Authors: Park Eun-Woo , Cho Jang-Hyuk , Cho Chul-Hyun , Sung Duk-Hyun , Kim Du-Hwan
Published: May 2021

This study aimed to assess and compare the ultrasonographic (US) pathologic findings in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and bilateral frozen shoulder (FS). We included 19 patients with clinically diagnosed PMR and 19 patients with stage II bilateral FS. The US evaluation included the assessment of subacromial-subdeltoid (SASD) bursitis, long head of biceps (LHB) tenosynovitis, and posterior and inferior glenohumeral (GH) synovitis. Unilateral SASD bursitis was noted significantly more frequently in PMR patients than in bilateral FS patients (p = 0.001). There were no significant differences in the incidence of unilateral LHB tenosynovitis and posterior GH synovitis between PMR and bilateral FS patients (p = 0.108 and p = 0.304, respectively). Unilateral inferior GH synovitis was more common among bilateral FS patients than among PMR patients (p < 0.001). Bilateral SASD bursitis and LHB tenosynovitis were noted significantly more frequently in PMR patients than in bilateral FS patients (p < 0.001 and 0.049, respectively). Significant differences were not observed in the incidence of bilateral posterior GH synovitis between PMR and bilateral FS patients (p = 0.426). Bilateral inferior GH synovitis was more common among bilateral FS patients than among PMR patients (p = 0.044). The US evidence for bilateral inferior GH synovitis without bilateral SASD showed high specificity (94.7%) with sensitivity (78.9%) for the diagnosis of bilateral FS. SASD bursitis, representing periarticular synovial inflammation, was more common among the patients with PMR than among the patients with bilateral FS. Inferior GH synovitis without SASD bursitis suggests FS rather than PMR in patients with bilateral shoulder pain.
The Heterogeneous Impact of Financialisation on Economic Growth in the Long Run
Authors: Setikiene Agne , Butkus Mindaugas
Published: May 2021

Financialisation, i.e., the process by which financial markets and their participants gain more influence over the functioning of enterprises/companies and the framework of the financial system, changes the functioning of the economic system, both at the macro- and microeconomic level. There is no doubt that financialisation impacts economic growth. Still, research does not substantiate the heterogeneity of financialisation effects and does not provide a comprehensive analysis of the sources of heterogeneity. In most cases, researchers provide only theoretical insights into what may lead to different effects of financialisation on economic growth. This study empirically examines whether institutional quality and economic development intermediate the relationship between financialisation and economic growth using a panel of 96 countries over the period of 1996–2017 and least squares dummy variables (LSDV) estimator. We found that the impact of financialisation on economic growth differs across countries and that institutional quality and economic development are the sources of the heterogeneous impact of financialisation on economic growth.
Research on the Peer Behavior of Local Government Green Governance Based on SECI Expansion Model

Published: May 2021

Exploring the cohort behavior of local governments in green governance from the perspective of knowledge management can help promote the implementation of new development concepts. This article firstly explains the differentiation logic of local governments’ green governance cohort behavior based on the SECI expansion model. Secondly, by constructing a dynamic evolutionary game model, the conditions for the formation of positive and negative cohorts are analyzed. Finally, corresponding countermeasures are proposed. The results show that under the effect of knowledge management, the explicit and tacit knowledge, such as green governance ability and willingness of local government transform into each other, finally differentiates into four kinds of peer behavior states. Willingness stimulation, learning effect perception, complementary knowledge stock, knowledge synergy income, cooperation value-added income, punishment and reputation loss increase, which promotes local government green governance into a positive-peer state. Knowledge learning effect only exists in the early and middle stages of green governance, while the knowledge spillover effect has a more significant impact in the later stage of green governance; a higher gap between explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge, and a lower level of tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge, are conducive to the formation of positive-peer status.

