Revealing Masculinity in BTS’s Music: Between Self Identity and Market Desire
Authors: Nurnisya Frizki Yulianti , Hasna Sofia
Published: August 2023

Previous studies assessed that the Korean Wave, including the music group Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTS), had campaigned for a different side of masculinity. BTS, through their music, seems to carry the concept of a "female-friendly model of masculinity". This feminine masculine identity is attached to BTS members and creates a typical stereotype of Asian men in the United States. This study aims to determine the representation of masculinity displayed by the boy group BTS in their video clips from 2013 to 2021 and observe at least 33 video clips. The researcher observed the symbol representation in the video clip with a Critical Discourse Analysis from Norman Fairclough and then conducted a thematic analysis by Braun and Clarke. The results showed a change in the representation of masculinity throughout their careers. This change in representation is also a form of compromise and negotiation between BTS as artists and the music industry's demands at an international level
Reconstruction of Communicative Rationality: A Study on the Digital Mass Media Society in Indonesia
Authors: Priadi Ribut , Thariq Muhammad
Published: August 2023

This study examined the cognitive response of Indonesian society (namely, the people who use digital mass media) to the narratives built by digital mass media. Establishing an argumentative “communication” relationship between digital mass media and society is necessary because the narratives built by digital mass media tend to represent particular interests. Therefore, between the two, an argumentative “communication” relationship is needed to reach a consensus through the expression of rational language. This relationship actually forms a communicative society based on the value of emancipatory critical rationality to achieve "consensus". Thus, the problem posed in this study, ‘How is the cognitive response and form of digital society in Indonesia within the scope of the digital mass media era?’ To answer that question this study used a qualitative approach by conducting a sociological study of the narratives in the digital mass media user community, especially convergence mass media (kompas.com, tempo.co, and tribunnews.com). While the technique of the validity test of the narrative data of people who use digital mass media uses was the triangulation technique of sources and theories. This study found that digital society can create and produce imaginative spaces based on its own laws and culture. Its awareness of the digital mass media narrative is solid and shifts its passive role as an object to be ‘interactive’ (itself as a subject) with mass media. Meanwhile, the relationship between digital society and communication technology has three options, namely, first, digital society positions itself as technology; second, humanize technology as itself; and third, dialectically compromising the potential of humanity and technology.

Authors: Sereshki Mahnaz Taleb , Zanjireh Morteza Mohammadi , Bahaghighat Mahdi
Published: August 2023

Text mining is an intriguing area of research, considering there is an abundance of text across the Internet and in social medias. Nevertheless outliers pose a challenge for textual data processing. The ability to identify this sort of irrelevant input is consequently crucial in developing high-performance models. In this paper, a novel unsupervised method for identifying outliers in text data is proposed. In order to spot outliers, we concentrate on the degree of similarity between any two documents and the density of related documents that might support integrated clustering throughout processing. To compare the e ectiveness of our proposed approach with alternative classification techniques, we performed a number of experiments on a real dataset. Experimental findings demonstrate that the suggested model can obtain accuracy greater than 98% and performs better than the other existing algorithms.

Authors: Schiopu Cristina Gabriela , Gavril Radu Sebastian , Ștefănescu Cristinel , Eșanu Irina Mihaela , Mitu Florin
Published: August 2023

Modern medicine tends to evolve towards interdiciplinary collaboration and case management. A strong example in that direction is represented by neurogastroenterology, a field that developed arround the concept of gut-brain axis. Still, research in this field determend the multisystemic role of the gut microbiome, beyond it's regulatory function within the gut-brain axis.

The purpose of this review is to focus on the current knowledge in medical literature regarding gut microbiome and its possible invovlvement in medical areas, such as cardiology, rheumatology, pneumology, neurology and psychiatry, bringing these domains closer then ever. We researched Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed and Wiley Library for articles containing the following key words: “microbiota”, “intestinal bacteria”, “disbiosis”, “probiotics”, “prebiotics”, “rheumatology”, “cardiology”, “diabetes”, “metabolic disease”, “clinical medicine” “cardiology”, “cardiovascular”. Articles were selected by number of acceses, citations, results and by being published between 2015 and 2023. Both animal and clinical studies were considered as well as literature reviews and systematic reviews.

Although many studies are still in preclinical phase, and some of them still have uneven results, the road for research has contured theories, especially regarding physiologic and pathophysiologic functions that involve the microbiome and have multisystemic consequences.

