Psicoterapia de constructos personales: intervención centrada en dilemas en un caso de ansiedad generalizada
Authors: Castaño Agudelo Alejandro
Published: October 2019

Esta presentación de caso, expone una intervención de Constructos Personales centrada en dilemas implicativos en una adolescente de 16 años de la ciudad de Medellín diagnosticada con Porfiria Aguda Intermitente de acuerdo con la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades (CIE 10) y con Trastorno De Ansiedad Generalizada (TAG) acorde a los criterios del Manual Diagnóstico y Estadístico de los Trastornos Mentales, quinta edición (DSM 5). El proceso terapéutico se desarrolló en deciseís sesiones, teniendo como punto de referencia los parámetros propuestos por Senra, Feixas y Fernandes (2005), quienes plantean un protocolo general para el abordaje de estructuras dilemáticas, igualmente se consideró la elaboración posterior de Feixas y Compañ (2015) para el diseño del proceso terapéutico. Se definieron los dilemas implicativos a partir de la entrevista, la técnica de rejilla y la autocaracterización (Kelly, 1955). Durante la psicoterapia se abordaron dos de las configuraciones dilemáticas, las cuales se relacionaban con competencia personal e interacción social. En la etapa de finalización del tratamiento se evidenciaron cambios significativos a nivel del sistema de construcciones personales tales como el aumento de la autoestima, mayor percepción de cercanía con las personas significativas, así como una mayor adecuación de éstos a sus construcciones valoradas, transformaciones cuantificadas gracias a la Técnica de Rejilla de Kelly. Igualmente, a nivel sintomático se lograron cambios notables, partiendo de la comparación de las mediciones pre-post tratamiento obtenidas con el inventario de ansiedad y depresión de Beck (BAI, BDI II). Estos resultados aportan evidencia a la Psicología de Constructos Personales, confirmando hallazgos anteriormente expuestos en la literatura científica.

En una reunión que congrega a la clase prestante de una sociedad, y tras la intervención de un mago, se produce una orgía de la cual sólo una persona mantendrá intacto el recuerdo. Todo lo sucedido en el evento y después de él, es lo que narra el cuento “La Orgía” de Germán Espinosa, que fue el pretexto para analizar algunos conceptos del psicoanálisis freudiano relativos al inconsciente, la pulsión, la represión, la censura y la psicología de las masas. Este escrito, producto de la lectura y escritura colaborativa a lo largo de un semestre académico, da cuenta de lo elaborado en el marco de un grupo de estudio en psicoanálisis en el que participan egresados y estudiantes de psicología de todos los niveles de formación.
Resiliencia y constructos personales de victimización en individuos vulnerados por el conflicto armado
Authors: Lozano Montilla Dahyana Andrea , Parra Giraldo Mateo , Uribe Ortiz Daniela Victoria
Published: October 2019

El presente trabajo investigativo parte de la postura de que ahondar sobre el conflicto armado y sus efectos en la población colombiana, es referirse a un tema que durante años ha evolucionado en diferentes periodos trascendentales generando diversas posturas, pero que indudablemente solo se puede describir de manera particular por quien ha vivido el rigor de la lucha por el poder económico y político, teniendo en cuenta esto, se desarrolla un estudio mediante un paradigma explicativo e interpretativo que contempla una metodología mixta, dirigida a indagar la relación entre el nivel de resiliencia y los constructos personales de aquellos individuos vulnerados por el conflicto armado, evidenciándose una disonancia entre el análisis de los resultados, al hallarse habilidades resilientes en los sujetos desde lo cuantitativo, las cuales no estaban representadas, desde un foco cualitativo, en el discurso de la mayoría de individuos, pues su subjetividad refería constructos poco ligados a la resiliencia. En tanto, se devela la relevancia de ejecutar acciones no solo inclinadas en hacer una reparación desde lo legal, sino que traigan a colación las significaciones individuales de las víctimas, para que estas puedan trascender y superar las secuelas que dificultan el desarrollo en las dimensiones psicológicas, sociales y emocionales que de alguna manera prolongan el flagelo y perpetúan el asistencialismo.
La película La ola como un gran ejemplo de un grupo operativo
Authors: Ángel Gómez Karen
Published: October 2019

Este ensayo comprende un análisis psicológico de la película alemana “La Ola” con una perspectiva social, específicamente con una perspectiva de la teoría de los grupos operativos de Enrique Pichón Riviere, enseñados en el pregrado de psicología de primer semestre y continuados durante toda la carrera. Este ensayo pretende dar una nueva perspectiva a esta película que es vista generalmente con una visión política, ya que se basa en el desarrollo de un experimento social hecho, en el ámbito educativo alemán, por un profesor negligente a la hora de enfrentar su contratransferencia con el grupo y de frenar el caos que estaba causando en los ECROS de sus estudiantes cuando quiso dirigir la clase con la temática de autocracia, que es el sistema de gobierno que centra el poder absoluto en una sola persona, y experimentar socialmente con ellos para que aprendieran personal y socialmente lo que de verdad significaba esa visión política. Por eso, mi objetivo es darle una perspectiva social a través de la teoría de grupos operativos, porque esta película se desarrolla en un ambiente grupal, social y con un coordinador claramente especificado que dirige el acontecer y el aprender del grupo de clase. Además, se pueden ver claramente los diferentes roles de las personas que constituyen el grupo operativo y las tres fases por las que pasa el proceso grupal con el coordinador y la tarea, que en este caso es el aprendizaje de la autocracia.
La psicología como engaño: ¿adaptar o subvertir?
Authors: Vargas Toro James Harley
Published: October 2019

