Authors: Mellia Garmien , Hertanto Hertanto , Warganegara Arizka , Kurniawan Robi Cahyadi
Published: November 2022

In the 2019 concurrent election, the General Election Commission of Palembang City was prosecuted due to the accusation of not executing recommendations and not protecting voting rights. This research aims to : (1) identify the source of internal conflict; (2) identify the source of external conflict, and (3) analyze conflict management applied to resolve the conflict. This research’s method is qualitative descriptive, data were collected through interviews with purposive informants and documentation. Research shows that conflict was mainly caused by lack of regulation and human resources factors which can be specified into internal conflict were caused by personal factors such as (1) communicational barrier; (2) conflict of interest in recruitment; (3) character differences. Functional factors were disproportioned structure and lack of competence. External conflicts were mainly caused by lack of regulation resulted in misperceptions and also personal and intervention factors. By using the framework of organizational conflict management, it has become clear that the General Election Commission of Palembang applied different approaches to conflict management: forcing and withdrawal for ad hoc electoral body, and institutional (legal approach) in dealing with the Election Supervisory Agency of Palembang. Although they might produce some agreements, those types of conflict management were not leading to genuine resolution since it was a win-lose pattern. It is important to formulate rigid regulation, enhance the competence of election organizers, develop check and balance coordination, and synergize as fellow election organizers to avoid conflict reoccurrence in the future.
The Heretic Nature of Al-Qaeda’s Ideology
Authors: Kostanian Ararat
Published: November 2022

The purpose of the article is to illustrate the ideological aspect of Al-Qaeda that constitutes the pillar of the organisation based on distinct interpretation of Quran and biased understanding of the meaning of Jihad. The functional method of Al-Qaeda is not simplistic or unsystematic, aimed at a particular target or focused or specific country or region. In my findings, it is evident that the formation of such transnational organisation couldn’t have been revealed without political Ideology with its manifesto and the mechanism to spread its messages all over the world. As well, the article reveals that it will not be correct to put Al-Qaeda among the category of the classical terror groups as I have shown in the article as a comparison. Moreover, Al-Qaeda is not similar to any categories of political actor; since the distinction between Jihad and waging war has always been differentiated in the context of Political Islam. Furthermore, my finding reveals the heretic ideology of Al-Qaeda which had spread all over the world and has become an enemy to Islam itself. Harmed the reputation of Islam as a religion. Attention on the ideologic context of Al-Qaeda hasn’t been researched well previously, unknown to majority of the experts. Instead, the attention at most has been put on its ground actions, security concerns and counter terrorism. The article reveals Al-Qaeda’s distinct ideology and its dissimilarity with political actors in the Islamic world, as well as with other liberation movements that is helpful to choose correctly on how to fight against terror in smart methods.

Authors: Yusnaini Yusnaini , Ginting Eraskaita
Published: November 2022

Cadre formation is essential in a political party. The current phenomenon is that many political parties have not been able to carry out the selection and regeneration process as expected, especially for women legislative candidates. In comparison, the quality of cadres in a political party determines the selling power of the social party. This study is essential to do considering that the legislative members who sit as people's representatives in the DPR must carry out their functions as people's representatives in conveying their aspirations and ideas to the government. The Legislature who is elected as the people's representatives in communicating aspirations must be people or cadres who have capability and acceptability. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of regeneration in understanding party values​​. The results of this study can provide recommendations to political parties in selecting and nominating their members. The qualitative research method with a phenomenological study approach and systems theory in organizational communication is considered relevant for analyzing existing cases. Data was collected through interviews with party officials, women legislative members, female legislative candidates in Jambi city, political observers or academics. The results showed that the higher the quality of the cadre system carried out by a political party, the better the quality of the party’s cadres when occupying political positions both internally and externally.

