Authors: Untoro Bambang
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the influence of group investigation, the difference between auditory and visual students, and the interaction between group investigation and learning style on students’ writing of analytical exposition. It was a quasi-experimental conducted for the second graders of SMA Islam Al-Azhar BSD. The findings revealed that there was an influence of group investigation on students’ writing of analytical exposition. The writing of students that experienced the group investigation model was better than those who had the conventional one. There was a significant difference between auditory students and visual students on their writing of analytical exposition. In both groups, the visual students had better achievement than the auditory ones. However, the visual and auditory students in experimental group had higher improvement. There was also a significant interaction between group investigation and learning style on students’ writing of analytical exposition. It could be concluded that applying a group investigation model was recommended in teaching writing of analytical exposition. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki pengaruh model pembelajaran investigasi kelompok, perbedaan antara siswa bergaya belajar audio dan visual, dan interaksi antara model investigasi kelompok dan gaya belajar terhadap kemampuan menulis analytical exposition siswa. Penelitian ini merupakan eksperimen semu yang dilakukan pada siswa kelas XI SMA Islam Al-Azhar BSD. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara siswa yang diajarkan melalui investigasi kelompok dengan siwa yang diajarkan secara konvensional, terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara siswa bergaya belajar audio dengan siswa bergaya belajar visual. Siswa visual cenderung berkemampuan menulis lebih bagus daripada siswa audio. Namun, ditinjau dari kedua gaya belajar tersebut, siswa pada kelas eksperimen berkemampuan menulis lebih bagus daripada siswa pada kelompok kontrol. Terdapat interaksi yang signifikan antara investigasi kelompok dan gaya belajar terhadap kemampuan menulis siswa. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa model pembelajaran investigasi kelompok sesuai untuk pengajaran menulis analytical exposition. How to Cite: Untoro, B. (2016).

Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT The purposes of this research were to investigate learners’ perception in teaching English using Bahasa and English, learners’ preference for language use as the medium of instruction, and the subjects that can be taught by using Bahasa. The participants were 57 EFL learners in the fourth semester at a university in Jambi Province, Indonesia. This research was designed in mix method by distributing a questionnaire and conducting a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) as the data collection techniques. The findings showed that the students were excited to have English as the medium of instruction in their classroom. However, they also welcome the L1 (Bahasa Indonesia). In addition, the learners preferred to have English as the medium of instruction in their English classroom. In view of this, the use of both their L1 and L2 should be balanced. Moreover, concerning the subjects taught, the learners need the use of English especially in the Listening and Speaking classrooms. ABSTRAK Penelitian in bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi mahasiswa mengenai pengajaran Bahasa Inggris dengan menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia dan Bahasa Inggris, pilihan mahasiswa dalam penggunaan bahasa tersebut sebagai media pengajaran di dalam kelas, dan jenis – jenis pelajaran yang bisa diajarkan dengan menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia. Peserta dalam penelitian ini adalah 57 mahasiswa semester empat pada salah satu universitas di Provinsi Jambi, Sumatra, Indonesia yang diambil melalui purposive sampling. Penelitian ini didesain dalam metode campuran melalui angket dan Diskusi Kelompok Terarah (FGD).  Hasil yang didapat menunjukkan bahwa siswa sangat senang menggunakan Bahasa Inggris dalam pengajaran di kelas. Namun, siswa juga tidak keberatan dengan penggunaan Bahasa Indonesia. Sebagai tambahan, siswa lebih memilih penggunaan Bahasa Inggris sebagai media pengajaran di dalam kelas. Oleh karena itu, penggunaan kedua Bahasa tersebut haruslah seimbang. Terkait dengan mata pelajaran, mahasiswa lebih memilih penggunaan Bahasa Inggris hanya dalam pengajaran “menyimak (listening)” dan “berbicara (speaking)” How to Cite: Haryanto, E. Sulistiyo, U.

