Theorizing Beauty Regimes: Indonesian Women Performing their Gender Ideology and Resistance through Makeup
Authors: Handajani Suzie
Published: December 2022

This article is about how Indonesian women talk about their beauty practices. They are aware how their beauty routines are often seen as banal and shallow but simultaneously essential to their gendered beings. However, this article argues that women are able to subvert the deprecating narratives of their beauty regimes into empowering ones while maintaining the same practices. Through their practices, they seem to conform to the beauty requirement in society. However, through their discourse, they present their beauty regimes with perspectives that put their free will and agency at the centre of their beauty regimes. The research used a sample of twenty-two Indonesian women aged from the mid-twenties to mid-sixties, to ask about beauty routines. Their answers are analyzed by using feminist discourse analysis to seek possibilities of subversion and empowerment. Another theoretical approach used in this research is the politics of everyday lives. The problematization of everyday practices allows for the deconstruction of ideology that perpetuates gendered norms of beauty. This research is significant because it provides a blueprint for further research on gender politics in the 21st century that focuses on everyday practices.
Transliteration of Indonesian Geographical Names into Chinese
Authors: Weifen Qin , Difei Wang
Published: December 2022

In this paper, a comparative analysis of the phonetics between Indonesian and Chinese in the geographical name conversion process is carried out to investigate the way of Chinese transliterating for Indonesian geographical names, in order to standardize Chinese proper translation for Indonesian geographical names. The author found that in general, people will translate geographical names by transliterating for specific parts of the name, and paraphrasing for generic names. Processing of vowels and consonants has different characteristics in the transliteration process, which generally according to Chinese pronunciation habits. And some geographical names are translated directly into Chinese dialects. This contains a wealth of immigrant cultural information and dialect information, which can infer the general distribution of early Chinese immigrants in Indonesian settlements, guide significance for the study of Chinese society and culture. In addition, Chinese transliterated names for Indonesian geographical names in different historical periods are subject to change.
Online Learning during the Pandemic in Indonesia: A Case Study on Digital Divide and Sociality among Students
Authors: Hidayah Sita
Published: December 2022

This paper discusses the social world of online education in Indonesia. Drawing on a qualitative study held in July to September 2021, this paper describes how students used digital technologies for both education and social connection purposes during the COVID-19 restriction policy. In contrast to the widely assumed uniformity of online education and ubiquity of information technologies, this study identifies various digital divides ranging from unequal access to and control over digital devices and the internet to the varying degrees of students’ technological skills and participation. Sociality is used as a conceptual framework to understand students’ social interactions and networks. Data was collected from online interviews and partial participant observations with high school and university students from Jakarta, Denpasar (Bali), Magelang (Central Java), Pekanbaru (Riau), and Yogyakarta. The study concludes that the digital divide in online education exacerbates existing social inequalities. Simultaneously, online education enables the construction of new forms of stratification and relationships

Preventing the Burnout Syndrome by Creating a Healthy & Healing Environment
Authors: West D. , Krcmery V. , Szydlowski S. , Ramirez B. , Costello M.
Published: December 2022

Occupational burnout is a significant global problem that has impacted clinical outcomes, patient safety, and patient-centered care across healthcare settings (World Health Organization) [WHO], 2019. The classic definition of burnout, as defined by Dr. Christina Maslach, is “a psychologic syndrome involving emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a diminished sense of personal accomplishment (Maslach & Jackson, 1982). Burnout affects cognitive, behavioral and emotional aspects of human behavior. It also interferes with how individuals process and interact with others at an individual and organizational level. Others have noted that burn-out individuals tend to focus on negative things rather than positive emotions (Bianchi & Laurent, 2015). Nurse and physician burnout was recognized before the COVID-19 pandemic as a growing problem. Evidence now suggests that more than 50% of nurses, physician assistants and physicians report syndromes of burnout. The problem has become even more pronounced when the work environment contributes stressors associated with technological advancements, EMRs, increased patient acuity, and financial cost cutting measures. It is now recognized that individuals and organizations burnout. As a public health issue, burnout and well-being are multifactorial and recognize that individuals and organizations contribute significant factors to the burnout syndrome. It appears that burnout rates are rising across specialties and settings resulting in increase of costs to individuals and organizations (National Academy of Medicine [NAM]), 2018. What is needed is a clear map to make decisions on clinical burnout. Healthcare workers (HCW) need confidential access to wellness activities, support systems and mental health consultation. A new model is needed to further refine the work-life balance and create a caring corporate culture. Healthcare leaders need to rethink how to support employees across disciplines when it comes to burnout and well-being.

