Power dan Aktivisme Transnasional Dalam Studi Hubungan Internasional
Authors: Nizmi Yusnarida Eka
Published: February 2022

AbstractThis paper attempts to participate in the literature on the study of social movements and self-help groups operating across national borders. The purpose of this paper is to show a significant gap in the contextualisation of transnational activism between state and community organizations as well as NGOs. This paper will also try to give a new discourse on the issue of political activism in a transnational context. The process of globalization is not only purely economic and political elites. Cross-border interaction among civil society actors (globalization from below) is one of the phenomena in contemporary politics to receive high media and academic attention. When NGOs and social movements not only focus on domestic or local areas but also act across national borders, that is where transnational activity increases. Transnational political activity challenges conventional understanding of civil society and social movements as well as international relations.
ANALISIS LEGAL-SOSIAL TERHADAP KONDISI KESETARAAN DAN KEADILAN GENDER DALAM MENDUKUNG PEMBANGUNAN BERKELANJUTAN INDONESIA
Authors: Kusumawardhana Indra -
Published: February 2022

Undeniably the issue of gender has become a very important issue globally. This urgency surfaced with the inclusion of gender issues as one of the main goals of the transformation of the global collective step, namely Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, which became a clear evidence of the growing concern of the world community regarding gender equality and polemics (un.org). However, gender equality and justice polemics remain a task far from over for Indonesia, especially when referring to the fact that the role of women in Indonesia still shows various inequalities in their correlation with development holistically. This condition is inseparable from the fact that until now Indonesia does not have a law that comprehensively accommodates the protection of women's rights from forms of discrimination against women, and violations of women's human rights in Indonesia's development. In this context, this study is woven within the framework of the urgency of gender equality and justice in Indonesia's development which demands laws that can become a comprehensive legal umbrella for the implementation of gender equality and justice. Using the approach of the social system, gender, and various concepts available in understanding women and development; and using qualitative methodologies in analyzing problems. This study will carry out a social-legal analysis of the implementation of gender equality and justice in order to explain a condition that ultimately shows the urgency of the Gender Equality and Justice Act as a basis for consolidating all elements of society in Indonesia's development today and in the future. Keywords: Legal-Social Analysis, Gender Equality and Justice, Sustainable Development
STRATEGI INDONESIA DALAM MEWUJUDKAN POROS MARITIM DUNIA DI TENGAH KEBIJAKAN JALUR SUTRA MARITIM CHINA
Authors: Zulham Muhammad , Saragih Hendra Maujana
Published: February 2022

Kebijakan Poros Maritim Dunia yang dicetuskan oleh Presiden Joko Widodo menjadi salah satu fokus utama dalam pembangunan nasional pada periode kepresidenan Jokowi – JK. Visi  Poros Maritim yang dicetuskan tersebut menitik fokuskan kepada pembangunan nasional Indonesia yang berbasiskan dengan aktifitas di laut. Penegakkan kedaulatan wilayah laut NKRI, revitalisasi sektor-sektor ekonomi kelautan, penguatan dan pengembangan konektivitas maritim, rehabilitasi kerusakan lingkungan dan konservasi biodiversity, serta peningkatan kualitas dan kuantitas SDM kelautan merupakan program- program utama dalam pemerintahan Presiden Jokowi guna mewujudkan Indonesia sebagai proros maritim dunia. Sebelum kebijakan Poros Maritim Dunia tersebut dicetuskan, pada tahun 2013 Pemerintah China di bawah Xi Jinping mengumumkan akan menghidupkan kembali konsep “Jalur Sutra” dalam agenda kebijakan luar negerinya. Jalur Sutra Maritim yang kemudian dipromosikan menjadi slogan baru China di berbagai forum internasional menjadi salah satu faktor yang dapat dimanfaatkan bagi Indonesia atau pula menjadi salah satu faktor penghambat untuk menuju visi poros maritim dunia tersebut mengingat China merupakan negara yang telah melakukan klaim sepihak kawasan Laut China Selatan yang tentunya akan berdapak terhadap stabilitas wilayah perbatasan maritim Indonesia. Tentu hal tersebut membuat Indonesia behati- hati dalam strategi maritimnya.

