Published: July 2022

This study aims; 1) to describe Masudul Alam Choudhury and Milton Friedman version of monetary policy, 2) to describe the comparison of Masudul Alam Choudhury and Milton Friedman thoughts on monetary policy, 3) to describe the relevance of Masudul Alam Choudhury and Milton Friedman version of monetary policy to monetary policy in Indonesia. The research method used is a qualitative method with a literature review type. The results showed that; 1) Choudhury put forward the endogenous theory of money in Islam, where the central bank as the monetary authority only facilitates the circulation of the money supply volume so that the amount is accordance with actual spending and not spending demand expectation, 2) Friedman argues that money only affects inflation and does not affect economic growth, therefore monetary policy must be directed only affects at controlling inflation and not directed at influencing real economic activity, 3) The relevance of Choudhury and Friedman economic thinking regarding monetary policy on monetary policy in Indonesia can be seen from the implementation monetary policy implemented by Bank Indonesia.

Published: July 2022

This study examined the influence of shared strategic vision in participative leadership style on improving the quality of education in public secondary schools in Arusha region, Tanzania. Correlation survey design under quantitative approach was adopted to establish the influence of shared strategic vision on improving the quality of education. Data was collected from 291 respondents, comprising district education officers, heads of schools, academic masters/mistresses, students’ leaders, and teachers. Data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of the analysis revealed that shared strategic vision is a vital approach of participative leadership style that enabled the involvement of teachers in preparing a detailed school calendar system to guide teaching and learning activities for facilitating students’ achievements, provides conducive environment for motivating teachers through timely rewards systems, facilitates the sustainable implementation of education goals by ensuring that teaching strategies are guided by clear objectives for improving quality education, facilitates effective monitoring and evaluation of teaching and learning process for ensuring regular and early report of students’ academic progress, increases teachers’ commitment and efficiency to the attainment of students’ performance especially in lesson preparation and syllabus completion. The study concluded that teacher and students’ leaders are mainly implementers of the strategic vision rather than designers and thus affect the provision of quality of education. The study recommended the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology to develop a clear policy and increase efforts in training and retraining headmasters/mistresses on the proper delegation of responsibility for improving the quality of education in public secondary schools.

Published: July 2022

This study assessed the application of warning and reprimands by heads of schools on the management of professional misconduct among public secondary school teachers in Mara region, Tanzania. The reviewed literature indicated that there is a high rate of teachers’ professional misconduct and there was need of assessing the application of warnings and reprimands and find a way that can be properly used to manage teachers’ professional in the school environment. The study was guided by Transformation Leadership Theory which guides the HOSs to use different strategies in managing of teachers’ professional misconduct including warning and reprimands. The study used mixed methods approach and the convergent mixed research design whereby quantitative and qualitative data sets were collected simultaneously. The target population involved 300 students, 138 teachers, 25 heads of schools and 5 District TSC Officers. Stratified, simple random and purposeful sampling techniques were used to determine the study sample that consisted of 468 respondents. Questionnaires, interview guides, interview schedule, and document analysis guide were used to collect the required data. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using independent t-test. Narrations and direct quotations were used to present qualitative the study findings. However, the study also revealed that there was a significant relationship between the level of application warnings and reprimands strategy and management of teachers’ professional misconduct. The study concluded that warnings and reprimands were not properly applied due to unfairness, favouritism and insufficient of knowledge and skills by HOSs in dealing with management of teachers’ professional misconduct. The study recommended that TSC under the government should give education to the heads of schools on the proper usage of warnings and reprimands to avoid favouritism to the teachers when issuing warnings and reprimands.

Introduction. Burning mouth syndrome is an unspecific oral pathological condition characterized by chronic pain lasting at least 4-6 months. The pain might be accompanied by a burning sensation localized on the oral mucosa, without being justified by the presence of any lesions. In some cases this “condition” may be accompanied by dry mouth symptoms. Material and method. This study represents an analysis of a case series of burning mouth syndrome patients. Anamnestic data (medical history, responses to the QX Michigan questionnaire), symptoms and salivary parameters were also recorded for this analysis. Results. It was found a lot of signs due to the lack of saliva such of coated tongue, oral candidiasis or positive mirror sign. However, most patients had a normal or slightly decreased quantity of saliva. Conclusions. Dry mouth does not seem to be a pathological condition which is present in all cases of burning mouth syndrome, but for clarifying this issue further investigations are needed.

