«Вынужденная миграция» граждан государств-противников на начальном этапе Первой мировой войны и ее отражение на страницах российской периодической печати
Authors: Николаева Елена Владимировна
Published: July 2021

Так называемое «немецкое засилье» в России в годы Первой мировой войны вызвало широкий общественный резонанс и послужило основанием для правовых ограничений всех подданных воюющих с Россией государств. В статье рассматриваются причины этого явления, вызванного не только вполне естественным отрицательным отношением к врагу, противостоявшему российской армии, но и попытками создать своеобразное единство в сфере этнических отношений. Результатом явилось появление наряду с беженцами «вынужденных мигрантов», ряды которых состояли в том числе и из российских подданных немецкого и австрийского происхождения, многие десятилетия проживавших на территории России. Российская власть в какой-то мере оценивала возможные экономические последствия подобных мер, принявших массовый характер, но, находясь под постоянным давлением со стороны общества и армейского командования, вынуждена была предпринять шаги по введению ограничительных законов в отношении «внутренних врагов».
The catechins profile and antioxidant activity in different types of green tea bags
Authors: Al-Zubaidi Ez al-Din Khazal Najm
Published: July 2021

Tea and mainly green tea as a rich source of antioxidants has been widely known for some time.  The antioxidant capacity of tea including green tea is mainly due to its catechins content.  The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the ORAC value and the catechins content. Regular and decaffeinated commercial green tea bags commonly consumed in the United Kingdom (UK) have been examined using Reversed-Phase High-pressure Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC). Teabags were purchased from different local supermarkets in the UK and extracted with natural mineral water at temperature 100°C for 9 minutes at the pre-adjusted pH 4. The level of four catechins (Epi-structured) for the thirteen types of green tea were separated and determined by HPLC analysis, i.e. ()-epigallocatechin (EGC), ()-epicatechin (EC), ()-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and ()-epicatechin gallate (ECG). The standard graphs were validated using certified reference catechins supplied by the Laboratory of the Government Chemist (LGC). The levels of total catechins and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) values varied from 34.61to 204.55 mg/g, 830.19- 4197.81 Trolox equivalents/g tea bags for thirteen types of green teas respectively. It was clear from the results of this study that there was a significant linear and positive correlation (r = 0.951, df = 12, p < 0.05) is found to exist between the total catechins contents and ORAC values. It can be concluded that the results of catechins measurements coupled to this; the well-known ORAC assay was successfully modified to measure the antioxidant capacity of the green tea extracts throughout this study. Furthermore, the higher the level of catechins the higher is the antioxidant capacity of the tea. This may stimulus consumers in selecting the type of tea and tea brewing times, exhibiting more health benefits. Nevertheless, the differences between the studied brands are owing to shelf life, production and storage conditions.

Association of sexual behaviours and premature ejaculation
Authors: Bac Nguyen Hoai , Long Hoang
Published: July 2021

Premature ejaculation (PE) is the most common reported sexual complaint in men. It is believed that PE is associated with sexual behavior such as early sexual experience, novelty of partners or frequencies of intercourse. Therefore, to examine the association of PE and sexual behaviors in men, a case-control study was conducted with a total of 418 clients Subjects were interviewed for general health status, sexual behaviors, IELT and requested to complete the premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT). DSM-IV-TR criteria were applied for the diagnosis of PE. Those who diagnosed with PE(+) and PEDT score ≥ 11 belonged to the PE group; those diagnosed with PE(-) and PEDT < 11 belonged to the non-PE group. The results indicated that no significant difference was noted regarding demographic features in the 2 groups. Normal men had a more frequent sexual life compared with PE patients (9.71 ± 6.09 and 6.62 ± 5.44 episodes of sexual intercourses per month, respectively with p < 0.001. Subjects who were single or circumcised had higher prevalence of PE than married or uncircumcised men. Multivariable logistic analysis elucidated that circumcision, number of lifetime sexual partners and sexual frequencies were associated factors of PE. In conclusion, PE is a common sexual dysfunction in men. It was found to be significantly associated with circumcision and frequencies of sexual intercourse. Medical history taking of PE patients should include these sexual behavior factors.
The correlation between sexual behaviors and sexual transmitted diseases in men
Authors: Bac Nguyen Hoai , Long Hoang
Published: July 2021

