HUBUNGAN ESENSIAL AGAMA-AGAMA: TEOLOGI DAN ETIKA
Authors: Zainul bahri Media
Published: May 2019

Artikel ini hendak membedah kesamaan-kesamaan pokok atau hubungan esensial diantara agama-agama yang diwahyukan Tuhan kepada para utusan-Nya, terutama titik-temu menyangkut dua hal pokok diatas, yaitu titik-temu teologis dan etis. Kajian ini begitu urgen mengingat bahwa dalam ekspresi keagamaan, agama-agama yang ada sering terlibat dalam konflik yang sebenarnya hal itu sangat ironis mengingat agama secara esensialnya adalah kumpulan-kumpulan ajaran kebaikan bagi kehidupan manusia. Agama, dalam pengertiannya yang esensial pertama kali “diturunkan” Tuhan membawa ajaran kuno nan abadi (perenial) tentang dua hal pokok yakni mengajak manusia untuk mengenali Tuhan sebagai Yang Esa, Ahad, Tunggal: satu-satunya Pencipta, Sumber Awal sekaligus Muara Akhir semua makhluk ciptaannya, dan mengajarkan etika. Ekspresi kultural agama-agama sering berbeda satu sama lain dan tidak jarang menggiring pada lahirnya konflik keagamaan. Artikel ini penting guna menyadarkan manusia akan adanya kesatuan esensi keagamaan dengan ajakan untuk mengedepankan nilai-nilai esensial ini dan bukan sebaliknya, memperlebar juang perbedaan dalam ekspresi-ekspresi keagamaan yang memang berbeda.
KONSTRUKSI PLURALISME AGAMA DALAM ISLAM
Authors: Halim Abdul
Published: May 2019

Dalam konteks Indonesia, secara sosiologis-antropologis pluralisme agama dan etnis adalah suatu fakta yang harus kita terima. Pemikiran teologis yang menawarkan pandangan inklusivisme dan pluralisme keberagamaan akan ikut meredam konflik dan ketegangan antar agama. Di sinilah letak pentingnya memperbincangkan masalah pluralisme agama dalam pluralitas bangsa (etnis) dan bagaimana memformat kembali bentuk dakwah/misi bagi agama dakwah yang ada di Indonesia, sehingga muncul desain baru tentang agama masa depan. Dialog mengenai pengalaman Iman, serta upaya membangun feologi yang inklusivistik dan dialogis bukan sesuatu yang tidak mungkin. Bahkan jika teologi dipahami sebagai refleksi kritis tentang sebuah doktrin agama dengan "commited" terhadap upaya" perdamaian dan meningkatkan peradaban manusia, maka kita mestinya banyak dari faham ekslusivisme ke inklusivisme dan kemudian ke pluralisme lalu selanjutnya ke suprapluralisme.

TINJAUAN HUKUM BATALNYA SUATU PERKAWINAN TERHADAP PERJANJIAN KREDIT BAN
Authors: Zamroni Zamroni
Published: May 2019

Abstract: The main function of the bank is to collect funds from the public in the form of deposits, and channel them to the public in the form of credit facilities. However, because the funds used as credit facilities are public funds, then giving credit must be in accordance with the precautionary principle. One of the application of the precautionary principle is to make a credit contract. Credit contract are not only carried out by banks with companies, but also between banks and individual debitor. If an individual debitor is married and does not have a marriage agreement, the husband and wife are generally involved in a credit contract. This is done in addition to guaranteeing loan repayments, also related to guarantees that are generally in the form of property. Basically marriage ties still have the potential to be canceled. So that there will be legal consequences when the marriage is canceled. This study focuses on analyzing the legal consequences of the credit contract made by banks with an individual debitor whose marriages are canceled by the Court

Accountability in the act of vote is inseparable from unsuccessful acts of election. Complications of problems that exist in elections, participation that does not involve parties involved in vote problems. Accountability for resolving vote actions must find the best formula in order to minimize the settlement that occurs in elections. Potential to avoid failure can occur before voting, during voting and after voting. The right formulation is needed as part of the anticipatory steps towards vote action. Collateral for anticipatory measures can be considered as part of a policy on crime prevention (criminal policy). In this case the formulation policy in the accountability of vote follow-up must be formulated coherently and integratively, with the basic principles needed in the administration of elections. For this reason, it is necessary to formulate accountability for election crimes that are eligible, effective and efficient, and transparent. This review of the formula for accountability for election can make the material for evaluating the policy formulation in the election follow-up.

