DERADICALISATION IDEAS IN SOCIAL MEDIA THROUGH THE RELIGIOUS-MULTICULTURAL THERAPY APPROACH TO THE DA'WAH CULTURE
Authors: Hafidzi Anwar
Published: June 2020

This research begins with an understanding of the endemic radicalism of society, not only of the real world, but also of various online social media. This study showed that the avoidance of online radicalism can be stopped as soon as possible by accusing those influenced by the radical radicality of a secular religious approach. The methods used must be assisted in order to achieve balanced understanding (wasathiyah) under the different environmental conditions of the culture through recognizing the meaning of religion. The research tool used is primarily library work and the journal writings by Abu Rokhmad, a terrorist and radicalise specialist. The results of this study are that an approach that supports inclusive ism will avoid the awareness of radicalization through a heart-to-heart approach. This study also shows that radical actors will never cease to argue dramatically until they are able to grasp different views from Islamic law, culture, and families.Keywords: radicalism, deradicalization, multiculturalism, culture, religion, moderate.Penelitian ini berawal dari paham radikalisme yang telah mewabah di masyarakat, bukan hanya di dunia nyata, bahkan sudah menyusup di berbagai media sosial online. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa cara menangkal radikalisme online dapat dilakukan pencegahan sedini mungkin melalui pendekatan konseling religius multikultural terhadap mereka yang terkena paham radikal radikal. Diantara teknik yang digunakan adalah melalui pemahaman tentang konsep agama juga perlu digalakkan agar memunculkan pemahaman yang moderat (wasathiyah) diberbagai keadaan lingkungan masyarakat. Metode yang digunakan untuk penelitian ini adalah library research dengan sumber utama adalah karya dan jurnal karya Abu Rokhmad seorang pakar dalam masalah terorisme dan radikalisme. Temuan penelitian ini adalah paham radikalisasi itu dapat dihentikan dengan pendekatan hati ke hati dengan mengedepankan budaya yang multikultural. Kajian ini juga membuktikan bahwa pelaku paham radikal tidak akan pernah berhenti memberikan argumen radikal kecuali mampu memahami perbedaan pendapat yang bersumber dari syariat Islam, lingkungan sosial, dan keluarga.Kata kunci: radikalisme, deradikalisasi, multikultural, budaya, agama, moderat.

Authors: Ramadhan Gilang
Published: June 2020

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk melihat bentuk kolaborasi dalam memajukan Pertanian di Banten. Kajian menunjukkan penurunan generasi, hal ini disebabkan sektor pertanian bukanlah hal yang menarik untuk dilirik oleh kalangan muda, setidaknya lebih dari 80% petani di Indonesia berusia lebih dari 50 tahun dan umumnya tidak berpendidikan tinggi. Banyak aktor di Banten yang berupaya menginisiasi munculnya pertanian model baru yang dapat menarik anak muda, maka konsep collaborative governance dipakai untuk melihat fenomena ini. Khususnya bagaimana peran fintech sebagai sektor swasta dalam membantu memunculkan dan memberdayakan petani muda di Banten. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif, hal ini digunakan untuk menggambarkan bagaimana peran fintech dalam kemunculan pertanian yang dijalankan anak muda di Banten serta yang menjadi tantangannya (system context) dalam collaborative governance. Hasil dari penelitian ini masih terjadi tumpang tindih peran antara sektor publik, swasta dan masyarakat, bahkan fintech mengaku seperti dihalangi oleh pemerintah, kemudian pembagian peran antar aktor masih belum dapat dirasakan dalam kasus ini.Kata Kunci: Collaborative Governance; Fintech; Petani Muda

Never waste a good crisis – Which work-related COVID-19 changes are here to stay?
Authors: Ebinger Falk , Willems Jurgen
Published: June 2020

