Bone mineral density in young Chilean patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Mosso Constanza , Hodgson María Isabel , Ortiz Tamara , Reyes Maria Loreto
Published: April 2016

In this study, our aim was to analyze bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and compare them with a healthy reference population; in addition, we aimed to observe the association between BMD and the following variables: age at onset, disease duration, metabolic control, pubertal stage, level of physical activity, clinical parameters and nutrient intake.

A total of 30 patients with T1DM were included in the study. BMD was determined using dual-energy X-ray densitometry (DXA). Participants with a z-score of values ≥–1 were accepted as normal; BMDs between –2 and –1 were defined as being in the low range of normality; ≤–2 were defined as having low BMD. The 25-hydroxy vitamin D level was classified as sufficient (30–100 ng/mL), insufficient (20–30 ng/mL), and deficient (<20 ng/mL).

The percentages of patients with deficient and insufficient 25(OH) vitamin D levels were 50% and 45.8%, respectively. Lumbar spine (LS2–LS4) BMD, total body (TB) BMD and femoral neck (FN) BMD were found in the normal range for more than 80% of the subjects, with no significant differences due to gender. No strong correlations between clinical variables, biochemical parameters and nutrient intake were observed; however, a moderate positive correlation was found between serum calcium and LS2–LS4 BMD (p<0.05). Regression analysis showed that serum calcium, duration of diabetes and intake of sodium and protein are significant factors in determining LS2–LS4 BMD and TB BMD.

Patients with T1DM had a normal mean BMD at all sites evaluated, except for two patients who had low BMD at the lumbar spine. More than 95% of patients had insufficient or deficient vitamin D levels. With respect to all the variables studied, serum calcium presented the highest significant correlation with LS2–LS4 BMD.

Authors: Menon Prema , Dayal Devi , Rao Suhitha G. , Bhattacharya Anish , Narasimha Rao Katragadda Lakshmi
Published: April 2016

Primary hyperparathyroidism is very rare in children and adolescents. The management of a 12-year-old boy with renal calculi due to parathyroid adenoma is discussed. The single tumor after localization with sestamibi scintigraphy and SPECT-CT scan was excised with amelioration of symptoms. The case is reported due to the rarity of the disease and successful unilateral exploration. The association with hypopigmented areas of skin has also not been previously reported in literature.
Exploring Information Seeking Anxiety among Research Students in Pakistan
Authors: Naveed Muhammad Asif
Published: April 2016

This study explored information seeking anxiety among 31 Pakistani university research students using the critical incident technique. Face to face interviews were conducted for data collection by visiting the participants in their departments. The results indicated that information seeking anxiety among Pakistani research students manifested in eight dimensions, namely: (a) procedural anxiety, (b) information overload, (c) resource anxiety, (d) library anxiety, (e) competence anxiety, (f) ICT anxiety, (g) language anxiety, and (h) thematic anxiety. These participants also exhibited certain avoidance behaviours, search avoidance, task avoidance, and even research avoidance, along with inferiority complex. The results provided useful insights that could be used as a guide by information professionals, especially those engaged in managing information literacy instruction. In addition, this research would make a worthwhile contribution to the existing research on information behaviour in general and information seeking anxiety in particular.
Overview of Segregated Development in South Africa and Its Implications in the Provision of School Libraries
Authors: Jiyane Glenrose , Fombad Madeleine , Mugwisi Tinashe
Published: April 2016

Prior to1994, South Africa’s education system was influenced by racial dynamics which had implications for the development, provision and distribution of human, financial and material resources. This paper presents the overview of segregated development in South Africa and its implications for the provision of school libraries, to support teaching and learning in selected schools in KwaZulu-Natal. It sets out to describe the understanding and the extent of segregated development in the provision of library resources at Gilonki Secondary school and to establish the perceptions of educators and school management for the importance of teaching and learning. This paper seeks to establish the policies/measures which were being put in place to redress these anomalies. Furthermore, this paper observes that development was retarded as evidenced by the poor provision of important resources such as school library services, resulting in poor learner performance, limited ability to excel in reading and mathematics, lack of appropriate study areas, and difficulties in providing extended tasks on class exercises, among other factors. The study concludes that segregated development has had negative implications for the provision of school libraries, and subsequently for the teachers’ and learners’ performances. The study recommends a swift rolling-out of processes to redress challenges of the past.

