Religious life in Indonesia in the Study of Post-Modernism
Authors: Asrawijaya Enkin
Published: June 2022

This paper discusses how the religious life in Indonesia in the perspective of postmodernism. This paper is a literature study with information taken from secondary data. Today, religious issues are increasingly difficult to understand and complicated. Physical to structural violence often appears in religious life in Indonesia. The existing pluralistic conditions also affect the aspect of harmony. This is what causes religious consistency to be disrupted, although not all of them lead to conflict, there are still people who uphold tolerance so that religious harmony can be maintained. Human inclination towards religion is due to human nature. However, sometimes there are what are commonly referred to as deviations and conflicts. These conditions ultimately lead to religious intolerance. The case that has occurred is the fact that the existing dialectical path is difficult to find a middle point. Postmodernism offers an attitude of "tolerance" by respecting the existence of religious plurality. This research contributes ideas for religious studies that continue to develop according to the conditions of the times through the view of the postmodernism paradigm.
Conciencia sinodal en los sínodos de los siglos II-IV
Authors: Polanco Rodrigo
Published: June 2022

Este artículo revisa la conciencia sinodal de la Iglesia expresada en los documentos (cartas sinodales, cánones, relatos antiguos) de todos los sínodos de los cuales tenemos noticia, hasta Constantinopla (381). Los sínodos, en esos primeros siglos, se constituyeron en una forma muy importante de vivir y expresar la sinodalidad de la Iglesia. El estudio de índole eclesiológica deduce tres aspectos muy presentes en la antigüedad y que son importantes para renovar la conciencia sinodal: el discernimiento conjunto de la verdad de la fe; la recepción de los sínodos como criterio de autenticidad; la intrínseca relación entre primado y sinodalidad.

The paper describes the modification of the SRG-50-751 connector by means of the support bead material change. The modification is made in order to extend the operating temperature range of the connector, and may also reduce the VSWR of the connector. The modified coaxial quarter-wavelength resonator method is used for bead parameter control. The modification of the method increases the dielectric constant measurement accuracy and enables to measure specimens with different lengths. The method of dielectric loss tangent measurement of the beads is outlined in the article.
Consolidation of soft soils improved by composite piles considering clogging effect
Authors: Shan J. , Lu M. , Yang K.
Published: June 2022

Composite pile with a stiffer core and gravel shell is a newly emerging column technology to improve soft soil by combining the advantages of accelerating consolidation and increasing loading bearing capacity. In practice, the composite piles may be constructed into various forms with different cross-sectional shapes. Moreover, soft soil particles may be transferred along with the seepage and intrude into the gravel shell and thereby clog them. In this paper, by converting the noncircular cross-sectional composite pile into a hollow cylindrical unit cell and considering the time-dependent clogging effect, an analytical model for the consolidation of composite ground stabilized by composite piles is proposed. Analytical solutions are then obtained for instantaneous loading and multi-stage instantaneous loading under the equal-strain condition. Moreover, the variation of the stress with depth caused by surcharge loading is also incorporated in the analysis. The feasibility of the solutions is verified by degenerating them to some previous solutions. Furthermore, the solutions are applied to a laboratory test to investigate consolidation. The predicted results are compared to the measured data and a good agreement is observed between them. Finally, a parametric study is conducted to investigate the influence of several parameters on consolidation behavior.
Measurement methodology and characteristics of interfacial resistance in electro-osmosis
Authors: Guo K.-S. , Zhuang Y.-F.
Published: June 2022

The electro-osmosis technique can be used for rapid dewatering and consolidation of deep soft foundations. Considering the abnormal volt-ampere characteristics of soil at the initial stage of electro-osmosis using electrokinetic geosynthetics (EKG) electrodes, the hypothesis that the interfacial resistance between electrode and soil is related to current was formulated. A new method was used to distinguish the soil resistance and interfacial resistance, and an experiment was designed to verify them. The results show that the soil resistance does not change with the changing current in the circuit, but the interfacial resistance is closely related to the current. The interfacial resistance decreases as the current increases and is approximately a power function of the current. This relationship applies to aluminium, copper, iron and EKG electrodes. In addition, a design for the field application of electro-osmosis was developed focusing on power supply and efficiency. The calculation results show that the proportion of soil effective potential is closely related to the potential gradient imposed by the power supply. The experimental results reveal the relationship between the potential gradient and the efficiency of electro-osmosis, which provides a theoretical basis for the determination and optimisation of electric power in electro-osmosis system design.

