Authors: Barrezueta-Unda Salomon , Velepucha-Cuenca Kelvin , Solano Mayra , Hurtado-Flores Luis
Published: April 2021

El suelo es el recurso natural más vulnerable frente al cambio climático, debido a que constituye la mayor reserva de carbono y su potencial productivo se encuentra amenazado por la intensificación de la explotación agrícola y ganadera. La capacidad de almacenar carbono orgánico del suelo (COS) por los pastizales debe ser estudiada, ya que ocupan la mayor superficie en el planeta. El objetivo de la investigación fue caracterizar dos suelos cultivados con pasto Bachearía sp. mediante la descripción de algunas propiedades generales del suelo y la producción de biomasa neta (PNB) a nivel radicular; además, se analizó el almacenamiento de COS a diferentes profundidades en pastizales de la provincia de El Oro (Ecuador). Se establecieron parcelas de 3.0 ha en las localidades Santa Inés (SI) y Comuna Cune (CN), donde se tomaron muestras de suelo y de biomasa radicular del pasto. La profundidad del muestreo fue de 0-0.10 m (C1), 0.10-0.20 m (C2) y 0.20-0.30 m (C3). Las diferencias se mostraron en el pH del suelo (alcalinidad para SI; acidez para CN), y en los porcentajes de arcilla (<157.11 g kg-1 en CN). Se determinó mayor número de unidades formadoras de colonias en bacterias y de PNB en CN, así como la mayor acumulación de COS (C3= 35.01 Mg ha-1; C2=33.44 Mg ha-1), mientras en SI el mayor valor fue de 18.43 Mg ha-1 en C1. En general, los resultados sugieren que se necesita un adecuado conocimiento de la geología para limitar mejor la evolución del COS almacenado.

Published: April 2021

La madera de la Teca se caracteriza por su alta resistencia a microorganismos e insectos, característica atribuida a su composición química que hace que su cultivo, desarrollo y explotación incremente constantemente generando residuos que no son tratados adecuadamente, por tal motivo se planteó evaluar la actividad antimicrobiana de extractos de diferentes polaridades obtenidos de la corteza residual generada en la industria maderera de la Teca empleando el método de extracción por Soxhlet, determinando las sustancias extraíbles y sus rendimientos. El extracto etéreo presenta un rendimiento considerablemente mayor con un valor del 69.01% sugiriendo que la composición de la Teca es principalmente por compuestos apolares, incluyendo resinas y otras sustancias presentes en la corteza solubles en dicho solvente, modificando el rendimiento. Al trabajar con Cromatografía en Capa Fina (CCF), la mezcla del eluyente usado (N-butanol, ácido acético, agua 4:1:5) permitió la corrida de solutos que fueron visibles por radiación UV a 365nm, emitiendo una coloración azul fluorescente que ha sido reportada para compuestos fenólicos. En la evaluación de la actividad antimicrobiana se empleó el método de difusión de Kirby-Bauer modificado (pozos) con cada uno de los extractos, frente a los patógenos: Pseudomona aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli y Aspergillus niger.

Authors: Ardiputra Muhammad Agung
Published: April 2021

Ketidakefektifan pembinaan hukum menjadi suatu permasalahan esensial dalam pembangunan hukum, sehingga perhatian khusus dari para aparatur hukum dalam mengembangkan inovasi hukum menjadi sangat diperlukan. Dalam UU No. 17 Tahun 2007, Pembangunan hukum dimaksudkan untuk mewujudkan masyarakat yang mempunyai kesadaran dan budaya hukum yang tinggi. Sehingga, pola pembinaan hukum harus berorientasi pada terciptanya kesadaran dan budaya hukum untuk mendorong pemerataan kompetensi ilmu hukum di masyarakat dan mendukung pengembangan sistem hukum nasional. Untuk memperoleh data dan informasi, penelitian ini dilakukan dengan melalui studi kepustakaan dan lapangan. Perubahan angka kriminal dalam kehidupan masyarakat serta perubahan persentase jumlah tahanan/narapidana memberikan gambaran tingkat keefektivitasan pembinaan hukum yang selama ini telah dijalankan. Negara Indonesia sebagai negara hukum yang menghadapi berbagai tantangan dalam melakukan supremasi hukum membuat para aparatur hukum perlu menyusun langkah-langkah baru yang semakin mendukung dan menguatkan pelaksanaan program pembangunan hukum. Salah satunya melalui pembinaan hukum untuk melahirkan budaya hukum. Melihat pada aspek empirisnya, selama ini pembinaan hukum hanya berfokus pada kegiatan pelaksanaannya tanpa memperhatikan kualitas dan efektivitas outputnya. Sehingga, pemerintah dan seluruh elemen masyarakat perlu mendukung program pembinaan hukum yang menumbuhkembangkan inovasi hukum dan langkah-langkah baru dalam mewujudkan pembinaan hukum yang berkualitas tinggi dan punya efektivitas tinggi terhadap persoalan kemasyarakatan, kebangsaan dan kenegaraan.

