Published: June 2023

Keseimbangan cairan merupakan faktor penting dalam perawatan pasien hemodialisis (HD), karena status hidrasi berkaitan dengan kualitas hidup pasien HD reguler. Pendamping pasien HD banyak yang belum memahami pentingnya menjaga keseimbangan cairan dan cara mengatur keseimbangan cairan pasien HD, maka program Pemberdayaan Kesehatan Masyarakat (PKM) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan pendamping pasien HD dalam pengaturan keseimbangan cairan untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidup pasien HD dan mengurangi angka rawat inap pasien HD. Kegiatan ini dilakukan di unit HD RSUD Sanjiwani Gianyar pada tanggal 11,13, dan 15 Oktober 2022 terhadap pendamping pasien HD yang turut serta mengantar pasien pada saat pasien menjalani HD. Metode yang digunakan adalah penyuluhan langsung dengan dialog interaktif, pemutaran video edukasi pada pendamping pasien HD, dan pembagian pamflet keseimbangan cairan  pada pasien HD. Hal ini tentunya akan dapat mengurangi angka kejadian rawat inap pasien HD akibat kelebihan cairan, sehingga mengurangi biaya perawatan maupun biaya untuk mendampingi pasien, dan meningkatkan kemampuan pasien HD menafkahi keluarga. Jumlah mitra yang terlibat adalah 71 orang, yang merupakan pendamping pasien HD yang sebagian besar adalah perempuan yaitu 69% (49 orang) yang datang mengantar pasien HD reguler. Dari hasil pre-test pada pendamping pasien hemodialisis di Unit Hemodialisis RSUD Sanjiwani Gianyar, didapatkan rerata kemampuan menjawab tentang keseimbangan cairan pasien HD adalah 36.62. Setelah dilakukan pemberian materi  tentang cairan pasien HD maka didapatkan rerata nilai post-test adalah 64,37, sehingga didapatkan rerata peningkatan kemampuan pendamping pasien HD pada pengaturan keseimbangan cairan adalah 79,58%. Hal ini telah mencapai target yaitu >75%.

COVID-19 cases in Indonesia still remain a concern, particularly for public health. Several factors, such as gender, age, comorbidity, occupation, and vaccination status, might influence COVID-19 infection. Individuals who have many predicting factors have a higher risk of being infected by COVID-19. Other studies have not yet shown the significance of predicting factors for COVID-19 infection in Indonesia. The study explored the association between the predicting factors and COVID-19 infection in Indonesia. The study used a cross-sectional method with a population of all Indonesian communities. It was conducted in August 2021 by distributing a Google Form questionnaire in Indonesia. By a saturated sampling of the population in Jawa, Sumatera, Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and Papua, 776 Indonesians were selected; they were aged > 17 years and voluntarily completed the questionnaires. whereas respondents with incomplete data were excluded from this study. The data were analyzed using a binary logistic regression test in SPSS (version 21.0). The respondents include 134 men (17.3%) and 642 women (82.7%). The binary logistic regression analysis showed that COVID-19 infection was more common among respondents who were non-health-care workers (p  0.001) and less common among those who had been fully vaccinated (p  0.001). The COVID-19 infection was significantly associated with occupation and vaccination status.

The Maternal Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein for Congenital Anomalies Screening
Authors: Pande Patria Dewi , Jusak Nugraha
Published: June 2023

Screening examination for maternal, especially serum, is a non-invasive examination of the fetus’s condition. During pregnancy, screening examinations are performed in women  recommended for ultrasonography (USG), amniocentesis, or other obstetric interventions. There are three markers for maternal serum screening:  alpha-fetoprotein, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and unconjugated estriol. Maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein is useful for screening aneuploidies and neural tube defects. This examination, besides seeing congenital abnormalities, can be used for the risk of pregnancy complications such as placental insufficiency, intrauterine growth restriction, preeclampsia, and intrauterine fetal death. Laboratory methods for examining maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein are radioimmunoassay and microparticle capture enzyme immunoassay.

