AbstractThe RILEM technical committee TC 247-DTA ‘Durability Testing of Alkali-Activated Materials’ conducted a round robin testing programme to determine the validity of various durability testing methods, originally developed for Portland cement based-concretes, for the assessment of the durability of alkali-activated concretes. The outcomes of the round robin tests evaluating sulfate resistance, alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and freeze–thaw resistance are presented in this contribution. Five different alkali-activated concretes, based on ground granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash, or metakaolin were investigated. The extent of sulfate damage to concretes based on slag or fly ash seems to be limited when exposed to an Na2SO4 solution. The mixture based on metakaolin showed an excessive, very early expansion, followed by a dimensionally stable period, which cannot be explained at present. In the slag-based concretes, MgSO4 caused more expansion and visual damage than Na2SO4; however, the expansion limits defined in the respective standards were not exceeded. Both the ASTM C1293 and RILEM AAR-3.1 test methods for the determination of ASR expansion appear to give essentially reliable identification of expansion caused by highly reactive aggregates. Alkali-activated materials in combination with an unreactive or potentially expansive aggregate were in no case seen to cause larger expansions; only the aggregates of known very high reactivity were seen to be problematic. The results of freeze–thaw testing (with/without deicing salts) of alkali-activated concretes suggest an important influence of the curing conditions and experimental conditions on the test outcomes, which need to be understood before the tests can be reliably applied and interpreted.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Is More Common in Patients with IgA Nephropathy and Predicts Progression of ESKD: A Swedish Population-Based Cohort Study
Authors: Rehnberg Johanna , Symreng Adina , Ludvigsson Jonas F. , Emilsson Louise 
Published: November 2020

Background
Case reports suggest an association between inflammatory bowel disease, a chronic autoimmune condition linked to increased circulating IgA levels, and IgA nephropathy, the most common form of primary GN and a leading cause of ESKD.

Methods
In a Swedish population-based cohort study, we compared 3963 biopsy-verified IgA nephropathy patients with 19,978 matched controls between 1974 and 2011, following up participants until 2015. Inflammatory bowel disease data and ESKD status were obtained through national medical registers. We applied Cox regression to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for future inflammatory bowel disease in IgA nephropathy and conditional logistic regression to assess risk of earlier inflammatory bowel disease in IgA nephropathy. We also explored whether inflammatory bowel disease affects development of ESKD in IgA nephropathy.

Results
During a median follow-up of 12.6 years, 196 (4.95%) patients with IgA nephropathy and 330 (1.65%) matched controls developed inflammatory bowel disease (adjusted HR, 3.29; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 2.73 to 3.96). Inflammatory bowel disease also was more common before a confirmed IgA nephropathy diagnosis. Some 103 (2.53%) IgA nephropathy patients had an earlier inflammatory bowel disease diagnosis compared with 220 (1.09%) controls (odds ratio [OR], 2.37; 95% CI, 1.87 to 3.01). Both logistic regression (OR, 2.60; 95% CI, 2.02 to 3.35) and time-varying Cox regression (HR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.33 to 2.55) demonstrated that inflammatory bowel disease was associated with increased ESKD risk in patients with IgA nephropathy.

Conclusions
Patients with IgA nephropathy have an increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease both before and after their nephropathy diagnosis. In addition, among patients with IgA nephropathy, comorbid inflammatory bowel disease elevates the risk of progression to ESKD.
Humanism in the Autobiographies of Edward Said and Nelson Mandela: Memory as Action
Authors: Zakarriya Jihan 
Published: November 2020

This paper focuses on the concept of memory as a form of humanist activism in the autobiographies of Nelson Mandela and Edward Said, namely The Long Walk to Freedom (1994) and After the Last Sky (1999), respectively. I have chosen Mandela and Said because they dedicated their lives and efforts to the service of the cause of freedom in South Africa and Palestine. Their engagement with the political causes of their countries turns into a concern with worldwide struggles for human rights and racial equality. While Mandela emerged as a vital force against apartheid in South Africa, Said was a well-known and influential Palestinian critic and intellectual whose writings tackle the Palestinian struggle for justice within the worldwide experience of imperialism and its binary oppositions of white/black, male/female, superior /inferior. I argue that their autobiographies bear witness to the plight of Black South Africans and Palestinians as both a shared memory resistant to erasure and as a call for justice. Mandela and Said use their personal memories and life stories to construct a public reading of the meanings of the events that shaped them. Both are concerned with the ways their people have been represented by others, and how they struggle to represent themselves.
The Impact of Existentialism in Shakespeare’s Hamlet
Authors: Hossain Md. Amir 
Published: November 2020

