Hormonal Levels and Follicular Dynamics in Relation to the Oestrous Cycle in Barb and Arabian Mares, Algeria
Authors: Houssou H. , Bouzebda-Afri F. , Bouzebda Z. , Haddouche Z.
Published: July 2021

This current study is an effort to understand the hormonal and follicular growth in the Barb and Arabian mares during the oestrous cycle; as mares are unique creatures. A total of 53 mares with 97 oestrous cycles were studied. The mares with a mean age of 10.38 ± 4.55 were examined by ultrasonography every day during their breeding season (2017). Two blood samples from each mare (n = 24) were obtained for progesterone (P4), oestrogen (oestradiol-17 beta) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) determinations. The data revealed that the duration of the oestrous cycle was between 19 to 22 days. The pre-ovulatory follicle grew (3.02 ± 1.04) millimetre per day. The rate of cycles exploited in the mare (Arabian versus Barb) for conception was significantly different (P < 0.001). The maximal diameter of the follicle was 50.00 millimetre. The serum progesterone levels (P < 0.01) in mares were significantly higher in the luteal phase than those recorded during the time of oestrous. However, the levels of oestradiol and for FSH did not significantly change during the oestrous cycle in the mares. Determining the association between the size of the follicle and the hormone profiles were the most reliable criterion in the prediction of ovulation.

Authors: Bujňák L. , Naď P. , Mihok T.
Published: July 2021

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of a feeding diet containing a dry organic acid blend (lactic acid—ammonium formate—ammonium propionate—citrate—sorbate) in young pigs on their: performance, the apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients and the concentration of volatile fatty acids in their faeces. A total of 12 crossbred pigs (Slovakian White × Landrace) with an initial live weight of 12.78 ± 1.86 kg were divided into two dietary treatments. The experimental period lasted 28 days. Pigs were fed a control diet (control group) or a diet supplemented with a dry organic acid (OA) blend, 0.6 g per 100 g feed (experimental group). Compared with the control group, the average daily gain (ADG) was improved (P < 0.05) by OA blend over the period of the investigation (0—28 days). For the apparent total tract digestibility determination, ash which is insoluble in hydrochloric acid was used as a marker. The apparent total tract digestibility of crude protein and total ash was improved (P < 0.05) by the OA blend in the experiment. Compared with the control group, the concentration of the total volatile fatty acid in the faeces increased (P < 0.05) in pigs supplemented with the OA blend. The concentration of butyric acid in the faeces tended to be higher (P < 0.01) in pigs supplemented with the OA blend compared with the control group. In conclusion, the addition of 0.6 g per 100 g feed had a positive effect on: growth performance, total tract digestibility of crude protein and the concentration of volatile fatty acids in the faeces of young pigs.
Use of Bandaging in the treatment of Digital Dermatitis
Authors: Mudroň P. , Coles L. L. , Réková P.
Published: July 2021

The aim of this study was to compare two different methods for the treatment of digital dermatitis (DD) in dairy cows. Moreover, both treatment methods were tested if they could stop the recurrences of DD in the same patient. For this study, data were collected on two separate occasions across a six-month period (spring and the following autumn). During these two periods, 280 and 232 Holstein Friesian dairy cows were examined respectively in the crush. The following two treatment methods were compared:

1. Scarification of the lesion surface and antibiotic spray;

2. Resection of the lesion, antibiotic spray and powder, and covering with a bandage.

A first control 3 weeks after the initial trimming period was carried out to check the condition of the lesions. The recurrence rate of DD was assessed during the second hoof trimming (autumn). In this study, no differences between two treatment methods could be observed as all treated animals have shown a 100 % healing. The assessment of a recurrence rate showed no new cases of acute DD in the group 1 (non-bandaging) and in the group 2; however, there was a 28.6 % recurrence rate in the group 1 (non-bandaging). The material costs and treatment time were also several times higher in the bandaging group. In conclusion, the tested methods did not differ in healing success rate, however, there are other important factors like time and costs that play an important role in the decision of a farmer or manager as to which treatment to use for their dairy cows.
A Study on Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Different Subtypes of Breast Cancer
Authors: Dimitrova Polina D. , Popovska Savelina L. , Ivanov Ivan N.
Published: July 2021