Which work-related COVID-19 changes are here to stay? We were able integrate a 9-item scale in the eleventh wave (12 June 2020 – 17 June 2020) of the large-scale data collection process of the Austrian Corona Panel Project . The items for the construct that we analyzed focused on whether respondents were in favor or against particular COVID-related changes in the work environment. Respondents are in general in favor to keep particular COVID-related changes in the working context, such as more flexibility with respect to home office, working hours, and part-time work. Respondent are also in favor for less bureaucratic procedures for sickness leave, and less business trips and outside appointment. However, this should not come with more employer control, nor with increasingly fading boundaries between personal and professional life contexts. These results mainly show the overall challenges for the future of work, where more autonomy and flexibility is desired, but not at the cost of losing a clear delineation between professional and personal contexts. Moreover, women are for several aspects more in favor to keep COVID-related changes, such as keeping distance in the work environment, less business trips, and flexibility with respect to part-time work and home-office. Younger respondents (under 45) are also in favor of less business trips and external appointments, however not as much as respondents above 45. Except for the reduction of business trips and external appointments, no significant differences are reported between employees of the private and the public sectors. This suggest how challenges are similar across these sectors, and both public and private organizations can learn from each other to shape new attractive work environments.

Published: June 2020

Many studies have been developed by the scientific and medical community to learn more about COVID-19. Although studies have advanced, it is common to note that there are still some misconceptions, especially as the information moves from scientific to widespread use in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and especially the population. Thus, the objective of this study was to present the testing process for the detection of SARS-CoV- 2 in the patient, paying attention to the key dates and possible diagnoses. To achieve this goal, a process diagram was founded to establish the path of detection and diagnosis. Also, a table for interpreting the results has been prepared. The results collaborate with a clearer understanding of the diagnostic process and expand the understanding to other areas, mainly those that need binary inputs to contribute to the fight against the virus, such as computing, mathematics, and engineering.

Lattice Nomenclature Survey from LGA to Modern LBM
Authors: Naaktgeboren C , de Andrade Felipe Nascimento
Published: June 2020

Lattice configuration is a core parameter in Lattice-Boltzmann (LB) methods, both from theoretical and implementation standpoints. As LB methods have progressed over the past decades, a variety of lattice configurations have been proposed and referred to according to a plurality of lattice nomenclature systems that usually include the Euclidean space dimensionality, the lattice velocity count and, in fewer instances, the discretization order in their format. This work surveys lattice nomenclature systems, or lattice naming schemes, along the history of LB methods, starting from their Lattice Gas Automata (LGA) predecessor method, up to the present time. Findings include multiple lattice categories, competing naming standards, ambiguous names particularly in higher-order models, naming systems of varying model parameter scopes, and lack of unambiguous naming schemes even for space-filling, Bravais lattice types.
Physics Does It Better: So Why Be Afraid of Philosophy?
Authors: De Fabrizio Livio
Published: June 2020

Physics is the best tool to investigate nature ("physics does it better") and philosophy, far from being a competitor, is a companion in its quest for knowledge ("so why be afraid of philosophy?"). In this article it is observed that the anti-philosophical positions within the modern scientific community come from misconceptions and that scientists can't be "against philosophy". As a conclusion, the expressions "laws of physics" and "laws of nature" are discussed.