This article attempts to treat Shakespeare as existentialism’s prolific precursor, as a writer who focuses on existentialist ideas in his own distinctive theatrical and poetic terms long before they were fully developed in the philosophical and literary terms of the 20th century. The plays of Shakespeare and existentialist philosophy are equally fascinated by issues such as authenticity and in-authenticity, freedom of thought, being and nothingness, authenticity, freedom, and self-becoming. In recent years, Shakespearean criticism has shied away from these fundamental existentialist concerns as reflected in his play, Hamlet, preferring to investigate the historical and cultural conditioning of human subjectivity. It aims to provide a sketch of existentialist thought and survey the influence of existentialism on readings of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. It also suggests that Shakespeare and modern existentialist philosophers and thinkers share a deep interest in the creative fusion of fiction and philosophy as the most faithful means of articulating the existentialist immediacy of experience and the philosophical quandaries. My attempt is to offer the critical viewpoints of Shakespearean critics, scholars, and some well-reputed existentialist philosophers and thinkers with a view to signifying existentialist readings of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

Authors: Ganapathy Malini , Jayabalam Amareena 
Published: November 2020

The descriptive research examines the effects of educational media on children’s language development . It aims to answer the following questions; a) To what extend does the educational media influences the children’s language development? b) Do parents interact with their children during co-viewing ? Since many of the children in this era are exposed to educational media programs/apps/ games at a very young age, it is important for the researcher to find out the extend educational media influences children’s language development and do parents co-view and interact with the children. Five parents with children from age one year of age to pre-school were interviewed face to face. The research is carried out at Seberang Perai Urban Area targeting parents who send their children to middle income kindergartens. Face to face interviews were carried out to find out to what extend educational media influences on children’s language development and to find out whether parents co-view and interact with their children. Upon completion of the data collection , the results will be used to determine the positive and negative part of educational media on children’s language development and how parents co-view and interactions can benefit them.

Published: November 2020

The study investigated the impact of dyslexia on the performance of students in English comprehension in Lagos State Secondary Schools. This study adopted an ex-post facto design approach. The target groups for the study were Lagos State Senior Secondary School students in Nigeria. The samples were drawn from four (4) geo-political areas in Lagos State of Nigeria (Ikorodu, Badagry, Lagos Island and Epe). Multi-stage random sampling technique was used to select five co-educational Public Secondary Schools from each of the four geo–political zones. Where fifty (50) Students were selected from each of the schools making a total number of two hundred and fifty (250) students from each of the zone totaling to one thousand (1000) respondents from the four (4) geo-political areas in Lagos State of Nigeria. Two instruments, Reading Deficiency questionnaire which is a researcher based questionnaire and an achievement test in English Comprehension were used to collect data from the respondents. The instrument has two sections; Section A of the instrument focuses on demographic information of the Students while Section B of the instrument contains items eliciting information from the students on reading deficiency. The achievement test was based on reading comprehension. The validity and reliability of the instrument were determined by trial testing the instrument on the similar set of the sample in some other schools that were not part of sample population and the Kurder-Richardson 21 formula was used to obtain the inter-item reliability coefficient of 0.85 and 0.80 respectively. The data were subjected to Descriptive statistics, Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and t-test. Data were tested for significance at the 0.05 level. Based on the findings, it was detected that there is a significant relationship between reading deficiency and students’ performance. Part of the recommendations made was that teachers should help students develop strategies for building a good reading habit and proper understanding of language system.

