Individual Donor Support for Nonprofits: The Roles of Financial and Emotional Information
Authors: Agyemang Isaac , Bay Darlene D. , Cook Gail L. , Pacharn Parunchana
Published: August 2018

The ability to attract donor funding is important to many nonprofit organizations' success in achieving their goals. Prior literature indicates that the emotional response of potential donors to the mission of these organizations as well as the assessment of the financial information provided impacts donation decisions. However, prior literature has examined either the effect of the emotional response or financial information, but not both. Using an experiment, our paper fills this gap in the literature by investigating both factors in the same study. Furthermore, we investigate the potential moderating effect of emotional intelligence. The results indicate that, under some circumstances, the emotional response of the potential donor and the donor's emotional intelligence impact both the decision to donate and the size of the donation. However, the financial information, as compiled by the Better Business Bureau, a business rating agency that also rates charities, impacts only the size of the donation.
Impact of XBRL on Voluntary Adopters' Financial Reporting Quality and Cost of Equity Capital
Authors: Hsieh Tienshih , Bedard Jean C.
Published: August 2018

We investigate whether corporate governance quality explains differences in financial reporting quality and cost of capital following the XBRL Voluntary Filing Program (VFP) launched by the SEC. Research on the effects of voluntary XBRL adoption remains valuable, as a bill recently introduced in Congress could revert the majority of U.S. public companies to voluntary compliance. Further, such research informs investors, researchers, and regulators in other countries that do not yet require XBRL. We hypothesize that the likelihood of achieving XBRL's expected benefits is greater in companies with stronger corporate governance. For instance, such companies might implement XBRL in ways that substantially improve information gathering and reporting; or make better use of XBRL to enhance its benefits, regardless of implementation strategy. Results confirm the expected interactive effect of voluntary XBRL adoption and corporate governance strength on both financial reporting quality and cost of capital. These findings suggest that not all voluntary adopters benefited from XBRL; rather, only those with superior corporate governance show measurable benefits during our study period.

Published: August 2018

Los linfangiomas son malformaciones congénitas del sistema linfático relativamente infrecuentes que normalmente se presentan en los primeros años de la infancia; constituyen la causa más frecuente de tumoración de la región lateral del cuello presentes al nacimiento. Un síntoma común es una tumoración en el cuello que se observa ya sea en el momento de nacer o más tarde, después de una infección respiratoria. La presentación en la edad adulta es rara y su tratamiento es normalmente quirúrgico. Se presenta caso de paciente masculino de 50 años de edad, con cuadro clínico de masa tumoral cervical izquierda de 1 año de evolución, sin relación a traumatismos previos, la que generaba dificultad respiratoria por su tamaño y compresión de estructuras cercanas como la vía aérea, además de dificultad para la deglución, luego de los exámenes de imagen se evidencia en ecografía una tumoración quística de 12 x 10cm; así mismo se practica una punción por aspiración por aguja fina, la cual no reportó signos de malignidad al estudio citológico, por lo que es intervenido quirúrgicamente, realizándose la extirpación completa del tumor; y, preservando estructuras vasculares, nerviosas y glandulares. Su estudio anatomopatológico confirmó el diagnóstico de Linfangioma Quístico. Luego del alta médica acude a controles periódicos por consulta externa sin evidenciarse recidivas, concluyendo que su diagnóstico y manejo quirúrgico fue el correcto, a pesar de su gran tamaño y el tiempo de evolución.

Resultados: se analizaron 130 historias clínicas, 11 tenían datos incompletos. 119 pacientes ingresaron con sospecha de EHP; se confirmó el diagnóstico en 101, 87 (86%) fueron varones y 14 (14%) mujeres. La edad en días promedio±DS fue 36.97 ±18.24, rango (16 a 150). El US tuvo una sensibilidad del 100%, especificidad del 83%, valor predictivo positivo del 97% y valor predictivo negativo del 100% para el diagnóstico de EHP. El principal motivo de consulta fueron los vómitos (100% de los casos). El promedio de días de hospitalización fue 5.92±3.38. Conclusión: el US es el mejor método diagnóstico para la EHP en los pacientes con sospecha clínica, sugiriéndose la utilización de otros estudios solo en caso de alta duda diagnóstica.
Diseño de estrategias alternativas para el aprendizaje de la historia y geografía. Caso: Telesecundaria en Tabasco / Design of Alternative Strategies for the Knowledge of History and Geography. Case: Telesecundaria in Tabasco
Authors: Gordillo Fuentes Eduardo Jesús
Published: August 2018

