U POTRAZI ZA „KULTURNIM NACIONALIZMOM” SRPSKE POLITIČKE MISLI
Authors: Markovic Sasa , Vuckovic Zeljko
Published: May 2022

Promišljanje ove teme iritirao je tekst Isidore Sekulić pod nazivom „Kulturni nacionalizam”. On je izašao u časopisu Novi Srbin 1912. godine koji je uređivao Vasa Stajić u Somboru. Srpska nacionalna ideja i njena politička ekspresija, uoči „Velikog rata” suočavala se sa izazovima koji su uticali na njenu modifikaciju. Insistiranje na kulturnoj sadržini nacionalne ideje bio je narativ koji se na prostoru današnje Vojvodine, tada Južne Ugarske već duže vreme negovao. Aktivnost pod nazivom „knjige za narod” Matice srpske, iza koje je stajala delatnost Tihomira Ostojića imala je za cilj da edukativno oplemeni nacionalnu ideju. U tom procesu razvijao se polemički ton sa stanovištem nacionalnog romantizma koji se rukovodio emotivnim nabojem, a manje racionalnim uravnoteženjem nacionalne ideje. Sve to nam govori o vrlo dinamičkom procesu koji u istorijskim okolnostima ima upečatljive izraze ispoljavanja. Oni mogu da budu slični, ali nikako nisu identični i u tom smislu je pozivanje na analogiju bio mač sa dve oštrice koji je činio kreativnost i promišljanje ne samo manje delotvornim, već i nepoželjnim. Kulturna dimenzija nacionalne ideje je njen politički izraz koji je odgovarao konkretnoj istorijskoj epohi, ali je u pozadini imao jednu zanimljivu misao, a to je potreba za stalnim obrazovanjem i širenjem horizonta političke misli i vizije nacionalne ideje.

Published: May 2022

Las noticias se difunden libremente y con amplia disponibilidad para los usuarios de internet con mucha más facilidad que con los medios tradicionales. En estas noticias se pueden encontrar infinidad de “datos menores” ocultos que pueden suministrar valiosa información no recogida en otras fuentes de información. En este contexto, en este artículo nos ha interesado analizar y caracterizar los riesgos urbanos recogidos en prensa abierta en el contexto nacional uruguayo utilizando técnicas de minería de texto. Esta propuesta permite conformar un corpus de noticias que parte de eventos de riesgo contenidos en datos abiertos. El corpus abarca el periodo 2003- 2019 y proviene de periódicos digitales abiertos (El Eco Digital, Montevideo Portal y La Red 21). Sobre este corpus se aplican diversas técnicas de minería de texto empleando el software QDA-MinerLite y el lenguaje Python (mediante la librería Scattertext) para identificar, caracterizar y descubrir conocimiento sobre estos eventos. Los resultados obtenidos del procesamiento del corpus ayudan a enriquecer los datos abiertos existentes sobre riesgos en Uruguay, incorporando información sobre sus efectos, actores e intervenciones asociadas.

Authors: Jeswani Prof. Jaya , Bhardwaj Vedant , Jain Bhavin , Kohli Baljot Singh
Published: May 2022

Abstract: Sentiment Analysis or opinion mining in general, is the use of natural language processing, computer linguistics and related technology used to determine whether the text data is positive, neutral or negative. Hate Speech, on the other hand is abusive or threatening speech or writing that expresses prejudice, hate and / or encourages violence towards a person or a group of persons based on their race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation. With the exponential rise in the number of people making use of social media, where tons of content is posted daily, which is visibly harmless in nature, there has been a sharp rise in hate speech as well. The need and interest for identifying and detecting hate speech on such social media platforms, especially Twitter has risen significantly, as now major firms move towards development of systems which help tackle hate speech online. This project aims to cater to the need of identifying negative tweets which promote hate speech.

Published: May 2022

Abstract: A technical assessment is always conducted prior to the installation of traffic signs at crosswalks, safety lanes, or even expanding areas. In these cases, using cameras to gather local photos and then analysing them is a valuable method. This paper describes a technique for detecting and tracking four types of vehicles: automobiles, buses, trucks, and motorcyclists, by analysing video footage of road crossings. The first findings of vehicle route accounting reveal that the technique is highly promising, with good outcomes in a number of scenarios, but much more study is needed to make these systems resistant against occlusions and other unforeseen events.