Authors: Buckley Gloria Roxanne 
Published: November 2020

Beginning right from the title , “The Fall of the House of Usher”, containing the word house which has been metaphorically used to depict the crumbling down of the house due to incestuous genetic patterns, the whole story is interwoven into the theme of transcendence. Again the word fall itself signifies rebirth. The paper attempts to delve into the concept of gothic transcendence as explored in the story by Poe.
Thematic Analysis of Leadership Values in Apologies
Authors: Varma Susanna Bithiah , Paramasivam Shamala 
Published: November 2020

The aim of the study was to elicit leadership values embedded in Obama’s apology speeches to have an insight of his leadership in the face of crisis. During his presidency, Obama had issued a number of successful remedial apologies as an action performed by the offender to calm the angered party, seek forgiveness and achieve reconciliation. The study found that Obama portrayed an array of values such as responsibility, accountability, determination and dedication to duty, trustworthiness and truthfulness, apologetic, regretful, appreciative of sacrifice, visionary, and to comfort and sympathise. This paper gives an insight of how the methodology for the study of leadership values in Obama’s apologies was carried out. The methodology relies on positive discourse analysis and grounded theory for performing a thematic analysis through linguistic coding.
A Closer Look at Yoga Nidra: Sleep Lab Protocol

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Extended sleep onset latency (SOL), or “sleep onset insomnia,” can decrease total sleep time, increasing risk for many health conditions, including heart disease, stroke, and all-cause mortality. Sleep disorders persist in the United States despite current behavioral/pharmaceutical remedies, with 10% to 15% of the population suffering from insomnia. Mind-body therapies offer additional solutions, as meditation has been correlated with decreased SOL. More research on use of mind-body practices for insomnia is needed. This study investigates the guided meditation practice of Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) as a promising intervention for sleep disorders because of its purported ability to induce mental, physical, and emotional relaxation. In this pilot study, we address the feasibility of Yoga Nidra for insomnia, appropriateness of our selected measurement systems, and effect of Yoga Nidra on brainwaves, sleep onset, and the autonomic nervous system. Our study sample includes 22 adults, ages 18–45, with insomnia. The design includes two clinic visits (V1, lying quietly for 90 min; V2, randomization to 90-min lying quietly vs. 30-min Yoga Nidra plus 60-min lying quietly), taking place 1 to 14 days apart. Outcomes measured during/after Yoga Nidra (vs. control) include sleep onset, electroencephalography (EEG) power, heart rate variability (HRV), and respiratory rate. Self-reported mood and anxiety will be measured before/after each visit. Resulting physiological, psychological, and feasibility data will be used to inform future clinical studies of Yoga Nidra for sleep and relaxation.

Published: November 2020

Objectives: Predictive analysis can be used to evaluate the enormous data generated by the healthcare industry to extract information and establish relationships amongst the variables. It uses artificial intelligence to reveal associations not suspected by the healthcare professionals. Tobacco cessation is clearly beneficial; however, many tobacco users respond differently as it is based on multitude of factors. Our objectives were to assess the data mining techniques using the WEKA tool, evaluate its role in predictive analysis, and to predict the quit status of patients using prediction algorithms in tobacco cessation.
Materials and Methods: WEKA, a data mining tool, was used to classify the data and evaluate them using 10-fold cross-validations. The various algorithms used in this tool are Naïve Bayes, SMO, Random Forest, J-48, and Decision Stump to further analyze its role in determining the quit status of patients. For this, secondary data of 655 patients from a tobacco cessation clinic were utilized and described using 20 different attributes for prediction of quit status.
Results: The Decision Stump and SMO were found to be having the best prediction and accuracy for prediction of the quit status. Out of 20 attributes, previous quitting attempt, type of intervention, and number of years since the habit was initiated were found to be associated with early quitting rate.
Conclusion: This study concluded that data mining and predictive analytical models like WEKA tool will not only improve patient outcomes but identify variables or a combination of variables for effective interventions in tobacco cessation.
El principio cooperativo de educación, formación e información desde una perspectiva histórica y doctrinal
Authors: Martínez Charterina Alejandro 
Published: November 2020

El principio de educación ha sido considerado razonablemente la “regla de oro” del cooperativismo. Constituye la puerta al conocimiento de los caracteres esenciales de la cooperativa y al ejercicio de los derechos y responsabilidades de los socios. Al mismo tiempo acerca la cooperativa como empresa a la sociedad, y muy especialmente a los jóvenes que pueden encontrar en ella un futuro satisfactorio, dando continuidad al movimiento cooperativo en el tiempo.

