Breve storia di una liberazione
La Spagna alla Biennale di Venezia dal 1979 al 1999
Authors: Crespi Giulia
Published: February 2020

The essay offers a specific recollection of the participation of Spain at the Venice Biennale since 1976 to 1999. The starting date has a particular relevance both for historical and artistic reasons. 1976 coincides in fact with a democratic beginning for the Country, which has just witnessed Franco’s death. This meant the end of a long period of isolation and the recovery from years of repression and dictatorship. Through that time, artistically, Spain was not left behind, thanks to the strength of many artists who kept contact with other countries, always up to date on what was new. However, they had been forced to choose between being artist of the regime or stay hidden in an interior exile. With the Biennale edition of 1976, the special project, promoted by the institution and two of the most renowned art critics at the time, Valeriano Bozal and Tomàs Llorens, called España, Vanguardia artistica y realidad social. 1936-1976, tried to draw a critical and historical view on the Spanish artistic languages consumed and silenced by censorship. Through the 80s and the 90s Spain has experienced a renewed awareness of its internationally artistic role and that has reflected on the choices made for Venice Biennale. Although seeing the evolution of Spanish art in the last decades through the Biennale is limited and incomplete, it has an undeniable interest and relevance worth being investigated.
Retelling the History of the Mexico Pavilion at La Biennale di Venezia
Authors: Nieto Ruiz Carolina
Published: February 2020

This chapter presents a revised history of the Mexico Pavilions in La Biennale di Venezia. Official discourse on Mexican Pavilions published in the twenty-first century contain significant inconsistencies and omissions about Mexico’s twentieth century participations. These inaccuracies have been repeatedly published in the press, effectively rewriting history. I argue that a more complete historical narrative is necessary for a richer understanding of Mexico’s contribution to the international art scene. First, I examine historical inconsistencies in exhibition publications from 2007-17. Next, I construct a narrative history of the Mexico Pavilions in three stages, in accordance with their aesthetics and contexts of production: post-revolutionary (1950, 1952, 1958, 1968), rupture (1986), and transnational (2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2017, 2019). Finally, I offer some concluding remarks and suggestions for further research.
L’orientaliste Antoine Galland et la découverte des inscriptions de la cité des Viducasses en Normandie
Authors: Deniaux Elisabeth
Published: February 2020

The orientalist Antoine Galland (1646-1715) was a learned man who began a translation of the “Tales of a Thousand and One Nights” while he was based in Caen, in Normandy, and served as a secretary and librarian of the royal intendant Nicolas Foucault. His journeys to Constantinople and various parts of the Middle East, which took place between 1770 and 1788, had given him the opportunity to learn many Oriental languages and to carry out numismatic and epigraphic studies. During his stay in Normandy, he discovered Roman inscriptions from the civitas of the Viducasses, composed several commentaries on the most famous of them, the Marbre de Thorigny, and he wrote letters about them.
Monsignor Luigi Biraghi e i falsi di Cernusco
Authors: Bellomo Michele , Gazzoli Silvia
Published: February 2020

We present here some reflections on an inscription from Cernusco sul Naviglio (Milan) discovered by Monsignor Luigi Biraghi in 1849 and published by Mommsen among thefalsaeinCILV 664*. This paper stems from the discovery of some private and unpublished letters by Biraghi that we consulted at the Archive of the Quadronno Institute of the Sisters of St. Marcellina in Milan. This correspondence informs us of Biraghi’s personal and professional relationships with other mid-19th century classical scholars. The analysis of these documents will shed some light on the harsh judgment that Mommsen (along with others) expressed on Biraghi regarding some inscriptions that he had discovered in theAger Mediolanensis.
Lineamenti per una storia della critica della falsificazione epigrafica
Authors: Calvelli Lorenzo
Published: February 2020

