Published: September 2019

Purpose of the Study: This research aims to identify the response level of Muslim minority towards the implementation of Arabic Language and Islamic Values Education Program in the Philippines. The main problems of Islamic educational system which was regarded as an effective element of Islamization was discouraged and narrowed down to give way to secularized educational system in the country and also, how to preserve Islam in a country where they are a minority but where, nevertheless, the fundamental law of the land provides for a secular government.

Methodology: In this study, quantitative methodology research was applied and the data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows version 21 with a total number of respondents as of 272 people.

Main Findings: The results showed that the total average means a score of the response of Muslim minority towards the implementation of  Arabic Language and Islamic Values Education Program was at a moderate level with a value of 3.03. However, majority of the respondents agreed that implementation of Arabic Language and Islamic Value Education program is one of the inward-looking tendencies or deepening process of Islamization in the country.

Background Physical activity (PA) is important for preventing falls in older age. However, most older people in Iran have not been involved in any exercise program. The aim of this study was to assess the determinants of physical activity to prevent falls using protection motivation theory (PMT) in Iranian older people.Methods The cross-sectional study was conducted in Qom, Iran, from May to October 2018. Three hundred older people were selected from retirement centers via stratified sampling method. Data was collected using the Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity, and PMT constructs scale. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression and descriptive statistical analysis.Results The mean (SD) age of the participants was 64.6 (5.5) and the majority were male (77.7%). Level of perceived self-efficacy of participation was low. Perceived costs and perceived rewards were negatively associated with motivation. Furthermore, protection motivation (β=0.38, P<0.0001), fear (β=0.21, P=0.001), and efficiency of response (β=0.13, P=0.026), significantly predict PA behavior. The study model explained approximately 32% of the variance in PA behavior.Conclusion The results indicated that reducing barriers to exercising might increase PA intention. Also, protection motivation and efficiency of response and fear are considered as the strongest predictors of PA behavior among older people. The results can help health care providers to develop appropriate interventions for promoting PA among older people.

Published: September 2019

Background: In this study, we have successfully developed a simvastatin (SMV) and miR-21i-loaded poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolide)/polyethylenimine (PLGA/PEI) nanoparticles to enhance the therapeutic efficacy in gastric cancers. Methods: The SMV was loaded with high loading efficiency and miRNA was maximally loaded at an N/P ratio of 4. CLSM/FACS results clearly showed the ability of PPN-S21i nanoparticles to deliver the combinational therapeutics of SMV and miR-21i to the cancer cells. Results: Cells treated with combination of SMV+miR-21i showed significantly lower cell viability compared to that of free SMV. Our results clearly highlight the importance of simultaneous interaction of SMV+miR-21i and that it could significantly decrease the cell proliferation. As expected, cell apoptosis of SMV+miR-21i was significantly higher compared to that of individual drug or miRNA. The anticancer effect was more pronounced in PPN-S21i treated cells which showed brightest red fluorescence with lowest green fluorescence in Live/Dead assay. Finally, pharmacokinetic analysis revealed that PPN-S21i significantly prolonged the blood circulation time of SMV compared to that of free SMV indicating the potential of carrier system. Conclusion: Overall, results clearly indicate that the combination of SMV+miR-21i (gene + drug therapy) might provide a valuable strategy for the clinical management of gastric cancers.

Published: September 2019

The State of Morelos, in Mexico, has an architectural heritage conformed by 4614 religious and civil buildings, many of which were severely affected by the earthquake that occurred on September 19, 2017, which also caused damages to the built heritage in the states of Puebla, Tlaxcala, Mexico and Mexico City. A total of about 2800 heritage buildings suffered different damages degrees, reaching in many cases the collapse of elements such as vaults, domes, bell towers as well as their cloisters. The Ex-Convent of San Mateo in Atlatlahucan, Morelos, suffered damages on its main nave, in the pinnacles on the longitudinal side walls as well as in the clock box located on the front façade. In the present work, an analysis is made of the damages observed in the building, as well as a preliminary analytical diagnosis of the behavior of the main nave in order to propose future reinforcement actions for the building.
The influence of ferromagnetic fluids on performance of hydrodynamic bearings
Authors: Zapoměl Jaroslav , Ferfecki Petr
Published: September 2019

