Authors: Siraj Syed Shahid , Zulqarnain Syed , Kaur Perkash , Dar Mohammad Ayoub , Kachroo Munira
Published: May 2023

All over the world, the public is being informed about the physical effects of COVID-19 infection and protocols are being made to prevent exposure to the corona virus and manage symptoms of COVID‐19 if they appear. However, the effects of this pandemic on individual’s mental health and behavior have not been studied in detail and are still not known. Efforts are being made to focus on understanding the clinical features, routes of transmission, epidemiology, and management of the COVID‐19 outbreak, there has been very little concern expressed over the effects on one's mental health and on strategies to prevent stress. The aim of this study was to assess the post traumatic stress disorder symptoms among the care takers of COVID-19 patients and care takers of non COVID-19 patients and compare the results to explore the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of the population associated with the COVID-19 patients. This may help in future in early detecting the post traumatic stress disorder associated with covid-19 or any other pandemic and may help in taking early measures to avoid it and improve the mental health of general population.

The study finding revealed that among care takers of covid-19 patients majority of study subjects (93.3%) had complicated PTSD, (6.7%) had Diagnostic PTSD and none of the subjects had Partial PTSD whereas, among care takers of non covid-19 patients majority of study subjects (36.7%) had Partial PTSD, (26.7%) had complicated PTSD, (23.3%) had no PTSD and (13.3%) had diagnostic PTSD. This indicates that the covid-19 had more psychological impact on the care takers than any other life threatening disease. This may be due to fast dissemination of covid-19, more deaths attributed to the pandemic and care takers concern for his/her health.

The study concluded that the covid-19 had more psychological impact on the care takers than any other disease conditions. So there is need to improve the strategies to reduce the risk of developing PTSD symptoms in this group of population.
Od dominacji do kontestacji (i z powrotem?): Demokracja republikańska i jej krytycy
Authors: Grygieńć Janusz
Published: May 2023

Przedmiot artykułu stanowi koncepcja demokracji kontestacyjnej zaproponowana przez Philipa Pettita oraz jej miejsce we współczesnej myśli republikańskiej. Autor tekstu opisuje relacje łączące tę koncepcję z ideami demokracji radykalnej i wolności republikańskiej, jak też jej implikacje instytucjonalne i związane z nią kontrowersje. Rozważone zostają główne zarzuty krytyków Pettita: fragmentaryczności i niedemokratyczności proponowanych przez niego rozwiązań, niepożądanych konsekwencji jego postulatu deliberacyjności i odpolitycznienia życia politycznego. Autor tekstu twierdzi, że jednym z największych braków koncepcji Pettita jest próba odpolitycznienia demokracji przez upełnomocnienie nienadzorowanych demokratycznie gremiów eksperckich. Prowadzi ona do pytania o kryterium stosowania instrumentów radykalno-demokratycznych i elitarystycznych, na które Pettit nie udziela zadowalającej odpowiedzi.
Ontologia społeczeństwa, dobro wspólne i kontestacja. Wokół pewnych kategorii państwa republikańskiego w ujęciu Philipa Pettita
Authors: Wierzchosławski Rafał Paweł
Published: May 2023

Philip Pettit jest jednym z czołowych filozoficznych kodyfikatorów (neo-)republikańskiej koncepcji wolności i rządu, który kieruje się ideałem nie-dominacji (imperium i dominium). Jednocześnie jest autorem wielu ważnych prac z obszaru filozofii nauk społecznych (kwestia wyjaśniania i interpretacji), etyki (konsekwencjalizm), ontologii społecznej (jak istnieją grupy społeczne) oraz filozofii umysłu (jak funkcjonuje podmiot intencjonalny).

