Authors: Satya Mutia Tri , Rahayu Novi Kadarini
Published: June 2020

Tantangan yang dihadapi UMKM saat ini adalah meningkatkan produktifitas dan daya saing agar dapat meningkarkan pangsa pasarnya, serta mendiversifikasi dan mendiferensiasikan produknya di pasar dalam negeri maupun luar negeri. Permasalahan umum yang dihadapi UMKM, antara lain adanya keterbatasan kepemilikan dan akses permodalan, keterbatasan pemasaran dan promosi, serta kemitraan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah membuat strategi iklan yang dilakukan oleh UMKM. Dimana sebelum membuat strategi, iklan diklasifikasikan sesuai dengan karakteristiknya dengan menggunakan analisis cluster. Dengan hasil analisis dan strategi ini setidaknya membantu para UMKM untuk membuat strategi dalam mempromosikan produknya sehingga akan lebih dikenal lagi oleh konsumen lebih luas dan daampaknya akan meningkatkan penjualan dan keuntungan. Urgensi penelitian sangat penting sekali, mengingat UMKM sangat lemah sekali dalam hal promosi. Strategi promosi yang dilakukan kadang tidak tepat, karena pelaku usaha kurang mengenal karakteristik setiap iklan yang dibuat. Penelitian ini belum pernah ada yang melakukan, jadi ini merupakan penelitian yang pertama yang hasilnya diharapkan bsa membantu para UMKM dalam membuat strategi iklan yang lebih menarik.

Tapping into the Educational Potential of Facebook: Encouraging Out-of-Class Peer Collaboration in Foreign Language Learning
Authors: Peeters Ward
Published: June 2020

Due to their social framework and often informal character, social network sites such as Facebook are believed to promote out-of-class learning by encouraging learners to participate in online peer collaboration. Yet, the evidence remains inconclusive when it comes to the effectiveness and students’ appreciation of collaborating via social network sites, which indicates the need for further research. The first part of the present paper discusses the ‘out-of-class’ use of a closed Facebook group by analysing the online communication behaviour of 119 first-year foreign language English majors at the University of Antwerp (Belgium) participating in a writing course. The assessed data (more than 4,000 Facebook posts and a post-questionnaire) suggest that the socio-communicative context of a Facebook group motivates students to learn collaboratively beyond the physical classroom walls. The remaining part of this paper investigates which conclusions can be drawn from this for increasing the effectiveness of independent self-access modules and study programmes blending self-access and classroom learning. Here, results hint at the fact that students attach particular importance to social network sites as support networks for sharing positive and critical learning experiences and language learning tips.
Outbreak Investigation of Monkeypox in Akwa Ibom State: A Matched Case Control Study 14th - 24th October 2019
Authors: Chieloka Okoli Solomon , Amao Lateefat Kikelomo , Akinrogbe Jessica Toyin , Iniobong Joshua-Inyang , Burga Joel
Published: June 2020

Background: Monkeypox (MPX) is a viral zoonoses characterized by pustular rashes similar to smallpox. It is endemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo and West Africa. The outbreak of MPX was first reported outside Africa in 2003 following horizontal infection of Prairie dogs by imported African rodents. Two distinct clades are known, the Central (more severe) and the West African clade (Mild). In Nigeria, the first confirmed case of MPX was in a 4-year old child in 1971. This was followed by a lull of 39 years. Since September 2017, sporadic outbreaks have been reported in 17 states across Nigeria. As at week 36 of 2019, Akwa Ibom reported ten suspected cases with one lab-confirmed.

Methods: We revised MPX case definition and constituted a team comprising of State DSNO, Laboratory and RRT from NCDC. We identified retrospective cases from the state line list, their contacts traced and samples collected. We carried out a case-control study on the 3 cases in Mkpat Enin LGA. Twenty-one (21) pre-tested (KAP) questionnaire was administered to health care workers (HCW) and community members to access knowledge awareness and risk perception of MPX. HCWs were trained, and community sensitization carried out. We accessed the capacity of IDH Uyo to manage MPX cases and conducted a case-control study to determine the odds of association of MPX with individuals in contact with confirmed MPX cases at Mkpat Enin LGA.

