Connecting Music and Place: Exploring Library Collection Data Using Geo-visualizations
Authors: Doi Carolyn
Published: June 2017

Abstract

Objectives – This project had two stated objectives: 1) to compare the location and concentration of Saskatchewan-based large ensembles (bands, orchestras, choirs) within the province, with the intention to draw conclusions about the history of community-based musical activity within the province; and 2) to enable location-based browsing of Saskatchewan music materials through an interactive search interface.

Methods – Data was harvested from MARC metadata found in the library catalogue for a special collection of Saskatchewan music at the University of Saskatchewan. Microsoft Excel and OpenRefine were used to screen, clean, and enhance the dataset. Data was imported into ArcGIS software, where it was plotted using a geo-visualization showing location and concentrations of musical activity by large ensembles within the province. The geo-visualization also allows users to filter results based on the ensemble type (band, orchestra, or choir).

Results – The geo-visualization shows that albums from large community ensembles appear across the province, in cities and towns of all sizes. The ensembles are concentrated in the southern portion of the province and there is a correlation between population density and ensemble location. Choral ensembles are more prevalent than bands and orchestras, and appear more widely across the province, whereas bands and orchestras are concentrated around larger centres.

Conclusions – Library catalogue data contains unique information for research based on special collections, though additional cleaning is needed. Using geospatial visualizations to navigate collections allows for more intuitive searching by location, and allow users to compare facets. While not appropriate for all kinds of searching, maps are useful for browsing and for location-based searches. Information is displayed in a visual way that allows users to explore and connect with other platforms for more information.

Through the Students’ Lens: Photographic Methods for Research in Library Spaces
Authors: Bedi Shailoo , Webb Jenaya
Published: June 2017

Abstract

Objective – As librarians and researchers, we are deeply curious about how our library users navigate and experience our library spaces. Although we have some data about users’ experiences and wayfinding strategies at our libraries, including anecdotal evidence, statistics, surveys, and focus group discussions, we lacked more in-depth information that reflected students’ real-time experiences as they move through our library spaces. Our objective is to address that gap by using photographic methods for studying library spaces.

Methods – We present two studies conducted in two academic libraries that used participant-driven photo-elicitation (PDPE) methods. Described simply, photo-elicitation methods involve the use of photographs as discussion prompts in interviews. In both studies presented here, we asked participants to take photographs that reflected their experiences using and navigating our library spaces. We then met with participants for an interview using their photos as prompts to discuss their experiences.

Results – Our analysis of students’ photos and interviews provided rich descriptions of student experiences in library spaces. This analysis resulted in new insights into the ways that students navigate the library as well as the ways that signage, furniture, technology, and artwork in the library can shape student experiences in library spaces. The results have proven productive in generating answers to our research questions and supporting practical improvements to our libraries. Additionally, when comparing the results from our two studies we identified the importance of detailed spatial references for understanding student experiences in library spaces, which has implications beyond our institutions.

Conclusion – We found that photographic methods were very productive in helping us to understand library users’ experiences and supporting decision-making related to library spaces. In addition, engaging with students and hearing their interpretations and stories about the photographs they created enhanced our research understandings of student experiences and needs in new and unique ways.

Grain yield response of drought stressed wheat to foliar application of glycine betaine
Authors: Gupta* Neha , Thind Sanjeev Kaur
Published: June 2017

A field experiment was conducted to investigate influence of exogenous application of glycine betaine (GB) on performance of wheat under prolonged drought conditions. A set of 19 wheat genotypes differing in stress sensitivity, were sprayed with 100mM GB at maximum tillering and anthesis stage. GB treatment significantly declined the phenological pace under drought stress by increasing days to anthesis. Foliar applied GB improved grains/ spike and thousand grain weight of selected wheat genotypes over stressed ones. The genotype specific response to GB application suggested some threshold optimum level to be necessary for yield improvement under drought stress in susceptible genotypes as compared with tolerant ones. In overall, GB alleviated negative effects of drought stress by a rise in harvest index of most genotypes suggesting its role in assimilate translocation.