Además de por sus transmisiones televisivas, el servicio de telesecundaria se caracteriza por ser un solo maestro el responsable del proceso educativo de todas las asignaturas de un grado. En este contexto se presenta un caso peculiar: la asignatura optativa “Historia y geografía del estado de Tabasco”, perteneciente al tercer grado del nivel secundaria y del subsistema telesecundaria, no tiene espacios destinados a la transmisión televisiva de sus contenidos educativos, ya que solo se cuenta con el material impreso, que es el libro editado por la Secretaría de Educación en el estado de Tabasco. En vista de este vacío didáctico, se planteó como objetivo de investigación diagnosticar la necesidad de diferentes apoyos didácticos para reforzar el desarrollo de los contenidos programáticos de la asignatura en cuestión. El trabajo de investigación se realizó específicamente en la telesecundaria Guadalupe Victoria, con clave 27ETV0099B, del poblado de Cúlico, ubicado en el municipio de Cunduacán, Tabasco. Esta es una institución de organización completa.Se trabajó con el paradigma cualitativo y bajo el enfoque de investigación-acción, tomando en cuenta que se caracteriza por realizarse de forma participativa. Se seleccionó esta forma de trabajo para ser efectuada a partir de un taller. Además, se acompañó de asambleas generales donde se presentó un proyecto metodológico para reforzar la forma de impartir esta materia. El programa fue elaborado en conjunto con los promotores del proyecto, quienes solicitaron el funcionamiento del taller y, a su vez, eran los maestros encargados de la asignatura. Los participantes fueron los profesores de la escuela y alumnos de la misma. Se integró un grupo operativo que, por sus características, es el que más se identificaba con el desarrollo del trabajo y, de igual forma, se trabajó con grupos constituidos por colegas que compartían un mismo rol y grupos formados por otras personas que (aunque en roles distintos) participaban juntos en alguna actividad.A partir de la integración de los grupos, se pudo reflexionar sobre un gran número de creencias y comportamientos sobre la enseñanza y el aprendizaje que, en cierta manera, conforman una docencia de sentido común; en donde a pesar de que existe disposición a la mejora, se hace presente una fuerte resistencia al cambio, la cual se convierte en un obstáculo para renovar la enseñanza. Sin embargo, esta problemática solo es superable si se realiza un trabajo docente interactivo, colectivo, participativo, analítico, crítico, reflexivo e innovador.
Normas dominantes en las decisiones éticas y actitudes de los estudiantes universitarios: teoría y prueba empírica obtenida en México / Dominant Norms in Ethical Decisions and Attitudes among University Students: Theory and Empirical Test in Mexico
Authors: Sahagún Miguel Ángel , Vásquez-Párraga Arturo Z.
Published: August 2018

Para que la fuerza laboral de un país se comporte de manera ética en el ejercicio profesional es necesario que durante su preparación educativa desarrolle una base ética sólida que le permita resolver dilemas éticos de manera correcta. Estudios previos demuestran que trabajadores no éticos usualmente fueron también estudiantes no éticos. El principal objetivo de este estudio fue conocer la orientación ética de los estudiantes universitarios en México y evaluar las diferencias de orientación entre los alumnos de postgrado y pregrado, y entre los alumnos de las carreras económico-administrativas e ingeniería. También se buscó medir las actitudes de los estudiantes universitarios mexicanos respecto al plagio y la copia ilícita en la vida académica.Los resultados del estudio mostraron una diferencia significativa entre la orientación ética de los alumnos de postgrado y pregrado. Los resultados también presentaron diferencias menores entre las carreras económico-administrativas e ingeniería. Las actitudes de los estudiantes universitarios mexicanos respecto del plagio y la copia ilícita reflejaron tanto juicios de valor como razones sociales que buscan justificar sus actitudes respecto al plagio y la copia ilícita, los cuales fueron agrupados en cinco factores: 1) valor del estudio, 2) administración del tiempo, 3) imitación, 4) compañerismo y 5) presión laboral.La orientación ética de los estudiantes mexicanos sufre una brecha entre la su juicio ético y su intención de actuar. Los estudiantes mexicanos determinaron su juicio ético solo con base en su evaluación moral (deontológica), al mismo tiempo que tomaron una decisión, en este caso la decisión de premiar o castigar la conducta presentada, con base en su juicio ético o en su evaluación de las consecuencias (teleológico). Esto es: fueron morales en la actitud, pero pueden ser morales o no morales en la decisión de premiar o castigar la conducta. Pueden premiar una conducta inmoral que produce consecuencias positivas o favorables, y pueden castigar una conducta moral que produce consecuencias negativas o desfavorables al actor de la conducta. La mera presencia de dilemas éticos confundió a los estudiantes que probablemente no cuentan con una base moral sólida.