Entre lo monstruoso y el contorno de lo humano. Una contribución histórico-estética al debate acerca de la representación de víctimas y victimarios en el espacio público
Authors: Arriagada Veyl Patricio , Ibarra Becerra Víctor
Published: July 2022

Este artículo aborda el problema de ‘lo monstruoso’ en la representación de víctimas y victimarios en el espacio público. Reflexionamos sobre la exhibición que figuras vinculadas a lo monstruoso han tenido en el último tiempo en diversas apuestas museográficas alemanas, poniendo énfasis en la dificultad que conlleva la representación del perpetrador. Mostraremos cómo este problema implica la adopción de una postura por parte del museo, que por lo general ha oscilado entre enfatizar el ‘horror’ o la ‘monstruosidad’ de los actos del perpetrador, o el aspecto ‘humano’ o ‘corriente’ del sujeto que perpetra, con la finalidad de comprender de mejor manera los factores históricos que explican determinada interpretación de las acciones cometidas. Veremos cómo ambas posiciones pueden ser problemáticas y cómo el análisis de los casos muestra que es necesario dar lugar a respuestas estéticas particulares a cada exhibición; a saber, se hará evidente la necesidad de cuestionar cualquier a priori histórico al analizar y representar la violencia de Estado.

Mass Matters: No Evidence for Ubiquitous Lithium Production in Low-mass Clump Giants
Authors: Chanamé Julio , Pinsonneault Marc H. , Aguilera-Gómez Claudia , Zinn Joel C.
Published: July 2022

Known sources of lithium (Li) in the universe include the Big Bang, novae, asymptotic giant branch stars, and cosmic-ray spallation. During their longer-lived evolutionary phases, stars are not expected to add to the Li budget of the Galaxy, but to largely deplete it. In this context, recent analyses of Li data from GALAH and LAMOST for field red clump (RC) stars have concluded that there is the need for a new production channel of Li, ubiquitous among low-mass stars, and that would be triggered on the upper red giant branch (RGB) or at helium ignition. This is distinct from the Li-rich giant problem and reflects bulk RC star properties. We provide an analysis of the GALAH Li data that accounts for the distribution of progenitor masses of field RC stars observed today. Such progenitors are different than today’s field RGB stars. Using standard post-main-sequence stellar evolution, we show that the distribution of Li among field RC giants as observed by GALAH is consistent with standard model predictions, and does not require new Li production mechanisms. Our model predicts a large fraction of very low Li abundances from low-mass progenitors, with higher abundances from higher mass ones. Moreover, there should be a large number of upper limits for RC giants, and higher abundances should correspond to higher masses. The most recent GALAH data indeed confirm the presence of large numbers of upper limits, and a much lower mean Li abundance in RC stars, in concordance with our interpretation.
Mapping Discrete Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn with 21 cm Observations
Authors: Reis Itamar , Barkana Rennan , Fialkov Anastasia
Published: July 2022

At cosmic dawn, the 21 cm signal from intergalactic hydrogen was driven by Ly-α photons from some of the earliest stars, producing a spatial pattern that reflected the distribution of galaxies at that time. Due to the large foreground, it is thought that at around redshift 20 it is only observationally feasible to detect 21 cm fluctuations statistically, yielding a limited indirect probe of early galaxies. Here, we show that 21 cm images at cosmic dawn should actually be dominated by large (tens of comoving megaparsecs) high-contrast bubbles surrounding individual galaxies. We demonstrate this using a substantially upgraded seminumerical simulation code that realistically captures the formation and 21 cm effects of the small galaxies expected during this era. Small number statistics associated with the rarity of early galaxies, combined with the multiple scattering of photons in the blue wing of the Ly-α line, create the large bubbles, and also enhance the 21 cm power spectrum by a factor of 2–7 and add to it a feature that measures the typical brightness of galaxies. These various signatures of discrete early galaxies are potentially detectable with planned experiments, such as the Square Kilometer Array and the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array, even if the early stars prove to be formed in dark matter halos with masses as low as 108

Biodiversity of Nearctic inland water: discovery of the genus Heterorotula (Porifera, Spongillida, Spongillidae) in the Appalachian Mountains, with biogeographical implications and description of new species
Authors: Manconi Renata , Copeland John , Kunigelis Stan , Pronzato Roberto
Published: July 2022