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) have been a public health issue in many developing countries, especially in Vietnam. Unsafe sex is considered to be one of the main causes to increase infected person. Therefore, we conducted a study on 3005 men who presented to the Andrology and Sexual Medicine Units of Hanoi Medical University Hospital to analyze the correlation between sexual behaviors and sexually transmitted diseases in men. The result showed that the mean age at first sex (AFS) was 21 years old. The median number of stable sexual partners was 2, the overall rate of STDs was 9.95%, in particular, the proportion of STDs in single men was higher than the married group (11.8% and 7.5%, p < 0.001), men having first intercourse before 25 years old had the rate of STDs was higher compared with their counterpart (21.1% vs. 13.2%, p = 0.002). Subjects with multiple unstable sexual partners were 2.11 times more likely to be infected with STDs, and the risk of infecting STDs would rise 6% for each additional sex partner.
MaPA and EdiPA: two analytical tools for text-sound-image interrelations in music videos
Authors: Borém Fausto
Published: July 2021

Two consecutive analytical tools are presented here: MaPA (Map of Audiovisual Performance) and EdiPA (Audiovisual Performance Edition). I introduce these tools as a possible way of organizing and representing the content of music videos as primary sources of analysis. Both tools aim at understanding the interrelationsof the trinomial text-sound-image which is fundamental to the interaction between musical performance and its context. The construction of a MaPA begins with the selection of isolated photograms or a sequence of photograms extracted from a video with the intention to show the relationships between music and staging elements (facial expressions, larger body gestures, props, lighting, camera effects, image manipulation, filming techniques etc.). The EdiPA is built to graphically highlight fundamental sound elements which are transcribed from the video with some kind of music notation (such as the traditional score, lead sheets, graphics, spectrograms etc.) over which photograms from MaPAs are overlaid with its respective video timings (in minutes and seconds) and a succinct textual information to facilitate the comprehension of the text-sound-image trinomial. The use of both analytical tools is illustrated here with various types of MaPAs and EdiPAs samples, from simple ones to more complex ones. I also propose the recognition of three types of music video recordings (illustrated here with performances of Brazilian singer Elis Regina and singer-composer Caetano Veloso), which consider the interference of the video direction and the levels of freedom and planning of the  musicians’ performance: (1) non-spontaneous performances, (2) quasi-spontaneous performances (3) spontaneous performances.
Theoretical Approaches to Musical Creativity: The Ubimus Perspective
Authors: Keller Damián , Lazzarini Victor
Published: July 2021

We tackle the theoretical implications of an emergent field of study, ubiquitous music (ubimus). Striving to place musical research within the wider field of creativity studies, this paper covers theoretical background and critical discussions of three music creativity models - a model proposed by Mannis (2014), the In-group, Out-group model (MDF - Ferraz and Keller 2014) and the ecologically grounded perspective (Keller and Lazzarini 2017). Data and on-site observations of creative activities provide the raw materials to test musical theories. Recent ubiquitous music research features multiple experimental initiatives, involving children (Pereira et al. in press), adolescents (Lima et al. 2012) or the elderly, and targeting trained musicians (Ferreira et al. 2015), novices (Miletto et al. 2011) and cognitively challenged adults. We chose three ubimus studies to exemplify empirical research that brings to light issues that have not been considered by some of the current theoretical approaches to musical creativity.

A Narrative of Dreams: Chopin’s Polonaise-Fantaisie
Authors: Klein Michael L.
Published: July 2021

This essay discusses Chopin’s Polonaise-Fantaisie from a narrative point of view, arguing that in addition to considering musical narrative as a study of affective logic, it also requires a consideration of cultural ideas at play in the music. The essay argues that in the Polonaise-Fantaisie one of the cultural oppositions involves dreaming vs. doing. This polonaise has difficulty maintaining the proper military (doing) aspect common to the genre, often falling into sections that signify dreaming. For example, a nocturne appears in the middle of the work, and various interruptions of the polonaise theme pull it away from its significations of action. The essay discusses the double apotheosis of the polonaise and nocturne themes, arguing that the work is making a statement about how dreaming and acting must come together for action to be meaningful. The essay concludes by detailing how the Polonaise-Fantaisie can prompt us to reconsider modern subjectivity, since the sections about dreaming point to a growing sense of our inner life, which was a growing concern in the nineteenth-century.
Readings of a Work: a musical analysis of All Round Me by Russell Pinkston
Authors: Gumboski Leandro , Zomer Ana Leticia Crozetta , Moreira Adriana Lopes da Cunha
Published: July 2021

