Culture-Specific Items’ Translation Into Lithuanian: “One Hundred Years of Solitude” By Gabriel García Márquez
Authors: Leonavičiūtė Gabija , Kuzminskaitė Dovilė
Published: May 2021

Growing interest in Spanish-speaking countries in Lithuania leads to the increased number of translations of Spanish and Latin American literature. Therefore, it is important to analyse translations from Spanish into Lithuanian and vice versa to improve the quality of translation work. One of the most difficult elements to translate are culture-specific items that reveal cultural uniqueness. The novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel García Márquez contains many culture-specific items related to Colombia, that could be difficult to translate. This article aims to analyse and compare translation strategies of culture-specific items from Spanish into Lithuanian, which were used in 1972 by Elena Treinienė and in 2017 by Valdas V. Petrauskas, to translate the novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude”. Firstly, this article defines the concepts of cultural elements and culture-specific items. It also discusses the classification of culture-specific items based on the works of Eugene Nida, Peter Newmark, Sergej Vlahov, Sider Florin and Laura Santamaria Guinot. Furthermore, this article describes translation strategies of culture-specific items emphasized by Amparo Hurtado Albir, Eirlys Davies, Georges L. Bastin and Pekka Kujamäki. In this research, culture-specific items are counted and described using Santamaria Guinot’s classification, which allows to claim that there are 69 different culture-specific items in “One Hundred Years of Solitude” and they are reflected by 252 examples in the text. These culture-specific items are related with concepts of ecology, social structures, cultural institutions, social universe and material culture. The most common ones are culture-specific items from the category of ‘material culture’. The results of the research allow distinguishing six translation strategies, used in different frequency: transcription, equivalence of situations, actualisation, usage of exoticism, extension and explication, and omission. Both Lithuanian translators Treinienė and Petrauskas mainly used strategies of transcription and equivalence of situations. The analysis of the translation of culture-specific items was performed using the methods of quantitative, comparative, and descriptive translation analysis.
Możliwości wykorzystania wskaźników adaptacyjnych narracji autobiograficznych w pracy z osobami z diagnozą schizofrenii paranoidalnej
Authors: Wojtak Maria
Published: May 2021

Niniejszy artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań z zakresu psychologii klinicznej zrealizowane z wykorzystaniem perspektywy oraz metodologii narracyjnej. Zdrowie psychiczne w ujęciu narracyjnym definiowane jest jako zdolność do tworzenia życiowej opowieści spełniającej określone kryteria formalne (Stemplewska-Żakowicz, Zalewski, 2010). Głównym celem badań było scharakteryzowanie – z perspektywy psychologii narracyjnej – autonarracji tworzonych przez osoby z diagnozą schizofrenii paranoidalnej oraz uchwycenie tzw. zdrowych/ adaptacyjnych wskaźników narracji autobiograficznych (beneficial life stories indicators). W badaniu wzięło udział 9 pacjentów z rozpoznaniem schizofrenii paranoidalnej w fazie remisji.

Narracje autobiograficzne osób badanych pozyskane zostały w odpowiedzi na bodziec narracyjny: „Proszę o opowiedzenie mi historii swojego życia”, rozpoczynający wywiadna temat historii życia (The Life Story Interview) autorstwa Dana P. McAdamsa (1985, 2006). Rekonstrukcja strategii tworzenia opowieści o własnym życiu przez osoby badane pozwoliła określić stopień przystawalności narracji autobiograficznych osób chorych na schizofrenię do kryteriów sprzyjających zdrowiu narracji. Wyniki badań ujawniły także wewnętrzne zróżnicowanie historii życia pacjentów w obrębie całej grupy.

Przytoczone w artykule kryteria oraz ich konceptualizacja w odniesieniu do opowieści o życiu konstruowanych przez pacjentów psychiatrycznych może stanowić podstawę teoretyczną dla różnicowania autonarracji charakterystycznych dla prawidłowego funkcjonowania jednostki. Wskaźniki te pełnią również potencjalnie rolę wskazówek dla klinicystów, psychiatrów oraz psychoterapeutów pracujących z pacjentami psychotycznymi. Ponadto identyfikacja zakłóceń bądź deficytów występujących na poziomie narracji autobiograficznych umożliwia wgląd w fenomenologię choroby z punktu widzenia osoby jej doświadczającej, co zaś wzbogaca psychologiczne strategie wyjaśniania zjawisk psychicznych zachodzących w osobach badanych o kategorię ich rozumienia.
Hydrocarbons support the global diplomacy of the Kurdistan Region
Authors: Hussein Dalsooz Jalal
Published: May 2021

