Authors: Nurbaiti Usman Siam  , Nurhadiyanti Nurhadiyanti , Prasetyo Endri Bagus
Published: August 2021

Work From Home (WFH) adalah sebuah kebijakan baru yang dicetuskan pemerintah pada masa pandemi COVID-19 khususnya di Indonesia. Sebuah kebijakan dengan memerlukan adaptasi baru dan tentunya memiliki tantangan tersendiri bagi setiap pekerja. Di tengah masa pandemi COVID-19 ini menuntut masyarakat banyak melakukan adaptasi di kehidupan sehari-hari, adaptasi ini pun berlaku juga pada penyelenggaraan pelayanan publik. Untuk itu penulis ingin melihat bagaimana mekanisme pelayanan publik dengan metode WFH. Penelitian ini ditulis menggunakan pendekatan studi kepustakaan yang mana segala sumber tulisan berdasarkan pengamatan dari website-website atau jurnal-jurnal yang berkaitan dengan tema yang diangkat. Hasil pengamatan dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Pelayanan publik di era WFH ini menampilkan banyak perubahan prosedur dan juga tata kelola yang sudah diatur sedemikian rupa dan kemudian mulai direvisi lagi prosedur yang sudah tersedia menjadi prosuder yang siap pakai lagi pada kondisi saat ini. Perubahan prosedur yang terjadi hanya semata-mata untuk memenuhi tuntutan dari masyarakat yang membutuhkan pelayanan dari setiap instansi yang mereka butuhkan.

May Circular Economy make sustainability strategies financially rewarding in Latin America?
Authors: Scheel Carlos
Published: August 2021

Is it possible to solve the tremendous economic-environmental policy challenges imposed on developing countries' industries and governments due to the intense demands by international organizations to restrain the crisis of global warming?
Let us look at some initiatives proposed to address the environmental crisis:

By means of greenwashing the conventional linear chains of the most polluting industries.
Through public policies and strict legislation, with exorbitant fines.
Through extreme citizen education efforts.
Through innovative technologies.

The answer is none of the above. Even with the technological advancements and the growth of markets, and the governments' ambitious long-term commitments, the likelihood of adherence thereto is almost nil, mainly for developing countries, if something drastic, disruptive and comprehensive is not carried out.

Numerical Simulation Research on Response Characteristics of Grouting Defects of Ground Penetrating Radar for Detection of Grouting Quality behind Tunnel Wall
Authors: Mavoungou D.Michelle Naomie , Zhang Pingsong , Zhang Siwei , Wang Qiong
Published: August 2021

The effect of grouting behind tunnel wall directly affects the surrounding ground settlement and the stability of tunnel structure, so the grouting quality detection is very necessary. As an efficient and convenient shallow geophysical exploration method, ground-penetrating radar can meet the high-resolution and non-destructive requirements of grouting quality detection behind the tunnel wall, so it is widely used in engineering in recent years. Most of the existing studies have obvious regional pertinence and special geological conditions, and there are few universal studies on the characteristics of the ground penetrating radar reflection image of the grouting defect behind the tunnel wall. In view of this, this paper uses the finite difference time domain method to simulate several grouting defects behind the wall, such as voids, water-bearing anomaly, cracks, and other grouting defects. The simulation results show that the reflection image of the direct wave is characterized by a white band with strong amplitude; the interface between primary support and second lining, primary support, and surrounding rock is also banded; the circular cavity and water anomaly characteristics are all hyperbolic, the difference is that the phase of the lower part of the radar image of the cavity anomaly is 0, and there are only hyperbolic tails on both sides, and the water-bearing anomaly also has obvious hyperbolic characteristics at each interface; the reflected wave characteristics of the rectangular crack are striped and watery and the reflected wave characteristic of rectangular cracks is striped, and the abnormal range of water-bearing cracks on the radar image is larger than that of air. The research results can provide an effective theoretical reference for the engineering application of ground penetrating radar detection of grouting defects behind the tunnel wall.