This article offers the first comprehensive investigation of the history of scholarship related to epigraphic forgeries. Fake inscriptions were already produced in Antiquity and throughout the Middle Ages, but their number began to rise dramatically from the Renaissance onwards. By the mid-1500s, scholars became attentive of the risks of using fake sources for antiquarian purposes, while in the 17th and 18th centuries they started isolating forged or suspect texts within specific sections of their new epigraphic corpora. Tentative sets of criteria for isolating non-genuine inscriptions were first identified by Scipione Maffei around 1720, but an actual epistemology for epigraphic criticism was only developed by Theodor Mommsen and his collaborators in the mid-1800s. Since then, most corpora and critical editions have, often implicitly, followed their scientific principles. Current scholars should be well aware of them, because they can present both considerable rewards and serious shortcomings.
Falso quando?
Authors: Sartori Antonio
Published: February 2020

An altar, found at Brenna (Como) and donated to the Civic Archaeological Collections of Milan in 1875, was never taken into account by scholars because it is unintelligible. The alleged text is sharply and skilfully engraved on at least 13 lines, but is composed of only partially alphabetic signs, devoid of any logical sense. Blaming the stonecutter of incompetence is too simplistic: the text was either proposed to him with scribbled and illegible notes, or had the function of occupying a physical space with no communication purposes, in order to give authoritativeness to the monument, whose owners were already known in other ways. In both cases, it was a forgery, either not corresponding to the original intention, or visibly added as a complementary filler.

“We’re in This Together”: Bridging and Bonding Social Capital in Elementary School PTOs
Authors: Murray Brittany , Domina Thurston , Petts Amy , Renzulli Linda , Boylan Rebecca
Published: February 2020

Scholarship on the links between families and schools encompasses contradictory notions about social capital and its relation to inequality. One view holds that schools can narrow inequality by generating dense relationships among families, while others suggest that advantaged parents can use these networks to hoard opportunities. This multiple case study analyzes qualitative data from diverse North Carolina elementary schools to learn how parents build and deploy social capital. We distinguish between bonding social capital, built in dense, homogeneous networks, and bridging social capital, gained through relationships across a social distance. Our analyses suggest that bonding alone is associated with opportunity hoarding; however, when schools are committed to building both bridging and bonding social capital, they can produce more equitable and inclusive schools.

Authors: Moreno Juan S , Lépori Augusto José , Novoa Pablo , De Elias Rafael , Guglielmone Ricardo , Bono Julio O
Published: February 2020

Introducción: Los pacientes con enfermedad renal terminal (ERT) en hemodiálisis (HD) tienen una alta morbimortalidad, principalmente debido a enfermedades cardiovasculares (CV). Los biomarcadores, como la troponina T ultrasensible (TnTUS) y el antígeno carbohidrato 125 (CA125), sirven para establecer pronóstico CV y tratar adecuadamente y de manera preventiva a los pacientes con un riesgo más elevado.Materiales y Métodos: Se incluyeron pacientes con ERT y al menos tres meses de HD, midiendo en una muestra de plasma los marcadores TnTUS y CA125. Aquellos con evidencia clínica de estar cursando un síndrome coronario agudo fueron excluidos. Se realizó seguimiento por 12 meses donde se valoraron los eventos CV y las hospitalizaciones por cualquier causa.Resultados: Se incluyeron 87 pacientes de 58±15 años, 76% de sexo masculino. La mediana de TnTUS basal fue de 49 ng/l (15,3 – 214,1) encontrándose elevada en 95,4% de los pacientes. La mediana de CA125 fue 13,7 U/ml (6,1 – 52,7). Los pacientes que presentaron una MACE, tenían valores más elevados de CA125 (p<0,03) y TnTUS (p<0,001), y todos ellos presentaban un valor de TnTUS ? 69,37 ng/l.Conclusión: Los pacientes con ERT en HD tienen una prevalencia de niveles elevados de TnTUS de 95,4% y de CA125 de 10%. Los pacientes con MACE tuvieron significativamente valores más elevados de ambos marcadores, pudiendo determinar que poseen valor pronóstico en este grupo de pacientes.
Prevalence of Depressive Symptoms and Associated Psychosocial risk Factors among University Students: The Moderating and Mediating Effects of Resilience
Authors: KOKOU KPOLOU Cyrille Kossigan , Jumageldinov Askar , Park Sunyoung , Nieuviarts Nicolas , Noorishad Pari-Gole , Cénat Jude Mary
Published: February 2020

