Maritime Security and The Law of the Sea
Authors: Prabawaningtyas Shiskha
Published: September 2019

Buku ini sangat direkomendasikan tidak saja bagi mahasiswa dan pemerhati, tetapi juga bagi pembuat kebijakan dalam isu-isu keamanan maritim dan hukum laut. Khusus bagi studi Hubungan Internasional, buku ini menawarkan pendekatan trans-disciplinary yang dimulai dengan pertanyaan kritis tentang evolusi hukum laut melalui (re-)konstruksi keamanan, permasalahan, dan tantangan kontemporer hingga arah perubahan kebijakan. Fokus pada analisa perangkat hukum, buku ini menggunakan pendekatan historis untuk memahami proses, diskursi tentang keberlanjutan (continuity) dan perubahan kepentingan negara di laut. Meski buku ini seakan melegitimasi dominasi perspektif negara dalam pendefinisian keamanan seperti yang dikatakan oleh Michael Reisman dalam kata pengantarnya, tetapi penulis, Natalie Klein, berhasil meyakinkan pentingnya pendekatan konstruktivisme dalam memformulasi pertanyaan riset dan menghadirkan analisa kritis.Ulasan buku ini akan dipaparkan dalam tiga bagian. Pertama, tentang pendekatan penulis dalam memetakan permasalahan maritim dan pengaturannya oleh negara. Kedua, mengulas struktur paparan di buku ini yang menggunakan pendekatan tematik. Bagian terakhir membahas kritik dan relevansi buku ini dengan kondisi di Indonesia, termasuk saran yang berkaitan dengan agenda lanjutan bagi diskursi dan riset keamanan maritim dan hukum laut.
Civil Society as Peacebuilder in the Internet Era
Authors: Prasetiawan Edwin , Maulina Ulfa Arofatin
Published: September 2019

Peace building in the modern era is different from those in the World War era. While the latter focused more on the state-to-state policy, the former involves the participation of the society. Part of the explanation is the fast growing development of information and technology, particularly the development of internet, which has helped providing more spaces for civil society to involve and to influence peace building process in any humanitarian activities. This space, as manifested in various social media such as Facebook and Twitter, has become a new way for the so-called netizen (internet citizen) to access information on the existing conflicts, advocate or campaign for the management and settlement of the conflicts, gather financial supports for the peace building process, and develop confidence building among people of the conflicting parties. However, at the same time this space may jeopardize the peace building process as people has no restriction in expressing their opinion online which could deteriorate the relations among people from both sides. This paper, therefore, aims to examine the role of this online activism to peace building process in various cases.
Mewaspadai Pembajakan Operasi Perdamaian: Telaah Kritis Intervensi Asing dalam Konflik Libya
Authors: Al Akbar Nuruddin
Published: September 2019

This study seeks to explore the hidden challenges to the mission/operation of peace (peace operation/mission). Ideally, as envisioned by the perspective of liberal peace, humanitarian mission should be carried out purely on the basis of values of humanism in order to address the humanitarian crisis phenomenon. However, this assumption has weaknesses because it is ignorant of potential piracy against peace operations in which the latter are just cover for the implementation of the vested interests of the actors involved in the mission. Piracy against peace operations is essentially a new form of "civilizing mission", the strategy used by colonialist countries in order to give legitimacy to their rule in the colonies. The essence of the "civilizing mission" strategy is to show the invaders as a helper of the colonized countries. This study would like to explore how piracy against these peace operations occur in the context of Libya (2011). A number of foreign countries such as the United States are involved in peace operations in Libya, with the primary mission to implement a no-fly zone and protection of human security. This study includes a discussion of the vested interests behind the peace mission, the discourse used by the actors mission to wrap their vested interests as purely based on humanism, and the impact of of this strategy to the conduct of peace operations in general.
Peace Unwanted? – The Frozen Conflict of Nagorno-Karabakh Revisited
Authors: Ferner Pia
Published: September 2019