Canalis sinuosus: reporte de cuatro casos y revisión de la literatura.
Authors: Ruiz García De Chacón Vilma Elizabeth , Mayanga Becerra Jacinto Martín
Published: June 2017

El Canalis sinuosus (CS) es una variante anatómica correspondiente a una rama del canal alveolar anterior superior.  En relación al conducto nasopalatino, estudios confirman la presencia de canales dentro del maxilar distintos a este. Esta variante es de interés para los dentistas, sin embargo, estos no están muy familiarizados ella. El acceso a la Tomografía Computarizada Cone Beam(TCCB) proporciona información que tendrá impacto en la planificación quirúrgica. En radiografías de rutina, muchos profesionales, sin darse cuenta de la presencia del CS, lo identifican como una imagen radiolúcida; siendo interpretado generalmente como patología. La presencia de variantes anatómicas exige más conocimiento, y la TCCB permite ubicar con exactitud estos reparos y su trayectoria. El propósito de  este artículo fue reportar 4 casos de CS de pacientes asintomáticos del Servicio de Radiología Oral y Maxilofacial, Clínica Dental docente de la Universidad Peruana Cayetano  Heredia y realizar una revisión de la literatura.

Integrating Organizational Economics and Resource Dependence Theory to Explain the Persistence of Quasi Markets
Authors: Coupet Jason , McWilliams Abagail
Published: June 2017

The past few decades have been characterized by a growing body of profit-seeking public service areas with the understanding that profit-seeking organizations will deliver public services more efficiently than government can. These sectors include, but are not limited to, health care, corrections and education. Governments have created quasi markets to attract private providers of services in these sectors, with varying results. Organizational economics has provided the primary explanation for quasi markets, but questions about the sought-for efficiencies actually realized through these markets persist. We integrate resource dependence theory and organizational economics to provide a more comprehensive explanation of the persistence of quasi markets.

Core Ideas

In upland, how to integrate soil conservation, productivity, and economic benefits is still a challenge.

Using a 4‐yr experiment, we found the maize/chili intercropping could be a valuable choice, which decreased erosion and increased economic benefits.

The multiple cropping system combined with staple and cash crops should be given greater attention in hilly areas.

Intercropping is a widespread cropping system to increase land productivity and decreases soil erosion. However, considering economic benefits of intercropping mountain agriculture is deficient. A field experiment was conducted to determine productivity, economic efficiency, and soil conservation benefits of intercropping of maize (Zea mays L.) with chili (Capsicum annuum L.) and setaria grass (Setaria anceps Stapf ex Massesy) in Yunnan. Runoff, sediment, crop yield, and economic benefits were evaluated under sole maize (SM), sole chili (SC), maize/chili intercropping (MCI), and maize/setaria grass intercropping (MGI). The results suggested that intercropping decreased runoff when compared with sole crop. The MGI had the least sediment, followed by MCI, SM, and SC. Severe soil loss was observed in sole crop systems but not in intercropping systems. Moreover, the land equivalent ratio (LER) of MCI ranged from 1.22 to 1.69, and mean economic income (US$3955 ha−1) were 29.91, 16.38, and 23.41% higher than that of SM, SC, and MGI, respectively. Therefore, MCI can integrate the benefits of productivity, economy, and soil conservation, suggesting that intercropping of maize and chili, a staple‐cash crop pattern, should be favored in mountain agriculture.
Effects of the Dissolved Organic Carbon of Treated Municipal Wastewater on Soil Infiltration as Related to Sodium Adsorption Ratio and pH
Authors: Suarez Donald L. , Gonzalez-Rubio Alberto
Published: June 2017

Core Ideas

DOC in treated wastewater decreased infiltration relative to prepared waters of the same composition.

The effect of the DOC was equivalent to an increase in SAR of 2‐3 units.

The SAR of typical wastewaters is sufficiently high to cause loss of infiltration.

DOC, SAR and elevated pH all had detrimental effects on soil physical properties.

Sustained use of wastewaters for irrigation requires treatment to lower pH below 8.0 and SAR below 4.