A partir de reflexiones suscitadas en el texto “la psicología como engaño” (2017) del profesor Edgar Barrero, se intentará hacer un esbozo describiendo someramente las vicisitudes del conflicto armado en Colombia y el papel que ha cumplido la disciplina psicológica respecto a dicho fenómeno. Se pretende entonces pesquisar los interrogantes a la luz de los intersticios que se abren dentro de la disciplina y han sido objeto de investigación en el texto que se basa el presente escrito. ¿De qué se ha ocupado la psicología en Colombia, qué caminos han transitado sus objetivos e intereses y su aparente mirada extraviada frente a las problemáticas que históricamente han configurado nuestra subjetividad? Asimismo, será menester preguntarle a esa psicología sobre la pertinencia de sus teorizaciones en concordancia o no con su propio contexto y la adopción de pensares, sentires y quehaceres propios de una psicología dominante y hegemónica, usada como un instrumento útil de manipulación ideológica y moldeamiento de las subjetividades. En efecto, la distorsión de la responsabilidad social que constituye al psicólogo, la penetración en el ámbito formativo y académico, es decir, las aulas de clase que reproducen acríticamente lo instaurado por distintos actores y la complicidad de una psicología del silencio, que dejará cuando menos un posible planteamiento: ¿desde dónde y hacia dónde se ha venido haciendo psicología?
Lenguaje periodístico y enfermedad mental: una mirada crítica al abordaje de la información
Authors: Trujillo Jaramillo Stephany
Published: October 2019

Los medios masivos de comunicación tienen gran incidencia en la construcción y deconstrucción de la realidad, como también en la subjetividad de cada individuo, de lo que estos consideran normal y anormal, y por supuesto de la significación que por medio del lenguaje le dan al mundo. Haciendo un análisis breve de las noticias publicadas en algunos diarios nacionales e internacionales, se encontró que el lenguaje que usan en la mayor parte de los abordajes periodísticos es estereotipado y basado en prejuicios personales del editor, no en fuentes con autoridad en el tema a exponer. La enfermedad mental, quienes la viven, al igual que sus familias, son víctimas de la estigmatización y de las consecuencias negativas que esta genera, reforzadas por la prensa y su discurso, siendo este una forma de perpetuar los imaginarios sociales existentes. Por tal motivo es indispensable llevar a cabo estrategias para la reducción del estigma hacia las personas con enfermedad mental, y así promover su recuperación e inclusión social, usando como herramienta principal a los medios de comunicación y el uso que hacen del lenguaje.
Arte, religión y filosofía en Hegel y Hölderlin
Authors: Castrillón Castrillón Andrés Alfredo
Published: October 2019

El artículo tiene como propósito dilucidar las nociones de arte, religión y filosofía que expone el filósofo Hegel en su obra Enciclopedia de las ciencias filosóficas y en las Lecciones sobre la estética y la que expone el escritor Friedrich Hölderlin en su novela Hiperión o el eremita en Grecia. La finalidad del escrito es contrastar ambas posturas y analizar la interpretación que hace Hegel del arte. Ambos autores conciben dicha triada como una manifestación y exteriorización de la producción y devenir espiritual de los pueblos. Hölderlin le otorga al arte una vigencia y vitalidad para intervenir en la construcción de la sociedad moderna a nivel religioso y político, pero Hegel considera que la filosofía, que supera y conserva al arte y a la religión, tiene la prioridad en la modernidad en tanto posibilita la comprensión y el progreso del momento vigente. El texto concluye indicando las diferencias entre estas dos posturas.
Surface water resources management along Hadejia River Basin, northwestern Nigeria
Authors: Umar Da'u Abba , Ramli Mohammad Firuz , Aris Ahmad Zaharin , Jamil NorRohaiza , Tukur Abubakar Ibrahim
Published: October 2019

The current review has unveiled the spatial disparity of the surface water resources availability between the upstream and downstream of the Hadejia River Basin (HRB). The surface water resources are more abundant in the upstream areas of the basin. Although rainfall and temperature dynamics are identified as the major reason for these spatial variations, other important factors include the differences in the geological formation and the land use changes. Furthermore, the differences in the geological formations between the upstream and downstream areas have further widened the disparities in the surface water resources available across the basin which are motivated by the differences in the rate of infiltration. The combined effects of these factors affect both spatial availability and the quality variation of the surface water resources. However, as per this review, there is no single integrated study reported to have aimed at addressing the problems of water resource excesses, deficiencies and/or pollution throughout the basin. To address the problem of water pollution, floods, and droughts, the current review recommends the use of riverbank filtration (RBF), aquifer recharge and recovery (ARR) and rainwater harvesting.

