Średniowieczne malowidło na wschodniej ścianie prezbiterium kościoła św. Jakuba w Toruniu. Transmedialna struktura obrazowa?
Authors: Błażejewska Anna , Pilecka Elżbieta
Published: August 2020

Niedawne prace konserwatorskie w prezbiterium kościoła św. Jakuba w Toruniu ujawniły kilka szczegółów wcześniej słabo czytelnego malowidła z trzeciej ćwierci XIV wieku. Owe szczegóły rzuciły ciekawe światło na jego ikonografii ę i na złożony charakter medialny. Po obejrzeniu z bliska świeżo oczyszczonego, wysoko na ścianie wschodniej prezbiterium umieszczonego przedstawienia aniołów adorujących (i podtrzymujących) dotąd trudny do określenia czworoboczny kształt zwieńczony szczycikiem, określany domyślnie jako Weraikon, okazało się, że najprawdopodobniej znajdował się tu wstawiony niegdyś w czworoboczne pole niewielki obraz tablicowy. Świadczą o tym: kilkucentymetrowa „odsadzka” wykonana w tynku – umiejscowiona w dolnej części namalowanego czarnym konturem architektonicznego, baldachimowego obramienia, brak śladów tynku (jedynie nietypowa, cienka warstwa czerwonej polichromii wewnątrz obramienia). Ze względu na to, że ów domniemany obraz się nie zachował, przypuszczenie, że przedstawiał Weraikon, ujęty architektonicznym cyborium, być może naśladującym rzymski sposób prezentacji chusty-relikwii, opieramy na popularności przedstawień tego typu ikonograficznego, umiejscawianych w kontekście ołtarza i na podstawie istniejącego kontekstu malarskiego (na sklepieniu w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie znajdują się także wizerunki adorujących aniołów z inskrypcją tersanctus). Przy ogromnej popularności tego typu przedstawienia w późnym średniowieczu, nie tylko w malarstwie monumentalnym, toruński przykład wydaje się wyjątkowy z racji swojej transmedialności: całość jest heterogeniczna; kopia obrazu-relikwii występuje w nowym kontekście i roli, zmieniając także charakter malowidła. Źródłem takiej koncepcji była zapewne niezwykła różnorodność (w tym także medialna) tworzonych kopii wizerunku rzymskiego. Podobieństwo do tego typu złożonej medialnie struktury obrazowej możemy odnaleźć w księgach iluminowanych, do których bywały wklejane wizerunki Świętego Oblicza wykonane na skórze, niekiedy przywiezione z Rzymu. Toruński wizerunek mógł mieć także rzymskie pochodzenie; wiek XIV był okresem znacznego wzmożenia kultu Świętego Oblicza w samym Rzymie, jak i poza nim, choćby dzięki licznym pielgrzymkom. Należy przy tym zastrzec, że funkcjonowanie tu wstawionego, malowanego na desce Weraikonu jest jedynie hipotezą, choć uznajemy ją za wielce prawdopodobną. Istnieje też i inna, mniej prawdopodobna możliwość, że wspomniana odsadzka/półka powstała bez związku z malowidłem. Wówczas możliwe byłoby, iż przedmiotem adoracji jest umieszczona pod baldachimem Arka Przymierza lub jedynie miejsce „oczekujące” na Arkę, która ukaże się w „świątyni Boga” w dniu Sądu (Ap 11,19).
Realität als vermeintliche Grenze der Erkenntnis: Hegels Metaphysik im Anschluss an und in Abgrenzung zu Kant
Authors: Plevrakis Ermylos
Published: August 2020

While Kant in his Critique of Pure Reason aims to 'humiliate' reason by declining any possibility of knowledge of things 'in themselves', he does conceive such critique as 'the necessary preparation for a thoroughly scientific system of metaphysics'. In this paper I examine in
what sense Hegel's Science of Logic goes beyond that Kantian view without neither relapsing back into dogmatic metaphysics nor turning into a mere pragmatism. I argue that reality in itself is ontologically deficient so that it is already reality itself (and not just the categories
of understanding) that makes true knowledge of real things impossible. Nonetheless I contend that there is something in Hegel's Science of Logic that is truly absolute and turns Logic into 'a thoroughly scientific system of metaphysics', namely what Hegel calls the Concept or
the Absolute Idea. Furthermore I point out the concrete importance of these metaphysical claims for human theoretical and practical knowledge. This finally provides a new reading of Hegel's Logic as a de-ontologised Aristotelian metaphysics that not just claims to regulate empirical
knowledge in a Kantian manner, but to also conceptually constitute reality 'in itself'.

