Gender Equality in Mosque Management: Women's Involvement in Masjid Raya Mujahidin Pontianak
Authors: Nurjamilah Cucu
Published: December 2017

In the context of da’wah management, the functions of the mosque are not optimal yet. The activities of the masjid are only focused on the center of worship, religious activities, but have not touched the equality yet. In order to answer the problems above, the researcher used fieldwork with the method of case studies. Through an in-depth interview technique, participant observation and study of documentation found that Masjid Mujahidin Pontianak has involved women in the management of masjid, and succeeded in increasing the functions of a mosque. Involving women in the management of mosque will strengthen one dimension that is important in Islam that is Islam seriously upholds the equality of degree in various aspect, including Islam is a religion that highly responsive gender. When the management of mosque is filled with a variety of different groups, including giving places to women, then frictions and clashes caused by differences in the understanding in the society will be minimized, and then the role and function of masjid will be able to touch various aspects such as economics, health, and education. 

Dalam konteks pengelolaan dakwah, fungsi masjid sebagai media dakwah belum diberdayakan secara optimal. Kegiatan masjid yang ada hanya digunakan sebagai pusat ibadah dan aktivitas keagamaan, selebihnya belum menyentuh pada persoalan gender. Guna menjawab permasalahan di atas, dilakukan studi lapangan dengan metode studi kasus. Melalui teknik wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipan dan dokumentasi, ditemukan bahwa Masjid Raya Mujahidin Pontianak telah melibatkan perempuan dalam kepengurusan masjidnya, dan berhasil dalam peningkatan fungsi masjid. Melibatkan perempuan dalam pengelolaan masjid, akan menguatkan satu dimensi penting dalam Islam yaitu Islam menjunjung tinggi persamaan derajat dalam berbagai segi, termasuk Islam adalah agama yang responsif gender. Ketika kepengurusan masjid diisi dari berbagai golongan, termasuk mengapresiasi kaum perempuan, maka gesekan-gesekan yang disebabkan perbedaan pemahaman di masyarakat akan dapat diminimalisir, serta fungsi dan peran masjid akan mampu menyentuh berbagai aspek seperti bidang ekonomi, kesehatan, dan pendidikan.
A dimensão social e política da autonomia: questões e percepções no ensino superior
Authors: Barreto Denise Aparecida Brito , Oliveira Albertina Lima , Seixas Ana Maria
Published: December 2017

Este artigo está ancorado nos conceitos formulados e apresentados por Paulo Freire (1996), autonomia como construção a partir de um espaço crítico e libertador, e José Contreras (2002), autonomia como um dos elementos da profissionalização, e objetiva refletir a forma como os docentes do ensino superior compreendem o significado de autonomia nos seus espaços e práticas profissionais. A pesquisa foi realizada em duas Universidades Públicas e duas Faculdades Particulares na cidade de Vitória da Conquista, no estado da Bahia, Brasil, com 25 professores que manifestaram a sua opinião sobre as temáticas em análise numa perspectiva comparativa, através de um questionário maioritariamente de respostas fechadas. Foi dada prioridade à pesquisa de abordagem quantitativa e descritiva e concluímos que, apesar do avanço no campo da autonomia, muito ainda se tem a fazer no domínio da reflexão e construção da autonomia docente, nos contextos analisados, e que há obstáculos importantes a serem superados.

Expansão e financiamento da educação superior no contexto de crise econômica e de ajuste fiscal
Authors: Prestes Emília Maria Da Trindade , Sousa Junior Luiz de
Published: December 2017

Este artigo foca as orientações das políticas globalizadas de educação superior e seus efeitos nos processos de expansão e financiamento da educação, particularmente da educação brasileira depois da crise econômica de 2008-2009. O estudo busca averiguar as orientações das políticas internacionais educacionais após os anos de 1990 e suas influências nas mudanças processadas nas políticas de educação superior global e local, particularizando a relação entre expansão e financiamento da educação superior, em tempos de crise econômica e de ajuste fiscal. Adota-se a ideia de que a globalização dos mercados, com consequente impacto nas políticas públicas, atualizou a importância das análises educacionais em uma perspectiva comparativa, refinando teorias e metodologias capazes de explicar as tendências transnacionais e locais que conformam os funcionamentos dos sistemas educacionais. O texto conclui que a estratégia atual sinaliza para a perda do prestigio da educação superior nos orçamentos públicos, fortalecendo sua inserção à lógica do mercado.
O Plano de Ações Articuladas e o regime de colaboração na gestão educacional em municípios paraenses
Authors: Farias Laurimar De Matos , Chaves Vera Lúcia Jacob , Novais Valéria Silva de Moraes
Published: December 2017

