The widespread use of road transport dictates the need to create new porous permeable catalytic filter materials with desired properties for cleaning exhaust gases of engines. Recently, composite cermet has taken the lead among catalytic materials for exhaust gas cleaning. When using catalytic materials for cleaning exhaust gases, an unsolved problem now is the problem of substitution in rare-earth metals. In this regard, research aimed at creating new porous permeable catalytic materials with partial or full replacement of materials with rare-earth metals are relevant. Using a method of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), a heat-resistant (temperature range 400 – 723 K) porous permeable metal-ceramic material (PPMM) with catalytic properties was obtained. In the basis of the charge, powders of scale of alloyed steel, aluminum, natural mineral ilmenite, as well as oxides of aluminum and chromium are used. The basis of the material is the backbone of cermet, reduced iron, chromium oxides and titanium. The physicomechanical and operational properties of the materials obtained were investigated. Increasing the concentration in the mixture of ilmenite by weight increases the pore diameter, porosity, specific surface area; leads to a reduction in harmful exhaust emissions. Increasing the concentration in the mixture of ilmenite by weight increases the pore diameter, porosity, specific surface area; leads to a reduction in harmful exhaust emissions. It is shown that the material obtained is suitable for the catalytic purification of diesel gases from nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and soot. Neutralizing filters made of materials with additives of the natural mineral ilmenite possess catalytic properties and can be successfully used in cleaning the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines.

In the present study, using the improved technology, high-quality vacuum-tight foils 10 – 20 µm in thickness were prepared from effective Pd – 6 wt. % In – 0.5 wt. % Ru, Pd – 6 wt. % Ru, Pd – 40  wt. % Cu palladium alloys. Using a combination of deformation and annealing modes, the Pd – 40 wt. % Cu alloy foil consisting of the ordered β-phase (97%) with the CsCl-type structure that exhibits the maximum hydrogen permeability in this system. The mechanical properties and hydrogen permeability of the prepared foils were studied and compared with those of alloy foils 50 µm thickness. The thermal concentration dilatation in hydrogen was studied at different temperatures. Data on the dilatation of palladium-based membranes are of primary importance for designing membrane filtering elements and selection of optimal conditions for their operation, since these data determine the operation life membranes. Based on the Pd – 6 wt. % In – 0.5 wt. % Ru alloy, the Pd – 6 wt. % In – 0.5 wt. % Ru – 1.25 wt. % Co alloy was developed; it is characterized by increased strength characteristics and lower α ↔ β hydride transition temperature.

Application of fuller materials for creation of the higt-strength coatings on part operating under abrasive wear is one of the promising ways of the resources increasing of road construction, emergency rescue and other types of equipment. However, in their creation process does not always comply with the environmental safety requirements, which leads to negative consequences for the natural environment and human health. The article presents the research work results of authors team created a coated powder by chemical vapor deposition of metal-organic compounds on the alumina particles surface and its applications for the wear-resistant coatings. A method of applying iron-tungsten coating on powder technical ceramics by thermal decomposition of vapors, containing iron pentacarbonyl and tungsten hexacarbonyl, is characterised by sequential application on powder particles of adhesion layer from mixture of iron pentacarbonyl and carbon monoxide in volume ratio of vapours1:5 at temperature of their thermal decomposition of 250 °С, and then surface layer from mixture of tungsten hexacarbonyl and carbon monoxide in volume ratio of vapours1:5 at temperature of their thermal decomposition of 800 °С. Metallization powder materials are carried out in a closed cycle, excluding contact workers with toxic substances and emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere, which ensures the safety of the production process. Plasma coatings obtained with the necessary physical and mechanical properties are obtained, which proves the effectiveness of the employed approach and promotes resource increase of the machines elements, subjected to abrasive wear.

