Authors: Warsito Warsito , Rahmawati Anita
Published: August 2020

ABSTRAKBeton merupakan suatu material yang secara umum menjadi kebutuhan masyarakat terhadap fasilitas infrastruktur konstruksi yang semakin meningkat seiring dengan perkembangan zaman, oleh sebab itu pemilihan beton sebagai bahan baku utama konstruksi bangunan sangatlah penting. Beberapa hal yang perlu ditinjau dalam pembuatan beton adalah harganya relatif murah, mudah diperoleh, memiliki kuat tekan tinggi serta mempunyai sifat tahan terhadap faktor kondisi lingkungan. Abu Ampas Tebu (AAT) adalah sisa hasil pembakaran dari ampas tebu. Ampas tebu sendiri merupakan hasil limbah buangan yang berlimpah dari proses pembuatan gula. Tujuan penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mengetahui kuat tekan beton yang menggunakan serat bambu dan abu ampas tebu sebagai pengganti agregat halus dengan variasi tertentu yang mencapai 40%. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif eksperimen dan teknik analisa data menggunakan regresi. Variabel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah variabel bebas yang berupa variasi penggantian sebagian agregat halus menggunakan abu ampas tebu dan serat bambu. Hasil penelitian ini adalah beton dengan perbandingan komposisi campuran yang didapat sebelumnya dan hasil mix design beton normal maut sedang yaitu dengan besar kuat tekan fc’ 14,5 Mpa (K175) sampai dengan fc’17,15 Mpa (K210,6) yang kemudian ditambah dengan bahan AAT sebagai bahan penambah semen dan serat Bambu.Kata Kunci: Abu Ampas Tebu, Beton, Serat Bambu, Agregat ABSTRACTConcrete is a material that generally supports the community's need for construction of infrastructure facilities which is increasing along with the times. Selection of concrete as the main raw material for building construction is very important. There are benefits in making concrete such as low cost, ease to obtain, high compressive strength and resistancy to environmental conditions. Bagasse Ash (AAT) is the residue from the burning of sugarcane bagasse. Sugarcane bagasse itself is an abundant waste product from the sugar making processes. The purpose of this study was to determine the compressive strength of concrete using bamboo fibers and the AAT as a substitute for fine aggregate with certain variations reaching up to 40% with a concrete enhancer chemical aggregate. This research used the American Concrete Institute design method with a value of 0.40 and 0.45 on the concrete age of 28 days. Results found that the samples made were hard concrete with a comparison of the composition of the mixture obtained previously. Results of a normal deadly concrete mix design comprised with a large compressive strength fc '14.5 Mpa (K175) to fc '17, 15 Mpa (K210,6) which was then added to the AAT as aggregates in the cement and Bamboo fiber.Keywords: Bagasse Ash, Concrete, Bamboo, Aggregate
Marked reductions in outpatient antibiotic prescriptions for children and adolescents – a population-based study covering 83% of the paediatric population, Germany, 2010 to 2018
Authors: Holstiege Jakob , Schulz Maike , Akmatov Manas K , Steffen Annika , Bätzing Jörg
Published: August 2020

Background

Prescribing of systemic antibiotics in general and of cephalosporins in particular in German paediatric outpatients has previously been reported to be higher than in other European countries.

Aim

Our objective was to assess recent trends in antibiotic prescribing in German children.

Methods

This study was conducted as consecutive annual cross-sectional analyses and included all children aged 0–14 years (n = 9,389,183 in 2018) covered by statutory health insurance in Germany. Annual antibiotic prescription rates from 2010 to 2018 were calculated for the age groups 0–1, 2–5, 6–9 and 10–14 years. Poisson regression was used to estimate trends of prescription rates by age group and antibiotic subgroup.

Results

Overall, the age-standardised antibiotic prescription rate decreased significantly by 43% from 746 prescriptions per 1,000 persons in 2010 to 428 per 1,000 in 2018 (p < 0.001). Reductions were most pronounced in the age groups 0–1 year (−50%) and 2–5 years (−44%). The age group 2–5 years exhibited the highest prescription rate with 683 per 1,000 in 2018 (0–1 year: 320/1,000; 6–9 years: 417/1,000; 10–14 years: 273/1,000). Cephalosporins (second and third generation) accounted for 32% of prescribed antibiotics.

