Authors: ATAYOGLU A.Timucin , SILICI Sibel 
Published: March 2019

Background: Infection can lead to delayed wound healing. Recently it has been shown that propolis which is used in complementary medicine has an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect. The aim of this study is to determine whether propolis may contribute to wound healing.
Material and Methods: Twenty-one male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into three groups. Group1 and Group 2 were topically treated with propolis ointment and Thiocillin® oinment, respectively while Group 3 was the control group. On incision wound model, Thiocillin® and propolis ointments were applied on wound sites once daily for 30 days and the mean epidermal thickness (MET) at the 30th day was compared while antimicrobial activity of propolis was studied against different pathogens as well.
Results: Propolis exhibited in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. It is observed that the MET in the groups of Propolis ointment and Thiocillin® ointment were significantly greater than that of the control group, while the MET in the group of propolis ointment was significantly greater than that of Thiocillin® ointment treated group. Conclusion: Propolis is effective in wound healing. Further study in-depth is necessary to probe into clinical correlation.

Feminist Perspective in Shashi Deshpande's “That Long Silence”
Authors: Ahashan Mohammad , Tiwari Dr. Sapna 
Published: March 2019

Man has always tried to determine and tamper the image of woman and especially her identity is manipulated and orchestrated. Whenever a woman is spoken of, it is always in the relation to man; she is presented as a wife , mother, daughter and even as a lover but never as a woman a human being- a separate entity. Her entire life is idealized and her fundamental rights and especially her behaviour is engineered by the adherents of patriarchal society. Commenting on the Man-woman relationship in a marital bond Simone de Beauvoir wrote in her epoch-making book entitled The Second Sex(1949): "It has been said that marriage diminishes man, which is often true , but almost always it annihilates women". Feminist movement advocates the equal rights and equal opportunities for women. The true spirit of feminism is into look at women and men as human beings. There should not be gender bias or discrimination in familial and social life. To secure gender justice and gender equity is the key aspects of feminist movement. In India, women writers have come forward to voice their feminist approach to life and the patriarchal family set up. They believe that the very notion of gender is not only biotic and biologic episode but it has a social construction.

Published: March 2019

Abstract: The efforts to improve the quality of education in Papua is done through education scholarship program, and one of them is by sending senior high school students in Papua to other regions for education. The movement of the students to other regions forces them to do social adjustments. In this situation, each individual often experiences shocks to the new cultures (culture shock). This research was conducted to empirically test the relationship of culture shock with social adjustment of Papuan students in Magelang. The hypothesis in this study is that there is a negative relationship between culture shock and the social adjustment of Papuan students who migrated to Magelang. The higher the culture shock is experienced, the lower the social adjustment ability is, and vice versa. The results of this study indicate that the proposed hypothesis is proved, that the culture shock is negatively correlated and very significant to social adjustment. The analysis between the culture shocks and social adjustments shows a strong relationship between the four aspects (stress reaction, cognitive fatigue, role shock, and personal shock) in culture shock with social adjustment. Among those four aspects, role shock aspect has the highest correlation coefficient. This shows that this aspect is the most closely related to the social adjustment of Papuan students in Magelang, and the least related is the stress reaction.

Abstract: The use of figurative speech is pervasive in many cultures both in work of literature and day-to-day communication. This specific use of language is one of the many strategies of communication which is imaginative and indirect in nature. Since its meaning is culturally-bounded, then the maning of a particular figurative speech varies from one culture to another. The goals of this paper are a) presenting figurative speeches of animal used in ritual communication, delivered in the local languge, Kambera and then translated into Indonesian; b) explaining the meaning of the figurative speeches in the contexts of Sumbanese culture; c) categorizing the animal metaphors or similes in terms of its positive or negative meanings. Data of ritual couplets are obtained from a library study and interviews with some informatns from eastern Sumba. To understand the meanings of the couplets, the writer conducted interviews and discussion with the informants. The research shows that there are 26 kinds of animal involved in 64 collected couplets. Figurarive speeches using animals generally portray the undesirable traits working against the living norms in the Sumbanese society. They function as a social control over people’s behaviors.
Keywords: figurative speech, ritual language, Eastern Sumba

