Authors: Hartini Puji , Ernawati Ernawati , Setiadi Hari
Published: September 2021

Background: Assessment is a crucial step for determining whether or not a learning process has been successful. High-order thinking skills are a requirement for learning achievement in the twenty-first century. The goal of this project is to put quantitative evaluation instruments created by Jakarta elementary school teachers to the test. Methods: A mix method is used, which combines descriptive qualitative research with document analysis and quantitative research with instrument testing on reproductive system material, which is then examined using Anates. The participants in this study were eight Jakarta-based grade VI primary school teachers. Results: It demonstrates that teachers' capacity to construct evaluation instruments varies widely. Testing using Anates shows 15% of the questions compiled are valid and 85% invalid, 1 school with strong reliability and 7 other schools are less reliable. The difference shows that 42.5% are accepted and 57.5% are rejected. The level of difficulty showed that as many as 8.75% of the questions were in the very easy category, 18.75% easy, 51.25% moderate, 7.5% difficult and 13.75 very difficult. These results form the basis of the importance of the hierarchy of teacher understanding in depth, especially in relation to the preparation of HOTS-based assessment instruments because the quality of learning success is largely determined by the assessment instrument used. Conclusions: The LOTS and HOTS-based capability instruments made by the teacher at 8 East Dijakarta Elementary Schools have not been maximized and need development by these teachers.

Authors: Palupi Dian , Desi Aryani Riska , Lestari Sri
Published: September 2021

Background: Breadfruit [Artocarpus altilis (Parkinson ex F.A.Zorn) Fosberg] is a versatile plant that can be used by humans. Breadfruit has morphological variations that are thought to be related to anatomical variations that are formed as an adaptation mechanism to survive in a different area. This plant has the ability to live in different altitude ranges, from coastal areas to upland areas. This research was conducted for eight months in areas with altitude ranges of <350 masl, 350-700 masl, and >700 masl in Banyumas, Purbalingga, and Cilacap Regencies. Sampling of plants was carried out randomly selected (purposive random sampling), then described their morphological characteristics. Furthermore, the leaves are made for anatomical preservation to determine the anatomical character. Breadfruit plants that grow at an altitude of less than 350 m above sea level have the characteristics of a higher, larger diameter stem, have a tighter branching, more sap production, a higher number of fruit and have a larger fruit size. The anatomical characteristics of breadfruit plants that grow at an altitude of less than 350 masl have stomata characters that are wider and longer than those of 350-700 masl and > 700 masl. The highest stomata and trichomata density at an altitude > 700 masl. The highest mean cuticle thickness, epidermis, palisade ratio and mesophyll thickness were highest in breadfruit leaves at altitudes <350 masl.

Authors: Sophian Alfi
Published: September 2021

Background:  The goal was to provide information on the use of DNA templates in chicken samples so that the molecular research sampling process may employ feathers instead of hurting the test animals. Method: The sample used consisted of 10 Bangkok chickens which were sampled for young feathers and old feathers and the tips of the feathers. Quantitative techniques by comparing the results of DNA isolation which were analyzed using a nano photometer and then confirmed using real-time PCR with the SYBR green method. Result: The analysis of purity and concentration showed that at the base of young chicken feathers, the average value of purity was at 1,790, with an average value of the concentration of 4,210. At the base of the old feather, the average value of purity was 0.638, with an average concentration value that was not detected. Likewise, at the tip of the feather, the average purity value is 0.894 and the concentration value is not detected. Confirmation tests performed on all samples using the real-time PCR melt curve method showed that all samples were detected with a Tm value of 78.5 for young feathers, 78.5 for old feathers, 79.0 for positive controls and 78.7 for positive controls, while negative controls were not detected. Conclusion: DNA isolation can be carried out at the base of the young feathers, the base of the old feathers and the tips of the feathers.