Read by Touch: Stewarding the Reading and Writing Collection at the Perkins School for the Blind
Authors: Stothert-Maurer Molly , Arnott Jennifer , Hale Jennifer
Published: April 2016

This article traces the history of books, and reading and writing technology, for the blind through an analysis of collections held in the Perkins School for the Blind Archives in Watertown, Massachusetts. These collections include books using embossed text and braille as well as raised figures and other writing systems. The confusion created by competing systems in the United States, especially with regard to Helen Keller’s education, is also considered. The authors establish that if we are to preserve such special collections, we must have an understanding and appreciation of their history and use. The goal of this article is to share information on the challenges of and solutions for preserving and digitizing embossed materials for other archivists and librarians who may have stewardship over similar collections, and to educate readers on how these materials might be used to study the history of reading and writing technology, especially those created for use by the blind.
AERI as a Catalyst for Archival Doctoral Education
Authors: Buchanan Sarah A.
Published: April 2016

The Archival Education & Research Institutes (AERI) have created a generation of scholars more engaged with research in archives and information than ever before. AERI has fostered international collaborations and collegiality among emerging and established scholars of archival studies since 2009. Members of the community have been successful and have shared in the success of others, and this interconnectivity has raised the caliber and expanded the impact of archival scholarship. This essay, drawing on the author’s experiences, discusses how three components of the AERI program have catalyzed doctoral education in archival studies: scholarship, community, and pedagogy.

Published: April 2016

Irradiation of natural thorium with medium-energy protons is considered to be a prospective approach to large-scale production of225Ac and223Ra. In addition to the earlier-developed method of225Ac isolation, the present work focuses on the simultaneous recovery of.223Ra from the same thorium target. Radiochemical procedure is based on liquid-liquid extraction, cation exchange and extraction chromatography. The procedure provides separation of radium from spallation and fission products generated in the thorium target. High chemical yield (85– 90%) and radionuclide purity of223Ra (> 99.8% except224Raand225Ra isotopes) have been achieved.

Published: April 2016

In this study the sorption of cesium was investigated on four different minerals; quartz, plagioclase, potassium feldspar
and biotite as well as granodiorite obtained from the Grimsel test site in Switzerland. The experiments were conducted in
the presence of the weakly saline Grimsel groundwater simulant by determining the distribution coefficients using batch
sorption experiments and PHREEQC-modelling across a large concentration range. In addition, the purity of the minerals was
measured by XRD and the specific surface areas by BET method using krypton. The distribution coefficients of cesium were
largest on biotite (0.304 ± 0.005 m3/kg in 10
–8 M). Furthermore, the sorption of cesium on
quartz was found to be negligibly small in all investigated concentrations and the sorption of cesium on potassium
feldspar and plagioclase showed similar behavior against a concentration isotherm with distribution coefficients of
0.0368 ± 0.0004 m3/kg and 0.18 ± 0.04 m3/kg in 10
–8 M. Finally,
cesium sorption behavior on crushed granodiorite followed the trend of one of its most abundant mineral, plagioclase with
distribution coefficient values of 0.107 ± 0.003 m3/kg in 10
–8 M. At low concentrations
(< 1.0 · 10
–6 M) cesium was sorbed on the frayed edge sites of biotite and once these sites are
fully occupied cesium sorbs additionally to the Type II and Planar sites. As a consequence, the sorption of cesium on
biotite is decreased at concentrations > 1.0 · 10
–6 M. Secondly cesium sorption on potassium
feldspar and plagioclase showed similar non-linear behavior with varying concentration. The results were used to assist
the interpretation of cesium diffusion process in the 2.5 year in-situ experiment carried out in the
underground laboratory at Grimsel test site in Switzerland (2007–2009).
The social, political and economic changes in the Western Balkans: Managing diversity
Authors: Sela Ylber , Maksuti Bekim
Published: April 2016

This paper gives a retrospective of the events in the Balkans in the last 20 years. Hence, it indicates the problems, the progress and the challenges in terms of respecting and promoting diversity. The Western Balkans has always been a very interesting region with many challenges during different historical periods. If we take into consideration all the differences and diversities in this region, then this shouldn’t strike us as surprising. During history the Balkan region has always been a crossroads of many events, conflicts, changes and destructive occurrences. In order to understand the connection between ethnic and the religious diversity, as well as the future of the Western Balkan countries in terms of Euro-Atlantic integration, we need to provide some information about the political, economic and social changes in these countries during the past, especially in the last two decades.