A escola histórica do direito e a Escola Austríaca
Authors: Guterres Thiago
Published: May 2019

Este trabalho analisa a influência da Escola Histórica do Direito, mais especificamente a de seu principal representante, Friedrich Karl von Savigny, no pensamento de alguns dos principais teóricos da Escola Austríaca de Economia, quais sejam: Carl Menger, Bruno Leoni e F. A. Hayek. Savigny proclamava o caráter histórico do Direito, isto é, a ideia de que o Direito haveria de ser descoberto e apreendido mediante manifestações do espírito do povo, em vez de criado por um legislador. Apesar de ignorada ao longo do século XX, a Escola Histórica do Direito permanece viva nas obras de Menger, Leoni e Hayek, que resgataram os ensinamentos de Savigny e a tradição jurídica romana e integraram-nos em sua teoria dos processos sociais.

The limited value of journal peer review in public health: a case series of tobacco harm reduction articles.
Authors: Phillips Carl V. , Burstyn Igor , Carter Brian L.
Published: May 2019

Background: A widespread belief holds that the journal peer-review process ensures that published claims are correct. In public health this results in consumer, clinical, and policy decisions being based on blind faith in the accuracy of claims that appear in journals. Methods: We wrote reviews, as if we were writing journal peer reviews, of 12 consecutive articles related to tobacco harm reduction topics published in a mainstream public health journal, BMC Public Health, from 2012 to 2015. We then compared these to the reviews written by the journal’s reviewers. Additionally, we reviewed the changes made to the papers as a result of the journal reviews. Results: Almost all the papers in the dataset suffered from major flaws, most of which could have been corrected. None of these were corrected by the journal review process. In the single case where a journal reviewer identified many of the major flaws, the comments were basically ignored by the authors. Unreported conflict of interest was common among both authors and reviewers. Conclusions: The journal publishing process contributed very little value, compared to just circulating working papers, other than formatting and indexing. In public health, the phrase “according to a peer-reviewed journal article” seems to mean little more than “I read this somewhere.”

Imperfect melting pot – analysis of changes in diversity and segregation of US urban census tracts in the period of 1990-2010
Authors: Stepinski Tomasz , Dmowska Anna
Published: May 2019

Analyzing racial distribution and its temporal change in American urban areas is an active area of research. Mostattention focused on assessing levels of racial segregation at the spatial scale of a metropolitan area. In this paper, we present an analysis of 1990-2010 changes to racial diversity and segregation on a much smaller spatial scale of an urban census tract. To access time-standardized racial information at the tract and at the census block scales we use multiyear compatible high-resolution population grids. Indices of racial diversity and segregation are calculated for over 30,000 tracts pooled from 41 metropolitan areas. Statistical analysis of this dataset reveals that during the 1990-2010 period urban tracts increased their diversity in line with diversity increases of entire metro areas, but unlike metros, they also increased their levels of segregation. We hypothesize that an increased tendency for the residences of people of the same race to spatially aggregate on the tract scale is the result of individuals exercising preferences regarding their neighbors in reaction to the nationwide increase in diversity of the American population. The study also re-derives diversity and segregation indices from the first principles of the information theory, highlights the need to think about the issue of racial diversity/segregation in terms of spatial patterns, and uses one-person-per-dot maps to connect diversity/segregation indices to actual racial patterns.
Assessment of the Socio-Economic Status of Apartments in Kathmandu Valley
Authors: Shrestha Archana Bade
Published: May 2019

Nepal is urbanising at a rapid pace. According to CBS 2011 the urban population accounts for 17% and Kathmandu valley shares the highest urban population. The growing population has put immense pressure on land and housing situation in Kathmandu Valley. Apartments came into picture to accommodate the growing population in the less horizontal space of land but all income groups of people could not afford and access to the facilities and space provided in the apartments.

 The current scenario in Kathmandu valley depicts that the developers make investments in construction of apartments as a commercial activity rather than to upgrade housing scenario. Despite, due to the high interest rate, formal collateral in the form of land and house and high income of people to repay loans preferred by commercial banks, the economically weaker section and lower income group of people are not eligible to proceed for the loan. The high cost of Apartment units is beyond affordability of EWS and LIG.

