Published: March 2018

Community awareness in healthy life is increasing by consuming nutritious food through such as fruit. So it is necessary for increasing the availability of fruit either by cultivation expansion or technology development. The production life of papaya crop approximately three years only, so that replanting takes relatively fast. But there is some limitations mainly the availability of suitable seedling (age and uniformity). For improving the availability of suitable papaya seedling can be used gibberellin as growth regulator substance. But gibberellin in pure analysis limitations are expensive, not always available, and high technology in application.  The aim of the research was to test of shallot juice (1 kg of shallot bulbs destroyed by juicer) as gibberellin substitute for improving papaya seedling.  The experiment was conducted at terrace house, consist of percentage and speed of germination and growth of seedling observation after seed soaked 2 hours in shallot juice several concentration treatment. Test of the germination percentage and speed conducted for 10 seeds on pastur paper in petridish (11.5 diameter) as germination media. The experiment for growth seedling was arranged in randomized completely design which the treatments are: seed soaked in water,  soaked in 5, 10, 15, dan 20 ml l-1 shallot juice concentration, and soaked in gibberellin 10 ppm. Each of the experiment unit consist of 8 seedlings which planted on trypot (composite of plastic pots by size 5.5x5.5 cm at surface, 5.5 cm height, and 2,5x2,5 cm at the base, each of traypot consist of 32 pots). So in each of tray pot there are 8 experimental units, each of experimental unit repliclated 3 times. Traypot and petridish at terrace house shaded by woven plastic 65%, by size 2.5x1.5x2.0 m (length, width, and height). Yield of the research showed that shallot juice potential as gibberellin replacement in papaya nursery. Response of papaya seed (percentage and speed of germination) and seedling (length of root, stem diameter, number of leafs, leaf area, and weight of biomass) to 15 ml l-1 shallot juice equal with gibberellin 10 ppm.

Published: March 2018

Enriching health professional students’ placement experiences through targeted community-engagement has the potential to help develop their preparedness to provide healthcare to the broader community. The program, developed in 2011, consisted of short, extracurricular community-engaged learning experiences integrated with the students’ professional placements. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the program was adding to the students’ rural health placement experiences based on perceptions of both the students themselves and UONDRH staff.A mixed methods approach used a student survey (n = 96), which included both closed and open-ended questions, and semi-structured interviews with staff members involved in delivery of the community engagement program (n = 15). Data were explored together for intersections and commonalities. The overarching key concept was ‘Enhancing Work Readiness and Employability’. Both student and staff perceived that students’ participation in community engagement improved their employment prospects. Three themes that emerged from the data, which underpinned and supported the key concept. They were: ‘Expanding professional practice capabilities’; ‘Building confidence and showing motivation’ and ‘Better understanding the nature of rural practice’,  The results of this study provide support to the notion that there was value for students in this form of short-term, community engagement activities, many of which could be readily integrated into existing health professional education programs with considerable benefits. . It would also lend itself to other non-health professional programs, such as law, journalism or business studies, as a means of broadening the students’ perspectives beyond the limits of their own professional horizons.

Published: March 2018

The rise of technology has been contributing advances to science, and to human being in making jobs far much easier to do, including pattern recognition. This research focused on character recognition by developing a system capable to recognise images of printed Balinese traditional character, which has a distinct feature of having perceptually similar characters, where each others are often differentiated only by a small stroke or a curve. The system itself took several processes to recognise a character. First, the image containing Balinese characters is preprocessed. Afterwards, two object features are extracted from the image: Direction and Binary Object Area. Both features then tested for similarity using Euclidean distance with the same features already obtained from the control images. From 573 characters tested to the system, 559 are recognized as characters and 526 are correctly recognized as the right character, which yields an overall accuracy of 91.8%. Recognition results are dependent to character spacing condition.

Reliability of water supplies in low and middle-income countries: a structured review of definitions and assessment criteria
Authors: Majuru Batsirai , Suhrcke Marc , Hunter Paul R.
Published: March 2018

The unreliability of water supplies in developing countries is a widely recognised concern. However, unreliability means different things in the variety of literature on water supplies, and no unified definition or assessment criteria exists. We review definitions of water supply reliability used in existing literature, as well as the various ways in which it is assessed. Thirty-three papers were selected for review that reported on reliability of domestic water supply and were based on empirical research in developing countries. Explicit definitions of reliability are given in four out of the 33 papers reviewed. These definitions vary, but features common are the functionality of the water supply system itself, and the extent to which it meets the needs of water users. Assessment criteria also vary greatly, with the most common criterion in urban settings being the duration/continuity of supply in hours per day, while in rural settings, the proportion of functional water systems is commonly used. The heterogeneity in the definitions and assessment criteria found in the review is perhaps indicative of a multi-attribute nature of the concept of reliability and any unifying definition and assessment criteria might do well to take this into account.
Profitability in Asset Pricing Models for Chinese Equities 1996-2016
Authors: Liu Dong
Published: March 2018