Authors: Quispe Quispe Abel Eleazar , Torres Hualla Edith Annie , Puma Iquise Angelina , Rios Bobadilla Rosario Milagros , Manrique Espinoza Lisbeth Nataly , Gandarillas Espezua Daniel
Published: December 2022

Los parámetros bioquímicos sanguíneos aportan información valiosa del estado sanitario, nutricional, productivo y reproductivo del animal. En alpacas no se han investigado si los cambios ambientales repercuten sobre estos parámetros. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar los parámetros bioquímicos en la alpaca Huacaya tanto en la zona altoandina como en la costa de Tacna (Perú). Para ello se realizaron muestreos de sangre considerando el sexo de las alpacas. Los parámetros bioquímicos fueron analizados utilizando el kit Byosistems® del analizador de bioquímica automatizada A25. Para el análisis estadístico se realizó un análisis de varianza bajo un diseño factorial de 2 x 2 (zona y sexo). Se encontró una diferencia altamente significativa entre zonas para los niveles sanguíneos en glucosa, aspartato aminotransferasa (AST), fosfatasa alcalina (FA), bilirrubina total, bilirrubina directa, bilirrubina indirecta y albumina (p<0,05), en cambio, no se encontró diferencias entre sexos para la mayoría de los parámetros bioquímicos (p>0,05), a excepción para albumina (p<0,05). No se encontró interacción en ninguno de los parámetros bioquímicos evaluados. Los niveles sanguíneos de glucosa, AST, FA, bilirrubina total, bilirrubina directa, bilirrubina indirecta y albumina presentan niveles superiores en la zona altoandina que en la costa.
Investigating the accuracy of determining horizontal displacements at geodetic monitoring through the free stationing method
Authors: Gordeev V.A. , Shevshenko G.G.
Published: December 2022

The authors present the results of studying the accuracy of determining the horizontal displacements of the deformation mark through the polar method from a spot, whose position, in turn, is defined with a total station by an inverse angular serif or the same linear-angular one to the points of the reference network. The covariance matrices of the deformation mark’s coordinate vector and the surveying point for both serifs are obtained and their elements are studied both with and without taking the errors of the initial data into account. The mentioned point’s position errors obtained through the corresponding elements of the covariance matrix coincided with the control calculations performed using the known formulas of back serifs. At the same time, the value of the deformation mark’s position error is greater than the sum of those of surveying point’s and the polar serif on the deformation mark, due to the influence of errors of the initial directional angle.
Optimizing calculation, arrangement and storage of information on the mathematical basis of topographic maps for high-latitude areas
Authors: Kopylova N.S. , Uvarova Sofia Genadyevna
Published: December 2022

The authors analyze the existing methods of calculating the mathematical basis of a topographic map. The availability of the material in the high polar latitude territories of Russia is estimated (according to the information in the Federal Portal of Spatial Data). An automated procedure for calculating, constructing and storing information on the mathematical basis of a topographic map is considered. A program with a simple interface is proposed, in which the coordinates of one point are needed to calculate the mathematical basis of a topographic map, and its name is required to store and retrieve the calculated information. It can function in the MS Excel environment, the database is created in the SQL Server program. The graphical representation is implemented in the AutoCAD software. It is a convenient tool for processing geodetic information and preparing topographic, geodetic, cartographic documentation in the form of tablets and layouts of sheets of maps.
Creating highly informative rasters based on laser scanning and aerial photography data
Authors: Valkov V.A. , Vinogradov K.P. , Valkova E.O. , Mustafin M.G.
Published: December 2022

The paper is focused on scenario and terrain modeling using the results of aerial laser scanning combined with digital aerial photography. The advantages and disadvantages of these technologies are discussed in regard to the construction of large-scale topographic maps. The generalized sequence of cameral processing aerial survey data is investigated. Based on our research, we believe that developing a combined technique of presenting Lidar survey and aerial photography materials is feasible; it could simplify and speed up the operator`s (cartographer`s) work. The novelty of the research is the formation of algorithms for creating original raster images containing more information on the terrain in each section than the orthophotoplane familiar to the interested user. The criteria for the object composition of materials are worked out taking into account the specifics of the methods under consideration, variants of information combinations are formulated for broader opportunities of analyzing and interpreting the data on the territory. Various approaches to the implementation of these ideas are shown. Examples of testing developments are given.
Rethinking Ethics in International Affairs: Reshaping Civilizational Discourse
Authors: Zatari Fadi K.S.
Published: December 2022

