Religião e defesa da paz: poder, justiça e responsabilidade comum / Religion supporting peace: power, justice and common responsibility
Authors: Barros Douglas Ferreira
Published: June 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo debater a relação entre religião e a promoção da paz, à luz de algumas interpretações que, embora distantes do enquadramento estabelecido por Agostinho, ainda exploram aspectos por ele trabalhados. Assim, pretende-se mostrar como as abordagens da paz propostas por Marsílio de Pádua e Hobbes inovam em relação ao filósofo cristão. Pretende-se também apontar que, desde o fim da modernidade, com Kant, até a contemporaneidade, o debate sobre o tema transita da tese da obediência para a de que a paz pressupõe o estabelecimento de novas relações de domínio sobre os homens e destes entre si e com o poder. Como metodologia, utiliza-se a interpretação de textos desses filósofos e de alguns parágrafos da Doutrina Social da Igreja. Concluindo, o estudo propõe que a defesa da paz demanda que ela seja pensada prioritariamente segundo o registro das relações entre os homens, e não necessariamente sob o viés exclusivo da obediência ou da submissão a poderes políticos.
Reflexões acerca da correlação entre Religião e Justiça no mundo contemporâneo |Reflections on the correlation between Religion
Authors: Barsalini Glauco
Published: June 2019

Este texto corresponde à comunicação realizada sobre o tema Religião e Justiça no Colóquio intitulado Religião, Justiça e Paz, promovido pelo Núcleo de Fé e Cultura da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas, nos dias 2 e 3 de maio de 2018. Com atenção ao conceito de religião cunhado pelo sociólogo Émile Durkheim e ao conceito de justiça elaborado pelo jurista Hans Kelsen, procurou-se contextualizar os referidos termos na modernidade e na contemporaneidade, relacionando-os entre si. Aqui, o termo justiça social aparece em destaque na relação que se pode estabelecer entre a teoria atual sobre a justiça, apregoada por Michael J. Sandel, hodierno filósofo estadunidense, e a doutrina social da Igreja Católica, especialmente pelos documentos eclesiásticos Matter et Magistra, de 1961, Pacem in Terris, de 1963, Gaudium et Spes, de 1965, Populorum Progressio, de 1967, e o Documento de Medellin, de 1968. Pretende-se demonstrar como, mesmo no mundo secularizado, a religião ainda se faz presente, inclusive enquanto fundamento das relações sociais e de poder.

Published: June 2019

Mangrove existence is necessary to protect coastal. One method that can be used to keep mangrove existence were using satellite imagery monitoring. The number of bands in the imagery led to the selection for the RGB composite bands was difficult because a lot of combinations to try. One technique that can be done to get the best RGB combination of an object is to use Optimum Index Factor (OIF). OIF is a statistical technique for selecting three combinations of imagery bands to visualize the image display to the fullest. It is based on the value of total variance and the correlation coefficient between the bands. Landsat 8 has 7 bands with 30 m resolution, one panchromatic band with  15 m resolution, and two bands with 100 m resolution. The purpose of this study was to detect true mangrove using three bands from  OIF value of  Landsat 8. The results of the processing from 6 bands (2-7), obtained 20 bands combinations  with the highest value of OIF is 0,168, ie, bands 2-56 (Blue, NIR, SWIR-1). Based on the combination, the next step was unsupervised classification process for true mangrove identification (Rizhopora, Brugueira, Avicennia, Soneratia). The best classification using band combination 2-7 with true mangrove reached 4.041 ha.
IDENTITAS DIASPORIS TIGA GENERASI PEREMPUAN CINA DALAM ONLY A GIRL KARYA LIAN GOUW (Diasporic Identity of Three Generations of Chinese Females in Only A Girl Written by Lian Gouw)
Authors: Asmarani Ratna
Published: June 2019

Identity is crucial in a person’s life. Diasporic identity is much more complicated because it involves at least two cultures. The focus of this paper is to analyze the diasporic identity of three generations of diasporic Chinese females as represented in Lian Gouw’s novel entitled Only a Girl. The data and supporting concepts are compiled using library research and close reading. The qualitative analysis is used to support the contextual literary analysis combining the intrinsic aspect focusing on the female characters and the extrinsic aspects concerning diaspora and identity. The results shows that each Chinese female character has tried to construct her own diasporic identity. However, the social, cultural, political, educational, and economic contexts play a great role in the struggles to construct the diasporic identity. It can be concluded that the younger the generation, the braver their effort to construct their diasporic identity and the braver their decision to take a distance with the big family house eventhough they have to face stronger and more complicated conflicts to realize and actualize their personal construction of diasporic identity.

Authors: Arzi Boaz , Verstraete Frank J. M. , Garcia Tanya C. , Lee Monica , Kim Se Eun , Stover Susan M.
Published: June 2019

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate and quantify the kinematic behavior of canine mandibles before and after bilateral rostral or unilateral segmental mandibulectomy as well as after mandibular reconstruction with a locking reconstruction plate in ex vivo conditions.