Razvoj i institucionalizacija komparativne politike u hrvatskoj političkoj znanosti
Authors: Boban Davor , Nikić Čakar Dario
Published: November 2022

Komparativna politika u Hrvatskoj prošla je faze početnog razvoja i institucionalizacije. Od svog osnivanja 1962. Fakultet političkih znanosti u Zagrebu glavna je znanstvena i visokoobrazovna institucija za političku znanost u Hrvatskoj te se komparativna politika u hrvatskoj političkoj znanosti primarno razvijala i institucionalizirala na njemu. U prva četiri desetljeća postojanja Fakulteta sporadično su se provodila istraživanja i objavljivali znanstveni radovi o stranim politikama te to razdoblje smatramo fazom početnog razvoja komparativne politike. Osnivanje Odsjeka za komparativnu politiku na Fakultetu 2004. godine označilo je početak sustavnog rada na njezinu daljnjem razvoju kroz znanstvena istraživanja i nastavu na studiju politologije. To je omogućilo institucionalizaciju poddiscipline koju analiziramo uz pomoć teorijskog koncepta Gabrielle Ilonszki s pet značajki institucionalizacije: identitetom, autonomijom, reprodukcijom, legitimnosti i stabilnosti. Na temelju te analize donosimo zaključke o tome kakvo je stanje komparativne politike na Fakultetu političkih znanosti u Zagrebu 2022., 60 godina nakon osnivanja Fakulteta i 18 godina nakon osnivanja Odsjeka.
Shvaćanja demokracije u Političkoj misli
Authors: Kursar Tonči
Published: November 2022

Autor se bavi shvaćanjima demokracije u časopisu Politička misao. Analize objavljivane u gotovo šezdeset godina postojanja časopisa u prvom su se redu bavile dvama temeljnim shvaćanjima: samoupravnom demokracijom i inačicama liberalne demokracije. Autor ne inzistira na strukturnoj razlici između samoupravne i liberalne demokracije, nego drži da imaju nešto zajedničko. Obje su, naime, mišljene kao “posljednji politički oblici” (Đorđević), odnosno oblici kojima završava povijest (Fukuyama). Drugo, obje su se razvijale kao svojevrsne konsenzusne demokracije, što se u tekstu istražuje na osnovi uvida Rancièrea (i Badioua). Kao “konsenzusne demokracije” pokazuju nemalu restriktivnost u pogledu tipova interesa koji imaju pravo javnosti. U samoupravnoj demokraciji naglasak je na interesu radničke klase, a u inačicama liberalne demokracije prednost imaju “sociologizirani” interesi, koji dolaze iz onoga što Rancière zove “redistribucija osjetilnog”. Treće, obje vrste demokracije zapravo nastoje rastvoriti političko u društvenom. Autor teksta tvrdi da je aktualna vrsta liberalne demokracije zapravo postdemokracija koja, kako pokazuju tekstovi u Političkoj misli, iako je i sama problem, i dalje zapravo brani važeći liberalni konsenzus. Taj se konsenzus, kao puno pragmatičniji i realniji, brani primarno od političke alternative koja bi bila mistično-revolucionarna.

Authors: Lu Xiaowang , Liu Zhengwei , Zhao Xiangping , Xu Weiye , Hou Haijun , Qian Junchao
Published: November 2022

The CdS nanoparticles were constructed on one-dimensional (1D) CeO2 nanorods by two-step hydrothermal method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission election microscopy (TEM), Raman spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and VU-vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS) techniques were used to characterize these CdS/CeO2 nanocomposites. It is concluded that when the molar ratio of CdS and CeO2 was 1:1, the nanocomposites exhibited the best photo-catalytic desulfurization activity, reaching 92 % in 3 hours. Meanwhile, transient photocurrent (PT) measurement, photoluminescence (PL) spectra and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）measurement indicated that the modification of CeO2 nanorods by CdS nanoparticles could sig-nificantly inhibit the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. In addition, the pos-sible mechanism of photocatalytic oxidation desulfurization of the nanocomposites was proposed. This study may provide an effective CeO2-based photocatalysts for photocatalytic desulfurization applications.

