A social trend that should trigger an emotional reaction in Indonesia as a nation

that has enjoyed independence for the past 68 years, is none other than human

trafficking. Indonesia is listed at 114 in the register of this modern form of slavery

with around 220 thousand victims9

. Globally, there are around 29.8 million victims of human trafficking. Indonesia

is one of the 17 source, transit and destination countries, involving criminal

activities such as sex slavery, forced labour and child procurement. This situation

is pretty evenly spread among all of Indonesia’s Provinces.

The roots, the process

and a way forward are highlighted in this brief study.

KEHADIRAN, KESABARAN, KETEKUNAN MISI DALAM SEBUAH PUSAT PERDAGANGAN MANUSIA
Authors: Prior John Mansford
Published: May 2018

This essay looks at human trafficking as the underbelly of an unregulated global

economy. Using data collated by the UN and studies undertaken by independent

research institutes, the global pattern of trafficking is outlined before focusing on

Southeast Asia, a key hub in this modern form of slavery. Key characteristics and

motivations are delineated with reference to UN definitions and legislation in

Southeast Asia. Attention is given to the global need for cheap labour, sex workers

and the widespread trafficking of children. Then, the phenomenon is seen through

the eyes of faith drawing on four key biblical attitudes: upholding human dignity

(protection), reaching to the heart (prevention), naming the sin (prosecution),

and extending Gospel community (partnering).

YUSUF DIJUAL: TANGGUNG JAWAB YEHUDA? Menelisik Kisah Yusuf dan Yehuda dalam Kej 36-50
Authors: Dhogo Petrus Christologus
Published: May 2018

Human trafficking, which has become a serious problem in our time, also existed

centuries ago, especially when slavery was commonly accepted. The Book of Genesis

shares the story of the selling by his brothers of a person named Joseph. Different

from human trafficking these days, the reason for selling Joseph was more about

envy than money. Envy triggered the brothers’ plot to eliminate Joseph from their

family. Whatever the reason, in Egypt Joseph was put on the auction block and

bought and sold as a bill of goods. The Joseph-Judah story tracks the first human

trafficking case in the Bible inviting the reader to be aware of how people are

bought and sold. The sellers –Jospeh’s brothers and especially Judah – do not

want to be known as the culprits. Nobody is willing to admit commiting this

crime, instead, one always pretends to be innocent. Meanwhile Joseph’s identity

is stripped away as the story continues. Human trafficking, always involves the

loss of one’s social networks coupled with elimination of one’s identity.

PEMBONCENG GRATIS GERAKAN REFORMASI DI INDONESIA
Authors: Mirsel Robert
Published: May 2018

Free-rider is one of the problems faced in many social movements. The problem

is with those who benefit much from a social movement while never investing, or

invest very little, into the movement; meanwhile those who invest and sacrifice

much get almost nothing from it. This study is an attempt to explore whether or

not there is a free rider phenomenon in the Reformation Movement in Indonesia.

The findings of studies show that the Reformation Movement did not bring about

significant change for most people in Indonesia except for the free riders: the

politicians, top military officials, and big corporations (entrepreneurs) who were

once part of the previous Suharto Regime. This study suggests that there should

be change in the strategies and tactics of the movement to prevent a free rider

problem and give more opportunities to people at the grassroots to benefit from

the movement.

PANCASILA, DEMOKRASI LIBERAL DAN KOMUNITARISME
Authors: Madung Otto Gusti
Published: May 2018

The domcratisation process which has been pursued by the Indonesian nation

since the reformation era is now caught up in a procedural democracy without the

wellbeing of the people or social justice. Proceduralism is the most basic criticism

of liberal democracy by republicans and communitarians. From a communitarian

perspective, the Pancasila state ideology as the normative base and collective identity

of the Indonesian nation is able to offer a way out of the crisis of liberal democracy

as practised in Indonesia. This essay attempts to show that it is not an effort to

build a democratic order upon procedural ethics as is assumed by liberals, but rather

the need to provide a substantial ethical foundation. This is the case as a democratic

system is not filled with atomistic individuals but with social relationships. A

democratic process always moves within a society shaped by social relationships

and various complex processes for the formation of communities. Democracy is built

upon a collective identity which is formal yet fragile. In the Indonesian context, the

Pancasila is the collective expression the nation’s identity. As a collective identity,

the Pancasila will never be complete, but will always be in a state of becoming

rediscovering itself anew. In the final section, two methods are presented, namely the

method of deliberative and agonistic democracy as a way proposed by contemporary

political philosophy in overcoming conflicts in values in the face of pluralism. The

Pancasila will become the collective identity which animates the people of Indonesia,

only when it is open to a process of rational deliberation in the public sphere and is

ready to be only one alternative in the midst of a competitive discourse.

