Dinamika Kesetaraan Gender di Arab Saudi: Sebuah Harapan Baru di Era Raja Salman
Authors: Dewi Nevy Rusmarina , Fikri Azza Ihsanul , Febriani Afifah
Published: August 2020

Saudi Arabia is one of the Moslem countries in the Middle East which limits women’s rights. These women have limited access to economy, education, as well as politics. 2009 was the milestone for women’s public participation in Saudi Arabia. This research aims to analyze the development of gender equality issue in Saudi Arabia which encourages policy changes in the era of King Salman. Gender is a character owned by someone in accordance with his/her social role based on his/her sex. Gender equality focuses on the equality of social role which is obtained by both men and women. In Koran surah Al- Baqarah article 288, there are two perspectives about women’s position which included normative and contextual aspects. Gender equality in Islamic’s perspective has been recognized in OKI’s Charter article 6. This research uses qualitative method with literature study approach. The result shows that the dynamic of policy changes in Saudi Arabia is influenced by the condition of Saudi’s women socio-cultural itself, the debate of the Ulama about gender equality which proposes Wassatiya’s perspective and Vision 2030 by Mohammad bin Salman as the hope of the implementation of the policy which gives a bigger opportunity for women’s role in public.

Authors: Kasimova R. I. , Musabaeva N. E. , Pulatova R. Z.
Published: August 2020

Purpose: identification of patients with manifest forms of CMVI among PLHIV with neurological manifestations and eye lesions.

Materials and methods: 85 patients with CD4 less than 330 cells were examined who quantified CMV DNA in blood leukocytes. Patients depending on CD4 were divided into 2 groups: group 1 — patients with values of CD4<00 cells (n=42) and group 2 — patients with values of CD4 from 101 to 330 cells (n=43). According to indications, the patient underwent lumbar puncture followed by determination of CMV DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid.

Results and discussion: There were 20 patients in the III clinical stage (23,5%) and 65 (76,5%) in the IV clinical stage. VL CMV among patients with CD4 less than 100 cells was positive in 52,4%, and with CD4 more than 101 cells in 18,6%. VL CMV of less than 1000 copies was detected in 23,8% in patients with CD4 less than 100 cells and in 16,3% in patients with CD4 101–330 cells. The diagnosis of CMV retinitis was made in 6 out of 21 patients (28,6%) with CMV DNA in the blood. CMV DNA in CSF was determined in 3 patients. Half of 42 patients (52,4%) with severe and final stages of cognitive and motor impairment showed a generalized form of CMVI. Physical, clinical and biochemical parameters are not highly informative for determining the generalization of CMVI.

Resumo: Cheguei à casa de D. Zeinha com algumas fotos nas mãos. Queria ouvir o que poderiam me contar. Licinha, sua filha, logo falou: nossa comunidade não tem memória. A prosa foi avançando. Esse aqui é tio Izidoro. Vovó Julia aqui. Emocionada Licinha vai até outro cômodo e volta com uma pasta com mais fotografias. Provoquei: viu só, quanta memória. Ela arrematou: é, a memória estava toda empoeirada na sacola. A experiência a que se propõe esta pesquisa tem lugar no Alto da Bela Vista, em Itaparica (BA) e envolve os moradores do entorno do terreiro Omo Ilê Agboulá e o culto aos ancestrais, Babá-Egùn. A ideia é comtemplar presenças e ausências acionadas por imagens. Eu não alcancei este tempo. Escutei isso repetidas vezes. A frase parece trazer a tona a astúcia das fotografias contra uma razão linear. As potencialidades de associação entre o fazer etnográfico e as narrativas geradas com as fotografias permeiam as reflexões a serem compartilhadas neste artigo. Palavras Chaves: Ancestralidade.