More than twenty years after the ceasefire agreement has been signed between Armenia and Azerbaijan, little has been reached in resolving the dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh. This paper aims to provide insight into political dimensions of the conflict combining a geopolitical perspective with a perspective of local dynamics on the ground. Analyzing contributing factors to the lack of progress in the durable settlement of the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh provides an outlook on possibilities for a peaceful settlement of the dispute, which is of high relevance from a humanitarian perspective. The current positions of international actors contributing to the stalemate, as well as a lack of influential involvement of the civil society in the region provide little reason to believe significant change for a peaceful settlement of the conflict will be made in the near future. Increased transparency and improved communication are needed to provide opportunities for a peaceful change.This paper is primarily based on desk research, with additional insights gained from a research stay, and was issued as a contribution to Indonesian Humanitarian Action Forum. It is seen as an opportunity to shed light on an often forgotten conflict which poses strong humanitarian concerns due to a large number of IDPs (Internally Displaced Person) and continued landmine contamination hindering development.
Peran Penjaga Perdamaian Wanita dalam Proses Bina-Damai: Studi Kasus Operasi Perdamaian Monusco
Authors: Paramasatya Satwika
Published: September 2019

Peacekeeping Operations (PKO) is known as an instrument used by the United Nations to create peace in countries affected by conflict. Peacekeeping operations work as a mediator for the parties of the conflict and to ensure that violence no longer exists in the peace process. Once peace is achieved, peace operations are expected to remain involved in the peace building process. At first, men played a very dominant role in peacekeeping operations. Even so, women have been more involved in peace operations nowadays. It can be seen from the increasing number of female members of peacekeeping operations. This paper will discuss the role of women in contributing to the peace building process that occur in the MONUSCO operation in Congo. Congo was chosen because MONUSCO has the highest female members compared to other peacekeeping operations. The research was conducted by using explanatory method to analyze the role of women in peacekeeping operation using parameters such as the implementation of the mandate, the consistency of the implementation of Capstone Doctrine, DDR (Disarmament, demobilization, Reintegration), and CIMIC (Civil-Military Cooperation). The result indicated that women tend to have positive influences towards peace building process in peacekeeping operations judging from the fulfillment of the mandate and the implementation of programs that support the peacekeeping operation itself.
“Easternization” of Post-Western International Order: Appertaining Confucianism into Bandung Conference Legacy
Authors: Dinarto Dedi
Published: September 2019

This paper seeks to develop non-Western theory in IR, particularly appertaining Confucianism into the formation of new global order. Arguably, the role of China in international order has generated debates for IR theorists, which ended in two main conclusions, China as a new hegemonic power or responsible power. It is presumably caused by the diffusion of power in post-Cold War global order, in which China seeks for revival after the ‘century of humiliation’ caused by Western presence in early 20th century. Moreover, the model of China’s leadership under Xi Jinping in which global order is assumed to be related with the revival of Confucianism. Stressing on mutual cooperation, China seeks to shift the international paradigm disorder dominated by the western idea of materialism. Distinctively, this paper will illustrate the notion of Chinese role in the global order by taking its connection with the formation of Bandung Conference. As one of the global leading power, China could play greater role in international sphere, among other by uniting members of developing countries in the Bandung Conference to revivethe alternative way of global order management. Furthermore, the promotion of Chinese Dream as the manifestation of the essence of confucianism under Xi Jinping could become the starting point toward “easternization” of global order under Bandung Conference legacy.
The Long March from Bandung: The Ghost of the Bandung Spirit in Contemporary Relations between China and Africa
Authors: Leigh Fennel Vera
Published: September 2019

When Chinese President Hu Jintao (胡锦涛) gave the opening address at the Jakarta reception of the Asian-African Business Summit (亚非商业峰会) in 2005, he characterized contemporary relations between China and various African states thusly “[In] the world today, economic globalization is further developing…[this] presents Asian and African countries with rare opportunities as well as severe challenges…. [We] must…develop a new type of strategic partnership between Asia and Africa...to carry on the Bandung spirit and contribute to the continuous progress in Asia and Africa”. The importance of the Bandung Conference in the Cold War era is beyond debate; what has been debated is its lasting relevance. This paper examines the global economic rise of post-Cold War China and its “new strategic partnerships” (新型战略伙伴关系) with various African states and argues that the “partnerships”, which specifically promote pragmatic cooperation and mutual benefits between the two regions in trade, industry, investment, finance, embody the “Bandung Spirit” (万隆精神). It argues that what we are seeing now in China’s relationship with Africa is the culmination of a process begun by Premier Zhou Enlai (1898-1976) at the Bandung Conference of 1955.
Conflict Over Natural Resources In The Global South : Conceptual Approaches
Authors: Ayu Putu Eva Wishanti Dewa
Published: September 2019

