Envy's Non-Innocent Victims
Authors: Fileva Iskra
Published: January 2020

Envy has often been seen as a vice and the envied as its victims. I suggest that this plausible view has an important limitation: the envied sometimes actively try to provoke envy. They may, thus, be non-innocent victims. Having argued for this thesis, I draw some practical implications.

Major depressive disorder is associated with abnormal autonomic regulation which could be noninvasively studied using pupillometry. However, the studies in adolescent patients are rare. Therefore, we aimed to study the pupillary light reflex (PLR), which could provide novel important information about dynamic balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system in adolescent patients suffering from major depression. We have examined 25 depressive adolescent girls (age 15.2±0.3 year) prior to pharmacotherapy and 25 age/gender-matched healthy subjects. PLR parameters were measured separately for both eyes after 5 min of rest using Pupillometer PLR-2000 (NeurOptics, USA). The constriction percentual change for the left eye was significantly lower in depressive group compared to control group (-24.12±0.87 % vs. –28.04±0.96%, p˂0.01). Furthermore, average constriction velocity and maximum constriction velocity for the left eye were significantly lower in depressive group compared to control group (p˂0.05, p˂0.01, respectively). In contrast, no significant between-groups differences were found for the right eye. Concluding, this study revealed altered PLR for left eye indicating a deficient parasympathetic activity already in adolescent major depression. Additionally, the differences between left and right eye could be related to functional lateralization of autonomic control in the central nervous system.

A Construction of buildings on the beach is needed to provide facilities and infrastructure. An analysis of bearing capacity and foundation settlement for building construction is necessary to avoid structural failure. This study analyzed bearing capacity and foundation settlement on the East coast of Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Island Province, including Tikus Beach, Takari Beach and Karang Mas Air Anyir Beach, based on field data from Cone Penetration Test (CPT). Result showed that the level of soil consistency, bearing capacity, and foundation settlement can be analyzed by combining the structural loads for the 1 to 5 floor buildings. Bearing capacity of shallow foundation was calculated using the Meyerhof (1976) method, whereas the deep foundation is using the Meyerhof (1956) method. Settlement of shallow foundation was calculated using the Steinbrenner (1934) method, whereas the deep foundation is using the Vesic (1970) method. This study found the soil consistency levels at three locations had the range from medium to hard level. The analysis of foundation bearing capacity showed that the greater of soil bearing capacity, the smaller of foundation dimensions. The greater the load that must be held by the foundation, the greater the size of the foundation needed to withstand it. The analysis of the settlement showed that the smaller of the soil bearing capacity, the greater of settlement. The greater the load that must be withheld by the foundation, the foundation settlement will greater.

Published: January 2020

The main objective of this paper is to improve our understanding of the capital structure and liquidity position of Islamic banks. For these institutions, an adequate amount of liquid assets and an adequate amount of capital are essential to stay solvent and avoid bankruptcy. Financial institutions’ amounts of capital and liquid assets have also been identified as valuable shields during financial crises. Unlike some of their Western counterparts, most Islamic banks have been able to circumvent the negative impacts of the 2008 crisis. Our paper reviews the recent and relevant publications about the impact of the capital structure and the liquidity on financial institutions efficiency. It focuses on the Islamic banking system which has grown significantly.

CHALLENGE FOR THE GYNECOLOGIST - CASE OF TUBAL ABORTION
Authors: Petca Aida , Stan Alina , Sandru Florica , Petca Razvan , Dumitrascu Mihai Cristian
Published: January 2020

Tubal abortion represents a rare entity in the gynecology practice, defining an ectopic pregnancy with the gestational sac situated in the peritoneal cavity, consequence of the extrusion from the fallopian tube through the terminal ostium. It often complicates with severe internal bleeding causing acute surgical abdomen. The diagnosis is frequently difficult and relies on a combination of ultrasound scanning, serial serum beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-hCG) measurements, whilst observing the clinical status of the patient. We present the case of a 27 years-old woman admitted for lower abdominal pain, having a positive pregnancy test. The level of β-hCG was 1185 mU/mL and transvaginal ultrasound revealed a fluid collection in the pouch of Douglas, an empty uterus and an adnexal mass image of 22/14mm. At first, medical management was preferred, a single dose regimen of Metotrexat was administered. 48 hours later, as the symptoms became more evident and the collection in the Douglas pouch increased, diagnostic laparoscopy was performed.

