Election, Politician and Corruption: A Critical Discourse Study of two Indonesian Newsprints Covering the Ruling Party Leader Corruption
Authors: Saputri Nostal Nuans , Suratnoaji Catur 
Published: February 2019

The aim of the study is to construe the discursive strategies and to probe for ideological goals behind the two national newspapers text constructions about the former ruling Democrat Party leader, Anas Urbaningrum, corruption case before the 2014 general election The analysis of this study adopts a critical perspective on discourse analysis (CDA) specifically the Teun Van Dijks socio-cognitive approach. The texts are divided and analyzed into three levels, namely: text, socio-cognitive of the text producers and social context surround the discourse production. The study concludes three important points. First, both newspapers were intensively presented news about corrupt politicians before the 2014 general elections. One of which was the ruling Democrat party leader, Anas Urbaningrum (AU) corruption case. Second, Seputar Indonesia daily (hereafter SINDO) texts are defending AU by presenting very systematic and consistent discourse patterns even after the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) named AU a suspect in corruption and money laundering cases. The patterns are disagreements of the Anas political rivals accusation, exaggerating internal conflict between Anas and his political rivals, attacking others contra opinion and defending AU position through its news texts; while, on the contrary, Jawa Pos daily (JP) emphasizing law enforcement for AU corruption case. It presents accusation and attacking comments from some party senior cadres to AU, pools results about the Democrat Party popularity and electability that dropped significantly because of corruption issue, and it also provides statements mostly from the graft commission about AU case law enforcement.

Previous research suggests that contributing factors such as previous academic result, coping and time management can predict student success at the universities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between previous academic grades, coping and time management practices on academic achievement among undergraduate students from four of Malaysia public institutions for higher education. 551 university students completed a Time Management Questionnaire (TMQ), COPE Inventory and provided their self-reported high school grades and current Grade Point Average (GPA). Analysis of data from descriptive and inferential statistics was done. Results showed that previous academic grades and the practice of time management (short range planning and attitude toward time) have no direct effect on academic achievement. However, the use of coping strategies (problem focused and denial focused) and the practice of time management (long range planning) showed that there was a significant effect on Grade Point Average (GPA).
Sunday TV Mass as a Ritual Communication among the youth
Authors: Reynon Glenn Irwin Cruz 
Published: February 2019

Sunday TV Mass (STVM) is one of the Catholic Churchs initiatives for evangelization via media. Primarily produced to spread the Good News, it is specifically for the sick and physically incapable since they cannot go to churches to attend Mass and fulfill their Sunday obligation. However, since the broadcast Mass is communicated through a mass medium and is exposed to a wider audience than necessarily targeted, some people, the adolescents (youth) in particular, make STVM an excuse to forego Mass attendance in their respective churches. This experimental study will focus on STVM on its role as evangelizer and catalyst to ritual formation. James Careys theory of Ritual Communication describes this practice as an enabler to the creation of a community of believers among the youth and George Gerbners Cultivation Theory on how television creates a worldview that unravels ritualistic experience by watching STVM. The respondents of the study are 40 high school students of Angelicum College. Selected purposively, the students were instructed and monitored to watch STVM for four Sundays. These students are top achievers in their Religion subjects and are exposed to different religious activities in their school.

Authors: Yardimcioglu Mahmut , Ada Sebnem 
Published: February 2019

Accounting is a very important profession in todays contemporary business environment. On the other hand, it is also becoming more difficult to find qualified graduates specialized in accounting. Therefore, in order to foster students to be interested in accounting, it is of utmost importance to identify the factors that determine students interest in this field. This study identifies and investigates the factors (i.e., career outcome expectation, career challenge, social influence, and academic performance in accounting) that are likely to influence students career interests in the field of accounting. A structured survey was administered to university students located in a province in Turkey. The findings of this research study reveal that students that aim to pursue a challenging career; that are influenced by other people related to their career decisions; and that have greater academic performance in accounting will be interested in pursuing a career in the field of accounting.
NURSING APPROACHES OF SOCIAL TYPE HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE TREATMENT OF POSTOPERATIVE DELIRIUM
Authors: Tsagalas Ilias , Tagarakis Georgios , Tsilimingas Nikolaos , Tsolaki Magdalini 
Published: February 2019

