Film Festivals in the White Cube: Queer City Cinema as Artistic Practice
Authors: Petrychyn Jonathan
Published: October 2018

L’auteur retrace le rôle et le lieu du cinéma élargi du festival Queer City Cinema (à Regina), depuis sa première présentation en 1996 à ce jour. À partir du milieu des années 1990, les festivals de cinéma queer (ou altersexuel) au Canada et dans le monde se sont éloignés des modèles organisationnels basés sur les publics ou les communautés, pour lesquels ces événements s’inscrivaient dans le prolongement des activités des organismes queer militants, et ont adopté des modèles plus commerciaux. Concurremment à ce nouvel aiguillage organisationnel s’est produit un virage, au chapitre de l’esthétique et du commissariat, du cinéma expérimental et du cinéma élargi vers les longs métrages de genre. Sous la conduite du directeur artistique Gary Varro, le festival Queer City Cinema a résisté à cette tendance et constamment accru l’espace consacré au cinéma élargi dans la programmation du festival. Après la projection d’une seule vidéo documentaire sur une exposition de photographies en 1996, Varro a peu à peu inscrit au programme des expositions et des prestations en direct, ce qui a ultérieurement mené à la scission des films et des prestations avec l’instauration de Performatorium, de 2012 à 2015. L’engagement de Varro à promouvoir le cinéma élargi défie les frontières de l’art queer et du cinéma ou de la vidéo queer, définissant l’événement Queer City Cinema comme un festival cinématographique ainsi qu’une pratique artistique et l’exercice d’un commissariat — ce qui fait sa singularité parmi les festivals de cinéma queer au Canada.
From Programmer to Curator: How Film Festivals Are Pushing the Boundaries of New Media and Expanded Cinema
Authors: Klimek Caroline
Published: October 2018

L’auteure se penche sur la façon dont deux festivals de cinéma canadiens introduisent les œuvres des nouveaux médias dans leur programmation principale. Le Festival international canadien du documentaire Hot Docs et le festival imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts utilisent leurs programmes de nouveaux médias (respectivement DocX et Digital Media Art+Cade) de manière à associer leur industrie et la programmation du festival et à créer des partenariats interdisciplinaires avec des parties prenantes d’importance, intéressées par la promotion des œuvres des nouveaux médias canadiens et la technologie en émergence. L’auteure envisage le festival de cinéma comme une institution et un nouveau lieu de cinéma élargi, et elle traite des répercussions de l’ajout d’œuvres des nouveaux médias sur la programmation globale et les mandats des festivals.

Subspecialty pediatric neurosurgery training: a skill-based training model for neurosurgeons in low-resourced health systems
Authors: Dewan Michael C. , Onen Justin , Bow Hansen , Ssenyonga Peter , Howard Charles , Warf Benjamin C.
Published: October 2018

There is inadequate pediatric neurosurgical training to meet the growing burden of disease in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Subspecialty expertise in the management of hydrocephalus and spina bifida—two of the most common pediatric neurosurgical conditions—offers a high-yield opportunity to mitigate morbidity and avoid unnecessary death. The CURE Hydrocephalus and Spina Bifida (CHSB) fellowship offers an intensive subspecialty training program designed to equip surgeons from LMIC with the state-of-the-art surgical skills and equipment to most effectively manage common neurosurgical conditions of childhood. Prospective fellows and their home institution undergo a comprehensive evaluation before being accepted for the 8-week training period held at CURE Children’s Hospital of Uganda (CCHU) in Mbale, Uganda. The fellowship combines anatomy review, treatment paradigms, a flexible endoscopic simulation lab, daily ward and ICU rounds, radiology rounds, and clinic exposure. The cornerstone of the fellowship is the unique operative experience that includes a high volume of endoscopic third ventriculostomy with choroid plexus cauterization, myelomeningocele closure, and ventriculoperitoneal shunting, among many other procedures performed at CCHU. Upon completion, fellows return to their home institution to establish or rejuvenate a robust pediatric practice as part of a worldwide network of CHSB trainees committed to the care of underserved children. To date, the fellowship has graduated 33 surgeons from 20 different LMIC who are independently performing thousands of hydrocephalus and spina bifida operations each year.
Pediatric neurosurgical workforce, access to care, equipment and training needs worldwide
Authors: Dewan Michael C. , Baticulon Ronnie E. , Rattani Abbas , Johnston James M. , Warf Benjamin C. , Harkness William
Published: October 2018

OBJECTIVE

The presence and capability of existing pediatric neurosurgical care worldwide is unknown. The objective of this study was to solicit the expertise of specialists to quantify the geographic representation of pediatric neurosurgeons, access to specialist care, and equipment and training needs globally.

