Oposición, asociación y reformismo: la acción colectiva de los médicos en Colombia (1990-2015)
Authors: Lenis Gómez Mauricio
Published: October 2017

En este trabajo se analizan los cambios que se presentaron en el ejercicio de la profesión médica y en sus condiciones laborales como resultado de un conjunto de transformaciones sociales (en el trabajo), científicas (en la profesión) y legales (reformas estructurales al sistema de salud y a la regulación laboral); así como las principales acciones colectivas que desarrolló una parte considerable del gremio médico en Colombia para enfrentar esos cambios, entre 1990 y el 2015. Se utilizan dos perspectivas teóricas: primero, el enfoque de la cultura laboral que considera la relación entre trabajo y cultura como un proceso en el que los agentes actualizan su cultura en contextos y realidades de poder específicos, en medio de procesos de conflictos y negociaciones que ocurren en las interacciones de los sujetos. Segundo, la teoría de la acción colectiva y su enfoque de contienda política, entendida como la interacción pública y colectiva entre diferentes actores, en una relación de conflicto, en la que el gobierno es una de las partes. Los resultados de la contienda afectan los intereses de una de las partes, según las reivindicaciones que logren imponerse. Tres momentos caracterizaron las acciones colectivas de los médicos: las protestas sociales en oposición a las reformas a la salud y para reivindicar sus derechos laborales; la asociación para buscar la unidad del gremio médico y tener un solo interlocutor ante el Gobierno; y la utilización del derecho como un recurso para promover modificaciones en la regulación del sistema de salud y de la práctica médica. A través de sus acciones colectivas, un sector del gremio médico se situó como un actor político emergente que, al tiempo que luchó por sus intereses, también participó como protagonista clave en la configuración del campo de la salud en Colombia en el contexto de las reformas al sistema de salud. Así mismo, a través de aquellas, los médicos lograron resistir, moldear o filtrar los efectos de los cambios en su cultura laboral.

Abstract:

Introduction, aim and method: At the 1st Department of Paediatrics, Semmelweis University – the largest center for treating children with chronic kidney disease in Hungary – peritoneal dialysis has a leading role. Between 2010–2017, while being part of the International Pediatric Dialysis Network, we collected and analyzed our data in a prospective study. Beside our patients’ basic data, we registered medication statistics, treatment- and laboratory results every 6 months. Results: During this period we had 39 patients on peritoneal dialysis, the average age of dialysis-initiation was 9.3 ± 6.6 years, with 1.3 ± 1.3 years spent on dialysis. The most common causes of ESRD were glomerulopathies and renal-/urinary malformations. A high rate of comorbidities was found, and in 13 cases complex syndromes. Many patients’ height- and BMI SDS values differed from the normal for their age. Average glucose-monohydrate concentration was 1.6 ± 0.2%. During our investigation we used lactate-based, acidic or neutral (balanced) dialysates. Between 2010–2017 we diagnosed peritonitis in 18 of our cases. The patients were hospitalized average 70.5 ± 97.7 days. There were differences from the normal range for age in PTH- and phosphate values. Drug-statistics met the requirements of recommendations, though some medications are not available for children in Hungary. The short time spent on dialysis is due to fast- and also living-donor transplantations and efficient management of the transplantation list. The high rates of special diseases and comorbidities are due to being a tertiary referral center. Conclusion: Our practice is suitable for the international guidelines, any differences are results of individual considerations. Being a part of the Registry should be maintained.