The increasing scarcity of fresh water in arid and semiarid regions means we must use alternative supplies for irrigation, such as treated municipal wastewaters. Generally, only their salinity level, the Na adsorption ratio (SAR), and the microbial content are evaluated. These waters contain higher concentrations of Na and thus higher SAR, and higher pH and dissolved organic C (DOC) than traditional supplies. We examined the effect of DOC in treated wastewater on soil physical properties, specifically the infiltration rate, aggregate stability, penetration resistance, and dispersibility of the soil. Wastewater and prepared waters (DOC‐free) at SAR 4, 7, and 10 and at pH 7.0 and 8.0 were applied to a sandy loam soil outdoors as discrete events for 153 d, allowing soil to dry to −50 kPa before irrigation. Independent of Na level and pH, the treated wastewater reduced the infiltration rate, reduced aggregate stability, and increased dispersibility. The effect of DOC was equivalent to an increase in SAR of two to three units. An increase in the SAR (from 4 to 7) and pH (from 7 to 8) decreased infiltration and aggregate stability. The increased pH from 7.0 to 8.0 reduced infiltration and aggregate stability, with and without DOC, for all SAR values examined. We conclude that the SAR, DOC, and pH of wastewaters are high enough to cause a loss of infiltration and deterioration of soil physical properties. The pH and DOC of the water, plus salinity and SAR, should be considered when evaluating suitability for irrigation.
Hybrid model predictive control of damping multi-mode switching damper for vehicle suspensions
Authors: Sun Xiaoqiang , Cai Yingfeng , Yuan Chaochun , Chen Long , Wang Ruochen
Published: June 2017

This paper investigates the design and verification of a hybrid model predictive controller of a damping multi-mode switching damper for application in vehicle suspensions. Since the damping mode switches induce different modes of operation, the vehicle suspension system including this damper poses challenging hybrid control problem. To solve this problem, a novel approach to the modelling and controller design problem is proposed based on hybrid modelling and model predictive control techniques. The vehicle suspension system with the damping multi-mode switching damper is formulated as a mixed logical dynamical model comprising continuous and discrete system inputs. Based on this model, a constrained optimal control problem is solved to manage the switching sequences of the damping mode with respect to the suspension performance requirements. Numerical simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control methodology finally.

Authors: Tu Jiahuang , Sun Wenjuan , Zhou Dai , Han Zhaolong
Published: June 2017

Wake-induced vibrations of a 2-DOF circular cylinder which is placed behind a stationary square cylinder with tandem arrangement are numerically investigated at low Reynolds numbers by using semi-implicit Characteristics-based split (CBS) finite element algorithm in this study. Numerical results demonstrate that the side length of the upstream square cylinder can significantly affect the characteristics of flow patterns, oscillation frequency, maximum amplitudes, X-Y trajectories, and hydrodynamic coefficients of the rear circular cylinder. The predominant vortex shedding patterns are 2S, 2P and 2T mode. In addition to the figure “8”, “raindrop” and figure “dual-8” are observed in the X-Y vibrating trajectories for the circular cylinder. Finally, the interactions between cylinders are revealed according to the phase portrait of fluid force to displacement and the power spectral densities (PSD) features of the vibration amplitude on the rear circular cylinder and the instantaneous flow field, together with the wake-induced vibration (WIV) mechanism underlying the oscillation characteristics of the circular cylinder behind a stationary square cylinder with different sizes.
Numerical study on aerodynamic noises and characteristics of the high-speed train in the open air and tunnel environment
Authors: Li Xin , Shang Tao , Han Liu , Jin Xiao-hong , Wang Li-hua
Published: June 2017

When high-speed trains were passing through a tunnel, pressure wave will change seriously and cause large aerodynamic loads, which may bring problems to the comfort of passengers and the aerodynamic fatigue failure of train bodies, components and fixed equipment in the tunnel. Therefore, this paper systematically studied aerodynamic characteristics of a high-speed train under three kinds of situation including open air, entering a tunnel and completely in a tunnel, experimentally verified the correctness of numerically computational model. In the open air, vortexes of the high-speed train were mainly distributed in the bogie and compartment connections. Sound pressure level curves had many peak and valley points and the maximum sound pressure level was 72 dB. Sound pressure levels gradually decreased with the increase of analyzed frequency. In addition, sound energy was mainly distributed below 2000 Hz. Aerodynamic noises presented an obvious directivity and attenuation distribution. In the entering the tunnel, peak and valley values of pressures at train head and tail appeared at different time. The maximum pressures at the observation points of train head and tail were 345 Pa and –450 Pa respectively, while the minimum negative pressures at the observation points of train head and tail were –2900 Pa and –3260 Pa respectively. Computational pressures of observation points were basically consistent with the experimental test, and the relative error was only within 2 %, which indicated that the adopted numerical simulation can better simulate aerodynamic characteristics of the high-speed train. The change of the length of the tunnel had no an obvious effect on the aerodynamic lift of the high-speed train. When the length of the tunnel was less than 800 m, the negative peak of the aerodynamic lift increased continuously with the extension of the tunnel, but the increased rate was gradually reduced. When the length of the tunnel was more than 800 m, the negative peak of the aerodynamic lift was gradually reduced. According to the acoustic panel contribution, these panels which had an obvious effect on the interior noise of the high-speed train were recognized. Composite sound absorption material was then applied to these panels and the interior noise at the observation points was improved obviously.

