Entre la filosofía y la poesía:
Authors: Stuven Vattier María Teresa
Published: January 2021

The core of Martin Heidegger's thought is constituted by the problem of being. The philosopher considers this issue central, since previous philosophy had erroneously posed the question about being and, therefore, it had not been able to be resolved correctly. His main work, Being and Time (1927), poses this problem in the midst of a Modernity removed from the ontological question. In this work, Heidegger not only addresses the question of Being, but also reflects and analyzes what happened in contemporary man with the forgetfulness of Being. Even though he did not want to make an anthropology, Being and Time is a profound reflection on the man of the twentieth century, overwhelmed by technique and calculating thinking. The philosopher proposes a new way of inhabiting the world, within which the Being has a place. This mode of existence is property or authenticity in the face of impropriety or inauthenticity, ways of being of everyday Dasein.
Since the 30s, Heidegger has a turn in his thinking (Kehre) and reflects on poetry and the Being. This relationship is not only the heritage of philosophers, it is also of poets. There are two main works by Heidegger about poetry: Hölderlin and the essence of poetry, a 1936 writing, and Poetically inhabits man, a 1951 lecture. In this work we will refer to those texts, in which, we think, The proposal of Being and time is expanded with respect to the link between Dasein and Being, now from poetic living versus impoetic living.

Six Hours of Exploratory Improvisation
Authors: Arja Anneli Kastinen
Published: January 2021

Creativity is seen as a fundamental human capacity which also seems to be very sensitive in escaping scientifically controlled conditions. During the last decades, musical improvisation has become a more and more interesting channel for studying the cognitive neuroscience of creativity. On 6 February 2017, I improvised for six hours without a break on eight different kanteles in the Black Box hall of the Musiikkitalo, Helsinki Music Centre. There were EEG caps on me and three listeners, and the data was recorded for about two hours from the beginning of the event.

From the musical perspective, my personal starting point for the six-hour improvisation was to test and experience the reactions of my mind and body to this way of making music in a time scale that was stretched close to the limits of my capacity. My text will look into the project and analyse it solely from my point of view: as a musician researching the process of long-lasting kantele improvisation based on ancient Finnic tradition.

The main questions in my study are: What is happening in the consciousness preceding and during the state of the so-called quiet exaltation? What are the elements or components needed to be able to achieve this kind of mental state? What is the meaning – the importance – of this music to its producer? What would be the relation of the musical elements and automatized finger movements stored in my long-term memory through the years of practise with the consciously invented and unconsciously produced music?
TEXTUAL INTERPRETATION OF THE PROHIBITION OF MAKEUP: RECEPTION AND DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF NUSSA GIRLS TALK
Authors: Salam Rahmatullah
Published: January 2021

This study aims to explain analytically the receptions of the Qur'an in the animated movie, episode Nussa: Girls Talk. A part of the Qur'anic verse from Surat Al-Ahzab: 33 presented in this episode shows that there are makeup rules for women that tend to be understood textually. Based on the categorization of interaction between religious followers and the holy book by Sam D. Gill and Teun A Van Dijk's critical discourse analysis as an analytical tool, the study found that the reception in the episode of Nussa: Girls Talk is both exegetical and informative. The interpretation (tafsir) presented in this episode is textual. The form of textual interpretation was chosen by the producers because of its concise and considered more relevant for children as the main targets/audiences. Besides, the socio-religious background of theproducers of Nussa: Girls Talk is known to have a close relationship with the hijrah movement; an Islamic movement that tends to be fundamentalist. As a results, textual understanding develops and tends to dominate in this animated movie.
UGA SUNDANESE AHMADIYYA: LOCALITY OF MAHDIISM IN WEST JAVA
Authors: Rohmana Jajang A
Published: January 2021

