Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTThe 2017 Mw 6.5 Jiuzhaigou earthquake (JE) struck a rugged area of the Jiuzhaigou Valley in eastern Tibet that has experienced frequent seismic activity over the last few decades. We use finite‐element models (FEMs) and Sentinel‐1 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar observations to characterize the earthquake source. The FEM domain accommodates a heterogeneous (HET) distribution of realistic crustal materials inferred by regional seismic tomography data. The HET‐derived source configurations yield a significantly smaller misfit, at the 95% confidence level, than that estimated for a homogeneous (HOM) half‐space. The former generally requires a lower degree of smoothing constraint, highlighting that the HET solutions are systematically more compatible with the surface observations than the HOM solutions. The magnitudes of induced Coulomb failure stress change (ΔCFS) estimated by the HET solution drastically differ (by >0.1  MPa) from those calculated by the HOM solution. The postearthquake stability of near‐field faults is generally overestimated by the HOM estimations, whereas some localities of negative ΔCFSHOM are predicted with positive ΔCFSHET. These results highlight the sensitivities of both slip and stress estimations to the complexity of the adopted elastic modeling domain, leading to more accurate aftershock hazard assessments. The HET‐resolved seismic rupture reveals two major slip asperities of magnitude up to 0.83 m distributed along the fault strike, which is coherent with the aftershock distribution. Two aftershock clusters are consistently found near or below these two peak‐slip zones, which are imaged by the HET model but absent in the HOM solution. The JE hypocenter and aftershocks are bounded below by a negative velocity anomaly (ΔVP, ΔVS down to −4%) at ∼18  km depth. Such low‐velocity layers of reduced strength may be relevant to the vertical distribution of seismicity and earthquake slip, which provide insights into assessing the seismic hazards and aftershock‐prone areas of the eastern Tibetan margin.
Aflatoxin M1 Contamination in Raw Cow Milk of Dairy Farms in Behbahan area, Khuzestan province, Iran
Authors: Ghasemian Seyedeh Ommolbanin 
Published: July 2019

Introduction: Mycotoxins are among the environmental chemical agents with toxic effects on animals and humans. Aflatoxins (AF) are a major group of mycotoxins produced following the growth of some species of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, particularly in agricultural products. Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is secreted to milk and remains there since the process of pasteurization and sterilization has little effect on this metabolite. The aim of this study was to investigate the natural occurrence of AFM1 in raw milk in Behbahan area, which is an area of high-density livestock production in southwest of Iran. The other aim was to compare these obtained levels with the accepted level recommended by the European community (50 ng/L).
Methods: In the present study, 90 samples of raw milk were collected from five dairy farms in Behbahan region, Khuzestan province, Iran. The AFM1 was analyzed using the Enzyme Linked Immune Sorbent Assay (ELISA) method by ELISA kits from Euro Clone, Italy.
Data were analyzed by ANOVA and the results were reported as mean ± SE. The significant level was set at p ≤ 0.05.
Results: The concentration of aflatoxin M1 in (15)16.54% of raw milk was higher than maximum tolerance limit accepted by European Union /Codex Alimentarius Commission (50 ng/l). The results of this study showed that all 90 investigated raw milk samples were contaminated with AFM1 (100%).
Conclusion: A significant difference was observed between concentration means of AFM1 in various studied farms at P < 0.05. Consequently, high occurrence of AFM1 in raw milk samples was considered as a possible hazard for human health. However, further longitudinal studies are required on milk samples and other dairy products in Behbahan as well as other regions of Iran to estimate the representative intake of AFM1 in Iran.

