Authors: Abdulridha Jaafar J. , Kanissery Ramdas G. , McAvoy Camille E. , Ampatzidis Yiannis G. 
Published: October 2019

Abstract. In this study, a weed steamer was developed, and several steam treatments were utilized to maintain and control the growth of weeds in a citrus grove. Two factors affecting the steam treatment were studied: (i) tractor speed (low, 1.2 km/h; and high, 1.7 km/h); and (ii) steam flow rate (low, 15 L/h; and high 53 L/h). The weed control treatments included various combinations of steam flows and tractor driving speeds, a post-emergent herbicide (paraquat) treatment, and an untreated check for comparison purposes. Randomized experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of each application. It was found that steam applications at high flow rate provided 93%-97% burndown damage of the weed foliage within 3 days after application. Weed re-growth was observed in steam applications, especially with low flow-rate applications. The combination of low tractor speed and high steam flow-rate was the most effective of the steam treatments tested (84% total weed burndown at 12 days after application). This treatment was found effective in controlling weeds like goatweed and sedges. Florida pusley was the least affected by steam due to its prostrate growth nature that prevents an adequate coverage of steam on the entire plant. Based on the observations from this study, the steam application has the potential to be a non-chemical and sustainable strategy for weed management in citrus tree rows. Keywords: Citrus production, Herbicide, Steam application, Weed control.

Published: October 2019

En este artículo se presentan los resultados de un proyecto, el cual realizó la evaluación de ruido ambiental en zonas aledañas a tres centros médicos ubicados en la localidad de Barrios Unidos (Bogotá). Esto con el objetivo de determinar el cumplimiento de los límites máximos permisibles para este tipo de sectores catalogados como de tranquilidad y silencio; para así verificar la influencia del desarrollo y crecimiento de la localidad en la potencial afectación a la salud de personas. La metodología desarrollada para los procesos de medición en los diferentes centros médicos está basada en los lineamientos dados en la Resolución n.° 627 del 2006 del Ministerio de Ambiente, Vivienda y Desarrollo Territorial. De esta manera, se realizó por cada centro médico la georreferenciación de la zona de estudio y mediciones preliminares, lo cual permitió establecer la existencia de contaminación por ruido y localizar un punto de mayor impacto en el que se hicieron las mediciones definitivas. De manera simultánea, se efectuó la toma de datos de condiciones meteorológicas, así como una caracterización de tráfico vehicular para construir mapas de ruido mediante el software SoundPlan. Los resultados obtenidos en cada centro médico demuestran, en general, que se sobrepasan los límites normativos de ruido ambiental (Leq A: 55dB), y que este fenómeno se correlaciona principalmente con el alto tránsito de vehículos, concurrencia de personas hablando y las actividades comerciales informales y formales que se han desarrollado de manera desordenada alrededor de la ubicación de los centros hospitalarios, convirtiendo a estos en un entornos comerciales y generando que no haya cumplimiento con relación al plan de ordenamiento establecido en la localidad.

Nowadays, there are still some shortages in the rule of law of the waqf disputes resolution, therefore a lot of waqf disputes have not be solved, and moreover it has no justice value since it does not protect the rights of disputing parties. Why the legal renewal of waqf disputes resolution based on Pancasila is important? The urgency is as the media for the enforcement and the law enactment of the waqf dispute resolution based on Pancasila. This research is field research, and the approach method is juridical empirical. The result of the research is to explain that the legal reform of waqf dispute resolution is important because the waqf disputes always develope based on the socio-cultural development of the society. Besides, it also saves the waqf assets, gives the values of justice and certainty,makes the rule of the law not rigid and closed, can finish the waqf disputes, and makes waqf meaningful in the society. The legal reform of waqf disputes resolution which is based on Pancasila means making the policy that includes determining and deciding the rules of waqf dispute resolution, hence it will be suitable with the direction of national development based on Pancasila.