Authors: Li G. , Xu C. , Yoo C. , Shen P. , Wang T. , Wang Q.
Published: June 2022

Five spring-based trapdoor tests allowing continuous displacement during both fill placement and localised static loading were conducted. Quartz sand was used as the test fill. Biaxial geogrids with and without ribs, having two different reinforcement stiffnesses, were used as reinforcement materials. Test results show that when two low-stiffness geogrid reinforcement layers were used, higher reinforcement spacing ratios (defined as the ratio of the reinforcement spacing between two reinforcement layers to the trapdoor width) induced more stable and efficient load transfer generally. Consequently, an optimum value of 0.3 and a worst-case value of 0.1 for the reinforcement spacing ratio were obtained and considered as representatives of two low-stiffness reinforcement layers for comparison with a single high-stiffness reinforcement layer, where their total reinforcement stiffnesses were approximately same. Generally, the inclusion of two low-stiffness reinforcement layers induced more stable load transfer. More importantly, compared with a single high-stiffness reinforcement layer, two low-stiffness reinforcement layers with the optimum reinforcement spacing ratio enhanced load transfer and induced less overall tensile forces, whereas the reinforcement arrangement with the worst reinforcement spacing ratio induced similar load transfer efficiency and overall tensile forces.

Aim. To improve treatment results in patients with various manifestations of portal hypertension (PH) by simultaneously performing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement and partial splenic embolization.

Materials and methods. At the first stage of the study, the incidence of PH manifestations was retrospectively analyzed in 100 consecutive patients with cirrhosis. At the second stage, the safety and efficacy of simultaneously performing TIPS placement and partial splenic embolization were evaluated in a group of 20 patients with esophageal and/or gastric varices and hypersplenism. Control examination was performed at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 months after the procedure.

Results. Of 100 patients with liver cirrhosis, clinical and instrumental signs of portal hypertension were observed in 86 patients. In 49 (56.9%) patients, portal hypertension was manifested as esophageal and/or gastric varices along with hypersplenism. When TIPS and partial splenic embolization were used together, no in-hospital case fatality and postoperative complications were noted. During a dynamic observation, 2 (10%) fatal outcomes were reported that were not related to variceal bleeding. The severity of varices decreased in 19 (95%) patients while remaining unchanged in 1 (5%) patient. In 5 (25%) patients, encephalopathy was noted to worsen. Six months following the procedure, the platelet count increase reached 109.44 ± 34.26% (54–242), while 12 months later, it amounted to 96.37 ± 23.62% (41–166). After a 6-month follow-up period, an average increase in leukocyte count reached 34.14 ± 24.96% (0–89), amounting to 21.47 ± 18.46% (0–62) after a follow-up period of 12 months.

Conclusion. More than half of patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension suffer from both esophageal and/or gastric varices and hypersplenism. In such patients, it is safe and effective to perform TIPS and partial splenic embolization simultaneously.

