BACKGROUND

As young adults living with perinatal HIV (PHIV) or perinatal HIV exposure but uninfected (PHEU) grow older and manage the challenges and competing demands of young adulthood, new approaches are needed to facilitate their retention in longitudinal research and clinical care beyond in-person clinic visits. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the novel virus that causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19), emerged in the United States in January 2020 and has underscored this need; studies are adapting to remote communication with and data collection from participants. However, there are limited data on communication preferences among young adults who are living with PHIV or PHEU.

OBJECTIVE

The objectives of this qualitative study were to describe participants’ perceptions and use of social media and technology in their personal lives and in the context of participating in longitudinal pediatric HIV research and to describe the implications of the use of technology and social media for communication and retention purposes within a longitudinal pediatric study about HIV.

METHODS

We conducted 6 focus group discussions with 31 young adults living with PHIV and 13 in-depth interviews with 6 young adults living with PHIV and 7 living with PHEU. We asked about their preferences for the use of social media and digital technology in the Adolescent Master Protocol, a US-based longitudinal cohort study of youth affected by HIV.

RESULTS

Participants’ willingness to use social media platforms, telephone calls, SMS text messages, and video calls within the context of HIV research varied due to fears of HIV stigma and inadvertent disclosure. However, trusting relationships with clinical staff positively impacted their willingness to use these platforms.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings offer insight into how pediatric studies and clinics can communicate with participants as they age, even as new technologies and social media platforms emerge and replace old ones. For optimal retention, pediatric clinical staff should consider communication approaches offering flexible and tailored options for young adults participating in HIV research.

UNSTRUCTURED

Two months have passed since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the pandemic of the Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19), caused by the SARS CoV-2 virus, on March 11, 2020. Medical and healthcare workers have continued to be on the frontline to defeat this disease, however, continual changes are being made to their working habits which are proving to be difficult.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, a major reorganisation of all hospital wards, including dermatological wards, has been carried out in order to make medical and nursing staff available in COVID wards and to prevent the spread of infection. These strategies, which were also adopted in our clinic, proved to be effective, as no staff members or patients were infected by the virus. Now, thanks to the global decrease in SARS-CovV2 infections, it is necessary to make dermatological wards accessible to patients again, but it is also essential to adopt specific protocols to avoid a new wave of infections.

GEOPOLITIKA NOVOG HLADNOG RATA U EVROPI – OD NOVOG IDEOLOŠKOG SUČELJAVANJA DO KRAHA RAZORUŽANJA
Authors: Perisic Srdjan
Published: May 2020

Autor u radu sagledava novo hladnoratovsko sučeljavanje u Evropi između SAD i Rusije. Posle uvoda, gde su istraživačka pitanja, u drugom poglavlju se daje osvrt na geopolitički karakter Hladnog rata, posebno na njegov početak, kako bi se uporedilo sa savremenom situacijom. Ističe se da uzrok Hladnog rata strukturno leži u zapadnoj geopolitičkoj teoriji. U trećem poglavlju sagledavaju se koncepcije bezbednosti u Evropi, nakon 30 godina od završetka Hladnog rata, koje nude Rusija i SAD. Navodi se da su ruske inicijative o novoj bezbednosti u Evropi, kao bezbednosti jednakoj za sve, blokirane od strane SAD. U četvrtom poglavlju analizira se savremeno ideološko sučeljavanje Zapada i Rusije, posle ruskog otklona od liberalne ideologije. U pitanju je nova karakteristika sukoba Zapada sa Rusijom, koja suštinski osvetljava novo hladnoratovsko sučeljavanje. Peto poglavlje razmatra rušenje Sporazuma o raketama srednjeg i kratkog dometa 2019. godine i posledice po evropsku bezbednost. U zaključku su dati odgovori na istraživačka pitanja.
KOSOVO STATUS ACCORDING TO STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ZAGREB AND THE UNIVERSITY OF BELGRADE
Authors: Hebda Wiktor
Published: May 2020

