Authors: Huda Nurul 
Published: September 2018

The communities of Islamic boarding schools as institutions that are born from the basis and doctrine of Islam are meticulously and courageously successful in dialectics with the facts of life. In the colonial era, the communities of Islamic boarding schools did not only fight because of the reasons which the colonialism exploited and treated the people in a non-human way, but also more than the religious doctrine was the most basic foundation so that resistance occurred continuously. The communities of Islamic boarding school is also able to provide a theological solution to critical issues related to the basic foundation of nation and state, such as the basic state debate in the Jakarta charter, and the single principle of Pancasila. As the result, the communities of Islamic boarding schools have made a final decision known the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI), Bhinneka Tunggal Eka (unity in diversity), Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution is the final and complete for Indonesian nation.

Published: September 2018

Abstract
The knowledge of root-knot nematodes behavior in different habitats and especially the knowledge of their reaction to major ecologic factors (humidity, temperature) are important for the assessment of pathogen potential in a specific area, being at the same time an important criterion for understanding the behavior towards host plants. The temperature is the most important factor, not just in the development of the entire biological cycle of root-knot nematodes, but at the same time it also affects their distribution, spread and survival under thermic stress conditions (excessive heat or cold). Alongside with the water and oxygen, the temperature is the triggering factor of hatching and running all stages until the adult stage. The articles aims to determine the survival of juveniles stages for Meloidogyne species, in the absence of host plants, and by exposing second stage juveniles to different temperatures. The juveniles survival and mobility decreases quite much at relative low temperatures (4°C and 10°C). Forward movements, mobility, hatching and lifetime were accentuated at higher temperatures (20°C) for a few weeks, so that after a period to decrease drastically (in 10 and 12 week) for the species considered for the study.

Abstract
This study analyzes the results obtained during the agricultural year 2015-2016 on the PHD thesis research field and was carried out on a series of 6 wheat varieties (Triticum aestivum L.), of which 5 Premium wheat varieties and one Class A variety. The purpose of this research is to stimulate the expansion of Premium wheat varieties surfaces in Romania. Due to the superior quality of the grains (protein> 14.5%) their use in bakery, will reduce the use of synthesis enhancers. The location of the experimental field was carried out in Draganesti-Vlasca area, at SCDA Teleorman. The aim was to establish optimal technology to maximize the quantity and quality of the yield. Given the crop rotation after peas, the behavior of the wheat varieties was observed on different nitrogen doses. There were applied 3 fertilization fractions with nitrogen (N1-N3) and 3 treatments with fungicides (V1-V3). Determinations of the main foliar and spike diseases were made. The correlation between fertilizer and fungicide treatments showed the differences between yield potential and disease tolerance of the analyzed varieties.
The Restriction of Individual Performance of PGPR on Maize Nutrient Uptake by Antagonistic Relations
Authors: Mutlu Hakan , Coskan Ali 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that certain soil microorganisms are capable to sustain plant nutrition in both conventional and organic agriculture; however, yet further studies needed for evaluation of the factors affecting PGPR performance. The goal of this research was to evaluate performance of natural bacteria relative to nutrient uptake and biomass development in corn (Zea mays L.) as it is related to conventional production systems. Soils have been collected from forested areas of Lake Region. The isolated bacteria have been tested at the conventional farm in Mediterranean region. Nine isolated and one cocktailed bacteria suspensions have been applied to rhizosphere of corn plants under regular cultivation practices in conventional production systems. The results revealed that all isolates are showing either positive or negative effect on both plant performance and nutrient uptake. No statistical differences were observed on grain yield; however, Isolates 3 and 9 showed improved grain-excluded biomass performances by 37.1% and 38.5% respectively. Phosphorus, zinc and manganese uptakes were the highest in Isolate 6 whereas the highest Fe uptake was determined in Isolate 8 at the tuft formation stage. Although all isolates represent their specific individual performances as far as any plant nutrient uptakes are concerned, their cocktail was not as effective. That happened probably due to competition between the isolates.
Does a Good Concentration Involve Necessarily a Better Use of the Production Factors?
Authors: Vlad Ionela Mituko , Toma Elena 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The paper was based on the idea that important changes have been occurred in the last years in the Romanian agriculture. Labour is one of the most important production factor in rural area and when this is linked to the agriculture sector, becomes a strategic issue. Land as one of the most limited resources in agriculture plays also an important role, its degree of concentration determining the structure of the farms system. The purpose of the study was to explore, by means of the Gini coefficient, whether the labour, in different forms (paid, unpaid labour) follows a similar degree of concentration as the Total Utilized Agricultural Area (UAA) and the farm output. The datasets used for the paper were the FADN public database (period 2007-2015) and the Tempo online dataset from Romanian National Institute of Statistics. The findings of this analyse were that paid labour, unpaid labour and the output followed a decreased trend of concentration and become during the analysed period, more equal distributed, while the area tends to have more unequal distribution, so the large farms tends to become larger.
Research on Phenotyping and Eno-Carpological Traits of Twenty-Three New Romanian Table Grape Varieties (Vitis Vinifera L.)
Authors: Bucur Georgeta Mihaela , Dejeu Liviu 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Twenty-three new Romanian table grapes varieties were analysed for their phenological behaviour, quantitative characteristics (bunch weight, berry weight, their length and width, grape yield), sugar accumulation, titratable acidity, and ºBrix / acid ratio during three consecutive years (2015-2017). The higher temperatures recorded during the study period determined an advance in the development of the main phenophases, especially the grapes’ harvest maturity. Absolute minimum temperatures during winter, damaging the vine, have significantly affected grape yield. As a consequence of earlier phenology and lower yields due to frost damage, harvest was advanced between 2 and 4 weeks than the average. The results obtained in this study favoured five remarkable genotypes for their very good quality of grape (‘Victoria’, ‘Tamina’, ‘Xenia’, ‘Napoca’ and ‘Augusta’). These varieties are distinguished by the highest values for bunch and berry weight (between 300-500 g and 5.5-8.4 g, respectively), berries’ size uniformity, the sugar content between 15.45-21.53 ºBrix and balanced ºBrix / acid ratio. Lately, the high temperatures during the grape maturation period have led to increased accumulations of sugar in berries, to reduced acidity, which affects the sugar-acidity balance; a more careful choice of grape harvest time is needed.