Published: May 2022

Abstract: The significance of putting out a fire as soon as possible can serve to warn others about the perils of disaster and death. Common sensor fire detection systems are limited, especially in a vast location, requiring a long time to detect a fire, and are unable to work in an open environment. This study developed a fire sense approach based on visual sensitivity and colourful variables such as colour, earth filling, light, backdrop, and fire detection time to assess the likelihood of a fire. The degree of error of fire detection was calculated in this study’s test. Keywords: Fire Detection, HSV, Time Frame Selection, Alert System, Fire Alarm

Authors: Atay Hazal , Dedeoglu Bilge Eylem , Balkanci Ugur Berkay , Sadak Efekan , Gomperts Rebecca
Published: May 2022

Objective: To analyse perceived barriers to access to formal abortion
services and the demand for medical abortion in Turkey Design:
Mixed-method study Population sample: Pregnant women in Turkey who
filled the consultation survey on Women on Web website between 1 January
2013 and 12 October 2020 Method: Our dataset includes anonymized
responses of 620 women to the online consultation survey and anonymized
email correspondences of 138 women with the WoW help desk. We conducted
a cross-sectional analysis of the survey data and a content analysis of
email correspondences. Main outcome measures: Perceived barriers to
formal abortion services in Turkey Results: The surveyors listed various
reasons for requesting an abortion; while 59.68% of them mentioned that
they just cannot have a child at this point, financial constraints
(49.84%), wanting to finish school (31.77%) and being too young
(31.29%) were among the leading reasons. Several barriers to access to
formal abortion services were reported; the most frequently cited
barriers include cost (48.31%), the need to keep abortion secret from
partner or family (42.69%) and unavailability of abortion pills
(44.94%). Our qualitative analysis of women’s email correspondences has
demonstrated some additional barriers to and concerns over the formal
abortion services. These include censorship of abortion information and
misinformation, denial of care, concerns over spousal consent, cost,
abortion method, trust, and confidentiality. Conclusions: We conclude
that despite the legal framework, abortion remains difficult to access
and approach for women in Turkey due to legal barriers and concerns over
formal abortion services.

ASSESSING SOIL EROSION SUSCEPTIBILITY FOR PAST AND FUTURE SCENARIOS IN SEMI-ARID MEDITERRANEAN AGRO-ECOSYSTEMS
Authors: Busico Gianluigi , Grilli Eleonora , Carvalho Sílvia , Micol Mastrocicco , Castaldi Simona
Published: May 2022

The assessment of soil erosion rate, especially in agricultural lands,
represents a fundamental tool for land management planning in the
long-term period. In this study, the SWAT model was utilized to simulate
soil erosion within a semi-arid watershed in South Portugal. The model
was successfully calibrated and validated using real data of streamflow
and river sediment transport in four hydrometric stations. Soil erosion
susceptibility maps (historical and future) were realized to highlight
the evolution of the phenomenon through time. The historical period was
confirmed to be the worst one in terms of average soil erosion for each
land use, followed by the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs)
8.5 and 4.5 scenarios. The main differences in soil loss among the two
RCPs will be influenced by the slightly increasing trend of extreme
events which will characterize the RCP 8.5, leading to a higher maximum
value of soil erosion. Results highlighted the tendency to erosion of
Leptosols and of the agro-forestry system (“montado”), which
influenced the soil erosion susceptibility distribution of the whole
basin. The study confirmed that Leptosols are the most subject to
sediment loss due to their intrinsic characteristics, and that
“montado” and farmed systems will negatively influence soil erosion
rate if anti-erosion actions will not be adopted, stressing the need to
identify all aspects responsible for land degradation in Mediterranean
watersheds.

Testing the validity of the BARS curve for Turkey
Authors: Durucan Ayşegül
Published: May 2022

This study has two main aims: to test the validity of the BARS curve in
Turkey for the period 1974-2016 and to estimate the optimal government size
for that period and compare it with the current situation. It uses the
Autoregressive Distributed Lag bounds test and quadratic equation methods.
The empirical findings of the study confirm the validity of the BARS curve
by providing strong evidence for the existence of an inverted U-shaped
long-run relationship between government size and economic growth. Unlike
many previous studies that use a single proxy measure for government size,
this study uses all available fundamental indicators and their
sub-components. The empirical results show that for the period studied all
proxy measures of government size exceed the optimal except for total
central government budget expenditure and defence expenditure. Therefore,
decreasing the size of the government, other than for these two indicators,
will increase economic growth in the long run.
Using Economic Links between Firms to Detect Accounting Fraud
Authors: Li Chenchen , Li Ningzhong , Zhang Frank
Published: May 2022

