Pandemic Pop-Ups and the Performance of Legality
Authors: Flynn Alexandra , Thorpe Amelia
Published: January 2022

The rapid reallocation of traffic space for walking and cycling has generated much applause, with commentators celebrating these shifts as the start of long-term change toward more liveable, sustainable and inclusive cities. However, these shift towards such pandemic pop-up infrastructures are precarious. With an emphasis on speed over process, pop-ups have invariably been deployed without oversight or engagement, and rarely involving the voices of racialized or vulnerable people. Focusing on the cities of Toronto (Canada) and Sydney (Australia), this chapter argues that the significance of pop-ups extends beyond immediate infrastructure needs in response to a pandemic, to how cities govern more generally.
Lessons from the Lockdown: Foregrounding Non-privileged Perspectives into the (Post-)COVID City Debate
Authors: Beeckmans Luce , Oosterlynck Stijn
Published: January 2022

This chapter draws spatial lessons from the lockdown experience for the post-COVID-19-city. It argues that it is predominantly a ‘white’ middleclass perspective that is prevailing, while the pandemic affected the urban population in very different ways, hitting vulnerable groups most heavily. How can the spatial needs of these vulnerable groups be taken into consideration? Although some changes like car-free streets and more walkable cities undoubtedly will result in more healthy and liveable cities, they also reconfirm a gentrification agenda that in all likelihood will not improve live for all urban dwellers equally.
Mobility Justice and Social Inequality During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Jakarta
Authors: Dillon Harya S. , Rukmana Deden
Published: January 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted Jakartans, especially those who are heavily dependent on public transportation. Based on travel behavior surveys during the pandemic and drawing upon the notion of mobility justice, this chapter examines socioeconomic inequality in access to public transportation. The fear is that 15 years of public transformation reform reducing socio-economic inequality might be lost due to the pandemic. Expected budget cuts will result in less optimal travel conditions and passengers shifting away to private modes such as motorcycle use, which will choke the already crowded city’s public spaces.
No es sequía es saqueo: Movimientos sociales por la recuperación del agua en Chile. De la protesta social a la Constituyente, autoetnografía del caso de Modatima
Authors: Rojas Vilches Natalie Sofía
Published: January 2022

La privatización del agua en Chile originada en la dictadura cívico-militar ha provocado un agotamiento del recurso hídrico en el país. Este artículo muestra la articulación del movimiento ambiental Modatima en torno a su lucha por la recuperación del agua para las comunidades y el tránsito de este desde las acciones callejeras hacia la disputa electoral institucional. Desde una autoetnografía, se evidencian las contradicciones internas y convicciones que vivieron sus participantes durante el proceso eleccionario de Convencionales que escribirán la nueva Constitución. Se concluye que la apuesta política del movimiento es inundar la institucionalidad sin abandonar la calle, e incorporar a la ciudadanía democratizando los procesos políticos.
Deep learning for the design of 3D chiral plasmonic metasurfaces
Authors: Liao Xianglai , Gui Lili , Yu Zhenming , Zhang Tian , Xu Kun
Published: January 2022

Chiral plasmonic metasurfaces are promising for enlarging the chiral
signals of biomolecules and improving the sensitivity of bio-sensing.
However, the design process of the chiral plasmonic nanostructures is
time consuming. Deep learning has been playing a key role in the
design of photonic devices with high time efficiency and good design
performance. This paper proposes a deep neural network (DNN) to
achieve forward prediction and inverse design for 3D chiral plasmonic
metasurfaces, and further improve the training speed and performance
by the transfer learning method. Once the DNNs are trained using a
part of the sampled data from the parameter space, the circular
dichroism (CD) spectra can be predicted within the time on
milliseconds (about 3.9 ms for forward network and 5.6 ms for inverse
network) with high prediction accuracy. The inverse design was
optimized by taking more spectral information into account and
extracting the critical features using the one-dimensional
convolutional kernel. The aforementioned trained network for one
handedness can accelerate the training speed and improve performance
with small datasets for the opposite handedness via the transfer
learning method. The proposed approach is instructive in the design
process of chiral plasmonic metasurfaces and could find applications
in exploring versatile complex nanophotonic devices efficiently.

