Exchange Rate Policy and Sovereign Bond Spreads in Developing Countries
Authors: Jahjah Samir , Wei Bin , Yue Vivian Z.
Published: August 2019

This paper empirically analyzes how exchange rate policy affects the issuance and pricing of international bonds for developing countries. We find that countries with less flexible exchange rate regimes pay higher sovereign bond spreads and are less likely to issue bonds. Quantitatively, changing a free-floating regime to a fixed regime decreases the likelihood of bond issuance by 4.6% and increases the bond spread by 1.3% on average. Furthermore, countries with real exchange rate overvaluation have higher bond spreads and higher bond issuance probabilities. Moreover, such positive effects of real exchange rate overvaluation tend to be magnified for countries with fixed exchange rate regimes. Our results suggest that choosing a less flexible exchange rate regime in general leads to higher borrowing costs for developing countries, especially when their currencies are overvalued.
Individual Price Adjustment Along the Extensive Margin
Authors: Gagnon Etienne , López-Salido J. David , Vincent Nicholas
Published: August 2019

Firms employ a rich variety of pricing strategies whose implications for aggregate price dynamics often diverge. This situation poses a challenge for macroeconomists interested in bridging micro and macro price stickiness. In responding to this challenge, we note that differences in macro price stickiness across pricing mechanisms can often be traced back to price changes that are either triggered or cancelled by shocks. We exploit observed micro price behavior to quantify the importance of this margin of adjustment for the response of inflation to shocks. Across a range of empirical exercises, we find strong evidence that changes in the timing of price adjustments contribute significantly to the flexibility of the aggregate price level.
Liquidity Shocks, Dollar Funding Costs, and the Bank Lending Channel During the European Sovereign Crisis
Authors: Correa Ricardo , Sapriza Horacio , Zlate Andrei
Published: August 2019

This paper documents a new type of cross-border bank lending channel. The deepening of the European sovereign debt crisis in 2011 restrained the financial intermediation of European banks in the United States. In this period, some of the U.S. branches of European banks faced a dollar liquidity shock—due to their perceived risk reflecting the sovereign risk of their countries of origin—which in turn affected the branches’ lending to U.S. entities. We use a novel dataset to analyze the operations of branches of foreign banks in the United States. Our results show that: (1) The U.S. branches of European banks experienced a run on their deposits, mainly from U.S. money market funds. (2) The branches with curtailed access to large time deposits relied more on funding from their own parent institutions, thus shifting from being net suppliers to being net receivers of dollar funding from their related offices. (3) Since the additional funding received from parent institutions was not enough to offset the decreased access to U.S. funding, such branches reduced their lending to U.S. entities.
On Returns Differentials
Authors: Curcuru Stephanie E. , Thomas Charles P. , Warnock Francis E.
Published: August 2019

Estimates of U.S. returns differentials have ranged from exorbitant to quite small, in part because of their volatility coupled with the relatively short time series available. We shed light on underlying drivers of returns differentials by presenting a number of decompositions: a by-asset-class decomposition into yields and capital gains, the Gourinchas and Rey (2007a) composition and return effects, and further decompositions of capital gains that focus on exchange rate effects. While each decomposition informs thinking about returns differentials, one constant is evident throughout: to date the existing differential favoring the U.S. has owed primarily to one factor, a differential in direct investment yields. We discuss how our analysis informs the income puzzle (of positive net income flows to the U.S. even as its net international investment position is negative and substantial) and the position puzzle (of a sizeable gap between the reported U.S. net international position and cumulated current account deficits), provide an initial assessment of the literature on the dynamics of returns differentials, and present a framework to guide a forward-looking view of how returns differentials might evolve in the future.
International Evidence on Government Support and Risk Taking in the Banking Sector
Authors: Correa Ricardo , Marques Luís Brandão , Sapriza Horacio
Published: August 2019

Government support to banks through the provision of explicit or implicit guarantees affects the willingness of banks to take on risk by reducing market discipline or by increasing charter value. We use an international sample of rated banks and find that government support is associated with more risk taking by banks, especially prior and during the 2008-2009 financial crisis. We also find that restricting banks&amp;amp;amp;#x27; range of activities ameliorates the link between government support and bank risk taking. We conclude that strengthening market discipline by reducing bank complexity is needed to address this moral hazard problem.
Export Dynamics in Large Devaluations
Authors: Alessandria George , Pratap Sangeeta , Yue Vivian Z.
Published: August 2019

