Pengaruh Self Confidence Siswa SMP terhadap Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Matematis
Authors: Hajar Mira Siti , Minarti Eva Dwi 
Published: December 2019

Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat adakah pengaruh positif self confidence siswa SMP terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis matematis. Subjek penelitian yang diambil 30 siswa kelas IX di salah satu SMP swasta di Kota Cimahi. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu metode korelasional dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Instrumen dalam penelitian ini meggunakan tes kemampuan berpikir kritis matematis dan angket self confidence. Tes kemampuan berpikir kritis matematis terdiri dari 4 butir soal yang diadopsi dari Yulia (2015) dan angket self confidence terdiri dari 41 skala pernyataan yang diadopsi dari Sumarmo (2015) dengan indikator : a) percaya kepada kemampuan sendiri, tidak cemas, merasa bebas, dan bertanggung jawab atas perbuatannya. b) bertindak mandiri dalam mengambil keputusan. c) Memilih konsep diri yang positif, hangat dan sopan, dapat menerima dan menghargai orang lain. d) memiliki konsep diri yang positif, hangat dan sopan dapat menerima dan menghargai orang lain. e) berani mengungkapkan pendapat dan memiliki dorongan untuk berprestasi. f) saya mengenal kelebihan dan kekurangan diri sendiri. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan self confidence siswa tidak memiliki pengaruh terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis matematis. Berdasarkan analisis lanjut penyebab self confidence yang kurang pada siswa dalam penelitian ini yaitu tidak ada motivasi siswa ketika menyelesaikan soal matematika. Jika siswa tidak memiliki motivasi dalam menyelesaikan soal matematika maka siswa itu tidak akan berani mengungkapkan pendapat dan memiliki dorongan untuk berprestasi (indikator self confidence). Yang dapat mempengaruhi siswa terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis yaitu kemauan dalam belajar dan menyelesaikan soal matematika, motivasi belajar dan self efficacy merupakan faktor-faktor lain yang dapat mempengaruhi kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa.

The chronic oral toxicity and long-term effects of the basic lead-nickel salt of phthalic acid have been investigated by long-term oral ingestion of white outbred rats. The compound at doses of 1.0 mg/kg; 0.3 mg/kg and 0.1 mg/kg have changed the physiological, behavioral, hematological, biochemical, immunological parameters, as well as the relative weight of internal organs of animals in the six months experiments. The threshold of chronic oral toxicity of the substance is set at 0.1 mg / kg.The study of long-term effects revealed the absence of its mutagenic activity both at the gene (Ames test) and chromosomal (dominant lethal method) levels. In addition, the analyzed compound did not adversely affect the reproductive function of male rats. When entering the body of females during gestation, the toxicant did not reveal embryo-lethal and teratogenic properties.However, chronic administration of the compound into the body of non-pregnant animals at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg contributed to a significant decrease relative to the control of the mass and disk diameter of the placenta, which indirectly indicated the functional inferiority of the organ. Therefore, the considered level of the substance is defined as a threshold for gonadotoxic effect.The obtained data are taken into account in developing of hygienic standard of the estimated component of solid rocket fuels in water reservoirs.
Ore mineralogy of the Chisel Lake Zn-Cu-Ag (+Au) VMS deposit in the Flin Flon – Snow Lake Domain, Manitoba, Canada

Published: December 2019

AbstractThe Chisel Lake deposit, in the Flin Flon – Snow Lake Mineral Belt in northern Manitoba, is characterized by an ore mineral assemblage dominated by pyrite and sphalerite, with minor chalcopyrite, galena, and pyrrhotite and trace amounts of other Cu-, Fe-, Sb-, Sn-, As-, Ni-, and Ag-bearing sulfides. Silver is hosted in a variety of Ag-bearing sulfides (chalcopyrite and freibergite–argentotennantite series) and its own sulfide (acanthite).The major elements chemical compositions of the ore sulfides define two populations of sphalerite (Fe-rich and Fe-poor), three populations of chalcopyrite (pure, Ag-rich, and Ag- and Sb-rich), and a typical galena, in addition to pyrite and pyrrhotite. Trace elements are dominated by Mn and Cd for sphalerite; Sn, Zn, and Ge for chalcopyrite; Se and Ni for pyrrhotite; and As and Co for pyrite. Formation temperature was best estimated, from the Fe and trace elements (Ga, Ge, Mn, and In) concentrations in sphalerite, at approximately 340 °C, with other methods giving less reliable temperature and pressure estimates.

