The subject of the research is archaic, cosmogonic, heroic religious and prophetic myths that have transformed and are the basis for the representation of mythology in modern popular culture. The purpose of the study is to identify and outline the patterns in the development of types of mythology, to understand their significance in the context of the cultural and social aspect for ancient man and modern society. As a part of the study, special attention is paid to the analysis of popular mythological plots that are broadcast in modern popular culture. The choice of the research methods is determined by the purpose and objectives of the paper: comparative-historical, comparative-religious, textual approach. The method of comparative studies revealed the patterns of development of mythology, its changes taking into account the needs of society. As a result of the study, it was revealed that mythology is divided into several types, each of which has its own peculiarities in the context of social and psychological standards of the social system, and fixed at certain times. Modern myths broadcast in popular culture are a representation of the three previous types of mythology.
Relativistic Concept of Meaning as a Basis for Formation of True Knowledge, Understanding of Language and Communication Development (on the Example of D. Davidson’s Theory)
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Grigorenko Ekaterina Vladimirovna
Published: September 2020

The paper analyzes the relativistic concept of truth, which develops an individual approach to the interpretation of the meaning of statements. This is its main difference from the correspondence theory of truth and the coherence theory of truth, which are aimed at forming an ideal model of language with strict concepts that reflect the material world. One of the most famous representatives of the relativistic approach is the American philosopher D. Davidson. In his works, he writes that the interpretation of the meaning of a statement depends on the place, time and speaker’s intentions. If the content and focus of these aspects change, there is a change in the interpretation of meaning. According to the author of the paper, the relativistic concept of truth, aimed at individual understanding, is more productive for communication and dialogue.
On the Difference between Moral and Intellectual Virtues

Published: September 2020

This study raises the question of moral and intellectual values relations. The paper criticizes L. Zagzebski’s position that intellectual virtues are a subclass of moral ones. The thesis that some crude correlation between moral and intellectual virtues may exist, they may even partially coincide, but this cannot be called a causal or logical connection is substantiated. The study presents a theoretical model of intellectual virtues deduction from moral ones and, by analyzing a number of cases, it is shown that the virtues of the same name, such as moral honesty and intellectual honesty, moral humility and intellectual humility are conceptually not reducible to each other.

Authors: Fauziah Hana , Sumarsongko Taufik , Azhari Azhari
Published: September 2020

Pendahuluan: Bruxism adalah aktivitas parafungsi oklusal pada siang atau malam hari dimana terjadi grinding, clenching, dan gnashing. Bruxism dapat memberikan tekanan berlebih pada tulang sehingga tulang beradaptasi melalui proses remodeling tulang yang dapat mengubah jumlah, densitas, dan ketinggian tulang. Perubahan yang terjadi pada tulang dapat dianalisis dengan mengukur ketinggian tulang kortikal mandibula. Salah satu metode pengukuran yang dapat digunakan adalah indeks panoramik mandibula (PMI) melalui radiografi panoramik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis perbedaan ketinggian tulang kortikal mandibula pada penderita dan bukan penderita bruxism. Metode: Jenis penelitian ini adalah analitik cross sectional. Sampel penelitian ini terdiri dari dua kelompok, yaitu 30 sampel radiograf panoramik digital penderita bruxism dan 30 sampel radiograf panoramik digital bukan penderita bruxism. Data dianalisis menggunakan independent t-test pada software MegaStat 10.1. Hasil: Hasil analisis p-value menunjukkan ketinggian tulang kortikal mandibula regio kanan penderita bruxism dan bukan penderita bruxism adalah 0,1517mm dan regio kiri adalah 0,2036mm (p-value>0,05). Simpulan: Tidak terdapat perbedaan ketinggian tulang kortikal mandibula antara penderita bruxism dan bukan penderita bruxism.Kata kunci: Bruxism, kortikal mandibula, indeks panoramik mandibular. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Bruxism is an occlusal parafunction activity during the day or night that includes grinding, clenching, and gnashing. Bruxism can exert excessive pressure on the bone so that the bone adapts through the process of bone remodelling, which can change the amount, density, and height of the bone. Changes that occur in the bone can be analysed by measuring the height of the mandibular cortical bone. One of the measurement methods commonly used was the panoramic mandibular index (PMI) through panoramic radiography. The purpose of this study was to analyse the differences in the height of the mandibular cortical bone in bruxism and non-bruxism patients. Methods: The type of research was cross-sectional analytic. The sample of this study consisted of two groups, which were 30 samples of digital panoramic radiographs of bruxism patients and 30 samples of digital panoramic radiographs of non-bruxism patients. Data were analysed using an independent t-test in the MegaStat 10.1 software. Results: The results of the p-value analysis showed that the mandibular cortical bone in the right region of bruxism and non-bruxism patients was 0.1517 mm, and in the left region was 0.2036 mm (p-value > 0.05). Conclusion: There is no difference in the mandibular cortical bone height between bruxism and non-bruxism patients.Keywords: Bruxism, mandibular cortical bone, panoramic mandibular index.

