Does the Development of Vaccines Advance Solutions for Tuberculosis?
Authors: AlMatar Manaf , Makky Essam A. , AlMandeal Husam , Eker Emel , Kayar Begüm , Var Işıl , Köksal Fatih 
Published: November 2018

Background:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is considered as one of the most efficacious human pathogens. The global mortality rate of TB stands at approximately 2 million, while about 8 to 10 million active new cases are documented yearly. It is, therefore, a priority to develop vaccines that will prevent active TB. The vaccines currently used for the management of TB can only proffer a certain level of protection against meningitis, TB, and other forms of disseminated TB in children; however, their effectiveness against pulmonary TB varies and cannot provide life-long protective immunity. Based on these reasons, more efforts are channeled towards the development of new TB vaccines. During the development of TB vaccines, a major challenge has always been the lack of diversity in both the antigens contained in TB vaccines and the immune responses of the TB sufferers. Current efforts are channeled on widening both the range of antigens selection and the range of immune response elicited by the vaccines. The past two decades witnessed a significant progress in the development of TB vaccines; some of the discovered TB vaccines have recently even completed the third phase (phase III) of a clinical trial.Objective:The objectives of this article are to discuss the recent progress in the development of new vaccines against TB; to provide an insight on the mechanism of vaccine-mediated specific immune response stimulation, and to debate on the interaction between vaccines and global interventions to end TB.

Hermeneutika Historis Humanistik Mohamed Talbi
Authors: Karim Maulana Ikhsanun 
Published: November 2018

This paper attempts to examine the thoughts of Mohamed Talbi on hermeneutics based on human history. The concept of humanistic historical hermeneutics is a solution breakthrough to understand a law that is considered to be contrary to the goal rather than the law itself, which is justice. Mohamed Talbi as one of the Muslim scientists in the field of history has provided this understanding of Islam. The thinker is not only in line with the times, but also can not be separated from the basic values taught in Islam itself such as justice, equality, and benefit. Its proven knowledge and clear methodology make us have nothing to lose if we learn the fruits of their thinkers' work.

Internet under threat?: The politics of online censorship in the Pacific Islands
Authors: Kant Romitesh , Titifanue Jason , Tarai Jope , Finau Glenn 
Published: November 2018

In the Pacific, there have been startling news releases of governments making attempts at censoring the internet, a move seen to point towards silencing dissenting views on popular online forums. The conflicting trends between the new political forum ushered in by the new media on the one hand, and the restrictive mode of state censorship on the other hand, pose serious challenges to the broader framework of rights and freedom of expressions. The aim of this article is to examine the regulatory approaches being developed and/or proposed in response to the emergence of new media in Pacific Island Countries (PICs). This article reviews two ways in which Pacific island governments are attempting to regulate the internet: firstly through the development of legislation to prosecute cybercriminals, and secondly through the banning of certain internet sites, most notably Facebook. Despite the disparities in internet penetration levels, the article reveals that nearly all countries in the Pacific are increasingly regulating or are moving towards regulating the internet. The justifications for internet regulation and censorship are largely predicated around the rhetoric of protecting its citizens from the negative effects of the internet. However, these regulations seem to be a response to Pacific Island governments’ fears of growing criticism and dissent on social media platforms.

Published: November 2018

O conto O Suicidante do Moraleda traduzido da língua espanhola, na variante chilena, para a língua portuguesa, do escritor Aldo Astete Cuadra (1978) cujo título original é El suicidante del Moraleda, foi publicado pela Austrobórea em 2017 na coletânea Chile de Terror. O autor é professor e mestre em Literatura Hispano-americana. A sua concepção do terror tem origem no resgate das lendas narradas pelos moradores da região do sul do Chile. A partir desses temas autóctones desenvolveu a sua narrativa povoada de mitos, tradições próprias do Chile, e recontados de forma que sugira o medo, o irreal e a angústia. Ao escrever habitualmente textos cuja tônica é o horror, Aldo desenvolveu uma variação do gênero ao qual denominou Terror Lárico. Ele também é o editor e diagramador das editoras Austrobórea Editores e Sur Umbral Ediciones. A edição em que este conto está inserido foi totalmente dedicada ao terror, e é distribuída principalmente nos países de fala hispana. Ela foi organizada por Paulo Lehmann (1976-), escritor e jornalista chileno, e conta com um posfácio assinado pelo poeta Thomas Harris (1956-).

Tulisan ini merupakan kajian pemikiran tentang implementasi konsep Penguatan Islam Moderat melalui Metode Pembelajaran Demokrasi di MI. Mudahnya mengakses informasi dan berkomunikasi jarak jauh sebagai dampak globalisasi dalam bidang teknologi, dapat dimanfaatkan untuk memeperoleh informasi yang dibutuhkan termasuk pengetahuan agama yang bisa dipelajari dengan bebas tanpa bimbingan seorang guru. Kondisi ini dengan sangat mudahnya akan menggiring pada pemahaman konsep agama yang salah, seperti seruan jihad, bom bunuh diri, mati sahid dan masuk surga. Dampaknya, muncullah orang-orang yang bersikap intoleran, yang selalu mencoba mempengaruhi orang lain untuk masuk bergabung ke dalam kelompoknya. Islam moderat (tawasuth) berintikan prinsip hidup yang menjunjung tinggi berlaku adil dalam kehidupan bersosial. Konsep ini dapat diinternalisasikan di kurikulum sekolah sebagai penguatan mulai jenjang MI melalui penerapan demokrasi yang digunakan sebagai sebuah metode pembelajaran. Demokrasi memberikan kesempatan seluas-luasnya kepada peserta didik untuk mengekspresikan gagasan dan pikirannya secara kreatif dan kritis sesuai dengan gaya belajar yang dimiliki.

