Символика валунной кладки в архитектуре Восточной Пруссии (Калинин¬градская область) XIII - первой половины XX века
Authors: Belinceva Irina
Published: January 2020

Территория на берегу Балтийского моря (частично относя­щаяся к Калининградской области РФ), отвоёванная рыцарями Тевтонского ордена у языческих племен пруссов, изначально воспринималась символически - как замена утраченной Святой земли с центром в Иерусалиме. Кёнигсберг (совр. Калининград) в виде Иерусалима представлен в эпитафии Г. Нимпча (худ. Г. Кенигсвизер, после 1556 года. Музей Вармии и Мазур. Ольштын, Польша). Вблизи столицы когда-то стоял замок Иерусалим, куда совершали паломничество рыцари со всей Европы, чтобы выполнить обет и совершить крестовый поход в утраченный земной Иерусалим. В эпоху Средневеко­вья в северной части Восточной Пруссии из полевых камней (обычно в сочетании с кирпичом) возводили первые храмы и укрепления Тевтонского ордена. Использование валунов в храмовом и крепостном строительстве связывалась с идеей Небесного идеального града, сложенного из «живых камней». К числу ранних сооружений из полевого камня относится храм в бывшем Юдиттене (совр. Менделеево вблизи Калинингра­да) и другие культовые здания. Здания в «валунном стиле» вновь появились на этой территории в середине XIX - первой половине XX века, что связано с движением национального романтизма и обращением к древним традициям европейской архитектуры. К малоизученным объектам конца XIX - первой половины XX века относятся храм в Пальмникене (совр. Янтар­ный, 1887-1892), храм в Аугстагиррене (совр. Сосновка, арх. Ф.Ларс, 1923), башни Бисмарка (нач. ХХ в.), так называемый «партайбург» в Рагните (совр. Неман, до 1933) и другие со­оружения. Символика образного решения сооружений из полевого камня остаётся до конца невыясненной1.

Морфотипы кварталов исторического центра Санкт-Петербурга
Authors: Lavrov Leonid , Molotkova Elena , Perov Fedor
Published: January 2020

Отмечается, что в современном российском градостроитель­стве повысился интерес к потенциалу квартальной застройки, и в этой связи предлагается учесть опыт функционирования жилой среды этого типа в провинициальных городах, где она активно внедрялась со второй половины XVIII века. Самым крупным объектом исследования может стать сформирован­ный по правилам «генетического кода» исторический центр Санкт-Петербурга, который сейчас рассматривается как единый «средовый район». Отмечается, что проводившиеся исследо­вания исторического центра концентрировали внимание на эстетике, оставляя в тени внутриквартальные территории - в значительной степени из-за того, что активная градострои­тельная деятельность здесь прекратилась сто лет назад. Обра­щение к конкретному уровню отдельного квартала позволяет уточнить представление о «завершённости» исторической среды. Предлагается учесть объективные показатели сложив­шейся застройки и на этой базе провести дифференцирование огромной территории, выделить характерные морфотипы. При­водятся данные, которые позволяют выделить две основные зоны - бывший «город» и бывшие пригороды и предместья. Выявляются характерные показатели исторической застройки Санкт-Петербурга в зависимости от местоположения террито­риальной единицы. Приводятся примеры, которые позволяют заключить, что застройка, осуществлённая в Санкт-Петербурге во второй половине XIX - начале ХХ века, привела к форми­рованию весьма разнообразной городской среды, и каждый из возникших кварталов обладает значительными функцио­нально-планировочными особенностями. Отмечается, что при выделении признаков «петербургских морфотипов» целесо­образно учитывать не только собственную пространственную организацию кварталов, но и характер их связей с городским транспортно-пешеходным каркасом.

Published: January 2020

Introducción: se ha descrito la coexistencia de trastornos gastrointestinales funcionales (c-TGF) en lactantes y preescolares (LactPre); sin embargo, hay poca literatura sobre los principales c-TGF y sus características.

Objetivo: describir la prevalencia y posibles asociaciones de c-TGF en un mismo LactPre latinoamericano.

Metodología: estudio de prevalencia en LactPre de Colombia, Ecuador, Nicaragua y Panamá de consulta externa y urgencias, a quienes, según los criterios de Roma III en español, se identificaron regurgitación, síndrome de rumiación, síndrome del vómito cíclico, cólico, diarrea funcional, estreñimiento funcional y disquecia. Se tuvieron en cuenta la edad, el sexo y el origen. La estadística incluyó t de Student, chi cuadrado, prueba exacta de Fisher, análisis uni y multivariados y el cálculo de los OR e IC 95%, siendo una p <0,05 significativa.

