Published: October 2017

<strong>English</strong><br />In some rural areas, autonomous-formed traditional institutions keep its important roles and well-functioned. Community participation, mainly those who belong to poor group, was quite high both in institutional participation and in decision making process. The reason was that they gained some benefits, both economic and social benefits. The existing institution was adequately dynamic towards internal as well as external factors. Some of these factors could strengthen the institutions, but some others could even destroy the existing institutions. Some factors that contribute strengths to employment relations are (a) those naturally established and formed their own community, (b) selection of members appeared to have been processed naturally, (c) facing common problems and needs, (d) obey the agreed rules of the games, (e) use simple organizational structure, and (f) and employ fairness principles.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Kelembagaan hubungan ketenagakerjaan tradisional masih berperan dan berfungsi dengan baik dibeberapa wilayah pedesaaan, yang dibentuk secara otonom. Partisipasi masyarakat terutama golongan kurang mampu cukup tinggi, baik dalam keikutsertaannya di dalam kelembagaan, maupun dalam pengambilan keputusan. Hal ini disebabkan karena didapatkan manfaat baik secara ekonomi maupun sosial. Kelembagaan yang ada cukup dinamis terhadap faktor-faktor intern maupun ekstern. Ke dua faktor tersebut ada yang dapat memperkuat, namun ada pula yang justru menghancurkan kelembagaan yang telah ada. Beberapa faktor yang memberikan kekuatan terhadap kelembagaan hubungan ketenagakerjaan adalah (a) lahir dan terbentuk dari dalam masyarakat sendiri, (b) proses seleksi anggota secara alamiah, (c) mempunyai masalah dan kebutuhan yang sama, (d) menjunjung tinggi aturan main yang disepakati bersama, (e) struktur organisasi sederhana, dan (f) adanya azas keadilan.

Published: October 2017

<strong>English</strong><br />Global financial crisis and climate changes have affected food security in a more vulnerable situation. Food security pillars, in this respect should be strengthened. The food security pillar should not rely only on quantitative approaches, but also on other pillars in a wider food spectrum. One of the feasible ways to enhance food security is to develop food diversification based on local food commodities. This paper is aimed to assess some vulnerable points of national food security, the significant of the diversification to enhance food availability and its prospect as one of the pillars to develop steady food security in Indonesia. <br /><br /><br /><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Krisis finansial global dan perubahan iklim mengakibatkan ketahanan pangan menjadi lebih rawan. Oleh karena itu pilar-pilar ketahanan pangan perlu diperkuat. Pendekatan yang perlu ditempuh adalah mengupayakan agar pilar ketahanan pangan tidak hanya bersandar pada dimensi kuantitatif dalam penyediaan, distribusi, dan daya beli tetapi perlu dilengkapi dengan perluasan spektrum pangan. Salah satu cara yang layak ditempuh adalah dengan mengembangkan diversifikasi berbasis bahan pangan lokal. Tulisan ini membahas titik-titik rawan ketahanan pangan nasional, menelaah arti penting diversifikasi berbasis bahan pangan lokal, dan prospek diversifikasi sebagai salah satu pilar ketahanan pangan Indonesia.

