Reformasi zakat pertanian (Studi di dusun Jeblok desa Brudu kecamatan Sumobito kabupaten Jombang)
Authors: Thohari Ilham , Makmun Moh.
Published: March 2020

This research was motivated by the reveal of the phenomenon in Jeblok, Brudu Village, Sumobito District, Jombang Regency. In this village, the people object to the level of agricultural zakah that has to pay regarding the high costs of cultivating rice fields. It is interesting phenomenon whereas this village has a wide agriculture land for about 47, 48 acres. This was field research by using descriptive-analytic methods. This type of research was qualitative by applying a comparative approach between the case approach and the conceptual approach and the Maqashid Shari'ah approach. The results showed that the potential of agricultural zakat in Jeblok, Brudu Village, Sumobito District, Jombang Regency is very large. However, farmers argue about levels of agricultural zakah that must be paid. They feel that 5% and 10% are too burdensome because of the high cost of processing rice fields. Therefore, the people demand equal tariff between agriculture zakah level and trade zakah because both require capital to manage. In this case Islamic law is sociological-anthropocentric which is very concerned with aspects of the application of law within the scope of society. In general, the nature of Islamic law is elastic and not rigid, so that tariffs or levels of agricultural zakat which are very expensive (5% or 10%) can be changed to be more affordable for the community. Therefore, through the maqashid shari'ah approach, the level of agriculture zakah can be set into 2.5% following the level of zakah trade after deducting the cost of cultivating rice fields.
Aplikasi teori sadd al-dzarī‘ah dan fatḥ al-dzarī‘ah ke dalam peraturan TIPIKOR di Indonesia
Authors: Rullah Nasrullah
Published: March 2020

The starting point of use between sadd and fatḥ is al-dzarī‘ah. In Madhab Mālik and Ḥanbālī, al-dzarī‘ah is prohibited and recommended. Al-Qarafī of Madhab Mālik and Ibn al-Qayyim of Madhab Hanbalī mention al-dzarī‘ah sometimes forbidden (called sadd al-dzarī‘ah) and are sometimes told (called fatḥ al-dzarī‘ah). In the study of fiqh jināyah (Islamic criminal law), the theory of sadd al-dzarī'ah and fatḥ al-dzarī'ahis still open to its development space, given the many ways in which criminal acts are carried out, such as corruption in Indonesia which has been rooted among officials. While the eradication is not maximal and requires a comprehensive set of regulations, so that various gaps in corruption in Indonesia can be indicated and all forms of disobedience to the state and people's welfare can be overcome because they contain greater values of maslahah. The two theories of Islamic criminal law, especially regarding sanctions for corruption, can be made possible in the law of eradicating corruption in Indonesia, thus creating anti-corruption laws in a stronger law enforcement process.

Published: March 2020

This study aims to assess the relationship between entrepreneurial guidance and cost practices in hotels. The material to carry out descriptive and relational research with a quantitative approach was a self-administered questionnaire answered by hotel managers in 16 cities in the South region of Brazil. The data collected were analyzed using ANOVA and Spearman's correlation analysis. The results of this study showed that hotels that adopt the activity-based costing method and form the price considering market values ​​are the ones that have the highest entrepreneurial orientation, respectively. Among the practical implications, the results can assist in management decision-making. At the same time, when working with the formation of the daily rate, it is found that the hotels that carry out pricing based on market values ​​are the ones that have the best cost practices. The study has originality, as it demonstrates a conservative attitude in hotels regarding risk-taking.
Medya Çalışmalarında Geriye Dönük Yeniden Okumalar: (Deleuze Sonrası) Kant ve Film
Authors: ÖZDOYRAN Güven
Published: March 2020

