Authors: El. Mansy Iman , Al. Subaie Amani , Ali Abeer , Al. Hajari Noor
Published: October 2021

Background: Great advances in tissue engineering open a new biological path to regenerate the damaged pulpal tissue. The new approach of stem cell transplantation to regeneration of tissues had been used in many medical fields with promising results including dental therapy. Aim of this istoreviewthe efficacy of stem cell grafting in regeneration of dental pulp from available animal and human studies for a systematic and meta-analysisreview. Methodology: AComprehensive electronic search with time and language restrictions was conducted. Several known databases were included Ex: PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science from 2000 to 2020.We combined the search terms and limited the study to the English language. Depending on PRISMA checklist, we removed duplicates, articles were screened based on title, abstract, and full text. The search resulted in 325 hits which after removing duplicates, exclusion studies the number of studies became 10. Results:In this review, The total samples used in this review was 40 samples from which 13 human patients had been included (mean age of 26.8 years old), 12 dogs, 3 mice and 12 inbred male miniature pigs using 94 teeth and molar. Moreover, all the used stem cells for dentine regeneration were adult mesenchymal stem cells however, the source of harvesting these stem cell differs between studies including adipose tissue and pulp CD31-SP, DPSCS, PDLSCs, Gdf11 gene,bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2),MDPSCs and SCAP. Furthermore, all types showed promising results however, some types gave better results over other including superior of adipose tissue CD31 SP over bone marrow CD31 SP and pulp stem progenitor (CD 105) cells over adipose CD105 cell. Conclusion: It was observed that stem cell grafting shows promising results in the regeneration of dental pulp in both animal and human studies with no side effect or toxicity. Therefore, we recommend widening the application of these techniques in human trials because of its safety and efficacy. Choice of carriers or type of stem cells up to our review should depend on the expenses, as there are no significant differences between them in both safety of efficacy profiles.

Strike means collective concentrated stoppage of work by the workers in order to pressurize the employer with a view to improve their wages or to protest against grievance about something or in support of other workers. The Supreme Court in several case laws observed that where strike has been declared illegal in public utility service and an amicable settlement has been concluded in the Conciliation proceedings The judgment of the Supreme Court is final until overruled. It is hoped that the Supreme Court will come up with a solution for upholding the democratic right of right to strike.
Detecção Precoce de Alzheimer Usando Machine Learning
Authors: Paiva Nathalia , Escovedo Tatiana
Published: October 2021

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease, responsible for approximately 60% to 80% of cases of dementia in the world and, as it still has no cure, it can end the life or family of the individual who presents its symptoms. Its diagnosis is made through the results of laboratory exams, cognitive tests and image exams, and MRIs are the most accurate method. As it is a disease without cure, the ideal is that it is diagnosed as soon as possible, so that doctors can slow down its evolution and the patient can maintain a life without depending on other people. Knowing that data science has been shown to be effective in supporting diagnosis in several areas of medicine, that is why in the present work we tested the performance of intelligent algorithms in the classification of characteristics extracted from magnetic resonance images. We achieved an accuracy of approximately 90% by predicting cognitive decline based on characteristics extracted from the OASIS-1 dataset, made available by the Open Access Series of Imaging Studies, using the logistic regression algorithm. Different classifier configurations were used in order to evaluate them, based on maximizing performance and minimizing computational cost. We concluded that it is possible to predict the disease using characteristics such as age, socioeconomic status and level of education.
What Remains to Be Discovered?
Authors: Nováček Pavel
Published: October 2021

What major scientific breakthroughs will occur in the rest of the 21st century? We can hardly imagine what discoveries await us in the fields of physics, biology, human health, or artificial intelligence. Every time people think that everything has already been discovered, there occurs another breakthrough. However, it is impossible to predict specifically when and what it will be. Among the most promising challenges on the border between science and our imaginations, is an exploration of our universe, and potential contact with an extra-terrestrial civilisation, better understanding of space, time, matter, and energy (including “dark matter” and “dark energy”) and, of course, the “unthinkable” potential of the human brain. It seems that what may never be discovered is scientific evidence of life after death. This is not found on the border between science and our fantasy (imagination), but on the border between science and faith.

