Authors: Nursari Bertha
Published: July 2020

In Japanese language teaching, either in Japan and outside Japan, the teachers are faced learners who have different cultures both in terms of mieru bunka (見える文化visible culture) and mienai bunka (見えない文化 invisible culture). As teachers who teach foreign languages ​​and learners who study foreign languages, both parties should not ignore culture that also appears in the learning process of foreign languages ​​(Yashiro, K & Sera, T., 2010).  This paper will examine the use of zeikomi (税込 price include tax) and zeinuki (税抜price exclude tax) price label realia in terms Japanese-Indonesian intercultural understanding. The method which used in this paper is literary research.  Some terms  that appear in everyday life such as  zeikomi (税込)、zeinuki (税抜き), B hin (B 品, B quality)、wake ari shouhin (分けあり商品 imperfect product) are used as vocabulary inputs in class activities. The term zeikomi, zeinuki, B hin and wake ari shouhin are examples of mienai bunka will provide intracutural understanding to learners. This paper shows that using realia can make classroom’s activities more interesting.

Authors: Saini Ajit Singh , Pal Saurabh , Shrivastav Vandana
Published: July 2020

Diabetes is a disease that occurs when blood glucose level is too high. To control blood glucose levels in diabetic patients, modern therapies with a healthy diet and regular physical activity has been a good approach for the management of the diabetes. However, the disease eventually becomes deepen in most of the patients with age, and current approaches are not sufficient, demanding supportive and alternative approaches. The present paper portrays a contextual analysis of the impact of Yagya Therapy on diabetic level (HbA1C) in 2 weeks, using an appropriate herbal formulation on 10 patients, who had been experiencing diabetes since recent years. 10 diabetic patients (5 males and 5 females) on allopathic medicine for past more than 1 year without any change in medication and dose in past 3 months participated in the study. They were given 13 days of Yagya Therapy twice a day and their pre and post blood level of fasting glucose, Post Prandial (PP) glucose, and HbA1C were measured. Among 10 patients only 6 had attended nearly all of the sessions. Among 6 Patient, all of them showed reduction in the HbA1c value. The four of the patients, it was remarkable HbA1c difference i.e. 0.4, 0.4, 0.3, 0.2 respectively indicating impressive results i.e. affecting 3 months glucose sugar average and producing reduction in them with just 26 sessions in 13 days. The present study indicated Yagya therapy as a potential supportive and alternative solution in the management of diabetes. The increase in the time duration of the Yagya Therapy for more than 3-6 months may give the desired results for managing the diabetes.
श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता का यज्ञ दर्शन – एक विवेचनात्मक अध्ययन
Authors: Jayswal Anurag
Published: July 2020

यज्ञ वैदिक काल से एक प्रचलित अवधारणा रही है। यह अग्निहोत्र जैसी कर्मकांड परक क्रिया से लेकर आत्म परिष्कार की प्रखर आध्यात्मिक साधना को समाहित करता है। अन्य पुरातन विधाओं के समान यज्ञ की स्थूल मान्यता भी आज लोक प्रतिष्ठित है। यज्ञ के तीन अर्थ- दान, संगतिकरण व देवपूजन हैं। जिन के व्यापक अर्थ भगवद्गीता में मिलते हैं। भगवद्गीता में यज्ञ एक ‘जीवनदर्शन’ है। कर्म सम्पादन की शुभ्र व सप्राण प्रेरणा के रूप में यज्ञ की प्रतिष्ठा है; ‘यज्ञार्थ कर्म’ से कर्त्ता के कर्म ही आहुति रूप होकर परमार्थ के विराट कुण्ड में अर्पित किए जाते हैं। कामना, लोभ व निष्क्रियता से रहित जीवन क्रम यज्ञमय बनता है, जो संकीर्णता जन्य असंतोष से मुक्ति प्रदान करने वाला है। यज्ञीय जीवन सहकार व सह-अस्तित्व के मूल्यों से युक्त एक सतत प्रवहमान अवस्था है, जिसमें हर क्षण कर्म व्यक्त व विलीन होते हैं। गीतामें यज्ञ विविध प्रकार से है। इसे अर्पण द्वारा आरोहण की क्रिया माना गया है, जिसमें चेतना निम्न स्वभाव से उच्च व उच्चतर रूपों की ओर बढ़ती है। यह एक ओर साधनों का महत प्रयोजन के लिए संधान है, जो कर्मयोग का पर्याय बनता है, दूसरी ओर आत्म शुद्धि की सूक्ष्म व गुह्य प्रक्रिया।
Real Exchange Rate, Effective Demand, and Economic Growth
Authors: Martínez-Hernández Francisco
Published: July 2020

