This article explores hospitality in relation to migration within the framework of spatial theory and calling. The material of the article is based on fieldwork carried out in the Nordic borderlands and conducted in relation to a research project exploring Nordic hospitality. The concept and context of the borderland, as well as the methodological development of this project, are based on spatial theory, phenomen-ology and theology. The material discussed are excerpts from a small fieldwork narrative about borderland experiences, and interviews regarding events that took place on the Russian–Norwegian border during the so-called refugee crisis in 2015–16. The article aims at, by means of these narrative excerpts, exploring how conceptualisations of hospitality, by discussing them in relation to the concept of calling from Scandinavian creation theology, may contribute to extensions of both concepts.
Hospitality, ethics of care and the traditionist feminism of Beit Midrash Arevot
Authors: Cohen Angy
Published: November 2020

This is an exploration of women’s tradition of hospitality, the epistemic and moral contribution of their practices of welcoming the other and their historical experience as providers of care. The essay claims that female hospitality has largely consisted of care for others, which challenges a social model based on individualism and self-sufficiency. The argument is rooted in ethnography and Jewish thought and reclaims the home as an ethical space. This text analyses two disturbing and painful stories from the Tanakh that are both examples of the consequences of extreme or absolute hospitality and violence against women. The famous works of Jacques Derrida and Emmanuel Lévinas on hospitality as ethics and hospitality as the feminine are discussed vis-à-vis anthropological and feminist approaches to the connection between the female welcoming of the other and the ethics of care. Finally, the reflections of the members of Beit Midrash Arevot (Jerusalem) shed light on a traditionist feminism that develops an ethics and practice of hospitality as welcoming otherness.

Rapid evolution in sequencing technologies results in generating data on an enormous scale. A focal and main challenge in analyzing data at such a large scale is the alignment of the DNA/Protein sequences, whereby reads are compared to the reference sequences. To find similar sequences, alignment algorithms are used to align a query sequence with the database. Alignment algorithms can be utilized to classify the source of a sequence, to discover similarities among the organisms, or to deduce a progenitor connection. A wide range of algorithms for alignment has been developed in recent years. In this paper, an accurate method of accelerating such algorithms using GPUs has been investigated. A Swiss-Prot database has been processed using GPU implemented Smith-Waterman Sequence Alignment Algorithm. The first step in the process generates the alignment scores but not the actual alignment. Various available alignment tools like ssearch2 are then utilized to align the output file generated during the first step. The performance of GPU-accelerated implementation as compared to other techniques is then evaluated for performance /throughput improvement. Swiss-Prot database was aligned using various alignment tools. NVIDIA TESLA K40 GPU is being utilized for generating the results for this research. This implementation achieves the performance of 44.3 Giga cell updates per second (GCUPS), which is 22.9 times better than its implementation on GTX 275. Performance is improved as the workload of sequences of equal length is equally distributed among all the threads on Multiprocessors of GPU.
José María Arguedas en la Argentina: notas sobre una búsqueda
Authors: Graziano Silvia Marcela
Published: November 2020

En los años sesenta, las novelas de José María Arguedas eran libros de mesa para las librerías de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires Se armaban las pilas de ejemplares, rápidamente se vendían y se volvían a armar. A partir de la publicación de Las venas abiertas de América Latina de Eduardo Galeano, Los ríos profundos y Todas las sangres, en segundo lugar, constituían los textos obligados de un público lector interpelado por lo latinoamericano. Como sabemos, José María fue colaborador del suplemento dominical del diario La Prensa de Buenos Aires entre noviembre de 1938 y junio de 1948. Sin embargo,  sus  vínculos  con  la  Argentina  se  iniciaron  en  1935,  con  su  partici-pación en el concurso literario convocado por la “Revista Americana de Buenos Aires”. Las notas que presento se desprenden de una investigación más amplia, en pleno desarrollo. Por tal razón, algunas de ellas tienen carácter provisional. Estas notas trazan los principales vínculos personales, culturales que Arguedas construyó con artistas e intelectuales argentinos desde 1935 hasta su muerte en 1969.

Authors: Zwayen Dheyaa Mudher , Alhussainy Hussein Yousif
Published: November 2020

Magnetic plaster kiln dust (MPKD) was synthesized as a unique, low-cost composite reused of byproduct plaster kiln dust (PKD), which is considered a source of air pollution. The FESEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR, VSM, and BET tests were used to characterize the MPKD. The characterization revealed that the MPKD was nanotubes non-agglomerated and super-paramagnetic with a high specific surface area (102.7 m2/g). Compared with the specific area of other materials (composites), the MPKD could be considered a promising substance in the field of water/wastewater treatment.

