Role of Purinergic Receptor P2Y1 in Spatiotemporal Ca2+Dynamics in Astrocytes
Authors: Shigetomi Eiji , Hirayama Yukiho J. , Ikenaka Kazuhiro , Tanaka Kenji F. , Koizumi Schuichi
Published: January 2018

Fine processes of astrocytes enwrap synapses and are well positioned to sense neuronal information via synaptic transmission. In rodents, astrocyte processes sense synaptic transmission via Gq-protein coupled receptors (GqPCR), including the P2Y1 receptor (P2Y1R), to generate Ca2+signals. Astrocytes display numerous spontaneous microdomain Ca2+signals; however, it is not clear whether such signals are due to local synaptic transmission and/or in what timeframe astrocytes sense local synaptic transmission. To ask whether GqPCRs mediate microdomain Ca2+signals, we engineered mice (both sexes) to specifically overexpress P2Y1Rs in astrocytes, and we visualized Ca2+signals via a genetically encoded Ca2+indicator, GCaMP6f, in astrocytes from adult mice. Astrocytes overexpressing P2Y1Rs showed significantly larger Ca2+signals in response to exogenously applied ligand and to repetitive electrical stimulation of axons compared with controls. However, we found no evidence of increased microdomain Ca2+signals. Instead, Ca2+waves appeared and propagated to occupy areas that were up to 80-fold larger than microdomain Ca2+signals. These Ca2+waves accounted for only 2% of total Ca2+events, but they were 1.9-fold larger and 2.9-fold longer in duration than microdomain Ca2+signals at processes. Ca2+waves did not require action potentials for their generation and occurred in a probenecid-sensitive manner, indicating that the endogenous ligand for P2Y1R is elevated independently of synaptic transmission. Our data suggest that spontaneous microdomain Ca2+signals occur independently of P2Y1R activation and that astrocytes may not encode neuronal information in response to synaptic transmission at a point source of neurotransmitter release.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTAstrocytes are thought to enwrap synapses with their processes to receive neuronal information via Gq-protein coupled receptors (GqPCRs). Astrocyte processes display numerous microdomain Ca2+signals that occur spontaneously. To determine whether GqPCRs play a role in microdomain Ca2+signals and the timeframe in which astrocytes sense neuronal information, we engineered mice whose astrocytes specifically overexpress the P2Y1 receptor, a major GqPCR in astrocytes. We found that overexpression of P2Y1 receptors in astrocytes did not increase microdomain Ca2+signals in astrocyte processes but caused Ca2+wavelike signals. Our data indicate that spontaneous microdomain Ca2+signals do not require activation of P2Y1 receptors.

Authors: Anida I. N. , Ismail I. S. , Norbakyah J. S. , Atiq W. H. , Salisa A. R.
Published: January 2018

Driving cycle is essential for researchers and also vehicle developers to study the performance of the vehicle mainly via simulations. However, the driving cycles are not the same for different countries or cities, although they may seem identical. In this paper, several driving cycle data were collected for different routes in Kuala Terengganu city at peak hours which were then split into several micro-trips. A genetic algorithm was used as a procedure for selecting the optimised micro-trip to develop a complete Kuala Terengganu driving cycle. Then, the proposed driving cycle was compared with other existing driving cycles such as Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule, Highway Fuel Economy Test Cycle, Supplemental Federal Test Procedure and Environmental Protection Agency. The proposed complete Kuala Terengganu driving cycle was successfully developed with 10 micro-trips and a total time of 1600s. The results showed that the comparison of percentages error for characteristic parameters for the KT and UDDS driving cycle was the lowest at 161.4 percent compared to others. This indicated that KT driving cycle and UDDS driving cycle is similar to each other as the driving cycle for cities. As a conclusion, the KT driving cycle was successfully obtained using the GA method with all of the percentage error for all parameters of below 10 percent, except for the percentage of cruise time. The results for the comparison also proved that the KT driving cycle is similar to UDDS driving cycle where both are the driving cycle for cities.

