Laparoscopic management of a migrated intragastric balloon causing mechanical small bowel obstruction: a case report and review of the literature
Authors: Hay D , Ryan G , Somasundaram M , Yip V , Navaratne L
Published: September 2019

Intragastric balloons have been used as an invasive non-surgical treatment for obesity for over 30 years. Within the last 37 years, we have found only 27 cases reported in the literature of intestinal obstruction caused by a migrated intragastric balloon. We report the laparoscopic management of such a case and make observations from similar case presentations published in the literature.

A 26-year-old woman had an intragastric balloon placed endoscopically for weight control 13 months previously. She presented to the emergency department with a four-day history of intermittent abdominal cramps and vomiting. Contrast enhanced computed tomography confirmed the presence of the intragastric balloon within the small bowel. At laparoscopic retrieval, the deflated intragastric balloon was found impacted in the terminal ileum approximately 15 cm from the ileocaecal valve. The balloon was retrieved by enterotomy and primary closure of the ileum without event.

The risk of balloon deflation and subsequent migration increases over time but several published cases demonstrate that this complication can occur within six months of insertion. The initial approach to the treatment of migrated intragastric balloons causing small bowel obstruction should be determined by the location of impaction, severity of obstruction and the available skill set of the attending radiologist, endoscopist and/or surgeon. Balloons causing obstruction in the duodenum are likely amenable to endoscopic retrieval whereas impaction within the jejunum or ileum could be managed by percutaneous needle aspiration (in selected cases), endoscopy (double-balloon enteroscopy), laparoscopy or open surgery.
New Aspects in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of Chronic Total Occlusions
Authors: Karácsonyi Judit
Published: September 2019

Coronary Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are defined as coronary lesions with Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) grade 0 flow of at least 3-month duration. Symptomatic patients with CTOs can be managed in three ways, conservatively with medical therapy, with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). CTO PCI can be challenging to perform with variable success rates, depending on operator experience and expertise, but with the development of new techniques and equipment the success rates are getting higher and the complication rates lower. In this dissertation, we focused on three aspects of CTO PCI: (a) the impact of prior failure on the outcomes of CTO PCI, (b) balloon uncrossable lesions and (c) the frequency of use and outcomes of intravascular imaging. We examined the prevalence, clinical and angiographic characteristics, management and procedural outcomes of CTO PCIs in a contemporary, large, multicenter CTO PCI registry. Prior CTO PCI failure has been associated with lower procedural success rates and is part of the Japanese Chronic Total Occlusion (J-CTO) score that was developed to predict the likelihood of successful guidewire crossing within 30 minutes. We sought to examine the impact of prior failure on the subsequent outcomes CTO PCI. The main finding of our study is that a prior failed CTO PCI attempt is associated with higher angiographic complexity, longer procedural duration and fluoroscopy time, but not with lower success and higher complication rates of subsequent CTO PCI attempts. Balloon uncrossable lesions are lesions that cannot be crossed with a balloon after successful advancement of the guidewire distal to the lesion. These lesions can be challenging to treat, requiring specialized techniques and equipment. In our study, we found that balloon uncrossable CTOs are common, are associated with high rates of technical failure, and require specialized techniques for successful treatment. Intravascular imaging can facilitate CTO PCI. Use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for stent optimization during CTO PCI has been shown to improve long-term outcomes, yet its impact on crossing has received limited study. In our study, we found that intravascular imaging is frequently performed during CTO PCI both for crossing and for stent selection/ optimization. Despite its use in more complex lesion subsets, intravascular imaging was associated with similar rates of technical and procedural success for CTO PCI.
REFLEKSYJNOŚĆ W ŚWIETLE TEKSTÓW EUROPEJSKIEGO SYSTEMU OPISU KSZTAŁCENIA JĘZYKOWEGO
Authors: Janowska Iwona
Published: September 2019

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages is a document characterized by a high level of generality, addressed to a wide range of readers. The conceptual paradigm included in the document could constitute the basis for a new trend in language didactics; however, a lot of further work and research should be carried out for the new approach to achieve the status of independent and efficient methodology. The first prerequisite for introducing necessary modifications is a reflexive approach to the recommendations of CEFR, especially those which are methodological in character. The lack of any rules or procedures showing how to facilitate the achievement of learning objectives is the most frequent objection made against the CEFR. The focus on what has to be taught should go along with how to teach and why. Reflexivity which occupies a marginal position in the CEFR has to become a priority for its users if the methodology outlined there is to constitute the new era in language didactics.
REFLEKSYJNA PRAKTYKA W NAUCZANIU JĘZYKA SPECJALISTYCZNEGO