Authors: Ibhaze Augustus Ehiremen , Edeko Frederick O , Orukpe Patience E
Published: November 2020

Visible light communication (VLC) is an upcoming wireless technology for next-generation communication for high-speed data transmission. It has the potential for capacity enhancement due to its characteristic large bandwidth. Concerning signal processing and suitable transceiver design for the VLC application, an amplification-based optical transceiver is proposed in this article. The transmitter consists of a driver and laser diode as the light source, while the receiver contains a photodiode and signal amplifying circuit. The design model is proposed for its simplicity in replacing the trans-impedance and transconductance circuits of the conventional modules by a simple amplification circuit and interface converter. The system was tested at communication distances of 1m and 3.5m using a terminal emulation program for data transfer between two computing devices.

Authors: Naqi Aya Waleed , Al-zuhairi Alaa H.
Published: November 2020

This paper presents the non-linear finite element method to study the behavior of four reinforced rectangular concrete MD beams with web circular openings tested under two-point load. The numerical finite elements methods have been used in a much more practical way to achieve approximate solutions for more complex problems.  The ABAQUS /CAE is chosen to explore the behavior of MD beams. This paper also studies, the effect of both size and shape of the circular apertures of MD beams. The strengthening technique that used in this paper is externally strengthening using CFRP around the opening in the MD beams. The numerical results were compared to the experimental results in terms of ultimate load failure and displacement. The FE results showed a good agreement with experimental results.

Published: November 2020

Introducción y objetivos: Ugni molinae (Myrtaceae) es una especie arbustiva nativa del sur de Chile − donde se la conoce como “murta” o “murtilla” − y de Argentina. Este estudio tiene como objetivo aportar información morfo-arquitectural de U. molinae, y así promover su cultivo e introducción en sistemas productivos de Argentina.

M&M: Se realizaron observaciones de U. molinae a diferentes niveles (planta completa, ejes y brotes anuales) sobre plantas desarrolladas en poblaciones naturales y plantas derivadas de semillas o de enraizamiento de estacas y mantenidas en viveros por cinco años.

Resultados: Los brotes cortos de U. molinae completan su extensión sin ramificarse, mientras que los brotes de mayor longitud pueden ramificarse durante su alargamiento a partir de nudos intermedios y/o distales. El inicio de la floración se produce a partir del segundo al tercer año desde la germinación de una semilla o del enraizamiento de una estaca. La mayoría de las flores se forman a fines de la primavera a partir de nudos basales de brotes en alargamiento. La arquitectura de las plantas cambia desde claramente jerárquica a no-jerárquica en los primeros años de desarrollo. 

Conclusiones: Ugni molinae puede multiplicarse con facilidad a partir del enraizamiento de estacas o de germinación de semillas. El desarrollo de un entrenudo corto asociado a hojas verdes pequeñas es un claro indicador del límite entre brotes anuales sucesivos. Se necesitan estudios más detallados acerca del desarrollo y la productividad de esta especie en la Argentina para evaluar su inclusión en sistemas productivos.
A non-specialist depression care pathway for adolescents living with HIV and transitioning into adult care in Peru: a nested pilot study
Authors: Galea Jerome , Contreras Carmen , Wong Milagros , Ramos Karen , Vargas Valentina , Sanchez Hugo , A. Errea Renato , Lecca Leonid , Franke Molly
Published: November 2020

Adolescents living with HIV (ALWH) are disproportionally
impacted by depression and experience worse HIV outcomes compared to other age
groups. Integrating depression care with HIV care for ALWH during transition to
adult care—an especially crucial time when adolescents frequently disengage
from HIV care—holds promise as a strategy for supporting antiretroviral
adherence among ALWH, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where
>90% of people with HIV live.

In this brief article, we describe a small pilot study of a
simple depression care pathway with psychological first aid delivered by
non-mental health specialists for Peruvian ALWH transitioning to adult care.
Though small, this is the first study to report on depression symptom
prevalence among adolescents living with HIV in Peru and pilot test a
depression care pathway that could inform future integration of mental health
services with HIV care in Peru.