This article empirically examines the competition of the world’s counties for the establishment of their diplomatic relations with non-state actor. It is underlined that the government of the Kurdistan region, which has used “soft power” to draw attention of the states. Among other tools, hydrocarbons (oil and gas) placed the main soft power policy of the Kurdistan government for its global movement. It is proven that the economic and hydrocarbon ambitions have led states to overpass their traditional understanding of global diplomacy; and this further inspires some of the previously antagonistic states to reshape their relations with non-state actor towards considering a close partner. The drawn conclusions correlated with the idea that the Kurdistan government would be more actively involved in the global diplomacy due to its oil and gas wealth.
From “absolute” time to “acquiring control over time”: theoretical aspects of social time in publications of the 1920s – 1930s
Authors: Artemov Viktor Andreevich , Novokhatskaya Olga Viktorovna
Published: May 2021

This article examines the publications of the Russian scholars on sociological aspects of social time, which are poorly studied in the Russian and foreign literature. The author believes that they are the pioneers in the field of the sociology of time. Analysis is conducted in such concepts as past, present, and future time; their content and correlation; time as the transformation process; use of time and control over time»; time of an individual and time of the social system; biological time as a step towards social time. The beginning of the XX century indicated the organic correlation of the development of natural science and general science and social practice, activity. Most vividly such correlation manifested in the area of the perception of time, relation the time of publications presented in the article, which are ideologically connected with the social practice of the studies on time, and the origins of the theory of social time.  It is noted that the first sociological study on the budgets of time was conducted in Petrograd in the 1821 – 1922 by P. Sorokin. The authors tried to remain within the field of sociology, understanding sociology as a science about functionality and transformation of social systems, presented by the “submerged” into cultural-institutional environment subsystems of the subjects, their activity and relationships. The article focuses attention on the statements of scholars, which had conceptual significance for the science, as well as for solution of the real time-budget problems.
Alienation of tradition as a way of person's relationship with the past

Published: May 2021

The subject of this research is the alienation of tradition as a way of relating to the past. The goal of this article consists in conceptualization of an “alienated tradition” as a mode of relationship between the social present and the social past, generated by the historical dynamics of development of the tradition, which is simultaneously a factor of social development and a source of personal suffering. The research methodology leans on the principle of social epistemology, which implies following the mutual conditionality of evolution of representations on connection between the present and the past, reflected in the concept of tradition sociocultural mechanisms of the  tradition. The article analyzes the language of interpretation of tradition as a combination of sociocultural mechanisms connecting the social present and the past. The novelty of this work consists in interdisciplinary synthesis of the concepts and research positions: the classical concept of alienation, research on intergenerational communication and cultural memory, socio-criticism studies, and theory of suffering. The alienation of tradition suggests objectification of these connections, in terms of which the social past perceived by a person as the new and communicative grounds for the alienation of tradition, emerged as result of increasing vicariousness of intergenerational communication. The alienation of tradition has a dual meaning. On the one hand, it becomes the foundation for self-determination of a person with regards to cultural continuum, force of development, due to the fact that a person is no longer positioned as a result of determinacy by the past, but an active subject who transforms the world relying on own mind, rather than the legacy of the past. On the other hand, the alienation of tradition becomes a cause of suffering; the more vicarious becomes the person’s relationship with the past, the more antagonistic and alienated become the grounds for his existence in culture that are determined by the past.
The image of mother in multi-structural languages (based on the material of the Russian and Tuvan languages)
Authors: Zharnikova Alena Vasil'evna , Tsybenova Chechek Sergeevna
Published: May 2021

This article analyzes the image of mother in the Russian and Tuvan languages based on the results of associative experiment. The key goal of this cross-cultural research is consists in comparison and determination of the constant meanings underlying this image and its ethnocultural peculiarities in the linguistic consciousness of native speakers of multi-structural languages. The object of this research is the verbal associations for the stimulus word “mother” in the linguistic consciousness of the Russian and Tuvan people. The empirical material is acquired in the course of experimental methods and viewed from the perspective of the fragments of linguistic consciousness, which reflect the image of the world of a particular culture. The practical value of the work is defined by the relevant contrastive study of the lexicon from the category of universal images, as well as by possibility of application of the obtained results in translation studies, cross-cultural communication, linguoculturology, and lexicography. The scientific novelty lies in carrying out a psycholinguistic interpretation of the associative fields "mother" and “ie”, examination of their field stratification, comparison of fragments of the core of linguistic consciousness of the Russian and Tuvan people. The selected image id describe through the prism of its archetypal nature. The conducted analysis reveals that the perception of a particular stimulus word in linguistic consciousness of a person is impacted not only by ethnic and sociocultural factors, but by the corresponding language norms as well.