After the global crisis at 2008; Financial Inclusion became a focus in many international forums including developing countries and Indonesia. Refers to international best practice, the solution is made: the national financial inclusion strategies that conducted among other things such as launch a certain programs such as branchless banking and peer to peer lending are the solutions has made. One of the financial inclusive principles is technological innovation to expand public access using financial technology to reach financial systems. This research aims to study and analyze fintech regulation in Indonesia to empower the financial inclusive. Research method is used a normative juridical and descriptive analytics specification. Data has analyzed in a qualitative juridical. The results showed that Fintech has a role in broaden the access for community to financial systems so that it can be a tool for poverty alleviation and economic equality. Likewise, to strengthening and rearrange Fintech regulation is needed due to overcome the obstacles such as the misuse of personal data, the growth of shadow economy and consumer losses. Therefore, it is required a comprehensive regulation, cooperation between authorities and institutions in order that Fintech can be optimally empower the financial inclusion.
Group Approximation in Cayley Topology and Coarse Geometry, Part II: Fibred Coarse Embeddings
Authors: Mimura Masato , Sako Hiroki 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The objective of this series is to study metric geometric properties of disjoint unions of Cayley graphs of amenable groups by group properties of the Cayley accumulation points in the space of marked groups. In this Part II, we prove that a disjoint union admits a fibred coarse embedding into a Hilbert space (as a disjoint union) if and only if the Cayley boundary of the sequence in the space of marked groups is uniformly a-T-menable. We furthermore extend this result to ones with other target spaces. By combining our main results with constructions of Osajda and Arzhantseva–Osajda, we construct two systems of markings of a certain sequence of finite groups with two opposite extreme behaviors of the resulting two disjoint unions: With respect to one marking, the space has property A. On the other hand, with respect to the other, the space does not admit fibred coarse embeddings into Banach spaces with non-trivial type (for instance, uniformly convex Banach spaces) or Hadamard manifolds; the Cayley limit group is, furthermore, non-exact.
Decision Making and Games with Vector Outcomes
Authors: Park Jaeok 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
In this paper, we study decision making and games with vector outcomes. We provide a general framework where outcomes lie in a real topological vector space and the decision maker’s preferences over outcomes are described by a preference cone, which is defined as a convex cone satisfying a continuity axiom. Further, we define a notion of utility representation and introduce a duality between outcomes and utilities. We provide conditions under which a preference cone is represented by a utility and is the dual of a set of utilities. We formulate a decision-making problem with vector outcomes and study optimal choices. We also consider games with vector outcomes and characterize the set of equilibria. Lastly, we discuss the problem of equilibrium selection based on our characterization.

Abstract
In this paper we investigate the restriction problem. More precisely, we give sufficient conditions for the failure of a set E in ℝ
n
to have the p-restriction property. We also extend the concept of spectral synthesis to Lp
(ℝ

) for sets of p-restriction when p > 1. We use our results to show that there are p-values for which the unit sphere is a set of p-spectral synthesis in ℝ
n
when n ⩾ 3.
The strong maximum principle for Schrödinger operators on fractals
Authors: Ionescu Marius V. , Okoudjou Kasso A. , Rogers Luke G. 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
We prove a strong maximum principle for Schrödinger operators defined on a class of postcritically finite fractal sets and their blowups without boundary. Our primary interest is in weaker regularity conditions than have previously appeared in the literature; in particular we permit both the fractal Laplacian and the potential to be Radon measures on the fractal. As a consequence of our results, we establish a Harnack inequality for solutions of these operators.

Authors: Venkatesh G. , Subramanian R. , John Berchmans L. 
Published: October 2019

AbstractCrystalline cerium-zirconate (CZ) powders were synthesized via solution-assisted combustion synthesis route and calcined at 850°C for 8 h to obtain coarse crystalline powders. SEM (scanning electron microscopy) characterization studies were done to evaluate the morphology of the powders. XRD analysis of the resulting powder confirmed the presence of crystalline α-Ce2Zr2O7along with a Ce2Zr2O8phase having a disordered fluorite cubic lattice. Phase composition, lattice parameters, and the atomic positions were also investigated. Refinement of XRD data was done to quantify the amount of α-Ce2Zr2O7and Ce2Zr2O8phases. Ni-base superalloy Inconel 625 was chosen as the coating substrate, and the powders were coated using an air plasma spraying (APS). A thermally grown oxide (TGO)/Al2O3layer was observed owing to the high temperature of the substrate as well as the diffusion of bond coat material into the substrate. Coated samples were characterized by SEM to study the surface morphology, coating thickness, and interface microstructures. The thickness of the coated sample was found to be 400 μm. Thermal cycling test of the coated sample was carried out at 750°C for 50 h to evaluate the thermal shock resistance of the coating as well as the spalling behavior of the coating. Preliminary oxidation tests were carried out for 50 h at 750°C to evaluate the oxide growth by measuring weight gain of the oxide layers formed. Oxide growth signifies the gradual increment of layers over a period with a parabolic rate constant of about Kp= 1.18 × 10–3mg2cm–4h–1.
Considerations of Resilience in the Homeland Security Literature: Towards Conceptual Convergence?
Authors: Haase Thomas W. , Demiroz Fatih 
Published: October 2019