SAMPLE

Head specimens from cadavers of 16 dogs (range in body weight, 30 to 35 kg).

PROCEDURE

Specimens were assigned to undergo unilateral segmental (n = 8) or bilateral rostral (8) mandibulectomy and then mandibular reconstruction by internal fixation with locking plates. Kinematic markers were attached to each specimen in a custom-built load frame. Markers were tracked in 3-D space during standardized loading conditions, and mandibular motions were quantified. Differences in mandibular range of motion among 3 experimental conditions (before mandibulectomy [ie, with mandibles intact], after mandibulectomy, and after reconstruction) were assessed by means of repeated-measures ANOVA.

RESULTS

Both unilateral segmental and bilateral rostral mandibulectomy resulted in significantly greater mandibular motion and instability, compared with results for intact mandibles. No significant differences in motion were detected between mandibles reconstructed after unilateral segmental mandibulectomy and intact mandibles. Similarly, the motion of mandibles reconstructed after rostral mandibulectomy was no different from that of intact mandibles, except in the lateral direction.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Mandibular kinematics in head specimens from canine cadavers were significantly altered after unilateral segmental and bilateral rostral mandibulectomy. These alterations were corrected after mandibular reconstruction with locking reconstruction plates. Findings reinforced the clinical observations of the beneficial effect of reconstruction on mandibular function and the need for reconstructive surgery after mandibulectomy in dogs.

Published: June 2019

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate effects of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) inhibitors on the production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) by interferon-γ (IFN-γ)– and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of horses as an in vitro model of inflammation in horses.

SAMPLE

1,440 samples of PBMCs from 6 healthy research horses.

PROCEDURES

From heparinized whole blood samples, PBMC cultures were obtained. An initial dose-response trial on 48 PBMC samples from 2 horses (24 samples each) was used to determine concentrations of IFN-γ and LPS for use as low- and high-level stimulation concentrations. Seventy-two PBMC samples from 6 horses were assigned equally to 1 of 4 PARP1 inhibition categories: no PARP1 inhibitor (PARP1 inhibition control); 2-((R)-2-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazole-4-carbozamide dihydrochloride (ABT888);4-(3-(1-(cyclopropanecarbonyl)piperazine-4-carbonyl)-4-fluorobenzyl)phthalazin-1(2H)-one (AZD2281); or N-(6-oxo-5,6-dihydrophenanthridin-2-yl) -N,N-dimethylacetamide hydrochloride (PJ34). Samples of PBMCs from each horse and each PARP1 inhibition category were then assigned to 1 of 3 levels of IFN-γ and LPS stimulation: none (control), low stimulation, or high stimulation. After a 24-hour incubation period, a TNF-α ELISA was used to measure TNF-α concentration in the supernatant. Results were compared across treatments and for each horse. Data were analyzed with repeated-measures ANOVA.

RESULTS

Median TNF-α concentration was significantly lower for PJ34-treated, high-level stimulated PBMCs than for PARP1 inhibition control, high-level stimulated PBMCs; however, no other meaningful differences in TNF-α concentration were detected among the inhibition and stimulation combinations.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Findings suggested that PJ34 PARP1 inhibition may reduce TNF-α production in horses, a potential benefit in reducing inflammation and endotoxin-induced damage in horses.

Published: June 2019

OBJECTIVE

To determine the pharmacokinetics of pentoxifylline (PTX) and its 5-hydroxyhexyl metabolite (M-I) after IV administration of increasing doses of PTX to sheep.

ANIMALS

6 healthy adult Merino sheep.

PROCEDURES

Each sheep received 10-, 20-, and 40-mg/kg doses of PTX, IV, with a 15-day washout period between doses. Blood samples were collected before and at predetermined times after administration of each dose to determine plasma PTX and M-I concentrations by high-performance liquid chromatography. Pharmacokinetic parameters for PTX and M-I were estimated by noncompartmental analysis.

RESULTS

No adverse effects were observed after administration of the 10- and 20-mg/kg doses. Following administration of the 40-mg/kg dose, all sheep developed tachycardia and hypersalivation and appeared agitated for approximately 4 hours. Plasma PTX concentrations considered therapeutic in other species were achieved in all sheep after administration of all 3 doses. Pharmacokinetic parameters for PTX and M-I varied in a dose-dependent linear manner. For PTX, the mean area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), elimination half-life, and volume of distribution increased with dose and ranged from 15.67 to 94.66 h·μg/mL, 0.68 to 0.91 hours, and 0.55 to 0.66 L/kg, respectively, whereas clearance decreased with dose and ranged from 0.42 to 0.64 L/h/kg. The mean ratio of the AUC for M-I to AUC for PTX ranged from 0.38 to 0.46.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results indicated that pharmacokinetic parameters for PTX and M-I varied in a dose-dependent linear manner in healthy sheep. Further studies are warranted to determine the therapeutic threshold and optimal dosage for PTX in sheep.
Core-in-cup/liquisol dual tackling effect on azelnidipine buccoadhesive tablet micromeritics, in vitro release, and mucoadhesive strength
Authors: Rashad Amira A. , El-Helaly Sara Nageeb , Abd El Rehim Randa T. , El-Gazayerly Omaima N.
Published: June 2019

