Published: September 2020

Breast milk is the best food for babies. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months of birth in infants. Breast milk contains all the substances that babies need. However, there are still babies who are not given exclusive breastfeeding and have never even felt breast milk. This is due to the mother's breastmilk not coming out, working mothers, or the production of breastmilk that is felt to be inadequate in meeting the needs of the baby. This study discusses the differences in growth focused on the weight and height of children aged 14-23 months who drink breast milk and infant formula. This type of research is a comparative study with cross sectional design. The population is 115 children aged 12-24 months in Sekaran village.

Authors: Linares García Johana , Hernández Quirama Andrea , Rojas Betancur Hector Mauricio
Published: September 2020

Este artículo es resultado de la sistematización de la experiencia con orientación docente en el marco de la práctica profesional de trabajadores sociales. El proceso de sistematización contiene tres fases: reconstrucción de la experiencia, interpretación y potenciación de la práctica pedagógica, realizada desde el enfoque crítico-social a partir de los resultados del proceso desarrollado con tres experiencias durante un año. De los resultados se destaca el interés de los estudiantes por materializar el proyecto ético y político ideado para la profesión, y las tensiones presentes entre las fuerzas que integran el campo (agentes e instituciones). Además, los estudiantes tienden a regresar al positivismo y con el transcurrir de la práctica se adaptan a la lógica del proyecto educativo mercantilizado, lugar en el que el docente ha contribuido a adoctrinar para el mercado laboral. El mayor reto de la orientación docente se centra en promover al interior de la unidad académica la discusión en torno a las competencias y al sistema de evaluación creado para las prácticas académicas, así como en mantener el análisis constante del contexto sociopolítico contemporáneo a fin de promover el desarrollo de capacidades críticas y reflexivas.

Authors: García Jara Rodrigo , Ramírez Martínez Jorge Enrique , Pineda Martínez Edgar Oswaldo
Published: September 2020

Con el acuerdo de paz firmado entre el Estado de Colombia y la guerrilla de las FARC-EP se inició formalmente un proceso de cultura de paz que, entre otros, tiene los retos de subsanar los hechos de barbarie acaecidos en el conflicto y comprometerse a no repetirlos. Este proceso de paz tiene como objetivo principal ofrecerle un futuro sin conflictos fratricidas a las nuevas generaciones y, por ende, una sociedad en paz. Después de este acuerdo, uno de los principales retos es recibir de nuevo en la población civil a todos los excombatientes para quienes durante muchos años la única manera de solucionar los conflictos fue la violencia. Por lo tanto, en aras de seguir construyendo la paz proponemos la ética dialógica como el medio más adecuado de solucionar conflictos y una herramienta vital para los procesos de reconocimiento y reincorporación ciudadana.

Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is an important oil, food, and feed crop worldwide. The USDA peanut germplasm collection currently contains 8,982 accessions. In the 1990s, 812 accessions were selected as a core collection on the basis of phenotype and country of origin. The present study reports genotyping results for the entire available core collection. Each accession was genotyped with the Arachis_Axiom2 SNP array, yielding 14,430 high-quality, informative SNPs across the collection. Additionally, a subset of 253 accessions was replicated, using between two and five seeds per accession, to assess heterogeneity within these accessions. The genotypic diversity of the core is mostly captured in five genotypic clusters, which have some correspondence with botanical variety and market type. There is little genetic clustering by country of origin, reflecting peanut’s rapid global dispersion in the 18th and 19th centuries. A genetic cluster associated with the hypogaea/aequatoriana/peruviana varieties, with accessions coming primarily from Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador, is consistent with these having been the earliest landraces. The genetics, phenotypic characteristics, and biogeography are all consistent with previous reports of tetraploid peanut originating in Southeast Bolivia. Analysis of the genotype data indicates an early genetic radiation, followed by regional distribution of major genetic classes through South America, and then a global dissemination that retains much of the early genetic diversity in peanut. Comparison of the genotypic data relative to alleles from the diploid progenitors also indicates that subgenome exchanges, both large and small, have been major contributors to the genetic diversity in peanut.

