Endocrine and metabolic consequences of surgical interventions in uterine myoma: pathogenetic characteristic
Authors: Chaava Lali. I. , Kakhiani Ekaterina I. , Tsygan Vasiliy N. , Drygin Alexey N. , Pakhomova Maria A.
Published: June 2019

This paper presents analysis results of the research on endocrine and metabolic disorders in women who underwent surgery interventions for uterine myomas. Uterine myoma is one of the most common gynecological diseases. Main types of surgical interventions to treat uterine myomas are: hysterectomy, which is an organ-removing operation with various volume of surgical intervention: supravaginal amputation or extirpation of the uterus. Another type is myomectomy — an organ-preserving operation — when myoma nodes are removed, but the uterus and ovaries are preserved if they have no pathology. Removal of the uterus with appendages or without ovaries results in a decreasing production of estrogens, which play a key role in regulation of metabolism and various functions of the body systems. Estrogen deficiency, occurring after hysterectomy, deprives patients of a comprehensive protective effect of female sex hormones in all types of metabolism and normal functioning of organ systems. Hypoestrogenemia leads to development of a post-hysterectomy syndrome that comes out in early development of atherosclerosis, circulatory diseases, osteoporosis, psychological status disorders and urogenital disorders. Hypoestrogenemia is a key link in the pathogenesis of endocrine and metabolic disorders after hysterectomy. Endocrine disorders can be found at almost all levels of the regulatory and executive axis of the endocrine system. So far, hormonal function of the peripheral endocrine glands after myomectomy has been poorly studied. Currently available publications give no data on endocrine and metabolic disorders in patients after the myomectomy.
The Relations of “shi tun” (示屯) during the Reign of Wu-Ding of Shang (≈1250 B.C. - 1222 B.C.)
Authors: Jinjing Xu
Published: June 2019

In Annals of Spring and Autumn it is stated that: “State affairs are worship and military affairs.” The inscriptions on turtle shells and bones are records of the escapulimancia during the Shang dynasty (≈1600 BC - 1046 BC), and that covers all aspects of life and society. The “tun” (屯) is a unit of measurement used for the turtle shells and bones of the oracle during the Shang dynasty. A shell or a bone is “a pian (丿)”, and a pair is “a tun (屯)”. “Shi tun” (示屯) refers to the “offering of shells and prepared bones”, is one of the important sources of oracular bones. The organization and analysis of reception records in those bones allow us to get to know this dynasty of more than 3,000 years ago from a new perspective. In addition, we can also understand the social status of taxpayers and signatories, through comparisons with the content of other oracular bones.
Communication in Greetings in Chinese: a Pedagogical Proposal
Authors: Qu Lu Xianghong
Published: June 2019

Due to the problems detected in the practice of teaching Chinese as second Language, on the other hand with the theoretical advances both in nonverbal communication and in pedagogy, especially in that of Chinese language, we began to reflect on the importance of the nonverbal language in intercultural communications. It is found that it necessary to make a theoretical and practical proposal for the integration of nonverbal communication into the Chinese language teaching materials, for the purpose of improving our students’ communication and the comprehension on the culture and society of China. In this goal, the present work consists in the analysis of nonverbal signs used in some specific communicative contexts in Chinese related to the topic of “greetings”, and in the identification of those nonverbal signs that can more easily cause errors of interpretation in the students, mainly by questionnaire, interviews and bibliographic review. Finally, based on the results of our study, we present a concrete pedagogical proposal composed by five activities, in order
to offer a complementary material that could help the students to avoid misinterpretations in spoken or written context that block and distort the transmission of messages.
Présentation : De l’ethos et du biographique : au croisement de deux parcours
Authors: Clément Anne-Marie
Published: June 2019

Les textes regroupés dans ce dossier explorent les modalités de l’ethos biographique. Il nous apparaît  que l’œuvre biographique, caractérisée par la relation singulière qui s'établit entre le biographe et le biographé, offre un contexte particulier à la construction de l’ethos, puisque l'écriture s'y propose à la fois comme discours sur l'autre et énonciation de soi. Les diverses analyses proposées montrent que l’image de soi construite à travers un ensemble de signes à destination de l’interlocuteur donne accès à la singularité du locuteur dans sa fonction de biographe, mais révèle également d’autres aspects de l’identité de ce dernier, laissant place, entre autres, à l’émergence de la figure de l’écrivain.AbstractThe texts in this issue explore the modalities of the biographical ethos. They show that biographical writing, which is characterized by the peculiar relationship that is established between biographer and biographee, offers a context for constructing a specific ethos, since the writing offers both discourse on another person and self-enunciation. The various analyses demonstrate that the self-image constructed from the set of signs aimed at the interlocutor reveal the locutor's singularity in his role of biographer, but also reveal other aspects of his identity, and allow, among other things, the emergence of the writer's image.
Écrire la biographie d’un auteur sans vie. L'ethos au secours des biographes d’Henri Michaux
Authors: Vrydaghs David
Published: June 2019

