Implementation of Story Mapping and Mind Mapping Toward Students' Reading Comprehension Enhancement: A Comparative Study
Authors: Wulandari Novia 
Published: September 2019

The purpose of this study is to find out significant difference in implementing Story Mapping and Mind Mapping techniques toward studentsâ€™ reading comprehension enhancement. This study used a quantitative research method and comparative design by measuring the achievement of pre-test and post-test. This study addressed three research questions: (a) What is the achievement of the students after being treated with Story Mapping and Mind-mapping Techniques? (b) Is there any significant difference between Story Mapping and Mind-mapping techniques in enhancing studentsâ€™ reading comprehension?, (c) What is studentsâ€™ response towards Story Mapping and Mind-mapping techniques?
There are different types of text in reading; however, the researcher limited the texts given to the participantsâ€”utilizing narrative and descriptive texts only. This study utilized small average amount of sample sizeâ€”72 eight graders to be given the treatment. The purpose of limiting the number of participants is to provide effective treatment for them.
The result of this study shows that p. value (sig) = 0.279 > Î± (0.05). After analyzing the data, the researcher found out that the students reading comprehension are enhanced but there is no significant difference in reading comprehension enhancement between those who acquired Story Mapping technique and those who acquired Mind Mapping technique. Both techniques are deemed to be effective in enhancing studentsâ€™ reading comprehension.

Authors: Hutabarat Asna , Simanjuntak Debora Chaterin 
Published: September 2019

This study aims to determine the sources that cause speaking anxiety overwhelms English learners. It is qualitative in nature and focuses on learnersâ€™ speaking anxiety. The samples of the research are composed of senior high school students who deal with speaking anxiety. The primary data-gathering method is interview through semi-structured questions. The data were collected by in-depth face-to-face interview with 10 participants; the data were analyzed by determining the themes and description. The gathered data were analyzed using coding and verbatim quotes from research respondents. The results show 3 themes regarding sources that cause Speaking anxiety: Limitations of English Exposure, Fear of Negative Evaluation, and Learning Condition. It is undeniable that attitude holds an imperative role in learning to speak English. The results show two themes regarding learnersâ€™ attitude in causing them to become anxious whenever they speak English; the themes are self-inferiority and fear of making mistakes. Despite sources that cause learners to be anxious in speaking English, they find ways to reduce their anxiety in speaking English and from this study, there are two themes found regarding ways to reduce anxiety; they are: Media intervention and Establish learning support.

Searching for Wide Companions and Identifying Circum(sub)stellar Disks through PSF Fitting of Spitzer/IRAC Archival Images
Authors: Martinez Raquel A. , Kraus Adam L. 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Direct imaging surveys have discovered wide-orbit planetary-mass companions that challenge existing models of both star and planet formation, but their demographics remain poorly sampled. We have developed an automated binary companion point-spread function (PSF) fitting pipeline to take advantage of Spitzer's infrared sensitivity to planetary-mass objects and circum(sub)stellar disks, measuring photometry across the four Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) channels of 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 μm. We present PSF fitting photometry of archival Spitzer/IRAC images for 11 young, low-mass (M ∼ 0.044–0.88 M
⊙; K3.5–M7.5) members of three nearby star-forming regions (Chameleon, Taurus, and Upper Scorpius; d ∼ 150 pc; τ ∼ 1–10 Myr) that host confirmed or candidate faint companions at ρ = 1.″68–7.″31. We recover all system primaries, six confirmed, and two candidate low-mass companions in our sample. We also measure nonphotospheric [3.6]–[8.0] colors for three of the system primaries, four of the confirmed companions, and one candidate companion, signifying the presence of circumstellar or circum(sub)stellar disks. We furthermore report the confirmation of a ρ = 4.″66 (540 au) companion to [SCH06] J0359+2009 which was previously identified as a candidate via imaging over five years ago, but was not studied further. Based on its brightness (M
[3.6] = 8.53 mag), we infer the companion mass to be M = 20 ± 5 M
Jup given the primary’s model-derived age of 10 Myr. Our framework is sensitive to companions with masses less than 10 M
Jup at separations of ρ = 300 au in nearby star-forming regions, opening up a new regime of parameter space that has yet to be studied in detail, discovering planetary-mass companions in their birth environments and revealing their circum(sub)stellar disks.
A Search for Gamma-Ray Prompt Emission Associated with the Lorimer Burst FRB 010724