Dengan sifatnya yang konfliktual karena memiliki nilai ekonomi dan penguasaan teritori yang kompleks, pendalaman kajian soal sumber daya alam semestinya mendapat porsi ilmiah yang lebih besar. Lebih lagi, riset yang dibukukan, utamanya yang terkait dengan persoalan pengelolaan sumber daya alam di Indonesia masih kurang komprehensif. Berbagai opini yang vokal, utamanya dari organisasi masyarakat sipil, masih bernada reaktif dan tidak didukung penelitian dan pengelolaan data yang tertsruktur sebagai lawan dari narasi arus utama. Pun demikian dengan kajian akademik yang membahas perihal pengelolaan sumber daya alam. Kajian-kajian tersebut masih terkendala dengan akses data, akses keuangan, dan lembaga pendanaan penelitian pun masih kurang menyediakan alokasi bagi penelitian berbasis sumber daya alam di Indonesia, utamanya yang terkait bidang sosial-politik. Lebih luas lagi, dunia yang dibagi menjadi bagian utara dan selatan oleh beberapa organisasi internasional, misalnya United Nations Development Programmme (UNDP), pun memiliki sisi historis yang berbeda dalam menyikapi konflik-konflik sumber daya alamnya. Tidak dapat dipungkiri, di negara-negara selatan yang mayoritas masih berkembang, sumber daya alam masih menjadi sektor pemasok pendapatan negara yang paling utama.Untuk lebih mendapatkan gambaran tentang pendekatan-pendekatan konseptual yang mungkin dapat membantu memahami konflik, buku setebal 204 halaman ini menyajikan hasil-hasil penelitian tentang konflik sumber daya alam di negara-negara selatan. Pendekatan konseptual ini menjadi penting sebagai dasar memulai perdebatan, utamanya demi menyelami kondisi kekhususan yang bervariasi di tiap negara. Buku ini disusun oleh para akademisi dan peneliti Belanda yang bernaung di bawah The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, Science for Global Development Division (NWO/WOTRO) serta Kementerian Luar Negeri Kerajaan Belanda. Penyusunan buku ini juga berada di bawah Conflict and Cooperation over Natural Resources in Developing Countries (CoCooN Programme) yang menjalankan tujuh proyek penelitian dalam bidang konflik dan kerja sama terkait sumber daya alam. Hal ini tidak mengherankan mengingat Belanda memiliki tradisi keilmuan yang mengakar di bidang pengelolaan sumber daya alam dan Belanda juga merupakan asal muasal berbagai perusahaan multinasional terkemuka di bidang ekstraktif dan manufaktur.

Changing Water Regime: Remunicipalization in Indonesia under the Global Hegemony of Privatization
Authors: Marwa Marwa
Published: September 2019

The research analyzes the emergence of water remunicipalization as counterhegmonic movement under the global hegemony of water privatization in Jakarta, Indonesia. In doing so, the author applies Gramsci’s theoretical framework of “Battle for Hegemony”, in understanding the dialectical relationship between the hegemony of privatization and remunicipalization as its opposing idea within the context of Indonesia’s water regime. Additionally, the author also uses the concept of “militant particularism” of Raymond Williams to explore the organization of remunicipalization as a counterhegemonic bloc. The opposing idea was materialized into  diverse and particular struggles against privatization who connect themselves into one counterhegemonic bloc with a universal feature. Local struggles in Jakarta connected themselves under an anti-privatization movement or well known as the Koalisi Masyarakat Melawan Swastanisasi Air Jakarta (KMMSAJ). Later, KMMSAJ linked itself with a global struggle against water privatization with a counterhegemonic idea of remunicipalization. Nevertheless, the universality of remunicipalization does not necessarily eliminate the particularities of each struggle, as the dissemination of the idea and practice is appropriated to Indonesia’s political-economic context. By analyzing the organization of remuncipalization, this article intends to move the tedious discussion of water privatization that has been centralized to moral or legal human rights claims to a more productive discussion that explores an alternative idea.
Reviewed Work: Globalization and the Race to the Bottom in Developing Countries: Who Really Gets Hurt? by Nita Rudra (2008)
Authors: Jatmika Muhammad Indrawan
Published: September 2019