Authors: Lampasona Julieta
Published: September 2020

La desaparición forzada de personas en la Argentina produjo múltiples rupturas psicosociales. En el caso de los sobrevivientes de los Centros Clandestinos de Detención (CCD), la vida con posterioridad a la (propia) desaparición se fue desplegando con pesares, miedos y modalidades diversas de persistencia de la violencia vivida. A partir del análisis de entrevistas en profundidad a sobrevivientes de los CCD, en este artículo se abordan las primeras reconfiguraciones producidas en los espacios de acción e interacción, haciendo foco en la desarticulación de los espacios relacionados con la acción política y las (re)construcciones de nuevos entramados, vinculados principalmente con ámbitos privados de la vida cotidiana, como la familia y el estudio.

Published: September 2020

Visualizar la discriminación de las mujeres en ciencia es fundamental. Aquí exploramos este proceso y su percepción en el Programa de Desarrollo de las Ciencias Básicas-Geociencias (Uruguay). Datos históricos revelaron mayor proporción de mujeres que varones entre estudiantes y egresadas/os, relación que se invirtió entre investigadoras/res especialmente en grados mayores y de dirección. Sin embargo, una encuesta mostró una baja percepción de esta inequidad. La existencia de barreras imperceptibles en la carrera universitaria y su invisibilización en el territorio universitario podrían explicar el fenómeno. Será fundamental continuar la discusión e identificar acciones para disminuir esta brecha en Geociencias.
Beach Vitex (Vitex rotundifolia): Medicinal Properties, Biology, Invasive Characteristics and Management Options1
Authors: Cousins Matthew M. , Briggs Jeanne , Whitwell Ted
Published: September 2020

Beach Vitex (BV) (Vitex rotundifolia-L. f.) has become a major invasive plant in the fragile beach ecosystems of the Carolinas. This prostrate, salt tolerant shrub from the Pacific Rim was introduced to the southeastern United States as a landscape plant. It has since established large-scale clonal monocultures through rapid vegetative reproduction. Concerns surrounding exclusion of native species and inhibition of sea turtle nesting have served as the impetus for control efforts of BV in coastal areas of southeastern US. In areas where it occurs naturally, native peoples have included BV in their pharmacopias for treatment of many ailments. The purpose of this review is to raise awareness of its invasive potential while serving as a compilation of information about the biology, ecology and medicinal properties of BV. Its potential beneficial uses indicate a need for further exploration and development of this plant but only in areas away from the coast. This plant is a major invasive problem in coastal areas for many reasons and must be dealt with quickly so that it will not become a larger problem. Imazapyr effectively controlled beach vitex in reported greenhouse and field studies applied either as a cut stem treatment or as a foliar spray.

Wave Propagation and Localization in a Complex Random Potential with Power-law Correlations: A Numerical Study
Authors: Nguyen Ba Phi , Dang Huu Dinh
Published: September 2020

In this paper, we investigate numerically wave propagation and localization in a complex random potential with power-law correlations. Using a discrete stationary Schrӧdinger equation with the simultaneous presence of the spatial correlation and the non-Hermiticity of the random potential in the diagonal on-site terms of the Hamiltonian, we calculate the disorder-averaged logarithmic transmittance and the localization length. From the numerical analysis, we find that the presence of power-law correlation in the imaginary part of the on-site disordered potential gives rise to the localization enhancement as compared with the case of absence of correlation. Depending on the disorder's strength, we show that there exist different behaviors of the dependence of the localization on the correlation strength.