ResumenEste artículo de reflexión recoge, desde la perspectiva de los profesores del equipo docente, experiencias formativas con jóvenes estudiantes de Psicología de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, quienes vienen realizando cada semestre durante los últimos quince años su práctica en el Énfasis en Inclusión Narrativa. Los estudiantes llevan a cabo entrevistas biográficas a profundidad con adultos mayores institucionalizados, con el propósito principal de escribir sus biografías, leérselas y entregárselas publicadas en un libro durante la ceremonia solemne de cierre de la práctica en cada institución. Además, los estudiantes realizan algunos talleres, acompañan la conformación de grupos auto-gestionados, convocan reuniones de grupos de apoyo y realizan conversaciones individuales con otras personas mayores. En este artículo se contrastan las experiencias de los jóvenes estudiantes con las de los adultos mayores, en términos de encuentros y desencuentros entre generaciones: diferencias en el origen rural, campesino o urbano, en el estrato socioeconómico, en la edad procesada por la historia y la cultura, en la experiencia del tiempo vivido y del que queda por vivir, en el pensamiento lógico y la sabiduría, en el énfasis en la autonomía o en el cuidado.Palabras clave: adultez mayor, juventud, relaciones intergeneracionales, biografíaAbstractThis reflexive article presents, from the perspective of supervisors of the teaching team, formative experiences with young psychology students of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, who have been practicing with the Emphasis on Narrative Inclusion during the last fifteen years. Students conduct in-depth biographical interviews with institutionalized older adults, with the main purpose of writing their biographies, reading them, and giving them through a book during a solemn final ceremony at each institution. In addition, the students deliver some workshops, facilitate the formation of self-managed groups, hold meetings of support groups and hold individual conversations with older people. This article contrasts the experiences of young students with those of older adults in terms of convergences and divergences between generations: differences in rural or urban origin, socioeconomic status, age processed by history and culture, time experience and time left to live, in logical thinking and wisdom, in the emphasis on autonomy or care, are some of the convergences and divergences considered.Keywords: older adult, youth, intergenerational relations, biography

Dopamine detection using mercaptopropionic acid and cysteamine for electrodes surface modification
Authors: Khan Muhammad Salman , Asif Afia , Khawaldeh Saed , Tekin Ahmet
Published: August 2018

Gold electrodes are often not suitable for dopamine measurements as dopamine creates a non-conducting polymer layer on the surface of the electrodes, which leads to increased amount of electrode passivity with the gradual increase in voltammograms measurement. This work presents the impedance spectroscopy and cyclic-voltammetry comparative study for dopamine detection with two modifications for the surface of Au electrodes; cysteamine and mercaptopropionic acid for thermally bonded and ultrasonically welded microfluidic chips, respectively. The effects of optimized tubing selection, bonding techniques, and cleaning methods of the devices with KOH solution played crucial role for improvements in dopamine detection, which are observed in the results. Furthermore, comparison for the modification with unmodified chips, and finding the unknown concentration of dopamine solution using flow injection techniques, is also illustrated.

Authors: Moqadam Sepideh Mohammadi , Grewal Parvind Kaur , Haeri Zahra , Ingledew Paris Ann , Kohli Kirpal , Golnaraghi Farid
Published: August 2018

An electrical Impedance based tool is designed and developed to aid physicians performing clinical exams focusing on cancer detection. Current research envisions improvement in sensor-based measurement technology to differentiate malignant and benign lesions in human subjects. The tool differentiates malignant anomalies from nonmalignant anomalies using Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). This method exploits cancerous tissue behavior by using EIS technique to aid early detection of cancerous tissue.

