The β2-adrenoceptor agonist formoterol restores mitochondrial homeostasis in glucose-induced renal proximal tubule injury through separate integrated pathways
Authors: Cleveland Kristan , Schnellmann Rick
Published: August 2022

Background and Purpose: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a driving factor in
the development and progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Our
laboratory discovered that the 2-adrenoceptor agonist formoterol
regulates mitochondrial dynamics in the hyperglycemic renal proximal
tubule. Here, we identified signaling mechanisms through which
formoterol regulates the mitochondrial fission protein Drp1 and the
mitochondrial fusion protein Mfn1. Experimental Approach: Using primary
cultures of renal proximal tubule cells (RPTC) exposed to high glucose,
we investigated the role of glucose on RhoA/ROCK1/Drp1 and
Raf/MEK1/2/ERK1/2/Mfn1 signaling pathways using pharmacological
inhibitors, and the effect of formoterol on these pathways. Key Results:
In high glucose, RhoA became hyperactive, leading to ROCK1-induced
activation of Drp1. Using pharmacological inhibitors, formoterol signals
through G subunits of the 2-adrenoceptor to decrease
RhoA/ROCK1-mediated activation of Drp1. Formoterol restored this pathway
by preventing the interaction of RhoA with the guanine nucleotide
exchange factor p114RhoGEF. Inhibition of RhoA/ROCK1/Drp1 restored
maximal mitochondrial respiration. Formoterol also restored Mfn1 through
a separate G-dependent mechanism composed of Raf/MEK1/2/ERK1/2/Mfn1.
RPTC exposed to high glucose exhibited decreased Mfn1 activation, which
was restored with formoterol. Pharmacological inhibition of G, Raf and
MEK1/2 also restored Mfn1 activity. Conclusion and Implications: We
demonstrate that glucose promotes the interaction between RhoA and
p114RhoGEF, leading to increased RhoA/ROCK1/Drp1, and glucose decreases
Mfn1 activity through activation of Raf/MEK1/2/ERK1/2. Formoterol
restores these pathways and mitochondrial function in response to
elevated glucose. Formoterol activates three separate integrative
pathways that promote mitochondrial biogenesis, decreased fission and
increased fusion in RPTC, supporting its potential as a therapeutic for
DKD.
Wastewater Management in Hanoi: The Possibility of Using a Soft Path Approach
Authors: Trang Nguyen Thi Thu , Walsh John , Robert McClelland
Published: August 2022

Hanoi is known as the City of Lakes because there are some one hundred natural or manmade watercourses within its territory. However, in common with all of Vietnam, more than 60% of the city’s water resources derive from beyond the country’s borders. Much of that water is polluted, both within Hanoi and downstream because wastewater is discharged directly into the Nhue and Day rivers via the Nhat Tuu and Ba sewers, among other channels. International attempts to revive the To Lich River in the city, notorious for its black color and unwholesome smell, have proved to have only limited success. There is some scope for new materials to improve filtration effects and experiments in this area continue. Rapid urbanization in Hanoi has been intensified by the sudden decision to increase the city’s size so that it became comparable to the southern capital of Ho Chi Minh City. This has led to large areas of industrial land being incorporated into municipal water management systems. One possible means of relieving the pressure on these systems would be to employ approaches derived from the soft path of water management. To date, most scientific investigation of these issues depends almost entirely on technocratic approaches to water management issues and the attempt to force technical solutions to deal with social issues. Consequently, this paper investigates the possibility of understanding how Hanoi residents interact with current wastewater management approaches and how their needs might be better met in the future.

Authors: Dos Santos Fraga Luana , Pelegrini Tatiane , Pengo Bagolin Izete
Published: August 2022

The paper aims to analyze the levels of educational intergenerational mobility of students graduating from higher education in the years 2004 and 2018 and to identify the characteristics associated with the chances of higher levels of educational intergenerational mobility. The paper's main contribution is to provide evidence regarding how public policies contributed to intergenerational mobility. Moreover, the results highlight the persistent inequalities, which are often veiled by apparently positive results that do not conform to the real conditions necessary to break the cycle of poverty between generations. We use data from the Brazilian National Student Performance Exam (ENADE) and estimate an Ordered Probit. The study innovates in the use of data from university graduates, construction of mobility levels, calculation of mobility in relation to the father and the mother separately and controlling for the effect of higher education expansion policies. The results show that greater chances of intergenerational mobility in relation to parents are linked to the following conditions: being a woman; being over 24; a lower income family; not white or yellow; financially helping the family; studying in private institutions; having a scholarship or a Fies loan; being a ‘quota student’ and being a distance learning.