Published: June 2020

Communicating emotional intensity plays a vital ecological role because it provides rich and valuable information about the nature of the sender’s behavioral intentions and its likelihood. For example, signalling intense aggression is often followed by attack if receivers fail to retreat. Humans regularly use dynamic facial expression signals to communicate such information. However, how this complex dynamic signalling task is achieved remains unknown. Here, we addressed this question using a perception-based data-driven method to mathematically model the specific dynamic facial movements that classify the six basic emotions—happy, surprise, fear, disgust, anger, and sad—and intensify them, in two distinct cultures (East Asian, Western European; total N = 120 individual receivers). In both cultures, we found that facial expressions represent emotions and their intensity using a specific dynamic compositional structure. Facial movements that intensify emotions systematically peak earlier or later than facial movements that classify emotions and modulate perceptions of intensity via amplitude variations. Further, cross-cultural analysis showed a specific pattern of cultural similarities and differences that reduces overall cross-cultural communication accuracy. Specifically, facial expressions of high threat emotions, such as anger, disgust and fear, have similar emotion intensifiers across cultures, whereas those of low threat emotions, such as happiness and sadness, have similar emotion classifiers across cultures. Together, our results provide new insights into the intricate processes by which facial expressions can achieve complex ecologically important dynamic signalling tasks, revealing the rich information embedded in facial expressions and their pivotal role in interpersonal communication.
PrePrint Version (Edgcumbe, 2020): The developmental trajectory of open-mindedness: from 18 to 87-years of age.
Authors: Edgcumbe Daniel
Published: June 2020

Objectives: The present study examined the role of aging in participants between 18 and 87-years of age on open-mindedness in the Actively Open-minded Thinking (AOT) scale and the Actively Open-minded Thinking about Evidence (AOT-E) scale. Method: The amalgamated data from 12 Amazon Mechanical Turk™ studies was analysed. This included a total of 9010 participants (age: M = 37.30, SD = 14.13 / sex: 4191 males, 4734 females and 85 who did not wish to state their sex). All participants completed the 7-item Actively Open-minded Thinking (AOT) scale, of these participants four-hundred and ninety-one also completed the 8-item Actively Open-minded Thinking about Evidence (AOT-E) scale (age: M = 33.27, SD = 5.78 / sex: 2317 males, 2512 females and 62 who did not wish to state their sex). Results: AOT score positively correlated with AOT-E score (r = 0.27). Age negatively correlated with AOT score (r = -0.11) and AOT-E score (r = -0.13). There was a statistical difference in AOT score between the age ranges of participants (18-28, 29-38, 39-48, 49-58, 59-68 and 69-87 years of age). There was also a difference in AOT-E score between the age ranges of participants too. Discussion: The results showed that open-mindedness as measured by the AOT and AOT-E decreased as a function of aging. In an aging population were more adults work into later age the decrease in open-mindedness could influence many areas of judgments of decision-making.
Adult Bilinguals Outperform Monolinguals in Theory of Mind
Authors: Navarro Ester , Conway Andrew R. A.
Published: June 2020

Theory of mind (ToM) is an essential ability for social competence and communication, and it is necessary for understanding behaviors that differ from our own (Premack and Woodruff, 1978). Research on bilingual children has reported that 3 and 4-year-old bilinguals outperform monolinguals in ToM tasks. While research on ToM has traditionally focused on children’s performance, adult bilinguals’ ToM abilities are largely unexplored. Research suggests that adult bilinguals also might outperform monolinguals (Rubio-Fernandez and Glucksberg, 2012), nevertheless, this difference has yet to be established using a more robust methodology. Here, we tested bilingual and monolingual adults on the director task (Dumontheil, Apperly, & Blakemore, 2010). Results showed that bilingual adults outperformed monolinguals in response to perspective-dependent trials of the director task, but not in response to control trials. This suggests that bilingualism is associated with individuals’ ability to take into account the perspective of another person. In addition, the number of cultures that participants were exposed to, regardless of bilingualism, was also associated with ToM performance. Overall, the findings suggest that linguistic and cultural experience have an impact on ToM.
Averting Repulsion? Body-Directed Self-Disgust and Autobiographical Memory Retrieval
Authors: von Spreckelsen Paula , Wessel Ineke , Glashouwer Klaske A. , de Jong Peter J.
Published: June 2020