Acute postoperative organic psychosyndrome (delirium) is a common complication after cardiac surgery. It is characterized by disorientation of the patient in terms of space and time, most often in the Intensive Care Unit, often accompanied by aggressive or self-destructive behaviour.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of specific nursing interventions in the treatment of delirium.
Materials and methods: We included in the study 47 patients who developed delirium out of a total 184 patients undergoing major cardiac surgery (CABG, AVR, MVR, combined interventions, aneurysm and dissection thoracic aorta ) in the same period, lasting 18 months. Patients were tested for the syndrome with valid instrument scales, more specifically CAM -ICU (Confusement Assessment Method for Intensive Care Unit) and Nu DeSc (Nursing Delirium Screening Scale). They were then divided into four groups, a control group without any additional intervention, a group in which patients were given option for listening to music for 20 minutes twice a day, one group that followed an additional physiotherapy program and, finally, a group with two extra visits by friends or relatives, lasting twenty minutes daily.
Results: The study included 152 (83%) men and 32 (17%) women. The average age of both sexes without delirium was 61.55± 7.9 years and with delirium 68.97±8.1. Patients supportive interventions implemented have improved behavior in delirium, based on the results of measurement scales. More specifically, patients within the music group had an average score of 4.8±0.7 prior to the intervention and an average score of 3.2±0.4 (p<0.01) after the intervention. The physical therapy group had an average pre-intervention score of 4.7±0.6 and a score of 3.6±0.4 after the intervention (p<0.05). Finally, the group with the additional visits had a pre-score of 5.0±0.7 and a score after the intervention of 4.0±0.5 (p<0.05). Duration of delirium has been much shorter in the intervention groups compared to the control group not receiving intervention (32±3, 36±4 and 38±4 vs 48±9 hours respectively).
Conclusion: The supportive, non-pharmaceutical interventions can improve the image of patients with delirium after cardiac surgery.
Anthropometry and Size Groups in the Clothing Industry

Published: February 2019

Abstract
It appears that from generation to generation the anthropometric dimensions of the human population are changing. The aim of this paper was to examine the extent of these changes and the need for generating updated measurements for the clothing industry. The clothing industry uses mannequins and avatars to represent the modal group of the population. The industry tends to use three different categories for the human body shape (endomorphic, mesomorphic, and ectomorphic). The clothing industry should focus on specific measurements of the body rather than general categories and create more body shapes to satisfy customer needs. The paper also aimed at showing the problems faced by clothing designers. The traditional way of measuring takes into account only selected dimensions of the human body; this does not reflect the “true” overall body shape. The dimension tables used by the apparel industry are based on the fourth anthropometric photograph taken between 1987 and 1989. These tables are still in the use currently; however, after 30 years they are outdated and should be revised for the young contemporary generation. This study can be used for the development of new dimension tables as well as defining methods aimed at improving the quality of measurements for clothing engineering purposes. This is an important issue, because the National Institute of Anthropometry does not deal with such problems (the measurements are conducted mainly for understanding the human body shape rather than any other application), which means that anthropometric measurements are not ideally suited to applications of clothes fitting.
Responses of phytochelatin and proline-related genes expression associated with heavy metal stress in Solanum lycopersicum
Authors: Kısa Dursun 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The expression of stress related-genes against adverse environmental conditions has essential importance for plants. This study, using RT-qPCR, determined the expression of P5CS and PCS genes to investigate their roles in the leaves of tomato plants grown under heavy metal conditions. The expression of the PCS1 gene is significantly induced under such conditions. Transcript expression of P5CS1, a gene responsible for proline synthesis, changed depending on heavy metal doses; treatments of Cu (20 and 50 ppm), Cd and Pb (10 and 20 ppm) remarkably increased P5CS1 expression. However, the P5CS1 gene expression at 10 ppm dose of Cu and 50 ppm doses of Pb and Cd was not significantly different from that in control plants. The metal-chelating potency of the extract of tomato leaves exposed to Pb and Cd was higher than that of untreated plants. The proline content as assessed in the leaves of stressed plants was significantly increased by applications of 10 and 20 ppm of Cd and Pb, and high doses of Cu. In addition, the results showed that the proline content had a positive correlation with the P5CS1 gene expression in tomato leaves under application of these tree heavy metals and that there was a positive relation between the PCS1 gene expression and metal-chelating ability of Cd-stressed plants.
Climatic drivers of dry grassland phylogenetic diversity in the Republic of Macedonia

