The New Brazilian Right and the Public Sphere
Authors: Rocha Camila
Published: March 2021

This paper traces the origins of the New Brazilian Right, regarding the emergence of new leaders, new forms of expression and organization, as well as new sets of ideas, namely libertarianism and anti-globalism. Based on more than thirty in-depth interviews, conducted between 2015 and 2019 with right-wing leaders and activists; on a collection of historical data from right-wing organisations’ archives between 2015 and 2018, and on public data, I argue that this phenomenon started in the mid-2000s, after the onset of a corruption scandal related to the Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) and the dissemination of the pioneering social network Orkut in Brazil. This social network, founded in 2004, preceded Facebook’s popularity in Brazil and enabled the creation of alternative and disruptive spaces of debate, referred to here as “counterpublics”. By mid- to late 2010s, during the 2014 protests for the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff and Jair Bolsonaro’s 2018 presidential campaign, this emerging new right would be at full throttle.
Analisis Pentakostalisme terhadap Markan Ending
Authors: Wariki Valentino
Published: March 2021

Permasalahan tekstual yang terdapat pada Markan Ending tidak memengaruhi kaum Pentakostal dalam kesetiaannya terhadap teks ini. Kelompok Pentakostal merupakan komunitas yang karakter gerejanya lekat dengan karunia Roh. Markan Ending telah menjadi bagian dari Kitab Suci yang demikian melekat pada Pentakostalisme.

Sejarah menunjukkan bahwa persebaran dua Markan Ending yaitu Abrupt Ending dan Long Ending terjadi secara natural dan diterima baik  oleh banyak kelompok gereja. Historitas kedua Markan Ending yang telah ada sejak masa awal gereja menjadi bukti bahwa teks ini tidak saling berkonfrontasi.

Melalui Pentecostal Reading maka terbuka cara yang fair dalam melihat kedua penutup Injil Markus ini sebagai bagian sakral Kitab Suci yang tak terpisahkan. Kisah Para Rasul 2 yang menjadi ideology dasar Pentakostalisme menjadi penghubung dengan bagian lain dari teks Kitab Suci guna mengungkap relevansi dogmatis dari ajaran yang terdapat dalam Markan Ending.

Authors: Sitanggang Murni Hermawaty
Published: March 2021

Terjadinya pandemi Covid-19 telah mengubah total kehidupan umat manusia di semua aspek kehidupan, termasuk dalam ibadah dan pelayanan. Ibadah virtual kini telah menjadi bagian dari kehidupan kerohanian gereja sebagai umat Tuhan. Melalui tulisan ini penulis hendak mengulas tentang plus minus pelaksanaan ibadah virtual untuk kemudian mengajukan usulan tentang bagaimana sebaiknya gereja dapat meningkatkan pelayanannya. Penelitian ini dilakukan memakai metode kualitatif studi pustaka dengan mengumpulkan berbagai referensi yang membahas tentang pelaksanaan ibadah virtual selama pandemi.  Mengingat pandemi sudah berlangsung berbulan-bulan, gereja perlu memproyeksikan pelayanan digital sebagai program utama pelayanan (bukan lagi sebagai alternatif sementara atau hanya pelengkap) dan siap untuk dalam pelayanan sosial sebagai wujud kasih kepada Tuhan dan sesama.

Acquired megaesophagus is an uncommon cause of regurgitation in dogs. Diagnosis is confirmed by simple or contrast radiographs, endoscopy, tomography, scintigraphy, or magnetic resonance imaging. Esophagography with barium sulphate contrast is the most commonly used method, however, it may be inconclusive if dilation marking does not occur. This paper reports the case of a 9-year-old female dog, with a history of regurgitation over six months, simple and contrast radiographic exams showing no evidence of megaesophagus. The esophagography exam was repeated with the addition of barium contrast mixed with commercial dry pet food, which verified esophageal dilatation and confirmed megaesophagus. Although this technique is not widely used, it is an effective alternative method for diagnosis of canine megaesophagus, particularly when other radiographic approaches are inconclusive.

