Sacramento da Penitência-Reconciliação. Achegas teológicas e sugestões pastorais
Authors: Melo Antonio Alves de
Published: November 2018

Síntese: o sacramento da Penitência-Reconciliação passa por mais uma crise em sua história. A superação dessa crise requer aprofundamento na teologia e abertura na pastoral. Na teologia, são fundamentais os conceitos de penitência, confissão e reconciliação, bem como o fato de que é na reconciliação com a Igreja que se realiza a reconciliação com Deus. Na pastoral, vemo-nos diante de dois desafios. O primeiro consiste na educação dos fiéis e das comunidades para o autêntico sentido da Reconciliação; o segundo, em assumir as aberturas do Ritual da Penitência e avançar a partir delas na renovação desse sacramento de importância decisiva na existência cristã, porém, ainda muito necessitado de aprofundamento teológico, litúrgico e pastoral. Somente uma renovação séria e corajosa fará com que o sacramento da Reconciliação cumpra a missão que lhe cabe na existência dos fiéis, das comunidades e na edificação da Igreja.Palavras-chave: Salvação. Penitência. Confissão. Reconciliação. Pastoral.Abstract: The sacrament of Penance-Reconciliation is going through another crisis in its history. To transcend this crisis, we need a deeper theology and a more open pastoral. In theology, the concepts of penance, confession and reconciliation are fundamental, and also fundamental is the fact that it is through the reconciliation with the Church that the reconciliation with God is made. In the pastoral, we find ourselves faced with two challenges. The first is how to teach the faithful and their communities the true meaning of reconciliation; the second is to take the openings of the Rite of Penance and from them proceed towards the renewal of this vitally important sacrament in Christian life, a sacrament that is still very much in need of further theological, liturgical and pastoral studies. Only a serious and courageous renovation will make the Sacrament of Reconciliation fulfil its mission in the existence of believers and communities and in the edification of the Church.Keywords: Salvation.

As duas mãos do Pai no coração da terra mater
Authors: Vasconcelos Aparecida Maria de
Published: November 2018

Síntese: O artigo trabalha, à luz dos escritos de Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955), uma possível articulação entre cristologia-pneumatologia e, consequentemente, uma aproximação ao mistério trinitário em sua interpretação mística da evolução cósmica. Indagamos: como compreender a articulação entre Cristo e o Espírito na cosmovisão teilhardiana? No bojo dessa reflexão é possível constatar a revelação de Deus como Trindade? Tendo em vista os objetos de nossa investigação, segue-se um percurso que tem início com o relato da concepção da presença universal de Cristo no cosmo e nossa visão acerca do movimento do Espírito Santo no coração da “Terra Mater”. Em seguida, apresentamos uma perspectiva da dinâmica trinitária no universo evolutivo. Ensejamos, enfim, encontrar intuições que brotam da pesquisa para um estilo de vida segundo o Espírito e seus desdobramentos em um contexto secularizado.Palavras-chave: Cristologia. Pneumatologia. Trindade. Cosmovisão teilhardiana.Abstract: This article examines, in the light of the writings of Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955), a possible Christological and pneumatological articulation and, consequently, the Mystery of the Trinity approach in his mystical interpretation of cosmic evolution. We asks: how to understand the relationship between Christ and the Spirit in Teilhardian worldview? At the centre this reflection it is possible to see God’s revelation as Trinity? In the center of our investigation, we follow the course which starts with a brief account of the universal presence of Christ in the cosmos and our vision of the movement of the Holy Spirit in the heart of the “Terra Mater”. In the following, we present an overview of the trinitarian dynamic in the evolutionary universe. Finally, we suggest some intuitions which arise in the research, to bring up a way to live according to the Spirit and its consequences in a secularized society.Keywords: Christology. Pneumatology.