Conclusions

Marked reductions in antibiotic prescribing during the last decade indicate a change towards more judicious paediatric prescribing habits. Compared with other European countries, however, prescribing of second- and third-generation cephalosporins remains high in Germany, suggesting frequent first-line use of these substances for common respiratory infections. Considerable regional variations underline the need for regionally targeted interventions.
Edaravone, a new therapeutic option in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: Evaluation of challenges in the drug accessibility
Authors: Puchała Łukasz , Maksymowicz Stanisław , Siwek Tomasz , Mycko Marcin P.
Published: August 2020

Introduction: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease, with about 3–4 years median survival from the onset of symptoms. Only two therapies for ALS have been proven effective in slowing down this condition, riluzole and edaravone. Recently approved edaravone, either original or generic, is not registered in Poland. It can only be used after special approval of Polish Ministry of Health. The costs of payment have to be covered by patient in full. Aim: In this article we will describe the public demand of edaravone in Poland for ALS treatment and problems related to prescribing the drug, like procedures and prices. Material and methods: This article is based on the available literature and on data obtained from Polish Ministry of Health. Results and discussion: The high cost of therapy affects the relatively widespread use of generic medicines not registered in Europe. We identify mechanisms of the demand and supply for various formulations of edaravone in Poland. These information should be of relevance to many other countries, especially within the European Union. Conclusions: Medicines available from licensed manufacturer are more expensive than offers available on-line. Although original chain of distribution presents with unrivaled warranty to avoid purchasing of adulterated drug we report the challenges of the edaravone treatment initiation in ALS patients in Poland.

Published: August 2020

Wungu leaf (Graptophyllum pictum (L.) Griff) is a plant thought to have potential use in alleviating symptoms of diabetes mellitus. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the activity of wungu leaf extracts in decreasing blood glucose level of alloxan (200 mg/kg BW)-induced hyperglycemic mice. Extracts of wungu leaf were obtained by macerating with ethanol and then partitioning the extract with diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, and butanol. Each extract obtained was used to treat hyperglycemic mice for 28 days. The results showed that wungu leaf extracts have the ability to decrease the blood glucose level of hyperglycemic mice (dose 50 mg/kg BW). The ethyl acetate extract showed the highest activity, bringing about a decrease of blood glucose of 37.6 %. The wungu leaf extract has the potential to be developed as a source of anti-diabetic agents.

Actualmente, la información sobre el agroecosistema maíz en la región Frailesca de Chiapas, México, y sus formas de manejo, es insuficiente para atenderlo con estrategias de desarrollo sustentable. En la presente investigación se caracterizó; a través, de una tipificación los productores de maíz y su relación con la eficiencia energética y las formas de manejo de este. Es una investigación descriptiva y exploratoria desde un enfoque socio-agronómico en 300 casos de agricultores, con el apoyo de técnicas estadísticas descriptivas, así como multivariadas exploratorias de componentes principales y conglomerados. Se identificaron seis grupos o tipologías de productores sobre la base de 11 componentes principales que explican 73% de la variabilidad total. Todos los grupos de productores son energéticamente eficientes, lo que se asocia con la eficiencia productiva y económica del agroecosistema. En cuanto al rendimiento de grano, en todos los grupos de productores, oscila entre 2.8 y 4 t ha-1. Además, se identificaron tres grandes grupos de sistemas de manejo (convencional, agroecológico y mixto) que realizan los productores de maíz en la región Frailesca, Chiapas.

