Quality management was a systemic mechanism in ensuring the sustainability of University. This lack of quality Islamic Religious Higher Education / Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam (PTKI) including Islamic Religious Higher Education NU / Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam Nahdlatul Ulama (PTKI  NU) resulted less productive and competitive. The aim of this research was to describe the implementation of the development of high-quality management education in the Islamic Religious Higher Education of Nahdlatul Ulama or Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam Nahdlatul Ulama (PTKI  NU). The method was qualitative based on multisitus through inductive analysis. The result showed that in planning of quality management education which was done by three PTKI NU was systemic and structured, where each University was oriented to improve the quality academic, with varying strategies through a needs analysis process. Next, the implementation of quality management aspects of higher education of three PTKI NU varied and has the same quality management aspects, namely carry out the procedure, preparation of human resources through training, financial support, and focus on in integration of two areas of quality : quality of students and Tri Darma Peguruan Tinggi.  Furthermore, the evaluation aspects of quality management implemented mechanisms of self-evaluation, internal academic quality audit.

AL-BADEE OF ABU AL-HASAN AL-HUSARI AL-QAYRAWANI IMPACT IN DEVELOPING OF THE ARGUMENTATION STUDY
Authors: Kouyate Sekou
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT

The research aims to reinterpret the well-known of Al-Badee Arts, in view of the Argumentation theory, in order to observe the transformations of the meaning in some models of Poetry of Abu Al-Hasan Al-Husari Al-Qayrawani.

The researcher used the applied descriptive method, to study the ways of the transformations of the meaning, and extracting some models from the poems, and analyzing them.

Therefore the research reached some important conclusions which are:

If the new rhetoric is interested in the embellishment, because it is an Important instrument to the creativeness and the persuasion, Al-Badee can develop the Argumentation study, especially if the poet is sincere in his sufferance, and also wishes to convey his message, such as Al-Husari who benefited from Al-Badee Arts, for the purpose of persuasion, proof, and inference.

The poet was able to combine between the form and content. His interests in Al-Badee Arts revealed his desire to remove dust from speech, and give it the complete clarification, customization and justification, etc., generally, his employment of Al-Badde fits the meaning he is trying to form.

The repetition of the poet for some elements isn't a proof of inability to apply others elements, or a desire to decorate the speech only, but because he was bound by this repetition for its influential importance.

Keywords: Al-Badee, Meaning, Argumentation theory.

Authors: Hadana Harahap Rossa , Harahap Musaddad , Mayasari Siregar Lina
Published: December 2020

Indonesia beberapa tahun belakangan ini disibukkan oleh diskusi intoleransi, anti kebhinekaan, dan anti NKRI. Fenomena ini sebetulnya sangat bertentangan dengan kultur masyarakat Indonesia pada umumnya. Tulisan ini ingin melihat bagaimana hakikat kearifan lokal marsialapan ari masyarakat Tapanuli, Mandailing, Angkola dan sekitarnya dalam menanamkan ukhwah. Dengan pendekatan studi pustaka, maka ditemukan bahwa tradisi kearifan lokal marsialap ari mengandung nilai-nilai tarbiyah yang sangat luhur untuk mewujudkan ukhwah dalam kehidupan sosial. Tradisi marsialap ari dilakukan dalam tiga aspek kehidupan masyarakat, yaitu; dalam bidang Paiaskon (pertanian, sawah, kebun, dan lainnya), acara Siriaon (pesta maupun syukuran), dan Siluluton (kabar duka). Prinsipnya tradisi marsialap ari merupakan simbol kekuatan untuk menjaga eksistensi masyarakat agar tetap bisa hidup rukun dan memudahkan satu sama lain. Dalam konteks abad 21 ini tradisi marsialap ari perlu untuk dilestarikan dan tetap diwariskan kepada generasi muda agar rasa persaudaraan, kebersamaan, dan toleransi antar sesama tetap terjaga.

Introduction du dossier "Pour une autre configuration théâtrale : Renouveau ? Résurrection ? Naissance ?"

Pour une autre configuration théâtrale : Renouveau ? Résurrection ? Naissance ?

