Published: November 2018

Selection of high quality seedling through plant breeding activity can be conducted using yielded seeds, but usually it produces a low heritability. Therefore, this study was aimed to examine and analize several secondary phenotypic characters of 115 cowpea germ plasms in relation to seed yield. Relationship between secondary characters and seed yield was analyzed using path analysis. The result of path analysis showed that the number of cluster and the number of pod exhibited direct and significant effect to the seed yield of cowpea. Therefore, number of cluster and number of pod are necessary to be included as the selection criteria for breeding programme to produce high quality cowpea seedling with high yield.

Published: November 2018

Fish of Tor genus have a slow growth character that resulted in increasing production cost. The high production cost is related to the high price of feed. Fish growth can be triggered by an optimal feeding. A feeding strategy is needed to improve the efficiency of production cost. This study aimed to determine the profitability and the performance of the seedling thai mahseer fish with different feeding frequencies. This study was conducted in Germplasm Research Station, Cijeruk in March-April 2014. The fish used in the experiment have a standard length of 2.29 ± 0.12 cm and weight of 0.32 ± 0.07 g derived from induced breeding spawning of the broodstock natural catches which was adapted for four years in pond concrete. The fish were reared in the aquarium (dimension= 40 x 30 x 30 cm) with a water height of 20 cm and a stocking density of 50 individuals each. The experiment was designed by using three treatments and three replications for each treatment. Fish were feed using commercial feed (protein content = 28%) as much as 20% per day of the total biomass. The treatment observed was feeding frequency, namely (A) three times/day, (B) twice/day, (C) once/day. Results of the experiment for 40 days showed that the increasing values of length, weight, specific growth rate, survival rate, biomass and FCR were not significantly difference (P>0.05). The highest benefit value was obtained in the treatment of feeding with a frequency of three times/day (Rp. 332.304 ± 14.819,-).

Authors: Zein Moch Syamsul Arifin
Published: November 2018

The cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene is a reprensentative of all the protein-coding genes of the mitochondrial DNA genome that has been widely used as an animal species identification tool. In this study, 86 sequences of DNA barcodes of members of the family Accipitridae in Indonesia including Nisaetus bartelsi, Nisaetus cirrhatus, Haliaeetus leucogaster, Spilornis cheela, Haliastur indus, and 11 sequences from Genbank were examined. Each species was confirmed through the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). The construction of phylogeny trees based on COI gene sequences was performed by the Neighbors-joining method where the calculation of the genetic distance matrix with the Kimura 2-parameter model was implemented in pairwise distance calculation in the Mega version 6.05 programe. The results of the analysis showed that the divergence within species ranged from 0 to 0.3% (0.13 ± 0.12%), between species ranged from 1.6 to 18.5% (12.8 ± 3.73%), between genera ranged from 13 to 18.6%, and the average in the Accipitridae Family was 11.8%. Therefore, it could form clusters in each species cohesively and clearly separated between the taxa analyzed.

Ciplukan (Physalis spp.) is a wild plant which is that potentially used as a medicinal plant. Information related to the diversity of Physalis spp. in Indonesia is limited. The objectives of the research was to identify the diversity of wild Physalis sp. on Mt. Kelud, East Java based on morphological characters, total protein profiles, and flavonoid compounds. The research was conducted by survey on some gradients viz. 200–400, 400–600, 600–800, 800–1,000 and >1,000 m above sea level. Identification of morphological characters was focused on root, stem, leaf, flower and fruit covering 16 characters for scoring. Identification of total protein profile was performed by SDS-PAGE method and the flavonoid compound was analyzed using UV spectrophotometric method based on the colorimetric principle. The degree of diversity of Physalis spp. was determined based on morphological similarity and total protein profiles through cluster analysis. The results showed that Physalis spp. on Kelud was found up to 1,000 m above sea level. Altitude affected to the morphological diversity, total protein profile and the flavonoid compound. Morphological features that play a role in the diversity of Physalis sp. were the direction of growing stems, leaf shape, leaf margin, leaf surface, leaf stalk color, stain color on the inner neck of thr flower, and fruiting calyx color. Expression of total protein P. minima. shows similarity to P. angulata L. Physalis sp. in the low gradient have a higher flavonoid compound as compared to the middle and high gradients. There were two species of Physalis found on the gradient of Mt. Kelud, East Java, namely Physalis minima L. and Physalis angulata L.