The study aimed to investigate immune cell infiltration in different subtypes of breast cancer (BC). Retrospectively were selected 100 patients with primary BC, grouped into four molecular surrogate subtypes (Luminal A and Luminal B-like, HER2-positive and triple-negative - TN), determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC). In each patient, a percentage of stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) was determined by hematoxylin-eosin staining. IHC was performed using primary antibodies CD3, CD4, CD8, CD20, and FOXP3. Immunophenotyped lymphocytes were counted (separately intratumoral and stromal) and semi-quantitatively graded. In the studied tumors, 10% were defined as lymphocyte-predominant BC. A high count of intratumoral and stromal TILs subsets was found mainly in TN and HER2-positive BC. The stroma is the preferred localization for immune cells in all four BC subtypes. CD3+ T predominates over CD20+ B lymphocytes, with CD8+ T cytotoxic and FoxP3+ T regulatory cells dominating T subtypes. HER2 and TN are more immunogenic than Luminal A and Luminal B – like subtypes of BC. The T-cells’ immune response was predominant in the studied cases of BC, with a predominance of CD8+ Tc and Foxp3+ Treg cells located mainly in the stroma.

Authors: Lazović-Pita Lejla , Šćeta Lamija
Published: July 2021

The significance and methods of measuring inefficiency of local communities has been gaining prominence in the last decade. The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate the level of technical inefficiency in the sample of local communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) for the year of 2017. We implement parametric stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) to conduct an input-oriented stochastic parametric approach to measuring technical inefficiency of local communities in BiH. The results of our work are complementary to previous research indicating relative technical inefficiency of local communities in BiH. On average, BiH local communities’ total expenditures can be reduced by 46.8 percent without reducing output levels to achieve the result of the local community on the best practice frontier. Since our analysis and selection of variables are driven by data availability, the future research plans to include more variables.

Published: July 2021

The main aim of the study to find out whether organizational commitment has any mediation effect on the relationship between servant leadership and organizational citizenship behavior. Data was collected from 432 managers and staff of private commercial banks in Bangladesh. The respondents were selected using the convenience sampling technique. Structural equation modeling was used for analyzing the collected data. The study reveals that servant leadership has a direct influence on organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior, as well as organizational commitment has a direct impact on organizational citizenship behavior. It is also revealed that the relationship between servant leadership and organizational commitment is partially mediated by organizational commitment. The main implication of the study is that employees’ organizational citizenship behavior can be improved by servant leadership of managers through the indirect effect of organizational commitment of employees. The study also pinpoints some limitations as well as future research directions.
Capacity Competition in Differentiated Oligopolies: Entry Deterrence with Alternative Objective Functions
Authors: Ristić Bojan , Trifunović Dejan , Herceg Tomislav
Published: July 2021

This paper aims to identify the possible implications of quantity competition in markets with differentiated products on entry deterrence. If capacity commitments characterise this industry, quantities can be expected as the choice variable of rational players, even in the presence of product differentiation. Different equilibria of a static game occur depending on the degree of asymmetry of players, incumbent and entrant, which will crucially affect the shape of their best response functions. Asymmetry can stem from players’ advantage in demand and costs, their different objective functions, or the first-mover advantage. We will analyse entry where incumbent maximises the weighted average of profit and revenue while entrant is maximising profit. The reduction of asymmetry may intensify competition in the industry and, consequently, reduce entry barriers. Our findings provide an insight that could be used for practical recommendations for conducting competition policy and other sector-specific regulations, where the introduction and higher intensity of competition are desirable.
Unattended Ground Sensor Borders – the Forgotten Solution for Afghanistan
Authors: Bojor Laviniu , Cîrdei Ionuț Alin
Published: July 2021

Recent military conflicts identify the permanent feature of weaker combatants to take refuge in sanctuaries outside areas of responsibility. These territories in the vicinity of theaters of operations were used mainly for protection and survival but also for the recruitment, equipment, training or supply and support of forces directly involved in military actions. The expansion of the Hon Chi Min Trail supply network through Laos and Cambodia or the installation of a Taliban safe haven in Pakistan are examples that confirm their impact on the end result. The paper aims to analyze strategies that use sensors, drones and other capabilities specific to today’s arsenal of technology that can support military leaders in the field in solving this challenge of monitoring and controlling the boundaries of a theater of operations (TO).