Customer’s satisfaction on service quality at Vietnam Technological and Commercial Joint Stock Bank – An Giang Branch
Authors: Hieu Tran Minh , Chi Nguyen Duong Ngoc Mai
Published: August 2020

This study applied SERVQUAL scale of Parasuraman et al to measure factors affecting customer satisfaction on service quality at Vietnam Technological and Commercial Joint Stock Bank - An Giang Branch (Techcombank An Giang). The study was conducted to survey 207 customers who have been using the service at Techcombank An Giang. The survey results were analyzed by the Cronbach's Alpha reliability test method, then used Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to verify and evaluate the scale of service quality. The results of the regression analysis show that customer's satisfaction about service quality at Techcombank An Giang includes four factors: The factor with the highest level is the Empathy with Beta = 0.253, the second of factor is the Responsibility with Beta = 0.248, ranked third in the influence level is the Tangible with Beta = 0.235, and the lowest impact level is the Reliability with Beta = 0.144. The research also uses statistical methods to describe and test the differences of demographic factors with customer's satisfactionon service quality.The analysis results show that there is no difference between customer's satisfaction on service quality and factors such as gender, age, income, number of transaction banks, regular transaction banks, and time to use the service at Techcombank An Giang. Through the research results, the author would like to propose some ideas to improve the quality of services, thereby attracting new customers and importantly, keeping traditional customers because the development orientation of Techcombank is to take care of old customers to cross sell other products of the bank. The Stud results offer a basis for the branch to identify the factors influencing customer satisfaction on their service quality, thereby having an appropriate strategy to improve customer satisfaction.
Corporate social responsibility and firm financial performance: A literature review
Authors: Nguyen Tien Thu Thuy , Nguyen Chi Ha Lien
Published: August 2020

This paper aims to investigate the literature on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to provide a comprehensive overview of whether CSR would make a difference to organisational financial outcomes. The paper also provides a closer focus on CSR research in Vietnam. Through an extensive analysis of 86 most recent empirical studies from 2015 to 2020, we found that the contribution of CSR to firm financial performance has received significant support from the literature. Yet the overall findings are still inconsistent, and the majority of evidence is mainly from developed countries. The current literature on CSR and firm performance highlights some important issues, ranging from theoretical background, CSR measures, methodological issues, the need to consider intervening factors in CSR-firm performance relationship, and the need to extend this literature further in developing and emerging countries. The literature on CSR-firm performance research in Vietnam closely resembles these problems. Research in this country domain is still scarce in both quantity and quality, reflecting in a number of issues including the limited number of international publications, the absence of theory-driven research, and the less rigorous research design. Building on these findings, we recommend future research to (i) adopt the multi-theoretical approach for a more extensive view on whether and how CSR contributes to firm performance; (ii) obtain more rigorous methodological approaches to measure a wide range of CSR dimensions and address the issue of endogeneity in CSR-firm performance causal relationship; (iii) open the Pandora box to explore why and through which channels CSR can improve firm financial performance with the presence of situational factors; and (iv) build the literature with more evidence from different country contexts and from developing and emerging countries.
Evaluating the possibility of color treatment of Tarcon Blue 2BLN dye by coagulating materials PGa21Ca, polyaluminium chloride, iron (II) sulfate heptahydrate and aluminium sulfate octadecahydrate
Authors: Thuy Le Thi Xuan , Suong Le Thi
Published: August 2020

