Research Method for Exploring Discourse on the Rights for Religion for Transgender
Authors: Widiastuti Rr. Siti Kurnia
Published: December 2018

This paper explores several research methods used by researchers and published in various scientific journals to examine transgender issues in various countries. Transgender individuals are one of the gender-based minorities in social life. They live in uncomfortable conditions. They face life’s problems, which include problems in expressing religious rights, economic stability, and getting professional jobs. Like other human beings, they also have the right as citizens. These rights include civil rights, including religious rights, political rights, and social rights. There are several research methodologies that may be appropriate to be applied in research on transgender-related issues, namely life history, ethnography, phenomenology, feminist approach, textual or hermeneutic interpretation, and case studies.[Tulisan ini mengeksplorasi beberapa metode penelitian yang digunakan oleh para peneliti yang dipublikasikan dalam berbagai jurnal ilmiah untuk meneliti isu-isu transgender di berbagai negara. Para individu transgender merupakan salah satu kelompok minoritas berdasarkan gender di dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Mereka hidup dalam kondisi yang tidak nyaman. Mereka menghadapi berbagai problem kehidupan, yang termasuk di dalamnya adalah problem dalam mengekspresikan hak beragama, stabilitas ekonomi, dan mendapatkan pekerjaan profesional. Sebagaimana layaknya manusia lainnya, mereka juga memiliki hak sebagai warga negara. Hak tersebut antara lain adalah hak sipil yang termasuk di dalamnya hak beragama, hak berpolitik, dan hak bersosial. Ada beberapa metodologi penelitian yang mungkin sesuai untuk diterapkan dalam penelitian pada isu-isu yang berkaitan dengan transgender, yaitu sejarah hidup (life history), etnografi, fenomenologi, pendekatan feminis, interpretasi teks atau hermeneutik, dan studi kasus.](This article is based on a preliminary of Dissertation that is written by Rr.

The Face of Mountainous Islam: The Dynamic of Islam in the Dieng Mountains Wonosobo, Central Java, Indonesia
Authors: Salehudin Ahmad , Ichwan Moch. Nur , Sofjan Dicky
Published: December 2018

This article elaborates Mountainous Islam in the Dieng Mountains. Today Dieng is a Muslim society. However the historical accounts about the way Islam entered Dieng are still debatable. It becomes more difficult since there is no any support data that is quite reliable. Based on oral history and Islamic phenomenon, there are three important finding showed. First, the history of Islam in the Dieng Mountains is provided clear information that Islam entered to the Dieng not merely by the acculturation process as commonly understood, but also colonialization.  Second, the Islamic tradition in the Dieng Mountains is the result of the negotiation of Islamic traditions and Hindu-Buddhist that first grew in Dieng, and present traditions that come to the Dieng Mountains. Islam Dieng creatively adopts and adapts new traditions in line with the improvement of society’s economic condition. Third, Islamic expression displayed by the Dieng community is a portrait of a mountainous Islam that is adaptive, dynamic, and open to change. Their religious expression will continue to change along with the development of creativity that is influenced by economic development, educational attainment, their encounters with outsiders, and the natural vulnerabilities they face as people living in active and often life-threatening mountains.[Artikel ini menguraikan Islam Pegunungan di Dieng. Hari ini Dieng adalah sebuah masyarakat Muslim. Namun catatan sejarah tentang cara masuknya Islam Dieng masih diperdebatkan. Ini menjadi lebih sulit karena tidak ada data pendukung yang cukup andal. Berdasarkan sejarah lisan dan fenomena Islam, ada tiga temuan penting yang ditunjukkan. Pertama, sejarah Islam di Pegunungan Dieng memberikan informasi yang jelas bahwa Islam masuk ke Dieng tidak hanya dengan proses akulturasi seperti yang biasa dipahami, tapi juga kolonialisasi. Kedua, tradisi Islam di Pegunungan Dieng adalah hasil negosiasi tradisi Islam dan Hindu-Budha yang datang pertama kali ke Dieng. Islam Dieng secara kreatif mengadopsi dan menyesuaikan dengan dan menciptakan tradisi baru seiring dengan membaiknya kondisi ekonomi masyarakat. Ketiga, ekspresi Islam yang ditampilkan oleh masyarakat Dieng merupakan potret sebuah agama Islam pegunungan yang adaptif, dinamis, dan terbuka untuk berubah. Ekspresi religius mereka akan terus berubah seiring dengan perkembangan kreativitas yang dipengaruhi oleh pembangunan ekonomi, pencapaian pendidikan, perjumpaan mereka dengan orang luar, dan kerentanan alami yang mereka hadapi sebagai orang yang tinggal di pegunungan yang aktif dan sering mengancam jiwa.]
The Doctrine of Logos Within Ibn ‘Arabi Mystical Philosophy
Authors: Muzairi Muzairi , Widiadharma Novian
Published: December 2018

