Introduction: It has been established that omega 3 fatty acids have cardio-protective effects through modulation of cardiometabolic risk factors via multiple mechanisms. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of flaxseed oil on anthropometric indices and lipid profile in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was performed in 44 patients with CAD. The subjects were randomly assigned to receive either 200 ml of 1.5% fat milk supplemented by 5 g of flaxseed oil (containing 2.5 g α-Linolenic acid) as intervention or 200 ml of 1.5% fat milk as placebo group for 10 consecutive weeks. Anthropometric indices and lipid profile were assessed at baseline and post-intervention. Results: The results indicated that supplementation with flaxseed oil had no impact on anthropometric indices. Weight, body mass index, waist circumference and hip circumference decreased statistically significant within groups, but not between groups. At the end of the intervention, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) decreased significantly (P = 0.022) in the intervention group. Moreover, the triglyceride (TG) level decreased significantly in the intervention group from 173.45 (49.09) to 139.33 (34.26) (P < 0.001). Other lipid profile indices including total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein did not differ significantly within and between groups. Conclusion: We observed that supplementation of flaxseed oil improved TG and DBP but had no effect on other lipid profiles and anthropometric indices in patients with CAD.

In general, nocardia infects immunosuppressed patients, however, sometimes it can also infect immunocompetent individuals. Nocardia infection can disseminate to any organ system of the body but the pulmonary system is the most commonly involved system. In some rare cases, the heart can also be involved and the resulting cardiac mycetoma can be treated successfully with antimicrobials without the need of surgery, unlike fungal cardiac mycetomas wherein surgery may be required in addition to antimicrobial therapy. We present an interesting case of post-renal transplant cardiac nocardiosis, which was treated successfully with a course of antibiotics.
Unexpected complications of vasospastic coronary artery disease and its successful management
Authors: Gök Gülay , Çinar Tufan
Published: August 2019

Vasospastic coronary artery disease (CAD) usually occurs during the percutaneous interventions and responds to conventional medical treatment. However, in rare conditions, it may be resistant to medical treatment, resulting in lethal complications, including acute myocardial infarction, ventricular arrhythmia, cardiopulmonary arrest, cardiogenic shock, and acute pulmonary edema. In this case report, a 44-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. During a diagnostic coronary angiography and in-hospital stays, multiple catastrophic complications due to vasospastic CAD occurred, and we were able to demonstrate a successful management strategy of these complications.
Differential Involvement of Three Brain Regions during Mouse Skill Learning
Authors: Weible Aldis P. , Posner Michael I. , Niell Cristopher M.
Published: August 2019

Human skill learning is marked by a gradual decrease in reaction time (RT) and errors as the skill is acquired. To better understand the influence of brain areas thought to be involved in skill learning, we trained mice to associate visual-spatial cues with specific motor behaviors for a water reward. Task acquisition occurred over weeks and performance approximated a power function as often found with human skill learning. Using optogenetics we suppressed the primary visual cortex (V1), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), or dorsal hippocampus (dHC) on 20% of trials at different stages of learning. Intermittent suppression of the V1 greatly reduced task performance on suppressed trials across multiple stages but did not change the overall rate of learning. In accord with some recent models of skill learning, ACC suppression produced higher error rates on suppressed trials throughout learning the skill, with effects intensifying in the later stages. This would suggest that cognitive influences mediated by the anterior cingulate continue throughout learning. Suppression of the hippocampus only modestly affected performance, with largely similar effects seen across stages. These results indicate different degrees of V1, ACC, and dHC involvement in acquisition and performance of this visual-spatial task and that the structures operate in parallel, and not in series, across learning stages.

Published: August 2019

Associative learning and sensory integration are two behavioral processes that involve the sensation and processing of stimuli followed by an altered behavioral response to these stimuli, with learning requiring memory formation and retrieval. We found that the cellular and molecular actions ofscd-2dissociate sensory integration and associative learning. This was discovered through investigation of aCaenorhabditis elegansmutation (lrn-2(mm99)) affecting both processes. After mapping and sequencing,lrn-2was found to be allelic to the gene,scd-2.scd-2-mediated associative learning and sensory integration operate in separate neurons as separate processes. We also find that memories can form from associations that are processed and stored independently from the integration of stimuli preceding an immediate behavioral decision.