Published: September 2019

Compared to colleagues teaching foreign languages for general purposes, who can use ready-made syllabuses or programs, the LSP teacher has to reflect on methodology at the level of course planning. The scope and nature of the proposed course content is tailored to the specific needs of a student. The analysis of these needs is based on interviews and questionnaires. There are many examples of such tools, but none of them are universal or exhaustive, nor can they be. The purpose of this article is to propose a set of parameters to facilitate investigation of the educational context, which could be a starting point for the development of questionnaires tailored to specific education needs.
ROLA REFLEKSJI W PRZYGOTOWANIU UCZNIA DO KOMUNIKACJI MIĘDZYKULTUROWEJ NA LEKCJI JĘZYKA ROSYJSKIEGO

Published: September 2019

This article attempts to identify measures for teaching and learning a foreign language with focus on the reflective and conscious approach. The objective is to develop appropriate attitudes on the part of learners towards Russia and Russians and thus to prepare them for intercultural communication during lessons of Russian as a second foreign language in school. During these lessons work on student attitudes requires the teacher to use multi-faceted techniques and forms of teaching. Among these, worth mentioning is the use of reflective visualization, comparison of cultures, and conscious emphasis of what is valuable and interesting in others. Techniques, which appeal to the emotions of students, and develop their empathy are used in the context of Russian as a second foreign language in school.
ROLA REFLEKSJI W NAUCZANIU DOROSŁYCH SŁUCHACZY KOMERCYJNYCH KURSÓW JĘZYKOWYCH
Authors: Pudo Dorota
Published: September 2019

This article examines various levels of reflection in language learning and teaching, such as reflecting on one’s own foreign language production, on the language system in general, on one’s learning habits and, in the case of the teacher, on the teaching process. The author hypothesizes that all of these are bound to change some of their characteristics depending on features such as age of the learner and learning context. The article examines reflection in adult students of commercial language courses, trying to point out that all the levels of reflection mentioned are supposed to increase in this group. Age is proved to increase language-focused reflectivity in the subjects, whereas the specific learning context might, for reasons of strong personal motivation, be an asset in encouraging learner reflections on their own learning strategies. These conclusions are nonetheless to be treated with caution, for some specific inhibitors to reflection might appear in this group as well, and further research is needed to confirm this possibility.
ŚWIADOMOŚĆ PRZEDMIOTOWA I EPISTEMOLOGICZNA NAUCZYCIELA – REFLEKSYJNEGO PRAKTYKA Z PERSPEKTYWY POLSKIEJ GLOTTODYDAKTYKI
Authors: Karpińska-Musiał Beata , Orchowska Izabela
Published: September 2019

The following article concerns the issue of educating foreign language teachers to be reflective practitioners in the Polish academic context. A starting point for our discussion is the assumption that the process of academic FL teacher education should be directed at developing the student teacher’s disciplinary and epistemological awareness. The first part of the article is devoted to the concept of glottodidactics as a research area in Poland and to the evaluation of the usefulness of theories from the field of pedeutology for the formulation of a progressive model of teacher education. Next, we define the concepts of disciplinary and epistemological awareness of FL teachers, and confront them with the notion of reflective practice (Schön, 1983) and the paradigm of reflexive modernity (Beck, Giddens and Lash, 2009). Finally, we propose a preliminary model for developing both types of awareness in tertiary education, based on specific transpositions of glottodidactic knowledge into the skills needed in the field.

This report presents the results of a study into the relationship between musical ability and the development of a phonological system by foreign language learners. Our own experiences both as a foreign language teacher and as a musical group leader have raised a number of questions and lines of enquiry. These challenge previous researchers’ findings concerning the allegedly absolutely positive effect of music on language learning and as a result this study has been undertaken.After a brief theoretical presentation, we describe the research project in which learners abilities to distinguish and produce different phonemes as well as the prosody of the language studying are analyzed. Two groups of learners were compared in this study. One group attended a music school. The second group had no musical experience. The study showed that receptive skills were not significantly different between the two groups. The group of learners with musical training was more articulate but this was the only difference. The statistical approach used in analysis of data was the Wilcoxon test.
Can preimplantation genetic diagnosis be used for monogenic endocrine diseases?
Authors: Yeager Stephanie , Mehta Shilpa , Sodhi Misha , Shah Bina
Published: September 2019

Context

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is currently used for over 400 monogenic diseases. Some endocrine conditions that occur due to monogenic defects are either life-threatening or can cause severe morbidities; thus, PGD may be an option to avoid the occurrence of such diseases.