Published: May 2021

Land is a critical factor of production for improving the living conditions of people everywhere. The search for tools (or approaches or strategies or methods) for ensuring that land challenges are resolved in ways that quickly respond to local realities is what led to the development of the fit-for-purpose land administration. This article provides evidence that the fit-for-purpose land administration—as a land-based instrument for development—represents an unprecedented opportunity to provide tenure security in Africa. The article presents case studies from three sub-Saharan African countries on local-level experiences in the applications of fit-for-purpose guidelines as an enabler for engaging in tenure security generating activities in communities. These case studies, drawn from Ghana, Kenya, and Namibia, are based on hands-on local land administration projects that demonstrate how the features of the fit-for-purpose guideline were adopted. Two of the case studies are based on demonstrative projects directly conducted by the researchers (Ghana and Kenya), while the other (Namibia) is based on their engagement in an institutional project in which the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN) and other local partners were involved. This work is relevant because it paves a path for land administration practitioners to identify the core features necessary for land-based projects.

Nonlinear Ultrasonic Guided Wave Method Using Semi-Analytical Finite Element (SAFE) Technique on a Damaged SWO-V Spring Coil
Authors: Kim Jeongnam , Park Junpil , Zhu Bo , Cho Younho
Published: May 2021

This work presents a non-destructive method for quantitative essessment of fatigue damage of materials with linear elastic properties using nonlinear ultrasonic techniques. A nonlinear study was conducted on these materials with fatigue and shot peening processing using a nonlinear ultrasonic technique. A numerical method based on the semi-analytical finite element (SAFE) technique, was used to obtain the phase-matching modes of the specimens. Experiments confirm that the nonlinearity for shot peening and samples with a certain level of fatigue shows a tendency to increase with levels of fatigue.
Stretchable Carbon and Silver Inks for Wearable Applications

Published: May 2021

For wearable electronic devices to be fully integrated into garments, without restricting or impeding movement, requires flexible and stretchable inks and coatings, which must have consistent performance and recover from mechanical strain. Combining Carbon Black (CB) and ammonia plasma functionalized Graphite Nanoplatelets (GNPs) in a Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) resin created a conductive ink that could stretch to substrate failure (>300% nominal strain) and cyclic strains of up to 100% while maintaining an electrical network. This highly stretchable, conductive screen-printable ink was developed using relatively low-cost carbon materials and scalable processes making it a candidate for future wearable developments. The electromechanical performance of the carbon ink for wearable technology is compared to a screen-printable silver as a control. After initial plastic deformation and the alignment of the nano carbons in the matrix, the electrical performance was consistent under cycling to 100% nominal strain. Although the GNP flakes are pulled further apart a consistent, but less conductive path remains through the CB/TPU matrix. In contrast to the nano carbon ink, a more conductive ink made using silver flakes lost conductivity at 166% nominal strain falling short of the substrate failure strain. This was attributed to the failure of direct contact between the silver flakes.

The present study introduces the process performances of nitrophenols pertraction using new liquid supported membranes under the action of a magnetic field. The membrane system is based on the dispersion of silver–iron oxide nanoparticles in n-alcohols supported on hollow microporous polypropylene fibers. The iron oxide–silver nanoparticles are obtained directly through cyclic voltammetry electrolysis run in the presence of soluble silver complexes ([AgCl2]−; [Ag(S2O3)2]3−; [Ag(NH3)2]+) and using pure iron electrodes. The nanostructured particles are characterized morphologically and structurally by scanning electron microscopy (SEM and HFSEM), EDAX, XRD, and thermal analysis (TG, DSC). The performances of the nitrophenols permeation process are investigated in a variable magnetic field. These studies show that the flux and extraction efficiency have the highest values for the membrane system embedding iron oxide–silver nanoparticles obtained electrochemically in the presence of [Ag(NH3)2]+ electrolyte. It is demonstrated that the total flow of nitrophenols through the new membrane system depends on diffusion, convection, and silver-assisted transport.