Imaginando el Agujero Negro
Authors: Niño-Rodríguez Nelsy
Published: August 2020

Las imágenes son representaciones, no reproducciones de una realidad; y pueden estar construidas desde fuentes sensoriales distintas a la visual. El 10 de abril del 2019 se hizo pública la primera imagen de un agujero negro. Esta imagen fue un suceso histórico, y conmocionó a científicos y a un público general. Los agujeros negros son un ejemplo de lo imaginable; residían en nuestras cabezas porque algunas ecuaciones habían hecho posibles teorizarlos y probarlos. No contábamos con una imagen visual de los agujeros negros, era una imagen evocada, no una materializada. La imagen del agujero negro condensa el tránsito del tiempo (o la ausencia de él) al ser un objeto universal. Por esta razón, utilizo a la imagen del agujero negro como una excusa, un pretexto, pero no parto de ella, ni hablo con y para ella. La imagen del agujero negro al igual que muchas otras imágenes, hacen que me cuestione sobre la posibilidad de un tránsito hacia otras formas de representación de las imágenes con la misma potencia que tienen las imágenes visuales.

Descolonizar el Archivo y el Museo: Imágenes intervenidas y museología social con los pueblos Inga, Kamëntsá y Arhuaco (Colombia)
Authors: Pérez Benavides Amada Carolina
Published: August 2020

Resumen: A finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del siglo XX las comunidades indígenas en diferentes países de América Latina enfrentaron una nueva arremetida que pretendía transformarlos y apoderarse de sus tierras y sus recursos. Buena parte de los estados nacionales, recientemente creados, establecieron convenios con los misioneros católicos con el objetivo de civilizar a los indígenas. Durante las décadas que estuvieron a cargo de las misiones, los frailes de diferentes órdenes religiosas produjeron una serie de registros visuales y escritos que componen una amplia documentación. Algunos de tales registros se encuentran actualmente en archivos nacionales e internacionales, y, en términos generales, las comunidades indígenas no han tenido acceso a ellos. El presente artículo da cuenta de una experiencia de investigación colaborativa en la que las imágenes del archivo misional son intervenidas por parte de diferentes personas de los pueblos inga y kamëntsá del Valle del Sibundoy y arhuaco de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (Colombia) y resignificadas para la elaboración de una exposición museal. Palabras clave: Misiones católicas.

Most of the national states, recently created, established agreements with Catholic missionaries for the purpose of civilizing indigenous peoples. During the decades that they were in charge of the missions, the frails of different religious orders produced a series of visual and written records that compose a broad documentation. Some of these records are currently in national and international archives, and, in general terms, the indigenous communities have not had access to them.

Resumo: No horizonte vislumbra-se algo da cosmopolítica feita pelos índios diante do primeiro e do atual Antropoceno, a partir de um momento etnográfico, especialmente, com os filmes e fotos antigos e atuais feitos entre os índios Apyãwa (Tapirapé) e Iny (Javaé, Karajá e Ixybiòwa) situados na Amazônia.Destes encontros, algumas perguntas sobre minha posição multissituada (Hannerz, 2003) ao estudar sobremaneira com materiais audiovisuais feitos por indígenas e não-indígenas.Neste ínterim, as questões tangenciam com os dilemas postos pelo Antropoceno e vivenciados pelos povos indígenas em terra brasilis quando enfrentam cotidianamente situações de genocídio e etnocídio, de não reconhecimento de seus modos de vida devido à falta de efetivação de políticas públicas relacionadas com a preservação de seus territórios tradicionais (PNGATI), consequentemente da biodiversidade e de um meio ambiente equilibrado. Disto, algumas notas etnológicas de uma possível tradução das visualidades indígenas, sobretudo, entre os índios Apyãwa, como um modo singular de cosmopolítica.Palavras-chave: Apyãwa. Antropoceno.

Of these meetings, some questions about my position multi-site (Hannerz, 2003) when studying extensively with audiovisual materials made by indigenous peoples and non-indigenous. In the meantime, the issues touch on the dilemmas posed by the Anthropocene and experienced by indigenous peoples on Brazilian soil when they face daily situations of genocide and ethnocide, non-recognition of their ways of life due to the lack of effective public policies related to preservation of their traditional territories (PNGATI), as a consequence of biodiversity and a balanced environment.