Published: October 2019

In this study, starch-stabilized nanoscale zero-valent iron (S-nZVI) was produced using the liquid-phase reduction method. It was used to remove chromium from wastewater, and compared to a commercial nanoscale zero-valent iron (C-nZVI). Both nZVIs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The characterization results showed that S-nZVI had smaller particles and a more uniform particle size distribution than C-nZVI. Both nZVIs showed a core-shell structure with the Fe0 core prominently surrounded by less iron oxides of Fe2+ and Fe3+. The optimal application methods to remove Cr(VI) from wastewater were also explored. The results showed that both the removal efficiencies of total Cr and Cr(VI) increased with increases in the addition of nZVIs, while the removal efficiencies of total Cr and Cr(VI) by S-nZVI were clearly higher than that of C-nZVI, especially in a low pH range (pH = 1.0–6.0). This research indicated that starch-stabilized nanoscale zero-valent iron is a valuable material to remove heavy metals from wastewater due to its stability and high reactivity.
Terpenes and Phenylpropanoids as Acetyl- and Butyrylcholinesterase Inhibitors: A Comparative Study
Authors: Szwajgier Dominik , Baranowska-Wójcik Ewa
Published: October 2019

Background:

Cholinesterase inhibitors are routinely applied in the treatment of Alzheimer’s
disease, and seeking new cholinesterase inhibitors is a priority.

Objective:

Twenty seven compounds were compared, including ones not previously tested. An attempt
was undertaken to precisely describe the role of alcohol in the inhibitory activity. This paper underlines
the role of a “false positive” blank sample in the routine analysis.

Methods:

The inhibition of cholinesterase was measured using Ellman’s colorimetric method with a few
modifications designed by the authors (including the “false-positive” effect). The inhibitory role of
ethanol and methanol was also carefully evaluated. The present and past results were compared taking
the source of enzyme and alcohol content into consideration.

Results:

For the first time, new inhibitors were identified, namely: methyl jasmonate, 1R-(−)-nopol
((anti-acetyl-(AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity)) and 1,4-cineole, allo-aromadendrene,
nerolidol, β-ionone, and (R)-(+)-pulegone (anti-BChE activity). Oleanolic acid and (+)-β-citronellene
(not previously studied) proved to be inefficient inhibitors. For a number of well-known inhibitors (such
as nerol, (−)-menthol, (+)-menthol, isoborneol, (−)-bornyl acetate, limonene, α-pinene, β-pinene, α-
ionone, and eugenol) some serious discrepancies were observed between our findings and the results of
previous studies. Ethanol and methanol showed no anti-AChE activity up to 0.29% (v/v) and 0.23%
(v/v), respectively. Similarly, ethanol up to 0.33% (v/v) and methanol up to 0.29% (v/v) did not inhibit
the activity of BChE.

Conclusion:

It can be stated that the impact of alcohol should be precisely determined and that blank
“false-positive” samples should be processed together with test samples. Furthermore, the effect of the
enzyme origin on the result of this test must be taken into consideration.

Published: October 2019

New chemical agents that could combat increasing antibiotic resistance are urgently
needed. In this mini-review, an old but highly relevant RNA sequence which is crucial for the continuation
of bacterial life-cycle is covered. Some of the most significant advances of the last decade
in sensing and targeting the bacterial rRNA A-site: a well-validated binding site of proverbially
known aminoglycoside antibiotics are described. Some of the major advances in direct sensing
of the bacterial decoding side (A-site) are described and also new fluorescent molecules that are
capable of detecting lead compounds through high-throughput assays by displacement of fluorescent
probe molecules are highlighted. Lastly, some of the recently discovered non-aminoglycoside
small molecule binders of bacterial rRNA A-site as a new class of molecules that could provide
future scaffolds and molecules for developing new antibacterial agents have been discussed.
Co-culture and Mechanical Stimulation on Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Chondrocytes for Cartilage Tissue Engineering
Authors: Xie Yongfang , Wang Guohui , Chen Yawen , Ouyang Xinli , Wu Yide , Guo Shaojia
Published: October 2019

Defects in articular cartilage injury and chronic osteoarthritis are very widespread and common, and the ability of injured cartilage to repair itself is limited. Stem cell-based cartilage tissue engineering provides a promising therapeutic option for articular cartilage damage. However, the application of the technique is limited by the number, source, proliferation, and differentiation of stem cells. The co-culture of mesenchymal stem cells and chondrocytes is available for cartilage tissue engineering, and mechanical stimulation is an important factor that should not be ignored. A combination of these two approaches, i.e., co-culture of mesenchymal stem cells and chondrocytes under mechanical stimulation, can provide sufficient quantity and quality of cells for cartilage tissue engineering, and when combined with scaffold materials and cytokines, this approach ultimately achieves the purpose of cartilage repair and reconstruction. In this review, we focus on the effects of co-culture and mechanical stimulation on mesenchymal stem cells and chondrocytes for articular cartilage tissue engineering. An in-depth understanding of the impact of co-culture and mechanical stimulation of mesenchymal stem cells and chondrocytes can facilitate the development of additional strategies for articular cartilage tissue engineering.
Integrated Reservoir Characterisation for Petrophysical Flow Units Evaluation and Performance Prediction
Authors: Evans Annan Boah , Abraham Aidoo Borsah , Thompson Brantson Eric
Published: October 2019

Introduction:

An improved understanding of complex clastic reservoirs has led to more detailed reservoir description using integrated approach. In this study, we implemented cluster analysis, geostatistical methods, reservoir quality indicator technique and reservoir simulation to characterize clastic system with complex pore architecture and heterogeneity.