The xerogels in the system 0.88 mol.% ZrO2 − 0.12 mol.% CeO2 were obtained by the method of coprecipitation in a neutral (pH = 7) and slightly alkaline (pH = 9) medium under the influence of ultrasound with the size of the agglomerates 70 – 230 nm. It is shown that the coprecipitation of hydroxides of zirconium and cerium at pH = 9 with the use of ultrasonic treatment facilitates the formation of a primary crystal is symbolic of the particles in the xerogel, whose size is ~ 5 nm, whereas the xerogel synthesized in a neutral environment consists only of the x-ray amorphous phase. The effect of pH-precipitation on deposition processes of dehydration of the xerogels and crystallization solid solution based on zirconia oxide in the metastable pseudocubic modification (с′-ZrO2) was discovered. It was found that in the temperature range 500 – 800 °C there is a phase transition с′-ZrO2 → t-ZrO2, the size of the crystallites of the formed tetragonal solid solutions is 8 and 11 nm. The method of low-temperature nitrogen adsorption were investigated dispersion properties and characteristics of the pore structure of the powders of the solid solution Zr0.88Ce0.12O2. It is determined that the specific surface area of t-ZrO2 samples obtained after firing at 800 °C is 117 and 178 m2/g, the total pore volume reaches 0.300 − 0.325 cm3/g, the pore size distribution is monomodal and is in the range of 2 − 8 nm. The effect of thermal “aging” at a temperature of 800 °C (40 h) on the structure and dispersion of the solid solution t-ZrO2 powders was studied.

El 6 de septiembre nos dejó el maestro Wáshington Delgado. Su partida resulta aún más dolorosa porque se hallaba en plena actividad: dos semanas antes había pronunciado una amenísima conferencia en nuestra Facultad (reproducida más adelante en este número), y además dos libros suyos estaban prontos a entrar en circulación. General es el pesar que esta pérdida ha provocado en nuestra comunidad académica y en los medios intelectuales y artísticos, y es que Wáshington Delgado fue una persona muy querida, que gozaba de un aprecio unánime, lo cual es sin duda una rara virtud. Como profesor, despertaba el entusiasmo de los estudiantes, era el profesor motivador por excelencia, y todos los que fueron sus alumnos podrían evocar multitud de anécdotas que confirman este aserto. Poseía el don de la elocuencia, una enorme facilidad expresiva que hacía de él, además de un profesor estimulante, un excelente conferencista y un eximio conversador. Por ello su magisterio se extendió fuera de las aulas, y fue constante en el estímulo generoso a los jóvenes.

Mimesis
Authors: Feddern Stefan , Kablitz Andreas
Published: November 2020

This article starts off from the observation of the deeply polysemic character of the term mimesis in current literary studies. On the one hand, it is used to denote a poetics of imitation which was mainly derived from the Poetics of Aristotle and was to become the predominant conception of poetry in early modern times until the advent of Romanticism. On the other hand, besides this historical meaning, mimesis has, at the same time, a systematic significance. It refers to any poetics that defines poetry as a specific representation of reality. In this sense, the poetics of realism is quite unanimously considered to be a paradigmatic example of mimetic literature. Our attempt to bring together both sides of the notion of mimesis, to connect its systematic and its historical meaning, is based on a theoretical approach developed in the first part of our study by a criticism of Wittgenstein’s notion of “family resemblance” (Familienähnlichkeit). In the second part, this theoretical model is used for an analysis of the conception of mimesis in Plato’s Republic, Aristotle’s Poetics, and Horace’s Ars poetica.

Authors: Uyua Noelia M. , Sala Silvia E. , Santinelli Norma H. , Sastre Alicia V. , Cortés Juan I. , Rogel Bibiana , De Carli Pedro
Published: November 2020

Background and aims: In 2013, blooms similar to those produced by Didymosphenia geminata (Lyngbye) M. Schmidt around the world, were detected in the Grande River basin, Tierra del Fuego province, and in 2014 in de las Vueltas River in Santa Cruz province. The aim of this paper is to analyze the valve morphology and morphometry of these materials to establish if they correspond to D. geminata or to other species of the genus that is producing the massive growth in southern Patagonia.
M&M: Samples were collected at Grande River in 2013 and 2015 and, in de las Vueltas River in 2015 and 2016. Samples were analyzed with light and electron microscopy. For morphometric analyses 100 specimens from each sample were measured and statistical analyses were carried out using the R statistical package.
Results: The studied populations have the same fine morphology described for other populations collected in Patagonia. Nevertheless, in some sampling sites from Santa Cruz province, we found a morphotype with a markedly smaller size, subcapitated poles, little marked constrictions of the poles, a broad central area (relative to cell size) and 1 to 3 stigmata, that was never reported in South America.
Conclusions: The studied populations correspond to D. geminata ssp. geminata Metzeltin & Lange-Bertalot. From a morphological point of view the smaller morphotype present in Santa Cruz belongs to the same subspecies but can be easily misidentified during the routine monitoring programs carried out with light microscope due its size and valve outline.

