a stellar dust probe in the same way as the Balmer lines are used as a nebular probe. We measured the strength of the He ii 1640 line in 97 Wolf–Rayet stars in the Galaxy and the Large Magellanic Cloud. The reddening corrected fluxes follow a tight correlation with a fixed ratio of 7.76 for the He ii 1640 to 4686 line ratio. Dust attenuation decreases this ratio. We provide a relation between the stellar E(B−V) and the observed line ratio for several attenuation laws. Combining this technique with the use of the nebular Balmer decrement allows the determination of the stellar and nebular dust attenuation in galaxies and can probe its effects at different stellar age and mass regimes, independently of the initial mass function and the star formation history. We derived the dust reddening from the He ii line fluxes and compared it to the reddening from the Balmer decrement and from the slope of the ultraviolet continuum in two star-forming galaxies. The three methods result in dust attenuations which agree to within the errors. Future application of this technique permits studies of the stellar dust attenuation compared to the nebular attenuation in a representative galaxy sample.

Published: October 2019

We have conducted a highly sensitive census of the evolved-star population in the metal-poor dwarf galaxy Leo P and detected four asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star candidates. Leo P is one of the best examples of a nearby analog of high-redshift galaxies because of its primitive metal content (2% of the solar value), proximity, and isolated nature, ensuring a less complicated history. Using medium-band optical photometry from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), we have classified the AGB candidates by their chemical type. We have identified one oxygen-rich source which appears to be dusty in both the HST and Spitzer observations. Its brightness, however, suggests it may be a planetary nebula or post-AGB object. We have also identified three carbon-rich candidates, one of which may be dusty. Follow-up observations are needed to confirm the nature of these sources and to study the composition of any dust that they produce. If dust is confirmed, these stars would likely be among the most metal-poor examples of dust-producing stars known and will provide valuable insight into our understanding of dust formation at high redshift.
Probing the Environment of High-z Quasars Using the Proximity Effect in Projected Quasar Pairs
Authors: Jalan Priyanka , Chand Hum , Srianand Raghunathan
Published: October 2019

We have used spectra of 181 projected quasar pairs at separations ≤1.5′ from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12 in the redshift range of 2.5–3.5 to probe the proximity regions of the foreground quasars. We study the proximity effect both in the longitudinal and in the transverse directions, by carrying out a comparison of the Lyα  absorption lines originating from the vicinity of quasars to those originating from the general intergalactic medium at the same redshift. We found an enhancement in the transmitted flux within 4 Mpc to the quasar in the longitudinal direction. However, the trend is found to be reversed in the transverse direction. In the longitudinal direction, we derived an excess overdensity profile showing an excess up to r ≤ 5 Mpc after correcting for the quasar’s ionization, taking into account the effect of low spectral resolution. This excess overdensity profile matches with the average overdensity profile in the transverse direction without applying any correction for the effect of the quasar’s ionization. Among various possible interpretations, we found that the anisotropic obscuration of the quasar’s ionization seems to be the most probable explanation. This is also supported by the fact that all of our foreground quasars happen to be type 1 AGNs. Finally, we constrain the average quasar’s illumination along the transverse direction as compared to that along the longitudinal direction to be ≤27% (3σ confidence level).
Chronology of Episodic Accretion in Protostars—An ALMA Survey of the CO and H2O Snowlines

Published: October 2019

Episodic accretion has been used to explain the wide range of protostellar luminosities, but its origin and influence on the star-forming process are not yet fully understood. We present an ALMA survey of N2H+ (1−0) and HCO+ (3−2) toward 39 Class 0 and Class I sources in the Perseus molecular cloud. N2H+ and HCO+ are destroyed via gas-phase reactions with CO and H2O, respectively, thus tracing the CO and H2O snowline locations. A snowline location at a much larger radius than that expected from the current luminosity suggests that an accretion burst has occurred in the past that has shifted the snowline outward. We identified 18/18 Class 0 and 9/10 Class I post-burst sources from N2H+ and 7/17 Class 0 and 1/8 Class I post-burst sources from HCO+. The accretion luminosities during the past bursts are found to be ∼10–100 L
⊙. This result can be interpreted as either evolution of burst frequency or disk evolution. In the former case, assuming that refreeze-out timescales are 1000 yr for H2O and 10,000 yr for CO, we found that the intervals between bursts increase from 2400 yr in the Class 0 stage to 8000 yr in the Class I stage. This decrease in the burst frequency may reflect that fragmentation is more likely to occur at an earlier evolutionary stage when the young stellar object is more prone to instability.
An ALMA Study of the FU Ori–type Object V900 Mon: Implications for the Progenitor

