Published: November 2021

Introdução: Sabe-se que a inflamação materna sistêmica excessiva está envolvida nas alterações fisiopatológicas da pré-eclâmpsia (PE). Os ácidos graxos poli-insaturados ômega-3 e ômega-6 podem ser convertidos endogenamente em mediadores com atividades pró-inflamatórias (por exemplo, leucotrieno B4 — LTB4) ou anti-inflamatórias/ pró-resolutivas (por exemplo, lipoxina A4 — LXA4 — e resolvina D1 — RvD1). Recentemente, foi relatado um desbalanço nos níveis de LTB4 e LXA4 ao longo da gestação em mulheres que desenvolveram PE. Até o momento, nenhum estudo demonstrou os níveis de RvD1 nesse contexto. Além disso, permanece obscura a produção relativa desses mediadores, bem como o seu papel na resposta inflamatória envolvida na fisiopatologia da PE. Objetivo: Comparar os níveis plasmáticos de LTB4, LXA4 e RvD1, bem como as razões entre os mediadores lipídicos pró-resolutivos (LXA4 e RvD1) e pró-inflamatório (LTB4) em gestantes com fatores de risco estabelecidos para PE que desenvolveram ou não essa condição clínica. Métodos: Os mediadores lipídicos foram dosados no plasma por ensaios imunoenzimáticos em três intervalos gestacionais (12-19, 20-29 e 30-34 semanas) em mulheres que desenvolveram PE (N=11) e que permaneceram normotensas durante a gestação (N=7). Resultados: Houve uma tendência de níveis aumentados de LTB4 ao longo da gestação em mulheres que desenvolveram PE, a qual foi significativa em 30-34 semanas. Os níveis de LXA4 também tenderam a ser maiores nas gestantes que desenvolveram PE, mas não foi detectada diferença significativa entre os grupos de gestantes em nenhum período gestacional avaliado. As grávidas com PE apresentaram níveis menores de RvD1 e menor razão RvD1/LTB4 no período de 30-34 semanas quando comparadas às gestantes normotensas. Por outro lado, os níveis de RvD1 foram maiores no intervalo de 12-19 semanas nas gestantes que desenvolveram PE. Quando ambos os grupos de gestantes foram avaliados em conjunto, observaram-se níveis maiores de LXA4 e RvD1 no período de 30-34 semanas quando comparado ao de 20-29 semanas. Além disso, foi detectada uma interação entre o desfecho gestacional (gravidez com PE ou normotensa) e o período gestacional apenas para a RvD1. Conclusão: O desequilíbrio entre os níveis de LTB4, LXA4 e RvD1 nesse grupo de gestantes que desenvolveram PE é consistente com a inflamação excessiva que está associada à fisiopatologia da doença. Os dados deste estudo destacam o potencial dos mediadores lipídicos avaliados como biomarcadores para o desenvolvimento da PE. No entanto, estudos longitudinais futuros são necessários para confirmar esses achados.

Authors: Florentino Amanda Silva , Santos Matheus Silva Neves dos , Nader Priscilla Rocha Araujo , Loureiro Rubens José
Published: November 2021

