La percepción de la violencia audiovisual entre universitarios: estudio de caso en estudiantes de periodismo (Universidad de Málaga)
Authors: González Fernández Sara
Published: June 2023

Este trabajo aborda la percepción que tienen los universitarios sobre la violencia emitida en la ficción audiovisual. La muestra está compuesta por 230 alumnos del grado de Periodismo de la Universidad de Málaga. La metodología utilizada es un cuestionario online de preguntas cerradas a partir de un muestreo aleatorio simple. Los resultados indican que los participantes carecen de competencias mediáticas para analizar de forma crítica los contenidos violentos de ficción. Se concluye con la necesidad de reforzar la formación mediática de los estudiantes para que cuenten con una mayor capacidad de análisis y minimizar, así, su impacto e influencia.

Affine Iterations and Wrapping Effect
Authors: Revol Nathalie
Published: June 2023

Affine iterations of the form xn+1=Axn+b converge, using real arithmetic, if the spectral radius of the matrix A is less than 1. However, substituting interval arithmetic to real arithmetic may lead to divergence of these iterations, in particular if the spectral radius of the absolute value of A is greater than 1. We will review  different approaches to limit the overestimation of the iterates, when the components of the initial vector x(0) and b are intervals. We will compare, both theoretically and experimentally, the widths of the iterates computed by these different methods: the naive iteration, methods based on the QR- and SVD-factorization of A, and Lohner's QR-factorization method. The method  based on the SVD-factorization is computationally less demanding and gives good results when the matrix is poorly scaled, it is superseded either by the naive iteration or by Lohner's method otherwise.
Componential Analysis of the Lexeme דֶברֶ (‘plague’) in Ancient Hebrew
Authors: Marrazza Massimiliano
Published: June 2023

The research is part of the compositional analysis started some time ago in the Florentine University. It is based on the application of Coseriu's theories on functional languages within Hebrew lexicographic research. In the corpus of ancient Hebrew (consisting of the inscriptions, the MT and the Qumranic epigraphic material) various functional languages characterized by chronological, dialect, sociological, and stylistic homogeneity have been identified. The research, in the first phase, comments on the occurrences of the דֶברֶ lexeme within the various functional languages in order to offer grammatical and semantic information on the lexeme itself. Subsequently, in the results, he proposes the inclusion in the overall search of the 'dimension' identified for the דֶברֶ lexeme. The reconstruction of the meanings of דֶברֶ will be given by the identification of the distinctive features, meaning by meaning the result of the complementary interaction of semantic features.
Lexeme panîm and its Greek Rendering in Exodus 33: Between Grammaticalized Idiom and Playfulness
Authors: De Doncker Ellen
Published: June 2023

This article addresses the fascinating rendering in the Septuagint version of Exodus 33 of the wordplay using the lexeme panîm, פני ם (face, front). It will firstly set out how and in what sense the lexeme is used throughout Exodus 33. Next, it strives to offer a detailed analysis of the Greek rendering of the lexeme, that does not seem to safeguard the ‘bodily subpart’ face in most of the renderings. Is this rendering due to an anti-anthropomorphism, avoiding the attribution of a bodily, anthropomorphic ‘face’ to God - or is it rather due to an idiomatic translation of the grammaticalized idiom as semipreposition? The present article argues that the Greek translation is situated carefully in between using grammaticalized idioms and a playful interaction with the immediate context of the lexeme panîm, as well as with larger intertextual issues.

Analysis of the influence of the discrete period of the zero-order hold of the digital automatic control system on dynamic indicators of control quality
Authors: Lysov Vladimir E. , Polyakov Vasilij A.
Published: June 2023

The issue of increasing the accuracy of reproduction of the master signal in a digital system for automatic control of an electric drive in the presence of a zero-order extrapolator in the block diagram is considered. The formation of discreteness in a control system with a zero-order extrapolator is considered. The analysis of the influence of the extrapolator discreteness on the dynamic indicators of the system control quality is carried out. As indicators of the quality of control direct indicators: overshoot and time of the transition process. The necessary relationship between the zero-order extrapolator quantization frequency and the bandwidth frequency of the linear part of the system is shown, which ensures the approximation of the above indicators of the quality of control of a discrete system to those of an analog prototype. The bandwidth of the analog part of the system is determined from the logarithmic frequency response. The article provides a recommendation for choosing the quantization frequency of digital controllers with zero-order extrapolators for multi-loop control systems, for example, built on the principle of slave control systems.
Induction system for heating large rings before rolling
Authors: Danilushkin Aleksandr I. , Kolpakov Dmitry V. , Shtukaturov Nikolay R.
Published: June 2023