Published: October 2019

We present ALMA observations of 12CO, 13CO, and C18O J = 2–1 lines and the 230 GHz continuum for the FU Ori–type object (FUor) V900 Mon (d ∼ 1.5 kpc), for which the accretion burst was triggered between 1953 and 2009. We identified CO emission associated with a molecular bipolar outflow extending up to an ∼104 au scale and a rotating molecular envelope extending over >104 au. The interaction with the hot energetic FUor wind, which was observed using optical spectroscopy, appears limited to a region within ∼400 au of the star. The envelope mass and collimation of the extended CO outflow suggest that the progenitor of this FUor is a low-mass Class I young stellar object (YSO). These parameters for V900 Mon, another FUor, and a few FUor-like stars are consistent with the idea that FUor outbursts are associated with normal YSOs. The continuum emission is marginally resolved in our observations with a 0.″2 × 0.″15 (∼300 × 225 au) beam, and a Gaussian model provides a deconvolved FWHM of ∼90 au. The emission is presumably associated with a dusty circumstellar disk, plus a possible contribution from a wind or wind cavity close to the star. The warm compact nature of the disk continuum emission could be explained with viscous heating of the disk, while gravitational fragmentation in the outer disk and/or a combination of grain growth and their inward drift may also contribute to its compact nature.
Computer and Internet Access for Long-Term Care Residents: Perceived Benefits and Barriers
Authors: Tak Sunghee H. , Beck Cornelia , McMahon Ed
Published: October 2019

In this study, the authors examined residents’ computer and Internet access, as well as benefits and barriers to access in nursing homes. Administrators of 64 nursing homes in a national chain completed surveys. Fourteen percent of the nursing homes provided computers for residents to use, and 11% had Internet access. Some residents owned personal computers in their rooms. Administrators perceived the benefits of computer and Internet use for residents as facilitating direct communication with family and providing mental exercise, education, and enjoyment. Perceived barriers included cost and space for computer equipment and residents’ cognitive and physical impairments. Implications of residents’ computer activities were discussed for nursing care. Further research is warranted to examine therapeutic effects of computerized activities and their cost effectiveness.
Hormone Therapy in Perimenopausal and Postmenopausal Women: Examining the Evidence on Cardiovascular Disease Risks
Authors: Plonczynski Donna J. , Plonczynski Katrina J.
Published: October 2019

Women may live for 30 years or longer after menopause with cardiovascular disease as their highest mortality risk. Menopause may correspond to health alterations for women, yet the use of estrogen during and after this transition has been controversial for the past four decades. The evidence from recent scientific studies does not support the use of hormone therapy for the prevention or treatment of cardiovascular disease, which has resulted in its removal from national guideline recommendations. However, because of concerns related to specific aspects of the research, there are gaps in the evidence. Studies are under way to evaluate alternate methods for hormone delivery, low-dose hormone therapy, and selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) in reducing cardiovascular risks in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Implications for clinical nursing practice include education as well as assessment and counseling related to individual risk factors.
Hereditarily non uniformly perfect non-autonomous Julia sets
Authors: Comerford Mark , Stankewitz Rich , Sumi Hiroki
Published: October 2019

Hereditarily non uniformly perfect (HNUP) sets were introduced by Stankewitz, Sugawa, and Sumi in [19] who gave several examples of such sets based on Cantor set-like constructions using nested intervals. We exhibit a class of examples in non-autonomous iteration where one considers compositions of polynomials from a sequence which is in general allowed to vary. In particular, we give a sharp criterion for when Julia sets from our class will be HNUP and we show that the maximum possible Hausdorff dimension of \begin{document}$ 1 $\end{document} for these Julia sets can be attained. The proof of the latter considers the Julia set as the limit set of a non-autonomous conformal iterated function system and we calculate the Hausdorff dimension using a version of Bowen's formula given in the paper by Rempe-Gillen and Urbánski [15].
Big Data Warehouse
Authors: Dehdouh Khaled , Boussaid Omar , Bentayeb Fadila
Published: October 2019