Authors: İSKENDER Hüseyin , BAYRAM Metin 
Published: November 2018

Accounting is a profession
which requires those want to perform it in accordance with the principles and
standards required by it to acquire knowledge and skills in many areas of
specialty in academic terms and to renew their professional knowledge and
skills in parallel with the changes and developments occurring after they start
working as a member of this profession, thereby improving their professional
competencies continuously. This quick and continuous change in accounting
makes it obligatory to be a member of this profession who is capable of
thinking on a global scale and fulfilling its requirements. The members of
accounting profession in Turkey perform their jobs as an independent or
dependent Public Accountant (PA) and Public Accountant and Financial Consultant
(PAFC) with their registration at a chamber of certified public accountants.
Given the fact that the members of this profession performing their
professional activities as “independent” ones engage in a lot of (as many as
the number of books they keep) practices related to many areas of subspecialty
of the profession, it is essential for them to improve their knowledge and
skills more compared to “dependent” members of this profession engaged in a
single limited area of specialty of this profession.The purpose
of this study is to investigate the effects of working conditions of
“independent” members of accounting profession who perform their job in their
own accounting offices and of those of “dependent” ones who perform their job
in a workplace possessed by an employer on the improvement of their
professional competencies. To this end, an empirical study was conducted on the
members of this profession, and an insight was provided into the effects of
working conditions on factors such as professional knowledge, professional skills,
and professional ethics, which all influence the improvement of the
professional competencies of the members of this profession.

It is commonly known that people are exposed to radon and its progenies since they spend about 35% of daytime at workplaces. This exposure has been reported to be more than 50% of the natural radiation. Therefore, determination of indoor radon concentration has been widely conducted by the scientists. This work presents indoor radon measurements and the associated annual dose equivalentsobtained in 28 public buildings of the Afyonkarahisar province. The survey was conducted using passive nuclear track detectors and repeated quarterly during a year.The investigation focused on the seasonal and regional effects in indoor radon concentration anomalies. The measured values ranged from 13 Bq.m-3to 1932 Bq.m-3, whereas the calculated average values were in the range of 21,75 Bq.m-3and 1032,50Bq.m-3. Moreover, the mean indoor radon concentration and the corresponding annual dose equivalent valueswere obtained as 158,83±13,16Bq.m-3and 1,25±0,10mSv.y-1, respectively.

Characterization of Tween® Surfactants by MALDI TOF-MS and High Performance Liquid Chromatography in a Ternary Mobile Phase
Authors: Abrar Shazia , Trathnigg Bernd , Javed Sadia , Kiran Shumaila , Gulzar Tahsin 
Published: November 2018

AbstractDifferent hydrophobic and hydrophilic functionalities are produced in the reaction mixture of Tween® surfactants which affect the physiochemical properties of the final product. Only hydrophilic fractions and monoesters were separated in the binary mobile phase. MALDI TOF-MS of Tween® 40 revealed the identification of peaks separated in binary mobile phase (methanol-water). Liquid adsorption chromatography was performed on a gradient system on a SynergiTM fusion reverse phase column. Mobile phase composition used for this separation was a ternary phase gradient starting from 41 % methanol, 47 % acetone and going to 96 % acetone for the analysis time of 60 minutes. In the ternary mobile phase, gradient all the species such as polyethylene glycol, sorbitan and isosorbide ethoxylates, mono-, di- and triesters of sorbitan and isosorbide ethoxylates were well resolved in an of 60 minutes analysis time. The above separation mechanism can be employed for the analysis of polymeric multifunctional surfactant compositions.
Effect of Alkyl Tail Length of Alpha Olefin Sulfonates on Foam Properties
Authors: Bai Long , Wang Yong , Liu Xiaochen , Zhou Yawen , Niu Jinping 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThe effect of alkyl tail length on the foam properties of alpha olefin sulfonates (AOS) in aqueous solutions at various concentrations was investigated by measurements of the foamability, foam stability and bubble size and numbers, obtained from conductivity and image analyses techniques based on FoamScan foam analyzer. It was found that foamability and foam stability of Cn AOS (n = 14–16, 16–18, 20–24) first increase and then decrease with increase in the carbon chain length, showing an optimum for a length of n = 16–18. The foamability and foam stability of AOS increase with increasing of surfactant concentration. This is due to the fact that the adsorbed quantity of surfactant molecules increases at the air/water interface with the increase of concentration. In addition, it was found that the bubble size produced by C16–18 AOS is smaller than that of C14–16 AOS.
Computer Flow Simulation of Moffatt Eddies in Single Screw Extrusion
Authors: Polychronopoulos N. D. , Vlachopoulos J. 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
A 3D flow analysis package is used to simulate the flow phenomena in a short section of the metering zone of a single screw extruder. The assumption of stationary screw and rotating barrel is used. For sharp flight root corners, in addition to the primary flow field a secondary flow was determined in front of the root of the pushing flight and behind the root of the trailing flight, akin to what is known in the fluid mechanics literature as Moffatt eddies. Fluid particles caught in Moffatt eddy regions require travel times which are at least two orders of magnitude larger than the average residence time. This implies high probability of degradation and explains the deposits of thin carbonaceous films and gels, which have been discussed in several publications in the technical literature. The computer simulations show the existence of Moffatt eddies in the presence or absence of pressure gradients. When the screw roots have relatively wide angles no Moffatt eddies are predicted, in agreement with recommendations for good screw design practices.