The notion and applicability of ethics in the public sphere have become a relatively obscure matter with the prevailing incursion of political secularism. The functioning model of contemporary polity leads us to believe that ethics play no role in politics, whether at the national or international levels. Ethics is not a predominant concept in the leading international relations theories, such as realism and liberalism. Pacing these theories, for which the power struggle is a more central concept, this article argues that ethics play a significant role in politics and remains an essential element in understanding and analyzing foreign policy. Neglecting or ignoring ethics limits our appraisal and hinders us from perceiving the whole picture in analyzing international affairs. This article proposes a way forward through more responsible politics in dealing with and understanding global affairs. Responsible ethical politics means taking the best potentially ethical actions that circumstances permit at the national and international levels. This paper employs an interpretative approach with qualitative research via secondary published materials to engage the debate on ethics. In this study, the theoretical framework is the conception of al-Murūʼah (sense of honor), which presents a normative foundation for dealing with others nationally and internationally. Three sub-concepts develop from al-Murūʼah, First, al-Mu’āzarah (assistance without expecting compensation,) second, al-Miyāsrah (relieving others from discomfort or crises), and third, al-Ifḍāl generosity.
When the East Meets the West: Analysing Rached Ghannouci’s Synthesis of Democracy in Islam
Authors: Zulkarnain Fisher , Muhammad Aminu Yahaya , Sule Babayo , Abdul Sahid Asep
Published: December 2022

Democracy is being pushed aggressively on a global scale as the best and final form of government without even an alternative offered to the opposing views by the champions of the system in the 21st century. The main arguments presented by the apologies of democracy is its feasibility of providing and guaranteeing freedom of speech, liberty of choosing a leadership, accountability and transparency. However, this view is being perceived with cynicism in other parts of the world particularly the Islamic world where the absolute sovereignty and laws are referred to from a divine source. Most of the contemporary Islamic scholars are not against democracy except where its principles such as man-made laws are regarded as supreme over the Shari’ah law. But, Rached Ghannouchi, a Tunisian activist and a political leader believed that there is a perfect way to synthesise between the Western liberal democracy and Islamic governance through the side line of political Islam and the full Islamisation of democracy in practice. Ghannouchi’s combination of ideology, philosophy and activism earned him a status of an Islamic democratic philosopher in the 21st century. This study critically examined the efforts made by Ghannouchi in Islamizing democracy using a rhetorical analytical approach of linking and comparing the early Islamic philosophy on democracy and Ghannouchi’s ideas to arrive at a position of policy implication for democratic governance in the Muslim world.
Penulisan Karya Melayu Islam Klasik Abad Ke-17: Perbincangan Karya-Karya Terpilih
Authors: Abdul Malik Mohd Puaad , Abdul Hamid Faisal @ Ahmad Faisal
Published: December 2022

This article discusses the involvement of Malay ulama in the production of religious books or also known as kitab kuning, especially fiqh books in the 17th century. This century, as stated by some local historians, is the beginning of the development of classical Malay books in various fields including religion. The discussion in this article is focused on two things namely the development of writing religious books, focused on fiqh books in the 17th century, while the second case reviews two sample books that have been written in the 17th century namely (1) the Sirat al-Mustaqim and (2) the Mir'ah al-Tullab fi Tashil Ma'rifah Ahkam al-Shari'ah li Mulk al-Wahhab. From the discussion of the above, it can be concluded that the activity of writing classical Malay religious works developed along with the activity of writing in other fields including the fields of Malay literature, Sufism, Malay and Islamic history, Quran and Islamic medicine.
The Palestinian Authority after Mahmoud Abbas: Anticipation for the Future
Authors: S. Abujaber Iyad S.
Published: December 2022

The article discusses the possible scenarios in the event that the position of the President of the Palestinian Authority (PA) becomes vacant, in light of the absence of an institutional structure of the PA, legal justifications or political solutions that can be relied on, if Palestinian parties choose to resort to the democratic path, to elect a new president, or even bring a successor to the President of the PA, who enjoys popular and regional acceptance. Due to the difficulty of predicting the post-Mahmoud Abbas era, and the absence of any signs or indicators to anticipate the next stage and considering the persistence of the internal Palestinian division including that of the Fatah movement, and the emergence of new political currents, the author applies the scenario approach by presenting a set of possible scenarios, based on the available data and information discussed in some detail in the article. The article presents a theoretical and descriptive reading of the developments of the history of the PA, focusing on legal mechanisms through which the president of the PA is chosen, analyzing, and linking these mechanisms to the current reality of the PA through discussing the most important challenges facing the succession of Abbas. This is done based on the severe divisions within the Fatah movement, and its declining popularity, as well as the influence of regional and international parties. The article relies on many Arab, English, and Hebrew academic sources. It also includes interviews with a group of experts and specialists in Palestinian affairs. With the analysis of each possible scenario for the future of the PA after Abbas, the author concludes that the fourth scenario is most possible and realistic one, which suggests that Palestinians will be able to reach a consensus on a person to lead the PA after Abbas, especially since the absence of consensus could lead to more disintegration and internal fighting.
Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Istiadat Melayu Kelantan (MAIK) and Modernisation of Malay Education, 1917-1957
Authors: Abd Latif Siti Fathihah , Musa Mahani
Published: December 2022

