Estudio de las acumulaciones de conejo (Oryctolagus cuniculus) procedentes de tres hoyos calcolíticos de El Casetón de la Era.
Authors: Carbajo Arana María
Published: June 2020

This paper analyzes the rabbit remains (Oryctolagus cuniculus) from three chalcolithic pits of El Casetón de la Era (Villalba de los Alcores, Valladolid), to contribute to the identification of the agent of accu¬mulation in each of the structures. The analysis of anatomical representation, mortality profiles, fragmentation and bone surface modifications allow us to suggest a natural origin possibly associated with burrows for one of the assemblages, while for the other two assemblages, human is proposed as the accumulating agent.
“My Hands Are Tied”: Abortion Restrictions and Providers’ Experiences in Religious and Nonreligious Health Care Systems
Authors: Hasselbacher Lee A. , Hebert Luciana E. , Liu Yuan , Stulberg Debra B.
Published: June 2020

CONTEXT

Abortion is generally prohibited in Catholic hospitals, but less is known about abortion restrictions in other religiously affiliated health care facilities. As religiously affiliated health systems expand in the United States, it is important to understand how religious restrictions affect the practices of providers who treat pregnant patients.

METHODS

From September 2016 to May 2018, in‐depth interviews were conducted with 31 key informants (clinical providers, ethicists, chaplains and health system administrators) with experience working in secular, Protestant or Catholic health care systems in Illinois. A thematic content approach was used to identify themes related to participants’ experiences with abortion policies, the role of ethics committees, the impact on patient care and conflicts with hospital policies.

RESULTS

Few limitations on abortion were reported in secular hospitals, while Catholic hospitals prohibited most abortions, and a Protestant‐affiliated system banned abortions deemed “elective.” Religiously affiliated hospitals allowed abortions in specific cases, if approved through an ethics consultation. Interpretation of system‐wide policies varied by hospital, with some indication that institutional discomfort with abortion influenced policy as much as religious teachings did. Providers constrained by religious restrictions referred or transferred patients desiring abortion, including for pregnancy complications, with those in Protestant hospitals having more latitude to directly refer such patients. As a result of religiously influenced policies, patients could encounter delays, financial obstacles, restrictions on treatment and stigmatization.

CONCLUSIONS

Patients seeking abortion or presenting with pregnancy complications at Catholic and Protestant hospitals may encounter more delays and fewer treatment options than they would at secular hospitals. More research is needed to better understand the implications for women's access to reproductive health care.
Fast laser beam steering into multiple diffraction orders with a single digital micromirror device for time-of-flight lidar
Authors: Rodriguez Joshua , Smith Braden , Hellman Brandon , Takashima Yuzuru
Published: June 2020

The sampling rate and angular resolution of diffraction-based beam steering employing a digital micromirror device (DMD) can be simultaneously enhanced by at least an order of magnitude by synchronizing multiple nanosecond laser sources and pulses during each DMD actuation. A time-of-flight single-chip DMD lidar with three sources measures a range at a 3.34 kHz sampling rate and a 3.4° angular resolution across a 48° field of view. Employing multiple diffraction orders of the DMD improves the sampling rate at least by a factor of 2 and up to the number of diffraction orders supported by the DMD. An improved sampling rate of 6.68 kHz with a 9.6° angular resolution is experimentally demonstrated by illuminating micromirrors multiple times within a single transition period of the micromirrors.

Published: June 2020

A novel random laser, integrating a passive optical fiber with a phase separated aluminosilicate core–silica cladding as the feedback medium, is proposed and presented. The core exhibits greatly enhanced Rayleigh scattering, therefore requiring a significantly reduced length of scattering fiber (4 m) for lasing. With a Yb-doped fiber as the gain medium, the fiber laser operates at 1050 nm with low threshold power and possesses an output that can be amplified through conventional means. Furthermore, the laser was found to have a high degree of spatial coherence, spectral broadening with increasing input power, and temporal spectral variation. The facile setup and results herein pave the way for further study and applications based on low threshold random fiber lasers.