The correlation between tissue electrical properties and tissue pathologies is identified by offering an analysis technique based on the Cole model. Additional classification and decision-making algorithm is further developed for cancer detection. This research suggests that the sensitivity of tumor detection will increase when supplementary information from EIS and built-in intelligence are provided to the physician.
Gender and Developmental Aspects of Metaphor and Metonymy Comprehension Processes
Authors: Vernarská Miroslava Süčová , Zelenayová Petra
Published: August 2018

Introduction: The goal of the present study was, in line with theoretical findings, to confirm a shift in metaphor and metonymy comprehension on a sample of Slovak children and to track an effect of a gender as well.

Methods: Metaphor and metonymy comprehension were measured with an author constructed tool consisting of eight metaphors and eight metonymies. Respondents were given a multiple choice option to select a correct meaning of metaphor or metonymy. The sample consisted of 120 elementary school children from Košice area. For an age assessment, two age groups were created based on elementary school grades-fourth grade (9-10 years) and eighth grade (13-14 years).

Results: Results of our study indicate that both metaphor comprehension and metonymy comprehension shift significantly with age. Eight graders scored significantly better than fourth graders in tasks given. We found statistically significant differences between genders as well. Girls scored significantly higher than boys both in metaphor comprehension and metonymy comprehension.

Discussion: Metaphor and metonymy comprehension progress significantly in time, supposedly in line with the development of other cognitive processes. Gender differences can be explained in part by female advantage in verbal processes proclaimed by some research.

Limitations: We see limits of our research in capturing a relatively narrow age range.

Conclusion: Our study aims to contribute to knowledge about figurative language development since only few researchers have addressed the problem. Perspectives for future research are in exploring given topic on various developmental stages to gain a complex understanding of metaphor and metonymy development in Slovak population and to better explain gender differences.

The clinical effects on knee osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms and tissue structure were evaluated after bone marrow-derived mononuclear cell intraarticular injection. A group of 32 patients with 34 knee joints in stage II–III osteoarthritis were treated by intraarticular injection of mononuclear cell suspension. Clinical results were obtained by KOOS (Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) and KSS (Knee Society Score) scores during a 12 months follow-up period. Radiological evaluation was performed using magnetic resonance imaging. A comparison with a control group of 28 patients treated with routinely used three hyaluronic acid intra-articular injections was made. No adverse effects were observed after the bone marrow derived mononuclear cells (BM-MNC) injection. At the end point of the follow up all score results had improved, compared to those at to the starting point. 65% of patients maintained minimal perceptible clinical improvement of the score results. The Whole Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score showed improvement from 44.31 to 42.93 points (p < 0.05) during a 6–7 month period. Comparing score results to the control group, a statistically significant (p < 0.05) improvement in the KOOS pain subscale score at the 6 and 12 months was observed in the mononuclear cell group. BM-MNC injection leads to a decrease of knee OA symptoms and slows changes in structure of the degenerative joint tissue.
Singing Accent Americanisation in the Light of Frequency Effects: LOT Unrounding and PRICE Monophthongisation in Focus
Authors: Konert-Panek Monika
Published: August 2018

The paper investigates – within the framework of usage-based phonology – the significance of lexical frequency effects in singing accent Americanisation. The accent of Joe Elliott of a British band, Def Leppard is analysed with regard to LOT unrounding and PRICE monophthongisation. Both auditory and acoustic methods are employed; PRAAT is used to provide acoustic verification of the auditory analysis whenever isolated vocal tracks are available. The statistical significance of the obtained results is verified by means of a chisquare test. In both analysed cases the percentage of frequent words undergoing the change is higher compared with infrequent ones and in the case of PRICE monphthongisation the result is statistically significant, which suggests that word frequency may affect singing style variation.