Authors: Habibzadeh Nasim
Published: November 2018

Walking is the best possible exercise to promote fitness. However, ambient temperature has an impact on walking regimen and performing exercise in different biological conditions can be challenging tasks. For example, both cold and hot temperatures can impair walking performance. In fact, walking in different cold and warm ambient can be challenging physical activity. But suitable sport wears and drinks during walking performances can protect of the body in cold and warm conditions. In this relation, different cold and warm weathers although can challenge walking performance but they account for opportunities for body to adapt to the different seasonal conditions. Thus, performing regular walking in different cold and warm weathers can help individual to stay active as well as fit.

El trabajo recorre brevemente la poética de E. A. Vigo haciendo hincapié en el devenir creativo, desde sus primeras cosas hacia las utopías realizables y sus derivas en la formación de un arte expandido en la ciudad de La Plata. Sus propuestas artísticas parten del experimentalismo y llegan al arte de acción y más allá, en lo que podemos denominar la expansión del arte en el no arte. La figura del artista es revisada a lo largo de su trayectoria multifacética, en la que se puede subrayar también los escritos para una teoría del (in) (no) arte a través del quehacer creativo. Finalmente se mencionan algunos grupos y artistas que acompañaron o siguieron sus propuestas

La cosmología de lo neobarroco: La función de la astronomía dentro de la poesía de Severo Sarduy y Haroldo de Campos
Authors: Anderson Vaughn
Published: November 2018

Al utilizar la ciencia astronómica como una base teórica o armazón conceptual para su poética neobarroca durante los años 70 y 80, el poeta cubano Severo Sarduy y el brasileño Haroldo de Campos participan en una tradición poética que proviene del poeta francés Stéphane Mallarmé, quien usó el concepto de la constelación para caracterizar la tipografía dispersa de su famoso poema experimental, Un Coup de dés (1914). Sin embargo, Sarduy y de Campos aprovechan esta idea de la constelación sólo como punto de partida. Ambos poetas van más allá de la constelación para convertir en poesía varias otras teorías científicas emergentes del día: el Big Bang, la deriva espacial, la materia oscura, etc. Así, estos dos poetas logran dramatizar la manera en que el lenguaje, igual que el universo que representa, se define por la incertidumbre, la ausencia y la inefabilidad.

Pterobryopsis kegeliana (Müll. Hal.) M. Fleisch., so far known from Pachmarhi and the Western Ghats in India, and P. scabriuscula (Mitt.) M. Fleisch., known from the Western Ghats, Sri Lanka and Thailand (?), are recorded for the first time in the Eastern Ghats. A perusal of literature revealed that Meteorium scabriusculum Mitt., the holotype of P. scabriuscula, collected by Law from Concan, presumed to be a place in Thailand by Noguchi refers to only the present-day Konkan region in Peninsular India. Hence, the distribution of P. scabriuscula is amended here. Detailed descriptions with figures and photographic plates are provided.
Der Rechtshistoriker Guido Kisch als Deutscher jüdischen Glaubens
Authors: Battenberg J. Friedrich
Published: November 2018