Response to comment made by Angulo-Ramos and Merino-Soto entitled “Effect size: comment on the study on the Factors associated with the practice of exclusive breastfeeding
Authors: Mateus Solarte Julio Cesar , Cabrera Arana Gustavo Alonso
Published: September 2020

This letter focuses on recent and interesting work on breastfeeding, to emphasize two observations. The first observation refers to the fact that, in Mateus and Cabrera’s manuscript  It was hardly discussed whether the referred knowledge and skills may be relevant to understanding the mothers’ behavior regarding their commitment to breastfeeding. The relevance of these cognitive aspects requires more attention due to their relationship with breastfeeding practices, and in general with the long-term mother-infant dyad.
Because the knowledge and skills to maintain successful breastfeeding have implications for developing instructional content in interventions for mothers as well, great attention needs to be paid to the size of the effect of differences between reported frequencies in pregnancy and the immediate puerperium. In Table 3, these differences were examined by the McNemar statistical test, which allows obtaining the statistical significance of the rejection of the null hypothesis of no differences. But neither this test nor the size of its p-value inform about the degree or size of the differences. An estimate of the size or magnitude of the differences, represented as point values or confidence intervals (as reported in Tables 4 and 5), tend to better specify tests of statistical significance.
Subjection and Resistance: Landscapes, Gardens, Myths and Vestigial Presences in Olive Senior's Gardening in the Tropics
Authors: Regis Hannah
Published: September 2020

This paper argues that a selection of Caribbean writers has engaged an aesthetic that spotlights the idea of a living or divine landscape through a deployment of folkloric, mythological, magical or spiritual epistemological frames. This aesthetic foregrounds the expansive possibilities of nature and other life forms in the wake of empire and global modernity. By an engagement with these tools, the creative writer deconstructs the limits of colonial ecological damage and modern-day agricultural devastation, while simultaneously affirming the Caribbean landscape as an active and creative agent within articulations of community and belonging. Through a blend of eco-criticism as examined by Elizabeth DeLoughrey and Wilson Harris's formulations of the "living landscapes" and Caribbean mythologies, this essay seeks to interrogate the manner in which Caribbean poet, Olive Senior, consciously deploys the literary imagination as a platform to plant seeds of reform and activism in the trail of environmental destruction. Senior accomplishes this through notions of mythic time and space that are unfettered by monolithic ideologies and linearity. This signposts an effort to posit a reliance on a spirit-infused universe—a deeply felt ideology which is pivotal to acts of environmental healing and societal recuperation.
The Sui Utik, Creative Works and Tembawang: Retaining Biodiversity in Kalimantan, Indonesia
Authors: Rombe Octaviana Sylvia Caroline
Published: September 2020

This paper discusses how the Dayak Iban community of Sui Utik, Kalimantan, with the help of Sekar Kawung, a social enterprise foundation, uses the indigenous system of Tembawang to challenge deforestation and concomitant problems of air pollution through creative works based on the materials of the local rainforest. The research for this paper includes interviews with the founder of Sekar Kawung foundation, literature reviews, photographs, social media reports and community summaries. Sui Utik, in collaboration with Sekar Kawung, has developed creative works including weavings, an innovative application of tattoos, food and beverage products, and eco treks. The research found that the Sui Utik community, which started producing creative works in 2015, have continued their practice as social entrepreneurs. It is suggested that they should now expand their practice by working together with other indigenous entrepreneurs to challenge Indonesian craftsmen and designers to take their creativity, skills and knowledge to an international market. As part of this move, the development of innovative marketing tools using new technologies should be explored, while maintaining local wisdom as the core value for making creative works.

Published: September 2020

The management of marine waste is an increasingly complex issue facing the world today. Our study provides an interesting take on the issue of marine waste by examining how Indonesian indigenous communities can deal with plastic marine pollution. While there is an obvious need for mitigating plastic use, for effective legislative policies regulating plastic waste management, and to do more to develop sustainable waste management practices; there are also opportunities for indigenous communities to take an innovative approach by using plastic waste in a manner that drives economic development from both non-market and neoliberal theoretical ideologies. As part of this assessment, alongside Indonesian examples we include examples of plastic re-use by indigenous communities of the Philippines and Australia. Moreover, our study highlights some of the areas in which this is being done in the fields of art and infrastructure development.