Nita Rudra’s analysis in her book entitled Globalization and the Race to the Bottom in the Developing Countries challenges the argument of most globalization sceptics who argue that the bottom poor are the particular group who suffer the most from the globalization phenomenon.  Rudra’s main argument is that the domestic institutions will be the intermediate between global pressure and domestic social policy. As the aftermath, it is not the bottom poor of the citizens who hurts the most from the impact of the RTBs. It is precisely the middle class that hurts the most, because basically various kinds of policies such as government’s welfare distribution are controlled and determined by certain domestic institutions, whose access is controlled by the middle class and certain political groups, have been more oriented towards the interests of the middle class rather than than the interests of the bottom poor itself.
Modification of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rh-EGF) expression vector by site-directed mutagenesis for therapeutic protein production
Authors: Rodiansyah Achmad , Pratiwi Riyona Desvy , Zanjabila Sabighoh , Fuad Asrul Muhamad
Published: September 2019

Recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rh-EGF) has high value in therapies for h-EGF deficiency-related diseases. The expression of the h-EGF gene was designed by using the pET21b(+) vector and Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) as the expression host. In a previous study, the sequence of a 6xHis tag without any restriction sites was fused to the h-EGF gene, yet it was not possible to obtain a purified and single rh-EGF by this approach. In this study, we modified the rh-EGF expression vector using site-directed mutagenesis (SDM) to remove the sequence of the 6xHis tag. The vector modification was carried out by inserting a stop codon and the EcoRI restriction site, along with deleting the 6xHis tag sequence. The results of PCR showed non-specific bands, while 2-step cycles PCR produced one non-specific band, and 3-step cycles PCR produced two non-specific bands. After purification of the PCR products, the SDM-recombinant plasmids treated for template plasmid-free product were transformed into E. coli DH5a. Even though the transformation efficiency was low, the planned gene mutations including the deletion of the 6xHis tag and insertion of the stop codon and EcoRI restriction site in plasmid pET21b(+) were successfully carried out. When using this modified vector in expression studies, rh-EGF of a similar size to that of the rh-EGF standard and approximately 1 kDa smaller than the rh-EGF-6xHis of the previous study was obtained.

Authors: Hidayati Dewi Noor , Srihanto Eko Agus , Untari Tri , Wibowo Michael Haryadi , Akiyama Koichi , Asmara Widya
Published: September 2019

Considering the increasing incidence of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) in Indonesia, it was necessary to conduct a more in-depth study of bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) as the causative agent of IBR disease. Previous research reports indicate that the BHV-1 subtypes found in Indonesia are subtype 1.1. Currently, IBR field case detection in Indonesia still uses the serological method (ELISA), which has the potential to give false positive results and cannot explain the virus subtype. Other detection methods, such as viral isolation, take longer and require adequate resources. This study aimed to determine the BHV-1 subtypes of Indonesian isolates using molecular techniques. Nested PCR using two pairs of primers was successfully used to amplify the glycoprotein D (gD) gene. The gD gene fragment was cloned into the pGEM-T plasmid. Analysis of the gD gene sequence was subsequently carried out to determine the BHV-1 character of the Indonesian isolates. The results indicated that the isolates were different from the previous isolates, and had similarities (100%) with subtype 1.2 strain SP1777 and SM023.

Authors: Beshenkov Sergey A. , Shutikova Margarita I. , Ryzhova Natalia I.
Published: September 2019

Problem and goal. The article considers the possible ways of development of the general course of informatics: with technological or socio-cultural dominant. The aim of the study is to identify the main factors (significant circumstances) that make it possible to develop the content of the training of this course in a socio-cultural way. This, in turn, allows us to adequately formulate information threats to the human person, characteristic of the digital society and develop a strategy to protect against these threats. Methodology. The study is based on the analysis of the main challenges of the digital society and the internal logic of the development of general education course of informatics: from computer literacy to the subject of the general education cycle, and from it - to metasubject. Results. The study highlights the main factors that allow to develop the content of the general education course of informatics in the socio-cultural key, which allows to formulate the main strategic directions of protection of the human person from the information threats of the digital society. These factors can be described as consistency, socialization, technologization. These factors will lead to the actual development of the general course of informatics, if within the informatics will be prerequisites for their implementation. The development of the subject area of informatics creates such prerequisites, since the most important concept of the modern course of informatics is the concept of information, symbolic model with a significant social context. At the same time, symbolic modeling is one of the main types of universal educational activities. Conclusion. It is shown that in order to ensure the information security of the individual, it is necessary, first of all, to develop a system of representations and information-cognitive tools that allow the student to adequately interact with the surrounding world. The development of this tool can take over computer science.

