Technology and Democracy
Authors: Zipperstein Steven E.
Published: February 2023

The three books featured in this Global Perspectives review symposium – Stein Ringen’s How Democracies Live; Francis Fukuyama’s Liberalism and its Discontents; and Craig Calhoun, Dilip Gaonkar and Charles Taylor’s Degenerations of Democracy – each raise important and urgent concerns about the fate of liberal democracy, especially in the United States. This essay argues that policymakers must focus on the interplay between democracy and technology to stimulate democratic renewal in the 21st century. Technology must be democratized through new regulatory and policy approaches to deliver the benefits of broadband internet access as widely as possible. And democracy must be technologized by leveraging new frontiers in artificial intelligence, blockchain and other advanced technologies to improve democratic accountability, public goods provision and state capacity.

In this work, a new hydrophilic Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration membrane was prepared by blending of Metal-Organic frameworks (MOFs) -MIL-101 using the phase inversion method. The effect of the MIL-101 on the morphology and efficiency of the modified membranes was researched. The nano-particle and prepared membranes were all characterized by various physicochemical techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and water contact angle. The experimental results showed that the modified membranes showed high hydrophilicity and increased pure water flux (up to 352.8 L/m2 •h) compared to the pure membrane. Furthermore, the antifouling properties of the membranes were improved. The 0.2wt% MIL-101/PVDF membrane demonstrated the highest flux recovery ratio (FRR) value (90.4%) and the lowest irreversible fouling resistance (Rir) value (9.6%). The oil rejection >99% for the 10,000 ppm engine oil/water mixture showed the modified membrane has a good treatment effect on oil-water separation. Blending low concentration of MIL-101 could endow the PVDF membranes had higher pure water flux, rejection rate and better antifouling property than the pure membrane.

0-20 wt % Cobalt doped hematite iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) thin films were deposited on 500°C heated glass substrates via spray pyrolysis method with moving nozzle. The dopant concentration is stepped as 0, 2%, 5%, 10%, and 20%. For the non doped thin film, XRD analyses exhibit the presence of diffraction peaks corresponding to planes (012), (104), (110), (113), (024), (116), (214), and (300) confirming the formation of α-Fe2O3 phase. While for the Co doped α-Fe2O3 thin films, further diffraction peaks corresponding to α-Fe2O3 phase, peaks matching well with the planes (200) and (311) of cobalt oxides CoO and Co3O4 respectively are observed. Co substitution was confirmed by XRD based on peaks shift of hematite towards higher angles. The crystallite size of the hematite increases from 37nm to 47nm with increasing dopant from 0 to 2wt. % Co/Fe. Then it decreases to 28nm for 20wt. % Co doping. While for cobalt oxides CoO and Co3O4, their crystallite sizes were found to be in the range of 29-32nm and 18-43nm, respectively. The optical investigation indicates an increase in transmittance with increasing the dopant level reaching 80% at 600nm with blue shift in the band gap for the doped samples. FTIR study confirms the existence of the cobalt oxides at wave number average 460-542cm-1 . As an application in the areas of the antibacterial test, cobalt doped hematite nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit a good antibacterial activity against E. coli, Listeria innocua, Pseudo monas aeruginosa and Salmonella beyond 5wt. % Co/Fe doping.

No âmbito da Reforma Psiquiátrica brasileira, a assistência às crises psíquicas representa um desafio aos serviços de urgência. Nesse sentido, objetivou-se analisar as concepções dos profissionais de saúde do Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência de Natal-RN, Brasil, sobre o atendimento às urgências psiquiátricas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa que utilizou a entrevista como instrumento de coleta de informações. A partir da análise temática, os discursos foram agrupados em três categorias: o estigma sobre o paciente e o medo do profissional nas intervenções do serviço em urgências psiquiátricas; urgência psiquiátrica entendida como situação de risco à segurança do paciente e de terceiros; urgência psiquiátrica entendida como agressividade ou depressão severa do paciente. A análise dos dados aponta que elementos associados à ideologia da periculosidade e segregação social da loucura sustentam o ideário dos profissionais entrevistados. Portanto, a pesquisa suscitou reflexão sobre questões relevantes para o processo de concretização da Reforma Psiquiátrica.