Published: November 2020

Infodemics in the COVID-19 pandemic situation biases information, and the community's need for the correctness of information becomes increasingly difficult to fulfill. Misinformation and disinformation circulate widely on social media, including instant chat applications. The research problem's formulation is how the contents of COVID-19 misinformation and disinformation that occurred on social media in Indonesia for the period January 20 - March 9, 2020. The research method used is quantitative with a content analysis approach. All misinformation and disinformation cases on social media are taken from cases that have been fact-checked by Mafindo (Indonesian Anti-Defamation Society) in a predetermined period. In total, there were 69 cases of misinformation and disinformation. As a result, there are three main conclusions in this study. First, false context and misleading content are the most common types of misinformation and disinformation. Second, the producers and distributors of these messages are individuals with Facebook and WhatsApp. Third, these findings indicate a tendency for the production and distribution of misinformation and disinformation messages to be carried out by individuals. The high accessibility of the community facilitates this to communication media.

Published: November 2020

COVID-19 pandemic, which is now happening worldwide, has a massive impact on many parts of our daily life. One of the affected aspects is education. The education system during the COVID-19 pandemic should fit the health protocol, which has been recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. Both students and lecturers are demanded to keep conducting the learning process virtually in their own houses by online learning. However, online learning support facilities used in UPN "Veteran" Yogyakarta University are still lacking and not centralized yet; thus, every department needs to prepare their needs autonomously. Geological Engineering Department surveyed supporting facilities needs as an essential preparation of the online academic system. The survey was conducted through an online form and was filled by 273 respondents who are active students of the Geological Engineering Department, (1) UPN "Veteran" Yogyakarta University. Almost 85% of the respondents expect learning information system which covers attendance list, announcement, and online interactive media, which is mobile-based in order to be easy to access and use. Based on the result of the survey, Geological Engineering Department is planning to produce an Android-based app with an attendance list and social media features inside. The social media feature is able to be used by students and lecturers to interact with one another, especially discussing online learning.

Research trends in local autonomy studies in Japan: text analyses of article titles in the Journal of Urban Management and Local Government Research
Authors: Moteki Yasutoshi
Published: November 2020

Research trends in studies of local governments in Japan have been analysed quantitatively using text-mining methods on approximately 35 years of article titles from the Journal of Urban Management and Local Government Research, from its first issue (1985) to the vol. 35, no. 1 (2020). Co-occurrence network analysis and correspondence analysis were conducted to determine the changes in research interests during the target period. Substantially more research on accounting, finance, management, and reform was seen in the target journal after 1980. The extracted words prefecture, city, case, evaluation, and analysis show the features of local government studies in Japan after the enactment of decentralization reforms in March 2000.
 The author interprets the first dimension of the configuration figures of correspondence analysis as an axis of accounting and time; the second dimension concerns financial accountability; and the third dimension concerns public enterprise. The publisher association of the journal has a large number of members who specialise in accounting and local finance, including certified public accountants and tax accountants, and the characteristics of such a membership structure are reflected in these results.
Electrospinning of Gelatin Nanofibers: Effect of gelatin concentration on chemical, morphological and degradation characteristics
Authors: YIKAR Esra , DEMİR Didem , BÖLGEN Nimet
Published: November 2020

