Authors: ALÇINAR Ramazan , ŞAHİN Mustafa Kürşat
Published: August 2023

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the association between medication adherence and quality of life in patients with diabetes receiving primary healthcare centers.
Method: Patients with type 2 diabetes, aged 18-65 between July and October 2022, were included in this cross-sectional study. A questionnaire including sociodemographic characteristics, the Diabetes Quality of Life (DQOL) scale, and the Modified Morisky Scale (MMS) were used.
Results: Two hundred nine patients with type 2 diabetes participated in this study. The mean age of the participants was 53.5±9.2 years, and 51.7% were women. The mean DQOL score of the participants was 3.8±0.7. Quality of life was higher among married participants and those with medium-high income, diagnosed with diabetes <5 years previously, without diabetes complications, using only oral antidiabetic drugs for the treatment of diabetes, who regularly used diabetes medications, who dieted and exercised for diabetes, and who regularly attended diabetes follow-up (p<0.05). Quality of life was also higher in those with better MMS showing a better medication adherence motivation and knowledge levels (p<0.01).
Conclusions: Participants' medication adherence motivation and knowledge levels were associated with an increased quality of life. Admission to primary healthcare centers for diabetes follow-up was also associated with a higher quality of life.

Published: August 2023

Objective. In this paper, buildings of various shapes that have high seismic resistance are considered. Such seismic resistance is provided by the rational shape and outlines of the building itself. Here, the influence of the torsion of the building in the plan is minimized, thereby eliminating large stresses at the ends of the designed building. At the same time, the translational movement of the building in the plan is preserved.Method. By optimizing the shape and shape of buildings for various purposes, high efficiency of the structure is ensured under seismic effects. By comparing the shape and outlines of various buildings, the best variant of their layout is selected.Result. Structural schemes of buildings and structures with high resistance to seismic effects are given. A comparative analysis and recommendation for the design of earthquake-resistant buildings are given. Structural schemes for buildings and structures of various outlines have been developed: round, square, rectangular; constructive schemes of volumetric seismic-resistant structures, pyramidal, conical of various shapes, have been drawn up. Recommendations for the design of earthquake-resistant buildings and structures with optimal geometric shapes are made.Conclusion.The design schemes proposed in the article can be used in the design of earthquake-resistant buildings and structures for various purposes.

The Challenge of Decentralization Policy for Television Broadcasting in Indonesia
Authors: Rahayu Rahayu
Published: August 2023

This study aims to explain the challenges in the decentralization of television broadcasting in Indonesia, specifically, the role of political transformation over the last 20 years. Three provinces, i.e., Bali, South Sulawesi, and Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, were selected to represent various broadcasting operation characteristics in Indonesian provinces. Focusing on private television broadcasting, the case study examines the challenge of broadcasting decentralization policies in Indonesia. Data were collected via structured interviews involving 37 informants with a good understanding of local television broadcasting. The interviews were conducted in March, April, and July 2017. Meanwhile, secondary data in the form of relevant documents were analyzed using a desk study. Data were collected in two stages: May-September 2018 and November 2020-March 2021. These steps follow the current policy development on broadcasting decentralization. The findings indicate that decentralization faces challenges and that the policy has been tainted by media conglomerates’ economic interests and the central government’s recentralization politics. The economic interests were apparent in the fabrication of capital ownership and the centralization of business management and broadcast program production. The recentralization interests were noticeable through the operation license mechanism in the regions. In sum, Indonesia’s decentralization policy faces perpetual challenges from the surge of capitalization and the centralization of governance.

A Critique of the Computer-Based English Speaking Test in Fujian (CEST-FJ)
Authors: Li Wanqing
Published: August 2023