To get a better understanding of all the processes and events we need to take a look at the 90s of the last century. This period was one of the most important turning points in international relations. By the end of the Cold War there were two blocks within the societies – The Western (capitalist) and the Eastern (communist), and an agreement for the Balkans to be a balance between these two blocks. This fact was important for the promotion of the concept of the nation-state, which refers generally to both of the blocks. However, changes such as the dissolution and breakdown of the USSR and Yugoslavia, as well as the official Eastern bloc fiasco, brought an increase in the individual identity of the citizens living in these countries.

This was the beginning of a new era to be characterized by conflicts, wars, refugees, humanitarian crises, a large number of casualties and injured people, because of the idea that the emerging countries, especially from the Balkan region, should be nation-state countries, i.e. composed of a nation thereby ignoring the ethnic and religious differences or the unrecognized diversity of the citizens of different ethnic groups living in these countries.

The establishment of the Euro-Atlantic integration concept as a key national and state priority of almost every country in this region led to the understanding of differences as an asset, and not as an obstacle for the faster integration to the EU and NATO. This fact undoubtedly contributed to the establishment of the criteria for membership, and in particular to the promotion of the rights and freedoms of minorities as most important for the integration process.
Population aging in Albanian post-socialist society: Implications for care and family life
Authors: Meçe Merita
Published: April 2016

Population aging is becoming an inevitable phenomenon in Albanian post-socialist society, posing multi-faceted challenges to its individuals, families and society as a whole. Since 1991, the Albanian population has been exposed to intensive demographic changes caused by unintended aspects of socio-economic transition from a planned socialist economy to a market-oriented capitalist one (Hoff, 2008). Ongoing processes of re-organization of social institutions increased its socio-economic insecurity leading to the application of various coping mechanisms. While adjusting themselves to other aspects of life, people changed their decisions of having children and leaving the country (Hoff, 2008). On the other hand, replacement of former traditional extended family forms with diverse living arrangements and family structures has been the outcome of the combination of three factors: falling fertility, increasing life expectancy and increasing migration (INSTAT, 2014).

However, family remains the basic social unit that provides support, care and protection for its old members even though its capacities are diminishing. Family Life Cycle Theory views family development as a series of stages where family members deal with various developmental tasks and play different roles as they move from one stage to another.

This paper examines population aging in Albanian post-socialist society (after 1990). Based on Family Life Cycle Theory and Family Development Theory, it reviews literature and uses secondary data to discuss its implications for elderly care and family life. It concludes that population aging requires better understanding of this process in order to facilitate a series of family adaptations to respond to the changing needs of its elderly members.
The influence of canon law on ius commune in its formative period
Authors: Mehmeti Sami
Published: April 2016

In the Medieval period, Roman law and canon law formed ius commune or the common European law. The similarity between Roman and canon law was that they used the same methods and the difference was that they relied on different authoritative texts. In their works canonists and civilists combined the ancient Greek achievements in philosophy with the Roman achievements in the field of law. Canonists were the first who carried out research on the distinctions between various legal sources and systematized them according to a hierarchical order. The Medieval civilists sought solutions in canon law for a large number of problems that Justinian’s Codification did not hinge on or did it only superficially. Solutions offered by canon law were accepted not only in the civil law of Continental Europe, but also in the English law.
Soziologie der Bewegung. Eine praxeologische Perspektive auf globalisierte Bewegungs-Kulturen / Sociology of Movement. A Practice-Theoretical Perspective on Globalized Movement Cultures
Authors: Klein Gabriele
Published: April 2016

Körperliche Bewegung beschreibt einen elementaren Zugang des Menschen zur Welt - und die­ser war und ist kulturell und sozial different. Geschlechter- oder Jugendkulturen, altersspezifische, ethnische oder klassenspezifische Kulturen beispielsweise sind zugleich Produzenten und Effekte unterschiedlicher Bewegungspraktiken und Bewegungsordnungen. Unterschiedliche Lebensstilmu­ster korrespondieren mit entsprechenden Bewegungsmustern. In globalisierten und medialisierten Gesellschaften haben sich Bewegungspraktiken (wie asiatische Körperbewusstseins- und Medita­tionstechniken), kulturelle Tanzformen (z. B. Tango, Salsa, Disco, Ballett) und kulturspezifische Sportarten (z. B. Fußball, Kampfsport, Surfen, Snowboard) weltweit verbreitet. Gemeinhin wird die Globalisierung von Bewegungspraktiken entweder als eine weltweite Homogenisierung oder als eine lokale Differenzierung gedeutet. Wie sich aber dieser Prozess vollzieht und wie die Praktiken des kul­turellen Übersetzens von Bewegung beschreibbar sind, bleibt dabei häufig ausgeblendet. Der Beitrag will der Frage des Wie nachgehen und entwirft anhand des Konzeptes der kultuellen Übersetzung eine praxistheoretische Perspektive auf den globalen Transfer von Bewegungspraktiken. An ausge­wählten Beispielen wird ein praxistheoretischer Zugang auf kulturelle Übersetzungen von Bewegung skizziert.
FUScinating insights into motor neuron degeneration
Authors: Dormann Dorothee
Published: April 2016