The German-Jewish legal historian, Guido Kisch, born into the former Bohemian Jewish community of Prague, was a very famous scientist during the Weimar Republic and the first decades after the Second World War. Persecuted by the Nazis, he had to leave Germany for the United States of America. His research on matters relating to medieval German law, social and economic problems of medieval society, especially of the Jewish communities, became famous inside the scientific community. But less is known as to his Jewishness and the influence of his traditional Jewish views on his scientific ideas and discoveries, or of his personal reasons for his actions and decisions. The reasons for this lack of clarity are evidently, in his opinion, that one must separate legal analyses and research from personal influences and interests - apparently an opinion gained under the influence of Max Weber’s positivism. But we can find some indications in the biography of Guido Kisch and his family. The following reflections demonstrate that there definitely are connections between his (private) faith and his scientific findings.
Hans of Strasbourg - The Life and Deeds of a Jewish Convert and Impostor Revisited
Authors: Jütte Robert
Published: November 2018

Gershom Scholems Kritik, die Wissenschaft des Judentums sei immer nur daran interessiert, was im »Salon« vorgehe, nicht aber im »Keller«, ist inzwischen von der neueren jüdischen Geschichtsschreibung Rechnung getragen worden. Dennoch gibt es immer noch zu wenige Studien zur jüdischen »Unterwelt«, vor allem in Hinblick auf die Geschichte der Juden vor der Emanzipation. Zu dieser »Unterwelt« gehörten auch Juden, die sich in betrügerischer Absicht mehrfach taufen ließen und nach ihrer Konversion auf die schiefe Bahn gerieten, weil sie mit den neuen Lebensumständen nicht zurechtkamen. Zu ihnen zählt im ausgehenden 15. Jahrhundert Hans von Straßburg, der sich in Straßburg zum Christentum bekehren ließ, durch das Land zog und immer wieder mit unterschiedlichen Delikten (Diebstahl, Ehebruch, Bettelei, Betrug, Erpressung) auf- und straffällig wurde, bevor er 1487 in die Mühlen der Nördlinger Justiz geriet, aber dennoch mit dem Leben davonkam. Seine zahlreichen Betrugsmaschen erlangten dadurch Nachruhm, dass frühneuzeitliche Schriften, die vor betrügerischen Bettlern und Gauner eindringlich warnten, sie erwähnen und mit seinem Namen verbinden. Seine spannende Lebensgeschichte wieder hier noch einmal aufgerollt und vor dem Hintergrund der neuen Forschungen zu Judentaufen in dieser Zeit beleuchtet.
Non-salient form in Chinese as a second language instruction: Input flood of Chinese notional passive construction
Authors: Zhang Liulin
Published: November 2018

Drawing upon the frequency effect and the noticing hypothesis in language acquisition, input flood treatment was introduced to second language instruction involving artificially increased incidence of the target items in the audio or visual texts that learners are exposed to, with the expectation that this artificial increase will aid learners in noticing and then acquiring the form. Targeting at Chinese notional passive construction (NPC), the present study employs pre-post testing to assess the effect of input flood, and employs think-aloud protocol (including source attributions) analysis during the posttest to detect participants’ awareness of the linguistic knowledge underlying their choices. Results from experiment 1 show that in comparison with the marked 被bèi construction (BEIC), NPC is extremely difficult to be noticed in incidental exposure, rendering the input flood treatment helpless in participants’ acquisition of NPC. However, it is found in experiment 2 that the effect of input flood can be elicited with a little amount of explicit instruction, which is indicative of an indispensable role of explicit instruction in teaching non-salient language forms. Besides, the linguistic knowledge demonstrated by participants regarding the selectional constraints between NPC and BEIC is primarily unconscious and is inherent among intermediate and advanced Chinese learners.
Trithemius and the Legend of the Wild Hunt
Authors: McDonald William C.
Published: November 2018