This paper seeks to assess the effects of an undervalued currency on economic growth. Based on a reformulation of Rodrik’s undervaluation index, our econometric results suggest that real exchange rate undervaluation has, to differing degrees, been able to enhance the economic growth of developed and developing countries. Nevertheless, when we disaggregate the main components of aggregate demand for different clusters of developed and developing countries using the Stock Flow Consistent approach (SFC), we find that in general, an undervalued currency has expansionary and contractionary effects in the short-run, specifically via the export sector and the level of aggregate consumption, respectively. This paper also estimates the effects of an undervalued currency on the level of investment and the trade balance.
Lo Iuav ai Tolentini: Carlo Scarpa e gli altri
Authors: Brodini Alessandro
Published: July 2020

The Scuola superiore di architettura di Venezia, later called Iuav, was founded in 1926. To cope with the inadequacy of the original seat in Palazzo Giustinian, during the Sixties the University moved to the complex of San Nicolò da Tolentino, known as “i Tolentini”. Investigating the history of the transformations of the Renaissance monastery, the book highlights the often-overlooked contribution of Carlo Scarpa, one of the most significant figures of the Scuola, but also of other designers who contributed to outline the features of the iconic building of Iuav.
The analysis is divided into two parts: the first presents the protagonists, the designs, the building works, and the management of the building site, principally on the basis of a rich amount of visual sources; the second is a collection of mostly unpublished documents, which contributes to understand the cultural climate of those years with the power of primary sources.

Published: July 2020

Purpose: To compare post-operative mean refractive error with SandersRetzlaff-Kraff/theoretical (SRK-T) and Holladay 1 formulae for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in cataract patients with longer axial lengths. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Ophthalmology, Shaikh Zayed Hospital Lahore from 01 January 2017 01 January, 2018. Material and Methods: A total of 80 patients were selected from Ophthalmology Outdoor of Shaikh Zayed Hospital Lahore. The patients were randomly divided into two groups of 40 each by lottery method. IOL power calculation was done in group A using SRK-T formula and in group B using Holladay1 formula after keratomery and A-scan. All patients underwent phacoemulsification with foldable lens implantation. Post-operative refractive error was measured after one month and mean error was calculated and compared between the two groups. Results: Eighty cases were included in the study with a mean age of 55.8 ± 6.2 years. The mean axial length was 25.63 ± 0.78mm, and the mean keratometric power was 43.68 ± 1.1 D. The mean post-operative refractive error in group A (SRK/T) was +0.36D ± 0.33D and in group B (Holladay 1) it was +0.68 ± 0.43. The Mean Error in group A was +0.37D ± 0.31D as compared to +0.69D ± 0.44D in group B. Conclusion: SRK/T formula is superior to Holladay 1 formula for cases having longer axial lengths.

Authors: Mazhar-ul-Hassan, Arif Nayani Saba Alkhairy Farnaz Siddiqui
Published: July 2020