Introdução: O exercício físico é uma atividade regular que melhora a saúde e o condicionamento físico e gera aumento na qualidade de vida. Essa prática é importante para gestantes porque elas estão em uma fase de constantes mudanças físicas e anatômicas. Sendo assim, é recomendada de forma moderada quando não há contraindicações, configurando-se como uma modalidade segura para a mãe e o feto e possibilitando uma série de efeitos positivos. Objetivo: Descrever os principais benefícios provenientes da prática de exercícios físicos durante a gestação e seus efeitos no trabalho de parto normal. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa realizada na base de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde durante o mês de abril de 2021. Para a busca, utilizaram-se os descritores: “exercício físico” AND “gravidez” AND “trabalho de parto”. Foram selecionados artigos disponibilizados em texto completo e publicados entre dezembro de 2012 e maio de 2018. A princípio, foram identificados 127 trabalhos, e após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão, restaram 56 artigos, dos quais seis compuseram a amostra final. Resultados e conclusão: Percebe-se que a prática regular de atividades físicas reduz a ocorrência de incontinência urinária, o ganho excessivo de peso materno, a intensidade da lombalgia e os episódios de edema. Outrossim, a adesão ao exercício físico aumenta o índice de líquido amniótico, além de melhorar o crescimento feto-placentário, colaborando para o bem-estar fetal. Na mãe, os efeitos também são positivos no que se refere à diminuição de chances de incidência de diabetes gestacional e hipertensão arterial sistêmica. Além disso, há a redução das chances de parto prematuro e tem-se a possibilidade de fortalecimento da musculatura pélvica e aumento da flexibilidade dos ligamentos do local, que favorecem a dilatação do colo uterino e o menor esforço no momento do parto, assim como a diminuição da dor. Diante dos benefícios procedentes da prática de atividades físicas regulares, mostra-se necessário que os componentes da equipe multidisciplinar promovam ações que incentivem a prática de exercícios de forma moderada durante a gestação, com a finalidade de potencializar a qualidade de vida e o bem-estar. Sendo assim, esses profissionais devem ter uma visão integral das gestantes para promoverem a saúde e prevenirem o surgimento de doenças crônicas como a diabetes gestacional e a hipertensão arterial sistêmica, principalmente nas mulheres portadoras de fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento dessas patologias.

Published: November 2021

Introdução: O sistema de vigilância de síndromes respiratórias agudas do Ministério da Saúde brasileiro registrou, até junho de 2020, que 978 gestantes e puérperas foram diagnosticadas com COVID-19 e, delas, 124 faleceram. Entretanto, são raros na literatura estudos que apresentam dados sobre essa população no Brasil. Objetivo: Apresentar características demográficas e clínicas de mulheres comprovadamente infectadas pelo novo coronavírus (SARS-CoV-2) na gravidez e no puerpério. Metodologia: Estudo transversal realizado na maternidade pública de Parnamirim, Rio Grande do Norte. Por meio dos dados disponíveis no sistema de vigilância epidemiológica e-SUS, identificamos gestantes e puérperas moradoras do município com reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR) reagente para SARS-CoV-2. As variáveis demográficas coletadas do sistema de notificação disponível no hospital foram idade, paridade e idade gestacional. Além disso, foram recuperados como dados clínicos: temperatura, saturação de oxigênio em ar ambiente, sintomas e comorbidades. A análise estatística descritiva foi realizada no programa PSPP. Resultados e conclusão: Foram incluídas 18 gestantes e duas puérperas, todas com infecção confirmada por PCR. A idade média foi de 28,5 anos, 75% estavam no segundo e terceiro trimestres da gravidez, com idade gestacional média de 20 semanas, 80% tiveram ao menos um parto prévio e os sintomas mais comuns foram febre, tosse e dor de garganta, sem comprometimento da saturação de oxigênio e sem comorbidades associadas na maioria. As características descritas no presente estudo foram similares às encontradas em diferentes cidades pelo mundo, o que confirma que essa população apresenta alta probabilidade de evoluir sem complicações, desde que respeite o isolamento social e receba orientações para tratar apenas os sintomas, como é observado nos estudos com mulheres adultas fora da gravidez e puerpério.

Authors: Armayani Ria Taurisia
Published: November 2021

This research aims to study the creativity of Balinese dance which is used as a medium of worshipping God in Hindu practice. This research is designed in an interpretive descriptive type in order to provide an in-depth description of the research focus. There are three findings in this study, namely art as art as an expression of the soul, art as the cultivation of religious values, and art as a means of worshipping God in Hindu life. First, art as an expression of the soul is closely related to the outpouring of feelings through the appearance of works of art that can improve the quality of life. Second, arts as the inculcation of religious values are related to the use of Hindu religious symbols. Third, art as a means of worship is indicated by artistic creativity that is actualized by dance artists as an appreciation of Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa (God Almighty) with his various prabhavas (manifestation of God) in the implementation of Hindu religious rituals. The movements displayed are representations of the mudra sulinggih (gestures of the priest's while performing worship) which are also rhythmic movements that have an association with cosmic dances.