In this paper, we analyze the electroacoustic composition All Round Me by Russell Pinkston. We present three main analytical aspects: (1) identification and classification of materials of each section based on Dennis Smalley’s theory of spectro-morphology and Michel Chion’s metaphorical description of sound objects; (2) representation of materials through graphical transcriptions to illustrate the structuring and transformation of these materials throughout the work; (3) narrative description based on the idea of representation of spirit-manifestations. Sonographic and spectral analyses were used as support for the spectro-morphological identification of sound objects. We sought to demonstrate that the listener of All Round Me is an active participant while being a subject of discourse, confronting throughout the aesthetic experience of the composition with the tension between life and death represented by the states of closeness and remoteness from (sound) spirit-manifestations.

Para uma Teorização da Metáfora para a Análise e Interpretação Musical
Authors: Bernardo Ana Cristina , Lopes Eduardo
Published: July 2021

Este artigo aborda o uso da metáfora como uma prática recorrente do pensar e fazer musical. Estando presente como recurso desde os primórdios da reflexão e exposição oral sobre música, a metáfora tornou-se cada vez mais embebida em todos os fazeres musicais. Com as constantes aberturas estilísticas que a música ocidental tem sofrido desde o último quartel do século XX, pensa-se cada vez mais na metáfora como ferramenta privilegiada para a realização musical. Para uma consciente teorização da metáfora musical, apresentam-se dois estudos de caso em que a metáfora serve de eficiente fio condutor que parte desde a composição, passa pela análise, e imagina-se uma interpretação.
Teoria dos Contornos e a abordagem paramétrica do frevo de rua: planejamentos e realizações musicais
Authors: Lima Flávio Fernandes de , Alves José Orlando
Published: July 2021

O artigo aborda a utilização da Teoria dos Contornos na elaboração de planejamentos composicionais e na realização musical de três peças resultantes da pesquisa desenvolvida na Tese “A Teoria dos Contornos aplicada na fusão paramétrica do frevo de rua pernambucano: inter-relações com aspectos da música de concerto do séc. XX”, defendida em agosto de 2018 pelo primeiro autor do presente trabalho. Iniciamos o artigo com um histórico resumido sobre aspectos da referida teoria, sua representação gráfica e breves relatos de outros autores que a abordaram em suas pesquisas. No decorrer do texto, demonstramos como a teoria foi empregada nos planejamentos composicionais: sua aplicação nas reduções melódicas dos frevos de rua, na estruturação rítmica e formal das peças que foram compostas, na variação tímbrica e na serialização das dinâmicas e articulações.
Relação e sistema: duas palavras-chave na trajetória da teoria tonal
Authors: Freitas Sergio Paulo Ribeiro de
Published: July 2021

Percebendo relação e sistema como idealizações que se destacam em nossas práticas teóricas e analíticas, o artigo comenta algo acerca de significados e entendimentos que tais termos acumulam e dispersam na trajetória centro-europeia da teoria tonal. O texto passa por referências e temáticas que tocam outras áreas (tais como história, filosofia, sociologia, ciência etc.) visando, com isso, reiterar esforços de contraposição às interpretações que lidam com as noções da teoria tonal como grandezas desistorizadas e autônomas. Em conclusão observa-se que, com força prescritiva e valorativa, relação e sistema são noções polifônicas que, em movimento, tecem densos contrapontos com outras vozes.
A Visita de Beethoven ao carnaval brasileiro em 2017: Ensaio sobre fantasia analítica e hermenêutica narrativa em música
Authors: Nogueira Ilza
Published: July 2021

