MENELISIK KONSEP BID’AH DALAM PERSPEKTIF HADIS
Authors: Araby Muhammad
Published: June 2017

In a hadith, Prophet Muhammad Saw said, “every bid’ah is a going astray.” Some people understand that the bid’ah in the hadith is anything new in Islam which is never done by the Prophet. This paper attempts to probe the concept of bid’ah in the hadith. After searching several books of hadiths, apparently there are some cases that occurred during the period companions of the Prophet and afterwards in which showing the companion’s creativity in worship, but the worship (practice) has never been done by the Prophet and had never been ordered to do. Nevertheless, the Prophet accepted it and gave it high appreciation since the new things were in accordance to Islamic teachings. On the other hand, there was also something new in religious matters conducted by some companions. Because it contradicts the teachings of Islam, the Prophet refused and banned it.
GAGASAN KHALED ABU FADL TENTANG “ISLAM MODERAT VERSUS ISLAM PURITAN (PERSPEKTIF SOSIOLOGI PENGETAHUAN)
Authors: Rusli Rusli
Published: June 2017

The spread of the Islamic puritan movements, which have beeninfluenced by Wahhabism and Salafism, is not positive for Muslimsocieties. According to Abu al-Fadl, the role of moderate Islam tocounter those movements is very important. The main purpose of themoderate Islam project is to establish a strong civil society based ontolerance and respect for human rights. To do this, the moderate Islamtakes the moral values such as equality, justice, and protection of humanlife as the foundation of Islamic law. Therefore, if one finds acontradiction between the literal meaning of religious texts and the basicmoral values, the latter should be prioritized. Moreover, to interpretreligious texts, one does not only need religious traditional knowledge,but also modern social sciences and humanities.
PERAN STRATEGIS FILSAFAT ISLAM DALAM PENGEMBANGAN KAJIAN PSIKOLOGI ISLAM

Published: June 2017

This article tries to explore the strategic role of Islamicphilosophy in developing psychological studies. There are two ways todevelop psychological studies. First, studies based on Islamic tradition,and second studies based on modern psychology. The former is usuallycalled “Islamic psychology” which is based on traditional Islamicknowledge like Islamic philosophy and Sufism, while the latter is called“psychology of Islam” which is based on certain elements of modernpsychology considered in line with Islamic values. In fact, both kinds ofpsychological studies are important if we want to put Islam andpsychology together.

The study of ethics as a philosophical subject has been rare in Islamic tradi-tion compared to other subjects. It is in this context that a study of ethicscontained in Ibn al-Muqaffa’s Kalîlah wa Dimnah is very important. ForIbn al-Muqaffa’, the position of ethics is higher than religion itself. Thus,one should do a good thing, even though religion does not command it. Heargues that to live a life in accordance with moral values will lead a personto happiness and dignity. It is significant that he uses fables to communi-cate his ethical ideas. Through fables, he can persuade people to use not onlyreason, but also emotion and imagination, to understand ethics.

In modern philosophy, the discourse on the border of knowledge has devel-oped, especially when positivism has become a dominant paradigm. Infact the roots of its epistemological problems can be found in ImmanuelKant’s theory of knowledge. Kant’s view of the conditions of possibility ofhuman mind eventually leads to a dogma that what can be investigated isonly the phenomena. This dogma has become the basis for positivism toestablish the knowledge border.

THE IMPACT OF VIDEO- MAKING ACTIVITIES ON STUDENTS’ GRAMMAR MASTERY
Authors: Mufidah Nida
Published: June 2017

ABSTRACTThe teaching of grammar is frequently uninteresting so most of students are reluctant to learn this subject. Inviting them to learn the grammar by incorporating the use of technology may become a new way to attract their attention. In the present research, the writer conducted a research to compare the impact of grammar instructions on two classes, which used two different techniques to teach grammar: conventional method and video-making activities (VMA). There were 51 students of English Department at State Institute for Islamic Studies who participated in the research. The data were collected by using a test to measure their grammar mastery and a questionnaire to understand their respond toward the method. The result showed that the students who were taught by using the VMA had no better grammar mastery compared to those who were taught using the conventional method. However, the result of questionnaire yielded that most of the students agreed that the VMA was fun and interesting. This activity, according to them, also promoted creativity and technology literacy.Keywords: Video-Making Activities (VMA), Experimental Study, Grammar Mastery,
Implant Patient Compliance Varies by Periodontal Treatment History
Authors: Zeza Blerina , Pilloni Andrea , Tatakis Dimitris N. , Mariotti Angelo , Di Tanna Gian Luca , Mongardini Claudio
Published: June 2017