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most common genetic cause of kidney failure in humans. Among the various PKD-related molecules, PKD2L1 forms cation channels, but its physiological importance is obscure. In the present study, we established a transgenic mouse line by overexpressing the dominant-negative form of the mouse PKD2L1 gene (i.e., lacking the pore-forming domain). The resulting PKD2L1del-Tg mice exhibited supraventricular premature contraction, as well as enhanced sensitivity to β-adrenergic stimulation and unstable R-R intervals in electrocardiography. During spontaneous atrial contraction, PKD2L1del-Tg atria showed enhanced sensitivity to isoproterenol, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Action potential recording revealed a shortened action potential duration in PKD2L1del-Tg atria in response to isoproterenol. These findings indicated increased adrenergic sensitivity in PKD2L1del-Tg mice, suggesting that PKD2L1 is involved in sympathetic regulation.

The SARS-CoV-2 responsible for the ongoing COVID pandemic reveals particular evolutionary dynamics and an extensive polymorphism, mainly in Spike gene. Monitoring the S gene mutations is crucial for successful controlling measures and detecting variants that can evade vaccine immunity. Even after the costs reduction resulting from the pandemic, the new generation sequencing methodologies remain unavailable to a large number of scientific groups. Therefore, to support the urgent surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 S gene, this work describes a new feasible protocol for complete nucleotide sequencing of the S gene using the Sanger technique. Such a methodology could be easily adopted by any laboratory with experience in sequencing, adding to effective surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 spreading and evolution.
Serological evaluation of patients with coronavirus disease-2019 in Daegu, South Korea
Authors: Park Sunggyun , Chang Soon Hee , Lee Jae Hee , Lee Jong Ho , Ham Ji Yeon , Kim Yu Kyung , Kim Sang-Gyung , Ryoo Nam Hee
Published: January 2022

Background

Early and accurate detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is critical to prevent spread of the infection. Understanding of the antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is insufficient, particularly in relation to those whose responses persist for more than 1 month after the onset of symptoms. We conducted a SARS-CoV-2 antibody test to identify factors affecting the serological response and to evaluate its diagnostic utility in patients with COVID-19.

Methods and finding

We collected 1,048 residual serum samples from 396 patients with COVID-19 confirmed by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2. The samples had been used for routine admission tests in six healthcare institutions in Daegu. Antibody to SARS-CoV-2 was analyzed and the cutoff index (COI) was calculated for quantitative analysis. The patients’ information was reviewed to evaluate the relationship between antibody positivity and clinical characteristics. The anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody positivity rate was 85% and the average COI was 24·3. The positivity rate and COI increased with time elapsed since symptom onset. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody persisted for at least 13 weeks after symptom onset at a high COI. There was a significant difference in anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody positivity rate between patients with and without symptoms, but not according to sex or disease course. The descending COI pattern at weeks 1 to 5 after symptom onset was significantly more frequent in patients who died than in those who recovered.

Conclusions

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody persisted for at least 13 weeks at a high COI in patients with COVID-19. A decreasing COI pattern up to fifth week may be associated with a poor prognosis of COVID-19. As new treatments and vaccines are introduced, it is important to monitor continuously the usefulness of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody assays.
Effect of methanolic extract from Capsicum annuum against the multiplication of several Babesia species and Theileria equi on in vitro cultures, and Babesia microti in mice
Authors: Rizk Mohamed Abdo , El-Sayed Shimaa Abd El-Salam , Al-Araby Mostafa , Igarashi Ikuo
Published: January 2022

Background and Aim: Piroplasmosis is a serious disease that infects animals, inflicting significant economic losses in the livestock industry and animal trade worldwide. Anti-piroplasm drugs now on the market have demonstrated host toxicity and parasite resistance. As a result, developing more effective and safer anti-piroplasm drugs becomes an urgent issue. This study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Capsicum annuum methanolic extract (CA) against the growth of Babesia bovis, Babesia divergens, Babesia caballi, and Theileria equi in vitro and against B. microti in mice.

