Credit Limit of Unsecured Consumer Lending: Evidence from Micro Data
Authors: Johan Suwinto , Dewi Calista Endrina
Published: June 2021

As credit card debts have increased in Indonesia over the past ten years, concerns over the impulsive buying behavior of Indonesian credit card holders have emerged. Therefore, more attention must be paid to credit risk management of banks as it plays an important role in analyzing the possibility of losses due to the inability of prospective borrowers to repay debts. This study provides empirical evidence about the prudence of commercial banks in Greater Jakarta in offering credit card limits. Using primary micro-data collected from credit card applications submitted to the largest foreign private bank providing retail credit in the Greater Jakarta area in 2019, this study employed multiple regression model to analyze the determinants of credit card limits in the Greater Jakarta. Our empirical findings suggest that age, home location, income, type of industry, and office location of prospective borrowers significantly influence credit card limits. Commercial banks in the Greater Jakarta, thus, have been prudent in offering credit card limits.
Fiscal Sustainability in Indonesia with Asymmetry
Authors: Ikhsan Mohamad , Virananda I Gede Sthitaprajna
Published: June 2021

The management of fiscal balance determines public debt sustainability, where a positive response of primary balance towards the debt ratio indicates a sustainable path. However, there might be asymmetry in the government’s fiscal management between different phases of the debt trajectory and business cycle. This study examines the sustainability of fiscal imbalance and public debt in Indonesia using the fiscal reaction function with annual fiscal data from 1976 to 2019. We incorporate asymmetry by decomposing the lagged debt ratio and cyclical output variables into their positive and negative partial sums. We find that Indonesia’s fiscal imbalance is on a path of weak sustainability as revenue grows more slowly than expenditure in the long run, with the bi-directional Granger causality between the two indicating fiscal synchronization. Long-run public debt sustainability is on a more sustainable path as primary surplus responds positively to the debt ratio. However, our asymmetric analysis suggests that this might be a false impression as primary balance decreases only in response to debt ratio decrease but increases less or fails to increase when the debt ratio rises, which is potentially dangerous.

Published: June 2021

El desinterés y el aburrimiento son situaciones que se pueden dar en el trabajo, con consecuencias negativas para la salud de los empleados, su bienestar y la productividad de la organización. En el presente trabajo analizaremos la influencia que ejerce el aburrimiento en el trabajo, en los conflictos interpersonales y cómo este afecta al compromiso afectivo en las administraciones públicas. En este sentido, se utilizó una muestra de 73 conserjes pertenecientes a diferentes organismos de la administración pública. Los datos mostraron relaciones significativas positivas entre el aburrimiento y el conflicto relacional y negativas con el compromiso afectivo. Además, encontramos que la cultura de reglas potencia la relación entre aburrimiento y conflictividad relacional. Las conclusiones apuntan a la necesidad de mejorar la motivación intrínseca de las personas que ocupan puestos de escasa complejidad en las administraciones, así como establecer sistemas de gestión de los conflictos que vayan surgiendo en dicho contexto.

Состав энтомопатогенных видов гифальных грибов с пораженных гусениц хлопковой совки
Authors: Авазов Сардоржон , Хасанов Саидинаби
Published: June 2021

В статье обсуждаются вопрос поиска энтомопатогенных грибов, выявленных с пораженных гусениц хлопковой совки на посевах хлопчатника и овощных культур. В результате выделено 20 видов энтомопатогенных гифальных микромицетов из 12 родов, 3 семейств грибов. Была проверена вирулентность выявленной микобиоты. 
Из представленных данных следует, что процент поражения гусениц восковой моли в опыте при искусственном заражении колеблется в пределах от 2 до 25%. Отмечено, что гибель гусениц в течение 20 дней отмечалась лишь в случае со штаммами видов Aspergillus fumigates (4% гусениц погибли), Aspergillus flavus, Trichotecium roseum,  Spicaria heliothis и Fusarium lateritium вызвали гибель 2% гусениц.
На основании полученных данных был сделан вывод, что выявленные виды в той или иной степени обладают определенными энтомопатогенными свойствами, но данные штаммы ввиду слабой вирулентности для насекомых не могут быть примененными в практических целях.