Published: June 2017

Se busca evaluar el método de observación física de los residuos macroscópicos para la de-terminación de la posible distancia de disparo para el fusil Galíl AR calibre 5,56 mm y su respectiva munición, con el fin de precisar y mejorar la interpretación de los conceptos forenses frente a las investigaciones de policías y militares en el marco del conflicto armado colombiano. El diseño aplicado es de tipo observacional descriptivo. Usando un fusil de asalto Galil ar 5,56 mm y munición Indumil de igual calibre, se realizan series de disparos de prueba contra piezas de tela como superficie de impacto, con rangos desde el contacto hasta los 2,5 m y se verifica la presencia de residuos de disparo sobre el soporte con el método de observación física por parte de un médico forense con amplia experiencia y de un experto en balística. Se encuentra que los rangos de distancia descritos por la literatura médica no se correlacionan con los obtenidos en la práctica. Adicionalmente, el método de observación física es dependiente de la experiencia y nivel de conocimiento del perito, siendo falible, lo cual puede acarrear errores en la interpretación de los hallazgos de necropsia acerca de la posible distancia de disparo. La inadecuada obtención e interpretación de los hallazgos forenses por parte de los peritos y operadores judiciales puede llevar a la toma de decisiones de manera inadecuada y a veces injusta. Cuando se determina la existencia de residuos de disparo, se debe realizar un análisis contextualizado en el marco de la conducción de hostilidades y no apresurarse a concluir sobre violaciones de dhh o infracciones al DIH.

National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Dialysis Event Surveillance Report for 2014
Authors: Nguyen Duc B. , Shugart Alicia , Lines Christi , Shah Ami B. , Edwards Jonathan , Pollock Daniel , Sievert Dawn , Patel Priti R.
Published: June 2017

Background and objectives

Persons receiving outpatient hemodialysis are at risk for bloodstream and vascular access infections. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducts surveillance for these infections through the National Healthcare Safety Network. We summarize 2014 data submitted to National Healthcare Safety Network Dialysis Event Surveillance.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

Dialysis facilities report three types of dialysis events (bloodstream infections; intravenous antimicrobial starts; and pus, redness, or increased swelling at the hemodialysis vascular access site). Denominator data consist of the number of hemodialysis outpatients treated at the facility during the first 2 working days of each month. We calculated dialysis event rates stratified by vascular access type (e.g., arteriovenous fistula, arteriovenous graft, or central venous catheter) and standardized infection ratios (comparing individual facility observed with predicted numbers of infections) for bloodstream infections. We described pathogens identified among bloodstream infections.

Results

A total of 6005 outpatient hemodialysis facilities reported dialysis event data for 2014 to the National Healthcare Safety Network. These facilities reported 160,971 dialysis events, including 29,516 bloodstream infections, 149,722 intravenous antimicrobial starts, and 38,310 pus, redness, or increased swelling at the hemodialysis vascular access site events; 22,576 (76.5%) bloodstream infections were considered vascular access related. Most bloodstream infections (63.0%) and access-related bloodstream infections (69.8%) occurred in patients with a central venous catheter. The rate of bloodstream infections per 100 patient-months was 0.64 (0.26 for arteriovenous fistula, 0.39 for arteriovenous graft, and 2.16 for central venous catheter). Other dialysis event rates were also highest among patients with a central venous catheter. Facility bloodstream infection standardized infection ratio distribution was positively skewed with a median of 0.84. Staphylococcus aureus was the most commonly isolated bloodstream infection pathogen (30.6%), and 39.5% of S. aureus isolates tested were resistant to methicillin.

Conclusions

The 2014 National Healthcare Safety Network Dialysis Event data represent nearly all United States outpatient dialysis facilities. Rates of infection and other dialysis events were highest among patients with a central venous catheter compared with other vascular access types. Surveillance data can help define the epidemiology of important infections in this patient population.

