Neuroendocrine Mechanisms Involved in Male Sexual and Emotional Behavior
Authors: Iovino Michele , Messana Tullio , Iovino Emanuela , De Pergola Giovanni , Guastamacchia Edoardo , Giagulli Vito Angelo , Triggiani Vincenzo
Published: February 2019

Objective:

The aim of this narrative review was to analyze the role played by brain areas, neurohormones and neurotransmitters in the regulation of emotional and sexual behavior in the male.

Methods:

We analyzed the currently available literature dealing with brain structures, neurotransmitters and neurohormones involved in the regulation of emotional and sexual behavior in the male.

Results:

A common brain pathway is involved in these two aspects. The Hippocampus seems to control the signals coming from the external environment, while the amygdala and the hypothalamus control the response to social stimuli. Stimulation of amygdala in the animal models increases sexual performance, while it triggers violent emotional responses. Stimulation of the hypothalamus causes reactions of violent anger and increases sexual activity. Catecholaminergic stimulation of the amygdala and hypothalamus increases emotional and sexual behavior, while serotonin plays an inhibitory role. Cholinergic inhibition leads to a suppression of copulatory activity, while the animal becomes hyperemotive. Opioids, such as β-endorphin and met-enkephalin, reduce copulatory activity and induce impotence. Gonadal steroid hormones, such as estrogen in female and testosterone in male, which play a major role in the control of sexual behavior and gender difference have been highlighted in this review. Vasopressin, oxytocin and their receptors are expressed in high density in the “social behavior neural network” and play a role as signal system controlling social behavior. Finally, the neuropeptide kisspeptin and its receptors, located in the limbic structures, mediate olfactory control of the gonadotropic axis.

Conclusion:

Further studies are needed to evaluate possible implications in the treatment of psychosexual and reproductive disorders.
Quality of Service in Wireless Sensor Networks: Imperatives and Challenges
Authors: Kumar Jitendra , Rishiwal Vinay , Ansari Mohammad Izharul
Published: February 2019

:

A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an effective sensing technology that is used to replicate
the human capability of sensing, collecting, computing, processing and transmitting the data
that is collected from a very large area. In recent past, sensor technology has shown tremendous development
in the field of environment & health monitoring, military surveillance, vehicle tracking,
and detection. The participating sensor nodes are prone to failure because of limited resources. The
topology of the networks is highly dynamic in nature because of frequent failure of the sensor nodes.
The Quality of Service support to highly dynamic networks is one of the challenging tasks. The dynamic
nature, unpredictable topology, the demand of miniature size of the devices, tiny size of sensors
and limited resources attract the researchers towards the designing of QoS aware protocols. This
paper has discussed the architecture, applications, life cycle and types of WSN. Further, various QoS
protocols, their limitations, and challenges have also been discussed. Further, this paper presents the
most important open issues and challenges in providing QoSs provisioning to the WSN as QoS routing,
energy consumption, bandwidth utilization, security, and mobility. This comprehensive review
surely helps the researchers to find the new existing challenges and also help them to design new research
problems for their future work.

Published: February 2019

Polyaniline supported palladium catalyst was applied in the reductive degradation of organic
dyes such as Methylene Blue, Rhodamine B, and Methyl Orange in presence of sodium borohydride
as an environmental-friendly approach. Role of pH, catalyst amount, and catalyst support were investigated
thoroughly to achieve complete and efficient degradation within few minutes under ambient
condition. Heterogeneous nature of the catalyst allowed easy recovery by centrifugation and the catalyst
was recycled for five cycles with slightly reduced activity. Recovered catalyst was characterized
by ICP-AES and TEM and a slight decrease in the activity of the catalyst was attributed to the agglomeration
of the palladium nanoparticles.