Electrospinning is a well-known technique that produces polymeric nanofibers using an electrically driven jet of a polymer solution. Due to unique properties such as high surface area, porosity, tensile strength and extensibility of the materials produced by electrospinning, several applications of them in protective clothing, space technology, filtration and tissue engineering have been proposed and investigated. In this study; we prepared gelatin nanofibrous scaffolds by using the electrospinning method for tissue engineering applications. The beads-free, smooth and uniform gelatin nanofibers were successfully fabricated. The blend solutions at different weight ratios were prepared by dissolving gelatin in a solvent mixture containing formic acid, dichloromethane and acetic acid. The fabricated nanofibers were chemically crosslinked by glutaraldehyde vapor. The crosslinked nanofibrous scaffolds were characterized by chemical and morphological analysis. The morphology and size distribution curves of nanofibers were determined by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chemical structure of nanofibers was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The strategy based on electrospinning of gelatin nanofibers can be used to develop new biomimetic materials for tissue engineering applications.
Coefficients of Restitution in Normal Adhesive Impact between Smooth and Rough Elastic Bodies
Authors:   Technical University Berlin, Berlin, Germany, Popov Valentin L.
Published: November 2020

n 1975, Fuller and Tabor have shown that roughness can destroy macroscopic adhesion. This means that in spite of the presence of adhesion at the microscopic scale, the macrosopic force of adhesion vanishes. The mechanism of vanishing macroscopic adhesion is very simple: during approach of elastic bodies, asperities are elastically deformed so strongly that after unloading they destroy the microscopic adhesive junctions. However, both in the moment of formation of microscopic adhesive junctions in the loading phase and their destruction during unloading, mechanical energy disappears. This means that the microscopic adhesion makes the contact dissipative even if there is no macroscopic force of adhesion. In particular, the force-distance dependency during indentation and pull-off do not coincide with each other showing some "adhesive hysteresis". When a ball rolls on such rough surface, there will be a final energy dissipation due to formation of a new contact at the frontline of the contact and its destruction at the rear part. Thus, microscopic adhesion will lead to appearance of rolling friction in an apparently non-adhesive contact. In the present paper, we calculate the approach and pull-off dependencies of force on distance, the dissipated energy in one loading-unloading cycle and estimate the force of rolling friction due to microscopic adhesion.

p-Curve Analysis of the Taylor Aggression Paradigm: Estimating Evidentiary Value and Statistical Power Across 50 Years of Research
Authors: West Samuel James , Hyatt Courtland , Miller Josh , Chester David
Published: November 2020

The overall reliability or evidentiary value of any body of literature is established in part by ruling out publication bias for any observed effects. Questionable research practices have potentially undermined the evidentiary value of commonly-used research paradigms in psychological science. Subsequently, the evidentiary value of these common methodologies remains uncertain. To quantify the severity of these issues in the literature, we selected the Taylor Aggression Paradigm (TAP) as a case study and submitted 170 hypothesis-tests spanning over 50 years of research to a preregistered p-curve analysis. The TAP literature (N = 24,685) demonstrated significant evidentiary value but yielded a small average effect size (d = .29) and inadequate power (38%). Main effects demonstrated greater evidentiary value, power, and effect sizes than interactions. Studies that tested the effects of measured traits did not differ in evidentiary value or power to those that tested the effects of experimentally-manipulated states. Exploratory analyses revealed that evidentiary value, statistical power, and effect sizes have improved over time. We provide recommendations for researchers who seek to maximize the evidentiary value of their psychological measures.
Transmission of societal stereotypes to individual-level prejudice through instrumental learning
Authors: Schultner David , Stillerman Benjamin , Lindström Björn , Hackel Leor M , Hagen Damaris , Jostmann Nils , Amodio David
Published: November 2020

