KEUNIKAN TUTURAN HALUS BASA SEMARANGAN SEBAGAI SALAH SATU BENTUK KESANTUNAN BERTUTUR PADA MASYARAKAT JAWA PESISIR
Authors: Suryadi M. 
Published: February 2017

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelusuri keunikan tuturan halus basa Semarangan. Sisi keunikan yang dibidik adalah perilaku penutur Jawa-Semarang sebagai masyarakat pesisir dalam menempatkan leksikon leksikon krama inggil pada tuturan halus, sebagai cermin adab santun. Penelitian melalui pendekatan sosiolinguistik ini memanfaatkan metode deskriptif kontekstual sebagai alat untuk menganalisis data. Piranti yang digunakan adalah komponen tutur yang berwujud (1) penutur, (2) mitra tutur, (3) situasi tutur, (4) tujuan tutur, dan (5) pokok tuturan. Temuan penelitian berupa fitur keunikan tuturan halus basa Semarangan. Fitur tersebut berseberangan dengan kaidah yang berlaku pada bahasa Jawa standar. Dua fitur yang ditemukan meliputi (1) Leksikon krama inggil selain dikenakan kepada mitra dapat juga dilekatkan pada diri penutur, dan (2) Leksikon krama inggil meskipun melekat pada diri penutur tetap digunakan untuk menghormati mitra tutur. This research aims at showing the uniqueness of tuturan halus basa Semarangan. The uniqueness can be seen from the way the users place the lexical item of krama inggril in their tuturan halus as the reflection of politeness behavior. With sociolinguistic approach, I used contextual descriptive method to analyze the data based on the following speech components: (1) speaker, (2) hearer, (3) situation, (4) purposes, and (5) topic. The result shows that there are some features of tuturan halus basa Semarangan which violate standard Javanese. The features are as follows. (1) The lexical item of krama inggil can be attached not only to the hearer but also to the speaker him/herself; and (2) eventhough the lexical item attached to the speaker him/herself it can be used to respect the hearer.

Movement of Evidence in the European Union: Challenges for the European Investigation Order
Authors: Jurka Raimundas , Zajančkauskienė Jolanta 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
The issue of international cooperation in criminal matters has interested legal theorists and practitioners for decades. In this area of law there are certain challenges that can only be tackled by using the joint efforts of the States, which is different from the national law of the States. For this reason, certain principles of law are specific for international cooperation, and on the basis of these principles States provide legal assistance requests to each other or else create preconditions to ensure the efficient and unimpeded criminal proceedings. It is true that the principles of mutual legal assistance and recognition, and the influence of their alternation are not identical to all segments of international cooperation, including the development of the evidence law in the European Union.
With regard to the evidence and their admissibility in Member States of the European Union, it should be noted that this issue is still relevant, because the biggest concern of some Member States is the admissibility of evidence, when evidence is collected in one State and the admissibility of them is assessed in the other State. It would seem like a more formalized “concern”, but basically it is a quite significant impulse for searching of new legal instruments in the European Union, which would be able not only ensure the acceptability (admissibility) of evidence that was collected in the foreign State in accordance with the relevant procedural form, and in the court of the State which obtained this evidence, but also the sovereignty of the State, the authenticity of the national law, and the respect for the legal culture and traditions of this State.
The authors discuss the development of the law of evidence, the separate legal segments of this law, and their strengths and weaknesses in the article. Despite the fact that the effective mechanisms of evidence movement among Member States appear in modern European Union criminal justice, the latest legal instruments lack the clarity and certainty of certain procedural legal guarantees in the context of human rights protection.
Being Chinese in a global context: Linguistic constructions of Chinese ethnicity
Authors: Wong Kevin Zi-Hao , Tan Ying-Ying 
Published: March 2017