Middle-Aged Men With HIV Have Diminished Accelerometry-Based Activity Profiles Despite Similar Lab-Measured Gait Speed: Pilot Study (Preprint)
Authors: Hale Timothy M , Guardigni Viola , Roitmann Eva , Vegreville Matthieu , Brawley Brooke , Woodbury Erin , Storer Thomas W , Sax Paul E , Montano Monty
Published: February 2019

BACKGROUND

People aging with HIV are living with increased risk for functional decline compared with uninfected adults of the same age. Early preclinical changes in biomarkers in middle-aged individuals at risk for mobility and functional decline are needed.

OBJECTIVE

This pilot study aims to compare measures of free-living activity with lab-based measures. In addition, we aim to examine differences in the activity level and patterns by HIV status.

METHODS

Forty-six men (23 HIV+, 23 HIV−) currently in the MATCH (Muscle and Aging Treated Chronic HIV) cohort study wore a consumer-grade wristband accelerometer continuously for 3 weeks. We used free-living activity to calculate the gait speed and time spent at different activity intensities. Accelerometer data were compared with lab-based gait speed using the 6-minute walk test (6-MWT). Plasma biomarkers were measured and biobehavioral questionnaires were administered.

RESULTS

HIV+ men more often lived alone (P=.02), reported more pain (P=.02), and fatigue (P=.048). In addition, HIV+ men had lower blood CD4/CD8 ratios (P<.001) and higher Veterans Aging Cohort Study Index scores (P=.04) and T-cell activation (P<.001) but did not differ in levels of inflammation (P=.30) or testosterone (P=.83). For all participants, accelerometer-based gait speed was significantly lower than the lab-based 6-MWT gait speed (P<.001). Moreover, accelerometer-based gait speed was significantly lower in HIV+ participants (P=.04) despite the absence of differences in the lab-based 6-MWT (P=.39). HIV+ participants spent more time in the lowest quartile of activity compared with uninfected (P=.01), who spent more time in the middle quartiles of activity (P=.02).

CONCLUSIONS

Accelerometer-based assessment of gait speed and activity patterns are lower for asymptomatic men living with HIV compared with uninfected controls and may be useful as preclinical digital biomarkers that precede differences captured in lab-based measures.
Beyond One-Off Integrations: A Commercial, Substitutable, Reusable, Standards-Based, Electronic Health Record–Connected App (Preprint)
Authors: Mandl Kenneth D , Gottlieb Daniel , Ellis Alyssa
Published: February 2019

UNSTRUCTURED

The Substitutable Medical Apps and Reusable Technology (SMART) Health IT project launched in 2010 to facilitate the development of medical apps that are scalable and substitutable. SMART defines an open application programming interface (API) specification that enables apps to connect to electronic health record systems and data warehouses without custom integration efforts. The SMART-enabled version of the Meducation app, developed by Polyglot, has been implemented at scores of hospitals and clinics in the United States, nation-wide. After expanding their product’s reach by relying on a universal, open API for integrations, the team estimates that one project manager can handle up to 20 simultaneous implementations. The app is made available through the SMART App Gallery, an open app store that supports discovery of apps and, because the apps are substitutable, market competition. This case illustrates how a universal open API for patient and clinician-facing health IT systems supported and accelerated commercial success for a start-up company. Giving end users a wide and ever-growing choice of apps that leverage data generated by the health care system and patients at home through a universal, open API is a promising and generalizable approach for rapid diffusion of innovation across health systems.