In the Big Data warehouse context, a column-oriented NoSQL database system is considered as the storage model which is highly adapted to data warehouses and online analysis. Indeed, the use of NoSQL models allows data scalability easily and the columnar store is suitable for storing and managing massive data, especially for decisional queries. However, the column-oriented NoSQL DBMS do not offer online analysis operators (OLAP). To build OLAP cubes corresponding to the analysis contexts, the most common way is to integrate other software such as HIVE or Kylin which has a CUBE operator to build data cubes. By using that, the cube is built according to the row-oriented approach and does not allow to fully obtain the benefits of a column-oriented approach. In this article, the focus is to define a cube operator called MC-CUBE (MapReduce Columnar CUBE), which allows building columnar NoSQL cubes according to the columnar approach by taking into account the non-relational and distributed aspects when data warehouses are stored.
Construction of Liver Fibrosis Diagnosis Ontology From Fuzzy Extended ER Modeling
Authors: Sweidan Sara , El-Bakry Hazem , Sabbeh Sahar F
Published: October 2019

Liver fibrosis diagnoses is a critical and core research study field due to its importance to the patient's life. Moreover, electronic health records (EHR) contain wealthy semantics connected to liver diseases yet ontological implementation is still a challenge. Ontology however, can play critical roles in E-health as a formalization of medical terminologies and decision support system knowledge base. But since clinical data contains a lot of data that is imprecise and vague, classical approaches of ontology construction would not be fruitful. However, Fuzzy ontology, an extension of the crisp ontology that requires different development methodology, can be implemented in this field due to its previous success in modeling semantic knowledge in various domains. In this article, the authors construct a fuzzy ontology by using a fuzzy extended entity relationship (EER) data model for liver fibrosis diagnosis. The resulting ontology is complete and consistent because it is based on a formal methodology of mapping the EER model into a fuzzy ontology.

The dominance of Aeshnidae is consistent with other Paleocene and Eocene fossil localities.Auroradraco eosis the only fossil Gomphidae in the roughly 66-million-year gap between occurrences in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber and the early Oligocene of France.Ypshnaappears close toParabaissaeshna ejerslevensefrom the early Eocene Fur Formation of Denmark; this is not surprising given Holarctic intercontinental connections at this time and a growing list of insect taxa shared between the Okanagan Highlands and the Fur Formation.
Sport Specialization and Fitness and Functional Task Performance Among Youth Competitive Gymnasts
Authors: Root Hayley , Marshall Ashley N. , Thatcher Anna , Valier Alison R. Snyder , Valovich McLeod Tamara C. , Bay R. Curtis
Published: October 2019

Context

Gymnastics trains fundamental movement skills but has high rates of early sport specialization. Early specialization is associated with increased injury risk. Gymnasts devote time to developing technical skill, but whether specialization status influences performance is unknown.

Objective

To describe the participation and specialization characteristics of youth club gymnastics participants and determine whether the level of specialization is associated with fitness and functional task performance.

Design

Retrospective cross-sectional study.

Setting

A single gymnastics facility.

Patients or Other Participants

Data on youth gymnasts (n = 131; 84 females, 47 males; age = 10.9 ± 2.9 years, height = 142.14 ± 16.23 cm, mass = 38.15 ± 12.93 kg) were reviewed.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Specialization was assessed using a 3-tiered classification. Fitness measurements consisted of the Gymnastics Functional Measurement Tool, Men's Gymnastics Functional Measurement Tool, and core strength. Functional tasks evaluated hop performance, dynamic balance, and jump-landing technique. Separate analyses of covariance, covaried by age, hours of training, and years of gymnastics participation, were used to identify differences in fitness and functional performance among specialization groups. Pearson product correlations were calculated to evaluate the relationships between training hours per week and years in gymnastics with fitness and functional performance.

