A new optotype and chart for precision visometry
Authors: Aliev A-G. D. , Aliev A. A-G. , Nurudinov M. M.
Published: December 2019

Purpose. To develop a new optotype and a chart for precision visometric tests and assess their accuracy.

Materials and methods. 56 patients aged 16 to 57 years with the maximum visual acuity (VA) of 1.0 or more were examined for VA using three types of optotypes: standard letter optotype based on the Sivtsev — Golovin table, Landolt rings, and a new optotype developed by the authors.

Results. On the basis of the psychometric analysis, the corresponding curves were drawn. When using the new optotype, the share of correct answers for VA = 1.0 was 75 %, for VA = 1.5 — 25 %, and for VA = 2.0 — 10 %. In contrast, Landolt rings and Sivtsev — Golovin optotypes gave the following results, respectively: VA = 1.0 — 50 %, 1.5 — 20 %, 2.0 — 10 % and VA = 1.0 — 45 %, VA = 1.5 — 15 %, VA = 2.0 — 5 %.

Conclusion. The proposed optotype and the table for visometric tests, based on the principle of logarithmic progression of optotype sizes, significantly increase the accuracy of VA assessment. An extended range of optotype sizes increases the sensitivity of the visometry.

Published: December 2019

The river situation in a dry or semi-dry area is extremely affected by climate change and precipitation patterns. In this study, the impact of climate alteration on runoff in Kashafrood River Basin (KRB) in Iran was investigated using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) in historical and three future period times. The runoff was studied by MIROC-ESM and GFDL-ESM2G models as the outputs of general circulation models (GCMs) in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) by two representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios (RCP2.6 and RCP8.5). The DiffeRential Evolution Adaptive Metropolis (DREAM-ZS) was used to calibrate the hydrological model parameters in different sub-basins. Using DREAM-ZS algorithm, realistic values were obtained for the parameters related to runoff simulation in the SWAT model. In this area, results show that runoff in GFDL-ESM2G in both RCPs (2.6 and 8.5) in comparing future periods with the historical period is increased about 232–383% and in MIROC-ESM tends to increase around 87–292%. Furthermore, GFDL-ESM2G compared to MIROC-ESM in RCP2.6 (RCP8.5) in near, intermediate, and far future periods shows that the value of runoff increases 59.6% (23.0%), 100.2% (35.1%), and 42.5% (65.3%), respectively.

Published: December 2019

Background:

The global epidemiology of meningococcal disease varies markedly by region and over time. In Nepal, information on serogroup of meningococci is not available since the 1983 serogroup A epidemic in Kathmandu.

Objective:

To provide some fundamental data on the circulating serogroups of meningococci for potential meningococcal immunization programs in Nepal.

Methods:

This cross-sectional prospective study was conducted from January 2017 to December 2018 among 387 clinically suspected meningitis cases. Cerebrospinal fluid samples were collected by lumbar puncture technique at five referral hospitals of Kathmandu and processed by conventional cultural techniques. Neisseria meningitidis was identified by colony morphology, Gram staining and oxidase test. Serogrouping of meningococci was performed by slide agglutination test. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was done by the modified Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. The data was entered into IBM SPSS Statistics 21 software and a p-value of <0.05 was considered significant.

Results:

Thirty-two samples were positive by culture for a bacterial pathogen with 2.3% of meningococci. All except one meningococcal meningitis cases were aged below 15 years. All N.meningitidis isolates belonged to serogroup A and were susceptible to ceftriaxone, chloramphenicol, meropenem and minocycline; however, 22% isolates showed resistance to cotrimoxazole and 11% intermediate resistance to ciprofloxacin.