Well-Designed Studies are Needed to Assess Adverse Effects on Healthy Lung Function after Long-Term Face Masks Usage
Authors: Srinivasa-Rao Arni S. R. , Krantz Steven G.
Published: November 2021

Face coverings, especially cloth masks, were the critical personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic. The advantages of such masks were well understood and widely used across the world. With this idea in mind, we have reviewed the available data and literature to identify whether masks exert an untoward effect on lung function in otherwise healthy persons. Interestingly enough, we have found no well-designed studies to assess whether masks have an unintended negative consequence on healthy lung function. Moreover, we are also aware that there could exist a differential impact of facial coverings depending on the type of masks exposed to. In addition, there could also be some ethical challenges in order to implement these cohort studies. We are recommending the need for thorough evaluations of long term mask utilization.

Authors: Tamta B. , Kumar Vishavjit , Ahamed Nafeesh
Published: November 2021

Among the 40 medicinal plant species of alpine zone for which Kandara MPCA has been declared for in-situ conservation only three globally significant medicinal plants viz. Aconitum heterophyllum (Endangered as per IUCN Red List), Picrorhiza kurrooa (Endangered) and Nardostachys jatamansi (Critically Endangered as per IUCN Red List) have been selected for in-situ conservation. The enrichment was standardized through planting seedlings, rhizomes and seeds from the natural populations in the MPCA at lower, middle and upper 1/3rd portions of the hill slopes in compartment 3b of Kandara MPCA. The upper 1/3rd portion of the hill slopes showed highest survival (52% seedlings and 42% from seeds) for Aconitum heterophyllum and 60% for seedlings, 42 % for rhizomes/stolons and 33 % for seeds of Picrorhiza kurrooa respectively in comparison to middle and lower 1/3rd portion of the hill slope. Seedlings performed better as compared to rhizomes and seeds in terms of survival percent. Therefore, enrichment planting through nursery raised seedlings can be an effective method for in-situ conservation of these medicinal plant species in their natural habitat.

Authors: Mondal Soma , Sundararaj R. , Reddy M. , Rishi R.
Published: November 2021

During the investigation on diseases of important tree species we came across the disease caused by phytoplasma with symptoms of typical witches’ broom phenotype in economically important bamboo species in south India. Severe incidence of this disease to the extent of 15% was observed in economically important bamboos like Bambusa bambos (L.) Voss at Marayoor (Kerala) and in Dendrocalamus strictus (Roxb.) Nees, D. stocksii (Munro.) and D. asper (Schult.) Backer in Nallal (Karnataka). The diseased culms showed bending due to weight and in many cases it showed burnt appearance and different states of dyeing. Further it attracts the infestations of termites and the extent of drying may stimulate catching of fire. As this disease was found spreading on economically important bamboos of south India, early diagnostic accreditation of the disease along with management of insect vectors will help to reduce their exposure to witches’ broom disease.

Authors: Dey Bhaskar , Verma Ashok , Tewari Salil , Dubey Ashutosh
Published: November 2021

Classical taxonomic studies of the bamboos are based on floral morphology and growth habit, which can cause problems in identification due to erratic flowering. Identification and genetic relationships in 18 species of bamboo were investigated using SDS-PAGE and RAPD analysis. Protein profiles of 18 bamboo species revealed clear polymorphism which can be used to identify species. Dendrogram based on SDS-PAGE data separated 18 species into two major clusters with Bambusa nutans & B. polymorpha, Gigantochloa andamanica & Dendrocalamus longispathus, G. andamanica & D. gigangteus showed maximum similarity of 71.4% in each case while genotype B. tulda and B. nutans (10.4%) showed lowest similarity. On the other hand, RAPD analysis proved to be a better tool with 14.67 as an average number of bands per polymorphic primers. Dendrogram based on RAPD separated 18 species into 2 major clusters with D. membranaceous and B.multiplex showed maximum similarity of 83% while genotype D. asper and B. balcooa showed least similarity (10.6%).