Published: May 2021

Background: Good social climate and high work engagement are important factors affecting outcomes in healthcare settings. This study observed the effects of a program called Civility, Respect, and Engagement in the Workplace (CREW) on social climate and staff work engagement in a psychiatric ward of a Japanese hospital. Methods: The program comprised 18 sessions installed over six months, with each session lasting 30-min. Participation in the program was recommended to all staff members at the ward, including nurses, medical doctors, and others, but it was not mandatory. A serial cross-sectional study collected data at four time-points. Nurses (n = 17 to 22), medical doctors (n = 9 to 13), and others (n = 6 to 10) participated in each survey. The analysis of variance was used to evaluate the changes in the following dependent variables, the Essen climate evaluation schema (EssenCES), the CREW civility scale, and the Utrecht work engagement scale (UWES) over time. Result: We found no significant effects. The effect size (Cohen’s d) for EssenCES was 0.35 from baseline to post-installation for all staff members. Effect sizes for EssenCES for medical doctors and UWES for nurses were 0.79 and 0.56, respectively, from baseline to post-program. Conclusions: Differences in social climate and work engagement among Japanese healthcare workers between the baseline and post-installation of the CREW program were non-significant.
High Carotenoid Mutants of Chlorella vulgaris Show Enhanced Biomass Yield under High Irradiance

Published: May 2021

Microalgae represent a carbon-neutral source of bulk biomass, for extraction of high-value compounds and production of renewable fuels. Due to their high metabolic activity and reproduction rates, species of the genus Chlorella are highly productive when cultivated in photobioreactors. However, wild-type strains show biological limitations making algal bioproducts expensive compared to those extracted from other feedstocks. Such constraints include inhomogeneous light distribution due to high optical density of the culture, and photoinhibition of the surface-exposed cells. Thus, the domestication of algal strains for industry makes it increasingly important to select traits aimed at enhancing light-use efficiency while withstanding excess light stress. Carotenoids have a crucial role in protecting against photooxidative damage and, thus, represent a promising target for algal domestication. We applied chemical mutagenesis to Chlorella vulgaris and selected for enhanced tolerance to the carotenoid biosynthesis inhibitor norflurazon. The NFR (norflurazon-resistant) strains showed an increased carotenoid pool size and enhanced tolerance towards photooxidative stress. Growth under excess light revealed an improved carbon assimilation rate of NFR strains with respect to WT. We conclude that domestication of Chlorella vulgaris, by optimizing both carotenoid/chlorophyll ratio and resistance to photooxidative stress, boosted light-to-biomass conversion efficiency under high light conditions typical of photobioreactors. Comparison with strains previously reported for enhanced tolerance to singlet oxygen, reveals that ROS resistance in Chlorella is promoted by at least two independent mechanisms, only one of which is carotenoid-dependent.
Effect of Size and Loading of Retinoic Acid in Polyvinyl Butyrate Nanoparticles on Amelioration of Colitis

Published: May 2021

Butyrate has been used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). However, the controlled release of butyrate has been indicated to be necessary in order to avoid the side effects verified at high concentrations. We previously developed nanoparticles (NPs) of polyvinyl butyrate (PVBu) as an oral butyrate donor for the controlled release of butyrate for the treatment of colitis. To examine the effect of the size of NPs on the therapeutic effect of colitis, here we prepared PVBu NPs with different sizes (100 nm and 200 nm). Both sizes of PVBu NPs significantly suppressed the inflammatory response in macrophages in vitro. PVBu NPs with 200 nm showed better effects on the amelioration of colitis compared with the 100 nm-NPs. We found unexpectedly that 200 nm-NP incorporated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) showed a much better therapeutic effect than those with unloaded 200 nm-NPs, although ATRA alone was reported to worsen the inflammation. The synergistic effect of ATRA with butyrate shows evidence of being a promising approach for IBD treatment.
Aerial Mapping of Odorous Gases in a Wastewater Treatment Plant Using a Small Drone
Authors: Burgués Javier , Esclapez María Deseada , Doñate Silvia , Pastor Laura , Marco Santiago
Published: May 2021