Ensino e aprendizagem online no Zimbabwe: algumas opiniões e crenças
Authors: Nhatuve Diocleciano , Mafuiane Moisés
Published: February 2022

Neste artigo discutimos as opiniões, percepções e sugestões de um grupo de estudantes universitários zimbabweanos e seus pais/encarregados sobre o ensino-aprendizagem online, com o objetivo geral de entender até que ponto as suas mundividências (des)favorecem esta modalidade de ensino. O estudo ancora-se nos princípios teóricos da aprendizagem online e numa metodologia mista. Os resultados revelam a superioridade percentual das percepções e sugestões adversas aos princípios e ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem online. No entanto, embora pouco representativos, registram-se igualmente ideias e sugestões favoráveis que não devem ser ignoradas. Neste sentido, argumentamos a favor da mudança de atitude negativa e da adaptação às novas formas de aprendizagem. As instituições de ensino, ao conceberem e implementarem projetos de ensino-aprendizagem online, devem incluir atividades de consciencialização do tecido social sobre a relevância desta modalidade de educação.
Políticas linguísticas autóctones e línguas indígenas em Roraima: o caso do povo Ye'kwana
Authors: Silva Marcus Vinícius da , Costa Isabella Coutinho , Mello Cristiani Dália de
Published: February 2022

O artigo proposto tem como objetivo refletir sobre as políticas linguísticas autóctones desenvolvidas por e para os povos indígenas do estado de Roraima, dada a realidade multilíngue e multicultural da constituição do estado, com especial atenção para as ações educacionais desenvolvidas pelo povo Ye’kwana. Para isso, a baseamo-nos nos estudos da área de Políticas Linguísticas (CALVET; 2007; COOPER; 1997[1989]; SILVA, 2018), a fim de compreender as relações tensivas entre o estado brasileiro e as línguas indígenas de Roraima. Para tanto, foi necessário recuperar pesquisas realizadas sobre os Ye’kwana (COSTA, 2013, 2018, 2019); (ANDRADE, 2007, 2013), bem como foi importante resgatar, de forma breve, a história das políticas linguísticas para os povos indígenas no Brasil para, assim, discutir sobre as políticas linguísticas autóctones pensadas e desenvolvidas por/para os povos indígenas no território roraimense (CUNHA, 2008; BRASIL, 1988, 1998; BANIWA, 2006; REPETTO, 2008). Percebemos que, em função da omissão do Estado, os Ye’kwana e outros povos indígenas têm buscado criar políticas para manter seus valores tradicionais dentro das necessidades que a contemporaneidade e a sociedade exigem, ao documentar e criar estratégias para ensinar e aprender suas próprias línguas e culturas, sem perder a sua essência e sua identidade.
Língua polonesa no Brasil em tempos de pandemia: novas possibilidades e limitações
Authors: Niewiadomski Sônia Eliane , Bielenin-Lenczowska Karolina
Published: February 2022

O presente artigo objetiva mapear e analisar as iniciativas desenvolvidas pela comunidade brasileira de ascendência polonesa no Paraná, em prol da preservação da cultura e manutenção do polonês como língua de herança durante a pandemia do vírus SARS-CoV-2. A estratégia de utilizar o ambiente virtual para minimizar os impactos de transmissão da doença tem se mostrado a melhor alternativa até o momento. Novas oportunidades de contatos linguísticos e culturais surgiram, mas também há limitações relacionadas à falta de interação social na modalidade presencial. Como conceito teórico central propomos a noção de língua de herança para o sistema linguístico falado por brasileiros de ascendência polonesa há mais de um século, transmitido de geração em geração e usado, principalmente, no ambiente familiar. O material empírico que esse estudo dispõe foi obtido de pesquisas etnográficas, descritiva e sociolinguística, de campo e observações de atividades realizadas nas modalidades remota e presencial no contexto pandêmico.

