Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui perhitungan harga pokok produksi dan proses penetapan harga jual produk pada koperasi Baitul Islamic Global (BIG). Perhitungan harga pokok produski degan menggunakan metode full costing dan penetapan harga jual dengan menggunakan cost pluspricing. Berdasarkan karateristik masalah yang diangkat oleh peneliti, maka penelitian ini diklasifikasikan sebagai penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu data primer yang diperoleh langsung dari pihak koperasi seperti data hasil wawancara dengan pihak perusahaan serta data berupa informasi biaya- biaya produksi perusahaan selama bulan Oktober 2020. Sedangkan untuk data sekunder diperoleh dari buku, internet atau media lain yang mendukung penelitian ini. Dari hasil analisis data,hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perhitungan harga pokok produksi perusahaan lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan perhitungan harga pokok produksi dengan menggunakan metode fullcosting. Harga jual yang dihitung menggunakan metode perusahaan yaitu sebesar Rp 5.000 dan menurut metode full costing yaitu sebesar Rp 5.471. Hal ini disebabkan karena dalam perhitungan biaya overhead pabrik perusahaan tidak memperhitungkan beberapa biaya kedalam harga pokok produksinya seperti biaya pemeliharaan dan perawatan  alat produksi, dan biaya depresiasi pada produk masker kain.Selainitu, penetapan harga jual perusahaan hanya mengekspetasi labasebesar10%,. Jadi, penetapan harga jual harus dilakukan secara tepat karena harga jual yang terlalu tinggi akan menjadikan produk kurang bersaing, sedangkan harga jual yang terlalu rendah akan menyebabkan kerugian bagiperusahaan.

Energy prices as significant supply-side shocks: The case of the former SFRY and Višegrad Group member countries
Authors: Praščević Aleksandra , Ješić Milutin
Published: August 2022

The influence of energy prices on macroeconomic stability is analyzed in this paper. Energy prices represent significant supply-side shocks, which have been leading cyclical fluctuation triggers through economic history. The analysis includes the countries that were the members of the former SFRY, as well as the countries the members of the Višegrad Group. The indicators under observation are presented for the EU27 for the purposes of comparison. In accordance with economic theory, the main conclusion of the paper is that supply-side shocks can be a significant source of cyclical fluctuations and an inflation trigger. Therefore, policymakers have a complex task to minimize the effects of these shocks. Nowadays, when energy prices are reaching historically high levels, the scientific contribution of supply-side shocks can be found in the deep analysis and well-grounded estimations of the role of those shocks in the preservation of macroeconomic stability and the economic policy measures necessary for the minimization of their negative effects.
Thermal stability of lubricants in cycloidal reducers
Authors: Vasić Milan , Blagojević Mirko , Dragoi Mircea
Published: August 2022

There is intensive rolling and sliding between the meshing elements of a cycloidal reducer, whereby a significant amount of mechanical energy is converted into heat and absorbed by the lubricant. In order to stabilize the temperature of the lubricant, it is necessary to achieve thermal equilibrium, i.e. the amount of heat dissipated should equal the amount of heat generated. A complex task of determining the equilibrium temperature of a lubricant generally involves theoretical analysis, numerical calculation, computational simulations and experimental testing. The aim of this paper is to develop a model to predict the amount of heat dissipated from the outer surface of the housing as well as the equilibrium temperature of the lubricant. The model is based on the basic laws of thermodynamics, while the computational simulation is performed for an actual cycloidal reducer in the Matlab software package. The simulation results show changes in the equilibrium temperature in relation to: the coefficient of heat transfer from the lubricant to the inner wall of the housing, ambient air velocity, wall thickness and housing material.