Published: October 2017

The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and intensity of gastrointestinal parasites in horses from various management systems. The study included 296 horses of different breeds and ages (from 6 months to 20 years), of both sexes, coming from various management systems: Group 1 – horses using natural pastures, Group 2 – horses pastured on field pastures created by man, Group 3 – horses using sand areas. Faeces samples were collected directly from the rectum 1–2 days before worming. Each sample was examined macro- and microscopically (McMaster method). The number of oocysts/eggs per gram of faeces (OPG/EPG) and parasite abundance (average representation of parasites in relation to all animals). The results were subjected to statistical analysis using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Total prevalence of parasites in all groups was 66.89%: E. leucarti 0.68%; Anoplocephalidae 4.73%, P.equorum 9.46% and Strongylidae 64.19%. Total prevalence per group was the following: 1 – 57.43%; 2– 26.69%; 3 – 6.38 %. In all management systems, the dominating parasites belonged to Cyathostominae (Group 1–77.65%, Group 2 – 70.89%, Group 3 – 4.25%). The prevalences of P. equorum, Anoplocephalidae, E. leucarti in each group were as follows: Group 1 – 10.59; 3.53; 0.59%; Group 2 – 11.39; 10.13; 1.27%; Group 3 – 2.13; 0; 0%.The average intensities of Strongylildae, P. equorum, Anaplocephalidae and E. leucarti in groups were as follows: Group 1 – 606.44; 519.44; 50; 50; Group 2 – 472.32; 261.11; 62.5; 50; Group 3 – 1150; 450; 0; 0. On the other hand, the average abundances in each group were the following: Group 1 – 473.67; 55; 1.76; 0.29; Group 2 – 334.81; 29.75; 6.33; 0.63; Group 3 – 48.94; 9.57; 0; 0.	The statistical analysis did not reveal statistically significant differences between the management system and invasion intensity. However, the analysis, taking into consideration a correlation between the management system and abundance, revealed statistically significant differences. The differences were observed between Groups 1 and 3 (pi = 0.0000001) and between Groups 2 and 3 (pi = 0.0000001).
Removal of tryptophan in drinking water using biological activated carbon filter
Authors: Wang Shuai , Lin Tao , Chen Wei 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Tryptophan (Trp), an important nitrogenous organic compound commonly present in water sources and posing a serious threat to human health, was selected as the main object in the removal trial by utilizing a laboratory-scale biological activated carbon (BAC) column. The laboratory-scale BAC column was divided in a three-part composition: upper layer (UL) (0–20 cm), middle layer (ML) (20–40 cm) and bottom layer (BL) (40–60 cm). The removal efficiencies of Trp in the three layers were 45.4%, 86.4% and 43.2%, respectively, while the adsorption of granular activated carbon (GAC) for Trp did not show a similar tendency (the average adsorption yields were 10.98 ± 1.17 mg/g, 7.45 ± 0.80 mg/g and 3.32 ± 0.39 mg/g, respectively), which indicated that the biodegradation of microorganisms attached to the GAC played an important role. Furthermore, a high-throughput quantitative polymerase chain reaction (HT-qPCR) was utilized to determine the relative abundance of the first eight bacterial genera in the three BAC layers and results revealed the relative abundance of Aquincola, Pseudomonas and Ensifer were highest in the ML.
Effects of scale and Froude number on the hydraulics of waste stabilization ponds

Published: October 2017

Abstract
This paper presents the findings from a series of computational fluid dynamics simulations to estimate the effect of scale and Froude number on hydraulic performance and effluent pollutant fraction of scaled waste stabilization ponds designed using Froude similarity. Prior to its application, the model was verified by comparing the computational and experimental results of a model scaled pond, showing good agreement and confirming that the model accurately reproduces the hydrodynamics and tracer transport processes. Our results showed that the scale and the interaction between scale and Froude number has an effect on the hydraulics of ponds. At 1:5 scale, the increase of scale increased short-circuiting and decreased mixing. Furthermore, at 1:10 scale, the increase of scale decreased the effluent pollutant fraction. Since the Reynolds effect cannot be ignored, a ratio of Reynolds and Froude numbers was suggested to predict the effluent pollutant fraction for flows with different Reynolds numbers.
Identification of fouling mechanisms in MBRs at constant flowrate: model applications and SEM-EDX characterizations
Authors: Hu Bo , Zuo Xingtao , Xiong Juan , Yang Huimeng , Cao Menghua , Yu Shuili 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
A fundamental understanding of fouling mechanisms is critical to improving filtration operations. The performance of four parallel membrane bioreactors (MBRs) with different sludge retention times (SRTs) was monitored during long-term constant flowrate filtration. The characteristics of the membrane and transmembrane pressure (TMP) profiles obtained were studied to demonstrate fouling mechanisms. Both classical blocking models and their combined models were evaluated. The intermediate model provided very good agreement with all the TMP data. However, the combined cake-intermediate and intermediate-standard models were more effective in the description of the experimental data. Contributions analysis indicated that the cake, intermediate and standard blocking models were the dominant fouling mechanisms. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) imaging showed that cake blocking by organic matter and standard blocking by inorganic matter made the main contributions to membrane fouling. The combined cake-intermediate and intermediate-standard models may be applicable to systems where these two models are consistent with the experimentally observed fouling mechanisms in an MBR.
Root Anatomy and Growth of Capsicum frutescens L. on Verticulture with Different Watering Supply
Authors: Ratmadanti Fitria Rahayu , Maryani M.M. 
Published: October 2017

The rapid increase in human population reduces land productivity in urban areas. Verticulture is a way of planting in a vertical arrangement, such as for Capsicum frutescens L. This study aimed to examine the root anatomy and growth responses of C. frutescens L. Fourteen days old seedlings were grown in polybags on the ground and into vertical pots made of paralon pipe. Watering was given for every day, once in 3 days, and once in 6 days were apllied for 35 days, at elevation of 0 cm, 25 cm, 50 cm and 75 cm. The lower watering supply decreased the root diameter due to the thinner of cortical, xylem and stele tissues. Decreased in plant height, leaf number, length-width of leaves, and fresh and dry weight of root-shoots were also observed in low watering plants, but there were increases in roots length and leaves chlorophyll content. The xylem was less developed in plants at higher position compared to the lower positon and this was more detected in plants with less watering. Decreasing plant growth occurs in conditions of water shortage and the higher plant layout on paralon, while root vascullar tissue was less developed in less watering and higher position plants.

