The Sasak People of Lombok: Indigenous Communities at The Crossroads of Globalization
Authors: Salehudin Ahmad
Published: July 2020

This article focuses on changes that have taken place among Lombok’s indigenous communities, including Sasak Bayan, Sasak Sade, and Sasak Ende. This study found that in the context of thick globalization where information technology is the driving force, the indigenous communities are no longer as the objects of the global cultural market. Instead, they are given the freedom to choose and sort out values that they consider good and appropriate with their needs. In addition, they also exercise the freedom of expression. However, the problem lies in the fact that their choices and ways of expressions are quite often violating old loyalties they have agreed. The communities of Sasak Bayan, Sasak Sade and Sasak Ende provide important information on how indigenous communities respond creatively to globalization based on their needs.
Contestation between Puritan Islam and Kejawen in the Urban Yogyakarta of Indonesia
Authors: Arifin Muhammad , Abdullah Irwan , Ratnawati Atik Tri
Published: July 2020

Tensions between Puritan Islam and Kejawen Islam have never been resolved, despite various accommodation efforts. The ongoing contestation of the two traditions in Islam in Yogyakarta is because both always maintain strict cultural boundaries through symbols that represent their respective identities, be it in religious, art, cultural, economic and political practices. This study focuses on three aspects: (1) the form of representation of the contestation between Islam and Tradition (Kejawen) in the city of Yogyakarta; (2) the historical and cultural context which is the basis for the contestation between Islam and tradition; and (3) how the contestation between Islam and the Kejawen tradition is managed by each community in an effort to minimize the occurrence of social conflict between the two. Through these three aspects, this research aims to offer a new perspective in viewing the dialectical relations between Puritan Islam and Javanese (Kejawen) tradition contextually. The contestation between the Islamic tradition and the Kejawen tradition continued because of historical, political and global currents that provided space for both traditions to build their respective cultural identities.
Social Capital and Civic Engagement in Times Of Tension: An Evidence from Interethnic Relation Developed in Stella Maris Credit Union Pontianak, West Kalimantan
Authors: Alanuari Alanuari , Ahnaf Mohammad Iqbal
Published: July 2020

This paper begins by questioning the sustainability of civic engagement with the notion of ‘social capital’ as the key concept of Peace and Conflict Studies. The main question is: to what extent does socio-political tension affect forms of civic engagement? This paper examines interethnic relations (Dayak, Malay, Chinese, and Javanese) developed in the Stella Maris Credit Union (SMCU) in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia under the context of ethnic tension. SMCU is a microfinance association where people with various backgrounds (religion, race, and ethnicity) interact in an economic community, sharing benefits and values. In the beginning, SMCU was initiated as an economic program of Stella Maris Catholic Church in North Pontianak. This church did not only serve the church members, but also for all ethnicities and religions through Pontianak. As a site drastically impacted by ethnic conflict in the post-Suharto era, Pontianak recently has been growing as a city of ethnic diversity. However, the recent rise of ethnic tension has contested this growing multiethnic coexistence. It is important to see the strength of civic engagement in responding to issues of conflict in a multiethnic society. This study explores SMCU members and their personal experiences, wondering whether the tension may or may not affect the forms of civic engagement. It argues civic engagement can sustain under the moment of socio-political tension. Developing economy and peace education are the main reasons for interethnic relations among SMCU members. Moreover, although there are treats for the plural society, experiencing diversity in the form of associational and neighborhood relations contributes to social coexistence. This study finds that forms of civic engagement among the members shape expressions and attitudes of resilience in facing social tension.
Music in The Liturgy of The Catholic Community in Jakarta, Indonesia
Authors: Sihombing Adison Adrianus
Published: July 2020

This article discusses music in the Catholic liturgy in Jakarta, Indonesia in the postmodern era within the context of the autonomy of the Catholic Church. The Indonesian Catholic Church is an independent and autonomous church where liturgical music is a form of original artistic expression. However, in practice, the majority of Catholics in Indonesia view the liturgical celebration as uninteresting and dull. Conversely, pop music has increasingly influenced liturgical music. This reality is discussed and analyzed specifically in regards to liturgical music that experiences contextual data inference, especially in the specific cultural contexts of the community. The data analysis shows, in perception of Catholics in Jakarta, the role of liturgical music in worship is not homogeneous, but rather depends on the educational background, attention from Pastors of the Parish, cultural factors, and individual past experiences. For the most part, the level of understanding regarding the nature and important position of liturgical music in religious holy celebrations is low. Most consider that all music is the same and can therefore be used in the liturgy. Music is considered only a complement to enhance religious celebrations. In this context, the government and the Indonesian Catholic Church established the Catholic Church Choir Development Institute (LP3K) as a forum for fostering Catholics in Indonesia in the liturgical field and discussing issues related to music. This article confirms that the position of the liturgical music is crucial and has an irreplaceable significance in the liturgy, and the two are inextricably woven to each other.

