Published: September 2020

Would you know what to do if you saw a two-foot-tall, 100-pound exotic rodent strolling through your neighborhood? It’s highly unlikely, but, depending on your location, not absolutely impossible. Capybaras, the world’s largest rodents, are native to South America but have been spotted in the state of Florida and may have potential to establish populations here. This 5-page fact sheet written by Brandon Parker, C. Jane Anderson, Christina Romagosa, Samantha Wisely, Daniel Pearson, John Seyjagat, and Katherine Ashley Sayler and published by the UF/IFAS Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation describes capybaras, explains how they got to Florida, and shows where the semiaquatic, herbivorous rodents have been sighted so far. edis.ifas.ufl.edu/uw438
Soil Preparation and Liming for Vegetable Gardens
Authors: Stephens James M. , Liu Guodong
Published: September 2020

Probably the most physical part of vegetable gardening is preparing the soil for planting. In large gardens, mechanical equipment, such as rototillers or tractor-drawn plows, often is necessary, and it may be practical to rent such equipment or hire someone. However, in smaller gardens, the task can be accomplished with a spade, spading fork, or shovel. Much depends on the type of roots and vegetation that must be removed.

TÜRKİYE’DE EĞİTİM, STATÜ VE SOSYAL HAREKETLİLİK
Authors: Altın Muhterem
Published: September 2020

Eğitim kurumunun çok sayıda işlevi vardır. Bu işlevlerden biri de bireylere bir statü kazandırmak ve sosyal hareketliliği sağlamaktır. Devletler eğitim sistemlerini planlarken kendi önceliklerine göre birden fazla hedef tespit ederler. Ancak devletlerin eğitim sisteminden çok sayıda beklentisi olmasına karşın, bireyler daha çok eğitim yoluyla bir statü kazanmak ve bu yolla toplum içinde daha iyi bir konum elde etmek amacıyla hareket ederler. Özellikle başka bir yolla iyi bir statü kazanma imkânı olmayan bireyler için eğitim, statü kazanmanın en önemli aracıdır. Aynı zamanda birçok birey için eğitim toplum içindeki konumlarını değiştirmenin ve böylece sosyal hareketliliğe katılmanın da tek yoludur. Türkiye’de de bireylere verilen örgün ve yaygın eğitimin birden fazla amacı vardır. Bu amaçlardan biri de bireyleri bir meslek sahibi yapmaktır. Dolayısıyla bireyler aldıkları eğitim aracılığıyla bir meslek sahibi olacak, böylece bir statü kazanacaklardır. Ancak gelinen noktada, Türkiye’de eğitimin bireylere ne kadar statü kazandırdığı ve eğitim yoluyla kazanılan statülerin özellikle yukarı doğru olan sosyal hareketlilikte ne derece etkili olduğunu tartışmak gerekir. Çünkü mevcut veriler Türkiye’de eğitiminin statü kazandırma işlevinin giderek azaldığını göstermektedir. Eğitimin bu işlevini kaybetmesi halinde toplumun eğitime karşı olan tutumunun nasıl olacağı konusu da son derece önemlidir. Buradan hareketle eğitim alanındaki uygulamaların ve verilerin değerlendirilmesi suretiyle yapılan bu çalışmanın üç amacının olduğu söylenebilir. Birincisi Türkiye’de eğitim sisteminin bireylere statü kazandırma ve sosyal hareketliliği sağlama işlevinde bir azalma olup olmadığını tartışmaktır. İkincisi böyle bir işlev kaybının olması halinde toplumun eğitime olan bakışının nasıl olacağını ve bu durumun olası sonuçlarını ortaya koymaktır. Üçüncüsü ise ulaşılan sonuçlar ışığında bazı önerilerde bulunmaktır.
Epicureanism: The Pursuit of Eudemonia
Authors: Kassis Annetta
Published: September 2020

Since ancient times, the study of eudemonia has been paramount in the discipline of philosophy. Various schools of thought have developed ideas and theories that discuss the nature of this happiness and methods of attaining it.

A famous school of thought, which presents such theories, is that of Epicureanism; founded by Epicurus. Epicureanism asserts a strong focus on the necessity of ‘ataraxia’ and the fulfillment of necessary pleasures for the acquisition of eudemonia. The human condition is explored to understand the nature of happiness and discover methods of achieving this happiness, which according to Epicureanism, heavily involves ones beliefs and judgments, emotions, desires and virtue.
Does Artwork Have to be Beautiful?
Authors: Benedicta Maier Mary
Published: September 2020

Beauty’s relation to art work is a contentious problem for the philosophy of art. The problem is not new to the history of philosophy. Hume and Kant attempted to tackle the question in the modern era. Contemporary philosophers have broadened the definition of art to include works that stretch modern philosophers’ conceptions. With philosophers shifting their definition from the object to the subject, they have effectively marginalized beauty in place of another good or valued concept.

