This dedication activity was based on requests from the management of the Ar-Rusydiny Segaet Islamic boarding school and the people of Wakan village, Jerowaru sub-district, East Lombok regency to get guidance on poultry raising and processing of poultry manure waste, which is one of the activities in the boarding school. The activity involved the community and students of Islamic boarding schools in the village of Wakan. Activities include counseling on poultry farming and poultry farm waste processing in the form of hongkong caterpillar cultivation using poultry droppings. The method used is a participatory method, counseling, and waste treatment practices with various alternative treatment processes. The target to be achieved from this activity is the community and boarding school students motivated to conduct poultry farming and poultry farm waste processing business, and make it one of the leading programs in boarding schools. Based on the results of the community service activities, various problems were found, namely the ignorance of the community in processing poultry, cow, and goat manure waste which is often complained of by the community. The Wakan village community and the management of the Ar-Rusydiny Segaet boarding school do not know how to handle livestock waste. Wakan villagers enthusiastically participated in counseling and practices of sewage treatment, as evidenced by the number of participants who took part, 37 people and during the active discussion session, as well as the emergence of community commitment to process waste into useful products.

Authors: Krause Martin
Published: July 2020

A recente crise gerada pela pandemia do Covid-19 gerou muitas preocupações imediatas, além de incerteza no que tange aos efeitos sociais que possa ter no futuro. Haverá uma mudança institucional em nossas sociedades? Em que direção: para um maior grau de liberdade ou maior avanço do papel do Estado? Neste artigo, buscaremos analisar como essa mudança institucional é produzida, centrando nossa atenção no papel exercido pelas ideias e valores que predominam na sociedade e como esses evoluem. Particularmente,consideraremos o papel das ideias utilizando como marco de comparação um mercado, no qual encontramos demandantes e ofertantes, destacando o papel que os empreendedores ocupam. Também veremos o que ocorre quando uma crise se desencadeia e em que medida impacta, tanto o tamanho de mercado, como a direção futura que a sociedade possa seguir. Na atualidade, é muito cedo para dizer para onde se inclinará o mercado das ideias depois da pandemia, mas analisaremos qual pode ser o impacto da crise, das possíveis soluções, seus resultados e o efeito sobre as ideias predominantes.

Published: July 2020

Trotoar adalah salah satu prasarana yang penting guna menunjang perkembangan dan efektivitas segala kegiatan pada skala kawasan. Keberadaan trotoar memiliki fungsi utama yakni mewadahi aktivitas berjalan kaki manusia, dengan tidak melupakan fungsi tambahan sebagai penghubung elemen transportasi perkotaan. Akan tetapi pada kenyataannya trotoar memiliki fungsi ganda, selain untuk berjalan kaki dimanfaatkan juga untuk sarana berdagang PKL (pedagang kaki lima). Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk mengungkap keterkaitan antara persepsi atribut yang ditunjukkan dengan bagaimana para PKL berperilaku, dengan latar seting trotoar koridor jalan Pandanaran Semarang. Terdapat dugaan bahwa objek street furniture memiliki kekuatan properti yang mampu mewadahi tuntutan atribut para PKL. Untuk menjawab dugaan tersebut digunakanlah kuesioner tertutup dan metode Person Centered Mapping untuk memperoleh data statistik maupun data gambar rekaman perilaku PKL dalam berdagang di trotoar. Data yang didapat kemudian dianalisis menggunakan metode analisis statistik deskriptif. Dimulai dari klasifikasi sesuai persepsi berupa minat, tujuan, dan harapan diikuti oleh atribut yang memiliki relevansi dengan seting trotoar antara lain visibilitas, aksesibilitas, keamanan, dan adaptabilitas.