In 2009, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) established the Pediatric Terminology Harmonization Initiative to establish a core library of terms to facilitate the acquisition and sharing of knowledge between pediatric clinical research, practice, and safety reporting. A coalition of partners established a Pediatric Terminology Adverse Event Working Group in 2013 to develop a specific terminology relevant to international pediatric adverse event (AE) reporting. Pediatric specialists with backgrounds in clinical care, research, safety reporting, or informatics, supported by biomedical terminology experts from the National Cancer Institute’s Enterprise Vocabulary Services participated. The multinational group developed a working definition of AEs and reviewed concepts (terms, synonyms, and definitions) from 16 pediatric clinical domains. The resulting AE terminology contains >1000 pediatric diseases, disorders, or clinical findings. The terms were tested for proof of concept use in 2 different settings: hospital readmissions and the NICU. The advantages of the AE terminology include ease of adoption due to integration with well-established and internationally accepted biomedical terminologies, a uniquely temporal focus on pediatric health and disease from conception through adolescence, and terms that could be used in both well- and underresourced environments. The AE terminology is available for use without restriction through the National Cancer Institute’s Enterprise Vocabulary Services and is fully compatible with, and represented in, the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities. The terminology is intended to mature with use, user feedback, and optimization.

Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy for Adrenal Tumor Larger than 5 cm
Authors: Yang Hee Jo , Jeon Youn Soo
Published: December 2016

Objective: The adrenal gland is small and located in difficult area to approach, anatomically. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) is considered as a best approach for the treatment for adrenal tumors. However, its role in removal of larger tumor (>5 cm) is still questioned due to concerns of complexity of procedure. We evaluate technical feasibility and analyze the outcome of LA for large adrenal masses. Methods: The data of 36 patients who underwent LA for adrenal mass were analyzed for this study. Group 1 (n=27, mean diameter= 2.43 cm) consisted of tumors smaller than 5 cm and group 2 (n=9, mean diameter=5.64 cm) consisted of larger than 5 cm. The length of operation time, estimated blood loss, analgesics usage, length of hospital stay, histopathology, tumor size, and perioperative complications were compared. Results: All operation was completed safely and no one required conversion to open surgery. Group 1 (146.48 minutes) had a significantly shorter mean operative time compared to group 2 (181.00 minutes) (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the postoperative hospital stay, time to remove the drainage, estimated blood loss, and the number of analgesics usage. No major complication was occurred during and after operation but one case of pulmonary congestion was occurred in group 2. Histopathologic findings were 20 cortical adenomas (55.6%), 3 cystic lesions (8.3%), and 3 malignant lesions (8.3%). Conclusion: LA is safe and feasible for large adrenal tumors without local invasion. The size of an adrenal tumor should not be the primary factor in determining whether a LA should be performed.

Authors: Bang Hae In , Choi Tae Youn
Published: December 2016

Objective: Disinfectants are essential for public health and environmental hygiene. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of Medizyme-Plus (Soosan Co. Ltd., Seongnam, Korea) developed for cleansing prior to disinfection/sterilization, against bacteria and yeasts. Methods: Clinical isolates were exposed to Medizyme-Plus (a product containing quaternary ammonium and a protease, amylase, and lipase) for various periods (0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes). After exposure, the mixtures of isolates and Medizyme-Plus were inoculated into tryptic soy broths. To enumerate the surviving bacteria or yeasts, treated isolates were inoculated onto solid agar media (blood agar, MacConkey agar, and Sabouraud dextrose agar) and cultured at 35°C . Results: All strains of bacteria and yeasts showed a 5-log10 reduction within 0.5 minutes of exposure to Medizyme-Plus. Conclusion: Medizyme-Plus can be used as a low-level disinfectant, in addition to cleanser, for hospital infection control. It will be necessary to perform disinfection/sterilization after cleansing with Medizyme-Plus.

Published: December 2016

Tuberculous meningitis is a well-known cause of hypothalamic pituitary dysfunction. However, deficiencies of anterior pituitary hormones may only become evident years after recovery because symptoms are of insidious-onset and nonspecific. Pituitary hormones are essential for normal growth and sexual development in childhood, and for maintenance of healthy body composition. In addition, pituitary hormones and vitamin D are important for cardiovascular and bone health. Although evidence of the relationship between hypovitaminosis D and hypopituitarism is limited, some studies suggested that the incidence of vitamin D deficiency increased in hypopituitarism. We describe herein an unusual case of hypopituitarism and severe hypovitaminosis D presenting as osteoporotic fracture after cured tuberculous meningitis.
Life-Threatening Complications of Endotracheal Stenting Caused by Respiratory Secretions
Authors: Shin Sooim , Lee Ye Jin , Kang Hye Rin , Song Jin Hwa , Park Young Sik
Published: December 2016

