Political Governance, Law, and Economic Development
Authors: Lee Yong-Shik
Published: June 2019

Political stability is an important precondition for economic development. While political stability cannot be created by laws alone, an effective legal framework for political governance, such as a constitution, can facilitate political stability. Political stability is not synonymous with democracy; while civil liberty is often considered a key ingredient for prosperity, it has been historically observed that promotion of democracy, while an important value, does not necessarily lead to economic development. Successful economic developments in the East Asian countries, such as South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan from the 60s to the 80s and in contemporary China show the importance of political stability in achieving economic progress albeit with certain democratic deficits. The system of political governance that creates political stability may differ from one place to another, depending upon political needs, cultural priorities, historical contexts, and popular aspirations. This paper considers these elements and also examines, based on local conditions and priorities, the kind of political leadership that has brought political stability and economic development, the question of democracy, and the legal frameworks conducive to sustaining political stability.

Published: June 2019

A new mixed-ligand diorganotin(IV) complex, [μ-(4-dpe){Me2Sn(cup)2}2] (1), was synthesized by reacting dimethyltin(IV) dichloride with 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene (4-dpe) and ammonium N-Nitroso-N-phenylhydroxylamine (cup). The prepared complex was fully characterized by PXRD,1H,13C and119Sn NMR, IR, and UV spectra and elemental analysis (CHN). The structural analysis of complex1by X-ray diffraction showed that this compound consists of centrosymmetric binuclear units that crystallize in the monoclinic system with the space group ofP21/c. Thermal behavior of this complex was interrogated by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TGA and DTA) under air atmosphere. The study of thermal behavior and luminescence properties of prepared diorganotin(IV) complex exhibited that this complex can be used as a emitting layer in the preparation of optical devices. The prepared coordination compound was used in two different concentrations in the manufacture of two light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).

Published: June 2019

A new Pb(II) complex, [Pb(8-OQ)(4-NB)], where 8-OQ = 8-hydroxyquinolinate, 4-NB = 4-nitrobenzoate, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The single crystal X-ray analysis reveals that the complex possesses a tetranuclear Pb4O4 cubane structure. The Pb(II) atom is coordinated by three triply bridging phenolic hydroxyl O atoms of 8-OQ ligands, then the tetranuclear Pb system is formed resulting in a tetrahedral cage. The interaction of complex with HS-DNA in Tris buffer was studied by UV−vis absorption spectrum and fluorescence ethidium bromide displacement experiment with an intrinsic binding constant of 1.52×104 M-1 and a linear Stern–Volmer quenching constant of 6.77×103 M-1. Anticancer activity against MCF-7, HepG-2 and A549 cell lines of complex was also determined by the MTT-based assay. The results showed the complex can inhibit proliferation of these three kinds of tumor cells and is less cytotoxic than cisplatin.
The interaction of morin and morin-5’-sulfonic acid with lead(II): Study of the 1:1 complex formation process in aqueous solution
Authors: Lutoshkin Maxim A. , Kuznetsov Boris N. , Levdanskiy Vladimir A.
Published: June 2019

This article focuses on the aqueous complexation between two flavonoids (morin and morinsulfonate) and Pb2+ at constant ionic strength I=0.5 M (NaClO4). The determination of stability constants of ML complexes were performed at wide pH range. Two obtained constants are 14.8 ± 0.1 and 15.2 ± 0.1 logarithmic units for morin and morin-5’-sulfonic acid, respectively. For estimating the thermodynamic stability of the complexes studied, the Def2-SV(P)/DFT/PBE0/SMD method has been used. Different computational models were tested to describe the data obtained. The theoretical values of logK reproduce the experimental parameters within reasonable errors.
Personal View: The barn owl — a specialist for studying sensory systems
Authors: Wagner Hermann
Published: June 2019

In this personal view article, the impact of an auditory specialist, the barn owl, to our understanding of sensory processing, especially auditory processing, is discussed from the perspective of a long-lasting career.

In times when research on model systems such as the mouse or the fruit fly, both generalists for most of the behaviors examined, celebrates big successes, one may ask what the work on animals occupying specialized niches, “specialists”, can contribute to advance our knowledge about sensory systems. A specialist in this context is an animal that occupies a certain ecological niche and shows corresponding adaptations in anatomy and physiology. This article presents a personal view on the impact of the work on such a specialist. In my article I shall focus on audition in the barn owl, a specialist for hunting by listening.