Hareketli görüntü
olarak filmin “ne” olduğunu ve/veya ne anlama geldiğini açıklamaya yönelik
argümanlar genel olarak iki hat üzerinden açmaza girerler. Bunlardan ilkinde,
film, kendisini teknik olarak üreten sinematik apparatus’a hapsedilir. Bu
anlamıyla film, insanın zihinsel algı mekanizmasının “mimetik-mekanik tekrarı”
olarak kavranır ve bu “taklit” ilişkisini aşamaz. İzleyiciyi merkezine alan
ikinci paradigmada ise, film ve film izleme deneyimi neredeyse bir patolojiye
işaret eden “voyeristik” ilişkiye indirgenir. Öte yandan Deleuze yeni bir tür
“film teorisi” inşa ederken söz konusu iki yönelimi bütünüyle dışlayan ve filme
yönelik çok daha “üretken” bir okumaya girişir. Böylece, “bir filmden neden
keyif aldığımız” sorusunun cevabını “olumsuz” olmayan bir biçimde verme
imkanına da sahip oluruz. Hareketli görüntü olarak film, hem içinde var olduğu
-ya da “salındığı”-, hem de kendisinin ürettiği “zaman” bağlamında muamma bir
entite olarak zihinlere sirayet etmeye aralıksız olarak devam eder. Bu
makalenin temel iddia ise, film fenomenini ve filme içkin bu türden eşsiz bir
“zaman” kavramını veya “zamansallığı” kavrama çabasında, Kant’ın estetik
kuramının okuyucuya yeni bir alan açabileceğine yöneliktir. Kant’ın estetik
teorisinin kendine münhasır doğası, hareketli görüntü olarak filmin ve onun ‘zaman’ının
“ne” olduğuna yönelik sınırlandırıcı/indirgemeci olmayan yeni ve üretken bir
okuma yapmamızın imkanını sağlar. Bununla ilgili makalenin tartışmaya açtığı
bir diğer iddia, Kant’ın estetik teorisine “içkin” zaman anlayışının, filmin
ürettiği/içerdiği zaman’ın dışında konumlanamayacağına yöneliktir. Böylece,
“bir filmden neden keyif aldığımız” sorusuna, Deleuze ile paralel bir biçimde,
“bakışı ya da görmeyi kolonize eden” mekanizmayı dışarıda bırakarak cevap verme
olanağına sahip oluruz. Bütün bu tartışmalar ışığında bu makalede, filme
yönelik daha önceki açıklama modellerinin görmezden geldiği “anomalilerin”,
Kant’ın epistemolojisi ile estetik teorisi arasındaki sınırda çözülebileceğini göstermeye çalışacağız.
ВТОРИЧНЫЕ КАРБОНАТЫ ЮРСКИХ ПЕСЧАНЫХ ОТЛОЖЕНИЙ КАК ПОКАЗАТЕЛИ ПРОДУКТИВНОСТИ ПАЛЕОЗОЯ
Authors: Мельник Игорь Анатольевич , Недоливко Наталья Михайловна , Зимина Светлана Валерьевна
Published: March 2020

Работа основана на концепции глубинного генезиса флюидов с последующей субвертикальной миграцией (снизу вверх) по проницаемым зонам и разгрузкой в вышележащих коллекторах. Причем в зонах разгрузки и на путях миграции флюидов происходят геохимические преобразования аллотигенных минералов. Интенсивности процессов вторичного, наложено-эпигенетического образования минералов зависят от физико-химических свойств жидкости и скорости её течения. Целью статьи является иллюстрация связи интенсивности процессов вторичной карбонатизации юрских песчаных отложений с характером насыщения палеозойских пород. Методы. Интенсивность вторичной карбонатизации определялась по инновационной технологии статистической интерпретации материалов геофизических исследований скважин. Проводились сопоставления полученных статистических интенсивностей с результатами литолого-петрографических, минералогических исследований керна на предмет содержания карбонатов и с результатами испытаний палеозойских коллекторов. Актуальность работы обусловлена появившейся возможностью с высокой вероятностью выявлять зоны расположения нефтегазовых залежей в фундаменте по результатам статистической интерпретации данных геофизических исследований скважин юрских отложений, используя материалы старого фонда. Объектом исследования явились песчаные пласты юрского возраста Герасимовского месторождения (Томская область), а также карбонатные минералы, расположенные в песчаной породе. Выводы. Усреднённая интенсивность процесса вторичной карбонатизации в юрских песчаных отложениях является индикатором характера насыщения палеозойских пластов. С ростом интенсивности карбонатизации юрских пластов увеличивается вероятность обнаружения нефтенасыщенных залежей в фундаменте. С точки зрения выявления продуктивных залежей палеозоя наиболее информативным карбонатным минералом в юрских пластах является аутигенный сидерит.