In addition, with such a wealth of knowledge, graduates are able to be worthy members of the modern information society with a humanitarian culture. Conclusion. In the process of teaching applied mathematics, using innovative pedagogical technologies, it is advisable for students not only to give fundamental scientific knowledge, but also to instill the foundations of humanitarian culture.
From Sloboda province to Kharkov governorate: the reform of administrative-territorial structure of Sloboda Ukraine in 1780
Authors: Khitrov Dmitry A.
Published: September 2019

The present article investigates the implementation of the 1775 provincial reform on the territory of the Kharkiv namestnichestvo (viceroyalty). The provincial reform entailed a restructuring of the entire system of local government. These issues are of particular interest in contact zones, territories with heterogeneous populations, where social structures and administrative units of diff erent historical origins coexisted. One of these is the territory of Sloboda Ukraine, where until the opening of the Kharkiv namestnichestvo in 1780, the uezd division, characteristic of territories occupied by Russian colonization, was combined with the Ukrainian regimental structure that dated back to the second half of the 17th century. On the basis of maps and lists of settlements dating from the 1770s-1780s, the author reconstructed the maps of the administrative division of the territory of Kharkiv namestnichestvo before and after the reform. Before the reform the lands were organized in four regiments ( polks ) and seven districts ( uezds ), all with clearly defi ned boundaries. At the opening of the namestnichestvo , 15 uezds were created; the boundaries changed greatly, but each of the uezd centers preserved a signifi cant part of the land that had been associated with it earlier. The article demonstrates that after the reform, 13 of the 15 uezd towns were former regimental towns and villages. This seems to refl ect the gradual increase in infl uence of the Sloboda Cossack elite, which by this time was seeking recognition of its noble status and becoming the dominant social force in the region.
Crimea in the Era of Napoleon: the ‘French trace’ in regional politics
Authors: Konkin Denis V.
Published: September 2019

When the Crimea acquired the status of Russian territory in 1783, it became an imperial ‘borderland’ a long way from Saint Petersburg. However, in the geopolitical aspirations of European powers, and, also, from the viewpoint of the Russian Empire, the Crimea was not a remote periphery. The Russian government consistently sought to attract colonists from abroad to the thinly-populated Black Sea region. Several attempts to do so ended in failure; one of these was the organization of farming colonies at the Sea of Azov for French royalist emigrants and military men from Condé’s army. In the era of Napoleon, France paid particular attention to the peninsula; in the complicated foreign policy conditions, France did not miss any opportunity to reconnoitre the internal situation of this potentially unstable province of Russia, with the goal to infl uence the position of the Ottomans towards this territory which at that time was largely populated by Muslims. The author emphasizes that an important aspect of Napoleon’s foreign policy was supporting anti-Russian sentiment in the Ottoman Empire. One of the obvious means to achieve this goal was focusing on the Crimea issue and promising assistance for returning the peninsula into the Ottoman sphere of infl uence. The Russian authorities did not neglect these attempts and countered them skilfully. The author argues that the success of Russia’s policy in the Crimea was mainly related to certain Frenchmen in Russian service. During the Russian-Ottoman confl ict of 1806-1812, the military and administrative measures conducted by Armand de Richelieu, the Governor of New Russia, and Jean de Traversay, the commander of the Black Sea Navy, became an important factor for providing a stable situation within the peninsula.
The Persian community in Vladikavkaz: preserving ethnic identity in an alien cultural environment
Authors: Kanukova Zalina V. , Tuaeva Berta V.
Published: September 2019

On the basis of archival sources and materials taken from periodical press, the authors investigate the history of the Persian diaspora in Ossetia. The article discusses the causes of Persian migration to Ossetia, which began in the second half of the 19th century; their settlement and adaptation processes; and mechanisms of intra-ethnic consolidation. The authors identify the means Persians used to adapt to the economy of the host society, in particular by fi nding economic niches in industry, craft, trade, and domestic services, and analyze their integration into new economic forms of urban lifestyle. Ethnic entrepreneurship emerges as the foundation of Persian community life. The article investigates the diaspora’s infrastructure, including the Persian Consulate, a Shiite mosque, the Persian school Navruz , the charitable society Himmat , and several other institutions. In general, for most minority communities the place of worship becomes the focus point of intraethnic consolidation and preservation of national identity, especially when the community is not simply ethnic but rather ethno-confessional. In the Persian community, however, the main regulatory and communicative functions were performed by the Consulate. The authors argue that the prominence of the Consulate resulted from the uncertain status of the mosque, from the fact that Shiite worshippers came from various nationalities, and from the confl icts among them. The authors examine the degree of preservation of traditional Persian culture in festive and ceremonial life, community behavior, and relations with the motherland. They identify how the Persian community integrated into the socio-cultural environment of poly-ethnic Vladikavkaz through trade relations, everyday contacts, and other means.
Transboundary nomadism in the USSR in the 1920s
Authors: Sinitsyn Fedor L.
Published: September 2019

