Published: June 2020

Southwest Sumba Regency is located in the Banda Arc area. Its position which is very close to the subduction area in the south of Indonesia caused a lot of tectonic activity and earthquake hazard. The arrangement of alluvium, coral, and thick deposits on the island of Sumba makes it prone to earthquake strengthening. Zoning of soil characters using site effects and DSHA method was carried out to determine the danger level of strengthening the Southwest Sumba Regency. Zoning of the site effect soil character uses microtremor data which is correlated with seismic hazard analysis to obtain the PGA values on bedrock and ground surface using the closest earthquake source. The area is dominated by Class 2 and 3 lands (f0 worth 1.333 - 5 Hz) according to the Kanai Classification (1983), with an amplification predominance of 3.8-8.3 times. This indicates that the research area is dominated by thick sediment deposits. The PGA value obtained from the DSHA method is known that Southwest Sumba Regency has a PGA soil of 0.075-0.19 g and a bedrock PGA of 0.067-0.085 g using earthquake record data in Sumba Subduction and Timor Subduction. With PGA estimation, it is known that the level of earthquake disaster vulnerability is high, located in the south of Southwest Sumba Regency which is suspected to be composed of thick sediments and close to the Sumba Subduction and Timor Subduction.Keywords: Site effect, predominant frequency, amplification, earthquake, DSHA, PGA

Islam and National Law: A Formal Legal Review on Sharia Laws in Aceh
Authors: Rani Faisal A , Fikri Fikri , Mahfud Mahfud
Published: June 2020

The implementation of sharia in Aceh has gone through a democratic process subscribed by the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Nevertheless, some observers consider it problematic. Against this backdrop, this article discusses the principles of the formalization of sharia into positive law and further concretely analyses the case of formalization of sharia in Aceh. Employing a normative approach on research of law, this article shows that the principles of sharia codified in the qanuns of Aceh are grounded on the Qurʾān and the Sunna. The formalization of the sharia into the qanuns has gone through democracy and complies with the Indonesian law. Those qanuns contain regulations on ʿaqīda, muʿāmala, Islamic convocation, and Islamic criminal law.
Philosophical Sufism and Legal Culture in Nusantara: An Epistemological Review
Authors: Wasitaatmadja Fokky Fuad , Susetio Wasis
Published: June 2020

A research on the relation between sufism, sharia, and the local culture is essential for some reasons. First, Islamic philosophy and customary law (or the law of the peoples) are perceived as opposing each other. Second, Islamic philosophy, also in Geertz’s theory, regards Islam merely as the structure of religious orthodoxy. Third: the structure of Islamic orthodoxy, often portrayed as a highly rigid one, is often (seen as) conflicting with sufism in the world of Islamic scholarship. This paper aims to determine the dynamic relation between the spiritual values ​​of Sufism and traditional values ​​surviving in the so-called Nusantara legal culture. It also elaborates on the extent to which a distinct epistemology typical to sufism may contribute to enriching the cultural space of Nusantara law. As normative legal research, this paper employs the principle of legal culture developed by Lawrence M. Friedman. It concludes that the spiritual values ​​of sufism are not conflicting with the principles of Islamic jurisprudence. It would also argue that the construction of Nusantara legal culture has a unique character resulted from dynamic interaction of traditional values, on the one hand, and sufism on the other.

Balkanlı müttefiklerin Osmanlı Devleti’ne karşı açtığı I. Balkan Harbi’nde kaybedilen Edirne ve Kırkkilise, yaklaşık dört ay sürecince Bulgarlar tarafından işgal edilmiş, bu işgalin sonlandırılması II. Balkan Harbi’yle mümkün olabilmiştir. Osmanlı Devleti 1913 yılının Temmuz ayında bu şehirleri geri alarak bölgede hâkimiyetini yeniden tesis etmeyi başarmıştır. Edirne ve civarının geri alınmasından sonra buraya, gerek bölgenin Osmanlı Devleti ve İslam dünyasının ayrılmaz bir parçası olduğunu vurgulamak, gerekse bölge ahalisine maddi ve manevi destek olmak maksadıyla pek çok seyahat düzenlenmiştir. Bu seyahatlerden bir tanesi, Veliaht Yusuf İzzeddin Efendi’nin Şehzade Ziyaeddin Efendi ile birlikte gerçekleştirdiği ziyarettir. 28 Temmuz 1913’te İstanbul’dan hareket eden ikili önce Edirne’yi, ardından Kırkkilise’yi ziyaret ederek işgal sonrası durumu yerinde gözlemlemiş, yerel ahaliyle bir araya gelmiş, askerî kuvvetleri denetlemiş, fukaraya bağışta bulunmuştur. Veliaht ve şehzadenin bu seyahati, işgalden henüz kurtarılan şehir sakinlerini oldukça memnun etmiş, halk veliahdı görmenin mutluluğunu yaşamıştır. Hanedan mensuplarının kısa süren bu ziyareti 1 Ağustos 1913’te son bulmuştur.