Cet article analyse la façon dont l’ethos des biographes – en l’occurrence, ceux d’Henri Michaux – soutient leurs argumentations et leurs manières de présenter l’auteur dont ils parlent. Cet ethos leur permet principalement de préciser la nature de leur entreprise biographique et leur positionnement par rapport à l’image publique du biographé – ici, celle d’un homme si secret qu’il paraît sans vie. Une telle étude s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une analyse des parcours d’écrivains qui met l’accent sur les différents éléments (discours de l’écrivain, images et photographies, discours des critiques, discours des biographes, etc.) déterminant la place que nous reconnaissons à certains créateurs dans l’histoire littéraire.AbstractThis article analyzes how the ethos used by biographers – in this case, Henri Michaux’s biographers – supports their argumentation and their presentation of the author studied. This ethos allows them to clarify the nature of their biographical enterprise and to position themselves with respect to the author’s public image – in this case, that of a man so secretive that he seems to have no life to tell. This type of study is part of a tendency to analyze writers’ careers by emphasizing various elements (the writer's discourse, images and photographs, the critics' and biographers' discourses, etc.) related to the position occupied by certain writers in literary history.
Énonciation et modélisation du réel dans Contours du jour qui vient de Léonora Miano
Authors: Nzessé Ladislas
Published: June 2019

L’article vise à interroger les stylèmes de littérarité propres au texte de Léonora Miano. Il montre que la narration à la première personne et l’onamastique des personnages et des lieux fonctionnent comme des procédés fondateurs de l’écriture de cette écrivaine. Ces deux procédés permettent de mettre en lumière la très nette corrélation existant entre le roman et le milieu social et culturel d’appartenance de l’auteure. L’art de Miano apparaît donc comme la manifestation de son enracinement dans son milieu socioculturel, un instrument de transmission de la culture et de l’identité africaines. Il « dégage les valeurs permanentes de l’héritage africain afin que l’élite africaine ne soit pas une élite de déracinés » (E. Mounier, cité par Chevrier, 1987, p. 122), mais une élite qui, libérée de tout complexe, arrive à dire la réalité de son continent. Abstract This paper sets out to study specific literary and stylistic devices in Léonora Miano’s novel. In fact, the first-person narrative and the onomastics of characters and places appear to be the main devices used by the author in her novel. These two techniques made it possible to bring into light a clearcut relationship between the novel and the socio-cultural environment of the author. Miano’s work of art can be viewed as a showcasing of an author who is deep-rooted in her sociocultural setting; a tool for the dissemination of African culture and identity. Her novel « highlights the permanent values of the African heritage so as to prevent the African elite from becoming rootless elite. » (E. Mounier, in Chevrier, 1987, p. 122), but an elite, who, freed of any complex, succeeds in depicting the reality about the continent.
Essence, Ethos, and Early English Texts: The Old New Spelling Wars
Authors: Beecher Donald
Published: June 2019

Les éditeurs des textes de la Renaissance présentés en éditions modernes doivent choisir entre les conventions typographiques des éditeurs d’origine ou une modernisation qui risque d’obscurcir certaines évidences précieuses pour favoriser une rencontre authentique avec le texte. Nous proposons ici le début d’une défense de l’édition modernisée.AbstractAll Renaissance texts in modern editions must assume a format conforming to views concerning typefaces, spelling, and punctuation, whether of the initiating period or of the modern period. Representing the “other” is the watchword, and arguably this otherness is a component not only of Renaissance style and thought, but also of Renaissance printing conventions to the degree that they differ from our own. A rationale favouring the modernization of texts could however be in the very interests of authenticity.
Byzantine Writers in 16th Century Editions From the Periphery of the Renaissance: The Czech/Slovak Region and Poland, Spain, and The Low Countries
Authors: Conley Thomas
Published: June 2019