Authors: Wyżewski Zbigniew , Gajewska Julitta , Rekosz-Burlaga Hanna , Babiński Leszek , Waliszewska Bogusława , Sitarek-Andrzejczyk Monika
Published: October 2021

The paper presents results of quantitative and qualitative analyses of the composition of saprophytic and pathogenic microflora colonising contemporary wood of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and oak (Quercus sp.), deposited for eight years in peat soil, under anoxia conditions at two measuring stations located at the fortified settlement of the Lusatian culture in Biskupin. Qualitative determinations of bacteria were performed based on the analyses of their cultural, morphological, physiological, and bio-chemical characteristics. Petrifilms™ and conventional bacteriological media were used for quantitative analyses. Bacteria in the examined wood and surrounding soil were identified as belonging to species, including those of the genera Pseudomonas, Clostridium (Cl. butyricum/beierinckii, Cl. perfringens), Bacillus, Corynebacterium, bacteria from the family Enterobacteriaceae, as well as aerobic and anaerobic cellulolytic bacteria. An important correlation between the standard pour plate method and PetrifilmTM was observed. Petrifilms are an effective alternative, in comparison with traditional methods, for the determination of total bacterial counts for wood samples.

Almacenes de carbono en un paisaje de humedal cárstico a lo largo de un corredor transversal costero de la Península de Yucatán
Authors: Morales-Ojeda Sara María , Herrera-Silveira Jorge A. , Orellana Roger
Published: October 2021

Los humedales costeros son dinámicos y su variación depende de la intensidad e interacción entre los procesos continentales y marinos que los influencian. Estos humedales son altamente productivos y sustentan servicios ambientales relevantes para la mitigación de los efectos del cambio climático antropogénico. Considerando un enfoque paisajístico de conectividad entre los procesos costeros, se llevó a cabo la evaluación de los almacenes de C aéreo y subterráneo en ocho humedales. Estos conforman un paisaje continuo en la costa norte de Yucatán denominado corredor transversal costero. El almacén de C para el corredor correspondió a 3 837 160 Mg de C. El humedal de manglar chaparro presentó el mayor almacén de carbono total por unidad de área (371 Mg C ha-1), siendo también el dominante en extensión. El gradiente en el almacén de C aéreo entre humedales obedeció a patrones de inundación, elevación topográfica, salinidad intersticial y la tolerancia específica de las especies. Los manglares almacenaron más carbono por hectárea que los humedales dominados por herbáceas emergentes y por la vegetación sumergida. Los primeros estarían dominados por procesos de producción y acumulación de C, mientras que en los segundos la producción y el reciclamiento serían los más importantes, repercutiendo en una menor acumulación de C. Los resultados contribuyen al entendimiento de los patrones de almacenamiento de C en un gradiente salino y topográfico en paisajes integrados por humedales costeros cársticos. Los resultados podrán utilizarse para evaluar las afectaciones regionales potenciales en el mediano y largo plazo ocasionados por impactos naturales y antropogénicos.

La diversidad de plantas vasculares está relacionada con la productividad y resiliencia de los bosques, por lo tanto, el desarrollo de indicadorespara su caracterización es fundamental. La riqueza de especies vasculares (S) ha mostrado ser un buen indicador de la diversidadde otros grupos biológicos. Asimismo, se ha propuesto que la riqueza de tipos funcionales de plantas (Sg), se correlaciona significativamentecon la riqueza de especies y, por lo tanto, puede ser usada como un indicador sustituto. En este trabajo se analiza la relaciónriqueza-área de muestreo (A), con bases teóricas y datos empíricos para proponer un marco teórico generalizado de las relaciones entrelos parámetros de las curvas: S-A, Sg-A y S-Sg. Se evalúa el modelo potencial y el logarítmico de las curvas de acumulación riqueza-áreade especies de plantas vasculares y tipos funcionales, estos últimos caracterizados mediante una clasificación basada en 36 atributosfuncionales en 15 sitios de muestreo de 1000 m2 en bosques de oyamel del Monte Tláloc, Estado de México. Los resultados muestranestimaciones de riqueza equiparables con las mediciones directas usando solamente un tipo de riqueza para estimar el otro. Esto puedesimplificar considerablemente la obtención de indicadores de diversidad en inventarios de plantas vasculares.