Xadrez com morte
Authors: D"Arte Roberto
Published: August 2021

A humanidade tem sido tomada por angústias tão sutis que, aos poucos, vai se dissolvendo – física e psicologicamente – como se estivesse sendo consumida de dentro para fora. Neste sentido a saída – ainda que imediata e provisória – é propor um jogo de Xadrez com a morte. Não à toa Ingmar Bergman escolhe o Xadrez como a forma da sua personagem desafiar “alguém” tão poderoso. O jogo é um chamamento à razão, à luz capaz de organizar as ideias e dar um rumo à vida.

Era uma vez..., de Benjamin Lacombe,  é um livro que é arte pura, magistralmente sedutor pela sua arquitetura física e imagens insólitas. Um livro pop-up, com personagens dos contos clássicos para infância (Polegarzinha, Pinóquio, Madame Butterfly, Chapeuzinho Vermelho, Alice no País das Maravilhas, O Barba Azul, A Bela Adormecida e Peter Pan), que desfilam pelas páginas em dobraduras em três dimensões. Talvez Madama Butterfly se distancie das narrativas feéricas, mas por certo, Lacombe a introduziu com perfeição na sua insólita construção.

A primeira fotografia conhecida foi capturada na França em 1826, por Joseph Nicéphore Niépce em chapas da Kodak. Fotografar é imprimir imagens numa face sensível, sob efeito da luz. A formalidade e a sisudez eram tradição no momento do retrato, assim, a língua de fora na foto icônica de Albert Einstein, feita aos 72 anos em 14 de abril de 1951, mostra como tudo foi mudando em relação a essa arte.

Published: August 2021

Досліджено можливості автоматизації процесів проектування матеріалів та конструкцій для екранування електричних, магнітних та електромагнітних полів широкого частотного діапазону. Показано, що необхідність автоматизації процесів проектування обумовлена залежністю захисних властивостей (коефіцієнтів екранування) матеріалів від кількох параметрів – магнітної та діелектричної проникностей, електропровідності, товщини матеріалу. Для композиційних матеріалів необхідно враховувати об’ємний вміст і дисперсність екрануючого наповнювача у діелектричній матриці. Вихідними даними є необхідні коефіцієнти екранування (з урахуванням коефіцієнтів відбиття електромагнітних хвиль у діапазоні ультрависоких частот). Спираючись на фундаментальні співвідношення електродинаміки суцільних середовищ, надано співвідношення для послідовного визначення коефіцієнтів заломлення та екстинкції матеріалів, що надає можливість розрахувати значення дійсної та уявної складових комплексної діелектричної проникності. На основі цих значень визначається питома електрична провідність матеріалів. Це, у свою чергу, дозволяє визначити еквівалентну глибину проникнення високочастотного електромагнітного поля у матеріал. Показано, що для розрахування відносних магнітної та діелектричної проникностей з прийнятними похибками доцільно використовувати співвідношення Лорентца та Максвелла-Гарнетта. Для цього достатньо мати відомості про діелектричні та магнітні проникності компонентів (які є довідковими величинами) та об’ємний вміст екрануючої субстанції у діелектричній матриці. Це надає можливість однозначно визначити захисні властивості композиції у широкому частотному діапазоні. Враховуючи залежність ефективності матеріалів від багатьох факторів, автоматизація процесів проектування дозволить оптимізувати співвідношення критичних параметрів з урахуванням магнітних властивостей і вартості кінцевого продукту.

