Critical Social Analysis of Crisis
Authors: Ziotti Narita Felipe , Morelock Jeremiah
Published: December 2021

In this article, we offer a critical social analysis of crisis in light of capitalist development and, above all, in the post-2008 world. We discuss five approaches in the social sciences that deal with the problem of crisis and develop some theore­tical lines for a critical approach to the theme. We argue that precarity can be an important topic for grasping the current crises via critical approaches. The text also presents the six articles that are part of the issue we edited for Praktyka Teoretyczna entitled “Latency of the crisis.”
L’inquiétante sincérité : Baudelaire et Chopin lus par André Gide
Authors: Voegele Augustin
Published: December 2021

Why does André Gide so often compare Chopin to Baudelaire? For several reasons: because for him, the two artists are unique, irreplaceable, incomparable; because both were initially misunderstood; and because they are both classics of the nineteenth century. In other words, what distinguishes them, according to Gide, is their aesthetics of discretion, which is verysimilar to the one he develops in his own works – particularly those in which he defends the homosexual cause.
„Odgadnąć i uzewnętrznić wielką tajemnicę […] Chopinowskiej muzyki” – Dusze niektórych melodii. Chopin Cezarego Jellenty
Authors: Orłowska Karolina
Published: December 2021

The article constitutes a detailed analysis and interpretation of one of the most important texts written at the turn of the twentieth century, which was devoted to the reception and interpretation of Frédéric Chopin’s compositions in the Young Poland period. In his work, Cezary Jellenta presents the nervous perception of the Polish composer’s music typical of the era and refers in his reflections to numerous works of painting and both Polish and world literature, which perfectly illustrates the fascination with the idea of the correspondence of arts. It is also a testimony to the foundations of the emerging music criticism and evidence of the undying adoration for Frédéric Chopin’s works.
Fryderyk Chopin i Łesia Ukrainka. Per me
Authors: Trofymuk Myroslav
Published: December 2021

The key word of the essay is per me, as I present in it my own reminiscence from my childhood and youth, which was when I first came into contact with the works of two exceptional maestros: Frédéric Chopin and Lesya Ukrainka (the pen name of Larysa Kosach). Chopin created musical poetry, while Lesya – a rhythmic and melodic verbal poetry. The dialogue of the two authors sounds amazing, uncovering an optimistic apotheosis of survival and the trauma of loss – the states expressed in Chopin’s Marche funèbre and by Lesya Ukrainka in her poetry cycle devoted to this composition.The temporarily mature understanding of per me in both these creations also resulted from the trauma caused by the loss of close relatives (first, the grandad at a very young age) and hence became the drive for discovering the content of art and the means of expression characteristic to various branches of art.
IDENTIFICATION OF MULTIPLE BUBBLES IN TURKISH FINANCIAL MARKETS: EVIDENCE FROM GSADF APPROACH
Authors: GÖK Remzi
Published: December 2021

This study examines the explosive behavior in the five local market prices of stock indices (in USD and TRY),

bond, CDS, gold, and currency exchange rate of USDTRY at weekly observations over the sample period

between 2005 and 2021. We find strong evidence of bubble formations in bond, gold, and currency markets

during the crisis (financial and pandemic, such as ongoing COVID-19 outbreak) and non-crisis periods.

The findings show both unidirectional and bidirectional causal linkages under the homoscedasticity and

heteroscedasticity assumptions. Additionally, the causation is most pronounced under the homoscedastic

model between the currency market with the CDS, gold, and stock markets.
Subsidising Formal Childcare Versus Grandmothers' Time: Which Policy is More Effective?
Authors: Osuna Victoria
Published: December 2021

