Published: December 2019

Indonesia has many higher learning institutions both public and private sectors such as colleges, polytechnics, institutes and universities and they are competing among them to get students to enroll in their institutions. It has become competitive among them to get students than before. The growing competition among higher learning institutions had forced them to strive to improve their service quality provided to students. The student satisfaction of service quality can be divided into two parts, namely satisfaction in academic and non-academic. The purpose of this research is to determine whether the academic and non-academic service quality affect student satisfaction of Economics Faculty Universitas Negeri Semarang. This research used an exploratory method that explaining the relationship between hypothesis testing, making prediction and getting the implicit meaning of problems that want to be solved. This study was conducted at the Economics Faculty of Universitas Negeri Semarang. The data analysis used SEM PLS. The population in this study were students from the Economics Faculty of Universitas Negeri Semarang who registered in 2015 and graduated in 2018. The total number of population in this study were 3,596 students majoring in Economics Education, Accounting, Management, and Economic Development. This study used a stratified sampling technique where students from all disciplines and levels were determined using the Slovin formula. Questionnaires were distributed to a sample of 360 students and were administered by trained enumerators. Data were collected using self-administered assessment questionnaires of a five Likert scale and analyzed using SEM PLS 6.0 Warp PLS. The results of this research were, first, academic service quality did not influence student satisfaction. Second, the non-academic service quality has a positive and significant influence on student satisfaction. This is because the supported learning infrastructure was found to be a factor that satisfied the students compared to teaching methods that was carried out by faculty members. It was also found that attitude and behavior in academic aspect were not significant in improving the students’ satisfaction. Therefore, it is suggested that Faculty of Economics of UNNES should focus on maintaining and improving the service quality of non-academic aspects in order to compete with other higher learning institutions.

Authors: Şahin İsmail , Dörterler Murat , Gokce Harun 
Published: December 2019

The need for precise mechanical and tribological properties of the hydrostatic bearings has made them an interesting study topic for optimisation studies. In this paper, power-loss minimization problems of hydrostatic thrust bearings were solved through Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO). Grey Wolf Optimizer is a meta-heuristic optimization method standing out with its successful applications in engineering design problems. Power-loss minimization problem of hydrostatic thrust bearings was applied on Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) for the first time. The results obtained were evaluated together with the previous studies conducted and a detailed comparison was made. The most significant innovation of the study is the innovation made in the mathematical model of the GWO. A new model (Enhanced GWO, EGWO) that increases the variety of valid solutions is proposed. The comparisons made both with GWO and other studies in the literature show that EGWO got the known best fitness value with the highest success rate. The consistency and statistical performance of the EGWO show that this method can be used in the optimization of machine elements.
Jeanne Lapointe et Eva Kushner. Deux femmes chez les sociologues
Authors: Robert Lucie 
Published: December 2019

En 1964, le colloque organisé par la revue Recherches sociographiques, sous le thème « Littérature et société canadiennes-françaises », réunit des spécialistes chargés de dresser l’état des lieux de la littérature canadienne-française, mais aussi d’engager « un débat méthodologique qui pourrait donner lieu à un fructueux dialogue entre les visées de l’esthétique et celles de la sociologie ». Deux femmes étaient invitées : Jeanne Lapointe, de l’Université Laval, et Eva Kushner, de l’Université McGill. Ni l’une ni l’autre n’étaient des spécialistes de la littérature canadienne-française, ni l’une ni l’autre ne pratiquaient une approche de la critique qui s’approcherait de la sociologie, une approche à laquelle elles étaient alors, à vrai dire, plutôt hostiles. Le présent article s’interroge sur la présence de ces deux femmes invitées à commenter les propositions émises par Clément Lockquell et Fernand Dumont, dans un ordre à première vue incongru (Kushner répondant à Lockquell ; Lapointe à Dumont). Nul doute que les organisateurs ont agi là sciemment : plus que quiconque, en effet, ces deux femmes encore jeunes, aux trajectoires universitaires distinctes, ont présenté des approches méthodologiques qui, bien que discordantes à maints égards, heurtaient la tradition et témoignaient des orientations à venir de la critique littéraire au Canada français.
Jeanne Lapointe et Anne Hébert : une longue amitié
Authors: Watteyne Nathalie 
Published: December 2019