El caso lava jato en el Perú: descripción, valoración y aplicación de normas
Authors: Guimaray Mori Erick 
Published: November 2020

Los hechos delictivos complejos no sólo lo son por sus imbricados sistemas de coordinación e intervención, sino por el poder político y económico del que se asisten sus protagonistas. El caso peruano denominado no solo resulta de importancia debido a ser de aquellos realizados por aquellos con poder sino, además, por las consecuencias económicas y políticas.La complejidad de un caso judicial se mide por su probanza y sus implicaciones, por lo cual es necesario escindir los principales elementos de la trama, vincularlos con la criminalidad que le da soporte e interpretar nuestras normas penales de manera coherente y sostenible en el tiempo. La importancia y valoración del injusto del extraneus en casos de gran corrupción es un buen ejemplo de esa tarea.
El génesis de la parte general del bürgerliches gesetzbuch
Authors: Mendoza del Maestro Gilberto 
Published: November 2020

En este artículo, el autor realiza una aproximación histórica a la Parte General del Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, realizando importantes anotaciones sobre el contexto político y social en el que se gestó. Asimismo, ello supone una revisión del proceso de producción de esta norma, en términos de comisiones y trabajos preliminares.Para lograr esta caracterización, se hace un recorrido por algunas de las críticas más agudas que se realizaron a los intentos de codificación, y por el debate surgido en torno a la existencia misma de una Parte General o incluso de una codificación para el entorno germano. Finalmente, no se deja de lado la relación de la elaboración alemana con otras normas surgidas en países notoriamente influenciados por ella.
La economía llegó a la atmósfera: el reto de la ley marco de cambio climático para la adaptación como Política Pública
Authors: Salvador Cárdenas Gabriela 
Published: November 2020

El cambio climático es uno de los principales problemas que afrontamos no sólo como país, sino a nivel mundial y que ha puesto en jaque a los diferentes estados a fin de lograr un viraje en las políticas estatales, con miras a la transversalidad del componente climático.Es por ello que el objetivo del presente artículo es argumentar la importancia de una política pública orientada a la adaptación ante el cambio climático y, la influencia de la Ley Marco de Cambio Climático, para la obligatoriedad de la toma de decisión a fin de ejecutar dicha política. Ello, en tanto nos cuesta –como país– entender la necesidad de políticas de adaptación, distintas a la mitigación, con miras al aseguramiento de la sostenibilidad ambiental para las generaciones futuras. Así, la adaptación al cambio climático requiere una reformulación normativa transversal, que permita el resguardo de recursos naturales y la convivencia entre medio ambiente y ciudadanía.
¿Quién se robó mi propiedad? el tratamiento de los recursos naturales mineros a la luz de las teorías de dominio público y su aplicación en el Perú
Authors: Mutsios Ramsay Milagros 
Published: November 2020

La forma en como está estructurado el régimen de la propiedad privada muchas veces delimita la manera en que está organizada una sociedad. En el aspecto minero, la propiedad de los recursos naturales es generalmente la razón principal del buen funcionamiento del sistema o de las disputas interminables entre comunidades nativas y organismos del Estado.En este sentido, para poder entender de mejor manera cómo está estructurado el sistema de dominio público sobre los recursos naturales en nuestro país, Milagros Mutsios explica en este artículo las cuatro principales teorías de dominio público de los recursos naturales y ahonda acerca de los diversos conceptos que influyen en la adopción o funcionamiento de cada uno de estos.
Breves comentarios a los mecanismos implementados para la participación ciudadana efectiva dentro de la certificación ambiental por parte de Senace
Authors: Queirolo Romero Ana Paula 
Published: November 2020

Muchos proyectos de extracción minera se han llevado a cabo pasando por alto el derecho a la participación ciudadana de quienes se ven afectados por ellos. Factores como las brechas de género y culturales impiden su ejercicio efectivo. Con el fin de garantizar el derecho a la participación ciudadana ambiental, el SENACE ha incorporado al procedimiento de evaluación ambiental dos enfoques: de Género e Intercultural.En este artículo, la autora parte de revisar el concepto de participación ciudadana para luego analizarlo en su variante ambiental. Posteriormente, en el contexto de las evaluaciones ambientales, analiza el reconocimiento e implicancias de la participación ciudadana ambiental, para así evaluar la necesidad de considerar los Enfoques Intercultural y de Género. Finalmente, analiza el rol del Estado como garante del derecho a la participación ciudadana y valora la incorporación de estos enfoques por el SENACE.