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are sources of greenhouse gases, hazardous air pollutants and offensive odors. These emissions can have negative repercussions in and around the plant, degrading the quality of life of surrounding neighborhoods, damaging the environment, and reducing employee’s overall job satisfaction. Current monitoring methodologies based on fixed gas detectors and sporadic olfactometric measurements (human panels) do not allow for an accurate spatial representation of such emissions. In this paper we use a small drone equipped with an array of electrochemical and metal oxide (MOX) sensors for mapping odorous gases in a mid-sized WWTP. An innovative sampling system based on two (10 m long) flexible tubes hanging from the drone allowed near-source sampling from a safe distance with negligible influence from the downwash of the drone’s propellers. The proposed platform is very convenient for monitoring hard-to-reach emission sources, such as the plant’s deodorization chimney, which turned out to be responsible for the strongest odor emissions. The geo-localized measurements visualized in the form of a two-dimensional (2D) gas concentration map revealed the main emission hotspots where abatement solutions were needed. A principal component analysis (PCA) of the multivariate sensor signals suggests that the proposed system can also be used to trace which emission source is responsible for a certain measurement.
Surjective Identifications of Convex Noetherian Separations in Topological (C, R) Space
Authors: Bagchi Susmit
Published: May 2021

The interplay of symmetry of algebraic structures in a space and the corresponding topological properties of the space provides interesting insights. This paper proposes the formation of a predicate evaluated P-separation of the subspace of a topological (C, R) space, where the P-separations form countable and finite number of connected components. The Noetherian P-separated subspaces within the respective components admit triangulated planar convexes. The vertices of triangulated planar convexes in the topological (C, R) space are not in the interior of the Noetherian P-separated open subspaces. However, the P-separation points are interior to the respective locally dense planar triangulated convexes. The Noetherian P-separated subspaces are surjectively identified in another topological (C, R) space maintaining the corresponding local homeomorphism. The surjective identification of two triangulated planar convexes generates a quasiloop–quasigroupoid hybrid algebraic variety. However, the prime order of the two surjectively identified triangulated convexes allows the formation of a cyclic group structure in a countable discrete set under bijection. The surjectively identified topological subspace containing the quasiloop–quasigroupoid hybrid admits linear translation operation, where the right-identity element of the quasiloop–quasigroupoid hybrid structure preserves the symmetry of distribution of other elements. Interestingly, the vertices of a triangulated planar convex form the oriented multiplicative group structures. The surjectively identified planar triangulated convexes in a locally homeomorphic subspace maintain path-connection, where the right-identity element of the quasiloop–quasigroupoid hybrid behaves as a point of separation. Surjectively identified topological subspaces admitting multiple triangulated planar convexes preserve an alternative form of topological chained intersection property.

Published: May 2021

The most important main points of the improved methodology for determining the costs of maintenance and repair of livestock equipment with the use of a number of standards are considered, the features of accounting and planning of this type of work (technical service of livestock equipment) are noted. The general provisions of the methodology for calculating the basic salary are given, depending on the choice of the form of payment for labor by the service for maintenance and repair of livestock equipment. To simplify these calculations, a justification is given for establishing a single general coefficient that takes into account accruals on the basic salary of workers when performing various types of work by specialists of farms (accrual of additional wages of workers, deductions for social insurance and the level of overhead costs from the basic salary) , etc.
A Christian Trans-Affirming Perspective on Changes to the Patient and Affordable Care Act
Authors: Timbers Veronica , Yancey Gaynor
Published: May 2021

The definition of sex in Section 1557 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has been a topic of debate, resulting in changes to protections for transgender and gender diverse individuals. The authors invite Christian social workers to engage the intellectual side of policy development while attending to our professional and Biblical calls to care for clients who are negatively affected by policy changes. A brief discussion on gender definitions and an overview of the Christian, trans-affirming approach are included to demonstrate that there is more than one Christian perspective on gender. Current research on the experiences of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals in healthcare offers important information for Christian social workers to reflect on regarding the equitable treatment of TGD individuals despite theologically different starting points. The paper will also assist the profession, at large, to understand the diversity of voices among faith-based social workers.