Point mutations in FUS cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a devastating neurodegenerative disease—but do they do that by a loss of the protein's normal function, or by endowing it with novel toxic functions, or both? In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Scekic‐Zahirovic et al () report that mutant FUS, but not the complete loss of FUS, triggers motor neuron degeneration in mice, arguing for a toxic gain‐of‐function mechanism.
La educación democrática en el contexto de la deliberación y el agonismo político
Authors: Caro Arroyo Sergio Luis
Published: April 2016

El propósito central de este artículo consiste enrealizar una exploración crítica de la idea de educación democrática. La tesis que se defiende afirma que existe una relación de complementariedad entre los modelos deliberativo y agonista de la democracia, defendidos por Amy Gutmann y Chantal Mouffe, que permite una comprensión de la educación que satisface las exigencias morales que deben integrar una concepción democrática de ciudadanía. El texto inicia con un planteamiento acerca de la relación entre política y educación; seguidamente, se exponen los enfoques agonal y deliberativo de la política en la interpretación de la democracia, para finalmente identificar los puntos de intersección entre ambos modelos y proponer algunas líneas de reflexión en torno a la comprensión la ciudadanía y la praxis de la formación ciudadana.
Herencias coloniales y violencia simbólica en el conflicto armado peruano.
Authors: Serra David Jonathan
Published: April 2016

El objetivo de esta articulo es evidenciar el papel que tuvieron algunas herencias coloniales en el surgimiento y desarrollo del conflicto armado peruano (1978 y 2000). En particular se intentará emprender un recorrido histórico, filosófico y antropológico que, matizando la historia de las ideas y del imaginario colonial, pueda contribuir a dilucidar el papel de algunas categorías simbólicas, como el proceso de deshumanización y degradación de las poblaciones indígenas y autóctonas, que en concomitancia con la organización política, social y sobre todo territorial impuestas por los conquistadores en el continente, tuvieron un rol determinante tanto en el surgimiento como en el desarrollo del conflicto armado peruano.
La teología política. Un acercamiento a la teología fundamental de J. B. Metz.
Authors: Mejía Góez Álvaro
Published: April 2016

Como tarea esencial la teología fundamental debe “dar razón de la esperanza” y como elemento base, que cualquier teólogo fundamental debe asumir como punto de partida, está la Revelación. También es claro que este mensaje que la revelación nos trasmite, se ha presentado con distintos matices de acuerdo con la época y con las características históricas de cada autor. Entendemos, entonces, que el esfuerzo de la teología manualística respondió a las necesidades de su época; pero que en el devenir histórico se fue superando una manera particular de entender la revelación y el dogma; de allí se comprenden los avances que en esta disciplina se lograron a partir del Concilio Vaticano II, sobre todo por la manera de abordar el tema de la Revelación en la constitución dogmática Dei Verbum.

Educación integral en Santo Tomás de Aquino
Authors: Reyes Calderón Jaime Ricardo
Published: April 2016

El presente ensayo quiere volver los pasos de la reflexión educativa sobre una fuente fundamental en la historia de la filosofía de la educación: el planteamiento de Santo Tomás de Aquino. Quien constituye un avance formidable en la evolución del concepto acerca de lo humano, superando una tradición neoplatónica que había desvirtuado la realidad humana y también el horizonte de salvación religiosa cristiana. Con Santo Tomás se desarrolla un criterio diferenciador y crítico de lo educativo: el concepto de educación integral.