The large-scale vegetation maps of the western coast of Peter the Great Bay (Far East, the Sea of Japan)
Authors: Osipov S. V. , Verkholat V. P.
Published: June 2020

Two territories on the western coast of Peter the Great Bay were mapped in the large scale. The geobotanical mapping means revealing and displaying the essential regularities of vegetation cover. Both the spatial and temporal regularities of vegetation under natural and anthropogenic influences are well pronounced in the territory under consideration.

The concept of the vegetation spatial unit (vegetation complexes) was applied as a basis for mapping. The maps and their legend were worked out as a system of vegetation combination types (vegetation combination is a spatial unit of the supracoenotic level). Such categories, as vegetation of tops and slopes, lowlands and river valleys, sea coasts reflect maximal contrasts in vegetation cover, so they are the highest level divisions of the map legend. Types of succession series and stages of series are developed for construction of the second and third levels of the legend. Communities, similar in ecotope, total species composition, saplings and some other characteristics, are referred to one type of series. 5 types of series have been distinguished: dry, fresh, moist, very moist, wet. The main factor of dynamics in considered territory is fire and the series are mainly pyrogeneous. Series are presented as sequences of vegetation stages. The vegetation stages for tops and slopes are: closed low forest — open low woodland — shrub thicket with saplings — meadow with saplings, for lowlands and river valleys they are: open low woodland — thicket of saplings — meadow or mire with saplings.
Planning in mathematics teaching – a varied, emotional process influenced by others
Authors: Grundén Helena
Published: June 2020

Planning is an essential part of teachers’ work that has consequences for students’ learning. However, previous research shows that what it means to plan vary. To explore the meaning of planning from teachers’ point of view, and to open up for planning as a situated and emotional process, an interview study with Swedish mathematics teachers was conducted. In the analysis, the theoretical concepts, meaning, and emotions were used as analytical tools to fill the gap identified in the review of previous research about planning.  Findings reveal planning as a varied process in which teachers draw on different resources. Actors other than teachers influence both how planning is done and the mathematics teaching that is planned for. Findings also reveal that feelings, such as joy, shame, and insufficiency, are present in the process of planning. These feelings sometimes have consequences for decisions teachers make about their mathematics teaching.

LITERATURE AS THE REPRESENTATION OF REAL WORLD
Authors: Muliadi Muliadi
Published: June 2020

If literate works, including novel as one of them, were subjected to a precision scrutiny, we may find that they attempt to represent the image of the real -world. This representation was quite evident when we tried to describe plot, character and personification, setting, language style, and theme of the novel. Novel was a literate work trying to disclose the image of the real -world. The selected novel in this paper was Novel Saman, and this selection was made after considering few factors. It was the best-seller novel in 1998 and it successfully won the Romance Contest held by Jakarta’s House of Art. This novel is also considered as innovative in theme it conveys and also in setting and language it uses. By such reasons, it must be reliable to put this novel (Novel Saman) under discussion and to perceive it as the representation of image (shadow/mirror) of the real-world.
Selection of Zambia’s optimal copper mining excess profit tax
Authors: Banda Webby
Published: June 2020

Mineral taxation is an important revenue-generating instrument for the Zambian government. A good combination of tax instruments in a fiscal regime will help a mineral resource-rich country to generate revenue needed for economic development. This paper selects Zambia’s optimal copper mining excess profit tax. The choice was made between variable profit tax and windfall tax. This was attained by using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy technique order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) methods. The selection process was anchored on four evaluation criteria: administrative efficiency, investor risk, government risk, and progressivity. Results show that windfall tax is technically superior to variable profit tax. Therefore, windfall tax was selected as Zambia’s optimal copper mining excess profit tax.