Antoine Vitez déclarait en 1991 que l’on pouvait/devait « faire théâtre de tout ». Aujourd’hui on en vient à se questionner sur la nature même du théâtre et de celle de ce « tout » mentionné par Vitez. En ce siècle, on assiste à des spectacles, des performances, des installations, des expériences qui sont autant de formes diverses qu’il existe de matériaux les constituant. Ce chantier de recherche nous permet de nous re-poser des questions sur les fondements du théâtre, si l’on peut encore le nommer ainsi, sur ses stratégies et ses objectifs. Ce dossier de Voix plurielles consacré aux nouvelles voix/es du théâtre aimerait poser soit sous forme de réflexions, soit sous forme de témoignages, les différents éléments qui constituent les dispositifs qui, d’une manière ou d’une autre, interpellent autrement la théâtralité, la scène, le hors-scène et la réception. Cet autrement est-il une reconfiguration de la dramaticité ? Une récupération des formes expérimentales anciennes (performances, body art) par le biais des nouvelles technologies contribuant à la notion de médiaturgie ? Un nouvel objet né d’une adaptation aux nouvelles donnes sociales et technologiques ?
Parler de soi, parler de nous : A Invenção do Nordeste
Authors: French French , Guimarães Mendes Julia
Published: December 2020

Le théâtre brésilien contemporain traverse un important tournant performatif depuis les années 2000. Plus récemment, on observe que certaines œuvres inspirées par des textes théoriques cherchent à dénaturaliser des imaginaires sociaux hégémoniques, tout en produisant des mises en scène provocatrices, inspirées de discours autoréférents et autobiographiques. Le spectacle A Invenção do Nordeste, « L’Invention du Nord-Est », du groupe Carmin, problématise un agencement des représentations sur ce qui serait (ou ce que devrait être) le nordestino, terme désignant une personne originaire du Nord-Est du Brésil. De fortes doses d’autodérision sont employées en guise de recours dramaturgique, en vue de susciter une réflexion chez le spectateur, tout en l’amenant à identifier les figures liées à l’imagerie du Nord-Est. En problématisant une thématique apparemment régionale, ce spectacle propose un panorama historique des rapports économiques et culturels entre « centre » et « périphérie » dans la société brésilienne, en consonance avec l’ouvrage homonyme de Durval Muniz Albuquerque Júnior, A invenção do Nordeste e outras artes (1999) (« L’invention du Nord-Est et autres arts »).À partir de la remise en question des identités et des imageries liées au nordestino proposée par ce spectacje, le jeu théâtral démontre la façon dont les mécanismes culturels s’inscrivent sur les corps et les subjectivitées, tout en inventant et en créant des identitées et des stéréotypes autour de certains groupes d’individus. En outre, nous cherchons à appréhender comment le théâtre pourrait contribuer à la construction transdisciplinaires de la connaissance, lorsqu’il traduit et matérialise en actions et en situations scéniques des processus théoriques complexes.

Perspective postcoloniale, écriture francophone et réponse critique à la crise de la modernité proto-anthropocène
Authors: French French
Published: December 2020

Du point de vue théorique, épistémologique, la perspective postcoloniale n’est pas la seule voie herméneutique de questionnement du fait historique colonial à travers les voix des écrivains dont les espaces de référence de l’écriture ont fait l’objet des avatars de l’histoire coloniale. Les écrivains, écrivaines francophones sont également concerné-e-s par ce fait historique dont les incidences ont touché la presque totalité des modes de vie et de conception de la réalité dans leurs espaces référentiels. C’est pourtant la perspective postcoloniale qui se sera particulièrement intéressée au fait colonial européen, pour une grande part, dans ses postulats théoriques et méthodologiques. Si, ainsi, la résistance comme modalité épistémologique de réponse, et de refus, à l’hégémonie est au cœur de cette perspective postcoloniale, autant la proposition d’alternatives, souvent rangées sous le mode épistémologique de l’utopie, participe de ses postulats. C’est sous cet angle que se comprennent les alternatives qu’envisage l’écrivain francophone à la crise actuelle de la postcolonialité théorisée sous le paradigme de l’Anthropocène, mais dans sa relation épistémique à la modernité européenne ou occidentale. De la perspective d’un retour épistémique à la Terre, pour l’être humain désormais, dans sa « fragilité » retrouvée, au principe métaphysique non usité de l’animisme, ce sont autant de voix qu’envisage l’écriture francophone contre la crise de la modernité. C’est aussi ce que la perspective postcoloniale, en ses débuts, envisageait, mais récusait, sous le paradigme du nativisme, et qu’il lui faut réactualiser, pour permettre la lecture de telles solutions dans les œuvres postcoloniales, francophones, qui en font état.

