DEVELOPMENT OF A LAND DEGRADATION ASSESSMENT MODEL BASED ON FIELD INDICATORS ASSESSMENT AND PREDICTION METHODS IN WAI SARI, SUB-WATERSHED KAIRATU DISTRICT, WESTERN SERAM REGENCY, MALUKU PROVINCE, INDONESIA
Authors: Nature Science 
Published: May 2019

The study was conducted in Wai Sari sub-watershed, Western Seram Regency Maluku to develop an accurate land degradation assessment model for tropical small islands. The Stocking’s field land degradation measurement and RUSLE methods were applied to estimate soil loss by erosion and the results of both methods were statistically tested in order to obtain a correction factor. Field indicators and prediction data were measured on 95 slope units derived from the topographic map. The rates of soil loss were calculated according to both methods, and the results were used to classify the degree of land degradation. The results show that the degree of land degradation based on the field assessment ranges from none-slight (4.04 - 17.565 t/ha/yr) to very high (235.44 - 404.00 t/ha/yr), while the RUSLE method ranges from none-slight (0.04-4.59 t/ha/yr) to very high 203.90 - 518.13 t/ha/yr. However, the RUSLE method shows much higher in average soil loss (133.4 t/ha/yr) than the field assessment (33.9 t/ha/yr). The best regression equation of logD/RP = - 0.594 + 1.0 logK + 1.0 logLS + 1.0 logC or D = 0.2547xRxKxLSx CxP was found to be a more suitable land degradation assessment model for a small-scale catchment area in the tropical small islands.
İşe Yarar Bir Şey Filminin Kadın Karakterlerine Ve Ölüm Olgusuna Feminist Film Kuramı Çerçevesinde Anamorfotik Bakış
Authors: ÖZDEMİR Berceste Gülçin 
Published: May 2019

Cinema
presents the representation strategies of female characters in a different way
to spectators. One of the titles that feminist film theories bring into
question is the representation mechanism of female characters. While female
characters are presented in mainstream cinema in such a way that they serve the
patriarchal view, whereas, in the films outside the mainstream, female characters are presented with such
narrative strategies that these strategies allow the breaking of the discourses
of the patriarchal view. While Pelin Esmer’s film İşe Yarar Bir Şey is a film
narrative outside the mainstream, it presents different female characters apart
from the stereotyped female characters of the mainstream cinema. The attitudes
of the two female characters to life and the way they experience life are
presented in such a way that they make people question the discourses of the
mainstream cinema. In this context, the
attitudes of female characters towards life in the film narrative, public and
private spaces, the character traits they represent and their approach to the
phenomenon of death will be discussed based on the article of the feminist film
theorist Teresa de Lauretis entitled Rethinking Women’s Cinema: Aesthetics and
Feminist Theory (1985). The presentation of the death phenomenon that the story
takes to the focus center is opened up for discussion with the concept of
anamorphosis, which Slavoj Zizek interpreted based on Jacques Lacan. In this
study, both the presentation of female characters in the narrative and the
making sense of the death phenomenon by the characters are questioned with the
concept of anamorphotic view. In this context, the study aims to question the
relationship between female characters and death with a philosophical approach
and to enable the thinking of the representation strategies of characters from
multiple perspectives.
Prevent
Authors: Alexander James 
Published: May 2019

This reflection presents a cautious look at Prevent from a youth workers’ point of view. It has been written with reference to first-hand experience and conversations with fellow youth workers and attempts to shed some light on why many in the youth and community sector may be reluctant to engage with the UK Government’s Prevent Strategy. Although the ideas presented in this article have been developed through personal experience, they also constitute the basis of planned future research on the way Prevent is being received within the youth sector.
As such the paper will first set a policy context for the strategy outlining how community safety and crime prevention initiatives which once relied on voluntary involvement, are now increasingly being reinforced by a legal duty on particular professional groups of people to participate. I then look at the focus on the concern around the potential radicalisation of young people considering why they feature so significantly within the UK Government’s counter terrorism strategy. This viewpoint will be assessed against terrorism related conviction statistics and data on Prevent referrals and interventions, both of which suggest that the counter terrorist focus on youth radicalisation could be misguided. The article will close with some reflections on experiences gained as a youth worker regarding the realities of what can happen when youth organisations engage with Prevent as well as presenting an example of the pressure felt when organisations actively state that they have nothing to offer in terms of information on potential radicals.
Respecting and Ensuring Rights
Authors: Dhaliwal Sukhwant 
Published: May 2019