Will biological agents supplant systemic glucocorticoids as the first-line treatment for thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy?
Authors: Smith Terry J , Bartalena Luigi
Published: August 2019

In this article, the two authors present their opposing points of view concerning the likelihood that glucocorticoids will be replaced by newly developed biological agents in the treatment of active, moderate-to-severe thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). TAO is a vexing, disfiguring and potentially blinding autoimmune manifestation of thyroid autoimmunity. One author expresses the opinion that steroids are nonspecific, frequently fail to improve the disease and can cause sometimes serious side effects. He suggests that glucocorticoids should be replaced as soon as possible by more specific and safer drugs, once they become available. The most promising of these are biological agents. The other author argues that glucocorticoids are proven effective and are unlikely to be replaced by biologicals. He reasons that while they may not uniformly result in optimal benefit, they have been proven effective in many reports. He remains open minded about alternative therapies such as biologicals but remains skeptical that they will replace steroids as the first-line therapy for active, moderate-to-severe TAO without head-to-head comparative clinical trials demonstrating superiority. Despite these very different points of view, both authors are optimistic about the availability of improved medical therapies for TAO, either as single agents or in combination. Further, both agree that better treatment options are needed to improve the care of our patients with active moderate-to-severe TAO.
Graphene: A Promising Candidate for Biomedical Use
Authors: Clithy Eva
Published: August 2019

As a new two-dimensional nanomaterial composed of sp2 carbon atom, graphene has unique electrical, optical and mechanical properties. At present, the research on graphene and its derivatives is mainly concentrated in the field of physics research. The chemical and material science research of graphene is also developing rapidly, and the research work of graphene in biomedicine field has just begun. Graphene oxide is a derivative of graphene, which has a high specific surface area and a rich functional group: the bottom surface contains a hydroxyl group and an epoxy group, and the edge contains a carboxyl group. These functional groups impart good hydrophilicity, dispersibility and biocompatibility to graphene oxide, are easy to modify and functionalize, and combined with their excellent optical properties, make graphene oxide have broad application prospects in the biomedical field. We herein briefly describe the recent advances in graphene, especially graphene oxide, in the biological and medical fields, including targeted drug delivery, cell imaging, bioassays, oncology, and graphene biosafety.
Wann ist Europa die Antwort? Und wann nicht?
Authors: Apolte Thomas
Published: August 2019

Die EU ist vor allem seitens rechtspopulistischer Politiker unter Beschuss geraten. Weniger EU oder Austritt sind die Losung, die bei vielen Wählern verfängt. Aus dem traditionellen politischen Spektrum wird darauf meist pauschal mit der Forderung nach „mehr EU“ reagiert. Diese Haltung bewirkt aber oft das Gegenteil des Erwünschten, weil die EU in verschiedener Hinsicht zwar tatsächlich zu wenige, in anderer Hinsicht aber auch oft zu viele Kompetenzen hat. Die angemessene Antwort in politischer wie in ökonomischer Hinsicht ist daher nicht pauschal „mehr EU“, sondern das richtige Maß an Kompetenzzuteilungen.
Increased Severity of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Associated With Concomitant Antenatal Opioid and Benzodiazepine Exposure
Authors: Sanlorenzo Lauren A. , Cooper William O. , Dudley Judith A. , Stratton Shannon , Maalouf Faouzi I. , Patrick Stephen W.
Published: August 2019

BACKGROUND:

Polysubstance use is common among opioid-using women, yet its association with pharmacotherapy for neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) remains unclear. We hypothesized that benzodiazepine exposure would increase risk of an infant developing pharmacologically treated NAS.

METHODS:

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of maternal-infant dyads enrolled in Tennessee Medicaid, using individual-level data linkage of vital records and administrative (ie, outpatient, inpatient, and prescription) data from 2009 to 2011. These data underwent chart review from 2013 to 2016 to obtain clinically relevant exposure data (eg, toxicology testing). The association of antenatal exposures with pharmacologically treated NAS was evaluated by using multivariable logistic regression, controlling for maternal and infant factors and clustered by hospital.