Published: September 2021

Background: Melanoma is a skin disorder caused by malignant degeneration of the pigment cells melanocytes. The disease is characterized by widespread discoloration with irregular and protruding edges. In treating cancer itself, radiotherapy technology, has been found. It is a method of treating cancer using high-energy radiation rays that are focused on cancerous tissue to kill or stop cancer cell division. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of radiotherapy technology as a treatment solution for melanoma skin cancer. The focuses of the study in this paper are the integumentary system and skin structure, melanoma skin cancer, the body's mechanisms for melanoma skin cancer, and radiotherapy as a treatment method. Methods: The research method used is literature study from various sources, to help understand the problem more deeply and completely. Conclusions: Melanoma, which attacks one of the body's integumentary systems, namely the skin, has a close relationship with homeostatic dysregulation and endocrine damage. However, radiotherapy method can be used to cure melanoma skin cancer by shooting X-rays and damaging the cancer cells and also reducing their spread to other parts of the organs. This method is effective because melanoma skin cancer is localized or has not spread to other organs. However, the use of radiotherapy can also have a negative impact on the body and can give unwanted side effects, so consideration is needed before using this method.

Authors: Cico Jhon Karunia Simamora  , Ellia Septiarahma Rumambi  , Tika Widya Pratiwi  , Ajeng Maula Ningrum  , Taris Zharfan Mias Embau
Published: September 2021

Background: CPO refining which produces solid waste namely spent bleaching earth (SBE) in large quantities can pollute the environment. SBE from bentonite ores contains large amounts of silica, so it can be an alternative source of silica minerals. Silica plays an important role in increasing plant resistance and bioactive plant compound products. Methods: The application of Si in plants can increase secondary metabolites such as phenolic and anti-fungal compounds in response to disease pathogens. However, the low solubility of silica makes silica not sufficiently available for plants. Using microorganisms as silica solubilizing bacteria helps increasing solubility of silica in the soil. Bacteria dissolve silica by removing organic acids and producing indole acetic acid (AAI), which stimulates root hairs. Results: This review presents the results of a study on the utilization of silica-rich SBE waste as a source of available silica for plants with solubilizing method using bacteria to increase plant growth and resistance, as well as increase plant secondary metabolite compounds. Conclusions: The application of silica solubilizing bacteria has been known to play an important role in providing silica for plants, through enzymatic mechanisms, namely the production of organic acids and extracellular polysaccharides.
PREDICTING ON-TIME DELIVERIES IN TRUCKING: A MODEL BASED ON THE WORKING CONDITIONS OF DRIVERS
Authors: Berrones-Sanz Luis
Published: September 2021

Over a period of two years, 26.3 thousand road freight shipments were recorded. The records include information about truckload companies, drivers, and the causes of non-compliance and delays in deliveries. Logistic regression based in working conditions as independent variables was used to predict non-compliance deliveries attributed to cargo drivers. Results show that vehicle type, medical coverage and social security, level of stress, work dissatisfaction, and transit time were strongly associated with out-of-time-delays in deliveries. The proposed model is a promising tool to improve the performance of truckload companies and it may motivate to benefit working conditions of truckers.

SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL DEFENCE FORCE (SANDF) DROPS CHARGES AGAINST HIJAB-WEARING OFFICER: CASE IN POINT SOUTH AFRICA
Authors: Booley Ashraf
Published: September 2021

Over the last few decades, a piece of fabric has become a powerful and divisive symbol worldwide. Since the tragic events of 9/11, this piece of fabric has become a topic of great debate, at local, national, regional and international level. The veil as worn by some Muslim women has assumed iconic proportions around the globe. To some it symbolizes piety to others, oppression. To some it is a rejection of Western morality to others, a rejection of modernity. To some, it is a religious statement supporting Islam as a way of living; to others, a political statement supporting violent Islamists. These disparate attributions exemplify the power of nonverbal communication and support the maxim that words and objects contain no inherent meaning; only people assigned meaning. This article discusses the status of religious rights and freedoms under the South African Constitution. One aspect of this change is the change that has affected the various religions, cultures, and customs in South Africa. It is therefore, viewed by many as a constitution for the people of South Africa which includes a Bill of Rights. Historically speaking, for the very first time since colonialism, all religions were guaranteed the of religion. Furthermore, religions, cultures and languages are deep-rooted in the various constitutional provisions, namely, sections 9(3), 15(1) to (3), 30, 31, 185 and 234 respectively. These constitutional provisions are solidified by section 7 which obliges the state to respect, protect, promote and fulfil the provisions set forth in the Bill of Rights. The article concludes with an argument for the recognition of plurality of religions and religious legal systems in South Africa.
THE COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DOWRY REGULATIONS IN INDONESIA AND MOROCCO LEGISLATIONS
Authors: Trigiyatno Ali
Published: September 2021

