Amartya Kumar Sen, Premio Nobel de Economía 1998
Authors: Magaña Álvaro
Published: October 2021

En este artículo, el autor analiza los trabajos y planteamientos del profesor Amartya K. Sen, que el pasado octubre recibió el Premio Nobel de Economía de 1998. En sus estudios, el profesor Sen ha cuestionado de manera clara y categórica los métodos y principios fundamentales característicos del análisis económico neoclásico tradicional. Más aún, en la orientación de sus trabajos e investigaciones se evidencian sus serias dudas sobre las bondades de las corrientes prevalecientes, identificadas con el llamado neoliberalismo y concretadas, en la práctica, por el dogma estrictamente cumplido de una obediencia ciega a las fuerzas del mercado.

The Challenges of Writing a National Literary History in the Era of Transnationalism: Insights from a Peripheral Literary Space
Authors: Ung Snejana
Published: October 2021

It goes without saying that during the nineteenth and twentieth century literary historiography tries to define national identities. However, a methodological and paradigm shift occur at the beginning of the twenty-first century when, under the auspices of globalization and the emergence of world literature and transnational literary studies, literary historiography is re-thought as a collective and transnational project. Yet, the asymmetry of the world literary system affects literary historiography too. When it comes to this scholarly genre, the asymmetry is most visible in the fact that in the era of transnationalism, national histories are still written at the periphery. Given the aforementioned observation, this paper a) looks into the challenges of writing literary history in Romania in the age of world literature and transnational studies, and b) tries to explain why a national literary history is still needed and how it can change the way we think about Romanian literature. The starting point of this inquiry is represented by the publication of Mihai Iovănel’s Istoria literaturii române contemporane: 1990-2020 [History of Contemporary Romanian Literature: 1990-2020]. In the context of the ‘transnational turn’ in literary studies, the attempt to write relevant national histories in a peripheral literary space such as Romania is faced, in my view, with two major challenges: 1) the fact that transnationalism manifests itself differently at the periphery and 2) the tradition of Romanian literary criticism and history. The former refers to the fact that unlike central literatures, where transnationalism is shaped to a large extent by migrant writers (those who enter these literatures), in Romanian literature it comprises exiled or migrant writers (those who left Romania and not vice versa) and, to a lesser extent, the literatures written by ethnic minorities. A comparative approach can cast light on this difference. For example, while the thirteenth volume of The Oxford English Literary History is dedicated entirely to migrant and bicultural writers, transnational histories concerning the peripheries, such as History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe, focus on multiple literary spaces and therefore have a different approach to dealing with transnationalism. The latter challenge is represented, as shown by Iovănel, by the long-lasting tradition of the “principle of aesthetic autonomism”, which persists even in post-communist Romania. In this regard, this paper aims to show that Iovănel’s History… overcomes the above-mentioned hindrances of literary criticism and succeeds in offering an image of Romanian literature not as confined to its national boundaries but as part of the world literary system. Along with other significant scholarly works on Romanian literature as and in world literature, this project is a significant step towards re-thinking Romanian literature as a “literature of the world” (Terian 2015).
Când totul e pierdut, ai grijă să cazi cu stil. Istoria lui Iovănel: note, completări, provocări
Authors: Rogozanu Costi
Published: October 2021

I will analyse the correspondences between two critical ambitions cultivated a century apart, those of the liberal ideological critic Lovinescu and of a young literary critic who reads Romanian literature through a minimally progressive grid, sensible to liberal nuances and with leftist interpretative undertones (considering the evolution of class representation and of the “social”) in discussing recent literature, a point of view having a devastating effect on many writers (in light of the fact that the regime change has occasioned an upsurge in racism, sexism, and all other imaginable phobias, which have nonetheless been cultivated in the last stage of nationalist propaganda of the 70s-80s as well). I will pursue the evolution of several writers against the backdrop of the ideological mainstream, as well as the manner in which Iovănel interprets them: Mircea Cărtărescu, Adrian Schiop, and Lavinia Braniște. I will also attempt to establish the limitations of Iovănel’s approach, residing in the conflict between established literary criticism and a literary production which has been completely underprivileged within the free market, enjoying weak institutional support, and whose sales and popularity are rapidly diminishing. The literary critic, still part of a somewhat stable institutional network, seems to be confined in a depressingly marginal literary underbrush, whose growth was sparked by the cataclysm of anti-communist “cultural revolution” and savage capitalism. One of the greatest constructs of communist modernity, mass culture, which was to transform into one of the greatest post-communist utopias, commercial culture, was of great importance for the present debate.
Critica ideologiei în cultura dicționarului
Authors: Bocai Iulian
Published: October 2021

