Authors: Ramadhani Devy Yuniastuti 
Published: February 2024

A speech act is an action performed when saying something. Without taking into account both the hearers and the speakers, speech acts cannot be properly comprehended. Speech acts are intended for real people, whose capacity for recognition places restrictions on the expressiveness of the lyrics. This research aimed to analyze the speech act classifications and the forms of commissive speech act used in Jermaine Edwards' song "Beautiful Day". This research used a qualitative method. The object of the research was Jermaine Edwards' song "Beautiful Day." The data were collected by using the observational method, followed by listening and note-taking techniques. Then the data were analyzed by using a descriptive approach to describe the types and forms of descriptive speech acts found in the song lyrics. The researcher used the theory of Searle (1969) to analyze the speech act classifications and the forms of commissive speech acts. After analyzing the data, it was found five types of speech acts: representative, declarative, directive, expressive, and commissive. The forms of commissive speech act in the song "Beautiful Day" by Jermaine Edwards were promise, warn, and threat.
Can International Business Perspective Measure Sustainable Development of BRICS Countries? A Panel Data Analysis
Authors: Chowdhury Piyali Roy , Ghosal Indrajit , Arora Monika 
Published: February 2024

The level of international business is highly dependent on the numerous macroeconomic and sustainable development factors that play their respective roles in defining a developing nation's economic progress. While examining the long-term growth of an economy, the consistency of the performance of the various elements in terms of their sustainability is a crucial matter to investigate. Moreover, it is known that the sustainable development of an economy is strongly associated with environmental impacts. Finally, the focus on new development patterns must be the highest concern for emerging economies. Considering this, the current study speculates on the relationship between foreign direct investment and the interaction effect of carbon emissions and poverty with control variables such as per capita income and education in BRICS economies. It concentrates on panel data ranging from 1993 to 2019 to explore the association among the said variables. It identifies the unique and definite macroeconomic parameters that are crucial for encouraging foreign direct investment in different countries. Applying the Panel Auto Regressive Distributed Lag Model, the study finds a positive interaction effect between carbon emissions and poverty that focuses on improving foreign direct investment in the long run. In the short run, an increase in per capita income always proves that BRICS will demonstrate less dependence on FDI net flows. The study also concentrates on the unit root measurement of the data by applying Panel Unit Root Test. Finally, to check the direction of causality, Pairwise Dumitrescu Hurlin Panel Causality Tests have been performed. The most recent update from these countries demonstrates that the strategy for achieving future sustainable economic growth is clear and swift. Hence, it emphasises the requirement of separate and exclusive policy-making to promote long-term sustainable economic growth in BRICS.

In Niger, diseases linked to poor WASH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) practices are one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality among children under five.
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between WASH and morbidity and the nutritional status of children aged 0 to 59 months in the rural island commune of Wogo de Sinder, located in the Tillabéry region in the West. of Niger.
This cross-sectional descriptive study involved a representative and random sample of mothers of children aged 0 to 59 months. A questionnaire was completed through a structured interview. The data were collected with ODK software and then analysed with SPSS and Epi Info version 7.2.
A total of 250 mothers were enrolled. The study shows that most mothers surveyed used surface water (90%) for drinking water, while 10% used groundwater. Around 49.2% of mothers said that their home is on the banks of the river, compared to 36.8% who lived less than 30 minutes away. Their main water storage containers are jars and buckets, with 42.4% and 36.6%, respectively. Among the respondents, 40.4% did not practice any water treatment, 53.2% filtered the water with a cloth, and 6.4% treated the water with bleach. Only 21.6% of mothers washed their hands with soap after using the toilet or feeding the infant. About 72% of households did not have a latrine. Wasting, underweight and stunted growth affected 31.2%, 41.6%, and 43.2% of children whose mothers did not wash their hands with soap. Morbidity affected 35.2% of children whose mothers used surface water for drinking water.
WASH knowledge and practices remain inadequate in the rural commune of Sinder and negatively affect the nutritional and health status of children under 5.