The repulsive body image (RBI) describes a schematic representation of the own body marked by body-directed self-disgust and other body image concerns. This RBI may bias autobiographical memory processing towards RBI-congruent memories, which would be expected to be overgeneral, because disgust may promote the avoidance of specific memories. In the current study, women with high (HRBI; n = 61) and low (LRBI; n = 64) RBI levels retrieved memories in response to abstract body-related cue words in a minimal instructions Autobiographical Memory Test. Compared to the LRBI group, the HRBI group recalled a higher number of autobiographical memories that involved appraisals of the own body as disgusting, and reported elevated habitual tendencies to prevent experiencing disgust towards the own body. Neither RBI scores nor tendencies to prevent experiencing body-related disgust were found to be statistically significant predictors of memory specificity. In light of the low memory specificity in the whole sample, more sensitive measures of autobiographical memory specificity may be needed to examine disgust-driven avoidance at the memory level. Nevertheless, the current results may indicate that disgust-related memories and the prevention of experiencing disgust towards the own body could play a role in the persistence of body image concerns.
Who knows best what the next year will hold for you? The validity of direct and personality-based predictions of future life experiences across different perceivers
Authors: Wessels Nele M. , Zimmermann Johannes , Leising Daniel
Published: June 2020

This study explored the validity of person judgments by targets and their acquaintances (“informants”) in longitudinally predicting a broad range of psychologically meaningful life experiences. Judgments were gathered from four sources (targets: N = 189, and three types of informants: N = 1,352), and their relative predictive validity was compared for three types of judgment: direct predictions of future life experiences (e.g., number of new friendships), broad (Big Five) domains (e.g., extraversion), and narrower personality nuances (e.g., sociable). Approximately one year later, the targets’ actual life experiences were retrospectively assessed by targets, and informants nominated by the targets (TNI). Overall, we found evidence for predictive validity across predictor sources and types. Direct predictions by targets were by far the most valid, followed by TNI. Personality-based predictions by targets and TNI had substantial, but lower validity. Domain-based predictions were less valid than nuance-based predictions. Overall, informants with lower “liking” and “knowing” towards targets made less valid predictions. Person-centered multilevel analyses showed both considerable validity of direct predictions (which increased with knowing), and positivity bias (which increased with liking). Taken together, given the relatively high methodological rigor of the study, these results provide an especially realistic picture of the (rather moderate) predictive power of person judgments regarding future life experiences, and corroborate the common practice of obtaining such judgments from targets and their close acquaintances.

Ethnobotany is the study of ethnic plants of particular people living in particular place. It accommodates list, details and description of all those studied plants regarding with their various uses. Tharu people belong to one of the indigenous communities especially in Terai region of Nepal. Tharu people have been using these plant resources since 18th century. This study aims to identify ethnic plants of Tharu community of eastern Nepal and their uses in their daily lives.  Enumeration of useful plants from Tharu ethnic community was conducted in four villages of Ramdhuni municipality of Sunsari district. Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and household sampling technique were used for data collection. Plant specimens were collected and information regarding it was obtained from local Dhamis, Jhankris, farmers and old age people. This study reported thirty-seven useful plant species under 25 families. In total 37 species, 25 were recorded as medicinal plant, used to treat pneumonia, menstrual disorder, stones, piles, skin disease etc. Other plant species were used for food, fodder, timber, fiber and ceremonial/ religious activities. Most plant species (78.3%) were having multiple use value, and kept under more than one use category and few species (21.7%) with single use category. Trees (27.02%) and herbs (27.02%), both were dominant over grass, shrubs, climbers and creepers. This study has revealed that many plants species are being used by Tharu community of Eastern Nepal as their ethnic plants for medicine, food, fodder, ornament, material etc which needs to be more explored.

