Published: September 2020

The production of clinker consumes high energy and causes high production cost of cement industry. It can be reduced by adding blast furnace slag as a mixture in cement production. The blast furnace slag - clinker mixture can produce cement with setting time and compressive strength according to SNI. The effect of the addition of blast furnace slag as a clinker mixture to the setting time and compressive strength of cement can be optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) using Central Composite Design (CCD). Optimization by using RSM aims to determine the optimum condition of the blast furnace slag – clinker mixture to the initial setting time, final setting time, and compressive strength. ANOVA test results and response surface analysis show that the addition of blast furnace slag into the cement mixture has a significant influence on the initial setting time, final setting time, and compressive strength. The addition of 5% blast furnace slag with 92.5% clinker in the mixture of clinker and gypsum is the optimum condition which gives a significant effect on the response variable.
Writing Strategies across four disciplines in a Tunisian Context
Authors: Dallagi Maha 
Published: September 2020

English is now widely established as the world language for information exchange, communication, and conducting research (Cenoz & Jessner, 2000; Wood, 2001); and developing satisfactory writing strategies is crucial. Writing is a challenging skill, the complexity of which is mainly felt at University Level. This paper investigated writing strategies among 147 Tunisian university students, majoring in Hard Science and Soft Science courses (English, French, Medicine and Engineering). Its objective was to verify to what extent factors such as academic field, gender, and proficiency interact with each other and with writing strategies. A Survey of Writing strategies was adopted as the main investigating instrument. Findings reveal that Language majors are higher users of strategies than other majors, yet this does not seem to impact their proficiency level. The results suggest raising students’ awareness of Writing strategies by teaching them explicitly and drawing their attention to them.
The Effect of Strategy Training on Vocabulary Learning of EFL University Students
Authors: Seffar Salma 
Published: September 2020

This study investigated the effect of training in five vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) on the vocabulary learning of EFL university students. The five vocabulary learning strategies were ‘Dictionary Work’, ‘Word Cards’, ‘Semantic Mapping’, ‘Word Parts’, and ‘Guessing from Context’. Forty-eight first year university students, in both the control group (24 students receiving English language courses) and the experimental group (24 students receiving English language courses besides VLS training) belonging to similar proficiency and vocabulary size levels, participated in the study. Data were collected utilizing two research instruments namely a vocabulary learning strategy questionnaire, pre-and post-tests of vocabulary learning ability. The vocabulary learning strategy questionnaire was used to elicit what types of vocabulary learning strategies the subjects employed while they learned and memorized the vocabulary taught independently outside and inside the class. The pre-test was employed to determine pre-existing knowledge of the participants. The posttest was administered to identify the impact of vocabulary learning strategy instruction on the students’ vocabulary knowledge. Descriptive statistics and t-test showed that after introducing vocabulary learning strategies training (VLST) in class, subjects from the experimental group used more VLS and significantly outperformed subjects of the control group in their ability to learn new words.

ADAPTASI POLA GENANGAN AIR RAWA LEBAK DENGAN BUDIDAYA TANAMAN PADI MENGAMBANG DI DESA PELABUHAN DALAM, KABUPATEN OGAN ILIR
Authors: Saleh Edward 
Published: September 2020

