MARUF AMIN’S POLITICAL COMMUNICATION STRATEGY IN THE 2019 ELECTION CAMPAIGN: A LESSON FOR ANTI-HOAX POLITICS
Authors: Widjayanto Febby , Naim Sidrotun , Mokodenseho Sabil
Published: November 2022

Social media (Instagram) with embedded text in various forms of multimedia content have become an important battleground for politicians to place the relevance of their policies to the public during election campaigns. The narratives played by politicians in the digital space are aimed at securing the mass base and votes of supporters, while seeking early certainty of their victory. This study aims to analyze Maruf Amin’s political communication strategy in dealing with hoaxes in the 2019 Indonesian election campaign. In this study, the researchers used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to analyze the data. Primary data were taken from interviews. Meanwhile, the secondary data ware from journal articles, books, news, report releases, and digital contents. The data analysis model used in this study is inductive analysis, an analytical model in qualitative research that does not depart from theoretical deductions but rather empirical facts. This article was prepared by applying research steps, starting with data collecting, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. Results indicated that digital political communication strategies applied in campaigns against hoaxes can be seen from how the digital presence with the identity of politicians, authentic character, and having intellectual and social capital as ulama is indirectly attached to scientific authorities who are bound by responsibility for delivering scientific truth. In addition, another finding is that coherence and consistency in campaigns can play an important role in success against hoaxes. To conclude, anti-hoax narratives in elections are inevitable. In other words, it is political resources that are free to use at any time and ready to be used by politicians to reaffirm an agenda, neutralize an issue, instill new ideas about nationalism, and provide educational and literacy messages for the wider audience.

Comparison of gold nanoparticle size using different measurement techniques and protocols
Authors: Santiago Botasini
Published: November 2022

With the advancement of nanotechnology both in academically and commercially, the need for nanoparticle characterization techniques and protocols has grown. Although there are several methods of nanoparticle measuring, the “true” size of nanoparticles cannot be understood in absolute terms. It is related to the shape and type of nanomaterial. In addition to, the technique and protocols or criteria are all associated with measurements. In other words, when we talk about particle size, we must keep in mind two basic questions: what are we measuring and how do we measure it? From a metrological point of view, it is important to focus the discussion on the criteria to be taken into account and on the additional parameters to be reported when presenting a nanoparticle size result. By way of comparison, the present work shows the characterization of homogeneous gold nanoparticles using different techniques and measurement criteria for the routine methods DLS, UV-VIS and HR-TEM. The results show that when talking about particle size, it is necessary to refer to the model used, as well as to the criteria chosen at the time of counting.
Current practice of physiotherapists in outpatient stroke rehabilitation: a cross-sectional survey in Austria / Arbeitsweise von Physiotherapeut*innen in der ambulanten Schlaganfallrehabilitation: eine Querschnittsumfrage in Österreich
Authors: Greisberger Andrea , Mayer Susanne , Barthelmes Lisa-Sophia , Diermayr Gudrun
Published: November 2022

Ziel

Leitlinienbasiertes Arbeiten hat Vorteile für Patient*innen und das Gesundheitssystem. Trotz dieser Vorteile arbeiteten in der Vergangenheit nur ca. 10 % der österreichischen Physiotherapeut*innen leitlinienbasiert. Zur Behandlung von Mobilitätseinschränkungen nach Schlaganfall empfehlen aktuelle, internationale Leitlinien aufgabenorientiertes Training sowie den Einsatz standardisierter Assessments. Das Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die Arbeitsweise von in der ambulanten Schlaganfallversorgung tätigen Physiotherapeut*innen in Österreich bezüglich dieser Leitlinienempfehlungen darzustellen.