Kosovo independence still remains a key issue on a global scale. In simple terms, there are two contradictory stands on the sovereignty of Kosovo. According to the first one, Kosovo declaration of independence is illegal due to the breach of international law and the constitution of the Republic of Serbia of 2006. Meanwhile the second stand proves that unilateral Kosovo declaration of independence was legal since Kosovo Albanians are fully entitled to the right of self-determination. The following paper presents an opinion on Kosovo independence expressed by the students of the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Belgrade and the University of Zagreb – two most important universities in Serbia and Croatia. The results presented in the paper are based on the survey carried out by the author in 2013.
WILDLIFE ASSOCIATED WITH A COFFEE PLANTATION IN CORDOBA, VERACRUZ, MEXICO
Authors: Barrera-Méndez Willebaldo , Vázquez-López Horacio
Published: May 2020

The coffee plantations have been considered refuges of biological diversity, the faunistic studies in this type of agroecosystems are of great importance for the knowledge and conservation of the fauna. The objective of the present study was to know the wild fauna and the status of conservation of the species present in the farm "El Chorrito". Sixty-one species were recorded, 24 corresponding to avifauna, 20 to herpetofauna and 17 to mastofauna; this represents 3.4% of the avifauna reported for the Estado de Veracruz, 11.11% of the herpetofauna reported for the country's coffee plantations and 3.21% of the 529 species of mammals reported for Mexico; 18 of these are found in the NOM-059, seven in the IUCN red list and 18 in the CITES appendix. The presence of species with some sensitivity to disturbance is similar in an undisturbed habitat and a farm. The coffee plantations are an excellent habitat because the animals find shelter and constant food, which suggests a high degree of conservation of the place. Small mammals and birds are part of the biological groups that are considered ecological indicators of the role that coffee plantations play in the protection of habitat biodiversity, as a result of different management or degree of conservation. Four species were observed on the farm that can be considered as detector species since they can provide information on habitat quality. It can be concluded that there is a similarity with the surrounding forest in terms of fauna.

Violencia en la formación médica
Authors: García Hernández Héctor , Alvear Galindo Guadalupe
Published: May 2020

The purpose of this work is to provide elements to understand, in a broad way, the violence within medical training, since most of the work on the subject focuses on its consequences: for example, the physical and psychological conditions of violent acts in the medical training. The article begins with the concept of violence proposed by Galtung, that points out direct violence, structural violence and cultural violence. Then, it describes the hegemonic medical model as a sculptor of medical culture and its effect on medical practice and medical education. Afterwards, it describes the medical habitus and the hidden curriculum, two elements of the medical culture. The first one refers to how the medical personnel justifies the use of violence, the second one refers
to what is taught about the structure, organization and function of the health institutions. Then, the article reviews the characteristics of the health institutions as spaces where an organized medical practice is crystallized in a rigid, hierarchical and vertical manner. We then focus on the worker/student conflict. These conditions are necessary for the appearance of direct violence in the medical training.
Key words: Cultural violence; structural violence; direct violence; medical training; hegemonic medical model.
Becoming European: Strangers Finding a Place in the European Union
Authors: Fischer-Souan Maricia
Published: May 2020

This article addresses the idea of belonging in Europe from the perspective of postcolonial migrants settling in EU societies. It draws on over one hundred in-depth interviews with Algerian, Ecuadorian, and Indian individuals settled mainly in and around the cities of London, Madrid, and Paris. Rather than investigating migrants’ orientations to Europe through a narrow interest in self-identification (feeling vs. not feeling European), it delves into individual migration narratives for evidence of how Europe is imagined (if it is imagined at all) during the migration process and its relation to other physical and symbolic sites. As a frame for interpreting individual migration narratives, I introduce the concept of ‘migratory rupture’, a dialectical experience of both the disorienting and creative aspects of migration.  In excavating some of the reflexive processes involved in constructing symbolic geographies of attachment, I find that regardless of the scales of comparison used to articulate place affiliation across different contexts, e.g. whether small-scale (neighbourhoods or city districts) or larger-scale (supranational or de-territorialized categories), symbolic geographies allow migrants to view their transnational life experience on a single, coherent plane and express a form of global consciousness.
The Effect of Membership in the European Monetary Union on Trade Between Member Countries (An Empirical Study)
Authors: Soroka Ihor
Published: May 2020