Published: August 2022

Electric energy consumed by the public lighting represents a significant item in the city public sector energy consumption structure, which includes public buildings, public transportation and public lighting. Public lighting system is one of the most important public utility activities which is under control of local governments, which pay the costs of electricity, as well as maintenance costs. Public lighting affects the quality of life of citizens in cities through, among other things, reduction of traffic accidents by up to 35%, personal safety and reduction of social approaches. Cities and municipalities in Serbia are predominately using sodium and mercury bulbs for public lighting, but have been gradually replacing them with LED bulbs in the recent years. LED technology is a satisfactory, cost-effective solution due to low energy consumption, long service life, reduced investment and maintenance costs. Thus, there is not only a reduction in energy consumption of up to 70%, but also a large reduction in CO2 emissions. The modernization of the public lighting system is, in addition to being a useful means of achieving significant energy savings, also a means of improving the quality of lighting itself. The paper shows how much it is possible to reduce electricity consumption, and thus CO2 emissions, by replacing existing lighting with LED lighting. There are 2530 light bulbs in the public lighting system of the municipality of Priboj. Until recently, mercury high pressure bulbs dominated - there were 1241 of them, compared to 743 sodium ones and 546 LED lamps. After the reconstruction of public lighting, all light bulbs are LED. The paper compares the consumption of electricity for the four months of 2019 and the same four months of 2020. It is shown that electricity consumption for these four months was reduced by an average of 55%, the average reduction in CO2 emissions was 55%, while the reduction in electricity costs was an average of 58%.

Published: August 2022

The subject of analysis in this paper are laminated composites as an always popular topic in the field of composite materials. The introductory part of the paper presents a brief overview of the current state of research in this area and points out further directions of research related to this very interesting topic. The classification of laminated composite plates from the aspect of different criteria are described in detail. As the subject of the paper is stress-strain analysis of laminated composite, the expression for the generalized Hooke's law of orthotropic class of material symmetry is given. The terms of the constitutive matrix are expressed through engineering constants. At the end, the bending analysis of the rigidly supported laminated plate under a sinusoidal load was performed. The mentioned analysis was conducted using software based on the finite element method. A comparative analysis of the plate with the different ply orientation (0°/90°/90°/0° and -45°/45°/45°/-45°) was done. The obtained results were analyzed and appropriate conclusions were made.
Competition law and policy for the Internet of Things
Authors: Nikolić Igor
Published: August 2022

The Internet of Things (IoT) brings mobile internet connectivity to many different sectors of the economy. 5G standard is expected to play a key role in fostering seamless connectivity between devices. However, it also requires licensing patents essential for 5G standards to a diverse group of companies. How to effectively license essential patents in IoT has been the central question in recent policy debates before the European Commission. Competition law has often been invoked as a solution to either directly regulate certain licensing practices or to take a step back and enable the industry to collectively agree on certain licensing solutions. The article analyses three situations where the role of competition law was discussed: i) refusal to license patents to different levels of the production chain; ii) collective price-setting of a standard and iii) collective licensing of patents. The article examines each situation and discusses the appropriate role of competition law in fostering efficient licensing of essential patents in the IoT.
Necessity changes the law: A case of incomplete implementation of canon law regarding autocastration
Authors: Janković Ivan
Published: August 2022

Canon law - in this case: the Rules (CANONES) of the Orthodox church - mandates that a priest who castrates himself must be defrocked (deprived of ecclesiastical status). This provision appears in the oldest source of canon law, the Apostolic canons (4th century CE), to be repeated in the first canon of the First Council of Nicaea as well as in numerous subsequent codices. In the only instance of autocastration by a priest in the modern era in Serbia (in 1861) that we know of, the provision was not fully implemented. Instead, the autocastrated priest was barred from performing religious services and from wearing epitrachelion (stole, worn around neck when performing rites, without which rites have no effect whatsoever). In time, this interdiction was gradually reduced, until it applied only to leading the liturgy (but not to assisting in it). After that, he was allowed to wear the stole and perform all other religious services, such as prayers, weddings, christenings and funerals. The priest in question was also a monk (hieromonk), but his monastic status, rights and obligations were unaffected by his act of autocastration. Moreover, at one point (in 1868) he was appointed the head of his monastery, to act in the Metropolitan's name. The monastery (Jošanica) was undergoing a deep crisis throughout 1860's: its property was in ruins, while individual monks were prosecuted for various crimes, ranging from homosexuality to attempted murder. At various times, the monastery was unable to service its parish because it lacked priests (hieromonks). It was precisely this shortage of priests that persuaded the church authorities (i.e. the Metropolitan as the head of the then Serbian Orthodox Church) not to defrock the autocastrated priest, notwithstanding the canons. As the Metropolitan himself explained, this was done "out of necessity", in keeping with the Serbian proverb "necessity changes the law".

