Authorial Voice in Islamic College English Department Students’ Argumentative Writing
Authors: Afifi Nur 
Published: March 2019

While considered elusive and abstract, authorial voice is paramount in English writing. Unfortunately, many of Indonesian EFL learners found it is highly challeging to show their voice in their writing. The importance of voice is even exaggerated in argumentative writing, since this kind of writing needs obvious stance of the writer. This study investigates the authorial voice students made in their argumentative writing. The purpose of this study is to gain the picture of students' writing ability especially in authorial voice to map the road in guiding the next writing classes. The object of the study is the argumentative writing made by English department students' at one Indonesian State College of Islamic Studies in their writing III course. Using Hyland's interactional model of voice (2008) the data analysis results the authorial presence in the essays is in position 2 at 0 ² 4 scale which means the reader feels somehow weak presence of the authorial voice in the essay. This result confirms the findings of some previous studies that EFL learners especially from 'interdependent' cultural background tend to find this authorial voice difficult in writing English essay.
Role of the cut-off function for the ground state variational wavefunction of the hydrogen atom confined by a hard sphere
Authors: Rojas R.A. , Aquino And N. 
Published: March 2019

A variational treatment of the hydrogen atom in its ground state, enclosed by a hard spherical cavity of radius Rc , is developed by considering the ansatz wavefunction as the product of the free-atom 1s orbital times a cut-off function to satisfy the Dirichlet boundary condition imposed by the impenetrable confining sphere. Seven different expressions for the cut-off function are employed to evaluate the energy, the cusp condition, <r^-1>,<r>, <r^2>, and the Shannon entropy, and as a function of Rc in each case. We investigate which of the proposed cut-off functions provides best agreement with available corresponding exact calculations for the above quantities. We find that most of these cut-off functions work better in certain regions of Rc , while others are identified to give bad results in general. The cut-off functions that give, on average, better results are of the form (1- (r/Rc)^n), n=1,2,3

Published: March 2019

Shell model calculations based on large basis has been conducted to study the nuclear structure of $^{20}Ne$, $^{22}Ne$ and $^{24}Mg$ nuclei. The energy levels, inelastic electron scattering form factors and transition probabilities are discussed by considering the contribution of configurations with high-energy beyond the model space of sd-shell model space which is denoted as the core polarization (CP) effects.~The Core polarization is considered by taking the excitations of nucleus from the $1s$ and $1p$ core orbits and also from the valence $2s$ $1d$ shell orbit in to higher shells with $4\hbar\omega$. The effective interactions $USDA$ and $USDB$ are employed with $sd$ shell model space to perform the calculation and the core polarization are calculated with $MSDI$ as residual interaction.~The calculated energy level schemes, form factors and transition probabilities were compared with the corresponding experimental data. The effect of core polarization is found very important for the calculation of $B(C2)$, $B(C4)$ and form factors, and gives excellent results in comparison with the experimental data without including any adjustable parameters.

Authors: Hussain Mansoor 
Published: March 2019

In this study impact of organizational based sel-esteem has been explained on organizational learning culture. Workplace spirituality and job autonomy have also been incorporated as two moderators. A model is proposed to scientifically explore the moderating effect of these two variables between organizational based self-esteem and organizational learning culture. PROCESS MACRO 3 executed in SPSS and linear regression analysis are employed to calculate the results whereas, data is collected from employees of private security companies operating in Pakistan. Main reason for selecting private security companies of Pakistan as prime sector for this study is ever increasing and vital role of these companies in overall security apparatus of Pakistan and minimal research in this industry which is disproportionate to its actual importance.
This study proposed five hypotheses and results indicate that organizational based sel-esteem has positive and significant impact on organizational learning culture. Similarly, Workplace Spirituality and job autonomy are also found to have positive and significant impact on organizational learning culture. No moderation is established by work place spirituality between organizational based sel-esteem and organizational learning culture, whereas job autonomy figured out as moderator with significant results.

Published: March 2019

Research Highlights
Despite the awareness on global climate change and reminder on environmental protection, it remains a challenge to promote sustainable tourism. The existing literatures on touristsâ€™ sustainable behaviours pinpointed the emergence of environmentally-conscious tourists, yet the antecedents of their behaviours have not been fully established. Responsible environmental behavioral intentions are expected to be relevant predecessors for sustainable tourism. Thus, this study applies Responsible Environmental Behaviour model (REB) by Hines et.al (1986), which is tested alongside with Consumption Values Theory (Sheth et al., 1991) and destination image. This research proposed four hypotheses along with environmental consumption values and environmental attitude. In comparison, tourists that have higher levels of environmental knowledge and positive image of the destination will have higher intention to behave in an environmentally responsible manner.

ECommerce is getting rapid popularity worldwide due to number of associated benefits. The addition of word "electronic" to commerce and business opens a world of opportunities for people. Females constitute 50% of total population of the world (World Bank , 2018). However, their contribution in economic activities is low either due to family restrictions or labour/ distribution channel issues because of male chauvinism in many societies. Apart from them, specific problems are common to females all over the world regardless of their belongingness to any culture including family responsibilities, limited physical strength and lack of availability of finance in many countries. As an ebusiness signifies with low cost, automated business process, availability of direct channel, flexible hours and nonetheless independence from physical existence (Turban & King, 2016) therefore the research suggested application of ebusiness as prospective solution to the barriers for female entrepreneurship that was further confirmed by the results.

