Authors: Feinstein Max M. , Niforatos Joshua D. , Mosteller Lauretta , Chelnick David , Raza Syed , Otteson Todd 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT

Background
Residency program prestige is an important variable medical students consider when creating their rank list. Doximity Residency Navigator is a ranking system that previous reports have shown significantly influences medical student application decisions. Doximity's use of peer nomination as a central component of its methodology for determining program rank has drawn criticism for its lack of objectivity. Doximity has not published information regarding how peer nomination and more objective measures are statistically weighted in reputation calculation.

Objective
This study assesses whether a strong negative correlation exists between residency program size and Doximity ranking.

Methods
A cross-sectional study of Doximity residency rankings from the 2018–2019 academic year was conducted. Data extracted from Doximity included program rank, size, and age. Data were additionally collected from the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research, National Institutes of Health, funding in 2018 and the US News & World Report Best Medical Schools 2019–2020. A multivariable linear regression model was used that included Doximity ranking as the outcome variable and residency program size as the predictor variable with adjustment for the aforementioned variables.

Results
Sixteen of the 28 specialties on Doximity were included in the analysis, representing 3388 unique residency programs. After adjustment for covariates, residency program size was a significant predictor of Doximity ranking (β = -1.84; 95% CI -2.01 to -1.66, P &lt; .001).

Conclusions
These findings support the critique that the Doximity reputation ranking system may favor larger residency programs. More transparency for Doximity reputation ranking algorithm is warranted.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF GLYCIDYL METHACRYLATE–GRAFTED EPDM THROUGH MELT FREE-RADICAL PROCESS
Authors: Alidadi-Shamsabadi Marzie , Arefazar Ahmad , Shokoohi Shirin 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT
Melt free-radical grafting reactions between EPDM and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) were investigated in the presence or absence of styrene (St) comonomer in a batch mixer (170 °C, 60 rpm). The effects of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) initiator, GMA, and St concentrations were studied on the grafted EPDM characteristics. Torque–time profiles detected the grafting process by a melt viscosity rise. Titration results indicated an increase in the graft degree (GD) and gel content (GC) values with increasing of the DCP concentration. Introduction of St led to a 132% increase in GD and a 39% decrease in GC by preventing macroradicals from crosslinking side-reaction. Glass-transition temperatures of all samples increased compared with the pure EPDM due to the increase in GC. The increase was greater in the samples containing comonomer because of the stronger intermolecular interactions. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy spectra and contact-angle measurements confirmed that GMA was grafted onto EPDM. A calibration curve was developed as a criterion to predict the GD in melt free-radical process.
One or Several Gamelan? Perpetual (Re)construction in the Life of a BalineseGamelan Semara Pagulingan
Authors: Yamin Tyler 
Published: September 2019

AbstractAfter a century of modification, the gamelan semara pagulingan of Kamasan village, Bali, scarcely resembles its original form, and many of its discarded components have been incorporated into other gamelan. Its undeniable continuity, therefore, must be defined by different criteria. In this article, I propose an approach to the lives of musical instruments predicated not upon material or sonic taxonomies, which are ill-equipped to account for the gamelan’s perpetual transformation, but rather on its condition as a nonhuman person. I argue that as a living subject its construction is never finished but instead unfolds over the course of its life as an ongoing process.Abstrak. Setelah mengalami perubahan selama satu abad, seperangkat gamelan semara pagulingan dari desa Kamasan, Bali, hampir tidak menyerupai bentuk aslinya, dan banyak bagian gamelan yang sudah usang digabungkan dalam perangkat gamelan lainnya. Oleh karena itu, kepribadiaan gamelan asli, yang tetap ajek, harus ditentukan melalui kriteria yang berbeda. Dalam artikel ini, saya mengusulkan metode baru untuk memahami riwayat hidup alat musik tertentu yang tidak didasarkan pada sistem penggolongan baik bentuk fisik maupun suara, yang tidak dapat menjelaskan perubahan gamelan yang terusmenerus. Melainkan, saya menyarankan bahwa sebagai pelaku yang hidup, pembuatannya tidak akan pernah berakhir, tetapi sebaliknya, berlanjut selama hidupnya sebagai proses yang tidak henti-hentinya.
Voice, Age, and Islamic Practice in the Life of the Indonesian Keroncong Vocalist Waldjinah
Authors: Skelchy Russell P. 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
This article examines Waldjinah, Indonesia’s most renowned keroncong vocalist, as a cultural symbol of “Indonesianness.” I explore how changes in her spiritual life, namely, her Islamic faith, have paralleled broader processes of Islamization and changing attitudes about what constitutes a moral and devout Muslim. Waldjinah also faces the reality that her iconic voice—an expression of her identity and an entire genre—has changed significantly in recent years due to age and ill-health. I explore how she has addressed these changes, which have also created uncertainties in her career and other areas of life, by invoking her Islamic faith.
Pendahuluan. Artikel ini membahas penyanyi keroncong Indonesia yang paling terkenal yaitu Waldjinah sebagai simbol budaya “keindonesiaan.” Saya mengeksplorasi bagaimana perubahan dalam kehidupan spiritualnya, yaitu keyakinan Islamnya, telah menyejajarkan proses Islamisasi yang lebih luas dan mengubah sikap tentang apa yang merupakan seorang Muslim yang bermoral dan saleh. Waldjinah juga menghadapi kenyataan bahwa suara ikoniknya yang ekspresi identitasnya dan juga seluruh genre musik keroncong telah berubah secara signifikan dalam beberapa tahun terakhir karena usia dan kesehatan yang buruk. Saya menjelaskan bagaimana dia mengatasi perubahan ini yang juga menciptakan ketidakpastian dalam kariernya dan bidang kehidupan lainnya dengan memohon keyakinan Islamnya.