The paper considers the issues of designing an induction system for heating large-sized hollow cylindrical billets before rolling. The specific features of the billets heating process at the installation built into the technological processing line are noted. It is shown that for increasing the efficiency of the process of heating large-sized steel billets it is expedient to carry out the system of inductors with the use of a heat shield. A study of the process of heating of workpieces taking into account the nonlinear dependence of the physical characteristics of the metal of heated workpieces on the temperature changing in the process of heating is performed. The parameters of the induction system are calculated on the basis of a two-dimensional model. The geometric parameters of the circular billet resulted in a significant nonuniformity of the current density distribution along the axial coordinate of the billet due to the strongly pronounced boundary effects. The results of numerical calculation of the electromagnetic and thermal fields at different variations of the induction system design are presented. In order to substantiate and select the design of induction system that provides heating of the ring for the time caused by the work rate of the deforming equipment. A series of calculations was made, including three options: heating by an external cylindrical inductor; heating by two inductors: heating by inductor system with a heat shield. Analysis of efficiency of the investigated variants is based on multiple refinement of the results in the process of iterative design. Results of calculation of temperature distribution in the billet during heating are presented. The results of the research can be used to develop design and operating parameters of induction ring heating system in the rolling line.

Foreign Consortium Institution and the Economic Dependency of Indonesia during the New Order: From IGGI to CGI
Authors: Masruroh Noor Naelil , Rinardi Haryono
Published: June 2023

The main purpose of this article is to analyze the economic dependency of Indonesia on sources of foreign loan funds. The problems were analyzed through the historical method based on the primary sources such as annual report from World Bank and the Indonesian Ministry of Finance. IGGI and CGI claimed to be able to support Indonesia to break away from the shackles of financial problems. Both institutions rescheduled the debt of Indonesia to the creditor countries and opened networking access of international donor from the government, private, or international donor institutions such as World Bank and IMF in two mechanisms long-term and short-term. Short term was provided to Indonesia to give space in funding import commodity, while the long-term was used to fund investment and infrastructure program. The high level of dependency made Indonesia's debt difficult to break away and the amount piled up. Indonesia's economic policy in the New Order was considered as a disaster that had an enormous effect until today.
Dari Ratu Kembang Kacang hingga Berlanggam di Istana: Kiprah Waldjinah sebagai Penyanyi Istana Negara
Authors: Mufidah Rafngi , Puguh Dhanang Respati
Published: June 2023

This study reveals the career path of Waldjinah, a Javanese style singer from Surakarta. The discussion emphasizes the background of childhood, education, and career journey. Waldjinah had an experience that was never forgotten and was also very influential on her career as a singer, namely when she was invited to sing at the state palace by President Sukarno and then continued until the time of President Suharto. Using historical method, this article reveals the childhood that later influenced Waldjinah's life choices. Apart from that, this study also reveals Waldjinah's progress in participating in singing competitions and led her to the State Palace. According to the findings, this study shows that Waldjinah's progress as a famous singer cannot be separated from the family education she received since childhood. In addition, Waldjinah's unyielding attitude brought her to the State Palace to reach the pinnacle of her career. This can be seen from Waldjinah's participation in Bintang Radio approximately three times, even though at the beginning of her participation she did not get the best results.
MORpH: Model reduction of linear port-Hamiltonian systems in MATLAB
Authors: Moser Tim , Durmann Julius , Bonauer Maximilian , Lohmann Boris
Published: June 2023