Conclusion:

The circulating serogroup of N. meningitidis in Kathmandu has not changed over the past 35 years. The prevalence of meningococcal meningitis in Kathmandu is low but might be underestimated due to the sole use of culture-based diagnostic methods. Detection of meningococci by alternative methods may be useful in the precise estimation of actual disease burden.
Cena Prístina: campo existencial da investigação estética
Authors: Pacheco Deise Abreu
Published: December 2019

Este artigo propõe, por meio da apresentação de uma modalidade de criação textual nomeada cena prístina, uma abordagem teórico-prática de pesquisa no âmbito das artes performativas. Esta perspectiva está situada no contexto do pensamento do autor dinamarquês Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855), tendo em vista o confronto filosófico entre entendimento conceitual e conhecimento experiencial, pensamento e existência. A noção intitulada cena prístina, compreendida como campo existencial da investigação estética, é interpelada a partir de três tópicos centrais: a escrita, a leitura e o dizer (Bajard 2005), práticas fundadas na contradição entre as instâncias da imediatidade e da linguagem.
A dualidade artística do compositor-intérprete
Authors: Barceló Ricardo
Published: December 2019

A obra de arte vive apenas nas interpretações que dela são feitas, um facto que ganha maior dimensão no caso da música e outras artes performativas, sendo essas interpretações infinitas perante uma infinidade de personalidades interpretantes. A interpretação supostamente exige fidelidade ao significado da obra, mas a obra também deixa uma margem de liberdade, inevitavelmente, para avisão do intérprete. Composição e performance musical implicam interação com uma realidade física que impõe limitações, perante as quais as personalidades dos artistas tomarão diferentes decisões para superar os obstáculos, revelando um estilo, que deixará transparecer na obra o espírito da pessoa. Consideramos que na situação especial do compositor-intérprete, ou seja, o compositor que compõe uma peça queo próprio executa, o artista passa por um diálogo com a matéria mais de uma vez, lidando com a realidade física, primeiro durante a composição e depois na performance, comunicando dessa forma a obra e a sua maneira de ver a obra ao mesmo tempo. Neste caso não há duas personalidades intervindo na mesma obra, mas uma única pessoa em diferentes situações e lapsos temporais, a interagir com a forma em distintos aspetos, representando um desafio pouco divulgado, que analisamos neste artigo.
Arte da memória e memória da arte em Baú de Ossos
Authors: Gabriel Maria Alice Ribeiro
Published: December 2019

Nas últimas décadas, pesquisas nos campos da neurociência cognitiva, dos estudos culturais, da história e da literatura expandiram o conceito de memória. Estudos de Eric Kandel, Elie Wiesel, Elizabeth Loftus, Jan Assman, Hayden White, Michael Roth, Paul Ricoeur, Richard Kearney e Saul Friedländer indicam que processos sociais motrizes para representar o significado do passado incluem a arte e a literatura. Marcel Proust notou o papel da obra de arte junto à perceção sensorial e forneceu um modelo da capacidade analógica das memórias associativa e voluntária. Este artigo analisa propriedades mnemônicas da arte ao retratar cenas e perfis biográficos, a fim de mostrar que referências artísticas perfazem um memorial estético em Baú de ossos (1972).
Experimentar Artaud: sobre a cartografia como metodologia de pesquisa e investigação artística em artes cênicas
Authors: Dias Luciana da Costa , Barbosa Tamira Mantovani Gomes
Published: December 2019

Um dos aspectos mais importantes de uma investigação artística é a necessidade de utilização da metodologia de pesquisa mais apropriada a cada caso. Quando se trata das Artes Cênicas, que somente na segunda metade do século XX ganharam força enquanto campo independente do saber, essa necessidade se faz ainda mais fremente –e metodologias adequadas que deem conta do processo criativo do ator-pesquisador ainda estão em fase de consolidação. Neste trabalho, através de um estudo de caso, pretendemos investigar a Cartografia como metodologia possível para a pesquisa baseada em artes na área das Artes Cênicas. O Estudo de caso aborda alguns aspectos da Oficina de Criação realizada, ao longo de um semestre letivo, no âmbito da Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP/ Brasil). O referencial teórico utilizado engloba autores como Antonin Artaud, Gilles Deleuze Jacques Derridae Sueli Rolnik. Nesta disciplina, ministrada pelas autoras, proposições artísticas para uso da voz e do corpo, extraídas do pensamento artaudiano para criação de um ‘novo teatro’ no século XX, foram experimentadas pelos alunos e mapeadas em sua evolução até a apresentação das cenas/performances finais, que encontram neste artigo a discussão de alguns aspectos observados.
Todos os espaços de arte para mulheres na Europa ao longo da década de 1970
Authors: Coelho Maria Luísa
Published: December 2019