Evidence acquisition

An initial search in PubMed/Medline search was done to identify monogenic endocrine conditions using appropriate search terms. Eleven articles (1999–2018) reported 15 cases using PGD for monogenic endocrine diseases performed at major reproductive centers. Clinical and outcome data of these cases were reviewed with respect to the number of PGD cycles, successful pregnancy rates, live births and their genetic status.

Evidence synthesis

Fifteen couples underwent 32 PGD cycles (one to nine per couple), of which 17 resulted in a pregnancy. Seven couples underwent a single PGD cycle. Four couples had successful pregnancies each resulting in live births, one couple had an unsuccessful pregnancy, one needed medical termination of pregnancy and the outcome data were not reported in one. The remaining eight couples underwent multiple PGD cycles (two to nine per couple) and all had successful pregnancies in at least one cycle resulting in 16 live births. Of the total live births, 60% were genetically unaffected and 40% were carriers of the autosomal recessive gene mutation.

Conclusions

PGD may be a potential tool for preventing the inheritance of severe monogenic endocrine diseases in future generations. Currently, the use of PGD in endocrine disorders is rare but provides a promising option on a case-by-case basis, provided the optimal resources are available.
Severe arterial hypertension and hyperandrogenism in a boy: a rare case of catecholamine- and β-HCG-secreting pheochromocytoma
Authors: Chiale Federica , Abrigo Enrica , Lonati Luca , Di Rosa Gianpaolo , Morra Isabella , Peruzzi Licia , Einaudi Silvia
Published: September 2019

Background

Pheochromocytomas (PCCs) and paragangliomas (PGLs) are known to physicians as the “great mimickers” because of their variable presentation, especially in the pediatric population. Rarely, they co-secrete other hormones.

Case presentation

An 11-year-old boy presented with severe hypertension (HTN) with cardiac target organ damage. Signs of genital and cutaneous androgenization were observed, but the gonadal volume was prepubertal (2 mL). Urine normetanephrine and norepinephrine levels were elevated. Increased beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) and pubertal testosterone values with suppressed values of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) suggested an androgenization secondary to HCG hyperproduction. Imaging revealed a right adrenal mass, suggestive for PCC. Histopathology confirmed a PCC with positive staining for β-HCG. Postoperative resolution of symptoms of β-HCG and catecholamine excess and normalization of hormonal levels confirmed the diagnosis.

Conclusions

Ectopic hormone secretion from PCC is possible, even if rare. Signs and symptoms attributable to ectopic hormones should be investigated in PCC patients. To date, this is the first case of a β-HCG-secreting PCC.
Ag nanoparticle-enhanced alkyl radical generation in photopolymerization for holographic recording
Authors: Guo Jinxin , Jian Jialing , Wang Meng , Tomita Yasuo , Cao Lin , Wang Dayong , Zhang Xinping
Published: September 2019

We report a new Ag nanoparticle-dispersed polymer nanocomposite for volume holographic recording through acrylic photopolymerization. The initial grating buildup dynamics at the inhibition stage are measured at various Ag nanoparticle concentrations. The refractive index modulation amplitude as large as 0.0069 at 633 nm is seen at the optimum Ag nanoparticle concentration of 1 wt.% with respect to the monomer. Electron paramagnetic resonance measurements show that Ag nanoparticles influence both the generation of alkyl radicals and the scavenging of oxygen in free radical photopolymerization. This mechanism intrinsically determines the molecular weight of polymer being formed and, thereby, affects the refractive index modulation amplitude of the formed grating as a function of Ag nanoparticle concentrations. Moreover, we confirm that two-beam holographic exposure leads to a periodic assembly of dispersed Ag nanoparticles using a dark-field microscopy. Our results suggest a simple way to control the photopolymerization and, therefore, to tailor polymers for practical uses.
Why Preserve? An Analysis of Preservation Discourses
Authors: Schüller-Zwierlein André
Published: September 2019

