COVID-19 VACCINE STRATEGIES IN INDONESIA AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH NATIONAL RESILIENCE
Authors: Prabowo Nurhasan Agung , Hartono  , Suwandono Adji
Published: November 2022

National defence cannot be separated from the spectrum of threats faced by both military and non-military as well as the efforts made to overcome them. In line with that, national resilience is defined as the resilience of the nation and state in facing multidimensional challenges in planning its national interests. In general, the eight elements that support the achievement of Indonesia's national resilience are described in the Astagatra of National Resilience, which include aspects of geography, natural wealth, demography, ideology, politics, economy, socio-culture, defence, and security. Indonesia's national defence faces internal and external challenges; The current challenge is the Corona Virus Disease 19 (Covid-19) pandemic. Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit Indonesia, the government has continued to look for the most appropriate solution to reduce and break the chain of transmission of COVID-19, one of which is the provision of the COVID-19 Vaccine. This makes the government need to prepare a financing strategy for the procurement of COVID-19 vaccines. This study examines the Financing and Procurement of the COVID19 Vaccine in Indonesia. Researchers use library designs or research from several sources such as articles, news, regulations, official websites, and others located in Indonesia. The results of the study show that the Government of Indonesia must be prepared to finance the COVID-19 vaccine for as many as 182 million people, which is 70% of the total population. The government stipulates that funding for the COVID-19 vaccine procurement will be sourced from the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget and the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget. Based on the above context, this paper examines how the pandemic triggers the threat of food scarcity in Indonesia in a narrow sense and challenges the achievement of national security in a broad sense. This paper uses the Astagatra approach model to see how the Government of Indonesia responds to Covid-19 these challenges.
Punggawa authority and its Sawi compliance during the Covid-19 Pandemic (Case study on Beba Fishing Community, Takalar Regency)

Published: November 2022

The beating of fishermen due to the Covid-19 pandemic does not necessarily damage the Punggawa-Sawi relationship in Beba, Takalar Regency. The obedience of the Sawi people in choosing to stay with the Punggawa must be photographed from a different angle. This relationship can no longer be seen as a relationship of material interests, such as wages. The reason is, the acquisition of material in their relationship in the midst of the pandemic has also fallen sharply. This study aims to identify Punggawa authority and Sawi compliance that can still exist despite being hit by the Covid-19 pandemic and unfavourable conditions. This study uses a qualitative method with case study analysis. Data sources are divided into two categories, namely primary and secondary sources. Data was collected by using in-depth interviews, observation and documentation techniques. Specifically and tactically, the data analysis technique was carried out following the Miles and Huberman model by reducing data, presenting data and drawing conclusions. The results of this study indicate that the Punggawa authority which is woven into the Punggawa-Sawi relationship in Beba is obtained traditionally. They are not bound by a set of officially announced rules. Sawi's obedience to the retainer was not solely due to material interests. However, their obedience is based more on the characterization of Punggawa because of his generosity and the existence of a familial or kinship relationship between Punggawa and Sawi. This condition makes the relationship between Punggawa and Sawi very close so that it does not waver even in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Authors: Masriah Andi
Published: November 2022

One effort to reduce the role of protein as an energy source in feed is to maximize the use of feed carbohydrates as an energy source and engineering optimization of feed utilization can be done by adding exogenous digestive enzymes to feed. This study aims to determine the level of carbohydrates in the feed after being given cow rumen liquid which gives the best growth response and hepatosomatic index in milkfish. This study was designed using a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and 3 replications, Thus, there are 12 experimental units. The treatments were feeding with different levels of carbohydrate feed, namely 27,81; 39,50; 46,97 and 56,75% mixed with 80 mL of rumen liquid per 100 g of feed. Feed was given to juvenile milkfish measuring 7.19±0,036 g which was kept in a recirculating aquarium with a density of 15 fish/45 L of brackish water. The provision of various levels of carbohydrates in the feed had an effect (α<0.05) on relative growth and survival but had no effect (α>0.05) on the hepatosomatic index of milkfish. Statistically, the best relative growth response and survival were found in fish fed with a carbohydrate-level feed treatment of 27,81; 39,50; 46,97%.