AbstractTo date, there has not been a large corpus of research looking at how different Chinese populations perceive language to be a part of their Chinese ethnicity. Even where this has been done, no attempts have been made to compare these perceptions across Chinese populations of different polities, to see if and how they differ. To fill this gap, this paper examines and compares the relationship between Mandarin-Chinese, “dialects”, and English, and the construction of Chinese ethnicity amongst Chinese Malaysians, Chinese Singaporeans, and Mainland Chinese. It does this through a questionnaire study employing 100 participants from each group, taking into account beliefs about the importance of these languages to the everyday experience of being Chinese, self-declared language proficiency, and self-declared language use. The results of the study suggest that “dialects” are becoming less important to Chinese ethnicity amongst all three groups, particularly amongst Chinese Singaporeans. Meanwhile, English is becoming more important amongst Chinese Malaysians and Chinese Singaporeans, once again particularly amongst the latter. While Chinese Malaysians continue to perceive Mandarin-Chinese as being the language most important to Chinese ethnicity, Chinese Singaporeans’ beliefs reflect English’s dominance over Mandarin-Chinese in nearly every aspect of everyday social life. These findings underscore how Chinese ethnicities in different parts of the world need to be understood on their own terms, and how language can be a vital clue as to how different Chinese ethnicities are constructed in the global context.
Confucius institutes in the US: Platform of promoting China’s soft power
Authors: Xiao Yun 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This study examines the driving force behind China’s “soft power” strategy and how Confucius Institute (CI) fits in the strategy. Drawing on data from the large-scale international surveys from PewResearchCenter and the ten Hanban/CI annual reports (2006–2015), the study finds that China’s outreach through CI has increased the understanding between China and other countries and built a favored image of “a responsible big nation” in the international community. The study shows that, by December 2015, there were 500 CIs and 1,000 Confucius Classrooms (CCs) in 134 countries/regions in the world. Collectively, they offered a total of 211,500 classes and registered over 5 million students from 2006 to 2015. They also attracted 94.27 million participants for cultural exchanges and 23.73 million participants for Chinese language tests in the same time period. Data from the researcher’s 3-month-long field study on two CCs shows that the Chinese language and culture are successfully promoted in American schools and exerting tremendous attraction to students, parents, and communities.
The sorption of monovalent cations onto wood flour and holocelluloses of Norway spruce: molecular interactions during LiCl impregnation
Authors: Kolavali Reddysuresh , Hasani Merima 
Published: February 2017

AbstractActive functional groups and interactions involved in the sorption of Li+ions from an aqueous LiCl solution onto the Norway spruce sapwood (sW) flour have been investigated. To this purpose, sW was delignified by peracetic acid (PAA) treatments and the resulting holocelluloses (HC6 h, HC24 h, HC51 h, HC72 h, where the lower case data indicate the PAA treatment time) with various lignin contents were immersed in aqueous solution of LiCl and the sorption effects were studied by flame atomic emission spectroscopy (FAES), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Brunauer- Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface area increased from 1.5±0.0 m2g−1to 2.4±0.1 m2g−1for HC6 h, and from 1.6±0.03 m2g−1to 2.7±0.6 m2g−1for HC72 hupon LiCl treatment. It was found that Li+/Cl−retention occurs predominantly via O-containing functionalities and the carbohydrate-rich samples sorbed more Li+. Upon LiCl treatment, the mobility and accessibility of the wood matrix was enhanced, possibly by interference of the introduced ions with the existing intermolecular bonds.
The role of sirtuins in mitochondrial function and doxorubicin-induced cardiac dysfunction
Authors: Dolinsky Vernon W. 
Published: March 2017

AbstractAnthracycline chemotherapeutics such as doxorubicin continue to be important treatments for many cancers. Through improved screening and therapy, more patients are surviving and living longer after the diagnosis of their cancer. However, anthracyclines are associated with both short- and long-term cardiotoxic effects. Doxorubicin-induced mitochondrial dysfunction is a central mechanism in the cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin that contributes to impaired cardiac energy levels, increased reactive oxygen species production, cardiomyocyte apoptosis and the decline in cardiac function. Sirtuins are protein deacetylases that are activated by low energy levels and stimulate energy production through their activation of transcription factors and enzymatic regulators of cardiac energy metabolism. In addition, sirtuins activate oxidative stress resistance pathways. SIRT1 and SIRT3 are expressed at high levels in the cardiomyocyte. This review examines the function of sirtuins in the regulation of cardiac mitochondrial function, with a focus on their role in heart failure and an emphasis on their effects on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. We discuss the potential for sirtuin activation in combination with anthracycline chemotherapy in order to mitigate its cardiotoxic side-effects without reducing the antineoplastic activity of anthracyclines.

