¿Un transhumanismo nietzscheano? Sobre la parcialidad del alegato
Authors: García-Granero Marina
Published: August 2020

El artículo analiza desde una perspectiva crítica las tentativas de interpretar a Nietzsche como un precursor del transhumanismo. Tras una breve contextualización del fecundo debate en torno a Nietzsche y el transhumanismo, se evalúa el carácter fraccional o parcial del alegato de Stefan Sorgner en favor de un “transhumanismo nietzscheano”. Después, se investiga la tensión entre humanidad, la superación del ser humano y su cría en los escritos de Nietzsche. Una vez ejecutado este análisis, y sin ánimo de caer en el anacronismo, se sostiene que Nietzsche anticipa ciertamente un germen de la idea de post-humanidad, en su crítica de la cultura humanista y en su invitación a transformar el ser humano y superar el nihilismo, pero no asimilable a la vertiente tecnológica del transhumanismo. Para concluir, se sugiere una prospectiva de análisis del transhumanismo desde una perspectiva nietzscheana, tomando como ejemplo la imagen de las “sombras de Dios”.
Vencer a la muerte. Crítica antropológica y teológica del proyecto transhumanista
Authors: Justo Domínguez Emilio-José
Published: August 2020

El movimiento transhumanista tiene, entre sus propuestas principales, el proyecto de alargar la vida para poder alcanzar la inmortalidad en una vida indefinida o en una forma cibernética de existencia. En este artículo se presenta la propuesta del transhumanismo y se reflexiona sobre el deseo de ser inmortales y sobre las implicaciones antropológicas de la muerte. La crítica se hace desde la consideración de aspectos fundamentales del ser humano, como la finitud, la historicidad y la vulnerabilidad. Además, el proyecto transhumanista de vencer la muerte supone una propuesta de salvación, que coincide en su formulación con la misma que hace el cristianismo. Ambos pretenden una victoria sobre la muerte. La crítica teológica se centra en la comprensión de la muerte y en la reflexión sobre los medios para vencerla. En este artículo la crítica al proyecto transhumanista se dirige, más que a lo que propone, a lo que queda sin plantear, provocando una reducción en la comprensión de la muerte y en la forma de vencerla.
El transhumanismo a la luz de la antropología filosófica
Authors: Natuzzi Cortazzo Julián P.
Published: August 2020

El propósito de este artículo es mostrar algunos aspectos ideológicos de la concepción de la tecnología y del ser humano que subyacen en el transhumanismo. Se intentan demostrar estos aspectos a la luz de la antropología filosófica de Scheler, Plessner y otros autores mediante los siguientes argumentos: la crítica a la concepción neutral de la tecnología, el rechazo de la idea del ser humano como homo faber y la errónea comprensión transhumanista de la vida y la muerte. A partir de una puesta en discusión de este movimiento con la antropología filosófica se comprueba que no hay ningún cambio de paradigma dentro del transhumanismo y que las viejas concepciones del ser humano que habían sido defendidas por la Modernidad siguen estando presentes.
Idealización, sublimación, normatividad. Una lectura psicoanalítica de la 'Crítica del Juicio'
Authors: Alemán Laín Pedro
Published: August 2020

Este artículo propone una lectura de la Crítica del Juicio a partir de los conceptos psicoanalíticos de idealización y de sublimación. La idealización se refleja en la noción kantiana de un fin final, el sumo bien, como el ideal que permite pensar la realización del mundo moral en el mundo de la naturaleza; por su parte, el proceso de sublimación aparece como el “reverso” del enjuiciamiento sobre el gusto. Esa correspondencia entre la sublimación y el enjuiciamiento permite describir una función normativa de la sublimación análoga en el arte y en la moral. La perspectiva psicoanalítica de la sublimación explica así la lectura ético-política de la obra que ha venido haciendo la ética contemporánea, a partir del enjuiciamiento estético.
La ontología del mundo material de Tomás de Aquino según Jeffrey E. Brower
Authors: Cuccia Emiliano Javier
Published: August 2020

El artículo analiza críticamente la propuesta contenida en el libro Aquinas’s Ontology of the Material World. Change, Hylomorphism, and Material Objects de Jeffrey E. Brower. Se sintetizan algunos de los puntos principales de la obra ero, particularmente, se evalúa el núcleo de su propuesta, consistente en poner en diálogo las ideas tomasinas acerca del mundo natural con las propuestas de la ontología contemporánea. Se evidencia que, más allá de las intenciones, el autor no consigue cumplir con lo proyectado en tanto parece ejercer en algunos puntos cierta violencia interpretativa contra conceptos centrales de la filosofía del Aquinate. Se concluye que dicha violencia es consecuencia de pretender circunscribir tales conceptos dentro de un contexto epistemológico radicalmente distinto como es el de la ontología contemporánea.
Metafísica y sentido común: la dialéctica de la razón filosófica
Authors: Mota Pinto Silvio
Published: August 2020