The greatest risk in preservation is lack of motivation. Why we should be in need of preservation at all, why we should need the enduring access to information, is far from agreed upon. Correspondingly, preservation institutions are continually in danger. Thus one of the most important functions of institutions is to survive. The public motivation of preservation is one of the foremost tasks of preservation institutions. It is important to analyze the pros and cons of some of the most popular current motivational discourses – those based on the termscultural treasures,cultural heritage, andcultural memory– and examine the lesser known but more effective alternatives such asintergenerational justice,tradition as an ongoing conversation, andkeeping the present accessible.In doing that, the article addresses fundamental questions concerning the function, theraison d’ȇtre, of libraries and archives. The paper concludes with a proposition for further research.
Ellipsometric inline inspection of dielectric substrates with nonplanar surfaces
Authors: Hartrumpf Matthias , Chen Chia-Wei , Längle Thomas , Beyerer Jürgen
Published: September 2019

An analytical solution for the determination of either angle of incidence (AOI) and the refractive index from combined ellipsometric and reflectometric measurements at dielectric substrates is presented. The solution is of special importance for retroreflex ellipsometry (but not limited to this application). Overcoming the geometric restrictions of conventional ellipsometers, the patented retroreflex ellipsometry can detect changes of intensity and the state of polarization in or at test objects even with curved surfaces. In contrast to conventional ellipsometers where the AOI is set by the adjustment procedure, the AOI is usually unknown in retroreflex ellipsometry. For quantitative analysis, the knowledge of the AOI is nevertheless essential. The proposed combination of retroreflex-reflectometry and retroreflex-ellipsometry opens the path to precise measurements of either surface geometry and index of refraction of nonplanar dielectric substrates (e. g. surfaces of freeform optics).
A selective fluorescence probe for copper(II) ion in aqueous solution based on a 1,8-naphthalimide Schiff base derivative
Authors: Qu Yao , Wu Yancong , Wang Cong , Zhao Kun , Wu Huilu
Published: September 2019

In order to realize real-time monitoring of Cu2+, a new fluorescent probe HL, a Schiff base derivative of N-n-butyl-4-[2]-1,8-naphthalimide, has been designed and synthesized. In methanol-HEPES [2-(4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinyl)-ethanesulfonic acid] solution (1:1, v/v, pH = 7.4) HL showed excellent selectivity towards Cu2+ over other common coexisting metal ions. The fluorescence intensity for HL showed a good linearity with the concentration of Cu2+ ions in the range of 0.5–5.0 μm. Based on combined fluorescence titration, Job’s plot analysis, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry results, Cu2+ forms a 1:2 complex with L. The fluorescence intensity of HL exhibits significant quenching after binding with Cu2+, owing to the strong, intrinsic paramagnetic behavior of Cu2+. Ultimately, in order to test the performance of the synthesized probe, HL was preliminarily applied to the determination of Cu2+ in the Yellow River and in tap water with satisfying results.

A new compound, integracid (1), together with four known compounds were isolated from the dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) extract from Artemisia integrifolia L. The structures of compounds (1–5) were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including ultraviolet, infrared (IR), high resolution-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS) and extensive one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, and by comparison with data reported in the references. Antibacterial activities of the compounds were evaluated against various bacteria.
Chemogenetic Inhibition Reveals That Processing Relative But Not Absolute Threat Requires Basal Amygdala

Published: September 2019

While our understanding of appetitive motivation has benefited immensely from the use of selective outcome devaluation tools, the same cannot be said about aversive motivation. Findings from appetitive conditioning studies have shown that basal amygdala is required for behaviors that are sensitive to updates in outcome value, but similar results in aversive motivation are difficult to interpret due to a lack of outcome specificity. The studies reported here sought to develop procedures to isolate sensory-specific processes in aversive learning and behavior and to assess the possible contribution of the basal amygdala. Post-training changes to outcome value produced commensurate changes to subsequently tested conditioned responding in male rodents. Specifically, increases in shock intensity (i.e., inflation) augmented, while repeated exposure to (i.e., habituation of) an aversive sound (klaxon-horn) reduced freezing to conditioned stimuli previously paired with these outcomes. This was extended to a discriminative procedure, in which following revaluation of one event, but not the other, responding was found to be dependent on outcome value signaled by each cue. Chemogenetic inactivation of basal amygdala impaired this discrimination between stimuli signaling differently valued outcomes, but did not affect the revaluation process itself. These findings demonstrate a contribution of the basal amygdala to aversive outcome-dependent motivational processes.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe specific content of pavlovian associative learning has been well studied in appetitive motivation, where the value of different foods can be easily manipulated. This has facilitated our understanding of the neural circuits that generate different forms of motivation (i.e., sensory specific vs general). Studies of aversive learning have not produced the same degree of understanding with regard to sensory specificity due to a lack of tools for evaluating sensory-specific processes. Here we use a variant of outcome devaluation procedures with aversive stimuli to study the role of basal amygdala in discriminating between aversive stimuli conveying different degrees of threat. These findings have implications for how we study generalized threat to identify dysregulation that can contribute to generalized anxiety.

