Ukrainian-US Relations in the Context of U.S. Foreign Policy Priorities
Authors: Tolstov S.
Published: June 2021

After Donald Trump was elected as the American president, significant changes were observed in the Ukrainian-American relations. These especially included the lifting of embargo on lethal arms supply and the resumption of meetings of the Ukraine-US Strategic Partnership Commission. Contrary to D. Trump’s desire to conclude a U.S. - Russia “Big Deal”, Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. Congress held a bipartisan position on Ukraine supporting the expansion of sanctions on various occasions – from the on-going conflict in Donbas and Russian attempts to influence the 2016 election campaign to imposing obstacles for the supply of Russian weapons to the third countries. Assessments of American academic and political experts do not give reason to believe that the U.S. political circles are ready to move from remote support of Ukraine in the mood of long-term deterrence doctrine to intensive forms of military and military-political participation. Acknowledging Russia’s rejection of the post-Cold War Euro-Atlantic security order, American observers are inclined to suppose that the conflict in Donbas is unlikely to be finally settled. In case of its freezing, this conflict will pose potential or acute threats to the economy and security of Ukraine. Within such a trend Ukraine will play the role of one of the major subjects of long-term tensions and discord in economic and military relations between Russia and the West.

DOA YANG TIDAK DIJAWAB MENURUT INJIL MARKUS
Authors: Christopher Dany
Published: June 2021

Doa merupakan bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dari kehidupan orang Kristen. Namun permasalahan muncul ketika ada doa-doa yang tidak dijawab. Ini menjadi masalah karena adanya ekspektasi bahwa suatu doa permohonan seharusnya dijawab dan dikabulkan oleh Tuhan. Artikel ini mencoba menjawab perihal bagaimana menanggapi doa-doa yang tidak dijawab. Secara spesifik, fokus analisa dari artikel ini adalah pada tiga narasi mengenai doa di Injil Markus: (1) permintaan seorang ayah (Mrk. 9:14-29); (2) permintaan Yakobus dan Yohanes (Mrk. 10:35-45); dan (3) doa Yesus di Getsemani (Mrk. 14:32-42). Teks-teks naratif dipilih karena bisa memperlihatkan dinamika dari suatu doa permohonan. Penulis akan menunjukkan bahwa salah satu fungsi utama dari narasi mengenai doa yang tidak dijawab adalah untuk membentuk kerohanian pembaca Markus (formasi spiritual).
KONSEP MISKIN DALAM LUKAS-KISAH PARA RASUL
Authors: Barus Armand
Published: June 2021

Abstrak: Kemiskinan dalam Injil Lukas-Kisah Para Rasul seharusnya tidak dipahami sebagai kemiskinan rohani atau kemiskinan sosial atau kemiskinan moral. Kemiskinan dalam Injil Lukas-Kisah Para Rasul merujuk kepada kemiskinan ekonomi. Kesimpulan demikian diperoleh melalui perbandingan narasi unik dalam Lukas, narasi dalam Lukas dan Matius, dan narasi dalam Lukas, Matius, dan Markus. Lukas kemudian mendemonstrasikan dalam kitab Kisah Para Rasul bagaimana jemaat Kristen perdana memberi perhatian serius terhadap orang miskin materi. Kesatuan Injil Lukas-Kisah Para Rasul masih tetap dipertahankan meski konsep miskin yang dominan dalam Injil Lukas absen di dalam Kisah Para Rasul.

Kata Kunci: Injil Lukas, Kisah Para Rasul, tradisi L, tradisi Q, kesatuan Lukas-Kisah Para Rasul, miskin.

 

Abstract: Poverty in Luke-Acts should not be understood as spiritual or social or moral poverty. Poor people in Luke-Acts refer to the economically poor. This conclusion is reached through comparing narration unique to Luke, narrations in Luke and Matthew, and narrations in Luke, Matthew, and Mark. Luke then demonstrates in Acts how early Christian church seriously gave attention to the economically poor people. Unity Luke-Acts can be sustained although the concept of poverty which is dominant in Luke is absent in Acts.