On connaît le rôle exercé par Jeanne Lapointe dans la valorisation des textes d’Anne Hébert. La professeure de littérature de l’Université Laval signe, en 1954 et 1961, des articles importants sur la poésie de cette auteure dans la revue Cité libre. Et c’est Jeanne Lapointe qui demande à Pierre Emmanuel un texte de présentation pour Le Tombeau des rois. En plus de signer une note explicative au Dialogue sur la traduction, Lapointe aura présidé aux échanges de ce dialogue entre Anne Hébert et Frank Scott. Nous rendrons compte de son projet de publier un choix de poèmes des Songes en équilibre, projet auquel l’auteure s’est montrée un temps réceptive. Mais la contribution de Lapointe ne s’arrête pas à sa lecture attentive de l’oeuvre et aux réseaux de sociabilité qu’elle développe. Dans la nouvelle « Shannon », publiée en 1960, se profile, sous les traits du personnage de Claire, la présence de l’amie. D’autres interventions privées et publiques d’Hébert ou de Lapointe nous renseignent sur les dates, voire sur le sens de certaines oeuvres. Nous en examinerons les différentes facettes pour offrir un portrait complet de l’apport de Jeanne Lapointe à l’oeuvre d’Anne Hébert.
Jeanne Lapointe, mentore et amie
Authors: Bédard Mylène 
Published: December 2019

Dans L’Institution du littéraire, Lucie Robert souligne l’apport de Jeanne Lapointe à l’émergence d’une critique littéraire moderne au Québec. Robert note en effet que Lapointe a non seulement « énoncé les conditions d’exercice d’un enseignement universitaire de la littérature et les critères d’une pratique de recherche alors originale », mais qu’elle a « contribué à former des générations d’étudiants et d’étudiantes qui, à partir de la fin des années 1960, donneront des assises institutionnelles à la recherche littéraire ». Par l’étude de la correspondance qu’a entretenue Jeanne Lapointe avec des écrivaines comme Marie-Claire Blais, Louky Bersianik, Madeleine Gagnon et Gabrielle Roy, cet article se propose de mettre en lumière un autre pan de la contribution de Lapointe à l’infiltration d’idées modernes dans la littérature québécoise, et plus particulièrement dans la littérature des femmes. La correspondance, par la dimension relationnelle qu’elle implique, semble constituer, pour Lapointe, une voie de prolongement à l’enseignement, c’est-à-dire à la transmission du savoir et à l’échange intellectuel. Ainsi, l’analyse des lettres permettra d’appréhender le rôle de mentore – rarement examiné dans une perspective féminine – de Lapointe et de mesurer l’étendue de son influence sur le parcours et les oeuvres de certaines écrivaines.
Féminin singulier, transmission plurielle
Authors: Saint-Martin Lori 
Published: December 2019

Ce texte offre à la fois quelques souvenirs personnels de Jeanne Lapointe et une lecture de ses textes féministes, où s’observe un double mouvement de démystification des savoirs androcentristes et de construction de nouvelles formes où les femmes figurent à titre de sujets de plein droit. Ce n’est qu’à ce prix que peut cesser « le meurtre psychique » des femmes, qui va en droite ligne de la persécution des sorcières à l’attentat de l’École Polytechnique et à la marginalisation culturelle des femmes.
Juste la fin du monde de Xavier Dolan : du cercle infini à la ligne droite

Published: December 2019

L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser le lien unissant le cinéma et le théâtre dans Juste la fin du monde (2016) de Xavier Dolan, adaptation cinématographique de la pièce de théâtre éponyme de Jean-Luc Lagarce, et d’examiner le passage du texte dramatique au récit filmique conduisant à la naissance d’une nouvelle oeuvre d’art distincte et autonome. Pour ce faire, nous nous appuyons sur les écrits des auteurs suivants : Robert Stam et André Gaudreault, pour aborder les enjeux et les dynamiques créatives mises à l’oeuvre dans l’adaptation cinématographique ; Gérard Genette, pour ce qui est de l’approche transtextuelle ; et Deleuze et Guattari, pour la notion de plan de composition.