Published: September 2020

The aim of this study was to analyze the ethnozoological knowledge that the inhabitants of the Bonifacio García community, Morelos, Mexico, conserve about wild vertebrate. Semi-structured interviews were applied to 30 key informants, through participant observation and guided tours, traces such as footprints, excreta, burrows and pelts and in vivo observation were researched for the identification of the mentioned species and the following indexes were calculated: value of diversity of use for each species (VDS) and of medicinal uses (DVM), as well as the diversity index of the treated diseases (DITD). The study recorded a total of 42 wild vertebrate species, of these 28 are used: mammals 39.3%, birds 32%, reptiles 18%, fish 7.1% and amphibia 3.6%. The main use values were alimentary (0.54), medicinal (0.46) and ornamental (0.43). The white-tailed deer, the black iguana and the rattlesnake registered 0.57 of VDS and a DVM of 0.19. The main diseases treated are cancer, respiratory and skin diseases and rheumatism with an DITD of 0.17. The animals are obtained by means of subsistence hunting in the fields (50%), croplands (43%) and backyards (7%), using most frequently shotguns as arms for capture. We conclude that the appropriation of vertebrates complements basic needs for food and health; therefore, ethnozoological knowledge must be integrated into public policies that enable the conservation and management of wild fauna in the community.

El objetivo fue determinar la preferencia termal de machos adultos de Cryphiops caementarius previamente aclimatados a diferentes temperaturas. Los camarones se colectaron del río Pativilca. En laboratorio, los camarones se aclimataron durante 30 días en nueve acuarios, cada uno con 10 recipientes circulares. En cada recipiente hubo un camarón (10 por acuario). Las temperaturas de aclimatación fueron de 19, 24 y 28 °C. El sistema de gradiente de temperatura (12 a 33 °C) fue una canaleta de PVC (3 m de longitud y 10 cm de profundidad) con 18 compartimentos. En un extremo de la canaleta se colocaron termorreguladores sumergibles (100W) y en el otro extremo, bolsas con hidrogel congeladas. La preferencia termal se determinó por el método agudo y las pruebas se realizaron entre las 08:00 y 14:00 h. Los camarones aclimatados a 24 °C se desplazaron a compartimentos cuyas temperaturas fueron más altas que la temperatura de aclimatación. Los camarones aclimatados a 24 °C se desplazaron a compartimentos cuyas temperaturas fueron alrededor de la temperatura de aclimatación. Los camarones aclimatados a 28 °C se desplazaron a compartimentos donde las temperaturas fueron más bajas que aquella de aclimatación. La preferencia termal de los camarones aclimatados a 19 °C fue de 22.7 °C, y la de los aclimatados a 24 °C fue de 24.8 °C, ambos sin diferencias significativas (p>0.05). En cambio, en los aclimatados a 28°C fue de 21.1 °C, que solo difirió (p<0.05) con los aclimatados a 19 °C. La preferencia termal final fue de 24.5 °C.

Critical degradation of Peruvian Plantcutter Phytotoma raimondii habitat in Lobitos, Talara
Authors: Flanagan Jeremy N. M.
Published: September 2020

