PENGELOLAAN AIR ASAM TAMBANG DARI DINDING BEKAS PENAMBANGAN SEBAGAI ALTERNATIF PENANGGULANGAN PENCEMARAN LINGKUNGAN: STUDI KASUS TAMBANG BATU HIJAU, NUSA TENGGARA BARAT
Authors: Suryadi Muhammad
Published: May 2020

Tulisan ini akan menunjukkan dan membuktikan bahwa dinding tambang merupakan sumber penghasil air asam terbesar setelah kegiatan penambangan selesai. Kegiatan pembukaan lahan yang menyentuh batuan yang mengandung mineral sulfida berpotensi menghasilkan air yang bersifat asam. Air asam ini dapat mencemari lingkungan apabila mengalir ke perairan. Air asam tambang yang dihasilkan dari dinding tambang memiliki kontribusi yang paling besar dalam pencemaran lingkungan apabila tidak dikendalikan. Limpasan air asam dari dinding tambang ke lingkungan akan menimbulkan masalah lingkungan serius antara lain hilangnya biota air yang sensitif terhadap keasaman sehingga akan mengganggu rantai makanan yang ada. Oleh sebab itu, perlu dilakukan upaya antisipatif sebelum hal itu terjadi. Upaya inilah yang akan ditunjukan dari Â hasil penelitian ini. Lokasi penelitian dipilih di Tambang Batu Hijau, Nusa Tenggara Barat dengan pertimbangan bahwa lokasi tersebut merupakan tambang terbuka terbesar di Indonesia yang 80% dinding tambangnya menghasilkan air asam. Langkah awal penelitian ini adalah menghitung besarnya potensi air asam yang dihasilkan setelah penambangan selesai dengan menggunakan metode sampling. Setelah itu, akan dilakukan upaya pencegahan agar air asam yang dihasilkan tersebut tidak melimpah dan mengalir ke lingkungan yang dapat mencemari perairan. Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh dua metode pengelolaan untuk mencegah agar air asam yang dihasilkan tersebut tidak melimpah dan mengalir ke lingkungan. Metode pencegahan terdiri atas dua, yaitu metode statis (pasif) dan dinamik (aktif). Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa kedua metode ini efektif untuk mengendalikan air asam tambang dan dapat dijadikan alternatif pencegahan dan penanggulangan pencemaran lingkungan dari bekas kegiatan penambangan.Â Â

Pemanfaatan Abu Kayu sebagai Bahan Aditif Glasir Suhu Tinggi
Authors: Putra Natas Setiabudhi Daryono , Yana Deni
Published: May 2020

Penambahan abu pada glasir masih jarang dilakukan oleh seniman, desainer atau kriawan keramik Indonesia. Padahal abu memberikan tekstur permukaan yang unik, berbeda dengan karakter glasir pada umumnya. Output penelitian ini adalah formula/resep glasir dan table analisis abu yang nantinya bisa digunakan oleh pihak yang berkepentingan. Pada dasarnya abu identik dengan glasir. Keduanya melapis tipis (menyerupai kaca) permukaan bodi keramik. Hanya lapisan kaca yang terbentuk dari abu tidak sepadat jika menggunakan glasir. Abu mengandung unsur-unsur seperti yang terdapat dalam glasir, seperti kapur, zink, mangan, kuarsa, cooper dan iron. Secara praktik abu tidak dapat digunakan sebagai unsur tunggal, harus diberi unsur lain agar titik leburnya menjadi lebih rendah. Dalam penelitian ini, abu diperoleh dengan cara membakar kayu menggunakan tungku bata merah sederhana (rocket stove). Cara tersebut bisa memperoleh abu yang bersih tidak terkontaminasi oleh unsur-unsur lain. Â Efek yang diperoleh dari abu pada glasir tergantung dari kandungan unsur-unsur yang terdapat dalam tanah. Abu yang berasal dari tanaman yang hidup di lingkungan tropis diasumsikan berbeda dengan iklim yang mengenal 4 musim. Hal ini membutuhkan penelitian lebih dalam lagi untuk menjawab fenomena tersebut. Diharapkan penelitian ini juga dapat digunakan oleh kalangan perajin IKM yang ada di Indonesia. Sentra keramik Plered Purwakarta merupakan pilot project untuk penelitian ini. Sebagaimana diketahui sentra keramik ini dikenal sebagai sentra gerabah pembuat guci/pot yang memiliki suhu bakaran rendah. Diharapkan jika memberikan nilai ekonomis lebih, perajin satu ini (mitra IKM) dapat menularkan ke yang lainnya sehingga menciptakan diversifikasi produk di sentra keramik Plered.Kata kunci: Abu, Kayu, Glasir, Keramik

