Investor behavior under the Covid-19 pandemic: the case of Indonesia
Authors: Swandari Budiarso Novi , Wahab Hasyim Abdul , Soleman Rusman , Zam Zam Irfan , Pontoh Winston
Published: October 2020

This study begins with the assumption that the existence of abnormal circumstances will force investors to take measures to protect their investments in the capital market. Recently, the stock index in the Indonesian market has been declining and continued to fall until the end of April 2020 due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. In terms of efficient market theory, prospect theory and signaling theory, this study aims to analyze the relationship between risk and return in the Indonesian capital market during the Covid-19 pandemic as a manifestation of investor behavior. To test hypotheses, the correlation test, the independent sample t-test and the Cohen test for 629 public firms with 52,836 observable data are used. The findings show that for financial sectors and non-financial sectors, the fourth period differs from previous periods when the relationship between systematic risk and stock returns is positive, although only non-financial sectors have a significant effect. The results show that efficient market theory, prospect theory and signaling theory are consistent with the phenomena around the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. In addition, Cohen’s test results suggest that government policies in the face of the pandemic are successful in stimulating the market.
Therapeutic Potential of Non-Coding RNAs and TLR Signalling Pathways in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: Liu Jingjing , Wang Xiaoxu , Wang Shufeng , Liu Fengxia
Published: October 2020

Background:

Background: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a common connective tissue disease, characteristic
of chronic and invasive synovitis in single or multiple joints and vasculitis. RA is a heterogeneous
disease with unclear pathogenesis. Therefore, exploring the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease is
essential for identifying new promising treatment strategies for RA. Accumulated data have implicated
the significant role of non-coding RNA in RA, some of which are demonstrated to regulate inflammation
and autoimmunity in RA through the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling pathway. To clarify the
mechanism of non-coding RNA regulating the generation of proinflammatory mediators is helpful for
understanding the pathogenesis of RA. Moreover, these well established non-coding RNAs can serve
as novel biotargets for RA diagnosis and treatment.

Conclusion:

Here, we summarize currently available data on non-coding RNAs, TLRs, and the underlying molecular mechanisms in RA. This review will provide insight into the potential use of non-coding RNA as disease diagnosis and treatment
markers for RA.
Herbal Medicine in the Treatment of Epilepsy
Authors: Aghdash Simin Namvar
Published: October 2020

Epilepsy is one of the most common disorders of the central nervous system. Although
epilepsy is common worldwide, approximately 80% of epileptic patients live in the developing
countries or those with low-middle income. Up until the second decade of the 20th century, epilepsy
was treated mostly by traditional remedies. Today, antiepileptic drugs are used as a general treatment
instead to prevent and control epileptic seizures. However, patient access to these drugs is hindered
due to the healthcare systems of their countries and a number of other reasons, such as cultural,
socio-demographic, and financial poverty. In addition, approximately 30-40%of epileptic patients
suffer from refractory epilepsy, additionally, AEDs have adverse side-effects that can lead to
treatment failure or reduce the patient’s quality of life. Despite recent advances in the treatment of
epilepsy, there is still a need for improving medical treatment with a particular focus on efficacy,
safety, and accessibility. Since herbal medicines have been used for many centuries around the
world for treating epilepsy, it is, therefore, plausible that a rigorous study on herbal medicine and
phytochemical components within plants of various species and origin may lead to the discovery of
novel AEDs. Nowadays, many medicinal plants used in different cultures and regions of the world
have been identified. Most phytochemical components of these plants have been identified and, in
some cases, their targets located. Therefore, it is possible that new, effective, and accessible anticonvulsants
drugs can be obtained from a medicinal plant.
Closing the Gap: An Atomistic Structural and Functional Perspective of S. mansoni Universal Stress G4LZI3 Protein in Complex with Phenolic Compounds
Authors: Masamba Priscilla , Munsamy Geraldene , Kappo Abidemi Paul
Published: October 2020

Background:

For decades, Praziquantel has been the undisputed drug of choice for all
schistosome infections, but rising concerns due to the unelucidated mechanism of action of the
drug and unavoidable reports of emerging drug resistant strains has necessitated the need for alternative
treatment drug. Moreover, current apprehension has been reinforced by total dependence on
the drug for treatment hence, the search for novel and effective anti-schistosomal drugs.