Mots-clés : modernité, crise Anthropocène, écriture francophone, épistémologie, nativisme.
La chanson française à l’école du modèle soviétique
Authors: French French
Published: December 2020

La valorisation en France de la musique soviétique s’observe au travers des articles de presse consacrés à la chanson française. Plutôt que d’éclairer la réception intellectuelle – avec un auteur ou une œuvre – du concept de réalisme socialiste par l’opinion publique, ce travail privilégie ainsi l’expérience ordinaire, par la population, des prestations des chanteurs français. Nous nous centrons ici sur la période stalinienne d’après-guerre élargie à l’immédiat après Staline. Elle représente l’acmé de la dictature stalinienne et reste encore aujourd’hui la plus mystérieuse de l’histoire soviétique. Le Parti Communiste Français est par ailleurs la première puissance de gauche en France. Exploiter un corpus qui réunit toutes les sources écrites assimilées communistes de l’époque, chambres d’écho de ce qui se passait alors en U.R.S.S. nous permet ainsi d’examiner dans quelles mesures la subordination de la presse de l’époque à des intérêts politiques, mais aussi à des principes professionnels ou à des attentes hédonistes conforte cette réception. Si la célébration des auteurs et des interprètes de la chanson française offrait l’occasion de défendre et promouvoir la musique soviétique, la valorisation par notre presse communiste de la musique légère en U.R.S.S. servait à confirmer la valeur de la chanson française ancrée dans les milieux populaires.

Published: December 2020

Entretien accordé à Marie Pascal, Université Dalhousie

Dramaturge québécois de renom, Michel Marc Bouchard est connu pour sa réflexion sur des personnages marginaux et sur les difficultés de la communication. D’après le site officiel de l’auteur (https://www.michelmarcbouchard.com/), ses œuvres les plus connues sont : Les feluettes (Lilies), Les muses orphelines (The Orphan Muses), Sous le regard des mouches, Le peintre des Madonnes (The Madonna Painter), Tom à la ferme (Tom at the Farm), Christine, la reine-garçon (Christina, The Girl King) et, dernièrement, La nuit où Laurier Gaudreault s’est réveillé. La plupart des titres susmentionnés ont été traduits en plusieurs langues et certains ont vu le jour au grand écran, ce pourquoi il m’a semblé particulièrement intéressant de le questionner à nouveau (plusieurs autres entretiens portent sur son avis concernant les adaptations les plus anciennes) sur ce phénomène visant à porter un texte de théâtre au cinéma.

Published: December 2020

Breast cancer recurrence is among the most noteworthy fears faced by women. Nevertheless, with modern innovations in data mining technology, early recurrence prediction can help relieve these fears. Although medical information is typically complicated, and simplifying searches to the most relevant input is challenging, new sophisticated data mining techniques promise accurate predictions from high-dimensional data. In this study, the performances of three established data mining algorithms: Naïve Bayes (NB), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and fast decision tree (REPTree), adopting the feature extraction algorithm, principal component analysis (PCA), for predicting breast cancer recurrence were contrasted. The comparison was conducted between models built in the absence and presence of PCA. The results showed that KNN produced better prediction without PCA (F-measure = 72.1%), whereas the other two techniques: NB and REPTree, improved when used with PCA (F-measure = 76.1% and 72.8%, respectively). This study can benefit the healthcare industry in assisting physicians in predicting breast cancer recurrence precisely.

Published: December 2020

Encapsulation is a potential technique that is widely studied and applied in the
preservation of biological compounds and living cells. Lemongrass (Cymbopogon
citratus) essential oil is a biological compound that emits a strong aroma and contains
robust antibacterial compounds, hence its applications in various areas such as food,
pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. However, lemongrass essential oil is in a liquid form, so it
is easy to evaporate and oxidize when being exposed to temperature variations, oxygen,
and light. Hence, the present study was aimed to determine the effects of heating
temperature and time on the stability of microencapsulated lemongrass essential oil
powder. In this research, microencapsulated powder was produced by the spray-drying
method using maltodextrin (30%, w/w) as the wall material and lemongrass (1.5%, w/w)
as the core material. Thereafter, the effects of heat during processing, including
temperature (60°C to 180°C) and treatment time (from 20 to 80 mins) were evaluated. The
results showed that when the temperature and the time increased, the color of powder
became darker and OR values were rapidly reduced. The selected optimal temperature and
time was 100°C and 20 mins. The encapsulated essential oil maintained its main
components including nerol, citral a, citral b, and geraniol, even after being heated.
In vitro fermentation and prebiotic potential of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) flour