PANCASILA DAN TASAWUF VIS-Ã€-VIS KORUPSI: PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER DALAM MELAWAN â€˜MUSUH BERSAMAâ€™ DI ERA 4.0
Authors: Purwanto Yedi , Saepudin Epin , Munaf Dicky Rezadi , Haq Sansan Ziaul
Published: May 2020

Korupsi adalah musuh utama demokrasi yang dalam praktiknya banyak berjalin kelindan dengan proses demokratisasi itu sendiri. Dalam konteks Indonesia, berbagai upaya pemberantasan korupsi telah dilakukan disatu sisi, namun dalam praktiknya korupsi seakan menjadi pandemi nasional yang tak ada habis-habisnya. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa korupsi masih merupakan ancaman terberat bagi upaya memajukan negara, karena dapat menimbulkan kerugian yang sangat besar dan pada gilirannya dapat membawa krisis di berbagai aspek, baik moril maupun materil. Indonesia sebagai negara hukum sudah memiliki instrumen untuk pemberantasan korupsi, namun hingga saat ini belum dapat memberi efek jera bagi para koruptor. Islam sebagai agama mayoritas penduduk di Indonesia menempatkan nilai-nilai moral-spiritual sebagai basic value bagi kehidupan, termasuk dalam hal menanggulangi praktik-praktik korupsi. Tulisan ini mencoba mengajukan pendekatan character building berdasarkan nilai-nilai pancasila dan tasawuf sebagai solusi alternatif dalam upaya pembudayaan anti-korupsi di era 4.0. Internalisasi nilai-nilai karakter ini pada masyarakat luas diharapkan dapat mendampingi usaha pencegahan dan pemberantasan korupsi yang ditempuh melalui jalur hukum.Â Â

Authors: Rajbhandari Sarina , Kao Chuan-Hsiang
Published: May 2020

Asian rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult and challenging surgeries in facial plastic surgery. As many Asians desire a higher nasal bridge and a refined nasal tip, they undergo various augmentation procedures such as artificial implant grafting and filler injections. Autologous rib graft is a very versatile graft material that can be used to augment the nose, with lesser complications, if done precisely. In this chapter, we have discussed the steps of rib graft harvesting, carving and setting into the nose to form a new dorsal height.
Role of Interferon in Cancer Metabolism
Authors: Chandel Vaishali , Kumar Dhruv
Published: May 2020

Interferons (IFNs), a pleotropic cytokine that has long been regarded as an important effector molecule, are increasingly recognized due to their role in cancer and in antitumor immune response regulation. Interferons broadly alter cellular functions in response to viral and other infections. Dysregulation of interferon has been implicated in cancer, autoimmune disorders, and pathogenesis of chronic viral infections. However, the association between interferons and cancer cell metabolism is poorly understood. Emerging evidence suggests the importance of lipid, energy, and amino acid metabolic pathway in regulating interferon response against cancer. Additionally, viruses exploit and modulate the host cell and induce the major metabolic reprogramming causing cancer. In response, interferons upregulate the transcription of large number of interferon stimulating gene (ISG) whose products play a major role in the innate and adaptive immune response against viral infection. Immense research is being done on understanding the role of IFNs in cancer metabolism. Therefore, systematic evaluation of these associations between interferons and cancer metabolism may have important implications for the development of anticancer therapeutics targeting IFN, minimizing toxicity, and limiting off-target effects.
Road-Mapping for a Zero-Carbon Building Stock in Developed and Developing Countries
Authors: Schwede Dirk
Published: May 2020

