Published: October 2020

Background:
The contemporary bioethanol production technologies are based on the utilization of plant lignocellulosic biomass. These technologies require conducting regular search, breeding, and creation of new energy crops. In particular, significant attention is paid to plants of the genus Miscanthus - perennial grasses that have a great potential as renewable energy sources. The main advantages of representatives of this species are considered to be high biomass yield, cold tolerance, a low requirement to soil conditions, long-term use of plantation, etc. M. × giganteus is the most promising species of the genus. The last is a sterile allotriploid originated through the hybridization of M. sinensis and M. sacchariflorus. Due to the problem with sexual reproduction, there is a lack of genotypes necessary for plant breeding programs to improve this species. Thus, polyploidization is an indispensable approach for obtaining new genotypes of M. × giganteus.

Objective:
The aim of this work is to review the attempts and methodologies employed to induce polyploidy in plants belonging to the genus Miscanthus.

Methods:
For this purpose, the concentrations and duration of treatment with different antimitotic agents in species, within this genus, have been considered. Methods for ploidy level determination and evaluation of biological and biochemical traits in the resulting polyploids have also been reported.

Results:
The application of antimitotic agents in vitro is the most effective and commonly used method of polyploidization in Miscanthus. The most effective antimitotic compounds appeared to be the well-known dinitroanilines, such as oryzalin and trifluralin, as well as new dinitroanilines with significantly lower phytotoxicity level.

Conclusion:
Polyploidization in Miscanthus has been investigated by various research groups worldwide. Currently, polyploid forms of M. sinensis, M. sacchariflorus and M. × giganteus have been obtained. The biological and biochemical traits of the obtained polyploids differ significantly from their original forms. However, the challenge of fertility restoration of M. × giganteus has not been resolved yet.
Molecular mechanism of TLR4 mediated T cell immune effect in transfusion-induced acute lung injury based on Slit2/Robo4 signaling pathway

Published: October 2020

Objective:
To explore and investigate the molecular mechanism of TLR4 mediated T cell immune effect in
transfusion-induced acute injury based on SLIT2/ROBO4 signaling pathway.

Methods:
Sixty C57/BL6 male mice (Wild type, WT) aged 8 to 10 weeks were randomly divided into 5 groups: 1) normal
type WT, 2) LPS control group of WT type lipopolysaccharide, 3) WT type TRALI group (LPS + MHC-I mAb), 4)
(TLR4 antibody) lipopolysaccharide LPS control group, 5) (TLR4 antibody) TRALI group (LPS + MHC-I mAb). Mice
were dosed with LPS (0.1 mg / kg), and MHC-I mAb (2 mg / kg) was injected into the tail vein 24 hours later for
modeling. After 2 hours, mice were sacrificed and experimental samples were collected. HE staining was performed to
detect pathological features. The myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and the level of IL-2, IL-6, TNF, IFN-γ, IL-17A as well
as IL-10 were measured in the lung tissue homogenate supernatant. Blood, spleen single cell suspension and
bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected to detect the ratio of Treg and Th17 cells by flow cytometry,
respectively. RT-PCR and WB indicated the mRNA or protein expression of CDH5 (Cadherin-5), SLIT2 and ROBO4 in
mouse lung tissue and pulmonary vascular tissue respectively.

Results:
TLR4 mAb treatment decreases the pathological features of LPS induced ALI model in vivo. And so does the
MPO activity as well as the level of proinflammatory factors in the lung tissue. TLR4 exerts its function through the
changes of Treg/Th17 ratio via SLIT2/ROBO4 signaling pathway and downregulating CDH5 and SETSIP in ALI model.

Conclusion:
TLR4 mediates immune response in LPS induced ALI model through SLIT2/ROBO4 signaling pathway.
The Reconstruction of a Javanese Civilization Cultural Landscape in 8 AD based on Canggal Inscription in Gendol Hill Complex, Magelang, Central Java
Authors: Wirasanti Niken , Murwanto Helmi 
Published: October 2020