POLITIK PEMUSNAHAN DAN PEMUSNAHAN POLITIK : Telaah Kritis Atas Konsep Hannah Arendt Tentang Totalitarisme
Authors: Daven Mathias
Published: May 2018

If we wish to understand a totalitarian system as a whole, we need first to understand the central role of the concentration camp as a laboratorium to experiment in total domination. Arendt’s analysis of totalitarianism in the twentieth century shows how a totalitarian regime cannot survive without terror; and terror will not be effective without concentration camps. Experiments in concentration camps had as their purpose, apart from wiping out any freedom or spontaneity, the abolishing of space between human beings, abolishing space for politics. Thus, totalitarianism did not mirror only the politics of extinction, but also the extinction of politics. As a way forward, Arendt analyses political theory that forces the reader to understand power no longer under the rubric of domination or violence – although this avenue is open – but rather under the rubric of freedom. Arendt is convinced that the life of a destroyed nation can be restored by mutual forgiveness and mutual promises, two abilities rooted in action. Political action, as with other acts, is identical with the ability to commence something new.

PEMBUNUHAN DI MAUMERE : Kewarganegaraan Pascapenjajahan
Authors: Klinken Gerry Van
Published: May 2018

This essay examines citizenship struggles in the small Indonesian town of Maumere during two decades of intensive state formation after decolonization in 1945. These struggles culminated in the bloody anticommunist purges of late 1965 and early 1966, which in this area mainly reflected “ethnic” tensions. They should not be seen merely as evidence of a deeply divided society, of elite factional fights over resources, or of state institutions that were too weak to exert effective control over society (though all those observations have some truth as well). Rather they were contentious efforts to establish new forms of public authority in the broad space between state and society.

Novel informal institutions and rituals developed in the interstices between state and society. Christian Lund has called them “twilight institutions”. They all aimed to include ordinary people in public affairs. They were clientelistic, and their rivalry sometimes produced violence. Yet they were essentially about bringing ordinary people into a productive relationship with the new state; that is, they were about citizenship. The greatest irony of the “twilight institutions” is that they only became instruments of total exclusion after the central state began to assert itself decisively also in small provincial towns such as this. The history of “twilight institutions” continues to impress itself on actually existing forms of citizenship in the provinces today.
PARA PELAKU MENCARI PENYEMBUHAN : Berteologi Dengan Narasi Para Pelaku Tragedi ’65 di Timor Barat
Authors: Kolimon Mery
Published: May 2018

Half century after the anti-Communist Tragedy in Indonesia, including East Nusa Tenggara Province, one of the important questions need to be coped with is the impact of the Tragedy to the perpetrators. Some of those who took part in the arrest, persecution, and murder of the victims, are still alive. Because of the taboo of talking about the Tragedy and its impact among Indonesia society, they hide their feeling for nearly 50 years. They hold guilty/sin, shame, and hero feelings at the same time. Their narratives offer us rich theological themes and pastoral challenge. This paper tries to identify the theological themes arose in the narratives of some perpetrators.
BEAR WITNESS: Dua Wacana Tentang Kesaksian Dan Kebenaran
Authors: Nelson Karen Campbell
Published: May 2018

The meaning of testimony and truth play an important role in both a legal/judicial discourse and a religious, particularly Christian discourse. I trace the history of testimony in legal discourse, beginning with the Hammurabi Code and its influence on ancient legal codes of Mesopotamia, including that found in the Pentateuch and continue with a discussion of multiple meanings of testimony in Augustine and French philosopher, Paul Ricœur that begin to lay the groundwork for bridging the two discourses. Contributions from feminist theology, particularly the validation of women’s experience as a source of theology, the role of immanence, and the shift from understandings of power as “power over” to “power with” as well as a transitional justice framework help make the case for dialog between these two discourses so they can enhance and strengthen each other. I include in sections of the article my own narrative to accent the theme of testimony.