En este artículo, discuto la metodología filosófica frente a los límites del sentido y de la racionalidad. Empiezo con la concepción según la cual el filósofo debería resignarse a exhibir el sinsentido de otros filósofos, pero finalmente tendría que callarse, ya que su propio discurso necesariamente sobrepasa los límites de la racionalidad. En seguida, propongo una metodología interpretativa para la filosofía en un intento de caracterizar mejor estos límites y evitar el silencio que inviabilizaría todo el discurso filosófico. Finalmente, busco reconciliar la metodología filosófica interpretativa con la irracionalidad interna del filósofo apelando a una división de su mente entre el sentido común y una segunda agencia que está destinada a sobrepasarlo. Dicha esquizofrenia de la filosofía sería la única manera de entender su tarea recurrente de trazar de manera segura los límites de nuestra comprensión cotidiana del mundo.
Implicações do modelo de ocupação da fronteira agrícola à agricultura familiar em Terra Nova do Norte e Nova Guarita, Amazônia mato-grossense
Authors: Weihs Marla , Lopes Francis Junior Araújo , Cardoso Sara Mineli Caioni , Camargo Anderson De Carvalho , Silva Fernanda Oliveira , Ruedell Carolina Michels
Published: August 2020

Este estudo objetiva compreender as dificuldades geradas pelo modelo de ocupação de uma fronteira agrícola da Amazônia brasileira e as estratégias usadas pelos agricultores familiares para superá-las. Os dados foram coletados por meio da realização de 20 grupos focais, associados à construção de linhas do tempo. Os desafios enfrentados pelos agricultores, durante a fase de ocupação agrícola do território, são similares aos vividos pelos milhares de brasileiros que migraram para a Amazônia em busca de terra e da reprodução social de suas famílias na agricultura. A exceção está na ocupação ilegítima de uma área de reserva legal coletiva, a qual gera restrições de acesso ao crédito rural, dadas as irregularidades fundiária e ambiental. Novas iniciativas de desenvolvimento emergem dos aprendizados assimilados durante as fases de crise e de reestabelecimento do setor da agricultura familiar na região.

Published: August 2020

Objective: To examine the relationship between Breast Cancer Screening (BCS) and Moderate Psychological Distress (MPD). Also, to assess the effect of aggregating women with No Psychological Distress (NPD) and MPD into one group, as done in prior studies when evaluating the relationship between BCS and Psychological Distress (PD).Methods: The study population comprised of 34,565 women aged 50-74 years who participated in the National Health Interview Survey from 2013 to 2017. The Kessler-6 PD index score (0-24) was dichotomized (0-12: NPD; > 13: Severe Psychological Distress SPD) and trichotomized (0-5: NPD; 5-12: MPD; > 13 SPD). Two multivariate logistic regressions were conducted for the dichotomous and trichotomous PD categories. Andersen’s Behavioral Model of Health Services Use guided the choice of covariates. Data analysis was conducted using SAS version 9.4.Results: Our study showed 4.6% had SPD, and 17.9% had MPD. The latter group (MPD) was included in the NPD group in the dichotomous analysis. In the dichotomous analysis, women with SPD (adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.63, 0.81, p < .00001) were less likely to have received a mammogram than those with NPD. In the trichotomous model, women with SPD (aOR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.67, 0.87, p = .0001) and MPD (aOR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.78, 0.91, p <.00001) were both less likely to have had a mammogram than those with NPD.Conclusions: Prior studies that included individuals with MPD among those with NPD overestimated the effect of SPD on mammography and minimized the importance of targeting women with MPD along with those that have SPD to enhance the uptake of mammography.

OBJECTIVE: Quality of life is a person's self-perception of the enjoyment and satisfaction of life. Health related quality of life (HRQOL) is multidimensional, which is the individual's perception of the impact of a person's health. Data from US News shows the quality of life of Indonesia is ranked at 40 from the 80 countries in the survey. The quality of life of children can be influenced by factors such as foster patterns, immunization status, breast feeding, no smoking area, and safe water. This research aims to determine the influence of exclusive feeding, immunization, foster patterns, no smoking are, and safe water to the health status and quality of life of children.

METHOD: This research is a quantitative observational study with a research design of retrospective cohort studies. Population of this study is all toddlers aged 2-4 years old who reside in the village worthy of children (exposed groups) and ordinary villages (unexposed groups) in the region of Sleman regency. The large sample in this study was 350 respondents with multistage random sampling data retrieval techniques.

