Visegrad Countries - Agrarian Foreign Trade Development in Relation to Their Total Merchandise Trade Performance
Authors: Svatoš Miroslav , Smutka Luboš
Published: January 2023

The paper analyzes merchandise and especially agrarian trade of Visegrad (V4) countries. It especially analyzes their mutual trade relations. The main aim is to identify changes in the agricultural sector which have happened during the last decade and to compare differences existing in the area of merchandise and agricultural trade development. Another very important objective is related to mutual trade realized among V4 countries. In this case the paper identifies basic trends in the area of each country’s trade development. Mutual agrarian trade competitiveness is also analyzed. On the basis of the findings, it can be said that merchandise and agricultural trade for each V4 country changed significantly during the analysed time period. In relation to agricultural trade it can be mentioned that it represents only a marginal part of the total merchandise trade. Agrarian trade for individual V4 countries’ commodity structures as well as the territorial structure are very significantly concentrated. The predominant majority of agricultural trade – export as well as import – is carried out with EU countries. In this case it is necessary to emphasize that V4 countries are also important trade partners for each other. On the basis of Visegrad countries’ mutual trade analysis it is possible to say that the main traders active on the V4 market are the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The most competitive actors operating in the V4 market are Poland and Hungary. If we analyze each country’s export performance we can see that the V4 market is dominated by Poland and the Czech Republic.
Telework and Personnel Risk
Authors: Wyrzykowska Barbara
Published: January 2023

Flexibility is currently gaining in significance in the field of employment. The ability to freely select the time and the place of work is of great help for both the employee and employer. One of the forms of flexible employment that facilitates such solutions is teleworking. In addition to the many benefits brought forth by this form of employment, employees and employers must also take into consideration the personnel risk associated with telework. The article focuses on the problem of risks faced by a teleworker and those borne by the employer in connection with the introduction of teleworking. The study is theoretical and empirical nature, taking advantage of materials in literature covering personnel risk and telework, articles from the Internet and empirical data contained in reports from PARP [Polska Agencja Rozwoju Przedsiębiorczości – Polish Agency for Enterprise Development] and PBS DGA [market research company] studies. The basic methods of preparation consist of analysis and synthesis, as well as induction, deduction and reduction. The conducted study reveals, among others, that the implementation of teleworking carries with it personnel risk that applies to two entities - the teleworker and the employer. In order to reduce or minimise such risk, it is necessary to create new rules for teamwork coordination and supervision, as well as make amendments to some legal solutions aimed at encouraging employers to conclude employment contracts.
Effect of Mini-Dose Ready-to-Use Liquid Glucagon on Preventing Exercise-Associated Hypoglycemia in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes
Authors: Aronson Ronnie , Riddell Michael C. , Conoscenti Valentina , Junaidi M. Khaled
Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE

To determine effect of mini-dose, ready-to-use glucagon on incidence of exercise-associated hypoglycemia (EAH) in adults with type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Individuals initially participated in the in-clinic training phase for which they were randomly assigned to a crossover design: 150 µg glucagon (treatment arm A) or placebo (arm B) subcutaneously, immediately before exercise, plus 50% reduction in continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) basal delivery rate. Completers were then rerandomly assigned in the 12-week outpatient investigational phase: arm A, B, or open-label C, 150 µg glucagon alone. Participants were to undertake their usual aerobic exercise at moderate to high intensity for 30 to 75 min in real-world settings. Data were analyzed for incidence of level 1 hypoglycemia based on self-monitoring blood glucose and for various secondary and exploratory end points.

RESULTS

Of 48 participants who completed the training phase, 45 continued to the outpatient phase. For all exercise sessions in the outpatient phase (n = 795), incidence of level 1 hypoglycemia was lower in both glucagon arms (A, 12% [P < 0.0001]; C, 16% [P = 0.0032]) than in the placebo arm (B, 39%). Times below range, in range, and above range from 0 to 300 min did not significantly differ among treatment arms. Consumed grams of exercise carbohydrates were lower with glucagon use than with placebo use but did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.12). Adverse events were similar among treatment arms.

CONCLUSIONS

Mini-dose glucagon with or without 50% reduction in CSII basal delivery rate may help to decrease EAH incidence in adults with type 1 diabetes.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate glycemic outcomes in youth (aged 13–25 years) with type 1 diabetes and high-risk glycemic control (HbA1c ≥8.5% [69 mmol/mol]) on multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy after transitioning to advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) therapy.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This prospective, 3-month, single-arm, dual-center study enrolled 20 participants, and all completed the study.