This essay applies Bachman and Palmer’s (1996) Test Usefulness Framework to scrutinize the reliability, construct validity, and impact of the Computer-based English Speaking Test in Fujian (CEST-FJ). The CEST-FJ’s inclusion in the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) represents a positive step towards promoting communicative ability in English language learning in China. The computerized administration and scoring processes enhance the test’s reliability and control over construct-irrelevant variance. However, limitations such as potential variations in difficulty, construct under-representation of communicative competence, challenges for pronunciation assessment in the context of English as an International Language (EIL), and the non-compulsory and low-value nature of the test have been identified. Additionally, the lack of transparency surrounding the CEST-FJ hampers assessment and accountability. This essay emphasizes the need for more theoretical and empirical research to justify or enhance the test in the future, particularly in light of its high-stakes nature and influence on test-takers’ university admissions. Test designers are urged to prioritize transparency and provide more information to facilitate further research and ensure the effectiveness of the CEST-FJ.
Conductas sexuales de riesgo relacionadas con las infecciones de transmisión sexual en una comunidad shuar de Taisha, Ecuador
Authors: Jiménez Brito Doriz , Sanhueza-Alvarado Olivia
Published: August 2023

Objetivo: Describir conductas sexuales de riesgo relacionadas con las infecciones de transmisión sexual (ITS) en una comunidad shuar de Taisha, Ecuador. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo-transversal, con base en la teoría transcultural de Leininger. Participaron 215 adultos de ambos sexos, mayores de 18 años. Se utilizó un cuestionario validado por expertos, con método Delphi. El análisis relacional usó la prueba de X 2. Resultados: De la muestra, 153 mujeres y 62 hombres, el 99.1 % se identificó como heterosexual; 79.1 % indicó que su actividad sexual se inició en la preadolescencia, siendo lo más frecuente de tipo genital; 16.3 % reveló haber presentado alguna vez una ITS; 29.3 % ha tenido relaciones sexuales bajo efecto del alcohol o sustancias afrodisíacas, de los que 6 % indicó utilizar preservativo. El 60 % respondió que no lo usa porque no sabe cómo y por sentir menos placer; 36.7 % refirió tener relaciones sexuales fortuitas y, en ellas, 73 % sin usar preservativo. No hubo asociación significativa entre las conductas sexuales y la edad de las personas. Conclusión: El escaso uso de preservativo, relaciones sexuales fortuitas sin protección, inicio temprano y actividad sexual bajo efecto alcohol o sustancias afrodisíacas resultaron ser prácticas de riesgo para contraer una infección de transmisión sexual en esta comunidad indígena. Se necesita tender puentes, desde el sistema de salud hasta las comunidades, para implementar programas de prevención, diagnóstico y tratamiento en estadios tempranos para detección, educación, apoyo y control. El modelo de enfermería transcultural y el trabajo interdisciplinario permiten conocer los principios, valores y cosmovisión de los integrantes de la comunidad.
A experiência do ferroviarismo e a ferrovia Mossoró,RN-Sousa,PB
Authors: Barreto Filho Boanerges  de Freitas
Published: August 2023

O modal ferroviário desempenhou papel importante na exploração econômica e na integração dos mercados, funcionando como vetor de aceleração do processo de acumulação de capital. O pressente trabalho tem como objetivo discutir a experiência do ferroviarismo, com ênfase para a implantação e funcionamento da Ferrovia Mossoró,RN-Sousa,PB na primeira metade do século XX. A implantação da referida ferrovia foi justificada pela ocorrência das secas, muito embora, ela tenha sido largamente utilizada para o escoamento do sal e de outras commodities, bem como para o transporte de passageiros. A partir da década de 1950, a opção governamental, por priorizar o transporte rodoviário, tornou inviável a continuidade das operações da Ferrovia Mossoró,RN-Sousa,PB.
Entre ser "bravio" e trabalhador: os indígenas do Planalto da Conquista e a política indigenista imperial
Authors: Oliveira Renata Ferreira de
Published: August 2023

O presente texto aborda a questão indígena no Império brasileiro e a política indigenista a partir da ótica assimilacionista. Para pensar essa questão, delineamos as formas e tentativas de inserção dos indígenas ao Estado Imperial como “braços úteis”. Vários projetos de integração nacional para eles foram pensados, porém destacaremos os Apontamentos para a Civilização dos Índios Bravios, redigido por José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva e procuramos discutir como esse texto impactou a legislação indigenista durante todo o Império brasileiro. Para compreendermos a dinâmica do Estado que surgia, e a necessidade do trabalho indígena, é preciso dimensionar a ideia fortemente circulada acerca da escassez de mão de obra em decorrência da pressão inglesa pela abolição do trafico de africanos. Com a finalidade de solucionar a crise de mão de obra, a nova catequese, inaugurada a partir do Decreto 426 de 1845, objetivava transformar os indígenas primeiro em trabalhadores, depois em cristãos, mas não em cidadãos.