A four-step strategy for handling missing outcome data in randomised trials affected by a pandemic
Authors: Cro Suzie , Morris Tim P , Kahan Brennan , Cornelius Victoria R , Carpenter James
Published: June 2020

Background: The coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19) presents a variety of challenges for ongoing clinical trials, including an inevitably higher rate of missing outcome data, with new and non-standard reasons for missingness. International drug trial guidelines recommend trialists review plans for handling missing data in the conduct and statistical analysis, but clear recommendations are lacking.Methods: We present a four-step strategy for handling missing outcome data in the analysis of randomised trials that are ongoing during a pandemic. We consider handling missing data arising due to (i) participant infection, (ii) treatment disruptions and (iii) loss to follow-up. We consider both settings where treatment effects for a ‘pandemic-free world’ and ‘world including a pandemic’ are of interest. Results: In any trial, investigators should; (1) Clarify the treatment estimand of interest with respect to the occurrence of the pandemic; (2) Establish what data are missing for the chosen estimand; (3) Perform primary analysis under the most plausible missing data assumptions followed by; (4) Sensitivity analysis under alternative plausible assumptions. To obtain an estimate of the treatment effect in a ‘pandemic-free world’, participant data that are clinically affected by the pandemic (directly due to infection or indirectly via treatment disruptions) are not relevant and can be set to missing. For primary analysis, a missing-at-random assumption that conditions on all observed data that are expected to be associated with both the outcome and missingness may be most plausible. For the treatment effect in the ‘world including a pandemic’, all participant data is relevant and should be included in the analysis. For primary analysis, a missing-at-random assumption – potentially incorporating a pandemic time-period indicator and participant infection status – or a missing-not-at-random assumption with a poorer response may be most relevant, depending on the setting. In all scenarios, sensitivity analysis under credible missing-not-at-random assumptions should be used to evaluate the robustness of results. We highlight controlled multiple imputation as an accessible tool for conducting sensitivity analyses.Conclusions: Missing data problems will be exacerbated for trials active during the Covid-19 pandemic. This four-step strategy will facilitate clear thinking about the appropriate analysis for relevant questions of interest.
Sigfried Giedion's Chicago School: A Midpoint in 150 Years of History
Authors: Baciu Dan Costa
Published: June 2020

Sigfried Giedion (1888-1968) was a foremost Swiss architectural historian. Teaching at Harvard, Yale, MIT, the Chicago School of Design, and at ETH Zurich, he deeply shaped the idea of modern architecture. One of Giedion’s best known works was his book chapter on the Chicago school. It was a key piece of historiography, embedded in the broader context of his famous publication of 1941, "Space, Time and Architecture." However Giedion's historic sources for the Chicago school were long believed to be lost or absent, which made his historiography target of endless academic debates. This present article recovers Giedion's sources, and it also evaluates the role of his publication in a larger history of cultural diversification and growth: After Giedion's work appeared, multiple schools of thought all named “Chicago school” unexpectedly rose to prominence together. Many of these schools already existed decades before the 1940s, but they were less well known than thereafter. Why did this collective growth only come into action after such an extended period of formation? As an explanation to this question, I developed a theory of cultural dissemination and reception that makes statements about the interplay between entire groups of authors and audiences. The theory builds on evolutionary models extensively studied in other disciplines. In the humanities, the theory may help us understand processes of formation and growth. In our particular case, Giedion is placed in a larger process of diversification. As a more general finding, the broad validity of the causal model developed here suggests that the world around us is often shaped by similar principles of self-organization.
An Impaired Natriuretic Peptide Hormone System May Play a Role in COVID-19 Severity in Vulnerable Populations
Authors: Currie Mark G. , Zimmer Daniel , Halushka Perry
Published: June 2020

Advanced age, underlying cardiovascular disease (including hypertension), and obesity are associated with a higher risk of progression to severe hypoxemia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and death in COVID-19-infected patients. African Americans have a higher degree of COVID-19 mortality. The incidence of salt-sensitive hypertension is higher in older individuals and African Americans. Lower circulating levels of natriuretic peptides, key regulators of vascular tone and kidney function, have been associated with salt-sensitive hypertension and obesity. Evidence has accumulated that ANP administered to pulmonary endothelial cells, isolated lungs, and patients suffering from ARDS reduces endothelial damage and preserves the endothelial barrier, thereby reducing pulmonary edema and inflammation. Epidemiologic and pharmacologic data suggest that deficiencies in the natriuretic peptide hormone system may contribute to the development of severe lung pathology in COVID-19 patients, and treatments that augment natriuretic peptide signaling may have potential to limit progression to ARDS.