Published: January 2018

Dental membranes are commonly used in oral and maxillofacial surgery for the regeneration of small osseous defects. A new synthetic resorbable membrane has recently demonstrated its biocompatibility and bone regeneration capacity in preclinical studies. This membrane is made of poly(D,L-lactic/glycolic acid 85/15), has a bi-layered structure with a dense film to prevent gingival epithelial cell invasion, and a microfibrous layer to support osteogenic cells and bone healing. This membrane completely degrades by hydrolysis in 4 to 6 months without signs of inflammation. Based on this research, a clinical study was conducted to evaluate the safety of the new membrane in guided tissue regeneration (GTR). In total, 26 patients (age: 50.5 ± 12.4, min-max 31–72 years; male/female 42/58%) were operated on at 7 independent private dental practices. Dental surgeons used the membrane together with various bone fillers in GTR for immediate and delayed implant placement (23 cases, 88%) and, to a lesser extent, socket preservation (2 cases, 8%) and alveolar crest augmentation (1 case, 4%). Surgeons reported an easy placement of the membrane (satisfaction index: 3.8/5). Fourteen days postsurgery, 15 patients had no pain while the others declared minimal pain (verbal rating scale: 2.2/10), and none had minor or serious complications related to the membrane. Exposure of the membrane without loosening the biomaterial granules was observed in 3 cases while mucosa healed normally over time. At 4 months postimplantation, no infection or mucosal inflammation was reported, and the overall dentist satisfaction with the clinical performance of the membrane was 4.5/5 on average. This clinical study demonstrated that the new synthetic resorbable membrane is safe for guided bone tissue regeneration in various dental surgery indications.
Transitional Justice Models and Analytic Philosophy: Towards Theory
Authors:   Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Poland), Krotoszyński Michał
Published: January 2018

As an interdisciplinary field of scholarship, transitional justice is still in its pre-theoretical stage, focusing mainly on the case and comparative studies, supported by general considerations concerning justice in the times of transition. To entrench the field as a distinct area of studies, a theory of transitional justice needs to be formulated. The article explores the possibility of making a step towards such a theoretical basis with the use of the tools of analytical philosophy, methodology and legal theory. First, drawing on Leszek Nowak’s procedure of idealisation, three basic models of responses to a painful past are formulated. Then, distinct transitional justice values are attributed to each of the models. Finally, with the use of Jerzy Kmita’s concept of humanistic interpretation, the article seeks to conceptualize the way in which these values – among other factors, such as the need to uphold the rule of law or to preserve the stability of a democratic system – influence the choice of a model of transitional justice response. Thus, the aim of the presented models – which I described in more detail elsewhere (Krotoszyński 2017) – is to provide a sound theoretical basis for some of the fundamental claims formulated in the field of transitional justice.
Transitional Justice in Ongoing Conflicts and Post-War Reconstruction: Reintegrating Donbas into Ukraine
Authors:   University of Łódź (Poland), Lachowski Tomasz
Published: January 2018

The main aim of the paper is to analyse the potential transitional justice mechanisms, directed at reintegration of Donbas, a territory temporarily occupied by pro-Russian separatists, being under the combination of a direct and indirect control of Kremlin, with Ukraine. In the aftermath of the Revolution of Dignity and a remove of ex-President Viktor Yanukovych as a consequence of Euromaidan protests held in Kyiv, in the Winter 2013/14, Ukraine became a state involved in the international armed conflict covering its Eastern provinces as a result of an external aggression of the Russian Federation. Furthermore, since early-2014, Moscow is continuously using pro-Russian militants to form and uphold unrecognised, de facto regimes of the so-called ‘Donetsk’ and ‘Luhansk People’s Republic(s)’ affecting the territorial integrity of the Ukrainian state. It is argued that Kyiv shall take into consideration some of the peace and restoration models applied in similar conflict or post-conflict environments, such as the United Nations Transitional Administration for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium (UNTAES) or the experience of numerous disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) programs, filled with the transitional justice component. Moreover, by emphasising the context of a military (semifrozen) conflict in Eastern Ukraine, the paper is going to shed more light on the possible application of transitional justice tool-kit in the ongoing conflicts scenarios and its potential contribution to the shift from a conflict to the postwar environment.
A Case of Successful Transitional Justice: Fritz Bauer and his Late Recognition in the Federal Republic of Germany
Authors:   University of Łódź (Poland), Gortat Jakub
Published: January 2018

