Published: April 2018

This study investigated the significance of gender difference on propensity to forgive and life satisfaction and the
significance of relationship of propensity to forgive of male and female student with their satisfaction of life. A
random sample of 100 male and 100 female students were selected for the study from the various departments of
Karnatak University in Dharwad. The measures used in this study are The Multidimensional Forgiveness Inventory
(MFI) developed by Tangney, Boone, Fee, and Reinsmith (1999) assesses a propensity to forgive others, a
propensity to ask for forgiveness from others and a propensity for self-forgiveness and Satisfaction with Life Scale
developed by Diener, Emmons, Larsen, and Griffen (1985) which measures the global life satisfaction. The results
revealed that there is no significant difference between the male and female students on propensity to forgive others
and there is no significant difference between the male and female students on satisfaction in their life.

Authors: Upreti Rashmi , Sharma Seema
Published: April 2018

The present study assessed and compared the emotional maturity of adolescents in orphanages, single parent
families and intact families. The sample comprised of 300 respondents in the age group of 14-16 years, from the four
selected cities of Punjab (Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Patiala, and Hoshiarpur). 100 school going adolescents were picked
from the selected orphanages and 100 adolescents were selected under both single parent families and intact
families from the government schools. The sample was equally distributed across both the genders (50 each).
Emotional maturity of adolescents was assessed by administering Emotional Maturity Scale. The study revealed
that overall, more numbers of orphans were found emotionally immature. Adolescents living with intact families
were significantly more emotionally progressed, socially adjusted, independent and overall analysis also showed
that they were more emotionally mature. In order to cultivate emotional maturity of adolescents, parents or care
takers should try to become a good and effective listener, avoid comparisons, teach the problem solving skills and
model a good behavior in front of adolescents.

deal of research has described associations between fears of negative evaluation self-image among adolescents
which will, in turn, affect the psychosocial development of adolescents. From the extensive review of the literature,
it can be concluded that life skills training is an effective tool to deal with a range of adolescent's issues. The main
objective of this study is to assess the effect of life skill training on fear of negative evaluation and self-image among
school adolescents. The current study is a quasi-experimental study conducted among 47 school adolescents who
score low in self-esteem scale. The study indicates that life skills training were very effective in dealing with the fear
of negative evaluation and self-image.
Estimating Warehouse Rental Price using Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Ma Yixuan , Zhang Zhenji , Ihler Alexander , Pan Baoxiang
Published: April 2018

Boosted by the growing logistics industry and digital transformation, the sharing warehouse market is undergoing a rapid development. Both supply and demand sides in the warehouse rental business are faced with market perturbations brought by unprecedented peer competitions and information transparency. A key question faced by the participants is how to price warehouses in the open market. To understand the pricing mechanism, we built a real world warehouse dataset using data collected from the classified advertisements websites. Based on the dataset, we applied machine learning techniques to relate warehouse price with its relevant features, such as warehouse size, location and nearby real estate price. Four candidate models are used here: Linear Regression, Regression Tree, Random Forest Regression and Gradient Boosting Regression Trees. The case study in the Beijing area shows that warehouse rent is closely related to its location and land price. Models considering multiple factors have better skill in estimating warehouse rent, compared to singlefactor estimation. Additionally, tree models have better performance than the linear model, with the best model (Random Forest) achieving correlation coefficient of 0.57 in the test set. Deeper investigation of feature importance illustrates that distance from the city center plays the most important role in determining warehouse price in Beijing, followed by nearby real estate price and warehouse size.

Allocative Inefficiency of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs): Issues and Challenges of International Political Economy
Authors: BThakkar Hitesh Kumar
Published: April 2018

When the global monetary system faced the problem of inadequate supply of gold reserves, it led to the emergence of new paper gold in the form of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs). SDRs are used by member nations of IMF for a wide variety of transactions on IMF’s Operations Division and Administered Accounts in proportion to their quotas. Lately, the IMF has been subjected to extensive criticism on issues of recent allocation of SDRs and the related weighted voting rights. At present, the SDRs measurement is based on weighted average and a significant size of SDRs quota is allocated to developed countries due to their higher weight ratio. The SDRs quota allocated to developing and least developed countries is insufficient because they possess low weight ratio and low value. Further, the IMF does not follow the universal membership in which one country get one vote right; these allocated SDRs reflect the voting power of member nations. If a few countries with high SDRs collude with one another, it can lead to a decision favouring these countries due to a high percentage of voting rights with them. This could also result in these countries having their own representatives in the highest decision-making body, i.e. Board of Governors. This paper argues that the method of quota allocation needs to be reworked for better allocative efficiency purpose, to achieve a progressive and inclusive international economic order.
Role of Trade in Growth and Poverty Reduction: A Review of Literature with Special Reference to India
Authors: . Komal , Mohan Harinder
Published: April 2018