W świetle krytyk i polemik, jakie pojawiły się ze strony nowej „fali republikańskiej”, by określić tym mianem zwolenników populistycznego republikanizmu (John P. McCormick i inni), którzy oskarżają przedstawicieli wcześniejszej generacji tradycji republikańskiej, takich jak Johh G.A. Pocock, Quentin Skinner, a zwłaszcza właśnie Philip Pettit, o arystokratyczne „odchylenie” (jedynie klasy wyższe i elity korzystają na projekcie depolityzacji republiki) istotne jest wskazanie na znaczenie dla  odczytania projektu republikańskiego wypracowanych przez Pettita rozwiązań w ontologii społecznej. Autor stawia tezę, że dopiero uwzględnienie jego stanowiska w ontologii społecznej pozwala na pełne zrozumienie (co nie znaczy, że akceptację) jego propozycji w filozofii politycznej.

Struktura artykułu jest następująca:

(1) autor przedstawia trzy wymiary ontologii społecznej w ujęciu Pettita;(2) następnie pokazuje ich znaczenie w definiowaniu kategorii dobra wspólnego w kontekście republikańskiej wspólnoty politycznej (model condominium),(3) wskazuje na pewne paradoksy związane z realizacją republikańskiego ideału obywatelskiej kontestacji.

Jednocześnie autor zwraca uwagę na ewolucję projektu republikańskiego (pewnych jego aspektów) w zależności od analogicznych ewolucji propozycji (rozwiązań) w ontologii społecznej.
El Perú en la política comparada : temas de estudio
Authors: Dargent Eduardo
Published: May 2023

Tal vez la mayor sorpresa del estudiante peruano que inicia un doctorado en Ciencia Política en los Estados Unidos o el Reino Unido es descubrir la enorme bibliografía sobre el Perú en la academia anglosajona. El número de estudios sobre el caso peruano debe encontrarse solo por debajo de los dedicados a Argentina, Brasil, México, tal vez Chile. Paradójicamente, muchos de estos trabajos son poco conocidos en la comunidad académica local. Barreras de idioma, la dificultad de acceder a publicaciones especializadas y la ausencia de escuelas de ciencia política en el país hacían difícil este diálogo. En la actualidad, por suerte, varias de esas barreras han ido desapareciendo. El presente artículo busca contribuir a esta aproximación presentando cuatro temas en los que el caso peruano ha sido importante para la política comparada. Los temas son: 1) participación política de sectores populares, 2) autonomía del Estado, 3) régimen político y 4) reformas de mercado. Un análisis de seis revistas publicadas en Canadá, Estados Unidos e Inglaterra (tres de ellas de política comparada y tres de enfoque regional) desde 1980 hasta 2009 muestran la predominancia de estos cuatro temas al analizar el Perú (aunque el tema de participación política es mucho más amplio que la discusión en la que me centro pues incluye a los estudios sobre partidos políticos).
Agencia y estructura, y el colapso de los sistemas de partidos en los países andinos
Authors: Tanaka Martín
Published: May 2023

América Latina ha tenido una vida accidentada a lo largo de su actual experiencia democrática, resultado de la «tercera ola» democratizadora (Huntington, 1993; Hagopian & Mainwaring, 2005); ha habido crisis e inestabilidad política que han generado crisis presidenciales y mandatos interrumpidos (Valenzuela, 2004; Pérez Liñán, 2008). Sin embargo, solo en un número acotado de casos ha ocurrido el colapso de los sistemas de partidos vigente hasta ese momento y todos ellos han ocurrido en los países andinos: Perú en 1992, Venezuela en 2000, Bolivia en 2005 y Ecuador en 2007. ¿Cómo explicar estos casos, en los que súbitamente el conjunto de actores políticos que constituían el sistema de partidos prácticamente desaparecen para dar lugar al predominio o a la hegemonía de una fuerza antisistema que se legitima con la pretensión de refundar el orden político?
Representación, competencia y unidad en el Congreso Peruano
Authors: Valladares Molleda Jorge
Published: May 2023