O presente trabalho apresenta uma proposta narrativa para a cognição musical da Chacona ao Luar do compositor brasileiro Edino Krieger (Brusque, SC, 1928), uma peça para piano solo composta em 2017. Motivada por uma encomenda da pianista alemã Susanne Kessel, a Chacona integra o projeto internacional “250 Peças para Beethoven”, uma gigantesca homenagem antecipada ao compositor alemão pelos vindouros 250 anos de seu nascimento. Segundo o referido projeto, os compositores convidados deveriam criar peças que remetessem à obra de Beethoven. Assim o fez Krieger em sua Chacona, cujo título não deixa dúvidas sobre o cumprimento da exigência. Objetivando a observação da obra enquanto discurso musical potencialmente significativo, este estudo analítico investiga a estrutura formal, os materiais musicais e as técnicas composicionais, no sentido da construção de um argumento que justifique a obra enquanto homenagem musical contextualizada tanto histórica quanto culturalmente. Recursos composicionais intertextuais e interculturais interagindo num plano de inter-historicidade foram fundamentais à percepção de uma semântica musical e estratégicos para o reconhecimento de “agenciamento” e “atorialidade”, ou seja, a identificação da atuação de agentes musicais e do papel funcional dessa atuação numa trajetória narrativa. No âmbito teórico, argumentações sobre a narratividade musical derivadas de Byron Almén (2003), aliadas a alguns conceitos da psicanálise freudiana e da teoria lacaniana (notadamente o trinômio “Imaginário”, “Simbólico” e “Real”) esteiam a argumentação narrativa que se define a partir da escritura musical. Tendo em vista que os aspectos imaginativos da mente na interpretação performática e na escuta submetem a realidade do texto musical a uma re-subjetivação, esta interpretação narrativa propõe-se aberta, ambígua e questionável.
Categorias de Análise Musical e Modelagem Física como Análise do Timbre
Authors: Coelho de Souza Rodolfo
Published: July 2021

Este artigo traz uma reflexão sobre as categorias de análise que são usadas para obras de diferentes poéticas e estilos. Lembramos que a taxonomia foi primeira categoria de análise a ser usada. Continua sendo muito empregada, como por exemplo na análise harmônica tradicional. A segunda categoria de análise é a funcional, empregada por exemplo na análise harmônica riemanniana. Essa categoria se reinventa na estratégia da engenharia reversa como a que é usada na contagem da série dodecafônica. A terceira categoria é da hermenêutica que também envolve estratégias heurísticas. Ela tem sido a base de diversas teorias analíticas recentes como a das Tópicas e da Narratividade. Finalmente reconhecemos como quarta categoria a estratégia da modelagem, aplicada às obras cuja análise é resistente às categorias anteriores. Propomos que a análise do timbre é particularmente afeita à estratégia da modelagem, reconhecendo que a técnica da modelagem física por meios digitais oferece uma perspectiva promissora nessa direção.
Rethinking the Ornament with/in Luigi Nono’s Late Electroacoustic Works
Authors: Gohon Kevin
Published: July 2021

This paper aims at examining the manifestations of the ornamental phenomenon in the musical project that Luigi Nono developed in the last ten years of his life. Indeed, despite the fact that the musical language of his late style seems to be in contradiction with the presence of any kind of ornamentation –whether because of his inheritance from the Viennese modernism or his rejection to any kind of figurative musical discourse –, certain features of Nono’s late style echo in some way an ornamental logic, as it is set as a general aesthetic category since the 18th century. Therefore, this paper demonstrates that the first manifestation of the “mobile sound” is related to a shifting of the traditional techniques of ornamentation, and then tries to enlighten the expression of the musical discourse in the late spatialized works from the perspective of an ornamental logic.
Variation and Developing Variation under a Transformational Perspective
Authors: Almada Carlos de Lemos
Published: July 2021

The present article introduces the current version of an analytical model, which proposes a transformational conception for musical variation. According to this perspective, an archetypical variation is considered as a generic function capable to transform a referential musical idea into another one to which is related by some degree of similarity. The study addresses a number of co-related concepts, classifications, and assumptions whose interaction aims at consolidating this new theoretical formulation. The last section presents a typology for Schoenberg's principle of developing variation under the transformational point of view.
Extensão diatônica e compressão cromática como princípio básico unificador na Música para Cordas, Percussão e Celesta de Bartók

Design and Aural Analysis of Signal Processing Using Time Delay
Authors: Perez Mauricio , Faria Regis Alves Rossi , Souza Rodolfo Coelho de
Published: July 2021

This paper presents the design in PureData of some audio signals processes in real time like delay, echo, reverb, chorus, flanger e phaser. It also applies techniques of Aural Analysis, which intends to solve problems of intrinsic sound perception. We analyze the technical characteristics of each process and the psychoacoustic effects produced by them in human perception and audio applications. The approach for these processes is based mostly on Roads (1996), Berardino and Puckette (2006). We look for a better understanding of how some sound processes based on delay lines, such as simple delay, reverb and echo, affect the frequency spectrum of the processed sound during the time flow. Besides that, we identified other processes that also affect the spectrum, such as chorus, flanger e phaser, which nevertheless many times are not classified as resulting from time processes but as general effects. A deeper comprehension of the consequences of sound processes based on delay lines favors not only the awareness for the identification of the involved phenomena but also the technical choice of which process to use. This knowledge also helps the decision-making in professional audio applications such as the choice and positioning of microphones for audio recording in different acoustic spaces. This skill also benefits sound edition and mixing, besides music composition that employs sound effects in pre-processed or real time.

