Peningkatan Pemahaman Perhitungan PPh Pasal 21 Pada Siswa SMK Ibnu Taimiyah Pekanbaru
Authors: Ika Wulandari  , Leni Rahmayana  , Mohd.Ideal Kurniawan  , Nurhanimah
Published: December 2022

Community service activities carried out by the Pekanbaru LP3I Polytechnic service team were in the form of workshops with the theme of increasing understanding of Article 21 income tax calculations for students of SMK Ibnu Taimiyah Pekanbaru. Based on the information we got, there are still many people/taxpayers who do not understand how to calculate PPh 21 at least to calculate PPh 21 on their own income and from Ibn Taimiyah Vocational School students, the material they receive about PPh 21 at school is still not in detail, the discussion has not yet been reached. PPh 21 is owed to taxpayers, for that reason this socialization is carried out for SMK students majoring in Accounting which aims to make them understand the stages of calculating PPh 21. This socialization is about how to calculate PPh article 21 for taxpayers who are already working because the students of SMK Ibnu Taimiyah who majoring in Accounting does not rule out the possibility that upon graduating from school he immediately works in the Company as a financial staff or accounting staff who performs the calculation of Income Tax Article 21 for employees who work in the company or at least for the calculation of Income Tax Article 21 on the income he receives ( himself) . With this workshop, it was hoped that the participants will have knowledge, understanding and be able to calculate Income Tax Article 21 starting from the calculation of gross income, net income,  non-taxable income and calculating income tax payable based on a predetermined tax rate.

Published: December 2022

The availability of information related to disasters is one of the efforts so that the public better understands the actions that must be taken to minimize the risks that occur. However, the availability of this information, especially in the Majene Regency area, is currently still quite minimal. In fact, Majene is one of the areas with a fairly high Disaster Risk Index. This activity embraces the Voluntary Corps (KSR) PMI Majene Headquarters Unit as a partner considering that KSR is one of the organizations engaged in the humanitarian field and actively participates in disaster management. The activities carried out include the use of a disaster education information system by providing training to KSR members in managing the system and creating disaster education content. The results of the activities obtained show an increase in the ability of KSR members in terms of management and content creation using Canva and hopes that the disaster education information system that has been built can continue to be used for the dissemination of disaster information.
Czech Teachers´ Subjective Theories about Teaching Grammar
Authors: Hurytová Ivana
Published: December 2022

Modern subject didactics of the mother tongue postulates that the fundamental goal of teaching the mother tongue is the communication goal and that grammar instruction has a supporting function in the development of communication skills. However, research into teaching processes shows that grammatical-normative and formal-cognitive approaches to the language curriculum predominate to a large extent in practice, and that the teaching grammar is understood as an end in itself, rather than as a means. The causes of this fact are various, but especially from international research it can be concluded that what are known as the subjective theories of teachers (teachers’ beliefs) have a significant influence. Our goal is to explore this phenomenon in the reality of the Czech school. In the article we will present the results of two pilot probes focused on the teacher's concept of the communication-functional approach and on the position of grammar in language education.

Published: December 2022

El nostre article analitza els personatges indígenes de l’escriptor català Pere Calders en els relats ambientats en el Mèxic que va viure durant el seu exili dels anys 40. Una visió amb finalitats objectivistes que no amaga la seua condició d’europeu observador i que, sense la voluntat de valorar o de jutjar les anomalies observades en el seu comportament, pretén fer entendre les conseqüències latents en el segle XX d’una ocupació forçosa que va delmar unes cultures pròpies per a imposar-ne unes altres d’origen europeu.

