Structure analysis of small crystals is important in synthetic organic chemistry, pharmaceutical and material sciences, and related areas, as the conformation of these molecules may differ in large and small crystals, thus affecting the interpretation of their functional properties and drug efficacy. From small crystals, X-ray and electron beams could furnish electron densities and Coulomb potentials of target molecules, respectively. The two beams provide distinctly different information, and this potential has not been fully explored. Here we present the detailed structure of an organic molecule, rhodamine-6g by X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) and electron crystallography from the same sample batch of microcrystals. This is the first organic molecular structure determined using XFEL at subatomic resolution. Direct comparison between the electron-density and the Coulomb-potential maps together with theoretical models based on Poisson’s equation shows that the position of hydrogen atoms depends on bond type and charge distribution. The combined approach could lead to better insights into their chemical and/or binding properties for a broad range of organic molecules.
The Arab League has No Bark and No Bite
Authors: Hedstrom Elisabeth
Published: November 2021

Abstract Along with a moment of peace in the middle of the 20th century came large changes in the world order; namely the rise of newly independent nations and the formation of supranational organisations. The Middle East was the first region to establish an intergovernmental security network after 1945 when the Arab League was created. While the institution has had several opportunities to prove itself capable of uniting and pacifying a region often described to be “without regionalism,” it has rather served as a tool in the toolbox of Arab nationalist leaders like Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser to solidify their political legitimacy and maintain a strict policy of non-interference. The League’s failure to provide a place for mediation and resolution of regional conflicts further undermines its effectiveness. The Arab Spring that swept across the region beginning in 2009 brought optimistic projections for the League’s capacity to deal with the conflict, particularly following the League’s suspension of Syria following brutal repression of demonstrations in 2010. Is the failure of the League a product poor design at its offset or could it provide a hopeful forecast for increased regional cooperation and peacebuilding in the Middle East? Without bark and without bite, the latter will be difficult to achieve.
Sport Diplomacy: Sport’s Impact as a Form of Soft Power on Peacebuilding and Nation-Building in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Authors: McDuff Ender
Published: November 2021

Since the founding of the first Israeli and Palestinian soccer clubs in 1906 and 1908, respectively, sport has played an intimate role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Whether as a training ground for counter-insurgency operations or an extension of the nation’s foreign policy apparatus, sport has been utilized by both parties as a tool for peacebuilding and nation-building. The purpose of this article is to examine whether sport, through what is termed sport diplomacy, can help establish the conditions necessary for successful peace negotiations in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. To this effect, the paper adopts the analytical lens of sport as a form of soft power. Following this framework, the paper considers how sport diplomacy operates as a tool for image-building, constructing a platform for dialogue, trust building, and as a catalyst for reconciliation in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The article concludes that sport can indeed help establish the conditions needed for successful peace negotiations; however, sport should not yet be employed as a path to reconciliation until such time as a political peace is firmly established.
Lebanon and Iraq: Two Distinct Demonstrations of Confessionalism’s Failure as a Means to Manage Ethnic and Religious Pluralism
Authors: Mohsen Nour
Published: November 2021

The Iraqi and Lebanese political systems stemmed from each country’s distinctive mosaic of sub-national identities but have been deemed corrupt and incompetent, prompting ongoing protests and calls for unity in both contexts. However, this dissatisfaction is unsurprising given the challenging task of translating the ethnic, linguistic, and religious diversity that characterizes each population into an overarching national identity. The Lebanese and Iraqi political systems have attempted to manage ethnic and religious pluralism through confessionalism, or a “consociational government which distributes political and institutional power proportionally among religious sub-communities.” This paper argues that Lebanon and Iraq are two specific examples of confessionalism, demonstrating its failure to manage ethnic and religious pluralism, which seems to inevitably beget sectarianism—a discriminatory structure in which each group advances its privileges at the expense of others. Nevertheless, confessional systems are challenging to transform, namely because they institutionalize different ethnic or religious groups’ identities instead of promoting a unified, national identity.
The ICC-African Relationship: More Complex Than a Simplistic Dichotomy
Authors: Rowe Emily
Published: November 2021