Authors: Andrian David , Irawati Desrina Yusi
Published: July 2020

Penggunaan Â polimer, koagulan, alum, dan gas klorin pada proses penjernihan air akan mengakibatkan dampak lingkungan. Pendekatan yang dapat digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisa dampak lingkungan adalah dengan metode Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). LCAÂ  terdiri dari empat tahapan utama, yaitu goal and scope, Life Cycle Inventory (LCI), Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA), dan Interpretation. Berdasarkan proses software SimaPro 7 metode Impact 2002+, bagian dalam proses pengolahan air yang menimbulkan dampak lingkungan paling besar adalah penggunaan natural gas. Penggunaan natural gas atau listrik per 1 kg air menyebabkan dampak lingkungan non-renewable energy sebesar 5,55E-9 Pt dan pemanasan global sebesar 4,66E-9 Pt. Penggunaan natural gas yang menyebabkan dampak non-renewable energy adalah ketersediaan gas (6E-9 Pt), minyak (7,66E-10 Pt), dan uranium (3,52E-10 Pt) pada tanah semakin berkurang. Penggunaan natural gas yang menyebabkan dampak pemanasan global adalah carbon dioxide hasil pembakaran bahan bakar fosil (5,46E-9 Pt). Besarnya penggunaan listrik pada proses pengolahan air bersih di IPAM disebabkan jarak pengambilan air cukup jauh dan peralatan yang sudah tua.Kata kunci: air, Instalasi Pengolahan Air Minum, Life Cycle Assessment

Preprint: Eating like family and friends: the role of perceived descriptive and injunctive norms on the frequency of meat and plant-based meal intake in UK-based adults
Authors: Sharps Maxine , Fallon Vicky , Ryan Sean , Coulthard Helen
Published: July 2020

People’s perceptions of the food intake of people in their social environment have been shown to be associated with their own intake of a variety of foods. However, less is known about whether people’s perceptions of the meat and plant-based meal intake and approval of people in their social environment are associated with their own intake. Using a cross-sectional survey design 137 participants (aged 19-66 years, mean age = 39.50, SD = 12.89 years, mean BMI = 25.71, SD = 5.33, 80.3% female, 78.8% omnivores, 21.2% flexitarians) answered questions about how frequently they consumed meat and plant-based meals, and how frequently they perceived people in their social environment to consume (perceived descriptive norms), and approve of consuming (perceived injunctive norms) meat and plant-based meals. The results showed that perceived descriptive norms were positively associated with people’s own frequency of meat and plant-based meal intake. In particular, people ate meat more frequently when they perceived people in their home environment to frequently eat meat, and people ate plant-based meals more frequently when they perceived people in their home environment and their friends to frequently eat plant-based meals. Furthermore, perceived injunctive norms were positively associated with meat, and negatively associated with plant-based meal intake. In particular, the perception that friends approved of frequent meat intake was positively associated with people’s own frequency of meat intake. Thus, perceived descriptive and injunctive norms may be an important influence on meat and plant-based meal intake, and people in the home environment, and friends may be particularly important social influences.
From virtue epistemology to abilism: theoretical and empirical developments
Authors: Turri John
Published: July 2020

I review several theoretical and empirical developments relevant to assessing contemporary virtue epistemology’s theory of knowledge. What emerges is a leaner theory of knowledge that is more empirically adequate, better captures the ordinary conception of knowledge, and is ripe for cross-fertilization with cognitive science. I call this view abilism. Along the way I identify several topics for future research.

I respond to John Greco’s argument that all forms of internalism in epistemology are either false or uninteresting. The paper divides into two sections. First, I explain precisely what internalists and externalists in epistemology disagree over. This puts us in a position to assess whether Greco’s argument succeeds. Second, I present Greco’s argument and offer two objections.
THE EMERGING ILLNESS, NOVEL CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019: IS THE EARTH FIGHTING BACK MAN'S UNSUSTAINABLE OCCUPATION?
Authors: Jaja Promise Tamunoipiriala
Published: July 2020