We study the source and consequences of sluggish export dynamics in emerging markets following large devaluations. We document two main features of exports that are puzzling for standard trade models. First, given the change in relative prices, exports tend to grow gradually following a devaluation. Second, high interest rates tend to suppress exports. To address these features of export dynamics, we embed a model of endogenous export participation due to sunk and per period export costs into an otherwise standard small open economy. In response to shocks to productivity, the interest rate, and the discount factor, we find the model can capture the salient features of export dynamics documented. At the aggregate level, the features giving rise to sluggish exports lead to more gradual net export reversals, sharper contractions and recoveries in output, and endogenous stagnation in labor productivity.
Can Structural Reforms Help Europe?
Authors: Eggertsson Gauti B. , Ferrero Andrea , Raffo Andrea
Published: August 2019

Structural reforms that increase competition in product and labor markets are often indicated as the main policy option available for peripheral Europe to regain competitiveness and boost output. We show that, in a crisis that pushes the nominal interest rate to its lower bound, these reforms do not support economic activity in the short run, and may well be contractionary. Absent the appropriate monetary stimulus, reforms fuel expectations of prolonged deflation, increase the real interest rate, and depress aggregate demand. Our findings carry important implications for the current debate on the timing and the design of structural reforms in Europe.
Say on Pay Laws, Executive Compensation, CEO Pay Slice, and Firm Value Around the World
Authors: Correa Ricardo , Lel Ugur
Published: August 2019

Using a sample of about 90,000 observations from 38 countries over the 2001-2012 period, we provide three novel findings regarding say on pay (SoP) laws. First, we find robust evidence that SoP laws reduce CEO pay growth rates at firms. Second, such laws decrease the portion of total top management pay captured by CEOs. Firm values are higher following SoP laws in part because of this reduction in managerial pay inequality. Third, mandatory SoP laws only affect the CEO pay growth rates whereas advisory SoP laws influence various aspects of executive pay policies. These results are robust to instrumental variable estimation and nearest neighbor matching methods.
Sovereign Debt Crises
Authors: Correa Ricardo , Sapriza Horacio
Published: August 2019

Sovereign debt crises have been recurrent events over the past two centuries. In recent years, the timing of sovereign crises has coincided or has directly followed banking crises. The link between sovereigns and banks tightened as the contingent liability that the banking sector represents for the sovereign grew, as financial safety nets became more common. This chapter analyzes the transmission channels between sovereigns and banks, with a focus on the effect of sovereign distress on bank solvency and financing. It then highlights the notable cost to the real economy of the close connection between sovereigns and banks. Breaking the feedback loop between these two sectors should be an important policy priority.
The Decline of Drudgery and the Paradox of Hard Work
Authors: Epstein Brendan , Kimball Miles S.
Published: August 2019

We develop a theory that focuses on the general equilibrium and long-run macroeconomic consequences of trends in job utility. Given secular increases in job utility, work hours per capita can remain approximately constant over time even if the income effect of higher wages on labor supply exceeds the substitution effect. In addition, secular improvements in job utility can be substantial relative to welfare gains from ordinary technological progress. These two implications are connected by an equation flowing from optimal hours choices: improvements in job utility that have a significant effect on labor supply tend to have large welfare effects.
How Public Information Affects Asymmetrically Informed Lenders: Evidence from a Credit Registry Reform
Authors: Choudhary M. Ali , Jain Anil
Published: August 2019

We exploit exogenous variation in the amount of public information available to banks about a firm to empirically evaluate the importance of adverse selection in the credit market. A 2006 reform introduced by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) reduced the amount of public information available to Pakistani banks about a firm&amp;#x27;s creditworthiness. Prior to 2006, the SBP published credit information not only about the firm in question but also (aggregate) credit information about the firm&amp;#x27;s group (where the group was defined as the set of all firms that shared one or more director with the firm in question). After the reform, the SBP stopped providing the aggregate group-level information. We propose a model with differentially informed banks and adverse selection, which generates predictions on how this reform is expected to affect a bank&amp;#x27;s willingness to lend. The model predicts that adverse selection leads less informed banks to reduce lending compared to more informed banks. We construct a measure for the amount of information each lender has about a firm&amp;#x27;s group using the set of firm-bank lending pairs prior to the reform. We empirically show those banks with private information about a firm lent relatively more to that firm than other, less-informed banks following the reform. Remarkably, this reduction in lending by less informed banks is true even for banks that had a pre-existing relationship with the firm, suggesting that the strength of prior relationships does not eliminate the problem of imperfect information.