Published: September 2019

Abstract
No transient electromagnetic emission has yet been found in association to fast radio bursts (FRBs), the only possible exception (3σ confidence) being the putative γ-ray signal detected in Swift/Burst Alert Telescope data in the energy band 15–150 keV at the time and position of FRB 131104. Systematic searches for hard X/γ-ray counterparts to other FRBs ended up with just lower limits on the radio/γ-ray fluence ratios. In 2001, at the time of the earliest discovered FRBs, the BeppoSAX Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GRBM) was one of the most sensitive open-sky γ-ray monitors in the 40–700 keV energy band. During its lifetime, one of the FRBs with the highest radio fluence ever recorded, FRB 010724 (800 ± 400 Jy ms), also known as the “Lorimer burst,” was promptly visible to the GRBM. Upon an accurate modeling of the GRBM background, eased by its equatorial orbit, we searched for a possible γ-ray signal in the first 400 s following the FRB, similar to that claimed for FRB 131104 and found no significant emission down to a 5σ limit in the range (0.24–4.7) × 10−6 erg cm−2 (corresponding to 1 and 400 s integration time, respectively), in the energy band 40–700 keV. This corresponds to

Jy ms erg−1 cm2, i.e., the deepest limit on the ratio between radio and γ-ray fluence, which rules out a γ-ray counterpart similar to that of FRB 131104. We discuss the implications on the possible mechanisms and progenitors that have been proposed in the literature, also taking into account its relatively low dispersion measure (375 ± 3 pc cm−3) and an inferred redshift limit of z < 0.4.

Abstract
We present time-resolved 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias and 4.2 m William Herschel Telescope intermediate resolution spectroscopy of the X-ray transient MAXI J1820+070 (=ASASSN-18ey) obtained during its decline to the quiescent state. Cross-correlation of the 21 individual spectra against late-type templates reveals a sinusoidal velocity modulation with a period of 0.68549 ± 0.00001 day and semi-amplitude of 417.7 ± 3.9 km s−1. We derive a mass function f(M) = 5.18 ± 0.15 M
⊙, dynamically confirming the black hole (BH) nature of the compact object. Our analysis of the stellar absorption features supports a K3-5 spectral classification for the donor star, which contributes ≈20% of the total flux at 5200–6800 Å. The photometric 0.703 ± 0.003 day periodicity observed during outburst is 2.6% longer than the orbital period supporting the presence of a superhump modulation in the outburst light curves. In line with this interpretation, we constrain the binary mass ratio to be q ≃ 0.12. In addition, we observe a sharp increase in the Hα emission line equivalent width during inferior conjunction of the donor star that we interpret as a grazing eclipse of the accretion disk and allows us to constrain the binary inclination to i ≳ 69°. On the other hand, the absence of X-ray eclipses during outburst imply i ≲ 77°. These inclination limits, together with our dynamical solution, lead to a BH mass in the range 7–8 M
⊙. We also measure a systemic velocity γ = −21.6 ± 2.3 km s−1, which, combined with the Gaia second data release proper motion and parallax, implies a large peculiar velocity ∼100 km s−1.