Results

Most gymnasts were classified as moderately (50.4%, n = 66) or highly (35.1%, n = 46) specialized. Only 14.5% (n = 19) were classified as having a low level of specialization. Weak to moderate correlations were present between years in gymnastics and most fitness tasks. Moderate to strong correlations were noted between training hours per week and most fitness tasks. Low-specialization gymnasts scored lower on right lower extremity Y-balance (P = .004), upper left extremity Y-balance (P = .033), and right hop performance (P = .039) tests.

Conclusions

Gymnasts reported high proportions of moderate to high specialization, and many exceeded guidelines for hours participating in gymnastics per week. We did not observe clinically meaningful group differences among specialization status and fitness or functional movement tasks, indicating no clear benefit of gymnastics training to the exclusion of other sports for increased performance.

-minimal hypersurfaces in a weighted Euclidean space endowed with a convex weight. When the hypersurface is compact, we show that the index is bounded from below by an affine function of its first Betti number. When the first Betti number is large, this improves index estimates known in literature. In the complete non-compact case, the lower bound is in terms of the dimension of the space of weighted square summable

Denken wie ein Philosoph, aber reden wie ein Bauer. – Das Normative der Rechtssprache
Authors: Gruntar Jermol Ada
Published: October 2019

Gesetze gelten als anspruchsvollste juristische Textsorte; als normative Texte drücken sie Verhaltensvorschriften aus, indem sie ein bestimmtes Tun oder Unterlassen gebieten, verbieten oder gewähren. Obwohl die meisten eine klare Makrostruktur aufweisen, wird ihre Rezeption aufgrund der „mangelnden“ Textkohärenz wesentlich erschwert. Als normative Texte zeichnen sie sich durch einen hohen Grad der Abstraktheit aus, was einen verdichteten sowie konzisen und somit einen schwerer verständlichen Stil zur Folge hat. Außerdem unterscheiden sich Gesetze von allen anderen juristischen Textsorten durch die stark normierte sprachliche Formulierung: Für sie ist allgemein ein unpersönlicher Stil mit der Verwendung von Indefinitpronomen und des Passivs sowie nominalisierter Strukturen charakteristisch. So ist der Umgang mit Gesetzestexten wesentlich anspruchsvoller als der Umgang mit informativen Rechtstexten – selbst für Fachleute, geschweige denn für juristische Laien. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden einige grundlegende Charakteristiken der deutschen normativen Rechtssprache dargelegt, und zwar am Beispiel des Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuches (BGB), das als Meilenstein des deutschen Rechts gilt.

Deutsche und kroatische Phraseme zum Ausdruck des Raumes
Authors: Pavić Pintarić Anita
Published: October 2019

In diesem Beitrag werden Phraseme zur Bezeichnung des Raumes in der deutschen und kroatischen Sprache untersucht. Es wird von räumlichen Dimensionen ausgegangen, die anhand der grammatischen, semantischen und raumlinguistischen Untersuchungen bestimmt wurden. Phraseme wurden in einsprachigen allgemeinen und phraseologischen Wörterbüchern gesucht, wobei ihre morphosyntaktische und semantische Klassifikation bei der Analyse in Betracht gezogen wurden. Die Analyse erwies folgende räumliche Dimensionen, die in beiden Sprachen mit Phrasemen ausgedrückt werden können: „Weite“, „überall“, „Entfernt sein“ – „Nähe“ und „Standort“. Für die Dimension „Weite“ werden in beiden Sprachen idiomatische adverbiale Phraseme mit Konstituenten das Freie, Himmel und Welt verwendet. Die Dimension „überall“ weist auf alle Richtungen und Distanzen und wird mit den Konstituenten Ecken, Seiten, Schritt, Weg, Welt, oben – unten, aus – ein, auf – ab, links und rechts signalisiert. In der Dimension „Entferntsein“ – „Nähe“ signalisieren Konstituenten Reichweite, Berge und Ende der Welt eine „große Entfernung“, während auf die „Nähe“ noch mit Körperteilen Nase, Fersen sowie mit Schritten hingewiesen wird. Die letzte Dimension „Standort“ umfasst u. a. das Zuhause, den Zufluchtsort“ sowie geografische Standorte und zeichnet sich durch positive und negative Bewertung aus.
Modalpartikeln in deutschen Aussagesätzen und ihre slowenischen Entsprechungen
Authors: Petrič Teodor
Published: October 2019