This article examines the Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Istiadat Melayu Kelantan (MAIK) administration of Malay schools in the state of Kelantan from 1917 until the end of British colonial rule in 1957. This involvement is examined through two of its schools, the Maahad Muhammadi (Malay) for boys and Maahad Muhammadi (Malay) for girls. The establishment of MAIK Malay schools is a testament to its professed aims of looking after local welfare, which was not given any attention under British colonial rule. MAIK had faced a myriad of challenges in its administration of Malay schools, whether from within its administration or from outside, especially from Malay schools that were under British control. Based on the qualitative method that involved the perusal of primary documents such as MAIK files, MAIK annual reports, journal Pengasuh and British annual reports on Kelantan from the National Archives of Malaysia and other institutions, this study has found that the British neglect of Malay education has made MAIK indispensable as the organisation responsible for religious affairs and defending local customs in the formal education sector of the state. With this heavy responsibility, MAIK, specifically through its Malay schools, has provided both secular and religious education in schools under its jurisdiction. MAIK’s strategy and improvisations have ensured its schools’ continuity despite competition from the Malay education provided by the colonial government. Through its organisational dynamism, MAIK has enabled itself to be involved in the planning and transformation of primary education in Kelantan from 1917 until 1957.
Itqan al-Muluk bi Ta’dil as-Suluk: The Implication of Terengganu Institution 1911 Promulgation
Authors: Abd Wahab Norazilawati , Sulaiman @ Abd. Rahim Ruzaini , Mohd Noor Arba'iyah , Abdullah Mohd Firdaus , Mohamed Hassan Noraini
Published: December 2022

The concern felt by Sultan Zainal Abidin III (1881-1918) (“the Sultan”) over the entry of a British agent in Terengganu pursuant to the agreement entered into between Terengganu and Great Britain on 22 April 1910 had led to the enactment of Itqân al-Mulûk bi Ta’dîl Al-sulûk, or the Law for the Self-Government of Terengganu, on 2 November 1911. The Sultan attempted to protect Terengganu from foreign interference despite having to abide by the terms of the said agreement, which required a British agent to be stationed in Terengganu. The establishment of the said law appears to be an attempt to maintain the dominance of the local government in Terengganu’s governmental system, and this move also affected its socio-economic development throughout the stated period. The interesting element about this law is the presence of a very strong Islamic influence, which shows that the Sultan strictly adhered to the teachings of Islam during his reign in Terengganu. This study aimed to analyse the extent to which the presence of British agents in Terengganu had influenced the actions and thinking of Sultan Zainal Abidin III in enacting and establishing Itqân al-Mulûk bi Ta’dîl Al-sulûk. It also aimed to examine how far Itqân al-Mulûk bi Ta’dîl Al-sulûk played a role in empowering the political and socio-economic sectors in Terengganu during the specified period and the extent to which the teachings of Islam embedded within it were used to protect and preserve the sovereignty of Terengganu against British intervention at the time. This research adopted a qualitative method that involved the collection and analysis of data from primary sources obtained from the Terengganu State Museum and the National Archives of Malaysia, such as the Manuscript of Itqân al-Mulûk bi Ta’dîl Al-sulûk, CO 840/1 (Terengganu Administration Report, 1910-1930), CO 840/2 (Terengganu Administration Report 1931-1940), The Terengganu Secretary of State File, and the Terengganu British Advisor File. In addition, secondary sources such as journals, books, chapters of books, and magazines were also used to further reinforce the study conducted. The findings proved that the enactment of Itqân al-Mulûk bi Ta’dîl Al-sulûk managed to fortify the political system in Terengganu, which projected a very strong image of Islam. In fact, it is this strengthening of the political system which led to the development of the economy, due to the availability of stable sources of income for the Malay farmers and female entrepreneurs at the time.
Discourse on Universal Religious Values: A Contemporary Paradigm from an Islamic Transitive Perspective
Authors: Yamamah Ansari
Published: December 2022

