Authors: Febiandani Rosyafa , Aji Suseno Deky
Published: March 2018

Adanya desentralisasi fiskal diharapkan dapat menciptakan kemandirian daerah dan dapat mengurangi ketergantungan pemerintah daerah terhadap pemerintah pusat. Kemandirian keuangan daerah dicerminkan dengan perbandingan besarnya PAD terhadap total pendapatan daerah. Sejak 10 tahun dilaksanakannya otonomi daerah sesuai UU No 32 Tahun 2004, kemandirian keuangan daerah di Provinsi Jawa Tengah masih berada di level yang kurang baik dibandingkan dengan provinsi lainnya di Pulau Jawa. Jumlah pengangguran dan jumlah penduduk miskin di Provinsi Jawa Tengah juga masih terhitung tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan dari tingkat kemandirian keuangan daerah dan tingkat ketergantungan daerah terhadap tingkat pengangguran dan tingkat kemiskinan di kabupaten/kota Provinsi Jawa Tengah Tahun 2013. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data sekunder. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah Analisis Korelasi Kanonikal menggunakan bantuan program SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kemandirian keuangan daerah mempunyi hubungan yang signifikan, kuat, dan tidak searah dengan pengangguran dan kemiskinan. Sedangkan hubungan antara ketergantungan daerah terhadap kemiskinan dan pengangguran mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan, tidak kuat, dan tidak searah. Peningkatan kemandirian keuangan daerah guna mengurangi tingkat ketergantungan terhadap pemerintah pusat dapat dilakukan dengan cara menggali dan mengelola sumber daya atau potensi daerah yang dimilikinya secara efektif dan efisien sebagai sumber utama pendapatan keuangan daerahnya.

Determinant Analysis of Decrease In Manufacturing Export Value Amid Depreciation of Rupiah Exchange Rate
Authors: Ika Nurhayati Nanik
Published: March 2018

Indonesia uses a system of floating exchange rate. The depreciation of the exchange rate, in which the value of domestic currency decreases and the value of foreign currency increases, will increase the export. The high depreciation of Rupiah should be able to increase the competitiveness of Indonesia’s export products, especially the manufacturing exports that have the greatest contribution to the total exports. However, what has happened in recent years is very different. The depreciation of Rupiah value cannot spur the value of Indonesia’s manufacturing exports. Based on the fact above, the research is entitled "Determinant Analysis of Decrease in Manufacturing Export Value amid Depreciation of Rupiah Exchange Rate. This research uses time series secondary data for the quarterly period of 2006Q1-201Q3 that is obtained from Bank Indonesia, International Financial Statistics, and World Bank. The analytical technique used is the OLS (Ordinary Least Square) method using E-Views 6. The results of this research indicate that the Rupiah exchange rate and the GDP growth of the export destination countries have a positive relationship but are insignificant to the manufacturing exports, while the inflation rate is negative and insignificant to the value of manufacturing exports. Meanwhile, the raw material import has a significant positive effect on manufacturing exports. This shows that the Indonesia’s manufacturing exports still depend on the imported raw materials. Related to this fact, the government must take a strategic step in the short term to increase the non-oil exports, especially the exports of manufactured products that are the high value-added export products.

Authors: Susanti Susi
Published: March 2018

The discourse of the establishment of ASEAN single currency is the vision of ASEAN in 2020 with the aim to facilitate the stabilization of the regional exchange rate. The region that will form a single currency must have the same trade pattern criteria, symmetrical macroeconomic shocks and similar development economics characteristics. However, the economics indicators of ASEAN region are still inbalances. This study aims to analyze the shocks response of economic indicators in ASEAN-10. The variables in this research are Consumer Price Index (CPI), Real GDP and Trade Balance from ASEAN countries. This research model is Vector Error Correction Model. The are low correlation between Consumer Price Index (CPI), Real GDP and Trade Balance in ASEAN. The shock response from ASEAN countries to shocks that occurred in Singapore showed varying results and not symmetrical. This is shows that the requirement of formation of single currency has not been fulfilled. The result of the decomposition variant also shows that Singapore's economic turmoil is still dominantly influenced by internal conditions. However, the decomposition variant of GDP Rill shows that Laos has a higher role compared to Singapore due to the cooperative relationship between the two countries.
Mechanisms in endocrinology: Antipsychotic medication and type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose regulation
Authors: Whicher Clare A , Price Hermione C , Holt Richard I G
Published: March 2018