Purpose: To find the frequency of cataract and to study the relationship between cataract development and tobacco use. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Single day eye camp at Dow University Hospital Karachi in August 2016. Material and Methods: All patients presenting to the camp were screened through standard eye examination including refraction and fundoscopy. After dilatation of pupil these patients were examined with a slit lamp by a consultant ophthalmologist for confirmation of the presence of cataract and its type. Participants were then questioned regarding the type of tobacco use and its duration and frequency with which it was consumed. Those patients with a history of tobacco consumption for more than ten years were included in the study. Results: A total of 550 patients presented to the eye camp of which 120 (21.81%) subjects were found to have a cataract. The mean age of the subjects was 58.02 ± 8.3 years. There were 67 (55.8%) males and 53 (44.2%) females. Among the patients diagnosed with cataract 89 (74.2%) had no history of tobacco usage while 31 (25.8%) gave a positive response regarding tobacco consumption. In nonsmokers the most common cataract was cortical where as in cigarette smokers it was nuclear 8 (57.1%) and in users of smokeless tobacco it was posterior subcapsular 5 (38.5%). There were no pseudophakic patients seen as almost all came from remote areas where there was lack of surgical facility. Conclusion: Tobacco consumption has a strong association with cataract development. Cigarette Smoking as well as chewing smokeless tobacco should be curtailed or avoided altogether. Keywords: Cataract, tobacco, visual acuity.

Objective: To study the effect of short-term use of oral contraceptive pills on intra-ocular pressures of women of childbearing age.  

Methods: It was a comparative observational study, conducted at Arif memorial teaching hospital and Allied hospital Faisalabad for a period of six months. Hundred female subjects were divided into two groups of 50 each. Group A, included females, who had been taking oral contraceptive pills (OCP) for more than 6 months and less than 36 months. Group B, included 50 age-matched controls, who had never used OCP. Ophthalmic and systemic history was taken. Careful Slit lamp examination was performed and intraocular pressures (IOP) were measured using Goldman Applanation tonometer. Fundus examination was done to rule out any posterior segment disease. After collection of data, we analyzed and compared the intra ocular pressures between the two groups by using ANOVA in SPSS version 21.  

Results:

Average duration of using OCP was 14.9 months. There was no significant difference of Cup to Disc ratios between the two groups (p= 0.109). However, significant difference was noted between the IOP of OCP group and controls. (p=0.000).

Conclusion:

OCP significantly increase IOP even when used for short time period.

Eye in COVID-19: A Brief Review
Authors: Ali Muhammad Mohsin , Dar Qudsia Anwar , Kamal Zahid , Khan Alishba
Published: July 2020

This is a brief review covering the currently available literature on ocular manifestations of COVID-19, andprevention strategies for ophthalmologists. A literature search was carried out of Pubmed, Google Scholar andWHO database of publications on COVID. Keywords used in the search were eye, ocular manifestations,ophthalmology, COVID-19, nCoV-2019, and coronavirus disease. All available articles were reviewed and thosepertinent to the study topic were included. Considering the dearth of information available, ophthalmology journals were also searched separately for relevant articles. Major ocular manifestation of COVID reported in literature is red eye, which usually presents before the onset of respiratory symptoms. Since the eye can be a possible transmission route for SARS-CoV-2, infection control measures should be undertaken by ophthalmologists, including use of personal protection equipment and eye/face covering. A framework for structuring ophthalmological services during the COVID pandemic is also presented in this review.

Persistent Lower Lid Swelling in an Infant – Impacted Foreign Body!
Authors: Nasir Javeria , Javed Anum , Arshad Owais , Chatni Mohammad Hanif`
Published: July 2020

Ophthalmologists, including general practitioners definitely encounter ocular foreign bodies in their clinics. Theconjunctival fornices are potential sites of impaction. We report a case of a 9-month infant boy who was referred to us for a persistent lower lid swelling for one month. He had already been to an eye specialist before presenting to us. Upon examination, a round, pink coloured, toy cart-wheel came out of his lower eye lid of the right eye. Surprisingly, there was no associated conjunctival or adnexal damage. The authors wish to emphasize the importance of taking a thorough history and adequate general physical examination. A missing part of a toy, elucidated on history, should always raise the suspicion among parents and/or care givers for a probable foreign body in infants and children.

Abstract- Financial statements are a source of financial information for the entity measuring the performance. The financial statements are prepared in certain accounting standards (SAK); General IFRS-based, ETAP or EMKM, according to business size classification. For small and micro businesses (SME’s), based on SAK EMKM. The standards have been modified several times. Simplification is carried out to make it easier for micro and small entities to prepare financial reports based on standards, however, in fact, is that SMEs mostly do not make business financial reports with or without accounting standard. The standard is still considered to be too difficult for micro and small entities.