This study discusses the reconceptualization of al-ḍarūriyyah al-khamsah in a transitive Islamic perspective. In formulation of al-ḍarūriyyah al-khamsah has not been explained who is most responsible for the efforts to maintain and protect the al-ḍarūriyyah al-khams? Is each individual? Or a certain authority in a society such as the government of a country? Likewise, is the related issue only limited to maintenance without formulating a fulfillment question?. This research is a library research whose data is extracted from written sources. The research approach used is a transitive Islamic approach that emphasizes the universality aspect of Islam and seeks to connect benefit to the reality of human life. This paper proposes the concept of al-ḍarūriyyah al-khamsah with several developments, namely protecting life (hifz al-hayat), protecting love (hifz al-Mahabbah), protecting loyalty (hifz al-wafa'), protecting dignity (hifz al-‘aradh) and protecting welfare (hifz al-Syu'un al-Ijtima'iyah).
“A Pious Tsar, Firm in Faith to Christ:” Biblical Quotes in the Narration of Kazan Campaign in Nicon Chronicle
Authors:   Moscow Pedagogical State University, Trofimova Nina V.
Published: December 2022

The article examines Biblical quotes in the narration of Kazan campaign in Nikon Chronicle. A narration about the successful campaign by Ivan IV against Kazan in 1552 is included in the Patriarchal and Obolensky manuscripts of Nikon Chronicle as a part of official code created by A.F. Adashev The Chronicle of the Beginning of the Reign of Tsar and Grand Prince Ivan Vasilyevich. In the center of narration, in accordance with the author’s plan, personality of the first Moscow tsar is put, characterized by the various methods. The most important means of creating of the image of Ivan the Terrible were the motives of Gospel parables and quotes from the books of Old and New Testaments. The biblical quotations reveal many qualities of tsar, determinated by two evangelical images that run through the entire narration: a faithful good servant who fulfills the will of God, and a good shepherd. Both the author’s narration and the speeches of characters include biblical images; documental epistles and speeches of tsar and metropolitan introduced into the work also contain them. The most of quotations are inexact, they are paraphrasesand allusions; some of them have references to the type of source, others are unmarked, but almost all are easily recognizable, because the tradition of their use in chronicles is long. Quotes reveal or confirm the thoughts of author andcharacters, serve as one of the means of creating an expressive style.
Attitude to Usury in Old Russia of the 12th Century
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Mil’kov Vladimir V.
Published: December 2022

In the article based on a large number of historical sources, the author analyzes the attitude of the Old Russian hierarchs to usury (mainly in the 12th century). Church rules on the usury sin are analyzed in detail. The Old Russian hierarchs were guided by the rules of the translated nomokanons. It was established that some hierarchs did not show rigor to eradicate the sin of lichoism (Novgorod bishop Lukа Zhidyatа, Novgorod archybishop Nifont, metropolitan Nikifor). An irreconcilable fighter against moneylenders was the Novgorod archbishop Ilya-Ioann. Hierarchs focused on different recommendations of church rules, which differed significantly from each other. This explains the paradox of difference. In 1113, an uprising broke out in Kiev against moneylenders. Riot was stopped by Vladimir Monomakh, who was called to the Grand Duke’s table. He also took measures to prevent profit at the expense of gigantic interest. In the situation of 1113, he developed the Charter on Cuts, which was included in the Russkaya Pravda (Russian Justice). However, the usury was not outlawed by Monomakh. He only limited the “great rez (cut),” alleviating the position of debtors. The most basic anti-usurious declaration was stated in Asking by Quiricus of Novgorod. Problem of usury sin did not lose relevance in subsequent years. Since the party of principled fighters against usury was small and did not win influence, sin continued to exist for centuries.
Visual Metaphors of Literary Image Spiritual Sword in the Composition of Title-page of Lazar Baranovich’s Book
Authors:   The Program Systems Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, Sukina Liudmila B.
Published: December 2022