KETAKUTAN 1965 SEBAGAI KETAKUTAN MASA KINI: Menelaah Ketakutan Sekuler, Agama dan Supranatural
Authors: Wejak Justin L
Published: May 2018

This paper investigates how Indonesian Catholics living in outlying areas in eastern Indonesia experience fear in relation to the events that have arisen from the massacre of suspected Indonesian communists in 1965. It is concerned with why the Catholic Church created an image of communists as fear-inspiring beings, and how this fear was maintained after the communists had been largely eliminated through the state-sponsored killings of 1965/66. The object of inquiry is a historical document produced in 1967 by the Catholic Church that sought to explain events leading up to 1965. This paper analyses the forces that underlie this fear in terms of the secular fear of communism, the religious fear of Islamic fanaticism, and the supernatural fear of communist ghosts as a result of the killing of communists in 1965. It argues that the fear of 1965 is not a matter of the past but part of the present, an argument that is in accordance with Martin Heidegger’s contention that all fears are concerned with the present.

Calvin dan Humanisme
Authors: Batlajery Agustinus M.L
Published: May 2018

Many researches have been done concerning the contexts and the factors which effected the theology and

character of John Calvin. At least three contemporary scenes should be considered as the dominant context when speaking about Calvin. First, the Rome from which the Reformer seceded; second, the Anabaptists;

and third, the humanists especially Renaissance humanism. This essay looks at the core of Renaissance humanism, namely its emphasis on the Greek and Latin classics as the chief subject of study and as unrivalled models of imitation and in thinking and even in actual conduct. After a brief glance at Calvin’s education, this essay attempts to explain the influence of Christian French humanism on Calvin in his ethics and theology, and its ongoing relevance to our contemporary situation in Indonesia today.

Keywords: Calvin, humanism, classical writings, theology, character, sense of discipline, discipline humaniores

Banyak penelitian telah dilakukan mengenai konteks dan faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap teologi dan karakter Yohanes Calvin. Setidaknya ada tiga hal mendasar yang harus dianggap penting sebagai konteks yang dominan ketika berbicara tentang Calvin. Pertama, Roma dari mana Reformer memisahkan diri; kedua, Anabaptis; dan ketiga, para humanis terutama humanisme Renaisans. Esai ini memperlihatkan inti dari humanisme Renaisans, yang bertitik tolak pada Yunani dan Latin klasik sebagai model tak tertandingi mengenai imitasi, hal berpikir, dan perilaku aktual.

ETIKA MENGINGAT BAGI BANGSA PELUPA
Authors: Pakpahan Binsar J.
Published: May 2018

Indonesians have the tendency to forget their problems as

a way of solving them. The main question to be explored in this paper

is who has the task to remember, and what to remember. Forgetfulness

is thought to come from several factors: language, the manner one

accepts things that happened, and as an escape from problems that are

considered unsolveable. Memory has become a political commodity

when it is remembered or forgotten for certain goals. Nevertheless, to

remember is better than to forget in terms of dealing with the painful

past. Remembering is our responsibility to hear the voice of the victims

of history, so that tragic history will not repeat itself. Some Indonesian

ethnic groups have shown that they have a basis for remembrance in

their culture and we can use this as a basis for communal remembrance

in dealing with the painful past.