Abstarct: In the context of the history of migration processes among nomadic peoples, the present article studies transboundary nomadism between the USSR and neighboring countries in the 1920s as well as the Soviet policy on these processes. The author discusses the border areas of the east and south of the USSR and such neighboring states as China, Mongolia, Tuva, Afghanistan, and Persia. The article is written on a broad source base, which includes both published and unpublished documents identifi ed by the author in the Russian State Military Archives (RGVA), the Russian State Archives of Socio-Political History (RGASPI) and the Aginsky Branch of the State Archives of the Trans-Baikal Territory (AFGAZK). The article demonstrates the important strategic role of border nomadic regions, in particular, of Buryatia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan. After the 1917 revolutionary events in Russia, migrations from these territories were motivated not only by economic but also by political reasons, with the nomads escaping from state control and subsequently participating in anti-Soviet uprisings and in the Basmachi movement. The author argues that the Soviet leadership was eager to uphold the status quo on its borderlands. By the 1930s the USSR established full control over migration processes, minimizing or completely eliminating the transboundary nomadism. This was framed as a question of securing the state´s borders against a capitalist environment, but also of preventing the penetration of hostile ideology from abroad.

The geography of Nicholas Roerich’s travels in Ceylon (on the basis of the artist’s writings and paintings)
Authors: Senasinghe Ranjana Devamitra
Published: September 2019

This article discusses Nicholas Roerich´s travel to Ceylon as part of his Central Asian expedition of 1923 -1928, which is a less-known episode in the biography of the artist and thinker. Roerich’s stays in India, Bhutan, Manchuria, China and other countries are already well known, but his visit to Ceylon has not yet been subject to research. One important question pertains to chronology: while Roerich´s diaries establish that he was on the island in 1923, his letters from December 1923 indicate that at the time of writing he was in India. Solving this issue is one purpose of this article. On Roerich’s map of his Central Asian Expedition, Ceylon is marked as a point of stay, yet without specifying the particular places of his visit. This article reconstructs the route of Nicholas Roerich’s trip to Ceylon during which he established contacts and spiritual ties with representatives of religious and secular circles of this island. The present study is based on Roerich´s documents of personal origin, as well as on visual materials from the cycle ‘Ashram’ that the artist created during his visit to Ceylon.
The role of the Russian government in the development of Caspian Sea trade with Persia in the second half of the 19th - early 20th century
Authors: Kornoukhova Gadilya G.
Published: September 2019

This article based on a large body of published and unpublished documents from the Foreign Policy Archive of the Russian Empire (AVPRI). The author analyzes the policy of the tsarist government regarding the development of merchant shipping on the Caspian Sea, and determines its eff ectiveness in the framework of Russian-Persian economic ties in the second half of the 19th and the early 20th centuries. Special attention is paid to the public discourse on the need for borrowing the Western European model for the development of maritime navigation, as well as to the conditions of navigation in the Caspian area in accordance with the natural characteristics and the available port facilities. Also examined are the volume of trade between Russia and Persia, the activities of Russian shipping enterprises, their interaction among themselves, and the state’s intervention in these aff airs. The author concludes that the government´s policy yielded ambiguous results. After pushing for the introduction of steamboats and Liner Service on the Caspian Sea, the tsarist government decided to support only one transport company, the ‘Kavkaz i Merkuriy’, which then swallowed its competitors. Ultimately, the authorities’ investment strategy led to the monopoly and domination of one company, which played a negative role in the development of merchant shipping on the Caspian Sea.
The training of production personnel at industrial enterprises of Ulyanovsk region during the Great Patriotic War
Authors: Khapaev Evgeniy A. , Chukanov Ivan A.
Published: September 2019