CARACTERÍSTICAS ACÚSTICAS E ARTICULATÓRIAS NA PRODUÇÃO DE FRICATIVAS: PISTAS PARA DIAGNÓSTICO DE APRAXIA E ATUAÇÃO FONOAUDIOLÓGICA EM PESSOA COM SÍNDROME DE DOWN
Authors: Gruba Carolina Lacorte
Published: November 2021

Neste estudo, analisamos acusticamente as fricativas [f], [v], [s], [z], [S] e [Z] do Português Brasileiro produzidas por uma pessoa com síndrome de Down (SD). O objetivo foi verificar como as características do trato vocal desse sujeito, como hipotonia dos lábios, língua e bochechas, poderiam interferir nas características acústicas dos segmentos fricativos por ele produzidos. Nossa hipótese é de que as alterações do trato vocal podem impactar sobremaneira na produção da fala e consequentemente dos segmentos fricativos, interferindo assim nos achados acústicos destes segmentos. Para esta pesquisa, analisamos a produção das fricativas de um sujeito com síndrome de Down, denominado SM, natural de Brumado (Bahia), de 15 anos, do sexo masculino. SM é analfabeto e nunca foi submetido a terapia fonoaudiológica. Para a coleta de dados, foram selecionadas figuras que representassem palavras reais, contendo as fricativas a serem analisadas. As palavras do corpus continham as fricativas labiodentais, alveolares e palatoalveolares (surdas e sonoras), em posição de onset silábico, inicial e medial, em diversos contextos vocálicos. A posição de coda silábica também foi analisada, mas esta foi ocupada apenas pela fricativa alveolar surda. Foram analisados os órgãos fonoarticulatórios primeiramente. Para a análise acústica foram mensuradas a duração relativa e os 04 (quatro) momentos espectrais dos segmentos fricativos, por meio do PRAAT (BOERSMA; WEENINCK, 2006). Os resultados nos permitem confirmar a hipótese desta pesquisa de que as alterações nos órgãos fonoarticulatórios apresentadas pelo sujeito avaliado interferem nos achados acústicos das fricativas por ele produzidas. Os resultados demonstram dificuldade na produção das fricativas, especialmente quando em posição medial, dificuldade na produção dos segmentos fricativos sonoros e produção anteriorizada das fricativas palatoalveolares. Além dos aspectos motores, os resultados demonstraram que SM apresenta uma dificuldade no planejamento e programação motora oral, inconsistência nos movimentos articulatórios e imprecisão na articulação dos sons, o que aponta para um possível quadro de apraxia de fala.
Explorări urbane – Calea Moșilor, București
Authors: Mitrache Anca
Published: November 2021

The abandonment of urban built heritage has recently become an acute phenomenon that parasites important historical areas within European cities and Bucharest is no exception. Against the backdrop of political reformations and nuances, the gradual reduction of economic activity, the closure of many local services or commercial units, and the disappearance of former landmarks in the centre of the historic city, led to a visible economic and social vacuum, a generator of stagnation and ruin. At the same time, more seriously, a certain identity of the place was lost all along with the disappearance of some aspects of daily use, urban elements generating social interaction and communication, testimonies of a way of life that generated them. In time, the gradual loss of landmarks and meaningful spaces accentuates the dysfunctionality and the phenomena linked to a precarious economic background. The reactivation of such zones and finding appropriate viable – functional solutions of urban planning – reconnecting the local community with a highly valuable construction fund is, perhaps, one of the most important challenges of our times.