Increased Resting-State Positron Emission Tomography Activity After Cochlear Implantation in Adult Deafened Cats
Authors: Park Min-Hyun , Kim Jin Su , Lee Seonhwa , Kim Doo Hee , Oh Seung Ha
Published: November 2022

Objectives. Cochlear implants are widely used for hearing rehabilitation in patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss. However, Cochlear implants have variable results, and central neural plasticity is considered to be a reason for this variability. We hypothesized that resting-state cortical networks play a role in conditions of profound hearing loss and are affected by cochlear implants. To investigate the resting-state neuronal networks after cochlear implantation, we acquired 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) images in experimental animals.Methods. Eight adult domestic cats were enrolled in this study. The hearing threshold of the animals was within the normal range, as measured by auditory evoked potential. They were divided into control (n=4) and hearing loss (n=4) groups. Hearing loss was induced by co-administration of ethacrynic acid and kanamycin. FDG-PET was performed in a normal hearing state and 4 and 11 months after the deafening procedure. Cochlear implantation was performed in the right ear, and electrical cochlear stimulation was performed for 7 months (from 4 to 11 months after the deafening procedure). PET images were compared between the two groups at the three time points.Results. Four months after hearing loss, the auditory cortical area’s activity decreased, and activity in the associated visual area increased. After 7 months of cochlear stimulation, the superior marginal gyrus and cingulate gyrus, which are components of the default mode network, showed hypermetabolism. The inferior colliculi showed hypometabolism.Conclusion. Resting-state cortical activity in the default mode network components was elevated after cochlear stimulation. This suggests that the animals’ awareness level was elevated after hearing restoration by the cochlear implantation.

Published: November 2022

Na era da crise climática, as cidades vêm ganhando destaque como centros de efetivação de medidas de mitigação e adaptação. Neste sentido, muito é falado acerca de qual modelo de cidade pode aproveitar melhor as oportunidades urbanas para o enfrentamento do grande desafio climático. Entre estes modelos, o das smart cities é um dos mais citados, sofrendo, também, várias críticas. Assim, o presente artigo pretende debater quais as prováveis vantagens e tensões da adoção deste modelo de cidade ideal para o enfrentamento das mudanças climáticas no Brasil, um país de urbanização desigual e excludente, bastante exposto a riscos climáticos. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, bibliográfica e exploratória, utilizando-se de análise documental, legislativa e dados secundários. Foram encontradas várias vantagens para a utilização do referido modelo, como economia energética, aproximação de atores sociais, melhoria de infraestrutura, entre outros. Da mesma forma, essas vantagens também apresentam desafios, como a geração de e-waste, aumento da desigualdade socioespacial, exclusão de grupos vulneráveis do processo participativo, etc., fatores que, além de ofenderem inúmeras normas jurídicas, prejudicam o bem-estar urbano. Nestes termos, o Poder Público deve buscar o uso ponderado do modelo das smart cities, sempre tendo por foco as pessoas e a sanidade ambiental.

Algılan Örgütsel Dışlanmanın Çalışan Sesliliğine ve İş Akış Deneyimine Etkisi
Authors: KARACA Nuri , AKSOY Ali
Published: November 2022