Literary history is still the most successful strategy of systematizing knowledge in Romanian academe and, although the theoretical revolution that took place in literary studies between 1960-1990 did not leave it unscathed, it remains the methodological anchor of every attempt at trying to make sense of the entirety of a specific culture. In this paper I analyze Mihai Iovănel’s new History of Contemporary Romanian Literature and whether it succeeds in revolutionizing (methodologically or in terms of cultural analysis) an old and robust genre of explanation, in an intellectual culture that is otherwise enamored with dictionaries, encyclopedias and all-encompassing narratives of the past.
Canonul occidental din Istoria literaturii române contemporane: 1990-2020 de Mihai Iovănel
Authors: Borza Cosmin
Published: October 2021

This paper focuses on the strategies enacted by Mihai Iovănelʼs History in order to map the transnational interactions of contemporary Romanian literature. Since Iovănel emphasizes that, starting with the 2000s, the Romanian writers define themselves mainly through the global networks in which they try to integrate, this article aims to analyse: a) the canonical function acquired by the local references to World Literature; b) their explanatory role compared to the one played by the closed circuit of the so-called “intra-national” comparisons; c) the theoretical legitimacy of the “transnational canon” projected by Iovănel in the epilogue of his History.
De la canonul optzecist la canonul transnațional
Authors: David Emilia
Published: October 2021

The present article will try to highlight a series of innovations brought about by Mihai Iovănel’s History of Contemporary Romanian Literature 1990-2020 in the current evaluation and critical interpretation of Romanian literature. Singular in terms of the length of the period under scrutiny and the general objectives pursued by its author, the History views literature as an overarching institution governed by its own mechanisms. The latter are both extraliterary – drawing on historical, sociological, and critical markers – and artistic – explorable by invoking the aesthetic standpoint alone. By discussing the insistence on the first type of mechanisms, I will present one of the major elements of novelty brought by the volume in the contemporary cultural landscape of Romania. Placing myself, therefore, on the position of the “local” reader, i.e., as a connoisseur of the evolution of the contemporary Romanian literary system, I will examine, on the one hand, the ways in which Mihai Iovănel discusses and redefines prevalent concepts in literary theory and criticism, while on the other, I will perform the critical – but also pedagogic – role of the expert who wants to present to a “foreign” public – belonging to another country and culture, that is – the national literature as “literature of the world.” Iovănel employs a set of adequate and representative instruments of study and analysis in showing that Romanian literature is a cultural phenomenon engaging in a constant dialogue with European and universal paradigms and models.
Cvasi în direct: evenimentul revoluției române în Istoria lui Mihai Iovănel
Authors: Morozov Victor
Published: October 2021

This essay aims to examine several means by which literary historian and critic Mihai Iovănel grounds his synthesis work around the seminal moment of the Romanian revolution. It proceeds by defining two central occurrences of that event throughout the volume – as a temporary marker, useful insofar as it manages to divide more or less arbitrarily a historic period, and as a source for the narratives that would develop in quick response to the brutal transition towards capitalism. The article questions the meaning of the choice to engage the contemporary history starting from the Romanian revolution, while also pointing out the media transformations that this globally televised event brought to the literary field.
Primul mythos de stânga al literaturii române contemporane
Authors: Vancu Radu
Published: October 2021