Published: August 2020

El garbanzo es una leguminosa, que se cultiva en dos regiones de México principalmente, noroeste (Sonora, Sinaloa y Baja california) y la región de El Bajío (Guanajuato, Michoacán y Jalisco); sin embargo, cada año la producción del cultivo está comprometida con la fusariosis vascular, una de las principales enfermedades que afectan al cultivo y que está asociada al complejo fúngico Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani, Rhizoctonia solani, Macrophomina phaseolina y Sclerotium rolfsii. Una alternativa de control biológico es la aplicación de Trichoderma, la que además tiene un efecto indirecto en la nutrición de la planta. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el antagonismo in vitro de dos cepas de Trichoderma harzianum (T1 y T2) y su efecto como biofertilizante. Se realizaron confrontaciones in vitro contra cepas de las razas de Fusariumoxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc 0, 1B/C, 5 y 6), Fusarium solani, Macrophomina phaseolina (MSonora y M-GTO) y Sclerotium rolfsii. Se evaluó el efecto de T2 como biofertilizante (TB) midiendo las variables: número de flores, vainas, altura de la planta, diámetro del tallo, longitud de la raíz y rendimiento de grano. Las dos cepas de T. harzianum mostraron antagonismo en diferente escala contra los patógenos. Adicionalmente, con el tratamiento donde se aplicó T. harzianum (TB) se presentaron incrementos en el número de flores (30%), vainas (24%), altura (3%), diámetro de las plantas (3.5%), así como la longitud de la raíz (13%) y rendimiento del grano (23%).
A Igreja e seu rosto histórico. Modelos de Igreja e modelo de Igreja na cidade
Authors: Cipolini Pedro Carlos
Published: August 2020

Autor pergunta: Uma vez que a Igreja traz na bagagem de sua experiência histórica o distintivo de várias fisionomias, não teria chegado o momento de ela procurar um novo rosto? Com efeito, na policêntrica, conflitiva e dinâmica realidade urbana atual, a pastoral de resultados está ultrapassada. A fisionomia do novo rosto da Igreja – Comunidade do Evangelho do amor-serviço – deveria distinguir-se pela misericórdia e pela fraterna acolhida. Abstract: The Author asks: Being that the Church carries in its past historical experience the distinction of various faces, has not the moment arrived for it to seek out a new face? In effect, in the polycentric, conflictive and dynamic reality of present-day urban life, the pastoral work after results is outdated. The countenance of a new face of the Church – the Community of the Gospel of love-service – should be distinguished by mercy and welcoming  fraternity.
Novel Aspects of Differences in Arterial Stiffness Parameters during Short Abstinent Period in Smokers vs. Non-smokers
Authors: Burián Zsófia Mrekváné , Pakai Annamária , Cziráki Attila , Verzár Zsófia
Published: August 2020

Although the effects of smoking on hemodynamics and arterial stiffness has already been evaluated from many aspects, self-controlled and 24-h data have remained a missing area. Ten healthy light smokers were examined in a cross-sectional observational study for 48 h [smoking was prohibited during the first 24 h (non-smoking day) and allowed during the second 24 h (smoking day)] with an oscillometric device. Control group consisted of ten healthy non-smokers. Peripheral blood pressures were significantly higher on the smoking day (134.11 ± 11.02 and 77.11 ± 10.64) than on the non-smoking day (127.23 ± 8.41, p = 0.017 and 71.25 ± 10.47, p = 0.02) or among non-smokers (120.80 ± 5.77, p = 0.005 and 68.37 ± 4.87, p = 0.04). Heart rate was significantly lower on the non-smoking day (64.89 ± 9.03) than among non-smokers (74.30 ± 8.22, p = 0.03) and on the smoking day (76.09 ± 10.53, p = 0.001). Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) was significantly higher on the smoking day (7.48 ± 1.17) than on the non-smoking day (7.00 ± 1.28, p = 0.03). Peripheral blood pressure results confirmed that smoking leads to both acute and subchronic elevation. Lower heart rate of smokers on the non-smoking day than non-smokers can be the consequence of improper heart rate adaptation to everyday activities. PWV values improved during the one-day long abstinent period suggesting that it is the most sensitive stiffness value to smoking cessation.
ECONOMIC SECURITY AS AN ELEMENT OF THE REGION’S DEVELOPMENT PROCESS ON THE EXAMPLE OF COMMUNES OF THE ŚWIĘTOKRZYSKIE VOIVODSHIP
Authors: Wiraszka Piotr , Karpinska Urszula
Published: August 2020