Background: This retrospective study aims to assess compliance to supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) among patients treated with dental implants with different periodontitis histories and the possible influence of their compliance on peri‐implant marginal bone level.

Methods: Dental records of 106 patients treated with at least one dental implant were reviewed. A single operator who did not provide care to the patients recorded the following during the first year of implant function (first year of follow‐up), during the first 5 years of follow‐up, and during the entire follow‐up duration: 1) number of recalls; 2) compliance, calculated from registered attendance; 3) periodontal disease history; 4) peri‐implant radiographic bone level from most recent examination; and 5) clinical parameters including probing depth and bleeding on probing. Clinical and radiographic parameters were assessed at site level and analyzed for possible associations among them and with demographic parameters.

Results: Collected data were based on 156 implants with an average of 6.5 ± 3.4 years (range: 1 to 13 years) in function. Patients with periodontitis history demonstrated greater compliance than patients without periodontitis history during the two longer follow‐up times. Over time, the majority of patients demonstrated partial compliance (71% to 80% of patients). Peri‐implant bone level averaged 0.9 ± 1.1 mm, without significant association with compliance level; however, positive periodontitis history and more years in function were significantly associated with greater peri‐implant bone loss.

Conclusions: Patients with implants partially comply with scheduled SPT, regardless of periodontitis history. Patients who had received periodontal treatment demonstrated better compliance than those without prior periodontal therapy experiences.

Published: June 2017

Background: The objective of this cross‐sectional study is to investigate levels of salivary and serum matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)‐9, myeloperoxidase (MPO), neutrophil elastase (NE), and MMP‐9/tissue inhibitor of MMP‐1 (TIMP)‐1 ratio in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and systemically healthy controls in the presence or absence of gingivitis.

Methods: Serum and salivary levels of these biomarkers were evaluated in the following: 1) periodontally healthy women with PCOS (n = 45); 2) women with PCOS and gingivitis (n = 35); 3) systemically and periodontally healthy women (n = 25); and 4) systemically healthy women with gingivitis (n = 20). Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine levels of these biomarkers. A full‐mouth clinical periodontal evaluation was performed for each patient.

Results: Salivary MMP‐9 and NE levels, as well as MMP‐9/TIMP‐1 ratios, were higher in the systemically healthy women with gingivitis compared with periodontally healthy women with PCOS (P <0.001; P <0.01; and P <0.0001, respectively). Serum MMP‐9 and MPO levels were higher in women with PCOS and gingivitis compared with periodontally healthy women with PCOS (P <0.05). Serum MMP‐9 levels were lower in healthy women with gingivitis than systemically and periodontally healthy women or women with PCOS and gingivitis (P <0.05). PCOS groups exhibited a positive correlation among clinical periodontal parameters and serum MMP‐9 levels or salivary MPO, NE levels, and MMP‐9/MMP‐1 ratio. Correlation was negative among clinical periodontal parameters and serum MMP‐9 levels and MMP‐9/TIMP‐1 ratio in systemically healthy patients (P <0.05).

Conclusions: The present findings emphasize that PCOS and gingival inflammation are associated with each other, as evidenced by salivary and serum levels of neutrophilic enzymes. This interaction may contribute to the perturbation of ovarian remodeling in PCOS.
MicroRNA‐126 Regulates Inflammatory Cytokine Secretion in Human Gingival Fibroblasts Under High Glucose via Targeting Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Associated Factor 6
Authors: Wu Yi , Song Li‐Ting , Li Jia‐Shan , Zhu Dong‐Wang , Jiang Shao‐Yun , Deng Jia‐Yin
Published: June 2017

Background: MicroRNAs (miRs) play a crucial role in inflammatory diseases, including periodontitis. Meanwhile, miRs act as biomarkers for predicting diabetes mellitus (DM). However, the regulatory mechanism of miR‐126 on development of periodontitis in patients with DM still remains unclear.