Osmanlı
Devleti’nin yükselişini geride bıraktığı ve çevresindeki gelişmeleri geriden takip

sorunlar giderek artmaktadır. Her toplumda olacağı gibi kargaşa hali Osmanlı
toplumunda da suç oranının artmasına neden olmuş ve günlük hayatta karşılaşılan
sorunların birçoğu güvenlik zafiyetlerine bağlı gelişmiştir. Eşkıya zümresi
kırsal kesimde yaşayan halkın para ve değerli eşyalarını aleni şekilde gasp
etmeye başlamış, mala ve toprağa haksız yere müdahale artış göstermiştir.
Hırsızlık vakaları da aynı şekilde artmış, insanlar içinde bulundukları

takasta para edecek ya da kullanılacak mahsul ve hayvanlar dahi çalınmış,
devlet bu suçlara karşı halkı caydırıcı cezalar ile tehdit etse de suç oranında
kayda değer bir azalma olmayıp aksine şikâyet defterleri her geçen gün daha da
kabaran sayfalara sahip olmuştur. Suçluları idam, kürek, sürgün ve para cezası
yıldırmaya yetmemiştir. Buna rağmen devlet her zaman adalet sistemini korumuş
ve her sahada uygulamaya çalışmış haksızlığa karşı tolerans göstermemiştir.
Daima haklının yanında olmaya ve haksızlığa uğrayan halkın kayıplarını telafi

Foucault’da İktidar, Beden ve Özne Üçlüsü
Authors: BİNGÖL Orhan
Published: August 2019

20. yüzyılın en
önemli ve özgün isimlerinden Michel Foucault (1926-1984), çağdaş sosyolojide
neredeyse direkt kendi adıyla anılan konularda çalışmıştır. Bunların başında
tıp, delilik, disiplin, cezalandırma ve cinsellik bulunmaktadır. Foucault,
hemen hemen tüm yazılarında özellikle iktidar, söylem, bilgi, dil, özne gibi
değişkenleri değişmez bir merkeze yerleştirmiştir. Foucault aynı zamanda beden
sosyolojisinin erken başlangıcı olarak da görülmektedir. Bunlara topluca bakıldığında
Foucault sosyolojisinin temel bileşenlerinden birinin, bedenler üzerinden bir
özne yaratma niyetindeki iktidarı ifşa etmek ve bunu eleştirmek olduğu
söylenebilir. Başka türlü anlatmak gerekirse Foucault’nun hayli kapsamlı ve
detaylı yazınının ana temalarından birisi iktidar, beden ve özne üçlüsünün
birbirine kenetlenmesidir. Dolayısıyla bu kısa makale, Foucault’yu böyle bir
perspektiften özetleme problemindedir.

Giriş:
Incisura
scapulae, scapula’nın margo superior’unun processus coracoideus’un tabanıyla
birleştiği yerde bulunan çentiktir. Incisura scapulae, lig.transversum scapulae
superius ile kapatılarak bir foramene dönüşür. Bu foramenden n.suprascapularis
geçer. Çentiğin şeklindeki ve boyutundaki farklılıklar suprascapular sinir
sıkışmasına sebep olabilir.Bu çalışmanın amacı incisura scapulae’nın şekil
değişikliklerini, derinliğini ve genişliğini incelemek ve sağ-sol taraflar
arasında farklılık olup olmadığını belirlemektir.

Gereç
ve Yöntem: Çalışmamızda Süleyman Demirel
Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Anatomi Anabilim Laboratuvarı’nda bulunan 18 adet
scapula incelendi. Incisura scapulae milimetrik cetvel ile fotoğraflandı ve
ölçümler Image J programı ile hesaplandı. Veriler SPSS 20 programı ile analiz
edildi. Incisura scapulae’nin derinliği ve genişliği ölçüldü. Incisura scapulae’lar
şekline ve derinliğine göre 5 gruba ayrıldı. Tip I - derin ve U şeklinde; tip
II - sığ ve U şeklinde; tip III - derin ve V şeklinde; tip IV - sığ ve V
şeklinde ve tip V - çentiği delik şeklinde olarak gruplandırıldı.

