Published: March 2021

This research article focuses on characterization of Volunteer Army officers who fought in the Russian Civil War being part of the White armies of South Russia. Quoted memoirs by Major General Konstantin A. Kelner reveal inner relationships and image of the 1st Volunteer Army Corps units of the Armed Forces of South Russia in 1918–1920. An analysis of this historical document has been made and the first full-scale biography of the memoirist has been introduced. The memoirs written by Kelner in 1930 provide a detailed description of the best known «colored» (for their uniforms) regiments of the Volunteer Army: Drozdovites, Markovites, Kornilovites and Alekseevites. The general doesn’t focus just on the glitzy front of their life, but also on negative aspects of the Volunteer movement, which deserves special attention

Published: March 2021

The article analyzes contemporary research approaches to the problem of visualization of the future, the images of which are formed with the help of social networks. There are considered arguments, according to which, images and forms for visualization of the future can be treated as technologies of creating new worlds (reflecting the diversity and multidimensionality of various social practices). The authors defend the thesis that images and forms of visualization of the future vary significantly in different social environments and contexts. It is suggested that every image within the visualization of the future includes many traces of individual interpretations, which influences, in turn, the processes of formation of collective shared images of the future
Minimal dualism and epistemic approach
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg State University, Faul B. V.
Published: March 2021

In this paper the author presents an argument in favor of minimal dualism — thesis, according to which conscious agents are able to exist without bodies. Author demonstrates the advantages of this argument. Firstly, he shows that this argument is invulnerable to the epistemic strategy of criticizing the conceivability argument. Secondly, the epistemic approach restricts the conceivability of creatures, the possibility of which is incompatible with the minimal dualism
Deficit of conceivability: response to Bogdan Faul’s article «Minimal dualism and epistemic approach»
Authors:   Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University «LETI», Demin T. S.
Published: March 2021

The argument in defense of minimal dualism presented in Bogdan Faul’s article presents the idea that we can conceive consciousness existing only in the introspection without a physical body. From that kind of conceivability follows the possibility of consciousness. And this leads to the falsity of physicalism. I argue that Faul’s argument is not fundamentally different from the ghost argument. Then I consider a step from conceivability to possibility and conclude that no argument of conceivability guarantees the possibility that consciousness is non-physical since we lack the epistemic capacity for such a conclusion. In the last part of this article, I discuss three kinds of conceivability. The classification of these kinds of conceivability demonstrates what kind of conceivability we lack for an argument to be sound, and we cannot have such conceivability

Semiotic Communication: An Approach Of Understanding A Meaning In Communication
Authors: Ibrahim Ibrahim , Sulaiman Sulaiman
Published: March 2021

In interpreting communication, we are often trapped in symbols and a set of signs that are used. This is due to our simple assumption that tends assume on symbols or signs that stand alone in representing meaning. We forget that symbols or signs, as well as meaning are complex. Though they are not stand alone. They are representation of the many factors that influence them, including the knowledge and culture of their participants. In media, the meaning of symbols or signs that used to convey news is very dependent on the ideology of the media and the whole organization that manages the media. Even the "reality of truth" is very dependent on the construction of the media in processing it. Likewise in film and music, certain symbols or signs that are used are representations of reality which must be explored and understood as a form of communication, even a picture of the social and cultural reality of the participants. This is where the semiotics in communication emerge, and offer themselves as an important approach in understanding the true meaning of symbols or signs used in a communication process.