Objetivo: Encorajar a comunidade científica a realizar estudos mais específicos e concretos que visem associar a doença periodontal ao surgimento do Mal de Alzheimer. Revisão bibliográfica: Dentre as várias causas do Alzheimer, este estudo destaca a sua possível relação com a doença periodontal. Em primeiro plano, as bactérias causadoras da periodontite acarretam uma resposta inflamatória sistêmica exacerbada pelas células de defesa do indivíduo, por conseguinte, esse quadro inflamatório facilita o desenvolvimento do Mal de Alzheimer em pessoas susceptíveis e amplifica os efeitos deletérios dos portadores da demência. Ademais, o acesso das bactérias ao córtex cerebral através do nervo trigêmeo e a consequente liberação de citocinas pró-inflamatórias constitui um mecanismo pelo qual a periodontite pode se relacionar com o desenvolvimento do Mal de Alzheimer. Outrossim, o tratamento precoce da doença periodontal pode evitar o desenvolvimento da Doença de Alzheimer. Considerações finais: Portanto, essa revisão mostra que a Doença de Alzheimer e a Periodontite podem possuir uma relação patogênica, contudo mais estudos precisam ser realizados para que esse fato seja estabelecido cientificamente.
World After Pandemic: New Socio-Psychological Complex Rises
Authors: Eva Easmin Akter
Published: May 2021

Among the rapid and fast growing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, many hidden realities of our daily lives have become complicated and apparent. Being in this pandemic era, it makes sense that prime focus should be on the sequential process of understanding, adjusting and coping with the running pandemic from a differently compatible perspective. By doing that, the everyday social management of pandemic has rigorously started to show how immensely this public health emergency issue has surfaced, been considered, managed and at times, even caused further marginalisation of sociohistorically disadvantaged groups that struggle hard to find proof in ‘abled’ society already. It is considered that the Covid-19 pandemic as a super transition to a more inclusive society in the newly found spirit of collective action and shared responsibility. Societies are finding alternative ways to reach their goals such as education, seminars, meetings are provided online. People go out after taking necessary preparations like putting on masks and maintaining social distance to protect themselves and others. It has become a new normal thing and it will be passed onto the world after this pandemic thoroughly. We are getting used to a new normality. We are bound to step out only with proper equipment like masks. This is our call as a community, this is our ethical and moral compass which should be leading us in this period of reconstruction. It entangles every social realm, more and more countries are on restricted mode and some are on total shut down mode which boldly affect education, health care, economic sectors, business world, domestic spheres and what not! Anxiety, depression, crime, domestic violence, increasing divorce rate; these all came voluntarily with this pandemic as a package. To deal with a bizzare like that, it is taking all of us a lot to cope up with, to survive through this.
Non-invasive assessment of short and ultra-short heart rate variability during different
physical and physiological tests
Authors: Alparslan Tuncay , Arabaci Ramiz , Gorgulu Recep
Published: May 2021

The
main aim of the present study was to determine the short- and ultra-short-term heart
rate variability (HRV) during different physical and physiological tests and to
compare HRV to different performance levels. The latter aim was to compare
participants’ short- and ultra-short-term heart rate variability
before-during-post-tests. Our hypothesis was that there would be a significant
difference between test performance and HRV parameters, and the high performing
group would have significantly higher HRV parameters than the low performing group.
Fifty-three healthy men (Mage=26.9±4 years, Mheight=177.9±5.7
cm; Mweight =77.8±8.7
kg) were recruited in the current study. We completed the data collection
procedure for each participant in four consecutive days. On day-1, anthropometric
measurements were conducted and then participants performed isokinetic tests. On
day-2, participants performed anaerobic tests; on day-3 equilibrium tests, and on
day-4 aerobic capacity tests. The HRV records of all participants were obtained
before, during and after all these tests. Based on the participants’
performance, they were divided into two groups: participants in G1 had lower
performance and those in G2 higher performance. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA
yielded significant differences in HRV values obtained in the four different
tests. There was a significant difference between fitness test performance and
the variation of short- and ultra-short-term HRV parameters. Also, significant
differences in HRV values before, during, and after the testing were observed.