O artigo busca investigar a trajetória política de Cipriano Barata no período compreendido entre a adesão da Bahia às Cortes de Lisboa, em 10 de fevereiro de 1821, até setembro de 1822, quando ele fez a sua última intervenção na Assembleia Constituinte em Portugal. Ao analisar os seus discursos nas Cortes Portuguesas (1821-1822), busquei delinear como o deputado baiano transitou da defesa da unidade do Império Luso-brasileiro ao apoio à Independência do Brasil, defendendo a descentralização política e a autonomia provincial.
O Rio Grande do Norte, a Independência do Brasil e o "fantasma" do federalismo
Authors: Santos Rosenilson da Silva
Published: August 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é investigar a relação entre o processo de Independência do Brasil e a Província do Rio Grande do Norte, considerando a história e a historiografia sobre o tema, o contexto e as reações locais à notícia da Aclamação e os indícios da aproximação entre Francisco de Brito Guerra, único Deputado Geral da referida província, e os federalistas de Pernambuco. Com base nessas premissas, nossas problemáticas giram em torno das seguintes questões: como as comemorações da Independência, sobretudo as do sesquicentenário, no Rio Grande do Norte, estão intimamente ligadas à produção da historiografia local sobre o tema? Como o processo de Independência, em si, aprofundou questões importantes, a exemplo das disputas territoriais interprovinciais? E, por fim, que outros projetos e sonhos podem ser vislumbrados na primeira década do Brasil Independente, em especial aqueles ligados aos ideais federalistas? Para responder a essas questões, mobilizamos, além da bibliografia, um conjunto de fontes de múltiplas facetas, formado pela legislação do Império, por jornais e pela Revista do IHGRN, que nos dão possibilidades de responder às problemáticas acima apontadas na forma do texto que se segue.

As rodas de conversa, estratégia de diagnóstico utilizadas no estudo, mostraram-se espaço apropriado para orientações e ações em saúde junto a esse público. Conclusão: O apoio e as capacitações às mães de bebês com cardiopatia são essenciais tendo em vista que minimizam estressores relacionados ao ambiente hospitalar e anseios maternos sobre o desenvolvimento do bebê após a alta. Além disso, essas ações podem auxiliar na inserção da mãe como peça fundamental no cuidado e tratamento do filho, baseando o cuidado na vinculação e afeto, mesmo em ambiente hospitalar, influenciando positivamente na melhoria da qualidade de vida materna.
Corporate social responsibility political interaction strategy: A case study
Authors: Wedayanti Made Devi , Pulungan Boby Indra
Published: August 2023

This research analyzes the corporate social responsibility (CSR) and political interaction strategy used by PT. Indah Kiat Pulp & Paper Tbk (IKPP) in Riau Province, Indonesia. The theory used in this study is that of den Hond et al. (2014), who introduced six CSR political interaction strategies: a) information and messages, b) financial incentives, c) constituency building, d) legal strategy, e) substitute policy, and f) fragmentation and destabilization of opponents. This is a qualitative study with data collected through interviews and the annual reports on the stock exchange of Indonesian companies. Using cluster analysis, this study investigates the degree of correlation between political actors and companies. Furthermore, the NVivo 12 software strengthened the actors built into the CSR political interaction strategy. Results showed that the constituency development strategy is the strongest of the five other political interactions. A constituency-building strategy implies that companies seek to build relationships with multiple stakeholders when addressing political issues. Building relationships with the community, policymakers, and key opinion leaders while engaging with the media is the company’s political interaction strategy for constituency development. Findings also reveal that of the four constituency development strategies in this company, interaction with the community was the strongest relationship built to support political interaction and CSR.