I started my scientific career in 1979, working with houseflies, and have worked with barn owls since my time as a postdoc at the California Institute of Technology (“Caltech”, Pasadena, CA, USA) in 1985. My interest in specialists derived from my work as an ornithologist when I realized that adaptations like the long and curved bill of the curlew help animals to occupy certain ecological niches. I wanted to understand in a formal sense, and in comparison to engineering, how evolution shapes such specializations.
Panentheisms, Creation and Evil
Authors: Attfield Robin
Published: June 2019

Can panentheism cope with the problem of evil? This problem is often understood as one for classical theists, who maintain that the cosmos, together with its evils, was created by an all-powerful and benevolent God. For classical theists need to reconcile the world’s evils with divine creation. But corresponding problems re-emerge for theologies of both pantheistic and panentheistic kinds. Thus a problem arises for panentheists, with their teachings about a close relation between God and the cosmos. The closer the relation, the more intense the problem. Thus panentheists who regard the world as necessary to or part of God must hold that its evils are likewise necessary to or part of God. I explore in this paper whether panentheism can overcome the corresponding problem. This exploration involves sifting different varieties of panentheism. While for some varieties the problem is insoluble, this turns out to be less so for others, which retain central features of classical theism, while stressing interaction between God and the created world. In particular, grounds will be offered for holding that the version of panentheism put forward by Jürgen Moltmann and by Arthur Peacocke is defensible and can overcome this problem.
The Emotional Impact of Evil: Philosophical Reflections on Existential Problems
Authors: Colgrove Nicholas
Published: June 2019

In The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoyevsky illustrates that encounters with evil do not solely impact agents’ beliefs about God (or God’s existence). Evil impacts people on an emotional level as well. Authors like Hasker and van Inwagen sometimes identify the emotional impact of evil with the “existential” problem of evil. For better or worse, the existential version of the problem is often set aside in contemporary philosophical discussions. In this essay, I rely on Robert Roberts’ account of emotions as “concern-based construals” to show that theistic philosophers can effectively address the existential problem (and so, the problem should not be set aside). In fact, addressing the emotional impact of evil is crucial, I argue, given that resolving just the impact of evil on agents’ beliefs about God constitutes an incomplete response to the problem of evil.

A painful foot with diagnostic and therapeutic consequences
Authors: Allen Sara Maria , Bédos Ulvin Line , Sabel Wenche , Popperud Trine Haug , Ørstavik Kristin
Published: June 2019

Background

A wide range of patients are referred to multidisciplinary pain clinics. An important part of the work-up is a thorough pain analysis that might reveal a specific cause for chronic pain.

Method

We describe a patient with chronic pain in one foot after a light trauma and repeated surgery. However, careful examination revealed symptoms and clinical finings in both feet. This led to referral to a University Hospital and the diagnosis of a chronic neurologic condition explaining both symptoms and findings. The diagnosis of this condition has implications both for further follow-up for this patient and possibly also other family members.

Implications

Professionals working in the pain-field should be aware of diagnosis that might partly explain increased pain or complications after surgery.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and chronic pain conditions – vitally protective systems gone wrong
Authors: Pedersen Maria
Published: June 2019

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and chronic pain syndromes represent major health problems in society. These conditions are disabling and strongly associated with low quality of life. Even though CFS and chronic pain are separate conditions, they have strikingly much in common. Both pain and fatigue are important sensations with protective value in an acute situation. It can be life-threatening not to be aware of them. However, as these symptoms become chronic, their protective roles decrease and instead they become health problems. Our understanding of the perception of pain and fatigue has shifted through the years, from a dualistic biomedical point of view to a holistic biopsychosocial understanding. This combined with the increasing evidence of how our brain works in a predictive/anticipatory manner, gives a deeper understanding of why treatments like cognitive behavior therapies and stress relief therapies can help these patients recover to better health.
Chronic low back pain is highly individualised: patterns of classification across three unidimensional subgrouping analyses
Authors: Rabey Martin , Smith Anne , Kent Peter , Beales Darren , Slater Helen , O’Sullivan Peter
Published: June 2019

Background and aims

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a complex disorder where central and peripheral nociceptive processes are influenced by factors from multiple dimensions associated with CLBP (e.g. movement, pain sensitivity, psychological). To date, outcomes for treatments matched to unidimensional subgroups (e.g. psychologically-based) have been poor. Therefore, unidimensional subgrouping may not reflect the complexity of CLBP presentations at an individual level. The aim of this study was therefore to explore patterns of classification at an individual level across the three previously-published, data-driven, within-dimension subgrouping studies.