There are no less than twenty-two terms which Ibn ‘Arabi uses to designate what one might call a Mohammedan Logos. References to these terms, with explanations, will be given later. The reason, why we find Ibn‘Arabi using such a large collection of terms for one thing, is twofold. In the first place, it is due to the fact that he derived his material from so many divergent sources, preserving, so far as possible, the terminology of each source. Here, e.g., he is using terms borrowed from Sufis, scholastic theologians, Neo-platonists, the Qur’an and so on. Secondly, his pantheism enables him to use the name of anything for the One Reality which is the ultimate ground of all things. The terms to below refer to different aspects of the One Reality which is now regarded as the Logos.[Tidak kurang dari sekitar 22 istilah yang digunakan oleh Ibn ‘Arabi untuk merujuk apa yang disebut sebagai “logos Muhammad”. Beberapa referensi bagi istilah tersebut dengan penjelasannya akan dijelaskan berikutnya.  Terdapat dua alasan utama yang menjadikan Ibn ‘Araby menggunakan puluhan istilah untuk menyebut hal yang sama. Pertama, dikarenakan adanya fakta bahwa ia mengambil seluruh material dari berbagai macam sumber dan sebisa mungkin mempertahankan istilah dari masing-masing sumber. Dalam hal ini, ia meminjam istilah dari kelompok sufi, teolog skolastik, neo-platonis, al-Qur ’an dan yang lainnya. Kedua, panteisme-nya memungkinkan untuk memakai beragam nama sesuatu bagi satu realitas yang menjadi pusat dari segala sesuatu. Istilah-istilah yang begitu banyak merupakan aspek-aspek yang berbeda dari Realitas Yang Satu yang kini dipandang sebagai Logos.]
Exclusive Islam From The Perspective of Ibn Taymiyah
Authors: Noorhayati Siti Mahmudah , Fata Ahmad Khoirul
Published: December 2018

To build the idea of Islamic inclusiveness, Nurcholish Madjid made Ibn Taymiyah a reference. The definition of “Islam” as al-inqiyad, al-istislam, and al-ikhlash by Ibn Taymiyah became the foundation for Madjid to propagate the ideology of religious unity of the prophets, in the form of monotheism or submission only to Allah. But on the other hand there are many scholars who viewed the contrary, that Ibn Taymiyah was not an inclusive thinker. Instead he was the source of inspiration for the contemporary Islamic radicalism. This paper attempts to probe the religious ideas of Ibn Taymiyah. The focus of this paper is on the thought of Ibn Taymiyah on Islam and other religions, especially Judaism and Christianity. Research on some of his works showed that it is not quite right to conclude that Ibn Taymiyah was an inclusive thinker. There are, in fact, some of his ideas that seem to be inclusive as Madjid referred to. However, in-depth study on his thought showed that he had exclusive views on Islam. In addition to interpreting Islam linguistically, Ibn Taymiyah also considered that Islam brought by Prophet Muhammad is the true way of salvation. Meanwhile Judaism and Christianity have experienced deviations and therefore cannot guarantee the salvation of their adherents.[Dalam upaya mengkonstruk pemikiran Islam inklusifnya, Nurcholish Madjib merujuk pemikiran Ibnu Taymiyah sebaga landasan definisi sikap keislaman. Bagi Ibnu Taymiyah, definisi Islam ialah sikap tunduk/patuh (al inqiyad), memberikan keselamatan (al Istislam), dan keluhuran budi (al ikhlas). Corak pendefinisian ini juga dijadikan Nurcholis Madjid untukmempropaganda kesatuan ideology kenabian dalam bentuk kesatuan ketuhanan dan kepatuhan hanya pada Allah. Pada sisi yang lain, pandangan Nurcholish Madji ini jauh berbeda dengan para cendikiawan muslim yang lain. Posisi Ibnu Taymiyah terkait sikap keislaman dikategorikan sebagai pemikir ekslufisme dan fundamentalisme. Bahkan, tidak jarang dari mereka, mengatakan jika ajaran Ibnu Taymiyah menjadi sumber pemikiran radikal di era sekarang. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini akan mencoba untuk mengeksplorasi ide Ibnu Taymiyah secara holistik, khususnya sikap inklusif-eksklusif terhadap agama lain. Pada kesimpulannya, berdasarkan karya pribadinya, membuat konklusi Ibnu Taymiyah sebagai pemikir Islam-Inklusif tidaklah, sepenuhnya benar. Ada banyak fakta sikap Ibnu Taymiyah yang berbeda dari pemikiran inklusif. Sebab, kalau diteliti secara mendalam, pemaknaan linguistic terhadap kata Islam sendiri bagi Ibnu Taymiyah adalah kepasrahan dan penyelematan yang datang dari Nabi Muhammad SAW. Dia masih menganggap bahwa agama lain merupakan wujud deviasi dari ajaran Islam. Serta, ketundukan mereka tidak akan membawanya pada keselamatan nantinya.]
The Role of Traditional Islamic Boarding School-Based Islamic Studies as Radicalism and Intolerance Flow’s Blocking Agent
Authors: Suryadi Suryadi , Mansur M.
Published: December 2018

