Estudio Comparativo entre dos Métodos de Cuantificación por Difracción de Rayos X
Authors: Puga María , Parra Wilson
Published: September 2019

En el Laboratorio de Química del Instituto Nacional del Patrimonio Cultural (INPC) se realizan estudios mineralógicos de muestras arqueológicas mediante análisis por Difracción de Rayos X (DRX). La cuantificación mineralógica por DRX debe realizarse por el Método del Estándar Interno mediante curvas de calibración con estándares, inaccesibles para el laboratorio, y mediante la integración de las áreas de los picos principales de cada mineral lo cual, por las características del equipo, retrasa el trabajo en el laboratorio, además de existir la probabilidad de sobreposición de picos anulando una cuantificación por este método. El presente trabajo se realizó con el afán de estudiar un nuevo método de cuantificación, el cual ahorra tiempo, dinero y esfuerzo denominado “Método por Cuentas”; y, compararlo estadísticamente con el método anteriormente descrito, determinando que este método es significativamente igual al del Estándar Interno y que presenta una muy alta precisión; sin embargo, posee una exactitud seis veces menor. Con estos resultados pudo concluirse que no existe diferencia significativa entre los dos métodos de cuantificación por DRX y que el método puede ser empleado en el análisis mineralógico de esta clase de muestras. Con esta conclusión, se realizó un análisis elemental y mineralógico de muestras del proyecto arqueológico El Qhapaq Ñañ, obteniendo resultados valiosos para la reconstrucción de este sitio patrimonial ecuatoriano.

KHULU' (TALAK TEBUS) DAN IMPLIKASI HUKUMNYA DALAM PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ISLAM
Authors: Kusmidi Henderi
Published: September 2019

Dalam masyarakat kita sering menjumpai berbagai macam kasus atau kejadian rumah tangga, seperti keretakan rumah tangga yang berujung pada perceraian, namun lazimnya hak cerai itu dimiliki oleh laki-laki (suami). Akan tetapi bukan berarti hal ini menunjukan bentuk diskriminasi terhadap wanita, karena hukum Islam telah memberikan solusi bagi wanita yang mengalami gencatan atau beban rumah tangga untuk melakukan gugatan cerai pada suami, dengan cara memberikan upah atau iwadh sebagai tebusan dan bentuk membebaskan dirinya dari ikatan suami istri.
KEBIJAKASANAAN DAN COMPLEX POLITICAL EMERGENCE: Mencermati Arah Konflik Jamaah Ahmadiyah Indonesia
Authors: Rahmat Ihsan
Published: September 2019

Complex Political Emergence (CPE) menjadi paradigma yang mampu menjelaskan saat sebuah konflik tidak mampu dikelola dan diprediksi penyelesaiannya. Perang yang kemudian merambah pada isu kemanusiaan, ideologi, dan keterbatasan sumberdaya seringkali menjadi contoh mutlak. Tetapi tidak menutup kemungkinan bergeser ke konflik laten agama. Menimbang hal tersebut, studi ini kemudian berargumen bahwa masa konflik Ahmadiyah dengan ‘muslim tertentu’ di Indonesia kemungkinan mengarah pada CPE. Diskusi pada tulisan ini telah didukung oleh berbagai jurnal, pandangan tokoh, dan berita dari media online. Semua bahan dibaca secara interaktif, direduksi, kemudian intisari bacaan dikembangkan sesuai penalaran induktif. Studi ini memaparkan beberapa bukti kasus kekerasan, bahkan penghilangan nyawa di kalangan warga Ahmadiyah. Penyebabnya dalam CPE dikenal dengan predatory social formations atau penanaman pemikiran bahwa Ahmadiyah merusak akidah Islam dan diklaim sesat. Sehingga saat ‘muslim tertentu’ bertemu dengan pengikut Ahmadiyah, keinginan untuk mengadakan kontak sangat mungkin terjadi. Ini menjadi jawaban penting bahwa konfliknya mengarah pada CPE.