Abstract: One crucial problem that has not yet been solved is

the eradication of hunger, despite the fact that our world is able

to produce sufficient food for each and every inhabitant of the

earth. In various parts of the world food is more than abundant,

indeed it is so abundant that it is degraded as waste and thrown

away. Throwing food away is clearly immoral in a world where

hundreds of millions go hungry each day. It is time for such

negative behaviour be eliminated. Food is life and everyone has a

On the Bending Analysis of Multi-Cracked Slender Beams with Continuous Height Variations
Authors: Skrinar Matjaž , Imamovic Denis
Published: May 2018

We studied the implementation of a multi-stepped multi-cracked beam finite element for analysing beams of various heights’ variations along the length. The genuine continuous variation of height was modelled by an adequate series of steps and for the cracks, the model of internal hinges endowed with rotational springs was applied. As the increased number of steps simultaneously increases the possibility that the crack location and step location may coincide, the continuous conditions at the steps were rewritten to a more general form in order to cover this combination. The newly presented form is also capable of taking a transverse concentrated force into account. Numerical evaluations were performed for several structures under various loads and the transverse displacements, nodal reactions, and inner forces were studied. The results obtained are positioned side by side with the results from more detailed 2D finite element meshes. The comparisons show excellent matching of the beam’s response providing the mesh of steps was dense enough. The examples demonstrate the potential of the present approach proving that the model is suitable for achieving computationally-efficient and truthful analyses.

Wilson’s Disease (WD) is a rare, autosomal recessive, inborn error of copper metabolism, which is caused by a mutation in the copper-transporting gene, ATP7B. The presentation is usually neurologic or hepatic or both, which is seen in 40% of the patients. The diagnosis depends primarily on the clinical features, the biochemical parameters and the presence of the Kayser – Fleischer ring. Here, we are reporting a 13 years old girl who was affected by Wilson’s disease, with both neurological manifestations & hepatic involvement.Bangladesh Crit Care J March 2018; 6(1): 57-59
Congenital heart diseases: A review of echocardiogram records

Published: May 2018

Congenital heart defect (CHD) means an anatomic malformation of the heart or great vessels which occurs during intrauterine development, irrespective of the age at presentation. They can disrupt the normal blood flow through the heart. The blood flow can slow down, go in the wrong direction or to the wrong place, or be blocked completely. Broadly congenital heart defects can be acyanotic and cyanotic. We have reviewed retrospectively from echocardiogram record nearly two years of period & collected total 404 patients with congenital heart defects. Among them 329 (81.43%) was acyanotic and 75 (18.57%) was cyanotic congenital defects with variety of diagnosis. Ventricular septal defect was the most common acyanotic heart defect and Tetralogy of Fallot was the most common cyanotic heart defect. There was no significant gender deference.KYAMC Journal Vol. 9, No.-1, April 2018, Page 35-38
Kaempferol Suppresses Proliferation and Induces Cell Cycle Arrest, Apoptosis, and DNA Damage in Breast Cancer Cells
Authors: Zhu Li , Xue Lijun
Published: May 2018

Kaempferol is a flavonoid that has been extensively investigated owing to its antitumor effects. Nevertheless, little is known about its underlying mechanisms of action. We aimed to explore the role of kaempferol in breast cancer (BC), and thus we investigated how kaempferol suppresses
the growth of BC cells. The cells were treated with kaempferol, and the effects on multiple cancer-associated pathways were evaluated. The MTS assay was used to study the cell growth inhibition induced by kaempferol. The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. Western blotting was used
to analyze cellular apoptosis and DNA damage. We found that the proliferation of the triple-negative BC (TNBC) MDA-MB-231 cells was suppressed effectively by kaempferol. Interestingly, the suppressive effect of kaempferol on cell proliferation was stronger in MDA-MB-231 cells than in the estrogen
receptor-positive BT474 cell line. Furthermore, after the treatment with kaempferol for 48 h, the population of cells in the G1 phase was significantly reduced, from 85.48% to 51.35%, and the population of cells in the G2 phase increased markedly from 9.27% to 37.5%,
which indicated that kaempferol contributed to the induction of G2/M arrest. Kaempferol also induced apoptosis and DNA damage in MDA-MB-231 cells. Kaempferol increased the expression levels of γH2AX, cleaved caspase 9, cleaved caspase 3, and p-ATM compared to those of the
control group. Collectively, these results showed that kaempferol may be a potential drug for the effective treatment of TNBC.
Forecasting the Contribution of Polarized Extragalactic Radio Sources in CMB Observations