The International Criminal Court’s (ICC) legitimacy, as an independent and unbiased international criminal court, has been brought into question, for all 30 official cases opened to this date are against African nationals. The ICC-African relationship is often framed in this excessively simplistic dichotomy: either the ICC is regarded as a Western neo-imperial colonial tool, or as a legal institutional champion of global human rights, rid of the political. Nevertheless, each obfuscates the complexity of this relationship by purporting either extreme.  Rather, it is the legal framework of the ICC that necessitates selectivity bias against nationals from developing countries, in particular, African states. The principle of complementarity and the United Nations Security Council’s (UNSC) referral power embedded in the ICC’s legal framework, allows for African nations to be disproportionately preliminarily examined, investigated, and then tried, while enabling warranted cases against nationals from developed states to circumvent such targeting. Therefore, the primary issue lies not in cases the ICC has opened, but in the cases it has not.

Research of Bibliographic References in Math-Net.Ru using the Journal Citation Graph
Authors: Печников Андрей Анатольевич , Чебуков Дмитрий Евгеньевич
Published: November 2021

According to the portal Math-Net.Ru a graph of journal citation is constructed. To increase the reliability of the model, the citation time interval was chosen from 2010 to 2021, when the distribution of citation articles stabilized at the level of 3500-4500 citations per year. The structure of link aging is studied and it is shown that their half-life is equal to 8 years. Therefore, the publication date of the cited articles was limited to 2002. For the constructed citation graph, the main properties, such as a small diameter and a high density, are obtained, indicating a high level of scientific communication in the Math-Net.Ru. The absence of the “Matthew effect” as a pronounced advantage in quoting established journals in relation to less well-known ones is shown. Adequacy of the journal citation graph Math-Net.Ru as a model of scientific communication confirmed by comparing the ranking of journals in the citation graph with their SCIENCE INDEX rating in eLIBRARY.RU. A direct moderate relationship between the two rankings is shown. A number of meaningful conclusions are drawn from the analysis of the citation graph.
Effects of genotype, horn and social rank on agonistic behaviours during food competition in goats
Authors: TÖLÜ Cemil , SAVAŞ Türker
Published: November 2021

Objective: This study aimed at investigating the agonistic interactions among goats in food competition based on genotype, horn and dominance rank.
Material and Methods: After determining the dominance rank of the Maltese and Turkish Saanen genotypes, a mixed group consisting of horned, polled and both horned and polled animals, 2 to 5 years old, consisting of 54 heads in total, nine heads each and a total of 6 groups with linear social rank were formed. The observations were evaluated on the basis of their agonistic behaviors in competition for roughage (oat hay) placed in the feeders.
Results: Genotype significantly affected the frequency of agonistic behaviors except for displacement behavior in feeder (P≤0.05). Aggressive biting and threatening behaviors in Turkish Saanen were 2.36 and 1.78 times higher than in Maltese (P≤0.0001). The rate of absence at through of Turkish Saanen goats, which displayed higher aggression frequency was higher that of Maltese goats (P=0.0159). The frequency of agonistic behaviors except for flank butting differed according to horn groups (P≤0.05). Total mean frequency of total aggressive behaviors in the descending order ranked 27.73 times/h for hornless, 23.47 times/h for mixed and 18.48 times/h for horned groups. The absence at the feeder differed in horned groups and ranked in the descending order 38% for horn, 16% for mixed and 8% for hornless (P<0.0001).
Conclusion: Maltese genotype is more peaceful than the Turkish Saanen genotype and this peacefulness may be useful in terms of food competition.