Fotografias Tumulares em uma Antiga Colônia de Isolamento Sanitário: Sobrevivências de um passado em desaparecimento
Authors: Bezerra Daniele Borges , Magni Claudia Turra
Published: August 2020

Resumo: A política sanitária de isolamento compulsório adotada nos anos 1920 para controle da hanseníase (“lepra”), foi mote da tese de Daniele Bezerra. A pesquisa nos arquivos do Hospital-Colônia Itapuã (Viamão/RS), seguida de observação flutuante e registro fotográfico nas ruínas daquela microcidade, com atenção às narrativas verbo-visuais de seus poucos habitantes, converteu aquelas memórias difíceis em “monumentos-refratários” (Bezerra, 2019). Considerando a dimensão coletiva do cemitério, propomos uma narrativa visual das fotografias tumulares, que inscrevem esses vestígios como fantasmagorias e redobram a invisibilização de presenças socialmente indesejáveis. O simbolismo da lápide como lugar de memória (Nora, 1981) permite propor uma epistemologia daquelas “imagens órfãs” (Bruno, 2018), que resistem e “interrogam nosso tempo presente” (Samain, 2012). Considerando a noção de pessoa (Mauss, 2011) que subjaz a máscara mortuária, e a fotografia como “aparecimento de uma distância” (Benjamin, 1989) e como “ressurreição” (Barthes, 2010), compartilhamos da preocupação de Didi-Huberman (2013) sobre o risco de musealização do passado na forma de domesticação da violência institucional.Palavras-chave: Narrativas verbo-visuais. Memória e esquecimento. Políticas sanitárias e invisibilidade. TUMULAR PHOTOGRAPHIES IN AN OLD COLONY OF SANITARY ISOLATION: SURVIVALS OF A DISAPPEARING PAST Abstract: The health policy of compulsory isolation adopted in the 1920s for leprosy control was the motto of Daniele Bezerra's thesis, co-author of this article. Research in the archives of the Hospital-Colônia Itapuã (Viamão/RS), followed by floating observation and photographic recording in the ruins of that microcity, with attention to the verb-visual narratives of its few inhabitants, converted those difficult memories into "refratting -monuments" (Bezerra, 2019). Considering the collective dimension of the cemetery, we propose a visual narrative of the tomb photographs, which inscribe these vestiges as phantasmagoria and redouble the invisibilization of socially undesirable presences. The symbolism of the gravestone as a place of memory (Nora, 1981) allows us to propose an epistemology of those "orphan images" (Bruno, 2018) that resist and "question our present time" (Samain, 2012). Considering the notion of the person (Mauss, 2011) that underlies the mortuary mask, and photography as "the appearance of a distance" (Benjamin, 1989) and as "resurrection" (Barthes, 2010), we share Didi-Huberman's (2013) concern about the risk of musealization of the past in the form of domestication of institutional violence.Keywords: Verb-visual narratives. Memory and oblivion; Health policies and invisibility.

OBJECTIVE

To explore whether at-admission hyperglycemia
is associated with worse outcomes in patients hospitalized for Covid-19.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Hospitalized Covid-19 subjects (N=271) were subdivided
based on at-admission glycemic status: 1. glucose levels <7.78 mmol/L (NG;
N=149; 55.0%; median glucose 5.99 [5.38-6.72] mmol/L), 2. known diabetes (DM;
N=56;
20.7%; 9.18 [7.67-12.71] mmol/L),
and 3. no diabetes and glucose levels
≥7.78 mmol/L (HG; N=66, 24.3%; 8.57 [8.18-10.47] mmol/L).