The diagnosis of complete tubal abortion was evident based on sonographic findings, the β-hCG dynamics and the laparoscopic features. Preserving the implicated fallopian tube through a minimally invasive procedure allowed the patient’s rapid recovery and a short hospital stay.
BILATERAL TERRIBLE TRIAD INJURY OF THE ELBOW – A CASE REPORT
Authors: Soare Gabriela , Baciu Cosmin Constantin , Ion Popescu Gheorghe , Dragomirescu Laura , Vișoianu Andrei
Published: January 2020

Considered to be a rare and very disabling condition, bilateral terrible triad of the elbow is a fracture-dislocation, which consists in a fracture of the radial head and also of the coronoid process of the ulna, all of this associated with a posterior displacement of the elbow and high instability. It was named "terrible triad" because of the poor outcome of bone healing and range of motion, both medium and long term. What we present is a special case, first because it was not a unilateral terrible triad injury but bilateral, and because the treatment was different for each elbow, which was interesting for comparing the outcome. Although both radial head fractures were comminuted, with different treatment options, for one of them open reduction and internal fixation was performed, while for the other one our option was replacement of radial head with a prosthesis. For both elbows we obtained good functional outcome at 1-year follow up.

Pronunciation Problems among Palestinian English Major Students in Hebron University
Authors: Farrah Mohammed
Published: January 2020

The purpose of this research is to identify few common pronunciation mistakes among Palestinian English major students in Hebron University and the factors that cause these problems. The paper discusses selected phonetic and phonological problems related to specific consonants and vowels besides problems related to pronunciation of consonant sequences. The participants of this study were 120 English major students from Hebron University. The researchers used a questionnaire and a recorded pronunciation test to collect the data. In addition to the previous instruments, interviews were conducted with eight students and two instructors. The findings of the study revealed that Hebron University English major students have difficulties in pronouncing English consonants that are not part of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) such as (ŋ), (p),(ɫ), (ɹ),(ʒ),(tʃ) (though some consider (ŋ),(ɫ), (ʒ),(tʃ) as allophonic variants and are used in the different dialects of Arabic), problems in consonant clusters(epenthesis), silent letters, and vowels that have more than one pronunciation. During the interviews, the interviewees pointed various reasons for their errors and suggested some solutions to some of these pronunciation problems. Among the mispronunciation reasons mentioned are: interference from Arabic and the lack of correct models, exposure to native speakers, and practice. The researchers concluded that learners' errors are caused by several linguistic factors, such as the disparity between Arabic and English sound systems, the effect of spelling on pronunciation, the influence of the first language (L1) on the second language (L2), and English vowel inconsistency. Finally, ideas to overcome some of the pronunciation problems are suggested..
Book Review of Farghal’s Jordan’s Proverbs as a Window into Arab Popular Culture
Authors: R. Naugle William
Published: January 2020

Farghal’s compilation of Jordanian proverbs does not disappoint, by permitting the
reader a window through which to gaze into Jordanian culture. One is introduced
to a vivid display of whimsey and wisdom that enteratins and educates. They say
that When food is served, talk stops, and, equally, when reading these proverbs it is
difficult to put the book down, as it is a feast for the imagination. Perhaps from
intellectual curiosity or from a penchant for the morbid, one is immediately drawn
to Chapter Seven, “Death and Madness Proverbs.” If your folk go mad, your
intellect will not help you could serve well as a mantra for many a faculty member
seeking tenure, or equally well in a climate of political uncertainty. Such is the
draw of each of these proverbs, that they conger images and usages heretofore
unthought of by the reader, sometimes as delightful aphorisms, and sometimes as
cautionary precepts..
Robert Heinlein's Space Cadet and the Young Adult Reader: Understanding the Real World through Narrative Transportation Approach
Authors: Akkawi Aya
Published: January 2020