Authors: Lestari Yenni , Rahmad M , Zulfarina Zulfarina
Published: May 2021

Students' understanding of concepts is a very important factor in the success of learning. But in reality, Indonesian students' conceptual understanding is still low. The factor of low understanding of students' concepts is because students are not actively involved in problem solving activities. Student involvement can be trained by using one of the communication tools in the form of interesting learning videos to get students' attention in learning activities. This research is a survey research as a first step in developing problem solving learning videos. The benefit of this research is to find out what students currently need in science learning and how much students need to develop problem solving based learning videos. The subjects used in this study were junior high school students with a sample size of 48 students selected based on a region. This needs analysis includes 4 indicators, namely a) analysis of learning problems; b) analysis of learners; c) analysis of objectives; d) analysis of settings. Based on the results of this study, information was obtained that the development of problem solving based learning videos was feasible to be developed as a science learning media to train students' conceptual understanding in the city of Pekanbaru

DFT study of the structure, conformational profile and the vibrational analysis of 2-furancarbothialdehyde and 3-furancarbothialdehyde
Authors: Ahmed S. , Abdalla S. , Ishaq A. , Umar Y.
Published: May 2021

The aim of this work is to study theoretically the geometrical structure, conformational prefe­rence, and vibrational properties of rotational isomers of 2- and 3-furancarbothialdehyde. The B3YLP hybrid density functional with the standard 6-311++G basis set is used to carry out all the calculations. The potential energy profile is calculated to determine the more stable conformer. The energy differences between cis and trans conformers show that the trans confor­mers are the preferred conformers with 0.70 kcal/mol and 1.36 kcal/mol for both 2-furan­carbothialdehyde and 3-furancarbothialdehyde respectively. Nine different solvents with the polarity ranging from ε = 1.92 to ε = 78.39 are used to study the effect of solvation on the conformational stability of the two molecules using the integral equation formalism in the polari­zable continuum model (IEF-PCM). The trans conformers are found to be more stable than the cis conformers in the gas phase. For 3-furancarbothialdehyde, the stability of the cis conformer increases as the dielectric constant of the solvent increases. On the other hand, the solvent reverses the conformational stability of 2-furancarbothialdehyde. The cis conformer becomes less stable as the dielectric constant of the solvent increases. The simulated infrared spectra of the molecules, geometrical parameters, and assignments of the vibrational modes are reported. Variations of the relative energy, dipole moment, and solvation energies as a function of the dielectric constant of solvents are investigated.
Das Unheimliche und die zwei Seiten der Psychoanalyse
Authors: Schmidt Christoph
Published: May 2021

Die Existenz unheimlicher Phänomene wird häufig als Beleg dafür herangezogen, dass unsere Welt letztlich verstandesmäßig undurchdringbar bleiben muss. Freud jedoch nimmt in seinem Text »Das Unheimliche« (1919h) eine Gegenposition dazu ein: Er entwirft eine Theorie des Unheimlichen. Gleichzeitig traut er sich dennoch an die für den Verstand so bedrohliche Erfahrung seiner eigenen Grenzen nahe heran. Diese doppelte Richtung des Freud-Textes stellt ein Oszillieren zwischen zwei Polen dar, die nicht nur im Unheimlichen, sondern in der Psychoanalyse überhaupt, in eine enge Beziehung miteinander treten: die Wissenschaft und das Dunkle. Denn die Psychoanalyse hat im Unbewussten ihren speziellen Gegenstand gefunden, der in einer Weise dem Unheimlichen gleicht: Es entzieht sich der Kontrolle, auch der letztgültigen theoretischen. Dass letzterer Umstand kein Grund dafür sein kann, Versuche der konsistenten Theoretisierung bezüglich speziell beschaffener Gegenstände zu unterbinden, das wird im zweiten Teil des vorliegenden Textes anhand der Rezeption des Unheimlichen Freuds durch Cixous und Lacan gezeigt. Eine Faszination für beide Pole, das Licht und das Unverständliche, entspricht der Tatsache, dass beide ohnehin in ihrer Position von der jeweils anderen abhängig sind und war als solche konstitutiv für die Entstehung der Psychoanalyse.
Übertragung und Gegenübertragung in Zeiten einer Pandemie

Published: May 2021

Der vorliegende Text wurde in zwei verschiedenen Momenten der Covid-19 Pandemie geschrieben; ca. sechs Wochen nach Beginn des ersten Lockdowns wurde versucht, in der für PatientInnen und TherapeutInnen gleichermaßen traumatisierenden Situation anhand von bestehenden theoretischen Konzepten etwas Klarheit in die therapeutische Arbeit zu bringen. Um die Erschütterung, die durch die Corona-Krise entstand, besser zu verstehen, werden die Konzepte des transsubjektiven Raums, der Ambiguität und das Konzept von Übertragung-Gegenübertragung benutzt. Eine Fallvignette zeigt die eigene, persönliche Betroffenheit auf.
Nicasius Ellebodius and the “otium litterarum” The Vicissitudes of a Flemish Humanist in Pozsony (1571–77)
Authors: Orbán Áron
Published: May 2021

This study reviews Nicasius Ellebodius’s Pozsony (today: Bratislava) period (1571–77) from a biographical and intellectual historical perspective. Ellebodius (1535–1577) was a Flemish philologist of vast erudition, one of the finest Graecists of his day. His biography and character are much less discussed in scholarship than his works, although his letters provide us with invaluable information about his life, as well as about the participation of the academic elite of 16th-century Hungary in the international res publica litteraria. The article will revisit the problem of how far he could realize the otium litterarum that he yearned for so much, and what challenges he had to face in his everyday life in Pozsony.