Methods: Human gingival fibroblasts were cultured with low (5.5 mmol/L), medium (15 mmol/L), and high (25 mmol/L) glucose, respectively. Expressions of miR‐126, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor associated factor (TRAF) 6, and related cytokines were analyzed by real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). After transfection with miR‐126 mimic, PCR and western blot were performed to detect level of TRAF6, and luciferase reporter assay confirmed if TRAF6 is the direct target of miR‐126. Production of cytokines was measured using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay.

Results: Increased glucose significantly suppressed miR‐126 expression in human gingival fibroblasts (P <0.05). Also, high glucose increased TRAF6, interleukin (IL)‐6, TNF‐α, and chemical chemokine ligand (CCL) 2 levels, whereas it decreased IL‐10 level. MiR‐126 mimic significantly decreased TRAF6 mRNA and protein levels under high glucose (P <0.05). Also, miR‐126 directly targeted TRAF6 through binding to its 3′ untranslated region in human gingival fibroblasts. Overexpression of miR‐126 significantly abrogated high glucose–induced secretion of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL‐6, TNF‐α, and CCL2 and promoted production of IL‐10.

Conclusion: These data suggest that miR‐126 inhibits inflammation of human gingival fibroblasts under high glucose through targeting TRAF6, which may be a potential therapeutic target for periodontitis concomitant with DM.

Durante o primeiro quarto do século XIX, o Brasil recebeu a vista de diversos viajantes naturalistas que adentravam regiões até então pouco ou nada conhecidas pelas demais nações europeias. Ao percorrerem as províncias do interior, estes cientistas vão se deparar não somente com uma natureza ainda pouco estudada, como também com diversos povos indígenas em diferentes estágios de aproximação com as frentes de colonização. Dentre os viajantes naturalistas do primeiro quarto do século XIX, este estudo se propõe a analisar a produção de listas de palavras por Emmanuel Pohl (1782-1834) e Auguste de Saint-Hilaire (1779-1853), que realizaram sua viagem científica pelo território brasileiro quase ao mesmo tempo, inclusive percorrendo trechos comuns. Estes dois naturalistas são também os responsáveis pelos únicos registros linguísticos conhecidos dos Cayapó do Sul, do aldeamento de São José de Mossâmedes, Goiás.

Two-Factor Authentication and Its Adaptation to Online Education Systems
Authors: Karakaş Elif , Öztozlu İlhan , Erol Volkan
Published: June 2017

This study examines the evolution of the two-factor authentication method and its adaptability to the online education system. Two-factor authentication is a security measure used especially in areas where information such as banking is valuable. Parallel to technological developments, it has developed as much as daily. It aims to take security one step forward because it is composed of two phases. Today, banking, IOT devices, public transport tickets and many other areas are used. Two-factor authentication methods against security attacks in the field of information are also being updated. In recent years, new technologies such as biometric (iris pattern, retinal pattern, etc.) or behavioral biometry (location tracking, walking information, touch speed etc.) were studied. Instead of physically studying somewhere like going to a course in modern society, online trainings become more advantageous. Most of these online trainings are given certificates such as participation certificate, success certificate, etc. The main problem here is whether the person who is being certified is true. In the study conducted in line with these details, there is a proposal for the application of the Mimic Control Method with Sound Intensity (MCMSI) method for on-line training by examining the two-factor authentication techniques up to the day.