Editado por Agata Jakubowska e Katy Deepwell (esta última sobejamente conhecida pelo seu contributo para o desenvolvimento e visibilidade da crítica feminista nas artes visuais através da, recentemente extinta, revista n.paradoxa), All-Women Art Spaces in Europe in the long 1970s é uma coleção de ensaios fascinantes e imprescindíveis para um estudo amplo e plural dos feminismos artísticos europeus. Este volume insere-se na atual tendência apresentada pela crítica e pelo movimento feministas, no sentido de uma descentralização e revisão da dialética centro-periferia, subjacente não só ao pensamento ocidental em geral, mas também à crítica feminista; tal paradigma tem sido marcado pela experiência e o discurso anglo-americanos, frequentemente entendidos como origem de uma arte e crítica feministas. O propósito do volume é por isso traçar um arco de análise bem mais alargado, de forma a compreender e articular dialogicamente práticas e eventos cuja existência seria anteriormente compreendida como periférica e derivativa, quando não completamente remetida à invisibilidade, ao silêncio e à ignorância.
Differences in Electronic Personal Health Information Tool Use Between Rural and Urban Cancer Patients in the United States: Secondary Data Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Greenberg-Worisek Alexandra , Ferede Liaa , Balls-Berry Joyce , Marigi Ian , Valentin Mendez Emily , Bajwa Numra , Ouk Melody , Orellana Minerva , Enders Felicity
Published: December 2019

BACKGROUND

Studies have previously shown that rural cancer patients are diagnosed at later stages of disease. This delay is felt throughout treatment and follow-up, reflected in the fact that rural patients often have poorer clinical outcomes compared with their urban counterparts.

OBJECTIVE

Few studies have explored whether there is a difference in cancer patients’ current use of health information technology tools by residential location.

METHODS

Data from 7 cycles of the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS, 2003-2017) were merged and analyzed to examine whether differences exist in managing electronic personal health information (ePHI) and emailing health care providers among rural and urban cancer patients. Geographic location was categorized using Rural-Urban Continuum Codes (RUCCs). Bivariate analyses and multivariable logistic regression were used to determine whether associations existed between rural/urban residency and use of health information technology among cancer patients.

RESULTS

Of the 3031 cancer patients/survivors who responded across the 7 cycles of HINTS, 797 (26.9%) resided in rural areas. No difference was found between rural and urban cancer patients in having managed ePHI in the past 12 months (OR 0.78, 95% CI 0.43-1.40). Rural cancer patients were significantly less likely to email health care providers than their urban counterparts (OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.32-0.84).

CONCLUSIONS

The digital divide between rural and urban cancer residents does not extend to general ePHI management; however, electronic communication with providers is significantly lower among rural cancer patients than urban cancer patients. Further research is needed to determine whether such disparities extend to other health information technology tools that might benefit rural cancer patients as well as other chronic conditions.
Small Scale Ecology and Society: Forest-Culture of Papua Nutmeg (Myristica argentea Warb.)
Authors: Ungirwalu Antoni , Awang San Afri , Maryudi Ahmad , Suryanto Priyono
Published: December 2019

Identities and entities can be found in the cultural and ecological environment of a community when its members interact with each other. The Papua nutmeg (Myristica argentea Warb.) has been utilized by the Baham-Matta ethnic in the western part of Papua for centuries as part of their traditional ecological knowledge of nontimber forest products (NTFPs). However, this practice has not been scientifically constructed as part of social forestry science. Therefore, this paper seeks to contribute to an empirical understanding of the forest-culture of the local community and its implications for adaptive forest governance in West Papua. This study found that adaptive resource management has been applied to the Papua nutmeg, which is called henggi in Iha language and endemic to the tropical forest of the western part of Papua. The treatment of Papua nutmeg consists of three stages, namely pre-harvest, harvest, and post-harvest, all of which form a holistic unity which is sustainable until today. The Papuan nutmeg is traditionally managed and locally conserved using a traditional method known as the sasi system.Ekologi dan Masyarakat Skala Lokal : Hutan Budidaya Pala Papua (Myristica argentea Warb.)IntisariIdentitas dan entitas dapat ditemukan pada lingkungan budaya dan ekologi masyarakat saat mereka berinteraksi. Pala papua (Myristica argentea Warb.) telah dimanfaatakan selama berabadabad oleh etnis Baham-Matta di Papua Barat berdasarkan sistem pengetahuan ekologis tradisional sebagai bagian dari hasil hutan bukan kayu (HHBK) unggulan. Namun disayangkan fenomena ini belum dikonstruksi secara ilmiah sebagai bagian dari ilmu perhutanan sosial. Oleh karena itu makalah ini berusaha memberi kontribusi pada pemahaman empiris tentang hutan-budaya dari praktik masyarakat lokal dan implikasinya terhadap tata kelola hutan adaptif di Papua Barat. Hasil kajian ini menemukan bahwa pengelolaan sumber daya adaptif pala papua yang disebut Henggi dalam bahasa Iha adalah tumbuhan endemik yang berasal dari hutan alam tropis di Papua Barat. Pemanfaatan pala papua terdiri dari tiga tahapan yaitu pra panen, panen dan pasca panen. Pengelolaaannya masih sangat sederhana dan bersifat tradisional dengan salah satu keunggulannya adalah konservasi tradisional menggunakan sistem “Sasi”.