Introduction: Nowadays, consumption of meat and meat products have increased throughout the world. Regarding the economic values of meat, unauthorized tissues can be used in producing meat products. This study was conducted to detect unauthorized tissues in raw and processed meat products.
Methods: Samples of Kabab loghme (70% meat) and kielbasa (30% and 90 % meat), each containing 5, 10, 15, and 20% of chicken skin and bone were prepared. Then, each sample was divided into three parts. One piece was taken from each part and fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin. The samples were routinely processed for light microscopy and embedded in paraffin. The paraffin-embedded blocks were cut into 6 μm sections and stained using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) for histological study.
Results: The histological examination revealed the chicken skin and bone tissues clearly in all the samples. The histometrical analysis indicated that the estimated percentages of the additive bone, especially in kabab loghme, were not significantly different from the real percentages. However, the skin tissue was difficult to estimate, especially in Kielbasa.
Conclusion: The findings of the present research suggest the histological technique as an effective method for quantitative evaluations of raw and processed meat products. However, the quantitative evaluation of additive tissues in raw meat products was more convenience than the processed products. In addition, estimation of bone additive was more applicable in comparison with skin tissue due to its resistance to histological processing preparations.

Purpose of the Study: This study aims to identify the forms of directive politeness act found in the educational discourse, to describe the directive politeness act technique and to formulate directive politeness act that can be used to form the readers’ character, especially the students in Indonesia.
Methodology: This study used a qualitative approach with multi-column data analysis technique design. The data source of this study was the directive politeness speech act containing a message of character formation in the discourse of education column in the Daily National Newspaper (DNN) Kompas and Republika in the period from January 2018 to March 2018. The data analysis in this research was carried out while the data processing and data validation technique were being conducted. The data analysis is supported by the taxonomy data analysis technique of the Levinson model underlain by the Indonesian cultural background.
Result: The research results report that the use of directive politeness acts, in the discourse of education column in the daily national newspaper, can be divided into the politeness act of advising (9.62%), supporting (9.62%), and instructing (9.62%), by which the greatest number is gained. The directive speech act strategy in the discourse of education column can be divided into two types: direct strategy (83%) and indirect strategy (17%). The implication of the directive politeness act in the discourse of education column of DNN can be formulated into 11 character building values, which are religiosity, honesty, harmony-tolerance, discipline, sincerity and hard work, creativity, independence, democracy, curiosity, love for the homeland, and appreciation for other people’s works and achievements. The value of honesty, religiosity, and tolerance becomes the strong feature of the discourse of education column in DNN. The results describe that the thriving and excellent main capital in building Indonesia are divinity, harmony, unity, and tolerance.
Implications: The values of character education become a worthwhile benchmark in the framework to instill educational values and build readers’ independence and maturity in the Indonesian context.

Can philosophy be incorporated in Caxias? and the voices of children from the periphery
Authors: Gomes Vanise Cássia Araújo Dutra 
Published: July 2019

This text reflects on questions arising from the displacements associated with a philosophical project entitled Can philosophy be incorporated in Caxias? The public school bets on thinking, which is carried out with children from a public school located on a periphery in Brazil. This is a university extension project implemented by State University of Rio de Janeiro [UERJ in its Portuguese acronym]. It is coordinated by the Philosophy and Children Studies Group from the master’s program in Education at UERJ and it is developed in Municipal School Joaquim da Silva Peçanha in the municipality of Duque de Caxias in Rio de Janeiro; my workplace. We will try to make a brief foray into living this enigmatic exercise in a territory where the intention is to think about philosophy outside the university walls; a peripheral place where philosophy seems to have always been missing. However, when present, it affirms students’ and teachers’ strong, unique, and different voices as well as their thoughts on children in a Brazilian public school.
El rol de la comunidad de indagación en el espacio público escolar
Authors: Espinoza-Díaz Carlos , Arredondo-Ramírez Carolina 
Published: July 2019

Uno de los problemas de la sociedad moderna es el abandono voluntario de la comunidad y del espacio público. Las tecnologías individualizadas, el consumismo, la competitividad y las actividades privadas con fines de lucro se han apoderado del interés colectivo de la sociedad. La educación ha tomado el mismo rumbo, al adaptar prácticas del espacio público que son apropiadas a los intereses particulares de los grupos que lideran aquellos proyectos. No es de alarmarse que las relaciones comunitarias se vuelvan líquidas y sin importancia para las personas, colectividades y para el propio Estado. Sin embargo, ¿qué importancia tiene el espacio público en la escuela? ¿Cómo se expresa la comunidad de indagación en el espacio público de la niñez? Estas preguntas pretenden ser el hilo conductor de un diálogo entre comunidad de indagación, espacio público e infancia. En consecuencia, queremos situar a la comunidad de indagación como el punto de partida en la construcción de ciudadanos libres, democráticos, tolerantes, comunitarios, solidarios y conscientes del rol social político del cual son partícipes.