El docente como decisor en la apropiación de las tecnologías digitales para la intervención didáctica: los beneficios de la soberanía tecnológica desde el paradigma libre
Authors: Alvarez Santiago Marcelo
Published: October 2021

El presente ensayo propone la lectura analítica del papel que cumplen las decisiones teórico- metodológicas del profesorado en la selección y la apropiación de las tecnologías digitales en las intervenciones didácticas. Básicamente, se coloca en relieve el concepto de “soberanía tecnológica” en los procesos educativos, en el cual el rol de las personas docentes resulta crucial para favorecer marcos de referencia de “paradigmas libres” en tecnología, en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje. Se realiza un recorrido conceptual sobre la idea de “curador de contenidos”, desde el papel de la persona que enseña y el acento se coloca sobre la noción de medios digitales en los escenarios de educación. Dentro de los marcos referenciales sobre la libertad tecnológica, se proponen dos miradas: “Software libre” y “Recursos Educativos Abiertos”, como propiciadores de la construcción de soberanía tecnológica en el interior de las construcciones didácticas, las cuales se despliegan en los espacios que configuran la praxis docente. En última instancia y de manera breve, se concluye el ensayo al reflexionar sobre el lugar preponderante que debe asumir el profesor que selecciona y combina materiales educativos en sus construcciones didácticas.

Authors: Seas Tencio Jenny
Published: October 2021

La experiencia del proceso de formación en el uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC), implementada en el proyecto que imparte la carrera interuniversitaria de bachillerato en Ciencias de la Educación I y II Ciclos, con énfasis en Lengua y Cultura Cabécar, se toma como objeto de estudio para identificar hallazgos que contribuyan en la construcción de una propuesta mejorada y actualizada para la oferta de la tercera cohorte. Se aborda, específicamente, el desarrollo profesional para la adquisición de competencias docentes en el uso de las TIC, el cual ha sido develado, en el Octavo informe del estado de la educación (2021), como una de las áreas deficitarias en el personal docente. La elección de esta área radica en la importancia de que las personas docentes logren un adecuado aprovechamiento de las TIC para el desarrollo de los procesos educativos y el logro de sus metas formativas, con un uso ético, que trascienda en la formación estudiantil. Este análisis se complementa con el estudio de propuestas teóricas y prácticas en torno al desarrollo profesional docente, sin dejar de lado el contexto intercultural del proyecto. Se emplea una metodología cualitativa que parte de la revisión documental. La sistematización permitió definir recomendaciones para la concreción del proceso formativo, la definición de competencias TIC en torno a los procesos de aprender, diseñar, implementar, evaluar e investigar, y un planteamiento estratégico para la ejecución en la tercera cohorte, que se considera factible de aplicar en otras áreas del desarrollo profesional.

Vanishing viscosity limit of the 3D incompressible micropolar equations in a bounded domain
Authors: Chu Yangyang , Xiao Yuelong
Published: October 2021

In this paper, we study the vanishing viscosity limit for the 3D
incompressible micropolar equations in a flat domain with boundary
conditions. We prove the existence of the global weak solution of the
micropolar equations and obtain the uniform estimate of the strong
solution. Furthermore, we establish the convergence rate from the
solution of the micropolar equations to that of the ideal micropolar
equations as all viscosities tend to zero (i.e., (ε,χ,γ,κ) → 0).