Abstrak: Penggunaan bahasa kiasan (atau majas) sangat umum dalam banyak kebudayaan, baik dalam dunia kesustraan sastra maupun komunikasi sehari-hari. Bahasa kiasan adalah salah satu strategi komunikasi yang bersifat imaginatif dan tidak langsung yang menggambarkan bagaimana pengguna memahami dunianya. Karena pemaknaannya berkaitan erat dengan konteks budaya orang yang menggunakannya, maka arti bahasa ini bervariasi dari satu budaya ke budaya yang lain. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah a) menghadirkan majas binatang dalam bahasa ritual yang terucap dalam bahasa lisan lokal, Kambera. Bahasa ritual Kambera juga diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Indonesia; b) menguraikan makna bahasa ritual tersebut dalam kaitannya dengan pengambaran realitas kehidupan, dan c), yang berkaitan dengan tujuan kedua, menjelaskan apakah potret manusia melalui majas tersebut berkonotasi positif atau negatif. Data diperoleh melalui convenience sampling dari studi pustaka dan wawancara dengan nara sumber dari Sumba Timur. Pemaknaan majas juga dilakukan melalui wawancara dan diskusi dengan beberapa nara sumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 26 jenis binatang dalam 64 bait ritual yang dikumpulkan. Citra binatang pada umumnya mengambarkan perilaku yang bertentangan dengan tatanan norma atau kepatutan dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Majas binatang dalam bahasa ritual orang Sumba menjadi semacam kontrol sosial terhadap perilaku anggota masyarakatnya.

Modulation transfer function evaluation of cone beam computed and microcomputed tomography by using slanted edge phantom
Authors: BENCE Szabó TAMÁS 
Published: March 2019

Modulation transfer function (MTF) is a well known and widely accepted method for evaluating the spatial resolution of a digital radiographic imaging system. In the present study our aim was to evaluate the MTF obtained from CBCT and micro-CT images. A cylinder shaped phantom designed for slanted-edge method was scanned by a CBCT device at a 100 µm isometric voxel size and by a micro-CT device at a 20 µm isometric voxel size, simultaneously. The MTF curves were calculated and the mean spatial resolutions at 10% MTF were 3.33 + 0.29 lp/mm in the case of CBCT images and 13.35 + 2.47 lp/mm in the case of micro-CT images. The values showed a strong positive correlation regarding the CBCT and the micro-CT spatial resolution values, respectively. Our results suggests that CBCT imaging devices with a voxel size of 100 µm or below might aid the validation of fine anatomical structures and allowing the opportunity for reliable micromorphometric examinations

Concentration and health risk assessment of heavy metals in airborne particles at nusery schools in Ha Noi
Authors: Trinh Tran Dinh , Men Nguyen Thi Thuy 
Published: March 2019

Indoor air quality is increasingly important as people spend more and more time for indoor activities. A sampling campaign was conducted to sample airborne particles at nursery schools in Hanoi in May and June 2018. The sampling strategy was performed during lessons and in absence of children in classrooms. Heavy metals and trace elements (Cu, Pb, Cd, Zn, Ni, As, Mn, Cr, Hg, Fe…) were quantified by using ICP-MS method. Emission sources of heavy metals were estimated using statistical analyses such as factor analysis while cancer risk assessment was conducted using chronic daily intake (CDI) and slop factor (SF). In the presence of children, indoor concentrations of heavy metals and trace elements were within the range from 1,7-3,2 ng/m3 (Cd) to 1588-3238 ng/m3 (Zn), while these corresponding values obtained when the rooms were empty were in the ranges of 0,6-0,9 and 746,2-2011 ng/m3. Indoor/outdoor ratios of studied elements varied from school to school and ranged from 0.25 to 2.88, implying presence of indoor emission sources. The calculated cancer risks ranged from 4.8x10-6 to 5.0x10-4, being hihgher than limit values set by USEPA, implying significant health risk to young children.