Economic security can be described as a process, in which one seeks to achieve a state of calmness and the ability to neutralize emerging threats, in a geographically or culturally defined space, in which an individual, legal entity or territory has a feeling similar to certainty that they have and will have sufficient the amount of resources to cover current needs and that there will be no risky situations that would deprive these entities of their resources. The aim of the article is to assess the diversification of economic security of communes in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodship in 2009-2018, using a synthetic measure. Empirical data were collected in spatial terms for 102 communes of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodship. The material used was data from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office and the Regional Accounting Chamber of Kielce for 2009-2017. When discussing the activities of local entities in the process of shaping economic security, the first thing to emphasize is the importance of Local Government Units (LGUs), the operation of which is key in ensuring the continuity of the development process and striving to ensure an adequate level of security. Economic security is expressed primarily in the economy's ability to survive and develop. The greater the economic potential of the national economy is at a higher level of socioeconomic development and shows faster growth dynamics, the more stable and durable its security is considered. The study showed a diversified level of financial security for communes in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodship. In 2018, the measure of the level of financial security ranged from 0.65 to 0.85, while from 0.69 to 0.87 in 2009.
A Comunicação política das micromobilizações na internet a partir da observação do hip hop em Curitiba
Authors: Prudencio Kelly , Da Silva Junior José Geraldo
Published: August 2020

O artigo apresenta uma perspectiva de análise para mobilizações políticas na internet, baseada na teoria da mobilização política ou dos processos políticos (MCADAM, McCARTHY e ZALD, 2008; TARROW, 2009, GAMSON, 1990), especificamente quando tratam dos processos de “alinhamento de quadros”. Com ela, a intenção é oferecer algum subsídio teórico para a observação de tais fenômenos, apresentando um exemplo a partir das micromobilizações na internet pelos grupos e indivíduos ligados ao hip hop em Curitiba. Entendemos que o processo de enquadramento da ação coletiva nas mídias digitais se constitui um trabalho de comunicação política.

Cao Guimarães: por uma escrita que se faz enquanto se pensa
Authors: De Almeida Rafael
Published: August 2020

O presente texto debruça-se sobre a obra do artista plástico e cineasta Cao Guimarães, interessado nos aspectos estéticos de seus trabalhos e suas implicações políticas latentes. Nosso objetivo é levantar os traços estilísticos mais recorrentes de sua obra cinematográfica, por meio de uma análise de conjunto dos filmes, que nos possibilitariam comprovar as aproximações que a totalidade da obra mantém com o filme-ensaio, para, por fim, propormos a percepção da obra cinematográfica de Cao Guimarães enquanto um cinema da superfície, por crer que tal noção permita uma aglutinação entre sua inflexão ensaística e as implicações políticas que acreditamos ser um encadeamento desta.
Crianças de Zuwara: imagens censuradas no Facebook
Authors: Heller Bárbara , Perazzo Priscila Ferreira , Souza Vinicius
Published: August 2020

As imagens dos refugiados sírios povoaram as mídias impressas e virtuais, em setembro de 2015. Enquanto a do menino Aylan Kurdi, morto por afogamento em uma praia na Turquia, tornou-se meme, fotos de outras cinco crianças sem vida, também vítimas da guerra civil na Síria, foram censuradas no Facebook. A partir de formulações de Barbie Zelizer, Susan Sontag e Jacques Rancière compreendemos que esses dois objetos midiáticos receberam tratamentos diferenciados, pois enquanto na do menino curdo observamos “arte engajada”, na das cinco crianças reconhecemos “arte política” e “imagem intolerável”.
Jogando com a comida: MasterChef e os recursos televisuais que tornam espetacular uma atividade ordinária
Authors: Marquioni Carlos Eduardo , Andacht Fernando
Published: August 2020

O artigo analisa o programa MasterChef enquanto um formato híbrido entre o reality show e o talent show. Aborda-se seu sucesso como associado a um letramento televisual que em seu estágio atual proporciona exposição à audiência da artificação culinária contemporânea. Além da análise semiótica e imanente, usa-se material obtido em entrevistas com membros da produção da primeira edição brasileira. O resultado seria que o aspecto culinário prático não constituiria a principal atração do programa. O formato possuiria cinco componentes que explicariam sua popularidade, entre eles destacam-se as ordálias da identidade dos participantes em provas de resistência psicológica tanto quanto culinária.
Reconhecimento tenso, acontecimento inaugural: na direção de outra comunicação
Authors: Aidar Prado Jose Luiz
Published: August 2020