The paper examines the symbolic meanings of visual metaphor of “sword” in an iconographic composition of title page frame of book by Lazar Baranovich Spiritual Sword (1666). This metaphor correlates with the main literary image of book interpreted by Lazar as Word of God, acting as an instrument of struggle between Good and Evil in the End Times. The plot of title page is primarily associated with the Preface to the Reader, but, moreover, it is not an accurate and complete illustration. Lazar Baranovich does not explain in detail the deep eschatological meaning of the title’s microplots. Instead, with help of the text of Preface and the visual language of engraving, he engages the reader in theological and intellectual play of images and metaphors. The symbolism of sword, based on quotations from Scripture, is complex, varied and ambivalent. But the inscriptions accompanying the images constantly emphasize that the swords present here are, first of all, metaphors of speech. They, like the harp peeping out of the back of King David, can be used to preach spiritual truth and expose verbal lies, which, like a sword, are wielded by opponents of the true faith.
Vologda’s Seventeenth Century Tale of Tsar Ivan Vasilievich, a Newly Discovered Source for the Ivan Slobodsky Chronicle
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Belov Nikita V.
Published: December 2022

The article examines the study of a previously unknown example of Vologda literature Tale of Tsar Ivan Vasilievich. The Tale came down to us as a part of chronicle-chronographic compilation of the last quarter of the 17th century, created on the basis of the Moscow list of the 2nd Edition of Russian Chronograph with the continuation. In 1716 the text of the Tale became the basis of Ivan Slobodsky’s Chronicle articles about the stay of tsar Ivan IV in Vologda during the oprichnina. The author is inclined to connect the appearance of the Tale with the activity of the Vologda Archbishop Gavriil Kichigin. The article argues in favor of the non-Vologodsky origin of compiler of the literary monument — he most likely was a visiting Moscow scribe. The Appendix publishes the text of the Vologda’s Tale and the fragment of the Patriarchal Chronicle of the 1680s, placed in the manuscript after the text of the Russian Chronograph.

Published: December 2022

This study investigated the decision of international and non-international students when it comes to remote work preference at a southern private American university located in the Southeast United States and the implications of those decisions on the US educational system, job market, and board of directors’ strategic plans. For this purpose, a database that included 3001 full-time undergraduates at this southern American university was used. A chi-square test and a logit regression were used to analyze the data. The results of the study showed that there was no significant difference between international and non-international students regarding being decided on the remote work model. This study can help US colleges and universities, educational leaders, boards of directors, policymakers, and government officials, understand the needs and preferences of both American and international students, at the undergraduate level, which is a major pillar of the US labour force. An improved understanding of the students’ Work Model Preference will help the governing boards of American colleges and universities, and various US institutions to better allocate their human, financial, and physical resources in order to attract highly qualified candidates. Organizational leaders and boards of directors know full well that colleges and universities are a major source of candidates for their businesses. Organizations that provide those candidates with the work flexibility and work-life balance they demand will increase the likelihood of their competitive advantage and success
Akulturasi Musik Gembrung Sebagai Media Komunikasi Islam
Authors: Kayyis Fithri Ajhuri  , Muchlis Daroini
Published: December 2022

Gembrung music is a traditional Islamic art that has developed a lot in Java. Its existence indicates a da'wah process in order to convey the messages of Islamic teachings in Java. The intersection of Muslim and Javanese groups creates a form of cultural acculturation, each of which represents two acculturated cultures. By using a qualitative methodology, the research focus is on literature and gembrung in Java, the aim of this study is to find the process of acculturation of the traditional Gembrung musical instrument. Where in Gembrung art it is found as a communication tool in preaching as well as a process of acculturation of music. Among them, several elements of gembrung music adopted Javanese music, including kenong and gong which were replaced with tambourines, which are musical instruments made of wood and goat skin. In addition to the form of abolition or omission, there is also musical pluralism, where one musical instrument can be accepted by another group but still places one musical instrument that represents each acculturation group. Among those that must still be included are drums as a representation of Java, and also tambourines as a representation of Islam-Arabism. What's interesting is that each musical instrument which is a cultural representation becomes the central determinant of other musical elements. The acculturation of this musical element has led to cultural acceptance by the Javanese people of the Gembrung art. Likewise, there is acceptance of Muslim groups as a representation of Islamic music.
Introducing a novel chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of nerve cancer: Silver nanoparticles green-formulated by Scrophularia striata
Authors: Zhang Zhiguo
Published: December 2022

In the present study, we tried to prepare and formulate a
chemotherapeutic drug (Silver nanoparticles in aqueous medium using
Scrophularia striata leaf extract) for the treatment of nerve cancer.
The chemical characterization tests including UV–Visible Spectroscopy
(UV-Vis), Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FT‐IR), and Field
Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE‐SEM) were used for the
characterization of silver nanoparticles. To survey the cytotoxicity and
anti-nerve cancer effects of AgNO3, S. striata aqueous extract, and
AgNPs, MTT assay was used on the nerve (Human peripheral nerve sheath
tumor (S462 and BL1391)) cancer cell lines. For investigating the
antioxidant properties of AgNO3, S. striata aqueous extract, and AgNPs,
the DPPH test was used in the presence of butylated hydroxytoluene as
the positive control. In the FE-SEM images, the silver nanoparticles
were in an average size of 36.19 nm with the spherical shape. The
results of MTT assay confirmed removing the S462 and BL1391 cell lines
after treating with low concentrations of AgNPs. AgNPs inhibited half of
the DPPH molecules in the concentration of 97 µg/mL. As mentioned, AgNPs
had significant anti-nerve cancer properties against the above cell
lines.