Aim: The objective of this study was to assess a new lead system method to improve electrocardiographic measurement in horses.

Materials and Methods: Twenty-two horses with an average age of 8.8±0.8 years were enrolled in this study. Horses were divided into two groups, consisting of a control group (n=11) and athlete group (n=11). Electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography were performed to provide information on the structure and function of the heart. Two lead systems, base apex and modified precordial leads, were used for the electrocardiogram to assess the cardiac electrophysiological functions.

Results: PR interval, QT interval, and QRS-T angle presented significant differences between the control and athlete groups when the modified precordial lead system was used. However, significant variations in the mean electrical axis were found when the base apex lead system was used. The modified precordial lead system resulted in more significant differences in cardiac electrophysiological parameters than the base apex lead system. In the athlete group, echocardiography showed cardiac adaptations such as increases in the left atrial and left ventricular dimensions and stroke volume and a decrease in heart rate in response to exercise and training. The observed differences in cardiac morphology and function between groups suggested differences in health performance in the athlete group.

Conclusion: These data provided the first evidence that the modified precordial lead system improved statistical variation in ECG recording and provided the most reliable method for health screening in horses.

Water salinity is a crucial factor in Kissing Gourami (Helostoma temminckii) culture. Therefore, information regarding suitable and optimum medium for the ecophysiological requirement of fish is needed. Salinity is one physiological factor that affects both the survival and growth rate of fish as it is related to the osmoregulation process. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of different water salinity on, growth, survival rate, osmotic activity and blood picture of Kissing Gourami seed nursery. Fish was cultured in various salinity levels: 0 ppt (A), 1 ppt (B), 3 ppt (C), and 5 ppt (D). Salinity level significantly affected the survival rate, absolute weight growth, absolute length growth, specific growth rate, and blood picture of Kissing Gourami seed nursery. It was found that the Kissing Gourami seeds had the optimum growth on the salinity of 3 ppt, that was further shown by 82,00% of survival rate, 2,42% ±2,81 g/day of specific growth rate obtained. The results showed a positive correlation of the biological value of fish with the content of osmotic gradient, blood glucose, hematocrit, hemoglobin, erythrocytes amount, and water quality parameters (dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, and ammonia).

Published: June 2020

Pod shattering is one of the sources of yield losses during soybean cultivation in Indonesia. This research aimed to identify the resistant genotypes to pod shattering and the performance of its agronomic characters. The field study was conducted in the dry land of South Lampung from May to August 2017 using twelve soybean genotypes. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design with four replicates. The observation of pod shattering was using oven-dry and sun-drying methods. The result showed that a rise temperature of oven increased the pod shattering. The rates of shattering on oven temperature of 30 °C, 40 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C were of 0, 8.26%, 46.13%, and 51.06%, respectively. The rate of shattering of oven-dry method at 60 °C ranged from 3.62 – 87.23%. On the sun-drying method, the rate of shattering after 15 days treatment was ranged from 0 – 67.36%. The screening for pod shattering by using the oven-dry method has successfully obtained two resistant varieties to pod shattering (Anjasmoro and G511H/Anj-1-3), whereas by using the sun-drying method there were three resistant genotypes (Anjasmoro, G511H/Anj-1-3, G511H/Anjasmoro-1-4). The evaluation of shattering resistance using oven-dry method resulted in a higher pressure than those of by sun-drying method. The Anjasmoro variety and G511H/Anj-1-3  showed consistent resistance to pod shattering by both methods. The G511H/Anj-1-3produced high yield, have large seed size and early days ofmaturity. Thus, the G511H/Anj-1-3was potentially be developed in Indonesiaand other tropical regions. The availability of a high yield and shattering resistant genotype will be beneficial to increase soybean productivity.