This research discusses the interpretation of the Constitutional Court in reviewing laws regarding the formation of regions whose decisions grant the petitioner’s petition which have implications for changes in territorial boundaries, namely the Constitutional Court Decision No. 127 / PUU-VII / 2009. There are two problems examined in this research, namely (1) How is the interpretation of the Constitutional Court in resolving territorial boundary disputes through testing the laws in review of the 1945 Constitution; (2) How the design of territorial boundary dispute resolution constitutionally. The research method used is normative juridical research using a conceptual approach. In addition, it is reviewed with case studies related to the material being studied. The results of this study are (1) Based on the review of the Constitutional Court decision no. 127 / PUU-VII / 2009 which granted the request for judicial review of Law No. 56 of 2008 concerning the Establishment of Tambrauw Regency, the Constitutional Court stated that the legislators had ignored the aspirations of the people of Tambrauw Regency who had divided its territory from 10 (ten) districts into 5 (five) districts. This decision implied that 5 districts were re-entered into Law no. 56 of 2008 added 1 (one) district namely Fef District so that Tambrauw Regency has 11 (eleven) districts. Second, the design for the settlement of territorial boundaries is regulated in Permendagri Number 141 of 2017 and Law Number 23 of 2014, namely through Administrative (nonlegal) settlement by the Governor and the Minister of Home Affairs. In addition, legal dispute resolution is carried out through the Minister of Home Affairs’ judicial review rights at the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court through judicial review of regional formation laws.

Ten years ago, the Constitutional Court Decision Number 3/PUU-VIII/2010 confirmed that the granting of concession rights for coastal waters (after this: HP3) by the government to private parties was contrary against the constitution, especially Article 33 paragraph (4) of the 1945 Constitution. Legislators then respond to the decision to revise Law No. 27 of 2007 as Law No. 1 of 2014 on the Amendment of Law No. 27 of 2007 on the Management of Coastal Areas and Small Islands. The revision has changed the HP3 regime from Law 27/2007 to the licensing regime in Law 1/2014. Unfortunately, these changes would lead to various juridical problems ranging from conflict between the laws and regulations under legislation that ultimately is potentially detrimental to the constitutional rights of coastal communities. This research focuses on juridical and sociological aspects related to the coastal communities protection of constitutional rights after the Constitutional Court Decision Number 3/PUU-VIII/2010. This research in-depth discusses the follow-up of the Constitutional Court decision a quo by legislators, central government, local governments, stakeholders, and the fulfilment of the constitutional rights of coastal communities. This research is normative legal research by examining the Constitutional Court decision Number 3/PUU-VIII/2010. The descriptive discussion used to understand coastal zone management law's politics to fulfil the constitutional rights of coastal communities. Besides, integrated coastal zone management (Integrated Coastal Zone Management) is a dynamic process, multidisciplinary, and repeated to promote sustainable coastal areas' sustainable management. It includes the whole cycle of information collection, planning, decision-making, management, and implementation monitoring.

This research elaborates the Constitutional Court interpretation within Decision No. 49/PUU-IX/2011 on judicial review of Law No. 8 of 2011 on amendments of Law No. 24 of 2003 on the Constitutional Court which its decision has granted mostly the petitioner’s petitions to change the Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court members composition. There are at least two examined issues in this study, they are: Firstly, does the addition of elements House of Representative, Government and the Supreme Court contradict Article 1 paragraph (3) and Article 24 paragraph (1) and (2) of the 1945 Constitution? And secondly, what is the implication of the decision to repeal Article 27A paragraph (2) letters C, D, and E for check and balance between three branches of state government (executive, legislative and judicial) in Indonesia? This research is normative legal research that uses a conceptual approach, also reviewed with case studies related to material research. The results show; Firstly, based on the study to Indonesian Constitutional Court Decision No. 49/PUU-IX/2011 which accepted most of the petitioner’s petitions on judicial review of Law No. 8 of 2011, the Constitutional Court stated that the addition of elements House of Representative, Government and the Supreme Court as members in the Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court then legislators have endangered the freedom of judicial power as regulated Article 1 paragraph (3) and Article 24 paragraph (1) and (2) the 1945 Constitution. Secondly, this decision has an impact on the members of the Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court which only consists of two elements, namely the constitutional court and the judicial commission. Therefore, the Constitutional Court Decision is considered successful in keeping the principle of check and balance between three branches of state government in the Indonesian constitutional state system.