Conclusions. The gut microbiome may be the key of understanding multi-organic pathophysiologic mechanisms and may have the potential to act as a preventive clinical instrument and raising the effectiveness of therapeutic management in multiple medical fields, not only in gastroenterology and neuropsychiatry.
Adaptive Fault Locator for High-Voltage Transmission Lines Based on the Estimation of Power System Model Parameters
Authors: Zalitis I. , Dolgicers A. , Kozadajevs J. , Berkolds J.
Published: August 2023

This paper presents an adaptive transmission line fault location method, which incorporates fault location devices at both line ends and utilises data import from a supervisory control and data acquisition system without strictly requiring data synchronisation. The developed method aims at achieving a higher degree of robustness, adaptiveness and accuracy. The adaptiveness is achieved by dynamic updating of mathematical models used on the basis of network-wide information, such as data on the state of circuit-breakers and apparent power at load and generation nodes. The robustness and accuracy are enhanced by incorporating two stages of identification of model parameters with the goal of reducing the decision variable space for the stage identifying fault parameters. Furthermore, in addition to utilisation of all measurements available at a particular substation, the developed method partially employs the measurements from the other end of the line by means of result cross-checks, but does not require a full data set, unlike deterministic-model-based methods. An optimisation-based approach, redundancy on the basis of extended measurement set, and cross-checks reduce the risk of fault location errors due to measurement errors or “voids” in the data available. Testing of the developed method demonstrates its accuracy and robustness in a wide range of pre-fault and fault regime scenarios, even when considering various pre-fault contingencies.
Methodology for the measurement and 3D modelling of cultural heritage: a case study of the Monument to the Polish Diaspora Bond with the Homeland
Authors: Suchocki Czesław , Okrój Sebastian , Błaszczak-Bąk Wioleta
Published: August 2023

The documentation of cultural heritage objects requires a special approach, as does the collection of materials describing a monument over a period of time. With the development of measurement and information technologies, such documentation can be supplemented by a digital model of the object, a 3D visualization in a computer environment, or a miniature, scaled 3D printout. This paper presents a methodology for developing the 3D documentation of the Monument to the Polish Diaspora Bond with the Homeland, a sculpture located in Koszalin, Poland. In the study, terrestrial laser scanning supplemented with photos was used for non-invasive measurements, and existing free software was used to generate a 3D model. The results of the study can supplement the technical documentation of an object so as to preserve its characteristic features and ease the conservation of monuments. The proposed approach to modelling 3D monuments can be used to create HBIM documentation.
Effects of Employee Performance Management on Productivity of Safaricom
Authors: Stella Lekaana  , Dr. Michel Mutabazi
Published: August 2023

The issue of employee performance management and productivity has been studied for a very long time, and several approaches have been used to this subject. However, very few studies were done at Safaricom, the giant telecommunication company in Kenya. The main objective of this study was to find out the effects of employee performance management on the productivity of Safaricom. The specific objectives were to find out how Safaricom motivates employees to perform better, to determine how employee engagement affects productivity, to examine how rewards and recognition practices influence the engagement of employees at Safaricom, to find out how Safaricom manages the employee appraisal, and how employees contribute to the quality of goods and services in Safaricom. This was a cross-sectional study. The researchers conveniently chose Karen Centre, Galleria Mall, and Ongata Rongai customer service centres. Thirty employees from these branches were chosen using stratified and simple random sampling methods to participate in the study. Data were collected using the self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics with weighted averages were computed during data analysis. The results showed that employee performance management strategies have a significant effect on productivity. The study recommends that Safaricom should keep rewarding employees who meet organisational expectations to increase the percentage of employees who are satisfied, and the managers and supervisors should treat the employees more as human persons than tools of productivity. The employees who were not fully engaged should work on this aspect as it affects productivity. Similar studies could be conducted in other telecommunications companies.