O efeito da adição de quito-oligossacarídeos modificados com glucose (COS-Glc), com potencial atividade prebiótica em uma bebida smoothie foi avaliado durante a estocagem. Duas formulações de bebida probiótica foram elaboradas com iogurte probiótico (60%) e polpa de manga (40%), sendo a formulação F1 adicionada de 2,0% de COS-Glc e a formulação F2 (controle) sem COS-Glc. Uma cultura probiótica comercial (Bifidobacterium lactis ssp.) foi utilizada em ambas as formulações. Os produtos foram avaliados quanto à qualidade higiênico-sanitária, composição físico-química, acidez titulável, sinérese e viabilidade dos micro-organismos (contagem seletiva de Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus e Bifidobacterium spp.) após 1 dia de fabricação. Verificou-se a viabilidade dos microrganismos, a qualidade higiênico-sanitária e as características físico-químicas (acidez titulável e sinérese) das bebidas ao longo de 30 dias mantidas à 8 ± 1 °C. A qualidade higiênico-sanitária foi satisfatória e as bebidas se mostraram aptas para o consumo. A adição de quito-oligossacarídeos modificados na bebida probiótica favoreceu o aumento da acidez titulável e da sinérese. A formulação F1 apresentou valores significativamente superiores de sólidos totais, fibras totais e carboidratos quando comparados à F2. A adição de COS-Glc não afetou a viabilidade dos micro-organismos probióticos na bebida ao longo da estocagem, os quais permaneceram em doses recomendadas para exercer o efeito terapêutico. A combinação de COS-Glc e probióticos podem ser utilizados juntos para a produção de bebidas lácteas tipo smoothie sem afetar as caraterísticas do produto, conferindo ainda valor adicional ao produto devido a incorporação de um ingrediente com potencial atividade prebiótica.

COVID-19 and Geriatric Dentistry: What will be the new-normal?
Authors: Marchini Leonardo , Ettinger Ronald L.
Published: June 2020

Older adults may face many barriers when accessing oral health care. The most vulnerable groups are people living in long term care institutions and the homebound. These barriers are related but not limited to socio-economic issues, medical and oral health problems. Some socio-economic problems are lack of finances, absence of dental insurance, lack of social support networks, and being institutionalized. Some general health problems are multiple co-morbidities, polypharmacy, dementia, and reduced autonomy. Some oral health problems are having heavily restored dentitions, dry mouth, root caries, and inability to maintain adequate oral hygiene independently. In addition to these existing barriers, many new barriers have arisen which are expected to further reduce access to oral health care for older adults due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Older adults are at greater risk of fatal outcomes from COVID-19 infection and many dental procedures have an increased risk of creating aerosols, thereby spreading COVID-19 infection. Consequently, older adults due to fear are less likely to seek or receive oral health care until a treatment or vaccine is developed for COVID-19 infections. In this article, the authors discuss the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic to the practice of geriatric dentistry, and what is expected to be the “new normal” in this field of dentistry. KeywordsAged; COVID-19; Geriatric dentistry; Older adults,;Oral health; SARS-CoV-2.

Background: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) belongs to a heterogeneous group of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions involving the temporomandibular joint complex, musculature and adjacent components. These conditions can generate signs and symptoms and be influenced by an altered biopsychosocial condition. Objective: This study aims to seek information to assist the patient in the presence of TMD signs and symptoms and Orofacial Pain, associated with the period of social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and methods: For the preparation of this manual, a bibliographic search was performed in the databases PubMed, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), BBO (BVS), Scopus, Web of Science and The Cochrane Library, using the keywords: orofacial pain, temporomandibular disorders, bruxism, stress, anxiety, biopsychosocial, diagnosis, self-care with important information on how to reduce and control the signs and symptoms of TMD and Orofacial Pain in this moment of pandemic that we are experiencing a social detachment. Results: The results show that the pandemic of COVID-19 and the need for social isolation, generates psychological impact that raises the pattern of anxiety and can directly affect patients with bruxism and TMD. Conclusion: Psychological factors associated with the pandemic can lead to an increased risk of developing, worsening and perpetuating bruxism, especially waking bruxism and TMD, so dentists should be aware of the occurrence of signs and symptoms to manage the multifactorial aspects of this condition. At that time, individual self-management strategies are advised for the patient, which consist of self-massage techniques, body education, exercise practices, sleep hygiene, meditation and making available the use of tools and online devices that facilitate this activity.KeywordsOrofacial pain; Temporomandibular disorders; Bruxism; Stress; Anxiety; Biopsychosocial; Diagnosis; Self-care; COVID-19.
Covid-19 and dental emergencies: reflections on teledentistry
Authors: Gasparoni Alberto , Kanellis Michael J
Published: June 2020