Globalleşen rekabet ortamı örgütlerin rekabet gücünde sahip oldukları insan sermayesinin belirleyici bir faktör haline gelmesine neden olmuştur. Örgüt içerisindeki çeşitli sosyal ilişkiler bu sermayeyi olumlu veya olumsuz olarak etkileyebilmektedir. Çalışanların bulundukları örgütte diğerleri tarafından yok sayılması, görmezden gelinmesi, değersiz hissettirilmesi; yaptıkları işten zevk alamamalarına, örgüt için yararlı, yenilikçi fikir ve görüşleri dile getirmemelerine neden olabilmektedir. Buradan hareketle çalışmamız örgütsel dışlanmanın, çalışan sesliliğine ve iş akış deneyimine etkisini konu almıştır. Literatür taramasının yapıldığı dönemde örgütsel dışlanmasının çalışan sesliliğine etkisi yabancı yazında araştırılmışken, yerli yazında herhangi bir çalışmaya rastlanılmamıştır. Örgütsel dışlanmanın iş akış deneyimine etkisini konu alan bir çalışmaya ise hem yerli hem de yabancı yazında rastlanılmamıştır. Bu açıdan çalışmanın keşifsel ve öncül bir özellik taşıdığı düşünülmektedir. Araştırmanın evreni olarak cam sektöründe faaliyet gösteren bir firmanın mavi yakalı 200 çalışanı seçilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, algılanan örgütsel dışlanmanın, çalışan sesliliğini ve iş akış deneyimini negatif yönde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Aynı zamanda örgütsel dışlanmanın, iş akış deneyiminin işten zevk alma boyutunu negatif yönde etkilediği de tespit edilmiştir. Diğer taraftan algılanan örgütsel dışlanma ile iş akış deneyiminin kendini işine verme ve içsel motivasyon boyutları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilememiştir.
Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Techniques in Medical Tourism Studies: A Systematic Review
Authors: ARSLAN Dilara , SEVİM Ekrem
Published: November 2022

Medical tourism is in an increasing trend depending on many factors. The use of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods in the selection of the optimal situation rationalizes and facilitates the decision process. The aim of the study is to examine the studies in which multi-criteria decision-making techniques are used in medical tourism. Systematic review method is chosen to carry out the research. Articles which are published in English and Turkish languages between 2011- 2021, in Web of Science, Scopus and Science Direct databases are reviewed and examined. During the scanning process, 25 articles (out of 4331) are included in the study. Most of them were published in 2020 (28%), conducted in Turkey (36%), and used only one single MCDM method in their processes (72%). In addition, it is observed that most of the articles prefer to use AHP method (60%) and only 7 of the included articles proceed their studies by adopting fuzzy logic (28%). MCDM methods are widely used in medical tourism studies. It is suggested that MCDM methods should be used considering the characteristics of the method and the purpose of the study and integrated into the processes of fuzzy logic.
Microplásticos en sedimentos fluviales en dos quebradas aledañas al centro poblado de Madeán, distrito de Madeán, Provincia de Yauyos, Región Lima, Perú

Published: November 2022

Los microplásticos (MPs) están omnipresentes en el ambiente, por ejemplo, las quebradas intermitentes aledañas al centro poblado de Madeán son usadas como botaderos, en el cual hay presencia de plásticos y por ende la probabilidad de encontrar MPs. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la abundancia, tipos y características (tamaño, morfología y color) de MPs en sedimentos superficiales en dos quebradas. Se recolectaron muestras de sedimento superficial en las dos quebradas: quebrada Ishoj (11 sitios de muestreo) y Uyru Rume (8 sitios de muestreo), se realizó la separación por densidad mediante el uso de solución salina de alta densidad (cloruro de cinc, ZnCl2) con densidad 1,7 Kg/L para separar los MPs del sedimento. Se recuperó los MPs mayores a 6 µm (tamaño de poro del filtro usado en filtración con bomba de vacío). La abundancia de MPs osciló en el rango 0 - 2216 ítems/Kg (quebrada Ishoj) y 0 - 6383 ítems/Kg (quebrada Uyru Rume). En ambas quebradas la máxima concentración de MPs fue en los sitios ubicados cercanos a los botaderos (acopio de residuos sólidos, aguas abajo) y en los sitios ubicados en la zona alta se encontró el mínimo valor. El tamaño, morfología y color predominante en ambas quebradas fueron menores a 1 mm, fragmento y transparente, respectivamente. No se encontró MPs en forma de pellet. El PP (polipropileno) fue el MPs predominante en el análisis Raman. Las quebradas con botaderos fueron zonas con altas concentraciones de MPs. Todos los MPs fueron secundarios. Este es uno de los primeros estudios que muestra la contaminación por MPs en quebradas.