The research took place in the Gendol Hill complex, Magelang, Central Java. One of the peaks in the hills complex is Mount Wukir, where a Canggal Inscription was found. The Canggal Inscription mentions an area named Java, rich in agricultural products with many sacred buildings. The term Javanese refers to an area of Gendol Hill complex, which is part of the Kedu–Central Java region. This paper aims to 1) interpret the cultural landscape of the Gendol Hill complex, 2) reconstruct the spatial structure (layout), and its utilization as a settlement area for Javanese society in the 8th century. This paper interprets the Canggal Inscription and collates information about the potential of both biotic and non-biotic resources. Data processing is conducted through inductive–explanatory analysis. The results suggest that the Cultural Landscape of Gunung Wukir Temple was in a place protecting it from disaster. The complex was protected by Gendol Hills, acting as a barrier against volcanic eruptions from Mount Merapi. Gendol Hill complex was located in an environment that flourished with both biotic and non-biotic resources. The community cultivated its alluvial plains and established settlements in this area. The denuded structural hills were also perceived as sacred spaces to erect temples with natural resources close by such as andesite rocks available from rivers around the hills.
Palestine and Israel Representation in the National and International News Media: A Critical Discourse Study
Authors: Suwarno Suwarno , Sahayu Wening 
Published: October 2020

Despite a myriad of studies that have been reported in analysing media discourse, few works take into account media bias. In response to this empirical gap, the present critical discourse study (CDS) aims to expose how the biggest national and international news media, The Jakarta Post and The New York Times construct the media bias in depicting Palestine and Israel regarding the latest conflicts in 2019 and 2020. The transitivity system of Halliday’s systemic functional linguistics (SFL) was adopted to examine the textual features or choice of words in the clauses of 4 news articles from each news media. The findings show that both mainstream media have similarities, as if more favors to Palestine as the victim of the conflicts rather than Israel as a war criminal nation. However, The Jakarta Post and The New York Times have different sensitivities in constructing media bias. This empirical evidence suggests that critical discourse analysis (CDA) has a pivotal role in comprehending language used in media discourses. The last but not least, combining CDA and another theoretical approach is suggested for future studies.
The Rewriting of Mythology (Remythology) and Decolonization in Eka Kurniawan’s Man Tiger
Authors: Fathonah Annisa Widyawati 
Published: October 2020

This article examines the rewriting of mythology (remythology) in Eka Kurniawan’s magic realism novel titled Man Tiger (2004). The discussion particularly explores how the remythology of the Indonesian myth of manusia harimau responses to historical references that are embedded in the narrative. I found that remythology in the novel is used to replicate people’s voice, and by using that voice, the Indonesian nation attempts to decolonize itself from colonization and to epitomize a resistance against postcolonial powers. The myths surrounding manusia harimau in the novel further provide references to Indonesia’s identity that is located between two separate identities, the indigenous and the colonial, which comprise resistance as well as resilience. By using various local mythical frameworks, Eka Kurniawan addresses the complexity of the Indonesian nation which constitutes an acknowledgement, and an interpretation, as well as a response to the past in order to form a resilient present.
Lo popular y lo moderno. Exhibir arquitectura popular en el México de los años cincuenta
Authors: Goldman Zoe

<p class="p2">En octubre de 1952, la exposición <em>Arquitectura popular mexicana </em>se inauguró en la Ciudad Universitaria (CU) de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). La presentación de imágenes de arquitectura vernácula dentro de edificios identificados con la cúspide del movimiento moderno de México sugirió la cómoda convivencia y los principios compartidos entre lo moderno y lo vernáculo, además de la utilidad de la cultura vernácula para inspirar y contextualizar la arquitectura moderna de México como única, específica y atemporal. Sin embargo, a través de su modo de organización y exhibición, la exposición convirtió los edificios específicos en símbolos y posicionó a la arquitectura vernácula y a sus constructores como respaldo, extensivo a una modernidad arquitectónica específicamente mexicana.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

Criminal Anti-Corruption in the Era of Digital Technologies: The Russian Experience
Authors: Serebrennikova Anna V. , Trefilov Alexander A. 
Published: October 2020

This study examines the problems of combating corruption in contemporary public relations in the Russian Federation. The relevance of the study lies in active development of modern digital technologies, and digitalizing public legal relations has brought positive experience to many countries in reducing corruption and state control over the work and activities of officials, where corrupt activities could have been possible earlier. It is important to note that the Russian Federation is on the path to positive changes in this area. This is due to the “Digital Economy” programme and developments in the field of legislation that could introduce the use of smart contracts in public procurement, tenders, contracts, - the operational area of the legal entity of the state sector. It is important to note that the creation of interactive rooms is effective, and aids in precluding personal communication between an official and an individual, as well as offers other innovative schemes using digital technologies to increase the efficiency of anti-corruption activities. Another optimal way that can reduce corruption is the availability and publicity of information regarding material resources, business and the family of officials. Today, officials of the Russian Federation may not indicate their income in cryptocurrencies in their declarations, which, in fact, can serve as a method to hide income.
Withdrawal from the Consent to Process Personal Data Provided as Counter-Performance: Contractual Consequences
Authors: Kull Irene 
Published: October 2020

