La Asociación Folklórica Argentina: un “antídoto” para la cultura de masas a escala regional (1938-1942)
Authors: Casas Matías Emiliano
Published: April 2019

En mayo de 1937 se conformó la Asociación Folklórica Argentina (AFA) en la ciudad de Buenos Aires. La iniciativa de un grupo ecléctico de profesionales estuvo apuntalada y dirigida por el jurista Santo Faré. La novel agrupación se insertaba en un contexto de crecimiento para los estudios académicos centrados en lo folklórico y en una coyuntura de proliferación de asociaciones que reivindicaban el ámbito rural como núcleo de la identidad nacional. La intervención en una sociedad que entendían tergiversada por diversos factores se plasmó en diferentes iniciativas. La publicación de un boletín como órgano oficial durante cuatro años fue quizá la más perdurable en esos tiempos fundacionales. Este artículo analiza las formas en que la AFA pensó la promoción del folklore, la crítica a la sociedad contemporánea –centrada en los productos culturales circulantes–, y los modos de vincularse con asociaciones preexistentes –principalmente internacionales– a partir de las paginas de su boletín.

Un estado de ánimo rebelde. Notas en torno a Valeria Manzano (2018), La era de la juventud en Argentina. Cultura, política y sexualidad desde Perón hasta Videla, FCE, Buenos Aires, (447pp)
Authors: Pujol Sergio
Published: April 2019

El reciente libro de la historiadora argentina Valeria Manzano, La era de la juventud en Argentina. Cultura, política y sexualidad desde Perón a Videla, refuerza la tesis de que la juventud como actor sociocultural fue una construcción de posguerra, al mismo tiempo que desarrolla con riqueza documental y conceptual los modos particulares con los que la cultura joven transnacional afincó en nuestro país en los años 60 y 70. A partir del análisis de los aportes de la investigación de Manzano, en las siguientes notas nos proponemos reflexionar sobre los aspectos políticos, sociales y culturales del mundo joven, así como de los alcances y las limitaciones de un campo historiográfico emergente.
Determinant of Poverty in Indonesian’s Province: A Review of Public Policy
Authors: Handalani Radite Teguh
Published: April 2019

This study aims to analyze poverty which is complex and multidimensional in terms of several aspects: physical and demographic, economic, social and behavioral aspect. However, the study of poverty problems often constrained by incompleteness and data integrity and it causes limitations on variables and aspects to be studied. Unlike some previous studies, the variables examined in this study not only underlie the study of poverty on the economic aspects and the concept of growth. However, this study was also included demographic aspects and physical mastery of resources, social aspects on education and human development index and aspect of behavior (lifestyle). This approach was applied to avoid hinder on poverty alleviation analysis due to data limitation with an adequate spectrum and dimensions so as to produce a representative model in finding determiner of poverty alleviation in Indonesia and its alternative policies. The method used in this study was carried out with a series of tests and multiple regression analysis using the ordinary least squares (OLS) method. Findings from study which used thirteen variables on related aspect of demographic, economic, social and behavioral aspects generated four variables that significantly influence the decline in the number of poor people in Indonesia.

Keywords: Poverty Alleviation, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Determinant of Poverty, Multiple Regression Analysis

 

Abstrak

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan kajian tentang kemiskinan yang bersifat kompleks dan multidimensi ditinjau dari beberapa aspek kehidupan yaitu: aspek fisik dan demografi, ekonomi, sosial dan aspek budaya (perilaku). Namun, kajian masalah kemiskinan, seringkali terkendala oleh ketidaklengkapan dan integritas data sehingga menyebabkan keterbatasan pada variabel dan aspek yang hendak diteliti. Berbeda dengan beberapa penelitian sebelumnya variabel yang dikaji dalam penelitian ini tidak hanya melandasi kajian tentang kemiskinan hanya pada aspek ekonomi dan konsep pertumbuhan. Namun penelitian ini juga memasukan aspek demografi dan penguasan fisik sumber daya, aspek sosial berupa pendidikan dan indeks pembangunan manusia dan aspek perilaku (gaya hidup). Pendekatan ini dilakukan dengan tujuan agar keterbatasan data tidak menghalangi analisis tentang upaya pengentasan kemiskinan dengan spektrum dan dimensi yang memadai, sehingga dapat menghasilkan model yang representatif dalam menemukan variabel determinan dalam pengentasan kemiskinan di Indonesia beserta alternatif kebijakannya. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini dilakukan dengan serangkaian pengujian dan analisis regresi berganda menggunakan metode ordinary least squares (OLS). Temuan dalam penelitian yang menggunakan 13 variabel yang terkait aspek demografi, ekonomi, sosial dan perilaku terdapat empat variabel berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penurunan jumlah penduduk miskin di Indonesia.