OSCEs are outdated: clinical skills assessment should be centred around workplace-based assessments (WPBAS) to put the ‘art’ back into medicine
Authors: Khan Hamed
Published: October 2017

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. OSCEs have gradually replaced 'long cases' as the mainstay of undergraduate clinical skills assessment because of their objectivity, consistency and reliability. But the aspects of OSCEs which make them so reliable increasingly encourage students to prepare strategically, who often adopt a robotic 'tickbox' approach, rather than use OSCEs as a tool to learn clinical skills for safe competent real-life practice.Thus, whilst OSCEs facilitate technical competence, they do not prepare students for the unique nuances that make medicine an 'art' as well as a science.In pursuit of consistency and reliability, we are sacrificing validity and not preparing future doctors for the innate nuances and variability that make medicine so unique- and which often come as a shock to newly qualified doctors who orientate their undergraduate learning around OSCEs rather than real life.The doctors of the future will need to be adaptable and be able to vary their practice depending on the clinical and biopsychosocial context much more so than before. To drive their learning accordingly, we need a paradigm shift in medical education and assessment. WPBAs should now take centre‐stage in undergraduate clinical assessment, with OSCEs significantly scaled back.
Voices Unheard: Exploring the Caregiver Experience for Caregivers of Emerging Adults with Mental Illness
Authors: Miller Kristina , Sukhera Javeed , Lynch Jill , Wardrop Nancy
Published: October 2017

The purpose of this study was to obtain perspectives from caregivers of emerging adults (ages 16–25) who were accessing mental health care services. Using constructivist grounded theory, nine caregivers participated in focus groups or individual interviews. Results suggest that caregivers' experiences centered on three areas: the emotions that they experienced (having frustration, feeling burdened, not being helped, and perceiving a lack of options), the actions that they took in their caregiver role (care facilitation and advocacy), and the external forces that perpetuated negative emotions and adversely impacted caregiver ability to facilitate and advocate (crisis-driven system, wait times, and substance misuse). Findings illustrate the impact of external forces on caregiver feelings and actions, reflecting a system that perpetuates the cycle of wait times and helplessness.
How Nant-y-Gro dam helped the Dambusters
Authors: Hughes Andy
Published: October 2017

The following is an account of an unexpected site visit by the author to Nant-y-Gro dam. This masonry dam in the Elan Valley was built in the late 1800s, to supply water to the worker's village during construction of the larger Elan Valley dams. In 1942, the dam was used by the British government, under the supervision of Barnes Wallis, to carry out early experiments during the development of the ‘bouncing bombs’ used for the Dambuster raids in the Ruhr Valley in Germany.
Non-linear elastic model for MSW considering dilatancy effect
Authors: Ke Han , Chen Yun-Min , Dong Ding , Guo Cheng , Feng Shi-Jin
Published: October 2017

Study of the stress–strain behaviour of municipal solid waste (MSW) is important in landfill design and management. Non-linear elastic constitutive models are usually in a simple form and convenient in engineering applications; however, most existing non-linear elastic models do not adequately consider the dilatancy behaviour, which has a significant influence on the strength and deformation behaviours of MSW. In this paper, a non-linear elastic model for the prediction of stress–strain behaviour of MSW is proposed based on the results of consolidated drained triaxial compression tests. The influence of dilatancy behaviour is identified and highlighted. The generalised shear stress can be normalised well by dividing the shear stress by the power function of the mean normal stress. Total expressions of normalised volumetric strain and generalised shear strain were established, and the dilatancy modulus and hardening modulus of the proposed model were obtained. The proposed model was used to simulate test results obtained from both published studies and the authors’ laboratory testing. The simulation results were in good agreement with the experimental values in general, although deviations were observed in the simulations of volumetric strain or shear stress for the high-dispersion characteristics of MSW.

Az önértékelés szerepe gyakorló pedagógusok szakmai önismeretének alakulásában
Authors: Zagyváné Szűcs Ida
Published: October 2017

The main conception of the Teachers’ Professional Career is the reflective teacher who is able to set goals as far as his/her professional development is concerned on the basis of his/her professional self-knowledge and reliable self-assessment. Reflection, Self-reflection and Self-assessment contribute to teachers’ adaptation, meeting challenges successfully along their professional career. Are Hungarian teachers aware of the idea of self-assessment? Do they ever assess themselves, if so, how does it contribute to their professional development? The empirical study to answer these questions makes us draw the conclusion, although self-assessment is a new pedagogical term for the Hungarian teachers, they guide their own professional development consciously by its extensive use.