Authors: Tohari Tohari , Sairin Sjafri , Azhar Muhammad , Yamin Muhammad Nurul
Published: July 2020

The liberalization policy through Law No. 7 of 2004 concerning Natural Resources and Law No. 22 of 2001 concerning Oil and Gas, elicited a strong reaction from the Muhammadiyah movement. In response to the laws, Muhammadiyah used their role as both a civil society movement and Islamic movement and took the step of constitutional jihad. This article looks at the steps and attitudes of Muhammadiyah's criticism towards government policies under the administration of President Susilo Bambang Yudoyono (SBY). The findings showed the constitutional jihad was based on the spirit of the Muhammadiyah indictment and the spirit of progressive Islam Muhammdiyah. It was within this spirit that the Muhammadiyah movement was encouraged to be critical of SBY's policies. This study also explores Muhammadiyah's critical attitude which has had an internal and external impacts on the movement as a whole and Muhammadiyah leaders. Muhammadiyah's critical attitude is a form of action and rational choice. The rational choice being made by Muhammadiyah through observation of the impacts of the application of the two laws. Muhammadiyah and its leaders indicate the rational choice of Muhammadiyah actors based on Muhammadiyah's spirit orientation, and the social conditions of the Indonesians in response to the application of both of these laws.
Why Indonesia Prefers A Mono-Religious Education Model? A Durkhemian Perspective
Authors: Yusuf Mohamad
Published: July 2020

This work aims to investigate the preference of the Indonesian for a specific type of religious education model, and to provide a theoretical understanding of this preference. In particular, this study aims to answer two research questions: How do Indonesian practice mono-religious education model? How should this practice be understood from Durkheim’s concept of mechanical solidarity? Three models of ethnographical study were conducted to answer the research questions: Analysing the state’s law on education, particularly with regard to religious education, in-depth interviews with school’ managers (Kepala Sekolah) and religious education teachers as well as the students. This study found that Indonesia prefers a mono-religious education model, as shown in the State's laws on education and the practice of religious education in schools. Unlike previous studies that mainly describe the practice of certain model of religious education, this study offers conceptual understanding of the practice of religious education by Durkheim's notions of mechanical solidarity. The mono-religious model is a social fact because it consists of the norms and values that are practised by and commonly found in all members of society. Comparative studies on the practice of religious education in Muslim countries might be needed as this mono-religious education model is a common practice by Muslim societies.
Hamka, Social Criticism and The Practices of Polygamy in Minangkabau
Authors: Herlambang Saifuddin
Published: July 2020

The character and style of a text describes and reflects the cultural structure and nature of the author’s mind. This work attempts to describe social criticism and the interpretation of Hamka—the eminent Indonesian exegete—in the Al-Azhar (a fairly recent encyclopedic Quran commentary) of the verses which are legitimized as the verses of polygamy. This study finds that Hamka’s interpretation of “polygamy verses” is influenced by the social dynamics of his birthplace, Minangkabau. Hamka criticized religious and adat leaders for the polygamy tradition in Minangkabau. Paradigmatically, Hamka contributed a unique tradition in the dynamics of the interpretation of the Quran in Indonesia where interpretation becomes a social critic. This study reaffirmed the statements that the contestation in interpreting texts is a reflection of social and political contestation and not merely theoretical contestation and that each product of text interpretation expresses empirically the socio-political conditions of the interpreters. This work offered the idea that the interpretation of the Quran with a social approach is to voice criticism of the application of the text to be an alternative to continue in contextualizing the Quranic messages.

Background

Several ECG voltage criteria have been proposed for the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Notably, ECG criteria have been historically validated in concentric LVH but not in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), wherein the hypertrophy pattern is typically asymmetric.

Objectives

The aim of our study was to evaluate the performance of ECG voltage criteria for LVH diagnosis in the HCM population.