Published: March 2020

Актуальность. Системы видеонаблюдения являются важнейшим видом инструментальных средств наблюдений за состоянием вулканов. Высокая интенсивность сбора данных способствует формированию огромного массива изображений. При этом климатические особенности мест нахождения исследуемых объектов, а также не всегда стабильная работа каналов передачи данных являются причиной появления большого числа испорченных или неинформативных снимков. На их просмотр и исключение из архива специалистами затрачивается дополнительное время, что в целом может сказаться на оперативности принятия решений, связанных с информированием заинтересованных лиц о возникновении опасных природных явлений. В связи с этим актуальной является задача разработки методов и технологий анализа и фильтрации изображений для создания эффективной системы видеонаблюдения за вулканами.  Цель: разработка алгоритмов для анализа изображений вулканов. Методы: детектор границ Canny, преобразование дискретных контуров в параметрические в виде ломанных линий, вычисление эталонных характеристик и сравнение с ними полученных данных,  анализ частотных характеристик снимка с использованием преобразования Хаара, разложение изображения в многомасштабную пирамиду, составление вектора характерных визуальных признаков объекта, обнаружение искомого объекта с использованием SVM-классификатора. Результаты. Алгоритмы анализа фотоснимков для оценки видимости вулканов и поиска яркостных аномалий. Выводы. В рамках проведенного исследования авторами были разработаны алгоритмы для анализа изображений вулканов. Предложенные методы и подходы позволяют эффективно решать задачи оценки видимости объекта и детектирования яркостных аномалий. Созданные программные средства предоставляют набор инструментов для фильтрации и экспертной оценки изображений с целью поиска возможных признаков активности вулкана. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы в работе систем мониторинга вулканической активности для обеспечения безопасности авиации и защиты населения.
ЛОХКОВСКИЕ ОТЛОЖЕНИЯ ЗАПАДНОГО СКЛОНА ЮЖНОГО УРАЛА, ИХ РАСЧЛЕНЕНИЕ И ГЛОБАЛЬНАЯ КОРРЕЛЯЦИЯ НА ОСНОВЕ КОНОДОНТОВОЙ ФАУНЫ
Authors: Мавринская Татьяна Михайловна , Артюшкова Ольга Викторовна
Published: March 2020

Актуальность. На сегодняшний день в числе приоритетных задач в глобальном плане является разработка стандартной конодонтовой шкалы для лохковского и пражского ярусов нижнего девона. В соответствии с этим в различных регионах мира активно ведется изучение конодонтовой фауны в нижнедевонских отложениях. Цель настоящих исследований – выявление закономерностей распространения конодонтов в лохковских отложениях западного склона Южного Урала для создания региональной конодонтовой зональности. Методы. В карбонатных разрезах лохковского яруса на западном склоне Южного Урала выделено два горизонта. Нижний лохков соответствует сиякскому горизонту, верхний – шерлубайскому. Для решения поставленных задач были изучены на конодонтовую фауну стратотипические разрезы сиякского и шерлубайского горизонтов и разрезы нижнего девона по берегам р. Белой. Пробы отбирались с интервалом 15–20 см. Вес проб составлял 1–2 кг. В лабораторных условиях известняки подвергались дезинтеграции в муравьиной кислоте. Нерастворимый остаток просматривался под бинолупой с целью выявления конодонтов. Выполнялись видовые определения и анализ выделенных конодонтов. Результаты. Многочисленные конодонты обнаружены в шерлубайском горизонте в разрезе Миндигулово. Они представлены космополитными видами, которые позволили создать региональную биозональную конодонтовую шкалу для западного склона Южного Урала. Выделено семь конодонтовых зон: omoalpha, transitans, eleanorae, trigonicus, kutscheri, pandora beta, gilberti. Разработанная конодонтовая шкала эквивалентна другим шкалам при-Гондванских регионов, что дает возможность напрямую выполнять глобальную корреляцию. Полученные в процессе исследований данные позволяют принять точку зрения о трехчленном делении лохковского яруса. В соответствии с этим шерлубайский горизонт включает средний (нижняя часть горизонта) и верхний лохков (верхняя часть).
Ejecutando y Pausando Aplicaciones Distribuidas Corriendo sobre Desktop Clouds Mediante Snapshots Globales
Authors: Gómez Carlos E. , Chavarriaga Jaime , Bonilla David C. , Castro Harold E.
Published: March 2020

