Authors: Plotner Anthony J. , Ezell Jordan A. , VanHorn-Stinnitt Chelsea , Rose Chad A. 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Attending college can lead to many benefits including better outcomes in adult life for college graduates. This concept is applicable to all students, including students with intellectual disability who are attending institutions of higher education programs to refine social, academic, employment, and independent living skills. Similar to their typical peers, students with intellectual disability enrolled in postsecondary education programs endure levels of stress that result in the application of coping strategies necessary to navigate various social domains of college life, including romantic relationships, friendships, roommate relationships, and social media interactions. The present study utilizes survey and interview data to examine which coping strategies are used by college students with mild intellectual disability. When faced with stressful situations, almost one-third of study participants chose Planful Problem Solving as their first choice coping strategy in the Romantic domain, and almost half of respondents used it to deal with stressful situations related to Friendships. More than a third of college students with intellectual disability chose Confrontive Coping as their preferred strategy in the Roommate and Social Media domains. Findings are consistent with previous research, which suggests that young adults with intellectual disability use Problem-Focused strategies most frequently when dealing with stressful situations. Implications for research and practice are also presented and discussed.

Abstract
This study measured quality of life (QOL) for transition-age youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and college youth without IDD. Transition-age youth with IDD (n = 19) and college youth without IDD (n = 30) were interviewed using the Quality of Life-Questionnaire (QOL-Q). One-way between-subjects analysis of variances (ANOVAs) and multivariable linear regression were used to explore differences between the groups and identify QOL predictors. Youth with IDD scored significantly lower on the QOL-Q than college youth without IDD. They scored lower in Independence, Community Integration, and Productivity; however, no significant difference was found in Satisfaction. Although studies have examined QOL for children, youth with autism spectrum disorder, and adults, additional research is needed on the factors that contribute to QOL among transition-age youth with IDD in order to improve the quality of their transition to adulthood.
Roughness model of an optical surface in ultrasonic assisted diamond turning
Authors: Xing Yintian , Liu Yue , Yang Chao , Xue Changxi 
Published: September 2020

In this paper, the theoretical model is established to predict the optical surface roughness of difficult-to-cut material in ultrasonic assisted diamond turning (UADT). The effects of kinematics, material elastic recovery, and plastic side flow aiming at the characteristics of vibration cutting are considered. The convincing results predicted can be obtained when main machining parameters change, such as cutting speed, cutting depth, tool feed rate, tool frequency, and amplitude. Furthermore, the qualitative analysis of the model is demonstrated on the basis of comparing the trend variation by theoretical results and simulative results with the finite element method (FEM). The arithmetic average value of the vertical coordinates of the workpiece surface nodes is regarded as the surface roughness in the FEM. The minimum mesh size of workpiece is set as 5 nm in order to gain relatively exact results and avoid exceeded element distortions. Moreover, the accuracy of the predictive model is verified by cutting the MB5 magnesium alloy with UADT. The maximum error for surface roughness Ra is merely 10.26%, and average error is only about 6% after analyzing experiment and prediction results. The optimal surface roughness Ra of magnesium alloy reflector can be 3.388 nm with UADT so that the optical application level is realized only by UADT means without subsequent abrasive machining. Therefore, the predicting model is valuable for theory guidance and engineering application in the optical manufactory field of difficult-to-cut material with UADT.

Published: September 2020

We report the generation of tunable high-repetition-rate picosecond pulses in the near-infrared at high average power with record conversion efficiency using single-pass optical parametric generation (OPG) and amplification (OPA) in MgO:PPLN, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. By deploying a mode-locked Yb-fiber laser at 1064 nm providing 21 ps pump pulses at 80 MHz, and a cascade of two 50-mm-long MgO:PPLN crystals, we generate up to 8.3 W of total average output power at a conversion efficiency of 59% over a tunable range of 513 nm, across 1902–2415 nm, with a record threshold as low as 600 mW (7.5 nJ). The two-stage OPG-OPA scheme provides control over fine wavelength tuning and output spectral bandwidths, enabled by the independent control of phase-matching in each crystal. The OPG-OPA output exhibits high spatial beam quality and excellent passive power and central wavelength stability better than 0.9% rms and 0.1% rms, respectively, over 1 hour. The output pulses have a duration of

Authors: Smyser Michael E. , Braun Erik L. , Athmanathan Venkat , Slipchenko Mikhail N. , Roy Sukesh , Meyer Terrence R. 
Published: September 2020

