A végesség meghaladásának lehetőségei Kierkegaard filozófiájában
Authors: Enesey Diána
Published: April 2022

Írásom Kierkegaard időfogalmát az egyes ember sajátos időészlelése felől közelíti meg a rezignáció lovagjának és a hit lovagjának időérzékelését a középpontba helyezve. Gondolatmenetem kiindulási pontja, hogy a véges ember önnön végességének meghaladására törekszik. Ám a meghaladás mint cél maga után vonhatja az időbeliség és az örökkévalóság fogalmainak összemosódását. Ez történik az állandóság és az örökkévalóság fogalmaival is. E két fogalom elhatárolási lehetőségeit fürkészem érintve a két lovag időiség- és örökkévalóság-felfogásának döntő kérdéseit. Az időfelfogás kialakulása során a benső mozgások döntő jelentőségűek. Célom az, hogy megmutassam az egyes idősíkok végességmeghaladásban játszott szerepét, s ebből levezessem, miként lehet meghaladni a végességet.
Phenology, latent heat flux and evaporative fraction in sunflower under different photo-thermal environments
Authors: GOURANGA KAR  , ASHWANI KUMAR
Published: April 2022

Sunflower was grown in four different sowing dates with 3 irrigation regimes to create different photo-thermal environments. Duration of important phenological stages and productivity were found to be higher in winter sown crop which might be attributed to optimum photo-thermal environment. Crop duration and productivity were reduced when temperature increased during summer and rainy seasons. The day length was found to be influential at vegetative stage but no role was found in reproductive phase of the crop. The latent heat flux varied with the crop growth stage and moisture availability ranged between 8.55 to 19.11 MJ m-2 day-1 in different years and cropping season. During pick growth stage (47-97 DAS), ET consumed most of the energy, as a result evaporation fraction (EF) was higher during those days which ranged between 80-93% under different sowing dates in the first year and between 70-95% in different growth stages of second year.

Published: April 2022

A field experiment was conducted at BCKV, Kalyani, West Bengal (Latitude 22°58’60 N, Longitude 88°28’60 E) to evaluate the performance of different rice cultivars grown during kharif season of 2010 and 2011. The experiment was laid down in a split-plot design where three dates of transplanting (D1: 15th June; D2: 29th June and D3: 13th July) for both the years were allotted as main plot treatment and three rice cultivars (V1: Satabdi ; V2: Baishmukhi ; V3: Pre-Release) was considered as sub-plot treatment. Date of transplanting significantly influenced the grain yield. It was at the highest under D1 which reduced gradually with delay in transplanting. Among different varieties, Satabdi produced the highest yield (4079 kg ha-1). Irrespective of variety, absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (APAR) value increased with the advancement of crop growing season and it was at the highest level during panicle initiation stage. In general, the highest APAR value (90.2 μMol m-2s-1) was recorded under pre-released variety during panicle initiation stage due to its leaf orientation which was declined by 14% and 19.5% respectively under Baishmukhi and Satabdi variety.

Published: April 2022

Examining the trends and building the forecasting models for the meteorological parameters has got significance in climate research. An attempt was made to study the trends of temperature and rainfall of Nagapattinam District, a main shrimp farming area in Tamil Nadu. Surface weather data of the study area obtained from Indian Meteorological Department, Pune were analysed using Mann–Kendall trend test (MK test) for the weather parameters viz., maximum, minimum, highest maximum (HMax), lowest minimum (LMin) and mean temperatures, rainfall and number of rainy days. Month-wise, seasonwise (winter, summer and rainy) and year-wise trends were computed for the monthly data from 1961 to 2000. Results of analysis revealed a significant trend for maximum temperature for all the cases of experimentation, whereas the trend was significant for few months or seasons for minimum, mean, highest and lowest temperatures and number of rainy days. Trend does not exist for rainfall of the region. Time series forecasting model was built for monthly maximum temperatures using the data from 1961 to 1980 for building the model and evaluated with the data from 1981 to 2000. Autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA) (2, 0, 1) (1, 1, 1) s was found to be suitable model with highest R2 value of 0.94 and lowest Root Mean Square Error. Model predictions were reassessed with Willmott’s index and found to be reasonably good (0.95) for the study area. The forecasting model for temperature in the study area can be used for shrimp farming crop calendar planning.