I follow Novy Marx (2011, 2013) to investigate and compare firms’ gross profit, operating leverage as predictors of returns for a cross-section of traded Chinese equities spanning from1996-2016. I use portfolio tests and Fama-MacBeth regressions, find that gross-profit-to-market-capitalization ratios significantly predict returns on sampled stocks. I also find that sorting portfolios by gross profitability and size outperforms in the Chinese market. Hence, I create a Market-Profitability-Size model that captures profitability and size premium among returns of sampled stocks. Based on Gibbons-Ross-Shanken test and economic value, I demonstrate that my enhanced model outperforms Fama-French multiple-factor model in isolating influences on equity returns.

Una historia de actores no estatales y derechos humanos en el mar: la crisis marítima de migración y las obligaciones de las embarcaciones comerciales
Authors: Stępień Barbara
Published: March 2018

Este artículo presenta el papel que juegan los actores no estatales en la crisis migratoria marítima en Europa. Para ello, se realizan consideraciones acerca de las obligaciones de actores no estatales derivadas de instrumentos de derechos humanos y el derecho internacional de los refugiados. Se aduce que se ha prestado poca atención a la industria marítima y a las embarcaciones comerciales como titulares de responsabilidades en derechos humanos y, por lo tanto, ese análisis es necesario. El trabajo analiza diversos instrumentos internacionales desde la perspectiva del derecho internacional marítimo, de los derechos humanos y del derecho internacional de los refugiados. Se concluye que enfrentar el problema de la migración marítima puede implicar considerar una necesaria enmienda de diversos tratados internacionales. Adicionalmente, se sostiene que es necesario estudiar la migración marítima como un fenómeno complejo que no tiene sólo implicaciones respecto al derecho internacional en lo concerniente a los derechos humanos y al derecho de los refugiados, sino también respecto a la industria marítima.

Este concepto es la piedra angular del derecho penal internacional, del cual se desprenden otros principios generales y las normas del sistema del Estatuto de la Corte Penal Internacional. Se trata de un principio que surgió históricamente en la Carta y la sentencia de Núremberg. Asimismo, sus características lo distinguen de la responsabilidad estatal y de la responsabilidad penal nacional. En particular, es importante mencionar el carácter grupal de esta responsabilidad, así como el reconocimiento de individualidad de las personas que cometen crímenes internacionales, a través del principio de culpabilidad.
RETENTION OF CAROTENE AND RETINYL PALMITATE IN PALM COOKING OIL AND THE PRODUCTS FRIED IN THE OIL
Authors: Hasibuan Hasrul Abdi
Published: March 2018

Fortification of vitamin A in the cooking oil needs to be revisited given that the used oil is palm oil and fortificant form of vitamin A or retinol palmitate have to be imported. On the other hand, palm oil contains carotene as pro-vitamin A and potentially as an alternative of fortificant. The aim of this study was to compare the retention of carotene to retinol palmitate in palm cooking oil and the products fried in the oil using deep frying at 150°C. Materials used as fried products were potatoes, tofu and chicken. The quality of cooking oil that determined were the fatty acid composition, water content, free fatty acid, peroxide value, color, retention of carotene and retinol palmitate. While the quality of the products fried in the oil that determined were water, fat, carotene and retinol palmitate content. The results of this study showed that fortificant (carotene and retinol palmitate) no significant difference to the quality of cooking oil except color, retention of carotene and retinol palmitate. Fortificants also showed no significant difference to the quality of fried products. Retention of carotene showed significantly decreased with increasing frying repeatedly, but had a higher retention and significantly different than retinol palmitate. Retention of carotene in the frying pan first, second, third, fourth and fifth were in the range of 86-89%, 83-89%, 80-83%, 77-80% and 77-80%, while retinol palmitate were 68-100%, 58-97%, 51-89%, 50-84%, and 40-75%. Thus, carotene can be used as an alternative of fortificant in the palm cooking oil.