The rotors are often mounted in hydrodynamic bearings. To achieve their optimum performance in a wide range of operating speeds, their stiffness and damping parameters must be adaptable to the current angular velocity. This is offered by application of smart fluids sensitive to a magnetic field. The detailed analysis shows that application of ferromagnetic fluids is possible only for small sliding bearings. For bearings, the operation of which requires to generate high pressure, this concept fails. This arrived at the idea to use the ferrofluids-based magnetorheological fluids as a lubricant. This paper deals with the development of a basic concept of such a bearing and with the principle considerations on the magnetic flux generation and its propagation in the bearing housing and the lubricating layer. The developed mathematical model of the bearing was applied for investigation of the influence of changes of the lubricant properties by means of a magnetic field on the vibration attenuation of a rigid rotor excited by unbalance. The pressure distribution in the bearing gap is governed by the Reynolds equation adapted to non-Newtonian lubricant, the yielding shear stress of which depends of magnetic induction. The magnetic flux propagation in the bearing housing is described by the Hopkinson law. The results of the simulations show that the increase of the yielding shear stress of the lubricant by action of a magnetic field rises the bearing load capacity and does not destabilize the rotor vibration.

Published: September 2019

The paper presents a study dedicated to analyzing the sensitivity of structures with open contours to cracks. For this purpose, we analyze the particular case of the I-beam made by welding, for which we want to see how the frequencies of different modes of vibration change when a crack occurs in the weld joint between the web and the flange. The research is done using numerical simulations performed with the ANSYS program, from which the natural frequencies are obtained depending on the depth and extent of the crack. A large number of vibration modes and two types of boundary conditions are taken into account. We found that the frequency changes are small but still detectable and depend on the beam fixation mode. This makes it possible to detect cracks in the weld joint if the vibration modes where the decrease in frequency is significant are analyzed.

Published: September 2019

Bone is a dynamic connective tissue which adjusts to load variations through continuous bone remodeling, which occurs due to the dynamic behavior of bone cells. Many researchers made attempts in obtaining the dynamic characteristics of osteoblasts and its role in bone remodeling cycle. While making an effort to understand the effects of mechanical stimuli on the osteoblast, certain ambiguity is observed in the past literatures. This paper is to demonstrate the dynamics of osteoblast cells and exhibition of different natural frequencies during its life cycle. Osteoblast is modeled as a frustum of a sphere, considering it as a continuum model. The three prominent parts of an osteoblast, i.e., membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus are considered with reported material properties. Lifespan of an active osteoblast during bone remodeling cycle is considered as 90 days and progressive osteoblast stages are analysed using Ansys. First ten natural frequencies and mode shapes are extracted for nine stages and reported. It is observed that the natural frequencies of a micron sized osteoblast are in the range of kHz. A mathematical relation for the lifespan of an active osteoblast is obtained using curve fitting for fundamental natural frequencies. The natural frequency for exciting an active osteoblast on each particular day during its lifespan can be derived from the relation. This relation can serve as a guiding tool in bioengineering for in vitro bone cell culturing. Results also throw light on the excitation frequency and natural frequency of an osteoblast for proper analysis purpose. The different modes of vibration of osteoblast is identified and reported.

Published: September 2019

Background:

A large number of communities and enterprises deploy numerous scientific
workflow applications on cloud service.

Aims:

The main aim of the cloud service provider is to execute the workflows with a minimal budget
and makespan. Most of the existing techniques for budget and makespan are employed for the traditional
platform of computing and are not applicable to cloud computing platforms with unique resource
management methods and pricing strategies based on service.

Methods:

In this paper, we studied the joint optimization of cost and makespan of scheduling workflows
in IaaS clouds, and proposed a novel workflow scheduling scheme. Also, data placement is
included in the proposed algorithm.

Results:

In this scheme, DPO-HEFT (Data Placement Oriented HEFT) algorithm is developed
which closely integrates the data placement mechanism with the list scheduling heuristic HEFT. Extensive
experiments using the real-world and synthetic workflow demonstrate the efficacy of our
scheme.

Conclusion:

Our scheme can achieve significantly better cost and makespan trade-off fronts with
remarkably higher hypervolume and can run up to hundreds times faster than the state-of-the-art algorithms.