A partir de uma teoria do acontecimento buscamos pensar a comunicação como circulação de marcas num campo tensivo, afetivamente investido, em que os sujeitos emergem ao serem fiéis ao processo de verdade instaurado com o acontecimento. A tensividade é pensada com Zilberberg, a teoria do acontecimento com Badiou, a formação do sujeito – submetido ao poder, mas capaz de agência –, com Butler e Safatle, que por sua vez propõe o desamparo como afeto fundamental. A comunicação se coloca, portanto, a partir da teoria do acontecimento, com cunho político, capaz de tematizar a transformação do circuito dos afetos e, portanto, a emergência de novas sociabilidades.
A comunicação e as organizações como sistemas complexos: uma análise a partir das perspectivas de Niklas Luhmann e Edgar Morin
Authors: Curvello João José Azevedo , Skroferneker Cleusa Maria Andrade
Published: August 2020

Este texto tem por objetivo refletir, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e análise teórica, sobre as possibilidades de compreensão e apreensão da complexidade das organizações e da comunicação a partir de lentes paradigmáticas que propõem concepções simultaneamente distintas e complementares. Por um lado, o Paradigma da Complexidade desenvolvido por Edgar Morin, que revela a exaustão do antigo paradigma, identificado como Paradigma da Simplicidade. De outro, a abordagem sistêmico-comunicacional de Niklas Luhmann, que muda o olhar para a relação de diferenciação que acontece entre sistema organizacional e ambiente e quebra com a tradição de análise do todo e da parte.

Este trabalho pretende discutir as relações complexas entre a atual cultura digital e o pensamento tecnocientífico contemporâneo, pautado pelo modelo das Tecnologias da Informação (TI). Descrevemos como esse tipo de pensamento foi estruturado à medida que surge um self moderno, internalizado e com uma visão do mundo como

construção intelectual. Usamos os universos e discursos sobre os sons digitais e analógicos como exemplo dos ideários fáustico e prometeico das tecnologias, conceitos propostos pelo sociólogo Hermínio Martins.

Sujeito e discurso da racionalidade técnica na sociedade mediática
Authors: Reis Angela Pintor dos
Published: August 2020

Este ensaio discute em que condições a racionalidade técnica constitui um composto com a sociedade mediática para a constituição de um sujeito normalizado. Como suporte à discussão são desenvolvidas relações entre dispositivos de construção do sujeito e dispositivos de três tipos de discurso, a saber: o do mestre moderno, o universitário e o competente. Sujeito e discurso são conceitualmente considerados no contexto da teoria lacaniana, sendo o discurso compreendido como o liame social a partir do qual o sujeito se constrói e sobre o qual se projeta. A racionalidade técnica é considerada como ideologia de dominação, nos termos desenvolvidos por Marcuse, Habermas, Weber e Heidegger.

Três formas do experimentalismo na MPB da década de 1970
Authors: Vargas Herom
Published: August 2020

Neste artigo, pretende-se analisar aspectos e características da produção experimental de compositores e grupos da música popular brasileira dos anos 1970, período marcado pela ditadura militar e pela expansão das indústrias midiáticas ligadas ao campo da canção popular (gravadoras e emissoras de TV). Parte-se da discussão teórica sobre experimentalismo feita por Umberto Eco e do conceito de “canção crítica”, de Santuza C. Naves, para pensar a “canção experimental”. Serão apontadas três linhas gerais da experimentação praticada por esses criadores: 1) relação entre tradição e modernidade, como herança tropicalista, mas efetivada em outro patamar; 2) experimentalismo como exercício estético realizado especificamente na materialidade do código poético e musical da canção visando determinados significados; 3) uso criativo do corpo e da performance como elementos produtores de sentido, em sintonia com a leitura nacional da contracultura.