O regime de colaboração fixado na CF/1988, visa determinar o compartilhamento do poder entre os entes federativos. No que tange à educação, esse regime tem se estabelecido principalmente por meio de programas implantados pelo governo federal como o Plano de Ações Articuladas (PAR), com o argumento de melhoria da educação básica. Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar as características do regime de colaboração instituídas no desenvolvimento do PAR tendo como foco de análise a dimensão da gestão educacional em cinco municípios paraenses. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foram realizadas análise documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas com 39 sujeitos que atuaram na elaboração do PAR. Os dados coletados foram analisados tendo como base as categorias autonomia e participação. O estudo evidenciou que predomina uma concepção de gestão centralizada e verticalizada que não se coaduna como uma efetiva ação pública que promova, conforme prevê a constituição, um verdadeiro regime de colaboração.
Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional e suas contribuições à pesquisa linguística no contexto brasileiro
Authors: Vian Jr. Orlando , De Souza Maria Medianeira
Published: December 2017

O objetivo deste texto é discutir, a partir da experiência dos pesquisadores no campo, as pesquisas em Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional em dois contextos no Nordeste brasileiro e como estas têm contribuído para a pesquisa linguística no cenário mais amplo do país. São descritos tanto estudos no âmbito dos contextos de cultura (gênero) e de situação (registro), quanto no âmbito dos estratos lexicogramatical e semântico-discursivo. Adota-se a perspectiva da “linguística do consumidor”(HALLIDAY, 1964, 1994; MARTIN, 1998; GOUVEIA, 2006; O’DONNELL, 2011) para discutir trabalhos relativos a gêneros acadêmicos e outros gêneros do discurso, à constituição da oração e do complexo oracional, ao sistema de avaliatividade, ao ensino de línguas e à formação de professores. Os resultados apontam para a produtividade das pesquisas no contexto e, como aponta Martin (1998), tem colocado a teoria à prova e renovado ou ampliado resultados de pesquisas anteriores.
A recategorização sintático-semântica do item gramatical sem: de preposição a conjunção
Authors: Silva Camilo Rosa , Ramos Marta Anaísa Bezerra
Published: December 2017

Analisamos o comportamento funcional da preposição SEM (QUE), nos contextos em que antecede estrutura desenvolvida ou reduzida, observando que essa(s) forma(s) compartilha(m) a propriedade de estabelecer relações lógico-semânticas entre uma oração nuclear e outra satélite. Tal fato provoca a recategorização sintático-semântica da preposição, que atua como nexo oracional. A partir da descrição, nos dados coletados para análise, dos contextos de ocorrência desses conectores/transpositores, objetivamos indicar regularidades de uso dessas estruturas oracionais, discutindo os condicionamentos linguísticos, textuais e interacionais que concorrem para que uma estrutura tenha preferência sobre a outra. Nessa perspectiva, buscamos ampliar o estudo do mecanismo de articulação via hipotaxe adverbial.
Construções correlatas aditivas e disjuntivas
Authors: Rosário Ivo Costa
Published: December 2017

Este artigo visa a discutir o estatuto da correlação e o papel dos correlatores no âmbito das construções aditivas e disjuntivas do português. A tradição gramatical defende a visão dicotômica de que só há dois processos de ligação de sentenças: a subordinação e a coordenação. No campo da coordenação, as aditivas e as alternativas são normalmente reunidas em um mesmo grupo, sem a devida atenção para suas especificidades. A partir do instrumental teórico da Linguística Funcional Centrada no Uso, por meio de uma pesquisa baseada em dados reais de língua escrita formal contemporânea, o artigo demonstra as diferenças entre aditivas coordenadas e aditivas correlatas, bem como entre alternativas coordenadas e disjuntivas correlatas.
Functional Discourse Grammar and acquisitional adequacy
Authors: Velasco Daniel García
Published: December 2017