Los desktop clods dependen de recursos computacionales volátiles. Por ejemplo, plataformas como cuCloud y UnaCloud ejecutan aplicaciones científicas en máquinas virtuales que aprovechan recursos ociosos en salas de cómputo y laboratorios. Lamentablemente, estos recursos pueden ser reclamados por los usuarios, apagados o presentar fallas en cualquier momento. La aplicación que se ejecuta en estas plataformas sufre interferencias e interrupciones que no ocurren en plataformas dedicadas. Nosotros hemos estado investigando cómo enfrentar estas interrupciones para aumentar la confiabilidad de la plataforma y soportar aplicaciones que se ejecutan durante largos períodos de tiempo. Este artículo describe una aplicación de nuestro Protocolo de Snapshot Global, el cual puede emplearse para ejecutar y pausar aplicaciones distribuidas que se ejecutan en desktop clouds. Nosotros encontramos que, en estos entornos, la cantidad de fallas causadas por los usuarios de los computadores de escritorio es mayor que la causada por el hardware y las comunicaciones. Allí, cuando se detiene un sistema distribuido que se ejecuta en las máquinas virtuales de un desktop cloud, nosotros podemos reanudar la ejecución usando los mismos computadores y finalizar exitosamente la ejecución de las aplicaciones.
Financial Anxiety Among College Students: The Role of Generational
Status
Authors: Potter Derek , Jayne David , Britt Sonya
Published: March 2020

Both financial anxiety and first-generation student status have been linked
to negative academic outcomes, mental health issues, and poor social adjustment
among college students; however, each factor has been studied in isolation. This
article examines the predictors of financial anxiety, including generational
status, using the Roy Adaptation Model and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression
analysis on data from a large, Midwestern public university. First-generation
student status was positively associated with financial anxiety in multivariate
modeling. Proxies for students' self-concepts, including financial comparisons to
peers and perceived mastery, had the largest contribution to the model. Financial
counseling programs geared toward first-generation college students may impact
their self-concepts and reduce financial anxiety.
Formation of Civic Responsibility in Russia

Published: March 2020

The concept of civic responsibility is poorly studied by modern political science and is not sufficiently used in the analysis of the Russian political situation. This article attempts to develop the concept of civic responsibility as a category in political science using political, sociological and institutional approaches. The scientific novelty lies in the deployment of the concept of civic responsibility in the institutional context of civil society and the state. The identification of the normative and value structure of civic responsibility and its congruence in the institutional environment and the assessment of the development potential of civic responsibility will allow the better understanding of Russian politics and Russian society, as well as the expansion of the possibilities for influencing the process of the formation of civic responsibility as a stable foundation of modern politics. For empirical verification of theoretical assumptions, we used the data of an all-Russian representative survey of the population aged 18 years and older conducted by the comparative political research department of the Institute of Sociology of the Federal Center of Theoretical and Applied Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (with the support of the Center of Social Forecasting and Marketing) in June 2019. The size of the sampled population was 700 people (OSPI-2019).
Happiness and Social Well-Being in the Estimates of Russians – the Problem of Differentiation of Concepts
Authors: Sushko Pavel E.
Published: March 2020

The article analyzes subjective assessments of social well-being and happiness in the context of their relationship with the characteristics of individuals in various areas of the social system. The similarities and differences in assessments of these categories are analyzed in the context of age, socioprofessional and income groups. It is shown that in older age groups, as well as in low-income groups engaged in low-skilled physical and non-physical labor, the categories of happiness and well-being are not actually divided in subjective assessments. On the contrary, in younger age groups, as well as those who belong to the middle and high-income groups mainly engaged in highly skilled non-physical labor, a discrepancy is found in assessments of social well-being and happiness. In the first case, the similar perception of the categories studied is evidence of weak motives for achievement and of focus on the reference groups in assessments. In these groups, the principle of “living no worse than others” prevails. In the second case, the difference in the estimates of well-being and happiness can be explained by the more stable position of these groups in the social system. They are better aware of the possible levels of social well-being that one can strive for. The empirical basis for the analysis was the 26th wave of the annual RLMS-HSE survey monitoring the Russian population’s economic status and health, which was conducted in 2017.