Objective

There have been concerns about the effects of antipsychotics on weight gain and the development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). This article aims to provide an up-to-date review on the evidence addressing this issue and the practical implications for the management of people taking antipsychotics in the context of T2DM.

Methods

We carried out searches on MEDLINE/PUBMED and the ClinicalTrials.gov website in August 2017 using the terms ‘antipsychotic’ and ‘diabetes’ or ‘glucose’ citing articles published after 2006 preferentially.

Results

Antipsychotics are associated with T2DM and are likely to exert a causal effect of uncertain magnitude. Children and adolescents appear especially vulnerable to these metabolic effects; as T2DM is not common in healthy younger people, the relative risk is more apparent. Antipsychotics act on glucose and insulin homeostasis in a variety of direct and indirect mechanisms. To reduce the increasing health inequalities among individuals with mental illness screening, monitoring and prevention of T2DM is important, as is improved diabetes care in this population.

Conclusion

It remains unclear whether these antipsychotic medications exacerbate an underlying predisposition to the development of T2DM or have a direct effect. Potential risks need to be weighed up and balanced between improved and lasting mental health benefits and any detrimental physical health side effects. Achieving parity of esteem between mental and physical health is a worldwide priority if we wish to improve life expectancy and quality of life in people with severe mental illness.
Historical Datasets Support Genomic Selection Models for the Prediction of Cotton Fiber Quality Phenotypes Across Multiple Environments
Authors: Gapare Washington , Liu Shiming , Conaty Warren , Zhu Qian-Hao , Gillespie Vanessa , Llewellyn Danny , Stiller Warwick , Wilson Iain
Published: March 2018

Genomic selection (GS) has successfully been used in plant breeding to improve selection efficiency and reduce breeding time and cost. However, there has not been a study to evaluate GS prediction models that may be used for predicting cotton breeding lines across multiple environments. In this study, we evaluated the performance of Bayes Ridge Regression, BayesA, BayesB, BayesC and Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces regression models. We then extended the single-site GS model to accommodate genotype × environment interaction (G×E) in order to assess the merits of multi- over single-environment models in a practical breeding and selection context in cotton, a crop for which this has not previously been evaluated. Our study was based on a population of 215 upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) breeding lines which were evaluated for fiber length and strength at multiple locations in Australia and genotyped with 13,330 single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) markers. BayesB, which assumes unique variance for each marker and a proportion of markers to have large effects, while most other markers have zero effect, was the preferred model. GS accuracy for fiber length based on a single-site model varied across sites, ranging from 0.27 to 0.77 (mean = 0.38), while that of fiber strength ranged from 0.19 to 0.58 (mean = 0.35) using randomly selected sub-populations as the training population. Prediction accuracies from the M×E model were higher than those for single-site and across-site models, with an average accuracy of 0.71 and 0.59 for fiber length and strength, respectively. The use of the M×E model could therefore identify which breeding lines have effects that are stable across environments and which ones are responsible for G×E and so reduce the amount of phenotypic screening required in cotton breeding programs to identify adaptable genotypes.