Authors: Xu Min , Kim Suk , David Jeanne 
Published: July 2019

There have been three major tax cuts in the modern US history: 1) the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017; 2) the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001; and 3) the Economic Recovery Act of 1981. Each of the first two major tax cuts had increased the federal debt. Just about everybody agrees that US federal debt is on an unsustainable path. Can we afford another major tax cut without trigging a major economic disaster such as the Great Recession of 2007-2009? This article discusses an overview of this new law, the impact of the first two major tax cuts on the federal debt, the impact of the Tax Cuts and Job Acts on the US government debt, and its consequences.
How Transformational Leadership Fuels Employee’s Creative Performance Behaviors in the Workplace?
Authors: Gashema Bruce 
Published: July 2019

Supervisory transformational leadership behavior is attracting a widespread interest due to its fundamental quality that spurs subordinate confidence and optimism in the workplace. Although, despite the mounting evidence that links transformational leadership to different organizational and individual innovative outcomes, it is not yet been documented whether transformational leadership (TFL) can strengthen employee’s creative performance behavior in the workplace. Recently, Successful entrepreneurs thrive under competitive pressures in today’s high customer sensitivity to quality and innovative services. Hence, it's now clear that workplace creativity would be a potential solution for driving business success today. Although, the vital role of supervisory transformational leadership behavior in enhancing creative performance behavior of employees has not been dealt with in depth. However, the present paper aims to validate the potential and possible relationship between supervisory transformational leadership style and employee’s creative performance behavior in the workplace. To prove or disprove the assumptions underlined in this study, a cross-sectional research design, was conducted using data from 14 commercial banks operating in Rwanda (412 of total respondents). A variety of methods and tools were employed to examine the relationship between the variables hypothesized in this study. We conducted CFA in SEM-Amos, mean and standard deviation using SPSS and also Hayes macro process to measure the possible effect of each variable in this model. The overall results support our hypothesized model. In this regard, we believe that we have obtained comprehensive results proving and validating the usefulness of our hypothetical model.
Time Series Forecasting in Stock Trading Markets
Authors: Lusk Edward J. 
Published: July 2019

Univariate Time Series Models [TSM] use only a Panel of historical data to produce forecasts. The tacit belief in using TSM is that the past information portends the future of the longitudinal data-stream. This is likely in certain cases such as strictly Ergodic Panel segments of sufficient size in the overall Panel. A question of interest is: Is the success of TSM in these contexts generalizable? The test of this question used a Litmus-Test design to examine the performance profile of TSM for a longitudinal time series the last point of which is a Turning Point [TP]. Specifically, the inference measure will use the Relative Absolute Error [RAE] of the TSM tested over three forecasting horizons. In this testing, five TSM configurations were employed; the TPs are identified using a fixed screening filter applied to randomly selected firm Panels actively traded on the S&P500 from 2005 through 2013. There is no evidence that any of the five TSM outperformed the RW model which is incidentally the TP. The impact of these results is that one cannot assume that the effectiveness of TSM generalizes to all domains—in particular—forecasting after TPs that seems to be a Domain Lacuna where the effectiveness of TSM will be compromised.

Abstract
Background

Motivating patients through text message (SMS) reminders can improve adherence to a healthy diet and can lead to better diabetes control. This study was carried out to assess the difference in dietary adherence in patients with Type II diabetes, who were sent dietary text message reminders vs. those provided standard care

Methods

A block randomized control trial was conducted at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Patients (n=249), diagnosed with Type II diabetes were invited to participate in the study. At baseline, dietary guidelines were provided to all the study participants. In the intervention arm, three dietary text message reminders were sent per week for 3 months. Adherence to diet was measured by assigning a score to the dietary intake assessed by the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) both at baseline and after follow-up.