Methods:

This study made use of bioinformatic tools to determine the structural binding of the Universal
G4LZI3 Stress Protein (USP) in complex with ten polyphenol compounds, thereby highlighting
the effectiveness of these recently identified ‘lead’ molecules in the design of novel therapeutics
targeted against schistosomiasis. Upregulation of the G4LZI3 USP throughout the schistosome
multifaceted developmental cycle sparks interest in its potential role as a druggable target. The integration
of in silico tools provides an atomistic perspective into the binding of potential inhibitors to
target proteins. This study therefore, implemented the use of Molecular Dynamic (MD) simulations
to provide functional and structural insight into key conformational changes upon binding of G4-
ZLI3 to these key phenolic compounds.

Results:

Post-MD analyses revealed unique structural and conformational changes in the G4LZI3
protein in complex with curcumin and catechin respectively. These systems exhibited the highest
binding energies, while the major interacting residues conserved in all the complexes provides a
route map for structure-based drug design of novel compounds with enhanced inhibitory potency
against the G4LZI3 protein.

Conclusion:

This study suggests an alternative approach for the development of anti-schistosomal
drugs using natural compounds.
Immunomodulation in Multiple Sclerosis by Phytotherapy
Authors: Bahrami Maryam , Mosayebi Ghasem , Ghazavi Ali , Ganji Ali
Published: October 2020

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disorder of the central
nervous system (CNS) that can cause cognition, mobility, and sensory impairments. Studies have
shown that the immune system through inflammation and autoreactive T cells are involved in the
progression of MS. The present article aimed to review the potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant,
and immunomodulatory agents that could modulate the immune response in MS. In herbal
medicine, various medicinal plants including Olive, Silybum marianum, Grape, Pomegranate peel
extract, Nigella sativa, Turmeric, Green tea, Aloysia citrodora, Boswellia papyrifera, Boswellia serrata,
Ruta graveolens, and Andrographis paniculata are known with therapeutic benefits in MS patients
through immunoregulation and reduction of major symptoms.
Recent Techniques Used in Reproductive Medicine: Outcomes for Gametes Manipulation
Authors: Ghafarzadeh Masoumeh
Published: October 2020

Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) have significantly improved the chances of
pregnancy. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) remains the most widely used ART procedure, which involves
a series of steps like ovarian hyperstimulation followed by vaginal oocyte retrieval and in
vitro fertilization of the oocytes with sperm, the culture of the embryos, and the final transfer of the
embryo to the recipient or surrogate recipient. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), another
form of ART, is developed to circumvent the problems encountered in IVF. However, the studies
have indicated that only about one-third of ART cycles result in live births. This review is designed
to provide a comprehensive idea about advances in reproductive medicine in terms of the preparation
of gametes and implantation.
Beyond Powder Kegs and Crystal Balls: Finding Meaning in the Appellate Body’s Interpretation of WTO Law
Authors: Plamenov Delev Christian
Published: October 2020