Ontology of the Fake: Marielle Heller's Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Authors: Hardie Melissa
Published: September 2019

Can You Ever Forgive Me? adapts Lee Israel's 2008 memoir of the same name to offer a biographical portrait that challenges conventional ideas of ‘psychological ‘insight and development. In their place the film offers a celebration of the aesthetic labour of creating and being a fake. Lee Israel's success as a biographer sees her absent herself in favour of the voice of her subjects but this means she is perversely well-placed to begin their impersonation when financial hardship strikes. Melissa McCarthy's galvanising performance as Lee translates the comic gestures of heist and buddy movie into a more subtle meditation on the performative nature of identity, its fakery as well as its attachment to craft and profession. The film is similarly interested in crafting mises-en-scene of detailed period style, evoking the cinematic scene itself as the product of a style of fakery aligned with queer style and sensibility.
By Radical Means Necessary: Interview with Cristina Ibarra and Alex Rivera
Authors: Ruiz Diana Flores
Published: September 2019

Cristina Ibarra and Alex Rivera's recent film The Infiltrators uses a bold mix of film forms to tell the true story of a group of young undocumented activists who intentionally detain themselves in a South Florida immigration detention facility. Styled as a heist film, Ibarra and Rivera weave together verité footage, testimony, and reenactment to produce a compelling argument against immigration detention. In Diana Ruiz's interview, Ibarra and Rivera discuss the ways in which The Infiltrators problematizes extractive modes of documentary film and how the project's requisite reenactment brought about unexpected results. They also discuss the creative and political dimensions of “undocumented storytelling,” which relates to the filmmakers' enduring commitment to depicting fully dimensional representations of immigrants and Latinx experiences.
Theory and Ethnography of Affective Participation at DIY Shows in U.S.
Authors: Verbuč David
Published: September 2019

Many scholars have argued that live concerts constitute a community. My question in this article is how is this achieved, what kind of community is generated in the process, and how do we analytically approach answering these questions? In this regard, Thomas Turino suggests that community can be generated through an active and synchronous physical and music-related participation at live events. As a corrective to his deductive model of participatory and presentational music, I propose an inductive model of socio-musical participation, based on practices of DIY (“do-it-yourself”) music communities in the US. In the article, I engage with various theories of audience participation, as well as analyze different types of DIY music participation through the ethnographic study of American DIY shows. The interaction between DIY performers, audiences, and organizers, and the various forms of their social and musical participation at DIY shows suggest not only physical, music-related, and synchronous, but also spectatorial, non-synchronous, and co-creational participation; and not only harmonious but also antagonistic participation. This approach utilizes affect theory, recognizes difference and conflict in the constitution of a music community, and refutes some prevalent assumptions about the notion of audience participation.
Promoting Social Change Through Audio Repetition1
Authors: Cooper B. Lee
Published: September 2019

The development of contemporary American music is clearly reflected in the integration of black composers, performers, and their songs into mainstream popular record charts. Between 1953 and 1978 a fascinating role reversal occurred. During that quarter century black artists shifted from creators to revivalists. The same role reversal did not apply to white artists, who tended to evolve along a more consistent audience-acceptance continuum. How can this 25-year cycle of social change best be illustrated? What particular elements of black music dramatically entered the pop spectrum during the fifties, and later gained dominance by the end of the sixties? Why did black artists become more and more conservative during the late seventies? A careful examination of audio repetition – cover recordings and song revivals – offers a great deal of revealing information about changes in social, economic and artistic life in America after 1953.
Vaporwave
Authors: McLeod Ken
Published: September 2019

This article investigates various aspects of the popular online music genre known as vaporwave in order to understand how it functions as a form of socio-economic critique while problematizing aspects of identity. It begins by discussing some of the prominent features and objectives of vaporwave. Although there is much ambiguity in the overall attitude and message of vaporwave, its main unifying ideology is the re-configuration of pop music from the 1970s and ‘80s in order to critique and parody consumerism and corporate culture. With an analysis of one of the most well-known examples of vaporwave, Macintosh Plus’ Floral Shoppe (2011), the article explores the relationship of vaporwave to techno-Orientalism and the genre’s recent pernicious co-option by the conservative alt-right movement in the forms of Fashwave and Trumpwave.
I Play for You Who Refuse to Understand Me
Authors: Murphy Timothy S.
Published: September 2019