Political dynasties can be interpreted as the distribution of power based on familisme. The phenomenon of this political dynasty was often found in the era of regional autonomy. The enactment of regional autonomy is utilized by political elites to strengthen their power in the region. The phenomenon of this political dynasty certainly has a negative impact on the sustainability of democracy in Indonesia. To conduct this research, the authors used a qualitative literary research method by reviewing literature related to regional autonomy, democracy and political dynasties. Data collection techniques using documentation techniques. Then the data is analyzed through three stages, namely data condensation, data display and conclusion. Based on the research conducted, it was found that the number of political dynasties that occurred in the era of regional autonomy was increasing. What's more, the practice of political dynasties also has a negative impact on the sustainability of democracy. Because political dynasties lead to stagnation of leadership in just one group. In addition, political dynasties also tend to lead to the emergence of corruption dynasties.
A Novel Approach for SAR Target Detection Based on Unsupervised Complex-Valued Extreme Learning Machine
Authors: Hua Qinglong , Zhang Yun , Jiang Yicheng
Published: August 2023

Strong clutter seriously affects target-of-interest detection in
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. This letter proposes an
unsupervised target detection method (U-TDM) based on a complex-valued
extreme learning machine (CV-ELM), the essence of which is to transform
the problem of target detection into a pixel binary classification
problem. The SAR image is first divided into several unlabeled patches,
and fuzzy c-means (FCM) is used to construct the reference target patch
set and the clutter patch set. Based on these two patch sets, CV-ELM is
used to classify the neighboring patch of the pixel to be detected.
Since the pixel intensity and distribution of target-of-interest and
clutter are different, unsupervised pixel classification could be
realized without ground-truth through U-TDM. Experimental results on
GF-3 data and Sentinel-1 data show the efficiency of the proposed method
in target detection with a heterogeneous clutter environment.
Nuclear energy sector and cooperation with Russia on the path to energy transition in Serbia
Authors: Stojanovic Bogdan
Published: August 2023

The paper explores the scope and limitations of nuclear energy in general and
the suitability of a nuclear power plant in the necessary energy transition
of the Republic of Serbia. Energy cooperation between Serbia and Russia
already exists in the fossil fuel sector, where Russia?s strength is
unmatched globally. As the largest supplier of gas and oil to European
countries, Russia uses the power of its resources for foreign policy
purposes, so even the current war in Ukraine has not stopped the gas supply
to the European Union. The author analyzes the potency of ROSATOM as the
world?s largest exporter of nuclear technology and the possibilities for
Serbia to use the strategic partnership with Russia for the arrangement of
the construction of a nuclear power plant. The work is based on a realistic
theoretical setting of international relations. The main hypothesis is that,
on the path of the energy transition, Serbia must gradually reduce its
dependence on coal-fired thermal power plants, which are inefficient and
enormous environmental polluters. The best solution is the construction of a
nuclear power plant based on Russian technology. Serbia has already taken
steps to improve cooperation with Russia in the nuclear field through
several signed agreements from 2018 to 2022. This serves as a solid starting
point for the repeal of the law forbidding the construction of nuclear power
plants and entering into an arrangement for the construction of such a plant
on the territory of the Republic of Serbia.

Whistleblowing Research: Experimental Method Choices from Accounting and Management
Authors: Dias Maragno Lucas Martins , Skousen Christopher J. , Borba José Alonso
Published: August 2023

This paper reviews whistleblowing experimental research in accounting and management and provides methodological guidance to new scholars. Based on a sample of 49 experimental papers, we summarized key issues, such as research design, task, dependent variable, and subject selection. Overall, we find that journals classified as accounting are more concentrated in experimental research and management journals are more diverse in terms of methodologies. Thus, whistleblowing experimental research from both areas is largely characterized by vignette-based studies. Accounting articles focused primarily on misappropriation of assets and fraudulent financial reporting, whereas management articles focused more broadly on unethical behavior. Also, some articles controlled for social desirability bias on the dependent variable. Finally, there is a predominance of the use of M.B.A. and postgraduate students in accounting studies and undergraduate studies in management. This paper is intended to further our understanding of experimental design choices and facilitate future research in this emerging field.
A Qualitative Review of Fraud Surrounding COVID-19 Relief Programs
Authors: Festa Mackenzie M. , Jones Megan M. , Knotts Kevin G.
Published: August 2023

In this paper, we profile coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) relief program frauds and agencies tasked with investigating those related crimes. Using a unique dataset of Department of Justice (DOJ) press releases from March 2020 to February 2022 relating to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Securities (CARES) Act, we qualitatively examine characteristics (e.g., wrongdoing, perpetrators, organizations affected, and collusions versus single actors) of approximately $2.6 billion of alleged fraud across the various relief programs. The most egregious fraud cases involved the abuse of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and/or multiple CARES Act relief programs. Although there is some collusive fraud, most cases list only a single defendant. Lastly, we provide evidence suggesting a high degree of collaboration across agencies in the investigative process. These results also can help practitioners and academics better understand fraudulent activities of federal programs.