A encarnação de Jesus na ótica de gênero
Authors: Zanini Rogério Luiz
Published: November 2018

Síntese: Ao pensar ou repensar a encarnação de Jesus, sua masculinidade pode se constituir numa questão. As teólogas feministas começaram a utilizar a dimensão de gênero como categoria de análise dentro de um princípio metodológico de desconstrução e reconstrução, juntamente com a “hermenêutica da suspeita”. Descobrem que a humanidade de Jesus é essencial para seu papel salvífico e reconhecem nitidamente que Jesus de Nazaré pertence ao sexo masculino. No entanto, nunca sugerem que é a masculinidade de Cristo que une os humanos com Deus de maneira salvífica. O ministério inclusivo do Reino de Deus, pregado por Jesus, questionou muitos estereótipos de gênero de seu tempo e ainda anuncia um ideal inclusivo de Igreja na qual “não há judeu nem grego, nem escravo nem livre, nem homem nem mulher...” (Gl 3,28). E a conclusão a que chegamos é a de que a fé num Deus identificado puramente com o masculino é incompatível com a revelação cristã e sua proposta de amor totalizante e universal.Palavras-chave: Jesus. Gênero. Discipulado de iguais.Abstract: When thinking or rethinking the incarnation of Jesus, his masculinity may become an issue. Feminist theologians have begun to use the gender dimension as an analytical category within a methodological principle of deconstruction and reconstruction, together with the “hermeneutics of suspicion”. They discovered that the humanity of Jesus is essential to his salvific role and recognize clearly that Jesus of Nazareth belongs to the male gender. However, they never suggest that it is Christ’s masculinity that unites the human beings with God in a salvific way. The inclusive ministry of the Kingdom of God preached by Jesus, questioned many gender stereotypes of his time and also announced an ideal inclusive church in which “there is neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor free man, neither male nor female ...” (Gal 3:28). And the conclusion we reached is that the faith in a God that is purely identified with the male gender is incompatible with the Christian revelation and its proposal of a totalizing and universal love.Keywords: Jesus.

Teologia da Libertação e a “revolução da estrutura mítica” do capitalismo
Authors: Sung Jung Mo
Published: November 2018

Síntese: A substituição da ideologia do desenvolvimentismo dominante na origem da Teologia da Libertação pela ideologia neoliberal não significou somente uma mudança no modo de direcionar a economia capitalista no processo de globalização, mas também a substituição do “mito do desenvolvimento”, que prometia a universalização do padrão de consumo dos países ricos a todo mundo, pelo mito neoliberal do “mercado livre”. Este novo mito nega que o ser humano tenha direitos fundamentais anteriores ao mercado, “direitos naturais”. Os pobres são considerados culpados pela sua pobreza, e todo programa social, um roubo contra os que ganharam justamente a sua riqueza. Este mito produz uma cultura de indiferença social em relação aos problemas sociais e ambientais e uma agressividade contra os inimigos do mercado livre. Partindo do pressuposto de que um mito não se combate só com argumentos racionais, mas principalmente com um mito alternativo capaz de mostrar a desumanidade do mito vigente, este artigo analisa os desafios que esse novo mito idolátrico e sacrificial traz para a Teologia da Libertação.Palavras-chave: Teologia da Libertação. Mito do mercado livre. Neoliberalismo. Idolatria do mercado. Teologia e economia.Abstract: Replacement of the developmentalism ideology, dominant in the origin of Liberation Theology, by neoliberal ideology has changed the way of driving the capitalist economy in the globalization process, and also replaced “development myth”, that promised to universalize the rich countries’ consumption standard to the rest of world, by the neoliberal myth of “free market.” This new myth denies that human beings have fundamental rights prior to the market, “natural rights”. The poor are blamed for their poverty and every social program, a theft from those who just earned their wealth. This myth produces a culture of social indifference to social and environmental problems and aggressiveness against the enemies of the free market. Assuming that a myth cannot be fought only with rational arguments, but with an alternative myth able to uncover the inhumanity of the prevailing myth, this article analyzes the challenges that this new idolatrous and sacrificial myth brings to Liberation Theology.Keywords: Liberation Theology. Myth of free market. Neoliberalism. Idolatry of market. Theology and economy.