The Decatur Plan: Folklore, Historic Preservation, and the Black Experience in Gentrifying Spaces
Authors: Rotenstein David S. 
Published: September 2019

AbstractThis article explores the connections between oral traditions, belief, and material culture in the context of gentrification and historic preservation policy in African American communities, using Decatur, Georgia, as a case study. The Decatur example illustrates how history and historic preservation are produced in North American communities of color, framed by the communities within the contemporary legend known as “The Plan.” The Plan offers people living in gentrifying communities a means to make sense of the unexplainable: the loss of familiar people, buildings, ways of life, and history to gentrification.
On Educating Patrons On Privacy And Maximizing Library Resources
Authors: Lamanna Thomas 
Published: September 2019

Libraries are one of our most valuable institutions. They cater to people of all demographics and provide services to patrons they wouldn’t be able to get anywhere else. The list of services libraries provide is extensive and comprehensive, although unfortunately, there are significant gaps in what our services can offer, particularly those regarding technology advancement and patron privacy. Though library classes on educating patrons’ privacy protection are a valiant effort, we can do so much more and lead the way, maybe not for the privacy industry but for our communities and patrons. Creating a strong foundational knowledge will help patrons leverage these new skills in their day to day lives as well as help them educate their families about common privacy issues. In this column, we’ll explore some of the ways libraries can utilize their current resources as well as provide ideas on how we can maximize their effectiveness and roll new technologies into their operations.
Prix libre et consommation socialement responsable : application du modèle « Fixez votre propre prix » à une ressourcerie
Authors: Lacour Jean-Pierre , Lacour Hugo 
Published: September 2019

Cette recherche porte sur la mise en place d’un système de prix libre du type « Fixez votre propre prix » dans une ressourcerie associative qui vend des matériaux et de l’outillage (matériauthèque). Le principe est le suivant : l’acheteur décide du prix à payer en respectant un prix seuil dont il n’a pas connaissance. Ce système de prix correspond à la volonté de la ressourcerie de permettre au plus grand nombre d’accéder à son offre, chacun payant en fonction de ses moyens. Cette étude vise à évaluer la capacité des acheteurs à fixer un prix qui respecte les valeurs de la consommation socialement responsable (CSR). Nos résultats montrent qu’en moyenne les acheteurs de la ressourcerie respectent les prix seuil et les prix indicatifs. Cependant le contexte de CSR ne les pousse pas à proposer un prix correspondant à une proportion plus forte de leur prix de référence. Ils ont aussi tendance à proposer des prix plus bas pour les produits de forte valeur que pour les produits de faible valeur..
Undesirable immigrants: hobbyist vivaria as a potential source of alien invertebrate species