This was inextricably linked to the suffering of victims of terrorism-related crimes, who needed the government to provide them with legal protection. The study aims to analyze and compare some cases concerning how victims of terrorist crimes in Indonesia are protected by the law, particularly with regard to medical assistance, psychosocial and psychological rehabilitation. With a legal empirical methodology and descriptive analytical research criteria, this study used qualitative research techniques. The study was carried out in Jakarta at the National Counterterrorism Agency. Primary data and secondary data are also used. Using interviews and a literature review, the data is collected. The data were reduced, displayed, and categorize using the methods described above. using qualitative analytical techniques to provide data as narrative text descriptions. According to the study's findings, there are advantages and disadvantages to Indonesia's legal protection of those who have been victims of terrorist crimes. One issue is that the filing deadline for claims made on behalf of those who have already been victims of terrorism crimes is only June 22, 2021. The legal protection of victims of terrorist crimes is hampered by a number of reasons in Indonesia’s legal protection of those who have been the victims of terrorist crimes.

Is Moral Education Effective in Preventing Radicalism and Terrorism?
Authors: Ariyani Sri Dewi
Published: February 2023

Pancasila is a solution to the problem of radicalism that is currently plaguing Indonesia. So it is hoped that the values in Pancasila must really be carried out by the people of Indonesia in order to prevent and minimize radicalism and terrorism in our beloved country. The loss of the values contained in Pancasila in Indonesian society is the root of the emergence of various acts of radicalism and terrorism in Indonesia. Therefore, the implementation of Pancasila values, in order to remain actual in facing the threat of radicalism, must place more emphasis on conveying three messages, namely, first, this country was formed based on agreement and equality, in which no one should feel that he is the main shareholder, or citizen. first class. Second, the rules of the game within the state have been agreed upon, and the state has full sovereignty to discipline its state members who are trying systematically to change the order, in ways that are against the law. Third, the state provides protection, opportunity, future and balanced protection to achieve the national goals of a just and prosperous, secure, civilized and independent society. The Indonesian government has recently begun to be wary of the development of radicalism in the country in relation to the ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) network. The issue of ISIS has become a global issue and it seems that the world is united to fight it. Seeing this phenomenon, steps need to be taken to prevent radicalism from thriving in this motherland. In addition to taking action against the perpetrators of radicalism, the government must also take preventive or preventive measures so that people are not easily provoked by ideologies that use religious attributes. Close cooperation is needed between the government, security forces and religious leaders to straighten out religious understanding.
Terrorism and Islam in the Global Perspective
Authors: Mestika Hana Fairuz
Published: February 2023

Regarding terrorism, it is endless if discussed further. Nowadays the world or the international community often considers that Muslims are terrorists, and in their minds, they have been imprinted if there is a crime of terrorism, surely Muslims are the perpetrators. Even though it is a very, very big mistake. Muslims are never taught to be terrorists, they are never taught or educated to be criminals. Many in the international community do not want to make friends with people who convert to Islam because they are afraid. Why do so many people misinterpret the radical movement and relate to the religion of Islam. Of course, this is not true. We as a young generation must change the existing mindset, which has been imprinted in many of the thoughts of the international community regarding terrorism itself. In fact, terrorism is a criminal act that is currently the most troubling criminal offense in the world.

Published: February 2023

Berbagai studi terhadap akademisi selama ini lebih banyak berfokus pada pendekatan patogenesis seperti penanganan stres atau beban kerja. Sementara itu, studi melalui kerangka salutogenesis seperti well-being masih jarang dilakukan, padahal hal tersebut penting untuk penguatan ketahanan psikologis dan peningkatan batas toleransi stres. Maka dari itu, riset kali ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi dan mengkaji kualitas well-being pada dosen dengan menggunakan konstruk PERMA: positive emotions, engagement, relationship, meaning dan accomplishment. Dalam penelitian ini, The PERMA Profiler digunakan untuk mengukur kesejahteraan psikologis 159 dosen UPI (pria= 50,31%; perempuan= 39,62%; tidak teridentifikasi= 10,06%) yang dipilih secara aksidental dari delapan fakultas. Hasil uji deskriptif menggambarkan bahwa mayoritas akademisi di UPI memiliki kualitas well-being yang cukup adekuat. Selain itu, analisis korelasional dengan menggunakan pearson pada setiap dimensi menunjukkan bahwa semua pilar PERMA dan well-being memiliki korelasi kuat dengan nilai paling signifikan ada pada relationship (r = .873; p .01). Di sisi lain, kesepian pada dosen tidak ada hubungannya dengan well-being, namun berkaitan erat dengan emosi negatif (r = .630; p .01). Dinamika well-being pada dosen serta implikasinya terhadap institusi akademik dibahas lebih lanjut.There are plenty of studies on academicians that focus on pathogenic approaches, such as work stress treatment or workload burden. Meanwhile, only a few types of research implemented salutogenic framework like well-being, whereas this kind of approach is crucial to bolster the psychological strength and escalate the line of stress tolerance. Therefore, this study aims to dive in and examine the quality of an academician’s well-being in the university using five constructs called PERMA: positive emotions, engagement, relationship, meaning, and accomplishment. The PERMA Profile was used to measure psychological well-being of 159 lecturer in UPI (man= 50, 31%; woman= 39,62%; unidentified= 10,06%) that was chosen by accidental sampling from eight faculties. The descriptive analysis depicted that most academicians in UPI have adequate well-being. Besides, correlational analysis using Pearson on each dimension showed that all pillars of PERMA and well-being had a strong correlation with the most significant value was on "relationship" (r = .873; p .01). On the other hand, loneliness in academicians did not correlate with well-being, yet had a close relation with negative emotions (r= .630; p.01). The dynamics of an academician’s well-being and its implication toward the institution are discussed.