In Italy, the counterculture of the Sixties lasted until 1979, when it perished in the clash between two paranoias: the Italian state’s fear of terrorism and the radical social movements from which it arose, and the terrorists’ fear of the state’s authoritarianism. Popular musicians were trapped between these paranoias, and their music searches to escape from both while chronicling the closing of the space between them, the only space in which countercultural social and artistic experimentation could take place. This essay focuses on the Italian “international POPular group” Area, which acted, in opposition to the generalized paranoia of the period, as a switching station linking progressive rock, electronic music, free jazz, global indigenous music, Fluxus sound experiments and postmodernist poetics with anti-militarist, anti-racist, socialist-feminist politics independent of the existing political party system. To create those links, the band was compelled to subvert the conventions of pop music from within and to move beyond pop’s traditional boundaries into unstructured improvisation and avant-garde formal exploration. Area singer Demetrio Stratos’s death in 1979 coincided with the Italian state’s final crackdown on terrorism and the counterculture and marked the end of the richest countercultural experiment on earth, which still has much to teach us.
Southern Sounds, Northern Voices
Authors: Shuvera Ryan Ben
Published: September 2019

Wilf Carter (Montana Slim) crossed the Canadian-U.S. border in 1935 to further his career as a country musician. Hank Snow moved to Nashville in 1945, reaching the stage of the Grand Ole Opry in 1950. Twenty-one years later Neil Young settled into Nashville’s Quadraphonic Sound Studio to record songs that would be featured on the album Harvest. Today, Nashville’s New West Records represents country-inspired Canadian musicians Daniel Romano and Corb Lund. These artists make up part of a notable history of northerners blending North American identities through country music. A significant and overlooked part of this history came to light in 2014 with the release of the Native North America (Vol. 1): Aboriginal Folk, Rock, and Country 1966-1985 compilation from Light In The Attic Records. NNA (Vol. 1) is a collection of limited releases from Indigenous musicians from across Canada and Alaska. It is significant because it makes audible that Indigenous musicians performed—and continue to perform—country, folk, and rock music, challenging the borders and identities forced on them through settler-colonialism. These artists bring together southern sounds and northern voices—often using northern Indigenous languages—to articulate different experiences under North American colonization. This paper begins to explore how artists such as Willie Dunn, John Angaiak, and William Tagoona unsettle North American boundaries and identities through country music. This paper also begins to explore the opportunities and challenges this compilation presents to white settler listeners.
Music All Up and Down the Street
Authors: DeCoste Kyle
Published: September 2019

This article takes James Baldwin’s only children’s book, Little Man, Little Man: A Story of Childhood, as a starting point to explore his theorizations of music, affect, and childhood. Based loosely on the lives of his nephew and niece as well as his own memories of childhood, the book follows children protagonists and friends TJ, WT, and Blinky as they play in the streets of 1970s Harlem. They jump rope, play ball, interact with their adult neighbors, and witness the effects of police surveillance and drug abuse on their community. Baldwin argues that, through these experiences, Black children grow up with the myth of American innocence quickly dispelled and are thus not naïve to the past and present of the United States’ structural racism. Music is integral to Baldwin’s exploration of the affective contours of Black childhood. When community is threatened by white supremacy, music repeatedly enters the story to repair communal ties. To Baldwin, Black-identified musics (especially jazz and the blues) are essential to experiencing joy amid hardship and pain, and he uses the blues to communicate a metaphysics of blackness. Combining archival sources, literary analysis, affect theory, and Black studies, this article listens to the joys, fears, hopes, and pains of Black childhood that Baldwin renders audible. It complicates white notions of childhood innocence and shows music’s importance in experiencing joy and sustaining struggle.