Published: February 2019

An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of Ralco’s Microfused Essential Oils (MEO) on growth, jejunal histology, and meat quality of coccidiosis-challenged broilers. Day old broilers (n = 768; 64 pens; 12 broilers/pen) were randomly allotted to 1 of 5 dietary treatments fed in 4 phases: starter (d0–16), grower (d17–27), finisher (d28–34), and withdrawal (d35–41). Diets were a corn-soybean meal basal diet (CON), CON+BMD50/Coban90 at 55/121, 250/550, 250/495 and 0 mg/kg (ANTI), CON+MEO at 375, 250, 125, and 100 mg/kg (MEOD), CON+MEO at constant 500 mg/kg (MEO500), and CON+MEO at constant 250 mg/kg (MEO250). Broilers were offered a 10X dose of a coccidiosis vaccine on d 3, 15, 22, and 29. On d 14, jejunal histology was measured. Two broilers per pen were harvested on d 41 and breast pH was measured. Rancidity compounds (TBARS) were measured on whole breasts at d 7 postmortem and ground thighs on d 0, 3, 5, and 7 postmortem. Overall, MEO250-fed broilers had a tendency for greater gain over CON-fed (63.6 vs. 61.3 ± 0.87 g; P < 0.08). MEOD-fed broilers tended to have greater villus height compared to MEO500-fed (806.6 vs. 716.3 ± 27.7 μm; P = 0.09. No differences were observed for pH or TBARS of breasts (P > 0.05). There were differences in L*, a*, and b* color values of breasts and there was an interaction for color values of thighs. ANTI, MEO500, and MEO250 had decreased TBARS values for thighs compared to CON at d 7 postmortem (P ≤ 0.05). Overall, growth performance of MEO250 was not different than ANTI during peak challenge (P > 0.05). MEO250 could improve growth performance and meat quality when broilers are subjected to a coccidiosis disease challenge.
FILSAFAT MORAL IMMANUEL KANT: Suatu Tinjauan Paradigmatik
Authors: Gusmian Islah
Published: February 2019

The ethics taught in Pre-Kant era was eudemonistic. Thenature of moral proposed by Kant was the awareness of the obligation,absolute obligation. But there was no relationship between obligationand happiness. Actually Kant did not reject the acts which came frompositive feelings, but rejected the acts appeared from the feelings. Kantemphasized that the real moral awareness independently appear whenthere is no natural tendensi or social habit. If a person show his/ herhonesty from the deepest of his/ her heart, then he/she has the moralvalue. There is a possibility that being honest came from the socialoppression. Kant, also claimed that people obey and follow anobligation in which they do not have beliefs. Those are the reasons ofKant as quoted on the statement “das moralische Gesetz in mir“

Published: February 2019

The aim of the present study was to establish the extent to which the outlet waters of trout farms affect the ecosystems of the Crnica and Skrapez rivers in Serbia. We monitored selected biomarkers of oxidative stress: superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and total glutathione (GSH) in larvae of the species Ecdyonurus venosus, and simultaneously analyzed the changes in the physical and chemical parameters. The investigations were carried out in spring at four localities along the Skrapez and Crnica rivers: one upstream (the control localities), and three downstream from the fish farm outlets. On the Skrapez River, the fish farm was clearly visible and was markedly changed by the chemical parameters of the water, manifested as a decreased concentration of dissolved oxygen, increased concentrations of nitrates, nitrites, ammonium ions, total phosphorus and total organic carbon, and increased SOD and GPx activities and decreased GSH concentration in larvae from the first downstream locality as compared to the control locality. On the Crnica River, due to the high values of water flow (around 3 m3/s), effluents from the fish farm had no effect on the chemical parameters of the water or on the tested biomarkers.
Vertical spatial representation of numbers across two cultures
Authors: Pasqualotto Achille , Uesaki Maiko , Ashida Hiroshi
Published: February 2019

There is strong evidence that numbers are spatially represented. However, much of the research has been concerned with investigating number representation within the horizontal rather than the vertical dimension. It has been suggested that the organisation of the writing system, by rows or by columns, plays a pivotal role in shaping the mental number representation. We investigated the vertical number representation in British and Japanese participants, who were asked to randomly generate numbers after turning their heads up or down. Previous works showed that this method facilitated the access to the corresponding portions of the horizontal mental number representation. We found that neither group seemed to be affected by the up/ down head turns. These results are discussed in terms of cultural crossover, differences in the horizontal vs. vertical spatial and numerical representation, and sensitivity of the random number generation task.
Optimal Monetary Policy Regime Switches
Authors:   University of Wisconsin-Madison, Choi Jason , Foerster Andrew ,   Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
Published: February 2019