Authors: Olasode, Esther Modupe  , Okwu, Andy T  , Lawal, Esther O
Published: August 2023

Providing people with a good standard of living through food consumption, businesses with employment opportunities, and the government with tax revenue through product exports, as well as creating an environment that is favorable for the economy to flourish, determines how well the agricultural sector is performing. Due to insufficient funding, excessive interest rates, and poor policy measures, the agricultural sector's performance continues to suffer. Therefore from 1989 to 2019, the study examined the impact of credit finance on agricultural performance in Nigeria. An ex-post facto research design was used in the study. The study made use of Time series data. The data were obtained from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin. The study employed descriptive statistics, unit root test, co-integration, bound test, and Auto regressive Distributed lag models, and inferences were made at 5 percent significant level. The study showed that Deposit money banks credit to the Agricultural sector was positively related and significant to agricultural sector performance in Nigeria (β=0.759; P=0.004), while government expenditure on agriculture was positively related and significant to agricultural sector performance in Nigeria (β=0.598; P=0.0002) and interest rate posits a positive but insignificant effect on agricultural sector performance in Nigeria (β=0.1507, P=0.580) within the observed period. The study concluded that deposit money banks' credit to the agricultural sector and government expenditure on the agricultural sector has positively influenced agricultural sector performance, while interest rate on deposit money banks' credit does not have a significant effect on agricultural sector performance. It was recommended that Commercial banks should establish a panel examining committee to make sure that the money distributed is rigorously used for its intended purpose and is not diverted in any way. The delay and strict requirements in assessing deposit money banks' credit and facilities should be overhauled.
Nigeria’s Human Capital Migration and the Socio-economic Implications
Authors: Deborah Ugochi  , Dr. Agba, Emeka Augustine  , Dr. Agbebaku Philip Enahoro
Published: August 2023

This research presents the implications of human emigration from Nigeria and the socio-economic development implications for the Nigerian Economy. Migration, which is a form of geographic mobility involving a permanent or semi-permanent change of usual residence within 10 years, is rapidly on the increase worldwide. This research intends to undertake further exposition of all the activities of the incessant migration and brain drain, which impacts adversely on needed man-power for economic development in Nigeria. The work is anchored on push-pull theories of migration. Push-pull theory is an important theoretical approach that is often used to understand human capital migration. The theory proposes that there are factors responsible for the decisions of migrants to move from their places of origin to new destinations. In Nigeria, there are environmental, social, political, demographic, and economic factors that influence people to move from one geographical location to the other. Since the post-colonial era, Nigeria has been experiencing missed opportunities, low development, and frustrated hope. The research thus concluded that the failure of governance is seen in poor socio-economic performance, causing suffering and unfulfilled expectations leading to political instability, conflict, insurgency, etc. These conditions have led to massive migration of trained professionals like doctors, nurses, engineers, and academics to developed countries. To this extent, the following recommendations were made:

Creation of job opportunities,

Provision of quality educational opportunities,

Provision of local incentives,

Provision of conducive environment for workers,

Funding of tertiary institutions,

Accountability in governance, amongst others.

Authors: Andi Puspa Sari Idris  , Irfani Baga  , Sri Wahidah  , Patang
Published: August 2023

This study aims to determine the effect of giving probiotics to water on the value of Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), feed efficiency, and water quality of tilapia (Oreochromus niloticus) aquaculture. This is an experimental research with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments tried were:

Treatment K: Without Probiotics,

Treatment A: given probiotics at a dose of 1 ppm,

Treatment B: given probiotics at a dose of 1.5 ppm, and

Treatment D: given probiotics at a dose of 2 ppm

The results showed that the water-given probiotics had an effect on the FCR value of the feed and the feed efficiency of tilapia, where the higher the dose of probiotics given, the smaller the FCR value, likewise with the value of feed efficiency, where the higher the dose of probiotics in tilapia rearing water, the higher the value of feed efficiency. The results of water quality measurements, such as temperature, pH, and ammonia, all of these water quality parameters still meet the requirements for the growth of tilapia.

Construcción de una propuesta de pensamiento crítico entre agenciamientos contradictorios en Castilla La Nueva y Guamal (Meta-Colombia) - Consideraciones metodológicas
Authors: Quintana Arias Ronald Fernando
Published: August 2023

Con el objetivo de generar una propuesta del pensamiento crítico en Castilla La Nueva y Guamal (Meta-Colombia) que permita, entre otros, identificar agenciamientos contradictorios en el territorio que justifiquen una investigación doctoral en estudios sociales, se realiza una metodología experimental de estudios sociales que combina una reconstrucción histórica de fenómenos sociales junto con análisis situacionales y cartografías de lo cotidiano, a través de 4 momentos que configuran un entrelazamiento entre las aproximaciones metodológicas. Como resultado, se explicita el marco metodológico de un estudio de caso extendido desde la identidad narrativa y la dimensión biopolítica de los estudios sociales críticos, de los que emergen las categorías, la pregunta y el objetivo de investigación. Se concluye que las categorías emergentes de vida cotidiana, biopolítica, bioeconomía, y tierra (territorio), a través de un análisis comparativo con el biopoder, permiten la convergencia de las aristas del poliedro de inteligibilidad dentro de la serie crítica-ficción-experimentación propias del Doctorado en estudios sociales de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas.