In Indonesia, the attitude of radicalism and intolerance within Islam has flourished over the last few decades. There are several factors that encourage the emergence of it. One of them is the waning of Islamic Studies in various educational institutions today. As a result, Islam is only understood to be a matter of aqeedah and worship. Basically, many studies have been conducted to tackle radical and intolerant behavior with various approaches: social, political, economic, etc. In this paper, one offer of solutions through Islamic Studies in traditional Islamic Boarding School education institutions will be discussed. The findings in the field stated that the curriculum applied in Islamic Boarding School became one of the significant factors in the efforts of deradicalization. It can not be separated from the open-minded learning method and various teaching materials of Islamic Boarding School that made students to be familiar with diversity.[Di Indonesia, sikap radikalisme dan intoleranisme dalam Islam tumbuh subur selama beberapa dekade terakhir. Ada beberapa macam faktor yang mendorong munculnya hal tersebut. Salah satu di antaranya adalah memudarnya kajian Islamic Studies dalam berbagai lembaga pendidikan dewasa ini. Akibatnya, Islam hanya dipahami sebatas persoalan akidah dan ibadah saja. Pada dasarnya telah banyak studi dilakukan guna menanggulangi perilaku radikal dan intoleran dengan berbagai pendekatan: sosial, politik, ekonomi, dll. Dalam tulisan ini akan dibahas salah satu tawaran solusi melalui Studi Islam dalam lembaga pendidikan pesantren tradisional. Temuan di lapangan menyatakan bahwa kurikulum yang diterapkan di pesantren menjadi salah satu faktor signifikan dalam upaya deradikalisasi. Hal ini tak lepas dari metode pembelajaran pesantren yang terbuka serta bahan ajar yang beragam sehingga menyebabkan santri terbiasa dengan perbedaan.]
Syaikh Abdul Latief Syakur’s View on Moral Values in Tafsīr Surah Al-Mukminūn
Authors: Wahidi Ridhoul , Shabir Muslich , Junaidi Akhmad Arif
Published: December 2018

Akhlak (morals) is a very important part in human life, without which men will not reach the degree of a noble man. On contrary, human beings having good akhlak can distinguish between good and bad deeds to become a noble man. The issue of morality is currently experiencing acute decadence that must be quickly overcome by various circles. One of the ways is through learning the thinking of earlier muslims scholars. One of the earlier Islamic scholars is Syaikh Abdul Latief Syakur, one of the local ulamas in Minangkabau, whose academic background had a direct contact with the dynamics of Middle Eastern scholarship,and who contributed a lot of thoughts to uplift the dignity of the nation through morals. As a scholar, Syaikh Abdul Latief Syakur presented and describedseveral moral values to overcome the present moral decadence through his thoughts set forth in his work Tafsīr Surah al-Mukminūn. The application of moral values in this tafsir work contributes to the present moment by applying the values of the spirit of khusyu and khuḍhu’ which illustrates the humility and tepo seliro (tolerance) which are transcendent. Not only on its transcendent and cognitive aspects, but also on the other dimensions of humanity thoroughly and striving in winning nature (fitrah) and logics against lust.[Akhlak merupakan bagian yang sangat penting dalam kehidupan manusia. Tanpa akhlak manusia tidak akan memiliki derajat sebagai manusia mulia, sebaliknya manusia yang berakhlak dapat membedakan antara perbuatan baik dan buruk sehingga menjadi manusia mulia. Persoalan akhlak saat ini mengalami dekadensi akut yang harus cepat diatasi oleh berbagai kalangan. Salah satunya adalah melalui pemikiran ulama-ulama terdahulu. Salah satu ulama yang dimaksud adalah Syaikh Abdul Latief Syakur, salah seorang ulama lokal dari Minangkabau, dimana sisi akademisnya bersentuhan langsung dengan dinamika keilmuan Timur Tengah yang tidak sedikit memberikan warna pemikiran dalam mengangkat harkat martabat bangsa melalui akhlak. Sebagai seorang ulama, Syaikh Abdul Latief Syakur menghadirkan dan menguraikan nilai-nilai akhlak dalam mengatasi dekadensi akhlak masa kini melalui pemikiran yang dituangkan dalam tafsīr surat al- Mukminūn. Penerapan nilai-nilai akhlak dalam tafsir ini memberikan kontribusi kekinian dengan cara menerapkan nilai spirit-spirit khusyu dan khuḍhu’ yang menggambarkan kerendahan hati dan tepo seliro, dimana dari dua unsur tersebut bersifat transenden. Tidak saja yang transenden dan kognitif, tetapi lebih jauh pada dimensi kemanusiaan lainnya secara menyeluruh dan mengupayakan dalam memenangkan fitrah dan akal terhadap hawa nafsu.]