Methods:

Model based clustering technique from Ward’s analytical algorithm was utilised to transform relationship between core and calculated well logs for paraflow units (PFUs) classification in terms of porosity, permeability and pore throat radius of the reservoir. The architecture of the reservoir at pore scale is described using flow zone indicator (FZI) values and the significant flow units characterized adopting the reservoir quality index (RQI) method. The reservoir porosity, permeability, oil saturation and pressure for delineated flow units were distributed stochastically in 2D numerical models utilising geostatistical conditional simulation. In addition, production behaviour of the field is predicted using history matching. Dynamic models were built for field water cut (FWCT), total field water production (FWPT) and field gas-oil-ratio (FGOR) and history matched, considering a number of simulation runs.

Results:

Results obtained showed a satisfactory match between the proposed models and history data, describing the production behaviour of the field. The average FWCT peaked at 78.9% with FWPT of 10 MMSTB. Consequently, high FGOR of 6.8 MSCF/STB was obtained.

Conclusion:

The integrated reservoir characterisation approach used in this study has provided the framework for defining productive zones and a better understanding of flow characteristics including spatial distribution of continuous and discrete reservoir properties for performance prediction of sandstone reservoir.
Molecular Dynamics Mechanisms of the Inhibitory Effects of Abemaciclib, Hymenialdisine, and Indirubin on CDK-6
Authors: Basati Gholam , Saffari-Chaleshtori Javad , Abbaszadeh Saber , Asadi-Samani Majid , Ashrafi-Dehkordi Korosh
Published: October 2019

Background:

Cyclin-Dependent Kinases-6 (CDK-6) is a serine/threonine protein kinase
with regular activity in the cell cycle. Some inhibitors, such as abemaciclib, hymenialdisine, and indirubin,
cause cell arrest by decreasing its activity.

Objective:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Molecular Dynamic (MD) effects of abemaciclib,
hymenialdisine, and indirubin on the structure of CDK-6.

Methods:

The PDB file of CDK-6 was obtained from the Protein Data Bank (http://www.rcsb.org).
After the simulation of CDK-6 in the Gromacs software, 200 stages of molecular docking were run
on CDK-6 in the presence of the inhibitors using AutoDock 4.2. The simulation of CDK-6 in the
presence of inhibitors was performed after docking.

Results:

Abemaciclib showed the greatest tendency to bind CDK-6 via binding 16 residues in the
binding site with hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic bonding. CDK-6 docked to hymenialdisine and
indirubin increased the Total Energy (TE) and decreased the radius of gyration (Rg). CDK-6 docked
to hymenialdisine significantly decreased the coil secondary structure.

Conclusion:

CDK-6 is inhibited via high binding affinity to abemaciclib, hymenialdisine, and indirubin
inhibitors and induces variation in the secondary structure and Rg in the CDK-6 docked to the
three inhibitors. It seems that developing a drug with a binding tendency to CDK6 that is similar to
those of abemaciclib, indirubin, and hymenialdisine can change the secondary structure of CDK6,
possibly more potently, and can be used to develop anticancer drugs. However, additional studies
are needed to confirm this argument.
Methodological Challenges in Randomized Controlled Trials on Smartphone-Based Treatment in Psychiatry: Systematic Review
Authors: Tønning Morten Lindbjerg , Kessing Lars Vedel , Bardram Jakob Eivind , Faurholt-Jepsen Maria
Published: October 2019

Background

Smartphone-based technology is developing at high speed, and many apps offer potential new ways of monitoring and treating a range of psychiatric disorders and symptoms. However, the effects of most available apps have not been scientifically investigated. Within medicine, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the standard method for providing the evidence of effects. However, their rigidity and long time frame may contrast with the field of information technology research. Therefore, a systematic review of methodological challenges in designing and conducting RCTs within mobile health is needed.

Objective

This systematic review aimed to (1) identify and describe RCTs investigating the effect of smartphone-based treatment in adult patients with a psychiatric diagnosis, (2) discuss methodological challenges in designing and conducting individual trials, and (3) suggest recommendations for future trials.

Methods

A systematic search in English was conducted in PubMed, PsycINFO, and EMBASE up to August 12, 2019. The search terms were (1) psychiatric disorders in broad term and for specific disorders AND (2) smartphone or app AND (3) RCT. The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials electronic health guidelines were used as a template for data extraction. The focus was on trial design, method, and reporting. Only trials having sufficient information on diagnosis and acceptable diagnostic procedures, having a smartphone as a central part of treatment, and using an RCT design were included.