Die deutschen Modalpartikeln (MP) sind sprachspezifische indexikalische Zeichen, mit denen auf einen vorgegebenen Sachverhalt oder Sprechakt verwiesen werden kann. Die MP markiert ihre Äußerung als respondierenden Gesprächszug in einer tatsächlichen oder vorausgesetzten Dialogstruktur. Im Beitrag wird eine Auswahl deutscher MP in Aussagesätzen mit slowenischen Partikeln verglichen, die dieselbe grundlegende indexikalische Funktion erfüllen. Die funktionelle Analyse beruht hauptsächlich auf Belegen aus mündlichen (kindersprachlichen und umgangssprachlichen) Dialogen. Grammatisch relevante Oppositionen ergeben sich aus der Klassenbedeutung aller MP in Kombination mit abstrakten distinktiven Bedeutungen der einzelnen MP. Die distinktiven Bedeutungskomponenten deutscher MP in Aussagesätzen und vergleichbarer slowenischer MP-artiger Lexeme ermöglichen die Unterscheidung mehrerer Subklassen, von denen die affirmativen, konsekutiven, korrektiven, simplifikativen und presumptiven MP in den Äußerungen deutscher Kinder meist früher nachweisbar sind als iterative, augmentative, konzessive und komparative MP. Eine ähnliche Tendenz ist auch im kleineren erstsprachlichen Korpus slowenischer Vorschulkinder sichtbar.
Das Kommunikationsprinzip der Originalität in Texten und Kommunikationsangeboten: Zur Nutzung kreativer Strategien im Bereich verschiedener Modalitäten, Medialität und Lokalität
Authors: Škerlavaj Tanja
Published: October 2019

Zwecks einer besseren Verständigung befolgen Kommunikationsteilnehmer gewisse Kommunikationsprinzipien, die in sozialen Kontexten einen normativen Charakter haben, sie sind kulturgeprägt und textsortenspezifisch. So ist beispielsweise für wissenschaftliche Texte das Kommunikationsprinzip der präzisen Darstellung und für Theater-Spielpläne oder Twitter-Beiträge das Prinzip der Präsentationsökonomie und Komprimierung besonders typisch. In Texten, die aus Gründen der Aufmerksamkeitsgewinnung oft von der Norm abweichen, hat typischerweise das Kommunikationsprinzip der Kreativität und Originalität Geltung. Die Verfasser solcher Texte bedienen sich innovativer sprachlicher und nicht-sprachlicher Mittel, mit denen sie über das Gewohnte hinausgehen und oft gegen die „Regeln“ verstoßen. Der Beitrag verfolgt zwei Ziele: Zum einen sollen anhand einer exemplarischen Analyse verschiedener Textbeispiele einige Möglichkeiten des kreativen Handelns im Bereich der Sprache dargestellt werden. Zum anderen soll im Beitrag erforscht werden, inwiefern, auf welche Art und Weise und zu welchen Zwecken kreative Strategien und innovative Darstellungselemente auch im Bereich anderer Modalitäten bzw. semiotischer Ressourcen (wie etwa Layout, Bild, Typographie, Farbe) sowie in den Bereichen der Medialität und Lokalität dieser kommunikativen Angebote genutzt werden können.
„Die meisten Menschen, sagt meine Grossmutter, sind sich selber das grösste Rätsel” – Gemeinplätze in Kinder- und jugendliterarischen Texten
Authors: Valenčič Arh Urška
Published: October 2019

Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt das Vorkommen der satzwertigen phraseologischen Einheiten, Gemeinplätze genannt, und ihre Einsetzung in ausgewählten jugendliterarischen Texten. Der Begriff „Gemeinplatz“ ist eine Eindeutschung des lateinischen locus communis bzw. des englischen commonplace. Nach begrifflichen Klärungen zum Gemeinplatz als einer phraseologischen Einheit innerhalb der satzwertigen Phraseme wurden konkrete Belege aus Werken der österreichischen Jugendbuchautorin Christine Nöstlinger vorgestellt, analysiert und unter dem Aspekt der textuellen Einbettung in den Kontext eingeordnet. Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchung zeigen, dass Gemeinplätze in den kinder- und jugendliterarischen Texten von Christine Nöstlinger nicht oft vorkommen, jedoch tragen sie zur Intensivierung von Aussagen bei. In den ausgewählten fünf Werken für Leser unterschiedlichen Alters wurden in jedem Werk nur bis zu zwei Gemeinplätze meist in der gesprochenen Sprache von erwachsenen Personen als gutgemeinter Rat oder der Ausdruck ihrer langjährigen Erfahrungen eingesetzt. Mit diesen satzwertigen Formulierungen charakterisiert die Autorin die einzelnen Figuren im sogenannten Sprachporträt. Unter dem Aspekt der textuellen Realisation lässt sich zusammenfassend sagen, dass Gemeinplätze als Ansichten, Einstellungen oder Überzeugungen wohldurchdacht in den Kontext eingebettet werden.

The study investigated economic analysis of NERICA and non-NERICA rice producers in Kaduna State of Nigeria. Data for 2010 production season for NERICA and non-NERICA rice producers was collected from the two groups of farmers. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, gross margin analysis and Z – test. The mean rice farming experience was 25 years for both the participants and non - participants. The average household size was 6 persons for participants and 8 persons for non – participants. Most of the respondents however, (73% of participants and 82% of non – participants) acquired their land holdings through inheritance. The mean farm sizes for participants and non – participants were 1.9ha and 1.1ha respectively. The mean credit used by participants and non – participants were ₦25, 500 and ₦15, 200 respectively. The mean frequency of Extension Agents’ visit was 35 times for participants and 32 times for non-participants. The mean gross margin for NERICA and non – NERICA rice production is ₦145, 090.35 and ₦73, 325.40 per ha while return per Naira invested in NERICA rice and non - NERICA producers were 2.13 and 1.57, suggesting that NERICA rice production was more profitable. The one tailed test at 5% level of probability revealed that the difference in profitability between NERICA and non – NERICA was significant. The study recommends that the NERICA rice farmers to increase their land holdings for higher output, profit and benefit as well as return per Naira investment; and also to join the CBN Anchor Borrowers’ Programme for support to production in large scale for commercial purposes.Keywords: Participants, Non-Participants, Gross margin, Investment return and NERICA

FULL POLARIMETRIC UAVSAR IMAGE CHANGE DETECTION BASED ON CHANGE INDICES
Authors: Yousefizadeh L. , Shahhoseini R. , Homayouni S.
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Change detection is one of the most important applications of Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) data in monitoring urban development and supporting urban planning due to the sensibility of SAR signal to geometrical and physical properties of terrestrial features. In this paper, we proposed an unsupervised change detection method using change indices extracted from PolSAR images. Kernel k-means clustering was then performed to extract changed areas. The kernel k-means clustering is an unsupervised algorithm that maps the input features to higher Hilbert dimension space by using a kernel function. To better representation of changed areas, different change indices were generated. The method was applied to UAVSAR L-band SAR images acquired over an urban area in San Andreas, United States. We evaluated the change detection performance based on kappa and overall accuracies of the proposed approach and compared with other well-known classic methods.

Abstract. The estimation of cultivation area and categorizing the agricultural product types is one of the prerequisites for achieving sustainable development in the agricultural studies. In this study, an unsupervised zoning the cultivation areas with the same cultivation pattern in Golestan province is on the agenda. Therefore, due to wide spatial range, high temporal resolution and easy access of 16-day products of the vegetation of the MODIS sensor which acquired in a year (From November 2017 to October 2018), these images are used in this research. In the proposed method, after the generating of NDVI vegetation time series as a hyper-cube and separating farmlands’ boundaries in Golestan province using the land-use map; the Sequential Maximum Angle Convex Cone (SMACC) endmember extraction algorithm and the maximum number of product variation using the statistical information of the region (Obtained from the statistics centre of Iran) are used to extract endmembers of the hyper-cube. In the following, the timing responses of the NDVI, identified as endmembers, will be refined in the second phase. In this process, identifying and eliminating noise signals (unrelated to cultivating patterns) and integrating the same cultivating patterns will be on the agenda. At the last stage of the proposed method and after refinement of the endmembers, the hyper-cube is clustered by Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) algorithm and the mapping of regions with the same cultivation pattern is produced. In the proposed method, the zoning of agricultural land is based solely on the statistical knowledge of the variety of cultivation and the results have led to the production of interconnected spatial parts. This is consistent with the reality of the spatial occurrence of similar cultivating patterns in a geographic area. On the other hand, the visual comparison of results with large scale satellite images illustrates that there is a significant relationship between clustering results and ground truth in terms of cultivating pattern. Obviously, such products can be used as initial layers of information to produce the results of a supervised classification with the aim of applying the cultivation area of a variety of agricultural products.