This research was conducted to determine the perceptions of micro-businesses in preparing financial statements based on SAK EMKM. By using primary data and the results of small focus group discussions, as well as testing using Structural Equation Modeling, there are 2 factors that significantly influence the perceptions of SMEs in making financial reports, those are the benefits of the Financial Statements and the timing of the preparation of Financial Statements. The SME’s know the benefits/advantages of preparing Financial Statements, while the challenges faced are the lack of knowledge about accounting records and the lack of sufficient time to make financial reporting.

The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and its worldwide spread has become a challenge for healthcare professionals related to rapid diagnosis of infection caused by the new coronaviruses, provision of specialized medical care, rehabilitation and secondary prevention. Currently, there is limited information on primary, secondary prevention and medical rehabilitation of this disease. The most common clinical manifestation of the new variant of coronavirus infection is bilateral pneumonia, with 34% of patients developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Given the unusual pandemic situation and the peculiar COVID-19 pathogenesis, the stereotyped application of generally accepted methods may be unsafe or ineffective. The Union of Rehabilitologists of Russia has prepared Temporary guidelines that are based on the advice on medical rehabilitation of patients with COVID-19 at various stages of special medical care published by WHO specialists, analysis of reports from clinics currently involved in rehabilitation of COVID-19 patients, as well as on the results of clinical studies conducted earlier on the rehabilitation of patients with Post-intensive care syndrome and adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) of non-coronavirus etiology, regulatory documents of the Russian Ministry of Health and Federal Service on Surveillance for Consumer rights protection and human well-being. A syndrome-based approach to the use of means and methods of physical and rehabilitation medicine is also considered. The guidelines are intended for heads of medical organizations and their structural divisions, general practitioners, physicians, infectious disease doctors, pediatricians, emergency physicians of intensive care units in infectious hospitals, physiotherapy and sports medicine doctors, physiotherapists, medical psychologists, physical therapy instructors, nurses and other specialists of multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams working in the field of medical care for patients with COVID-19 at various stages.
Uso da Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas (PBL) como metodologia de ensino em aulas de Cálculo Numérico
Authors: Blass Leandro , Irala Valesca Brasil
Published: July 2020

Este artigo descreve os principais resultados de uma pesquisa realizada na disciplina de Cálculo Numérico com duas turmas de natureza multicurso (Engenharias de Energia, Química, Produção e Alimentos, Licenciaturas em Matemática e Química), ofertadas em uma universidade pública localizada no sul do Brasil, somando um total de sessenta e oito alunos. O objetivo da pesquisa foi investigar as possibilidades e as limitações ao longo do processo de implementação da metodologia da Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas (PBL). É utilizada uma abordagem qualitativa para apresentação dos resultados, com base na pesquisa do tipo intervenção pedagógica (DAMIANI et al., 2013). Ao decorrer das atividades, foi possível observar que a PBL gerou aulas mais dinâmicas, as situações-problemas proporcionaram interesse aos alunos, bem como a relação professor-aluno se tornou mais cooperativa, havendo evidente construção de significados do conteúdo matemático explorado. É importante também destacar algumas dificuldades no processo, tais como a administração do tempo, o número de discentes e a adaptação dos alunos ao novo formato das aulas.
Schack och social interaktion
Authors: Wide Sverre
Published: July 2020

What can a theory of chess learn from sociology? And what can sociology learn from chess? This article examines the contribution of Scandinavian sociologists Dag Østerberg and Johan Asplund on chess and sociology in order to better understand chess and, to some degree, the sociologies of Østerberg and Asplund. Developing the concept of tertius as a necessary third quasi actor mediating between ego and alter, the article also contributes to a general sociological theory of games. The game is analysed as a form of interaction where each player plays (i) with tertius against the opponent, and (ii) with the opponent against tertius. The article ends by arguing that tertius could be a valuable concept for sociological theory.
Komande temanummer av Sociologisk Forskning

Det behövs sociologiska perspektiv för att belysa de många samhälleliga utmaningar som pandemin covid-19 har inneburit, såväl direkt som indirekt. Vi efterlyser därför aktuella och empiriskt grundade forskningsartiklar som utifrån sociologiska perspektiv kan öka vår förståelse av coronakrisen och pandemin covid-19.