Results: Eight new cases identified during active case search were negative of MPX. The level of awareness of MPX amongst HCW was high (n=20); pre-test score 16.5(85%) and 18 (90%) posttest. Knowledge of clinical presentation of MPX amongst HCW was also high 17(85%). There was a high-risk perception of MPX 18(90%), assessment of best practice 16 (76%) and proper sample collection 15 (75%). CM awareness of MPX (n=20) was at 12(62%), health-seeking behaviour at 2(11%) and the consumption of giant rats and monkeys at 12(86%). There was a weak association of transmission of infection by MPX cases to individuals in contact with them {(OR=0.333, (0.0673, 1.6516), Fisher exact 0.1756}.  We identified a general apathy by HCW (Nurses) at the IDH Uyo to accept and manage MPX cases.

Conclusion: The high HCW and community awareness negates the poor health-seeking behaviour of members of Ekpat Enin community due to paucity of funds to access health care or rejection by HF within the area. Monkeys and giant rats are delicacies high within the community hence a risk factor in MPX zoonoses. Consequently, individuals who consume such delicacies or come into contact with confirmed cases are at times likely to contact MPX.
Structural Changes in Tourism Market That Highlight the Product Specialization of Travel Intermediaries
Authors: Mihajlović Iris
Published: June 2020

Changes in society and the economy have a strong impact on specialization in tourism.The impact of structural changes in tourism, on the level of specialization of business of travel intermediaries, was analyzed in this paper. The impact of social changes intensifies the need for potential transformation of the role and the postion of travel intermediaries. In order to quantify this impact, the results of a survey conducted on a sample of tourists who stayed in the destination of Dubrovnik were used.This primary research was related to the sample of (400) respondents . In this paper structural changes in the tourism market are shown in results of the direction of specialization of programs of products according to market requests, area of vertical integrations, and an area of characteristics of package tours. Thus, contribution is made in an important area of the necessities for specialization of services in tourism. The results showed that the attitudes of tourists about the importance of the health and recreation program statistically significantly affect the specialization of the program of travel agencies. Considering vertical integrations findings show that : a) modality of booking services via travel agencies statistically significantly increases the likelihood of choosing of the specialized program of the travel agency ; b) also, the booking via Internet statistically significantly increases the likelihood of choosing the specialized program of the package tours. The results of this paper point to the need for constant adaptation to the requirements of tourists, where the reason for the adjustment could be found in a way of doing business based on internal and external changes in the environment.These changes include changes in tourist's style of living, specific attitudes towards reasons for travel, leisure and the way of communication using innovative tools when booking their services. Thus, the role of travel intermediaries is reviewed and examined by varibles that define their future market position.

Oxime radicals: generation, properties and application in organic synthesis
Authors: Krylov Igor B , Paveliev Stanislav A , Budnikov Alexander S , Terent’ev Alexander O
Published: June 2020

N-Oxyl radicals (compounds with an N–O• fragment) represent one of the richest families of stable and persistent organic radicals with applications ranging from catalysis of selective oxidation processes and mechanistic studies to production of polymers, energy storage, magnetic materials design and spectroscopic studies of biological objects. Compared to other N-oxyl radicals, oxime radicals (or iminoxyl radicals) have been underestimated for a long time as useful intermediates for organic synthesis, despite the fact that their precursors, oximes, are extremely widespread and easily available organic compounds. Furthermore, oxime radicals are structurally exceptional. In these radicals, the N–O• fragment is connected to an organic moiety by a double bond, whereas all other classes of N-oxyl radicals contain an R2N–O• fragment with two single C–N bonds. Although oxime radicals have been known since 1964, their broad synthetic potential was not recognized until the last decade, when numerous selective reactions of oxidative cyclization, functionalization, and coupling mediated by iminoxyl radicals were discovered. This review is focused on the synthetic methods based on iminoxyl radicals developed in the last ten years and also contains some selected data on previous works regarding generation, structure, stability, and spectral properties of these N-oxyl radicals. The reactions of oxime radicals are classified into intermolecular (oxidation by oxime radicals, oxidative C–O coupling) and intramolecular. The majority of works are devoted to intramolecular reactions of oxime radicals. These reactions are classified into cyclizations involving C–H bond cleavage and cyclizations involving a double C=C bond cleavage.