This article explores the compatibility of Functional Discourse Grammar with Tomasello’s (2003; 2008) Social-Pragmatic theory of language acquisition. Section 1 follows Boland (1999, 2006) and others who have claimed that theories of language should be constructed in such a way that they are compatible with what is known about the process of first language acquisition. In section 2, I will briefly explore the main approaches to the study of language acquisition in current linguistics and I will claim that a functional theory of language should preferably be compatible with a constructivist approach, given the paramount role they confer on social, communicative and cultural factors in language acquisition. The paper will then concentrate on examining the compatibility of FDG with Tomasello’s (2003, 2008) theory of language acquisition. My conclusion will be that many aspects of the internal architecture of FDG and the analytical tools employed in the model find direct correlate in Tomasello’s work and thus FDG seems to be in an excellent position to meet Boland’s standard of acquisitional adequacy.
Ecosystem Transformations - Natural and Anthropogenic Forcings
Authors: Engelbrecht Hubert
Published: December 2017

The evolution of ecosystems and life embedded in the spheres of Earth, as
well as the theoretical background - entropic dissipation of energy and matter causing
rising complexity - is outlined. This is followed by a description of how natural -
terrestrial and extra-terrestrial - forcings (e.g. discrete volcanic eruptions, large igneous
provinces, silicate weathering, continental drift, albedo, bioevolution; Milankovitch
cycles, solar irradiance, galactic tides, impactors, gamma ray bursts) changed the
ecosystems in the geological past and how life adapted to and transformed these
ecosystems. Examples for the latter case are the Precambrian Great Oxygenation Event,
the colonization of continents by plants since the Silurian and the spread of mammals
since the early Tertiary. Brain growth, the invention of tools, the controlled use of fire,
cooking, and creative organization of niches enabled hominines to escape natural
habitats to innumerable artificial habitats. The didactic value of fossilized remnants of
geological climate indicators and of ecosystem changes (preserved in geotopes) is
emphasized.
Soil and Land Surface
Authors: Engelbrecht Hubert
Published: December 2017

The impacts imply direct and indirect, physical, chemical and biochemical
alterations of land surface, soil and rock. The impairments include: pollution by
atmospheric immissions; degradation; compaction; tillage of monocultures; overuse by
abandonment of the three field system; erosion; more frequent wildfires; unconfined
landfills; biocide application and excess fertilisation in agricultural activity;
degradation by deforestation and land use change; soil sealing by land take; drainage of
peat land and mires; impairment of land surfaces by open cast and underground
mining, by underground constructions, as well as extractive methods (in situ leaching);
numerous nuclear underground tests; creation of pollution hot spots (brownfields) by
industry, military, and in urban areas; contamination due to large scale disposal of
waste from settlements, industry, and agriculture in landfills; toxic waste spread from
dam failures of tailings and other deposit confinements; climate change induced heat
and drought; and altered soil carbon uptake caused by the introduction of xenospecies
plants. Soil impairment by industry disasters (e.g. Bhopal, Chernobyl) and by tailings
and waste heaps created by the mining industry is emphasised. Contaminations persist
over long periods, because of the stability of soil, its sorptive properties and predomiant
immobility of its components.
Glaciers, Ice Sheets, Sea Ice, and Permafrost Areas
Authors: Engelbrecht Hubert
Published: December 2017

The global ice volume, thickness, and coverage has been shrinking since ca.
1900. Since 1950, this has been caused by the anthropogenic part of atmospheric
warming. The following effects of ice mass wasting and deglaciation are discussed:
diminution of ice albedo; input of huge meltwater masses into the oceans and its
influence on oceanic circulation and contribution to sea level rise; more frequent
landslides, rockfalls, and glacial lake outburst floods; switching of cryospheric sinks
into sources; secondary transportation of released pollutants by meltwater and
deterioration of drinking water quality; transition of alpine runoff regimes from icemelt
to snowmelt domains; decrease of Arctic land ice and multiyear sea ice; diminution of
terrestrial permafrost1 zones; thawing induced destabilisation of Arctic technical
infrastructure; emission of CO2 and CH4 from permafrost areas because of enhanced
microbial activity; labilisation of shelf permafrost zones due to boreal sea water
warming; and increasing primary production adjacent to decreasing shelf ice areas and
to drifting icebergs. Warming and deposition of water or wind driven particulate
contaminants (e.g. microplastic, aerosol) in high latitudes are fostered by the Arctic
Amplification effect and by the global distillation phenomenon. Shrinkage of highlatitude
ice occurred due to heat transfer from the atmosphere and sea water (retreat of
grounding line). Pollution of Arctic regions has occurred due to poor decommissioning
of military facilities and to oil spills.
Rivers, Lakes, Reservoirs, and Inland Seas
Authors: Engelbrecht Hubert
Published: December 2017