This article presented the results of color treament ability of Tarcon Blue 2BLN dye with some flocculation chemicals such as PGa21Ca, polyaluminium chloride (PAC), iron (II) sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO4.7H2O) and aluminium sulfate octadecahydrate (Al2(SO4)3.18H2O). Our results showed that conditions for treatment the color to reach column B, QCVN 13: 2015 / BTNMT (national technical regulation on textile and dying industry) by different flocculation chemicals were the same exposure time (10 minutes), sedimentation time (30 minutes), but different in parameters of concentration (% mass), stirring speed and pH. Specifically: PGa21Ca (0.02%), PAC (0.01%), aluminium sulfate octadecahydrate (0.003%) can handle color at the initial pH of the solution (pH = 6), with the stirring speed corresponding to each flocculation chemical at 120 rpm, 45 rpm and 45 rpm respectively. In contrast, with iron (II) sulfate heptahydrate (0.02%), only the color treatment reaches column B, QCVN 13: 2015 / BTNMT when the pH of the wastewater raises to 10 and stirring speed is 120 rpm. Compared with PAC, aluminium sulfate octadecahydrate and iron (II) sulfate heptahydrate, PGa21Ca has the advantage of contributing to raise the pH value in the acid solution, which reduces the pH in the base environment, and not changing the pH when the concentration of PGa21Ca increases. Test results on actual wastewater samples taken from Hoa Khanh Danang Textile Joint Stock Company (DANATEX) showed that the ability of treating color of these chemicals on actual wastewater samples is lower than the ability on water samples blended with Tarcon Blue 2BLN dye.
Globalisasi dan Pendidikan Islam Tradisional di Minangkabau
Authors: Juharmen J
Published: August 2020

Tulisan ini membahas dampak globalisasi terhadap pendidikan Islam tradisional di Sumatera Barat dengan fokus kajian pada sejarah globalisasi di Sumatera Barat dan dampaknya terhadap pendidikan Islam tradisional. Penelitian ini berkesimpulan bahwa globalisasi  dalam bentuknya yang klasik bukan hal baru dalam sejarah Sumatera Barat. Setidaknya ia telah hadir dalam bentuk transaksi ekonomi klasik di masa lalu pasca kedatangan para pedagang dari berbagai penjuru dunia, baik itu Cina, ataupun Timur Tengah, bahkan Eropa. Namun perkembangan globalisasi yang begitu pesat, selain telah mempengaruhi masyarakat melalui sekularisasi, secara tidak langsung juga berimbas kepada lembaga-lembaga pendidikan Islam tradisional. Semakin berkurangnya para pengajar yang memiliki kapabilitas atas kitab klasik, dan berkurangnya minat masyarakat yang terkesima dengan pendidikan sekular, persoalan lain yang dihadapi oleh pendidikan Islam tradisional adalah lahirnya pesaing-pesaing yang selalu hadir di sepanjang zaman, baik itu dalam bentuk sekolah sekular buatan Belanda, atau sekolah Islam modern hasil reformasi Islam, hingga masa sekarang dengan hadirnya Sekolah Islam Terpadu (SIT) sebagai jawaban atas kebutuhan globalisasi. Menghadapi situasi yang tidak menguntungkan, pendidikan Islam tradisional di Sumatera Barat masih mampu bertahan meskipun dengan situasi yang sulit dan semakin terjepit.

Identifying Gay Behavior Through Guidance and Counseling Module For Senior High School Students
Authors: Gusnaldi Gusnaldi , Mudjiran Mudjiran , Afdal Afdal
Published: August 2020

Homosexuality is defined as romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behavior between the same sex or gender. Gay is one of the sexual disorders where man is attracted to other straight or gay man. Mostly, teenagers are unaware of this current emerging phenomenon. So, some may get involved or even dragged into this crisis which will lead them to miserable mental state. Their lack of knowledge about the concept and detrimental effect of gay behavior is also the main concern. Hence, a preventive approach should be taken to hinder teenagers, especially male students, from the negative outcome of gay behavior through guidance and counselling program. The paper followed the procedure in descriptive research design. The research population was all public high school students in Padang and there were 100 respondents which was chosen through purposive sampling. Based on the research findings, 15 students (15%) responded in the highest scale, extremely concerned. 23 students (23) were moderately concerned. 58 students (58%) seemed in uncertainty. 4 students (4%) were at loss or slightly concerned facing this crisis. In brief, most students had low awareness of this crisis. Thus, their understanding in gay behavior must be enhanced. The aid offered to help them protect themselves is providing information about the concept of gay behavior, gay characteristics, the causes of gay behavior, the impact of being a homosexual man and how they find a sexual partner through guidance and counseling program.