Goodwill Impairment after M&A: Acquisition-Level Evidence
Authors: Potepa James , Thomas Jacob
Published: August 2023

To provide a fuller picture of compliance with ASC 350-20, we hand-collect data to track 893 large acquisitions across time. Our model, which links impairments to post-acquisition accounting and market performance declines as well as acquisition-year attributes, identifies 349 acquisitions as likely to impair. We provide evidence that 65 percent of these at-risk acquisitions impair in the next two years. Our study should be useful to future research as it clarifies the role of hand-collection, market to book ratios, segment-level data, and volatility. We also offer descriptive evidence on impairment patterns. Overall, we find high levels of compliance and little opportunism.
La pareja pedagógica como experiencia desde la práctica para el desarrollo de desempeños colaborativos orientados a la coenseñanza
Authors: Pérez Carrillo David , Álvarez Aranda Nelly , Jiménez Vivas Amparo
Published: August 2023

El trabajo colaborativo es uno de los desafíos que se instala al interior de la Formación Inicial Docente a partir de las actualizaciones que ha sufrido la política pública en Chile. Para dicho propósito, el presente artículo sistematiza los resultados de un proyecto de investigación que recurrió al dispositivo pareja pedagógica a fin de promover el desarrollo de desempeños colaborativos que tributen en los procesos de identidad docente, en estudiantes que cursaron práctica profesional en las carreras de Pedagogía en Educación Diferencial e Historia y Geografía. Para ello, se analizaron sus respuestas a partir de dos instrumentos aplicados al inicio y al final de su práctica en dupla, concluyéndose que la pareja pedagógica favorece el desarrollo de procesos identitarios de carácter colaborativo, expresados en un reconocimiento del otro como un modelo a seguir; como una experiencia que amplía el conocimiento didáctico y pedagógico, y como una experiencia que permite generar mayores seguridades en el ejercicio de la profesión. Por otra parte, los resultados reclaman mayores instancias para la reflexibilidad que se orienten a desmantelar posiciones de poder de los profesores de enseñanza regular sobre los profesores especialistas, posturas que se constituyen en obstaculizadores para la profundización de prácticas pedagógicas colaborativas e inclusivas.
Creencias y redes sociales: la reinvención de lo popular en las narrativas digitales
Authors: Aguirre Aguilar Genaro
Published: August 2023

Roland Barthes (2019) sostuvo que el mito podía entenderse como un habla que observa ciertas condiciones que permiten constituirse en mito. Con esto, ¿es posible que los medios digitales estén favoreciendo formas narrativas donde mitos propios de la cultura popular latinoamericana cobren vigencia? Esta pregunta encuentra punto de inflexión en una investigación en curso sobre mitos, leyendas y nuevas espiritualidades en las mentalidades de América Latina, para la cual se analizan narrativas construidas cotidianamente en tres redes sociales y un canal de video. Siguiendo a Barthes, en ese estudio el habla es un dispositivo comunicativo que reúne condiciones para construir mitos, siendo que un mito “constituye un sistema de comunicación”; por lo tanto, los medios digitales favorecen formas de habla que narran leyendas y recrean mitos anidados en el imaginario de América Latina. Sin hablar de resultados aún, este artículo analiza algunas narrativas difundidas en redes sociales que permiten reconocer en ellas el cultivo de creencias que deambulan entre la racionalidad, lo emocional y el pensamiento mágico; prácticas que inciden en algunos fenómenos mediáticos propios de un ethos que hoy define lo popular.
”Un sentimiento general del mundo”: El Encuentro de la Canción Protesta, cosmopolitanismo cubano y la música como arma revolucionaria (1967-1970)
Authors: Hermosilla Matías
Published: August 2023