Published: March 2021

Coccinia grandis is a one of the edible plant and its antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activities are not well explored. Hence, the present is planned to study the antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activities of methanolic extract of Coccinia grandis  leaves in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Coccinia grandis leaves  was dried under the shade and extracted with methanol. Preliminary phytochemical and pharmacological analysis were conducted using methanolic extract of Coccinia grandis  (MECG) leaves. Female Sprague dawley  (SD) was used for acute toxicity studies. Female SD was induced with diabetes by administering streptozotocin (55 mg/kg, i.p.). Glibenclamide (20 mg/kg, p.o.) or MECG leaves (125, 250 and 500 mg/kg, p.o.) used to treat diabetic rats for 28 days. Blood samples were collected at regular intervals to check the antidiabetic effect of MECG. On 28th day, blood sample was collected from the rats to analyse biochemical and lipid profile. MECG did not show any toxic symptoms up to the dose 2000 mg/kg/ BW. MECG at 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg marked significant antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activities. Coccinia grandis  reduced streptozotocin-induced weight loss and significantly recovered lipid levels. At the end of the study, MECG exhibited significant antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activities in streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats.

In Siddha system Arsenics are called as Paasaanam (toxins). Veeram is one of the paasaanam, its chemical formula is Hg2Cl2 (Calomel). Internally arsenic based medicines are used for rheumatoid arthritis, generalized body pain, syphilis, epilepsy and cancer.Various organic agents are used to purify the veeram such as milk, tender coconut, bitter guard and lemon juice. In this study raw veeram and products obtained after purification were analyzed using FTIR Spectroscopy with a view to understand the need and mechanism of this purification processes. FTIR analysis was carried out before and after purification. Efforts were made to study various chemical changes veeram undergoes during this process. FTIR of the raw Veeram and its processed samples were recorded between 4000-400cm-1. In the study raw drug showed only nine functional groups in the region between 3789.36cm-1 and 468.75cm-1. Bitter gourd treated veeram peaks  were observed in the region between 3526.99 and 476.62cm-1 and a total of 13-peaks were obtained.  Milk treated veeram showed peaks in the region between 3851.10 and 470.39cm-1 and total of 16- peaks were obtained. This method indicated presence of large number of functional groups. Lemon juice treated veeram showed peaks in between 3839.33 and 471.99cm-1  total of 15-peaks were obtained. Tender coconut veeram peaks were observed in between 3877.84 and 477.33cm-1  and total of 15-peaks were obtained. From this data number of functional groups increased in purified samples which indicated that the toxic veeram is not only detoxified but also interacted with functional groups of purifying agents there by therapeutic potency is enhanced.

The present research has been conducted to find the utility of image-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of thoracoabdominal lesions. It also has attempted to study the frequency of distribution of thoracoabdominal lesions. At the same time tried to classify various thoracoabdominal lesions with the help of image-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology. The study of image-guided FNAC of thoracoabdominal lesions was carried out for twenty-four months, i.e. from MAY 2014 to APRIL 2016, which included 80 cases. Most patients (80%) were in the 5th-7th decade of life. All cases of ovarian lesions were diagnosed as malignant tumours on cytology, 08 were diagnosed as adenocarcinoma and one case of granulosa cell tumour. 06 out of 08 cases which diagnosed as adenocarcinoma on cytology, were confirmed on histology and diagnosed as mucinous cystadenocarcinoma(03 cases) and papillary serous carcinoma (03 cases). A case of malignant granulosa cell tumour was diagnosed on cytology and confirmed on histopathology. A case of mesenteric lymphadenopathy was diagnosed as granulomatous inflammation, suggestive of tuberculosis and was confirmed on histopathology with 100% accuracy. This was the only paediatric case in our study. A case of para-spinal abscess of thoracic vertebrae was diagnosed as chronic inflammation on guided FNAC, and the etiological agent was identified with histopathology as actinomyces.