We present a novel software toolbox MORpH for the efficient storage, analysis, interconnection and structure-preserving model order reduction (MOR) of linear port-Hamiltonian differential-algebraic equation systems (pH-DAEs). The model class of pH-DAEs enables energy-based modeling and a flexible coupling of models across different physical domains. This makes them particularly suited for the simulation and control of complex technical systems. To promote the use of recent theoretical findings in engineering practice, efficient software solutions are required. In this work, we illustrate how possibly large-scale pH-DAEs can be efficiently stored and interconnected in MATLAB in an object-oriented way. We discuss three structure-preserving MOR strategies that are supported by MORpH and demonstrate the application and performance of selected MOR algorithms by means of two benchmark examples.
Modeling the compliance of the human eye with elastic membranes based on a bionic approach
Authors: Döbeli Lionardo , Haack Carsten , Heim Heiko
Published: June 2023

Objectives

Together with the corneoscleral shell the intraocular pressure maintains the shape of the human eyeball and thus ensures both mechanical and optical integrity, whereby the relationship between the intraocular volume and pressure is described by the so-called ocular compliance. The compliance of the human eye is of significance in situations where a variation of the intraocular volume leads to a change in pressure or vice versa, as this is the case in many clinical settings. In order to provide a framework and set-up for experimental investigations and testing this paper presents a bionic inspired approach to simulate the ocular compliance by using elastomeric membranes – based on physiological behaviour.

Methods

For parameter studies and for validation, the numerical analysis with hyperelastic material models shows good agreement with reported compliance curves. In addition, the compliance curves of six different elastomeric membranes have been measured.

Results

The results show that the characteristics of the compliance curve of the human eye can be modeled within a 5 % range using the proposed elastomeric membranes.

Conclusions

A set-up for experimental investigations is presented that allows the simulation of the compliance curve of the human eye without simplifications in terms of shape, geometry, and deformation behaviour.
Persistently elevated serum concentrations of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
Authors: Collazo Abal Cristina , Fernández Marcos María Covadonga , Casado Rey Pedro , Vázquez Caamaño María Pía , Alfthan Henrik , Koistinen Hannu , Stenman Ulf-Håkan
Published: June 2023

Objectives

We describe a woman with constantly elevated hCG levels in serum. Since assay interference, pregnancy or cancer did not explain the elevated levels, we measured the concentrations of hCG, its β subunit (hCGβ) and its core fragment (hCGβcf) in serum and urine using specific assays, to understand the nature of the elevated hCG levels.

Methods

We used 3 assays for total hCG (these assays also recognize hCGβ and to various degrees hCGβcf), 3 for intact hCG heterodimer, 3 for free hCGβ and one for hCGβcf.

Results

With an hCG assay detecting total hCG the serum concentrations were in the range of 150–260 IU/L for the whole study period of almost 5 years, except for a peak of 1,200 IU/L, coinciding with a spontaneous abortion. Quantitation of different forms of hCG with specific immunoassays showed that the immunoreactivity in serum consisted of hCGβ. Urine contained hCGβ and hCGβcf.

Conclusions

The laboratory findings are in keeping with familial hCG syndrome. However, so far the condition remains to be determined in any family members. Elevated hCG levels without any explanation are problematic as they cause suspicion of cancer or ectopic pregnancy and may lead to harmful therapy. Specific assays, as used here, will aid in diagnosis of such cases.
Freiheit neu vorstellen: menschliches Handlungsvermögen in Zeiten der ökologischen Katastrophe
Authors: Cooke Maeve
Published: June 2023

I address the question of human agency from the perspective of critical social theory, starting from the premise that, today, such theories must focus on the global ecological disaster. I assume, furthermore, that radical societal change is necessary in order to arrest our current disastrous ecological trajectory. Radical societal change calls for a fundamental re-orientation in values globally, on both an individual and collective level. This entails a thorough-going change in perceptions of what it means to lead an ethically good life, including revision of deepseated conceptions of ethical agency, in particular, the idea of individual freedom. Wearing the hat of an engaged theorist, I propose a re-imagining and rearticulation of freedom as ecologically attuned, self-directing, self-transforming political agency. Taking social institutions as an example, I discuss non-authoritarian authority as a force for forming and transforming ethical perceptions and attribute a similar non-authoritarian potential to critical social theories, in this case a disclosive one. While a change in ethical perceptions will not be sufficient for the required societal transformation, I claim that it is an integral component of it.
A New INAR(1) Model for ℤ-Valued Time Series Using the Relative Binomial Thinning Operator