Das rege Interesse des vielseitigen und renommierten Theologen, Kryptologen und Chronisten Johannes Trithemius (1462–1516) an allen Aspekten der Magie ist hinreichend dokumentiert. Bisher ist aber seine Einstellung zu einem Bereich des Zauberwesens weitgehend unbeachtet, nämlich zum weit verbreiteten, im Volksglauben fest verankerten Legendenkomplex Wilde Jagd/Wilder Jäger. Uns ist gelungen, in seinem chronikalischen Werk vier Stellen ausfindig zu machen, die differenzierten Schattierungen des Phänomens ans Licht bringen. Sie behandeln ein Totenheer, einen verfluchten, nächtlichen Jäger und zwei durch die Lüfte jagende Zauberer. Einer dieser Zauberer ist ein jüdischer Magier, der durch Sinnestäuschung das Trugbild einer Jagd hervorbringt. Es wird klar, dass der Abt Trithemius der Geisterjagd gegenüber wenig Skepsis aufwies. Im Gegenteil: durch die genaue Datierung jedes einzelnen Vorkommens (878 bis zum Jahr 1354) war er bestrebt, seinen Ausführungen Glauben zu schenken. Jeder Beleg lässt sich als warnendes Exempel interpretieren, aber der religiöse Firnis bleibt dünn.
Aqua vitae, aqua mortis – Die (Nicht-)Thematisierung von Branntwein in den Kinder- und Hausmärchen der Brüder Grimm
Authors: Leingang Oxane
Published: November 2018

Der Beitrag gilt dem Motiv des Branntweins in Grimms Märchen. Im Kontext der Abstinenz- und Mäßigungsbewegungen des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts werden neben den KHM zeitgenössische Werke eingehend behandelt (Ludwig Bechstein, Der Teufel ist los oder das Märlein, wie der Teufel den Branntwein erfand; Ludwig Aurbacher, Des armen Waisen Leben und Tod). Daraus ergibt sich eine Tabuisierung des Genussmittels „Branntwein“ bzw. seine Charakterisierung als magisch-dämonisches Universaltherapeutikum.
Synthesis and Characterization of Aluminum Containing Silica Aerogel Catalysts for Degradation of PLA
Authors: Sivri Seda , Dilek Cerag , Sezgi Naime Aslı
Published: November 2018

Aluminum loaded silica aerogel based catalysts were synthesized by impregnation of aluminum into silica aerogel produced using sol-gel method in different aluminum loadings (2.5–15 wt%) to investigate their performances in degradation of polylactic acid (PLA).

Synthesized catalysts showed Type IV isotherm with H1 hysteresis which indicates the mesoporosity of the materials. They have demonstrated favorable properties in terms of high surface area (743–510 m2/g), pore volume (1.79–0.69 cm3/g), and pore diameter (6.38–3.60 nm) depending on aluminum loading amounts.

Thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated that metal loaded silica aerogel catalysts have an influence on degradation profile of PLA. A noticeable reduction in the activation energy for the PLA degradation was attained with an increase in aluminum loading. These findings show that silica aerogel catalysts are promising for the recycling processes of PLA with their pore characteristics and their acidity affect the degradation performance significantly.

Fake News with Real Consequences: The Effect of Cultural Identity on the Perception of Science
Authors: Bonney Kevin M.
Published: November 2018

Fake news and alternative science are increasingly popular topics of conversation in the public sphere and the classroom due to increasingly far-reaching social media and a shifting political climate. Promoting scientific literacy by providing opportunities for students to evaluate reports of contentious scientific issues and analyze the underlying factors that influence public perception of science is necessary for the development of an informed citizenry. This article describes a three-part learning activity useful for engaging biology students in evaluating the accuracy of science-related news reports, and reflecting upon the ways that social cues, religion, and political ideologies shape perception of science. These activities are appropriate for teaching about climate change, evolution, vaccines, and other important contemporary scientific issues in upper-level high school and undergraduate science courses.
Expressiveness in Music From a Multimodal Perspective
Authors: Teixeira Euler C. F. , Loureiro Mauricio A. , Yehia Hani C.
Published: November 2018