Published: December 2018

Existen pocos estudios relacionados con microdensitometría de rayos X en madera de bosques tropicales nativos. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la variación radial de la densidad aparente del leño de Amburana cearensis (Allemão) A.C.Sm. por microdensitometría de rayos X. Se seleccionaron 11 árboles, de los que se cortaron secciones radiales de la médula a la corteza, para establecer la densidad aparente y las características anatómicas en tres posiciones radiales. Los resultados mostraron que la madera de A. cearensis presentó valores medios de densidad de madera, mínimo y máximo de 0.55, 0.13 y 0.87 g.cm-3,respectivamente. Asimismo, mostró diferencia significativa en tres posiciones médula (intermedia y corteza), esta diferencia puede ser explicada por la anatomía microscópica, especialmente con los vasos (diámetro, área y el número.mm-2). La microdensitometría de rayos X es una herramienta importante en la evaluación radial de la madera y puede ayudar en la definición de los límites de los anillos de crecimiento de A. cearensis.
Feasible Time for Extraction of Lead from Spent Paste by Pyrometallurgical Process
Authors: Ibraheem Fakhri H.
Published: December 2018

This paper focuses on determining the feasible time for production of lead from spent paste (SP) by pyrometallurgical process through the rotary furnace. The extraction process faces several problems due to difficulties to control reaction media conditions. The experiments had been done on rotary furnace which exists in a secondary lead smelter in Baghdad - Khan Dhary. The SP mainly consists of lead sulfate and lead oxides. The experiments are implemented at high temperatures (1300°C) for reduction and desulfurization. 20 experiments were designed to determine the feasible smelting cycle time. The weight of slag, matte, and lead bullion was determined in each experiment as well as the percent of lead in each phase. These data were analyzed and graphically represented. The reaction’s rate profile can be detailed in the following manner: (1) High rate during the first 90 smelting min. Low rate from 90 to 120 min. Very low rate after 120 min. (2) The feasible extraction time is between 120 and 130 min with average lead percent in slag not >8%. (3) The slag with lead percent higher than 5% is returned to the furnace whereas the lower one is extracted by the blast furnace.
Thermodynamics and Kinetic Investigations on the Interactions between Malachite Green and Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide
Authors: Zeng Yiwen , Guo Juan , Wang Xingquan , Wang Nong
Published: December 2018

Malachite green (MG) is a widely-used textile dye. It fades in the presence of the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in aqueous solutions and in oil/water/surfactant microemulsions. The surfactant was treated as a reactant in this study, as there were direct interactions between MG and CTAB in these solutions. By measuring the absorbance of different MG aqueous solutions and microemulsions at the maximum absorbance wavelength, and using the appropriate association models to analyze the experimental data, a good linear relationship was observed between MG and CTAB. Association constants were obtained and the value of the thermodynamics function of association Δr Gm was calculated. It was concluded from these results that microemulsion formation had an inhibitory effect on the association reaction.

Authors: Naeem Farhana , Asim Fareha , Tufail Muhammad
Published: December 2018

Fabric pilling and handle are important characteristics for home textiles. Treatments, such as preparatory processes and finishing operations, can have a significant effect on the final properties of the fabric. In this research, the pilling performance of bamboo rayon and 50/50 bamboo rayon/cotton fabrics were investigated. Plain and satin weaves were selected. Fabrics were pre-treated with and without singeing. The pilling resistance of singed bamboo rayon and singed bamboo rayon/cotton fabrics were comparatively better than unsigned fabrics. Sanforizing, softening, binder application, and biopolishing were also studied. The binder application technique improved overall pilling performance for plain and satin weave structures without sacrificing fabric characteristics and properties.

Authors: Bhagwat Archana , Kothavale Shantaram , Shinde Suvidha , Nethi Sekar Nagaiyan
Published: December 2018

Four novel methoxy- and hydroxy-triphenylamine-based azo dyes were synthesized and applied on polyester and nylon fabrics. Photophysical properties of the dyes were studied in different organic solvents. Lightfastness and sublimation fastness properties were evaluated. Level dyeing with intense red and yellow colors was observed for these dyes on polyester fabric. Comparatively, brighter color and higher color strength ( K/ S) values were observed on polyester fabric than on nylon fabric dyed with these dyes. Good sublimation fastness and moderate lightfastness properties were achieved with all dyes on both fabrics. From net electrophilicity index and calculated energies, the azo tautomer was more stable than the respective hydrazone tautomer in a vacuum.

