Toquenitzar el català: la llengua com a bé comú
Authors: Poblet Marta , Casanovas Pompeu
Published: December 2020

This is a short essay on dialogue, culture and identities. In addition to the public good policy adopted by the Catalan Government over the last four decades, it examines the Catalan language from a commons-based perspective. It contends that its survival and evolution in a digital age will mainly depend on the social institutions that can be created to manage it as a commons good. To foster cultural innovation and plurality, against diglossic stances, blockchain technologies could be used by Catalan speakers to create a social community to freely manage their own language.

Application of Fracture Barrier Analysis in Well Stimulation Planning for Upper Baturaja Limestone Formation Based on Well Log & Drill Cutting Data from OBF-01 and OBF-04 Wells, Offshore Southeast Sumatra
Authors: Buntoro Aris , Nurcholis Muhammad , Rahmad Basuki , Lukmana Allen Haryanto , Putradianto Ristiyan Ragil
Published: December 2020

In general, the South Sumatra Regional Stratigraphy of the Baturaja Limestone Formation facies is deposited on the Buildup Carbonate (Reef) and the Limestone Clastic Carbonate of the Baturaja Formation which grows as a buildup reef on the platform in the Basement High (Horst) underneath is the Lemat Formation volcanic deposits. Referring to the facies model in general, the Baturaja Limestone Formation, the depositional environment starts from Shelf Lagoon Open Circulation - Winnowed Edge Sand - Organic Buildup - Fore Slope - Deep Shelf Margin - Open Sea Shelf - Basin, meaning that carbonate is formed starting from pure organic Cabonate Buildup Reef without / a little sludge / mud to the Carbonate Basin where more muddy / mud is present, this condition causes clay minerals to also more and more mix with Terigenous Clastics (Quartz, feldpar). The complexity of the Baturaja Limestone Formation requires fracture barrier analysis associated with well stimulation planning in order to increase oil productivity with the appropriate method.   Fracture barrier fracture analysis is an approach method to determine the depth interval that becomes a barrier in hydraulic fracturing by correlating the results of geomechanical analysis from well log data and mineralogical analysis from drill cuttings data, so that a commonly used well stimulation method can be selected, namely hydraulic fracturing, acidizing, and acid-fracturing.From the ternary diagram plot the XRD (bulk) analysis results show that the distribution of the main minerals (Quartz, Clay, Calcite) is more dominant in the ductile zone, hard to frac category. This shows that all the depth intervals in the OBF-01 and OBF-04 wells are more ductile, and are not recommended for hydraulic fracturing. From the XRD (bulk) analysis, Calcite mineral is more dominant, so for well stimulation work it is recommended to use acidizing or acid-fracturing.

Economic and environmental measures related to the formation of nature reserves as key elements of the ecological network of Ukraine are considered. It is shown that in conditions of prevailing private ownership of land, a significant role is played by the forced alienation of land plots promising for conservation, as well as the establishment of environmental restrictions in land use. At the same time, the needs of the economy in land resources should be balanced with the requirements of environmental protection and biodiversity conservation. The additional benefits of creating conservation areas for the local population, which are associated with the creation of healthier living conditions and improving the quality of life, preventing the degradation of natural resources and reducing their pollution, are emphasized. The essence of spatial organization of the conditions of conservation of biological diversity in Ukraine through the formation of land-use areas of nature reserve fund is determined. An approach to improving the ecological and economic bases of the formation of land use areas of nature reserve fund, in particular, in the ecological network in Ukraine is given.

Published: December 2020

According to Cambridge dictionary, in 2017 the most popular word was Populism. What is Populism? – Is it achievement of our era, or its roots comes from our remote past? According to scientific research, populism existed in ancient Roman period as an ideological political movement known as the Populist Party. It expressed the interests of ordinary people. Today populism is a natural phenomenon of Democratic political regimes. Populist perception is a special democratic component of political culture, that is realized by the population who are involved in political movements. The amplitude of its usage is so diverse that it’s difficult to find an exact scientific definition. Today populism is a main political phenomenon and is mainly used during pre-election periods, political debates and with the purpose of convincing or manipulating consciousness of society. In addition, political leaders often use aggressive national-populist rhetoric.
“GREEK PROJECT” – CLUE TO THE HISTORY OF GEORGIA 50-90-IES OF XVIII CENTURY
Authors:   Doctorate, Natsvaladze Mamuka ,   Sokhumi State University,   Tbilisi, Georgia
Published: December 2020