Published: August 2022

This study presents the methodology, a description of the resources and results of an LTE-A coverage measurement campaign developed in an academic campus, as part of the teaching laboratory activities of a mobile communications course at the Bolivian Private University in Bolivia. As a first stage, a topographical survey of the campus and a definition of measurement routes were carried out. Second, RSRP key performance indicators were identified in Network Cell Signal & Wi-Fi info Lite, the tool that was used to collect data. As a third step, measurements were made along the selected routes. After analyzing the results obtained, it is possible to conclude that the measurement methodology is constructive for academic purposes and teaching in a Telecommunications Engineering program. Besides, a general optimization for the availability of service on campus can be proposed and better levels of coverage of one of the mobile operators were observed with respect to that of a second operator.

Published: August 2022

Se investigó el uso de ferrato de potasio sintetizado como opción de tratamiento para la remoción de la materia orgánica (DQO) y del color contenidos en aguas residuales de una planta teñidora y lavadora de telas. Los tintes orgánicos industriales usados en el proceso son: Reactive blue 19, Allura red y Reactive black 5. Como resultado de un diseño experimental a temperatura ambiente, se encontró una dosis óptima de ion ferrato de aproximadamente 90 mg-FeO42-/l a un pH = 7, condiciones que generaron una eficiencia de remoción de DQO disuelto de 82% La eficiencia de remoción de color fue mayor al 80% a pH = 7 y una dosis de ion ferrato de 120 mg/l. El proceso de coagulación-floculación tarda 21 min i.e. 1 min de agitación rápida y 20 min de agitación lenta y controlada a una velocidad de corte de 33 s-1. La velocidad de sedimentación crítica de los flóculos formados fue de 3,5 cm/min en las condiciones óptimas. Con esta velocidad se puede diseñar sedimentadores de una carga superficial de 50,4 m3/m2/d que es superior a los valores usados comúnmente en el diseño de sedimentadores en las plantas de clarificación de aguas destinadas al consumo humano. En conclusión, el estudio demuestra que el uso del ferrato de potasio como coagulante y oxidante, es efectivo para la remoción de la materia orgánica y la decoloración de aguas residuales provenientes de la industria textil.
DESIGN, PRODUCTION AND PLACEMENT OF HOT MIX ASPHALT WITH ADDITION OF WASTE PLASTICS - BOLIVIA CASE STUDY
Authors: Velásquez Garnica Sergio Bernabé , Villegas Villegas Rafael Ernesto
Published: August 2022

La gestión de residuos sólidos municipales representa un problema importante para las autoridades municipales en Bolivia debido a las cantidades excesivas que se generan y los problemas medioambientales relacionados con ello. Entre los residuos municipales se pueden encontrar materiales de gran valor que pueden ser reaprovechados, sin embargo, sólo se recicla el 4% de estos materiales [1]. La adición de desechos plásticos a las mezclas asfálticas es una excelente oportunidad para reusar una gran cantidad de plásticos y obtener un mejor desempeño del pavimento. Por lo tanto, en este estudio se analiza el desempeño de mezclas asfálticas con adición de plástico y las modificaciones necesarias en los procesos de producción y colocado. La adición de un nuevo material a la mezcla asfáltica puede ocasionar importantes cambios en las propiedades de la mezcla. Debido a ello, se llevaron a cabo ensayos de laboratorio para definir la proporción adecuada de plástico a ser añadido a la mezcla. En este estudio, se analizaron mezclas con adición de Polietileno Tereftalato (PET) y Polietileno de Alta Densidad (PEAD) mediante ensayos Marshall e IDEAL-CT. Se encontró un mejor desempeño a deformaciones permanentes y tolerancia al agrietamiento al añadir 1% de PET a la mezcla asfáltica y se cumplieron las especificaciones empleando hasta 3% de PET, sin embargo, según los resultados de los ensayos, la adición de PEAD reduce la calidad de la mezcla asfáltica. Las operaciones convencionales de una planta asfáltica no consideran la adición de un nuevo material a la mezcla, por lo tanto, se deben realizar modificaciones en el proceso de producción. Si los plásticos son expuestos a temperaturas elevadas pueden llegar a fundirse o degradarse, causando cambios a la mezcla de diseño, dañando el equipo de la planta asfáltica o produciendo problemas medioambientales. Debido a ello, el plástico debe ser dosificado en una sección posterior al tambor de secado. Estas modificaciones se realizaron en una planta asfáltica con el objetivo de construir un tramo de prueba en la ciudad de El Alto, Bolivia y para analizar el proceso de construcción cuando se emplean plásticos de desecho.
MODELACIÓN HIDROLÓGICA EN LA CUENCA DEL RÍO ROCHA INCORPORANDO LINEAMIENTOS DE CAUDAL ECOLÓGICO