Authors: Yang Xiuzhen , He Yihai , Zhou Di , Zheng Xin
Published: June 2022

Previous studies of reliability centered maintenance (RCM) rarely consider the maintenance quality for the operation condition monitoring of manufacturing system. Therefore,
a quality-oriented maintenance approach for the multistate manufacturing system with the
aid of mission reliability is proposed. First, connotations of the mission reliability and maintenance quality of the multistate manufacturing system are expounded on the basis of the
operational mechanism. Second, a quality stochastic flow network (QSFN) model of the
multistate manufacturing system is established, and a novel mission reliability model is
presented. Third, a quality-oriented mission reliability–centered maintenance framework for
multistate manufacturing systems is proposed, and the optimal integrated maintenance strategy is obtained by minimizing the total cost. Finally, an industrial example of subway flow
receiver is presented to verify the proposed method. Results show that the proposed method
can simultaneously balance the maintenance cost and maintenance quality of the multistate
manufacturing system.

Published: June 2022

Petrochemical comparison of highly metamorphosed conglomerate-like rocks of the Early Precambrian of the Ukrainian Shield of questionable age and genesis (problem objects) with reference weakly metamorphosed metapsephites-metapsammites of the Paleoproterozoic of the Kryvyi Rih basin provides important additional material for judging the initial nature of highly metamorphosed objects and their probable correlative stratigraphic position. Problem objects on a series of petrochemical diagrams are clearly divided into two separate groups. The first group includes psephitepsammite-like quartzites of the Dibrovsky and Mariupol areas of the Azov Region; petrochemically, they correspond to the Skelevatian reference trend – a highly mature petrochemical type of coarse terrigenous sediments of the lower part of the Paleoproterozoic. The second group unites conglomerate-like gneisses and crystalline schists of the Radomyshl area of the Teterivska Group, of the vicinity of Pervomaisk and the confluence of the Velyka Vys, Hirskyi Tikych, Hnylyi Tikych rivers, metapsefites-metapsammites of the Zvenigorod-Shpolyansk area, as well as Ingul metapsammitous-metaalevritous gneisses. This group is in good agreement with the Gleyevat reference trend, an immature sub-greywacke petrochemical type of sediments of the upper Paleoproterozoic.
GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ACCUMULATION OF RARE AND SCATTERED ELEMENTS IN THE BRECCIAS OF MUD VOLCANOES OF AZERBAIJAN (ABSHERON PENINSULA, GOBUSTAN)
Authors:   Azerbaijan State University of Oil and Industry, Baku, Azerbaijan, Babayev N.
Published: June 2022

Based on modern field and laboratory studies, the conditions for the accumulation of some rare and scattered elements in mud volcano breccias have been described in the article, using the example of the most characteristic mud volcanoes of Absheron and Gobustan. A typomorphic geochemical association with boron mineralization of rare and scattered elements in solid products of mud volcanic eruptions has been determined. It has been revealed that mud volcanism is a favorable factor for the accumulation of boron, lithium, cesium and strontium in mud volcano breccias in practically interesting values. The maximum values of these concentrations were noted in the fresh erupted mud volcano breccias with remnants of water-silty mud. Sample variance, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation are the most controlling parameters of the distribution functions of the studied elements in mud volcano breccias. According to the estimates of these parameters, it has been found that the mud volcanic new formations are rich in boron, lithium and cesium, while not being rich in rubidium. The established average values of the concentration of boron (0.216 kg/t), lithium (55 g/t), rubidium (132 g/t) and cesium (50 g/t) can be considered as the first quantitative parameters of the geochemical specialization of mud volcanic eruption products using the example of Absheron Peninsula and Gobustan. These parameters can be used to refine the so-called provincial clarkes of geochemical zoning, prediction of prospecting for boron and rare alkalic, and other problems.