On the relationship between intra group conflict and group performance: Evidence from Telecom Sector of Pakistan
Authors: Naseer Muhammad , Fazal Haleem
Published: April 2019

The current study investigates the link between Intra Group Conflict (Task Conflict, Relationship Conflict) and Group Performance of the employees in the Telecom sector of Pakistan. Employees’ performances are improved by harmony, friendly environment and lack of conflict in an organization. To find out the practicality of these assertions, 200 questionnaires were distributed among employees of five main mobile telecom companies namely Telenor, Mobilink, Ufone, Zong and Warid at their head offices. 122 questionnaires were received back that resulted in 61% response rate. The paper addressed the extent of employees’ perception about Task Conflict and Relationship Conflict in their groups and also investigated that how these types of Intra-group conflict were linked to the overall performance of their groups. A theoretical model was developed to test these hypotheses. For the measurement of intra group conflict (Task conflict, relationship conflict) and group performance two valid and reliable instruments were used. Furthermore for analysis of these data Correlation and regression were used. The result of the study showed significant positive relationship between task conflict and group performance. However, negative association was found between relationship conflict and group performance. At the end, conclusion, limitations, and future research bearings are likewise highlighted.

Published: April 2019

Public policy formulation as a political process is a dynamic formulation of policies involving many actors, ranging from the executive, legislative, academic, to non-governmental organizations. The purpose of this study was to find out the political process of drafting the Oil and Gas Law and determine the model for the formulation of the Oil and Gas Law in the Republic of Indonesia’s House of Representatives. This research method uses a qualitative approach, through observation, in-interview techniques and documentation of secondary data in the process of collecting data. Data analysis using the Interactive Model method by Miles & Huberman's. The results of the study indicate that the political process of drafting the Constitution of Oil and Gas takes place in the following stages: planning, drafting and discussion. Politically, the planning of the Constitution of Oil and Gas comes from several sources: (1) the bill from the President; (2) the bill from the House of Representatives; and (3) the bill from the Regional Representative Council. The long political process in the public policy formulation in the House of Representatives starts from the process of inventorying input from factions, commissions, and the public to be determined as a Legislative Body decision, then the decision is to be consulted with the Government; afterwards, the results of the consultation are reported to the Plenary Session to make the decision.
The Severity of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver in Type II Diabetes
Authors: Calapod Ovidiu Paul , Marin Andreea Maria , Tribus Laura Carina , Fierbinţeanu-Braticevici Carmen
Published: April 2019

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disease that affects up to one third of the adult population of industrialized countries. The pathophysiological spectrum includes the following entities that are clinically and histologically distinct: hepatic steatosis and steatohepatitis; their subsequent evolution can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.The increase of the prevalence of NAFLD during the last decade is caused by the epidemiological and pathophysiological association with type II diabetes and obesity, NAFLD being present in about 70-80% of patients with type II diabetes mellitus. It has long been thought that the relationship between type II diabetes mellitus and NAFLD is unidirectional, fatty liver being secondary to insulin resistance and type II diabetes mellitus, but recent studies show that hepatic steatosis may precede insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus, thus demonstrating abidirectional causal relationship between these two disorders. Weight loss through diet andexercise is effective in preventing and treating NAFLD in diabetic patients; also, drugs that causeweight loss need to be evaluated. Both anti-diabetic medication and statins play an important vrole in the prevention and treatment of NAFLD.
Therapeutic Management in Ulcerative Colitis
Authors: Călin Roxana , Nuţă Petruţ
Published: April 2019