Sedekah merupakan suatu hal yang lumrah untuk dilakukan untuk menolong sesama. Sedekah merupakan bantuan yang diberikan kepada kaum yang kurang mampu dan dapat berbentuk uang, bahan makanan, dan hal lainnya. Dengan perkembangan teknologi yang terjadi saat ini, banyak perubahan yang telah dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kinerja dari suatu proses kegiatan seperti kegiatan yang dilakukan sehari-hari maupun untuk mempermudah suatu peroses dari kegiatan sehari-hari tersebut, dan kegiatan bersedekah pun tidak lepas dari perkembangan tersebut. Hal ini didukung pula dengan semakin banyaknya kegiatan yang perlu dilakukan secara online dimana digunakan aplikasi yang dapat menghubungkan antar indvidu dimanapun dan kapanpun dengan menggunakan internet. Internet merupakan sebuah media yang digunakan untuk mengakses informasi secara online yang digunakan oleh seluruh dunia dalam skala global. Dengan kondisi saat ini dimana sedang terjadinya pandemik dalam skala global yang membuat seluruh Negara di dunia menetapkan social distancing, membuat peran internet sebagai sumber informasi dan penghubunh social memalui aplikasi semakin krusial. Dalam hal ini, dikarenakan kebijakan social distancing yang dijalankan oleh pemerintah Republik Indonesi yang juga bertepatan dengan pada bulan ramadhan sehingga kegiatan sholat berjamaah di masjid yang biasa dilangsungkan tidak dapat dilakukan sehingga pemberian sedekah oleh para jamaah majelis taklim yang difasilitasi oleh pengurus masjid setiap harinya tidak dapat dilakukan. Oleh karena itu dibuat suatu rancangan aplikasi sedekah yang dapat digunakan oleh para jamaah majelis taklim tersebut untuk tetap dapat bersedekah dari rumah yang difasilitasi oleh pihak pengurus masjid sebagai admin. Dalam hal ini, digunakan aplikasi Microsoft Access untuk memodelkan aplikasi website yang dibuat untuk mempermudah proses sedekah secara online selama bulan ramadhan ini. Dengan menggunakan Microsoft Access, model aplikasi yang dibuat dapat dibuat dengan metode yang lebih sederhana dibandingkan dengan membuat website secara langsung menggunaan bahasa pemrograman. Hal ini juga dapat memudahkan proses identifikasi dari rancangan website, sehingga website dapat disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan sebelum dibuat menggunakan bahasa pemrograman. Pembuatan aplikasi ini bertujuan untuk mempermudah proses sedekah secara online yang dilakukan oleh pengurus masjid dalam kondisi scial distancing selama bulan ramadhan ini dengan menggunakan aplikasi berbasis website. Aplikasi website ini diperuntukan kepada jamaah majelis taklim yang berperan sebagai customer. Pada aplikasi ini, customer dapat memesan, menghapus, dan mengecek paket sedekah yang ia pilih.

Assessing the causes for a relatively lower caseload of Covid-19 in South Asia
Authors: Niazi Anum , Kifayat Shandana , Javed Nasir , Khan Muhammad Salar
Published: June 2020

In the wake of the ongoing spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, the number of affected persons has already surpassed 6 million globally. Advanced healthcare systems in North America and Western Europe have registered the highest number of cases. On the contrary, some of the weakest healthcare systems of the world, including those in South Asia, have observed significantly fewer cases of Covid-19. This article assesses the potential causes of a relatively lower caseload and lethality caused by Covid-19 in South Asia. Some of the key factors which might be creating favorable conditions for the relatively lower and less lethal spread of the virus in South Asia include an inconducive climate, reduced percentage of the elderly population, possible immunity due to existing disease trends, unfavorable blood group distribution, early lockdown restrictions, and lesser inbound and outbound movements as compared to Europe and North America. These observations are subject to discussion because most of the research is still preliminary, and the landscape of the disease is still shifting significantly on a daily basis. Lower incidence of Covid-19 in South Asia might well relate back to inadequate testing facilities and weak reporting protocols. The stigma associated with the illness and misinformation regarding treatment and healthcare administration might further lead to underreporting of the Covid-19 caseload. Various factors such as poverty, high population density, a large informal economy, and poor sanitation make South Asia particularly vulnerable. All these factors, combined with the recent easing of lockdown restrictions in the region, could lead to spikes in rates of Covid-19 infections. Therefore, we suggest the local governments collaborate and share technical and healthcare expertise to devise and implement comprehensive strategies to stop the spread of the disease. South Asia should swiftly mobilize local resources, quickly ramp up capabilities, and thoroughly implement the proposed guidelines. The public should practice prevention and precaution. The national governments (with the help of community elders and scholars) should address stigma related to Covid-19. Finally, the international community must increase its technical assistance to mitigate the threats of the pandemic in populous South Asia.