Intensified agriculture, input of sewage and waste, as well as deforestation in
the 20th century in Europe caused a decline of river water quality and an increase in its
turbidity, and rapid terrestrialisation of lakes. The situation was improved by sewerages
and water purification plants, which, however, cannot retain all pollutants and toxins.
Among the problems are elevated nitrate concentrations, Hg, microplastics and waste
heat from power plants. Generally, immissions from mines, industry, and urban areas
have impaired hydrochemistry of rivers and lakes. Examples: Potassium mining
salinised the river Werra; unconventional oil development at Athabasca impaired
ambient catchments with toxic aerosols. Ecological and hydrological degradation of
very large lakes occurred due to the introduction of xenospecies to foster industrial fish
catch, input of acid mine drainage, poor sewage treatment, nearby overgrazing and
deforestation, and excess water abstraction from affluents. Washout of agricultural
nutrients and inappropriate disposal of sewage effected vertical shoaling of the world's
largest anoxic, sulphidic water body in the Black Sea. The global trend of lakes
towards CO2 supersaturation results from enhanced input of dissolved organic carbon
(DOC), promoting microbial respiration. In remote glacial lakes, climate warming has
caused reduction of ice coverage and of permafrost, and effected substantial alteration
of lacustrine hydrochemistries. A generalisation of effects of anthropogenic activities to
the flow variability of large rivers is not possible. However, engineering, freshwater
withdrawal, and extraction of sand and gravel fostered river bed erosion and caused
delta starvation, subsidence, and coastal erosion. Hydrochemical studies recognised
severe pollution of parts of surface waters in China. Radioactive contamination of
surface waters occurred near nuclear plants and repositories.
Marine Shores
Authors: Engelbrecht Hubert
Published: December 2017

Interferences of elevated human pressure at marine coasts, and contaminants
transported by marine currents and rivers contribute to forced degradation of littoral
environments. Additional impairment has occurred due to inappropriate technical
constructions to protect built-up areas against floods caused by sea level rise. Delta
subsidence due to upriver damming, on and offshore hydrocarbon extraction, beach
sand mining, onshore ground water pumping, and soil compaction and loading because
of coastal urbanisation has resulted in accelerated sea level rise, marine ingressions,
and considerable land loss. Nutrient-rich runoffs, produced by intensified agriculture,
effected the origination of - partially temporary - hypoxic coastal water bodies.
Eutrophication and degradation of littoral waters also result from industrial
aquafarming. Harbour mud dredged for navigational purposes has been contaminated
with toxic metals. Oil and gas developments and havaries have caused severe
hydrocarbon pollution in littoral areas several times. Toxic legacies exist in the form of
waste-filled river and coastal impoundments, now exposed to sea level rise. Because of
the mobilisation of toxic leachates and submarine discharge of contaminated plumes
(e.g. in estuaries), redistribution of toxic metal species and their bioaccumulation
occurs. Saline brines, discharged from desalination plants in arid climate zones to
compensate for water scarcity, negatively impact water quality of ambient littoral
regions. Accidentally dispersed nuclear weapon material contaminated the inner shelf
area off Thule Airbase.
Atmosphere and Lowermost Exosphere
Authors: Engelbrecht Hubert
Published: December 2017

The anthropogenic modifications of the atmosphere's trace gases and their
heat content occurred because of world population growth, agriculture, industrial
economy, deforestation, land use change, mobility, and urbanisation. CO2
concentration increased from ca. 280 ppm in 1780 to 402 ppm in 2016 and, according
to the cumulative greenhouse effect, the near earth surface temperature rose on average
by 0,9 °C from 1850 to 2014. An estimated 2 teraT of CO2 have been emitted into the
atmosphere since 1760. The emission histories of other greenhouse gases (CO, CH4,
N2O, NOx, CFC) and their cumulative radiative forcings are given (ca. 3W/m2 relative
to 1750). NH3-emissions increased from 6 MT in 1890 to 32.5 MT in 1995. They
contribute to expansion of subtropical arid zones, northward shift of the intertropical
convergence zone, and poleward retreat of mid-latitude low-pressure tracks. The
eastern Mediterranean drought (1998-2012) is explained by climate warming.
Frequency and magnitude of events during Australian wildfire season increased
significantly from 1973-2010. Arctic amplification caused the long-lasting boreal
summer weather extremes of the last decades. SO2 pollution was reduced in
industrialised countries due to implementation of filters in the 1970s. Sources and
histories of particulate matters, as well as the development of their radiative forcings
are given. Cumulative global Hg-emissions between 1850-2010 are as much as 350,000
T. Significant decreases in particulate matter in urban air have occured since the 1920s
in developed countries. Radioactive releases due to nuclear havaries and above ground
nuclear tests are given. The stratospheric fraction of the latter persists over decades.
The lowermost exosphere is littered with astro garbage (ca. 23,000 objects), raising
safety risks of operating spacecraft.