The growing volumes of international trade and lowering of tariff barriers have triggered continuing debate and analysis on the impact of international trade on poverty. The United Nations has identified eradication of poverty – especially of extreme poverty – as its number one Millennium Development Goal (MDG). This paper tries to assess the relevance of trade in reducing poverty in India and promoting pro-poor growth through a survey of the existing literature and concludes that a strong performance on the international market can help reduce domestic poverty in developing countries. Through a review of the literature on this topic, the author finds that there is strong empirical evidence in favour of the growth enhancing effects of exports and trade in general. Furthermore, a number of detailed microeconomic studies using firm-level and household data show that exporting can lead to productivity, growth and directly reduce poverty through wage and employment effects.

Published: April 2018

Ao estudar a ansiedade, duas vertentes podem ser utilizadas, na qual uma delas trata-se do estado emocional transitório, caracterizado por sentimentos subjetivos de tensão que podem variar em intensidade ao longo do tempo que é definida como ansiedade-estado. E a outra é referente a uma disposição pessoal, relativamente estável, a responder com ansiedade a situações estressantes e uma tendência a perceber um maior número de situações como ameaçadoras, denominada como ansiedade-traço. A pesquisa teve como objetivo mensurar os níveis de ansiedade traço e ansiedade estado em estudantes do curso de Enfermagem frente à disciplina de Anatomia Humana I. Tratou-se de um estudo quantitativo de corte transversal no qual foi aplicado o Inventário de ansiedade traço e estado (IDATE) uma semana antes da primeira avaliação da disciplina, numa Universidade particular da cidade de Aracaju (SE). Foi possível observar que a ansiedade traço foi estatisticamente significativa (p=0,02), e a ansiedade estado não (p=0,14). Quando comparados à variável eventos ocorridos, os níveis de ansiedade traço e estado foram significativos (p=0,001), no entanto, não houve alteração estatística quando relacionou-se a ansiedade traço e estado a outras diferentes variáveis. De acordo com a metodologia utilizada, pode-se concluir que a disciplina de anatomia não gerou ansiedade significativa nos discentes e que a ansiedade traço foi significativa independente das variáveis analisadas.
The role of central and peripheral D2R receptors in the mechanism of colonic vascular permeability during experimental colitis in rats
Authors: Prysiazhniuk A. , Dovbynchuk T. , Kopiyak B. , Tolstanova G.
Published: April 2018

We investigated the involvement of central and peripheral D2 dopaminergic receptors in the mechanism of vascular permeability in rat's colon during experimental ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis was induced in male white inbred rats by 6 % iodoacetamide enema. For the investigation of central and peripheral D2R, separate and joint injections of D2R antagonist domperidone (2 mg/100 g, per os) and D2R agonist quinpirole (1 mg/100 g, per os) were applied. Central D2R were destroyed by neurotoxin injection – 6OHDA. Colonic vascular permeability was measured by colonic extravasation of 1,5 % Evans blue. It was observed that blockade of peripheral D2R decreased colonic vascular permeability, while simultaneous activation of central D2R and inhibition of peripheral D2R have additive positive effect in prevention of increased colonic vascular permeability during experimental colitis.