Material and methods

The electrocardiograms of 92 HCM patients and 41 sex- and age-matched controls were evaluated with the most frequently used ECG voltage criteria for LVH diagnosis. Cardiac magnetic resonance (MRI) was performed in HCM and controls in order to quantify LVH and its distribution.

Results

In the HCM population, the maximal diagnostic accuracy was achieved by Amplitude total and Amplitude total product criteria (58% for both), while the Cornell Voltage best performed in septal HCM (62%), the Sokolov in aVL and Gubner criteria in apical HCM (79% for both) and the Cornell Voltage and Product in anterior HCM (86% for both). All the ECG voltage criteria showed a poor correlation with left ventricular mass and maximal thickness measured by cardiac MRI.

Conclusions

In our study, only a few ECG voltage criteria used for the detection of LVH in clinical practice showed an acceptable performance in the HCM population. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of ECG for LVH detection in HCM patients.

Aims

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is an effective treatment to reduce mortality in patients with symptomatic heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 35% or less. LVEF presents a low sensitivity for predicting arrhythmic events. Aim of this study was to identify predictors of sustained ventricular arrhythmias (SVAs), overall and according to the cause of heart failure.

Methods

Single-center, retrospective, cohort study of 193 patients (51 nonischemic and 142 ischemic) with chronic heart failure and LVEF less than 35% who had received ICD for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death. We collected clinical data, echocardiographic parameters and SVAs detected by the ICD.

Results

During a median follow-up of 1440 days, 32 (16.2%) patients had SVAs. SVAs incidence was similar in patients with nonischemic (15.6%) and ischemic cause of heart failure (16.9%). Hypertension, diabetes, chronic renal failure, atrial fibrillation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, New York Heart Association class at least III were predictors at univariate analysis of SVAs. A clinical score, assigning one point to each of these variables, was associated with a significantly increased risk of SVAs [odds ratio for each point increase = 1.92, 95% confidence interval 1.40–2.65, P < 0.0001, area under the curve (AUC) 0.73], with 72% sensitivity and 60% specificity for a cutoff at least three and remained significant in nonischemic (AUC 0.84) and ischemic (AUC 0.68) patients.

Conclusion

Our study shows the benefit of ICD implantation in primary prevention and its independency of cause. A simple clinical score, based on comorbidities, identifies patients with more benefits from ICD implantation.
IN-PLANTA TRANSFORMATION METHOD MEDIATED WITH Agrobacterium tumefaciens FOR T-DNA TRANSFER IN TABLE GRAPE (Vitis vinifera L.)
Authors: Dwiyani Rindang , Yuswanti Hestin , Fitriani Yuyun , Sugiharto Bambang
Published: July 2020

The aim of the research is to investigate a simple method of in planta transformation method for T-DNA transfer in table grape.  The T-DNA harbored the S0SPS1 gene under the control of promoter of the 35S CaMV from the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus and contained the NPTII gene, a kanamycin-resistant gene as a selectable marker for transformant selection.  Six-month plants originated from cuttings were used as target plants.  We explored two methods of in planta transformation, namely ”dipping” and “sweeping”.  For both methods, the leaves of the target plants were removed and those of shoots without leaves were used as the target of  transformation.  In the “dipping method”, those shoots were dipped with the agrobacterial suspension for 60 seconds.  However, for the “sweeping method”, the scars (the spots where leaves were removed) were swept with agrobacterial suspension using a cotton bud.  Those treated non-leafy-shoots (from both methods) then were grown to be leafy shoots.  Those leafy shoots then were cut and transplanted into the soil and grown to be a whole plant. The leaves of those plants then were taken as samples for DNA extraction and PCR using primers of NPTII gene (Forward: 5’-GTCATCTCACCTTCCTCCTGCC-3’; Reverse: 5’ GTCGCTTGGTCGGTCATTTCG-3’) with expected amplified band of 550 bp. We found that only the “sweeping method” plants amplified the 550 bp bands, while those of the “dipping method”  did not.  We suggest that the T-DNA was successfully integrated into the genome of plants treated with the “sweeping method” but not with the “dipping method”.  Leaf sugar content (oBrix) of PCR-positive vines was higher than those of the wild-type vines, ensuring the integration of the T-DNA into the plant genome.