LEGAL REGULATION OF INTERNET BANKING IN INDIA
Authors: Frolova Evgenia E.
Published: December 2019

The features of the legal regulation of Internet banking in India are investigated. Internet banking is gradually replacing the use of cash, checks, and, most importantly, customers who personally come to bank offices: according to statistics, the total amount of transactions in the digital payments segment of India in 2019 will be $ 64.775 billion. USA. Electronic banking is a generic term for the provision of banking services and products via electronic channels, such as telephone, Internet, mobile phone, etc. The main regulatory act regulating Internet banking in India is the Information Technologies Act 2000, which provides for legal recognition of electronic transactions and other means of electronic commerce. In addition to the new law, the norms of traditional banking legislation also apply to Internet banking. The main financial regulator of India the Reserve Bank - also provides direct management of Internet banking: it developed guidelines for Internet banking in India in 2001; as well as the Mobile Banking Guide, which was transformed into the Mobile Banking Master Circular51 in 2016. The rights of consumers of Internet banking services are protected on the basis of the Consumer Protection Act 198652, which defines the rights of consumers in India and also applies to banking services. India’s law is based on case law, and in this regard, a number of new case law on disputes between banks and their customers in the field of Internet banking has been studied. However, in the legislation, the article notes, there are a number of gaps related primarily to ensuring the safety of online banking. Information security in electronic banking represents two main areas of risk: preventing unauthorized transactions and maintaining the integrity of customer transactions. When writing the article, general scientific methods of cognition were used: dialectical, hypothetical-deductive method, generalization, induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, empirical description; private scientific methods were also used: legal, dogmatic, statistical, comparative legal analysis, and others.
LEGAL NATURE OF DEPARTMENTAL REGULATIONS
Authors: Arzamasov Yuri G.
Published: December 2019

The article is devoted to the establishment of the legal nature of departmental regulations. The main parameters and scope of rule-making competence of federal executive bodies are examined. Because of the heterogeneity of departmental normative acts, there is a need to develop a general multistage classification of departmental regulations, the creation of which will also help determine their legal nature. Based on the analysis, a conclusion was made on the need for legislative regulation of the rule-making competence of federal executive bodies, as well as the procedure for implementing a departmental norm-setting process in the Russian Federation. The question is debated whether the departmental normative acts are sources of law. It is concluded that departmental regulations perform the same functions as all other normative legal acts, that is, they create norms of law, modify and supplement existing norms, and in some cases cancel them. Consequently, these acts are sources (forms) of law. The problem of the place, which departmental normative acts occupy in the system of subordinate normative acts, is being discussed. In conclusion, the author comes to the inference that departmental regulations possess all the features of by-laws. It is noted that departmental regulations act as acts of developing norm-setting, since they carry out the functions of detailing and concretizing laws, acts of the President and the Government.
Africanidades presentes em patrimônios da cultura material e imaterial em Alcântara/MA
Authors: Sousa Ricardo Costa de , Lima Marisvaldo Silva
Published: December 2019