Mihai Iovănel’s History of Contemporary Romanian Literature: 1990-2020 is the first leftist major narrative of Romanian literature – and the shockwaves it generated were due even more to this firm ideological option (the first such one in the history of major Romanian literary histories) than to its literary content proper. The present article aims at asserting the main three accomplishments and shortcomings generated by this ideological option – namely that: i) it succeeds in coalescing the first coherent narrative of the last three decades of Romanian literature; ii) it sometimes turns from an ideological option into an ideological bias – and modifies the factuality of Romanian literature, eliminating important writers, exaggerating the qualities of some other ones, searching to distribute merits (to leftist writers) and punishments (to right-wing ones) according with their political option, and not with their literary qualifications; iii) it is an impressive stylistic achievement in itself, even though quite ironically its author disregards the virtues of aestheticism.
A comparison of the symptoms derived using a radionically prepared remedy with the existing materia medica : a triple-blind proving of a well proven homoeopathic remedy
Authors:   , Lin Joanna
Published: October 2021

AIM The aim of this study was to determine whether a radionically prepared remedy would elicit symptomatology similar to the existing materia medica of the same remedy during a triple-blind proving. METHODOLOGY This homoeopathic proving of a radionically prepared remedy in 30C-equivalent (CR) potency was of a true experimental design, conducted in the form of a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Thirty proving participants (20 verum and 10 placebo) were selected according to defined inclusion criteria, and were closely monitored by the researcher throughout the proving to ensure prover compliance and wellbeing. Data was collected in the form of prover journals, in which provers recorded their symptoms experienced over the pre-proving observation period, the duration of the proving and the post-proving observation period. The proving symptomatology was collated into standard materia medica and repertory formats, following the CHROMA-Prove© method. Twenty keynote rubrics were selected according to criteria, which included symptoms ‘Grade 2’ or higher, PQRS (peculiar, queer, rare, strange) symptoms and general symptoms, and were subjected to repertorial analysis using RadarOpus software program (version 1.38). The nature of the proving substance was unblinded only after an estimation of the substance by repertorial overlap was made by the principal researcher, following which qualitative and quantitative comparisons of the proving materia medica and repertory were made against the existing materia medica of the same remedy accordingly. Results The proving of the radionically prepared remedy produced observable symptoms that resulted in a total of 332 materia medica entries, which translated into 563 rubrics distributed across 32 chapters. Five repertorial techniques were applied to the twenty rubrics selected and the researcher was able to correctly identify the radionically prepared proving substance, which was revealed to be Cantharis vesicatoria. Conclusion From the results of this study, it was evident that the proving of Cantharis vesicatoria 30CR produced symptomatology that was sufficiently characteristic to enable the researcher to correctly identify the remedy. The repertorial and materia medica comparisons to the existing materia medica of Cantharis vesicatoria, however, highlighted several similarities and differences that need to be explored further in order to bridge the observations and questions posed in this study.
Knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of males with regard to medical male circumcision
Authors:   , Khumalo Innocentia Duduzile
Published: October 2021

IntroductionMale circumcision refers to the surgical removal of all or parts of the prepuce of the penis. This procedure is undertaken for religious, cultural, social, hygiene or medical reasons (Maibvise and Mavundla 2013: 139). The number of people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) rose from approximately 8 million in the year 1990 to 33 million infections now. Sub-Saharan Africa is the region in the world most affected by HIV/AIDS with 22.4 million people living with the virus in the year ending 2008 (Naidoo et al. 2012: 2). The use of male and female condoms remains a challenge despite decades of promotion. There is evidence that medical male circumcision (MMC) is effective in preventing HIV sexual transmission. Medical male circumcision is a drive that was initiated by the National Department of Health as a strategy to curb HIV infection in South Africa in 2010. Aim of the Study The purpose of the study was to investigate and describe knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of males with regard to medical male circumcision. Methodology A quantitative descriptive survey research method was used to describe the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of males attending the community health care centers (CHCs) in eThekwini district regarding medical male circumcision. Results Displayed posters motivated 71.4% (n = 329) to have circumcisions. While 65.1% (n = 300) respondents had knowledge about circumcision and HIV, 27.8% (n = 280) perceived that circumcision would interfere with their sexual function and reproduction. A total of 38.8% (n = 179) of respondents indicated that it is good for children to be circumcised. There is a significant positive correlation between age and knowledge (r = 0.135, p = .004). Higher age is correlated with more knowledge. Conclusion This study found that knowledge plays a major role in changing attitudes and perceptions. The more knowledgeable an individual is, the more the chance is of them having a positive attitude towards MMC which could also influence a positive perception of MMC. In order to strengthen male circumcision as an HIV prevention strategy, it is imperative to provide the population that reflected low knowledge and negative attitude with information, education and counselling services. This may help them to change their attitudes and acquire a positive perception of MMC.
New proposals to strengthen the boom of agriculture in Peru: massive use of genetic resources and development of modern breeding programs
Authors: Arbizu C. I. , Blas R. H.
Published: October 2021