Materials and Methods: Fluorescence-based SYBR Green I assay was used to evaluate CA's inhibitory effect in vitro and in vivo when used either as a monotherapy or combined with diminazene aceturate (DA). The hematological parameters (HCT, hemoglobin, and red blood cells counts) were determined in the blood of mice every 96 h using Celltac α MEK-6450 electronic hematology analyzer.

Results: The in vitro growth of B. bovis, B. divergens, T. equi, and B. caballi was inhibited by CA in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 values of 4.87±1.23, 44.11±8.03, 8.23±2.54, and 1.26±0.50 mg/mL, respectively. In B. microti-infected mice, a combination therapy consisting of CA and a low dose of DA showed a significant (p<0.05) inhibition of B. microti growth nearly similar to those obtained by treatment with the full dose of DA.

Conclusion: The obtained results indicate that CA might be a promising medicinal plant for treating babesiosis, especially when used with a low dose of DA.
Collaboration between doctoral researchers and patient research partners: reflections and considerations
Authors: Jones Bethan , Hunt Andrew
Published: January 2022

A key principle of working in collaboration with patient research partners (patients contributing to research projects as team members, rather than as participants) is that they should be equal partners with researchers and health professionals. This presents a challenge in doctoral research, where students are expected to own their research decisions. Consequently, efforts are required to ensure that patient partners’ involvements are not tokenistic. This case study brings together the reflections of a recently completed doctoral student and a patient partner, who was part of the doctoral supervisory team. It discusses the role that the patient partner took during the doctorate and the activities in which he was involved. Both the researcher and the patient partner reflect on their expectations and experiences of collaboration. These reflections include factors that facilitated good working practices, the process of building rapport, and the benefits each got out of their collaboration. The interactions exploring ‘the dance of academia’ (the processes that were formally part of the PhD process or the aspects of academic work that were not directly related to completing the research) required recognition. Open, ongoing communication and practical considerations to support the patient partner were key to establishing a strong working relationship, and to determining what a meaningful contribution looked like at each stage of the process. Working with a patient partner as a doctoral student adds value to the doctoral process, and it is a vital opportunity to develop good practice as a researcher.
Wyzwania okresu dorastania u osób homoseksualnych w świetle teorii rozwoju biopsychospołecznego Erika Eriksona
Authors: Bandel Jerzy , Wycisk Jowita
Published: January 2022

Classical concepts of human development elaborated in the 20th century do not take into consideration the normative development of homosexual people. On the other hand, the depathologization of homosexuality has resulted in an increase of knowledge about gays’ and lesbians’ performance and health. The process of homosexual identity formation, usually beginning in adolescence, has been recognized and well described in the field of psychology. However, this knowledge is rarely integrated with general theories of human development. The article presents the developmental challenges of adolescence and points out the limitations and possibilities of Erikson’s theory in incorporating the experiences of homosexual adolescents. The authors discuss the specific difficulties minority adolescents face growing up in a heteronormative culture and the main stages of homosexual identity formation. The article ends with a reflection on the possibility of integrating the concept of homosexual identity development with Erik Erikson’s theory of identity crisis and its potential solutions in adolescence.
Sex hormones, adiposity, and metabolic traits in men and women: a Mendelian randomisation study
Authors: Loh Nellie Y , Humphreys Edward , Karpe Fredrik , Tomlinson Jeremy W , Noordam Raymond , Christodoulides Constantinos
Published: January 2022

Objective

Epidemiological and clinical studies have highlighted important roles for sex hormones in the regulation of fat distribution and systemic metabolism. We investigated the bidirectional associations between bioavailable serum testosterone (BioT) in both sexes and oestradiol (E2) in men and adiposity and metabolic traits using Mendelian randomisation (MR).

Design and Methods

As genetic instruments for sex hormones, we selected all the genome-wide significant, independent signals from a genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in up to 425 097 European ancestry UK Biobank participants. European population-specific, summary-level data for adiposity, metabolic, and blood pressure traits were obtained from the largest publicly available GWAS. Sex-specific, two-sample MR analyses were used to estimate the associations of sex hormones with these traits and vice versa.