Relevanta frågor att belysa är till exempel expertkunskaper och relationen mellan vetenskap och politik, betydelsen av social ojämlikhet under pandemin samt dess sociala konsekvenser, samhällets organisering och styrning under kristider, de nya utmaningar som krishanteringsåtgärder skapar, hur människor agerar under kriser och hanterar ensamhet, isolering och permitteringar. Artiklarna kan handla om svenska förhållanden men även använda jämförande och internationella perspektiv för att förstå det som händer i Sverige i förhållande till andra länder.

En världsomspännande hälsokris gör att vi alla behöver experter mer än någonsin, för att veta hur vi kan skydda oss mot viruset och för att ta fram vaccin eller andra effektiva behandlingar. Under pandemin covid-19 har vi sett att det finns en stor tilltro till vetenskap och teknik samtidigt som expertisen ständigt ifrågasätts. Expertkunskaper handlar aldrig enbart om faktaförhållanden utan även om hur problemen uppfattas och vem som har ansvar för att lösa dem. Sociologiska perspektiv på huruvida vetenskap uppfattas som är viktiga under kriser när experter dominerar debatten.

Minst lika viktiga sociologiska teman är mellanmänskliga relationer, emotioner och människors drivkrafter. Vad är det som gör att vi agerar som vi gör i en kris? Vilken beredskap har människor och organisationer för att agera i en kris?

Vi efterlyser också bidrag som uppmärksammar perspektiv som tenderat att falla bort i rapporteringen, till exempel frågor om ojämlikhet, konflikter, makt och ideologi. Det finns ett stort behov av empirisk forskning som undersöker hur coronakrisen och pandemin covid-19 har drabbat olika grupper och huruvida socioekonomiska skillnader, åldersskillnader och intressekonflikter har synliggjorts eller osynliggjorts under coronakrisen.

Bidrag kan skrivas på svenska, engelska, danska och norska. Artiklar kan vara mellan 4 000 och 10 000 ord långa. I övrigt se tidskriftens riktlinjer på www.sociologiskforskning.se. Alla artiklar genomgår anonymiserad kollegial granskning (double blind peer review). Vid frågor, kontakta gärna någon av gästredaktörerna för temanumret.

Effects of Pesticides-Laden Fruits and Vegetables on the Permeability of Renal Basement Membranes-A Route to Proteinuria
Authors: Shahper Lubna , Qasim Muneer Muhammad , Hassan Sadia , Ayyub Nazia , Rasool Tahir
Published: July 2020

Objective: To study the hazardous effects of pesticide residue-laden fruits and vegetables on the permeability of renal basement membrane at proximal and distal convoluted tubules in rats.Study Design: Observational study. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at the animal house at the Postgraduate Medical Institute (PGMI), Lahore for 21 consecutive days from 15th Nov 2018 to 6th Dec 2018. Materials and Methods: The study design was comparative comprising of twelve Wistar male rats. The subjects were divided into two equal groups, control (group A) and experimental (group B). Body weight of subjects were noted before and after the experiment. Triazophos was given to the group B in a dose of 8.2 mg/kg body weight-sub chronic dose (1/10th of LD50) as 1:100 dilution solution by oral gavage for 21 consecutive days. Blood for serum creatinine and 24-hour urine for proteinuria were collected on day 1, 7, 14 and 21. On day 22, the subjects were sacrificed, kidneys dissected out and preserved in 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF) for histological examination. Pre and post experiment body weight of control group was compared with experimental group. Results: The histopathology of the renal basement membrane of group A showed continuity while group B showed interruption, vacuolization, inflammatory cell infiltration and blood vessel congestion in tissues. Biochemical analysis confirmed raised serum creatinine and proteinuria levels. Conclusion: The pesticide residue-laden fruits and vegetables adversely affect the histology of basement membranes in proximal and distal convoluted tubules leading to disturbed renal functions. The presence of residual pesticides in the food chain is hazardous to human health.
“TO BE OR NOT TO BE?”: DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SOUL IN SOVIET LITERATURE AND CRITICISM OF THE 1920–1930S
Authors: Mashkova Ye. Ye.
Published: July 2020