PEWARISAN MUSLIM DENGAN NON-MUSLIM (Studi Analisis terhadap Metode Ijtihad Al-Qaraḍāwi)
Authors: MZ Husamuddin
Published: June 2023

Dalam fikih disebutkan ada tiga larangan mewarisi, salah satunya adalah perbedaan agama (ikhtilāf al-dayn). Jumhur fukaha berpendapat bahwa antara muslim dan non-muslim tidak saling mewarisi. Namun, ada fukaha yang membolehkan muslim mewarisi non-muslim, tetapi tidak sebaliknya. Dalam konteks kekinian, Al-Qaraḍāwi berpendapat sama dengan minoritas fukaha. Penulis tertarik meneliti bagaimana metode ijtihad yang dilakukan sehingga menghasilkan kesimpulan yang berbeda antara jumhur dan minoritas fukaha. Kemudian antara minoritas fukaha dengan Al-Qaraḍāwi yang menghasilkan kesimpulan yang sama. Metode ijtihad tersebut dianalisis dengan menggunakan empat teori yaitu; teori asas keadilan dan maslahat, teori ta’abbudi dan ta’aqquli, teori mu’aqqad dan mu’abbad, serta teori takhṣīṣ. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif analisis, dengan teknik data liblary research (penelitian kepustakaan). Dari hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa: (1) hadis larangan mewarisi antar agama adalah hadis ahad, dan hadis ahad itu merupakan ẓannī al-wurūd; (2) semua fukaha sepakat bahwa non-muslim tidak bisa mewarisi muslim. Terjadi perbedaan pendapat mengenai hukum muslim mewarisi non-muslim, akibat adanya perbedaan metode ijtihad. Minoritas fukaha dan Al-Qaraḍāwi membolehkan muslim mewarisi non-muslim, namun ada perbedaan dalam metode ijtihad yang ditempuh. Minoritas fukaha yang diwakili Ibnu Taimiyah dan Ibnu Qayyim melakukan takṣīṣ, sedangkan Al-Qaraḍāwi melakukan takwil; (3) Al-Qaraḍāwi tidak konsisten dengan pandangannya yang menyebutkan bahwa maslahat dalam pewarisan adalah menguatkan ikatan keluarga. Karena secara logika lurus, larangan dzimmī —sebagai hasil dari takwil lafaz kafir— untuk menerima warisan dari muslim, hanya memandang maslahat secara sepihak, serta rawan terjadinya keretakan hubungan dalam keluarga; (4) kebolehan mewarisi antara muslim dengan non-Muslim, tidaklah bertentangan dengan prinsip umum Al-Quran yang universal.
RELASI AGAMA DAN NEGARA: ANALISIS POLITIK NURCHOLISH MADJID
Authors: Lismijar Lismijar
Published: June 2023

Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat beberapa ide yang dipaparkan oleh Nurcholis Madjid tentang hubungan agam dan negara. Diantaranya adalah mengenai diskursus Islam dengan nation state, Islam dan Pancasila, Islam dan Demokrasi dan Islam dan Pluralisme. Salah satu bentuk formulasi pikirannya yang terkenal adalah jargon “Islam Yes, Muslim Party No!”. Jargon ini merupakan formulasi hubungan antara agama dan negara. Jargon ini juga ditujukan agar Muslim dapat memfokuskan perhatiannya pada Islam daripada kepada Institusi-institusinya. Dengan kata lain, Nurcholis Madjid mencoba mengembalikan Islam dalam bentuk Islam yang bersifat individual daripada sebuah partai Islam.