The threatened Peruvian Plantcutter Phytotoma raimondii is a restricted-range species, endemic to the north coast of Peru. As a specialist herbivore, it is only found at sites with an adequate diversity of xerophytic flora. Although it is recognized that the species is under threat from habitat degradation and loss, little or no attempt has been made to measure these changes. This study catalogues the floral diversity and degradation of sites near Lobitos town, north of Talara, to determine the loss of this species´ habitat. Fieldwork was conducted between November 2019 and January 2020. All larger plants (with a diameter ≥ 5 cm near ground level) and all deforested Prosopis pallida (Algarrobo) stumps were georeferenced over a 10 ha plot at the main site of Cerro Blanco, c. 2 km south of Lobitos. The height, width and general health of each bush were noted, and the diameter of P. pallida stumps measured. Additionally, two smaller comparative plots, (0.3 and 0.75 ha) were surveyed c. 2.5 km to the north of Lobitos. Results point to an alarming and accelerated rate of degradation of this habitat type due to the deforestation and dieback of P. pallida: a key species in this habitat and important food source for the Plantcutter. Removal of P. pallida appears to affect the stability of sites, with other important species, e.g. Lycium boerhaviifolium (Palo Negro) dying off after logging. Without urgent remedial action, the Peruvian Plantcutter´s habitat will continue to become ever scarcer and more fragmented.

Published: September 2020

En este estudio se investigó la dieta de la lagartija neotropical Liolaemus polystictus en la región Huancavelica en los Andes centrales del Perú. Los ítems de la dieta fueron identificados en los contenidos estomacales de 54 muestras. El porcentaje de contenido volumétrico vegetal fue mayor al animal (V% contenido animal= 22.97 y V% contenido vegetal= 77.03), siendo el contenido animal representado por los artrópodos y con diez ítems alimentarios. Considerando solo el contenido animal, los coleópteros fueron los más representativos (N%= 32.05, FO=59.26 y V%= 41.36). Ninguna categoría animal mostró valores de IRI altos para ser considerados fundamentales, asimismo la selección de presas no mostro diferencias significativas entre machos, hembras y juveniles, ni entre los contenidos volumétricos vegetales entre adultos y juveniles, pero sí en los contenidos volumétricos vegetales entre machos y hembras. Se encontraron diferencias significativas entre la longitud, ancho y volumen de la presa y el ancho de la cabeza (AC) en machos de L. polystictus. Finalmente, proponemos la categoría de herbívoro para la especie L. polystictus, lo cual elevaría a ocho las especies del grupo L. montanus que se alimentan principalmente de vegetación.

The study used a phenomenological qualitative research. The data of the research were business unit labels found in the public areas to attract the consumers. All labels of millennial business units were qualitatively analyzed using syntactic techniques. The research revealed various labels of business units as products of language creativity leading to language confusion. This was a phenomenon deliberately chosen by millennial business owners to get commercial value for consumers. Based on these findings, the research concluded that the labelling of millennial business units could be categorized into several variations, namely: 1) naming millennial business units with the absorption of foreign languages, 2) spelling, and 3) meaning. Therefore, the research suggests to conduct socialization to the millennial business unit owners about the rules of language uses in public spaces so that the existence of the Indonesian language and the commercial side could go hand in hand.
The Pattern of Science Transmission: A Study on Ibnu Hajar al-Asqalani in Teaching and Writing
Authors: Misbah M. Ma'ruf
Published: September 2020

This article aimed to identify the transmission patterns of knowledge carried out by Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani in his intellectual activities. Since the article focused on historical topics, the historical method was applied by analyzing historical facts from its sources. The result obtained was the existence of transmission patterns of knowledge that had been carried out by him in intellectual activities, namely teaching and writing books. Through teaching activities, the target of the transmission of knowledge was the student. Many of his students who later succeeded in becoming scientists who famed. Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, of course, had a big contribution in delivering them to be scientists. On the other hand, through the activity of writing the book, the target of the transmission of knowledge was the reader. The various books that he wrote had been used as reading material in getting knowledge. As a conclusion, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani had chosen the most effective pattern in the activity of transmitting knowledge, including patterns that were not bound by time and location.

