Integrasi nasional adalah suatu proses penyatuan atau pembauran berbagai aspek sosial budaya, etimisitas, latar belakang ekonomi ke dalam kesatuan wilayah dan pembentukan bangsa yang harus dapat menjamin terwujudnya keselarasan, keserasian dan keseimbangan dalam mencapai tujuan bersama sebagai suatu bangsa. Faktor pendorong integrasi nasional yaitu faklim sejarah yang menimbulkan rasa senasib seperjuangan, keinginan untuk bersatu rasa cinta tanah air dikalangan Bangsa Indonesia, rasa rela berkorban untuk kepentingan bangsa dan negara. Sedangkan faktor yang heleragan, wilayah negara yang begitu luas adanya ancaman, tantangan, hambatan, gangguan dari luar negeri, lemahnya nilai-nilai budaya bangsa akibat pengaruh budaya asing. Pengembangan integrasi nasional dapat dilakukan melalui strategi dan pendekatan yaitu gaya politik kepemimpin kekuatan lembaga-lembaga politik idiologi nasionan dan kesempatan pembangunan ekonomi.Kata Kunci : Integrasi Nasional

BackgroundCholera remains a major threat in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where some of the highest case fatality risks are reported. Knowing in what months and where cholera tends to occur across the continent can aid in improving efforts to eliminate cholera as a public health concern; though largely due to lack of unified large-scale datasets, no continent-wide estimates exist. In this study we aim to estimate cholera seasonality across SSA. MethodsWe leverage the Global Task Force on Cholera Control (GTFCC) global cholera database with statistical models to synthesize data across spatial and temporal scale in order to infer the seasonality of excess suspected cholera occurrence in SSA. We developed a Bayesian statistical model to infer the monthly risk of excess cholera at the first and/or second administrative levels. Seasonality patterns were then grouped into spatial clusters. Finally, we studied the association between seasonality estimates and hydro-climatic variables.FindingsThe majority of studied countries (24/34) have seasonal patterns in excess cholera, corresponding to approximately 85% of the SSA population. Most countries (19/24) also had sub-national differences in seasonality patterns, with strong differences in seasonality strength between regions. Seasonality patterns clustered into two macro-regions (West Africa and the Sahel vs. Eastern and Southern Africa), which were composed of sub-regional clusters with varying degrees of seasonality. Exploratory association analysis found most consistent and positive correlations between cholera seasonality and precipitation, and to a lesser extent with temperature and flooding.InterpretationWidespread cholera seasonality in SSA offers opportunities for intervention planning. Further studies are needed to study the association between cholera and climate. FundingThe NASA Applied Sciences Program and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

An Open Source Tesseract Based Optical Character Recognizer for Bengali Language
Authors: Islam Redwan
Published: October 2021

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is the process of extracting text from an image. The main purpose of an OCR is to make editable documents from existing paper documents or image files. OCR primarily works in two phases; they are character and word detection. In case of more sophisticated approach, an OCR also works on sentence detection to preserve documents’ structures. In this paper, we would discuss the process of developing an OCR for Bengali language. Lots of efforts have been put on developing an OCR for Bengali. Though some OCRs have been developed, none of them is completely error free. For our thesis, we trained Tesseract OCR Engine to develop an OCR for Bengali language. Tesseract is currently the most accurate OCR engine. This engine was developed at HP labs and currently sponsored by Google. In Tesseract there are two option to training first one is Legacy Training and second is LSTM Training. We do both of them.

Causality and Attributions of Intentionality Predict Belief in the Teleology of Nature
Authors: Roberts Andrew , Handley Simon , Polito Vince
Published: October 2021

To explain the teleology of something is to describe its purpose. Certain things, such as goal directed behaviour or intentional design, clearly have a purpose. However, other things, such as biological and nonbiological natural entities, do not. A prominent theory of teleological reasoning suggests that teleological acceptance is driven by an early-developing understanding that intentional agents have purposes. Recently, it has been proposed that the “goodness of fit” between a structure and a function serves as a cue that teleological explanation is appropriate. Across three large pre-registered studies, we investigated how judgements of structure-function fit and individual differences in anthropomorphism and inhibition of intuitions relate to teleological acceptance (Study One), how the strength of a causal relationship relates to judgements of structure-function fit (Study Two), and how individual differences in anthropomorphism, belief in God, and inhibition of intuitions may facilitate or constrain the transition from a causal belief to teleological acceptance (Study Three). Our results suggest that questions about structure-function fit are interpreted as asking whether there is a causal relationship between a structure and a function, and that this is a necessary but not sufficient condition for teleological belief. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that belief in God and the tendency to anthropomorphise facilitate the transition from a causal relationship to a teleological belief, whereas the tendency to inhibit intuitions constrains this transition. We discuss these findings in relation to existing theoretical and empirical literature, and argue that they reveal several distinct pathways by which such teleological beliefs may be modified.
The Contingent Consequences of Job Insecurity: A Cross-National Investigation of the Effects of Job Insecurity, Employability, and Culture on Employee Outcomes
Authors: Moy Jason HJ , Van Dyne Angelina , Hattrup Kate
Published: October 2021