Published: November 2021

This experiment was carried out to determine structural functional changes which could be caused due to uses of dexamethasone at daily therapeutic doses in rabbits for a reasonable period. Ten adult male rabbits were randomly divided into two equal groups control and treatment. Animals of the treatment group were intramuscularly injected with dexamethasone sod. citrate (0.06 mg/100g.B.W.) for 14 days. Animals of control group received the same dose of normal physiological saline solution blood samples were collected every other day until 48 hours after the last injection serum was isolated for measurement of calcium concentrations. At the end of the experiment tissue samples from the parathyroid glands were isolate to prepare histological stained sections . Dexamethasone did not cause significant changes in serum concentration of calcium of treated group compared with its concentrations in control group. Light microscopic examination of hematoxylin eosion stained sections of parathyroid gland showed enlargement and increase in number of light chief cells indicating increased secretory activity due to dexamethasone injection. The increased of parathyroid gland activity explain the maintenance of total calcium level within the normal range in spite of the expected hypocalcemia due to dexamethasone administration.

Jakarta, Mental Landscape, and Social Issues : Case Study of Rindu Kami Pada-Mu
Authors: Imanjaya Ekky
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Although Jakarta seems to be the most favorable setting for Indonesian films, most Jakarta films are not about the city or its people, but rather about a large town with no name (Jufri (eds.) 1992: 23). Asrul Sani highlights the importance of showing physical pictures such as prominent buildings and adequate clothing, and a mental landscape.  In Andre Bazin’s term, the mental landscape shows the "spiritual vitality" of one city on-screen, which construes s specific indications referring to that particular city.  Some social and gender issues within the films will be revealed and questioned  by exploring the mental landscape. This paper will discuss Rindu Kami pada-Mu  (Of Love and Eggs, Garin Nugroho, 2004). I  try to answer the question: how does Rindu Kami represent post-Reform Jakarta and its social and gender issues?   I argue that Rindu Kami pada-Mu represents the backdoors of Post-1998 Jakarta. Not only depicting the physical and mental landscape of lower-class society, such as a slum market, the film also portrays the psychological developments and achievements of urban people. They struggle against the remaining ideology of the New Order (State Ibuism, military-political system) and its concrete implementations (domestic violence, demolitions) in social issues. By doing textual analysis, using theories of Mental Landscape and  Stuart Hall’s Representation, I will elaborate on "the other side of Jakarta" and its social issues, namely solidarity and communication Issues. Gender issues, such as the depiction of negative male characters and masculine militarism, will be discussed.

Published: November 2021

Developments in the current era of globalization are very dependent on the economic sector which is the benchmark of success carried out by the government. The role of the community in national development in the economic field is the existence of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). To increase the role of MSMEs as a benchmark for the success of the economic sector, there must be support from the government, such as assistance for business owners with limited costs. The purpose of this study is to determine community business groups as a measure of the level of business, making it easier for the government to provide assistance. The K-Means Clustering method is a method used for grouping business levels based on the income that exists in today's society. The result of this research is a website-based business-level grouping system used by the Cooperatives and SMEs Office by grouping them into micro, small and medium-sized businesses based on income/assets.

The Annah Rais Pratuokng and the Practical Appearance of Re-invented Musical Instruments
Authors: Musib Ahmad Faudzi
Published: November 2021

The Annah Rais pratuokng is a traditional musical instrument of the Bidayuh. It is also known as
a simple idiochord chordophone. It is made of a petung bamboo, and the sound faculty is
equivalent to the functions of the Bidayuh community gong set. The sound radiator meaning is
made up of tawak, satuk and canang. A similar tube zither made of bamboo,
named pretong or sretong, is used by the Bidayuh of Bau. The three-string sound radiators
are kromong, canang, gong, plus the tawak and gedabak. Pratuokng sound radiators are like the
gongs of the Bidayuh. According to Horsbourgh's observation, "... gongs... are both a musical
instrument and a representation of wealth”2. The Annah Rais Bidayuh gong set, privately owned
by the villagers, can be typically played every year for ritual practice as well as for entertainment
during the Gawai celebration on the first and second June. The audio collection of the Ethnology
Section of the Sarawak Museum provides similar recordings from other occasions than played
duringGawai Panggah. Also, some groups’ celebrations among the Bidayuh Biata, Bidayuh
Selakau, and Lara, Bidayuh Lara were recorded. Few recordings were collected in Annah Rais
between 1988 and 1998, which still maintain the same settings as those recorded in Kupuo Saba
of Annah Rais to this date. In the context of the use of gongs during celebrations, the
representations of gong tones can also be found on a pratuokng. One point of debate in the
literature about tube zithers is, whether the voice functions found in the gong collection mimic
the string voices found on the pratuokng or the other way round. Does this fact serve as a
featured phenomenon to the actual appearance of re-invented musical instruments? Does it
contribute to its sustainable appearance today?
Digital Representations of Chinese Teahouse Music
Authors: Moore Corey
Published: November 2021