Published: December 2020

Prebiotics are widely recognized particularly for their role in selectively stimulating the
growth and/or activity of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract which beneficially
affects the host health. Increasing interest has been given to the use of food materials that
contain significant amounts of prebiotic components without the necessity of extracting
these compounds. In this study, pigeon pea flour was evaluated as a potential prebiotic
source. In vitro fermentation of pigeon pea flour by Lactobacillus plantarum (BIOTECH
1223) and Escherichia coli (BIOTECH 1634) was examined based on the changes in cell
density, specific growth rate and mean doubling time of the microorganisms, as well as
the change in total sugars, resistant starch, dietary fibers (insoluble, soluble and total), pH,
titratable acidity of the media. The prebiotic activity score of pigeon pea flour was also
determined to measure the extent to which it encourages the selective growth of L.
plantarum compared with that of E. coli under the same conditions. Results showed
significantly higher growth and metabolic activity of L. plantarum than E. coli in modified
medium containing pigeon pea flour. Prebiotic activity score of pigeon pea flour is 0.14
which is not significantly different from the 0.18 prebiotic activity score of commerciallyavailable inulin. Since the prebiotic activity score of pigeon pea flour is comparable to that
of inulin, this activity can be extended to other commercially important probiotic
organisms and can serve as a rational basis for identifying synbiotics for incorporation
into various food products.
Mathematical Analysis of Evaluating the Homocystein Level in Serum as a Predictor of Meningitis Development in Newborn with Hypoxic-Ischemic Injury of the Central Nervous System
Authors:   Municipal Non-Commercial Enterprise Zaporizhzha Regional Clinical Children's Hospital of Zaporizhzha Regional Council. 70, Cathedral Ave., Zaporizhzhia 69063, Ukraine, Volotko L. O.
Published: December 2020

The main reason for the development of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is inadequate oxygen supply to brain tissue, due to a combination of hypoxemia and ischemia. Hypoxia leads to disruption of oxidative processes and the development of acidosis, decreased energy balance of the cell, an excess of excitatory neurotransmitters, impaired metabolism of glia and neurons. Excess homocysteine can also induce a cascade of events in hippocampal neurons, producing in response to acute bacterial meningitis and accumulating in the central nervous system, reaching neurotoxic levels. Understanding the pathological mechanisms of neonatal ischemic Brain injury will help optimize treatment and reduce the degree of hypoxic-ischemic damage. The purpose of the study was to assess the level of homocysteine in the blood serum as a predictor of the development of meningitis in newborns with hypoxic-ischemic lesions of the central nervous system using mathematical analysis. Material and methods. The following research methods were used in the course of work: clinical-anamnestic (subjective and objective examination data), laboratory (biochemical, immunological method, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method), instrumental (neurosonography), methods of mathematical statistics. Statistical processing of all obtained results performed on a personal computer using the license software package Statistics 13.0 (StatSoftInc, serial number JPZ8041382130ARCN10-J) and MS Excel. We used the following methods of statistical analysis in the study: descriptive statistics, parametric and nonparametric methods of comparison of mean groups, correlation analysis, multiple linear and logistic regression analysis, utility statistics: odds ratio, relative risk, ROC analysis. Results and discussion. The relationship between homocysteine and hemoglobin and gestational age was found to be direct and reversed with bilirubin. The use of linear regression analysis allowed predicting the value of homocysteine by known values of one or more predictor variables. A ROC analysis was performed to assess the diagnostic significance of homocysteine levels as an indicator of oxidative stress and to express it in some integral indicators. Conclusion. The analysis showed that high levels of homocysteine in newborns can be considered as a statistically significant indicator of oxidative stress and a predictor of meningitis in premature infants. The probability of developing meningitis in premature infants with high homocysteine levels is 1.15 times higher than in full-term infants with central nervous system lesions (p> 0.05) and 8 times higher (p <0.05) than in full-term relatively healthy infants