Airway stenting has become a common treatment for malignant central airway obstruction. Most airway stents are well tolerated, and life-threatening complications are very rare. Here we describe the case of a life-threatening obstruction due to accumulated respiratory secretions. A 33-year-old man had a massive large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma in the anterior mediastinum, which caused extensive extrinsic compression of the whole trachea. Airway stents were successfully inserted into the whole trachea but 1 week after the procedure, the patient complained of worsening dyspnea due to sticky respiratory secretions accumulated inside the stents. Because the patient could not expectorate a large amount of sticky secretions, frequent bronchoscopic toiletings were performed for 2 months. The stent was well maintained for 7 months till the enlarged tumor causes extrinsic compression because stent revision was performed. About 1 year after the first stent insertion, the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit and intubated because of obstruction of the stent by organized secretions. Fortunately, these secretions were successfully removed and the patient was discharged without any sequelae. Thus, respiratory secretions can cause life-threatening complications after airway stent insertion. Clinicians should be aware of this, and careful examination and close follow-up of such patients are needed.

Authors: Kim Hyun Jeong , Han Jong Kyu , So Jae Wan , Jo Hyeon Deuk
Published: December 2016

Schwannomas are the most common type of benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors. They typically present as a solitary lesion, but multiple schwannomas rarely occur in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), or patients without the other hallmarks of NF2. The latter is termed schwannomatosis. They most commonly occur in the head and neck involving the brachial plexus and spinal nerves. Although rarely found in the extremities, when these masses occur peripherally, they most commonly affect the sciatic, ulnar, and tibial nerve. It is reported that 2.4% to 5% of all patients undergoing schwannoma excision present as schwannomatosis. One-third of patients with schwannomatosis show tumors limited to a single extremity or segment of the spine and it is referred to as segmental schwannomatosis. We report a case of recurred segmental schwannomatosis of the posterior tibial nerve without features of NF2 after schwannoma excision.
Air Embolization after Computed Tomography-Guided Percutaneous Transthoracic Needle Biopsy
Authors: Lee Woong Hee
Published: December 2016

Percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB) is an important procedure for diagnosis of pulmonary lesions. PTNB is minimally invasive procedure but sometimes complications can occur. The most common complications include pneumothorax, hemorrhage, and hemoptysis. Air embolism is very rare complication, but it can be a life-threatening if not managed appropriately. So knowledge of air embolism entity may minimize morbidity and mortality after PTNB.
Hemospermia due to Multiple Stones in the Enlarged Prostatic Utricle
Authors: Cho Kyu Hyoung
Published: December 2016

Cystic enlargement of prostatic utricle, a vestigial remnant of mullerian duct, is a rare condition in males. The prostatic utricle distends with urine during voiding and then passively drains. Poor emptying leads to urine retention and stasis. Stone formation may result from obstruction. Patients present clinically with chronic urinary tract infection, hematuria, urethral discharge, epididymitis, and voiding dysfunction. We present a case of multiple stones in the enlarged prostatic utricle associated with hemospermia.

Primary meningioma of jugular foramen is extremely rare, while paraganglioma or nerve sheath tumor are relatively common in jugular foramen. We reported a case of primary meningioma of jugular foramen. A 79-year-old female who had left tinnitus and hearing loss for three month came to the department of otorhinolaryngology. Temporal bone computed tomography scan showed sclerotic change and slightly irregular margins of left jugular foramen with relatively preservation of bony architecture. Temporal bone magnetic resonance image showed well defined homogeneous enhancing mass in left jugular foramen with extension to carotid space on gadolinium enhanced T1 weighted image. Prominent dural tail was also noted. On T2 weighted image, this mass showed intermediated signal intensity with no vascular signal voids. Meningioma was confirmed by pathology. In this article, we describe a case of primary en plaque meningioma of jugular foramen and review image findings of differential diagnosis.

A Staged Surgical Treatment for Aortoesophageal Fistula in Esophageal Cancer
Authors: Choi Chang Woo
Published: December 2016

An aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare and lethal disorder. However, aortic surgery is usually performed with extracorporeal circulation, and there is a high rate of surgical complications and mortality. This report describes a case of AEF caused by radiotherapy for esophageal cancer. A 59-year-old man was treated with preoperative chemoradiation, and developed a tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) 3 months later (3 cycles of cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil). He complained of hemoptysis and hematemesis. Based on computed tomography and diagnostic endoscopic findings, he was diagnosed with an AEF and TEF, and initially underwent endovascular coiling, which failed. Because of bleeding, emergent thoracic endovascular aortic repair was performed. Esophageal resection and reconstruction were performed 45 days later to control mediastinal inflammation. The patient was followed up as an outpatient. He has had no recurrence of cancer or any further complications.

