Published: April 2019

Abstract. A wireless measurement system for assessing behavior patterns in dairy cows has been designed and constructed. The system mainly consisted of 12 leg-tags, 6 location sensors, and a laptop computer. Twelve lactating Holstein dairy cows were selected in the trial. The leg-tags used a 433 MHz radio channel for transmitting the acceleration data and location data at 1 Hz. The data were logged to a laptop computer in real time. An ensemble classification algorithm was proposed in our study. The algorithm can be divided into two stages: at the first stage, the Semi-Supervised Fuzzy C-Means (SS-FCM) algorithm was used to interpret the acceleration data and classify all classes of behavior. Classified behavior patterns included feeding, lying, standing, lying down, standing up, normal walking, and active walking. Accuracy, sensitivity, and precision were used as statistical parameters of classification performance. The SS-FCM algorithm achieved a reasonable identification level of feeding (80% accuracy, 53% sensitivity, 56% precision), lying (92%, 96%, 89%), standing (90%, 51%, 58%), lying down (99%, 82%, 91%), standing up (99%, 66%, 78%), normal walking (97%, 95%, 86%), and active walking (99%, 95%, 88%). At the second stage, a D-S evidence theory method fused the result of SS-FCM algorithm and the cow position to classify all the behaviors predicted as feeding or standing at the previous stage. The sensitivity and precision of the two behaviors increased by an average of 17% and 16.5%, respectively. Overall, we found that the wireless measurement system provided an accurate, remote measure for cow behavior over the trial period, and the ensemble algorithm could effectively recognize various behavior patterns in dairy cows.

Here, we assume the construction of cyclic codes over ℜ={F}_{2}[u,v]/ < u^2, v^2 - v, uv - vu >. In particular, dual cyclic codes over ℜ= {F}_{2}[u]/ <u^2> with respect to Euclidean inner product are discussed. The cyclic dual codes over ℜ are studied with respect to DNA codes (reverse and reverse complement). Many interesting results are obtained. Some examples are also provided, which explain the main results. The GC-Content and DNA codes over ℜ are discussed. We summarise the article by giving a special DNA table.

Authors: Yön Burcu , Belviranlı Muaz , Okudan Nilsel 
Published: April 2019

Abstract

Background
The objective of this investigation was to examine the impact of silymarin supplementation on locomotion, anxiety-related behavior, learning, and memory via several behavioral tests, such as open field, elevated plus maze, and Morris water maze tests in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

Methods
The rats were divided into the control, diabetes, silymarin, and diabetes plus silymarin groups. On the 30th–35th days of the study, several behavioral tests were performed and blood and brain tissue samples were taken and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) levels were analyzed.

Results
There was no significant difference in locomotor activity between the groups (p = 0.534). Spatial memory was lower (p = 0.000) but anxiety scores were higher (p = 0.005) in the diabetes group than in the control, silymarin, and diabetes plus silymarin groups. Plasma (p = 0.000) and brain tissue (p = 0.007) BDNF levels were lower in the diabetes group than in the control, silymarin, and diabetes plus silymarin groups; however, plasma (p = 0.432) and brain tissue (p = 0.321) HDAC3 levels did not significantly differ between the groups.

Conclusions
The findings obtained from this study suggest that silymarin supplementation could improve anxiety-related behavior, and learning and memory in diabetic rats by increasing the BDNF levels.
Methanol stem bark extract of Adansonia digitata ameliorates chronic unpredictable mild stress-induced depression-like behavior: Involvement of the HPA axis, BDNF, and stress biomarkers pathways

Published: April 2019

Abstract

Background

Adansonia digitata L. (Malvaceae) is used locally in the management of depressive illnesses, and its antidepressant-like effect has been previously reported. The present study was aimed at determining the effect of the methanol extract of the stem bark of A. digitata (MEAD) on chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) and the possible mechanism responsible for its antidepressant activity.

Methods
Acute toxicity of MEAD was determined using the OECD guideline 420. The CUMS model was used to induce depression, and behavioral tests such as sucrose preference test (SPT), open field test (OFT), novel-object recognition test (NORT), and tail suspension test (TST) were carried out in mice. The concentrations of plasma cortisol and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein in the brain were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were assessed using colorimetric methods.

Results
The LD50 was established to be ≥5000 mg/kg. On CUMS-induced depression, MEAD significantly (p ≤ 0.05) and dose dependently reversed the weight loss, increased the line-crossing activity in OFT, increased sucrose consumption in SPT, decreased the duration of immobility in TST, and increased the novelty exploration time in NORT. The MEAD extract significantly (p ≤ 0.05) and dose dependently increased the levels of BDNF, decreased the levels of plasma cortisol, increased the levels of total SOD activity, and decreased the levels of plasma MDA.