Background: Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that LRTI are the most common global cause of death from infectious diseases. However, the specific etiologic agent associated with LRTI is often unknown.
Aims: We determined the bacterial infections and seasonal patterns associated with LRTI among hospitalized cases at Jordan University Hospital (JUH) for a period of five years.
Methods: We conducted a multi-year study among hospitalized patients in Jordan on LRTI-associated bacterial etiology.
Results: We found bacterial infections among 105 (21.1%) out of 495 LRTI patients. The most frequently identified bacteria in the LRTI patients were Staphylococcus aureus (7.7%) followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.1%). Most of the LRTI patients (95.2%) had at least one chronic disease and many were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (16.8%). Of the 18 (3.64%) patients with LRTI who died at the hospital, 2 had a bacterial infection. We noticed a seasonal pattern of bacterial infections, with the highest prevalence during the winter months.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that early identification of bacterial agents and control of chronic disease may improve clinical management and reduce morbidity and mortality from LRTI.

Abstract
The Alice far-UV imaging spectrograph (700–2050 Å) acquired over 70,000 spectral images during Rosetta’s 2 yr escort mission, including over 20,000 in the months surrounding perihelion when the comet activity level was highest. We have developed automated software to fit and remove ubiquitous H, O, C, S, and CO emissions from Alice spectra, along with reflected solar continuum and absorption from gaseous H2O in the comet’s coma, which we apply to a grand sum of integrations taken near perihelion. We present upper limits on the presence of 1 ion and 17 neutral atomic species for this time period. These limits are compared to results obtained by other Rosetta instruments where possible, as well as to CI carbonaceous chondrites and solar photospheric abundances.
Compact Survey Telescope with a Diameter of 3.6 m
Authors: Terebizh V. Yu. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
An optical layout of a corrected Cassegrain telescope with an aperture of 3.6 m (f/3.0) and a 2.°5 field of view is proposed. The primary and secondary mirrors are standard hyperboloids; all five corrector lenses are made of fused silica and have spherical surfaces. The total length of the optical system is 4.36 m. The rms spot diameter in the “g,” “r,” “i” integral waveband of 0.40–0.82 μm is about 0.″3 across the flat focal surface; the D
80 star diameter is about 0.″4. Due to the low light vignetting, the effective aperture diameter reaches 3.3 m. The comparative simplicity and compactness of the optical layout allow us to consider this system promising for conducting deep sky surveys.

Objective.To examine prospectively self-reported flare characteristics and their longitudinal association with disease activity and patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods.Consecutive RA patients with 28-joint count Disease Activity Score based on C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) < 3.2 and no swollen joints were examined at baseline, Month 6, and Month 12. Assessments included joint counts, DAS28-CRP, visual analog scale–evaluator’s global assessment (EGA), and PRO. Every third month, patients completed the Flare Assessment in Rheumatoid Arthritis and RA Flare Questionnaire, and disclosed self-management strategies. Flaring and non-flaring patients were compared and longitudinal associations between self-reported flare status (yes/no) and disease activity, PRO, and treatment escalation were explored.Results.Among 80 patients with RA [74% females, mean (SD) age 63 (10) yrs, disease duration 11 (7) yrs, and baseline DAS28-CRP 1.9 (0.6)], 64 (80%) reported flare at least once during 12 months. Fifty-five percent of flares lasted less than 1 week. Common self-management strategies were analgesics (50%) and restricted activities (38%). Patients who reported being in flare had consistently higher disease activity measures and PRO compared to patients without flare. In a partly adjusted model, all flare domains, patient-reported swollen and tender joint counts and disease activity measures were associated with flares. In fully adjusted analyses, present flare was independently associated with pain (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.34–2.60), patient-reported swollen joints (OR 1.18, 95% CI 1.03–1.36), and higher EGA (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.04–1.28). Treatment escalation was associated with present flare (p ≤ 0.001).Conclusion.In RA, self-reported flares were frequent, mainly managed by analgesics, substantiated by higher disease activity measures, independently associated with pain and patient-reported swollen joints, and related to treatment escalation.
De la norme à l’exception
Authors: Izcovich Luis 
Published: December 2019