Published: September 2018

Abstract
Fish meat consumption has gained a lot of popularity in Europe in the last years. It is considered to be a great alternative for red meat because it provides large amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. These components lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, reduce the risk of autoimmune diseases, are essential for growth and development, can contribute to mood elevation and can prevent cognitive decline, and eye disease. Unfortunately the benefits can sometimes be accompanied by a risk associated with chemical and microbiological contaminants. The aim of this paper is to review some recently published studies concerning the groups of chemical compounds and bacteria found in fish meat, which can have negative effects on human health. In order to raise awareness, aspects related to dangerous persistent organic pollutants and zoonotic bacteria are described. The frequency of encountering them is discussed, the ways in which they can reach the human body are specified and a critical comparison of their consequences is performed.

Published: September 2018

Abstract
Rosa canina L. fruit have been used internally as tea for treatment of viral infections and disorders of the kidneys and urinary tract. Also, it was reported that the R. canina fruit, with its high ascorbic acid, phenolics and flavonoids contents, have antioxidant, antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic effects. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which cause oxidative damage to lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids and thus protect the organism. Research studies conducted on this topic have shown that natural antioxidants are involved in protection against many diseases: cancer, cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis. Different processing and storage methods of the fruit could affect the bioactive nutrients while preserving the antioxidant capacity of them is very important. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of storage in a dry or frozen state on the antioxidants content of R. canina fruit. The evaluation involved determination of carotenes, ascorbic acid and total polyphenols using spectrophotometrically methods. Analysis performed on the R. canina fruit showed significant changes in the antioxidants content in fresh, dried and frozen fruit during storage.
Central Bank Credibility, Independence, and Monetary Policy
Authors: Aguir Abdelkader 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The main motives behind the adoption of an inflation targeting regime largely relate to the notion of credibility, transparency of monetary policy and the autonomy of the central bank, which explicitly undertakes to achieve a certain inflation target. This paper examines the effects of inflation targeting in emerging economies in relation to the degree of independence of the central bank and the credibility of monetary policy. We find effects in emerging economies with little central bank independence, so our findings suggest that the central bank’s credibility, transparency and independence is a prerequisite for emerging economies to experience a decline in inflation following the adoption of inflation targeting.