FINDINGS: The quality of life of the children was directly affected by health status (b=0.006; SE=0.054; p<0.001), foster pattern (b=0.079; SE=0.055; p<0.001), and safe water (b=0.004; SE=0.145; p<0.001). Health status was affected by exclusive breast feeding, foster pattern, and safe water. Foster pattern was affected by safe water (b=0.056).

CONCLUSION: The quality of life of the children is directly affected by health status, foster patterns, and safe water. The quality of life is indirectly affected by exclusive breast feeding.
Does the Dogs of the Dow Theory Work at the Sectoral Level?
Authors: Kim Doh-Khul , Nguyen Michelle , Arbet Kyle
Published: August 2020

One of popular theories in technical analysis is the Dogs of the Dow (DoD) theory. According to this strategy, the average market can be outperformed using 30 firms of Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) index. Since DoD was introduced, there have been numerous studies on the validity of the theory. However, only contradicting results have been found, so the research has produced no robust consensus on the theory. In addition, most of the research was performed using aggregate stock market data. The purpose of our research is to determine whether the DoD theory is valid at the sectoral level. We find that returns of top 5 highest dividend-yield firms are higher than average return of each sector. However, the additional returns of those 5 firms are not meaningful enough if we take into account tax on profits and trading costs, which does not validate the DoD theory at the sectoral level.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability across the world. With the development of new modalities of treatment, including the use of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator and mechanical thrombectomy, clinical outcomes have improved in patients with acute ischemic strokes. However, these interventions are time dependent, and there exists a great disparity between the rural and urban parts of the world in terms of the availability of neurologists and these lifesaving treatment options. Telestroke networks utilize digital technology for two-way, high-resolution video teleconferencing to help abate these disparities by bringing safe, efficient, and cost-effective care to underserved communities in the United States and around the world.
The Evolving Interplay between Social Media and International Health Security: A Point of View
Authors: Conti Keith , Desai Shania , P. Stawicki Stanislaw , J. Papadimos Thomas
Published: August 2020

Human communication and interaction had been rapidly evolving with the advent and continuing influence of social media (SM) thereby accelerating information exchange and increasing global connectivity. Despite clear advantages, this new technology can present unintended consequences including medical misinformation and “fake news.” Although International Health Security (IHS) stands to benefit tremendously from various SM platforms, high-level decision-makers and other stakeholders must also be aware of the dangers related to its intentional and unintentional misuse (and abuse). An overview of SM utility in fighting disease, disseminating life-saving information, and organizing people and teams in a constructive fashion is discussed herein. The potential negatives associated with SM misuse, including intentional and unintentional misinformation, as well as the ability to organize people in a disruptive fashion, will also be presented. Our treatise will additionally outline how deliberate misinformation may lead to harmful behaviors, public health panics, and orchestrated patterns of distrust. In terms of both its affirmative and destructive considerations, SM can be viewed as an asymmetric influencing force, with observed effects (whether beneficial or harmful) being disproportionately greater than the cost of the intervention.
Electrical Endurance of Corona-Resistant Polyimide for Electrical Traction
Authors: Han Tao , Cavallini Andrea
Published: August 2020

This paper shows the behavior of several dielectric properties of corona-resistant polyimide tapes as a function of thermal (high temperatures) and ambient stress (high humidity coupled with high temperature). The main goal of the investigation is to understand and explain the evolution of the partial discharge endurance of the tapes as a function of nonelectrical aging. The results indicate that polyimide tapes are very stable up to temperatures of 320°C. However, the most elevated temperatures reduce the partial discharge endurance to 50% of the original value. This is probably due to morphological changes in the (outer) nanostructured layers of the tapes.
Multi-Agent Implementation of Filtering Multiset Grammars
Authors: Sheremet Igor
Published: August 2020

Chapter is dedicated to the application of multi-agent technology to generation of sets of terminal multisets (TMS) defined by filtering multiset grammars (FMG). Proposed approach is based on creation of multi-agent system (MAS), corresponding to specific FMG in such a way, that every rule of FMG is represented by independently acting agent. Such MAS provides high-parallel generation of TMS and may be effectively used in any proper hardware environment. Directions of further development of the proposed approach are discussed.