Resultados: se analizaron 2417 niños (2,419,8 meses de edad, 51,3% masculinos, con diagnóstico de por lo menos algún TGF del 35,7%). Se presentó c-TGF en el 3,6%, siendo el principal el síndrome de rumiación del lactante (SRL) más estreñimiento funcional (EF). Hubo predomino del género masculino en los lactantes y ser colombiano.

Conclusión: la principal c-TGF en este grupo de LactPre de Latinoamérica es el SRL más EF, presentándose principalmente en el sexo masculino y en lactantes menores de 24 meses.

Authors: Jovanovic Sandra , Davidovic Sofija , Miljkovic Aleksandar , Atanackovic-Krstonosic Milica , Sazdanic Darija , Mikulic Mira
Published: January 2020

Introduction. Macula lutea is the central part of the retina and it houses
carotenoid macular pigments - lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin. It is
considered that carotenoids can prevent or slow down the progression of the
early age-related macular degeneration in some patients. Therefore, the aim
of this study was to examine the effects of supplementation with all three
macular pigments on vision quality in patients with early agerelated macular
degeneration. Material and Methods. This prospective study included 15
patients (25 eyes in total) with early age-related macular degeneration. All
visual tests - visual acuity, glare sensation and contrast sensitivity, were
performed at baseline and after 6 months of continuous supplementation with
10 mg lutein, 2 mg zeaxanthin, and 10 mg mesozeaxanthin. Results. The
results showed that glare sensitivity improved in 20% of cases. Most of the
examined eyes (76%) presented without visual acuity deterioration. Similar
results were obtained for the contrast sensitivity test, where in 80% of
cases vision quality remained stable or improved. There were no
statistically significant differences between average values of examined
parameters at baseline and after 6 months of supplementation. Conclusion. In
most of the examined eyes (over 75%) visual quality remained stable or
improvement of measured parameters was observed. This type of
supplementation may improve visual performance or its preservation in
patients with early age-related macular degeneration.

Clinical applications of BioAggregate in pediatric dentistry: Case reports
Authors: Caliskan Secil , Tuloglu Nuray , Bayrak Sule
Published: January 2020

Introduction. Calcium-silicate-based, nanoparticle-sized BioAggregate is produced as an alternative version of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). It contains additives such as calcium phosphate and silicon dioxide but does not contain aluminium oxide and bismuth oxide. Studies have shown that BioAggregate?s calcium-ion release is better than these qualities in MTA concerning fracture and acid resistance, biocompatibility and sealing ability. Case outline. In this paper, we examine eight case reports. These reports describe the long-term results of using BioAggregate in areas such as pulpotomy and root canal treatment in primary and permanent teeth, partial pulpotomy, artificial apical barrier construction of permanent teeth, root resorption repair, and treatment of dens in dente. Conclusion. As evidenced by the case reports examined here, BioAggregate can be used as alternative material to MTA in many dental treatments. These reports also show that the biocompatibility, antibacterial properties, hardening when moisture is present, ideal expansion percentage, impermeability, and dentine adhesion features of BioAggregate provide advantages in clinical use.

How do we employ UDL in our own practice?
Authors: Vincent Rochelle , Bailye Mark
Published: January 2020

As learner diversity continues to grow, so does the need for institutions to ensure that the needs of all learners are considered and appropriately addressed in the learning, teaching and assessment experiences they design and develop. Creating content and providing a learning experience that is accessible for all students can be challenging. In this session, participants will be exposed to the basic principles behind Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and how this can be achieved in practice. When learning materials are well designed – the closer the parity and quality of learning experience becomes for all learners.
Public Representation of the Tory Party in 1831–1834 (as in the Case of Russian Printed Press)
Authors: Klochkov Viktor Viktorovich ,   Southern Federal University
Published: January 2020

The paper examines the processes of institutionalization of public representation in Great Britain and Russia in the first third of the 19th century in connection with intensification of political interrelations. It is studied how the mentioned period of political situation in Great Britain was depicted in the Russian printed press in the first half of the 1830s. Some specific features of this period are determined in comparison with similar representation in other countries. The study analyzes the role and place of the press in formation of public opinion in Russia on the Tory Party in 1831–1834, as well as the adequateness and authenticity of such a role and place. It is shown that the Russian elite had sketchy knowledge of the Tory Party in 1831–1834 and a rather vague notion of it with regard to understanding foreign political realities. The research puts an emphasis on the fact that the correctness of estimation of political situation in Great Britain in the first half of the 1830s in Russian printed press seems reasonably doubtful.
Historical Knowledge as an Interaction Mechanism Between Society and State
Authors: Uporov Ivan Vladimirovich ,   Krasnodar University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation
Published: January 2020