RESULTS:

Among 112 029 maternal-infant dyads, we confirmed 822 cases of NAS, of which 598 (72.7%) were cases of pharmacologically treated NAS. Infants who developed pharmacologically treated NAS were more likely to have been exposed to antenatal benzodiazepines compared with infants with confirmed NAS not treated pharmacologically (40.9% vs 30.8%; P = .008). In adjusted analyses, benzodiazepine exposure was associated with greater risk of developing pharmacologically treated NAS (odds ratio: 1.51; 95% confidence interval: 1.04–2.21). Alternatively, exposure to tobacco, marijuana, cocaine, gabapentin, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors were not associated with increased risk of developing pharmacologically treated NAS.

CONCLUSIONS:

Among a population of infants with intrauterine polysubstance exposure, benzodiazepine exposure was an independent predictor of an infant developing pharmacologically treated NAS. Obtaining history of antenatal benzodiazepine exposure among opioid-exposed infants may allow for risk stratification and development of personalized care plans.
O ensino de oralidade a alunos intermediários de Português como Língua Adicional: uma proposta de sequência didática
Authors: Velho Francianne Dos Santos , Schorghofer-Queiroz Valéria
Published: August 2019

Although oral skills are prominent in the teaching materials of Portuguese as an Additional Language (PAL), they are commonly seen only as a colloquial language, proper of conversations and familiar and informal situations. There is still a lack of Brazilian publications on didactic materials in PAL that focus on oral language from the perspective of discourse genres and that seek to enable students to understand and perform authentic oral texts in different contexts of language use. Thus, we developed a didactic unit on the genre of instruction aiming to propose a material for teaching orality to intermediate students from the point of view of the didactic sequence developed by Schneuwly & Dolz (2004). We intend to present to PLA teachers and researchers a suggestion of a didactic unit that focuses on the production of oral genres by considering its varied aspects in situations of communication.
Modelo didático do gênero artigo científico: um contributo para o ensino do Português como Língua Adicional
Authors: Rosa Rute Alves
Published: August 2019

In this paper, we present a didactic model of the genre ‘scientific article’, which intends to guide the work of teachers of Portuguese as an Additional Language in the Portuguese academic context. To this end, we perform a descriptive analysis of ten texts that fall into the genre in question, followed by the didactic model, in which we systematize the social, contextual and compositional characteristics of the scientific article. Our approach is based on the theoretical framework of Sociodiscursive Interactionism (Bronckart, [1997]1999) and on the principles of Didactics of Genres (Dolz & Schneuwly, 2004). This work aims to highlight the importance of developing didatization devices that allow the appropriation of academic genres, such as the scientific article, and it also demonstrates that the use of genres in the teaching of Portuguese as Additional Language promotes the learning of this language as far as its different spheres of use are concerned.

Authors: Ribeiro Gabriela Castelo Branco , De Souza José Peixoto Coelho
Published: August 2019

The aim of this paper is to present and reflect on the project “Workshops of Brazilian Culture and Music”, done in 2015 and 2016 by the Portuguese Programme of the University of Glasgow. Motivated by the interest of students of Portuguese in Brazilian music and by the recognition of its cultural richness and pedagogical potential (Barbosa (2001), Hermeto (2012), Coelho de Souza (2014)), the project focused on musical, cultural, historical, artistic and intercultural elements of Brazilian popular music in seven sessions and a festival. The workshops and festival attracted a varied audience, receiving very positive feedback from participants, with a potential to have a positive impact for the University, the School of Modern Languages and Cultures and the Portuguese Programme. With this paper, we expect to contribute to the discussion and effective implementation of initiatives which foster the promotion of the Portuguese language and Lusophone cultures and create interest in the study of the language.

Disclosing violence in calls for help
Authors: Tennent Emma , Weatherall Ann
Published: August 2019

Violence against women is a pervasive problem, both in New Zealand society and around the world. Yet assessing the scale and effects of violence is difficult, as many women face barriers to disclosure. This paper examines women’s disclosures of violence in calls for help to a victim support agency. We use conversation analysis and focus on membership categorisation to describe the different ways disclosures are built and understood in situ. It was only in a minority of cases (around 20%), that callers made direct reference to violence, or categorised themselves explicitly as victims, albeit with indications of problems in speaking. However, for the majority, women did not mention the words ‘victim’ or ‘violence’ at all. Instead, culturally shared knowledge associated with categories of people (e.g. ex-partners) and places (e.g. home and jail) were used to build and interpret a description as a disclosure of violence. Our work contributes to an understanding of women’s disclosures of violence by examining them directly in the setting where they occur. We discuss some of the insights gained from examining interactions in situ, and the practical applications of our work for improving services for women who have experienced violence.