This article compares dowry regulations in Indonesia and Morocco. Bearing in mind that Indonesia and Morocco have different characteristics in dowry matter, the regulations are worth comparing for. As understood in Islamic marriages, dowry is an important obligation and must be fulfilled by the bridegroom for the bride. Normative Islamic teaching advocates for dowry that is simple and reasonable, but in practice, sometimes dowry becomes expensive and difficult to be given, and thus, causing unfavorable effects. In addition, dowry also has the potentials to be subjected to disputes between husband and wife if not regulated by legislation in details. The author uses a comparative study of law guided by a normative approach through library research. The main source is the statutes of two countries. Analysis technique used is content analysis. As a result, it is found that with different backgrounds of fiqh school in Indonesia and Morroco-one being strongly influenced by Shāfi‘ī school and the other is influenced by Mālikī school-have similar rules on dowry. The only significant difference is that the Mālikī School and its legislation in Morocco considers dowry as a marriage pillar. Meanwhile, the Shāfi‘ī school and its legislation in Indonesia, even though the dowry is regarded as compulsory, it does not become a condition or a marriage pillar. Other differences are the definition of dowry, regulation of wife’s luggage, lost dowry, defective dowry, introduction of mithil dowry, regulation of dowry disputes before entering the household, and regulation of furniture disputes other than the wife’s luggage.
CONCEPTS AND BASIS OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS IN ISLAMIC GOVERNMENT PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Arifin Zarul , Saliro Sri Sudono
Published: September 2021

After the Muslims spread Islam throughout the universe, the contact of the Muslims with the a‘jam nations had entered a new chapter in international relations. Territorial boundaries displayed in plain sight do not make Muslims limit themselves in interactions between countries. The relationship between Muslims and other nations is inspired by the teachings of Islam itself, which requires Muslims always to maintain peace between Muslims and internal and external Muslims. Islam has laid the foundation of peace in international relations with one main stipulation that Muslims are not allowed even to interfere in the internal affairs of other nations. The methodology used in this research is to use a literature review approach, namely reviewing the literature related to this research. The purpose of this study is to reveal how Islam regulates relations with non-Muslims, both in the territory of Islam and with the region of non-Muslims, as exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad how he established links with the Quraish infidels through the Hudaybiyah agreement and with the other unbelievers such as the agreement contained in the Medina Charter. The results of this study revealed that since the time of the Prophet Muhammad, SAW had taught to have good relations with other nations, and it was passed on by the companions of the Prophet, even regarding today how each country should maintain good relations with other countries and of course it can be profitable for both countries.
A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF CONTEMPORARY AND INNOVATIVE WAQF SOURCES: CASH AND SERVICE WAQF
Authors: Rahmalan Muhammad Tariq , Abu Hussin Mohd Fauzi
Published: September 2021

Waqf has been one of the major sources of public financing in Islamic tradition. Since early Islam, waqf serves the needs of the ummah in various realms, including education, social development and public needs. Traditionally, waqf has been in the form of fixed and tangible assets. Up until recently, cash waqf has been proposed as one of the sources of waqf. On the other hand, there has been also a suggestion to innovate the practices of waqf in order to assure that they meet the current challenging world. One of the new innovatives of funding waqf sources apart from cash waqf is Service Waqf. Giving this background, this paper endevour to do a systematic review analysis of the Service Waqf as well as well established cash waqf practices as innovatie way for diversifying waqf source in Malaysia. In reviewing the topics systematically, this paper gathered all related articles from Emerald Insight, Google Scholars, Jstor, and Scopus databases. Relevant journal articles were being searched via the internet in several database sources using advanced searching features available in those database based on specific keywords. The relevant journals were selected based on the latest findings which had been published between year 2010 until 2020. From the systematic review analysis, 20 journal articles regarding ethical issues in gamification were filtered and selected using PRISMA statement. Findings from this systematic analysis show that issues pertaining to the cash waqf were among the major discourse in the waqf innovation. Much have been emphasised on the waqf management and governance and also the reason waqf application in a institution. Less has been given into the service waqf and its benefits to communities.