Published: February 2017

Abstract
This study presents the non-linear viscoelastic properties of soy protein isolate (SPI) dispersions and acid-induced gels to considerable detail. The storage (G′) and loss (G′′) moduli of SPI dispersions showed Type III (week strain overshoot) and Type IV (strong strain overshoot) networks when the strain amplitudes varied between 0.01 and 1.00 and 1.00 to 100.00, respectively. In the case of acid-induced SPI gels the rheological parameters showed the characteristics of Type I (strain thinning) network. Fourier transform rheological experiments showed that the higher harmonic curves obtained u strain sweep test showed quite different shapes for SPI dispersions and gels. In the case of dispersions, the highest I
3/1 (0.101) occurred at the strain amplitude of 0.40 and then decreased to below 0.02. In the case of acid-induced SPI gels, the I
3/1 value began to be appreciable at the strain amplitude of 0.1 increased rapidly to its highest value (I
3/1=0.05).
Removal of Lipids, Cholesterol, Nucleic Acids and Haem Pigments During Production of Protein Isolates from Broiler Meat Using pH-shift Processes
Authors: Chaijan Manat , Panpipat Worawan 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
The effect of acid and alkaline pH shift processes on removal of total lipids, cholesterol, nucleic acids and haem pigments during production of protein isolates from broiler meat was investigated. The gel-forming ability of resulting protein isolates were evaluated in comparison with raw broiler meat and water washed broiler meat. Significant reduction of total lipids, cholesterol, nucleic acids and haem proteins was obtained from both pH shift processes (p < 0.05). Acid process recovered more protein with less total haem pigments resulting in a greater breaking force and whiteness of the isolate gel compared to alkaline counterpart (p < 0.05). However, protein isolate gels showed inferior deformation and water holding capacity to washed mince gel (p < 0.05). Therefore, the pH shift processing could be used to produce a functional protein isolate with low nucleic acids, haem pigments and lipids and, thereby, reduced cholesterol level. The protein isolates, particularly acid version, still had good gelling properties.

Published: February 2017

Abstract
Exposure of kumquat fruit to high ambient temperatures during transport leads to excessive deterioration. The aim of this study was to develop an integrated postharvest citrus treatment unit capable of being operated on site at the orchard. The unit consists of rinsing, disinfection (anolyte water), hot water (HWT), surface drying and biocontrol (BT) zones. An energy analysis revealed an electricity consumption of 4.13 and 2.08 kW by the HWT and BT, respectively. The thermal efficiencies of the HWT and BT were 72 % and 87 %, respectively. The total carbon ratio was 0.46 kg CO2 day−1 with a payback period of 0.91 years. An exposure time of 30 s in anolyte water, hot water at 60 °C + 30 s, 60 °C + 20 s and 53 °C + 30 s and the presence of B13 resulted in low PWL values. A total of 30 s and 60 s of anolyte water; 53 °C; 60 °C + 20 s hot water resulted in firmer fruit.

Abstract

Background
Phenylhydrazine (PHE) in experimental animal models has been widely reported to cause haemolytic anaemia, via the induction of oxidative stress and thus causing deleterious cardiovascular complications. Hence, this study was designed to evaluate the possible modulatory role of melatonin (MLT) or vitamin C when co-administered with PHE.

Methods
Anaemia was established with PHE administration. MLT or vitamin C was co-administered with PHE. Haematological parameters, markers of oxidative stress, enzymic and non-enzymic antioxidants, blood pressure and electrocardiograms were assessed.

Results
PHE administration led to a significant (p<0.05) increase in malondialdehyde (MDA), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generated in cardiac, renal and red blood cell (RBC) lysates. PHE also significantly reduced the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reduced glutathione (GSH) contents, respectively. The RBC counts, haemoglobin (Hb) concentration and packed cell volume (PCV) were also significantly reduced following the administration of PHE. Furthermore, the systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) increased significantly in rats administered PHE alone. Similarly, PHE administration led to a significant drop in heart rate but prolonged QRS, QT and QTc interval. Pathology of the heart and kidney was also observed in PHE treated group. However, treatment with MLT and vitamin C improved enzymic and non-enzymic antioxidant system together with the restoration of SBP, DBP and MABP to near normal. The architectural anarchy observed in the heart and kidney of PHE administered rats was reversed to some extent.

Conclusions
Hence, MLT and vitamin C could be employed as therapeutic targets in various cardiovascular diseases and its complications.