TERÖRİZMİN VE TERÖR ÖRGÜTÜNÜN PROPAGANDASI SUÇU VE CEZA HUKUKU SORUMLULUĞU
Authors: ÖZGENÇ İzzet
Published: May 2021

Terör örgütlerinin en önemli özelliği, belirli siyasi amaçlara ulaşabilmek için özellikle şiddet içeren suçları sistematik bir şeklide işlemeyi yöntem olarak benimsemiş olmalarıdır. Güdülen siyasi amaçlar “meşru” olsa bile, suç işlemeyi yöntem olarak benimsemiş olmaları dolayısıyla, hukuk, terör örgütlerine meşruiyet tanınmasına izin vermez. Siyasi iktidarlar veya genel olarak siyasi partiler, terör örgütünün “çözülmesini amaç edindiği” siyasi, sosyal, kültürel veya ekonomik sorunların varlığını kabullenebilirler ve bu sorunların çözümüne yönelik olarak politikalar geliştirebilirler. Ancak bu politikaların oluşturulmasında ve hayata geçirilmesinde terör örgütlerinin ve örgüt mensuplarının muhatap olarak alınmaması gerekir. Aksi takdirde, “meşru amaç, her türlü yolu mübah kılar” anlayışına geçerlilik tanınmış olur. Bu ise toplumda, faaliyeti çerçevesinde şiddet içeren ağır suçların sistematik bir şekilde işlendiği terör örgütlerinin “meşruiyeti” ve “ulviyeti” konusunda haksız, hukuki temeli olmayan bir kanaatin oluşmasına sebebiyet verir.

Bir terör örgütü tarafından toplumda mevcut olan siyasi, sosyal, kültürel veya ekonomik sorunların “çözümünün amaç” edinilmiş olması, ülkedeki siyasi iktidarı elinde bulunduran veya yönetime talip olan siyasi partiler tarafından bu sorunların varlığının kabullenilmesine ve bunların hukuk çerçevesinde, meşruiyet zemininde çözümüne yönelik politikalar oluşturmasına engel teşkil etmemelidir.

Ülkede mevcut olan siyasi, sosyal, kültürel veya ekonomik sorunların ve çözüm önerilerinin hukuk zemininde tartışılabilmesiyle, terör örgütlerinin özellikle çocuk yaştaki kişileri ve yabancı güçlerin de terör örgütlerini istismar etmesinin, ülke kaynaklarının heba edilmesinin önüne geçilebilecektir.

Bu hassas dengenin korunması amacıyla, terörizmin ve terör örgütünün propagandası bağlamında hangi fiillerin suç oluşturabileceğine ilişkin ölçütlerin sağlıklı bir şekilde belirlenmesi gerekir.

İşbu makalede, uygulamadan örnekler verilerek, söz konusu ölçütlerin belirlenmesine çalışılmıştır.

Ceza muhakemesi hukukunda, yargılama konusu olayı temsil eden her şey delil olabilir. Bu yönüyle ceza muhakemesinde delil serbestisi kuralı geçerlidir. Kovuşturma evresinde hakim, hukuka uygun elde edilmiş ve hakkında bir değerlendirme yasağı öngörülmemiş olan tüm delilleri serbestçe takdir eder (CMK m.217/1). Benzer şekilde, soruşturma evresinde Cumhuriyet savcısı da re’sen araştırma prensibi gereğince elde ettiği delilleri, iddianame düzenlemeye yeter bir şüphe derecesi oluşturup oluşturmadıkları yönünden takdir yetkisine sahiptir.
Ceza muhakemesi hukukunda, delillerin itibari değerine ilişkin yasal bir derecelendirme yoktur. Bununla birlikte, elde edilen delillerin soruşturmadan sonuç çıkarılması noktasında, yeterli şüpheye dayanak oluşturacak düzeyde bir etkiye sahip olup olmadıkları, kovuşturma bakımından ise ispatta hangi derecede fonksiyon icra ettikleri, çeşitli sebeplerle ve değerlendirme yetkisini haiz makamın takdirine bağlı olarak farklılık arz eder. Çalışmada, ceza muhakemesinde sıkça kullanılan bir delil olarak tanık beyanının, bu kapsamda sahip olduğu itibari değer; tanığın suç olayını doğrudan müşahede edip etmediği, yaşı, daha önce herhangi bir suçtan dolayı hakkında verilen ceza mahkumiyetine bağlı olarak oluşturulan bir adli sicil kaydının bulunup bulunmadığı, yürüttüğü görev nazarı itibara alınarak değerlendirilecek, ilgili kısımlarda, Kıta Avrupası ve Common Law hukuk sistemlerine ilişkin açıklamalara yer verilerek karşılaştırmalı hukuktaki uygulamalar çerçevesinde, beyanının itibar edilebilirliğine etki eden nedenler incelenecektir.