Methode

Ein bereits in einer Umfrage in Deutschland verwendeter Fragebogen wurde an den österreichischen Kontext adaptiert. Der Fragebogen beinhaltete ein Fallbeispiel, anhand dessen je drei Untersuchungsmethoden und Behandlungsmaßnahmen genannt und begründet werden sollen. Eingeschlossen wurden Physiotherapeut*innen, die mindestens drei Personen nach Schlaganfall pro Jahr behandeln. Die Datenanalyse erfolgte über eine qualitative Inhaltsanalyse und deskriptive Statistik.

Ergebnisse

Dreißig Physiotherapeut*innen füllten den Fragebogen vollständig aus und nannten je 88 Untersuchungsmethoden und Behandlungsmaßnahmen. Die Untersuchungsmethoden wurden zu 34,1 % der Kategorie „standardisierte Assessments“ und zu 65,9 % der Kategorie „physiotherapeutische Basisuntersuchung (nicht standardisiert)“ zugeordnet. Die Behandlungsmaßnahmen wurden zu 30,7 % den „traditionellen Behandlungskonzepten“ Bobath und Propriozeptive Neuromuskuläre Fazilitation zugeordnet. Die häufigste „andere Maßnahme“ war das gerätegestützte Kraft- und Ausdauertraining (22,7 %). Gründe für die Auswahl waren positive Erfahrung, Wissen aus Fortbildungen, Praktikabilität und Vereinbarkeit mit individuellen Zielen der Personen nach Schlaganfall.

Diskussion

Die ambulante physiotherapeutische Versorgung von Personen nach Schlaganfall ist aktuell geprägt von Untersuchungsmethoden und Behandlungsmaßnahmen, die in Leitlinien großteils nicht empfohlen werden. Da die Auswahl u. a. mit Wissen aus Fortbildungen begründet wird, könnten Fortbildungen ein möglicher Ansatzpunkt für die Förderung leitlinienkonformer Physiotherapie sein. Die geringe Teilnehmer*innenzahl limitiert die Aussagekraft der Studie.

Authors: Гусева Марина Анатольевна , Андреева Елена Георгиевна , Рогожина Юлия Владимировна
Published: November 2022

Всемирная стратегия развития промышленных предприятий предполагает создание новейших цифровых платформ, объединяющих всех участников производственных циклов, в том числе занимающихся реализацией готовой продукции потребителям. В российской швейной отрасли исторически сложились крепкие производственные связи с аутсорсинговыми фирмами Юго-Восточной Азии, приоритетными из которых являются фабрики Китая. Опыт функционирования бизнес-проектов по производству швейной продукции в содружестве с аутсорсинг-подрядчиками показал, что в условиях геополитических ограничений наиболее эффективные результаты получены компаниями, использующими преимущества промышленного интернета. В период пандемии усилились трудности взаимодействия между заказчиками и исполнителями, как на межгосударственном уровне, так и внутри стран-подрядчиков. На швейных предприятиях наиболее не приспособленным к бесперебойному функционированию в условиях ограничений оказался этап технологического контроля. Классический подход к оценке уровня изготовления одежды основан на контактных измерениях полуфабрикатов и готовых изделий. До настоящего времени в отрасли отсутствовал опыт дистанционных инспекций качества изготовления швейной продукции с помощью компьютерного зрения. В статье представлены инновационные разработки авторов из ФГБОУ ВО «Российский государственный университет им. А.Н. Косыгина (Технологии. Дизайн. Искусство)» по оптимизации процесса контроля качества изготовления швейной продукции с использованием систем компьютерного зрения на этапе финального контроля. Апробация предложенного способа проводится на аутсорсинговых предприятиях Китая.