A burst-mode laser system is developed for hybrid femtosecond/picosecond (fs/ps) rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (RCARS) at megahertz rates. Using a common fs oscillator, the system simultaneously generates time synchronized 1061 nm, 274 fs and 1064 nm, 15.5 ps pulses with peak powers of 350 MW and 2.5 MW, respectively. The system is demonstrated for two-beam fs/ps RCARS in

at 1 MHz with a signal-to-noise ratio of 176 at room temperature. This repetition rate is an order of magnitude higher than previous CARS using burst-mode ps laser systems and two to three orders of magnitude faster than previous continuously pulsed fs or fs/ps laser systems.
Improving Hepatitis B Virus Vaccination Responses in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Does Greater Dose and Greater Frequency Lead to Greater Protection?
Authors: Banty Andrea , Melmed Gil Y. 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Prevention of hepatitis B (HBV) infection is particularly important for patients with inflammatory bowel disease because of risks of HBV reactivation on immunosuppressive therapies. However, immune responses to standard HBV vaccination regimens are suboptimal. Chaparro et al. compared immune responses to 2 vaccines, an adjuvanted HBV vaccine (Fendrix) and double-dosed standard vaccine (Engerix-B) using an accelerated, 4-dose regimen (0, 1, 2, and 6 months). Although the study did not demonstrate superiority of one vaccine over another, several lessons can be derived regarding immune response to vaccinations among patients with inflammatory bowel disease, including the need to consider nonstandard regimens for patients on immunosuppression. These lessons can be translated broadly, including to a potential future severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccine when one becomes available.
Looks like a duck, quacks like a hand: Tools for eliciting evidential and epistemic distinctions, with examples from Lamjung Yolmo (Tibetic, Nepal)
Authors: Gawne Lauren 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThis article describes the use of eight research tools used in the documentation of evidential and modal use in Lamjung Yolmo, a Tibeto-Burman language of Nepal. For each tool, the methodology is described, and some examples of the usefulness and limitations are discussed. The methods include use of existing and novel tools and materials. Image tasks included the existing resources Family Problem Picture Task and Jackal and Crow, as well as optical illusions. Object tasks included the hidden objects game and magic tricks. Listening and talking tasks included the game twenty questions, reporting previous speech, and a grammaticality judgement task based on multiple reports. Making research methods more transparent, and the open sharing of data and materials, allows us to move forward with better understanding of the contexts of evidential use, and more nuanced cross-linguistic typological analysis of evidential systems.
Dielectric relaxation and current conduction mechanism of Tb and Mn codoped bismuth ferrite grafted poly (vinyl alcohol) nanocomposite film
Authors: Halder Monalisa , Meikap Ajit Kumar 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Investigation on current conduction mechanism through Tb and Mn codoped Bismuth Ferrite grafted polyvinyl alcohol (BTFMO-PVA) nanocomposite film above room temperature (300 K – 415 K) is reported here in detail. A detailed study on dielectric properties of the sample is done over a wide temperature range in a frequency range of 20 Hz - 2MHz. The conduction is attributed to correlated barrier hopping model. Bipolaron hopping dominates over single-polaron hopping in this system. Complex electric modulus spectra and complex modulus spectra are well explained by suitable models to understand the effective dielectric response. The sample responds to the externally applied magnetic field exhibiting negative magnetocapacitance at room temperature.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
In this study, the influence of cutting speed and feed rate on surface integrity in Boring Trepanning Association (BTA) deep hole drilling of AISI 4140+QT is investigated. Microstructure and micro-hardness in the subsurface zones of bores are analyzed, using metallographic and micromagnetic methods. It was found that when using high feed rates and cutting speeds, white etching layers (WEL) form at the surface of the bores. These layers are up to three times harder than the substrate material and have a maximum thickness of approx.

below the surface. Magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) analysis proved to be applicable for the fast and reliable detection of WEL. The presented results contribute to gaining a deeper understanding of the complex interrelations between the design of the BTA process, the resulting microstructure in the machined component and the properties of the conditioned surface. Based on discovered correlations, a dynamic process control will be developed for BTA deep hole drilling, which will allow reliably tailoring surface integrity of components to specific demands, like an optimized fatigue performance.