Abstract
Inflammation is involved in initiation and progression of aortic stenosis (AS). However, the role of the complement system, a crucial component of innate immunity in AS, is unclear. We hypothesized that circulating levels of complement factor B (FB), an important component of the alternative pathway, are upregulated and could predict outcome in patients with severe symptomatic AS. Therefore, plasma levels of FB, Bb, and terminal complement complex were analyzed in three cohorts of patients with severe symptomatic AS and mild-to-moderate or severe asymptomatic AS (population 1, n = 123; population 2, n = 436; population 3, n = 61) and in healthy controls by enzyme immunoassays. Compared with controls, symptomatic AS patients had significantly elevated levels of FB (2.9- and 2.8-fold increase in population 1 and 2, respectively). FB levels in symptomatic and asymptomatic AS patients were comparable (population 2 and 3), and in asymptomatic patients FB correlated inversely with valve area. FB levels in population 1 and 2 correlated with terminal complement complex levels and measures of systemic inflammation (i.e., CRP), cardiac function (i.e., NT-proBNP), and cardiac necrosis (i.e., Troponin T). High FB levels were significantly associated with mortality also after adjusting for clinical and biochemical covariates (hazard ratio 1.37; p = 0.028, population 2). Plasma levels of the Bb fragment showed a similar pattern in relation to mortality. We concluded that elevated levels of FB and Bb are associated with adverse outcome in patients with symptomatic AS. Increased levels of FB in asymptomatic patients suggest the involvement of FB from the early phase of the disease.
AhR Activation Leads to Massive Mobilization of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells with Immunosuppressive Activity through Regulation of CXCR2 and MicroRNA miR-150-5p and miR-543-3p That Target Anti-Inflammatory Genes

Abstract
The compound 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), an environmental contaminant, is a potent ligand for aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). In the current study, we made an exciting observation that naive C57BL/6 mice that were exposed i.p. to TCDD showed massive mobilization of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in the peritoneal cavity. These MDSCs were highly immunosuppressive and attenuated Con A–induced hepatitis upon adoptive transfer. TCDD administration in naive mice also led to induction of several chemokines and cytokines in the peritoneal cavity and serum (CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL11, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL5, CXCL9, G-CSF, GM-CSF, VEGF, and M-CSF) and chemokine receptors on MDSCs (CCR1, CCR5, and CXCR2). Treatment with CXCR2 or AhR antagonist in mice led to marked reduction in TCDD-induced MDSCs. TCDD-induced MDSCs had high mitochondrial respiration and glycolytic rate and exhibited differential microRNA (miRNA) expression profile. Specifically, there was significant downregulation of miR-150-5p and miR-543-3p. These two miRNAs targeted and enhanced anti-inflammatory and MDSC-regulatory genes, including IL-10, PIM1, ARG2, STAT3, CCL11 and its receptors CCR3 and CCR5 as well as CXCR2. The role of miRs in MDSC activation was confirmed by transfection studies. Together, the current study demonstrates that activation of AhR in naive mice triggers robust mobilization of MDSCs through induction of chemokines and their receptors and MDSC activation through regulation of miRNA expression. AhR ligands include diverse compounds from environmental toxicants, such as TCDD, that are carcinogenic to dietary indoles that are anti-inflammatory. Our studies provide new insights on how such ligands may regulate health and disease through induction of MDSCs.
Two Photoplays by Eugene O'Neill: The Hairy Ape and Desire Under the Elms, November 1926
Authors: Schaber Bennet , Bahroun Adel 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
In 1926 Eugene O'Neill wrote screen treatments of two of his most successful and celebrated plays, The Hairy Ape and Desire Under the Elms. Brought to public attention in 1928 through a summary offered by Richard Watts Jr. in the New York Herald Tribune, they were for a long time considered “lost” or “burned.” They are presented here in full for the first time. These “photoplays” offer evidence of O'Neill's clearly growing sense of film form and its possibilities. This “cinematic” O'Neill would be one of immanence rather than transcendence, of surface folding, impersonal forces and singularities, rather than bodies sheltering metaphysical depths.
Chastening Desire: Chinese Adaptations of Eugene O'Neill's Desire Under the Elms
Authors: Qi Shouhua 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
This article studies three Chinese adaptations of Eugene O'Neill's 1924 play Desire Under the Elms: the 1989 chuanju, the 2000 Henan quju, and the 2007 huaju (spoken drama) adaptations. These adaptations create interesting intertextual tensions not only with the O'Neill play, but also with one another in terms of art, ethos, and morality. The two traditional Chinese drama endeavors took bold, creative license in “chastening” the O'Neill play for their intended audiences to better appeal to their moral sensibilities. In doing so they turned the American classic into a “new” Chinese play of social justice and a cautionary tale. The huaju production, on the other hand, was a more faithful rendition; and, ironically, in taking this artistically more “conservative” route, it managed to give fuller, more nuanced portrayal of the main characters—probing more boldly into the sexual mores, politics, and psychologies embodied in the original play.
Tectonic Triggers for Postsubduction Magmatic-Hydrothermal Gold Metallogeny in the Late Cenozoic Anatolian Metallogenic Trend, Turkey