Hospital-acquired infections in ageing Vietnamese population: current situation and solution
Authors: Nguyen Hoai Thi Thu , Nguyen Giang Ngoc Thuy , Nguyen An Van
Published: August 2020

Hospital-acquired infection (HAI) is a growing problem all around the world particularly for countries with aging and high-density population such as Vietnam. In this review, we summarized the current status of HAIs in Vietnam regarding types of infection, rates of infection, hospital-stay duration and cost of treatment, and provided an overview with suggestions on strategies in combating these infections especially in Vietnamese settings. From quite dispersed and varied data reported in English and Vietnamese, we have seen HAI rates of less than 10%. Over the years, the HAIs in Vietnam remained quite stable and even slightly decreased in recent years. Among all HAIs, respiratory tract infections are the most common, occurring in up to 80% of cases. Most Vietnamese statistical data on the etiology of HAIs focused on bacterial HAIs, mostly Candidiasis, whereas limited information was found on fungal infections, nosocomial viral and other parasitic infections. The most important HAI causative pathogens in Vietnamese hospitals include Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida species. There is absolutely few scientific data, but web-based information on HAIs treatment cost and measures to control the infections were found. Works are reported to be implemented to control HAIs in Vietnam at both national and hospital level. However, further improvement in controlling HAIs in Vietnam should be considered.
Validation of predictive equations against DXA for estimation of body fat composition in Vietnamese children

Published: August 2020

Childhood overweight and obesity are becoming more pronounced in Vietnam, so an assessment tool of high efficiency in the community is warranted. This study sought to validate skinfold thickness (SFT) equations for estimation of body fatness by Goran and Slaughter against DXA to aid in assessing obesity.

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 144 healthy children (ages 6-17) who were conveniently sampled from schools within an urban district. Their anthropometric measurements (height, weight, and SFT) and DXA whole-body results were taken to record body fat percentage (BF%). Bland-Altman analysis and correlation between bias and body fat were employed to understand the agreement between results from each equation and DXA whole body.

BF% was 32.2 ± 7.6% (mean ± SD). 52.8% of the children were overweight or obese. Bland-Altman plots showed that all four SFT equations had wide limits of agreement (LOAs) and largely underestimated the reference BF% by up to 8.90%. Goran equation predicted better when BF% decreased, whereas Slaughter equations produced less bias when there was more body fat.

The prevalence rate of overweight and obesity has become alarming. Besides, Goran and Slaughter equations cannot be used as alternatives for DXA scanning to measure body fat due to their underestimation.
Isolation of Lactic acid bacteria showing antagonistic activity against Streptococcus mutans
Authors: Nguyen Hanh Thi Hong , Le Anh Tuan
Published: August 2020

Streptococcus mutans is a major pathogen that initiates dental plaque and dental caries due to its strong acid production and biofilm-forming ability. Recent studies showed that lactic acid bacteria (LAB), exert useful properties which make them become potential tools to fight against S. mutans and its relating diseases. The current study aimed to isolate and screen for LAB strains that could inhibit S. mutans growth as well as its biofilm production.

Using the spread plate technique, fifty-one LAB strains were isolated from fermented vegetables and healthy human saliva. From that, fourteen isolates showed the inhibitory effect on S. mutans growth in well-diffusion assay. These strains were then screened on the ability in reducing S. mutans biofilm formation by colorimetric assay. Next, potential LAB was evaluated on some probiotic characteristics including saliva amylase tolerance, acid tolerance, bile tolerance as well as antibiotic susceptibility properties. As a result, four strains showed the most promising features were further tested for the ability to reduce Streptococcus mutans biofilm by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation and by expression analysis of biofilm-forming genes (gtfB and luxS) using RT-qPCR method. Finally, these four strains were identified to species level using API® 50 CHL kit and 16S rDNA sequencing method. The result showed that two strains belong to L. plantarums, one belongs to L. brevis and the other is Weisella confusa.

This study was successful in isolating LAB that showed promising probiotic effects against S. mutans.
The Future of Islamic Finance after the Corona Crisis
Authors: Nienhaus Volker
Published: August 2020

There is much literature on the consequences of the corona crisis for the financial system, but usually without a distinction between conventional and Islamic finance. This research focusses on behavioral changes and market developments in the financial and real economy that will impact Islamic finance differently than conventional finance due to its conceptual peculiarities and prevailing practices. Particular attention is given to the real estate and construction sector, the universe of Sharīʿah compliant stocks, and the consumer finance of Islamic retail banks. Through these channels, “the world” will have an impact on the future of Islamic finance. But the corona crisis has also reinforced calls for more responsible finance, and promotors of Islamic finance emphasize the ideal of risk-sharing as well as the distinct instruments of Islamic social finance for poverty alleviation and social cohesion. Particular attention is given to innovations in equity-like financing, green and socially responsible ṣukūk, digital approaches for Islamic microfinance, and the broader usage for Islamic social finance instruments (zakāt, qarḍ Hasan, [cash] waqf, sadaqat). Through these channels, a revised future Islamic finance may have an impact on the world.