Early in 2020, the COVID-19 virus spread throughout the world. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic due to the level of spread and the severity of the disease. In efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the number of new infections and deaths, people around the world took steps that had not been taken in modern history. As countries and locales issued “shelter in place edicts” the economic and social impact on businesses and professions was dramatic. The field of dentistry was similarly affected as edicts were made by governmental officials that elective dental procedures be stopped. In the state of Iowa, Governor Kim Reynolds issued a proclamation mandating that effective March 27, 2020 all dentists and their staff refrain from performing “elective dental procedures and nonessential or elective surgeries”. With this turn of events, dental practices across the state were effectively shut down, only being allowed to treat emergency patients. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Iowa Dental Board, Delta Dental of Iowa, and the University of Iowa College of Dentistry shared an interest in exploring telehealth as a means of improving access to dental care for vulnerable populations. While steady progress was being made prior to the Pandemic, once the practice of dentistry in Iowa was restricted, the interest in telehealth, or “Teledentistry” soared. At the University Of Iowa College Of Dentistry, procedures were put in place to allow all emergency patients to be triaged through Teledentistry prior to being appointed in the Clinic. Using synchronous Teledentistry systems, “e-visits” prior to emergency care became the “new normal”. Patients calling in for an emergency appointment were offered a menu of options for these e-visits including: 1) phone call; 2) phone call and sharing of images; or 3) a ZOOM meeting. All e-visits were provided by Dental faculty members at the University of Iowa with experience overseeing patient care in the Dental Emergency Clinic ranging from three to ten years. Final decisions on appointing patients were made by the provider based on existing records (when available), subjective symptoms (pain), objective findings (visible swelling), patients distress level, expectations and availability. During the initial 8-weeks following closure of our dental clinics (March 16-May 15), a total of 491 patients were seen in our dental emergency clinics, all of whom had been triaged by phone calls or e-visits. Most Patients reported overall satisfaction about the procedure. Based on our experience, Teledentistry (e-visits) are a useful tool to help in prioritizing dental emergencies.KeywordsTeledentistry; E-visits; Zoom visits.

Published: June 2020

AbstractViruses can spread to the environment, and it can be challenging to clear it. A direct approach to limit airborne transmission of pathogens in dental clinic offices is to inactivate viruses within a short time of their production and block the person-to-person transmission routes in dental clinics. For this, we can use chemical substances on surfaces and germicidal ultraviolet light (UV), typically at 254 nm, for complementary disinfection of surfaces and air contaminated by aerosols produced by high-speed handpiece or ultrasound scaler. Based on the literature review and the similarity of Sars-Cov-2 with other previously studied corovaviruses, COVID-19 is sensitive to UV irradiation that can break the genome of this virus, inactivating it. In our study, we performed the calculation of the time required to decontaminate a dental care room between each patient change. We can conclude that the use of UVC can be incorporated into the dental care routine to reduce cross contamination.KeywordsUVC-decontamination; Sterilization; Ultraviolet light; Dentistry; Sars-Cov-2.