Reduced bioavailability of azelnidipine is related to its poor aqueous solubility and extensive first-pass metabolism, which hinder its efficacy. These problems were addressed by implementing (1) a liquisol technique for promoting the dissolution rate in a controlled-release manner and (2) a core-in-cup bucco-adhesive drug delivery system as an alternative to the oral route. A 33 factorial design was used to study the effects of polymer type (sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC Na), chitosan, or Carbomer P940) concentration (5, 10 or 15 %) and preparation technique (simple mix, liquisol or wet granulation) on the dissolution and mucoadhesion of core-in-cup azelnidipine buccoadhesive tablets. Tablet micromeritics, swelling index, mucoadhesive strength and in vitro release were characterized. Statistical analyses of these factors show ed significant effects on the studied responses, where F#16 prepared by the liquisol technique and containing 15 % CMC Na was chosen with an overall desirability of 0.953.
Haemostatic activity of butanolic extracts of Lamium album and Lamium purpureum aerial parts
Authors: Bubueanu Corina , Iuksel Rasit , Panteli Minerva
Published: June 2019

Lamium album and Lamium purpureum are species belonging to the genus Lamium. Aerial parts of the two species and roots of Lamium album have applications in human and veterinary traditional medicine. Haemostatic properties of butanolic extracts of Lamium species were investigated by two experimental models in Wistar rats: haemostatic test by tail bleeding time determination and acenocoumarolcarrageenan test. Results of the haemostatic test by tail bleeding determination demonstrated haemostatic activity of both extracts. In the acenocoumarol-carrageenan test, only the Lamium album extract showed haemostatic activity, comparable to that of vitamin K. Based on the qualitative chemical data on iridoid glycosides (HPTLC), 8-acetylshanzhiside methyl ester might be assumed to be responsible for haemostatic activity. Based on the acute toxicity test, none of the extracts showed toxicity.
Sacred Landscapes in Galicia: Small Religious Architecture and Symbolism
Authors: Calaza-Martínez Pedro , Freire-González Nuria , Blanco-Pampín Camilo
Published: June 2019

Cultural landscapes are multi-layered entities that constantly endure changes and transformations, especially in Europe due to its ancient history and anthropized nature, which reveals itself not only in physical elements, but also through immaterial heritage. This paper aims to analyse the connection between sacred landscapes, small religious architecture and folklore, focusing on the origin and transformations of several places in Galicia (northwest of Spain). Galicia is defined by its rich flora and fauna, a management of its land based on smallholding and the social idiosyncrasy of its people, defined by strong symbolism and the religious tradition that is reflected in a great amount of small sacred architecture. All this provide a paradigmatic territory for this research, allowing an approach to the case studies from the point of view of landscape architecture, assessing the small sacred architecture elements, their background, symbolism and associated vegetation. It is worth mentioning that, although vegetation had a very strong meaning and symbolism in the sacred history of Galicia, nowadays it only appears in 26% of the analysed case studies.
Small Sacral Architecture and Its Greenery in Lower Spiš Region in Slovakia
Authors: Halajová Denisa , Tóth Attila , Halaj Peter
Published: June 2019

Small sacral structures are significant elements of Spiš cultural landscapes (North-East Slovakia). This paper presents results of the field mapping of small roadside sacral objects and their greenery along a 66-kilometre long road section connecting North and South of Lower Spiš and the municipalities of Levoča, Spišská Nová Ves, Hnilčík, Mníšek nad Hnilcom, Smolník, and Úhorná. This road was an old trade route and has an important historical legacy in Lower Spiš – a traditional mining cultural landscape with a characteristic hilly topography, wide forest landscapes and rich mining history. The presented mapping was conducted within the research project VEGA 1/0371/18 “SacralArch: Preservation of the Historical Legacy and Architectural Diversity of Small Sacral Structures in Cultural Landscapes of Slovakia“, based on the methodology elaborated by Tóth (2018), which includes localisation, spatial context, technical or health condition and an overall description of the sacral element and the woody plants in its direct surroundings. In total, 13 small roadside sacral objects were mapped, while the most prevailing elements are crosses. The most common cross type is wooden cross without pedestal. The oldest and aesthetically most valuable elements are metal crosses on stone pedestals, made of travertine. The most valuable element is a registered cultural monument – a Baroque roadside chapel of St. John of Nepomuk from 1726 in Smolník. Woody plants accompany only roadside crosses in the study area. The oldest and most significant in terms of landscape value are individuals of small-leaved linden trees (Tilia cordata Mill).