Introduction. Interventional cardiac procedures are often associated with high patient exposure and therefore require special care in protecting patients from radiation-induced effects.

Materials and methods. A retrospective study of typical patients’doses was performed in nine hospitals, with a total number of fourteen angiography systems. The typical values for kerma-area product (KAP), cumulative dose (CD) and fluoroscopy time (FT) for two of the most commonly performed procedures - percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary arteriography (CA), were calculated and compared with the Bulgarian National Diagnostic Reference Levels (NDRL). Data analysis, regarding the risk of radiation-induced skin effects due to interventional cardiac procedures, was performed.

Aim. 1) to present and analyze the typical KAP values for PCI and CA procedures in cardiology departments with high workload and to compare them with the NDRL; 2) to compare the patient doses with the follow-up levels published in Ordinance 2, to identify patients at risk for radiation-induced effects.

Results. The results show that typical values for PCI and CA procedures for some of the angiography systems are higher than the NDRL. In all investigated departments there are patients with at least one exceeded follow-up level for PCI.

Conclusions. The results show a potential for optimization in the departments with both high or very low typical dose or FT values. No radiation-induced effect was observed in the followed-up group of patients. The introduction of procedure with "Instruction to the patient after an interventional cardiac procedure(s) with greater complexity and a long fluoroscopy time" for patient follow-up and its regular implementation into the routine clinical practice will help for timely diagnosis and treatment of radiation-induced skin effects after cardiac procedures under fluoroscopy control.

Published: June 2020

We describe a new species of arboreal microhylid frog, genusPlatypelis, from northeastern Madagascar and report the expansion of distribution ranges of two other species.Platypelis laetussp. nov.is small to medium-sized (24.3–25.6 mm snout-vent length) compared to otherPlatypelis, exhibits a greenish colored throat and was found in bamboo forest of the Sorata Massif. Its advertisement call consists of a single short tonal note repeated at regular intervals in long call series. Based on DNA sequences of a fragment of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene, the new species was placed in a clade withPlatypelis olgaefrom the Tsaratanana Massif, and with two other, unconfirmed candidate species from the Sorata Massif and from Andravory, herein namedPlatypelissp. Ca12 and Ca13. Molecular divergences among these lineages were substantial, amounting to 7.6‒8.1% uncorrected 16S p-distance to the closest nominal species,P. olgae, from which the new species is also distinguished by a lack of allele sharing in the nuclear RAG-1 gene. We also provide new records ofPlatypelis alticolaandP. tsaratananaensisfrom the Sorata Massif, supported by molecular analysis. This confirms a wider distribution of these two species that previously were considered to be endemic to the Tsaratanana Massif. However, their populations in Sorata were characterized by a certain degree of genetic differentiation from Tsaratanana populations suggesting they require more detailed taxonomic assessment.

Authors: Araque Gustavo Andrés , Gómez Vásquez Mauricio , Vélez Juan Pablo , Suárez Hernández Albeiro
Published: June 2020

The industrial gasification operations sector has transformed the logistics of industrial processes in the production, distribution and supply of gas to customers, as a result of increased demand and market competitiveness. In the health sector, this type of behavior occurs on a daily basis, in order to meet the demand for medical gas (O2) supply in hospitals. The present investigation offers a proposal for methodological-investigative-mixed development, in relation to the study of times and methods focused on a gas supply company, in an effort to standardize processes. This is presented in five main phases: 1) Initial production diagnosis, with the analysis of the current productive behavior; 2) characterization and planning of the production proposal of the company being investigated; 3) purification and statistical treatment of information, analysis and sample intervention; 4) matrix construction and generation of production standards; 5) analysis of the results and presentation of the value proposition, through the application of engineering strategies and the cost-benefit ratio. The results obtained from the present investigation made it possible to optimize the operational times of the gas inspection process, filling of rack cylinders and mobile gas pumping by 14.72%, 6.46% and 8.02%, respectively.
Mapping Immune System Dysfunction to Provide Clinically Actionable Biomarkers and to Understand Psychiatric Pathology
Authors: Mason Brittany L.
Published: June 2020