This study investigated the combined effects of national culture and perceptions of employability on relationships between job insecurity and work and non-work outcomes for individual employees. Data from 28,674 participants in 35 nations were obtained from the 2015 European Working Conditions Survey. Results showed that nation-level differences in individualism/collectivism (I/C), uncertainty avoidance (UA), and masculinity/femininity (M/F) accounted for variation in the degree to which perceptions of employability buffered the negative effects of job insecurity on job satisfaction, work engagement, and subjective well-being. Among more collectivist cultures, employability did less to minimize the effects of job insecurity on job satisfaction, than in more individualistic cultures. Employability also had a weaker effect on buffering the consequences of job insecurity for job satisfaction and work engagement when cultural uncertainty avoidance was higher. And across all three outcome measures, higher levels of job insecurity combined with lower perceptions of employability were consistently more detrimental to individuals in more masculine cultures. Results support the prevailing theory about the mechanisms thought to account for the effects of job insecurity on individuals and suggest several important practical implications for managing a global workforce.
Failure to Replicate Burton, Harris, Shah & Hahn (2021): There is No Belief Update Bias for Neutral Events
Authors: Garrett Neil , Sharot Tali
Published: October 2021

We investigate Burton’s et al.’s, recent findings of a belief update bias for neutral events. First, we find that Burton et al. fail to replicate their own findings in three out of the four experiments they conduct. When aggregating their data over their four experiments (500 participants) the results do not support a belief update bias for neutral events. In an attempt to replicate their findings, we collect a new data set employing the original belief update task design, but with neutral events. A belief update bias for neutral events is not observed. Finally, we highlight the wide range of statistical errors and confounds in Burton et al.’s design and analysis and the misleading statements they make.
Overnight fasting affects avoidance learning and relief
Authors: Papalini Silvia , Laura Neefs , Beckers Tom , Van Oudenhove Lukas , Vervliet Bram
Published: October 2021

Prolonged fasting influences threat and reward processing, two fundamental systems underpinning adaptive behaviors. In animals, overnight fasting sensitizes the mesolimbic-dopaminergic activity governing avoidance, reward, and fear-extinction learning. Despite evidence that overnight fasting may also affect reward and fear learning in humans, effects on human avoidance learning have not been studied yet. Here, we examined the effects of 16h-overnight fasting on instrumental avoidance and relief from threat omission. To this end, 50 healthy women were randomly assigned to a fasting (N=25) or a re-feeding group (N=25) and performed an Avoidance-Relief Task. We found that fasting decreases unnecessary avoidance during signaled safety; this effect was mediated via a reduction in relief pleasantness during signaled absence of threat. A fasting-induced reduction in relief was also found during fear extinction learning. We conclude that fasting optimizes avoidance and safety learning. Future studies should test whether these effects also hold for anxious individuals.

Authors: Scarth Morgan , Havnes Ingrid Amalia , Jørstad Marie L. , McVeigh Jim , Van Hout Marie-Claire , Westlye Lars T. , Torgersen Svenn , Bjørnebekk Astrid
Published: October 2021

Background: Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS), including testosterone and synthetic derivatives, are typically used to increase muscle mass. Many users develop a dependence on these substances, contributing to worsened physical and mental health outcomes. Aspects of personality and executive dysfunction may represent underlying vulnerabilities for developing dependence.Objective: To identify levels of AAS dependence within substance use disorder (SUD) treatment patients and assess the relationship between dependence severity and personality traits and executive function (EF).Methods: Data were collected from patients at 38 SUD treatment facilities in Norway. Questionnaires were completed for measures of personality and EF. Measures of symptoms of AAS dependence were used in latent class analysis to identify sub-groups of patients, which were evaluated for association with EF and personality traits, and compared with a group of non-AAS using SUD patients. Results: Three classes were identified; largely reflecting low, moderate, and high symptoms of dependence. Multinomial regression analyses indicated that moderate and high symptoms were associated with several measures of EF and personality traits, particularly antagonism, disinhibition, psychoticism, and relational capacities, while users with low symptoms exhibited higher capacities for emotional control and shift, and lower negative affectivity, relative to non-AAS using SUD patients. Backward stepwise regressions indicated antagonism, and decreased self-monitoring as key personality and cognitive characteristics of SUD patients with severe AAS dependence.Conclusion: Our findings indicate that specific executive dysfunctions and personality features, particularly those associated with poor emotional control, reduced empathy, and impulsivity are associated with more severe AAS dependence in the SUD population.
A 'Ghetto' of One's Own: Communal Violence, Residential Segregation and Group Education Outcomes in India
Authors: Kalra Aarushi
Published: October 2021