Published: March 2017

Abstract

Kerivoula krauensis was formally described in 2007 and until recently was only known from tropical forest in central peninsular Malaysia. We report four new records, which, together with recent published collections, extend the known range for this species to peatswamps, lowland and montane forests in Borneo and Sumatra (Brunei and Indonesia), and further north on the Malay peninsula, including Thailand. External body measurements and cranial data match well with those from the type locality, although echolocation call parameters differ – most likely due to technological improvements in recording devices. The species remains patchily distributed and rarely encountered, despite substantial sampling effort.
Fixed point and multidimensional fixed point theorems with applications to nonlinear matrix equations in terms of weak altering distance functions
Authors: Sawangsup Kanokwan , Sintunavarat Wutiphol 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
The aim of this work is to introduce the notion of weak altering distance functions and prove new fixed point theorems in metric spaces endowed with a transitive binary relation by using weak altering distance functions. We give some examples which support our main results where previous results in literature are not applicable. Then the main results of the paper are applied to the multidimensional fixed point results. As an application, we apply our main results to study a nonlinear matrix equation. Finally, as numerical experiments, we approximate the definite solution of a nonlinear matrix equation using MATLAB.
Matrix rank and inertia formulas in the analysis of general linear models
Authors: Tian Yongge 
Published: February 2017

AbstractMatrix mathematics provides a powerful tool set for addressing statistical problems, in particular, the theory of matrix ranks and inertias has been developed as effective methodology of simplifying various complicated matrix expressions, and establishing equalities and inequalities occurred in statistical analysis. This paper describes how to establish exact formulas for calculating ranks and inertias of covariances of predictors and estimators of parameter spaces in general linear models (GLMs), and how to use the formulas in statistical analysis of GLMs. We first derive analytical expressions of best linear unbiased predictors/best linear unbiased estimators (BLUPs/BLUEs) of all unknown parameters in the model by solving a constrained quadratic matrix-valued function optimization problem, and present some well-known results on ordinary least-squares predictors/ordinary least-squares estimators (OLSPs/OLSEs). We then establish some fundamental rank and inertia formulas for covariance matrices related to BLUPs/BLUEs and OLSPs/OLSEs, and use the formulas to characterize a variety of equalities and inequalities for covariance matrices of BLUPs/BLUEs and OLSPs/OLSEs. As applications, we use these equalities and inequalities in the comparison of the covariance matrices of BLUPs/BLUEs and OLSPs/OLSEs. The work on the formulations of BLUPs/BLUEs and OLSPs/OLSEs, and their covariance matrices under GLMs provides direct access, as a standard example, to a very simple algebraic treatment of predictors and estimators in linear regression analysis, which leads a deep insight into the linear nature of GLMs and gives an efficient way of summarizing the results.
A triple representation of lattice effect algebras
Authors: Chajda Ivan , Länger Helmut 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
A mutual relationship between MV-algebras and coupled semirings as established by L. P. Belluce, A. Di Nola, A. R. Ferraioli and B. Gerla is extended to lattice effect algebras and so-called characterizing triples. We show that this correspondence is in fact one-to-one and hence every lattice effect algebra can be considered as an ordered triple consisting of two semiring-like structures and an antitone involution which is an isomorphism between these structures.
Multiplicative generalized derivations on ideals in semiprime rings
Authors: Gölbaşi Öznur 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
Let R be a ring and I is a nonzero ideal of R. A mapping F:R → R is called a multiplicative generalized derivation if there exists a mapping g:R → R such that F(xy) = F(x)y + xg(y), for all x, y ∈ R. In the present paper, we shall prove that R contains a nonzero central ideal if any one of the following holds:

F([x,y]) = 0,

F(xoy) = 0,

F([x,y]) = ± [x,y],

F(xoy) = ±(xoy),

F([x,y]) = ±(xoy),

F(xoy) = ±[x,y],

F([x,y]) = ±[F(x),y],

F(xoy) = ±(F(x)oy),

F(xy) ± xy ∈ Z,

F(xy) ± yx ∈ Z,

F(xy) ±[x,y] ∈ Z,

F(xy) ±(xoy) ∈ Z,

for all x, y ∈ I.

The results corresponding to some theorems of S. Lal [Appl. Math. Comput. 209 (2009), 346–350] and the results of the authors [In: Banach Center Publ. 95, Polish Acad. Sci. Inst. Math., Warsaw, 2011, pp. 339–351] are shown. The same degrees of pointwise approximation as in mentioned papers by weaker assumptions on considered functions and examined summability methods are obtained. From presented pointwise results the estimation on norm approximation are derived. Some special cases as corollaries are also formulated.