Avant la fin du XVIe siècle, presque tous les textes grecs connus, classiques ou byzantins, avaient été  édités, traduits en latin et publiés par les soins des humanistes. La plupart des textes byzantins avaient été étudiés et établis par les hellénistes résidant à Bâle ou à Genève ainsi qu’à Venise, Paris et Ingolstadt. Cependant, cette réception « occidentale » des textes byzantins ne doit pas faire oublier les travaux d’humanistes des périphéries de cette Europe renaissante : Alcalá de Henares, Cracovie, Anvers et Leyde sont les capitales de cette autre philologie byzantine.AbstractBy the end of the sixteenth century, almost every available Greek text, whether Classical or Byzantine, had been edited, translated into Latin, and published. Much of the Byzantine material was handled by scholars in Basel and Geneva, as well as in Venice, Paris, and Ingolstadt. However/yet, the publication of Byzantine writers in regions at the periphery of the European Renaissance, in such places as Alcalá de Henares, Kraków, Antwerp, and Leiden illustrates/demonstrates another significant aspect of the “reception” of Byzantine literature.
Introspection créatrice et comédie humaine. Proust, Balzac et Bergson
Authors: Carrier-Lafleur Thomas
Published: June 2019

En analysant la place que prend Honoré de Balzac dans l’œuvre proustienne, cet article souhaite établir une comparaison stylistique entre l’auteur de la Comédie humaine et celui d’À la recherche du temps perdu. Le roman de Marcel Proust est riche des enseignements de l’entreprise balzacienne, ce qui ne veut pas dire qu’il ne tentera pas de la dépasser, au contraire. À l’aide du philosophe Henri Bergson, particulièrement avec son ouvrage Le Rire, sera ainsi expliquée la différence esthétique, voire poétique, entre les écrits de Balzac et ceux de Proust, le second reprenant le grand projet réaliste du premier pour le réfracter dans l’introspection créatrice de son héros-narrateur, ce qui fait de la Recherche une comédie humaine intérieure. Abstract Considering Honoré de Balzac’s place in the works of Marcel Proust, this paper wishes to establish a stylistic comparison between the author of The Human Comedy, and that of In Search of Lost Time (also translated as Remembrance of things past). Proust’s novel is full of Balzac’s lessons, which, however, does not mean he will not try to surpass Balzac’s undertaking, in his own way. Through the philosopher Henri Bergson, especially with his book Laughter, will be explained the aesthetic difference between Balzac’s and Proust’s writings. Proust is taking up Balzac’s major realistic project, but refracting it in the creative introspection of his hero, making In Search of Lost Time an all-personal human comedy.
Cavell as a Way into Philosophy
Authors: Moran Richard
Published: June 2019

It is of course a great honor for me to say a few words about Stanley on this occasion, and to say a few things about what he has brought to philosophy, what he has meant to me, and what his work contributes to American writing. And it is also clear that I have been given an impossible task, as anyone will know who has so much as an inkling of the variety and sweep of the texts, the questions, and the human phenomena that he has made available to philosophical reflection over the course of his many books.
For My Teacher, Stanley Cavell
Authors: Crary Alice
Published: June 2019

I AM HONORED TO BE HERE, with members of the Cavell family, with friends and with colleagues, to celebrate the life and work of Stanley Cavell, to whom I owe inestimably large debts of gratitude and whom I remember with the greatest affection and admiration.

Cavell’s role in my life was that of a philosophical parent. He is well known to have held that “philosophy is the education of grownups,” and the sort of parenting I am talking about involved opening the door of philosophy for my young adult self. This was not a matter of induction into a theoretical research program of the type that then already dominated academic philosophy. Cavell’s way was to prompt students to confront and interrogate our own intellectual responses, leading us to ask “why we do what we do, judge as we judge,” and positioning us to think for ourselves. This is a demanding pedagogical enterprise, and Cavell devoted singular amounts of time and energy to supporting the young thinkers around him. What I am going to recount is the story of two extraordinary things that he did as my teacher, circumstances all the more arresting in that I was not officially his student.
Undoing the Psychologizing of the Psychological
Authors: Hamawaki Arata
Published: June 2019

In “Aesthetic Problems of Modern Philosophy,” first published in 1965, and later collected in Must We Mean What We Say?, Stanley Cavell wrote:

We know the efforts of such philosophers as Frege and Husserl to undo the “psychologizing” of logic (like Kant’s undoing Hume’s psychologizing of knowledge): now, the shortest way I might describe such a book as the Philosophical Investigations is to say that it attempts to undo the psychologizing of psychology, to show the necessity controlling our application of psychological and behavioral categories; even, one could say, show the necessities in human action and passion themselves. And at the same time it seems to turn all of philosophy into psychology—matters of what we call things, how we treat them, what their role is in our lives.