How does ethnic violence and subsequent segregation shape children's lives? Using exogenous variation in communal violence due to a Hindu nationalist campaign tour across India, I show that violence displaces Muslims to segregated neighbourhoods. Surprisingly, I find that post-event, Muslim primary education levels are higher in cities that were more susceptible to violence. For cohorts enrolling after the riots, the probability of attaining primary education decreases by 2.3% every 100 kilometres away from the campaign route. I exploit differences in the planned and actual route to show that this is due to residential segregation of communities threatened by violence.
The material difference in human cognition
Authors: Overmann Karenleigh A.
Published: October 2021

Humans leverage material forms for unique cognitive purposes: We recruit and incorporate them into our cognitive system, exploit them to accumulate and distribute cognitive effort, and use them to recreate phenotypic change in new individuals and generations. These purposes are exemplified by writing, a relatively recent tool that has become highly adept at eliciting specific psychological and behavioral responses in its users, capability it achieved by changing in ways that facilitated, accumulated, and distributed incremental behavioral and psychological change between individuals and generations. Writing is described here as a self-organizing system whose design features reflect points of maximal usefulness that emerged under sustained collective use of the tool. Such self-organization may hold insights applicable to human cognitive evolution and tool use more generally. Accordingly, this article examines the emergence of the ability to leverage material forms for cognitive purposes, using the tool-using behaviors and lithic technologies of ancestral species and contemporary non-human primates as proxies for matters like collective use, generational sustainment, and the nonteleological emergence of design features.

Authors: Mishra B.P.
Published: October 2021

Formal agricultural credit is important for sustainable development of agriculture sector and national economy, particularly in developing countries. Yet, many smallholder farmers lack participation in formal credit market. An investigation was done during 2019 in two main agro-ecological regions (hill and terai region) of western Nepal. Probit model was used to identify the factors affecting the use of formal agricultural credit among smallholder farmers. The results revealed that use of formal agricultural credit increases with age, education, commercial nature of production, and collateral availability, and decreases with number of adult in household, farming experience and farm size. The study concludes with key policy recommendations.

A Tasty Encounter with Routine Dynamics Ideas
Authors: Huang Huayi
Published: October 2021

On Friday 9th April 2021, I attended my first conference with the Routine Dynamics research community. As an interested newcomer to this scene, the event inspired some personal reflections for my own work. To go beyond these personal benefits though, I was also inspired to share the new thinking and wider research directions from this research encounter, with our Exchanges readership. The emerging thoughts and practices from the Routines Dynamics community seems to be a welcoming and inclusive oasis, in the latticework of ideas being developed across our natural, social, and humanities worlds of scholarship. What follows is my attempt to make a little difference to the work of colleagues, in sharing the impact of this intellectual encounter for a wider audience. In reflecting on the events of this conference, I was guided by Johnson (2018)’s suggestions for possible structure and content for this type of article (as distinct and different from original empirical contributions).
The Question of Time for Norbert Elias
Authors: Mastrantonio Monica
Published: October 2021

Norbert Elias is one of the great scholars who calls attention to the need for interdisciplinary studies related to actual societies’ challenges. He was one of the precursors of ‘Figurational Sociology,’ through which human relations are studied in a processual way (micro and macro-social aspects). Elias's focus was to understand these concepts, not as a state of fixed and immutable things, but to understand them in terms of their process. In this report, it is pointed out that the ‘civilizing process’ ended up imposing on individuals a greater number of activities as well as greater dependence and complexity in the social relations network. Such factors required a common denominator to regulate such relationships. In this case, the denominator was called ‘time’. By studying time, we may contribute to correct this erroneous image of a world with watertight compartments such as nature, society, and individuals. These are mixed and interdependent and require an interdisciplinary approach. Interdisciplinary studies of time and what to expect of the future are still waiting to being done.