RESULTS

Neutrophils were higher and lymphocytes and PaO2/FiO2
lower in HG than DM and NG. DM and HG had higher D-Dimer and worse inflammatory
profile. Mortality was greater in HG (39.4% vs 16.8%; unadjusted HR 2.20, 95%CI
1.27-3.81, p=0.005) than in NG (16.8%), and marginally so in DM (28.6%; HR
1.73, 0.92-3.25, p=0.086). Upon multiple adjustments, only HG remained an
independent predictor (1.80, 1.03-3.15, p=0.04). After stratification by
quintile of glucose levels, mortality was higher in Q4 (HR 3.57, 1.46-8.76,
p=0.005) and marginally in Q5 (29.6%; HR 2.32, 95% CI 0.91-5.96, p=0.079) vs
Q1.

CONCLUSIONS

Hyperglycemia is an independent factor associated with severe prognosis
in people hospitalized for COVID-19.

Inhibitors of
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), statins, which are used to prevent cardiovascular
diseases, are associated with a modest increase in the risk of new-onset
diabetes mellitus. To investigate the role of HMGCR in the development of β cells and glucose homeostasis, we deleted Hmgcr in a β cell-specific
manner by using the Cre-loxP technique. Mice lacking Hmgcr in β cells (β-KO) exhibited hypoinsulinemic hyperglycemia as
early as postnatal day 9 (P9) due to decreases in both β cell mass and insulin
secretion. Ki67 positive cells were reduced in β-KO mice at P9, thus β cell
mass reduction was caused by
proliferation disorder immediately after birth. The mRNA expression of neurogenin3 (Ngn3), which is transiently expressed in endocrine
progenitors of the embryonic pancreas, was maintained despite a striking
reduction in the expression of β cell-associated genes, such as insulin, Pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (Pdx1) and MAF
BZIP transcription factor A (Mafa)
in the islets from β-KO mice. Histological analyses revealed dysmorphic islets
with markedly reduced numbers of β cells,
some of which were also positive for glucagon. In conclusion, HMGCR
plays critical roles not only in insulin secretion but also in the development
of β cells in mice.
Policy Regarding Increased Control of Circulation or Trade of Dog Meat in Karanganyar Regency (Reviewed through the concept of Animal Welfare and The Rule of Adz-Dzariah Fiqh)
Authors: Enggarani Nuria Siswi , Nugroho Wisnu Tri
Published: August 2020

Objective: This study aims to determine the implementation of policies regarding increasing supervision of the distribution or trade of dog meat in Karanganyar regency and to find out the policy review through the concept of animal welfare and adz-dzariah rules. Methodology: This research is a juridical-empirical method, with the type of research being analytic descriptive, and the data collection method used is library research and field research.  Finding: This research shows that the implementation of policies regarding the increase of supervision on the distribution or trade of dog meat in Karanganyar is divided into the stages of pre-implementation, implementation, and post-implementation. The policy is also a step towards realizing the concept of Animal Welfare because this policy will stop the torture of dogs. In contrast, in the rule of adz-dzari'ah fiqh, the implementation of the policy is to implement the sharia maqashid, which aims to protect Al-Kulliyah Al-Khamsah. Application of the Study: The policy on increasing supervision of the distribution or trade of dog meat is essentially to prevent the spread of zoonoses and stop the practice of violence against dogs. While this research is expected to provide an overview and information on the implementation of the policy.  Originality/Novelty: This research can be categorized differently from previous studies, where this research is more focused on the implementation of policies in Karanganyar which are then analyzed with the concept of Animal Welfare and the rule of adz-dzari'ah fiqh. Keywords: Adz-Dzari’ah, Animal Welfare, Policy, Maqashid Syari’ah

The role of Human Resources in Strategy Formulation
Authors: Shala Venet
Published: August 2020

Corporate strategy formulation is a very important process and requires serious and careful engagement. Any mistake in the first phase of strategic management (formulation) will result in problems in the next stages such as implementation and control.

Today, organizations of different sizes, small and medium, and large, in the process of strategy formulation need the involvement of qualified, competent and talented employees that would influence the creation of a successful strategy.

However, the main problem in designing an unsuccessful strategy lies in the fact that most companies in the process of strategy development involve high level hierarchical levels and consultants inside or outside the company, leaving aside most of the human resources that contribute to the success of the company.