This article quantifies the relative effectiveness of childcare subsidies and subsidies on grandmothers’ time on married mothers’ employment and fertility rates, paying special attention to heterogeneous effects. A heterogeneous agent model, populated by married households who make decisions related to labour supply and fertility, and the Spanish economy are used as a benchmark for calibration. The results indicate that childcare subsidies conditional on employment are more effective than subsidies on grandmothers’ time to foster the participation of married mothers in the labour force. However, they induce women to work fewer hours, unless after-school hours are also subsidised. This overtime subsidy is also necessary for the fertility rate to increase, but it implies a significant adjustment in tax rates to maintain the same fiscal balance. If the aim is simply to raise the employment rate of mothers of children aged 2 years or younger, then subsidising childcare costs only is more effective because the fiscal effort is lower. Regarding the heterogeneous effects, in all the policies studied, the growth in female employment is mainly accounted for by the behaviour of women without tertiary education while that of fertility is accounted for by women with tertiary education. Considerations related to inequality and distributional effects of these policies would also seem to favour childcare subsidies versus subsidies on grandmothers’ time.
Investigating the roles of first language (L1) speakers in lingua franca communication in multicultural classrooms: a case study of Japanese as a Lingua Franca (JLF)
Authors: Yamada Etsuko
Published: December 2021

In the Expanding Circle (i.e. countries where English is traditionally learned as a “foreign language”), the conceptlingua francacannot be limited to English. Conducted in a Japanese university, this study reports on the perceptions of verbal behaviours by students in multicultural courses where international and Japanese students studied together. These behaviours were analysed and the findings from English medium instruction courses and those of Japanese-medium instruction (JMI) courses were compared. Then, further analysis centred on JMI courses to explore the roles of Japanese L1 speakers in the co-construction of Japanese as a lingua franca with a focus on cognitive and psychological, rather than linguistic, perspectives. Rapport building, accommodation strategies, often initiated by L1 Japanese speakers, and the spontaneous interactions of second language (L2) speakers in discussions, are assumed to have been the keys to more inclusive interactions in JMI courses. The findings emphasize the importance of students’ attitudes and imply that intercultural education in the context, including both L1 speakers and L2 speakers, will have potential to foster effective lingua franca users.
English as a lingua franca defined by pre-service teachers: insights from theory and practice
Authors: Kemaloglu-Er Elif , Bayyurt Yasemin
Published: December 2021

Despite the sheer reality of English used as a lingua franca in and outside L2 English classrooms, many teachers are still unaware of the concept of English as a lingua franca (ELF), which makes integration of ELF awareness into teacher education essential. This study presents an “ELF-aware” education model for pre-service teachers and analyses the definitions of ELF made by the pre-service teachers exposed to this model before, during and after their training and documents the ways they changed, if any. The data were collected by an open-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interviews which were thematically analysed. According to our findings, ELF conceptualizations reveal increased awareness. Perceptions of ELF changed from a global concept to a communicative construct and ultimately to a humanistic pedagogical perspective accepting non-native users of English with their own variability. The data imply the evolving roles of the participants from (i) outsiders to ELF to (ii) ELF-aware users and owners of English and ultimately to (iii) potential ELF-aware practitioners and disseminators of ELF knowledge. With variability of definitions and implied roles changing at each phase of the training, the ELF-aware pre-service teacher education model has proved to be effective in making the participants increasingly aware of the ELF concept.
Language shift and language (re)vitalisation: the roles played by women and men in Northern Fenno-Scandia
Authors: Bull Tove , Huss Leena , Lindgren Anna-Riitta
Published: December 2021

The research question of the present paper is the following: to what degree (if any) is gender relevant as an explanatory factor in, firstly, the process of assimilation and later, the process of (re)vitalisation of indigenous and minority languages in northern Fenno-Scandia (the North Calotte)? The assimilation of the ethnic groups in question was a process initiated and lead by the authorities in the three different countries. Finland, Sweden and Norway. Nevertheless, members of the indigenous and minority groups also took part in practicing, though, not necessarily promoting, the official assimilation politics, for different reasons. (Re)vitalisation, on the other hand, was initially – and still is – mostly a process stemming from the minority groups themselves, though the authorities to a certain extent have embraced it. The paper thus addresses the question of whether gender played a role in the two different processes, assimilation and (re)vitalisation, and if that was the case, how and why.

Published: December 2021

A new glass solidification process aims at radioactive iodine waste was explored in order to reduce the possible harm to environment. Samples with different iodine content in silver-coated silica gel were pretreated by hydration device at 300 °C and then sintered at relatively low temperatures (500, 550 and 600 °C). XRD results show that AgI is mainly chemically fixed in the glass network with some AgI particles being physically wrapped by the glass. Moreover, as the sintering temperature reached to 550 °C, B element crystallized. SEM-EDS results show that Ag and I elements are enriched, while the other elements are evenly distributed. AFM results showed that the sample surface becomes rougher as the iodine content increases in the silver coated silica gel. The FT-IR results show that the structure of the sintered sample is mainly composed of [BiO3], [BiO6] and [BO3]. This study provides a new sintering method by hydration device for the treatment of radioactive iodine waste.