"Pleasing homogeneity," "Dull times," and "animated cocktails": New Zealand Architecture in the 1930s
Authors: McCarthy Christine
Published: March 2021

New Zealand in the 1930s began in mid-depression. Substantial rises in unemployment were recorded early in the decade, and an unemployment tax was introduced in 1930 to pay for unemployment relief. 1930 was also the same year that the beginnings of commerical aviation in New Zealand occurred. The first trans-Tasman airmail service dates from 1934, with TEAL (Tasman Empire Airways Ltd - now known as Air New Zealand) being established in 1939. This increasing significance of aviation in New Zealand during the decade was reflected in Hean's 1935 article "Airports" in the Journal of the New Zealand Institute of Architects. In 1931 relief camps were set up for the unemployed, and unemployed riots occurred in Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin. In June 1932 the NZIAJ noted that "[t]he almost complete cessation of building has had its inevitable result on employment of those connected with building - most of them are out of work, some are casually employed, and only a very few have any regular employment," while the following issue remarked that "[i]n the troublous times which have come upon us during the past fourteen years since the Armistice, not least among economic difficulties has been the high cost of building." This context lead to building subsidies and the Allied Building Industries Movement. By 1936 the normal working week was reduced from 44 hours to 40 hours.
Resisting Modernism or the Last Gasp of the Arts and Crafts?: Church Building in Canterbury and North Otago in the 'Thirties
Authors: Lochhead Ian
Published: March 2021

The dominant historical narratives of twentieth-century architecture present the 1930s as the period during which Modernism's claim to be the architectural style of the century was consolidated and when the new architecture began to spread across the globe. In New Zealand, as in the rest of the world, this master narrative has tended to obscure the significance of buildings constructed in more traditional styles. The five New Zealand buildings included in the RIBA's Centennial Exhibition, International Architecture 1924-1934, were not, however, the latest examples of Modernism in this country, but relatively conservative designs, including Cecil Wood's Arts and Crafts inspired St Barnabas's Church at Woodend (1932). Wood's building forms part of an extensive group of small country churches built throughout Canterbury and North Otago during the 'thirties. These include Wood's St Paul's, Tai Tapu (1930-31) and Herbert Hall's St David's Memorial Church at Cave (1930), although by far the best know is RSD Harman's Church of the Good Shepherd at Lake Tekapo (1935). These small, unpretentious churches, many built with assistance from a government fund initiated to stimulate the construction industry, made use of modern materials, especially reinforced concrete, but their mode of expression remained conservative. They were often embellished with furnishings executed in the traditions of the Arts and Crafts movement. In most cases these churches were important statements of local identity while at the same time expressing the diverse cultural origins of those who built them. In style they were invariably Gothic yet within that dominant idiom considerable stylistic diversity was achieved. For both architects and their clients Modernism, with its emphasis on internationalism and the machine, was unable to express the rich veins of meaning which such buildings were required to embody. Yet as expressions of the uncertainties of the time, their conservative aesthetic values, their reassertion of pioneering roots and of an enduring local identity were as significant as Modernism's confident assertion of a better, essentially urban, future. At a time when the approaching Centennial events of 1940 was stimulating a reassessment of the country's past, these buildings also acted as powerful statements of consolidated achievements.
Contextualising Bickerton's Wainoni
Authors: Gatley Julia
Published: March 2021

Wainoni was the short-lived cooperative housing initiative of Canterbury College's "errant" Professor A. W. Bickerton, who from 1896 expanded his own house at Wainoni, near New Brighton, Christchurch, and invited like-minded others to join him and his family in living there. At the turn of the twentieth century, it accommodated about 30 residents. Bickerton called it a Federative Home. It has been referred to elsewhere as New Zealand's second cooperative house and was described within British Garden City Association discourse as a "very successful experiment" in cooperative housing, even though it failed within only a few years. This paper examines Wainoni within an Anglo/American context of cooperative housing and considers, in particular, issues of gender. It shows that the initiative was indeed experimental, not only for its communal living arrangements, but also because it demonstrates some reconsideration of entrenched work/home and male/female dichotomies. The challenge to established norms was not well received locally, in part because it was embedded within a broader critique of the institution of marriage.
The Style of the 1890s: Art Nouveau design in New Zealand Architecture
Authors: Lochhead Ian
Published: March 2021