Reseña de “Una noche de espanto. Los otomíes en la obscuridad”
Authors: Pérez Apango Yuyultzin
Published: December 2022

Jacques Galinier ha dedicado más de cuarenta años al estudio de la organización ritual y la cosmología otomí. En su libro “Una noche de espanto. Los otomíes en la obscuridad” cuestiona: ¿Qué ocurre durante la noche?; ¿Por qué se espera tan ardientemente?; O ¿por qué es fuente de tanto pavor? Así, estas preguntas le sirven como referente para ahondar en una parte fundamental de la vida otomiana: la filosofía de la noche. A lo largo de este corto pero nutrido ensayo, Galinier presta atención a los especialistas y sus ritos chamánicos aunque ahora se centra en el momento en el que ocurren: la noche.
Reseña de “Memórias da plantação”
Authors: Rodríguez Mir Javier
Published: December 2022

Memorias de plantación es una etnografía realizada por Grada Kilomba en Alemania sobre el racismo cotidiano que sufren las afrodescendientes. A través de los relatos de sus entrevistadas, con una perspectiva psicoanalítica y descolonizadora, la autora expone de forma magistral diferentes modos en que la población afrodescendiente es objeto de racismo por la sociedad nacional. La obra muestra cómo el racismo actual es un intento de resituar a las poblaciones afrodescendientes en un nivel inferior procurando restablecer un contexto colonial de violencia y opresión. Estos mecanismos del racismo actual conducen a un trauma que genera mucho daño de difícil superación en las poblaciones racializadas.

Analiza koncepta samooskrbe – slovenski kontekst
Authors: Milavec Kapun Marija , Rajkovič Vladislav , Šušteršič Olga , Drnovšek Rok , Rajkovič Uroš
Published: December 2022

Samooskrba pacientov vključuje aktivno skrb za samega sebe v času zdravja in bolezni. Koncept samooskrbe v slovenskem prostoru ni enotno opredeljen in je redko raziskovalna tematika. Narejena je bila analiza koncepta samooskrbe po Walkerju in Avantu za slovenski prostor. Analiza je temeljila na pregledu slovenske strokovne in znanstvene literature. Koncept samooskrbe vključuje aktivno skrb za samega sebe, aktivnosti, usmerjene v doseganje optimalnega zdravja in dobrega počutja, ter kontinuirano izvajanje. Predhodniki samooskrbe so motiviranost in informiranost, zdravstvena pismenost in zdravstvena vzgojenost. Posledice samooskrbe so boljša kakovost življenja in večje zadovoljstvo z življenjem, boljše sprejemanje zdravljenja, manjša obremenitev zdravstva ter boljša kakovost zdravstvene obravnave. Nadaljnje raziskovanje oz. nadgradnja konceptualnega modela samooskrbe bi bila smiselna v smeri oblikovanja specifičnih negovalnih intervencij za spodbujanje samooskrbe med pacienti v različnih življenjskih obdobjih in pristopov k njihovemu izvajanju.

Published: December 2022

V tretje življenjsko obdobje, za katerega je značilnih precej sprememb na biološko-fiziološkem, psihološkem in socialnem področju, uvrščamo osebo, ki je dopolnila 65 let. Ugotavljali smo, kako starejši odrasli doživljajo svoje domače okolje, s katerimi omejitvami v njem se soočajo, kako to vpliva na njihovo vsakodnevno funkcioniranje ter ali znotraj doma uporabljajo kakšne strategije, pripomočke oziroma prilagoditve. V kvalitativni raziskavi smo izvedli polstrukturirane intervjuje s petimi starejšimi osebami, ki živijo v domačem okolju. S kvalitativno analizo podatkov smo določili 3 kategorije, 12 podkategorij ter 43 kod. Ugotovili smo, da domače okolje starejše odrasle spodbuja k izvajanju aktivnosti, jim omogoča dostop do storitev in ohranjanje oz. krepitev socialne mreže. Strategij, pripomočkov in prilagoditev se poslužujejo dokaj malo, pri tem pa je ključna vključitev delovnega terapevta, ki pa je v Sloveniji še vedno premalo poznan zdravstveni strokovnjak.
Vpliv pandemije covida-19 na porabo zdravil za zdravljenje bolezni mišično-skeletnega sistema in vezivnega tkiva v Sloveniji