This article seeks to establish the interpretative methodology used by the WTO Appellate Body and panels in deciding cases. The modern WTO dispute settlement system has been the subject of great criticism, including allegations of judicial activism and use of judicial precedent. These perspectives are founded upon a false theoretical dichotomy, whereby the WTO system is viewed either as a global constitutional system or, alternatively, that its rules are subsidiary to a host of other values and norms, including environmental protection, human rights and national regulatory choice. First, the modifications in institutional architecture under the dispute settlement system are traced and discussed. This includes an analysis of treaty changes, the organisation and structure of panels and the adoption of reports. Subsequently, an analysis of WTO/GATT jurisprudence is made to ascertain the various legal sources used, the normative hierarchy established, the application of VCLT provisions and other rules of treaty interpretation, the use of evolutionary interpretation and the significance of special rules. This Section relies on case law and academic literature. Finally, the question of the fragmentation of international law is addressed with respect to treaty interpretation. This Section analyses legal pluralist arguments, particularly by Weiler, Fischer-Lescano and Teubner and establishes legitimate responses to their arguments. Moreover, certain similarities are established with other international courts and tribunals.
The Ramifications of Reservations to Human Rights Treaties
Authors: Mullins Lara
Published: October 2020

This paper discusses the legal ramifications of reservations to multilateral human rights treaties. It examines the approach of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), compared to that of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), in light of the general practice in international law relating to reservations and the International Law Commission’s commentary. The paper then discusses the scope for change and growth, given the nature of the two different approaches. Once it has set out the current law it describes the role of the evolving moral, social and political climate in society and the effect that it has on the conversation around human rights and treaty reservations. It answers three main questions around reservations: first, whether reservations are allowed; second, the conditions under which they are allowed; and third, if reservations are not allowed, whether the invalid reservation cancels a party’s membership of the treaty. Having answered these three questions, the paper draws to the conclusion that, ultimately, for international law to continue to be effective, state sovereignty must be given the utmost respect and importance in relation to reservations. With the current polarisation of the political climate, as is evidenced by the traditionally liberal states’ leaning towards conservative values, as in Britain and the United States, a push by the ECtHR to sever reservations from treaties and still bind the state will only alienate key players from the international stage. At face value, one may be inclined to think that the stringent protection of human rights values and limiting the reservations to such values is beneficial but, in reality, this would make participation in the international framework unappealing to states as their sovereignty would be infringed. Therefore, the ICJ’s approach is advantageous as it understands the role of reservations in achieving participation and it also understands the state practice element. Thus, in line with the ILC commentary and the ICJ’s judgements, the ECtHR’s recent rulings will not become the international law norm and state sovereignty with respect to reservations will continue to prevail.
Revisiting the Legal Framework for Private Military and Security Contractors: Maritime Perspective
Authors: Singh Gautam Vijaya , Mishra Vijay
Published: October 2020

The paper aims to analyse legal lacunas and suggest possible solutions for the acts and wrongdoings of Private Military and Security Companies within the lens of maritime activities. The paper has been divided into three parts. Part I deals with the necessity and role of Private Military and Security Companies in the present times. Part II discusses the legal status of Private Military and Security Companies and ways of ensuring responsibility for their acts. Part III examines the legal framework for the acts of Private Maritime Security Companies. An assessment of the rules of international humanitarian law (IHL), state responsibility, applicability of the Montreux document and efforts such as GUARDCON have been discussed to highlight the inadequacy of the laws on Private Maritime Security Companies. There has been an upsurge in the employment of Private Maritime Security Companies since 2008 to cope with a myriad of problems at sea including piracy and robbery. However, an umbrella of rules including employment procedures, agreements, training techniques, responsibility in peacetime as well as in times of conflict and the guidelines of IHL must be restructured or enhanced in order to be made applicable to Private Maritime Security Companies.
Political Micro-Targeting in Europe: A Panacea for the Citizens’ Political Misinformation or the New Evil for Voting
Authors: Ryabtsev Kirill
Published: October 2020

Personalised interaction between political parties and the electorate has existed since the emergence of modern elections. Nowadays, digital technology has moved the relationship between political candidates and voters to a more advanced level. Through collecting and analysing citizens’ personal data via digital means, politicians have the capacity to foresee the electorate’s political behaviour, its preferences, and the choices it is inclined to make. Such campaign strategy is known as ‘political micro-targeting’, and it has raised great interest in academia. One may consider it a panacea for political misinformation, given that political micro-targeting can increase the population’s participation in politics. Nonetheless, it can be argued that this phenomenon poses a long-term threat to democracy. Accordingly, due to the high engagement with personal data that political micro-targeting entails, the question of its compatibility with citizens’ voting rights arises. This thesis will explore the issue of online political micro-targeting and seek to conduct a comparative analysis between presidential election campaigns in three European states, namely France, Italy and the United Kingdom. Accordingly, current political micro-targeting practices in these legal systems, and how they can influence each other, will be illustrated. An important place will be devoted to the analysis of political micro-targeting’s interference with the electorate’s voting rights and its regulatory framework.