Considering the status quo, this paper argues that beauty is a necessary condition for art work. It argues that philosophers have a problem when their broad definition of art disregards the beautiful to incorporate art work that is intentionally ugly or is only considered art work because of its being on display. Comparing the focus of other philosophical disciplines with philosophy of art’s focus on beauty, it argues that philosophy of art blurs its vision when it directs its gaze to that other than to its proper transcendental.

Examining the intelligent and elevating characteristics of the art form of sculpture, the paper compares two famous works: Michelangelo’s Pietà and Warhol’s Brillo Boxes. Because the sculptor is able to communicate the beauty of creation through his art work, a philosophy of art that changes its questions to incorporate existing objects that are deemed “art” has not fully addressed the problem of beauty’s place in art work.
What is Grace and What Grace is Given in the Sacraments?
Authors: Agostino Rosamaria
Published: September 2020

The Catholic understanding of the word grace is extremely rich and multifaceted. A more focused exploration of grace from its biblical roots to its use in the sacraments provides one with a profoundly humble appreciation of how deeply grace is interwoven into the faith and how undeserving yet privileged one is to be able to receive it. This understanding allows grace to manifest itself more clearly in the everyday life of the believer and continue to deepen their faith. The sacraments play an important role in this as they are where grace is received, restored, nourished and maintained.

The Taste and Perfume of the Virgin: Mary and the Nuptial Meaning of Eucharistic Sacramentality
Authors: Custodio Noel
Published: September 2020

If we are to understand the Eucharist as the Body of Christ, it is necessary to explore how Mary’s own body participates in the Eucharistic mystery. Such a discussion was prominent during the Middle Ages, but today there is very little attention given to the relationship between Mary and the the Eucharist.

This paper will explore this subject through the lens of a theology of the sacramental principle. By examining recent papal documents as well as John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, this paper will argue that Mary is the perfect fulfilment of the sacramental principle. The sacramental principle fulfilled is a principle that is nuptial, where the Eucharist expresses the wedding point between God and creation. It is Mary who unveils this mystery in her own person and body.
Divine Impassibility: A Comparison of Weinandy's and Culpepper's Perspectives on Whether God Suffers
Authors: Flynn Elizabeth
Published: September 2020

From being generally regarded as a philosophical and theological impossibility, since the late nineteenth century the idea that God suffers has become popular and attractive among a vast array of Christian theologians. Due to this shift, many theologians no longer see the need to argue for it and divine passibility has even been called the ‘new orthodoxy.’ The matter has not yet been laid to rest and is made more complex because the terms ‘suffering’ and ‘impassibility’ are used with a variety of connotations.

At the heart of the debate is the desire to assert God’s personalised love for all human beings. If suffering is intrinsic to love, as some ‘passibilists’ state, only a suffering God can also be a God who loves humankind absolutely and unconditionally. Also at stake is the salvation of human beings. For some, a suffering God necessarily implies His lack of transcendence and thus His impotence. From their perspective, Jesus suffers only in His humanity. The divine attributes of omnipotence and immutability are wholly unaffected by the crucifixion. For others, the intimacy of the hypostatic union makes it possible to attribute suffering to the Son in His divinity. Furthermore, by deciding to grant free will to humankind, God makes Himself vulnerable; the eternal knowledge of the divine permission for evil establishes an ‘eternal wound’ in God. This essay will examine the contrasting positions of Thomas Weinandy and Gary Culpepper to assess how it can be said that God must or must not suffer.
An Examination of the Significance of the Trinitarian Theology of St. Augustine
Authors: Salontai Zolt
Published: September 2020

Despite the noble efforts of modern Christian theologians in attempting to revive popular level interest in the classical Christian doctrine of the Trinity, there has been within the everyday praxis of the individual Christian a discernible neglect and ignorance of this cardinal doctrine. However, with the 20th century advent of Freudian and Jungian psychology, a new opportunity has arisen for a Trinitarian revival in the popular consciousness of the faithful.

Due to an increasing level of interest in the notion of understanding the conscious and unconscious cognitive processes that govern the human psyche, there arose an indubitable opportunity for a re-examination of the Trinitarian theology of those writers who based their Trinitarian discourse upon the self-consciousness of man as created in the image of God. Therefore, the essential function of this paper is to explore the Trinitarian theology of St. Augustine, who being the originator of psychological analogies in Trinitarian discourse warrants exceptional contemporary interest given the aforementioned increased receptivity to psychological self-awareness.