Studies on Ahmadiyah have been very extensive both in their focuses and approaches. However, few scholars consider local culture as an important means of the Ahmadiyya movement. This study focuses on the use of local culture in the form of uga in the Sundanese Ahmadiyya tradition. Uga is an oral tradition of  ancestor mystical prophecy in Sunda on the coming  of an important change in a situation of crisis. This is an ethnographic study of the Sundanese uga among Ahmadiyya followers in Kuningan, Tasikmalaya, and Bandung. The uga of Ahmadiyya is then analyzed using an interpretive approach. This study shows that there are at least six ugas of Ahmadiyya in Bandung, Garut, Singaparna, Tasikmalaya, Ciamis, and Manislor Kuningan. These ugas represent a symbolic meeting point between the expectations of Sundanese on the change of a situation with the messianic beliefs in Ahmadiyya. Ugas can shape the experience, identity and strengthen the roots of mystical ideology of Ahmadiyya in Sundanese people. Hereby, the case of ugaSundanese Ahmadiyya is a strategy of acculturation of local culture which added other categorization  in the context of Ahmadiyya movement in various countries around the world.
KIAI AS AL-QUDWAH AL-KHASANAH: THE ROLE OF KIAI IN SHAPING RELIGIOUS CULTURE IN ISLAMIC EDUCATION INSTITUTION
Authors: Ihsan Ihsan , Umar A.
Published: January 2021

This study aims to describe the role of kyai in creating the religious culture of the santri. How the socialization patterns that exist in an educational institution especially pesantren (Islamic boarding school) can shape the religious culture of the santri, is the main concern of this study. Madrasah Qudsiyyah, one of the Islamic education institutions based on pesantren in Kudus Regency, Central Java, is the object of this study. With a qualitative approach, the data were collected through participant observation and in-depth interviews. They were then analyzed using the theoretical framework of the sociology of knowledge of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckman. The results of this study revealed that kyai (including ustadz) has a central role in shaping the character and religious culture of the santri. Kyai, apart from being an educator, also acts as a guide, uswah hasanah, and guide of the santri. With this role, kyai becomes a kind of role model for santri in terms of the spiritual, moral, intellectual, and social life. From a long time daily interaction process between kyai and santri in the pesantren, finally it becomes habitus in shaping the mindset, character, and religious culture of the santri.

WRITER'S BLOCK PHENOMENA IN IKA NATASSA'S 'THE ARCHITECTURE OF LOVE' METROPOP NOVEL (FENOMENA 'WRITERâ€™S BLOCK' DALAM NOVEL METROPOP 'THE ARCHITECTURE OF LOVE' KARYA IKA NATASSA)
Authors: Intan Tania
Published: January 2021

Writerâ€™s Block is a psychiatric phenomenon experienced by writers in the form of a deadlock when writing because of certain obstacles. This study discusses the writerâ€™s block that the female protagonist experienced in the metropop novel The Architecture of Love by Ika Natassa. Data was collected by the documentation study technique and reviewed with a literary psychology approach. The theoretical foundation used is the theory of Bergler, Singer & Barrios. The research problems formulated are how the writerâ€™s block phenomenon is displayed in the novel The Architecture of Love, and how the narrative elements in the work support the themes presented by the author. The results showed that the writerâ€™s block phenomenon experienced by the main character was especially caused by unhappiness that is manifested in the form of apathy, anger, anxiety, and problems with other people (ex-husband). Because the writerâ€™s block is a psychological symptom, in this novel, the disorder can be overcome with therapy in the form of relaxation and establishing relationships with new people. As a romance-themed novel, the metropolitan novel The Architecture of Love is built by narrative elements that support the writerâ€™s block theme.

Published: January 2021

Changes in the river morphology require knowledge of the suite of drivers that control it, whether natural or human. The study aims to analyze the anthropogenic influences on morphological changes in the Progo River using Google Earth Images. It is essential to know the recent changes in the morphology of the Progo River so that stakeholders can make policies to control human activities that influence the morphology changes of the Progo River. The study area is located in Bantul Regency, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta Province, Java Island, Indonesia. The size of ​​the Progo River watershed is around 17,432 square kilometers. Google Earth Images analysis is carried out to analyze the morphological changes of the Progo River from 2012 to 2019. The result shows that land-use changes due to dam construction affected the sediment supply downstream of the dam. In addition, land-use changes around the Progo River due to the opening of agricultural land and settlement areas had an effect on decreasing the infiltration area, so that the number of trees holding the soil from erosion was reduced, producing more eroded sediment that flowed to the river. Sand mining in the river could cause the deepening of water depths and a decrease in the average height of the riverbed.
Predictors of Diffusing Capacity in Children with Sickle Cell Disease: A Longitudinal Study
Authors: Mondal Pritish , Midya Vishal , Khokhar Arshjot , Sathianathan Shyama , Forno Erick
Published: January 2021