The current moment requires the development of new technologies that can provide alternatives to conventional treatment and that efficiently remove pollutants that are difficult to treat. Activated carbon has been highlighted as low cost material that can be used as adsorbents for the removal of contaminants. Thus, the aim of the present study was to analyse the relevant literature related to the production of activated carbon for the treatment of water. For the study, there were found 4,182 relevant studies in the database of the Web of Science and from these restrictions and readings were obtained 27 articles. The information obtained was: i - temporal evolution of publications, ii - distribution of articles by periodicals, iii - spatial distribution, iv - precursor material, v - activation technology, vi - pollutants and vii - treatment efficiency. Results show that the activated carbon produced from corn and industrial ash residues are good adsorbents. Dyes, heavy metals and phenols were the most studied pollutants, and had the higher treatment efficiency values. The approach of the present study allows to identify the main points of this new technology and it helps to support new researches and applications

Published: August 2020

Liquid effluent generation in industrial plants is associated with production processes and employees. Based on the current legislation, these effluents must be subjected to treatment processes in order to be discharged at acceptable levels in receiving waterbodies. The company evaluated in the current study manufactures household and industrial tools and instruments; thus, the aim of the current study is to assess the activated sludge-based effluent treatment system adopted by it. Microscopic analyses of microfauna and biological floc structure, as well as sludge physicochemical and sedimentability analyses, were carried out. The sludge was classified as Pin-Point. Although Arcella sp. prevalence has given sludge a satisfactory clearance feature, the presence of Aspidisca sp. and Trachelophyllum sp. in it has indicated nitrification process and significantly old sludge, respectively. These features combined to low protozoan diversity and lack of micrometazoa have evidenced that sludge quality can be improved. Moreover, sludge overall presented poor settleability. Finally, improvements in the activated sludge system were suggested based on results observed in the current study.

Published: August 2020

The aims were to reduce composting time, to evaluate the application of produced composts and to size two composting yards (conventional and potentiated). Eight compost heaps with 400 kg of food industry or urban organic waste were built: 1) control; 2) facilitated aeration; 3) potentiated with facilitated aeration and chemical fertilizer; and 4) chemical fertilizer. The analyzed parameters were pH, temperature, humidity and C/N ratio. Compost heap reached stabilization at 90 days without chemical fertilizer and at 25 days when potentiated, regardless of the waste origin. Stabilized composts were applied to lettuce crop under natural conditions and compared with commercial compost. Composts with chemical fertilizer were the most effective in enabling lettuce seedling growth. For medium-sized cities, the conventional composting yard requires 6.58 ha, whereas the potentiated composting yard requires 1.69 ha, considering the recorded stabilization time of 90 and 25 days, respectively. The potentiated composting was the most efficient because its shorter stabilization time, did not require manual turning and produced compost with higher nutrient content. Besides that, requires an area 74.32% smaller than the conventional yard, fact that enables using this process to treat industrial and urban solid organic waste.

Published: August 2020

Aloysia hatschbachii is an endangered species that occurs endemically in Paraná and has potential for essential oil production. Expanding research on threatened species could serve as a tool to ensure their conservation, management and reproduction. In this study, we sought to evaluate phenological phases (phenophases) for species Aloysia hatschbachii in the years 2018 and 2019 by conducting monthly checks of a plant population consisting of 5 individuals, identifying the phenological events  of budding, mature leaves, flowering, fruiting, leaf senescence and leaf fall, using the percent index of intensity as well as the index of activity in the sampled individuals regarding the occurrence of such phenomena, and then correlating phenological data with meteorological variables. The phenological phases showed synchrony in activity throughout most of the assessed period, but were not always synchronous in intensity. Budding occurred between July and April, and mature leaves were present all year round. The patterns of leaf senescence and leaf fall revealed that the species has nondeciduous characteristics. These phenophases were influenced by relative air humidity. Flowering occurred between November and April, while fruiting lasted from December to May, with the reproductive stage being influenced by air temperature and by incident solar radiation.
Can Brazil produce enough rice to meet demand in 2028?

Published: August 2020

The objectives of the study were estimate the additional yield that may be achieved by reducing the yield gap in actual rice area, evaluate if irrigated rice production meet future demand for rice without increase area and determine sowing date that allows maximum yield potential. The yield gap (Yg) was determined by the difference between yield potential (Yp) and actual yield (Ya). The Ya was obtained from surveys applied to the rice producers. The Ya was 51% of Yp, and the Yg was 49%. In a scenario of high demand, if the yields follow the historical rate of gain, the production should not be sufficient to meet projected demand without 6% expansion of the currently cultivated area, whereas for a scenario of low demand it should be sufficient. Moreover, for the low and high demand scenarios, if the national average yield reaches 80% of the rice Yp, a reduction until 29% in the current irrigated rice area can occur. Sowing between September and mid-November is a way of making it possible to obtain yields close to 80% of Yp without increasing production costs. This study can be used as an aid in the search for world food security.
Variation of Chironomidae (Insecta: Diptera) trophic guilds and their relation with trophic state in reservoirs in the semiarid