Published: July 2021

Globalization has benefits despite solid objections to the policies and regimes on which it is based on or the ongoing challenges it poses to the nation-state, weakening its authority and driving into world affairs the sub- and transnational spaces. These benefits include access to information on various topics through various means, including mass media communication. On the one hand, the paper enlights the reader with the notion of popular geopolitics, demonstrating at the same time that we are not facing an entirely new phenomenon. On the other hand, it connects the attitude towards or during a major sporting event with the geopolitical context of that time to better understand world politics by the non-specialists in the field.

Cooperation Plans between SOE and NKVD Regarding the Romanian Area during January–May 1944
Authors: Zidaru Marian
Published: July 2021

The main S.O.E aim seems to have been the utilization of political circles in an endeavour to overthrow the government and get Romania out of the war or at least to bring about the removal of its array from the Russians front, and to deny the national resources to Germany. The USSR has been constant in its disinclination to play with Maniu or associates itself with British planes until they are convinced that some concrete contribution at their war aim would results. They would however be ready to discuss unconditional surrender with the emissary of the Romanian government, capable of putting it into effect. The evolution of these SOE plans will be presented in this article.

Many recent studies focus on the issue of interdependence relationship between the successful management of human resource and the improvement of organisational performance, under the aegis of key advances in technologies and information. Therefore, the digitalisation of human resource management is a hotly debated topic, with researchers focusing on the importance of this process within the organisations. The general intention of the author of this paper is to provide those interested with conceptual clarifications on electronic human resource management (e-HRM), by reference to the literature. From a specific point of view, the paper aims to highlight the relevant aspects of the digitalisation of human resource management in military organisations.
New Managerial Paradigm: Manager–Stakeholder Instead of Manager–Employee
Authors: Nicolescu Ovidiu , Nicolescu Ciprian
Published: July 2021

This paper aims to propose a change of the management paradigm by placing in the foreground the relationship between manager and stakeholder instead of the manager–subordinate relationship. The new managerial paradigm comes as a result of the wide-ranging mutations that have taken place in recent decades at the level of societies, economies and organizations around the world, which have forced the change of traditional managerial approaches. The work emphasizes why is necessary and possible to change the management paradigm in the present context, taking into consideration managerial and organizational arguments, that are based on observations, suggestions and recommendations of numerous specialists. Also, there are highlighted the quantitative and the qualitative differences between managerial paradigm focused on stakeholders and classical managerial paradigm of manager–employee, as well as the main advantages of a company stakeholder-based management system.

Authors: Ralea Marius , Butoi Vlad Alexandru
Published: July 2021

Starting from the premise of the complexity of the management process, it is essential to approach the fulfillment of the organization’s objectives in terms of the leader’s personality, taking into account the influence of his character on those he shepherds and who contribute earnestly to the success of the organization. Without being a coincidence, the specialists were interested in what motivates people to follow leaders and especially what traits of leaders make them to be appreciated and exert their influence casually, in order to achieve organizational efficiency. Onto exercising true leadership, beyond rigorous knowledge of principles, rules, modern leadership methods and styles, require a formidable, beautiful character, meant to achieve the cohesion of the community and its influence in achieving the purpose for which the organization was established. The character traits of the leader must be persuasive for the disciples, especially when we talk about an organizational climate prone to personal and professional development of each of the team members, and implicitly of the organization.

Legal, Political and Security aspects of the Pandemic Language
Authors: Belova Gabriela , Georgieva Gergana
Published: July 2021

From spring onwards 2020 has been irrevocably interwoven with words such as “pandemic”, “emergency”, “crisis”, “urgent measures”, etc. The usage of the pandemic language to describe the outbreak of COVID-19 derives from the etymologies of these words. However, it could also be rooted in political motives. There are instances of how specific terms could be mobilized to support policy aims. This is the main reason why more attention should be paid to the strength of the language used and more awareness of the usage of particular terms within a political and security context. It could be considered necessary to take extraordinary “urgent” measures to save lives as a result of a global “pandemic”, but at the same time, it is vital to be careful how exactly these terms are used to justify political principles, which were in operation even before the outbreak of COVID-19.
The Beginnings of Modern Higher Education in England
Authors: Mihăilă-Lică Gabriela
Published: July 2021