Women and Organizational Capabilities in Seaweed Production in North Gorontalo
Authors: Kamuli Sukarman , Amin Basri
Published: September 2019

Despite the government support for economic development in some coastal areas in Indonesia, the paradigm about women’s agency remains almost the same. This is because women are still marginalized. This paper focuses on looking at agency of women in managing their resources. This study proves that women are active agents in coastal areas of North Gorontalo. Specifically, in the seaweed production, empirical evidences show significantly that women's associations succeeded in gaining economic advantages, participatory leadership, and had adaptability towards changes in technology and seaweed market. Applying a qualitative research approach, this study illustrates a number of policy subjects, organizational patterns, regional opportunity, and actors that support the centrality of women’s organizational capabilities in the field of seaweed production in the north coast of Gorontalo. This study justifies the tendency in Gorontalo, and perhaps in other areas in Indonesia, that women groups have an economic reputation in the seaweed production because they are fully involved in all production processes.

Authors: Sukesi Keppi
Published: September 2019

The research aims to analyze the social conditions of working women migrant domestic workers, gender relations in their home and workplace, and to describe the violence experienced by women migrant domestic workers. The research method used is case study in two villages, namely village of Majangtengah Malang Regency and village of Junjung Tulungagung Regency as sender of migrant worker. The research informants are migrant workers who have returned to their home villages and migrant families who are working overseas. This study uses a qualitative approach through in-depth study of 32 migrant workers. Data analysis technique is descriptive qualitative. Research results show that women migrant workers are encouraged to work away from the village and families by socioeconomic factors. They have different working conditions in the destination country. The employer factors are crucial to urge the success of the migrant workers. They contribute economically to households and surrounding communities, but this work is very at risk of violence. Violence can occur from departure to destination country. Therefore, protection of women migrant workers is very important.

Radio Constellation to Strengthening Local Identity
Authors: Rachmiatie Atie , Ravena Dey , Yuniati Yenni
Published: September 2019

A problem of broadcasting system in Indonesia, radio broadcasts in particular, lies in its insignificant contribution to strengthening the local identity, albeit the power of radio that is on the proximity of the media and its audiences. Local identity seems to fade away nowadays and being left behind by its community, whereas it has the power to shape the national identity, especially for young generation. This article examines a constellation of radio broadcasts in strengthening local identity. This study uses a qualitative method of case study with subject’s research of private mainstream broadcast radio in West Java. The research result finds that institutional owners have difficulties to balance commercial interests and editorial side since the radio needs to go forward in the industry and gain profits, but on the other side is "chained" by prevailing regulations and idealism. This is the reason why radio needs to advance in technology, contents, and human resources and also follows the trends.  Implementation on program/content of broadcast is based on the spirit to undertake the local potential, but the change in listeners’ state demands the radio manager to transforms local culture in such a way to be accepted by those listeners. Contents are focused on values and characters, while the packaging remains the present. The dominance of media conglomeration in broadcasting industry hampered the development of local radio.

Published: September 2019

Modern values applied by the Netherland through its policies have brought changes in the people’s lives of Neglasari Village in its governance back in the days. The changes were especially related to the implementation of modern bureaucracy system by forming a new power system in village government. This research aimed to analyze the implemented policies and their changes in village governance during the Dutch colonial era. Method used was qualitative research with a case study strategy. Data collection technique was focused on documentation and in-depth interview with several informants obtained through snowball technique. The research result indicates that state policies that govern the village were stated by forming a village and new modern value-based government structure. The policies did not change the previous village governance that based on local values. It was due to the leadership of the village elites that able to maintain local values in their village governance. In the end, village governance of Neglasari was based on two values, modern in its government structure but local in its governance.
Measuring the Importance of Stemming Radicalism In the Decentralization Era of Democracy
Authors: Supriadi Endang
Published: September 2019