Published: February 2024

Aim: Fermentation subject microbial cells to stress, such as, acid stress which can lead to inactivation of cells and consequently death. Microbial cells have developed mechanisms of adapting to these stress conditions. In this study therefore, the physiological and proteomic responses of Lactiplantibacillus plantarumLC03 and Candida glabrataYC02 to acid stress and their influence on substrate fermentation for Gari production has been investigated.
Methodology: Using the turbidimetry method and SDS-PAGE; LC-MS/MS, the physiological and proteomic responses of the LAB and yeast to acid stress were assessed. Analysis of the physiocochemical and organoleptic properties of the fermented cassava using the LAB and yeast alone and in combination was conducted by means of standard methods.
Results: Lactiplantibacillus plantarumLC03 and Candida glabrataYC02 had growth at pH 1, 2 and pH 3 respectively with an increased protein intensity of Type I glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and enolase 2 respectively. The lowest cyanide content (6.49d), highest protein content (0.94c) and improved organoleptic acceptability (7.92a) was observed in Gari produced with the combination of Lactiplantibacillus plantarumLC03 and Candida glabrataYC02 as starters with significant differences in Gari produced with single starters of Lactiplantibacillus plantarumLC03 and Candida glabrataYC02 and control.
Conclusion: Increased protein intensity during acid stress conditions enhanced the survival of Lactiplantibacillus plantarumLC03 and Candida glabrataYC02 (starters), thereby, improving the quality (improved sensory properties, nutritional and reduced anti-nutrient contents) of Gari produced.
Improving the performance of one column analogs to SMBs
Authors: Abunasser N. , Wankat P. C. 
Published: April 2006

AbstractA simple unmixed reservoir was developed for the one column chromatograph with recycle analogous to an SMB (Analog) to replace mixed tanks or a complicated unmixed reservoir. Separation of the 1,1′ bi‐2‐naphthol enantiomers was studied. In the linear range the purity index (PI) of the Analog with mixed tanks is 87.5, PI = 94.8 for the unmixed reservoir Analog, and PI = 96.9 for the SMB. SMB scaling rules, extended to Analogs, are used to increase the product purities of the unmixed reservoir Analog to match SMB purities but with lower productivity. Then productivity is increased at constant purity by operating at the maximum allowable pressure drop (15 bar) in each step. After scaling, the unmixed reservoir Analog's productivity was higher than the productivity of a standard SMB (one recycle pump) at the same purities (PI = 96.9), and the mixed tanks Analog's productivity was 3.5 times higher than the standard SMB, but with a significantly lower purity. © 2006 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2006

AbstractObjectiveMiller‐Dieker syndrome (MDS) is a malformation of cortical development that results in lissencephaly (meaning smooth brain). This disorder is caused by heterozygous deletions on chromosome 17p13.3, including the lissencephaly 1 (LIS1) gene. Various mouse models have been used as an experimental paradigm in understanding human lissencephaly, but clear limitations exist in these studies, particularly because mice are naturally lissencephalic. Thus, the objective of this article was to establish human neural precursor cell lines from postmortem MDS tissue and to characterize the pathological cellular processes that contribute to the human lissencephalic phenotype.MethodsHuman neural precursors were isolated and expanded from the frontal cortices of a 33‐week postmortem fetus with MDS and an age‐matched control subject. Relative rates of proliferation and cell death were assessed in vitro, whereas the migration of precursors was examined after transplantation in vivo.ResultsPrecursors showed haploinsufficiency of the LIS1 gene and a reduction in LIS1 protein. Precursors could also differentiate into both neurons and glia. MDS precursors demonstrated impairments in neuronal migration, diminished rates of cell proliferation, and increased cell death.InterpretationThese results suggest that, in addition to migration, disruption in cell proliferation could play a more important role in the development of lissencephaly than previously suspected.