Este escrito tem como objetivo central discutir as africanidades presentes em patrimônios da cultura material e imaterial no município histórico de Alcântara, no Estado do Maranhão, atentando-se às contribuições dos remanescentes de escravos na sua construção e manutenção, de modo a potencializar elementos fundantes da cultura africana no patrimônio da cidade. Assim, este escrito problematiza a diversidade patrimonial e colabora, de forma significativa, para a formação identitária dos alcantarenses. Para esta escrita, procuraram-se as contribuições em documentos produzidos pelo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN), bem como referências que tratem as africanidades presentes em patrimônios da cultura material e imaterial. Consequentemente, utilizaram-se pesquisas de campo, nas quais se registrou o ouvido, o vivido e o sentido, de modo a reunir subsídios que apontem a relação dos descendentes de escravos em Alcântara com o patrimônio material e imaterial da cidade. Pode-se concluir, a partir da pesquisa documental, bibliográfica e de campo, que há uma nítida relação e correlação entre o patrimônio da cultura material e imaterial, em que se circunscrevem os descendentes de escravos, pois se compreende que as ruínas de casarões antigos abundantes em Alcântara são espaços não somente de preservação e manutenção, de encontros de festejos, de lazer e expressões religiosas – em que se misturam o sagrado e o profano – como também onde identidades se constroem e reconstroem no fortalecimento de memórias do passado e do presente.
Artes e memórias na Ilha de Santa Catarina: expressão visual e performance musical na trajetória de Valdir Agostinho
Authors: Py de Oliveira Luciano
Published: December 2019

Este artigo apresenta parte da trajetória artística do catarinense Valdir Agostinho, com base no seu acervo pessoal, que reuniu diferentes tipos de documentos, como evidência de sua carreira. Dentre as artes visuais, destaca-se a pandorga, objeto que adquire status de obra de arte, escolhido como amostragem e análise neste trabalho, que se integra à pesquisa ampliada, como parte do projeto de tese. Foram escolhidas três pandorgas, em função de ênfases e perspectivas distintas: a representação autobiográfica; a temática da natureza e do meio ambiente; as tradições orais da Ilha de Santa Catarina, articuladas ao desenvolvimento de oficinas de arte. O artigo pretende demonstrar que o trânsito pela cidade permitiu ao artista vivenciar diferentes redes de sociabilidade, em direção à modernidade, como na pandorga “O Roqueiro”; consolida-se como artista profissional com a pandorga “Ecologia no ar”, adotando essa temática como um dos eixos principais de seu trabalho; retorna para a Barra da Lagoa, seu bairro nativo e passa a adotar outro eixo temático, a cultura popular, assim como fez seu mestre Franklin Cascaes, o que pode ser percebido na pandorga “Flor de renda”.
Aulas online e o conflito como instrumento de aprendizado e transformação
Authors: Vargas Bruna Quartarolo , Nicolaides Christine Siqueira
Published: December 2019

Partindo-se da ideia de que o conflito pode ser um instrumento catalisador de transformações e aprendizado, neste trabalho serão levados em consideração alguns preceitos da Teoria Sociocultural (TSC - VYGOTSKY 1978; 1998), perspectiva pela qual analisamos narrativas geradas a partir de aulas que ocorreram por meio digital (via Skype). Os resultados apontam para o desenvolvimento do conhecimento como transformação ocorrida coletivamente, por meio de tensões e conflitos geradores de discussões transformadoras, uma vez que em conjunto, mediadas pela linguagem e com o auxílio de pares mais experientes, entremeadas cada um por suas próprias Zonas de Desenvolvimento Proximal (ZDP), buscou-se resolver problemas de ordem interpretativa e técnica para que todas as participantes pudessem seguir adiante nas discussões. Com base nas negociações realizadas pelas participantes, foi possível destacar a ZDP como espaço dialético para questionamentos, aprendizagem e (trans)formação.
Mães ouvintes e filhos surdos: uma visão psicanalítica sobre relações afetivas na primeira infância que transcendem as diferenças
Authors: Morais Valdete De Lima Ank , Baltazar Sheila Tavares , Nobre Thalita Lacerda
Published: December 2019