Published: August 2019

Wayfinding on board a large cruise ship might be mistakenly thought to be easy and straightforward and this may well account for the absence of literature on this topic. This paper will address this gap by exploring and exposing the influencers in shaping our everyday practices whilst cruising, itself a moving experience carrying us by consent across the seas to distant shores.There is reporting upon wayfinding elsewhere however, in which there are accounts that examine other large spaces, where it is more readily acknowledged that people may need help for example in care homes (see Caspi 2014) or where they may be in a hurry, like airports (see Symonds 2017). Such literature will be drawn upon here and supplemented with the cruising context.
Disparity in Tumor Immune Microenvironment of Breast Cancer and Prognostic Impact: Asian Versus Western Populations

Background

The clinicopathological features and prognosis of breast cancer in Asia are different from those in the Western countries. Tumor-infiltrating immune cells can influence the outcome of patients with breast cancer, but they have not been systemically evaluated in Asian patients with breast cancer.

Methods

We compared the immune score, composition, and prognostic impact of infiltrating immune cells between Asian and Western patients with breast cancer by analyzing gene expression profiles from eight Gene Expression Omnibus data sets and The Cancer Genome Atlas data set. The Estimation of Stromal and Immune Cells in Malignant Tumours Using Expression Data (ESTIMATE) and Cell Type Identification by Estimating Relative Subsets of Known RNA Transcripts (CIBERSORT) algorithms were used to determine the immune score and composition of tumor-infiltrating immune cells, respectively.

Findings

This study included 462 Asian patients and 2,186 Western patients. Tumors of Asian patients had significantly higher immune score, particularly in the luminal B and HER2-enriched subtypes. High immune score was associated with favorable prognosis in both Asian and Western patients, and Asian race with a high ESTIMATE immune score provided additional power to predict longer disease-free survival. Activated CD4 T cells and M2 macrophages were the most strongly associated with survival in both Asian and Western patients.

Interpretation

Our study highlights the difference in tumor immune microenvironments between Asian and Western patients. The higher ESTIMATE immune score, which represents more abundant tumor-infiltrating immune cells, in tumors of Asian patients partly explains their favorable prognosis.
Discurso Humorístico Cínico na Contemporaneidade: Perspective Histórica e Análise Retórica do Discurso
Authors: Gruda Mateus Pranzetti Paul , Justo José Sterza
Published: August 2019

Nas últimas décadas, o discurso humorístico e seus mecanismos de funcionamento – tais como: ironia, paródia, zombaria – têm sido disseminados por toda e qualquer prática social e discursiva (publicidade, política, moda, educação, dentre tantos outros), se tornando uma importante forma de mediação entre os indivíduos e entre estes e o mundo. O cinismo é outro aspecto relevante no mundo contemporâneo, o qual através de uma racionalidade cínica produz dois processos associados: uma ironização geral das condutas e a defesa de atos imorais por meio de argumentos moralistas. Este ensaio conecta ambos os pontos em um modo específico de funcionamento do discurso humorístico: o humor cínico. Destarte, arrolamos as partes que compõem este texto: (1) comentários preliminares acerca da linguagem enquanto discurso, os aspectos dialéticos do humor e uma breve explicação sobre o esquema de três estágios para a análise retórica do discurso proposto por Simon Weaver; (2) uma razoavelmente ampla revisão acerca das ideias do cinismo propagado na Grécia Antiga (kynismus) e na contemporaneidade (cinismo moderno/contemporâneo); (3) a relação de tais ideias com o humor cínico, sobretudo no que tange aos processos produzidos pela racionalidade cínica; (4) finalmente, um exemplo do humor cínico no Brasil é analisado de acordo com a abordagem metodológica mencionada.
Discursos de Violência Contra Mulheres LBT: Invisibilidade e Silenciamento
Authors: Karpinski Mônica , Alexsandra dos Santos Kátia
Published: August 2019

