From guidelines to local realities: evaluation of oral rehydration therapy and zinc supplementation in Guatemala
Authors: Hall-Clifford Rachel , Amerson Roxanne
Published: July 2019

Objective. Diarrhea remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for children in low- and middle-income countries throughout the Americas. The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed guidelines on incorporating zinc supplementation (ZS) with traditional oral rehydration therapy (ORT) in order to shorten the duration of diarrheal episodes and to reduce poor health outcomes. Guatemala adopted these guidelines in 2011, but they have not yet been fully implemented at the community level. The objectives of this study were: (1) to co-design an ORT/ZS training program for community members with local health promoters that is appropriate to the local context and (2) to understand how attitudes and behaviors of community members changed after receiving training from the study promoters.

Methods. In an observational study, community health promoters in rural Guatemala were trained according to WHO guidelines, and they worked collaboratively with the study team to develop a training curriculum to implement in their community. Community-based surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions were used to assess acceptability, accessibility, and availability of oral rehydration therapy and zinc supplementation.

Results. Use of ORT increased from 63% to 95% among community members following training by local health promoters. Satisfaction with the service offered by health promoters increased from 63% to 90% amongst community members trained by the study promoters. However, knowledge and use of zinc supplementation remained low, which was attributable to unavailability of zinc in the study community.

Conclusions. Use of trained community health promoters is an effective way to translate WHO guidelines to local contexts and overcome sociocultural barriers to care. However, the health system’s structure must support availability of essential medicines in order to effectively implement those guidelines.
Cluster ions to preserve ready-to-eat table grape during cold storage
Authors: Chiabrando V. , Giacalone G.
Published: July 2019

The demand for natural fresh-cut products characterized by high quality has promoted the
research for non-chemical post-harvest treatments. The aim of this study was to evaluate
the effect of air purification with the ion generator Ionny®
(Fruit control Equipment, Italy)
on fresh-cut table grape quality during post-harvest storage. The air purification was the
effect of positively and negatively charged ions generated by the ion generator at
atmospheric pressure. The treatment was applied in a storage room on fresh-cut table
grape at 0°C for 21 days. Berries were analyzed for weight loss, flesh firmness, skin color,
total phenols, acidity, total soluble solids, vitamin C and total yeasts/molds. Results
showed that ions treatment positively influenced the quality maintenance of the product,
by improving color retention, limiting weight losses and preserving high phenolic content
during postharvest storage. Moreover, in cv Red Globe treated berries showed higher
soluble solids, acidity, lightness and lower firmness losses, while in cv Italia the ions
treatment limited the growth of the microorganisms.

Comparison of Corrosion Behaviors of Bare Ti and TiO2
Authors: Döner Ali
Published: July 2019

In this study, titanium (Ti) surface was anodized by applying 60 voltages for two hours to form titanium dioxide (TiO2) with anodization method. After anodization procedure, comparison of corrosion behaviors of the bare titanium and TiO2 coated titanium was examined in 1 M KOH solution by using electrochemical methods such as anodic and cathodic current-potential curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) were used to characterize bare Ti and anodically formed TiO2 surfaces. According to obtained results, Ti surface was smooth and compact. However, surface structure of TiO2 coated titanium was porous and nanotubes formed on the surface. This porous structure which has protective layer contributed to increase the corrosion resistance. Higher polarization resistance was obtained on porous TiO2 than that of bare titanium. Besides, this protective layer bore well against the alkaline corrosion during long-term immersion.

Le varietà del naturalismo
Authors: Bagnati Gaia , Cassan Melania , Morelli Alice
Published: July 2019

‘Naturalism’ is a category that applies to different philosophical perspectives sharing the idea that nature is the primary object of philosophical enquiry. However, the philosophical debate of the second half of the twentieth century, mainly within analytical philosophy, has led towards an identification of naturalism with the sole scientific naturalism. The volume contains the proceedings of a doctoral workshop, in which PhD students and professors of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne critically discussed this tendency. The contributions present some versions of naturalism, from ancient to contemporary philosophy, with the aim of showing how a naturalistic approach, together with some notions it implies (i.e. nature, habits, disposition, behaviour), may constitute valid categories of interpretation of reality out of a scientist paradigm.
Naturalismo e cosmopolitismo nell’Antichità
Authors: Morel Pierre-Marie
Published: July 2019