Published: June 2022

The article is devoted to a new direction of using the waters of the upper aquifers and open reservoirs for heat and cold supply of residential and public buildings and structures. The theoretical analysis of technologies of construction and features of use of natural accumulators of thermal energy in aquifers is carried out. The general schemes of construction of hydrothermal power systems of closed and open type are described. The hydrothermal experimental heat pump power system developed and constructed at the Institute of Renewable Energy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine consisting of a heat pump and two wells with a depth of 49.5 m and 57.5 m, through which water is pumped or pumped from the aquifer, is presented. The geomorphological, geological and hydrogeological conditions of the study site are analyzed. The peculiarities of the formation of groundwater reserves of the productive horizon are described. Further directions of hydrogeological observations have been determined. The efficiency of the hydrothermal heat pump energy system of the open type is scientifically substantiated. Research methods are described. The characteristics of the measuring equipment and the software which was used for archiving and visualization of the data received in the course of carrying out research work are resulted. The results of experimental researches are presented. A comparative analysis of the efficiency and investment attractiveness of the hydrothermal system of open and closed type, where low-potential thermal energy of water is used as a renewable primary source of thermal energy for the operation of the heat pump was carried out. It is established that the use of renewable low-potential ground energy for the operation of geothermal energy systems is widely used in environmentally safe and economically attractive energy systems. However, the use of hydropower potential in hydrothermal energy systems is not widely used, despite the high technical and economic performance. It is proved that the existing hydrothermal systems are not always adapted to the operating conditions and location of the facility. There is no method of designing open-type hydrothermal systems, methods of conducting preliminary hydrogeological studies of the area planned for the installation of these systems and methods of calculating the parameters of the storage medium. The data obtained during the study are of great scientific and applied importance in the design of hydrothermal energy heat pump systems. In addition, there are prospects for further research into the possibility and effectiveness of using the aquifer as a natural heat accumulator to stabilize the generation of energy from renewable sources, regardless of climatic conditions and time of year.

Introduction.One of the actual problems of modern obstetrics is hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. Pregnant women living in highlands are exposed to adverse factors, the most important of which is decreased oxygen in the air. Hypertension of pregnant women in high altitude conditions is conjoin with exogenous hypobaric hypoxia, and as a total organ pathology leads to functional and morphological changes in all organs and systems.

Aim:to study the features of hemostasis system in pregnant women with hypertensive disorders in highlands.

Materials and Мethods.A prospective comparative study included 114 pregnant women with hypertensive disorders, which were divided into 2 groups: group 1 – 63 pregnant women living in highlands, and group 2 – 51 pregnant women living in lowlands. In group 1, 42 pregnant women (67 %) and in group 2, 24 (47 %) pregnant women were diagnosed with severe preeclampsia. Hemostasis parameters were studied: blood clotting time, prothrombin index, content of fibrinogen and soluble fibrin-monomer complexes (SFMC), international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) index, thrombin time, platelet count.

Results.In pregnant mountaineers, compared with pregnant women in lowlands, a higher content of such hemostasis parameters as APTT index (1.654 ± 0.426 vs. 0.892 ± 0.1145; p < 0.001) and SFMC level (4.921 ± 0.753 mg% vs. 3.590 ± 0.5676 mg%; p < 0.001), thrombin time values (103.206 ± 3.734 seconds vs. 93.920 ± 7.8268 seconds; p < 0.001) were revealed, as well as lower fibrinogen concentration (3.762 ± 0.809 g/l vs. 4.160 ± 1,3015 g/l; p = 0.048).

Conclusion.In pregnant women living in highlands compared with pregnant women in lowlands with the addition of severe forms of preeclampsia (67 % vs. 47 %) hypercoagulation characteristic of normal pregnancy disappears, but, on the contrary, iso- and hypocoagulation appears.

Published: June 2022

The growing demands for high data rate wireless connectivity shed lights on the fact that appropriate spectrum regions need to be investigated so that the expected future needs will be satisfied. With this in mind, the research community has shown considerable interest in millimeter-wave (mm-wave) communication. Generally, hybrid transceivers combining the analog phase shifter and the RF chains with digital signal processing (DSP) systems are used for MIMO communication in the fifth generation (5G) wireless networks. This paper presents a survey for different precoding or beamforming techniques that have been proposed in the literature. These beamforming techniques are mainly classified based on their hardware structure into analog and digital beamforming. To reduce the hardware complexity and power consumption, the hybrid precoding techniques that combine analog and digital beamforming can be implemented for mm-wave massive MIMO wireless systems. The performance of the most common hybrid precoding algorithms has been investigated in this paper.
Early Identification of Abused Domains in TLD through Passive DNS Applying Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Da Silva Leandro Marcos
Published: June 2022