Authors: Cahyanto Bimo Tri , Anis Samsudin
Published: October 2020

The thickness and hardness affect the service life of ST37 steels. The temperature and duration of the coating process affect the hard chrome layer's thickness and hardness. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of temperature and coating duration of the ST37 steel plate using the hard chrome coating method on the thickness and hardness of the coating. This research is an experimental study in which the treatment used is the temperature and duration of the metal plating process with hard chrome. The temperatures used were 45 °C, 50 °C, and 55 °C, and the coating time was 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes. After the hard chrome plating process is complete, the thickness and hardness of each specimen were tested. This research uses descriptive analysis. The results obtained from the thickness test are the highest average layer thickness of 8.9 µm at 45 °C, 9.1 µm at 50 °C, and 9.2 µm at 55 °C, respectively. The coating hardness test result shows an average value of 323.28 VHN at 45 °C, 333.01 VHN at 50 °C, and 466.51 VHN at 55° C, respectively. It can be concluded that the duration of the metal plating process with the controlled temperatures proportionally affects the thickness and hardness of the coating.Ketebalan dan kekerasan berpengaruh terhadap masa pakai logam baja ST37.

Authors: Atho’ullah A Hasan , Yudiono Heri
Published: October 2020

This study aims to analyze Whitworth thread's fatigue characterization due to dynamic twisting on low carbon steel. The research method uses experiments with pre-experimental design with the form of intact group comparison. The experimental group was specimens with Whitworth thread notch depth of 0.67 mm, 0.81 mm, and 1.16 mm. The control group was Whitworth threads with a notch depth of 0.9 mm. The study used low carbon steel with a carbon content of 0.12% wt. The dynamic torsion testing with a twisting angle of 5 reveals that the deeper the Whitworth thread notch, the lower the fatigue resistance. The fracture surface is visible due to dynamic torsion in the form of initial crack, crack propagation rate, and final crack.Fenomena kegagalan lelah disebabkan oleh pola pembebanan dan bentuk takikan.

Marginalização e violações de direitos dos catadores de resíduos nas ruas de Fortaleza/CE: uma análise dos aspectos sociojurídicos à luz da constituição federal de 1988
Authors: López Matias Mariana , Guimarães Cavalcante Dieric
Published: October 2020

O artigo tem o fito de analisar aspectos atinentes ao processo de marginalização e de violações de direitos sofrido pelos catadores de resíduos não associados nas ruas de Fortaleza/CE, à luz, especialmente, dos objetivos fundamentais da República estabelecidos na Constituição Federal de 1988, bem como traça-se um paralelo com a discussão atinente à tensão existente entre inclusão e exclusão social, advinda da questão social (CASTEL, 1998). O problema da presente pesquisa funda-se na ideia de que, embora perceptível o avanço do ordenamento jurídico pátrio, em termos de dispositivos legais os quais buscam impedir a prática de violações de direitos contra quaisquer grupos, a realidade dos catadores sem vínculo associativo ainda denuncia o inverso do que é, inclusive pela Constituição Federal, perseguido. O trabalho fez-se por meio de pesquisa empírica, de natureza quali-quantitativa e tem como marco teórico a análise, segundo a qual grande parte da população mundial é objeto de discurso dos Direitos Humanos, mas não sujeito deles (BOAVENTURA, 2013).
AS crises institucionais e o esgotamento da democracia liberal
Authors: Pereira Rodrigues Mariana , Vieira da Silva Filho Edson
Published: October 2020