RESULTS

HbA1c decreased from 10.5 ± 2.1% (91.2 ± 22.8 mmol/mol) at baseline to 7.6 ± 1.1% (59.7 ± 11.9 mmol/mol), and time spent in target range 70–180 mg/dL (3.9–10.0 mmol/L) increased from 27.6 ± 13.2% at baseline to 66.5 ± 9.8% after 3 months of AHCL. Two episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis attributed to infusion set failure occurred.

CONCLUSIONS

AHCL has the potential to improve suboptimal glycemia in youth with type 1 diabetes previously on MDI therapy.

Published: January 2023

Marine renewable energy is a continually growing topic of both commercial and academic research sectors. While not as developed as other renewable technologies such as those deployed within the wind sector, there is substantial technological crossover coupled with the inherent high energy density of water, that has helped push marine renewables into the wider renewable agenda. Thus, an ever expanding range of projects are in various stages of development.As with all technological developments, there are a range of factors that can con-tribute to the rate of development or eventual success. One of the main difficulties, when looking at marine renewable technologies in a comparative view to other en-ergy generation technologies, is that the operational environment is physically more complex: Energy must be supplied in diverse physical conditions, that temporally fluctuate with a range of time scales. The constant questions to the iteration to the local ecology. The increased operational fatigue of deployed devices. The financial risk associated within a recent sector.This work presents the continual research related to the computational research development of different marine renewable technologies that were under develop-ment of several institutional bodies at the time of writing this document.The scope has a wide envelopment as the nature of novel projects means that the project failure rate is high. Thus, forced through a combination of reasons related to financial, useful purpose and intellectual property, the research covers distinct projects.
O magistério pós conciliar e o ecumenismo - Uma conversão de cima para baixo
Authors: Leite Huanderson Silva
Published: January 2023

Resumo: A divisão entre os cristãos é um escândalo para o mundo e prejudica claramente o anúncio da Boa Nova do Evangelho. O Concílio Vaticano II, influenciado pelos movimentos bíblico, missionário, leigo, litúrgico e ecumênico, colocou a Igreja Católica num posicionamento de diálogo com a sociedade, com as ciências, com as outras religiões e com outras expressões cristãs. A Igreja Católica, que até então insistia numa Teologia do Retorno, vai se colocar numa posição de acolhida e comunhão com as diversas expressões cristãs. Esse mover do Espírito culminará, num mover de unidade, mediante a abertura de João XXIII, perpassando vários documentos do Concílio Vaticano II e levados em frente por seus sucessores. Deste modo, se nas camadas mais populares, muitas vezes, esse diálogo não se realiza, ao menos numa linha teológica é possível encontrá-lo. Neste artigo, analisaremos o contexto ecumênico pré-conciliar, o posicionamento do papa João XXIII e os desdobramentos dentro do próprio Concílio. Além disso, visitaremos as falas e as iniciativas do Magistério pós-conciliar, para verificarmos os avanços teológicos conquistados neste quesito.

O evento Pascal - lugar da fé trinitária e conteúdo da revelação
Authors: Machado Renato da Silva
Published: January 2023

Ater-se a questão de Deus na teologia faz-se fundamental, seja pelo considerável número de pessoas que se declaram sem fé, seja pelo número crescente daqueles que embora creiam em Deus se afastam das instituições religiosas, seja ainda pelos discursos sobre Deus que carregam em si certas posturas de fechamento, segregação e intolerância.  Neste sentido o presente artigo tem a pretensão de contribuir com o tema central do cristianismo que é a revelação do Deus Trino em Jesus Cristo, sobretudo no evento pascal de Cristo verificando que a reflexão cristã sobre Deus só pode ter como ponto de partida o evento da Ressurreição do Crucificado.Para se percorrer tal caminho, se refletirá inicialmente sobre a relação entre fé e razão, sobretudo para mostrar a co-relação entre as mesmas. Depois, se verificará a beleza do Deus revelado em Jesus Cristo, beleza esta que atrai e impulsiona a se tecer novas relações de acolhimento  e comunhão. Tal percurso contribuirá para perceber o quanto é necessário pautar o discurso teológico no mistério pascal afim de que o cristianismo transpareça neste mundo com sua força de encantamento e transformação
Amazônia e Roma: Revelação e decolonialidade em um fazer teológico intercultural
Authors: Melo João , Sbardelotti Emerson
Published: January 2023