En este artículo se propone una secuencia de actividades basada en algunas ideas del Método verbo-tonal (Guberina/Murillo, 2008; Padilla, 2018) la cual consta de cinco actividades, secuenciadas en percepción-producción/consciente-inconsciente (Padilla, 2015), para practicar la entonación expresiva. El elemento motivador que se emplea a lo largo de la secuencia didáctica es la película Del revés. En esta secuencia de actividades perseguimos dos objetivos: contrastar la entonación neutra con la emotiva y practicar la entonación neutra y emotiva en enunciados declarativos. Para ello, haremos una contrastación de los valores emotivos con los neutros, trabajando las seis emociones básicas: alegría, miedo, asco, enfado, tristeza y sorpresa.

Palabras clave: verbo-tonal, actividades, entonación, expresiva, emociones

This article aims to develop a sequence of five activities based on some of the ideas of the verbo-tonal method (Guberina/Murillo, 2008; Padilla, 2018). They are classified as different processes in order to practice the expressive intonation: perception and production in a conscious and unconscious way (Padilla, 2015). The primary motivation is the movie- Inside out. This sequence of activities has two objectives: contrasting the neutral intonation with the emotional intonation and practicing the neutral and emotional intonation when using declarative statements. To do so, this sequence of activities will contrast the neutral values with the emotional ones by working with the six basic emotions: happiness, fear, disgust, anger, sadness and surprise.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of supplementing the practical diet with yeast autolysate (YA) on the growth performance, immunity, and disease resistance of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. Four isonitrogenous and isolipidic practical diets were formulated. The relatively high-fish-meal control diet contained 25% fish meal without YA supplementation (E1). The other control diet contained 20% fish meal without YA (E2). With the E2 diet as the basis, two additional experimental diets were created by further supplementation with 1% YA (E3) and 2% YA (E4). The shrimp (initial weight: 0.30 ± 0.02 g) were fed with the four experimental diets for 8 weeks and then challenged with Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in survival rate (SR) or feed intake (FI) among these groups. The weight gain rate (WGR) of group E1 was not significantly different from that of groups E3 and E4. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) in group E4 was lower than that of group E2, and group E4 had the highest protein efficiency ratio (PER). The total hemocyte counts (THC) and lysozyme activities in group E3 and group E4 were significantly higher than those of the other groups. Group E3 had the highest respiratory burst (RB). After V. parahaemolyticus administration, group E3 and group E4 had significantly lower cumulative mortalities than group E1 did. In conclusion, the 20% fish meal diet without YA supplementation (E2) yielded a significantly lower growth rate than the 25% fish meal diet without YA supplementation (E1) did. Furthermore, the Pacific white shrimp that received dietary supplementation with 1% YA demonstrated improved growth rate, immune response, and resistance to the V. parahaemolyticus challenge compared with those that were fed the 20% fish meal diet without YA supplementation (E2).
Dynamically Crystalizing Liquid‐Crystal Elastomers for an Expandable Endplate‐Conforming Interbody Fusion Cage