Peru is a place with abundant biological resources that should be employed for the benefit of society in general. However, to date, the use of Peruvian plant genetic resources was not fully exploited for the development of improved crops. This work was mostly conducted by the international private sector. The Climate Change Laboratory at Instituto Nacional de Innovación Agraria, and other laboratories at Universidad Nacional José Faustino Sánchez Carrión and Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina together with other research programs of other institutions seek to promote the massive and sustainable use of plant genetic resources maintained in germplasm banks. It is planned to make use of modern molecular and morphological techniques. Moreover, infrastructure and human resources are being improved. As a result, we will be able to maintain the growth of the agricultural activity in Peru in terms of space and time.
Democracy's Capital
Authors: Pearlman Lauren
Published: October 2021

From its 1790 founding until 1974, Washington, D.C.--capital of "the land of the free"--lacked democratically elected city leadership. Fed up with governance dictated by white stakeholders, federal officials, and unelected representatives, local D.C. activists catalyzed a new phase of the fight for home rule. Amid the upheavals of the 1960s, they gave expression to the frustrations of black residents and wrestled for control of their city. Bringing together histories of the carceral and welfare states, as well as the civil rights and Black Power movements, Lauren Pearlman narrates this struggle for self-determination in the nation’s capital. She captures the transition from black protest to black political power under the Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon administrations and against the backdrop of local battles over the War on Poverty and the War on Crime. Through intense clashes over funds and programming, Washington residents pushed for greater participatory democracy and community control. However, the anticrime apparatus built by the Johnson and Nixon administrations curbed efforts to achieve true home rule. As Pearlman reveals, this conflict laid the foundation for the next fifty years of D.C. governance, connecting issues of civil rights, law and order, and urban renewal.

The article discusses topical issues of organizing the functioning of security and alarm systems, CCTV, access control and management systems, which are part of the integrated security system of a penal system facility. The purpose of the study is a substantive analysis of the problems arising in the process of equipping with technical means of security and supervision the control panel for technical means of protection, the premises of the duty-assistant of the head of the colony, the checkpoint for the passage of people, the restricted areas of a penal system facility. The subject of the article is the realized and possible integration links at the software and hardware levels between the security and alarm system, the CCTV system, the access control and management system. The methodological basis of the research was formed by the statistical method, analysis, synthesis, induction, system-structural and formal-logical methods. The conclusions on the need to equip the premises of the duty-assistant to the head of the colony with an automated workstation of the integrated security system have been substantiated; to equip the gates for access to the restricted area with proximity card readers to control an electromechanical lock. In addition, proposals were made on the need of mandatory informing the chief of the guard about the alarming situation arising in the biometric control and access control system at the checkpoint for the passage of people; on the feasibility of considering the possibility of verifying alarming events in the restricted area by installing dome cameras on observation towers. The practical significance of the work results lies in the fact that the conclusions we have declared can be used to reequip integrated security systems used at the penal system facilities. Key words: engineering and technical means of security and supervision, an integrated security system, a security and alarm system, a security television system, a control and access control system, the chief of the guard, an assistant to the head of the colony, security and fire control devices.
Meniere Disease: A Case Report
Authors: Rahmarini Edfina , Hidayati Hanik Badriyah
Published: October 2021