Germany is an example of a country which has been implementing transitional justice for decades and is still active in this field. What is more, contemporary Germans have recently come to terms with their not-so-distant past and their negligence in this area by showing the falsehood, backwardness, and injustice as negative foundations of the young Federal Republic. This article evokes the person of Fritz Bauer, the prosecutor in the state of Hessen. His struggle for human dignity and the memory of his achievements after his death exemplify an accomplished case of transitional justice and the memory of it. During his lifetime he contributed to bringing to trial numerous Nazi criminals, even at the cost of habitual threats and disregard. Forgotten for a few decades, Bauer and his legacy have been recently rediscovered and studied. Eventually, Bauer became a movie character and was finally brought back to the collective memory of Germans. The belated, but a well-deserved wave of popularity of Fritz Bauer in the German culture memory proves that reflections on the transitional justice are still topical and important.
How and Why Do Terrorist Organizations Use the Internet?
Authors:   University of Silesia in Katowice (Poland), Wojtasik Karolina
Published: January 2018

The article gives general characterisation of the ways in which these organizations use modern communication technologies. Currently, every major terrorist organisation maintain robust media wings, which focus on producing videos, publishing magazines and sharing them with the public via the Web. The empirical system of reference is based on the activity of al-Qaeda, her franchise AQAP (al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula) and ISIS (the so-called Islamic State). While analysing the media of terrorist organisations, the Lasswell model was applied. This formula is a standard research procedure used for investigating acts of communication by answering the questions: who, says what, in which channel, to whom, with what effect?. The author also present typology of videos produced by jihadist organisations, characterised the most important and active media actions of terrorist organisations and a typology of recipients of such messages. The article presents a number of reasons why the Internet has become such an important tool for terrorists.
Current Trends in Foreign Trade Theory and Policy
Authors:   Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Poland), W. Puślecki Zdzisław
Published: January 2018

In this research work, Author focus on the current analysis trends in foreign trade theory and policy. Accordance with the foreign trade policy theory further trade liberalisation and improved framework policies would increase trade and promote growth. It must be emphasized that openness to trade is associated with higher incomes and growth and there is the need for new approaches to trade cooperation in light of the forces that are currently re-shaping international business. What indicates the importance and innovativeness of the research is the presentation of the new models of the foreign trade policy and trade interests. First of all, it must underline that in the new theoretical terms in demand for trade policy very important is factor specificity. The low specificity of factors means that factor returns are equalized throughout a region’s economy. On the other hand, some factors are stuck in their present uses; therefore, factor returns are not equalized throughout a region’s economy but are industry specific. The main objective of the research task is to give a comprehensive analysis of current trends in foreign trade theory and policy and in particular models of foreign trade policy, trade interests indicated by export orientation and import sensitivity, foreign trade policy in different types of authoritarian regimes, protectionist pressures in different political system, the level of protectionist pressures, the tendencies to bilateralism in the foreign trade policy. It should be stressed that free trade in itself is not responsible for economic growth, but more significant are the determining macroeconomic stability and increasing investment.
Technological Innovations and International Humanitarian Law: Challenges and Tensions
Authors:   Catholic University of the Vendée – ICES (France), Pomès Eric
Published: January 2018

In recent years, armed conflicts have changed in nature (civil war, ‘terrorism’) and the means used are increasingly technological (robotisation, cyberwar). Faced with these developments, some would claim International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is outdated. While these technological innovations present new challenges in the application of IHL, it still constitutes a relevant legal framework for armed conflicts and the conduct of hostilities. Indeed, the flexibility of IHL allows it to adapt to contemporary conflicts. Therefore, this shows that the statements about its obsolescence are primarily political in nature.
The Development of the Polish Party System: a Perspective of the Parliamentary Elections Results
Authors:   Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce (Poland), Jaskiernia Jerzy
Published: January 2018