Published: August 2022

En los últimos años, se ha notado que el ciclo del agua en el valle central de Cochabamba ha aumentado su variabilidad, debido al incremento de la demanda de agua por el crecimiento poblacional, el inadecuado manejo de recursos hídricos en la región y el aumento en la impermeabilización de suelos en las zonas metropolitanas por la expansión de la mancha urbana. Esto ha generado eventos extremos de manera frecuente e impredecible, afectando a la población de la zona. Es por esto que se busca analizar, de mejor manera, el comportamiento del agua cuantitativamente para así tomar medidas enfocadas en la reducción de eventos extremos. El área de estudio se ubica en la cuenca del río Rocha, una de las cuencas priorizadas por el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Agua de Bolivia. El objetivo de este estudio es la aplicación de productos combinados de sensores de precipitación a bordo de satélites con datos de pluviómetros terrestres y la modelación hidrológica con análisis de parámetros del caudal ecológico del río Rocha para mejorar el estudio de eventos extremos. Se utilizaron cuatro productos de precipitación con base satelital: CHIRPS, GSMaP, PERSIANN e IMERG y se utilizó un proceso de combinación por error relativo. Los productos generados se emplearon como entrada a un modelo hidrológico. Los mejores productos para usar el proceso de iteración son a escala temporal mensual CH5M (generado a partir de CHIRPS) con un valor de 99% de similitud y escala temporal diaria GS5D (generado a partir de GSMaP) con un valor del 90% de similitud. Los caudales simulados permitieron estimar la cantidad de agua disponible en las subcuencas, la cual fue comparada con las mediciones disponibles en la zona de estudio. Posteriormente, se determinaron los parámetros del caudal ecológico mediante la herramienta IHA para estudiar eventos extremos y lograr entender el comportamiento de la variación de los caudales. Los eventos simulados fueron comparados con eventos históricos reportados en la zona, encontrando similitud. Adicionalmente, la herramienta IHA facilita el análisis visual y tabular de los caudales bajo diversos escenarios. Estos resultados son útiles para proponer valores de caudales ecológicos en la cuenca del río Rocha en épocas de estiaje.

En este proyecto se presenta el desarrollo de una máscara capaz de medir la frecuencia respiratoria (FR) y datos relacionados a la calidad de aire en conjunto con una aplicación móvil que recopila la información, para luego ser almacenada en una base de datos. La información recolectada es procesada y entregada a médicos para el control y monitoreo de sus pacientes. Esto debido a que los pacientes recuperados de COVID-19 no suelen ser lo suficientemente sistemáticos para registrar la información solicitada por los médicos locales que los atienden. También se tomó en cuenta la baja disponibilidad de equipos especializados en el ámbito del monitoreo respiratorio. La FR se midió con un sensor de temperatura y un micrófono. Se utilizaron algoritmos de Transformada Rápida de Fourier y Machine Learning que juntos conformaron una Fusión de Sensores de nivel básico para tener una respuesta más confiable. Los resultados de las mediciones de FR obtenidas a partir de la fusión de sensores tienen una desviación estándar de 5.97 y una estimación exacta en el 67% de las pruebas. Debido a que los materiales son populares a nivel mundial, este proyecto es fácilmente replicable en países de bajos recursos.