Tafsir Al-Qur’an dan Tradisi Sunda: Studi Pemikiran Moh. E. Hasyim dalam Tafsir Ayat Suci dalam Renungan
Authors: Evarial Irwan
Published: June 2017

This article aims to examine the religious response of Moh. E. Hasim against the Sundanese religious tradition that is reflected in his Qur'anic commentary. Based on an analysis of the facts and views related to the religious thought of Moh. E. Hasim in his Ayat Suci dalam Renungan, this article finds that the monotheism of the Muslims of West Java, according to Moh. E. Hasim, besides worshiping Allah, they also worship idols and so forth. For that, Moh. E. Hasim forbids Muslims especially the West Java Muslim community for pilgrimage to the graves of the saints, because in reality many of the pilgrims have wrong intentions and goals. Religious ritual ceremonies such as nadran, for Moh. E. Hasim, very prohibited, because in the implementation of ritual ceremonies such as this nadran there are elements of shirk. In addition, in responding to religious traditions such as the nujuh bulanan, Moh. E. Hasim also forbids it, because it is seen that in the monthly ceremony there are elements of heresy, which include the mantras into verses of the Qur'an.

LITERATURA E ESTADO: TAL LUGAR, QUAL VALOR?
Authors: Costa Walter Cavalcanti , Botelho Amara Cristina De Barros e Silva
Published: June 2017

Neste trabalho são discutidos os impactos gerados pelo neoliberalismo na educação brasileira.  Como resultante do incentivo à competitividade, o processo de “Mcdonaldização da educação”, a “descentralização centralizante” e a “centralização descentralizada” são legados neoliberais, em conformidade com as considerações de Gentili (2016). Observa-se também a não valorização da literatura e de suas contribuições para a língua portuguesa, tendo em vista que os estudos literários não fazem parte do currículo como disciplina específica, razão pela qual, tanto em termos de Brasil, quanto em termos de Pernambuco, a disciplina é tratada minimamente como conteúdo que integra a disciplina de Língua Portuguesa. Para se observar como o neoliberalismo atinge o currículo, realiza-se também a análise do modo como a literatura é tratada, no ensino fundamental, tanto em nível nacional, com os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais – PCN (BRASIL, 1998), quanto em nível estadual, com três documentos principais: 1. “Parâmetros Curriculares de Língua Portuguesa para o Ensino Fundamental e Médio” – PCLP (PERNAMBUCO, 2012b); 2. “Parâmetros na Sala de Aula: Língua Portuguesa: Ensino Fundamental e Médio” – PSA (PERNAMBUCO, 2013); 3. “Currículo de Português para o Ensino Fundamental” – CPEF (PERNAMBUCO, 2012a).
Clearing the Fog: The Predictive Power of Weather for Employment Reports and their Asset Price Responses
Authors:   Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Wilson Daniel J.
Published: June 2017

This paper exploits vast granular data – with over one million county-month observations – to estimate a dynamic panel data model of weather’s local employment effects. The fitted county model is then aggregated and used to generate in-sample and rolling out-of-sample (“nowcast”) estimates of the weather effect on national monthly employment. These nowcasts, which use only employment and weather data available prior to a given employment report, are significantly predictive not only of the surprise component of employment reports but also of stock and bond market returns on the days of employment reports.
Geomechanical Modeling for Creating New Technologies of Deep Hydrocarbon Fields Development
Authors: Karev Vladimir , Klimov Dmitry , Kovalenko Yury
Published: June 2017

Abstract— The paper presents the results of the experimental investigation of the rock physical properties in relation to issues of creating scientific fundamentals for new hydrocarbon production technologies. Nowadays easily accessible deposits of oil and gas which lies at depths of 2-3 km are gradually being depleted. The production of hydrocarbons from unconventional sources becomes all the more urgent. These include shale gas and oil, Arctic hydrocarbon resources, gas hydrates, coal bed methane, oil and gas from deep horizons. The development of such deposits requires the creation of new technologies. The knowledge of mechanical and filtration properties of rocks lying at great depths is needed for creation of the new oil production technologies. The investigation of the dependence of well stability and permeability of rocks on the stress-strain state which is determined by the pressure in the well and its bottom hole design in conditions of high rock pressure is required also. For the first time the tests of reservoir rocks from the depths of more than 6 km were carried out on the true triaxial load system. The real conditions that occur in the vicinity of the borehole for various bottom designs at lowering pressure were experimentally simulated on the unique experimental facility, Triaxial Independent Load Test System built in the Institute for Problems in Mechanics of the Russian Academy of Science. It is found that the possibility to improve the production rate of a well by increasing pressure drawdown in a well exists despite the low permeability and high strength of such rocks.