In this pre-registered study, we assessed the value of event-related
potentials (ERPs) as an implicit measure of individual differences in
supernatural beliefs and attitudes. Across two experiments (A and B),
two groups of participants (believers vs. non-believers) were presented
with attitude and belief statements about religious, spiritual and
control phenomena. The ERP analysis focused on the N400-effect, which is
often used as a proxy for the effortful semantic processing of
information that conflicts with one’s worldview (e.g., when believers
read atheist statements, and vice versa). At the explicit behavioral
level (i.e., button-press to agree/disagree with a statement), the two
groups of participants responded in accordance with their self-reported
beliefs. We failed, however, to find any of the hypothesized differences
on the N400-effect. Whether the absence of the expected N400-effect may
be attributed to (1) heterogeneity in believers and non-believers, (2)
design and stimulus material, and (3) choices made in the analysis, is
discussed, and improvements are suggested for future research using ERPs
as an implicit marker of supernatural belief and unbelief.

Background: Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (E/T/I), has
broadened access to life-changing pharmacotherapy for people living with
cystic fibrosis (plwCF). However, case reports suggest CFTR modulators
may induce psychiatric adverse symptoms. To systematically examine this,
we studied depression and anxiety symptoms before and after initiation
of E/T/I. Methods: Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9,
depression symptoms) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7, anxiety
symptoms) scores recorded in a clinic database were studied. Patients
who had scores collected pre- and post-E/T/I initiation were included.
Mean total score changes were calculated for each questionnaire, and
regression analyses described associations between score changes and
age, race, ethnicity, sex, CFTR mutation, and prior depression and/or
anxiety diagnoses. Secondary analyses examined the possible confounding
effects of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. Results:
Eighty-six patients were included. Mean GAD-7 and PHQ-9 total scores did
not change from pre-initiation (4.90 ± 5.31 and 4.98 ± 5.77,
respectively) to post-initiation (5.27 ± 5.59 and 4.82 ± 5.55,
respectively). Although patients (N = 40) evaluated prior to the
COVID-19 pandemic showed a significant worsening of GAD-7 scores
post-E/T/I initiation, this difference was not observed in the overall
cohort (N=92). Pre-existent anxiety, depression, or other clinical
factors did not predict an increased risk of mental health symptoms
post-E/T/I initiation. Conclusions: Treatment with E/T/I does
not lead to changes in depression or anxiety symptoms at the population
level. No clinical predictors were identified to stratify potential
risk. Overall, these findings are reassuring for clinicians and pwCF
when deciding about initiating E/T/I treatment.

Published: December 2022

Este estudo analisa a influência do uso de informações dos sistemas de controle gerencial nas habilidades de conversão de conhecimento, mediada pela folga organizacional. Para isso, uma survey foi realizada em empresas beneficiadas pela Lei do Bem, Lei n° 11.196, de 21 de novembro de 2005, no ano-base de 2015, e contou com a participação de 123 gestores dessas empresas. Essa lei concede isenções para empresas voltadas à pesquisa e desenvolvimento de inovação tecnológica. Para o teste das hipóteses, aplicou-se a técnica de modelagem de equações estruturais. Os resultados revelaram que o uso score keeping influencia positivamente a folga organizacional e as habilidades de conversão de conhecimento, enquanto que o uso abrangente influencia positivamente apenas a folga organizacional. Revelaram ainda que a folga organizacional medeia a relação entre uso abrangente e habilidades de conversão de conhecimento, enquanto que entre uso score keeping e habilidades de conversão de conhecimento não se encontrou significância ao inserir a variável mediadora. Isso sugere complementariedade dos SCG e um duplo papel no direcionamento dos objetivos e estratégias organizacionais e no monitoramento do alcance das metas. Contribui-se com os resultados conflitantes observados na literatura, apresentando novas implicações no uso dos SCG e nos efeitos da folga para facilitar a criação de conhecimento. Os achados também podem orientar as empresas na sustentação de seu negócio com a criação de conhecimento no âmbito do trabalho, definindo políticas de formação da folga organizacional em nível adequado e direcionar o uso das informações dos SCG para as suas estratégias.