The author analyses the dynamics of the Polish party system in the light of the outcomes of the parliamentary elections in the Third Republic of Poland (since 1989). He exposes especially the last element of that evolution – the 2015 parliamentary election. It resulted in the victory of Law and Justice (PiS) party. For the first time in the history of democratic Poland, the victor was able to create a government without having to negotiate with coalition partners. The success of PiS seems to be a result of the combination of several factors. It would be mistaken to portray an emerging situation as a simple rightist win. PiS to some extent represents a social attitude, typical for the socialist (social-democratic) parties, with some part of the program including a populist message, but with the combination of a conservative approach to several issues and nationalistic stand on a perception of patriotic mood. The important meaning has a support of PiS by the Catholic Church, especially at the grass-roots level. The victory of PiS and forming of the majority government have an important meaning for the functioning of the political parties’ system in Poland. For the first time since 1989, there were not balancing of power situation which the coalition governments have brought about. The political parties, creating the opposition in parliament, must offer a new strategy of behaviour in such circumstances, especially dealing with challenging the PiS policy to compromise a democratic system based on the 1997 Constitution, e.g. division of power, position of the Constitutional Tribunal and functioning of the judiciary

Non-linear elastic model incorporating temperature effects
Authors: Liu Hong , Liu Hanlong , Xiao Yang , Chen Qingsheng , Gao Yufeng , Peng Jing
Published: January 2018

The objective of this paper is to present a non-linear elastic model, considering temperature effects, that engineers can readily use to predict the mechanical behaviours of soils in geotechnical applications. Instead of using hyperbolic and exponential models, a non-linear equation is first formatted to describe the tangent moduli for saturated clays by introducing only one additional parameter (i.e. θ). By extending the non-linear equation, a new simplified non-linear elastic model is obtained that is capable of capturing well the stress–strain relationship of saturated clays at room temperature. Thereafter, based on experimental results, the relationships between cohesion, internal friction angle, index, tangent bulk modulus and temperature are developed and incorporated in the non-linear elastic model. A revised semi-regression method is also developed to determine the relationship between the additional model parameter θ and temperature. In this model, all of the eight parameters for the model have clear physical meanings and could be readily obtained by performing temperature-controlled triaxial tests. The accuracy and general applicability of the proposed method was checked by comparing its predictions with experimental results on saturated clay under various stress-path and temperature conditions as well as existing solutions proposed elsewhere.

The objective is to determine the differences in the technique of the in-run position execution at the beginning of take-off by junior ski-jumpers of different qualification (sports training).Materials and methods. The participants in the study were 22 junior ski-jumpers aged 14-16 (a group of junior ski-jumpers) performing during the Ukrainian Ski-Jumping Championship (October 9, 2010, Vorokhta, Ukraine). The correlation analysis thereof established the relations between the jump length and the angular parameters: in the ankle joint, knee joint, hip joint, and pelvis joint, which condition the positional relationship of the body joints and the position of the ski-jumper at the beginningof take-off. Results. The study established the correlation relations between the jump length and the angular parameters that condition the horizontal positioning of the body. The correlation coefficient for the jump length at the inclination angle of the segment of the straigt line passing through the axes of the ankle and shoulder joints to the direction of the skier’s movement is r=–0.563 (p = 0.006), and that at the inclination angle of the segment of the straight line passing through the general center of body weight and the axis of the ankle joint to the direction of the skier’s movement is r= –0.355 (p = 0.105).Conclusions. A position of lowly groupping at the beginning of the take-off allows to improve the sporting result. The study established the correlation between the jump length and the angle, particularly in the ankle joint, to be r= –0.2244 (p = 0.274), in the knee joint — r= –0.165 (p = 0.464), in the hip joint —r= –0.127 (p = 0.574). It determined the statistically reliable differences in the parameters of the body position at the beginning of the take-off on the jump ramp (p <0.05).