The question of whether or not to adopt the euro is a very important one, not only for the 13 European Union members that do not share the same currency, but also for future EU candidates. Current literature on the effect of the euro on trade is scarce since the European Monetary Union (EMU) was officially created in 1999, and up until recently there has not been enough data to analyze this issue. This paper aims to estimate the effect of the euro on trade between member countries using the standard gravity model of trade. Using data from current 25 EU members over the period from 1997 to 2004, I show that higher trade volumes between EMU members cannot be attributed to the adoption of the euro. I find evidence that the euro adoption has had a short-run effect on bilateral trade and that this effect is eliminated over a short period of time. My findings suggest that members of the EMU trade on average from 8.8% to 47% more compared to non-members depending on the type of regression used, while members of the Free Trade Agreement trade 61.3% more. The effect of the euro on trade is eliminated as soon as I control for country-pair specific effects that include the FTA effect as well as history of trade relations between two countries. I conclude that the adoption of the euro should be seen as a final step in the European economic and monetary integration for countries that already benefit from relatively high volumes of bilateral trade.

“Rolling Up the Sleeves”1 How EU policy towards Serbia and Montenegro acts as the glue that holds the State Union together?
Authors: Papic Marko
Published: May 2020

The most powerful tool of EU foreign policy in dealing with potential candidate countries (and beyond) is that of political conditionality. The successes of this policy, as well as its spectacular failures, have been largely well documented by the political science research community. Far less research, however, goes into explaining the scenarios where the EU goes “beyond conditionality” (Teokarevic 2003) in its dealings with potential candidates for membership in the EU. The goal of this paper is to explain the extremely intensive and pro-active EU involvement in the drafting of the Constitution of Serbia and Montenegro and the subsequent attempts by Brussels to determine the future nature of the union between these neighboring republics. In answering this question the paper looks at the history of EU’s involvement in the region and attempts to provide a theoretical framework that can best provide the explanation for the motivation of EU’s policy makers to utilize such a direct strategy of involvement that goes far “beyond conditionality”.

Denmark as the Big Satan: Projections of Scandinavia in the Arab World and the Future of Multiculturalism
Authors: Anders Rudling Per
Published: May 2020

During the winter and spring of 2006, Denmark and Scandinavia faced its most serious crisis since World War II. The conflict started as a Danish newspaper published a number of cartoons, some of which portrayed the prophet Muhammad. After the Danish government rejected their requests to censor the media, Danish Islamists distributed these pictures to some senior political and religious figures in the Middle East and requested their support against Denmark. To these pictures, they added a number of more offensive images, never published in any Danish newspaper in order to infuriate Muslims around the world. Muslim clerics, assisted by the governments of Saudi Arabia, Syria and Iran caused the region to explode in protest and violent riots, in which 44 people were killed. Danish products were boycotted across the Muslim world; Scandinavian embassies were attacked and set ablaze in Syria, Iran, Lebanon and Indonesia. Islamists promised substantial rewards for anyone who would murder Danish and Norwegian peacekeepers, and Scandinavian UN forces were attacked in Palestine and Afghanistan. The Scandinavian countries and the EU are struggling to find a way to address the issue of radical Islam within their societies, and how to defend liberal democratic values from attacks from its enemies. This process may lead to a redefinition of values, a shift from multiculturalism to an embrace of the democratic western values upon which the European states are based.

The European Security and Defence Policy: Defining the European Union as a Rational Actor in International Security
Authors: Castillo Juan-Camilo
Published: May 2020

The main objective of this article is to analyze how the European Union, through its Security and Defence Policy, has become a rational actor in international security matters since the end of the Cold War. It will analyze the close relation that exists between European integration and the notion of continental collective security. Also the new post-Cold War concerns that present a potential risk to the EU are going to be examined, and consequently how they affect the rationality of this institution as an actor. Finally the last section will explore the divergence between Europe and America in matters of security and the way this political drift may create a situation in which NATO can become irrelevant in regards of European defence.