Published: April 2018

Resumo: Este artigo desenvolve o estudo sobre a utilização da arte, principalmente da arquitetura, como instrumento de imposição de uma ideologia no contexto específico da Alemanha Nazista no período entre a Primeira e a Segunda Guerra Mundial, abrangendo os governos de Weimar (República de 1919 a 1933) e de Hitler (Nazismo de 1933 a 1945). Para entender melhor esse cenário foi abordado o duro conflito artístico que acontecia nos bastidores das atrocidades nazistas, entre a arte do governo e a arte revolucionária, as Vanguardas Artísticas. Com esse exemplo extremo foi possível analisar o papel social e político que a arte e arquitetura representam, o que configura o real objetivo desse texto. Logo, percebe-se que através de complexas estratégias e conceitos é possível transformar uma estrutura social como um todo, sendo que essa forma de transformar pode seguir caminhos distintos de acordo com a conjuntura presente. Isso demonstra um ciclo de relações diretas, entre a estética como instrumento e produto na dinâmica social.Palavras-chave: arte; arquitetura; Nazismo; guerra; manipulação.Abstract: This article develops the study of the use of art and architecture in the imposition of an ideology: The Nazism. The period is between World War I and II, covering the governments of Weimar (Republic of 1919 to 1933) and the governments of Hitler (Nazism from 1933 to 1945). In this context, a difficult artistic conflict has been addressed which was happening behind the scenes of the Nazi atrocities. This conflict was between the art of government and revolutionary art (the ‘Artistic Vanguards’). So, considering this extreme example, it was possible to analyses the real objective of this article: to understand the social and political function that art and architecture represent. In this way, it is possible to transform a social structure as a whole using art. Simultaneously, this transforming can follow different arts according to the current social situation. Those facts demonstrate a cycle of direct relations between aesthetic as an instrument and product of social dynamics.Palavras-chave: art; architecture; Nazism; war; manipulation.

Published: April 2018

The diuretic effect of aqueous extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa has always been noted by the early botanists who studied the plant. On the other hand, very little scientific work to confirm this state of affairs has been done. In this pharmacological study, we provide scientific evidence to previous observations. Using an electrolyte analyzer to evaluate urinary volume and ions and appropriate experimental protocols on wistar strain rats, we have shown that: The aqueous extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa (AEHS) administered at doses of 200, 500 and 700 mg / kg BW induces a dose-dependent and significant increase in urinary excretion in rats. This increase was 12.75 ± 1.971 mL / kg, 23.20 ± 2.082 mL / kg and 29.42 ± 2.097 mL / kg BW, respectively is after 24 hours. That is a respective increase of 55.5, 182 and 333% compared to the control. The aqueous extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa (AEHS) uses at the dose of 700 mg / kg BW results in a reduction of the first urination time by 26.30% compared to the control. The determination of electrolytes in rats treated with 700 mg / kg BW after 24 hours showed high concentrations of sodium, potassium and chlorine in the urine. These different concentrations are for sodium of 72.51%, potassium of 76.54% and 58.81% for chlorine relative to the concentration of the controls. Compared to AEHS, hydrochlorothiazide at 25 mg / kg BW results in urinary excretion of 80.79% sodium, 85.30% potassium and 75.97% chlorine. Similarly with furosemide uses at 20 mg / kg BW), the concentrations are 86% sodium, 79% potassium and 71.58% chlorine. Compared with control rats, the Na + / K + ratio did not vary significantly in the treated animals. AEHS is therefore a diuretic substance like hydrochlorothiazide and furosemide.

Effects of Changing Size-Weight Parameters on the Temperature Dependent Exothermic Riser Sleeve Properties
Authors: Yücel O. , Turan A. , Candeğer K.C.
Published: April 2018

Exothermic riser (feeder) sleeves are used to retain the heat in risers and to increase solidification duration. A riser should be enough hot to become the last solidified part in a mould cavity. Thus, risers can feed the other parts to result in sound casting products without cavity like defects. They are particularly preferred for steel and ductile iron casting operations which have high pouring temperatures. Exothermic riser sleeves are a mixture of metallothermic-based exothermic and insulating materials (Al, Fe2O3 and SiO2 etc.) that are manufactured in different sizes and shapes. In the present study, performances of some selected commercial sleeves were evaluated in terms of reaction duration, flammability and temperature change etc. Some thermochemical modelling studies were performed to understand the effect of reactant composition on sleeve performance prior to the performance tests.

Published: April 2018

A module of PrIMe automated data-centric infrastructure, Bound-to-Bound Data Collaboration (B2BDC), was used for the analysis of systematic uncertainty and data consistency of the H2/CO reaction model (73/17). In order to achieve this purpose, a dataset of 167 experimental targets (ignition delay time and laminar flame speed) and 55 active model parameters (pre-exponent factors in the Arrhenius form of the reaction rate coefficients) was constructed. Consistency analysis of experimental data from the composed dataset revealed disagreement between models and data. Two consistency measures were applied to identify the quality of experimental targets (Quantities of Interest, QoI): scalar consistency measure, which quantifies the tightening index of the constraints while still ensuring the existence of a set of the model parameter values whose associated modeling output predicts the experimental QoIs within the uncertainty bounds; and a newly-developed method of computing the vector consistency measure (VCM), which determines the minimal bound changes for QoIs initially identified as inconsistent, each bound by its own extent, while still ensuring the existence of a set of the model parameter values whose associated modeling output predicts the experimental QoIs within the uncertainty bounds. The consistency analysis suggested that elimination of 45 experimental targets, 8 of which were self- inconsistent, would lead to a consistent dataset. After that the feasible parameter set was constructed through decrease uncertainty parameters for several reaction rate coefficients. This dataset was subjected for the B2BDC framework model optimization and analysis on. Forth methods of parameter optimization were applied, including those unique in the B2BDC framework. The optimized models showed improved agreement with experimental values, as compared to the initially-assembled model. Moreover, predictions for experiments not included in the initial dataset were investigated. The results demonstrate benefits of applying the B2BDC methodology for development of predictive kinetic models.
Critical Review of the Methods to Measure the Condensed Systems Transient Regression Rate
Authors: Zarko Vladimir
Published: April 2018