Published: August 2021

In terms of active and passive electronic counteraction, detection of geophysical phenomena of artificial andnatural origin is becoming increasingly important. Discovering new properties of plasma enables to improve the informationcomponent of radio signals more effectively and use the obtained properties in related fields. Elementary processes in thelongitudinal and transverse directions of the discharge, depending on natural and artificial conditions, under different typesof gaseous medium used; at different gas pressures and different pulse-periodic application of an electric field is studied inthe article. The difference of discharge properties in inert and molecular gases with different designs and electrodes of thelaboratory device is shown. It is established that the change of functional purpose between the cathodes and the anodes doesnot change the shape of the discharge. The presence of ambipolar diffusion of charge carriers acting on a large area of plasmawas determined. Partial charge carrier homogeneity has been established, which is observed only along the plasma surface,and homogeneity is violated in the perpendicular direction. The difference in energy input in the discharge, depending on thedesign of the electrodes other things being equal is determined. The identified properties of plasma enable them to be usedmore effectively for practical implementation in the field of electronics and telecommunications and other industries.

Background and objectives: An arteriovenous fistula is considered to be an ideal vascular access for patients receiving hemodialysis, its main limitation is its high failure rate to achieve maturation and long-term functionality loss. Multiple strategies have attempted to identify patients at risk. Bioelectrical impedance has shown to be a valuable resource in the determination of the hydration status, and the measurement of the phase angle through this method has demonstrated to be a good indicator of the nutritional state and its related as a general marker of survival. The objective of this study is to analyze the role of plasma albumin and phase angle measured through bioelectrical impedance as tools useful for predicting failure of arteriovenous fistulas. Materials and methods: prospective observational study, including 104 patients with chronic kidney disease receiving hemodialysis who underwent a native arteriovenous fistula during a period of 24 months. Analyzing its clinical characteristics, laboratory and phase angle through electrical bioimpedance, both univariate and multivariate analysis was performed both with logistic regression, furthermore calculation of coordinates and ROC curve to establish a better cut-off point. Results: of the variables that were analyzed only the phase angle measurement showed statistical significance OR 2.61 (1.6 – 4.4) p - value 0.001 for predicting arteriovenous fistula failure. In female patients with a phase angle value of 3.25 had a 90% sensibility and 53% specificity for male patients a value of 3.58 showed a sensibility of 84% and a specificity of 52% with ROC curve of 0.78. Conclusion: phase angle through bioimpedance is a useful parameter, helpful in predicting failure of native arteriovenous fistula, it is also an important tool for identifying patients at risk, in early stages prior to the construction of a vascular access.

Published: August 2021

Aim: In this study we aimed to find the frequency of anti-DFS70 antibodies and DFS pattern in ANA positive individuals and ANA associated rheumatic diseases (AARDs).Methods: In this study, 337 subjects who were evaluated in a rheumatology clinic with prediagnosis of rheumatic diseases with positive ANA test and had concurrent anti-extractable nuclear antigen (anti-ENA) antibodies results were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical diagnosis of patients and demographic characteristics were obtained from the patients' medical records.Results: A total of 337 subjects (305 women, 32 men) were included in this study. The mean age was 49.8 ± 14.2 years. Of the 337 participants, 111 (32.9%) had an IIF-DFS pattern and 226 (67.1%) had a non-DFS pattern. Anti-DFS70 antibodies were positive in 20.1% of individuals. Sixty eight individuals had AARDs. An IIF-DFS pattern was observed in 22.1% and a non-DFS pattern was observed in 77.9% of individuals with AARDs (p <0.05). Anti-DFS70 antibodies were positive in 13.2% of patients with AARDs. The frequency of AARDs was significantly lower in individuals with anti-DFS70 antibodies compared to individuals with other anti-ENAs antibodies (p <0.05).Conclusion: Anti-DFS70 antibodies may be present in patients with AARDs but AARDs are less prevalent in patients who had anti-DFS70 antibodies, compared with patients who had other anti-ENAs.