How are societal stereotypes transmitted to individual-level group preferences? We propose that exposure to a stereotype, regardless of whether one agrees with it, can shape how one experiences and learns from interactions with members of the stereotyped group, such that it induces individual-level prejudice—a process involving the interplay of semantic knowledge and instrumental learning. In a series of experiments, participants interacted with players from two groups, described with either positive or negative stereotypes, in a reinforcement learning task presented as a money sharing game. Although players’ actual sharing rates were equated between groups, participants formed more positive reward associations with players from positively-stereotyped than negatively-stereotyped groups. This effect persisted even when stereotypes were described as unreliable and participants were instructed to ignore them. Computational modeling revealed that this preference was due to stereotype effects on priors regarding group members’ behavior as well as the learning rates through which reward associations were updated in response to player feedback. We then show that these stereotype-induced preferences, once formed, spread unwittingly to others who observe these interactions, illustrating a pathway through which stereotypes may be transmitted and propagated between society and individuals. By identifying a mechanism through which stereotype knowledge can bypass explicit beliefs to induce prejudice, via the interplay of semantic and instrumental learning processes, these findings illuminate the impact of stereotype messages on the formation and propagation of individual-level prejudice.

Published: November 2020

COVID-19, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), was first identified in China in late 2019 and since then, this disease has become a pandemic affecting many countries across the globe. Due to this outbreak, many researchers have been diligently investigating this disease for the establishment of better methods of its treatment and control. Evidence from research has led to a plethora of valuable but uncertain information on the modes of transmission of COVID-19 and the mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 establishes infections in targeted tissues. It is now better understood that in this disease, SARS-CoV-2 gains entrance into cells by specifically binding ACE-2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2); ACE-2 serves as a potential receptor for the virus. The lungs, in addition to many other organs and tissues, express ACE-2 in varying degrees. Therefore, this review will examine the role of ACE-2 in COVID-19 and the secondary effects that COVID-19 has on organs that express ACE-2. To this end, it will assist in establishing the relationship between the ACE-2 receptor and SARS-CoV-2, bringing to the forefront the correlation between the symptomatology presentation, as well as the severity of infections experienced with COVID-19. Given this, it may even provide an avenue for the generation of treatment, or create a platform for the enhanced knowledge of this novel virus, and therefore, control, and maybe unravel the mystery for long term complications.

Authors: Islam Md. Tazul , Mozaffor Miliva , Islam Md. Ehsanul , Roy Heera Lal
Published: November 2020

Background and Aims: Controversies prevail on association of vitamin D level and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The present study aims to compare serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (vitamin D3) level and fasting blood glucose in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and healthy subjects and evaluate their association in both groups.

Methods: This cross-sectional, observational study was done in Department of Biochemistry, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College, Bangladesh, between July 2015 and June 2016. The patients were selected from medicine out-patients departments (MOPD) of Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital and Sylhet Diabetic Hospital, Bangladesh. A total of 135 study subjects were selected following convenient consecutive sampling technique. They grouped into case (Group A) i.e. 65 patients having type 2 diabetes mellitus, and control (Group B), i.e. 70 patients apparently healthy subjects (non-diabetic). Initial evaluation of the patients done by history and clinical examination was recorded in the preformed data collection sheet. Fasting blood glucose was measured by enzymatic method, while serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (vitamin D3) was measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA).

Results: The mean age of 42.02±3.29 years in case (Group A); while 41.35±3.97 years in control (Group B). There were 33 male (50.76%) and 32 (49.23%) female in group A, while 35 (50%) male and 35 (50%) female in group B. No significant age difference was observed between the groups (p=0.284). Serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol in cases (Group A) was 55.73±9.02 ng/ml and in controls (Group B) 53.77±10.86 ng/ ml (p=0.255). Fasting blood glucose was 161.98±62.47 mg/dl in cases (Group A) and 86.92±15.74 mg/dl in controls (Group B) (p<0.001). No correlation was found between serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and fasting blood glucose in any group: in type 2 diabetic patients (case group) (r=0.010, p=0.943), in healthy controls (r=0.186, p=0.122), and all study subjects together (r=0.095, p=0.268).