Various literature has emphasized that strategy formulation is an essential step in turning a company's vision and objectives into reality. Therefore, the visionary leadership of companies should be oriented towards giving more importance to human resources during the process of strategy formulation and involve any team member who can contribute to the realization of organizational goals and organizational vision.

Through this paper we will present human resources at a higher level in terms of importance and provide conclusions and recommendations on how organizations today should value these strategic resources and achieve competitive advantage in the market.

In this paper we will give an overview of Kosovar companies, the process of strategy formulation in these companies and analyze how human resources are involved in the process and what importance is given to them by the company.

The study aims to assess the impact of terrorism activities on foreign direct investment in a panel study of 33 Sub-Saharan African countries. In order to achieve the objective of the study, it employed panel data methodologies such as GLS random-effect, ML random-effect, fixed effect regression, generalized linear model and multivariate regression methods to enable it make statistically and robust inference or conclusion. However, the study found that there is an inverse linear relationship or impact on foreign direct investment in Sub-Saharan Africa. Also, the study found out that economic growth and foreign direct investment are inversely related and corruption control has positive and direct linear relationship with foreign direct investment. As the study focused on the linear relationship of terrorism activities and foreign direct investments, it recommends further studies into the subject-matter by employing the non-linear approaches to ascertain the non-linear relationship between the two.

Published: August 2020

Flabby ridge is the soft mobile tissue which affects both maxillary and mandibular ridges but maxillary anterior of long term denture wearers the most. At the time of impression making, forces exerted can cause distortion of the mobile tissue. If not properly managed, denture will be displaced by the masticatory forces which will ultimately lead to loss of retention, support and stability of denture. There are many approaches to deal with displaceable denture bearing tissue “flabby ridges” which includes- Surgical management, special impression techniques, balanced distribution of occlusal loads and implant therapy. This case report presents the prosthodontic rehabilitation of a patient with flabby ridge using a different impression technique.

Published: August 2020

Asset value predictability remains a major research concern in financial market especially when considering the effect of unprecedented market fluctuations on the behaviour of market participants.

This paper presents preliminary results toward the building a reliable forward problem on ensemble approach IPCBR model, that leverages the capabilities of Case based Reasoning(CBR) and Inverse Problem Techniques (IPTs) to describe and model abnormal stock market fluctuations (often associated with asset bubbles) using datasets from historical stock market prices. The framework uses a rich set of past observations and geometric pattern description and then applies a CBR to formulate the forward problem, Inverse Problem formulation is then applied to identify a set of parameters that can statistically be associated with the occurrence of the observed patterns.

This research work presents a formative strategy aimed to determine the causes of behaviour, rather than predict future time series points which brings a novel perspective to the problem of asset bubbles predictability, and a deviation from the existing research trend. The results depict the stock dynamics and statistical fluctuating evidence associated with the envisaged bubble problem.

Published: August 2020

The effect of rain in the design of satellite and terrestrial microwave radio links is of interest to Engineers and Scientists. It is good to have a reliable design that guarantees high level of accuracy of the rain rate distribution from the lowest rain rate value to the highest. The present work proposes a model that expresses rain rate as a function of alpha and beta obtained at 0.01% of time. When tested, the results obtained with the measurement perform well for the stations considered at a rain rated between 5mm/h to 200mm/h. Thus, , the empirical models that were obtained through them could be a useful tool for the radio design engineers for high rain rate areas.

Published: August 2020

Advancement in technology has brought about information technology. Information and communication technology (ICT) has changed the methods of carrying out activities in different areas of human endeavours. As a result of the world rapidly adopting digital media and information, the roles of ICT in assuring quality education is becoming important and the importance is expected to continue growing.  In this paper, the effectiveness of adopting ICT as a tool for Teaching/Learning Processes and academic performance was investigated and issues militating against integration of ICT were reviewed. A total of 90 questionnaires were administered to respondents who were students selected randomly from three polytechnics in Nigeria. The selected students were classified into experimental group (learning using ICT) and control group (learning without ICT).  Interviews were also employed for selected lecturers. The results show that the use of ICT as a tool for learning has improved the learning outcome of the selected students and the use of ICT for teaching has made teaching very interesting to students with consequential increase in performance of students. Integration of ICT into Teaching and Learning is considered to be a necessary issue for students, educators and education administrators to assure better understandings and effective teachings.