The Tale of Khan Tokhtamysh’ Invasion of Moscow: Paradoxes of Regret
Authors: Tufanova Olga A.
Published: September 2021

This article explores specific representation of regret in The Tale of Khan Tokhtamysh’ Invasion of Moscow. While there are two existing versions of this text, a brief version (Simeonovskaya Chronicle, Rogozhskii Chronicler) and an extended version (Novgorodskaya Chronicle 4, Sofiiskaya and Novgorodskaya Karamzinskaya Chronicles), the article focuses on the hitherto understudied brief version. In Simeonovskaya version, different recurrent patterns that underline the main idea of the chronicle and define its pathos, compensate for the minimum of expressive tropes employed in the narrative of the 1382 invasion. The analysis reveals two major motifs — of plundering and burning — that support the author’s main thought: Tokhtamysh’s invasion was a plunder and a terrible destruction that caused massive damage to Moscow and the neighboring towns. Whereas the author of the extended version focuses more on the heroism of the city defenders and laments the cruel death of civil citizens and clergy, the author of the brief chronicle is more concerned with the description of the devastating event itself. The author of the brief version regrets the material damage caused by Tokhtamysh more than he would grieve for the victims. It is possible to explain this peculiarity by turning to earlier chronicles. By the time the brief chronicle of Tokhtamysh invasion was written, Simeonovskaya Chronicle had developed a structural and stylistic pattern describing invasions of the Horde that accentuated motifs of plundering and burning. The recurrence of similar events in a long time-period together with laconic style typical for chronicles resulted in the mentioned specificity: the brief version of the chronicle, following the pattern, puts to the fore regret about the material damage instead of mourning.
On Osip Mandelstam’s Poem “Impressionism”
Authors: Surat Irina Z.
Published: September 2021

This article focuses on Osip Mandelstam’s poem “Impressionism”. The main objective of this work is to analyze the key motifs and images of the poem and to offer an integral, non-contradictory reading of the poem based on its immediate context as well as on the specific features of Mandelstam’s poetics. Mandelstam treated impressionism with great enthusiasm considering it an innovative phenomenon in art; impressionism in its broad meaning most fully corresponded with his idea of the life-giving capacities of art as reflected in this poem. The article discloses the plot of the gradual immersion in the world of an impressionist painting in Mandelstam’s poem. A verse-by-verse analysis of the text complemented by the parallel reading of the fragments of Mandelstam’s prose, and also with impressionist paintings the poet was familiar with as a backdrop, allows me to define the particularities of Mandelstam’s symphonic and solid perception of plastic arts, including impressionist painting. The article shows how the antinomies of Mandelstam’s creative art affect the poetic text. “Impressionism” is not a reflection of specific motifs of particular paintings but a cocreative effort of resurrecting reality in art that Mandelstam thought to be the art’s prime purpose.
The Will in the East Slavic Folklore
Authors: Agapkina Tatyana A.
Published: September 2021

The article explores the concept of the will in the East Slavic folklore. The main criterion for selecting the material is the frequency of the word “will” and corresponding lexical word family in different genres — epics, funeral, recruitment and wedding lamentations, lyrical songs, proverbs, and spiritual poems. The folklore component of the concept of will is considered in the totality of all semantic and plot information, taking into account synonyms, antonyms, epithets, predicates, and associative series related to the word “will” and its derivatives. The words of the lexical word family will reveal a wide range of meanings that generally coincide with the meanings of words in literary languages and dialects. Among them, in most genre projections of the concept of will, there are two poles, one of which collects positive meanings, such as the idea of the will as someone’s own right to choose as well as physical liberty, which is identified with the life itself. The other pole collects negative meanings: the idea of the will as the power of the alien, the older or the stronger one; redundancy of freedom and willfulness up to disobedience and immorality. However, in some genres such bipolarity is broken: in proverbs, negatively assessed meanings of will come to the fore, while spiritual poems render will in negative terms, as a centre of the sinfulness of a person and of the entire profane world.
Japanese Traditions of Oral Storytelling in the Middle Ages
Authors: Sadokova Anastasiya R.
Published: September 2021