Published: June 2023

In the implementation of prayer, for example, it is often found that there are many differences, both in terms of the procedure and the determination of the pillars and circumcision. For example, such as the implementation of the dawn prayer, there are groups who say qunut is circumcision, some do not recommend it on the grounds that it is categorized as permissible work. The purpose of this paper is to find out what causes these differences and what is the basis or the evidence for each opinion. This study says that qunut in the morning prayer according to the Shafi'i school in the dawn prayer after bowing from the second raka'at is circumcision. Meanwhile, Sayid Sabiq concluded that qunut is something permissible. Read sholawat on the prophet. After the final tasyahhud, according to Sayyid Sabiq, he thought this was circumcision. Meanwhile, according to Zainuddin al-Malibary, he is of the opinion that it is mandatory. The only thing they have in common here is the matter of praying to the Prophet's family.

Authors: Yasir Muhammad
Published: June 2023

Phenomenon that occurs in society, many women who have come to know and understand about blood, this situation is very worrying because it can affect many things. One of them is divorce, where the condition of the woman who is being served affects whether or not her husband can release the divorce. The essence of the problem that the author wants to explore is the criteria for menstrual blood in the perspective of fiqh syafi`iyah and the relationship between blood and talak bid`iy in the perspective of syafi`iyyah fiqh. This research is a library research using descriptive analysis method and qualitative approach. Regarding data sources, the author only needs written data sources, namely by referring to primary and secondary sources. The primary sources of the book al-Mahalli (Kanz al-Raghibin `ala Syarh Minhaj al-Thalibin), Fath al-Wahab, Hasyiah Bujairimi` Alal-Khathiib. Meanwhile, the secondary sources of the authors take from the data that the authors search through online media or the internet. The results that the authors found; First, that blood has several criteria according to the review of fiqh shafi`iyah, these criteria are based on the age of the woman, the validity period, the character of the blood that is born which is stronger and weaker, and the condition of bleeding is normal and abnormal. Second, menstrual blood has a close relationship with bid`iy talak, because talak is only classified as bid`iy, if a person mentions his wife is right during menstruation, if it is not right during menstruation, then talak is dropped from bid`iy divorce. The author really hopes that the study that the author has described can be made new for women in particular and Muslims in general.
THE HISTORY OF THE KING'S JURISDICTION AND THE RIGHT OF THE KING'S AUTHORITY IN JUDGING (An Interpretation of the Origins of Civil and Criminal Cases)
Authors: Karimuddin Karimuddin
Published: June 2023

Judiciary in the Airlangga era was held by the king himself, and corporal punishment was only imposed by the king and on robbers and thieves. However, it also becomes a reality, justice in ancient times was also carried out by certain officials. In fact, in royal territorial law units, the head of the unit also carries out the judiciary based on customary law. Some of the results of research by Dutch experts on the existence of a separation of the judiciary during the kingdom era in Indonesia, such as the pradata court and the unified court. Pradata cases were tried or decided by the king himself while unified cases were tried by royal officials. Therefore, the author wants to examine why the king's court is different from the court of certain officials within the kingdom. So based on the results of this study, the Pradata case is a case that endangers the crown, security, and order of the kingdom, for example creating riots in the kingdom, committing murder, persecution, robbery, and others. Whereas Padu cases are cases concerning individual people's interests, for example, disputes between communities that cannot be reconciled amicably, then cases like these are tried by royal officials. The reason for distinguishing the king's court from the official court is because the cases handled by the king's court are urgent and threaten the stability and integrity of the kingdom so that the handling must be strictly enforced by the king himself. While the judiciary officials handle cases of community disputes and these cases do not threaten the existence of the kingdom, so the handling is less urgent so they are left to the officials.

In the preparation of reasoning rules, the dominie who is considered the most  meritorious is Imam al-Syafi'i. the results of Imam al-Syafi'i's thought are considered the most comprehensive and systematic, therefore to some extent considered as corrections and completions of the rules compiled and used by Imam Abu Hanifah and Imam Malik. In recent times, these rules have been supplemented and refined, especially by the scholars of the Al-Ghazali generation (fifth century hijriah) and after that in the generation of Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (sixth century Hijriah), so that they are considered standard and perfect. In this paper the author will try to explain the reasoning of the qiyasiyah ta'liliyah along with an example, namely qiyas between licking dogs on clothes, human limbs and all objects to licking dogs on vessels, because 'illat is that the dog's saliva is heavy unclean and is required to wash. seven times with water and one of them with earth or soap, which is a method of determining Islamic law.

