Authors: Kusumawardhani Mega Iranti
Published: September 2018

Platform digital sosial media memungkinkan manusia untuk dapat me-   rekam dan menyimpan bit kenangan yang hampir tak terbatas di dalamnya. Tidak hanya itu, bit kenangan dalam platform digital dapat terkoneksi dengan sesama pengguna, sehingga memudahkan manusia untuk melakukan kegiatan berbagi kenangan. Kemudahankemudahan ini menyebabkan perlakuan manusia terhadap kenangan menjadi sangat berbeda. Apabila sebelumnya manusia sibuk mengembangkan strategi mengabadikan kenangan karena keterbatasan memorinya, kini manusia sibuk mengembangkan strategi untuk dapat mencerna sesingkat mungkin bit kenangan dalam jumlah besar dan terkoneksi satu sama lain. Penggunaan komunikasi visual menjadi salah satu strategi manusia untuk dapat memaksimalkan aksesnya ke bit kenangan yang terkoneksi pada dunia digital. Facebook, Snapchat dan Path merupakan salah satu media sosial yang cukup populer, di mana masyarakat bisa melakukan kegiatan berbagi kenangan; menyimpan dan mengkoneksikan bit kenangan miliknya dengan bit kenangan pengguna lain. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menelusuri jejak-jejak komunikasi visual dari kenangan yang terkoneksi pada platform digital populer yang digunakan masyarakat digital.

Film pendek menjadi alternatif bagi para pembuat film yang menuntut kesederhanaan dalam cerita yang ia sampaikan. Prinsip struktur tiga babak dikemas dengan rapat dalam tiga hingga 20 menit durasi film, membuat banyak pembuat film untuk memilih cerita yang sederhana, dengan menggunakan karakter yang terfokus hanya pada satu atau dua karakter saja. Penggunaan banyak karakter akan menciptakan banyak plot, dan akhirnya menciptakan cerita yang mungkin akan terasa sesak jika dikemas kedalam film yang hanya berdurai 15 menit. Jurnal ini, akan membahas bagaimana ensemble charaters diterapkan pada film pendek berdurasi 16 menit, berjudul Sumpit.

Where is Goal 18? The Need for Biocultural Heritage in the Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Poole Alexandria K.
Published: September 2018

On 25 September 2015, the seventieth session of the General Assembly in the United Nations approved new Sustainable Development Goals building upon the vision of the original Millennium Development Goals. I argue that this post-2015 agenda still neglects fundamental qualities of cultural sovereignty that are key to maintaining sustainable practices, values and lifestyle habits. No single goal emphasises the need to protect local ecological knowledge, cultural heritage and alternative economic practices – nor their interrelation with biodiversity – as a pathway to sustainability. The factors that threaten sustainable lifestyles remain a conspicuous absence in the goals. The article presents a thought experiment to provoke the addition of the ‘inextricable link’ of biological, cultural and linguistic diversity to the Sustainable Development Goals: the recognition and affirmation of biocultural heritage.
Study of awareness of pharmacists about their work in the pharmacovigilance system in Ukraine and their professional activity
Authors: Mishchenko O. Ya. , Ostashko V. F. , Kovalenko E. N.
Published: September 2018

The role of the pharmacists in providing information on cases of adverse reactions (ARs) and/or lack of effectiveness of drugs in the Pharmacovigilance (PhV) Department of Ukraine is very important.

Objective: Assessment of the level of pharmacists' awareness about regulatory documents (RDs) regulating their duties to provide information about ARs and/or lack of effectiveness of drugs and their activity in this area.

The questionnaire for pharmacists was developed and used, the first seven questions of which were aimed at identifying pharmacists' awareness of their duties to provide information to the Department of PhV at the State Expert Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine about ARs and/or lack of effectiveness of drugs and their activity in filling the «Cards-message». Questioning of 70 pharmacists with different work experience (WE): 1‒5 years (12%), 5‒10 years (31%) and 10‒25 years (57%) was conducted.

50% of pharmacists with 1‒5 years WE, 64% of pharmacists with 5‒10 years WE and 75% of pharmacists with 10‒25 years WE know about obligation to provide information about ARs and/or lack of effectiveness of drugs. Only 9% of pharmacists with 5‒10 years WE independently filled and sent the «Card-message» to the department of PhV, in most cases pharmacists give the filled form to the head of the pharmacy.