Published: March 2021

The present study aims at exploring the degree of motivation and professional involvement in the libraries of the universities based in Lahore. The study is essentially quantitative in research involving survey research method for the data collection. The population of the study was paraprofessionals working in the central libraries of thirty-three HEC (Higher Education Commission, Pakistan) recognized public and private universities in Lahore. For the sake of convenience, a selected group of five respondents was constituted from the central library of each university. The available respondents in thirty three university libraries were eighty five. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a pre- developed scale MAWS (Motivation at Work Scale) by Gagne et al. (2010). The results proved that the introjections and inner motivational factors proved the key factors of motivation. Furthermore, the results proved that the library assistants had a higher degree level of motivation than those of library clerks. The employees receiving high salary were more motivated than those who were receiving comparatively low salary. Permanent job holders were more motivated than contract-based employees. Similarly, university sector also proved a factor of motivation. The findings of the study are significant to the administration of university libraries that they should consider these factors to keep their staff motivated and committed to their organization and at their workplace.

Authors: Klein Ryan , Koeser Andrew , Hauer Richard , Hansen Gail , Escobedo Francisco
Published: March 2021

In the presence of a target, tree failures have the potential to damage property, disrupt services, or threaten public safety. Worldwide, several qualitative methods have been developed to provide a systematic approach for tree risk assessment and management. The consistency and accuracy of these methods, the values placed on the tree in question and its potential targets, and the risk perceptions and levels of acceptance of the evaluator and tree owner all influence how risk is managed. This review explores the concept of risk, examines and contrasts the most commonly referenced tree risk assessment methods, and summarizes research on public perceptions of trees and the risk of trees and greenspaces in built environments. The review identifies general summarized themes and gaps in the available literature to guide future research.
Growth and Physiology Vary Little Among North American, an Asian, and a North American x Asian Hybrid Ash in a Common Garden in Ohio, U.S.A
Authors: Haavik Laurel , Herms Daniel
Published: March 2021

The emerald ash borer (EAB) (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) invasion of North America has increased interest in ash (Fraxinus, Oleaceae) phylogeny, ecology, and physiology. In a common garden in central Ohio, we compared the performance of three North American ash cultivars that are highly susceptible to EAB (F. pennsylvanica ‘Patmore,’ F. americana ‘Autumn Purple,’ and F. nigra ‘Fall Gold’), one North American species that is less susceptible to EAB (F. quadrangulata), and two taxa that are resistant to EAB (F. mandshurica and F. mandshurica × F. nigra ‘Northern Treasure’). During the 2015 growing season, we measured diameter growth, foliar N concentration, specific leaf area, and on four dates (two with adequate and two with low precipitation) we measured CO2 assimilation rate (A), stomatal conductance (gs), intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci), photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE), variable fluorescence (Fv’/Fm’: efficiency of energy harvested by open photosystem II reaction centers), and the fraction of photons absorbed by photosystem II that were used for photosynthesis (ɸPSII). F. pennsylvanica grew fastest and on most sampling dates was superior in physiological performance (A, gs, and ɸPSII). Generally, however, there was little interspecific variation in growth and physiology among the different ash taxa tested, as all performed well. This suggests that the EAB-resistant F. mandshurica and F. mandshurica × F. nigra hybrid, as well as the moderately resistant blue ash, are as physiologically well-suited to growing conditions in the Midwestern United States as green and white ash cultivars that had been widely planted prior to the EAB invasion.
Urban Tree Mortality: A Literature Review

Published: March 2021

Tree survival is a performance metric for urban forestry initiatives, and an understanding of the factors that influence mortality can help managers target resources and enhance survival. Furthermore, urban tree planting investments depend on tree survival to maximize ecosystem services. In this literature review, we categorized factors commonly associated with urban tree mortality and summarized mortality rates published in 56 studies, focusing on studies of trees along streets, in yards, and in landscaped parks. Study designs included quantitative field monitoring of uneven-aged tree populations and tracking planting cohorts of even-aged trees, as well as qualitative analyses. Annual mortality rates ranged from 0.6 to 68.5% for cohort studies and 0 to 30% for repeated inventories of uneven-aged trees. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quartiles of annual mortality were 2.8 to 3.8%, 4.4 to 6.5%, and 7.1 to 9.3% for planting cohorts, and 1.6%, 2.3 to 2.6%, and 3.0 to 3.3% for repeated inventories of uneven-aged trees (ranges reflect studies that reported a range for the time period or mortality rate). For cohort studies, annual mortality tended to be highest during the first five years after planting. The most commonly cited biophysical factors associated with mortality were taxa (15 articles), tree size/age (13 articles), and site characteristics (12 articles). The most commonly cited human-related factors were stewardship, maintenance, and vandalism (15 articles). More long-term studies are needed to investigate how site characteristics influence mortality, including rarely examined soil and microclimate characteristics. Future research should also examine institutional structures related to mortality outcomes, as well as parcel-level sociodemographic factors and resident behaviors.
Changes in Leaf Thickness, Chlorophyll Content, and Gas Exchange of a Landscape Tree, Xanthostemon chrysanthus, Treated with Paclobutrazol and Potassium Nitrate
Authors: Mohd Roseli Ahmad Nazarudin , Fui Ying Tsan , Osman Normaniza
Published: March 2021