METHODS

A mixed-question survey was sent to surgeon members of several international neurosurgical and general pediatric surgical societies via a web-based platform. Respondents answered questions on 5 categories: surgeon demographics and training, hospital and practice details, surgical workforce and access to neurosurgical care, training and equipment needs, and desire for international collaboration. Responses were anonymized and analyzed using Stata software.

RESULTS

A total of 459 surgeons from 76 countries responded. Pediatric neurosurgeons in high-income and upper-middle-income countries underwent formal pediatric training at a greater rate than surgeons in low- and lower-middle-income countries (89.5% vs 54.4%). There are an estimated 2297 pediatric neurosurgeons in practice globally, with 85.6% operating in high-income and upper-middle-income countries. In low- and lower-middle-income countries, roughly 330 pediatric neurosurgeons care for a total child population of 1.2 billion. In low-income countries in Africa, the density of pediatric neurosurgeons is roughly 1 per 30 million children. A higher proportion of patients in low- and lower-middle-income countries must travel > 2 hours to seek emergency neurosurgical care, relative to high-income countries (75.6% vs 33.6%, p < 0.001). Vast basic and essential training and equipment needs exist, particularly low- and lower-middle-income countries within Africa, South America, the Eastern Mediterranean, and South-East Asia. Eighty-nine percent of respondents demonstrated an interest in international collaboration for the purposes of pediatric neurosurgical capacity building.

CONCLUSIONS

Wide disparity in the access to pediatric neurosurgical care exists globally. In low- and lower-middle-income countries, wherein there exists the greatest burden of pediatric neurosurgical disease, there is a grossly insufficient presence of capable providers and equipped facilities. Neurosurgeons across income groups and geographic regions share a desire for collaboration and partnership.
Bridging the gap: creating a self-sustaining neurosurgical residency program in Haiti
Authors: Shah Ashish H. , Barthélemy Ernest , Lafortune Yudy , Gernsback Joanna , Henry Ariel , Green Barth , Ragheb John
Published: October 2018

Given Haiti’s longstanding socioeconomic burden and recent environmental and epidemiological catastrophes, the capacity for neurosurgery within Haiti has been limited, and outcomes for patients with neurosurgical conditions have remained poor. With few formally trained neurosurgeons (4) in a country of 10.5 million inhabitants, there is a significant need for the development of formal structured neurosurgical training. To mitigate the lack of neurosurgical care within Haiti, the authors established the first neurosurgical residency program within the country by creating an integrated model that uniquely fortifies existing Haitian neurosurgery with government sponsorship (Haitian Ministry of Health and National Medical School) and continual foreign support. By incorporating web-based learning modules, online assessments, teleconferences, and visiting professorships, the residency aims to train neurosurgeons over the course of 3–5 years to meet the healthcare needs of the nation. Although in its infancy, this model aims to facilitate neurosurgical capacity building by ultimately creating a self-sustaining residency program.

Defining Mentorship in Prehospital Care: A Qualitative Analysis of the Characteristics of Prehospital Mentors
Authors: Cameron Cheryl
Published: October 2018

Introduction

This study sought to begin to define the current understanding of the term mentor within the prehospital environment (emergency medical services or EMS) as described by nomination letters written by mentees for a newly launched prehospital mentor award.

Methods

The John Ross Paramedic Mentor Award was created in the fall of 2015 to recognize outstanding mentors in prehospital care. In the spring of 2016, nineteen nomination letters were received from registered prehospital professionals in Alberta detailing why their mentor should receive the mentor award. Written text from the nominations for this peer nominated award were analyzed using thematic and content analysis (n=19) to identify the current understanding of mentorship in EMS, desirable qualities of prehospital mentors, and what a successful mentoring relationship looks like in the prehospital environment from the perspective of mentees. Demographic data of the mentees and mentors were obtained. 