Regardless of WE duration, the majority of pharmacists are aware the information about their responsibilities to provide reports about ARs and/or lack of drugs efficacy in the department of PhV and know the RDs that regulates this process. The inadequate activity of pharmacy workers to provide information about ARs and/or lack of effectiveness of drugs can be largely due to the low organization of this process at the pharmacy level and the conservatism of pharmacists with longer WE. It is advisable to increase the effectiveness of detection of ARs and/or lack of effectiveness of drugs due to activity of pharmacists in the conditions of pharmacy in Ukraine. Such professional activity of pharmacists helps to improve the quality of pharmaceutical care to the population of Ukraine.

The peripherization pressure from the global market which imposes the role of low-wage countries and/or extraction economies upon the transformation economies, is hardly opposed by the help from the Western industrializecl countries which is dominated by concurring interests, and is insufficient and often misled. There are a Jot of indications that the re-integration of the East into the international division of labour will take place in the shadow of socio-economic underdevelopment.

The left oflen sees the main culprits in lhe financial enterprises in London's city centre. But a closer investigation shows a more differentiatecl picture: many British enterprises use the City's international network for their own global expansion. As a result UK-located industry has declined, UK-based capital has been comparatively successful in global compeliton. An alternative concept of the left ean therefore not just consist of a nation-state-centered industrial poliey and a regulation of the City. Moreover, the task is lo reject the logic of international eompetition and the attempt to subordinate the market to social needs.

The well-known state and action theory deficits of the regulation theory have their cause in the problems of linking Marx' theory to economic institutionalism. The core of the problem is an adequate understancling of capitalist development, which neither suppresses that it is embedded in social and cultural conditions or that it is becoming indepedent from them. The theoretical preconditions for such an understanding are discussecl and summarized in the conception of society as a nexus of mediation in the tradition of Critical Theory.

Mensch und Meer
Authors: Biermann Frank
Published: September 2018

This essay cxplores the political economy of ocean space, i.e. the political process of appropriation and exploitation of the seas by human societies in the 20th century. The analysis focuses on two developments: the progrcssing acquisition of ocean space and marine resourccs by coastal states, and the establishment of a substantial body of legal rules governing the remaining freedom rights of states, in particular in the area of environmental protection and the safety of life at sea. A third important aspect of ocean politics is discussed in the final pmt of the essay: the growing disturbance, pmtly even destruction of marine ecosystems. The pollution of the marine environment has resulted in a paradigmatic shift in the relationship between human societies and the seas which necessitates fundamentally new approaches in the governance of ocean space.
Wasser als Ware
Authors: Guy Simon , Marvin Simon
Published: September 2018

Privatisation of British water services has dramatically reconfigurcd both production and consumption intercsts. While critics such as John Ernst decry a growing service inequity, PeterSaunders and Colin Harris celebrate enhanced consumer benefits. Closer investigation of new styles of utility network management reveal spatially complex patterns of social, econornic and environmental change. While worries over the social and public health implications of water poverly grow, the environrnental dividends of privatised water supply become clearer. The paper identifies two recently emcrging logics of networks management; the first prioritises thc shaping of demand over the expansion of supply capacity; the second prioritises the recovery of water charges over the social am! health needs of low income households. These logics highlight powerful resonanccs and dissonances between the economic and environmental bencfits of the commodification process and the social and health costs associated with a sharpening polarisation in access to basic water services.

The trcncl to the globalization of economic transactions, which is the core of the neo liberal social project, is the greatest challenge to a left-alternative counter-strategy. On the one hand, it aggravates the adjustment constraints nation states and social actors. On the other hand, it disintregatcs its social basis by deepening social and regional disparities.

Interviews with right-wing and ethnocentric young adults show that they iclentify with Germany's cconomic power and accept or reject foreign citizens according to their qualifications for work, and according the purported costs they induce. These attitudes may be also found in the society at !arge, but the interviewed supporters of the extreme right, who experienced socialization distress and stait their worklife in lower positions, display them in a very restrictive and aggressive manner.
Wege zur Solidarität
Authors: Bode Ingo
Published: September 2018

The recent strike movement in France has been seen either as a combat of public sector employees willing to save their material privileges or - in contrast - as a generalized political protest in defense of national institutions and against economic globalization. There was also !arge discord in the weakened French left about whether or not to support the movement. In this mticle it is argued that behind this discord we can see different conceptions of what should be leftist solidarity, each of them being restricted to one of its basic dimensions: the ethical and the utilitaristic one. lt will be shown that along these lines we find a deep cleavage between the academic and the syndicalistic part of the French left in which trade unions figure as social movcment organisations and therefore account for the political character of the strike movemcnt. Despite their structural capacity to enrich pattcms of group interest with ethical reasoning, these organisations fail in what has bccn offercd by thc course of the movement and scems tobe the only way out of crisis: that is confronting the two dimensions of solidarity in a deliberative setting of Ieftist politics.