María, maestra de vida consagrada
Authors: Gelabert Ballester Martín
Published: April 2016

Aprovechando el año de la vida consagrada proclamado por el Papa Francisco y el 50 aniversario de la proclamación del decreto sobre la vida religiosa del Concilio Vaticano II, este artículo se pregunta en qué medida María puede ser modelo para las personas consagradas y en qué medida no. El celibato es esencial a la vida religiosa. María no era célibe; pero puede ser modelo y maestra en algo esencial a toda vida consagrada: la escucha de la Palabra de Dios acogida por la fe. Y también puede ser modelo y maestra de la maternidadpaternidad- fraternidad que Cristo ensalza; así como del nuevo tipo de familia que Jesús vino a fundar.

María y la vida consagrada
Authors: Serrano Ursúa Félix Javier
Published: April 2016

El texto que se presenta es una contribución parcial, aunque significativa, de lo que representa María para los consagrados. Se han analizado más de 100 documentos de la vida consagrada provenientes del Vaticano II, del Magisterio Pontificio y de la Congregación para los Institutos de vida consagrada y las Sociedades de vida apostólica (Aparicio, 2009)1, además de las Conferencias Generales del Episcopado Latinoamericano (Consejo Episcopal Latinoamericano, 2014).

El universo de estudio, sin embargo, es mucho más amplio. Si quisiéramos formarnos una visión global del significado de María para los religiosos deberíamos acercarnos a la manera en que los Fundadores y las mismas Ordenes y Congregaciones religiosas han visto a María (De Cándico & Pardilla, 2001) y cómo las Constituciones antiguas y renovadas (De Cándido & Pardilla, 2004) reflejan esa percepción, además de tomar en consideración las reflexiones específicas de cada institución sobre su posición mariana.

Evolution of Schooling Behavior in Threespine Sticklebacks Is Shaped by theEdaGene
Authors: Greenwood Anna K , Mills Margaret G , Wark Abigail R , Archambeault Sophie L , Peichel Catherine L
Published: April 2016

Despite longstanding interest in the genetic mechanisms that underlie behavioral evolution, very few genes that underlie naturally occurring variation in behavior between individuals or species are known, particularly in vertebrates. Here, we build on our previous forward genetic mapping experiments and use transgenic approaches to identify Ectodysplasin as a gene that causes differences in schooling behavior between wild populations of threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) fish. This work provides rare insight into the proximate mechanisms that have shaped the evolution of vertebrate behavior.
Pusiausvyros siekis Arvydo Šliogerio filosofijoje
Authors: Kučinskas Justas , Kardelis Naglis
Published: April 2016

Straipsnyje keliama hipotezė, kad Arvydo Šliogerio filosofijai yra būdingas pusiausvyros tarp diametraliai priešingų žmogaus prigimties impulsų ir pačią tikrovę konstituojančių bei radikaliai poliarizuojančių sandų, atskleidžiamų egzistencinės patirties ir filosofinio mąstymo, siekis. Teigiama, kad ši hipotezė leidžia geriau paaiškinti pamatines Šliogerio filosofijos nuostatas, filosofinę minties ekonomiją ir filosofavimo motyvus. Mokslinio tyrimo, kurio rezultatai pateikiami šiame straipsnyje, naujumą lemia ta aplinkybė, kad pusiausvyros siekis Šliogerio veikaluose nėra diskursyviai ir konceptualiai eksplikuotas paties autoriaus – jis išryškėja tik atlikus nuodugnią ir daugiapakopę šio mąstytojo tekstų analizę. Straipsnio autorių požiūriu, pusiausvyra, Arvydo Šliogerio filosofijoje netiesiogiai pasirodanti įvairiais turinio ir formos aspektais, dažniausiai iškyla kaip tai, ko šis mąstytojas siekia ir linki kiekvienam mąstančiajam ar net apskritai kiekvienam mirtingajam. Kartu akcentuojama, jog ir pats Šliogerio mąstymas skleidžiasi įvairiomis skirtingai temizuotomis pusiausvyros struktūromis. Analizuojant, kaip ir tarp kokių duočių Šliogerio filosofijoje nusistovi pusiausvyra, rekonstruojamas vientisas šios filosofijos vaizdas, leidžiantis atpažinti du chronologiškai ir konceptualiai išsiskiriančius jos etapus.
Argumentacija, R. Pavilionio prasmės kontinuumas ir virtuvės diskusija
Authors: Lisanyuk Elena
Published: April 2016

