Published: May 2018

Abstract
One of the causes of public discomfort and complaint about odour in China is the nuisance odour, generated from the municipal sewage treatment plants. With the ability to be dispersed over a long distance, the odours can affect a large number of people. With the aim of identifying the compounds contributing the most to the overall odour emanating from municipal sewage treatment plant, and developing a prediction model for sensory odour concentration based on the compound odour activity value (OAV), odour samples from 2 days were collected at a municipal sewage treatment plant in Tianjin in the months of October and November 2013. Odour concentrations (OCs) were measured by the triangular odour bag method. Chemical components were quantified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. According to the analysis of odour emission characteristics, it was found that hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan were the key odorants responsible for the overall odour. To understand the interrelationship of these two odorants, 10 groups of a binary mixture of hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan, representing different levels of odour concentration and intensity, were prepared in the laboratory. OCs were regressed against OAV using multivariate linear regression. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between single-compound OAV and odour concentration (by both SPSS and Minitab software). Furthermore, the models were validated by field monitoring data, which showed the odour prediction concentration had a good fit to the measured concentration by using Minitab software. Lastly, the Austal 2000 model system was used for the simulation of the odour emission dispersion into the surrounding area. This study provides an effective way to predict the odour emission condition in municipal sewage treatment plant.
Enhanced photocatalytic degradation of doxycycline using a magnetic polymer-ZnO composite

Abstract
A novel magnetic polymer-ZnO composite was prepared by incorporating Fe3O4 and ZnO nano-particles in the structure of an adsorbent polymer. Precipitation polymerization was used for synthesizing the adsorbent polymer and its efficiency for extracting doxycycline from aqueous solution was optimized according to several parameters including time, pH and amount of polymer. Results showed the highest extraction efficiency at neutral pH of the doxycycline solution in 20 min, and the capacity of the polymer was about 20 mg/g. The magnetic property of a material is important for fast and facile separation of composite particles after each use. Magnetic polymer-ZnO composite was synthesized by adding Fe3O4 and ZnO nano-particles to the polymerization mixture in order to take advantage of both sorption and photocatalytic degradation mechanisms. The obtained composite was characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy equipped with wavelength dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and used for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of doxycycline in aqueous solution. Results showed 76.5% degradation of doxycycline in 6 hours which was significantly higher than the degradation observed by an equivalent amount of ZnO nano-particles. Photocatalytic degradation of doxycycline fitted the pseudo first order kinetic model with a rate constant of 4 × 10−3 μg mL−1 min−1.

Abstract
A magnetic cation-exchange resin (MCER) was prepared by copolymerization of oleic acid-grafted magnetite with styrene, divinylbenzene (DVB), and triallylisocyanurate (TAIC) for removing Cd(II) from wastewater. A non-magnetic cation-exchange polystyrene resin (CEPR) was also prepared as a reference. Structural and morphological analyses revealed that the MCER and CEPR were mesoporous microspheres; the MCER contained about 25% Fe3O4. The influence of temperature, pH, contact time, and the initial concentration of Cd(II) on the adsorption of Cd(II) was investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity of the MCER reached 88.56 mg/g, which was achieved at 343 K using a Cd(II) initial concentration of 200 mg/L. The adsorption processes attained equilibrium within 120 min for the MCER and 300 min for the CEPR, and were well described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, the equilibrium adsorption data fitted the Freundlich isotherm model better than the Langmuir model. The superior magnetic response and regeneration of the MCER make it a good candidate as an adsorbent for removing Cd(II) from wastewater.
Note on sediment removal efficiency in oil–grit separators
Authors: Tang Yangbo , Zhu David Z. , van Duin Bert 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Oil–grit separators (OGSs) are one type of best management practice, designed to remove oil and grit from stormwater runoff (e.g., from parking lots and paved roads). This note examines scaling parameters for OGS removal efficiency. Three dimensionless parameters are chosen as scaling parameters: Hazen number (Ha), Reynolds number (Re) and Froude number (Fr). The Hazen number is a ratio of hydraulic residence time to particle settling time. The Reynolds number measures the surrounding turbulence effects on sediment removal efficiency. The Froude number represents the ratio of inertial and gravitational forces, which indicates the influence of gravity on fluid motion. The collected data from the literature on sediment removal in OGSs can be represented by a single curve when the Hazen, Reynolds, and Froude numbers are combined into a new scaling parameter (HRF=Ha(Re/Fr)). A general form is proposed to correlate the sediment removal efficiency with this new parameter. This generalized prediction method can be used as a preliminary performance indicator for OGS units. The obtained curve can also be used to adjust raw laboratory and field measurement data to improve the evaluation of the performance of various OGSs.