Authors: P. M. GULED  , A. M. SHEKH  , H. R. PATEL  , VYAS PANDEY
Published: April 2022

Field experiments were conducted during the kharif seasons of 2009 and 2010 to study the effect of soil moisture content (SMC), transpiration rate (T) and stress degree days (SDD) on pod yield of three cultivars of groundnut sown on 3 dates at 15 days interval from onset of monsoon. The results revealed that the SMC, T and SDD significantly influenced the pod yield of groundnut. SMC and T were positively correlated while SDD was negatively correlated with the pod yield. The varietal differences in transpiration rate and SDD were non-significant.

Published: April 2022

A study was conducted to ascertain the role of meteorological parameters on year to year variability in rice yield in Punjab using 12 years (2000-11) data of Ludhiana district. The rice growing season was divided into three stages (entire rice season, vegetative stage and reproductive stage) and the meteorological data during these stages were correlated with the rice yields. Highly significant (p=0.05) positive correlation was noticed between grain yield and sunshine hours received during entire rice season and vegetative stage of the crop. The maximum temperature during entire rice season and vegetative stage was significantly (p=0.10) and positively correlated with grain yield. During all three stages maximum relative humidity had significantly negative correlation with grain yield. Rainfall during vegetative stage and number of rainy days during reproductive stage were significantly and negatively correlated with grain yield. After studying the deviation of meteorological parameters from respective normals during high and low yield years and the correlation of meteorological parameters with rice yield it can be concluded that in the central parts of the Punjab sunshine hours play a major role in determining the productivity of rice.

Published: April 2022

The industrial revolution 4.0 has an impact on the development of law, government, and social justice. The era of globalization 4.0 causes changes in almost all sectors of human life, especially the economic and technological sectors. The Information and Electronic Transaction Law, abbreviated as UU ITE, must be able to protect various legal interests to protect freedom of speech, express opinions orally and in writing. In addition, it is related to legal interests to protect the freedom of communication and obtain information as rights that are constitutional rights of citizens. The development of information and communication technology requires the government to make UU ITE. This article discusses the implementation of criminal law enforcement through UU ITE, which makes the digital world the target for applying these regulations. UU ITE must be able to bring enthusiasm to keep Indonesia's digital space clean, healthy, ethical and productive. In a criminal case with a restorative justice paradigm, the judge does not only decide based on the law alone, but also considers justice for all parties (victims, perpetrators of crimes, and the community). Court decisions should provide justice, benefit, and legal certainty, and contain philosophical, juridical and sociological foundations so that they are systematic and comprehensive.

Keywords:Criminal Law, Information and Communication Technology, UU ITE
Political Financing and It’s Impact on The Quality of Democracy in Southeast Asia
Authors: Simandjuntak Deasy

Across the region, it is generally assumed that funding for parties and campaigns derives from sources such as membership fees, voluntary work by members and/or financial contributions by wealthy individual and interest groups. Yet what are the similarities and differences among the regimes and practices of political financing the region, and how do we understand the quality of democracy by looking at their political financing? Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Myanmar have had their elections in the past three years. The article gives an overview of the countries’ political financing regimes and/or practices to identify common denominators as well as draw linkage between political financing sources and democratic quality.
The Urgency to Prevent Illicit Political Party Fundraising Through the Anti-Money Laundering Regime in Indonesia
Authors: Naibaho Nathalina , Rinwigati Patricia , Ghozi Ahmad
Published: April 2022