DNS is vital for the proper functioning of the Internet. However, users use this structure for domain registration and abuse. These domains are used as tools for these users to carry out the most varied attacks. Thus, early detection of abused domains prevents more people from falling into scams. In this work, an approach for identifying abused domains was developed using passive DNS collected from an authoritative DNS server TLD along with the data enriched through geolocation, thus enabling a global view of the domains. Therefore, the system monitors the domain’s first seven days of life after its first DNS query, in which two behavior checks are performed, the first with three days and the second with seven days. The generated models apply the machine learning algorithm LightGBM, and because of the unbalanced data, the combination of Cluster Centroids and K-Means SMOTE techniques were used. As a result, it obtained an average AUC of 0.9673 for the three-day model and an average AUC of 0.9674 for the seven-day model. Finally, the validation of three and seven days in a test environment reached a TPR of 0.8656 and 0.8682, respectively. It was noted that the system has a satisfactory performance for the early identification of abused domains and the importance of a TLD to identify these domains.
Performance Evaluation of Cryptographic Algorithms: DES, 3DES, Blowfish, Twofish, and Threefish
Authors: Alabdulrazzaq Haneen , Alenezi Mohammed N.
Published: June 2022

With the advancement of the Internet, many individuals and organizations have started to use it to store and send personal or business information. Some of this information is highly confidential and that, in turn, raises an issue of data privacy and confidentiality. Major advances in the Internet have also aided intruders in getting unauthorized access to confidential information. Information Security is the art of securing data from illegitimate access while ensuring integrity, availability, and confidentiality of data. Information Security is achieved through cryptographic encryption and decryption algorithms. Encryption hides confidential information by converting it to an unreadable form while the reverse process of retrieving data from the unreadable or encrypted form is known as decryption. Many cryptographic algorithms exist today and selecting which one to use depends on several factors and measures. This paper conducts a comparison of the encryption speed for five different cryptographic symmetric block-cipher algorithms: DES, 3DES, Blowfish, Twofish, and Threefish. The simulation is done using Python with various text file sizes. The results show that Blowfish outperforms the rest of the algorithms that were tested.

Introduction: The New Approaches to the Quantitative Structural Analysis of Chinese History
Authors: Maslov Alexey A. , Tseluyko Maxim S.
Published: June 2022

This essay describes the papers published in this issue as (mostly) belonging to one problematic and methodological field, thus composing one scientific school or tradition. The main traits of this school are briefly outlined in the beginning. The papers written by the founder of the school, D. Deopik and his coauthor B. Ganshin comprise the first part of the issue, together with the papers of A. Andreeva and A. Kozhukhov. These papers are united by the problem of the era names, their functions, and correlation between them and real political process in the history of various empires, which existed on the territory of East Asia. The two papers comprising the second part of the issue, written by V. Bashkeev and V. Glazunova, have a common period of studies, that being the Western Han Empire. The last two papers of the issue are authored by O. Bonch-Osmolovskaya and M. Tseluyko. They deal with the problems of canon studies in China, researching exegetic tradition and the contents of ancient canonical text Shujing, respectively. Each paper presented in this issue either broadens or deepens the field of studies for their common scientific school, meaning that it either includes a new hitherto untouched (in this specific scientific school) problem and proposes a distinct approach to solving it or outlines a complication of the already existing problem, proposing an additional method for solving it. The only exception is the paper of O. Bonch-Osmolovskaya, which does not belong to the same scientific school as other papers on the issue but represents a good point for reflection and comparison.
The Functions of Shujing’s Earliest Chapters in Socio-Political Communication
Authors: Tseluyko Maxim S.
Published: June 2022