Conclusion
Our findings show that MEAD ameliorates CUMS-induced depressive-like behavior and its effect is possibly mediated via the neuroendocrine, neurotrophic, and oxidative stress pathways.
The Translator’s Ideology: A Study of Three Persian Translations of George Orwell’sNineteen Eighty-Four
Authors: Amirdabbaghian Amin , Shunmugam Krishnavanie 
Published: April 2019

AbstractThe ideology and worldviews of a community may be shifted and modified through social changes brought about by political upheavals. In a country like Iran, the Islamic revolution (1979/80) has played a major role in re-shaping the ideology of the governing body which among many other things involves modifications in the language policy. After the revolution, Persian speakers were encouraged to be more conservative in their use of language. As a result, those who tended to produce discourse which was more conservative and Islam-oriented became more popular and respected among the Iranian people. Ideology is one of the major factors which influences the manipulation of language use in translation. Prefaces and introductions which form the paratexts to a translated product often contain expressions of a translator’s ideology, and this usually manifests itself in the translation product. This study aims to describe the ideological impact of the social situation both in the pre- and post-revolutionary era in Iran on translations of George Orwell’s famous political novel,Nineteen Eighty-Four(1949) into Persian. This study will, therefore, compare the prefaces in three Persian translations ofNineteen Eighty-Fourwhich were produced before and after the 1979 Iranian Islamic Revolution. The three Persian translations are by Mehdi Bahremand (1976), Zhila Sazegar (1980) and Saleh Hosseini (1982). This study employs Farahzad’s (2012) second dimension of the three-dimensional translation criticism model i. e. paratextual analysis alongside Lefevere’s (1992) theory of manipulation to investigate some of the lexical differences that manifest themselves in the pre-and post-revolutionary Persian translations ofNineteen Eighty-Fourwhich reflect the personal ideologies of the three Persian translators as explicitly or implicitly expressed in their prefaces.
Mondialisation de la littérature et littérature mondiale – Traduction d’une culture « mineure » vers une culture « centrale »
Authors: Kim Jeong-yeon 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The present article attempts to analyze the particularities of the practice of literary translation from a language of peripheral culture to a language of central culture, based on the case of Korean literature. Because of the inequality that governs the relations between the two cultures involved, the transfer from one to the other raises extratextual problems. After briefly tracing the history of the translation of Korean literary works into widely spoken languages, especially in the French-speaking communities, this paper deals with the specific characteristics and modalities of this activity, as well as with their influence on the translations itself, focusing on the choice of works to be translated, the distinctive features of their translators, the translation processes they implement and the socio-cultural context in which the translation is done.
Modalpartikeln im Deutschen als Komponenten eines modal-bewertenden Rahmens
Authors: Averina Anna 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The article deals with the ability of modal particles in German to build modal-evaluative frame of the utterance. It is shown that they attract other modal or evaluative elements in the sentence. It becomes evident when modal particles are used in some types of dependent clauses, after modal words or if they encode causal relations between sentences. The author considers them as central components of modal-evaluative frame because they express multiplane deixis and are possible in the utterances which are made from the inner perspective.
Bond risk premia and the return forecasting factor
Authors: Gutierrez Agustin , Hevia Constantino , Sola Martin 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The return forecasting factor is a linear combination of forward rates that seems to predict 1-year excess bond returns of bond of all maturities better than traditional measures obtained from the yield curve. If this single factor actually captures all the relevant fluctuations in bond risk premia, then it should also summarize all the economically relevant variations in excess returns considering different holding periods. We find that it does not. We conclude that including the return forecasting factor as the main driver of risk premia in a term structure model, as has been suggested, is not supported by the data.
Hacer sonar la tradición a través de las fronteras
Authors: Ragland Cathy 
Published: April 2019