Published: December 2022

Bolezni mišično-skeletnega sistema in vezivnega tkiva predstavljajo naraščajoč javnozdravstveni problem ter ekonomsko breme za družbo in zdravstvene sisteme. Zdravimo jih z različnimi zdravili, katere porabo spremljamo, saj nam je dragocen vir informacij o zdravstvenih, ekonomskih in socialnih značilnostih bolezni. Namen naše raziskave je bil oceniti porabo tovrstnih zdravil ter njihovo ekonomsko vrednost v obdobju od 2016 do 2020 v Sloveniji, ko je nastopila pandemija covida-19. Izvedena je bila retrospektivna opazovalna raziskava predpisovanja in porabe ambulantno predpisanih zdravil za zdravljenje bolezni mišično-skeletnega sistema in vezivnega tkiva, ki je pokazala zvišano porabo tovrstnih zdravil. Glede na farmakološke skupine se je najbolj povečala poraba zdravil z učinkom na strukturo in mineralizacijo kosti in zdravil za zdravljenje protina. Povečala se je tudi celotna vrednost zdravil v evrih. Število receptov se je v obdobju 2016‒2020 znižalo, posebej leta 2020. V prvem letu pandemije se poraba zdravil za zdravljenje bolezni mišično-skeletnega sistema in vezivnega tkiva ni zmanjšala, ampak je opažen trend naraščanja, ob siceršnjem upadu števila predpisanih receptov.

Published: December 2022

The Observation-Constrained Atmospheric BOX model (OCABOX) was used to analyze the formation of secondary inorganic PM species in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA), South Korea. The measurement data of the ionic components of PM2.5 and their gaseous precursors made at the Olympic Park ground site (37.53°N, 127.12°E) during the Korea-United States Air Quality field campaign were used to run OCABOX in observation-based mode and compare the simulation results. The use of the HNO3 concentrations measured at a marine background site as the boundary conditions appeared to increase the accuracy of the model prediction of HNO3 and particulate NO3
− concentrations. For the primary precursors emitted considerably throughout the SMA, such as NOx and NH3, using the data measured inside the SMA as the boundary conditions could lead to more accurate predictions. OCABOX was shown to be a reliable tool to analyze the formation of secondary inorganic aerosol in the SMA if used with appropriate regional background concentrations and observation-based constraints

Published: December 2022

The chemical characteristics of particulate matters collected from 53 schools in 2019 through 2022 were closely investigated to determine the main sources of classroom PM2.5. On average, indoor PM2.5 measured during class hours distributed from 3.3 μg/m3 to 45.97 μg/m3, and it consisted of 45% of ions, 33% of carbons, 17% of metals and others. The average indoor-to-outdoor ratio (I/O) of PM2.5 was 0.73. Values for I/O ranged from 0.6 to 0.91 for inorganic elements; 0.3 to 0.8 for ions; 0.50 to 2.69 for elemental carbons (EC), and 0.52 to 8.50 for organic carbons (OC). The linear correlation of indoor EC with concentrations of K+ and NO3
− indicates that the contribution of combustion-related sources to classroom PM2.5 is significant in roadside schools. The findings from this study should help establish construction guidelines for urban schools near high-traffic areas.
Attic Deme Harbours, the Rural Economy, and State Oversight of Maritime Trade
Authors: Lewis David
Published: December 2022

Ancient Greek coastal cities imposed stringent rules on maritime traders arriving from other states, requiring them to sail to the official emporion alone, abide by their laws when in their territory, use local coinage, and pay the relevant taxes. Yet the territories of these cities often contained other limenes (a word that encompasses both artificial harbours and natural moorages) that its legal residents used for fishing and local coastal trade. This article explores the strengths and weaknesses of state oversight of maritime trade by investigating a case study ([Dem.] 35.28-29) where Phaselite merchants allegedly crossed the divide between interstate emporion-trade and intra-state coastal trade, avoiding the emporion at Piraeus and mooring at a local harbour named Phōrōn Limēn (Thieves’ Harbour) yet making use of the market at Piraeus nonetheless. It argues that traditional interpretations of this harbour’s function in terms of smuggling are improbable and that the Phaselites used it instead to conceal important knowledge from their creditors whilst accessing the emporion on foot. This case study also underscores the important economic function of minor relay ports, particularly in terms of the agricultural economy, since these moorages facilitated important transport links between the countryside and city markets.