Japanese folk culture has long rendered traditions of oral storytelling very important. The article looks at the two main types of storytellers: the kataribe and the biwa hōshi. It aims to not only trace the transformation of the forms of storytelling, but also to analyze the changes in the perception of storytellers in the Japanese tradition. The author deems it important to study the activities and mythological perception of the ancient kataribe storytellers, as well as to look at the new type of storytellers, known as the biwa hōshi, who appeared in the Japanese culture in the 12th–13th centuries. They recited tales of battles and heroes of the old time to the accompaniment of biwa lutes. The article points out that in ancient times, storytellers were not just seen as regular performers. In the minds of people, they possessed special divine knowledge. However, their reputation changed in the Middle Ages with the appearance of stories linking the storytellers to otherworldly the forces and demons. People started seeing oral storytellers as mediums, and any musical instrument was thought to possess special powers. The role of storytellers went beyond that of simple performers. They became an important element of the Japanese concept of coexistence of people, gods, and demonic characters in the same world.
Literary Center of Constructivists on Its Way to the RAPP (From the History of Literary Life at the Turn of the 1920s — 1930s)
Authors: Kornienko Natalia V. , Klementiev Ruslan E.
Published: September 2021

The article examines one of the episodes of the literary struggle of the late 1920s — early 1930s — the history of the entry of the Literary Center of Constructivists (LCC) into the Russian Association of Proletarian Writers (RAPP). At the beginning of 1930, almost all literary groups and associations faced the need to define a new level of interaction with RAPP. LCC, as one of the literary groups closest to RAPP, seemed to have all the prerequisites for a successful association with the RAPP. But in reality, this did not happen. Members of RAPP are suspicious of constructivists; attacks at LCC are becoming more frequent in the press. Always considered a left-wing association, LLC is declared a petty-bourgeois group, with which, despite its disbandment, an irreconcilable struggle is required. This article bears upon not only the periodicals of 1930 but also and mainly upon the hitherto unstudied transcripts and other archival documents of RAPP. New archival materials reveal internal processes of the literary struggle at the turn of the decade, and make it possible to demonstrate how, even after the acceptance of the Constructivists by RAPP, the former continue to be perceived as a hostile group whose past was to always blame them.
Maxim Gorky and the Publishing House of I.P. Ladyzhnikov (Based on Archival Materials)
Authors: Primochkina Natalya N.
Published: September 2021

Based on the hitherto unpublished archival materials, this article examines the history of creation and specific traits of an obscure small Russophone Publishing house of I.P. Ladyzhnikov. It also analyzes the role and the scope of Maxim Gorky’s contribution to the work of this publishing house. It is shown that Gorky was one of the founders of this Berlin-based firm. Not only was he an ideological inspirator of this new business, he also supported it financially. As a result of collective efforts on behalf of Gorky and prominent leaders of the Bolshevik party in 1905, the Russianlanguage publishing house was established abroad. By publishing the works of Gorky and other democratic writers of the Znanie group, it secured their copyright in Europe and America and contributed part of its income to the Bolshevik party funds. In 1905–1912, under the direction of Ladyzhnikov, all new works of Gorky were published by this press. The peak of the Publishing house of I.P. Ladyzhnikov fell upon the most fruitful creative period in the life of the main author of this publishing house — M. Gorky. At the end of 1912 Ladyzhnikov was forced to transfer his business to his partner — B.N. Rubinstein, due to financial difficulties. However, the publishing house continued to exist until 1932. The article examines in detail the lesser-studied postrevolutionary period of the Publishing house of I.P. Ladyzhnikov under the leadership of Rubinstein and demonstrates Rubinstein’s significant participation in the translation and publication of Gorky’s works, including translations and productions of his plays abroad.
Alexey Remizov and Boris Savinkov: A History of Relationship in Letters and Memoirs
Authors: Gracheva Alla M.
Published: September 2021