The lighting environment, its metrology and non-visual responses
Authors: Schlangen Luc , Price Luke L. A.
Published: November 2020

International standard CIE S 026:2018 provides lighting professionals and field researchers in chronobiology with a method to characterize light exposures with respect to non-visual photoreception and responses. This standard defines five spectral sensitivity functions that describe optical radiation for its ability to stimulate each of the five α-opic retinal photoreceptor classes that contribute to the non-visual effects of light in humans via intrinsically-photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). The CIE also recently published an open-access α-opic toolbox that calculates all the quantities and ratios of the α-opic metrology in the photometric, radiometric and photon systems, based on either a measured (user-defined) spectrum or selected illuminants (A, D65, E, FL11, LED-B3) built into the toolbox.For a wide variety of ecologically-valid conditions, the melanopsin-based photoreception of ipRGCs has been shown to account for the spectral sensitivity of non-visual responses, from shifting the timing of nocturnal sleep and melatonin secretion to regulating steady-state pupil diameter. Recent findings continue to confirm that the photopigment melanopsin also plays a role in visual responses, and that melanopsin-based photoreception may have a significant influence on brightness perception and aspects of spatial vision. Although knowledge concerning the extent to which rods and cones interact with ipRGCs in driving non-visual effects is still growing, a CIE position statement recently used melanopic equivalent daylight (D65) illuminance in preliminary guidance on applying “proper light at the proper time” to manipulate non-visual responses. Further guidance on this approach is awaited from the participants of the 2nd International Workshop on Circadian and Neurophysiological Photometry (in Manchester, August 2019).The new α-opic metrology of CIE S 026 enables traceable measurements and a formal, quantitative specification of personal light exposures, photic interventions and lighting designs. Here, we apply this metrology to everyday light sources including a natural daylight time series, a range of LED lighting products and, using the toobox, to a smartphone display screen. This collection of examples suggests ways in which variations in the melanopic content of light over the day can be adopted in strategies that use light to support human health and wellbeing.

Published: November 2020

A global, comprehensive and open access listing of approved anticancer drugs does not currently exist. Partial information is available from multiple sources, including regulatory authorities, national formularies and scientific agencies. Many such data sources include drugs used in oncology for supportive care, diagnostic or other non-antineoplastic uses. We describe a methodology to combine and cleanse relevant data from multiple sources to produce an open access database of drugs licensed specifically for therapeutic antineoplastic purposes. The resulting list is provided as an open access database, (http://www.redo-project.org/cancer-drugs-db/), so that it may be used by researchers as input for further research projects, for example literature-based text mining for drug repurposing.
Deep Learning for Early Diabetic Retinopathy Detection
Authors: Vaidya Anurag , Stough Joshua
Published: November 2020

Diabetic retinopathy (DR)— a leading cause of blindness— is a diabetes complication whichcauses damage to retinal blood vessels. DR can be treated non-invasively if diagnosed early enough.However, early diagnosis requires a medical examination, which may not be possible in some demographicalregions. Much previous work has largely focused on determining the presence of DR and not the severity.Thus, the goal of this study was to develop a single neural network that could 1) detect presence or absence of DR2) perform early detection of DR 3) perform multi-class classification on DR severity.
Auxetic femur meta-implants with tuned micromotion distribution
Authors: Ghavidelnia Naeim , Bodaghi  , Hedayati Reza
Published: November 2020

Stress shielding and micromotions are the most significant problems occurring at the bone-implants interface due to mismatch of their mechanical properties. Mechanical metamaterials with their exceptional behavior and characteristics, can provide an opportunity to solve the mismatch of mechanical properties between the bone and implant. In this study, four types of human femoral hip implants (one solid implant and three lattice-structured meta-implants) have been considered for stress and micromotion analysis. For this aim, at the first stage, a well-known auxetic 3D re-entrant structure was studied analytically, and precise closed-form analytical relationships for elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio of the unit cell were obtained. The analytical solution was validated with the numerical solution based on beam elements. At the second stage, three lattice meta-implants made of 3D re-entrant unit cells with positive, negative, and graded distribution of Poisson’s ratio were analyzed and the stress and strain distributions in implant and the micromotion at the bone-implant interface were studied. The results of analytical solution for mechanical properties of the 3D re-entrant structure presented great improvements in comparison with previous analytical studies on this structure. Moreover, the implementation of the re-entrant structure in the hip implant provided very smooth results for stress and strain distributions in the lattice meta-implants and could solve the stress shielding problem which occurred in the solid implant. The lattice meta-implant based on the graded unit cell distribution presented smoother stress-strain distribution in comparison with the other lattice meta-implants. Moreover, the graded lattice meta-implant gave minimum areas of local stress and local strain concentration at the contact region of the implants with the internal bone surfaces. Among all the cases, the graded meta-implant also gave micromotion levels which are the closest to values reported to be desirable for bone growth (40 µm).
Anxiety, gender, and social media consumption predict COVID-19 emotional distress
Authors: Heffner Joseph , Vives Marc-Lluís , FeldmanHall Oriel
Published: November 2020