In everyday human life, there are several problems that pose a risk to oneself, personal belongings or family property, where the risk is something that arises unexpectedly. To overcome these unexpected problems, the role of insurance is very important in providing protection. Insurance is an insurance agreement between the insurance company and the policyholder with the obligation to pay premiums and provide guarantees to pay compensation. In general, the classification of insurance is divided into 3 types, namely: life insurance, general insurance, and reinsurance. The rights of policyholders when viewed from the aspect of consumer protection are regulated in Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection. Insurance is very closely related to the presence of the OJK Institution as the only institution responsible for insurance companies, as stipulated in OJK Regulation Number 28/POJK.05/2015. The purpose of this journal is to legally review the rights and interests acquired by insurance policy holders. This research uses normative method. The results of the first study, the rights of policyholders have not been explicitly regulated in insurance law. Second, settlement of claim disputes regarding claims for compensation from insurance is regulated in Article 4 paragraph (1) OJK Regulation Number 1/POJK.07/2014, and the third is in insurance laws and regulations in Indonesia, the settlement of insurance cases is handled by OJK and will ends with a court decision.

New Trajectories in the Study of Early Modern Ottoman Historiography
Authors: AĞALAR Şaban
Published: December 2022

Since the early 1980s, literature on early modern Ottoman historiography witnessed a significant expansion in tandem with the rising interest in narrative sources and archival documents. The research, especially during the last two decades, is characterized by the use of new sources and methodology, which in turn, enabled the examination of previously overlooked features and dynamics of early modern history writing. This review argues that the imprint of the new trajectories in the study of early modern Ottoman historiography is particularly manifest in two themes of research. First, the field has undergone a shift from an emphasis on the narrowly defined political function of history writing to the acknowledgment of the multiplicity of purposes, agents, and messages. Studies in the field of art history have particularly contributed to this transformation by expanding the repertoire of historiographical sources beyond textual materials and raising productive questions regarding the authorship and audience of official histories. Second, thought-provoking studies on seventeenth- and eighteenth-century historiography challenged the conventional categories of historian and historiographical work. Historiographers who were neither bureaucrats nor scholars integrated otherwise marginalized voices into the study of Ottoman historiography. Despite the promising developments in the field, there is still a lack of research on the theoretical dimensions and cross-cultural connections ofearly modern Ottoman history writing.

Catheter ablation of the pre-excitation syndrome in children
Authors: Knop Mateusz
Published: December 2022

Pre-excitation syndromes resulting from the presence of an accessory tract are one of the causes of serious arrhythmias, including death. They are often asymptomatic and are detected accidentally during a routine cardiac examination. If left untreated, they are a contraindication to intensive sports, because the first symptom may be sudden cardiac arrest. Ablation of pre-excitation syndromes is an effective method of treating this disease in both children and adults.
Expression of deiodinase 2 (DIO2) and integrin alpha 9 (ITGA9) genes as indicators' of adaptability and their relationship with physio-biochemical parameters in Tharparkar and Karan Fries heifers during different seasons
Authors: NAIDU VELAGALA C SEKHAR , SINGH S V
Published: December 2022

The aim of the study was to observe the influence of ambient conditions (seasons) on expression pattern of deiodinase 2 (DIO2) and integrin alpha 9 (ITGA9) genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and their relationship with physiological and biochemical parameters of Tharparkar and Karan Fries heifers. Healthy heifers of Tharparkar and Karan Fries breed (6 each) were selected and blood samples were collected from these animals at weekly interval. These blood samples were centrifuged to separate the plasma (for biochemical parameters) and buffy coat (for total RNA isolation). The expression of DIO2 gene was down-regulated during hot humid season and up-regulated during winter season in both the breeds. The DIO2 gene showed a positive correlation with thyroid hormones (T3, T4) and negative correlation with physiological responses (RR, PR, RT, ST), cortisol hormone, antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GPx) and non-esterified fatty-acids (NEFA). The expression pattern of ITGA9 gene was opposite to DIO2 gene, i.e. up-regulated during hot humid season and down-regulated during winter season in both the breeds. ITGA9 gene expression showed a positive correlation with cortisol, antioxidant enzymes, NEFA and physiological responses, and negative correlation with thyroid hormones. The fold change in expression of DIO2 and ITGA9 genes was higher in Karan Fries than Tharparkar heifers during hot humid and winter season. The dry matter intake was lower during hot-humid season than autumn and winter season in both the breeds of heifer. The expression pattern of the DIO2 and ITGA9 genes and their relationship with physio-biochemical parameters revealed the essential role in adaptability of cattle as candidate gene. Based on the results of present study, it can be stated that Tharparkar heifers are better adapted to tropical climatic conditions than Karan Fries heifers.