O presente artigo busca analisar, a partir do auxílio teórico de Lenio Streck e de uma metodologia de análise bibliográfica, as crises institucionais da contemporaneidade e a (in)eficácia do modelo normativo vigente que tem comprometido a democracia brasileira e agredido a Constituição Federal de 1988. Desse modo, a pesquisa dedica-se encontrar uma resposta, uma denúncia da fragilidade do sistema como se apresenta e como compromete os desígnios constitucionais, para isso a necessária crítica às estruturas estatais. A análise parte das transformações estatais, sociais e a crise do Estado Moderno que ocorreu no final do século XX e da consolidação da nova ordem constitucional no Brasil fundada pela Constituição Federal de 1988 que constituiu no país o Estado Democrático de Direito. Dentre os vários elementos que comportam as crises institucionais brasileiras, o trabalho restringiu-se sobre algumas de suas causas que encontram-se interligadas: os grupos de poder que valeram-se das mesmas estratégias dos que antecederam, à recepção constitucional do modelo de presidencialismo de coalizão e o protagonismo do judiciário, no qual concluiu-se que tais elementos tem contribuído para as múltiplas crises que afetam as instituições brasileiras gerando frustração popular alimentando o descontentamento às instituições políticas e a descrença na democracia liberal.

Research Participants’ Perspectives on Using an Electronic Portal for Engagement and Data Collection: Focus Group Results From a Large Epidemiologic Cohort
Authors: Rees-Punia Erika , Patel Alpa V , Beckwitt Asher , Leach Corinne R , Gapstur Susan M , Smith Tenbroeck G
Published: October 2020

Background

Epidemiologic cohort studies have begun to leverage electronic research participant portals to facilitate data collection, integrate wearable technologies, lower costs, and engage participants. However, little is known about the acceptability of portal use by research participants.

Objective

The aim of this study is to conduct focus groups among a sample of Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3) participants to better understand their preferences and concerns about research portals.

Methods

CPS-3 participants were stratified based on sex, race and ethnicity, age, and cancer status, and randomly invited to participate. Focus groups used an exploratory case design with semistructured guides to prompt discussion. Using a constant comparison technique, transcripts were assigned codes to identify themes.

Results

Participants (31/59, 52% women; 52/59, 88% White/non-Latinx) were favorably disposed toward using a research participant portal to take surveys, communicate with the study staff, and upload data. Most participants indicated that a portal would be beneficial and convenient but expressed concerns over data safety. Participants stressed the importance of an easy-to-use and trustworthy portal that is compatible with mobile devices.

Conclusions

In addition to being beneficial to researchers, portals may also benefit participants as long as the portals are secure and simple. Participants believe that portals can provide convenient ways to report data and remain connected to the study.
Mindfulness-Based Programs for Patients With Cancer via eHealth and Mobile Health: Systematic Review and Synthesis of Quantitative Research
Authors: Matis Juraj , Svetlak Miroslav , Slezackova Alena , Svoboda Marek , Šumec Rastislav
Published: October 2020

Background

eHealth mindfulness-based programs (eMBPs) are on the rise in complex oncology and palliative care. However, we are still at the beginning of answering the questions of how effective eMBPs are and for whom, and what kinds of delivery modes are the most efficient.

Objective

This systematic review aims to examine the feasibility and efficacy of eMBPs in improving the mental health and well-being of patients with cancer, to describe intervention characteristics and delivery modes of these programs, and to summarize the results of the included studies in terms of moderators, mediators, and predictors of efficacy, adherence, and attrition.

Methods

In total, 4 databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Knowledge) were searched using relevant search terms (eg, mindfulness, program, eHealth, neoplasm) and their variations. No restrictions were imposed on language or publication type. The results of the efficacy of eMBPs were synthesized through the summarizing effect estimates method.