El compromiso ciudadano con la Administración Pública: una propuesta metodológica para su estudio
Authors: Piqueiras Conlledo Paloma
Published: August 2020

A pesar de que la literatura documenta resultados positivos del Compromiso Ciudadano surgidos de su participación directa en la vida pública y de la deliberación conjunta, aún no se ha establecido una metodología operativa para su estudio. Esto puede ser debido, entre otras razones, a la naturaleza intangible del término, es decir, a la dificultad de materializar las acciones de compromiso en medidas tangibles. Este documento propone una metodología para evaluar el compromiso que la sociedad adquiere con la Administración Pública a través de un conjunto de indicadores. El uso de los mismos es determinante para que las instituciones puedan disponer de información confiable que les ayude a diseñar, de forma estratégica, las relaciones con sus públicos. Se discuten, además, los alcances y limitaciones de esta propuesta.
Smart technologies and dematerialization as new opportunities for the design of more sustainable ships: case studies in cruise vessel design
Authors: Carmosino Giuseppe , Piardi Silvia , Ratti Andrea
Published: August 2020

In the last twenty years cruise ships have increased in number and grown in size, developing oversized cruise vessels, known as ‘mega-ships’. In the last few years, a new generation of more innovative ships, the ‘smart ships’, have become a complementary phenomenon and may represent a more sustainable alternative to the growth of ‘mega-ships’. Smart ships can produce new experiences on board and generate a new design of interiors and exteriors of the ships. Through the analysis of the case studies, this study brings a reflection on the state of the art of the sustainability of new smart ships. The results aim to provide more information on how smart technologies and reactive materials can help ships become more sustainable.

Published: August 2020

La elaboración del diagnóstico situacional es el punto de partida para la elaboración de planes y programas tendientes al desarrollo sostenible de un territorio, sin importar donde este se encuentre. Como herramienta de planificación, el diagnóstico situacional se emplea en diversas disciplinas y, como en este caso, para el desarrollo de localidades y comunidades. De la misma forma, en el turismo, como estrategia de desarrollo territorial sostenible, el diagnóstico situacional nos permite tener una visión clara del entorno actual en el cual queremos intervenir. El presente artículo presenta el diagnóstico situacional desarrollado en la comunidad Capirona en la parroquia de Puerto Napo, cantón Tena, provincia de Napo, mismo que se elaboró como parte del Inventario de Atractivos Turísticos de la comunidad. Para el desarrollo del diagnóstico se empleó la Metodología SEMPLADES 2015, el cual permitió conocer las potencialidades, necesidades y precarias condiciones en que viven sus pobladores. Entre los principales problemas resaltan la inexistencia de servicios básicos tales como; agua potable, sistema eléctrico, sistema de alcantarillado, recolección de residuos sólidos entre otros. A estos problemas se suman el mal estado de las vías de acceso, desempleo, migración, cacería furtiva y destrucción de bosques por la tala de árboles. Es importante resaltar que la forma principal de subsistencia de los pobladores de la comunidad es la agricultura; 80% para consumo propio y un 20% para comercialización. En este contexto, el desarrollo de otras actividades, como el turismo sostenible, pueden, potencialmente, ayudar a generar recursos necesarios para los habitantes de la comunidad Capirona. Finalmente, el diagnóstico situacional pone de manifiesto la necesidad de atención por parte de las autoridades que permita a los pobladores salir del estancamiento económico, social y ambiental en el cual se encuentran al momento.