Authors: Medeiros Jacimária Fonseca de , Cestaro Luiz Antonio
Published: June 2020

A abordagem sistêmica tem sido amplamente disseminada, com significativa aceitação e aplicabilidade na ciência geográfica, principalmente na Geografia Física. A abordagem geossistêmica se refere, muitas vezes apenas ao simples agrupamento de informações temáticas sobre os elementos naturais, empregando a sobreposição de mapas e a interpretação visual como as principais técnicas para individualização e espacialização das unidades homogêneas. Nesse sentido, esse artigo objetiva apresentar a compartimentação geoambiental da Serra de Martins-RN, realizada com suporte na abordagem sistêmica e utilizando a análise multivariada de agrupamento (cluster analysis) como técnica de identificação e de espacialização das unidades geoambientais. Os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados seguiram a ordem: tratamento e análise dos dados, taxonomia das unidades, descrições físico-geográficas, tabulação, e cartografia. Para a aplicação das técnicas estatísticas foi utilizado um conjunto de dados envolvendo variáveis geológicas, geomorfológicas, pedológicas, fitogeográficas e de cobertura da terra, das quais foram selecionadas as mais significativas aplicando-se a técnica de Análise de Componentes Principais a partir da variância mínima. O método possibilitou identificar e espacializar seis Classes de Fácies. Ao final, constatou-se que, embora exista conhecimento mais aprofundado em manipulação de dados e no uso de técnicas complexas, a aplicação de tratamento estatístico mostrou-se objetiva e eficaz para a compartimentação geoambiental.
Wasiat untuk Ahli Waris: Kritik Ekstern dan Intern Autentisitas Hadis-hadis Iarangan Wasiat untuk Ahli Waris
Authors: Sugiri Asep
Published: June 2020

As one of the Islamic sources of law, hadith is always confronted with two challenges: reinterpretation and origination. Either of these two will appear any time the teaching it contents considered fail adjusting to social need and change. This holds true, for instance, in the matter of bequest to an heir. As is well-known, Islamic law of inheritance prescribes two restrictions upon bequest: first, a bequest may not exceed one-third of the estate and second, a bequest may not be made in favour of an heir. However, modern Muslim personal law, like in Egypt and Sudan, shows the contrary especially to the second restriction. Muslims of these two countries may legally make a bequest to whom he will, whether heirs or non-heirs. This directly runs counter to the hadith: "la waṣiyyah li-wārith" (no bequest to an heir). But the reforrners argue that the hadith is poorly attested. David S. Powers even suggest that the hadith is a false one. The hadith scientific approach Proposed in this article to the hadiths, as shown in al-kutub at-tis'ah, proved to corroborates the argument, albeit differs slightly with Powers' suggestion.

Undang-undang No. 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan tidak mengatur kasus perkawinan antar agama secara jelas dan pasti. Ketiadaan pasal yang mengatur masalah tersebut memaksa pasangan berbeda agama yang akan menikah untuk berpindah ke agama salah satu calon, apakah itu agama yang dipeluk oleh suami atau istri. Ini cukup aneh jika kita melihat prinsip kebebasan beragama yang dipandang sebagai hak asasi dan dijamin melalui UUD. Pasal 2 ayat (1) UU Perkawinan ini menegaskan bahwa perkawinan dipandang sah bila dilaksanakan berdasarkan agama dam keyakinan calon mempelai. Oleh karena itu, semestinya juga ada undang-undang yang mengatur model perkawinan beda agama demi kepastian hukum dalam konteks masyarakat Indonesia yang secara agama sangat majemuk. Tinjauan hukum tentang problematika dan solusi terkait dengan masalah perkawinan beda agama dibahas dalam artikel ini dengan pendekatan multi aspek.
Revisiting the Javanese Muslim Slametan: Islam, Local Tradition, Honor and Symbolic Communication
Authors: Nasir Mohamad Abdun
Published: June 2020