Several ICT development projects took place in Hungary during the last three and a half decades, financed either by govermental (for example Sulinet, TÁMOP, HEFOP, TIOP) or other sources (Phare, Soros Foundation Public Education Development Programme etc.). The task which we have set ourselves in this paper is to present this expansion in chronological order. We hope that data collected by our research team and presented here provides a starting point for further research and discussion.
International Tax Avoidance and Evasion with Special Reference to India
Authors: Sury M. M.
Published: October 2017

International tax avoidance and evasion is a serious problem in developing countries where the tax systems are still evolving. While it is true that international business operations are exposed to the risk of being subject to double taxation, such activities also provide various opportunities for tax avoidance and evasion. This paper analyses at the various methods adopted for international tax evasion and avoidance such as tax treaties, tax havens, and transfer pricing. It also examines the general causes of this evasion along with the detrimental impact that it has on the economy. In addition, it discusses the various estimates of tax evasion in India from time to time. While examining the history of taxation law amendments in India, it is seen that it is essentially a history of plugging loopholes, as and when discovered, to prevent leakages of revenue rather than making structural changes in the taxation system to strike at the root cause of the problem. India needs tougher laws and stricter enforcement of existing provisions to deal with the root causes of international tax evasion and avoidance.
Centre-State Financial Relations: A Study on the Role of Finance Commission
Authors: Bhasin Niti
Published: October 2017

A federal economy is usually characterised by the emergence of imbalances between functional responsibilities and financial resources of different tiers of government. Vertical imbalances in terms of resources and expenditure responsibilities emerge between different levels of government calling for transfer of resources from the Centre to the States. Thus, intergovernmental transfers are an inherent part of a multi-level fiscal system. In India, Finance Commission constitutes an important channel of Central transfers to the states. This paper looks at the role of Finance Commission regarding the devolution of taxes between the Center and the States from the divisible pool. In particular, the paper focuses on the Fourteenth Finance Commission FFC that has made far-reaching changes in tax devolution that will move the country towards greater cooperative as well as competitive federalism.

Published: October 2017

When providing medical assistance either in terms of the medical institution or outside, there are always certain risks posing a threat to the patients and personnel health. According to the patients opinions, those risks are linked closely to medical practitioners professionalism level, their compliance with disinfection and sterilization regimes, proper hands decontamination, wearing gloves, availability of the disposable sterile equipment / instruments. Other studies found evidence of it in terms of health care setting and, specifically, indicate violation of the hospital hygiene and epidemiology standards, disinfection being carried out manually using the working disinfectant solutions, “human factor” demonstrating through non-compliance with the disinfectant application regimes. Only about one-third of the medical workers showed satisfactory knowledge on hand hygiene. All these problems mentioned and others require to explore conceptual framework of the educational program “Safe hospital environment” which is taught to the medical students and are supposed to be reviewed annually and updated accordingly, taking into account the latest scientific achievements. This article provides an overview of a new concept of “Safe hospital environment” as the educational module, included in the nursing discipline “Training for developing Basic Professional Skills, including Basic Skills in Scientific Research”. Discipline is studied by the first level medical students.

Uma análise comparativa entre Foucault e Elias: a questão da emergência da prisão e a permanência do fervor punitivo passional
Authors: Cordeiro Veridiana Domingos
Published: October 2017

A hegemonia da prisão como medida punitiva universal em contraposição à anterior publicização da pena é um fato histórico que marcou a passagem para a modernidade. A partir desse quadro paradoxal que permaneceu na sociedade moderna após o surgimento da prisão, busca-se, neste artigo, expor explicações, de fundo sociológico, acerca da passagem de uma forma pública de punição para uma encapsulada e distante da sociedade, a partir de dois autores que parecem se contrapor, tanto teoricamente, quanto metodologicamente: o sociólogo alemão Norbert Elias e o filósofo francês Michel Foucault. Ambos chegam por vias distintas a explicações sobre esse quadro paradoxal, embora ainda guardem alguns pontos de contato. Por fim, sinalizamos como esse diagnóstico já estava, de alguma forma, anos antes, presente nos escritos durkheiminianos. Essa pluralidade de explicações, advindas de tradições teóricas distintas, acerca de um mesmo fenômeno, traz a evidência de que a permanência da prisão e seu desajuste com a sociedade contemporânea é um fenômeno social objetivo, independentemente de tal ou qual abordagem sociológica.

