Authors: Dwiyanti Dinda , Wicaksono Agung Prasetyo Nugroho , Ulum Ihyaul
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the internal control system, whistleblowing system, and organizational commitment to fraud through individual morality as moderation. This research is associative descriptive research. The population used is all permanent employees of Bank BNI Tulungagung with a sampling form of convenience sampling set by the researcher as many as 55 respondents. The analysis method of this research is PLS analysis through SEM approach by utilizing SmartPLS 3.0 software. The results showed that the internal control system had a significant effect on fraud prevention. However, the whistleblowing system and organizational commitment do not affect fraud prevention. Individual morality weakens the relationship of the internal control system to fraud prevention.
Zur »Banalität des Bösen« (Ahrendt) in Feldern der Heil- und Sonderpädagogik
Authors: Feuser Georg
Published: July 2022

Der in Feldern der Heilund Sonderpädagogik immer wieder scheinbar symptomatisch auftretende und nur auf Einzelfälle bezogene und nach außen mit Bedauern beklagte Machtmissbrauch »ent-setzt« das Recht (Agamben) und missachtet die Würde von in diesen Feldern lebenden, lernenden, arbeitenden und wohnenden Menschen. Die Fokussierung auf den Einzelfall lenkt in geschickter Weise von der Erkenntnis ab, dass die in herrschaftsförmigen Verhältnissen personaler und institutioneller Gewalt sich ausdrückenden Machtverhältnisse denen gegenüber, für die das Fach und die Institutionen eine anerkennungsbasierte fürsorgliche, protektive und auch advokatorische Funktion einzunehmen hätten, nicht nur konstitutive Komponenten des Systems als solches sind, sondern ihr ureigener ideologischer Untergrund und Überbau zugleich. In ihnen verzahnen sich die herrschenden gesellschaftlichen Vorstellungen, die sich im »Staatsgeist« (Bourdieu) widerspiegeln, wie sie gleichwohl von diesem geschaffen und zum intrinsisch wirksam werdenden Habitus des Individuellen und zum Kitt gesellschaftlicher Übereinkünfte werden. Das resultiert in »Nebelbildungen im Gehirn«, die eine Heilund Sonderpädagogik als Wissenschaft konstituieren und ihre Handlungsfelder institutionalisieren, ohne der Dialektik der Exklusionsund Inklusionsprozesse als ihnen innewohnende Machtverhältnisse und Herrschaftsstrukturen gewahr zu werden. Das Fach selbst ist ein Artefakt dieser Verhältnisse, dessen zentrale Aufgabe die euphemische Banalisierung der Tragik ihrer gesellschaftlichen Wirklichkeit zu sein scheint.
Exklusionssphären und (k)ein Ende
Authors: Reichstein Martin F.
Published: July 2022

Das heutige Angebotsspektrum wohnbezogener Hilfen für Menschen mit Behinderung umfasst ein breites Spektrum vom Wohnen in Großeinrichtungen bis hin zum Leben in einer eigenen Wohnung bei gleichzeitiger Betreuung durch einen Fachdienst des Ambulant betreuten Wohnens. In diesem Zusammenhang ist grundsätzlich festzuhalten, dass die Mehrzahl der Hilfen für Menschen mit sogenannter geistiger Behinderung in diesem Bereich nach wie vor in gemeinschaftlichen Wohnformen erbracht wird. Es kann daher vermutet werden, dass im Bereich der wohnbezogenen Eingliederungshilfe nach wie vor Vorstellungen dahingehend vorhanden sind, dass bestimmte Zielgruppen nicht außerhalb institutionalisierter Formen wohnbezogener Hilfen unterstützt werden können. Dies gilt insbesondere für Menschen mit komplexem Unterstützungsbedarf. In diesem Zusammenhang besteht – so die im vorliegenden Beitrag entwickelte These – die Gefahr, dass sich systemisch und systematisch »Exklusionssphären« entwickeln bzw. entwickelt haben. Im Rahmen des vorliegenden Beitrags werden sozialwissenschaftliche Erklärungsansätze für das Auftreten solcher Sphären thematisiert. Zudem werden deren Auswirkungen auf die individuelle Lebenswirklichkeit ihrer Bewohner:innen diskutiert. Dabei wird auf eine qualitative explorative Fallstudie des Verfassers Bezug genommen. Der Beitrag schließt mit einer Einschätzung zu Veränderungsperspektiven im Lichte aktuelle Diskussionen, Initiativen und Skandale.
Experimental Validation of an In Vitro Method for Assessing Insulin-Dependent Glucose Uptake
Authors: Afanasyeva A. N. , Saparova V. B. , Makarenko I. E. , Drai R. V. , Selmenskikh T. A.
Published: July 2022