Ceza Muhakemesi Kanununun 148. maddesinde ifade alma ve sorguda yasak usuller sayılmış; bu tür usullerle elde edilen ifadelerin rıza verilmiş olsa dahi delil olarak kabul edilmeyeceği belirtilmiştir. Söz konusu hükümde sayılan yasak usullerin birçoğunun ne anlama geldiği ve içeriğinin nasıl doldurulması gerektiği kendiliğinden anlaşılmakla birlikte, aynı hususun aldatma için söylenemeyeceği açıktır. Zira maddede geçen aldatma kötü davranma, işkence, ilaç verme, cebir ve tehditte bulunma gibi diğer yasak usullerden farklı olarak insan onurunun mutlak ve açık ihlali olarak değerlendirilmemektedir. Ayrıca kolluğun başvurduğu her türlü hilenin aldatma kabul edilmesi halinde soruşturma organlarının hareket edemez hale geleceği ortadadır. Dolayısıyla yasak usul olarak aldatmanın ne anlama geldiği belirlenmelidir. İncelenmesi gereken diğer bir husus ise özel kişilerin kolluk görevlilerinin yerine ve onlar adına hareket etmelerinin ne zaman ifade alma olarak kabul edileceği ve bu rol değişiminin hangi durumlarda CMK m. 148 bağlamında “aldatma” olarak değerlendirileceğidir.

Published: May 2021

Fibrosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm of fibroblast that commonly found in middle-aged or older dogs. Breed and sex do not influence the incidence of fibrosarcoma. A 10 years old grey female mix Pomeranian with a bodyweight of 9.2 kg showed a semi-solid mass, with meat-like consistency that felt integrated with the tissue underneath. A mass with a diameter of ± 5 cm had been found in the left thigh near the anus. The other two unusual masses with smaller size (diameter ±1 cm) were also found at lateral sinister near extremities cranial of the body. A serial of diagnostic check-ups, such as physical and clinical check-up, USG, haematology, cytology, and histopathology tests was run to examine the dog condition. The USG result showed hypoechoic masses with slightly anechoic appearances. The haematology analysis showed a decrease in lymphocyte, MCV and hematocrit, meanwhile the granulocyte, MCHC and MHC showed an increasing trend. The cytology test revealed a fat-like vacuolization. Furthermore, the histology examination indicating the presence of large hyperchromic oval cells. The histopathology examination also found fibroblast cells that suspected as tumour cells with mitotic and infiltrated oval cores. Thus, the dog was diagnosed with fibrosarcoma and the prognosis was dubious. The surgery was done to remove the tumour masses.

The Appreciation of Ethics and Civilization (PEdP) is a compulsory university course introduced in 2020 for the Institution of Higher Learning (IHL) in replacement of Ethnic Relations. As a new compulsory university course, among its objectives is to ensure the students appreciate the ethics and civilization that appears in the multi-ethnic society of Malaysia. Accordingly, High Impact Education Practices (HEPs) have been practiced in Teaching and Learning activities to improve the students’ critical and analytical thinking in dealing with challenges both at present and in the future. This paper presents a discussion on the effectiveness of online teaching and learning of PEdP in accordance with the new norm. To do so, a study was conducted among the undergraduate students of Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS). The matters examined include the objectives, curriculum, and methods of teaching and learning. The study shows that the fundamental aims and objectives of this course were achieved despite being thought entirely online but it is expected that both goals and objectives can be highly achieved vita the application of traditional teaching and learning method of face to face teaching and learning activities.