Estimation of water use of Pinus tabulaeformis Carr. in Loess Plateau of Northwest China
Authors: Jian Shengqi , Wu Zening , Hu Caihong
Published: June 2019

Tree transpiration plays a determining role in the water balance of forest stands and in seepage water yields from forested catchments, especially in arid and semiarid regions where climatic conditions are dry with severe water shortage, forestry development is limited by water availability. To clarify the response of water use to climatic conditions, sap flow was monitored by heat pulse velocity method from May to September, 2014, in a 40–year–old Pinus tabulaeformis Carr. plantation forest stands in the semiarid Loess Plateau region of Northwest China. We extrapolated the measurements of water use by individual plants to determine the area–averaged transpiration of the woodlands. The method used for the extrapolation assumes that the transpiration of a tree was proportional to its sapwood area. Stand transpiration was mainly controlled by photosynthetically active radiation and vapor pressure deficit, whereas soil moisture had more influence on monthly change in stand transpiration. The mean sap flow rates for individual P. tabulaeformis trees ranged from 9 to 54 L d−1. During the study period, the mean daily stand transpiration was 1.9 mm day−1 (maximum 2.9 and minimum 0.8 mm day−1) and total stand transpiration from May to September was 294.1 mm, representing 76% of the incoming precipitation over this period. Similar results were found when comparing transpiration estimated with sap flow measurements to the Penman–Monteith method (relative error: 16%), indicating that the scaling procedure can be used to provide reliable estimates of stand transpiration. These results suggested that P. tabulaeformis is highly effective at utilizing scarce water resources in semiarid environments.
The delay economy of “continuity” and the emerging impatience culture of the digital era
Authors: Bruun Hanne
Published: June 2019

This article compares the “continuity” produced by private- and public service television companies and discusses whether it can survive in the digital era. In broadcast television, “continuity” carries the industry’s dominating business model: the commercial break. The present disruption to this model, caused by digital technology, over-the-top companies like Netflix and social media like Youtube, has made the television industry eager to adapt to new television viewing habits. However, based on a comparative analysis of the communicative strategies of four television companies in Denmark, the article argues that a traditional delay economy still governs the temporal structures and constructions of continuity. This delay economy draws heavily on the patience of its implied viewers. The article discusses this conceptualization of the audience in the context of an emerging impatience culture in which instant access to personalized audio-visual content and gaming on different devices are part of the viewers’ media experience.
Liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of thalidomide and its derivatives on cyclodextrin-bonded stationary phases
Authors: István Szabó-Zoltán , Mohammadhassan Foroughbakhshfasaei , Máté Dobó , Béla Noszál , Gergő Tóth
Published: June 2019

The chiral separation of three racemic immunomodulatory drugs, thalidomide, pomalidomide and lenalidomide was studied, using three cyclodextrin bonded stationary phases (β-, hydroxypropyl-β- and carboxymethyl-β-CD) in reversed-phase and polar organic mode. In polar organic mode, using acetonitrile and methanol, no chiral separation was observed. In reversed-phase mode pomalidomide showed chiral interactions with all selectors, while lenalidomide showed no chiral interactions with any of the cyclodextrins employed. Thalidomide showed chiral interactions with β-and carboxymethyl-β-CD, only. Based on these observations it can be concluded that the oxo group at position two is necessary for chiral recognition, while the aromatic primary amine group enhances it. Orthogonal experimental design was used to investigate the effect of the eluent composition, flow rate, and the column temperature on chiral separation. Concentration of the organic modifier was the most important factor among the investigated three variables showing high impact on the chiral separations. In the case of thalidomide optimized parameters (β-cyclodextrin-based stationary phase, 0.1% acetic acid/acetonitrile 95/5 (v/v), 5 °C column temperature, 0.6 ml/min flow rate) resulted in a resolution of 1.68 ± 0.02 between enantiomers. For pomalidomide, this value was 2.70 ± 0.02, under the circumstances as follows: β-cyclodextrin-based stationary phase, 0.1% acetic acid/acetonitrile 90/10 (v/v), 15 °C column temperature and 0.8 mL/min flow rate. Utilizing the experimental conditions employed on an LC-MS/MS system, concentrations as low as 2 ng/mL could be determined from mouse plasma for both substances. Elution sequences were determined with enantiopure standards and in both cases the R-enantiomers eluted first. The methods developed are suitable for the chiral separation of the abovementioned compounds and are sound starting points for bioanalytical method development.
Advances in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke: the 2018 American Stroke Association recommendation
Authors: László Csiba
Published: June 2019