Competencies and Development Needs of Physician Managers in Nigeria: A Case Study of selected hospitals in Ibadan City, Oyo State
Authors: Daramola Gbemisola A. , Awolusi Olawumi Dele
Published: October 2021

The physician is traditionally the head of the medical team. To be an effective and efficient team leader is not innate but requires acquiring some competencies. The medical school curriculum was deficient in this regard hence the need for acquisition of these skills through training. Consequently, the present study aims to assess the influence of leadership competencies and Development Needs on the job performance of Physician Mangers. A cross-sectional survey was distributed among Physician Managers in various hospital types that were purposefully selected. Ten Physician Managers were also interviewed for in-depth information of skills they require to perform well. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to summarize the items of the questionnaire at 5% level of significance and to determine if a significant difference existed between groups of Physician managers. Results show that possessing the competencies; communication and relationship management, leadership and business skills and knowledge do influence the job performance of Physician Mangers. There was a significant difference between physicians that had formal training in management and those that had none in the communication and professionalism domains. Seven Physician Managers from different types of hospitals were interviewed, two of them females. They had been in managerial positions from 6months to 34 years. They all emphasised communication and leadership skills as important competencies for every physician manager. They all also suggested that management training must be introduced either during undergraduate or postgraduate training and that physician as head of the medical team require regular management update training.

Published: October 2021

Media ecology examined the interrelationships between the media and their supporting environment. This research article aimed to determine the category of life-support sources (niche breadth) and to measure the level of competition (niche overlap) of local private television in South Kalimantan in seizing for viewers. This research used a quantitative approach. Target audience data, as the main data, was obtained by data collection techniques in the form of a log book survey results or management estimates from each television. The collected data was processed using the niche breadth formula to determine the category of each television media, and the niche overlap formula to determine the level of television competition in seizing for its viewers. The findings showed that Duta TV was in the generalist category and Prima TV was in the specialist category. The niche overlap scores differed between a number of target audience types, where the level of competition in seizing for viewers between the two televisions was quite high in the gender category compared to the other four types of target audiences, namely age group, socioeconomic status, recent education, and occupation.

Published: October 2021

Naturalization takes place at the intersection between a host government's propensity to give citizenship and refugees' attitudes towards it. However, the naturalization of Syrian refugees, with its top-down approach, shows the possibility of a divergence between a government’s propensity and refugees’ attitudes, and that divergence may spoil the expected benefits. This study questions the factors that determine government propensity and refugees' attitude, besides the convergence and divergence between them. The regressions have been estimated using data collected from a sample of 296 Syrian students at Mardin University, Turkey. The findings of this study revealed a contradiction between attitude and propensity, although they share factors of education and the hosting context. While the indications of social and cultural integration have a positive effect on attitudes, they do not affect propensity. Besides the contextual factors of hosting province shape attitude and propensity. Moreover, the most important factor in deciding attitude is the perception of the costs and benefits of naturalization.
Time in Therapeutic Range (TTR) and the Efficacy of Anticoagulant Therapy in Preventing Thromboembolism in Cardiac Patients Receiving Warfarin at Shifa Medical Complex: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Habeeb Mohammed , Hilles Ashraf
Published: October 2021