-valued time series and either positive or negative correlations. Some properties of the process are established. Conditional least squares, Yule–Walker and conditional maximum likelihood methods are considered for the parameter estimation of the model. Moreover, simulation experiments are carried out to attest to the performance of the estimation methods. The applicability of the proposed model is investigated through a practical data set of the Saudi stock market.
Intra-stromal injection of honey-treated keratocytes as a cell-based therapy for experimental corneal laceration
Authors: Sanie-Jahromi Fatemeh , Nowroozzadeh M. Hossein , Emadi Zahra , Eghtedari Masoomeh , Khajehahmadi Zohreh
Published: June 2023

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the potential of honey-supplemented medium (HSM) for expanding corneal keratocytes and its transplantation in a model of corneal laceration.

Methods

Keratocytes were cultured in 1 % HSM- or 10 % fetal bovine serum (FBS)-supplemented medium for 24 h. The effect of HSM on keratocyte proliferation was evaluated using the MTT assay. The relative expression of Lum, Kera, and ALDH3A1, known markers of native keratocytes, was quantified by real-time PCR. The safety and efficacy of HSM-treated keratocyte intrastromal injection in a rabbit model of corneal laceration were also evaluated.

Results

The MTT assay showed that HSM treatment did not significantly affect cell viability compared to FBS-supplemented medium (84.71 ± 2.38 vs. 100.08 ± 10.92, respectively; p=0.076). Moreover, HSM-treated keratocytes had significantly increased expression of Lum, Kera, and ALDH3A1 compared to cells treated with FBS, while the expression of the proliferation biomarker Thy-1 did not significantly differ between the two treatments. Intrastromal injection of HSM-treated keratocytes in the laceration animal model was safe and uneventful, resulting in less stromal inflammation and neovascularization, and consequently, better final architecture with less residual haze compared to the group injected with FBS-treated keratocytes.

Conclusions

These findings suggest that honey is a suitable supplement for keratocyte treatment and corneal cell therapy. The use of HSM may have potential applications in the treatment of corneal injuries and diseases.
Relational Agency as a Dialectic of Belonging and Not Belonging within the Social Ecology of Plantation Life in Sri Lanka
Authors: Cunliffe Ann L. , Karunanayake Geetha
Published: June 2023

We argue that lived spaces play a crucial role in influencing how people can or cannot enact their agency. Based on an interpretive ethnographic study of work in a large Sri Lankan tea plantation and drawing on the conceptual lenses of relational agency and social ecology, we explore how workers experience their ability to act agentically in relation to their social circumstances and examine the personal and social consequences. In doing so, we extend conceptualizations of relational agency as a dialectic of belonging and not belonging within a social ecology – an ongoing flow of intertwined activities and ways of being and relating to each other that create and reproduce social orders and forms of accountability.

“Purement Amazigh”: investigating embodied ideologies and linguistic practices in Morocco
Authors: Soulaimani Dris
Published: June 2023

This research discusses language ideologies in Amazigh/Berber in Morocco. It analyzes Amazigh activists’ views on the process of Amazigh standardization, including dialect unification, script selection and reclaiming of Amazigh identity. Drawing on findings in the study of language ideologies and discourse analysis, this paper examines interviews with activists and demonstrates a connectedness between participants’ conceptions about language and their embodied actions. It also reveals ideological assemblages, in which conflicting language beliefs and practices are bound together. Through examination of the ideological divide on Amazigh language and script, the study shows how verbal and nonverbal actions iconically index aspects of Amazigh language ideologies, including linguistic purism, manifested through intricate forms of recontextualized lexical items, embodied gestures and voice features. The participants’ linguistic and non-linguistic practices provide insight into particular identity dimensions and complex social relations. The indexicalities of their utterances, which will be analyzed discursively, are better understood not only through consideration of the various semiotic resources such as embodiment, but also through discussion of specific histories of political and linguistic conflicts. The study as a whole relies on an interdisciplinary method to emphasize the political nature of language standardization and demonstrate the significant role of embodiment in language ideological research.
Assessing the subtitling of emotive reactions: a social semiotic approach
Authors: Taghian Muhammad A. A. , Ali Ahmad M.
Published: June 2023