Authors: Schuh Alexandra , Pozebon Dirce
Published: August 2021

This work deals with method validation for regulated metals (Cd, Pb, Ba, Sn, Cr and Cu) determination in infusion and transfusion medical devices. The investigated metals were extracted with water at (37 ± 1) °C followed by their determination in the extract by using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The validated method was applied in the analysis of infusion and transfusion devices commercialized in Brazil to verify compliance with current legislation, which establishes that the sum of Pb, Ba, Sn, Cr and Cu in the extract must not exceed 1 mg L-1 and that of Cd must not 0.1 mg L-1. Samples from five manufacturers of infusion and transfusion devices, produced in Brazil or imported, were analysed. The results of the analysis showed that all devices complied with the legislation, whereas the sum of Pb, Ba, Sn, Cr and Cu concentrations and that of Cd in the extract were lower than the maximum permissible; Cd was not detected in any sample extract and the sum of the other elements was < 0.14 mg L-1 in all extracts of the analysed samples.
The Challenge is «Now” and «In the Future” for Bioenergetic Analysis
Authors: Moselli Patrizia
Published: August 2021

Alexander Lowen developed his theory by observing what happened in the evolution of the child and in the construction of his/her defenses. Character defenses block vitality and therefore we could define «vitality” as the procedural memory of our «natural child” who, in the course of their development, has created so many characterological adaptations. Vitality is blocked because it is disorganized by developmental traumas that prevent the natural process of adaptation generated by a loss of love and by attachment disorders. So, working with the life force becomes the center of the therapeutic process, since our vitality is blocked by disorganized defenses that we could consider to be real post-traumatic stress syndromes. Rebuilding «safe relationships” becomes fundamental to create that energy field in which the individual can experience his/her «asleep” vitality. The therapist must be able to convey bonds of attachment that can connect the patient to both humanity and to nature. The therapeutic relationship explores the nature of these bonds, which is fundamentally sensory and emotional, intrinsically «intelligent”, as guided by profound regulatory processes.

Published: August 2021

Introducción. El Registro Colombiano de Víctimas de Lesiones por Minas Antipersona fue lanzado por el gobierno de Colombia con el objetivo de recolectar información sobre los casos de heridos por minas antipersona en el país. El propósito de este estudio fue investigar las disparidades de mortalidad entre las víctimas de lesiones por minas antipersona, en función de la pertenencia a una minoría étnica.

Métodos. Se hizo una regresión logística multivariable para examinar la asociación entre minorías étnicas y mortalidad en las personas heridas por minas antipersona.

Resultados. Se registraron 10.306 casos de lesiones por minas antipersona, de los cuales 430 eran personas pertenecientes a grupos étnicos minoritarios (indígenas o afrodescendientes). De estos, 85 (19,7 %) eran mujeres, 156 (36,2 %) eran menores de 18 años y 427 (99,3%) vivían en áreas rurales. La mortalidad fue significativamente mayor (29,3 %) en comparación con la población mestiza (18,5 %; p < 0,001). Después de ajustar por sexo, edad, soldado en servicio activo, área rural y volumen de casos por departamento, encontramos que las minorías étnicas tenían mayores probabilidades de morir (OR = 2,03; IC95% 1,61- 2,56; p < 0,001).

Discusión. Encontramos una asociación entre la pertenencia a una minoría étnica y una mayor probabilidad de mortalidad con lesiones causadas por minas antipersona. Estos hallazgos deberían alentar a los legisladores de las zonas rurales de Colombia a trabajar más diligentemente, para reducir las consecuencias nocivas de las lesiones causadas por estos artefactos en los grupos étnicos minoritarios.

This study examines the relationship between the pre-service teachers' entrepreneurship skills and their reflective thinking levels. The sample of the study is 240 pre-service teachers studying at Bartın University Physical Education and Sports Teaching Department. Semerci (2007), “Reflective Thinking Tendency Scale” and Yılmaz & Sünbül (2009), “Entrepreneurship Scale for University Students” are used as data collection instruments. The data collected for the research were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 program. Reflective thinking levels and entrepreneurship characteristics of the pre-service teachers are examined based on gender, grade, entrepreneurship course and work experience variables. As a result, It is seen that female pre-service teachers' more reflective than male pre-service teachers and the entrepreneurship characteristics of the pre-service teachers in the study are found as "high." Moreover, in the work experience variable, there is a significant difference between the groups. A correlation analysis, it was found that there was a positive and significant relationship between entrepreneurship and all reflective thinking sub-scales, too. Based on the study's findings, it is possible to say that pre-service teachers with high entrepreneurship characteristics have high reflective thinking levels.