The imaging studies should be performed within 20 minutes after arrival and the door-to-needle time should be less than 60 minutes in more than 50 % of the patients. The time-windows and the outcome should be evaluated systematically. If the patient is suitable for intravenous (IV) thrombolysis within 3 hours (based on imaging) only the blood glucose measurement should precede the IV lysis. IV thrombolysis within 3 hours is recommended not only in case of severe stroke, but also in patients with severe isolated symptoms (e.g. aphasia or visual field defect) and in patients with improving paresis. The IV lysis should be considered both in patients on aspirin monotherapy or aspirin+clopidogrel therapy. The criteria for stroke cases between 3 to 4.5 hours became less exclusive: IV intervention can be considered in patients ≥80years, in patients with previous stroke and diabetes and also in patients with INR < 1.7. Mechanical thrombectomy (for interna or media occlusion) can be also considered within 4.5 hours after a non-successful intravenous thrombolysis. Other criteria for mechanical thrombectomy (interna or media occlusion) between 4.5 and 6 hours: NIHSS ≥ 6, ASPECTS score ≥ 6. For patients with interna or media occlusion between 6 and 16 hours, only mechanical thrombectomy could be recommended (by Solitaire or TREVO retriever), if the patient has large penumbra (confirmed by either perfusion CT or MRI and following the criteria of DAWN and DEFUSE-3 studies). Between 16 and 24 hours after stroke, a mechanical thrombectomy can be considered (selected by perfusion CT or MRI), if the patient fulfills DAWN criteria.
Evaluation of knowledge about cardiopulmonary resuscitation in Tîrgu Mures
Authors: Réka-Izabella Varga , Judit Kovács
Published: June 2019

Early recognition and intervention in sudden cardiac arrest is crucial for survival. The majority of these cases happen at the victims’ home or in public places, and the first person to act is usually a bystander. The purpose of this study was to assess and to compare bystander’s and third-year medical students’ (who attended first aid courses and training as first year students) knowledge about cardiopulmonary resuscitation in Tîrgu Mureş. Material and methods: We used a questionnaire, which included 28 questions and was filled in voluntarily by 335 people. We investigated previous cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) experience, willingness to help in an emergency situation and basic knowledge about CPR techniques. Results: Only 15% of bystanders were trained in CPR. The majority (94%) of them knew when they have to resuscitate a person and the correct position the person be in. The location of chest compressions was known by 39% of bystanders and by 78% of third-year medical students, the exact rate of chest compressions by 14% of bystanders and by 66% of medical students. 49% of bystanders had driving license, and even though first aid training was required at driving school, their knowledge was barely better than those who did not have one. Conclusions: Bystander’s knowledge on cardiopulmonary resuscitation is generally poor. To improve it, CPR training courses are needed in the community.

The Vision of God: St. Thomas Aquinas on the Beatific Vision and Resurrected Bodies
Authors: Llizo Robert
Published: June 2019

The beatific vision is central to St. Thomas Aquinas’ doctrine of the soul’s enlightenment. In its vision of the essence of God, the soul/intellect achieves its telos, its highest goal. But the resurrection of the body is a central dogma of the Christian faith, so the main question of this essay concerns the manner in which the resurrected body of the blessed benefits from the soul’s apprehension of the beatific vision. For St. Thomas, the physical eyes do not see the beatific vision, since they can only see magnitude and proportion, and God is beyond both. The soul is the body’s substantial form, and a person is not fully a person without the union of soul and body. As the body’s substantial form, the soul/intellect has the beatific vision as its substantial form. The result of the enlightened intellect with the resurrected body will be that the physical eyes will be able to see more readily the glory of God in creation and in redeemed humanity, and more supremely in the incarnate Christ himself.
Deification in the Baptist Tradition: Christification of the Human Nature Through Adopted and Participatory Sonship Without Becoming Another Christ
Authors: Cho Dongsun
Published: June 2019

Some contemporary Baptists (Medley and Kharlamov) argue that the conservative Baptists in North America need to incorporate the concept of deification into their traditional soteriology because they failed to present the continual and transforming nature of salvation. However, many leading conservative Baptist systematicians (Garrett, Erickson, Demarest, and Keathley) demonstrate their concern about a possible pantheistic connotation of the doctrine of deification. Unlike the conservative Baptists, I argue for the necessity of working with the concept of deification in the traditional Baptist soteriology. The concept of deification is not something foreign to the Baptist tradition because Keach, Gill, Spurgeon, and Maclaren already demonstrated the patristic exchange formula ‘God became man so that man may become like God’. They considered the hypostatic union of two natures in Christ as the source and model of becoming like God or Christ, the true Image of God. Christians are called to be united with the glorified humanity of Christ by their adopted sonship and participation in the divine nature. Christification speaks of the real transformation of Christians in terms of a change in the mode of existence, not in nature. The four Baptists taught that Christian could participate in the communicable attributes of God, but not in the essence or incommunicable attributes of God. Therefore, Christification never produces another God-Man. Conservative Baptists do not have to compromise their traditional commitment to sola scriptura and the forensic nature of justification in their employment of the theme of deification. This paper concludes with four suggestions for contemporary Baptist discussions on deification.
Radical, Baptist Eschatology: The Eschatological Vision of Vavasor Powell, Hanserd Knollys, and Benjamin Keach
Authors: Arnold Jonathan
Published: June 2019