Implementation of Circular Business Models in Construction and Demolition Waste Management of India
Authors: Jaya Surya R  , Dr. Kranti Kumar M
Published: April 2021

In the world, around 30% of the total solid waste is construction and demolition waste. In India, as per the building material promotion council, 150 million tonnes of C&D waste is generated every year. In the total C&D waste, only one percent which is 6500 tonnes per day is recycled, mentioned in the report released by the Centre for science and environment, New Delhi. There is a rising gap between increasing demand and limited sources in the construction sector of India. It leads to market instability and environmental harm. Linear business model is most commonly used in present times. It is one of the main reasons for the increase of C&D wastes. This linear approach (source-commodity-waste) encourages the one-use of products. It leads to excessive dumping of C&D wastes in landfills, which is not a sustainable practice. Circular business models leads to closed-loop approach (source-commodity-waste-new source). The adoption of circular business models in C&D waste management is the possible solution for the decreasing resources. This study aims to discuss the implementation of various approaches including conceptual models, methods, and tools of circular business models in the C&D waste management in India, which leads to the circular economy and sustainable development. Through the study of recent literature sources, various data related to circular business models, circular economy are collected. Data analysis will be done using the literature review. This research will highlight the socio-economic, environmental benefits, improvements, and the applicability of circular business models in the C&D waste management of India. This paper is concluded that framing strict circular economy policies for India would encourage the implementation of CBM in C&D waste management which reduces the need for fresh resources and ensures sustainable development.

Inspire Intrapreneurship through Management Support - The New Competitive Edge
Authors: Rochelle Anushini Bartholomeusz
Published: April 2021

In the contemporary business world, innovation is more critical than ever. Unlike before, every organization is aware of the significance of innovation in gaining and sustaining competitive advantage over rivals. However, organizations can be more innovative just by triggering and uplifting the intrapreneurial spirit of the employees with the management support. But currently the policies, structures and systems which are developed by the management of the organization tend to isolate innovative and creative employees by demoralizing them from sharing valuable novel insights. There are certain instances where the management agrees with the new idea but later on they encourage employees to continue their work in the traditional way as they are reluctant to move away from their comfort zones. However, there is scant number of evidences from Sri Lankan context. Therefore, the objective of the study is to assess the impact of management support on intrapreneurship with special reference to apparel industry in Sri Lanka. With a standard questionnaire, responses were obtained from 240 non-executive employees from three leading apparel sector organizations in Sri Lanka. Results of regression analysis proved that managerial support significantly impacts on intrapreneurship and as a percentage it is 53.2%. Even in reality, intrapreneurs cannot recognize, nurture or inspire without the support of the management. Hence, management of the organization needs to create a better atmosphere not just to create intrapreneurs but also to recognize and encourage such intrapreneurial employees at workplace.

Saint Petersburg Experience of Participatory Budgeting
Authors: Lukyanova Natalia G.
Published: April 2021

The article is devoted to summarizing the experience of implementing participatory budgeting practices
in Saint Petersburg over a five-year period as well as the role and forms of citizen involvement in
budget decision-making. An innovative form of public discussion, through the participation of citizens
in the work of the budget commission, allowed one not only to attract a significant number of citizens
to solve the problems of the metropolis, but also to increase the efficiency of budget fund spending.
Special attention is paid to the testing of a new type of public participation in the development of
the urban environment, namely participatory design, one of the effects of which is the possibility
of attracting extra-budgetary sources of funding. The practice of participatory design is already in
demand among potential investors and has shown good results in projects aimed at the development
and improvement of newly built-up areas.
School participatory budgeting practices were successful as well, in which high school students were
asked to work out projects not only for the development of school infrastructure, but also that of
the territory of Saint Petersburg’s districts. The experience gained allowed us to identify the main
disadvantages and advantages of different practices, which will be taken into account when scaling
them.