Low Cost Tertiary Education: The Price to Pay for Knowledge-Business Hub-The Mauritius Transitional Education Case Study
Authors: GUNPUTH Rajendra Parsad
Published: September 2019

Most United Kingdom (UK) universities are franchising fast with foreign universities affording low cost tertiary education. Most students and graduates in Mauritius have their degree and other awards from local, Indian or British universities. However, in the recent couple of years UK universities are franchising more and more with local institutions (University of Mauritius and University of Technology Mauritius) with large campuses on the small island of the Republic of Mauritius. Of both French (1715-1810) and British colonisation (1810-1968) until its independence in 1968 the young Republic of Mauritius (12 March 1992) is one of the leading countries in Africa where secondary education is free with a relative weaker fee to enter in tertiary institutions like the University of Mauritius. In a contextualised approach the study that shall follow explain the actual situation transition education in Mauritius where local students are less and less reluctant to go to the UK to have a degree. In return UK universities instead are mushrooming around the island attracting local students who cannot afford to pay high cost tertiary education in countries like the USA, France or the UK. Actually, UK universities are recruiting local academics to lecture on their programmes in Mauritius for local students who despite their high profile cannot afford to pay the fees in the USA or UK. UK universities are also sending their staff to lecture in Mauritius and local students have the same award they would receive in the UK. Indeed, the research reflects to what extent students are willing to remain in Mauritius to avoid obstacles and harassment they would probably face in the UK or the USA in terms of visas, accommodation, job facilities just to name a few. But there is still a cost to pay.

The study of this study discusses the historical aspects of the political leadership of Prince Asir, ruler of KawedananRupitRawas (1922-1942). RupedRawasKawedanan was a Dutch territory after the fall of the Palembang Sultanate. KawedananRupitRawas was led by Prince Asir as local leader of RupitRawas over the mandate given by the Dutch colonial government. This study uses the History method to explore the Local History of the Palembang Sultanate in the past. The stages of research begin with heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The research findings show that RupitRawasKawedanan at that time had a fertile area that produced natural resources, such as rubber, fruits and others. This area is drained by Rawasriver which then encourages the emergence of trade activities. Prince Asir is a charismatic leader who leads RupitRawas. He is a Dutch colonial leader who is considered capable, intelligent and accomplished and is considered capable of maintaining a commitment to the Netherlands. He was known as a wise leader and left many historical traces at RupitRawasKawedanan. During the struggle for Indonesian independence, Prince Asir was very instrumental in facilitating the Indonesian nation's struggle in Sumatra against the Dutch.

Published: September 2019

Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and was responsible for 8,8 million deaths in 2015. Approximately 70% of deaths from cancer occur in low- and middle-income countries. The war on cancer has been fought with three tools – surgery (cut), radiation therapy (burn) including radiotherapy and bracytherapy, and also chemotherapy (poison). Cancer therapy has increased life expectancy of patients but each treatment modality has its own effects, complications and toxicity. Moreover we have found a new effective method to fight cancer, that is, Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) has for many decades been advocated as an innovative form of radiotherapy that, in principle, has the potential to be the ideal form of treatment for many types of cancers. This research’s aim is the characterising neutron of BNCT water phantom based on 30 MeV cyclotron using PHITS computational code. The result from the simulation is that thickness of the water phantom, related to flux neutron.

Published: September 2019

The development of an African native language-based programming language, using Yoruba as a case study, is envisioned. Programming languages based on the lexicons of indigenous African languages are rare to come by unlike those based on Asian and / or European languages. Availability of programming languages based on lexicons of African indigenous language would facilitate comprehension of problem-solving processes using computer by indigenous learners and teachers as confirmed by research results. In order to further assess the relevance, usefulness and needfulness of such a programming language, a preliminary needs assessment survey was carried out. The needs assessment was carried out through design of a structured questionnaire which was administered to 130 stakeholders in computer profession and computer education; including some staffers and learners of some primary, secondary and tertiary educational institutions in Oyo and Osun states of Nigeria, Africa. The responses to the questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The analysis of the responses to the questionnaire shows that 89% of the respondents to the questionnaire expressed excitement and willingness to program or learn programming in their mother tongue-based programming language, if such a programming language is developed. This result shows the high degree of relevance, usefulness and needfulness of a native language-based programming language as well as the worthwhileness of embarking on development of such a programming language.
Nest Structure, Development and Natural Enemies of Ceratina hieroglyphica Smith, A Stem Nesting Bee Colonizing Cashew Trees in Hilly Terrains
Authors: Kaliaperumal Vanitha
Published: September 2019