Authors: Nart Baytugan , Aziz Celik , Tahir Bezgin
Published: August 2022

Background: Enlargement of the pulmonary artery (PA) could be helpful in risk stratification by the chest CT on the admission of COVID-19 patients. Methods: This study aimed to associate PA diameter and overall mortality in COVID-19 pneumonia. We designed a retrospective study between January 2021 and May 2021 in tertiary-level hospitals in Gebze, Turkey. Subjects were evaluated in two groups according to their survivor status (survivors and non-survivors). Then biochemical, demographic, and clinical values were compared via the groups to define the predictive value of PA diameter on chest CT images. Results: In the enrolled 594 COVID-19 in-hospital patients (median age was 45 (34-58) years, 263patients (44.3%) were female. 44 patients (7.4%) died during hospitalization. Multivariate Cox-proportion regression model yielded main PA ≥ 29 mm on admission showed that as independent predictors of death (long rank <0.001, median survival time 28 days). Cumulative survival rates were MPAD ≥ 29 mm 45% and < 29 mm 90% yielded (p < 0.001). Conclusions: PA dilatation is strongly linked with in-hospital mortality in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection. Thus increased PA diameter on chest CT at admission may guide rapid and early diagnosis of high-risk patients.

Authors: Petković Nemanja , Egić Jelena , Prosen Mirko , Ličen Sabina
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Reflection is a lifelong learning process that represents thinking about one's own experiences. It gives professionals the opportunity to examine their actions in practice and by changing them create conditions for personal and continuous professional development. Many studies report that nurses guided by reflective competencies and reflection are more likely to use a strategic approach to problem solving, achieve a holistic approach to health care, and accept continuing education as an integral part of their profession. Purpose: The objectives of this study were to determine how many nursing students have reflective competencies during clinical training and whether there is an impact of employment factors and years of study on reflection on clinical practice. Methods: A descriptive and exploratory non-experimental empirical research method was used for the study. For the study, we used a questionnaire with 36 statements. Second-, third-, and fourth-grade students and nursing students participated in the study (n = 86). For data analysis, we used descriptive statistics and the nonparametric chi-square test and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Values of significance level p < 0.05 were considered significant. Results: The results of the research showed that all respondents highly assessed their ability to reflect in relation to the experience of their work on clinical practice. Conclusion: The results of the study prove that students have reflectivity in relation to clinical practice. The topic also needs to be extended to all links of the curriculum in graduate, professional, and nurse practitioner education to provide a more valid insight into reflection on clinical practice.

Published: August 2022

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease of unknown etiology which is characterized by the formation of granulomatous inflammation in various organs and tissues, most commonly in the lungs and lymph nodes. Glucocorticoids are the therapy of choice for the initial treatment of symptomatic disease, but their prolonged use is associated with significant toxicity. Alternative therapies that reduce glucocorticoid use are also available. Fatigue and depression are often present in patients with sarcoidosis. Their occurrence in practice is mostly underestimated, although it is related to a lower quality of life. As fatigue and depression cannot be assessed using objective measures, the use of validated questionnaires is recommended. They enable the detection and monitoring of fatigue and depression related to the underlying disease and may indicate the need for appropriate therapy.
Nursing interventions in complications of arteriovenous fistula
Authors: Novković Mira , Petrović Lada
Published: August 2022

Chronic kidney disease is a public health problem, not only because of its mass, but also because of its chronic and progressive course, which results in significant comorbidity and mortality. Patients need to be prepared in time for active treatment with one of the methods for replacing renal function. Hemodialysis is not possible without an adequate vascular approach, and the ideal vascular approach should enable repeated and long-term access to the circulation, high blood flow and a minimal number of complications. The most common reason for hospitalization of patients who are on a chronic hemodialysis program are complications related to the vascular approach, which leads to high treatment costs. Due to the least number of complications, arteriovenous fistula is usually the first choice compared to other vascular approaches for hemodialysis. The most common complications of arteriovenous fistula are thrombosis, stenosis and infection. The nurse should recognize the signs and symptoms of complications and participate in their care. The patient plays an essential role in the early recognition of complications, so educating the patient is vital in reacting in time and reducing the number of complications.
Sustainability in fashion: Past creativity as an inspiration for the future
Authors: Jocić Sonja
Published: August 2022