Introduction: SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 are zoonotic spillovers; with viral recombination, epithelial affectation and poor immunological memory hampering antiviral treatment and vaccination. The theoretical poor infectivity except in the 'super-spread', may have reduced global preparedness. Objectives: This study examined the evidence supporting the role of biodiversity loss on zoonotic emerging illnesses like SARS-CoV-2.Study design: Narrative literature review.Methods: A search-engine search done using keywords (zoonosis, biodiversity loss, species dilution, climate change) yielded the studies for the qualitative synthesis.Results: Mans' activities (non-renewable energy utilization, elaboration of green-house-gases, land-use changes, habitat transformation, species overexploitation) are linked to biodiversity loss. The ecosystems have become modified with loss of 'species-dilution', with increased zoonotic spillovers; thus the emergence of previously animal diseases in man, like the SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 from bat coronaviruses.Conclusion: The tackling these emerging challenges should include enforcing climate change mitigation and adaptation alongside curbing other causes of biodiversity loss.
3 Bit Synchronous Up Counter
Authors: Nayak Nikhil Ranjan , Swain Baibhab , Parida Pratyush Kumar , Binay Sonu
Published: July 2020

Electronic counters are of two types: Asynchronous and Synchronous. Here we will work on Synchronous counter. Synchronous counters use a common clock and logic between the flip-flops to encode the count sequence. Asynchronous counters are simpler because they do not require logic gates, but any latency will scale linearly with respect to the number of bits. Synchronous architecture is preferable. If the application is not sensitive to false errors produced by latency, however, an asynchronous counter alone or with overclocking (in the event that cumulative latency is greater than the cycle time) may be feasible. Alternatively, filters, such as a strobing circuit, can be used to remove erroneous outputs caused by latency from the output.
The transcription elongation factor A like 7 (TCEAL7) is differentially expressed in high-grade serous ovarian cancers and its expression associates with patient survival.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: July 2020

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We sought to identify genes associated with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) by comparing global gene expression profiles of normal ovary with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with HGSC using published microarray data (2, 3). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding the transcription elongation factor A like 7 (TCEAL7) in high-grade serous ovarian tumors, and TCEAL7 expression associated with progression-free survival in patients with HGSC.
Actionability Judgments Cause Knowledge Judgments
Authors: Turri John , Buckwalter Wesley , Rose David
Published: July 2020

Researchers recently demonstrated a strong direct relationship between judgments about what a person knows (“knowledge judgments”) and judgments about how a person should act (“actionability judgments”). But it remains unknown whether actionability judgments cause knowledge judgments, or knowledge judgments cause actionability judgments. This paper uses causal modeling to help answer this question. Across two experiments, we found evidence that actionability judgments cause knowledge judgments.

Refutation by Elimination
Authors: Turri John
Published: July 2020

This paper refutes two important and influential views in one fell stroke. The first is G.E. Moore’s view that assertions of the form ‘Q but I don’t believe that Q’ are inherently “absurd.” The second is Gareth Evans’s view that justification to assert Q entails justification to assert that you believe Q. Both views run aground the possibility of being justified in accepting eliminativism about belief.
Break on Through: An Analysis of Computer Damage Cases
Authors: Vasiu Ioana , Vasiu Lucian
Published: July 2020

14 Pittsburgh Journal of Technology Law & Policy 158 (2014). This article is an extensive inquiry into computer damage cases based on the comprehensive study of over three hundred cases brought to courts in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(5). Based on an empirical categorization of the essential aspects of computer damage cases, the article analyzes the most relevant issues, interpretations, and arguments available for each computer damage category. These categories include fundamental facets, such as legal elements; motive and intent; results; profile of perpetrators; and means of perpetration, including, if applicable, the software involved.Part I concerns theoretical aspects and discusses the legal elements of computer damage offenses under the CFAA. Part II considers the practical aspects and discusses the essential features involved in the perpetration of these offenses and the profile of attackers. Finally, Part III provides a summary of findings and the implications of this study for stakeholders.This article makes two important contributions: a comprehensive analysis and a conceptual approach for this area. The findings will improve the investigation, prosecution and litigation of such cases in courts, help organizations in their process of identification and mitigation of risks, and stimulate more research in this area. Finally, although this article focused exclusively on one jurisdiction, the findings can be of interest to a wider, global context.
Hoekstra & Vazire (2020), Aspiring to greater intellectual humility in science
Authors: Hoekstra Rink , Vazire Simine
Published: July 2020