The Growing Influence of the Courts over the Fate of Refugees
Authors: Soennecken Dagmar
Published: May 2020

A number of migration scholars suggest that domestic courts have become the key protective institution for refugees. How can we explain this claim? One prominent explanation identifies group litigation as the key source of the increasing influence of the courts. How well does this explanation travel empirically? The article evaluates this explanation by examining the puzzling behaviour of German refugee NGOs. They have not entered the legal arena directly (either as parties or as interveners), nor have they concentrated on developing extensive litigation campaigns. Still, they are remarkably ‘judicialized’: their frequent engagement with the law in other respects has heightened their legal consciousness. Why have German refugee NGOs made such different choices than their North American counterparts and what do these choices tell us about the expanding influence of the courts over the fate of refugees in Germany and North America? To make sense of the different choices that these organizations have made, we need to understand the role that institutional norms and procedures, in particular policy legacies, have played in directing the behaviour and identity of these groups. For a number of reasons, German refugee NGOs historically have been discouraged from directly accessing the courts in favour of indirect participation. Since Canadian and American refugee organizations follow a pattern closer to the expectations of the (largely North American) literature on the subject, we need to be more careful in thinking through ou

The Role of Italy in the Development of Energy Cooperation between Kazakhstan and the EU
Authors: Nurgaliyeva Lyailya
Published: May 2020

This paper focuses on the contribution of Italy to the development of energy cooperation between Kazakhstan and the EU, focusing on the specific case of the Kashagan oil field. I argue that Italy, as the largest importer of Kazakhstan’s oil, can play a significant role in the diversification of energy export routes from Kazakhstan and in the introduction of new European technologies. In turn, Kazakhstan can play a prominent role in ensuring the energy security of the EU, especially after the 2014 Crimea incident. I posit that recent Italy-Kazakhstan relations shows how a medium-sized power such as Italy can be important in leading a larger block of countries into a new field of investment and development.

The Politics of Face Coverings and Masks in Russia, France, and Quebec
Authors: Chandler Andrea
Published: May 2020

Since 2004, governments in a number of countries have initiated tense political debates over the question of whether religious symbols should be permitted in public places. Frequently, such debates have focussed on the head and face coverings worn by many observant Muslim women, as has been explored by a rich scholarly literature. However, relatively little has been written about the specific reasons why these laws have been adopted, and few cross-national comparisons have been made. This paper will examine the following cases: first, the law against wearing face coverings in France, adopted during Nicolas Sarkozy’s presidency in 2010; and second, the extensive debates about access to government services for people wearing religious clothing in Québèc (Canada). Finally, the paper will examine the distinct case of Russia, where high court decisions have revealed a reversal in the authorities’ former tolerance of the wearing of head coverings in public places. Three variables help to explain why these laws came upon the political agenda in these admittedly very different countries. First, all three adopted previous measures to limit citizens’ ability to don face coverings during political protests; second, these countries’ choices influenced each other, showing the importance that global influences can play in policy formation; and finally, political leaders attempted to use laws on face and head coverings as a strategy to reinforce their power.

Inscribing Maternalism in the Social Investment Perspective
Authors: Jenson Jane
Published: May 2020

Beginning in the 1960s, second-wave feminists framed their claims against the discourses and policy practices in the male breadwinner model that was widespread at the time. They found it too maternalist, accepting the traditional role of women as mothers responsible for care. It is, therefore, ironic that the male breadwinner model is no longer promoted by public policy communities, and yet, maternalism has returned to policy practices. The social investment perspective, now dominant in European social policy, addresses women primarily as mothers and secondarily as workers. This article documents this return to maternalism and attributes the shift to two ideational mechanisms present in the universe of political discourse within which proponents of the social investment perspective act. One is a mechanism of “being aware of gender,” including differences generating inequalities, and the other is a mechanism of “writing out gender equality.” Both drive the process of inscribing maternalism into policy and programmes.