Results

In women, higher BioT was associated with obesity, upper-body fat distribution, and low HDL-cholesterol although, based on analyses modelling the sex hormone-binding globulin-independent effects of BioT, the last two associations might be indirect. Conversely, obesity and android fat distribution were associated with elevated serum BioT. In men, higher BioT was associated with lower hip circumference and lower fasting glucose. Reciprocally, obesity was associated with lower BioT and higher E2, while upper-body fat distribution and raised triglycerides were associated with lower E2.

Conclusions

Adipose tissue and metabolic dysfunction are associated with deranged sex hormone levels in both sexes. In women, elevated BioT might be a cause of obesity. Conversely, in men, higher BioT appears to have beneficial effects on adiposity and glucose metabolism.

La Independencia del Perú como representación en los Anales del departamento de La Libertad en la guerra de la independencia, de Nicolás Rebaza
Authors: Trujillo Coronado Isaac
Published: January 2022

En esta investigación se hace un acercamiento histórico a las representaciones de la independencia de Nicolás Rebaza a través del análisis de su único libro: Anales del Departamento de La Libertad en la guerra de la independencia, publicado póstumamente en 1898. Se toma en cuenta para ello el contexto en que lo escribió, así como a quienes iba dirigido y qué pretendía al publicarla. Se sostiene que sus representaciones de la independencia fueron de carácter regionalista y bolivariano, y que las elaboró, específicamente, desde un regionalismo liberteño que comenzó a asumir en su juventud y que fue desarrollando a través del tiempo a partir de un diálogo histórico que inició tempranamente con la memoria social trujillana de la independencia y la historia «oficial» de este proceso, sostenida desde Lima y que, posteriormente, bajo la influencia del resultado de la guerra con Chile, terminó dándole su expresión acabada en el contexto político de la posguerra, cuando se encontraba inmerso al escribir sus Anales.
Anforderungsprofil von Software wechseln
Authors: Ehrenberger Wolfgang
Published: January 2022

Es ist möglich, aus der Erfahrung, die für Software mit der Abarbeitung bestimmter Anforderungen in betrieblichen Umgebungen vorliegt, auf deren späteres Versagensverhalten in anders gearteten Einsätzen zu schließen. Hierbei spielen die Pfade, in denen die Software abläuft, eine entscheidende Rolle. Sie bilden mit den Häufigkeiten ihrer Abläufe das jeweilige Anforderungsprofil. Sind das alte und das neue Anforderungsprofil bekannt, lässt sich auf die Versagenseigenschaften in der neuen Umgebung schließen. Die Schlüsse können auch die Ungenauigkeiten in den Kenntnissen der Profile berücksichtigen. Ungenauigkeiten über das neue Profil wiegen besonders schwer. Ist dieses aber genau bekannt und liegen entsprechend umfangreiche Betriebserfahrungen vor, lässt sich die Erfüllung auch hoher Zuverlässigkeits-Anforderungen zeigen. Ergänzende deterministische Verfikationsbemühungen sind immer nötig.

Published: January 2022

Im Forschungsprojekt Agent.HyGrid wird eine verteilte Automatisierungslösung für den Einsatz in hybriden Energiesystemen implementiert. Hiermit wird dem steigenden Anteil regenerativer Erzeugung sowie der Dezentralisierung der Energieversorgung Rechnung getragen, die die Praktikabilität zentral ausgelegter Architekturen mindert. Eines der Kernelemente ist der Einsatz eines Agentensystems, dessen Individuen – die Energieagenten – die Steuerung der Systemelemente verantworten. Somit kann die Automatisierungslösung den bestehenden hohen Ansprüchen an Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit und Ausfallsicherheit gerecht werden, zugleich aber eine höhere Flexibilität als zentrale Architekturen erreichen, da die Energieagenten zur Laufzeit dynamisch koalieren können. Die Energieagenten werden hierzu mit detaillierten Modellen der zu steuernden technischen Systeme ausgestattet, wodurch sie zur simulationsbasierten Betriebsoptimierung auf lokaler Ebene befähigt werden. Durch die Integration unterschiedlicher Energieträger zu Hybridnetzen wird darüber hinaus der Weg für die synergieträchtige Kopplung der Sektoren Strom, Wärme und Verkehr geebnet.

