Published: May 2020

The effects of sprouting on proximate, mineral composition and functional properties of white sorghum bicolor and pennisetum glaucum were evaluated. The sorghum bicolor and pennisetum glaucum kernels obtained from Kings local market in Akure Ondo State, Nigeria and identified in the department of Agronomy Federal University of Technology, Akure were sorted and divided into two portions. The first portion was soaked for 24 hours after which it was spread on trays lined with doth and kept wet by frequent spraying of water each morning and evening for 2 days. The sprouted maize grains were oven dried at 60°C to constant weight and milled into flour. The second portion was processed into flour without sprouting, using the same method. Each of the portions was analyzed for proximate, mineral compositions and functional properties using standard methods. Sprouting of both sorghum bicolor and pennisetum glaucum grains resulted in significant increase (p<0.05) in crude protein, crude fibre, and ash content. The moisture content of sorghum bicolor increases with sprouting while that of pennisetum glaucum decreases. This decrease in the moisture content of pennisetum glaucum with sprouting implies an increase shelf life. Increase in solubility, water absorption and oil absorption capacity observed with sprouting in both sample helps in increasing the palability of the food The results showed that the sprouting process improved the nutrient composition and enhanced the functional properties of both sorghum bicolor and pennisetum glaucum with the pennisetum glaucum being found to be slightly better in terms of shelf life.

Published: May 2020

This work is aimed at applying holonic control system to poultry house travelling hopper feeders with the comparative cost analysis. It adopts HCBA which is suitable for controlling the reconfigurable automated processes. The feeder consists of parts for different types of poultry feeds dispensable from the feed reservoirs and carried around by travelling hoppers along the feed carts. The simulations were carried out using MATLAB and SIMATIC software. The responses of the speed of each traveling hopper were determined to be 1.04 sec, 1.91 sec and 0.0841% for rise time, settling time and percentage overshoot respectively. The parameters of the embedded controller in STEP 7 CONT_C FB41 data block translate to a constant gain of 10, integral time constant of 100 ms and derivative time constant of 280 ms. Visual results from the HMI show the system’s ability for customization, cooperation and autonomy for implementation of any poultry feeding program. The cost analysis shows that it is profitable for farm capacity of 10,000 birds and above with low labour cost and average annual energy cost of about N708,000.

Dehydrin (DHN) is known to play an important role in plant response and adaptation to abiotic stresses (drought, high salinity, cold, heat, etc.). Previous research reported the increased expression of DHN in sugarcane stems exposed to drought stress for 15 days which may be controlled by its corresponding stress inducible promoter. The DHN promoter was succesfully isolated from sugarcane variety PSJT 941 (Pr-1DHNSo) and was cloned to pBI121 expression vector fused to a β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene.  The aim of this research was the functional testing of the Pr-1DHNSo promoter through transformation into tobacco plant treated with in vitro drought stress. Genetic transformation of Pr-1DHNSo construct was conducted by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The transformed tobacco was then subjected to drought stress treatment using 40% PEG 6000  for five sequential incubations (0, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours). The GUS assay reveal that the transformed tobacco treated with drought stress showed a blue color denoting GUS activity in leaf, stem and root tissues and this expression increased along with the length of the drought treatment. The analysis of gusA gene using real time-qPCR normalized to the L25 reference gene also showed that the expression increased in line with the length of time of drought stress.  The results presented in this study indicated that the Pr-1DHNSo promoter from sugarcane was expressed and induced by drought stress treatment in tobacco.

Effect of Galvannealed Coating Evolution during Press Hardening on RSW Weldability
Authors:   American Welding Society, HAN X. , RAZMPOOSH M. H. , BIRO E. , ZHOU Y. , MACWAN A.
Published: May 2020

Press-hardening steels (PHSs) are used in modern passenger vehicles to increase part strength while reducing vehicle weight to meet both environmental and safety regulations. To prevent oxidization and decarburization during heat treatment, some PHSs are coated with Zn (galvanized or galvannealed). Heating during the press-hardening process drives interdiffusion of Zn from the coating and the Fe from the steel substrate, forming a diffusion layer composed of -Fe phase (a Zn-Fe solid solution). The electrical resistance of the diffusion layer is a function of its thickness and Zn-Fe composition. Both the diffusion layer thickness and the Zn-Fe composition are dependent on the initial coating thickness and heat-treatment time/temperature conditions. Changes to the heat-treatment process shift the resistance spot welding process window by altering the resistance behavior of the material. If the shift in the process window is not accounted for during assembly welding, the welds produced may either be too small or exhibit expulsion, both of which will reduce the strength of the weld. This study showed increasing heat-treatment time shifted the process window toward lower current. A final combined processing window of 1.5 kA, which is suitable for industrial application, was obtained when taking into account the variation in heat-treatment time. The tensile shear performance was not affected by the heat treatment, as increased softening in the heat-affected zone at longer heat-treatment time canceled the strength gain from increasing nugget size.
La italianidad en las letras