Given the global climate crises, the enormous construction activity and the rising demand for comfortable living spaces around the world, it is not only the task for today to explore the feasibility of zero-energy buildings based on advanced technology concepts, but also the task for a zero-carbon future to transform the entire building stock. This chapter explores an integrated road-mapping approach to guide the various relevant levels of global, regional and national governance, on sector level as well as on the level of individual buildings. It will explore how key technologies, individual building configurations, infrastructure and the governance framework can be strategically developed in specific market contexts to achieve ambitious performance goals in the given time frame. It also introduces the concept of individual building renovation roadmaps and design features to be prepared in new and existing buildings to enable the retrofit of key technologies when they become economically and technically feasible in the given market. The roadmap approach with a clear performance target and a mid- and long-term vision is paramount since market conditions do not exist yet to implement such buildings in all market situations today. The text presents the concept of transformation roadmaps on the various levels of implementation and introduces examples.
Traveler’s Infections: Overview of Hepatitis B Virus Infection
Authors: B. Oti Victor
Published: May 2020

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a double-stranded circular DNA virus that infects the hepatocytes. HBV infection is considered as an important public health concern globally especially with one-third of the world’s population been infected. Local and international migrants are one of those population at high risk of the infection. Many factors interplay in the acquisition of HBV such as purpose of travel, destination endemicity rate of the virus, time of stay of the traveler, inadequate prevention and control measures, among others, understanding the genotypes of HBV is critical in correlating the evolution of the virus and migration of humans and also treatment responses of infected population. The symptom of the virus ranges from fever to jaundice and to a liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Transmission of HBV is commonly via horizontal route in developing regions and in the developed regions; transmission occur more often among adults that use injectable drugs and high-risk sexual behaviors. Therefore, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) have recommended HBV screening and vaccination to all travelers without an HBV immunization history before traveling to endemic regions. This chapter gives an overview on HBV as a potential traveler’s infection.
Spontaneous Carotid Artery Dissection Presenting as Trigeminal Neuralgia in the Emergency Department
Authors: Look Robert , Terlau Thomas , Misek Ryan
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Carotid artery dissection (CAD) is a critical diagnosis in the emergency department (ED). Trigeminal neuralgia, while not uncommon, may cause the patient significant discomfort but generally is not attributed to severe morbidity and mortality.

Case Report: We present a case of spontaneous CAD presenting with the classic intermittent “lightning-like” jaw and head pain suggestive of trigeminal neuralgia that was ultimately diagnosed utilizing computed tomography angiogram after multiple visits to the ED.

Discussion: Coincidentally the patient had been started on anticoagulation a few days prior and no additional intervention was required.

Conclusion: This case report discusses current recommendations for diagnosis, treatment, and long-term prognosis of CAD.

Published: May 2020

Case Presentation: We describe the presentation to the emergency department of a patient with recurrent ovarian cancer treated with bevacizumab with the complication of bowel perforation.

Discussion: We review the frequency and outcomes of bevacizumab-related bowel perforation. We also report the patient’s imaging findings, including the radiologic presentation of free intraperitoneal air and portal venous gas, both indicative of bowel perforation and the need for emergent surgical evaluation. Our case also illustrates the potentially catastrophic side effects of bevacizumab and other targeted oncologic therapies of which emergecny physicians may not be aware.
Serotonin Syndrome versus Cannabis Toxicity in the Emergency Department
Authors: Baltz Jacob , Le Lamanh
Published: May 2020

As more states legalize marijuana, the potential of marijuana abuse could lead to an increase in the number of emergency department (ED) visits. We describe two patients who presented to the ED with dilated pupils, rigidity in both lower extremities, and clonus in both feet after inhaling the vapor of a highly potent form of marijuana. Serotonin syndrome diagnosis was initially considered in the differential diagnosis. Ultimately, high-potency marijuana abuse was the final diagnosis. Therefore, marijuana toxicity should be considered in ED patients who present with signs and symptoms similar to that of serotonin syndrome.
Cardiac Memory-induced T-wave Inversions
Authors: Polito Sara , Giordano Jonathan , Cooper Benjamin
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Cardiac memory refers to T-wave inversions that result when normal ventricular activation resumes following a period of abnormal ventricular activation.

Case Report: We present a case of a 29-year-old man with a pacemaker who presented with new, deep symmetric T-wave inversions caused by cardiac memory.

Discussion: Abnormal ventricular activation is most commonly induced by ventricular pacing but can also occur in the setting of transient left bundle branch blocks, ventricular tachycardia, and intermittent ventricular pre-excitation.