Background: Previous studies
have indicated that university students constitute a higher risk population for
mental health problems, especially for depression. Yet, there appears to be a
lack of literature addressing a such issues in France. The present study aimed to
estimate the prevalence rates of depression, its sociodemographic correlates in
French university students (FUS), and to examine whether individual resilience
resources moderated and mediated the relationship between perceived stress and
depressive symptoms.

Methods: The data were
collected through web-based questionnaires. The sample included 1435 FUS with a
mean age of 20.5 (SD = 3.38) years. Participants completed the Beck
Depression Inventory (BDI-II), the Perceived Stress Scale, the Brief Resilience
Scale, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Descriptive, multiple logistic
regression and mediation analyses were used.

Results: With respect to the
BDI-II’s cutoff scores, 20.3% and 22.8% were positive to moderate and severe
depression, respectively (43.1%). Gender and education attainment appeared as
moderate risk factors when accounting for cumulative effect of perceived stress
and individual resilience. Resilience was found to buffer and mediate partially
the perceived stress–depression relationship.

Conclusion: The prevalence of
depression was higher in FUS, as similar to those reported in

previous
studies. The amount of academic and daily stress explained this prevalence.
University students with low resilience level were more at risk. Interventions
with aim to improving resilience skills could help to mitigate the negative
effects of stress and to promote mental health in this population.
Christian Cooperation and Ministry Effectiveness: Insights and Applications from Empirical Research in Group Processes
Authors: Dunaetz David Robert
Published: February 2020

“Co-operation and the Promotion of Unity” was one the major themes addressed at Edinburgh 1910. The goal was increased cooperation among Christian organizations that would lead to greater ministry effectiveness. Five group processes are presented in light of empirical studies demonstrating their ability to increase group performance: 1) Trust (reciprocal beliefs that the one party will promote the well being of another; 2) Constructive conflict (objective consideration and evaluation of various ways of accomplishing a common goal); 3) Decision commitment (beliefs held by all parties concerning the importance of following through on group decisions); 4) Accountability (the expectation that a party may be called to justify its beliefs and actions to other parties and to accept the consequences); and 5) Group goals (beliefs held by all parties concerning desired outcomes). The application of these processes to Christian organizations desiring to grow in Christian cooperation and ministry effectiveness is discussed.

Collecting large personal networks in a representative sample of Dutch women
Authors: Stulp Gert
Published: February 2020

In this study we report on our experiences with collecting large personal network data (25 alters) from a representative sample of Dutch women. We made use of GENSI, a recently developed tool for network data collection using interactive visual elements that has been shown to reduce respondent burden. A sample of 758 women between the ages of 18 and 40 were recruited through the LISS-panel; a longitudinal online survey of Dutch men and women. Respondents were asked to name exactly 25 alters, answer sixteen questions about these alters (name interpreter questions), and assess all 300 alter-alter relations. Nearly all (97%) respondents reported on 25 alters. Non-response was minimal: 92% of respondents had no missing values, and an additional 5% had fewer then 10% missing values. Listing 25 alters took 3.5±2.2 (mean±SD) minutes, and reporting on the ties between these alters took 3.6±1.3 minutes. Answering all alter question took longest with a time of 15.2±5.3 minutes. The majority of respondents thought the questions were clear and easy to answer, and most enjoyed filling in the survey. Collecting large personal networks can mean a significant burden to respondents, but through the use of visual elements in the survey, it is clear that it can be done within reasonable time and enjoyment and without much non-response.
Self-Supervised Learning and Network Architecture Search for Domain-Adaptive Landmark Detector
Authors: tanaka kanji
Published: February 2020