Translation as Movement: Migration and Notions of “Home”
Authors: Vidal Ricarda , Perteghella Manuela
Published: December 2018

Notions of “home” in Europe are becoming more fluid, being challenged and reshaped by unprecedented migration. This chapter discusses the impact of migration on these notions by drawing on research produced during our collaborative project Talking Transformations. In Talking Transformations, poetry about aspects of “home” was sent into a linguistic and artistic “migration,” which involved translation into different languages and into film art. Translated poetry and artworks, as well as vocal recordings of the poems, travelled to and from the EU countries that feature most in migration into and out of the UK-for migration to the UK, Romania and Poland; for migration from the UK, France and Spain. The works were exhibited in festivals and other public events in the UK in summer 2018. The use of “translation” as the underpinning framework for our project stems from its critical relevance to “motion”: as practice, translation signifies the process whereby texts move across borders between cultural, geographical and temporal spaces. In this chapter, we discuss the changing notions of home within the framework of the project and present how the discursive and public-facing nature of Talking Transformations can contribute to a more positive and inclusive debate of migration and its impact on identity and culture.
The Default Risk Charge approach to regulatory risk measurement processes
Authors: Bonollo Michele , Persio Luca Di , Prezioso Luca
Published: December 2018

In the present paper we consider the Default Risk Charge (DRC) measure as an effective alternative to the Incremental Risk Charge (IRC) one, proposing its implementation by a quasi exhaustive-heuristic algorithm to determine the minimum capital requested to a bank facing the market risk associated to portfolios based on assets issued by several financial agents. While most of the banks use the Monte Carlo simulation approach and the empirical quantile to estimate this risk measure, we provide new computational approaches, exhaustive or heuristic, currently becoming feasible because of both the new regulation and to the high speed - low cost technology available nowadays. Concrete algorithms and numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.
A multivariate version of Williamson’s theorem, ℓ1-symmetric survival functions, and generalized Archimedean copulas
Authors: Ressel Paul
Published: December 2018

Williamson’s integral representation of n-monotone functions on the half-line is generalized to several dimensions. This leads to a characterization of multivariate survival functions with multiply ℓ1- symmetry. We then introduce a new class of generalized Archimedean copulas, where in contrast to nested Archimedean copulas no extra compatibility conditions for their generators are required.
Tribological Properties of Chemical Vapor Deposited Diamond Film on YT14 Cemented Carbide under Water Lubrication Condition
Authors: Dejun Kong , Ling Zhang
Published: December 2018

A diamond film was deposited on YT14 cemented carbide using chemical vapor deposition technique. The surface and cross-section morphologies and chemical compositions of obtained diamond film were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectroscopy, Raman spectroscope, and X–ray diffractometer, respectively. The friction and wear tests of diamond film under the water lubrication condition were conducted using a wear tester with the minimum quantity lubrication system, and the effects of wear loads on tribological properties of diamond film were also discussed. The results show that the chemical vapor deposited diamond film is primarily composed of diamond (111) peak, and its hardness, elastic modulus, bonding strength, and roughness are 16.27 GPa, 166.18 GPa, 26.2 N, and 79.2 nm, respectively. Under the water lubrication condition, the average coefficients of friction (COF) of diamond film under the wear loads of 4, 6, and 8 N are 0.117, 0.139, and 0.163, respectively, and the corresponding wear rates of diamond film under the wear loads of 4, 6, and 8 N are 3.87 × 10−7, 4.26 × 10−7, and 4.67 × 10−7 mm3/N • m. This shows that the average COFs and wear rates increase with an increase of wear loads and that the wear mechanism is abrasive wear.
Some Practical Aspects of Digital Image Correlation Technique to Evaluate Anisotropy Coefficient and Its Comparison with Traditional Method
Authors: Hedayati N. , Hashemi R.
Published: December 2018

Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a robust method that is used to evaluate full-field displacements. In this technique, images taken from the specimen are compared before and after deformation; this method provides an accurate displacement field as well as strain values. The objective of the present work is to examine the DIC method using the traditional method of calculating the plastic anisotropy coefficients. In this research, the DIC method has been applied on one side of the specimen, and the conventional circle grid analysis technique is performed on the other side. Results showed that the fully automated 2-D DIC method in MATLAB (MathWorks, Natick, MA) was verified and that it could replace the traditional technique of circle grid analysis, which is time consuming and incurs a lot of human errors.
Intaljo s rta Ploče u svjetlu novih saznanja
Authors: Travčić Anita
Published: December 2018

Tijekom arheoloških istraživanja na rtu Ploči od 1996. do 1998., pronađeni su uz keramiku i brojni osobni predmeti, između ostalog i osam gema. Jedna od njih, po izvedbi intaljo, izrađena je od karneola i ovalnog je oblika, a u nedostatku analogija dosad je interpretirana kao „vrlo stilizirana Himera”.

Članak donosi nove spoznaje koje se prvenstveno temelje na stilskoj analizi i ikonografskoj reinterpretaciji. Analizom je redefinirano porijeklo intalja pa se umjesto dosadašnje pretpostavke o radu egipatske provenijencije, određuje njegovo srednje italsko porijeklo. Predložena je nova datacija, smještajući ga u 2. st. pr. Kr., a dopunjena je i pretpostavka o grčkim pomorcima kao posjetiteljima Diomedova svetišta, točnije, o stanovnicima Velike Grčke kao njegovim mogućim korisnicima.
Sveti Frane u Zadru - arhitektura crkve i samostana u doba gotike i renesanse
Authors: Vežić Pavuša
Published: December 2018

Autor raspravlja o arhitekturi izvornog oblika crkve i samostana Sv. Frane u Zadru te njihovom preoblikovanju u vremenu gotike i renesanse. Analizom objavljenih povijesnih podataka i sačuvanih graditeljskih elemenata zaključuje da je do danas očuvana matrica kompleksa nastala u vremenu od sredine 13. do početka 14. stoljeća kada su izgrađene crkva i sakristija te s njima samostanska krila i prvotni klaustar.