Patrimonio, territorio y memoria
Authors: Adames de Newbill Maria De Los Angeles 
Published: March 2019

El Distrito Histórico de Panamá, como oficialmente fue designado por la UNESCO en 1997, ha tenido un proceso de transformaciones desde el punto de vista demográfico, espacial, social y económico. Estas transformaciones han dado como resultado en algunas ocasiones la salvaguarda del patrimonio material pero en otras, ha traído como consecuencia la desaparición del patrimonio inmaterial poniendo en peligro el tejido social del barrio y la pérdida de la memoria colectiva. Procesos como la revitalización, gentrificación y la globalización han contribuido en las transformaciones del barrio.Un aspecto que generalmente pasa desapercibido en la literatura es que el territorio y el patrimonio conllevan con si un simbolismo representado por el sentido de pertenencia y arraigo a estos dos elementos. Es ese sentido de pertenencia y apego al lugar lo que comparten los residentes de un barrio o una comunidad, y que es parte de la construcción de esa memoria colectiva y que pareciera traspasar los límites de tiempo y espacio. Este artículo, basado en mi trabajo de tesis doctoral que cubre el período de 1997 al 2008 con reflexiones de lo que ocurre hoy en el Casco Antiguo tiene como principal objetivo el análisis de estas transformaciones vistas desde el punto de vista de los residentes del área. En el mismo describo brevemente el contexto en el que tuvo origen el Casco Antiguo como parte del tejido urbano que conocemos como ciudad de Panamá. Hoy en día, el Distrito Histórico de Panamá, conocido fundamentalmente como el Casco Antiguo o San Felipe (refiriéndose al vecindario), continúa enfrentando desafíos similares a los estudiados y nuevos desafíos. Esto conlleva a una necesidad de replantear políticas públicas referentes al patrimonio humano y cultural en un área tan importante para la memoria histórica de la nacionalidad panameña y para el turismo patrimonial.
Recognizing Young People’s Civic Engagement Practices: Rethinking Literacy Ontologies through Co-Production
Authors: Pahl Kate Heron 
Published: March 2019

In this article I argue that it is important to find a language to describe youth engagement practices in informal settings. I argue that many young people do not have the resources to be heard on visible platforms, but their work, and meaning making practices might provide important information about their ideas and relay key concepts about how communicational practices are constructed. Drawing on embedded, ethnographic and artistically informed projects with young people in communities, I argue for a deeper kind of listening. Artistic forms such as poetry, visual art, dance and music are important modes of engagement. I draw on cultural practice theory together with theory from new literacy studies and media studies to explore four questions:

How do you craft what you know?
How do you speak/make what you feel?
How do you transform practice?
How do you articulate action?

I see these as components of the process of producing relationally oriented modes of address that others can also engage with. Taken together, they suggest a language of description for the mode that is civic engagement communicational practice, that is, oriented beyond individual experience but drawing from experience to make change happen in relational ways.
The Professional Competencies of Physical Education Teachers from North-Eastern Italy
Authors: Tul Miloš , Leskošek Bojan , Kovač Marjeta 
Published: March 2019

This cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate the self-perceived professional competences of Italian physical education (PE) teachers. For this purpose, a self-administered questionnaire has been designed toexamine a broad scope of general and subject-specific competences. The participants, 484 Italian PE teachers from the north-eastern part of Italy, evaluated their professional competences on a four-level Likert scale. Factor analysis is used for the examination of the internal structure of the competence field. The results show that the self-perception of their competence profile was quite complex, consisting of 13 factors, which togetherexplain 51.1% of the total variance. Didactic approaches, which represent the first factor and explain 31.3% of the total variance, seem to be the most informative for their estimations of how effectively they can teach theirspecific subject. The teachers feel insufficiently competent in some general areas, such as the use of information and communications technology, communication in foreign language, scientific research work, initiative, and entrepreneurial spirit. They do not have sufficient abilities to bring to PE the recent sports activities in which teenagers currently participate in their free time. The outcomes of the present study may aid in the future updating of PE teacher education study programmes and the designing of a creative system of lifelong training programmes.