Haupteintragungspfade von per- und polyfluorierten organischen Verbindungen (PFCs) in die Umwelt sind PFC-haltige Industrieabwässer und -abfälle sowie Feuerlöscheinsätze. Über den Wasserkreislauf werden die Verbindungen durch Pflanzen und Tiere aufgenommen und schließlich auch durch den Menschen. Zur Entfernung dieser Stoffe aus der Umwelt wurden bisher verschiedene Methoden untersucht. Adsorptionsmethoden stellen eine effektive und effiziente Methode für die Sanierung von PFC-kontaminierten Flächen dar. Die Behandlung der bisherigen PFC-Schadensfälle in Deutschland erfolgt durch die Umweltlandesämter. Während die Umweltämter Bayerns und Nordrhein-Westfalens bereits Machbarkeitsstudien für die Sanierung ihrer kontaminierten Flächen in Auftrag gegeben haben und Pilotanlagen zur Sanierung der betroffenen Flächen betreiben, wird in den aktuellen Fällen in Baden-Württemberg noch über die Höhe und Übernahme der Sanierungskosten diskutiert.
Rückstandsminimierte Kalkwasserherstellung im Wasserwerk mittels Membrankreislaufverfahren
Authors: Müller Uwe , Rhode Klaus
Published: January 2022

Für die Herstellung von Kalkwasser im Wasserwerk wurde ein Verfahren auf Basis von Membrantechnik und Kreislaufführung konzipiert und im Pilotmaßstab mit direkten Schnittstellen zur Großanlage des Wasserwerks Ebnet der bnNETZE GmbH erprobt. Das Lösewasser wird durch Umkehrosmose und mechanischer Entsäuerung aus Rohwasser gewonnen, um alle Wasserinhaltsstoffe die mit Kalk schwer lösliche Verbindungen bilden, zu entfernen. Zur Herstellung von Kalkwasser wird die aus der Mischung von Lösewasser und angeliefertem Kalk entstandene Kalkmilch durch weitere Zugabe von Lösewasser verdünnt. Aus dem Kalkwasser trennen Membranen ungelöste und unlösliche Partikel ab. Als Filtrat liegt partikelfreies Kalkwasser in konstanter Qualität vor. Schlammhaltige Wässer der Membranspülung werden recycelt, sodass keine flüssigen Rückstände anfallen. Gegenüber dem derzeitigen großtechnischen Verfahren mit Rohwasser als Lösewasser und herkömmlichen Kalkwassersättigern zur Partikelabtrennung, wurde die Menge an festen Rückständen um mehr als 80 % vermindert. Das Verfahren ist im Betrieb flexibel, gut automatisierbar und erlaubt eine kompakte Bauweise.
REASONS FOR THE CREATION OF THE ANTI-BOLSHEVIK BLOC OF NATIONS (ABN): EASTERN EUROPEAN AND UKRAINIAN DIMENSIONS
Authors:   Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University, Riy Grygoriy
Published: January 2022

The article is devoted to a relatively poorly studied page in the history of the Ukrainian diaspora, the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (ABN), an anti-communist organization of the period of the Cold War. The author identifies the reasons for the emergence and formation of the ABN, which restored its operation on April 16, 1946 in Munich. Later, almost 20 diaspora groups from Eastern Europe and Central Asia were merged into this structure. The author analyzes the reasons for the participation of Eastern European and Ukrainian diasporas in the formation of the bloc. In particular, the author analyzes the materials of already existing studies on various types of anti-communist movements. The article focuses on the fact that the Eastern European anti-communist movement represented by the ABN was primarily anti-Bolshevik and differed from other anti-communist organizations, first of all, in the idea of establishing independent national states after the disintegration of the USSR. Special attention is paid to the role of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (Bandera) – OUN(B) in the creation of the concept of joint struggle of enslaved nations. Some other similar Eastern European projects and their cooperation with the ABN, in particular, the Polish emigrant organization ―Prometheus‖ and representatives of the Russian ―White‖ movement, are also considered. The research also emphasizes that the concept of joint struggle of subjugated nations against imperial rule, which emerged in Eastern Europe at the beginning of the 19th century, lasted, respectively, until the 20th century. At the beginning of the Cold War, when anti-communism became an integrative ideology of Western countries, the ABN, led by Yaroslav Stetsko, managed to establish contacts with representatives of Asian and Latin American anti-communist organizations. This allowed them to become part of a transnational anti-communist network. The stages of formation and entry of the ABN into the transnational anti-communist network are determined. Recent researches and publications on the outlined problem are analyzed. The author bases his study on unpublished documents and materials.
FORMATION OF NATIONAL AND CULTURAL IDENTITY OF UKRAINIAN SOCIETY: MODERN CHALLENGES AND THREATS
Authors:   Research Institute of Ukrainian Studies by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, Boiko Svitlana
Published: January 2022