Published: November 2021

Tujuan dari artikel ini adalah untuk mengetahui Propaganda Gerakan Papua Merdeka yang dilaksanakan oleh Organisasi Papua Merdeka (OPM) melalui media cetak dan online menjadikan pesan-pesan OPM menyebar dengan cepat dan luas ke tengah-tengah masyarakat global, sehingga OPM cenderung mendapat perhatian dan dukungan dari dunia Internasional. Setelah terjadinya penyerangan kepada warga sipil oleh salah satu faksi OPM di Kabupaten Nduga, Papua, berbagai media, salah satunya portal utama media online OPM, freewestpapua.org, memberitakan kasus tersebut sesuai dengan perspektif masing-masing. Oleh karena gerakan OPM bertentangan dengan prinsip Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia, itu menjadi penting untuk kita mengetahui bagaimana OPM mencitrakan Pemerintah Indonesia dalam berita mengenai kasus tersebut. Setelah dilakukan analisis wacana kritis model Van Dijk terhadap teks berita yang dipilih secara purposif dari situs web freewestpapua.org, disimpulkan bahwa baik dalam struktur teks Makro, Superstruktur, maupun Mikro, meskipun pelaku penyerangan warga sipil adalah OPM sendiri, dan korbannya bukan orang Papua,  situs propaganda online OPM, tetap mencitrakan Indonesia sebagai penjajah yang sadis, brutal, licik, dan biadab. Metode penelitian yang digunakan penulis adalah metode penelitian kualitatif yang dilandaskan oleh Teori dan penjelasan. Guna dari dipilihnya metode ini adalah untuk menilai terhadap bagaimana kondisi obyek yang alami.
INFLUENCE OF THE DYNAMICS OF FORCED MOTION
ON THE STATIC FRICTION IN METAL-POLYMER SLIDING PAIRS
Authors: Opałka Mariusz , Wieleba Wojciech , Radzińska Angelika
Published: November 2021

The resistance during the frictional interaction of polymeric materials with metallic materials is characterized
by a significant dependence on the dynamics of the motion inputs. In a metal-polymer friction pair, the static
friction resistance during standstill under load depends on the rate of growth of the force causing the relative
motion. Tribological tests of selected (polymer-metal) sliding pairs were carried out. The selected polymers
were polyurethane (TPU), polysulfone (PSU), and silicone rubber (SI). They interacted with a pin made of
normalized C45 steel under unitary pressure p = 0.5 MPa in dry friction conditions at different gradients
of the force driving the relative motion (dF/dt = 0.1-20 [N/s]). The static friction coefficient of the selected
sliding pairs was determined on the basis of the recorded static friction force values. The test results show
a significant influence of the rate of increase in the motion driving force on the values of static friction
resistance. This is mainly due to the viscoelastic properties of polymers.

This research was focused on the development of an optical detection instrument for blood leak detection in the dialysate line of the dialysis machine. The specially developed instrument consists of LEDs, photodetectors, signal conditioning system, and digital signal processing system. An important design criteria for the detector is that it must be sensitive to the blood concentration. The optical detector used in this experiment matches the spectral properties of blood, in order to achieve a maximum sensitivity while minimizing false alarms. An algorithm was developed to detect the amount of blood concentration of the sample from a set of optical transmission parameters recorded from the sample. The results shows that the detection limit of the sensor is 0.2 ml/cm3
Crisis of the Secularism Paradigm
Authors: Gomboş Stelian ,   Institute for Interdisciplinary Research
Published: November 2021

This essay seeks to understand the relationship between modernity, secularization, and religion. By engaging such thinkers as José Casanova, Peter Berger, Charles Taylor, and Jürgen Habermas, the essay proposes that the post-Enlightenment project of secularization which would replace religion by science and secular rationality has proven elusive. Instead, there has been a resurgence of religion in different parts of the world, in particular Islam. Secularization itself is a complex phenomenon that cannot be reduced to the absence of religion. Peter Berger summed up the persistence of religion across time and space, and in different cultures, as “desecularization.” The outstanding question concerns the proper role for religion, and whether it may return to the public square as complementary rather than antithetical to Enlightenment values in science, culture, and democratic, pluralistic polities?