The Ideal Ego vs. the Ego Ideal: Fictionalization of Lacanian Perversion in Poe’s “The Imp of the Perverse”
Authors: Nazli Elzem
Published: June 2021

In Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, “The Imp of the Perverse” (1845), the narrator/protagonist gives us his account of how he commits a murder, but he does not provide a fully defined, convincing reason for his vile action. He speaks like a commonsensical man when he philosophizes on “perversity” in a clinically distanced tone of voice. He makes inferences and highlights the implications concerning perversity. With the same tone of voice, he also gives the readers a cold-blooded account of how he killed an old man. The insanity in the act and the way he narrates it are complicated enough for us to make sense of his situation. However, to make the issue more complicated, he gives himself away and is imprisoned to be hanged. The co-existence of these triangular dynamics has triggered a zealous hermeneutic process by/for the critics. However, none of these readings can exhaust the narrative and hermeneutical implications embodied in the story. Each of them can cover some aspects of the narrative while leaving some others untouched like the psychodynamics of the main character. In that sense, this essay attempts to make a psychoanalytic interpretation of the story by giving a Lacanian hearing to it as it might offer an explanation for certain details which otherwise remain as a rupture like the narrator’s drive to give himself away or his impulsive act of killing the old man. Using the Lacanian concepts of the ideal ego and the ego ideal, jouissance, perversity, the imaginary, and the symbolic as the conceptual backcloth, this essay claims that Poe fictionalizes Lacanian psychoanalytic concept of perversity, which refers to the partial accession to castration, in “The Imp of the Perverse”.
Fictionalized Accounts of African Migrant Mothers in And Breathe Normally and Anchor Baby
Authors: Odukomaiya Omotoyosi
Published: June 2021

Representations and discourses about migrants have excluded the narratives of African migrant mothers. Often, discussions about these group of women tend to rely on stereotypes, which consequently trivializes the complexities and nuances that characterize the lives of these women. Adopting an intersectional approach, this article centers the African immigrant mother by exploring the narratives of African migrant mothers in two films. In this article, I explore how institutional systems combine to oppress African migrant mothers in their host nations. While And Breathe Normally (2018) challenges the notion of female passivity—which shapes numerous mainstream Hollywood films—Anchor Baby (2010) perpetuates some patriarchal norms associated with motherhood. However, both films demonstrate the multiple layers of oppression that African migrant mothers encounter in the host country. Through the individual narratives of all the female characters (black and white) in both films, we can see each one of them has personal battles imposed on them by their societies, thereby highlighting how interconnected the lives of women are.
Spiritual Growth in Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End
Authors: Pekşen Seda
Published: June 2021

The relationships between all human and non-human characters in Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End can be analysed as that of parents and their offspring, which, in return, will bring forth the contention that all these characters, including humanity in the broadest sense, can be considered children in a never-ending process of growth. Though such a contention stems from the similarities between the attitude of children and adults in the relationship of each with their own literal or figurative parents, contrastingly it is also enhanced by the differences of perspective between children and adults. The use of the words “children” and “adults” here should not be taken solely in their literal sense, but as referring to the characters’ position in each particular relationship. In that sense, “children” would refer not only to actual human children in their relationship with their human parents, but also to the adult human characters in their relationship with God/the alien Overlords/the Overmind/the Universe. The aim here is to offer an in-depth analysis of these relationships between humans as children of the universe and the Overlords as their guides towards the path of spiritual growth, as well as to portray the current relevance of this science-fiction novel which was first published in 1953.
Ejercicios para aprender macroeconomía
Authors: Palafox Moyers Carlos Germán , Rodríguez Hernández María Isabel , Armenta Calleja Andrea
Published: June 2021