The article reveals the conceptual foundations of the formation of the national and cultural identity of Ukrainian society in modern conditions of conflict of languages and identities. Particular attention is paid to such a process as the erosion of national and cultural identity, which led to the creation of a certain part of the population of Ukraine's «dual identity» (Ukrainian and Soviet) with the priority of socio-economic factors. Particular attention is paid to the role of national cultural heritage in the formation of national and cultural identity, which plays a major role in the formation of identity and subjectivity of Ukrainian society and the Ukrainian state. The results of the all-Ukrainian survey «How to talk about the war in the language of culture», commissioned by the School of Political Analysis NaUKMA with the financial support of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation, are presented. The problems of overcoming the conflict of identities in the system of priorities of socio-humanitarian development of Ukraine are raised. Attention is paid to the formation of the national and cultural identity of Ukrainian society from the point of view of the national security of Ukraine. The threat of the destructive influence of the Russian factor on the humanitarian space of Ukraine is revealed, which is manifested in the fact that Ukrainian society is facing a number of humanitarian challenges and dangers, such as a threat to state sovereignty and territorial integrity, the spread of anti-Ukrainian and separatist sentiments, cultural and cultural the consequence is a crisis of national and cultural identity.
L’azione retta come mezzo di salvezza. Il De Imitatione Christi e la storia come profezia
Authors: Lacca Emanuele
Published: January 2022

This paper analyzes the theory of the right action proposed in De Imitatione Christi by its alleged author, Thomas of Kempis, through a close comparison with the earthly experience of Christ, to understand what is the right action for men, between oboedientia Dei and negotia mundi. Following these guidelines, it will be possible to reconstruct the anthropology in the background of the theology of imitatio, in order to understand how the text does not intend to suggest only a mere imitation of the experience of Christ, but also helps to establish an authentic one in its immanence, the Christian one.
Functional and radiological assessment of complex tibial plateau fractures managed with Ilizarov fixator: a study of 60 cases
Authors: Kumar Sumedh , Siddiqui Shahbaz
Published: January 2022

Background: Tibial plateau fractures represent 1% of fractures in adults. The soft tissue envelope is in jeopardy in these fractures and can be complicated by wound dehiscence and osteomyelitis. In an Ilizarov fixator, the juxta-articular wires are placed percutaneously with minimal disruption of periosteal and endosteal blood supplies, olive wires can compress the fracture lines. The aim was to analyse the results of application of Ilizarov fixator in patients with Schatzker V and VI of tibial plateau.

Methods: The study was conducted with 60 patients who sustained Schatzker V and VI type of tibial plateau fractures, of either sex, of an age of more than 18 years as a prospective observational study. 50 patients were treated with closed reduction and ligamentotaxis and 10 with mini open reduction prior to ring fixator application. They were followed up for a mean period of 15.4 months. The results were assessed in according to the criteria of Honkonen and Jarvinen (1992).

Results: All the fractures united at a mean of 13.2 weeks. 48 patients felt their knee to be fully stable and 4 patients had severe pain. All patients were able to fully extend their knee, 36 patients had a flexion of >130 degrees and in 24 ranged between 110-129 degrees. There were 40 excellent results, 12 good, 4 fair and 4 poor. 14 patients had pin tract infections which were treated by antibiotics, 4 patients required changing the pin.