Paclobutrazol (PBZ)(0 g L-1, 0.125 g L-1, and 0.25 g L-1) and potassium nitrate (KNO3)(0 g tree-1, 100 g tree-1, and 200 g tree-1) were tested on a landscape tree, Xanthostemon chrysanthus (F. Muell.) Benth., in an attempt to enhance its stress tolerance under harsh urban conditions. Significant effects on tree height, diameter at breast height, canopy diameter, leaf area, and anatomy of tree leaves and stems in response to PBZ and KNO3 have been previously reported; in addition to these, the influences on leaf thickness and leaf physiology, including chlorophyll content and gas exchange, are discussed in this study. Relative chlorophyll content was significantly increased with PBZ and/or KNO3, enhancing leaf greenness. Increased leaf thickness of up to 13.37% at 6 months after treatment with a combination of PBZ and KNO3 was observed. The presence of PBZ significantly reduced the photosynthetic and transpiration rates and stomatal conductance. Reduced leaf physiological traits combined with thicker leaves would be beneficial for trees to tolerate harsh urban settings. Therefore, a combination of PBZ and KNO3 is recommended for stress tolerance enhancement of X. chrysanthus grown as a landscape tree.

Authors: SRISAIKHAM Supreena
Published: March 2021

Aqueous extracts of whole alfalfa plants (AP) and alfalfa pellets (APe) were examined for nutritional values, bioactive compounds (total phenolic content (TPC), phenolic compounds (PC), total flavonoids content (TFC), flavonoids compounds (FC), isoflavones), amino acids (AA) and antioxidant activity of AP and APe assessed via a DHHP radical scavenging assay and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. The potential ingredients in the form of AP and APe were used to evaluate the nutritional values measured by chemical composition, and to investigate bioactive compounds, AA and antioxidant activity to further contribute to use as a feed ingredient or application as a high-value alternative feed supplement in the ruminant diet. Crude protein and tannins were higher in the APe (18.17 and 3.08 %) than the AP (16.21 and 1.80 %). Higher content of organic matter, crude fiber, neutral-detergent fiber, acid-detergent fiber, acid-detergent lignin was observed for AP than APe. The TPC and TFC were more abundant in AP than in APe and AP also showed stronger antioxidant activity via DPPH than APe, with positive correlations of TPC, TFC and DPPH. The highest values of gallic acid in terms of PC and apigenin in terms of FC of APe were 215.30 and 2278.27 µg/g dry weight (DW), respectively, while the highest levels of genistein and daidzein occurred in AP at 104.37 and 130.91 µg/g DW, respectively. The total of essential AA was found to be in vary the range of 9.33 to 16689.47 µg/g DW in different forms of samples, with valine as the highest (5451 µg/g DW) in APe, followed by phenylalanine (4.30 µg/g DW) in AP.

The fisheries sector is one of the most ancient and important sectors in the world and plays a significant role in providing the nutrition and socio-economic development of the country. The fish processing industry produces huge quantities of wastewater, encompassing significant amounts of contaminants in the form of soluble, colloidal, and particulate matters. The disposal of shellfish waste is a serious issue, and the effluents discharged from seafood-processing plants contain high amounts of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), dissolved solids, suspended solids, and turbidity. The existing waste management system lacks a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method. The current research focus on the extraction of a biopolymer chitosan from crab shells by ecofriendly methods and its application in refinery wastewater treatment. The chemical structure and crystallinity of the extracted chitosan was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analyses. Surface morphology and elemental composition were determined using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX). Thermal properties were detected using Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). The extracted chitosan was successfully employed in the batch treatment of refinery effluent by varying the experimental parameters (refinery effluent solution pH, contact time, dosage of chitosan, and stirring speed) and the optimizations of the processing conditions were established.