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disorder of the colon, characterized by a diffuse continuous superficial inflammation that always begins within the rectum and affects the proximal colon to a varying extent. One typical feature of the disease is that it does not involve the small intestine. A small percentage of patientsmay present a superficial inflammation of the terminal ileum. Clinically the disease is associated with rectal bleeding and urgency, tenesmus, abdominal pain and diarrhea. In the assessment of the disease severity, various factors are used, including the frequency of bowel movements, rectal bleeding, laboratory tests, endoscopic extension and appearance and patient’s quality of life.

The treatment of ulcerative colitis is adapted to the disease severity and to the individual patient, no treatment being universally effective. Treatment decisions should be based on disease activity (mild, moderate, severe) and distribution (proctitis, left-sided, extensive colitis) If mild to moderate inflammation is limited to the rectum and for left-sided colitis, the mainstay on the treatment are 5-aminosalicylates, which are highly effective as a topical treatment (suppositories, enemas, foams). Corticosteroids are indicated in patients with more severe disease, and in cases where mesalamine has failed in inducing remission.

For extensive mild to moderate ulcerative colitis, therapy recommendation consists of a combined therapy using oral and topical 5-ASA, which proved to be superior to single use of either. Use of systemic corticosteroids should be considered earlier for patients with extensive colitis and/or treatment failure. For patients with severe ulcerative colitis, hospitalization is generally required. In these cases, steroid therapy is still the gold standard. If there is no improvement in the first 72 hours after the initiation of treatment or symptoms are worsening, second-line conventional therapy must be attempted or proctocolectomymay be considered. In steroid-refractory patients, as well as in patients with severe ulcerative colitis, early introduction of immunosuppressive drugs may be effective during severe episodes, and for the prevention of complications, such as toxic megacolon. Without doubt, the introduction of anti-TNF antibodies have improved the therapeutic options available for patients with ulcerative colitis. But, there still is a substantial amount of patients not responding to anti-TNF antibodies or experiencing a secondary loss of response. Fortunately, for these cases, new classes of drugs have been developed and have been evaluated in early clinical trials.

To illustrate the heterogeneity of cases of ulcerative colitis, we present three particular situations.
Water surface topology of supercritical junction flow
Authors: Rak Gašper , Hočevar Marko , Steinman Franci
Published: April 2019

The complexity of flow conditions at junctions amplifies significantly with supercritical flow. It is a pronounced three-dimensional two-phased flow phenomenon, where standing waves with non-stationary water surface are formed. To analyse the hydrodynamic conditions at an asymmetric right-angled junction with incoming supercritical flows at Froude numbers between 2 and 12, an experimental approach was used. For a phenomenological determination of the relations between the integral parameters of incoming flows and the characteristics of standing waves at the junction area, water surface topographies for 168 scenarios at the junction were measured using non-intrusive measurement techniques. The new, phenomenologically derived equations allow for determination of location, height and extent of the main standing waves at the junction. Research results give important information on the processes and their magnitude for engineering applications.

Published: April 2019

The focus of the work presented here is to raise awareness of how ancillary services within the NordPool area could be of value in supporting the future grid, and who could be the provider of these services. The ancillary services considered here are not limited to the current market, but also services for future market solutions as well as services for fulfilment of grid codes. The goal is to promote the development of existing and novel solutions to increase the utilisation and thus the value of equipment within the power system. The paper includes a techno-economical categorisation of ancillary services, from a provider’s perspective, presenting opportunities and competition. Furthermore, procurers of services could utilise this kind of categorisation to identify possible providers or partners. The analysis of the categorisation shows a broad range of possible providers for each service and a broad range of possible services from each provider.