There are many different multi-criteria decision making methods in the literature. These methods, which enable criteria with different measurement units to be examined together, allow choosing between alternatives. However, different methods can produce different results depending on the data set. The aim of this study is to combine the results obtained by applying different methods to the data set with the Copeland method. To this end, a problem with real data was first addressed. Technical data of motorcycle alternatives that can be preferred for individual needs were collected in terms of different criteria. The weights of these criteria were found by the PIPRECIA method. Six different multi-criteria decision making methods were used to evaluate motorcycle alternatives. These methods are MOPA, MOOSRA, COPRAS, SAW, WPM and ROV. The sequencing results obtained from these methods were combined with the Copeland method and the results were discussed.

The article presents the application of the PIvot Pairwise RElative Criteria Importance Assessment (PIRECIA) method for ranking alternatives. The PIPRECIA method is primarily intended for determining the significance (weight) of criteria, but it can also be used for completely solving decision-making problems. So far, this method has not been used for completely solving multiple criteria decision-making problems, which is why this article presents the application of the PIPRECIA method for the evaluation and ranking alternatives. The process of evaluating alternatives using the PIPRECIA method is shown on an example of evaluating the websites of some hotels located in Southern and Eastern Serbia.
Exercise for the treatment of schizophrenia: a current review and recommendations
Authors: Roeh A , Hasan A
Published: November 2021

Schizophrenia ranges among the most debilitating psychiatric diseases. Physical activity is recommended as an add-on therapy to improve acute symptoms (especially negative symptoms and cognitive deficits) and to prevent the onset of the disease. But individuals with schizophrenia usually engage in less physical activity than the general population. This sedentary lifestyle is one of the reasons that lead to more somatic comorbidities and increased mortality in this cohort. In this narrative review we provide an overview of evidence for the beneficial effects of physical exercise on the central nervous system and symptom severity in individuals with schizophrenia. We discuss the findings in the context of their implementation in current treatment guidelines: The guidelines only provide general advice and no concrete statements regarding type, duration and intensity of exercise therapies, as the existing studies varied in their methodology. Future studies should therefore explore the possibility to transfer existing detailed recommendations for the general population on patients with schizophrenia to reduce sedentary behavior.

The role of exercise for prevention and treatment of depression and cognitive decline in the elderly
Authors: Hemmeter U , Ngamsri T , Henkel K
Published: November 2021

Depression and dementia disorders are associated with cardiovascular and somatic co-morbidities, which are closely related to physical inactivity. Physical exercise can improve these cardiovascular and metabolic co-morbidities. In addition, physical activity and training are effective in the prevention and treatment of affective and cognitive disorders. These effects were also found in the elderly. Because of limited effectiveness and tolerance of pharmacological standard treatment options, the relevance of physical exercise as a therapeutic tool should be recognized. In a multifactorial way psychological, neurobiological as general somatic (e.g. cardiovascular and metabolic) aspects are involved in the effectiveness of exercise on brain structure and function. Hence assessment of exercise habits and individual recommendations for physical activity should be implemented as a standard procedure in the therapy of affective disorders and dementia, beginning as early as possible but also at higher ages.

Tourists’ characteristics in relation to expectations, satisfaction and loyalty in hotel industry
Authors: Santos Roldán Luna , Palacios Florencio Beatriz , Bolcha Peter
Published: November 2021

Objective: This paper makes an effort in combining the hotel subsector with a specific geographic location and with three determined constructs.

Methods: This article uses a unique individual level dataset collected in Spain hotels and attempts to shed more light on three phases of consumer evaluation: expectations, satisfaction and loyalty. In order to relate the evaluation scores in these areas to sociodemographic characteristics of the consumers, we employ regression analysis.

Results: The results show that all dependent variables in hand are related to explanatory variables; often in directions assumed by theory or previous empirical studies. Specifically, we find that age, economic status and country of origin are statistically significantly related to consumer evaluation. One of the novelties of our study is inclusion of “exceeded expectations” variable that intends to measure positive or negative surprise with the service.