ABSTRACT

The enactment of Law Number 46 of 2009 about Corruption Court, is authorized to examine and decide the crime of corruption cases proposedby KPK or Prosecutor (State and High). Based on Article 35 paragraph (1) jo paragraph (4) of Law Number 46 of 2009, confirmed that corruption courts (TIPIKOR courts) are only located in each provincial capital whose jurisdiction covers the province concerned. By this provision, the Prosecutor Office in each district/city must transfer the corruption cases to the Corruption Court in the provincial capital. There are the problems as the following: first one, Is the process of criminal justice in the archipelago province like East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) able to fulfill the judicial principle of quick, low cost and simple?; second one, Is this condition not an obstacle in the process of criminal law enforcement in NTT?; The result of this research is that the Corruption Court in Kupang, conducted by several Prosecutor Offices, the samples do not meet the judicial principles of quick, low costs and simple. The obstacles besides spending much expenses, there are other factors such as weather, intentionally neglect the obligation as the experts, witnesses due to long time and high expenses.  Law enforcement becomes less maximal due to the existing budget, and it can only be done by a minimal law enforcement process with a fairly expensive cost.

The concepts of health and energy have perhaps never been as popular—or pursued/coveted— as they are now. With market rivalries becoming an intense affair, brand strategists and marketers are eager to refresh their brand’s positioning and image. The focus on functional health benefits has allowed India to become the world’s largest market for malt-based hot drinks with US$1.1 billion in 2015 retail sales, with room for additional growth. In addition to health-oriented marketing initiatives, growth of malt-based hot drinks in India has been aided by a young population, growing knowledge of health and nutrition, and an increase in income. Primary objective behind conducting this research is to find out at what extent television advertisements impact on customer’s buying behavior for the ‘health drinks making milk richer of children’s’ in the area of Vadodara city. Descriptive single cross sectional research design was selected for conducting this research in the area Vadodara city. Sample of 200 were chosen for conducting this research. For more effective and accurate result, Stratified Random Sampling method was used as a sampling technique. Different statistical tools were applied to analyze the data. Research reveals that; television advertisement has substantial influence on children’s and their papers. This will affect the moving product desire from one brand to another.

Authors: Rostiana Otih , Haryudin Wawan , Darajat Jajat
Published: June 2017

Rehabilitasi dan ekstensifikasi pertanaman jambu mete di sentra produksi merupakan program strategis untuk meningkatkan produksi nasional. Menteri Pertanian sudah melepas sembilan varietas unggul jambu mete nasional. Dalam pelaksanaannya, program rehabilitasi dan ekstensifikasi masih terkendala oleh terbatasnya jumlah benih unggul karena sistem penyebarannya masih belum tertata secara baik. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengidentifikasi dan mengevaluasi penyebaran benih varietas unggul jambu mete di sentra produksi Kawasan Timur dan Barat Indonesia. Data primer diperoleh melalui survei lapangan secara sengaja (purposive random sampling) di beberapa lokasi calon kebun sumber benih, sedangkan data tentang penyebaran, asal-usul populasi dan penciri/karakteristik utama calon sumber benih jambu mete diperoleh berdasarkan desk study. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kesembilan varietas unggul jambu mete nasional, sebagian besar berasal dari hasil seleksi populasi pertanaman jambu mete milik petani di beberapa lokasi pengembangan mete. Penyebaran varietas unggul jambu mete tersebut mengikuti minat petani dan kondisi lingkungan yang sesuai dengan daerah pengembangannya yang baru. Varietas unggul yang banyak dikembangkan di Wilayah Timur Indonesia (NTT, NTB, Sulawesi Tenggara dan Maluku Utara) adalah keturunan dari populasi Muna dan MPF 1, sedangkan di Wilayah Barat Indonesia adalah keturunan varietas Meteor YK. Kemurnian benih dari calon kebun benih jambu mete perlu dimonitor mutunya karena jambu mete sifatnya menyerbuk silang. Selain itu, untuk menjamin ketersediaan benih sumber jambu mete berkelanjutan, setiap sentra produksi harus membangun kebun induk terbarukan karena blok penghasil tinggi jambu mete yang ada saat ini sudah tua dan produksinya akan terus menurun.