Treatment-induced neuropathy in diabetes (also referred to as insulin neuritis) is considered a rare iatrogenic small fiber neuropathy caused by an abrupt improvement in glycemic control in the setting of chronic hyperglycemia. The prevalence and risk factors are unknown. It presents with neuropathic pain, symptoms of autonomic dysfunction, or a combination of both. We present a case that illustrates the range of presentations of the acute treatment-induced small fiber neuropathy in a patient with diabetes mellitus.
Ataxic Form of Central Pontine Myelinolysis Developed during Alcohol Withdrawal in a Chronic Alcoholic
Authors: Shin Dae-seop , Jeong Dushin , Yang Kwang Ik , Park Hyung Kook , Oh Hyung Geun
Published: December 2016

Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is well-recognized osmotic demyelination syndrome that is related to various conditions such as rapid correction of hyponatremia and chronic alcoholism. Acute ataxia as a sole clinical sign in CPM is rare. We report a case of a 59-year-old man with dysarthria, intention tremor, and a significant gait ataxia starting after alcohol withdrawal, with radiological evidence of CPM. CPM should be included in the differential diagnosis of alcoholic patients who develop a sudden ataxia. Chronic alcohol abuse is one of the most commonly encountered predisposing factors. Alcohol withdrawal represents an additional vulnerability factor, being responsible for electrolyte imbalances which are not always demonstrable but are certainly involved in the development of CPM.
THE DESIRE FOR RECOGNITION IN THE CONTEXT OF FRANCIS FUKUYAMA’S UNIVERSAL HISTORY
Authors: Danylova T. V.
Published: December 2016

Introduction. Francis Fukuyama in his famous book “The End of History and the Last Man” assumes that human history should be considered as the battle of ideologies that reaches its goal in the universalization of Western liberal democracy. Author’s ideas have gained many supporters. At the same time, they were subjected to severe criticism that reflected the important trends of political life and ideological preferences. Leaving aside the criticism based on geopolitical and civilizational confrontation and confusion which confronts Fukuyama’s theory, it should be stated that anthropological aspect of Fukuyama’s theory has vastly evaded philosophical comprehension. Purpose. This article attempts to test Fukuyama’s theory through the lens of philosophical anthropology and analyze human desire for recognition in the context of Fukuyama’s World History. Methodology. The analysis is focused on human desire for recognition as a significant dimension of human nature. The author has used hermeneutical methodology and anthropological integrative approach. Theoretical basis and results. Fukuyama is not satisfied by merely economic interpretation of history emphasizing that human is not simply an economic animal. Economic development fails to explain why people advocate the principles of liberal democracy. The author goes back to Hegel’s non-materialistic view of history based on the struggle for recognition. According to Fukuyama, this deeply rooted human desire for recognition is the great motor of history and cause of tyranny, conflicts, and wars. But at the same time, it also acts as a psychological foundation of many virtues – the spirit of citizenship, courage, and justice. Throughout history, this desire for recognition was not satisfied. Only modern liberal democracy provides universal recognition of all humans ensuring and protecting their rights. Originality. Fukuyama’s concept is important and interesting because it draws attention to the sphere of human values, which essentially influences the basis of personality structure. Unlike traditional liberalism, which focuses on materialism and justice, Fukuyama considers the struggle for recognition, the spiritual search for human dignity and equality (or superiority) the major component of social transformation. Human acts as a central point of political, cultural, economical space: he/she is the creator and the creation. Conclusions. Over time, the concept of Fukuyama has undergone significant changes. Modern civilization has been facing with an acute problem of growing inequality, serious financial crisis, political havoc and military conflicts, migrants and refugees problem. But so far the idea of liberal democracy has no real competitors.