Authors: Çopur Doğrusöz Medine , Başaran Ugur , Ayan İlknur , Acar Zeki
Published: November 2022

This study was performed to investigate how to smoke solution affects dry matter loss, crude protein (CP) and toxic compound ODAP contents of grass pea in hydroponic media during seven days period. Three doses of smoke solutions (1, 5 and 10%, V: V) by diluting with tap water were applied to seeds as priming agent, and tap water was used as a control (0%). The experiment was arranged according to the split-plot design with three replications. Compared to seed, significant change was detected in hydroponic sprouts depending on the day in terms of dry matter loss and chemical content. Grass pea sprouts had higher CP and lower ODAP content than seed, even in control treatment. Furthermore, smoke solution increased the efficiency of system by increase CP, decrease ODAP content and also decreases dry matter loss, with significant effect on doses. CP of sprouts increased day by day and was the highest on day 6 (36.27%) at the 10% dose of smoke solution followed by 5% on day 7 (36.09%). ODAP decreased up to day 6 and then began to increase, but it was lower than control at all doses of solution during to experiment. This study showed that grass pea is suitable crop for hydroponic forage produce and that smoke solution can make a significant contribution to yield and quality of sprouts, especially at the dose of 10%. However, when the yield, nutritional value, and safe use were evaluated together, it was observed that the best time for harvesting was the end of the 6th day and delaying did not provide a significant advantage and even occurred undesirable results in terms of ODAP and dry matter.
Efficacy of Ammonization to Eliminate Common Mycotoxins
Authors: Doğan Veysel , Hayırlı Armağan
Published: November 2022

Mycotoxin is a worldwide problem threatening animal health and performance as well as public health. The objective of this experiment was to test the effect of ammonization on elimination of common mycotoxins in laying hen compound feed (CF) and dairy cattle total mixed ration (TMR). The CF for laying hens and TMR for dairy cows were contaminated with commonly occurring mycotoxins [aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), ochratoxin A (OTA), and zearalenone (ZEA)] at 25 times of their accepted legal limits (20 ppb, 200 ppb and 500 ppb, respectively). They were then subjected to ammonization with ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3) at 50C for 24 hours under the atmospheric pressure. Mycotoxin levels were analyzed using the LC-MS/MS technique. The elimination levels in CF and TMR were 53% and 54% for AFB1; 31% and 31% for OTA and 22% and 22% for ZEA, respectively. In conclusion, ammonization was effective in destroying common mycotoxin, at an order of AFB1 > OTA > ZEA.
Social Status and Marriage in the Late Medieval Romances
Authors:   Institute of British & American Studies Center for International Area Studies Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Lee Dong Choon
Published: November 2022

During the medieval age, individual choice and marital affection did not seem to have served as the important factors to determine the marriage. Social status and economic factors crucially worked to constrain individual choice. Along with such factors as age and appearance, the issue of social class was described as one of the potentially disabling factors in marriage. In Andreas's De Amore, the focus is given to social class, and the dialogues powerfully assert the importance of social class in relation to love and the problems involved in trying to transcend its division. The issue of love and social class are handled somewhat directly in his work such as The Parliament of Fowls, as well as ironically in The Wife of Bath's Tale. Social class as the most important factor for considering marriage was more emphasized than ever before in the late Middle age, which reflects the social and economic transition from a patriarchal feudalism to a proto-capitalism. As the period wore on, marriage became more 'class-determined' and served as a means for 'class solidarity,' and as a stepping stone for the cohesion of community as well as the harmony of family.
The Modernization of Death Presented in the Places of Death in Hamlet
Authors:   Institute of British & American Studies Center for International Area Studies Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Ko Keunyoung
Published: November 2022

Based on the history of the Western view of death and the division of the times analyzed by French historian Philippe Ariès, this paper examines how the modernization of Western attitudes toward death is reflected in the ways the main characters of Hamlet mourn the dead and in the places where its characters died. Hamlet is a work that metaphorizes the emotional confusion and trauma experienced by the British Renaissance people during the transition from the Middle Ages to the modern era with the main characters’ complex inner emotions. With mourning as the core theme, this work allows a multi-layered observation of the process of modernization of Western attitudes toward death which was in line with the personalization of modern minds. In this paper, by examining the place where Hamlet's father and Ophelia died and the way they were mourned according to Ariès' chronological classification, the process of “the Tame Death” being transformed into “the Death of the Self” and into “The Death of the Others” again; that is, the process of modernization of medieval death. This paper aims to read it again as a typical representation of the evolving modern spirit, not the remnants of the medieval spirit left to modern people, by reading Hamlet's mourning as a characteristic of the process of modernization of death based on Ariès' analysis.

