Modernization of Family Values and Norms Among Armenians in Sydney
Authors: Kirkland James R. 
Published: April 2019

The process of modernization occurs simultaneously at the social structural and the individual-cultural levels in a society. With respect to the latter the principal arena of, as well as the main bulwark against such change is the family, where changes in values, norms and attitudes involve a shift from the more traditional to the more modern. An examination of the degree and direction of these changes allows for a determination of the level of modernization reached and the factors most strongly influencing this process. In this paper the author examines the maintenance of and changes in the traditional structure and values of first generation Armenian immigrant families in Sydney, Australia taking the traditional Armenian family as the point of departure and the contemporary Australian family as the modernized’ end point, an attempt is made to show what and how changes in traditional family values and structure have occurred both prior to migration and since arrival in Australia, and thus the level of modernization reached by these immigrants. In particular, an examination is made of: family type, composition, and household structure; the relationship of children and parents; decision-making within the family; the relationship of husbands and wives. The principal findings of this study indicate that most changes in traditional values occurred prior to migration to Australia, although changes are continuing in Australia which are leading to convergence of Armenian and Australian family values. Consequently, the degree to which Armenians can be considered to be modernized today is attributed not so much to the effects of living in Australia as to the extent their values converged’ with those of Australian society at time of arrival.
Race, Class and Child Maltreatment
Authors: Hampton Robert L. 
Published: April 2019

Data from the National Study of the Incidence and Severity of Child Abuse and Neglect are used to examine ethnic differences within a population of substantiated cases of child maltreatment. The results provide support for socioeconomic and demographic factor differences among Black, Whites, and Hispanics as suggested by previous investigators. In general, Black maltreating families were poorer, more likely to be on public assistance and in father absent households. Physical neglect was the most frequently diagnosed form of maltreatment. Differential patterns for the type of maltreatment and factors associated with maltreatment were observed when income was controlled. Among lower income families, rates of physical abuse were similar, however, Blacks had the highest rates for physical abuse in the higher income categories. Implications for conceptual models and for service delivery programs are discussed.
Women in Transition: The Case of Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alsuwaigh Siham A. 
Published: April 2019

This research investigates the impact of socio-economic changes on the traditional role of women in Saudi Arabia. A descriptive-comparative study was conducted using sixty-two women and their daughters, representing two generations and three economic groups all living in an urban community of Dammam. The information obtained from older women who had lived in Arabia prior to its oil boom supplied the baseline date for the comparison with young generation women, born and living in Arabia following the discovery of oil. The study found major social and cultural changes reflected in family structure and marriage styles, as well as in the rising number of educated women. Despite these changes, however, no significant modification in the traditional role of women was observed. This is believed to be because employment opportunities for women in the modem sectors of the economy remain extremely limited while the traditional economic contributions of women have become undervalued.
Why They Fail: A Socio-Historical Analysis of Religious and Secular Communes
Authors: Kephart William M. 
Published: April 2019

In spite of recurrent attempts to establish alternative family life-styles in America, most of the ventures have failed. The 19th century experiments tended to have a religious base, exemplified by Bethel, Amana, Oneida, and the Shakers. Twentieth century communes - which for the most part started to flourish in the late 1960’s - may be either religious or secular. But irrespective of the century, and irrespective of the type, one of the characteristic features of American communes is their propensity for failure. The chief causes of failure appear to be economic fragility, defective leadership, inadequate social organization, lack of commitment, aberrant membership, failure to satisfy primary group needs, and difficulty in the realm of child-rearing. Supporting evidence - based on personal interviews - is presented. It is hypothesized that if a specific communal-organizational problem is found to exist in both 19th century and 20th century communes, and in both religious and non-religious communes, then the problem may be endemic to American communal culture.
Qualities of Desired Spouse: A Cross-Cultural Comparison Between French and American College Students
Authors: Murstein Bernard I. 
Published: April 2019

Through factor analyses, the nine most potent dimensions of marital expectation for an American and a French college sample were obtained. A comparison of the factorial structure of American and French men showed moderate to high similarity. The American and French women also showed dimensional similarity though there was greater divergence in the variance accounted for by similarly labeled factors. The item by item comparison between the two samples put the differences between them into sharper relief. Compared to the American men, the French men wanted a wife who was sexier, and higher on aggression, pragmatism, egalitarianism, and social adequacy. Moreover, she would be less idealized, conventional, and respectful to authority. The differences between French women and American women were almost identical to the differences found between the two male samples. Because of the differences in the nature of the sampling, generalization was eschewed pending further data.