Background: Meniere’s disease is a clinical disorder defined as the idiopathic syndrome of endolymphatic hydrops. Meniere’s disease has a prevalence of about 200 cases per 100,000 people in the United States. Prevalence increases linearly with increasing age, especially over 60 years. Men and women are estimated to be proportional in the number of cases. The etiology of Meniere’s disease is currently known to be caused by intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors. Symptoms of Meniere’s disease include recurrent spontaneous episodic vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, ear fullness, and tinnitus. Treatment of Meniere’s disease can be divided into pharmacological therapy and non-pharmacological therapy. In some cases, complaints can be reduced to 80-90 percent.
Case Report: A woman, aged 65 years, complained of constant ringing in her right ear, feeling full and accompanied by decreased hearing in the right ear, spinning dizziness that is not related to changing position, especially when she is tired, ringing in the ear, a feeling of fullness in the ear since 3 months ago. Head MRI results were normal. The patient was treated with HCT 1×50 mg, prednisone 1×80 mg for 7 days, KSR 3×1 tablet, betahistine 2×24 mg. Patients experience improvement in complaints even though the complaints do not disappear completely
Conclusion: The diagnosis of Meniere’s disease is established by clinical symptoms, namely recurrent spontaneous episodic vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, ear fullness, and tinnitus. Appropriate therapy in Meniere’s disease can reduce complaints and improve the patient’s quality of life.
Mann-Kendall test for Monotonic Trend Analysis of Driving Under Intoxicated (DUI) Arrests in the United States: 1995-2013
Authors: Oluwoye J.O. , Nicolas-Kassama L.F.
Published: October 2021

Drinking under the Influence (DUI) remains to be a public health issue as there has still been a significant number of traffic deaths and injuries due to DUI. Despite the laws enacted and the impacts of DUI highly publicized, the high percentage of people still perceiving DUI as a major personal safety threat furthers the need to review the status of DUIs in this country. There are various agencies in this country that has gathered DUI data in one way or the other. However, making sense of these available information for policy planning purposes on a comprehensive manner remains to be a challenge. It is to this purpose that this study endeavors to review the trends on DUI utilizing existing data gathered by various agencies. Specifically, the objective is to determine whether there has been a statistically significant decrease in the number of DUI arrests from 1995 to 2013. Data on Driving under the Influence (DUI) arrests were drawn from information provided to the Federal Bureau of Investigations’ (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR) from 1995 to 2013. The FBI’s UCR Program is a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort of more than 16,000 in 1995 and in 2013, 18,415 city, university and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes brought to their attention (Federal Bureau of Investigation, Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR), 1995). From 1995 to 2013, the average number of individuals arrested for DUI accounted for 10 percent (14,107,840) of the total arrests in the US. Results revealed during this period; the number of DUI arrests has decreased by 9 percent with an average yearly rate change of 1 percent. The highest increase of the DUI arrests during this period was observed in 1999 with 8 percent, while the highest decrease was observed in 2011 with 14 percent. The year that had the highest number of DUI arrests was in 1999 while the lowest was in 2013. The analysis also revealed that there was a decrease in the total number of DUI arrests from 1995 to 2013 as pointed out by the negative value of the computed Z (Z (S > 0) = -1.77, p = .076). However, there was no statistically significant trend as the normalized test statistic (Z) was less than the critical value (Zα/2 = 1.96) at the level of significance (0.05). The paper concludes that in order to gauge the effectiveness of prevention measures, there is a need to regularly monitor trends in alcohol-impaired driving. There are several approaches adopted by previous studies to examine these trends, which includes onsite surveys of drivers, examination of crash reports and driver’s records. However, developing an approach that utilizes existing sources of data would be the most efficient and effective in terms of time and monetary resources.
Research Knowledge Translation Activities in Africa; An Outlook of the Opportunities and Obstacles

Published: October 2021

Health systems have failed globally to use research evidence optimally in view of ineffective knowledge translation. Knowledge translation is the effective and timely incorporation of evidence-based information into the practices of health professionals to effect optimal health outcomes. With the growing demands on health care resources and accountability, greater emphasis is being placed on generating knowledge that can have a practical impact on decision making. This review gives an outlook of the opportunities and obstacles to knowledge translation in African context. We searched for articles published in English on the World Health Organization website, peer reviewed articles on Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct databases search engines since 2000 in Sub-Saharan Africa A total of 3,020 papers were analyzed and the outcomes reported. The knowledge transfer literature in African countries is widely distributed, problematically diverse and growing. However, significant disparities exist between reports in different countries while there are many settings without published evidence of local knowledge translation. Our review also highlighted the lack of meaningful investment and follow up after research findings. Barriers affecting knowledge translation includes insufficient skills and capacity to conduct knowledge transfer activities, time constraints and a lack of resources. We identified substantial geographical gaps in knowledge translation and evidence that need to boost local research capacities in Africa. Evidence mapping is a useful approach that can assist local decision-making to enhance knowledge transfer into a policy. We recommend the inclusion of knowledge translation advisors who are the advocates of the knowledge translation during protocol development.