Authors: Dariyo Agoes
Published: February 2023

Early marriage is one of the problems faced by the Indonesian people, because it has a negative impact on the increase in the divorce rate for young couples. Furthermore, divorce will suffer children, because they do not get the attention and love of their parents, so they become neglected children. One of the causes of early marriage is the lack of information about the bad effects of early marriage. On this basis, this research is a development of previous research (Dariyo, Rahaditya & Hadiati, 2020) with the aim of providing information about the dangers of early marriage, which is realized with the song "Do not marry young". The research method uses the ADDIE approach (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation & Evaluation). The results of the research that the birth of the song “ Jangan Kawin Muda” was carried out through the ADDIE process. The poems and songs Jangan Kawin Muda have been validated by a music psychologist and 74 teenagers. The song "Jangan Kawin Muda" has fulfilled the rhythm, melody, style, instrument and beat that can be felt positively by teenagers, so that they can understand, memorize and sing the song well. In the end, they are motivated to delay early marriage. On the other hand, the video display still needs improvement with the thematic video clip display of the song.

Published: February 2023

Talking about traditional music, it is important to discuss the religious beliefs of the people around the music. This also applies to the Toraja tribe, which is located in the mountainous region of the southern island of Sulawesi. One of the arts that exist within the Toraja environment is Manimbong. Manimbong is a Torajan art form that combines two arts, music and dance, performed by a group of men at the Rambu Tuka' ceremony. This art is known as the art of Aluk Todolo (Toraja tribal religion). The introduction of Christianity in Toraja society has also affected some Toraja cultures. This research aims to see the changes in function that occur in Manimbong. In analyzing this research to see changes in the function of Manimbong using descriptive qualitative research methods. Primary and secondary data were obtained using observation, interview, and document study data collection techniques. Credibility criteria as a basis for conducting data validation techniques and data triangulation are in the standard of degrees of trust. The conclusion of this research is that Manimbong is not an art owned by Aluk Todolo or Christian, but belongs to all Toraja people. In addition, in the process of changing its function, Manimbong changes according to the context of several things, such as changes in the meaning of the poem of Manimbong itself in both Christianity and Aluk Todolo, as well as in the context in which Manimbong is performed or staged.

In brief

Seminal nerve growth factor induces ovulation in camelids by influencing the secretion of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) into the portal vessels of the pituitary gland. We show that the nerve growth factor-induced release of GnRH is not mediated directly through interaction with hypothalamic neurons.

Ovulation in camelids is triggered by seminal nerve growth factor (NGF). The mechanism of action of NGF appears to occur via the central nervous system. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that NGF acts in the hypothalamus to induce GnRH release. To determine if NGF-induced ovulation is associated with a rise in NGF concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), llamas were i) mated with an urethrostomized male, ii) mated with intact male, or given intrauterine iii) seminal plasma or i.v.) saline (Experiment 1). To characterize the luteinizing hormone (LH) response after central vs peripheral administration, llamas were treated with saline (negative control) or NGF either by i.v. or intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration (Experiment 2). To determine the role of kisspeptin, the effect of ICV infusion of a kisspeptin receptor antagonist on NGF-induced LH secretion and ovulation was tested in llamas (Experiment 3). In Experiment 1, a surge in circulating concentrations of LH was detected only in llamas mated with an intact male and those given intrauterine seminal plasma, but no changes in CSF concentrations of NGF were detected. In Experiment 2, peripheral administration (i.v.) of NGF induced an LH surge and ovulation, whereas no response was detected after central (ICV) administration. In Experiment 3, the kisspeptin receptor antagonist had no effect on the LH response to NGF. In conclusion, results did not support the hypothesis that NGF-induced ovulation is mediated via a trans-synaptic pathway within the hypothalamus, but rather through a releasing effect on tanycytes at the median eminence.