Ceratina hieroglyphica nesting sites were located in dried tiny twigs of cashew trees, and the life stages were observed through periodical collection of nests. Nests were located in the pithy region up to a maximum of 20 cm deep, and individual cells of 3.5 4 mm were separated by partitions. In 2017, one hundred and two nests were collected, of which twenty-two had been abandoned. Older cells were at the bottom of nests, while young ones towards the entrance. Among the different stages, the most in the nests were adults (51.8%), followed by pupal stages. Periodical collection of nests and the observations on developmental stages of the bees indicated that the nesting period was found to occur between October and March. Each egg was laid on a pollen provision located in separate cells and the incubation period lasted for 3.1±0.29 days. The larval period and pupal period lasted for 8.4±0.63 days and 7.3±01.41 days, respectively. Adults survived up to fourteen days in lab conditions with 10% honey solution. Parasitoids, predators and pathogens recorded on this bee species are also presented here.
The Argumentation in the University Training from a Humanistic Perspective
Authors: Torres Raisa , Vidanovic Andrea , Viveros Martha
Published: September 2019

The argumentation is an inherent activity to the human being, no matter neither the culture nor the level of schooling. It is implemented according to the referential and contextual support in which it was formed. In the teaching field, this argument obtained in a reasoned way is valuable in itself, and constitutes a direct way for the acquisition of knowledge. In this way it is possible to develop critical and reflective thinking of the students. The humanist perspective advocates learning as a planned activity, but by means of the dialogue which seeks to expand the perspectives of meanings, accepts them and it involves the transformation of the world and the development of the students themselves. Starting from these considerations it was decided to analyze their influence on the training process and therefore in the social and personal performance as a fundamental element in the conceptual thinking of the university students. As a result, it was found that developing the argumentative skill of the students is meaningful for their training, so that there must not only be promoted the acquisition of technical knowledge, but also the development of a critical and argumentative thinking. It is concluded that the work of argumentation in educational spaces is still insufficient.

Published: September 2019

The overall goal of this study was to find out French language teacher trainees perception of pedagogical content knowledge in French language. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population comprised of all 415 French undergraduate students’ in the Department of Educational Foundations, Faculty of Education and, the Department of Foreign Languages, Faculty of Arts of a Nigerian University. A total of 108 French students were selected from the population through a simple random sampling technique as the sample for the study. A likert type questionnaire with a four point scale was validated by three experts. Using the Cronbach Alpha statistic, a reliability coefficient of 0.75 was obtained. Data was analyzed using means and standard deviation and a criterion mean of 2.50 was used for acceptance and rejection. The results show that Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is capable of developing French teacher trainees’ competences in problem solving skills, erases possible misconceptions and erroneous reasoning, simulates the use of various representations and instruction of knowledge and helps in the development of proactive thinking, attitude and self-confidence. It was therefore, recommended that more methodology courses should be designed and implemented to help the trainees content knowledge as well as pedagogical content knowledge so that they can serve effectively as twenty first century language teachers.

Published: September 2019

Pale skin in China seems to be a norm and the use of face-kinis on the beaches effectively implies that suntanning frightens. However other practices can be observed which raise questions. The aim of this article is to study the social representation of suntanning and the normative aspects of the representation with the conditionality of practices, among adepts of new beach practices in China. Interviews were carried out among a Chinese population who regularly follow these new beach practices on three Zhujiajian island beaches (Zhejiang Province). A free associations test and a conditionality questionnaire were filled out. The results show on one hand that the social representation of suntanning differs between men and women; on the other hand that conditionality differs little between men and women. Regression analysis shows that several sociodemographic variables such as age, can explain the conditions of acceptability of suntanning. Cross-checking the results shows up some contradictory elements which reflect the existence of an ongoing transformation in the identity of Chinese culture.