This study aimed to identify the level of achievement of Malaysian students in Arabic Morphology material on three areas, previous study period, gender, and student education specialization. This research was a field research conducted on Malaysian students studying Arabic, at the International Islamic University Matriculation Center (IIUMC) in Kuala Lumpur-Malaysia. This study concluded that previous study periods, gender, and education specialization had an important role in this identification that became a reference for the improvement of Arabic Morphology learning curriculum. Students who were first learning Arabic in IIUMC had a high success rate only in matching letters (Anita) with pronouns and fi'il al-madi Shahih, and Mahmuz, and pronouns fi'il al-mahi al-Mithal. As for those who have studied Arabic for 5 years, 6 years, and 7 years have a high level of ability also in matching letters (Anita) with the pronouns and fi'il al-madi al-ajwaf. The level of ability of male students was lower than female students in all aspects without exception in matching letters (Anita) with pronouns and verbs that begin with the letter Ta’. As for students specializing in Arabic, Sharia, and Humanities, Reveal Knowledge and the Qur'an, and Arabic had different levels of success in accordance with their specialization, such as students with Arabic specialization had a high level of success in all the discussions that had been mentioned, however, for students with other specialties not. From the findings, there are several suggestions, namely communicative approach, gradualism, adoption of the most frequent morphological positions, introduction of grammar through meaning, reconciliation of teaching methods, designing Morphology materials, and exchanging cognitive programs for teachers and students.
Conversational Implicature Analysis in “Kingdom of Heaven” Movie Script by William Monahan
Authors: Akmal Saiful , Yana Desy Ulfa
Published: September 2020

This study was designed to discover the types of conversational implicature and the non-observance maxim of cooperative principles expressed by the characters in the Kingdom of Heaven movie script by William Monahan. The theory of Grice was applied to analyze the conversational implicature, and the qualitative approach is used to explain the conversational implicatures. After analyzing the movie, we discovered particularized implicatures as the most frequent conversational implicatures in the movie script with 14 occurrences, followed by six occurrences of generalized implicatures. The finding also revealed that the frequent use of flouting maxim of quantity occurred more frequent with 14 out of the total 20 excerpts, with violating maxim found only three times in the movie script. From this study, both findings suggested the reason behind the frequent use of flouting maxim compare to violating maxim in conversational implicature is because the speaker assumes that they will be in a safe position, and then expect the hearer to understand their points, as the speaker did not intentionally manipulate or mislead the hearer.
Asbab Al-Nuzul as Historical Criticism on The Emergence of Revisionist Islam
Authors: Ghozali Mahbub
Published: September 2020

This study was aimed to construct early of Islamic history by using sources of asbab al-nuzul. The use of the history of asbab al-nuzul was expected to provide a critique of the revisionist’s view of the early of Islam. This study used two methods, the historical critical method and hermeneutics. Data on in this study focused on asbab al-nuzul al-Qur’an by al-Wahidi. The study concluded that the asbab al-nuzul, which seen as an exegesis device, basically was a historical device that provided historical narrative and context in the early days of Islam. Because of this, asbab al-nuzul was used by many commentators as a tool for understanding the Qur’an. This research found that Islam emerged in Hijaz with a number of narratives asbab al-nuzul that mentioned. Likewise, it was found the intersection of Islam with other religions indicated that Islam was not exclusive and was not a continuation of these religions. Islam was present in a mulitireligious society. Islam existed to restore the deviation of worship performed by the majority of the Arab. The criteria required in the asbab al-nuzul could be considered valid because they could fulfil the historical assumptions set by the revisionists.
Perceived Usefulness and Ease of Use as Predictors of Early-year Lawyers Satisfaction with Law Pavilion Electronic Law Reports
Authors: Adeyemi Ismail Olatunji , Issa Abdulwahab Olanrewaju
Published: September 2020