The paper discusses the features of the development of historical knowledge in Russia in the context of their subjectivity/objectivity, their importance in the process of interaction between society and government is shown. The methods of dialectics, historicism, analysis, systemic and others were used. It is noted that historical knowledge in Russia, in contrast to knowledge in other humanitarian scientific fields, is directly woven into the current life of Russian society, determining behavioral attitudes for many citizens. This circumstance is used by the authorities to achieve their goals, and not always in the public interest. In particular, the rejection by the Soviet government of the positive achievements of the Russian Empire and the imposition of this historical position on the Soviet people negatively affected their historical consciousness. As a result, there is a high level of politicization of discussions about the history of Russia both among the population and professional historians, despite the expansion of the possibilities of scientific research, allowing the use of a significantly larger volume of historical documents. The work gives an explanation of this phenomenon.
Children’s «Aid Weeks» as a Form of Effective Fight Against Homelessness in Soviet Russia in the Early 1920s
Authors:   Russian University of Transport, Blonsky Leonid Vladimirovich
Published: January 2020

Тhe paper analyzes special features of the organization of “aid weeks” for street children in USSR in the early 1920s. One of the most difficult problems of the first years of the Soviet regime was the catastrophic level of homelessness, as a result of which several million children found themselves on the streets. In the early 1920s, the organization of “aid weeks” became an effective measure of assistance to street children. These activities included fundraising for the needs of poor children, working over the forms of struggle against social orphanhood, taking criminological and pedagogical measures aimed at improving the situation. The first all-Russian children’s “aid week” resulted in the establishment of the VTsIK Commission for Children’s Lives Improvement, a special body aimed at eradicating homelessness in Soviet Russia.

Authors: Chesniak Marina Gennadyevna ,   Stavropol State Historical, Cultural and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve, Kalabukhova Elena Vyacheslavovna ,   Stavropol State Historical, Cultural and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve
Published: January 2020

The cultural aspect of artistic communication on the example of museum collections in the Stavropol museums is discussed in the paper. The relevance and novelty of the topic are determined by the fragmentation of cultural and historical research, including pictorial art in the Stavropol Territory during the Soviet period. The historical approach is used in the analysis of works from art museum collections. The events in the artistic culture of the Stavropol in 1950s–1970s are analyzed. It is noticed that the organization of artists creative trips around the region with the aim to provide them possibility for village life exploring and for collecting necessary field material was new at those period. The results of the trips were creating of compositions reflecting political issues of the period under review (development of virgin lands, active construction, reclamation). The main themes and ideas of works of art in which local artists reflected regional history are considered on example Stavropol museums collections. The materials of the research can be used both in museum trade and in studying the local domestic history of this period.

Authors: Yazovskaya Olga Valeryevna ,   Ural Federal University, Kuzmin Dmitry Olegovich ,   Chelyabinsk State University,   Ural Federal University
Published: January 2020

The study presents an inquiry into the new forms of social interaction that had emerged in the late 20th – early 21st century under the influence of virtual reality, demonstrated by the festivals of contemporary Japanese culture (anime fests) hosted in Russia. History and evolution of the anime fest phenomenon and public videogame sessions included in it, as well as its significance for contemporary Russian youth, serve as an introduction into the topic. Utilizing Erving Goffman’s frame theory and the concept of involvement, anime fests hosted in Yekaterinburg (AsiaBreeze, ChibiFest) are analyzed, showing them as complex events with multitudes of frames operating within them, including a theater frame for characterizing a cosplay show and an exhibition frame describing public sessions of dance-type video games.

Published: January 2020

The subject of the study is the teaching of the representative of the Kiev Theological Academy, the largest «Orthodox rationalist» Petr Ivanovich Linitsky, on the subject of philosophy. Based on the analysis of individual works of P.I. Linitsky, conclusions about the essence of philosophy, its subject, tasks and significance in the life of society are drawn. Recognizing the universal nature of philosophy, the philosopher believes that its goals should also be universal. The purpose of philosophy is the meaning that belongs to it in the education and development of the spiritual life of mankind. Theist philosopher recognizes that philosophy seeks to clarify the main motives and goals in all areas of human activity. Attention is drawn to the definition of the universality of the nature of philosophy, its special significance among other sciences by Russian scientists. The philosopher sees the main goal of science in the formation of a common worldview, and he believes that it consists of the essential task, stemming from the nature of the human mind, which strives for unity in knowledge, as well as for combining the particular with the general.
The Theory of Impetus in the Writings of Albert of Saxony (1320–1390), Nicolas Oresme (1320–1382) and Their Followers
Authors: Loreti Angelo ,   Russian National Research Medical University
Published: January 2020