Essential oil, such as citronella, lemongrass, ageratum, and clove are known to be toxic and repel certain pests. Mixing two or more essential oils are expected increasing their insecticidal properties.  The experiments aimed to examine the effect of essential oils mixtures (EOs) on mortalities and oviposition deterrents of Crocidolomia pavonana and Helopeltis antonii. The experiments were conducted at the laboratory and green house of the Indonesian Spices and Medicinal Crops Research Institute. The tested mixtures were citronella and clove (CiC); lemongrass and clove (LC); ageratum and clove (AC); individual EO; control 1 (water + emulsifier); control 2 (water) at 0.5% concentration for all treatments. The ratio used were 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 2:1 and 4:1. Parameters observed were the mortalities of C. pavonana larvae and H. antonii nymphs; and the ovipositions deterrents of both insects. The CiC and LC mixtures gave low mortality (<50%) to C. pavonana larvae, while AC at ratios 1:1, 1:2,1:4 less than 20%, AC 2:1 and 4:1 >60% and the individual ageratum oil caused 77.5% mortalities. The CiC 1:1 and LC (1:1, 1:2, and 4:1) showed >40% mortalities of     H. antonii, whereas the AC in all ratios enhanced the nymph mortalities. The number of eggs laid by C. pavonana at CiC and LC in all ratios were around 50-60% lower than individual EO. The mixture of AC 1:4 and 4:1 produced eggs nearly 50% lower than clove treatment. The CiC and LC at 1:1 produced the lowest numbers of egg laid by H. antonii, while AC 1:4 reduced 70% eggs laid compared to individual EO.

Formation of Transboundary System of the Victims’ of Motor Vehicle Accidents ProtectionSummaryThe regulations applying to m otor liability insurance have a considerable significance in the European law. The system of „green cards” was introduced to facilitate the fulfilment of claims in accidents caused by a motorist in a M em ber State other than that in which the vehicle is registered. This system ensures the payment of compensation to victims of accidents caused by visiting vehicles through a private-sector network of Green Card Bureaux set up by the insurers and established in all the M em ber States. Nevertheless, a significant gap has still remained: the original aim was to eliminate border controls on insurance, however the „green card” system covered only victims who were injured in their home country. it did not apply to the fulfilment of claims when the accident took place outside the victim’s residing country (so-called ‘visiting victims’). This gap was filled by the Fourth M otor Directive, which, amongst other things, provides for an efficient mechanism for recovering a damage caused by such accidents.Such mechanism has two objectives: to ensure that „visiting victims” are quickly compensated, and to set up an efficient system o f compensation that keeps legal costs at a m inim um . it is now proposed to extend this settlement mechanism to all accidents, regardless o f the victim’s residence. The Commission adopted a Proposal for a Fifth Motor Insurance Directive to improve the protection of victims.

PROVISIONS PROHIBITING A PARTY TO A CIVIL LIABILITY INSURANCE CONTRACT FROM PERFORMING DECLARATORY ACTS IN THE LEGISISLATIONS OF THE MEMBER STATESSummaryAt the m om ent of the insurance occurence a stage o f cooperation, in a broad sense, comes into existence between the parties of a civil liability insurance contract. Its aim is not only a defense against a debt but also against fixing it at an excessive level.An insurance agency, which is actually threatened with an obligation to pay damages, imposes additional duties on the other party. The main duties are the following: a ban on fulfilling the injured party’s claims on his own, concluding a settlement or adm itting the claims. The aim of these bans is protection against overhasty decisions and statements of the insured person as well as against the unfairness o f an entity being in collusion with the injured party which may deliberately mislead the insurer in order to get excessive damages. In some instances the insured party may be led by compassion or regret or act under the influence o f strong emotions justified by the circumstances of the accident. Independently of the intentions of the insured, an insurance agency’s liability has an accessorial nature; it is responsible w ithin the same scope as the insured.The topic of this article are the provisions prohibiting the insured from declaratory actions w ithout a prior consent o f the isnsurance agency. Although they are on principle applied in all European law systems, they are not uniform. My analysis regards the solutions of French and German law as well as in the com m on law system; Polish accession to European U nion makes it necssary not only to prom ote our own practice but also to familiarise with the experience of foreign legislations.