In brief

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) has an urgent need for reliable prenatal biomarkers. This study profiled the circular RNAs (circRNAs) in PAS placenta and maternal blood and identified two circRNAs can regulate trophoblast cells invasion and serve as noninvasive prenatal biomarkers for PAS prediction.

PAS is one of the most alarming obstetric diseases with high mortality rates. The regulating mechanism underlying PAS remains to be investigated, and reliable blood biomarkers for PAS have not emerged. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have become important regulators and biomarkers for disparate human diseases. However, the circRNA profiles of PAS were not reported, and the regulatory role and predictive value of circRNAs in PAS were unknown. Here, we comprehensively profiled the circRNAs in the placenta of PAS by transcriptome sequencing and analysis and uncovered 217 abnormally expressed circRNAs. Through competing endogenous RNA network analysis, we found that the target genes of upregulated circRNAs in PAS were enriched in placenta development-related pathways and further uncovered two circRNAs, circPHACTR4 and circZMYM4, that could regulate trophoblast cells invasion and migration in vitro. Finally, we verified that circPHACTR4 and circZMYM4 were also upregulated in the maternal peripheral blood of PAS women before delivery using transcriptome sequencing and RT-qPCR and evaluated their predictive value by ROC curves. We found that circPHACTR4 and circZMYM4 could serve as effective predicting biomarkers for PAS (area under the curve (AUC): 0.86 and 0.85) and propose an improved model for PAS prenatal prediction by combining the conventional ultrasound diagnosis with the new circRNA predictive factors (AUC: 0.91, specificity: 0.89, sensitivity: 0.82).Altogether, this work provides new resources for deciphering the biological roles of circRNAs in PAS, identified two circRNAs that could regulate trophoblast cells invasion during placentation, and revealed two noninvasive diagnostic markers for PAS.
Recursive Estimation in the Moving Window: Efficient Detection of the Distortions in the Grids with Desired Accuracy
Authors: Stotsky Alexander
Published: February 2023

The development of fast convergent and computationally efficient algorithms for monitoring waveform distortions and harmonic emissions will be an important problem in future electrical networks due to the high penetration level of renewable energy systems, smart loads, new types of power electronics, and many others. Estimating the signal quantities in the moving window is the most accurate way of monitoring these distortions. Such estimation is usually associated with significant computational loads, which can be reduced by utilizing the recursion and information matrix properties. Rank two update representation of the information matrix allows the derivation of a new computationally efficient recursive form of the inverse of this matrix and recursive parameter update law. Newton-Schulz and Richardson correction algorithms are introduced in this paper to prevent error propagation and for accuracy maintenance. Extensive comparative analysis is performed on real data for proposed recursive algorithms and the Richardson algorithm with an optimally chosen preconditioner. Recursive algorithms show the best results in estimation with ill-conditioned information matrices.
Multimodality Imaging to Explore Sex Differences in Aortic Stenosis
Authors: Singh Gurpreet K , Delgado Victoria
Published: February 2023

The aim of this article is to review sex differences in aortic stenosis (AS) assessed with multimodality imaging. Echocardiography remains the mainstay imaging technique to diagnose AS and provides important insights into the differences between men and women in relation to valve haemodynamic and left-ventricular response. However, echocardiography does not have adequate resolution to provide important insights into sex differences in the degenerative, calcific pathophysiological process of the aortic valve. CT shows that women with AS have more fibrotic changes of the aortic valve whereas men show more calcific deposits. Cardiac magnetic resonance shows that women have left ventricles that are less hypertrophic and smaller compared with those of men, while men have more replacement myocardial fibrosis. These differences may lead to different responses to aortic valve replacement because myocardial diffuse fibrosis but not replacement myocardial fibrosis may regress after the procedure. Sex differences in the pathophysiological process of AS can be assessed using multimodality imaging, assisting in decision-making in these patients
EFL Secondary Education Teachers’ Perceptions Toward Using Online Student Response Systems
Authors: Cancino Marco , Ibarra Paloma
Published: February 2023