We explore whether accounting fraud can be detected using the information of firms economically linked to a focal firm. Specifically, we examine whether customer information disclosed by a supplier firm, combined with customers’ accounting information, helps to detect the supplier’s revenue fraud. We first confirm the economic link between the supplier and customers by showing a strong positive correlation between the supplier’s sales growth and the growth rate of total customer purchases. We then introduce two variables based on customer accounting information—the discrepancy between supplier sales growth and customer purchase growth and customer excess purchases—and show that they are predictive of supplier revenue fraud. We conduct a battery of cross-sectional tests and generally find results to vary cross-sectionally in a predictable way. Finally, the out-of-sample tests indicate that adding the two variables to Dechow, Ge, Larson, and Sloan (2011) model increases fraud prediction accuracy.

Rollspelsövningar för undervisning av matematiska modeller på universitetsnivå
Authors: Westin Jonas , Svensson Johan
Published: May 2022

Matematiska modeller används i många sammanhang för att beskriva system, undersöka frågeställningar och skapa beslutsunderlag. Samtidigt ställer denna typ av matematiskt tänkande och problemformulering ofta höga krav på användarens matematiska förmågor. På kurser med inslag av matematisk modellering kan därför en del studenter ha svårt att tillgodogöra sig och förstå abstrakta matematiska modeller och deras kopplingar till den omvärld som modellerna avser att beskriva. I denna artikel beskrivs och diskuteras resultatet av ett pedagogiskt utvecklingsprojekt med syfte att utveckla och utvärdera rollspel som metod för undervisning i matematik och statistik på universitetsnivå. En slutsats från projektet är att det framförallt är studenternas reflektioner och analyser efter själva övningen som skapar en djupare förståelse för de bakomliggande koncepten och idéerna rollspelet avser att spegla genom att länka samman matematiska modeller och teorier med studenternas upplevelser från rollspelsövningen. Användning av rollspelsövningar vid undervisning i högre matematik kan både vara ett verktyg för att repetera kursinnehåll och för att sänka abstraktionsnivån. En tidig version av artikeln har presenterats vid den universitetspedagogiska konferensen vid Umeå universitet 2017.
English Abstract
Role-playing exercises for teaching mathematical models at university level
Mathematical models are used in many contexts to describe systems, analyze questions, and create basis for decision-making. The required level of mathematical thinking and problem formulation skills in these models often put a high demand on the user’s mathematical abilities. In courses with elements of mathematical modeling, some students may therefore find it difficult to understand abstract mathematical models and their connections to the real world. This article presents and discusses the results of a pedagogical development project with the aim of developing and evaluating role play as a method for teaching mathematics and statistics in higher education. After the exercise, the students’ experiences from the role play exercise are linked to the mathematical models and theories in a reflection session. A result from the project is that it is above all the students’ reflections after the exercise that create a deeper understanding of the underlying mathematical concepts. The use of roleplaying exercises in teaching higher mathematics can both be a tool for rehearsing course content, and for lowering the level of abstraction. An early draft of the article was presented at the university pedagogical conference at Umeå University in 2017.
Improvement of the Environmental Safety in the Light of Climate Agenda in the Production of Cement

Cement production is associated with the multi-stage mechanical and high-temperature processing of the raw materials. It is characterized by the high energy consumption and, along with the thermal power plants, significant emissions of the main greenhouse gas CO2 into the environment. Cement industry is the basic branch of the construction complex, which significantly effects on the environmental safety and economic development of the country. Environmental safety of the cement industry can be ensured based on the integrated approach which allows organizing the production process in such a way that it becomes possible to prevent or significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. This will predetermine high competitiveness of the enterprises in the environmentally sensitive markets. Undoubtedly, the technological modernization of the cement industry is one of the main priorities of its development. Results of the research allowed to identify two main directions for reducing the carbon level of environmental hazard in the cement production: reducing CO2 emissions during decarbonization by reducing the carbonate component in the raw mix; reducing fuel consumption by switching to a dry cement production method. The prospect of transferring cement production technology to the dry method has the number of problems associated mainly with large financial, material and time costs. Considering high natural moisture content of the feedstock, it is possible to switch to a combined production method, in which more than half of the water contained in the sludge is removed by mechanical squeezing. Thus, it is possible to reduce the costs of water removal by 10 times, and the volume of investments, compared with the construction of a dry line, by 5–8 times.