Conclusion: Recognition of this phenomenon may help to reduce unnecessary admissions, cardiac testing, and cardiac catheterizations.
Effects of Balance Training on Postural Control of Children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Authors: Moradi Jalil , Jalali Shamsi , Bucci Maria Pia
Published: May 2020

Background: Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have shown deficiencies in many physical activities in comparison with normally developing children. One of the problems of these children is the balance and postural control. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of balance training on postural control of children with ADHD. Methods: Thirty children with ADHD participated in this study and were divided randomly into experimental and control groups. The experimental group performed balance training three times per week for seven weeks. During this period, the control group did not experience any exercises but continued their normal activities. The Biodex balance system (BBS) was used to evaluate static and dynamic balance. Results: The balance training significantly increased static and dynamic balance in the experimental group (P < 0.001), while the balance scores of children with ADHD in the control group did not change. Participants in the experimental group also performed static and dynamic balance tests significantly better than members of the control group (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The results showed that specific balance training improves postural control of children with ADHD. These balance trainings probably lead to an adaptive mechanism in the sensory process and cerebellar integration of children with ADHD.

Published: May 2020

Background: Pre-operative differentiation of benign from malignant cervical adenopathies remains a challenge. Several studies indicate parameters to discriminate between benign and malignant lymph nodes, which has not yet been enough. Objectives: The aim of the current study was to assess the diagnostic efficacy of diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) to differentiate benign from malignant cervical lymph nodes. Patients and Methods: In all patients, we assessed axial and coronal fast spin echo T2 and T1-weighted images and T1-weighted after contrast injection. DWI sequences were implemented before contrast injection, in axial and coronal planes (b factor of 50, 500 and 1000 s/mm2) and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps were reconstructed. Data were assessed in mixed model analysis and results were compared with postoperative histopathologic findings. Results: Thirty seven subjects were enrolled, 10 with benign lymphadenopathy and 27 patients with malignant lymphadenopathies before treatment. The mean ADC of the benign neck lymph nodes was (1.00 ± 0.34) × 10-3 mm2/s, while it was (0.76 ± 0.16) × 10-3 mm2/s in malignant ones (P = 0.058). The mean ADC of the metastatic nodes was (0.81 ± 0.14) × 10-3 mm2/s, while it was (0.56 ± 0.04) × 10-3 mm2/s in lymphoma (P < 0.001). The mean ADC of poorly differentiated metastatic nodes was significantly lower than that of good and moderately differentiated ones [(0.86 ± 0.13) × 10-3 mm2/s vs. (0.66 ± 0.02) × 10-3 mm2/s respectively; P = 0.001]. The area under the ROC curve of ADC was 0.69 [95%CI = 0.52 - 0.83]. Considering cut off points of 0.6 × 10-3, 0.95 × 10-3, and 1.2 × 10-3 yielded sensitivities were 15%, 92.5%, and 100%, respectively; while, in these cutoff points, specificities were 80%, 50%, and 40%, respectively. Conclusion: DWI could be considered as an important diagnostic tool to differentiate enlarged cervical lymphadenopathies.

Authors: Zhao Qing , You Jianxiong , Wang Jingbing , Fan Xindong
Published: May 2020

Background: Angiodysplasia (AD) is a common cause of otherwise unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia and it increases in frequency with aging. Objectives: To investigate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in treating gastrointestinal bleeding caused by angiodysplasia. Patients and Methods: A total of 12 patients (five men, seven women; mean age: 50 ± 18 years; range: 31 - 82 years) with gastrointestinal bleeding, who had failed after endoscopic therapy and were not eligible for surgery, were treated via TAE. The presentations of patients included hematemesis (n = 2), melena (n = 7), and hematochezia (n = 5). The details of procedures and follow-up records were reviewed. Results: The procedures of TAE were performed using poly vinyl alcohol particles and/or coils. The procedures were achieved and the hemorrhage was controlled in all cases. In three patients, the small AD lesions were not found during the first session of angiography, but were instead detected on the repeated angiography conducted one week later. All the patients were discharged without any severe complications. No rebleeding occurred within 30 days following the embolization. Hemorrhage recurred in two patients within one year after hospital discharge. TAE procedures were performed once more using microcoils, and the bleeding was controlled. Conclusion: For the patients with refractory and repeated gastrointestinal hemorrhage due to angiodysplasia, TAE seems to be an effective alternative option when endoscopic examination and treatment do not work.