Esta investigación analiza el proyecto del gobierno cubano por consolidar globalmente una influencia cosmopolita en el primer y el tercer mundo, utilizando la música popular, particularmente de protesta, como una herramienta de difusión de ideas políticas y sociales. A través de su institución cultural, Casa de las Américas, en 1967, se organizó “El Encuentro de la Canción Protesta”, un encuentro mundial en Cuba con músicos de Asia, Estados Unidos, América Latina, Europa y África. Este evento tuvo como objetivo impulsar a los músicos que asistieron al Encuentro a definir el potencial revolucionario de la música popular. Después de esta reunión internacional, se propusieron crear un repertorio, es decir, un conjunto de canciones que se intercambiaron, aprendieron y tradujeron a una variedad de idiomas, pero que conservaron sus sonoridades de origen folclórico. Este evento consolidó un mercado global de música de izquierda y, también, configuró una red de solidaridad de músicos que defendían el rol de música popular como un arma revolucionaria.
Norges seier over Canada i konkurransen om en plass i FNs sikkerhetsråd handlet om tillit
Authors: Espevik Hanna
Published: August 2023

At småstaten Norge vant over stormakten Canada i kampen om en plass i Sikkerhetsrådet, overrasket flere observatører. Denne artikkelen argumenterer for at et tidlig annonsert kandidatur, stabil deltagelse fra høyt politisk hold og fokus på personlige relasjoner mellom landene for å oppnå tillit, var særlige viktige faktorer i 2020-utfallet av valget til Sikkerhetsrådet for Vest-gruppen. Det argumenteres særlig for at disse faktorene bunner i et spørsmål om tillit mellom stater, som til slutt resulterer i om landet stemmer på dem eller ikke. Dette gjør at å oppnå tillit bør anses som en egen logikk i internasjonale kampanjer fremover – både strategisk, for fremtidige kampanjer, og akademisk, med tanke på fremtidige analyser. Datamaterialet er innhentet gjennom dokumentanalyse, feltarbeid og eliteintervjuer av 25 informanter innenfor og utenfor FN.
Abstract in English:Norway’s Victory over Canada in the Competition for a Place in the UN Security Council Was About TrustThe surprise victory of the small state of Norway over the major power of Canada in the competition for a seat in the Security Council caught the attention of several observers. This article argues that an early announced candidacy, consistent high-level political engagement, and a focus on building personal relationships between the countries to establish trust were particularly crucial factors in shaping the outcome of the 2020 election for the Western Group’s seat in the Security Council. It is specifically argued that these factors are rooted in a question of trust among states, which ultimately determines whether a country votes for them or not. This highlights the significance of prioritizing trust-building as a distinct logic in future international campaigns – both strategically for upcoming campaigns and academically for future analyses. The data for this study was collected through document analysis, fieldwork, and elite interviews with 25 informants within and outside of the United Nations.
«Kvinner, fred og sikkerhet» i FNs sikkerhetsråd: Norsk innsats og statusbygging
Authors: Tryggestad Torunn L.
Published: August 2023

Da Norge gikk ut av Sikkerhetsrådet 31. desember 2022, hadde landet lagt bak seg to år med det som av observatører blir beskrevet som en «diplomatisk bragd». Til tross for pandemi og et svært vanskelig samarbeidsklima mellom vetomaktene, klarte Norge sammen med andre valgte medlemmer å bygge allianser, forhandle og manøvrere. Norge gjorde seg særlig bemerket i FN-miljøet i New York med å iverksette en rekke tiltak for å styrke Sikkerhetsrådets arbeid på temaområdet «kvinner, fred og sikkerhet» (KFS). Gjennom systematisk og målrettet arbeid bidro blant annet Norge til å øke andelen kvinner som holder orienteringer for Sikkerhetsrådet, og å styrke operasjonaliseringen av tidligere forpliktelser på kvinners rettigheter og deltakelse i FNs operative virksomhet. Denne arbeidsmetodikken bidro ikke bare til å effektivisere Sikkerhetsrådets arbeid med KFS, men også til å styrke Norges internasjonale status som foregangsland på dette temaområdet.
Abstract in English:“Women, Peace and Security” in the UN Security Council:Norwegian Efforts and Status-buildingWhen Norway left the UN Security Council on 31 December 2022, observers described Norway’s two years on the Council as a “diplomatic feat”. Despite the pandemic and a very hostile diplomatic climate between the veto powers, Norway, together with other elected members, managed to build alliances, negotiate and maneuver. Within the UN system and in the diplomatic community in New York, Norway was acknowledged in particular for initiating a number of measures to strengthen the UN Security Council’s work on “Women, Peace and Security” (WPS). By working systematically and targeted, Norway contributed, among other things, to increasing the number of women briefers to the Council, and to strengthening the operationalization of previous commitments on WPS in the UN’s operational activities. Not only did the Norwegian way of operating help streamline the UN Security Council’s work on WPS, it also contributed to strengthen Norway’s international status as a leading country in this thematic area.
Inntrykk fra FNs sikkerhetsråd da Russland gikk til fullskala angrepskrig
Authors: Juul Mona
Published: August 2023