The purpose of the research is to study the development of the theory of impetus in the works of J. Buridan and his students. An attempt to characterize the concept of “impetus” and the reconstruction of the provisions of the natural philosophical concept of impetus in the works of these philosophers of the Middle Ages became the main tasks. The analysis of original texts written in French and Latin, and related works on the history of philosophy served as a research method. The texts of the sources are given in the author’s translation, since they have not been previously translated into Russian. The author draws attention to the fact that in the works of A. Saxon and N. Oresme, the impetus of the motion of celestial bodies differs from that of terrestrial bodies in that the latter have a tend to resist violent motion. N. Oresme defines impetus as a cause not of own motion, but of acceleration, which substantially brings it closer to the Newtonian concept of force. However, N. Oresme was not able to develop this conjecture within the framework of the developed theory. It is concluded that many theses of Aristotle are still preserved in the notes of scientists, for example, the idea that the motion needs a reason, or the concept of a natural place. The results of the study can be used in the preparation of courses on the history of science, the history of the Middle Ages, and the history of medieval literature. The practical significance lies in the introduction into the scientific circulation of fragments of the treatises of A. Saxon and N. Oresme in the original language, which will allow further consideration of other aspects of this issue.
The Social Value of Mediation as a Mechanism for the Prevention and Resolution of Conflicts in Modern Society
Authors: Salimgareev Denis Igorevich ,   Bashkir State University
Published: January 2020

The paper discusses the theoretical understanding of the influence of mediation technologies on the processes of social relationships. Social tension is often caused by the destabilization of key areas of human activity and becomes the cause of conflict confrontations. The work focuses on the social systems that form the basis of social relations – school, family, legal environment and work, in which mediation should be applied on an ongoing basis for the mandatory management of the conflict. A retrospective analysis allows you to look at the problem of social disagreements from the point of view of developing methods that allow you to take control of the conflict process. Such a solution will counterbalance the method of imperative conflict resolution without localizing the conflictive as the root cause of the confrontation. In the context of ensuring peaceful coexistence, conciliation procedures are an effective method of regulating tension in modern society and preventing interpersonal and social conflicts.
«Moras. Imaginarios de género y alteridad en la narrativa española del siglo XX», de Yasmina Romero Morales
Authors: Hernández Rodríguez Ana Isabel
Published: January 2020

Reseña del libro Moras. Imaginarios de género y alteridad en la narrativa española del siglo XX (Madrid, Editorial Plaza y Valdés, 2020),de Yasmina Romero Morales.

El estudio de Romero Morales pone el foco de atención, desde las premisas teóricas vertidas por los estudios postcoloniales y los necesarios estudios de género, en la narrativa española de tema marroquí escrita por mujeres durante el siglo XX. Un análisis exhaustivo de sesenta y dos textos, novelas y relatos, interesado, principalmente, en la construcción discursiva que veintidós autoras españolas hacen de la mujer marroquí que imaginan para sus ficciones y que evidencia el escoramiento de estas escritoras hacia sus propios intereses identitarios. Es así, como Romero Morales demuestra que esta narrativa, especialmente abundante como se explica en la introducción del volumen, condena a los personajes femeninos marroquíes a la subalternidad, desproveyéndolos de voz y alejándolas de la factualidad de las verdaderas mujeres que habitan al otro lado del Estrecho.
Black Holes are Rejuvenating Systems of the Universe
Authors: Sorli Amrit Srecko
Published: January 2020

Recent research on superfluid quantum vacuum as the physical origin of universal space has opened new perspectives in astronomy and cosmology. Every stellar object is in the active relation with space and its density diminishes according to the mass-energy equivalence principle. As per Newton’s Shell Theorem, vacuum density is minimum at the surface of the stellar objects and in their centre. The density of space on the surface of the Black holes and in their centre is so low that atoms become unstable. Therefore, they disintegrate back into the elementary particles and cosmic rays. By transforming old matter into these fresh energies, black holes are rejuvenating the universe and keeping its entropy constant.
Characteristics of intrahousehold interdog aggression and dog and pair factors associated with a poor outcome
Authors: Feltes Elizabeth S. M. , Stull Jason W. , Herron Meghan E. , Haug Lore I.
Published: January 2020

OBJECTIVE

To describe characteristics of intrahousehold interdog aggression (IDA) and dog and pair factors associated with a poor outcome (permanent separation, rehoming, or euthanasia of dogs).

ANIMALS

305 pairs of dogs (610 dogs) with IDA.

PROCEDURES

The record database of a referral veterinary behavioral clinic was searched to identify pairs of dogs that were evaluated for IDA (IDA pairs) between September 2007 and September 2016. A standardized form was used to extract data for each IDA pair, including signalment and acquisition order of both dogs, history of IDA, behavioral interventions implemented, and outcome. Descriptive data were generated. Univariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with a poor outcome.