Desa Pelabuhan Dalam, Kecamatan Pemulutan, Kabupaten Ogan Ilir, Provinsi Sumatera Selatan merupakan desa yang lahan pertaniannya didominasi lahan rawa lebak, karena terletak di antara dua sungai besar, yaitu Sungai Ogan dan Sungai Keramasan. Dalam setahun, lahan pertanian akan terendam selama 7 bulan, yaitu dari bulan Oktober sampai bulan April, kondisi basa pada bulan Mei, Juni dan September, serta kering pada bulan Juli Agustus. Dengan kondisi lingkungan lahan demikian petani hanya mengusahakan sawahnya satu kali pertahun, yaitu budidaya tanaman padi pada bulan April sampai bulan September, diluar bulan tersebut lahan di berakan. Dalam pengabdian ini diperkenalkan sistem budidaya tanaman padi mengambang atau mengapung. Penanaman padi mengambang ini dapat dilakukan selama fase pertumbuhan atau hanya pada fase awal pertumbuhannya saja. Untuk melakukan praktek penanaman padi terapung dengan memanfaatkan botol minuman bekas sebagai pengapung, yang banyak tersedia sebagai limbah. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk : a) memperkenalkan budidaya tanaman padi mengambang pada fase awal pertumbuhannya, b) memasyarakatkan penanaman padi lebih awal agar dapat mencapai IP 200, dan c) pemberdayaan kelompok tani. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian dilaksanakan dengan sosialisasi, penyuluhan, dan pelatihan pembuatan rakit apung di sawah. Dari hasil pelaksanaan pengabdian, dari mulai tahap sosialisasi, pembuatan percontohan, pendampingan, dan penyuluhan kepada petani, serta survei umpan balik diperoleh hasil sebagai berikut: 1) petani merespon postif dalam arti menerima introduksi teknologi baru berupa penanaman tanaman sistem terapung untuk adaptasi kondisi lahan rawa banjir pada bulan November sampai bulan Maret, 2) respon petani menyatakan teknologi ini dapat diterapkan, karena bahannya mudah didapat dan sebagian merupakan limbah berupa botol plastik bekas, dan 3) petani menyatakan berniat untuk mempraktekkannya. Dari hasil pengabdian ini dapat disimpulkan pertanian dengan adaptasi kondisi lingkungan banjir pada lahan rawa lebak berupa penanaman pada rakit terapung dapat diterima petani. Sebagai saran, sesuai untuk memenuhi harapan petani untuk dapat menerapkan teknologi ini, diperlukan percontohan lanjutan untuk beberapa waktu.
Optimal Play for Multiple Lottery Wins
Authors: Stong Richard , Garibaldi Skip 
Published: September 2020

We determine the optimal strategy for a family of lottery games involving repeated drawings with the same conditions, which includes Brazil's jogo do bicho and games typically offered by state lottery organizations in the United States under names such as Daily 4 or Cash 3. The proof that the strategy is optimal and the resulting formula for the probability of success both rely on a solution to a recursion that generalizes the usual Pascal recursion for binomial coefficients, which itself relies on a count of lattice paths. We illustrate how our result can be applied to focus on-the-ground investigations of suspicious patterns of lottery wins.
On Graphs whose Orientations are Determined by their Hermitian Spectra
Authors: Wang Yi , Yuan Bo-Jun 
Published: September 2020

A mixed graph $D$ is obtained from a simple graph $G$, the underlying graph of $D$, by orienting some edges of $G$. A simple graph $G$ is said to be ODHS (all orientations of $G$ are determined by their $H$-spectra) if every two $H$-cospectral graphs in $\mathcal{D}(G)$ are switching equivalent to each other, where $\mathcal{D}(G)$ is the set of all mixed graphs with $G$ as their underlying graph. In this paper, we characterize all bicyclic ODHS graphs and construct infinitely many ODHS graphs whose cycle spaces are of dimension $k$. For a connected graph $G$ whose cycle space is of dimension $k$, we also obtain an achievable upper bound $2^{2k-1} + 2^{k-1}$ for the number of switching equivalence classes in $\mathcal{D}(G)$, which naturally is an upper bound of the number of cospectral classes in $\mathcal{D}(G)$. To achieve these, we propose a valid method to estimate the number of switching equivalence classes in $\mathcal{D}(G)$ based on the strong cycle basis, a special cycle basis introduced in this paper.
Globalization and Religion: Analysing the Impact
Authors: Onuoha Ikechukwu O , Odeke Francis C 
Published: September 2020

Globalization is the interconnectedness of people and ideas across the globe. It involves the scaling of borders and the creation of a global society where events in far-flung areas reverberate uninhibited across great distances and geographical locations. Its agents are the information and communication technology (ICT), and the revolution in the modern transportation system. Globalization has affected everything and everybody and changed the traditional ways of doing things such that no region of the world can again boast of impermeability. Accompanying it are the values now known as modernism which includes a preference for change rather than continuity, freedom rather than restriction. This has led to the development of a secular culture which religious enthusiasts view as crude, sacrilegious, unacceptable and socially dangerous, and as threatening the very existence of traditional religious values. This paper attempts an analysis of the interplay between religion and globalization. It uses the cause-effects theory, which discusses the impact of social systems as a result of their causes. The paper concludes that globalization as a socio-economic system should have nothing to do with religion which is solely concerned with the moulding of morality for the spiritual upliftment of man, his peace, and fulfilment in life.