O artigo busca evidenciar a relação entre Amazônia e Roma como lugar teológico para a recepção de ‘novos aspectos da Revelação’ (Querida Amazônia, n.67-69), não obstante suas contradições. A partir dos teólogos da Teologia India e de outros autores que recepcionam o pensamento decolonial e intercultural na teologia da Revelação, traçamos um itinerário que se inicia com a retomada da consagrada doutrina das sementes do Verbo, considerando as narrativas da Revelação e a relação entre Evangelho e cultura para daí colher pistas para a descolonização da própria Revelação e da inculturação, a fim de abraçar a interculturalidade como meio decolonial.
Revelação e Escondimento: uma leitura a partir das tríades de Bruno Forte
Authors: Machado Renato da Silva
Published: January 2023

Este artigo, partindo das tríades desenvolvidas por Bruno Forte apresenta a Revelação cristã como uma dialética de abertura e ocultamento, um manifestar-se amoroso de Deus para o ser humano que se depara com o Mistério de Deus com admiração e temor.  Neste encontro, o ser humano percebe a grandeza sem limites de Deus e a sua incapacidade de conter, no intelecto ou na emoção, o dado revelado. Com as tríades Advento, Êxodo e Encontro; Silêncio, Palavra e Encontro; memória, profecia e companhia, Bruno Forte reflete sobre a ontologia do mistério e sobre a história humana na sua relação com a Trindade Santa.A leitura deste artigo colaborará a pensar corretamente o conceito de Re-velatio, não como captura, por parte humana, de Deus em seu Mistério, mas antes como um posicionar-se de Deus diante do ser humano a ponto de provocar nele uma busca constante do Mistério.

Published: January 2023

Assim como os primeiros cristãos, as CEBs e as Comunidades Eclesiais Missionárias encontram a sua inspiração na pessoa de Jesus Cristo e no seu modo de viver; hoje, sob novas matizes. Com a primeira, os cristãos começam a se tornar protagonistas da missão, mesmo com as limitações de acesso à formação e informação, enquanto que com a segunda, eles se veem inseridos em novos areópagos do mundo moderno, com outras provocações. As continuidades e descontinuidades se dão, justamente, nas perspectivas e desafios desses dois modos de ser Igreja, que lhes são próprios, e que continuam a fortalecer a presença da Igreja de Cristo no mundo, diante os novos desafios e necessidades do Povo de Deus.
humanismo do padre Antônio Vieira
Authors: Silva Mendes Alex
Published: January 2023

O profundo humanista e homem de ação que foi Vieira, não podia ficar indiferente à brutalidade com que os índios e os escravos negros eram tratados no Brasil. Uma prática, aliás, consentida por toda a Europa colonizadora. O missionário tudo viu e tudo denunciou na corte portuguesa. O que pedia era dignidade e tolerância para com os povos subjugados. Conhecedor da realidade, o humanista cristão atravessou praticamente todo o século XVII atento aos problemas políticos, econômicos, sociais e religiosos, com propostas reformistas avançadas para a mentalidade da época. Como a defesa dos direitos humanos dos índios ou o fim da discriminação que existia entre cristãos-novos e cristãos-velhos. Em sua obra profética a Clavis Prophetarum, Vieira expõe seus sonhos de reconciliação entre judeus e cristãos. De acordo com (COUTO, 2009, p. 99), três sermões da série de 30 são consagrados exclusivamente à escravidão negra: 14º, 20º, 27º. Esses três sermões foram pregados diretamente aos negros da Irmandade do Rosário dos Pretos. Vieira passou a maior parte do ano de 1653 em São Luís, onde defendia a liberdade dos índios no seu sermão da Primeira Dominga de Quaresma (ou das Tentações).

Leisure time is an important part of university students’ lives and affects their quality of lives; that’s why the present study was aimed at examining satisfaction rate with leisure time in a sample of Academy of Police Force students. Research instrument of survey of satisfaction rate with leisure time was carried out through an intentional sampling with a survey group size of 439 (100 %) Academy of Police Force male (43.28 %, n = 190) and female (56.72 %, n = 249) students (aged ± 21.50 years). Examining the satisfaction rate with leisure time was carried out 2 mounts (June - July, 2022). Statistics; in particular, descriptive, and inferential was used to examine the data. After examining the data, average satisfaction rate with leisure time among university students was 3.77 out of five-point scale (p ˂ .05). Out of fivepoint scale, active leisure among the university male (3.19) and female (2.52) students was 2.86 (p ˂ .01). Passive leisure among the university students was 3.46 (p ˃ .05) (.07 difference). Satisfaction rate with leisure time in a sample of Academy of Police Force students was at a sufficient level (Mdn, 4). Active leisure (p ˂ .05) and social leisure (p ˂ .05) contribute to satisfaction rate with leisure time among the university male (43.28 %, n = 190); active leisure (p ˂ .01) and passive leisure (p ˂ .01) among the university female students (56.72 %, n = 249).
No ‘s’ in te reo Māori? Colonisation, orthographic standardisation and a disappearing sibilant
Authors: Moon Paul
Published: January 2023