Authors: KOKATE L S , DONGRE V B , KHANDAIT V N , KALE S B
Published: December 2022

The present study was carried out on 538 monthly milk yield records of Marathwadi buffaloes maintained at Cattle Breeding Farm, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Udgir Dist-Latur Maharashtra spread over a period of 9 years. The monthly milk yield was recorded at 6th, 36th, 66th and so on till standard lactation with 30 days interval. The goodness of fit of 3 lactation curve models, viz. parabolic exponential function, inverse polynomial function and mixed log function were used on monthly milk yields in Marathwadi buffaloes. The highest coefficient of determination for fitting of lactation curve models was with mixed log function (97.63%), followed by parabolic exponential function (95%) and inverse polynomial function (82.70%). Further, the root mean square error was found least for mixed log function (1.70), followed by parabolic exponential function (3.55) and inverse polynomial function (4.61). It is therefore inferred that mixed log function fitted best for prediction and modeling of lactation curves based upon monthly milk yields.

Published: December 2022

Socially accountable fund (SAF) in India continues to be a fresh investment approach for its investors and socially accounted business. It is a funding that considers social justice, environmental sustainability, in addition to the incorporation of moral materials of enterprise and trade. This paper tries to determine factors influencing ‘Generation Z`s’ (Gen-Z) preference to invest in socially accountable funds. The ‘Theory of Planned behaviour (TPB)’’ focuses on symbolize attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural management by the investors. These factors are included to take a look at how those variables sequentially affect the adoption of socially accountable funding. More importantly, socially accountable consumption, in addition to perceived ethical duty also are protected making use of growing a prolonged idea of deliberate conduct studies framework. The statistics become amassed thru a survey, using a self-administered questionnaire the usage of a ‘6-factor Likert Scale’ amid 287 respondents in Gujarat. All the hypothesis are supported by the findings, besides for the connection among subjective norms and the adoption of socially accountable funding (SAF). The findings offer beneficial facts to the vendors of funding merchandise and services, in particular in increasing their marketplace in the direction of selling socially accountable funding, especially amongst Gen-Z.
Persiese poësie en politiek in Iran: Die denke van opperleier Ali Hosseini Khamenei
Authors:   Noordwes-Universiteit, Matthee Heinrich
Published: December 2022

Opperleier Ali Hosseini Khamenei is sedert 1989 die magtigste politikus in die Islamitiese Republiek van Iran. Daarby is hy ’n digter wat aktief die rol van Persiese digkuns bevorder. Die doel van hierdie artikel is om die wisselwerking tussen Persiese poësie en politiek in Khamenei se denke te ondersoek. Daarvoor word gesteun op Alberto Melucci (1986), Jacques Rancière (2011) en Crispin Sartwell (2010) se teoretiese perspektiewe op politieke ordes. Die artikel berus op ’n inhoudsontleding van toesprake deur Khamenei oor digters en die Persiese historiese erfenis, Persies as taal, mistieke Islam, kulturele imperialisme, die sogenaamde sagte oorlog, en die Islamitiese beskawing. Die artikel bespreek ook die institusionalisering van digkuns. Persiese poësie is verweef met baie fasette van die politieke orde in Iran. Digkuns en kulturele simbole en vaardighede dien as bronne om die regime se legitimiteit en gesag te versterk. Hulle onderskraag ook die kombinasie van geestelike en politieke leierskap in die amp van die opperleier. Digkuns en verwante instellings bied ’n kanaal vir die opperleier om sy posisie binne die elites te versterk en die kulturele veld te hervorm. Digkuns vorm ook deel van Iran se sagte mag en wyer identiteitskompleks in sy buurstreke as teenvoeter vir Westerse kulturele en politieke invloed. Digkuns speel ’n rol by politieke beïnvloeding en sosialisering en by die vorming van politieke subjekte. Terselfdertyd bied seremonies en digkuns maniere waarop die regime aansluit by die bevolking en ’n politieke gemeenskap handhaaf. Deur digkuns word ook gepoog om vir burokratiese, materiële of ideologiese swakhede tydens faksiestryde of binne die politieke orde te vergoed. Digkuns vorm dus deel van die dinamiese wyses waarop die Islamitiese Republiek van Iran polities voorgestel en bedryf word. In wisselwerking met kulturele en politieke kragte en gebeure kan digkuns ook nuwe stemmings en energie in ’n politieke gemeenskap opwek en die netwerk van instellings nuut besnaar.