RESULTS

Most IDA pairs included at least 1 female dog (214/305 [70%]) and dogs of the same sex (188/305 [61.6%]). Resource guarding was the most common fight trigger (222/305 [72.8%]). Possessive aggression (guarding of physical resources) was the most common comorbidity for individual dogs (216/610 [35.4%]). The aggressor was acquired after the recipient in 181 of 305 (59.3%) pairs. Aggressors were a mean of 16 months younger and 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) heavier than recipients. Factors associated with a poor outcome included pairs of the same sex, history of bites that broke the skin, and aggression on sight of the recipient.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results suggested that behavior intervention should be provided quickly for IDA pairs with a history of bites that break the skin or uninhibited attacks on sight owing to the high risk for a poor outcome. Owners should be advised to avoid same-sex pairs during preadoption counseling.
Tick paralysis in a free-ranging bobcat (Lynx rufus)
Authors: Persky Meredith E. , Jafarey Yousuf S. , Christoff Sarah E. , Maddox Dewey D. , Stowell Stephanie A. , Norton Terry M.
Published: January 2020

CASE DESCRIPTION

A free-ranging male bobcat (Lynx rufus) was evaluated because of signs of pelvic limb paralysis.

CLINICAL FINDINGS

Physical examination of the anesthetized animal revealed tick infestation, normal mentation, and a lack of evidence of traumatic injuries. Radiography revealed no clinically relevant abnormalities. Hematologic analysis results were generally unremarkable, and serologic tests for exposure to feline coronavirus, FeLV, FIV, and Toxoplasma gondii were negative. Results of PCR assays for flea- and common tick-borne organisms other than Bartonella clarridgeiae were negative.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME

Ticks were manually removed, and the patient received supportive care and fipronil treatment. The bobcat made a full recovery within 72 hours after treatment for ticks, and a presumptive diagnosis of tick paralysis was made. Identified tick species included Dermacenter variabilis, Amblyomma americanum, and Ixodes scapularis.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

To the authors’ knowledge, tick paralysis has not previously been reported in felids outside Australia. This disease should be considered a differential diagnosis in felids, including exotic cats, with signs of neuromuscular disease of unknown etiopathogenesis.
Prevalence of mental health outcomes among Canadian veterinarians
Authors: Perret Jennifer L. , Best Colleen O. , Coe Jason B. , Greer Amy L. , Khosa Deep K. , Jones-Bitton Andria
Published: January 2020

OBJECTIVE

To estimate the prevalence of perceived stress, burnout, depression, anxiety, compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction, resilience, and suicidal ideation among Canadian veterinarians and compare results with those for other populations.

SAMPLE

1,403 veterinarians across Canada.

PROCEDURES

The study represented a cross-sectional online survey. The questionnaire incorporated validated psychometric instruments to measure perceived stress, burnout, depression, anxiety, compassion fatigue, and resilience as well as questions regarding suicidal ideation. Means and relative proportions in categories of severity were compared between genders as well as with normative data for the general population and results for veterinarians in the United Kingdom.

RESULTS

Approximately 10% of Canadian veterinarians (n = 1,403) completed the survey. Relative to the general population, survey participants had significantly higher mean scores for subscales of burnout and compassion fatigue, anxiety, and depression and significantly lower mean resilience. Relative to males, females had significantly higher mean scores for perceived stress, emotional exhaustion, burnout, secondary traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression and significantly lower mean resilience. Participants also had higher mean scores for anxiety and depression relative to results for United Kingdom veterinarians. The 12-month prevalence of suicidal ideation for participants was 26.2%, which was substantially higher than the estimated prevalence for the general international population (2.1% to 10.0%).

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results suggested that the mental health of Canadian veterinarians was poor, compared with the mental health of the general population. These results should serve as a call to action for tools and educational programs directed at supporting veterinarian mental wellness in Canada, with special attention paid to the disparate needs of the genders.