Bitnu tipološku odliku crkve čini njezin troapsidalni začelni sklop koji autor dovodi u vezu s gotičkom arhitekturom franjevaca i dominikanaca iz Umbrije i Veneta 13. stoljeća. Sakristija, u kojoj je 1358. godine potpisan Zadarski mir, bila je ujedno kapela Sv. Ludovika i kapitularna dvorana. Njeno znatno preuređenje te opremanje kora i svetišta crkve uslijedilo je potkraj 14. stoljeća kada je samostan odlukom generalnog kapitula u Kölnu 1393. godine postao sjedište franjevačke Provincije sv. Jeronima u Dalmaciji. Preuređenje kora okončano je sredinom 15. stoljeća izgradnjom Dalmatinčeva podiuma na mjestu pretpostavljene ranije pregrade.
Kule na ulazu u Kanal sv. Ante – neodvojivi dio šibenskih fortifikacija
Authors: Glavaš Ivo , Šprljan Ivo
Published: December 2018

Velika i Mala kula na početku šibenskog Kanala sv. Ante, na današnjim rtovima Burnji i Južni turan, dio su srednjovjekovnog fortifikacijskog sustava grada zajedno s kaštelom sv. Mihovila i gradskim bedemima, čemu do sada u znanstvenoj literaturi nije posvećena dovoljna pažnja. Kule su ostale dijelom fortifikacijskog sustava Šibenika i početkom ranog novog vijeka sve do izgradnje tvrđave sv. Nikole, odnosno definitivnog rušenja kula početkom Ciparskog rata 1570. godine. Iako su građene na priličnoj udaljenosti od gotovo jednog kilometra od gradskih bedema, do izgradnje tvrđave sv. Nikole predstavljale su prvi obrambeni pojas Šibenika s morske strane. Između kula na udaljenosti od oko 140 metara nalazio se lanac koji se najvjerojatnije sastojao od povezanih drvenih trupaca što su lancu omogućavali da pluta. Teško je sa sigurnošću kazati kad su mletačke vlasti dale porušiti kule, ali se čini da je barem jedna srušena tijekom tzv. Trećeg mletačko-osmanskog rata (1537. – 1540.) kad je mletačkim posjedima u Dalmaciji prijetila velika opasnost od snažne osmanske flote. Kule su definitivno prestale biti dio fortifikacijskog sustava grada početkom Ciparskog rata 1570. godine.

Published: December 2018

Unutar skupine manje poznatih stranih slikara prisutnih u međuratnom razdoblju kod nas, slikar Aleksej Hanzen ističe se svojim umjetničkim aktivnostima. Rus Aleksej Hanzen (Odesa, 2. 2. 1876. – 19. 10. 1937., Dubrovnik) u Hrvatsku je imigrirao 1920. godine i tu ostao do kraja života. Gotovo dva desetljeća provedena u Hrvatskoj obilježio je intenzivnim radom, izlažući na brojnim izložbama organiziranim gotovo svake godine u Zagrebu, zatim u Splitu, Osijeku, Dubrovniku, Ljubljani, Beogradu, Parizu, Buenos Airesu, Pragu i dr. Hanzenove slike nalazile su se u građanskim domovima, javnim i muzejskim zbirkama te na kraljevskim dvorovima, a danas se čuvaju u različitim kolekcijama u Hrvatskoj. Početkom dvadesetog stoljeća studirao je slikarstvo u Münchenu, Berlinu i Dresdenu, a potom nastavlja svoju umjetničku edukaciju u Parizu u atelijerima Tonyja Robert-Fleuryja i Julesa Lefebvrea. Unuk je slavnog ruskog marinista Ivana Kostantinoviča Ajvazovskog, a i sam se specijalizirao za slikanje marina, kojima se predstavljao na različitim izložbama od 1901. godine. Za svoj rad nagrađivan je u Parizu i u Rusiji, a bio je službeni slikar ruske ratne mornarice od 1910. godine.

In China, the oil and natural gas resources of Bohai Sea are mainly marginal oil fields. It is necessary to build both ice-resistant and economical offshore platforms. So, several simple offshore oil platforms with a jacket sub-structure or with a single pillar have been deployed. There are very good economic benefits in the manufacture, installation, removal, and other aspects. These platforms were primarily designed to withstand extreme static ice forces. However, sea ice motion can induce significant vibrations for the platforms in the region. The structural ice-resistant performances have not been well developed. In this paper, combined with the field monitored data of some simple platforms in Bohai Sea, ice-induced vibrations are analyzed. The results show that even though these structures may effectively resist extreme static ice forces, the ice-induced acceleration is more significant. Then, spectral-based method is provided to analyze the fatigue life of a real simple platform. Lastly, the ice-resistant strategy is presented, which provides a basis for the design of these platforms in ice zone.

