Authors: Li Xiaoyan , Xie Hui , Luo Guiling , Niu Yanyan , Li Xiaobao , Xi Yaru , Xiong Yi , Chen Yong , Sun Wei 
Published: November 2018

Background:
Graphene quantum dots (GQD) is a new member of carbon nanomaterial
that has attracted increasing attention owing to its better chemical inertness, low cytotoxicity, large
specific surface area, cheap cost, suitable conductivity and excellent biocompatibility.

Methods:
Electrochemical behaviors of this modified electrode were studied by cyclic voltammetry
and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Electrochemical investigations of Nafion/Hb/GQD/
CILE were carried out with electrochemical parameters calculated.

Results:
In the phosphate buffer solution with a pH value of 5.0, good linear relationships between
the catalytic reduction current and the concentration of substrate were got for TCA (6.0~100.0
mmol·L-1), NaNO2 (2.0~12.0 mmol·L-1) and H2O2 (6.0~30.0 mmol·L-1). The proposed method was
applied to NaNO2 concentration detection in soak water from picked vegetables with satisfactory results.

Conclusion:
This Nafion/Hb/GQD/CILE had a good bioelectrocatalytic activity to different substrates
such as trichloroacetic acid, NaNO2 and H2O2 reduction with the advantages including wide
detection range, low detection limit and good stability. Therefore, the application of GQD in electrochemical
sensor was extended in this paper.

Os Livros do Coração: uma análise dos romances sentimentais do Século XX
Authors: Andrade Roberta Manuela Barros de , Silva Erotilde Honório 
Published: November 2018

A literatura de massa é um objeto privilegiado para a análise
dos valores sociais que circundam as sociedades contemporâneas. Entrementes,
apesar de sua óbvia importância, poucos estudos têm se dedicado
à sua compreensão. Esse desprezo acadêmico é expresso pelo antagonismo entre gêneros literários considerados nobres e uma literatura popular menor, basicamente centrada na oralidade. Este artigo se propõe a fazer uma análise de discurso dos romances sentimentais da "Coleção da Biblioteca das Moças' publicados entre os anos de 40 e 60 do século XX, em especial, os romances assinados por M. Dell)', comparando com seus herdeiros, a coleção "Romances do coraçào' identificada por suas séries, Júlia, Sabrina e 13/anca,
publicadas nos anos 80 do mesmo século. Apesar da "coleção Romances
do corarão" perdurar até hoje, escolhemos esta época específica porque retrata
o seu aparecimento no Brasil, quando se forma a sua sociedade leitora.

H-solvability of optimal control problem for degenerate parabolic variation inequality
Authors: Kasimova Nina Vasylivna 
Published: November 2018

We consider the optimal control problem for degenerate parabolic variation inequality with weight function of potential type that is in differential operator. Using the direct method of calculus of variations we prove the solvability of mentioned above optimal control problem in the class of so-called H-admissible solutions. It is also established that the set of H-admissible pairs is closed in the product of topologies of the state space and the control space.
Selective model-predictive control for flocking systems
Authors: Albi Giacomo , Pareschi Lorenzo 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
In this paper the optimal control of alignment models composed by a large number of agents is investigated in presence of a selective action of a controller, acting in order to enhance consensus. Two types of selective controls have been presented: an homogeneous control filtered by a selective function and a distributed control active only on a selective set. As a first step toward a reduction of computational cost, we introduce a model predictive control (MPC) approximation by deriving a numerical scheme with a feedback selective constrained dynamics. Next, in order to cope with the numerical solution of a large number of interacting agents, we derive the mean-field limit of the feedback selective constrained dynamics, which eventually will be solved numerically by means of a stochastic algorithm, able to simulate effciently the selective constrained dynamics. Finally, several numerical simulations are reported to show the effciency of the proposed techniques.
African Folklore for Critical Self-reflection, Reflective Dialogue, and Resultant Attitudinal and Behaviour Change: University Studentsâ€™ Experiences
Authors: Buthelezi Thabisile Makhosazana , Agbomeji Ayinde Mojeed , Cele Rejoice Gugu Lindiwe 
Published: November 2018

Â This article reports on the findings of a study, which included 154 participating university students from diverse cultural backgrounds. Qualitative data obtained from the participants were thematically analysed, using analytical induction and drawing from Mezirowâ€™s transformative learning theory. The findings showed that African folklore provides knowledge that includes cultural, folklore and morality knowledge, which is integrated with values. This knowledge is packaged, arranged and transmitted in particular ways that enable the learner or young person to engage in self-reflection, reflective dialogue, and reflective action. We argue that African folklore in itself is a pedagogical strategy that integrates knowledge and values with entertainment elements that expose the young people to life through a transformative phase, which encompasses psychological, convictional and life-style adaptation processes. In these processes, both the nature of knowledge and the ways in which the knowledge is communicated constitute an African folklore approach to education that when used and reinforced, ultimately leads to lasting positive attitudinal and behaviour changes in young people. We therefore, recommend that further research be conducted to explore the use of African folklore as a teaching and learning strategy in formal school settings, particularly in life-skills education, with the aim of achieving lasting positive attitudinal and behaviour changes in young people.
Women and Traditional Governance Systems: A Case of Vukuzenzele Village, Mzingwane District, Zimbabwe
Authors: Nkala Gugulethu Sharmaine , Khumalo Njabulo Bruce , Baloyi Charity 
Published: November 2018