Published: April 2006

AbstractThe relationship between the morphology and the mechanical properties of nanostructured blends, comprising an asymmetric styrene/butadiene star block copolymer, exhibiting cocontinuous‐like morphology and low molar mass homopolymers, was studied by electron microscopy, microindentation hardness, and tensile testing methods. Results show that the deformation behavior of these systems is significantly modified by the presence of unentangled homopolymer chains, leading partly to a decrease in mechanical properties. In contrast to common polymer blends, in which usually, the hardness values do not markedly deviate from the additivity law, theH‐values in the system investigated show large deviations from the linear additivity behavior. The observed anomalous behavior is discussed in terms of the enhanced local flow processes induced by the phase‐separated morphology at a nanometer scale. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Low‐density polyethylene/silica compound modified asphalts with high‐temperature storage stability
Authors: Ouyang Chunfa , Wang Shifeng , Zhang Yong , Zhang Yinxi 
Published: April 2006

AbstractLow‐density polyethylene (LDPE) modified asphalts with improved high‐temperature storage stability are prepared by incorporating silica into the LDPE compounds. The effect of silica on the high‐temperature storage stabilities, dynamic rheological and mechanical properties, and morphologies of the modified asphalts are studied. It is found that the LDPE/silica ratio in the compound has a great effect on the high‐temperature storage stability. The modified asphalts are stable when the ratio of LDPE/silica is around 100/60 (w/w). The silica content in the modified asphalts is less than 3.2%, and it has a slight influence on the mechanical properties of the modified asphalts. Silica can improve the rheological properties of the modified asphalt to some extent. The high‐temperature storage stability can be increased by a decreasing density difference between the LDPE/silica compound and the asphalt or in terms of equalizing the polarity differences between asphalt and LDPE by silica. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Authors: Mičušík Matej , Omastová Mária , Prokeš Jan , Krupa Igor 
Published: April 2006

AbstractHighly pure cellulose fibers were coated with polypyrrole (PPy) and subsequently used for preparation of composites, which reached a certain level of electrical conductivity. The cellulose fibers surface was entirely covered when 20 wt % of pyrrole was used for the modification, as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The cellulose fibers covered with PPy were kneaded with thermoplastic matrices: linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE), high‐density polyethylene (HDPE), and polycaprolactone (PCL). The highest electrical conductivity achieved was for composites based on the PCL matrix. PCL filled with 50 wt % of conducting cellulose fibers reached an electrical conductivity of 6.5 × 10−4 S cm−1. This electrical conductivity falls within the range required for antistatic materials. The mechanical properties of HDPE, LLDPE, and PCL matrices loaded with both treated and untreated cellulose fibers were also investigated. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan blend membranes for pervaporation of benzene/cyclohexane mixtures
Authors: Lu Lianyu , Peng Fubing , Jiang Zhongyi , Wang Jianghui 
Published: April 2006

AbstractPoly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan (PVA/CS) blend membranes were prepared by mixing the two polymeric homogeneous solutions. The interaction between PVA and chitosan arising from hydrogen bond was analyzed through intrinsic viscosity determination and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, and there existed an incompatibility region in the blend membranes when chitosan content was 50 wt %. X‐ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the crystalline structure of PVA and chitosan was disrupted through blending. The incompatibility of two polymers and disrupted crystalline structure led to a less compact structure. The blend membranes were used to pervaporative separation of benzene/cyclohexane (Bz/Chx) mixtures. The effects of chitosan content in blend membranes, weight fraction of benzene in feed, and operating temperature on separation performance of Bz/Chx mixtures were investigated. Compared with pure PVA and pure chitosan membranes, blend membranes showed much higher permeation flux and slightly higher benzene permselectivity. As the weight fraction of benzene in feed increased, separation factor decreased but total permeation flux increased. And it was observed that total permeation flux increased and separation factor decreased with increasing operating temperature. The total permeation flux of blend membrane with 50 wt % chitosan was 51.41 g/(m2 h) and separation factor was 49.9 for Bz/Chx mixtures with 50 wt % of benzene at 323 K. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Resin II: Thermal degradation studies of terpolymer resins derived from 2,2′‐dihydroxybiphenyl, urea, and formaldehyde
Authors: Jadhao Manjusha M. , Paliwal L. J. , Bhave N. S. 
Published: April 2006