Authors: Sitepu Nadroh Br , Harahap Urip
Published: September 2020

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is a disorder of the cardiovascular system, characterized by atherosclerotic lesions. Inflammation is a strong predictor for coronary heart disease. High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) is an important biomarker, synthesized in the liver, can predict the severity of CHD. If the hs-CRP level is found to be low 3 mg / L, a person has the potential for severe vascular risk. Therefore, hs-CRP can be used as a predictor of primary CHD prevention, especially if the hs-CRP level is still low.

Morning call of siamang (Symphalangus syndactyllus) in Subayang River, Riau – Indonesia
Authors: Zulamri
Published: September 2020

Morning call in siamang is very important for the  life of siamang. This behavior is important to mark its territory, communicate with neighboring groups, etc. The this research aims to determine the time of vocalization, the position of trees and the strata canopy used by gibbons in vocalization. This research was conducted in WWF Indonesia Central Sumatra Research Station Subayang Camp at Rimbang Baling Wildlife Reserve for 2 months from July until August 2017 using Visual Encounter Survey (VES) method. From this research we knew that morning call in siamang  usually occurs from 08.00 am – 10.00 am in the morning. Siamang appears to choose emergent tree in the forest ridge or emergent tree on the hill slope to do vocalization.  During vocalization, siamang tends to use the 3rd and the 4th strata or upper canopy layer and emergent layer which are  higher than 20 m from the forest surface. This height facilitates the siamang to maximize transmission of the vocalization to the surrounding area and communicate with other groups.

This study was aimed to determine the mango diversity in Bengkulu using morphological characters.  All of the speciemens were collected from the field using exploration method that conducted from September 2016 to March 2017.  A total of 17 individuals of mango were examined, and classified into seven mango species. The examination was conducted on the morphological characters, these characters were then scored and analyzed using NTSYSpc 2.02. The coefficient of similarity of 17 mango trees ranges from 0.45 to 0.80. Dendrogram showed that the clustering of mango was not based on the origin of the population but based on the morphological characters. The first group comprises six individuals and the second group consists of 11 individuals

Authors: Riyanto
Published: September 2020

Fish is kinds of food that easy to spoil. High protein content in fish makes the food is a good medium for microorganisms. People commonly buy fish for consumption, however, not all fish are consumed at the same time. Fishes were stored in freezer for several days or preserved with additional chemical preservation. The use of organic preservatives have no harm. This paper discussed guava (Psidium guajava L) leave as natural fish preservation. The objectives were to analyze the potency of the leaves as a natural preservation for mackerel fish (Rastrelliger sp.). Fime parameters used to determine the fish quality as follows : gills, eye, texture, odour and mucilage. The treatments were leaf methanolic extract with doses 0, 20, 40, 60 and 80%. Data were taken on from 1 to 5 days after storage. The results showed that (i) Fish quality was decline and start to depraved at 2 day storage, especially at control treatment (0% extract). Treatment at doses 60 and 80%, the fish quality were still relatively good over 3 days storage. Even though the fish samples have been starting spoilage, those fishes were still available to be consumed. At the same time, with the other treatment, the fish samples have been spoiled and no more available to be consumed. However, at 5th day of storage, all samples at all treatments were spoiled. Overall results, it can be concluded that extract of guava leaves can be has as fish preservativedosage

Published: September 2020

La sistemaatizzazione dell’assistenza infermieristica è un modo organizzato di prendersi cura e raggiungere la qualità nella cura offerta. Questo studio mira a segnalare la pertinenza della SAE per l’assistenza infermieristica, identificandone i benefici per l’assistenza infermieristica e il cliente. Questa è una recensione della letteratura. La ricerca è stata sviluppata sulla base di libri, riviste e articoli scientifici disponibili su Internet e nelle banche dati; LILACS e SCIELO. Per la raccolta dei dati, sono state utilizzate le seguenti parole chiave: SAE, care and nursing process. I dati sono stati raggruppati e organizzati per un semplice trattamento statistico descrittivo. Il 100% degli autori ritiene che i benefici di ASS definisano la strategia di definizione dello spazio/campo d’azione dell’infermiera che giustifica l’esistenza di un tale professionista nel team multidisciplinare. Il 60% affermano che SAE porta il consolidamento della scienza infermieristica, il riconoscimento e la valorizzazione del professionista infermieristico. Il 40% dice di organizzare cure/assistenza infermieristica. Il 100% ritiene che porti benefici al cliente, come: cure individualizzate, organizzate, umanizzate, rileva diagnosi precococo, cure infermieristiche fatte correttamente, riduce l’infezione e i clienti ricoverati in ospedale rimangono. Anche se è già regolamentato dalla risoluzione COFEN 358/09 ed è un requisito del Consiglio federale infermieristico per SAE non è ancora utilizzato né fa parte del lavoro di molti infermieri e istituzioni sanitarie nel paese, ma la negligenza di SAE è la ragione principale per l’omissione, la disorganizzazione e la mancanza di fiducia delle azioni infermieristiche.

