The Treatment of Final Coda Consonants in the Acquisition of Romanian Phonology
Authors: Buja Elena 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Final consonant deletion has been attested in the acquisition of English (Johnson–Reimers 2010), Chinese (Hua 2002), Dutch (Fikkert 1994), Hebrew (Adi-Bensaid 2015), Spanish (Goldstein–Citron 2001), and Indonesian (Ulaimah et al. 2016). Previous studies on the acquisition of Romanian phonology (Buja 2015a, b) indicated an extremely low incidence of this phenomenon among the Romanian-speaking children. A possible explanation for it could be the inconsistency in collecting the data (child diaries and longitudinal corpora). By means of an experimental study, i.e. a picture-naming task, this paper aims to prove whether Romanian children do drop final coda consonants. The words describing the pictures presented to the children have a C1(-2)VC1 structure (e.g. drum ‘road, way’, cap ‘head’, nas ‘nose’). The subjects in this small-scale research study were nine monolingual Romanian children aged between 2 and 4 years, who were recorded by their parents. Their spontaneous or imitated productions of the target words were transcribed by using IPA.
The results of the analysis confirm the predictions made in my previous study (Buja 2015b) – namely that final consonant deletion, a very frequent phonological process in the acquisition of various other languages, is not characteristic of the acquisition of Romanian phonology.

Abstract
This research was designed to test the combined efficacy of hot water dipping (HWD) and leaf extracts of Cistus creticus L. subsp. creticus on the storage quality of fresh Valencia oranges. Experiments were laid down according to a completely randomised design with 10 different treatments. Five replications, with five fruits in each replication, were used in the current study, and research was designed to continue for 150 days. Quality characteristics were observed with 30-days interval. The applications of this study were (1) Control [dipping in water at 25°C for 5 min]; (2) HWD at 50°C for 5 min; (3) HWD + Additives (A) [Arabic gum (0.2%), potassium sorbate (0.05%), citric acid (0.05%) and vitamin C (0.05%)] at 50°C for 5 min; (4) Additives alone at 25°C for 5 min; (5) 1.0% C. creticus leaf + HWD + A; (6) 1.0% C. creticus leaf + A; (7) 0.5% C. creticus leaf + HWD + A; (8) 0.5% C. creticus leaf + A; (9) 0.5% C. creticus leaf + HWD and (10) 0.5% C. creticus leaf. According to the results obtained, both the HWD and C. creticus, alone or in combination, were effective in preserving orange weight during storage, preventing pathogenic decay, maintaining visual quality and fruit firmness, delaying the reduction in titratable acidity, increasing ascorbic acid content and reducing respiration rate of the orange fruits. Results also suggested that the combined effect of HWD with C. creticus leaf extracts provided the highest efficacy.

Abstract
A questionnaire survey was carried out to examine the problems caused by invasive alien species (IAS) in Hungarian protected areas (PAs). Results from 144 PAs were evaluated and compared with a previous study of 21 European countries. In the European survey, the most important threats were habitat loss and fragmentation, Hungarian respondents put IAS in first place. Eradication, control and prevention were mentioned among the best strategies against invasive species in both surveys, but Hungarian PA managers emphasized the efficiency of habitat restoration and regulatory as well. Comparing the harmful animals and plants occurring in most Hungarian and European PAs, we found nearly 30% similarity. In most Hungarian PAs domestic cat (Felis catus Linnaeus, 1758) and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) were indicated as most harmful species. The results of our study draw the attention to the species, which are highly invasive in Hungary, but are missing from the European PAs list, therefore may pose a potential threat to other protected areas of Europe.
The neglected cestode infection: Epidemiology of Hymenolepis nana infection among children in rural Yemen
Authors: Al-Mekhlafi H. M. 
Published: November 2020

