Published: March 2019

Program produksi kedelai nasional menjadi pendorong agenda daerah dalam pengembangan kedelai di Kabupaten Semarang. Upaya pengembangan kedelai terutama varietas Grobogan dilakukan dengan model kemitraan agribisnis antara petani, pemerintah daerah, pengusaha, dan perguruan tinggi. Kemitraan agribisnis di Kabupaten Semarang telah dijalankan sejak awal 2017. Namun perluasan areal maupun peningkatan produksi yang signifikan belum nampak, antara lain karena petani sudah enggan bertanam kedelai. Tujuan penelitian adalah: 1) mengetahui gambaran penggunaan input produksi pada usahatani kedelai varietas Grobogan, dan 2) mengetahui kelayakan ekonomi usahatani kedelai varietas Grobogan. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kecamatan Pabelan dan Bancak. Data primer diambil menggunakan teknik survei yakni mewawancarai petani dan informan kunci menggunakan kuesioner. Sampel ditentukan secara acak pada populasi petani kedelai di lokasi penelitian sejumlah 60 petani. Teknik analisis data meliputi analisis tabulasi digunakan untuk mengetahui kondisi sosio-ekonomi petani, dan kelayakan ekonomi menggunakan R/C ratio. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa nilai R/C ratio dari usahatani kedelai adalah > 1,478 yang berarti usahatani kedelai ini masih layak untuk dilaksanakan, namun masih sangat diperlukan adanya insentif usahatani.

Introducción: el hematoma mediastinal es una causa rara de complicación en el abordaje de la vía venosa central (VVC). Estudio de Gupta 2011 reportó uno y revisó varios casos clínicos analizando la conducta terapéutica. Caso clínico: mujer de 51 años con ventilación mecánica invasiva en terapia intensiva por encefalitis viral, que después de la colocación de VVC subclavia presentó inestabilidad hemodinámica, dificultad para ventilar con resistencias elevadas y compliance disminuida, hace paro cardiaco que revierte con maniobras, se precisa diagnóstico de hematoma mediastinal y se indica manejo conservador con el que evoluciona satisfactoriamente. Discusión: el hematoma de mediastino siempre debe sospecharse y es evidente en radiografías de tórax en los casos graves, con ensanchamiento mediastinal. La ventilación mecánica establece una presión positiva intratorácica permitiendo contener el hematoma, el manejo conservador se reporta beneficioso. Conociendo que las complicaciones de colocación de VVC son mínimas pero con elevado riesgo de inestabilidad, prolongación de hospitalización y aumento de la mortalidad, se recomienda evitar abordajes innecesarios, en especial subclavios.

Provenance variation in germination and seedling growth of Rhododendron ponticum L.
Authors: Pulatkan Muberra , Kamber Asena Sule
Published: March 2019

Rhododendron ponticum is a popular shrubby plant in landscape architecture planting designs. It is especially effective when used in large groups, due to its form, foliage and flower aesthetics, as well as its functional properties. The plant is indigenous tomany mountainous and forested areas of different elevations. In the present study, the germination success of Rhododendron ponticum seeds obtained from three different provenances in NE Turkey: Zafanos (39º46’N, 40º56’E, 592m), Maçka (39º39’N, 40º41’E, 1234m) and Zigana (39º24’N, 40º39’E, 1744m) was investigated under greenhouse conditions (25 ± 2ºC, 70 ± 2% Humidity). After germination, seedling sizes and root length were determined. The highest germination rate (78.91%) was obtained with the seeds collected from Maçka (1234m). The development of the seedlings demonstrated that the greatest height and root length values were obtained with the seedlings collected at the Zafonos site (592m).It was found that germination success was not effectively correlated with the rate of seedling development.
Austerity en route, from Lisbon to Luanda
Authors: Blanes Ruy Llera
Published: March 2019

In this article, through a set of ethnographic vignettes from fieldwork conducted in Angola since 2015, I discuss the political semantics of crisis and austerity, and simultaneously outline an itinerary of a “traveling austerity” between Portugal and Angola, exposing the interconnectedness and mutual binding of both political and economic contexts. Invoking stories of migrant workers in Luanda and the work of local “financial activists” protesting against financial inequality in Angola, I question the relevance of national-based approaches to austerity politics, explore conceptualizations of austerity beyond its “original,” mainstream Eurocentric setting, and argue towards the necessity of analyzing transnational intersections in the study of austerity.
Commentary
Authors: Susser Ida
Published: March 2019

This afterword discusses the analysis of “austerity” and globalization and the possible parallels between a history of structural adjustment policies in the Global South combined with further cuts in social funding of recent years with the experience of “austerity” in Europe following the 2008 economic crisis. Questions with respect to the ways in which uneven development and the history of colonialism might complicate the experience in the Global South despite parallel governing strategies are raised. In addition, I suggest the consideration of scale in terms of the implementation of global versus national or local policies, the different scales at which resistance occurs, and the historical circumstances in which classes or subaltern groups coalesce might be important further considerations in this analysis.