En esta obra se consideran los elementos básicos del Sistema de Cuentas Nacionales en el que se presentan los conceptos macroeconómicos e identidades contables económicas subyacentes a dichas cuentas. Para identificar el Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) nominal y real, el ingreso y el ahorro nacional de la economía mexicana, se analizan los tres tipos de enfoque: gasto, producción e ingreso. Además, se incluye una serie de ejercicios de los tres enfoques con las respuestas a los problemas, como guía de aprendizaje para estudiantes o personas interesadas en el tema. De igual forma, se examina el mercado de bienes y servicios que hace referencia al lugar donde los oferentes (empresas) y demandantes (familias o gobierno) compran y venden bienes o servicios. Asimismo, se aborda el comportamiento de los demandantes y ofertantes de dinero y bonos. El estudio de este último es clave para analizar la tasa de interés y los portafolios de acciones y bonos gubernamentales en el mercado bursátil. A los mercados de bienes y dinero se les identifica como el modelo IS-LM. En ambos, se parte de premisas básicas hasta lograr el equilibrio de estos mercados, además de obtener los multiplicadores de política monetaria y fiscal. El modelo keynesiano o IS-LM se centra en la demanda agregada de corto plazo, como determinante clave para la reactivación de las economías. Otro de los temas de gran importancia que se analiza es el modelo clásico de la macroeconomía cuyo eje central es la curva de Phillips y que relaciona: el mercado laboral y los niveles de inflación; la conformación y evolución del mercado laboral nacional y estatal; la evolución de la formación bruta de capital (formación de capital), así como el cálculo de la productividad del trabajo. Por ende, se examina la función de producción, la teoría cuantitativa del dinero y el mercado de fondos prestables para conformar el modelo clásico de corto plazo. El estudiar ambos modelos permite explicar, desde diferentes visiones teóricas, las políticas fiscales y monetarias que afectan los niveles de empleo y producción de la economía que hasta el día de hoy se mantienen en discusión en la mayoría de los países.

BETWEEN ALBEE’S DOG AND GOAT: IMAGES OF ANIMAL COMPANIONSHIP
Authors: Naji Hussein ITHAWI Hind
Published: June 2021

Modern times seem to have been inflicted with a puzzling sickness that pervades humans’ existence on every possible level. The modern sickness of loneliness and loss of connection assumes center stage position whether in social contexts or personal spaces. This modern ailment is clear within the modern American setting particularly; therefore, many dramatic pieces try to dramatize its manifestations and consequences. The present paper attempts to explore the manifestations of this sickness in the representations of animal companionship. Such representations populate many modern American plays from the beginning of the twentieth century and moving on to the millennium. The paper suggests that images and representations of animal companionship are only expressions of modern individuals’ isolation and loss of connection. The paper examines two plays by Edward Albee, The Zoo Story (1959) and The Goat or Who’s Sylvia? (2000), that represent a new kind of companionship that may or may not sustain the struggle of their modern protagonists to establish some kind of connection with the world around them. Key words: Animal Companionship, Human-Animal Studies, Loneliness
ADMINISTRATIVE REFORMS IN BAGHDAD DURING THE RULE OF THE GOVERNOR MATHAT PASHA (1869-1872)

Published: June 2021

Pasha was one of the most prominent Ottoman governors who ruled Baghdad during the rule of the Ottoman Empire, and he was also one of the most important administrative reformers in the city, as he was appointed as its governor in (1869 AD), so he assumed the task of the Ottoman state’s control over the Arab Gulf countries such as (Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Al-Ahsa We find). This study acquires its importance through the important administrative reforms that Medhat Pasha undertook in Baghdad, so we dealt with it in this research in some detail, as his reforms in the fields of (education, mail, health, administration, and construction, etc.) were of great importance in administrative and urban development. For the city of Baghdad, as it established the first building blocks for establishing a solid central administrative system and distinguished urban development. Perhaps one of the most prominent objectives of this study is to shed light on the important reforms of Governor Medhat Pasha in the city of Baghdad, especially in the administrative, urban, educational and other fields, and to stand on each one of them in order to demonstrate its importance and impact on Al-Baghdadi society. As for the problem of this study, it lies in the disclosure of many challenges that coincided with the reforms of Medhat Pasha, which caused a qualitative shift in the administrative system in Baghdad, the most prominent of which was the popular revolution by the people of this city following the imposition of compulsory conscription, even though the governor faced it And he was able to control it and where he did not stop his reforms, whose effects and features remain fresh to this day. He regretted that Medhat Pasha did not help him with his reforms at the Sublime Porte, so the intrigues and plots were trampled upon him, and he was subsequently transferred to the state of Izmir and he was arrested on charges of killing Sultan Abdul Aziz. The judgment was not executed, so he ordered his exile to the city of Taif, and he died in prison in 1883AD.
Results of Ponseti Casting for Clubfoot in a Tertiary Public Hospital
Authors: Eusebio Ilian Dominiq D. , Sumpaico Carlo Emmanuel J.
Published: June 2021

Introduction. Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), also called clubfoot, is one of the most common orthopedic congenital anomalies. However, there is no formal study of the condition here in the Philippines, and data is sparse regarding the epidemiology, treatment, and outcomes in similar third-world countries.