Published: May 2018

We combine the latest data sets obtained with different surveys to study the frequency dependence of polarized emission coming from extragalactic radio sources (ERS). We consider data over a very wide frequency range starting from 1.4 GHz up to 217 GHz. This range is particularly interesting since it overlaps the frequencies of the current and forthcoming cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. Current data suggest that at high radio frequencies (ν ≥ 20 GHz) the fractional polarization of ERS does not depend on the total flux density. Conversely, recent data sets indicate a moderate increase of polarization fraction as a function of frequency, physically motivated by the fact that Faraday depolarization is expected to be less relevant at high radio frequencies. We compute ERS number counts using updated models based on recent data, and we forecast the contribution of unresolved ERS in CMB polarization spectra. Given the expected sensitivities and the observational patch sizes of forthcoming CMB experiments, about ∼200 (up to ∼2000) polarized ERS are expected to be detected. Finally, we assess that polarized ERS can contaminate the cosmological B-mode polarization if the tensor-to-scalar ratio is <0.05 and they have to be robustly controlled to de-lens CMB B-modes at the arcminute angular scales.
Constraints on Short, Hard Gamma-Ray Burst Beaming Angles from Gravitational Wave Observations
Authors: Williams D. , Clark J. A. , Williamson A. R. , Heng I. S.
Published: May 2018

The first detection of a binary neutron star merger, GW170817, and an associated short gamma-ray burst confirmed that neutron star mergers are responsible for at least some of these bursts. The prompt gamma-ray emission from these events is thought to be highly relativistically beamed. We present a method for inferring limits on the extent of this beaming by comparing the number of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) observed electromagnetically with the number of neutron star binary mergers detected in gravitational waves. We demonstrate that an observing run comparable to the expected Advanced LIGO (aLIGO) 2016–2017 run would be capable of placing limits on the beaming angle of approximately

We present 5–28 μm SOFIA FORECAST spectroscopy complemented by panchromatic X-ray through infrared observations of the CO nova V5668 Sgr documenting the formation and destruction of dust during ∼500 days following outburst. Dust condensation commenced by 82 days after outburst at a temperature of ∼1090 K. The condensation temperature indicates that the condensate was amorphous carbon. There was a gradual decrease of the grain size and dust mass during the recovery phase. Absolute parameter values given here are for an assumed distance of 1.2 kpc. We conclude that the maximum mass of dust produced was 1.2 × 10−7
M
⊙ if the dust was amorphous carbon. The average grain radius grew to a maximum of ∼2.9 μm at a temperature of ∼720 K around day 113 when the shell visual optical depth was τ
v ∼ 5.4. Maximum grain growth was followed by a period of grain destruction. X-rays were detected with Swift from day 95 to beyond day 500. The Swift X-ray count rate due to the hot white dwarf peaked around day 220, when its spectrum was that of a kT = 35 eV blackbody. The temperature, together with the supersoft X-ray turn-on and turn-off times, suggests a white dwarf mass of ∼1.1 M
⊙. We show that the X-ray fluence was sufficient to destroy the dust. Our data show that the post-dust event X-ray brightening is not due to dust destruction, which certainly occurred, as the dust is optically thin to X-rays.
Observing and Modeling the Gamma-Ray Emission from Pulsar/Pulsar Wind Nebula Complex PSR J0205+6449/3C 58

Published: May 2018

We present the results of the analysis of eight years of Fermi-LAT data of the pulsar/pulsar wind nebula complex PSR J0205+6449/3C 58. Using a contemporaneous ephemeris, we carried out a detailed analysis of PSR J0205+6449 both during its off-peak and on-peak phase intervals. 3C 58 is significantly detected during the off-peak phase interval. We show that the spectral energy distribution at high energies is the same disregarding the phases considered, and thus that this part of the spectrum is most likely dominated by the nebula radiation. We present results of theoretical models of the nebula and the magnetospheric emission that confirm this interpretation. Possible high-energy flares from 3C 58 were searched for, but none were unambiguously identified.