An election is a democratic process, which is both costly and cumbersome for anyone who wishes to participate. Existing practices, precisely in Indonesia, show that both political parties as well as candidates often need to raise funds to finance their campaign and/or their programs, as well as to ensure the sustainability of their political parties. The Indonesian law states various financial resources in which a political party can raise. Nevertheless, it does not set the limitations and restrictions, particularly on ways to identify and monitor where funds come from. Hence, there has been a fear that political parties may use this loophole to conduct money laundering. It is argued that while the money laundry regime can be used to prevent conspicuous practices related to political financing, a legal framework has yet to be designed and implemented.
Conceptualizing Party Financing Legislation in Malaysia: Between Normative and Reality
Authors: Tayeb Azmil , Ragu Dineskumar
Published: April 2022

How political parties finance their operations is not well regulated in Malaysia. There is no specific law that oversees the myriad ways political parties raise funds and to what purpose they are used. This stands in contrast to neighboring Indonesia and the Philippines, where there are laws that regulate party financing. As a result, corruption in the name of political donations is rampant in Malaysia, the infamous one being the 1MDB scandal that presently ensnares the former Prime Minister, Najib Razak. However, absence of a law that regulates party financing and the inability of the current government to enact one does not mean that Malaysia should sideline the importance of keeping political parties in line with democratic norms. In this article we argue for a normative party financing model based on five criteria if Malaysia is to promulgate a legislation to regulate political parties’ finances. We suggest the proposed legislation should incorporate reporting mechanism that enforces transparency and accountability; level playing field that allows common people and smaller parties to have a stronger voice in politics; reducing patronage politics; easing ethnoreligious tensions; and establishing clear separation between business and politics. We interviewed numerous party representatives, academics, and Election Commission official to solicit their inputs on the substance and viability of this proposed party funding legislation based on the abovementioned five criteria. The article ends with a set of recommendations on the ways to move forward with this proposed legislation or its iterations, both at the federal and state levels.

Authors: Al-Saleh Mohammad Fraiwan , Obeidat Doaa Suhail
Published: April 2022

A new method of approximating the Binomial probability function is introduced. The method is based on the discrete normal distribution. In particular, the discrete normal probability function is used to approximate the binomial probability function. The new approximation is compared with the exact values and the approximation based on Central limit theorem. The maximum absolute error of the approximation is used to measure the accuracy of the method. It turned out that this method of approximation is useful and easy to use in practice. Also, the result can be an important theoretical statistical result that can be used in educational statistics.

Background and Aim: Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disorder with important influence on the lipid profile, insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study is to compare the lipid profile of classical therapy versus anti-TNFs patients and asses the associated diseases. Methods: We conducted a prospective study. Patients’ data were collected from two Romanian Dermatology Clinics, during the period January 2015 – June 2016. The patients were divided into two groups: study group (on TNF inhibitors) and control group (on classical treatment). Results: The subjects in the study group had more associated diseases and much more patients suffered from dyslipidemia. There were not statistically significant differences in the lipid profile between the two groups. But eliminating patients treated with Acitretin and Methotrexate, a p- value of 0.0259 (significant statistically) was observed when comparing the values of triglycerides in the two groups. Conclusions: We did not observe a beneficial effect of the TNF inhibitors therapy in psoriatic patients on the lipid profile. Subjects on biological treatment suffer from a more severe form of psoriasis vulgaris and associate much more comorbidities.