Globale Finanzinnovationen, privates Computergeid und sozialisierte Schulden
Authors: Altvater Elmar
Published: September 2018

The aiticle does not deal with the security problems or the practicability of electronic money but with the economic problems it raises.They are analysed at first by the example of »pre-paid«-cards (off-line-money), especially regarding debtors, capital owners and the central bank's control possibilities. Secondly, the problems are seen in the broader framework of the globalisation of financial relations and in the context of thc formation of a »derivative capitalism« and as an expression of a »privatization« of money. The conclusion is that neither derivates nor electronic money can avoid a real consolidation of value. This shows the limits of thc »viitualisation« of (electronic) money.

The German System of higher education is quite apparently in crisis; it needs to redefine it's function and legitimize itself. In the public this is mostly discussed as a question of efficiency. In the course of the past years, conceptional agreements have been made by the state, the economy and scientific associations, upon forms of fundamental reorganization concerning the system of higher education, on the basis of measurable effectiveness in management. Tenor of the article is a detailed critical analysis of these concepts. Above all, this requires a description of the nonfunctioning areas which the system of higher education system shows today, emphasizing on historical aspects.
Osthochschulen
Authors: Paternack Peer
Published: September 2018

The 'conservative modernisation' in the East German system of higher education since 1990 resulted from strong influences: a roll back policy which took room in the debate on educational politics in unified Germany, a strong tendency of conservatism among the former 'communist' dominated academic staff in East Germany, deficites in organisational skills and perception of reform-oriented East German potential change agents, and a variety of channels and instruments for intervention used by political decision makers in Eastern Gern1any. In spite of all 'successes' of conservative restructering in East German universities, it will not be possible to apply the same simple programme to the West German system ofhigher education - even if conservative politicians would like to do so. But the clue to 'successful solutions' in East Germany could intensify the deficits oflegitimacy of West German universities in a false direction.

Studentische Politik oder politische Studentinnen
Authors: Oberndörfer Ralf
Published: September 2018

Students in Germany are a frequent topic of discussion these days. As it seems, Liberals, Green-Alternatives and Conservatives see them as the new generation that takes over the responsibility for the unified, but clueless Germany. The Radical Left does not care much about students. In their opinion, students, as always, are just too silly to become a political factor of great importance. The politically active students, on the other band, seem to have realized that in order to change the situation of higher education, a student mass movement is neither possible nor necessary. They look for new ways of political organization, forming alliances with union opposition groups, refugees and people living on welfare. This could be a first step in order to change from harmless »Student politics« into political students once again.
Normale und nicht-normale Diskurse
Authors: Thürmer-Rohr Christina
Published: September 2018

The state's financial stringency manifests a crisis which was less evident up until 1989, in the times of a richer state and the system competition with the Eastern block: the substantial crisis of the universities themselves. lt tears away facades which disclosed the uninspiredness and indecision of many of its members. Their »normal discourse« corresponds to a monological thinking, a technological concept of education, which is an expression of patriarchal logic. Feminist criticism of domination fundamentally questions this logic. lf the social sciences would choose to make human rights issues their basic orientation, the society would perhaps develop its own demand for the social science's expertise and commitment.

This article examines the role of think tanks and policy-oriented social science in the context of shifting alignments in American politics. During the 1980s, neoconservative intellectuals and businessmen politicized policy expertise through the funding of conservative think tanks and the development of a »counterintelligentsia«. The paper analyzes the impact of this political strategy on the shaping of the national agenda and traces its intluence into the 1990s, in particular policymaking in the Clinton administration. The outcome is a significant change in the relationships linking social science, elite think tanks, and the setting of national policy agendas. The essay concludes with a discussion of the troubling questions this elite relationship poses for the theory and practice of democratic government.

Editorial: Fragmentierte Staatsbürgerschaft
(Staats)Bürgerschaft ohne Staat
Authors: Wiener Antje
Published: September 2018

This paper addresses the conceptual challenge to citizenship in the aftem1ath of Maastricht and discusses citizenship in a non-state. lt argues that Union citizenship will not only lead to debates over the application of the citizenship provisions in the EU Member States, but it will also remain a subject of continuous political tension over rights to participation. The paper advances a socially constructive perspective on citizenship as a contextualised practice which entails the construction of rights, access and belonging as the historical elements of citizenship.
Staatsbürgerschaftsregime im Wandel
Authors: Jenson Jane , Phillips Susan D
Published: September 2018

The article presents a conceptualisation of 'citizenship regime' created out of a neo-institutionalist approach to political economy and then uses the concept to examine changes in the Canadian citizenship regime over time. The basic proposition is that if the postwar years were marked by regimelike discursive and practical coherence in a wide range of institutional connections between state and citizens, states' and citizens' responses to the economic and political conditions of the late 20th century are dismantling and reconstituting citizenship, so that the postwar regime exists no more.
Konzeptionen von 'Bürgerschaft' in Europa*
Authors: Preu´ß Ulrich K. , Everson Michelle
Published: September 2018