Que devient la triade inhibition, symptôme, angoisse avec le remaniement théorique de Lacan, à la lumière de notre actualité ? Ce texte tente de rendre compte de ce qu’avec Lacan on peut nommer le passage de la vertu de la norme à la vertu de l’exception. On démontrera par ce biais ce qu’on entend dans la psychanalyse par l’opération sur le symptôme et saisir ainsi ce que devient le symptôme du sujet à la fin de l’analyse.
Pulvériser la langue : la lettrérature de Louis Wolfson
Authors: Selin Marie 
Published: December 2019

Le texte de Louis Wolfson, Le schizo et les langues peut être considéré comme un témoignage « à ciel ouvert » au même titre que les mémoires du Président Schreber. Il témoigne d’une lutte acharnée contre la langue maternelle et l’extension de son domaine. Wolfson élabore la jouissance de l’Autre sur un mode novateur, le procédé linguistique qu’il invente permet de recourir à la lettre pour faire littoral à lalangue ici mise à jour dans sa dimension d’obscénité. Il est probable que ce travail adressé à un Autre lui ait permis de trouver une solution sinthomatique, et de rester en vie.
L’Université en éclats
Authors: Askofaré Sidi 
Published: December 2019

L’invention par J. Lacan de la catégorie de « discours universitaire » construite à partir de « l’éduquer » freudien permet de repenser à nouveaux frais ce que recouvre le terme d’université : idée, institution, type de lien social. Sans que ces différentes valeurs se recouvrent. En partant de ce qu’implique la notion de « champ lacanien », interdépendance des discours mais aussi sympathie ou antipathie entre les uns et les autres, cet article tente d’examiner où en sont, aujourd’hui, le discours universitaire et l’institution universitaire dans sa forme contemporaine, c’est-à-dire assujettie à la logique du discours capitaliste. Une thèse s’en dégage : l’Université, dans sa forme actuelle, se vide tendanciellement de ce qui en faisait un « discours » au sens de J. Lacan.
Groundwater influence on soil moisture memory and land–atmosphere fluxes in the Iberian Peninsula
Authors: Martínez-de la Torre Alberto , Miguez-Macho Gonzalo 
Published: December 2019

Abstract. Groundwater plays an important role in the terrestrial water cycle, interacting with the land surface via vertical fluxes through the water table and distributing water resources spatially via gravity-driven lateral transport. It is therefore essential to have a correct representation of groundwater processes in land surface models, as land–atmosphere coupling is a key factor in climate research. Here we use the LEAFHYDRO land surface and groundwater model to study the groundwater influence on soil moisture distribution and memory, and evapotranspiration (ET) fluxes in the Iberian Peninsula over a 10-year period. We validate our results with time series of observed water table depth from 623 stations covering different regions of the Iberian Peninsula, showing that the model produces a realistic water table, shallower in valleys and deeper under hilltops. We find patterns of shallow water table and strong groundwater–land surface coupling over extended interior semi-arid regions and river valleys. We show a strong seasonal and interannual persistence of the water table, which induces bimodal memory in the soil moisture fields; soil moisture “remembers” past wet conditions, buffering drought effects, and also past dry conditions, causing a delay in drought recovery. The effects on land–atmosphere fluxes are found to be significant: on average over the region, ET is 17.4 % higher when compared with a baseline simulation with LEAFHYDRO's groundwater scheme deactivated. The maximum ET increase occurs in summer (34.9 %; 0.54 mm d−1). The ET enhancement is larger over the drier southern basins, where ET is water limited (e.g. the Guadalquivir basin and the Mediterranean Segura basin), than in the northern Miño/Minho basin, where ET is more energy limited than water limited. In terms of river flow, we show how dry season baseflow is sustained by groundwater originating from accumulated recharge during the wet season, improving significantly on a free-drain approach, where baseflow comes from water draining through the top soil, resulting in rivers drying out in summer. Convective precipitation enhancement through local moisture recycling over the semi-arid interior regions and summer cooling are potential implications of these groundwater effects on climate over the Iberian Peninsula. Fully coupled land surface and climate model simulations are needed to elucidate this question.
Coring the sedimentary expression of the early Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event: new stratigraphic records from the Tethys Ocean