Published: September 2020

The union of transition metal catalysis with native biochemistry presents a powerful opportunityto perform abiotic reactions within complex biological systems.(1,2) However, several chemicalcompatibility challenges associated with incorporating reactive metal centers into complexbiological environments have hindered efforts in this area, despite the many opportunities it maypresent. More challenging than chemical compatibility is biocommunicative transition metalcatalysis, where the reactivity of the metal species is regulated by native biological stimuli, akinto natural biocatalytic processes. Here we report a novel Au(I)-DNAzyme that is activated by shortnucleic acids in a highly sequence-specific manner and that is compatible with complex biologicalmatrices. The active Au(I)-DNAzyme catalyzes the formation of a fluorescent molecule with >10turnovers. This functional allostery, resulting in chemocatalytic signal amplification, is competentin complex biological settings, including within recombinant E. coli cells, where the catalyticactivity of the Au(I)-DNAzyme is regulated by transcription of an inducible plasmid. We furtherdemonstrate the potential of this transition metal oligonucleotide complex as a highly sensitive andselective hybridization probe, permitting the detection of attomolar concentrations (ca. 60molecules/µL) of SARS-CoV-2 RNA gene fragments in simulated biological matrices with ≥85%accuracy. Notably, this sensitive detection platform avoids expensive and poorly-scalablebiochemical components (e.g. post-synthetically modified oligonucleotides or enzymes) andutilizes small molecule fluorophores, inexpensive Au salts and oligonucleotides composed ofcanonical bases. This discovery highlights promising opportunities to perform abiotic catalysis incomplex biological settings under transcriptional regulation, as well as a chemocatalytic strategyfor PCR-free, direct-detection of RNA and DNA.

Published: September 2020

Self-concept, interest, learning motivation, and prerequisite knowledge potentially contributes to academic achievement. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between self-concept, interest in becoming a teacher, academic achievement of prerequisite courses and prospective teachers’ competencies of microteaching. This correlational study involved 105 sixth semester students of science department in Education and Teacher Training Faculty (FKIP) of Pontianak, Tanjungpura University. The data collected by using the self- concept questionnaire and the questionnaire of interest in becoming a teacher. The achievement of prerequisite courses and the students’ competencies of microteaching taken from the academic subdivision of the faculty. The analysis found that self-concept, interest in becoming a teacher, and academic achievement in prerequisite courses associate significantly with prospective teachers’ competencies of microteaching (respectively rs = .35, rs = .38, and rs = .60, p < .05). In addition, coefficient of multiple correlation is also significant (R = .61, p < .05). It means that the relative contribution of predictor variables of this study on prospective teachers’ competencies of microteaching is 37.60% and the remaining 62.40% is determined by other uninvestigated variables. The study indicated that the prerequisite courses relate significantly with students’ ability to execute microteaching. Thus, an institution of teacher training should continually upgrade the quality of learning and instruction by providing the essential prerequisite content of courses the prospective teachers required.

From the Paradigm of ‘Listen to the Doctor’, to ‘Listen to the Patient’
Authors: Manoppo Peter Johannes
Published: September 2020

Nowadays, the paradigm of ‘Listen to the Doctor’ is weakening in health-care-delivery. The higher expectation of health-care-delivery quality expectation, the better patient-best-preference, and the more complicated system in health-care-delivery, have led to the shift of the paradigm to ‘Listen to the Patient’. Ethically, these situations are enhancing the bargaining position of the patient based on the principle of respect for autonomy. The principles of ethics in health-care- delivery are very important as the proper ground to anticipate the possibilities of unethical behavior by the health-care-provider and caregiver. Those evolutions are also enhancing the efforts of improving the quality of medical human resources, up-to-date medical technology, novel medical researches, and efficient cost-benefit ratio, so that the patient’s health, safety, quality-of-life, and patient-best-preference, can be achieved on the highest level. The paradigm of ‘Listen to the Patient’, which is in line with the principle of respect for autonomy, should be implemented to improve health governance and create the best health-care-delivery quality, good quality-of-life, patient safety, and patient-best-preference to any extent.