Published: January 2018

The objective is to determine the influence of the physical exercises modes on effectiveness of motor skills development in 5th-7th grade girls. Materials and methods. The study involved 5th grade girls (n = 28), 6th grade girls (n = 28) and 7th grade girls (n = 24). To solve the tasks set, the study relied on general scientific and special research methods, methods of mathematical experiment-planning.Studying the influence of different variants of the educational process structure, namely: the number of repetitions (x1) and the rest intervals (x2) on acquisition of the technique of physical exercises performance, provided for achieving the objective. A full 22 type factorial experiment was conducted. The 5th-7th graders were divided into training groups according to the experiment plan. In total, there were twelve experimental groups organized, four in each class.Results. The analysis of the regression equations shows that the rest interval between repetitions (x2) has the greatest influence on teaching 5th-7th grade girls physical exercises, with the number of repetitions (x1) being of somewhat less significant influence. The relation between these factors (x1x2) has a considerable weight in teaching to “rope climb in two or three sets” and to do a “pullover mount with a swing of one and a push-off with the other leg”.Conclusions. To increase the effectiveness of teaching 5th-7th grade girls physical exercises, the number of repetitions in throwing exercises should be increased to twelve times, and the rest interval reduced to 60 seconds. In the 7th grade, the number of repetitions should be reduced to six times, and the rest interval – to 60 seconds. The rest intervals in the exercises: “pullover mount with a swing of one and a push-off with the other leg” and “rope climbing in two or three sets”, should be reduced to 60 seconds and the number of repetitions – to six.
Aspek Islam dalam Turisme Kolonial di Jawa

Published: January 2018

Despite some vital and interwoven cultural elements of the colonial Dutch East-Indies, the existence of Islam has never been brought up as part of the local culture. Since Islam in the colony was perceived with prejudice, the colonial government considered that it was not important to mark the contribution of Islam in the culture of the Indies. The paper reveals that there has been little information published by the colonial travel bureau on the Islamic spiritual aspects, despite the fact that there were some records written by foreign tourists who were interested in the practice of Islam. The tourist bureau favored Islamic architecture and featured the Hindu influence on Islam
Wilayah Perbatasan Kalimantan Barat: Sumber Sejarah dan Permasalahannya
Authors: Marihandono Djoko
Published: January 2018

The research deals with the region in the two-area Kalimantan/Borneo border with Malaysia; in the east, Nunukan, and in the west, Entikong. The border problem rises when a geopolitical interest of Indonesia and Malaysia overwhelms the traditional ways of farming and trade that have existed even before the British and Dutch colonial governments executed their administrative systems by dividing them into security and prosperity belts, despite the existing active roles of local authorities to manage their resources. Now, the heritage of the rich natural resources and the mobile population, becomes a major issue of dispute. The available resources, such as fish, coal and gold; crops, such as chocolate, nutmeg and rubber; prospective reservation areas for tourism, such as the Indonesian national parks in Danau Sentarum, Gunung Niut, and Betung Karihun, become a vulnerable target for exploitation. These crucial zones have been a part of an intricate interwoven eco-region. The paper uses the colonial British and Dutch archieves and other literature to describe the historic conflict of interest for exploitation and extraction of the resources, and the post-independent sources which talked about the endless Malaysian intrusions faced by the Indonesian government.

Published: January 2018

An American philosopher, Thomas Samuel Kuhn (1922-1996) in his books, The Structure of Scientific Revolution (1962) and The Essential Tension; Selected Studies in Scientific Tradition and Change (1977) poses a paradigm of a universal foundation of science which uses a common fact, method, language and criteria. He does not think that even in the realm of the natural sciences, there are differences, more so that there is a paradigm in the humanities including the arts and literature. Kuhn, however, has established a new paradigm for the philosophy of science which he called “the sociology of science” or a social construction, which now is popular as a constructive paradigm. It is developed in the Critical Theory of Adorno, Horkheimer, and Habermas, and in the Postmodern Theory of Lyotard, Derrida, Foucault, and Baudrillard. The paradigm of the social-political and cultural discourses of the seventies, has developed from structuralism of Saussure and Levi Strauss to post-structuralism or deconstructionism of Jacques Derrida and Paul de Mann referring to contemporary or postmodern era. It rejects stable understanding, logocentrism, antibinary, and gives readers ways to understand a text. The methods used is interpretative paradigm, such as philology, Marxist, new historicism, structuralism, psychoanalysis, theory of acceptance, semiotics, deconstruction, and discourse analysis.
Dinamika “Timur” dan “Barat” dalam Tokoh Boonyi Kaul Noman dalam Shalimar The ClownKarya Salman Rushdie
Authors: Arumsari Chysanti
Published: January 2018