The article is devoted to the problem of transformation of the key Russian concept “Soul” in the socialist realism literature and critique of post-revolutionary decades. It is found that for the supporters of new political system this concept is mainly related to religious ideas about divine in human being. Symptomatic for 1920s attempts to discredit this concept, to exclude it from the active vocabulary as ideologically alien anachronism are described. Complex “poputchik’s” (L. Leonov’s, M. Shaginyan’s), “internal emigrant’s” (A. Platonov’s) reflection on Bolshevik spiritual experiment is shown. Soviet River by L. Leonov, Gidrocentral by M. Shaginyan, The Street Organ by A. Platonov do indicate that Soul continues to be one of the main ontological categories for these writers.

It is stated that by the mid-1930s the word Soul has not disappeared from literary language, although more often than not it has been used only in structure of idioms. The texts by F. Gladkov, I. Le, V. Ketlinskaya, B. Yasensky, G. Dalny, P. Nilin, A. Zorich, A. Carcev prove that traditional views on Soul have just not been eradicated by new ideology but have been distorted and adapted to it.

The difference between categories “collectivism” and “sobornost” is demonstrated.
ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF COOLANT FLOWING THROUGH THE PIPES OF THE
SOLAR COLLECTOR SYSTEM FOR HEATING
Authors: Odintsov А.N. , Nichkova L.A. , Zaruk I.I.
Published: July 2020

This article discusses the impact of anthropogenic pressure on the environment, in particular, the tendency for the average global temperature to change on the earth’s surface. As one of the factors that have a significant effect on the increase in temperature should certainly include an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Although over the past century of instrumental observations, its concentration has increased from 0.02% to 0.03%, the effect of this change is felt in all corners of the planet. One of the ways to reduce the anthropogenic load is the search for ways to further, more efficiently use the energy of solar radiation to heat various buildings and structures. The article considers the possibility and feasibility of changing the framework of traditional coaxial vacuum tubular solar collectors. The proposed changes in the framework of traditional coaxial vacuum tubular solar collectors will allow the movement of a liquid or gaseous coolant, without changing its phase state, due to the action of gravitational forces. The proposed framework can function completely autonomously and does not require additional energy sources for ability of circulation of the coolant.
Bringing Home the Right to Housing to Advance Urban Sustainability
Authors: Alexander Lisa T.
Published: July 2020

The title of my talk today is Bringing Home the Right to Housing to Advance Urban Sustainability. You may ask what is the right to housing? Why do we need to bring it home? And what does it have to do with the broader topic of today’s symposium, urban sustainability?

The human right to housing, although not a formal American federal or constitutional right, provides an important legal and normative framework that can help American cities and states better balance the needs of owners and non-owners in local housing and development struggles. If American cities and states want to create sustainable urban communities that will flourish for generations, they will need the human right to housing as one legal tool in their sustainability toolkit. If we understand the term urban sustainability to include not just the sustainability of the land, air, water, and spaces that humans occupy, but also the sustainability of the inhabitants and positive social relationships in urban spaces, then the human right to housing must become a part of cities’ urban sustainability arsenal.
Water Valuation and Utility Rates
Authors: Hardberger Amy
Published: July 2020

As I’ve worked on this topic, it really has evolved. I was thrown into land use, but land use opened my eyes to new water tools. Nationwide there is a shift towards conservation of water and water sustainability. Land use might be the “ace-in-the-hole,” not the simple act of turning the water off when you brush your teeth—even though I want you to do that.

What’s important when talking about how we are going to survive, is “where are we going?” Because cities are so overpopulated, we are moving out of rural areas and into cities. This has caught the interest of the Water Development Board because water usage is only going up. Overall, nobody will need less water in the future. This doesn’t mean there aren’t levers we can pull to make new individual users use water in a new way. As we move towards urban areas, we get into this “tug of war.” City residents along with the Oil & Gas and Agricultural industries all share water and have to figure out how to share. The key is how to share effectively.