Published: November 2022

A leishmaniose visceral canina é uma doença de caráter zoonótico, acometendo os seres humanos e diversas espécies de animais silvestres e domésticos. Objetivou-se com o presente estudo realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre o uso da miltefosina no tratamento clínico de cães com leishmaniose visceral. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura, a qual foi realizada por meio de consultas à periódicos e livros presentes na biblioteca do Cesmac. Foram utilizadas bases de dados como: portal Capes, SCIELO, Google Acadêmico; pesquisa em monografias, teses e dissertações. Causada pelo protozoário Leishmania chagasi, sendo o cão doméstico o principal reservatório desse protozoário. Por representar um problema grave de saúde pública e ser considerada uma doença potencialmente fatal (quando não tratada precocemente e adequadamente), faz-se importante que o clínico esteja familiarizado com os sinais clínicos, exames complementares e principais protocolos terapêuticos, em especial a utilização da miltefosina no tratamento da leishmaniose visceral em cães. Por ser uma zoonose que causa graves problemas de saúde pública e que vem crescendo cada vez mais no Brasil, cabe aos médicos veterinários assumirem o compromisso na conscientização sobre a importância do diagnóstico precoce além de promoverem o bem-estar animal e a saúde pública.
Power Sharing and Frequency Control in Inverter-based Microgrids
Authors: Wali Sazgar Abdualaziz , Muhammed Aree Akram
Published: November 2022

In the recent period, developed countries have resorted to using smart grids more widely as a solution to the problems of shortage of electric power, because it is the most environmentally friendly due to its reliance on renewable energy sources and does not require expensive maintenance due to the proximity of its stations to the feeding areas. However, these networks faced problems in sharing the required power between the inverters of the user stations, as well as regulating their frequency when connected to the main network to fill the shortage of electrical energy. This paper aims to achieve the actual sharing of power (Active and Reactive) supply to the varying load between the smart grid inverters by designing a PID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) controller. PID controller gain tuning by PSO (particle swarm optimization) algorithm which is based on PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) scaler that feeds the Microgrid inverter switches. Frequency control can be achieved when connecting Microgrid with the main grid by using PLL (Phase Locked Loop) to generate a controlled reference signal for the PID controller.
Reverse Thinking for Forward Learning: The Online Reverse Video Challenge as a Conceptual Alternative to Simulated Work-integrated Learning
Authors: Fouche Mienke
Published: November 2022

The novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-10) which was declared a pandemic in March 2020 has disrupted learning programmes that rely extensively on work-integrated learning (WIL). This article reflects on the use of the 2016 online reverse video challenge as a remote learning alternative to WIL in the technical theatre stream of the Diploma in Performing Arts at the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT). A reversed intention practice-based assessment (or reverse video assessment) project was designed for the students to approximate the skills required for theatre technicians. This article is a conceptual exploration of the reverse video assessment design that involved exploring trends in reverse footage on online platforms and the professional practice of renowned South African artist and theatre maker, William Kentridge. The needs of contemporary South African students to be “tech-savvy” while faced with limited resources, was aligned with the requirements of the embedded simulated WIL curriculum. The reverse video assessment adopted a design research approach through the lens of play theory to conceptualise the edutainment approach to learning to relieve student anxiety during the pandemic. The assessment focused on three stages of development, namely, abstract thinking, three-dimensional object manipulation, and sequential organisation, which collectively result in a pragmatic creative process. The article will contribute to the remote learning body of knowledge which has come under greater focus during the pandemic. The ongoing pandemic necessitates a remote learning alternative to WIL to ensure continued learning without risking the health of students. The flexible nature of the reverse video assessment allows for the application thereof to different fields and levels of study