Realizing that a people can not be entirely conquered unless it is educated to embrace the culture and civilization of the conquerors, the Romans established the first schools in Britain in order to ‘romanize the sons of native chieftains’ [1]. With the arrival of Christianity, associated with the mission of Augustine in 597 AD, the churches took upon themselves the mission of teaching reading, writing and some religious knowledge, but few men benefited from this. The schools in the cathedrals and monasteries gradually grew to become universities, their main objective being to make students understand and explain the truth of God. “After the year 1000, cathedral schools replaced monasteries as cultural centres, and new forms of learning emerged. The cathedral schools were in turn supplanted by the universities, which promoted a “Catholic” learning that was inspired, oddly enough, by the transmission of the work of Aristotle through Arab scholars.”[2]. The paper analyses in broad lines the lengthy and burdensome process the English universities went through until the beginning of the 20th century in order to reach the performance of forming people capable not only of doing research and of disseminating knowledge, but also of contributing to the development of the country.

In this paper we analyzed organizational trust on an intentionality sample of military personnel, starting from one of the most used theoretical and empirical models in the literature, namely the scale of Mayer and Davis (1999), built on three dimensions: competence, benevolence and integrity of the leader. The analysis shows that the confidence in the leader in the military organization is high on all three dimensions.
Considerations on the Issues of Adoption from the Perspective of ECHR Reglementations
Authors: Stănciulescu Cristian Sorin
Published: July 2021

The legal issue of adoption has an obvious complex character, a circumstance that involves increasing the effort of in-depth analysis of regulations in the field, both for their correct interpretation and application, and for identifying possible inaccuracies or legislative gaps and substantiating relevant legislative proposals for their elimination. Since the entry into force of the current Civil Code (2011) until now, in the Romanian doctrine, one cannot identify a scientific paper with a monographic character in which the theoretical and practical issues of the legal regime of adoption in the Romanian system of law are analyzed and deepened. The paper presents a series of opinions on possible corrections in the legal regime of adoption from the perspective ofECHR regulations.
The Need To Promote Elitism In Education
Authors: Vladu Mircea
Published: July 2021

The idea of elaborating this article came to me after reading over and over again the content of Art.2 paragraph (1) of the National Education Law no.1 / 2011, with subsequent amendments and completions, a very important normative act for the present, but especially for the future of Romania, according to which „The law aims to promote an education oriented on values, creativity, cognitive abilities, volitional abilities and action capacities, fundamental knowledge and competencies/skills and abilities of direct utility, in the professional life and in the society. Anyone who reads the content of Art.2 paragraph (1) is entitled to believe that the most efficient secondary and higher education in the world is taking place in Romania. Unfortunately, when reading and analyzing the content of Art.3, it can be seen quite easily that the principles governing secondary and higher education, as well as lifelong learning in Romania have a more declarative character, i.e. there is one thing written on paper and something else is happening in reality. I would like to continue to talk about this, with arguments, supported by my knowledge and experience in the field of education, starting with September 1979, when I first entered a classroom consisting of military students, from the highly flattering position of instructor and educator and until now, after a lifetime of working in classrooms, laboratories, amphitheatres and auditoriums of several military and civilian higher education institutions, in the honorary position of university professor doctor habilitat and chairman of the University Ethics Commission.

Authors: Bostan Adelina , Stroia Mihaela Dorica , Haţiegan Cornel
Published: July 2021

It is known that main aspect at a belt conveyor functioning is speed control. This issue has a greater impact upon a process when two or more belt conveyers must work together in order to obtain high quality products. In this case we talk about, not only speed controlling, but of another important aspect, synchronization of belt conveyers. Present paper describes a solution designed and implemented for synchronization of two belt conveyers of different lengths. Each belt conveyer is driven by a motor. Each motor works at its own speed drive. The two conveyors are working together in a process of producing anti-slip door mats which are mainly used at inside door, decorative purpose, etc. The proposed solution is using a PLC and two variable speed drivers with different transmission ratio. This solution can be applied in processes which are divided in sub-processes that must work as a production flow.
Innovation-Centered Society: from the First Wave to the Smart Society
Authors: Herţanu Codrin-Leonard
Published: July 2021