'A land of hardship and distress': Camels, North American Deserts and the Limits of Conquest
Authors: Isenberg Andrew C.
Published: March 2019

In 1848, having just concluded a war of conquest against Mexico, the United States seized a large portion of northern Mexico, much of which was desert. In the 1850s, the US struggled to extend its sovereignty over this unfamiliar desert territory. To conquer the desert, the US secretary of war, Jefferson Davis, imported camels from the Ottoman Empire, hoping to build a camel-mounted military unit that would impose US will on the arid region. By the 1860s, however, the camels had either perished in droughts or been sold to circuses or menageries. The failure of the camel experiment points to the limits of exotic animal invasions, but more importantly it reveals a curious prologue to the better-known story of US dam-building and irrigation in arid regions: at first, rather than try to transform the desert, the US tried to adapt to it.
Global Imaginary of Arid Lands: Early Twentieth- Century United States Botanists in Africa
Authors: Morrissey Katherine G. , Burtner Marcus A.
Published: March 2019

From the 1890s through the 1930s, arid land scientists drew connections between US and African landscapes. As they studied desert nature at home and abroad, modified agricultural landscapes and collected and described species in the world's deserts, they envisioned a global imaginary. This paper traces these connections and transformations, using the Sonoran Desert and US southwestern botanical scientists who traversed abroad - including William Cannon, Edgar Mearns, Robert Forbes and Homer Shantz - as case studies.
From Desiccation to Global Climate Change: A History of the Desertification Narrative in the West African Sahel, 1900-2018
Authors: Benjaminsen Tor A. , Hiernaux Pierre
Published: March 2019

During the last few decades, 'desertification' has reached the status of a global environmental issue. The African Sahel is often seen as the world region worst hit by this process. The idea that deserts are spreading, mainly due to local land-use practices, is, however, not new. It already existed early in the colonial period in tropical Africa. The purpose of this paper is to provide a historical perspective on the construction of the desertification narrative using historical documents combined with a review of international scientific research. The main focus is on former French colonies in the West African Sahel, and the paper aims to identify various phases in the history of the desertification narrative in this region and to explain the shifts between these phases. We first present debates among French scientists in the early twentieth century about desiccation as a natural or human-induced process. We continue by discussing the transition from desiccation theory to a narrative focusing more explicitly on desert advance caused by local human activities. Thereafter, we show how the droughts in the Sahel of the 1970s and 1980s enhanced the desertification narrative and led to an institutionalisation of desertification at different levels, which again established this idea as a global environmental problem. Finally, we demonstrate how global climate change has further strengthened the idea of desertification as a global environmental threat, despite international scientific research questioning the scale and relevance of this perceived problem. This history of the desertification narrative from the early colonial period to today shows how the narrative has created some powerful winners, while the losers have largely been Sahelian small-scale farmers and pastoralists. This is also a case illustrating how a policy narrative may use science when science supports its main tenets, but neglects science when it turns against the narrative.
'Fezzan is the Siberia of Africa': Desert and Society in the Prison Memoir of Pavel Shatev (1882-1951), An Anarchist from Ottoman Macedonia
Authors: Shopov Aleksandar
Published: March 2019

Between 1906 and 1908, the Ottoman anarchist Pavel Shatev was imprisoned along with hundreds of other political prisoners (Armenians, Young Turks, etc.) in the Ottoman province of Fezzan, present-day Libya. As a member of a group of anarchists from Ottoman Macedonia, he had participated in a series of bombings of Ottoman state institutions and western European financial and commercial interests in Salonica in 1903. Shatev wrote a memoir of his imprisonment, published in 1910, during a peak of efforts by states around the world to persecute anarchists and halt the spread of their ideas. This paper examines the meaning of the Saharan desert environment in Shatev's prison memoir as a mirror of global political struggles. In Shatev's writing, desert plants, rocks and sand become images that invoke political oppression and imperialism, while the desert animals become part of his radical arguments for animal rights. This paper challenges an understanding of Ottoman anarchists solely as recipients of anarchist and socialist writings from western Europe, even as it also departs from a scholarship that seeks to frame them within nationalist historiographical frameworks by studying them only as parts of emerging national liberation movements. By contrast, Shatev's prison memoir both engaged with global theoretical currents and contained new insights and ideas that arose from the particular environment in which he was imprisoned. This paper thus also contributes to the field of Ottoman environmental history by exploring the formation and function of ideas about the environment and ecology in the emerging radical social thought.