A violência contra a mulher, mesmo sendo combatida diariamente através de leis e militâncias, ainda é muito presente na sociedade brasileira, produzindo-se de diversas formas e atingindo todos os grupos de mulheres. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender os discursos sobre violência contra mulheres lésbicas, bissexuais, travestis e transexuais, entendendo que estas correm um risco particular de violência, pois, além de sofrerem pela desigualdade de gênero vigente na sociedade, escapam do padrão cis-heteronormativo.  O trabalho parte da perspectiva teórico-metodológica da Análise de Discurso de Michel Pêcheux (1995). Como corpus, tomaram-se depoimentos coletados online, por meio de uma postagem em um grupo no Facebook. As violências descritas se dão no espaço público e privado, de forma mais ou menos explícita. A violência como efeito está ancorada em uma formação discursiva conservadora que toma o padrão heteronormativo como regra. A análise apontou ainda para a dificuldade de nomeação das situações de violência vividas, bem como uma política de silêncio imposta em relação à própria condição de mulher LBT.
Derechos humanos en España: Protección del derecho al agua en familias con problemas de asequibilidad por riesgo de pobreza y exclusión social. Análisis crítico para una reforma legal
Authors: García-Rubio Miguel Ángel , López-Ruiz Samara , González-Gómez Francisco
Published: August 2019

Aunque los principales problemas de acceso al agua se presentan en los países pobres, estos también pueden tener alguna incidencia en los países desarrollados. En este caso el problema tiene que ver fundamentalmente con la asequibilidad, es decir, con la capacidad de las familias para hacer frente al pago de la factura de agua; y ello se agrava cuando como consecuencia del impago se producen cortes en el suministro. Esta situación puede presentarse si el marco regulatorio y legal no garantiza, o no de manera suficiente, el acceso de los colectivos más vulnerables y desfavorecidos a un bien básico como el agua potable. En este ensayo, a partir de un enfoque crítico, se analiza la protección del derecho humano de acceso al agua en España frente a situaciones de riesgo de pobreza y exclusión social para proponer una reforma legal. Las situaciones de exclusión social justifican un tratamiento diferenciado del derecho a un bien básico para la vida, al margen del conjunto de la protección social contra la pobreza, dado que esa realidad limita las oportunidades de acceso a los mecanismos de protección social. Una primera conclusión es que en España existe una insuficiente regulación legal en relación con la protección de este derecho. Una segunda conclusión es que la descentralización normativa conduce a que las medidas de acción social en materia de suministro de agua sean muy heterogéneas, de modo que existe una desigual protección del derecho humano al agua según el lugar de residencia.

Published: August 2019

Este relato de ensino tem como objetivo demonstrar uma reflexão acerca do desafio de se ensinar a leitura de textos literários, no Ensino Fundamental, a alunos com dificuldades provenientes de um período de alfabetização deficitário, conforme constatado em entrevistas.  O projeto de ensino aqui apresentado é ancorado na fundamentação teórica de Antunes (2010); Koch & Elias (2007) e Dell’Isola (2013), em relação à leitura; na perspectiva de letramento de Kleiman (1995, 2003) e na noção de gêneros de Marcuschi (2006) e Dolz e Schneuwly (2004). No ensino, o conceito de leitura como prática social deve ser relacionado aos objetivos de aprendizagem. Para tanto, é propício ao professor mediar o desenvolvimento de uma compreensão textual que exige habilidades mais complexas, para que o aluno seja capaz de relacionar aspectos textuais com conhecimento de mundo. Assim, a leitura é concebida como um fator preponderante de ampliação do letramento, favorecendo maior inserção social aos estudantes.

Growth of lettuce cultivars in beds covered with differing materials
Authors: Favarato Luiz Fernando , Guarçoni Rogério Carvalho , Eutrópio Frederico Jacob , Mendes Lidiane , Piassi Mírian
Published: August 2019

In commercial lettuce growing, the intensive cultivation of the soil results in an increase in weed populations, making it difficult to fully exploit the area and increasing production costs. Under such

circumstances, the use of soil covers can minimize this problem. Consequently, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different materials as soil covers on the agronomic performance of three lettuce cultivars. The experiment was arranged in randomized blocks, with treatments set in a subdivided plot scheme. Five types of soil cover (plots) were tested: no cover, black plastic, double white faced plastic, straw mulching and kraft paper and three Lettuce cultivars (subplots): loose-crested leaf group, iceberg lettuce group, with four replicates. Number of leaves per plant, stem length and diameter, head diameter, mass of fresh and total dry matter, fresh matter mass of leaves and stem were evaluated. For the Lisa and Americana lettuce groups, bed soil cover materials were more efficient when compared to the uncovered beds. For economic and environmental reasons, kraft paper is recommended as a bedding cover material for these cultivars. Variation in growth occurred between the lettuce cultivars, independently of the use of bedding cover. This

occurred in the sequence: loose leaf > iceberg lettuce> loose-crested leaf group.
Shifting Paradigms of Research in English Studies in India
Authors: Asaduddin Mohd
Published: August 2019