Published: December 2019

Abstract. The Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE) interval was cored at Colle di
Sogno and Gajum in the Lombardy Basin (Southern Alps, northern Italy). The
Sogno and Gajum cores recovered 26.83 and 31.18 stratigraphic metres, respectively, of pelagic sediments consisting of marly
limestones, marlstone, marly claystone, and black shale. Drilling at both
sites resulted in 100 % recovery of unweathered material. The pelagic
succession comprises a relatively expanded black shale interval of 4.98 m in
the Sogno core and 15.35 m in the Gajum core, with lower and upper
boundaries without evidence of hiatuses. The Sogno and Gajum cores can be
considered reference sections for the pelagic lower Toarcian interval of the
western Tethys and will provide high-resolution micropaleontological,
inorganic and organic geochemical, isotopic multiproxy data. Integrated
stratigraphy and cyclostratigraphy are predicted to result in estimates of
durations and rates to model the ecosystem resilience to the extreme
perturbations of the T-OAE and gain a better understanding of current global
changes and help provide better projections of future scenarios.
Parsing adverbial complex sentences in ASD-STE100 within ARTEMIS
Authors: Martín Díaz María Auxiliadora 
Published: December 2019

One of the main objectives of Natural Language Processing is the simulation of natural language understanding. Within the applications designed for this purpose today, ARTEMIS follows the paradigm of unification grammars (Sag, I., Wasow, T. & Bender, E. 2003), and unlike other trending computational resources, it is theoretically grounded in linguistic models like RRG (Van Valin & LaPolla 1997 and Van Valin 2005), whose linking algorithm lies at the basis of the parsing process of our interlingua-based system.
A fundamental component of ARTEMIS is the Grammar Development Environment (GDE), where feature-based production rules (syntactic, constructional and lexical) are stored and ready to allow the generation of the enhanced layered structure of the clause of natural language expressions (Periñán-Pascual 2013: 222). Syntactic rules for phrasal constituents and simple sentences have already been described (Cortés-Rodríguez 2016; Cortés-Rodríguez & Mairal-Usón 2016; Díaz-Galán & Fumero-Pérez 2015; Fumero-Pérez & Díaz-Galán 2017; Martín-Díaz 2017 and Martín-Díaz 2018), but it now turns to focus on complex sentences, and, to be more precise, on adverbial subordination.
Bearing in mind the validation of these syntactic rules and the common problems that may arise in such parsing applications, our research will concentrate on the analysis of these structures as found in a Controlled Natural Language: ASD-STE100.
According to Faculty, the Most Important Reasons for Doing Assessment at an HBCU
Authors: Culver Steve , Phipps Greg 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Since the emergence of assessment as a critical force in higher education, “faculty involvement” has repeatedly been identified as essential, yet approaches to assessment have been less than welcoming to faculty and tend to be more accountability-driven than learning-focused and improvement-driven. Past research on the perceptions of faculty regarding outcome assessment has tended to focus on the negative—why faculty are not interested or do not participate. For our study, we were interested in HBCU faculty perceptions regarding assessment, but from a positive perspective. Faculty were asked to distinguish importance among 15 items documented in the literature as benefits to doing assessment. Results indicate that faculty see assessment as taking care of accountability issues but also helping with curricular and program revisions. Interestingly, they see assessment as less likely to facilitate faculty discussions about curriculum. Implications for conducting assessment and further research are discussed.
Malleable and Immutable Student Characteristics: Incoming Profiles and Experiences on Campus
Authors: Ben-Avie Michael , Darrow Brian 
Published: December 2019