We present a catalog of 10,718 objects in the COSMOS field, observed through multi-slit spectroscopy with the Deep Imaging Multi-Object Spectrograph (DEIMOS) on the Keck II telescope in the wavelength range ∼5500–9800 Å. The catalog contains 6617 objects with high-quality spectra (two or more spectral features), and 1798 objects with a single spectroscopic feature confirmed by the photometric redshift. For 2024 typically faint objects, we could not obtain reliable redshifts. The objects have been selected from a variety of input catalogs based on multi-wavelength observations in the field, and thus have a diverse selection function, which enables the study of the diversity in the galaxy population. The magnitude distribution of our objects is peaked at I
AB ∼ 23 and K
AB ∼ 21, with a secondary peak at K
AB ∼ 24. We sample a broad redshift distribution in the range 0 < z < 6, with one peak at z ∼ 1, and another one around z ∼ 4. We have identified 13 redshift spikes at z > 0.65 with chance probabilities < 4 × 10−4, some of which are clearly related to protocluster structures of sizes >10 Mpc. An object-to-object comparison with a multitude of other spectroscopic samples in the same field shows that our DEIMOS sample is among the best in terms of fraction of spectroscopic failures and relative redshift accuracy. We have determined the fraction of spectroscopic blends to about 0.8% in our sample. This is likely a lower limit and at any rate well below the most pessimistic expectations. Interestingly, we find evidence for strong lensing of Lyα background emitters within the slits of 12 of our target galaxies, increasing their apparent density by about a factor of 4.
Around the Way: Testing ΛCDM with Milky Way Stellar Stream Constraints
Authors: Dai Biwei , Robertson Brant E. , Madau Piero
Published: May 2018

Recent analyses of the Pal 5 and GD-1 tidal streams suggest that the inner dark matter halo of the Milky Way is close to spherical, in tension with predictions from collisionless N-body simulations of cosmological structure formation. We use the Eris simulation to test whether the combination of dissipative physics and hierarchical structure formation can produce Milky Way–like galaxies whose dark matter halos match the tidal stream constraints from the GD-1 and Pal 5 clusters. We use a dynamical model of the simulated Eris galaxy to generate many realizations of the GD-1 and Pal 5 tidal streams, marginalize over observational uncertainties in the cluster galactocentric positions and velocities, and compare with the observational constraints. We find that the total density and potential of Eris contributed by baryons and dark matter satisfies constraints from the existing Milky Way stellar stream data, as the baryons both round and redistribute the dark matter during the dissipative formation of the galaxy, and provide a centrally concentrated mass distribution that rounds the inner potential. The Eris dark matter halo or a spherical Navarro–Frenk–White dark matter work comparably well in modeling the stream data. In contrast, the equivalent dark matter–only ErisDark simulation produces a prolate halo that cannot reproduce the observed stream data. The ongoing Gaia mission will provide decisive tests of the consistency between

and Milky Way streams, and should distinguish between models like Eris and more spherical halos.

Em especial queremos investigar o modo como as fotografias são apresentadas e a validade do seu uso para a experimentação em Química, quando elas vêm acompanhando os textos referentes à condução dos experimentos. Após selecionar todos os experimentos presentes em todos os volumes das quatro coleções do PNLD foi realizada a análise dos textos e das imagens, considerando a definição de categorias de análise. Esses dados foram quantificados e tabelados para a análise de acordo com as categorias. Os resultados indicam que os autores não priorizam a utilização da fotografia como meio de observar fenômenos e analisar etapas de um experimento. Foi observado que a fotografia é utilizada apenas para ilustrar uma etapa do experimento, não fazendo parte do processo mais elaborado de ensino e aprendizagem. Dessa maneira, aponta-se a necessidade de os autores de livros didáticos considerarem a fotografia científica como recurso pedagógico, visto que esta pode contribuir para a compreensão do conhecimento científico.

O tratamento de água mais tradicionalmente utilizado emprega sais de alumínio como coagulantes primários. Contudo, vários estudos apontam que estes coagulantes químicos podem trazer riscos à saúde, como o Mal de Alzheimer. Sendo assim, a utilização de polímeros naturais se apresenta como uma alternativa promissora para substituir os coagulantes químicos. Neste trabalho, o tempo de mistura lenta foi avaliado na aplicação do polímero natural de Moringa Oleifera Lam como coagulante primário, em conjunto com o polímero natural do quiabo (Abelmoschus esculentus) como auxiliar de floculação. Os resultados obtidos indicam que esta combinação alcança 52% e 60,9% de remoção para cor e turbidez, respectivamente, no tempo de mistura lenta de 10 minutos.