This article deals with the Directive (EU) 2019/770 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 on certain aspects concerning contracts for the supply of digital content and digital services. The Directive says that Member States are free regarding the question of the legal nature of contracts for the supply of digital content or digital services. The Directive must be transposed into national law by 1 July 2021 and the date of entry into force of the transposition rules shall be 1 January 2022. As contracts for the supply of digital content and digital services were not previously regulated, the major challenges for Member States are the contractual meaning of personal data and categorisation of these contracts. The article explores the link between consumer consent to process personal data and the contractual consequences of withdrawal from such consent, specifically the trader’s right to terminate the contract. The author supports the need to grant traders the right to terminate the contract in order to provide balance between the rights and obligations of the parties in accordance with the existing national law.
Acquisition of Ownership Through Prescription (Usucaption)
Authors: Rozenfelds Jānis 
Published: October 2020

The article contains comparative analysis of acquisitive prescription, its legal and factual preconditions and consequences in Latvian law. The purpose of the acquisitive prescription is to remove legal uncertainty created by internal defects of the conditions of acquisition of the property inter vivos. However, the complex system of acquisitive prescription under Latvian law does not always achieve this goal. It seems that the system is overly complicated. The cases in which acquisitive prescription is the last resort for the claimant to ascertain his or her ownership of immovable property are leaving the question of ownership unsolved. Introduction of another, simplified alternative to the existing one could be helpful for the solution of numerous cases of failed attempts to prove ownership.
COMPORTAMENTO DO VENTO E ASPECTOS GEOMÓRFICOS QUE CONDICIONAM A MOVIMENTAÇÃO DA PLUMA DE POLUENTES ATMOSFÉRICOS DO DISTRITO INDUSTRIAL DE PIRAPORA - MG
Authors: Ribeiro Elizene Veloso , Carvalho Vilma Lúcia Macagnan , Horn Adolf Heinrich , Trindade Wallace Magalhães 
Published: October 2020

As plumas de poluição atmosférica originadas nas áreas industriais respondem por considerável parte dos compostos que entram na atmosfera. A movimentação destes poluentes é condicionada por variáveis que incluem as propriedades do material emitido, condições meteorológicas e características da superfície. Este trabalho apresenta uma análise da circulação da pluma de particulados atmosféricos emitidos no distrito industrial de Pirapora-MG. A metodologia inclui o estudo da direção e velocidade dos ventos; levantamento da extensão e direção da pluma em imagens de satélite e avaliação do condicionamento geomorfológico baseado em levantamentos de campo e dados SRTM. A dinâmica atmosférica regional histórica é marcada por ventos de nordeste (NE) e direciona a movimentação preferencial da pluma para sudoeste (SW). A geomorfologia atua no controle da dispersão por meio de dois corredores geomorfológicos (NE-SW) e (E-W), estes delimitados por barreiras orográficas nas cotas médias de 600m e 800m. Foi verificado no quadrante oeste (W) perfil de pluma com extensão de 128,5 km, sendo este o de maior risco ambiental devido à deposição de poluentes transportados por ventos de leste (E). As imagens de satélite associadas à dinâmica dos ventos e feições do relevo permitiram a identificação das áreas com maior possibilidade de degradação da qualidade do ar e acúmulo de material particulado. Estes resultados serão importantes no direcionamento dos estudos de contaminação nos compartimentos ambientais receptores (solo e vegetação) na área de deposição da pluma e poderão subsidiar ações de gestão ambiental, bem como auxiliar na tomada de decisões por parte dos gestores públicos.

A produção de saberes endogenos sobre Africa e as mulheres africanas.
Authors: Veloso Helena Cosma da Graça Fonseca 
Published: October 2020

Este artigo aborda sobre os saberes endogenos da África e sobre as mulheres africanas. Utilizou-se dos estudos sobre gênero para demonstrar as engrenagens sociais que ao longo dos séculos têm operado no sentido de conformar a mulher à condição de uso segundo o sexo e reduzido a invisibilidade os modos de vida e as trajectorias de mulheres não ocidentes. Entende-se que não se pode falar mais de “a mulher” e sim de “as mulheres”, pois, na contemporaneidade estas mulheres não estão mais aprisionadas a uma única narrativa, a da mulher do ocidente. Aponta a necessidade de construir uma narrativa mais afrocentada, focada nas mulheres africanas e necessidade de formular a especificidade da trajectoria da mulher angolana em contraposição às ocidentais
Mentoring in Iceland: An Integral Part of Professional Development?
Authors: Svanbjörnsdóttir Birna , Hauksdóttir Hildur , Steingrímsdóttir Maria 
Published: October 2020