The immune system is a complex, dynamic regulatory network that affects many aspects of human health and dysfunction. This system has been implicated in various psychiatric diseases, including schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. These psychiatric diseases also seem to be comorbid with inflammatory diseases or disease processes, including autoimmune disease. Infectious agents have been hypothesized as a causal factor in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder for many years, with several identified links with infectious disease exposure and inappropriate immune responses. Autoantibodies targeted at neurological processes are strongly implicated as pathological processes, at least in a subset of disorders, the most likely of which being psychosis. The interactions between immune processes and psychiatric illness are broad and may be causal, but there is still much to be understood about how immune processes can affect the expression of psychiatric illnesses and how immune markers may become clinically relevant biomarkers.

Compressive sampling (CS) has been commonly employed in the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to accurately reconstruct sparse and compressive signals. In a MR image, a large amount of encoded information focuses on the origin of the k-space. For the 2D Cartesian K-space MRI, under-sampling the frequency-encoding (kx) dimension does not affect to the acquisition time, thus, only the phase-encoding (ky) dimension can be exploited. In the traditional random under-sampling approach, it acquired Gaussian random measurements along the phaseencoding (ky) in the k-space. In this paper, we proposed a hybrid under-sampling approach; the number of measurements in (ky) is divided into two portions: 70% of the measurements are for random under-sampling and 30% are for definite under-sampling near the origin of the k-space. The numerical simulation consequences pointed out that, in the lower region of the under-sampling ratio r, both the average error and the universal image quality index of the appointed scheme are drastically improved up to 55 and 77% respectively as compared to the traditional scheme. For the first time, instead of using highly computational complexity of many advanced reconstruction techniques, a simple and efficient CS method based simulation is proposed for MRI reconstruction improvement. These findings are very useful for designing new MRI data acquisition approaches for reducing the imaging time of current MRI systems.
Storyworlds and the Semiotic Rules of Narrative Imagination: Peirce and Cassirer as a Starting Point for the Study of Literary World Experience
Authors: Keunen Bart
Published: June 2020

With the help of Peirce and Cassirer, this article embeds storyworld theory in a broader phenomenology of narrative imagination. A first step is the semiotic description of narrative imagination; storyworld elements come about through the laws that Peirce attributes to all semiotic processes (section 1). Besides, Peirce’s insights are used to show that those elements significantly differ according to their phenomenological or epistemological nature. From this description of semiotic processes, a matrix of nine different signs will be derived (section 2) that correspond to nine distinct operations of imagination. The hypothesis is that it suffices to attribute a distinct function to each of the nine signs to adequately describe the experience of a storyworld.
Spominska retorika v literarni esejistiki Josepha Rotha
Authors: Birk Matjaž
Published: June 2020

Razprava z izhodišč teorije spominske retorike (A. Erll) osvetljuje pripovedne strategije in korelacijo med narativizacijo kolektivnega spomina in literarno reprezentacijo identitet in kulturnih praks vzhodnoevropskega judovstva v Juden auf Wanderschaft (Judje na popotovanju), osrednjem literarnoesejističnem delu z judovsko tematiko avstrijsko-judovskega pisatelja Josepha Rotha (1894–1939). Avtor s povezovanjem izkustvenega in antagonističnega spominskoretoričnega načina, ki nastopata v funkcionalnem sozvočju z monumentalnim, legitimira kulturne prakse vzhodnoevropskega judovstva, umeščene med duhovnim in čutnim. S kritično dekonstrukcijo zahodnoevropskih ideoloških diskurzov istočasno razkriva judovskokulturne samoprevare in v prepletu antagonističnega z refleksivnim načinom senzibilizira bralca za dojemanje »drugega stanja« in konstrukcijskega značaja kulture. Premik spominskoretoričnega težišča s kontrastnega na korespondenčnega modelira človečnost v nadetnični razsežnosti in jo izpostavi kot idejni postulat za odnos do vzhodnega judovstva kot komplementarne tujosti (O. Schäffter). Kljub kulturnim binarnostim kot produktu antagonistične spominske retorike in historičnemu pesimizmu o usodi Judov, ponujajo hibridne identitetne konstrukcije bralcu prepričljive signale za razkrivanje transdiferenc in možnosti idejnega večglasja v medkulturni komunikaciji.