Bulgular:
Tip
I, Tip II, Tip III, Tip IV ve Tip V sırasıyla%27,7, %16,6, %11,1,
%33.3ve%11,1oranlarında bulundu. Sağ ve sol taraf incisura scapulae derinliği

MNE’s THEORY AND GLOBAL VALUE CHAINS
Authors: Rogach O.
Published: August 2019

This article analyzes a multinational enterprise (MNE) theories from the first pioneering papers of S. Hymer and the modern approaches to studying these institutions. A special focus is placed on the one of the research schools that studied the fragmentation of international production and the global value chain (GVCs) creation. In this context, various theoretical approaches to the study of modern global MNE networks are considered, the theory of trade in tasks and the macroeconomic approach to the evaluation of fragmentation effects.

The paper argues that the concepts of MNEs international production and GVCs are interlinked, although not equal. Sometimes they are used as synonyms, but they characterize the contemporary process of internationalization from different perspectives. It shows the various types of organization of global value chains, such as the horizontal and vertical integration of production. Within such networking systems of multinational enterprises there are complex hierarchical relationships between individual participants and links. Technological slicing of production into separate fragments requires MNE to use not only own equity- controlled affiliates, but also the offshore production of partner firms.
POSITIONS OF STATES OF THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION REGARDING THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS ON INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION SECURITY ISSUES WITHIN THE FRAMES OF THE UN
Authors: Ryzhkov Mykola , Siabro Anastasiia
Published: August 2019

Achievements in the sphere of automatization and telecommunication are an essential component of transformation of the international peace and security system. This article presents, that consequences of changes are of a dual character. On the one hand, new technologies are becoming an important component of society modernization strategies in developing countries, on the other hand, they can be used for armament modernization or creation of new means of confrontation in modern international relations. APR countries face the most relevant issue of information technologies usage. The article deals with the process of discussion of new challenges and threats to international security, emerging as a result of development and large-scale implementation of information-communication technologies. Positions of states regarding the adoption of resolution in the sphere of international information security were studied through examples of Japan, India, and China. It is proved in the article, that information technologies have become an important component of the security system in the world. Technologies usage may lead to steady international development as well as to information arms race. That is why working out a common position on international information security issues is of crucial importance. It is within the framework of the UN, that different states of the world are given an opportunity to express their visions of the problem of international information security and work out common approaches to its solution. The article shows, that states’ positions have similar as well as different features. For instance, all states express concern regarding possible limitation of technology transfer for the establishment of a more controlled international political environment. But states’ positions have major differences as to mechanisms of information security provision. Thus, Japan and India strive to achieve a balanced system of international information security, which should at the same time have preventive mechanisms against the emergence of threats in the information and science and technology spheres and guarantee continuation of scientific-technological development, which is a crucial component of development and modernization strategies in many countries of the world. China came forward with position of strong regulation of international information security issues and suggested framing of corresponding regulations of the states’ conduct in the cyberspace.

Bu çalışmada, DigComp çerçevesi temel alınarak, öğretmen adaylarının dijital yeterliklerini geliştirmeye ve desteklemeye yönelik bir eğitim etkinliği tasarlanmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı, verilen dijital yeterlik eğitiminin öğretmen adaylarının eğitimden önceki bilgi ve becerilerinde değişim meydana getirip getirmediği belirlemek; Bilgisayar ve Öğretim Teknolojileri Eğitimi (BÖTE) ve diğer branşlardaki öğretmen adaylarında eğitim öncesi ve eğitim sonrası durumlarının karşılaştırmaktır. Bu bağlamda, Türkiye’nin 28 farklı üniversitelerinden 30 öğretmen adayına, 6 gün boyunca toplam 51 saat, “bilgi ve veri okuryazarlığı”,  “iletişim ve işbirliği”, “dijital içerik oluşturma”, “güvenlik” ve “problem çözme” konularında dijital yeterlik eğitimi verilmiştir. Eğitimin öncesinde ve sonrasında öğretmen adaylarının dijital yeterliklerine ilişkin görüşlerini belirlemek amacıyla araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen 33 maddelik bir anket kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler non-parametrik testler ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda gerek BÖTE gerekse de diğer branşlardaki öğretmen adaylarının “bilgi ve veri okuryazarlığı”, “iletişim ve işbirliği”, “dijital içerik oluşturma”, “güvenlik” ve “problem çözme” alanlarıyla ilgili gelişim gösterdiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca BÖTE ve diğer öğretmen adaylarının eğitim öncesi ve eğitim sonrası durumları karşılaştırıldığında, eğitim öncesinde “bilgi ve veri okuryazarlığı” hariç diğer tüm alanlarda BÖTE öğretmen adayları lehine anlamlı farklar elde edilirken, eğitim sonunda BÖTE öğretmen adayları ve diğer branşlardaki öğretmen adayları arasında dijital yeterliklerine ilişkin birçok görüşte farkın olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen çalışmanın geleceğin okullarında görev yapacak öğretmen adaylarının dijital yeterlik alanlarındaki eksikliklerin belirlenmesi ve verilecek dijital yeterlik eğitimlerinde hangi konulara odaklanılması gerektiğine ilişkin alanyazına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Estudio de costo-efectividad en hipertensión arterial pulmonar Grupo 1: riociguat y sildenafil
Authors: Barajas Tarazona Jhoan , Linares Leguizamón Jessica
Published: August 2019