Keyword: Luke, Acts, L tradition, Q tradition, Unity Luke-Acts, poor.

PUBLIC MANAGERS' PERCEPTION OF THE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE PERFORMANCE PRISM
Authors: Monteiro Otávio Henrique Cintra
Published: June 2021

Performance measurement system is an instrument that supports better organizational performance. This theme has evolved over time, while systems have become multidimensional and intent on projecting the future. In addition, in an open system logic, the understanding of the stakeholders becomes relevant to a performance measurement system. For this reason, the system model called Prism de Performance draws attention because it is based on stakeholders. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the perception of public managers who work in the implementation of strategic planning and performance on performance measurement systems, with an emphasis on the Performance Prism. Through a questionnaire data were obtained and analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis statistical model. As a result, it was found that the focus on stakeholders is considered important for a dimension of a performance measurement system and that the Performance Prism is not known by professionals who work with the implementation of strategic planning and monitoring of results, even though the model is applicable to non-profit entities.

The Differences of Urban Innovation Strategies Implementations in Bandung City, West Java and Malang City, East Java
Authors: Anggraini Yusniah
Published: June 2021

Quality city infrastructure is currently the main requirement. Because the city is a place to live, currently connected globally but not connected locally, so that in order to become a livable city, the city must be able to provide a decent living for its citizens while maintaining environmental quality. One way to improve the quality of the city is to carry out urban innovations, one of which can be by focusing on parks and paying attention to the environment. The two cities studied in this study are Bandung City, West Java, and Malang City, East Java, by looking at government innovation on environmental sustainability in it. The goal is to identify differences in innovation in each city studied. The research was conducted using descriptive qualitative methods. The results show that if the city of Bandung provides more innovation in the form of building thematic parks to increase the capacity of green open space in the city of Bandung, the city of Malang provides more innovation in the form of technology to manage green open space and other urban spaces so that later it can be monitored by the entire city community and if you want to build buildings, can determine a location that does not interfere with managed spaces such as parks. This is because Malang City has arguably enough RTH to support people's lives and the environment, so that the innovations carried out can be one step ahead of Bandung City. The hope for the future is that every city will always maintain the innovations that have been implemented and carry out real steps and also improve technology, resources, and so on.

Published: June 2021

Quando o flúor foi introduzido na composição dos dentifrícios, ele se tornou um método importante na prevenção da cárie dentária. A fluorose é um problema que ocorre na época de formação dos dentes com a ingestão excessiva de flúor. Por conta disso, alguns dentistas têm recomendado dentifrícios fluoretados em baixas concentrações, ou até mesmo sem flúor em locais onde há água fluoretada no abastecimento público. Porém com base em estudos atuais, dentifrícios com baixas concentrações de flúor não tem efetividade ao combate a cárie dentária. A recomendação atual diz que os dentifrícios para crianças devem ter de 1000 a 1100 ppm de flúor, e a quantidade deve ser controlada dependendo da idade da criança. A literatura exalta ainda, que a escovação em crianças deve ser supervisionada por pais ou responsáveis para que não haja riscos da ingestão de flúor, e verificar se a criança está fazendo a escovação corretamente. Sabe se que os pais reconhecem os benefícios do flúor, porém o conhecimento sobre a relação de fluorose e flúor é pouco difundido. O presente estudo, tem como objetivo verificar o conhecimento dos responsáveis sobre a relação de fluorose e utilização de dentifrício fluoretado.