Published: April 2019

AbstractThe present research investigated the tribological and the thermal properties of Mg-3Al-xGNP alloy nanocomposites, fabricated through a powder metallurgy route with microwave assisted sintering followed by hot extrusion. Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were incorporated as reinforcements in different amounts (0.1 wt.%, 0.3 wt.%, and 0.5 wt.%) into pure Mg and Mg-3Al alloy. The values of coefficient of friction and wear rate of pure Mg, Mg-3Al alloy, and Mg-3Al/xGNPs (x = 0.1 wt.%, 0.3 wt.%, and 0.5 wt.%) nanocomposites were evaluated on a pin-on-disc tribometer under dry sliding conditions, and scratch testing was performed under a vertical load of 9.8 N. The ignition temperatures of Mg-3Al-0.1GNP, Mg-3Al-0.3GNP, and Mg-3Al-0.5GNP were respectively increased by 2.31 %, 5.34 %, and 5.7 %. It was noticed that the reinforcement of 0.3 wt.% GNP yielded the best mechanical and tribological properties.

Published: April 2019

The nutrient profile of five freshwater fish species viz., Mystus vittatus, Ompok bimaculatus, Channa striata, Wallago attu and Pangasianodon hypophthalmus were studied. The proximate composition data shows that the moisture and fat content differed significantly (P<0.01) among the fish species. The fat content was significantly higher in P. hypophthalmus and M. vittatus. The moisture was significantly higher in C. striata. The potassium content was significantly (p<0.01) higher in C.striata. M.vittatus shows higher content of calcium. The other trace minerals like iron, copper and zinc contents of fish did not differ significantly among the species. The vitamin A content is maximum in O.bimaculatus whereas vitamin D content is higher in Mystus vittatus. The palmitic acid was significantly (p<0.01) higher in M. vittatus. The oleic acid was significantly (p<0.01) higher in C. striata and W. attu. The linoleic acid content was significantly (p<0.05) higher in P. hypophthalmus. One of the important PUFA i.e. DHA was significantly higher in O. bimaculatus and C.striata. The PUFA content was significantly (p<0.05) higher in O.bimaculatus and P.hypophthalmus. Among the amino acids, arginine, histidine, threonine and isoleucine were higher in P.hypophthalmus. C.striata and W. attu contain high amount of Tryptophan. Glutamic acid was high in O.bimaculatus and Aspartic acid was high in C. striata. The energy content was maximum in P. hypophthalmus. The nutrient profile of these fish species revealed that they were rich in all the essential nutrients required by human being. The information on nutrient profile of fish will give a guideline to dieticians, nutritionists, medical practitioners, researchers to advice consumers to take fish in their daily diet as a health food.

Authors: Khan MMH 
Published: April 2019

The research was carried out to know the abundance and damage severity of mealybug on sarupkathi variety of guava and to evaluate the efficacy of jet powder and Fighter 2.5EC for suppressing populations of mealybug during January to October 2014. Results revealed that the highest number of guava mealybug was observed on middle leaf (42/leaf) while the lowest number was on lower leaf (13/leaf). The highest percent leaf area covered by mealybug was found on middle leaf (78%) while the lowest was on fruit (18%). Maximum temperature and relative humidity had a positive correlation on the mealybug population while the rainfall showed a negative correlation. The highest percent mortality was observed in T2 treatment (Jet powder applied @ 5.0 g L-1 of water) at 24 HAT (hours after treatment) (86.05%) and 48 HAT (93.83%), respectively. At 72 HAT, the highest percent mortality was observed T3 treatment (Jet powder applied @ 7.5 g L-1 of water). In case of insecticidal control, the highest percent mortality was observed in T2 (100%) and T3 (100%) treatments, respectively followed by T1 (98.03%) at 24 HAT. Similar trends were also observed among all treatments at 48 HAT and 72 HAT, respectively. No significant differences were found among three doses of Fighter 2.5EC. The lowest percent mortality of mealybug population was found in T4 (Water spray forcibly) at 24 HAT, 48 HAT and 72 HAT, respectively. No mortality was recorded in untreated control at different HAT in both application of soap solution and insecticides.