The influence of Art Nouveau on New Zealand architecture has generally been considered to be negligible but its impact was nevertheless significant during the period from 1890 to the outbreak of the First World War.  Across a wide range of building types, from large scale public buildings to modest houses, Art Nouveau-inspired door pulls, dados, embossed ceilings, leaded glass and tiles abound.  This paper explores the largely hidden presence of Art Nouveau in New Zealand architecture of this period and considers the reasons why buildings that otherwise have little connection with the style incorporate features that are often strikingly disparate in aesthetic terms.  Is this because New Zealand architects and builders simply did not understand the aesthetic implications of their actions?  Was it a consequence of remoteness from centres of architectural innovation or the result of purchasing items, magpie-like, from architectural catalogues?  Or was it, indeed, the result of a desire to achieve an aura of "instant sophistication"?
The [in]significance of New Zealand wallpaper in the 1940s
Authors: Chaney Beth , Cogswell Sophia , Rutledge Sarah
Published: March 2021

This paper draws on research into the use, imaging and recording of wallpaper in New Zealand from 1850 to 1950, conducted as part of the Martin Hill Wallpaper research project. It tests New Zealand wallpaper as an industry, a craft, and as a design activity, comparing it to other applied wall surface treatments significant to the contemporary 1940s context, aiming to contextualise the value placed on wallpaper in the modern interior. To explore the content and context of wallpaper as it was recorded in 1940s New Zealand, this paper specifically draws on the definitive contemporary exhibition; The New Zealand Centennial Exhibition, and a definitive contemporary text; DE Barry Martin's Modern Decoration & Furnishing: The Complete Guide to Planning and Buying for all interiors, as sources to provide a framework within which to locate wallpaper and its perceived significance.
"... ponderously pedantic pediments prevail ... good, clean fun in a bad, dirty world": New Zealand Architecture in the 1980s
Authors: McCarthy Christine
Published: March 2021

The 1980s in New Zealand started with Robert Muldoon as Prime Minister: "Think Big," the Springbok Tour, the price freeze, and the establishment of Kōhanga Reo. These conflicting messages of expansion, contraction, and of race and politics were contextualised by high inflation (15.7% in 1981, 17.6% in 1982) and increasing unemployment (over 70,000 in 1981; c130,000 in 1983). In 1983 the CER (Closer Economic Relations) agreement with Australia was signed. In 1986 a GST (Goods and Services Tax) was first introduced. In October 1987, the sharemarket crash devastated many and reduced the number of cranes dominating the skylines of New Zealand's major cities. Building sites became car parks, and a new era of economic rationalisation would occur. In 1988 Broadcasting was de-regulated, NZPost (now an SOE) closed 432 post offices, and the selling of state assets to private interests was put in train. In 1989 GST increased to 12.5% and the Serious Fraud Office was established.It was also a decade of drama in New Zealand architecture. Significant controversies arose over buildings being built or being demolished, the economies of land value and building worth were in constant comparision. Of note were the discussions around the unrealised National Art Gallery, Roger Walker's now demolished Wellington Club the Aotea Centre in Auckland,the destruction of William Pitt's His Majesty's Theatre, and finally the National Museum of New Zealand, known these days as Te Papa. Controversies included protests against the recurring lack of open competitions for major public buildings, as well as the dominant disregard for architectural heritage.
Chase Corp: Force or Farce?
Authors: Marriage Guy
Published: March 2021

During the 1980s, one company grew to symbolise New Zealand's unhealthy obsession with money. Chase Corporation appeared as the pinnacle of the New Zealand dream – tall buildings, high finance, the sky was the limit. At last we were joining the big time. The mantra "Greed is Good" was taken to heart in New Zealand, by architects, developers, and much of the public – at least in Auckland and Wellington. Glittering towers of mirrored glass appeared weekly in the press, promising to change the face of the city forever. The reality was different: poorly designed, badly built buildings were financed by shady deals, and heritage was destroyed casually, with little thought for the consequences. This paper will attempt to unravel some of the work undertaken by Chase Corp during the 1980s.
Shoulderpads and shagpile: architectural referencing in the television series Gloss
Authors: Tyler Linda
Published: March 2021