The COVID-19 pandemic appeared in late 2019 and became a major health concern with rapid transmission and very high mortality rates across the globe. Although precautionary, preventive, protective and therapeutic measures have been adopted against COVID-19, still the disease has drastically affected people. In order to overcome the challenges of the pandemic, the understanding of the route of transmission, its fusion with receptors and invasion into the human body and hacking the immune system, the viral genome was sequenced. The viral genome keeps on mutating and altering its original form into its subtypes. Moreover, age and comorbid conditions had their impact on developing the disease differing from individual to individual due to interaction varying between the host genome and virus. Considering the pathogenesis of the virus, neutralizing antibodies reduced the viral impact and severity. This review is focused on highlighting the COVID-19 genome, host genetic factors, the pathogenesis of the disease and available therapeutic measures to overcome the pandemic.
Renal neoplasms and computed tomography
Authors: Hajra Idrees, MBBS , Raza Zarrar, MBBS, MD , Bilal Mujtaba, MD
Published: November 2022

Introduction: In recent years the increased utilization of imaging modalities has led to an accelerated diagnosis of renal masses. Initial diagnoses and staging are commonly done with the abdominal Computed Tomography (CT). This study evaluates the various aspects to consider when utilizing CT scan for the diagnosis of renal masses. Discussion: CT scan is the most important imaging modality to evaluate renal neoplasms. Postcontrast acquisitions can be tailored according to the indication for the study. This alongside various techniques, imaging modalities and classification systems may help differentiate the malignant Renal Cell Carcinoma, from benign or metastatic lesions, lymphomas or renal pseudotumor. Finally CT can also be utilized alongside other tools for staging the tumor. Conclusion: Certain CT imaging features are pertinent to evaluate the malignancy potential of renal lesions. However the CT alone may be inconclusive in diagnosing the majority of renal neoplasms, excluding AML with macroscopic fat. Hence it is recommended that the CT aid additional imaging modalities and tools to reach an accurate diagnosis.
Wireless CCTV, a workable tool for overcoming security challenges during elections in Nigeria
Authors: Obinna Ogbonnia Otuu
Published: November 2022

There have been upheavals in areas where elections have been conducted lately in Nigeria. The latest being in Ekiti and Osun States where there were cases of ballot box snatching, electoral result fraud, sporadic shootings and killings which call for electoral security carefulness and concern. The government of the day has done well in trying to computerize the electoral process by introducing BVAS in all polling units, but has failed to implement a non-human monitoring mechanism which could watch over electoral conducts and support result collation in all voting points without loopholes, intricacies and injuries to members of the voting communities. Wireless Close Circuit Television (CCTV) is an electronic monitoring system that combines network Software and hardware subsystems which are installed with Wireless channels and other monitoring mechanisms to cover and record activities in a particular domain. Data recorded in this device are immediately transmitted from the remote database in real-time, to a cloud-based central server where all happenings and events are stored for future retrieval and decision making. This paper looked at various reports on security challenges and happenings in Nigerian elections for eight (8) years and recommended that all polling units in Nigeria should have a Wireless CCTV system installed before the 2023 presidential election, irrespective of the cost, instead of the always compromised human monitors. Data were gathered using the author’s lens as a Supervisory Presiding Officer (SPO) from 2011 to 2019, and from related literatures.
New fever and hyperthermia diagnosing methods
Authors: K. M. Yacob
Published: November 2022

Today, fever is diagnosed by looking at temperatures above 38o C (100.40 F). The same temperature is used to determine hyperthermia. A fever is not a high body temperature. High body temperature is hyperthermia. Don't call them fever. Patients with fever and low-temperature hypothermia are more likely to be assessed as hyperthermia when they lie unconscious in the sun and are re-warmed externally. The unconscious patient lying in the sun is brought to the nearest hospital. If only temperature is checked, hypothermia or fever cannot be identified. Heat is not a fever-causing substance. Heat is a fever reducer by increasing blood flow. It is fundamentally wrong to determine fever by looking at the presence of fever-reducing substances in the body. There is no similarity between what happens when there is a fever and what happens when there is hyperthermia, and they are contradictory There is no need to look at body temperature to detect fever. Temperature rise is not only in fever. Fever can be detected by measuring only the objects that occur only in the presence of fever and not in the absence of fever. The following 5 things to identify fever with the help of a test or machine without the help of the patient. 1. Who made the fever? 2. Are prostaglandins found in excess? 3. Are TNF alpha found in excess? 4. Does the firing rate of w neurons decrease even at higher temperatures? 5. Does the firing rate of C neurons increase with increasing temperature?
Overview on vitiligo and its treatment
Authors: Priya D Patwa  , Indira Parab
Published: November 2022