Published: August 2023

Las medidas para mitigar el contagio de la enfermedad del coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) generaron modificación en el comportamiento humano. En este contexto, el objetivo de la siguiente investigación es examinar la incidencia que tuvo el COVID-19 sobre el ahorro de energía eléctrica en los hogares de la ciudad de Loja durante la pandemia. Para lo cual, se realizó una encuesta, la misma que fue aplicada a 387 hogares de la ciudad para conocer el comportamiento ambiental que mantuvieron durante la pandemia. Posteriormente, se procesó la información mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales por mínimos cuadrados parciales (PLS-SEM, por sus siglas en inglés). Se validó el modelo de medida y estructural para verificar la consistencia de los resultados e hipótesis de estudio. Los resultados encontrados revelan que la COVID-19 está relacionada de forma negativa con el ahorro de energía eléctrica, es decir, no aumentó el ahorro de energía eléctrica, por el contrario, este disminuyó. Adicionalmente, otros factores, asociados a la conciencia ambiental y las normas sociales, inciden en el ahorro de energía eléctrica. De los resultados encontrados se derivan algunas implicaciones de política orientadas a mejorar las prácticas ambientales de ahorro de energía eléctrica para impulsar la sostenibilidad ambiental.

The aim was to report the case of a patient with REM sleep behavior disorder, unresponsive to standard treatment and with complete control of the condition after association of amantadine. Female patient, 45 years old, with systemic arterial hypertension and hypothyroidism, referred to neurological care, reporting frequent episodes of nocturnal agitation in the first hours of sleep, with walking and vocalization, waking up easily if called. She complains of drowsiness and anxiety, secondary to the impact of the RBD on her personal life. She mentions previous attempts at drug treatment with benzodiazepines (Bromazepam and Clonazepam), Zolpidem and Trazodone, all without clinical improvement, with Quetiapine being introduced at a low dose (not yet tried) 25mg, with a therapeutic target of 50mg with partial improvement only with 25mg. When trying 50mg, presenting a worsening of the picture. In a new follow-up, therapy with Amantadine 50 mg/day associated with Quetiapine 25 mg/day was started. The patient returned reporting a significant improvement in the condition, less frequent episodes associated with reduced nocturnal movement. After adaptation of the combined therapy, with adjustments in the dose of Amantadine, an increase of 50mg every 14 days up to 200 mg/day, with the possibility of using quetiapine 50mg (balance between the drugs), the patient evolved stable, with a great improvement in the quality of life and absence of new episodes of the sleep disorder.

Las mediciones reológicas se realizaron con un esfuerzo cortante controlado y los experimentos de cizallamiento en estado estacionario con un intervalo de razón de corte (γ) de 0.01 – 100 s-1. Se determinó el comportamiento del fluido utilizando la ecuación de Herschel-Bulkley. Los resultados mostraron que la mezcla del zumo de maracuyá sin (0%) y con adición de fibra de 6.25 y12.5%, mostraron un comportamiento pseudoplástico (n < 1). El modelo Herschel-Bulkley tuvo un R2 entre 0.961 a 0.996. El índice de consistencia (K) se incrementó conforme se incrementó la concentración de fibra y se redujo con el incremento de la temperatura, sin embargo, el esfuerzo de corte inicial (σ0) se incrementó tanto con el incremento de la concentración de fibra y temperatura. El comportamiento de las curvas de zumos de maracuyá y los valores de los parámetros reológicos durante las pruebas en estado estacionario fueron afectados con el incremento de la concentración de fibra y temperatura.
Trade and economic cooperation between the EU and post-Soviet states in the context of the Eastern Partnership program: the case of Azerbaijan and Georgia
Authors: Allahverdiyev Emil , Mustafayev Tofig
Published: August 2023