Background: Anticoagulant control is assessed by Time in Therapeutic Range (TTR). For a given patient, TTR is defined as the duration of time in which the patient’s International Normalized Ratio (INR) values were within a desired range. Aim: To assess TTR in patients receiving anticoagulant treatment and the efficacy of Anticoagulant therapy in preventing Thromboembolism in Cardiac Patients receiving Warfarin for atrial fibrillation and with high CHADS VASC score, valvular and non-valvular heart disease at a referral center for cardiovascular diseases at Gaza Shifa Medical Complex, Palestine. Materials and Method: Over 8 months, we enrolled eligible patients presenting to Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza for regular INR testing. Demographic data, medical history, and current medications were determined for all participants. TTR was assessed by both tradition and cross-sectional methods. Results: A total of 46 patients (mean age 57.15±12.6 years, 50% women) underwent 230 INR measurements. The mean TTR was calculated as 50.86±21.37%. Participants of this study were assessed for their risk of having stroke using CHADS VASC score and risk of bleeding using HAS BLED score. Risk of stroke was significantly higher for females (P= 0.031). Of the sample patients, 47.8% were in the good control category (TTR >60%), and 52.2% were in the poor control category (TTR <60%). The mean TTR of the studied patients (54.9%) was below the good control range.There were 12 participants had thromboembolism of patients with low traditional TTR. This was statistically significant, TTR with occurrence of thromboembolism, (P= 0.001). Conclusion: We found a mean TTR of 50.86% among study patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and high CHADS VASC score, valvular and non - valvular heart disease who were receiving warfarin therapy. None of the risk factor was significantly related to low TTR values among study participants. The study showed the low TTR was associated with increased risk of thromboembolism among participants in this study. Moreover, showed the superiority of tradition TTR over cross-sectional TTR in evaluating anticoagulant therapy.

Published: October 2021

Purpose of the research: The purpose of this paper is to define pop-up stores. Design/Methodology: Adopting an exploratory research design, semi-structured interviews and field observations were undertaken with brand managers of different types of pop-up stores and at different industry levels in Lebanon. Results/findings: A pop-up store is guided by a clear strategy to meet specific objectives using available resources. Research findings highlight a clear distinction between pop-up stores developed by newly established brands and mature brands in terms of purpose and function. The two brand classes can each manifest in four types of pop-up stores: pop-up as a distribution channel, pop-up as a communications channel, pop-up as a distribution and communications channel and pop-up complementing a distribution channel. Practical implications and conclusions: This study qualitatively explores brand managers’ understanding of pop-up stores, their perceptions and their uses in the Middle Eastern market; a market that hasn’t yet been explored in academic research related to these types of stores. It presents, defines and contextualizes a pop-up store and anchors it among new types of retail formats.

Published: October 2021

Purpose and context: The purpose of the study was to explore the construction of professionalism in a multiple professional bodies (MPB) landscape in South Africa (SA) and demonstrate how this construction can be used to enhance a professional accreditation regime. Professional accreditation has become a pre-requisite for business rescue practitioners (BRPs). The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) licensing is linked to multiple professional bodies’ knowledge and practices but are not generic. This study was guided by one key question: How do PBs providing BRPs construct professionalism, and to what extent can the existing construction of professionalism facilitate the development of a professional accreditation regime? Research design and methods: A qualitative research design used required researchers to use four consecutive steps, namely (a) interviewing member services’ managers at four professional bodies (PBs); (b) systematic content analysis of codes of professional conduct and policy statements to identify constituent professionalism notions; (c) a systematic search of the literature to identify notions of professionalism mentioned in definitions and explanations of the construct; and (d) analysis of notions of professionalism using the constant comparison procedure to reveal critical themes. Results: A total of 90 separate notions of professionalism were identified in the 192 scholarly papers included in our study. The identified themes within business rescue practitioner (BRP) professionalism (emphasising relational aspects) point to practitioner dealings with (i) clients (business rescue candidates); (ii) government and others; (iii) the PB; and (iv) oneself to gain the essence of occupation. There is fragmentation between the constructed conceptualisations of professionalism among PBs, leading to an incoherent and inconsistent expert accreditation regime. Practical implications and value: The results from the indicated exploration steps were used to advance a programmatic framework to construct professionalism in an MPB landscape and set a future research agenda. The results also show that business rescue practitioners’ professionalism cannot be attained in a multi-professional body setting with an integrated professional accreditation framework.
The Psychological Makeup of Scottie’s Character in Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo

Published: October 2021

This paper aims at studying the psychological makeup of Scottie’s character in Vertigo (1958), a film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and usually considered one of his masterpieces. The paper emphasizes the importance of analyzing Scottie’s character from a psychoanalytic point of view, especially the images, dreams, and schizophrenic duality of his personality. The significance of the study lies in its attempt to resolve the argument about Scottie’s story. Some critics consider this story a fictional dream that resulted from the conflict that Scottie suffered from in the past in intense psychological trauma. On the other hand, the story is a complex murder story planned by an evil character called “Gavin.” To resolve this conflict of opinion, this paper tries to explain the complexity of Scottie’s surface and analyze it according to some psychoanalytic theories and concepts such as Freud’s theory of the Unconscious, and the idea of fantasy, and the dream work. The researchers conclude that considering Vertigo a dream is one of the ways that help to resolve the conflict about Scottie’s character and the film as a whole.
Demokratia and Theatrokratia: The Theatricality of Democracy
Authors: Karim Dr Muzaffar
Published: October 2021

When we think of Democracy as a way of governance, usually modern democratic states come to mind. Most of us believe that democracy is a recent invention. But, the birthplace of democracy is the ancient city of Athens and ironically the birth of democracy is coetaneous with the birth of (Athenian) theatre. This paper tries to establish the connection between theatre and democracy or in other words theatricality and democracy. It tries to elaborate upon the fact that the notion of theatricality is inherent to democratic function and may be its doom as well. Democracy represents progress, a movement in time, a teleology. But, the present problems of famine, violence and other man-made disasters put this movement under suspicion – a progress or a reversion? This question of teleology and time vis-à-vis democracy is argued through Jean Baudrillard’s notion of the recycling of time.

Sesuatu yang mungkin kebetulan saja bahwa setiap pergantian abad ditandai dengan adanya penyakit menular (wabah).  Bertambah abad bertambah pula skala penularannya.  Pada abad ke-17 hingga 19 di Jakarta terjangkit  endemi Lepra yang peningkatan jumlah terinfeksinya tidak terlalu cepat dan jangkauannya tidak terlalu luas, namun pada abad ke-20 terjadi epidemi Leptospirosis yang jumlah peningkatan terinfeksi cukup cepat dan luas.  Pada abad ke-21 terjadi penyakit yang ekskalasi terinfesinya lebih dahsyat dari wabah sebelumnya, wabah  tersebut adalah Covid-19 yang oleh Badan Kesehatan Dunia ditetapkan  berstatus pandemi karena gerakan penularannya sangat cepat dan jangkauan walayahnya global.  Riwayat petaka dalam kehidupan manusia ini meninggalkan jejak bukti, salah satunya adalah karantina. Sisa Karantina penyakit menular masih bisa dilihat di Pulau Kuiper, Pulau Onrust dan Pulau Furmerend (Kepulauan Seribu). Khusus Pulau Furmerend, jejaknya belum diperlihatkan karena belum dilakukan ekskavasi. Kelak yang juga akan menjadi bukti sejarah adalah Wisma Atlet Kemayoran karena dewasa ini sedang digunakan untuk karantina Covid-19. Upaya pelestarian sisa karantina sebagai bukti sejarah sudah dilakukan oleh Pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta tetapi perlu ditingkatkan.
JEJAK-JEJAK BENCANA SOSIAL PADA PROSES KONVERSI RELIGI-POLITIK MASA KLASIK AWAL (ABAD 5-7) DI ASIA TENGGARA