Straipsnyje pateikiamas loginis-kognityvinis požiūris į argumentaciją ir teigiama, kad argumentacija suponuoja, jog į ją įsitraukę protingi veikėjai pasižymi kognityvine įvairove. Autorės prieiga leidžia įvesti skirtis tarp pagrindimo, įtikinimo ir įkalbėjimo kaip skirtingų argumentacijos rūšių. Pagrindimo atveju veikėjai siekia verifikuoti savo pozicijos dialoge stiprų arba silpną koherentiškumą. Įtikinimo atveju veikėjų tikslas yra pakeisti parnerių poziciją įrodant savosios pozicijos silpną ar stiprų įtikimumą idealizuoto „racionalaus teisėjo“ akivaizdoje. Autorės prieiga pasitelkia P. M. Dungo abstrakčių argumentacinių struktūrų versiją. Ji paremta St. Sticho kognityvinės įvairovės idėja, kurios episteminis aspektas yra artimas R. Pavilionio prasmės kontinuumo koncepcijai. Dėstomas požiūris iliustruojamas pavyzdžiu, paremtu virtuvės diskusija, vykusia tarp N. Chruščiovo ir R. Niksono 1959 metais.

Human Rights in Indonesian Constitutional Amendments. Indonesian constitutional amendments incorporated human rights principles into the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia 1945 (UUD NRI), especially in the second amendment in 2000. Under that amendment, the UUD NRI currently stipulates human rights principles as provided for in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). However, there are some important notes, which at its core is a lack of emphasis on the vision and mission of the State in implementing human rights in Indonesia, as well as the existence of gaps between the norms of the Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. DOI: 10.15408/jch.v1i1.2987

Abstract: Democracy and Governance in Village and City Council. Regional autonomy implemented in autonomous region means that every region has its own autonomy in administrating its own governance and to create centre of autonomy throughout the region. This condition is in favour to public’s control towards regional administration and for regional government is to make them easier to decide public services for the society. In addition, the another advantages is to make public services can be attained in the closest level to the public, in politic, economic, general education, culture, security and to increase public participation to mutual progress Abstrak: Demokrasi dan Tata Pemerintahan Dalam Konsep Desa dan Kelurahan. Otonomi daerah dalam bentuk daerah otonom memiliki daerah yang mandiri dalam mengurus pemerintahannya sendiri dan menjadikan pusat-pusat kekuasaan negara tersebar luas di seluruh wilayah negara. Kondisi seperti ini akan kondusif bagi pengendalian proses penyelenggaraan pemerintahan daerah oleh rakyat, dan bagi pemerintah daerah akan mempermudah penentuan berbagai pelayanan publik yang tepat dan cepat. Di samping itu, manfaat yang lain adalah adanya pemerataan pelayanan publik oleh pemerintah pusat maupun daerah, pemerataan pengembangan masyarakat dalam semua aspek kehidupan, baik politik, ekonomi, pendidikan, hukum, budaya, maupun keamanan serta peningkatan partisipasi politik masyarakat untuk kemajuan bersama. DOI: 10.15408/jch.v1i2.2633

Abstrak: Kedudukan Musyawarah dan Demokrasi di Indonesia. Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia (NKRI) berdasarkan lintasan sejarah perjuangan, memiliki konstruksi kenegaraan satu-satunya di dunia yang bangsa terlahir dahulu, kemudian baru membentuk negara. Presiden pertama Republik Indonesia Ir. Soekarno menegaskan, bahwa Negara Kesatuan ialah Negara Kebangsaan. Tujuan Bangsa Indonesia terlahir, merdeka, dan membentuk negara memiliki satu cita-cita, Kehendak Untuk Mengangkat Harkat dan Martabat Hidup Rakyat Indonesia (Kedaulatan Rakyat Indonesia). Melalui analisis atas realitas kehidupan saat ini, Bangsa Indonesia telah hidup pada kondisi tatanan kehidupan seolah-olah sama dengan Negara Demokrasi, ialah negara dulu terbentuk baru bangsanya dilahirkan kemudian. Sehingga kedaulatan rakyat Indonesia yang berdasarkan prinsip musyawara-mufakat dan perwakilan belum mampu terealisasi. Sementara pelaksanaan demokrasi voting yang memiliki dasar liberalisme terus bergulir, sehingga kehidupan bangsa Indonesia semakin jauh dari cita-cita awal. DOI: 10.15408/jch.v1i2.2657