Frege, of course, insisted on distinguishing between what is thought in any act of thinking, the content of thought, which he conceived of as having a propositional form, and the thinking of it. A thought is what can be common to different acts of thinking, whether of one’s own or of another. It is thus essentially public, essentially shareable, unowned. By contrast the thinking of a thought is necessarily someone’s, necessarily owned, and so in that sense private. Frege depsychologized logic, by excluding the psychological from it. The logical must bear no trace of the psychological, for if that were not so, there would be nothing that could be true or false—and so no judgment, no belief, no propositional attitude, as thoughts have subsequently come to be called. There would be in Thomas Rickett’s memorable words, merely “mooing.” The first person is consequently banished from the logical order, for a first person thought is constituted by the thinking of it. But in depsychologizing logic as he did, Frege seemed to have psychologized psychology. Thus, in speaking of the Investigations as undoing the psychologizing of psychology, I take it, Stanley meant that it seeks to undo what Frege did. However, this doesn’t mean undoing what Frege undid, that is, erasing the sharp boundary between the logical and the psychological, but rather to not cede the psychological to psychology: what the PI calls for is to further what Frege began, but, as it were, against Frege. In other words, Stanley saw Wittgenstein as reintroducing the first person as essential to the logical order, the order of what we think.
The Child’s Claim to the Transmission of Language
Authors: Erard Yves
Published: June 2019

Sandra Laugier describes Stanley Cavell’s contribution to philosophy as the bringing back of the human voice into central consideration: “For Cavell, the stakes of ordinary language philosophy (particularly Wittgenstein’s and Austin’s work) are to make it understood that language is spoken; pronounced by a human voice within a form of life.” How can I then express my own voice when all of my expressions are those of others? In other words, how is it that a child becomes part of her or his form of life? How does she or he claim her or his own voice? Presenting the transmission of language this way implies another way of seeing what language is, what learning language is, and finally what subjectivity in language is.
ARTE TUMULAR E PATRIMÔNIO: O CEMITÉRIO SANTANA COMO EXPRESSÃO DE CULTURA MATERIAL NA CIDADE DE GOIÂNIA
Authors: Rodrigues Ruber Paulo Alves , Silva Mary Anne Vieira
Published: June 2019

O Cemitério é o objeto de análise deste artigo. Com o auxílio teórico-metodológico da História da Cultura Material, inqueriu-se sobre as mudanças ocorridas nos espaços cemiteriais a partir do processo de secularização, e, quando e como os cemitérios monumentais secularizados passaram a ser entendidos como lugar de memória, cultura e arte, a ponto de serem elevados ao status de Patrimônio Histórico e Cultural das cidades. No que tange ao Cemitério Santana na cidade de Goiânia, questiona-se que, embora o mesmo tenha sido tombado por decreto municipal no ano de 2000, existe um notável descaso com o local. Essa afirmativa tem como base recentes denúncias feitas nos meios de comunicação do município e nos leva a questionar se a patrimonialização é suficiente para construir uma percepção diferenciada do espaço cemiterial.
A GAROTA CARIOCA: COLONIALIDADE DE GÊNERO EM IMAGENS
Authors: Fuchs Isabela Marques
Published: June 2019

O presente artigo aborda as múltiplas temporalidades e expressões da representação imagética da garota carioca em um cartão-postal específico para responder a seguinte pergunta: quem é essa garota? Ou melhor, como ela foi construída e por quê? Para isso, foi necessário um percurso a partir da percepção eucrônica da imagem, que perspassam justamente as questões referentes ao seu tempo de produção - o Brasil do começo do século XXI - e a sua reprodutibilidade. A partir de rótulos de embalagem e ilustrações em revista, os questionamentos não foram sanados, mas persistentes ao se refletir sobre a colonialidade de gênero nos impressos brasileiros a partir do mote feminista de distinção entre público e privado de “nosso corpo nos pertence”.