Published: June 2020

Kiwifruit is one of the leading agriculture commodities having tremendous potential of export to the international market. Nepal offers suitable topography, climate and soil for profitable production of kiwifruit having unique taste, precocity and high nutritive and medicinal values. This study attempts to analyze the production trend, export and import, current scenario and future prospects of kiwifruit in Nepal. Findings shows that the production of kiwifruit is in increasing trend with an average annual growth rate of 46.5% from fiscal year 2014/15 to 2016/17 in Nepal. The commercialization of Nepalese kiwifruit is still in the state of infancy. Even though possessing passable shot in local and the global market, country yet produces small-scale of kiwifruit. The main challenges include inadequate scientific research on kiwifruit, lack of adoption of improved technology, insufficient investment, and poor-quality planting material, unstable prices and profit margins along with inappropriate market channels. Thus, to fortify kiwifruit subsector, it is recommended to focus on strategy of improving kiwifruit productivity with conventional mechanization, improved technology adoption, price intervention, market recognition, establishment of storage and processing centers and diplomatic relations for convenient global marketing.

Published: June 2020

In Nepal, the productivity of maize is very low in comparison with developed countries. The use of hybrid varieties with proper nutrient management helps to unlock the high yielding potential of maize. So, the experiment was conducted at Fulbari, Dang, Nepal from June 30, 2019 to October 16, 2019 to find the yield performance of two maize varieties (Local and Hybrid) under different nutrient management. The study was conducted in factorial randomized complete block design with three replications and eight treatments. Treatments consist of different combinations of two maize varieties (Local and hybrid) and four different nutrient management practices. Significant effects of Nutrient management were observed on plant height, l

eaf area index (LAI), kernels per row, kernels per cob maize, test weight, biological yield, economic yield and harvest index of maize. Similarly, significant effects of varieties was observed on plant height, leaf number, LAI, cob length, kernel rows per cob, kernels per kernel row, kernels per cob maize, test weight, biological yield, economic yield and harvest index of maize. Interaction effect of Nutrient management and varieties was found significant on LAI, kernel rows per cob, kernels per kernel row, kernels per cob maize, test weight, biological yield, economic yield and harvest index of maize. The overall performance of hybrid maize under Leaf color chart (LCC) based nutrient management was found better than other treatments. Therefore, production of Hybrid maize under LCC based nutrient management is suggested.

Authors: Neupane Arjun
Published: June 2020

Moodle is an open source for e-learning system. It is as a tool for delivering contents to students and it is useful to build rich collaborative learning communities. It allows users to be active learners, who actively participate in the online learning process. Based on this background, this study aimed to investigate the students’ views on the use of Moodle in mathematics education. This study gave attention to the variables of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude and students’ self- efficacy in learning mathematics.  Participants of this study consisted of 24 students, who took first and second semester courses at the master's level in Mathematics Education in 2018 batch from Open and Distance Education Center (ODEC), TU. There are 21 male and three female students. Four students were chosen for the interview including one female representative. Data triangulation between the data of interviews, online observation, and interviews with online teachers was used to analyze and analysis of the data. Three online teachers were chosen for interview purposively. The finding revealed that students had a positive perception towards the use of Moodle and were happy to learn mathematics from the online mode rather than the face-to-face mode. It is suggested that the Moodle if used appropriately and systematically, benefits tutors and students equally.

Published: June 2020

This study aimed to explore the knowledge, awareness, and attitude of teachers regarding ASD and educating children with ASD. The research was conducted through a quantitative method utilizing a survey design in this study. Seventy-six teachers from seven special and twelve integrated schools from Kathmandu valley were selected through purposive sampling method. A Likert Scale with a 5-point survey instrument (questionnaire) was created and implemented. The data from the questionnaire were analyzed with descriptive statistics. The result of this study demonstrated that teachers of Nepal have the general idea of ASD but they don't possess in-depth knowledge regarding ASD. In this study, most of the teachers thought that students with ASD should be placed in a special education classroom rather than a general and inclusive classroom. Moreover, Nepalese teachers don’t think they are prepared to educate students with ASD in their classes and also claimed teachers need additional training, seminar and workshop concerning ASD. Furthermore, the teachers of Nepal have limited knowledge, awareness, understanding, attitudes, placement services, and teaching readiness towards ASD. However, they have the basic knowledge and understanding of ASD.