Published: October 2019

Parte-se da hipótese de que a Articulação Internacional das Atingidas e Atingidos pela Vale, criada em 2009 por intelectuais de movimentos sociais, sindicais e outras organizações, constrói uma rede em escala planetária para promover estratégias de enfrentamento aos impactos socioambientais causados pela mineradora Vale S.A. As ações ocorrem por meio de redes sociais, como blog e facebook, e nas ruas, com protestos, manifestações e seminários. Com base na matriz gramsciana, observamos que a Articulação Internacional das Atingidas e Atingidos pela Vale faz um trabalho de desvelamento dos consensos construídos pela hegemonia da empresa a respeito da sua ação no campo da sustentabilidade. Assim, ao dar visibilidade aos impactos socioambientais provocados pela mineradora, contribui para forçar mudanças sociais.

USO DE LAMA RESIDUAL DE CONCRETO COMO SUBSTITUTO DA CAL HIDRATADA PARA PRODUÇÃO DE ARGAMASSAS DE REVESTIMENTO
Authors: Bonfim Walter Batista , Carvalho Igor Mazon , De Paula Heber Martins
Published: October 2019

RESUMO: A construção civil tem sido reconhecida como uma atividade responsável por grande degradação ambiental. Assim, a maior sustentabilidade nesse setor da economia pode ser melhorada através da adoção de “tecnologias limpas”, de forma a minimizar os impactos ambientais em termos de geração de resíduos e consumo de energia e materiais tradicionais. Ainda pouco estudada, a utilização da lama residual de concreto (LRC) como material alternativo para produção de argamassas pode ser uma alternativa viável. Assim sendo, o presente artigo tem como objetivo avaliar o desempenho mecânico de argamassas produzidas com a lama residual de concreto seca (LRC-S) como substituto total e parcial da cal hidratada, avaliando o seu comportamento por meio de ensaios de consistência, resistência à tração na flexão e à compressão, absorção de água por capilaridade e densidade. No estado fresco, foi constatado que a utilização da LRC-S possui um impacto negativo na trabalhabilidade das argamassas, sobretudo para taxas de substituição superiores a 75%, em massa. Por outro lado, a substituição da cal hidratada, em até 50% em massa, se mostra viável, apresentando propriedades mecânicas equivalentes ao traço tomado como referência.

ABSTRACT: Civil construction has been recognized as an activity responsible for major environmental degradation. Therefore, greater sustainability in this sector of the economy can be improved by adopting “clean technologies” to minimize environmental impacts in terms of waste generation and energy and material consumption. Still little studied, the use of concrete sludge waste (CSW) as an alternative material for the production of mortars can be a viable alternative. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mechanical performance of mortars produced with dry sludge as a total and partial substitute for hydrated lime, evaluating its behavior through tests of consistency, flexural strength and compression, water absorption by capillarity and density. In the fresh state, it was found that the use of CSW has a negative impact on the workability of mortars, especially for replacement rates above 75% by mass. On the other hand, the substitution of hydrated lime, up to 50% by mass, is feasible, presenting mechanical properties equivalent to the mix taken as reference.

Published: October 2019

This study aims to analyze the empirical evidence about the effect of environmental performance on firm value mediated by firm reputation. The sample of this study is the mining industry sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2018. The data is analyzed using partial least squares based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with WarpPLS 6.0 software. The results show that environmental performance has a positive and significant effect on firm reputation. In contrast to the expectation, environmental performance has a negative and significant effect on firm value. Firm reputation further becomes a significant mediator in the relationship between environmental performance and firm value. These findings recommend for future studies to expand the objects and extend the observation period.