By the 1840s, a substantial degree of orthographic standardisation of te reo Māori had been achieved, despite the fact that the first efforts to convert the language into a written form had only occurred around seven decades earlier. This trend towards greater standardisation accelerated from the mid-1810s, and was led primarily by missionaries. However, this process was occurring in an environment where there was a substantial degree of dialectical variation among speakers of te reo Māori. The ensuing standardisation of the language in text inevitably resulted in the extent of this variation being reduced dramatically. One of the consequences of this was that some distinctive pronunciation features were lost, including the ‘s’ sound which was evidently in use among some Māori communities in the Northland region of New Zealand at least (and possibly elsewhere in the country, although there is insufficient surviving evidence to verify this.By the beginning of the twentieth century, there were practically no texts being published in te reo Māori which contained the ‘s’ sound. However, some words in te reo Māori continued to be pronounced with an ‘s’ sound until around the middle of the century in a few locations in the country among native speakers of the language. It is probable, although not certain, that the standardisation of the language in print by the middle of the nineteenth century, in which the ‘s’ was removed, contributed to the decline of its use in speech (although obviously there was some lag in the effect of this). The argument could therefore be mounted that the standardised orthography of the language was contributing factor to later standardised pronunciation, although obviously, other variables were also at play. Ironically, the only ‘s’ that appeared in connection with te reo Māori, and which persisted (albeit with diminishing frequency) until the end of the twentieth century, was in the pluralisation of Māori nouns. This trend relied on the English inflection of adding ‘s’ to nouns, including nouns from languages other than English (in this case, te reo Māori).This work commences with a survey of this process of pluralisation, followed by an examination of the early history of the standardisation of the orthography of te reo Māori. The concluding section considers the evidence of the ‘s’ sound traditionally appearing in some words in te reo Māori, and the possible influence that an increasingly standardised written form of the language had on diminishing and eventually eliminating the sound from te reo Māori.
Perception of the Quality of Nursing Work Life
Authors: Tokić Katarina , Režić Slađana
Published: January 2023

Introduction. Quality of work life is a multidimensional construct consisting of several mutually linked factors, such as job satisfaction, commitment to work, motivation, work efficiency, work safety, improvement of abilities and work-life balance. Aim. The aim of this paper was to determine the quality of work life in nurses employed in intensive care and anesthesiology units, as well as to determine whether there is a difference in the quality of work life regarding gender, education, years of service, workplace, and way of working. Methods and respondents. A cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2021. The study was conducted by using a socio-demographic data questionnaire and the Brooks Quality of Nursing Work Life Survey which consists of 42 items divided into 4 subscales. 102 respondents employed in intensive care and anesthesiology units at the UHC Zagreb and UHC Sestre milosrdnice participated in the study. Results. The questionnaire was filled in by 102 respondents, and the overall results show that nurses assess the quality of their work life as being moderate. Looking at every subscale separately, nurses assessed the quality of work life as being moderate in the work life/home life, work design and work world subscales. In the work context subscale, nurses have assessed their quality of work life as being high. No statistically significant difference was found concerning gender, education, years of service, workplace, and way of working.
TINJAUAN HUKUM BAGI PELAKU PERJUDIAN PERSPEKTIF FILSAFAT HUKUM DAN FILSAFAT HUKUM ISLAM (PERBANDINGAN KUHP DAN QONUN NOMOR 6 TAHUN 2014)
Authors: Saputri Vivi Ayu
Published: January 2023

Gambling is something that is considered taboo in various circles and causes polemics and even creates turmoil in this modern society. Both positive law and Islamic law prohibit gambling from being carried out, but there are still many people who justify any means to play gambling. In history, gambling cases are very difficult to eradicate, as if gambling had become commonplace and even become a habit for the community. In the current development of the era, gambling has become a social disease in our society, which naturally should be eradicated from social life. Many efforts have been made to deal with gambling cases such as providing sanctions for gambling actors, for example criminal sanctions and the like, but this has not deterred and gambling is still rampant in this modern society. The formulation of the problem in the discussion this time is how legal proceedings against gambling actors are handled either in accordance with the Criminal Code article 303 concerning gambling or in accordance with Qonon Number 6 of 2014.