Ideas really matter, as they decisively influence people thoughts, creeds and behaviours. Among these, the tomorrow’s world feature is a current dominant concern. Alvin Toffler’s perspective of the three major disruptive waves colliding mankind’s history is still revealing. Also, Thomas Friedman’s intuitive vision of an interconnected world becoming flat, relates to circumstances in which any nation could potentially challenge another one, on an equal basis, within the global competitive playing field. Recently, the concept of a future Smart Society gains ground, and innovation plays an essential role in it, as it possesses the potential not only to flatten the world, but also to expand it, in terms of enlarging human knowledge perspectives. Consequently, the future world society should be better named Innovation-Centered Society rather than Smart Society. Following the Toffler’s society evolution pattern, the core element of the future should be innovation, as this is the common denominator of the disruptive technologies progress, and has the power to create an entire supporting ecosystem.
Modern Approaches Regarding Classification and Terminology of Firearms up to 20mm in Caliber
Authors: Ilie Florin , Moşteanu Dănuț-Eugeniu , Georgescu Bogdan-Mihai
Published: July 2021

One would outright tell the differences between a rifle and a machine gun. But what if the things get so much complicated so that only a minuscule detail becomes the key into telling if that piece of ordnance pertains to a specific category of arms, more precisely if it fits into a distinguished subcategory of armament. At the moment, there are indefinitely many ways of structuring firearms into certain categories, but the methods are vague and imprecise when it comes to types that are strongly related or similar. Thus, combining history records and the official texts of various institutions ensue a more complex and plausible method of firearms classification and terminology registering alike.
Aspects Regarding the use of Biodegradable Ecological Detergents in the Decontamination of R.B.C.
Authors: Moşteanu Dănuț-Eugeniu , Ilie Florin , Hodiş Ruxandra
Published: July 2021

Ecological decontamination solutions are widely used in various fields of activity especially in this period when many countries in the world are implementing at macro level the concept of sustainable development. The use of detergents in the process of R.B.C. decontamination led to in-depth analyzes of the absorbent properties of organic products. These products have the ability to partially or completely remove detergents from wastewater resulting from decontamination, thus reducing pollution by environmental factors. The present paper aimed at the comparative analysis of the absorbent properties of a power plant ash and diatomite ore. Also, some experiments were performed on the biodegradability of detergents considered in the study and the interpolation of data analyzed by spline functions.
The Threat that is Represented by the Unauthorized Flight of the Rpas and the Anti-Drone Systems
Authors: Popescu Laurențiu-Răducu
Published: July 2021

The unauthorized flights of the RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) represent serious threats to the security of the aircraft with human crew on board, to the security of the troops in the theatre of operations as well as to the critical infrastructures and why not to the security of the civilian population. The purpose of the study was to identify which events have occurred recently related to RPAS and which of these represent real challenges to security and defense. Specific regulations and standards are not enough to control the RPAS phenomenon. I used specialized documents and studies, information and conclusions presented by the media, comparative analysis as research methods. Also, I highlighted the risks represented by RPAS. I have presented in chronological order some of the events that have taken place lately related to the use of RPAS, to demonstrate their wide spectrum of use. Even if several C-RPAS systems are installed (for anti-drone protection), an important area cannot be secured if you do not have enough systems capable of covering the entire restricted airspace. The development of anti-drone systems (C-RPAS) is rapidly required.
The Existing Technologies on Anti-Drone Systems
Authors: Popescu Laurențiu-Răducu
Published: July 2021

The paper presents the technologies currently available on the market in the field of anti-drone systems (C-RPAS -Counter Remotely Piloted Aircraft System). These include technologies with the help of radar, audio interception systems or via infrared and electro-optical devices, which are limited in remote sensing. The purpose of this paper was to highlight the multitude of factors that can influence the main mission of C-RPAS systems, the detection. Without detection the other features of a C-RPAS system could not be applied. I used specialized documents and studies, but also comparative analysis as research methods. The results of the study confirmed to me the hypothesis that anti-drone systems use in combination, one or more of the technologies (to detect, to recognize, to identify, to locate, to block, to capture or to destroy the drone). The first four (the detection, the recognition, the identification, the localization) are in the basic configuration for any C-RPAS system. In the future, there will be a challenge (for the producers of C-RPAS systems), the capture of the RPAS, especially the military ones. It is also important to prepare the operators / beneficiaries for such systems. They can influence the effectiveness of drone combat missions.