La carrera del acordeonista y líder de banda musical, Ramón Ayala, abarca más de 50 años de labor como arquitecto pionero de la música norteña, el popular género mexicano / méxico-americano del siglo xx. A diferencia de Los Tigres del Norte (su rival más visible en California), Ayala apenas cuenta con el apoyo de medios de comunicación y de grandes disqueras, casi no recibe atención periodística ni académica, y reside en un poblado rural fronterizo de Texas. En este ensayo sostengo que la colaboración formativa de Ayala con el cantante y compositor Cornelio Reyna, en el dúo arquetípico norteño Los Relámpagos del Norte, dio como resultado innovaciones clave que modernizaron y transformaron una tradición popular regional en un fenómeno de la música popular transnacional. Examino cómo Ayala construyó una “imagen de autor” definida por una identidad regional rural, de clase trabajadora, conservadora, hipermasculina y formada por la ciudadanía bicultural y binacional de la frontera. La popularidad sostenida de Ayala y su autenticidad “mexicana” percibida desafían las tendencias ideológicas actuales en la industria “Regional Mexican”, en gran parte urbana e impulsada por un cambio generacional hacia los narcocorridos, las letras violentas y las imágenes hipersexualizadas de lo rural.
Accordionist and bandleader Ramón Ayala’s career spans over 50 years as a pioneering architect of música norteña, the popular Mexican/Mexican American genre of the 20th century. Unlike Los Tigres del Norte (his more visible California-based rival) Ayala relies on scant media and major label support, receives almost no journalistic and scholarly attention, and resides in a rural Texas border town. This essay argues that Ayala’s formative collaboration with singer/songwriter Cornelio Reyna as the archetypal norteño duo Los Relámpagos del Norte, resulted in critical innovations that modernized and transformed a regional folk tradition into a transnational popular music phenomenon. I examine how Ayala constructed an “author image,” defined by regional identity as rural, working-class, conservative, hypermasculine and shaped by bi-cultural and bi-national border citizenship. Ayala’s continued popularity and perceived “Mexican” authenticity challenges current ideological trends in today’s largely urban “Regional Mexican” industry driven by a generational shift towards narcocorridos, violent lyrics, and hypersexualized imaginings of rurality.

Abstract
The wheat stem sawfly (WSS) (Cephus cinctus Norton) is a major yield-reducing pest of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Varieties with pith-filled, or solid, stems provide a measure of resistance by inhibiting larval survival inside the stem. Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) has resistance to the wheat stem sawfly even in the absence of known genes for stem solidness. To determine the genetic basis of resistance in durum wheat, a susceptible durum wheat, PI 41353, was identified from among 1,211 landrace accessions from around the world screened in WSS-infested sites. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population of 105 individuals was developed from a cross of PI 41353 with a typically resistant variety, Pierce. The RIL were screened in a total of three WSS-infested locations in Montana over a two year period. A genetic map was constructed with 2,867 SNP-based markers. A quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis identified six QTL associated with resistance. An allele from resistant cultivar Pierce at a QTL on chromosome 3A, Qss.msub-3AL, caused a 25% reduction in stem cutting. Assessment of near-isogenic lines that varied for alleles at Qss.msub-3AL showed that the Pierce allele was also associated with higher stem solidness as measured early in stem development, which is a critical stage for WSS oviposition and larval development. Stem solidness of Pierce and other resistant durum wheat lines largely disappeared later in plant development. Results suggest a genetic mechanism for WSS resistance observed in durum wheat, and provide an additional source of WSS resistance for hexaploid bread wheat.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian BAP dan madu dalam seluruh perlakuan tersebut berpengaruh terhadap pembentukan fase-fase embriogenesis somatik kalus manggis. Konsentrasi terbaik dalam pembentukan fase embriogenesis somatik diperoleh dari perlakuan 3 mg/L BAP + 9 mL/L madu dengan presentase pembentukan kalus 100%, waktu muncul kalus 10,67 hst, volume kalus 1,33 dan adanya fase embriogenesis somatik berupa globular, hati, dan torpedo.Abstract Garcinia mangostana L. was known as the queen of the tropical fruits. Mangosteen was formed by apomixis which is recalcitrant. One of the methods of mangosteen propagation is by using a tissue culture technique through somatic embryogenesis. Mangosteen somatic embryogenesis occurs preceded by callus formation. This study aimed to determine the best concentration of BAP and honey in single as well as in combination for the formation phase of somatic embryogenesis in the callus of mangosteen from Bengkalis. The study used a randomized block design with the addition of BAP (3 and 7 mg/L) and honey (3; 6; and 9 mL/L) either single or combination in Murashige-Skoog (MS) medium with 3 replications. The results of this study indicated that the addition of BAP and honey in all treatments affected the phases of somatic embryogenesis of mangosteen callus. The best concentration in the formation of somatic embryogenesis was obtained from, the treatment of 3 mg/L BAP + 9 mL/L which produced 100% of callus formation, with callus emergence time of 10.67 days after plantation, callus volume of 1.33 and the presence of somatic embryogenesis in the form of globular, heart, and torpedo.