Vitiligo, is a skin disorder, in which the skin loses its pigment due to the loss of melanocytes. The exact cause is still under research but the disorder is linked to autoimmune disease, oxidative stress, genetics and environmental variables. The disease being progressive in nature often spreads all over the body. Globally, Vitiligo affects nearly about 0.5% to 1% of people. In 2012, the most recent and approved classification for Vitiligo was given at Vitiligo Global Issues Consensus Conference (VGICC). Understanding the biological mediators and molecular mechanisms that result in metabolic problems, melanocyte degradation, and autoimmunity is crucial in order to identify innovative therapy targets and drugs that may be able to stop the progression of the condition or even cure vitiligo. Treatment options range from oral antibiotics, topical immunosuppressants, melanocyte promoters, oral immunosuppressants, JAK kinase inhibitors, physical therapy, to surgical intervention. Systemic biological therapies that target cytokines have shown promising results in the treatment of diseases like vitiligo and psoriasis.
Two finger tests: Violation of right to privacy, physical and mental integrity and dignity
Authors: Tapan Kumar Mahato  , Sunil Kumar Ojha  , Vishwakarma Singh
Published: November 2022

On Monday, October 31, 2022, the Supreme Court of India outlawed the two-finger test, which is used to medically confirm rape. Doctors do this test by putting two fingers inside the victim's vagina to check for virginity. Girls and women who have never had physical contact are referred to as virgins. The virginity test is used to determine whether or not sexual activity has taken place. It is assumed that if two fingers can easily enter the vagina, the girl or woman is sexually active, which results in the virginity of the girl or woman. The Supreme Court (SC) noted that this makes it clear that it is never acceptable to rape a sexually active girl or woman. Additionally, SC claims that there is no scientific support for the idea of virginity and that it is rejected by science. This exam makes the girl or lady feel uncomfortable mentally and intensifies the trauma of the incident. SC urges the federal government to create and distribute guidelines to all states so they can discontinue the aforementioned test as soon as feasible through the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The SC directs medical colleges to take this material off their required reading lists. This article investigates the two finger test, how it's done, and how it infringes on a girl or woman's right to privacy, as well as their physical and mental integrity and dignity. Making a legislation will undoubtedly alter the current situation since everyone will be aware that doing tests like the two finger test is prohibited and that the government will take strict action to stop it.

What do Indonesians talk when they talk about COVID-19 Vaccine: A Topic Modeling Approach with LDA
Authors: Saputri Theresia Ratih Dewi , Lestari Caecilia Citra , Siahaan Salmon Charles
Published: November 2022

To end the COVID-19 pandemics, the government attempted to accelerate the vaccination through various programs and collaboration. Unfortunately, the number is still relatively small compared to the number of populations in Indonesia. There are some reasons attributed to this challenge, one of them being the reluctance of citizens to accept the COVID-19 vaccine due to various factors. Knowing this factor to increase public compliance, the vaccination program can be speed-up. Unfortunately, traditionally acquiring the knowledge related to COVID-19 vaccine rejection can be challenging.  One of the ways to capture the knowledge is by conducting a survey or interview related to COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. This method can be inefficient in terms of cost and resources. To address those problem, we propose a novel method for analyzing the topics related to the COVID-19 Indonesians’ opinions on Twitter by implementing topic modeling algorithm called Latent Dirichlet Allocation. We gathered more than 22000 tweets related to the COVID-19 vaccine. By applying the algorithm to the collected dataset, we can capture the what is general opinion and topic when people discuss about COVID-19 vaccine. The result was validated using the labeled dataset that have been gathered in the previous research. Once we have the important term, the strategy based on can be determined by the medical professional who are responsible to administer the COVID-19 vaccine.

Published: November 2022

Japan has many entertaining and unique artworks, especially its signature animation, called anime. Anime is an animation art that is unique in that the characterizations, characters, and storylines are made to resemble human life. The characters have 2 genders called male and female with unique visuals and are the characteristics of each anime character to entertain the audience. Training large-scale data and complex textures because not all of the anime images owned are of high quality, making classification by Machine Learning Algorithms low in accuracy. This study will describe an experiment using an anime face image dataset to classify the gender, namely male or female. From this problem, this research implements feature extraction to produce unique features of anime images with Gray-Level Cooccurrence Matrix (GLCM) and uses the Random Forest Classifier which is a classification algorithm in Machine Learning to classify gender. The results of this study get a good accuracy value of 95%, using 3,612 images where the test data used is 723 images and Homogeneity5 feature being the most relevant feature in increasing the accuracy value with a value of 0.06378389.