El documento está dividido en tres partes. La primera ubica el examen de la unidad y la diferenciación en su original predio teórico, la representación política. Luego procedo a conceptualizarlas en dos sentidos complementarios: como ejercicios de coordinación en la producción de políticas que constituye la concreción del ciclo representativo; y como elementos decisivos en la construcción de la identidad del partido ante el electorado. Me detengo brevemente en las dimensiones programáticas en que ambas se manifiestan. El lector interesado en datos puede obviar la primera sección e ir directo a la segunda, que está dedicada al análisis general de la unidad de los grupos y la diferenciación oposición-gobierno. La conclusión contextualiza los hallazgos en términos de hipótesis sobre el sistema de partidos que podrían guiar el estudio más profundo de la representación política en el Perú.
El desarrollo de las zonas fronterizas
Authors: Lossio Olavarría Javier
Published: May 2023

En los últimos años, el tratamiento del tema fronterizo ha tenido un cambio positivo tanto en la política interna de los países, como en las relaciones bilaterales y multilaterales. Dicho cambio se ha visto influenciado por procesos de carácter mundial, pero también por la iniciativa de integración de espacios subregionales, como la Comunidad Andina, y por el interés de los países por propiciar el desarrollo de sus espacios fronterizos. En este trabajo se hará una rápida revisión del nuevo enfoque, desde el cual se aborda el tema de la frontera como punto de partida, para luego explorar los diferentes procesos que han influenciado en la adopción de esta nueva perspectiva por parte de los países y de los organismos multilaterales. Finalmente, se explorarán los diferentes mecanismos e instrumentos de política que los países andinos han adoptado en el marco de las relaciones multilaterales y bilaterales, los cuales reflejan un cambio de enfoque en el tratamiento de este tema

Su vida y su obra se han situado en las fronteras de la literatura y la antropología, la realidad y la ficción, la oralidad y la escritura, la cultura andina y la criolla. Arguedas fue narrador, poeta, etnólogo, educador, funcionario público, amante del folclor y un gran comunicador que tendiópuentes interculturales en el Perú. A partir de la revisión de algunas de sus obras,ensayos, cartas del autor y testimonios de músicos peruanos, el presente artículoexplora una faceta aún poco estudiada de Arguedas: su rol como promotor dela música andina en el Perú.
Perspectivas de apaplicación en la fenomenología de la comunicación prelingüística
Authors: Casallo Víctor
Published: May 2023

La fenomenología aclara sistemáticamente las estructuras y procesos que hacen posible las diversas experiencias comunicativas desde sus estratos fundamentales prelingüísticos. El artículo argumenta que esta perspectiva permite una comprensión más profunda de las experiencias de reintegración personal y social de reclusos y niños autistas a partir de la interacción con animales. Sostiene, siguiendo las tesis de David Abram, que el redescubrimiento de la amplitud de las posibilidades comunicativas en los seres humanos abre alternativas de respuesta a los malestares culturales que se van profundizando en las culturas urbanas contemporáneas.

Descubriendo a través de los sentidos algo más que el talking-head: el Documental como Entrevista Panestésica
Authors: Carbonell Isabelle
Published: May 2023

Las metodologías empleadas en la entrevista documental a menudo se simplifican demasiado y no se teoriza al respecto, y los talking heads (cabezas parlantes), la técnica de entrevista más empleada dentro del documental, a menudo se percibe como si fuese la única mientras es solo una entre muchas. ¿Qué metodologías alternativas son posibles en un documental que tenga en cuenta el mundo sensorial y que vaya más allá del talking head? Desde un enfoque multisensorial, no solo para las entrevistas sino también para todo mi proceso de realización cinematográfica, he desarrollado un nuevo método de entrevista denominado: método panestésico. Baffle Their Minds with Bullsh*t, Kerry Leigh (2013) presenta al talking head como metodología, mientras que en The Blooming (título provisional) le conecto un micrófono inalámbrico a Wynn, mi entrevistado, durante más de 18 horas en un barco pesquero. Al contrastar estos dos casos de estudio, el método panestésico surge como una propuesta metodológica para repensar el documental.