Global international project of the 70-80-s of the XVIII century envisaging a new distribution of Europe based on the areas of the Ottoman Empire is reviewed in the article. This topic acquires a final feature in a conceptual form in the correspondence between Catherine II and the Emperor of Austria and the Holy Roman Empire Josephus II under the name of "Greek Project". The article is a scientific fragment of a monograph, reviewing the Greek Project in regard of the Caucasus for the first time in historiography. Initially, Soviet historiography strictly separated itself from the Greek Project, since the objective research of the latter would ensure presenting the Russian Empire as an aggressive state. Afterwards, the research of this project was converted into a narrow political framework and presented as a plan to conquer Crimea. The Greek Project can be unequivocally considered as a key to the history of Georgia of 50-80-ies of the XVIII century. A number of studies have shown that numerous problematic questions remain unanswered until the present day without considering the Greek Project. Patience and tolerance shown by the King of Kartli - Kakheti Erekle II towards the Russian intrigues cannot be explained without the Greek Project. Georgia acquires qualitatively different and desired form of all time through the implementation of the Greek Project. The Greek Project is an attempt to create a Christian global political model, a political background that can serve as a precondition for the restoration of a real united Caucasian Home, ensuring a guarantee of irreversible development and security for all royal principalities and khanate in the Caucasus. This is the reason, the state oriented thinker Erekle II, avoids responding with aggression to the permanent intrigues of Russia. Erekle II tries to get involved in this great political game as a sovereign of a full-fledged political entity. Such attitude of Erekle is a guarantee of success for the Imperial Court of St. Petersburg. However, Russia chooses a completely different way - confronting Erekle's benevolent alliance with hostile, imperial sentiments. The main message of these sentiments is that a united Caucasus, independent Georgian kingdoms for Russia is considered to be an anti-Russian phenomenon. This consistent and hostile attitude towards the Caucasus became the reason for the failure of Russian policy - it could neither establish a model of Christian globalization nor neutralize the Ottomans. Therefore, the study and understanding of the referred problem is rather important to determine the directions and priorities of modern political processes.

The development of Ukraine's educational sector, the latest technologies and information space allow teachers to educate the modern personality of the twentieth century. An important stage in the formation of a person, not only as a social being, but also as an educated personality, is the level of his internal incentives, beliefs, and so on. The educational paradigm strives for a reasonable, intellectually advanced society, and therefore aims to implement a key element of teaching and education, by obtaining a competent personality. A competent person is able to think creatively, logically, and fundamentally in unusual life circumstances, has a non-standard vision of ordinary things, and therefore is a harmoniously developed personality. The scientific world has repeatedly emphasized the importance of developing a person's abilities. Psychological science talks about the importance of formation socio-psychological competency among the rising generation, explaining this with the fact that an educated person must have psychological methods of impact on society in such a way as to achieve the highest results in their professional activities. Starting with school education, overcoming internal barriers, and achieving the set goal, the rising generation learns to be a successful personality.

Sarcoma de aplicação felino: Revisão
Authors: Nitrini Andressa
Published: December 2020

Feline injection-site sarcoma (FISS), formerly called post vaccinal sarcoma, is a malignant skin tumor of mesenchymal origin that develops at the sites of vaccination and injection of several drugs for a long time, such as antibiotics, corticosteroids, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. It affects middle-aged animals wherein the time of disease evolution may vary from a few months to 10 years post-injection. Although its pathogenesis remains unclear, the chronic inflammatory process associated with individual genetic characteristics is considered a possible cause. The development of metastasis is relatively rare, which mainly affects the lungs and the liver in about 20% of felines with FISS. Anamnesis, physical examination, laboratory investigation, and imaging tests are essential for its diagnosis. The most effective treatment involves radical surgical excision with wide lateral and deep margins. However, as the recurrence rate after the surgical excision is high, application of adjuvant therapies, such as pre-or postoperative radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and/or immunotherapy is suggested to increase the disease-free period for the survival of the animal. The present study aims to review the clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, as well as preventive aspects of FISS.