Violência psicológica na família e a manifestação do complexo de bode expiatório
Authors: Coutinho Giovana
Published: December 2017

A temática do bode expiatório, na abordagem psicológica, é terreno riquíssimo e elucidativo de uma série de fenômenos observados no cotidiano dos consultórios. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido a partir da compreensão dos primeiros passos da construção da personalidade humana, por meio do estudo das representações da criança na família, desde os primórdios da história, analisando como a atenção dispensada a ela pelos adultos atua na sua psique quando ela chega à idade adulta. A exposição a fatores que influenciaram as famílias na maneira como elas têm visto as crianças ao longo dos séculos é um dado ontológico assimilado pelo inconsciente coletivo, criando um registro no psiquismo, nomeado por sua vez como arquétipo pela psicologia analítica. A questão apresentada neste artigo busca apontar as origens daquilo que hoje é identificado como o complexo do bode expiatório, que tem como base o arquétipo do bode expiatório. O propósito de relacionar o tema à violência psicológica é uma provocação, com o objetivo de levar o leitor a refletir sobre o produto de tal associação. O filme "Gente como a Gente" (Ordinary people) é usado para articular, simbolicamente, a ocorrência do fenômeno do bode expiatório na família.
Computerized Cognitive Training in Children With Autism and Intellectual Disabilities: Feasibility and Satisfaction Study (Preprint)
Authors: Benyakorn Songpoom , Calub Catrina A , Riley Steven J , Schneider Andrea , Iosif Ana-Maria , Solomon Marjorie , Hessl David , Schweitzer Julie B
Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND

Researchers are increasingly interested in testing and developing computerized cognitive training interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorder due to the limited accessibility of treatments for this disorder. Understanding the feasibility of testing cognitive interventions for this population is critical, especially for individuals with ASD who have low to moderate intellectual ability.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of computerized cognitive training as measured by attrition rate and a parent satisfaction survey.

METHODS

A total of 26 participants aged 8-17 years with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and significant intellectual impairment were enrolled (mean age 11.1 years). They were instructed to complete 25 sessions of Cogmed Working Memory Training in 5 to 6 weeks with coach assistance. Attrition rate and parent satisfaction surveys were measured after the completion of training.

RESULTS

Most participants (96%, 25/26) completed the training and indicated high satisfaction (>88%). However, among the participants who completed the training, 5 participants (19%) were unable to finish in 6 weeks, the recommended training period by Cogmed. Parents noted various positive (eg, voice-overs) and negative (eg, particular graphic and sounds associated with a stimulus) features of the game that they thought affected their child’s response.

CONCLUSIONS

Children with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual impairments can successfully participate in computerized cognitive training interventions but may require additional weeks to complete the training beyond the time needed for children without intellectual impairments. The overall completion rate, with extended time to complete the training, was high. Developers of cognitive training programs for this population should take into account potential issues regarding the noise level of stimuli and characteristics of the visual graphics.
Parental Activation and Obesity-Related Health Behaviors Among a Racially and Ethnically Diverse Population of Low-Income Pediatric Patients: Protocol for a Cross-Sectional Survey Study (Preprint)
Authors: Showell Nakiya N , Koebnick Corinna , DeCamp Lisa R , Sidell Margo , Rivera Rodriguez Tatiahna , Jimenez Jennifer J , Young Deborah , Thornton Rachel LJ
Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND

Despite a recent decline in the obesity prevalence among preschool-aged children, obesity remains disproportionately high among children from low-income racial or ethnic minority families. Promoting healthy lifestyles (eg, obesity-preventative behaviors) in primary care settings is particularly important for young children, given the frequency of preventative health visits and parent-provider interactions. Higher adoption of specific health behaviors is correlated with increased patient activation (ie, skill, confidence, and knowledge to manage their health care) among adults. However, no published study, to date, has examined the relationship between parental activation and obesity-related health behaviors among young children.