Summary

Hymenolepis nana is the most common cestode reported in humans worldwide. It is prevalent among children in the tropics and subtropics, particularly in rural poor communities where sanitation is inadequate or lacking. This cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence and significant risk factors of H. nana infection among children in rural Yemen. Faecal samples were collected from 498 children and screened for intestinal parasites by using wet mount, formalin-ether concentration and Kato–Katz techniques. A pretested questionnaire was used to collect demographic, socioeconomic, housing condition, and personal hygiene information. Overall, 77.5 % (386/498) of the children were found to be infected by at least one intestinal parasite species. The overall prevalence of H. nana was 17.5 % (87/498). Multivariate analysis confirmed that an age of < 6 years (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 4.28; 95 % (confidence interval [CI] = 2.04, 8.98), presence of other family members infected with H. nana (AOR = 2.48; 95 % CI = 1.45, 4.24), living in the highlands (AOR = 2.87; 95 % CI = 1.56, 5.26), living in a house without improved toilet facilities (AOR = 2.19; 95 % CI = 1.23, 3.88), not washing vegetables before consumption (AOR = 2.11; 95 % CI = 1.06, 4.19), and not washing hands after defecation (AOR = 1.88; 95 % CI = 1.08, 3.27) were the key factors significantly associated with H. nana infection among the studied children. In conclusion, H. nana is prevalent among children in rural Yemen, particularly among preschool-aged children. Thus, an integrated and effective programme to control intestinal parasitic infections should include preschool-aged children. Such a programme should focus on providing health education on hygienic practices, providing adequate sanitation and improved sources of drinking water, and screening and treating other infected family members.
Banal Nationalism Disputes in Venezuela: 1999–2019
Authors: Andrade Gabriel 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Michael Billig's idea of “banal nationalism” is a useful concept to approach a frequently neglected aspect of Venezuelan political disputes in the past 20 years. In Billig's formulation, banal nationalism is the constant reaffirmation of a nation's identity, through the display of national symbols. After Hugo Chavez rose to power, there were changes to Venezuela's flag, coat of arms, and banknotes. This aroused disputes that served as a micro-cosmos of Venezuela's larger confrontation. This article reviews the disputes over the changes made to those national symbols. It concludes that, although political and economic issues are at stake in Venezuela's current crisis, there are also ongoing culture wars. In that sense, an analysis of Venezuela's recent crisis would be incomplete without a consideration of its banal nationalism disputes.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Travelers along the Onne-seaport to Eleme-junction road corridor in the hub of the oil and gas industry in Port-Harcourt, Nigeria, have continued to experience very serious traffic congestion travel time delays, culminating into loss of man-hours and declining productivity. This study estimated the economic cost of traffic congestion travel time delay along the corridor, with a view to providing economic justification for developing traffic management policies and road infrastructure, to remedy it. A mixed research approach was adopted in which data was sourced through field survey and from secondary sources. The gross output model was used to estimate the output losses occasioned by productive time losses related to traffic congestion. The study established that the average daily traffic congestion travel time delay along the traffic corridor by travelers in trucks, car, bus and taxi modes are 104.17 minutes, 46.60 minutes, 58.5 minutes and 56.4 minutes respectively. The estimated daily aggregate economic cost of output losses associated with traffic congestion time delay on the corridor is 46049809.8 naira (210923.5USD) for all modes. This justifies any investment in traffic congestion remedial strategies along the route.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The improved TiB2 ceramics were obtained in sintering process at the pressure of 5.5 GPa and temperature of 1550 °C in presence of metallic Co powder. The effect of Co content (ranging from 0 wt.% to 10.0 wt.%) on the phase composition, density, microstructure, Vickers hardness and thermal conductivity of TiB2 ceramics was analyzed. A small amount of new phase Co2B has been created in the reaction of TiB2 and Co. The relative density of sintered TiB2 ceramics reached 98.1 %. When the mass fraction of Co increased, the porosity increased, while the hardness first increased and then decreased. The maximal Vickers hardness values were equal to 33.3 GPa or 28.2 GPa when the used load was of 4.9 N or 9.8 N, respectively. The highest reached value of thermal conductivity was 88.9 W˙m−1 ˙ K−1. The dense TiB2 ceramics with improved hardness and thermal conductivity were ascribed to the high pressure sintering method and Co sintering aid. High pressure sintering method provides a new way for the preparation of ceramics materials.