Results

A total of 27 trials comprising 3312 patients within a range of psychiatric diagnoses were included. Among them, 2 trials were concerning drug or alcohol abuse, 3 psychosis, 10 affective disorders, 9 anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder, 1 eating disorder, and 1 attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. In addition, 1 trial used a cross-diagnostic design, 7 trials included patients with a clinical diagnosis that was subsequently assessed and validated by the researchers, and 11 trials had a sample size above 100. Generally, large between-trial heterogeneity and multiple approaches to patient recruitment, diagnostic procedures, trial design, comparator, outcome measures, and analyses were identified. Only 5 trials published a trial protocol. Furthermore, 1 trial provided information regarding technological updates, and only 18 trials reported on the conflicts of interest. No trial addressed the ethical aspects of using smartphones in treatment.

Conclusions

This first systematic review of the methodological challenges in designing and conducting RCTs investigating smartphone-based treatment in psychiatric patients suggests an increasing number of trials but with a lower quality compared with classic medical RCTs. Heterogeneity and methodological issues in individual trials limit the evidence. Methodological recommendations are presented.
Sentiment Analysis in Health and Well-Being: Systematic Review
Authors: Zunic Anastazia , Corcoran Padraig , Spasic Irena
Published: October 2019

Background

Sentiment analysis (SA) is a subfield of natural language processing whose aim is to automatically classify the sentiment expressed in a free text. It has found practical applications across a wide range of societal contexts including marketing, economy, and politics. This review focuses specifically on applications related to health, which is defined as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

Objective

This study aimed to establish the state of the art in SA related to health and well-being by conducting a systematic review of the recent literature. To capture the perspective of those individuals whose health and well-being are affected, we focused specifically on spontaneously generated content and not necessarily that of health care professionals.

Methods

Our methodology is based on the guidelines for performing systematic reviews. In January 2019, we used PubMed, a multifaceted interface, to perform a literature search against MEDLINE. We identified a total of 86 relevant studies and extracted data about the datasets analyzed, discourse topics, data creators, downstream applications, algorithms used, and their evaluation.

Results

The majority of data were collected from social networking and Web-based retailing platforms. The primary purpose of online conversations is to exchange information and provide social support online. These communities tend to form around health conditions with high severity and chronicity rates. Different treatments and services discussed include medications, vaccination, surgery, orthodontic services, individual physicians, and health care services in general. We identified 5 roles with respect to health and well-being among the authors of the types of spontaneously generated narratives considered in this review: a sufferer, an addict, a patient, a carer, and a suicide victim. Out of 86 studies considered, only 4 reported the demographic characteristics. A wide range of methods were used to perform SA. Most common choices included support vector machines, naïve Bayesian learning, decision trees, logistic regression, and adaptive boosting. In contrast with general trends in SA research, only 1 study used deep learning. The performance lags behind the state of the art achieved in other domains when measured by F-score, which was found to be below 60% on average. In the context of SA, the domain of health and well-being was found to be resource poor: few domain-specific corpora and lexica are shared publicly for research purposes.

Conclusions

SA results in the area of health and well-being lag behind those in other domains. It is yet unclear if this is because of the intrinsic differences between the domains and their respective sublanguages, the size of training datasets, the lack of domain-specific sentiment lexica, or the choice of algorithms.
Ultrasonic Assisted Photolytic Degradation of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) Simulated Wastewater
Authors: Joseph Collin G. , Taufiq-Yap Yun Hin , Krishnan Vigneswar
Published: October 2019

The present study is based on a hybrid advanced oxidation process (AOP) of sono-photolysis system, of which sonication (35 kHz) and photolysis UV-C (254nm) were applied simultaneously to effectively degrade a selected recalcitrant dye-based pollutant, Reactive Black 5 (RB5). The influence of the solution pH and concentration were manipulated throughout this study to investigate the sonophotodegradation kinetics and synergistic effects on the RB5 degradation. Increasing the solution concentration resulted in lowered degradation rate due to the inner filter effect by the dye molecules and reduced the generation of hydroxyl radicals. The results confirmed that the sonophotolysis rate was better at basic medium (67.7%) in comparison to acidic medium (46.9%) due to the ionization of RB5. Synergistic effects were analyzed based on the first order kinetic rate model. It was found that the synergistic effect was observed for all the experiments conducted which resulted from an increase in the (•OH) radicals due to the photolysis of H2O2 formed by the sonolysis process. This hybrid system, sonophotolysis system, was able to degrade RB5 into intermediates with a total reaction time of 1h.
Effects of Retting Media Circulation and Temperature on the Fermentation Process in Soft-Texture and Low Cyanogenic Content Cassava Flour Production
Authors: Kresnowati M.T.A.P. , Bindar Yazid , Aliwarga Lienda , Lestari Dianika , Prasetya Nicholaus , Tanujaya A. R.
Published: October 2019

A fermentation process to produce soft-texture and low cyanogenic content cassava flour had been studied, in particular the effects of temperature, circulation of the retting media, and scale to the reduction of cyanogenic content and the structure of cassava. Although the effects of retting media circulation and an increase in the fermentation temperature on cyanogenic content reduction were not clearly seen, they led to more damaged cassava structure and thus improving the overall cassava flour production. On the other hand small scale fermentation led to both cyanogenic content reduction and morphological changes, giving better fermentation performance.