Results

Mentees and nominated mentors had varying years of experience, worked in diverse practice areas within prehospital care and represented varying scopes of practice (PCPs and ACPs). Three themes were identified from thematic analysis of the nomination letters 1) nominators seek to emulate their mentors, 2) mentors create a safe and nurturing environment, and 3) mentors act as advocates. In addition, content analysis was used to identify a number of desirable professional and personal traits of prehospital mentors.

Conclusion

This study describes the qualities of prehospital mentors and identifies a number of common elements in a successful mentoring relationship (from the perspective of the mentee). These results highlight exceptional mentoring that is already occurring within the prehospital care environment. This research has the potential to provide guidance to those who aim to support both formal and informal mentoring within the prehospital care environment.

Was passiert in Italien?
Authors: Rossanda Rossana , Natoli Aldo
Published: October 2018

Die gegenwärtigen Ereignisse in Italien, die Machtverschiebung zugunsten der Justiz auf Kosten der politischen Klasse, läßt sich nur eingeschränkt als Revolution beschreiben. Zwar zerbröselt unter dem Druck der Europäischen Integration und einer verschärften WeltmarktkonkmTenz die rückständige Machtstruktur der 70er Jahre. Sie geht jedoch mit einer prinzipiellen Schwächung der Gewerkschaften und der Zerstörung der sozialstaatlichen Errungenschaften der Nachkriegsjahrzehnte einher. Die traditionelle Linke aber hat bereits in den 70er Jahren die Strukturverschiebungen im Kapitalismus fehlgedeutet und die Lage in Osteuropa fehleingeschätzt. Auch jetzt hat sie kaum mehr anzubieten als eine Marktwirtschaft. Nur wenn es einer erneuerten Linken - d.h. insbesondere der Partei des demokratischen Sozialismus (PDS) - gelingt, in einer unübersichtlich gewordenen Situation und gegenüber der populistischen Demagogie der Legen, neue konkrete Ansatzpunkte in den realen Bedürfnissen der Bevölkerung zu gewinnen, könnte sie zukünftig eine größere Rolle spielen.
Die deutsche Neue Linke im Spiegel der USA
Authors: Mayer Margit
Published: October 2018

A comparison of the German and US Sixties Movements points to the role different political opportunity structures have played both in shaping the concrete form and direction of the protest in each country, and in the interpretations of the role and effects of these movements on society. The comparison with the US case sheds doubt on the widespread claim that '68 has »fundamentally liberalized« and »modernized« German society.
Postindustrialismus - eine ökologische Utopie?
Authors: Wehling Peter
Published: October 2018

Since the 1980's, great expectations have been invested into theories of a post-industrial society: The third sector is assumed to absorb all human labour being redundant as a result of increases in industrial productivity. In addition, sectoral change to a service economy is believed to lead to an ecologically »cleaner« society. The author points out that the promises of post-industrialism are based on a narrow interpretation of the capitalist development since 1945. Especially, the improvements of the environment announced by Bell, Offe and others did not come true. Thus, environmental politics cannot rely on postindustrialism, but has to aim at structural changes in all economic sectors and in the sphere of consumption as well.
(K)eine neue Verfassung für das geeinte Deutschland?
Authors: Berlit Uwe
Published: October 2018

Eng verbunden mit der friedlichen Revolution in der DDR waren Fragen nach einer angemessenen Verfassung für das staatlich geeinte Deutschland. Als Folge der Entscheidung für den Weg des Beitritts wurde die Debatte über einigungsinduzierte Änderungen des Grundgesetzes nicht einem Verfassungsrat oder gar einer Verfassunggebenden Versammlung übertragen, sondern einer paritätisch aus Bundestag und Bundesrat gebildeten Gemeinsamen Verfassungskommission. Im Februar 1994 haben die parlamentarischen Beratungen über die Empfehlungen des nach fast zweijähriger Beratung vorgelegten Berichts begonnen. Der Beitrag schildert Gründe, Verfahren und Themen dieser Verfassungsdebatte zwischen Beharren und Innovation, im Spannungsfeld von Reform, Revision und Neukonstituierung, und versucht Gründe dafür zu benennen, daß die Chance einer zukunftsorientierten Verfassungsmodernisierung nicht genutzt worden ist.
Recht - Demokratie - Weltgesellschaft
Authors: Narr Wolf-Dieter
Published: October 2018