AbstractAn archipelago country consisting of tens of thousands of small and big islands, Indonesia is mostly of a vast waters territory. Despite the amazing maritime potentials they are posed, the small, frontmost islands still experience difficulties in maximazing their natural riches, beauty, and mining potentials for their prosperity. Maritime policy repositioning is significant to implement to optimize those frontmost, small islands’ potentials. Such policy repositinoning shall include economy and politics sectors to optimize people’s welfare through the prioritization of our previously-abandoned maritime sector and integrate it with the land. The archaeological researches in small and frontmost islands may help describe the inhabiting of the islands by ancient people of such periods of pre-historic, classic, Islamic, or colonial. Such archaeological findings suggest the potentials of the small, frontmost islands to be used for the current Indonesian people’s prosperity when handled with care.AbstrakIndonesia sebagai negara kepulauan, terdiri atas puluhan ribu pulau, baik kecil maupun besar, dengan sebagian besar wilayahnya adalah lautan luas. Pulau-pulau kecil dan terdepan mempunyai potensi kelautan yang luar biasa, namun kekayaan hayati, keindahan alam, dan pertambangan belum dapat dimanfaatkan semaksimal mungkin untuk kesejahteraan penghuninya. Untuk dapat mengembangkan pulau-pulau kecil dan terdepan secara optimal, perlu adanya reposisi kebijakan kelautan. Reposisi kebijakan kelautan adalah suatu kebijakan politik dan ekonomi dalam rangka pembangunan ekonomi, yang meninggalkan paradigma lama yakni menempatkan sektor kelautan sebagai marjinal, berubah menjadi arus utama dalam pembangunan ekonomi dengan tetap mengintegrasikannya dengan sektor daratan. Penelitian arkeologi di pulau-pulau kecil dan terdepan dapat memberi gambaran bahwa sebagian dari pulau-pulau itu pernah dihuni atau dimanfaatkan manusia pada masa lalu, sejak masa Prasejarah, masa Klasik, masa Islam, maupun masa Kolonial. Ini menunjukkan bahwa pulau-pulau kecil dan terdepan itu sebenarnya bisa dimanfaatkan untuk kesejahteraan masyarakat Indonesia masa kini, jika dikelola dengan serius. Untuk menjawab permasalahan itu digunakan metode penelitian deskriptif dengan penalaran induktif melalui penggabungan penelitian sejarah, filologi, dan arkeologi. Pengembangan berbagai potensi tinggalan arkeologis di pulau-pulau kecil dan terdepan yang merupakan hasil penelitian arkeologi merupakan kontribusi arkeologi bagi pengembangan pulau-pulau kecil dan terdepan.

AbstractBatu islands are rich for archaeological potentials, relevant to the varied ethnicity. Nias ethnic, one the ethnics inhabiting Batu islands, has drawn several intriguing questions on how they used to treat the dead and what relevance the funeral ceremony rites had with those practiced in Southern Nias where Nias ethnic inhabiting Batu islands originated. This research is a direct observation survey supported by interviews whose data analysis is through library studies and comparative studies by comparing research objects found with those of Nias island and other cultures in Indonesia. Some data acquired in this research, such Nias ancient tombs in Hayo island, Tanah Masa, Sigata, Memong, Marit, and Biang, generally described how Nias ethnic inhabiting  Batu islands practiced a mixed open primary and secondary funeral system using wooden coffins without burial. Such funeral system by Nias ethnic in Batu islands was found to bear similarities with that of Southern Nias. Thus, it can be concluded that generally Nias ethnic in Batu islands still practiced the same funeral tradition as the place of origin did.AbstrakPotensi arkeologis di Kepulauan Batu cukup beragam, terkait dengan keberagaman etnis yang mendiami pulau-pulau di wilayah itu. Sehubungan dengan eksistensi etnis Nias di kepulauan Batu, ada dua hal yang menarik untuk dibahas dalam tulisan ini, yaitu bagaimanakah di masa lalu etnis Nias yang mendiami gugusan Kepulauan Batu memberikan perlakuan terhadap orang yang meninggal dunia; dan apakah cara-cara yang dilakukan tersebut memiliki kesamaan dengan cara penguburan yang dikenal di bagian selatan Pulau Nias, sebagai daerah asal etnis Nias di Kepulauan Batu? Penelitian ini merupakan sebuah kegiatan survei melalui metode observasi langsung, yang didukung dengan wawancara. Dalam analisis data digunakan metode komparatif, yaitu membandingkan objek penelitian dengan yang terdapat di bagian selatan Pulau Nias, serta temuan sejenis di wilayah budaya lainnya di Indonesia. Selain itu juga digunakan studi pustaka sebagai penunjang. Data-data yang diperoleh dalam penelitian ini berupa kubur kuno etnis Nias yang terdapat di Pulau Hayo, Tanah Masa, Sigata, Memong, Marit, dan Biang, yang secara umum dapat menggambarkan bahwa di masa lalu etnis Nias yang bermukim di Kepulauan Batu menerapkan sistem penguburan campuran primer dan sekunder terbuka dengan menggunakan wadah peti dari kayu tanpa proses pengebumian. Cara tersebut ternyata juga memiliki persamaan dengan yang digunakan oleh etnis Nias di Pulau Nias bagian selatan yang diketahui sebagai daerah asal etnis Nias yang bermukim di Kepulauan Batu. Dengan demikian dapat ditarik benang merah bahwa secara umum etnis Nias di Kepulauan Batu masih menerapkan budaya penguburan yang sama dengan budaya penguburan yang dikenal di daerah asalnya.