Accurate knowledge of steady state and transient burning rate of solid fuels and energetic materials is very important for evaluating the performance of different propulsion and/or gas generator systems. The practical demands imply accuracy of available burning rate data on the level of 1% or better and proper temporal resolution. Unfortunately, existing theoretical models do not allow predicting the magnitude of the burning (regression) rate with needed accuracy. Therefore, numerous burning rate measurement methods have been developed by various research groups over the world in the past decades. This paper presents a critical review of existing techniques, including basic physical principles utilized for burning rate determination, an estimate of the temporal and spatial resolutions of the methods as well as their specific merits and limitations. There are known the methods for measuring linear regression rate via high speed cinematography, X-ray radiography and ultrasonic wave reflection technique. Actually, none of those methods could satisfy the practical demands. As an alternative is the microwave reflection method, which potentially possesses high spatial and temporal resolutions and may solve the measurement problem. In addition, there exist methods for measuring transient mass or weight of the burning material. They are based on recording the frequency of oscillations of elastic element with attached specimen or a cantilevered rod with a strain gauge pasted to the base. Practically, these methods could not provide needed accuracy. Much better parameters can be obtained when using the recoil force or microwave resonator techniques. Recommendations for special applications of certain methods are formulated.

Hamas-PLO/Fatah Reconciliation and Rapprochement within the Unfolding Regional Order in the Middle East since 2010: Neorealist and Neoclassical Realist Perspectives
Authors: AMOUR Philipp O.
Published: April 2018

This article addresses two main questions.
First, how have regional dynamics and domestic pathologies since 2010 affected
(i.e., constrained or delimited) Palestinian reconciliation and rapprochement?
Second, can the realist theory of international relations (IR) help us
understand the differences or similarities observed in Hamas’s and Fatah’s
preferences for reconciliation and rapprochement? Since the turn of the decade,
dominant states in the Middle East have become reactive (and proactive) toward
state and non-state actors; they have become inclined to react to power
magnitude and forces of competition beyond their calculations and control. The
differential reactions of both non-state actors, Fatah and Hamas, is due in
substantial measure to marked differences in the windows of opportunity, and
constraints on regional dynamics that have affected their policy preferences
and strategies. This article concludes that the interplay of systemic and
domestic factors has notably set the two rival movements on distinctly
different trajectories of national unity. In this sense, both streams of
realism (neorealism and neoclassical realism) seem appropriate as theoretical
frameworks, albeit with different explanatory power/opportunities.

Authors: Silva Rodrigues Junior Nelson , Vaz dos Santos Ribeiro Carla
Published: April 2018

O presente estudo objetivou investigar as vivências de prazer e sofrimento no processo de formação de residentes multiprofissionais de um hospital de ensino. A investigação foi desenvolvida dentro da abordagem de pesquisa quantitativa, utilizando-se o método descritivo exploratório. A coleta de dados realizou-se com aplicação de questionário de caracterização social e profissional dos participantes e a Escala de Prazer e Sofrimento no Trabalho (EPST), validada e aplicada por Mendes (1999). Como referencial teórico para análise dos resultados utilizou-se a psicodinâmica do trabalho, que exprime o confronto do sujeito com a realidade do trabalho e suas consequências na dinâmica dos processos psíquicos. Os resultados demonstraram que a valorização é vivenciada de forma intensa pelos residentes; os maiores índices foram em relação à finalidade do trabalho e à exigência de conhecimentos específicos para este. Quanto ao desgaste, este sentimento também se obteve presente, porém em menor intensidade. O maior fator de desgaste foi relacionado ao cansaço e ao desgaste no trabalho. O fator reconhecimento demonstrou que os residentes sentem-se reconhecidos, onde os maiores índices de reconhecimento foram relacionados à convivência com os colegas e à possibilidade de utilização do estilo pessoal no ambiente de trabalho. Os resultados remetem a uma reflexão sobre a dialética prazer e sofrimento no ambiente de trabalho, e revelam itens significativos para os residentes multiprofissionais, em relação ao seu ambiente de formação e de trabalho, abrindo espaço para discussões e produção de medidas que auxiliem a administração do prazer e sofrimento de forma sadia neste processo de formação.