This paper reports the discovery of a small population of sponges in the Pigeon River of eastern Tennessee, USA, which were morphologically distinct from Spongillida of North America. A morphological comparative analysis resulted in the first Nearctic record of the genus Heterorotula with the description of a new species Heterorotula lucasisp. nov. diverging from all other known species by its unique combinations of diagnostic morphotraits of spicules and gemmules. The new record enlarges the geographic range of the genus which has been known until now only from Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Japan (as an alien species), and from subequatorial Brazil (as subfossil remains). The discovery of a biogeographic enclave of Heterorotula in the southeastern United States contributes to the understanding of Porifera inland water biodiversity, biogeographic patterns, and adaptive morphotraits in the Nearctic and globally. Data confirm that the Appalachian region (Ordovician–Permian origin) of Tennessee and, in general, of North America have high levels of diversity and endemicity.
On the exponential time-decay for the one-dimensional wave equation with variable coefficients
Authors: Arnold Anton , Geevers Sjoerd , Perugia Ilaria , Ponomarev Dmitry
Published: July 2022

We consider the initial-value problem for the one-dimensional, time-dependent wave equation with positive, Lipschitz continuous coefficients, which are constant outside a bounded region. Under the assumption of compact support of the initial data, we prove that the local energy decays exponentially fast in time, and provide the explicit constant to which the solution converges for large times. We give explicit estimates of the rate of this exponential decay by two different techniques. The first one is based on the definition of a modified, weighted local energy, with suitably constructed weights. The second one is based on the integral formulation of the problem and, under a more restrictive assumption on the variation of the coefficients, allows us to obtain improved decay rates.

Published: July 2022

We present two existence theorems for a general system of functional quadratic Hammerstein-Urysohn integral equations in arbitrary Orlicz spaces $ L_\varphi $, namely when the generating $ N $-functions fulfill $ \Delta' $ and $ \Delta_3 $-conditions. The studied system contains many integral equations as special cases such as the Chandrasekhar equations, which have significant applications in technology and different disciplines of science. Our analysis is concerned with the fixed point approach and a measure of noncompactness.

A descriptive cross-sectional study of food hygiene practices among informal ethnic food vendors in Gauteng Province, South Africa
Authors: Mbombo-Dweba Tulisiwe P. , Mbajiorgu Christian A. , Oguttu James Wabwire
Published: July 2022

Demand for ethnic foods by the immigrant population has led to proliferation of ethnic food shops (shops selling foods eaten by different ethnic groups). However, the status of the food hygiene practices among these vendors is unknown. This study investigated food hygiene practices among informal ethnic food vendors in Gauteng Province (GP), South Africa. Participants included immigrants managing informal ethnic food shops in GP. Snowball sampling was used to identify participants (n=40). A questionnaire/checklist was used to collect information on hygiene practices. Although majority of ethnic food shops (95%; n=38) operated in permanent structures, just over half (55%; n=22) of these facilities had windows. The remaining 5% (n=2) of the vendors operated from the boot/trunk of cars. None of the participants had a food probe used to monitor the temperature of food. Most of the participants (65%; n=26) did not own freezers, and just above half (55%, n=22) had microwave ovens. Majority (95%; n=38) of the respondents had access to toilet facilities and tap water at their premises. Only two (5%; n=2) respondents brought water from home, and these used public toilets at shopping centers in the vicinity of their businesses. Majority (72.5%; n=29) of the respondents were not aware of the importance of keeping food above 65˚C. Slightly over half (55%, n=22) of the respondents did not reheat the food before serving, and only 10 % (n=4) followed proper food reheating procedures. Poor food hygiene practices and lack of appropriate food handling equipment and facilities are common among ethnic food vendors. The widespread lack of awareness of the importance of holding food above 65˚C, and the high prevalence of not reheating the food before serving, and not following proper food reheating procedures, are a major source of concern as these practices are potentially associated with promoting food contamination with foodborne diseasecausing organisms. It is envisaged that findings reported here can guide policy makers to design policies that promote selling safe food by ethnic food vendors. To enhance compliance, it is recommended that such policies should be user friendly to the operators of informal ethnic food shops.
Medical Nutrition Therapy Using Carbohydrate Counting
Authors: Kim Mi Ra
Published: July 2022

Improved postprandial glucose management requires careful monitoring of carbohydrate counting and consideration of the blood glucose response to dietary carbohydrate. Furthermore, learning how to use insulin-to-carbohydrate ratios for meal planning might help people successfully adjust insulin dose from meal to meal to enhance glycemic control. Regular education to raise knowledge of the link between carbohydrate intake and insulin requirements is critical for those whose meal schedules or carbohydrate consumption are unpredictable. Medical nutrition therapy is an important part of total diabetes management, and each person with diabetes should participate actively in education, self-management, and treatment planning with their health care team, including creation of a personalized food plan.
Social Determinants of Health in Diabetes Patient Care