Methods

Cross-sectional, multidimensional data was collected in 294 people with CLBP. Statistical derivation of subgroups within each of three clinically-important dimensions (pain sensitivity, psychological profile, pain responses following repeated spinal bending) was briefly reviewed. Patterns of classification membership were subsequently tabulated across the three dimensions.

Results

Of 27 possible patterns across these dimensions, 26 were represented across the cohort.

Conclusions

This result highlights that while unidimensional subgrouping has been thought useful to guide treatment, it is unlikely to capture the full complexity of CLBP. The amount of complexity important for best patient outcomes is currently untested.

Implications

For clinicians this study highlights the high variability of presentations of people with CLBP at the level of the individual. For example, clinician’s should not assume that those with high levels of pain sensitivity will also have high psychological distress and have pain summation following repeated spinal bending. A more flexible, multidimensional, clinically-reasoned approach to profile patient complexity may be required to inform individualised, patient-centred care. Such individualised care might improve treatment efficacy. This study also has implications for researchers; highlighting the inadequacy of unidimensional subgrouping processes and methodological difficulties in deriving subgroups across multidimensional data.
Resilient Modulus of Expansive Soils at High Suction Using Vapor Pressure Control
Authors: Banerjee Aritra , Puppala Anand J. , Hoyos Laureano R. , Likos William J. , Patil Ujwalkumar D.
Published: June 2019

Robust design of pavement sections underlain by high-plasticity subgrade soils requires determination of subgrade resilient modulus over a wide range of suction to account for seasonal and diurnal variation of moisture. A laboratory experimental apparatus capable of performing suction-controlled repeated load triaxial tests at high suction (5 to 600 MPa) has been developed by integrating automated vapor pressure control to the specimen gas phase within a cyclic triaxial setup. The system eliminates limitations on applicable upper-bound suction that exist in more commonly adopted axis-translation approaches. This article describes the experimental setup, its working principle, and test procedures. Results are presented for a high-plasticity clayey soil to demonstrate testing capability for suction ranging from 5 to 100 MPa. Results show repeatability having an average coefficient of variation of less than 6 % for all loading sequences.
Testing and Evaluation on Dynamic Response of a New Modified Soil Subgrade under Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Authors: Wei Haibin , Han Leilei , Zhang Yangpeng , Li Ziqi , Han Shuanye
Published: June 2019

Dynamic response analysis is an effective method of evaluating the strength, deformation, and stability of subgrade under repeated vehicle traffic loads. It is usually premised on the results of a field test, which not only requires a lot of manpower and money but also can be easily affected by extraneous factors. In this study, a laboratory test was conducted in order to examine the dynamic response of a new type subgrade: silty clay (SC) modified by fly ash and crumb rubber (RFS). A novel tester was adopted in order to simulate and impulse traffic loads with different vehicle speeds/weights on subgrade materials. In addition, the dynamic stress and acceleration responses of RFS and SC were analyzed under varying speeds and axle loads under 0–5 freeze-thaw (F-T) cycles. Thereafter, scanning electron microscope tests were conducted to bring about clarity regarding the effect on the internal structural changes of two test soils in order to elaborate on the reasons for these dynamic response changes. According to the findings of these tests, the dynamic stability of SC is better than the RFS before F-T cycles. However, the RFS provides better resistance to F-T dynamic stability as the F-T cycle goes on. In particular, the RFS is more suitable for subgrade filling in seasonally frozen regions. Against this backdrop, the current article proposes a convenient method to evaluate the dynamic response of subgrade in laboratory, besides providing a reference for the dynamic characteristics of RFS.
Anisotropic Damage Model of Soft and Hard Composite Rock and Experimental Verification
Authors: Zhao Donglei , Zuo Shuangying , Wang Song , Huang Chun
Published: June 2019