Was bewegt zwei bedeutende Gesellschaftstheoretiker zum Recht? Dessen (vermutete) sozialintegrative Kraft den einen, dessen Erwartungen stabilisierende Funktion den anderen. Recht wird als Errungenschaft der (europäischen) Zivilisation betrachtet, die Ordnung in die instabilen weitgesellschaftlichen Prozesse bringen kann. Beide Theoretiker 'erfinden' indessen ihr Recht aus einem diskurs- bzw. systemtheoretischen Blick, indem es bei Habermas als 'radikaldemokratischer Transformator' zwischen System und 'der' Lebenswelt, bei Luhmann allein aufgrund seiner 'operationellen Geschlossenheit' als problembewältigender Mechanismus erscheint. Die Realität des Rechts wird von beiden nur soweit in Augenschein genommen, wie sie die Souveränität der je eigenen realistisch gewendeten Begriffswelt demonstriert. - Der Artikel wird mit einer näheren Analyse der von Habermas und Luhmann vorausgesetzten Gesellschaftsbegriffe fortgesetzt.

Die Versuche der »rationalen Weltbeherrschung« haben dazu geführt, daß Ressourcen erschöpft und Senken für Schadstoffe überlastet sind. Aus der Globalität der ökonomischen Prozesse und ökologischen Krisen ergeben sich neue Herausforderungen an die politische Regulation. Dabei sind die Nationalstaaten nicht mehr die wichtigsten Akteure auf dem »internationalen Parkett«, neben ihnen stehen internationale Institutionen, transnationale Konzerne und Banken sowie Nicht-Regierungsorganisationen. Handelt es sich hier vielleicht um die Vorboten einer »internationalen Zivilgesellschaft«?
Rent-Seeking. Zur politischen Theorie des neoklassischen Fundamentalismus
Authors: Elkins Stephan
Published: October 2018

The concept is concerned with economic inefficiency and stagnation contrived by government intervention into the economic process. The prospect of profiting from political intervention encourages rational actors to shift their efforts from productive activities to political manipulation, inducing a substantial reduction in aggregate levels of social welfare. This leads to the conclusion that the restoration of society's productive capacities requires wresting the economy from the clutches of the state occupied by special interests. The author criticizes this analysis on account of an inadequate political theory based on the framework of neoclassical economics. Moreover, the notion that »depoliticization of the economy« could provide asolution to the problem of »rent-seeking« is shown tobe inconsistent and sociologically naive. An adequate analysis of the problems related to »rent-seeking« should to take the specific selectivity of political institutions, which favours specific interests and policy issues, as its starting point.
Operationsfeld Weltmarkt oder: Vom souveränen Nationalstaat zum nationalen Wettbewerbsstaat
Authors: Altvater Elmar
Published: October 2018

The world is a »global village«. Distances and time difference have nearly become meaningless due to modern transport and communication technologies. Therefore corporations from all regions of the world are competing on all markets. The freetrade »ideology« has become tough reality. In conseguence, towards the end of the 20thcentury, the nation state is left with only few possibilities of influencing the economic development; the world economy's »central processing unit« are the money and capitalmarkets. Nation state-orientated development projects have therefore failed in the East (collapse ofreal-existing socialism«) as weil as in the West (»beyond Keynesianism«) and in the South (»end of the development state«). Furthermore, even the modern welfare statedepends on the state's ability to intervene in the economic sphere. The welfare state's clientele is mainly defined by the (national) citizenship. Free trade is happily dismantelling the welfarestate arrangements, but at the same time, the social resources of economic development are being undermined. This is why competition theorists are rediscovering the »productiveresources« of social competences, of consensus and communication to increase the»competitiveness« on open world markets.