Russian and international regulatory documents require that analytical procedures for establishing bioequivalence and comparability of quality attributes of biotechnological (biological) products, carrying out batch release of medicinal products, and conducting other equally  important in  vitro  studies must be  validated. These in vitro studies include molecule–receptor binding and product bioactivity assays. However, at present, there is no single approach to validation of in vitro bioanalytical methods not involving the determination of active ingredient concentrations in biological fluids. The aim of the work was to validate a procedure for assessing insulin-dependent glucose uptake and demonstrate the suitability of GOD-PAP GLUCOSE kits for glucose determination in culture media. Materials and methods: The study used RinFast® insulin aspart by Geropharm, Russia; a placebo for insulin aspart; the L6J1 rat myogenic cell line; and a GOD-PAP GLUCOSE kit for quantitative determination of glucose. The study was carried out on differentiated cells cultured for 7 days. To encourage L6J1 differentiation, the authors used DMEM with 4.5 g/L glucose and 2% horse serum. The statistical analysis of results was performed using Prism 9. Results: The study demonstrated the analytical procedure’s specificity, as the concentration of residual glucose in the culture medium observed with the placebo was 4 times higher than that with the maximum concentration of the medicinal product. The determination of precision showed the repeatability of 4–9% and the intralaboratory precision of 11–16%. The coefficient of variation for robustness amounted to 14% in 4 independent experiments comprising a total of 9 analytical runs. The authors compared insulin products (the insulin aspart and a genetically engineered human  insulin),  and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values differed by 1.5 times. For the GOD-PAP GLUCOSE kit, the linear regression coefficient  of  determination was 0.9983, the sensitivity amounted to 1 mmol/ L, and the accuracy ranged between 95% and 107%. Conclusions: the procedure using L6J1 rat myoblasts as  a test system may be considered specific, highly precise, and robust in assessing insulin-dependent glucose uptake and suitable for detecting biological activity   of insulin preparations in vitro.

Published: July 2022

According to current regulatory views, a comparative study of the pharmacodynamics (PD) of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) products and confirmation of their equivalence require comparing three PD markers: the anti-Xa activity, the anti-IIa activity, and the tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) concentration. The aim of this study was to analyse the features specific to the bioanalytical part of an equivalence study of a nadroparin calcium biosimilar after single subcutaneous administration. Material and methods: the anti-Xa and anti-IIa activity values and TFPI content were determined in human plasma samples obtained after single subcutaneous administration of the test and the reference product in the same dose, using commercially available reagent kits and pre-validated assays. The authors calculated the main PD parameters (surrogate pharmacokinetic markers), namely the maximum activity or concentration (Amax or Cmax), time to maximum activity or concentration (Tmax), area under the activity–time (or concentration–time) curve (AUC ), and half-life period (T1/2), by means of model-independent statistical moment analysis and carried out further statistical testing of the parameters. Results: the anti-Xa activity and TFPI concentration results provided for  the  possibility  of  calculating  and  comparing  the PD parameters (Amax or Cmax, AUC0-24, AUC0-∞, Tmax, T1/2) and estimating the confidence intervals that are necessary to confirm the bioequivalence of the studied products. The anti-IIa activity data had a characteristic pattern of slight fluctuations around one level, which prevented the calculation and comparison of PD parameters. Conclusion: the study identified specific features to consider when planning comparative PD studies of nadroparin calcium products. Firstly, it is feasible to divide samples into two test aliquots (one for anti-Xa and anti-IIa activity determination, the other for TFPI analysis) at the moment of collection in order to perform the analytical step correctly. Secondly, there is no need in full validation for the bioanalytical assays of the anti-Xa and anti-II activity and TFPI content in human plasma validated in the concentration ranges of 0.024–0.182 IU/mL, 0.0069–0.052 IU/mL and 1.56–100 ng/mL, respectively; a confirmation that the active ingredient does not interfere with the analytical procedure is adequate for the purpose. Finally, the data obtained may not allow for calculating PD parameters and comparing confidence intervals for all three markers. The listed considerations may be relevant for other LMWH products as well.
Violence against children in family settings during the COVID-19 outbreak in Croatia
Authors: Rittossa Dalida
Published: July 2022

In recent times, humanity has experienced the devastating effects of the COVID-19 crisis, which has caused sharp ruptures in different spheres of social life. Detrimental effects of the almost unprecedented crisis have triggered an avalanche of research to explore the phenomenon in focus while conducting scientific investigation that matters. Despite the rapid influx of scholarly articles, recent literature has shown that there is still a remarkable lack of scholarly attention on disasters and their impact on children. While trying to contribute to and address the noted research gap, to the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study that explores pathways to violence against children in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic in Croatia with a focus on the national lockdown. The sample consisted of 63 randomly selected police files involving 65 suspects of criminal offences with elements of violence against 108 closely related children at the five police departments centred in Pula, Rijeka, Zagreb, Split and Osijek. In order to “capture” the violence that emerged during the lockdown and was reported after restrictive measures were lifted, a seven-month time frame (March–September, 2020) was implemented as an additional sampling parameter. The study has revealed that most children repeatedly experience multiple forms of violence within the family that are damaging to their health and wellbeing. Infringement of child’s rights was the most prevalent principal offence allegedly committed to the detriment of both boys and girls who were mostly primary-schoolers. Similarly, consistent with previous findings, the study demonstrated that in most cases, alleged abusers are first-time suspected fathers in their 30s with high school education and average financial assets. This calls for future research and the implementation of effective preventive measures to improve family resilience in the face of disasters yet to come.