Certeau’s Landscapes
Authors: O’Donovan Patrick 
Published: September 2020

The chapter alternates between a reading of Certeau’s L’Invention du quotidien centred on the practice and the issue of the image, and a wider theoretical reflection on the image’s agency vis-à-vis analytical categories through which we engage with the real of modernity. The image possesses agency in that it brings about a ‘rectification’ of prevailing representations of the everyday, by means of a holistic and therapeutic rationale that is distinctive. The mobility of forms that is the basis of Certeau’s vindication of the image is compared with the work of several more recent anthropologists, namely Tim Ingold, Philippe Descola and Eduardo Kohn, in whose writings comparable figures are subsumed into what can be termed an anthropology of sustainability.
Radicalisation et travail social
Authors: Verba Daniel 
Published: September 2020

Depuis près de 20 ans, la notion de radicalisation a imposé aux travailleurs sociaux un nouveau vocabulaire dans le champ sémantique de l’action sociale. Poussés par les pouvoirs publics à exercer une surveillance accrue sur les jeunes pour identifier les éventuels signes de radicalité, les professionnels oscillent entre une légitime préoccupation et une prudence éthique afin de ne pas dévoyer leurs missions de protection de l’enfance.
L’intervention sociale face à l’impératif sécuritaire
Authors: Michon Bruno 
Published: September 2020

L’auteur interroge les effets de la politique publique de lutte et de prévention contre la radicalisation dans le secteur de l’intervention sociale. Suite au discours d’Emmanuel Macron appelant à lutter contre le « séparatisme islamiste », l’auteur s’attache à comprendre les difficultés d’une politique faisant dialoguer grammaire sécuritaire et grammaire sociale. À partir d’une enquête de terrain de quatre ans s’appuyant sur la méthode de la participation observante et sur des entretiens semi-directifs, l’auteur propose une analyse du système de défiance généralisée générée par cette politique. La colonisation du travail social par la grammaire sécuritaire empêche les professionnels de l’intervention sociale d’accomplir leur mission. Pour conclure, l’auteur propose un changement de paradigme à partir du concept de « prévention des polarisations ».
Se fabriquer une visibilité sur la scène publique en tant que femmes : L’éducation populaire politique en action
Authors: Sallenave Léa 
Published: September 2020

Cet article propose d’analyser les stratégies spatiales de plusieurs femmes musulmanes, se définissant comme « libres et voilées », militant dans une association d’éducation populaire politique. Dans un contexte sans cesse renouvelé de « lutte pour des places » (Lussault, 2007), elles mobilisent des ressources spatiales pour accroître une visibilité qui leur est souvent soit déniée, soit imposée par des « cadres normatifs majoritaires » (Chassain et al. , 2016). Minorisées, elles permettent pourtant un « travail du commun » (Nicolas-Le Strat, 2016) en menant une lutte politique. Leur engagement avec et dans l’espace public ouvre des perspectives pour réfléchir plus globalement aux conditions de la construction du commun, sans évacuer l’approche agonistique.

Authors: Wieland Natalie , Kollias Liz 
Published: September 2020

<p>Natalie Wieland has been delivering online learning for over 15 years as both a lecturer and workplace trainer. In her paper, she reflects on how digital learning has evolved from the days of moving PowerPoints to the highly polished and produced modules with an equally high price. Natalie reviews the first response during COVID-19 when so many rushed to deliver their content online, using tools such as Zoom. Natalie also provides her thoughts on what we have learned during this period, including the need to provide synchronous and asynchronous learning, the need to include the educator in the process and empower them with digital tools to create online content and the need to make online learning authentic and not over produced. It is still content and design that is critical. She also offers some predictions around what the future will look like with digital learning in the workplace, with lessons we have all learned.</p><p> </p>

Authors: Andajani Sri Joeda , Wirawan Oce , Pamuji Pamuji 
Published: September 2020