Problems with indigenous people in Boalemo district, Gorontalo Province often occur, especially the issues about the imposement of costumary sanctions. Imposing costumary sanctions without clear relugations will absolutely cause legal consequences in the future. Eventhough constitutional rights for indigenous people is already granted by the government as stated In article 18B paragraph (2), and Article 28 I paragraph (3) of The 1945 Constitution Of Republic Indonesia. This regulation is a mandate from the state and given to the regions. This regulation is oftenly referred when discussing the existence and rights of indigenous peoples and become a crutial issues when it comes to the implementation of the protection of the constitutional rights for indigenous peoples in Boalemo district Gorontalo Province. Therefore, This research aims to analyze the Legal standing for indigenous people and constitutional rights for costumary sanctions in Boalemo district Gorontalo Province. This normative research utilized secondary data as resourch and used statute approach and case approach. The results of the study discover that the costumary law and the imposement of costumary sanctions are still mantained and implemented in Indonesia. Government should more concern about constitutional rights compliance for indigenous people. However, the imposement of customary sanctions are not regulated in a regional regulation. So the constitutional rights which should become the spirit for regional autonomy to provide justice in a judiciary are only resolved by way of deliberation, This can not give the satisfaction for some parties.
Konsep Regulasi Berbasis Risiko: Telaah Kritis dalam Penerapannya pada Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja
Authors: Al'afghani Mohamad Mova , Bisariyadi Bisariyadi
Published: May 2021

The Law on Job Creation emphasizes the ease of doing business. One of the things that is of concern is the simplification of business permit. The concept of risk-based regulation is attractive to simplify the programs due to the assumption that it may cut off a number of licenses. However, the application of risk analysis to screen permits is something different from other countries. In addition, the application of risk-based regulations also needs to pay attention to the critique that is not accommodated in the Law. This paper describes 4 (four) critiques of the application of risk-based regulation in the Law, (i) the omnibus format confuses risk assessment, (ii) volatility risk has not been considered, (iii) systemic risk has not been considered and (iv) potential “regulatory capture”. Conceptually, the application of risk-based regulation has sparked an academic discourse regarding the broad understanding of regulation that has evolved far from the narrow meaning in academic discourse in Indonesia which defines it only as a statutory regulation.
Perdebatan dan Fenomena Global Legalisasi Pernikahan Sesama Jenis: Studi Kasus Amerika Serikat, Singapura, dan Indonesia
Authors: Chalid Hamid , Yaqin Arief Ainul
Published: May 2021

Same sex marriage is currently an international and controversial issue. The issues drive people from around the world, with different culture, religion, and countries into a dividing debate: is same-sex marriage needs to be legalized or banned? The debates brought some countries in different stances, some legalize, some ban and criminalize, and some without clear or specific rules in banning or legalizing it. Due to the differences found between countries, this research aims to provide answer and conclusion to this crucial question: is same-sex marriage is a universal human rights, in which countries should recognize and legalize it? The results of this study show that same-sex marriage is not a phenomenon or a right that can be accepted and recognized in all countries, cultural settings, and religions. Therefore same-sex marriage does not fulfill the requirements to be said as a universal human right which absolutely must be recognized, accepted, and fulfilled by all countries (without exceptional) in the world. Therefore, the policy to legalize or prohibit same-sex marriage is entirely an open legal policy which can be freely chosen by each sovereign state. There is no obligation under international law to legalize or prohibit that matter because it is not a universal human rights and moral standard which can be enforced recognition and fulfillment in every country.
Dendrometer measurements of arctic-alpine dwarf shrubs and micro-environmental drivers of plant growth - Dataset from long-term alpine ecosystem research in central Norway
Authors: Löffler Jörg , Dobbert Svenja , Pape Roland , Wundram Dirk
Published: May 2021