Published: February 2022

O projeto “Tradução, mediação linguística e disseminação de informações à comunidade”, desenvolvido entre março e dezembro de 2020 na UFPel, teve como objetivo principal disseminar informações confiáveis e precisas à comunidade durante a pandemia. A equipe pesquisou conteúdos de relevância social e divulgou textos para disseminar informações à comunidade e, de forma paralela, permitiu o desenvolvimento de diferentes habilidades. Neste artigo, discutem-se as contribuições do projeto para a educação linguística de participantes, a partir de resultados obtidos por meio de questionário enviado a integrantes. Os resultados mostram diferentes percepções sobre as contribuições à educação linguística: melhora na leitura e escrita em português e no conhecimento de outras línguas, além do desenvolvimento de letramentos acadêmicos e/ou informacionais. Embora o objetivo do projeto não tenha sido a educação linguística, as percepções sugerem, entre outras, a efetiva contribuição da tradução para aprendizagem de línguas e sensibilização para o multilinguismo.

(Des)lusofonias e (des)ensinos: por outras políticas linguísticas
Authors: Da Silveira Alexandre Cohn , Leviski Charlott Eloize , Rodrigues Garcia Balsalobre Sabrina
Published: February 2022

Neste artigo, objetivamos refletir sobre a discursivização da lusofonia como um projeto integrador da diversidade cultural e linguística dos países lusófonos, problematizando como o ensino de língua portuguesa promove um ensino decolonial (MIGNOLO, 2011). Na perspectiva integracionista (HARRIS, 1998), defendemos uma visão de linguagem integrada aos contextos de uso assumindo a língua como prática social e pensando na internacionalização da língua portuguesa num projeto plural e integracionista. No âmbito universitário brasileiro, apresentamos algumas ações institucionais promovidas pela Universidade da Integração Internacional da Lusofonia Afro-brasileira que contribuem para a construção de uma educação linguística integracionista. Igualmente, discutimos o ensino de língua portuguesa no cenário político-linguístico do curso de Letras dessa universidade na perspectiva de letramentos ideológico (STREET, 2014), antirracista (NASCIMENTO, 2019) e de resistência (SOUZA, 2011). Concluímos que ainda há um longo percurso para criação e manutenção de políticas públicas que assumam o compromisso com um Ensino Superior integracionista e democrático.
Integrationism: Roy Harris’ artspeak, artistic creativity, and human diversity in the age of globalization
Authors: Balosa David
Published: February 2022

This study provides a perspective on how Roy Harris’s work especially integrationism can be used beyond linguistics and communication studies toward fields of studies such as social and public policies and related fields. This study proposes that integrationism should also address issues related to the fields of global studies, sustainable development, and other related fields. It argues that the influence of integrationism on linguistics and communication analysis should be expanded to social and public policies to foster epistemic equity, diversity, and other intercultural values across academic disciplines and professional practices across the world. We address the question: How can integrationism promote artistic creativity, human diversity, and sustainable development for all in the age of globalization? In conclusion, we argue that applying an integrationism approach in social and public policies may promote what I am calling existential justice, existential literacy, and sustainable transformational interculturality. Hence, scholars, students, and professionals in different disciplines and careers may enjoy human, cultural, and epistemic diversity in all its creativity as they acquire competence in existential justice, existential literacy, and sustainable transformational interculturality.
Impressões e arquivos: notas sobre-vida, literatura e vida literária em Quarto de despejo, de Carolina Maria de Jesus
Authors: Tanus Gustavo
Published: February 2022