Methods. Retrospective review of data of clubfoot patients seen at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) Clubfoot Clinic from 2006 up to the present.

Results. Records from 75 patients treated at the PGH Clubfoot Clinic from 2010-2016 were reviewed. Idiopathic clubfoot comprised 76% of the patients, while syndromic clubfoot comprised 24%. A good outcome of the Ponseti method was seen in 82% and 88% of the idiopathic and syndromic clubfoot patients, respectively. Idiopathic clubfoot cases that had good outcomes required an average of 11.84 casts to tenotomy or bracing, which was not statistically significant compared to 9.55 average sessions for syndromic clubfoot (p=0.21). The initial Pirani scores for both cases were not significantly different (p=0.95). Idiopathic cases with poor outcomes needed less casting sessions (4.45) because the decision to operate was made early. Age was not found to significantly affect the outcome of treatment for idiopathic clubfoot (p=0.20) and syndromic clubfoot (p=0.64).

Conclusion. Ponseti casting was found to be effective in treating both idiopathic and syndromic clubfoot patients. The number of sessions did not differ significantly between the two.

La incidencia de ETV aumenta con la edad y la recurrencia, el sangrado y la mortalidad durante el tratamiento puede diferir en los diferentes grupos etarios. Los pacientes centenarios y muy jóvenes son escasamente representados en los ensayos clínicos con tratamiento anticoagulante, por lo que desconocemos las complicaciones de la enfermedad y del tratamiento en estos grupos de edad. Utilizamos datos del registro RIETE para evaluar las características clínicas, los factores de riesgo y los resultados durante el curso de anticoagulación en pacientes con ETV de ≥ 100 años y 10-24 años. Posteriormente se han analizado los datos y se han publicado dos artículos, "Tromboembolismo venoso en centenarios" y "Tromboembolismo venoso en adultos jóvenes". En resumen, nuestro estudio en centenarios revela que la anticoagulación estándar induce sólo un mínimo efecto secundario, mientras que los resultados negativos de la ETV en centenarios siguen siendo extremadamente serios, ya que el riesgo de morir de EP supera al riesgo de sangrado. Por tanto, nuestros datos apoyan el uso de terapia anticoagulante a dosis plenas en esta población. Por otro lado, en la mayoría de los pacientes jóvenes con EP las características clínicas basales pueden dificultar el diagnóstico precoz y la estratificación de la EP. Durante la anticoagulación, las mujeres tuvieron tasas similares de recurrencias de ETV y hemorragia mayor, pero en los hombres el riesgo de recurrencias de ETV supera el riesgo de sangrado. Estas diferencias probablemente no se debieron al género en sí, ya que desaparecieron después de ajustar por posibles factores de confusión.
Estimation of the Number of Cumulative COVID-19 Cases by Day in Thailand Based on a Flattened Curve Policy

Since December 2019, the world has been facing an emerging infectious disease named coronavirus disease 2019. Thailand has also been affected by the spread of the coronavirus. The Thai government have announced policies to protect people, based on the emergency decree and curfew law for flattening the curve of the number of the coronavirus disease 2019 cases without vaccination in Thailand. This research estimated of the number of total infectious cases of coronavirus disease 2019 in Thailand. Two growth curves, including an exponential growth curve under a non-flattened curve policy (herd immunity policy without vaccination), and a logistic growth curve under a flattened curve policy without vaccination, were selected to estimate the parameters of the curves by the least square method to represent the number of the total infectious cases in Thailand. Moreover, the maximum infectious cases of coronavirus disease 2019 and the speed of spreading for coronavirus disease 2019 in Thailand were also explored. Based on the number of the total infectious cases of coronavirus disease 2019 in Thailand, the findings demonstrated that the coefficient of determination of the logistic growth curve was greater than the exponential growth curve and the root means squared percentage error of the logistic growth curve was less than the exponential growth curve. These results suggest that the logistic growth curve is suitable for describing the number of total infectious cases of coronavirus disease 2019 in Thailand under the fattened curve policy.