Abstrak

Pemerintah Daerah Provinsi Bali telah menetapkan Peraturan Daerah tentang Kawasan Tanpa Rokok (KTR) di Bali dan kampus ditetapkan sebagai salah satu KTR termasuk kampus Universitas Warmadewa (Unwar), akan tetapi masih banyak mahasiswa merokok pada KTR di kampus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengetahuan mahasiswa yang merokok pada KTR terhadap rokok dan KTR. Wawancara dilakukan terhadap 95 mahasiswa yang biasa merokok pada KTR di kampus Unwar yang dipilih dengan cara snow ball sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa sebanyak 89,5% sampel adalah laki-laki, 84,2% tergolong perokok ringan-sedang, dan mereka merokok karena faktor lingkungan. Selain itu, sekitar 12,6% sampel memiliki pengetahuan baik tentang rokok, bahaya rokok, dan KTR. Jadi dapat disimpulkan bahwa kebanyakan mahasiswa yang merokok pada KTR di kampus memiliki pemahaman yang kurang tehadap rokok, bahaya rokok, dan KTR yang menyebabkan mereka tidak peduli terhadap KTR sehingga mereka bebas dan tanpa beban merokok pada KTR di kampus. Sosialisasi tentang rokok dan KTR perlu ditingkatkan khusunya kepada mahasiwa perokok. Selain itu, perlu diperbanyak jumlah ruangan tempat merokok di kampus yang mudah diakses oleh perokok.

Abstract
[Knowledge of at-Campus-Smoker Students about Cigarett and No-Smoking Areas]

The Bali provincial government has enacted a regulation of smoke-free areas in Bali, and campus is one the public place with the restriction. However, there are many college students who smoke on the campus, including students of Warmadewa University. The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge of smoker students about smoking and the smoking ban areas. A total of 95 students who smoked at Warmadewa campus were sampled by snowball method and were interviewed. The study showed that the at-campus smokers were mostly male students (89.5%) and 84.2% of them was mild-to-moderate smokers who smoked because of environmental factor. Only around 12.6% of the samples had good knowledge about cigarette, the harms of cigarette, and smoke-free area regulation. In conclusion, the students who smoked at the campus were mostly students who were not knowledgeable about the cigarette, the harms of cigarette, and smoke-free areas regulation, thus they felt free and were not guilty of smoking at no-smoking areas at the campus. Information dissemination on the harms of smoking and no-smoking areas are needed, especially for the smoking students. Additionally, more of accessible smoking spaces are needed at the campus for the smoker students.
Toward Natural Born Derivative Citizenship
Authors: Vlahoplus John 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Senator Ted Cruz’s campaign for the Republican presidential nomination again raised the question whether persons who receive citizenship at birth to American parents abroad are natural born and eligible to the presidency. This article uses Supreme Court decisions and previously overlooked primary source material from the Founders, the First Congress and English and British law to show that they are not natural born under the doctrinal or historical meaning of the term. The relevant constitutional distinction is between citizenship acquired by birth or by naturalization, not at birth or afterward.
It argues further that a living constitutional theory cannot justifiably interpret the term more broadly because derivative citizenship statutes have long discriminated on grounds including race, gender, sexual orientation, and marital and socioeconomic status. The Supreme Court upholds them even though they would be unacceptable if applied to citizens because they merely discriminate against aliens. Moreover, many who assert presidential eligibility or other constitutional privilege for children born to American parents abroad intend to favor traditionally dominant groups or rely on political theories of bloodline transmission of national character that the Supreme Court used to justify its infamous decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford. No justifiable living interpretation can incorporate such discrimination or discredited political theories in qualifications for the highest office in the land.
The article examines the meaning of the term “natural born” in the broader context of similar discrimination in English and British law from which American law developed. It acknowledges the difficulty of reconciling centuries of derivative nationality law and practice with our highest constitutional ideals of equal protection of the law. It concludes by identifying threshold requirements for and a possible approach to developing a justifiable living constitutional interpretation of natural born derivative citizenship.
On the slow implementation of pilot projects: Suspected causes from the perspective of statutory health insurance funds / Zur zögerlichen Umsetzung von Modellvorhaben: vermutete Ursachen aus Sicht der gesetzlichen Krankenkassen
Authors: Wessels Michael , Geuen Dorith 
Published: May 2018