Authors: Sulistyo Hary , Sediawan Wahyudi Budi , Sarto Sarto , Yusuf Yusuf , Nainggolan Ronald
Published: October 2019

Coagulation and flocculation are two essential processes in water treatment. Their improvement on effectiveness and efficiency will give a significant influence for the overall process. The coagulation and flocculation processes involve a coagulant subsequently used to form flocks that can sink precipitate easily. In this research, the sample taken from Sermo Reservoir located in Kulon Progo Regency. The water was containing 320 ppm of colloid and suspended solids. Here, using a magnetic mixer stirrer, 500ml of raw water was mixed with a certain dosage of ferric sulfate in that used as the coagulant at a certain pH in a beaker glass through a high-speed mixing (240 rpm) for five minutes and low-speed mixing (60 ppm) for 10 minutes, respectively. Subsequently, the absorption was measured using UV/Visible. The result then shows 100 ppm for the optimum dosage of ferric sulfate and 9 for the optimum pH. The results indicate that a higher precipitation constant (kd) has resulted in a higher flock diameter. The correlation between the precipitation constant (kd) and the Reynolds number can be expressed as the following equation, kd = 51.98 Re0.3735 with an average relative error of 9.8%.
Making of Nanopore NaA Zeolite Membranes for Saline Wastewater Treatment
Authors: Kazemimoghadam Mansoor
Published: October 2019

Zeolite membranes have been studied extensively for more than fifteen years, mainly focusing on gas separation and liquid pervaporation processes. Recently, molecular dynamic simulation has shown that zeolite membranes are theoretically suitable for ion removal from aqueous solutions. This work proposes to use zeolite membranes for desalination of saline recycled wastewater for the possibility of avoiding the costly treatment needed for saline wastewater by Conventional approaches. NaA zeolite membrane indicates that it may be possible to simultaneously separate ions and dissolved organic compounds from water by pervaporation (PV) processes. NaA zeolite membranes composed of a continuous intergrowth of NaA zeolite crystals have been prepared hydro thermally on the surface of porous tubular supports. In this research, synthesis of zeolite NaA membrane was investigated. SEM and XRD analysis have been used to confirm zeolite NaA membrane formation. Membrane performance has been evaluated using an experimental pervaporation setup. Effects of operation condition (temperature, rate and pressure) on the membrane structure and performance have been investigated for NaA zeolite membranes grown onto seeded mullite supports.
Effect of Ultrasonic During Preparation on Cu-Based Catalyst Performance for Hydrogenation of C02 to Methanol
Authors: Nasikin M , Wahid A
Published: October 2019

Indonesia is rich in natural gas resources. These resources contain hydrocarbons and impurities such as C02. C02 creates a difficulty in further gas treatment and also becomes an environmental problem. Therefore, it is needed to develop a concept to recover this kind of gas and to convert it into more useful chemicals. Catalytic hydrogenation to methanol is one of the technologies that can be considered. Conversion of C02 to methanol can be catalyzed by Cu-based catalyst. Reported tobe the best catalyst, this catalyst is selected as a catalyst for a pilot plant that is operated at a high pressure and a high temperature. However, further development is needed to rearrange the synthesis to be operated both at lower pressure and temperature. For this system, it is needed to increase its catalytic activity. One of the alternatives is to apply a catalyst preparation method using ultrasonic effect. In this research work, CuO/ZnO/AJp3 catalyst with Cr as a promoter was prepared by co-precipitation method. The effect of ultrasonic on catalyst performance, which was irradiated to the catalyst during preparation, was investigated. Co-precipitation was conducted by using carbonate salt for respective metal cations added to the catalyst. Ultrasonic wave was irradiated to the catalyst preparation chamber with 40kHZ and time variable. The characteristics of the catalyst were analyzed by BET method for surface area, while SEM and H2 chemical adsorption were conducted to determine active site dispersion. A high-pressure continuous flow reactor was used for catalyst activity and stability test. The test was conducted at an operation condition of 30 bars and 200-30QoC. The effect of ultrasonic on the CuO/ZnO/AJp3 catalyst shows that ultrasonic irradiation enhances the catalyst surface from 23 to 50 m2/g. SEM analysis shows the change of catalyst morphology to be more uniform and the catalyst particle becomes smaller. The activity test shows that the catalyst with 60 min irradiation time has the highest activity in the hydrogenation of C02 to methanol at 30 bars and at 275°C. Keywords: Hydrogenation, dispersion, methanol, and ultrasonic.