Published: January 2023

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui variabilitas Suhu Permukaan Laut (SPL) dan konsentrasi klorofil-a (Chl-a) di perairan Palabuhanratu dan sekitarnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan gabungan data citra satelit NOAA-AVHRR dan MODIS untuk SPL, SeaWiFS dan MODIS untuk Chl-a, data angin permukaan bulanan dari European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Data pendukung berupa indeks El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) dan indeks dipole mode (DMI) bulanan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa SPL di daerah penelitian selama 21 tahun (1997-2018) berada pada kisaran 23,14-33,45°C dimana SPL tertinggi terjadi saat akhir Musim Peralihan-1 (Mei), sementara nilai paling rendah ditemui pada saat awal Musim Peralihan-2 (September). Konsentrasi klorofil-a selama 21 tahun berkisar 0,063-13,363 mg/m3 dimana nilai Chl-a paling tinggi terjadi saat awal Musim Peralihan-2 (September), sementara nilai yang paing redah ditemui pada saat akhir Musim Peralihan-1 (Mei). Saat ENSO dan IOD positif terjadi bersamaan menyebabkan kecepatan angin Tengara meningkat sehinga mengakibatkan peningkatan intensitas upwelling di Perairan Palabuhanratu dan sekitarnya yang mengakibatkan nilai SPL yang lebih rendah dan konsentrasi Chl-a yang lebih tinggi dari biasanya. Variabilitas nilai SPL dan Chl-a dipengaruhi oleh pola angin musiman, intensitas radiasi matahari, fenomena anomali iklim ENSO, dan Indian Ocean Dipole Mode (IODM). Tingginya konsentrasi klorofil-a pada sekitar bulan Agustus-Oktober bersamaan dengan rendahnya SPL pada bulan yang sama diduga akibat terjadinya fenomena upwelling.
Role of biocontrol agents in weed management – recent developments and trends
Authors: Anwar Tauseef , Qureshi Huma
Published: January 2023

Within integrated pest management programs, biological control of unwanted plants has remarkable capacity to provide viable, effective, and economic control of weeds. When using bio-herbicides, crop production and quality improve with virtually no damage to the ecosystem. Bioherbicides are target-specific, destroy only selected weeds that have been sprayed for and do not cause harm to non-target plants. Bio-herbicides can be quickly incorporated into weed control programs, which can reduce chemical herbicide dependence. We are also raising the chance of environmental pollution by pesticides. There are only a few bio-herbicides available on commercial bases although work began earlier in the 1940s. Sources of commercialized bioherbicides include Phytophthora palmivora (Devine), Collectotrichum gleosporiodes (Collego), Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Binomial) and Streptomyces viridochromogenes (Bialaphos and Glufosinate). Virulence for pathogens and their environmental requirement are major constraints for bioherbicide development. Specific bio-herbicides should be useful in finding position in irrigated fields, wildlife while thriving weeds with pests or resistant weed control.

The rise of consumer interest in functional food make it necessary to determine the total phenolic (TP) and antioxidant activity (AOA) of the fig accessions in Türkiye. In this study, 236 fig accessions were analayzed for various metabolites such as phenolic compounds, total phenols (TP), total anthocyanins (TA), total flavonoids (TF), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). The results showed that routine (44.34 ±8.78 mg kg–1 FW) was dominant phenolic compound in the fruits of ‘Bursa Siyahı’ variety, followed by epicatechin (27.76 ±1.12 mg kg–1 FW), syringic acid (4.57 ±2.20 mg kg–1 FW) and chlorogenic acid (4.39 ±0.20 mg kg–1 FW). Among the samples analysed, it was determined that the accession with the highest TPC (189.0 mg GAE 100 g–1 FW) and AOA (688.6 µmol troloks 100 g–1 FW) was ‘Kepek’ (TR 532). Also, it was determined that the accession with the highest anthocyanin content (512.3 mg cyn-3-glu kg–1 FW) was ‘Siyah’ (TR 230). ‘Kepek’ (TR532), ‘Siyah’ (TR 230), ‘Divrekkara’ (TR1101) and ‘Siyah Kış’ (TR1088) are generally not very cultivated accessions. These accessions have an important potential due to the continuous rise of interest in food with high AOA all around the world.
The parasitisation of the rose tortrix [Archips rosana (L.)] Population in the apple orchard in the Wielkopolska region, Poland
Authors: Piekarska-Boniecka Hanna , Siatkowski Idzi
Published: January 2023