Published: March 2021

This study examines the relationships between human resource development skills (leadership, decision making support, and social skills) with the work performance of extension agents among cocoa farmers in Malaysia. The study used stratified sampling technique to select 668 cocoa farmers who were exposed to extension programs facilitated by extension agents of the Malaysian Cocoa Board in 3 regions of Malaysia. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses. The results show that cocoa farmers rated level of work performance, leadership, decision making support, and social skills as high. Significant and positive correlation (p < 0.01) existed between each variable and work performance. Regression analysis results showed that leadership skill, decision making support skill, and social skill were significant predictors to enhance work performance. The R2 value of 0.564 indicates that the 3 skills gave 56.4 % explanation of the variance in extension agents’ work performance. The results also suggested that decision making support skill (β = 0.321) was the most important factor that influenced work performance, followed by leadership skill and social skill. Hence, decision making support skill, leadership skill, and social skill should be taken into consideration in enhancing work performance, especially among farmers and the extension agents who work with them, for continuous performance improvement in their work. The skills that have been identified in this study can be integrated into both the pre-service and in-service training and development of extension agents in their line of work to improve their skills in sharing new technology.
Immigration and Integration: Examining Fethullah Gulen’s Philosophy of Integration
Authors: Ayvaz Zafer
Published: March 2021

Forced migration is a huge asset, but also a challenge within Europe. The key to overcoming it is love, tolerance, dialogue, humility, self-devotion, as well as creating common and safe spaces for meeting and working together in socially beneficial tasks. In order to prevent and solve problems arising from taking in refugees of different faiths and cultures, believers of all religions need to accept these tasks as a top priority. Although the role of religion in lives of immigrants has been a subject of interest by scholars, not much focus had been put on the importance of social activism of faith-based community organisations in favour of immigrants. This paper focuses on social networks as playing an important role in the integration process, and examines Turkish Islamic Scholar Fethullah Gulen’s view of integration within current EU policy regarding Muslim immigrants.

The cool goal is to design a book of illustrations of Malind folklore books in the form of Papuan puppet characters, thus giving newness in delivering a message, as well as preserving Malind tribal folklore. The method used in this design uses 5W 1H analysis and design thinking. Varied methods aim to obtain data validly. Data collection is done by observation, interviews, and documentation. The theory used is the theory of Visual Communication Design. The benefits that can be obtained from theory are to get answers to problems through strategies, observations, references and experiences they experience. This design is intended for children aged 7 to 12 years. This design applies the concept of communication and expression of creative power so that it can be accepted by the target audience. In addition, the target audience is expected to solve problems through visual messages. The design of an illustrated Malind folklore book is a solution, so that one of the Malind cultures in the form of folk tales can be preserved. Its mission is that children start to recognize their culture early, so that this culture can be preserved.

Published: March 2021

Banyak gitaris yang memainkan gitar klasik dan gitar elektrik secara beriringan. Namun banyak dari mereka yang merasakan bahwa kedua teknik permainan gitar tersebut agak bertolak belakang dan saling mempengaruhi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menjembatani antara teknik permainan gitar klasik dan gitar elektrik. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan studi kasus, kajian pustaka dan karya dengan memanfaatkan jurnal online, buku serta partitur karya. Hasilnya adalah teknik permainan gitar klasik dan elektrik yang agak bertolak belakang tersebut dapat diatasi salah satunya dengan cara memainkan etude. Etude tersebut terdiri dari teknik-teknik permainan yang khas terdapat pada gitar klasik dan gitar elektrik. Selain itu teknik-teknik permainan yang khas tersebut dapat dikombinasikan sehingga menghasilkan teknik hybrid antara gitar klasik dan gitar elektrik. Dengan tujuan, gitaris klasik dan gitaris elektrik yang memainkan kedua gitar tersebut secara beriringan akan mengetahui teknik-teknik permainan yang khas terdapat pada gitar klasik dan gitar elektrik. Serta mengaplikasikan teknik hybrid tersebut kedalam permainan gitarnya, sehingga gitaris bisa melatih kedua teknik permainan gitar tersebut secara bersamaan, tanpa meninggalkan salah satunya.Many guitarists play classical guitar and electric guitar simultaneously. But many of them feel that the two guitar playing techniques are somewhat contradictory and influence each other. The purpose of this study is to bridge the technique between classical guitar and electric guitar. The methodology used in this research is a case study approach, literature review and works by utilizing online journals, books and scores of works. The result is that the classical and electric guitar playing techniques are somewhat contradictory, one of which can be overcome by playing etude. Etude consists of techniques that are typical of the game found on the classical guitar and electric guitar. In addition, these typical playing techniques can be combined to produce a hybrid technique between a classical guitar and an electric guitar. With the aim, the classical guitarist and the electric guitarist who play both guitars together will know the game techniques that are typical found on the classical guitar and the electric guitar. As well as applying these hybrid techniques into his guitar playing, so the guitarist can practice both guitar playing techniques simultaneously, without leaving one of them.