For this reason, it advocates the continuity and the consolidation of the ecumenical spirit.Keywords: Catholic Church. Lutheran Reform. History. Conflicts. Ecumenism.
Análise institucional “no papel” do movimento Renovação Carismática Católica
Authors: Benelli Sílvio José , Silva Samuel Iauany Martins
Published: November 2018

Síntese: Esta pesquisa propõe uma Análise Institucional (AI) “no papel”, do movimento religioso Renovação Carismática Católica (RCC), que surgiu dentro da Igreja Católica a partir de 1967 e que se expandiu amplamente, marcando forte presença no Brasil, e de modo particular no Estado de São Paulo. Neste artigo, apresentamos uma possibilidade de leitura paradigmática que permite contextualizar o movimento da RCC no cenário eclesial católico. Essa modalidade de análise foi realizada apenas a partir de revisão bibliográfica e análise documental, operando a partir de uma grade conceitual da AI e de estudos acadêmicos do campo da Psicologia Social que se ocupam com fenômenos religiosos. Podemos considerar que a RCC, bem como seu modo de funcionamento institucional, está alinhado com o Paradigma Romano, que é hegemônico no contexto eclesial católico.Palavras-chave: Psicologia social. Análise institucional. Renovação carismática católica. Paradigmas eclesiais.Abstract: This research proposes an Institutional Analysis (IA) “on paper” of the Catholic Charismatic Renovation (CCR) movement, which emerged in the Catholic Church in 1967 and has greatly expanded, marking strong presence in Brazil, and particularly in the State of São Paulo. In this paper, we present the possibility of a paradigmatic reading that allows to contextualize the CCR movement in the ecclesiastical scenario. This type of analysis was performed only from literature review and documentational analysis, operating from a conceptual grid of IA and academic studies in the field of social psychology dealing with religious phenomena. We can consider that the CCR, as well as its mode of institutional operation, is aligned with the Roman Paradigm, which is hegemonic in the Catholic ecclesiastical context.Keywords: Social psychology.

Published: November 2018

Resumo: Este texto analisa como o corpo é agenciado em três expressões religiosas nacionais, a saber: o evangelismo (Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus), o espiritismo kardecista e as religiões de matriz africana (Batuque). Para tanto, recuperamos nossos dados etnográficos e apresentamos elementos que contribuem para uma reflexão mais ampla sobre a temática dentro de um contexto religioso tão rico e multifacetado como o brasileiro. A existência de múltiplas e diferentes presenças corporais nos espaços sagrados sugere uma constante vigilância epistemológica para que nenhuma religião tente absolutizar o seu uso do corpo como sendo a expressão do sagrado por excelência.Palavras-chave: Religião. Corpo. Performance.

Published: November 2018

A dengue é uma arbovirose de grande impacto na saúde pública. Fundamentando-se na importância dos agentes de combate às endemias (ACE) para prevenção e controle da doença, este artigo objetiva analisar a temática da formação dos ACE nas políticas públicas com base em pesquisa qualitativa, documental e descritiva de fontes primárias dos acervos eletrônicos do Ministério da Saúde e Ministério da Educação, disponibilizados até fevereiro de 2016. No total, 14 documentos foram analisados conforme análise de conteúdo. Os resultados indicam escassez de publicações sobre as políticas de formação profissional no contexto da dengue. Embora exista uma política incipiente visando à formação dos ACE, ainda não há regulamentação do seu trabalho técnico. É necessário discutir e aprofundar quem é esse trabalhador e os motivos pelos quais a regulamentação da formação não consta nas pautas das políticas de controle da dengue e seus vetores.

A crise e a universidade
Authors: Camargo Jr. Kenneth Rochel de
Published: November 2018

A universidade pública tem encontrado progressivas limitações financeiras no Brasil, manifestadas de forma aguda na Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Análises ingênuas tomam como fenômeno inevitável o que é, na verdade, o resultado de políticas inadequadas e de uma ideologia que defende a mutilação do Estado e o consequente descompromisso do mesmo com o ensino superior. A inatenção para os reais determinantes e o sentido da “crise” tem feito proliferarem propostas de enfrentamento inadequadas, equivocadas e inaplicáveis, que ignoram ou desconsideram o papel fundamental de ações do Estado para a redução da crescente desigualdade social, destacando-se entre elas precisamente a manutenção de universidades públicas, provendo ensino gratuito e qualifiado.