O presente estudo analisou o efeito moderador dos estágios do ciclo de vida das firmas (ECV) na relação entre agressividade tributária e o nível de investimentos das empresas brasileira listadas na B3. A pesquisa descritiva, documental e com abordagem quantitativa utilizou dados trimestrais do período de 2012-2020 de 3.853 observações de 270 empresas disponíveis nas bases de dados Refinitiv e COMDINHEIRO. Os dados foram analisados através de estatística descritiva, teste de diferenças entre as médias, análise de correlação e regressão com dados em painel por meio do software Stata 16. Os resultados evidenciaram que os ECV exercem um efeito moderador na relação entre a agressividade tributária e o nível de investimentos. Observou-se que em empresas nos estágios de Crescimento e de Turbulência e Declínio, a agressividade tributária tem um efeito positivo sobre o nível de investimentos, reforçando a importância do planejamento tributário sobretudo em empresas. Os resultados foram consistentes para diferentes proxies de nível de investimentos e de agressividade tributária, inclusive, utilizando-se a carga tributária medida a partir da Demonstração do Valor Adicionado (DVA). Os achados evidenciaram que a agressividade tributária tem um efeito moderador e defasado sobre o nível de investimentos, trazendo insights importantes para contadores, gestores, auditores e assim contribuindo para discussão sobre a utilização de proxies alternativas na identificação dos efeitos da agressividade tributária no contexto brasileiro.

Este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar se as empresas não financeiras de capital aberto, na América Latina, fazem uso do reconhecimento da provisão para devedores duvidosos (PDD) para perdas associadas a risco de crédito com a finalidade de gerenciamento de resultados. Os testes empíricos tiveram por base dados anuais, de 2016 a 2019, de 333 empresas não financeiras de 6 países listadas no MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Os resultados apresentaram evidências de que as companhias não financeiras utilizaram a discricionariedade no reconhecimento das perdas de crédito para a prática do income smoothing. Constatou-se ainda que esse comportamento é mais relevante nas observações relativas ao período de vigência da IFRS 9 entre empresas que possuem volume relevante de ativos financeiros. Isso confirma as expectativas de que a adoção do modelo de perdas esperadas, instituído pela IFRS 9, aumenta a perspectiva da prática do gerenciamento de resultados por entidades não financeiras. Essas evidências empíricas contribuem para o desenvolvimento da literatura sobre gerenciamento de resultados por meio de accruals específicos nesse tipo de entidade e sobre o impacto da adoção da IFRS 9 na qualidade da informação, suprindo uma lacuna de estudos sobre instrumentos financeiros em entidades não financeiras.

State of the art formal verification is based on formal methods and its goal is proving given correctness properties. For example, a PSTM scheduler was modeled in CSP in order to prove deadlock-freeness and starvation-freeness. However, as this paper shows, using solely formal methods is not sufficient. Therefore, in this paper we propose a complete formal verification of trustworthy software, which jointly uses formal verification and formal model testing. As an example, we first test the previous CSP model of PSTM transaction scheduler by comparing the model checker PAT results with the manually derived expected results, for the given test workloads. Next, according to the results of this testing, we correct and extend the CSP model. Finally, using PAT results for the new CSP model, we analyze the performance of the PSTM online transaction scheduling algorithms from the perspective of the relative speedup.

Quality of life (QoL) is one of the major issues for cancer patients.With the advent of medical databases containing large amounts of relevant QoL information it becomes possible to train predictive QoL models by machine learning (ML) techniques. However, the training of predictive QoL models poses several challenges mostly due to data privacy concerns and missing values in patient data. In this paper, we analyze several classification and regression ML models predicting QoL indicators for breast and prostate cancer patients. Three different approaches are employed for imputing missing values, and several settings for data privacy preserving are tested. The examined ML models are trained on datasets formed from two databases containing a large number of anonymized medical records of cancer patients from Sweden. Two learning scenarios are considered: centralized and federated learning. In the centralized learning scenario all patient data coming from different data sources is collected at a central location prior to model training. On the other hand, federated learning enables collective training of machine learning models without data sharing. The results of our experimental evaluation show that the predictive power of federated models is comparable to that of centrally trained models for short-term QoL predictions, whereas for long-term periods centralized models provide more accurate QoL predictions. Furthermore, we provide insights into the quality of data preprocessing tasks (missing value imputation and differential privacy).