Oleh karena itu setiap manusia selalu akan membangun ruang teritori kenyamanannya.Apart from being a place to live, a house is also a place for a person's psychological formation. The house as the origin of psychological growth is the background for the writer in the creation of this work and writing. The essence of the house is a source of inspiration for writers in the context of creating works of art. The writer arranges the concept of creation through a fragment of events that the author has experienced. In particular, it concerns various emotional upheavals related to events about the house and its dynamics. In the process of creation, the authors use practice based research methods, namely creation based on research. The essence of the house is an identity attached to a person's character, this is reflected in the behavior of his actions; good in relationship.  Therefore, every human being will always build his comfort territory.

Abstract. On 16–17 February 2020, dust within the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) from western Africa moved over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Satellite imagery and products from the ABI on GOES-16, VIIRS on NOAA-20, and CALIOP on CALIPSO, along
with retrieved values of layer and total precipitable water (TPW) from MIRS
and NUCAPS, respectively, were used to identify dust within the SAL over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Various satellite imagery and products were also used to characterize the distribution of water vapor within the SAL. There was a distinct pattern between dust detection and dust masking and values of precipitable water. Specifically, dust was detected when values of layer TPW were approximately 14 mm; in addition, dust was masked when values of layer TPW were approximately 28 mm. In other words, water vapor masked infrared dust detection if sufficient amounts of water vapor existed in a column. Results herein provide observational support to two recent numerical studies that concluded water vapor can mask infrared detection of airborne dust.
Verification of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) ozone algorithms based on retrieved daytime and night-time ozone

Abstract. Ozone (O3) plays a significant role in weather and
climate on regional to global spatial scales. Most studies on the
variability in the total column of O3 (TCO) are typically carried out
using daytime data. Based on knowledge of the chemistry and transport of
O3, significant deviations between daytime and night-time O3 are
only expected either in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) or high in the
stratosphere or mesosphere, with little effect on the TCO. Hence, we
expect the daytime and night-time TCO to be very similar. However, a detailed
evaluation of satellite measurements of daytime and night-time TCO is still
lacking, despite the existence of long-term records of both. Thus, comparing
daytime and night-time TCOs provides a novel approach to verifying the
retrieval algorithms of instruments such as the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS)
and the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS). In addition, such a comparison also
helps to assess the value of night-time TCO for scientific research.
Applying this verification on the AIRS and the MLS data, we identified
inconsistencies in observations of O3 from both satellite
instruments. For AIRS, daytime–night-time differences were found over oceans
resembling cloud cover patterns and over land, mostly over dry land areas,
which is likely related to infrared surface emissivity. These differences point to
issues with the representation of both processes in the AIRS retrieval
algorithm. For MLS, a major issue was identified with the
“ascending–descending” orbit flag, used to discriminate night-time and
daytime MLS measurements. Disregarding this issue, MLS day–night differences
were significantly smaller than AIRS day–night differences, providing
additional support for the retrieval method origin of AIRS in stratospheric
column ozone (SCO) day–night differences. MLS day–night differences are
dominated by the upper-stratospheric and mesospheric diurnal O3 cycle. These results provide useful information for improving infrared
O3 products.
Quantifying and correcting for pre-assay CO2 loss in short-term carbon mineralization assays

Abstract. The active fraction of soil organic carbon is an important component of soil health and often is
quickly assessed as the pulse of CO2 released by re-wetting dried soils in short-term
(24–72 h) assays. However, soils can lose carbon (C) as they dry and, if soil samples vary in moisture content at sampling, differential C loss during the pre-assay dry-down period may
complicate the assay's interpretations. We examined the impact of pre-assay CO2 loss in
a long-cultivated agricultural soil at initial moisture contents of 30 %, 50 %, and 70 %
water-filled pore space (WFPS). We found that 50 % and 70 % WFPS treatments lost more C during
drying than did those in the 30 % WFPS treatment and that dry-down losses led to a 26 %–32 % underestimate of their CO2 pulses. We developed a soil-specific
correction factor to account for these initial soil moisture effects. Future C mineralization
studies may benefit from similar corrections.
Financial Management of Overseas Filipino Workers’ Beneficiaries