This paper examines the earliest textual layers of the ancient Chinese Classics Shujing 書經. Analyzing the form and content of its chapters we determine their functions in the context of socio-political communication between different groups of ancient Chinese society and political class. While studying the formal properties of the shu, we come to reconstruct different types of its basic elements. This formal heterogeneity of early shu differentiates them greatly from the poetic hymns of Shijing 詩經, thus contradicting the well-spread hypothesis of the texts liturgical nature and functions. Exploring the main elements of narrative reveals the main recipient of its message, that being not the relatives of the royal lineage, but the servants, stewards and wardens of Luoyang, which is the spatial and chronological centre of narration. Thus we can reconstruct the main function of the texts, and that is to legitimize the communication and interaction between such groups of Zhou society and ruling class, which are not connected by kinship. This once again contradicts the liturgical hypothesis, as the stewards and servants were not connected to the cult of royal ancestors.
Usage Characteristics of Mobile Telecommunication Services: Individual Service Recipient Perspective in Rajshahi District of Bangladesh
Authors: Hossain Md. Zahid
Published: June 2022

Mobile telecommunication services proved to be a significant part of everyday life for the people of Bangladesh. The study's primary purpose was to examine the usage characteristics of subscribers to know the reality through an empirical study. The research study was descriptive and quantitative in approach to drawing meaningful facts. This study was conducted in the Rajshahi district in the northern region of Bangladesh. The sample size resulted in three hundred and seventy-eight for completing the survey. A simple random sampling technique was used to draw samples from male and female sampling units. The research used a cross-sectional survey design to collect primary data. In addition, the researcher administered a structured questionnaire as a research tool to find out the facts from the individual service recipients. Research findings show that individual service recipients’ usage characteristics influence the service marketing mix and brand equity to achieve a competitive advantage. For example, the study found that consumers are more interested in using services other than voice calls through their affordability does not support it. Moreover, responses from service recipients varied significantly, which becomes a significant challenge for the operators to blend the elements of the marketing mix. This study also shed light on the Inconvenience or problems the recipients face in consuming services. For example, the topmost inconvenience service recipients face is 'poor service quality’ like network interruption, poor quality network, and poor quality video streaming experience. Finally, the study suggests mobile operators in Bangladesh need to trigger a marketing mix by consistently considering the dynamism of usage characteristics of individual service recipients to utilize their marketing investment, increase brand equity, and achieve a significant competitive advantage.
Space Life Cycle Assessment: A Risk or Opportunity for the USA?
Authors: Wilson Andrew Ross , Neumann Shelia Scott
Published: June 2022

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a standardized method of analysis which is used to scientifically quantify environmental impacts associated with products, processes, or services over their entire lifetime. Within the European space sector, its application and perceived importance has exponentially increased in recent years to where it is beginning to become entwined with the procurement process. As such, it is highly probable the technique will become a common element of space mission design within Europe before the end of the decade. In comparison, very little work on space LCA has been conducted within the United States of America (USA), meaning the country is beginning to lag behind others in its ability to account for the life cycle environmental impacts of its space operations. This could become a serious problem for United States (U.S.) original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers in the near-term future due to misalignment or non-compliance with European procurement policies, with the potential to cause widespread supply chain disruption. Therefore, this work examines the extent to which the USA has fallen behind Europe on LCA of space assets and the risk this poses. However, the identified benefits of space LCA highlight the method could also act as an indispensable mechanism to further business success within the U.S. space sector beyond solely policy compliance. As such, a set of recommendations are outlined to encourage an intensification of research and development (R&D) on the concept within the U.S. space sector as a foundational principle to a sustainable global space economy.