The Eastern Partnership (EAP) program of the European Union is one of the key instruments of the EU's foreign policy for building relations with six post-Soviet states of Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus, namely Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. This initiative contributes to the intensification of political, trade and economic ties between the Union and the above-mentioned countries. In this regard, for a more in-depth analysis of the dynamics of relations between the EU and the member states of the Eastern Partnership, both at the bilateral and multilateral levels, it seems necessary to conduct a study. Subject of research: trade and economic cooperation between the EU and post-Soviet states in the context of the Eastern Partnership program: the case of Azerbaijan and Georgia. The object of the study: the foreign economic policy of the European Union in the eastern direction in the XXI century. The purpose of the study is to identify the consequences of the foreign economic policy of the European Union within the framework of the Eastern Partnership on the economies of Azerbaijan and Georgia, taking into account their interaction with the Russian Federation.The relevance of this work is due to the close trade and economic cooperation and interaction of the post-Soviet states of the South Caucasus of Azerbaijan and Georgia with the European Union and the Russian Federation at the present stage. The scientific novelty of the work is explained by the fact that Russian historiography has not yet sufficiently studied the latest trends related to the EU Eastern Partnership program against the background of the current geopolitical situation in the world. If the ultimate goal of the Eastern Partnership program is transformed into EU membership, this region will turn into a zone of rivalry between the EU and the Russian Federation, which will create not only economic, but also political risks for the participating countries.
Existential and psychological grounds of criminal behavior of the heroes of Mikhail Lermontov and Fyodor Dostoevsky
Authors: Mysovskikh Lev Olegovich
Published: August 2023

In the article, through the prism of the philosophy of existentialism and social psychology, the prerequisites of the criminal behavior of the main characters of the novels by Mikhail Lermontov "Hero of Our Time" and Fyodor Dostoevsky "Crime and Punishment" – Grigory Pechorin and Rodion Raskolnikov are investigated. The author of the article claims that the reasons for the criminal behavior of both Pechorin and Raskolnikov are intrapersonal. However, the personal characteristics of an individual are formed under the influence of the society in which he exists, which is demonstrated by the example of the main characters of the novels of Lermontov and Dostoevsky. Thus, the article clearly shows the main principle of the philosophy of existentialism in action: the existence of a person precedes his essence.   The author of the article comes to the conclusion that Pechorin and Raskolnikov have many similar character traits, and the main difference between them lies in the social status of the characters. In both novels, the writers decry the vices of Russian class society. The author of the article summarizes that from the point of view of religious existentialism, Pechorin's fate is much more gloomy than Raskolnikov's fate, since Pechorin's soul is taken away by an all-consuming nothingness, while Raskolnikov's soul gets a chance for salvation. Dostoevsky's heroes always have hope, because God shows them the way by which a person can come to grace. This is where the main difference between Lermontov and Dostoevsky lies.
The image of the grove as a means of expressing the author 's axiological concept in the lyrics of Z. Dudina
Authors: Lyubimov Nikolay Ivanovich
Published: August 2023

This research is connected with the analytical consideration of the system of poetic images of a natural philosophical orientation in modern Mari philosophical lyrics. The aim of the work is to identify the ethnocentric semantic components of the mythopoetic image of the grove in the lyrics of Zoya Dudina and the ways of their artistic embodiment. The research material was the poems included in her collection "Kuanyshym, kuem ӧndal ..." (She was delighted, hugging a birch ...) (2012). The methodology of the research is determined by the structural and semantic analysis of lyrical texts, which allows to identify and describe the main structural components of the poetic image, as well as to understand their interrelationships and semantic organization at the level of the author's axiology. In the article, the author of the study proved that in the lyrics of the Mari poet Zoya Dudina, the multifaceted image of the Mari grove is recreated. In particular, it is presented as part of the divine world, often concretized and given in the form of a sacred tree. The central place in the image of the grove is assigned by the author to the ethnically significant and sacred content and mythopoetics, which does not limit him in the expression of individual creative aspirations, in the assertion of universal values. The grove for the lyrical heroine Zoya Dudina is a symbol of hope, spiritual and moral support, salvation of the soul, as well as the preservation of the Mari people.
Semantic analysis of the words denoting the term "reason" in Persian
Authors: Dousti Niri Zohre Mohammad-Ali , Sheykhi Jolandan Nahid
Published: August 2023