Rationale: Gas exchange abnormalities in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) may
represent cardiopulmonary deterioration. Identifying predictors of these
abnormalities in children with SCD (C-SCD) may help us understand
disease progression and develop informed management decisions.
Objectives: To identify pulmonary function tests (PFT) and biomarkers of
systemic disease severity that are associated with and predict abnormal
carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) in C-SCD. Methods: We obtained
PFT data from 51 C-SCD (115 observations) and 22 controls, and
identified predictors of DLCO for further analyses. We formulated a rank
list of DLCO predictors based on machine learning algorithms (XGBoost)
or linear mixed-effect models and compared estimated DLCO to the
measured values. Finally, we evaluated the association between measured
and estimated DLCO and clinical outcomes, including SCD crises,
pulmonary hypertension, and nocturnal hypoxemia. Results: DLCO and
several PFT indices were diminished in C-SCD compared to controls. Both
statistical approaches ranked FVC%, neutrophils(%), and FEV25%-75%
as the top three predictors of DLCO. XGBoost had superior performance
compared to the linear model. Both measured and estimated DLCO
demonstrated significant association with SCD severity indicators. DLCO
estimated by XGBoost was associated with SCD crises (beta=-0.084
[95%CI -0.134, -0.033]) and with TRJV (beta=-0.009 [-0.017,
-0.001]), but not with nocturnal hypoxia (p=0.121). Conclusions: In
this cohort of C-CSD, DLCO was associated with PFT estimates
representing restrictive lung disease (FVC%), airflow obstruction
(FEV25%-75%), and inflammation (neutrophil%). We were able to use
these indices to estimate DLCO, and show association with disease
outcomes, underscoring the prediction models’ clinical relevance.
Improved reproducing kernel method to solve space-time fractional advection-dispersion equation
Authors: Allahviranloo Tofigh , Sahihi Hussein , Salahshour Soheil , Baleanu D.
Published: January 2021

In this paper, we consider the Space-Time Fractional
Advection-Dispersion equation on a finite domain with variable
coefficients. Fractional Advection- Dispersion equation as a model for
transporting heterogeneous subsurface media as one approach to the
modeling of the generally non-Fickian behavior of transport. We use a
semi-analytical method as Reproducing kernel Method to solve the
Space-Time Fractional Advection-Dispersion equation so that we can get
better approximate solutions than the methods with which this problem
has been solved. The main obstacle to solve this problem is the
existence of a Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process in the general
form of the reproducing kernel method, which is very time-consuming. So,
we introduce the Improved Reproducing Kernel Method, which is a
different implementation for the general form of the reproducing kernel
method. In this method, the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process is
eliminated to significantly reduce the CPU-time. Also, the present
method increases the accuracy of approximate solutions.
Diagnostic Performance of Two-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography for Detection of Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease: A Meta-Analysis.
Authors: Kannan Arun , Singh Jaspreet , Sorrell Vincent , Abidov Aiden
Published: January 2021

Background: Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is a
quantitative myocardial strain imaging technique in evaluating global
and segmental myocardial deformation. The aim of the meta-analysis was
to determine the diagnostic accuracy of STE in the detection of
significant coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients undergoing resting
or stress echocardiography. Methods: We performed a literature search in
PubMed and Medline until March 2020 for studies evaluating the role of
STE in diagnosing CAD. We assessed the diagnostic performance of STE in
detecting CAD by using the pooled estimate of sensitivity, specificity,
likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio and diagnostic accuracy. We
analyzed longitudinal strain data that were reported in resting and
stress echocardiography. Results: A total of 17 studies (n=1762) were
included for the analysis. 12 studies (n=1239) reported global
longitudinal strain (GLS) in resting echocardiography and 5 studies
(n=523) reported GLS in stress echocardiography. Overall, in resting
echocardiography studies, pooled GLS sensitivity and specificity for
predicting obstructive CAD data were calculated to be 79% (95%
confidence interval 74-83%) and 77% (95% confidence interval
72-82%), respectively. The pooled odds ratio was 13.6 (95% confidence
interval 8.7-21.5). When we considered the dobutamine stress
echocardiograms alone, the sensitivity and specificity in predicting
obstructive CAD was 77% (95% confidence interval 59-89%) and 78%
(95% confidence interval 53-92%), respectively. The odds ratio was
12.6 (95% confidence interval 2.7-58.5). Conclusions: In this
meta-analysis of patients with suspected CAD, we found that STE could
effectively detect obstructive CAD with a high diagnostic sensitivity,
specificity and diagnostic accuracy
Allergenic components of the mRNA-1273 vaccine for COVID-19: possible involvement of polyethylene glycol and IgG-mediated complement activation
Authors: Klimek Ludger , Novak Natalija , Cabanillas Beatriz , Jutel Marek , Bousquet Jean , Akdis Cezmi
Published: January 2021