Intervenção urbana não urbanística: o teatro de rua e demais personagens que tematizam o urbano na praça Santos Andrade localizada em Curitiba
Authors: Sugayama Soraya
Published: October 2017

Através deste artigo pretendemos lançar um olhar sobre as personagens que, assim como arquitetos e engenheiros, também abordam a cidade como tema e atuam na mesma, com a diferença de que não constroem planejadamente infraestruturas urbanas, mas sim, compõem a paisagem urbana como um acontecimento atrativo e inesperado, através de sua arquitetura efêmera e imaginativa. Por meio do teatro de rua o presente artigo reflete sobre a relação entre os aparentemente não-eruditos e a cidade, pensando no conceito de lugar e espaço ligado à urbanidade, mais precisamente ao entorno do prédio histórico da Universidade Federal do Paraná, no centro da cidade de Curitiba e aborda brevemente os subconceitos derivados da cultura: cultura popular e cultura erudita.

Os caminhos das bulhas capixabas: a sociabilidade nas ruas, 1850-1872
Authors: Bastos Fabíola Martins
Published: October 2017

Propõe-se neste texto analisar as sociabilidades em Vitória/ES, entre os anos de 1850-1872. Viver juntos no século XIX significava conviver estreitamente: as portas das casas permaneciam quase sempre abertas para as ruas; a circulação, pelas vizinhanças, de diversas personagens que compunham uma espécie de vida da rua (inspetores de quarteirão, transeuntes, ambulantes, lavadeiras e janeleiras – mulheres nas janelas à espera de um murmurinho) dava ritmo ao cotidiano desses caminhos e também traziam notícias sobre as bulhas. Nesse sentido, o artigo investiga as sociabilidades por uma via particular: a dos conflitos. Acredita-se que eles não tinham somente um aspecto de quebra de equilíbrio, mas guardavam também uma perspectiva de ajustamento.
Sociabilidades numa pequena cidade portuária do sudoeste africano (1884-1914)
Authors: Correa Silvio Marcus de Souza
Published: October 2017

Algumas formas de sociabilidade da Europa fin-de-siècletiveram suas similares nas colônias do além-mar. Durante o colonialismo alemão na África, a vida associativa garantiu a reprodução das sociabilidades em diferentes núcleos coloniais, principalmente cidades portuárias. Lüderitzbucht foi o primeiro porto da colônia alemã do sudoeste africano (atual Namíbia) e, por conseguinte, um dos primeiros lugares na África de emulação das sociabilidades urbanas do Segundo Império Alemão (1871-1918). A partir da análise de jornais da imprensa colonial em língua alemã, o presente artigo trata das sociabilidades numa pequena cidade portuária do sudoeste africano desde a sua incorporação ao império alemão em 1884 até a ocupação britânica em 1914.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa, que por via de entrevista e de experimentação, intenciona tomar contrações e dilatações do tempo, em suas relações com o modo como vivemos aquilo que se convencionou chamar de tempo no contemporâneo, na cidade. Em contraposição, há uma tentativa de experimentar um tempo, que precisamente forja desvios e desalinhos, em meio aos quais, delineia-se conceitualmente um tempo rizomático. Para tal, a pesquisa primou pela processualidade em seus fazeres, forjando seus aliados pela conversa, acompanhando olhares da cidade de Vitória (Espírito Santo) em quatorze de seus habitantes, que dialogam com os modos de habitar a cidade e sua relação com uma produção de subjetividade. Para tanto, nas trilhas, especialmente, de Pélbart, Deleuze e Foucault encontrou-se seus intercessores.