AbstractLocated at the delta of Batang Kuantan river in Kuantan Sengingi, Riau, Padang Candi has indicated traces of the past Śrīwijaya Hindu-Biddha cultures through a series of researches from 2010 to 2013. A number of researches on Śrīwijayan Buddhism theories and concepts, the findings of golden inscription plates with Buddhism mantra along with the discovery location at the site, and other archaeological findings have strongly suggested the site of being not only Buddha Mahāyāna sanctuary, but also as a Ma ṇḍ ala, a settlement of priests community.AbstrakPadang Caṇḍi merupakan sebuah situs arkeologi yang terletak di hulu Sungai/Batang Kuantan, Kuantan Sengingi, Riau. Dari hasil penelitian sejak tahun 2010 hingga 2013 situs ini mengindikasikan adanya jejak kegiatan masa lalu di masa pengaruh kebudayaan Hindu Buddha khususnya di masa Śrīwijaya. Melalui telaah teori dan konsep dalam keagamaan Buddha masa Śrīwijaya, adanya temuan lempengan prasasti emas bertuliskan mantra Buddha dan komposisi letak temuan di area situs, sertaberbagai temuan-temuan arkeologi lainnya, memberikan dugaan kuat bahwa situs ini tidak saja sebagai sebuah tempat suci agama Buddha Mahāyāna, tetapi juga berfungsi sebagai Maṇḍala yaitu permukiman komunitas agamawan/pandhita.

Authors: Rema Nyoman
Published: January 2020

AbstractGanesha, often depicted as elephant-headed, is a deity worshipped by Ganapatya sect. This Ganapatya sect is known to have left statues as the cultural heritage. Such a heritage indicates Ganapatya’s popularity from its birth until today despite its unification to Ṥiwa Siddhanta sect in Bali. This research generally aims at identifying the Ganesha statue, which was discovered in Subak Bubunan, Sukawati, Gianyar, more specifically its shape, function, and philosophy. Started with library studies, the research continued with field observations for relevant data. The acquired data was then analyzed iconographically, presented through pictorial narrations, and ended with a conclusion. This research came to a conclusion that the Ganesha discovered was the swastikasana Ganesha that functions as a disaster repellent. It is an embodiment of a self harmony with the nature to achieve prosperity.AbstrakDewa Ganesha adalah dewa pujaan Sekte Ganapatya yang digambarkan sebagai manusia berkepala gajah. Sekte ini merupakan salah satu sekte yang banyak meninggalkan tinggalan budaya berupa arca. Hal ini sebagai indikasi bahwa sekte ini adalah salah satu sekte populer sejak kemunculannya sampai sekarang, meskipun telah tergabung ke dalam Sekte Ṥiwa Siddhanta di Bali. Secara umum, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui identitas arca, dan secara khusus untuk mengetahui bentuk, fungsi, serta makna arca Ganesa di Subak Bubunan, Sukawati, Gianyar. Penelitian ini diawali dengan studi pustaka, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan melaksanakan observasi di lapangan dalam rangka untuk mendapatkan data yang relevan. Data dianalisis secara ikonografi kemudian disajikan secara naratif dilengkapi dengan gambar, kemudian diakhiri dengan menarik kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian ini adalah penggambaran Ganesha dengan sikap swastikasana yang berfungsi untuk menolak malapetaka. Perwujudan Ganesha itu bermakna sebagai harmonisasi diri dengan alam untuk mencapai kesejahteraan.
STRATEGIES FOR INSTRUCTOR PROTECTION FROM FALSE AND FRIVOLOUS HUMAN RIGHTS COMPLAINTS
Authors: Neumann W.P. , Salustri F.A.
Published: January 2020

False or frivolous human rights complaints against instructors, by students unsatisfied with their grades, have become a growing problem in some universities. These complaints and associated lengthy investigations are a form of mobbing that is harmful to instructors’ health and wellbeing. This in turn is harmful to instructors’ families, professional relationships, the pedagogical environment and the instructors’ careers. This paper reports on a brainstorming exercise used to identify possible ideas for preventing such false claims of human rights violations. This work operates under the assumption that the institution is unwilling or unable to improve their complaint management process. The authors identified 12 viable ideas that might help reduce the probability of a student making false accusations when unsatisfied with their grades. These ideas could be clustered as “Acquiesce”, “Shift Blame”, “Interaction Monitoring”, and “Separation”.  All ideas had problem associated with them. Some ideas, like separation, were consistent with current pedagogical trends in distance and asynchronous education. In the face of a lack of institutional engagement in the current problem, the only idea identified that could secure instructor safety and wellbeing was to leave the profession. Further investigation is needed.