Romantizmas ir valstybininko idėja
Authors: Jokubaitis Alvydas , Jokubaitis Linas
Published: March 2018

[only abstract in English; full article and abstract in Lithuanian]

Schmitt was right to point out the apolitical nature of Romanticism. The romantic relationship with the world turns politics into an occasion for an individual to showcase the creative powers of one’s imagination. This leads to the aesthetic and emotional interpretation of the daily political phenomena. It gives rise to the perspective of an external observer who has no practical interest in the processes that are observed. Romantics are concerned with the emotional and aesthetic relationship with politics, and this is the source of their political passivity. The romantic relationship with the world is opposed to the idea of the statesman. The statesman is, by definition, not only an active citizen. He has to rise up to the highest standards of political leadership. The statesman has to lay the foundations for the principles that are to determine the state for future generations. In many important aspects, liberal democracy is similar to the principles of Romanticism that were described by Schmitt. Many observations point to the conclusion that the citizens of democratic societies see themselves as individuals endowed with unlimited creativity. They talk about politics but tend to avoid political commitments. The democratic principle of the majority pushes away the idea of the statesman. However, it would be a mistake to think that Romanticism is only the destroyer of the concept of the statesman. On the contrary, Romantics have made serious contributions to the emergence of national states and the statesmen who defended them. Without the impact of the Romantic imagination, it is hard to envision the national movements of Central and Eastern Europe. Schmitt’s conception of political Romanticism is foreign to this region. The historical experience in Central and Eastern Europe shows that Romanticism was more than a purely artistic movement and played an important role in the creation of the political myth of the nation. The activities of the Romantics were often very political. Schmitt did not notice the important connections between the Romantic aesthetics and the nation state. The modern nation state is inseparable from the myth of the nation, which was nurtured by Romanticism. Even by driving out the understanding of the importance of the idea of the statesman, Romanticism preserves the very condition of its possibility – the myth of the nation.

Constraints on the usage of verbal negation in Brazilian portuguese– Evidence from a spoken corpus
Authors: Lima e Silva Luis Filipe , Mello Heliana
Published: March 2018

The verbal negation system of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) presents three forms: preverbal, double and postverbal negation, as can be seen in the following examples: *MIC: [91] mas / Michael / eunãofalonessesentido // (ii) *DOM: [101] cêsnũlêemissomaisnão // (iii) *RUT: [220] participanão / minhafilha //. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether there is any kind of prosodic-informational restriction to the distribution and use of the above-mentioned negation forms in BP through the spontaneous speech corpus C-ORAL-BRASIL BRASIL (Raso& Mello, 2012). Through the analysis of the data collected from C-ORAL-BRASIL, we propose that double and postverbal negation can only occur in illocutionary information units (COM, CMM, COB), whereas preverbal negation has free distribution, occurring in both illocutionary and non-illocutionary textual units. This indicates that non-canonical negation forms depend on illocutionary force in order to be fully realized.
Astrologia, magia e culto di Apuleio nella cultura di Mattia Corvino
Authors: Pajorin Klára
Published: March 2018

As a first step towards the exposition of the contents and character of King Matthias’ natural scientific erudition and the exploration of the background and motives of the ruler’s literary patronage, we have investigated the king’s natural scientific and philosophical interest. Data from already well-known fields (astronomy and astrology, alchemy, magic), as well as evidence that has been neglected so far show that from among the studies on nature the king most intensely dealt with occult sciences, and this interest also dominated his scientific patronage, mainly his significant support of astronomy. It also influenced his affinity and commitment to Neoplatonism, the basis of which consisted of the knowledge of the teaching of Apuleius, who was well known and also honoured as a magician throughout the Middle Ages, and called by the epithet “platonicus” due to the corpus of his works. In his De vita dedicated to Matthias, offering much occult-hermetic knowledge, Marsilio Ficino adapted himself to this taste of the king. Before the making of Ficino’s translations and his Platonism, the works of Apuleius were one of the most important Platonic sources to the West and to Ficino himself; they cleared the ground for the reception of Plato’s works and of Greek Platonic-Hermetic philosophical writings.
His ego cantabo silvis? Ecloga come portavoce del discorso del potere
Authors: Csehy Zoltán
Published: March 2018

The paper deals with the strategies of using the proper names, intertextuality and allegory in the genre of neolatin bucolic poetry with special regards to Boccaccio’s eclogue Faunus. The study examines the possibilities of using the ancient code as an intertextual necromancy, the position of ego and identity in the poem, the tension between acustic and visual elements. The meaning or association-basis of the given name (mask) has special effect on the enrichment of the poetical imaginary, while the name also influences the context and the global allegorical level of the poem. The poet often uses pseudoetimological, mitological or historical approaches in the levelling of the poem, which is the part of his selfcanonisation strategies, while the genre of eclogue seems to be the mouthpiece of power.