An economy that switches between high and low growth regimes creates incentives for the monetary authority to change its rule. As lower growth tends to produce lower real interest rates, the monetary authority has an incentive to increase the inflation target and increase the degree of inertia in setting rates in an attempt to keep the nominal rate away from the zero lower bound. An optimizing monetary authority therefore responds to permanently lower growth by slightly increasing both the inflation target and inertia; focusing solely on the inflation target ignores a key margin of adjustment. With repeated growth rate regime switches, an optimal monetary rule that switches at the same time internalizes both the direct effects of growth regime change and the indirect expectation effects generated by switching in policy. The switching rule improves economic outcomes relative to a constant rule. A constant rule may be preferred if the monetary authority attempts a switching rule but implements the wrong rule with high enough frequency.

ABSTRACTThe issue of salt production in Indonesia and to fulfill the increasing demand of salt every year through salt import, is the basis of the study. To increase productivity and quality, and the welfare of salt formers, Indonesian government has intervened through enactment of People Salt Business Empowerment Program (PUGAR) in 2011. Even with implementation of the program, problems of national salt still continue, hence there is a need to evaluate the program. The title of the study is Evaluation of PUGAR Program in Pangenan Sub-district, Cirebon District, West Java.The methodology in this study used qualitative hybrid approach, with primary data collection from direct interviews, field observation and secondary data from documents and literature on PUGAR. Evaluation of PUGAR program used evaluation goal-based and logic model, and used William Dunn’s evaluation criteria of effectiveness, efficiency, responsiveness and appropriateness as evaluation tool. The study result shows that evaluation of PUGAR program in Pangenen Sub-district, Cirebon District has been implemented in accordance to the applied standard and guidelines, but it has not met the aspect of effectiveness in its organization and forming of people salt , efficiency of Community Direct Aid  (BLM) policy to help salt farmers, responsiveness in the use of technology and appropriateness to the policies on Spatial Planning of Cirebon District and on salt import, Further in-depth study on the program is still needed.

A preliminary survey indicated that the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica is widely distributed in the rhizosphere of medicinal plants in Boyer-Ahmad region (Iran). Host suitability of ten species of medicinal plants to M. javanica was examined in a pot experiment under controlled greenhouse conditions: alkakengy (Physalis alkekengi L.), chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.), English plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.), garden anchusa (Anchusa italica Retz.), horehound (Marrubium vulgare L.), lovage (Levisticum officinale L.), sorrel (Rumex acetosella L.), thistle (Echinops adenocaulos Boiss.) and woundwort (Stachys pilifera Benth.). According to the scheme of Canto-Saenz, seven species, namely garden anchusa, fennel, horehound, alkakengy, English plantain, woundwort and sorrel can be considered susceptible hosts with gall index (GI) > 2 and reproduction factor (RF) > 1, and thistle, lovage and chamomile, can be considered as hyper-susceptible with GI > 2 and RF ≤ 1.
Cuerpo estigmatizado y enunciación paratópica en la performance de Lechedevirgen Trimegisto
Authors: Rodríguez Antoine
Published: February 2019