Mjere poduzete za suzbijanje širenja koronavirusa uvelike su utjecale na dobrobit i ponašanje ljudi, što je dovelo do vjerojatnosti porasta nasilja u obitelji, posebice nasilja nad ženama. U našem članku predstavljamo analizu policijskih podataka o prijavljenim slučajevima obiteljskog nasilja, koju smo proveli s ciljem uočavanja potencijalnih promjena u učestalosti obiteljskog nasilja koje se događalo u tom razdoblju. U usporedbi s desetogodišnjim prosjekom, prijave o ‘nasilju u obitelji’ kao kaznenom djelu bile su prosječne 2020., ali su bile oko 20 % manje u 2021. Broj prekršaja nasilja u obitelji bio je gotovo prosječan u 2020., dok je 2021. bio manji. Broj izrečenih mjera zabrane približavanja u 2020. i 2021. bio je blizu desetogodišnjeg prosjeka. U razdoblju od 11 tjedana prvog i drugog razdoblja ograničene slobode kretanja broj većine uočenih kaznenih djela i prekršaja bio je veći. Zabrane približavanja su u tim razdobljima izricane i kršene u manjem broju. Ovi su rezultati potvrđeni nizom t-testa. U razdoblju izolacije povećan je broj prijava nasilja u obitelji (kao kaznenog djela i prekršaja), dok je smanjen broj policijskih zabrana prilaska.
COVID-19 pandemic and intimate partner violence

Relatively few studies have addressed the impact of the COVID- 19 pandemic on IPV shelters and their staff. In this study, we conducted interviews with IPV shelter staff to examine 1) how shelters changed their work during the pandemic; 2) how staff described the occurrence of and response to vicarious trauma; and 3) what staff learned from their experience with the pandemic crisis. Three main themes emerged from the data. They include the following: 1) changes in organisational working conditions during the pandemic; 2) emotional challenges; and 3) positive effects of the pandemic. As in other countries, the pandemic in Croatia brought numerous challenges but also opportunities. Shelter staff demonstrated their strengths and commitment to supporting IPV victims during the pandemic. Their experiences should be used to develop an effective response to future crises.
COVID-19 and criminal justice
Authors: Trapella Francesco
Published: July 2022

The current sanitary emergency is not an unexpected event. At the beginning of 2020, COVID took the world by surprise; now, at the end of 2021, it is a problem we have to live with. The pandemic changed the notion of vulnerability, and it is necessary to equip support structures for the weakest subjects. The thesis is also confirmed in the relationship between criminal authority and people who, for various reasons, come into contact with it and who, due to the health measures, are in a situation of particular isolation and potential danger in terms of their own psycho-physical integrity. The concept of vulnerability takes on a new meaning: public authority has to take charge of the claims derived (albeit indirectly) from the health emergency. The inert conduct of states is reprehensible: it causes irreparable damage to individual rights, protected by supranational sources.

Suicide-related Thoughts and Behaviors among International Students
Authors: Qi Chang
Published: July 2022

Suicide-related thoughts and behaviors (SBTs) are a major public health issue across the world and are still an upward trend. Though countless researchers focused on this topic, examined many risk factors, and developed various theories, the study focus on international students (IS) is sparse. To provide a broad view of the suicide-relevant factors and theories of those IS and call more researchers' attention to their mental health and SBTs, we conducted a systematic review. This included 16 studies from 2002 to 2022. Belongingness (family, friends, and campus), discrimination, and mental health disorders are the most commonly researched outcomes associated with SBTs among IS. However, we found out it still lacks the specific suicide risk factors that target IS and cultural-tailored suicide prevention and interventions. Future researchers, psychological professionals, and faculty should develop more studies to pay more attention to them.