Neste ensaio, propomos uma crítica sobre arquivos literários, refletindo, sobretudo o arquivo da Carolina Maria de Jesus. Nossa motivação primeira advém da leitura de Quarto de despejo (1960), da autora; livro que é sua estreia na literatura e contemplou seus cadernos de memórias, edição que teve, numa recepção de primeira hora, foco documental nos aspectos do ambiente social no qual ela vivia e sobre o qual ela registrara suas memórias. Passado esse interesse sobre os lugares periféricos, relacionando também a uma dita tradição literária brasileira que não recebe bem a escrita diarística que não a de um sujeito mesmo, a autora não conseguira, em vida, um lugar estável e de reconhecimento pela qualidade de sua escrita, na profissão de escritora. Cogitamos refletir sobre o arquivo da escritora, pensando o trânsito performático rumo às instituições custodiadoras, estas que são, sobretudo, de conservação de arquivos de escritores da tradição; deslocamento do texto literário dela, lido antes como documental, para os documentos de acervo, que são literatura em potência de ser editada e/ou reeditada, portanto, recebida e possivelmente repensada em outras críticas. Observamos o caminho desde o arquivo que é “cérebro do poeta”, às suas “impressões” literárias, a que o livro aqui analisado é bastante representativo, reforçadas as impressões sobre a vida, a literatura, a vida literária e a “sobrevida”, esta em senso derridiano, ao que conectaremos à perspectiva de “escrevivência de nós”, ato/termo elaborado pela escritora crítica Conceição Evaristo. Para este ensaio, convocamos, além dela, Foucault, Derrida, Bhabha, sem os quais não poderíamos questionar as formas e os conteúdos dos arquivos da colonialidade, estes também contribuidores para a formação da ideia de nação, a qual está representada nos arquivos da nação, seja pela presença do gênio, do herói, seja pela ausência do que é posto como popular, como antagonista, como marginal.
A comparison of Hahnemannian and Korsakovian potentising methods using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Authors:   , Davies Troy Murray
Published: February 2022

The purpose of this study was to analyse and compare the NMR spectra ofa homoeopathic remedy (in this case Natrum muriaticum was used for its easy solubility and purity), that was prepared in the classical single vial Hahnemannian method, and also the widely used multi-vial Korsakovian method. Comparison was made in terms of the chemical shift (8) and relative integration values of the CH3, CH2, H20, and OH signals. A control was employed for both methods. The only difference between control and test remedies was the actual inclusion ofNatrum muriaticum in the latter, and the same weight of solvent as solute in the former. Comparison was made between both test methods, between test and control, and between the two controls. It was hypothesized that the method of dilution plays an important part in the potentisation process, and thus becomes part of the remedy's information content. The evolution of distinct physicochemical identities was hypothesized to occur specific to each method in ascending potency levels. Differences were therefore also hypothesized to exist between both methods at parallel potency levels in terms of chemical shift and relative integration values. The experiment was conducted as per the limitations of the scientific method. Both methods and their controls of Natrum muriaticum were potentised to the 9C, 30C, and 200C potency levels. They were prepared in 16ml volumes and transported to the NMR spectroscopy laboratory in Pietermaritzburg for analysis.
The efficacy of action potential therapy, as well as the relative effectiveness of two different action potential therapy electrode placements (abdominal versus paraspinal) in the management of irritable bowel syndrome
Authors:   , Von Senger Ivor
Published: February 2022