Does Turkey have a Central Asian Project?
Authors: Emre Sucu Ali , Iskandarov O. I. , Mahmudov R. B. , Chernov D. N.
Published: July 2021

Central Asia's importance in Turkish foreign policy has begun to rise since the beginning of the 2010s. Turkey determines its regional policy in the conception of the Turkic world, including Azerbaijan. With this regard, Turkey pays particular attention to the institutionalization of bilateral relations with the regional states. The most successful measure in that direction is the establishment of the Turkic Council. This integration project marks significant progress for the institutionalization of Turkey's Central Asian policy. Turkey is one of the non-regional actors affecting the Central Asian balance of power. However, it has limited influence on regional security and military affairs, which Russia dominates. Turkey is only a secondary non-regional actor in Central Asia. Therefore, it primarily structures its Central Asian policy using common historical and cultural elements. In this study, we investigate whether Turkey has a long-term project in Central Asia. For this purpose, we explore the restrictions of Turkish policy in Central Asia. After that, we compare Turkey's importance for the foreign policies of Central Asian states. Additionally, we evaluate Turkey's interest in non-Western organizations such as the Eurasian Economic Union and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to transform Turkish foreign policy priorities in recent years. Finally, we show that Turkey has a policy toward Central Asia but not a fully-fledged project for the region.
Juez constitucional e interpretación de normas en Hungría
Authors: Kruzslicz Péter
Published: July 2021

Este artículo hace una reflexión acerca de la interpretación constitucional en Hungría desde una perspectiva constitucional y normativa. Se parte de la concepción de la interpretación como herramienta de adaptación que asegura la comprensión y aplicación del derecho a casos concretos, asegurando con ello la estabilidad institucional y la seguridad jurídica. Para el caso de la interpretación constitucional, el texto aborda la interpretación judicial y el amplio activismo de los jueces modernos que los hacen protagonistas de los Estados Constitucionales actuales. Para el caso de Hungría, se resalta el surgimiento de una jurisdicción que ha tomado un lugar importante por su labor interpretativa y su aporte en la defensa de la Carta Política. Finalmente, este trabajo muestra el gran desafío que toma las decisiones de constitucionalidad y las particularidades que permiten comparar el caso húngaro con otros sistemas constitucionales en el mundo.
El fomento a una cultura de integridad en la administración pública colombiana
Authors: Valencia-Tello Diana Carolina
Published: July 2021

La cultura de la integridad implica la adopción de normas de conducta basadas en valores compartidos sobre el servicio público, especialmente cuando nos enfrentamos a dilemas éticos o a situaciones de conflicto de intereses. La OCDE desde 2002 ha realizado estudios sobre integridad en los Estados miembros pues reconoce la importancia de la discusión ética para el buen funcionamiento de las administraciones públicas. Pero el fomento de una cultura de integridad desde organizaciones internacionales plantea nuevos interrogantes sobre la efectividad que pueden tener estas recomendaciones en las administraciones públicas nacionales y locales; no solo por las limitaciones presupuestales y de recursos humanos que los Estados generalmente tienen, sino también porque estas recomendaciones son realizadas en el marco de políticas neoliberales que promueven la apertura del Estado al mercado global; las cuales no siempre son congruentes e integrales con valores, prácticas y perspectivas locales. El presente artículo de reflexión busca identificar las incongruencias que puede tener la cultura de integridad en la administración pública colombiana, mediante el análisis de fuentes secundarias.

Tras varios años de estudio, todas las áreas de la ciencia han hecho numerosos esfuerzos para prevenir el flagelo de la obesidad, promoviendo desde las diferentes especialidades medidas que promuevan una vida mas saludable. Teniendo en cuenta que se han quedado cortos tales esfuerzos, entidades gubernamentales de varios países y no gubernamentales han propuesto un nuevo esfuerzo: un esfuerzo legislativo que enfile un conjunto de políticas publicas y leyes en general que los países adopten y trabajen con sus instituciones para prevenir la enfermedad y promover hábitos de vida saludable. Dichas medidas pueden consistir en: 1) aumento de impuestos a determinados alimentos, 2) imposiciones publicitarias en bebidas y alimentos de alto riesgo de obesidad, entre otros, que los niños y adultos se alimenten mejor.