AbstractScholars and policy makers argue that communities that increase their resilience are better positioned to protect themselves from disruptive events. The popularity of the resilience concept has created challenges for scholars and public policy makers. The most substantial challenge relates to whether there exists sufficient common understanding of resilience to enable the concept to be applied in research and public policy contexts. This article presents the findings of an analysis of resilience discussions in the homeland security literature. The analysis included the 56 articles that reference resilience terminology and are published in the journals:Homeland Security Affairsand theJournal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Our findings indicate that resilience discussions in the homeland security literature seem to be converging towards a hybrid conceptualization of resilience, which suggests that a resilient system would have the capacity to both resist a disturbance and to quickly restore services if a disturbance could not be prevented. Despite this possible movement towards conceptual convergence, additional steps must be taken if resilience is to become a concept that can be used to guide the development and implementation of homeland security policy.
Towards a typology of spatial deictic expressions
Authors: Nintemann Julia , Robbers Maja 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
In response to the typology of spatial interrogatives (Stolz et al. 2017b), the morphologically corresponding spatial deictic declaratives pursuant to the three basic relations place – goal – source are brought into focus for a comparison of both related paradigms. A canonical model (Corbett 2005) is applied to assess paradigms of spatial deictic forms. Logical outcomes considering all possible distributions of (a)syncretic patterns are discussed. To prepare our data for statistical evaluations, both parallels and differences between the two related paradigms are surveyed. Our corpus data is presented to outline what a typology of spatial deictic paradigms should encompass.
Jüdische Selbstbehauptung in Berlin
Authors: Georgiev Anna 
Published: October 2019

Vorspann
Während der NS-Zeit wurden rund 500 Thorarollen auf dem Jüdischen Friedhof in Berlin Weißensee vor der Zerstörung bewahrt. Bisher galt die Erforschung der konkreten Umstände als Desideratum. Anna Georgiev kann die Geschichte der in Weißensee versteckten Thorarollen von ihrer Einlagerung bis hin zu ihrer Verteilung nach dem Krieg durch Hannah Arendt im Rahmen ihrer Tätigkeit für die Jewish Cultural Reconstruction nun weitergehend rekonstruieren, dabei greift sie auch auf bisher unveröffentlichtes Bildmaterial zurück. Das Verstecken der Thorarollen lässt sich als Form von Widerstand und jüdischer Selbstbehauptung begreifen. Trotz drohender Deportation setzten sich die Beteiligten für den Erhalt der Rollen und somit für die Bewahrung jüdischer Traditionen ein.
„Anständige“ Täter – „asoziale“ Opfer
Authors: Wiedemann Felix 
Published: October 2019

Vorspann
Die Ermordung tausender „asozialer“ Justizgefangener zwischen 1942 und 1944 gehört zu den weniger bekannten NS-Verbrechen. Dabei war das Geschehen bereits in der Nachkriegszeit Gegenstand umfangreicher Ermittlungen, die 1951 im Wiesbadener Juristenprozess gegen führende Ministerialbeamte des ehemaligen Reichsjustizministeriums mündeten. Als unmittelbares Nachfolgeverfahren des Nürnberger Juristenprozesses markiert der mit Freisprüchen endende Wiesbadener Prozess den Übergang von der Besatzungsjustiz zur Justiz der frühen Bundesrepublik. Darüber hinaus reflektiert das Verfahren die spezifischen justiz- und vergangenheitspolitischen Entscheidungen, gesellschaftlichen Narrative und Moralvorstellungen der frühen 1950er Jahre.

Kontrapunktisches Lesen – intertextuelle Anregungen für eine interkulturelle Bibeldidaktik
Authors: Jahnel Claudia , Konz Britta 
Published: October 2019

Zusammenfassung
Der Artikel geht von der Beobachtung aus, dass die Curricula und Konzepte des Religionsunterrichtes der interkulturellen christlichen Vielfalt von Schülerinnen und Schülern und dem interkulturellen Lernen bislang kaum Rechnung tragen. Vor diesem Hintergrund entwickelt er das Konzept einer interkulturell-intertextuellen Bibeldidaktik. Sie verbindet die Wahrnehmung der Vielfalt biblischer Auslegungstraditionen innerhalb der Weltchristenheit mit der Einsicht in die innerbiblische kulturelle Vielfalt. Entsprechend werden Interkulturelle Theologie und Arbeiten zur Intertextualität als Bezugswissenschaften in den Blick genommen und hinsichtlich ihres inhaltlichen wie methodischen Potentials für eine interkulturelle Bibeldidaktik skizziert. Drei Beispiele illustrieren Möglichkeiten der praktischen Umsetzung der interkulturellen Bibeldidaktik.
Effects of a Multimodal Exercise Program Plus Neural Gliding on Postural Control, Pain, and Flexibility of Institutionalized Older Adults: A Randomized, Parallel, and Double-Blind Study
Authors: Mateus Ana , Rebelo Jessica , Silva Anabela G. 
Published: October 2019

Background and Purpose:
The effect of adding neural mobilization to a multimodal program of exercises has not been investigated, despite its potential positive effects. The aim of this study was to compare the acute effects of a multimodal exercise program and neural gliding against a multimodal exercise program only, on pain intensity, gait speed, Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, lower limb flexibility, and static balance of institutionalized older adults.