Object: The aim of the study is to select the most active new imidazolium-quinuclidinumoxime, from some similar chemical compounds synthesized in our chemistry department, with sufficient efficacy to decrease the acute toxicity of neurotoxic organophosphates known as nerve agents. Method: The experimental study consist in vivo testing the antidotal efficacy of obidoxime and of selected imidazolium oximes synthesized in our chemistry department. Each oxime was included, by equimolar replacing the obidoxime, in an antidotal formula, which also contains atropine. The above mentioned formula containing atropine and obidoxime was used as reference. The protective ratio, defined as the ratio between the lethal median dose of the poisoned and treated study group and the median lethal dose (LD50) of the poisoned and untreated study groups was one of the used parameters in order to select a new active chemical structure in counteracting the neurotoxic organophosphorus compounds acute toxicity. Another studied parameter was the erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase value measured in whole blood 24 hours after exposure. Results: The protective ratio against an organophosphorus compound were the follow: obidoxime chloride: 2; 1,3- dimethyl-2-hydroxyethyl-imidazolyliodide: 1,75;3-oxime-[3-(2-hidroxyimino-methyl-1-imidazolyl-)- 2oxapropyl]quinuclidin-dichl-oride: 2,5; 1-methyl-quinuclidin-3-iodide: 1,5. The erythrocyte acetycholinesterase main values were the following: the unpoisoned and untreated study group:3,45 ±0,13mmol/dl; the poisoned and untreated study group: 0,89 ±0,09 mmol/dl; the poisoned and 3- oxime-[3-(2-hidroxyimino-methyl-1-imidazolyl-)-2oxapropyl]quinuclidindichloride treated study group:2,89 ±0,11 mmol/dl; the poisoned and obidoxime treated study group: 2,53±0,15 mmol/dl. Conclusions: 3-oxime-[3-(2-hidroxyimino-methyl-1-imidazolyl-)-2oxapropyl] quinuclidindichloride synthesized in our chemistry department, has shown a better protective ratio and a more prolonged surviving time than the reference (obidoxime). It has shown the best AChE reactivation of all the synthetized compounds. This compound can be a cheap and good option for replacing obidoxime in the antidotal formula active in nerve agent exposure.

The purpose of this review is to describe the etiology (traumatic, iatrogenic, spontaneous causes), clinical and paraclinical findings and the management of hyphemas. The clinical appearance of hyphema is variable and is influenced by the volume of blood and the amount of time erythrocytes are present in the anterior chamber. When hyphema is evident, a complete history should be obtained and a thorough physical examination performed to direct the initial selection of diagnostic tests. Secondary complications of hyphema include glaucoma, synechiae, cataract formation, blood-staining of the cornea, and blindness. Early diagnosis and treatment can minimize or prevent the installation of secondary complications and improve the prognosis.

Pathologists observed the presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in solid tumors many years before the research focus shifted from cancer cells to the tumoral microenvironment. In lung adenocarcinoma TILs vary in number, phenotype and distribution. Our study investigate the type and distribution of TILs regarding the stage of disease and histological subtype in 27 cases of lung adenocarcinoma. By immunohistochemistry we evaluated semi-quantitatively CD3, CD8 and cyclin D1. We have found that CD3+CD8- lymphocytes prevail at the invasive margin and in tumoral stroma. Cyclin D1 was diffusely positive in tumoral cells in all the five cases of lepidic type of lung adenocarcinoma. In other histological types cyclin D1 was focally positive, most at the margin of the tumor irrespective of the presence or absence of TILs.

Radical prostatectomy is the gold standard treatment for patients with localized prostatic cancer, but often the pathological diagnosis reveals a locally advanced stage. The aim of this paper is to present the oncological follow-up after radical prostatectomy on a group of 42 patients, patients which have been diagnosed after surgery with a more aggressive stage, locally advanced PCa. Over a period of four years 136 patients have undergone radical prostatectomy. The pathological examination has established that 42 patients presented extracapsular invasion and/or lymph node invasion. 18 patients (pT3-4N0M0) have undergone radiotherapy alone and 24 patients (8 pN1 and 16 pT3-4N1M0) have received androgen deprivation therapy in association with radiotherapy. Over the next two years 15 patients presented biochemical recurrence. For these patients chemotherapy was initiated, but in two cases PSA increase has been observed during periodic evaluation. Although it is not uncommon that postoperatively the histopathological examination establishes a more aggressive disease stage than that established before surgery, radical prostatectomy remains the solution for the localized prostate cancer, solution that can be boosted by radiotherapy and/or androgen deprivation therapy.
An unexpected journey: the fall and rise of Ichthyosaurus anningae, from fossil to plaster cast to holotype
Authors: Larkin Nigel R. , Lomax Dean R.
Published: April 2022