Published: January 2020

Whether in chemical, civil, mechanical, electrical, or their related engineering subdisciplines, remaining up-to-date in the subject matter is crucial. However, due to the pace of technological evolution, information and communications technology (ICT) fields of study are impacted with much higher consequences. Meanwhile, the curricula of higher educational institutes are struggling to catch up to this reality. In order to remain competitive, engineering schools ought to offer ICT related courses that are at once modern, relevant and ultimately beneficial for the employability of their graduates. In this spirit, we were recently mandated by our engineering school to develop and design telecommunication courses with great emphasis on (i) technological modernity, and (ii) experiential learning. To accomplish these objectives, we utilized the conceive, design, implement and operate (CDIO) framework, a modern engineering education initiative of which Sheridan is a member. In this article, we chronicle the steps we took to streamline and modernize the curriculum by outlining an effective methodology for course design and development with CDIO.  We then provide examples of course update and design using the proposed methodology and highlight the lessons learned from this systematic curriculum development endeavor.
Bolívar Echeverría: Crítica, forma natural y teología negativa
Authors: Oliva Mendoza Carlos
Published: January 2020

El ensayo es un intento de sintetizar y proyectar el trabajo teórico de Bolívar Echeverría. Se centra en el estudio y despliegue de su teoría crítica a partir de su trabajo sobre la contradicción fundamental del capitalismo: la tensión entre valor de uso y valor. En este sentido, se estudia la importancia que para Echeverría tiene la llamada “forma natural social” como contraposición a la forma artificial de acumulación de capitales. Este ensayo, refleja esta contradicción en sus investigaciones sobre el problema de la revolución, la vigencia de la izquierda y la constitución de una modernidad alternativa al capitalismo.

The methanolic and chloroform extracts of leaves and bark of Zanthoxylum armatum DC. were evaluated for their phytochemical analysis and biological activities. In phytochemical analysis, fargsin was identified as major constituent in leaves methanolic and leaves chloroform extracts. t-butylamine and benzoxazole, 2-(isobutylamino) were identified as the major constituents in bark methanolic and bark chloroform extracts respectively. Both the extracts exhibited moderate antioxidant activity with IC50 values ranging from 19.42±0.07 to78.01±0.31 µg. These extracts also possess moderate anti-inflammatory activity with IB50 values ranging from 28.53 ± 0.06 to 89.80 ± 0.05 µg. Moderate anti-bacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus has also been observed in both the extracts. The total flavonoids, orthodihydric phenols and phenolic contents were also quantified in the extracts. Based on these observations, it can be concluded that Zanthoxylum armatum DC. may be used as herbal antioxidant, food preservative, natural anti-inflammatory drug and natural bactericidal, besides generation of data base for judicious exploitation in future.
Aspectos morfo-fisiológicos del tracto digestivo en larvas de IV estadio de Bradysia impatien (Diptera: Sciaridae)
Authors: Marín-Cruz Victor Hugo , Rodríguez-Navarro Silvia , Barranco-Florido Juan Esteban , Terrón-Sierra Roberto Alejandro , Cibrián-Tovar David
Published: January 2020

La morfología, citología y algunos aspectos fisiológicos del tracto digestivo de larvas de cuarto estadio del siárido Bradysia impatiens se estudiaron utilizando microscopía de campo brillante. Se observó la división del tracto digestivo (estomodeo, mesenterón y proctodeo); las células que lo componen son columnares, regenerativas y endocrinas. Las larvas no presentan buche y la digestión del bolo alimenticio se realiza en el intestino medio; tienen dos ciegos gástricos bien desarrollados, que permiten suponer que existe una gran absorción de nutrientes. La membrana peritrófica es del tipo II, con un tamaño de poro que permite el paso de moléculas de hasta 150 kDa y divide el intestino medio en dos regiones, los espacios endo y ecto peritrófico. Tiene cuatro tubos de Malpighi. El intestino medio posee un gradiente de pH que va de alcalino en el intestino anterior a neutro en los ciegos gástricos y el intestino posterior. Tiene un mecanismo de recirculación que mejora la digestión y reutilización de enzimas digestivas, que va del espacio endoperitrófico al ectoperitrófico y viceversa. Las características morfofisiológicas mostradas en las larvas de B. impatiens permiten confirmar que son organismos bien adaptados como detritívoros. Además, la membrana peritrófica protege al intestino medio de agentes patógenos.