English Studies in India has undergone significant changes, leading to a shift in
research paradigms. Right through the British colonial period of nearly two hundred
years English literature and language were used as important instruments of political
domination and acculturation. Even after the British colonialism ended the dominance
of English continued in all spheres of life. English has become the language of the
privileged class and studying English literature a symbol of prestige. However, in its
quest for relevance, English Studies had to incorporate new areas of knowledge under
its purview. Literary theory made a big splash in English Studies and changed the way
of approaching and assessing literature. English Studies also saw rigorous debates
about the relationship between English Literature and ELT and different approaches
in their pedagogy. Then, postcolonial literature and theory made its impact felt in
the field. Two other domains that have enriched the field of English Studies are
Comparative literature and Translation Studies. English writings emanating from India
grew in plenitude and self-assurance and the language itself underwent substantial
change to acquire its distinct Indian characteristics. Literatures produced in 24 Indian
languages are being copiously translated into English and researches in English
studies are happening at this contact zone of creative literature in English and literature
available in English translation.
Literature in the Principal of Industrial Revolution 4.0
Authors: Manugeren M.
Published: August 2019

Industrial Revolution 4.0 is not only a phenomenon in society, but also has become a
social reality. Through the sociology of literature approach, the research reveals the
standing of literature in the principle of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Industry refers
to human activities or efforts to change or to cultivate raw materials or semi-finished
materials into ready-used products; then the industrial revolution is directed at changing
the ways humans produce goods. These big changes have been noted three times, and
now people are experiencing the fourth industrial revolution. The industrial revolution
of the fourth generation is marked by the emergence of supercomputers, and robots, a
picture of the digitalization era. The research is carried out with a qualitative descriptive
method as it is in contact with social problems by the relationships among literary
writers, texts, and society and these three components both directly and indirectly have
been involved in the Industrial Revolution. The research results show that literature
is a work of art unlimited by time and space and is not dominated by the Industrial
Revolution 4.0, especially those relating to the theme or problem presented. The social
problems expressed in literature are cycles; repetitions of events. The role of Industrial
Revolution 4.0 on literature is only limited to distributions by means of cyber literature.
The principle of Industrial Revolution 4.0: interconnection, transparency in information,
technical assistance and decentralization or autonomy in drawing a conclusion have

Mapata’s Transformation of Gender Identities in Tiba Sebelum Berangkat
Authors: Al-Jum’ah Ais Nurbiyah , Suprihatin Christina
Published: August 2019

Differing from other tribes in Indonesia, the Bugis tribe classified human gender into
five categories, namely oroane (man), makunrai (woman), calabai (trans man), calalai
(trans woman), and bissu (androgynous shaman). Originally, the Bissu occupied the
highest position in Bugis community. However, as the majority of Bugis people have
converted to Islam, the belief on such gender diversity is gradually declining. Issues
pertaining to the fifth gender are explored by a literary work written by Faisal Odang.
Titled Tiba Sebelum Berangkat, the novel examined transformations of a bissu’s
gender identity. Concepts of identity, gender, and objectification were applied in this
research to discover the story’s narrative structure. The purpose of this research is
to understand transformations of gender in the character of Mapata, who underwent
changes from being a calabai, an oroane (toboto), to becoming a bissu. Based on the
analysis in this research, it is concluded that during the transformations, there were
objectifications performed by Islamic fundamentalist groups toward bissu. Practices of
objectification in fact were performed by not only external parties, but also other bissus.