Pelo estado de Goiás, grupos de mulheres vêm transformando linhas em complexas tramas do cotidiano. Falo, especialmente, de fiandeiras que manuseiam o algodão à beira da estrada de ferro, no interior do estado. Foi neste contexto que, durante a realização de minha pesquisa de mestrado, me vi envolvida pelas trocas cotidianas ocorridas e por todo o emaranhado que me foi apresentado pela interlocução daquelas mulheres. Deste ponto, proponho esboçar uma narrativa afetuosa e “afetada” dos sentidos da linha – sempre em construção, e como eles foram “criados” na sistematização dos dados da pesquisa. Para isto, trago uma reflexão sobre a “escrita” nas pesquisas em ciências sociais e humanidades em geral; fazendo da “metáfora” e da “alegoria” aliadas ao processo de “tradução”;  esses dois conjuntos foram tensionados pela analogia à dupla linha: ferro e algodão.  Me interessa, enquanto jovem pesquisadora, levar a sério a compreensão de que  metáfora e alegoria são formas possíveis para o fazer-pensar nas ciências sociais e nas humanidades.

Obesity is increasing at an alarming rate throughout the world and has become a global problem. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared overweight as one of the top 10 health risks in the world and one of the top five in developed nations (WHO, 2002) In many developing countries, with increasing urbanization, mechanization of jobs and transportation, availability of processed and fast foods, and dependence on television for leisure, people are fast adopting less physically active lifestyles and consuming more “energy-dense, nutrient-poor” diets .The objective of the study was to investigate the prevalence of overweight issues and obesity by recording the body mass index (BMI) and explore the dietary habits, physical activities (PAs), and lifestyles of  females between 20-40 years of age. Questionnaire was used in this study for data collection about general information, body mass index, dietary habits and Lifestyle of 20 female subjects. It was observed that 3 females were underweight, 9 were normal weight and 8 were overweight and obese. From the results of the study, we can conclude that the incidence of being overweight and obese is increasing .The awareness about Physical activities healthy diet/lifestyle, and consequences of overweight and obesity on their health and profession must be increased among the young females to avoid future complications.

Milk is a rich and complete nutritive food provided by nature. The present study, reports the hypolipidemic and antioxidant effects of camel milk supplementation in the management of hyperlipidemia associated with obesity. Rats were rendered obese by feeding them with a high-fat diet for eight weeks to induce hyperlipidemia. The supplementation of camel milk as shown by atherogenic index, and a battery of biochemical markers of oxidative stress, lipid profile, antioxidant vitamins, markedly improved and ameliorated hyperlipidemia in rats.  It also significantly (p<0.05) lowered the elevated levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, creatinine, and urea. The data provided evidence supporting the beneficial effect of camel milk on hyperlipidemia associated with obesity. The study assumes significance because of the fact that hyperlipidemia is associated with metabolic syndrome that leads to the development of chronic inflammatory diseases such as diabetes and atherosclerosis.

Authors: Dag Hüseyin , Dag Nevin Cetin , Turkkan Emine , Ozdemir Ebru Misirli , Dikker Okan
Published: March 2019

Background: Galectin-3 is a member of the family of soluble beta-galactoside binding lectins, which is involved in inflammation, cell differentiation, adhesion, proliferation, angiogenesis and cancer cell invasion. Increased galectin-3 levels in obese patients have been shown in previous studies. In our study; we aimed to investigate the galectin-3 levels in obese adolescents for the first time in the literature.

Materials and methods: A total of 85 adolescent patients who were admitted to our pediatrics outpatient clinic between December 19th of 2018 and January 31st of 2019 were included in our study. Among those patients 52 were obese and 33 were normal-weighted. Adolescents having body mass index (BMI) 95% percentile and above according to their age and sex were defined as obese. Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay kit was used for the measurement of galectin-3 in serum. Laboratory tests (Galectin-3, HbA1c, glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR), sex, age and BMI were statistically compared between groups.

Results: We found no statistically significant difference in terms of gender distribution rates, age, glucose or galectin-3 levels among obese adolescent and healthy control groups (p> 0.05). The BMI, HbA1c, HOMA-IR and insulin levels of the obese adolescent group were found to be significantly higher than the healthy control group (p <0.05). We found no statistically significant correlation between galectin-3 levels and other parameters in obese adolescent group (p> 0.05).

Conclusion: In our study, we did not find any relationship between serum galectin-3 levels and obesity in adolescents. We believe that the effects of galectin-3 levels on obesity in adolescents should be more clearly explained by further investigations, which also measures other biomarkers of the mechanism of action.