Actio Pauliana as the Rights Protection Efforts for Creditors in the Bankruptcy Case
Authors: Pangestu Puja Dwi
Published: September 2019

The implementation of a debt agreement is often found in bad faith by the debtor where the debtor is unable to pay off his debts. When the debtor is deemed unable to pay off all of his debt, the debtor can voluntarily submit palitit to the Commercial Court. Submission of bankruptcy can also be applied by creditors, of course, bankruptcy permits by debtors or creditors must fulfill the conditions mandated in the bankruptcy law. When debtors are declared bankrupt, all assets owned by the debtor are collateral for their debts.However, in its implementation, it is often found that ill will is carried out by the debtor, namely when the debtor feels that he is no longer able to repay his debts, the debtor transfers his assets to the third party for his own benefit. To protect the interests of each creditor then curator can make an action with actio pauliana, , Actio Pauliana is cancellation of all of the legal action of the assets taken by debtors. The research objective of this article is to know and understand the bankruptcy determination process based on the Bankruptcy Act and how actio pauliana attempts to protect the rights of each creditor.

Revitalisasi ideologi dalam perspektif Islam, baik pada tingkat nasional maupun global selalu bermuara pada aspirasi dan tuntutan untuk mengimplementasikan syariat atau hukum Islam secara total (kaffah). Dalam Negara hukum Indonesia, aspirasi dan tuntutan semacam itu tidak selalu bisa dipenuhi. Hal ini karena Negara hukum Indonesia, sejak awal dibangun atas dasar semangat kebangsaan yang didasarkan atas prinsip ketuhanan, kemanusiaan, keadilan, dan kesetaraan atau persamaan bagi setiap warga Negara didepan hukum. Oleh karena itu aspirasi dan tuntutan penerapan syariat Islam selalu mengalami kendala bila didalamnya terdapat unsur diskriminatif atau unsur lain yang dapat menghilangkan jaminan dan perlindungan terhadap hak asasi warga negara yang sudah dijamin oleh konstitusi. Paper ini akan menjelaskan tentang pengertian dan karakter syariat, tujuan syariat, model-model penerapan syariat di sejumlah Negara Muslim, model atau teori penerapan syariat Islam di Indonesia menurut sejumlah pakar, pilihahan atau alternative yang bisa digunakan untuk memperjuangkan aspirasi dan tuntutan implementasi syariat Islam di Indonesia dan ditutup dengan simpulan. Revitalization of ideology in Islamic perspective, both at national and global level always leads to aspirations and demands to implement sharia or Islamic law in total (kaffah). Within the legal State of Indonesia, such aspirations and demands can not always be met. This is because the Indonesian state of law, from the beginning built on the spirit of nationality based on the principle of divinity, humanity, justice, and equality or equality for every citizen in front of the law. Therefore, the aspirations and demands of the application of Islamic Sharia always experience constraints if in it there are discriminative elements or other elements that can eliminate the guarantee and protection of citizens rights that have been guaranteed by the constitution. This paper will explain the understanding and character of the Sharia, the purpose of Sharia, models of Sharia application in some Muslim countries, the model or theory of application of Islamic Shariah in Indonesia according to some experts, alternatives or alternatives that can be used to fight for aspirations and demands of the implementation of Islamic Shariah Indonesia and concluded.

Setiap peraturan perundang-perundangan dalam Negara Indonesia harus dapat menjamin dan menjadi sarana bagi perwujudan persatuan dalam negara yang dibangun di atas kondisi masyarakat yang majemuk, termasuk dari sudut agama dan kepercayaan. Di Indonesia, persoalan kerukunan antar ummat beragama dan intra umat beragama diatur dalam Undang-Undang tentang Kerukunan Umat Beragama. Selain itu, Indonesia juga telah memberlakukan Undang-Undang Nomor 1/PNPS/Tahun 1965 tentang Pencegahan Penyalahgunaan dan/atau Penodaan Agama. Selain itu, pada level masyarakat muslim Indonesia, Majelis Ulama Indonesia telah menerbitkan Fatwa Majelis Ulama Indonesia mengenai kerukunan antarumat beragama. Namun, walaupun pengaturan tersebut telah ada, tampaknya kerukunan antar dan intra umat beragama masih menjadi problem di tengah-tengah masyarakat Indonesia. Paper ini akan menganalisis tentang keberadaan beberapa peraturan perundang-undangan yang substansinya berhubungan dengan upaya menciptakan kerukunan umat beragama di Indonesia, termasuk apakah untuk isu kerukunan umat beragama memang perlu diatur secara khusus di dalam suatu undang-undang.Every legislation and regulation in Indonesia must be able to ensure and facilitate the embodiment for Indonesian unity in a state that build by diversity society conditions, which included diversity in religion and faith.