Teachers' transformational leadership and students' employability development: A social cognitive career perspective
Authors: Wang Shan , Peng Michael Yao-Ping , Xu Yan , Simbi Violet Tinotenda , Lin Ku-Ho , Teng Tien-Chiang
Published: May 2020

Higher education policy and talent training are failing to meet the ever-changing expectations of employers and society in Taiwan, resulting in a gap between university education and employment. We used social cognitive career theory to explore the relationships between problem-based
learning, teachers' transformational leadership, and students' self-efficacy and employability. Participants were 619 undergraduates from 12 Taiwanese higher education institutions. We performed structural equation modeling and found that there were significant positive correlations between
students' self-efficacy, problem-based learning, and employability, along with teachers' transformational leadership. Further, problem-based learning and the students' self-efficacy were key mediators of the relationship between teachers' transformational leadership and students' employability.
Implications are discussed for related issues and future research involving models of students' employability.
Personality and career decision-making self-efficacy of students from poor rural areas in China
Authors: Wu Shiyong , Zhang Kai , Zhou Shuyi , Chen Wei
Published: May 2020

We examined the correlations between personality and career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE) of university students from poor rural areas in China from an educational equity perspective. The results showed that female (vs. male) students were more neurotic, senior (vs. younger)
students were more agreeable, and social science students were more neurotic than those in other disciplines. The results also revealed that differences in the total CDMSE were nonsignificant, but there was a gender difference in accurate self-appraisal and a difference by year of study in
gathering information. There was a positive correlation between conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness, and extraversion, and CDMSE, and a negative correlation between neuroticism and CDMSE. The 5 personality traits, except for agreeableness, played a crucial role in predicting CDMSE.
The results suggest that officials and staff of governments, universities, and industries should work together to develop proactive personality traits of students from poor rural areas in China, facilitate their CDMSE, and help them achieve their employment aspirations, thereby promoting educational
equity.
Negative life events and mood states: Emotional resilience as mediator and moderator
Authors: Li Zhizhuan , Zha Jianxiang , Zhang Pengcheng , Shangguan Chenyu , Wang Xia , Lu Jiamei , Zhang Min
Published: May 2020

We conducted a survey with 608 Chinese college students to investigate the mediating and moderating effects of emotional resilience in the relationship between negative life events and mood state. Researchers have previously examined either the moderating or mediating effect of emotional
resilience in this relationship, and there has been disagreement about whether emotional resilience is idiosyncratic or state-driven. Our results showed that college students' level of emotional resilience and mood state were significant predictors for the effect of negative life events; emotional
resilience had a significant positive effect on college students' mood state, and emotional resilience had a significant mediating and moderating effect in the relationship of negative life events and college students' mood state. These findings not only further support the theory that emotional
resilience is statedriven, but also highlight the important role of emotional resilience in maintaining the emotional health of college students.
E-tailing service recovery and customer satisfaction and loyalty: Does perceived distributive justice matter?
Authors: Wu Xiaoyu , Du Shuang , Sun Yongbo
Published: May 2020

We built an e-tailing service recovery research framework to explore the effect of online service recovery on postrecovery customer satisfaction and loyalty after service failure. We also investigated the mediating role of customer perceived distributive justice in the relationship
between service recovery and recovery effects. We conducted a survey with 330 undergraduate students in Beijing. The results showed that both psychological and tangible recovery were significantly related to customer perceived distributive justice. Psychological recovery and distributive justice
also positively influenced postrecovery customer satisfaction. The positive impact of tangible recovery on postrecovery satisfaction was not significant. Psychological and tangible recovery and distributive justice all positively affected customer loyalty. The mediating role of distributive
justice in the relationship between online service recovery and recovery effects was also confirmed. These findings show that e-tailers should pay more attention to both psychological and tangible recovery after service failure to retain customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Effect of celebrity athlete endorsement on sporting goods consumers' brand passion and loyalty

Published: May 2020

Although findings of prior studies have provided insights into brand–consumer relationships, there is a scarcity of investigation into the effect of an athlete endorser's credibility on consumers' brand passion and brand loyalty. Thus, we investigated the effects of an athlete
endorser's attractiveness and expertise on both brand passion and brand loyalty of sporting goods consumers. Participants in our study were 178 Korean golf product consumers. Results revealed that athlete endorser attractiveness and expertise were both significant determinants of brand passion
among golf product consumers. Results also confirmed that brand passion positively affected brand loyalty. Lastly, brand passion had significant positive mediating roles between athlete endorser attractiveness and expertise and brand loyalty. The study has contributed to advancing previous
research on brand–consumer relationships by examining the effects of endorser source attractiveness and expertise on brand passion and brand loyalty among sporting goods consumers.