Authors: Zeuner Bodo
Published: October 2018

The artide presents a review of the class struggle debates in PROKLA up to the 80s (which were then interrupted) as well as more recent approaches of class analysis. The review shows that class and class struggle cannot be examined without a political analysis. However, a political analysis of modern societies, in opposition to the trend prevailing today, is not sufficiently informed without a class analysis, because an abstraction from class interrelations in capitalism is not possible.

Die italienische Krise
Authors: Ginsborg Paul
Published: October 2018

The article discusses the economic, political and cultural factors which led to the transformation among the parties and in the Italian democracy. The sudden outbreak of the crisis in 1992 is described as a conjunction of external and internal crisis factors. International adjustment constraints, economical missmanagement, the inefficiency of the central govemments, social and political movements in Northern and Southern Italy, as well as the resolute action of judges and public prosecutors against the corrupt political elite, finally made the historical break with the traditional conditions in Italian politics possible. But only in Southem Italy the political caesura was accompanied by social transformations. Finally, this continuity of social conditions explains the rise of Berlusconi.
Die Lega Nord: Zwischen ethnischer Staatsbürgerschaft und föderalem Projekt
Authors: D'Amato Gianni , Schieder Siegfried
Published: October 2018

The article reconstructs origin and rise of the North Italian protest movement Lega Nord since the beginning of the Eighties as a political undertaking of the Italian crisis which threw stereotyped thought patterns overboard and replaced them by new political mobilization offers providing identity: the North's aversion towards the South, the contrast between centre and periphery, the public and the private, the civil society and the Partitocracy. By demanding a radical federalism (Reppublica del Nord) which ties  democratic participation to an ethnically defined and economic homogenous territorium, the Lega Nord jeopardizes the national consensus. A possible effect of this ethno federalismcould be the termination of the historically developed solidarity relations between the economically and culturally less developed South and the prospering North.
Steuern, Staatsausgaben und Umverteilung
Authors: Vesper Dieter
Published: October 2018

The government's financial policy always has distributive effects which are, however, difficult to estimate in the individual case. The past 15 years in the Federal Republic of Germany have been determined by a strong shift of the distributive relations for the benefit of profit income; this development was reinforced by the state. The way of financing German Unity by tax and contribution increases was also problematic in view of distribution policy. The increases especially burdened low and middle incomes, while self-employed were completely and civil servants were partially excepted from the increase in social security contributions. Not until after the reintroduction of the surcharge of solidarity (Solidaritätszuschlag) on January 1st 1995, the falseness in respect to distribution policy was corrected to some extent.

Finally, the international framework is examined in which the national strategies of overcoming the crisis are pursued.
INTER-RELIGIOUS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HINDUS AND MUSLIMS IN LOMBOK
Authors: Ridho Miftahur
Published: October 2018

Despite its heterogeneous population, Lombok is well known for its reputation as Pulau Seribu Mesjid (island of thousand mosques).The idea of thousand mosques reflects the strong notion of Islam as the main identity marker. This, however, often brings uneasiness for both conflict between Muslim and non-Muslim, and between Muslims groups living in the island.This paper, aims at mapping out the triangular relationships between Hindus, Wetutelu Muslims, and Waktu Lima Muslims in Lombok, an island where a significant number of Balinese Hindus live as religious minority among SasakMuslims majority. In this paper, I argue that inter-religious relationship between Hindus and WetuteluMuslims is harmonious, while that between Hindus and Waktu Lima orthodox Muslims is marked by hostility. However, the inter-religious relationship between Hindus and the less orthodox Waktu Lima Muslims represent a number of uncertainties.