Nutritional developmental history and its consequences for reproductive success in Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
Authors: Young Yvonne , Long Tristan A.F.
Published: June 2020

The characteristics of the juvenile developmental environment of an individual can have many important consequences for their adult reproductive success as it may shape the development and expression of phenotypes that are relevant to the later operation of sexual selection. Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an economically important invasive pest species that lays its eggs in many types of soft fruits and potentially experiences large intrapopulation spatial and temporal variation in its nutritional developmental environments. Here, we examine whether the larval nutritional developmental environment influences D. suzukii mate choice, egg production, and offspring performance. Using D. suzukii raised on diets differing in their nutritional quality, we examined mating preferences, fecundity, and offspring survivorship in “no-choice,” “female choice,” and “male choice” reproductive contexts. We found evidence for both adaptive and nonadaptive mate choice behaviours associated with the phenotypes of D. suzukii that had developed in different nutritional environments. These results reveal the complex nature of the relationship between the developmental environment and individual reproductive success in D. suzukii, which has important potential implications for future management plans involving this species.

Recent studies indicate that glucose metabolism is altered in rheumatoid arthritis. We hypothesize that Pkm2, as a key regulatory enzyme of glycolysis pathway, triggers the activation of macrophages (Mφ), which results in proinflammatory cytokine production during the arthritis progress. In this study, Pkm2 was found to be overexpressed in ED1-positive Mφ in spleens and synovial tissues from arthritic rats via immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and quantitative RT-PCR. To reveal the role of Pkm2, Dark Agouti rats were treated with either Pkm2 enzyme inhibitor shikonin or the RNA interference plasmids of Pkm2 and negative control plasmids, respectively, via i.p. injection. Pkm2 intervention could alleviate the severity of pristane-induced arthritis in aspects of the macroscopic arthritis score, perimeter changes of midpaw, and the synovitis and destruction of the bone and cartilage as well as reduce the ED1 and p-Stat1–positive cell population in rat synovial tissues. Silencing Pkm2 by RNA interference in classical activated rat and mouse Mφ resulted in less Tnf-α, Il-1β production via Stat1 signaling. Collectively, Pkm2 is highly expressed in ED1-positive Mφ of spleens and synovial tissues from arthritic rats and promotes Mφ activation via Stat1 signaling. Pkm2 might be a promising selective metabolic target molecule for rheumatoid arthritis treatment.
Vampires that grew sick of Dracula
Authors: Bodevan Erica Sudário
Published: June 2020

Bram Stocker’s Dracula (1897) is considered a cornerstone when the subject is vampires. Although there were important works written before Stocker’s, such as “The Vampyre” (1819) by John Polidori and Carmilla (1872) by Sheridan Le Fanu, it was Dracula that established a vampiric genre and influenced countless works that came afterwards. Vampires in the contemporary, however, present some primordial differences when compared to the 19th century Count. Their relation with humans, who once were seen just as prey, evolves in the 20th and 21st century. It can be argued that these differences are due to the age those blood sucking monsters were created and “live” among society.

Educação ambiental e ensino de Ciências e Biologia: tensões e diálogos
Authors: Lima Maria Jacqueline Girão Soares de
Published: June 2020

Neste artigo, apresento tensões e diálogos na interface entre a Educação Ambiental (EA) e o Ensino de Ciências (ECB) e seus desdobramentos na escola, problematizando tradições curriculares que limitam e hierarquizam as interações entre os dois campos. Identifico características epistemológicas e curriculares de uma EA escolar que reúne um conjunto de práticas e conhecimentos sui generis e, a partir de experiências na pesquisa e na extensão, ressalto a necessidade de novas interlocuções teórico-metodológicas para aprofundar o diálogo entre a EA e o ECB e buscar novas perspectivas de análise. Trago o enfoque Ciência, Tecnologia, Sociedade e Ambiente (CTSA) do Ensino de Ciências para propor uma Educação Ambiental/científica e uma formação docente críticas, potencializadas pela extensão universitária.