Published: December 2019

AbstractDegenerative disc disease (DDD) is the leading cause of low back pain and radiating leg pain. DDD is commonly treated surgically using spinal fusion techniques, but in many cases failure occurs due to insufficient immobilization of the vertebrae during fusion. The fabrication and demonstration of a 3D‐printed semi‐crystalline liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) spinal fusion cage that addresses these challenges in particular subsidence are described. During implantation of the fusion cage, the LCE is rubbery and capable of deforming around and conforming to delicate anatomy. In the hours following implantation, the device crystallizes into a rigid, structural material with the modulus increasing tenfold from 8 to 80 MPa. In the crystalline regime, a 3D‐printed prototype device is capable of enduring 1 million cycles of physiologic compressive loading with minimal creep‐induced ratcheting. Effects of LCE molecular architecture on the rate and magnitude of modulus increase, material processability, and mechanical properties are explored. This fundamental characterization informs a proof‐of‐concept device—the first bulk 3D printed LCE demonstrated to date. Moreover, the novel deployment strategy represents an exciting new paradigm of spinal fusion cages, which addresses real clinical challenges in expandable interbody fusion cages.

AbstractAs a transcription coactivator, Yes‐associated protein 1 (YAP1)'s role in tumorigenesis is well established. However, the mechanism of YAP1‐regulating long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) in tumors is still largely unknown. Here, a YAP1 target gene, long intergenic noncoding RNA 00152 (LINC00152), which is highly expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC), is identified. The oncogenic functions of LINC00152 in CRC are demonstrated by a panel of in vitro and in vivo experiments. Further studies reveal the potential downstream mechanisms of LINC00152, which can act as a competing endogenous RNA sponging with miR‐632 and miR‐185‐3p to regulate Fascin actin‐bundling protein 1 (FSCN1) expression and thus promote the malignant proliferation and metastasis in CRC cells. Targeting the YAP1/LINC00152/FSCN1 axis inhibits the progression of CRC. This finding provides a new regulatory model of the “YAP1‐lncRNA” in CRC, which gives rise to a new perspective, “YAP1/LINC00152/miR‐632‐miR‐185‐3p/FSCN1,” to explore the cancer‐promoting mechanism of YAP1 involved in CRC.
Progress, Outlook, and Challenges in Lead‐Free Energy‐Storage Ferroelectrics

Published: December 2019

AbstractFor energy‐storage materials, dielectric capacitors exhibit higher power density than fuel cells, Li ion batteries, and super capacitors, giving them potentional for application in hybrid electric vehicles, high‐speed trains, and even spaceplanes. However, their low energy‐storage density (ESD) has limited their commercialization, which has therefore fallen behind the other three named systems to some extent. Because of this, a key factor in the development of dielectric/ferroelectric capacitors is an increase in ESD. Optimizing electrical breakdown strength and dielectric constant are regarded as two promising ways to achieve this. Five‐state dielectric energy‐storage materials are introduced and their respective merits and demerits are summarized. Enormous efforts, including the modification of preparation techniques, have been made to improve energy‐storage performances in the past two decades; the significance of interface engineering is discussed in this context. Energy‐storage density, efficiency, thermal stability with polarization fatigue, and mechanical fatigue are all optimized, demonstrating promising potential for practical applications.
Simultaneous Contact and Grain‐Boundary Passivation in Planar Perovskite Solar Cells Using SnO2‐KCl Composite Electron Transport Layer

Published: December 2019

AbstractThe performance of perovskite solar cells is sensitive to detrimental defects, which are prone to accumulate at the interfaces and grain boundaries of bulk perovskite films. Defect passivation at each region will lead to reduced trap density and thus less nonradiative recombination loss. However, it is challenging to passivate defects at both the grain boundaries and the bottom charge transport layer/perovskite interface, mainly due to the solvent incompatibility and complexity in perovskite formation. Here SnO2‐KCl composite electron transport layer (ETL) is utilized in planar perovskite solar cells to simultaneously passivate the defects at the ETL/perovskite interface and the grain boundaries of perovskite film. The K and Cl ions at the ETL/perovskite interface passivate the ETL/perovskite contact. Meanwhile, K ions from the ETL can diffuse through the perovskite film and passivate the grain boundaries. An enhancement of open‐circuit voltage from 1.077 to 1.137 V and a corresponding power conversion efficiency increasing from 20.2% to 22.2% are achieved for the devices using SnO2‐KCl composite ETL. The composite ETL strategy reported herein provides an avenue for defect passivation to further increase the efficiency of perovskite solar cells.