Based on data released by BPS, the percentage of poverty in Pidie Jaya until the end of 2020 has not shown a significant decline. It is also influenced by various factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of government and the effectiveness of government programs and to determine the obstacles faced by the government in reducing poverty. Because this research is a qualitative research which analyzed descriptively, primary data can be obtained directly by interviewing several sources including the head of Baitul Mal, the Baitul Mal Secretariat in Pidie Jaya, Bappeda Employees and the PKH Committee in Pidie Jaya. While the secondary data is obtained by examining documentation in the form of books, journals, articles, websites and other research results as well as other relevant documents to help answer the problem formulation through the data. In addition, the authors also analyze the data that the authors get from internal data from various government agencies in Pidie Jaya. The technique that the writer uses to collect all the data is the technique of observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the government in reducing poverty has made various policies and roles, to optimize the performance in collaboration with several agencies such as Baitul Mal, Social Service, Bappeda and Public Works Office. It cannot be denied, that the data released by BPS shows a negative trend, however, various efforts and programs that have been carried out by the local government to reduce poverty have not been effective and in fact the program has not had optimal implications. Of course, this condition is influenced by several obstacles, including human resources, facilities and infrastructure, lack of employment opportunities, ineffective performance of state apparatus and assistance that is not well targeted.
FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI MUZAKKI DALAM MENYALURKAN ZAKAT PERNIAGAAN SECARA LANGSUNG (Studi Kasus di Pasar Beurenuen Kabupaten Pidie)
Authors: Ibrahim Ibrahim
Published: June 2023

The existence of traders who distribute their business zakat directly causes the Baitul Mal institution to be ineffective in managing and distributing zakat optimally. The potential for trade zakat must be empowered so that poverty and unemployment can be overcome. Zakat plays an important role in improving the quality of human resources. The potential for zakat owned by Aceh reaches Rp. 1.3 trillion, but in fact the absorption of zakat funds only reaches Rp. 192 billion in 2016. The occurrence of a large gap between potential zakat and the value of zakat collected indicates that there are some muzakki who distribute zakat directly. This study aims to determine the factors that influence muzakki in channeling business zakat directly and knowledge of how muzakki distribute business zakat directly. The type of research used is qualitative research while data analysis is done by means of descriptive analysis. The results of the analysis show that the factors that influence muzakki in channeling trade zakat directly are mustahik zakat at the muzakki's place of residence, lack of socialization carried out by Baitul Mal, and the absence of Baitul Mal Gampong and Settlements. Meanwhile, the knowledge of muzakki at the Beureuneun market in Pidie Regency regarding the procedures for channeling zakat is very good, they often distribute business zakat themselves by involving people who are able to provide an understanding of how to distribute business zakat directly.
Asymmetric loss function in product-level sales forecasting: An empirical comparison
Authors:   HSE university, Perm, Russia, Gogolev Stepan , Ozhegov Evgeniy ,   HSE university, Saint Petersburg, Russia
Published: June 2023

In the paper we study the behavior of models estimated using asymmetric loss function for the prediction of product‐level sales. The paper is focused on the deriving of a loss function from the newsvendor model where the cost of sales over‐ and underprediction are not equal. We describe the properties of the asymmetric loss function and validate its performance on transactional sales data. The results show that when costs of sales over‐ and underprediction are non‐equal, the prediction function obtained using asymmetric loss leads to lower economic costs compared with symmetric one. Our findings suggest implementing this type of forecasting method to predict product‐level sales in the retail and restaurant industries to better accommodate business goals when solving inventory planning tasks.
Sex-dependent differences in the neural correlates of cocaine and emotional cue-reactivity in regular cocaine users and non-drug using controls: understanding the role of duration and severity of use
Authors: Tap Stephan , Stipriaan Eila , Goudriaan Anna , Kaag Anne Marije
Published: June 2023

Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is becoming more prevalent in females, but
research into sex-dependent neural mechanisms underlying cocaine use is
lacking. Accordingly, the main objective of the current study was to
investigate sex-dependent differences in the neural correlates of
cocaine and emotional cue reactivity within regular cocaine users (CUs)
and non-cocaine-using controls (non-CUs). A cocaine and emotional
cue-reactivity fMRI paradigm was completed by 31 male and 26 female CUs
and 28 male and 26 female non-CUs. A region of interest analysis was
performed to test for sex-specific differences in cocaine and emotional
cue-induce activation of the dorsal striatum (DS), ventral striatum
(VS), amygdala, and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC). Although
there were no significant sex-dependent differences between CUs and
non-CUs in neural cocaine and emotional cue reactivity, exploratory
analyses demonstrated that the association between cocaine cue-induced
activation of the DS and amygdala and cocaine use severity was
significantly moderated by sex: while this association was positive
female CUs, it was negative in male CUs. Similarly, the relationship
between emotional cue-induced activation of the dACC and VS and years of
regular cocaine use was also moderated by sex: while this association
was negative in female CUs, it was positive in male CUs. While
exploratory, the current findings highlight the importance of taking
into account sex differences when studying the underlying mechanism of
CUD, as this may pave the way for the identification of sex-specific
treatment targets.
Foray into the topology of poly-bi-[8]-annulenylene
Authors: Muruganandam Varadharajan , Sajjan Manas , Kais Sabre
Published: June 2023

Analyzing phase transitions using the inherent geometrical attributes of
a system has garnered enormous interest over the past few decades. The
usual candidate often used for investigation is graphene- the most
celebrated material among the family of tri co-ordinated graphed
lattices. We show in this report that other inhabitants of the family
demonstrate equally admirable structural and functional properties that
at its core are controlled by their topology. Two interesting members of
the family are Cylooctatrene(COT) and COT-based polymer:
poly-bi-[8]-annulenylene both in one and two dimensions that have
been investigated by polymer chemists over a period of 50 years for its
possible application in batteries exploiting its conducting properties.
A single COT unit is demonstrated herein to exhibit topological solitons
at sites of a broken bond similar to an open one-dimensional
Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain. We observe that
Poly-bi-[8]-annulenylene in 1D mimics two coupled SSH chains in the
weak coupling limit thereby showing the presence of topological edge
modes. In the strong coupling limit, we investigate the different
parameter values of our system for which we observe zero energy modes.
Further, the application of an external magnetic field and its effects
on the band-flattening of the energy bands has also been studied. In 2D,
poly-bi-[8]-annulenylene forms a square-octagon lattice which upon
breaking time-reversal symmetry goes into a topological phase forming
noise-resilient edge modes. We hope our analysis would pave the way for
synthesizing such topological materials and exploiting their properties
for promising applications in optoelectronics, photovoltaics, and
renewable energy sources.
Basic Clinical Management of Preschool Wheeze
Authors: Bush Andrew
Published: June 2023

Pre-school wheeze is very common and often difficult to treat. Most
children do not require any investigations, only a detailed history and
physical examination to ensure an alternative diagnosis is not being
missed; the differential diagnosis, and hence investigation protocols
for the child in whom a major illness is suspected, shows geographical
variation. The pattern of symptoms may be divided into episodic viral
and multiple trigger to guide treatment, but the pattern of symptoms
must be re-assessed regularly. However, symptom patterns are a poor
guide to underlying pathology. Attention to the proper use of spacers,
and adverse environmental exposures such as tobacco smoke exposure, is
essential. There are no disease-modifying therapies, so therapy is
symptomatic. This paper reviews recent advances in treatment, including
new data on the place of leukotriene receptor antagonists, prednisolone
for acute attacks of wheeze and antibiotics, based on new attempts to
understand the underlying pathology in a way that is clinically
practical.
The effect of LLLT at 5 mW on corneal alkali burn rat model
Authors: Cho Kyong-Jin , Kim Hoon
Published: June 2023