Authors: Lombina Tamara N. , Mansurov Valery A. , Yurchenko Olesya V.
Published: March 2020

The article centers on the problems of reading in the new digital reality associated with the appearance of texts of a new digital format and the changed reading practices. This issue becomes topical, as digital reading starts to prevail over traditional which affects individual readers and the educational system. We conducted a pilot study of the reading skills of fourth-grade students (106 people) and analysed their reading practices. Testing according to the method of L. Yasyukova showed that most pupils (70%) have incomplete reading skills. Our respondents spend more time on digital reading (searching for information and communicating with friends on the Internet) as compared to reading paper books. In classes where pupils spend more time on the Internet, a larger percentage of pupils showed incomplete reading skills. Based on the data obtained, we formulated a hypothesis that requires further verification. The time spent by pupils on the Internet and the amount of digital reading may affect the level of understanding of texts on paper.

Authors: Vorob’ev Sergey M. , Avdeev Evgeny A.
Published: March 2020

The article analyzes students’ ideas about interethnic relations on the basis of a study conducted in the first half of 2019. One thousand senior students studying various fields aged 20-24 in Moscow and Stavropol were interviewed. The results are analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics-23. For most of the students interviewed, it is important to be aware of their connection with the country, their small homelands, and people of their nationality. The vast majority of students interviewed did not encounter instances of insult, humiliation, or conflict situations due to their nationality. Muslim respondents and representatives of the peoples of the North Caucasus note instances of insult, humiliation, and conflict situations related to their nationality more than others. The majority of students interviewed approve of interethnic marriages, except for Muslim respondents. Of the variables studied, the most differentiating are the national and religious affiliations of students. To a great extent, this concerns the presence/absence of cases of insult, humiliation, and conflict situations related to nationality issues. To consolidate the positive dynamics of interethnic relations, to prevent instances of insult, humiliation, and conflict situations due to national and religious affiliations, further development of ethnic and cultural integration in the multicultural environment of young students is needed, as well as the stimulation of ethnocultural tolerance and the improvement of the work of the public administration bodies of the constituent entities of the North Caucasian Federal District of the Russian Federation and universities in motivating young people to respect ethnic and religious values and traditions.
The Environmental Movement as a Factor in the Development of Civil Society in Uzbekistan
Authors: Kim Larisa A.
Published: March 2020

The globalization of environmental problems, the changed political situation, and the new social and environmental experience of the Republic of Uzbekistan and its interaction with other, mainly neighboring, countries, compel us to comprehend the environmental activity of the people of Uzbekistan. The article analyzes the national model of the civil society of the republic, its conditioning by the historical and sociocultural characteristics of the country, by traditional values and by mental and behavioral characteristics, and universal mechanisms of adaptation to the natural and social environment, which together generally influenced the formation and development of the environmental movement in the republic. The processes of formation and the modern dynamics of the environmental movement in Uzbekistan and its particular characteristics are being studied. We analyzed activities aimed at adapting to an unpredictable future, the ability to develop a variety of socioecological practices, the ability to implement flexible communication strategies, create an information space related to environmental issues, their introduction into the daily life of society and its gradual transformation into a significant political and environmental force. The article also analyzes the experience of the Western environmental movement, which could contribute to the development of the environmental movement in Uzbekistan and its greater social sustainability, including through the involvement of more resources and new participants. The uniqueness of the sociocultural conditions in Uzbekistan, focusing on national identity and at the same time relying on a new technological base and on the social innovations that determined the characteristics of the local movement, allows us to discuss the Uzbek model of the environmental movement as a clearly expressed independent sociocultural phenomenon which deserves close attention and further in-depth study.

HighlightsCoral cover, rugosity, and reef fish abundance was determinedThe relationship between coral cover and rugosity and fish abundance was analyzed.Coral cover in East Java were categorized as medium – good.The rugosity index and the fish abundance were highest in Bangsring Waters.There are no relationships between coral cover and fish abundance, but there is relationship between rugosity and fish abundance.AbstractA coral reef is one of the most complex and specific ecosystems in a tropical area. It is identified by its high productivity and biodiversity. This research aims to discover the percentage of coral reef cover and rugosity, as well as the fish abundance in several locations in East Java, Indonesia. In addition, this research aims to investigate the correlation of coral reef cover and rugosity with the density of coral reef fish. This research was conducted in three locations, i.e., Bangsring Waters of Wongsorejo District, Banyuwangi Regency; Gili Noko Bawean Island, Gresik Regency; and Kramat Island, Gili Genting District, Sumenep Regency. This research employed the Line Intercept Transect (LIT) method to calculate the percentage of coral reef cover, the Chain Intercept Transect (CIT) method to determine the coral reef rugosity, and the Belt Transect method to estimate the fish abundance. From this research, it was revealed that the highest coral reef cover was in Bawean waters, while the highest rugosity was in Bangring waters. In addition, the highest coral reef fish density was in Bangsring waters. Meanwhile, the coral reef fish density did not correlate with the percentage of coral reef cover. In contrast, it correlated with the coral reef rugosity.