Published: April 2019

Aggregate sheath spot disease of rice caused by Rhizoctonia oryzaesativae has emerged in higher incidence in North-Western region of Bangladesh. Thirty isolates of R. oryzae-sativae were studied by using morphological and molecular marker. Isolates were confirmed using specific primer where a single band of 1200bp was amplified. Two distinct groups relatively slow and faster were found in mycelal growth. Molecular characterization was done using four primers and DNA band ranged from 0.25 to 2.21 kb. A combined dendrogram was constructed which separated the isolates into three groups at 69.6% similarity level. All isolates placed in two major clusters except isolate RA-1 placed in cluster group III but were not grouped according to their geographic origins. Fast growing isolates have been placed in Group II while slow growing isolates in cluster group I. The similarity coefficient values of the dendrogram profile ranged from 0.36 to 0.98 with an average of 0.67. Diversity of different isolate showed that significant variation was present among the isolate and were not genetically identical.

Authors: Rahman MH , Ahmed MW , Islam MN 
Published: April 2019

The study was concerned with determining the drying kinetics and sorption behavior of two varieties ripe banana of Bangladesh namely, Sagor and Sabri. The fresh ripe banana collected from the local market were sliced into three different thicknesses (4 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm) and dried at 45°C, 55°C and 65°C in a cabinet dryer. The result showed that the drying rate increases with the increase in temperature and decreases with the increase in slice thickness. The sorption properties of dried banana were studied over a wide range of water activity (0.11-0.93). The BET and GAB models were fitted to the sorption data. It was found that both varieties gave sigmoid (type II) shape isotherm and GAB equation gave the much higher value of monolayer moisture content compared to BET equation. The chemical compositions of fresh and dried banana were determined. The dried products gave substantially higher solid content as well as protein, ash and carbohydrate.

IMPROVING THE TECHNOLOGY OF CONSTRUCTION AND TECHNICAL EXPERTISE USING A HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE COMPLEX OF AUTOMATED INSPECTION
Authors: Наумов А. , Naumov Andrey , Юдин Д. , Yudin D. , Долженко А. , Dolzhenko Aleksandr 
Published: April 2019

In the construction and technical expertise of buildings, inspection is an important and crucial part in the conclusions about the technical condition of the object. It is carried out visually and instrumentally with the interpretation of results by subjective expert methods. The current performance standard of construction and technical inspection has several disadvantages: essential schematics of collection algorithms, simplified diagnostics and coarsening of the analysis of field research results for geometrically extended or constructively complex real estate objects, which are caused by negative influence of human factors on the process of inspection , weather conditions, inaccessibility of the object, low information culture of documenting and archiving survey results. This complicates the dynamic monitoring of the object and is characterized by significant increase in the cost and timing of the repair work due to the delayed diagnosis of defects and the selectivity of the scope of expert research.
The proposed system is designed to improve the reliability, objectivity, unification of approaches and information flows associated with the construction and technical expertise of buildings and structures. It is based on photo and video filming of long and hard to reach surfaces of buildings and structures using unmanned aerial vehicles with subsequent automated processing of the material obtained, its intellectual analysis, automated recognition, classification, quantification of installed defects; as well as innovative technology for documenting and automating the adoption of rational organizational and technological decisions in the practice of technical operation and monitoring of the functional reliability of the surveyed real estate.