Kazakhstan's education is associated with the development of the profound changes of the intellectual, cultural and economic potential. Education System Management - one of the most pressing problems, having a direct relation to the quality and efficiency of the educational institutions. The forms and methods of education management is largely dependent on the characteristics of the country's economic and cultural traditions, the specifics of government and, above all, related to the market economy. Optimization of educational innovation management requires a scientific and methodical study. In the study, there is the need to implement the following types of resources: information, technological, legal, financial, human, social [1].

However, the focus on foreign models of educational process management excessively performed in the higher education system of Kazakhstan, there is a weak focus innovation on solving urgent problems of higher education, the lack of an integrated approach to the creation of educational innovation, which would provide them with the necessary resources, formed the optimal internal and external innovation environment that does not allow to create a balanced mechanism in the process of reforming the higher education system. The results of innovative practices show that higher education everywhere manifest social insecurity innovation. This is reflected in the growing gap in the interests of the major participants in the innovation process - the initiators, organizers and perpetrators; weakened by motivational resource of educational innovations, in particular, because of the unjustifiable expectations of the changes taking place; It is also seen social and technological insecurity educational innovation. This actualizes the problem of optimization of social management innovation in higher education [2].

Initial Assessment on Feasibility of Remanufacturing Practice: Case of Air Conditioners
Authors: Salah Bashir , Alkahtani Mohammed , Ziout Aiman
Published: June 2017

Abstract- Due to the environmental regulations and economic viability, many industries show growing interest in the product recovery. Product recovery strategies (sometimes called end-of-life (EoL)) are recycling, remanufacturing, reuse, and refurbishment of components. Remanufacturing is a process that brings end-of-life product to its “like-new” conditions, the process recover product functions and quality, the remanufactured product is as its equivalent new with same warranty and less purchasing price. The price difference is associated with saving in energy, material and other resources recovered from the EoL product.  The air-conditioning is the most energy consuming sector in Saudi Arabia (the geographical location of the study) where it consume 60-70% of the total residential energy. This study provide initial investigation and assessment  of  Business models for remanufacturing of window air-conditioner., a survey regarding the customer behavior has been conducted, it assesses  how users deal with EoL Air-Conditioner, it also measures their perceptions about the remanufacturing process. Moreover, the paper describes the importance of remanufacturing in the context of reverse logistics. Results show that the cost structure is the driving force of conducting the remanufacturing of the air-conditioner.

PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM TERHADAP PERKAWINAN PENGANUT SEDULUR SIKEP DI KABUPATEN KUDUS
Authors: Ceprudin Ceprudin
Published: June 2017

Abstrak
Perkawinan adalah hak setiap individu. Dalam peraturan perundang-undangan, perkawinan
termasuk peristiwa kependudukan yang harus dicatatkan dalam Administrasi
Kependudukan (Adminduk) karena mempunyai akibat hukum tertentu. Meskipun
pencatatan perkawinan sudah diatur dalam peraturan perundang-undangan, namun masih
ada perkawinan yang belum terlindungi secara hukum. Perkawinan adat penganut Sedulur
Sikep di Kabupaten Kudus menunjukkan adanya perkawinan yang belum bisa dicatatkan
dalam administrasi kependudukan. Berdasar analisis penelitian ditemukan bahwa tidak
bisa dicatatkannya perkawinan penganut Sedulur Sikep di Kabupaten Kudus membuat
mereka tidak mendapatkan hak-hak sipil. Karena itu harus ada perbaikan peraturan
perundang-undangan yang mengatur tentang pencatatan perkawinan, sehingga perkawinan
penganut Sedulur Sikep mendapatkan perlakuan yang sama seperti perkawinan pada
umumnya.