Kedoya Utara Village is an area which is almost always flooded with a height that can reach 1 m every year. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine whether the inundation is caused by channel capacity factors. This study will discuss 9 PHB channels found in Kedoya Utara Village. The data used in this study were obtained from the West Jakarta Water Resources Office, BMKG, and field measurements. Based on calculations obtained 4 channels that have a discharge plan that exceeds the channel capacity of 0,0797-5,7168 m3/s, so the channel dimensions need to be enlarged from 0-2,45 m for the width of the channel base, 0-2,3 m for the width of the section over the channel, and 0,25-0,65 m for the channel height. From the modeling results it is found that the water level for the four channels exceeds the height of the channel causing flooding in the area around the 4 channels. The location of the flood is in accordance with the reality on the ground. In 2016 the four canals were flooded with almost the same rainfall and the deepest inundation point was on Jalan Panjang.

ABSTRACTThe foundation is a lower structure that serves to hold the burden that works from the structure above it the burden is passed on to the ground. The choice of foundation is based on the working load, the type of soil layer that supports the foundation, and the technology that can be used. Therefore, the performance of pile foundations in accepting lateral forces is important in geotechnical practice. In this journal, a centrifuged test model is tested to see the behavior of pile groups that are burdened by lateral loads. To find out the results of the trial, numerical modeling was carried out for the pile groups on clay. The clay soils modeled in this experiment were carried out under normally consolidated and over consolidated kaolin clay soils. The pile group model that was tested consisted of 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 with a distance of center to center 3 times the width of the pile foundation. The results of this numerical analysis will be compared with the results of centrifuged tests that have been done before in other journals.Kata kunci: pile foundation, lateral force , numerical modeling, pile groups ABSTRAKFondasi merupakan struktur bawah yang berfungsi untuk menahan beban yang bekerja dari struktur bangunan diatasnya yang bebannya diteruskan ke tanah.

Published: November 2020

In dental and medical applications, poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) has been widely accepted due to the excellent biocompatibility and easy fabrication. Yet, some of the physical and mechanical characteristics of this compound are considered inferior. Seven groups of PMMA nano-composite samples were reported to be fabricated at laboratory temperature . These samples could be used in manufacturing the complete or partial maxillary denture base. The aim of this research is to prepare nano-composite materials which consist of PMMA as a matrix material and two different types of powder (prepared nanoparticles of SnO2 and natural egg shell powder (ESP)) as strengthening materials. The selected additives were used in many cases as pure or hybrid composites, specifically with weight percentage ratios of 1 and 2 wt%. Several analytical tests, namely AFM, FTIR, XRD and SEM, were used on the prepared nanoparticles. In addition, several tests were applied to assess the mechanical behavior before and after the reinforcement, including thermal conductivity, Vickers micro-Hardness, and water absorption. The results showed that the maximum amount of energy absorption in the composites was 1% at different types of additives, while a significant increase in thermal conductivity was recorded as the SnO2NPs percentage was increased. For surface micro-hardness, an obvious trend of increase was observed with the increase in additive percentage. The highest measured values of micro-hardness (19.59VHS and 13.30VHS) were recorded for the pure composites of 2% ESP and 2% SnO2, respectively. The results of water absorption test showed that higher percentages of ESP and SnO2, separately, within the pure composite resulted in higher water absorption capacity and an increased value of diffusion coefficient (D).

This study aims at finding and analyzing the influence of parenting style and peer group toward the self regulated learning. These goals are considerably based on the lack of student learning independence occurred during the learning process at school. The theory used in this research is the social cognitive of self regulation. This theory explains that the learning independence is formed by individual, behavior, and the environment. This is a quantitative research using an explanatory survey method with the questionnaires as the technique of data collection. They consisted of 32 statements which had been evaluated and were valid and reliable to be tested on the respondents. The simple random sampling was applied in order to choose 120 high school students in Purwakarta. All the data were then analyzed by applying the multiple regressions using SPSS. The result of this research shows that there is a positive and a significant effect between the parenting parents and peer group toward the student learning independence. Therefore, parents should adjust the parenting model to the children’s condition as well as implement the values and the basic principles in addition, the role of peer groups is also needed to develop basic values and provide motivation to become more independent figures.Keywords: self regulated learning, Character building, parenting style, peer group, social interactions