In order to derive the anisotropic damage model of soft and hard composite rock and to study the influence law of damage on the deterioration degree of material mechanical parameters in different directions, the transversely isotropic elastic constitutive equation was corrected by two sets of damage variables in the local coordinate system of bedding plane. By coordinate transformation, an effective stress–strain relationship in the global coordinate system was formed. The rationality of the damage model was verified by the results of uniaxial compression test. The results show that (1) The damage of soft and hard composite rock has transversely isotropic characteristics. (2) The change trend of damage variables varying with strain is closely related to each stage of the damage process; at the same strain level, the damage variables increase first and then decrease with the increase of the bedding plane’s dip angle (0°~90°) and have a good corresponding relation with the damage model. (3) The strength and deformation parameters calculated by the damage model of soft and hard composite rock can reflect the test results well and have obvious anisotropy. The calculated curves before failure are also consistent with the experimental results. (4) Through the damage model, the stress–strain relationship at each dip angle can be determined by the two sets of deformation parameters for the bedding plane’s dip angles of 0° and 90°. Because the damage deterioration effect during loading process is considered, the mechanical behavior of the specimens after failure can be predicted, which has some guiding significance for the experimental research, theoretical calculation, and engineering construction based on soft and hard composite rock.
Assessment of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force and Torque on Metal Alloys Used in Medical Devices
Authors: Woods Terry O. , Delfino Jana G. , Rajan Sunder
Published: June 2019

Millions of patients receive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans each year, and thousands of healthcare professionals and other individuals also routinely enter the magnetic resonance (MR) environment. The electric and magnetic fields used by the MR system to create MR images produce hazards that must be considered to determine whether a medical device or other object may safely be used in or near an MR system. Magnetically induced deflection force and torque are two of the hazards that must be addressed to determine the MRI safety of any device or object that will be used in or near an MR system. This article presents magnetically induced force and torque test results for a variety of common medical implant alloys. For seven of the eleven tested alloys, magnetically induced force is less than the device weight in any current clinical 1.5, 3.0, and 7.0-T MR system. For the other alloys, the magnetically induced force is greater than the device weight in some MR systems. The torque test results for the tested alloys demonstrate that for static magnetic fields of 3.0 T or less, the magnetically induced torque will always be less than the worst case torque produced by gravity. These results may be leveraged in MRI safety assessments for medical devices and other objects composed of those alloys and conforming to the same ASTM specifications and may be used as part of the information needed to generate MR Conditional labeling for the devices.
A perícia e o perito criminal contábil: Instrumentos a serviço da justiça
Authors: Silva Thiago Henrique Costa
Published: June 2019

Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal evidenciar o papel da perícia criminal, sobretudo da perícia criminal contábil, como instrumento jurídico e técnico-científico de combate à criminalidade e auxílio à justiça, sendo elaborado em uma abordagem qualitativa, subsidiada por pesquisa bibliográfica e análise indireta de dados. Em uma sociedade em que a criminalidade avança no sentido de se especializar para garantir altos ganhos e a consequente impunidade, é papel do Estado buscar meios de combate ao crime organizado. Nesse sentido, a perícia criminal contábil tem o importante papel de elucidar os crimes que ocasionam o maior prejuízo para a sociedade, àqueles que envolvem sonegação, desvio ou ocultação de dinheiro, que deveriam ir ao encontro do interesse público e da efetivação de políticas públicas. O Código de Processo Penal é taxativo quanto à necessidade de perícia criminal nos casos em que a infração deixar vestígios e, sendo a contabilidade a ciência responsável pelo registro, controle e caminho do patrimônio, a perícia criminal contábil ocupa lugar central nos processos que envolvem crimes contra o sistema financeiro ou contra a ordem econômica e tributária. Dessa forma é cada vez mais necessário que os Estados invistam nas carreiras das polícias técnico-científicas e na contratação e especialização de peritos criminais, que elaborarão laudos capazes de interpretar vestígios, produzindo provas em favor da verdade.  AbstractThe main objective of this paper is to highlight the role of criminal forensics, especially forensic accounting, as a legal and technical-scientific instrument to combat crime and assisting justice, being elaborated in a qualitative approach, subsidized by bibliographical research and documental. In a society that criminality progresses in order to specialize guaranteeing high gains and the consequent impunity, it is the role of the state to seek ways of combating organized crime. In this sense, criminal accounting expertise has the important role of elucidating crimes that cause the greatest harm to society, to those involving evasion, misappropriation or concealment of money, which should meet the public interest and the implementation of public policies. The Code of Criminal Procedure is taxactive regarding the need for criminal expertise in cases where illegality leaves traces and, the accounting being the science responsible for registration, control and patrimony path, forensic accounting occupies central place in the processes which involve crimes against the financial system or against the economic and tributary order. In this way it is increasingly necessary for States to invest in the careers of technical-scientific police and in the hiring and specialization of criminal experts, who will produce reports capable of interpreting traces, producing proof for the truth.