Entrevista – Will Straw e a importância da ideia de cenas musicais nos estudos de música e comunicação
Authors: Janotti Junior Jeder Silveira
Published: August 2020

Em generosa entrevista concedida em março ao professor Jeder Janotti Jr, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Will Straw atualiza e reconsidera uma série de pontos polêmicos que ainda configuram os debates em torno da ideia de cenas musicais. Como é possível perceber em suas respostas, Straw mostra como sua proposta tenta dar conta das relações formadas na circulação global da música popular massiva, sem deixar de lado possíveis encaixes com circulações restritas e referências regionalizadas. Antes de afirmar a validade de uma noção rígida de cena, o pesquisador canadense reconhece que tal como o consumo e a produção de música, a noção de cenas musicais também passou por transformações significativas nos últimos tempos.
Doença mental e consumo nas revistas semanais brasileiras
Authors: Vaz Paulo Roberto Gibaldi
Published: August 2020

O artigo propõe considerar reportagens sobre transtornos mentais publicadas em revistas semanais brasileiras, nos últimos 15 anos, como peças publicitárias para estimular o consumo de medicamentos, especificamente, de antidepressivos. Investiga, então, o nexo entre consumo e subjetividade contemporânea pelo estudo das estratégias retóricas que permitem ao indivíduo se conceber como um

possível doente e, assim, consumidor de medicamentos.

Duas estratégias são enfatizadas. Uma contorna o estigma associado à doença mental por separar o sofrimento da moral; a outra analisa o uso de testes como modo de gerar uma incerteza no indivíduo sobre a normalidade de seus estados mentais.

John Hobson e a psicologia do jingoísmo: a metáfora da agulha hipodérmica e as origens da teoria crítica da propaganda
Authors: Rüdiger Francisco
Published: August 2020

John Hobson concebeu estudo pioneiro do que viria a ser chamado de propaganda, em que, pela primeira vez, quem sabe, emprega a figura da agulha hipodérmica, não obstante a relativize criticamente, situando seus termos em relação à sua célebre teoria do imperialismo e a uma primitiva reflexão sobre as bases históricas da cultura de

massas. Analisando como o autor desenvolve esse raciocínio em The Psychology of Jingoism (1901), revelamos no artigo a contribuição altamente original deste pioneiro aos estudos críticos de mídia. O argumento desenvolvido em conclusão é o de que, embora sua obra mostre que os meios exercem uma influência que depende do contexto histórico e das forças que nele intervêm, esta influência não tem um sentido inexorável, necessariamente favorável seja aos donos do poder e da imprensa, como demonstra, vista de forma distanciada, própria cobertura da Guerra dos Boers.

Modernity as a Process of De-Limitations
Authors: Schelkshorn Hans
Published: August 2020

This article presents some outlines of a new theory of modernity. As distinct from the theories of modernity of the Enlightenment (Habermas) and their critique in the form of theories of power (Foucault, post-colonial philosophies), modernity is described as a complex process of various “de-limitations”, which is set in motion in Renaissance philosophy. Since in antiquity cosmology as well as the geography of the ecumene were each tied to anthropological, ethical and political conceptions respectively, the de-limitation of the cosmos (Cusanus, Copernicus) and the de-limitation of the ecumene by the European naval powers trigger scientific, political and cultural transformations reaching from the upvaluation of insatiable curiosity to the anthropological idea of experimental self-creation (Montaigne) up to the idea of limitless economic growth (Locke). Since rational, power-related and cultural ideas are amalgamated in the different de-limitations, this theory opens up a new perspective on the ambivalences of modernity.
Behind the Curtains of the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs in the middle of the 1930s. On the Edition Deutschland und die Sowjetunion 1933–1941. Dokumente aus russischen und deutschen Archiven (2019)
Authors:   Institute of Contemporary History, Munich — Berlin, Tischler Carola
Published: August 2020

Research on international relations today is no longer limited to diplomatic contacts but also includes economic and cultural ties. Another factor that should not be neglected is the people themselves; the personalities who shaped politics. This text focuses on those concerned with German-Soviet relations in the 1930s, both at the “centre” in Moscow and at the Soviet plenipotentiary representation in Berlin. This article deals with this range of problems against the background of Soviet-German relations in the 1930s both in the Kremlin and in the Soviet mission in Berlin. The article is based on archival ma- terials discovered and published in the framework of the edition project “Germany and the USSR 1933–1941” pursued under the aegis of the Joint Commission on the Study of Contemporary History in Russian-German Relations. The methodological guidelines are borrowed from the works of Western historiography. The documents under scrutiny shed the light on the functioning of one of the primary foreign-political instruments — the diplomatic corpus of the Soviet Union and Germany. In the documents published in Volume 2, three main areas of the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Relations’ (Narko- mindel) functioning are covered: the personnel responsible for the Soviet-German relations, the inner life of the Soviet mission in Berlin, and the work of the central apparatus in Moscow. On the basis of the interdepartmental correspondence of the Narkomindel staff, their memoranda, and the impressions of the German diplomats, one can get an impression of the level of professionalism of at least some Soviet diplomats. In sum- mary, owing to the publication of such a large amount of documents from the Russian and German archives, historians from different countries can now pursue research on a wide range of problems related to the international relations of the 1930s and early 1940s, which is extraordinarily important for understanding the causes and mechanisms which led to World War Two.