Actualización de la huella de carbono de la Universidad San Francisco de Quito para el año 2015
Authors: Salazar Felipe , Valencia Melanie , Velasco Alexandra , Ochoa-Herrera Valeria de Lourdes
Published: June 2019

La Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ), en los últimos años se ha convertido en una institución comprometida con el desarrollo sostenible, por lo que se realizó un nuevo estudio para evaluar nuestras emisiones de carbono correspondientes al año 2015. USFQ está seriamente comprometida en optimizar el manejo y consumo de agua, energía, combustible y desechos, con el objetivo de convertirse en un campus inteligente. En este estudio la actualización de la huella de carbono correspondiente al año 2015 fue calculada y comparada con los datos obtenidos de la línea base correspondiente al año 2012. La huella de carbono fue calculada en base a una estimación de las emisiones másicas de CO2, causadas por diferentes rubros de distintas actividades propias de la universidad realizadas por estudiantes, docentes y personal administrativo. Para este estudio, se consideraron las emisiones derivadas del consumo energético, la generación y tratamiento de aguas residuales, generación y tratamiento de residuos sólidos urbanos, consumo de combustibles, y transporte (terrestre y aéreo) de estudiantes, profesores y personal administrativo. Los datos fueron obtenidos de los registros de consumo de agua, electricidad, y combustibles. Adicionalmente, se realizó una encuesta electrónica para generar información primaria sobre el transporte de toda la comunidad USFQ. Diferentes metodologías de cálculo fueron aplicadas para determinar las emisiones de CO2 dependiendo del tipo de rubro analizado; cálculos basados en el método del factor de emisión para el consumo de combustible y energía, degradación aerobia biológica de la materia orgánica presente en agua y degradación anaerobia de la materia orgánica presente en residuos. Los resultados finales indican que en el 2015, cada miembro estudiantil contribuyó con una generación de 0.68 t CO2 al año, y cada miembro docente y administrativo contribuyó con una generación de 0.84 t CO2 al año. Comparando con la línea base 2012, se encontró una reducción en la emisión por estudiante por un factor de 1.18. En total, la USFQ emite hacia la atmósfera 6225.41 t CO2 anuales, siendo la mayor contribución el transporte terrestre (incluyendo toda la comunidad) con un aporte del  68.0%, seguido por la generación de energía 17.1%, transporte aéreo 8.6%, tratamiento de residuos sólidos urbanos 4.2%, combustión de combustibles in-situ 1.5%, y tratamiento de agua residual 0.6%. Palabras clave: Emisiones de CO2, USFQ, AR, RSU, CO2, CH4, IPCC, GEI, PTAR, Factor de Emisión
A comparison of small mammal communities in two High-Andean Polylepis woodlands in Ecuador
Authors: Ojala-Barbour Reed , Brito Jorge , Teska William R.
Published: June 2019

Polylepis forest, historically widespread throughout high elevations of the central and northern Andes, now remain only in discontinuous small patches. An expanding agricultural frontier, along with other anthropogenic pressures, imperils these remnants through further isolation and loss of habitat quality. Using two grids of live traps we compared the populations of small nonvolant mammals in an intact Polylepis woodland with one nearby that had been logged 50 years before. Our study is the first to examine the effects of habitat degradation and associated changes to vertical complexity and habitat heterogeneity on mammalian communities in Polylepis woodlands above 3500 m. The intact woodland had significantly more vertical complexity than the mid-successional woodland. A total of 315 captures of 147 individuals of 9 species were sampled during an intensive trapping effort in 2010. Trap success was especially high averaging 35.4 % and 28.1 % in the intact and mid-successional woodland, respectively. Diversity and abundance of small mammals were greater in the intact woodland than the mid-successional site. Forest specialist species were more abundant in the intact habitat; while Thomasomys paramorum, a habitat generalist, was dominant in both. Habitat quality affected movement patterns of T. paramorum. The results affirm a high diversity and density of small mammals in intact Polylepis woodland and indicate that the effects of habitat disturbance are species dependent. We suggest that habitat specialists are more susceptible to loss of habitat heterogeneity and vertical complexity than habitat generalists.
Metal adsorption in aqueous media using Moringa oleifera Lam. seeds produced in Ecuador as an alternative method for water treatment
Authors: Landázuri Andrea Carolina , Cahuasquí Segura Jaime David , Lagos Estrella Andres Sebastián
Published: June 2019