Amidst the politically-charged climate of seventeenth-century England, a small, but influential makeshift group of Baptist divines developed an eschatological system that both encouraged their congregations to greater holiness and threatened the very existence of the proto-denomination. Even as most of the nascent group of dissenting congregations known as Baptists sought acceptance by the more mainstream dissent, those divines who accepted this particular form of millenarianism garnered unwanted attention from the authorities as they pressed remarkably close to the line of radical dissidence. Three of those Baptist divines—Vavasor Powell, Hanserd Knollys, and Benjamin Keach—provide helpful insights both into the range of millenarianism adopted by this group of Baptists and into the legitimacy of the charges of radicalism. This article examines the published works of these three ministers, comparing their visions for the eschatological future and analyzing the charges of radicalism placed against them by their contemporaries.
Criteria for the optimal financing model of public theatres
Authors: Gałecka Małgorzata , Smolny Katarzyna
Published: June 2019

The research is part of a wider research problem, whose aim is to find an optimal financing model for cultural institutions in Poland. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the performance indicators of municipal and regional theatres in the context of accessibility to cultural public services. The study forms a verification of previously distinguished indicators of the effectiveness of cultural institutions with a general direction: how to find an optimal financing model of public dramatic theatres. The current research problem is the accessibility of public dramatic theatres in the absence of criteria for the allocation of statutory subsidies. We hypothesise that the absence of criteria for the allocation of statutory subsidies highly diversifies the accessibility of performing arts organisations. The object of study is public dramatic theatres in Poland in the period 2011–2015. We investigated the indicators having an impact on the level of accessibility of public theatres. The statistical methods used allowed us to identify criteria affecting availability. These criteria are recognized in the literature. In addition, we indicate the level of diversification of accessibility by individual public theatres.
Infant Mortality and Public Health Expenditure in Nigeria: Empirical Explanation of the Nexus
Authors: David Joseph
Published: June 2019

This study employs Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to co-integration and Granger causality technique to empirically examines the nature of relationship between infant mortality and public expenditure on health in Nigeria from 1980 – 2016. In addition, the study considers the roles of immunization, private health expenditure and external health resources on infant mortality in Nigeria. Among other things, the empirical results indicate the presence of significant conintegrating (long-run) relationship between infant mortality and government health expenditure (and private health expenditure, immunization and external health resources), coupled with the existence of bi-directional causal relationship between infant mortality and government health expenditure. In addition, the results also demonstrate that, government health expenditure, private health expenditure, immunization, and external health resources significantly influence infant mortality negatively both in the long and short term. Although, private health spending is shown as the major determinant of the reduction of infant mortality rate in Nigeria, due to the size of the coefficient of private health expenditure. In essence, the total overhaul of the Nigerian health sector, so as to improve the efficiency of the sector, as well curb the incidents of fund mismanagement which has plagued the sector overtime, coupled with the intensifying of immunization programs and activities are however recommended.
Identifying Vehicle and Collision Impact by Applying the Principle of Conservation of Mechanical Energy
Authors: Karapetkov Stanimir , Dimitrov Lubomir , Uzunov Hristo , Dechkova Silvia
Published: June 2019

Various methodologies and tools applied to identification of vehicle and collision impact seek to present more and more accurate solutions to reproduce, restore, recreate and investigate the casualty. Modern computer technology and software provide the tools to solve specific problems developing mathematical modelling of complex mechanical systems involving vehicles and other objects in a road accident. Scientists generally utilize the Standard Test Method for Impact Testing calculating the energy of deformation of both vehicles, however, one of its limitations is the evaluation of the kinetic energy of the vehicles in post-collision taking into consideration vehicle rotation and linear displacement. To improve the analysis, dynamic traffic simulation is used, taking into account the variations in the coefficient of friction, suspension elasticity and damping. The proposed method is based on a system of two equations derived from two principles: the Principle of Conservation of Mechanical Energy and the Principle of Conservation of Momentum in the impact phase. The new approach is conducted on mathematical modelling and computer simulation of vehicle motion after the impact, wherefrom the linear and angular velocities are analysed. This is achieved by the numerical solution of the differential equations of motion of the cars after the impact, and the given initial conditions that satisfy the solution are used to solve the system of equations. The main findings of the study can be grouped as follows: 1) The positions of the vehicles prior to the moment of first impact and the post-impact orientation of velocity vectors are more precise. 2) The variability of the tire-road friction coefficient is taken into consideration. 3) The value of coefficient of restitution according to Newton’s theory of impact is unnecessarily determined.