The aim of this placebo-controlled\xB7 trial was to investigate the efficacy of action potential therapy (APT) versus placebo, and the relative effectiveness of abdominal versus paraspinal electrode placement, in the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Convenience sampling was used to recruit sixty patients with IBS from the community. These patients were randomly divided into four groups (A, B, C and D). Each group consisted of 15 patients, aged between 20 and 69 years. Patients attended five consultations over three weeks. Treatment was given with either active or placebo APT during the first four consultations. The fifth consultation was for data collection only. Patients in group A and C both received active APT. In group A, the electrodes were placed over the abdomen, while in group C the electrodes were placed paraspinally. Patients in group Band 0 both received placebo APT using a placebo APT device. In group B, the electrodes were placed over the abdomen, while in group 0, the electrodes were placed paraspinally. The measures of efficacy were the IBS Quality of Life Questionnaire (IBS-QOl), the Shortform McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and the life line Stress Questionnaire (ll-SQ). Using these questionnaires, data was collected at the 1st. 3rd and s' consultations for each participant. The data was then analysed using the SPSS package. Assessment of intragroup and inter-group change was performed using Friedman's T-test and the Mann-Whitney U-Tests respectively. Analysis was performed at the 95% confidence level. Patients in all four groups showed a,n improvement in quality of life (measured by the IBSQOl), as well as in the perceived quantity of pain experienced (measured by the SF-MPQ), between initial and final consultations. As regards the patients' levels of stress (measured by the ll-SQ), there was no statistically significant improvement in any of the four groups between initial and final consultations. Inter-group comparison of the data showed a higher perceived quantity of pain in the active, paraspinally placed APT group (group C) at the first consultation when compared to both the

Background: Low back pain is a common problem for which many conservative treatments are available. Spinal manipulation is considered one of the most effective of these treatments. Interferential therapy is widely used especially for pain control and often forms part of a treatment protocol. However, there is little clinical evidence to support this usage. Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effectiveness of interferential current therapy as an adjunct to manipulation in the treatment of acute mechanical low back pain in terms of subjective and objective measures. Methods: Sixty subjects suffering from acute mechanical low back pain were recruited through advertising and randomly divided into two groups with thirty patients each. Group A received manipulation and interferential therapy and group B received manipulation only. Both groups received 4 treatments and a follow-up consultation over a 2 week period. Subjective measurements were taken using the Numerical Rating Scale - 101and revised Oswestry low back pain questionnaire. Objective measurements were taken using an algometer and an orthopaedic rating scale. All measurements were taken before treatment on the first, third and fifth consultations. Statistical inter-group analysis was completed using the two sample unpaired t-test and the Mann-Whitney U-test. Friedman's T test was used to evaluate the intra-group information. The null hypothesis was rejected at a = 0.05 level of significance. Results: Both treatment groups A and B achieved a significant improvement in pain and disability over the treatment period. However, no significant differences in terms of pain and disability could be found between the two groups at any stage during, or at the end of the treatment period.
The performance of base metal ceramic alloy restorations with reference to variances in thickness in metal and porcelain in order to establish optimal thickness ratios to maxize strength and aesthetic characteristics
Authors:   , Le Roux Andre Rayne
Published: February 2022

The greatest problem in maximizing strength and aesthetic characteristics of metal ceramic restorations arises when there is a lack of available space to allow sufficient thickness of metal alloy and porcelain. This generally results in the metal alloy being reduced to its minimum to allow adequate porcelain thickness. The minimum thickness to which noble metal alloys can safely be reduced, is generally accepted to be 0.3 mm due to previous clinical time-dependent trial and error. Agreement regarding the minimum thickness to which base metal alloys can safely be reduced is still under dispute possibly because base metal alloys have not had the same duration of clinical exposure. The objectives of the present study were: 1. To determine the influence thickness variations of the base metal alloy would have on strength characteristics of metal ceramic restorations and thereby establishing the minimum thickness to which base metal alloys can safely be reduced. 2. To determine the influence thickness variations of porcelain would have on strength and aesthetic characteristics of metal ceramic restorations and thereby establish the minimum thickness to which the porcelain thickness can safely be reduced. 3. To determine which base metal alloy to porcelain thickness ratios would be most suited in order to maximize strength and aesthetic characteristics in metal ceramic restorations where the amounts of available space for the alloy and porcelain are varied. For objective (1) Tensile strength tests to determine and compare the ability of various alloy thickness to resist porcelain fracture were performed in Newtons. For objective (2) Tensile tests to determine and compare the ability of various porcelain thickness to resist porcelain fracture were performed in Newtons.