Anchored on the Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge or TPACK Framework (Koehler & Mishra, 2009) and Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition or SAMR Model of Technology Integration into the classroom (Puentedura, 2014), this study investigated a corpus of 58 blog posts written by ESL learners through weblogs. It aimed to determine the views of students on the use of blogs in learning English writing skills and to explore students� feedback on the advantages of blogging as a virtual writing platform. Research participants were 58 freshman university tourism students enrolled at a Study and Thinking Skills class in a private university in Manila, the Philippines during the first semester of the academic year 2017-2018. Research data drawn from students� blogs, survey questionnaires and focus group discussion revealed that despite accessibility issues due to technological resources, the learners viewed blogging as a viable platform in learning English writing skills because it affords them freedom to express their thoughts, it develops or improves their writing skills, and it allows them to connect and engage with their peers online, inter alia. Pedagogical implications for ESL writing teachers and researchers are offered based on these results.Keywords: Teaching writing, ESL writing, weblogs, blogging, TPACK, SAMR

Authors: Manikam Nurul Ratna , Pantoro Nico I , Komala Karina , Sari Ayu Diandra
Published: August 2018

Introduction Obesity is a nutritional disease which is still a health burden particularly in Jakarta. The main treatment for obesity is nutritional intervention. Nowadays, several dietary approaches have been developed, including ketogenic diet, which is still controversial. Methods Literature search had been done within 4 databases including PubMed®, Cochrane®, Google® Scholar, and Science Direct®, using keywords: obesity, ketogenic diet, low-fat diet, and weight loss. Then, Medical Sub Heading (MeSH) was used. The search resulted in two articles which were appraised according to aspects of validity, importance, and applicability Results A randomized-controlled trial study showed similar effect of weight loss with ketogenic diet compared to low-fat diet. On the other hand, a meta-analysis study showed ketogenic diet caused more weight loss than low-fat diet. Both studies showed an increased risk of cardiovascular disease from the ketogenic diet group, which were shown by a decrease of flow-mediated dilatation and an increase of LDL-C. Conclusion Ketogenic diet shows a better long-term effect for weight loss in obese patients than low-fat diet. However, ketogenic diet may increase the cardiovascular event risk significantly.

Published: August 2018

Aim: Comparing the effectiveness of introducing complementary foods at four months of age compared to six months of age to reduce the incidence of iron-deficiency anemia among healthy full-term infants.Methods: A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, EBSCO, and Cochrane on 28th September 2017. After the selection of title and abstract was done using the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Twelve original articles were found, but after full-text assessment, only two studies were considered relevant. These two studies were further critically appraised for its validity, importance, and applicability to measure its usability degree in this study.Results: These two included studies showed no significant difference of iron-deficiency anemia incidence between the two complementary feeding groups. This can be shown by the absolute risk reduction which varied from -3.1% to 13.4%, relative risk reduction which varied from -22.8% to 18.4%, and number needed to treat which varied from -33 to 8. Both studies found that the ferritin was significantly different between both groups. However, the hemoglobin concentration was significantly higher in the complementary fed group in only one study.Conclusion: The introduction of complementary feeding at 4 months of age is not effective to reduce the incidence of iron-deficiency anemia.

Introducción: Aunque las quemaduras cáusticas representan un bajo porcentaje de las quemaduras, dadas las complicaciones que asocian, son un problema de salud pública que exige nuevas opciones terapéuticas como son el uso de productos derivados de plantas, entre ellos, Caléndula offinalis, Aloe vera y  Cannabis sativa, cuyo uso está condicionado, inicialmente a pruebas como la evaluación de su efecto irritativo/corrosivo agudo en piel. Materiales y métodos: Estudio experimental en animales, aleatorizado. El material vegetal se obtuvo del Jardín Medicinal Jorge Piñeros Corpas; los aceites y extractos de las plantas se obtuvieron por métodos clásicos de extracción; la base de excipientes fue provista por el Laboratorio de Farmacología Vegetal (LABFARVE). Se emplearon 8 Ratas wistar macho alojadas bajo condiciones controladas y parámetros de ética y bienestar animal. La prueba de irritación/corrosión dérmica aguda se hizo siguiendo la norma OECD 404, tras previa anestesia de los animales y siguiendo los criterios de dolor y punto final. Resultados: De Caléndula officinalis se obtuvieron dos  aceites esenciales y tres extractos; el gel de Aloe vera y un extracto de Cannabis sativa. Ninguno de los extractos generó escara, eritema o edema en los animales, siendo negativa la prueba de irritación/corrosión aguda en piel. Discusión: Los resultados obtenidos desde esta investigación básica en medicina traslacional, brindan evidencia que complementa la información reportada en la literatura acerca del uso tradicional y los estudios in vitro e in vivo de estas plantas para el manejo de diversas enfermedades. La ausencia de efecto irritativo o corrosivo en piel es coherente con el conocimiento del tipo de metabolitos secundarios activos que se han identificado en ellas con actividad antiinflamatoria, antioxidante, antimicrobiana y cicatrizante. Los resultados aseguran su inocuidad química al contemplarlas para investigar su potencial uso terapéutico en lesiones dérmicas, tipo quemaduras cáusticas, garantizando su seguridad .