Authors: Segatto Breno Rodrigues
Published: June 2019

Nesse trabalho busca-se averiguar se o Tracker é confiável na elaboração de laudos periciais, em casos envolvendo vítimas de queda de alturas, quando esses são captados por câmeras de vídeo monitoramento/segurança. Para isso, foram investigados na literatura os dados extraídos do Tracker, principalmente as grandezas físicas como aceleração e velocidade para corpos em queda. Recomenda-se a não utilização do Tracker quando a aceleração da gravidade obtida pela análise das imagens seja consideravelmente destoante do padrão medido na localidade do incidente (precipitação). AbstractIn this work we try to make sure that the Tracker is reliable in the elaboration of forensic reports involving victims from fall from high when these are recorded by security/ monitoring video cameras. For that, was investigated in the literature the data extracted by Tracker, mainly the physics quantities as acceleration and velocity to bodies in fall. We recommend the non use of the Tracker when the acceleration of the gravity obtained by video analyses be considerable different from the standard measured in the incident (precipitation) location.

Authors: Hidayat Alfian , Safitri Purnami
Published: June 2019

Rumput laut sebagai komoditas unggulan daerah NTB belum secara maksimal dikelola dengan baik. Potensi yang besar serta didukung dengan kultur masyarakat pesisir seharusnya mampu menjadikan komoditas rumput laut NTB berdaya saing tinggi. Kondisi permasalahan mendasar diatas kemudian menarik untuk diteliti dengan model Pembangunan Ekonomi Lokal (PEL) sebagai metode dalam melihat permasalahan yang ada. Penelitian ini menggunakan PEL model Hexagon dengan melihat dalam 6 dimensi terkait yakni target group, locational factors, policy focus and synergy, sustainability, governance serta planning. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa pemerintah daerah Provinsi NTB sesungguhnya telah memulai program Pembangunan Ekonomi Lokal, namun belum optimal dalam beberapa program yang telah dilakukan mulai dari pemilihan kelompok target yang disesuaikan dengan kapasitas industrial daerah, penyediaan sarana dan prasarana yang menunjang aktifitas ekonomi, keberhadiran kebijakan dan regulasi yang bersiat pro-environment dan pro-poor untuk mewujudkan prinsip pembangunan berkelanjutan, hingga pada upaya sinergisitas para stakeholders serta upaya monitoring dan evaluasi.Title: Development of Seaweed Commodities in West Nusa Tenggara Using the Hexagon Model for Local Economic DevelopmentSeaweed, one of the competitive commodities in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), has not been well governed. High potential value and coastal community culture are supposed to improve the competitiveness of the seaweed. Those conditions are the background of this research using Local Economic Development (LED) approach to describe the problems. LED has six dimensions of analysis; targeting group, location factors, policy focus and synergy, sustainability, governance and planning. This study found that NTB government has actually begun to implement LED dimension. However, there should be more optimal efforts to implement this program including selection of targeting group, development of infrastructure, pro-environment and pro-poor policy and regulation to support sustainable development, collaboration among stakeholders and monitoring and evaluation.
MENCAPAI KEBERLANJUTAN EKOSISTEM LAUT MELALUI MARINE SPATIAL PLANNING (MSP): MUNGKINKAH?
Authors: Ramadhan Andrian , Salim Wilmar A.
Published: June 2019