Fine-tuning a deep convolutional neural network (DCN) as a place-class detector (PCD) is a direct method to realize domain-adaptive visual place recognition (VPR). Although the PCD model is effective, a PCD model requires considerable amount of class-specific training examples and class-set maintenance in long-term large-scale VPR scenarios. Therefore, we propose to employ a DCN as a landmark-class detector (LCD), which allows to distinguish exponentially large numbers of different places by combining multiple landmarks, and furthermore, allows to select a stable part of the scenes (such as buildings) as landmark classes to reduce the need for class-set maintenance. However, the following important questions remain. 1) How we should mine such training examples (landmark objects) even when we have no domain-specific object detector? 2) How we should fine-tune the architecture and parameters of the DCN to a new domain-specific landmark set? To answer these questions, we present a self-supervised landmark mining approach for collecting pseudo-labeled landmark examples, and then consider the network architecture search (NAS) on the LCD task, which has significantly larger search space than typical NAS applications such as PCD. Extensive verification experiments demonstrate the superiority of the proposed framework to previous LCD methods with hand-crafted architectures and/or non-adaptive parameters, and 90% reduction in NAS cost compared with the naive NAS implementation.
Attentional control predicts pronominalization irrespective of competing referents
Authors: Long Madeleine , Rohde Hannah , Oraa Ali Michelle , Rubio-Fernandez Paula
Published: February 2020

Two story-continuation experiments replicate a well-known effect whereby speakers use fewer pronouns to refer to the main character of a story when an additional character is present in the scene/discourse. This effect arises even when characters are different sex/gender and a pronoun would be unambiguous, a finding originally attributed to competition for attentional resources in the speaker’s representation of the discourse (Arnold & Griffin, 2007). However earlier work did not explicitly test this account. Here we investigate the role of inhibition and attention switching on referential choice across one- and two-characters scenes in 200 participants aged 19-82. Attentional capacity did not predict pronominalization differences across scenes. Instead, our results lend support to an alternative account whereby lower pronominal use in two-character scenes reflects participants’ accurate assessment that the subject is more likely to be the topic when no additional character is present.
Speakers construct reference based on listeners’ expected visual search
Authors: Jara-Ettinger Julian , Rubio-Fernandez Paula
Published: February 2020

A foundational assumption of human communication is that speakers ought to say as much as necessary, but no more. How speakers determine what is necessary in a given context, however, is unclear. In studies of referential communication, this expectation is often formalized as the idea that speakers should construct reference by selecting the shortest, sufficiently informative, description. Here we propose that reference production is, instead, a process whereby speakers adopt listeners’ perspectives to facilitate their visual search, without concern for utterance length. We show that a computational model of our proposal predicts graded acceptability judgments with quantitative accuracy, systematically outperforming brevity models. Our model also explains crosslinguistic differences in speakers’ propensity to over-specify in different visual contexts. Our findings suggest that reference production is best understood as driven by a cooperative goal to help the listener understand the intended message, rather than by an egocentric effort to minimize utterance length.
The pressure to communicate efficiently continues to shape language use later in life
Authors: Long Madeleine , Rohde Hannah , Rubio-Fernandez Paula
Published: February 2020

Language use is shaped by a pressure to communicate efficiently, yet the tendency towards redundancy is said to increase in older age. The longstanding assumption is that saying more than is necessary is inefficient and may be driven by age-related decline in inhibition (i.e. the ability to filter out irrelevant information). However, recent work proposes an alternative account of efficiency: In certain contexts, redundancy facilitates communication (e.g., when the colour or size of an object is perceptually salient and its mention aids the listener’s search). A critical question follows: Are older adults indiscriminately redundant, or do they modulate their use of redundant information to facilitate communication? We tested efficiency and cognitive capacities in 200 adults aged 19-82. Irrespective of age, adults with better attention switching skills were redundant in efficient ways, demonstrating that the pressure to communicate efficiently continues to shape language use in later life.
Analyzing phonetic data with generalized additive mixed models
Authors: Chuang Yu-Ying , Fon Janice , Baayen R. H.
Published: February 2020