The article reveals a history of relations between A.M. Remizov and B.V. Savinkov from 1901 to 1924. Their friendly contacts that were established during their Vologda exile were temporarily interrupted by the struggle for the fate of Remizov’s bride, Serafima Dovgello. In the second half of the 1900s, Remizov acted as the maitre of the famous revolutionary and novice writer Savinkov. In the 1910s, their communication was interrupted. Savinkov and Remizov met in 1917 in Petrograd. They disagreed in their attitude towards October Revolution. Their last rapprochement took place in Paris in the early 1920s, when both were going through a difficult period of accommodation to the world of the Russian post-revolutionary emigration. After Savinkov’s death, his image repeatedly appeared in Remizov’s works of the 1925–1940s. The history of their relationship significantly complements the understanding of the parameters of Russian culture at the beginning of the twentieth century. The article is followed up by the first publication of the correspondence between Remizov and Savinkov and obscure memoirs of him by A.M. and S.P. Remizovs.
G. Lelevich in Saratov. From the Chronicle of the Saratov Literary Life of 1926–1928
Authors: Khroustaleva Anna V.
Published: September 2021

Regional groups of proletarian writers are often neglected, thus the data about its exact number and professional compound has not been shown yet. As for the Volga Region the data can illustrate the response to many questions, one of them is why the Saratov Association of Proletarian Writers was the largest in the region, and the second — when the turning point in its history took place. It has been proven that Proletkult, stopped functioning between January and June 1927, and that legally, this organization split up in June. Both processes mentioned in the article were related to the exile of L.G. Kalmanson (G. Lelevich) to Saratov. Since the slow speed of literary processes in regions affected the pace of literary confrontations there as well, it is crucially important to identify the date of birth of the Proletarian Writers Group in every region. There is a high possibility that the later the group was developed, the more it will differ from its Moscow counterpart; that is why we need to focus on the regional data.
The Image of the White Army Agent General Nosovich in the Novella Bread by Alexey N. Tolstoy
Authors: Ganin Andrey V.
Published: September 2021

The article analyzes the image of a historical figure of the White Army agent Nosovich in A.N. Tolstoy’s novella Bread. Former General A.L. Nosovich in Soviet Russia in the spring and summer of 1918 held the post of chief of staff of the North Caucasus Military District, but at the same time was an agent of the White Army and carried out clandestine subversive work. His image in the novel was introduced as an antihero, who was opposed to the shrewd commissar Joseph Stalin. The attitude to Nosovich in the novel is negative. He is shown as a pragmatic and cruel cynic, for whom the aim justifies any means. Tolstoy did not fail to emphasize the connection between Nosovich and the leader of the Red Army Lev D. Trotsky ostracized in the USSR. When creating the character of Nosovich A.N. Tolstoy relied on genuine documents, including the report of Nosovich to the White Army command about his underground work. Tolstoy’s novel contributed to the strengthening of the personality cult of Stalin and the mythology of the history of the Russian Civil War in line with party attitudes. The image of the White Army agent General Nosovich served the same task.
On the Nature of Polytextual Complexes in Literature
Authors: Molchanova Diana A.
Published: September 2021

The article examines polytextual complexes integrated by certain geosocial localization. The aim is to establish theoretical grounds for highlighting and studying these complexes from the standpoint of literary studies. The description and systematization of philological studies in the field of such polytextual complexes as topos texts, or supertexts, allows us to trace the tendency towards a structuralist understanding of the phenomenon on the one hand and a mythopoetic interpretation on the other. Topos texts related by their intertextual and semantic connections are considered as palimpsest semiotic formations, in which individual texts are connected by paradigmatic links with a particular complex of archetypal motifs. The essay seeks to propose a more accurate terminology as a result of the mentioned analysis. It proposes distinguishing intertextual complexes from thematic unities, cycles, and cycloid ensembles relying on the mythopoetic nature of these complexes. Finally, the article gives a definition to the term “megatext” that it introduces.
Oscar Wilde’s Fairy-tale The Selfish Giant in Ellis’s Works: from Dramaturgy to Poetry
Authors: Glukhovskaya Elena A.
Published: September 2021