Published: December 2021

Today microplastics (MPs) have received worldwide attention as an emerging environmental pollution which is one of the four major global environmental threat and health hazard to human as well. Unfortunately, MPs have been founded in the all environments and media include air, water resources, sediments, and soil. It should not be forgotten MPs have also been detected in food and processing products like tuna. MPs can be ingested by marine organisms such as zooplankton, fish and birds. Accumulation and distribution of MPs by commercially important aquatic organisms is expected to lead to greater exposure risk for human populations with possible adverse effects over time. The aim of this work was to review the published literature regarding the contamination of commercial fish muscle for human consumption. Furthermore, a short revision of the environmental contamination and human health effects by MPs are included. We also estimated human daily intake considering the worldwide contamination of commercial fish muscle ranged from 0.016 items/g muscle of fish to 6.06 items/g muscle of fish. MPs have been found in 56.5% of the commercial fish samples analysed here. As fish is used in human food table across the word, they constitute a long-term exposure route for all humans and raise the concern about the potential public health risk.

Published: December 2021

Background: Benign or malignant breast lesions with typical ultrasonic characteristics could be easily and correctly diagnosed with two-dimensional ultrasound (2D US). However, diagnosis of atypical lesions remains a challenge. Most atypical lesions have different ultrasonographic features with probe direction variation. Thus, the interpretation of ultrasonographic features based on static images empirically collected by sonographers might be inaccurate. We aimed to investigate the section discrepancy and diagnostic performance of breast lesions in 2D US by dynamic videos versus static images.

Methods: Static images and dynamic videos based on two perpendicular planes of 468 breast lesions were collected and evaluated. The Breast Imaging and Reporting Data System (BI-RADS®) US lexicon was used. Category 3 was used as the cut-off point, and section discrepancy was defined as two perpendicular planes showing different BI-RADS categories (3 versus 4A, 4B, 4C, and 5).

Results: This retrospective study included 315 benign and 153 malignant lesions. There were 53 and 50 lesions with section discrepancy during static and dynamic observations, respectively. The proportion of benign lesions with section discrepancy was significantly higher than that of malignant lesions (P < 0.05) either in dynamic or static observation, and the contingency coefficient was 0.2 between section discrepancy and histopathology. Duct changes were more clearly depicted in dynamic videos than in static images (P < 0.05) both in malignant and benign lesions. Calcification and architectural distortion were more sensitively detected by dynamic videos than with static images (P < 0.05) in malignant lesions. The interpretation of “margin” significantly differed in benign lesions between static images and dynamic videos (P < 0.05). The areas under the curve of static image-horizontal, static image-sagittal, dynamic video-horizontal, and dynamic video-sagittal were 0.807, 0.820, 0.837, and 0.846, respectively. The specificities of dynamic videos were higher than those of static images (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: Breast lesions have section discrepancy in 2D US. Observations based on dynamic videos could more accurately reflect lesion features and increase the specificity of US in the differentiation of atypical breast lesions.

Authors: YOLDAŞ Özge , CALTİNOGLU-TORAMAN Çağla , ŞENSOY İlkay , KARAKAYA Sibel
Published: December 2021

Only bioaccessible nutrients can be absorbed and used by the body to contribute to health. The study aimed to investigate the effect of extrusion on the in vitro bioaccessibility of β-cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin in extrudates supplemented with red pepper pulp. Corn grits mixed with red pepper pulp were extruded. β-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and total phenolic content with antioxidant activity analysis were conducted on the feed and extruded samples. Quality parameters of the corn grit extrudates, prepared with and without red pepper pulp, were also investigated. The extrusion process significantly increased the in vitro bioaccesibiliy of zeaxanthin, but no statistically significant difference was observed for β-cryptoxanthin. After the extrusion process, total phenolic, β-cryptoxanthin, and zeaxanthin contents with antioxidant activity were lower. Physical quality parameters such as hardness, expansion, and water absorption with water solubility index values were not affected by the addition of red pepper meal. The porosity decreased, and hence the bulk density increased. Sensory analysis showed that the preference scores of the panelists for the samples with the addition of red pepper meal were not different from the control. This study showed that the extrusion process could improve the in vitro bioaccessibility of functional components. Additionally, red pepper pulp can be added as a functional ingredient to extrudates to develop new products without changing consumer preferences.