Published: September 2019

Abstract
The newly defined, 1,500-km-long, late Cenozoic Anatolian metallogenic trend of Turkey is the central segment of the western Tethyan metallogenic belt and formed after the closure of the southern Neotethys Ocean. Mineral deposit discoveries along this trend show that the Oligocene to Miocene igneous units are highly prospective for gold-rich porphyry- and epithermal-style mineralization (~27 Moz) but that copper endowment is poor. However, the temporal and spatial constraints on late Cenozoic gold districts and isolated prospects and their tectonic affinity are poorly known, despite recent efforts. We herein provide new U-Pb and Re-Os age data and field observations from Miocene gold prospects and deposits throughout the Anatolian trend, which we interpret together with previously published age data in the region. We define nine new porphyry and epithermal districts: Simav, İzmir, Uşak, Bodrum, Konya, Aksaray, Kayseri, Tunceli, and Ağri. Gold-rich porphyry and epithermal systems peaked at (1) 25 to 17 Ma in eastern Anatolia, (2) 21 to 9 Ma in western Anatolia, and (3) 10 to 3 Ma in central Anatolia. The westward migration of porphyry and epithermal mineralization from eastern to central Anatolia is interpreted to reflect slab break-off propagation and gap opening after the onset of the Arabian continental collision. Conversely, the southwestward migration of the magmatic front and associated mineralization in western Anatolia resulted from the acceleration of the Aegean slab rollback and subsequent lateral tearing (15–8 Ma). Thus, the bulk of gold mineralization formed in response to the slab segmentation and thermal events at 25 and 15 Ma.

Pterocarpus erinaceus is an endemic and threatened plant species in arid and semiarid zones of West Africa and is highly exploited for timber, animal feeding, and various medicinal uses. The species is currently native to the Guinean forest-savannah mosaic ecoregion and reported from Senegal to Cameroon. The values of the main characteristics of the P. erinaceus forest stands (density, average diameter, average height and average stem height) vary significantly (P < 10−3) from the Guinean zone to the Sahelian zone. It has high technological performance and can be classified as heavy and very hard wood with a density of the order of 0.80 ± 0.07 g/cm3 and an average hardness of 12 ± 3.7 g/cm3. The species is the subject of large-scale international traffic between West Africa and Asia, which is by far the greatest threat to the species. The various uses induce repeated mutilation and increase pressures on the species resulting in a significant reduction in its natural populations. In response to this situation, measures are proposed, including large-scale plant production strategies, the definition of minimum felling diameters, policy measures, etc., to meet the restoration needs of natural stands of P. erinaceus and the fight against climate change.

AbstractThe chapter provides an overview of the five general rules of the TNM system. The importance of accurate identification and hence proper classification of cases and tumours has been raised so as to apply appropriate treatments and assessment methods. Examples for each classification as well as other descriptors are enumerated to aid in decision making. As the absence of a primary tumor is also possible, other descriptors have a corresponding coding. Histopathological grading following the WHO recommendation is also presented.