This work explores the technical viability in the use ofMoringa oleifera Lam. seeds produced in Ecuador as an adsorbent medium for copper (Cu), nickel (Ni) and chromium (Cr) present in water that could be implemented in future Water Resource Recovery Facilities in Ecuador. The seeds were prepared following a sequence of washing, drying, crushing, sieving, rewashing, and final drying. Two treatments were performed based on particle size. Treatment 1 consisted on a mixture of 70% of particles larger than 2 mm and 30% of particles between 1 and 2 mm; while Treatment 2 consisted only on 1 - 2 mm particles. Batch experiments were performed with metal concentrations ranging from 10 to 150 ppm, a dose of 1.00 g of MO per liter, and mechanical stirring for 1 hour. Treatment 2 showed to be more favorable to metal removal and the Langmuir model better characterized adsorption of the three metals.The best kinetic description of the three metals is that of a pseudo first-order reaction where the adsorption capacities are 50.93 mg Cu/g MO, 30.14 mg Ni/g MO, and 40.98 mg Cr/g MO, with removal percentage of 37 - 53 %, 39 - 76%, and 11 - 33%, respectively.
Analytical solution and numerical approaches of the generalized LevÃ¨que equation to predict the thermal boundary layer
Authors: Belhocine Ali , Wan Omar Wan Zaidi
Published: June 2019

In this paper, the assumptions implicit in Leveque's approximation are re-examined, and the variation of the temperature and the thickness of the boundary layer were illustrated using the developed solution. By defining a similarity variable the governing equations are reduced to a dimensionless equation with an analytic solution in the entrance region. This report gives justification for the similarity variable via scaling analysis, details the process of converting to a similarity form, and presents a similarity solution. The analytical solutions are then checked against numerical solution programming by FORTRAN code obtained via using Runge-Kutta fourth order (RK4) method. Finally, others important thermal results obtained from this analysis, such as; approximate Nusselt number in the thermal entrance region was discussed in detail.

Evaluation of the Effect of Glass Granule Size on Water Damage Performance of Asphalt Mixtures
Authors: İSKENDER Erol , SAYIN Aytuna , AKSOY Atakan , İSKENDER Cansu
Published: June 2019

Economic growth and the increase in the population trigger consumption and increase the amount of waste produced. One of the resulting wastes is glass and using of these large amount of glass waste materials by environmental methods is seen as an important issue. On the other hand, there are difficulties due to the decrease of natural resources in the supply of aggregates used in asphalt pavements. In this study, the use of waste glass instead of natural aggregates in asphalt pavements was investigated in terms of water damage. In addition to base bitumen, hydrated lime modified and SBS modified bitumen were used in experimental studies. The waste glass was added in two different sizes (as filler materials and 2 mm sized fine aggregate) and three addition ratios (20%, 30% and 40%) instead of basalt aggregates. The asphalt mix samples produced in optimum bitumen contents were evaluated for water damage by AASHTO T 283 method. Asphalt mixture with 20% glass filler showed the highest water damage resistance. Among the options where the glass aggregate size was chosen as 2 mm, the highest water damage resistance was realized at addition rate of 30%. Both hydrated lime and SBS polymer were effective in improving water damage resistance. However, the highest tensile strength ratio was obtained with hydrated lime. The optimum bitumen contents of the mixtures with glass aggregates produced with both base and modified bitumen were decreased compared to that produced entirely with basalt aggregate. According to the test results, it is understood that the filler materials produced from waste glasses can be used instead of natural aggregate filler.
The Information Searching Behaviour of Music Directors
Authors: Chandler Martin
Published: June 2019

Abstract

Objective – This research project sought to elucidate some of the information searching behaviours of directors/conductors of performing music ensembles when selecting repertoire for performance. Of particular focus was the kind of information needed to select repertoire and where that information was sought and acquired.

Methods – Semi-structured, guided interviews were undertaken with three conductors from varying musical ensemble forms (choral, orchestral, and wind). This included a graphical elicitation exercise following Sonnenwald’s concept of information horizon maps. A narrative analysis was done, and recurring themes were sought in the various responses to questions and created drawings.

Results – The results indicated that directors make significant use of historical and print resources in creating personal lists of repertoire for current or future use. Professional connections for discussion of new or less well-known repertoire were also very important. One particularly interesting outcome was the non-temporally bound nature of conductors’ information searching behaviour, as the current models of information behaviour primarily relate to temporally bound searches. The Internet was noted by the three conductors not as an information source in and of itself but rather as an extension of other information sources.

Conclusions – This research highlighted the atemporal nature of information searching behaviour in music directors and suggested a similar aspect in the broader information search process. It indicated a need for libraries that cater to performers to maintain historical lists of varying types (e.g., concert programs, similar lists created by other prominent members of the community, and other types of repertoire lists). Additionally, maintaining community connections and knowledge of new or newly available repertoire is important.