The article discusses several passages of Thucydides’ work, asking whether Alcibiades could have been the one who informed Thucydides about the course of the events (esp. V 43–45; VI 89–92; VIII 5–6; VIII 12; VIII 45–56). The only place where Thucydides magnifies Alcibiades’ influence is VIII 12; but there are other passages which could be based on information from Alcibiades, if he did not care about moral implications of his actions. On the other hand, several passages show clearly that Thucydides had no illusions about Alcibiades (esp. VIII 81. 3 and 86. 4). And yet, it is beyond doubt that Thucydides would try to be informed by Alcibiades and no decisive arguments against the possibility that the two met have been raised, so it seems probable that Alcibiades was one of Thucydides’ sources of information.
Crimen maiestatis and the poena legis during the Principate
Authors: Melounová Markéta
Published: March 2018

It has been argued that during the reign of Roman emperors the crime of lèse-majesté was punishable by death, and the arbitrariness of its prosecution has been considered one of the negative aspects of this era. However, the debate on the origin, date and content of the law, which should have formed the frame for all trials, the lex Iulia maiestatis, has not been sufficiently concluded. The paper will attempt to prove that it was the aquae et ignis interdictio, i.e. non-voluntary exile, not death, that remained the poena legis during the Principate; death could also be inflicted, but not as the legal penalty. The possibilities of the cognitio extra ordinem, which spread from the beginning of the Principate, and the role of the Senate will be duly considered.

Selat Sunda sebagai penghubung antara Laut Jawa (LJ) di interior Laut Indonesia dengan Samudera Hindia (SH) di tepi luar Indonesia diduga berperan penting dalam menyalurkan signal dinamika laut yang terjadi di tepi SH ke dalam interior laut Indonesia, atau sebaliknya.  Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji struktur dan variabilitas arus di kawasan perairan Selat Sunda (SS).  Data deret-waktu hasil keluaran model sirkulasi umum laut resolusi-tinggi (1/12°) dari INDESO antara tahun 2007-2010 dianalisis untuk kajian di dalam makalah ini.  Validasi model dengan data observasi satelit menunjukkan korelasi tinggi (0.76 dan 0.90) untuk lokasi sampling box di SH dan LJ.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tinggi muka laut di sisi LJ selalu lebih tinggi dari pada di sisi SH, kecuali pada periode bulan November-Januari dimana terjadi pembalikan aliran arus ke arah utara, yang diduga datangnya gelombang Kelvin dari ekuator SH. Intensifikasi arus kearah baratdaya  di LJ terjadi di kedalaman 10-20 m, tetapi di SH terjadi di dekat permukaan dimana arusnya mengalir kearah tenggara. Variabilitas arus di kedua lokasi bervariasi dalam rentang skala-waktu intra-musiman, semi-annual, dan annual.  Amplitudo spektrum densitas energi untuk komponen arus zonal lebih tinggi di kedua lokasi studi.  Dalam skala-waktu intra-musiman, koherensi yang signifikan untuk komponen arus zonal di kedua lokasi terbentuk pada periodisitas 23-51 harian dengan fluktuasi arus di sisi SH mendahului dari arus di sisi LJ.