Published: November 2022

Social Media, in addition to having a positive impact on society, also has a negative effect. Based on statistics, 95 percent of internet users in Indonesia use the internet to access social networks. Especially for young people, Instagram is more widely used than other social media such as Twitter and Facebook. In terms of cyberbullying cases, cases often occur through social media, Twitter, and Instagram. Several methods are commonly used to analyze cyberbullying cases, such as SVM (Support Vector Machine), NBC (Naïve Bayes Classifier), C45, and K-Nearest Neighbors. Application of a number of these methods is generally implemented on Twitter social media. Meanwhile, young users currently use Instagram more social media than Twitter. For this reason, the research focuses on analyzing cyberbullying on Instagram by applying the K-Mean Clustering algorithm. This algorithm is used to classify cyberbullying actions contained in comments. The dataset used in this study was taken from 2019 to 2021 with 650 records; there were 1827 words and already had labels. This study has successfully classified the tested data with a threshold value of 0.5. The results for grouping words containing bullying on Instagram resulted in the highest accuracy, which is 67.38%, a precision value of 76.70%, and a recall value of 67.48%. These results indicate that the k-means algorithm can make a grouping of comments into two clusters: bullying and non-bullying.

Authors: Suwarsito Suwarsito , Mustafidah Hindayati , Pinandita Tito , Purnomo Purnomo
Published: November 2022

Indonesia is a maritime and agricultural country with enormous world fishery potential. The large variety of fish is often confusing for ordinary people in recognizing types of fish, especially freshwater fish. It was stated that the types of freshwater fish often consumed by the Indonesian people are bawal (pomfret), betutu, gabus (cork), gurame (carp), mas (goldfish), lele (catfish), mujaer (tilapia), patin (asian catfish), tawes, and nila (tilapia nilotica). Some fish types have similar shapes, so it is tricky to tell them apart. Meanwhile, in the digitalization era today, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based technology has become a demand in all areas of life. It is overgrowing, not apart from the fisheries sector. Therefore, in this study, the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) method was applied as one of the methods in AI to identify and classify freshwater fish species based on their images. The KNN method classifies new data into specific classes based on the distance between the new data and the closest k data through the learning process. This KNN model is built by preparing the dataset stages, separating the dataset into data-train and data-test with a ratio of 70%:30%, then building and testing the model. The dataset is freshwater fish images, totaling 100 images from 10 freshwater fish types. Model testing is done by measuring performance using a confusion matrix. Based on the test results, the model has an accuracy performance of 70%. Thus, KNN can be used as a model to identify freshwater fish species based on their image.

Authors: Nambiar Vivel , Koushik Kirthi , Alva Ram Charith
Published: November 2022

A total of 58 patients who underwent concurrent chemo-radiation for carcinoma cervix were analyzed for magnitude of variation in daily treatment position with two immobilization methods, and its impact on the dose delivered to the organs at risk. Assessment was done with the help electronic portal imaging devices (EPID). The main endpoints of the study were to quantify and compare the total isocentric displacement among the knee rest foot rest and thermoplastic cast groups, and to correlate the effect of isocentric displacement with dose volume changes. The EPIDs were compared with the DRR and set-up errors were noted in X (medio-lateral) Y (antero- posterior) and Z (cranio-caudal) axes. Any variations above the prescribed limits were corrected accordingly before treatment and variations were noted. The root mean square variation in thermoplastic cast group ranged from 0.93 mm to 4.61 mm in X axis, 1.28 mm to 8.07 mm in Y axis, 1.19 mm to 9.49 mm in Z axis. In knee rest foot rest arm these variations are 1.27 mm to 6.05 mm in X axis, 0.91 mm to 4.8 mm in Y axis and 1.09 mm to 5.3 mm in Z axis respectively. P value was significant in Y direction. The total vector error in thermoplastic cast group is 6.308 ± 2.17, and for the knee rest foot rest group was 4.67 ± 1.48. The p value obtained was 0.002, which was statistically significant in favor of knee rest foot rest arm. The bladder, rectum, bowel dose mean differences after isocenter displacement were not statistically significant in both arms.