Published: August 2022

Diagnosis of craniofacial conditions is shifting towards pre- and peri-natal stages, since early assessment has shown to be crucial for the effective treatment of functional and developmental aspects of children. 3D Morphable Models are a valuable tool for such evaluation. However, limited data availability on 3D newborn geometry, and highly variable imaging environments, challenge the construction of 3D baby face models. Our hypothesis is that constructing a bi-linear baby face model that allows identity and expression decoupling, enables to improve craniofacial and brain function assessments. Thus, given that adult and infants facial expression configurations are very similar and that 3D facial expressions in babies are difficult to be scanned in a controlled manner, we propose transferring the facial expressions from the available FaceWarehouse (FW) database to baby scans, to construct a baby-specific bi-linear expression model. First, we defined a spatial mapping between the BabyFM and the FW. Then, we propose an automatic neutralization to remove the expressions from the facial scans. Finally, we apply expression transfer to obtain a complete data tensor. We test the performance and generalization of the resulting bi-linear model with a test set. Results show that the obtained model allow us to successfully and realistically manipulate facial expressions of babies while keeping them decoupled from identity variations.
Empirical verification of the suggested hyperparameters for data augmentation using the fast.ai library
Authors: Oronowicz-Jaskowiak Wojciech , Wasilewski Piotr , Kowaluk Mirosław
Published: August 2022

Data augmentation consists in adding slightly modified copies of the existing data to the training set, which increases the total amount of data and generally results in better results obtained by machine learning algorithms. The fast.ai library has some predefined values for data augmentation hyperparameters for visual data. It is claimed that these predefined parameters are to be the best for most data types, however, no empirical support for this statement has been provided. The aim of this research is to determine whether the suggested hyperparameter values for data augmentation in the fast.ai library are indeed optimal for the highest accuracy for image classification tasks. In order to answer this question, a detailed research was conducted, consisting of a series of experiments for subsequent data augmentation tools (rotation, magnification, contrast change, etc.). Three variables were modified for each tool: 1. maximal and minimal value of transformation (depending on the transformation type), 2. probability of the transformation, 3. padding behaviour. The results of the presented research lead to the conclusion that the suggested values of data augmentation implemented in the fast.ai library provides the good parameters of the model aimed at differentiating male and female faces, however in case of that classification slightly different parameters could be taken into consideration. The results are published in open-source repository (Open Science Framework, DOI:10.17605/OSF.IO/38UJG).
Fast Shape Classification Using Kolmogorov-Smirnov Statistics

Published: August 2022

The fast classification of shapes is an important problem in shape analysis and of high relevance for many possible applications. In this paper, we consider the use of very fast and easy to compute statistical techniques for assessing shapes, which may for instance be useful for a first similarity search in a shape database. To this end, we con- struct shape signatures at hand of stochastic sampling of distances between points of interest in a given shape. By employing the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics we then propose to formulate the problem of shape classification as a statistical hypothesis test that enables to assess the similarity of the signature distributions. In order to illus- trate some important properties of our approach, we explore the use of simple sampling techniques. At hand of experiments conducted with a variety of shapes in two dimensions, we give a discussion of potentially interesting features of the method.

Performed evaluation results in higher compression ratios as compared to typical Motion JPEG.
Visualizing Statistical Complexity in 3D Turbulent Flows using a Robust Entropy Calculation Method
Authors: Präger Arne , Nsonga Baldwin , Scheuermann Gerik
Published: August 2022

Highly resolved flow simulation data is becoming more common. These simulations frequently feature high tur- bulence with complex flow patterns. Finding these regions often requires expert knowledge, and in more complex cases, flow patterns of interest may remain hidden. The concept of statistical complexity was shown to be suitable to indicate regions of interest within flow data with limited prior knowledge. One way to determine the statistical complexity of flow fields is via the local vector field entropy and the correlation. In this work, we improve the method for calculating the Shannon entropy in vector fields. To this end, we introduce a robust entropy compu- tation that takes the scale of the corresponding regions into account. The improved method uses a novel way to determine the distributions required for the entropy calculation and is applicable to unstructured domains. We val- idate our method with analytic flow fields and apply it to fluid simulation data, visualizing the results via volume rendering. This work shows the applicability of our technique to highlight regions of interest in turbulent flows.
MVP-Net: Multiple View Pointwise Semantic Segmentation of Large-Scale Point Clouds
Authors: Chuanyu Luo , Xiaohan Li , Nuo Cheng , Han Li , Shengguang Lei , Pu Li
Published: August 2022