A figura diabólica e as suas manifestações políticas e artísticas permitem estabelecer relações entre o surgimento do mito, marcado pelo ingresso da produção capitalista num entorno rural e indígena no final do século XIX, e os processos de identificação e resistência que o próprio mito encarna.
Cultura e Religião: Um estudo sobre as Festas de Agosto conforme a Oficialidade Católica
Authors: Gandra Brandão Viviane Bernadeth
Published: March 2018

O trabalho faz uma análise da percepção de líderes católicos oficiais que atuam em Montes Claros - MG, a respeito da dinâmica contemporânea das Festas de Agosto que acontecem na cidade. Essas festividades são práticas ligadas à Igreja Católica e às irmandades negras, em louvor a Nossa Senhora do Rosário, a São Benedito e ao Divino Espírito Santo. Perduram por mais de 170 anos e são consideradas patrimônio cultural regional. Porém, sofreram mudanças notáveis, pela incorporação crescente de elementos extrarreligiosos, configurando-se hoje como um fenômeno culturalmente híbrido. Pela importância do Catolicismo na estruturação da cultura brasileira, esse estudo se justifica por tentar compreender como a Igreja lida hoje com as tradições religiosas, de modo a  se posicionar no mundo contemporâneo: reafirmando-as, reinventando-as, empenhando- se em alterar seus conteúdos simbólicos originais, adaptando-as a novos tempos e lugares, e, ao mesmo tempo, recusando-as juntamente com determinados elementos e tendências culturais. A pesquisa analisou as festas religiosas de Montes Claros como um fenômeno exemplar das questões expostas, capaz de dar atualidade a conceitos importantes para a análise sociocultural. Buscou-se construir apontamentos capazes de contribuir para o enriquecimento das análises sobre a religião Católica na sociedade contemporânea, para o registro de aspectos relativos à dinâmica das festas em questão, bem como para a reflexão sobre o sentido atual de uma tradição religiosa sincrética e duradoura.Palavras chave: Festas religiosas. Montes Claros. Cultura contemporânea. Igreja Católica.

A Vontade Geral e o sistema autogestionário: necessidade, possibilidade e desafios
Authors: Mariano da Rosa Luiz Carlos
Published: March 2018

Consistindo em um processo ético-jurídico de deliberação coletiva, o que se impõe à manifestação da Vontade Geral como um fenômeno histórico-cultural é a condição de imanência que a caracteriza em um movimento dinâmico-dialético que demanda uma formação econômico-social que possibilite a emergência de valores e práticas, condutas e comportamentos, necessidades e objetivos que, tendo como fundamento o interesse comum, se lhe correspondam, convergindo para uma forma de autodeterminação que guarda possibilidade de promover a superação da alienação das capacidades humanas no contexto das relações socioprodutivas, a saber, a autogestão. Tal experiência social de autodeterminação coletiva, conforme assinala o artigo, envolve tanto a esfera política quanto o âmbito econômico (trabalho) e encerra a noção que implica desde a igualdade substancial (concreta) até a efetiva participação política, sobrepondo-se ao viés mercadológico da organização econômico-social vigente e à estrutura burocrática corporificada pelo Estado no sistema capitalista.
Determinants of private fixed investment in emerging country

The neoclassical and Keynesian theories regard private investment not only as a source of economic growth but also as a determinant of the potential extent of the national income. The aim of this research was to examine the determinants of private fixed investment in South Africa by employing the Johansen cointegration technique and the vector error correction model (VECM) analysis. Based on the literature survey it appears that the previous studies mainly focused on private investment in manufacturing and infrastructure sectors therefore this is envisaged to add knowledge to a body of economics literature in this area by focusing more on private fixed investment and its determinants in South Africa. The study concludes that for the period under investigation GDP has the positive sign as expected. This suggests that in the long run it impact positively on private fixed investment. The findings of the study also confirmed that tax rate is a complementary to private fixed investment. Similarly, the real exchange rate coefficient was negative as expected which suggests that the depreciation of the currency stimulates the growth of South Africa private fixed investment. It is obvious that even the best economic model cannot achieve the expected outcomes immediately but these results encourage the study to believe that the South African monetary policy on exchange rate complements private fixed investment. Therefore, the study proposes that both even though both growth and general tax rate are difficult to accomplish simultaneously, they should be used to promote the flow of private fixed investment in South Africa.
Wpływ barier sanitarnych w handlu produktami zwierzęcymi na gospodarkę narodową Wielkiej Brytanii