N. V. Gogol's eschatology
Authors: Voropaev V.A.
Published: December 2016

Eschatological issues were Gogol’s problems throughout his life. Almost all of his work, both artistic and journalistic, were imbued with Apocalyptic mood. Being an Orthodox, Gogol built his life in accordance to the church calendar which includes the annual charter of holidays and worship when the cycle of readings of the Gospel is repeated for the teachings of spiritual growth of a man. Gogol’s Eschatology rooted in apocalyptic New Testament and patristic heritage. His notes on the margins in the Bible testify his steadfast and abiding interest to eschatological matters of Scripture. The words "Even so, come, Lord Jesus" (Revelation 22: 20), carved on the tombstone of Gogol, express, without doubt, the most important thing in his life and work: the desire for the acquisition of the Holy Spirit and soul preparation for the meeting with the Lord.

Introduction: The Freestyle swimming is currently known as the fastest within the competitive environment. Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the performance differences in Freestyle swimming of female children of 10 years old, relating total time of swim and stature, in a distance of 25 meters. Method: Participated in the study 10 female children of 10 years old. The task was to swim 25 meters, as fast as possible in Freestyle swimming and, beyond this measure, was used anthropometric measure related to height. Was conducted a Pearson Correlation test. Results: The results showed that the correlation is inversely proportional (negative), weak and non-significant, in other words, swim faster has no effect on the subjects’ height in the total duration of the swimming. Conclusion: The results indicate that there is no relationship between performance and height for girls of 10 years in the Freestyle swimming.

Published: December 2016

Introduction: Historically skeletal muscle strength has been the subject of numerous scientific investigations. Which, besides defining its role in health and disease process also identified neuromuscular mechanisms to modify it. Another interesting point is that in recent decades, authors have suggested that neural mobilization techniques can modify the neuromuscular physiology, however, little is known about its effects on muscle strength. Objective: To systematically investigate the effects of neural mobilization techniques on muscle strength. Methods: A systematic review performed in Google Scholar databases, Latindex, Lilacs, Pubmed and Scielo, through the descriptors: Muscle Strength, Muscle Contraction, Neural Mobilization and Neurodynamics Mobilization. Transverse and longitudinal controlled studies were included. Studies testing the neural mobilization of the muscle contraction force or humans or animals healthy or to peripheral nerve injury. The selected studies were published between the years 2010 and 2014 in national and international journals with Qualis between B1 and B2 according to an evaluation of the top professional development coordination. Results: The screening process resulted in the identification of 70 studies, of which only five not fit the eligibility criteria. Selected manuscripts indicated acute and chronic effects of neural mobilization on muscle strength in healthy volunteers with peripheral nerve damage by leprosy and rats with sciatic neuropathy. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate positive effects of neural mobilization in relation to the recruitment of muscle fibers, increasing strength and maintaining muscle strength in healthy volunteers and the peripheral nervous system injury.
Старообрядцы Николаевска: адаптация или ассимиляция в светских условиях США?
Authors: Товбин Кирилл Михайлович , Семичаевский Артемий Викторович , Соколов Валентин Валентинович
Published: December 2016

Старообрядцы Аляски являют собой пример приспособления традиционных духовных принципов к условиям пребывания в центре мировой глобализации, вестернизации, научно-технического прогресса и постиндустриализма. Старообрядческий опыт неагрессивного сопротивления миропорядку, затирающему любые этнические, культурные и конфессиональные разграничения, чрезвычайно важен при прочерчивании русского цивилизационного пути в современных условиях.

С целью изучения этого опыта авторами было проведено исследование образа жизни и менталитета русских старообрядцев штата Аляска (США). Проведенная в октябре2015 г. экспедиция вскрыла в жизни староверов Николаевска тесное переплетение остаточного мировоззренческого традиционализма, либерализующейся социальной сферы и радикального ментального модернизма. Все это заставило предположить беспомощность традиционного православия перед натиском секулярных реалий США. В статье проведено сравнение проблем николаевской старообрядческой диаспоры с аналогичными проблемами староверов-беспоповцев юга Аляски, с бо́льшим успехом сохраняющих свою самобытность, но также поддающихся секуляризующему воздействию американской повседневной культуры.