Platforms such as YouTube feature materials titled “Teahouse in Ancient China - Historical Ambience
XXABSTRACT Music” or “Tea Ceremony Music”. Prima facie, these have parallels with the modern Western
concept of the “coffee shop playlist”, which has become quite commonplace as a study or work
aid. However, the passive listening habits associated with these kinds of playlists contrast with
the varied entertainment culture experienced in the functioning teahouses of modern China,
where performative aspects are the focus, for example.
In this paper, I explore how Chinese teahouse music is presented on YouTube, drawing
comparisons between playlists accompanied by static images and samples of recorded
performances found on the platform. Finally, I discuss the potential problems arising from such
representations of the Chinese teahouse.
Exploring Ethiopian Instrumental Music and Musicians
Authors: Teffera Timkehet
Published: November 2021

In many Ethiopian traditional cultures, vocal music dominates the musical repertoire. It is only
in a handful of traditional contexts, where solely instrumental music becomes part of the
repertoire. Contrary to this, however, the modern music domain in Ethiopia offers a wide range
of instrumental music. The root of instrumental music in Ethiopia is, most probably, connected
with the emergence of independent/private bands in the early 1960s. These modern bands with
highly trained Ethiopian musicians, among others, offered ‘light-music’ in hotels and restaurants.
In the initial periods, their repertoire mainly entailed re-arranged international melodies. The
advancement of the modern music paved a way to increasing musical creativity over the decades
to follow. My presentation will attempt to look at instrumentals performed with western music
instruments, of which the large part derives from already existing traditional and modern songs.
Representative musical pieces will be given special focus in terms of their instrumentation, rearrangement,
melodic and metro-rhythmic structures, form and style along with their function,
meaning and understanding.
Mega-Sporting events and the politics of nation-building: a comparison of the 2010 South African and the 2014 and 2016 Brazilian cases
Authors: Jung Hoyoon
Published: November 2021

It is widely acknowledged that mega-sporting events play a powerful role in nationbuilding
in their host countries, and many scholars have empirically demonstrated this
relationship. The 2010 South Africa FIFA World Cup provided a potent vehicle through
which national unity and integration could be successfully promoted. However, more
recent Brazilian experiences in the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympics
proved that an identical outcome is not always the case. This study examines how the
hosting of mega-sporting events in South Africa and Brazil yielded contrasting effects
on nation-building. Events in these two countries are compared to explore how two
analogous societies that hosted mega-sporting events at a similar time ultimately
experienced completely different outcomes. It is argued that differences in the cost of
these mega-events, different economic circumstances and, differences in the
characteristics and impact of social movements in the two countries were major
contributing factors to the divergence.
The Near Abasement of Uganda Hotels’ Staff Altruistic Behaviour by COVID-19 Pandemic: A Relief Model
Authors: Gukiina Joshua , Lamunu Elizabeth
Published: November 2021

This paper aims to analyze the relationship between employee optimism, status competitiveness, interpersonal adaptability and employee altruism during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, it examined the mediating effect of interpersonal adaptability and employee optimism in the stated relationship. A quantitative study was conducted using a sample of 303 respondents that constituted both managers and employees from 70 selected hotels in Uganda shortly after the end of the first lockdown in July, 2020. The associated hypotheses were tested using the Smart-PLS 3.2 software. Once employees are optimistic, undergo free and fair competition for any position, and feel that they freely interact with one another, then they are bound to devote themselves to the welfare of one another at all costs. It examined employee optimism, status competitiveness, and interpersonal adaptability as explanations of employee altruism. This is in addition to the mediation effect of interpersonal adaptability and employee optimism in the stated relationship. In terms of its value, when employees have positive expectations regardless of the current challenges they undergo, there is fair competition for all positions in the organization, and that they interact freely, they can offer help for others’ welfare. Keywords: employee optimism, status competitiveness, interpersonal adaptability, employee altruism, organizational citizenship behavior and COVID-19
Russian Foreign Policy: Three Historical Stages and Two Future Scenarios
Authors: Karaganov Sergei
Published: November 2021