No se ha reportado la presencia de ambos tipos de compatibilidad de especies de Phytophthora en plantas hospedantes sembradas en una misma maceta en viveros comerciales de México. En 2015, se colectaron aislados de Phytophthora en viveros comerciales en la Ciudad de México y en el estado de Morelos. Se detectaron los tipos de compatibilidad A1 y A2 de Phytophthora capsici y P. drechsleri en plantas marchitas de Capsicum annuum (tallos) y Petunia x hybrida (rizósfera), respectivamente. Los aislados de Phytophthora coinoculados in planta formaron oosporas en condiciones de invernadero. Phytophthora fue re-aislada de plantas inoculadas e identificada mediante herramientas morfológicas y moleculares. Los tipos de compatibilidad A1 y A2 de Phytophthora capsici y P. drechsleri se presentan simultáneamente en plantas de invernadero, lo cual sugiere que están ocurriendo recombinación sexual y variación genética. Los tipos de compatibilidad A1 y A2 de Phytophthora capsici y Phytophtora dechsleri fueron detectados por primera vez en Capsicum annuum y Petunia x hybrida respectivamente, en viveros mexicanos.

Aim: This work aimed to evaluate the color stability of an acrylic resin chemically activated (ARCA) using different handling techniques, and a bisacrylic resin when exposed to different pigmentation solutions.Material and Methods: Silicon matrixes were confectioned (10x10x3mm) to be used as specimens. The groups were designed as follows: Group Pot, Group Brush, Group Manufacturer and Group Bisacrylic (n=18). Each group was exposed to three different pigmentation solutions: distilled water, coke and chlorhexidine digluconate 0.12%. Three readings were performed for each specimen using a spectrophotometer, and the evaluations were carried out in three different time. After the color reading, three averages and the standard deviation of variation were performed after 24 hours (T1), 7 days (T2) and 14 days (T3). Data were submitted to the ANOVA and 2 criteria and Tukey (P<0.05) in the statistical software SSPS 18 for Macintosh (SPSS Inc., Chicago, USA).Results: When compared the solutions in each group of material, there was no statistically significant difference, except for T3, where the group Dencor Brush and Bisacrylic demonstrated higher color variation in all the solutions, even in the control group, and the values in Chlorhexidine higher than the other, showing greater instability after 14 days.Conclusions: With the results, bisacrylic resin used as provisory prosthesis material presents greater color instability than the ARCA, when submitted to different solutions. Bisacrylic resin and Dencor Brush present significantly visible color changes in chlorhexidine solution after 14 days. All the materials in coke solution present homogeneity in the color change after 7 days exposition to the solution, with no visible color change.

Authors: Werdiningsih Wiwik , Suhartati Suhartati
Published: April 2018

Red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel contains anthocyanin, fiber and vitamin C, so it can be used to improve lipid profile in dyslipidemia. The peel of the dragon fruit is not durable, so in this study we used freeze-dried dragon fruit peel. The aim of this study was to prove that the administration of the red dragon fruit peel in a dose of 0.72 g/200 g BW, 1.08 g/200 g BW, and 1.44 g/200 g BW of rat per day for 28 days may improve lipid profile in male wistar strain white rats with high-fat diet. Lipid profiles were studied by examining of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. This was a pure experimental study using randomized post test only control group design. This study used experimental animal of 30 male wistar strain white rats which were divided into five groups. Measurements of total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol levels were done by CHOD-PAP method, while triglyceride level was measured with GPO-PAP method. Data were analyzed statistically by One Way Anova test. The results of this study indicated that giving the peel of red dragon fruit as much as 0.72 g lowered total cholesterol levels, 1.08 g lowered total and LDL cholesterol levels, and 1.44 g lowered total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and raised HDL cholesterol level. Red dragon fruit peel can be used alternatively to improve lipid profile in dyslipidemia.