Intercalation of 4-amino benzoic acid (4-AB) into Zn/Al-nitrate layered double hydroxide (ZAL2) to form Zn/Al-4AB (ZALAB) compound was successfully synthesized from nitrate salt by using direct co-precipitation method. ZALAB compound was confirmed by Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) pattern with a basal spacing of 15.3 Å. The presence of COO- and C6H5NH2 functional groups of 4-AB at 1,517 and 1,178 cm–1 in Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum reinforced 4-AB intercalated into the resulting compound. Based on the thermal analysis, 4-AB in ZALAB compound was more stable compared to pure 4-AB. Breuneur, Emmet and Teller/Barret-Joyner-Halenda (BET/BJH) analyses demonstrated that ZALAB compound is a mesopores-type IV compound with 4.25 m2/g surface area. This material is an irregular shape with different sizes of particles. ZALAB is a potential sunscreen formulation that minimizes the harmful effect on the skin, improving pharmaceutical technology in the skincare treatment.

Prostate cancer (PCa) can be highly heterogeneous and multifocal, and accurate assessment of the volume, grade, and stage of PCa in situ is not a simple task. Urine has been investigated as a source of PCa biomarkers for over 70 years, and there is now strong evidence that analysis of urine could provide more accurate diagnosis and a better risk stratification that could aid clinical decisions regarding disease surveillance and treatment. Urine diagnostics is a developing area, moving towards multiomic biomarker integration for improved diagnostic performance. Urine tests developed by strong collaborations between scientists and clinicians have the potential to provide targeted and meaningful data that can guide treatment and improve men’s lives.
El archivo, la monja y el problema de la violación de guerra en la revolución mexicana, 1914
Authors: Curley Robert
Published: June 2021

Este artículo tiene dos propósitos, el primero es explicar de qué manera la construcción del archivo histórico es un acto de poder mediatizado por las relaciones de género y el segundo es hacer visible un grupo de mujeres cuya historia ha permanecido sin identificarse en la historiografía mexicana. Ambos hilos de esta historia se remontan a la década de la revolución mexicana, en particular al año de 1914. Se trata de una historia doblemente invisibilizada, una vez por ser una historia de mujeres y otra vez por ser de religiosas. El tema que guía el argumento es el testimonio sobre la violación de algunas de estas mujeres a manos de los soldados del Ejército Constitucionalista. El proceso de construcción de los testimonios y la información que contienen nos abren dos ventanas distintas y relacionadas sobre la historia de la revolución como guerra y la violencia como un fenómeno que tiene sexo.
Privilegio académico y escolasticismo moderno Trascendencia secular e inmanencia mundana
Authors: Dube Saurabh
Published: June 2021

Este ensayo explora las cuestiones de la inmanencia mundana y la trascendencia secular centrándose en la escolástica moderna. Dicha escolástica emplea procedimientos omnipresentes que convierten su caso particular en historia general, olvidando las condiciones que lo hacen posible. Es exactamente esa espectacularidad la que el ensayo denomina trascendencia secular: suposiciones implícitas de un conocimiento inmaculado que ocluye e ignora las huellas y rastros de su nacimiento maculado en el mundo.  Frente a esto se contrapone la presencia de la inmanencia mundana, que milita contra los supuestos rutinarios del desencanto de -y el desapego hacia- el mundo. Aprovechando esa inmanencia mundana, el ensayo explora críticamente cómo la escolástica moderna y la trascendencia secular engendran y denotan formidablemente el privilegio cultural de los ámbitos académicos, encarnado a la vez en las convenciones conceptuales de estos últimos, así como en sus mundos vitales cotidianos.
El espacio del pensar de Baltasar Gracián
Authors: Gumbrecht Hans Ulrich
Published: June 2021

Baltasar Gracián impresionó a la posteridad como una figura de perfil llamativo, entre cuya obra y circunstancias de vida existía una relación formativa y esclarecedora. Los eruditos que lo han estudiado pusieron de relieve sobre todo aspectos específicos: por ejemplo, su lugar en la tradi- ción de la historia intelectual, problemas filológicos individuales de di- fícil resolución, o momentos de particular intensidad en la historia de la recepción. Así, al final, el contorno de su figura de autor no se llena de una coloración que la complete como una imagen individual.