Authors: Suprihatin Christina
Published: August 2019

As a part of citybook.eu project, the Flemish Dutch House deBuren regularly holds a
two-week program where international authors and photographers resided in various
cities. The goal of the program is to encourage these authors and photographs to
write stories, essays, and poems about the cities. These writings were then uploaded
to citybooks.eu in the forms of webtext, e-book, and 30-minute podcasts. In 2013 and
2015, citybooks about Semarang and Jakarta were published. The texts about these
two cities generally discussed the cultural legacy of colonialism. Aiming to show the
connection between space and attempts at conserving colonial cultural legacy, this
research focuses on how cultural legacy is discussed by various texts in citybooks
about Semarang and Jakarta. Aspects of space, issues of identity, and attempts at
conserving cultural heritages in the text were analyzed. Based on the findings, it was
concluded that Semarang and Jakarta were two cities which adopt different strategies
in conserving cultural legacies of the colonial period.

Instructional source in learning Bahasa Indonesia is nowadays, not only limited to printed
book but also to technology availably installed in every student’s smartphone such as
Instagram and KBBI V applications. However, it is still found that the students only use
printed book as a learning source. Instagram is a photo and video sharing application.
Meanwhile, KBBI V is an official application issued by the Language Development and
Development Agency, Ministry of Education and Culture. Accordingly, this study aims
at describing the uses of Instagram and KBBI V as alternative learning sources. This
study employs descriptive qualitative research method that focuses on the benefits of
following Badan Bahasa Kemendikbud, an official Instagram account of Badan Bahasa
Kemendikbud, as well as exploring the use of KBBI V application that each student
already installed in their mobile phone. Students class XII AK of SMK T. Amir Hamzah,
Indrapura were chosen as the sample of the study. Learning innovation must be
sustainably upheld. One of the ways to sustainably innovate it is by using smartphone
as learning media. BPPB also has its innovation to welcome industrial revolution 4.0
by providing on-line learning through on-line KBBI. In addition, the existence of social
media is also optimized to deliver information about language and literature that can
be accessed by everyone, everywhere, and every time easily and quickly. Instructional

Language and law seem to have either distant or no connection at all. However, in
reality these two disciplines are closely interconnected and interrelated, particularly
in the perspectives of Islamic legal theory. One’s language competence is among the
determining factors in comprehending Islamic law. This is because in Islamic legal
theory, law is derived from the tenets enshrined in the Qur’an and the Prophetic
traditions that require a high standard of Arabic language science. Thus, it can be
concluded that language and law are inseparable. Unfortunately, many students
majoring Islamic law still have minor knowledge as well as awareness of the connection
between these two disciplines. Regarding this case in hand, the aims of this study are
two fold; first, to find out students’ awareness of the role of language competence in
Islamic legal theory, and second, to investigate the correlation between the awareness
with students’ competence in Islamic legal theory. This study conducted at the
postgraduate program, UIN SU employed a qualitative approach. The data were
collected by using questionnaire and in-depth interview. The findings reveal that
students’ awareness of the significance of language competence is still relatively low.
Furthermore, it is also found that the awareness is positively correlated with their
competence in Islamic legal theory.
Swettenham’s Work Malay Sketches and the Myth of Lazy Malays Issues: Re-Evaluation in Welcoming Industrial Revolution 4.0
Authors: Mohd Noor Noordin
Published: August 2019

The industrial revolution that took place in Europe in the early stages caused
colonialism in Southeast Asia countries, particularly Britain in Malaya (Tanah Melayu).
The English colonization opened up space in literature as some of the colonial
officials wrote their autobiographical works or travelogues bearing their experiences
witnessed the societies and cultures of the colonies. At the same time there were
some English officials from the British East India sentenced to work in Malaya who
took the opportunity to record their travel experiences living here with Malay peoples.
Swettenham is one of them. But what is not quite good to know is that they recorded
negative things about Malays. The statements are not exactly accurate. This is because
it is merely a personal view from the colonial perspectives. This paper intends to
address the issue of Laziness Malay myth by citing Swettenham’s statements in his
travelogue entitled Malay Sketches. Frank Swettenham, (born March 28, 1850,Belper,
Derbyshire, Eng.—died June 11, 1946, London), British colonial official in Malaya who
was highly influential in shaping British policy and the structure of British administration
in the Malay Peninsula. He learned the Malay language and played a major role
as British-Malay intermediary in the events surrounding British intervention in the
peninsular Malay states in the 1870s. He successfully promoted the development
of coffee and tobacco estates in the Malay state and helped boost tin earnings by
constructing a railway from Kuala Lumpur. His services help to energize the industrial
revolution in England. This conference is a literary privilege that gives scholars the
opportunity to give a feed back to this Englishman’s allegations to the Malays.