The rose tortrix is a polyphagous species, which is dominant in the leafroller complex (Tortricidae) in orchards, including apple orchards and fruit-bearing shrubs in western and southeastern Poland. Rose tortrixes  massively feed on leaf rosettes, developing leaves, buds, flowers and fruit buds in orchards. The population of this phytophage is regulated by environmental factors such as its natural enemies, e.g. parasitoids. The aim of the study was to determine the degree of parasitisation of rose tortrix pupae and to determine the role of individual families of parasitoids in reducing their population. The study showed that parasitoids from the Ichneumonidae, Chalcididae, Tachinidae, Euliphidae and Pteromalidae families reduced the rose tortrix population. The parasitoids of the Ichneumonidae family were the most effective entomophages. The degree of total parasitisation of rose tortrixes in individual years of the research was similar.

The effectiveness of these entomophagous parasitoids is influenced by environmental factors – above all by weather conditions, the number of crop protection treatments and the ecological infrastructure of orchards.
Determination of the effects of PGPR isolates and algae on plant growth in broad bean (Vicia faba L.) grown under water stress conditions
Authors: Çirka Mustafa
Published: January 2023

In regions exposed to drought stress, the use of bacteria applications to promote yield and quality has increased. This study was carried out to determine the effects of rhizobacteria and algae treatments on some biochemical and physiological properties of broad bean (Vicia faba L.) grown under water stress conditions. According to the completely randomized experimental design, the study was carried out in 4 replications in factorial order. In the experiment, the Filiz-99 broad bean variety was used as a plant material. In the study, 4 different biological applications (control, blue-green algae, and 2 different bacteria) and 3 different irrigation levels – 100% (NI), 50% (RI1), and 25% (RI2) – have been applied. In the study, properties such as root and stem length, stem and root fresh weight, stem, and root dry weight, nitrogen balance index, antioxidant, flavonoid, and phenolic properties were examined. Root length changed between 21.37–25.62 cm in bacteria and algae applications, and the highest value was obtained from the B1 application with 25.62 g. At increasing water stress levels, the nitrogen balance index varied in the range of 128.01–77.50%. In bacteria and algae applications, the highest value was obtained from the B1 application. While the phenolic content ranged between 127.53 and 134.31 mg GAE (Gallic Acid Equivalents) g–1 with increasing water stress, the highest value among biological applications was B1 application with 138.06 mg GAE g–1. As a result of the interaction of factors, the highest phenolic values were obtained from B1 × RI2 (149.85 mg GAE g–1), B2 × RI2 (137.05 mg GAE g–1), B0 × NI (127.43 mg GAE g–1), and B0 × RI2 (123.69 mg GAE g–1) applications, while the lowest values were obtained from B2 × NI (123.22 mg GAE g–1), Alg × RI2 (126.65 mg GAE g–1), Alg × NI (127.75 mg GAE g–1), and B1 × NI (131.73 mg GAE g–1) applications. In the study, it was determined that bacterial applications were more effective than algae applications.

Published: January 2023

Today, corresponding to the new wave of internationalisation and integration, education is also subject to rapid and innovative changes. Accordingly, detailed research is undertaken in the present study on innovative teaching strategies that can be developed, under the background of artificial intelligence, to familiarise college students with the ability to fluently express their ideas in English. The research shows that among the factors affecting the quality of English teaching, teachers’ teaching methods, English teaching environment and students’ independent learning ability account for high weightage, which are 54%, 31% and 11%, respectively. Through the model of college students’ English teaching innovation strategy, it can be seen that the teaching method, teaching environment and autonomous learning method are the most feasible methods that can be employed in crafting a students’ English teaching innovation strategy.

Mobile data network is featured by long delay and moving terminals, which affect the user service quality performance of transmission control protocol’s (TCP) congestion control algorithm Vegas. To solve this problem, this paper first proposed to optimise the congestion control algorithm using a genetic algorithm, build ns-3 network topology structure and adopt mobile data network trace for optimisation and simulation; and the Vegas optimisation problem as a multivariate dual-objective problem was solved with Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II). The ns-3 simulation results indicate that Vegas with optimised parameters have high throughput and short delay, which significantly promotes TCP Vegas’s QoS under a mobile scene.