This article is based on studies conducted to describe the stemming of radicalism in the era of democratic decentralization. The author has a thesis that the acceptance of radicalism narration occurred gradually. In the early stages of accepting the narrative, people begin to realize about the world's disaster and the prevailing system in society. They then withdraw from extrovert society by establishing a clear distinction between "us" and "them". The differences of identity begin to unfold along with denial of differences based on religious sentiments. An antidote to radicalization is necessary: deradicalization. Radicalism is not then present without being preceded by an intolerant attitude which then turns to acts of terrorism. When an individual commits an act of terror, it is indirectly past the stage before the individual commits the terror: intolerant and radicalism. In this era of decentralization, democracy starts the freedom of expression for every citizen, including criticizing government policies without fear of repressive actions from the state. Along with the strengthening of democratic decentralization policy, the dynamics of radical religious group movements also decentralized.
Concentration-dependent Toxicity after Subcutaneous Administration of Meloxicam to C57BL/6N Mice (Mus musculus)
Authors: Sarfaty Anna E , Zeiss Caroline J , Willis Amy D , Harris Jorgen M , Smith Peter C
Published: September 2019

Studies using the Mouse Grimace Scale have shown that for many NSAID, including meloxicam, minimal doses of at least 20 mg/kg may be necessary to achieve adequate peri- and post-operative analgesia in mice. However, more data are needed to determine whether such NSAID doses exceed the
threshold for gastrointestinal ulceration or induce other relevant pathology. We administered equal volumes of saline or injectable meloxicam (1 or 5 mg/mL) at a dose of 20 mg/kg SC to 20 young adult male and female C57BL/6N mice daily for 6 d and performed necropsies on all mice on the seventh
day. Mice given 5 mg/mL meloxicam subcutaneously developed significantly more severe pathology at the injection site than saline controls. Pathology was characterized by full-thickness epidermal necrosis; cavitary lesions within subcutis, muscle, or fat; steatitis; and myositis. Mice that
received 1 mg/mL meloxicam subcutaneously developed lesions that were qualitatively similar but far less severe than those after 5 mg/mL. However, no pathologic lesions typically associated with NSAID toxicity, such as gastric ulceration and liver and kidney lesions, were seen. These results
demonstrate that although meloxicam injected subcutaneously causes concentration-dependent skin pathology at the injection site, a dose of 20 mg/kg can be safely administered subcutaneously at a concentration of 1 mg/mL for as long as 6 d.

Published: September 2019

The review analyses measles incidence in Russia at the elimination stage. Epidemiological studies have revealed changes in the measles epidemic process in Russia. It was shown that whereas the specificity of the epidemic process in the pre-vaccination period was mainly determined by the influence of the infectious agent, lately the impact of the social factor has increased. There was an increase in the impact of decreed groups on maintaining the circulation of the virus in the Russian Federation. The aim of the study was to analyse the specificity of the measles epidemic process in Russia, to identify the major current problems of measles vaccination, to reveal reasons that prevent measles elimination in the country given the present environment, and to formulate possible ways of solving them. The article demonstrates the role of migration processes within the country and infection importation from neighboring territories in the rise of disease outbreaks. The article discusses Russian regulatory documents that are devoted to combating the spread of measles, their consistent replacement and refinement bearing in mind the changing epidemiological situation and the current WHO criteria and guidelines for the infection elimination. High-level epidemiological surveillance of the infection is a key factor in choosing the optimal strategy of measles vaccination. The article lists indicators of epidemiological surveillance effectiveness. It also highlights the importance of molecular genetic monitoring of the measles pathogen. The authors outline measures that are necessary to achieve measles elimination in the Russian Federation given the current epidemiological situation.

Published: September 2019

The main problems of using TNF-alpha in antitumor therapy are its rapid degradation in the bloodstream and the limited selectivity of accumulation in the tumor tissue. The SRC VB «Vector» developed a biodegradable molecular construct that provides protection against proteases and ensures targeted delivery of proteins to the tumor tissue. This construct was used to create an antitumor drug containing recombinant human TNF-alpha (rhTNF-alpha).

The aim of the study was to analyse rhTNF-alpha pharmacokinetics in the delivery system after a single administration.

Materials and methods: the rhTNF-alpha drug carried by the delivery system was intravenously administered to female outbred ICR (СD-1) mice only once at two effective antitumor doses, 2.55 μg and 5.1 μg / 20 g of body weight. The concentration of TNF-alpha in the serum and supernatants of organ homogenates, obtained at different time points after administration, was analysed by immunoenzyme assay.