Published: October 2017

Proponho neste artigo explorar as múltiplas linguagens que norteiam as formas do pensamento político do ex-prefeito da cidade de São Paulo o eng-arquiteto Francisco Prestes Maia.Como urbanista e como homem público Prestes Maia ao longo de sua trajetória se preocupou em construir a sua imagem na esfera pública como técnico,  mostrando-se capaz de  solucionar os problemas da cidade e ainda como o político honesto “avesso a política e aos políticos partidários”.Nesse percurso recupero seus desenhos, planos urbanísticos, relatórios de prefeito, artigos escritos para revistas especializadas, em jornais, comícios, programas de governo e nas propagandas como candidato a prefeito, com o intuito de desvendar os limites, conflitos e os paradoxos de sua trajetória como urbanista e  político. Ainda destaco alguns aspectos que demarcaram a relação dos conceitos políticos e filosóficos do urbanismo com a política do Estado Novo e seus desdobramentos na década de 1960.

Habitação e grandes empreendimentos: marcos da expansão urbana de Vitória na década de 1960
Authors: Mendonca Eneida Maria Souza
Published: October 2017

O artigo aborda a expansão urbana e a valorização do solo, tendo como foco a política habitacional e a instalação de empreendimentos de grande porte em Vitória. São examinados: a história da ocupação, a base econômica e a evolução da localização de conjuntos habitacionais e de grandes empreendimentos no território. Nas primeiras seis décadas do século XX, Vitória alcançou hegemonia política na hierarquia estadual. A década de 1960 tornou-se um marco na realidade econômica do estado, que passou de agrícola para industrial, e no processo de urbanização da capital, que assumiu estrutura metropolitana. O estudo demonstrou, por um lado, o distanciamento social das políticas empreendidas, e por outro lado, a inserção do Espírito Santo em circuito econômico mais amplo, acompanhando a dinâmica nacional e internacional.

Published: October 2017

A formação da história urbana na América Latina recebeu contribuições das mais diversas origens com o passar do tempo, respondendo tanto a condicionantes externas a seus limites – quando se relaciona aos movimentos geralmente iniciados na Europa ou, mais recentemente, nos Estados Unidos – como a fatores internos, que vão desde a estrutura herdada do período pré-colombiano até as narrativas contemporâneas que tentam se desvincular de uma história oficial, rompendo com a noção de influência e buscando uma história própria. Este trabalho analisa três obras situadas em diferentes tempos e espaços, representando distintos modos de pensar a história urbana na América Latina, o que permite uma visão plural dos acontecimentos históricos que passam a ser ressignificados após uma nova visão de conjunto.
Lecciones de la vivienda para construir ciudad: megaformas para la remodelación del centro de Santiago de Chile
Authors: Rigotti Ana Maria
Published: October 2017

Las megaformas fueron un intento mayor, desde la Arquitectura, para decir algo significativo sobre la dimensión construida de la ciudad apoyándose en la densidad, la superposición de funciones, la verticalización del suelo urbano y la ampliación de las posibilidades de participación y cambio. Las tres propuestas argentinas al concurso de la Remodelación de un área del Centro de Santiago de Chile (1972) permiten reconstruir los contornos de un debate sobre las megaformas que atravesó los países del Cono Sur. Recursos madurados en torno a la vivienda (planta libre, superposición de niveles, drástica autonomía en la envolvente respecto a la estructura, flexibilidad como indeterminación) fueron recuperados para proponer un tejido urbano alternativo al damero colonial que acompañara un camino pacífico al socialismo.