This article aims to analyse the way in which the descendants of Italian settlers living in southern Brazil have expressed, through writing, their belonging to the “Italian world” as a result of the migratory process of their ancestors what happened in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This is a growing literature in post-1975 Brazil when the centenary of Italian immigration in the country was commemorated. Written in the form of memories, family stories, accounts, romances, poems, recipe books and other formats, this literature is the scenario in which gender, generation, class and other issues take a voice.
Alterità e inesperienza nell’opera di Don DeLillo
Authors: Cinquegrani Alessandro
Published: May 2020

Don DeLillo is one of the most important interpreters of the West. One of the key points of his work is the analysis of the effects of the “end of the history” (Fukuyama). The protagonist of Underworld says “I long for days of disorder”. History is represented in the first part of his works (Running Dog, White Noise) as Nazism and Hitler’s legacy, while later, in Cosmopolis and in Zero K, it is embodied by immigrant characters. This study analyes how these figures become symbolic images within the framework of the author’s thought.
Tiziano Terzani e l’identità proibita
Authors: Zava Alberto
Published: May 2020

In the travel journalism by Tiziano Terzani the concepts of boundary and identity are often declinated and interpreted differently, and not intended in official perspectives; the attitude of the travelling writer-journalist is always oriented towards a full involvement in the local traditions and characteristics, with the manifest intention of canceling – albeit for the limited time of the journey – the “otherness” or, more precisely, take it, adopting the point of view of others. The paradox – and direct experience of the Tuscan journalist – occurs when, once the distance is cancelled, the country of adoption ends up rejecting him: a story of love and attraction for the Eastern world – in particular the Chinese one – thematic core of many travel reports by Terzani and litmus paper of his own travel journalism.

Published: May 2020

Objective: Evaluate intra- and inter-observer variation in the presence of enthesophytes in patients with insertional Achilles tendinopathy on radiographic (X-ray) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. Methods: We selected X-ray and MRI images of 20 patients diagnosed with an injury. We sent a questionnaire to five foot and ankle surgeons and five radiologists. We obtained answers about diagnosis accuracy and the presence of insertional enthesophytes (bone spurs). Results: Intra-observer agreement with regards to diagnosis accuracy in the MRI analysis was a K of 0.77 (0.62 to 1.00), while in the X-ray analysis, the K was 0.95 (0.77 to 1.00). Intra-observer agreement on the presence of enthesophytes in the MRI analysis had a K coefficient of 0.90 (0.68 to 1.00) and intra-observer agreement in the X-ray of 0.93 (0.86 to 1.00). The evaluation of inter-observer agreement on the diagnosis accuracy had a K coefficient between 0.09 and 0.20. Inter-observer agreement regarding the presence of enthesophytes was a K value between 0.59 and 0.63 for the MRI and a K between 0.81 and 0.82 for the X-ray results. Conclusion: Intra-observer values for diagnosis accuracy of the MRI and X-ray tests indicated strong to almost perfect agreement, similar to the intra-observer values for evaluation of the presence of enthesophytes, but the X-ray had better agreement. In both tests, intra-observer agreement on the presence of osteophytes was weak in comparison to inter-observer agreement, yet in the inter observer evaluation of the presence of enthesophytes, the X-ray agreement was greater than the MRI values. Level of Evidence III; Diagnostic Study.

Funny but aversive: A large-scale survey of the emotional response to Covid-19 humor in the Italian population during the lockdown
Authors: Bischetti Luca , Canal Paolo , Bambini Valentina
Published: May 2020

We often see an upsurge of humor inspired by tragic circumstances: this happened also during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) outbreak. However, little is known about the emotional response to tragedy-triggered humor, let alone Covid-19 humor. With a large-scale survey completed during the early stages of Italy’s lockdown, we studied the appreciation (funniness and aversiveness) of different formats of Covid-19 humor shared on social media. Results of an analysis of the role of demographic, personality, and psychological distance factors with linear mixed models showed that Covid-19 humor lacks a “signature” of funniness, but displays a mark of aversiveness. Among demographics, age and gender were key factors: with increasing age and in women, Covid-19 humor was judged as more aversive. Individuals using humor to cope with uneasy circumstances judged Covid-19 humor as funnier and less aversive. Furthermore, the perceived risk of infection amplified Covid-19 humor aversiveness, while kilometrical distance from the first Italian contagion hotspot raised the amusement in global terms. These findings expand our knowledge about dark humor and should raise awareness of the great variation in the emotional impact of Covid-19 humor and of the need to ponder where and with whom to share the laugh about the pandemic.
Feasibility of Unconscious Instrumental Conditioning: A Registered Replication
Authors: Skora Lina , Livermore James J A , Dienes Zoltan , Seth Anil , Scott Ryan Bradley
Published: May 2020