Published: December 2021

A study on the addition of organic matter of different qualities was carried out to improve plant growth on a degraded sandy soil of Bambang Village, Wajak Malang, East Java. Two potential sources of organic matter in Bambang Village are Tithonia diversifolia and sugarcane leaves. This study aimed at elucidating the changes in some chemical properties of a degraded sandy soil of Malang, East Java, and nutrient uptake and growth of maize plants by applying mixtures of Tithonia diversifolia and sugarcane leaves of different quality. Treatments tested in this study were mixtures of Tithonia diversifolia leaves and sugarcane leaves at various proportions (%w/w), i.e. 100% Tithonia diversifolia leaves (T1), 100% sugarcane leaves (T2), 75% Tithonia diversifolia leaves + 25% sugarcane leaves (T3), 50% Tithonia diversifolia leaves + 50% sugarcane leaves (T4); without organic matters (T6), and control, without organic matter and inorganic fertilizers (T7). The results showed that the application of Tithonia diversifolia and sugarcane leaves affected soil pH, soil exchangeable bases, maize growth, and nutrients uptake. Nutrients taken up by maize plants significantly increased with the addition of Tithonia diversifolia leaves, either alone or in combination with sugarcane leaves. The application of 100% sugarcane leaves did not significantly affect maize growth and nutrient uptake.

The amount of CO2 gas emissions in drained peatland for oil palm cultivation has been widely reported. However, the research addressing the contribution of litter respiration to peat and total respiration and its relationship with several environmental factors is found rare. The aim of this study was to measure peat and heterogeneous litter respiration of drained tropical peat in one year at a distance of 2.25 m and 4.50 m from mature oil palm trees of 14 years using the chamber method (Licor Li-830). In addition to CO2 efflux, we measured other environmental parameters, including peat temperature (10 cm depth), air temperature, groundwater table (GWL), and rainfall. Results showed that the mean total peat respiration (Rt) was 12.06 g CO2 m-2day-1, which consisted of 68% (8.24 g CO2 m-2day-1) peat (Rp) and root (Rr) respiration and 32% (3.84 g CO2 m-2day-1) of litter respiration (Rl) at the distance of 2.25 m from the palm tree. Meanwhile, at a farther distance, the Rt was 12.49 g CO2m-2day-1, the contribution of Rp was 56% (6.78 g CO2 m-2day-1), and Rl was higher than the closest distance (46%; 5.71 g CO2 m-2day-1). Thus, one-year observation resulting the mean Rt and Rr was 0.07–0.08 Mg CO2 ha-1 day-1, while Rl was 0.04–0.06 Mg CO2 ha-1 day-1. The means of Rt, Rp, and Rl were significantly different in the dry season than those recorded in the rainy season. The climatic-related variable such as peat and air temperature were chiefly governing respiration in peat under mature oil palm plantation, whereas the importance of other variables present at particular conditions. This paper provides valuable information concerning respiration in peat, especially for litter contribution and its relationship with environmental factors in peatland, contributing to global CO2 emission.

Authors: Lukita Maya , Abidin Zaenal , Riani Etty , Ismail Ahyar
Published: December 2021

Aluminum black dross is produced by the secondary smelting process of aluminum. Aluminum black dross is classified as hazardous waste because it is reactive with water and produces substances and gases that are harmful to humans and the environment. Generally, aluminum black dross is managed by landfill method, but because it is produced in large amounts every year, the aluminum black dross needs to be utilized to reduce the impact on the environment. Aluminum black dross consists of large amounts of metal oxide and salts. The amount of metal oxide content in aluminum black dross can be used as raw material. This paper review types of processes for utilizing black dross aluminum as raw material in value-added products. aluminum black dross can be used as alumina, adsorbent, zeolite, composites, geopolymers, refractories, and fillers. By utilizing aluminum black dross waste into various products that have economic value, besides being able to protect the environment, it can also reduce environmental resource use.