Published: February 2019

Abstract
Climatic gradients can be used to predict the extent to which climate drives biodiversity and to which biodiversity may be affected by global climate changes. Climate and evolutionary history are linked by the ecological adaptations of species and the history of Earth’s climate. If so, phylogenetic diversity may be a good metric to estimate biodiversity. We aimed to test whether the phylogenetic diversity of Macedonian dry grasslands was related to climatic variables. We sampled 575 plots, identifying the species and building a phylogenetic tree for them. We calculated two metrics of phylogenetic diversity and regressed them against climatic variables. We also tested whether there were nodes in the tree responsible for the main observed spatial patterns of phylogenetic diversity. We found a strong signature of evolutionary history in species sorting across a gradient driven by climate in Macedonian dry grasslands. First, the amount of evolutionary history decreased towards drier and more seasonal climates, suggesting a phylogenetic niche conservatism. Second, there was an air temperature filter and a temperature seasonality filter, acting in opposite directions and leading to phylogenetic clustering. Third, there were few nodes in the phylogenetic tree with high degrees of allopatry, associated with clades that differed not only in their geographic distribution, but also in their climatic preferences. Macedonian dry grassland communities developed over centuries of traditional land use but are threatened nowadays by human activities. The use of phylogenetic approaches may lead to more effective conservation policies and help us preserve this highly diverse vegetation.

Published: February 2019

AbstractIn this study we usedMedicago truncatula, to identify and analyze the expression of small GTP-binding proteins (Arf1, Arl1, Sar1, Rabs, Rop/Rac) and their interacting partners in the infection process in the roots and nodules. A real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis was carried out and our results showed thatArf1(AtArfB1c-like),MtSar1,AtRabA1e-like,AtRabC1-like,MsRab11-like andAtRop7-like genes were highly expressed in the nodules of rhizobium inoculated plants compared to the non-inoculated ones. On the contrary,AtRabA3like,AtRab5candMsRac1-like genes were highly expressed in non-infected nitrogen supplied roots ofM. truncatula. Other Rab genes (AtRabA4a,AtRabA4candAtRabG3a-like genes) were nearly equally expressed in both treatments. Interestingly,RbohB(a respiratory burst NADPH oxidase homologue) was more highly expressed in rhizobium infected than in non-infected roots and nodules. Our data show a differential expression pattern of small GTP-binding proteins in roots and nodules of the plants. This study demonstrates an important role of small GTP-binding proteins in symbiosome biogenesis and root nodule development in legumes.
The Bits in the Age of Globalization
Authors: Corsica Caterina 
Published: February 2019

Summary
India’s BIT program is the largest among the developing countries and its integration into the global economy has also increased its exposure to BIT claims. Sev­eral foreign corporations presented ITA notices against various Indian regulatory mea­sures prompting India to suspend all trading of BITs in progress that led to a change in its position in the International investment law regime with repercussions in the International business community eager to participate in its business. These recent developments have then determined the need to review India’s BIT program in a global vision. The paper ‘International Investment Agreements Between India and Others Countries’ (2011), showed the importance of ensuring a balance between investor rights and national policy which India has not been able to make guarantor pushing in differ­ent circumstances to revise their existing BITs and defining new perspectives for future negotiations. The paper reflects on experiences of BITs in a global vision..

Published: February 2019

Abstract
The article analyses the decision of the EU Court of Justice in Coman in which the Court derived residence rights for spouses in the same-sex marriages. The article outlines the basic grounds of the judgement and critically appraises them in the context of EU primary as well as secondary law and especially Directive 2004/38. The article raises concerns about the division of competences between the EU and its Mem­ber States, extended interpretation of the term “spouse” in the context of EU law, human rights considerations as well as potential effects of the decision on national family law.
Potential Effect of the Law of Belligerent Occupation on the Applicability of Investment Treaties in Occupied Territories
Authors: Stejskal Petr 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This article focuses on the applicability of bilateral investment treaties on the conduct of the occupying power towards foreign investments situated in the occupied territory. It examines the content of the obligation to respect the laws in force in the occupied territory as prescribed by Art. 43 of the Convention (IV) respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land. Some authors proposed an idea that this obligation is a gateway provision for the applicability of international treaties which are in force in the occupied territory on the conduct of the occupier. They refer to the case-law dealing with the applicability of human rights treaties in occupied territories. However, after the interpretation of this provision and inquiry into the case-law, this paper reaches the con­clusion that the obligation to respect the laws in force does not have this effect. Instead, it deals with the legislative powers of the occupying power.
Some Question Marks of Private Law on the State-Owned Companies in Hungary
Authors: Papp Tekla 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The state can be an actor in Hungarian private law in several ways: on the one hand, by its organs (e.g. the Office of the National Assembly, ministries), on the other hand, by the organs of public law the state creates (e.g. budgetary organs), thirdly, through business associations operating with the participation of the state, fourthly, exceptionally, the state itself can also act as a subject of private law. In this study we call the attention to that the terminology used in case of business associations operating with state/local government participation is not sustainable and we focus on some issues where the private and public law discrepancy can be found in Hungary.