The extent to which high-level, complex functions can proceed unconsciously has been a topic of considerable debate. While unconscious processing has been demonstrated for a range of low-level processes, from feature integration to simple forms of conditioning and learning, theoretical contributions suggest that increasing complexity requires conscious access. Here, we focus our attention on instrumental conditioning, which has been previously shown to proceed without stimulus awareness. Yet, instrumental conditioning also involves integrating information over a large temporal scale and distinct modalities in order to deploy selective action, constituting a process of substantial complexity. With this in mind, we revisit the question of feasibility of instrumental conditioning in the unconscious domain. Firstly, we address the theoretical and practical considerations relevant to unconscious learning in general. Secondly, we aim to replicate the first study to show instrumental conditioning in the absence of stimulus awareness (Pessiglione et al., 2008), following the original design and supplementing the original crucial analyses with a Bayesian approach (Experiment 1). We found that apparent unconscious learning took place when replicating the original methods directly and according to the tests of awareness used. However, we could not establish that the full sample was unaware in a separate awareness check. We therefore attempted to replicate the effect yet again with improved methods to address the issues related to sensitivity and immediacy (Experiment 2), including an individual threshold-setting task and a trial-by-trial awareness check permitting exclusion of individual aware trials. Here, we found evidence for absence of unconscious learning. This result provides evidence that instrumental conditioning did not occur without stimulus awareness in this paradigm, supporting the view that complex forms of learning may rely on conscious access. Our results provides support for the proposal that perceptual consciousness may be necessary for complex, flexible processes, especially where selective action and behavioural adaptation are required.

Background

Cephalic index (CI) is one of the important anthropometric parameters to determine racial variation.  Studies done in Nepal has made a comparison of cephalic index for castes (Tharu, Brahmin, Chhetri, Newar), races (Mongoloids and Aryans) but lacks sex variation. The objective of this study was to find the difference in the cephalic index between two genders and to find the sequence of most predominant to least common head type in different genders among the Medical Students of Birat Medical College & Teaching Hospital (BMCTH).

Methods

A cross-sectional study conducted in the department of Anatomy of BMCTH from 1 July 2019 to 1 September 2019 comprising of 256 medical students (133 male and 123 female) aged between 18 to 24 years. Head length, head breadth and cephalic index were the variables measured using standard devices and techniques. Ethical clearance was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (IRC) of Birat Medical College & Teaching Hospital, Nepal.

Results

The mean cephalic index in male and female is found to be 81.41 ± 4.52 and 83.62 ± 4.08 respectively. Statistically significant difference found between gender in terms of head length males (18.78±0.69) and females (17.71 ± 0.60); head breadth males (15.28 ±0.62) and females (14.79 ±0.57). The mean cephalic index in males is 81.41 ± 4.52 varying from 69.31 to 94.48. In females, the cephalic index varied from 74.74 to 93.14 and the mean cephalic index is 83.62 ± 4.08. The difference between male and female cephalic index is found to be statistically significant.

Majority (43.75%) had Brachycephalic head (CI>79.9) followed by Hyperbrachycephalic (26.95%), Mesocephalic (25.39%), and Dolicocephalic (3.90%).

Conclusion

Cephalic index is significantly high in female as compared to male whereas head length and breadth are significantly high in males than females. It confirms sexual dimorphism exists. Brachycephalic is the commonest head type.

Background: Ridge morphology is one of the important recognized factors affecting denture retention, stability, support and masticatory function in edentulous patients. The form of ridge affects the planning as well as determines the prognosis of treatment. The objective of this study was to assess maxillary residual ridge morphology according to American College of Prosthodontists (ACP) classification system and to find association between type of ridge morphology of maxillary arch with age and duration of edentulism.     Methods: The study was conducted among 87 completely edentulous patients above 40 years of age visiting department of prosthodontics Nepal Medical College. The morphology of maxillary residual ridges were clinically evaluated and classified according to criteria given by American College of Prosthodontists (ACP) classification system. The findings were associated with age, sex, duration of edentulism and complete       denture wear. Results: In this study, more than two thirds of the patients belonged to the age group of 60 – 80 years and their mean duration of edentulousness was seen to be 5.7 years. One fifth of the patients were using previous complete dentures. Type A maxillary ridge morphology was found to be the most prevalent. The type of maxillary ridge morphology was not found to be associated with either age or gender of an  individual however it varied significantly with length of edentulism and duration of complete denture wears.              Conclusions: Within limitations, it can be concluded that maxillary ridge morphology was not associated with age of an individual however the longer duration of edentulism or complete denture use would make the type of ridge morphology more unfavorable.