Conclusions: Our data suggest that serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (vitamin D3) was within optimum level in both type 2 diabetic patients and healthy individuals. However, no correlation was found between serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and fasting blood glucose in any group.
Missing in Action: Indigenous Knowledge Systems in Evaluation of Comprehensive Community Initiatives
Authors: Gillespie Judy , Albert Jason , Grant Shelaine , MacKeigan Tanya
Published: November 2020

Abstract: Comprehensive community initiatives (CCIs) coordinate social and structural change across multiple community sectors and represent promising approaches to complex social problems. Nowhere is this more relevant than for Indigenous children and families. However, strategies to evaluate initiatives to enhance Indigenous well-being must be meaningful to Indigenous communities. A review of literature regarding evaluation of CCIs identified various principles, case studies, methodologies, and methods grounded in Western ways of knowing and approaches to research. Research that engages with Indigenous-led comprehensive community initiatives is needed to enhance evaluation practices for CCIs that enables resurgence of Indigenous traditions and worldviews.
Male Contraceptive Behavior in Rajshahi District of Bangladesh
Authors: R Mosiur , I Rafiqul , A Matin
Published: November 2020

This article examines the actual scenario of male involvement either as a user of contraceptive methods or supportive reproductive partners of women on contraceptive use in Rajshahi district of Bangladesh. The analysis shows that, knowledge and use of contraception are low in our study area. Comparative figures of contraceptive practice between men and women found a large disparity. Findings reveal that the user rate of all male contraceptive methods (e.g., condom at 17 percent) is still low compared to that of female methods (pill at 33.8 percent), which shows that men like to impose contra ceptive responsibility on women. Identification of socio-economic and demographic differentials affecting contraceptive behavior of men is performed through the technique of logistic regression. This paper elucidates that education, residence, fertility preference, mass media facility and knowledge about AIDS are the significant factors to influence contraceptive practices among men. Regarding the factors shunning the contraceptive practice we found that men’s opposition to use contraceptive methods is as most significant. The next reason for not using is related to contraceptive method.

Neste artigo, retornamos a essa proposta de codificação e buscamos expandi-la, considerando, em seu decorrer, a proposta de Acedo-Matellán (2016). Propomos que os predicados do latim cujos verbos são compostos por raiz e por preposição incorporada como prefixo são composicionais; e que tais preposições contribuam com seu significado regular, encontrado em outros contextos.
A Faculdade da Linguagem: um objeto biológico, uma janela para a mente e uma ponte entre disciplinas
Authors: Gallego Ángel J. , Chomsky Noam
Published: November 2020

Este trabalho fornece um resumo geral de algumas das questões atuais no campo da Gramática Gerativa, o estudo da Faculdade da Linguagem humana. Revisamos algumas das ideias-chave que essa abordagem da linguagem propõe e desenvolve, concentrando-se nas propriedades básicas da linguagem e suas interações com outros sistemas. Também apontamos algumas das possibilidades que uma abordagem biológica da linguagem oferece para construir pontes entre a Linguística e outras disciplinas científicas. Ao longo do artigo, procuramos levar em consideração às vantagens que a incorporação de algumas dessas ideias teria para o Ensino Secundário - não apenas pelo valor potencialmente intrínseco do conhecimento linguístico, mas também pelo impacto dessa abordagem em habilidades mais gerais, como observar, descrever e comparar dados, formular generalizações ou oferecer argumentos empíricos.Tradução: Aniela Improta França e Marcus Maia

De Berlin à la conquête du monde
Authors: de Tapia Stéphane
Published: November 2020

Abstract: Döner-kebab became the emblem of Turkish gastronomy. It is nowadays present in all the world. In fact, this culinary preparation is somewhat new in Turkey, and in its worldwide form of sandwich, it appears in Germany with the immigration of Turkish workers, and being offered by the Turks, the Greeks and the Lebanese cooks. However, it is not known by the other Turkic countries, except if imported by Turkish migrants. Turkish Gastronoms and Gourmets are often sad to see that this speciality became the symbol of Turkish cuisine in foreign countries.

Résumé : Le döner-kebab est devenu la spécialité emblématique de la cuisine turque, aujourd’hui consommé dans le monde entier. En réalité, c’est une préparation apparue relativement récemment en Turquie et sous sa forme internationale avec l’immigration turque en Allemagne. Il est revendiqué par les Turcs, les Grecs ou les Libanais, mais reste étranger aux autres pays turcophones, sauf importation récente apportée par les immigrés turcs. Gastronomes et gourmets turcs sont souvent attristés de voir que cette préparation est devenue le symbole de la cuisine turque à l’étranger.