Results

A total of 29 published papers describing 24 original studies were included in this review. In general, the results indicate that eMBPs have the potential to reduce the levels of stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep problems, and pain, and improve the levels of mindfulness, posttraumatic growth, and some parameters of general health. The largest median of Cohen d effect sizes were observed in reducing anxiety and depression (within-subject: median −0.38, IQR −0.62 to −0.27; between-group:
median −0.42, IQR −0.58 to −0.22) and facilitating posttraumatic growth (within-subject: median 0.42, IQR 0.35 to 0.48;
between-group: median 0.32, IQR 0.22 to 0.39). The efficacy of eMBP may be comparable with that of parallel, face-to-face
MBPs in some cases. All studies that evaluated the feasibility of eMBPs reported that they are feasible for patients with cancer.
Potential moderators, mediators, and predictors of the efficacy, attrition, and adherence of eMBPs are discussed.

Conclusions

Although the effects of the reviewed studies were highly heterogeneous, the review provides evidence that eMBPs are an appropriate way for mindfulness practice to be delivered to patients with cancer. Thus far, existing eMBPs have mostly attempted to convert proven face-to-face mindfulness programs to the eHealth mode. They have not yet fully exploited the potential of eHealth technology.

Ethics and Law in Research on Algorithmic and Data-Driven Technology in Mental Health Care: Scoping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Gooding Piers , Kariotis Timothy
Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND

Uncertainty surrounds the ethical and legal implications of algorithmic and data-driven technologies in the mental health context, including technologies characterized as artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and other forms of automation.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to survey empirical scholarly literature on the application of algorithmic and data-driven technologies in mental health initiatives to identify the legal and ethical issues that have been raised.

METHODS

We searched for peer-reviewed empirical studies on the application of algorithmic technologies in mental health care in the Scopus, Embase, and Association for Computing Machinery databases. A total of 1078 relevant peer-reviewed applied studies were identified, which were narrowed to 132 empirical research papers for review based on selection criteria. Conventional content analysis was undertaken to address our aims, and this was supplemented by a keyword-in-context analysis.

RESULTS

We grouped the findings into the following five categories of technology: social media (53/132, 40.1%), smartphones (37/132, 28%), sensing technology (20/132, 15.1%), chatbots (5/132, 3.8%), and miscellaneous (17/132, 12.9%). Most initiatives were directed toward detection and diagnosis. Most papers discussed privacy, mainly in terms of respecting the privacy of research participants. There was relatively little discussion of privacy in this context. A small number of studies discussed ethics directly (10/132, 7.6%) and indirectly (10/132, 7.6%). Legal issues were not substantively discussed in any studies, although some legal issues were discussed in passing (7/132, 5.3%), such as the rights of user subjects and privacy law compliance.

CONCLUSIONS

Ethical and legal issues tend to not be explicitly addressed in empirical studies on algorithmic and data-driven technologies in mental health initiatives. Scholars may have considered ethical or legal matters at the ethics committee or institutional review board stage. If so, this consideration seldom appears in published materials in applied research in any detail. The form itself of peer-reviewed papers that detail applied research in this field may well preclude a substantial focus on ethics and law. Regardless, we identified several concerns, including the near-complete lack of involvement of mental health service users, the scant consideration of algorithmic accountability, and the potential for overmedicalization and techno-solutionism. Most papers were published in the computer science field at the pilot or exploratory stages. Thus, these technologies could be appropriated into practice in rarely acknowledged ways, with serious legal and ethical implications.
Ideology in the Translation of Political Speeches during the Arab-Israeli Conflict: A Critical Discourse Analysis
Authors: Haj Omar Husam
Published: October 2020

Ideology plays a central role in people’s lives and thus in shaping politicians’ decisions and translators’ choices. This role becomes clearer and more active in the context of the Middle East political domain, due to the constant ideological conflict in the region. This paper aims to analyse the translations of political speeches delivered by the Hamas and Hezbollah leaders during two Arab-Israeli conflicts: Lebanon War 2006 and Gaza War 2008/9. These translations often took the form of news reports that included translated excerpts from the speeches. The study suggests that there was a degree of distortion in the translation and editing processes by key English-speaking media outlets. Certain ideological strategies and devices were used by news outlets to manipulate the translation of the messages embedded in the speeches. The study investigates the role of the translator as well as the patron in deciding the outcome of the translation process.