Slametan, referring to a broad communal prayer, feast, and food-offering to commemorate or celebrate critical live cycles, such as birth, marriage, and death, constitutes an essential ritual for Javanese Muslims. Despite growing Islamization, in which this ritual is often renamed as tahlilan, elements of local beliefs in it remain. This study aims to re-examine the Javanese Muslim death ritual tradition and offers a new interpretation. It explores the elements of local belief and its convergence with the universal Islamic teaching and demonstrates that the Javanese norms fit the fundamental Islamic doctrines, rendering this ritual easily acceptable by the Javanese. This study concurs with the previous studies stating that this ritual paves tolerance and social integration and unites Islam and local tradition. However, this study specifically examines the meanings of the death ritual and argues that the idea of honoring predecessors and maintaining an uninterrupted symbolic communication between the alive, namely descendants, and the dead such as late parents and forebears, constitute common Javanese and Islamic values. [Slametan merupakan salah satu ritus penting bagi muslim Jawa yang berupa doa dan makan bersama serta berbagi makanan untuk memperingati atau merayakan peralihan daur hidup seperti kelahiran, pernikahan dan kematian. Meskipun Islamisasi terus berlanjut, ritus yang sering disebut juga dengan tahlilan ini masih menyisakan unsur-unsur kepercayaan lokal. Dalam artikel ini akan ditinjau kembali ritus tradisi kematian muslim Jawa dan menawarkan sebuah interpretasi baru. Tulisan ini juga mengeksplorasi unsur-unsur lokal yang menemukan titik temu dengan ajaran nilai universal dalam Islam serta menunjukkan kesepahaman norma Jawa dengan doktrin dasar Islam sehingga ritus ini mudah diterima oleh orang Jawa. Tulisan ini juga sependapat dengan kajian-kajian sebelumnya yang menyatakan bahwa ritus ini menguatkan pondasi toleransi, integrasi sosial dan penyatuan Islam dengan tradisi lokal. Meskipun demikian tulisan ini fokus pada pemaknaan ritus kematian dan berpendapat bahwa penghormatan pada leluhur serta menjaga komunikasi simbolik antara yang meninggal dan dan yang hidup, terutama yang ditinggalkan merupakan hal yang umum dalam nilai-nilai Kejawaan dan Keislaman.]
The Symbols and Myths of Rice in Sasak’s Culture: A Portrait of Hybrid Islam in Lombok
Authors: Saharudin Saharudin
Published: June 2020

This article aims at discussing two important points of rice ethnophilosophy in Sasak society. First, it explains how various symbols of language and culture and local mythos of rice in agricultural Sasak society experienced reinterpretation over key concepts of Islamic Worldview. Second, it illuminates how those modified symbols and mythos in Sasak society contains similarities with the ones in Malay culture as recorded in Hikayat Asay Pade manuscript and Kitab Berladang. The study uses ethnohermeneutic method in reading the text in the context of Sasak culture. The result shows some points of transformation in the symbols and mythos about rice in Sasak culture after being adapted to Islamic Worldview. The reinterpretation clarifies a spirited ethnophilosophy about harmony and equilibration of human life with nature and God. Adaptation conducted by the Islamic carrier among the agricultural Sasak society at the beginning of Islamic influence exemplifies how the spreading of Islam was undertaken peacefully through the confirmation of symbols and local mythos to maintain stability and harmony.[Tulisan ini mendiskusikan tentang simbol (bahasa dan budaya) dan mitos padi lokal dalam masyarakat Sasak agraris yang mengalami reinterpretasi setelah konsep-konsep kunci Islamic worldview mulai diadaptasi dan disebarkan oleh para penyebar Islam awal di kalangan petani tradisional. Selanjutnya, didiskusikan pula tentang persinggungan simbol dan mitos lokal Sasak tersebut (setelah mengalami reinterpretasi dengan konsep-konsep kunci Islam) dengan budaya Melayu yang terekam dalam manuskrip Hikayat Asay Pade dan Kitab Berladang. Berdasarkan hasil pembacaan dengan metode etnohermeneutik dapat dipahami tentang apa saja hasil reinterpretasi masyarakat Sasak agraris mengenai simbol dan mitos padi lokal setelah mengalami persentuhan dan penyesuaian dengan Islamic worldview. Hasil reinterpretasi tersebut menjelaskan pandangan budaya (etnofilosofi) yang sangat bernas tentang harmonisasi dan keseimbangan hidup manusia dengan Tuhan dan alam. Selain itu, adaptasi yang dilakukan oleh penyebar Islam awal di kalangan masyarakat Sasak agaris ini merupakan contoh bagaimana Islam disebarkan dengan damai dan adaptif terhadap simbol dan mitos lokal supaya keseimbangan dan keharmonian tetap terjaga.]
INDONESIAN CONSTITUTIONAL COURT’S DECISION NO. 97/PUU-XIV/2016: A CHANCE TO ENCOURAGE RECONCILIATION BETWEEN “AGAMA” AND “KEPERCAYAAN”
Authors: Ruswanda Asep Sandi
Published: June 2020