Abstract
Current plant-derived anticancer therapeutics aim to reach higher effectiveness, to potentiate chemosensitivity and minimize the toxic side effects compared to conventional chemotherapy. Cotinus coggygria Scop. is a herb with high pharmacological potential, widely applied in traditional phytotherapy. Our previous study revealed that leaf aqueous ethanolic extract from C. coggygria exerts in vitro anticancer activity on human breast, ovarian and cervical cancer cell lines. The objective of the present research was to investigate possible molecular mechanisms and targets of the antitumor activity of the extract in breast cancer MCF7 cells through analysis of cell cycle and apoptosis, clonogenic ability assessment, evaluation of the extract genotoxic capacity, characterization of cells thermodynamic properties, and analysis on the expression of genes involved in cellular epigenetic processes. The obtained results indicated that in MCF7 cells C. coggygria extract causes S phase cell cycle arrest and triggers apoptosis, reduces colony formation, induces DNA damage, affects cellular thermodynamic parameters, and tends to inhibit the relative expression of DNMT1, DNMT3a, MBD3, and p300. Further studies on the targeted molecules and the extract anti-breast cancer potential on animal experimental model system, need to be performed in the future.
A New Model for Optimizing Firefighter Human Performance
Authors: Romero Manny , Alvar Brent 
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT
Firefighting is a profession that has the potential to be extremely demanding, both physically and mentally. More specifically, these tactical personnel must be physically fit to perform their occupational requirements, all while they are exposed to daily stressors. This is likely to include everything from physical strain and shift work to interrupted sleep and witnessing potentially traumatizing events. Failure to prepare and mitigate these occupational demands can have long-lasting implications to overall performance as well as health and wellness. Unfortunately, many of these elements often go unaddressed. As such, considerations for collaborative and overarching cross-disciplinary allied health teams should be made. Human performance optimization (HPO) is a model that has been successfully adopted by the U.S. military to enhance the overarching health, wellness, and performance of soldiers. This article proposes the utilization of a similar HPO model by providing a rationale for how it can be used to reduce premature morbidity and mortality, as well as increasing overall readiness and resilience within the firefighting profession.
Estimation of the SNP Mutation Rate in Two Vegetatively Propagating Species of Duckweed

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Mutation rate estimates for vegetatively reproducing organisms are rare, despite their frequent occurrence across the tree of life. Here we report mutation rate estimates in two vegetatively reproducing duckweed species, Lemna minor and Spirodela polyrhiza. We use a modified approach to estimating mutation rates by taking into account the reduction in mutation detection power that occurs when new individuals are produced from multiple cell lineages. We estimate an extremely low per generation mutation rate in both species of duckweed and note that allelic coverage at de novo mutation sites is very skewed. We also find no substantial difference in mutation rate between mutation accumulation lines propagated under benign conditions and those grown under salt stress. Finally, we discuss the implications of interpreting mutation rate estimates in vegetatively propagating organisms.
Liderazgo intersubjetivo: Hacia una emancipación educativa
Authors: Mijares Luna Libia 
Published: September 2020

Inter-leadership promotes educational emancipation. This essay seeks to position itself critically and reflectively about the figure of leadership in our pedagogical tasks for addressing educational realities. It is based on horizontality and intersubjectivity as key aspects for achieving change in the dominant power structures that do not escape the educational curriculum, schools or universities, and each social context that echoes traditional social regulation. This way, it aims to promote some pedagogical tools to address our educational realities, in which the figure of inter-leadership contributes towards a real participation of the social agents involved in the educational process.

Published: September 2020

AbstractA simple and sensitive liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric (LC-MS) method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of ezetimibe (EZE), atorvastatin calcium (ATO), and simvastatin (SMV) in combined dosage forms and human plasma. Successful separation of the studied drugs was achieved on a Zorbax Eclipse Plus C18 column (3.0 × 150 mm, 5 µm) using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid in water (65:35, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.5 mL min−1. Total run time was 9.3 min and diclofenac sodium was used as internal standard (IS). Positive selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode was applied where, the monitored ions were those at m/z values of 392.1, 559.3, 296.0, and 441.4 corresponding to EZE, ATO, IS, and SMV, respectively. The method was fully validated according to the ICH guidelines. The intraday and interday precision showed relative SD values not more than 1.77 and 1.99%; respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) were 0.25, 0.25, and 0.75 ng mL−1 while the limits of quantification (LOQ) were 1.25, 0.75, and 2.5 ng mL−1 for EZE, ATO, and SMV, respectively. The developed method was applied on two types of combined tablets concerning drug assay with mean percent recoveries within acceptable range. The method has been extended to the determination of the studied drugs in human plasma where, a solid phase extraction method was optimized for their extraction with percent recovery not less than 97%.