Keywords: maxillary ridge; length of edentulism; residual ridge resorption; ridge morphology.

Buddhism is one of the major religions in the world. About four hundred million Buddhist people and millions of peace lovers around the globe admire to visit the holy places following the footsteps of the Buddha as the Buddha himself enshrined pilgrimage as an important act in the life of a peace seeker. Peace and happiness are the main pursuit of people longing for, but in many ways they are starving. Buddhism has been source and way forward for peace and happiness- this is how people have started realizing today. In pursuit of peace, billions of dollars worth Buddha images, Buddhist souvenirs and puja paraphernalia are sold every year in Buddhist sites of different countries that make local economy vibrant. There are many Buddhist heritage sites that have been explored, excavated, conserved, developed and promoted because of tourism activities all over the world. But very few studies have been done, so far, to understand relation between Buddhism and tourism. This study examines the relation between Buddhism and tourism in the context of Greater Lumbini Area, Nepal for planning, development, promotion and educative purpose. The findings of present study reveal that there is “complementary and positive relation between Buddhism and tourism”. It means promotion of Buddhism helps develop quality tourism in the GLA vis-à-vis development of tourism in the region promotes Buddhism and Buddhist sites.

The aim of this paper is to explore and illuminate the preliminary impacts of novel coronavirus disease (COVID- 19) in tourism industry of Nepal. The spillover impact of pandemic has been seen in almost every sector globally. Many scholars and practitioners have already started rethinking and researching in different disciplines based on issues regarding COVID-19. Some of the disciplines are International tourism, health sector, international economy, global politics, human civilization, sustainability and so on. The United Nation World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and World Health Organization (WHO) are closely cooperating for understanding the severe impact of escalation of coronavirus on the human health and damage in the world economy as well as tourism sector (UNWTO, 2020). There are uncountable job losses recorded in tourism industry due to stranded traveller’s mobility after many nations including Nepal declared lockdown as a strategy to control the spread of virus Therefore, devastating Airlines, shuttered borders, halt of transportation means and cancellation of rooms in hotels have a vigorous impact on tourism industry than the COVID-19 outbreak itself. It is obvious to experience changes in tourism industry; tourist’s behavior and their reluctance to travel for few years. However, travel of humans for any motives will provide spectrum to tourism mobility. The epidemic has drastically turned into pandemic as the virus has transferred to almost all the nations of the globe without visa so far.

W-30 wt.% Cu nanocomposites were prepared by chemical reduction of a ball-milled WO3-CuO powder mixture under a hydrogen atmosphere. The prepared samples were analyzed by means of X-ray diffraction, transition electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersed spectroscopy. Microstructural studies revealed higher density of the composite sintered at 1300 °C compared to 1 050 °C and 1 150 °C due to activated liquid phase sintering as well as the solution-reprecipitation mechanism at 1300 °C. Density and hardness of the W-Cu composite samples measured in the range of 87.5- 97.3 g cm-3 and 22 - 63 Rockwell A, respectively. It was also found that the wear mechanism of the composite includes the following steps: chipping of tungsten particles, plastic deformation of copper phase and formation of some Cu-free pores and micro-cracks, pulling out of tungsten particles and plastic strain and deformation of tungsten particles and formation of a mechanically mixed layer on the surface.

The objective of this review is to provide comprehensive, exhaustive and up- to-date information on the image and the distinctive features of the profession of a translator and its peculiarities due to the position of translators in society and their role as mediators between cultures. The number of intercultural contacts and the need for a precise understanding of the content of communication in today's global world is constantly increasing and under these conditions the importance of the professional activity of translators is significantly increasing. The article attempts to analyze the Erving Goffman's dramaturgical approach as a scientific paradigm for the analysis of professional translation. The article also discusses the notion of stigma and stigmatization as a communication mechanism. On the basis of the obtained data, it is possible to conclude that the negative attitude to a particular profession, the formation of a certain image of it which is associated with stereotypical perception, the isolation of social factors that contribute to the stigmatization of employment at different levels of communication today is of considerable research interest.