Authors: Akaradechdecha Thunkarn , Tawisook Malai , Honglaradom Chira
Published: April 2019

As current social and technological developments cause increasingly rapid change, it is more important than ever that institutional administrators implement leadership practices that add value to their organizations and ensure competitiveness in the digital era. For the vocational colleges which shape students to contribute to society’s economy as part of its workforce, the study of leadership characteristics can potentially create added value through management by integrating the V4 concept, called Happiness Value, into the leadership of executives. The research aimed to determine and examine these characteristics for modernized leadership of private education institutions using the Delphi method and the results of the study show that leaders have the ability to maximize value, in addition to institutional integrity and sustainability, through management integrating the Happiness Value concept, with five important leadership features being: 1) potential for ideas and creativity, 2) work processes, 3) interpersonal relationships, 4) communication and 5) information systems technology.
Beyond the Dogma of a ‘National Style’: Dance-Type Narration in Stanislaw Moniuszko’s Operas
Authors: Zieziula Grzegorz
Published: April 2019

A privileged position in discourse on 19th-century opera is occupied by narration concerning the emancipation of national styles. In order to work out a fresh approach in scientific study of this subject, it seems crucial that we should abandon the ethnocentric perspective. This was one of the main postulates of Jean-Marie Pradier’s utopian project of ethnoscenology. Importantly, Pradier also stressed the physical aspect of all stage practice. In the times of Rossini, Verdi, Gounod and Moniuszko, the physicality of the spectacle was associated not only with singing, but also with choreography. The links between 19th-century opera and its broadly conceived dance component are the subject of a highly inspiring essay by Maribeth Clark, whose arguments, theses and conclusions we also present here in detail.

Stanisław Moniuszko’s operatic style is commonly associated with Polish dance rhythms. Still, salon dance should also be considered, apart from national dances, as one of the keys to the composer’s entire oeuvre. In a study of his stage works from both the Vilnius and the Warsaw periods, the dance idiom will not be limited to the presence of dance rhythms in the protagonists’ arias or to the ballet sections. Dance qualities can be discerned in Moniuszko’s music on a much deeper, fundamental level of the construction of operatic narration. Dance is frequently a hidden mechanism that serves as an axis of development for the presented events or as an element that organises the dramaturgy of entire scenes and instrumental passages.

This paper is an attempt to take a fresh look at the role of the dance idiom in Moniuszko’s operatic narrations, an initial reconnaissance, in which I point to the sources of the composer’s inspirations and illustrate my theses with specific examples.
The Myth of Polishness in Polish Dances. How Ideologies Interpret Phenomena Related to Music and Movement
Authors: Nowak Tomasz
Published: April 2019

The article discusses the myth of Polishness in the context of dances which gained the social status of ‘national’ ones, i.e. those incorporated into the canon of national culture. I shall start by establishing the terminology and chronology related to the phenomenon of ‘national dance’, and sum up Mieczysław Tomaszewski’s comments on the ways of expressing nationality in music, including dance, and the various aspects of this phenomenon. Methodologically speaking, the present paper is based on the concept of myth as presented by Joseph Campbell, Leszek Kołakowski and Maria Janion, as well as on the findings of Jan Berting, Christiane Villain-Gandossi, Maria Janion and Jan Stęszewski concerning the phenomenon of stereotypes, which are crucial to defining a myth. The main body of my text has been dedicated to the conditions in which the myth of Polish dance was born, its form and relation to the ideology of Sarmatism then current among the Polish nobility, and to its subsequent transformations. Further transformations took place mainly under the influence of a specifically conceived Romanticism, in which the nation’s struggle for liberation took pride of place, accompanied by the cult of the family as a bastion of national culture, in which women played a prominent role as model wives and mothers, as well as by an interest in folk culture, which attracted the upper social strata to folk dances and led to the emergence of the claim (unsupported by existing sources) that the nobility’s dances had folk origins (this myth was particularly popular among the adherents of chłopomania, i.e. the intelligentsia’s fascination with, and interest in, the peasantry). In the final section I point to the durability of the myths concerning Polish national dances, which – thanks to educational efforts and to broadly conceived artistic work – are universally present in the social consciousness also today.
Motivation of Knowledge Workers – the Case of Albania
Authors: Nientied Peter , Toska Merita
Published: April 2019

Background and Purpose: Very little is known about motivation of knowledge workers in the Western Balkans. There is a widespread belief that money and career opportunities are the most critical motivational factors, but from a pre-study more intrinsic motivational factors also appeared to be important. To develop a better understanding of work motivation, a study was conducted among knowledge workers in Albania, with a special interest in the themes of extrinsic / extrinsic motivation and organizational commitment.