Fear and anxiety about COVID-19 has swept across the globe. Understanding the factors that contribute to increasing emotional distress regarding the pandemic is paramount—especially as experts warn about rising cases. Despite large amounts of data, it remains unclear which variables are essential for predicting who will be most affected by the distress of future waves. We collected cross-sectional data on a multitude of socio-psychological variables from a sample of 948 United States participants during the early stages of the pandemic. Using a cross-validated hybrid stepwise procedure, we developed a descriptive model of COVID-19 emotional distress. Results reveal that trait anxiety, gender, and social (but not government) media consumption were the strongest predictors of increasing emotional distress. In contrast, commonly associated variables, such as age and political ideology, exhibited much less unique explanatory power. Together, these results can help public health officials identify which populations will be especially vulnerable to experiencing COVID-19 related emotional distress.
McLaughlin et al. (2020) - PRS - Who are the Religious Dones?
Authors: McLaughlin Aaron , Van Tongeren Daryl R. , Teahan Kelly , Davis Don E. , Rice Kenneth G. , DeWall C. Nathan
Published: November 2020

Identifying as nonreligious is increasingly more common in the United States. However, up until recently the field has been slow to understand differences in experience among those who have never been religious and those who have deidentified from religion. In addressing this gap, we sought to first identify differing motivations for deidentifying from religion (pilot study, n ? 153). In our primary study, we sought to explore whether there are different types of religious dones in a cross-cultural sample (United States n = 206; Netherlands n = 288; Hong Kong n = 149) and whether there are meaningful differences in behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes among these different types. Results revealed two distinct profiles of religious dones based on their experience of religious beliefs, behaviors, attitudes, and affiliation: discontinuing religious dones, and still practicing religious dones. This research addressed gaps in understanding nuanced differences among those who formerly but no longer identify as religious, and also offered additional evidence to support the religious residue effect hypothesis in that many religious dones continued to demonstrate religious beliefs and behaviors (Van Tongeren, DeWall, Chen, Sibley, & Bulbulia, 2020). The discontinuing group endorsed less religious behaviors and practices as well as more neutral attitudes toward religion and religious individuals, while the still practicing engaged in more religious and spiritual behaviors and also held more positive attitudes toward religion and religious individuals. Additionally, the still practicing reported more mental health concerns related to affect, anxiety, and depression than did the discontinuing.
The relationship between valence and chills in music: A corpus analysis
Authors: de Fleurian Rémi , Pearce Marcus Thomas
Published: November 2020

Chills experienced in response to music listening have been linked to both happiness and sadness expressed by music. To investigate these conflicting effects of valence on chills, we conducted a computational analysis on a corpus of 988 tracks previously reported to elicit chills, by comparing them with a control set of tracks matched by artist, duration, and popularity. We analysed track-level audio features obtained with the Spotify Web API across the two sets of tracks, resulting in confirmatory findings that tracks which cause chills were sadder than matched tracks, and exploratory findings that they were also slower, less intense, and more instrumental than matched tracks on average. We also found that the audio characteristics of chills tracks were related to the direction and magnitude of the difference in valence between the two sets of tracks. We discuss these results in light of the current literature on valence and chills in music, provide a new interpretation in terms of personality correlates of musical preference, and review the advantages and limitations of our computational approach.
The Application of Machine Learning Techniques for Predicting Results in Team Sport: A Review
Authors: Bunker Rory , Sunsjak Teo
Published: November 2020