Diagenesis Processes Impact on Reservoir Quality in Carbonate Yamama Formation /Faihaa Oil Field
Authors: Ahmed Mohammed A. , Nasser Madhat E. , Jawad Sameer N. AL
Published: July 2020

The Yamama Formation is a significant reservoir in the southern part of Iraq. This formation consists of limestone deposited throughout the Lower Cretaceous period within main retrogressive depositional series. This study aims to identify the impact of the diagenesis processes on the reservoirâ€™s characteristics (porosity and permeability). Diagenesis processesâ€™ analysis and the identification of Yamama Formation depended on the examination of more than 250 thin sections of the core samples from two wells that were used to determine different diagenetic environments and processes. The three identified diagenetic environments that affected Yamama reservoir were the marine, meteoric and burial environments. Eight diagenetic processes were recognized in Yamama Formation and showed positive and destructive effects on the reservoir quality; Dissolution and fracture had highly positive effects through creating and improving porosity and permeability that led to improving reservoir quality. Cementation and compaction had destructive effects, through reducing porosity and permeability, that led to reducing reservoir quality. Other processes such micritization, dolomitization, bioturbation and neomorphism did not have strong effects on reservoir quality. Based on genetic classification of porosity, most of porosity within Yamama Formation in this field was formed by diagenesis processes, implying that Yamama reservoir is a type of diagenetic reservoir.
New Updated Classification of Shallow Earthquakes Based on Faulting Style
Authors: Al-Heety Emad Abulrahman Mohammed Salih
Published: July 2020

Earthquakes occur on faults and create new faults. They also occur on  normal, reverse and strike-slip faults. The aim of this work is to suggest a new unified classification of Shallow depth earthquakes based on the faulting styles, and to characterize each class. The characterization criteria include the maximum magnitude, focal depth, b-constant value, return period and relations between magnitude, focal depth and dip of fault plane. Global Centroid Moment Tensor (GCMT) catalog is the source of the used data. This catalog covers the period from Jan.1976 to Dec. 2017. We selected only the shallow (depth less than 70kms) pure, normal, strike-slip and reverse earthquakes (magnitude â‰¥ 5) and excluded the oblique earthquakes. The majority of normal and strike-slip earthquakes occurred in the upper crust, while the reverse earthquakes occurred throughout the thickness of the crust. The main trend for the derived b-values for the three classes was: b normal fault>bstrike-slip fault>breverse fault.  The mean return period for the normal earthquake was longer than that of the strike-slip earthquakes, while the reverse earthquakes had the shortest period. The obtained results report the relationship between the magnitude and focal depth of the normal earthquakes. A negative significant correlation between the magnitude and dip class for the normal and reverse earthquakes is reported. Negative and positive correlation relations between the focal depth and dip class were recorded for normal and reverse earthquakes, respectively. The suggested classification of earthquakes provides significant information to understand seismicity, seismtectonics, and seismic hazard analysis.

Localization of the Optic Disc in Retinal Fundus Image using Appearance Based Method andVasculature Convergence
Authors: Athab Suha Dh. , Selman Nassir H.
Published: July 2020

Optic Disc (OD) localization is a basic step for the screening, identification and appreciation of the risk of diverse ophthalmic pathologies such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.In fact, the fundamental step towards an exact OD segmentation process is the success of OD localization. This paper proposes a fully automatic procedure for OD localization based on two of the OD most relevant features  of high-intensity value and vasculature convergence. Merging ofthese two features renders the proposed method capable of localizing the OD within the variously complicated environments such as the faint disc boundary, unbalanced shading, and the existence of retinal pathologies like cotton wall and exudates,which usually share the same color and structure with the OD. To demonstrate the robustness, reliability and broad applicability of the proposed approach,we tested 1614 images from publically available datasets, including Messidor (1200 images), TheStandard Diabetic,Retinopathy Database (DIARETDB0 ,130 images), Digital Retinal,Images for Optic Nerve,Segmentation (DRIONS ,110 images), TheStandard Diabetic,Retinopathy Database (DIARETDB1,89 images),High,Resolution Fundus (HRF,45 images),and Digital,Retinal Image for Vessels,Extraction (DRIVE,40 images). The method successfully localized 1599 images and failed in 15 images, with an average success rate of 99.07% and an average computation time of 0.5 second per image.
Deep Belief Network for Predicting the Predisposition to Lung Cancer in TP53 Gene
Authors: Shahweli Zahraa Naser
Published: July 2020