Before Television New Zealand closed its drama department in 1988 and production became outsourced, 55 episodes of the memorable series Gloss had been made at in the Browns Bay sound studio in Auckland. Screening between 1987 and 1990, the series was based on the experiences of writer Rosemary McLeod's years in the internecine world of women's magazines. Revolving around the machinations of fictional magazine editor and high priestess of fashion Maxine Redfern and her dynastic family, the series deployed architectural detail as readily as it did Liz Mitchell's costume designs in order to evoke an era of conspicuous consumption. Sumptuous production designs characterised the sets, with the interiors of the offices of the fictional magazine Gloss itself remarkable for their evocation of glamour and glitz. Domestic spaces inhabited by the extraordinary characters also conveyed materialism and superficiality through furnishings and design, doing much to contribute to characterisation of Aucklanders as immoral show-offs with poor value systems. The trappings of success in a materialistic world included the worst features of postmodern architecture, it would seem. As the title song for the series went, “It's the gilt off the gingerbread/The icing on the cake/It's monuments and mirrorglass/The city's on the make/Devil take the hindmost/So no one counts the cost/Such a sweet seduction/Glosssssssss."

Koniec przeobrażeń? Dekomunizacja przestrzeni publicznej w Polsce na Ziemiach Zachodnich i Północnych w latach 2016–2017 – wybrane przykłady
Authors: Waldmann Nancy
Published: March 2021

In Poland since 2016 there has been a legally mandated process of decommunization of public space which is to serve as an instrument for a cleansing of sorts of cities, towns and villages, including the expunging of all forms of commemoration of the Red Army and the Brotherhood in Arms of Soviet and Polish soldiers who fought in the final phase of World War II. What is the result of this radical reinterpretation and devaluation of the events of 1945 in the Western and Northern Lands, where almost everything changed at that time? This article presents the attitudes of selected local communities towards the current prohibition on „promoting communism and other totalitarian regimes”. The selected communities are: Szczecin, Legnica, Drawsko Pomorskie, Stargard, Nowogard, Gorzów Wielkopolski, Kęszyca Leśna, Kołobrzeg and Pyrzyce. However, this is not a complete, academic study; rather, it represents the viewpoint of a reporter, an attempt at an examination in a wider context of the effects of the current politics concerning history. The aim of this article is to present various dimensions of the decommunization of the public space, the collation of activities connected with this process and earlier decommunization practices, and the processes of accepting or not accepting and then dismantling of monuments. Moreover, the article seeks to consider residents’ endeavours to save those monuments that are important to them.
FORMULAIC EXPRESSIONS FOUND IN THE “ALLY MCBEAL” MOVIE SERIAL
Authors: Triasningrum Frida Widyawati
Published: March 2021

The objectives of this research are to investigate the formulaic expressions. It is supposed to be very important to have more progress of the capability of English speaking. It is therefore necessary to have the formulaic expressions as a cover term which is typically used to refer to “multi-word collocations” which are stored and retrieved holistically and with conventionalized forms and meanings.This study, using English corpora as data, explores the nature of formulaic expressions by systematically examining its composition patterns. Formulaic expressions are a fix expressions used in conversation and the convention of turn taking varies between cultures and languages; therefore, learners of a foreign language may find it difficult to say in their expression naturally. A movie film, Ally McBeal, is chosen as material because it allows constant reference to the context; however, it is suggested that a film should be carefully chosen according to the aim of teaching.The main question of this study is: what kinds of formulaic expressions are found in Ally McBeal movie serial? This study also tries to find how these functions are realizedAfter analyzing the data, it is was found that there are 11 formulaic expressions. They are: greeting-greeting, statement-apologizing, statement- thanking, promises/threats-response, controlling-response, request-response, preclosing/closing-response, interruption-response, compliment-response, advice- response, and offer-responseThe results summarized above have some important implications for strategy instruction in the area of formulaic expressions usage. Learners need to distinguish   the formulaic expression indicate the same context. Cognitive strategies involving the practice of formulaic expressions forms need to be incorporated.