Unravelling values and wellbeing – disentangling within- and between-person dynamics via a psychometric network perspective
Authors: Fischer Ronald , Karl Johannes Alfons
Published: July 2022

There have been long-standing debates on the relationships between values as important motivational goals and wellbeing. We used a longitudinal network perspective to examine how value states and wellbeing are related over time, separating within-person lagged, within-person contemporaneous and between-person perspectives. A total of 227 young adults (1007 observation points) participated in the study and rated their values states and wellbeing over a six-day period. Value-wellbeing linkages varied across levels of analysis for participants who reported at least three times (N = 187). Momentary self-transcendence values predicted both simultaneous and subsequent wellbeing. The motivationally opposing self-enhancement values negatively related to wellbeing contemporaneously within person. This supports clinical research emphasising that pursuing other-focused values increases wellbeing and highlights the importance of values for wellbeing. At the same time, individual differences in self-transcendence values were negatively related to wellbeing, supporting previous value models. In line with self-determination theory, openness-to-change values were related to wellbeing at both the within- and between-person level. These patterns unify diverging theoretical positions, and suggest that different dynamics operate across levels (within-person lagged or contemporaneous vs between-person). We also provide new insights into value dynamics by describing how distributions of value states may give rise to more stable value differences between individuals. Overall, within- and between-person associations differed suggesting greater attention to person-level processes is needed.
THINGSplus: New Norms and Metadata for the THINGS Database of 1,854 Object Concepts and 26,107 Natural Object Images
Authors: Stoinski Laura Mai , Perkuhn Jonas , Hebart Martin N
Published: July 2022

To study visual object processing, the need for well-curated object concepts and images has grown significantly over the past years. To address this we have previously developed THINGS (Hebart et al., 2019), a large-scale database of 1,854 systematically sampled object concepts with 26,107 high-quality naturalistic images of these concepts. With THINGSplus we aim to extend THINGS by adding concept-specific and image-specific norms and metadata. Concept-specific norms were collected for all 1,854 object concepts for the object properties real-world size, manmadeness, preciousness, liveliness, heaviness, naturalness, ability to move, graspability, holdability, ability to be moved, pleasantness, and arousal. Further, we extended high-level categorization to 53 superordinate categories and collected typicality ratings for members of all 53 categories. Image-specific metadata includes measures of nameability for objects in all 26,107 images. To this end, we asked participants to provide labels for prominent objects depicted in each of the 26,107 images and measured the alignment with the original object concept. Finally, to present example images in publications without copyright restrictions, we identified one new public domain image per object concept. In this study we demonstrate a high consistency of property (r = 0.92-0.99, M = 0.98, SD = 0.34) and typicality ratings (r = 0.88-0.98; M = 0.96, SD = 0.19), with arousal ratings as the only exception (r = 0.69). Correlations of our data with external norms were moderate to high for object properties (r = 0.44-0.95; M = 0.85, SD = 0.32) and typicality scores (r = 0.72-0.88; M = 0.79, SD = 0.18), again with the lowest validity for arousal (r = 0.30 - 0.52). To summarize, THINGSplus provides a broad, externally-validated extension to existing object norms and an important extension to THINGS as a general resource of object concepts, images, and category memberships. Our norms, metadata, and images provide a detailed selection of stimuli and control variables for a wide range of research interested in object processing and semantic memory.
A signal-detection account of item-based and ensemble-based visual change detection: A reply to Harrison, McMaster, and Bays
Authors: Azarov Daniil , Grigorev Daniil , Utochkin Igor
Published: July 2022

Growing empirical evidence shows that ensemble information (e.g., the average feature or feature variance of a set of objects) affects visual working memory for individual items. Recently, Harrison, McMaster, and Bays (2021) used a change detection task to test whether observers explicitly rely on ensemble representations to improve their memory for individual objects. They found that sensitivity to simultaneous changes in all memorized items (which also entail changes in set summary statistics) rarely exceeded a level predicted by the so-called optimal summation model. This model implies simple integration of evidence for change from all individual items but without any additional evidence coming from ensemble. Here, we argue that performance at the optimal summation level does not rule out the use of ensemble information. First, in two experiments, we show that, even if evidence from only one item is available at test, the statistics of the whole memory set affect performance. Second, we argue that the optimal decision strategy described by Harrison et al. is at least partly ensemble-based, whereas a strictly item-based strategy (the so-called minimum rule) predicts much lower sensitivity that both our and Harrison et al. (2021)’s observers consistently outperformed. We conclude that observers can encode ensemble information into working memory and rely on it at test.
From visual fantasies to bodily trajectories: The insular epistemology of around-the-island journeys in Taiwan cinema
Authors: Jessie Ssu-Fang Liu
Published: July 2022

Through the lens of the around-the-island journey, this study articulates the geopolitical and sensory turns in contemporary Taiwan, inspecting how the new modality of feelings connotes different political declarations and epistemological paradigms from those in the past. From the Qing Empire, through the Japanese colonial period and to the early martial law period, the island of Taiwan was visually discovered and imagined by exterior political regimes. These foreign travellers’ around-the-island journeys ‘virtualized’ the geographical knowledge through visually syndicating the island and the suzerainties’ political centre into a single entity: either prolonging it as the extended territory of imperial Japan or conflating it with the continent of China. However, the current fetish of around-the-island trips arising in the 2000s represents a tendency of bypassing such visual domination and instead demands a traveller’s poignant bodily engagement and sensory explorations to ‘actualize’ the material knowledge of the island. Through comparing around-the-island movies in the martial and post martial law periods, this study examines how insular epistemology is produced and national identity is generated in sensorium cinema.
Vietnamese-American Diaspora Engagement in Homeland Development: Reciprocities, Potentials, and Challenges
Authors: Nguyen Nguyen Le Hanh
Published: July 2022