Published: October 2021

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the primary etiology of pericardial effusion in patients undergoing percutaneous pericardiocentesis. Possible in-hospital mortality related predictors were also investigated.

Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of the clinical and laboratory features of 268 patients who underwent pericardiocentesis due to moderate to severe pericardial effusion between January 2009 and March 2020.

Results: The patients comprised 57.5% males and 42.5% females with a mean age of 62.3±15.4 years. Cardiac compression was detected in 220 (82.1%) patients, of which 208 (77.6%) were clinically tamponade and 12 (4.5%) were asymptomatic cardiac compression. The most common symptom was dyspnea (58.6%) and 10.8% of patients were asymptomatic. Pericardial fluid was exudate in 235 (87.7%) patients. The most common causes were malignancy (37.3%) followed by idiopathic (22.1%) and iatrogenic (12.7%) causes. The patients with asymptomatic cardiac compression were more likely to have malignant effusion than those with other etiologies (p=0.001). In-hospital mortality developed in 37 (13.8%) patients. The independent predictors of in-hospital mortality were determined as follows; etiology other than infectious or idiopathic (OR = 3.447; 95% CI = 1.266, 9.386; p = 0.015), and receiving antithrombotic therapy (OR = 2.306; 95% CI = 1.078, 4.932; p=0.031).

Conclusion: Malignancy is the most common cause of moderate to severe pericardial effusions. The detection of cardiac compression in asymptomatic patients may be an important indicator of malignancy. Receiving antithrombotic therapy and having a non-idiopathic and non-infectious etiology may be predictors of in-hospital mortality.

Bullying é o fenômeno através uma criança ou um adolescente é de modo sistemático onde é colocado diante de várias ações agressivas (diretamente ou indiretamente), que acontecem sem motivação visível, mas de maneira intencional, praticados por um(a) ou mais agressor(es). Trata-se de ação realizada em grupo tendo como característica desequilibrar o poder e falta de reciprocidade; onde, a vítima não tem mecanismo para que possa impedir e/ou escapar a agressão. O que essencialmente caracteriza essa agressão de outras é a repetição, sistematização e a intencionalidade de provocar prejuízo a alguma pessoa que normalmente é entendido como tem mais fragilidade, sendo difícil conseguir sua defesa ou até mesmo que se reverta esse fato. O bullying é um perigo, uma violência institucional e social, assim como para comportamentos antissociais individuais significando uma maneira de afirmar o poder que se estabelece por meio da agressão.
Estimating cloud condensation nuclei concentrations from CALIPSO lidar measurements
Authors: Choudhury Goutam , Tesche Matthias
Published: October 2021

Abstract. We present a novel methodology to estimate cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations from spaceborne CALIPSO lidar measurements. The algorithm utilizes (i) the CALIPSO-derived backscatter and extinction coefficient, depolarization ratio, and aerosol subtype information, (ii) the normalized volume size distributions and refractive indices from the CALIPSO aerosol model, and (iii) the MOPSMAP optical modelling package. For each CALIPSO height bin, we first select the aerosol-type specific size distribution and then adjust it to reproduce the extinction coefficient derived from the CALIPSO retrieval. The scaled size distribution is integrated to estimate the aerosol number concentration which is then used in the CCN parameterizations to calculate CCN concentrations at different supersaturations. To account for the hygroscopicity of continental and marine aerosols, we use the kappa parameterization and correct the size distributions before the scaling step. We have studied the sensitivity of the thus derived CCN concentration to the effect of variations of the initial size distributions. It is found that the uncertainty associated with the algorithm can range between a factor of 2 and 3. We have also compared our results with the POLIPHON and found comparable results for extinction coefficients larger than 0.05 km−1. An initial application to a case with coincident airborne in-situ measurements for independent validation shows promising results and illustrates the potential of CALIPSO for constructing a global height-resolved CCN climatology.