As the concepts of “West” and “East are not only recognized in area studies, they are also known in the study of culture. Both concepts represent a culture, of which they are not always in agreement, but are often opposition, one against another. Shalimar the Clown, a novel by Salman Rushdie presents “West” and “East” using India for its main background. The research analysizes Boonyi Kaul Noman, one of the main characters, who shook the dichotomi of West against East within the paradigms of Orientalism and Occidentalism. The discussion on the construction of East defines the relationship between the locality and role of Boonyi in the family and in the society. At the same time, the construction of “West” covers the analysis of opinion, life and role of the main character. The cultural approach and Edward Said’s theory on Orientalism-Occidentalism (1978) are applied to analize and break the dynamic of the concepts of “East” and “West.”

Published: January 2018

Since terrorism in Indonesia was associated to Moslem extremists, news regarding Islam has been mostly associated with those two aspects. In results, the concern of researches related to Islam in media only focuses on terrorism issue. Providing this background, this research is aimed to raise the issue related to Moslems and the Chinese minority in Indonesia, specifically in the celebration of Chinese New Year 2013 which is associated with Islamic issue. The data of this research are two newspaper articles. The first article is written by a journalist working for Agence France Presse (AFP) as the foreign media. Meanwhile, the other is written by The Jakarta Post which is the national media. The pivotal theory applied in this research is Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) by Norman Fairclough. This theory comprises of two notions of analysis namely communicative event analysis and order of discourse analysis. Orientalism theory by Edward W. Said regarding the self and the other is also applied to analyze the socio-cultural context of the data. In this case, AFP represents the self, while The Jakarta Post is the other. After conducting thorough analysis, the findings disclose that the self represents Indonesian Islam negatively. In contrast, the other represents Indonesian Islam objectively
Fulla’s and Barbie’s Images in Relation to Women’s Beauty and Cultural Difference

Published: January 2018

Most people know Barbie, a doll that conveys some values about culture and about the concept of women’s beauty. However, Barbie only represents one specific culture, which is Western culture. Different with Western culture, Eastern culture needs a doll who can represent their values. Then, Fulla
appears as the representative of Eastern beauty. Fulla conveys some values about Eastern culture and about the new concept of women’s beauty which are different from Barbie. Fulla’s appearance here is thought can emphasize the cultural differences among the society, but it can give another choice to shape people’s new thought about the beauty of Eastern culture. Using Said’s orientalism will help the writer to support the arguments about Eastern culture that can be an equal competitor to Western culture nowadays.

Published: January 2018

The history of Malay language has been going through a long way. Kridalaksana (1991:5) divided the development period of Malay language into four: the Melayu Kuna era (the 7th-14th century CE), the Melayu Klasik/Tengahan era (the 14th-18th), the Melayu Peralihan era (the 19th), and the Melayu Baru era (the 20th century). The Betawi language is the only Malay language that existed in Java Island. Dullaurier, as quoted by Hollander (1983;1984), said that the Malay language is divided into two groups: Malay language Malaka accent and Betawi accent (Muhadjir, 1999:21). In this research, the script of Lakon Jaka Sukara became the data source to find the characteristic features of Malay Betawi language syntax that is written in the script. Lakon Jaka Sukara is one of the scripts assumed to have been written by the Betawi people. In this case, the script of Lakon Jaka Sukara will be analyzed in its syntactic pattern. The research of the Betawi language writing variety, especially the ancient script has rarely been done. That case became important for this research to be conducted. After seeing the whole script, there is syntactic patterns that became the characteristic features of the writing variety of the Betawi language. That syntactic pattern is that there is construction property or possessive phrase, collocation [kasi], [beri], or [kerja] that is followed by verbs, construction [apa] that is followed by nouns, construction [barang] that is followed by [di mana], construction [pun] that is in front of male pronouns, and construction [pun] that is on the back of female pronouns.