Rapidly developing technology in the 21st century brings significant change to youth education. The paradigm shift requires a change to comply to the model of technological knowledge century, including in sports. People with visual-impairment experiences movement limitations in their environment.Limited visual affects their daily activity. The 100-meter dash is one of the races performed by athletes with visually-impairment. Thus, the development of a detector vibrating watch model which can give signals or alarm when performing race in the track without an assistant is needed. The use of detector vibrating watch could help visually-impaired athletes to directly determine their position and when would they arrive to finish line. This conditioning could minimalize the crash between athletes because each athlete could finish in their respective supposed track. Thus, visually-impaired athletes could achieve their maximum time according to their ability without hindrance during the dash. However, the development of detector vibrating watch had not yet being used as assisting product in the specialized 100-meter dash for the visually-impaired. Appropriateness of this detector vibrating watch model for track dash required thinking from athletic sport, special education, and electrical engineering experts via focus group discussion. The result of expert development showed that the detector watch model was initiated from the 100-meter dash for people with visual-impairment.
Acute IL-4 Governs Pathogenic T Cell Responses during Leishmania major Infection

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Leishmania spp. infection is a global health problem affecting more than 2 million people every year with 300 million at risk worldwide. It is well established that a dominant Th1 response (IFN-γ, a hallmark Th1 cytokine) provides resistance, whereas a dominant Th2 response (IL-4, a hallmark Th2 cytokine) confers susceptibility during infection. Given the important role of IL-4 during L. major infection, we used IL-4–neutralizing Abs to investigate the cellular and molecular events regulated by IL-4 signaling. As previously published, neutralization of IL-4 in L. major–infected BALB/c mice (a Leishmania susceptible strain) provided protection when compared with control L. major–infected BALB/c mice. Despite this protection, IFN-γ production by T cells was dramatically reduced. Temporal neutralization of IL-4 revealed that acute IL-4 produced within the first days of infection is critical for not only programming IL-4–producing Th2 CD4+ T cells, but for promoting IFN-γ produced by CD8+ T cells. Mechanistically, IL-4 signaling enhances anti-CD3–induced Tbet and IFN-γ expression in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Given the pathogenic role of IFN-γ–producing CD8+ T cells, our data suggest that IL-4 promotes cutaneous leishmaniasis pathology by not only promoting Th2 immune responses but also pathogenic CD8+ T cell responses. Our studies open new research grounds to investigate the unsuspected role of IL-4 in regulating both Th1 and Th2 responses.

Authors: Ngunguni Joseph Nthuli , Misango Dr Sedina , Onsiro Dr. Martin 
Published: September 2020

Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the financial factors which affect the profitability of general insurance companies in Kenya. The profitability in this study is represented by ROA, as dependent variable for the period 2013 to 2017. Independent variables in this study were liquidity, leverage, loss ratio and expenses ratio.
Methodology: The type of research design used in this study was both descriptive as well as referential analysis. The study applied a census procedure to study all the 28 general insurance companies and targeted the entire population of 28 companies. Secondary data was collected from individual annual published financial statements of 28 general insurance companies for 5 years; 2013 to 2017, AKI reports and IRA published annual reports. A collection data sheet was used to collect the relevant data from all the 28 general insurance companies. After the data was collected and sorted, it was analyzed using referential analysis (multiple regression analysis). This was assisted by SPSS (Version 20) software.
Findings: The study revealed that the regression coefficient of loss ratio was -0.068, t-statistics -0.415 and p-value of 0.682 while that of leverage ratio was -0.048, t-statistics -0.546 and p-value of 0.590. Liquidity ratio had a regression coefficient of 4.238, t-statistics 3.257 and p-value of 0.003 while expenses ratio had a regression coefficient of -0.281, t-statistics -3.840 and p-value of 0.001.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommends that the management of general insurance companies in Kenya need to address liquidity and expenses by minimizing expenses and maximizing liquidity in order to be on the safe side as far as profitability is concerned. The study also recommends that regulators and other stakeholders, within the industry, should at regular interval intensify efforts to ascertain the claims handling procedures currently in use by insurance companies in Kenya.