Published: October 2020

Groundwater is the main water source for many areas in Saudi Arabia and the only source of water in some areas. Many local studies have reported that high nitrate concentrations in some wells of groundwater. To provide safe drinking water, the excess amounts of nitrate have to be removed by bio-denitrification process. This study aims to develop a denitrifying biological filter using denitrifying bacteria immobilized on microbial cellulose for the removal of nitrates from water contaminated with nitrate. Denitrifying bacteria that can form biofilter on microbial cellulose were isolated from different regions in Saudi Arabia and were characterized by molecular techniques. They were evaluated for their ability to analyze nitrates and to develop biofilter to remove nitrates from contaminated water. In the results of this project, an optimal microbial cellulose production was achieved by Gluconacetobacter xylinus ATCC 23768 in the lab, which had facilitated the use of biofilter with the immobilized nitrate-reducing bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The reduction rate of nitrate was reached 1.9mg/L from the starting concentration of 100 mg/L after 18h. Promising results of nitrate removal rate on MC immobilized with Pseudomonas aeruginosa on biofilter at optimized lab conditions of pH, and proper carbon source were achieved. The results suggest that water contaminated with nitrate can be removed by the bio-denitrification process effectively.

KERAMIK ASIA TENGGARA DARI SITUS LAMREH, ACEH-INDONESIA
Authors: Husni Amir , Ibrahim Husaini , Marduati  , Saidin Mokhtar
Published: October 2020

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi keramik-keramik Asia Tenggara di situs Lamreh, Aceh-Indonesia. Keramik diperoleh dari hasil survei sistematik yang dilakukan pada tahun 2017. Semua keramik yang ditemukan dianalisis untuk menghasilkan sebuah klasifikasi lengkap keramik Asia Tenggara di situs Lamreh. Oleh karena itu, untuk menjawab permasalahan tersebut maka digunakan dua jenis analisis yaitu analisis morfologi untuk mengetahui jenis, bentuk dan hiasan keramik berdasarkan negara penghasilnya dan analisis perbandingan atau perbandingan relatif untuk menentukan usia keramik. Hasil analisis mendapati keramik-keramik Asia Tenggara di situs Lamreh berasal dari tiga negara yaitu Vietnam, Thailand dan Myanmar. Jenis keramik Vietnam yang ditemukan ialah keramik monokrom putih dengan motif hitam di bawah glasir yang dihasilkan di dapur Thanh-Hoa abad ke-14 Masehi. Kemudian, jenis keramik Thailand yang ditemukan adalah keramik Sukothai dan Si-Satchanalai yang dihasilkan pada abad ke-15 Masehi di utara Thailand. Terakhir adalah kendi hitam Myanmar yang dihasilkan di dapur Martavan pada abad ke-15 Masehi. Keramik-keramik Asia Tenggara dari abad ke-14 sehingga 15 Masehi tersebut adalah bukti nyata tentang kontak kebudayaan dan hubungan ekonomi antara Lamreh-Aceh dengan Asia Tenggara (Vietnam, Thailand dan Myanmar) sejak 700 tahun lalu.
Os Jovens Baumann e o cinema de horror brasileiro contemporâneo: singularidades e diálogos
Authors: Canepa Laura Loguercio
Published: October 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir o filme paulista Os Jovens Baumann, de Bruna Carvalho Almeida. Em meio a um número significativo de filmes de fantasia e horror lançados no Brasil em 2019, nossa escolha deriva do fato de que Os jovens Baumann foi o único a optar pelo estilo conhecido como found footage [filme encontrado]. Além disso, Os Jovens Baumann tem outras singularidades que nos interessam: o fato de tratar-se (em parte) de um filme “de época”, passado durante a década de 1990; o caráter enigmático e fragmentário das imagens em VHS que compõem o núcleo da trama; a narração, em voice over, em primeira pessoa. Buscaremos investigar essas opções temáticas e estilísticas do filme, baseando-nos em observações relativas ao chamado found footage de ficção e ao cinema de horror brasileiro.
A pesquisa de grupos de direita: questões éticas e metodológicas
Authors: Romancini Richard
Published: October 2020