Following the emergency use authorization of the vaccine mRNA-1273 on
18th December 2020 in the US and the vaccine BNT162b2 one week earlier,
two mRNA vaccines are in currently used for the prevention of
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Phase 3 pivotal trials on both
vaccines excluded individuals with a history of allergy to vaccine
components. Immediately after the initiation of vaccination in the
United Kingdom, Canada, and in the US, anaphylactic reactions have been
reported. While the culprit trigger requires investigation, initial
reports suggested the excipient polyethylene glycol 2000 (PEG-2000),
which is contained in both vaccines as PEG-micellar carrier system as
the potential culprit. Surface PEG chains form a hydrate shell to
increase stability and prevent opsonization. Allergic reactions to such
PEG-ylated lipids are rarely IgE-mediated, but may result from
complement activation-related pseudoallergy (CARPA) that has been
described to similar liposomes. In addition, mRNA-1273 also contains
tromethamine (trometamol), which has been reported to cause anaphylaxis
to e.g. gadolinium-based or iodinated contrast media. Skin prick-,
intradermal-, epicutaneous- tests, in vitro sIgE assessment, evaluation
of sIgG/IgM, as well as basophil activation test are in use to
demonstrate allergic reactions to various components of the vaccines.

Post-Covid Tourism, A Consensual Re-Reading of the Economic Outlook Application of the Delphi Method to "Morocco" Destination
Authors: Charrass Abdelmajid , Kamar Fouad , Bahyaoui Salwa
Published: January 2021

The unprecedented health crisis of COVID-19 has deeply affected the tourism industry around the world. As a direct consequence, more than three billion potential tourists have been confined (Donthu & Gustafsson, 2020) and the other actors (hosting companies, restaurateurs, transporters, etc.) are looking to understand the future of this tourist demand and its effects on their tourist destination. They are currently searching for answers to situate themselves between the multitude of potential possibilities and the uncertain and changing perspectives.
Indeed, between adaptation and resilience, it is evident that there is a latent demand for tourism stays, ready to manifest after these long periods of confinement. However, the behavior of this tourist demand remains complex and highly dependent on the health conditions imposed by the pandemic, on the freedom of travel and on the perception of health risks by the key actors of tourist destinations.
In this context, a literature review allows to define three key scenarios for tomorrow's tourism, namely the growth of local tourism or 'domestic tourism' (Blanc, 2020; Donthu & Gustafsson, 2020; Zenker & Kock, 2020), the emergence of a 'Stop and Go' tourism that can adapt continuously to pandemic situation evolution (Jiricka-Pürrer et al., 2020; Uğur & Akbıyı, 2020). Finally, the development of tourism internalizing the health risk.
Therefore, the definition of a Moroccan tourism scenario needs a depth review of the current situation and a re-reading of the "wait and see" outlook for the onset of the health crisis. Since the pandemic appears, behaviors of the tourism stakeholders is already evolving in the short and medium run. Consequently, the re-reading of outlook must be a consensual process entrusted to tourism experts.
To this end, we have suggested the use of the Delphi process. This technique aims to ensure a convergence of opinions on forward-looking issues, such as demand for sustainable tourism (Choi & Sirakaya, 2006) and predictions on tourist destination attractiveness (Lee & Hsieh, 2016; Miller, 2001; Torres-Delgado & Palomeque, 2014). Thus, the Delphi survey takes place in a variety of rounds, taking into account the opinions convergence of confirmed tourism expert’s panel, namely provincial tourism delegates, members of tourism associations, specialists in sustainable tourism, researchers in tourism, etc.
Thus, Delphi survey results will make possible to prevail a post-COVID tourism scenario and to forecast the key actors’ reactions, facing the evolution of this global pandemic.