Ver sacrum seu flores musici (Salzburg, 1677), Part 1
Authors: Hofer Andreas
Published: August 2021

Andreas Hofer's Ver sacrum seu flores musici is the first printed collection of paraliturgical music for the archiepiscopal court of Salzburg published in a modern edition, an important reparative to the overemphasis on the court's instrumental virtuosos, Heinrich Biber and Georg Muffat. The eighteen pieces of the collection are ordered liturgically, with each composition assigned to a specific feast day. Hofer's texts are a unique collection of centonized scripture, poetry, and prose, which, through creative manipulation of instrumentation, texture, and style, the composer musically dramatizes for the celebration of each feast. Referred to in the note to the reader as works “for the offertory” (despite the absence of any prescribed liturgical texts), these pieces demonstrate the malleable nature of the musical genre in the early modern period.
Leaving the Door Open: Trauma, Updating, and the Development of PTSD Symptoms

Humans try to make sense of the world using hypotheses that were formed by prior experiences. After trauma, these hypotheses can be exaggerated and resistant to change. This may result in difficulties to update expectations regarding the negative outcomes associated with traumatic stimuli. Critically, it has been proposed that such difficulties may drive the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, direct evidence on the associations between trauma and impaired expectation updating is still absent. Moreover, it remains unclear whether such an impairment is correlated with PTSD symptoms. To address these gaps, we compared the ability to update traumatic and neutral stimulus-outcome expectations in 81 active-duty firefighters. Participants completed a performance-based reversal learning task and were assessed for PTSD symptoms. We predicted and found a selective impairment in updating trauma-related expectations. This impairment was evident for negative-to-positive but not for positive-to-negative updating. Moreover, impaired negative-to-positive updating was positively associated with PTSD symptoms. These findings support the predictive processing account of PTSD and suggest that strengthening updating processes could be an important goal for promoting resilience after trauma.

Many studies report atypical responses to sensory information in autistic individuals, yet it is not clear which stages of processing are affected, with little consideration given to decision-making processes. We combined diffusion modelling with high-density EEG to identify which processing stages differ between 50 autistic and 50 typically developing children aged 6-14 years during two visual motion tasks. Our pre-registered hypotheses were that autistic children would show task-dependent differences in sensory evidence accumulation, alongside a more cautious decision-making style and longer non-decision time across tasks. We tested these hypotheses using hierarchical Bayesian diffusion models with a rigorous blind modelling approach, finding no conclusive evidence for our hypotheses. Using a data-driven method, we identified a response-locked centro-parietal component previously linked to the decision-making process. The build-up in this component did not consistently relate to evidence accumulation in autistic children. This suggests that the relationship between the EEG measure and diffusion-modelling is not straightforward in autistic children. Compared to a related study of children with dyslexia, motion processing differences appear less pronounced in autistic children. Our results also provide weak evidence that ADHD symptoms moderate perceptual decision-making in autistic children.

Covid-19 and corporate tax avoidance: Measuring long-run tax burdens as an alternative bailout test
Authors: Efendi Subagio
Published: August 2021

This study fills the gap in the tax authorityâ€™s Covid-19 financial aid verifications by examining, and nominating, Long-run ETR (Dyreng et al., 2008) as the better corporate tax avoidance measure in excluding tax evader firms from the broad stimulus programs. Analysing confidential tax returns of 4,752 largest firms (32,120 firm-years) in Indonesia over 2009 to 2017 periods, this study found 18.12 percent of total sample firms is able to retain its Long-run ETR below 10 percent, which indicates continual tax avoidance activities by these firms during observation periods. Moreover, applying univariate and multivariate Ordinary Least Squares and Panel Data estimations, this study reveals, relative to other tax avoidance measures, Lagged Cash ETR (Lisowsky, 2010; Lisowsky et al., 2013) present the most consistent reliability in predicting long-run income tax burdens. Thus, this study asserts, in the conditions of computing Long-run ETR is costly and impractical (i.e. because of data unavailability), tax authority and policymakers can directly analyse firmsâ€™ Lagged Cash ETR to gauge their long-run income tax burdens and tax compliance behaviours prior the economic downturn.Â