The rapid increment of population concentration on primate cities like Kathmandu has led to scarcity of land to accommodate the increasing migrants and not only that, it has resulted in the unhygienic condition of living, suffocating and deteriorating urban environment. As a result, the high income group are moving in the urban fringe and it’s always the poor who are trapped in the vulnerable core cities of Kathmandu. The residential shift of rich people to urban fringe has led to the adhoc development with social disparity and inequity amongst the people living in the same areas.
Earthquake Risk Management on a Community Level - A Case Study of Bhaktapur Durbar Square

Published: May 2019

Earthquake is a natural hazard which when it happens turn out to be disaster that kill thousands of people and cause devastation of cities and villages within 30-60 seconds. Natural disaster may cause large economic impact and impeded socioeconomic development. Virtually the entire population of Nepal is at risk of natural hazards. Earthquake interrupts the proper functioning of the community causing socio-cultural and economic imbalances and losses which results very hard situation to sustain life with available resources. Due to its location on a tectonic active zone Nepal has a long history of earthquake activities of smaller and greater magnitude which are an inevitable part of Kathmandu valley as well. The Statement of problem in research (based on field survey 2067) was about different socio-economic and development activities induced by people or community which made their buildings and places defenceless during natural hazard like earthquake. The research focused on earthquake risk and its management at community level by identifying, analysing and mitigating the vulnerability of the people, place and buildings at Bhaktapur Durbar Square area through physical and social vulnerability studies and was limited to study of earthquake risk management through rapid visual assessment and analysis. The study area that lies in the world heritage site is vulnerable to earthquake risk not only due to different socio economic and development activities but also due to inaction from concerned authorities. So; the earthquake risk can be mitigated through community level earthquake risk management as it is the most effective and sustainable.
Traitors and Scoundrels: Franco-American Responses to the French-Canadian Elite
Authors: McEwan Eileen
Published: May 2019

The French Canadians that settled in New England between 1850 and 1930 were hoping to maintain a French stronghold in the United States. With each wave of migration, the French-Canadian elites made speeches to their departing compatriots, encouraging them to return home. This article examines the strategies made in these speeches, varying from denigration to glorification. Franco-American authors Honoré Beaugrand and Emma Dumas countered these images by promoting positive literary representations of the French New England communities.
Current approaches to the analysis of the borrowers’ creditworthiness: Ukrainian and World experience
Authors: Khomenko Inna , Sadchykova Iryna , Krasnianska Yuliia
Published: May 2019

Introduction. Non-repayment of loans by borrowers not only jeopardizes the profitability of banking structures, but also the ability to calculate them under liabilities - deposit and borrowed funds. This situation is dangerous for the entire banking sector of the country, as it raises a number of acute problems: imbalance of loan and deposit portfolio by volumes and terms; distrust of the population to commercial banks, financial destabilization in the state as a whole, and others like that.
Aim and tasks. The main purpose of this work is to study modern domestic and foreign approaches to assessing the creditworthiness of borrowers.
Results. Based on the analysis of the definitions it is expedient to use the following interpretation of the term "creditworthiness": the financial, economic and legal capacity of the borrower to obtain a loan and return it to the commercial bank in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement. At the initial stages of the methodologies developing for the analysis of borrowers' lending, the leading role was played by the coefficient method, which by its nature is considered the simplest and is currently used as an express evaluation and preceded by other research. Currently, almost all commercial banks use a rating approach to assess the borrower's creditworthiness. Such methods also include calculation of coefficients, but contain a predictive component. The rating approach is valuable, because it requires a constant collection of updated information. Often, banks when building credit ratings use the methods of the relevant agencies. It is now believed that the formation of credit ratings allows you to get the most general idea of the borrower's creditworthiness (at the level of the commercial bank) and about the quality of the loan portfolio (at the level of the banking system of the state). Moreover, when assessing the creditworthiness of borrowers – individuals, the rating approach is most often used.
Conclusions. The conducted studies indicate that improving approaches to assessing the creditworthiness of borrowers by commercial banks is particularly relevant for Ukraine. It is important to carry out measures (including administrative) in order to increase the reliability of the input information of borrowers, training of specialized specialists – experts, assessment of qualitative data on the debtor, formation of constantly updated statistical databases, adjustment of methodological developments taking into consideration the variability of the economic situation in Ukraine, ensuring transparency of the analysis, etc.
The Israeli Diaspora in Berlin
Authors: Remennick Larissa
Published: May 2019