Aspectos internacionales y monetarios de la inflación dominicana
Authors: Volmar Gustavo S. 
Published: October 2017

La inflación de precios se ha convertido en un fenómeno bastante generalizado actualmente en el mundo occidental, y que amenaza la estabilidad a largo plazo de la economía mundial. Aun cuando un número creciente de expertos opina que la inflación no perdurará por mucho tiempo más, sus efectos colaterales se harán sentir durante un período prolongado en el futuro. Los gobiernos de los países desarrollados han llegado penosamente a concluir que la inflación no es un problema tan fácil de resolver como creían con anterioridad. Se han percatado de que una vez entronizado, el fenómeno inflacionario altera de tal modo las condiciones bajo las cuales la economía opera, que da lugar a un nuevo modus operandi que simplemente no puede ser transformado de repente so pena de causar trastornos muy serios en el nivel de empleo y en la tasa de crecimiento económico real.

Las características estéticas del cuento La mujer de Juan Bosch
Authors: Ureña Rib Pedro R. 
Published: October 2017

Este artículo analiza, desde la perspectiva lingüística y la semiótica textual, la naturaleza sígnica y las características estéticas del cuento “La mujer” de Juan Bosch. Premisa: el maestro, para el cumplimiento de su misión de desarrollar habilidades, orientar las inquietudes heurísticas del educando, guiar su sentido crítico, y desarrollar su capacidad de valoración, depende del trabajo de investigadores y científicos de las más diversas áreas. El maestro que tiene que ver con la actividad lingüística o literaria dependía del psicólogo y del lingüista hasta hace poco. Hoy depende también de la labor del experto en semiótica, del estudioso de la comunicación y de la informática, ya que su misión no es la de recitador de historia o de teoría literaria, sino la de formar el gusto, desarrollar habilidades lingüísticas, perceptivas o expresivas. En conclusión, el cuento de Bosch analizado es una pieza compleja, construida mediante elementos semánticos y simbólicos, por lo que el lector se encuentra trasladado a un mundo de tensiones, a un mundo coherente, creado por la pluma de un escritor genial.
Bases neuropsicológicas de las dificultades en el aprendizaje: III, Investigaciones en la República Dominicana
Authors: Herrera Jorge A. 
Published: October 2017

Esta es la tercera entrega de Jorge Herrera en torno al tema de las bases neuropsicológicas de las dificultades del aprendizaje. El segundo artículo publicado en esta misma revista se subrayaba la importancia de clarificar los aspectos de la relación cerebro-conducta con mayor precisión el concepto de dificultades relacionados con el aprendizaje, tales como la asimetría funcional del cerebro-lateralización de funciones y el lenguaje. En el presente artículo se describen algunas de las investigaciones realizadas en los últimos años en República Dominicana, las cuales complementan y amplían el conocimiento del campo, así como su aplicación a la realidad dominicana. Conclusión: Las investigaciones reseñadas en el presente trabajo perfilan la naturaleza de una entidad conceptual que puede ser utilizada para explicar el motivo por el cual algunos niños no aprenden adecuadamente a pesar de no haber una razón o motivo aparente. Cabe notar de la forma más enfática que una visión actualizada de las dificultades específicas en el aprendizaje exige que se trate de establecer el porqué el niño fracasa sin permanecer en el estancamiento del mero rótulo diagnóstico.

Discussion of: 10-K Disclosure Repetition and Managerial Reporting Incentives
Authors: Dyer Travis A. , Lang Mark H. , Stice-Lawrence Lorien 
Published: October 2017

ABSTRACT
We discuss the evolution of research on textual attributes in accounting and suggest potential directions for future research using Cazier and Pfeiffer (2017) to illustrate the challenges and opportunities in the literature. We categorize the literature based on whether a given textual attribute is assumed to be “discretionary” versus “nondiscretionary” and whether it is assumed to be “helpful” versus “harmful.” The literature to date has been largely descriptive, with limited focus on causality, and we argue that there are substantial opportunities for research that better isolate the discretionary components of textual disclosure, as well as identifying specific contexts in which a given attribute is more likely to be helpful than harmful.