Ante una situación tan extraña como inesperada, no podemos, ni debemos, dejar de hacernos preguntas sobre las consecuencias de esta crisis sanitaria, económica y social. Conscientes de que el arte y la creación nos han acompañado en los momentos difíciles, y seguirán a nuestro lado para ayudarnos a entender, resolver y compartir. Para, pese a cualquier distancia, sentirnos unidos a través de las imágenes. Como creadores y arteterapeutas la obra es también nuestra respuesta ante las emociones e inquietudes, que nos invaden. Cómo nos afectó el confinamiento y la vuelta a una normalidad tan anormal, cómo vivimos la experiencia de aislamiento, la distancia, la éenfermedad, la muerte, los miedos. Qué echamos de menos, la conciencia de qué queremos hacer, a dónde nos gustaría regresar, o trascender. Así como otras preguntas que nos surgen cuando pensamos en el sentido del Arte y el Arteterapia en tiempos de la Covid-19. Las imágenes son como un caleidoscopio múltiple de lo vivido y aún por vivir de esta catástrofe. Ya nada será igual y en mayor o menor medida nos dejará huella.
A case study by using Khan Academy, an open-source environment
Authors: Nguyen Thanh Chi , Le Cuong Tuan
Published: June 2021

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of the flipped-classroom approach in teaching mathematics using Khan Academy, an open-source learning platform, and to examine students’ views about their experiences. The experiment was evaluated in both qualitative and quantitative ways. After introducing Khan Academy environment to a group of students at a private school in Hanoi, we organized several high school mathematics teaching units. The students were then observed as they learned the material in the flipped-classroom format. The different types of assessment such as formative and summative assessment designed and integrated within the environment were analyzed in light of competency-based assessment approach. The research found that the flipped-classroom approach using Khan Academy boosted student achievement in mathematics while the diverse tests such as QCM, open-end question on the platform played a vital role in the learning process. We also found that teachers need to design additional teaching resources to better integrate Khan Academy environment into the Vietnamese classroom.

The Relevance of Community Involvement in Military Counter-Insurgency Operations in North Eastern Nigeria
Authors: Salihu Mustapha
Published: June 2021

The paper highlights the increasing in-practicability of post-conflict peace-building in the context of emerging unconventional intra-state wars. It however ascertains the viability of a community-referent peace-building intervention as part of wider efforts to counter the influence of Boko Haram, while tending to humanitarian needs of affected communities. To do so, it employs textual analysis of qualitative secondary data, and builds on the submission of civil-military-relations theory as its framework for analysis. The result of the textual analysis of prior literature suggests counter insurgency operations in the northeast remain highly militarized, with inconsequential attention being paid to the humanitarian needs of affected communities. Despite its relevance, the use of military force has proven to be counterproductive given its state-referent orientation. Further to which sustained use of force has heightens the effect of the conflict on millions of civilians who have fled their communities in fear of Boko Haram and military highhandedness. To address the deficiencies of the pre-existing framework for countering insurgency, the paper proposes the implementation of a community centric, bottom-up approach which emphasizes the security, reconstruction and reintegration needs of civilians and defecting combatants. By prioritizing the inclusive needs of affected communities, the state is likely to win over the population, drawing on the combined expertise and resources of military and civilian actors. The implementation of such an approach will require in amongst others a reorientation of the military roles, a renewed relation of mutual assistance between civilian and military actors in the northeast.