Głównym celem artykułu jest przedstawienie źródeł sankcji stosowanych w przeszłości na import produktów zwierzęcych z terytorium Wielkiej Brytanii, a także ich wielowymiarowych skutków (ekonomicznych, politycznych, społecznych, zdrowotnych, ekologicznych, regulacyjnych) dla tego państwa. Dokonano zestawienia chronologii zdarzeń związanych z wybuchem epidemii BSE i FMD oraz ukazano szeroki zakres ich konsekwencji. Z przeglądu literatury, analizy oficjalnych dokumentów i danych z bazy Eurostat wynika, że wprowadzenie zakazu handlu wewnętrznego i zagranicznego zwierzętami oraz produktami zwierzęcymi z powodu występowania zakaźnych chorób zwierzęcych odbiło się bardzo niekorzystnie nie tylko na sektorze rolnym, ale pośrednio również na całej brytyjskiej gospodarce oraz jakości życia obywateli. Całkowite straty wywołane BSE i FMD były znaczne, mogły nawet sięgnąć odpowiednio 5,5 mld i 4 mld GBP.

Wpływ regulacji prawnych na gospodarkę odpadami komunalnymi w wybranych gminach wiejskich
Authors: Sobolewska Agnieszka , Sobolewski Mariusz
Published: March 2018

Celem pracy jest określenie zmian w gospodarce odpadami komunalnymi na terenach wiejskich, które wystąpiły po wprowadzeniu w 2012 roku nowego systemu zbierania i zagospodarowania tych odpadów. Badaniami objęto gminy wiejskie powiatów bielskiego oraz hajnowskiego. Uzyskane wyniki pokazują, że wprowadzone zmiany przyczyniły się do poprawy stanu gospodarki odpadami komunalnymi na terenach wiejskich. W gminach objętych badaniami ilość odbieranych odpadów komunalnych wzrosła o około 42 kg/mieszkańca/rok. Jednocześnie znaczna część mieszkańców (ponad 93%) rozpoczęła selektywną zbiórkę odpadów. Zmiana systemu spowodowała wzrost kosztów ponoszonych przez właścicieli nieruchomości. W najczęściej występujących na badanym terenie gospodarstwach dwuosobowych opłaty za odbiór odpadów wzrosły od 51 do 533% w zależności od gminy i sposobu zbierania odpadów (odpady zmieszane lub zbierane w sposób selektywny).
Zafałszowania artykułów rolno-spożywczych w świetle regulacji prawnych oraz działań organów urzędowej kontroli żywności w Polsce

Published: March 2018

Celem badań było przedstawienie regulacji prawnych dotyczących kwestii zafałszowań na rynku artykułów rolno-spożywczych oraz efektów działań IJHARS w tym zakresie. Badaniami objęto polskie i unijne regulacje prawne poruszające kwestię nieprawidłowości i odpowiedzialności przedsiębiorców na rynku żywności. Cel ten zrealizowano poprzez analizę danych wtórnych, tj. aktów prawnych oraz dostępnych wyników kontroli przeprowadzonych w latach 2009–2017 przez organy urzędowej kontroli żywności. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na analizę decyzji administracyjnych wydanych przez IJHARS na podstawie art. 29 ustawy o jakości handlowej artykułów rolno-spożywczych, dotyczących zafałszowań artykułów rolno-spożywczych, które są upubliczniane na stronie internetowej inspekcji. Wyniki działań kontrolnych wskazują na zasadność prowadzenia dalszych działań kontrolnych, zwłaszcza w zakresie etykietowania żywności.
Czynniki wpływające na konsumpcję produktów mlecznych w polskich gospodarstwach domowych
Authors: Murawska Anna
Published: March 2018

W artykule podjęto próbę określenia czynników wpływających na konsumpcję produktów mlecznych. Dodatkowo starano się określić, jaki jest obecny poziom konsumpcji produktów mlecznych i czy spożycie różni się w zależności od charakterystycznych cech gospodarstw domowych. W artykule podjęto rozważania teoretyczne oraz empiryczne. Źródłem danych były informacje pochodzące z badań budżetów gospodarstw domowych w Polsce. W celu dokonania opisu danych zastosowano metody statystyczną, opisową i porównawczą. Konsumpcja mleka w Polsce od wielu lat spada, rośnie spożycie jogurtów, a serów utrzymuje się na zbliżonym poziomie. Nadrzędnymi czynnikami wpływającymi na poziom konsumpcji produktów mlecznych są dochody konsumentów, przynależność do grupy społeczno-ekonomicznej oraz wielkość rodziny.