In this ethnographic essay, I reflect on the origins and present
condition of the new (post-2010) Israeli diaspora in Berlin. Based on
10 months of participant observation, I map out the main sub-streams of
this emigration; elicit the economic, professional, and political reasons
for leaving Israel; and explore these émigrés’ initial encounter with
German society. My observations suggest that many Israeli residents of
Berlin (mostly secular) rediscover their Jewishness along diasporic lines
and forge ties with the local religious and community organizations.
Being a small minority in the German-speaking milieu, Israelis invest
in building their own Hebrew-based community networks, including
media outlets and cultural and educational institutions. Lastly, I explore
these émigrés’ ties with Israel and conclude that many Israelis in Berlin
are sojourners rather than immigrants and that Berlin is but one phase
in their life journey.

Published: May 2019

OBJECTIVE

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are standard of care for the assessment of functional impairment. Subjective outcome measures are increasingly complemented by objective ones, such as the “Timed Up and Go” (TUG) test. Currently, only a few studies report pre- and postoperative TUG test assessments in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).

METHODS

A prospective two-center database was reviewed to identify patients with LSS who underwent lumbar decompression with or without fusion. The subjective functional status was estimated using PROMs for pain (visual analog scale [VAS]), disability (Roland-Morris Disability Index [RMDI] and Oswestry Disability Index [ODI]), and health-related quality of life (HRQoL; 12-Item Short-Form Physical Component Summary [SF-12 PCS] and the EQ-5D) preoperatively, as well as on postoperative day 3 (D3) and week 6 (W6). Objective functional impairment (OFI) was measured using age- and sex-standardized TUG test results.

RESULTS

Sixty-four patients (n = 32 [50%] male, mean age 66.8 ± 11.7 years) were included. Preoperatively, they reported a mean VAS back pain score of 4.1 ± 2.7, VAS leg pain score of 5.4 ± 2.7, RMDI of 10.4 ± 5.3, ODI of 41.9 ± 16.2, SF-12 PCS score of 32.7 ± 8.3, and an EQ-5D index of 0.517 ± 0.226. The preoperative rates of severe, moderate, and mild OFI were 4.7% (n = 3), 12.5% (n = 8), and 7.8% (n = 5), respectively, and the mean OFI T-score was 116.3 ± 23.7. At W6, 60 (93.8%) of 64 patients had a TUG test result within the normal population range (no OFI); 3 patients (4.7%) had mild and 1 patient (1.6%) severe OFI. The mean W6 OFI T-score was significantly decreased (103.1 ± 13.6; p < 0.001). Correspondingly, the PROMs showed a decrease in subjective VAS back pain (1.6 ± 1.7, p < 0.001) and leg pain (1.0 ± 1.8, p < 0.001) scores, disability (RMDI 5.3 ± 4.7, p < 0.001; ODI 21.3 ± 16.1, p < 0.001), and increase in HRQoL (SF-12 PCS 40.1 ± 8.3, p < 0.001; EQ-5D 0.737 ± 0.192, p < 0.001) at W6. The W6 responder status (clinically meaningful improvement) ranged between 81.3% (VAS leg pain) and 29.7% (EQ-5D index) of patients.

CONCLUSIONS

The TUG test is a quick and easily applicable tool that reliably measures OFI in patients with LSS. Objective tests incorporating longer walking time should be considered if OFI is suspected but fails to be proven by the TUG test, taking into account that neurogenic claudication may not clinically manifest during the brief TUG examination. Objective tests do not replace the subjective PROM-based assessment, but add valuable information to a comprehensive patient evaluation.
Using International Ranks and Business Activity Indicators for Economic Development Forecasting
Authors: Puhachova M. V.
Published: May 2019

The majority of countries use several well-known integral indicators for economic forecasting purposes, on which basis these countries’ ranks in the global economic community are computed. Apart from allowing investors to make investment decisions, such indicators and ranks help in forecasting economic development in forthcoming periods. The best known of them is Ease of Doing Business Index and Global Competitiveness Index.

The less known ones are indicators of Business Tendency Surveys (BTS), computed on the basis of data obtained from questionings of enterprise managers in various economic sectors and from studies of consumer sentiments. Yet, specialists tend to use the data from these conjuncture surveys to analyze the current economic situation in a country (total or by industry) and build short-term forecasts.

Apart from the survey indicators depicting quite clearly a situation in the economy, the most popular ones in Europe are Confidence Indicators for enterprises by economic activity, and Economic Sentiment Indicator incorporating the indicators from BTS of enterprises and consumer sentiments. These indicators are computed by the European Commission for EU member countries on monthly basis.