Cosmopolitanism in Antiquity is especially promoted by the cynics and by the stoics. The Epicurean Garden seems to adopt a very different view, according to which justice and laws depend on what is useful for a given political community at a given time. However, the epicurean Diogenes of Oinoanda (fr. 30 Smith) endorses a sort of cosmopolitanism, which contrasts, at first sight, with the traditional contractualism of his school. Nevertheless, in this paper it is argued that Diogenes’ cosmopolitanism could hardly be seen as a concession to other schools and that it is consistent with the main principles of Epicurus’ political doctrine.
Riflessioni sul concetto di natura in Lucio Anneo Seneca
Authors: Cassan Melania
Published: July 2019

The aim of this short paper is to highlight nature’s central role in the constitution and progress of human morality, by analysing nature’s multiple characters as displayed in various sections of Seneca’s work. First, the focus will extend to man’s fundamental propensity to good, which belongs to him by nature. Secondly, a virtuous and happy life will be presented as the life led according to nature. In conclusion, research on natural phenomena will be accounted for, as a building block towards moral perfection. The relationship between all the previous traits, mentioned in the cited passages, constitutes the heart of Seneca’s ethical naturalism.
Naturalisme et scepticisme
Authors: Douzant Iris
Published: July 2019

Hume is qualified as a naturalist in two respects: on the one hand, because he sets himself to observe natural phenomena and more precisely those relating to human nature; on the other hand, because nature refers to a mental activity that eludes the grasp of the thought that tries to seize it. Hume’s dealing with the issue of personal identity creates a tension between these two meanings of naturalism – the power of nature seems to escape the understanding of the philosopher who tries to give reasons for it and both sides of Humian naturalism dissociate themselves. If this tension is not positively resolved, in the opinion of Hume himself, it is reduced through the use of a radical scepticism.

PENDIDIKAN BERKESETARAAN GENDER PERSPEKTIF PEMIKIRAN MUHAMMAD ATIYYAH AL-ABRASHI
Authors: Qamariah Syarifah
Published: July 2019

This paper examines the gender equality education perspective of Muhammad Attiyah al-Abrashi's thought. Attiyah al-Abrashi is one of the leading figures in education. About twenty of his works speak of education. One interesting study described by 'Attiyah is the issue of liberty and equality education. Gender equality education in the 'Attiyah' perspective is the Islamic recognition of women's right to an unlimited education such as men. This recognition is also supported by historical facts about early educated women. There is freedom for women to learn from basic education to higher education, according to the individual interests of women. Basically the spirit of Islamic education is "freedom and democracy" that does not look at the sexes. Assuming that every human being (female / male) has the potential to be sharpened through education to be useful for building his world. In affirming the existence and role of women, 'Attiyah describes examples of women's professionalism from time to time.

O cinema realizado em Pernambuco vem afirmando

de maneira enfática sua preocupação com o espaço,

especialmente através de ficções e documentários

que elaboram as transformações na paisagem da

região e nas cidades (sobretudo o Recife). Este ensaio

pretende analisar essa relação com o espaço no

cinema contemporâneo realizado em Pernambuco a

partir de quatro filmes: Avenida Brasília Formosa

(2010), de Gabriel Mascaro, O som ao redor (2012),

de Kleber Mendonça Filho, Eles voltam (2013), de

Marcelo Lordello, e Brasil S/A (2014), de Marcelo

Pedroso. São filmes de naturezas, texturas e gêneros

distintos, mas que parecem ter em comum a produção

de imagens de transição, as quais registram a

desaparição de formas de vida, as mudanças na

paisagem e as ruínas tanto dos velhos modos de vida,

como das novidades do capitalismo predatório, que,

de certo modo, já nascem obsoletas. Um dos nossos

objetivos é também discutir qual é o papel do que

podemos chamar de “imagens de desaparição” (de

paisagens, de cidades, de pessoas, de hábitos) na

constituição e afirmação do cinema regional no Brasil.