Este trabajo propone un análisis de la performance Pensamiento Puñal (2012) del artista mexicano Felipe Osornio “Lechedevirgen Trimegisto”, tomando como punto de partida la noción de paratopía teorizada por el lingüista francés Dominique Maingueneau. Se reflexiona sobre varios aspectos de la creación de Lechedevirgen Trimegisto: la escenificación de la postura paratópica del creador —es decir, de su problemática inserción en el espacio sociocultural—, las filiaciones culturales que sirven de legitimación a la obra y la des-biopolitización del cuerpo masculino cuir/queer a la que se dedica el artista de performance.Stigmatized Body and Paratopic Enunciation in the Performance of Lechedevirgen TrimegistoAbstractThis article discusses the performance Pensamiento Puñal (2012) of Mexican artist Felipe Osornio (a.k.a. Lechedevirgen Trimegisto), taking cue from the notion of paratopia, as theorized by the French linguist Dominique Maingueneau. Several aspects of Lechedevirgen Trimegisto’s work are addressed: the staging of the artist’s paratopic positioning (that is, of the problematic way in which he locates himself in the socio-cultural space), the cultural affiliations that serve as legitimation to his work, and the des-biopoliticization of the queer male body.Recibido: 30 de agosto de 2017Aceptado: 28 de enero de 2018
Los talleres Drag King: Una metodología feminista de investigación encarnada
Authors: Pons Rabasa Alba
Published: February 2019

En el marco de las críticas post-estructuralistas a la identidad, propongo el drag king como una metodología feminista de investigación encarnada que nos permite reflexionar corporalmente en torno a la identidad de género en tanto experiencia, pero también en tanto categoría teórica y política. A partir de dicho ejercicio performático y performativo se evidencian los desbordamientos y las tensiones existentes entre la propia experiencia y la representación de la misma. En un primer momento, ubicaré el origen de los talleres Drag King como herramienta de concienciación feminista, para después exponer lo que tal experiencia supone en una trayectoria vital específica a través de un breve relato autoetnográfico y, a partir de allí, problematizar la identidad de género.Palabras clave: autoetnografía, investigación encarnada, identidad de género, performatividad, performance.Drag King Workshops: A Feminist Embodied Research MethodologyAbstractBased on post-structuralist critiques of identity, this paper argues that drag king performances may serve as a feminist embodied research methodology that allows us to think of gender identity as corporeal experience, but also as a theoretical and political category. These performative exercises make clear the overflows, tensions and gaps between first hand experiences and the way in which these might be represented and read by others. The origin of the Drag King workshops as a feminist awareness technique is briefly discussed. This is followed by a self-reflexive ethnography in which the author explains how drag king performances affected her own life history and how this led her to a problematization of gender identity.Recibido: 30 de agosto de 2017Aceptado: 09 de febrero de 2018
La labor afectiva del duelo: ofrendas, pérdidas y desapariciones en Guerrero
Authors: Johnson Anne W.
Published: February 2019

En este ensayo intento dar pistas para comprender la labor afectiva del duelo en dos contextos. Primero, retomo la construcción de las “ofrendas nuevas” en Teloloapan, Guerrero, como una expresión de luto y manera de manejar la pérdida de un ser querido. A continuación volteo la mirada a la emergencia del movimiento social alrededor de la desaparición forzada de cuarenta y tres normalistas en Iguala, Guerrero, expresión de una violencia en la cual está implicado el Estado mexicano y que, a la vez que enmarca la acción política en la experiencia de dolor y pérdida, demuestra los límites del proceso de duelo. El análisis de ambos casos me permite reflexionar sobre el duelo como una labor afectiva que, en distintas situaciones, produce distintos efectos culturales, psicológicos, sociales y políticos.The affective labor of grieving: ofrendas, loss and disappearance in Guerrero, MexicoAbstractIn this essay, I try to understand the affective labor of grief in two contexts. First, I take up the construction of the “ofrendas nuevas” in Teloloapan, Guerrero as an expression of mourning and a means of managing the loss of a loved one. I then turn to the emergence of the social movement that has grown up around the forced disappearance of 43 teacher-training students in Iguala, Guerrero, an expression of state-complicit violence that demonstrates the limits of the grief process, as it simultaneously frames political action in the experience of pain and loss. The analysis of both cases allows me to reflect on grief as affective labor that produces distinct cultural, psychological, social and political effects.Recibido: 14 de septiembre de 2017Aceptado: 31 de enero de 2018

Fundamentals of Measurement: Linking Evidence to Practice
Authors: Kamper Steven J.
Published: February 2019

Measurement is fundamental to science, which means that physical therapists must engage with measurement if the profession wishes to call itself scientific. However, while it is simple enough to agree that measurement is a good idea, there is more to measurement than meets the eye. Clinicians and researchers both face similar issues when it comes to interpreting the measures they collect. To do this accurately, understanding some basic concepts about measurement is necessary.