This article attempts to evaluate emotive meanings across languages and cultures expressed and elicited semiotically from viewers. It investigates the challenges of subtitling emotive feelings in the American filmHomeless to Harvard(2003) into Arabic. It adopts Paul Thibault’s (2000. The multimodal transcription of a television advertisement: Theory and practice. In Anthony Baldry (ed.),Multimodality and multimediality in the distance learning age, 311–385. Campobasso: Palladino Editore) method of multimodal transcription and Feng and O’Halloran’s (2013. The multimodal representation of emotion in film: Integrating cognitive and semiotic approaches.Semiotica197(1/4). 79–100) framework of the multimodal representation of emotion to formulate strategies for subtitling emotion from English into Arabic. Additionally, Feng and O’Halloran’s (2013) framework is adapted to show how stylistic choices (e.g., cinematography, music, soundtracks, etc.) and semiotic expressions can elicit emotion from viewers. The social semiotic model is employed to investigate how emotive representation is realized through verbal and non-verbal items. The findings showed that the filmmakers had properly used stylistic choices and various semiotic techniques to elicit emotion from the viewer derived from the emotion of the film’s heroine.
Toxische Türöffner – Smart Ports als geoökonomisches Handlungsfeld
Authors: Borchert Heiko , Rühlig Tim , Weber Valentin
Published: June 2023

Kurzfassung

Organisatorische Transformation und digitale Technologien verwandeln Überseehäfen in sogenannte Smart Ports. Diese optimieren Lieferketten, fördern Prosperität und stärken die Resilienz, ermöglichen aber auch tiefe Einblicke in Lieferbeziehungen und wirtschaftliche Abhängigkeiten. Kompetitive Kollaboration prägt die Smart Ports, denn diese sind nur erfolgreich, wenn sie unterschiedliche Akteure, die miteinander auch im Wettbewerb stehen, vernetzen und integrieren. Dies stellt im aktuellen geoökonomischen Umfeld eine besondere Herausforderung dar, wenn ordnungspolitische Wettbewerber eingebunden werden sollen. Deutschlands Wirtschaftskraft ist von maritimem Transport abhängig, doch Smart Ports beeinflussen Berlins internationale Politik bislang kaum. Der Beitrag entwickelt deshalb in einem 5-Punkte-Plan einen deutschen Smart-Ports-Ansatz, um dieses dynamische Handlungsfeld mitgestalten zu können.
Recurrent headache, stomachache, and backpain among adolescents: association with exposure to bullying and parents’ socioeconomic status
Authors: Madsen Klara Merrild , Holstein Bjørn E. , Madsen Katrine Rich
Published: June 2023

Objectives

Recurrent pain is a prevalent and severe public health problem among adolescents and is associated with several negative health outcomes. In a representative sample of adolescents this study examined 1) whether exposure to bullying and low socioeconomic status (SES) were associated with recurrent headache, stomachache and backpain, 2) the combined effect of exposure to bullying and low SES on recurrent pain and 3) whether SES modified the association between bullying and recurrent pain.

Methods

Data derived from the Danish contribution to the international collaborative study Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC). The study population was students in three age groups, 11-, 13- and 15-year-olds from nationally representative samples of schools. We pooled participants from the surveys in 2010, 2014 and 2018, n=10,738.

Results

The prevalence of recurrent pain defined as pain ‘more than once a week’ was high: 11.7 % reported recurrent headache, 6.1 % stomachache, and 12.1 % backpain. The proportion who reported at least one of these pains ‘almost every day’ was 9.8 %. Pain was significantly associated with exposure to bullying at school and low parental SES. The adjusted odds ratio (AOR, 95 % CI) for recurrent headache when exposed to both bullying and low SES was 2.69 (1.75–4.10). Equivalent estimates for recurrent stomachache were 5.80 (3.69–9.12), for backpain 3.79 (2.58–5.55), and for any recurrent pain 4.81 (3.25–7.11).