Dimensión heterotopológica de la regulación contable. Perspectivas críticas sobre gobierno corporativo y regulación
Authors: Franco Ruiz Rafael Antonio
Published: June 2017

Se establece la relación entre gobierno corporativo, responsabilidad social y regulación contable en las organizaciones, identificando las fuentes de influencia en el conjunto de reglas de estructura y funcionamiento que constituyen tal gobierno. Se identifican influencias externas a la organización, como la legislación, elementos derivados de la teoría del régimen internacional en la contabilidad y factores internos como el compromiso de la gestión para apalancar sus propios objetivos. Estas influencias originan problemas de convergencia/divergencia para reconocer e incorporar reglas y riesgos en procesos de adopción, como un mecanismo de sustitución de la normatividad interna de las naciones en relación con normas de derecho internacional o teoría del régimen internacional, porque están ancladas en factores institucionales y de legitimidad que agencian diversos intereses, determinando tensiones irreconciliables en el marco de pensamientos monológicos, requiriendo concepciones de tipo heterotopológicas para construir soluciones. A partir de la crítica de los enfoques actuales se presenta una alternativa regulativa centrada en la pluralidad, en reconocer la diversidad, en contravía del pensamiento único, aportando una solución compleja para simplificar la construcción instrumental de estructuras contamétricas.

Background

Pregnancy is associated with various forms of thrombotic microangiopathy, including hemolytic uremic syndrome. A previous small French study suggested that pregnancy-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome was to be included in the spectrum of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome linked to complement alternative pathway dysregulation.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

We sought to retrospectively analyze the presentation, outcome, and frequency of complement alternative pathway gene variants in a larger international (France, United Kingdom, Italy) cohort of patients with pregnancy-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome.

Results

Eighty-seven patients with pregnancy-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome were included. Hemolytic uremic syndrome occurred mainly during the first pregnancy (58%) and in the postpartum period (76%). At diagnosis, 56 (71%) patients required dialysis. Fifty-six (78%) patients underwent plasma exchanges, 21 (41%) received plasma infusions, and four (5%) received eculizumab. During follow-up (mean duration of 7.2 years), 41 (53%) patients reached ESRD, 15 (19%) had CKD, and 18 (28%) patients experienced hemolytic uremic syndrome relapse. Twenty-four patients (27%) received a kidney transplant and a recurrence of hemolytic uremic syndrome occurred in 13 (54%) patients. Variants in complement genes were detected in 49 (56%) patients, mainly in the CFH (30%) and CFI genes (9%).

Conclusions

Pregnancy-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome nonrelated to pregnancy have the same severity at onset and during follow-up and the same frequency of complement gene variants.
Natureza, paisagem e representação na fotografia de Claudia Jaguaribe
Authors: Gonçalves Fernando Nascimento
Published: June 2017

Este artigo discute a construção das imagens de natureza nas fotografias de paisagem da artista visual Claudia Jaguaribe. Para tanto, o texto analisará cinco trabalhos da série “Quando eu vi” (2007-2008), por meio dos quais observaremos os procedimentos realizados pela artista para construir suas imagens e problematizar a noção de “natureza” e de “paisagem”. Os questionamentos da artista inscrevem-se nas discussões realizadas atualmente na arte contemporânea, onde a fotografia é tratada como artefato e a paisagem, mais do que simplesmente resultado de um processo de documentar lugares e coisas, um dispositivo conceitual que modula nossas percepções e relações com os espaços naturais e construídos.
TV Social: contribuição para a delimitação do conceito
Authors: Fechine Yvana
Published: June 2017

A denominação “TV Social” vem sendo empregada para designar um conjunto variado de fenômenos que envolvem, genericamente, comentários sobre conteúdos televisivos por meio de redes sociais digitais. É preciso, no entanto, caracterizar e delimitar melhor este conceito frente aos distintos modos de articulação entre televisão e Internet e às diferentes manifestações da cultura participativa no ambiente de convergência. Propomo-nos, neste artigo, a tratar a TV Social como uma prática interacional fundada numa conversação em rede e em ato em torno de conteúdos televisivos por meio de plataformas/tecnologias interativas, atreladas a estratégias das indústrias televisiva e/ou de desenvolvimento de softwares, capazes de proporcionar a experiência de assistir junto a algo, a partir de um modo de presença produzido pelo compartilhamento desses conteúdos em uma mesma temporalidade.
Classes Sociais nos Estudos de Recepção: notas sobre teses e dissertações defendidas entre 2010 e 2014
Authors: Grohmann Rafael
Published: June 2017