There have been several stages in Russia’s foreign policy since 1991. From a naive and idealistic pro-Western course, to ‘getting up from its knees’, to asserting itself as an independent great power. Around 2018, this trajectory reached a plateau, with the potential for decline. Since then, Russia and the world began to face fresh challenges and an almost qualitatively different environment. Even before the start of the epidemic in 2020, it was clear that Russia required a new foreign policy, built on what had been achieved in previous decades, but geared towards the future. This would include a strong ideology, focus on internal growth and development, and the development a streamlined and more cost-effective approach to foreign policy to adjust to a more turbulent and chaotic external environment. Despite growing international chaos and unpredictability, two scenarios for Russian foreign policy are surfacing. An optimistic one in which Russia successfully adapts to these changing circumstances, and a less optimistic one where it continues its current course of internal development, failing to live up to its full potential, but nevertheless still retaining the ability to play an independent and significant role in world affairs.

Authors: Denisov Igor , Lukin Alexander
Published: November 2021

This article examines the state and prospects of Russia’s policy toward China. We look at recent trends in the evolution of the world order, the history of Moscow-Beijing relations, and the changes in the balance of power between Russia and China to offer a forecast of Russia’s China policy in the near term. Special attention is paid to the role of the 2001 Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship, and Cooperation. The authors conclude that, despite the Treaty’s significance, the international situation – and indeed the relative strengths of the two countries – have significantly changed over the past 20 years. The new conditions will inevitably compel Russia to adjust its policy toward China. Moscow, as always, will seek to develop its political and economic partnership with Beijing. However, it will likely move toward hedging against risks that excessive dependence on China could bring about.
From ‘Greater Europe’ to Confrontation: Is a ‘Common European Home’ Still Possible?
Authors: Ryzhkov Vladimir
Published: November 2021

Over the past thirty years, relations between Russia and the EU have gone from the idea of a ‘Common European home’ and ‘the unification of everything except institutions’ to periods of fading partnership, culminating in the post-Crimean crisis and the current systemic confrontation over geopolitics and values. Today, the EU and Russia seem to be irreconcilable in terms of values, domestic politics, and geopolitical approaches. For the time being, the most likely scenario for EU-Russia relations will be tense coexistence with cooperation restricted by a climate of general mistrust. The best prospects for constructive cooperation will come from a common commitment to pragmatic ‘neighborliness’. Nevertheless, given the turbulence and unpredictability of international politics a return to “Greater European” integration cannot be entirely ruled out. The fundamental conditions for such a rapprochement still exist, though critical internal processes and external issues need to be resolved before this process can begin.
A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DO MULTICULTURALISMO CRÍTICO NA CONSTRUÇÃO DE UM CURRÍCULO EMANCIPATÓRIO DO EDUCADOR: O CASO DO CENTRO DE ENSINO “ARISTIDES LOBÃO” EM BARÃO DE GRAJAÚ-MA.