The replication crisis in the social, behavioural, and life sciences has spurred a reform movement aimed at increasing the credibility of scientific studies. Many of these credibility-enhancing reforms focus, appropriately, on specific research and publication practices. A less often mentioned aspect of credibility is the need for intellectual humility, or being transparent about and owning the limitations of our work. Although intellectual humility is presented as a widely accepted scientific norm, we argue that current research practice does not incentivize intellectual humility. We provide a set of recommendations on how to increase intellectual humility in research articles and highlight the central role peer reviewers can play in incentivizing authors to foreground the flaws and uncertainty in their work, thus enabling full and transparent evaluation of the validity of research.
Prescribing measures: Unintended negative consequences of mandating standardized mental health measurement
Authors: Patalay Praveetha , Fried Eiko I
Published: July 2020

In July 2020, two of the largest funders of mental health research worldwide — the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the Wellcome Trust — announced plans to standardize mental health measurement. Specifically, obtaining funding for research related to depression and anxiety will be conditional on using four specific measures.While we agree that there are obvious benefits to standardizing mental health measurement, some of which are discussed in the announcement by NIMH and Wellcome, in this paper we focus on potential unintended negative consequences of this initiative, and lay out recommendations for how some of these might be mitigated.
Belief in COVID-19 Conspiracy Theories Reduces Social Distancing over Time
Authors: Bierwiaczonek Kinga , Kunst Jonas R. , Pich Olivia
Published: July 2020

Background Conspiracy theories about the origins of COVID-19 are wide-spread and have even been propagated by highly ranked state officials and politicians in the U.S. Health authorities have cautioned that such theories, although not questioning the existence of the pandemic, may increase the spread of the virus by reducing people’s efforts to socially distance. Methods We test this proposition empirically using longitudinal survey data collected at five time points during the early outbreak of the virus in the U.S. (N = 403). ResultsMultivariate growth curve analyses showed that, although conspiracy beliefs decreased and social distancing increased over time, people holding more conspiracy beliefs at the beginning of the pandemic showed the lowest increase in social distancing. Moreover, cross-lagged analyses demonstrated that people who reported more conspiracy beliefs at any wave tended to report less social distancing at the following wave. ConclusionsOur findings show that COVID-19 conspiracy theories pose a significant threat to public health as they may reduce adherence to social distancing measures.Keywords Conspiracy theories, COVID-19, social distancing, longitudinal
The predicting abilities of social trust and good governance on economic crisis duration
Authors: Nguyen Jessica , Dinh Tue , Selart Marcus
Published: July 2020

In this paper, we uncover the relationships among social trust, corruption and the duration of economic crises. Our theoretical foundation is based on a collection of studies from different academic fields, especially political science, sociology and economics. We corroborate our arguments with both descriptive analysis and regression analysis of secondary data. Our dataset includes 11,364 observations distributed across 211 countries. The quantitative findings show that social trust is correlated with the duration of economic crises. Connecting our theoretical stance with the empirical evidence, we propose several possible explanations for the findings and provide both theoretical and practical implications.

Diverging Disparities: Race, Parental Income, and Children's Math Scores, 1960-2009
Authors: Conwell Jordan A.
Published: July 2020

In recent decades, the Black-White test score disparity has decreased, while the test score disparity between children of high- versus low-income parents has increased. This study focuses on a comparison that has, to date, fallen between the separate literatures on these diverging trends – Black and White students whose parents have similarly low, middle, or high incomes (i.e., same-income or race-within-income). To do so, I draw on three nationally representative datasets on ninth or tenth graders, covering the period from 1960 to 2009, all of which contain information on students’ math test scores. I find that math test score disparities between Black and White students with same-income parents are to Blacks’ disadvantage. Although these disparities have decreased since 1960, in 2009, they remain substantively large, statistically significant, and largest between children of the highest income parents. Further, family and school characteristics that scholars commonly use to explain test score disparities by race or by income have accounted for markedly decreasing shares of race-within-income disparities over time. The study integrates the literatures on test score disparities by race and by income with needed attention to race’s historical and continued structural influence, net of parental income, on students’ educational experiences and test score outcomes.