Authors: Thriveni P. , Rani B. Sandhya , Sunitha N. , Mohan M. Madhan , Sagar G. Karuna
Published: May 2023

Background: Pulses are commonly known as food legumes, next to cereals in production and consumption in India. India is the leading producer of pulses in the world. In spite of being a leading producer, India is still importing pulses to meet consumer demand, due to low productivity of pulses due to various reasons. Hence, there is a need to improve the productivity in pulses. Potassium application in pulse crops have been paid less attention, among different nutrients. Methods: A field experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with factorial concept (FRBD) during Rabi, 2021-22 to enhance the productivity and quality of blackgram with potassium fertilization. Result: The present study revealed that among different potassium levels, soil application of 40 kg K2O ha-1 improved the growth parameters, yield attributes, seed and haulm yields and economic returns of blackgram, which was statistically at par with soil application of 30 kg K2O ha-1. With regard to different foliar sprays tried, foliar application of 1% KH2PO4 at flowering and pod development stages recorded higher growth parameters, yield attributes, seed and haulm yields, protein content and economic returns of blackgram, which was statistically on par with foliar application of 1% KCl or 0.5% KNO3 at flowering and pod development stages. The interaction effect between soil application of potassium and foliar fertilization of potassium could not exert any significant influence on any of the parameters studied in the present investigation.

Prolegômenos : Letras na América Portuguesa
Authors: Rodrigues-Moura Enrique
Published: May 2023

O cânone nacional brasileiro exclui essas obras por serem, cronologicamente, anteriores ao nascimento do Brasil como Império e, posteriormente, como República. Felizmente, nos últimos decênios já não se pode dizer que a poesia de Gregório de Matos seja uma novidade, mas sim se pode apreciar um interesse especial pelo seu suposto viés subversivo. No entanto, vale a pena lembrar, com as palavras sempre certeiras de Hansen, que as Letras escritas na América Portuguesa «não questionam a própria instituição do privilégio, mas os abusos, que são caracterizados como vulgares, néscios e também bárbaros e heréticos» (Hansen 2019: 51). No outro lado do Atlântico, o cânone nacional português desconheceu a maior parte desses textos por serem, geograficamente, alheios ao Portugal europeu (e ilhas: Açores e Madeira). Eram textos que, de um e do outro lado do Atlântico, não encaixavam nas formações das literaturas nacionais que começaram a se estabelecer a partir do século XIX. No entanto, esses textos são testemunhos de uma rica e complexa vida cultural transatlântica nos séculos XVI, XVII e XVIII. Havia autores, havia textos, havia leitores, e todos em estreita relação com o que se escrevia e lia (ou encenava) em Portugal e, em geral, na Península Ibérica. A cronologia e a geografia, o tempo e o lugar (chronos e topos) atuaram como categorias redutoras de uma heterogeneidade cultural inerente a qualquer espaço cultural, logo, também ao espaço cultural luso-brasileiro. Atualmente, as literaturas nacionais não feneceram, mas perderam o seu lugar eminente no panteão do saber universitário de cada país. O projeto homogeneizador da Modernidade não mais vigora no presente. Interessam, agora, as práticas culturais dialógicas, transculturais, transfronteiriças, poliglotas e híbridas, que propiciam o resgate e a interpretação de textos e discursos ausentes do cânone mais frequentado, como podem ser os textos produzidos na América Portuguesa. Em suma, textos, práticas culturais e formas de ler de um tempo passado, que se regiam por outros modelos retórico-poéticos e teológico-políticos, e que se reproduziram por quase trezentos anos nos Estados do Brasil e do Maranhão e Grão-Pará, partes inalienáveis do Reino de Portugal: Letras na América Portuguesa.