Leadership roles in sustaining effective management have recently become paramount due to the need to keep up with the fast technical and societal developments. Moreover, business sectors in the postcommunist transformation settings are facing distinct leadership challenges suggesting a different pattern of leadership behaviour. The main contribution of this study was to build on follower-centric approach in leadership and investigate followers’ diversity in regard to leader behaviour preferences as a means to benchmark followers’ attitudes in the post-communist country still undergoing societal cultural shift. The purpose of the study was to investigate the leadership behaviours in Lithuanian cultural context. This study used 129 responses to the Leader Behaviour Description Questionnaire XII in order to identify the followers’ preferences of the leadership behaviour. ANOVA and correlation analyses were used to identify how followers’ age, level of education, and gender are related to leadership behaviour. The results indicated significant differences in regard to gender and education level of the follower towards the desired leader behaviour. However, the age of the follower did not affect leader behaviour preferences. This indicates that followers in Lithuania have diverse attitudes towards perception of effective leadership. Studying leader behaviour within the context of the followers’ socio-demographic characteristics contributes to the increase of knowledge about leadership behaviour in post-communist emerging economies.
Impact of Core-self Evaluation and Job Satisfaction on Turnover Intentions: a Study of Indian Retail Sector
Authors: Chhabra Bindu
Published: December 2018

Attrition is the major problem in the Indian Retail Industry which experienced the attrition rate of 19.4% in FY 2016 according to KPMG Annual Compensation Trends Survey 2017-18. The focus of these organizations is to reduce turnover by focusing on the underlying factors leading to turnover intentions and actual turnover. The present study was conducted to explore the effect of job satisfaction and core self-evaluation on turnover intentions. The purpose of the study was also to see if core self-evaluation (CSE) moderates the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions. The study was conducted using structured questionnaires for measuring the above-mentioned variables. The sample of the study was 347 salespersons from various retail organizations working in Delhi and NCR. Hierarchical multiple regression showed that both job satisfaction and CSE were negatively related to turnover intentions. Also, CSE was found to moderate the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions such that the relationship was stronger for the employees with low core self-evaluation. The present study has important implications for policy makers in the retail sector. Managers should use strategies to increase job satisfaction in order to curb high attrition in this sector. They must be aware of the moderating role played by personality attributes in the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions.
Brand Personality Scale: is It Applicable for a Small Emerging Country?
Authors: Dikcius Vytautas , Seimiene Eleonora , Casas Ramunas
Published: December 2018

In Lithuania, a small emerging country, up to now the J.Aaker brand personality scale has been used without a proper validation. Previous researchers have made conclusions that the J.Aaker brand personality scale is both culture- and country-sensitive. Moreover, some studies show that not all dimensions might be suitable for measuring brand personality in a specific country or cross-cultural studies. Therefore, this paper aims to adapt and validate the scale proposed by J. Aaker in a context of a small emerging country. The scale validation takes place in several stages: starting with a qualitative study, involving experts, and finishing with an extensive quantitative study in three product categories. The research has revealed that in the Lithuanian context, the brand personality scale is composed of three dimensions, such as Sincerity, Modernity-Excitement and Competence. The scale, valid for a small emerging country, consists of 13 instead of 42 traits.
State capitalism, economic systems and the performance of state owned firms

In this paper, we pursue two related research questions. First, we enquire whether state owned enterprises (SOEs) perform better than privately owned firms in a large variety of emerging markets. To test this, we develop a unique dataset using firm-level data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES), resulting in a sample of over 50,000 firms from 57 understudied countries including emerging capitalist, former socialist and state capitalist ones. Our results suggest that SOEs do display productivity advantages over private firms in these understudied economies. Our second research question asks whether the performance of state owned firms in these understudied countries is context specific, namely whether performance depends on the institutional system into which a country is classified. We refer to these systems as configurations. In particular, we are interested in whether state owned firms perform better in “state capitalist” countries including China and Vietnam. We find empirical support for the argument that the “state-led” configuration provides better institutional support for the ownership advantages of SOEs than others.
Growth and development – catching up
Authors: Hare Paul
Published: December 2018

Economists think they know a great deal about economic growth, both about why countries differ so much in their growth experience, and what needs to be done to get a country on track for faster growth, raising living standards. However, while there are many important theories about growth, and numerous country case studies of outstanding and sustained performance, there are also still too many countries that grow slowly if at all, where economic performance has somehow become ‘stuck’ at a low level. In the development context, a major policy concern is often to create enough jobs in a given period to employ all or most of those entering the labour force, preferably productively. Thus growth is not just about expanding aggregate output (GDP) but also about large-scale job creation. In the transition economy context, there was not only the complex matter of switching to a market-type economy in quite a short time, but generating growth and employment to catch up with more prosperous neighbours to the West. This has proved harder than many expected.