Introducción. En los últimos años se han desarrollado nuevas terapias para el tratamiento de la hipertensión arterial pulmonar (HAP); sin embargo, la adopción de estas conlleva un aumento considerable de los costos por parte de las entidades promotoras de salud.

Objetivo. Evaluar la costo-efectividad de riociguat versus sildenafil en monoterapia para pacientes con diagnóstico de HAP del Grupo 1 en las clases funcionales II y III.

Materiales y métodos. Se diseñó un modelo de Márkov donde todos los individuos inician en clase funcional II con alguna de las dos terapias evaluadas en monoterapia y tienen como desenlaces principales la progresión a la clase funcional IV y la muerte. Se realizó un análisis probabilístico y determinístico de sensibilidad.

Resultados. Se encontró una relación de costo-efectividad de riociguat frente a sildenafil de $529.213.933; sin embargo, en el umbral de aceptabilidad para Colombia este no es costo-efectivo.

Conclusión. Se aconseja la implementación de sildenafil como medicamento de primera línea.
Infección por Listeria monocytogenes en una mujer gestante con lupus eritematoso sistémico y síndrome HELLP
Authors: Appel Tobias Manuel , Castellanos Daniela , Uriel Montserrat , Romero Ximena
Published: August 2019

La listeriosis es una enfermedad transmitida principalmente por alimentos contaminados con Listeria monocytogenes. Se presenta con mayor frecuencia en neonatos, mayores de 65 años, mujeres gestantes y pacientes inmunosuprimidos. La infección por L. monocytogenes durante la gestación se asocia a una importante morbimortalidad materno-fetal.

Se reporta el caso de una mujer gestante de 29 años de edad con lupus eritematoso sistémico, a quien se le diagnosticó bacteriemia por L. monocytogenes. Durante la hospitalización, el cuadro clínico se complicó con hipertransaminasemia y, ante la presencia de trombocitopenia, se estableció el diagnóstico presuntivo de síndrome HELLP. El alto riesgo de morbimortalidad llevó a una finalización precoz dela gestación.

La importancia de este trabajo clínico radica en presentar la dificultad en el diagnóstico y manejo en una paciente gestante de gran complejidad con una infección relativamente frecuente que puede pasar desapercibida.
Corrosion Behavior of Rebars Embedded in Alkali-Activated and Conventional Reactive Powder Concretes
Authors: YİĞİTER Hüseyin , BEGLARIGALE Ahsanollah , AYDIN Serdar , BARADAN Bülent
Published: August 2019

The present study investigated the corrosion behavior of reinforcement bars embedded in alkali-activated (ARPC) and conventional (CRPC) reactive powder concretes. Corrosion progress in 3.5% NaCl solution, water and air environments were monitored up to 365 days. The physical and mechanical characteristics, such as water absorption, rapid chloride ion permeability, compressive and flexural strength, and corrosion characteristics, such as half cell potential and corrosion current intensity results were compared for ARPC and CRPC matrices. Even for the same mechanical performance, alkali-activated mortars were found to have a high permeable structure and an early depassivation of the rebars occurred. In the propagation stage of chloride induced corrosion, almost 13 times higher corrosion current intensity values were measured as well as earlier deterioration and cracking was observed for ARPC compared to CRPC.
INNOVATION, PROCESS CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: MEDIATING ROLE OF MARKETING PERFORMANCE (EVIDENCE FROM MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY IN INDONESIA)
Authors: Tjahjadi Bambang , Shanty Hanna Miriam , Soewarno Noorlailie
Published: August 2019