Authors: Shrestha Binaya , Dixit Sanjaya Mani
Published: August 2020

Background: In order to promote rational drug use in developing countries, assessment of drug use pattern using the World Health Organization drug use indicators is important. The aim of this study was to assess the drug prescription patterns at Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital, using some of the World Health Organization core drug use indicators.Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was carried out in order to determine current prescribing trends at Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital. A total of 605 prescriptions were collected and analyzed in the study.Results: The average number of drugs per prescription was 5.85 considering the total amount of prescriptions. Furthermore, assuming each prescription as an individual patient, 64.1% of patients received antibiotics, and 71% of patients received injectable form of drugs. Among antibiotics the most common antibiotics prescribed were Ceftriaxone, Amoxicillin/Cloxacillin, Azithromycin, Cefixime, and Cloxacillin. Only 16.94% of the medicines were prescribed in generic names with the rest 83.06% of the medicines being prescribed in brand names and 47.55% of medicines prescribed were from the National List of Essential Medicines-Nepal.Conclusions: The current study revealed that polypharmacy and prescription writing using brand names were common. Prescriptions writing in generic name needs to be promoted and encouraged. There appears to be a crucial need for the development of prescribing guidelines when it comes to antibiotics. Keywords: Drug prescription; drug utilization; prescribing practices; rational drug use; WHO prescribing indicators.
Effects of Lower Body Positive Pressure on Cardiovascular Responses During Walking in Elderly Women
Authors: SOTA T. , MATSUO S. , UCHIDA Y. , HAGINO H. , KAWAI Y.
Published: August 2020

This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of lower body positive pressure (LBPP) on cardiovascular responses during a 15-min walking trial in young (22.1±0.4 years) and elderly women (67.8±1.1 years). The application of 20 mm Hg LBPP reduced ground reaction forces by 31.2±0.5 kgw in both groups. We hypothesized that cardiovascular responses to LBPP during walking were different between the young and elderly subjects. Applying 20 mm Hg of LBPP increased diastolic and mean blood pressure but not systolic blood pressure in both groups. LBPP-induced reduction in heart rate (HR) occurred more quickly in the young group compared to the elderly group (p<0.05). Applying LBPP also decreased double product (systolic blood pressure x HR) in both groups, suggesting that LBPP reduces myocardial oxygen consumption during exercise. These results suggest that heart rate responses to LBPP during exercise vary with increasing age.
VO2 Kinetics in Supra-Anaerobic Threshold Constant Tests Allow the Visualization and Quantification of the O2 Saving After Cytochrome C Oxidase Inhibition by Aerobic Training or Nitrate Administration

We tested whether the known cytochrome c oxidase (COX) inhibition by nitric oxide (NO) could be quantified by VO2 kinetics during constant load supra-Anaerobic Threshold (AT) exercises in healthy trained or untrained subjects following aerobic training or nitrate administration. In cycle ergometer constant load exercises supra-AT, identified in previous incremental tests, VO2 kinetics describe a double exponential curve, one rapid and one appreciably slower, allowing the area between them to be calculate in O2 l. After training, with increased NO availability, this area decreases in inverse ratio to treatment efficacy. In fact, in 11 healthy subjects after aerobic training for 6-7 weeks, area was decreased on average by 51 %. In 11 untrained subjects, following the assumption of an NO donor, 20 mg isosorbide 5 mononitrate, area was decreased on average by 53 %. In conclusion, supra-AT VO2 kinetics in constant load exercises permit the quantification of the inhibitory effect NO-dependent on COX after either physical training or nitrate assumption.

This study investigated the protective effect of two nitric oxide synthase inhibitors Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 100 mg/kg i.p.) and aminoguanidine (AG, 400 mg/kg i.p.), and an antioxidant acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC, 250 mg/kg i.p., once daily for five days) against radiation-induced damage in Wistar rats. Blood samples were collected 6 h after whole-body irradiation with 8 Gy. Plasma concentrations of nitrite+nitrate (NOx) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. A single injection of L-NAME one hour before exposure effectively prevented the radiation-induced elevation of plasma NOx and it reduced 2.6-fold the risk for death during the subsequent 30-day period. Pretreatment with ALC prevented the radiation-induced increase in plasma MDA and it had similar effect on mortality as L-NAME did. Presumably due to its short half-life, the partially iNOS-selective inhibitor and antioxidant AG given in a single dose before exposure did not attenuate MDA and NOx and it failed to significantly improve the 30-day survival. In conclusion, pretreatment with both the nonspecific NOS inhibitor L-NAME and the antioxidant ALC markedly reduce mortality to radiation sickness in rats. The radioprotective effect may be directly related to effective attenuation of the radiation-induced elevation of NO production by L-NAME and of oxidative stress by ALC.