This article revisits the multiple terrorist attacks that took place in England in 2017 and, through a closer examination of the narratives of the eight male perpetrators of these attacks, it draws the readers’ attention to the flaws in state and non-state responses to fundamentalist mobilisations. The article works with Karima Bennoune’s (2008) radical universalist approach to highlight the importance of a human rights framework for tackling fundamentalism. This is positioned against a neo-liberal and nationalist state response and a reactive left/anti-racist response in order to make visible the connections between terror and torture and also the myopia of a response that emphasises an obligation to either respect or ensure rights rather than both simultaneously. This is particularly underlined within the final section where a discussion of gender perspectives on tackling fundamentalism distinguishes between the human right to security, an important concern for feminists involved in ending violence against women and girls, and the government’s protection of it’s own interests through securitisation. In keeping with the conjoined objectives of the piece, the final section offers a simultaneous critique of non-state actors for whom every state intervention on fundamentalism, and every feminist engagement with the state, is sullied by the accusation of ‘securitisation’.

Published: May 2019

Abstract
In the research for this contribution, the use of layered hybrid composites as materials for ballistic armor has been tested. As part of the study, ballistic tests of glass/aramid/carbon fiber laminated comp osite plates at different reinforcing angles, in various numbers and thicknesses were carried out and the results analyzed. Eight hybrid composite laminates, of various thicknesses 200 × 200 mm in size were produced by the hand lay-up method at angles of 0°, +/−45°. Plain and twill fabrics were used to analyze the ballistic performances at various fiber reinforcing angles. Ballistic tests were carried out at the Elazig Special Operation Branch Office, using a Beretta gun loaded with 9 mm FMJ (full metal jacket) bullets. These experiments with ballistic test equipment were conducted in accordance with international standards. During the ballistic experiments, the velocity and BFS (backface signature) was measured and evaluated. Test results suggest that five samples were successful according to NIJ 0101-06 standards. It was found that twill woven (TW) fabrics made for the study manifest a higher ballistic performance than plain-woven (PW) fabrics. UD (unidirectional), +/−45° UD fabrics were found to be more effective than 0° UD fabrics. The findings are indicative for the design of lightweight ballistic armor material.
Effect of heat treatment on the wear behavior of GX200Cr13Ni6WMoMn

Published: May 2019

Abstract
The effect of cryogenic treatment on the microstructure, hardening behavior and wear resistance of subcritical treated GX200Cr13Ni6WMoMn was investigated. The specimens were improved for thermal shock resistance by having an austenitic matrix in place under all heat treatment conditions. After subcritical treatment, heat treatment increased the hardness and wear resistance of all the specimens since thin secondary carbides precipitated in the rich retained austenite. The amount of precipitated secondary carbides and martensite transformed by cryogenic treatment was greater than by air-cooling. The cryogenic process reduced the amount of austenite, but the austenite retained was not completely converted into secondary carbides. The abrasion resistance, toughness and hardness of the specimens were markedly improved by primary carbides and secon dary carbides after heat treatment for 1 h at 900 °C.