Abstract

Background
The system of nursing care in Germany is currently changing. For years, a further development of cooperation in the health care sector has been discussed. And thus a change in the distribution of tasks between health care professions. In 2008, the legislature introduced the introduction of pilot projects for the transfer of medicinal tasks to nurses according to § 63 para. 3c Social Code V. The implementation is very sluggish. The aim of the study was to analyze the reasons for this sluggish implementation from the perspective of the statutory health insurance funds.

Methods
Quantitative survey of all statutory health insurance funds (n=124) in Germany.

Results
To ensure supply, 94 % of health insurance companies consider the transfer of medical tasks to non-medical care providers as a sensible approach. Also 96 % consider this to be very important in order to ensure care. Although 96 % of health insurance funds support the implementation of pilot projects, only 8 % are in fact involved in such contracts; 71 % do not plan own pilot projects for the future.
In the view of the statutory health insurance funds, legal obstacles (90 %), resistance by medical representatives (84 %), unresolved financing (74 %) and liability issues (70 %) as well as non-applicable regulations in G-BA-directive (79 %) and the law (85 %). Less than half (46 %) of the health insurance companies suspect high costs causing the slow implementation.

Discussion
The amendments adopted by the legislature in the current reform of the law on care professions can be described as appropriate; in particular the fact that statutory health insurance funds should implement and carry out appropriate pilot projects by 31 December 2020.

Authors: Rinanti Astri , Purwadi Ronny 
Published: May 2018

Blooming mikroalga dalam suatu perairan dapat menyebabkan ketidakseimbangan ekosistem akibat terhalangnya penetrasi sinar matahari, yang pada akhirnya dapat mengakibatkan ekosistem perairan tidak dapat berfungsi sebagaimana mestinya. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian lanjutan dengan memanfaatkan kelimpahan mikroalga blooming sebagai bahan baku bioenergi dalam rangkaian penelitian mengenai bioflokulasi yang dapat memberikan efek efisiensi dalam proses pembentukan bioenergi. Penelitian pada skala laboratorium ini menitikberatkan pada produksi pati yang dapat diubah menjadi bioethanol melalui tahap hidrolisis yang dilanjutkan dengan tahap fermentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa banyaknya pati tanpa proses hidrolisis lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan banyaknya pati akibat proses hidrolisis. Proses fermentasi pada suhu kamar tetap menghasilkan pati.Namun demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa produksi bioethanol tanpa penambahan senyawa kimia dalam proses hidrolisis dan berlangsungnya proses fermentasi pada suhu kamar tetap berpotensi untuk meningkatkan kelayakan ekonomi dalam rangkaian proses pembentukan bioenergi, sebagai kelanjutandari proses pemanenan secara bioflokulasi.Kata Kunci: blooming mikroalga, bioflokulasi, bioenergi, bioethanol, pemanenan

El “cuerpo vibrátil” de Giuseppe Campuzano como lugar para una metodología artística e indómita
Authors: Rodríguez Bencomo Albeley Beatriz 
Published: May 2018

El presente artículo se propone explorar el proyecto Museo Travesti del Perú (MTP), del artista Giuseppe Campuzano, con el objetivo de valorar sus aportes en relación con las posibilidades metodológicas de la investigación artística. En él destacaré componentes puntuales del trabajo de Campuzano, que abren algunas vías para comprender el conjunto y singularidad de sus herramientas y procedimientos.
Para este texto he colocado en relevancia el debate sobre la producción de conocimiento hecho desde el cuerpo, la importancia de la narración del sufrimiento y la violencia ejercida sobre los cuerpos feminizados/racializados, y su vínculo con la percepción de ellos como amenaza de lo que he llamado “feminización del mundo”. En esta lectura de los planteamientos de Campuzano, subrayaré la capacidad del MTP para desestabilizar los estados de indiferencia frente a la negación de las existencias travestis.