Abstract: Commission of Eradication Corruption Efforts in Handling Gayus Tambunan”s Corruption Case. Law enforcement on Corruption Case has drived public attention, one of these case is Gayus Tambunan’s case. From that case, it is clearly seen that corruption can be done collectively within an institution that protect this criminal act. This case also implicated law enforcer who supposed to be a front liner in combating corruption case. In contrary, Law enforcer has made this case even harder to be resolved. Finally, the corruption is an extra ordinary crime which is conducted in organised and systematic by the white collar crime. Abstrak: Upaya Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) Dalam Menangani Kasus Korupsi Gayus Tambunan. Penegakan terhadap kasus korupsi menjadi sesuatu yang banyak mencuri perhatian di masyarakat luas. Hal ini terlihat dari mencuatnya pengungkapan kasus korupsi pajak yang didalangi oleh Gayus Tambunan. Dari kasus tersebut, dapat terlihat secara jelas bagaimana praktik korupsi dilakukan secara bersama-sama dalam sebuah organisasi yang melindungi praktik tersebut. Kasus ini sangat menarik karena tidak dilakukan oleh satu orang saja tetapi dilakukan oleh para penegak hukum yang seharusnya menjadi garda terdepan dalam pemberantasan korupsi. Anehnya adalah jalinan organisasi ini terus ditutup-tutupi oleh penegak hukum sendiri sehingga sangat sulit untuk dibongkar. Akhirnya, korupsi adalah kejahatan yang luar biasa dan dilakukan secara terorganisir dan sistematis oleh para pelaku kerah putih. DOI: 10.15408/jch.v1i2.2999
Revised WIC Food Package and Children’s Diet Quality
Authors: Tester June M. , Leung Cindy W. , Crawford Patricia B.
Published: April 2016

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

In October 2009, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infant, and Children (WIC) food package was revised to include more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lower-fat milk. We examined the impact of the WIC food package revisions on the diet quality of children in households using WIC.

METHODS:

A total of 1197 children aged 2 to 4 years from low-income households were studied from before and after the policy implementation (using the 2003–2008 and 2011–2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey). The Healthy Eating Index–2010 (HEI-2010) was calculated using two 24-hour diet recalls. Linear regression was used to examine the difference in HEI-2010 score attributable to the food package change, adjusting for baseline and secular trends among WIC participants and nonparticipants, as well as child and household characteristics. Component scores of the HEI-2010 index were analyzed with generalized linear models.

RESULTS:

Average HEI-2010 scores for participants and nonparticipants were 52.4 and 50.0 at baseline, and 58.3 and 52.4 after the policy change, respectively. The WIC food package revisions were associated with an adjusted average of 3.7 additional HEI-2010 points (95% confidence interval, 0.6–6.9) for WIC participants compared with nonparticipants. In particular, the revisions were associated with a 3.4-fold relative increase (95% confidence interval, 1.3–9.4) in the Greens and Beans component score for WIC participants compared with nonparticipants.

CONCLUSIONS:

Results from this national sample indicate that the WIC food package revisions were associated with higher diet quality for children participating in WIC.

The results of radar-tracking supervisions over the night migration in Israel are submitted. The determination of flight altitudes, flight speeds, heights of maximum birds’ concentration, and migratory directions was performed. The average flight altitudes of night migration were 985 m in autumn and 1465 m in spring of 1998-2000, maximum flight altitudes were 2068 m and 2655 m correspondingly. The mean track direction of the night bird migration is 183° in spring and 6° in autumn. The migration of waterfowl over the Mediterranean Sea in the low altitude band was registered. Their average headings differ from the general migratory path, averaging 135° in autumn and 315° in spring. The average birds’ groundspeed was 14 m/s (50 km/h) in spring and 13 m/s (47 km/h) in autumn.

Key words: Israel, radar, nocturnal bird migration.
Emission Color Tuning of Ge Nanoparticles in the Ranging from UV through Visible to near-IR
Authors: Shirahata Naoto
Published: April 2016