Published: January 2021

The term CBRN refers to situations that are harmful and dangerous for humans and the environment caused by the deliberate or accidental spread of chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear materials. CBRN agents used as weapons of mass destruction since ancient times; As a result of being active in the wars that have been going on for a long time and the development of weapon technology, it has been an extremely deterrent force for the countries of the world and terrorist organizations. These agents, which may cause harm to living things, the environment, even future generations, are important risk factors for each of us. Health teams and all organizations involved in rescue operations are expected to be ready for these agents to respond to any CBRN exposure. In this study; the risk perceived by the health workers and university students associated with CBRN during emergency preparedness, rescue, readiness to respond to a CBRN event were investigated. As a result, the perceived risk (3,71) in a five-point Likert rating was found to be slightly higher than willingness-volunteering (3,41) and use of personal protective equipment (3,36). It was concluded that people who are expected to participate in the CBRN intervention team should receive CBRN training and that their expected use of personal protective equipment and volunteerism should be increased.

Afet; bir toplumu derinden sarsan, ciddi can ve mal kayıpları yaşatan doğal veya insan kaynaklı olaylardır. Ülkemizde meydana gelen çeşitli afetlerden dolayı içinde bulunduğumuz coğrafyada insanlar sürekli afet riski altındadır. Toplumun dini inancı gereği afetlerin meydana gelme sebebi bazıları tarafından kader olarak değerlendirilir. Ancak tüm yaşanan felaketler kader olsa bile dinimizin öğretisi sırtımızı kadere yaslamak değil tedbirli olmayı göstermektedir. Afetlerin kadersel ilişkisi ile ilgili olarak literatürde çok az çalışma vardır. Çalışmamızın amacı bu ilişki düzeyi ile ilgili yeni araştırmalara yol açarak bölgemizde gerçekleşen afetlerin çeşitliliği ve sıklığı sebebiyle afet öncesi, sırası ve sonrası yapılacak faaliyetleri bilen daima afet bilincine sahip birey olan toplum oluşturmaktır. Bu araştırma, Gümüşhane’de yaşayan bireylerin afet konusunda bilgi ve bilinç düzeyleri ile kader inançları arasındaki ilişki düzeyleri ve afete ne kadar hazır oldukları üzerinedir.Çalışmamız Gümüşhane ilinde ikamet eden 385 kişi ile yüz yüze yapılan görüşmelerde afet bilinci ile kader inançları arasındaki ilişki kavranmaya çalışılarak, kader inancının afet bilinç düzeylerini ne derece etkilediği ve katılımcıların ne düzeyde afet bilincine sahip oldukları ölçülmeye çalışılmıştır.

Authors: Economou Catarina , Ennerberg Elin
Published: January 2021

Denna artikel handlar om en universitetsförlagd introduktionsutbildning för nyanlända lärare i Sverige, det så kallade snabbspåret. Den presenterade studien handlar om hur lärarnas flerspråkighet och transspråkande används, betraktas och tas tillvara i en kontext för högre utbildning och kompetensutveckling. Baserat på ett teoretiskt ramverk om transspråkande och olika synsätt på flerspråkighet och språkpolicyer, samlades data in genom intervjuer och observationer med utbildningens deltagare, lärare och handledare. Resultaten visar på att språkfrågan är komplex och flera tendenser visas. Dels ses deltagarnas språkkunskaper i svenska som bristande, dels ses deras flerspråkighet som en tillgång i vissa sammanhang. Transspråkandet visas fylla en viktig funktion i inlärningsprocessen inom kursens ram. Slutsatsen är att alla aktörer i utbildningen behöver få en högre medvetenhet om flerspråkighet och transspråkande så att deltagarnas kompetenser kan tillvaratas.
Innendørs risikofylt lek: Muligheter for spenning og variasjon i barnehagens lekemiljøer?
Authors: Kleppe Rasmus , Sando Ole Johan , Sandseter Ellen Beate Hansen
Published: January 2021