É por meio da linguagem que pensamos e expressamos nossos sentimentos e nos comunicamos com o mundo. Assim, cientes da importância das interações e relações interpessoais entre os sujeitos surdos e suas famílias, nosso estudo tem como objetivo pesquisar sobre a comunicação afetiva entre a mãe ouvinte e o filho surdo, focando, principalmente, nas dificuldades de aceitar a surdez do filho e de que forma essa resistência interfere no interesse pela aprendizagem da língua de sinais como meio de comunicação. Essas investigações foram elucidadas pelas experiências vivenciadas pela protagonista do filme “Sou surda e não sabia”. Acreditamos que esta pesquisa possa trazer espaços de reflexão sobre a importância da aquisição da língua de sinais para filhos surdos e seus pais, uma vez que a comunicação entre estes é fundamental para o seu desenvolvimento físico e psíquico, bem como primordial para se alcançar uma interação desses surdos com o mundo, o qual se relaciona por meio da linguagem oral. A utilização de um filme como objeto de estudo nos permitiu trazer reflexões sobre a realidade a partir da história narrada.

Problems of Marriage and Self Surrender in The Novels of Shashi Deshpande
Authors: Goyal Dr. Indu
Published: December 2019

Marriage is an important thing in the life of a woman. The importance that our society attaches to marriage is reflected in our literature and it is the central concern of Shashi Deshpade’s novels. In our society where girl learns early that she is ‘Paraya Dhan’, and she is her parents’ responsibility till the day she is handed over to her rightful owners. What a girl makes of her life, how she shapes herself as an individual, what profession she takes up is not as important as whom she marries. Marriage is the ultimate goal of a woman’s life.

This paper attempts to probe into the problems of marriage through the protagonists of her novels where one enjoys the freedom of marriage and the other accepts the traditional marriage.

Shashi Deshpade highlights the problems of marriage faced by middle-class people in finding suitable grooms for their daughters. This problem is well-illustrated through the characters of her novels. Since the girl’s mind over her childhood is tuned that she is another’s property, she tries to attach a lot of importance to it. it is indeed a tragedy that even in the modern age, Indian females echo the same sentiment where it was marriage which mattered most of them but not to the men. It is a beginning of females sacrifices in life that marriage brings to her.

Shashi Deshpande encourages her female protagonists to rise in rebellion against the males in the family matters, instead she wants to build a harmonious relationship between man and woman in a mood of compromise and reconciliation.

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat seyogyanya senantiasa besinergi dengan masyarakat dengan potensi yang cukup besar akan tetapi masih kurang optimal dari segi operasionalnya. Pengembangan dan pemberdayaan kelompok masyarakat yang menjadi sasaran kegiatan ini cenderung masih sangat sederhana dari segi tata kelola dan peralatan kerja. Kelompok usaha loloh/jamu di Dusun Ked, Desa Taro, Kecamatan Tegalalang yang dikoordinir oleh I Wayan Kariasa “Bli Sabar” memang sudah berdiri sejak Tahun 2004, namun demikian dari segi omset penjualan, cakupan wilayah pemasaran dan penjualan produk, tata kelola usaha dan keuntungan relatif kecil dan tidak berkembang pesat dari awal berdirinya sampai sekarang. Kendala dalam peralatan kerja, pemasaran dan perhitungan omset usaha memang harus dibantu oleh Tim Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat, yang terdiri dari 3 (tiga) orang dosen yang berasal dari multi disiplin ilmu. Kegiatan diawali dengan sosialiasasi kepada anggota kelompok usaha loloh yang dibarengi dengan pemberian sosialisasi aspek Kesehatan dan Keselamatan Kerja (K3). Selanjutnya memberikan bantuan alat-alat yang dapat digunakan sebagai peralatan kerja seperti: Mesin Penggiling Rempah, Alat Pengangkut, Kompor Besar dan Mesin Pendingin/Kulkas yang digunakan dalam proses produksi loloh. Lebih lanjut, kegiatan ini membantu dalam desain kemasan agar lebih menarik dan mudah dikenal konsumen. Indikator capaian kegiatan ini adalah terwujudnya usaha loloh yang berdaya saing, hegienis, mudah dikenal, dengan pangsa pasar yang lebih luas dan produk yang bernilai ekonomi tinggi. Tentunya dengan kegiatan ini, kelompok usaha loloh mampu meningkatkan produksi produk dan pendapatan hingga 60% (enam puluh persen) per bulan, dan di akhir kegiatan tim pengabdian akan memberikan pelatihan keuangan sederhana guna mengetahui omset penjualan produk per bulannya, melalui laporan keuangan sederhana.