Lung cancer, similar to other cancer types, results from genetic changes. However, it is considered as more threatening due to the spread of the smoking habit, a major risk factor of the disease. Scientists have been collecting and analyzing the biological data for a long time, in attempts to find methods to predict cancer before it occurs. Analysis of these data requires the use of artificial intelligence algorithms and neural network approaches. In this paper, one of the deep neural networks was used, that is the enhancer Deep Belief Network (DBN), which is constructed from two Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBM). The visible nodes for the first RBM are 13 nodes and 8 nodes in each hidden layer for the two RBMs. The enhancer DBN was trained by Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN), where the data sets were divided into 6 folds, each is split into three partitions representing the training, validation, and testing. It is worthy to note that the proposed enhancer DBN predicted lung cancer in an acceptable manner, with an average F-measure value of  0. 96 and an average Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) value of 0. 47 for 6 folds.
A Proposed Approach to Determine the Edges in SAR images
Authors: Abbas Rabab Farhan
Published: July 2020

Radar is the most eminent device in the prolonged scattering era The mechanisms involve using electromagnetic waves to take Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images for long reaching. The process of setting edges is one of the important processes used in many fields, including radar images, which assists in showing objects such as mobile vehicles, ships, aircraft, and meteorological and terrain forms. In order to accurately identify these objects, their edges must be detected. Many old-style methods are used to isolate the edges but they do not give good results in the  determination process. Conservative methods use an operator to detect the edges, such as the Sobel operator which is used to perform edge detection where the edge does not appear well.

     The proposed method which combines Ridgelet transform, Bezier curve and Sobel operator is used to detect edges very efficiently. Ridghelet transform resolves the harms in the wavelet transform and it can well detect the edges in images. Bezier curve can profit gradual variation of the data and their mutability. Hence, the efficiency of the edged image is improved and, when used with Sobel operator, the quality of the edge image become very good. The data show that the advocated method has superior fallouts over the Sobel edge detection and the wavelet method in both subjective and impartial experiments. While the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR) values were equal to 9.3812, 9.8918, 9.6521 and 9.0743using the Sobel operator method and to10.2564, 10.7927, 10.5612and 10.8633 using the wavelet method, they were increased in the proposed method to 12.6542, 12.9514, 12.8574 and 12.3013 respectively.

Published: July 2020

This work presents an approach to deal with modelling a decision support system framework to introduce an application for decisions in medical knowledge system analysis. First aid is extremely important worldwide and, hence, a decision support framework, know as First Aid Decision Support System (FADSS), was designed and implemented to access experimental cases exerting danger to the general population, offering advanced conditions for testing abilities in research and arranging an emergency treatment through the graphical user interface (UI). The design of first aid treatment in FADSS depends on the general cases in first aid. We presented a strategy to manage first aid treatment  by modelling an application (FADSS) that assists people in finding information about first aid cases that are available as an application service. FADSS service uses a set of 15 important situations that might happen to people. The decision for treatment is suggested on the system for a different accident. FADSS tests the information in real-time by using mathematical models, decision tree and data mining (C4.5 algorithm) that are used in this research to build a decision making system. The system automatically sends warnings when the case is very critical, using text messages as email reports. The main objective of this study is to provide an efficient tool that helps people and junior workers in first aid centres in order to find the available resources of information.
A Framework of APT Detection Based on Packets Analysis and Host Destination
Authors: Alminshid Khalid Abdulrazzaq Abdulnabi , Omar Mohd Nizam
Published: July 2020

So far, APT (Advanced Persistent Threats) is a constant concern for information security. Despite that, many approaches have been used in order to detect APT attacks, such as change controlling, sandboxing and network traffic analysis. However, success of 100% couldnâ€™t be achieved. Current studies have illustrated that APTs adopt many complex techniques to evade all detection types. This paper describes and analyzes APT problems by analyzing the most common techniques, tools and pathways used by attackers. In addition, it highlights the weaknesses and strengths of the existing security solutions that have been used since the threat was identified in 2006 until 2019. Furthermore, this research proposes a new framework that can be used to repel this threat based on APT activity with network traffic through packets analysis and host destination.
Effects of Laser at 810 Nm on Wound Healing in Albino Mice
Authors: Funjan Mawada M.
Published: July 2020

Many researches focused on laser therapy of wound healing in different animal models due to the lack of a standard protocol in the application of such phototherapy. Objective:  To study the effects of 810nm laser at a constant irradiance of 41.63 mw/cm2 and exposure (illumination) time of 5,15  minutes on wounds created on Albino mice (BALB/c).