Verificou-se ser quase unânime a apinião que o FR-2 tem uma mínima influência no crescimento maxilar e em relação ao crescimento e grau de protrusão mandibular observou-se ser significantemente maior que em grupos controle, ocorrendo uma melhora na relação maxilomandibular. Constatou-se haver a manutenção da posição vertical da maxila e do padrão de crescimento, enquanto que, as alturas faciais ântero-inferior e posterior tenderam a aumentar em relação ao grupo controle. Os incisivos superiores inclinaram para palatino e os inferiores para vestibular. Em relação as dimensões transversais da maxila e mandíbula, estas apresentam um aumento em relação ao grupo controle. O perfil tegumentar não demonstrou alterações significativas quanto ao lábio superior, pequeno aumento do ângulo nasolabial e significativo aumento do sulco mentolabial.
Eski Uygur Türkçesi Metinlerinde "Sumer~Sumeru Tag" İfadesi Üzerine
Authors: İsi Hasan
Published: May 2020

İnanç tarihi, kişioğlunun dünya üzerinde var olduğu günden bu yana, çeşitli tabiatüstü varlıklara dayalı anlatılar çerçevesinde gelişen dinî sistemlere sahip olmuştur. Kuşaktan kuşağa aktarılma özelliği de taşıyan bu inanç sistemleri içerisinde yer alan ve bu unsurları besleyen kavramlardan biri de mitlerdir. Yaşanılan toplumsal düzen içerisinde daha çok bilinmeyen zamanlardan miras alınan genellikle dünyanın yaratılışı, insan varlığı ve Tanrı kavramı üzerine odaklanan mitler, özellikle ağaç, tepe, dağ, taş vb. kültlere sahiptir. Bu mitler arasında yer ile gök arasındaki bağlantıyı sağlayan Hint, Çin, Japon, Grek ve İran dinî geleneği içerisinde “evrenin merkezi” olarak görülen dağ kültü yer almaktadır. Gökyüzünün sahip olduğu yükseklik ve sonsuzluk ihtişamından hareketle, yüce bir varlığın bu mekânda bulunduğu inancını taşıyan insanoğlu, gökyüzü ve dağa kutsal gözüyle bakarak dağ kültünü ortaya koymuştur. Hinduizm ve Budizm içerisinde Sumeru ya da Meru Dağı olarak görülen bu dağ kültü, özellikle Budizm’i benimsemiş halkların dinî yaşam sistemi içerisinde önem arz etmektedir.

Uygurların şehir yaşamı ve ticaret temelli geliştirdikleri ilişkiler sonucu benimsenen Budizm’le Orta Asya’da Sumer~Sumeru sözcükleri özelinde kutsal dağ kültünün yer aldığı görülmektedir. Orta Asya Türk Budizmi içerisinde Uygurların Toharca A/B üzerinden Türkçeye aktardığı Sumer~Sumeru ifadesi, Budizm ve Hinduizm’de olduğu gibi, “dünyanın merkezinde duran dağ” anlamını taşımaktadır. Eski Uygur Türkçesinin Budist metinlerinde rastlanılan “Sumer~Sumeru Tag” ifadesi, Türk dilinin dinî terminolojisi içerisinde yer alan Budist bir terimdir. Bu çalışma ile Eski Uygur Türkçesinin Budist metinlerinde görülen “Sumer~Sumeru Tag” ifadesi özelinde, kutsal din ve inançlarda yer alan dağ kültü kavramı hakkında bilgiler verilerek Eski Uygur Türkçesinde görülen bu dinî terimin sahip olduğu kavramsal değer, bu açıklamalarla ortaya konmak istenmiştir.