Published: April 2021

Due to the increasing population in the metropolitans, the construction of the high-rise buildings and shopping malls etc. has rapidly increased for last three decades. Therefore, especially in the city centers, the area of the construction sites has become very limited. Moreover, the requirements such as high bearing capacity of the soils beneath the skyscrapers and the parking area for the vehicles makes the application of the deep excavations essential. It is well-known that designing both safe and economical retaining structures in cohessionless soils such as sands and gravels or silty-clayey mixtures of them is still a challenging issue in geotechnical engineering discipline. Under that circumstances, the construction of two types of the retaining structures frequently comes into the minds: cantilever piles and well foundations. These retaining systems should be designed not only to be resist against failure but also to meet safety requirements for existing buildings and infrastructures near the site until the active forces, which are induced by the soil mass, are supported by the structural elements of the superstructures. In addition to this, the horizontal deformations along the retaining structures should be less than the limits defined by the specifications and the structural codes. In this study, the performances and costs of the both cantilever piles and well foundations in different excavation heights are compared parametrically. For this purpose, a benchmark sandy soil profile given in the literature and the retaining systems are modeled in 2D by using finite elements method. Furthermore, in order to determine the internal forces based reinforced concrete design and the unit costs; a well-known commercial software is used. The promising results of this study could guide to the design engineers in practice for selecting safer and more economical systems within engineering judgment.
Exercise Training for Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (ExTraMATCH III): Protocol for an Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis
Authors: Smart Neil A. , Pearson Melissa J. , Taylor Rod S. , Cleland John
Published: April 2021

Background:

We will undertake an individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis to assess the impact of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) on mortality and hospitalization and quality of life of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation according to patient characteristics: age, sex, ethnicity, New York Heart Association functional class, ischemic etiology, ejection fraction, and exercise capacity. Despite emerging evidence supporting exercise training in HFpEF, uncertainties remain in the interpretation and understanding of this evidence base. Clinicians and health care providers seek definitive estimates of impact on mortality, hospitalization and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This work is, therefore, important as HFpEF treatment options are evolving; however, efficacy of some medications is equivocal, so optimizing exercise rehabilitation is vital.

Methods:

We conducted a systematic search to identify randomized trials of exercise training for at least 3 weeks compared with no exercise control with 6-month follow up or longer, providing IPD time to event on mortality or hospitalization (all-cause or heart failure-specific). IPD will be combined into a single dataset. We will use Cox proportional hazards models to investigate the effect of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation and the interactions between exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation and participant characteristics. We will use a mix of one-stage and two-stage models. Original IPD will be requested from the authors of all eligible trials; we will check original data and compile a master dataset. IPD meta-analyses will be conducted using a one-step approach where the IPD from all studies are modeled simultaneously while accounting for the clustering of participants with studies.

Results:

We expect our analyses to show improved mortality, hospitalization, cardiorespiratory fitness, and health-related quality of life.

Conclusion:

This work will clarify exercise-based rehabilitation delivery methods to optimize benefits for people with HFpEF.

Ada beberapa Pengertian Sejarah Menurut Para Ahli. Sejarah, babad, hikayat, riwayat, atau tambo dalam bahasa Indonesia dapat diartikan sebagai kejadian dan peristiwa yang benar-benar terjadi pada masa lampau atau asal-usul (keturunan) silsilah, terutama bagi raja-raja yang memerintah. Adapun ilmu sejarah adalah ilmu yang digunakan untuk mempelajari peristiwa penting masa lalu manusia. Pengetahuan sejarah meliputi pengetahuan akan kejadian-kejadian yang sudah lampau serta pengetahuan akan cara berpikir secara historis. Orang yang mengkhususkan diri mempelajari sejarah atau ahli sejarah disebut sejarawan. Kata sejarah berasal dari bahasa Arab yaitu Syajarotun yang berarti pohon kayu. Pohon dalam pengertian ini merupakan suatu simbol yaitu simbol kehidupan. Di dalam pohon terdapat bagian-bagian seperti batang, ranting, daun, akar, dan buah. Bagian-bagian dari pohon itu menunjukkan adanya aspek-aspek kehidupan yang satu sama lain saling berhubungan untuk membentuk sesuatu itu menjadi hidup.