Published: June 2020

Despite its implementation in many industries, blockchain has never been harnessed to directly study biological mechanisms. Current uses of blockchain technology in biology and medicine has been limited to peripheral applications such as storing sequencing data or preventing tampering of clinical trial data. Although longstanding problems in computational biology mirror those addressed by blockchain, the technology has never been exploited to answer fundamental biological questions. Proposed here is a conceptual framework for employing blockchain technology to probe biological mechanisms. How principles of decentralization, synchronicity, immutability, and contracts can be utilized for cancer evolution and synthetic biology are explored.

Pre-exposure to ambiguous faces modulates top-down control of attentional orienting to counterpredictive gaze cues
Authors: Abubshait Abdulaziz , Momen Ali , Wiese Eva
Published: June 2020

Understanding and reacting to others’ nonverbal social signals, such as changes in gaze direction (i.e., gaze cue), is essential for social interactions, as its important for processes such as joint attention and mentalizing. Although attentional orienting in response to gaze cues has a strong reflexive component, accumulating evidence shows that it can be top-down controlled by context information regarding the signals’ social relevance. For example, when a gazer is believed to be an entity “with a mind” (i.e., mind perception), people exert more top-down control on attention orienting. Although increasing an agent’s physical human-likeness can enhance mind perception, it could have negative consequences on top-down control of social attention when a gazer’s physical appearance is categorically ambiguous (i.e., difficult to categorize as human or nonhuman), as resolving this ambiguity would require using cognitive resources that otherwise could be used to top-down control attention orienting. To examine this question, we used mouse-tracking to explore if categorically ambiguos agents are associated with increased processing costs (Experiment 1), whether categorically ambiguous stimuli negatively impact top-down control of social attention (Experiment 2) and if resolving the conflict related to the agent’s categorical ambiguity (using exposure) would restore top-down control to orient attention (Experiment 3). The findings suggest that categorically ambigious stimuli are associated with cognitive conflict, which negatively impact the ability to exert top-down control on attentional orienting in a counterpredicitive gaze cueing paradigm; this negative impact, however, is attenuated when being pre-exposed to the stimuli prior to the gaze cueing task. Taken together, these findings suggest that manipulating physical human-likeness is a powerful way to affect mind perception in human-robot interaction but has a diminishing returns effect on social attention when it is categorically ambiguous due to drainage of cognitive resources and impairment of top-down control.
What should a preregistration contain?
Authors: McPhetres Jonathon
Published: June 2020

A large amount of variation exists in beliefs about the purpose and benefits of preregistration, making it difficult to implement and evaluate, and limiting its usefulness. Additionally, no single resource exists to describe what a preregistration should contain or how it should be used. In this paper, I describe what an effective preregistration should contain and when it should be used. Specifically, preregistration should 1) restrict as many researcher degrees of freedom as possible, 2) detail all aspects of a study’s method and analysis, 3) detail information on decisions made during the planning stages, and 4) specify how the results will be used and interpreted. Further, a preregistration must be publicly verifiable and permanent. Finally, I argue that preregistration should be used in any situation where researchers intend to collect data in order to make a claim, description, decision, or inference based on that data. I also note that preregistrations which do not address each of these points do more harm than good by falsely signalling credibility and quality.

For published version, please visit: https://doi.org/10.1111/aphw.12234 *********************************************** ****************** ************** *********** **** To limit the rapid spread of COVID-19, countries have asked their citizens to stay at home. As a result, demographic and cultural factors related to home life became especially relevant to predicting population well-being during isolation. This pre-registered worldwide study analyses the relationship between the number of adults and children in a household, marital status, age, gender, individualism-collectivism and perceived stress. We used the COVIDiSTRESS Global Survey data of 54,245 online participants from 27 countries. The data was collected worldwide between March 30 and April 6, 2020. Our results provide evidence that higher levels of stress are associated with younger age, being a woman, being single, staying with more children, and living in collectivistic cultures. We discuss our findings by emphasizing the need for the public health to focus on both physical and psychological well-being of these groups, as they may be especially susceptible to experiencing elevated levels of stress.
The effect of disagreement on children's source memory performance