Age, growth, and condition of the Mud River crayfish Orconectes ronaldi Taylor 2000 (Decapoda: Cambaridae)
Authors: Noss Hannah , Anderson Wendy , Simon Thomas P.
Published: May 2020

The Mud River crayfish, Orconectes ronaldi Taylor, is a native crayfish species found in the Midwestern United States in Kentucky and Indiana. Length-weight relationship, body morphometric relationship, and condition within the species native range in south-central Indiana were studied. Growth, size relationships based on gender, sexual phase for adults and juveniles and chelae-length/width relationships were used to interpret patterns in sexual dimorphism. Carapace length (CL)–wet weight (Wwt) relationships for all genders (i.e., male, female, juvenile) and all male forms (form I and II) had positive allometric growth. Male individuals were not significantly heavier than females of the same length. The maximum length and weights of males (35.1 mm CL) were longer and heavier (11.8 g) than the longest female (31.5 mm) weighing 8.3 g. No statistical difference in mean weight was observed; however, this is attributed to the accelerated development of the chelae in sexually mature form I males, whereas chelae of females grow slower throughout life. Chelae length was significantly different between male form II and male form I, and male form II and females (P = 0.004, and P <0.001, respectively). The relatively longer chelae of form I and form II males are due to sexually dimorphic change.

Authors: Roberson Ethan K. , Skelton Christopher E. , Babb Christopher M.
Published: May 2020

The Oconee burrowing crayfish, Cambarus truncatus, is endemic to the Oconee River watershed in central Georgia. Very little is known about this primary burrower’s life history or distribution. To gather life history data, a non-invasive study was conducted using Norrocky burrowing crayfish traps and burrowing crayfish nets at Balls Ferry State Park in Toomsboro, Georgia. Crayfish were captured, measured, tagged, and released to determine growth rate, reproductive stage, and association with physiochemical factors. Thirty-six specimens were captured during the study of which twenty-five were tagged and released. Ten of the individuals were recaptured multiple times. Form I males were found in the months of February, March, May, October, and November. Female glair gland activity was present from February – May, when four in-berry females were captured; females held an average of 28 eggs. Glair gland activity peaked again during the months of October and November. Cambarus truncatus exhibited a growth rate of about 1 mm in total carapace length per molt until plateauing at about 34 mm total carapace length. The largest specimen collected was a female measuring 34.6 mm in total carapace length. The known distribution of C. truncatus was increased from 15 to 26 localities during this study, and now encompasses six counties within the Oconee River watershed.
Metabolic physiology of the southeastern USA crayfish,Cambarus latimanus(LeConte), in response to different temperatures
Authors: Meade Mark , White Lindsay , Zettili Rahim , Meade Megan , Almani Saad , Qureshi Abdurehman
Published: May 2020

Variable crayfish, Cambarus latimanus (LeConte), were collected and acclimated to four temperatures, 15, 20, 25, and 30°C. Following a two-week acclimation period, mean standard metabolic rates (SMR), as determined using oxygen consumption rates, were measured using an intermittent-flow, closed-loop respirometer. For ~10g mean weight C. latimanus, mean weight specific oxygen consumption rates (MO2) at 15, 20, 25, and 30°C were 73.4 ± 0.18, 81.6 ± 0.10, 103 ± 0.11, and 205 ± 0.12 mg O2·kg-1·h-1 (±SE), respectively. Calculated Q10 values of 1.25, 1.61, and 3.92 for the change in metabolic rate from 15 – 20°C, 20 – 25°C, and 25 – 30°C suggest the crayfish were responding normally to temperature increases and were metabolically stressed when temperatures increased above 25°C. Daily caloric energy budgets of 58 (15°C), 65 (20°C), 82 (25°C), and 164 (30°C) calories·day-1 were estimated for crayfishes using SMR data and suggested that crayfish standard (resting) energy requirements nearly tripled when acclimated to 15 versus 30°C. Overall, these data suggest that increased temperatures have substantial effects on C. latimanus energy demands which may reduce potential growth and reproduction.