The implementation of Ventilation rate and Heating rate can save energy and reduce cost of production. In previous studies, ventilation rates and heating rates were calculated based on mass and energy balance but they are mainly influenced by several factors. In order to check for the effectiveness and applicability of greenhouse ventilation rate and heating rate, we study a multi-module fuzzy control method and use fuzzy logic controllers to control the coordination of a greenhouse heating and ventilation systems. The complexity is reduced by using fuzzy tool in matlab-simulink environment which enables a quick design. The experimental data showed that the new multi-module fuzzy control reduced temperature and humidity fluctuations and maintained temperature and humidity closer to the desired temperature and humidity; this method can be easily used to control other equipment in the greenhouse.
Effects of Culinary Methods on The Proximate Composition of an Edible Insect (Rhynchophorus Phoenicis) Larvae Obtained From Bayelsa State, Nigeria
Authors: MarkManuel D. P. , Godwin Jackson
Published: August 2020

This study investigated the effects of culinary methods (boiling and frying) on the proximate composition of an edible insect commonly known as African Palm Weevil (R. phoenicis) Larva(e). The proximate composition (moisture, ash, protein, crude fibre, fat and carbohydrate contents) were determined using standard methodology of the Association of Analytical Chemists (AOAC). Boiling increased the moisture and ash content but, decreased the protein, fat, carbohydrate (p0.05) and the fibre content compared to the raw sample. On the other hand, frying increased the protein and ash contents (p 0.05) but decreased the moisture, fat, carbohydrate and fibre contents compared to the raw. The decrease in moisture content led to a corresponding increase in the protein, and ash contents of the fried sample, which indicates high protein and mineral levels of the larvae. Also, the lowest moisture content recorded in the fried sample compared to the raw and boiled sample was an indication of reduction of microbial spoilage, and longer storage shelf life of this edible larva. Therefore, frying is recommended as the best culinary method for healthy diet.

Genotoxicity by Pahs In Shrimp (Litopenaeus Vannamei) and Its Impact on The Aquaculture of Two Coastal Ecosystems of The Gulf of California, Mexico
Authors: Reyes Guillermo Galindo
Published: August 2020

During the lasts decades, aquaculture of several species have growth vertiginously around the world. In Mexico the shrimp aquaculture has been the most important. About 73-75 % of shrimp hatcheries are in coastal ecosystems of the states of Sonora and Sinaloa, located along the Gulf of California. In this States there is not oil industry; however, several industries and other activities discharge petroleum derivatives (imprudently or accidentally) into coastal waters; as happens in Teacapan estuary and Huizache-Caimanero lagoon. The aim of this work was to quantify the levels of PAHs in water of these ecosystems, and to evaluate the genotoxic damage to shrimp, under laboratory conditions. Water samples were taken during rainy and dry months from both coastal systems, and then analyzed by Gas Chromatography (GC). Once known the PAHs concentrations, lots of seven juvenile shrimp were exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of Naphthalene, Phenanthrene, Chrysene, Fluorene, Anthracene, Pyrene, Fluoranthene, Benzo(b)fluoranthene and Benzo(a)pyrene during 21 days, since these were the most frequently PAHs found. At end of exposure period, genotoxicity was evaluated by Comet assay, and presence of micro-nucleus in shrimp haemocytes. Results demonstrated genotoxic damage by presence of comets, and micro-nucleus more frequently in exposed shrimps than controls. Also, a growth decrease was observed in exposed shrimps. These results, indicate potential risk for shrimp aquaculture in Sinaloa and human health, since shrimp is exported and consumed locally, and because in some cases, experimental PAHs concentrations were lower than concentrations of some PAHs found in water of Teacapan estuary and Huizache–Caimanero lagoon.