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of 5mW low-level
light therapy (LLLT) on corneal alkali burn rat model, as no prior
research has examined this specific treatment parameter. Method:
Eighteen male SD rats were randomly assigned to three groups: control,
5-minute LLLT, and 10-minute LLLT. Corneal alkali burns were induced
using 1N NaOH, and LLLT was performed daily with an 830-nm LED device.
Ocular signs and immunohistochemistry analysis were conducted. Result:
LLLT-treated groups exhibited faster wound healing at 12 hours but had
higher cataract incidence. Neovascularization and corneal opacity scores
were significantly higher in LLLT-treated groups. Immunohistochemical
analysis showed increased IL-1β and IL-6 levels in cornea and retina.
Discussion: LLLT accelerated wound healing but increased cataract
formation, corneal opacity, neovascularization, and inflammatory
response in ocular tissues. LLLT may have therapeutic potential for
corneal alkali burns, but further studies are necessary to optimize
treatment parameters and mitigate adverse effects.

Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma is a rare extranodal non-Hodgkin
lymphoma, primarily arising in brain and spinal cord tissue,
leptomeninges and vitreoretinal eye. Pediatric PCNSLs are even rarer. We
describe the case of a boy presenting with seizures and a suspected
brain meningioma, but a final diagnosis of ALK+ Anaplastic Large Cell
Lymphoma. We conducted a qualitative systematic review following the
ENTREQ framework on pediatric cases of PCNSL, identifying only nine
cases of brain ALCL. Our work describes the high frequency of
misdiagnosis correlating with poor prognosis, and highlights the
importance of a multidisciplinary approach considering ALCL among
differential diagnosis.

Background Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common benign
tumor of infancy. For children with IH who require treatment,
propranolol and other beta blockers have been shown to be safe and
effective. Although consensus guidelines for propranolol have been
published, anecdotal experience suggests that there remain variations in
management. This study was performed to document these variations
amongst providers and to identify areas for future research.
Methods We conducted an internet-based survey of clinicians who
treat patients with IH. Characteristics of respondents were collected.
Hypothetical cases and management scenarios were presented and
respondents were ask to comment on dosing, monitoring, frequency of
follow-up, duration of therapy, whether to taper or abruptly discontinue
mediation, and which patients should get additional evaluation.
Results Twenty-nine respondents participated in the survey:
pediatric hematologists/oncologists (n= 15), pediatric cardiologists (n=
10), dermatologists (n = 2), an ophthalmologist (n = 1), and a
neonatologist (n = 1). Most respondents use generic propranolol in
infants with growing IH of the head and neck, with a goal dose of 2
mg/kg/day, until approximately one year of age. A variety of management
strategies were documented including which patients should be treated,
optimal dose and duration of therapy, how patients should be monitored,
which patients should get additional work up, how propranolol should
best be discontinued, and how often to see patients in follow-up.
Conclusions This study demonstrates wide practice variations in
managing patients with infantile hemangioma. Further research is
indicated to address these variations and develop additional/updated
evidence-based guidelines.