This article seeks to unveil quantitative relations between the patterns of movement recurrence of a group of expert clarinetists and expressive sonic manipulations they employ during their performances. The main hypothesis is that the recurrent ancillary gestures of musicians are closely related to their sounded expressive intentions, and that the expressive content imposed by them according to the music structure is reflected in their movement patterns. To conduct this multimodal investigation of expressiveness in music, movement and audio analyses of several clarinet performances of excerpts in the classical repertoire are presented and discussed in conjunction. The results show strong correlations between the recurrence pattern of clarinetists’ ancillary movements and expressive manipulations of timing, timbre, and loudness associated with melodic phrasing and harmonic and dynamic transitions in the performed music excerpts.
Tonality Without Structure
Authors: Bostwick Jeffrey , Seror George A. , Neill W. Trammell
Published: November 2018

In most Western music, notes in a melody relate not only to each other, but also to a “key”—a tonal center combined with an associated scale. Music is often classified as in a major or minor key, but within a scale that defines a major key, emphasizing different notes as the tonic yields different “modes.” Thus, within a set of notes, changing the tonal center changes the putative role of any given note. In this experiment, we eliminated all structural cues to the tonic within a melody by presenting notes randomly selected from the C major scale. A “mode” was established by a continuous drone note lower than the melody. Subjects rated mood (happy versus sad) and tension of each pseudo-melody. Consistent with Temperley and Tan (2013)—in which multiple structural cues were present—different modes produced reliable differences in judged mood and tension. Notably, modes with a major 3rd from the tonic (Ionian, Lydian, Mixolydian) were perceived as happier and less tense than modes with a minor 3rd (Dorian, Aeolian, Phrygian, Locrian). The results confirm that the perception of notes in a melody, and their consequent emotional connotation, depend at least in part to their relationship to a tonal center.

Dibenzoylmethane ameliorates lipid-induced inflammation and oxidative injury in diabetic nephropathy
Authors: Lee Eun Soo , Kwon Mi-Hye , Kim Hong Min , Kim Nami , Kim You Mi , Kim Hyeon Soo , Lee Eun Young , Chung Choon Hee
Published: November 2018

Dibenzoylmethane (DBM) is a beta-diketone analog of curcumin. Numerous studies have shown the beneficial effects of curcumin on diabetes, obesity and diabetic complications including diabetic nephropathy. Recently, we investigated the beneficial metabolic effects of DBM on high-fat diet-induced obesity. However, the effects and mechanisms of action of DBM in the kidney are currently unknown. To investigate the renoprotective effects of DBM in type 2 diabetes, we administered DBM (100 mg/kg) orally for 12 weeks to high-fat diet-induced diabetic model mice. We used mouse renal mesangial (MES13) and macrophage (RAW 264.7) cells to examine the mechanism of action of DBM (20 μM). After DBM treatment, the albumin-to-creatinine ratio was significantly decreased compared to that of the high-fat-diet group. Moreover, damaged renal ultra-structures and functions including increased glomerular volume, glomerular basement membrane thickness and inflammatory signals were ameliorated after DBM treatment. Stimulation of MES13 and RAW264.7 cells by palmitate or high-dose glucose with lipopolysaccharides increased inflammatory signals and macrophage migration. However, these changes were reversed by DBM treatment. In addition, DBM inhibited NADPH oxidase 2 and 4 expression and oxidative DNA damage. Collectively, these data suggested that DBM prevented diabetes-induced renal injury through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
PROJECT-BASED LEARNING IN INDONESIAN EFL CLASSROOMS: FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE
Authors: Gai Mali Yustinus Calvin
Published: November 2018

Project based learning (PBL) refers to an approach to instruction that teaches curriculum concepts through a project espousing principles of learner-centered teaching, learner autonomy, collaborative learning, and learning through tasks. This paper justifies the implementation of PBL to design two main projects and their activities in Creative Writing and Second Language Acquisition classes at English Language Education Program of Dunia University Indonesia (ED-DU). Moreover, the paper details pedagogical practices and learning resources deployed in both classes. The discussions would seem to indicate that the use of PBL grounded in the projects shows a high level of students’ participation in learning, and teachers’ innovative teaching practices. Finally, the paper hopes to provide EFL teachers who have similar teaching practices with practical ideas they can modify and develop to help students achieve particular learning objectives in their classrooms and continue the positive trends of implementing PBL in teaching and learning.