Published: May 2019

Abstract
An 6201Al alloy was rolled at room temperature (RT), liquid nitrogen and alcohol mixed temperature (LAT) and liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT). The effect of the rolling temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated by means of hardness measurements, tensile tests, optical microscopy (OM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Microstructural observations reveal that the dislocation tangles and dislocation density increased with decreasing rolling temperature. The dislocation accumulation was enhanced, and the formation of dislocation tangles and cells occurred during deformation under low rolling temperature. The substructures of the rolled sample at LAT and LNT are similar, consisting of dislocation cells, high dislocation density with networks, dislocation array, dislocation tangles and subgrains. Compared with rolled samples at RT and LAT, the rolled samples at LNT presented strengthened hardness and strength. The improvement of mechanical properties contributes to the fine substructures and accumulation of higher dislocation density during low temperature rolling. In addition, with decreasing rolling temperature, the average dimple size decreased.

Published: May 2019

Abstract
Thickness distribution has an important impact on the quality of thermoformed products. It has significant effects not only on durability but also on the oxygen and gas transmission rate of thermoformed packaging products. In this study, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and polystyrene sheets were thermoformed using a lab scale thermoforming machine. Three different mold shapes were considered: conical, spherical and cylindrical. The thickness distribution of thermoformed acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and polystyrene samples for each mold was investigated based on geometric element analysis (GEA) and finite element analysis (FEA). Finite element analysis yielded more accurate results than geometric element analysis. Process parameters such as temperature distribution on the sheets before molding, have a crucial effect on thickness distribution for all configurations.

Published: May 2019

Abstract
The suitability of different preparation methods for imaging nano-carbides by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was evaluated taking the example of cold work steel X153CrMoV12 manufactured by powder metallurgy. The ion beam slope cutting method, carbide etching using sulfurous acid, and electrolytic polishing using the Struers electrolyte A2 were considered in this study. The preparation aim was to develop an appropriate method for the qualitative detection of nano-carbides using the SEM to characterize relatively large sample areas and to substitute time-consuming transmission electron microscope examinations. The carbide detection was performed on heat-treated samples using sulfurous acid, applying the ion beam slope cutting method, and by electrolytic polishing using the electrolyte A2. In the SEM, nano-carbides could be observed on the sample surfaces prepared by ion beam slope cutting and the electrolytically polished ones. The examinations were performed on conventionally quenched and tempered material samples of cold work steel X153CrMoV12 (reference condition) as well as on samples subjected to deep cryogenic treatment (DCT). Deep cryogenic treated samples showed a significantly increased number of nano-carbides.

Published: May 2019

A simple, rapid, reliable and novel titration procedure for the mercurimetric assay of metformin hydrochloride (MHCl) based on measurement of the chloride content of its hydrochloride salt is described. In this experiment, initially a synthetic mercury(II) thiocyanate [Hg(SCN)2] indicator was prepared by titrating mercury(II) nitrate [Hg(NO3)2] against potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) in the 1:2 stoichiometric ratio using ferric nitrate [Fe(NO3)3]. After addition of a known amount of Hg(NO3)2 to the indicator, the solution was further titrated against the aqueous solution of MHCl until the original red color reappeared. The concentration of chloride present in the volume (of MHCl) utilized for the reaction was found to be reacting in the 2:1 stoichiometric ratio with the Hg(NO3)2 taken in the second titration. The statistical treatment of the experimental data obtained by determining MHCl in the concentration range 0.8281 to 8.281 g/lit, indicates that the procedure is precise and accurate. The procedure was further applied for the analysis of MHCl in tablet formulations. The average recovery and accuracy were found to be in agreement with claimed by the manufacturer. The common excipients used in tablet formulations did not interfere in the determination of MHCl by this procedure as observed by the recovery experiment using standard addition method. The chemistry involved in titration, the action of an indicator at the end point and the factors that affecting the reaction stoichiometry are discussed.