Keywords: Galectin-3, obesity, adolescent

International Undergraduate Student Engagement: Implications for Higher Education Administrators
Authors: Wekullo Caroline Sabina
Published: March 2019

Much has been written about engaging international students in their new campus environments. However, there is still a gap between literature and practice in terms of such students’ initial experiences. A systematic review of 48 studies published between 2007 and 2018 was conducted to locate the research gaps, examine how and in what areas international undergraduate students are being encouraged to participate, and their unique experiences with the process. The findings show that few studies focused solely on international undergraduates. Their engagement varied depending on the student’s background, major, region, and type of institution. These students faced unique and uneven experiences with social support, academics, community identity, connectedness, and perceived discrimination. Implications for higher education administrators, international students, and researchers suggested.
“Education Abroad” for International Student Advisors: What is the impact on their professional development?
Authors: Liu Wei
Published: March 2019

It is generally agreed that participating in study abroad programs, even short term, has positive impacts on students. But what would be the impact of an “education abroad” opportunity for staff members in international education? Reported in this paper is a 3-month long professional development program in a Canadian university for 52 international student advisors from 51 different Chinese institutions. Based on data from a survey and their comparative research reports, the study aims to glean the impacts of such an education abroad opportunity for international education professionals after their exposure to a different national context and different practices in international education. Findings of this study show that international comparison can serve as an effective approach to the professional development of international education professionals which enhances their historical, contextual and cultural understanding of their own work.
Undergraduate International Student Enrollment Forecasting Model: An Application of Time Series Analysis
Authors: Chen Yu , Li Ran , Hagedorn Linda Serra
Published: March 2019

This study developed statistical models to forecast international undergraduate student enrollment at a Midwest university. The authors constructed a SARIMA (Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) model with input variables to estimate future enrollment. The SARIMA model reflected enrollment patterns by semester through highlighting seasonality. Further, authors added input variables such as visa policy changes, the rapid increase of Chinese undergraduate enrollment, and tuition rate into the model estimation. The visa policy change and the increase of Chinese undergraduate enrollment were significant predictors of international undergraduate enrollment. The effect of tuition rates was significant but minimal in magnitude. Findings of this study generate significant implications for policy, enrollment management, and student services for international students.

Published: March 2019

Terjemahan adalah proses pengalihan pesan dari bahasa sumber ke bahasa sasaran. Ada beberapa strategi yang digunakan agar hasilnya akurat. Salah satunya adalah dengan pergeseran (shift) dalam terjemahan. Menurut Catford pergeseran dapat terjadi dalam bentuk dan makna. Pergeseran bentuk terjadi pada pergeseran tataran dan pergeseran kategori. Pergeseran kategori terjadi pada pergeseran struktur, kelas kata, unit, dan intra sistem. Pergeseran terjemahan dapat terjadi pada hasil terjemahan. Salah satunya adalah pada artikel yang terdapat dalam majalah Kangguru Indonesia. Artikel tersebut berbentuk bilingual. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode qualitatif yang menggunakan data yang berbentuk kata, frase dan kalimat. Teknik analisa data pada penelitian ini adalah dengan mengidentifikasi data yang valid dan menemukan pergerseran bentuk yang terjadi dalam terjemahan tersebut.

Penelitian ini mengkaji implementasi strategi pembelajaran kolaboratif untuk mengajar kosakata perbankan dalam bahasa inggris bagi mahasiswa sastra Inggris UMN-AW. Bagaimana mengajarkan kosakata dengan cara yang tepat merupakan masalah yang sangat pelik di kalangan para pendidik. Sebagian besar mereka menggunakan metode menghafal dimana murid harus menghafal 5 hingga 10 kosakata setiap minggu. Akan tetapi, banyak yang belum berhasil melalui metode tersebut. Pengajaran kosakata membutuhkan strategi pembelajaran yang tepat agar murid mampu menyerap kosakata tersebut dengan baik. Strategi pembelajaran berfungsi untuk memberikan situasi pembelajaran yang tersusun rapi untuk menciptakan suatu aktivitas kepada murid guna mencapai tujuan pembelajaran. Salah satu strategi pembelajaran yang tepat ialah strategi kolaboratif karena dianggap pembelajaran kolaboratif dapat menyediakan peluang untuk menuju pada kesuksesan praktek-praktek pembelajaran. Strategi pembelajaran kolaboratif melibatkan partisipasi aktif para mahasiswa dan meminimisasi perbedaan-perbedaan antar individu. Strategi tersebut menekankan pada kegiatan kelompok. Kegiatan kelompok ini sangat berguna untuk membangun hubungan yang baik antar mahasiswa.