Published: September 2019

BackgroundSmall size and large diversity of adaptations make invertebrates a group of animals which can be easily transported by different human activities. Many species can travel as “hitchhikers” with plant material (both on plant surfaces and in the soil), including plants used for decoration in vivaria. Vivaria are often tropical in nature environments, with high temperatures and humidity, suitable for invertebrates from tropical regions. Although many of such invertebrates cannot survive in temperate regions where harsh weather conditions are present, it is also known that some can successfully acclimatise. As a result, their negative impact on local flora and fauna cannot be excluded.Material and methodsTerrestrial invertebrates were collected in several cities of Poland from tropical vivaria where poison dart frogs (Dendrobatidae) and/or orchids (Orchidaceae) were kept by hobbyists. Collecting of the material was preceded by a simple questionnaire placed on the biggest Polish forum devoted to poison dart frogs. Moreover, we contacted some Polish wholesalers offering tropical invertebrates (Isopoda and Collembola), used as the food source for frogs, hoping to receive information about locations where those invertebrates were delivered, over the period of one year. We obtained mtDNA barcodes using the COI marker (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene) for seven potential morphospecies.ResultsIn total, 12 taxa classified as Turbellaria, Annelida, Gastropoda, Isopoda, Diplopoda, Chilopoda and Collembola were collected and preserved in pure ethanol. We collected material and/or information from 65 locations, including 56 cities to which exotic isopods and springtails were sold by wholesalers over the period of nine months (average number per month = 18 cities). We obtained 18 COI sequences which were assigned to seven BINs and thus confirmed identification of seven species. The results indicate that the number of species transported with exotic plants is not small and can be observed regularly. Species noted as “hitchhikers” on plant structures and/or as inhabitants of soil in plant pots, originally came from South and Central America, Africa, Asia and possibly from North America or Southern Europe. Three taxa were noted for the first time from Poland, includingRhynchodemus sylvaticus(Rhynchodemidae),Trichorhinasp.1 (Platharthridae), andGuppya gundlachi(Euconulidae).DiscussionThe presented study clearly shows that an exotic hobby such as keeping tropical poison dart frogs and/or orchids may promote fast and uncontrolled dispersion of a high number of invertebrates classified in different taxonomical groups. Plant material (green elements of plants and the soil in which they are planted) used in vivaria can be an important source of such animals.

New Rice of Africa (NERICA) is drought tolerant and early maturing inter specific rice variety which was introduced in Bangladesh from Uganda in 2009. But the field record of NERICA was not very promising. In order to develop NERICA varieties suitable for agro-climatic conditions of Bangladesh different variations in yield contributing characters are required.In the experiment, physical mutagen treated (250, 300 and 350 Gy Gamma-rays) 18 NERICA mutant lines were selected from M4 to M5 generations along with 3 parents (NERICA-1, NERICA-4, NERICA-10) for morphological and molecular evaluation in orderto identify desired mutant linesusing 12 yield attributing characters and 3 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. We also estimated heritability, genetic advance and correlation among the studied morphological traits to identify besttraits based on which further selection could be made. Pearson’s correlation co-efficient of 12 morphological traits indicated that yield per plant had significant positive correlation with the number of tiller, number of effective tiller, panicle length, number of filled grainsper panicle and 1000 grain weight but negative correlation with Plant height and days to maturity. Broad sense heritability ( ) ranged from 71% to 99% while genetic advances in percent mean (GA%) varied from 10% to 60%. Yield per plant, unfilled grains per panicle, number of total tiller, number of effective tiller showed high heritability along with genetic advance as percent of the mean (GA%) value. A total of 24 alleles were detected by 3 SSR markers. The mean gene diversity and Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) values was 0.821 and 0.797, respectively. Dendrogram constructed based on SSR markers clustered the genotypes into six distinct clusters. Combining molecular and morphological evaluation data eight mutant lines, N10/300/P-2-3-5, N10/300/P-2-3-5, N10/300/P-2-3-5-2, N1/300/P-2-3-5, N1/300/P-2-3-5, N1/250/P-7-6-4-1, N10/300/P-2(1)-4-1 and N1/250/P-7-3-7-1were selected as desired mutant lines having good yield attributing characters and could be recommended for further evaluation in rice breeding program.
Trade Openness and Economic Growth of Tanzania

Published: September 2019

Trade openness is very crucial in the achievement of any rapid economic take off for any country. Realizing that in 1996, Tanzania government initiated economic recovery program to address the economic problem. One among them was Trade liberalization implementation. This paper examines the impact of trade openness on economic growth in Tanzania for the period 1981 to 2017. The study utilized co-integration and Vector Error Correction Mechanism (VECM) Approach to test the relationship between trade openness and economic growth and granger causality test to examine the causal relationship between variable. The unit root tests showed that all variables were integrated after taking first difference, the Johansen co-integration result showed that the variables were co-integrated. The VECM estimate showed that there is positive long run relationship between trade openness and economic growth in Tanzania over the study period, this positive result of trade openness is possibly attributable to the fact that Tanzania unlocked its borders to international trades. In addition, granger causality test revealed that, there is no causal relationship between Trade openness and economic growth in Tanzania. Based on these findings, this study recommended that Government should encourage the production of domestic products for export purpose by developing more domestic industries and attracts more investors in the economy which will lead to increase the per capita income as well as foreign earnings that will promote economic growth of Tanzania.