Published: July 2019

In the study, it was aimed to
determine the boron content of the large soil groups in Siverek county of
Şanlıurfa province and to determine relations with some properties of the soil.
For this purpose, a total of 76 soil samples were taken from two different
depths (0-20 and 20-40 cm) and 38 points, representing the large soil groups of
Siverek county of Şanlıurfa. Texture, pH, salt, lime, organic matter and
available boron contents of the soils were determined in the samples. The
results of the research show that the pH contents of soils is between
6.91-7.98; salt content is between 0.02-0.13%; clay content is between
24.32-67.76%; sand content is between 2.40-62.96%; silt content is between
6.00-68.72%; lime content is between 0.38-14.55%; organic matter content is
between 1.11-3.35% and boron content of them is between 0.01-1.99 ppm. The
obtainable boron content of the large soil groups of Siverek county of
Şanlıurfa province was found to be 65.38% too little , 26.32% little, 7.90%
adequate at the depth of  0-20 cm,
whereas it was found to be 81.58%  too
little, 15.79% little and 2.63% sufficient at 20-40 cm depth. It was determined
that there is a positive significant relationship between the obtainable boron
content of soil and pH and lime contents. In addition, significant positive
relationships between pH content and silt and lime were determined. Not only a
negative significant relation between clay content and silt content of soils
was determined, but negatively significant relations between sand content and
silt and organic matter were determined, as well. At the same time, positive
correlations were determined between the lime content of the soils and the

Effects of soil and environmental factors on the site productivity of pure Oriental beech forests in Akkuş Region of Turkey
Authors: YILMAZ Murat
Published: July 2019

Oriental Beech
grows naturally in the Eastern Caucasus, Northern Iran and Crimea, from the
west of the Balkans towards Anatolia. Akkuş Region of Turkey is one of the
moist ecosystems where this tree species spread optimally. In this spread area,
the change of local site factors affect the site productivity. In this study,
the correlations between the height growth of pure Oriental beech forests
between 1200-1500 m altitudes in Akkuş region and some soil characteristics and
location factors were investigated. 40 sample plots were taken from normally
covered Oriental beech stands. In the sample plots, soil profiles  were dug and soil sampling was performed
according to genetic soil horizons. The location factors of the sample plots in
the field were determined, and d0.30 diameter, d0.30 age
and upper height were measured in 4-6 trees with upper stand height. The site
productivity (site index) was determined based on the correlation between
standard age and upper stand height. Physical and chemical soil analyses were
performed in the soil samples taken.

The correlations
between the productivity indexes (site index) of the sample plots  and the local ecological characteristics of
the site were tested by correlation analysis. Positive correlations were
determined between site index and the land slope degree and altitude. There are
negative correlations between soil properties of average amount of clay,
average amount of silt, field capacity, fine soil weight, soil reaction, and site
index, while there are positive correlations between horizon Ah's
organic matter, average amount of sand, physiological soil depth, skeleton weight
and site index.

Information Generation as a Functional Basis of Consciousness
Authors: Kanai Ryota , Chang Acer , Yu Yen , de Abril Ildefons Magrans , Biehl Martin , Guttenberg Nicholas
Published: July 2019

What is the biological advantage of having consciousness? Functions of consciousness have been elusive due to the subjective nature of consciousness and ample empirical evidence showing the presence of many nonconscious cognitive performances in the human brain. Drawing upon empirical literature, here, we propose that a core function of consciousness be the ability to internally generate representations of events possibly detached from the current sensory input. Such representations are constructed by generative models learned through sensory-motor interactions with the environment. We argue that the ability to generate information underlies a variety of cognitive functions associated with consciousness such as intention, imagination, planning, short-term memory, attention, curiosity, and creativity, all of which contribute to non-reflexive behaviour. According to this view, consciousness emerged in evolution when organisms gained the ability to perform internal simulations using internal models, which endowed them with flexible intelligent behaviour. To illustrate the notion of information generation, we take variational autoencoders (VAEs) as an analogy and show that information generation corresponds the decoding (or decompression) part of VAEs. In biological brains, we propose that information generation corresponds to top-down predictions in the predictive coding framework. This is compatible with empirical observations that recurrent feedback activations are linked with consciousness whereas feedforward processing alone seems to occur without evoking conscious experience. Taken together, the information generation hypothesis captures many aspects of existing ideas about potential functions of consciousness and provides new perspectives on the functional roles of consciousness.
Enabling and constraining successful reablement: Individual and neighbourhood factors
Authors: Jacobi Christopher Justin , Thiel Darren , Allum Nick
Published: July 2019