OBJECTIVE

The goal of this study is to measure parental activation in low-income parents of preschoolers in 2 large health systems and to examine the association with diet, screen-time, and physical activity behaviors.

METHODS

We will conduct a cross-sectional study of parents of preschool-aged patients (2-5 years) receiving primary care at multiple clinic sites within 2 large health care systems. Study participants, low-income black, Hispanic, and white parents of preschool-aged patients, are being recruited across both health systems to complete orally administered surveys.

RESULTS

Recruitment began in December 2017 and is expected to end in May 2018. A total of 267 low-income parents of preschool-aged children have been enrolled across both clinic sites. We are enrolling an additional 33 parents to reach our goal sample size of 300 across both health systems. The data analysis will be completed in June 2018.

CONCLUSIONS

This protocol outlines the first study to fully examine parental activation and its relationship with parent-reported diet, physical activity, and screen-time behaviors among low-income preschool-aged patients. It involves recruitment across 2 geographically distinct areas and resulting from a partnership between researchers at 2 different health systems with multiple clinical sites. This study will provide new knowledge about how parental activation can potentially be incorporated as a strategy to address childhood obesity disparities in primary care settings.

Correlations between objective behavioral features collected from mobile and wearable devices, and depressive mood symptoms in affective disorders: A systematic review (Preprint)
Authors: Rohani Darius Adam , Faurholt-Jepsen Maria , Kessing Lars Vedel , Bardram Jakob Eyvind
Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND

Several studies have recently reported on the correlation between objective behavioral features collected via mobile and wearable technologies and depressive mood symptoms in affective disorders (unipolar disorder and bipolar disorder). However, individual studies have reported on different and sometimes contradicting results, and no quantitative systematic review of the correlation between objective behavioral features and depressive mood symptoms has been published.

OBJECTIVE

The objectives of this systematic review were to 1) provide an overview of correlations between objective behavioral features and depressive mood symptoms reported in the literature, and 2) investigate the strength and statistical significance of these correlations across studies. The answers to these questions could potentially help in the identification on which objective features have shown most promising results across studies.

METHODS

A systematic review of the scientific literature reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines was conducted. IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, Web of Sciences, PsychINFO, Pubmed, DBLP computer science bibliography, HTA, DARE, Scopus and Science Direct were searched and supplemented by hand examination of reference lists. The search ended 04/27-2017 and was limited to studies published 2007-2017.

RESULTS

A total of 46 studies were eligible for the review. These studies identified and investigated 85 unique objective behavioral features covering 17 various sensor data inputs. These features can be categorized into seven overall categories. Several features were found to have statistically significant and consistent correlation directionality with mood assessment (e.g., the amount of home stay, sleep duration, vigorous activity), while others showed directionality discrepancies across the studies (e.g., amount of SMS sent, time you spend between locations, frequency of smartphone screen activity).

CONCLUSIONS

Several studies showed consistent and statistically significant correlations between objective behavioral features collected by mobile and wearable technology and depressive mood symptoms. Hence, continuous and every-day monitoring of behavioral aspects in affective disorders could be a promising supplementary objective measure to estimate depressive mood symptoms. However, the evidence is limited by methodological issues in individual studies and by a lack of standardization of 1) the collected objective features, 2) the mood assessment methodology, and 3) the statistical methods applied. Therefore, consistency in data collection and analysis in future studies is needed making replication studies as well as meta-analyses possible.

ABSTRACTThe dualism of national land law appears before the formation of the agrarian law through the Basic Agrarian Law (BAL), has not been fully terminated. Various opportunities or legal vacuum still encountered, especially in relation to the provision of rights to land based on adat law. Pekulen land derived from adat law with communal characteristics/ joint ownership and land tenure in rotation, in fact is still exist in rural Java. Its posision became an important element in the village agrarian structure has the potential to make agrarian justice through policies at the local level.INTISARIDualisme hukum tanah nasional yang muncul sebelum terbentuknya hukum agraria melalui UUPA, belum sepenuhnya dapat diakhiri.