Este artigo contempla algumas práticas educacionais inclusivas que permeiam a cibercultura voltadas para alunos com NEE (Necessidades Educacionais Especiais), dando ênfase aos alunos com TDAH (Transtorno do Déficit de Atenção com Hiperatividade) que frequentam os anos finais do Ensino Fundamental. O objetivo é mostrar alguns recursos digitais que podem incentivar estes alunos a ler e escrever a partir da educação remota. Ao abordar algumas especificidades e contribuições do letramento digital no processo de ensino/aprendizagem e sua relação com um mundo que está passando, simultaneamente, por uma pandemia causada pela COVI-19 e por uma progressiva convergência tecnológica, concluímos que a maioria das ferramentas digitais e apps não foi desenvolvida propriamente para o uso de alunos com TDAH que frequentam os anos finais do Ensino Fundamental. Contudo, observamos que, diante de uma intervenção adequada, alguns recursos tecnológicos podem ser úteis e facilitar o ensino/aprendizagem e a vida destes alunos. Este estudo será guiado pelas pesquisas realizadas por alguns estudiosos das áreas de leitura e alfabetização, educação mediada pela tecnologia, educação especial e educação inclusiva tais como Alexander e Fox (2004); Amorim (2010); Antunes (2001); Borges a al (2012); Coscarelli (2005); Menezes (2019); Neto et al (2018) e Rojo (2012; 2013), como também por estudiosos que se interessam em pesquisar os Transtornos Funcionais Específicos (TFEs), tais como; Andrade e Vasconcelos (2018); Gonçalves (2019); Lopes (2011); Paín (1985); Ribeiro (2005); Rohde e Benczik (1999), entre outros.

Hak asasi manusia (HAM) merupakan anugrah Tuhan yang bersifat kodrati. Ke-sadaran tentang HAM masih belum dipahami secara utuh dan merata di kalangan masyarakat. Padahal sebagai pengetahuan, HAM penting untuk ditransfer ke dalam dunia pendidikan. Dengan demikian, masyarakat dapat mempraktikkan hak yang seharusnya mereka miliki dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat, berbangsa dan bernegara. Artikel ini mengkaji tentang Deklarasi Universal Hak Asasi Manusia (DUHAM) di dunia Barat dan Deklarasi Kairo di dunia Islam sebagai dasar filosofi penegakan hukum atas pelanggaran-pelanggaran hak asasi manusia dalam dunia pendidikan Islam dan Barat. Dalam analisisnya digunakan pendekatan klasik, kultural, dan kritis atau disebut mixed approach. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa deklarasi HAM yang dilakukan oleh dunia internasional (PBB) dalam DUHAM dan Deklarasi Kairo oleh OKI, telah memberikan pengetahuan riil tentang pentingnya HAM dalam kehidupan sehingga manusia dapat mengetahui batasan-batasan dan kaidah-kaidah di dalamnya.Human rights is a natural gift from God. This awareness of human rights has not been understood well and comprehensively by all people. Whereas knowledge, human rights are important to be transformed into the realm of education. Thus, they can exercise the rights they should have in the life of society, nation and state. This article examines the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in the Western world and the Cairo Declaration in the Muslim world as a philosophical basis for upholding the law for human rights violations in the world of Islamic and Western education. The analysis uses classical, cultural, and critical approaches or what is called the mixed approach. The results of this study conclude that the human rights declaration carried out by the international community (UN) in the UDHR and the Cairo Declaration by the OIC has provided real knowledge of human rights in life so that humans can know the limitations and rules in it.
PERKEMBANGAN POLITIK ZAMAN HINDIA BELANDA DAN PENGARUHNYA TERHADAP HUKUM ISLAM