Methods:
Older adults who were institutionalized (n = 26) were randomized to receive a multimodal exercise program plus neural gliding or a multimodal exercise program only. Both interventions were delivered twice a week for 8 weeks. Participants were assessed for pain, gait velocity, balance, flexibility, and TUG at baseline and postintervention.

Results:
A significant main effect of time for pain intensity (F
1,24 = 8.95, P = .006), balance (F
1,24 = 10.29, P = .004), and gait velocity (F
1,24 = 5.51, P = .028) was observed, indicating a positive impact of both interventions. No other significant effects were found (TUG and flexibility; P > .05).

Discussion:
A 45-minute multimodal exercise program, twice a week for 8 weeks, has a positive impact on pain intensity, balance, and gait velocity, but neural gliding has no additional benefit. It is unclear whether dose and type of neural mobilization may have had an impact on results. Considering the structural and physiological changes that tend to occur with age, future studies could explore the effects of neural tensioning or of higher doses of neural mobilization.

Conclusions:
This study suggests that adding neural gliding to a multimodal exercise program has no additional benefit.

ABSTRACTThe study was undertaken to investigate grammatical cohesion devices use in college students’ academic writing essay as a part of discourse analysis. The study also explored to find out the kinds of grammatical cohesion devices specifications in college students’ academic writing essay. The researchers conducted this study with attention to know the college students’ writing quality at tertiary education. Further, the researchers employed Halliday & Hasan (1976) conceptual framework related to grammatical cohesion devices. The study was conducted to 42 college students enrolling on an online writing course. The researchers applied descriptive and analytical study by giving an assignment to assess grammatical cohesion devices use in college students’ academic writing essay. Data were collected from college students’ academic writing essay. The findings revealed that 1048 grammatical cohesion devices were used in the essays. Other findings indicated that the highest use of grammatical cohesion devices were reference with 53.53% and conjunction. The data also pointed out that the college students were more familiar with reference and conjunction use rather than substitution and ellipsis. The result also indicated that the lack of grammatical cohesion devices use in terms of comprehension, knowledge and ability in writing leads the college students use inappropriate grammatical cohesion devices.ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan menginvestigasi penggunaan perangkat grammatical cohesive device/kohesi tata bahasa pada penulisan akademik esai mahasiswa.

Identifying Patients With Kawasaki Disease Safe for Early Discharge: Development of a Risk Prediction Model at a US Children’s Hospital
Authors: Hester Gabrielle Z. , Watson David , Nickel Amanda J. , Ryan Nicholas , Jepson Bryan , Gray James , Bergmann Kelly R. 
Published: October 2019

OBJECTIVES:
To develop a model to predict risk of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) nonresponse in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) to assist in early discharge decision-making.

METHODS:
Retrospective cohort study of 430 patients 0 to 18 years old discharged from a US children’s hospital January 1, 2010, through July 31, 2017 with a diagnosis of KD. IVIg nonresponse was defined as at least 1 of the following: temperature ≥38.0°C between 36 hours and 7 days after initial IVIg dose, receipt of a second IVIg dose after a temperature ≥38.0°C at least 20 hours after initial IVIg dose, or readmission within 7 days with administration of a second IVIg dose. Backward stepwise logistic regression was used to select a predictive model.

RESULTS:
IVIg nonresponse occurred in 19% (81 of 430) of patients. We identified a multivariate model (which included white blood cell count, hemoglobin level, platelet count, aspartate aminotransferase level, sodium level, albumin level, temperature within 6 hours of first IVIg dose, and incomplete KD) with good predictive ability (optimism-adjusted concordance index: 0.700) for IVIg nonresponse. Stratifying into 2 groups by a predictive probability cutoff of 0.10, we identified 26% of patients at low risk for IVIg nonresponse, with a sensitivity and specificity of 90% and 30%, respectively, and a negative predictive value of 93%.

CONCLUSIONS:
We developed a model with good predictive value for identifying risk of IVIg nonresponse in patients with KD at a US children’s hospital. Patients at lower risk may be considered for early discharge by using shared decision-making. Our model may be used to inform implementation of electronic health record tools and future risk prediction research.