This article explores the reciprocal relationship between Vietnam and its diaspora in the United States, and suggests that they have adopted a “reconciliatory approach” to promote development progress within the context of transnational interactions triggered by globalization. The diaspora acts reactively to the home state’s responses, but proactively to its capacity for effective communication and negotiation. Conversely, the home state at first acts reactively toward transnational interactions and then gradually adopts expatriate-oriented policies to proactively steer diaspora engagement for development impacts. Reciprocal interactions help to expand the scope of diaspora engagement from low- to high-level transnational practices, which go beyond income-based and material supports and center on social development aiming to improve the wellbeing of every individual in Vietnamese society. These reactions may also push for further policy change in the home country and result in improved institutional conditions in which deeper contributions of the diaspora could be expected for the consolidation of peace and development in a post-conflict society.
Engaging Children and Young People in the Co-Production of Memory and Culture through Multimodal Ethnographic Research
Authors: Moraitopoulou Elina
Published: July 2022

Despite the changing perception of children’s role in public discourse and the acknowledgement of their right to both agency and participation, the persistent marginalization of children’s views and experiences in the making of public memory and culture needs to be further addressed across disciplinary boundaries. Drawing on research from childhood and memory studies, this article explores how multimodal ethnographic experimentations can be used to invite children and young people to be research partners and co-creators of public memory and culture about the things that concern them. I discuss the Connectors Study, and the Children’s Photography Archive, as an illustrative case example of engaging children in cultural work through research and draw on the premises within this study to suggest an experimental methodology that invites school students as co-creators of educational memory. I argue for an explicit use of multimodality as a research practice that mediates and facilitates children and young people’s memory-making in the present, while creating a framework that recognizes them as co-creators of culture and public memory-making.
Dark Pedagogies in Comparative Perspective: Remembering Institutional Child Abuse
Authors: Wüstenberg Jenny
Published: July 2022

This article sketches three cases of institutional child abuse in different historical contexts and places—St. Michael’s Residential School in Alert Bay (Canada), Parramatta Girls’ Home in Sydney (Australia), and the Closed Juvenile Detention Center in Torgau (German Democratic Republic). I propose Katharina Rutschky’s concept of “dark pedagogy” to analyze the striking similarities in the methods and justification of treatment of children, in the experiences that survivors describe, and in the nature of commemoration. This concept can help us see how the extremes of violence and the techniques of control in “care” facilities that were common across the profiled cases are immersed in similar norms governing the social roles of children and adults. My core argument is that institutional child abuse—because of its systemic nature, its embeddedness in the modernist project, and the resulting stigmas—has lead to similar challenges and practices in confronting and memorializing these histories.

Characteristics, institutional behaviour, and post-release outcomes of federal Veteran and non-Veteran men offenders
Authors: MacDonald Shanna Farrell , Cram Sarah , Derkzen Dena , Pound Teresa , Mooz Mike
Published: July 2022

LAY SUMMARY

Incarcerated Veterans represent 2.5% of the federal offender population and are a unique subset of the general Canadian Veteran population. This study provides the first in-depth examination of Veteran offenders in federal custody. During the study period, 374 federal offenders self-reported as Veterans. Federal Veteran offenders were older and more likely to have committed a violent offence and to have mental health concerns. Although they were more likely to report mental health concerns, Veteran offenders have more stable institutional behaviour and greater post-release success than non-Veterans. Understanding the unique characteristics and correctional experiences of federal Veteran offenders aids in identifying needs related to intervention and support to promote successful community reintegration after release. Future qualitative research should enhance knowledge of the lived experiences of Veterans involved in the federal criminal justice system in Canada.
Mediating role of dyadic satisfaction on social support and health outcomes in a sample of military family caregivers
Authors: Wilcox Sherrie
Published: July 2022

LAY SUMMARY

Military family caregivers (MFCs) can experience many health-related challenges associated with caregiving responsibilities. Perceived support from a spouse or partner can influence dyadic satisfaction and health outcomes among those who care for a spouse or partner. This study examined the relations among social support, dyadic satisfaction, and mental (i.e., depressive and anxiety symptoms) and physical (i.e., somatic symptoms) health outcomes in a sample of MFCs. This sample consisted of 104 MFCs who were the spouse or partner of their care recipient. The findings indicate that more support predicted greater dyadic satisfaction and greater dyadic satisfaction predicted fewer anxiety symptoms. This study highlights the importance of considering relationship-focused contributors to mental health outcomes.