Published: October 2017

From the aerial parts of Salvia ballotiflora, eleven diterpenoids were isolated, among them, four icetexanes, and one abietane (1–5), which are first reported. Their structures were established by spectroscopic means, mainly 1H and 13C NMR, including 1D and 2D homo- and hetero-nuclear experiments. Most of the isolated diterpenoids were tested for their antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, and radical scavenging activities using the sulforhodamine B assay on six cancer cell lines, the TPA induced ear edema test in mice, and the reduction of the DPPH assay, respectively. Some diterpenoids showed anti-proliferative activity, these being icetexanes 6 and 3, which were the most active with IC50 (µM) = 0.27 ± 0.08 and 1.40 ± 0.03, respectively, for U251 (human glioblastoma) and IC50 (µM) = 0.0.46 ± 0.05, and 0.82 ± 0.06 for SKLU-1 (human lung adenocarcinoma), when compared with adriamycin (IC50 (µM) = 0.08 ± 0.003, and 0.05 ± 0.003, as the positive control, respectively. Compounds 3 and 10 showed significant reduction of the induced ear edema of 37.4 ± 2.8 and 25.4 ± 3.0% (at 1.0 µmol/ear), respectively. Compound 4 was the sole active diterpenoid in the antioxidant assay (IC50 = 98. 4 ± 3.3), using α-tocopherol as positive control, IC50 (µM) = 31.7 ± 1.04. The diterpenoid profile found is of chemotaxonomic relevance and reinforces the evolutionary link of S. ballotiflora with other members of the section Tomentellae.
Monitoring of Structures by a Laser Pointer: Dynamic Measurement of Displacements of a Bridge
Authors: Artese Serena , Achilli Vladimiro , Zinno Raffaele
Published: October 2017

Vertical displacements are among the most important technical parameters to evaluate the health status of a bridge structure and to verify its bearing capacity. Several methods, both conventional and innovative, are used for structural displacement monitoring; no one of these does allow, at the same time, precision, automation, long term and dynamic monitoring without using high cost instrumentation. The proposed system makes use of a common laser pointer and image processing. The measurement of the lowering is obtained by analyzing the single frames of a HD video of the laser beam imprint projected on a flat target. For the processing of images, a code was developed in Matlab® that provides the instantaneous displacement of a bridge, charged by a mobile load. An important feature is the synchronization of the load positioning, obtained by GNSS receiver or by a video. After the calibration procedures, a test was carried out during the movements of a heavy truck maneuvering on a bridge. Data acquisition synchronization allowed to relate the position of the truck on the deck to the displacements. The results show high accuracy and demonstrate that the method is suitable for dynamic load tests, ever more adopted for the bridge controls and monitoring.

Multi-step ahead streamflow forecasting is of practical interest for the operation of hydropower reservoirs. We provide generalized results on the error evolution in multi-step ahead forecasting by conducting several large-scale experiments based on simulations. We also present a multiple-case study using monthly time series of streamflow. Our findings suggest that some forecasting methods are more useful than others. However, the errors computed at each time step of a forecast horizon within a specific case study strongly depend on the case examined and can be either small or large, regardless of the forecasting method used and the time step of interest.

1) Background: Keloids occur after the failure during the wound-healing process, persist the inflammation and are refractory to various treatments. The pathogenesis of keloids is still unclear. We previously analyzed the gene expression profiles in keloid tissue using microarray and Northern blot analysis and found that HtrA1 was markedly upregulated in the keloid lesions. HtrA1 is a member of the HtrA family of serine protease, has been suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of various diseases including age-related macular degeneration and osteoarthritis by modulating proteins in extracellular matrix or cell surface. We focused on HtrA1, analyzed the localization and the role in keloid pathogenesis. 2) Methods: Twenty seven keloid patients and seven unrelated patients were enrolled in this study. We performed in situ hybridization analysis, immunohistochemical analysis, western blot analysis and cell proliferation assay. 3) Results: First, the fibroblast-like cells expressed HtrA1 higher in the active keloid lesions than in the surrounding lesions in situ hybridization. Second, the proportion of HtrA1-positive cells in keloid was higher than that of in normal skin significantly in immunohistochemical analysis. Third, HtrA1 protein was up-regulated, relative to normal skin tissue samples in western blot analysis. Finally, silencing of HtrA1 gene expression suppressed the cell proliferation significantly. 4) Conclusion: HtrA1 was highly expressed in keloid tissues and the suppression of HtrA1 gene inhibited the proliferation of keloid-derived fibroblasts. HtrA1 may promote keloid development through accelerating cell proliferation and remodeling keloid-specific extracellular matrix or cell surface molecules. HtrA1 is suggested to have an important role in keloid pathogenesis.