Young Adult science fiction is a growing body of work in the science fiction
genre that encourages its readers to envision, evaluate, and question contemporary and
future real-world incidents. This paper explores the effect of narrative transportation on
young adult readers of Robert Heinlein's Space Cadet, a YA science fiction novel. One of
the main aspects narrative transportation theory examines is how literature fosters teens'
understanding and awareness of themselves and of issues important to them. In this sense,
Space Cadetengages the young adult reader with its narrative, its characters, and other
significant sociopolitical notions like gender roles, the representation of “other,” and the
politics of racism. Thus, by being immersed in the narrative and engaging with the
explicit and implicit themes represented in the novel, transported young adult readers, we
argue, may participate in changing existing social and political notions and
(re)constructing their individuality through absorbing the traits, beliefs, and
responsibilities of the fictitious juvenile protagonist and his experience, as well..
Optional Shifts in Existential Presupposition in Two Arabic Translations of A Farewell to Arms: A Shift into a More Narratorial Involvement and an Approximated Reader
Authors: Ahmad Abualadas Othman
Published: January 2020

This paper examines the optional shift in existential presupposition in two Arabic translations of Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms. In particular, it seeks to identify both how the shift occurs and how it affects the stylistic features of the translated narrative, namely point of view and readers’ interactive relationship with the text. The ultimate goal is to contribute to the research into the stylistic aspects of English-Arabic fiction translation and the alleged norms of translation. The findings reveal a tendency to increase the level of definiteness of the referring expressions and to claim more of the reader’s assumed knowledge of the text, suggesting a more approximated and involved reader compared to that of the original. There is also a tendency to bring the narrator and characters closer to each other in the psychological space and to increase the narrator’s subjectivity in the translated text. This tendency reflects the translator’s attempts to reconstruct the realities depicted in the original narrative during the translation process. Existential presupposition may be better seen in the translated fiction as a tool translators use to enhance the passage of information to a reader who is often linguistically and psychologically remote from the original work..
Interactional strategies in L2 writing: An exploration of Hedging and Boosting Strategies in Applied Linguistics research articles
Authors: Al-Mudhaffari Musa
Published: January 2020

Academic writing has been established as a persuasive endeavor which involves various interactional strategies including hedging and boosting. Nevertheless, there exists variation of hedging and boosting preferences across cultures. The purpose of this study is to explore the use of hedges and boosters, as interactional metadiscourse (MD) strategies, in Yemeni L2 academic writing. Using Hyland (2005), the study was conducted on a text of 34 applied linguistics research articles (RAs) produced by L2 writers. Based on Hyland’s model, a textual soft waretool was employed to search the instances of hedges and boosters in the corpus. The findings demonstrate that interactional MD strategies were utilized in relatively small proportions. Contrary to the assumption in the literature, hedges were used more than booster especially in the conclusion section of RAs. However, the findings suggest that Yemeni L2 writers tend to present argument like an established fact i.e. making assertive and unqualified statements. Given the limited use of hedging and boosting and the tendency to make unhedged statements, limited rhetorical functions were detected. The study has useful implications for academic writing instruction especially in EFL context..

Generic  drugs  are  actually  divided  into  2  different  types.  It  is  a  generic  drug branded and generic with a logo. Generic drugs also have the content of active substances as well as the same degree of effectiveness as patent drugs. Generic drugs themselves are actually drugs that have expired. Because of its condition, generic drugs can be sold at a much cheaper price range. This research aims to know how to level  the  public  knowledge  about  generic  drugs.  The  type  of  research  used  is  descriptive  using  the  data collection  method  in  the  form  of  a  questionnaire.  Respondents  in  this  study  numbered 60  people. The  Data obtained is processed and analyzed.  The Data obtained is then presented to the results of a community with low category knowledge of 56 people (93.3%) And the high category is 4 people (6.7%). It can be concluded that the community knowledge level about generic drugs is relatively low that is 93.3%. The results of this researchare expected to be information for the Puskesmas to be able to improve the socialization of generic drugs and also to health services, in order to increase
Furcation: the truth behind the roots!!!
Authors: Rahangdale Smita , Galgali Sushama R , Suryavanshi Hema , Siddiqui Lubna
Published: January 2020

Background:
Complex anatomic morphology of bifurcations and trifurcations predisposes multirooted teeth to plaque accumulation leading to periodontal infection. This poses a great difficulty in treatment planning and management of these furcation defects.Assessing the degree of furcation involvement depending on external tooth surface points may lead to the underestimation of positive treatment outcomes.

Aim:
To determine the buccolingual width of the furcation of mandibular molar and compare it with buccolingual width of mesial and distal roots at the level of root separation.