Polymer flooding is a promising and effective chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (cEOR) technology. Polymer flooding is especially cost-effective, whereas other chemical flooding methods, such as Alkaline Surfactant Polymer (ASP), are not profitable and cause serious on-site problems (scaling, uptime decrease, injectivity is-sue, hard-breaking emulsions). Recent papers in the literature mention ~30 field polymer floods. Most of them reported technical success. Although, polymer flooding has been applied ~60 years and it still requires further investigation to provide improvements. Thus, this paper describes important aspects and performances during polymer flooding based on a review of recent projects, combined with the Kalamkas field experience. A comprehensive literature review examines the applicability range in temperature, brine salinity, water source selection, oil properties, formation type, and permeability. Water source selection has an essential role during pilot/field project design and is one of the most responsible technical and economic success decisions. Polymer slug design has been extensively analyzed especially for the high viscosity oil fields; the selected oil/polymer viscosity ratio was usually much less than one. We placed significant emphasis on clarifying ob-served high polymer injectivities. We conducted feasibility studies of some reported ASP floods to clarify that this technology is not profitable at current oil prices. Also, we performed TAN analysis of three Kazakh-stan oil fields for screening of ASP flood.

Published: July 2022

The purpose of this study is to find out what factors that affect the land prices, as well as researching the straight line distance or the distance of travel to public facilities stronnger to influence the land prices. The results of this study are necessary to improve the method of determination of the assessment (the value of tax object used by Indonesia's property tax or Nilai Jual Obyek Pajak called NJOP) used in collection all property taxes in the city ofBogor. The data used in this study was 41 vacant lot in area ofBogor Barat, which has been traded throughout the last six months in 2013. Analysis tool used is the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression applied to the models of the hedonic price regression (Hedonic Price Method/HPM). Results of the study was the second model uses the distances of travel to public facilities has adjusted R2 of 0.815, is higher than the first model that uses the straight line distance with an adjusted R2 of 0.803, as well as assessment (NJOP) regression to land prices by 0.682. In the second model, five independent variables that affect the land prices are the distances to education facilities, health facilities, security facilities, terminal facilities, and characteristics of the area surrounding the location of the object of research. Adjustment of the determination of the assessment (NJOP), is expected to increase accuracy and fairness, as well as increasing the property tax revenue that results are needed to expand public utilities in the city ofBogor.
Ketimpangan Pendapatan dan Middle Income Trap
Authors: Wibowo Tri
Published: July 2022

Ketimpangan merupakan permasalahan yang lebih kompleks dibanding dengan kemiskinan. Ketimpangan yang tinggi lambat laun akan menjadi penghambat pertumbuhan ekonomi. Terhambatnya pertumbuhan ekonomi, mengakibatkan suatu negara tidak mampu keluar atau terjebak dalam kelompok pendapatan kelas menengah. Artikel ini ingin mengetahui gambaran serta posisi Indonesia dalam kelompok negara Middle Income. Metode analisis digunakan adalah metode deskriptif dalam bentuk grafis, serta penghitungan matematis sederhana. Dari hasil analisis diperoleh bahwa selama dua dasawarsa ketimpangan pendapatan di Indonesia mengalami peningkatan. Pada tahun 1990, sebesar 20 persen penduduk terkaya Indonesia (kuintil 5) menguasai 39 persen total pengeluaran seluruh penduduk. Pada tahun 2010, naik menjadi 44 persen atau sebesar 44 persen total pengeluaran berasal dari 20 persen orang terkaya di Indonesia. Meskipun demikian, posisi Indonesia relatif cukup baik bila dibandingkan dengan negara-negara yang berada dalam kelompok Lower Middle Income. Dengan kuadran kartesius, Indonesia berada pada kelompok negara dengan kriteria GNI per kapita tinggi dan ketimpangan yang rendah.

Źródła prawa, w tym te dotyczące bezpośrednio siły wyższej, w zasadzie na ten temat milczą. Zaraza nie była zatem typowym przykładem siły wyższej w ujęciu jurydycznym. Przyczyną tego milczenia mógł być wąski zakres zastosowania samej koncepcji siły wyższej. Reskrypt Dioklecjana z 290 r. dotyczący testamentu sporządzanego w okresie zarazy stanowi najważniejsze ze źródeł prawa potwierdzających tezę, że była uważana za siłę wyższą.
Zbawienie - zmaganie o Boże oblicze na twarzy Kaina (Rdz 4,1-16)
Authors: Pikor Wojciech
Published: July 2022