Risikofylt lek er en form for lek som kan bidra til både barns trivsel og utvikling, men som det er lite forsket på. I denne studien har vi undersøkt ulike aspekter ved risikofylt lek i barnehagers innemiljø. Studien baserer seg på videoobservasjon av 65 barn i alderen 3–5 år, fra syv barnehager, i perioder hvor barna var frie til å leke som de selv ville. Videoobservasjonene ble gjort i to faser, høsten 2017 (T1) og høsten 2018 (T2), og det endelige datamaterialet besto av 770 to-minutters videoobservasjoner. Basert på observasjonene i T1 ble det gjennomført en intervensjon for å styrke de eksisterende fysiske lekemiljøene. Intervensjonen ble utviklet og gjennomført som et samarbeid mellom forskerne og ansatte i barnehagene. Effektene av intervensjonen ble observert i T2. Datamaterialet ble analysert med deskriptiv statistikk og regresjonsanalyser. Resultatene viser at barn lekte risikofylt innendørs, særlig lek med høyde og boltrelek/lekeslåssing, og at den risikofylte leken hovedsakelig foregikk på tumleareal og i garderoben. Resultater knyttet til intervensjonen viser at barnehagene som etablerte et integrert tumleareal hadde en økning av risikofylt lek innendørs. I tillegg viser resultatene at både jenter, gutter og barn i ulike aldre tok i bruk tumlearealene til risikofylt lek etter intervensjonen. Totalt sett demonstrerer denne studien muligheter for å skape spennende og mer varierte lekemuligheter innendørs i barnehagen.

Published: January 2021

Central Sulawesi is the largest province on the Sulawesi island with a dominant sloping topographic condition and has a variety of soil types, flow density, land use and rainfall that makes this region vulnerable to flooding. Flooding is a hydrometeorological disaster that will adversely affect aspects of human life such as social and economic activities in an area because it can cause environmental damage, casualties and disrupt economic activity. Because of its enormous impact, the purpose of this research study is to find out areas in the province of Central Sulawesi that are suscept to flooding. The method used in this research study is scoring the classification of flood hazard parameters such as slope level, elevation, soil type, rainfall, land use and flow density which are then overlay using ArcGis 10.2.2. The results obtained that the province of Central Sulawesi has three categories of areas suscept to flooding with a low category 6630.3 km2, moderate 46081.9 km2 and high category 7104.7 km2. Based on the results and discussion, it can be concluded that Central Sulawesi province has a dominant level of vulnerability which is moderate.

The Bogowonto Hulu sub-watershed has high flooding potential, especially during the rainy season. This flooding causes physical, social, and economic losses for the local community and so the Bener Dam was built to reduce the volume of flooding in the area. This research aims to find out the effectiveness of the Bener Dam in overcoming the problem of flooding around the Bogowonto Hulu sub-watershed. The effectiveness of dams can be analysed by comparing the volume of the dam reservoir with the peak discharge amount generated. The value of peak discharge can be obtained using remote-sensing data and mathematical calculations following the rational method. Using this method, the estimated peak discharge value obtained for the watershed was 302.3 m3/s while the value of dam capacity was only 210 m3/s, giving 92.3 m3/s of flooding potential. It is necessary to reduce the potential for flooding by building an IR reservoir in the catchment area, so that rainwater is accommodated rather than being immediately depleted, and to reduce concentration time.
A Constructivist Institutionalism Perspective of Disaster and Crisis Countermeasure in Indonesia
Authors: Darmastuti Ari
Published: January 2021

As a country that lies in the area known as the Ring of Fire, Indonesia is prone to many disasters and the aftermaths of such crises, from low-scale earthquake events up to mega-magnitude tsunami, earthquakes and volcanoes. The current Covid-19 pandemic is another disaster in mega magnitude scale that the country must deal with.  Research on disaster risk reduction and management has been conducted, yet little is known about how governments, as the most important actor in disaster countermeasures, develop their institutions based on unpredictable exogenous factors.  This study aims to critically analyse disaster and crisis countermeasures in Indonesia based on a constructivist perspective.  The data for this qualitative study were mainly collected through document studies, together with some interviews.  The mega-crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in the establishment of long-term national, provincial, local, and lower level task forces all over Indonesia.  This kind of institutional arrangement has never previously been developed in the country, not even after the 2006 mega-tsunami which hit various provinces and led to a huge death toll of over 100,000. The study shows that although the institutional arrangements for disaster countermeasures in Indonesia are based on the same law, the implementation of institutional structures and practices as disaster countermeasures vary greatly.