Published: August 2020

Issues regarding peace issues and conflicts are always heavily discussed. Not surprisingly, there are many events that are oriented to re-establishing peace and harmony. Indonesia with the largest Muslim population, remains known as a peaceful residence and can manage diversity. The proof, it is not Islam that is used as an ideology, but Pancasila. But this ideology is rich in noble values that strengthen the solidarity of Indonesian people. In this article, the author tries to explore the values of peace and harmony that read the verses of the Qur'an from the life of the Indonesian people. The trident ethos in Pancasila is the focus of the review of this article. Besides Pancasila is Indonesia's ideology, a country that has an important role in peace in the international world, another reason for the author is that Pancasila is inseparable from the spirit of Islam, a religion of moderate character. Keywords: Peace, Pancasila, Interpretation, and Qur’an.

The purpose of this research is to find out and to analyze problem and the role of the TNI Special Operations Command (Koopssus TNI), as well as obstacles faced by the TNI Special Operations Command in the prosecution of  terrorism in Indonesia. This research is discussed and motivated by the increasing complexity of terrorist acts which use the latest technology,  international networks and close links with other transnational crimes, as well as endangering national and international security. The research method is conducted using normative law, while the source of legal material used is through secondary legal material which is material obtained through library studies by examining various references relating to the object of this thesis study such as books, legislation, scientific journals, print and electronic media. The statutory regulations in this study are the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 5 of 2018 concerning Eradication of Terrorism Crimes, Law Number 34 of 2004 concerning the Indonesian National Army and Presidential Regulation Number 66 of 2019 concerning the Composition of the Organization of the Indonesian Armed Forces. Based on the results of this study it can be seen that terrorism is not only a criminal offense, but also is broader than that. Terrorism is anything that wants to change Ideology, including those based on religion. The Special Operations Command of the TNI handles Terrorism Crimes which is highly escalated and its deployment under direct order from the President. The TNI Special Operations Command is a new structure within the TNI, and addresses urgent issues. The role of the TNI Special Operations Command is not optimal because it is a relatively new organization. Its existence is as expected because it accommodates the interests of the TNI, related to being able to handle strategic matters at the national level so as to accelerate its deployment under direct command from the TNI Commander.Keywords:TNI Special Operations Command (Koopssus TNI), Role, Obstacles,    Terrorism

Leadership in Islam becomes a very interesting discussion to be discussed anytime and anywhere. Especially some time ago in Indonesia there had been a furious conversation about non-Muslim leadership. Speaking of non-Muslim leadership, of course, the Ulama from classical to contemporary times have a lot of views and opinions. Starting from the scholars who are pro with non-Muslim leadership and not a few who reject the existence of leaders from non-Muslim groups. We will review this discussion based on the Koran and Hadith. For the verses of the Koran we will focus on the QS. Al-Maidah verse 51, because that verse has been viral for some time and has become a trending topic in Indonesia. The method used in this paper is to use qualitative methods and extract data through research libraries. The Classical Ulama tend to reject non-Muslim leadership on the basis of maintaining the Islamic faith. While contemporary scholars tend to accept non-Muslim leadership with the assumption that what happened then and now is different, especially the presence of human rights makes everyone have the same rights when they want to or are a leader while still paying attention to existing restrictions.Keywords: Leadership, Non-Moeslim, and Islam.
Child Abuse in Disasters

Violence against children affects a significant portion of youth around the world. Emergencies and natural disasters escalate the risk due to weakened child protection systems and disruption of preventative mechanisms. Most families affected by natural disasters, especially those in lower socioeconomic status, face greater social and economic pressures. The families that are more vulnerable to loss of food and shelter commit violence against children more frequently. Given the identified predictors of violence, humanitarian organizations can come closer to providing appropriate plans to reduce the risk during and postdisaster.
Polarization Control with Helical Metasurfaces

The ability to fully control the polarization of light using chiral metadevices has drawn considerable attention in various applications of integrated photonics, communication systems, and life sciences. In this work, we propose a comprehensive approach for the design of metasurfaces with desired polarization properties for reflected and transmitted waves based on the proper spatial arrangement of chiral inclusions in the unit cell. Polarization conversion is achieved by engineering induced electric and magnetic dipole moments of the metasurface inclusions. We show that under a proper arrangement, the same inclusion can be used as a building block of metasurfaces with drastically different wave-transformation functionalities. The horizontally and vertically oriented metallic helices were used as simplest chiral inclusions, which can be manufactured by the established 3D fabrication techniques from THz up to the visible spectral range. The proposed metadevices provide a deep understanding of the light–matter interaction for polarization conversions with helix-based structures and opens the way to new possibilities of electromagnetic polarization control with advanced chiral metadevices in communication and imaging systems.