This paper discusses about socio-psychological dimension in paintings pictured in Orhan Pamuk’s novel My Name is Red. The novel shows us fi ne examples about how paintings can be a media of painters who lived in a repressive era of Sultan Murat III which established rigid rules adopted from Islamic principles of how a painting should be done. This idea manifested in the characters’ behaviour, especially Velijan Eff endi, who hold the Islamic or East principles, but dilemmatically fond of Western principles as an aesthetic way of painting. This kind of dilemma born from the presence of East and West principles intertwined in Turkey at the era pictured in the novel. Results determined that Velijan
Eff endi is narcistic as a result of his needs to be acknowledged, to exist in his repressed life. He uses his paintings as the media of expressing his needs.

Isu Tubuh Perempuan dalam Post terkait NoBra Day Melalui Sudut Pandang Feminisme Posmodern
Authors: Nonga Putri Margarita Febrica
Published: January 2018

Woman’s body is an issue in No Bra Day movement in the social media, basically, mobilizes female netizens to fight breast cancer together by taking off their bras for a day. As it started globally on October 13th, 2013, this movement attracts pro and contra reaction. The responses are linked by the use of related hash tags. As exposing women’s body to the public sphere considered as uncommon, this movement is oftentimes underestimated. On the contrary, this movement brings a new meaning on woman’s body. This encoded meaning cannot be absorbed thoroughly by the female netizens because of the patriarchal construction. The achieved meaning cannot be one hundred percent as it aims to. Furthermore, the decoded meaning still shows the affirmation to patriarchal order. As a media product, the reception theory of Stuart Hall and postmodern feminism of Luce Irigaray are used to examine the new meaning interpreted and reflected in the responses, which also show the affirmation or even internalization to the patriarchal order.
A Himantoglossum adriaticum Baumann új előfordulásai a Kelet-Zalai-dombságban
Authors: Óvári Miklós
Published: January 2018

Az elmúlt években a ritka adriai sallangvirág (Himantoglossum adriaticum) 5 új elő­fordulását találtam a Kelet-Zalai-dombságban. A növény új megjelenései az ismert elterjedési területen belül esnek, ám a termőhelyi viszonyok a korábbi hazai előfordulásoktól eltérnek. Egy-egy lelőhelyen általában csak magányos példányokat észleltem, főként néhány évtizede még művelés alatt álló szőlőül­tetvények helyén kialakult másodlagos, mezofil gyepekben. Úgy tűnik a faj – hasonlóan például Szlové­niához – nálunk is terjedőben van.

ResumoO filme Lua de Fel (Bitter Moon) (1992) apresenta as ligações obscuras entre os casais. A trama perpassa a linha do subjetivo, num jogo perverso entre o aspecto estético e o ético. Neste texto, traçaremos considerações acerca do filme, cuja trama expõe relações erótico-amorosas em suas complexidades. Dois casais, em um luxuoso cruzeiro. Um, britânico, em segunda Lua de Mel, numa tentativa de aquecer o casamento de sete anos que apresenta sinais de cansaço e desânimo; outro, americano, em uma espécie de relacionamento doentio e sádico, diverte-se a provocar o casal modelo que, à primeira vista, parece ser conservador. Nossa análise focará primeiro, a paixão arrebatadora, a delicadeza do envolvimento; em seguida, o desgaste, a perda do desejo, o sadismo, a fragilidade das relações encobertas e rejeitadas para uns, escancaradas para outros. Segundo, enfocaremos planos adequados que deram ênfase e veracidade aos conflitos e jogos de sedução. Estudos sobre erotismo, paixão, amor, nos guiaram para uma das tantas leituras instigadoras que a película incita.AbstractThe film Lua de Fel (Bitter Moon) (1992) presents the obscure links between couples.

Contextualism in Mosque Architecture: Bridging the Social and Political Divide
Authors: Rasdi Mohammad Tajuddin Mohd
Published: January 2018

The expression of architecture in mosques in the non-Muslim worlds may have added to the problem of alienization of Muslims to the host community. The Muslim community has misunderstood the idea of ‘sacredness’ of form in allowing revivalistic foreign traditional architectural language to be part of the mosque architectural language. This sets up the mosque being totally not in context with the surrounding urban fabric. This paper outlines the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad about the importance of being part of a larger society of man and even to love all man regardless of their faith. Hence, this paper puts forward the position that mosque designers must rethink their design ideas towards the values of inclusivity in Islam.