Published: September 2018

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by a disorder in the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. The liver as a non-insulin dependent organ plays an important role in the regulation of blood fat and glucose. Most blood glucose lowering drugs that are introduced for treatment have side effects in long-term consumption. Therefore, to control diabetes and its complications, the use of herbal drugs is widely considered nowadays. The present study investigates the biochemical effects of oleuropein in diabetic male rats. In this study, 30 adult male Wistar rats with a weight range of 190±30 gr were equally divided into 3 groups randomly: 1) control group or intact animals, 2) diabetic animals, and 3) treatment group, which received 60 mg/kg oleuropein for 30 days by gastric gavage. Diabetes was induced in diabetic and treatment groups by injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg) intraperitoneally. At the end of the treatment, the levels of triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL, HDL, VLDL, blood glucose, HbA1C, and activity of AST and ALT were determined. The results showed that the serum lipid profile and blood glucose increased significantly in the diabetic group compared with the control group (p<0.05). Also, HbA1C and atherogenic index decreased significantly in the treatment group compared with the diabetic group (p<0.05). This study showed that oral administration of oleuropein has hypoglycemic effects, which can reduce the serum levels of the lipids profile and the atherogenic index in streptozotocin-induced diabetic male rats.
Experimental Study of the Aerodynamics of Sail in Natural Wind
Authors: Xiangming Zeng , Huawu Zhang 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
In order to evaluate the impacts of a motor vessel after installing wind sails, the aerodynamics of the sail should be accurately calculated. However most of the research on sails are based on stable wind instead of natural wind which is changing horizontally and vertically. In this paper wind tunnel tests are carried out based on stable wind field and simulated natural wind field, the results shown that there are 16–44% decrease in natural wind in terms of lifting coefficient and 11–42% decrease for drag coefficient. This would provide a valuable reference to the effectiveness evaluation of the impact of sails for sail assisted ships.
Passive Localization for Mixed-Field Moving Sources
Authors: Gao Chunxian , Liu Hui 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Due to the mobility of underwater equipment, high-precision underwater positioning technology will face two technical challenges: dealing with mixed-field signals composed of near-field signals and far-field signals; adapting to variable component of mixed-field signals considering the mobility of equipment. Under this condition, an effective method based on MUSIC is addressed in this paper. After distinguishing far-field signal subspace from mixed-field signal subspace, estimations of DOAs and powers of far-field sources are carried out. Then the corresponding far-field and noise signal components can be eliminated from the signal subspace. After that, based on path-following algorithm, modified 2D-MUSIC is performed for DOA and range estimations of near-field sources. The performance of the proposed method is verified and compared with the other methods through computer simulations. Reasonable classification of source types and accurate localization estimation can be achieved by using the proposed method.
Research on Key Process Technology for Profile Electrolytic Finishing of Large Marine Propeller Impeller
Authors: Ding Bi-Rong , Chen Yuan-long , Zhou Ji , Chen Pei-xuan 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
An electrolysis process method for free-form blade surface finishing is proposed for a free-form surface impeller, and a stepwise method is used to process the inter-blade channel of the overall impeller. The forming cathode is then used to finish the blade to meet the blade processing requirements. In the design, the forming cathode structure was improved by using motion simulation software, and the flow field simulation software was used to simulate and analyze the cathode flow channel. The cathode shape and the electrolyte flow rate between the electrodes meet the processing requirements. In the process of processing experiments, the motion path of the cathode was analyzed and optimized. The effect of the feed direction on the uneven distribution of the blade machining gap was reduced through optimization, and high-frequency pulse power processing was used to reduce the machining gap and improve the machining accuracy of the blade. The experimental results show that the process scheme is feasible and the precision of the processed impeller free-form surface is significantly improved. The material is a monolithic turbine disk of high-temperature alloys, and its large twisted blade processing has always been a problem in the manufacturing industry.

Published: September 2018

Abstract
In the context of the Index Thomisticus Treebank project, we have enhanced the full text of Bellum Catilinae by Sallust with semantic annotation. The annotation style resembles the one used for the so called “tectogrammatical” layer of the Prague Dependency Treebank. By exploiting the results of semantic role labeling, ellipsis resolution and coreference analysis, this paper presents a network-based study of the main Actors and Actions (and their relations) in Bellum Catilinae.