Local wisdom can be interpreted as principles of life, behaviour, rules, and punishments, as well as a view of life that regulate life, so that it can regulate and managing natural resources in the natural, social, and economic environments. Even local knowledge have adapted to environment obstacle. This research aims to investigate traditionally local knowledge for confronting Covid-19 pandemic. The method used is qualitative with an ethnography approach and literature review. Data are collected through in-depth interviews with leaders of Urug and Cipatat Kolot societies. In order to investigate Baduy and Ciptagelar communities used a literature review. Data are supported by documentation and observation sources. The sample is selected using a purposive sampling technique. The result is analysed through triangulation, which is by mixing some gathered data methods. The result is that Urug society allocates rice each year from their paddy yields to the vulnerable groups such as orphans, elderlies, widows, and persons need most. Secondly, collective action is used to jump the capacity of people like women through nujuh bulanan. Thirdly, societies exert taboo to combat disaster and Covid-19, including by prohibiting community from trading paddies and rice. Another finding is that indigenous knowledge uses some life strategies and utilizes natural capital optimally for overcoming life perturbances. The last finding is that local knowledge has preserved agriculture jobs as a venue to survive.
Spatial Distribution of Drifted-wood Hazard following the July 2017 Sediment-hazards in the Akatani river, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan

Published: January 2021

In recent years, heavy rainfall leading to floods, landslides and debris-flow hazards have had increasing impacts on communities in Japan, because of climate change and structural immobilism in a changing and ageing society. Decreasing rural population lowers the human vulnerability in mountains, but hazards can still leave the mountain to the plains and sea, potentially carrying drifted-wood. The aim of the paper is to measure the distribution of wood-debris deposits created by the 2017 Asakura disaster and to rethink the distribution and spatial extension of associated disaster-risk zoning. For this purpose, the authors: (1) digitized and measured the distribution of drifted-wood, (2) statistically analyzed its distribution and (3) calculated the potential impact force of individual drifted timber as a minimal value. The results have shown that there is a shortening of the wood debris as they travel downstream and that the geomorphology has an important control over deposition zones. The result of momentum calculation for different stems’ length show spatially differentiated hazard-zones, which limit different disaster-risk potentials. From the present finding, we can state that we (1) need to develop separate strategies for sediments and wood debris (2) and for wood hazards, zonations can be generated depending on the location and the size of the deposited trees that differs spatially in a watershed.

Access to clean water and electricity is one of the sustainable development agendas being addressed worldwide. However, people living on small islands scattered throughout Indonesia still face difficulties in accessing clean water and electricity. In an effort to overcome this problem, the Indonesian government and other donors are building small-scale clean-water infrastructure in a number of these small islands. Other infrastructure, such as electricity supply, has also been developed in a number of places. The infrastructure framework for these works is directed toward community-based management efforts. However, various problems have emerged after the construction of these facilities. Instead of achieving increased community participation in their management, the opposite occurs. This article investigates this situation using a rapid survey of communities in Bintan Island and Kapo-Kapo Island in the Mandeh Waters area, and finds that the development of small-scale infrastructure has a different impact on the two regions observed. An elaboration of various field findings is presented in detail in this article.

El lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) es una enfermedad autoinmune caracterizada por la pérdida de la auto-tolerancia y la formación de autoantígenos nucleares y complejos inmunes que resultan en la inflamación de múltiples órganos; su presentación es más común en mujeres, a pesar que, su presencia en hombres conlleva mayor riesgo de complicaciones, en especial, con afectación de órganos específicos como el riñón, desarrollando nefritis lúpica de diferentes grados de afectación.

La clasificación de lupus eritematoso sistémico es posible con la aplicación de los criterios desarrollados por las Clínicas de Colaboración del Lupus Eritematoso Sistémico (SLICC, de sus siglas en inglés), demostrando una sensibilidad de 94% y una especificidad de 92%, y de especial importancia cuando se detectan criterios histopatológicos derivados de una biopsia renal.

Por lo anterior descrito, presentamos un caso clínico de paciente adulto masculino con síntomas y signos en inicio no específicos para enfermedad autoinmune, debido a la sospecha clínica y los hallazgos durante su evaluación, fue posible diagnosticar lupus eritematoso sistémico con afectación renal. 

Las enfermedades autoinmunes, en especial, el lupus eritematoso sistémico tiene variadas presentaciones clínicas, lo que genera un reto diagnóstico para los médicos.