Bu araştırmanın amacı çağdaş Kanadalı oyun yazarlarından biri olan Judith Thompson’nın The Crackwalker (1981) ve Lion in the Streets (1992) isimli oyunlarında ki kadın bedenlerini, başta Kate Millett ve Shulamith Firestone olmak üzere radikal feminist bakış açısıyla incelemektir. Radikal feminizm, toplumda ki kadın ve erkeğin üstlendiği adil olmayan rollerin sebebi olarak kadın ve erkek biyolojik farklılıklarını ve ataerkil sistemin baskısını görür. Oldukça etkileyici ve yenilikçi tarzıyla günümüz Kanada tiyatrosuna damgasını vuran Thompson, her iki oyununda da ataerkil sistem içerisinde yaşayan kadın ve erkek ilişkilerini ele alır. Thompson, The Crackwalker da Theresa- Alan ve Sandy-Joe karakterlerinin kendi aralarında ve hatta birbirleri arasında geçen aşk, evlilik,sexuality ve arkadaşlık gibi temaları ele alır. Theresa, Alan ile evlenerek, Alan’ın çocuk arzusu isteğini yerine getirmek zorunda kalır. Joe ile evli olan Sandy ise defalarca Joe’nun kaba sözlerine ve fiziksel şiddete boyun eğer. Lion in the Streets oyununda ise Thompson, tacize uğradıktan sonra öldürülen Isobel’in hayaletinin tanık olduğu kadın-erkek ve aile ilişkilerinden ve cinayetlerden bahseder. Oyunun ilk bölümünde eşi tarafından aldatıldığını öğrenen Sue, Bill’i terketmek yerine onun hakaretlerine katlanıp affetmeyi tercih eder. İkinci bölümde yer alan Edward ve Sherry, nişanlı bir çift, ilişkisinde ise Thompson, erkeğin kendi tatmini için kadını nasıl aşağıladığını gözler önüne serer. Her iki oyundada Thompson evli çiftleri mutluluk tablosu içerisinde yer almaz. Hatta Thompson, patriarchal yapı içerisinde varolan kadın vücutlarının evlilik teması altında nasıl ezildiğini ve yavas yavas tüketildiğini anlatır.
Thermal therapy for eye diseases
Authors: Li Li-Juan
Published: May 2020

Hot compress is a commonly used method to deal with various eye diseases, but
its bio-mechanism is not clear yet. Here we give a complete theoretical
analysis of thermal therapy. The increase of temperature will greatly
improve the metabolic activity of the infected eyes and decrease remarkably
the longevity of virus. The optimal temperature and period of hot compress
are discussed, and some case studies are provided.

This research aims to identify the morphological changes in Gendol river, Merapi volcano. After the eruption 2010, Gendol river filled up by pyroclastic materials, then utilized as mining area. As the volcanic materials are abundance in Gendol river, sand mining activities are dominant, causing antrophogenic interferences that changes the morphology of Gendol valley. In this study, the morphological changes is measured by terrestrial survey, aerial mapping, and materials analysis through petrographic and granulometric analysis. Aerial mapping was conducted in February and August 2019 in order to identify the dynamic changes during 6 months observation. Vertical changes is found in the active mining zone, in western-side of research area, while horizontal changes was found in eastern-side. The comparison of widening and narrowing valley is 13:1 due to horizontal changes. Result of petrographic analysis showes that three different sampling locations originated from similar provenance, which is undissected arc provenance but may differ in period of sedimentation. Grain material found in research are categorized as suitable material for mining with the 0,733 mm grain size. However, the mining activities should be aware of material availability to minimize the riverbank failure.