Tra le diverse parole-chiavi della narrazione su Caino e Abele (Gen 4,1-16) si nota il termine «volto» (paneh) riferito a Caino (vv.5.6), a Dio (vv.14.16) e alla terra (v.14). Il passaggio dal volto «abbassato» al volto «alzato», oltre a costituire la trama dellazione, diventa immagine delluomo sulla cui faccia risplende il volto di Dio. La prima parte dello studio si concentra sul senso dellapplicazione del termine «volto» a Dio: tale antropomorfismo mette in risalto diverse modalità (guardare, parlare, ascoltare) con cui Dio entra in rapporto con la diversità del creato. Lalterità come principio della creazione divina comporta anche la differenziazione dei rapporti che si stabiliscono tra Dio e i due fratelli, Caino e Abele. La parte successiva viene dedicata al volto abbattuto di Caino: si esamina le cause e le conseguenze di tale atteggiamento. Con il volto piegato il fratello maggiore nega lalterità creata da Dio nel mondo e rifiuta di entrare in rapporto con quelli che sono diversi. Al fondo di tale relazione mancata si trova il rifiuto della diversità che penetra il suo mondo interiore di passioni e di sentimenti. Lultima parte dellanalisi invece cerca di individuare il modo in cui Caino può alzare il suo volto e, di conseguenza, entrare in rapporto con Dio, con suo fratello, con la terra e infine con se stesso. Alla luce della domanda divina riportata nel v.7 si vede che tale passaggio richiede da Caino: (1) una parola che mette in ordine («domina») il suo mondo interiore; (2) la fiducia nella parola di Dio che vede la possibilità del suo «essere buono»; (3) laccettazione del rapporto diverso di Dio con gli uomini, il quale esprime non la parzialità di Dio, bensì la sua approvazione dellalterità presente nel mondo. In questa prospettiva il racconto su Caino e Abele si presenta come una lotta di Dio per la restituzione del suo volto sulla faccia di Caino.
"Daj mi usłyszeć twój głos!" Wezwanie do zwiastowania Ewangelii w wybranych alegoriach Pieśni nad Pieśniami

L’articolo rappresenta il tentativo di un’analisi del testo biblico ispirata alla lettura figurativa e simbolica delle tradizione cristiana. Come punto di partenza abbiamo preso il commento di Alcuino al Cantico dei Cantici. In esso appaiono non poche allegorie, in cui le parole rivolte dallo Sposo alla Sposa sono state interpretate come chiamata di Cristo alla Chiesa affinchè essa intraprenda la missione di annunciare il Vangello su tutta la terra. In conseguenza a tale interpretazione si può formulare una serie di conclusioni di carattere teologico che tracciano una visione complessa e allo stesso tempo attuale di quello che agli occhi di Cristo (secondo la tradizione della Chiesa) è la chiamata all’evangelizzazione.
Kontekst interpretacji Biblii: Uniwersytet czy Kościół?
Authors: Pawłowski Zdzisław
Published: July 2022

Interpretation of the Bible is today a difficult and demanding undertaking, for it deals with a complex and multidimensional text. First, it has all characteristics of any human literary work. Second, many believers read it as a word of God. The Bibie as the human work has to be explained by means ofliterary and hislorical methods, employed mainly by biblical scholars at the universities. However, the Bible is still proclaimed in the Church as the actual word of God. This creates a serious hermeneutical problem of how to relate the scientific interpretation of the biblical texts to its kerygmatic exposition. In order to solve the problem one has to work out a new hermeneutical model that takes into account all three stages of a hermeneutical arc: understanding, explanation and appropriation.

Władza Boga nad światem a ład moralny według Księgi Hioba
Authors: Tronina Antoni
Published: July 2022

Nella cosmogonia vicino-orientale l’ordine politico si riflette in tutto il cosmo. In confronto eon tale concezzione del potere, Israele ha elaborato un altro modelio della creazione, armonizzato eon suo monoteismo rigoroso. Deutero-Isaia era propagatore precipuo di questa fede nel potere universale di Jahve. Il Libro di Giobbe, redatto nell’epoca dell’impero persiano, contiene un testimonio splendido del dibattimento sul probierna della ricompesa e della sofferenza. Immagini mitologici di combattimento delle divinità sono stati applicati ad illustrare il superamento di Jahvè sulle potenze del caos. La sapienza di Jahvè e il suo incrollabile governo guarantirono la stabilità del mondo creato e l’ordine morale. La giustizia (mishpat) divina costituisce fonadamento del potere politico e dell'ordine morale nel mondo.
Jezus wychowuje swoich uczniów w Mk 1,35-39
Authors: Kotecki Dariusz
Published: July 2022

The article focuses on the issue of Jesus as the master educator of his disciples in Mark 1:35-39. The study provided is based on the principles of narrative and contextual analysis. The article consists of three parts: (1) Analysis of Mark 1:35-39; (2) Mk 1:35-39 in the context of 1:14-20; (3) Jesus master educator in 1:35-39 in the context of the Gospel of Mark. The pericope shows a certain tension between what Jesus must accomplish in terms of his mission given by the Father and what his disciples expect from him. The attitude of Simon and his companions (Andrew, Jacob and John) is expressed in Peter’s actions (“pursued him [Jesus]”) and in the apostles’ common words: ““Everyone is looking for you” (1:37). He shows that they have not yet reached the ideal personality as proposed by Jesus, which should be expressed in the attitude of repentance and faith (cf. 1:15). Their attempt to limit Jesus’ mission to Capernaum shows also that they are not yet ready to meet the goal of their vocation i.e. become fishers of men. In such context, through his command “Let us go somewhere  else to the towns nearby, so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for” (1:38), Jesus corrects their attitude and invites them to strengthen their bond with him in the perspective of a universal mission. In this way Jesus reveals himself as an educator, who encourages his disciples by his own example and his own words (encouragement, commands, reproaches, prohibitions and questions) to absolute clinging to him.
Sens bycia dzieckiem (Mt 18,1-4)
Authors: Malina Artur
Published: July 2022