Masumura Yasuzō
Authors: Novielli Maria Roberta
Published: November 2018

A few fundamental events contributed to create a revolution in the world of Japanese cinema during the 1950s, drastically cutting its links with the past and stimulating a completely different way to make movies. One of the main authors to stress the need for a complete change was MasumuraYasuzo. He had been studying for two years (1952-54) in Rome, an experience which enabled him to introduce a new kind of approach to human beings into Japan. Masumura’s refusal for the classical atmosphere of Japanese cinema, often referring to nature as a metaphor of the existence, together with what he had learnt in Italy, gave birth to some of his masterpieces, where the fictional universe works as a frame for depicting a dialectic mixing of freedom and individuality.
Segue: Overviewing Evolution Patterns of Egocentric Networks by Interactive Construction of Spatial Layouts
Authors: Law Po-Ming , Wu Yanhong , Basole Rahul C.
Published: November 2018

Getting the overall picture of how a large number of ego-networks evolve is a common yet challenging task. Existing techniques often require analysts to inspect the evolution patterns of ego-networks one after another. In this study, we explore an approach that allows analysts to interactively create spatial layouts in which each dot is a dynamic ego-network. These spatial layouts provide overviews of the evolution patterns of ego-networks, thereby revealing different global patterns such as trends, clusters and outliers in evolution patterns. To let analysts interactively construct interpretable spatial layouts, we propose a data transformation pipeline, with which analysts can adjust the spatial layouts and convert dynamic ego-networks into event sequences to aid interpretations of the spatial positions. Based on this transformation pipeline, we develop Segue, a visual analysis system that supports thorough exploration of the evolution patterns of ego-networks. Through two usage scenarios, we demonstrate how analysts can gain insights into the overall evo-lution patterns of a large collection of ego-networks by interactively creating different spatial layouts.
Duet: Helping Data Analysis Novices Conduct Pairwise Comparisons by Minimal Specification
Authors: Law Po-Ming , Basole Rahul C. , Wu Yanhong
Published: November 2018

Data analysis novices often encounter barriers in executing low-level operations for pairwise comparisons. They may also run into barriers in interpreting the artifacts (e.g., visualizations) created as a result of the operations. We developed Duet, a visual analysis system designed to help data analysis novices conduct pairwise comparisons by addressing execution and interpretation barriers. To reduce the barriers in executing low-level operations during pairwise comparison, Duet employs minimal specification: when one object group (i.e. a group of records in a data table) is specified, Duet recommends object groups that are similar to or different from the specified one; when two object groups are specified, Duet recommends similar and different attributes between them. To lower the barriers in interpreting its recommendations, Duet explains the recommended groups and attributes using both visualizations and textual descriptions. We conducted a qualitative evaluation with eight participants to understand the effectiveness of Duet. The results suggest that minimal specification is easy to use and Duet's explanations are helpful for interpreting the recommendations despite some usability issues.
The association between implicit attitudes toward physical activity and physical activity behavior: A systematic review and correlational meta-analysis
Authors: Chevance Guillaume , Paquito Bernard , Chamberland Pier-Eric , Rebar Amanda L.
Published: November 2018

As a result of recent calls to attend to the implicit processes that regulate health behaviors, the study of implicit attitudes and physical activity behavior has grown rapidly in the past decade. The aim of this study was to summarize existing evidence on the extent to which implicit attitudes toward physical activity are associated with physical activity behavior. A systematic literature review was performed to retrieve studies reporting both a measure of implicit attitudes and physical activity. For the meta-analysis, effect size (Pearson’s r) were extracted from eligible studies or retrieved from authors. A total of 26 independent studies, and 55 effect sizes, were eligible. There was a small, significant, and positive correlation between implicit attitudes and physical activity, a finding replicated across multiple meta-analytical strategies with sensitivity analyses applied. This association was not significantly moderated by study design or objective, participants’ age or other characteristics, or measures of implicit attitudes or physical activity. This meta-analysis provides evidence that implicit attitudes toward physical activity are positively associated with physical activity in adults to a small degree.
The impact of climatic extreme events on the feasibility of fully renewable power systems: a case study for Sweden
Authors: Höltinger Stefan , Baumgartner Johann , Mikovits Christian , Schmidt Johannes , Arheimer Berit , Lindström Göran , Wetterlund Elisabeth
Published: November 2018