Indonesian University Graduates’ English Competence for Facing the Asean Economic Community (AEC)
Authors: Silalahi Rentauli Mariah
Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) has been started since 2015, yet Indonesia is not ready because many Indonesian graduates are not ready with adequate English competence. This means many students graduated from universities with poor English proficiency. To investigate this unpreparedness, this study was carried out to one of the universities in Indonesia by doing documents analysis towards the university’s curriculum and the graduates’ English proficiency as measured by TOEFL ITP test. After the analysis, this study found out that the university was not yet ready to produce graduates who are competent in English because the graduates’ TOEFL ITP average score for all years was 457. From 944 graduates batch 2001 to 2013, there were only 2 percent who could achieve a TOEFL ITP score of 550 or more. These research findings will be very useful for stakeholder and any other universities for reflection on their preparation for producing graduates who are competent in English.   ABSTRAK Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN (MEA) telah dimulai sejak 2015, namun Indonesia belum siap karena banyak lulusan Indonesia belum memiliki kompetensi bahasa Inggris yang memadai. Ini berarti banyak siswa lulus dari universitas dengan kemampuan bahasa Inggris yang buruk. Untuk mengetahui ketidaksiapan ini, penelitian ini dilakukan pada salah satu universitas di Indonesia dengan melakukan analisis dokumen terhadap kurikulum universitas dan kemampuan bahasa Inggris lulusan yang diukur dengan tes TOEFL ITP. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa universitas tersebut belum siap untuk menghasilkan lulusan yang kompeten dalam bahasa Inggris karena nilai rata-rata TOEFL ITP lulusan untuk semua tahun adalah 457. Dari 944 lulusan, angkatan 2001 sampai 2013, hanya ada 2 persen saja yang bisa meraih nilai TOEFL ITP 550 atau lebih. Temuan penelitian ini akan sangat bermanfaat bagi pemangku kepentingan dan universitas lain untuk merenungkan persiapan mereka untuk menghasilkan lulusan yang kompeten dalam bahasa Inggris.How to Cite: Silalahi, R.

Export of SMEs after the crisis in three European peripheral regions – A literature review
Authors: Éltető Andrea
Published: November 2018

After the serious effects of the international crisis of 2008 export activity – as a main form of internationalisation – proved to be an important element of survival and growth for small and medium sized enterprises. Recovery was especially difficult for the so-called peripheral countries, among them the Iberian, Baltic and Visegrád economies, on which this article concentrates. The observed period is between 2008 and 2016. First, a brief theoretical overview is given on SME internationalisation. Second, a literature review focuses on the export enhancing factors based on existing enterprise surveys and studies prepared after the crisis. These show that peripheral area SMEs are already similar to others regarding these stimuli, manager attitude and innovation being the most important ones. Third, statistical data are analysed to assess the significance of SMEs in employment, value added and exports. In this respect, SMEs and their pace of recovery are somewhat different in the three regions but not so distinct from the core countries. Finally, it is shown that in the post-crisis period, two main changes can be perceived: the temporary shift of exports towards non-EU markets and structural rearrangements in exporting enterprises.

Urban Sound Studies

Цель данной статьи — проследить историю становления саунд-стадиз и эксплицировать их связь с исследованиями города и градостроительными практиками. Менее чем за полвека своего существования исследования звука прошли через докритическую и критическую стадии развития и оформились в постдисциплинарное исследовательское направление «саунд-стадиз». Изначально укорененные в городской проблематике исследования звука могут рассматриваться как своего рода альтернативная (невизуальная) ветвь городских исследований. Поэтому сегодня саунд-стадиз представляют собой ресурс для преодоления ограничений визуальной культуры. Ресурс, пренебрегать которым в контексте актуальных тенденций и международной повестки городских исследований было бы слишком недальновидно.