Elections in Indonesia since independence until now have experienced many  changes and dynamics, starting from the existence of guided democracy, Pancasila democracy, to the emergence of reforms showing how dominant the role (government) of the State is in giving color to the democratic system in Indonesia. Various electoral systems have implications for increasing state officials involved in corruption. The correlation between the electoral system and the eradication of corruption is closely related, because the stages and processes that are passed by the participants of this election require very high funding. Corruption that occurs is inseparable from the influence of factors, namely corruption by greed, corruption by need, corruption by opportunities, corruption by Exposus. Efforts to eradicate corruption have been carried out with various efforts and instruments of legislation, but there are still many regional officials involved in corruption, it needs improvement through political education for the community, an information center on election participants, professional and neutral law enforcement. efforts to prevent corruption from an early age, one of the methods used is Applied Neuroscience, because as well as and as much as legislation if people do not have integrity and an anti-corruption attitude, corruption will always be there.

Nonlinearism: The Paradigm That Replaced Postmodernism. On the Materials of Song Poetry and Cyberliterature
Authors: Gavrikov Vitaliy A.
Published: December 2019

This article is an attempt to delineate a new paradigm in the literary arts (including print literature and song poetry). According to the author’s hypothesis, this paradigm cannot be attributed simply to the onset of “digital culture.” The primary reason for the emergence of the new paradigm is the transition from the modernist-postmodernist text to the non-linear text. The transition began in print literature, continued in song poetry, and found its ultimate expression in cyberliterature. The second reason was a change in the artistic paradigm. According to Roland Barthes, in literature, the era of authorial intent (with the author’s mind as the focus) had given way to the period of textuality before reception (which focused on consciousness) became dominant. In this article, the author hypothesizes that at the end of the twentieth century the active postmodernist reception of literary texts was replaced by interactive nonlinear reception.
“A Multitude of Drops.” David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas and the Subject between Space and Time
Authors: Albert Noémi
Published: December 2019

David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas (2004) presents its readers with a “borderless world.” This borderlessness concerns space and time, with complex and interweaving spatiotemporal planes. In this fictional world, the subject will serve as an entity that brings together disparate spatialities and temporalities through an intricate symbolic web that connects the subject’s body to the world it inhabits. Numerous versions of past, present, and future run in parallel, the actual and the virtual coexist, and the text folds upon itself. The novel operates a constant state of liminality, a state that will be embodied by the subject. Seemingly in a paradoxical way, the multiple liminal states identifiable in the novel convey the ultimate sense of borderlessness. It is exactly the work’s heterogeneity, its jumps through time and space, its interrupted chapter structure that lend it a special unity and coherence that erases both geographical and temporal borders. The novel’s structure goes into thematic depths and creates a bridge, a constant interplay between form and content, captured in the metaphor of the concertina. Consequently, Cloud Atlas creates a constantly shifting world where the only fixed entity is the subject and its comet-shaped birthmark.
Spaces in Between in the Myth of Myrrha: A Metamorphosis into Tree
Authors: Veres Ottilia
Published: December 2019

Within the larger context of metamorphoses into plants in Greek and Roman mythology, the paper aims to analyse the myth of Myrrha and her metamorphosis into a tree, focusing on the triggering cause of the transformation as well as the response given to her newly-acquired form of life. Myrrha’s transformation into a myrrh tree takes place as a consequence of her transgressive incestuous act of love with her father, Cinyras. Her metamorphosis occurs as a consequence of sinful passion – passion in extremis –, and she sacrifices her body (and human life/existence) in her escape. I will look at Ovid’s version of the myth as well as Ted Hughes’s adaptation of the story from his Tales from Ovid. My discussion of the transformation into tree starts out from the consideration that metamorphosis is the par excellence place and space of in-betweenness implying an inherent hybridity and blurred, converging subjectivities, a state of being that allows for passages, overlaps, crossings, and simultaneities. I am interested to see in what ways Myrrha’s incestuous desire for her father as well as her metamorphosis into a tree can be “rooted” back to her great-grandfather Pygmalion’s transgressive love for the ivory statue Galatea.
The Practical Past as a Field of Metahistorical Approach. Some Remarks on the Contemporary Situation of Historical Theory
Authors: Kisantal Tamás
Published: December 2019