Results: the obtained curves of TNF-alpha concentration in the blood were satisfactorily described by the equation for the twocompartment model without absorption. The rapid phase of elimination from the blood took 0–4 h, the slow one — 4–24 h. The highest specific content of protein was observed in the skin, spleen, and kidneys tissue. The calculation of pharmacokinetic parameters demonstrated that the highest values of tissue availability fT were obtained for the kidneys and skin; the drug was retained for longer periods of time in the kidneys, liver and skin (according to the MRT data). As a rule, complete elimination of the drug was observed by the end of the first day after administration.

Conclusions: rhTNF-alpha carried by the delivery system was quickly eliminated from the blood and distributed in the internal organ tissues after a single intravenous administration to mice in the effective doses range. The main organs in which rhTNF-alpha was distributed were skin, kidneys, and spleen. The elimination of the drug from the blood was a two-phase process which was generally over by the end of the first day.
El lugar de la fuerza ilocucionaria en las prácticas lingüísticas. Un abordaje del lenguaje desde las perspectivas de Habermas y Bourdieu
Authors: Modenutti Carolina
Published: September 2019

En el presente trabajo analizamos las concepciones de lenguaje de Habermas y Bourdieu, autores que combinan la perspectiva pragmática del lenguaje con sus teorías del funcionamiento social. Utilizaremos como eje de nuestro análisis la continuación y ampliación que ambos autores realizan de la teoría austiniana de los actos de habla, más precisamente la distinción entre fuerza ilocucionaria y fuerza perlocucionaria. De este modo, pretendemos transitar las concepciones de lenguaje y prácticas lingüísticas de Habermas y Bourdieu, intentando precisar sus puntos de coincidencia y de disidencia con el fin de alcanzar dos objetivos. En primer lugar, analizar las condiciones que hacen posible el desarrollo del lenguaje en el marco de las prácticas sociales y, en segundo lugar, examinar el lugar que cada uno de los autores otorga a la fuerza ilocucionaria en las emisiones lingüísticas y las funciones del lenguaje que devienen de dicha interpretación.
La relación entre trabajo, capital y subjetivación en las sociedades contemporáneas en las lecturas de Michel Foucault y Negri y Lazzarato: elementos para una revisión del análisis marxista del trabajo
Authors: Del Valle Marilina
Published: September 2019

La hipótesis que se buscará demostrar en el presente trabajo es que de las nociones de “idoneidad-máquina”, elaborada por Michel Foucault en su análisis de las teorías del capital humano, y “trabajo inmaterial”, creada posteriormente por Maurizio Lazzarato y Antonio Negri, pueden extraerse elementos para abordar una revisión del análisis marxista del trabajo, en virtud de las transformaciones acontecidas en la configuración política y económica de las sociedades occidentales durante el último tercio del siglo XX. El estudio de las citadas nociones girará en torno de las implicancias, para los procesos de subjetivación acontecidos en el cruce de los sistemas políticos y económicos occidentales de finales del siglo XX, de las siguientes condiciones: 1) la resignificación y confluencia que a partir de los mencionados conceptos es posible concebir entre los factores capital y trabajo, tal como fueron concebidos por la economía clásica; 2) el apoyo de la lógica económica neoliberal en aspectos de la vida individual y social antes considerados ajenos al mercado, y 3) la inmaterialización del trabajo y la mercancía. 
Consideraciones sobre la memoria y el olvido en la filosofía de Friedrich Nietzsche
Authors: Vanioff Kevin Iván
Published: September 2019

Este artículo se centra en el tema de la relación entre la vida, la memoria y el olvido en el pensamiento nietzscheano. El desarrollo teórico pretende mostrar que la memoria no sólo enferma la vida, sino que también la potencia y que el olvido no siempre se identifica con la salud, sino también con la debilidad. Se pondrá en evidencia la complejidad con que se presentan estos dos fenómenos en la filosofía de Nietzsche mostrando las divergencias existentes en torno de las relaciones con lo vital. A partir de allí, se concluye con una resignificación de la memoria y el olvido a la luz de las nuevas relaciones posibles con la vida.