Hasil keluaran model sirkulasi umum laut resolusi-tinggi (1/12°) antara tahun 2007-2010 dari proyek INDESO digunakan untuk mengkaji struktur dan variabilitas arus di dua lokasi di sekitar perairan Selat Sunda, satu lokasi di sisi Laut Jawa (LJ) dan satu lagi di sisi Samudera Hindia (SH). Validasi model tinggi muka laut dengan data altimetri menunjukkan nilai koefisien korelasi yang tinggi, yaitu 0.90 di SH dan 0.76 di LJ. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tinggi muka laut di sisi LJ selalu lebih tinggi dari pada di sisi SH, kecuali pada  bulan November-Januari yang diduga adanya pembalikan aliran kearah utara berkaitan dengan kedatangan gelombang Kelvin. Struktur arus di LJ menunjukkan adanya intensifikasi arus di kedalaman 10-20 meter ke arah barat daya (menuju Selat Sunda). Di SH intensifikasi arus berada di dekat permukaan yang mengalir ke arah tenggara. Hasil analisis spektrum densitas energi arus di LJ dan SH memperlihatkan adanya variabilitas arus dalam rentang skala-waktu dari intra-musiman, semi-annual, dan tahunan. Spektrum densitas energi komponen arus zonal lebih kuat dibandingkan komponen arus meridional di kedua lokasi penelitian tersebut. Amplitudo densitas energi arus yang kuat tercatat di SH dibandingkan di LJ.
Yenidoğan ve Süt Çocuklarında Girişimsel Ağrı ve Non-farmakolojik Yönetimi

Ağrı sağlık durumunu direk etkileyen
kontrol edilmediğinde hayatın bütün alanlarında olumsuz sonuçlar doğuran bir
sorundur. Tüm çocuklara doğumdan itibaren bir dizi girişimsel ağrılı işlem
uygulanmaktadır. Kan alma, enjeksiyon, aşı gibi girişimsel işlemler çocukların
en büyük ağrı kaynaklarındandır. Ağrının yarattığı travma çocuklarda başta iğne
fobisi olmak üzere, aşı uygulamalarında aksaklık, tedaviye uyumda yetersizlik
sebebi olabilir ve bu durumlar önlenebilir birçok hastalıkta salgınlara neden
olarak çocukları savunmasız bırakabilir. Özellikle beyin gelişimin hızlı olduğu
süt çocukluğu döneminde ağrının gelişimsel ve emosyonel etkilerini gidermek
için girişimsel işlem ağrıları iyi yönetilmelidir. Ağrı yönetiminde farmakolojik
ve non-farmakolojik pek çok yaklaşım vardır. Farmakolojik yöntemlerin deneyimli
personel tarafından uygulanma zorunluluğu, komplikasyon riski ve maliyeti
nedeniyle kullanımını nerdeyse imkansızdır. Sükroz, kıvırarak tutmak, anne kucağı, kanguru
bakımı, emzik vermek, taktil uyarı, emzirme, kundaklama kullanılan yenidoğan ve
süt çocukları için kullanılan non-farmakolojik yöntemlerdendir. Bu makale
yenidoğan ve süt çocuğunda girişimsel işlem ağrıları ve bunun non-farmakolojik yönetiminin
önemini vurgulamak için yazılmıştır.
Remoción de sulfuro de hidrogeno (h2s) contenido en el biogás, generado por un reactor anaerobio tipo uasb– diseño factorial 32.
Authors: Cerrón Serpa Víctor , Matos Chamorro Alfredo
Published: March 2018

El objetivo de esta investigación fue la de determinar la eficiencia de un biofiltro para remover ácido sulfhídrico (H2S) contenidos en el biogás, generado por un reactor anaerobio tipo UASB para lo cual se evaluó el efecto de dos factores: Concentración de ácido sulfhídrico (41 – 90 ppm, 91 – 140 ppm y 141 – 190 ppm) y el tiempo de residencia (10.80 s, 27 s, 43.20 s) en relación a la eficiencia de remoción (%).  El diseño experimental utilizado fue el diseño factorial 32 más cuatro puntos centrales. El factor más significativo fue el tiempo de residencia (p=0.021943) y la mayor eficiencia de remoción de ácido sulfhídrico obtenida fue de 100% al operar el biofiltro a un mayor tiempo de residencia (43.20 s), además, se determinó que la concentración de sulfuro de hidrogeno no tuvo efecto significativo sobre la eficiencia de remoción.