Tackling Halogenated Species with PBSA: Effect of Emulating the σ-Hole
Authors: Nunes Rafael , Vila Viçosa Diogo , Costa Paulo J.
Published: February 2019

To model halogen bond phenomena using classical force fields, an extra-point (EP) of charge is frequently introduced at a given distance from the halogen (X) to emulate the σ hole. The resulting molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories can be used in subsequent molecular mechanics (MM) combined with Poisson–Boltzmann and surface area calculations (MM-PBSA) to estimate protein–ligand binding free energies (∆Gbind ). While EP addition improves the MM/MD description of halogen-containing systems, its effect on the calculation of solvation free energies (∆G solv ) using the PBSA approach is yet to be assessed. As the PBSA calculations depend, among other parameters, on the empirical assignment of radii (PB radii), a problematic issue arises since standard halogen radii are smaller than the typical X· · · EP distances (usually corresponding to R min ), thus placing the EP within the solvent dielectric. Herein, we performed a comprehensive study on the performance of PBSA (using three different calculation setups) in the calculation of ∆G solv values for 142 halogenated compounds (bearing Cl, Br, or I) for which the experimental values are known. By conducting an optimization (minimizing the error against experimental values), we provide a new optimized set of halogen PB radii for each PBSA setup to be used when the EP is located at R min . A simultaneous optimization of PB radii and X· · · EP distances shows that a wide range of distance/radius pairs can be used without significant loss of accuracy, therefore laying the basis for expanding this halogen radii optimization strategy to other force fields and EP implementations. As ligand ∆G solv estimation is an important term in the determination of protein–ligand ∆G bind , this work is particularly relevant in the framework of structure-based virtual screening and related computer-aided drug design routines.

Published: February 2019

Kekayaan budaya dan keberagaman kondisi alam menyebabkan muncul keberagaman arsitektur di Nusantara. Arsitektur Nusantara yang beranekaragam, tetap dipandang oleh sebagian golongan sebagai sebuah kekunoan, dan ketidaklayakan untuk dijadikan sebagai hunian. Ketidaklayakan itu tergambarkan dari penggunaan material alami yang mudah lapuk atau aus, konstruksi dengan sambungan tanpa paku sehingga menyebabkan konstruksi rumah menjadi miring. Tulisan ini merupakan kajian terhadap penerapan teori vitruvius dalam arsitektur nusantara sekaligus pembuktian kelayakan huni bangunan arsitektur nusantara. Metode kualitatif digunakan dalam penelitian ini dengan melakukan studi literatur terhadap arsitektur Waerebo dan Toraja sebagai pembandingnya dan untuk memberikan pemahaman yang lebih baik terhadap fenomena tersebut. Aspek Firmitas, Utilitas dan Venustas mulai dari material alami, konstruksi sebagai kekokohan dan keindahan arsitektur menjadi objek kajian yang diteliti. Hasil kajian menunjukkan arsitektur Nusantara juga memiliki tingkat kekokohan yang stabil dengan teknik konstruksi material alaminya yang khas. Pemaknaan utilitas pada bangunan arsitektur nusantara juga tidak tergambar dalam makna kegunaan atau fungsi bangunan melainkan kepada identitas status sosial. Sedangkan penerapan venustas terlihat pada ornamen, seni ukir dan teknik ikat. Hasil dari penelitian ini juga dimaksudkan untuk memberikan acuan teoretis tentang kekokohan, kegunaan, dan keindahan berbagai rumah adat di Nusantara yang dibangun dari material alami lokal saja
Pesantren’s Dormitory Design Parameters Based on Student’s Preference and Adaptation
Authors: Yusuf Mimin Aminah , Hayati Arina , Faqih Muhammad
Published: February 2019