AbstractSource representations play a role both in the formation of individual beliefs as well as in the social transmission of such beliefs. Both of these functions suggest that source information should be particularly useful in the context of interpersonal disagreement. Three experiments with an identical design (one original study and two replications) with 3- to 4-year-old-children (N = 100) assessed whether children’s source memory performance would improve in the face of disagreement and whether such an effect interacts with different types of sources (first- vs. second-hand). In a 2 x 2 repeated-measures design, children found out about the contents of a container either by looking inside or being told (IV1). Then they were questioned about the contents of the container by an interlocutor puppet who either agreed or disagreed with their answer (IV2). We measured children’s source memory performance in response to a free recall question (DV1) followed by a forced-choice question (DV2). Four-year-olds (but not three-year-olds) performed better in response to the free recall source memory question (but not the forced-choice question) when their interlocutor had disagreed with them compared to when it had agreed with them. Children were also better at recalling ‘having been told’ than ‘having seen’. These results demonstrate that source memory capacities become sensitive to the communicative context of assertions over development.
COVID-19 Public Sentiment Insights and Machine Learning for Tweets Classification

Published: June 2020

Along with the Coronavirus pandemic, another crisis has manifested itself in the form of mass fear and panic phenomena, fueled by incomplete and often inaccurate information. There is therefore a tremendous need to address and better understand COVID-19's informational crisis and gauge public sentiment, so that appropriate messaging and policy decisions can be implemented. In this research article, we identify public sentiment associated with the pandemic using Coronavirus specific Tweets and R statistical software, along with its sentiment analysis packages. We demonstrate insights into the progress of fear-sentiment over time as COVID-19 approached peak levels in the United States, using descriptive textual analytics supported by necessary textual data visualizations. Furthermore, we provide a methodological overview of two essential machine learning (ML) classification methods, in the context of textual analytics, and compare their effectiveness in classifying Coronavirus Tweets of varying lengths. We observe a strong classification accuracy of 91\% for short Tweets, with the Na\"ive Bayes method. We also observe that the logistic regression classification method provides a reasonable accuracy of 74\% with shorter Tweets, and both methods showed relatively weaker performance for longer Tweets. This research provides insights into Coronavirus fear sentiment progression, and outlines associated methods, implications, limitations and opportunities
Human macroecology, energy use scaling, and the sustainability of cities: A look at Latin America
Authors: Weinberger Vanessa , Burger Joseph Robert
Published: June 2020

We take a human macroecological approach using energy as a fundamental currency to quantify the emergence and future sustainability of urban societies globally with a special look at Latin America. Energetic scaling analysis showed most modern humans in cities in Latin America and elsewhere live at densities of ~10,000 ind/km2, ~4 orders of magnitude greater than our hunter-gatherer ancestors (<1 ind/km2). Meanwhile, modern cities consume ~10,000 watts mostly in the form of extra-metabolic (e.g., fossil fuels), ~2 orders of magnitude greater than hunter-gatherer biological metabolism (~120 watts). Further analysis of World Bank data across and within nations over time showed per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP), energy use, and CO2 emissions are lowest in predominantly rural countries, increase in urbanizing countries and are greatest in the most urban countries. For the same level of urbanization, Latin American countries show lower per capita GDP, energy use, and CO2 emissions than global averages. These trends coincide with changes in employment with rural countries employed largely in resource-extraction sectors and highly urbanized nations in service economies. Latin American countries have higher employment in resource sectors compared to most urban countries. Increasing energy use, especially fossil fuel use, underlies urbanization and changes in economic lifestyle. However, these trends cannot continue indefinitely. Latin America, because of its rich renewable and non-renewable resources, may be spared from future uncertainties inherent to complex human-nature systems including from climate change, energy scarcity, pandemics, migration, and trade agreements if it chooses to: 1) rapidly transition to renewable powered economies, and 2) reduce population and economy size within local and regional renewable biocapacities. A rapid cultural evolution is of the essence.

Hypothyroidism in children causes delayed puberty. However longstanding untreated hypothyroidism can lead to precocious puberty which may be secondary to hyperprolactinemia or increased levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), enhancing the sensitivity of ovaries to circulating gonadotropins. Here we report a seven and half years old girl with hypothyroidism presenting with precocious puberty and multicystic ovaries which responded well to thyroid hormone supplementation but subsequently developed left ovarian torsion requiring surgical intervention.