Semantic segmentation of 3D point cloud is an essential task for autonomous driving environment perception. The pipeline of most pointwise point cloud semantic segmentation methods includes points sampling, neighbor searching, feature aggregation, and classification. Neighbor searching method like K-nearest neighbors algorithm, KNN, has been widely applied. However, the complexity of KNN is always a bottleneck of efficiency. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end neural architecture, Multiple View Pointwise Net, MVP-Net, to efficiently and directly infer large-scale outdoor point cloud without KNN or any complex pre/postprocessing. Instead, assumption-based space filling curves and multi-rotation of point cloud methods are introduced to point feature aggregation and receptive field expanding. Numerical experiments show that the proposed MVP-Net is 11 times faster than the most efficient pointwise semantic segmentation method RandLA-Net [Qin20a] and achieves the same accuracy on the large-scale benchmark SemanticKITTI dataset.
Interactive High-Resolution Simulation of Granular Material
Authors: Sommer Alexander , Schwanecke Ulrich , Schoemer Elmar
Published: August 2022

We introduce a particle-based simulation method for granular material in interactive frame rates. We divide the simulation into two decoupled steps. In the first step, a relatively small number of particles is accurately simulated with a constraint-based method. Here, all collisions and the resulting friction between the particles are taken into account. In the second step, the small number of particles is significantly increased by an efficient sampling algorithm without creating additional artifacts. The method is particularly robust and allows relatively large time steps, which makes it well suited for real-time applications. With our method, up to 500k particles can be computed in interactive frame rates on consumer CPUs without relying on GPU support for massive parallel computing. This makes it well suited for applications where a lot of GPU power is already needed for render tasks.
Spatiotemporal redundancy removal in immersive video coding

Published: August 2022

In this paper, the authors describe two methods designed for reducing the spatiotemporal redundancy of the video within the MPEG Immersive video (MIV) encoder: patch occupation modification and cluster splitting. These methods allow optimizing two important parameters of the immersive video: bitrate and pixelrate. The patch occupation modification method significantly decreases the number of active pixels within texture and depth video produced by the MIV encoder. Cluster splitting decreases the total area needed for storing the texture and depth information from multiple input views, decreasing the pixelrate. Both methods proposed by the authors of this paper were appreciated by the experts of the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG11 MPEG and are included in the Test Model for MPEG Immersive video (TMIV), which is the reference software implementation of the MIV standard.
ON THE ISSUE OF TRANSLATION STRATEGIES OF POLITICAL SPEECHES
Authors: Zhmayeva Natalya
Published: August 2022

Modern translation studies which are of descriptive nature mainly presuppose the opportunity of altering the function of the source text in translation, reconstruction of sense and structure in correspondence with the aim of translation. The investigation has been carried out in the framework of the communicativefunctional approach to translation which accounts for the entire spectrum of linguistic and extra linguistic factors influencing translation in the broad sense. This fact proves the relevance of the article.

The carried out analysis is aimed at determining the inventory of tactics and operations of the translations resulted from applying the strategy of communicatively equivalent translation and the strategy of tertiary translation.

The implemented strategies of translation have been actualized by common tactics (the tactic of rendering relevant information, the tactic of rendering stylistic features, the tactic of rendering the source text formal and structural features), each having specific features of realization.