Published: June 2022

Background: Land configuration decides the effectiveness of crop management practices and major land configuration practice includes raised bed preparation, ridges and furrows, broad bed furrows etc. The farmers’ practice of sowing in flatbed without proper land configuration, leads to poor growth and development of crops. A large portion of crop residues is burnt by the farmers in the fields to clear the left-over straw and stubbles. Conservation agriculture involving crop residue management can give new direction for sustaining productivity. The development issue of rainfed agriculture assumes critical importance in India due to slow growth and its impact on livelihood security of rural poor in India. Changes in crop establishment method in rice have significant implications in performing farm operations like tillage, seedbed preparations, transplanting, weeding and other intercultural operations including water management. The current study aimed to study the BF methods as land configuration including crop residue management in rainfed eco system in direct seeded rice based cropping system. Methods: In the field experiment during 2016-17 and 2017-18, different size of bed of Broad bed Furrow (BBF) including Flatbed was made manually consisting four replication. After final land preparation the experimental field was divided into four blocks and each block was divided in to six main plots to allocate the six soil moisture conservation practices randomly, for growing summer (direct seeded ahu rice), kharif (green gram) crops. The main plots were again divided in to four sub-plots to allocate the rabi crops randomly following a split-plot design. Incorporation of crop residues was done in the plots as per treatments. Result: The investigation resulted better performance of both the size of BBF beds as compared to flatbed method in respect of yield attributes and yield of the crops studied. Among the BBF, 60-30 cm size bed showed better than the BBF 120-30 cm size beds. The residue incorporation plots were shown comparatively better result than no residue incorporation treatments. The present study will be a contribution to the study of BBF particularly in pulse crops due to heavy rainfall received during kharif season in Assam.

The armed conflict between Israel and Palestine has not abated. Various kinds of annexation were carried out by Israel to seize the land of Palestine. Israel continues to do serious violations even though it is often criticized by the international community. This has caused many mass media to highlight the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, one of which is CNN Indonesia. This paper will examine the forms of war crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinian people through discourse analysis by taking data from the last three years presented by CNN Indonesia. In fact, Israel has violated many provisions of armed war that have been regulated in international law. Israel also violated the principles of Humanitarian Law by committing crimes of apartheid, humanity crimes, and war crimes. These facts are obtained from the news that was presented by CNN Indonesia. In spite of this channel belonging to the USA which is considered to have a special relationship with Israel, CNN Indonesia is conveying the news related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict objectively. This channel also conveys daily Israeli-Palestinian conflict news comprehensively and impartially.

 

Abstrak

Konflik bersenjata Israel dan Palestina sejak dahulu hingga kini belum juga reda. Berbagai macam aneksasi dilakukan Israel untuk merebut tanah Palestina. Israel tetap melakukan pelanggaran-pelanggaran berat meski seringkali dikecam dunia. Hal ini menyebabkan banyak media massa yang terus menyoroti konflik Israel-Palestina, salah satunya CNN Indonesia. Tulisan ini akan mengkaji bentuk-bentuk kejahatan perang yang dilakukan Israel terhadap rakyat Palestina melalui analisis wacana dengan mengambil data tiga tahun terakhir dari yang disajikan oleh CNN Indonesia. Kenyataannya Israel banyak melanggar ketentuan-ketentuan perang bersenjata yang telah diatur dalam hukum internasional. Israel juga melanggar prinsip-prinsip Hukum Humaniter dengan melakukan tindak kejahatan, berupa kejahatan apartheid, kejahatan kemanusiaan, dan kejahatan perang. Fakta ini diperoleh dari berita yang dipaparkan oleh CNN Indonesia. Meski saluran ini milik USA yang dinilai memiliki hubungan istimewa dengan Israel, namun CNN Indonesia cukup objektif dalam memaparkan berita terkait dengan konflik Israel-Palestina. Saluran ini menyajikan berita harian Israel-Palestina dengan komprehensif dan tidak memihak.