The main aim of this article is to give an overview of the development of mentoring for newly qualified teachers (NQTs) in Iceland and to shed light on the outcome of a mentoring education program developed by the University of Akureyri.
Over the past few years, mentoring and induction have gained momentum in research and scholarly writings in Iceland. Teacher dropout rates, teacher shortages and occupational stress have highlighted the importance of induction plans and mentoring for NQTs (Bjarnadóttir, 2005; Bjarnadóttir, 2015; Steingrímsdóttir & Engilbertsson, 2018).
As of 2013, the Department of Education at the University of Akureyri has offered an education program (30 ECTS credits) with a focus on mentoring. An evaluation of this program was conducted in order to assess the learning outcomes and the structure of the program, focusing on the following research question: How have the teachers who have completed the mentoring program at the University of Akureyri experienced it in terms of their professional development and work as mentors? Also, we wanted to find out if a “third space” had been realized, where teacher educators, local authorities and practicing teachers come together and learn from each other on the premise of professional improvement. Data was collected through focus-group interviews, self-evaluation and action research of participants in the mentoring program.
Our findings imply that the teachers involved found themselves to be more competent after completing the mentoring program, with deeper understanding of the theories behind mentoring which was reflected in their increased engagement in school improvement.
Sounding Harlem: Ann Petry’s The Street and the Experience of “Dwelling”
Authors: Yeldho Joe Varghese 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
The essay focuses on the thematic coming into being of a place mapped through practices of listening. Sound, noise, and music are seen as part of the racially informed urban “everyday.” The reading depends on the isovist narration of The Street (1946) by Ann Petry, documenting Harlem during the 1940s. The text develops a narrative predicated on the use of aurality as a means of “dwelling upon” the site of a home; a place to live, but where the idea of habitation is compromised by the need to reside. The figural horizon created by Petry anticipates dwelling as Heideggerian habitation rather than as occupation. For Heidegger, the conventional edifice of housing illustrates the forced settling of land. This contradicts his principle of dwelling as a way to remain in a place, leaving us perpetually in search of the dwelling that is more than home. The streets of Harlem cite, among other instruments, the nomadism of such residing, as it attempts to breach the conflicting boundaries of “white” ownership. The trajectory of this subversive foray draws upon the improvisations of a Harlem soundscape, as it works out a means of dwelling anew.
Marital Suffering in Sylvia Plath’s Poetry: A Feminist Reading
Authors: Mozumder Subrata Chandra 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
This article discusses marital suffering, as portrayed by Sylvia Plath from a feminist viewpoint, and claims that her delineation of marital afflictions is a tool of protest against patriarchal oppression. In a convention-ridden patriarchal society, a woman usually cannot express her voice and remains suffocated by her personal agony and ache. However, Plath tries to break the conventions in her poetry, by representing the unjust institution of patriarchal marriage, which treats women as commodities. Many critics have noted that Plath’s marital sufferings are responsible for her suicidal death, which is a means of protest against, and resistance to, patriarchy. Since her poetry represents both her psycho-social suffering and her fight against the margins set by patriarchal society, one may consider her poetry to be a weapon of setting her “self,” as well as other women’s, free from male-dominated psychological imprisonment. The article explores how Plath’s poetic persona emerges as the Phoenix, the libertarian spirit, by deliberately exposing her marital sufferings, psycho-sexual torture, husband’s infidelity, and the ultimate death resulting from conjugal unhappiness, which is interpreted as a protest against all kinds of patriarchal discriminations.
Rosa Sonneschein’s Fin-the-Siècle Fiction: The Clashing Worlds of Zionism, Reform Judaism, Feminism and Conformity
Authors: Rabinovich Irene 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Rosa Sonneschein (1847–1932) was an important figure in late nineteenth-century American journalism, activism, and fiction. While a few brief studies were dedicated to her biography and to her role as a Jewish social activist, editor, and contributor to The American Jewess, no critical work has been devoted as yet to her literary production. The aim of this essay is to rectify this critical neglect by examining Sonneschein’s wide literary opus and by investigating its connection, if any, to the views she expressed as a journalist and a public speaker. This essay will explore Sonneschein’s threefold literary oeuvre, consisting of the following genres: Jewish fiction, non-Jewish fiction, and literary sketches. It will also try to explicate Rosa’s often conflicting stance with regard to Judaism, feminism, and Zionism, a standpoint which should be examined in the context of the fin-the-siècle’s turbulent changes American society had to cope with, especially pertaining to massive immigration, religious and social reforms, suffrage and temperance movements, etc.