Authors: Jothimani Muralitharan , Getahun Ephrem , Abebe Abel
Published: December 2021

Quantification of soil is crucial for maximizing the advantages of land resources while minimizing the negative consequences of land degradation in the long term. It will also make it possible to identify locations that need immediate soil erosion management. The present study was carried out in the Kulfo river catchment, Rift valley, Southern Ethiopia. The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) method was utilized to estimate the mean yearly soil loss in the research region using remote sensing, other collateral data. The RUSLE model inputs were mapped and integrated into the ArcGIS software, and the results show that 0 and 1211 t ha−1year−1 are the minima and maximum soil loss in the present study area. Soil erosion-prone regions were divided into three categories: 0-42 t ha−1year−1 (low), 43-128 t ha−1 year−1 (medium), and > 128 t ha−1 year−1 (high). And the average rate of soil erosion is 68.47 t ha−1year−1. Low, medium, and high soil erosion areal extent and area percentages in the current research area is 270 km2 (77 %), 61 km2 (17 %), and 19 km2 (6%), respectively. A high rate of soil erosion was found where high steep slope, barren land, and high precipitation occurred in the present study area. The current study's outcomes were confirmed by comparing soil loss estimates in the same geo-environmental conditions found in Ethiopia's highlands. The outcome of this study is important for decision-makers and policymakers.
Do natural landscapes contribute to reducing Land Surface Temperature (LST)? A case study from Muthurajawela wetland, Sri Lanka
Authors: Dahanayake Harsha , Wickramasinghe Deepthi , Dahanayaka DDGL
Published: December 2021

Microclimate regulation is one of the most significant ecosystem services provided by wetlands. The present study attempted to investigate the cooling effect provided by Muthurajawela, a coastal Ramsar wetland using Remote Sensing and GIS. The variation of Land Surface Temperatures (LST) over different land use categories of natural (water bodies, marsh, thick vegetation, grassland) and anthropogenic (built-up areas, coconut cultivations and bare lands) areas in 2015 and 2020. Parameters including Satellite Brightness Temperature, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Proportion of Vegetation and Land Surface Emissivity were calculated along eight transects starting from the center of the water body and extending up to 5 km from the boundary of the wetland. The results revealed that LST over areas under natural land cover (2015 - mean 25.040C, 2020 - mean 23.360C) were significantly lower than that of areas under anthropogenic influence (2015 - mean 26.520C and 2020 - mean 26.220C). The lowest increase of LST was over the water body and the highest was over the built-up areas indicating the buffering capacity of wetlands. As air temperatures are highly linked to LST, our findings suggest that wetlands contribute to lower atmospheric temperature and offer cooling effects during dry months. Acknowledging the importance of wetlands in reducing temperature, at least in a local scale, justifies the need of conserving these ecosystems, as seeking mitigatory measures for climate change driven frequent heating effects is challenging.
Restoration of degraded lands for carbon stock enhancement and climate change mitigation: the case of Rebu watershed, Woliso Woreda, Southwest Shoa, Ethiopia
Authors: Soboka Diriba Megersa , Yimer Fantaw
Published: December 2021

This study was conducted to estimate carbon stock enhancement and climate change mitigation potential of restoration effort in Rebu Watershed, Woliso Woreda, Ethiopia. Two restored lands of thirteen years old were randomly selected from two kebeles. Biomass and soil data were collected systematically from nested plots. Mensuration of woody species, soil, and grass/litter samples was collected from the subplots of the nested plots. A total of 72 composite soil samples were collected. The results showed the positive impact of restoration activity on enhancing biomass and soil organic carbon stocks. The restored land ecosystem had shown higher carbon stock of (138.51 ± 27.34 t/ha) than the adjacent unrestored land ecosystem (101.43 ± 21.25 t/ha), which confirmed the potential of restoration in enhancing the carbon stock and mitigating climate change. Hence, the restored land use type has been stored about 8.37 t/ha of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) in biomasses. The restored land use type has mitigated climate change (absorb CO2) by 7.7 times than the adjacent unrestored land use type in this study. The significant values in restored land use types were due to the enhanced vegetation and land cover, which contributed to the biomass and soil organic carbon accumulation. Moreover, the lower values in unrestored land use type were due to the continuous degradation and disturbance from livestock and human beings. Therefore, the result of this study showed that protecting the degraded lands from any disturbance could enhance the carbon stocks of the ecosystem and mitigate the carbon emission rate.
Lòk: Pandemics and (Im)mobility in Northern Haiti
Authors: Bulamah Rodrigo
Published: December 2021