Conclusion: The knowledge of the existence of incidences of demographic variables on satisfaction, loyalty and expectations could not only, but should, lead to the formulation and implementation of differentiated strategies, segmented according to groups of individuals, focused on improving these indicators, adapting services to the demographic characteristics of the clients.
Development and Demonstrational Instantiation of a Method for the Structured Content Analysis of Smartphone Apps
Authors: Weiss Tobias , Strahringer Susanne
Published: November 2021

The publication discusses the adaptation of dedicated known methods for structured content analysis for the usage of smartphone apps, taking into account the specifics of these dynamic media types and resulting consequences for the procedure and content rating. The background is the increasing popularity of apps and the growing demand for precise analysis of the status quo regarding the content and functions of apps on the market, especially within design-oriented business informatics. Within the literature, no uniform, comparable and systematic approach to this could be identified so far. Therefore, an existing standard for the evaluation of apps from the medical context has been adapted for general application to apps. This provides a helpful procedure for researchers, practitioners, and students and ensures consistency across studies. The feasibility of the proposed method and assessment standard were confirmed by a successful demonstrational instantiation based on an app review of energy information systems for private customers.
Applicability of Blockchain Technology in Securities Settlement
Authors: Bauvars Jānis
Published: November 2021

Technological advancements are often adopted to financial markets to improve their operations and safety. Blockchain technology has been recognized as one of the potential technologies to be utilized in capital markets. The goal of this article is to evaluate the applicability of using the blockchain technology in securities settlement process. First, the theoretical background of blockchain technology is reviewed and the current financial market infrastructure is examined. Then Central Securities Depositories Regulation and the current securities settlement processes are examined. Blockchain applicability framework designed by Gourisetti, Mylrea and Patangia is applied to assess the blockchain technology’s applicability to securities settlement. The results suggest that blockchain technology can be applied to securities settlement, and the used blockchain type should be a private blockchain with Proof-of-Authority consensus mechanism. A blockchain architecture model, based on a model provided by Zhuang, Chen, Shae and Shyu, and potential node structure for securities settlement are developed, taking into account the existing literature on blockchain technology, financial markets, and Central Securities Depositories Regulation. The proposed blockchain architecture model and node structure are then evaluated against scholar expected benefits and drawbacks of using blockchain for securities settlement and cross-border settlement efficiency. The evaluation reveals that the proposed blockchain technology model can potentially improve some of the current securities settlement issues, such as costly reconciliation and difficult cross-border securities settlement. At the same time, using blockchain technology in securities settlement would be challenging because the practical implementation time would be long and would require market-wide commitment. The main artefacts of this article are the proposed blockchain architecture model and node structure that would allow securities settlement processes to be executed using blockchain technology.

Published: November 2021

Islam di Indonesia tidak hanya menjadi dasar aktivitas ritual agama, tetapi mulai menjadi dasar untuk mengatur kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara. Studi ini berusaha menunjukkan peran dari totalisme Islam sebagai mediator dari hubungan antara Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) dan Right Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) terhadap sikap politik konservatif Muslim. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan cross-sectional melalui survei non-eksperimental terhadap 528 mahasiswa Muslim di Jabodetabek (Mean Usia= 21,4 tahun, SD = 3,36). Kami menggunakan 4 alat ukur self-reported dengan skala likert 1-7. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah melalui regresi model mediasi PROCESS Macro. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa SDO dan RWA tidak dapat memprediksi sikap politik konservatif Muslim secara langsung (direct effect). Kami menemukan totalisme Islam secara signifikan memediasi secara penuh (fully mediation) hubungan antara SDO dan RWA terhadap sikap politik. Hasil ini menggambarkan bahwa pada mahasiswa Muslim Indonesia, sikap politik mereka cenderung dipengaruhi oleh faktor terkait agama. Dengan kata lain, agama tidak dapat dipisahkan dari ideologi politik konservatif Muslim Indonesia.