Published: March 2020

O pseudoaneurisma de artéria renal é uma complicação vascular que pode ocorrer após procedimentos percutâneos, nefrectomia, traumas penetrantes e traumas contusos, este de difícil ocorrência. Os sinais e sintomas são inespecíficos e podem variar com cada paciente, sendo a hematúria o sintoma mais comum. Com isso, faz-se necessário um bom entendimento do histórico médico do paciente para suspeição clínica. A tomografia computadorizada e o ecodoppler podem ser usados como auxílio ao diagnóstico. Neste relato, apresentamos o caso de um paciente submetido à transplante renal com enxertia em vasos ilíacos à esquerda, evoluiu com piora de função renal sendo submetido a biópsia renal. O quadro progrediu com queda do hematócrito e piora da função renal, sendo submetido a ultrassom com Doppler de rim transplantado que evidenciou formação anecóica pulsátil. A tomografia mostrou extravasamento de contraste no parênquima do enxerto renal. Foi optado, então, por tratamento endovascular de pseudoaneurisma em enxerto renal com molas. O paciente evoluiu no pós-operatório com resolução da dor em fossa ilíaca esquerda, e melhora de função renal.
História das placas de formatura da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade Federal do Ceará
Authors: Silva Ricardo Pereira
Published: March 2020

Até o ano de 1970, entrava apenas uma turma por ano através de seu concurso vestibular. A partir de 1971, passaram a entrar duas turmas por ano, o que acontece até hoje. A turma que entrou no segundo semestre de 1971 colou grau no final do primeiro semestre de 1977. Sendo assim, desde 1977, temos turma 1977.1, 1977.2, etc. No entanto, constava no arquivo da  coordenação do curso da FM-UFC duas  turmas anuais em 1973, 1974, 1975 e 1976, quando, na realidade, até 1976 só havia uma turma por ano.

Passou a se colocar o número ordinal nas placas a partir da turma de 1988.1.  Baseado nas informações dos arquivos do curso, a comissão de formatura dessa turma escreveu na placa que essa era a  51a turma, quando na verdade essa é a  46a turma. A partir dessa placa, então,  todas as outras que tem o número ordinal até a turma de 2019.1 estão com esta informação incorreta. Devido a uma prolongada greve de professores, não houve turma se formando no primeiro semestre de 1985.
Metabolic Targets for Treatment of Autoimmune Diseases

Published: March 2020

There is a considerable unmet demand for safe and efficacious medications in the realm of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The fate of the immune cells is precisely governed by control of various metabolic processes such as mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, glycolysis, fatty acid synthesis, beta-oxidation, amino acid metabolism, and several others including the pentose phosphate pathway, which is a unique source of metabolites for cell proliferation and maintenance of a reducing environment. These pathways are tightly regulated by the cytokines, growth factors, availability of the nutrients and host-microbe interaction. Exploring the immunometabolic pathways that govern the fate of cells of the innate and adaptive immune system, during various stages of activation, proliferation, differentiation and effector response, is crucial for new development of new treatment targets. Identifying the pathway connections and key enzymes will help us to target the dysregulated inflammation in autoimmune diseases. The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is increasingly recognized as one of the key drivers of proinflammatory responses in autoimmune diseases. In this review, we provide an update on the current understanding of the metabolic signatures noted within different immune cells of many different autoimmune diseases with a focus on selecting pathways and specific metabolites as targets for treatment.
A ONTOLOGIA COMO NOVA IDEOLOGIA ALEMÃ: ADORNO E A CRÍTICA DA CARÊNCIA ONTOLÓGICA
Authors: Caux Luiz Philipe de
Published: March 2020

O artigo oferece uma interpretação do conceito adorniano de carência, foco do primeiro capítulo da primeira parte da Dialética Negativa. Pretende provar a centralidade desse conceito para a compreensão, não só da crítica de Adorno à ontologia fundamental heideggeriana, mas também, da sua noção de crítica imanente em geral. Para alcançar esse objetivo, o artigo reconstrói o tratamento do conceito de carência em Kant, Hegel e no jovem Marx, indicando como esse tratamento viria a exercer influência em Adorno. Em seguida, mostra-se como tal conceito é atualizado por ele a partir do diagnóstico de tempo do capitalismo tardio, e quais as consequências dessa reconfiguração para a formulação de uma dialética negativa.