With the emergence of new virus variants, there is limited data
available on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection on surgery
outcomes in cancer patients who have been widely vaccinated. This study
aimed to determine whether undergoing hepatectomy poses a higher risk of
postoperative complications for liver cancer patients who have had mild
Omicron infection before surgery. A propensity-matched cohort study was
conducted at a tertiary liver center from October 8, 2022, to January
13, 2023. Totally, 238 liver cancer patients who underwent hepatectomy
were included, with 57 (23.9%) recovering from preoperative SARS-CoV-2
Omicron infection and 190 (79.8%) receiving COVID-19 vaccination. The
average time from infection to surgery was 18.7 (range 7-49) days. The
overall 30-day postoperative mortality rate was 1.7% (4/238). Pre- and
post-matching, there was no significant difference in the occurrence of
postoperative outcomes between preoperative COVID-19 recovered patients
and COVID-19 negative patients. Multivariate logistic regression showed
that the COVID-19 status was not associated with postoperative major
pulmonary and cardiac complications. However, preexisting comorbidities
(odds ratio [OR], 4.645; 95% confidence interval [CI],
1.295-16.667), laparotomy (OR, 10.572; 95% CI, 1.220-91.585), and
COVID-19 unvaccinated (OR, 5.408; 95% CI, 1.489-19.633) had increased
odds of major complications related to SARS-CoV-2 infection. In
conclusion, liver cancer patients who have recovered from preoperative
COVID-19 do not face an increased risk of postoperative complications.
Therefore, elective cancer surgery can be safely performed after
recovery for patients with a history of mild SARS-CoV-2 Omicron
infection.
Lessons learned from applied participatory practices in museums and inclusion of people from vulnerable social groups
Authors: Valic Ursa
Published: June 2023

In the article, the author reflects on contemporary museology and cultural anthropology paradigms that focus on participation and collaboration to include people from vulnerable groups in the museum work. The article presents how the paradigm shift to participation or collaboration changes the epistemological value of experiential knowledge related to cultural heritages and the way museums work. Finally, the author shows how three experimental participatory, collaborative practices in national museums with the change of perspective on people?s role from passive visitors to active collaborators also changed the perspective on their vulnerability and presented a valuable tool for better social inclusion. Through participatory approaches, museums can gain more social relevance in contemporary society.
Performances of memory in the “new normal” - commemorations without bodies in action
Authors: Djordjevic Marija
Published: June 2023

Commemorations as site-specific performances are dependent on time-limited
interaction of bodies that create space for manifestation of memory. As
social practices they have a goal of formulating a living memory of the past
that can shape the future based on the lesson learned. The need for
establishing controlled interactions was recognized as a crucial reference
point for deeper understanding of these practices and their short- and
long-term consequences. Therefore, the question can be asked if these
performances can occur if the bodies in interaction are not present within
the earlier defined performance sites and timeframes? Since March 2020
within the framework of ?new normal? we have witnessed a change towards
interactions within public space, which demands new forms of mandatory
social distance between the appearing bodies. This paper analyses
possibilities of collective part taking in spatial practices of
commemoration without being physically present. Through selected examples of
events taking place in Serbia and in Europe during the ear of the ?new
normal?, the faith of spaces, practices, and narratives of memory without
bodies in action being present at same site and at the same time, will be
investigated.
Anthropological, ethnopsychological and characterological studies on corruption in Serbia
Authors: Jokovic-Pantelic Milica
Published: June 2023

The paper examines the views and approaches of anthropologists,
ethnopsychologists and characterologists Jovan Cvijic and Vladimir
Dvornikovic from the beginning of the 20th century, as well as Bojan
Jovanovic and Zarko Trebjesanin from the end of the 20th century. Their
views and research of the causes, reasons and motives why the inhabitants of
Serbia have accepted and participated in corruptive activities are
significant and valuable for contemporary research of corruption. In their
opinion, the causes are related to the dark side of human nature,
particularly, greed, due to which bad features in the characters have become
pronounced. These features are: subjugation, furtiveness, distrust,
treachery and dishonesty. The reasons have derived from unfavourable living
circumstances such as slavery and poverty. The motive is related to the
fulfilment of needs and interests without choosing means for survival and/or
persistence. By accepting corruption as a way of surviving, with the passage
of time, a pattern of corruptive behaviour has been created. The pattern is
of profound nature and long-lasting. Even today it still pressurizes people
in modern Serbia. The pattern particularly emerges at the moments of
thorough changes in the political order and social crises. The paper is
aimed at analyzing the research by the above-listed authors to use the
results as a basis for getting more comprehensive insights into the origin,
structure, forms and development of corruption in modern Serbia.
The ethno-demographic context of declining birth rates and birth control in Eastern Serbia - an example of an atypical demographic transition
Authors: Knezevic Aleksandar , Gligorijevic Vera
Published: June 2023