This study analyzed the impact of demography and socioeconomic status on individual health status in Indonesia. The data used Indonesia Family Life Survey 5 (IFLS 5). The study use logit regression model for analysis with health status variable as dependent variable. The other variable such as demography and socioeconomic status as independent variables. Socioeconomic status seen from two measures, namely education and income. The result of this study concludes the demography influence significantly on individual health status in Indonesia. Individual who lives in urban area has higher probability of being health by 1,02 percent compared to individual who lives in rural area. The other variable like socioeconomic status also influences significantly on the individual health status in Indonesia. Individual with longer years of education has higher probability of being health by 3,07 percent compared to individual with less years of education. Individual with high income has higher probability of being health compared to individual with low income.

In the context of international integration, managers’ knowledge plays an important role as a valuable organizational resource from a strategic perspective and a foundation for competitive advantage in business environment. The aim of this paper was to build assessment model and attest it in the case of Vietnam’s Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) regarding manager’s knowledge in preparing the information on financial statements. By analyzing current relative standards (including international and national systems) and two basic assessment models (ASK by Bloom et al. (1956) and BKD by Shinseki (1999)), the study developed to identify the assessment criteria of the manager’s knowledge as one main research objective. The research data of 71 SMEs in the sample showed that: (i)The relationship between managers’ background and their understanding about information on their financial statements was a negative linkage; (ii) The number of managers using their financial statements to make a business decision was very low; and (iii) The most important criteria on the financial statement in their views were profits and revenues.

A two-season field trial was carried out in the Upland Crop Experiment Field of the Faculty of Agronomy, Vietnam National University of Agriculture (VNUA) to assess the effects of three furrow heights (20, 35, and 50cm) and three manure compost levels (15, 25, and 35 tons ha-1) on the growth, yield, and quality of green asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) grown organically. The experiments were arranged in a randomized completely block design (RCBD) with three replications. The results showed that the harvested yield was highest (11.3 and 25.1 quintals ha-1 in the 2019 autumn and 2020 spring season, respectively) in the treatment with a furrow height of 35cm and compost level of 35 tons ha-1 in both seasons, and explained by the increased spear diameters and number of spears per plant in this treatment when the furrow height and compost level were increased. Additionally, the chlorophyll content, water loss, and dry matter weight of the spears also increased when the furrow height and compost level increased. The obtained quality of the spears under organic management at the furrow height of 35 cm and compost level of 35 tons ha-1 was higher than the other treatments with higher reducing sugars, vitamin C, and Brix values, while the residue nitrate contents of all the treatments were lower than the allowed safety threshold.

Erwinia is a genus of Enterobacteriacea containing mostly pathogens, which cause soft rot disease in many ornamental plants and crops, including Asparagus officinalis. Chemical treatments to control Erwinia have lost their attractiveness because of the development of resistant strains and the negative impacts on the environment and human health. Therefore, the study of biological controls of soft rot disease has gained great importance. There are several types of microorganisms that show activity against Erwinia spp. such as Pseudomonas fluorescence, Bacillus subtilis, and Streptomyces spp. Among them, Streptomyces spp. are found to be the most effective control agents. In this study, 64 isolates of Streptomyces were screened for their antibacterial activity against Erwinia spp. The results indicated that 18 isolates showed an antagonistic reaction against Erwinia spp. Among them, isolate D5.1 showed the highest inhibition activity. In addition, the morphological and antibacterial activities of isolate D5.1 grown in different conditions were also characterized.