Even before the emergence of the fashion sustainability movement, some European and Japanese fashion designers were active in inventing new creative principles. Key examples of such designers are: Martin Margiela, Rei Kawakubo, Yohji Yamamoto and Issey Miyake. They have created a completely new, different and personal style in fashion, as a consequence of exceptional aesthetic creativity. With their ingenious creativity and by pushing the boundaries in fashion design and artistic creation, they managed to create a basis for the development of modern sustainable fashion. Among the creative-experimental solutions available to a fashion designer as a strategy for sustainable fashion design, the creation of clothes without fabric waste ("zero-waste") stands out. The inspiration for such a creative-experimental design solution can be found in methods and techniques of traditional Japanese paper folding skills - origami, as well as in traditional Japanese costume - kimono. The introduction of this concept into fashion provides an opportunity not only to reshape the relation between body and clothing, but also has the potential to create clothing design based on sustainability and a new universality in the twenty-first century. Nevertheless, following the approach of famous designers, it can be seen that for success in sustainable fashion design is necessary to master the fundamentals of traditional and sometimes forgotten craftmanship, which could surely lead to further progress by upgrading one's own ideas.

Published: August 2022

Sergei Dragilev recognized the vitality of modern art that brought freshness to the culture, so all innovative artists of the time were invited to join his campaign and goal. And he reflected on the fact that ballet breaks the shackles of the traditional concept in the performance of dance, music, costume design, and scenography and imposes an element of challenge by introducing current contemporary tendencies in art and culture. All the famous names of the art of that time brought the latest achievements of modern art into the world of dance: Pablo Picasso, Natalia Goncharova, Henri Matisse, and Giorgio de Chirico. And with them, the design of scenography and costume design took the form of cubism, fauvism, futurism, surrealism, and other avant-garde movements, while refreshing the themes, which overall influenced ballet to become part of popular culture.
Un peculiar ejemplo de arte indígena novohispano: la adarga realizada por los amantecas para su rey Felipe II
Authors: Pérez Lugones Lisardo
Published: August 2022

La Real Armería del Palacio Real de Madrid conserva una excepcional adarga de parada, realizada por indígenas amantecas novohispanos en arte plumario como regalo a Felipe II. El objetivo de este trabajo es hacer un estudio de los elementos iconográficos representados en este escudo del último cuarto del siglo XVI, intentando aportar mayores detalles sobre su significación y su autoría no solo material, sino también intelectual. Para ello compararemos detalladamente las composiciones con otras representaciones provenientes de las tradiciones medievales, renacentistas o indígenas mesoamericanas. Esto nos permitirá realizar una mayor aproximación a la temática subyacente y su adaptabilidad plástica desde el mundo novohispano. Se constatará la capacidad de acceder a textos de la tradición grecolatina o medieval, así como a códices u obras renacentistas, muy coetáneas a la producción de esta adarga. Se tratará también la cuestión del contrario enemigo, que tras la cristianización pasa a identificarse con el musulmán, al que enfrentarse en combate. Dicha temática, que abarca toda la composición, se conjuga con la defensa de la fe y la lucha contra la herejía. Todo ello estará enmarcado en la política de tolerancia en la Europa de la Contrarreforma. También nos dará las claves para entender ciertas transformaciones locales que se estaban dando en el sistema escriturario náhuatl.