Published: June 2021

Genetically diverse female lines of sunflower were crossed with male testers to get heterotic hybrids. Studies were carried-out during 2008-2010 at Experiment filed of Agriculture Research Institute, Tandojam, Sindh, Pakistan. Six female lines like T-4-0319, PAC-0505, HO-I, Hysun-33, Peshawar-93 and CMS-03 and three testers i.e., PAC-0306, PAC-64-A and SF-187 were crossed in a line ´ tester mating design, thus 18 F1 and F2 hybrids were developed for evaluation of heterosis and inbreeding depression for days to initial flowering, days to maturity, leaves/plant, plant height (cm), head diameter (cm), 1000-achene weight (g), seed yield kg/ha and oil yield kg/ha. The experiment was conducted in a randomised complete block design with four replications. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among parents, F1s and F2 hybrids for all the traits studied. The existence of significant genetic variability among the plant traits is particularly useful because variations in these traits would allow further improvement in sunflowerseed yield and oil traits. The F1 hybrids HO-I ´ PAC-0306 and HO-I PA ´ C-64-A exhibited desirable negative mid and better parent heterosis for days to initial flowering, days to maturity and plant height. These hybrids also manifested desirable positive heterotic effects for leaves/plant, head diameter, 1000-achenes weight, seed yield and oil yield. Inbreeding depression for phenological, seed yield and oil traits  showed that desirable high inbreeding depression was observed in hybrids HO-I ´ P´AC-64-A, HO-I ´ PAC-0306 and HO-I ´ SF-187 for days to initial flowering, similarly T-4-0319 ´ PAC-0306, PAC-0505 ´ SF-187 and HO-I ´ PAC-64-A explicated maximum but rewarding inbreeding depression for days to maturity. The F2 hybrids Hysun-33 ´ SF-187 and Peshawer-93 ´ PAC-64-A may be the most desirable ones in the sense that they recorded comparatively moderate inbreeding depression with enough number of leaves to be productive if F2 hybrids are to be exploited for hybrid vigour. Low inbreeding depression for various traitsindicated that such hybrids some how favour the usefulness of F2 hybrids in sunflower.

The study was planned to assess the nitrogen status of apple orchards around Quetta valley, Pakistan, through soil and plant analysis. Two hundred and forty soil samples were collected from 40 different locations of 05 orchards at 0-15, 15-30, 30-45, 45-60, 60- 75 and 75-90 cm depths. The soil samples were analysed for total nitrogen by Kjeldhals method. At the same time forty apple trees were selected for leaves samples and analysed for the total nitrogen content. Total nitrogen content in soil showed a sizeable variation ranging from 0.009 to 0.148%. Whereby, plant analysis registered minimum nitrogen content 1.06% and the maximum nitrogen content were 3.14% in apple plant leaves which confirms a great deficiency of nitrogen in apple orchards of Quetta valley.

The wide use of petroleum products causes contamination of air, water, soil and plants. The present study was conducted to monitor the trace metal deposition in road side soil around the petrol filling stations along the busy roads of Karachi, Pakistan. Total 21 road side soil samples were collected from selected locations of busy roads. The soil samples were digested using acid digestion method and atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) was used for the elemental analysis. Results of the study showed that concentration of lead was highest in the soil samples ranging from 41.3 to 361 mg/kg, then copper from 23.0 to 101 mg/kg, manganese from 36.2 to 125.0 mg/kg and zinc from 27.5 to 213.0 mg/kg, respectively. The correlation-coefficient (r) was also calculated between the metals in soil samples. The correlation matrix showed that all the pollution is coming from the same source. The gravitational sedimentation and impact on vegetation of coarse fraction is responsible for the high lead contamination of vegetation and soils. Collected data showed that, almost all the pollution being generated by automobile exhaust in urban areas of Karachi. The soil acts as an important sink for pollutants released through different activities.

Published: June 2021

Quantitative and qualitative composition of the foliar phenolic compounds were investigated in 81 individual specimens of several white oak species (Quercus spp.). The trees were growing in twelve locations in Durango, Mexico. The phenol profiles were determined by HPLC-DAD and a Folin-Ciocateu procedure. The results revealed that: (i) the foliar phenol profiles of all species analysed were complex and formed by 6 to 30 compounds, (ii) the flavonols mostly quercetin glycoside, isorhamnetin glycoside, kaempferol glycoside and phenolic acids were the main identified compounds, (iii) there was a high intra and inter-specific variability in the foliar phenol profiles both at the quantitative and qualitative levels, and (iv) the foliar phenol profiles indicated a slight species-specific tendency for phenols to be accumulated, although this was not clearly distinguished. Significant differences (P < 0.05) in the content and composition of the foliar flavonoids between species were observed due to the large environmental and soil conditions variability between localities.
DSC Cure Kinetics of an Unsaturated Polyester Resin Using Empirical Kinetic Model
Authors: Abdullah Iram
Published: June 2021