Published: October 2018

Sanghyang Dance is synonymous with "trance" as an expression of unity between "atman" and the "spirit" deliberately invited to enter into the human body. Media such as offerings, sacred chants (songs), the orchestra, and dancers, are prepared through the ritual procession for this dance. The dance in a "trance" has the ability beyond the norm of human in spiritual communications that havedeveloped in Bali ethnic society since prehistoric times. Spiritual communication is interpreted as inner dialogue between human and spirits. To understand this phenomenon in-depth,a research entitled "Sanghyang Dance: spiritual communications between humanand spirits through anthropology and sociology of art approaches"has been done. The focus of the study is a form of spiritual communication between human and spirits, and the existence of sanghyang dance in Balinese society. The aim of research is to determine and describe the form of spiritual communication between human and spirits, and to determine the existence of sanghyang dance in Balinese society. The findings of this study are expected to add knowledge about spiritual communications betweenhuman and spirits. Themethod of the study is qualitative and descriptive. The data collection methods include observation, interviews and document collection. The data were analyzed using ethnographic, social exchange theory, and the theory of hegemony. The results of this study are human beings need the presence of the spirits to overcome the problems in lives while sanghyang dance performance is already scarce in Bali.

The establishment of house of worship is one of the crucial issues in the harmony of religious life in Indonesia. Some research have been conducted on the case of the construction of houses of worship, but it use the civic pluralism or human rights perspectives. This paper presents the results of research on the case of the construction of houses of worship, namely the church in Bandung, West Java, with conflict management perspective. This study was designed as a case study, by conducting interviews and observations as well as reviewing documents with conflict management perspectives and regulations on the establishment of houses of worship, by examining the elements of the community involved in the process of building houses of worship and the social mechanisms undertaken. The results of this study indicate that the openness and communication between elements involved in the construction of houses of worship, as well as the process of socialization became an important factor in the establishment of the church, even in places where religious worshipers became ‘minorities.’ Social mechanisms or socialization between elements involved in the construction by itself will strengthen the harmony of religious life.

Published: October 2018

Tulisan ini mengulas buku berjudul "Literatur Keislaman Generasi Milenial: Transmisi, Apropriasi, dan Kontestasi." Fokus buku ini adalah memetakan literatur keislaman yang beredar dan dibaca generasi milenial, khususnya pelajar SMA dan mahasiswa. Buku ini juga melihat tingkat keberterimaan literatur keislaman yang beraneka ragam dalam orientasi ideologis, genre, kecenderungan pendekatan, dan gaya di kalangan generasi milenial. Hal yang membedakan dengan kajian tentang literatur keislaman yang sudah dilakukan, buku ini  memeriksa buku-buku yang digunakan dalam Pendidikan Agama Islam, baik di SMA maupun di Perguruan Tinggi. Buku ini ditulis sebetulnya dalam rangka untuk membaca dinamika dan pergeseran Islamisme, terutama di kalangan anak muda. Hal ini dilakukan karena kebanyakan sarjana hanya memerhatikan dinamika ideologi gerakan Islam, sehingga mengabaikan hal yang lebih mendasar menyangkut faktor yang membentuk ideologi tersebut. Buku ini berargumen bahwa peran literatur keislaman dalam persemaian Islamisme di kalangan generasi milenial, khususnya pelajar dan mahasiswa, jelas tidak bisa diabaikan. Buku ini memberikan gambaran tentang pemikiran Islam anak muda melalui literatur keislaman yang tersedia, diakses dan dibaca. Meskipun demikian, buku ini tidak mengulas tentang karakter generasi milenial yang menjadi subyek penelitiannya.
DEVELOPMENT OF WAQF IN INDONESIA: THE SWOT ANALYSIS OF INDONESIA WAQF BOARD (BWI)
Authors: Haneef Mohamed Aslam Mohamed , Bin Mustaffa Kamil Nazrol Kamil , Ayuniyyah Qurroh
Published: October 2018