Published: September 2020

Nowadays, natural and cultural resources are being rapidly depleted. However, protection approaches that can be effective against this situation are not exhibited. Existing resources are at risk of extinction with to use incorrect of space. In order to be able to make the right resource use and planning decisions, it is necessary to determine the optimal area uses considering the ecological basis. The study was conducted at the border urban area of Kastamonu province. Natural and cultural resource values have been examined to determine area uses. In the first phase, the literature search is completed. Then field inventory studies were carried out. In the second phase; numerical suitability maps have been established for three different field types of agriculture, forest, settlement areas. Geographic Information Systems program, that ArcGIS 10.0 software, was used as a tool. Finally, the optimal fitness of the digitized areas has been determined. Potential resource values of Kastamonu city center, due to incorrect use of areas and lack of planning, was determined not adequately assessed. To prevent incorrect use of space; local governments are required to make area utilization decisions in a short time. Making the environmentally sensitive planning studies, to provide tourism within the protection-utilization balance of resources and it has been found that the promotion of the promotion is very economically important.
It has been determined that there is misuse in the study where ecological conformities of existing natural and cultural resources are tested. It has been determined that resource values for these areas have deteriorated due to misuse. The reason behind all this is unconscious urbanization.
It has been determined that sustainable resource use will not be possible due to this pressure.
Social Work Intervention against Illegal Child Adoption
Authors: Udechukwu Ngozi Stella
Published: September 2020

Children most times are vulnerable to abuse, unable to decide what happen to them and that is why intervention is necessary for the lives of children that are sold to unknown destinations in Nigeria. This study investigates social work intervention strategies against illegal child adoption in Enugu State, Nigeria. Mixed method design is used to authenticate data collected from questionnaire. Ministry of Gender Affairs (Welfare Unit Staff) Enugu and Welfare Office Nsukka were interviewed on the process of adoption and its efficacy. Two hundred questionnaires were shared to 200 respondents using availability sampling as method of their selection. The data were computed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 20). The findings show that majority 142 (71%) of the respondents saw adoption as acceptable and government approved while 58 (29%) said it stigmatizes and culturally disapproved. It also showed that majority 126 (63%) go for illegal adoption while 74 (37%) follow legal means. The reasons for illegal adoption – 88 (44%) said cheaper avoiding bottlenecked procedures at the social welfare; 81 (40.5%) said fear of being stigmatized by neighbours and 24 (12%) ignorance of its consequences. Some 72 (36%) said that some sell off their babies to avoid the stigma, shame, family/society’s prosecutions, 85 (42.5%) for economic reasons; 24 (12%) is to do away with the baby and continue with life and 19 (9.5%) supports all of the above reasons. Majority 157 (78.5%) said no serious attention has been given by the government to stop baby selling due to corruption of the law enforcement agencies. The entire 200 (100%) respondents agreed that social workers have many roles in preventing illegal adoption like working with the federal ministry of women or gender affairs to ensure proper child adoption and follow up after adoption to ensure the safety of the baby, since many baby buyers use them for rituals.

Authors: Ramenskaya Lyudmila
Published: September 2020

The concept of ecosystem enjoys growing popularity among academics and practitioners around the globe. However, due to the inconsistent use and the vagueness of definitions, the application of the concept in economic and management studies is impeded. The paper systematizes the prerequisites, theoretical foundations and conceptual framework of ecosystems as a concept for describing a new structure of social relations. The methodological basis of the research is organizational ecology theory, dynamic capabilities theory and neo-institutional theory. Structural-logical, bibliographic and criterion analysis are the main research methods. The article substantiates the expediency of using the prefix “eco-” when describing the interaction between a company and its environment, and indentifies the primary provisions of organizational ecology affecting the emergence of the ecosystem concept. The author examines the intermediate position of the ecosystem in the neo-institutional dichotomy of market– hierarchy. The study discusses the extent to which the ecosystem influences dynamic capabilities of a firm, and demonstrates inconsistencies in using the term “ecosystem” in academic texts. As a result of bibliographic analysis, we distinguish between four central research discourses of the ecosystem concept (business, innovation, entrepreneurial and platform-based ecosystems), as well as establish their terminological peculiarities and main research avenues. The results obtained can be used to develop the theory of ecosystems and describe ecosystems of real business.

Self-medication is a common practice in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). There are few studies on mothers’ practice of self-medication in children in DRC. Trying to draw an inventory of this practice, we carried out a survey of self-medication of children under 12 years of age by their mothers (n = 392) in Lubumbashi, DRC. The main objective was to assess frequency of self-medication and the secondary purposes were to describe habits, dangerous behaviors and common mistakes. The results speak for themselves: 96% of the mothers self-medicate their children; 95.7% do not know the exact dosage of the drug used; 97.17% do not check the expiry date; over 91% of the mothers use antimalarials, 41.3% antipyretics/analgesics and 26.3% antibiotics. Healthcare practitioners should involve household members in focused awareness on self-medication and its negative implications in order to encourage them to serve as change agents against the practice by mothers.