Use of shock-wave exposures for accelerating thermal ablation of targeted tissue volumes
Authors: Sapozhnikov Oleg , Kreider Wayne , Khokhlova Tatiana , Partanen Ari , Karzova Maria , Wang Yak-Nam , Yuldashev Petr , Khokhlova Vera
Published: September 2019

In HIFU applications, nonlinear acoustic propagation effects can result in the formation of high-amplitude shocks at the focus, with amplitudes exceeding 100 MPa, leading to a significant increase in tissue heating at target sites. This effect has been used in a new pulsed-HIFU technology termed boiling histotripsy to mechanically liquefy tissue. In boiling histotripsy, such shock-wave millisecond-long pulses are delivered to the target sites at low duty cycles. Similar exposures, delivered at higher repetition rates may benefit thermal HIFU by shortening sonication and treatment times, reducing heating of near field and surrounding tissues, mitigating diffusion and perfusion effects, and providing sharper lesion margins. The goal of this project was to develop shock-enhanced thermal HIFU treatments and test their performance through a combination of simulations and experiments using a clinical Sonalleve V2 MR-HIFU system (Profound Medical Inc., Canada).

Women’s intentions to engage in risk-reducing behaviours after receiving personal ovarian cancer risk information: an experimental survey study
Authors: Gallagher Ailish , Waller Jo , Manchanda Ranjit , Jacobs Ian , Sanderson Saskia
Published: September 2019

Risk stratification using genetic and/or other types of information could identify women at increased ovarian cancer risk. The aim of this study was to examine women’s potential reactions to ovarian cancer risk stratification. 1,017 women aged 45-75 years took part in an online experimental survey. Women were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions describing hypothetical personal results from ovarian cancer risk stratification, and asked to imagine they had received one of three results: (a) 5% risk due to SNPs and lifestyle factors; (b) 10% risk due to SNPs and lifestyle factors; (c) 10% risk due to a rare mutation in BRCA2. 83% of women indicated interest in having ovarian cancer risk assessment. After receiving their hypothetical risk estimates, 29% of women stated they would have risk-reducing surgery. Choosing risk-reducing surgery over other behavioural responses was associated with having higher surgery self-efficacy and perceived response-efficacy, but not with perceptions of disease threat, i.e. perceived risk or severity, or with experimental condition. A substantial proportion of women age 45-75 years may be open to the idea of surgery to reduce risk of ovarian cancer, even if their absolute lifetime risk is only increased to as little as 5 or 10%.
Do facial cues of body weight influence perceptions of happy and sad facial expressions? Evidence from an Arab sample
Authors: Alharbi Sarah Aied , Jones Benedict C
Published: September 2019

Facial expressions of emotion play an important role in social interactions. Recent work has suggested that experimentally increasing body-weight cues makes faces displaying happy expressions look happier and makes faces displaying sad expressions look sadder. These results were interpreted as evidence that a ‘heavy people are happier’ stereotype influences emotion perception. Because this original study was carried out at a university in the USA, and emotion perceptions can differ across cultures, we undertook a conceptual replication of this study in an Arab sample. We found that experimentally increasing body-weight cues made faces displaying happy expressions look significantly happier, but did not make faces displaying sad expressions look significantly sadder. These results present partial support for the proposal that a ‘heavy people are happier’ stereotype influences emotion perception and that people integrate information from face shape and facial expressions in person perception.
Considering Others’ Mental States Causally Increases Feelings of Social Bonding and Information Sharing
Authors: Baek Elisa C , Tamir Diana , Falk Emily B.
Published: September 2019

Information sharing is a ubiquitous social behavior. What causes people to share? Mentalizing, or considering the mental states of other people, has been theorized to play a central role in information sharing, with higher activity in the brain’s mentalizing system associated with increased likelihood to share information. In line with this theory, we present novel evidence that mentalizing causally increases information sharing. In three pre-registered studies (n = 400, 840, and 3500 participants), participants who were instructed to consider the mental states of potential information receivers indicated higher likelihood to share health news compared to a control condition where they were asked to reflect on the content of the article. Certain kinds of mentalizing were particularly effective; in particular, considering receivers’ emotional and positive mental states, led to the greatest increase in likelihood to share. The relationship between mentalizing and sharing was mediated by feelings of closeness with potential receivers. Mentalizing increased feelings of connectedness to potential receivers, and in turn, increased likelihood of information sharing. Considering receivers’ emotional, positive, and inward-focused mental states was most effective at driving participants to feel closer with potential receivers and increase sharing. Data provide evidence for a causal relationship between mentalizing and information sharing and provide insight about the mechanism linking mentalizing and sharing. Taken together, these results advance theories of information sharing and shed light on previously observed brain-behavior relationships.
Is thirty-two three tens and two ones? The embedded structure of cardinal numbers
Authors: Guerrero Diego , hwang jihyun , Boutin Brynn , Roeper Tom , Park Joonkoo
Published: September 2019