The results of a comparative empirical study of the psychological well-being of people of elderly age are presented in the article. We tried to test the hypothesis that the psychological well-being of people in elderly age is determined by a number of social factors (involvement in professional activities and the presence of close interpersonal relationships). We tried to determine which components cause a high level of psychological well-being in the elderly age. In the result of the study we found that working respondents have more autonomy than non-working respondents. They have a high degree of responsibility and high self-esteem. They are satisfied with the quality of their lives. The connection between marital status as a factor of close interpersonal relationships and levels of psychological well-being of a people in elderly age was not found. It was found that average and high levels of psychological well-being of people of elderly age are determined by such components as a high subjectness of personality, selfworth, meaningfulness of life, presence of life goals, life satisfaction, satisfaction with the results of life, ability to life management, interest in life, positive self-esteem, positive mood, consistency in achieving goals and consistency between the set and achieved goals.

In the present paper we discuss the results of the study specifics of intergenerational relationships in the family and nonfamily spheres among students with a characteristic character of professional development. We assumed that the experience of harmonious family intergenerational relations will contribute to the establishment of constructive relationships with representatives of other generations outside the family; the nature of professionogenesis (crisis and prosperous) will affect the specifics of intergenerational relationships. We also suggested that in the period of late adolescence and early adulthood, the stage of professional training is one of the central processes, and teachers are important figures in social interaction. Participants were 176 students aged 17-25 from Saint-Petersbur; 3 groups were defined: crisis, prosperous and a group with an acute crisis in the learning process. As a result, according to the results of the study, we studied the ambiguous impact of intergenerational relationships on the process of professional self-determination in a situation of crisis development. We have identified markers that indicate the experience of an acute crisis of professional development at the initial stage of professional training. We found a significant role of the teacher in the formation of the character of professionogenesis in young people, and revealed the contribution of family intergenerational relationships to the professional development of the student
Cervical instability in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis
Authors: Perovic-Kaczmarek Victoria , Czech Julita , Tarnacka Beata

Introduction:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune connective tissue disease characterized by symmetrical arthritis associated with extra-articular changes. Although peripheral joint involvement is the dominant symptom of RA, many patients develop cervical spine involvement in the course of the disease, manifesting as cervical instability.

Aim:
The aim of this study is to describe a case of an RA patient with spinal myelopathy to increase awareness of this complication, hoping that its early diagnosis may prevent further serious consequences.

Case study:
A 63-year-old patient, who was diagnosed with RA 18 years ago, was admitted to the Rheumatology Clinic due to suspected exacerbation of rheumatic disease. Functional X-Ray and MRI was performed, which showed instability in the C3–C4 segment with spinal cord compression. Subsequently, the patient underwent cervical spine surgery. After the surgery and rehabilitation, the patient demonstrated neurological improvement.

Results and discussion:
Every patient diagnosed with RA should be educated about the possibility of a complication of cervical instability and be familiar with the neurological symptoms that may result from it. If cervical instability and subsequent cervical myelopathy are detected early, the symptoms may be reversible or significantly reduced by surgical spinal cord decompression and cervical stabilization.

Conclusions:
It is very important to perform a functional X-ray of the cervical spine to exclude instability, especially before rehabilitation treatment. Neck pain in patients diagnosed with RA may indicate cervical instability that requires more thorough neurological examination to exclude cervical myelopathy.