The study areas of anthropology have been growing day by day. Therefore, it has concerned with various parts of society such as sanitation, water supply, poverty, traditional practice, folk music, tourism etc as multidisciplinary areas. In fact, anthropology and tourism are co-evolutionary process in the path of their developments because they help each other in many ways. Traditionally, tourism and tourist are major anthropological sources of information to analyse the situation of then and present society and culture. Similarly, tourist can enjoy visiting any places by learning anthropological knowledge and findings. Methodologically, this is based on field observation, interview and other secondary sources to analyse the scenario. After the introduction of democracy in Nepal, she has been opened to outsiders. As a result, Sir Edmund Hillary as foreigner visited Nepal. Hillary with Tenzing Norgy Sherpa successfully climbed the Mount Everest in 29 May, 1953 at the first time. Then the glorious name of Nepal has become famous in the world. The tourism industries have been initiated from Thamel, Solukhumbo, Pokhara and then gradually extended in other parts of the country. Tourism at present period has popular pursuit in several parts of Nepal involving from hotel, lodge, guide, restaurant, expedition to home stay and other businesses. Lamjung has own identity in tourism perspective. The Ghalegaun is famous in SAARC level as model program for the home stay concept. From perennial snow peaks, biodiversity to natural forest of rhododendron in mountain to hill parts in the north and plain narrow valley in the south to develop cultural lives can be observed there. Lamjung has been enriched in different culture, fest and festivals.

Status of Corporate Social Responsibility Practices in Nepal
Authors: Chapagain Bal Ram
Published: June 2020

Background: Although there has been a significant interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) in recent years, there is lack of adequate studies regarding the status of CSR practices in Nepal. The existing studies generally suffer from the narrow conceptualization of CSR, focus on selected companies or industry sector only and from the relatively small sample size.

Objectives: This paper aims to identify the status of CSR practices in the Nepalese context.

Methods: This study uses questionnaire survey method by taking a sample of 168 listed companies of Nepal representing diverse industry sectors. Descriptive statistics, one-way ANNOVA and t-test have been used to analyze the collected data.

Results: The overall status of CSR practices in Nepal is above the moderate level. The most common CSR practices in Nepal relate to corporate governance as well as customers whereas the least common CSR practices include environment and community related activities. Likewise, level of CSR practices is significantly higher among large firms compared to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). However, there is no significant difference on the status of CSR practices between banking sector and non-banking sector firms.

Conclusions: While the overall status of CSR practices in Nepal is above the moderate level, Nepalese companies are not paying adequate attention on community and environment related issues. The results also indicate that size of the firm tend to affect the level of CSR practices in the Nepalese context though the difference on CSR practices between small and medium sized firms is not statistically significant.

Implications: The government and policy makers may consider giving tax exemption or any other clearly spelled out incentives particularly to the environment and community related CSR activities. Likewise, managers and other stakeholders including the government may focus on identifying and overcoming the barriers for CSR practices among SMEs in Nepal.
The Impact of Remittance on Consumption and Investment: A Case of Province Five of Nepal
Authors: Dhakal Sunita , Oli Sudan Kumar
Published: June 2020

Background: Remittance remains a key source of external resource flows for developing countries. Remittance inflows are the addition of migrant remittance inflow and compensation of employees which include current transfers by migrant workers, with wages and salaries earned by non-resident workers. Remittance is an essential aspect of leveraging remittance to promote economic development. In the context of Nepal, remittance recipient households tend to spend more on consumption, health and education as compared to remittance non-receiving households.

Objective: This study examines the impact of remittances on the consumption and investment in the context of province five of Nepal.

Methods: This study is based on primary sources of data with 570 observations. The primary survey was used to extract the information from the respondents regarding the remittance amount, consumption and investment of individual household from the families of Rupandehi, Dang and Rolpa districts of Nepal whose family member has been working out of country. The regression models are estimated to test the significance and impact of remittances on the investment and consumption. Consumption and investment are the dependent variables. The independent variables are remittance, annual domestic income, household size, family residential area and level of education.