Published: February 2019

Abstract
In our study, we aimed to evaluate changes in the neutrophil and lymphocyte series and investigate whether the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is indicative of inflammations in patients with hyperthyroidism. A total of 161 patients were enrolled, 121 of which had hyperthyroidism (71 Graves’ Disease (GD) and 50 non-Graves hyperthyroidism (NGH) patients) and 40 of which were control group members. Retrospectively, patients’ neutrophil and lymphocyte counts were taken, and the NLR was calculated. While the number of neutrophils was significantly lower in the GD group (p = 0.003), there was no significant difference between the NGH and the control group. In the GD group, NLR values were significantly lower than the other two groups (median 1.39 for GD, median 1.84 for NGH and median 1.83 for the control group, p < 0.001). Only three patients in the GD group had neutropenia. There was also a significant negative correlation between free T3 and neutrophil count and NLR in hyperthyroid patients (r = -0.28, p = 0.001 and r = -0.34, p < 0.001, respectively). In our study, we found that NLR did not in crease in hyperthyroid patients and that this ratio decreased due to the decrease in neutrophil levels in GD. We thus concluded that NLR is not a suitable indicator of hyperthyroidism.

Depresioaren teoria neuroinflamatorioa
Authors: Goitia Lierni , Horrillo Igor 
Published: February 2019

Depresio nagusia asaldura neuropsikiatriko ohikoenen artean dago. Gaixotasun mental honen etiologia eta oinarri fisiopatologikoak azaltzeko hainbat teoria proposatu dira, hala nola teoría monoaminergikoa edo neurotrofikoa. Hala ere, oinarri neurobiologikoak oraindik ez dira ezagutzen, sistema ezberdinen parte-hartzea izanik proposatzen dena. Depresioan hanturaren eta funtzio neuralaren arteko elkarrekintza dagoela frogatzen duten entsegu prekliniko eta klinikoetako emaitzak gero eta pisu handiagoa hartzen ari dira, teoría neuroinflamatorioa indartuz. Horrek proposatzen du depresioan sistema ezberdinetan asaldurak gertatuko liratekeela: ardatz hipotalamiko-hipofisiario-adrenalaren (HPA) hiperaktibazioa (igotako glukokortikoide-mailak eraginez) bai eta sistema immunearen hiperaktibazioa ere, periferiako eta nerbio-sistema zentraleko (NSZ) hanturaren markatzaileen, hau da, zitokina proinflamatorioen mailak handituz. Gainera, depresiodun pazienteetan aurkitu diren periferiako gehiegizko zitokinak garunera igarotzeko gai direla eta depresioan ezagunak diren bide fisiopatologiko gehienei eragiten dietela deskribatu da. Horien artean neurotransmisoreen metabolismoa, funtzio neuroendokrinoa eta plastikotasun edo moldatze neurala daude. Hain zuzen ere, garuneko hanturaren aktibazioak depresioan gertatzen diren asaldura fisiopatologikoen antzeko moldaketak eragiten ditu, faktore neurotrofikoen gutxipena, eszitotoxikotasuna eta horren ondorio den estres oxidatiboa, adibidez. Areagotutako zitokinen kalte kronikoak iraupen luzeko aldaketak dakartza garunaren anatomian eta funtzionamenduan, eta kalteok umorean, kognizioan edo portaeran eragin zuzena izango dute. Hortaz, garunaren endekapen hau sintoma depresiboekin lotzea funtsezkoa da tratamendua aukeratzeko orduan. Izan ere, gaixotasun inflamatorioak dituzten pazienteetan lortutako emaitzen arabera, zitokina proinflamatorioak inhibitzeak gaixoek pairatzen dituzten sintoma depresiboak hobetzen eta pazientearen ohiko tratamendu antidepresiboaren erantzuna hobetzen lagundu dezake. Beraz, garunean gertatzen den hantura eta sistema immunea itu dituzten tratamenduak garatzea aukera bat izan daiteke hantura duten depresiodun pazienteen sintomatologia hobetzeko.