We discuss the renormalization of the polarizability of a nanoparticle in the presence of either (i) a continuous graphene sheet or (ii) a plasmonic graphene grating, taking into account retardation effects. Our analysis demonstrates that the excitation of surface plasmon-polaritons in graphene produces a large enhancement of the real and imaginary parts of the renormalized polarizability. We show that the imaginary part can be changed by a factor of up to 100 relatively to its value in the absence of graphene. We also show that the resonance in the case of the grating is narrower than in the continuous sheet. In the case of the grating it is shown that the resonance can be tuned by changing the grating geometric parameters.

Published: October 2017

The formation of solid solution series Cs1-xMxGaQ2-mC64 (M = K, Rb; Q = S, Se; x = 0–1) was studied by X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic methods, revealing a complete miscibility of CsGaQ2-mC64 with RbGaQ2 and KGaSe2, and a large miscibility gap with KGaS2. All solid solution members exhibit similar Raman spectra, indicating the covalent Ga-Q bonding character. The similar optical band gaps likewise further contribute to this conclusion. Up to a degree of substitution, these solid solutions undergo a phase transition similar to CsGaQ2-mC64. The influence of the substitution parameter x on phase transition process was investigated in situ using high-temperature X-ray powder diffraction experiments. Phase-pure solid solutions of the high-temperature polymorphs Cs1-xMxGaQ2-mC16 were obtained up to xmax(K) = 0.1 and xmax(Rb) = 0.3. The crystal structures of these new CsGaQ2-mC16 analogous high-temperature phases were refined from synchrotron diffraction data by Rietveld-refinement.
Deskripsi perkembangan Lembaga Perkreditan di Pedesaan Jawa Timur

Indonesian
Deregulasi bank telah berhasil meningkatkan jumlah lembaga perbankan, namun peningkatan jumlah lembaga tersebut belum mampu meningkatkan proporsi kredit pada sektor pertanian. Jumlah kredit untuk sektor pertanian relatif tetap yaitu sekitar 8 persen dari seluruh kredit yang tersalur. Disisi lain perkembangan pinjaman, simpanan masyarakat serta nisbah pinjaman terhadap masyarakat pada BRI Udes, LDKP dan bank pasar dalam kurun waktu terakhir menunjukkan adanya gejala bahwa arus dana dari pedesaan lebih besar daripada kredit yang mengalir ke pedesaan. Sementara itu dilihat dari segi penyebaran Bank Perkreditan Rakyat (BPR) belum sepenuhnya menyentuh pedesaan, demikian pula dari aspek pengumpulan serta penyaluran melalui kredit tampak pernan BPR masih relatif kecil bila dibandingkan dengan lembaga perkreditan lainnya.
Kajian aspek produksi dan pemasaran kedelai di Jawa Tengah: Studi kasus di Kabupaten Wonogiri
Authors: Saptana NFN