Here, we present fine-scale measurements of stem diameter variation from three common arctic-alpine dwarf-shrub species monitored in two mountain regions of Central Norway. All three species (Betula nana, Empetrum nigrum ssp. hermaphroditum, and Phyllodoce caerulea) are abundant within the studied regions and highly important contributors to potential future arctic-alpine vegetation shifts. A profound understanding of their radial growth patterns therefore has the potential to yield crucial information regarding climate-growth relations within these ecosystems. We used high-resolution dendrometers (type DRO) to monitor 120 specimens, taking measurements near the shoot base of one major horizontal stem. Along with the shrub growth measurements, we measured on-site micro-environmental data at each studied site, including shoot zone and root zone temperatures as well as soil moisture. All data were recorded at an hourly scale and are presented as daily mean values. The monitoring period spanned five full years (2015 - 2019), with additional data from 2014 and 2020. Data were collected within one of the most continental climate regions of Europe, the Vågå/Innlandet region, and in the oceanic climate region Geiranger/Møre og Romsdal, spanning a steep climate gradient over just ~100 km horizontal distance. Both study regions are characterized by steep elevational gradients and highly heterogeneous micro-topography. The studied sites were chosen to represent these natural conditions using the transect principle. The collection of our original data is subject of our long-term alpine ecosystem monitoring program since 1991, from which numerous publications function as the basis for a recent project on the use of dendrometer data in alpine ecosystem studies.

Published: May 2021

The 34% world supply of food proteins comes from livestock and the need to supplement it, makes that the number of animals rearing increases day by day. Nowadays, this process is not effective due to the farmers not having the correcttools and devices to minimize their energy consumption. In line, the objective of this project is to design an algorithm that helps to compress and decompress images to optimize the energy that is required for classifying and obtaining theinformation of the animals. The algorithms that we imple?mented to achieve the objective previously mentioned were the lossy image compression with Fast Fourier Transform and lossless image compression with Huffman Coding, they were the ones that gave us the best results in terms of complexity execution time, the least possible loss of information and with a good compression ratio.

AbstractBackgroundA growing body of studies on the indirect effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on stillbirths shows mixed and context-dependent evidence, even within high-income countries. We examined possible changes in the stillbirth rate in Germany during the first COVID-19 lockdown.MethodsWe used population-level data on live and stillbirths occurring between January 1995 and July 2020 and applied negative binomial regression to estimate the yearly and monthly stillbirth rate in this period. We compared the actual stillbirth rate to the expected figure for the first seven months of 2020, based on prediction intervals derived from the detected time trend.FindingsWe detected a steady increase in stillbirths in Germany since 2013, which was preceded by a declining (1995-2004), and then plateauing (2005-2012) stillbirth rate. The stillbirth rate for January 2020 through July 2020 (4·148) was slightly lower than the stillbirth rate in the same period in 2019 (4·242). Furthermore, all monthly stillbirth rates during the first half of 2020 lie inside the 95% prediction interval of expected stillbirth rates for this period. Thus, stillbirths in Germany have neither increased nor decreased during the country’s first COVID-19 lockdown period.InterpretationIn contrast to other European countries, stillbirth rates have been on the rise in Germany in the last decade. However, stillbirth rates during the first seven months of 2020 were not higher than expected. Our results suggest that stillbirth rates have neither increased nor decreased during the first-wave COVID-19 lockdown in this high-income setting. Further studies on the causes of the increasing stillbirth trend in Germany are needed, however.Funding statementNo external funding was received for this research.

The measurement of pressure by using distributed optical fiber sensors has represented a challenge for many years. While single-point optical fiber pressure sensors have reached a solid level of technology maturity, showing to be very good candidates in replacing conventional electrical sensors due to their numerous advantages, distributed sensors are still a matter of an intense research activity aimed at determining the most proper and robust pressure-sensitivity enhancement mechanism. This paper reviews early and recent works on distributed pressure sensors, classifying the sensors according to the sensing mechanism. For each type of mechanism, the issues and potentials are analyzed and discussed.The measurement of pressure by using distributed optical fiber sensors has represented a challenge for many years.

Human perception and action rely on a fundamental binding mechanism that forges integrated event representations from distributed features. Encountering any one of these features later on can retrieve the whole event, thus expediting cognitive processing. The traditional view on binding confines it to successful action episodes, holding that the human cognitive system does not leverage errors for optimizing corresponding event representations. Here we use sequential analyses of erroneous action episodes to explore whether binding promotes future successful behavior even when actions go awry. Results indicate that the processes leading to binding integrate different aspects of the action episode in a highly efficient and flexible manner to privilege future correct actions and prepare the ground for error-based learning.
Do minor thirds characterize the prosody of sad speech?