This chapter provides a user's guide to analysing phonetic data with the Generalized Additive Model (GAM). We show how GAMs can be used to capture the different kinds of nonlinear effects and patterns that are ubiquitous in phonetic data. To illustrate how GAMs work, we present analyses of three datasets of Taiwan Mandarin, addressing nonlinearities in time series of experimental response times, in F0 contours, and in the geographic distribution of sociophonetic variation. By building models incrementally, we clarify the kinds of problem that arise at various stages of analysis, and show how these can be addressed within the GAM framework. In our analyses, we also show how variation between individual speakers can be accounted for.
On the sheep-goat effect as the manifestation of phase-dependent mind-matter modulation: A hypothesis
Authors: Piao Daqing
Published: February 2020

The sheep-goat effect cannot be explained without considering mind of specific states. This work speculates mind-matter interaction, as was inferred by many including Erwin Schrödinger, for entertaining analytically-flavored “phenomenological” interpretation of the sheep-goat effect. A fundamental construct of this theory is the operation of mind-matter events in a spatial-temporal-attentional domain, which reduces to the spatial-temporal domain wherein purely objective events are registered, at the vanishing of the effect of attention. Time-dependent Schrodinger’s equation is then treated as a lower-dimensional case of a higher-dimensional mind-matter-event equation elaborated in the spatial-temporal-attentional complex. The domain-coupling when modulated by the phase difference between the temporal and attentional dimensions, can enhance or inhibit the deviation of the event registration in the spatial-temporal domain from its baseline probability. The outcome is akin the sheep-goat effect.
Dispositional Greed Predicts Benign and Malicious Envy
Authors: Crusius Jan , Thierhoff Josephine , Lange Jens
Published: February 2020

Greed is an important precursor to envy. It is unclear, however, whether this link reflects only malicious envy, which involves hostile motivation towards superior others, or whether greed also predicts benign envy, which involves improvement motivation. If this is the case, the two forms of envy might connect greed to diverging psychological outcomes, such as differences in life satisfaction. The current research provides initial support for this possibility. In Study 1, participants (N = 296) responded to measures of dispositional greed and dispositional benign and malicious envy. Furthermore, after three weeks, participants were confronted with an upward comparison standard to assess state benign and malicious envy. As hypothesized, greed predicted more benign and more malicious envy. Furthermore, greed via malicious envy predicted lower life satisfaction, whereas via benign envy, it was connected to higher life satisfaction. Study 2 (N = 793) confirmed this pattern in a preregistered replication. These results underline the value of a more nuanced view on the relationship of greed and envy.

Who Says What with Whom: Using Bi-Spectral Clustering to Organize and Analyze Social Media Protest Networks
Authors: Joseph Kenneth , Gallagher Ryan J. , Welles Brooke Foucault
Published: February 2020

Social media protest networks involve many participants, from long-time activists to individuals who are engaged only in a particular protest event. We propose a new approach to studying how various communities of users participate in protest events. Our approach combines two methodological innovations. First, rather than study tweets central to one event, we collect full timelines of user activity leading up to participation in a focal event. Second, we propose bi-spectral clustering as a scalable computational method for rapidly identifying communities of users by the words (hashtags) they use. Using a large sample of tweets from users who discussed the 2016 protests in Charlotte, North Carolina following the extrajudicial killing of Keith Lamont Scott as a case study, we demonstrate how bi-spectral clustering can be applied to sort, sample, and identify ideologically and thematically coherent clusters whose members participated in the protest on Twitter. Our proposed approach provides another tool in the mixed methods scholar’s toolkit to computationally sort and cluster large-scale network data by allowing researchers to look beyond focal hashtags or keywords and situate protest messages within the broader communication context of participating users.