Pesisir dan laut telah sejak kala mengalami tekanan aktivitas manusia sehingga mengancam keberlanjutan fungsi-fungsi ekosistem di dalamnya. Seiring dengan berjalannya waktu, perhatian terhadap masalah ini menjadi semakin besar dan melahirkan konsep-konsep keberlanjutan pada wilayah pesisir dan laut seperti Marine Spatial Planning (MSP). Tulisan berikut mengeksplorasi konsepsi MSP dan hambatan yang dihadapi dalam tinjauan prosedur perencanaan. Metode yang digunakan adalah systematic review dalam rangka mengidentifikasi, mengevaluasi dan menginterpretasi berbagai literatur atau hasil kajian terkait. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan adanya problematika empiris untuk diimplementasikan dalam tataran praktis. Idealisme MSP yang menggabungkan pendekatan komprehensif dan partisipatif akan menghadapi berbagai rintangan mulai dari ketiadaan data dan informasi, terbatasnya pengetahuan, keterikatan terhadap nilai dan budaya, sampai dengan isu dominasi kekuasaan atas suatu perencanaan yang bersifat kolaboratif. Penulis berargumentasi bahwa perencana perlu memberikan perhatian terhadap kekuasaan dan mampu mengontrol kekuasaan tersebut. Hal ini diperlukan agar kelemahan konsep MSP dapat tertutup dengan keberpihakan kekuasaan terhadap isuisu keberlanjutan. Title: Achieving Marine Ecosystem Sustainability Through Marine Spatial Planning (MSP): Is it possible?Since a long time ago, the coast and the sea have undergone hard pressure from human activities that threaten the sustainability of the ecosystem functions. As time goes by, the attention to this problem becomes greater and creates sustainability concepts in coastal and marine areas such as MSP. The following article explores MSP conceptions and its theoretical problems by reviewing the planning procedures. The method used in this study is a systematic review in order to identify, evaluate and interpret various literatures or results of related studies. The results indicate a theoretical weakness to be implemented. The idealism of MSP which combines a comprehensive and participatory approach will face various obstacles starting from the absence of data and information, limited knowledge, attachment to value   and culture, to the issue of domination of power over a collaborative plan. I argues that planners need to pay attention to power and take control of it. This is necessary so that the weakness of the MSP concept can be covered by the alignment of power towards sustainability issues.
ANALISIS NILAI MANFAAT DAN KERUGIAN DARI PEMANFAATAN EKOSISTEM MANGROVE DI PULAU TANAKEKE, SULAWESI SELATAN
Authors: Anhar Fibrianis Puspita , Hidayat Aceng , Ekayani Meti
Published: June 2019

Pada tahun 1980an, Pulau Tanakeke memiliki kawasan ekosistem mangrove seluas kurang lebih 1.770 hektar. Namun, dalam kurun 1980an-2000an, luasan tersebut berkurang hingga 60 persen akibat dari pemanfaatan yang tidak terkendali oleh masyarakat sehingga terjadi perubahan lingkungan. Tulisan ini bertujuan mengkaji posisi sumber daya mangrove terhadap pengelolaan saat ini dengan mengestimasi nilai manfaat dan kerugian yang diterima masyarakat dari adanya pemanfaatan mangrove. Pengumpulan data primer dilakukan melalui metode survei dengan 40 responden pemanfaat mangrove. Analisis data menggunakan teknik valuasi ekonomi sumber daya alam dan lingkungan. Hasil analisis yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa nilai manfaat ekonomi ekosistem mangrove masih lebih besar dibandingkan dengan nilai kerugian yang timbul. Hasil analisis tersebut berimplikasi pada dua hal: 1) yaitu di satu sisi membuktikan bahwa ekosistem mangrove di Pulau Tanakeke memberikan kontribusi ekonomi yang cukup besar bagi masyarakat, 2) tetapi di sisi lain, nilai manfaat yang cukup besar tersebut dapat menjadi insentif bagi masyarakat untuk semakin ekspansif mengeksploitasi ekosistem mangrove sehingga dapat menjadi peluang ancaman bagi kelestarian ekosistem mangrove di Pulau Tanakeke apabila tidak dikelola dengan seksama.Title: Analysis of Benefits and Losses Value of Mangrove Ecosystem Uses in Tanakeke Island, South SulawesiIn the 1980s, Tanakeke Island had around 1,770 hectares of mangrove area. However, within a period of time 1980s-2000s, this area has reduced nearly 60 percent due to uncontrolled utilization by community resulting in environmental changes. This study aims to examine the position of mangrove resource towards existing management by estimating benefits and losses of mangrove utilization. Primary data were collected through a survey from 40 respondents of mangrove beneficiaries. Data were analysed using the resource and enviromental economic valuation techniques. The results indicate that the total economic value of mangrove ecosystem is greater than the losses value. This finding led to two implications: on one side, it is proved that the mangrove ecosystem in Tanakeke Island gives economic contribution in a considerable amount to the community. However, on the other side, this high value of benefits leads to an increasing exploitation of the mangrove ecosystem. Therefore, this condition could be a threat to the sustainability of mangrove ecosystem in Tanakeke Island if it is not managed carefully
Proposed Mechanisms of Change in Arts-based Psychotherapies
Authors: Gerge Anna , Hawes Jane , Eklöf Lotti , Pedersen Inge Nygaard
Published: June 2019