Published: December 2020

This article is devoted to the motif of birch trees in the works of Juliusz Słowacki. It presents the importance of trees in the poet’s writing. It draws attention to the relationship between the birch and the image of the grave, death and crying. It shows the musical qualities of birch trees. In Słowacki’s works they are metamorphosing into “God’s harps.” Another important issue considered is speaking nature. Birds, associated with the birch, are viewed as an important element of the landscape. The poet’s writing is dominated by the motif of nightingales singing on birch trees. The birch is linked primarily to the space of the cemetery and that of the forest.
Quarantime
Authors: Irons Rebecca
Published: December 2020

Global lockdowns have resulted in a challenge to our carefully constructed notions of time, the work week and time-space compression. For the past few months, we have been living in ‘Quarantime’. Quarantime moves differently than our daily lived temporalities of routine and order, and forces us to question the intimate relationship that we may have with how we structure our daily lives around a clock and timesheet. This article questions the challenges and opportunities inherent within the disruption of routine intimacies enacted through Quarantime, drawing on case studies of clock time and the work week, and through examining Quarantime’s unique relationship to time-space compression. It will suggest that Quarantime opens up a space for us to question intimate attachments to enforced routine and wide institutionalised concepts of clock time.

A Comparative Study of Sentence Building in Writing Ability Among Students in Indonesia
Authors: Famularsih Sari , Helmy Muhammad Irfan
Published: December 2020

This research focuses on a comparative study of sentence building between the better students (more knowledgeable) and the novice students (less knowledgeable) in writing 1 class. It belongs to qualitative research involving two respondents of the better and the novice students. Three questions emerge in this research related to the dominant sentence types between the better and the novice students, the challenges and strategies in writing. Those questions are (1) What types of sentences dominate the building of the sentence of novice and better students? (2) What are the challenges in writing between novice and better students?, and (3) What are the students’ strategies in writing?.  In order to answer those three research questions, I run two methods of data collection. The first one is email observation, which tries to find an answer to the dominant sentence types of the better and the novice students. The second method is a face-to-face interview to get more in-depth insight and understanding of the challenges and strategies in writing. As a result, the better student surprisingly dominates her paragraph writing assignments with complex sentences that show her advanced writing skills as the effect of her writing practice. Meanwhile, the novice one mostly occupies simple sentences to avoid errors because she has an inadequate practice that exposes her fear. In terms of challenges, this study finds five items, including the complex process of writing, anxiety, and panic, time constraints, grammar, and vocabulary. In the case of writing strategies, the finding reveals four items, such as short writing, frequent writing, dictionary usage, and reading practice.

Vertebral column preparation consists of five steps: muscles and scales separation, immersion in a formaldehyde solution, drying, morphometric measurements, photographing and image editing, and identification of terminology. The results showed that there are morphological differences between Tor tambroides and Tor tambra vertebral column, particularly in the axial vertebrae, posterior vertebrae caudales, and urostylus regions. The pleural costae of Tor tambroides have a posterior curve with the left and right sides interlocking. The lateral Tor tambroides process tends to curve posteriorly, while the Tor tambra tends to round up parallel to the dorsal costae. Tor tambroides tend to have stronger ligaments marked by the absence of a foramen between the hypural. Morphometrically, Tor tambroides tend to have higher centrum ratios (length, width, and height), neural spine, haemalis spine, and costae compared to Tor tambra. The significant difference in morphometric results in observed the axial vertebrae and the posterior vertebrae caudales region. Further research related to the correlation of vertebral column morphology with the environmental condition of these fish is still necessary.

Akasia mangium (Acacia mangium Willd) bukan tumbuhan asli Kalimantan namun sejak puluhan tahun tumbuh berkembang pesat di berbagai wilayah Kalimantan termasuk Kalimantan Timur. Dikenal sebagai tumbuhan yang mampu tumbuh di lahan kritis sehingga pada awal tahun 1990-an dijadikan tanaman  reboisasi sekaligus pengendali alang-alang di wilayah kritis hutan penelitian dan pendidikan Universitas Mulawarman di Bukit Soeharto. Mengherankan, bahwa beberapa tahun taerkhir sebagian praktisi kehutanan dan reklamasi pascatambang merasa gamang menggunakan A. mangium, khawatir jika jenis tersebut akan benar benar menjadi spesies invasif.  Gejala untuk menolak bahkan menghindari  A. mangium sebagai komoditas kehutanan terutama sebagai jenis pengendali lahan kritis mulai meluas. Untuk mengetahui seberapa benar anggapan Acacia mangium sebagai jenis invasif maka dilakukan evaluasi dengan melakukan analisis vegetasi terhadap 3 ha tegakan hutan A. mangium yang ditanam di Bukit Soeharto sebagai uji petik yang saat sekarang telah berumur sekitar 25 tahun. Hasil evaluasi membuktikan bahwa jumlah tanaman per ha (kerapatan) pohon A. mangium menurun (kurang dari jumlah saat ditanam atau sekitar 800 individu/ha). Jumlah yang menurun itupun cenderung mengelompok. Sebagian pohon bahkan ditemukan dalam kondisi mati generasi (standing dead trees). Sementara itu jumlah spesies pohon setempat (local trees species) juga mulai muncul di antara tegakan A.mangium. Dengan demikian terbukti  bahwa A. mngium bukanlah tipe invasif  yang sesungguhnya dan tidak ada alasan utuk menolak penggunaannya sebagai tanaman pengendali lahan kritis selama potensi ancaman terjadinya kebakaran lahan hutan dapat dicegah.