Human Capital Management and Work Behavior: Evidence from Nepali Life Insurance Companies
Authors: Gautam Prakash Kumar
Published: February 2020

Background: Human resource is dynamic and complex ever because of changes in local, regional and global dimensions. Managing people for optimal use of their competencies for organizational purpose has no options. Employee motivation and employee turnover is being the central issue in the modern organizations, corporate movement of competent people is being the regular corporate news in business arena. Human capital management (HCM) helps them to be satisfied and being positive to their work and the organization. It helps organization to cope with turnover challenge and deviant workplace behavior. Employee motivation, satisfaction, job burnout, turnover are being common challenges to the management. To cope with such challenges, organizations should have strategic focus on human capital management.

Objectives: This study aims to explore the situation of human capital management in Nepali insurance companies and the employee’s satisfaction from human capital management. The study also aims to examine the association between satisfaction from HCM and workplace behavior. To examine the gender influence on workplace behavior of the employees created by HCM.

Methods: This study was conducted with correlational research design. Primary data for each variable was collected from 402 employees of different seven life insurance companies having at least five years of business experience. To observe the current HCM practices, 3-Point statements were asked. Structured questionnaire with 5-Point Likert Scale was used to collect responses on satisfaction from HCM and the satisfaction towards positive workplace behavior. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and independent sample t-tests were used to examine the objectives.

Result: Results of the study revealed that Nepali insurance companies have maintained human capital management causing employee satisfaction. Employees have reported that they have positive workplace behavior. Female employees have more positive workplace behavior of employees. Employee’s satisfaction from HCM is obtained having positive relationship with workplace behavior.

Conclusion: Nepali insurance companies have satisfactory HCM effective to motivate their employees. Employee’s satisfaction leads for positive workplace behavior. There is no gender difference in satisfaction on HCM while female have more positive workplace behavior in comparison to their male counterparts.

Implications: To cope with intense competition among the competitors in Nepali insurance industry, this study provides strong evidence to focus on HCM and positive workplace behavior.
Evaluation of Taste Disturbance in Pre and Post Mastoid Surgery Patients
Authors: Manandhar Sriti , Chettri ST , Kandel DR
Published: February 2020

Background: Mastoid surgery is one of the commonest surgeries in Otolaryngology & Head & Neck department. Surgeons are less aware of preserving chorda tympani nerve (CT). Injury to the chord tympani nerve is common in middle ear surgery as the course of CT runs between ossicles and close to tympanic membrane. It makes the surgeon difficult to preserve it during the surgery. The study was done to observe frequency of taste disturbances (TD) in all patients undergoing mastoid surgery and to correlate between intra operative status of CT and type of intra operative status of CT injury with postoperative taste disturbances.

Methods: A prospective analytical study was conducted in patients who underwent mastoid surgery. The intra operative status of CT was studied, different forms of injury to the nerve were noticed and its impact on taste disturbances was assessed subjectively with questionnaire. The patients with taste disturbances were followed till twelve weeks.

Result: None of the patients had taste disturbances prior to surgery. Out of 65 patients, only 15 patients became symptomatic in second postoperative day and the taste disturbances were in the form of altered taste (26.66%), dry mouth (26.66%) and numbness (46.66%). Symptoms like altered taste and numbness were present till the eighth week of surgery and disappeared by the twelfth week except one patient in whom numbness persisted till twelfth week. The symptoms did not correlate with the intra operative status of CT. The symptoms disappeared with duration of operation and it was significant.

Conclusion: None of the patients voluntarily complained regarding taste disturbances until they were specifically asked. Only 15 patients had taste disturbances; 7 had numbness, 4 dryness of mouth and 4altered taste. The taste disturbances did not correlate with the type of intra operative status of CT. CT was not identified in 9 patients and only 3 (33.3%) became symptomatic and CT was cut with micro scissors in 26 patients but only 4 (15.38%) patients were symptomatic.