Published: November 2021

Esta investigação tem por objetivo central analisar a contribuição do Multiculturalismo Crítico na perspectiva da construção de um currículo emancipatório do educador, potencialmente capaz de transformar a escola em um espaço acolhedor onde as diferenças sejam vistas como posibilidades de contrução de novos saberes, de novos valores voltados para o respeto, a tolerancia e a convivencia democrática, considerando a Constituição brasileira, os PCNs e a LDB 9394/96. Esta pesquisa tem como fundamento teórico os estudos de Peter Mc Laren que trata do tema do ponto de vista crítico, sugerindo que o mesmo se constitua a base das trasformaciones políticas e sociais. O autor apresenta a diversidade cultural desvinculada da visão folclórica que limita a pluralidade cultural. Colaborando com esses estudos encontram-se Canen, Taylor, Hall, Candau, Moreira, Silva que postulam a Educação Multicultural Critica como uma concepção capaz de desenvolver nos educadores e educandos a sensibilidade para perceberno contexto escolar e seu entorno a pluralidade de culturas e de valores servindo como uma resposta a tantas situaçõesque ameaçam a expressividade de grupos inferiorizados, reprimindo as diversas formas de discriminação. Entre os estudiosos que tratam de Currículo Emancipatório houve destaque para Sacristàn, Giroux e Paulo Freire que desaprovam a racionalidade técnica e instrumental, que imputa ao currículo uma dimensão utilitarista, ignorando a dimensão histórica, cultural, ética e política do conhecimento. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, de corte transversal, não experimental. Utilizou- se como técnicas para coleta de dados a análise documental e um questionário com perguntas fechadas aplicado a 15 professores do Ensino Médio do Centro de Ensino “Aristides Lobão” na cidade de Barão de Grajaú- MA. Entre as principais conclusões encontradas se pode mencionar que a construção de um Currículo Emancipatóriopassa pela Educação Multicultural Crítica, uma abordagem capaz de desenvolver nos educadores a sensibilidade para perceber no ambiente escolar a pluralidade de culturas e de valores servindo como uma resposta a tantas situações que ameaçam a expressividade de grupos inferiorizados, reprimindo as diversas formas de discriminação.

Differential expression of long intergenic non-coding RNA 01140 in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2021

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of a long intergenic non-coding RNA known as LINC01140 when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. LINC01140 was also differentially expressed in lymph node metastasis in human breast cancer. LINC01140 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of LINC01140 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with basal-like breast cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. LINC01140 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.
PENERAPAN ASPEK PASAR DAN PEMASARAN DALAM STUDI KELAYAKAN BISNIS
Authors: khasanah uswatun
Published: November 2021

Pengertian pasar secara sederhana dapat diartikan sebagai tempat bertemunya para penjual dan pembeli untuk melakukan transaksi. Pengertian ini mengandung arti pasar memiliki tempat atau lokasi tertentu sehingga memungkinkan pembeli dan penjual bertemu untuk melakukan transaksi jual produk baik barang maupun jasa. Pendapat ini tak salah karena pengertian masyarakat memang demi kian adanya. Namun dalam praktiknya pengertian pasar dapat lebih luas lagi. Artinya pembeli dan penjual tidak harus bertemu di suatu tempat untuk melakukan transaksi, tetapi cukup melalui sarana elektronik seperti telepon, faksimili, atau melalui internet. Dalam pengertian di atas pasar memiliki lokasi atau tempat tertentu, sehingga memungkinkan pembeli dan penjual bertemu untuk melakukan transaksi. Namun dalam pengertian pasar dapat terjadi di sembarang tempat melalui berbagai sarana dan prasarana yang ada. Pengertian lain yang lebih luas tentang pasar adalah himpunan pem- beli nyata dan pembeli potensial atas suatu produk. Dari pengertian ini mengandung arti bahwa pasar merupakan kumpulan atau kumpulan dari para pembeli, baik pembeli nyata maupun pembeli potensial atas suatu produk atau jasa tertentu.

LaserTRAM-DB: A Time Resolved Analysis Module for the complete reduction of Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry data
Authors: Lubbers Jordan , Kent Adam , Russo Chris
Published: November 2021

LaserTRAM-DB is a dashboard for the complete processing pipeline of Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) data in complex materials such as geologic samples. As LA-ICP- MS data in geologic samples frequently have multiple phases, inclusions, and other compositional complexities within them that do not represent the material of interest, user interaction is required to filter unwanted signals out of the overall ablation signal. LaserTRAM-DB allows the user to filter which portion of the ablation peak is utilized in calculating concentrations, subsequently allowing for more accurate data to be obtained. Furthermore, it allows for the processing of both individual spot analysis data and a line of spots gathered in rapid succession, reducing the time required for data reduction while preserving spatial definition and still ensuring data quality.