Currently, Indonesian Government through Ministry of Religion has issued Draft of Act on Living in Harmony among Religious Adherents. Even though those efforts have been done, but still there were intolerances or discriminations and still being a problem among people in Indonesian society. This paper will be focused on how Indonesian legal system, especially in form of written law such as act and other official regulations, regulates or deals with efforts to pursue living in harmony among religious adherents. And also will be discussed whether it is important or not to form a new act that will specially regulate issue on living in harmony among religious adherents in Indonesia.

Kasus kekerasan seksual terhadap tahanan perempuan masih sering terjadi di beberapa kantor kepolisian diantaranya di Markas Kepolisian Sektor Kota Wajo, Markas Kepolisian Resor Poso dan Markas Kepolisian Resor Kota Jayapura. Pelakunya ternyata tidak hanya dilakukan oleh tahanan laki-laki saja namun ditemui juga bahwa aparat petugas kepolisian turut menjadi pelakunya. Oleh karena itu timbul beberapa permasalahan diantaranya adalah faktor apa saja yang menjadi penyebab terjadinya kekerasan seksual terhadap tahanan perempuan di dalam kantor kepolisian dan upaya hukum apa saja yang dapat dilakukan sebagai wujud perlindungan hukum terhadap tahanan perempuan khususnya yang menjadi korban kekerasan seksual di dalam tahanan kantor kepolisian. Dari hasil penelitian yang dilakukan penulis, kasus kekerasan seksual ini disebabkan oleh adanya faktor internal dan eksternal. Faktor internal diantaranya seperti faktor kejiwaan, kebutuhan biologis dan moral dari para si pelaku itu sendiri sedangkan faktor eksternalnya adalah adanya kesempatan yang didapat oleh pelaku seperti kelalaian/lemahnya penjagaan yang dilakukan oleh aparat petugas kepolisian dan faktor letak ruang sel tahanan laki-laki dan perempuan yang berada pada posisi berdekatan. Untuk mencegah dan menanggulangi kekerasan seksual tersebut, maka diperlukan adanya suatu upaya-upaya yang harus dilakukan oleh pihak pemerintah dan lembaga kepolisian yaitu dengan memperbaiki sarana dan prasarana penahanan di kantor kepolisian dan memperketat pengawasan atau penjagaan tahanan.Cases of sexual violence against female detainees are still common in several police stations such as at the Wajo City Police Station, Poso City Police Station and Jayapura City Police Station. The crimes are not committed by male detainees only but also by the police officers. Hence arise some problems what are the factors that become the cause of sexual violence against female detainees in police stations and what kind of remedy that can be taken as a form of legal protection towards female detainees particularly the victims of sexual violence at the police station. From the results of research by the author, cases of sexual violence against female detainees are caused by internal and external factors. Internal factors such as psychological factors, biological needs and moral of the offender itself, while external factors are the opportunities gained by actors such as omission or lack of security of the police officers and the location between male and female cell at the adjacent position. To prevent and combat sexual violence against female detainees, it is necessary to have an effort that must be undertaken by the government and police agencies such as improving the facilities and infrastructure of the detention center at the police station and tighten the supervision or security of detainess.
Historisitas Hukum Kewarisan Islam Perspektif David S. Powers dan Implementasinya di Indonesia
Authors: Rohidin Rohidin
Published: September 2019

Artikel ini memiliki fokus terhadap studi David S. Powers tentang hukum kewarisan Islam dan implementasinya di dunia muslim. Sebagai studi kasus, penulis mengangkat topik materi hukum kewarisan Islam yang terhimpun dalam Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI). Salah satu tesis yang dihasilkan Powers dari studinya mengatakan bahwa masyarakat muslim saat ini sebenarnya tidak memiliki pembacaan dan pemahaman yang tepat atas beberapa ayat al-Qur’an dan hadis atau sistem waris yang diterima oleh Nabi Muhammad. Apa yang dikonsepsikan dan dilakukan oleh masyarakat muslim berkaitan dengan kewarisan pada dasarnya merupakan buah dari dialektika antara aturan kewarisan dalam al-Qur’an dan hadis dengan realitas sejarah itu sendiri yang disebut farā’iḍ. Demikian halnya dengan KHI, materi-materi hukum yang termaktub dalam pasal per pasalnya jamak yang tidak sejalan dengan realitas redaksional teks al-Qur’an maupun hadis. Materi-materi hukum dalam KHI jamak didasarkan pada farā’iḍ, yang sudah barang tentu syarat dengan dinamika kesejarahan. Oleh sebab itu, KHI tidak lagi dapat menjawab problem-problem kontemporer yang terus berkembang.