Published: August 2020

The Chironomidae larvae are sensitive to variations in aquatic ecosystem conditions. We aim to analyze the variation of Chironomidae trophic guilds and their relation to the trophic state index in reservoirs in the semiarid. The study was conducted from 66 sites, distributed in the littoral zone of three reservoirs of Piranhas-Assu river, during June and December of 2014. The larvae were collected, and after identification, were classified in functional trophic groups. We applied the Trophic Status Index of Carlson, modified by Toledo for trophic classification. Sabugí reservoir was the only classified as mesotrophic (52,60±3,64) in June, where the greatest levels of diversity also occurred in the trophic guilds: gatherer-gollector (9 genera), predator (6 genera) and filterer-collector (1 genus). Higher levels of eutrophication occurred in Passagem das Traíras reservoir (84,99±6,19), the same with the smallest diversity in the guilds: gatherer-collector (3 genera) and 1 genus in the other categories. The variation of trophic guilds has been associated with trophy levels, because higher levels of degradation eliminate sensitive species, reducing the number of taxa. Thus, the Chironomidae trophic guilds demonstrate potential capacity for indicating the degree of impact to which the reservoirs are submitted.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo mostrar que, em alguma medida, os conhecimentos de Filosofia preconizados nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN) para o Ensino Médio estão, igualmente, presentes no Programa Filosofia para Crianças – Educação para o Pensar, de Matthew Lipman. Pretende-se, para tanto, apresentar brevemente cada uma das competências e habilidades atribuídas à Filosofia como disciplina nos PCN, correlacionando-as com passagens de obras lipmanianas. Em tempos em que a presença da Filosofia na escola e nas demais esferas da vida é continuamente aviltada, as linhas que compõem este texto constituem-se como um módico aporte para pensarmos: por que furtar crianças e adolescentes de um ensino dialógico, significativo, contextualizado, crítico e que pretende fomentar a autonomia do pensar?
Network Unavailable
Authors: Lee Wing Ki
Published: August 2020

This paper problematizes assumptions of global all-pervading ‘available’ network culture by examining ‘network unavailability’ phenomenon in contemporary Chinese network culture through a post-colonial critique. The central argument of ‘network unavailable’ in China is contextualized by the performativity of the Great Firewall and the Golden Shield Project, Chinese media artist Fei Jun’s net art project Interesting World (2019) in the Venice Biennale and network happenings during the 2019 Anti-extradition Law Amendment Bill protests in Hong Kong. Through these examples the author argues that network culture in China is political and geopolitical and the discussion of networks should go beyond mere structuralism and emphasize the everyday life, tactical, and microscopic decision-making process.

This essay seeks a detailed and intimate understanding of the presence of Barcelona as Guest of Honour at the 45thBuenos Aires Book Fair. In so doing, I focus on the stand of Barcelona at the Buenos Aires Book Fair for arguing that exhibition units create the conditions for telling particular stories about national/local literatures to a broad and foreign audience. Moreover, building bridges between existing lines of research and informed by ongoing debates in the field, this paper aims to highlight the entanglements between politics and tourism, “pure” literature and marketplace imperatives. Everything analysed, however, through cultural products and exhibition spaces.

The Portland Book Festival, originally known as “Wordstock,” is the main annual literary event in Portland, Oregon. It is also an increasingly prominent literary festival in the United States. The branding shift from “Wordstock” to “Portland Book Festival” in 2018 unearths key tensions, hierarchies, subversions, and cultural changes in the communicative and social functions of the Festival. The essay identifiestransactionalandtransformativeaspects of the Festival. Bank of America’s festival-naming “title” sponsorship, the partnership of cultural heritage organizations, and Portland place branding offertransactionalstability for the Festival, where parties give and get in kind. The Festival’s temporary affective bonds and their social media documentation facilitatetransformationalexperiences that reinscribe hierarchies of centre/periphery. The name change fosters a more democratic and accessible festival experience. This article takes a multimethod approach, triangulating sentiment analysis of tweets from the 2017 and 2018 Festivals, a survey of 2018 Portland Book Festival attendees, and interviews with prominent stakeholders in the Festival rebranding.
Translation Jousts and Translation Genres
Authors: Snyder Maria
Published: August 2020

The Quais du polar book festival in Lyon is more than a site of commerce. Instead, the category of the polar, which brings together the mystery and roman noir, reveals the potential to destabilize literary hierarchies, foreground translation, and transform the role of place in a globalized genre. Using the insights of Lawrence Venuti, Benoît Tadié and Luc Boltanski, this essay examines how, within the polar category and in the context of the festival, foreignizing translations may upend linguistic and cultural hierarchies and transform genre categories. The communal and local experience of festivals events, its rewriting of southern American authors, and its reframing of the role of readers and translators all reveal the transformative potential of the polar and its cultural reception.
The Class of 1838
Authors: Riddell Allen , Bassett Troy J.
Published: August 2020