AbstractDisputes are inevitable. Disputes can occur in almost all aspects of life . In Karo communities, disputes are generally associated with the object of inheritance . Land as one of the objects of inheritance is considered to have  more value in Karo communities . Therefor  disputes that occur are usually associated with land ownership . Due to the disputes that happens is still in the realm Karo local law, then  Karo customary law and existing national laws should be taken into account.IntisariSengketa merupakan hal yang tidak terelakkan dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Sengketa dapat terjadi dalam hampir seluruh aspek kehidupan. Pada masyarakat adat Karo sengketa yang terjadi pada umumnya berkaitan dengan objek waris. Tanah sebagai salah satu objek waris dianggap memiliki nilai “lebih” dalam masayarakat adat Karo. Untuk itu sengketa waris adat yang terjadi biasanya berkaitan dengan kepemilikan tanah. Dikarenakan sengketa waris yang terjadi masih dalam ranah masyarakat adat, maka dalam penyelesaiannya juga tetap memperhatikan hukum adat dan hukum nasional yang ada.
PUNISHMENTS OF BRAHMIN WOMEN MARRIAGE TO MEN OF DIFFERENT CASTES IN BALI (IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF HINDU VALUES)
Authors: Sadnyini Ida Ayu
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Brahmin women marriage to men of different castes in Bali is called intermarriage in terms of customary law, commonly is called asupundung. Punishments for such marriages still exist among people, especially patiwangi ceremonies and other social punishments. This study is conducted based on that issue. The research problems are how do punishmentsof Brahmin women marriage to men of different castes apply? How are marriage punishments in the perspective of Hindu values? The method used is empirical legal research using primary and secondary data which then are analyzed using legal theory, principles and teachings of Hinduism in qualitative descriptive and finally arguments are provided. Punishments for this marriage include: killed by jumping into the fire, drowned in a sea with a stone tied around legs, isolated, downgrading, not allowed to go home, refined language. These punishments in Hindu perspective are contrary to the teachings of Tri Hita Karana, Tri Kaya Parisudha, Vasudaiva, Kutumbakam, Tat WamAsi, Manusapada, Ardhanareswari, Akhroda, Ahimsa.
THE NORMATIVE IRRELEVANCE OF AUSTIN’S COMMAND THEORY IN INTERNATIONAL LAW
Authors: Munyao Allan
Published: December 2017

AbstractJohn Austin has been widely criticized and supported in equal measure for his bold assertion that international law is not ‘real law’ due to the lack of a ‘sovereign’. This article explores Austin’s position and analyzes it as against its veracity in relation to current legal systems; modern contemporary international law; and analysis of legal questions in the international arena. While indeed Austin’s position was true about the legal systems of his time, the same cannot be transposed into the international legal system. If on the other hand the transposition is necessary, it will be shown that international law is indeed ‘real law’ with a somewhat real ‘sovereign’ just like any municipal law
PENILAIAN TERHADAP KESESUAIAN ANTARA PENETAPAN BEA KELUAR ATAS EKSPOR MINERAL DENGAN ASAS KEPASTIAN HUKUM DAN ASAS EKONOMIS

AbstractThe regulation of the mineral mining sector underwent significant changes as a result of the enactment of the government’s policy to increase export duties on mineral exports. This paper examines wether the new regulation is in conformity with the principle of legal certainty and the principle of economy, as well as trying to find the ideal scheme in determining the Mineral Export Levy. This research concludes that there is conformity between new regulation and legal certainty, but there is unconformity with the principle of economy. The ideal scheme is to include consideration of the realitation of justice.IntisariRegulasi sektor usaha pertambangan mineral mengalami perubahan signifikan sebagai akibat ditetapkannya kebijakan pemerintah memungut bea keluar terhadap ekspor mineral. Tulisan ini berusaha mengkaji regulasi tersebut dalam kesesuaiannya dengan asas kepastian hukum dan asas ekonomi, serta mencoba mencari skema ideal dalam menentukan Bea Keluar Ekspor Mineral. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa Penetapan BK Mineral telah sesuai dengan asas kepastian hukum namun belum sesuai dengan asas ekonomis. Skema yang ideal di dalam penatapan BK Ekspor Mineral adalah dengan memasukkan pertimbangan realisasi keadilan

O retrocesso conservador do Projeto “Escola sem Partido”: uma análise ancorada no pensamento de Antonio Gramsci
Authors: Flach Simone De Fátima
Published: December 2017