Rumors of a new respiratory disease began to reach northern Haiti through reports from relatives from the diaspora; the subject soon took over radio stations, virtual communication apps, and everyday conversations in rural neighborhoods and popular markets. The need for social distancing, however, was met with skepticism—not out of disbelief in its effectiveness, but out of resignation to a situation that did not seem new. In this article, I look at the history of past epidemics in Haiti and how these experiences shaped the way people reacted to the arrival of COVID-19 in the country. Through ethnographic data and recent conversations with Haitian friends, I argue that the general feeling of immobility caused by the pandemic intensified a political and existential situation defined as lòk. Nevertheless, it was through a popular epidemiology centered around the household (lakou) that people were able to cope with this new virus. While discussing creative forms of dealing with this sense of stagnation, I try to show that mobility is a form of vitality, creating and structuring life even in situations of radical uncertainty.

Published: December 2021

This paper describes the design of an antilock braking system (ABS) control for a passenger vehicle that employs an electronic wedge brake (EWB). The system is based on a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) vehicle dynamic traction model, with the EWB acting as the brake actuator. The developed control structure, known as the Self-Tuning PID controller, is made up of a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller that serves as the main feedback loop control and a fuzzy supervisory system that serves as a tuner for the PID controller gains. This control structure is generated through two structures, namely FPID and SFPID, where the difference between these two structures is based on the fuzzy input used. An ABS-based PID controller and a fuzzy fractional PID controller developed in previous works were used as the benchmark, as well as the testing method, to evaluate the effectiveness of the controller structure. According to the results of the tests, the performance of the SFPID controller is better than that of other PID and FPID controllers, being 10% and 1% faster in terms of stopping time, 8% and 1% shorter in terms of stopping distance, 9% and 1% faster in terms of settling time, and 40% and 5% more efficient in reaching the target slip, respectively.

Published: December 2021

This study aims to find the repertoire of aesthetic taste as a creative act and its relation to symbolic power in the arena of Indonesian cultural production of glass painting. The study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. Data collection used in-depth interviews, participant observation, individual life’s history, and document examination. Data analysis used interpretive phenomenological analysis. The study finds five aesthetic taste repertoires that include: (1) the aesthetic taste of the palace which is characterized by the symbolic decorative visualization of calligraphy pictographs of petarekatan  with wadasan and mega mendung ornaments; (2) the taste of strengthening cultural identity is marked by the symbolic decorative visualization of a traditional sourcebook for puppet shadow objects with wadasan and mega mendung ornaments; (3) the taste of traditional renewal is characterized by liberating expressive decorative visualizations; (4) the taste of cultural revitalization is characterized by decorative visualization of the superiority of tradition which is involute; and (5) the taste of marginalized community is characterized by the simplicity of traditional object visualizations. The five aesthetic tastes carry a decorative expression style with an interpretation of tradition based on the cultural capital of the artists. The production of aesthetic taste cannot fully be used to classify the social class structure of appreciators but is related to the identity of the cultural capital they have. The production of aesthetic taste is a creative education model that responds to the doxa of symbolic power in the form of orthodox or heterodox, resulting in defensive, subversive, defensive-subversive synthesis, and pseudo-subversive strategies, which are fought for legitimacy as symbolic power.