Following the work of Raymond Williams, this article examines the 81 fiction authors published in 1838. First, we examined the social origins of the authors as judged by their fathers’ occupations. Whereas the majority of adults living in the British Isles during this period were working class, the majority of the Class of 1838 originated in the upper classes. Second, we traced their careers by finding their ages at first published novel, their total novels, and the span of their careers. Though no significant differences were found between the careers of men and women authors, there was a general lack of persistence to write a second novel. And last, we inspected the title pages of the 87 published works of fiction in 1838 to investigate the ways in which authors presented themselves to readers. Contrary to expectations, men authors were more likely than women authors to conceal their identities.
Les éditeurs émergents en Belgique francophone
Authors: Wiart Louis
Published: August 2020

Cet article rend compte d’une recherche socioéconomique qui porte sur les maisons d’édition belges francophones créées entre 2005 et 2015. Trente entretiens semi-directifs ont été réalisés auprès d’éditeurs et de représentants d’organismes professionnels et d’institutions publiques. L’objectif est d’analyser la situation des éditeurs émergents et de comprendre les démarches éditoriales, les types de fonctionnement, les modes d’organisation de la production et de la commercialisation, au regard d’un contexte de polarisation accentuée de la filière du livre en Belgique. Si l’étude souligne la prégnance de traits propres à la petite édition (positionnements spécialisés, modèles structurels simples appuyés par des moyens limités, fragilité économique, etc.), elle permet également de caractériser les conditions dans lesquelles des formes plus industrielles d’édition voient le jour. Dans cette perspective, nous montrons comment, dans un contexte d’interpénétration globale des marchés du livre de langue française, les éditeurs émergents de Belgique se partagent entre stratégies d’assise locale et développement international.
Interior Design Teaching Methodology During the Global COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Ahmad Lina , Sosa Marco , Musfy Karim
Published: August 2020

In March 2020, the World Health Organization officially announced the COVID-19 outbreak as a global Pandemic (WHO, 2020). During this time, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) introduced national preventative measures to slow the spread of the deadly virus by announcing the closure of schools and higher education institutions, and the commitment of online learning. Teaching faculty at the College of Arts and Creative Enterprises (CACE) at Zayed University were suddenly facing the challenge of teaching design through a distance learning approach. As educators of interior design, the authors were part of the team tasked to find ways to teach design without physical contact with the students nor access to campus facilities traditionally used to run the program and its associated courses. This paper charts the pedagogy approach that the authors adopted as a response to the national lockdown. As design faculty, the authors felt that, despite the restrictions imposed on society because of COVID-19 pandemic, it was still possible to explore other alternatives for a particular course, the senior capstone project. The main intention was to successfully fulfil the course learning outcomes and provide students with a suitable pedagogy continuity to the learning process commenced prior to the lockdown.
Epistemological violence, essentialization dan tantangan etik dalam penelitian psikologi sosial
Authors: Madyaningrum Monica Eviandaru
Published: August 2020

Tulisan ini hendak membahas persoalan etik dalam penelitian psikologi sosial di Indonesia, yang sejauh ini masih jarang dikaji. Secara khusus, tulisan ini dibangun dengan mengacu pada konsep epistemological violence. Merujuk pada konsep tersebut, penulis berargumen bahwa penelitian psikologi sosial di Indonesia memiliki risiko etis untuk mereproduksi kekerasan epistemologis melalui penggunaan cara pandang yang bersifat essentializing. Mengacu pada argumen ini, penulis mengajukan dua rekomendasi. Pertama, pada tataran personal, penulis memandang pentingnya mengembangkan refleksivitas sebagai sarana untuk mengasah kepekaan etis peneliti. Kedua, terkait dengan peran asosisasi psikologi sosial, penulis berpendapat tentang perlunya asosiasi untuk mendorong diskursus yang lebih kritis tentang etik penelitian dalam studi-studi psikologi sosial di Indonesia.
Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) method: Introduction and its potential use for social psychology research
Authors: Liem Andrian , Hall Brian J.
Published: August 2020

Contrary to other non-probability sampling methods in which researchers actively recruit potential participants, respondent-driven sampling (RDS) relies on connection and trust within social networks to access hidden or hard-to-reach populations through a peer-to-peer recruitment process. These interdependency relations aligned with Indonesian communal culture. Personal network size calculation in the RDS method makes this innovative sampling method approximate random sampling methods, where findings from the sample could be generalized to the target population. Considering its superiority, the RDS method could be applied in social psychology research in Indonesia to explore current sensitive social issues among hidden or hard-to-reach Indonesian sub-populations, for instance, radical religious groups. The current article aimed to concisely describe the RDS method; discuss ethical considerations, strengths, and weaknesses of the RDS method; and outline the potential use of the RDS method in improving the contribution of social psychology research in Indonesia, for example, by advancing strategies for social intervention programs. It is followed by a brief step-by-step process to conduct a study using the RDS method.