The constant increase in the proportion of the disabled or partially disabled elderly population and, accordingly, patients of this age contingent, leads to the need for rehabilitation and physical therapy of persons with geriatric syndromes and various comorbid pathologies. The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of a physical therapy program based on the dynamics of indicators of the fall-risk and physical status in older adults with frailty syndrome and metabolic syndrome. Material and methods. 96 older adults were examined. The control group consisted of persons without metabolic syndrome and without frailty syndrome. The main group 1 consisted of persons with metabolic syndrome and frailty syndrome who did not express a desire to cooperate with a physical therapist and / or actively improve their health on their own (low level of therapeutic alliance). They were provided with recommendations on the WHO CINDI program (diet modification, extension of household and training physical activity). Main group 2 included patients who showed consent to take active steps to improve their own health under the supervision of a physical therapist (high level of therapeutic alliance). We developed a physical therapy program for them using kinesitherapy, massage, nutritional correction, education of the patient and his family, elements of cognitive training and occupational therapy for one year. The dynamics of the state was assessed according to the results of the Short Physical Performance Battery, hand dynamometry, Senior Fitness Test, the Berg Balance Scale. Results and discussion. Older adults with metabolic syndrome and frailty syndrome demonstrated a high fall-risk (according to the results of a Short battery of physical activity tests and the Berg scale) and a statistically significant lag in physical status parameters (coordination, balance, strength, flexibility, endurance, agility) according to the parameters of the Senior Fitness Test, hand dynamometry, Short battery of physical activity tests) from their peers. These results increase the risk of adverse health effects, loss of autonomy and death. The use of physical therapy in main group 1 subjects led to a statistically significant (р<0.05) improvement in physical qualities, a decrease in the intensity of frailty signs; leveling the fall-risk in them. The low level of therapeutic alliance of persons in the main group 2 led to unsatisfactory fulfillment or non-fulfillment of the recommendations provided and is associated with a lack of improvement in their physical status and a high fall-risk. Conclusion. It is advisable to include physical therapy means in the rehabilitation programs for elderly patients with comorbid pathology of frailty and metabolic syndrome

Antik kentlerin arkeolojik sit alanı ilan edilmesiyle bu bölgeler koruma altına alınmıştır. Arkeolojik alanlarda kazılar sırasında ortaya çıkarılan değerli buluntular, taşınabilir olduklarında müzelerde hem sergilenip hem de koruma altına alınmaktadır ancak mimari buluntuların yerinde korunması gerekmektedir. Arkeolojik alanlarda kazılar sonucu ortaya çıkartılan mimari eserlerin bir süre sonra olumsuz çevresel etkenlerden korunması ihtiyacı doğmaktadır. Kent içi arkeolojik sit alanları, zamanla kentte değer verilmeyen atıl alanlara dönüşmektedir. Bu arkeolojik alanların kent içindeki varlıklarına devam etmesi kültürel mirasın korunması açısından çok önemlidir. Ülkemizde inşaat temeli kazıları sırasında arkeolojik kalıntılara son yıllarda özellikle de çok katmanlı yerleşimlere sahip illerde sıklıkla rastlanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada; ülkemizde Hatay ve Antalya illerinde ortaya çıkan iki büyük arkeolojik kalıntılar ve sonrasında korunması için yapılan mimari yapılar ele alınmıştır. İnşa sırasında ortaya çıkan arkeolojik kalıntılar sonucunda bu alanlara yapılacak projeler tamamen değişerek hem arkeolojik kalıntılar koruma altına alınmış hem de ek bir işlev eklenerek yapıların kent yaşantısı ile bütünleştirilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Ayrıca pek çok otorite tarafından iyi bir örnek olarak gösterilen arkeolojik kalıntıların üzerine inşa edilen Atina Yeni Akropol Müzesi de çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Bu çalışma üç aşamalı olarak yürütülmüştür.

A biological approach can be used to maintain the quality of food products for an extended storage life. In this research, the effects moringa parts (B), botanical concentration (C) and, storage material (S) on the quality and microbial inactivation were investigated for storage of powdered Irvingia gabonensis. The products were mixed with different parts of the powdered B (leaf, seed and bark) to form varying C (10− 20ppm); and then stored in different S (calabash, sisal and jute sacks) for 3 months. The proximate and microbial compositions of the stored products were determined using standard methods. Results show that the proximate, total coliform, viable and fungi counts decreased with C (p< 0.05). Also, the effect was more pronounced in the product stored in the jute sack treated with the 20ppm powdered moringa leaf. This can therefore be used for storing powdered Irvingia gabonensis.