An ichthyosaur specimen (DONMG:1983.98) in the palaeontology collection of Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery, England, comprises a nearly complete skeleton. Although the museum deliberately purchased the fossil as genuine in 1983 it was later mistaken for a plaster cast and used as such before being re-identified as real. Furthermore, it was recently recognised as a specimen new to science and is now the holotype of Ichthyosaurus anningae Lomax and Massare, 2015. To enable the taxonomic study of the specimen, a diverse range of work was required. This included: tracking down its provenance and age (Lower Jurassic, Pliensbachian) which had not been known when it was bought; cleaning, conserving and partially re-preparing the specimen so that it could be determined exactly which of the forefin bones were in situ and which had been artificially placed before the specimen was sold to the museum; and comparing the skeleton to hundreds of other ichthyosaur fossils before its final determination as a new species. Local media and public interest in the specimen was a constant feature of the project but the subsequent publication of the new ichthyosaur species engaged media attention worldwide and highlights the importance of communicating palaeontological discoveries to what is clearly a receptive audience. In the process, whilst the news media unexpectedly concentrated on the fact that the specimen had lain in a museum collection 'unrecognised' for 30 years, the relevance of museum collections was highlighted and their profile collectively raised, which further highlights the importance of communicating scientific research. This story also demonstrates the need for specialist input in museums at a time when the role of the specialist curator is under increasing threat.
Guide to the Hugh Miller Collection in the Royal Scottish Museum, Edinburgh, c. 1920
Authors: Peach B. N. , Traquair R. H. , Taylor M. A. , Anderson L. I.
Published: April 2022

Around 1920, the retired Geological Survey worker Benjamin Neeve Peach (1842-1926) wrote a guide to the permanent exhibition, which he had just completed, of fossils from the collection of Hugh Miller (1802-1856) in the Royal Scottish Museum, Edinburgh (now part of National Museums Scotland). This guide also incorporated an older assessment of Miller's work on fossil fishes by the former Keeper of Natural Sciences, Ramsay Heatley Traquair (1840-1912). The guide was not issued, probably because of economic pressures on the museum in a period of fiscal stringency after the Great War. It is here published with an introduction and notes. It contains considerable information on the structure, content, and interpretive strategy of the exhibition, a rare survival for displays of that era. It shows how Miller and his collection were perceived by a leading Scottish geologist of the day, and how the collection extended beyond just Old Red Sandstone fishes, with notable strengths also in Jurassic plants and Quaternary molluscs. It provides new evidence on Ben Peach's activity in his seventies, and his thoughts on the geology and palaeontology of Scotland once safely retired from the Survey and its domineering director Archibald Geikie, and looking back to the activities not only of Miller but of his own father Charles W. Peach (1800-1886). Finally, the guide is of real curatorial value for future work on the collection.
Domestic Science: the recovery of an ichthyosaur skull
Authors: Middleton H.
Published: April 2022

In May 2016, Andrew Wass and the author recovered much of an ichthyosaur (ophthalmosaurid) skull from the foreshore of Smallmouth Sands in Weymouth, Dorset, UK. This provided an opportunity to explore the reconstruction of the skull and look into the scientific study of ichthyosaurs. Neither of us are affiliated with any university or museum and this article shows the use of improvisation or educated guess work, facilitated by the internet age of available information; it illustrates 'exploratory' research in the time-honoured tradition of independent local experts.
Ivory Piano Keys from Mastodons: Why Poor Anthropocentric Legislation Endangers Fossils
Authors: Liston Jeff J.
Published: April 2022

Palaeontological material and sites have faced a variety of challenges in the last half century, often due to inadequate legislation from poorly informed legislators designed for very different objects. The most common problematic scenario is for material to be assessed on anthropocentric grounds that are more traditionally applied to archaeological and art objects as 'cultural', and are fundamentally ill-suited for palaeontology. This paper highlights some of the negative consequences of bad legislation in order to explain why it is a global problem that needs to be addressed by the international palaeontological community through direct engagement with legislative bodies.
Dodgy fossils: international legislation and the meaning of 'cultural property'
Authors: Martin J.
Published: April 2022