Published: November 2020

This research aimed to know the concept of zakatÂ policy of Umar Bin Abdul Aziz in the object of zakat, zakatÂ collection, and its distribution; and the its relevance to zakatÂ implementation in Indonesia. This study employed qualitative method with content analysis, and its approach was juridical, philosophical, and sociological. Research data sources included primary data in the form of results from interviewing zakatÂ experts, and secondary data were books, jounals, and others. Research results show that : (1) Umar Bin Abdul Azizâ€™s policy in terms of zakatÂ management can be classified into two parts; first, Umar's policy on addition of zakatÂ objects including employee salaries, re-found lost assets, and several types of agricultural and fishery products; second, Umar's policy in terms of zakat, either regulatory reformation, concept of centralized management, or strict and anti-corruption regulations; (2) in the context of zakatÂ in Indonesia, several policies of Umar Bin Abdul Aziz had been stated in Law number 23 year 2011 concerning zakatÂ management which among them is integrated zakatÂ management as an instrument in alleviating poverty in Indonesia; and (3) Umar bin Abdul Aziz's policy in zakatÂ has relevance to a number of zakatÂ practices in Indonesia such as zakatÂ of profession, corporation, property, as well as assets and other developing businesses, and the allocation of zakatÂ funds for educational scholarships and assistance for survivors of natural disasters. This research recommends that maximizing the collection of zakatÂ funds can be done with rules and sanctions that take hold of those who violate zakat management regulation.

Authors: Basuki Surjadi
Published: November 2020

Kebijakan pemeriksaan impor â€œpost borderâ€ yang berlaku sejak 1 Februari 2018 bertujuan memermudah prosedur kepabeanan bagi masuknya barang-Â Â  barang impor yang sebagian diantaranya menjadi bahan baku utama bagi produk-produk industri domestik. Kesesuaian antara tujuan suatu kebijakan dengan pencapaian di lapangan merupakan sesuatu yang harus selalu dipantau. Studi ini bertujuan mengevaluasi efektivitas pemeriksaan impor di post border dalam menciptakan kemudahan serta kepastian bagi para pelaku usaha. Mengingat kebijakan ini dituangkan dalam bentuk serangkaian regulasi, maka metode yang dipilih adalah Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA). Studi ini menemukan adanya ketergesa-gesaan dalam penyusunan regulasi-regulasi tersebut sehingga menimbulkan sejumlah dampak yang tidak diinginkan. Ketiadaan standar dalam memilih produk yang dipostborderkan merupakan isu krusial yang harus segera dijawab dalam bentuk revisi kebijakan

They were subsequently made more specifi c and acquired psychological traits.
«To Combine Philological Studies with Contributing to the Journans…» (B. M. Eikhenbaum in the Weekly "Zaprosy Zhizni" in 1912). Appendix. The List of B. M. Eikhenbaum’s Contributions to Zaprosy Zhizni (1912)
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Orlova E. I. ,   A. M. Gorky Institute of World Literature, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: November 2020

The article is devoted to the beginning of B.M. Eichenbaum’s career as a literary critic. In 1912, he cooperated with the weekly "Zaprosy Zhizni" («Vital Aspirations») which published 7 of his articles. The author analyses Eikhenbaum’s style and way of thinking. He believed that research work could be productively supplemented with literary criticism — he saw an ideal way of life for himself in combining philological studies with journal work. In this period, which was still largely determined by Symbolism, the book of A. Bely, one can see some features of the future founder of the morphological school.

The Non-Humanist Vector in 20th-Century Russian Literature
Authors:   University College London, Rubins Maria
Published: November 2020

The article focuses on a corpus of narratives written in various cultural and historical contexts both within metropolitan Russia and in diaspora, which engaged with the process of dehumanization of the world and mankind and the inadequacy of Russian literature’s traditional arsenal to represent the anthropological experience of the 20th century. These texts revised the humanist pathos of Russian culture, the European legacy and Eurocentric discourse, and created an alternative conceptual and aesthetic language that became particularly relevant for contemporary Russian literature.