Offset is defined as a printing technique using a system of two-flu-ids (ink + dampening solution) that requires a constant monitoring and a balancing system due to the physical-chemical features of the process. Ink and dampening solution on the printing plate surface should not be intergraded during the chemical interaction. Image and non-image areas on the plate surface can be separated from each other only through the interaction of dampening solution and ink. The dampening solution is responsible for the wetting of non-image areas on a printing plate, and are applied to the entire plate. In the wet-ting process, the amount of the dampening solution on the plate should be at the lowest level. This can be provided only by lowering the surface tension of the dampening solution. Thus, quality printing results, such as edge sharpness, high color intensity and high print gloss are achieved with a small amount of wetting on the printing plate surface. In this study, the wetting of the printing plate surface is investigated under the effects of surface tension of dampening solution and its angle of contact with the printing plate and current studies related to the subject are reviewed and discussed.

Koeksistensi antara Struktur Keluarga Matrilineal dengan Tatanan Religi Masyarakat Minangkabau
Authors: Firdaus Dwi Rini Sovia
Published: June 2019

Minangkabau customary law has always been quite open to be integrated with new elements. From the influences of Hinduism, Buddhism, and the colonial period, it is Islam that has spurred the lifestyle of the matrilineal community to date. The encounter creates the term ‘adat bersendi syarak, syarak bersendi kitabullah’, which clearly shows the marriage between the old elements and the new ones. It does not stop there, social change continues to occur in-line with the existence of globalization influence. In the continuing social change, the Minangkabau society still have the will to preserve its core elements. This research was conducted at Nagari Maninjau and Nagari Sungai Batang. Each population is a family group consisting a father, a mother, and at least one child aged 10-19 years. This study uses a simple quantitative method, the summation of 106 family sets of respondents, being further analyzed qualitatively. The pioneer in the effort of cultural preservation is the urban area, with a family configuration derived from Minang father+Minang mother and non-Minang father+Minang mother. Data shows that there is no significant role of an uncle in terms of cultural inheritance, because the other central role is acted by a mamak pusako.
Indonesia Melawan Hoaks Studi Eksploratif Gerakan-Gerakan Melawan Hoaks di Indonesia
Authors: Nurlatifah Mufti
Published: June 2019

Informasi yang tidak tepat atau hoaks berkaitan dengan isu politik, ekonomi, agama, budaya, bahkan kesehatan menyebabkan kegelisahan banyak pihak. Massifnya informasi hoaks di ruang publik kita, baik di media maupun dalam interaksi seharu-hari, dikhawatirkan akan menimbulkan konflik jika tidak ditangani dengan tepat. Keresahan inilah yang kemudian menginisiasi banyak gerakan melawan hoaks di Indonesia. Perlawanan terhadap hoaks ini dilakukan oleh berbagai pihak baik pemerintah maupun non pemerintah dengan beragam bentuk. Kementrian Komunikasi dan Informatika, Kepolisian Republik Indonesia, Masyarakat Anti Hoax Indonesia melakukan gerakan anti hoaks dengan cara pelaporan informasi yang dianggap hoaks. Selain itu dikenal pula sejumlah gerakan melawan hoaks lainnya seperti inisiasi Hoak Analyzer oleh mahasiswa ITB dan diluncurkannya aplikasi Apps oleh Muhammadiyah. Di level global gerakan melawan hoaks ini sudah dimulai lebih dahulu oleh Google melalui Google News Lab dan First Draft. Gerakan perlawanan terhadap hoaks ini mengkombinasikan antara teknologi dengan kognisi manusia untuk melakukan verifikasi informasi. Pembahasan dalam penelitian ini akan mengetengahkan eksplorasi dari gerakan-gerakan masyarakat di Indonesia dalam melawan hoaks. Studi ini bermaksud memetakan sejauh mana gerakan perlawanan terhadap hoaks berlangsung di Indonesia. Pemetaan ini tidak hanya menyasar bentuk gerakan itu saja, namun juga memperhatikan metode yang mereka gunakan untuk melawan hoaks, sekaligus melihat sejauh mana gerakan tersebut efektif untuk melawan hoaks di Indonesia. .
Ecological Communication in Information Society: Reflections on Niklas Luhmann's Thought in Understanding Ecological & Disaster Issues in Indonesia
Authors: Wahyuni, Ph.D Hermin Indah
Published: June 2019