O artigo traz uma análise de 16 teses e dissertações defendidas em programas de pós-graduação em comunicação no Brasil que utilizaram a categoria de classe social em um estudo de recepção entre os anos de 2010 e 2014. A partir dessa seleção, foi realizada uma bibliometria dos trabalhos e uma análise de cunho qualitativo, de forma a compreender como os conceitos de “recepção” e “classe” apareceram nos trabalhos, procurando refletir questões de ordem teórica e metodológica que impactam os estudos de recepção e, de maneira geral, o próprio campo da comunicação.
Optimal synthesis of the worm-lever mechanism for humanoid robots shrug
Authors: Pencic Marko , Cavic Maja , Borovac Branislav
Published: June 2017

Emotions represent a significant means of nonverbal communication and their expression represents an important aspect of social robots functionality. There are two basic ways of expressing emotions. The first one is based on facial expressions that can be realized by moving a particular part of face or by displaying a picture on the screen that represents a face with characteristic features such as eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth. Combining them is also possible. The second way of nonverbal communication is based on gestures, especially using arms. This paper presents an optimal synthesis of shrug mechanism for humanoid robots. Based on the set requirements the worm-lever mechanism is proposed. It has 1 DOF and enables simultaneous shrug of both shoulders. It consists of a worm which is meshed with two worm gears having different directions of rotation and two four-bar lever mechanisms whose input links are rigidly connected to the worm gears. Based on the kinematic-dynamic analysis the dynamic model is formed, the objective function is defined, the constraints are prescribed and the optimal synthesis is performed. The maximum torque on the input link of the lever mechanism, the driving torque of the complete worm-lever mechanism, the range of transmission angle and the rotation range of the worm gears are determined. The lever mechanism has high efficiency in all positions because the transmission angle has a high value during the whole movement. The worm mechanism enables a significant reduction of driving torque and has acceptable efficiency. The rotation range of the worm gear is small ? the mechanism movement is very quick and therefore the shrug speed is large, which was the basic requirement for realization.

Exocytosis of the hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) by the intestinal L cell is essential for the incretin effect after nutrient ingestion and is critical for the actions of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors that enhance GLP-1 levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Two-photon microscopy revealed that exocytosis of GLP-1 is biphasic, with a first peak at 1–6 min and a second peak at 7–12 min after stimulation with forskolin. Approximately 75% of the exocytotic events were represented by compound granule fusion, and the remainder were accounted for by full fusion of single granules under basal and stimulated conditions. The core SNARE protein syntaxin-1a (syn1a) was expressed by murine ileal L cells. At the single L-cell level, first-phase forskolin-induced exocytosis was reduced to basal (P < 0.05) and second-phase exocytosis abolished (P < 0.05) by syn1a knockout. L cells from intestinal-epithelial syn1a–deficient mice demonstrated a 63% reduction in forskolin-induced GLP-1 release in vitro (P < 0.001) and a 23% reduction in oral glucose–stimulated GLP-1 secretion (P < 0.05) in association with impairments in glucose-stimulated insulin release (by 60%; P < 0.01) and glucose tolerance (by 20%; P < 0.01). The findings identify an exquisite mechanism of metered secretory output that precisely regulates release of the incretin hormone GLP-1 and hence insulin secretion after a meal.