Kolodko himself has written much about many aspects of economic growth, and has also contributed in important ways to concrete policy formation in Poland (especially when he served as Minister of Finance). In this paper I shall explore the ideas and challenges indicated above, drawing on Kolodko’s work as appropriate, but also developing some new ideas that seem to be needed to understand better both growth successes and growth failures around the world.
A vital people: A necessity for a good economy
Authors: Phelps Edmund E.
Published: December 2018

Economics at its core is about human life in human economies. The difficulty is that economies have continued to evolve and economics has lagged behind. Modern life invaded societies in the 19th century: first in Britain and America, later in Germany and France. Increasing numbers were driven not just by a work ethic or a desire to accumulate: They were dreamers, tinkerers, and adventurers on a journey, exercising their imagination, creativity, and curiosity. This indigenous innovation, coming from the grassroots up, was the foundation of modern life which brought people satisfactions that went beyond material rewards. It is time economics has caught up to restore the dynamism and vitality necessary for people to enjoy not only a Good Life but also a Good Economy.
Direct Synthesis of Multi-layer MoS\(_2\) Nanodots by Chemical Vapor Deposition
Authors: Anh Vuong Vy , Manh Hung Chu
Published: December 2018

The current work reports a direct synthesis of multi-layer MoS2 nanodots by a chemical vapor deposition method. The morphological, structural and optical properties of the growing MoS2 are investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Raman and Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, respectively. High magnification FESEM image reveals a layer of MoS2 nanodots with the average size of about 10 nm. Resonance Raman data exhibits the two active E12g and A1g modes corresponding to in-plane variation of Mo and S atoms centered at 383.3 cm-1 and to out of plane variation of S atoms located at 407.1 cm-1, respectively. The spacing between two peaks is about 23.8 cm-1, which can be used to evaluate the number of MoS2 layer. The Raman spectrum also indicates any intensity enhancement of the A1g peak compared to the E12g peak. This result is elucidated through the quantum confinement effect. The PL emission shows a pronounced peak at 505 nm that is significant blue shift compared to single MoS2 layer. The interpretation of this phenomena is discussed in detail.

Authors: DE SOUZA FABIANA LOPES
Published: December 2018

Este texto parte de um recorte da pesquisa que foi desenvolvida junto ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Artes Visuais/Mestrado – UFPel, na qual se objetivou investigar as percepções, os sentidos e a construção de identidades de alunos do quinto ano do ensino fundamental em contato com as imagens da cultura visual contemporânea. Procurei ainda verificar as possibilidades de mudança na apreensão destas imagens, proporcionadas pelas atividades desenvolvidas nas aulas de Artes Visuais, por meio de uma educação crítica e estética. As referências fundamentais são: Hernández (2000; 2007), que aborda a importância do trabalho com as imagens da cultura visual na escola ; Hall (2005), que trata das questões de identidade cultural na perspectiva de um mundo pós-moderno e Meira e Pillotto (2010) que refletem sobre o afeto como fator essencial nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem. Os dados foram coletados através de registros fotográficos, das imagens produzidas pelos alunos e dos relatos escritos pelos mesmos. Fundamentados com base no referencial proposto, os dados da pesquisa revelaram que é possível realizar um trabalho utilizando imagens e objetos do cotidiano dos estudantes, promovendo uma educação crítica e estética dos alunos a partir destas visualidades. Ainda, é relevante salientar que os estudantes demonstraram processos de identificação, pertencimento e afetos e memórias em relação às imagens escolhidas por eles para o trabalho realizado em sala de aula.

O investimento em eficiência energética de edifícios tem sido um assunto prioritário, incluindo nos órgãos públicos. O tema é importante pelo potencial de aliar economia de energia com redução de custos, quanto por dar exemplo de boas práticas para a sociedade. Esta pesquisa buscou identificar oportunidades de melhorias em eficiência energética em um edifício público do Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo. Os dados do estudo de caso foram coletados em entrevistas não estruturadas e visitas técnicas, e por exame de documentação relacionada. Para avaliação da eficiência energética foi usado o método prescritivo da etiquetagem PROCEL-Edifica. A envoltória foi caracterizada com a etiqueta D, a iluminação a etiqueta C e o condicionamento de ar a etiqueta B. A classificação geral do prédio foi etiqueta C. Algumas das potenciais melhorias identificadas foram: mudança de lâmpadas fluorescentes para LED, alteração no circuito de iluminação de salas, uso de filmes polarizados nos vidros, melhoria no sombreamento vertical e horizontal das fachadas da torre pela utilização de elementos que diminuam a incidência direta da luz solar, como brises. O tempo de retorno de investimento para algumas melhorias foi calculado, indicando possíveis ações prioritárias.