The restrictive reproductive model in Eastern Serbia, which appeared in pre-
industrial rural society and without of sufficient development potential
that would lead to the redefinition of ethical and general social norms, was
in many ways similar to industrialized and urbanized societies. The
expansive spread of the restricted model of reproduction was atypical in
relation to the verme, place and conditions in which it appeared, and beyond
all the theoretical postulates of the demographic transition. The paper
analyzes the dynamics of change in both components of the natural population
movement at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century and
considers the ethnodemographic, ecocultural and socioeconomic context of
birth and mortality, which interrelationship indicates the stages of the
demographic transition. In addition to objective problems related to the
quality of statistical data, the regional demographic differentiation of
changes in birth mortality rates indicates a certain correlation between the
intensity of the decline in birth and the ethnic structure of the
population.
El uso de las Tic en las matemáticas. Una revisión sistemática de la literatura
Authors: Calero-Cerna Jenny Isabel , Veramendi-Vernazza Rossana Teresa
Published: June 2023

En el sector educativo, es importante mantenerse actualizado en los avances de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC). Asimismo, en las matemáticas, es muy necesario adaptarse a los cambios y normalizar el uso de las herramientas digitales, las cuales conllevan al desarrollo de clases interactivas y favorecen la enseñanza-aprendizaje. Sin embargo, hay que reconocer que aún existen barreras que impiden la anhelada normalización del uso de las TIC, como la resistencia de los docentes a innovar. Por tal motivo, el objetivo de este trabajo es presentar una revisión sistemática de la literatura sobre aspectos importantes, las barreras y los efectos que hay que considerar para que la enseñanza-aprendizaje de las matemáticas, por medio de las TIC, entre docentes y alumnado, sea un éxito. La búsqueda se realizó en Scopus, Scielo, DOAJ, Redalyc, EBSCOHost, Academic OneFile y ProQuest, desde el año 2020 hasta diciembre de 2022. Se consideró importante incluir un estudio realizado en 2016. Mediante la búsqueda de palabras clave, se localizaron 1661 artículos y como resultado de la revisión sistemática se analizaron 48 estudios, identificándose 13 aspectos a tener en cuenta al usar intencionalmente las TIC y 13 efectos positivos que deben conllevar a generar un cambio en el aprendizaje de las matemáticas. También se reconocieron 16 barreras en su uso. Asimismo, se encontró que debido a diversos aspectos en las clases de matemática, las TIC todavía siguen siendo usadas como herramientas tecnológicas auxiliares bajo un enfoque tradicional.

The results of observations at SDN Tanjungsari 02 Blitar found that Indonesian language learning about needs and desires was still considered very boring. This has an impact on the low learning outcomes of students. In addition, the teacher still uses the lecture method and lacks innovation in his learning. The purpose of this study was to improve Indonesian language learning outcomes through the Problem Based Learning model in grade 1 SDN Tanjungsari 02 Blitar city. This study used classroom action research (PTK) which was carried out in 2 cycles, each cycle was conducted 2 times. The subjects of this study were 29 grade 1 students. This research technique uses observation and tests at the end of each learning cycle. The results of the class action research stated that there was an increase in the learning outcomes of grade 1 students in Indonesian language subjects. This can be seen from the average score of students in cycle I 78% to 85% in cycle II. The percentage of students' learning completeness also increased, namely in cycle I by 66% and in cycle II it increased to 86%