Este texto tem por objetivo discutir, a partir do pensamento de Antonio Gramsci, o Projeto de Lei nº 193/2016, denominado de “Escola sem Partido”, em tramitação no Senado Federal (PLS), e as possíveis implicações de sua aprovação para a educação brasileira. Para tanto, apresenta-se a origem e os pressupostos que orientam o Projeto de lei em confronto com alguns escritos do pensador sardo. Ao final, conclui-se que não existe neutralidade na proposta, visto que ela está comprometida com os interesses econômicos, políticos e religiosos que se fazem presentes no pensamento hegemônico que fundamenta a atual forma de sociabilidade.

O artigo põe em discussão a forma como tem sido tradicionalmente ensinado, nas séries iniciais, os chamados problemas matemáticos. Os argu­mentos buscam trazer a tona evidências sobre os limites da utilização elo algoritmo como melhor estratégia de resolução de problemas. Ao trazer sua experiência como docente do Colégio de Aplicação da Universidade do Esta­do do Rio ele Janeiro, a autora reafirma a necessidade da escola incorporar, em seu cotidiano de ensino-aprendizagem, as múltiplas estratégias criadas pelos alunos e alunas para a solução dos diferentes problemas.
Stochastic Theory of Sound Insulation of Pipeline Cylindrical Shell

Published: December 2017

В ряде случаев, имеющих определенное практическое значение, представляет интерес вопрос о способности тонкостенной оболочки локализовать волновую энергию вблизи получателя, который окружен этой оболочкой, т. е. отделен ею от внешней среды. Данный феномен позволяет нам говорить о внутренней звукоизоляции. Определена спектральная плотность интенсивности давления от случайного излучателя при отсутствии оболочки. Решена интереснейшая задача прохождения случайного волнового поля через цилиндрическую оболочку от точечного источника и т. д. Рассматривается задача звукоизоляции цилиндрических оболочек, расположенных вблизи источника излучения. Показано, что звукоизоляция растет немонотонно с частотой и имеет провалы, обусловленные резонансными явлениями. Полученные результаты позволяют сделать вывод, что здесь, как и в случае звукоизоляции оболочки от внешнего поля (кожуха), существенное значение имеют следующие физические явления: звукоизоляция немонотонно возрастает с частотой; провалы в спектре звукоизоляции обусловлены резонансными явлениями в оболочке и воздушном объеме, заключенном под оболочкой; при экспериментальном анализе внутренней звукоизоляции оболочек (по стандартной измерительной методике) провалы в звукоизоляции не наблюдаются из-за осреднения в октавных полосах частот по немонотонности частотного хода коэффициента звукоизоляции. Это приводит к существенному отклонению от элементарного закона масс. Степень отклонения при этом зависит от плотности собственных частот в данной октаве.

Обоснована актуальность развития маркетингового динамического потенциала предприятий оборонно-промышленного комплекса в условиях диверсификации как источника некопируемых конкурентных преимуществ в условиях динамичной внешней среды при переходе к выпуску продукции гражданского и двойного назначения. Проведен анализ теоретического содержания динамических способностей предприятий, обоснована структура маркетингового динамического потенциала, исследована взаимосвязь процессов диверсификации и маркетингового динамического потенциала предприятия. Исследована роль маркетингового динамического потенциала при формировании стратегического характера экономической деятельности предприятия, его гибкости, мобильности, способности к адаптации, приращению его капитализации, инвестиционной привлекательности. Выделены две основные группы, составляющие ресурсы динамического потенциала, представленные материальными и нематериальными активами. Определены базовые динамические способности на уровнях оперативной, тактической и стратегической маркетинговой деятельности предприятий оборонно-промышленного комплекса: способность формировать и использовать каналы маркетинговых коммуникаций; способность создавать и обеспечивать работу каналов товародвижения; непрерывное сегментирование; позиционирование; способность формировать маркетинговые стратегии и политику работы на рынках; разрабатывать новые товары (модифицировать имеющиеся), создавать партнерские отношения, интегрироваться в бизнес-сети; создавать и управлять брендами; создавать стратегии предприятия; согласовывать интересы стейкхолдеров; формировать инвестиционную привлекательность бизнеса. Установлена взаимосвязь между динамическими способностями и ресурсами маркетинговой деятельности.