Authors: De la Unión Europea Subdirección General de Asuntos Económicos y Financieros
Published: September 2020

La crisis económica desatada por la pandemia de la COVID-19 ha supuesto un reto sin precedentes para la Unión Europea. Sin embargo, y a diferencia de lo ocurrido en la anterior crisis, la Unión Europea se ha movilizado para dar una respuesta conjunta que ha logrado articular en unos pocos meses. Esto resulta esencial para garantizar la igualdad de oportunidades de los distintos países en la fase de recuperación, independientemente de su capacidad individual de apoyar sus economías, evitando así la creación de nuevas divergencias. En este artículo se presentan, en primer lugar, las medidas europeas a los retos a corto plazo y, en segundo lugar, se describe el plan de recuperación económica que busca allanar el camino para una recuperación simétrica con una perspectiva de medio plazo. La conclusión fundamental es que la Unión Europea ha sabido estar a la altura del reto, ofreciendo una respuesta rápida y eficiente, aunque persiste la necesidad de abordar reformas profundas en el diseño de la Unión para mejorar su capacidad de respuesta ante futuras crisis.

Integracja zarządzania ryzykiem w sektorach kreatywnych
Authors: Woźniak Jacek
Published: September 2020

Zasadniczym celem

badania jest oszacowanie średniego poziomu integracji zarządzania ryzykiem w

przedsiębiorstwach innowacyjnych z sektorów kreatywnych w Polsce - na podstawie

przedsiębiorstw z tzw. podsektora usług kreatywnych. Przedmiotem badania był

obszar tzw. ryzyka realizacji projektu - z perspektywy przedsiębiorstwa, które

realizuje portfel projektów (tj. innowacji). W badaniach empirycznych

zastosowano technikę CATI oraz statystyczną analizę danych. Do badań

kwalifikowane były przedsiębiorstwa należące do podsektora usług kreatywnych

oznaczone następującą numeracją PKD: 62.01.Z (działalność związana z

oprogramowaniem), 71.11.Z (działalność w zakresie architektury), 73.11.Z

(działalność agencji reklamowych) oraz 74.10.Z (działalność w zakresie

specjalistycznego projektowania). Próba badawcza liczyła 200 przedsiębiorstw. W

celu oszacowania poziomu integracji zarządzania ryzykiem został skonstruowany

wskaźnik kompozytowy WIZR (wskaźnik integracji zarządzania ryzykiem) z

wykorzystaniem metody analizy czynnikowej. Badania wykazały, że przedsiębiorstwa

odznaczają się niskim poziomem integracji zarządzania ryzykiem - pomimo tego,

że respondenci są z reguły świadomi znaczenia poszczególnych działań

podejmowanych w ramach zarządzania ryzykiem. Niemniej jednak można przyjąć, że

badane przedsiębiorstwa stosują swoistą „optymalizację zarządzania ryzykiem”,

sprowadzającą się do podejmowania działań rzeczywiście przynoszących korzyści.

Tym samym nie jest obserwowany „przerost” struktur zarządzania ryzykiem i

integracji zarządzania ryzykiem.
Wpływ marki i zakotwiczenia cenowego oraz przekonań moralnych na postrzeganie cen produktów podrabianych
Authors: Wanat Tomasz
Published: September 2020

Kupowanie podrobionych produktów

stanowi poważne wyzwanie dla przemysłu, polityki gospodarczej i stanowienia

prawa. Z tego powodu problematyka ta przyciąga uwagę wielu naukowców,

badających jej przyczyny i konsekwencje. Głównym problemem badawczym

artykułu było określenie, w jakim zakresie poziom ceny, który może wskazywać na

podrobienie produktu, podlega moderującemu wypływowi efektu zakotwiczenia,

poziomu znajomości marki oraz przekonań moralnych nabywcy. Przeprowadzony eksperyment

wykazał, że poziom ceny sugerujący nabywcy podrobienie produktu nie jest stały.

Zależy do znajomości marki oraz dostępności informacji o cenie produktu

oryginalnego. W bardzo małym stopniu zależy od przekonań moralnych. Nawet

kupujący posiadający silne przekonania moralne szacowali ceny sugerujące

podrobienie produktu na relatywnie wysokim poziomie. Oznacza to, że byli

podatni na podrabiane produkty nie mniej niż inni nabywcy.