An Evaluation of the Changing Nature of Power-Dependence Relations in Organizations Within the Context of the Resource Dependence Theory
Authors: ILHAN AHMET
Published: December 2020

Resource dependence theory examines the activities carried out by locating and managing power and dependence relations, that form as a result of the relations between organizations, according to the conditional changes in the environment in which they operate. However, organizations need to develop strategies and act according to environmental changes in order to sustain their maintain their survival in their environment. At this point, within the context of resource dependence theory, on the basis of the relationship between an organization and its environment, the balance of power-based relations are crucial within the scope of their dependence on necessary resources and the struggle to obtain these resources. The main problem of this study is to consider the changing nature of power-dependence relations between organizations within the context of resource dependence theory. The theoretical discussion of power-dependence relations between organizations has been supported and explained by functional, structural, and institutional approaches. Resource dependence theory is included in functional approaches and considers an organization as a social system that tries to adapt to the conditional constraints of its environment. Accordingly, the organizations of resource dependence theory included in functional approaches are determined according to how much their performances contribute to their survival, their ability to solve organizational problems, and coalitions with various abilities and interest groups. Keywords: Resource Dependence Theory, Power, Dependence, Environment, Organization.

The supervisor’s negative attitude towards voice and unavailability of communication channels are considered significant predictors of defensive silence. However, lesser consideration has been given to provide an in-depth explanation of how and why these motivational forces influence employees’ step by step conscious decision to engage in defensive silence. This qualitative study incorporates semi-structured interviews with bank employees of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Thematic coding and causal networking techniques were used to transcribe and analyse data and derive emerging themes. Taking influence from the elements of Expectancy Theory, this paper extends theory in the context of service sector by presenting two expectancy theory based defensive silence models. The first model provides reasons such as favoritism, political appointment, supervisor’s self-interest etc., to explain how and why the supervisor’s negative attitude towards voice influences employees’ cognitive mechanism to adopt defensive silence. Similarly, the second model presents the emerging themes like centralized decision system, career ladder, leg pulling, professional jealousy etc., to explain how and why unavailability of communication channels predicts defensive silence. Thus, the study extends the application of expectancy theory and defensive silence phenomenon to new empirical context. The paper concludes with a discussion on implications and recommendations for future work. Keywords: Defensive Silence; Supervisor’s Negative Attitude Towards Voice; Unavailability of Communication Channels.

The objective of this study is to offer detailed and updated overview of the factors perceived by the audit committee members to select external auditors. Moreover, the study aims to explore that what are the main determinants perceived by the clients from their external auditors. Qualitative research design is used, and open-ended interviews has been conducted to explore the phenomena under investigation. The contextual setting of the study is provided by financial firms listed on Pakistan stock exchange (PSX-100). The study finds that management continues to provide input into the selection decision of external auditors because the audit committees view management as an important information source. Audit committee seeks input from management to assess the external audit accessibility, reputation, firm’s industry knowledge and technical expertise. The result of the study suggests that more regulations are required to liable the audit committees for selecting external audit firm. The management input raises the audit risk and mitigate the audit independence. The findings remain robust for audit firms and companies looking for an independent and transparent relationship. Also, the study has implications to build transparent financial disclosure practices. Keywords: Audit Quality, Pakistan Stock Exchange, Clients Perceived Value.

The aim of the paper is to analyze animal bone assemblages from seasonal Catacomb culture campsites of the Salsk-Manych Ridge and from the Mikhailo-Ovsyanka Srubnaya settlement located in the steppe Trance-Volga region. Proposed models of seasonal population movements are based on the animal bone assemblage, the slaughter age of animals, seasonality of the animal slaughter, animal ratio and identification of local/non-local animals. The Catacomb population developed an economic system based on the rotation of seasonal pastures and organized seasonal movements within the developed economic areas. Isotope data confirm the seasonal character of the explored sites. The local Srubnaya population searched and mined ore, smelted metal, and cast items on a seasonal basis: from mid-summer to autumn. It was not possible to extract ore during the winter. The slaughter age analysis indicates to a seasonal and/or free-range system of animal husbandry. Stable isotope data demonstrates that animals were grazing near the site or in nearby areas. The local groups primarily exploited the resources in the Irgiz river basin. The presence of non-local animals could have been a result of exchange system with population from areas located far away from the place where the metal was produced.
RADIOCARBON ARGUMENTS FOR THE ABASHEVO ORIGIN OF THE SINTASHTA TRADITIONS IN THE BRONZE AGE
Authors:   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Branch of the RAS, Epimakhov Andrey V.
Published: December 2020