Published: July 2020

Rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) are commonly found to inhabit various religious sites and cities in Nepal. Similar to other nonhuman primates, they are also the natural or reservoir host of several gut parasites. However, the status of gut parasitism, particularly in the urban dweller macaques, remains largely unexplored in the country. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and diversity of gut parasites in the monkeys inhabiting Bajrabarahee, an urban temple area in Lalitpur District, Nepal. A total of 42 fresh fecal samples of macaques belonging to five different troops, were collected and preserved in 2.5% (w/v) potassium dichromate solution. The fecal samples were processed by direct wet mount, concentration, and acid-fast techniques and examined under an optical microscope. All the fecal samples were positive with gut parasites. The parasites detected were Ascarid spp., Balantidium coli, Cryptosporidium sp., Eimeria sp., Entamoeba coli, Entamoeba spp., Giardia sp., hookworm, Strongyloides sp., Strongylid spp., Trichomonas sp., and Trichuris sp. Cent percent prevalence rate and high species richness with 12 parasites may indicate that they have impact on the gut health of these monkeys. This suggests the need of deworming the macaque population and enhancing public awareness for pro-active control of parasitic infection as well as of adopting the preventive measures to lessen the zoonotic transmission of the pathogenic parasites.
Veterinary medicine as the core of the one health approach for Nepal's preparedness to pandemics like COVID-19
Authors: Kaphle Krishna
Published: July 2020

Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is a declared pandemic of our time and mankind’s advancement in science and medicine till now have been dwarfed and proving insufficient. It looks likely that there is no other option but to live alongside this global, deadly and multifaceted virus and many more emerging and remerging diseases. This opinion piece is a summary from review of literatures and accumulated experience of the author spanning over two decades in teaching, research and clinical setting of veterinary science. The findings stresses on established fact that: Nepal is a hotspot for many zoonotic diseases that include Avian Influenza, Rabies, Japanese Encephalitis, Leptospirosis, Brucellosis, Tuberculosis, Cysticercosis and Fascioliasis. Of the 39 zoonotic diseases reported in Nepal, viral diseases (Rabies, Avian influenza, Japanese encephalitis), bacterial diseases (Leptospirosis, Salmonellosis, Brucellosis) and parasites (Cysticercosis, Hydatidosis, Toxoplasmosis) are most notable. COVID-19 is also reported in cat, mink and zoo animals and the situation gets complex when animals like humans present asymptomatic appearance. Thus, the control mechanism for COVID-19 is incomplete without inclusion of veterinary medicine. Nepal has a huge gap between human and veterinary medicine both in teaching and clinical services. Tribhuvan University’s veterinary program is historical one in Nepal and is over quarter century old. The veterinary services of Nepal are now being requested to be included as an essential service and that will add force to the One Health momentum. It is fact that humans have to live alongside evolving pathogens. Veterinary medicine as the core of One Health should be the new strategy to safeguard life and economy of any country including Nepal.

Pandemics have been occurring in the world since time immemorial. It is difficult in the case of the ancient pandemics but pandemics of later origin have conveyed some messages or the other. These are valuable lessons which should be accepted wholeheartedly for facing more competently in the following pandemics. This article deals with the pandemics that have hit the world since early times. It also portrays the situation that was prevailing in Nepal during the time of the pandemic. It has been found that Nepal did not have connectivity with the pandemics in the past. It is only in the Corona pandemic that Nepal has also been a part of the whole globe. Nepali people considered the diseases were thrown upon people by God because of the grave mistakes committed by them due to lust and greed. So, people worshipped God instead of making a scientific inquiry in this field. Even though, Ayurvedic medicines based on local herbs and the likes were produced and used in the case of the pandemics.