’n Bespreking van sekere teïsties-mistieke kenmerke na aanleiding van uitgesoekte gedigte uit Jerusalem tot Johannesburg deur I.L. de Villiers
Authors: Van der Berg Elizabeth
Published: December 2022

Die doel van hierdie artikel is om mistieke aspekte in vyf gedigte uit Jerusalem tot Johannesburg te identifiseer en breedvoerig te bespreek. Die artikel beperk sigself bewustelik en berekend slegs tot ’n teïstiese denkruimte met die besef dat daar ruimer sienings van die mistieke is. Eerstens word daar lig gewerp op die teïstiese mistieke, wat oor die algemeen as onbevatlik en moeilik definieerbaar beskou word. Daar word ook aandag gegee aan enkele kundiges se omskrywings van dié begrip. Daar word dan vlugtig gekyk na die aard van mistieke poësie en mistieke taal. Omdat die mistieke belewenis as onuitspreeklik ervaar word, is dit geen maklike taak vir die digter om dit te verwoord nie, en hy moet van sekere literêre strategieë gebruik maak om uitdrukking daaraan te gee. Hierdie tegnieke en stylfigure word onder die loep geneem. Hierna word die stand van die Afrikaanse mistieke poëtiese tradisie oorsigtelik bekyk en daarop gewys dat hoewel daar ’n betreklik skaars oes gedigte bestaan wat as misties beskryf kan word, daar van die vroegste tye af in die Afrikaanse skryfwerk wel bewyse van mistieke bewustheid is. Die akademiese korpus oor hierdie genre is ook gering, en hierdie artikel beoog om dit aan te vul. Die fokus val vervolgens op De Villiers wat, volgens Daniel Hugo, naas Sheila Cussons ons beste mistieke digter is. Daar word tot die slotsom gekom dat De Villiers ’n onprotestantse aanvoeling vir die mistieke gehad het, en eie aan mistici ’n afkeer van dogma ervaar het. Die gedigte word laastens ontleed en geïnterpreteer en die verskeie mistieke aspekte wat hieruit na vore kom, word bespreek en in die raamwerk van die algemene mistieke teorie geplaas.

Manlikheid, demonologie en sielsgesondheid in Johannes Chrusostomus se retoriek oor die biskop-martelaar Babulas teen die Romeinse keisers
Authors:   Universiteit van Suid-Afrika, De Wet Chris
Published: December 2022