Common operations for the applied tactics have proved to be as following: search for an equivalent or a variant equivalent.
ECONOMIC AND LEGAL DISCOURSE: PARADIGM OF CHANGES IN THE XXI CENTURY (ON THE MATERIAL OF CHINESE, ENGLISH AND UKRAINIAN LANGUAGES)
Authors: Popova Oleksandra
Published: August 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the paradigm of changes in the content of official documents regulating economic and legal relations in the academic sphere in the XXI century. The author considers the factors influencing the process of changes in the content of official documents regulating economic and legal relations in the academic sphere in the context of the linguistic-translation paradigm. The concepts “economic and legal discourse”, “composition of the text of the document”, “academic sphere” have been clarified. Economic and legal discourse is determined through the prism of its dual nature (linguistic and extralinguistic) as a discourse of economics and law, education-driven discourse, its extralinguistic background being associated with the prerequisites for initiating elaborations in the area of education, for launching academic mobility programmes intended for participants of the teaching / learning process at the background of the native state development and intergovernmental cooperation. The text composition of the document is associated with the format (frame) of its representation, namely: the structural and compositional form of the document along with lexical and grammatical features of the economic and legal discourse. We interpret the academic sphere as the environment in which the acquisition of new knowledge, exchange of education-related information, implementation of scientific / research projects, practical manifestation of the outcomes, cultural exchange and intercultural communication take place due to the creation of certain conditions.

Some changes in the structure and composition of the documents regulating economic and legal relations in the academic sphere have been characterised. The linguistic peculiarities of the English official documents and their variants of translation into Chinese and Ukrainian have been analysed. The author presents illustrative means demonstrating the interaction of factors influencing the content of official documents which regulate economic and legal relations in the academic sphere in the XXI century.
COGNITIVE ASPECTS OF THE CONFUCIUS WORLDVIEW (BASED ON THE «LUN YU»)
Authors: Stoianova Yuliia
Published: August 2022

The article analyzes the treatise of Confucius “Lun Yu”, which in terms of literature is the most important contribution to the development of education not only in China but also around the world. Confucianism (especially enlightenment ideas), represented by Confucius, is the mainstay of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation and is a spiritual support of the long-term development of the Chinese nation. Confucianism has played an indispensable role and significance in Chinese politics and society for over than two thousand years. In the long process of development of traditional Confucianism, the most fundamental reason why it can be distinguished from Taoism, Moism, yin-yang, as well as Buddhism, Western Christianity, Islam, etc. is the special attention to the moral education of people. Confucian education is a major focus of ancient Chinese education, it reflects the basic characteristics of Chinese classical cultural education and is an invaluable asset in the history of Chinese education and around the world. However, Confucian pedagogical thoughts have its own historical process of development, and its content and form of expression are not same at different historical stages, so to extract the essence and use the past for the present, we should first make a historical analysis of Confucian pedagogical thought.

Classic works of Confucius, Mencius, Records of Teaching, The Great Doctrine and a complete set of presented Confucian doctrines constitute the material for the study. The period of foundation of Confucian thought, the time when the theoretical foundations of Confucianism were laid, is analyzed
FEATURES OF CULINARY DISCOURSE TRANSLATION
Authors: Stoianova Tetiana , Shutyak Victoria
Published: August 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of culinary discourse translation into Ukrainian on the example of culinary recipes. The aim of the research is to analyze the translation of culinary discourse texts on the example of recipes from the book “Jamie Oliver’s 30 Minute Meals”. The urgency of the work is due to the growing scientific interest in the translation of culinary texts in connection with the development of communications, due to which the gastronomic experience of different countries is rapidly spreading around the world, so culinary texts need adequate translation. As a result of the study, the authors conclude that the recipe as one of the key genres of culinary discourse has certain discursive features, a specific structure; however, modern recipes acquire certain genre modifications. An analysis of the translation of recipes revealed that the most commonly used grammatical transformations, represented by literal translation, syntactic transposition, grammatical permutations and substitutions, as well as addition and omission. It is determined that lexical transformations occur with medium frequency, such as: differentiation of meaning, partonymic and equonymic substitutions, concretization and modulation. The least common are lexical and grammatical transformations — holistic transformation and compensation for translation losses. It is established that the transformations used by translators allow better understanding the recipe, to understand the measures of the product, the ingredients. On the other hand, incorrect use of transformations leads to conceptually unsecured translation errors: the incorrect or incomprehensible name of ingredients, free interpretation of measures in the recipe, unnecessary clarifications leading to tautology were identified.