The article discusses some aspects of the reception of Oscar Wilde’s fairy tale The Selfish Giant by the Russian symbolist poet and translator Ellis (L.L. Kobylinsky; 1879–1947) as reflected in archival sources and memoirs of his contemporaries. Particularly, Ellis’ participation in theatre performances for children and his interest in the forms of juvenile literature are considered within the framework of his overall poetical activities. Among these plays, a piece entitled The Garden of the Giant which is based on Wilde’s tale The Selfish Giant is to be mentioned first and foremost, since Ellis himself attributed great importance to this work making several attempts to publish it separately and even trying to convince a Moscow modernist publishing house Musaget to implement his rather extraordinary plans. The article also attempts to demonstrate that Ellis’ passion for Wilde’s literary heritage can be traced in his own subsequent work as his second collection of verse Argo (1914) proves it. As, I argue, its first section entitled Snuffbox with Music has been developed under the influence of Ellis’ previous work on juvenile performances, which manifests itself in dedications, the texts of the section borrowed from the juvenile plays as well as through the motivic structure of this cycle.
Nikos Kazantzakis’ and Kostas Ouranis’ Travel Writings within the Context of Modern Greek Travelogues
Authors: Bobrova Olga B.
Published: September 2021

Nikos Kazantzakis is one of the most famous Greek authors of the 20th century known primarily for his novels. A significant part of Nikos Kazantzakis’s work is his travel writings. Whereas the novels of Kazantzakis are recognized as canonical Greek literature, it is difficult to pinpoint his travelogues, or Ταξιδεύοντας (Traveling) due to the ambiguity of their critical reception: assessments range from neutral or mildly negative to enthusiastic. Both critical and enthusiastic assessments usually lack in-depth analysis of poetic, thematic, compositional, and stylistic features of the Traveling cycle. This essay is an attempt at a more cogent and motivated assessment of Kazantzakis’s cycle of travel notes and his role in the development of this genre. In contrast to the general view in Greek criticism, I argue that the genre of travelogue had developed for an extended period before Traveling was published and that Kazantzakis’s predecessors and contemporaries had contributed to its development. Among them is Kazantzakis’s contemporary Kostas Ouranis whose work has aspects and features to be found in the later work of Kazantzakis as the comparative analysis of the travel notes by both authors demonstrates.

Published: September 2021

Komunitas hijrah yang diberi nama komunitas Exspreso atau Exs Preman Solo berdiri pada juli tahun 2016 sebagai wadah dengan anggota yang dulunya preman, anak jalanan, pengedar maupun pemakai obat terlarang yang pada akhirnya mereka telah menentukan pilihan hidup untuk kembali kepada jalan yang lurus yang diridhoi Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala. Komunitas ini mengupayakan dan memfasilitasi setiap anggotanya belajar melalui program pemberantasan buta huruf al Qur’an untuk meningkatkan kemampuan tahsin tahfidz sehingga diharapkan tidak salah langkah dalam mempelajari serta mengamalkan Al Qur’an. Minimnya pembina dalam hal ini asatid dan banyaknya anggota yang membutuhkan pendampingan sehingga pengurus yang masih kurang dalam segi kemampuan akan menjadi penyebab kurang maksimalnya upaya peningkatan kemampuan tahsin tahfidz, maka diperlukan pendampingan dengan harapan mampu meningkatkan kemampuan para pengurus dalam peningkatan kemampuan yang dilakukan terhadap anggota, dan dengan harapan kegiatan ini dapat terlaksana secara berkelanjutan agar tercapai tujuan yang diharapkan.

Kata Kunci: Pendampingan, peningkatan tahsin tahfidz, komunitas exs preman Solo.