The paper poses the concept of Union citizenship as problematic and discusses possible conceptual changes to the concept of citizenship. lts goal is to clarify the historical, sociological, cultural, legal and political contexts which provide the frameworks for particular meanings of citizenship in selected Member States of the EU. To that end it starts from the hypothesis that the te1m 'citizenship' ('Bürgerschaft', 'citoyennete', ' cittadinanza') has a broader meaning than the strictly legal tem1 'nationality'. lt largely follows an approach which focuses on the social character of (political) language.

Authors: Tangermann Klaus-Dieter
Published: September 2018

In the last years the consolidation of the central American democracies did not succeed because the usual symbolic forms of political behaviour in consolidated democracies did not correspond to the traditional participatory modes of political articulations in Central America. Without the institutional recognition of these forms of participation representation of the interests of the poor majorities remain excluded from the sphere of political decision.
Demokratischer Übergang und Sozialdemokratie in Spanien
Authors: Hershberg Eric
Published: September 2018

The author argues that the Spanish transition from authoritarianism to liberal democracy as well as the so called social democratic approach to modemization have been stylized into ideal types in the Weberian sense of the term. The Spanish model has gamered widespread attention. lts influence transcends the academic sphere, as Spain has provided political elites across the world with a model of regime change, especially in Latin America and Eastem Europe, where observers are intrigued both by the facility with which transition took place and by Spain's reencounter with the prosperous zones of Western Europe. These idealizations are confronted with the real costs of Spains transition and the democratic deficits of the Spanish Socialists management of crisis.

Soziale Sicherheit als Standortproblem
Authors: Ganßmann Reiner
Published: September 2018

In the current Gennan debate about economic and social policies, the two main problems, persistent mass unemployment and a rising public debt, are attributed to the failure of the German economy to adapt to a changing global constellation. Rigidities, over-regulation and excessive expectations supported by social security income maintenance systems are held to be responsible for the loss of world market shares. These arguments attribute problems to the Gerrnan welfare state which mainly result from the burdens of unification and the economic and political transforrnation of East Ge1many. The effect of this misdirected discourse is to discredit traditional Gennan welfare state institutions while accomplishing a distributional shift in favour ofprofit and rents, with possible repercussions in terrns ofincreased contlicts.

Gewerkschaften in der »Globalisierungsfalle«?
Authors: Hoffmann Jürgen
Published: September 2018

The article focusses on the process of »globalization« as fiction and reality in order to outline both: the threats to the cooperative institutional concept of the so-called »rhenish capitalism« and the necessity of renewed trade union politics and policies within national and European labour markets. The basic proposition made is that the process of »disembedding«, which characterizes the globalization process, has to be answered by strategies of re-embedding labour and money markets by building up new fonns of regulation regimes. Taking the example of Gennany and the German trade unions, the author argues that trade unions are not only victims of the »globalization trap«, but also actors in a new framework of economic and social challenges - if they accept to be so. They have to build up new forrns of solidarity beyond trade boundaries and to push forward to socially and ecologically regulated processes ofproduction (»re-regulation«) by resisting the polilics of deregulation and by influencing the economic restructuring process.

Hat die Globalisierung den Siegeszug des Nationalstaats beendet?
Authors: Mann Michael
Published: September 2018

This essay critizes enthusiastic conceptions of globalization which suppose an extensive weakening of nation states. On the one hand, the previous autonomy of nation states is overestimated, and on the other hand, the different processes summarized by the term globalization need a more differentiated approach. This not only shows that these processes are to some extent structured by nation states but also that they contain some tendencies which strengthen nation states, as well as some tendencies weakening them.
Versäumte Aktualität - Immanuel Kants »Zum ewigen Frieden«
Authors: Jähner Uli
Published: September 2018

Kant's small political essay sketches the foundations and maxims of a global, civil republican legal status - between citizens and states and between the states themselves. Reading it today means encountering surprises among all the familiarities of a classical political text: The power of persuasion and anticipation in a historically alienated text of rational law which seems to have its topicality consistently consigned to oblivion.

Geschwindigkeit und Ökologie

In 19th century, railways and mobilization of fossile energy broke the »natural« limits of velocity. In consequence, both exploitation of fossile ressources and pollution are growing faster than ecological systems can cope with. Our current usage of velocity diminishes the chances of coming generations, without bringing real advantage to us. »De-accelaration« is the necessary alternative.