Authors: Le Han T. N.
Published: July 2021

This research aimed to estimate people’s willingness topay (WTP) to improve air quality in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam. Contingent value method (CVM), the single bounded dichotomous choice question format, was employed. Five levels of bid were used, including 10,000; 20,000; 30,000; 40,000; 50,000 VND. A survey was conducted with 600 people, distributed in 8 districts. The results showed that people had limited perception on specific terms, but they understood the phenomenon and the consequence of air pollution. The mean willingness to pay (MWTP) for air quality improvement was 19,147.06 VND/person per month (0.83 USD/person per month) (with protesters) and28,157.01 VND/person per month (1.22 USD/person per month) (without protesters). The total budget that would be used for air protection in HCMC was 86,927,652,400VND/month (3,779,463.15 USD/month) (with protesters) and 127,832,825,400 VND/month (5,557,557.62 USD/month)(without protesters). The income, education level and bid level were the factors affecting their WTP
Into the Spotlight: Tracing the Role of the Black Figure in Art over Two Centuries
Authors: Jimerson Lauren
Published: July 2021

Two revelatory exhibitions probed the vital topic of the representation of the black model in art: Posing Modernity: The Black Model from Manet and Matisse to Today, at Columbia University’s Wallach Art Gallery in New York, and Le Modèle noir de Géricault à Matisse, at the Orsay Museum in Paris. A transatlantic venture unprecedented in scale, these shows enriched the public’s understanding of modern art and the significant role of the black figure therein. Playing on the dual meanings of the word model—both an artist’s model and an exemplary figure—these exhibitions revealed the identities of black models, previously unknown or understudied, while also celebrating the achievements of black artists, writers, and performers. Expanding on Denise Murrell’s groundbreaking research on Édouard Manet’s model Laure as well as Henri Matisse’s engagement with African American culture, the Wallach and the Orsay spotlighted the complex and pivotal role of the black model in Western art history.
Allied health students as service providers in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander early childhood education programs: Perceptions of parents and educators
Authors: Sargison Helen , Hill Anne E , Anderson Renae , Copley Jodie , Booth Jodie
Published: July 2021

Early childhood education programs contribute significantly to children’s health and educational outcomes. Responsive service delivery approaches that support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families to access allied health services in the early years are needed to reduce the health/education equity gap in Australia, particularly given the high prevalence of otitis media in this population. This study investigated perspectives of parents and early childhood educators regarding speech pathology and occupational therapy student-delivered services in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander early childhood settings. Thirteen early childhood educators and nine parents participated in focus groups or interviews following delivery of interprofessional services. Data were analysed using descriptive qualitative analysis. Findings suggest parents and early childhood educators perceived allied health student-delivered services to be effective, and enabled conceptualisation of a community-centred model for allied health service delivery in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander early childhood settings. This model supports communities to directly and collaboratively influence the provision of allied health services, and highlights approaches that involve relationship-building and respectful collaboration.
Circulating micrornas sebagai novel biomarker untuk diagnosis pasien acute ischemic stroke: sebuah kajian sistematis
Authors: Ramadhan Arman Caesar , Azzahra Latif Nur Fatimah , Yaqin Muhammad Ainul
Published: July 2021

ABSTRAK

Pendahuluan: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) merupakan jenis stroke dengan insidensi tertinggi utamanya pada kelompok usia lanjut. Saat ini, neuroimaging menjadi modalitas utama dalam penegakan diagnosis stroke, akan tetapi masih memiliki beberapa kelemahan, seperti ketersediaan yang terbatas, biaya yang mahal, waktu yang cukup lama untuk prosedurnya, serta pada beberapa kasus ditemukan hasil interpretasi gambar yang sering tidak konsisten pada stroke fase awal. Sehingga diperlukan alat diagnostik yang cepat, tepat, dan sederhana untuk diagnosis AIS. Saat ini, tipe tertentu dari circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) ditemukan dapat menjadi biomarker untuk diagnostik AIS. Tujuan kajian ini untuk melakukan profiling sekaligus mengevaluasi nilai diagnostik circulating miRNA pada pasien AIS dibandingkan dengan pasien hemorrhagic stroke (HS) dan individu sehat.