The effectiveness of the arts-based psychotherapy methods may rely on offering tools for preverbal implicit processing, especially in work with traumatized clients. This can enhance clients’ self-soothing capacities, activate flow experiences in line with positive psychology, and change inner working models through memory reconsolidation. The arts-based psychotherapies offer expanded Windows of Tolerance through dual awareness, and concretizes the psychotherapist’s care in the therapeutic relationship, in line with psychodynamic psychotherapy. These methods activate the innate human ability to express and experience creativity, including beauty and awe. The arts in therapy offer a creative space of play where a new reality may be constructed and shared. The interventions are proposed to offer more than plain cognitive restructuring and behaviour activation (although they may lead to additional changes in these parameters). The clinical usefulness of the arts-based methods is reflected in relation to traumatized clients’ opinions of what has helped them. The potentially effective mechanisms in the arts-based psychotherapies ought to be further investigated in clinical work and research processes, thus, promoting the methods’ abilities to enhance clients’ well-being and change capability.

Published: June 2019

A produção de tabaco tem grande importância econômica e configura uma importante fonte de renda para os agricultores. Estes apresentam altíssima dependência econômica da atividade, porém grande parte demonstra interesse em abandoná-la. Uma das suas opções é a adesão à diversificação de cultivos e criações. Por outro lado, existem agricultores que optam pelo aprofundamento nessa cadeia.  Observando o território Centro Sul/RS, os projetos de especialização e de diversificação entram em conflito produzindo um gradiente dentro do processo de recampesinização/descampesinização. Nesse sentido, este trabalho tem como objetivo caracterizar os projetos sociais de especialização e de diversificação e analisar a dinâmicas que regem a escolha dos fumicultores por especializar ou diversificar. Os métodos utilizados foram análise de um banco de dados e observação participante realizada durante um período de seis meses. Como resultados deste estudo foi possível constatar que o projeto de especialização apresenta produtores altamente dependentes do tabaco, que o produzem há cerca de vinte anos e vivem em pequenas propriedades; enquanto o projeto de diversificação ainda tem pouca expressividade na região devido principalmente aos altos valores da unidade de tabaco, atrelado a um limitado acesso a assistência técnica e às dificuldades de comercialização de outros produtos, primários ou processados.
Tipos de resistencia de la ganadería familiar en el noroeste uruguayo
Authors: Rossi Rodríguez Virginia , Filardo Veronica , Chia Eduardo
Published: June 2019

A pesar del avance del capitalismo agrario sobre los pastizales pampeanos, aún la mayoría de los agricultores familiares de Uruguay son productores ganaderos, dedicados a la cria mixta de bovinos y ovinos. En el marco de una investigación mayor sobre prácticas de resistencia de la agricultura familiar, se utilizaron conceptos de la obra de Bourdieu, tales como el sentido práctico y el habitus campesino, para analizar las estrategias de resistencia de los agricultores familiares en el noroeste de Uruguay. Un estudio de tipo etnográfico de dieciséis familias ganaderas, a traves del “Enfoque Global de las Explotaciones Agrícolas” y relatos de vida de las familias, permitió identificar las estrategias  (económicas, educativas, sucesorias y simbólicas), y tipificar las resistencias de estos ganaderos familiares. Se discute el papel de las condiciones endógenas y exógenas en los objetivos de las familias y en las prácticas y estrategias generadas.
De la agricultura familiar campesina a las microempresas de monocultivo. Reestructura socio-territorial en la Sierra norte del Ecuador.
Authors: Lechon Sanchez Luis Wilson , Chicaiza Jenny
Published: June 2019

En las comunidades rurales de las Parroquia González Suárez y Ayora de las Provincia de Imbabura y Pichincha, respectivamente, gran cantidad de asalariados que lograron acumular capital han decidido convertirse en microempresarios de monocultivos de frutillas. Este cambio en el uso de la tierra ha ocasionado una reestructuración socioterritorial provocando en las comunidades; impactos ambientales, socioculturales y económicos, generado así, un conjunto de tensiones sobre la visión de la tierra, el territorio y los recursos naturales. Esto ha abierto reflexiones sobre la productividad y la ganancia, sobre la práctica de valores comunitarios y el sentido de la agricultura familiar campesina para las comunidades indígenas. Y, considerando que el monocultivo tiene afectaciones irreversibles en la tierra, ponen en el debate la necesidad apremiante de incorporar en la agenda de las organizaciones y del movimiento indígena la exigencia de la construcción de territorios rurales sostenibles, en conjunto con el Estado y las autoridades locales.