Indonesian
Kedelai memegang posisi strategis dalam seluruh kebijaksanaan pangan nasional karena perannya yang sangat penting dalam menu pangan penduduk dan dalam penyediaan kesempatan kerja. Bahan makanan dari kedelai ini cukup potensial karena selain harganya murah, juga mengandung nilai gizi yang tinggi (16 - 20 persen lemak, 35 - 45 persen protein, 25 persen karbohidrat, serta mengandung vitamin A, B1 dan B2). Dilihat sumbangannya terhadap konsumsi masyarakat (terutama protein dan kalori) kedelai memberikan andil 61 persen protein dan 28 persen kalori dari semua kacang-kacangan yang dikonsumsi penduduk  Indonesia (BPS, 1985). Eksistensi perkedelaian di Indonesia menjadi semakin penting karena laju permintaan terhadap kedelai yang tinggi setiap tahun dan melebihi laju peningkatan produksi. Kendala pengembangan aspek produksi yang dihadapi petani diantaranya adalah rendahnya persepsi dan tingkat adopsi beberapa komponen teknologi seperti benih berlabel, sistem tanam larikan, penggunaan pupuk secara lengkap dan berimbang, dan penyiangan tanaman secara lebih baik. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini di Wonogiri telah dihasilkan suatu paket teknologi budidaya kedelai yang dirancang oleh ESCAP CGPRT yang bekerjasama dengan Balittan Bogor dan Pusat Penelitian Sosial Ekonomi Pertanian. Secara umum aspek pemasaran kedelai berjalan cukup baik yang ditunjukkan oleh pangsa harga yang diterima petani cukup besar (80 - 90 persen) dan tidak ada fluktuasi bulanan yang tajam. Permasalahan yang dihadapi dalam aspek pemasaran adalah rendahnya kualitas kedelai. Pemerintah diharapkan berperan dalam menetapkan harga jual dan beli pedagang besar menurut kualitas dikaitkan dengan penyaluran kedelai impor.

Sifat usaha perikanan tangkap di laut didasarkan kepada adanya tingkat ketergantungan yang tinggi di antara sesama pelakunya, baik antara sesama pekerja di dalam operasi di laut, maupun antara pekerja dan pemilik disebabkan besarnya modal yang terlibat, tingginya resiko di laut, serta tingginya ketidakpastian hasil usaha. Suatu analisis melalui perbandingan tiga jenis alat tangkap dari yang lebih sederhana sampai modern (jenis alat trammel net, payang, dan purse seine), digambarkan bahwa penggunaan tingkat teknologi mengakibatkan perubahan pada pola interaksi sosial. Dengan penggunaan teknologi lebih tinggi ketidakpastian hasil bisa ditekan, sehingga saling tergantung menjadi melemah. Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh sifat komunikasi oleh sifat komunikasi yang semakin kurang terbuka, tidak langsung, serta hubungan yang semakin bersifat impersonal dan birokratis. Penggunaan teknologi modrn juga membawa beberapa perubahan hubungan yang cenderung merugikan buruh nelayan, yaitu jumlah jam kerja yang semakin tinggi tetapi tidak diimbangi dengan tingkat pendapatan yang diperolehnya. Selain itu hubungan patron klien yang melemah antara pemilik usaha dengan buruh nelayan, menyebabkan jaminan subsistensi dan sosial buruh seperti jaminan kerja juga ikut menipis.

English
Sugar deregulation carried out by the government through INPRES No. 5, 1998 has liberated farmers from compulsory of cane planting. Formerly, the input of sugar raw materials to the factory was assured by the compulsory cane rotation planting by the farmers. Following deregulation, the compulsory planting was abolished. To fulfill the raw material needs, the factory was urged to offer more advantageous sharing system pattern and price level to the farmers. Alternatively that could be done is through sugar agribusiness unit development with vertical coordination where sugar factory as the initiator, motivator and coordinator. By doing so, the role of the government is limited on the effort of preventing a monopsonistic practices that might take place.

Deregulasi gula yang dilakukan pemerintah melalui Inpres No. 5 tahun 1998 telah membebaskan petani dari kewajiban menanam tebu. Bila sebelum deregulasi pasokan bahan baku pabrik gula dijamin melalui kewajiban penanaman tebu secara bergilir oleh petani, maka setelah adanya deregulasi kewajiban tersebut di hapuskan. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan bahan bakunya, pabrik gula saat ini dituntut menawarkan pola bagi hasil dan tingkat harga yang lebih menguntungkan petani di bandingkan pengusahaan tanaman pangan. Alternatif yang dapat ditempuh adalah pengembangan Unit Agribisnis Gula (UAG) dengan pola koordinasi vertikal, di mana pabrik gula bertindak sebagai inisiator, motifator dan koordinator. Di sini peran pemerintah dibatasi pada upaya untuk mencegah praktek-praktek monopsonistik yang mungkin terjadi