Metode: Tinjauan sistematis ini mengumpulkan literatur dari PubMed, Science Direct, Clinical Trial.gov, Directory of Open Access Journal (DOAJ), dan Epistemonikos menggunakan metode standar dengan pedoman cochrane untuk tinjauan sistematis guna mengevaluasi nilai diagnostik dari circulating miRNA sebagai biomarker untuk AIS berdasarkan sensitivitas, spesifitas, dan nilai Area Under the Curve (AUC).

Pembahasan: Dari 870 studi, 15 studi sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi. Dari studi yang ditinjau menunjukkan bahwa hsa-miR-106b-5P dan kombinasi miR-125a-5p + miR-125b-5p + miR-143-3p sebagai jenis miRNA yang paling efektif menjadi biomarker dalam mendiagnosis AIS dan membedakannya dengan individu sehat. Sedangkan miR-124-3p merupakan jenis miRNA yang paling efektif menjadi biomarker untuk membedakan AIS dan HS.

Simpulan: Circulating miRNA yang diisolasi dari plasma, serum, dan darah manusia dapat digunakan sebagai biomarker diagnostik untuk AIS.

Pendahuluan: Pandemi penyakit virus corona (COVID-19) 2019 yang mulai mewabah pada awal tahun  2020 memicu ditetapkannya Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) oleh WHO. Disebabkan oleh SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19 memiliki utamanya menginfeksi sistem pernafasan dengan menempel pada reseptor ACE2. Infeksi COVID-19 menyebabkan beragam manifestasi klinis mulai tanpa gejala hingga gejala berat yang mengancam nyawa bergantung pada berbagai faktor. Berbagai faktor yang mampu menentukan berat-ringannya manifestasi klinis yang ditimbulkan oleh infeksi COVID-19 sangat perlu diperhatikan oleh klinisi sehingga mampu mengantisipasi kondisi pasien sebelum manifestasi klinis tersebut muncul. Kajian literatur ini bertujuan untuk membahas dan merangkum berbagai literatur terkait beberapa faktor yang dinilai paling menentukan tingkat keparahan infeksi COVID-19.

Metode: Kajian literatur ini menggunakan berbagai artikel jurnal yang didapatkan dari pusat data daring yaitu PubMed dan Google Scholar. Artikel yang dipilih berupa artikel penelitian, systematic review dan meta-analysis, serta narrative review terfokus pada transmisi, manifestasi klinis, patogenesis dan respon imun, serta faktor risiko tingkat keparahan dari COVID-19.

Pembahasan: Dari hasil pencarian literatur, didapatkan bahwa beberapa faktor yang paling sering diamati dan paling menentukan tingkat keparahan infeksi COVID-19 adalah usia, penyakit komorbid, defisiensi vitamin D, dan obesitas. Keempat faktor ini bukan merupakan faktor yang berdiri sendiri dalam menentukan tingkat keparahan infeksi COVID-19 namun merupakan faktor yang saling terkait dan saling mempengaruhi satu sama lain dalam menentukan tingkat keparahan infeksi COVID-19 dengan mekanismenya masing – masing.

Simpulan: Sebagian besar faktor yang menentukan tingkat keparahan COVID-19 merupakan faktor yang bisa dicegah. Hal ini membuat pengetahuan dan pemahaman klinisi mengenai faktor – faktor apa saja yang paling sering menentukan tingkat keparahan infeksi COVID-19 akan sangat membantu mencegah munculnya manifestasi klinis yang berat pada pasien COVID-19.

Pendahuluan: Pasien COVID-19 dengan penyakit penyerta atau komorbid memiliki tingkat kematian yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan pasien tanpa penyakit bawaan. Komorbid yang paling umum dijumpai pada pasien COVID-19 adalah diabetes mellitus, hipertensi, dan obesitas. Prevalensi pasien COVID-19 dengan diabetes mellitus mencapai 41,7%, hipertensi mencapai 56,6%, dan obesitas mencapai 41,7%.

Metode: Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan ini adalah studi literatur yang relevan dari berbagai referensi dan terfokus pada hubungan komorbid dengan risiko kematian pada pasien COVID-19. Adapun mesin pencari yang digunakan dalam pencarian literatur antara lain NCBI dan Google Scholar. Secara keseluruhan digunakan sebanyak 21 sumber yang didapat dari berbagai basis meliputi PubMed, ScienceDirect, Researchgate, dan WHO.