Results: The results show that there is a positive relationship between remittances and consumption. This indicates that higher the amount of money inflow as a remittance, higher would be the consumption. Similarly, there is positive relationship domestic income and consumption which indicates that higher the level of domestic income, higher would be the consumption. Likewise, there is a positive relationship between household size and consumption. It indicates that larger the members in a family, higher would be the consumption. The result also reveals that there is a positive relationship between level of education and consumption. It indicates that higher the level of education, higher would be the consumption.

Conclusion: Remittance has been leading to the consumption and investment behavior of rural household in province five. Remittance followed by family size is the most influencing factors that explain the changes in consumption and investment of families in province five of Nepal.

Implication: This study can be useful to concerned authorities for further planning of proper investment of remittance.

Authors: Sharma Bishnu Prasad , Adhikari Dipak Bahadur
Published: June 2020

Background: The informal economy is an important phenomenon in developing countries. In recent years there has been an increasing policy interest in the informal economy and its poverty dynamics.

Objective: This paper explores the relationship between the informal economy and poverty through literature review of internet based open access resources published from   2000 to 2019.

Method: Many empirical studies in our review have shown that informal employment has a causal impact on household poverty. This paper seeks to evaluate how informal economy through the theoretical lens applied to real world problems and explore the potential value of empirical evidences in progressing new understandings of the linkage between informal economy and poverty.

Findings: Informal economy is the main source of livelihood for marginalized and poor and earnings from this sector have had a strong impact on the household livelihood. It is important that policymakers recognize the informal economy as a positive contribution to poverty, especially in countries where formal economic activities are less in operation.

Conclusions: This study identifies the role of informal economy in poverty dynamics and important policy debates which provide directions to improve the quality and consistency for future research.
Down Eros, Up Mars! Postmęskość w filmach Williama Wylera
Authors: Szczerbakiewicz Rafał
Published: June 2020

The article speaks to the deconstruction of men’s images in William Wyler’s films. One may observe a different paradigm of what is male in the said director’s pacifist trilogy. The alternative masculinity utopias constructed therein are quite awe-inducing due to their emancipatory scope. Friendly Persuasion (1956), The Big Country, and Ben-Hur (1959) are films depicting not only the fight against patriarchal stereotype, but also reaching beyond the restrictions of heteronormativity. The libidal coordinates of the narratives are in sync with biopolitical status of modernity. Surprisingly enough, at the heart of Hollywood some brave cinematic post-masculine projects were developed.

Kurzfassung

Der digitale Wandel ist in aller Munde – auch und gerade im Produk-tionsbereich, welcher als einer der frühen Treiber des Themas (Stichwort Industrie 4.0) gilt. Parallel dazu hat sich im Bereich Projektmanagement in den letzten Jahren ein ursprünglich aus der Softwareentwicklung stammender, neuartiger Ansatz unter den Schlagwörtern „agil“ und „Scrum“ manifestiert. Wie können nun neuartige Digitalisierungsprojekte im traditionell konservativen Produktionsbereich des Maschinen- und Anlagenbaus in der Praxis effizient ein- und umgesetzt werden? Hierzu wird ein Konzept mit einem auf den Produk-tionsbereich angepassten Vorgehen auf Basis des klassischen Projektmanagements unter Zuhilfenahme agiler Methoden aufgezeigt. Dieser hybride Ansatz beinhaltet klare Spielregeln zur Initiierung und Durchführung von entsprechenden Projekten und erhöht somit deren Akzeptanz und Effizienz.