Purpose â€“ As the most Moslem populous country, Indonesia has a great potential in waqf assets and fund. The House of the Representatives has regulated Waqf Act No. 41/2004 as of 27 October 2004 to support the development of waqf in the country. Indonesia Waqf Board (abbreviated as BWI) was established by the President of the Republic of Indonesia as the implementation of this Act. The role is to become coordinating institution of existing nazhir (waqf managers) in managing and supervising waqf assets and fund. This paper aims to evaluate waqf management conducted by BWI. The paper also identifies the issues of waqf management in Indonesia by using SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis. Design/Methodology/Approach â€“ The study employs both primary and secondary sources. The primary data is through the interview with the Vice Chairman of BWI, while secondary sources are through published regulation and reports, journal papers, and articles. Findings â€“ Since its establishment, BWI has faced several strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and weaknesses. The strengths include an independent status of BWI and good cooperation with other interrelated institutions. With regard to its weakness, the dualism between BWI and Waqf Directorate of Ministry of Religious Affair has been becoming further internal challenge for the Board. Moreover, lack of integration between BWI and other waqf institutions has also hampered BWI to achieve its objectives. The opportunities are the high Moslem population in Indonesia and great potential of waqf cash and land. On the other hand, the threats comprise lack of awareness and knowledge of the Moslem in Indonesia. Besides, the biggest threat occurs on the capacity of waqf managers (nazhir). Meanwhile, waqf land status, change in waqf land location, and controversy of cash waqf are considered as the other threats. Originality/value â€“ This study is expected to provide the current condition in waqf management and its lesson learnt for the development of waqf in Indonesia, specifically, as well as in other countries, generally.

We obtained recombinant variants of human antibody FI6 broadly specific to hemagglutinins of the influenza A virus. On the basis of a bi-promoter (CMV, hEF1-HTLV) vector, we developed genetic constructs for the expression of the heavy and light chains of the immunoglobulins of IgA1-, IgA2m1-, and IgG-isotypes. Following transfection and selection, stable Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines were produced. The antibodies of IgA1-, IgA2m1-, and IgG-isotypes were purified from culture media. We performed an immunochemical characterization and studied their interactions with influenza A strains of the H1N1- and H3N2-subtypes. It was shown that recombinant FI6 variants of the IgA-isotype retain the properties of the parental IgG antibody to demonstrate specificity to all the strains tested. The strongest binding was observed for the H1N1 subtype, which belongs to hemagglutinins of phylogenetic group I.
Analysis and Finite Element Modelling of Water Flow in Concrete
Authors: Pap Miklós , Mahler András , Nehme Salem Georges
Published: October 2018

Due to the construction of underground structures and hazardous waste storages, understanding and modelling of seepage in concrete has become an important issue in life-span analyses. The theories and calculation methods of unsaturated soil mechanics provide an opportunity to analyze water flow in other types of porous media (e.g. concrete) as well. This study deals with the determination of the permeability for unsaturated and saturated concrete and modelling the water flow in concrete. The direct measurement of the saturated permeability, the preparation of the drying water retention curve and determination of the depth of penetration of water under pressure are involved in the series of tests. For the fitting method of the experimental water retention curves were used Fredlund and Xing (1994) and van Genuchten (1980) model. The theory of lateral shift was applied to estimate the wetting water retention curve from the drying WRC. Thus, we could calculate the unsaturated permeability functions with Fredlund et al. (1994) and van Genuchten (1980) model. The finite element modelling of the standard test for watertightness were performed with Midas GTS using the measured and calculated unsaturated property functions.
Comparison of Different Empirical Correlations to Estimate Permeability Coefficient of Quaternary Danube Soils
Authors: Pap Miklós , Mahler András
Published: October 2018

Permeability coefficient is the most significant soil parameter in seepage calculations. It has been recognized that permeability of granular soils is strongly related to the grain size, thus numerous empirical correlations have been developed to estimate permeability using its grain size characteristics. In this study the empirical correlations proposed by Hazen (1911), Carrier (2003) and Chapuis (2004) are evaluated and compared to laboratory measurement results. Quaternary Danube soils are very typical in the Carpathian basin, thus their permeability is an important question in many geotechnical applications.
Practising taxonomy: Joel Asaph Allen and species-making (W. T. Stearn Prize 2017)
Authors: Neste Aaron Van
Published: October 2018