Die doel van hierdie artikel is om die verhouding tussen manlikheid, demonologie en sielsgesondheid in Chrusostomus se vertelling oor Babulas en sy polemiek teen die figuur van die keiser, veral Julianus, te ondersoek. Ten spyte van baie navorsing oor Chrusostomus se demonologie en genderperspektiewe is daar tans geen studie wat fokus op die verband tussen hierdie konsepte in sy polemiek teen die keisers nie. Onlangse navorsing oor Chrusostomus se medies-morele denkraamwerk begrond die navorsing in hierdie artikel. Die studie ondersoek eers Babulas se konflik met ’n eerste (onbenoemde) keiser, wat moontlik keiser Filippus was. Daarna word vlugtig gekyk na die rol van keiser Gallus in die verplasing van die relikwieë van Babulas. Die belangrikste deel van die ondersoek behels Chrusostomus se polemiek teen keiser Julianus. Die artikel toon dat Chrusostomus hoofsaaklik die konsepte van manlikheid, demonologie en sielsgesondheid aanwend om Babulas as ’n voorbeeld, ’n exemplum, vir sy gehoor aan te bied. Dié drie konsepte werk saam en skep sodoende ’n Christelike standaard van deugsaamheid waarvolgens elke Christen, man of vrou, moes leef. Dus is die biskop-martelaar die exemplum, terwyl twee van die keisers die rol van anti-exemplum vervul. Die studie toon verder dat konsepte van manlikheid (en gender oor die algemeen), demonologie en sielsgesondheid dus sleutels is om Chrusostomus se politieke filosofie, veral oor die rol van die keiser en die regering, beter te verstaan. Trefwoorde: Babulas; demonologie; Johannes Chrusostomus; Julianus; Patristiek; Romeinse keisers; sielsgesondheid; vroeg-Christelike gesondheidsleer; vroeg-Christelike manlikheid
Moontlikheid en werklikheid. Waarom kan Suid-Afrika (nog) nie die droom van ’n inklusiewe samelewing verwesenlik nie?
Authors:   Universiteit Stellenbosch, Lategan Bernard
Published: December 2022

Die artikel fokus op die vraag waarom Suid-Afrika na bykans drie dekades van ’n inklusiewe politieke bestel skynbaar nog nie daarin kon slaag om die ideaal van ’n inklusiewe samelewing te verwesenlik nie. Verskillende faktore dra hiertoe by. Een faktor wat nie voldoende in aanmerking geneem word nie, is oorgelewerde denkpatrone wat die nuwe bestel in sy nuwe formaat steeds kniehalter. Wat onderskat word, is die vertrekpunt van hierdie denke, die kontoere wat dit volg en veral die rigting of oriëntasie waarin dit plaasvind. Om hierdie probleem te illustreer, word insigte uit Mahmood Mamdani se onlangse boek, Neither settler nor native, as uitgangspunt geneem. Mamdani (self ’n sterk voorstander van dekolonialisering) beweer dat die dekolonialiseringsprojek in vele opsigte misluk het omdat die nuwe bewindhebbers die denkwyses, sosiale kategorieë en burgerskapsmodelle van die koloniale era oorgeneem en steeds gehandhaaf het. Aan die hand van voorbeelde soos die “makmaak” van die Amerikaanse Weste, die opkoms van die Nazi-ideologie in Duitsland, die skynbaar onoorbrugbare kloof tussen Israeliet en Palestyn in die huidige staat Israel en die verdeling tussen Noord- en Suid-Soedan maak hy duidelik hoe die (koloniale) verlede steeds die (gedekolonialiseerde) hede beïnvloed. Suid-Afrika is volgens Mamdani die een uitsondering, waar die bestaande orde op radikale wyse vervang is deur ’n inklusiewe politieke bestel waarin alle burgers in teorie dieselfde regte het. Die ironie is egter dat formele inklusiwiteit nog nie in dieselfde mate tot sosiale inklusiwiteit gelei het nie. Waarom word die moontlikheid wat die Grondwet bied, nie ’n werklikheid nie? Die insigte van Eberhard Jüngel oor die verhouding tussen moontlikheid en werklikheid bied ’n sleutel om hierdie dilemma te ontknoop. Anders as Aristoteles, wat die werklikheid as van “meer waarde” as die moontlikheid ag, dring Jüngel daarop aan dat die prioriteit aan die moontlikheid gegee word. As die bestaande werklikheid die norm is, kan ons alleen herhaal wat reeds werklikheid was. As die moontlikheid die voorrang het, open dit geleenthede om ’n nuwe werklikheid tot stand te bring. Hiervoor is verbeelding nodig – nie as ontvlugting uit die werklikheid nie, maar as die energie wat “intensie” (Husserl) loslaat om – vry van die hede – ’n alternatiewe toekoms te bedink en strategieë te ontwikkel om vanuit hierdie visie terug te dink na die hede. Hierdie moontlike toekoms word werklikheid deur elke dag op te tree in terme en volgens die waardes van die nuwe visie.