Over the past two decades, Machine Learning (ML) techniques have been increasingly utilized for the purpose of predicting outcomes in sport. In this paper, we provide a review of studies that have used ML for predicting results in team sport, covering studies from 1996 to 2019. We sought to answer five key research questions while extensively surveying papers in this field. This paper offers insights into which ML algorithms have tended to be used in this field, as well as those that are beginning to emerge with successful outcomes. Our research highlights defining characteristics of successful studies and identifies robust strategies for evaluating accuracy results in this application domain. Our study considers accuracies that have been achieved across different sports and explores the notion that outcomes of some team sports could be inherently more difficult to predict than others. Finally, our study uncovers common themes of future research directions across all surveyed papers, looking for gaps and opportunities, while proposing recommendations for future researchers in this domain.
Image Segmentation Variants for Semi-Automated Quantitative Microstructural Analysis with ImageJ
Authors: Lau M. , Morgenstern F. , Hübscher R. , Knospe A. , Herrmann M. , Döring M. , Lippmann W.
Published: November 2020

Porosity, pore distribution, mean grain size, and grain size distribution determine the mechanical and physical properties of ceramics. The quantitative structural analysis is therefore essential for the characterization of sintered materials. A semi-automated structural analysis requires a preceding image segmentation step in which all pixels are divided into respective objects to be examined so that they can be clearly assigned to a microstructural constituent. The present work analyzes the watershed transformation, IsoData, and WEKA algorithm image segmentation methods with regard to a grain size and pore characterization using light microscope micrographs of solid-state sintered silicon carbide (SSiC). The open source software ImageJ is used for image segmentation and detection. It does not just provide a quick quantification of the microstructural constituents but can also be extended with a considerable number of plugins, thus providing great flexibility when working on image analysis tasks.

Strong growth of shoots and ripening of grape fruits do not give grounds for claiming that the variety is in accordance with the climatic conditions of a certain area. Only a well-ripe vine can withstand severe winter conditions. The purpose of the study is to determine the degree of maturation of the vine in grape varieties of Odessa breeding grown in the northern part of the Forest-steppe, and to identify among them the most prepared for wintering conditions in the area. The degree of maturation of the vine was determined during 2018–2019 in the autumn before the cover of grape plants by the method of primary fluorescence using a microscope MBS-2 with fluorescent illuminator OI-18 and by the method of N. Matuzok. Studies have shown that the degree of ripening of the grapevine depends on the weather conditions during the growing season and varietal characteristics of the plants. Weather conditions during the years of study contributed to the good maturation of the shoots of grapes of all varieties except Kometa and Zahadka. The first had a characteristic brown color of the mature bark along the entire length of the shoot. When bending the vine in its upper part of the characteristic cracking of the bark was not in the varieties Kometa, Zahadka, Yarylo and Muskat odeskyi. The highest degree of ripening of shoot tissues was noted in the lower zone of the vine in the Aromatnyi, Kardyshakh, Kishmish tayirovskij. In the middle zone of shoots, the highest degree of maturation of the felema was found in the variety Kardyshakh, and in the upper part of the shoot, in the variety Aromatnyi. The highest conditional coefficient of maturation (Kv) of the tissues of the vine in the fifth internode is defined in the varieties Aromatnyi and Kyshmysh tairovskyi (0.90), the mean in the variety Kardyshakh (0.88), and the lowest in the variety Kometa (0.56). Based on the data obtained from the results of complex studies, it was found that the varieties Aromatnyi, Kyshmysh tairovskyi and Kardyshakh are the most prepared for wintering in the northern part of the Forest-steppe.

Twofoldness in Moving Images
Authors: Fingerhut Joerg
Published: November 2020

When watching a film, we areseeing-inmoving images. Film’s visual experience is thereforetwofold, encompassing a recognitional (the scene presented, the story told, etc.) and a configurational fold (editing, camera movement, etc.). Although some researchers endorse twofoldness with respect to film, there is also significant resistance and misrepresentations of its very nature. This paper argues that the concept is central to an understanding of the basic apprehension and the aesthetic appreciation of film. It demonstrates how twofoldness could play a more substantial role in a new cognitive film theory and a naturalized aesthetics of film. By discussing recent theories of our motor engagement with cinema it shows how referencing to the interplay of two filmic folds could inform such a theory.
A new research agenda to move beyond (a)gendered regions
Authors: Amilhat Szary Anne-Laure
Published: November 2020

Abstract: Based on an extensive bibliographical review of the region–gender nexus, the article first assesses the quasi inexistence of gender issues in regional journals and the symmetrical absence of regional issues in gender publications. In so doing, it establishes the specific positioning of the Regions & Cohesion journal within that broad panorama. In launching an agenda to reverse that trend, the text then sets to offer two goals for future research and publication: (1) gendering the people, feminizing the regions; (2) queering the regions: the transborder condition as an inspiration.