Abstract

Objective – To examine trends in digital object identifier (DOI) web referrals and explore the referring domains, especially those originating from web-scale discovery systems like ProQuest’s Summon and Primo.

Design – Log analysis and web traffic analysis.

Setting – CrossRef, a web server that connects DOIs to the corresponding articles’ landing pages.

Subjects – Web traffic that passed through CrossRef between 2011 and 2016.

Methods – The researchers collected data from CrossRef using a web tool called Chronograph. The data captured information about the websites users were on when they requested a DOI (called the referrer) and about the time and date of each request.

The researchers used time series analysis to discover longitudinal patterns in the data. Annual, monthly, and weekly trends were also examined with a seasonal adjustment model, a seasonal trend decomposition, and log transformation. They also isolated traffic from four institutions in Australia, Japan, Sweden, and the United States of America to determine if overall seasonal patterns were reflected locally.

ProQuest websites were of particular interest to the researchers because they determined that it had the highest market share of discovery services. Much of the analysis focused on ProQuest’s serialsolutions.com, exlibrisgroup.com, and proquest.com website domains.

Main Results – ProQuest servers sent over 25 million DOI referrals through CrossRef – more than either Web of Knowledge (n=24.47 million) or Google (n=15.38 million).

Referral traffic grew over the period with the sharpest growth rate occurring between 2011 and 2012. Of ProQuest’s domains, serialsolutions.com (Summon) had more traffic and more growth over the observation period than exlibrisgroup.com (Primo).

In all of the years studied, the busiest months were September to November and January to March, while June to August and December were low points. Seasonal fluctuations were attributed to university vacation schedules as demonstrated in the traffic patterns of four ProQuest-subscribing institutions.

Weekly trend analysis showed that Monday to Thursday had consistently heavy referral traffic. Of the remaining days, the fewest referrals were observed on Saturdays.

Conclusion – DOI referrer traffic is closely tied to the university calendar. Library discovery products are used more frequently to access DOIs than Google.

A Modified Architecture for Radix-4 Booth Multiplier with Adaptive Hold Logic
Authors: Suvarna S , Rajesh K , Radhu T
Published: June 2019

High speed digital multipliers are most efficiently used in many applications such as Fourier transform, discrete cosine transforms, and digital filtering. The throughput of the multipliers is based on speed of the multiplier, and then the entire performance of the circuit depends on it. The pMOS transistor in negative bias cause negative bias temperature instability (NBTI), which increases the threshold voltage of the transistor and reduces the multiplier speed. Similarly, the nMOS transistor in positive bias cause positive bias temperature instability (PBTI).These effects reduce the transistor speed and the system may fail due to timing violations. So here a new multiplier was designed with novel adaptive hold logic (AHL) using Radix-4 Modified Booth Multiplier. By using Radix-4 Modified Booth Encoding (MBE), we can reduce the number of partial products by half. Modified booth multiplier helps to provide higher throughput with low power consumption. This can adjust the AHL circuit to reduce the performance degradation. The expected result will be reduce threshold voltage, increase throughput and speed and also reduce power. This modified multiplier design is coded by Verilog and simulated using Xilinx ISE 12.1 and implemented in Spartan 3E FPGA kit.

Security, be it of a small apartment or of a sophisticated, gigantic institute is of arrant concern. In metro cities in India, for a housing complex/small apartment, security personnel are generally employed for the said purpose, who may not be that efficient especially at night. This paper intends to build an “Intelligent Home Security System” based on Digital Image Processing and Speech Processing, using a Raspberry Pi. The system is divided into two sub- systems. 1. Allowing/Disallowing vehicles based on Number Plate Recognition2. Allowing/Disallowing human beings based on Face Detection and  Recognition and Speech RecognitionA database of the residents of the building is prepared. It consists of a pre-recorded security code word and an image of the resident. A separate vehicular database containing the number plates of the cars is also stored in the memory.
What Should be Known to Conduct in the Travel Industry? Extending to Knowledge-based View
Authors: Chen Kuan-Yang
Published: June 2019

The purpose of this study is to explore what market knowledge of the travel industry involves. Although there has been consensus that market knowledge is drawn from the market orientation theory, little insight into the nature and issue of market knowledge from the knowledge-based view is identified. Thus, our aim is to fill this gap in the market knowledge of tourism literature.

To this end, this study adopts the discovery-oriented approach of qualitative study to delineate the domain of the market knowledge construct in the travel industry setting.