Vonnisbespreking: Sintaktiese uitleg van die BTW-wet bepaal wanneer goud teen die nulkoers verkoop mag word. ’n Besinning van ’n positiewe taalkundige benadering

Syntactic interpretation of the VAT Act determines when gold may be sold at the zero rating. A consideration of a positive linguistic approach In terms of section 11(1)(f) of the Value Added Tax Act 89 of 1991, gold sold to a closed list of entities in its unwrought form is levied at the zero rate. To qualify for Value Added Tax levied at the zero rate, the gold must be provided in one of the eight prescribed forms, and it may only have been refined and processed once for provision to the listed purchasers. The applicant in this case is a purchaser and trader of gold. It buys second-hand gold products like jewellery, scrap gold and the like from members of the public after which it has the gold refined and cast into acceptable forms like gold bars. Once the gold is processed to the acceptable standard, it is sold to entities within the closed list. The Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service (CSARS) views the applicant’s gold as having undergone more than one process and therefore believes that VAT should not be levied at the zero rate. The applicant disputes this and seeks a declaratory order in which section 11(1)(f) is clarified. To illuminate the relevant subsection, Davis J used the interpretation standards set by Natal Joint Municipal Pension Fund v Endumeni Municipality 2012 4 SA 593 (SCA) as well as Cool Ideas 1186 CC v Hubbard 2014 4 SA 474 (CC) and AfriForum v University of the Free State 2018 2 SA 185 (CC), which in particular guide linguistic interpretation. Amongst other things and although brief, Davis J addressed the importance of the relative clause (and the relative pronoun which) that centres on the heart of the dispute. In doing so, his declaration supports CSARS’s view and confirms that gold qualifies for the zero rating only if it was processed solely for provision to the closed list of entities. The purpose of this case discussion is primarily to confirm Davis J’s method of interpretation. In doing so, the focus will be on three linguistic devices as a means to endorse his decision.

Wat eet Afrikaners? ’n Verkenning van die bestanddeel-resep-netwerk in Afrikaanse resepte
Authors:   Universiteit van die Vrystaat, Senekal Burgert
Published: December 2022

Met die algemene gebruik van die internet en die opkoms van die netwerkwetenskap oor die laaste twee dekades het dit moontlik geword om groot stelle resepte en hul bestanddele te ondersoek, en om lande se resepte en bestanddeelkombinasies met mekaar te vergelyk. ’n Groot aantal studies in die buiteland het reeds bestanddeel-resep-netwerke vanuit die perspektief van die netwerkteorie ondersoek, en onder andere bevestig dat verskillende lande en kulture unieke bestanddeelkombinasies in hul resepte gebruik. Die huidige studie sluit by sulke studies aan en ondersoek die bestanddeel-resep-netwerk in Afrikaanse resepte. Hiervoor is 196 bestanddele se voorkomste in 6 863 Afrikaanse resepte ondersoek. Daar word aangetoon watter bestanddele die meeste in Afrikaanse resepte voorkom en watter bestanddele die meeste saam met ander bestanddele voorkom, en daar word ondersoek ingestel na hoe kossoorte gekombineer word. Die bestanddele wat in die meeste resepte voorgekom het, hoort byvoorbeeld tot die kategorie speserye, gevolg deur suiwel, plantprodukte, groente, en vleis. Neute, drank, en seekos het die minste voorgekom. Daar word ook gevind dat wat die meeste saam met ander kossoorte voorkom, speserye is, gevolg deur groentes en suiwel, terwyl vleis minder gereeld in resepte voorkom, maar meer as seekos. Laastens word die Louvain-metode gebruik om gemeenskappe van bestanddele in die Afrikaanse bestanddeel-resep-netwerk te identifiseer, en daar word aangedui watter bestanddele in watter soort resepte gebruik word. Die studie sluit af met voorstelle vir verdere navorsing. Trefwoorde: Afrikaanse kos; Afrikaanse resepte; bestanddeel-resep-netwerke; komplekse netwerke; modulariteit; resepte