RESUMEN

Las MDR (Mesas de Desarrollo Rural) fueron creadas en Uruguay en 2011, en el marco de un proceso de descentralización de las acciones del MGAP (Ministerio de Ganadería, Agricultura y Pesca). Basada en un enfoque de desarrollo rural territorial y participativo, esa política pública busca consolidar y favorecer la permanencia de la producción familiar en los territorios rurales del país. El objetivo del artículo es caracterizar el funcionamiento y la contribución territorial de las MDR en tres departamentos (Río Negro, Rivera y Salto). La metodología consistió en aplicar una guía de análisis en las MDR para cada departamento mediante entrevistas individuales y colectivas, complementadas por revisión de documentos y bibliografía. Los resultados muestran que la política permitió pasar de un tratamiento sectorial a un enfoque intersectorial y territorial, donde las demandas por servicios básicos sociales son muy importantes y están siempre presentes, superando a los requerimientos técnico-productivos. Más allá de la fuerte dependencia de la coordinación del MGAP, en cada territorio, las MDR fortalecieron la institucionalidad local, aumentando el papel de las organizaciones de la agricultura familiar en la consolidación de las estrategias de los productores y asalariados.
Parenting Patterns in Turkey: The associations with Academic Achievement and Self-Esteem
Authors: Gözü Hamide
Published: June 2019

Family parenting patterns and child developmental
outcomes have been examined in several studies in Western countries. Research
shows mixed results on whether mothers and fathers under the same roof display
congruent or incongruent parenting styles. Moreover, previous research shows
that being raised by two authoritative parents is linked with the most positive
outcomes. However, there is no study examining either family parenting patterns
in non-Western cultures or whether such family parenting patterns would differ
based on the child’s gender. Thus, the current study aimed to identify family
parenting patterns for daughters and sons in Turkey, as well as how these
family parenting patterns were linked to academic achievement and self-esteem.
The sample included 195 Turkish undergraduate students (95 male and 100
female). The participants reported perceived maternal and paternal parenting
styles using Buri’s Parental Authority Scale, their self-esteem using Rosenberg’s
Self-esteem Scale, and academic achievement. Two-step cluster analysis revealed
four different clusters; two clusters for females and two clusters for males.
The clusters for females are congruent authoritative pattern and congruent
authoritarian pattern while the clusters for males are congruent authoritative
pattern and congruent permissive pattern. Two separate ANCOVAs showed that
among same-gender groups, there was no significant difference either in college
GPA or in self-esteem scores of participants. These findings suggest that
authoritarian parenting might not be negatively associated with developmental
outcome in Turkey. The current study’s strengths and limitations and the
implications for future research are discussed.

Published: June 2019

Güncel eğitim reformları ve matematik eğitimcileri
matematiksel ispatların ana okuldan lise son sınıfa kadar matematik eğitiminin
önemli bir parçası olması gerektiğini savunurlar. Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı
tarafından yayınlanan yeni öğretim programı ile de matematiksel ispatların
önemi vurgulanmış ve matematiksel ispatlara tüm matematik sınıflarında yer
verilmesi önerilmiştir. Bu araştırmada 7.sınıf öğrencilerinin dörtgenler
konusundaki ispat seviyelerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın
bulgularına göre öğrencilerin verilen matematiksel ifadeleri ispatlarken argüman
oluşturmada zorlandıkları tespit edilmiştir. Sunulan matematiksel ifadeler için
argüman geliştirebilen öğrencilerin ise, argümanları incelendiğinde bu
argümanların deneysel düzeyde argümanlar olduğu görülmüştür. Doğru matematiksel
ifadeler için araştırmacılar tarafından çeşitli düzeylerde hazırlanmış
argümanların incelenmesi aşamasında ise, öğrencilerin çoğunlukla deneysel
düzeydeki argümanları en ikna edici buldukları görülmüştür.  Yanlış olan matematiksel ifadenin ispatında
ise öğrencilerin çoğunun karşıt örnek oluşturabildiği gözlemlenmiştir.