Stigma negatif terhadap orang yang hidup dengan HIV/AIDS (ODHA) memunculkan suatu prasangka yang berujung pada penolakan untuk berinteraksi ataupun melakukan diskriminasi. Beberapa penelitian membuktikan bahwa prasangka terhadap ODHA dapat menurun dengan memberikan intervensi melalui beberapa jenis media komunikasi seperti gambar dan video. Hanya saja, penelitian sebelumnya lebih menekankan pada prasangka yang bersifat eksplisit (sadar) yang sangat dipengaruhi oleh tuntutan sosial. Di sisi lain, pada dasarnya prasangka tidak hanya bersifat eksplisit, tetapi juga bersifat implisit (spontan). Dua eksperimen dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk melihat pengaruh jenis media komunikasi—berupa gambar dan video—pada perubahan prasangka implisit mahasiswa terhadap ODHA. Subjek merupakan mahasiswa aktif yang dipilih dengan menggunakan teknik sampel acak berstrata berdasarkan tingkatan tahun. Pendekatan penelitian adalah pre-post experimental design dengan menggunakan pengukuran prasangka implisit yaitu Implicit Association Test (IAT). Analisis data dilakukan dengan melakukan uji beda terhadap skor IAT yang diperoleh. Hasil analisa menunjukan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan skor IAT antara sebelum dan setelah perlakukan. Berdasarkan data dapat disimpulkan jenis media komunikasi berupa gambar dan video tidak mengubah prasangka implisit terhadap ODHA.

Usaha adaptasi alat ukur multikulturalisme menjadi penting karena terdapat perbedaan dalam persepsi multikulturalisme di negara-negara barat dan Indonesia. Jika multikulturalisme di negara-negara barat lebih merujuk pada perbedaan warna kulit, di Indonesia multikulturalisme dapat dikatakan lebih dinamis, yaitu merujuk pada perbedaan suku. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan adanya alat ukur yang dapat digunakan untuk mengukur konstruk multikulturalisme. Penelitian ini dilakukan demi tujuan tersebut, dengan cara mengadaptasi alat ukur Munroe Multicultural Attitude Scale Questionnaire (MASQUE). Pemilihan MASQUE sebagai alat ukur yang diadaptasi karena MASQUE dapat mengukur sikap terhadap multikulturalisme pada sampel yang lebih luas. Adaptasi MASQUE dilakukan melalui tahap penerjemahan, penerjemahan ulang, pengujian validitas, serta pengujian reliabilitas. Pengujian validitas alat ukur MASQUE versi Indonesia dilakukan menggunakan Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), sedangkan pengujian reliabilitas alat ukur dilakukan dengan menggunakan Cronbach-Alpha. Hasil adaptasi alat ukur yang diuji pada 1393 responden menunjukkan bahwa tiga dimensi (pengetahuan, tindakan, dan kepedulian) dalam kuesioner ini reliabel, tetapi memiliki validitas konstruk yang kurang baik. Kesimpulannya, alat ukur ini dapat digunakan untuk mengukur multikulturalisme di Indonesia, dengan catatan menghapus beberapa item alat ukur asli yang sulit dipahami dalam konteks Indonesia.

Knowledge on the precise identification of fish resources is critical for sustainable fisheries management. This study employs the DNA barcoding approach to generate a molecular taxonomic catalogue of commercially important reef fishes in the waters of Weh Island (Aceh Province), the most northerly inhabited island in the biodiverse Indonesian Archipelago. The waters not only support artisanal fisheries but also a feeder for the industry in the greater island of Aceh. In total, 230 specimens from 72 species belonging to 32 genera and 17 families were DNA barcoded, representing a major segment of the captured reef fish taxa and a quarter of fish species diversity that had previously been recorded. The sequence read lengths were 639 bp revealing 359 conserved sites, 280 variable sites, 269 parsimony informative and 11 singletons. Our molecular findings paralleled the morphological identification with no evidence of cryptic species or new species discovery. This study is a significant contribution to the fisheries statistics of this area, which would facilitate assessment of species catch composition and hence for strategizing management plans. It is an important input to the DNA barcode library of Indonesian marine fishes and to the global DNA barcode entries in general.