Pembahasan: Pada penderita hipertensi yang menderita COVID-19 terjadi peningkatan ekspresi ACE-2 yang menyebabkan tingginya kerentanan terhadap infeksi SARS-CoV-2. Gangguan fungsi sel-T dan peningkatan kadar interleukin-6 (IL-6) juga memainkan peran penting dalam peningkatan derajat keparahan penyakit COVID-19 pada penderita diabetes. Obesitas dapat menyebabkan abnormalitas pada sekresi sitokin, adipokin, dan inferferon yang akan menyebabkan terganggunya sistem imun pada tubuh manusia.

Simpulan: Mekanisme patofisiologi komorbid hipertensi, diabetes mellitus, dan obesitas yang kompleks pada pasien COVID-19 meningkatkan  derajat keparahan dan risiko kematian.
Faktor Prediktif Prognosis Pasien dengan Ensefalopati Hipoglikemia
Authors: Valentina Debby Cinthya Damiri
Published: July 2021

Pendahuluan: Hipoglikemia berat dapat menyebabkan kerusakan pada otak sehingga terjadi keadaan koma yang menetap. Kondisi ini disebut sebagai ensefalopati hipoglikemia (EH). Ensefalopati hipoglikemia memiliki luaran klinis yang variatif, sehingga dibutuhkan nilai prediktif dari pemeriksaan fisik dan penunjang untuk menentukan prognosis dari penyakit tersebut.

Metode: Metode yang digunakan dalam tinjauan pustaka ini adalah pencarian literatur menggunakan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Kemudian dilakukan analisis, sintesis dan rangkum dalam tinjauan pustaka ini.

Pembahasan: Ensefalopati hipoglikemia ditegakkan berdasarkan temuan klinis berupa keadaan stupor atau koma yang bertahan ≥24 jam walaupun telah dilakukan tatalaksana terhadap hipoglikemia. Riwayat penyakit sebelumnya harus digali seperti riwayat hipotensi, hipertensi, asidosis, intoksikasi obat, maupun infeksi. Penegakkan diagnosis EH harus dilakukan secara tepat dengan menyingkirkan kemungkinan diagnosis banding lain melalui pemeriksaan penunjang laboratorium dan radiologi. Pemeriksaan radiologi berupa MRI serebral dapat menunjukkan adanya lesi hiperintens simetris pada korteks serebri, hipokampus, kapsula interna, amigdala, atau ganglia basalis. Luasnya bagian otak yang terkena tidak secara signifikan berpengaruh terhadap luaran klinis pasien, sehingga diperlukan faktor prediktif lain untuk menentukan prognosis penyakit. Faktor prediktif yang dapat membantu dalam menentukan prognosis dari penyakit EH adalah suhu tubuh, durasi hipoglikemia, konsentrasi glukosa darah, dan kadar asam laktat.

Simpulan: Riwayat penyakit dan gejala klinis bersama dengan pemeriksaan laboratorium dan radiologi perlu dilakukan secara tepat untuk menegakkan diagnosis EH dan menyingkirkan diagnosis lain. Selain itu, pemeriksaan faktor prediktif dapat dilakukan untuk menentukan prognosis penyakit dari EH.
The sun is setting: is it time to legislate pre-packs?
Authors: Wood John M

This article provides a critical evaluation of the Graham Review recommendations concerning pre-packs; a timely review which is required to provide a benchmark against which it would be possible to assess the quality of any legislative initiatives which may be taken in the future.
The legitimacy of extralegal property: global perspectives and China’s experience
Authors: Xu Ting , Gong Wei
Published: July 2021

Binary thinking has been entrenched in property law, posing challenges to the protection of land tenure and land users who have no title to the land they cultivate. This paper critiques the state-law-centred approach to evaluating the legitimacy of property and defends extralegal property as legitimate claims to land and related natural resources that are not against the law, but that are not recognised by the law as formal property rights. It begins with an overview of how the legitimacy of property is conceived of at the global level, drawing upon several conceptual frameworks of property developed via global initiatives and soft law instruments. That being done, it moves to examine the legitimacy of extralegal property from the local perspective, looking at a case study of ‘minor rights property’ in China. It is argued that long-term usage of land supported by the prevalence of this practice and social consensus should be regarded as one of the major sources of the legitimacy of property. The paper concludes that the state-law-centred approach to evaluating the legitimacy of property overlooks a range of legitimate property claims and the plurality of norms governing property relations. In order to recognise the full spectrum of property, we should link global perspectives with local experiences.