Purpose of the Study: This paper aims to investigate the mediating role of marketing performance on innovation-financial performance relationship as well as on process capital-financial performance relationship using the publicly listed manufacturing firms on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX).
Methodology: This is a quantitative research employing marketing performance as the mediation variable. A mediation research model is constructed to test the hypotheses of this research using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. A new data set is prepared which involves the publicly listed manufacturing companies on the IDX covering a period of thirteen years from 2005 to 2017.
Main Findings: The results of this research provide the following empirical evidence. Firstly, marketing performance partially mediates the relationship between innovation and financial performance. Secondly, marketing performance fully mediates the relationship between process capital and financial performance.
Conclusion: This study provides a better understanding of managers regarding the mechanism of how innovation affects financial performance via marketing performance as well as on the mechanism of how to process capital affects financial performance via marketing performance.
Application/Implication: This study implies that managers need to continuously innovate, improve manufacturing processes, and enhance marketing management to achieve better financial performance.

Published: August 2019

Asseguração é processo voluntário de verificação externa que objetiva atribuir confiabilidade e transparência às informações contidas nos Relatórios de Sustentabilidade (RS). Desse modo, esta pesquisa teve por objetivo verificar os fatores que estão associados à asseguração dos RS. A amostra deste estudo compreende as empresas listadas no índice IBrX-100 da B3 no período de 2011 a 2015. Por meio da técnica de Análise de Correspondência (Anacor) realizou-se o Teste Qui-quadrado entre as variáveis: Impacto, Ativo, Receita Líquida, ROA, ROE, Endividamento, ADR, Setor Regulado, ISE, Governança Corporativa, Auditoria e GRI e a asseguração dos RS em cada ano. E para visualizar as associações, por meio de mapas perceptuais, utilizou-se a Análise de Homogeneidade (HOMALS). De acordo com os resultados, quatro variáveis se mostraram mais associadas à asseguração dos RS em todos os anos: Setor Regulado, ISE, GRI e Auditoria.

Moral Ekonomi Perempuan Desa : Studi tentang Resiprositas Budaya dan Disiplin Bisnis Pengrajin Songket di Kecamatan Pemulutan Barat Kabupaten Ogan Ilir
Authors: Lasmiana Lasmiana
Published: August 2019

This study discusses economic morals as a result of consideration of cultural reciprocity with business ethics. The study used a qualitative descriptive research step on the economic aspects of the culture of rural songket craftsmen in Pemulutan District, Ogan Ilir Regency. From this research, an overview of the environment in the West Pemulutan Sub-district has a strong social value, so that various activities include activities that increase the prevailing system values. Songket craftsmen, participating in participating, both invited to attend, were also invited to be active in every socio-cultural agenda in the countryside. This activity certainly has an influence on the allocation of time for their business activities as craftsmen both in the production and marketing processes, thus increasing production volume, number of sales, and relations with business relations. In general songket craftsmen have understood, pondered, and let down understanding, but they prioritized togetherness as villagers. The economy of songket craftsmen has stepped on the economy of capital with a pre-capital category, while some are still part of a subsistence economy (enough to meet minimal needs). Income can be increased to a more advanced capital economy with efficiency in transportation aspects and capital control aspects consisting of materials, as well as improving managerial aspects. Activities to maintain togetherness in the countryside, and activities to seek and improve finance are actions that bring benefits so that they can improve conformity with Islamic values. Meanwhile, the economic potential of songket is very large. Furthermore, songket craft activities need to be developed more optimally so that they become part of the road to achieve greater prosperity.

With the upgrading of scientific and technological developments, it is the driving force in the utilization of technology in improving the quality of learning. With the mastery of cutting-edge technology, making the media of learning in the view of Islam, as a tool to reveal more deeply in the deepening of the material that exists in the Qur'an, because after all the existing content in the Qur'an no word runs out, the more excavated will be the wider coverage of comprehensive Qur'anic recitation. Thus, the existence of the media is as a tool to explore the sciences contained in al-quran, as has been taught by the Prophet Muhammad to his companions in conveying a good message concerning the truth or kebathilan, so that people will think what to do and which should be shunned as a prohibition, so that the learning media in Islamic view is very wide to be studied further.