Resumen: Con base en una extensa revisión bibliográfica de la producción científica sobre el vínculo entre región y género, este artículo comienza estableciendo la virtual inexistencia de temas de género en las publicaciones científicas de estudios regionales y la simétrica ausencia de los temas regionales en las revistas de estudios de género. Al hacerlo, establece la posición específica de la revista Regions & Cohesion dentro de este amplio panorama. El texto procede a proveer las bases de un programa encaminado a invertir esta tendencia, proponiendo dos objetivos para las investigaciones y publicaciones futuras: (1) dar un género a “la gente” que compone las regiones, feminizándolas; (2): “queering the regions”, analizar las regiones con lentes “queer”, observando la condición transfronteriza como fuente de inspiración en este campo.

Résumé: Sur la base d’une analyse bibliographique approfondie de la production scientifique concernant les liens entre région et genre, cet article commence par établir la quasi-inexistence des questions de genre dans les publications scientifiques en études régionales et celle, symétrique, des questions régionales dans les revues en études de genre. Ce faisant, il établit la position spécifique de la revue Regions & Cohesion au sein de ce panorama très large. Le texte procède enfin à poser les fondations d’un agenda destiné à inverser cette tendance et ce, en proposant deux objectifs pour les recherches et les publications à venir : 1/ Donner un genre aux « gens » qui composent les régions en les féminisant : 2/ « Queering the regions », c’est-à-dire faire passer les régions au crible d’une grille de lecture « queer », l’analyse de la condition transfrontière pouvant servir de source d’inspiration dans ce domaine.
Whither the people in the ASEAN Community?
Authors: Tan See Seng
Published: November 2020

Abstract:The longstanding effort to develop a people-based regionalism in Southeast Asia has been shaped by an inherent tension between the liberal inclination to privilege the individual and the community under formation, on the one hand, and the realist insistence on the primacy of the state, on the other. This article explores the conditions and constraints affecting ASEAN’s progress in remaking Southeast Asia into a people-focused and caring community in three areas: disaster management, development, and democratization (understood here as human rights). Arguably, the persistent gap in Southeast Asia between aspiration and expectation is determined less by political ideology than by the pragmatic responses of ASEAN member states to the forces of nationalism and protectionism, as well as their respective sense of local and regional responsibility.

Resumen:El esfuerzo histórico para desarrollar un regionalismo basado en las personas del sudeste de Asia ha estado marcado por una tensión fundamental entre la inclinación liberal de privilegiar el individuo y la comunidad y la insistencia realista sobre la primacía del estado. Este artículo explora las condiciones y limitaciones que afectan el progreso de la ASEAN en la reestructuración de Asia sudoriental en una comunidad centrada en el cuidado de las personas en: gestión de desastres, desarrollo y democratización (i.e., derechos humanos). La brecha persistente en el sudeste asiático entre la aspiración y la expectativa está determinada por las respuestas pragmáticas de los miembros de la ASEAN sometidos a las fuerzas del nacionalismo y proteccionismo, así como su respectivo sentido de responsabilidad local y regional.

Résumé:L’effort historique pour développer un régionalisme fondé sur les peuples en Asie du Sud-Est a été marqué par une tension fondamentale entre l’inclination libérale qui privilégie, d’une part, l’individu et la communauté et, d’autre part, l’insistance réaliste sur la primauté de l’État. Cet article explore les conditions et les contraintes qui nuisent aux progrès de l’ANASE dans le cadre d’une refonte de l’Asie du Sud-Est en une communauté centrée et attentive aux peuples dans trois domaines : la gestion des désastres, le développement et la démocratisation (en référence aux droits humains). Le fossé persistant en Asie du Sud-Est entre les aspirations et les attentes est vraisemblablement moins déterminé par l’idéologie politique que par les réponses pragmatiques des États membres de l’ANASE soumis aux forces du nationalisme et du protectionnisme ainsi que par leur sens respectif de la responsabilité locale et régionale.

Their struggle with the regime of "authoritarian democracy" is being implemented as part of the development of the social movement for democratic transformation in the country.