Published: December 2019

AbstractObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of parental consanguinity on the 2D:4D digit ratio of newborn infants, whose parents were the first cousins.MethodsThe study included healthy and full‐term newborn infants, delivered in a hospital, at the gestational ages from 37 to 41 weeks. A total of 225 newborns and their parents were included in the study. Of these 225 newborns; 100 were inbred and 125 were outbred infants. We used a Vernier caliper to measure the length of the second and fourth digits of the newborns (accuracy: 0.01 mm).ResultsControlling for education and number of pregnancies, male newborns had lower digit ratios than female newborns, for both left and right hands. There were, moreover, differences between inbred and outbred samples. We determined that inbreeding was related to a reduction in the digit ratios regardless of the side of the hand and the sex of the infant, showing a consistent tendency to appear more masculine. Interaction between marriage type*sex was highly significant.ConclusionsParental consanguinity appears to cause fetal masculinization of digit ratios by increasing fetal stress among Turkish newborns.
Design and fabrication of transdermal drug delivery patch with milliprojections using material extrusion 3D printing
Authors: Tang Tiffany Obog , Holmes Susan , Dean Katherine , Simon George Philip 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACTThis paper investigates the effect of various 3D printing parameters on a transdermal drug delivery system with milliprojections printed using poly(lactic acid) (PLA). The parameters studied involve printing temperature, layer thickness, extrusion width, infill width, and nozzle orifice diameter. Their effects on the final print quality were evaluated based on the surface finish and dimensional accuracy of the milliprojections. The change in the molecular weights of the polymers after extrusion and printing suggests thermal degradation. Further thermal analysis also showed that 3D printing decreases polymer crystallinity. The parameters studied showed varying effects on print quality with respect to PLA types and the dimensions involved. In general, it is sensible to process at temperature close to the melting point of a semicrystalline polymer or at the lowest temperature for which the polymer flows for an amorphous polymer. Although the layer thickness and extrusion width affect each dimension differently, it was found to be a reasonable approach to choose a thinner layer for a more accurate tip, and a thinner infill width for more accurate part diameters. Lastly, it was found that the smaller nozzle orifice and increased spacing between milliprojections produced better surface finish but had no significant effect on part accuracy. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cranium and Vertebral Column of Xingxiulong chengi (Dinosauria: Sauropodomorpha) from the Early Jurassic of China
Authors: Wang Ya‐Ming , Wang Tao , Yang Zhi‐Wen , You Hai‐Lu 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACTThe Lower Jurassic Lufeng Formation in Yunnan Province of southwestern China provides one of the most abundant records of sauropodomorphs in the world. However, most of them have not been fully described. Xingxiulong chengi is among the most complete non‐sauropodan sauropodomorphs ever discovered from Lufeng Formation and is represented by three partial skeletons. Here, we provide a detailed osteological description of its axial skeleton, including both the cranial and postcranial elements, and compare its anatomy with that of other known non‐sauropodan sauropodomorphs. In general, the cranium of Xingxiulong is more similar to those of more basal sauropodomorphs than to sauropodiforms, as evidenced by features such as an only slightly concave dorsal margin of the postorbital, a caudally placed rostral margin of the infratemporal fenestra not extending below the orbit, and long and slender basipterygoid processes divergent from each other at an angle of approximately 80 degrees. However, its postcranial axial skeleton possesses some unique or relatively derived features among basal sauropodomorphs, such as four sacral vertebrae and caudal dorsal vertebrae with laterally expanded neural spine tables. This provides future workers with a reassessment of non‐sauropodan sauropodomorphs through the lens of Xingxiulong chengi, which will serve to increase our knowledge on the anatomy, phylogeny, and furthermore, evolution of sauropodomorph dinosaurs.