Выявлен культурный и духовный упадок аляскинского старообрядчества, а также зафиксирована мощь американского консюмеризма, который растворяет особенности иммигрантских диаспор, в то же время, сохраняя их внешнюю оригинальность и приумножая американскую субкультурную множественность.
Место Индии в евразийском мировоззрении Рерихов
Authors: Иванов Андрей Владимирович , Фотиева Ирина Валерьевна
Published: December 2016

Рост интереса к евразийскому учению подтверждается целым рядом исследований как в России, так и за рубежом. В их русле заслуживает внимания дискуссия о том, каким странам в дополнение к выделенным основателями учения можно придать статус евразийских. Эта тема представляется перспективной не только в плане ее теоретической значимости, но и в связи с необходимостью осмысления возрастающей геополитической роли евразийского пространства.

Авторы разбирают тезис о том, что в трудах семьи Рерихов, в особенности созданных на основе материалов Трансгималайской экспедиции, было начато обоснование статуса Индии как евразийской страны. Утверждается, что само наследие семьи Рерихов может рассматриваться как относительно самостоятельная вариация евразийской идеи, преодолевающая многие недостатки классического евразийства и обладающая серьезным эвристическим и прогностическим потенциалом в нынешней исторической ситуации.

Во взглядах Рерихов была преодолена ограниченность взгляда евразийцев, которыми не были по-настоящему учтены Индия и ее органическое единство с Северной (Внутренней) Евразией, т. е. евразийским этнокультурным пространством в узком смысле. Это единство обусловливается, по мнению Рерихов, многочисленными свидетельствами кросс-культурных связей между народами, населяющими данное пространство. В качестве фактических подтверждений отмечаются открытие распространенности от Тибета до Причерноморья скифско-сарматского звериного стиля; обнаружение в ходе экспедиции целого ряда отдельных артефактов, также говорящих в пользу данной гипотезы; обоснование масштабного культурно-духовного влияния буддизма в Центральной и Средней Азии в первой половине первого тысячелетия нашей эры; мировоззренческая близость культур Индии к общему евразийскому «духу», подтверждаемая сегодня различными исследованиями.

В заключении отмечается особое значение в многовекторном объединении Евразии Алтая как наиболее репрезентативного биосферного и этнокультурного региона и его связи с Гималайским горным регионом в Индии.
Регионализм и регионализация в Восточной Азии
Authors: Балакин Вячеслав Иванович
Published: December 2016

В последнее десятилетие для анализа политических, социально-экономических процессов в Восточной Азии исследователи стали использовать концепцию «нового регионализма». Восточноазиатский процесс «нового регионализма» отличается исключительной сложностью взаимоотношений между крупными державами как внутри самого региона, так и на глобальном уровне, а также имеет характер диалектического соотношения регионализма и регионализации.

Восточноазиатский регионализм отличается целенаправленной политикой местных заинтересованных государств, предусматривающей развитие в регионе процесса сотрудничества и придание ему системного характера без какого-либо внешнего влияния. Процесс стимулируется двумя крупнейшими державами — Китаем и Японией. Процесс регионализации рассматривается как своеобразный «наполнитель» конкретным содержанием региональных процессов, в частности, стимулирующего более тесную экономическую взаимозависимость участников, укрепление деловых связей, осознание общей цивилизационной идентичности.

Концепция региональной интеграции в Восточной Азии сегодня отличается большим вниманием к процессам межправительственного сотрудничества и институционального строительства. Опираясь на коммерческую и инвестиционную активность неправительственных участников регионального взаимодействия, восточноазиатские государства делают ставку на формирование благоприятных политических условий, в рамках которых минимизируется возможность политических конфликтов.

В кругах западных экспертов восточноазиатская модель регионализма рассматривается в качестве заметного этапа разрушения американской модели глобализации, отвергающей любые успешные проекты региональной интеграции. Определяющее воздействие на регионализацию Восточной Азии оказывает Китай, стремящийся добиться в Восточноазиатском регионе формирования целостной системы регионализма прежде всего в экономической и культурной сферах, но не затрагивая при этом военно-политических аспектов возможной будущей интеграции.

Анализ развивающегося процесса восточноазиатской интеграции показывает, что начинает проявляться новая тенденция развития региона, ориентированная на образование здесь единого экономического блока, в основе становления которого заключены антиамериканские настроения. Названный процесс в обозримой перспективе ведет к фундаментальным геополитическим изменениям, когда пространство Восточной Азии будет развиваться опережающими темпами. Восточноазиатская экономическая интеграция также затрагивает и национальные интересы России, которая должна будет добиваться уже на нынешней стадии своего достойного места в рождающемся сообществе. При этом российская экономика должна стать объективно интересной восточноазиатским государством.