Kurzfassung

Die integrierte Planung und Entwicklung von Produkt-Service Systemen (PSS) und damit verknüpften Geschäftsmodellen (GM) verlangt von produzierenden Unternehmen den Aufbau einer weitreichenden Methodenkompetenz. Durch eine sich schnell verändernde Geschäftswelt sind insbesondere die PSS-Planung und -Entwicklung von Änderungen geprägt. Um auf Änderungen jeglicher Art reagieren zu können, birgt die Integration agiler Methoden in traditionelle Planungs- und Entwicklungsvorgehen weitreichende Potenziale. Die Integration erfordert hierbei vielseitige Anpassungen des Methodenwissens, der zur Verfügung stehenden Ressourcen, der Unternehmenskultur und des Kundenverständnisses hinsichtlich agiler Arbeitsweisen. In diesem Beitrag wird eine Methode entwickelt, die bei der Einführung eines solchen integrierten und agilen Vorgehens zur Planung und Entwicklung von PSS unterstützt und dabei die Entwicklung assoziierter GM mitbetrachtet.

Kurzfassung

Assistenzsysteme zur digitalen Informationsbereitstellung in der Produktion versprechen ein großes Potenzial, Wertschöpfungsprozesse effizienter zu gestalten. Bei der Konzeptionierung solcher Systeme sind sowohl prozessbedingte und datentechnische als auch personalbezogene Aspekte zu berücksichtigen. In diesem Beitrag wird daher ein interdisziplinäres Vorgehensmodell zur Lösungsentwicklung anhand eines Industrieprojekts in einem Unternehmen der zerspanenden Auftragsfertigung aufgezeigt.
ICD-Electrode-Perforation of the Right Ventricle to the Pericardium with and without Pericardial Effusion
Authors: Olesen Line Lisbeth , Olesen Line Lisbeth
Published: June 2020

Two cases are described of iatrogenic traumatic perforation of an ICD electrode through the myocardium
in the right ventricle and to the pericardium. The diagnostic gold standard gated CT was not necessary in
either case. In the first case the lead insertion was difficult, time-consuming, and complicated by the PostCardiac Injury Syndrome and a slowly accumulating hemorrhagic pericardial effusion causing cardiac
tamponade, diagnosed by the clinical picture, elevated CRP, ECG with low voltage and electrical alternans,
chest X-ray revealing enlarged cardiac silhouette and echocardiography a large effusion, treated with
pericardiocentesis and drainage. In the other case there was painful pericardial irritation and extracardiac
pacing and ICD failure with loss of capture, no diagnostic changes in ECG, chest X-ray, and
echocardiography; diagnosed by fluoroscopy during replacement at the lead, which went without
complications and without pericardial effusion.

Milk more leads ranking of product of animal origin consumed of the world for being most complete in natura. It is a deriving product of milks complete interrupta in conditions of hygiene of fed and well rested healthy cows. During the production process they can pass medicines or drugs veterinarians who had been managed to the cows for the control of some illness, as it is the case of the antibiotics that act on responsible microorganisms for the infectious illnesses. The refrigeration and the processings carried through in the laticínios are not capable to eliminate the possible existing antibiotic residues in milk, acquired for the medicine administration veterinarians in treatments of the milk cattle. Beyond intervening with used laboratoriais analyses as routine in laticínios, these residues present risks to the health human being, causing an adverse effect in the intestinal flora, being able to harm its gastromucoprotetora action, beyond propitiating the election of populations of highly resistant bacteria. The present work had as objective to carry through a research of field in six properties located in the city of Aquidabã-If and to evaluate the occurrence of antibiotic residues in samples of milk in natura being used the test TwinSensor BT® in these properties. The application of the questionnaires and collects of the milk samples was carried through in the month of October of 2017. The results of the questionnaire had shown that the proprietors do not know antibiotics for the name of the active principle and yes for the corporate name, the lapsing still is made in the majority for salesmen of farming store and during the use of these medicines the destination of milk is always the commercialization and in regards to analysis of antibiotic residues all the samples had been negative for the tetraciclina and the samples of a property were positive for β-lactâmicos.Resumo em inglês.