Published: May 2023

Background: Hypercholesterolemia is one of the most common diseases in the world, with cholesterol levels exceeding normal levels. Hypercholesterolemia can cause various systemic disorders in the body. One of the signs is by decreasing HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol levels. Dragon fruit peel contains many ingredients, such as vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin C, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and other minerals that can affect the increase in HDL production and reduce total cholesterol levels. Purpose: To know the effect of red dragon fruit peel extract (Hylocereus polyrhizus)on increasing levels of High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) in male rats (Rattus norvegicus) hypercholesterolemia. Methods: Male rats were made hypercholesterolemic using a mixture of lard (3 ml) and egg yolk (1 g) for 14 days orally. 20 hypercholesterolemic male rats were further divided into 5 treatment groups and given dragon fruit peel extract therapy with different treatments, namely T0 negative control (CMC-Na 1% + aquadest), T1 positive control (Simvastatin 0.0013 mg/200 g BW), T2, T3 and T4 (each 100, 150, 200 mg/kg BW red dragon fruit peel extract) for 14 days orally.  Blood serum was taken on day 36 and tested in the laboratory using a chemical analyzer machine; then the data were analyzed using the univariant multiple way one-way ANOVA statistical test with a significant difference (p>0.05). Results: The P4 treatment group has an effective dose (200 mg/kg BW) to increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels, while the P3 treatment group (dose 150 mg/kg BW) is less effective but can still have an effect. Conclusion: This research showed that red dragon fruit peel extract could increase HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol levels with an effective 200 mg/kg BW dose.

Authors: Solfaine Rondius , Rahmawati Indra , Desiandura Kurnia , Yuriska
Published: May 2023

Background: On November 18, 2022, euthanasia and hen necropsy were conducted (protocol number A-164) in the veterinary pathology laboratory, Faculty Of Veterinary Medicine, Wijaya Kusuma University Surabaya. The hen belongs to a local farmer located at Sawahan, Surabaya. Based on the anamnesis, it is known that the hen was four months old and weighed 1.4 kg. The population consists of eight birds, and one of them was sick, never treated or vaccinated, in a cage made of bamboo, corn fodder, rice bran, and drinking water from tap water. Clinical symptoms show a decreased appetite for the last day, watery eyes, runny nose, lethargy, and diarrhea with feces green mixed with white colors. The initial diagnosis of the chicken was infected with Salmonella sp. with a differential diagnosis of Escherichia coli. Purpose: To diagnose bacterial disease in local chickens with a pathological examination, parasitological examination, microbiological isolation, and clinical pathology for hematology. Result: The results of the anatomic pathology examination showed that the chickens had hemorrhagic tracheitis, hemorrhagic necrotic pneumonia, hemorrhagic necrotic enteritis, hemorrhagic necrotic hepatitis, and hemorrhage in the proventriculus. Parasite identification was found in Raillietina sp. and Ornithonyssus sylviarum. Isolation of bacteria was found in Escherichia coli from the duodenum organ. The chickens had hypoproteinemia, poikilocytosis teardrop and rouleaux, leukocytosis with heterophilia, and monocytosis. Conclusion: Based on the examination associated with the results of anamnesis and examination of clinical symptoms, the chickens were diagnosed with Escherichia coli infection together with Raillietina sp. and Ornithonyssus sylviarum infestations.
Iron phthalocyanine coupled with nickel-iron selenide layered hydroxide derivative as dual-functional oxygen electrocatalyst for rechargeable zinc-air batteries