Ecological issues pose a serious threat to the continued existence of contemporary society. The recent development of humanity as an information society has been unable to overcome ecological issues; indeed, they have become more complex. Rapid advances in information and communication technology have fundamentally transformed various dimensions of human life. At the same time, ecological problems have been complicated by increasingly intense disasters, limited awareness of environmental degradation, as well as the increasingly apparent threat of global warming and climate change. Niklas Luhmann, a German sociologist, offered ecological communication as a conceptual framework for understanding the ecological problems faced by modern society. Through his system theory and concept of resonance, Luhmann sought to explain how modern society, as a complex social system, responds to ecological issues. This article seeks to explore in detail the ecological communication framework developed by Luhmann and use it to understand the ecological issues facing today's information society, especially in Indonesia. The main method used by this research is exploration and explication of the principles of Luhmann's theory, which are implemented to analyze various ecological issues and natural disasters in Indonesia. This research involved the collection of materials on ecological communication from Luhmann's books, as well as the linking of these materials to the ecological problems faced by information society.
PHÂN TÍCH VÀ ĐÁNH GIÁ MỨC ĐỘ Ô NHIỄM CỦA CÁC POLYBROM DIPHENYL ETE TRONG MẪU BỤI ĐƯỜNG TẠI MỘT SỐ KHU VỰC Ở MIỀN BẮC VIỆT NAM

Trong nghiên cứu này, chúng tôi đã đánh giá mức độ ô nhiễm và đặc trưng tích lũy của 36 đồng loại polybrom diphenyl ete (PBDEs) với số nguyên tử brom từ 2 đến 10 trong mẫu bụi đường thu thập tại một khu vực đô thị, một khu công nghiệp và một khu vực nông thôn ở miền Bắc Việt Nam. Nồng độ của PBDEs trong các mẫu bụi đường giảm theo thứ tự: khu vực đô thị (trung bình 36; khoảng 16–55 ng/g) > khu công nghiệp (6,4; 3,9–11 ng/g) > khu vực nông thôn (1,8; 0,91–3,6 ng/g). Xu hướng này chỉ ra sự khác biệt đáng kể trong mức nồng độ của PBDEs trong môi trường giữa khu vực đô thị, khu công nghiệp và khu vực nông thôn ở miền Bắc Việt Nam, phản ánh tác động môi trường của quá trình đô thị hóa và công nghiệp hóa. Nồng độ PBDEs trong mẫu bụi đường có mối liên hệ chặt chẽ với mật độ giao thông, cho thấy phương tiện giao thông là một nguồn phát thải đáng kể của các chất chống cháy brom hữu cơ này ra môi trường. BDE-209 là đồng loại chính phát hiện được trong tất cả các mẫu, chiếm tỉ lệ từ 61 đến 90% (trung bình 78%) của nồng độ tổng PBDEs. Phổ tích lũy này góp phần chỉ ra những ứng dụng rộng rãi của các hỗn hợp deca-BDE trong các sản phẩm thương mại tại Việt Nam. Mức độ hấp thụ và rủi ro sức khỏe liên quan đến PBDEs trong bụi đường đã được đánh giá cho cư dân và một số nhóm đối tượng phơi nhiễm nghề nghiệp (ví dụ như công nhân quét đường, người bán hàng rong và cảnh sát giao thông) tại các khu vực nghiên cứu. Liều lượng hấp thụ của một số đồng loại PBDEs (như BDE-47, -99, -153 và -209) thấp hơn đáng kể so với các giá trị tham chiếu, cho thấy mức độ rủi ro tương đối thấp. Tuy nhiên, các nghiên cứu về đánh giá rủi ro tổng quát hơn cần tiếp tục được thực hiện, đặc biệt cho nhóm đối tượng phơi nhiễm nghề nghiệp và trẻ em tại khu vực đô thị và khu công nghiệp.

Published: June 2019

Indonesia possessed laws and regulation concerning the acquisition, distribution and use of armed weapons and explosive devices. A number of incidents, however, show a faulty monitoring system. Terrorist groups involved in the Surabaya bombing this year has been known to use triaseton triperoxide also known as the mother of Satan (mos), commonly used by ISIS. This fact shows a weakness in the monitoring or supervisory system put in place to control the use of armed weapons and explosive devices. In this article, the author shall discuss, using a normative-empirical juridical approach, to what extent the prevailing national law has been synchronized with the existing international convention regulating the acquisition and use of armed weapons and explosive materials or devices.

Production and distribution system in a company should be managed carefully. Delay in product delivery not only results in a late penalty due to customer dissatisfaction or breach of contract, but also causes a supply chain failure. Of course, all these impacts will also reduce the reputation of a company. Scheduling integrated production-distribution is classified as NP-Hard problem. Genetic algorithm can be used to solve complex problem. In this paper, genetic algorithm is used for scheduling production-distribution in make to order system where each job has a different deadline and volume (size). This problem is represented on mixed integer programing model. We verify the genetic algorithmâ€™s performance by comparing the results with the total cost calculated by lower bounds of the problems. Experiments show that the traditional initial random cannot produce good result with more than 15 job size problem. We proposed guided initial chromosome to tackle this problem. From further experiments shows that the proposed method approach can increase the performances of genetic algorithm in more than 15 job size problem. In general, proposed genetic algorithm with guided initial chromosome shows better solution quality and better time efficiency compared to previous related research.