Abstract. Coastal vegetation has been increasingly recognized as an effective buffer against wind waves. Recent laboratory studies have considered realistic
vegetation traits and hydrodynamic conditions, which advanced our understanding of the wave dissipation process in vegetation (WDV) in field
conditions. In intertidal environments, waves commonly propagate into vegetation fields with underlying tidal currents, which may alter the WDV
process. A number of experiments addressed WDV with following currents, but relatively few experiments have been conducted to assess WDV with
opposing currents. Additionally, while the vegetation drag coefficient is a key factor influencing WDV, it is rarely reported for combined
wave–current flows. Relevant WDV and drag coefficient data are not openly available for theory or model development. This paper reports a unique
dataset of two flume experiments. Both experiments use stiff rods to mimic mangrove canopies. The first experiment assessed WDV and drag
coefficients with and without following currents, whereas the second experiment included complementary tests with opposing currents. These two
experiments included 668 tests covering various settings of water depth, wave height, wave period, current velocity and vegetation density. A
variety of data, including wave height, drag coefficient, in-canopy velocity and acting force on mimic vegetation stem, are recorded. This dataset
is expected to assist future theoretical advancement on WDV, which may ultimately lead to a more accurate prediction of wave dissipation capacity of
natural coastal wetlands. The dataset is available from figshare with clear instructions for reuse (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.13026530.v2, Hu
et al., 2020). The current dataset will expand with additional WDV data from ongoing and planned observation in natural mangrove wetlands.

TANGGUNG JAWAB HUKUM PENGELOLA HUNIAN TERHADAP PENGAWASAN IZIN TINGGAL WARGA NEGARA ASING DI WILAYAH HUNIAN APARTEMEN
Authors: Laela Sofa , Rakasiwi Galih
Published: October 2021

Pemenuhan kebutuhan tempat tinggal bagi warga negara asing di Indonesia, bukan hanya terbatas pada rumah yang ada di atas tanah melainkan juga rumah tinggal yang beraturan seperti apartemen. Dalam rangka fungsi pengawasan terhadap keberadaan WNA di Indonesia yang tinggal di apartemen, diperlukan peran serta pengelola hunian apartemen dalam membantu pemerintah dengan memberikan laporan atas keberadaan mereka. Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana tanggung jawab hukum pengelola hunian dalam melaporkan keberadaan WNA yang tinggal di hunian apartemen dan bagaimana sanksi hukum bagi pengelola hunian apartemen yang tidak melaporkan keberadaan WNA yang tinggal di hunian apartemen. Pendekatan masalah dalam penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode pendekatan yuridis normatif dan empiris. Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa mekanisme dari pengaturan pengelolaan izin tinggal terhadap warga negara asing di hunian apartemen dijalankan dengan aturan yang sudah dibuat sendiri oleh pengelola hunian apartemen akan tetapi masih harus berkoordinasi dengan instansi terkait yaitu perusahaan tempat orang asing bekerja dan juga dengan pemerintah setempat khususnya pihak keimigrasian. Sedangkan mengenai sanksi bagi pihak pengelola hunian apartemen yang tidak melaporkan keberadaan WNA yang tinggal di hunian apartemennya telah diatur dalam Pasal 117 Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2011 tentang keimigrasian.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNER CONCEPT FOR THE UTILIZATION OF THE INDONESIAN-NETHERLANDS TAX TREATY
Authors: Ardiansyah Ardiansyah
Published: October 2021

The Indonesia-Netherlands Tax Treaty is widely used by multinational corporations to avoid tax. The most crucial matter is how to determine the beneficial owner status, which is one of the requirements in the use of the Tax Treaty between Indonesia and the Netherlands. The main issue that becomes a problem is that the definition of beneficial owner is not clearly regulated in the Tax Treaty between Indonesia and the Netherlands. Therefore, disputes regarding the determination of the beneficial owner often occur. The attitude of judges in Indonesia on this matter is inconsistent. In certain decisions, the judge uses the principle of Substance Over Form and overrides formal evidence in the form of a Domicile Certificate. However, in another decision, the judge views the Domicile Certificate (SKD) as a reference without considering substantive facts. In another ruling, the judge used Dutch law to determine the beneficial owner status and override domestic legal provisions.