     Skin wound with elliptic shape and full thickness was created on the dorsal side of  â€˜45 mature male albino mice. Irradiated animals were divided into two main groups based on irradiation time, the first was irradiated for 5 min and the second for 15 min, each was subdivided into three subgroups (n=5) according to number of treatment days (3, 5 and 10 days).   Both treated and respective control (n=15) subgroups were sacrificed on days 3, 5 and 10 posttreatment.  Laser therapy was applied using a 810 nm diode laser with a continuous wave, an output power of 400 mw, and irradiance of 41.63. The 5 min dose was 12 .5 J/cm2, whereas the 15 min dose was 37.4 J/cm2. The shape of the laser beam was fitted with a convex lens as â€˜beam expanderâ€™ to irradiate a circular area of 3.4 cm diameter. Laser therapy was started after surgery and repeated for 3, 5 and 10 days, while its effects were examined by histological evaluation. Results:  At day 3 of treatment with near infrared 810nm laser at doses of 12.5J/cmÂ² and 37.4J/cmÂ², there was no evidence of wounds healing in irradiated groups which showed no differences with the respective control groups. At day 5 of treatment, the results showed an important increase in the scores of the parameters of wound healing (formation of granulation tissue and collagen deposition) in the irradiated groups. Near infrared 810nm laser had photobiostimulation effects on wound healing at irradiance of 41.63mW/cmÂ² and doses of 12.5J/cmÂ² for 5 minutes and 37.4J/cmÂ² for 15 minutes exposure time. A complete picture of wound healing response appeared in all irradiated groups within 10 days of treatment, as expressed by complete â€˜re-epithelializationâ€™, moderate granulation tissue formation, and presence of collagen fibers, while incomplete wound healing response was observed in un-irradiated control groups within the same period. The study showed that 810 nm laser therapies had significant effects on wound healing, especially at a dose of 37.4J/cmÂ².

Authors: Razooki Sarab Mohammed M. , Rabee Adel M.
Published: July 2020

The acute and sub chronic toxicity effects of 25.16 nm intraperitoneally- injected zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were evaluated. Albino male mice were exposed to three different doses (25, 50 ,and 100 mg/kg ), depending on the value of calculated LD50, for 2 and 4 weeks . Considerable changes in organ indexes were shown with a good relevance to the illustrated histopathological effects which ranged from multiple hemorrhagic foci in liver, mild swelling and dilatation in kidney tubules, thickening of intestinal villi, moderate interstitial pneumonia, especially with the high dose , and sever necrosis of seminiferous tubules in testes of all studied groups. Significant changes in both hematological and biochemical parameters as well as thyroid hormones were observed with a considerable increase in the levels of antioxidant enzymes, in dose and exposure time dependent manner. The highest accumulated Zn mean values were recorded in the small intestine, kidney, liver, and spleen, respectively, followed by testes , heart , lung , and brain. These values followed the same order of the dose dependent manner, which explains the adverse effects that were recorded. This study proved the ability of using organ indexes as good tools side by side with the biochemical indicators to explain the histopathological changes. This study also revealed some histopathological effects that were not previously recorded as a toxicological effect of ZnO NPs in animal models.