Lost in transition? Sexuality and justice in post-conflict Northern Ireland
Authors: Duggan Marian
Published: July 2021

Northern Ireland has pioneered the delivery of transitional justice, largely as a result of its troubled past. Efforts to guide this long-divided society towards greater inclusion have been facilitated by a range of processes (judicial and otherwise) designed to deliver truth, justice and accountability. Legal requirements to consider a broader demographical representation in consultations means that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender voices are increasingly evident in this transition. Yet continued political resistance to sexual minority equality, set against a backdrop of wider social integration, indicates the piecemeal approach to progress which is being adopted. This article critically analyses the socio-legal positioning of sexual minorities in Northern Ireland's ongoing processes of transitional justice. In addressing how sexual orientation fits with the driving factors underpinning a move towards a 'post-conflict' society, the analysis queries the heteronormative cultural dynamics informing this utopian future and the impact this may have on exacerbating rather than eradicating homophobic victimisation.
The Pop-Up Museum of Legal Objects project: an experiment in ‘socio-legal design’
Authors: Perry-Kessaris Amanda
Published: July 2021

This article explores the strategies underlying the Pop-Up Museum of Legal Objects, a project based on two collaborative events in which design-based practices were deployed to further socio-legal research. Like other endeavours focusing on legal objects, the Pop-Up project produced a collection of object-based commentaries of diverse geographical, historical and material origins – from Australia to Canada to Egypt, 1200 BCE to the present day, bark to gold to plastic. What renders the Pop-Up project distinctive among interventions in the ever-deepening legal object landscape is, first, that it aims not only to generate new knowledge about objects and about law, but also to transform research behaviours; and, second, that it pursues those aims by adopting design-based practices and experimental attitude. The paper sets out the specific roles played by model-making in each event and the experience design underpinning the project as a whole. Participant feedback collected during and after the events is used to widen the perspective throughout. The article concludes with an indication of how such model-making might extend beyond the museum into fieldwork, using an example from the author’s own practice around an ox-hide copper ingot from Cyprus.
Privacy and the mashrabiya screen: Knowledge is Sweeter than Honey
Authors: Dickson Lisa
Published: July 2021

This paper is offered to demonstrate the value of legal objects in the consideration of key legal concepts. In it I indicate the opportunities presented by an encounter with Susan Hefuna’s large Mashrabiya Screen artwork in the British Museum to supplement, criticise and disrupt current thinking and attitudes towards the concept of privacy. In contrast to the increasingly contested and transactional nature of contemporary understandings of this concept, in which privacy is sometimes imagined just as one more complex function in the reasonable management of dataflows, Hefuna’s screen can help to articulate and support a different approach to privacy. This approach is Privacy by Design, and through a consideration of the physicality of Hefuna’s work, together with her own artistic ambition, my claim is that her art object helps to make the alternative approach to privacy manifest and tangible, prompting a reappraisal of the proper scope and nature of privacy protection.
On the ‘Horniman walrus’
Authors: Nicholson Matthew
Published: July 2021

This article considers the connections between a walrus displayed in the Horniman Museum in south-east London and international environmental law. Drawing on my experience of reproducing this walrus in clay, it uses the walrus as a microcosm of international environmental law’s engagement with nature in the context of cultural and philosophical trends involving the artefactualisation, socialisation and humanisation of nature.
Victims of crime: culture, politics and criminal process in the twenty-first century
Authors: Hall Matthew
Published: July 2021

This paper sets out to marry three areas of concern to modern victimology. In the first instance the paper will explore the ‘cultural turn’ taken in our understandings of what it means to be a victim of crime in thetwenty-first century. McGarry and Walklate (2015) characterise such ‘cultural victimology’ as comprising a wider sharing and reflection of individual and collective victimisation experiences, on the one hand, and,on the other, the mapping of those experiences through the criminal justice process. This paper will explore the interaction between such cultural understandings of victimhood and the political and policy forces which,since at least the late 1990s, have pledged to ‘rebalance’ the criminal justice systems of England and Wales and other jurisdictions to put victims ‘at the heart’ of those processes.