AbstractThe terpolymer resins have been synthesized by the condensation of 2,2′‐dihydroxybiphenyl with urea and formaldehyde in the presence of 2M HCl as a catalyst and with varying molar proportions of reactants. Elemental analysis, IR, NMR and UV–Visible spectral study, and TGA–DTA analysis characterized the resins. The number average molecular weight was determined by nonaqueous conductometric titrations. Thermal studies of the resins have been carried out to determine their mode of decomposition, activation energy, order of reaction, frequency factor, entropy change, free energy, and apparent entropy change. Freeman–Carroll and Sharp–Wentworth methods have been applied for the calculation of kinetic parameters, while the data from Freeman–Carroll method have been used to determine various thermodynamic parameters. The order of thermal stabilities of terpolymers has been determined using TGA. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 227–232, 2006
Biogenic silica short fibers as alternative reinforcing fillers of silicone rubbers
Authors: Silva V. P. , Gonçalves M. C. , Yoshida I. V. P. 
Published: April 2006

AbstractThe performance of biogenic opaline silica short fibers, natural (NF) or modified with vinyltrimethoxysilane (MF), as primary or secondary fillers in an elastomeric matrix of poly(dimethylsiloxane), PDMS, was evaluated in this work. Compounding was carried out on a two‐roll mill, and the PDMS matrix was peroxide crosslinked by compression molding. Characterization of these fibers was performed by BET surface area, X‐ray fluorescence, infrared spectrum, X‐ray diffractometry, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and Bayer's test. The obtained rubbers were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, field emission scanning electron microscopy, swelling measurements in cyclohexane, dynamic mechanical analysis, and tensile tests. As primary filler, NF and MF increased the thermal stability of the PDMS matrix, and MF also restricted the swelling of this matrix in cyclohexane. For the rubbers containing NF or MF as secondary filler, the swelling restriction was caused by both fibers. Silica short fibers were also efficient as primary filler in PDMS with regard to Young's modulus and tensile strength, and as secondary filler, NF and MF were effective reinforcing fillers in relation to storage and Young's modulus, resulting on an increase in the stiffness of the rubbers. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and characterization of conducting poly(diphenylamine) entrapped polyurethane network electrolyte
Authors: Santhosh P. , Gopalan A. , Vasudevan T. , Lee Kwang‐Pill 
Published: April 2006

AbstractComposites of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with poly(diphenylamine) (PDPA) were prepared by entrapping diphenylamine (DPA) molecules into the matrix of TPU and polymerizing DPA within the TPU matrix. Swelling rate of the parent TPU and the composites in 1M LiClO4 in propylene carbonate solution were compared to understand the influence of the presence of PDPA in the composite in altering the morphology, conductivity, and electrolyte behavior. The nitrogen atoms in the PDPA interact and are likely to form hydrogen bonding with the carbonyl and ether groups in TPU. As a result, different morphology, thermal, and impedance behavior were witnessed for the composites in comparison to TPU. Results from differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis, and ac impedance measurements were obtained as supporting evidences. An increase in glass transition temperature for the composite in comparison to TPU infers the increase in phase mixing of soft and hard segment of TPU. The SEM micrograph shows the presence of fibrillar morphology of PDPA molecules in the composite. The ionic conductivity of the swelled composite was 1‐fold higher than that of pure TPU. A schematic representation showing the interaction of PDPA molecules with TPU is presented. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 611–617, 2006
Synthesis and characterization of new hyperbranched polymers with only inner functional groups modified
Authors: Li Ming , Yang Xiaohui , Liu Yunhang , Wang Xinling 
Published: April 2006

AbstractThe novel core‐shell polymers were synthesized based on the perfluoroalkyls grafting onto the inner hydroxyl groups of hyperbranched polyglycidol while the outer hydroxyl groups remained unaffected. The samples were characterized with FTIR, NMR, element analysis, and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. The various results obtained by different measurements are in good agreements. The conversion ratio of inner hydroxyl groups is about 0.3 and most functionalizations took place in linear 1,4‐units (L1–4). Differential Scanning Calorimetry results suggest the samples are amorphous within the experiment range. Their inner lipophilicity and outer hydrophilism resulted from their unique structures are expected to gain promising applications. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 317–322, 2006