Current state of the red king crab population at West Kamchatka is considered on the data of bottom trawl surveys and fishery statistics since 2013. Some biological parameters of the crabs and assessments of the commercial stock are presented; recent condition of the red king crab fishery and evaluation of the total allowable catch are discussed. The red king crab fishery was resumed in 2013, after 8 years of ban caused by the population decrease. During the ban, the stock restored and exceeded the value observed before the ban: the total accounted abundance of red king crab in 2017 was about 244 . 106 ind. that was the highest level for the last two decades, with the number of commercial males estimated as 110 . 106 ind. — this amount was never observed before on the shelf of western Kamchatka, at least in four decades of surveys. Recently the northern forbidden district and Khayryuzovsky district of the shelf zone lost their role of the main areas of crabs reproduction and their juveniles feeding, in favour to the Ichinsky district located southward. Recent fishery of red king crab is fruitful and sustainable. In the last 3 years, the major part of annual catch is transported alive to ports of China and South Korea. For this purpose, the caught crabs are sorted strictly aboard fishing vessels and the largest males are released back to the sea. Possibly, year-to-year increasing of the males size on the West Kamchatka shelf is caused by this sorting and releasing; another effect of the large-sized crabs releasing is relatively low number of recruits in the last couple of years. The fishery elimination coefficient is estimated in the range 5–16 % of the total accounted stock for 2013–2019, that shows a highly precautionary approach. Gradual decreasing of the crab commercial stock is forecasted for the nearest future, though the stock will remain above the target value. Current state of the red king crab population at West Kamchatka is not considered as dangerous, and ongoing intense fishery of this valuable species within the recommended volumes will not affect this sustainable state.
Reproductive biology of amur flathead asp Pseudaspius leptocephalus (Pallas, 1776)
Authors: Semenchenko N. N. , Ostrovskaya E. V.
Published: July 2020

Some characteristics of reproductive biology are considered for amur flathead asp Pseudaspius leptocephalus (Pallas, 1776), as features of its spawning, reproduction capability, annual dynamics of oocyte growth and females gonadosomatic index. This is the species with a single batch spawning. Age of maturity for the asps living in different areas ranges from 3+ to 5+, mostly 5+ with the body length of 31 cm for the key fishing grounds. They spawn in the lower sections of mountain rivers from late May till early June. Females prevail in ratio 2 : 1, on average, both in the spawning and feeding aggregations. The individual absolute fecundity of amur flathead asp females depends linearly on their body length and weight.

State of pacific salmon stocks is considered for the basins of the Avacha and Paratunka Rivers in 1985–2019. Significant decline of the stocks is noted that is associated with anthropogenic impact growth. Total number of producers for five salmon species in the Paratunka is almost twice higher than in the Avacha, with the largest portion of pink salmon, then chum salmon, lower portion of coho salmon, and the smallest portions of sockeye and chinook salmons, which need special protection. The main biological parameters of salmons are analyzed for both rivers, as body length, weight, fecundity, sex ratio and age structure, by species. Relationships between the parameters are revealed; their long-term trends are determined. Abundance of wildly and artificially hatched chum salmon is compared.
Peculiarities of the eutrophication of the Amur Bay (Japan Sea) by Razdolnaya River

Published: July 2020

Data on dissolved organic concentration (DOC) and concentration of nutrients (phosphorus, silicon, and nitrogen of ammonium, nitrite and nitrate) in the Razdolnaya/Suifen River water are presented. The samples were collected fortnightly, as a rule, during more than a year (2013–2014). The nutrients concentration decreased and DOC and humic substances concentration increased with the river run-off increasing. In conditions of monsoon climate, the nutrients discharge from the Razdolnaya/Suifen into the Amur Bay had great pulsations that promoted sometimes producing of «excessive» phytoplankton biomass in the bay and provided a background for hypoxia at the bottom. Natural terrestrial fluxes of nutrients and DOC into the bay are much higher than these substances supply with waste waters of Vladivostok City. Interannual variability of the nutrients and dissolved organics fluxes into the Amur Bay is traced. Tendency to their increasing is supposed since 2003 because of the Razdolnaya/Suifen River annual discharge increasing observed by Hydrometeorological Agency in 2003–2017.
Tratamiento mediático sobre Venezuela en la prensa digital peruana: Análisis de contenido de El Comercio y La República en Twitter.
Authors: Gonzales García Carlos Ricardo
Published: July 2020

Este trabajo estudia los mensajes periodísticos que sobre la situación de Venezuela presentó a la prensa peruana en la red social Twitter en el segundo semestre de 2017. El contenido de dichos medios se analizó sobre la base de la teoría del encuadre. Los resultados indican que El Comercio, medio de encuadre de derechas, a comparación de su par La República, aborda con mayor preocupación encuadres cargados de información visual (fotografías o videos) con énfasis en el interés humano (gente que sufre las consecuencias de la crisis), lo cual generaría rechazo al régimen que impera en dicho país. Por el contrario, La República, inclinado más hacia la izquierda política, tiende a otorgar más importancia a la atribución centrada en la habilidad de un gobierno o grupo para resolver problemas, lo que llevaría a pensar en las oportunidades con que cuenta una gestión como la que administra Nicolás Maduro.