A pesquisa de grupos de direita possui questões éticas e metodológicas próprias, mais complexas quando a investigação ocorre em contexto digital, devido às especificidades do ambiente on-line, bem como se são abordados movimentos extremistas. O objetivo desse artigo é expor e debater alguns pontos críticos desse tipo de investigação, sob as dimensões mencionadas, utilizando como amparo experiências de pesquisa do autor e discussões científicas voltadas à questão da ética e da metodologia de pesquisa em relação a grupos e movimentos de direita, verificadas a partir de revisão da literatura. Duas dimensões principais do tema são discutidas: 1) a relevância dos enquadramentos mais gerais para as investigações, em particular no espaço digital, 2) o acesso aos grupos investigados e a questão do rapport a ser desenvolvido (ou não) com eles.
COMÉRCIO INTERESTADUAL SOB O PRISMA DO MODELO GRAVITACIONAL: O EFEITO FRONTEIRA PARA O BRASIL E SUAS REGIÕES ENTRE OS ANOS DE 1999 E 2008
Authors: Santos Joelson Oliveira , Lourenço André Luis Cabral de
Published: October 2020

O trabalho objetiva mensurar, nos anos de 1999 e 2008, o viés doméstico dos fluxos de comércio em escala nacional (efeito fronteira internacional) e entre as unidades da federação (efeito fronteira intranacional) e avança em relação à literatura ao analisar um novo período, 2008. Esses efeitos foram estimados, utilizando-se dados de corte transversal, em um modelo gravitacional com os 26 estados brasileiros, mais o Distrito Federal e 39 países. Os resultados encontrados indicam que o comércio entre os estados brasileiros, em 2008, era 79,92 vezes maior que o comércio com o exterior, surpreendentemente elevado quando comparado ao observado em 1999, 36,45 vezes maior. A partir das estimativas para os efeitos fronteira regionais não se pode inferir que pertencer a determinada região configura motivo para existência de um comércio mais vigoroso com outros estados a ela pertencentes, portanto as fronteiras estaduais pouco impactariam o padrão de comércio interestadual. Os resultados se mostram consistentes com a estrutura do comércio nacional atrelado principalmente ao mercado doméstico. Os díspares efeitos fronteiras entre as regiões repercutem o padrão diversificado do comércio internacional das várias regiões do país, em particular, o das regiões Sul e Sudeste.

Livestock production often has a crucial role in the overall farm system, especially under unpredictable conditions. In the Czech Republic, cattle farming is stagnating and farmers have to search for additional and alternative sources of income. Diversification strategies often mean that farmers have to find new uses for existing resources (farm buildings, equipment, labor), stepping into the meat processing sector and farm-to-table system or into agritourism. In this paper, we simulate the scenarios representing the potential benefit of diversification into agritourism. The paper adopts the system dynamics approach to model three different sized farms, calibrated with official data. In addition, a management flight simulator is used in an applied case study. In both cases, we evaluate the impact of the agritourism on the economic performance of the farm. In the case study, we also test the scenarios of the impact of coronavirus lockdown. From the long-term perspective, the diversification into agritourism brings the benefit even under the conditions of one season lockdown and improves the economic output of the beef cattle farm more than the farm-to-table strategy.