Conclusions: Application of Ilizarov fixator is a useful method for early, definitive management of complex tibial plateau fractures with excellent results.
Pandemic Documents: The Case of Mobility Permits During Lockdown in Chile
Authors: Araya-Moreno Javiera
Published: January 2022

I reflect on how the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile became a question of bureaucratic knowledge and official documents. Through the analysis of COVID-19 permits, the tool implemented by the Chilean government in order to manage mobility in zones under lockdown, I focus on two features of documents: their denotational properties and their performative marginality. I argue that COVID-19 permits in Chile functioned as an “anti-document.” While they did not establish stable and meaningful connections with individuals’ daily lives, they produced a series of considerable effects on them, the most tangible of these effects probably being the detention and criminal prosecution of individuals caught on the street without the appropriate permit. In contrast with how documents participate in socio-legal configurations – being a means to an end – COVID-19 permits were central to the implementation of the confinement policy.

Industrial plants dedicated to ethanol production have a large number of interrelated processes and operations with nonlinear dynamics, requiring a process control design method considering plantwide aspects and nonlinear control techniques application, as fuzzy logic, to overcome disturbance effects on process control performance. In this work, disturbance in an ethanol process plant were investigated in order to propose a fuzzy system to improve the plantwide control and keep process productivity. The fuzzy system was set to adapt the bioreactor temperature setpoint in case of disturbances, avoiding process deregulation. The results indicated that the fuzzy system developed was able to improve plantwide process control performance and also increasing process productivity.
HERMENEUTICAL STUDY OF ΠΑΡΟΥΣΊΑ AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE TO THE 21ST CENTURY CHRISTIANS
Authors: Oyetade M. O.
Published: January 2022

The Old Testament furnishes its readers with two pictures of Christ’s coming: his coming to earth as a servant in glorious apparel and his coming to earth as a king in glorious apparel. This has brought about bewilderment both to the Jews who expected only the kingly and glorious Christ and the 21st century Christian who are being misled by some preachers and teachers of the Gospel of Christ. The objective of this paper, therefore, is to unearth two forms of Christ’s second coming: (1) a secret coming – as a thief in the night, and (2) public, universal coming, when every eye shall see him. Therefore through lexicosemantics analysis which reveals, its root-words and word-stems and the various possible semantic categories created by the human mind, this paper claims that the secret coming of Christ is what is called the rapture and the public coming is called the παρουσία. It conveys the idea that Christ’s return will be a definite and decisive action on his part. He will come himself, as surely as he came in the incarnation.
HERMENEUTIKA AL-QUR’AN PERSPEKTIF MULLĀ ṢADRĀ
Authors: Kerwanto Kerwanto
Published: January 2022

This article tries to explain Al-Quran Hermeneutics (takwil) in the perspective of Mullā Ṣadrā. The core issue discussed in this article is the presentation of three theories that form the basic foundation of Al-Qur'an hermeneutics (takwil) in the Mullā Ṣadrā’s perspective: first, the level of meaning of the Qur'an; second, his view of clear (muḥkām) and vague (mutashābihāt) verses; third, his belief in the harmony between reason and revelation. Another interesting discussion that readers will find when reading this article is an explanation of the unique characteristics of Mullā Ṣadrā's interpretation, as well as Mullā Ṣadra's criticism and moderate attitude towards the various classifications of exegetical methodologies used by the commentators. Meanwhile, in the process of applying the interpretation, he invites us to explore the esoteric meaning (bāṭin) as deeply as possible, without leaving the exoteric meaning (ẓāhir).

This article is a literature review of the Al-Amthāl fī Tafsīr Kitāb al-Munazzal about piety of Ahlulbait by analyzing Q.S Al-Insān verses 5-10. The purpose of the analysis of Ahlulbait's piety in Q.S Al-Insān verses 5-10 is to explain the characteristics of a representative figure after the Prophet Muhammad that can eliminate the notion that there is a dichotomy between individual piety and social piety. This article will talk about the meaning of Ahlulbait's piety to explain the characteristics of al-Abrār which are described in Q.S Al-Insān verses 5-10. By using the descriptive historical method, the conclusion is that the piety of Ahlulbait reflected in Q.S Al-Insān verses 5-10 produces the characteristics of al-Abrār, carrying out vows perfectly, fearing the Day of Judgment, ith'am activities carried out to all elements of society, sincere in doing everything, only hope for Allah's pleasure alone and fear Allah on the day of Judgment. These five characteristics are related to one another to form a complete piety of the figure of Ahlulbait.