O regulamento técnico de identidade e qualidade de leites fermentados (IN 46, de 23 de outubro de 2007) os define como produtos obtidos por fermentação láctica por ação de cultivos de microrganismos específicos. Dentre eles se destacam as bactérias probióticas que podem ser usadas no preparo de leites fermentados. O objetivo desse trabalho foi verificar a conformidade de diferentes marcas de leites fermentados encontrados no comércio de Sete Lagoas – MG.Amostras de sete diferentes marcas de leites fermentados em embalagens originais comercializados no município foram submetidas às análises microbiológicas de bactérias ácido-láticas totais (BAL) e análises de pH e acidez titulável. As amostras A, B, D e E apresentaram contagens de BAL viáveis durante todo prazo de validade, o que não ocorreu com as amostras C, F e H. A amostra F não apresentou crescimento de BAL durante todo o experimento. Conclui-se que existem muitos produtos no mercado fora do estabelecido pela legislação.

O objetivo deste estudo foi de avaliar as características físico-químicas de formulações de néctares misto de suco de uva e bebida de gengibre e realizar testes sensoriais para selecionar a formulação com melhor aceitação sensorial. Três formulações foram preparadas nas proporções de 70/30; 50/50 e 30/70, respectivamente, para o suco de uva integral e bebida de gengibre. Foram realizadas análises físico-químicas de pH, sólidos solúveis totais, acidez total titulável, açucares redutores e totais e compostos fenólicos. Para as análises microbiológicas, realizou-se determinação de coliformes a 35 °C (UFC/mL) e bolores e leveduras. A avaliação sensorial teve a participação de 60 provadores não treinados e o produto foi avaliado quanto aos atributos de cor, aparência, aroma, corpo, sabor, doçura, acidez e impressão global em escala hedônica de 9 pontos. A atitude de compra foi avaliada mediante escala de 5 pontos. Os resultados das análises microbiológicas foram satisfatórios, com ausência de coliformes totais e fecais. Os parâmetros físico-químicos apresentaram-se coerentes para néctares mistos. O néctar misto com proporção de 70% de suco de uva integral e 30% de bebida de gengibre, apresentou maior índice de aceitabilidade para todos os atributos sensoriais, e bom desempenho para atitude de compra do produto. Portanto, esta formulação demonstra alto potencial para o mercado de néctares mistos.
Steps to Achieve Universal Suicide Screening in Emergency Departments: A Call to Action
Authors: Heyland Michelle , Delaney Kathleen R. , Shattell Mona
Published: May 2018

American individuals attempt suicide at alarmingly high rates of approximately 1.1 million times per year. Yet the United States has failed to adopt a systematic approach to suicide prevention, particularly via universal screening. Given the increasing number of individuals with suicidal ideation presenting to emergency departments (EDs), all patients who present to the ED for treatment should be screened, as opposed to only individuals with mental health complaints. In the current article, barriers to suicide screening in the ED are discussed, as well as strategies to move ED providers toward the goal of universal screening. The current article entreats nurses to be leaders in achieving universal screening and provides practical actions to begin the process. Specific recommendations for action include improving training, increasing lethal means assessment, and achieving compliance with The Joint Commission suicide screening guidelines. [

Improving Nursing Confidence and Consistency in Assessment of Opioid Withdrawal: Efficacy of Simulation and Debriefing
Authors: Corrigan Deborah , Mix Richard L. , Palmer Glen A. , Olson Stephen A.
Published: May 2018

The purpose of the current study was to determine if the amount of confidence in completing the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS) varied among participants and whether consistency in scoring outcomes to patients occurred with COWS assessment among groups assigned to simulation and debriefing conditions. Sixty nursing staff were randomized into three groups: (a) scenario; (b) scenario and simulation; and (c) scenario, simulation, and debriefing. Staff were administered a questionnaire to assess their confidence before (i.e., pretreatment) and after (i.e., posttreatment) the simulation exercise and at 30-day follow up. The COWS assessment tool was completed by nursing staff during treatment and follow-up sessions. Significant improvements in confidence were found in all three treatment conditions. Highest consistency in scoring outcomes of the COWS to patients was found with the scenario, simulation, and debriefing condition. All participants reported having increased confidence completing the COWS. The amount of confidence among groups was not significant. Although nursing confidence did not differ among groups, increased scoring outcome reliability was found in groups using simulation and debriefing. [