Secara hakikatnya nasionalisme itu sendiri tiada lain kecuali bersumber dari sejarah. Manusia berperan dalam sejarah, bahkan juga sebagai pembuat sejarah itu sendiri, hal ini karena manusia lah yang membuat pengalaman menjadi sejarah. Manusia juga adalah penutur sejarah yaitu pelaku yang membuat cerita sejarah atau sumber sejarah. Dan yang penting untuk dipahami adalah bahwa kisah manusia dibatasi oleh waktu, ruang dan tempat manusia itu berada.
Differential expression of IGF1 in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2021

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding the insulin-like growth factor 1, IGF1, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. IGF1 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of IGF1 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal A and luminal B cancers, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by molecular subtype. IGF1 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Selection Protocol for Replication in Sports and Exercise Science
Authors: Murphy Jennifer , Mesquida Cristian , Caldwell Aaron R , Earp Brian D. , Warne Joe
Published: April 2021

Introduction: To improve the rigor of science, experimental evidence for scientific claims ideally needs to be replicated repeatedly with sufficiently similar procedures to increase the collective confidence in the veracity of those claims. Large replication projects in psychology, cancer biology and social science have evaluated the replicability of their fields but no collaborative effort has been undertaken in sports and exercise science. We propose to undertake such an effort here. As this is the first large replication project in this field, there is no agreed-upon protocol for selecting studies to replicate. Criticism of the previous selection protocols include claims they were non-randomized and non-representative, and alleged to be biased. Any selection protocol in sports and exercise science must be unbiased and representative to provide an accurate estimate of replicability of the field. The aim of this document is to produce a protocol for selecting studies to replicate for inclusion in a large replication project in sports and exercise science. Methods: The proposed selection protocol uses multiple inclusion and exclusion criteria for replication study selection, including: the year of publication and citation rankings, research disciplines, study types, the research question and key dependent variable, study methods and feasibility. Studies selected for replication will be stratified into pools based on instrumentation and expertise required and will then be allocated to volunteer laboratories for replication. Replication outcomes will be assessed using a multiple inferential strategy and descriptive information will be reported regarding the final number of included and excluded studies, and original author contact.
Forms of explanation and understanding for neuroscience and artificial intelligence
Authors: Thompson Jessica Anne Farrell
Published: April 2021

Much of the controversy evoked by the use of deep neural networks as models of biological neural systems amount to debates over what constitutes scientific progress in neuroscience. In order to discuss what constitutes scientific progress, one must have a goal in mind (progress towards what?). One such long term goal is to produce scientific explanations of intelligent capacities (e.g., object recognition, relational reasoning). I argue that the most pressing philosophical questions at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence are ultimately concerned with defining the phenomena to be explained and with what constitute valid explanations of such phenomena. I propose that a foundation in the philosophy of scientific explanation and understanding can scaffold future discussions about how an integrated science of intelligence might progress. Towards this vision, I review relevant theories of scientific explanation and discuss strategies for unifying the scientific goals of neuroscience and AI.

Authors: Creaven Ann-Marie , Button Katherine Susan , Woods Heather , Nordmann Emily
Published: April 2021

Introduction: The undergraduate research dissertation in psychology is the capstone demonstration of research skills including project planning and design, considering and resolving ethical issues, and the analysis and dissemination of findings. The dissertation can simultaneously represent an opportunity for learning and an opportunity to contribute to the research literature in the student’s chosen area. Statement of the Problem: There has been little consideration of how the pedagogical and research benefits of the dissertation may be simultaneously supported. Literature Review: We review the literature on undergraduate psychology research. Teaching Implications: We outline a range of potential dissertation models using secondary or existing data and team science approaches and describe the benefits for learning and for research, of each. Conclusions: Using existing data and/or adopting a team science approach are viable strategies to enhance the contribution of student research to the literature base and have pedagogical benefits for students.
Keeping one’s distance: Mask wearing is implicitly associated with psychological distance
Authors: Fatfouta Ramzi , Trope Yaacov
Published: April 2021

Mask wearing plays a vital role in the fight against the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Despite its ubiquity in everyday social life, it is still unknown how masked faces are mentally represented. Drawing on construal level theory, we test the hypothesis that masked faces and unmasked faces are implicitly associated with psychological distance and proximity in memory, respectively. Four fully preregistered, high-powered experiments (N = 354 adults) using the Implicit Association Test lend convergent support to this hypothesis across all four dimensions of psychological distance: Social distance, spatial distance, temporal distance, and hypothetical distance. A mini meta-analysis validates the reliability of the findings (Hedge’s g = 0.46). The present work provides novel and valuable evidence on the psychological effects of mask wearing, which will be crucial for ongoing political debates and public-health efforts regarding this public health measure.