Published: June 2020

Muitos questionamentos a respeito da formação do professor para a educação básica requerem conhecimentos, habilidades e desenvoltura no ensino. Nesse contexto, o estágio supervisionado, na formação inicial de professores, proporciona uma aproximação com a realidade escolar. O professor no espaço do estágio tem a possibilidade de se reconhecer como sujeito que não apenas reproduz o conhecimento, mas também pode tornar seu próprio trabalho de sala de aula em um espaço de práxis docente e de transformação humana. Neste contexto, trazemos uma pesquisa quali-quantitativa para analisar concepções de educandos sobre ensinar e o ensino de ciências, As análises das respostas dos educandos mostram que suas concepções se inter-relacionam, já que a educação é construída através de vários âmbitos.

Minting, State, and Economy in the Visigothic Kingdom
Authors: Kurt Andrew
Published: June 2020

This study of the Visigothic kingdom's monetary system in southern Gaul and Hispania from the fifth century through the Muslim invasion of Spain fills a major gap in the scholarship of late antiquity. Examining all aspects of the making of currency, it sets minting in relation to questions of state, monarchical power, administration and apparatus, motives for money production, and economy. In the context of the later Roman Empire and its successor states in the West, the minting and currency of the Visigoths reveal shared patterns as well as originality. The analysis brings both economic life and the needs of the state into sharper focus, with significant implications for the study of an essential element in daily life and government. This study combines an appreciation for the surprising level of sophistication in the Visigothic minting system with an accessible approach to a subject which can seem complex and abstruse.

The phenomenon of martyrdom is more than 2000 years old but, as contemporary events show, still very much alive. Martyrdom: Canonisation, Contestation and Afterlives examines the canonisation, contestation and afterlives of martyrdom and connects these with cross-cultural acts and practices of remembrance. Martyrdom appeals to the imagination of many because it is a highly ambiguous spectacle with thrilling deadly consequences. Imagination is thus a vital catalyst for martyrdom, for martyrs become martyrs only because others remember and honour them as such. This memorialisation occurs through rituals and documents that incorporate and re-interpret traditions deriving from canonical texts. The canonisation of martyrdom generally occurs in one of two ways: First, through ritual commemoration by communities of inside readers, listeners, viewers and participants, who create and recycle texts, re-interpreting them until the martyrs ultimately receive a canonical status, or second, through commemoration as a means of contestation by competing communities who perceive these same people as traitors or terrorists. By adopting an interdisciplinary orientation and a cross-cultural approach, this book goes beyond both the insider admiration of martyrs and the partisan rejection of martyrdoms and concisely synthesises key interpretive questions and themes that broach the canonised, unstable and contested representations of martyrdom as well as their analytical connections, divergences and afterlives in the present.

Through a series of in-depth case studies, the contributors to this volume investigate the relationships between film/television, private and public actors of the health sector and economic developments. The book explores the performative and interactive power of these visual media on individual health understandings, perceptions and practices. Body, Capital and Screens aims to better understand how bodily health has evolved as a form of capital throughout the century.
Fosterage in Medieval Ireland
Authors: O'Donnell Thomas
Published: June 2020

Fosterage was a central feature of medieval Irish society, yet the widespread practice of sending children to another family to be cared for until they reached adulthood is a surprisingly neglected topic. Where it has been discussed, fosterage is usually conceptualised and treated as a purely legal institution. This work seeks to outline the emotional impact of growing up within another family. What emerges is a complex picture of deeply felt emotional ties binding the foster family together. These emotions are unique to the social practice of fosterage, and we see the language and feelings originating within the foster family being used to describe other relationships such as those in the monastery or between humans and animals. This book argues that the more we understand how people felt in fosterage, the more we understand medieval Ireland.