Results

Mean age of participants in the intervention arm and the control arm was 49.7 (SD =9.94) and 51.3 (SD 9.79) years respectively. The results of the study showed no change in diet quality score from baseline till 3 months of the follow up in the intervention arm compared to the control arm. Odds ratio and confidence interval for the intervention was 1.04(0.96 – 1.14) compared to the control arm. However, diet quality score of overweight participants was 17% (OR: 0.83 CI: 0.70-0.99) less than that of normal weight participants. Each additional score points at baseline resulted in an almost 20% (OR: 1.20 CI: 1.07-1.34) increase in the adherence score at follow-up.

Conclusion

Findings of the study suggest that there is no effect of dietary text message reminders on the dietary adherence of patients with Type II diabetes in a three months duration study. However, adherence to a healthy diet is better in patients who had a healthy diet to begin with and those who were obese.

Trial Approval and Registration

Approval for this study was obtained from the Ethical Review Committee (ERC NO: 1981-CHS-ERC-11) of the Aga Khan University Hospital. This trial was registered on “Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry”. Trial registration number is: “ACTRN: ACTRN12612000538842”
O CONTEÃšDO DE LÃNGUA PORTUGUESA EM QUESTÃƒO: O EMBATE ENTRE DOIS DISCURSOS
Authors: Dos Santos Adelino Pereira 
Published: July 2019

A partir do referencial teÃ³rico e metodolÃ³gico da AnÃ¡lise de Discurso de linha francesa, o trabalho de pesquisa consistiu na constituiÃ§Ã£o e anÃ¡lise de um corpus formado por respostas de professores de LÃ­ngua Portuguesa do ensino bÃ¡sico a um formulÃ¡rio contendo trÃªs questÃµes: â€œO que Ã© conteÃºdo de ensino-aprendizagem da disciplina LÃ­ngua Portuguesa? Que conteÃºdo ensinar em LÃ­ngua Portuguesa e por que ensinÃ¡-lo? De que maneira o conteÃºdo de LÃ­ngua Portuguesa poderÃ¡ contribuir para a formaÃ§Ã£o cidadÃ£ do educando?â€ A anÃ¡lise permitiu a confirmaÃ§Ã£o da hipÃ³tese da existÃªncia de dois discursos em um intricado jogo de oposiÃ§Ã£o, embate, ambiguidade e entrelaÃ§amento: o Discurso PedagÃ³gico Tradicional sobre o conteÃºdo de LÃ­ngua Portuguesa (DPT) e o Discurso sobre o conteÃºdo de LÃ­ngua Portuguesa advindo dos Estudos LinguÃ­sticos Funcionalistas (DELF). O que compreendemos por DPT nÃ£o Ã© apenas uma questÃ£o de dizeres sobre o ensino de gramÃ¡tica normativa no ensino bÃ¡sico, discussÃ£o antiga, embora ainda atual. O DPT corresponde tambÃ©m Ã tradiÃ§Ã£o de crenÃ§as e valores escolares que se consubstanciam e se fundamentam ideologicamente em prÃ¡ticas pedagÃ³gicas tradicionais. Compreendemos por DELF todos os saberes e dizeres sobre o conteÃºdo e a prÃ¡tica pedagÃ³gica de LÃ­ngua Portuguesa enunciados a partir dos campos epistemolÃ³gicos dos Estudos LinguÃ­sticos que concebem o texto, nas modalidades oral ou escrita e nas multimodalidades, em seus aspectos discursivos, pragmÃ¡ticos, semÃ¢ntico-conceituais e formais como o objeto precÃ­puo de ensino e aprendizado na educaÃ§Ã£o bÃ¡sica.Â O DPT e o DELF estabelecem uma luta simbÃ³lica pela hegemonia na determinaÃ§Ã£o do conteÃºdo de ensino-aprendizagem de LÃ­ngua Portuguesa no ensino bÃ¡sico. O primeiro estabelece relaÃ§Ãµes de resistÃªncia, de permanÃªncia. O segundo busca conquistar espaÃ§o e legitimidade.Â Os resultados dessa luta simbÃ³lica foram analisados nasÂ seÃ§Ãµes deste artigo.Â