Conclusions

Recurrent pain increased with exposure to bullying in all socioeconomic strata. Students with double exposure, i.e., to bullying and low SES, had the highest OR for recurrent pain. SES did not modify the association between bullying and recurrent pain.
Bracketing Ephemera: Robert Paltock’s The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins and Eighteenth-Century Book Culture
Authors: Zähringer Raphael
Published: June 2023

The article seeks to conceive of Robert Paltock’s The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins (1750) as a hybrid text that employs certain (formal) elements of what was to become ‘the realist novel’ as integrative bracketing mechanisms for the text’s more ephemeral as well as fantastical and subversive aspects. To do so, the article builds on recent research on the realist novel which has dragged into the light the intricacies and interdependencies of the seemingly clear-cut categories of formal realism and ephemeral writing. Accordingly, texts such as Peter Wilkins can be treated as sites of exchange or integration between these modes of writing. The article moves from the emerging divide between ‘the novel’ and ephemera in the mid-eighteenth century to Paltock’s frame narrative and to paratextual devices as well as the metaphorical function of flight. By doing so, it will be shown that Paltock’s integrative approach in Peter Wilkins hinges on a deep awareness of the bias between realist and ephemeral/fantastical writing.
A Regime Analysis: Evidence from Sri Lankan Migrant Domestic Workers’ Journeys to Saudi Arabia
Authors: Handapangoda Wasana S.
Published: June 2023

In this article, I use qualitative methods to examine the concept of a regime for migrant care based on Sri Lankan women’s transnational mobility as migrant domestic workers to Saudi Arabia. My work thus contributes to the growing body of literature on migrant care regimes from a Global South perspective, which to date has still received insufficient scholarly attention. The Sri Lanka–Saudi migrant care regime, shaped by a transnational consciousness of the possibilities for accumulation and production through reproductive labour, is located at a convergence of “translocal” gender, care, employment and migration systems. The regime is (re)produced through the relations and tensions between the family, the state and the market in an interchange of the dynamics of capitalist market forces and structural relations on various levels. The colour “brown” has emerged as a new racial classification in the global domestic sector, where power and subjectivity are constantly evolving. I argue that domestic work, which continues to be constructed as “women’s work”, represents an embodiment both of the subordination of women and of their personal autonomy. This, in turn, has broader implications for the meaning of feminine/masculine, motherhood/fatherhood, home and work.
KEYWORDS: paid domestic labour; migrant domestic workers; care regime; Saudi Arabia; Sri Lanka
Everything Everywhere All at Once and the Intimate Public of Asian American Cinema
Authors: Coe Jason
Published: June 2023

The multiple Academy Award winning sci-fi absurdist multiverse film Everything Everywhere All At Once (Daniels, 2021) uses transpacific film genre conventions to represent the possible life variations of its Asian American immigrant family protagonists. An exception to the seeming incommensurability of commercial feature filmmaking and the anti-capitalist and anti-racist traditions of Asian American cinema, the film highlights how the conventions of transpacific genre films condition the intimate public of Asian American audiences. To be legible as an Asian American, the film shows, is to be attuned to the conventions of its dominant, often hegemonic and repressive, representations. By illustrating how genre conventions condition the sense of belonging amongst its Asian American protagonists, the film offers new ways of imagining and relating with Asian America Cinema.
Urban Crises and the Contours of the Late Antique Empire through the Lens of Antioch
Authors: Bjornlie Shane
Published: June 2023

This introduction sets the stage for three essays that each address different crises in the late antique history of Antioch. The essay considers some of the difficulties presented by various methodological lenses for “reading” the urban experience of a city such as Antioch and provides a framework for understanding the cultural meaning of the late antique urban landscape and the modern discourse concerning the role of cities in the Roman Empire. The essay also considers the rhetoric of Antioch in late antique sources and the intersection of that rhetoric with the centrality of cities in the maintenance of the Roman Empire. The essay suggests that the complicity of the cityscape in modern narrative frameworks for the fall of the Roman Empire has produced teleologies that inflect the understanding of disaster and crisis at Antioch and elsewhere in the Roman Empire.
Julian’s Misopogon and the Food Shortage in Antioch
Authors: Marvin Jamie
Published: June 2023