In much of rural sub-Saharan Africa, women in traditional patrilineal systems are generally subordinated to men, thus endangering gender equality. Women born and nurtured in such systems are relegated to second-class citizenship, are inferior to men, and are excluded from collective decision-making, as they are presumed to be represented by husbands and fathers. In the past decade, however, womenâ€™s visibility and influence has increased. As women have begun to participate in political issues, discussions around gender equality have cut across various sectors, including governance. This article seeks to identify whether traditional governance systems are beginning to take gender issues into consideration in their organisation and composition. It also seeks to bring to light and document opinions of women living in rural Vukuzenzele Village on issues relating to traditional governance. Through interviewing traditional leaders and women in the community, this study sought to answer the questions: (1) Do women have roles and responsibilities similar to male counterparts in traditional governance systems? (2) Do cultural attitudes still impact on gender roles? (3) How are cases and disputes involving women treated within the system? (4) How is the traditional governance system, in this case, affected by democracy or gender equality advocacy?Â Â
Village Savings and Loan Associations Schemes: Contributions to Peace
Authors: Chivasa Norman 
Published: November 2018

This study is an appreciation of the contributions of the Village Savings and Loan Associations scheme to peace between its members and the community. It seeks to demonstrate, by means of specific examples of existing groups of the village savings and associations (Mukando) scheme in wardÂ 8 of the Seke district, Mashonaland East province, Zimbabwe, that although the scheme helps to fight poverty and financial vulnerability among the poor people, it promotes peace as well. The study revealed that the key elements, namely social capital, friendships, social relationships, coexistence and tolerance, on which the scheme is anchored, are major factors that contribute to peace. It also emerged that the creation of the scheme increases the capacities of its members to access supportive networks, befriend each other and coexist in a tolerant way, thus, helping to foster factors that promote peace between members within the community. Therefore, reproducing the Mukando scheme could imply building more stable households and communities.

MODELLING THE NUMBER OF NEW PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS CASES WITH GEOGRAPHICALLY WEIGHTED NEGATIVE BINOMIAL REGRESSION METHOD
Authors: Mumtaz Tsuraya , Utomo Agung Priyo 
Published: November 2018

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. Untill now, TB is still one of the main problems in many countries, especially developing countries. Indonesia ranked second as the country with the highest TB cases in the world in 2015, where most cases were found in Java. This study was conducted to model the number of new pulmonary TB cases in Java by considering the spatial aspects using Geographically Weighted Negative Binomial Regression (GWNBR). GWNBR method was chosen because the data used in this study are overdispered. The result showed that the population density and percentage of healty homes were not significantly influential in each region. While the number of puskesmas, the percentage of smokers, the percentage of good PHBS, the percentage of diabetes mellitus, and the percentage of less IMT were significant in some regions. In general, the GWNBR model was better for modelling the number of new pulmonary TB cases than negative binomial regression and GWPR.

Published: November 2018

Manusia pada dasarnya tidak bisa melepaskan diri dari masa lalu yang melahirkan (tata) nilai dan pemikiran yang diturunkan secara terus-menerus tanpa atau dengan sedikit sekali mengalami perubahan atau dengan kata lain kebiasaan yang sudah menjadi adat dan membudaya. Paham yang semacam ini disebut sebagai tradisionalisme. Ditengarai, tradisionalisme juga ada dalam arsitektur sebagai produk budaya manusia. Gorontalo sebagai kota yang tumbuh pesat selama masa kolonial Belanda menyimpan sejumlah bangunan yang berasal dari masa itu. Bangunan kolonial Belanda juga merupakan bangunan yang tercipta dari kebudayaan bangsa Belanda, baik secara murni, maupun yang sudah dipadukan dengan budaya tradisional, dan kondisi lingkungan sekitarnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pengaruh tradisionalisme dalam arsitektur kolonial Belanda di Kota Gorontalo memang benar-benar ada. Pengaruh tersebut bisa ditemukan dalam hal desain bentuk denah, bentuk bangunan, bentuk atap, bentuk bukaan dan penggunaan ornament pada bangunan

Authors: Qiu Jinxing , Pei Cuixiang , Liu Haochen , Chen Zhenmao 
Published: November 2018

The laser array spots thermography (LAST) is a new fully non-contact and non-destructive method for inspection of surface cracks. In this study, the capability of this method for inspection of surface crack in specimen at elevated temperature is investigated. The temperature distributions in a specimen at different initial temperature are calculated through simulation and measured through experiment, respectively. Both the simulation and experimental results show that the background noise in the temperature distribution will be increased when the initial temperature of the specimen is enlarged. However, with the aid of an image processing method, the surface cracks in the specimen with initial temperature from 303 K to 573 K are successfully detected by using the LAST method.

Authors: Markvardsen Lars K. , Carstens Anne-Kathrine R. , Knak Kirsten L. , Overgaard Kristian , Vissing John , Andersen Henning 
Published: November 2018

Background: We have previously shown that patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) improve muscle strength and aerobic capacity after resistance and aerobic exercise. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if muscle strength and aerobic capacity are preserved one year after discontinuation of regular exercise. Methods: All patients in the previous exercise study were eligible for a one-year follow-up with measurement of combined isokinetic muscle strength (cIKS) by dynamometry and maximal oxygen consumption velocity (VO2-max). Data are presented as median (ranges). Results: Ten of 17 patients accepted to participate in the follow-up study. Following the exercise study six patients discontinued exercise and at one-year follow-up cIKS had decreased by –13.0 % (–25.8 to –2.9) ( p = 0.03) and VO2-max by –16.6 % (–18.8 to –12.6) ( p = 0.06). Four patients continued exercise (three with aerobic training and one with resistance training) and at one-year follow-up cIKS and VO2-max were preserved compared to the end of the exercise study (11.6 % (–8.9 to 32.1) ( p = 0.88) and –8.4 % (–34.5 to –2.2) ( p = 0.13), respectively). Conclusions: Continuation of aerobic and resistance exercise may preserve gains in muscle strength and aerobic capacity in patients with CIDP.