Methodology: After a pre-study and a review of theory, two motivation theories (self-determination theory and organizational commitment) and corresponding instruments (Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale, respectively Organizational Commitment Questionnaire) were selected. A survey based on purposive homogeneous sampling was applied, resulting in 252 valid questionnaires. The internal consistency of the survey data was tested and resulted in acceptable to good levels.

Results: The findings show that, when knowledge workers are asked about their motivation, they give answers showing that intrinsic motivational factors are more important than extrinsic motivational factors. The study shows that affective commitment - the core factor of organizational commitment - of the respondents is quite high. Correlation analysis of the data shows that across age, gender and number of years of employment, knowledge workers report intrinsic and introjected motivation and affective organizational commitment. Respondents’ work positions – professional or leadership – also do not significantly correlate with motivation and organizational commitment.

Conclusion: Given the results on motivational factors and organizational commitment, organizations need to pay attention to the relationship between enhanced motivation and enhanced productivity. Current transactional leadership styles do stimulate employees on the basis of their intrinsic motivation to enhance their productivity, and should be considered too.
Evaluation of various common prostate IMRT techniques based on estimated tumor control and normal tissue complication probabilities in correlation with patients anatomical parameters derived from the CT scans
Authors: Banaei Amin , Hashemi Bijan , Bakhshandeh Mohsen , Mofid Bahram
Published: April 2019

Background: The relationship between the prostate IMRT techniques and patients anatomical parameters has been rarely investigated.

Objective: to evaluate various prostate IMRT techniques based on tumor control and normal tissue complication probability (TCP and NTCP) values and also the correlation of such techniques with patients anatomical parameters. Methods: Four IMRT techniques (9, 7 and 5 fields and also automatic) were planned on the CT scans of 63 prostate cancer patients. The sum of distances between the organs at risk (OARs) and target tissue and also their average joint volumes were measured and assumed as anatomical parameters. Selected dosimetric and radiobiological parameters (TCP and NTCP) values were compared among various techniques and the correlation with the above anatomical parameters were assessed using Pearsons’ correlation.

Results: High correlations were found between the dosimetric/radiobiological parameters of OARs with the joint volumes and with the distances between the OARs and target tissue in all the techniques. The TCP and complication free tumor control probability (P+) values were decreased with increasing the joint volume and decreasing the distances between the OARs and target tissue (as poly-nominal functions). The NTCP values were increased with increasing the joint volumes and decreasing the distances (3-degree poly-nominal functions). For the low percent joint volumes (<20%) and high distances (>7 cm), The TCP, NTCP and P+ showed no statistical differences between various techniques (P-value>0.07). However, 9 and 7 fields techniques indicated better radiobiological results (P-value<0.05) in almost other ranges (>20% joint volumes and <7 cm distances).

Conclusion: Based on our results, it would be possible to compare radiobiological effects of various common IMRT techniques and choose the best one regarding to patients anatomical parameters derived from the CT scans.
The Socio-Historical Contexts of Czech Anti-Semitism and Anti-German Sentiments Following the Establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic and their Reflection in Contemporary Caricatures
Authors: Soukupová Blanka
Published: April 2019