Published: October 2019

Solid biomass materials are recognized as a sustainable energy source worldwide. In particular, lump biomass has considerable potential for exploitation as fuel in small- size underfeed stokers. The paper considers the design features of the underfeed stoker and its advantages in the burning of biomass. Some expe. i nental results are given to indicate the plant parameters to be modelled. An initial modelling approach is described for single-particle solid fuel combustion to predict flow patterns using the FLUENT Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) code. Predictions are compared against available experimental results showing reasonable qualitative and quantitative agreement. The paper concludes with information on the constraints on the modelling study and proposals for new work.

O Significado do Daime como Fonte de Conhecimento
Authors: Oliveira Amurabi , Boin Felipe
Published: October 2019

O presente trabalho busca explorar como o daime é percebido por alguns agentes que fazem uso da ayahuasca em rituais de caráter religioso, mais especificamente como tais agentes percebem o daime como fonte de conhecimento. Parte-se da crítica pós-colonial à monocultura do saber, reconhecendo a multiplicidade de formas de se produzir conhecimento no mundo. Os dados aqui apresentados são resultantes de entrevistas realizadas com daimistas da cidade de Florianópolis – SC, e buscam explorar a percepção destes sobre o daime, com isso contribuindo para um debate mais amplo sobre a produção outros saberes.

O DEBATE CONCEITUAL SOBRE RELIGIÕES “CÍVICA”, “CIVIL” E “PÚBLICA” PROPOSTO POR PAULA MONTERO E UMA REMISSÃO PARA O CASO DO BRASIL A PARTIR DE REFLEXÕES ANTERIORES DA AUTORA
Authors: Camurça Marcelo
Published: October 2019

Este texto visa comentar o debate conceitual proposto por Paula Montero

em torno das noções “religião cívica”, “religião civil” e “religião pública” através de um experimento simples: o de cotejar suas afirmações com escritos anteriores da autora onde esta examina a questão da secularização, laicidade e presença pública da religião para o caso do Brasil. Busco apreciar a potencialidade destas noções defendida por Montero neste texto, articulando com a crítica recorrente da autora em seus textos mais empíricos sobre nosso país, dando conta das limitações do “paradigma weberiano da secularização” em termos da necessária privatização e separação rígida das esferas religiosas e seculares. Por fim detecto no debate, um estado de tensão que advém com a entrada da religião no espaço público: como um elemento positivo na configuração da sociedade civil e como um elemento de embaraço às regras clássicas da esfera pública. Isto pode ser contemplado na noção de “controvérsia” da qual Montero foi uma das pioneiras no emprego e desenvolvimento, aqui no Brasil.
A RELIGIÃO FORA DA IGREJA: COMENTÁRIO AO TEXTO DE PAULA MONTERO
Authors: Giumbelli Emerson
Published: October 2019

O texto tece breves comentários ao artigo de Paula Montero, “Religião

cívica, religião civil, religião pública: continuidades e descontinuidades”. O objetivo é, junto com a autora, pensar sobre conceitos aos quais recorremos e com os quais nos deparamos em nossas pesquisas. Tomando os mesmos conceitos propostos por Montero (religião cívica, religião civil e religião pública), o foco recai sobre as questões que cada um deles e o conjunto por eles formado permitem endereçar. A mais importante delas é a da definição social do religioso.
“TIA, O QUE É RELIGIÃO?”: RELIGIÃO, CORPO E NEGOCIAÇÃO ENTRE CRIANÇAS NA CIDADE MAIS EVANGÉLICA DO PAÍS
Authors: Sá Leitão Souza Alana
Published: October 2019

Esta pesquisa investigou como crianças vivenciam sua religiosidade e

negociam suas crenças, valores e práticas. As crianças observadas eram estudantes do 3a ano do ensino fundamental (entre 8 e 9 anos) de uma escola pública de Abreu e Lima, cidade onde 41% da população se declara evangélica. Assim, este artigo se compromete a entender as negociações, compreensões e performances efetuadas por estudantes no acionamento, ou não, de suas afiliações religiosas na escola. A escola aparece como pano de fundo para discutir questões como a constituição do corpo pentecostal, a percepção do que seria religião e como os indivíduos pesquisados negociam essas categorias.
“LIBERTAÇÃO” E CONHECIMENTO: AUTOTRANSFORMAÇÃO OU VÍNCULO?
Authors: Garcia Ypuan
Published: October 2019

Este artigo debate em que medida a qualidade das palavras proferidas

por alguns cristãos brasileiros revela o aspecto vinculativo (comungatório ou de aliança) de sua “libertação”, que é dita “estar em e vir” de Deus, uma afirmação que inquieta o demônio. A localização e a origem dessa liberdade contrapõem-se a supostos corriqueiros de que libertar tenha como componente central a autotransformação. Buscarei problematizar essa diferença através de formas de enunciação disseminadas no Cristianismo: o “testemunho”, a “partilha”, a “direção espiritual”

e a “pregação”. Argumentarei que estas permitem descrever um modo de conhecimento que, em vez de revelar o indivíduo autônomo e emancipado, faz emergir através da “abertura para Deus”, de deixar que Ele “aja” e de reconhecer que não se é “nada sem Ele”, uma pessoa cuja submissão e obediência são os elementos centrais de sua liberdade.
FONOGRAFIA RELIGIOSA AFRO-GAÚCHA: O RITUAL E O GRAVADO NO CONTEXTO DE NOVAS ARTISTICIDADES
Authors: Oliveira de Almeida Leonardo
Published: October 2019