Proses konversi religi dan politik pernah terjadi di Asia Tenggara masa klasik awal. Peristiwa ini berlangsung sekitar kurun abad ke-5 sampai dengan ke-7 Masehi, ketika Agama Hindu-Buddha mulai menggantikan Agama Weda. Adanya indikasi proses konversi religi dan politik pada kurun waktu yang hampir bersamaan memunculkan masalah mengenai faktor-faktor yang melatarinya serta cara-cara konversi yang dilakukan. Tulisan ini merupakan hasil kajian yang dilakukan melalui studi kepustakaan terhadap berbagai hasil penelitian yang membahas tentang bukti-bukti proses konversi religi dan politik. Wilayah-wilayah yang dibahas pada tulisan ini antara lain adalah Jawa, Kalimantan, Sumatra, dan Daratan Utama Asia Tenggara. Hasilnya, berdasarkan data-data arkeologis dan epigrafis menunjukkan faktor pendorongnya adalah religi dan ekonomi. Faktor religi dapat dikaitkan dengan perkembangan Agama Hindu-Buddha di India yang mengantikan Agama Weda. Agama Hindu-Buddha mendorong munculnya penguasa-penguasa baru. Penguasa-penguasa baru tersebut merasa berhak menaklukkan berbagai wilayah yang sebelumnya dikuasai pemimpin yang menganut Weda. Dorongan penaklukan diperkuat dengan faktor ekonomi, yaitu usaha merebut berbagai pusat dagang dan sumber komoditi dagang yang selanjutnya menjadi dasar terjadi konflik. Pola penalukan yang didasarkan data arkeologi dan epigrafi pada berbagai wilayah di Asia Tenggara menunjukkan pola yang hampir sama. Misi untuk mengubah aspek religi dan ambisi ekonomi memunculkan bencana sosial berupa perang dan penghancuran.

Kadatuan Sriwijaya adalah sebuah kerajaan dari abad ke-7 hingga ke-14 Masehi. Berdasarkan prasasti dan arca-arca di Palembang terlihat, bahwa agama resmi Sriwijaya adalah Buddha. Namun, pada saat yang sama agama Hindu juga dianut oleh sebagian masyarakat. Banyak arca-arca yang ditemukan di Palembang dalam keadaan tidak lengkap. Sejumlah arca ditemukan tanpa kepala, tangan, kaki atau badan. Ketidaklengkapan arca-arca ini menimbulkan pertanyaan tentang penyebab kerusakannya. Apakah kerusakan arca disebabkan oleh faktor alam atau manusia? Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor penyebab kerusakan arca dengan menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif. Berdasarkan analisis pecahan-pecahan arca tersebut, dapat diduga bahwa penyebab kerusakannya adalah faktor manusia.
ARAH KEBIJAKAN RAJA PADA MASA JAWA KUNO PASCA PERISTIWA PRALAYA DARI SUDUT PANDANG TEORI KONTRAK SOSIAL
Authors: Alnoza Muhamad
Published: October 2021

Kiamat atau akhir dari dunia dalam kebudayaan Hindu-Buddha dikenal sebagai pralaya.  Konsep pralaya berkaitan dengan salah satu siklus zaman dalam kepercayaan Hindu-Buddha, yaitu zaman Kaliyuga. Keberadaan pralaya sebagai bencana menyebabkan suatu perubahan mendasar bagi kekuasaan di Jawa pada masa lampau. Tulisan ini secara khusus mengangkat permasalahan mengenai kebijakan apa yang dikeluarkan oleh seorang raja pasca pralaya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui arah kebijakan raja pasca-pralaya sebagai bencana atau kiamat dalam sudut pandang kontrak sosial. Tulisan ini menjadikan contoh Raja Sindok dan Airlangga sebagai perbandingan raja yang berkuasa pasca pralaya. Metode arkeologi digunakan untuk menjawab permasalahan ini. Metode tersebut terdiri dari pengumpulan data, analisis dan interpretasi. Rangkaian penelitian tersebut menghasilkan suatu pemahaman bahwa kedua raja secara langsung maupun tidak telah mengklaim diri sebagai Dewa Wisnu yang selamat dari pralaya, sehingga rakyat berhak mendapatkan keselamatan dan kemaslahatan pasca pralaya melalui kebijakan-kebijakan yang dikeluarkan oleh sang raja, baik berupa pembangunan ataupun pelindungan.