AbstractThis paper discussed the Constitutional Court’s decision in  2017 as a chance to encourage reconciliation of “agama” and “kepercayaan.” This paper collects responses from religious organizations through statements on the internet such as online media, the organization’s official website, or even official social media. The data is then classified based on religious affiliation and their attitude towards the Constitutional Court’s decision in 2017. On 7 November 2017, the Constitutional Court granted a judicial review of Law No. 23/2006 amended by Law No. 24 of 2013 concerning Civic Administration (UU Adminduk). This law is very significant for the group of “kepercayaan.” However, the group of “agama” has not yet fully accepted the group of “kepercayaan.” So, there needs to be reconciliation between groups of “agama” and “kepercayaan” after the decision of the Constitutional Court in 2017. By looking at the importance of the decision, it is also truly an opportunity to stop discrimination and social stigma against followers of “kepercayaan.” This paper concluded that the decision of the Constitutional Court in 2017 was an opportunity to encourage reconciliation between “agama” and “kepercayaan.”Keywords: Constitutional Court’s decision, agama, kepercayaan, reconciliation

A Contribution to a European Strategy for the Well-being of Citizens in the Face of Automation
Authors: Plo Seco Máximo
Published: June 2020

This article investigates the current and expected impact of automation technology in the well-being of European citizens. First, we explore the technical, social and economic factors that determine technological progress and the implementation of the new technologies. Second, we review the expected impact of automation on employment. Finally, we assess the impact that automation will have on the well-being of European citizens in light of the two first sections. To this end, we draw on the expected asymmetrical impact of automation in people with different education levels and on current inequality trends. Throughout the article, we use a normative approach, prescribing what European policy makers should take into account in light of our findings. We find that it is unclear what the net effect of technology on employment will be, but automation of non-routine manual and cognitive tasks will displace a significant percentage of workers. We find that current trends of increasing inequalities will intensify due to the fact that automation will affect more low-skilled workers. We find that the current institutional design of the European Union is unfit to tackle educational and social protection challenges. We can therefore expect social resistance to technological progress and political instability in the years to come.
La prueba financiera en la jurisprudencia sobre el delito de trata de personas
Authors: Lafont Nicuesa Luis
Published: June 2020

La investigación financiera del delito de trata de personas va adquiriendo gradualmente una mayor importancia. Puede configurar delitos específicos como el de blanqueo de capitales o contra la hacienda pública, medidas accesorias como el decomiso y perfilar una contundente prueba indiciaria que avale la prueba testifical de la víctima asegurando así la correspondiente condena. En este trabajo además de dar unas pautas generales sobre el concepto e importancia de la investigación financiera vamos a analizar las diferencias en la financiación entre las redes de trata y de inmigración ilegal, así como los aspectos que están tomando en consideración los tribunales en el ámbito financiero para dar crédito al testimonio de la víctima.
TPACK – time to reboot?
Authors: Saubern Ralph , Henderson Michael , Heinrich Eva , Redmond Petrea
Published: June 2020