Published: May 2018

Son yıllarda teknolojik gelişmelerle birlikte internet kişisel yaşamın ve iş yaşamının vazgeçilmez bir parçası olmuştur. Buna göre akademisyenler sanal kaytarmayı işyerindeki sapkın davranışlardan biri olarak tanıtmış ve sanal kaytarmayı çalışma saatleri içerisinde çalışanların interneti işle ilgili olmayan amaçlar için kullanması olarak tanımlamıştır. Sanal kaytarma faaliyetleri arasında kişisel e-postaları kontrol etme, işle ilgili olmayan web sitelerini ziyaret etme, internet alışverişi, online oyun ve kumar oynama ve yasal olmayan müzik indirme sayılabilir. Sanal kaytarma kişilerin iyi oluş hali için olumlu etkilere sahip olsa da pek çok araştırma örgütler için verimliliğin düşmesi gibi olumsuz sonuçlara sebep olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu yazı sanal kaytarmayla ilgili pek çok çalışmanın bir derlemesidir. Özellikle sanal kaytarmanın öncüllerini ve bireysel ve örgütsel sonuçlarını ortaya koymaktadır. Buna ek olarak örgütlerde sanal kaytarmanın kontrolü amaçlı çeşitli yollar önermektedir. Dolayısıyla bu derleme ilgili alanda çalışan araştırmacılara ve uygulayıcılara önemli bir kaynak olacaktır.
Exploring traditional due diligence processes in South Africa
Authors: Patel Adnan
Published: May 2018

The effectiveness of due diligence (DD) processes, and whether they contribute to merger and acquisition (M&A) success or failure, is an ongoing debate in auditing and assurance research. This article contributes to the debate by examining traditional DD in South Africa (SA) using a qualitative research approach. A data set of traditional DD processes was compiled from the literature, which formed the basis for an interview agenda which was conducted with corporate finance and audit practitioners in SA. The findings indicate that the DD process is considered to be an evolving process, where DD processes of the last decade are considered to be significantly different from DDs required in acquisitions today. Traditional DD, while considered to be indispensable, has its shortcomings in execution rather than the model. At present, it is found that much focus is placed on accounting and legal aspects, while other critical issues are neglected; macro-environment, management information systems, marketing and productions are such overlooked aspects. This article proposes a critical new trend in the forms and manner of the currently flawed DD processes in SA which is useful for DD practitioners in the present and in the future for local M&A success.
Gender and the transsexual body in Transamerica
Authors: Jensen Amy A.
Published: May 2018

Transamerica, by Duncan Tucker, released in 2005, addresses lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer- (LGBTQ-) related themes through a transsexual female protagonist, Bree. This article discusses the film as an important step in the direction of representing the complexity of gender, which, by today’s standards, is more generally appreciated. Because of its subject matter, Transamerica is a contentious film, lauded and condemned in mainstream media for how it dealt with and represented transsexual identities. Despite nominations for a number of awards, the film’s portrayal of transsexual identities was largely ignored in academic discourse at the time. I argue here that the film provides insight into the challenges, requirements, concerns, as well as the consequences of gender-fluid expression, which has been recognised in academia for years and has become a more discussed topic in mainstream society, but the manner in which the film examines these insights was overlooked. I do this by contextualising the film in terms of contemporary examples of transgender existence, which have brought the topic to mainstream discourse, and by applying gender theory concepts to the film. I discuss the protagonist’s physical and emotional journey to self-discovery in the context of the road movie trope. I then look into the protagonist’s gender performance, as well as how the protagonist negotiates this performance in the various places she visits while on the journey. I show that the film encourages open and honest discourse about gender identity and expression; the opportunity for this discussion was not taken in the year of the film’s release.