Authors: Paudel D , Bhandary S , Pokharel A , Chettri ST , Shah SP , Sah BP , Manandhar S
Published: February 2020

Background: Hearing loss is the most common sensory loss accounting for 250 million population of world out of which 16% is attributed from occupational exposure to loud noise, ranging from 7% to 21% in different parts of the world. The prevalence of noise induced hearing loss is more common among factory workers than general population. There are limited reports regarding occupational noise from developing country like Nepal.

Method: A cross sectional study was done in Dharan Industrial Area between February 2014 to May 2014. Twenty different industries operating inside the premises of industrial area were categorized into four major categories as per the nature and types, such as: Metal, Plastic, Food and Chemical based industries. Measurement of the sound was done in two phases. Pure tone audiometry of the exposed and non-exposed population was done.

Results: Total 104 workers were included from 20 different factories; out of them 80 workers were exposed to loud noise and 24 were non-exposed who acted as the control. The frequency of hearing loss among exposed population was 38.8% and it was 12.5% among non-exposed and the difference was statistically significant. In exposed population hearing loss was 7.7%, 40.5% and 60.9% in age groups of 15- 30, 31- 45 and > 46 years respectively and the difference was statistically significant. Population working longer duration had more chance of noise induced hearing loss and the difference was significant.

Conclusion: Population working in noise producing factory has high risk of developing noise induced hearing loss and the risk increases in older people and in people who works for long duration.

Authors: Parajuli Anil , Sharma Ananda Kumar , Sitaula Sanjeeta
Published: February 2020

Purpose: To evaluate the etiology and clinical presentation of cases with optic disc edema presenting to a tertiary eye center of Nepal.

Background: The etiology of optic disc edema ranges from relatively benign to potentially sight and life threatening conditions. Till date very few studies have been done on disc edema in Nepal.

Method: The authors conducted a prospective, descriptive study at B.P. Koirala Lions Center for Ophthalmic Studies (BPKLCOS), Nepal. All cases with disc edema presenting to the out patient department (OPD) from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015 were included in the study.

Results: Total 112 patients were included in the study, out of which diagnosis could be established in 99. The mean age of the patients was 32.54 ± 13.97 years with the majority being female. The most common cause of disc edema was idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) (37.5%,). Majority of the patients complained of isolated diminution of vision (38.4%). Among the eyes affected, 78.3% had best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) 6/6-6/18, 36.6% had color vision defect and 31.4% had reduced contrast sensitivity. The most common visual field defect was isolated enlarged blind spot (39.7 %).

Conclusion: IIH followed by optic neuritis (ON) are the most common causes of disc edema. Conditions with disc edema mainly affect the age group 21-40 years with females affected 2.5 times more than males.

Objective: To determine the surgical and visual outcomes of posteriorly dislocated lens fragments in the vitreous cavity in patients undergoing cataract surgery.

Methods: A total of 149 eyes of 149 patients from 2013 to 2018 were included in the study. The primary cataract surgery was performed either at the base hospital and its peripheral centres or referred from elsewhere. Pars plana vasectomy and nucleus removal was performed along with implantation of intraocular lens, wherever possible. Success was defined as best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥ 6/12 at 3 months follow up. Poor visual outcome was defined as per WHO guidelines as BCVA ≤ 3/60.

Results: Posterior capsular rupture and dislocation into vitreous cavity most frequently occurred during phaco-fragmentation in cases of phacoemulsification and during nucleus delivery in cases of small incision cataract surgery. Early vitrectomy was performed within 3 days in 36.2% of cases and within 14 days in 63.8% of cases. Successful visual outcome was achieved in 85.2% of patients at 3 months follow up after vitrectomy. Iatrogenic retinal break occurred in five patients during vitrectomyand five patients had retinal detachment. Poor visual outcome was observed in 12eyes, out of which glaucomatous optic neuropathy seen in 5 cases, cystoid or diabeticmacular edema in 4 cases and age related macular degeneration in 3 cases.