Vegetables are horticultural crops that have a high market absorption. Modern market that is considered to have many advantages does not necessarily reduce consumers’ shopping interest at traditional markets. Traditional markets appear to have different characteristics and visitor segments from modern markets. This study aims to determine the level of consumers’ satisfaction of vegetables towards the marketing mix in the traditional markets in Sukoharjo. Data were processed using the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) method. The study was conducted from January to March 2019 with 80 consumers of vegetables as the respondents taken using quota sampling technique. CSI analysis was used to measure the level of customers’ satisfaction by calculating the rates of indicator performance attached to the items/services given by the consumers. Based on the CSI values, the result of the study conclude that consumers were satisfied with the services provided in traditional markets, which put priority on using family system to create convenient atmosphere of transactions.

The low organic matter content of paddy soils impacts the declining quality of land. Without the efforts to enrich the soil organic matter (SOM) content, the productivity of paddy fields will decrease or the need for inorganic fertilizers will increase to reach the level of yield. The present research aims to determine the effect of differences in organic and conventional paddy fields management practices on soil organic carbon (SOC) content and biological activities. The research was conducted from July to September 2018 on organic and conventional paddy fields in Dukuhseti Sub-district, Pati Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Sampling points were taken from six organic samples in the organic paddy fields while the other six samples were taken from conventional paddy fields. The variables observed in this research were organic C, pH, total N soil, total bacterial colonies, soil respiration and microbial biomass C. The results show that the organic C content in the organic paddy field (2.4%) was higher than that of the conventional paddy field (1.8%). The C content of organic paddy fields increased by 0.6%. The differences of the total bacterial colonies, soil respiration and microbial biomass C between organic paddy fields and conventional paddy fields were 11.5 CFU g-1, 7.42 mg CO2 week-1 and 0.51 µg g-1, respectively, because the use of organic farming systems could improve the biological nature of soils and caused biological activity in organic paddy fields to have the highest value compared to conventional paddy fields.

Published: March 2020

The cinnamon extract-loaded nanoparticles with high phenolic content and antioxidant activity were successfully developed in a previous study. This study aimed to investigate the radical scavenging activity in 2.2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl system and stability of the nanoparticles under heat treatment. This study is important for directing the application of the nanoparticles in foods in the future. The thermal stability test was conducted using two different methods, which were the combination of relatively lower temperature (20-100°C) with a long time treatment (up to 120 hours) and the combination of relatively higher temperature (110-150°C) with a short time treatment (equal to or less than 2 hours). The results show that the cinnamon extract-loaded nanoparticles exhibited a radical scavenging activity. The higher proportion of cinnamon loading resulted in the higher radical scavenging activity of the nanoparticles. The thermal treatment caused a significant degradation on the phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the nanoparticles. The energy activation (Ea) of the phenolic content and antioxidant activity was found at 35.17 kJ mol-1 and 27.91 kJ mol-1, respectively. This study suggests that the cinnamon extract-loaded nanoparticles might be preferably incorporated into foods minimally involving heat exposure during their manufacture.
A Semi-Supervised Machine Learning Approach Using K-Means Algorithm to Prevent Burst Header Packet Flooding Attack in Optical Burst Switching Network
Authors: Et al. Patwary
Published: March 2020

Optical burst switching (OBS) network is a new generation optical communication technology. In an OBS network, an edge node first sends a control packet, called burst header packet (BHP) which reserves the necessary resources for the upcoming data burst (DB). Once the reservation is complete, the DB starts travelling to its destination through the reserved path. A notable attack on OBS network is BHP flooding attack where an edge node sends BHPs to reserve resources, but never actually sends the associated DB. As a result the reserved resources are wasted and when this happen in sufficiently large scale, a denial of service (DoS) may take place. In this study, we propose a semi-supervised machine learning approach using k-means algorithm, to detect malicious nodes in an OBS network. The proposed semi-supervised model was trained and validated with small amount data from a selected dataset. Experiments show that the model can classify the nodes into either behaving or not-behaving classes with 90% accuracy when trained with just 20% of data. When the nodes are classified into behaving, not-behaving and potentially not-behaving classes, the model shows 65.15% and 71.84% accuracy if trained with 20% and 30% of data respectively. Comparison with some notable works revealed that the proposed model outperforms them in many respects.