Este trabalho pretendeu despender um olhar científico sobre o coworking, um espaço de trabalho compartilhado por profissionais independentes e remotos. Trata-se de um fenômeno crescente em várias cidades e diferentes nações, porém novo para a ciência (Spinuzzi, 2012; Capdevila, 2014a & 2014b; Gerdenitsch, Sheel, Andorfer e Korunka (2016). Neste contexto, foi desenvolvido um estudo com abordagem quali-quantitativo, e descritivo bibliográfico, por meio de revisão sistemática, em que a bibliometria foi utilizada para análise de dados. Neste levantamento, a maioria das obras localizadas foi de origem europeia, com abordagem qualitativa e natureza exploratória e descritiva. Em relação aos conceitos, teorias e resultados, diversos dados foram observados entre os estudos selecionados, como, por exemplo, o enfoque das pesquisas e a questão da necessidade das pessoas que utilizam os espaços coworking (social, econômica ou profissional). Foi oferecida atenção a esse quesito em todos os estudos localizados nesta busca, seja a necessidade em aspecto social, econômico ou profissional. Sobre a possível relação entre secretariado executivo e coworking, percebem-se pontos comuns na literatura dos temas. Para as possíveis dificuldades relacionadas à rotina do secretário remoto, os espaços coworking podem proporcionar as soluções. Sugere-se, para pesquisas futuras, estudo referente à produtividade dos usuários do coworking e investigação referente à questão da sustentabilidade financeira desses lugares.

Functional, antinutritional, antioxidant and elemental compositions of full-fat sample (FFS) and defatted sample (DFS) Mucuna sloanei (Ukpo) seed were investigated using standard analytical techniques. The results of functional properties (%) in full fat and defatted seed flours were as follows; foaming capacity (6.00 ± 0.04 and 30.30 ± 0.15), foaming stability (1.10 ± 0.00 and 24.00 ± 0.20), water absorption capacity (50.00 ± 0.05 and 70.00 ± 0.05), oil absorption capacity (19.50 ± 0.50 and 21.75 ± 0.15), emulsion capacity (41.58 ± 0.14 and 44.12 ± 0.08), emulsion stability (39.61 ± 0.23 and 34.31 ± 0.11), least gelation concentration (0.03 ± 0.00 and 0.10 ± 0.00) g/cm3 and bulk density (0.77 ± 0.01 and 0.91 ± 0.00) g/cm3 respectively. The antinutrient analysis of full fat and defatted seed flours in mg/g showed glycoside with the highest value to be (23.60 ± 0.13 and 41.18 ± 0.05), phytic acid (20.15 ± 0.07 and 13.15 ± 0.07), oxalate (7.11 ± 0.02 and 0.47 ± 0.12), phytin P (5.68 ± 0.38 and 3.70 ± 0.14) and tannins (0.37 ± 0.01 and 0.47 ± 0.02). Potassium was found to give higher values in the two samples with defatted sample having the highest value. The antioxidant analysis of the full fat and defatted seed flours showed DPPH to be (33.08 ± 0.06 and 35.13 ± 0.03) %, FRAP (48.93 ± 0.11 and 49.03 ± 0.08) mg/g, phenol (4.16 ± 0.07 and 5.28 ± 0.06) % and flavonoid (8.28 ± 0.00 and 3.68 ± 0.10) % respectively. From this nutritional assessment, defatted seed flour of M. sloanei could be described as a good food that can be used to supplement the existing food table in the fight against protein - malnutrition syndrome among the developing countries of the world.

Aims: To study the effect different packaging materials on shelf-life and quality of blended fruit leather.

Place of Study: The present investigation was carried out at the Department of Post-Harvest Technology and Agri. Engineering, Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR), Bengaluru.

Methodology: Guava variety ‘Allahabad Safeda’ and papaya variety ‘Taiwan Red Lady’ fruit leathers were prepared by blending their pulp at different ratios of 100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 20:80 and 0:100 respectively. Citric acid at 0.3% and KMS (Potassium meta-bisulphite) at 600 ppm was added to the blended pulp and TSS was adjusted to 20°B. The pulp according to treatments were then dried in a cabinet drier at 55 to 60°C till the desired moisture content (approx. 15%) was achieved.

Results: Blended guava-papaya (40:60) leather was found best among the treatments in terms of better nutritional and sensory characteristics at initial and also during the subsequent storage periods. The prepared fruit leathers that were packed in biaxially oriented polypropylene showed better results with better nutrient retention (ascorbic acid 90.1 mg/100 g and carotenoids 947.2 µg/100 g) and higher organoleptic score (70.03 overall acceptability out of 100) to those packed in punnets (ascorbic acid 73.2 mg/100 g, and carotenoids 893.0 µg/100 g) during the storage period of 4 months. The microbial examination also revealed that all the samples were found to be safe from the consumption point of view till the end of four months of storage. 

Conclusion: The blended fruit leather can be a good source of various heath promoting phytochemical nutrients with a unique taste and acceptability having a storage stability for safe consumption till 4 months.