Werner Krauss, autor de La doctrina de la vida según Baltasar Gra- cián, un libro sobre el jesuita Gracián, pone en su centro el Oráculo manual, publicada en 1647. La “doctrina de la vida” de Gracián, según el propio Krauss, se sustenta en el poder salvador que las premisas y los argumentos racionales proporcionan en precarias situaciones vitales, y la orientación existencial así adquirida se independiza de las circunstancias específicas de las que originó. Esto todavía sigue siendo válido para la mitad del siglo xx.
Los gauchipolíticos de El Ombú. Una mirada cultural, política y criollista al Uruguay de fin de siglo XIX
Authors: Casas Matías Emiliano
Published: June 2021

En un contexto signado por la recuperación económica luego de la crisis de 1890, la inmigración masiva, la belle époque montevideana, el descrédito político del gobierno de Juan Idiarte Borda y los preludios de revolución, se fundó la revista El Ombú en enero de 1896. El semanario criollo se enmarcó en un proceso de expansión y abaratamiento de la prensa y se sostuvo a través de las publicidades y suscripciones. Orosmán Moratorio, su director, se había separado abruptamente del proyecto editorial fundado con Alcides de María solo cuatro meses antes en la revista El Fogón. Se considera que ese distanciamiento respondió a una lectura particular de la dinámica política y cultural de la época. Los tradicionalistas, generalmente identificados por la estetización literaria o por la “domesticación de la gauchesca”, desarrollaron una intensa crítica política al tiempo que pugnaron por insertarse en el centro de la vida cultural en la Montevideo moderna. El análisis de los 48 números de El Ombú, junto con la consulta de la prensa periódica más las memorias de instituciones vinculadas a la revista echan luz sobre las intervenciones de ese grupo en la cultura y la política uruguaya de fin de siglo.

At Home Testing to Reduce the Spread of COVID-19
Authors: Maghrabi Mahvash , Quazi Danyal
Published: June 2021

Testing plays a very important role in dealing with coronavirus as it identifies people who are carrying the virus, both those who are ill and those who aren't exhibiting any symptoms. Once people are aware that they are infected, they can take the proper measures to avoid others getting exposed to the virus. In this paper we have mentioned various testing methods and how traditional testing can lead to an increase in the spread of the virus, ultimately making the entire situation worse. Our goal is to promote at-home testing. We have explained the benefits of adopting at home testing. We have also explained the process of how we can achieve this goal.

ACTION ON THE PITCH

A visual approach to nineteenth century football history in The Netherlands

This article illustrates the ‘visual turn’ approach to sports history in an analysis of traditionally under-researched material from the late nineteenth century. Focusing on football (‘soccer’) action photography, we argue that interpreting this visual material contributes significantly to the exploration and interpretation of the broader social and cultural context within which sports were practised and the visual material was produced. Regarding the latter, the photographer’s challenge was to capture the movement inherent in the practice of sports generally and of football specifically. Our analysis explains the time at which these pictures first appear as a consequence of developing possibilities and skills in ongoing photographic experimentation. This is illustrated by a case study of a football action photograph from the archives of the Noorthey Institute for boys in Voorschoten, dating from 1895-1897. There, conducting sports was seen as a way of enhancing the students’ physical and mental strengths, including improved study performance. It took place in an atmosphere of camaraderie among teachers and students, the latter acting as supervisors and teammates at the same time. Beyond the texts, the photographs visualize what this educational approach entailed in actual practice.
Een ondeugende Diogenes
Authors: Kuin Inger N.I.
Published: June 2021

In the corpus of apocryphal Cynic letters those attributed to Diogenes stand out: they form the bulk of the letters and they are the most humorous. This corresponds with representations of him as a provocateur elsewhere in imperial Greek literature. This article focuses on the topic of sex in Diogenes’ letters, and answers two main questions: first, whether the sexual humor of the letters is more risqué than what we find in the other sources; second, how this sexual humor contributes to the overall purpose of the apocryphal Diogenes letters. I suggest that even though in the letters euphemistic language persists, they treat the Diogenes anecdotes about sex in greater detail than anywhere else. The provocative, risqué humor contained in these anecdotes would serve to entice and entertain audiences in order to get them engaged in Cynic philosophy.