Abstract
Marriage is basically the right of every individual. In the organic legislation, marriage is
regarded as demographic occurrence that must be recorded in the demographic
administration. Registration of marriage is important since it precedes certain legal
consequences. Although the registration of marriage is already stipulated in the legislation,
there is in fact certain marriages that are not properly covered by legal protection. Marriage
performed among the traditional community of Sedulur Sikep in Kudus regency is an
example of a marriage that can not be registered in the demographic administration. The
analysis of this study revealed that the unfeasibility of registration marriage among members of Sedulur Sikep community in Kudus may end up in denial of their civil rights. Therefore, there must be improvement of legislation governing the registration of marriages so that marriage among Sedulur Sikep community may enjoy equal treatment as any other marriage.
Полемика вокруг ‘ибадат между Шигабутдином Марджани и его оппонентами
Authors: Mardanova Dinara
Published: June 2017

Dinara Mardanova's article is focused on the problem of Ijtihād and Taqlīd through the debates of Tatar 'ulama' concerning the reform of Muslim law in the section of worship (ibādah). In connection with the problem of Ijtihād and Taqlīd the following issues are discussed: the question of the night prayer 'isha in the Volga-Ural region, the problem of the authority of legal sources, the question of the use of rational methods of cognition in religion as Shariah evidence. All these issues began to be widely discussed after the publication of the work of the famous writer and scholar Sh. Mardjani Nazura al-hakk in 1870. His work provoked the appearance of a number of critical essays, the most famous of which was Jaruda (1874). The analysis of the unfolding debates between Marjani and his opponents allows to see how Muslim scholars adapted the Islamic legal tradition to the social realities of life in the Russian Empire under the conditions of modernizing traditional society.
Optimization of critical process parameters for amylase production by Bacillus sp. using statistical approach (RSM)
Authors: Singh Rachna , Sharma Deepak Chand , Gupta Mahendra Kumar
Published: June 2017

The aim of this work was to optimize the process parameters through the statistical approach for the production of alpha amylase by Bacillus sp. in submerged fermentation (SMF). Initially critical physical and chemical process parameters influencing the enzyme production were identified by Plackett-Burman method (eleven variables, seven nutritional, two physical and two dummies) were analyzed. Then optimum levels of most influencing parameters affecting amylase production were obtained by CCD and results were analyzed by standard analysis of variance (ANOVA). The effect of interaction of physiochemical parameters on the amylase production (z axis) was studied by plotting three dimensional response surface curves against any two independent variables. A high similarity was observed between the predicted and experimental results, which reflected the accuracy and applicability of RSM to optimize the process for enzyme production. As a result of RSM the optimum values for starch concentration -0.65%, (NH4)2SO4 -0.55% and pH- 8.33. As a result of media optimization, a titre of 1, 22,000 U/L-1 was achieved. A total of 2.4 fold increase in enzyme activity was observed.
Corporalidades y subjetividades sexuales: el caso de las mujeres excombatientes de las guerrillas colombianas
Authors: Mejía Jerez Yuly Andrea , Anctil Avoine Priscyll
Published: June 2017

El ingreso temprano de mujeres a grupos armados al margen de la    ley implica la vivencia de experiencias que transmutan roles de género tradicionales, el cuidado del cuerpo, la construcción de la sexualidad y de las subjetividades. Dentro de la estructura bélica, y posteriormente, en el proceso de reintegración, las mujeres se enfrentan a múltiples decisiones en las distintas etapas de su sexualidad. Con el fin del conflicto armado con las FARC-EP, ellas se encuentran en un nuevo momento  de  sus vidas, pasando del contexto caracterizado por el miedo, la violencia y    las ausencias estatales, a asumir otras posiciones sociales como futuras agentes de cambio. El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre las dimensiones corporales de las mujeres en las guerrillas colombianas, para contrastar el impacto de la violencia y el conflicto en la constitución de las subjetividades desde una dimensión sexual y de género. Para ello, se utiliza la metodología cualitativa de análisis documental y,  además, se tienen  en cuenta observaciones a partir de investigaciones anteriores realizadas con la Corporación Descontamina.

Published: June 2017

The public information disclosure policy has entered its 7th year of implementation since it was enacted in 2008 and began to be implemented in 2010. As with other procedures, monitoring and evaluation are required in the application so that the policy implementation does not deviate from the expected. In this Jokowi administration era, the ideas to realise open government are getting closer to the support of the development of information technology. But how is it implemented in the area? This research wants to photograph the implementation of public information disclosure policy in East Java, consisting of 38 districts/municipalities and 56 units of regional apparatus. The results of this study indicate that for the district or city government, the implementation of this information disclosure policy has been an encouraging development, but not so with the Regional Device Work Unit. Likewise, the Information Management and Documentation Officer also experienced progress although there are still shortcomings in the implementation of its duties.