Using multilevel logistic regression to analyse management data of reablement episodes collected by Essex County Council, UK, from 2008-2012, this article identifies constraining and enabling factors for successful reablement. Overall, 59.5% of Essex reablement clients were classed as able to care for themselves when assessed after 13 weeks, but several social, health, referral and age-related factors were found to constrain that. However, some of the largest effects found to constrain reablement were neighbourhood deprivation and, particularly, unfavourable geodemographic profiles as measured through Mosaic consumer classifications. The results suggest that in order to optimise reablement, programmes might be better tailored and intensified for particular client groups, particularly for those displaying specific geodemographic characteristics.

Einstein 1915–1916), rather it is intended to be a complimentary extension of its work, with the purpose of extending it into quantum physics. Most notably, to relate it to quantum field theory (QFT), by quantizing the metric of space-time into a potential field theory.
Structured idiosyncrasies in vowel systems
Authors: Schwartz Jean-Luc , Lucie Ménard
Published: July 2019

We display data on structured idiosyncrasies in vowel systems in five languages. Structures in idiosyncrasies are characterized here by patterns of correlated covariations between F1 values for two vowels in a system, for a set of speakers of the corresponding language. Correlations might reflect both local constraints between close vowels in front and back series, ensuring their distinctiveness, and global stability in height series possibly related to articulatory uniformity and articulatory reuse.
Retraction data can bring more insights and implications for not just authors and their institutions, but funders, policy-makers, and editors
Authors: Vuong Quan-Hoang
Published: July 2019

Although retractions are commonly considered as negative outcomes, the fact remains that they play a positive role in the academic community, for instance, help scientific enterprise perform its self-correcting function; become lessons learned for future researchers; represent social responsibilities or let open review communities offer better "monitoring services" in keeping problematic studies in check. This study provides retraction data, which is believed to give useful insights into retraction and its powerful function. By using RetractionWatch data, a database built based on SQL Server 2016, and some home-made AI, a data set of 18,603 retractions from 1753 to 2019 February covering 127 research field was contributed. The results show a long way of retraction with the popularity of retraction practices since 1999, and the burden in 2010; IEEE, Elsevier, and Springer account for nearly 60% of all retracted papers globally with the record belongs to IEEE even though it is not the organization that publishes most journals; a paper could be retracted for diverse reasons but "fake peer review" becomes a major one.

The work of finding the best places according to user’s preferences can be a tedious task. We designed, created and tested software which can take the preferences from the user and provide the best places according to their preferences from the location with a certain radius in real time. This eliminates the extra task of researching about a place and helps the user to visualise the places according to the preferences in real time. This uses foursquare API to fetch the data for the locations. We have built a console application for this purpose and this can be transferred to web based system in future. The internet connection is a must during using of this application. The Map that is formed is visualised in a browser and can be saved for future use. We have provided certain features in the application that will improve the user’s experience.

EFFECT OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS ON STEADY PERFORMANCE OF HYDROSTATIC THRUST BEARINGS: RABINOWITSCH FLUID MODEL
Authors: Singh Udaya Pratap
Published: July 2019

Purpose of the present theoretical investigation is to analyze the effects of surface roughness on the steady-state performance of stepped circular hydrostatic thrust bearings lubricated with non-Newtonian Rabinowitsch type fluids. Results for film pressure and load-carrying capacity have been plotted and analyzed on the basis of numerical results. To take the effects of surface roughness into account, Christensen theory of rough surface has been adopted. The expression for pressure gradient has been derived by means of the energy integral approach. This approach avoids the derivation of Reynolds’ equation. The numerical results for film pressure and load capacity have been obtained using Mathematica. It was observed that in comparison with smooth surfaces, dimensionless film pressure and load capacity is lower for longitudinal roughness and higher for circular roughness patterns with and the variations are significant. Load carrying capacity decreases with the increase of longitudinal roughness and, increases with the increase of circular roughness. Further, the effects of surface roughness and non-Newtonian lubricants are significant for larger values of inertia parameter. Because of the closeness of results to the experimental values, this study will be helpful in the design of circular hydrostatic thrust bearings.
High-Resolution One-Dimensional Modeling of a Gas Turbine Combustor Using Eulerian-Lagrangian Method
Authors: Khodadadi Reza , Zamani Meymian Nima
Published: July 2019