Kampung Bahari Nusantara is a village that can serve as a form of unity between the Indonesian Army and the coastal communities to support the Indonesian Navy's task of developing maritime potential. Maritime potential development activities are carried out independently or with support from the government or non-ministerial government institutions, as well as other components of the nation, in order to realize the maritime defense power. These activities strengthen the maritime defense in facing threats, disturbances, obstacles, and challenges, including the development of sea dimension strength, and assists the government in preparing national potential by fostering demographic geography and social conditions. This research on the participation of the Lamongan Coastal Community was carried out using qualitative research methods with direct and indirect sources from various writings. This research utilizes a naturalistic method as it is carried out in a natural setting and is based on the experience research subjects.KEYWORDS: Kampung Bahari Nusantara, Community Empowerment, Coastal Communities

Singapore has many advantages that can be exploited by Singapore. One of them is with popular culture. Now popular culture is one part of the culture that is being loved by the younger generation. This relates to the younger generation who are advanced in technology and novelty. One of them is from Japan. Japan is now progressing in terms of popular culture, although in general it is still quite low. This discussion will discuss the history of popular culture in Singapore. Then discuss what events can be part of Japanese popular culture in Singapore. The economic and cultural impact also has an impact on the development of Japanese popular culture in Singapore which further shows that Singapore is one of the countries that can be relied upon and spread to the Southeast Asia region.KEYWORDS: development, pop culture, Japan, Singapore

Political participation plays an important role in protecting the interests of the Chinese overseas in Indonesia and Malaysia. This journal is qualitative research with a library approach method. This research aims to find 1) political participation patterns of Chinese Oversees in Indonesia and Malaysia; 2) factors that influence the political participation of Chinese Oversees in Indonesia and Malaysia. Chinese overseas in Indonesia and Malaysia do not actively participate in politics as the local ethnic majorities, however with the development of democracy, the Chinese overseas mainly take part in the political field by voting in national elections and regional elections, participating in political parties, joining various associations, and building close relationships with government officials. In political participation, Chinese overseas is mainly influenced by the level of democracy, political awareness, and relations with local ethics.KEYWORDS: Political Participation, Chinese Overseas, Indonesia, Malaysia
Allosteric stabilization of calcium and phosphoinositide dual binding engages several synaptotagmins in fast exocytosis

Synaptic communication relies on the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the plasma membrane, which leads to neurotransmitter release. This exocytosis is triggered by brief and local elevations of intracellular Ca2+ with remarkably high sensitivity. How this is molecularly achieved is unknown. While synaptotagmins confer the Ca2+ sensitivity of neurotransmitter exocytosis, biochemical measurements reported Ca2+ affinities too low to account for synaptic function. However, synaptotagmin’s Ca2+ affinity increases upon binding the plasma membrane phospholipid PI(4,5)P2 and, vice versa, Ca2+ binding increases synaptotagmin’s PI(4,5)P2 affinity, indicating a stabilization of the Ca2+/PI(4,5)P2 dual-bound state. Here, we devise a molecular exocytosis model based on this positive allosteric stabilization and the assumptions that (1.) synaptotagmin Ca2+/PI(4,5)P2 dual binding lowers the energy barrier for vesicle fusion and that (2.) the effect of multiple synaptotagmins on the energy barrier is additive. The model, which relies on biochemically measured Ca2+/PI(4,5)P2 affinities and protein copy numbers, reproduced the steep Ca2+ dependency of neurotransmitter release. Our results indicate that each synaptotagmin engaging in Ca2+/PI(4,5)P2 dual-binding lowers the energy barrier for vesicle fusion by ~5 kBT and that allosteric stabilization of this state enables the synchronized engagement of several (typically three) synaptotagmins for fast exocytosis. Furthermore, we show that mutations altering synaptotagmin’s allosteric properties may show dominant-negative effects, even though synaptotagmins act independently on the energy barrier, and that dynamic changes of local PI(4,5)P2 (e.g. upon vesicle movement) dramatically impact synaptic responses. We conclude that allosterically stabilized Ca2+/PI(4,5)P2 dual binding enables synaptotagmins to exert their coordinated function in neurotransmission.

Objective

This study aimed to identify the effects of beamlet width on dynamic intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and determine the optimal parameters for the most effective radiotherapy plan.