The launch of the e-musrembang application is expected to accommodate all community aspirations, allowing regional development to be more focused on the community's actual needs. This research aims to determine the efficacy of e-musrembang in development planning in Medan City and the problems or obstacles encountered when using the application. Using qualitative research methods, this study focuses on the Medan Denai District. Interviews, observation, and documentation were used as data collection techniques. Miles, Huberman, and Saldana's interactive analyses were used to analyze the data. The study's findings concluded that had not been effectively implemented the e-Musrenbang system. There is no significant difference between the achievement of the e-Musrenbang system's objectives and the implementation b From the achievement of the purposes of the e-Musrenbang system, and there is no significant difference from the implementation before after the e-Musrenbang. Citizens' misunderstanding in the e-Musrenbang system is judged due to the lack of good communication between the government and its citizens. In the adaptation stage, the Kelurahan and Medan Denai Subdistrict Governments, as implementers in the use of the system, are still rigid and do not understand well the use of the e-Musrenbang system.

This article or writing aims to discuss the application of technology and certain mechanism as the impact of a disruptive era on internal border control in the Schengen area. The problem is focused on the internal border system which got reintroduced as a countermeasure against the 2015 Migrant Crisis in Europe. The analysis conducted in this research will measure whether the application of technology gives a practical benefit in alleviating internal border controls or negative impact such as discrimination towards refugees and immigrants in the Schengen area. In order to approach this problem a theoretical reference is used from international relations’ perspective, as a part of the political science greater scope on the issue. The data is collected through library research and analyzed qualitatively. This study concludes that various improvements and improvisation were made in the implementation of border controls. There are several steps taken by the EU for border control checks by utilizing technology such as Visa Information System (VIS), Schengen Information System (SIS), European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS), and FRONTEX. These technologies allow Schengen states to share visa data about individual who enters European Union from its various borders, enable seamless cooperation regarding border controls and law enforcement and visitor tracking between countries. This study conclude that the application of innovative technology on internal border control in Schengen Area is well applied and projectively very useful to tackle the security concerns and conflicting interests within the Schengen area and remove the needs of unnecessarily long physical internal border controls.
Conflicts in the Nile Basin and the Change of Power Balance
Authors: Malik Dalia
Published: October 2021

Ethiopian–Egyptian relations have seen remarkable tension since Ethiopia began the Renaissance Dam construction in 2011, and tensions have since escalated when Ethiopia announced the filling stage. While Ethiopia defends its project due to its economic importance, Egypt fears its negative effects. The paper discusses the hydro-political differences between the Nile Basin countries, particularly Egypt and Ethiopia, regarding the issue of water sharing and the means of settling it. It also discusses the consequent diplomatic problems and changes in the balance of power in Africa with the rise of Ethiopia as a regional power. The paper has found that the worsening of the Nile Basin situation is a result of the persistence of the conflicting parties and their adherence to their positions with no willingness to make concessions. Given the lack of a comprehensive legal agreement to regulate the exploitation and sharing of Nile water, the only way to put an end to this conflict is through cooperation between all basin countries.

Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis is an infectious disease of zoonotic character with worldwide distribution, transmitted by ticks of the species Rhipicephalus sanguineus that carry Ehrlichia canis, the bacterium responsible for the disease. The disease has three phases: acute, subclinical and chronic, whose approach and accurate diagnosis depend directly on the disease. Diagnostic techniques are based on direct blood analysis, molecular biology and also the presence of. This study was carried out a comparative analysis of the diagnostic efficacy between the techniques of enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) and real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) with clinical / hematological diagnosis. Through the analysis of the presence of genetic material from E. canis and the detection of anti-IgG from Ehrlichia spp. in blood samples from 49 dogs in Recife metropolitan region of Pernambuco. The results of the comparison between clinical / hematological and ELISA were divergent in 33% of cases. Furthermore, regarding the two methods (ELISA and qPCR), it is concluded that qPCR is the most sensitive method when used in the acute phase of the disease. ELISA proved to be essential for a late evaluation of the disease, when is reduced the amount of pathogen but it already produced specific antibody for a disease, decreasing the possibility of false-negative results. In addition, reliability in the clinical examination, even combined with hematology, in particular the platelet count, cannot be considered definitive, and it is very important to associate other diagnostic tests to complement the diagnosis. Thus, in our results, the importance of using complementary tests for the development of a safe diagnosis of the disease was clear.