This paper presents that the fine tuning of efficient fluorescence emission in a very wide range of wavelength from near-UV through visible to near-IR by control over size, structural phase, and surface of germanium nanoparticles (Ge NPs). To achieve this, we prepared two parent samples composed of NPs with different emission photon energies, and separated the NPs by emission color through a combinatorial column techniques. In the NPs obtained by the separation, the spectral line widths of each emission became very narrow. Furthermore, the absolute fluorescence quantum yields for each emission were high enough for the industrial use of fluorescence labeling tags. Another scientific impact is the finding of new family of luminescent Ge, that is, the NPs emitting the lights in the violet and green-gap wavelength regions, respectively. It is commonly believed that a broad spectral line width frequently observed from Ge NP appears due to an indirect bandgap nature inherited even in nanostructures, but the present study provides obvious experimental evidences that a broad luminescence spectrum is expressed as ensemble of different spectral lines, and can be separated into the fractions emitting the lights in each wavelength region by the appropriate post-synthetic process.
Excitation-Wavelength Dependent and Time-Resolved Photoluminescence Studies of Europium Doped GaN Grown by Interrupted Growth Epitaxy (IGE)

Published: April 2016

The emission properties of Eu doped GaN thin films prepared by interrupted growth epitaxy (IGE) were investigated through excitation-wavelength dependent and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) studies. Under above-gap excitation (333-363 nm) large differences were observed in the Eu3+ PL intensity and spectral features as a function of Ga shutter cycling time. The overall strongest red Eu3+ PL intensity was obtained from a sample grown with a Gashutter cycling time of 20 minutes. The main Eu3+ emission line originating from 5D0→ 7F2 transition was composed of two peaks located at 620 nm and 622 nm, which varied in relative intensity depending on the growth conditions. The room-temperature emission lifetimes of the samples were non-exponential and varied from ∼50 νs to ∼200 νs (1/e lifetimes). Under resonant excitation at 471 nm (7F0→5D2) all samples exhibited nearly identical PL spectra independent of Ga shutter cycling time. Moreover, the Eu3+ PL intensities and lifetimes varied significantly less compared to above-gap excitation. The excitation wavelengths dependent PL results indicate the existence of different Eu3+ centers in GaN: Eu, which can be controlled by the Ga shutter cycling time.
Chemical Vapor Deposition of Copper for IC Metallization: Precursor Chemistry and Molecular Structure
Authors: Doppelt Pascal , Baum Thomas H.
Published: April 2016

In the microelectronics industry, integrated circuit (IC) device performance is continually increasing while the critical feature sizes are rapidly decreasing. Since this trend is expected to continue for future generations of ICs, areal density constraints often require that circuit designs utilize multilevel structures with vertical interconnects. It was recently demonstrated that the resistivity of the metal interconnects may limit device performance in multilevel thin-film structures. Although Al metallurgy (Al/2 wt.% Cu alloy) is extensively used for IC metallization today, lower resistivity metals, such as gold, copper, and silver may be necessary for designs requiring feature sizes of 0.25 μm or less. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is an attractive technique for the conformal filling of submicron vertical interconnects. For CVD to be generally applicable to IC fabrication, volatile precursors with adequate stability must be designed and optimized. Lastly, IC metallization typically requires that both uniformity and conformality be achieved simultaneously in a single process step.
ECONOMIA CRIATIVA E LIDERANÇA CRIATIVA: UMA ASSOCIAÇÃO (IM) POSSÍVEL?
Authors: Carvalhal Felipe , Muzzio Henrique
Published: April 2016

RESUMO Atuando em uma economia caracterizada por indivíduos criativos, fontes de vantagem competitiva e crescimento nas economias pós-industriais, os líderes das organizações assumem enorme importância no ambiente competitivo atual, tornando-se um diferencial, visto que o estilo de liderar reflete sobre o desempenho da organização. Diante disso, este artigo procurou analisar a liderança exercida por gestores da economia criativa, com vistas à liderança criativa. Especificamente buscou-se conhecer a atuação deles diante dos fatores da liderança criativa e os aspectos da criatividade, além de verificar a relação da criatividade e produtividade com essa liderança. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa de caráter exploratório por meio de estudo de casos múltiplos. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com três gestores da economia criativa na cidade do Recife-PE, Brasil. Foi constatado que os gestores da economia criativa ainda não exercem uma liderança criativa em sua plenitude, mas parece haver um esforço nessa direção, com relevância nos fatores clima, ideias próprias, resiliência e a ativação em rede; enquanto que deve melhorar o comportamento que tangem à plataforma de entendimento, visão compartilhada, e aprendizado vindo da experiência. Observou-se que há uma relação de simultaneidade entre a liderança criativa e uma melhor produtividade, apoio e incentivo à criatividade no ambiente de trabalho, onde o aspecto primordial para as pessoas aflorarem sua criatividade é se sentirem bem no local de trabalho.