Tujuan utama dari penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pemahaman terhadap salah satu surat yang ada dalam Al Qur’an, yaitu surat Al-Ashr. Artikel ini menyandingkan konsep dalam surat Al-Ashr dengan konsep gotong-royong yang merupakan budaya dasar dari bangsa Indonesia. Artikel ini memperlihatkan bahwa gotong-royong sebagai budaya dasar bangsa Indonesia memiliki aplikasi yang dapat berimplikasi positif atau negatif, sementara surat Al-Ashr selalu memiliki aplikasi yang berimplikasi positif. Beberapa simpulan adalah (1) bangsa Indonesia masih memiliki budaya gotong-royong sebagai budaya dasar, bahkan manfaat (efek positifnya) masih bisa dideteksi dan dirasakan namun tidak bisa dipungkiri tentang adanya distorsi khususnya pada aplikasi dari budaya dasar ini; (2) Distorsi pada konsep gotong-royong terjadi karena perubahan rentang waktu yang berlaku bagi konsep. Semakin panjang rentang waktu yang berlaku pada konsep maka semakin konsep gotong-royong mendekati konsep awalnya. Saran untuk memperbaiki keadaan lapangan tentang penerapan konsep gotong-royong (yang cenderung menunjukkan adanya distorsi terutama pada aplikasinya) diberikan kepada masyarakat dengan kembali kepada konsep awal dari gotong-royong yang cenderung untuk selalu memiliki implikasi positif.

Published: August 2022

This article aims to discuss the implementation of precautionary principle on the use of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) in Indonesia as well as to identify and evaluate the changes of provisions on precautionary principles related to the use of GMOs as stipulated in the Environmental Law and the later Job Creation Law in Indonesia. This article employs normative legal research that descriptively examines humans, circumstances, and other phenomena to strengthen old theories and support new theories that are still in the drafting stage. It uses secondary data sources consisting of primary legal materials and secondary legal materials. The result shows that the implementation of precautionary principle on the use of GMOs is based on the Environmental Law and the Job Creation Law which can be seen in the AMDAL. Under the Environmental Law, the implementation of precautionary principle prioritizes the importance of a risk's impact before the activity is carried out. Whereas in the Job Creation Law, the operation of an activity adjusts the level of risk, namely low, medium, and high. Hence, based on Job Creation Law, a business activity that already utilizes GMOs is allowed to conduct its operation if the risk is assessed as low. It is due to a transition between the risk approach in the Environmental Law and the licensing approach in the Job Creation Law. This article suggests that in GMO usage, the government should find more specific precautionary implementation than regulations and labels since regulations alone are too abstract to comprehend in a society.

Studio M, objekat koji se nalazi u centru Novog Sada, u ulici Ignjata Pavlasa, 2021. godine napustila je matična institucija koja je predložila njenu izgradnju - Radio Novi Sad (sadašnji RTV). Ovaj rad se bavi valorizacijom objekta u kontekstu modernizma, kao i posmatranjem objekta kroz teorijsku postavku „Na osta­cima“. Sagledavanjem objektivnih kontekstualnih odred­nica Studija M, kao i posmatranjem objekta kroz speci­fičan teorijski okvir, definiše se prik­ladno projektantsko rešenje rekonstrukcije i revitalizacije, koje odgovara savremenim okvirima, dok u isto vreme, kroz sajt-specifik (site-specific) program priča priču o nekadašnjem značaju Studija M.
REKONSTRUKCIJA I REVITALIZACIJA STUDIJA M: OPROSTORENJE IDEOLOGIJE
Authors: Uzelac Bojana , Žugić Višnja
Published: August 2022

Osnovna tema rada je rekonstrukcija i revitalizacija objekta Studija M. - kulturnog nasleđa Novog Sada, koje je zaboravljeno i preti mu nestnak sa mape grada. Metodologija rada se sastoji od generisanja osnov­ne teze - teza o procesu Translacije ideje, koja pro­ističe iz prethodne analize pojma ideologije, kao podteme rada, a zatim i ilustrovanja teze kroz primer Studija M pre i posle intervencije, kroz prizmu ideologije. U istraživanju se ideo­logija posmatra kao sistem namera čijim oprostorenjem se stvara arhitektura. Pored programske i formalne razrade ovog projekta, razvijaju se i apstraktni programski seg­menti, odnosno funkcije koje nisu čisto utilitarne i odnose se na utiskivanje novih značenja u telo i duh objekta.