Published: June 2022

Using consumer socialization theory, this study examined the associations between perceived influence of parents, peers, employment, and media and spending behaviors of emerging adult college students from three different regions of the US: Northeast, South Atlantic, and Mountain regions. Data from the Emerging Adult Financial Capability Study (N = 2,322) were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Greater parental and employment influences perceived by the students were linked with more responsible spending behaviors, while greater peer and media influences were associated with less responsible spending behaviors. This study highlights the importance of the home and the workplace as the nexus for financial learning. This knowledge can help focus efforts to help future emerging adult college students learn responsible spending behaviors.
An Exploratory Study of the Associations Between the Hospital Work Environment and Implementation of Baby-Friendly Hospital Policy
Authors: Hallowell Sunny G.
Published: June 2022

A descriptive, cross-sectional study design was used to explore the relationships between the hospital work environment and implementation of the Baby-Friendly USA Ten Steps Policy in an urban hospital. Nurses reported the degree to which the Ten Steps policy was implemented, perceptions of the unit work environment using the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI), and self-efficacy related to the implementation of the policy. Results suggest that the work environment and the implementation of breastfeeding policy have separate and independent effects on nurse self-efficacy. Robust nursing leadership focused on education and skill development for clinicians, and focused on post-hospital care for patients and families are important contributory factors to successful breastfeeding policy implementation.
Evolution of Migration Interaction of the Kirov Region with the Soviet and Post- Soviet Baltics
Authors: Chernyshev Konstantin
Published: June 2022

For a long period of time, the Kirov oblast acts as a donor region in internal migration. The aim of the work is the analysis of migrations from the Kirov region to Baltic in 1946–2020. It is relevant to consider the migration interaction of the two territories with the involvement of an inseparable array of archival data over a long period of time. The work provides a review of data sources on internal interregional migration in the period after the end of World War II to the present. The conclusion is drawn on the incomparability in time of the indicators of the volumes of relocation and the need to use additional tools for a retrospective analysis of inter-regional migration ties. For this purpose, it is proposed to calculate the coefficients of the intensity of migration ties and the coefficients of the effectiveness of migration exchange. Based on the current accounting data, a periodization of population migration is proposed, for each period the intensity and effectiveness of migration ties of the Kirov region with St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, the Kaliningrad region, as well as Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia during their entry into the USSR are determined. Analysis of interregional migration in 1989–2015 supplemented by census and microcensus data. The most intensively and effectively for the Baltic regions the resettlement was carried out in the period after the end of the war until the end of the 1980s. Subsequently, the intensity of departures from the Kirov region and the proportion of natives in the population of the Baltic regions decreased. Migration ties with the Kaliningrad region, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region were more intense than with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, even during their entry into the USSR.
Los políticos estadounidenses y el mundo del cine
Authors: Migliucci Dario
Published: June 2022

El artículo analiza la manera en la que los políticos estadounidenses se enfrentaron a las problemáticas relativas a la aparición del cine y a la afirmación de las películas como fenómeno social en el periodo de entreguerras. En particular, tanto el aparato ejecutivo como el Congreso de Washington D.C. se preocuparon por la capacidad que directores y productoras adquirieron a la hora de difundir nuevas ideas y valores entre las masas. Surgieron entonces preguntas que, todavía en nuestro tiempo presente, siguen siendo de gran actualidad. ¿Dónde fijar los límites de la libertad de expresión? ¿Hasta qué punto el Estado está legitimado para reglamentar el sector de los medios de comunicación y censurar determinados contenidos? ¿Puede un Gobierno democrático producir obras artísticas con el fin de modificar actitudes y opiniones de sus propios ciudadanos?

Published: June 2022

Myocardial infarction without coronary artery obstruction, according to Russian authors, occurs from 4.1 to 10.3% of cases of all myocardial infarctions. Despite a fairly complete description of the term "acute myocardial infarction", there are often situations when the diagnosis may cause doubts and the cause of the condition cannot be found out. The article demonstrates a clinical case of a 26-year-old young man whose genesis of myocardial infarction after a detailed examination turned out to be unclear.