Published: May 2023

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for dual-functional non-precious metal electrocatalysts are promising alternatives for Pt/Ru-based materials in rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs). However, how to achieve dual-functional oxygen electrocatalytic activity on single-component catalysts and identify the sites responsible for ORR and OER still face many challenges. Herein, an efficient and stable dual-functional electrocatalyst is fabricated by a two-step hydrothermal method with iron phthalocyanine (FePc) π-π stacking on nickel-iron selenide layered hydroxide derivatives (Se/Ni3Se4/Fe3O4). The as-prepared multi-component catalyst (named as FePc/Se@NiFe) exhibits better oxygen electrocatalytic properties than Pt/Ru-based catalysts, with a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.90 V and an overpotential of 10 mA cm-2 (Ej10) of 320 mV. More importantly, chronoamperometry (I-T) and accelerated durability tests (ADT) show the unordinary stability of the catalyst. Both physical characterization and experimental results verify that the Fe-N4 moieties and Ni3Se4 crystalline phase are the main active sites for ORR and OER activities, respectively. The small potential gap (ΔE = Ej10 - E1/2 = 0.622 V) represents superior dual-functional activities of the FePc/Se@NiFe catalyst. Subsequently, the ZABs assembled using FePc/Se@NiFe exhibit excellent performances. This study offers a promising design concept for promoting further development of high-performance ORR and OER electrocatalysts and their application in ZAB.
Coupling Normalized Abundance with an Improved Continuum Removal Algorithm for Quantitative Inversion of Carbonate Minerals Using Hyperspectral Data
Authors: Chen Lei , Wang Linfeng , Ma Ying , Lin Yanzhen , Chen Shengbo
Published: May 2023

Mapping or quantitative inversion through remote sensing technology is an active way for mineral monitoring in large or uncultivated forest areas. Different spectral features of minerals, induced by ionic composition, can be identified which are related to mineral type or abundance. Based on the distinctive spectral absorption around 2.33µm induced by the carbonate ion, we use it as an analytic target to propose an improved continuum removal (ICR) algorithm to couple with normalized abundance to evaluate the relationship between continuum removal band depth (CRBD) and carbonate ion abundance. Through experimentally testing with synthetic and real image data, ICR with ratio abundance normalization can enhance the linear relation of CRBD and abundance. We find this technique performs best for abundance retrieval. The lowest root mean square error is 0.0400 for synthetic data and the mean relative error is as low as 6.80% for real image data. Compared with five other algorithms, coupling normalized carbonate mineral abundance with ICR can improve the quantitative retrieval accuracy of carbonate ion. By using a hyperspectral library, we also present a way to retrieve abundance without ground samples. These results make the quantitative inversion of mineral abundance more reasonable by distinct or enhanced features and provide great potential for use to extend mineral information extraction in the absence of sample data, even for surveys of the Moon and Mars for mineral quantitative analysis.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) develop from the mucosa of the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx. The methylation levels of Septin 9 (SEPT9) and short stature homeobox 2 (SHOX2) genes in ccfDNA are considered pan-cancer biomarkers and have shown prognostic value in preliminary reports in HNSCC. Liquid biopsy is a non-invasive procedure that collects tumor-derived molecules including circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA). Here, we developed a ddPCR-based assay to detect the DNA methylation levels of plasma circulating SEPT9 and SHOX2 in patients with HNSCC. We first set up the assay on commercial methylated and un-methylated DNA. Then, the dynamic changes of the methylation levels of SEPT9 and SHOX2 were quantified in 20 patients during the follow-up. The results highlighted: i) the capability of the ddPCR-based assay in detecting very low copies of methylated molecules; ii) the significant decrease in methylation levels of SEPT9 and SHOX2 in plasma of HNSCC patients at the first time points of follow-up respect to T0; iii) a different trend of longitudinally DNA methylation variations associable to the clinicopathological features of the patients. The absolute quantification of the methylation levels of SEPT9 and SHOX2 in HNSCC may be used for risk stratification and disease monitoring.

Authors: Zakiah Aisyah
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine the challenges of implementing green building concepts for residential buildings from the developer's point of view. Nowadays, housing provision in Indonesia highly depends on the property developer. Hence, the role of property developers in implementing green building concepts in residential buildings is incredibly significant. Data collection was conducted by sending questionnaires to various developers in Indonesia. The result shows that the main challenges in executing the green building concept are the lack of forceful regulations followed by a lack of market technology and training. In addition, during the implementation process, it was discovered that all developers had applied certain green building strategies, such as green area provision, site selection close to public facilities, natural lighting design, and ventilation design.