The study interviewed two companies and summarized four categories of 4C market knowledge: Knowledge of external customer (customer) including customer profile, traveler’s psychology and behavior, and customer relationships management; internal customer (employee) including employee equity, workforce management, and performance control; competitor, including competitive status and competitive response; and partner client (supplier and distributor), including partners’ characteristics and supply chain management.

This study provides operational definitions and a legible framework of market knowledge for directing future research.

Published: June 2019

This was a cross-sectional descriptive survey and the objectives were to find out the nutritional status and associated factors of children under-five years in Mwanamukia of Kasarani Sub-County of Nairobi County. Structured questionnaire was used on demographic, socio-economic and child caring practice. Anthropometric measurements were used. 43% severely stunted and 27%  normal. 43% underweight, 26% normal. Severe wasting 20% 50.3% normal. Children age 36-47 months stunted (<-3 Z scores) than younger children, children aged 0-6 months had normal nutritional status. Low dietary diversity were achieved by children under-five (58% (<4 food groups), 23% medium scores (4-8 food groups), 19% high scores (6-8 food groups).  Most consumed cereals (79%), legumes (10%), and meat (0.2%).  (82%) consumed one meal per day, (6.6%) three meals/ day. Risk of stunting 5.343 times higher in children who did not meet minimum dietary diversity.  Risk of stunting was higher (OR=2.421 Ci =1.340-10.346 PV= 0.003).  Education 44.6%, 8% illiterate, 34.6% 0’level education, 0.8% University. Low dietary diversity stunted P.V =0.003. Occupation 28.6%, small businesses, and 21.2% farmers. Monthly income KES 11000-20000, lowest KES 1000-10000 per month, 68% had KES 30000/ month. There was no significance difference between nutritional status and household socio-economic status, age of mothers, educational level and occupation PV=0.003. The study shows there is high prevalence of stunting and under-weight in children. In conclusion there was low dietary diversity and low food consumption frequency. Stunting had statically significant association with low dietary diversity and underweight had a statistically significant relationship with household size.

The research aims to find out the PPATK’s Duties and Authorities in Law 8 of 2010 concerning Prevention and Eradication of Crime of Money Laundering and the Role of the PPATK in Proving Money Laundering Crimes.

Duties and Authorities of PPATK in Law 8 of 2010 concerning Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes. The aim of the PPATK is to Prevent and Eradicate Money Laundering Crimes, thus giving birth to an authority, namely 1). Collect, conclude, collect, analyze, evaluate information obtained from financial service providers, make guidelines on procedures for reporting suspicious financial transactions, 2). Provide advice and assistance to other authorized agencies regarding information obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Act on Money Laundering, 3). Provide recommendations to the government regarding the prevention and eradication of criminal acts of money laundering, 4). Report the results of analysis of financial transactions that indicate criminal acts of money laundering to the police for the purposes of investigation and prosecution for the purposes of prosecution and supervision, and 5). Make and submit reports on the analysis of financial transactions and other activities periodically to the President, Parliament, and institutions authorized to supervise Financial Service Providers (PJK). The role of PPATK in Proof of Money Laundering is PPATK in eradicating criminal acts of money laundering if it finds indications of suspicious transactions, cash transactions over five hundred million rupiahs, or transfers from and or abroad PPATK submits the results of investigations to investigators for investigation. In this case the PPATK only conducts the final assessment of the entire process of problem identification, analysis, evaluation of suspicious financial transactions conducted independently, objectively and professionally. However, the role of PPATK is very decisive in the process of identifying money from original crimes as evidence for investigators in proving the crime of money laundering.
What Support? Foucault, Power, and the Construction of Rape
Authors: Javaid Aliraza
Published: June 2019

This paper is concerned with the social and cultural constructions of male rape in voluntary agencies, England. Using sociological, cultural, and post-structural theoretical frameworks, mainly the works of Foucault, I demonstrate the ways in which male rape is constructed and reconstructed in such agencies. Social and power relations, social structures, and time and place shape their discourses, cultures, and constructions pertaining to male rape. This means that constructions of male rape are neither fixed, determined, nor unchanging at any time and place, but rather negotiated and fluid. I theorize the data—which was collected through semi-structured interviews and qualitative questionnaires—including male rape counselors, therapists, and voluntary agency caseworkers. The theoretical and conceptual underpinnings that frame and elucidate the data contribute to sociological understandings of male rape.