A great number of students has a smartphone. They prefer to use it for supporting learning process and the out of classroom activities (Oz, 2014; Simonova & Poulova, 2016). As well, Android is the most widely used operating system especially in Indonesia (Statcounter, 2018). In supporting the idea of using smartphone as a learning resource in educational objectives, some researchers has stated some benefits of using it. The findings revealed that the students were activated to learn, fascinated, energized, and enhancing the studentsâ€™ competence. It tends to be presumed that the students are normally inspired by mobile learning, specifically through smartphone (Cavus & Ibrahim, 2009, 2016; Cho, 2018; Hsu, Wang, & Comac, 2008).
In connection with the ownership of smarthpone and its advantages in learning process, the reseacher designed an android application as a supplementary learning resources. To figure out the studentsâ€™ perception of using this application, the study proposed a research question and the result indicated that the students positively reponded of using an android smartphone application as a suplementary learning resource.

Published: March 2019

Institutionalization of relations with Sub-Saharan Africa states is one of approaches used to include those states in main currents of world economy. The African states will benefit because new markets for their exports will open which will increase the speed of reform of their political systems and economies. EU will benefi t because better overall situation of the African states will help in development of stable multilateral relations. In this paper I analyze the EU – Sub-Saharan states relations as an example of institutionalization understood as development of legal and institutional solutions that shape international relations. In this context institutionalization is an instrument that enhances systematic change which in turn leads to transformation of particular states and regions. In the paper I try to answer the question: is the declared level of integration of different instruments of EU foreign policy identical with the reality vis-a-vis the states of Africa.

Memoria, patrimonio y ciudadanía: una contribución desde una perspectiva didáctica
Authors: Estepa Giménez Jesús 
Published: March 2019

La educación puede suponer una contribución relevante para trabajar la memoria y sus huellas y testimonios a través del patrimonio. La atención en las víctimas, los disidentes, los olvidados, los vencidos y en los lugares de la memoria, significa otra manera de hacer historia y de enseñarla constituyendo un potente recurso didáctico, por un lado, en relación con los contenidos conceptuales, procedimentales y actitudinales y las competencias, como la empatía histórica, el trabajo con fuentes primarias y secundarias, la inteligencia emocional, la educación patrimonial y habilidades de pensamiento crítico y de análisis. Por otro lado, porque ante el empleo muy generalizado en la didáctica de la Historia de una metodología tradicional basada en la memorización de contenidos, el tratamiento de estos temas controvertidos en el aula desde una posición de imparcialidad comprometida hace necesario el uso de una metodología menos transmisiva por parte del profesorado y más activa en lo que se refiere al alumno, para evitar el adoctrinamiento ideológico y favorecer actitudes reflexivas y críticas. Con estos nuevos contenidos y esta metodología más motivadora, se podrá alcanzar en la educación de los estudiantes un mayor compromiso con el presente, la comprensión de sus vínculos con el pasado y la reflexión sobre las posibles consecuencias que tienen determinados hechos y acciones en el futuro.

A Comparison of Minimal Pharmacokinetic Models for an Anti-diabetic Agent
Authors: Mata May Anne E. 
Published: March 2019

In diabetes studies, pharmacologists rely on statistical techniques tied with experimental results to describe the plasma concentration of an anti-diabetic agent. However, these sets of statistical information only provide minimal inference to the drug’s kinetics. To understand the effect of an anti-diabetic agent to a glucose-insulin system, it is necessary to predict its movement in the system over a specific time interval. In this study, a set of simple pharmacokinetic models was formulated to describe the dynamics of the plasma concentration of an anti-diabetic agent known as metformin. The models were fitted to empirical data via nonlinear regression analysis and were compared using Akaike information criterion to determine the most reasonable model and parameter estimates. The results reveal that models considering varying absorption rate have a promising fit. These models can be extended to multiple drug dosage cases and can be used to estimate rate constants associated to other anti-diabetic agents.

Abstract
We present the first detailed kinematic analysis of the proper motions (PMs) of stars in the Magellanic Bridge, from both the Gaia Data Release 2 catalog and from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys data. For the Gaia data, we identify and select two populations of stars in the Bridge region, young main-sequence (MS) and red giant stars. The spatial locations of the stars are compared against the known H i gas structure, finding a correlation between the MS stars and the H i gas. In the HST fields our signal comes mainly from an older MS and turnoff population, and the PM baselines range between ∼4 and 13 yr. The PMs of these different populations are found to be consistent with each other, as well as across the two telescopes. When the absolute motion of the Small Magellanic Cloud is subtracted out, the residual Bridge motions display a general pattern of pointing away from the Small Magellanic Cloud toward the Large Magellanic Cloud. We compare in detail the kinematics of the stellar samples against numerical simulations of the interactions between the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, and find general agreement between the kinematics of the observed populations and a simulation in which the Clouds have undergone a recent direct collision.

Published: March 2019

Abstract
We characterize the incidence and intensity of low-level supermassive black hole activity within the Fornax cluster, through X-ray observations of the nuclei of 29 quiescent early-type galaxies. Using the Chandra X-ray Telescope, we target 17 galaxies from the Hubble Space Telescope Fornax Cluster Survey, down to a uniform (3σ) limiting X-ray luminosity threshold of 5 · 1038 erg s−1, which we combine with deeper, archival observations for an additional 12 galaxies. A nuclear X-ray point source is detected in 11 out of 29 targets. After accounting for the low-mass X-ray binary contamination to the nuclear X-ray signal, the X-ray active fraction is measured at 26.6% ± 9.6%. The results from this analysis are compared to similar investigations targeting quiescent early types in the Virgo cluster, as well as the field. After correcting for the different mass distributions, the measured Fornax active fraction is less than the field fraction, at more than 3σ, confirming that the funneling of gas to the nuclear regions of cluster members is inhibited compared to those galaxies in the field. At the same time, we find no statistically significant difference between Fornax and Virgo galaxies, with only marginal evidence for a lower active fraction in Fornax (1σ); if real, owing to Fornax's higher galaxy number density, this could indicate that galaxy–galaxy interactions are more effective at gas removal than galaxy-gas effects.