This mixed-methods study explored 30 EFL teachers’ perceptions of online student response systems (OSRSs) in emergency remote teaching settings. Data were collected using a survey addressing components related to the acceptance and use of OSRSs and semi-structured interviews. Survey findings revealed that OSRS components are regarded as helpful and engaging by EFL teachers. At the same time, interview data identified drivers (ease of use, increased student engagement, and immediate feedback) and obstacles (internet connection issues, lack of training, and distractive elements) concerning OSRS use. Pedagogical implications refer to the need for EFL teachers to receive proper training before using OSRSs and the benefits of accepting the gamified aspects of OSRSs as a significant feature that can support learning.
The Influence of Emotions and Word Frequency in First and Second Language Processing: Evidence From the Emotional Stroop Task
Authors: Lizarazo Pereira Diana Marcela , Roberts Felicia , Tamayo Ricardo M.
Published: February 2023

First (L1) and second (L2) language speakers process information differently. The current study explores whether L1 and L2 English language speakers process the emotional connotations of high and low-frequency words using the emotional Stroop task. With this task, we measure the reaction time required to name the color of words with positive, neutral, and negative valence. The sample was 100 participants, 50 L1 English speakers and 50 L2 English speakers. Our results show that L2 English speakers process words slower than L1 English speakers do. L1 English speakers processed positive words faster than negative words, but L2 English speakers displayed a reversed pattern, which indicates L2 emotional attenuation for negative words.

Miniature Crowd Frescoes from Knossos
Authors: Valentinová Lucie
Published: February 2023

This study discusses prevailing interpretations of the miniature frescoes from Knossos as depictions of some sort of ritual or ceremony, located topographically in Knossos’s Central and West Courts. It revises the question of the narrativity of Minoan frescoes, based on the interpretive approach developed by Alpers in her exploration of seventeenth-century Dutch art and ‘visual culture’. Applying Alpers’s insights for Minoan frescoes allows for an original interpretation based on a formal analysis of their non-narrative devices of representation, namely (1) vertical perspective, (2) map-like composition and (3) suppressed focalisation. The study demonstrates that once their representational strategy is recognised as non-narrative, it is no longer possible to interpret the subject theme of the Knossian miniatures by applying the frequently used narrative analytical category of ritual as a transformative ‘event’. Instead, the operation of these devices focuses our attention on the performative dimension of viewing as a testament to the knowledge of the land and society and the specific way in which the Knossian miniature frescoes absorb their viewer into this performance.

Analisi e rappresentazione cartografica delle spartizioni polacche nella manualistica scolastica e storiografia comunista e postcomunista

Analysis and cartographic representation of the Polish Partitions in school manuals and the communist and post-communist historiographyThe overall purpose of this comparative study is to analyze the substantial differences that emerge in the treatment of the Polish Partitions by the Marxist school manual in its various editions of the same content, with respect to the 1991 text of “transition” – in perpetuated oscillation between the will to fill the void of the historical inattention overcome in the aftermath of the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the inability to fill it up – and that of the “Nowa Era” history manual – one of the most widely adopted by secondary schools in Poland – that encapsulates the contributions of new historiography by turning on the spotlight on unprecedented interpretative evaluations. The non-unitarity of the historiographic analysis of the matter in question is further confirmed by the analysis of the map sources of the respective manuals, revealing the partial nature of the cartographic document whose deliberate deformations lead to  merely ideological denotations.

Szpitale diecezji kamienieckiej około 1830 roku

In the Old Polish period hospitals were not institutions where the ill were treated but rather the places were responsible for providing care for those who needed help. The situation was similar about 1830. There were a lot of factors which had an essential influence on condition of hospitals and charity in the Diocese of Kamyantes about 1830; the factors were: dispersion of believers, poverty prevailing among Podolian presbyteries and cloisters, as well as strictly connected with the poverty of believers: farm nobility, few Polish townspeople, and Polish peasantry which colonized land ruined by Turks. The fall of the Republic and anti-Polish and anti-Catholic policy of czar’s authorities deepened processes of pauperizations believers of the Catholic Church. Taking all these factors into consideration, we ought to be surprised at the poor shape of parish hospitals and almost complete lack of church hospitals which above all would treat the ill (they were only in Gródek). Looking after a few dozens of the ill in 30 hospitals, with money coming from almost only from the alms, ought to be regarded as huge success of that society. The funds which parsons and superiors of cloisters had in their disposal influenced on condition of buildings, a number of people living in them, quality of their daily food and clothes which they could have at their disposal. It is also necessary to underline that on Podolia the process of disappearing of parish hospital shelters which began on the turn of the XVIIIth and XIXth centuries on lands inhabited mostly by Poles.