On the basis of previously unstudied archival documents this article reveals the multifaceted and multidimensional activities which the country’s top leadership as well as the leaders of the Middle Volga (Samara) region and Ulyanovsk district (from 1943 renamed Ulyanovsk region) unfolded for mobilizing work force for the military industry of Ulyanovsk region. In the shortest possible time, just within one year, under conditions of shortage in housing, production areas, raw materials, and skilled personnel, they managed not only to redirect practically all industrial enterprises in the city of Ulyanovsk and the Ulyanovsk district towards the war eff ort, but also to integrate several dozens of evacuated enterprises, to provide them with production areas, and to accommodate thousands of employees as well as their family members. By the summer of 1942, all these enterprises had started to work at full capacity; they considerably increased deliveries of all things needed at the front, thus making a considerable contribution to ensuring a radical change in the course of the war in 1943. The authors conclude that this success resulted from the eff ective work of central and local authorities, as well as of the directorates of the defense enterprises, in the fi eld of training of highly skilled specialists. New vocational schools were set up, in addition to technical schools and production classes at general schools. Moreover, successful measures were taken to motivate the youth for highly productive work. The authors emphasize that the heads of the enterprises organized eff ective training directly at the workplaces. The work with production staff was accompanied by well-organized ideological and educational work at the enterprises which in due time allowed to prevent provocations aimed at disrupting the military production in this critical period of the war. In particular, the article points to the successful management of the textile industry and cloth factories for increasing labor productivity and establishing labor discipline in teams.

While peripheral neuropathy is the most common complication of long-term diabetes, cognitive deficits associated with encephalopathy and myelopathy also occur. Diabetes is a risk factor for Alzheimer disease (AD) and increases the risk of progression from mild cognitive impairment to AD. The only current recommendation for preventing or slowing the progression of peripheral neuropathy is to maintain close glycemic control, while there is no recommendation for central nervous system disorders. NSI-189 is a new chemical entity that when orally administered promotes neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus, increases hippocampal volume, enhances synaptic plasticity, and reduces cognitive dysfunction. To establish the potential for impact on peripheral neuropathy, we first showed that NSI-189 enhances neurite outgrowth and mitochondrial functions in cultured adult rat primary sensory neurons. Oral delivery of NSI-189 to murine models of type 1 (female) and type 2 (male) diabetes prevented multiple functional and structural indices of small and large fiber peripheral neuropathy, increased hippocampal neurogenesis, synaptic markers and volume, and protected long-term memory. NSI-189 also halted progression of established peripheral and central neuropathy. NSI-189, which is currently in clinical trials for treatment of major depressive disorder, offers the opportunity for the development of a single therapeutic agent against multiple indices of central and peripheral neuropathy.

Obesity-related insulin resistance (IR) may develop in multiple organs, representing various etiologies for cardiometabolic diseases. We identified abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (ScAT) transcriptome profiles in liver or muscle IR by means of RNA sequencing in overweight or obese participants of the Diet, Obesity, and Genes (DiOGenes) (NCT00390637, ClinicalTrials.gov) cohort (n = 368). Tissue-specific IR phenotypes were derived from a 5-point oral glucose tolerance test. Hepatic and muscle IR were characterized by distinct abdominal ScAT transcriptome profiles. Genes related to extracellular remodeling were upregulated in individuals with primarily hepatic IR, while genes related to inflammation were upregulated in individuals with primarily muscle IR. In line with this, in two independent cohorts, the Cohort on Diabetes and Atherosclerosis Maastricht (CODAM) (n = 325) and the Maastricht Study (n = 685), an increased systemic low-grade inflammation profile was specifically related to muscle IR but not to liver IR. We propose that increased ScAT inflammatory gene expression may translate into an increased systemic inflammatory profile, linking ScAT inflammation to the muscle IR phenotype. These distinct IR phenotypes may provide leads for more personalized prevention of cardiometabolic diseases.
Grado de sellado marginal de restauraciones de resina compuesta realizadas con un material mono incremental y uno convencional
Authors: Flores-Mejía Edison Andrés , Balseca-Ibarra Eliana Guadalupe
Published: September 2019

En el pasado el máximo grosor de la obturación con resina era 2mm lo que implica tiempo y riesgo de errores. Las resinas de técnica monoincremental deben cumplir con una contracción de polimerización reducida, profundidad de foto polimerización alta, reducir la microfiltración marginal y ser fácilmente adaptables a la cavidad. La técnica monoincremental simplifica el proceso clínico, ahorra tiempo en casos de preparaciones extensas. La presente es una investigación cuantitativa experimental in vitro.
Resiliencia y educación, dualidad conceptual inseparable