Sejarah bangsa Indonesia baik secara de facto maupun de jure tidak bisa di-lepaskan dari Belanda sehingga berdampak tidak hanya dalam hukum positif, tetapi juga dalam hukum Islam. Hal ini bisa dibuktikan dengan masih dipakainya HIR dan Rbg sebagai salah satu rujukan para hakim Pengadilan Agama dan pakar hukum Islam negeri ini dalam menentukan persoalan terkait hukum Islam, seperti perkawinan, pewarisan, dan sebagainya. Ada apa sebenarnya dengan hukum Islam di negeri ini. Ia pasti dan akan selalu berkait erat dengan hukum kolonial. Ternyata fakta sejarah menunjukkan bahwa hukum Islam memang berkaitan dengan hukum adat (hukum bentukan Belanda waktu itu). Tentunya pernyataan ini sarat dengan muatan politis karena bagaimana mungkin suatu adat atau kebiasaan dikaitkan dengan hukum Islam dan menjadi rujukan dari dulu hingga saat ini. Oleh karena itu, fakta sejarah sekaligus intrik politik yang melatarbelakangi perkembangan hukum Islam harus dikaji secara mendalam.The history of Indonesia cannot be separated from the Netherlands both de facto and de jure, so it has an impact not only on positive law but also on Islamic law. It’s can be evidenced by still wore HIR and Rbg as one of the references of the religious court judges and expert in this country to determine all matters that relating to Islamic law such as marriage, inheritance etc. What’s wrong with Islamic law in Indonesia? It must be closely linked with colonial law. The historical facts show that Islamic law is associated with customary law (law of the Netherlands at that time). This statement is absolutely loaded with political content because how could a custom or habit has been associating with Islamic law. Therefore the historical facts and political intrigue behind the development of Islamic law must be studied in depth.

El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar en qué medida los medios de información publicaron contenidos relacionados con Greta Thunberg durante la cumbre del clima COP25 y cómo fueron las interacciones de esta activista con los medios a través de la red social Twitter, además de analizar el modo en el que los medios de información se valieron del personaje para aumentar su impacto en la red social. Se clasificaron los tuits publicados por los medios de información en relación con la variable mención a Greta Thunberg, a través de pruebas estadísticas no paramétricas, y se estudió cómo los tuits que mencionaban a la activista sueca generaban más o menos engagement que los tuits que no lo hacían. Además, se analizó si el engagement de los diferentes mensajes publicados por los medios lograban engagement diferentes en función de si estos incluían elementos multimedia, URLs o sólo texto. La conclusión principal es que los tuits que incluían mención al usuario @GretaThunberg generaron mayor engagement que los que sólo incluían su nombre, además de que la activista en ningún momento interactuó con las cuentas que la mencionaron. Por otro lado, los tuits con elementos multimedia y los que nos incluían URLs generaron mayor engagement que el resto.

THE EFFECT OF FEED RESTRICTION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF BROILERWITH DIFFERENT STRAINS. This study aims to measure the growth performance of broilers with different strains through a feed restriction pattern at the beginning of growth (starter). This study used 72 day-old broilers consisting of 36 Cobb strains and 36 Lohman strains selected from each of them. -each 100 heads to get almost the same body weight obtained successively from PT. Charoen Phokphand and PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia. The design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with a 2x4 factorial pattern with 3 replications. The A factor is the difference in strains (A1 = Lohman, A2 = Cobb), while the B factor is the time of feed restriction (B0 = no feed restriction, B1 = feed restriction starts on day 8, B2 = Feed restriction starts on day 11, B3 = Feed restriction begins On day 14. There were 8 treatment combinations. Feed restriction was carried out as much as 20 percent. The measured variables were feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion. The results of the analysis of variance showed that there was a significant interaction (P <0.05) between the strains different from the start of the feed restriction on feed consumption and body weight gain, while the feed conversion variable did not show a significant interaction (P> 0.05) .Tukey's test results showed that the feed consumption in the combination of Lohman strain treatment with limitation time of 11 days (98.95) is not significantly different (P> 0.05) with the combination of A1B0 (97.52), A2B3 (91.34), but A2B0 (95.36) is significantly different (P <0.05) is higher with all combinations treatment. The results of the analysis of variance showed that there was a significant interaction (P <0.05) between factor A and factor B. The results of the Tukey test showed that the treatment of A1B2 (54.63) was not significantly different (P> 0.05) with A1B1 (51, 70), thus with treatment A2B0 (48.13), treatment A1B0 (49.93) with A2B1 (49.13), A2B3 (49.12), A2B0 (48.13) and A2B2 (47.21) . Lohman strain broiler and 20% restriction with restriction time starting on the eleventh day gave the best performance response. Keywords: Strain, feed restriction, time limitation