Of Mice and Men is a novel written by John Steinbeck, published in 1937. It tells about the story of George Milton and Lenny Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers, who move from place to lace in California in searching of a new job opportunities during the Great Depression in the United States. The novel is translated to Indonesian by Pramoedya Ananta Toer in “Tikus dan Manusia. So, it seems fun to analyse how the translator transfer meaning from source language to target language, especially in translating swearword which is found in the novel. The researcher used Hudges’s (1991) theory about swearword and Molina and Albir (2005), and Fawcet(1997) about translation techniques used by the translator. From the analysis, the researcher found 9 data of imbecile term for nuts, cuckoo, and ain’t bright, 23 data general terms for bastard and crazy, 39 data of death terms for the hell and goddamn, 6 data of mother in law terms for son of bitch, 1 data of racist for Nigger, 3 data of animal terms of rats, chicken, and cat, and 6 data of sexual irregulities for tart and bitch. It is also, 5 kinds of swearword translation techniques in the research, they are 9 data of literal translation, 1 data of particularization, 1 data of reduction, 3 data of transposition and 1 data of adaptation
A Method to Promote the Development of Intelligence and Game Skills in Youth Football
Authors: Esposito Giovanni , D’Elia Francesca , Raiola Gaetano 
Published: September 2020

Research purpose. The aim of the study is to evaluate the playing skills of the young players under investigation in a global context. Specifically, it is intended to test whether the proposed training methodology favorably influenced the development of game skills, increasing the efficiency of game performance.
Materials and methods. The study participants are 24 young players, aged between 13 and 14. To achieve the tasks set, the study relied on the following methods: analysis of scientific literature, field testing and methods of mathematical statistics. The experimental group performed a specific training mesocycle (that of the Brain Kinetic), while the control group performed a traditional working mesocycle. To detect the effects of the training methodologies, field tests were used both before and after the training period, respecting the execution protocols described by H. Wein. The study materials were processed by the statistical analysis software-IBM SPSS 22. A paired sample t-test was used to compare the results of the two groups.
Results. The t-test analysis indicates statistically significant changes in the training effect of the experimental group. A better performance index found in the experimental group in the execution of skills, compared to the control group, is due to the diversification of the methodology to which they were subjected. Therefore, the changes after training at each skill index are amplified by the subsequent repetition of the tests. Differences between test indicators are statistically significant (p = 0.25)
Conclusions. The study, through the use of field tests, has confirmed the hypothesis that the use of the Brain Kinetic training method determines a positive training effect in skill exercises. This method allowed the players involved in the experimental group to take personal, individual and group actions that had a real impact on the outcome of the game.

Authors: Sánchez Villegas José Alfonso , Jiménez León José , López Elías Jesús , Rascon Chu Agustín 
Published: September 2020

La remolacha azucarera es un cultivo tradicionalmente de zonas templadas, aunque el desarrollo de nuevas variedades, permite su explotación en regiones tropicales y subtropicales. Sin embargo, para obtener buenos rendimientos y alta calidad, es fundamental evaluar variedades y fechas de siembra antes de su establecimiento. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el potencial productivo de tres variedades de remolacha azucarera (Coronado, Syngenta y SesVanderHaven) en dos fechas de siembra en el Campo Experimental de la Universidad de Sonora, bajo un diseño en parcelas divididas. La variedad y fecha de siembra tuvieron un efecto significativo en el diámetro de la raíz, SST y producción de follaje. La variedad Coronado sembrada en el mes de Noviembre presentó la mayor producción de raíz (109.2 t·ha-1) y mayor contenido de SST (19.3° Brix), mientras que la mayor producción de follaje (25.4 t·ha-1) en peso seco se obtuvo en el cultivar Coronado sembrado en Octubre. Los rendimientos de raíz y SST obtenidos bajo las condiciones agroecológicas del presente estudio, son similares a los mayores valores reportados en la literatura, por lo que se concluye que bajo las condiciones climáticas del presente estudio, es factible el cultivo de las tres variedades evaluadas en las dos fechas de siembras propuestas con rendimientos comparables a las explotaciones comerciales.