In this paper, a dynamic combustor model for inclusion into a one-dimensional full gas turbine engine simulation model, with high numerical accuracy is developed. Effects of dominant parameters, such as frequency and amplitude of the inlet air and fuel mass flow rate fluctuations, on outlet temperature of the combustion chamber, are investigated. The main goal of this research is to analyze the response of the gas turbine combustor to dynamic events that occur in the compressor. In the present work, for modeling combustion, the equations of chemical equilibrium (a second-law concept) are developed and applied to combustion-product mixtures. Thus the heat released from combustion is computed and used as a source term in the energy equation. Ignition effects either would be considered with a time lag equation as a source term in the energy equation. The combustor flammability limits are determined by using available experimental data for various gases and also Le Chatelier’s law. Source terms of governing equations are added using the operator splitting method. To operate this, the modified version of the PPM algorithm called PPMLR is used which solves the Euler equations in Lagrangian coordinates. At the end of each time step, results calculated in the Lagrangian coordinates would remap to the original Eulerian coordinate. The results revealed that to achieve a grid-independent solution, the accuracy of 0.002 m over the length of the combustion chamber should be applied. By reducing the accuracy of simulation, numerical diffusion causes a rise in flow temperature along with the combustion chamber. Through the dynamic modeling aspect, it is found that by increasing inlet fuel flow rate frequency up to 25 Hz, the amplitude of the fluctuations of outlet temperature, increases. Further increase in frequency up to 100 Hz, the amplitude of the fluctuations remains unchanged. However further increases in frequency from 100 Hz, causes amplitudes of outlet temperature fluctuations to decrease.

Sengkarut Timah dan Gagapnya Ideologi Pancasila
Authors: Ibrahim Ibrahim
Published: July 2019

Tulisan ini mengambil objek material pertimahan di Provinsi Kepulauan Bangka Belitung, sedangkan objek formalnya adalah Pancasila. Tulisan ini setidaknya menemukan beberapa hal penting. Pertama, adalah kecenderungan pertimahan yang bercorak hegemonik dari masa ke masa dan corak kapitalistik yang tidak pernah bisa dilepaskan dari setiap aktivitas eksploitasi. Kedua, di tengah proses tersebut, masyarakat lokal cenderung hanya menerima ampas dari penambangan timah yang sebenarnya hanya memberikan keuntungan berlipat kepada para elit. Masyarakat yang berada di garda depan hanya menikmati sedikit imbas dari proses eksploitasi tersebut, padahal bahaya tinggalan berupa kerusakan lingkungan dan dekadensi moral yang diakibatkan oleh pelacuran, perjudian, miras dan kriminalitas yang mengiringi penambangan tidak bisa diselesaikan dalam waktu singkat. Ketiga, tulisan ini pada akhirnya memberikan perspektif baru dalam pengelolaan pertimahan, yaitu perspektif filsafat Pancasila yang pada dasarnya adalah kemestian dalam aktivitas ekonomi di negeri ini.