The narrative theory of history that studies historical works from the viewpoint of their narrative, rhetorical devices, and ideological strategies highly emphasized the necessity of renewing historiography. In his early essays, the trend’s founding father, Hayden White, positioned history between art and science or fiction and reality and defined the role of historical theory as a kind of “critical historiography” that is both a criticism of actual historical works and a prescriptive theoretical approach with which the contemporary historical discipline can reform itself. This renewal basically meant a formal reorganization with which the historical works and the historical discipline itself could come closer to literature by using narrative methods and rhetorical devices of recent literary works and films. However, after the 1990s, White and his followers had to face some radical problems that compelled them to rethink the role of recent historiography and their theoretical positions as well. Firstly, the so-called “new” historiography did not actually come into existence, or at least not in a way they suggested. Secondly, new forms of “unofficial” history, from varieties of public history through conspiracy theories to contemporary historical fictions, forced to reconceptualize the task of historical theory and its approach to the social and ideological functions of “official” history. Analysing some recently published works of this trend (above all, Hayden White’s concept of “modernist event” and his distinction between two forms of the past, theoretical and practical), my essay tries to define the situation of historical theory among the forms of contemporary historical experience.
Development and Research of Information System Elements for Passengers Drive Comfort Improvement
Authors: Zlatev Zlatin , Ivanov Atanas
Published: December 2019

Preliminary theoretical analyzes have been made, which show that heavy acceleration reduces comfort are available. This applies both to the acceleration when starting and stopping. High levels of acceleration are most common when braking. An analysis of passenger comfort based on accelerometer data and a survey was conducted. The speed of travel, the acceleration in the direction of accelerometer X axis, the rotation axis C have a significant influence on the degree of passenger discomfort. The results obtained complement and partly improve those from the available literature with a model using only one linear and one rotary axis, by which the discomfort is described with sufficient accuracy. A regression model has been obtained, which is a suitable basis for building a driver assistance system to provide passenger comfort in public road transport. A model of a “Driver Assistant” microprocessor system based on studies is proposed.

The aim of our study was evaluation of potential antioxidant effects of marigold (Calendula officinalis) extract and assessment of its in vitro impact on the selected quality parameters of bovine spermatozoa. Marigold is medicinal herb from the family Asteraceae native to southern Europe, and it commonly used in pharmacology and medicine. Its well-known positive properties include antioxidant, antibacterial, antiflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, antihelmintic and wound-healing activities. In this study, the flower extracts were subjected to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which identified especially phenolic acids (rosmarinic and chlorogenic acids) and polyphenols (rutin, kaempferol, resveratrol, quercetin and apigenin). These substances are known for their antioxidant activity and protective effects against oxidative stress. For our experiments, 10 samples of semen from sexually mature Holstein bulls were collected on a single day by using an artificial vagina, diluted in physiological saline solution and exposed to solutions with different concentration of marigold flower extract (75, 150 and 300 µg/mL). Selected quality parameters (motility, mitochondrial activity, production of reactive oxygen species – ROS, protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation – LPO) were analyzed after 0, 2 and 24 hours of in vitro culture. The motility evaluation was performed by using the computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) method. This method revealed that 75 and 150 µg/mL extract had positive effects and increased the motility (P<0.01) and mitochondrial activity (P<0.0001) of bovine spermatozoa compared to the control group following 2 and 24 hours. This phenomenon was observed also in case of ROS production, protein oxidation and LPO. Marigold extract concentrations of 75 and 150 µg/mL decreased the levels of ROS, protein oxidation and damage to the membranes caused by LPO compared to the control group (P<0.05; P<0.01) at time 2 and 24 hours. At the same time, 300 µg/mL extract exhibited positive, although less significant, effects compared to 75 and 150 µg/mL extracts. The data acquired from our study confirm that 75 and 150 µg/mL of marigold flower extract have positive effects on the motility and mitochondrial activity of bovine spermatozoa, and decrease ROS generation, LPO and protein oxidation in spermatozoa. Based on our results, the flower extract from marigold could be used for protection against oxidative stress in in vitro cultures of male gametes.