Cambarus parrishi is a rare, stream-dwelling crayfish endemic to the upper Hiwassee River watershed in northeastern Georgia and western North Carolina. A two year survey of C. parrishi at 22 sites across 4 streams was conducted to identify microhabitat associations and population characteristics, and represents the most comprehensive study of this species within Georgia. Field sampling expanded the range of C. parrishi to four separate streams in Georgia and resulted in the capture of 141 individuals. Generalized linear modeling of C. parrishi density demonstrated strong associations near stream banks with rough substrates composed of abundant cobbles and small boulders. Cambarus parrishi were reproductively active from September through October and reached sexual maturity earlier than indicated by historical data. Five possible age classes were defined with an unbalanced 1.7:1 (females:males) sex ratio. Cambarus parrishi exists mostly on federally-managed lands at high elevations. However, development activities that introduce fine substrates and eliminate heterogeneous habitats preferred by most stream-dwelling crayfishes could threaten this species. Although this study increased knowledge of the range of C. parrishi, additional data on population, habitat use, life history, and occurrences in other tributaries within the watershed are still needed.

Na era da imagem, a imagem perde seu poder: Fred Ritchin e os potenciais inexplorados da Fotografia
Authors: Brandão Cláudio de São Plácido , Vandresen Monique
Published: May 2020

Este artigo nasceu de uma visita ao International Center of Photography (ICP) em Nova Iorque, onde os autores tiveram a oportunidade de conversar com Fred Ritchin, pró-reitor emérito do ICP, e discutir o texto seminal que completa três décadas em 2020 e os potenciais inexplorados da Fotografia. O fato de que hoje sejamos inundados diariamente com imagens e que, ao mesmo tempo, nossa capacidade de processar ou entender qualquer sentido seja reduzida e não aprimorada por essa abundância é um paradoxo. Há trinta anos, era lançado “In Our Own Image”, de Ritchin. O livro descreveu de forma impressionante muitas das maneiras pelas quais a era digital transformaria a sociedade. Quando a segunda edição do livro foi publicada, em 1999, muitas das previsões de Ritchin, como o embelezamento de imagens pelo computador e o enfraquecimento do papel da fotografia como testemunha confiável, já eram uma realidade.

O artigo aborda a interação entre pesquisa e ensino na disciplina Oficina de Pintura II, oferecida nos cursos de Artes Visuais/UFMS, em 2017. A autora principal ministrou a disciplina e coordenou o projeto de pesquisa Processos Criativos na Pintura Contemporânea – Teoria e Prática, na mesma instituição. Apresenta-se primeiramente o projeto, que tem como objetivo fazer um levantamento das possibilidades da pintura contemporânea enfocando o processo criativo de pintores em evidência no circuito de arte nacional. Em seguida, a ementa, o programa e os objetivos da disciplina são colocados em pauta. Por fim, é feita uma análise sobre como as investigações realizadas dentro da pesquisa foram aplicadas no plano de ensino e nas aulas, tomando como exemplo um recorte da abordagem feita sobre o papel dos arquivos no processo criativo de pinturas, com base na diferenciação entre arquivos proposta por Cecília Salles e na apresentação de um registro de processo do artista Eduardo Berliner.
Estúdios de pintura e os usos da fotografia pela estética e pela didática em pintura
Authors: Cavallari Pedro Henrique Villi
Published: May 2020

Para além da verbalização usar a fotografia está um modo de formar que repousa entre as finalidades estética e prática desta linguagem. Como parte integrante de pesquisa em arte realizada na linha de Ensino de Artes Visuais no Mestrado em Artes Visuais realizada pelo autor, a fotografia não é apenas um registro visual, o que torna sua memória minimamente permanente. É fluida pois é parte dos processos pictóricos e didáticos que envolvem a pesquisa, na medida em que compõe o campo fenomenal da experiência estética no interior do estúdio de pintura, lugar comum das dimensões fomadoras deste trabalho.
How is Happiness Measured?
Authors: Plepytė-Davidavičienė Giedrė
Published: May 2020