In this paper, the kinetics of curing of unsaturated polyester resin initiated with benzoyl peroxide was studied. In case of unsaturated polyester (UP) resin, isothermal test alone could not predict correctly the curing time of UP resin. Therefore, isothermal kinetic analysis through isoconventional adjustment was used to correctly predict the curing time and temperature of UP resin. Isothermal kinetic analysis through isoconversional adjustment indicated that 97% of UP resin cures in 33 min at 120 °C. Curing of UP resin through microwaves was also studied and found that 67% of UP resin cures in 1 min at 120 °C. The crosslinking reaction of UP resin is so fast at 120 °C that it becomes impossible to predict correctly the curing time of UP resin using isothermal test and the burial of C=C bonds in microgels makes it impossible to be fully cured by microwaves at 120 °C. The rheological behaviour of unsaturated polyester resin was also studied to observe the change in viscosity with respect to time and temperature.

Authors: Li Yujiang , Cao Jinghua
Published: June 2021

In order to optimize the deployment of wireless sensor network nodes, and avoid network energy consumption increase due to node redundancy and uneven coverage, the multi-objective mathematical optimization problem of area coverage is transformed into a function problem. Aiming at network coverage rate, node dormancy rate and network coverage uniformity, the idea of genetic algorithm mutation is introduced based on the discrete binary particle swarm optimization and the global optimal speed is mutated to avoid the algorithm falling into the local optimal solution. In order to further improve the optimization ability of the algorithm, the adaptive learning factor and inertia weight are introduced to obtain the optimal deployment algorithm of wireless sensor network nodes. The experimental results show that the algorithm can reduce the number of active nodes efficiently, improve coverage uniformity, reduce network energy consumption and prolong network lifetime under the premise that the coverage rate is greater than 90%, and compared with an algorithm called coverage configuration protocol, an algorithm called finding the minimum working sets in wireless sensor networks, and an algorithm called binary particle swarm optimization-g in literature, the number of active nodes in this algorithm is reduced by about 36%, 30% and 23% respectively.

Pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) is a frequent presentation to the Acute Medical Unit, and is a source of significant morbidity, both the psychological burden of an uncertain diagnosis and prognosis and untreated complications of the underlying pathology. We present a problem based review of the management of PUO, illustrated by a patient who recently presented to our unit with fever and systemic malaise after returning from abroad and in whom no cause could be found for more than two months. We describe a structured approach making use of complex modern techniques such as Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) which ultimately provided the diagnosis for our patient.

Unplanned medical 30 day readmissions place a burden on the provision of acute hospital services and are increasingly used as quality indicators to assess quality of care in hospitals. Multivariable logistic regression of a 10 year database showed that four factors were most strongly associated with early readmission: Charlson comorbidity index >=1, respiratory disease as a principal diagnosis, liver disease and alcohol-related illness as an additional diagnosis, and the number of previous readmissions. Disease and patient-related factors beyond control of the hospital are the factors most strongly associated with 30 day readmission to hospital, suggesting that this may not be an appropriate quality indicator.