Diabetic patients must exert continuous self-management in areas such as diet, exercise, and medications to control blood sugar. However, such habits are greatly influenced by lifestyle; socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental conditions; as well as individual will. In vulnerable groups, the prevalence of diabetes is higher than in non-vulnerable groups, and difficulties in diabetes management are more common. Health is impacted by age; gender; genetics; lifestyle; social and community networks; living and working conditions; and socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental conditions. Among these various factors, five ‘social determinants of health’ highly affect the health management of diabetic patients: socioeconomic status, physical environment (housing environment, transportation), food insecurity, family and social support, and health literacy. It is important address these social determinants of health, starting with identification of individualized social needs of patients. Efforts should be made to improve quality of life through use of community resources and to further contribute to alleviating health inequality.
Precision Medicine in Type 2 Diabetes
Authors: Jeon Eonju
Published: July 2022

Precision medicine is an innovative approach to tailoring disease prevention and treatment that takes into account differences in people’s genes, environments, and lifestyle patterns. The aim of such an approach is to lead a shift in the clinical treatment paradigm from a trial-and-error or perceptive approach to the right drug, for the right patient, at the right time. The characterization of human biology and behaviors is now possible at scale owing to advances in biomarkers, bioimaging, and wearable technologies. In addition, big data from electronic medical records, health insurance databases, and other platforms have become available. These have enabled the generation of new insights into the phenotype known as diabetes. Precision medicine in diabetes (PMD) refers to an approach to optimize the diagnosis, prediction, and prevention or treatment of diabetes by integrating multi-dimensional data accounting for individual differences. The potential for precision treatment in diabetes is vast and should be considered cost-effective. Compared to precision medicine of monogenic diabetes, precision medicine of type 2 diabetes is difficult due to the polygenic condition in which environment as well as thousands of etiological genetic variants play an important role. Although there are the great concerns about PMD, which is complex and difficult to do, is required much time, we look forward to clinical utility in the treatment of patients based on their effects on different classes of markers, including race, metabolic status, other phenotypic markers, and omics data for each class of antihyperglycemic medication in the near future.

Photovoltaic (PV) can be considered as one of the greatest known forms of renewable energy.Though, the output performance of PV systems is very dependent on environmental conditions such as the PV modules’ temperature, peak sun hours and others. Hence, the prediction of PV system’s daily energy output production is very significant. The research in this paper is regarding the prediction of daily energy production of a 405.72KWP PV system that has been installed on rooftop by using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Then, the prediction from ANN intended compared with the result from the mathematical method as well with the real data value. This research also investigates the optimal ANN input configuration to obtain the best results closest to the real data value. It can be analysed from the results that ANN with 12 input configurations is the optimal configuration that to predict the PV output closer to the daily energy production to mathematical method. Moreover, there are different results with different sets of input in ANN as there are no specific to fix the number of inputs.

PSO-GAScript is a domain-specific scripting language designed to support easy and rapid implementation of meta-heuristics algorithms focused on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). The programming language has been developed to allow the hybridization of the two meta-heuristics algorithms. Hybridizations between PSO and GA are proven to be a comprehensive tool for solving different kinds of optimization problems. Moreover, the two algorithms have achieved a remarkable improvement from the adaptation of dynamic parameterization. Nevertheless, implementing the suitable hybrid algorithms is a considerably difficult, which in most cases is time consuming. To the best of our knowledge, the existing tools are not adequately designed to enable users to easily develop the meta-heuristics hybridization of PSO-GA with dynamic parameterizations. This paper presents the fundamental research methodology of domain-specific scripting language from the language design, constructs and evaluations focused on the case of PSO-GA hybridization and dynamic parameterizations. The PSO-GAScript are shown to easily use with minimal number of codes lines and concisely describe the meta-heuristics algorithms in a directly publishable form.