Materials and Methods: 40 randomly selected mandibular molars were analyzed in which 20 first molars and 20 second molars were included. Four horizontal buccolingual distances were evaluated: CEJ, Furcation entrance/ roof width (FE), Mesial root width (MRW), andDistal root width (DRW).Discrepancies between FE measurements and MRW, DRW, and CEJ were determined in each tooth by subtracting the FE measurements respectively from MRW, DRW, and CEJ.

Results: The width of the furcation entrance has a mean of 5.41 ± 0.67 mm varying from 4 to 7 mm in first molars and a mean of 5.18 ± 0.64 mm varying from 4 to 6 mm in second molars.
In this study, the FE is measured more internally than the mesial and distal root surfaces and therefore, the FE is smaller than MRW and DRW.From this, it is evident that the actual furcation width is much less than the CEJ width, MRW and DRW measured buccolingually.

Conclusion: Clinical measurements of horizontal probing depth that use the external surfaces of roots as reference points overestimate the true anatomical component of furcation involvement in mandibular molars. Conversely, positive treatment outcomes in these teeth may be underestimated.Thus, estimation of actual furcation entrance width before a surgical intervention is necessary and can influence the prognosis of involved teeth after different regenerative therapies for furcation defects.

Correlation between orofacial muscles and backache/ neck-achesymptoms – A preliminary study.
Authors: Mujawar Aadia , Holey Shruti , Chitguppi Rajeev
Published: January 2020

Introduction: In the stomatognathic system, mandible formsa unique joint that moves simultaneouslyon both sides, which makes it critical that the mandible maintains the balance without causing a stretch on any one side muscles. A rotated mandible leads to its associated muscles getting unilaterally overstretched or in a state of spasm. Certain muscles also get flattened because the yare not used because of the rotated mandible. Since the entire musculoskeletal system is inter-related and connected to each other, all the muscles of the body get adjusted to maintain a state of balance.
Materials and methods: A study of 17 individuals having back or neck pain was conducted. They answered a questionnaire about their back/neck pain and their facial photograph was taken to analyze 3 muscles - zygomaticus major, mentalis, masseter, and the nasolabial-fold. The muscles were checked for hypo/hypertrophy, the nasolabial-fold for its orientation - closer to the horizontal/vertical plane.

Results and analysis: 50% had normal Zygomaticus Major muscle, and 50% showed hypo/ hypertrophy. 50% had normal Masseter and 50% were hypertrophied. Mentalis muscle showed hypertrophy in 50% backache and 60% neck-ache cases. The right side Nasolabial fold was normal in 75% of backache cases and 80% of neck-ache cases. The left side showed a significant deviation with 80% of neck-ache cases having a horizontal nasolabial fold. None of them showed any statistical significance.

Conclusion:The study didn't show significant association between the four parameters and backache and neck pain. Larger sample-sized studies with control groups will validate any type of association.

Disparate Responses of Carbonate System in Two Adjacent Subtropical Estuaries to the Influence of Hurricane Harvey – A Case Study

Published: January 2020

Two adjacent estuaries in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) (Mission–Aransas or MAE and Guadalupe–San Antonio or GE), despite their close proximity and similar extents of freshening caused by Hurricane Harvey, exhibited different behaviors in their post-hurricane carbonate chemistry and CO2 fluxes. The oligotrophic MAE had little change in post-Harvey CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) and CO2 flux even though the center of Harvey passed right through, while GE showed a large post-Harvey increases in both pCO2 and CO2 flux, which were accompanied by a brief period of low dissolved oxygen (DO) conditions likely due to the large input of organic matter mobilized by the hurricane. The differences in the carbonate chemistry and CO2 fluxes were attributed to the differences in the watersheds from which these estuaries receive freshwater. The GE watershed is larger and covers urbanized areas, and, as a result, GE is considered relatively eutrophic. On the other hand, the MAE watershed is smaller, much less populous, and MAE is oligotrophic when river discharge is low. Despite that Harvey passed through MAE, the induced changes in carbonate chemistry and CO2 flux there were less conspicuous than those in GE. This study suggested that disturbances by strong storms to estuarine carbon cycle may not be uniform even on such a small spatial scale. Therefore, disparate responses to these disturbances need to be studied on a case-by-case basis.