AbstractOur predictive models of student success provide evidence that students’ incoming profiles do not define their destiny. We have found that the learning and developmental experiences that they have after enrollment are far more important in predicting persistence, academic achievement, and graduation. In contrast to immutable student demographic characteristics, we have found that malleable characteristics among students (such as academic habits of mind, sense of belonging, and future orientation) predict student success. Paying attention to students’ development does not detract from their learning. In fact, promoting the highest levels of development among students seems to be what helps them reach high academic goals.
Sexual Catharsis as an Experience of the Postfeminist in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged
Authors: Opperman Samantha Ann 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged is not just a fully actualized rendition of her Objectivist philosophy, but a symbol of the possibility of postfeminism in a postindustrial world. Rand's postfeminist signifier, Dagny Taggart, is able to attain this ideal of equality only through the catharsis of the physical relationships with men whom Dagny considers her spiritual equals. The men in Dagny's life each contribute a new awakening to her about herself as she, at the same time, awakens them.
Neither Algerian, nor French: Albert Camus’sPied-NoirIdentity
Authors: Breen Gina Marie 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACTAlbert Camus was born in Mondovi, Algeria, in 1913 to white European settlers of French and Spanish origin. Hence, Camus and his parents belonged to the pied-noir community, a term commonly used to refer to Europeans who settled in Algeria during the French colonial occupation. While Camus chose Algeria as the setting for four of his literary texts, this article focuses on Camus’s first novel, L’Étranger, written during World War II and published in 1942, and his unfinished, posthumous, semiautobiographical novel Le Premier Homme, written during Algeria’s War of Independence and published in 1994, because they both discuss the French Algerian pied-noir community. I argue that this distinction allows them to best convey the evolution of Camus’s pied-noir identity. Through an analysis of these novels, I examine the ambivalence of Camus’s representations of French Algeria. Though his writing has left an ambivalent legacy, I contend that Camus mythologizes the past and present primarily through his pied-noir origins. His poverty and loss are consolidated in his negative prognosis for Algeria’s future, a prognosis that is often mistrustful of Algerian independence. Often his pied-noir upbringing and experiences with poverty and marginality put in question the very possibility of an all-inclusive nation, rendering him incapable of imagining a hybrid community of French and Algerians living together. These works convey the complexity of Camus’s identities, and foreground his attempt and ultimate failure to navigate his past and access memories. In the end, these novels offer us a nuanced exploration of pied-noir marginality.
Does Special Relativity Lead to a Trans-Planckian Crisis?
Authors: Haug Espen Gaarder 
Published: December 2019

In gravity theory, there is a well-known trans-Planckian problem, which is that general relativity theory leads
to a shorter than Planck length and shorter than Planck time in relation to so-called black holes. However, there has been little focus on the fact that special relativity also leads to a trans-Planckian problem, something we will demonstrate here. According to special relativity, an object with mass must move slower than light, but special relativity has no limits on how close to the speed of light something with mass can move. This leads to a scenario where objects can undergo so much length contraction that they will become shorter than the Planck length as measured from another frame, and we can also have shorter time intervals than the Planck time.
The trans-Planckian problem is easily solved by a small modification that assumes Haug&rsquo;s maximum velocity for matter is the ultimate speed limit for something with mass. This speed limit depends on the Planck length, which can be measured without any knowledge of Newton&rsquo;s gravitational constant or the Planck constant.