This study examined perceived usefulness and ease of use as predictors of early-year lawyers’ satisfaction with Law Pavilion Electronic Law Reports (LPELR). Descriptive survey design was adopted and questionnaire was the instrument used to collect data. Total population sampling was adopted to select sample size. A total of 300 copies of questionnaires were administered on the respondents. However, only 248 copies were returned completely filled and validated for the study. The Cronbach alpha reliability for the study is 0.782. It was found that there is strong positive relationship between perceived ease of use and perceived satisfaction and that there is positive relationship between perceived usefulness and perceived satisfaction. The study findings show that electronic law reports are easy to use and useful for early-year lawyers in their legal research. The study concludes that, as much as the law profession is conservative in nature, the use of e-law reports is making inroads to the profession. It was recommended that technical service provision by LPELR should be improved significantly. Above all, electronic law reports licensors should ensure that task importance of electronic law reports is given utmost consideration when they are designing the system qualities of e-law reports.
The History and Contribution of Philosophy in Islamic Thought
Authors: Abror Robby Habiba
Published: September 2020

The purpose of this study was to provide information about the Islamic philosophical discourse that contributed to the world of Islamic education in particular and Islamic intellectual property in general. This research used a qualitative method with a literature review in collecting material objects. This research found that the Islamic philosophy originated from the Greek philosophy, especially the Peripatetic tradition and its Neo-Platonism style, but were not imitations of it. The Islamic philosophy that grew from a distinctive Islamic culture gave birth to authentic intellectual creativity products in the history of Islamic thought and civilization. The Islamic philosophy was actually a mixture of Aristotelianism and Neo-Platonism since Greek works had been translated into Arabic and spread across the Arabian Peninsula during the Abbasid Dynasty in the Islamic empire. However, the Islamic philosophy could harmonize Aristotle and Plato; and successfully reconciled reasons and revelations. It can be concluded that the Islamic philosophy was not stagnant, but was dynamic and always actual in producing philosophical ideas that could provide solutions for this era.

Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) is a global threat to public health. Knowledge about the occurrence of vanA-carrying enterococci in broiler and environmental samples is important as antibiotic resistance can be transferred to human bacteria. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of VRE in broiler cloacal and environmental (house) samples and to genotype the isolates. In this study, 350 swabs were collected from broiler farms. All samples were plated onto enterococcus selective agar containing 6 mg/L vancomycin and 64 mg/L ceftazidime. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were determined for vancomycin and teicoplanin. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) was isolated from 6 out of 300 (2%) broiler cloacal samples and 13 out of 50 (26%) house samples. All E. faecium isolates had vanA genes. All VREfm isolates (19 isolates) were confirmed to be 95% similar to each other. In conclusion, although 20 years have passed since the ban on avoparcin in Turkey, the present study shows that VREfm isolates are still present in broiler production and especially in broiler houses, and most importantly, a major VREfm clone was isolated from broiler cloacal and house samples.

In this study, feed naturally containing Fusarium mycotoxins was fed to gilts during the perinatal period, and the effects on the thymus were investigated in one-week-old piglets. Twenty gilts were divided into equal control (0.26 mg deoxynivalenol, DON) and experimental (5.08 mg DON, 0.09 mg zearalenone and 21.61 mg fusaric acid per kg of feed) groups. One suckling piglet from each litter (n = 20) was sacrificed at one week of age to obtain thymus samples for further analysis. The cortex to medulla ratio of the thymus was morphometrically analysed using NIS Elements BR (Nikon) software. Paraffin-embedded thymus sections were stained to quantify apoptosis (with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labelling – TUNEL method), cellular proliferation (Ki-67) and macrophages (MAC 387). The results showed that the thymus cortex (P = 0.023) to medulla (P = 0.023) ratio was significantly lower in the experimental group. The number of apoptotic cells (cortex, P = 0.010, medulla, P = 0.001) and the number of proliferating cells in the thymus cortex (P = 0.001) and medulla (P < 0.001) were significantly higher in the experimental group. Our results indicate that feeding Fusarium mycotoxins to a parent animal during the perinatal period induces significant alterations in the thymus of one-week-old piglets, which indicates an immunosuppressive effect in piglets.