The physical change of Sarinah in 2022 captivates the residents of Jakarta. In the previous era, this building had lost its glory due to the lack of focused planning for renovations, especially when Jakarta's development accelerated with the presence of many new modern buildings. This writing uses a qualitative descriptive method with a historical approach. The analysis of architectural typology on the building facade is conducted by exploring the history to find out the origin of events, functions, and simple forms of a building. The aim is to provide an overview of the importance of giving more attention to the renovation of historic buildings. Changes in building facades can show a different identity from one urban space related to the political and socio-cultural context. Determination of cultural heritage status provides benefits for its preservation by increasing the potential of buildings to revive memories and the continuity of urban modernism.

The study was carried out in settlements area in Desa Gunaksa, Klungkung, as the oldest empire in Bali. This research was conducted using a mixed-method with a descriptive-comparative analysis technique. Found 6 (six) authentic angkul-angkul that are 60-75 years old, that are used as case study to analyze its form and proportion characteristic. Proportion comparison ratio of angkul-angkul’s length: height: width: foot width: body width: roof height: and door opening width is 1 : 2 : 0,5 : 0.35 : 0.28 : 0.40 : 0.26. The study found that proportion comparison of its height and width ratio is 2 : 1, concluded that angkul-angkul in Gunaksa are implement ancient cecandian form with Paushtika proportion based on the Manasara-Silpasastra.
The Rise of Centralistic Governance in Spatial Planning in Indonesia and Australia: A Comparative Study

Since the Reformation, spatial planning governance has moved away from authoritarianism toward a more democratic style of government. However, the current Job Creation Regulation has heralded the return of the centralistic governance in spatial planning. Surprisingly, Australia is also experiencing this trend. This study will look at how the centralistic phase of spatial planning was implemented in Indonesia and Australia. By using a normative method, the results reveal that the spirit of centralization is obvious in the Job Creation Regulation. The central government has a dominating role in the implementation of spatial planning. It also controls the issuing of detailed plan. Because of the need to produce a digital map, the central government now has a power over the granting of spatial planning permission. In Australia, the local government evaluates and decides on the vast majority of planning applications. A countervailing tendency, nevertheless, has seen state governments take on some of the planning and decision-making duties once exercised by local governments. The state minister and development assessment panels are now responsible for authorization of significant projects. This pattern appears to depoliticize and simplify the application process for development projects, especially when those projects have financial advantages.

Published: May 2023

The study of China in Indonesia has never ceased; the study itself is always fascinating. China is unique both in terms of language and culture. The title 'The Role of Confucius in the Development of China Today' was chosen to examine and understand how China has developed itself through the influence of Confucius. To realise the Chinese dream, China's traditional cultural heritage is a fundamental force that cannot be ignored. The values of Confucius have been the basic norms of Chinese society for a long time, although they were restricted and banned during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) as a result of the movement to abolish old values, and have now been revitalised, in parallel with the establishment of Confucius Institutes in many countries around the world.
Effectiveness and Reflection: Short Video Marketing Explodes the Market of Domestic Literary Films-- A Case Study of Return to Dust
Authors: Wei Qu , Haiyan Chen
Published: May 2023

The audience spontaneously acted as "tap water" to initiate short video marketing, successfully triggering the box office market of the domestic literary film Return to Dust, making it a typical case of the film industry with great significance. The "tipping point" of the film at the box office is not only due to the combined effect of the dissemination of the short video of secondary creation and the live streaming of the traffic stars but also due to the topic sense created by the spiritual core of the film itself. At the same time, it benefits from the cross-media communication environment created by the UGC (user-generated content) model and the precise push of big data. With the combined force of these three parties, a breakthrough effect was formed, creating a "box office miracle" for domestic literary films. The short video explosion of the domestic literary film market is quite enlightening: only by taking quality as the core to create excellent films and taking traffic as a gripper to promote film cross-media marketing, can we get out of the film development road of "traffic + quality" with Chinese characteristics.