Comment passer de données ouvertes à des données utiles en matière de finances locales ? L’offre data.ofgl.fr
Authors: Rougier Thomas , Laroche Nicolas
Published: October 2021

L’Observatoire des Finances et de la Gestion publique Locales participe à la diffusion et à la valorisation des données financières, fiscales et de gestion, des collectivités territoriales françaises. Sur ces thématiques, les données ouvertes, notamment par des administrations centrales, sont nombreuses. Elles contribuent à la transparence et à la modernisation de l’action publique. Mais leur exploitation directe par les utilisateurs se heurte à de nombreux freins techniques et conceptuels. Le portail data.ofgl.fr ambitionne de lever certains de ces freins pour faciliter les réutilisations possibles. Dans ce but, différents moyens sont mobilisés : mise à disposition d’outils de consultation et d’analyse puissants, anticipation des traitements les plus utiles, explication des concepts et des méthodes utilisés, présentation de datavisualisations pertinentes…
Le mirage de l’amortissement de la dette sociale repoussé au 31 décembre 2033
Authors: Zachayus Anna
Published: October 2021

Les lois organique et ordinaire du 7 août 2020 relatives à la dette sociale et l’autonomie ont organisé une reprise de dette record par la CADES qui a impliqué un nouveau report de sa date d’extinction. Cette réforme a conduit également à une extension du champ matériel de la dette sociale éloignant ainsi davantage la perspective d’un amortissement de celle-ci.
La gestion des ressources humaines à la DGFiP, d’une gestion administrative à une approche personnalisée et prospective
Authors: Tanguy François
Published: October 2021

Confrontée à la nécessité de pacifier le climat social, de trouver les voies et moyens d’une gestion robuste d’effectifs importants, de répondre à un souci d’égalitarisme poussé et à la volonté d’adopter la règle du «mieux disant, la DGFiP a été amenée à reproduire un «modèle» RH caractérisé par une forte centralisation et une approche très administrative. Elle est en train de transformer son «modèle RH» pour rebâtir une gestion RH plus transparente, plus ouverte, davantage tournée vers l’humain et plus responsabilisante avec l’ambition de faire de la gestion des ressources humaines un facilitateur, capable de fonder un «pacte social» empreint de confiance et de responsabilité.

Znaczenie rzeczownika φθόνος w Mdr 2,24
Authors: Zieliński Marcin
Published: October 2021

Interpretacja rzeczownika φθόνος w Mdr 2,24 może rodzić pewne trudności. We egzegezie φθόνος jest generalnie odnoszony do postawy diabła, który, zazdrosny o człowieka, buntuje się przeciw Bogu. Takie znaczenie pojawia się już w literaturze apokryficznej i patrystycznej. Ten artykuł ukazuje kontekst analizowanego wersetu, kwestie związane z jego tłumaczeniem oraz możliwe interpretacje. Bada najpierw naturę śmierci, stara się ukazać, jaka rzeczywistość kryje się za terminem διάβολος i dlaczego autor opisuje jego działanie jako motywowane zawiścią. Opierając się na tekstach Filona z Aleksandrii argumentuje, że zawiść rozumiana jako smutek związany z brakiem różnych dóbr, które posiadają inni, to tylko określenie istoty tego uczucia. Wydaje się, że autor natchniony chciał przede wszystkim ukazać zawiść jako postawę negatywną, radykalnie przeciwstawną idei mądrości, cnoty i bliskości Boga. W takiej interpretacji zawiść objawia stan moralnego zła, absolutnego braku mądrości, który skutkuje oddzieleniem od Boga, wprowadza niezgodę między ludźmi i ostatecznie doprowadza do duchowej śmierci.
OIC Resolutions on the “Afghan Question” in 1980–1989
Authors: Rabush Taisiya V.
Published: October 2021

This article is devoted to a review of the political position of the Organization Islamic Conference (OIC) and its evolution regarding the Afghan armed conflict of 1980–1989. The source base for the article is the texts of the resolutions on the situation in Afghanistan and the final communiqués of the OIC Islamic Conferences of Foreign Ministers, the coordination meetings of the OIC Foreign Ministers and the Islamic Conferences at the highest level. The first section of the article examines the extraordinary session of the OIC Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers held in January 1980, which discussed the “Afghan question” and the decisions taken therein laid the foundations for the OIC's position on the Afghan armed conflict. The second section examines all subsequent OIC resolutions on Afghanistan and their features. The OIC solidarized with the UN and the Non-Aligned Movement in its attitude to the situation in Afghanistan, although there were differences in approaches to certain issues – for example, since January 1980, the OIC began to invite members of Afghan anti-government groups to all Islamic conferences as representatives of this country. The OIC member states in relation to the “Afghan issue” showed greater solidarity within the framework of this organization than the UN member states or the Non-Aligned Movement in relation to the same issue, although individual countries expressed reservations on the “Afghan” resolutions of the OIC. The position of the Organization of the Islamic Conference regarding the Afghan issue remained stable throughout the 1980s, undergoing minor changes.
