Perception of Interdialectal Accommodation by Sellers and Buyers in Sasak: A Sociolinguistic Perspective

This research focuses on the strategy of communication which was used by the speakers of two different dialects between meriaq-meriku vs meno-mene in Sasak language, especially amongst sellers-buyers in markets domain in central Lombok West Nusa Tenggara. The data were recorded at four markets where the speakers of two different dialects meet. This current result reveals the effective strategy in communication by accommodating each other (sellers-buyers). Further, it elucidates the accommodation pattern strategy in two different dialects which are commonly used by the sellers-buyers in doing transactions. The current researchers composed the data through the interview, direct observation, and recording or note-taking. The method used to reveal the phenomenon is a qualitative method and interpreted the data to meet the qualified result of research. Therefore, the result shows that applying inter-dialectal accommodation is effective.

Marginalized Groups of Gelada (Theropithecus gelada) Living in and around the Highly Disturbed Mount Guna Community Conservation Area, Northwest Ethiopia

Gelada (Theropithecus gelada) is the only surviving primate of the genus Theropithecus that is endemic to Ethiopia. It adapted to live in afroalpine and subafroalpine ecosystems of the Ethiopian alpine. Although it is at risk of habitat loss due to agricultural expansion and deforestation, gelada has been classified as a least concern by the IUCN. Gelada has great importance as it represents the Ethiopian national treasure which brings tourists to the country. However, no proper gelada census has been carried out in and around Mount Guna (Mt. Guna). Therefore, the current study aimed to provide an accurate count of gelada individuals living in the study area. Total count along line transects was carried out from January 1–May 30, 2018, to estimate the population of gelada. According to the current result, gelada individuals counted from the entire sites of Mt. Guna were estimated to be 56. Forty-two gelada individuals were counted from outside the protected area, while 14 of them were from the protected area. There was a significant difference between gelada individuals counted from inside and outside the protected areas (P = 0.047). The ratio of age-sex of geladas also computed to be adult males: adult females: subadult males: subadult females: immature is 1 : 3.12 : 0.88 : 1.25 : 0.75 for the total population. Furthermore, five groups of geladas were observed outside the Mt. Guna community conservation area at three sites, while only one group of geladas was identified from the protected area. Based on the current result, we recommend further research to study the population trend, fertility problems, and conservation mechanisms of geladas living within the agricultural land and human-gelada conflicts around Mt. Guna.

Pressure-induced boron clathrates with ambient-pressure superconductivity

A pressure-induced boron clathrate LaB8 structure exhibits potential superconductivity of 20 K at ambient pressure. This current result provides a new route to find high-Tc cage superconductors at low-pressures.

Pengaruh Bunting dan Laktasi Terhadap Hematologi dan Mineral Kambing Peranakan Ettawa di Kulonprogo, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

The effects of pregnancy and lactation on hematochemical and mineral parameters were evaluated in Ettawa cross-bred goats in Disctrict Kulonprogo, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Blood plasma samples were collected from 14 th pregnant goats (2 month n=4; 3 month n=6; 4 month n=4) and 16 lactation goats (1 month, n= 4; 2 month, n=5; 3 month, n=3 and 4 month, n=4). Blood serum samples were collected from 18 pregnanct goats (1 month, n=3; 2 month, n=2; 3 month, n=6; 4 month, n=4) and 16 lactation goats (1 month, n=4; 2 month, n=5; 3 month, n=3; 4 month, n=4). The does averaged 2.5-4 years old and their mean body weights were 30-40 kg. The current result showed that pregnant does recorded higher (p<0.05) values of RBCs and hematocrites compared to lactating does. The higher RBCs during the first and third month of pregnantion and the higher hematocrites values during the first of pregnantion. There were not significant differences in MCV, MCH, MCHC, neutrophyls, limphocytes, monocytes, WBCs, eosinophyls, and minerals Mg2+, in organic , Na+, K+ and Cl-during pregnantion and lactation. The results indicated that pregnantion and lactation has significant effect on RBCs and hematocrites of Ettawa crossbred goats in district Disctrict Kulonprogo, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Efficiency of one-on-one play situations of Polish football players and their opponents during European Championships in relation to the playing area, current result and match

Background and Study Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of players of the Polish national football team and their opponents in one-on-one situations (1-on-1) in 9 matches of the group stage of the three subsequent finals of the European Championships in the years 2008, 2012 and 2016. Material and methods. Audiovisual recordings of matches were analysed and game data were collected using the authors' original observation sheet. Activity, effectiveness and reliability of individual offensive and defensive actions were evaluated in terms of current match result, time elapsed and player position on the pitch. Efficiency of one-on-one play situations of 40 Polish players competing in group stages of Euro 2008-2012 was studied. The 20 of Polish National Team players taking part in this study were at the student’s age (19-24 y) during championships and 6 of them were currently students or got a scientific degree. Results. The study reveals that, on average, players engage in 245 1-on-1 duels in a single match and that the best teams demonstrate almost 60% effectiveness in individual defensive actions. While the efficiency of 1-on-1 situations is the highest in the middle stage of both parts of the game and in the defensive zone, it decreases with the lapse of time and in relation with the shift of action towards the opponent's goal. Conlusions. Efficiency in 1-on-1 play determines success in competition and high reliability of individual defensive actions at the level close to 60% is the key differentiator of the winners' style of play.

Achtergronden bij het gebruik van het augment in Homerus

Summary The function of the augment in Homer is a widely discussed issue in Greek linguistics. The traditional view that the Homeric augment is a temporal marker, just like in Classical Greek, has been questioned during the last decades. This article first summarizes the most relevant observations that have been made and evaluates their strengths and weaknesses. First of all, the high frequency of the augment on the aorist in gnomes and similes, but also when the current result of a past action is highlighted, suggests that the augment does not refer to a past event. The type of discourse, moreover, correlates with the frequency of the augment: it is used relatively often in similes and character speech, but not in narrative. This is why the function of the augment has in recent years been interpreted as deictic (Bakker) or pragmatic (Mumm). In our view, metrical considerations and morphological restrictions influence the use of the augment rather heavily, but if that is taken into consideration, a pragmatic function of the augment seems plausible. We illustrate these points and the remaining problems by discussing augment use in three passages from the Iliad.

Perceiving Numbers Affects the Internal Random Movements Generator

According to the evidence of direct relationships among space, numbers, and finger representations, a random movement generation (RMG) task was employed in order to investigate whether numerical exposure can influence the finger selection of healthy humans. To this purpose a group of participants were asked to generate random finger movements during the exposure to several numerical cues. Although participants were explicitly asked to move finger as random as possible, results showed that left-hand fingers were moved more frequently than right-hand fingers when low numerical cues (from 1 to 3) were presented, and,vice versa, right-hand fingers were moved more frequently than left-hand fingers when high numerical cues (ranged from 7 to 9) were presented. The current result suggests that spontaneous actions can be affected by abstract information, providing an evidence that numerical concepts can influence low-level, non-goal-directed behaviours.

MSW IN REVERSE: WHAT SNO SAYS ABOUT PSEUDO-DIRAC NEUTRINOS

I discuss the implications of the SNO neutral current result for the allowed Δm2 values of pseudo-Dirac pairs. In particular, for certain parameter ranges, adiabatic MSW may occur in reverse as solar neutrinos traverse the earth's atmosphere.