Published: November 2022

This cross-sectional, retrospective, pre-post repeated measures study aimed to describe Ohio physicians’ burnout and mental health experiences as perceived prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic. A one-time online survey was completed by 1,613 physicians registered with the State Medical Board of Ohio (SMBO). Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to assess differences between physicians’ self-reports of burnout and mental health prior to and during the pandemic. Mann-Whitney U tests examined response differences between physicians and residents. Data revealed statistically significant differences between physicians’ pre-pandemic and pandemic experiences for all measures of burnout and mental health (p < 0.001) with moderate effect sizes for feeling emotionally drained from work (Z = −16.71, r = 0.43); feeling down, depressed, or hopeless (Z = −18.09, r = 0.46); feeling less accomplished (Z = −11.03, r = 0.29); and caring less about what happens to patients (Z = −12.04, r = 0.31). Small effect sizes were found for thoughts of suicide and concerns about one’s substance use. Additionally, resident physicians were more likely than physicians to report many burnout and mental health concerns prior to and during the pandemic, although these effect sizes were small. These findings can inform stakeholders’ efforts toward the prevention and reduction of physician burnout and improvement of well-being.

In dem folgenden Beitrag werden dieses Konzept und die sich damit verbindenden Vorstellungen erläutert und einer kritischen Bewertung unterzogen. Abschließend werden die Überlegungen auf das Konzept der Aneignung des Alters übertragen.
Pragmatic Competence as a Regulator of Foreign Language Speaking Proficiency
Authors: Morady Moghaddam Mostafa , Murray Neil , Mirfendereski Yara
Published: November 2022

Pragmatic competence is a multifaceted componential construct (Ifantidou & Tzanne, 2012) in the performance of which different underlying sub-skills produce a range of possible effects on learners’ speaking proficiency. In the study we report on, data from 180 Iranian EFL students were collected (90 boys vs. 90 girls), and the Pearson-Product Moment Correlation Coefficient used to test whether and to what degree the macro and micro components of Prutting and Kirchner’s (1987) Pragmatic Protocol correlate with learners’ scores on the speaking component of the IELTS General Training Test, and whether any perceived relationship varies according to gender. Results indicated that the verbal and paralinguistic components of the Protocol correlated significantly with the different tasks that feature in the IELTS speaking test. This, we argue, has implications for language teaching, and in particular stresses the need to foster conditions that allow for the development in learners of a more fine-tuned understanding of the relationship between language and context and the ways in which particular components of pragmatic competence are called upon in the performance of different kinds of communicative tasks.

In the past years, studies and research on bilingualism have experimented a striking advance due to the relevance of language learning across international educational policies. The deciding support of prominent organizations (e.g. UNESCO, OECD and European Commission, among others) is one of the key factors, together with globalisation and the human need to establish (and keep) what sociolinguists define as «contact». The arguments in favour of bilingualism are unquestionable in this era, and the benefits it brings to humans are undisputable. This volume arrives at a moment when research is invaluable due to both interdisciplinary crossing of data (e.g. cognitive science, neurolinguistics, psychology, education, linguistics and, even, economy and policies) and intradisciplinary insights from new findings.

El volumen estructurado en once Capítulos, cuatro Anexos, y con una extensa y significativa Bibliografía, ha sido concebido por autoras con un amplio bagaje experiencial en la dirección, elaboración e intervención en programas de lenguas y literaturas románicas, en las diferentes universidades de su trayectoria académica. Su valor e interés reside en que, como declaran desde las páginas dedicadas a dar cuenta del contexto de su emergencia, no es un “methods book” para la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras, de segundas lenguas, ni se vincula a un enfoque o metodología en particular. Más bien prefieren considerarlo como una guía apelando a la adaptabilidad, ese rasgo competencial profesional docente que se revela, hoy más que nunca, absolutamente necesario ante la diversidad de situaciones docentes y lenguas objeto de enseñanza/aprendizaje.

Todays, development of road transportation and settlement of roads ondifferent subgrade are problems of pavement industry. Desert and beach sands in different parts of the world are the results of load bearing, instability and failure against shear stresses. In other points of view, industries produce different wastewaters whose entrance to the natural environment results in environmental problems. This study utilizes numerical models to improve roadbeds made in sandy areas using ceramic industries wastewater. The goal is to investigate the applicationof experiment results of mixing ceramic industries wastewater, cement and dune sands in different geometrical models of reinforcing weak subgrade. The analysis of pavement reaction has been modeled in software. Using modeling of refined sand as subgrade or pavement layers stabilizer, surface layer settlement was calculated. The maximum settlement calculated from the modeling was compared with international standards.