Effect of Filler–Polymer Interface on Elastic Properties of Polymer Nanocomposites: A Molecular Dynamics Study
Authors: Ma Chi , Ji Tuo , Robertson Christopher G. , Rajeshbabu R. , Zhu Jiahua , Dong Yalin 
Published: October 2017

ABSTRACT

A coarse-grained model has been built to study the effect of the interfacial interaction between spherical filler particles and polymer on the mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites. The polymer is modeled as bead-spring chains, and nano-fillers grafted with coupling agent are embedded into the polymer matrix. The potential parameters for polymer and filler are optimized to maximally match styrene-butadiene rubber reinforced with silica particles. The results indicated that, to play a noticeable role in mechanical reinforcement, a critical value exists for the grafting density of the filler–polymer coupling agent. After reaching the critical value, the increase of grafting density can substantially enhance mechanical properties. It is also observed that the increase of grafting density does not necessarily increase the amount of independent polymer chains connected to fillers. Instead, a significant amount of increased grafting sites serve to further strengthen already connected polymer and filler, indicating that mechanical reinforcement can occur through the locally strengthened confinement at the filler–polymer interface. These understandings based on microstructure visualization shed light on the development of new filler polymer interfaces with better mechanical properties.

Authors: Fraihat Safwan Mohammad 
Published: October 2017

Two spectrophotometric methods were developed for the determination Tadalafil in pharmaceutical preparations. The methods are based on the oxidation reaction with known excess amount of Ce(IV) and estimation of the unreacted amount using Indigo carmine dye (Method A) and in Methylene blue dye (Method B). the factors affecting the reaction conditions were studied and the absorbance of absorbance of the oxidation reaction products were monitored at 610 and 600 nm for methods A and B respectively. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration ranges 11 to 50 and 10 to 55 ppm, the limits of detection and quantification are reported. The proposed method was applied to the determination of the drug in pharmaceutical formulations and the results demonstrated that the method is equally accurate, precise and reproducible as the official methods. The validity of method was established by recovery studies with satisfactory results.
Effectiveness of Narrative Persuasion on Facebook: Change of Attitude and Intention towards HPV
Authors: Cuesta Ubaldo , Martínez Luz , Cuesta Victoria 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Information, detection and prevention are very important factors in sexually transmitted diseases such as human papillomavirus, which is linked to cervical cancer and other cancers (WHO, 2015). This paper aims to demonstrate empirically whether the use of narrative in new media, such as Facebook, produces a greater impact on attitudes and intention in sex education issues, such as human papillomavirus, than the same information presented in non-narrative. Also, the role of the viewer’s involvement in this persuasive effect is analysed. A group of young university students was tested before and after viewing a Facebook profile on HPV in a narrative vs non-narrative format. The narrative proved to be more effective than the non-narrative, provoking a more positive attitude towards periodic medical checkups and towards the intention of being tested for HPV. Additionally, narrative transportation proved to have a direct effect on attitude, while involvement with both the story and the character play a moderating role on intention. In conclusion, this paper demonstrates that structured narrative format in Facebook is an effective tool in the field of health education and prevention of HPV, which could also play a role in preventing cervical cancer.
Rethinking the Dworkinian Forward-Looking Approach: is Affirmative Action Compatible with Fairness?
Authors: Yu Chong Ho , Cheung Kwok Tung 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Whether Affirmative Action is a proper way to accomplish social justice in terms of fairness has been an ongoing debate in the United States. Late philosopher Ronald Dworkin was a vocal supporter of Category 4 Affirmative Action, in which preferential treatments for minorities is justified. Dworkin emphasized a forward-looking approach as a means to achieve social justice and overall fairness. In his view, it is not sufficient for black applicants to enjoy preferential treatment now just because in the past their ancestors suffered due to slavery. Rather, a successful argument for affirmative action programs must include a forward-looking justification. To be specific, this policy promises a better educational environment in terms of diversity and promotes a less racially conscious society for all citizens. Additionally, Dworkin often cited the study entitled The Shape of the River to substantiate his claim that special treatment for minorities could amend social injustice and produce fairer outcomes. This article attempts to evaluate this Dworkinian theory on both the principle and practical levels. It concluded that while a neutral or non-interventional policy is insufficient to achieve racial equality, interventions in terms of special treatments and soft quotas are not yet shown to be fair in practice.