The article deals with the methodology of happiness measurement. Data from the European Social Survey, the European Value Survey and the World Happiness Index, that allow measuring the happiness level of the population and providing an opportunity to evaluate the situation of Lithuania in the context of other countries, are analysed. The discussion of research methodology highlights the main methodological differences applied in the above research. The comparative analysis shows that in Lithuania the happiness level remains the lowest among other European countries, although life satisfaction is growing. The conclusion is drawn that a low level of happiness can be determined not only by the economic level of the country or individual psychological conditions, but also by the cultural-social context of the country.
The Collective Memory of Soviet Past from the Sociology of Art’s Point of View: Cases of Giedrė Beinoriūtė and Jūratė Kluonė
Authors: Tuzaitė Eglė
Published: May 2020

The article focuses on the analysis of interpretations of the collective memory of Soviet past provided in the works of film director Giedrė Beinoriūtė and painter Jūratė Kluonė. The analysis is carried out by following the ideas of symbolic interactionism theory representative Howard Becker and is based on the results of semi-structural interviews. The article aims at connecting two usually separate fields of collective memory research in Lithuania – those of art criticism, history and sociology. Following one of the main ideas of symbolic interactionism, i.e. the meaning is created through the relationships, H. Becker describes art as ‘collective action’. In the article this idea is developed by showing that both artists explain choosing their families’ traumatic Soviet experiences as an object for their artistic creation because of their wish to give a meaning to those experiences. It is emphasized that the giving of meaning is possible only if the family’s history is shared with the society which recognizes and values the symbols of deportation and Siberia. In other words, the feeling of meaning appears when the family’s collective memory becomes a part of nation’s collective memory. Furthermore, within the framework of selected theory, it is emphasized that the presentation of the particular creation to society is a prerequisite for this creation to gain a status of a real work of art. However, nowadays it is said that the questions related to collective memory transcend the borders of national states. Therefore, it is claimed that the analysis of Lithuanian artists’ works reveals the need of similar research at the international level.
Family Life Course Trajectories: Results of the Sequence Analysis
Authors: Dirsytė Irma , Maslauskaitė Aušra
Published: May 2020

This paper aims to analyse the family life course trajectories of 1970–1984 birth cohorts in Lihuania. It applies the sequence analysis methods and is based on the Families and Inequalities Survey Dataset collected in 2019. The method provides the opportunities to examine the family life course in a holistic way and has not been used in family demography research in Lithuania so far. The results prove that cohabitation became a normative event in the family formation process, the duration of cohabitation increases, however marriage remains the dominant family arrangement for childrearing. Clasterization of sequences revealed four models of family life trajectories, that reflect the diversity and de-standartization of the family life course.

Studies show that practice in some professional fields may be socially and morally unattractive: employees working with stigmatized groups have to use methods, related to aggression and confrontation, which leads to stress and reduces their professional well-being. This applies to child rights and protection institutions which have a responsibility to take a child out of the family in the case of a threat to their safety. Problems related to workplace quality lead to a lack of qualified employees in this sector, and this problem is emphasized not only in Lithuania. Institutional aggression is typical of institutions to which the state attributes certain functions of abuse (e.g. public safety). Employee’s intervention into the family can also be regarded as aggression performed by institutions, and the nature of work in these institutions may be associated with the problem of workplace aggression. However, in the research on workplace quality among the indicators of workplace aggression we do not find the indicator of employees’ aggression against clients. We presume that an employee’s function to take a child from a family (the use of coercion) can affect their well-being. So, in the context of workplace quality, the concept of workplace aggression has to be re-conceptualized by including institutional aggression enforced by an employee.

Age-associated sterile inflammation can cause dysregulated choroidal neovascularization (CNV) as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Intraocular fluid screening of 234 AMD patients identified high levels of IL-4. The purpose of this study was to determine the functional role of IL-4 in CNV formation using murine CNV model. Our results indicate that the IL-4/IL-4 receptors (IL4Rs) controlled tube formation and global proangiogenic responses of bone marrow cells. CCR2+ bone marrow cells were recruited to form very early CNV lesions. IL-4 rapidly induces CCL2, which enhances recruitment of CCR2+ bone marrow cells. This in vivo communication, like quorum-sensing, was followed by the induction of IL-4 by the bone marrow cells during the formation of mature CNVs. For CNV development, IL-4 in bone marrow cells are critically required, and IL-4 directly promotes CNV formation mainly by IL-4R. The IL-4/IL-4Rα axis contributes to pathological angiogenesis through communications with bone marrow cells leading to retinal degeneration.