The acquisition and representation of natural numbers have been a central topic in cognitive science. However, a key question in this topic about how humans acquire the capacity to understand that numbers make ‘infinite use of finite means’ (or that numbers are generative) has been left unanswered. Here, we test the hypothesis that children’s understanding of the syntactic rules for building complex numerals—or numerical syntax—is a crucial foundation for the acquisition of number concepts. In two independent studies, we assessed children’s understanding of numerical syntax by probing their knowledge about the embedded structure of cardinal numbers using a novel task called Give-a-number Base-10 (Give-N10). In Give-N10, children were asked to give a large number of items (e.g., 32 items) from a pool that is organized in sets of ten items. Children’s knowledge about the embedded structure of numbers (e.g., knowing that thirty-two items are composed of three tens and two ones) was assessed from their ability to use those sets. Study 1 tested English-speaking 5- to 10-year-olds and revealed that children’s understanding of the embedded structure of numbers emerges relatively late in development (several months into kindergarten), beyond when they are capable of making a semantic induction over a local sequence of numbers. Moreover, performance in Give-N10 was predicted by children’s counting fluency even when school grade was controlled for, suggesting that children’s understanding of the embedded structure of numbers is founded on their earlier knowledge about the syntactic regularities in the counting sequence. In Study 2, this association was tested again in monolingual Korean kindergarteners (5-6 years), as we aimed to test the same effect in a language with a highly regular numeral system. It replicated the association between Give-N10 performance and counting fluency, and it also demonstrated that Korean-speaking children understand the embedded structure of cardinal numbers earlier in the acquisition path than English-speaking peers, suggesting that the knowledge of numerical syntax governs children’s understanding of the generative properties of numbers. Based on these observations and our theoretical analysis of the literature, we propose that the syntax for building complex numerals represents the structure of numerical thinking.

Effect Of Ethephon Doses On Vegetative Characters, Sex Expression and Yield Of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus cv. Bhaktapur Local) In Resunga Municipality, Gulmi, Nepal
Authors: Dhakal Shiva , Karki Mahesh , Subedi Pritee , GC Aarati
Published: September 2019

A study on the effect of ethephon doses on vegetative characters, sex expression and yield of cucumber (Cucumis sativus cv. Bhaktapur Local) was conducted in Gulmi, Nepal during 21st April to 24th August 2017.  The experiment was laid in single factor Randomized complete Block Design (RCBD) with 4 replication and 5 treatments. Four different doses of ethephon 100, 200, 300 & 400 ppm with control were applied. Two sprays of ethephon was made one at two true leaf stage and other at four true leaf stage. Ethephon was found to reduce the plant height compared to control, minimum (238.8 cm) with 400 ppm and maximum (310.4 cm) with the control. The number of nodes and branches per plant were found to be highest with 300 ppm. Ethephon was found to shift first male flowers and female flowers towards upper and lower nodes respectively. The plot treated with 300 ppm ethephon, bearing 20.31 female flowers per plant was found superior to other doses for increasing total female flowers. Maximum and minimum number of male flowers per plant was recorded with control(107 per plant) and 400 ppm (46.90 per plant) respectively. Similarly, 300 ppm of ethephon was found superior for reducing (male: female) sex ratio. Maximum yield 27.51 t/ha was recorded with 300 ppm and minimum yield of 17.48 t/ha with the control. 57% increment in the yield was observed with 300 ppm ethephon as compared to the control. Thus, proper use of ethephon is found to be beneficial to farmers.