The Czechoslovak Republic was created as the national state of the Czechs and Slovaks. Although it was based on the ethnic principle, the new state simultaneously assured relatively extensive rights for its national and religious minorities; in the Czech lands primarily for Czech Germans and the structured Jewish minority (in the new state, Jews could claim Jewish nationality and religion, or only Jewish religion). Although the Jewish minority was ideologically and politically heterogeneous and absolutely loyal to the state, it repeatedly became, not for the first time historically, the target of largely socially and ethnically motivated attacks after the foundation of the Republic. However, their nature was escalated even more by the difficult social conditions following World War I and the generally traumatic experience of the unexpected world war. Contemporary journalism helped disseminate the image of Jews as the main culprits who had caused the world war and were responsible for the general post-war destabilisation and shortages, Jews as non-state building residents of the republic, disloyal, pro-German orientated asocial elements, intensified by the image of Jewish refugees from Galicia and Bukovina, justly or unjustly accused of operating chain businesses. Contemporary journalism also emphasised the traditional image of Czech Germans as the ancient enemy of the Czech nation, currently accused of starting World War I. The fact that most Czech Germans were truly disloyal citizens of the new state after the foundation of the republic (and again in the 1930s) was balanced by the efforts of the Czechoslovak government to “win the Germans over for the new state” and therefore controlled the suppression of anti-German sentiments which were often linked to anti-Jewish sentiments. The text questions the significance of the image of the national enemy at a time in history that saw the destabilisation of existing socio-political relations, undoubtedly represented by the dissolution of the monarchy and the rise of new national states in Central Europe and their contemporary visualisation.
Ukrainian National Schools in Slovakia between 1945 and 1960
Authors: Gajdoš Marian , Konečný Stanislav
Published: April 2019

The authors present the formation and development of the Ukrainian national education system in Slovakia after the World War II, which was determined by its results and new political conditions. The founding of Russian schools in Eastern Slovakia did not correspond to the wishes of part of the Ruthenian population, and their preference was a source of permanent tension. The authors of this article analyse the personnel, material and technical problems related to the development of Ukrainian (Russian) schools as well as the activities of political and state authorities in their solution. The introduction of the Ukrainian language as the language of instruction disrupted the consolidation in this area and increased dissatisfaction in many municipalities. The efforts to persuade people or various administrative obstacles could not prevent the change of the language of instruction from Ukrainian to Slovak.
Street Art and Graffiti in the Context of a City
Authors: Wiesner Adam
Published: April 2019

The paper presents data from interviews conducted in 2006–2007 with four representatives of the Prague street art and graffiti scene who worked in the Czech capital city at the beginning of the 2000s. Part of the article deals with creative activities in the Prague subway where most of the interviewed authors created their works. The author thus offers the perspective of the authors of the Prague street art and graffiti scenes and presents their view of the (il)legal works of art from around ten years ago in the context of the current discourse in social sciences. Over the last twenty years, this discourse has evolved to such an extent that it now enables to see the phenomenon of urban public works of art as a phenomenon full of paradoxes. Graffiti and street art therefore cannot be interpreted only from the point of view of legality or the art of resistance. Their definition must remain sufficiently open, since certain ambivalence, contradiction and ghostliness are characteristic of it equally as of life in a modern global city that is inherently tied to it.
Preliminary data on low peripheral blood oxygen levels induced by physical effort
Authors: Hagiu Bogdan Alexandru , Smîntînică Sebastian George , Turculeț Iulian Dumitru
Published: April 2019

Introduction: Since strength and endurance training has become very popular, we aimed to assess the possibility of hypoxemia determined in peripheral blood during exercise, starting from the hypothesis that a relatively large muscle mass would have a protective effect.

Aim: Hypoxemia can cause serious illness and therefore we consider it useful to investigate the occurrence of this phenomenon during exercises of strength or endurance.

Methods: The preliminary study was conducted on 8 subjects, both trained and untrained. With a Beurer pulse oximeter, heart rate and oxygen saturation of the capillary blood were measured before, during, and at the end of strength, or endurance or endurance combined with strength training.

Results: The results have shown that hypoxemia occurs only under the conditions of high intensity training, which alternates endurance with strength exercises, simultaneously with decreasing heart rate, only in trained subjects and with relatively low muscle mass.