The term "reason" refers not only to linguistics, but also to a number of other sciences, including philosophy and logic. In Russian and Persian there are different words denoting the cause. However, each of them has a specific shade of meaning that distinguishes it from the others. These words include: علت ( ellat), سبب ( sabab), and دلیل ( delilah), the reason, cause, etc. And there are also some cases when it is possible to replace these words, and in some cases it is impossible to replace them with each other. This work is devoted to the semantic properties of Persian words denoting the cause, as well as their relationship with similar Russian words. Here we briefly talk about the words that denote the term "reason" in Persian and their relationship, as well as the difference between them, and also compares them with Russian equivalents. This study will help Russian-speaking students who study Persian in understanding of different Persian words - synonyms, as well as help Russian and Iranian translators to choose an adequate words when translating texts from Russian into Persian and vice versa.
Children Grow by Nature But Are Raised by Nurture: Parental Instruction in Proverbs 22:4–6 for Raising Children in Nigeria
Authors: Uroko Favour
Published: August 2023

This article uses the interpretation of Proverbs 22:4–6 as a lens through which to view traditional Nigerian attitudes about children and early childhood education. Proverbs 22:4–6 insists that children grow by nature but nurturing the child is the job of the parents. The pericope further insists that parents should train up their children by their words and the type of life they live. The aphorisms in the biblical text’s structure are important in analysing the deteriorating state of children’s upbringing in Nigeria. Contextualising the pericope reveals that Nigerian parents are no longer providing moral and spiritual values to their children. Parents have also left most if not all of the responsibility of training up children in the hands of teachers. This study argues that the challenges that Nigerian society is experiencing could be solved if parents start the process of taking up the responsibility of nurturing their children rather than leaving it in the hands of the children’s teachers and peers.

Uganda is well endowed with clay resources; however, comprehensive knowledge about the composition, structure and suitability of these clays for ceramic tile production is lacking. In this study, we provide a comprehensive characterisation of locally sourced clays in Uganda and their suitability for ceramic tile production. In the study, we developed ceramic tiles using feldspar, kaolin, ball clay and sand from four different sites in Uganda. We focused on analysing the surface morphology, crystallographic structure and mineralogical composition of the raw materials. In addition, we examined the mechanical properties of the developed tiles with the different mixture ratios of the clay types. The surface morphology of the raw materials was analysed by using a scanning electron microscope. The structural analysis of the raw clay materials was done using X-ray diffraction. The mineralogical composition of the raw materials was investigated using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The results indicated that the strength and rapture modulus are influenced by the composition of kaolin and feldspar. We concluded that the selected mineral deposits can be used in the production of ceramic tiles in Uganda.
PENGUJIAN KUALITAS DAN MUTU IKAN EKONOMIS PENTING KWEE (Carangoides chrysophrys), KEMBUNG (Rastrelligersp) DAN SELAR (Selaroides leptolepis) DI PPP LEMPASING
Authors: Syah Putri Aprilia , Syahputra Fauzi
Published: August 2023

Ikan merupakan komoditi pangan yang mudah mengalami kerusakan (perishable food) karena memiliki kadar air dan protein yang cukup tinggi, sehingga diperlukan penanganan cepat yang baik dan benar dalam mempertahankan mutu ikan sejak setelah penangkapan. Proyek mandiri ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kualitas dan mutu ikan segar yang ada di Pelabuhan Perikanan Pantai (PPP) Lempasing. Kegiatan ini meliputi pengujian organoleptik yang dilakukan dengan memperhatikan kondisi fisik ikan yang meliputi, mata, insang, daging, lendir pada permukaan, testur, dan bau pada ikan yang dilakukan pada pukul 16.00 – 18.00 Wib, hasil pengujian organoleptik dianalisis menggunakan uji Hedonik. Sedangkan pengujian formalin dilakukan dengan menggunakan reagent test kit formalin, yang dilakukan pukul 18.00 – 20.00 Wib. Pengujian kualitas dan mutu ikan dilakukan dengan sampel ikan ekonomis penting yaitu ikan kwee, ikan selar, dan ikan kembung. Hasil dari proyek mandiri untuk pengujian organoletik menunjukan bahwa dari 15 ikan yang dijual di PPP Lempasing masih dikatakan segar dengan standar > 7 sesuai dengan SNI 2729:2013. Hasil dari pengujian formalin diketaui dari 15 sampel ikan, masih ada yang positif mengandung formalin.