Future energy systems with high shares of intermittent renewables will be stressed by climatic extreme events. We assess the frequency, duration, and magnitude of such extreme residual load events with a share of VRE generation of about 50% for the case of Sweden. For our analysis, we use 29 years of river runoff and of wind power and PV generation simulated from physical models. Hourly load is simulated from temperature data with a time series model. The resulting time series are combined with historic capacity and ramping restrictions of hydro and thermal power plants in an optimization model to minimize extreme residual load events. Results indicate that under high VRE shares climatic extreme events affect even highly flexible power systems as the Swedish one. Replacing current nuclear power capacities by wind power results on average in three extreme residual load events per year. These events are partly linked to the observation that wind speeds are likely below seasonal average in very cold weather conditions. Deploying PV generation capacities instead of wind increases the number of extreme residual load events by about 6 %, as most events occur during the winter month when solar generation is close to zero.
Election Interference: The Real Harm and The Only Solution
Authors: Ohlin Jens David
Published: November 2018

Although politicians and intelligence analysts have criticized Russian interference in the 2016 and 2018 elections, international lawyers seem to be at a loss for how to understand the particular harm posed by this interference. In addition to the hacking of email accounts and disclosure of private information, the most salient aspect of the interference was the use of social media platforms, including Twitter and Facebook, to sow division and heighten nativist tendencies within the electorate. Strictly speaking, the goal of the 2016 interference was to delegitimize a potential Clinton presidency or to help elect Donald Trump as president. But far more important was the method used to accomplish these goals: the impersonation of American citizens during participation in the political process. This latter development points to the real harm of election interference, which has less to do with sovereignty and more to do with the collective right of self- determination. Foreign interference is a violation of the membership rules for political decision-making, i.e., the idea that only members of a polity should participate in elections—not only with regard to voting but also with regard to financial contributions and other forms of electoral participation. Outsiders are free to express their opinions but covertly representing themselves as insiders constitutes a violation of these political norms, which are constitutive of the notion of self- determination, just as much as covertly funneling foreign money to one candidate. The only solution to this form of election interference is transparency, i.e., to expose such interventions for what they are: attempts by foreigners to make political statements while pretending to be Americans. This article ends by cataloguing the mistakes of the Obama Administration in failing to expose this interference in real time—which is the only way to nullify its insidious impact. Ex post investigations, prosecutions, and counter-measures designed to deter future misbehavior are all insufficient to nullify the impact of electoral interference. However, recent efforts by the Justice Department and the FBI, including a new policy codified in the US Attorneys Manual, and contemporaneous indictments of Russians for interference in the 2018 election, suggest that some government actors finally understand that transparency is the only solution to election interference.
Ambivalence, the Person and the Attitude Object: Individual Differences in the Experience of Ambivalence
Authors: Simons Joseph John Pyne , Schneider Iris , Sanchez-Burks Jeffrey
Published: November 2018

Ambivalence, that is holding positive and negative evaluations about a single topic, has traditionally been studied in relation to specific attitude objects. However, prior findings suggest that some individuals may be more ambivalent than others, regardless of the attitude object. To investigate this possibility, we conducted a registered secondary analysis of two existing datasets. In both datasets, individuals (ns = 41; 111) rated multiple stimuli (DS1=29; DS2=61) drawn from widely-used normed sets (IAPS; ANEW). Results indicate that ambivalence varies more strongly with individuals than with stimuli. Individual differences account for 16-28% of variance whereas the differences between stimuli only account for 3-10%. Furthermore, we document substantial individual differences in the relationships between different aspects of ambivalence. These findings show that levels of ambivalence are as much a function of the person as they are of the attitude object.
Contrast and Entailment: Abstract logical relations constrain how 2- and 3-year-old children interpret unknown numbers
Authors: Feiman Roman , Hartshorne Joshua K. , Barner David
Published: November 2018