Functional and pathological joint disorders are distinguished diagnostically through orthopaedic and functional assessment tests. Motion palpation is the procedure used to assess functional status of a joint. The methods used to validate this tool are inter- and intraexaminer reliabilty studies. The purpose of this study was to determine the intra- and interexaminer reliabilty of motion palpation of the patella. This randomised, single-blinded, prospective clinical reliability study included 50 chiropractic students, limited to first, second and third years due to subject naivety. Motion palpation of both patellae was assessed twice, one week apart, by four different examiners. The examiners were senior interns at the Durban Institute of Technology Chiropractic Faculty. Each had an assistant that recorded their motion palpation findings. Statistical analysis was completed under the supervision of Mr K. Thomas at Durban Institute of Technology. The results were analysed using non-parametric statistical tests such as Pearson's Chi-Square, McNemar's Test and Cohen's Kappa co-effecients.
Factors influencing radiographer’s decision making in relation to postgraduate education

Published: February 2022

The research and knowledge produced by postgraduate (PG) alumni is vital in improving the knowledge base of relevant fields. Postgraduate education is essential for an individual’s academic growth and a nation’s economic growth and development. South Africa is lagging behind with regard to PG outputs in various disciplines and radiography is one of them. Radiography is a relatively young academic profession in South Africa. Therefore, PG qualifications are critical to the development of the profession of radiography, both academically and clinically, to strengthen the academic force. The loss of academics, due to retirement and other reasons, necessitates the development of new academic professionals to replenish this expertise. Aim of the study The aim of the study was to explore the factors influencing radiographers’ decision making with regard to postgraduate (PG) education using Cross’s Chain-ofResponse (COR) Model as the theoretical framework to improve the enrolment and quality of PG education. Methodology The study employed an exploratory qualitative research method, using semistructured one-on-one interviews. The interview questions were based on Cross’s Chain-of-Response (COR) Model. The study was carried out at three provincial hospitals in the eThekwini district of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) as well as three private facilities within the district. The sample consisted of 20 qualified radiographers within these institutions. This research utilized an exploratory design and interpretivist paradigm. Thematic analysis of the collected data was performed with the use of the Atlas.ti software and the implementation of the code, re-code strategy. Findings Seven major themes that emerged from the data analysis were: (a) self-perception (b) attitude towards education (c) goals and expectations (d) life transitions (e) opportunities and barriers (f) information and (g) participation. The emerged themes were aligned to Cross’s Chain-of-Response Model. Conclusion The study revealed that the practicing radiographers in KZN exhibit a high selfperception of their capability of successfully completing PG programmes in radiography. However, many of the participants demonstrate little or no interest in pursuing these programmes. Their attitude and decision making towards pursuing these programmes are negatively influenced by a multitude of factors such as the absence of incentives, lack of time and institutional grievances. Participants consider PG programmes in radiography to simply provide opportunities in the academic field to achieve personal growth and satisfaction. Incentives such as potential growth in their field, monetary gain and/or a subsidy would be the strongest motivating factors to positively influence radiographers’ decision-making towards PG education.
Research on the Construction of Normalization Mechanism of Graduate Education Quality Monitoring and Evaluation Under the Background of Quality-Oriented Enrollment Expansion

Since the reform and opening up, with the economic and social development and industrial demand, the scale of graduate education in China has been expanding. According to the average annual growth rate of enrollment scale, it can be divided into three stages: recovery development, rapid development and steady growth. In 2020, the executive meeting of the State Council made the decision and deployment of graduate enrollment expansion. This quality-oriented enrollment expansion further highlights the risk challenges of the monitoring and evaluation of graduate education quality, and puts forward higher requirements for the monitoring and evaluation of graduate education quality. By strengthening the construction of monitoring and evaluation system, improving the monitoring and evaluation index system, enriching the monitoring and evaluation methods, and reasonably using the monitoring and evaluation results, the normalization mechanism of graduate education quality monitoring and evaluation with Chinese characteristics, in line with international trends, adapting to the needs of the industry and ensuring the training quality, is constructed.