When Emperor Julian departed from Antioch in early 363 after eight months in the city, he left behind a biting satire that he had posted in its forum. That satire, the Misopogon, is the emperor’s response to the Antiochenes’ criticisms, which they composed in verse and sang through the city streets. He claims that what aroused the Antiochenes’ animosity most of all was his handling of the food shortage that afflicted the city during his stay. Julian details the measures he took to alleviate the shortage, yet despite generous measures he had undertaken, he claims Antiochenes were dissatisfied. He blames powerful citizens for undercutting the effect of his measures and exacerbating the shortage, and he belittles their distress by depicting it as the result of insatiable appetites rather than genuine deprivation. This article focuses neither on the nature nor cause of the shortage, nor on the accuracy of its depiction in the Misopogon. Instead, it draws upon the theory of crisis management that underpins Julian’s defense against accusations that he responded poorly to the shortages. Although explicit references to the food shortage constitute a small fraction of the Misopogon, an examination of the Misopogon’s conceptual dependence on Plato’s De legibus reveals that the text in its entirety contributes to Julian’s defense of his conduct. Julian’s allusions throughout the Misopogon to Plato’s De legibus works to absolve him of any responsibility for the distress caused by the food shortage. In brief, De legibus correlates virtue and vulnerability to crisis: the soul determines behavior, and the behavior of the political community determines its vulnerability to crisis. Virtue is the proper cognitive and emotional disposition of the soul. Besides making explicit the way virtue incites behavior that reduces risk and increases resiliency to crises, Plato’s De legibus also details how an individual’s lifestyle habits indicate their soul’s disposition. In this way, the De legibus provided the framework for Julian’s defense.

Law Number 32 of 2009 requires Regional Governments to allocate an adequate environmental protection and management budget. However, the allocation of green budgeting is less than 1% of the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget. This study aims to determine the effect of green budgeting, Human Development Index (HDI), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), and population density on environmental quality in Indonesia from 2011-2020. The research method used is descriptive quantitative with panel data regression analysis techniques. Data were taken from 34 provinces in Indonesia from 2011 – 2020. The research variables are Environmental Quality, Green Budgeting, Human Development Index, Foreign Direct Investment, and Population Density. The data were obtained from the Central Agency of Statistics and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry Republic Indonesia using literature study data collection techniques. The data was processed using the Eviews 9.0 analysis tool, with the Fixed Effects Model as the best model. The finding shows that green budgeting has a positive but insignificant effect, Human Development Index (HDI) has a significant positive effect. In contrast, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and population density significantly negatively affect environmental quality in Indonesia.

Sulawesi Selatan merupakan salah satu sentra produksi budidaya tambak dan memiliki tambak terluas di Indonesia   yaitu   98.617   ha. Kabupaten Barru merupakan salah satu kabupaten yang terletak di bagian pesisir Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan yang memiliki potensi cukup besar dalam pengembangan budidaya perikanan tambak. Namun, kesesuaian lahan untuk pengembangan budidaya tambak ini belum dikaji secara menyeluruh terhadap rencana pola ruang Kabupaten Barru. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kesesuaian lahan tambak di pesisir Kabupaten Barru disesuaikan dengan rancangan tata ruang wilayah Kabupaten Barru tahun 2011-2031. Adapun metode yang digunakan adalah teknik scoring  dan overlay dengan 6 variabel berupa jarak dari sungai, jarak dari garis pantai, kemiringan, tutupan lahan, pH  tanah, dan aksesibilitas. Dari hasil penelitian, wilayah pesisir Kabupaten Barru memiliki kelas kesesuaian tinggi (S1) untuk lokasi tambak dengan luas sebesar 1.419 ha. Evaluasi kesesuaian lahan terhadap rencana pola ruang menunjukkan bahwa terdapat beberapa wilayah tambak eksisting berada pada zona tidak sesuai (N). Lokasi yang tepat untuk pengembangan kawasan budidaya tambak dengan tingkat kesesuaian tinggi (S1) dominan berada pada kawasan rencana pertanian lahan basah. South Sulawesi is one of the centers of aquaculture production and has the largest fishpond  in Indonesia, which is 98,617 ha. Barru Regency is one of the regencies located in the coastal part of South Sulawesi Province which has considerable potential in the development of aquaculture. However, the suitability of the land for the development of aquaculture has not been thoroughly studied against the spatial pattern plan of Barru Regency. This study aims to determine the suitability of the fishponds on the coast of Barru Regency according to the spatial plan of Barru Regency in 2011-2031. The method is a scoring and overlay technique with 6 variables which is distance from the river, distance from the shoreline, slope, land cover, soil pH, and accesibility. The results of this study shows that the coastal area of Barru Regency has a high suitability class (S1) for pond locations with an area of 1,419 ha. Evaluation of land suitability toward  the spatial pattern plan shows that there are several areas of existing ponds located in the non-conforming zone (N). The right location for the development of aquaculture areas with a high level of suitability (S1) is dominant in the area of the wetland agriculture plan.