Authors: Perea Casanova Eder de Jesús , Vilchis Carrillo David Eduardo
Published: January 2023

El objetivo de esta investigación es explicar el papel de las organizaciones sociales en la construcción de la capacidad estatal de la segunda mitad del siglo XX mexicano, particularmente en el oriente de la Zona Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México y en Zapotitlán Salinas, Puebla. En estas zonas la capacidad de provisión de bienes y servicios públicos era limitada o nula, y fue la acción de organizaciones como el Movimiento Urbano Popular y la Unión de Zapotitecos radicados en México “Renovación” lo que hizo posible que la capacidad estatal se ampliara hasta esas áreas. En este sentido, las organizaciones no compitieron contra el Estado ni presentaron lógicas de provisión distintas o ajenas a él, ni este, por su parte, compitió, colaboró, erradicó o cooptó a dichas agrupaciones. Para el análisis se realizó, en el primer caso, una revisión documental y, para el segundo, de archivo y entrevistas de los integrantes de la unión.

As a multicultural country, the opportunities for clashes and conflicts in Indonesia are wide open. This is due to the plurality and heterogeneity of Indonesian society which is reflected in the form of cultural diversity, religion, lifestyle in society which is quite complex. In the history of West Kalimantan Province, various horizontal conflicts have alternated, including 1997 and 1999, the Madura conflict with Malay/Dayak etc. The number of fatalities and material losses is incalculable. Singkawang is one of the 12 Level II Regions and 2 Cities in West Kalimantan Province. This city was included as the most tolerant city in Indonesia in two selections by the SETARA Institute. There were hardly any outbreaks of escalating conflict, even though the city is predominantly inhabited by ethnic Malays and Chinese from the Hakka or Khek sub-ethnic. This qualitative research with case study method was conducted with the aim of knowing and describing the potential of the people of Singkawang City from the aspect of harmony. The research was conducted by collecting data through interviews with three resource persons living in Singkawang and Pontianak, namely with researchers from the Institute of Dayakology, Malay ethnic leaders and Dayak ethnic leaders. Another data collection technique was to collect data from research sources, internet journals and from various books. The conclusion of this study is that there are several supporting factors that make the Singkawang people live in harmony. Namely, among others, regional leaders who are considered to represent ethnic groups in Singkawang City. Then the people feel that the city government treats them fairly. This political recognition can be seen from the celebration of religious holidays of each religion which is carried out lively. However, the period leading up to and after the Pilkada is one of the factors to watch out for that can trigger conflict. This is due to the unique composition of the population of Singkawang city, namely the majority are citizens of Chinese descent, while the contestants put forward identity politics.

Communication is growing with the advancement of digitalization. This led to the emergence of behavioral construction in society in response to a phenomen. Various patterns of social communication are deliberately carried out to achieve certain interests, but in fact, social communication does not always run in a positive direction and benefit many parties. In the anti-vaccine community in some areas of Surabaya shows that social communication carried out in a negative direction is in the act of mass vaccine rejection. This is certainly interesting, because social communication that is done with manners, manners, and background emotions and solidarity actually leads to the act of constructing behavior. This study will examine digitalization and communication on the construction of anti-vaccine community behavior in the city of Surabaya. The approach taken is qualitative, while the ethnographic method is chosen to obtain relevant data on a daily phenomenon. The results of this study found that digital media in conducting intensive social communication was able to foster behavioral reconstruction. Sharing behavior that was initially believed to be true was deliberately spread, but with the existence of information in digital media, it is able to destroy the power of subjective reality that is created. Communication in digital media is certainly not the only factor, but with the intensification of social communication, social reconstruction can occur again and again.
The Evolution of Political Party in Indonesia: PSI Towards a Digital Party
Authors: Alvin Silvanus
Published: January 2023

Internet penetration and technological developments have transformed society into a digital community. Political communication cannot run stagnant but continues to advance following developments. In Europe, this digitalization phenomenon gave birth to a new form in the political field, namely the birth of digital parties. The term digital party cannot be applied to political parties that use social media as a means of communication, but rather a party that upholds and applies digital philosophy in its internal and external communication. Paolo Gerbaudo sparked the idea of ​​a Digital Party with five main criteria: cloud-based parties, participationism, hyperleader, superbase and plebiscitarianism 2.0. The main goal of digital parties is to empower people in an idealistic democratic sphere. In Indonesia, Partai Solidaritas Indonesia (PSI) is well-known as a political party filled with youngsters and uses digital apps for political communication. After the 2019 General Election ended and failed to enter the central parliament (DPR RI), PSI presented a digital platform called the Solidarity Application for the public. The Solidarity Apps is expected to bring PSI's elected district legislative members (DPRD) closer to the public. PSI is the first political party to present this digital medium to the public. This qualitative case study research examines three things academically: Firstly, why does PSI use the Solidarity Application as a form of political communication? Secondly, knowing the use of the Solidarity Application. Lastly, understanding PSI's position within the framework of the Digital Party concept of Paulo Gerbaudo. The researcher conducted in-depth interviews with Director of Digital Platform of PSI, Sigit Widodo and a Member of the District Legislative from PSI, Yoel Yosaphat. This paper argues that PSI cannot yet be categorized as a digital party. Nonetheless, PSI is already in the right direction to evolve as a digital party in Indonesia because evolution is a process that takes time. Several obstacles in the pursuit of a digital party are discussed.