Authors: Bankole O. O. , Oluwaranti A. , Awosanmi F. E. 
Published: September 2019

Aims: The objectives of this study were to evaluate maize genotypes of different maturity groups for seedling and grain filling water use efficiency and determine relationship that exist between the water use efficiency traits and yield of different maize maturity groups.
Study Design: Sixteen maize genotypes were planted in Randomized Complete Block Design in three replicates for emergence, vegetative, water use efficiency traits at the seedling and grain-filling growth stages and yield.
Place and Duration of Study: The sixteen maize genotypes of different maturity groups were evaluated during the early and late cropping seasons of 2016 at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching and Research Farm, Ile-Ife, Nigeria
Methodology: Data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), correlation analysis among water use efficiency traits and yield for each of the maturity groups.
Results: There was no significant difference among the genotypes within each maturity groups for water use efficiency at seedling and grain filling growth stages.
The late maturity group of maize used more water at the seedling growth stage than the other maturity groups in the early season of this study while in the late season, the early and extra-early maturity groups used more water than the other maturity groups. Increase in emergence percentage, reduction in speed of germination, and minimal days to complete germination increased water use efficiency at the seedling stage only during the early cropping season.
Efficiency of water usage at the seedling growth stage was more among the late and intermediate maturing groups than the extra-early and early maturing groups in the early season while in the late season, the extra-early and early maturing groups used water more efficiently than the late and Intermediate maturing groups
Conclusion: Maturity group played a significant role in the expression and manifestation of water use efficiency traits under different environmental conditions.

Published: September 2019

Introduction: The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Lam.), is one of the root and tuber crops grown from low land to high land region of Ethiopia. However, its productivity depends on adaptability and tolerance to different environmental stresses and the capacity of the crop to enhance water use efficiency under moisture stress conditions. The objective of this study was to evaluate impact of irrigation interval on morpho-physiological characteristics of sweet potato varieties.
Methodology: The trial was a 3 x 2 factorial arrangement in CRD design consisting: three irrigation intervals (daily-control), four days and seven days interval) combined with two sweet potato genotypes (Hawassa-83 and Kulfo) with three replications.
Results: The morpho-physiological indicators, morphological traits, water use efficiency (WUE), Relative leaf water content (RLWC), leaf gas exchange, stomata density, and tuber yield were evaluated. The result indicated that morphological traits were significantly (P≤0.05) responded to genotype and irrigation frequencies. As compared to daily irrigation, an extended watering interval to seven days irrigation interval significantly reduced leaf number, vine length, branch number and internode length by 55.42, 19.83 cm, 2.17 and 0.35 cm, respectively. Stomata density was strongly responded to genotypes than effect of irrigation frequency. Genotype Hawassa-83 had approximately 2.0 more stomata per mm2 than genotype Kulfo regardless to irrigation frequency. The interaction effect between genotype and irrigation frequency revealed significant influence on photosynthesis and transpiration rate. The rate of assimilate accumulation was significantly reduced (by 9.97

The aim of the study was to conduct a qualitative and quantitative survey of hedgerows in a study area in the Imbiribeira neighborhood, Recife-PE, Brazil. After the delimitation of the study area, the number of properties with hedgerows was registered. The application of the questionnaire was directed to people residing, working or owning real estate that contained hedgerows with the following functions: embellishment, privacy, delimitation and coating. The number of blocks sampled, blocks with hedgerows, sampled hedgerows, hedgerows by block, properties with hedgerows, hedgerows by property and private companies and residences with hedgerows were noted. The interviewee was questioned about reasons for implantation and difficulties faced, presence of animals, reasons of plant selection, composition of plant species and phytosanitary conditions. In the study area 30 blocks were sampled, the presence of hedgerows was observed in 18 of them. Of these 18 blocks 73 hedgerows were surveyed, with an average of 2.43 hedgerows per block. The presence of hedgerows in 27 properties was verified. Landscape beautification is one of the main reasons for implantation and maintenance of the hedgerows. Of those interviewed, 30.77% stated that the work required for implantation and maintenance was a negative aspect of planting hedgerows. The presence of arthropods was verified in all studied hedgerows. General aesthetics was the reason most interviewees chose their particular plant species. Seventeen plant species and 11 families were observed. The species Ixora coccinea L. var. compacta Hort. was the most commonly found species. Hedgerows for the purpose of embellishment represent 83.56% of the hedges found. The phytosanitary status and the presence of flaws in the hedgerows in the study area presented a certain relation. Although hedgerows are widely used in urban and rural areas, studies on their composition, structure, ecological importance and relevance to biodiversity conservation are scarce.