This article uses Joel Asaph Allen (1838–1921), naturalist and curator at New York's American Museum of Natural History (1885–1921), and the naturalists, collectors and other actors in his orbit to explore how taxonomists handled the concept of species during the field's acceptance and incorporation of evolutionary theory. The work of taxonomy can be characterized as “species-making”, the practice of defining and demarcating of species through examining collections of specimens. Allen occupied a liminal space between what could be called the theoreticians and the technicians of systematics. As the curator of major collecting and research enterprises in the United States, Allen was intimately involved in the practical details of specimen collection, including conducting and arranging field expeditions, describing bird skins and other specimen collections, arranging public displays, and securing patronage. At the same time, he published widely on theoretical issues such as zoological nomenclature and the definition of subspecies, expanded the study of biogeography, and helped professionalize zoology. This essay aims to illustrate how the multifarious threads of specimen collecting, taxonomy and professionalization interweave within the life of a single individual to present one facet of the nineteenth-century natural history: the normal taxonomist.
Linnaeus, smut disease and living contagion
Authors: Antonovics Janis , Hood Michael E.
Published: October 2018

This paper examines the rise and fall of Carl Linnaeus's ideas on living contagion, focusing on his work with plant smut diseases. Early in his career, Linnaeus named a plant altered by anther-smut disease as a separate species, but then, probably realizing it was a diseased specimen, demoted it to a variety. He later drew direct parallels between minute insects attacking plants and infectious diseases in humans, but did not yet draw an analogy to smut diseases. After Otto von Münchhausen had sent Linnaeus the first instalment of his book Der Hausvater (1764) , Linnaeus realized smuts were contagious. He carried out his own investigations that appeared to confirm Münchhausen's conclusion that smut spores germinated to produce living and mobile animalcules. This cemented Linnaeus's view that animalcules caused contagion in human diseases, a view which he expressed forcefully, urging further studies. However, his results were questioned and discounted by others, especially John Ellis. An analysis of correspondence between Linnaeus and other microscopists shows that it is likely Linnaeus did actually see “animalcules” emerging from cereal grains. He was unaware that smut-like symptoms in wheat could also be caused by seed-gall nematodes in the genus Anguina. Linnaeus himself came to doubt the connection between fungi and contagion, and did not pursue these studies further. The presumption that Linnaeus was fanciful in his observations of animalcules may partly explain why his views had only a tangential impact on the germ-theory of disease, and why his insights remain unappreciated to this day.
John Conrad Hansen (1869–1952) and his scientific illustrations
Authors: Brinkman Paul D.
Published: October 2018

Over the course of his 14-year career at Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History, artist and engraver John Conrad Hansen rendered hundreds of beautiful and accurate scientific illustrations of animals – mostly extinct fossil vertebrates. His principal media were oil paintings, pencil, pen-and-ink and wash drawings. Many of his illustrations have been published in the scientific literature. His oil paintings, on the other hand, were made for display alongside specimens in the Field Museum's exhibits. Despite the quality of Hansen's full-colour reconstructions, few of them have been seen outside the Museum. A small, representative sample of his work is reproduced here, along with a brief account of his troubled life and career.
Michael Tweedie, Woutera van Benthem Jutting and the Mollusca of Malaya's limestone hills
Authors: Luyt Brendan
Published: October 2018

Links forged over the years between Singapore and the Netherlands by two naturalists, Michael Tweedie of the Raffles Museum and Woutera van Benthem Jutting of the Zoological Museum of the University of Amsterdam, are illustrative of mid-twentieth-century collaboration. For a project instituted on the periphery of contemporary international scientific networks, Tweedie was able to enrol van Benthem Jutting through his skilful use of specimens and editorial resources.
Chronicling the discovery of the British and Irish native floras – Richard Pulteney's overlooked contribution
Authors: Pearman David A.
Published: October 2018

Until 1897, when William Clarke produced his First records of British flowering plants, there was no publication where one could see the date and source of the discovery of all of the native plants in Britain and Ireland. Two manuscripts were traced in the library of the Natural History Museum, London, which are in the hand of Richard Pulteney, an apothecary and physician, and also author of works on Linnaeus and the history of botany in Britain. The first of these manuscripts, based on the second edition of Hudson's Flora Anglica (1778), traces each plant described in that work back to the earliest authorities; the second lists a single authority, as the ‘first describer or discoverer’ of each plant. Although Pulteney was handicapped by not having access to all of the pre-1640 literature, these manuscripts nevertheless represent an important contribution to the discovery of our flora, pre-dating, as they do, the work of Clarke by a century.