Published: June 2021

Introdução: este estudo avaliou a ação antimicrobiana de sete dentifrícios nacionais com ação antiplaca ou antimicrobiana, conforme os fabricantes, sobre os patógenos orais Streptococcus mutans e Candida albicans. Métodos: a avaliação dos dentifrícios foi realizada pelo teste de difusão em ágar. Placas de Petri com meios de cultura ágar cérebro coração e ágar Sabourad foram semeadas com suspensão microbiana padronizada de S. mutans e C. albicans. Poços foram confeccionados no ágar semeado e preenchidos com as soluções dos dentifrícios diluídas em 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 e 1:8, além dos controles positivo (solução de clorexidina 2%) e negativo (dentifrício sem princípios ativos). Após incubação por 48h/37°C, os halos de inibição do crescimento microbiano foram medidos com paquímetro e régua milimetrada, e os resultados finais dos halos obtidos em milímetros. Resultados e conclusão: verificou-se que todos os dentifrícios, na diluição de 1:1, foram efetivos sobre C. albicans e S. mutans, exceto o composto de bicarbonato de sódio e extratos vegetais, o qual não inibiu S. mutans. Na diluição de 1:2, somente o dentifrício contendo triclosan inibiu C. albicans, enquanto todos mostraram algum potencial de inibição ao S. mutans. Nas demais diluições, não foram observados halos de inibição de ambos os microrganismos. A C. albicans demonstrou ser mais resistente à ação inibitória dos antimicrobianos dos dentifrícios testados neste estudo. S. mutans demonstrou ser mais sensível à ação dos dentifrícios, no entanto, a diluição durante a escovação dentária reduz a ação inibitória esperada, indicando a importância da remoção mecânica do biofilme.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the different combinations of intensity and color of LED monochrome lamps for optimal productivity, as well as the internal and external quality of Alabio duck eggs. The study was carried out for 4 weeks period of raising which was devided in 2 stages. In the first stage, it was used a completely randomized factorial design of 4 light colors x 3 light intensities with 4 replications with 5 ducks of each replicate, totaling 240 laying Alabio ducks. The light color was 4 colors consisted of yellow, red, blue, and green, alongside with intensity levels of 10 lux, 15 lux, and 20 lux. The irradiation method of layer ducks was 18 hours light and 10 hours dark (18L: 10D of ahemeral method). The variables observed were laying age, egg production and the total weight of eggs, mortality, feed consumption, FCR, and income over feed cost (IOFC). In the second stage, it was selected 3 best combination treatments from the first phase. The experimental method was based on a completely randomized design, encompassing the best treatments as P1, P2, and P3, with 5 replications with 10 duck per replicate, totaling 150 laying Alabio ducks. The variables were egg internal quality, which consisted of haugh unit egg, yolk index (EYI), egg albumin index, and yolk color. The external egg quality observed were egg weight, shell thickness, shape index, and specific gravity. The results of the first phase showed the best productivity was achieved in blue color with an intensity of 15 lux on all measured variables. The results in the second stage showed the best treatment is blue light color treatment with a light intensity of 15 lux, on the internal qualities of duck eggs include HU (95.11±2.39), EYI (0.421±0.63), EAI (0.121±0.12), egg yolk color (8.36±0.31), and also the best in terms of external quality, with the highest egg weight (66.76±5.21 g). It was concluded that the combination of blue light color with an intensity of 15 lux significantly increased the egg production and performance of Alabio duck from Kalimantan.
Solving a Mystery in Levels-of-Processing Research: The Word-First Paradigm
Authors: Tekin Eylul , Roediger Henry L.
Published: June 2021

In the standard levels-of-processing (LOP) paradigm, subjects are presented with a question directing them to attend to surface features (case), phonetic features (rhyme), or semantic features (category) of an upcoming word. Answering the question greatly affects recall and recognition for the word, and this outcome is attributed to differing LOP of the word. Craik (1977) reasoned that if the words appeared before the questions (i.e., the word-first paradigm) under intentional learning instructions, the LOP effect would disappear. However, when he conducted experiments using the word-first paradigm, the effect remained. We conducted 2 experiments to try to explain this puzzle. In the first experiment, we replicated Craik’s findings in one condition, and in other conditions we asked subjects to make judgments of learning (JOLs) in an attempt to eliminate the LOP effect because JOLs seem to promote deep processing. However, the LOP effect still occurred, albeit in attenuated form. In Experiment 2, we tested 2 new conditions to overcome and explain the LOP effect in the word-first paradigm. In one case, subjects were instructed to use idiosyncratic study strategies to memorize the word; the second condition required subjects to perform pleasantness judgments on the words. The pleasantness rating condition eliminated the LOP effect, but the first did not. We conclude that in the word-first paradigm, subjects typically keep the word in mind without semantic processing using rote rehearsal, despite intentional learning instructions.