Societal Security and Human Development: An Indonesian-Islam Perspective
Authors: Effendi Yusli - 
Published: May 2019

In contemporary global politics, apparently Islam has become synonymous with conflict, instability, and violence. These negative labels in minds of many people reinforce the perception that Islam remain not to correlate with, even hinder, the quest for world’s peace, security, and human development, the sixteenth goal of SDGs. This paper aims to explore how Islam explains and understand human security by discussing Islamic values particularly on the concepts of societal security and sustainable development based on Indonesian Islamic society experience with special reference to Malang city. Reassessing how Islam serves as ideational factor for protecting people, this paper is an effort of enriching human security by incorporating religious paradigm, in particular Indonesian Islam, as an alternative paradigm in developing better understanding of the subject and development discourse.

Published: May 2019

Swyer syndrome is caused by abnormal sex differentiation during the embryonic period, resulting in incomplete intrauterine masculinization and undifferentiated gonads. The present case report describes a patient with Swyer syndrome associated with gonadoblastoma. At age of 16 years, this patient reported with primary amenorrhea at Gynae Department of the BIRDEM general Hospital. A physical examination revealed that the patient was at Tanner stage 4 with respect to axillary hair, breasts and pubic hair; she had normal vagina and a small cervix. As her examination findings revealed normal, she was referred to Endocrine outpatient (OPD) for further evaluation. Her karyotyping revealed 46XXY, abdominal ultrasonography revealed adnexal tumor in both sides. On laparotomy, complex tumor was found in both adnexal regions and both ovaries were resected and histopathology revealed gonadoblastoma. The patient was subjected to subsequent chemotherapy. She was treated with a combination of estrogens and progestogens to induce cyclical bleeding, which she discontinued after 3 years. She was lost to follow up for 16 years and again reported to endocrine OPD with irregular menstrual bleeding. Presence of any residual gonadal functional tissue was searched both biochemically and by imaging and the result was negative. Her menstruation was stopped by progestogens and which later on withdrawn successfully without any further onset of menstruation. In conclusion, this report describes an extremely rare case of Swyer syndrome with gonadoblastoma and spontaneous menstruation after a long period of discontinuation of hormone replacement treatment.

Published: May 2019

Background: Myringoplasty is one of the surgical techniques for the management of chronic suppurative otitis media with permanent perforation of tympanic membrane. It is defined as simple surgical repair of tympanic membrane perforation without doing ossicular reconstruction.
Objective: To determine the success rate of myringoplasty and to examine whether the hearing improvement is a potential indication for surgery.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital from January 2017 to December 2017 and 100 patients who underwent myringoplasty in this period were analyzed. A total of 100 patients with dry central tympanic membrane perforations of various sizes were included in this study.
Results: Myringoplasty was performed in total of 100 patients. Male were (45%) and females were (55%). Twenty one (7%) of them belonged to age group of 10-20 years, 31 (31%) were in the age range of 21-33 years, 38(38%) were the age range 31-40 years while 24 (24%) aged between 41-50 years with mean age of 26.32 ±S.D 9.59 years. Overall success rate of graft uptake was noted in 88 (88%) out of 100 cases.
Conclusion: Myringoplasty is a safe surgical procedure in achieving intact tympanic membrane and to improve the hearing loss. Therefore, underlay technique being technically simple should be preferred, but the ultimate decision about the technique to be employed depends on the surgeons preference and the site of perforation.

Undescended testis is a common risk factor for the testicular neoplasm. The risk of malignancy in an undescended testis is highest when the testis lies in the abdomen. It usually presents with a painless intraabdominal lump. Seminoma is the most common adult germ cell tumour of testis whereas Yolk sac tumour in seen in the pediatric age group. Pure yolk sac testicular tumor in an adult is extremely uncommon. Here we present a case where an adult male presented to us with a painless left sided intraabdominal lump with undescended testis on the same side was previously diagnosed as metastatic adenocarcinoma of unknown primary. In a private hospital he received three cycles of chemotherapy; but the lump did not reduce in size and he was reffered to our care for better management. The lump was excised and histopathological report revealed yolk sac tumour of left testis which is a rare presentation in adult.