In our small world of palaeontology, it has ended friendships and ruined careers. Important fossils are lost to science, or are in limbo. In the wider world, people get shot or imprisoned. Through it, fortunes are made by rich people in the West, while peasant farmers in the South lose the fortunes they never had. 'It' is UNESCO 1970: The Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property. This paper looks back at the ancestry of UNESCO 1970, to suggest that its ethically inspired progenitors probably would not have wanted it to turn out the way it did. The wrong turn seems to have been in the ambiguity (perhaps intentional, certainly not articulated) of the meaning of 'cultural property' in the 1970 Convention. Merryman (1986) reviewed 'cultural property'; he explained that it has two almostopposite meanings, whose complex bases, in semantics, nationalism and money, are explored in this paper. I ruminate on how differently the word 'culture' might be understood in the minds of legislators (and politicians) in the Signatory Countries to the 1970 Convention, and speculate about how their interpretations might, from one point of view, be inadvertently ('culturally', 'lost in translation') mistaken and how, from another point of view, they might coincide neatly with national interests. Maybe UNESCO 1970 itself did turn out the way its authors intended. The purpose of the Convention's Articles was to police international trade in national and personal property, arguably in support of the principles of capitalism, as variously applied in the signatory counties - and now, nearly 50 years on, globally. Finally, I question whether fossils should be in the Convention at all; I ask: except possibly for fossil hominins, whose 'cultural' property are they?
Site-specific limitations on the use of palaeontological resources
Authors: Underwood C. J. , Ward D. J.
Published: April 2022

Palaeontological resources are used by many people for diverse purposes, and in generating a best practice model for utilisation and conservation of these sites, the requirements of all of these interested parties should be taken into account. Fossil bearing sites vary tremendously, especially in rates of depletion of the rock and fossils, frequency of visits by interested parties and the scientific significance, size and distribution of fossils therein. We argue that it is these criteria that should dictate best practice for any particular site, and in doing so a far more rational conservation strategy can be achieved.
The history of palaeontology at Doncaster Museum
Authors: Bowden A , Lomax Dean R , Robinson P , Larkin Nigel R
Published: April 2022

This article summarises the history of palaeontology collections at Doncaster Museum, their uses, and the collectors and curators associated with them. It begins by outlining the general national context, then details Doncaster Museum's specific story, including the quantity and type of materials collected, collection care (or lack of it), exhibition and other uses. In brief, Doncaster's collections were formed at the end of the late Victorian field naturalist era, saw a slump in interest during the first half of the 20th century, were revitalised during the early 1960s, expanded hugely during the 1970s and early 1980s, and then received little attention in succeeding decades until the arrival of a keen local palaeontologist in 2008. This largely mirrors the national picture with two exceptions, both of which are related to key individuals: Elphinstone Forrest Gilmour was the highly charismatic Director between 1953-67, who gained support for and oversaw the building of the new museum in 1964, but who's career ended in ignominy; Dean Lomax is a passionate, local palaeontologist who's persistent enquiries and personal commitment resulted in the very successful Fabulous Fossils exhibition that then led onto the CIRCA project major, a review and revitalisation of the palaeontology collections.
The mineral collection of William 'Bill' Terrill, FCS, MIMM (1845-1901)
Authors: Cotterell T. F.
Published: April 2022

William 'Bill' Terrill is little-known of as a collector of minerals but his well-curated collection of British and Worldwide minerals preserved at Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales is an excellent example of why it is important to properly label and catalogue specimens. It is also a testament to his widow and youngest daughter that his collection is preserved and so too his brother, Bertie, who kept meticulous diaries of family events which would otherwise have been long forgotten. Remarkably there are very few examples of mineral collections assembled within Wales and this represents a fine example of late Victorian collecting. Research into the history behind William Terrill and his collection has revealed a fascinating set of stories including his role in the establishment of a geological society in Swansea and his work as curator of the mineral collection at the Royal Institution of South Wales.
Militancia y espacio público en la Restauración: la prensa carlista valenciana (1874-1911)
Authors: Esteve Martí Javier
Published: April 2022