El Estado intervencionista como promotor del control social en la participación popular del Programa Nacional de Leche (PNL) del gobierno de la Unidad Popular, 1970-1973
Authors: Neves Guzmán Camila Ximena
Published: July 2021

Este trabajo muestra cómo el Programa Nacional de Leche fue una expresión del intervencionismo de un Estado social revolucionario que instó al control social de los sectores populares, reconociendo la labor comunitaria de los profesionales de lo social y del pueblo. A partir de archivos ministeriales, carteles de beneficencia y entrevistas a beneficiarias, el presente artículo explica la misión del Estado en el modelamiento de los cuerpos, el nuevo estatus de los profesionales sociales y los fundamentos de la participación social. A partir de lo anterior, se deduce que el control social permeó en distintas dimensiones de las relaciones sociales, corrigiendo el cuerpo y mente de la madre-pueblo.

Melalui berbagai eksperimen (uji pembersihan, pengeringan, pengurangan lekuk, pewarnaan, lipat, lekuk, perangkaian, sealant), didapatkan hasil uji dan metode yang inovatif dan berpotensi dikembangkan menjadi produk perhiasan mode berbahan baku sisik ikan kakap. Metode pembersihan paling baik menggunakan air dan deterjen. Pewarna angkak (merah), kunyit (kuning), dan biru brilian FCF (biru) menghasilkan perpaduan warna yang lengkap dan baik. Perendaman dengan larutan cuka murni merupakan cara terbaik mengatasi lengkungan pada sisik ikan. Teknik lipat dan lekuk harus dilakukan searah serat sisik ikan. Semua uji perangkaian sisik ikan menggunakan teknik payet bisa diaplikasikan pada perancangan produk perhiasan. Rekomendasi metode ini dinilai lebih inovatif dan menunjukkan keunggulan yang dimiliki oleh sisik ikan kakap (warna, tekstur, transparansi) dibandingkan proses pengolahan sisik ikan yang sudah ada di pasaran.

Perkembangan art deco tidak lepas dari pengaruh situasi dan kondisi zaman, dimana pada saat itu Eropa sedang mengembangkan revolusi industri, sehingga penemuan teknologi berkembang pesat. Pergerakan arsitektur modern yang berkembang saat itu juga mempengaruhi gaya art deco dan memberikan sentuhan modern. Modern pada masa itu diartikan lebih menonjol dari lingkungan sekitarnya. Kesenian ini dimanifestasikan dalam pemilihan warna yang mencolok, proporsi yang tidak biasa, bahan dan dekorasi baru. Ekspresi art deco semakin mendapat tempat di dunia seni rupa dengan terbitnya buku Art Deco karya Bevis Hillier di Amerika pada tahun 1969. Salah satu bangunan yang mengalami euforia konsep art deco adalah observatorium Griffith yang pada saat itu sangat berbeda dengan fungsi bangunan art deco pada umumnya yang cenderung bersifat komersial dan bertingkat. Dalam mengkaji konsep arsitektur art deco pada observatorium, peneliti akan menggunakan prinsip art deco oleh Bevis Hillier, yaitu: shaped, ornamen dan material. Peneliti akan menganalisis observatorium Griffith berdasarkan bagian dari elemen art deco tersebut. Untuk menganalisis eksterior bangunan, metode yang digunakan adalah dengan mengumpulkan data literatur yang memadai dari artikel, jurnal dan buku terkait dengan gaya bangunan art deco dan observatorium Griffith, kemudian data yang didapat dijadikan sebagai pedoman deskripsi pada penerapan art deco di observatorium Griffith. Selain itu juga peneliti mengamati setiap bentukan dan paduan warna dari beberapa gambar pada bagian observatorium Griffith. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa observatorium Griffith sepenuhnya mengadaptasi konsep arsitektur art deco dengan shaped bangunan klasik yunani kuno, penggunaan ornamen berupa pola simbolisasi astronomis pada pintu utama, pola chevron pada dinding bangunan, pola daun aztek pada pembatas teras lantai atas dan lukisan legenda yunani kuno pada interiornya serta penggunaan material limestone dengan saturasi warna putih dan krem yang umumnya digunakan pada bangunan berkonsep art deco.