Minangkabau Language Greeting System In Creative Text Works: A Case Study on Modern Indonesian Fiction Minangkabau Local Color and Lyrics of Popular Modern Minangkabau Songs
Authors: W.S. Hasanuddin
Published: May 2022

This article contains a discussion of the Minangkabau language greetings in the text of creative work. This discussion is a case study of how the Minangkabau greeting is used in modern Indonesian fiction of the local Minangkabau color and in the text or lyrics of popular modern Minangkabau songs. The word Minangkabau greeting, especially those that are semantic in the text of creative work, is used in certain situations that are closely related to factors of narrative, ethnicity, and kinship. Several types of semantic-style greetings are found in self-names, kinship, traditional titles, educational outcomes, positions, deeds, other greetings, and figures of speech. The use of Minangkabau greeting words in the text of creative works can be viewed positively because the text of creative works has indirectly functioned as (1) the documentation system for naming systems in the Minangkabau language, (2) the maintenance and development media for intangible cultural heritage in the form of Minangkabau language greetings . The maintenance and development of this intangible cultural heritage is important in view of the advances in science and technology, as well as the opening of the globalization stream which allows the tradition of using greetings in the Minangkabau language by the successor generation due to the influence of modernization and the lifestyle of modern (urban) societies.
“Take Nothing but Photos and Leave Nothing but Footprints” (The Tale of a Rooftopper)
Authors: Kurniawan Yusuf
Published: May 2022

Urban exploration provides cultural studies researchers with a massive landscape of exploration site. Urban climbing or known as rooftopping is one of the worldwide phenomena performed by urban explorers and usually intended for social media fame. This extreme outdoor activity appeals to many young people although it is life-threatening. Previous research reveals that the number of new rooftoppers kept increasing and many rooftoppers cannot resist rooftopping despite the harsh punishments and heavy sanctions. This article examines the primary motives and principles of a professional Swiss rooftopper who has performed rooftopping for years in several countries. The data were collected through in-depth exclusive interview through WhatsApp text message, voice notes and audio call. Hermeneutics theory by Wilhelm Dilthey is employed to understand how he narrates his rooftopping experiences. Surprisingly, the study reveals that social media fame is not the primary goal but stunning cityscape photos and the ultimate freedom.

Authors: Rasyid Fathor
Published: May 2022

The purpose of the study is to examine the multifaceted reality of culture shocks experienced by Peace Corps Volunteers (PCV) during Pre-Service Training (PST) in Kediri, Indonesia and the strategies to overcome on a day to day basis. The research is descriptive in nature by semi-structured interviews and direct observation to PCV living in Kediri. The results of the research reveal that the culture shocks encountered are of three sorts: psychological, behavioral, and interpersonal communication change. Psychological change is of four kinds: using right-left hand, male-female interaction, asking personal privacy, and shake-hand. Moreover, the study also reveals three strategies to cope with culture shocks. They are self-confidence and optimism, accepting a new culture, and social support. It may be difficult to PCV to accept all differences with pleasure. However, a tolerant attitude and an open mind make them better to communicate with Community Liaison (CL). Eventually, by other people’s assistance, the PCV were able to encounter the culture shock.

This study aimed to describe the details and the meaning of the makeup, hair styling, clothing, and accessories for Banjar brides. This study was also to describe the Islamic values in the bridal makeup and its potential to be used as character education. This qualitative research used John Fiske's critical ethnographic and semiotic approaches in three areas of study namely signs, codes, and cultures. Data were collected by using interview, observation, and documentation and processed using coding technique. Results showed that Banjar bridal makeup ornaments were in the form of flora, fauna, nature, and geometric. The ornaments described women who were faithful, devout, hardworking, tenacious, patient, humble, and self-respect. Islamic values were manifested in the relationship between humans and God namely faith, Islam, and ihsan (generosity). Human relationship was manifested in a form of social status and kinship. Human-nature relationship was in a form of harmony as well as in a form of noble self-attitude and tough mentality. This make-up could be developed into a media of character education for the bride and groom to create a happily faith-based family.