Do children understand how different numbers are related before they associate them with specific cardinalities? We explored how children rely on two abstract relations – contrast and entailment – to reason about the meanings of ‘unknown’ number words. Previous studies argue that, because children give variable amounts when asked to give an unknown number, all unknown numbers begin with an existential meaning akin to some. In Experiment 1, we tested an alternative hypothesis, that because numbers belong to a scale of contrasting alternatives, children assign them a meaning distinct from some. In the “Don’t Give-a-Number task”, children were shown three kinds of fruit (apples, bananas, strawberries), and asked to not give either some or a number of one kind (e.g. Give everything, but not [some/five] bananas). While children tended to give zero bananas when asked to not give some, they gave positive amounts when asked to not give numbers. This suggests that contrast – plus knowledge of a number’s membership in a count list – enables children to differentiate the meanings of unknown number words from the meaning of some. Experiment 2 tested whether children’s interpretation of unknown numbers is further constrained by understanding numerical entailment relations – that if someone, e.g. has three, they thereby also have two, but if they do not have three, they also do not have four. On critical trials, children saw two characters with different quantities of fish, two apart (e.g. 2 vs. 4), and were asked about the number in-between – who either has or doesn’t have, e.g. three. Children picked the larger quantity for the affirmative, and the smaller for the negative prompts even when all the numbers were unknown, suggesting that they understood that, whatever three means, a larger quantity is more likely to contain that many, and a smaller quantity is more likely not to. We conclude by discussing how contrast and entailment could help children scaffold their exact meanings of unknown number words.
Group Formation and Cooperation in Social Dilemmas: a Survey and Meta-Analytic Evidence
Authors: Guido Andrea , Robbett Andrea , Romaniuc Rustam
Published: November 2018

We survey the growing literature on group formation in the context of three types of social dilemma games: public goods games, common pool resources, and the prisoner’s dilemma. The 62 surveyed papers study the effect of different sorting mechanisms – endogenous, endogenous with the option to play the game, and exogenous – on cooperation rates. Our survey shows that cooperators are highly sensitive to the presence of free-riders, independently of the sorting mechanism. We complement the survey with a meta-analysis showing no difference in terms of cooperation between studies implementing an endogenous and exogenous sorting. What is more, we find that it is no more likely for a cooperator to be matched with like-minded partners in endogenously formed groups than in exogenously formed groups. These observations are related. As we show in the survey, the success of a sorting method in matching like-minded individuals and the levels of cooperation are closely interlinked.
Reliability starts with the experimental tools employed
Authors: Wall Matthew

A brief comment on Huber, Potter, and Huszar (2018; https://psyarxiv.com/5q9ma/) making the point that reliability and reproducibility in cognitive neuroscience (particularly in fMRI research) is highly dependent on the experimental methods employed. In particular, the task paradigms used are largely unstandardized and researchers generally do not trouble to formally assess their reliability characteristics. This situation will likely persist unless and until reviewers, editors, and funding bodies encourage such testing.
Deportation Decisions: Judicial Decision-Making in an American Immigration Court
Authors: Asad Asad L.
Published: November 2018

Drawing on ethnographic observations and informal conversations with judges in Dallas Immigration Court, as well as archival documents, this article describes two approaches through which judges in this setting justify their decisions during removal proceedings. The “scripted approach,” used to effect the routine removal of noncitizens in most of the completed cases observed, entails judges’ recitation of well-rehearsed narratives regarding the limited legal rights and remedies available to noncitizens. The “extemporaneous approach” involves judges moving beyond their scripts and deliberating in greater depth about noncitizens’ cases. In doing so, judges’ personal attitudes, biases, and motivations are often revealed as they articulate their desire to circumvent the removal process for noncitizens they view as “deserving” of relief—but for whom only temporary relief from removal is often available given judges’ interpretations of immigration law. Although judges recognize that this temporary relief may allow some noncitizens to remain in the United States indefinitely, incomplete protection from removal can leave noncitizens in a precarious legal status and jeopardize these individuals' future opportunities for legalization. These findings support a conceptualization of immigration judges as street-level bureaucrats, or frontline workers who interpret the law—sometimes unevenly—in order to enforce government policy while interfacing with the individuals subject to said policy, and amplify the social control capacity of the federal immigration regime.
Perancangan Filter Bandpass dengan Teknik Penggabungan Filter Lowpass dan Highpass