Published: May 2021

Pitch can convey information about emotion in both spoken language and in music. Given this, do people use pitch to communicate emotion in similar ways across both domains? To investigate this question we look at intervals between the fundamental frequency (f0) of adjacent syllables in emotional speech produced by actors. We first investigate whether descending minor third intervals are more prevalent in sad speech compared to other types of emotional speech, as has been reported previously. In these data, we see no evidence for descending minor thirds being characteristic of sad speech. In fact, we find little evidence for any specific musical intervals being associated with specific emotions in these longer sentences. We suggest that speakers might borrow emotional cues from music only when other prosodic options are infeasible.
Remapping the foundations of morality: Well-fitting structural model of the Moral Foundations Questionnaire
Authors: Zakharin Michael , Bates Timothy Charles
Published: May 2021

Moral foundations theory posits five moral foundations, however 5-factor models provide poor fit to the data. Here, in five studies, each with large samples (total N = 11,496), we construct and replicate a well-fitting model of the Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ). In study 1 (N = 2,271) we tested previously theorised models, confirming none provide adequate fit. We then developed a well-fitting model of the MFQ. This required 7 domains resulted from splitting the loyalty/purity and loyalty/patriotism aspects of existing domains, adding a general moral factor as well as a moral “tilt” factor, corresponding to left-right political distinctions. The new model replicated in 4 independent samples including western and eastern countries (N = 9,225). These findings demonstrate the first well-fitting replicable model of the MFQ. They also highlight the importance of modelling measurement structure, improving measurement precision and revealing important additional factors and group-factor structure within the moral foundations questionnaire.

Abstract: Based on the results of studies from the Indonesian earthquake map revision team (in Irsyam, M, et al, 2010) the active geological structure that passes through Palu City is in the form of PKF (Palu Koro Fault) and MF (Matano Fault) both are active faults that are often found around the Palu valley . The series of disasters that occurred on 28 September 2018 were caused by tectonic movements on the Korro Palu Fault. Therefore Palu City is required to have disaster mitigation measures. After the zoning of disaster-prone space in Palu City and surrounding areas that divides Palu City into 4 Zoning namely ZRB 4, ZRB 3, ZRB 2 and ZRB 1. Then there is the Determination of Land Acquisition Locations planned for permanent housing construction for disaster victims that overlap with ZRB 3, where in this zoning there is a prohibition to build new dwellings on it and there are those that overlap with community ownership rights. So that the need for disaster mitigation measures in the form of Disaster-Based Land Acquisition Potential Maps. In this map provides information on locations that are outside ZRB 4 and ZRB 3 and do not overlap with community ownership rights.Keyword: Disaster, Land Acquisition, Palu CityIntisari: Berdasarkan hasil studi dari tim revisi peta gempa Indonesia (dalam Irsyam, M, dkk, 2010) struktur geologi aktif yang melewati Kota Palu adalah berupa PKF (Palu Koro Fault) dan MF (Matano Fault) keduanya merupakan sesar aktif yang banyak dijumpai disekitar lembah Palu. Rentetan bencana yang terjadi pada tanggal 28 September 2018 disebabkan adanya pergerakan tektonik pada Patahan Palu Korro. Oleh sebab itu Kota Palu diharuskan memiliki tindakan mitigasi bencana. Setelah adanya zonasi ruang rawan bencana di Kota Palu dan sekitarnya yang membagi Kota Palu menjadi 4 Zonasi yaitu ZRB 4, ZRB 3, ZRB 2 dan ZRB 1. Kemudian adanya Penetapan Lokasi Pengadaan Tanah yang direncanakan untuk dibangun hunian tetap untuk korban bencana yang bertampalan dengan ZRB 3, dimana dalam zonasi ini ada larangan untuk membangun hunian baru diatasnya serta ada yang bertampalan dengan hak kepemilikan masyarakat. Sehingga perlu adanya tindakan mitigasi bencana berupa Peta Potensi Pengadaan Tanah Berbasis Kebencanaan. Dalam peta ini memberikan informasi lokasi-lokasi yang berada diluar ZRB 4 dan ZRB 3 serta tidak bertampalan dengan Hak Kepemilikan Masyarakat.Kata Kunci: Bencana, Pengadaan Tanah, Kota Palu

This study deals with the effectiveness of the English Language Teaching Reforms (ELTR) project, which was launched by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan in 2004. The purpose of the ELTR project was to enhance the teaching practices of English Language (EL) teachers teaching at the tertiary level. The project was divided into two phases: Phase I (2004-2010) and Phase II (2010-2013). In both phases, EL teachers were trained from various public colleges and universities across Pakistan. The teachers were offered long and short-term courses through which they could be professionally developed. The main aim of the current research was to trace the effectiveness of the project. For this purpose, this study adopted a qualitative methodology. Data was collected by carrying out semi-structured interviews with five English Language faculty members of a university who have received ELTR training. The interviews were thematically analyzed. The findings revealed that HEC has been trying to accomplish its set goals, but there are certain areas in which the goals have not been achieved due to loopholes.