Dengan pemutakhirnya perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi menjadikan pendorong dalam pemanfaatan teknologi dalam dalam peningkatan kualitas pembelajaran. Dengan penguasaan teknologi yang mutakhir, menjadikan media pembelajaran dalam pandangan Islam, sebagai alat untuk menguak lebih dalam dalam pendalaman materi yang ada dalam al-Qur’an, karena bagaimanapun kandungan yang ada dalam al-Qur’an tidak ada kata habis, semakin digali akan semakin luas cakupan pembahaal a-Qur’an secara komprehensif. Dengan demikian, keberadaan media adalah sebagai alat bantu untuk mendalami ilmu-ilmu yang terkandung dalam al-qur’an, sebagaimana telah diajarkan oleh Nabi Muhammad kepada para sahabatnya dalam menyampaikan risalah baik yang menyangkut kebenaran ataupun kebathilan, sehingga manusia akan berpikir mana yang harus dilakukan dan mana yang harus dijauhi sebagai larangan, sehingga media pembelajaran dalam pandangan Islam sangat luas untuk dikaji lebih lanjut.

Authors: Özçelik Hasan
Published: August 2019

Flora of Lakes region has not been fully worked out. Especially
Burdur and Denizli have not been fully reflected in the literature since they
have been studied less than our other vilayets. According to the results of the
study; 406 (27%) in Isparta; 370 (22 %) in Burdur; 400 (18 %) in Denizli; 429
(29%) in Konya and 468 (32%) in Antalya were understood to be natural
distribution of endemic plant taxa. The number of endemic plant taxa belonging
to 53 families is 950. 530 taxa of them spread show in the region more than
one. It is estimated that for each province will be added at least 15% more
endemic taxa to this number.

Vertical distributions of the endemic taxa: 78 taxa
(8%) between 0-500 m; 31 taxa (3%) between 500-1000 m; 91 taxa (10%) between
1000-1500 m; 59 taxa (6%) between 1500-2000 m; 29 taxa (3%) between 2000 and
2500 m; 10 taxa (1%) with 2500 m upper and 645 taxa (69%) with variable
altitudes.

Flowering months of taxa: 1-3: 5 taxa (1%); 3-6: 333 taxa
(36%); 6-9: 516 taxa (55%); 9-12: 12 taxa (2%) and unknown 44 taxa (5%).
Gymnosperms (open seeded) and ferns were identified as 4 taxa (1 %).

The IUCN threat categories of the relevant taxa are: LR
(cd) 127 taxa (13%); LR (nt) 78 taxa (8%); LR (lc) 288 taxa (30%); VU 176 taxa
(19%); CR 41 taxa (4%); DD 16 taxa (2%); EN 168 taxa (18%) and 56
non-endangered taxa (6%).

Local endemics that have economic importance in the region are Origanum
minutiflorum, Sideritis erythrantha, Ballota cristata, Dorystoechas hastata,
Rosa dumalis subsp. boissieri var. antalyensis, Muscari bourgaei,
Orchis anatolica, Liquidambar orientalis, Abies cilicica subsp. isaurica.
Attention should be paid to the protection-using balance of these taxa.
Sectoral stakeholders should be made more conscious. It should be sought the
way to receive culture the taxa.

A morte iminente de Quijano, a morte presente do governador Panza
Authors: Pedrosa Gabriel
Published: August 2019

A partir da definição que Sancho Pança dá de seu governo como "morte presente", ao abandoná-lo depois de tanto desejá-lo e buscá-lo, o artigo constrói a imagem de um tempo presente como detenção de qualquer fluxo e, no limite desse movimento, como morte da escritura. O posto de governador, preso a um sem número de códigos de conduta, converteu o objeto de suas aventuras em seu encerramento, em que o artigo vê a identidade das duas acepções de fim: como função e término. Paralelamente, também o episódio do testamento de Alonso Quijano é analisado, especialmente a retirada de cena que implica do Quixote, deixando ao lúcido e bem-comportado fidalgo de aldeia o papel de moribundo, inadequado ao delirante cavaleiro que criara. As galinhas de seu testamento permitem ver um eco da cena da preparação de Sócrates para seu envenenamento, o que contrapõe, ao finalismo de nossa cultura, o comportamento gratuito de Dom Quixote. Esse, porém, não é um tema específico do livro de Cervantes ou de seu tempo. Assim, o artigo busca construir outra imagem deste presente como tempo morto, a partir de aspectos próprios da realidade contemporânea, mas com a mesma detenção da escritura que o anterior. As formas de o cavaleiro manchego e seu escudeiro enfrentarem o tema da morte (presente ou iminente) são pensadas como modos de uma escritura de invenção, que não se atém ao corte entre funcional e disfuncional como critério de produção ou leitura.