Methods

This study evaluated 20 patients with NPC were selected for dynamic IMRT. Only the beamlet width in the optimization parameters was changed (set to 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mm that were named BL02, BL04, BL06, BL08, and BL10, respectively) to optimize the results of the five groups of plans. Using the plan quality scoring system, the dose results of the planning target volumes (PTVs) and organs at risks (OARs) were analyzed objectively and comprehensively. The lower the quality score, the better the quality of the plan. The efficiency and accuracy of plan execution were evaluated using monitor units (MUs) and plan delivery time (PDT).

Results

The BL04 mm group had the lowest quality score for the targets and OARs (0.087), while the BL10 mm group had the highest total score (1.249). The BL04 mm group had the highest MUs (837 MUs) and longest PDT (358 s). However, the MUs range of each group plan was below 100 MUs, and the PDT range was within 30 s. In the BL02, BL04, BL06, BL08, and BL10 plans, <5 MUs segments accounted for 33%, 16%, 24%, 33%, and 40% of total segments, respectively, with which the lowest was in the BL04 mm group.

Conclusion

Smaller beamlet widths have not only reduced OARs dose while maintaining high dose coverage to the PTVs, but also lead to more MUs that would produce greater PDT. Considering the quality and efficiency of dynamic IMRT, the beamlet width value of the Monaco treatment planning system set to 4 mm would be optimal for NPC.

Background

The gender differences in demographic and clinical characteristics were examined in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related liver diseases.

Methods

Overall, 634 patients (44.7 ± 13.8 years) were consecutively included. Data of demographic and clinical characteristics were collected during an assessment interview. Comparisons between male and female patients in terms of demographic and clinical data were carried out using univariate analyses. The independent associations between the demographic and clinical variables and gender were examined with either logistic regression or analysis of covariance as appropriate.

Results

The study sample consisted of 452 male and 182 female patients. Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that being employed (OR = 3.4), personal monthly income <3,000 yuan (OR = 0.3), being current alcohol users (OR = 6.4), Cirrhosis (OR = 5.9), Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) (OR = 8.5) and having less severe insomnia (OR = 0.6) were independently associated with male gender. The analysis of covariance revealed that after controlling for other potential confounding variables, later onset of HBV-related diseases (F = 4.5, p = 0.03) and older age (F = 6.7, p = 0.009) were independently associated with male gender.

Conclusions

Given the significant clinical differences in male and female patients with HBV-related liver diseases, more attention should be given to gender-specific treatment and prevention for this population.
De la frente al vientre: ética inmanente y violenta en “El Ojo Silva” de Roberto Bolaño
Authors: Estrada Jorge
Published: August 2022

Apoyado en un análisis filológico, este artículo busca interpreta la intertextualidad de “El Ojo Silva” como elemento clave de una ética inmanente que gira en torno a la violencia. La intertextualidad sirve tanto para posicionar el cuento dentro de una tradición literaria acéfala y de largo aliento, como para plantear que las iteraciones narrativas nutridas por la imaginación representan un ejercicio de la razón práctica que abarca generalizaciones, historia y ficción. La argumentación está dividida en cuatro partes que entrelazan: el planteamiento de un caso por medio de la captatio benevolentiae de la retórica clásica, el exilio como experiencia histórica y alegoría, el evento violento como centro inmanente y la violencia soberana que perfila una poética de la excepción. Este derrotero comienza con un rasgo estilístico puntual para fundamentar las reflexiones teóricas sobre la narrativa corta en la modernidad que cierran la investigación.
El Museo de Arte Contemporáneo y la Guerra Fría: Nemesio Antúnez director

Published: August 2022

La dirección de Nemesio Antúnez entre 1962 y 1964, y las administraciones que le siguieron en el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MAC), son un caso ejemplar de las dinámicas político-culturales desarrolladas durante la Guerra Fría. Este artículo analiza esta gestión museal desde la historia intelectual y la historia cultural, trabajando las redes de pensamiento que rodearon a Antúnez y la disquisición entre su programación y la influencia norteamericana en ese momento, atendiendo a cómo el MAC se involucró en la guerra fría cultural. De esta manera se busca aportar al conocimiento de las tramas institucionales que se dieron entre la intelectualidad periférica y los centros metropolitanos durante uno de los periodos claves del siglo XX, presentando ciertos programas expositivos que respondieron al impulso de los EE. UU. de inserción ideológica.