On 12 May 2021, 12 August 2021, 6 September 2021 and 27 June 2022, extreme rain occured with an intensity of 58.85 mm/day, 101.3 mm/day, 124.4 mm/day and 176.8 mm/day respectively in East Kotawaringin. These phenomena occurred during the dry season and caused flooding, which is a rare condition during the dry season in East Kotawaringin. This study aims to evaluate extreme rainfall using GSMaP (Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation) data, where analysis using GSMaP has never been done before in East Kotawaringin. These GSMaP data were processed and compared with the observation data from the Meteorological Station of H. Asan, East Kotawaringin. After that, the GSMaP rainfall results are verified using statistical methods, namely RMSE, correlation coefficient and bias. The verification results show that the bias gives underestimate results for all dates. In addition, the RMSE values on 12 May 2021, 12 August 2021, 6 September 2021 and 27 June 2022 are 10.83, 17.32, 12.41 and 34.03, respectively. These high RMSE values indicate that the GSMaP rainfall value is quite far from the observed rainfall value. The correlation value between GSMaP rainfall and observations has a high correlation with values of 0.84, 0.90, 0.96 and 0.98 for each date. These results show that the GSMaP data has a good correlation value and can be used for extreme rainfall analysis at the Meteorological Station of H. Asan, East Kotawaringin.

Published: June 2023

Globally, the provision of robust education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is viewed as a vital ingredient in the economic success of any nation. Studies suggest a strong correlation between advances in the STEM fields and superiority of the leading economies of the world. Unfortunately, Africa seriously lags behind in the provision and delivery of quality STEM education. The purpose of this study is to review and consider the role that STEM education plays in the attainment of sustainable livelihoods for the African continent. The study also outlines and explores current challenges facing the delivery of STEM education in the schooling systems in Africa, with a sharp focus on sub-Saharan Africa. This study primarily utilized the conceptual analysis method and review of literature from research articles and scientific reports related to STEM education. The study revealed that the main issues that hinder the growth of STEM education in Africa include, the shortage of qualified STEM teachers, overcrowded classrooms, lack of resources, outdated curricula and inadequate teachers’ content and pedagogical content knowledge. In particular, of all the African students enrolled in higher education institutions, less than 25% of them are pursuing STEM qualifications, and of those students, only 30% are female. Several recommendations are suggested to the relevant stakeholders to address the challenges established in order to empower sub-Saharan Africa through solid STEM education.
The Impact of COVID-19 on Technologically Disadvantaged Students in Afghanistan
Authors: Khuram Mohammad Ajmal
Published: June 2023

COVID-19 has forced educators, institutions, and their staff to switch from physical to remote education This study investigates the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the international education system, particularly in Afghanistan. Specifically, this paper explores how students in Afghanistan have been affected by the pandemic, and identifies and evaluates the challenges faced by the education system of Afghanistan due to the pandemic. Moreover, factors affecting the use of technology by students in Afghanistan are also analyzed. A quantitative research methodology was utilized by collecting responses from students through a questionnaire distributed online. All data collected were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis. Results revealed that technology has not benefited students very much, and the effects of COVID-19 have been extreme on them. Furthermore, insufficient time to learn new technologies has proven to be challenging for students. Developing technology requirements for students during COVID-19 may be an important element of adaptability to the pandemic. Moreover, it was found that Afghanistan already had poor internet and technology infrastructure before the pandemic, which further deteriorated during COVID-19, leading students to experience increasing internet disconnection and costs and decreased communication with teachers. Effective strategies to deal with these problems are discussed.