Conclusions: The decrease in oxygen saturation in the peripheral blood occurs simultaneously with that of heart rate and it seems that large muscle mass has a protective effect on oxygen desaturation.
The evolution of the physical effort curve during the physical education and sports lesson
Authors: Ormenisan Vasile Septimiu , Osorhean Maria Daniela Macra , Radu Paul Ovidiu , Rozsnyai Radu Adrian
Published: April 2019

Introduction: In physical and sports education, the effort dosing is essential for achieving the goals and is managed by altering the effort parameters and correlating these with a certain type of rest, respecting the physical norms of the body. According to a study, analyzing and comparison of “The Gauss curve” during a physical education and sport lesson, the expected rising of the effort curve was denied during its first 3 stages. Especially between stage 2 (Preparation of the body for effort) and stage 3 (Selective influence of the locomotive apparatus) there is a decrease of the heart rate. During the sports lessons, we recorded for 10 hours the heart rate of 10 children from 2 different classes of the same grade, 5-A and 5-B, creating one control group (of 5 boys) and one experimental group (5 boys). For the experimental group we recorded for 10 different classes, interchanging stages 2 with 3, more exactly, the stage “Selective influence of the locomotive apparatus” was done before the stage “Preparation of the body for effort”, and for the control group we also recorded for 10 different classes, but they performed the normal sports lesson, following the stages in chronological order.

Objective of the study: The objective of this research was to discover/identify if the effort curve follows an ascendant trajectory during the first 3 stages and a descendant curve during the last 3, by analyzing the heart rate for each stage during the physical education and sports lesson.

Material and methods: The data was collected using 5 - Polar M400 watches and 5 - H7 chest bands, during sport lessons inside the School “Aghiresu Fabricii” from Cluj-Napoca. After the recorded data of the heart rates were analyzed, we observed the differences between the classic sport lesson and the one with the stages 2 and 3 reversed, for the 5th grade subjects.

Results: By comparing the data obtained from the recordings, it was found that there are some differences between the classical physical education lesson and that in which interventions were made in the second and third stages, as a result of the change in heart rate values in the investigated subjects.

Conclusion: Analyzing the two groups in which we had different approaches in the physical education and sports lesson, it is denied that in the classical lesson we have a curve of ascending effort in the first stages. As a result of the reversal of the two-to-three stages, an ascending curve – the Gaussian Curve – is achieved through which an optimal adaptation to effort is made in the fundamental part of the physical education and sports lesson.
Current threats on gene doping - a systematic review
Authors: Oravițan Mihaela
Published: April 2019

Introduction: The publication of the first results regarding the effects of gene therapy on muscle mass and muscle force in rodents has sparked sustained interest from the part of trainers, athletes and other categories of specialists concerning this ethically-questionable revolutionary method, which would increase sporting performance. The purpose of this study is to find out if gene doping poses a real threat in today’s performance sport through synthesizing the main information regarding the ways of using and the screening of the ways in which it has been used by athletes, as well as the measures undertaken in later years in connection to their regulation. The methods employed were the perusal and analysis of information published in research papers (accessed through Clarivate Analytics and Google Scholar) or in other official sources by using the following key words: genetic doping coupled with screening, effects, WADA etc. The results have highlighted the fact that, from the multitude of information obtained, a significant part is based on assumptions and discussions without any palpable evidence; regardless, one may also encounter some papers supported by objective data which made possible the extraction of real and coherent information.

Conclusions: Gene doping remains the latest challenge in the doping matter and it raised the interest of athletes and trainers in order to try to control and manipulate performance parameters and processes such as muscular mass, strength, power, speed, endurance, tissue regeneration and repair, pain perception; the steps that have been made recently for the screening and regulation of gene doping are consistent and ensure a relatively safe environment for clean sport.

There are habits that have been hereditary done in the implementation of marriage in society of Tobing Julu. That is giving ransom money (pangolat) by the male (groom) to the “anak namboru”  (anak namboru: a man who can marry a woman), which is requsted by  “anak namboru” at the time of leaving  woman from her home to her husband's home. The ordinance of this request is done by inhibiting the two brides outside the yard of  woman’s house by preparing a seat and a drink, then invite the two brides to sit together, at the time they will enjoy the drinks that have been provided. But if it is seen and observed in the implementation of customs about ransom money (Pangolat) committed by the community has largely deviated from the actual customary provisions. Based on those, if the habitual of giving  the ransom money (pangolat) in the implementation of marriage in Tobing Julu Kec Huristak Padang Lawas District has done suitable with actual custom, it will not contrary to Islamic law, then the law is allowed or ‘urf saheeh. On the contrary,  if the execution of the ransom money (pangolat) has deviated from the actual custom, so  the law will be included to the fasid ‘Urf or rejected