Movilización y modernidad en el Medio Oriente
Authors: Pastor de Maria y Campos Camila
Published: June 2017

Las movilizaciones actuales en el Medio Oriente están ancladas en las transformaciones que resultaron de la participación de la región en la construcción de una modernidad global institucional, productiva e ideológica. En este artículo se explora el surgimiento de nuevos actores sociales en la región y los movimientos sociales que han propiciado, proponiendo o resistiendo reformas al Estado y al orden público desde las últimas décadas del momento otomano, durante el periodo de los mandatos y más allá del pacto social poscolonial. La modernidad otomana se caracterizó por intensos debates y el surgimiento de nuevas actividades y espacios públicos, que permitieron la movilización de actores nuevos y establecidos; debates que fueron suspendidos, por la fuerza, por las administraciones mandatarias y sus colaboradores. El proceso de descolonización, a mediados del siglo xx, y la ola de revoluciones que se desencadenó, llevaron al poder en gran parte de la región a sectores históricamente marginales. Ellos, a su vez, institucionalizaron sus propias visiones del bien común, e instauraron un pacto social poscolonial que defendía la construcción de aparatos de Estado autoritarios y militarizados. Se hace un repaso crítico de las formas que ha tomado la movilización en la región en las últimas décadas: el paisaje social y las dinámicas de organización que han dado pie a las revueltas y las revoluciones que observamos hoy día. Finalmente, se presenta una discusión de la cobertura mediática de los levantamientos en la prensa árabe e internacional en línea, y se señalan sinergias y discontinuidades, evidenciadas en la interpretación de la participación de las mujeres en las revueltas y la presencia islamista en los procesos de consolidación posrevolucionaria.
Desertores y refugiados norcoreanos: entre la agonía incesante y la esperanza
Authors: López Aymes Juan Felipe
Published: June 2017

En la actualidad, alrededor de 25 000 norcoreanos residen en Corea del Sur tras haber literalmente escapado de su país natal. Es posible que a simple vista no parezca un número importante dada la experiencia en otras latitudes. Lo significativo de este número es lo reciente del fenómeno (en 2001 había aproximadamente 1 500 y unos 300 llegaron entre 1993 y 1998) y, principalmente, sus rasgos cualitativos.
El puño suena igual en todo el mundo: cantando el abuso doméstico en México y Tanzania
Authors: Rosenberg Aaron Louis
Published: June 2017

Uno de los aspectos más problemáticos de la violencia contra las mujeres en contextos domésticos es la presencia de culturas del silencio que rodean y esconden estas acciones reprobables. La canción popular es una respuesta que constituye un intento de poner en evidencia la realidad del abuso doméstico en foros públicos y activos. No se puede decir de manera categórica que esta expresión artística será capaz de detener la violencia intergénero; no obstante, como declaración pública difundida en forma de oralidad primaria y secundaria, la canción popular se nutre de fuentes de difusión muy amplias que pueden tener un efecto emocional e íntimo. Por lo tanto, es apropiado considerarla una poderosa forma artística de exploración y discusión sobre la violencia destructiva contra las mujeres en varias sociedades.

“The Women of Ancient Egypt”: vida y obra de Ella Satterthwait, pionera en el continente americano de los estudios sobre la mujer egipcia antigua
Authors: Castañeda Reyes José Carlos
Published: June 2017

Ella Satterthwait (1884-1940) fue una de las primeras egiptólogas en Estados Unidos, y en la Universidad de Chicago en particular, y probablemente la primera mujer en el continente americano en investigar el tema de “las mujeres en el Egipto antiguo”. Su tesis de maestría analizó los principales aspectos en torno de esta temática. Su director de tesis muy probablemente fue el egiptólogo James Henry Breasted, que acababa de regresar de su trabajo de campo en Egipto y que por diversas  circunstancias —profesionales y personales— tuvo que permanecer en Chicago después de su importante trabajo de exploración en Egipto. Ella escribió, de hecho, un artículo especializado —de acuerdo con los parámetros actuales—, el cual fue una importante contribución para el estudio de este tema; su metodología y conclusiones son muy similares a los de estudios posteriores. Ella no pudo continuar con su formación como una egiptóloga profesional; su “microhistoria” de vida es un buen ejemplo acerca de las dificultades que las mujeres en Estados Unidos y en otros países enfrentaban al principio del siglo xx para dejar atrás la “mística femenina” o el “ideal femenil” y desenvolverse en la academia o en la vida diaria.