“Another Earth”. The Orphic motif of celestial travel in ancient philosophy
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University, Afonasin Eugene
Published: August 2023

The motif of the journey is characteristic of Orphicism. Orpheus' journey on the Argo and his descending to Hades, the travel of souls to the afterlife and their celestial journey before their subsequent incarnation. These ideas are vividly represented in the Orphic hymns, the Orphic golden tablets and, perhaps most vividly, in Plato's myths in Phaedo, Phaedrus, Gorgias and the State. In trhe paper I consider these myths in the context of ancient philosophical literature, the task of which is to provide a coherent interpretation of the very fluid and not entirely unambiguous pictures that the great Athenian philosopher paints in his imagination. First of all, it concerns such questions as the corporeality or incorporeality of souls, the circumstances of their judgment and the conditions of their subsequent incarnation, details of the topography of the “other earth” and, finally, the discussion about the classes of souls, which were developed in subsequent Platonism.
A Reliabilist Interpretation of Socrates’ Autobiography
Authors:   Ardahan University, Seferoğlu Tonguç
Published: August 2023

This paper aims to offer a novel interpretation of Socrates’ autobiography in the Phaedo 96-102 by using reliabilist epistemology as a heuristic guide to spell out the complex dynamics of the intellectual development of Socrates of the Phaedo. Surprisingly, scholars have mostly focused on the outcomes of Socrates’s scientific investigations, but they neglected the dynamics of the discovery process. The reason why Socrates rejected many earlier scientific ideas and the way in which he discovered new theories as much significant and noteworthy as those theories. I argue that Socrates’ discovery and implementation of new methods of inquiry meet the epistemic standards of reliabilism that emphasize the reliability of processes involved in belief-formation. I show that Socrates criticized the physicists’ materialistic-mechanistic approach to explain coming-to-be, perishing, and being because of its unreliability. The paper concludes that (a) the concept of reliability is used as a guide to theory choice in Socrates’ autobiography (b) the positive feature of Socrates’ second sailing is its reliability and (c) reliability is the motive behind Socrates’ choice of certain belief-forming processes, namely a priori reasoning, the method of hypothesis, and the theory of Forms, in the search of the cause of coming-to-be, perishing, and being.
Harmony, Order, and Unity in Plato’s Laws
Authors:   New Haven Zen Center, Pasqualoni Anthony Michael
Published: August 2023

In Book X of Plato’s Laws, the motions of the body are contrasted with the changes of the soul. The latter are categorically different from the former. The soul is oriented in time while the body is oriented in space. Despite their differences, soul and body work in unison. When the senses are informed by λόγος, order is perceived and enacted. The coordination of soul and body is most evident in music and dance. A choral dance is a composition in which body and soul and their analogues, space and time, are unified. A city is an analogous composition. The relation between body and soul parallels the relation between a city on the one hand, and its laws, beliefs, and customs on the other. For these reasons, the highest order of a city is its religious order. The religious life of a city integrates time and space as well as soul and body. Religion serves as a binding power that harmonizes the city and its people.
Julian’s Apostates: Conversion to Paganism in the Middle of the Fourth Century
Authors:   Institute of World History RAS, Vedeshkin Mikhail ,   School of Public Policy – RANEPA
Published: August 2023

The article delves into the issue of apostasy among the citizens of the Roman Empire during the brief reign of Julian. It provides an overview of the tactics employed by the emperor to convert his Christian subjects to paganism and evaluates their success across different strata of late Roman society, including the bureaucracy, military, Christian clergy, intellectual elite, and common people. It is concluded that Julian’s efforts at returning the Roman Empire to paganism were far more successful than it has traditionally been thought.
About the "theology" of the early Greek philosophers

This article examines W. Jaeger’s work The theology of the early Greek philosophers: The Gifford Lectures, 1936. We believe that in addition to an extensive introductory article by V. V. Prokopenko, several points should be clarified. The first point is to reveal the ideological context within which this work was created and which it belonged to. The second point is to understand how W. Jaeger views the early Greek philosophers and what picture of early ancient intellectualism he paints. The disclosure of these two moments in unity lets us both to take a fresh look at the early ancient tradition of philosophizing and, to some extent, extrapolate this view by shifting the emphasis from the myth and logos plane to the area where mythopoetics (mythical theology) turns into theopoetics (philosophical theology).