La Ley de Policía de Imprenta (1883) favoreció el crecimiento de la prensa en un contexto de expansión del número de lectores y de fragua de un espacio público definido en términos habermasianos. En consecuencia, el carlismo identificó el periodismo como vía privilegiada de difusión doctrinal e influencia en las mentalidades, sobreponiéndose a la persecución legal y a la violencia física y simbólica derivada de la batalla por el predominio en el espacio público. Sin embargo, tuvo que afrontar graves problemas para superar un marco de difusión privado fundado en relaciones pre-públicas y dar el salto a la comunicación interpersonal.
FET y de las JONS como fuente de disenso en el Franquismo a la luz del concepto Resistenz
Authors: Peñalba-Sotorrío Mercedes
Published: April 2022

Este artículo se centra en el disenso en torno a FET y de las JONS, identificando las líneas de fractura que se produjeron en la interacción del partido único con otros grupos que apoyaron al régimen. Más allá de la rivalidad política, este artículo se centra en el rechazo a FET enraizado en la preservación de aspectos culturales que se entendía debían ser respetados por la Dictadura. Para ello utilizamos el concepto de Resistenz, acuñado por Martin Broszat, con el objetivo de identificar qué aspectos culturales tuvieron mayor peso en la delimitación del consenso y del disenso.
¿Resistir con hambre? Estrategias cotidianas contra la autarquía en la consolidación del Franquismo
Authors: Román Ruiz Gloria , Del Arco Blanco Miguel Ángel
Published: April 2022

La larga posguerra en España (1939-1952) estuvo marcada por las severas dificultades socioeconómicas que tuvo que afrontar buena parte de la habitación. Para lidiar con la carestía, los hombres y mujeres que vivieron los grises años cuarenta pusieron en marcha pequeñas estrategias cotidianas de subsistencia-resistencia entre las que destacaron los hurtos famélicos y el pequeño estraperlo. Con sus acciones de desobediencia buscaron mitigar su miseria, pero también expresar de algún modo su disconformidad con la gestión que estaba haciendo la dictadura franquista de la crisis de abastecimientos. Ahora bien, aquellas prácticas no lograron desestabilizar el recién nacido régimen franquista, sino que, paradójicamente incluso, contribuyeron a su consolidación.

PERAN ANGGARAN SEBAGAI ALAT PENGAWASAN BIAYA OPERASIONAL PT PELAYARAN NASIONAL SAMUDERA RAYA JAKARTA
Authors: Darmeinis  , Aris Widayanto
Published: April 2022

PT Pelayaran Samudra Raya continues to strive to improve efficiency in its operational activities to provide the best quality service for customers. To achieve this efficiency, the use of costs must be done optimally so as to produce good performance for the company. To oversee the use of the company's operational costs, management needs a budget that can provide an overview of the optimal costs in the company's operational activities. Budgets that are prepared and monitored properly can help achieve efficiency in the use of company operational costs.

Results of the analysis of variance carried out on PT Samudera Raya's operational costs during 2019 to 2021 showed improvements in the preparation of the budget and the use of the company's operational costs. This can be seen from the percentage of variance that decreases every year, which is 2.11% in 2019, 1.13% in 2020 and a variance of 0.28% in 2021. The use of the company's operational costs has been monitored properly by the accounting department. and supervisors of the company's fleet both before the Covid19 pandemic occurred and while it was taking place. All cash disbursements that occur in each ship's trip must be accounted for by the captain once the trip is completed, cost deviations that occur outside the plan must be explained in detail by the cause and effect by the fleet, the difference between the realization of costs and the budget must be considered in the preparation of the budget for the next ship trip.

The preparation of the company's operational cost budget has been carried out for the last 3 years and continues to be evaluated every year to take corrective actions to reduce the occurrence of variances, especially those that are not profitable for the company. The use of the budget as a means of monitoring the company's operational costs is able to achieve the expected results. Although it is not maximized because there is still a difference between the budget and the realization of costs, the difference can be reduced every year.

The difference between the budget and the realization of the company's operational costs has decreased in the last 3 years. This shows an improvement from the company's management in optimizing the budget function as a means of controlling the company's operational costs.