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar alguns aspectos rela-

cionados à produção fonográfica afro-gaúcha. Busco mostrar que esses fonogramas vêm possibilitando o surgimento de novos repertórios de mediação com o sagrado e o fortalecimento do que chamo de artisticidade religiosa afro-brasileira. Como pano de fundo, argumento que a compreensão da questão pressupõe a quebra de linearidades entre o terreiro e o estúdio (CD), bem como das hierarquizações unidirecionais daí decorrentes. Em complemento, afirmo que a produção fonográfica afro-gaúcha adere a modelos da indústria musical, recompondo as

relações entre o ritual e o gravado a partir de novos parâmetros: o gravado (CD, mp3, DVD, entre outros) e o ao vivo (o ritual no terreiro como um show, espaço de consolidação de artisticidades).

Stater og transnasjonale motstandsnettverk: Irans mobilisering av irakiske sjiamilitser etter 1979
Authors: U. Erstad Henriette
Published: October 2019

Den islamske republikken Iran har bygd et transnasjonalt nettverk av sjiamilitser siden 1979, ofte referert til som dens asymmetriske krigføringsstyrke og ‘strategiske dybde’. Mens det er velkjent at Iran har mobilisert disse aktørene for å styrke sin regionale posisjon, har hvordan den har gjort det blitt viet lite vitenskapelig oppmerksomhet. Denne artikkelen forsøker derfor å forklare dette fenomenet ved å undersøke hvordan Iran har mobilisert irakiske sjiamilitser siden 1979. De utvalgte analyseenhetene representerer de mest innflytelsesrike sjiamilitsene med tilknytning til Iran i Irak i dag: Badr Organisation, Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq og Kata’ib Hizbullah. Selv om variasjon eksisterer mellom dem, er alle del av et transnasjonalt nettverk som har hjulpet Iran med å delta i skjult og/eller indirekte konfliktintervensjon i Midtøsten i flere tiår. Den komparative casestudien har blitt benyttet som forskningsdesign, med prosessporing og semi-strukturerte intervjuer som metode for datainnsamling. Den empiriske analysen har blitt rettledet av et teoretisk rammeverk som har forsøkt å bygge en bro mellom contentious politics og eksisterende litteratur om dynamikken mellom stater og væpnede opprørere. De empiriske funnene antyder at Iran har opptrådt som en sekterisk entreprenør som på pragmatisk vis har kombinert sine materielle og ikke-materielle ressurser for å mobilisere likesinnede militser til å delta i kollektiv vold og fremme felles krav.
Abstract in English:
The Islamic Republic of Iran has been building a transnational network of Shi’a militias since 1979, commonly referred to as its asymmetric warfare capability and ‘strategic depth’. While it is a known fact that Iran has mobilised Shi’a militias in other countries to strengthen its regional position, how they have done it has not received much scholarly attention. The objective of this paper is to explain this phenomenon by examining how Iran has mobilised Iraqi Shi’a militias since 1979. The selected cases are the mobilisation processes of three most prominent Shi’a militias in Iraq today: Badr Organisation, Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq, and Kata’ib Hizbullah. Although variation exists between them, they are all cases of Iran’s network of armed resistance groups, which have allowed it to engage in covert or indirect conflict intervention in the Middle East. To logically connect the empirical data with the study’s research question, I have used a case study research design, with process tracing and the semi-structured interview as methods for data collection. Furthermore, the empirical analysis has been guided by a theoretical framework that has attempted to build a bridge between the existing literatures on state-militia dynamics and contentious politics.

Survei awal yang dilakukan oleh penulis adalah layanan bisnis mikro, departemen ourism dan layanan sosial di kabupaten Jember, dari mana diketahui bahwa kegunaan sistem akuntansi keuangan daerah masih belum optimal. Jadi tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis apakah pelatihan, kejelasan tujuan dan dukungan atasan mempengaruhi kegunaan dari sistem akuntansi keuangan regional. Populasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh SKPD di Kabupaten Jember, Provinsi Jawa Timur. Sampel yang diambil adalah sampel responden yang sesuai dengan kriteria dan sampel yang dibutuhkan adalah 106 responden dari 53 objek. Metode pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner. Metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: 1. Ada pengaruh positif dari faktor pelatihan terhadap manfaat SAKD. 2. Ada pengaruh positif dari kejelasan tujuan penggunaan SAKD. 3. Ada pengaruh positif dari faktor dukungan superior untuk penggunaan SAKD. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa faktor perilaku seperti pelatihan, kejelasan tujuan dan dukungan atasan memiliki peran penting untuk meningkatkan kinerja staf administrasi dalam memahami lebih lanjut tentang penggunaan SAKD. Sehingga sugesti bagi CPNS dan agensi untuk lebih meningkatkan pelatihan, kejelasan tujuan dan dukungan atasan untuk meningkatkan penggunaan SAKD.