Jesus’ answer to the question of the disciples about the hierarchy in the kingdom of heaven concerns the issue of fundamental importance for the understanding of their relationship to God. The Lord asserts that the issue more important than hierarchy is the condition for entering this kingdom. The attitude of little children towards their father and their dependence on him should be imitated by the disciples. They are encouraged to have trust in God, their Father, and to experience His paternal love. This way they can also build the proper relationship with their neighbors.
„Przemija bowiem postać tego świata” (1 Kor 7,31). Dziewictwo i celibat znakiem królestwa
Authors: Bogacz Roman
Published: July 2022

The present article is an analysis of 1 Corinthians 7:1-40. It presents the relevance of the choice of one’s way of life, either in marriage or in celibacy. Considering the passing away of this life, St. Paul showed the Corinthians the value of virginity as a testimony of the Kingdom of God. According to the apostle, this particular form of life is the best preparation for the eternal life. It enables a person to completely devote his/her life to the preaching of the Kingdom. St. Paul chose this way of living in order to commit himself to the proclamation of the Gospel. Celibacy freed him from all concerns related to the providing for the family. The teachings comprised in the analyzed text are particularly relevant for Christians living in the early twenty-first century. 1 Cor 7: 29-31 is utterly opposed to the models of life preferred in the contemporary world. In light of this utterance, it is worth asking where we can be led by this world that has chosen a completely different way of living. It is no wonder that modern man is not able to understand the value of virginity and celibacy which are a call to conversion and a sign of the Kingdom that will be opposed.
Janowe rozumienie pracy Boga i człowieka. Studium zastosowania terminów ἐργάζομαι oraz ἔργον w czwartej Ewangelii
Authors: Kubiś Adam
Published: July 2022

The article deals with the concept of work as reflected in the Fourth Gospel, encompassing the two cognate lexemes ἐργάζομαι and ἔργον. The analysis is organized according to the subjects who are performing a given work, to wit: the Father, the Son, Jesus’ disciples (including Abraham) and, finally, the people hostile toward God, designated in the Gospel by the general term world. Interestingly enough, both of the studied lexemes appear in John’s Gospel only on the lips of Jesus. Additionally, as it turns out, the Johannine concept of work covers a whole range of meanings: the activity of the Father and the Son (who give life and perform judgment), the salvific mission of the Son, Jesus’ teaching and his obedience to the Father’swill, miraculous healings, human deeds in general (both good or bad), disciples’ fulfillment of God’s will, meaning primarily their faith in Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God. In a nutshell, the very essence of the work of the Father and the Son (and continued by Jesus’ disciples) can be encapsulated in the concept of salvation.
Dzieje Izraela (Mdr 10–19) jako objawienie Bożej sprawiedliwości w świetle dygresji z Mdr 12,12-22
Authors: Demitrów Andrzej
Published: July 2022

The Book of Wisdom is one of those late biblical Judaism texts that were created in the context of the creative confrontation with the Hellenic culture prevailing at that time. This confrontation concerned, among others, the basic question of faith of the chosen people, namely, the profession of the one only God who manifests his justice in the events of national and universal history. The basic event for the author of the Book of Wisdom is the exodus of Israel from Egypt, the aim of which was the entry of the chosen people into the Promised Land. On this way the nation experienced Godʼs Justice that proved to be his Grace and Mercy.
Dotyk miłosierdzia (Mk 2,1-12)

Le guarigioni operate da Gesu diventano occasione per dimostrare il suo potere sul male che opprime gli uomini. Il senso di questi miracoli non si limita alla liberazione degli uomini da mali fisici. L'autorita di liberare gli uomini dai peccati viene inquadrata nel contesto dell'attivita taumaturgica a benificio degli infermi. La direzione della trasmissione di contagiosita dall'impuro al puro, riaffermata frequentemente nella Scrittura, e invertita di cento ottanta gradi: il lebbroso invece di contaminare Gesu, diventa purificato immediatamente dopo essere toccato da lui (1,41-42). L'accusa di bestemmiare, motivata dagli scribi con l'unicita di Dio (2,6-7), deve cedere al riconoscimento della sua autorita di rimettere i peccati, avvalorata dalla guarigione del paralitico (2,8-11). Alla contestazione del suo comportamento nei confronti dei  peccatori egli rivela lo scopo di tutta la sua missione di salvezza nei loro confronti (2, 15-17).