Dalam pembudidayaan tanaman penghasil gaharu masyarakat banyak memanfaatkan anakan alam dan biji, namun sumber benih yang ada belum teruji serta belum dibangun atas dasar kemampuan menghasilkan gaharu sehingga produktivitas gaharu yang dihasilkan belum konsisten. Peningkatan produktivitas gaharu dapat didekati melalui peningkatan kemampuan tanaman merespon serangan dan membentuk gaharu, namun kemampuan setiap tanaman berbeda-beda meskipun dalam jenis yang sama. Oleh karena itu diperlukan teknik kloning agar diperoleh tanaman berkemampuan sama. Kloning tanaman dapat dilakukan melalui perbanyakan vegetatif, salah satu diantaranya adalah dengan teknik sambung. Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk mengetahui keberhasilan teknik perbanyakan sambung pada tanaman penghasil gaharu jenis Gyrinops versteegii. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksperimental dengan tiga perlakuan teknik sambung yaitu sambung atas, samping, dan menyusu. Ulangan berupa pohon asal scion sebanyak lima ulangan dengan setiap ulangan dibuat 4 unit sambungan sehingga total terdapat 60 unit percobaan. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah rata-rata keberhasilan teknik sambungan sebesar 36,67% dengan sambungan menyusu memiliki keberhasilan tertinggi sebesar 65%.

This study aims to determine the natural condition of Non Dipterocarpaceae regeneration. The object of this research are sapling and seedling in secondary forests of HPFU by making 5 transects with length 200 meters where its laid 5 x 5 meters sapling plot and 2 x 2 meter seedling plot systematically each on the right and left side. The transects was made purposively by considering areas that were still natural or had not been planted before. The results showed that regeneration was dominated by shrub habitus at both growth level, Fordia splendidissima (Miq.) Buijsen dominating the sapling level and Psychotria viridiflora Reinw. Ex Blume dominating the seedling level. However, the number of individuals at sapling stage is more bigger than the number of seedling. The Fabaceae and Rubiaceae family are most common in this location. The diversity index value is classified as high with a composition that is almost even but still dominated by several species. By comparing the data before burning from Riswan in 1987 with the current research in the same location, it can be concluded that the regeneration of Non Dipterocarpaceae in HPFU area has decreased and it represent the species degradation after forest fires.

Background: Psychological factors can be associated with allergic disorders. However, no particular personality pattern associated with these disorders has yet been identified. Objectives: This study aimed at comparing the personality profiles of patients with perennial allergic rhinitis and normal controls. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on 50 adult people with persistent allergic rhinitis for at least one year and 50 age- and sex-matched normal controls that completed the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2). A multivariate covariance analysis (MANCOVA) was carried out to discover possible personality differences between the two groups. The data were analyzed by SPSS v. 19 software. Results: The results of the MMPI showed no significant difference between the two groups in the validity scales (P=0.29). The most common modal validity presentation style in both groups was neutral self-presentation. The MANCOVA analysis showed significantly high scores on the hypochondriasis (F=18.13, P<0.005, partial η2 =0.16) and hysteria scales in allergic rhinitis subjects (F=8.68, P=0.04, partial η2 =0.08) compared with normal controls. The most common profiles with high scores in the allergic rhinitis subjects were schizophrenia (52%, P<0.01) and hypochondriasis (50%, P<0.01). These scales emphasized the feelings of isolation and discomfort in allergic people. The frequency of psychasthenia scale, which measures long lasting anxiety, was significantly different between the two groups (40% in allergic rhinitis subjects vs. 10% in normal controls, odds ratio=6 [95%CI 1.9-22.3], P<0.001). Conclusion: The score of psychological health is lower among allergic people than in normal contro