The usage of fermented soybean meal (FSBM) in poultry feed is limited due to the high cost. The present study was conducted to examine the carcass traits and meat quality of broiler chickens that were fed diets with partial replacement of soybean meal (SBM) with FSBM. The 336 one-day-old chicks were assigned to four groups with 0% (control), 2.5%, 5.0%, and 7.5% FSBM addition in corn-SBM-based diets. Compared with the control, 2.5% and 5.0% FSBM decreased leg muscle yield, breast drip loss, and cooking loss (p < 0.05). The 7.5% FSBM increased the ultimate pH of breast and thigh muscles, and all FSBM treatments decreased muscle lightness and breast malondialdehyde content (p < 0.05). The 2.5% FSBM increased breast total superoxide dismutase activity, while 7.5% FSBM reduced breast hydrogen peroxide level (p < 0.05). All FSBM treatments elevated breast contents of bitter and sour tasting amino acids, and 2.5% and 7.5% FSBM increased breast glutamic acid and total free amino acids (p < 0.05). The 5.0% and 7.5% FSBM elevated thigh isoleucine and leucine contents (p < 0.05). In conclusion, FSBM replacing SBM affected meat quality with the decrease of lightness and increase of pH, water-holding capacity, antioxidant properties, and free amino acids.

This paper aims to describe the construction and operation of a respiration chamber of the head-box type for methane (CH4) measurements in bovines. The system consists of (1) a head box with a stainless steel frame and acrylic walls, floor, and ceiling; (2) a stainless steel feeder; (3) an automatic drinking water bowl; (4) a hood made from reinforced canvas; (5) an infrared (IR) CH4 gas analyzer, a mass flow generator, a data-acquisition system; and (6) a steel metabolic box. Six assays were conducted to determine the pure CH4 recovery rate of the whole system in order to validate it and comply with standards of chamber operation. The gravimetrical method was used for the recovery test and the recovery rate obtained was 1.04 ± 0.05. Once the system was calibrated, measurements of CH4 were conducted using eight animals consisting of four Holstein cows with a live weight of 593.8 ± 51 kg and an average milk yield of 23.3 ± 1.8 kg d−1 and four heifers with a live weight of 339 ± 28 kg. The CH4 production values were 687 ± 123 and 248 ± 40 L CH4 d−1 for cows and heifers, respectively. The CH4 yield was 19.7 ± 3.4 g and 17.1 ± 3.4 g CH4 kg−1 of dry matter consumed for cows and heifers, respectively. These results are consistent with those reported in the literature.

Insect meals are good candidates to replace fishmeal as new protein sources in aquafeeds. This study evaluated the effects of fishmeal replacement with different dietary inclusion levels of a partially defatted Tenebrio molitor (L.) larva meal (TM) on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum) growth, diet digestibility, and hepatic intermediary metabolism. A 154-day growth trial was performed with 252 rainbow trout (78.3 ± 6.24 g) randomly divided into twelve tanks and fed four experimental diets containing increasing levels of TM: 0% (TM0), 25% (TM25), 50% (TM50), and 100% (TM100) of fishmeal substitution, corresponding to TM dietary inclusion levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 20%, respectively. A digestibility trial was performed feeding 180 rainbow trout (94.6 ± 7.31 g) with the experimental diets used in the growth trial. The growth parameters were not affected by TM dietary inclusion. Regarding the evaluated apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC), only the ADC of crude protein was affected, showing the following trend: TM0 = TM25 > TM50 > TM100. The activities of key hepatic amino acid catabolic and lipogenic enzymes were not affected by the dietary composition. The results suggest that a partially defatted TM could totally replace fishmeal in commercial rainbow trout diets without negative effects on fish performance.

Published: January 2020

In a safety management system (SMS), risk management plays a key role for the prevention of accidents. This study aims to propose a safety management model by using a system dynamics approach applied to the Bhopal incident. The model proposed in this paper discusses the relationships among the main causes that have contributed to the occurrence of the incident studied, such as broken safety devices, inadequate personnel experience, operator decisions, manager production strategy, policy decision, as deduced from the relevant literature about the Bhopal incident dynamics. The simulation and the results clarify how to manage the key factors to make the plant safe. Moreover, we want to underline how these key modern aspects of safety could be enhanced by using the enabling technologies of industry 4.0.