Authors: Dana I Wayan , Artini Ni Kadek Juni
Published: December 2021

The Baris Memedi dance depicts a group of ‘ghosts’ who live in haunted places such as graves, cliffs, and in large trees. It is danced by 7-15 male dancers. This dance is performed in Ngaben (cremation) ceremony called Pitra Yadnya, using the Baleganjur gamelan accompaniment. The objective of this study is  to analyze the form of existence of the Baris Memedi dance in implementing the Pitra Yadnya ceremony. Another objective is to understand the strategy for its preservation as a traditional art so that this dance can live and be long-lasting until today. The additional objective is to find the uniqueness of the dance that it needs preservation. The method used was a qualitative method that considers the issues of cultural context, ideology, interests, power in the culture, and meaning which refers to the culturalistic-humanistic paradigm, namely civilizing humans and humanizing humans. Based on observation, Baris Memedi dance has four stages in its presentation form. The preservation strategy is the active role of supporting the community, the role of Jatiluwih Village apparatus, Jatiluwih artists’ participation, and the government’s support. The most important aspect of Baris Memedi it is inseparable from its community. The proponents of traditional arts should continue to pursue these preservation efforts so that the arts have cultural resilience through Ajeg Bali.

Methods: Seven different propolis drops (Group 1 to 7: Umay Herbal Organic Propolis, Bee'o Up [15%], Propoli EVSP, Brazilian Green Liquid Propolis, Eğriçayır Propolis, Bee'o Up [30%], Biostore Propolis) were included in the study. Antimicrobial effect of drops was investigated by the agar plate diffusion method. 18 standard Petri dishes were prepared with Brain-Heart Infusion broth. 100 µl of microorganisms and 10 µl of each propolis were planted to these Petri dishes from a broth culture. Inhibition zones formed on the 24th hour were measured in mm's and each experimental group was photographed. Data were compared by Mann Whitney-U test.

Results: Only water-based propolis of the present study (Group 1) formed no inhibition zone against both oral pathogens and alcohol-based groups 4 and 5 formed no zone only against the latter. Group 5 showed significantly the highest antimicrobial effect against S. mutans, however that group showed no influence on E. faecalis. Group 6 was found significantly more effective on E. faecalis than other propolis drops (p

Background
This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the persistence of calcium hydroxide (CH) associated with different vehicles on the artificial cavities after removing with sonic activation or conventional needle irrigation (CNI). Methods Seventy-two extracted single-rooted teeth were instrumented with ProTaper Universal rotary system up to F4. The roots were split longitudinally, and standardized cavities were prepared. The roots were assigned into 3 groups (n=24), according to vehicles used; distilled water, glycerin, and propylene glycol. In each group, cavities were filled with CH mixed with the respective vehicle. After reassembly, the removal of CH dressing was performed with either sonic activation (with EDDY) or CNI (n=12).The remnants of CH was assessed under a microscope with x40 magnification. A four-grade scoring system was used to evaluate. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U-tests were used to compare the data. (p <0.05). ResultsThere was a significant difference among groups (p<0.05). Complete removal of CH was found in the distilled water and propylene glycol groups when EDDY was used (p<0.05).EDDY was significantly more effective than CNI in the removal of CH mixed with distilled water and propylene glycol (p<.05).Whereas no significant difference was found between EDDY and CNI in the glycerin group (p>0.05).The lowest CH remnants were found in the distilled water group when CNI was used (p<0.05).Conclusion The vehicle associated with CH and irrigation activation is important for its retrieval. EDDY provided the complete removal of CH when mixed with distilled water or propylene glycol.
Mandibular Birinci ve İkinci Premolar Dişlerin Kök ve Kanal Morfolojilerinin Panoramik Radyogram ile Değerlendirilmesi: Epidemiyolojik Çalışma
Authors: GÜNEN YILMAZ Sevcihan , TERCANLI ALKIŞ Hümeyra , TAŞ Ayşe
Published: December 2021

Amaç: Dişlerdeki kök ve kanal morfolojisinin varyasyonları endodontik tedavinin planlaması ve prognozu üzerinde büyük etkiye sahiptir. Tüm dişlerin normal anatomik yapıda olduğu varsayılarak, kök ve kanal sayısı değerlendirilmeden yapılacak cerrahi işlemler olumsuz sonuçlar doğurabilir. Tedavi öncesi ve sırasında görüntüleme yöntemleri gelişebilecek komplikasyonları önleyebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, geniş bir yaş aralığında mandibular birinci ve ikinci premolar dişlerin kök ve kanal sayılarının panoramik radyogram ile değerlendirilmesidir.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Rastgele seçilen bireylerden elde edilen 1030 panoramik radyogram mandibular premolar dişlerin kök ve kanal morfolojilerini değerlendirmek amacıyla, retrospektif olarak iki oral ve maksillofasiyal radyoloji uzmanı tarafından incelendi. Dişlerin kök ve kanal morfolojileri Vertucci sınıflanmasına göre değerlendirildi. Cinsiyet ve yaş ile ilgili dağılımlarını karşılaştırmak için ki-kare testi kullanıldı. P< 0.05 anlamlı kabul edildi.