This paper aims to identify the constructions of Left Dislocation (=LD) in spoken and written Indonesian. The constituents of LD fill their alternative positions within the core clause with the form of ‘-nya’ in Indonesian syntax. The Left Dislocation of ‘-nya’ is classified as the Clitic-type Left Dislocation. A coreferential copy of '-nya' is presented grammatically without variation, and this clitic presents a metonymic link between the referents of LD constructions. This study found that there is strong connectivity in Indonesian between the dislocated constituent and the core clause. LD in Indonesian allows a higher degree of Topic-prominence than other languages which were classified typologically as Subject-prominent languages. In the light of this Topic-prominence in Indonesian in the LD structures, this paper revises the relation between Topicalization and LD. The phenomenon of Topicalization is proposed to be merged within the notion of LD and be explained as Zero-type LD. It is concluded that the LD structures in Indonesian represent Topic-prominence features to classify Indonesian as the language that is both Subject-prominent and Topic-prominent.

The history of Malacca as a port city has brought together the acculturation of cultures from various ethnicities. Thus, this is influencing the current image of Malacca and being dubbed The World Heritage City by UNESCO. This study aims to read the identity of the Malacca region represented through artifacts, archival management, archives stored in information institutions and building sites. The role of traditional institutions, the archival institution of the Malacca State Archives (ANM) and the Perbadanan Muzium Melaka (Perzim) in shaping a culture of memory through documentation work and archives management has a major impact on strengthening the identity of the Malacca region as an area with rich cultural values and historical narratives that surround it.

Published: May 2022

Translating legal texts is considered as the most difficult translation task as it needs accurate and correct translation, and even minor errors can result in lawsuits and legal exposure. This paper aims at finding out the translation problems and formulating the strategies best applicable in translating legal texts from bahasa Indonesia into English. This is a descriptive study using a document analysis as the method. The data were 15 legal texts having been translated from bahasa Indonesia into English by semi-professional translators. In analysing the data, the document analysis was carried out by skimming, reading, and interpreting the translated legal texts. The results of data analysis reveal three general problems in translating legal texts done by the semi-professional translators, including finding the right equivalent, translator’s insufficient knowledge of English legal language and source text decoding. To overcome such problems, four strategies are proposed: (i) utilizing online resources, (ii) finding the proposition of the legal sentence, (iii) using a description technique, and (iv) employing functional approach to translation. It is concluded that translating legal texts requires translator’s good knowledge of applicable laws and language competence in both the source language and target language.

Authors: Rasiah Rasiah , Bilu La Bilu
Published: May 2022

This study investigates images of black (and white) characters in contemporary American slavery-themed novel written by white authors, focusing on two novels, Property (2003) and Rhett Butler’s People (2007). The theoretical hegemony of Gramsci is utilized to suggest that if the slavery-themed novel is still rewritten in the era of twenty-first century, it should have a new insight about racism and should be also understood. Three points that revealed by this article dealing with hegemonic discourse on both novels; the representation of black beauty, black behavior, and the relation of black-white attested that the white supremacy is still sustained in the USA. The change of the story composition is there, but the racist ideology kept existed in the subtle way.
Feminist Discussions on The Remembrance of Earth’s Past Trilogy
Authors: Wang Aiqing
Published: May 2022

As the first Asian Hugo Award laureate, Liu Cixin is an illustrious science-fiction writer in China, whose chef-d’oeuvre is an award-winning trilogy entitled Remembrance of Earth’s Past, or more widely renowned by the title of its first volume, viz. The Three-Body Problem. The series not only features intercivilisational belligerence via a fecundity of imagination and richness of imagery-evoking representation, but also manifests humanity and benevolence, so it has attained a loyal readership and commercial success. Notwithstanding critical acclamation, this male-authored trilogy encounters contentiousness concerning gender discrimination. I propound that the Remembrance of Earth’s Past series does not exhibit sexism, though there are depictions with gender stereotypes.

Tecnología y tiempo en procesos AECO

For architects who graduated in 1990 and before, the fourth dimension necessarily meant involving the concept of “time”, it established “walking through” the buildings, “living the space”. Le Corbusier proposed “faire la promenade”, that is, to create walks through the architectural work as one of the objectives that designers should consider. In the case of BIM Building Information Modeling, 4D is in my opinion understood in very different ways, it should be mentioned that obviously the methodology has evolved and will continue to do so, it is a dynamic methodology and as such there will be concepts that acquire a new meaning or that adapt to other contexts. The concept of temporality is becoming more and more important in different processes not only related to BIM, but it is not exclusive to 4D, it is a factor present during the whole process, from 1D, 2D, 3D…xD. The methodology is neither linear nor consecutive, the scopes, the objectives and therefore the activities to be performed are largely determined by the client. Technology plays a fascinating role, allowing to “visualize” concepts that do not yet exist physically -virtuality-, but also developing models and techniques to try to understand aspect of the past.