Aplikasi Model Bifaktor untuk Mengevaluasi Validitas Instrumen Pengukuran: Modul 1
Authors: Aditomo Anindito
Published: July 2019

Seri modul ini memperkenalkan model bifaktor dan kegunaannya dalam evaluasi validitas instrumen pengukuran kuantitatif dalam psikologi, pendidikan, dan ilmu-ilmu sosial lain (Morin, Arens, & Marsh, 2015). Model bifaktor sebenarnya bukan gagasan baru, namun popularitasnya di kalangan peneliti sosial mulai meningkat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Model bifaktor sudah diterapkan pada pengukuran di bidang kesehatan mental (Brouwer & Meijer, 2013; Lahey et al., 2018), kepribadian (Biderman et al., 2018), dan pendidikan (Scherer & Gustafsson, 2015; Wang, Kim, Dedrick, Ferron, & Tan, 2018). Sebagai pengantar, Modul 1 membahas model bifaktor secara konseptual.
Building Investigation, Hammer Test Report of SSB Building
Authors: Aco Wahyudi Efendi AW.Efendi Wahyudi
Published: July 2019

Hammer test yaitu suatu alat pemeriksaan mutu beton tanpa merusak beton. Disamping itu dengan menggunakan metode ini akan diperoleh cukup banyak data dalam waktu yang relatif singkat dengan biaya yang murah. Metode pengujian ini dilakukan dengan memberikan beban intact (tumbukan) pada permukaan beton dengan menggunakan suatu massa yang diaktifkan dengan menggunakan energi yang besarnya tertentu. Jarak pantulan yang timbul dari massa tersebut pada saat terjadi tumbukan dengan permukaan beton benda uji dapat memberikan indikasi kekerasan juga setelah dikalibrasi, dapat memberikan pengujian ini adalah jenis "Hammer". Alat ini sangat berguna untuk mengetahui keseragaman material beton pada struktur. Karena kesederhanaannya, pengujian dengan menggunakan alat ini sangat cepat, sehingga dapat mencakup area pengujian yang luas dalam waktu yang singkat. Alat ini sangat peka terhadap variasi yang ada pada permukaan beton, misalnya keberadaan partikel batu pada bagian-bagian tertentu dekat permukaan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pengambilan beberapa kali pengukuran disekitar setiap lokasi pengukuran, yang hasilnya kemudian dirata-ratakan British Standards (BS) mengisyaratkan pengambilan antara 9 sampai 25 kali pengukuran untuk setiap daerah pengujian seluas maksimum 300 mm2. Pada kasus kali ini, melakukan investigasi pada bagian struktur gedung kantor SSB di mana pelat lantainya mengalami lendutan sehingga membuat imbas dikala hujan air merembes dibagian yang melendut.

Abstract As a facilitator of the sports industry, Ikatan Motor Indonesia (IMI)should be supported by qualified resources so that the human resourcemanagement technique can be run properly and correctly. Based onprimary and secondary data can be focused three dominant factors thatinfluence employee performance of the Ikatan Motor Indonesia i.e. (1)Compensation, (2) Competence, (3) Talent Management. The samplingmethod used was the probability sampling. The research involved thepopulation of 85 employees, while the sample size of 70 employeeswas determined using Slovin’s formula. The data were processed usingthe multiple linear regressions. The results showed that compensation,competence and talent management simultaneously had positive andsignificant effects on the employee performance of Ikatan MotorIndonesia. Partially, compensation and talent management had positiveand significant impacts on the employee performance of Ikatan MotorIndonesia, while competence did not have an effect on the employeeperformance of Ikatan Motor Indonesia. Compensation was the variablethat has the greatest effect on employee performance. Based on theresults of the research, it is expected that the management of IkatanMotor Indonesia can pay attention to the compensation, competenceand talent management so that the employee performance will increase.

Master thesis: Extensions of a linear model of surface reflectance
Authors: Flachot Alban
Published: July 2019

Philipona O’Regan recently proposed a linear model of surface reflectance asit is sensed by the human eyes. In their model, the three dimensional cone response to reflected light is accurately approximated by a linear transformation of the three dimensional response to illumination. The geometrical properties of this linear transformation, such as singularity, correlate with psychophysical results on focal colors and unique hues. Later, Vazquez-Corral et al. built a bridge between Philipona & O’Regan’s model and von Kries-like approaches to color constancy in computer vision by showing that the linear operators could be diagonalized in a common basis. However both of these studies required specifyinga particular dataset of illuminants. We will show in this paper that it is possible to compute adequate linear operators and a common basis for diagonalization without specifying any particular set of illuminants, thus enhancing their generalizability to illuminant changes, while maintaining correlations with features of the human color vision. Further analysis of the characteristics of singularity in reflection properties will also be presented.