Norges FN-ambassadør Mona Juul reflekterer i denne artikkelen om arbeidet i Sikkerhetsrådet sett fra innsiden etter at Russland startet sin fullskala angrepskrig mot Ukraina 24. februar 2022. Den brutale og folkerettsstridige krigshandlingen av en vetomakt i FNs sikkerhetsråd mot et suverent naboland er det mest alvorlige som har skjedd på europeisk jord siden den andre verdenskrig. Krigen, som ble dimensjonerende for Norges femte medlemskap i FNs sikkerhetsråd i 2021–2022, fikk også konsekvenser for samarbeidet og dynamikken mellom sikkerhetsrådsmedlemmene. Det var en overhengende fare for at Sikkerhetsrådet ville bli så splittet at det ikke lenger ville ivareta sine grunnleggende funksjoner. Ambassadør Juul gir et innsideblikk på hva Norge gjorde i denne situasjonen etter det sikkerhetspolitiske tidsskillet, hvilket handlingsrom som fantes, og hvordan Norge bidro til at Sikkerhetsrådet, tross økt splittelse, klarte å fatte vedtak på flere viktige saksområder.
Abstract in English:Impressions from the UN Security Council When Russia Initiated its Full-scale WarIn this article, Norway’s ambassador to the United Nations, Mona Juul, reflects on the work of the Security Council after Russia started its full-scale war on Ukraine 24 February 2022. This brutal and illegal war by a Security Council veto power against a sovereign neighbouring country is the most serious act of aggression on European soil since World War II. Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine, the black swan of Norway’s fifth membership period of the UN Security Council in 2021–2022, severely influenced the cooperation and dynamics among the Council members. There was a clear and present danger that the Council would be so polarised that its ability to fulfil its mandate of maintaining international peace and security would be jeopardised. Ambassador Juul provides an inside view on Norway’s diplomacy after this geopolitical watershed moment: Was there any room for manoeuvring, and how did Norway, given the increased polarisation, contribute to keeping the Security Council functional as a decision-making body in several important files and dossiers?

Produksi fungi mikoriza arbuskular sangat dipengaruhi oleh media tanam dan tanaman inang. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan volume media tanam dan jumlah tanaman inang yang terbaik untuk memproduksi spora fungi mikoriza arbuskular (FMA). Penelitian menggunakan rancangan faktorial 5x 5 dengan faktor pertama volume media tanam yang terdiri dari 200 ml, 400 ml, 600 ml, 800 ml, dan 1000 ml. Sedangkan faktor ke dua adalah jumlah tanaman inang per pot yang terdiri dari 1, 2, 3, 4, dan 5 tanaman. Setiap perlakuan diulang sebanyak 4 kali. Media tanam yang digunakan adalah campuran pasir sungai steril dengan zeolite dengan perbandingan 1: 1 berdasarkan volume dan tanaman inang yang digunakan adalah Pueraria javanica. Tanaman inang dipelihara di rumah kaca hingga 4 bulan kemudian dikeringkan (tanpa disiram selama 2 minggu) untuk memicu produksi spora. Data hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa volume media tanam yang paling sesuai untuk memproduksi spora FMA adalah 400 ml dengan jumlah tanaman inang sebanyak 5 tanaman. Dari perlakuan ini diperoleh jumlah spora terbanyak dibandingkan perlakuan lainnya.