Hydrocarbons are the significant part of the Russian Federation's exports. Due the exploration of hard-to-recover reserves, it is necessary to design and improve technical tools and methods to increase the efficiency of the geophysical information transfer in the logging of wells. A new communication channel for the telemetry transfer is proposed and investigated. The main idea is to use an acoustic signal in the ultrasonic frequency band and inner tube space as a transmission media. The inner tube space contains a more homogeneous media than the rocks behind the casing string. The use of ultrasonic frequencies reduces the signal scattering into the annular space. It is assumed that it will improve the reliability of the transferred information. The designed ultrasonic receiver and digital signal transmitter in the “Manchester II” code are presented based on the ma40s4s ultrasonic radiating element and the ma40s4r ultrasonic sensor. A test bench has been designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the technical solution. During the experiments, a significant influence of interference was revealed. Despite significant attenuation in a conductive media, this phenomenon significantly increases the signal amplitude, but makes it difficult to identify it, because the pauses between symbols are filled with the reflected signal. Evaluation of the ultrasonic signal attenuation in the inner tube space was carried out, and a conclusion was carried out concern the prospects of ultrasonic communication channel.
The role of metaphors in interpreting students’ difficulties in operating with percentages: A mixed method study based on large scale assessment
Authors: Giberti Chiara , Santi George , Spagnolo Camilla
Published: November 2022

The issue of students’ difficulties in processing operations with percentages has been addressed in several international research studies from a qualitative perspective. In this study, we analyze students’ difficulties on this topic, focusing on the transition from middle school to high school with a mixed methods research design. We focus on students’ responses in a specific task belonging to the Italian large-scale assessment analyzed through the Rasch model, and we deepen the task analysis thanks to interviews, which enlightened image schemas and metaphors underlying students’ reasoning. From the qualitative point of view, the Rasch model shows that students’ difficulties in dealing with percentages is a macrophenomenon that involves the higher levels of competences. From the qualitative point of view, the metaphoric approach outlines the image schemas that foster the correct conceptualization of percentage and those that hinder their correct learning and can be one of the possible causes of the emerging aforementioned macrophenomenon.
Conditions and constraints of implementing a mathematics lesson study-based PD program for Japanese pre-service teachers
Authors: Shinno Yusuke , Yanagimoto Tomoko
Published: November 2022

In this study, we aim to explore the conditions and constraints of implementing a lesson study-based professional development (LSPD) program for Japanese pre-service primary teachers. Based on the anthropological theory of the didactic–a well-established theoretical framework in mathematics education research–it offers three dimensions (institutional, educational, and personal) to frame and analyze the various conditions to implement the LSPD program and the constraints that impede them. We used a case study of an LSPD program for Japanese pre-service primary teachers, which offered pre-service teachers an opportunity to engage in mathematics lesson planning and participate in a lesson study conference. The results illustrated the conditions of the institutional context in which the LSPD program appeared, and the constraints in the difficulty of making the lesson study and PD coexist. We also found that the personal constraints on pre-service teachers’ lesson preparation work were affected by the conditions and constraints in other dimensions (institutional or educational). Thus, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the constraints that may shape or hinder teachers’ practice and knowledge in the LSPD program at diverse but interrelated levels.
Political Logic of the “Municipal Filter” in Russia: Evidence from Perm Krai 2020 Elections
Authors: Kovin Vitalii , Semenov Andrei
Published: November 2022

In this paper, we investigate the endorsement strategies of municipal council members in Russia. Since 2012, the candidates for chief executive office are required to collect the signatures at the local level. Filtering had been an important political toll before the return of direct gubernatorial elections, however, for the latter there are specific requirements in terms of territorial quotas and coverage that can be used against the independent candidates. We theorize that partisanship, gender, and employment sector on individual level and political competition, population size, and budget autonomy on the municipality level are important in shaping the councilmembers’ decision. We test this theory against the data on 2020 Perm krai gubernatorial elections and find out that while the general pattern is largely in line with our expectations, there are nuances when it comes to supporting particular opposition candidates. This study contributes to the literature on electoral authoritarianism and subnational elections in Russia and to the general scholarship on the means of authoritarian control.