Não existe ciência aplicada na democracia
Authors: Curvelano Freire Bernardo , Teófilo Marques Claudio , Vianna Salvador , Marques Raimundo
Published: July 2022

A partir de uma série de provocações institucionais transcorridas durante o ano de 2020 em uma universidade federal na caatinga, o presente artigo busca refletir sobre a constituição da noção de ciência aplicada como uma forma específica de manutenção de esquemas classificatórios e administrativos de tipo Grande Divisor. Desta forma, visamos descrever algumas práticas de pesquisa e extensão universitárias que se beneficiam bastante desta divisão, compreendendo-a como, na produção da pesquisa científica, ela é efetivamente um marcador contra-democrático e componente formal de instituições coloniais. Buscamos assim olhar com desconfiança para o atavismo institucional que sugere que os diversos sistemas universitários seriam produtores de democracia quando parte significativa de sua liturgia institucional opera na obstrução da participação direta da parte das populações atingidas diretamente por projetos que considerados estratégicos. O artigo compreende, por fim, que a ecologia política compreendida radicalmente permite que possamos estender processos descritivos de forma a potencializar as relações de aliança e, por conseguinte, de inimizade necessárias para a defesa dos territórios de caatinga em contexto de ataques permanentes à sua autonomia e liberdade.
Notas sobre a epistemologia de Marx segundo Lukács, Althusser e Alfred Schmidt
Authors: Cunha Viana Henrique
Published: July 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir a ideia da existência de uma filosofia da práxis na obra de Marx a partir da interpretação de três autores: Louis Althusser, György Lukács e Alfred Schmidt. Discutimos como a ideia da filosofia da práxis elucida aspectos ontológicos, epistemológicos e metodológicos da fundamentação da crítica da economia política feita por Marx, atentando para a importância da descoberta da economia política clássica por parte do autor na conformação dessa abordagem nova. Discute-se como tal filosofia, intimamente ligada à crítica da economia política, confere centralidade ao trabalho como atividade sensível e ao metabolismo humano-natureza e engendra uma perspectiva radicalmente diferente no debate cosmológico e epistemológico da filosofia moderna. Apresentamos ainda o que localizamos como as especificidades destes fundamentos, quais sejam, o trabalho como lugar originário do conhecimento, a não separação estrita entre humano e natureza na teoria social e, por último, a conciliação entre liberdade e necessidade na consideração da dialética social.

“Estourou a Reforma Agrária”: o movimento reivindicatório de Camaquã
Authors: Pereira Alves Bernard José
Published: July 2022

O texto explora os elementos que compuseram a organização do movimento responsável pela ocupação de terra ocorrida no município de Camaquã, no Rio Grande do Sul, no início da década de 1960, numa área conhecida como Banhado do Colégio. O evento é relevante pois permite um aprofundamento, tanto na forma pela qual a luta por terra se desenhava naquele período, quanto por revisitar os instrumentos mobilizados pelo poder público para, não somente atender às demandas dos sem terra, mas também tornar público um posicionamento favorável a projetos de assentamento e reforma agrária durante o governo de Leonel Brizola (1959-1963). O texto se propõe a realizar uma análise qualitativa, a partir de entrevistas, documentos e jornais da época. Dessa forma, está dividido em três partes. A primeira busca refazer, por meio das memórias daqueles que participaram o evento, como se desenrolou a organização do movimento. A segunda se concentra em explorar a liderança responsável pela articulação local e suas conexões com representantes do poder público municipal e estadual. Na terceira são apontados os recursos mobilizados pelo governo do estado do Rio Grande do Sul para atender a demanda, entre outras ações de apoio à reorganização da estrutura fundiária estadual.
A construção da imagem no adeus a Brizola: apontamentos sobre a cobertura do funeral pela imprensa
Authors: Ortiz Righi Graziane
Published: July 2022

O artigo pretende analisar como a imprensa escrita construiu a imagem de Leonel Brizola durante seu funeral, em junho de 2004. Embora o pedetista viesse enfrentado duras perdas eleitorais nos anos anteriores à sua morte, ele mantinha-se ativo na vida pública. A extensa cobertura de sua morte por diferentes veículos de comunicação das mais diversas perspectivas ideológicas, assim como a comoção popular - aliado ao esforço político de seus herdeiros - impulsionou a imagem de Brizola aos holofotes da política nacional. A crise política que levou ao golpe parlamentar contra Dilma Rousseff, em 2016, consolidou o retorno de sua imagem a partir do acesso a um Brizola de um passado mais longínquo: de sua luta pela democracia em 1961. Assim, a despeito de sua morte, a memória sobre o político segue pujante. Julguei mais adequado ao tema as interpretações já tradicionais de Maurice Halbwachs (1990). Além disso, a análise partiu de reflexões já apresentadas sobre a relação História e Imprensa, bem como as relações da imprensa e política. As fontes consultadas para esta reflexão foram os periódicos Zero Hora, Correio do Povo, O Globo e Jornal do Brasil.