Currently the development of pesantren in Indonesia is very rapid, while there is still no concept that is used as a reference in designing of the dormitory building. There are several standards or references used in dormitories but currently only found for campus dormitories. In addition, there are some problems in pesantren dormitory such as infrastructure that is less supportive and very high occupancy density, therefore students make adaptations. This study aims to formulate the parameters used in designing pesantren based on preferences and adaptation. Preference is included because there is relationship between preference and adaptation.

Are Millennials really Picking Pets over People? Taking a Closer Look at Dog Ownership in Emerging Adulthood
Authors: Graham Taryn M. , Milaney Katrina J. , Adams Cindy L. , Rock Melanie J.
Published: February 2019

This paper draws on the work of Bourdieu to understand how experiences with dog ownership become embodied and how these experiences influence young people’s development as they leave home and learn to mobilize any capital to which they have access. Our results show that dogs can provide everyday routine during a stage in life when young people often experience instability. Additionally, dogs may help to shift the focus beyond self, thereby influencing how, and with whom, millennials spend their time. Nonetheless, balancing dog ownership with education, work, dating, social life, and other obligations could become challenging. Overall, this paper highlights that young people’s access to resources, including housing, may influence their capacities to experience all the benefits that pet ownership purports to offer. Dog ownership has numerous implications for healthy development among millennials, yet greater support may be needed to facilitate smoother transitions.
Islamic Education Based on Quantum Learning: Conceptual and Methodological Perspective
Authors: Abidin Muhammad Zainal
Published: February 2019

This article aims to compare quantum learning, a new effective approach to education in the Western world, with the philosophy of Islamic education. There were three foci of the literature studied—the human aspect as both the subject and the object of the education, the learning environment, and the learning methodology. This paper is a study of relevant literature of quantum learning and the philosophy of Islamic education. The result of the comparison shows that conceptually the views of quantum learning as it pertains to human beings as both the subject and the object of the education, the learning environment, and learning methods have many similarities with the spirit of Islamic education. In could be viewed that philosophically, quantum learning has a strong foundation in Islamic eduation. Quantum learning is the concrete form of Islamic education, as developed by the Western perspective of education.
KONSEP MAQASHID AL-SYARI`AH: PERBANDINGAN ANTARA PEMIKIRAN AL-GHAZALI DAN AL-SYATHIBI
Authors: Khatib Suansar
Published: February 2019

This article explains the comparison of maqashid al-shari'ah thinking between al-Ghazali and al-Syathibi. The purpose and core of all Islamic teachings (Qur'an and hadith) is benefit. The need to prioritize the benefit of religious texts and ijma in the Muamalah region and adat if there is a contradiction between the two. Benefits prepared by humans must be included in the benefit of the text if there is a contradiction between the two. Both of them also agreed that the benefit was intended, the essence returned to the protection of humans themselves, but according to al-Thufi maslahah is the most authoritative independent proposition to determine legal policy. Benefit is not an authoritative proposition to determine legal policy. Benefit is not a legal proposition, but as the core and purpose of a law. According to him all the Islamic Shari'ah teachings have a causal relationship (muamalah) with benefit in the customary territory and muamalah. Intellect (intellect) of normal human beings can also know and find benefit in the area of muamalah and adat (tradition) not in the area of worship

Parsimonious Voice Leading and theStimmführungsmodelle
Authors: Jeßulat Ariane
Published: February 2019