This current paper brings into discussion cultural meaningfulness on intercultural perspective of English learning materials for elementary school. Students might be perceived to master English, but there has been no guarantee that they can properly make use of their acquired language skills upon direct interaction with native speakers of the target language. This is reasonable as English instruction in elementary school is projecting grammatical aspects, not touching cultural aspects of the target language yet. In fact, those cultural aspects are playing pivotal roles in achieving interactional comprehension between speakers and interlocutors. In regards to cultural studies, foreign language students are to be apt to target language’s cultures. Departing for the mentioned concerns, English is to be taught by incorporating cultural aspects of native speakers, and thus intercultural perspective. This current paper pinpoints the development of intercultural perspective in English learning materials for elementary school students aging from 6-12 years old. Cultural meaningfulness on intercultural perspective is set to be the target that encapsulates various topics for teaching English in elemenatry school. The so called perspective not merely comprises social skills, but training sensitivity and comprehension on values, point of view, proper way of life and thinking as well. A number of materials containing intercultural perspective and cultural meaningfulness are described in this paper. Those materials are presented within six intercultural topics in the forms of culture-related vocabularies, expressions, and meanings.

Published: August 2018

Penelitian ini membahas penerjemahan repetisi leksikal dengan mengacu pada novel The Old Man and the Sea karya Ernest Hemingway dan dua versi terjemahannya dalam bahasa Indonesia. Pengkajian dilakukan terhadap cara yang digunakan oleh masing-masing penerjemah novel tersebut, Sapardi Djoko Damono dan Yuni Kristianingsih Pramudhaningrat, untuk menangani repetisi leksikal dalam teks sumber, serta pergeseran terjemahan yang ditimbulkannya. Dalam kajian ini terungkap bahwa kedua penerjemah telah mereduksi gaya bahasa repetisi Hemingway. Reduksi menyebabkan kedua teks terjemahan mengalami pergeseran yang substansial dari teks orisinal, baik secara sintaktis maupun semantis.

Published: August 2018

Persoalan tubuh dan jiwa perempuan dijadikan subjek inferior dan eksploitasi atas tubuhnya sendiri menjadi ruang yang paradoksal muncul dalam karya-karya puisi Indonesia sejak tahun 1960--2016. Rumusan masalah penelitian ini adalah wacana otoritas tubuh, baik sakral maupun profan sebagai representasi citra ruang manusia; konsep ruang dan konstruksi tubuh dalam pertarungan kehidupan dalam puisi-puisi penyair di Bali. Metode pengumpulan data penelitian ini adalah studi pustaka dengan teknik baca catat. Analisis data menggunakan metode analitik deskriptif dengan teknik hermeneutika dan interpretatif. Teori penelitian ini adalah poskolonial Sara Upstone dengan mempraktikkan ruang tubuh dan konstruksi keberadaan eksistensi manusia itu sendiri. Hasil dan pembahasan penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa otoritas tubuh mengalami ironi dengan peristiwa yang dialami manusia, yaitu tubuh sebagai jasmaniah, tubuh sebagai simbol agama, dan tubuh sebagai kekuatan perempuan dalam menghadapi pertarungan kehidupan. Konstruksi yang terjadi dalam tubuh pada akhirnya menjadi diri yang dibongkar/dibalikkan oleh penyair yang secara ontologis dikuliti sendiri. Tubuh dihancurkan dalam kebudayaan, kefaanaan, sedangkan jiwa sebagai Tuhan yang diidealkan dalam keutuhan. Dengan demikian, konstruksi dan ruang tubuh antara profan dan sakral adalah ruang paradoksal antara jasmani dan rohani yang didekonstruksi oleh penyairnya menjadi sebuah ironi semata.