The article shows changes in Doing Business ranks for selected EU member countries and Ukraine. BTS indicators for industrial enterprises (estimate of production capacities; estimate of change in the production orders; estimate of the competitive position of enterprises at the internal market) are analyzed for some of these countries. A comparison of the dynamics of production capacities utilization, business confidence indicators and Doing Business rank is made for Ukraine and Bulgaria. The prognosticating capacities of BTS indicators compared with Doing Business indicator are analyzed.

Feasts and Famine: Modern Misconceptions of the Ancient Roman Diet
Authors: Logeson Zachary Silas , Rea Jennifer
Published: May 2019

Ancient sources, modern scholarship, and modern popular media have misled audiences about the truth of the typical diet of the Roman lower strata. Modern movies and books, as well as ancient satire, a popular cultural medium of its time, put forth a stereotype of the lifestyle of rich citizens of Imperial Rome as contrasted with the poor Romans’ humble fare. Modern media, influenced by ancient satire, plays into stereotypes of the Imperial Romans stuffing themselves on dormice and grapes while their servants go hungry. The misconception in modern media may be created by a misreading of ancient satire, which is critical in nature. When the critical aspect of satire is misinterpreted, the elaborate and excessive meals are taken at face value rather than read as symbolic. In ancient satires, the depictions of both simple meals and fantastic banquets are exaggerated and must be interpreted as symbolic of the character serving or eating the meal.Modern representations of the ancient Romans’ diet, inaccurately influenced by ancient literature such as the satires of Horace, Juvenal, and Petronius, differ from recent findings of archaeologists in Herculaneum and Pompeii. The modern misrepresentation seems to come from a mistake in equating the food symbolic of the Roman upper strata with high nutritional value as well as equating the food symbolic of the lower strata to low nutritional value. An analysis of the food depictions in ancient literature and recent archeological findings suggest that poor Romans ate a healthier and more varied diet than is commonly believed.
Molecular Studies of Candidate Gene Somatic Mutations in Human Schwannoma Tumors
Authors: Martinez Amanda Victoria
Published: May 2019

Schwannomas are benign Schwann cell tumors on the peripheral nerves that occur in the autosomal dominant conditions of NF2 (neurofibromatosis type 2) or schwannomatosis. NF2 is caused by germline mutations in the NF2 gene, and patients can form tumors when the remaining normal gene copy is mutated. In schwannomatosis, two genes are known to have germline mutations: SMARCB1 and LZTR1, both near the NF2 gene on chromosome 22. Schwannomas in schwannomatosis have variable somatic deletions of multiple genes, and the tumors also have a risk of becoming malignant. These tumors can cause deformities, functional problems, substantial pain, and even lead to death. Schwannomas are difficult to treat because surgery involves cutting the affected nerves. There are currently no drug therapies, and due to the paucity of cell cultures and cell lines, there is a lack of molecular and cell biology data about schwannomas. The goal of this work was to better characterize a set of 20 tumors, to contribute information helpful in developing more targeted therapies. This involved loss of heterozygosity study using polymorphisms in or near the genes NF2, LZTR1 and SMARCB1 to identify somatic deletions. DNA sequencing of SMARCB1 exons was also carried out to search for germline and somatic mutations. This work revealed several mutations that contribute new knowledge to the field.
Understanding the Needs of Incoming College Freshmen: The Parent Perspective
Authors: Harris Paige Monet , Radunovich Heidi
Published: May 2019

In the last few years, there has been an increase in reported difficulties related to adjusting to college. While work has been done to analyze how college students perceive themselves related to several domains, such as mental health and physical fitness, there is little research to examine parental perception of college student functioning during the transition into college. Furthermore, there is reason to believe that students may differ in their perceived readiness for college based on their gender and socioeconomic status (SES). Using an anonymous survey, this study examined the extent to which 714 parents of students at the University of Florida perceived their college student as being prepared for university life on the domains of time management, social and emotional functioning, and general life skills. ANOVA analyses were conducted to determine group differences. Overall, significant differences by gender were found, with female students outscoring their male peers in many areas, as reported by their parents. Surprisingly, very few significant differences were found based on SES. Where there were differences, the low SES group outperformed their high SES counterparts. As universities consider the needs of incoming students, they may wish to be more intentional with how they target specific populations.