Sister Robots - ‘Food and Medicine Carrier Robot’ are manually controlled robots which can be used in Corona Testing Hospital where health representatives or medical professionals need to carry food and medicine from the kitchen of the hospital to the patient isolation room. Robotics Association of Nepal [RAN] along with Team Robonauts, Team Kantibir and Team Oztec have developed the different versions of Sister Robots. The first version of the Robot - Sister V.1 is now working at the provincial hospital of Province no. 3, Hetauda Hospital. The Robot was built in support of Nepal Engineers’ Association [NEA] and handed over to Honorable Chief Minister, Province No.3 Dormani Poudel. Sister V.1 can help frontline health professionals communicate with COVID-19 suspected/infected patients in the isolation room, deliver essential foods and medicines as well. Sister V.1 took 20 days for its completion. The development team further developed second version of Sister Robot [Sister V.2]. First piece of Sister V.2 has been completed and 5 more are on the verge of development. Armed Police Force [APF] Hospital has made a trial of Sister V.2. Sister V.2 has been upgraded with a double 12V 8000MAH battery system for higher power performance, dual FPV camera system for Top 90 degree rotation back view and Front 180 degree bottom view. Food and Medicine can be easily delivered and COVID-19 can sanitize their hands with automatic sanitizer as well. Phase 1 product development has been completed and Phase 2 small scale production is currently running. The phases are defined based on the upgrade of the Robots as the team believes in iteration of the robot and customization as well. Mass scale production of Sister Robots on phase 3 Version 3 [Sister V.3] will consist of different lines of Robots with different specifications. More cost effective technologies will be introduced and automation will be a priority of Robot development. Research Center for Applied Science and Technology (RECAST) and Sagarmatha Engineering College collaborated with RAN for 6 more robots to develop financially. Phase 3 focuses in bringing Sister V.3 at each and every hospital in Nepal through collaborative partnerships and safety campaigns.

Citrus essential oil, commonly, known as lime oil, has been widely reported in traditional system of medicine. Industrially, oil is isolated by mainly by hydrodistillation from fruit and peel of Citrus aurantifolia, family, Rutaceae. Cultivation practice of citrus plants dates back for over 4000 years and are one of most valuable fruit crops in the world. In this review, we aim to summarise the phytochemical and biological properties of citrus oil. The literature was collected from various online resources such as e journals, books and magazines. The citrus essential oil is globally used in food industry to impart citric flavour and odour to cuisines. Llime juice and oil is known to possess multiple biological properties including anti-cancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiulcer, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, antityphoid and hepatoprotective properties. Due to potent antibacterial and antifungal properties, citrus oil is becoming important component of skin care products. The medicinal importance of plant is due to presence of various secondary metabolites, alkaloids, carotenoids, coumarins, essential oils, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and triterpenoids. The citrus oil is rich in aromatic compounds namely, monoterpenes and their derivatives, aldehydes, ketones, esters, alcohols such as limonene (58.4%), β-pinene (15.4%), γ-terpinene (8.5%), citral (4.4%) and others. The bitter taste and aroma of citrus fruit peels is attributed to limonoids. p-caryophyllene constitute 5.7% of all the sesquiterpenes. On the basis of the available information, we conclude that citrus oil possess huge potential to be developed into pharmaceutical products.

O câncer de pele é a neoplasia mais frequente no Brasil e o principal agente causal é a radiação ultravioleta (UV) proveniente do sol. A recomendação mais aceita, para a prevenção, é a diminuição da exposição ao sol e o uso de protetores solares, tanto físicos quanto químicos. Com objetivo de reduzir a incidência da doença e demostrar que a prevenção é mais econômica do que o tratamento, deve-se apresentar informações principalmente aos grupos de risco, para maior compreensão da magnitude do problema e estimulá-las através da fotoeducação como medida efetiva de prevenção, através do controle dos fatores de risco e estímulo aos fatores protetores. Foi realizado uma revisão não sistemática da literatura e consultadas as bases de dados PubMed, Lilacs, Scielo e google acadêmico, utilizando os seguintes descritores em português e inglês: Health Education, primary prevention, skin neoplasm. Os artigos selecionados foram aqueles que abordam com relevância o tema fotoeducação para prevenção ao câncer de pele. A revisão da literatura evidência um importante problema de saúde pública, que se agrava com a falta de conhecimento e informação das pessoas. Portanto, nota-se a importância da fotoeducação ao público em geral e principalmente aos grupos de riscos para prevenção e detecção precoce do câncer de pele e consequente diminuição da morbimortalidade.
