 | | | | Cellulose nanofiber isolation from palm oil Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) through strong acid hydrolysis The palm oil industry produces about 25-26% of palm oil empty fruit bunches. The empty fruit bunch of palm oil contains cellulose up to 36.67%. This is a good opportunity for the synthesis ofcellulose nanofiber (CNF). Cellulose nanofiber is a nano-sized cellulose material that has unique physical and mechanical properties. The synthesis was performed using a strong acid method with sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid removes the amorphous region of cellulose so that the crystalline part can be isolated. CNF yield measurement showed that temperature, time, acid concentration, and interaction... |

| Biodegradability of oil palm cellulose-based bioplastics This study investigated biodegradation of the bioplastic composite based on oil palm cellulose in plantation soil as natural inoculum. The biodegradation rate was evaluated as carbon dioxide released during the biodegradation test. Biodegradation test of the bioplastic compared with starch-based bioplastic and conventional plastic samples were conducted in the glass jar for 45 days. The carbon dioxide generated from the biodegradation process absorbed by 0.1 N sodium hydroxide solutions. The carbon dioxide was titrated with 0.1 N HCl and using phenolphthalein followed by methyl orange as... |

| G.Preyer.ed.Beyond.Semantics.and.Pragmatics.Cover.pdf The study of meaning in language embraces a diverse range of problems and methods. Philosophers think through the relationship between language and the world; linguists document speakers' knowledge of meaning; psychologists investigate the mechanisms of understanding and production. Up through the early 2000s, these investigations were generally compartmentalized: indeed, researchers often regarded both the subject-matter and the methods of other disciplines with skepticism. Since then, however, there has been a sea change in the field, enabling researchers increasingly to synthesize the... |

| Theolgical Refugees in Oxford After the outbreak of the First World War, the Serbian Orthodox Church decided that the seminarians from St Sava's Theological Seminary in Belgrade should leave for fear of Austro-Hungarian troops, who captured the city in late 1915. One group fled to Russia (to St Petersburg, later moving to Simferopol [Crimea]); another escaped to France (Paris, Nice). Eventually most of them congregated in Marseille before going to the United Kingdom in 1916. Some 55 seminarians took refuge at the colleges in Cuddesdon and Dorchester as well as St Stephen's House in Oxford. They were accompanied by a... |

| A Colloquy on Violence and Non-Violence: Towards A Complementary Conflict Resolution In conflict resolution discourse the two challenging and contrasting concepts, violence and non-violence, are often presented as opposites and contradictory. On the basis of this, one is affirmed against the other. In this article, we aimed to present violence and non-violence as complementary phenomena toward a complementary process of conflict resolution. The objective was to provide an analysis to show that the two concepts can contribute meaningfully to conflict management and resolution. To achieve this aim and objective, we highlighted their significance as methods of resolving and... |