The article compares the chronology of some Bronze Age cultural traditions in the Volga river region and Southern Urals. The aim of the work is to test the hypothesis of oncoming migration flows of carriers of the Abashevo and Seima-Turbino traditions by determination of chronological positions for territorial groups based on the analysis of radiocarbon dates series. The groups were formed according to the cultural and territorial principle (Abashevo sites in the Volga and Ural regions, Sintashta sites in the Pre-Urals and Trans-Urals, Seima-Turbino sites in the Pre-Urals and Trans-Urals). A critical analysis and statistical verification of the reliability for the series were carried out. It made possible to abandon the use of some dates (outliers) and form intervals for all possible cases. As a result, an acute shortage of quality dating for the Pre-Urals Abashevo, Sintashta and Seima-Turbino traditions, as well as the need to check the available results for the distortion of the reservoir effect was noted. The latter was reliably diagnosed in a number of cases when the full study procedure was carried out. The earliest were the Abashevo materials of the Middle Volga and, apparently, the Seima-Turbino of Western Siberia (the last third of the 3rd millennium сal BC). Other groups form similar intervals (end of the 21st–18th centuries cal BC). This indirectly confirms the version of two oncoming migration flows, the Urals became the zone of contact and interaction of them. The first flow is the Abashevo movement from west to east and further to south and southeast, the second one is Seima-Turbino — from east to west. Archaeological traces of the interaction are well captured, but the chronological determination of the contacts and their duration requires an increase in all series sufficient for applying statistical procedures (with the exception of the Trans-Ural Sintashta series).

The monetary policy of British India was highly controversial during the interwar period as it aimed to protect the budgetary obligations and private commerce. The currency stabilization policy was seen as a tool to protect the British economic interest while they ruled India. The currency came under serious pressure during the World War I and Great depression, the facets of Indian currency’s dependence was exposed through the modified council bill system and Gold exchange standard. The much-needed currency reforms and banking system were conceded by the colonial administration after much wrangling for half a century.
An Ecological Discourse Analysis to the Chinese Slogans during the Major Economic Stages since the Foundation of PRC
Authors:   Dali Ning Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, China, Ning Dali
Published: December 2020

Slogan has a sound mass base in China for thousands of years，functioning as guidelines for civic practice. Even today, Chinese slogans are often employed by the government to promote policies and socio-cultural values. This paper, adopting an ecolinguistic approach, explores the development of Chinese slogans during the four economic stages since the foundation of PRC (People’s Republic of China) to find out how slogans influence the relationship between men, and man and the ecosystem. It is discovered that Chinese slogans in the recent decades have experienced great changes in terms of discourse type, the beneficial degree of discourse and the ecosophy they carry. They changed gradually from destructive discourse to harmonious discourse and they reflect the transition of Chinese ecological philosophy—from ‘anthropocentrism’, ‘growthism’, and ‘classism’ to ‘harmonism’. It is hoped that this study can shed light on the eco-discourse analysis to policy language and will bring insight into its future creation.

Published: December 2020

Through genetic tracing, the origins of a person and who their ancestors are can be traced scientifically even though over time their genes have evolved following ecological changes. Likewise, a person's ideas can be traced where the origin comes from through memetic tracing. This article discusses case studies in several works which are assumed to be works of design product plagiarism at one of the famous universities in Indonesia. The plagiarism process is investigated through tracking changes in their memes. The research method was carried out by investigation. Data collection and analysis through field studies and in-depth interviews with participants who are actors and users of plagiarism products. The research was conducted in 2017. The results showed that plagiarism resulted in degradation of physical and visual qualities, visual disguises for the purpose of copycat self-actualization, and a sense of innocence from them.