Conclusion: Posterior dislocation of lens can be successfully managed in majority of cases with vitreoretinal surgical intervention. The timing of vitrectomy whether performed early or late did not affect the visual outcome. The most important predictorof final visual acuity after PPV for retained lens fragments is a less complicated clinical course without any associated complications such as retinal detachment, cystoidmacula edema and glaucoma. Expertise of the primary cataract surgeon could not be assessed in this study, though surgeon grade with more experience is an important factor in the assessment of complications during the cataract surgery.

It seems that Indonesia has not yet found the right method in implementing procedural democracy to elect legislative and executive members directly. Every election from time to time still always leaves problems. The problem to be discussed and analyzed in this study is how the application of Law Number 7 of 2017 Article 372 concerning Voting (PSU) and analyze the social problems that arise in its implementation. The research method used in this study is the normative-empirical legal research method with the live case study research category with the research category that is the legal events that the process is ongoing. As for the source of research in the form of normative legal provisions namely Law Number 7 of 2017 Article 372 as well as technical rules made with respect to these norms. The analysis shows that the implementation of the regulations made resulted in various social problems. PSU raises new problems for voters, election organizers, and election participants. A phenomenon in the form of decreased participation rates, the potential for anxiety pressure within the community because of excessive attention from officials and candidates to the distortion of preference preferences in the implementation of the PSU. The problems that arise are then expected to be considered so that the implemented PSU becomes the most appropriate solution but can still optimally minimize social problems in the community that may arise.

The agricultural sector is important in national economic development, especially as a provider of employment and as the main source of income for rural communities. Development in the agricultural sector requires the support of all stakeholders, the government's limited role in accommodating the needs in this sector then gave birth to a concept of a collaboration called Collaborative Governance. This research was conducted in Bandung Regency, aimed at finding out the implementation of Collaborative Governance, knowing the reach of farmers to the market, knowing the marketing media used and the problems faced by farmers in accessing the market. Data in this study were collected through interviews, then analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques. The results showed the role of Â local government was very dominant and vice versa universities contributed very minimally. The reach of farmers to the market is still very low, only a small proportion of farmers have marketed their products outside the region. In marketing their agricultural products, farmers have started to utilize online media. The government is expected to assist farmers in opening market access through the use of marketing technology or by bringing farmers together with investors.

"Pseudo-Sousveillance"
Authors: Marin Kellie
Published: February 2020

This article introduces the concept of “pseudo-sousveillance” as simulated sousveillance practices created by the sensory environments of immersive technologies. To advance this concept, I analyze the virtual reality (VR) experience “Use of Force” that immerses participants within the scene of the night during which immigrant Anastasio Hernandez Rojas was beaten by border patrol officers at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. I argue that the pseudo-sousveillance practices of cellphone recording and surveillance from above enlist users to be active participants in resisting dominant surveillance practices by constructing alternative narratives about immigrant experiences, exposing the overreach of the border patrol, and revealing the limits of surveillance in immigration control. I then discuss the implications that pseudo-sousveillance has for rethinking the rhetorical power of emerging technologies and sousveillance in a surveillant age.

The large part of the Russian Federation locates in arctic and subarctic climatic zones, which determine the specificity of design, construction and operation of sewage systems of these regions. Nowadays, the most part of small Arctic towns has no wastewater treatment facilities, while the available biological treatment facilities do not work properly. An alternative way is physicochemical treatment, which is more resistant to severe climate and volley wastewater discharge than biological treatment. The paper presents the research results of total change the biological into physicochemical treatment. The main stages of such a treatment include coagulation, filtration, oxidation and two-stage filtration (mechanical and absorption). The experiments show a 90.8% decrease in the concentration of chemical oxygen and a 74% and 82.5% decrease in nitrates and ammonium.