Supreme Court Circular (SEMA) number 3 in 2014 concerns about inspection of case voluntary of marriage confirmation, it’s a solution for the problems that occur in all districts /cities in Indonesia related to Population Administration which is a mandate of Law Number 23 of 2006 and Presidential Regulation Number 25 of  2008, the circular letter is still a reference for Religious Courts in Indonesia to determine marriages that are not registered by the Office of Religious Affairs. In substantially, SEMA can reveal the problems that’s the individual rights of the Indonesian people about attendance, protection and recognition of the determination of the legal status of a person, but on the other hand SEMA has implications for the existence of Law Number 1 of 1974 which still has a rule and reference in implementation of marriage in Indonesia.

To determine the frequency of anorectal disease associated with chronic constipation in children we conducted an observational, descriptive, retrospective study. One hundred and sixty eight patients were evaluated by anorectal manometry over a 10-year period. The population was divided into organic constipation (OC) and functional constipation (FC) per ROME III criteria. Of those: 95 (56.54%) presented with anorectal disease. The age range was 1-17 (mean 5.3). Eighteen presented with OC and 77 with FC. Acute anal fissure was found in 45 patients (38 FC, 7 OC), chronic anal fissure in 38 (30 FC, 8 OC), perianal erythema in 26 (23 FC, 3 OC), scar tissue was found in 28 (24 FC, 4 OC), anal mucosa congestion in 27 (22 FC, 5 OC), hemorrhoidal disease in 26 (20 FC, 6 OC) and perianal venous dilatation in 21 (16 FC, 5 OC). Anal fissure, perianal erythema, and venous dilation occurred more frequently in patients with an anterior ectopic anus. An anal fissure was present in more than 80% of patients who had puborectalis muscle and external anal sphincter dysfunction. We concluded that the frequency of acquired anorectal disease in children with chronic constipation is high; early diagnosis and treatment are priorities for the successful management of these patients.

Intracranial hemorrhage is considered the most common cause of death in newborns with congenital factor VII (FVII) deficiency. Recombinant activated FVII (rFVIIa) provides specific replacement therapy, however there is limited experience with its neonatal use. We describe our experience about the treatment of intracranial hemorrhage in a newborn with congenital FVII deficiency and emphasize the importance of imaging in asymptomatic patients. She presented with ecchymoses on her skin, no other pathological clinical signs, prolonged PT, normal PTT and FVII activity of 2%. Intracranial hemorrhage was diagnosed while screening for internal bleedings. Treatment with rFVIIa resulted in stabilization and regression of the hematoma.

Keberadaan hama walang sangit (Leptocorisa acuta) sebagai hama utama tanaman padi menyebabkan produksi padi rendah. Pengendalian walang sangit yang biasanya menggunakan insektisida sintetik dinilai kurang efektif karena hama telah resisten terhadap insektisida sintetik. Upaya pengendalian walang sangit dapat dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan bahan yang berasal dari organ tanaman. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menekan aktivitas serangan hama walang sangit. Jalan Parangtritis, Kelurahan Antirogo, Kecamatan Sumbersari, Jember merupakan tempat pelaksanaan penelitian. Penelitian ini disusun dengan RAK (Rancangan Acak Kelompok) Non Faktorial, menggunakan tiga perlakuan dan diulang sembilan kali. Perlakuan meliputi P0 (insektisida sintetik bahan aktif deltametrin 1 ml/L), P1 (konsentrasi ekstrak daun pepaya 55%), dan P2 (konsentrasi ekstrak daun pepaya 75 %). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan P2 (konsentrasi 75 % ekstrak daun pepaya) mampu menekan intensitas serangan walang sangit pada pengamatan minggu ke 3 dan ke 4 dengan rata-rata intensitas serangan 26,31 % sampai 23,17 %. Selain itu, pada perlakuan P2 (75 % ekstrak daun pepaya) berpengaruh pada persentase bulir bernas per sampel dengan rerata 38,09 % dan berat padi per sampel dengan rerata 7,11 g.