The growth and development of MSMEs are hampered due to capital constraints, so that MSMEs need other sources of capital to meet their business needs, one of which is with credit. In Muara Angke Traditional Fisheries Processing (PHPT) there are formal and informal credit institutions. The decision-making process of which credit institution will be chosen is determined by the processor's perception of the two institutions, where each institution will incur different transaction costs incurred by salted fish processors. The purpose of this study was to analyze the perceptions of salted fish processors on credit institutions and the amount of credit transaction costs incurred. The perceptual analysis uses the importance-performance analysis method and transaction costs are calculated using the transaction cost analysis method. The total sample of 72 salted fish processing business units in PHPT Muara Angke. The results showed that based on the criteria of processing perceptions of formal institutions better. This is indicated by the measurement of the average value of formal interests 4,48, the average value of the performance of formal institutions is 4,04 while the average value of the interests of non-formal institutions is 4,16 and the average value of the performance of non-formal institutions is 3,99. However, the transaction costs per loan period that must be issued by processors with formal credit (Rp 126.750) are greater than the transaction costs incurred by processors with non-formal credit (Rp 15.434). The largest transaction cost component informal credit is implementation costs (62,60 per cent), while informal credit is information costs (36,37 per cent).

Esse artigo discute uma perspectiva de possibilitar o protagonismo juvenil na Educação Profissional Tecnológica de nível Médio. Para tanto, propõe-se evidenciar pesquisas conduzidas por estudantes do Ensino Médio Integrado à Educação Profissional como pesquisadores de realidades sociais, políticas e culturais, em especial o “nichos cultural nerd-geek”. Toma-se a pesquisa como princípio pedagógico, alinhado a visão de juventude como constructo de sujeitos repletos de atos e vozes, atores protagonistas de sua própria construção intelectual e cultural. Apresentamos de forma suscinta pesquisas realizadas no âmbito institucional do PIBID-EM, no lócus do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Mato Grosso do Sul, campus Campo Grande, no âmbito do Ensino Médio Integrado à Educação Profissional. Essas pesquisas desenvolveram-se na esteira da teoria da Cultura da Convergência (JENKINS, 2009) e investigaram objetos de estudos frutos da relação entre os pontos dessa teoria com as atividades inerentes do nicho cultural nerd-geek. Esse estudo, que faz parte de um projeto de pesquisa de pós-doutorado que aborda a atuação do nicho cultural nerd na Educação Profissional Tecnológica, aponta para a relevância de atividades de pesquisa como uma forma de se promover o protagonismo juvenil na integração curricular apregoada aos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia.

Penelitian ini berusaha mengeksplorasi kondisi bisnis penginapan milik masyarakat Sembalun pasca gempa bumi besar beruntun dan dalam durasi waktu cukup lama yang melanda Pulau Lombok  pada tahun 2018. Bencana alam tersebut telah meluluhlantakkan Pulau Lombok bagian Utara termasuk Kawasan Wisata Sembalun. Ketiadaan wisatawan yang berkunjung ke kawasan tersebut menyebabkan bisnis penginapan di Sembalun ikut terpuruk. Banyak diantara bangunan penginapan yang rusak berat (hancur) dan hingga sekarang belum mampu diperbaiki, sehingga saat ini masih ada penginapan yang belum beroperasi sebagai dampak gempa bumi tersebut. Penginapan yang telah beroperasi kembali telah mulai menikmati pendapatan dari bisnis penginapannya meskipun belum pulih seperti sediakala sebelum gempa bumi.
Dibutuhkan strategi pertumbuhan yang tepat untuk mengembangkan bisnis penginapannya kembali agar tidak mengeluarkan biaya yang berlebihan dan tidak salah menentukan langkah berikutnya. Penelitian ini berusaha untuk memberikan solusi dalam menentukan strategi pertumbuhan tersebut sebagai sebuah alternatif yang dapat dipilih oleh pengelola penginapan dalam mengembangkan bisnisnya selanjutnya.