Balanced nutrition is vital for peak performance of immune function, especially when a global pandemic is emerging, and there is major lack in approved treatments for it. Many nutrients and their abundance in cells induce immune function. We performed a narrative review to describe existing literature with regard to role of nutrients in supporting the immune system against viral infection including coronavirus (SARS-COV-2). PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases were searched for relevant articles. This review represents a picture of the current state of the art. In particular, we classified the nutrients by means of their types, abundance, importance and possible antiviral effects in immune system. The macronutrients such as carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins are essential for cells to generate energy and participate in immune function as well. However, unbalanced diet with high levels of macromolecules could lead to chronic diseases that impair the body’s immune abilities. The micronutrients including vitamins and minerals participate in immune system on a bigger scale that almost all body’s immune mechanism depends on the expressions of micronutrients. Vitamins improve immune responses. Some vitamins include A, D, K, B, and C enroll in antiviral mechanism of the immune cells. A group of trace elements including zinc, copper, selenium, magnesium, manganese, and iron are heavily contributed in maintaining body’s immunity. The susceptibility toward the infectious diseases is highly elevated in cases of their deficiencies. Besides their antiviral roles, vitamins such as E and C with minerals in the cells adopt antioxidant properties that help immune cells to fight oxidative stress in the cells. Nevertheless, the high levels of minerals such as iron could threat the immune system by growing the oxidative stress. So, maintaining rich and balanced nutrition could improve body’s immune function, and possibly prevent viral infections including COVID-19.
Технические аспекты публикации на нескольких языках – как правильно связать DOI
Authors: Бирюков Александр , Скалабан Алексей
Published: May 2020

Статья призвана оспорить утверждение "объединить же ссылки на версии одной и той же статьи в журналах разных издательств не представляется возможным (DOI пока эту задачу не решает)".

Мы рассматриваем проблему публикации на нескольких языках и связанные с этим библиометрические и этические проблемы. Текущие практики включают в себя а) использование одного DOI одним издателем, б) использование разных DOI одним издателем, в) использование разных DOI разными издателями. Существующие решения для связи публикаций на нескольких языках, такие как Math-Net.Ru решают рассмотренные проблемы только частично. Проанализировав плюсы и минусы различных решений, мы предлагаем решение связывания DOI различных версий статьи с помощью нового механизма Crossref и рассмотрим как этот механизм используется международными и российскими журналами. Мы надеемся, массовый переход журналов на использование этого механизма не только исключит этические проблемы, но и поможет международным наукометрическим базам организовать правильный подсчет цитат.

KETERLIBATAN PENULIS MELALUI ASPEK KEBAHASAAN PADA BUKU TEKS PELAJARAN BERBASIS KURIKULUM 2013
Authors: Fadly Ahmad
Published: May 2020

Buku teks pelajaran (buku TP) berpengaruh pada pengetahuan, pemahaman, dan cara pandang peserta didik. Buku teks pelajaran Sejarah menentukan pemahaman peserta didik mengenai identitas bangsa di masa lalu sehingga dapat menjadi dasar tindakannya di masa depan. Keterlibatan penulis buku TP Sejarah tercermin melalui aspek kebahasaannya. Keterlibatan itu menunjukkan sikap penulis terhadap pengetahuan yang disajikannya melalui buku tersebut. Dengan menganalisis tiga buku TP Sejarah Kelas 10, Kelas 11, dan Kelas 12 menggunakan subsistem keterlibatan (engagement), terungkap bahwa heteroglossia hadir dalam buku TP Sejarah Kelas 10, 11, dan 12, tetapi memiliki karakteristik tersendiri. Pada buku TP Sejarah Kelas 10, penulis menggunakan heteroglossia dengan mengutip informasi faktual-objektif untuk mendukung argumennya, sedangkan pada buku TP Sejarah Kelas 11 penulis menggunakan heteroglossia dengan mengutip pendapat yang bersifat subjektif untuk mendukung argumennya. Sementara itu, pada buku TP Sejarah Kelas 12 penulis menggunakan heteroglossia untuk membentuk wacana pada buku tersebut. Pronomina kita secara intensif digunakan dan tidak digunakan pronomina kami atau saya pada ketiga buku tersebut. Artinya, penulis berstrategi untuk mengurangi tanggung jawabnya terhadap teks yang ditulisnya. Temuan lain ialah bahwa tamengan (hedges) lebih jarang ditemukan dibandingkan dengan boosters dan penggunaan pronomina inklusif kita hadir dengan frekuensi tinggi pada ketiga buku tersebut. Ini berarti bahwa dalam menjelaskan sejarah, penulis cenderung mengevaluasinya dengan meningkatkan derajat kualitas (uptoning).Kata kunci: keterlibatan; sistem appraisal; analisis wacana; buku teks pelajaran