The development of technology and the communication industry has caused drastic changes in the media industry, especially print media. A great number of newspapers and magazines stopped printing because it was difficult to compete with online media. Therefore, the term “news desert” appears to refer to a community or area that is not covered by newspapers due to the declining population of local newspapers in various regions. The community or region seems to have disappeared from the public eye. Important issues, problems, and aspirations of residents in the region are no longer heard and their existence seems to be no longer essential. This is certainly troubling, especially regarding the function of the media as the fourth estate in democracy. However, in various regions, online alternative media are now emerging that only focus on local issues, especially issues that are not or rarely touched by mainstream media. This study aims to find out how online alternative media try to overcome the phenomenon of news desert in Indonesia. The research was conducted by case study approach with two sources of information for data collection. The first one is manual observation on two online alternative media Bandung Bergerak and Bale Bengong and the second one is interviews with the Editor-in-Chief of the two media. Based on this research, several results were obtained, 1) alternative media report news about local communities that are rarely presented in the mainstream media and causing news desert, 2) an in-depth data-based journalism approach and citizen journalism in alternative media are capable of uniting local communities and communities, 3) news that does not rely on clickbait or the latest updates in online alternative media can be enjoyed without expiration,  and 4) the proximity of online alternative media to the society is one of the leading strategies for overcoming the news desert.

Indonesia is known to the world for the tourism it offers. Various approaches to tourism are now emerging over time, and one of the focuses of government development is village-based tourism or ecovillage toursim. The development of this tourist village itself cannot run well if there is no cooperation between the local government and the local community. Therefore, there is a need for communication between the two parties who have a similar vision and mission and are able to work together to develop an ecovillage. This is also what the West Java government and the people of Garut city are doing to develop tourist villages in their area. This study aims to determine the pattern of information dissemination carried out by the Garut Regency Tourism and Culture Office (DISPARBUD) in the development of an ecovillage-based tourism. Using a qualitative descriptive case study method and involving three members of DISPARBUD as the participants, the results of this study indicate that DIPSPARBUD has a simple pattern of disseminating information to local communities regarding the development of ecovillage. This pattern goes through three stages namely; (1) Information distribution (determining communicators, compiling messages, scheduling socialization), (2) Performance reporting (analyzing and responding to the effects of communication, (3) Managing stakeholders (evaluation). With this communication pattern, DISPARBUD seeks to optimize the delivery of information regarding development a tourist village that continues to move forward and is expected to produce many other tourist villages in the future

Published: January 2023

Introduction.  Reading comprehension is an essential skill to achieve autonomy and independence within our literate society. Unfortunately, several studies show that students with intellectual disabilities tend to achieve low reading levels. In normotypical students, the influence of reading motivation and metacomprehension habilities on reading comprehension has been extensively studied. In this sense, it is interesting and innovative to explore the influence of these variables on the population of students with IDs.
Method.  The present research had two main objectives: 1) to describe the level of reading motivation and meta-comprehension skills present in students with intellectual disabilities (N=27); and 2) to predict the impact of these variables on their performance in reading. A standardized reading comprehension test (LECTUM), the Motivation for Reading Questionnaire (MRQ), and different instruments to assess aspects of Metacomprehension (metacomprehension inventory, inconsistency detection test and confidence in performance judgments) were applied.
Results.  The analysis of the data through descriptive statistics allowed characterizing the performance of the students in each of the variables considered. In turn, the stepwise linear regression analysis showed that, together, the total number of inconsistencies detected as a measure of metacomprehension monitoring and two dimensions of metacognitive knowledge (knowledge about cognition and regulation after problematic understanding), predict 67% of the variability in participants’ reading comprehension performance.
Discussion and Conclusion.  Implications for special educational practice and reading comprehension theory are discussed.