Published: September 2019

La Resiliencia y la Educación, se convierten en referentes obligados para los estudios realizados de ambos conceptos a nivel mundial. Esta simbiosis surge en un momento, cuando el ser humano se ve afectado física, mental y espiritualmente por una serie de elementos que impactan al planeta, consecuencia de acciones previas que el mismo hombre viene realizando, de allí la importancia de este concepto en el ámbito educativo. Diversos estudios han destacado el papel de la escuela, el docente y las experiencias escolares en la construcción de la resiliencia. Un cuerpo creciente de investigaciones apunta a la resiliencia, un componente clave del aprendizaje emocional social, como una faceta crítica de la educación. El presente ensayo tiene como propósito fundamental develar la importancia de la resiliencia para la construcción de una pedagogía preventiva, garantizando a los estudiantes una adaptación positiva en el medio escolar y en consecuencia una garantía de éxito en las diferentes dimensiones del ser. Entre las reflexiones finales, se puede afirmar que, la resiliencia es un medio de educación y la educación es un medio para la resiliencia de allí que ambos conceptos se entreteje como una telaraña que atrapa a todos los integrantes de la institución educativa convirtiéndola en el lugar apropiado para que estudiantes y maestros vivan una experiencia sin precedentes que conlleve a la autorrealización personal y al éxito en la escuela y en la vida.
Una mirada sobre la acreditación en América Latina
Authors: García-Aráuz Jahaira Alexandra
Published: September 2019

Teniendo en cuenta que todo proceso de formación le corresponde la búsqueda de niveles superiores de calidad que propicien su eficiencia, eficacia, pertinencia e idoneidad entre otros aspectos, así como la necesidad de que los actores de estos tengan plena conciencia de las fortalezas y debilidades que les impidan o favorezcan el alcance de parámetros de calidad cada vez más elevados aceptados por la comunidad académica, profesional y empresarial. A tales efectos se realizó una revisión bibliográfica exhaustiva donde se analizan algunos aspectos con respecto a la acreditación universitaria en América Latina.
Una aproximación de los factores de riesgo psicológico y social en el adolescente
Authors: Balseca-Basantes Jeanneth E.
Published: September 2019

La salud integral de los adolescentes depende en particular de su propio comportamiento, que, a su vez, sufre la poderosa influencia del ambiente en que viven. Podemos mencionar entre ellos el consumo de tabaco, alcohol, y otras drogas, con variadas consecuencias a largo plazo: mayores riesgos de desarrollar cáncer y enfermedades cardiovasculares, respiratorias y hepáticas. A estas consecuencias cabe añadir los problemas inmediatos que surgen en relación al consumo de dichas sustancias: aumento del riesgo de lesión accidental, conductas sexuales de riesgo, etc. Urge, por lo tanto, prestar una mayor atención por parte de la comunidad sanitaria a los adolescentes.
Epistemología, docencia e investigación jurídica
Authors: Castillo-Cabeza Segundo Nelson
Published: September 2019

El método epistemológico nos permite las herramientas de la Teoría del Conocimiento para lograr interpretar los conocimientos jurídicos. A tales efectos se realizó una revisión bibliográfica exhaustiva para exponer algunos aspectos relacionados con la epistemología, epistemología jurídica, el aprendizaje del derecho jurídico, la investigación jurídica de postgrado en Latinoamérica. Para dar por concluido, es importante destacar que en el contexto actual la filosofía y la teoría del Derecho adquieren un rol protagónico en las discusiones acerca del modo en que se debe entender, aprender y practicar el Derecho y los derechos.
Las prácticas comunicativas y la educación en valores. Reflexiones a partir de la Filosofía reflexiva de Paul Ricoeur
Authors: Sáenz-Gavilanes Jessica Vicenta
Published: September 2019

La presente ponencia aborda la relación entre las prácticas comunicativas que se establecen en la escuela y la educación en valores de los jóvenes. Parte de la conceptualización de los valores desde la perspectiva filosófica, considerando los aportes de Paul Ricoeur sobre la ética. Plantea la relación entre comunicación y educación abordando los distintos enfoques existentes desde la constitución de este campo de estudio, desde una perspectiva histórica. Finalmente refiere las implicaciones que tiene para la enseñanza de los valores, la concepción sobre prácticas comunicativas, apoyándose en las teorías del aprendizaje situado y el Enfoque Histórico-Cultural.