In this paper we explore and challenge the trajectory of research scholarship in the area of Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK). In doing so we adopt the position, as elaborated in Harris et al.’s (2017) editorial, that TPACK research is in need of addressing two key questions: What do teachers need to know in order to integrate technology effectively in the classroom and how can they best develop that knowledge? In order to explore this concern we undertook a review of research using the TPACK framework published in the Australasian Journal of Educational Technology over the last five years. The resulting 22 papers in which the TPACK framework was used substantially as a theoretical or methodological base for the research was analysed in regards to how TPACK scholarship is developing in relation to the research directions set out in the Harris et al.’s (2017) special edition editorial. The review concludes that much of the research identified focused on exploring, critiquing and validating the structure of the TPACK diagram and the seven components it describes. However, we argue that this focus has distracted researchers from addressing the key goals of TPACK and advancing understanding of effective teaching with technology. We conclude that there is a need for a fundamental shift in the trajectory of TPACK research, that is, to pay greater attention to understanding the knowledge that teachers need to use technology effectively for teaching and learning.
Vocabulary development in a CLIL context: A comparison between French and English L2

Published: June 2020

Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) has expanded in Europe, favored by the large body of research, often showing positive effects of CLIL on L2 development. However, critical voices have recently questioned whether these positive findings apply to any language, given that most research focuses on English. Taking into account this concern, the present study investigated the (productive and receptive) vocabulary development in L2 English and L2 French of the same group of learners within a CLIL context. The aim was not to evaluate the benefits of CLIL over non-CLIL, but, instead, to examine whether vocabulary gains in CLIL learning are language-dependent. More specifically, this study included 75 Flemish eight-grade pupils who had CLIL lessons in both English and French. The results show that although the pupils have a larger English vocabulary, the level of improvement (from pretest to posttest) is not different across the languages. The findings indicate that within CLIL vocabulary knowledge also develops in languages other than English.
Atomic commitment across blockchains
Authors: Zakhary Victor , Agrawal Divyakant , El Abbadi Amr
Published: June 2020

The recent adoption of blockchain technologies and open permissionless networks suggest the importance of peer-to-peer atomic cross-chain transaction protocols. Users should be able to atomically exchange tokens and assets without depending on centralized intermediaries such as exchanges. Recent peer-to-peer atomic cross-chain swap protocols use hashlocks and timelocks to ensure that participants comply to the protocol. However, an expired timelock could lead to a violation of the all-or-nothing atomicity property. An honest participant who fails to execute a smart contract on time due to a crash failure, denial of service attacks or even network delays might end up losing assets. Although a crashed participant is the only participant who ends up worse off, current proposals are unsuitable for atomic cross-chain transactions in asynchronous environments where crash failures and network delays are the norm. In this paper, we present AC

WN, the first decentralized all-or-nothing atomic cross-chain commitment protocol. The redeem and refund events of the smart contracts that exchange assets are modeled as conflicting events. An open permissionless network of witnesses is used to guarantee that conflicting events could never simultaneously occur and either all smart contracts in an atomic cross-chain transaction are redeemed or all of them are refunded.
ARDA

Automatic machine learning (AML) is a family of techniques to automate the process of training predictive models, aiming to both improve performance and make machine learning more accessible. While many recent works have focused on aspects of the machine learning pipeline like model selection, hyperparameter tuning, and feature selection, relatively few works have focused on automatic data augmentation. Automatic data augmentation involves finding new features relevant to the user's predictive task with minimal "human-in-the-loop" involvement.

We present ARDA, an end-to-end system that takes as input a dataset and a data repository, and outputs an augmented data set such that training a predictive model on this augmented dataset results in improved performance. Our system has two distinct components: (1) a framework to search and join data with the input data, based on various attributes of the input, and (2) an efficient feature selection algorithm that prunes out noisy or irrelevant features from the resulting join. We perform an extensive empirical evaluation of different system components and benchmark our feature selection algorithm on real-world datasets.