This article confronts the dialectic between parsimonious voice leading, as represented by neo-Riemannian theory, and the diatonicStimmführungsmodelle, or the traditional formulas and methods of thorough-bass pedagogy as they were preserved in the nineteenth century. The historical contexts are represented by Carl Friedrich Weitzmann’s essay on the augmented triad (1853) and Simon Sechter’sGeneralbass-Schule(1835). The possibility of setting the diatonic and chromatic models into productive analytic practice is explored, even as it is acknowledged that they are grounded in different principles. Steven Rings’s “syntactical interaction” and Richard Cohn’s “double syntax” are invoked. A Brahms song and a Schubert symphony serve as extended analytical examples.
The Individual Tone and Musical Context in Albert Simon’sTonfeldtheorie
Authors: Polth Michael
Published: February 2019

Albert Simon’s analytical approach, or Tonfeldtheorie, is applicable to most compositions of the late nineteenth and early to mid-twentieth centuries. Pitch fields are not based on voices or voice leading; instead, individual pitches are understood as elements of a particular pitch field. The identity of pitches is partly defined systematically, partly through the sound material itself, that is, by material aspects that determine respective concrete, sensually experienceable properties. Compositions, then, are analyzed as aggregates of timbrally defined individual notes whose material identity reveals their membership in structures.
European Perspectives on Recent Tonal Theories, their Models, and Analytical Tools
Authors: Guillotel-Nothmann Christophe
Published: February 2019

The articles collected here were part of a one-day thematic session held during the7th European Music Analysis Conference(Leuven, Belgium, September 17–20, 2014). The session was dedicated to current understandings of tonality, particularly recent European perspectives and their connections to historical theory. Despite differences in methods and aims, the contributions here engage in dialogue by identifying specific research traditions and approaches—ranging from hermeneutical philosophy to neostructuralism—and by addressing characteristics of tonality. Three main threads run throughout: (1) the directional tendency of chord progressions; (2) centricity; and (3) hierarchical organization. Together, the perspectives adopted suggest that progress in the understanding of tonal language depends on a continuing dialectic between the theoretical discourse of the past and modern tools and models—including analysis of large corpora.
Ammonia Measurement in the IVC Microenvironment
Authors: Morrow Robert B , Wiler Rhonda J
Published: February 2019

In this review, we describe the methods and technology used to measure intracage ammonia levels; the data were derived from 38 articles published since 1970. Ammonia concentration is commonly used as a surrogate for assessing environmental quality inside rodent cages. Data generated
from this group of publications have been used to support new husbandry practices, determine the effect of ammonia on health, and establish the effectiveness of caging systems. Consequently, the data generated from these studies have a direct effect on animal welfare and therefore should demonstrate
a high level of reproducibility. Obtaining reproducible results requires a critical understanding of the methodology and the technology used to collect ammonia concentration data. This review highlights the need for consistent methodology for measuring ammonia that considers the technology
used to capture the data as well as the environmental parameters that affect ammonia concentrations, to facilitate the design of future studies.
Jóvenes y ciencias sociales: rediscutir el papel de las universidades
Authors: García Canclini Néstor
Published: February 2019

El artículo pone en cuestión el lugar que ocupan las universidades en la sociedad actual, cuyo orden se transforma a gran velocidad y está intrínsecamente ligado al desarrollo tecnológico. Sin ser el hogar exclusivo de la cultura, la universidad resulta, en medio del actual tsunami de privatizaciones, uno de los últimos hogares de lo público. No un simple refugio de la autonomía sino un lugar abierto a la reflexión y al conocimiento crítico de lo que significa vivir juntos.
Jorge Luis Borges y las guerras mundiales
Authors: Kristal Efraín
Published: February 2019

Lejos de echar a la historia por la borda con sus relatos fantásticos y sus abstracciones filosóficas, Borges recurrió a ambos para ofrecer ideas más allá de las posibilidades del mero realismo. El presente artículo demuestra cómo no hay ninguna contradicción entre el acercamiento de Borges a la literatura fantástica y las lecciones que se pueden extraer de los mecanismos con los cuales hizo todo lo posible para evitar los prejuicios del nacionalismo y la xenofobia en la construcción de su mundo literario.