Pancha Kosha Theory of Personality
Authors: Dr. Biswajit Satpathy
Published: November 2022

There exist numerous personality theories. Most of the popular and accepted theories of personality have been developed in the West. But the concepts of personality developed in the Upanishads are full proved and have an intrinsic method to achieve happiness and harmony in life with a higher level of personality. Human personality is a combination of physical/ mental and spiritual dimensions. In the East personality is envisaged as a combination of trigunas (tamas, rajas and satva) which can be referred as the Triguna personality theory. The Taittiriya Upanishad describes human being to be having a five sheaths personality (Pancha Kosha) comprising of the material or gross body (Anamaya Kosha), the vital or instinctual component (Pranamaya Kosha), the mental or psychological component (Manomaya Kosha), the intellectual component (Vigyanmaya Kosha), and the fifth aspect of pure bliss and happiness (Anandmaya Kosha). The Triguna theory of personality has been researched by both the Western and Eastern researchers.  But there is a lack of empirical research and development of instruments for Pancha Kosha personality theory. Since the theories are to be culture specific so the Eastern idea of Pancha Kosha should be given proper importance by the researchers of the East and West.

The present paper attempts to explore the relationship between human development, and happiness. Whereas the concept of human development emphasizes the material well-being in terms of improving human capabilities,happiness focuses on life satisfaction and well-being of individuals and nations. By comparing HumanDevelopment Index (HDI) and its components with Happiness Index, the paper explores inter-linkagesbetween them.India’s positionamong 188 countries in the world in human development index (HDI)is 130 when measured through the composite index of three separate indicators of health, education,and income.India ranks 117 among 158 countries in World Happiness Index, which uses factors such asGDP per capita, healthy life expectancy, social supportand perceived freedom to make life choices, the perception of corruption, and generosity to measure happiness.The paper hascompared India’s position with some South Asian neighbors like Bhutan, Bangladesh and SriLanka onhuman development and human happiness.SriLanka, which ranks high in HDI, lags behind in happiness whereas countries like Bhutan and Pakistan, which score relatively low in HDI rank high in happiness index.Overall negative correlations are found between the Human Development Index (HDI), its components i.e. life expectancy, education,income and Happiness Indexin these countries. The paper argues that whereas HDI is universally applicable,happiness and its perceptions are better understood in a specific cultural context. The probable difference could be in the understanding of happiness or life satisfaction from the standpoint of broader development and human development as offering people the opportunity to lead lives they value.

The study was initiated to understand the nature of cognitive impairment among Indian older adults. Given that research on Indian population has been carried out on patient groups (seizures, dementia etc.) more often, this study was looked at as a timely contribution being conducted on individuals who did not receive any diagnosis. The clinical sample was drawn from the division of Neurology clinic of Bangalore Neuro Centre, Bangalore India.  Mental status and cognitive functions were assessed by MMSE (30-score) and standardized 10 Neuropsychological tests (Attention, Fluency, motor speed, mental speed, logical memory, auditory verbal learning & memory, visuo-spatial ability and visual long term memory). The tools used in this study are the MMSE and the NIMHANS Neuropsychological Battery for adults. Sample was obtained through referrals from other professionals and informed consent was obtained for participating in the study. The study explores the inter-relationship of the Neuropsychological test variables, (Pearson’s) correlation analysis and fact-finding factor analyses were performed. Further, we analyzed a principal component and a varimax rotation method to extract number of cognitive factors. Results indicated the high sensitivity of few tests in understanding neuropsychological functioning. This lead us to conclude that the tests, Auditory Verbal Learning Test, Logical Memory test, Complex Figure Test, Controlled Oral Word Association Test, Colour Trails Test and Digit Symbol Substitution Test, are sufficient to understanding the impairment of cognition in the given sample.