UWB technology started to become an attraction in the field of research since the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allowing this communication is used for commercial communications at a frequency (3.1 GHz - 10.6 GHz). UWB has a very wide frequency range so that in practice there is often interference due to signal interference. Therefore in UWB system filter design is required to maintain UWB device. In telecommunications, filter is a transmission device that has the function to pass the desired frequency. In this paper designed bandpass filter which is applied for UWB technology. The designed bandpass filter is a combination of a lowpass filter (LPF) and a highpass filter (HPF). The lowpass filter has the characteristic of passing a frequency lower than its cut-off frequency. The highpass filter has the characteristic passing a frequency higher than its cut-off frequency. Considering the characteristics of both filters, the bandpass filter (BPF) is a combination of lowpass and highpass filters. In this research designed lowpass filter in microstrip technology with step-impedance method, that is by combining high impedance microstrip and low impedance microstrip with a certain length. As for designing HPF using the distribution method of short circuit stubs by adding via ground on each stub. The design of this filter uses Roger substrate RT 5880 with dielectric constant er = 2,2 with thickness (h) = 0.508 mm. In this research it can be concluded that bandpass filter can be designed with lowpass and highpass filter incorporation method, although at the merging of highpass and lowpass structures is disturbed by each other, but overall design shows matching bandpass.

Keywords—Microstrip, Lowpass Filter, Highpass Filter, Bandpass Filter.

Learning processes in the elementary schools at Tanah Laut District is affected by the number of students. Through the number of students can be predicted how much the need of additional teachers, rooms, textbooks and learning medias that support learning processes in the schools. In other words, the infrastructure of the schools can be predicted by the number of students that is registered in Tanah Laut District. The research use Holt’s Double Exponential Smoothing method to predicting the number of the prospective students in Tanah Laut District. Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) technique is used to calculate the percentage of error from the forecasting’s result. The system is designed by Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) and Data Flow Diagram (DFD). The forecasting that have been done said that the number of Tanah Laut’s elementary school students at 2018 is 35655 students, with the value of MAPE is about 0.77%, a = 0.77 and ß = 0.8.

O Brešićevoj, Bagićevoji Rafoltovoj književno-povijesnoj upisanosti (u filološki "dis/kontinuitet").
Authors: Škvorc Boris
Published: November 2018

This article discusses three recent books that deal with the Croatian literary hi/story. In the first part of the work we discuss the issues of the contemporary post-structural and deconstructionist view of writing history. The argument is based on Alun Munslow’s thesis that it is not possible to write hi/story outside the narrative genre.

The starting point of discussion is that hi/story (of literature) is only one of possible modal practices of narration/narrative. This means that history can only be read as one of many narratives while simultaneously it reflects the narrative that is produced by its nature/mode. That in many ways changes the way in which today, in poststructuralist and postmodern perspective, one can (and will) interpret the tradition of literary history as a “practical activity” (interpretation of meaning and/or

philological discipline) but also as a story (construction). The tradition of Croatian literary history is very much dependent on the narrative(s) of the nation, the idea of its continuity in time (“diachronic development”) and on viewing literature as the narration of
the nation, or as a major way of preserving national memory. In most books on the 19th and the 20th century national literary history this was the prevailing

viewpoint of scholars who were constructing the Croatian cannon and national narrative as “agreed upon” hi/story “of the nation” (and its literary memory/canon). The three books discussed in this article, each in its particular way (methodologically and by its idea of how to interpret texts), change, or at least contribute to the change

of this traditionalist storytelling that has become hi/story (of national literature). This article simultaneously challenges the tradition of (literary) history writing and interprets various aspects of reading hi/story anew in the works by three contemporary authors. It puts in perspective three different types of “politics of small differences” that form the basis of the original contributions. Brešić’s
study into the

Croatian 19th century literature shifted from writing the hi/story of writers and national narratives towards the modes of presentation and study of genres. Bagić’s study of contemporary literature for the first time treats traditional literary genres and new media, as well as popular culture, equally, thus allowing new insight into the possibilities of studying both fiction and its discursive frames. The third book

discussed here introduces the discussion of the role that contemporary questioning of humanities as a discipline has in both post-structural environment and interpretative community of scholars. In conclusion, the
article discusses the possibilities of reading (literary) history anew in the hegemonic environment of school system, academia and cultural paradigm of the “nation”.