Background: Immunoglobulin Intravenous (IVIG) widely used in Mucocutaneous Lymph Node Syndrome (Kawasaki disease, KD). However,patients’inflammatory response remains unclear during usage. We evaluated the relationship between inflammatory response and lymphocytes count in KD children with different ages undergoing IVIG to identify the clue significance of lab parameters in therapeutic effect. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 60 KD children and divided them into five groups depending on ages. We investigated all patients’reduced neutrophil percentage and increased lymphocyte percentage before and after IVIG. In the group of patients aged 4 years and older, we explored the absolute counts of CD19 + B cell before therapy and analyzed it together with patient selves’level of interleukin-10 (IL-10) after IVIG. Results: In KD patients after the treatment of IVIG, The means of decreased neutrophil percentages and increased lymphocyte percentage are respectively 30.92% and 25.25% (group of less than 1 year), 29.52% and 22.14% (1 year), 28.31% and 21.7% (2 years), 32.42% and 25.98% (3 years), 34.58% and 27.92% (4 years and older). The scatter diagrams of these two indexes in all groups showed linear relationship. The correlation coefficients valued respectively 0.91, 0.87, 0.91, 0.97, and 0.99 with p value less than 0.01 in all of groups. Means of age correlated positively with their correlation coefficients (r = 0.88, P < 0.05). In the patients aged 4 years and older,absolute counts of CD19 + B cell before IVIG increased, which presented a linear correlation with the decreased extent of IL-10 after the IVIG (r = 0.71, P < 0.05). Conclusions: The older the children’s age, the better the regulatory effect of IVIG on the KD children's immune response and on the recovery of immune equilibrium. In KD patients aged 4 years and older, the abnormally proliferating CD19 + B cell may take part in the enhanced secretion of IL-10 to balance the overactive humoral immune. In patients 4 years and older, combining absolute count of CD19 + B cell before IVIG with the extent of decreased IL-10 after IVIG may have potential significance to evaluate the effect of IVIG on inflammatory immune response.

Background: miRNAs participate in the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and are involved in multiple pathogenesis of DR. High expression of NF-κB signaling pathway boosts the progression of retinopathy in diabetes rats. We found a site where miR-874 bound to the NF-κB p65 by the prediction on a bioinformatics website. Therefore, it was speculated that miR-874 might improve retinopathy in diabetic rats by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway.Methods: Ten healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were taken as the control group. Sixty streptozotocin (60 mg/kg)-induced diabetes model rats were randomly divided into the model group (injection of normal saline), negative control (NC) agomir group (injection of overexpressed NC vector), miR-874 agomir group (injection of miR-874 mimic), miR-874 anti-agomir group (injection of miR-874 inhibitor), EVP4593 group (injection of NF-κB signaling pathway antagonist EVP4593), and miR-874 anti-agomir + EVP4593 group (injection of miR-874 inhibitor and EVP4593). All injection was via caudal vein.Results: miR-874 could target the degradation of p65. Compared with the control group, there were significantly reduced miR-874 expression, increased VEGF and Ang2 protein expressions, lowered end-diastolic velocity and peak systolic velocity of central retinal artery (CRA) and blood velocity of central retinal vein and CRA, heightened plasma viscosity, blood viscosity and erythrocyte sedimentation rate at all shear rates, decreased capillary pericytes, increased vascular endothelial cells, and ascended p65 expression in the retina of rats in the model group (all P < 0.05). It showed that pathological changes appeared in the retina of diabetes rats. These indexes showed the same results after miR-874 was inhibited (all P < 0.05). However, these indexes showed the opposite results in the miR-874 agomir group and EVP4593 group compared with the model group (all P < 0.05). EVP4593 could alleviate the aggravation of retinopathy that was caused by the inhibition of miR-874 in diabetes rats.Conclusions: miR-874 mediates the NF-κB signaling pathway by targeting the degradation of p65 to further improve the retina of diabetes rats, showing the improvement effect of miR-874 on diabetic retinopathy in rats.