O artigo evidencia o contexto da censura ocorrida ao jornal Folha do Norte durante a Intervenção Militar no Estado do Pará, no período de 1930-1935. Fundamentado em fontes históricas e documentais, apresentam-se as narrativas das formas de repressão realizadas à Folha do Norte, pelas quais se mostra a relação entre a censura prévia e punitiva. Isso nos possibilitou analisar, por intermédio da interpretação, a relação histórica a partir de notícias nas páginas do periódico. Destacam-se a censura realizada no governo de Magalhães Barata e a liberdade de expressão da imprensa jornalística paraense. Portanto, ao nosso escopo, o jornal revela-se uma rica e importante fonte de informação para compreensão das manifestações ocorridas no estado do Pará nesse período, junto ao redescobrimento e resgate da sua memória.
Efecto del habitat sobre la avifauna del sistema lagunar costero La Joya-Buenavista, Chiapas, México
Authors: Galicia-García Michael T. , Romero-Berny Emilio I. , Mera-Ortíz Ghelen , López-Vila Jesús M.
Published: August 2019

Los sistemas lagunares costeros proveen una fuente de alimento y refugio para una elevada diversidad de aves. Se llevó a cabo un estudio de evaluación rápida de la riqueza y abundancia de especies de aves en el sistema lagunar La Joya-Buenavista, estado de Chiapas, utilizando el conteo en transectos para obtener datos de tres hábitats (Laguna, Canal y Bocabarra) entre abril y agosto de 2017. La influencia del hábitat sobre la avifauna se evaluó mediante análisis estadístico univariado y multivariado. Se identificaron 16 órdenes, 31 familias, 58 géneros y 69 especies. Las familias mejor representadas fueron Ardeidae, Scolopacidae y Laridae. El hábitat Laguna albergó la mayor riqueza (50 spp.) y abundancia acumulada (1094 organismos), mientras que el Canal tuvo un bajo número de organismos pero con registros notables para algunas familias y especies en categoría de riesgo. En contraste, la Bocabarra presentó la menor riqueza específica y mayor abundancia de especies asociadas a la perturbación antropogénica. Los resultados muestran un efecto significativo del hábitat en la avifauna, pero sin diferencias a nivel temporal, por lo que se recomienda continuar e intensificar el muestreo a un ciclo anual y con replicas interanuales para corroborar el patrón espacial encontrado. El uso de un enfoque de hábitat en el estudio de la avifauna muestra que este grupo es un indicador potencial para el análisis de la estructura ecológica, aspecto que puede incorporarse a un plan de manejo de los ecosistemas costeros regionales.
Influence of landscape structure on the abundance of Desmodus rotundus (Geoffroy 1810) in northeastern Yucatan, Mexico

Although the transformation of landscapes by human activity can negatively affect the populations of several bat species, other species may benefit from these transformations. One of such species is the vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus, which can often be found in landscapes dominated by livestock activities. Furthermore, there are certain structural landscape characteristics that could be positively influencing the abundance of the vampire bat. To assess this possibility, eight sampling sites in northeastern Yucatan, Mexico were monitored from June 2010 to February 2012. Four sites were located in forest fragments amongst a highly fragmented landscape dominated by pastures dedicated to livestock activities, and four sites were located within continuous tropical semideciduous forest with almost no fragmentation. Forest fragmentation was characterized around the sampling sites within a 2.5 km radius using SPOT images from 2010, and five landscape variables were calculated using FRAGSTATS. The results showed that landscape heterogeneity and an agricultural aggregation index both had a significant effect on the abundance of the vampire bat. Our results showed that D. rotundusabundance in northeastern Yucatan, Mexico was favored by extensive pastures as well as by landscape characteristics associated with intense forest fragmentation. However, the presence of some remnants of forest cover probably enhance the movements and persistence of this species. To reduce the negative impact of the vampire bat presence in these areas dedicated to livestock ranching activities, effective preventive vaccination campaigns could be an important strategy.