Bulgular: Çalışma grubunun yaş ortalaması 22.8±7.7 yıl idi. Cinsiyetler arası yaş farkı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi. Cinsiyetler arasında birden fazla kök ve kanal içeren diş sayısı açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmadı. Mandibular sol ikinci premolar dişin kök ve kanal sayısı ile mandibular sağ ikinci premolar dişin kanal sayısı erkek bireylerde kadınlara göre daha fazla tespit edildi.

Sonuç: Endodontik tedavi sırasında veya tedavideki başarısızlıkta dişlerin kök ve kanal yapılarında muhtemel anatomik varyasyonlar olabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır. Mandibular birinci ve ikinci premolar dişler büyük oranda tek kök kanal yapısına sahiptir.
Elogio de la traición
Authors: De los Ríos Gutiérrez Iván
Published: December 2021

En el presente trabajo exploraremos la relación entre filosofía y traducción desde la identificación de ambas prácticas con ejercicios de intervención, comprensión y apertura del sentido en el marco de una realidad que se sustrae a su plena reducción al campo del lenguaje y del concepto. Nos serviremos de la literatura de Borges y de su concepción de la traducción con el fin de evidenciar correspondencias entre la propuesta del escritor argentino y las corrientes filosóficas actuales. En concreto, leeremos la propuesta de Borges a la luz de la hermenéutica contemporánea.
«Del buen humor ajeno»: el lugar de la traducción en las nuevas formas de la literatura humorística
Authors: Pueo Juan Carlos
Published: December 2021

La traducción de la literatura humorística no sólo se enfrenta a problemas semejantes a los que plantea la teoría de la traducción en diferentes modalidades literarias, sino que debe afrontar una problemática propia, derivada de cuestiones relacionadas con el campo cultural del humor, en especial las peculiaridades lingüísticas de la literatura cómica en su momento histórico. En este artículo se describe un caso concreto, el de la sección «Del buen humor ajeno en los primeros años de la revista Buen Humor (1921-22), cuando a la comicidad festiva de las décadas previas se le opuso una nueva forma de hacer reír mediante el recurso del humor absurdo, vinculado a la eclosión de las vanguardias literarias y a la necesidad de afirmarse de una nueva generación de humoristas.
Lost in translation. Ironía clásica, romántica y postmoderna
Authors: Sánchez Usanos David
Published: December 2021

En el texto se atiende a los diferentes usos de «ironía» por parte de autores representativos de distintas épocas del pensamiento y se reflexiona acerca de la polisemia del término y sus implicaciones filosóficas. Concretamente se observa un desplazamiento en el uso retórico que convierte a la ironía postmoderna en un recurso fundamentalmente conservador del orden social.
El ingenio y la impostura: Enric Marco como desviación de don Quijote
Authors: Pérez Facio Magdalena
Published: December 2021

En este artículo se pretende analizar la composición de Enric Marco —quien fue conocido como sobreviviente de los campos de concentración nazis hasta que en 2005 se descubrió su impostura—, como personaje de Javier Cercas en su novela El impostor, en relación al personaje de don Quijote. El autor plantea la interrogante de si es Marco un quijote del siglo XX. No pretendemos arribar a una respuesta, pero sí propiciar una reflexión al respecto. Para ello intentaremos identificar tanto las semejanzas y diferencias entre ambos personajes, como el orden en que Cercas elige plantear estas características y contar la historia de Marco teniendo siempre como referencia al personaje cervantino.

In this paper, we study a fixed point problem for certain rational contractions on γ-complete metric spaces. Uniqueness of the fixed point is obtained under additional conditions. The Ulam–Hyers–Rassias stability of the problem is investigated. Well-posedness of the problem and the data dependence property are also explored. There are several corollaries of the main result. Finally, our fixed point theorem is applied to solve a problem of integral equation. There is no continuity assumption on the mapping.