The review is dedicated to the recent monograph by the Slovak historian Peter Švorc on Jurij Lažo (1867–1929). The book is a meticulously researched biography of the Rusyn national political activist set against the background of the history of the Carpathian Rusyns, Austria-Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. The author pays increased attention to the issues of national and confessional identity of the Rusyn population of the Prešov region and Subcarpathian Rus’. J. Lažo went down in history primarily as a Senator who represented the interests of Rusyn villagers in the Czechoslovak Parliament, and as a ﬁ ghter for the conversion of Greek Catholics to the Orthodox Church. Leger acted as a consistent proponent of the “all-Russian” (all-Eastern Slavic) national-language trend and a critic of the Magyarization and later Slovakization of the Rusyns. All six chapters of the monograph differ in their originality, and are based on documents from various archives in the Slovak Republic, the Czech Republic, and Austria. Despite the remain- ing gaps in the biography of Jurij Lažo, Peter Švorc’s book is a valuable contribution to the historiography of this topic.

The round table, “Information resources of the State Historical Public Library of Russia for Slavists: the practice of using” was held on 25 February 2020 at the State Historical Public Library of Russia. It was opened by the director of the Historical Public Library, Mikhail D. Afanasiev, and by the director of the Institute of Slavic Studies, Konstantin V. Nikiforov, who underscored the importance of libraries for education, historical science, and Slavic studies in Russia. Specialists from the Historical Public Library discussed ways of acquiring foreign literature for Slavic studies and of networking with colleagues, libraries, and science centres in other Slavic countries; and provided information regarding Slavic studies in Belarus, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Poland, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Ukraine, Croatia, Montenegro, and the Czech Republic. For the Round table, an exhibition of foreign literature for Slavic studies was opened, which included items acquired by the Historical Public Library in 2018 and 2019. The exhibition contained more than 700 publications. Colleagues from the Institute of Slavic Studies presented some books published by the Institute of Slavic Studies, including “Slaves and Russia”. They have been publishing since 2013, when they released the translation of M. Sekulich’s book “Knin failed in Belgrad. Why did the Serb Republic of Krajina die?” and N. Vujović’s memoirs “The last ﬂ ight from Dayton. Closed-door negotiations”.

Human resource (HR), in governmental organization which is familiar with civil servants, are expected to be able to explode their energy, thoughts, talents, and creativity to achieve organizational goals. Employee work results are the results of quality and quantity of work achieved by an employee in carrying out the duty in accordance with the responsibilities given. To assess the quality of human resources, it can be measured by employee performance. Various problems found in the field showed that the factors such work motivation, discipline, work environment, education and training (DIKLAT) of BAPEDAL Aceh Province employees need to be further improved so that overall employee performance becomes better, therefore further function and the duty of BAPEDAL can be carried out based on the objectives expected by the agency. This research was conducted for the Influence of Motivation, Discipline, Work Environment, Education and workshop towards the Performance of Civil Servants of the Environmental Impact Management Agency (Bapedal) of Aceh Province. The results of the study provedthat simultaneously work motivation, work discipline, work environment and training significantly influence Beta Y (civil servants’performance)
Potensi Diri & Gambar-Rupa Allah
Authors: Hanock Edward Everson
Published: August 2020

Teologi Kristen memandang manusia adalah ciptaan Allah yang segambar-serupa dengan-Nya (bnd. Kej. 1-2). Implikasi dari pandangan ini berdampak cukup luas. Bukan saja pada pewarisan sifat-sifat-Nya, melainkan juga pada pertanyaan serius, apakah potensi diri manusia itu terdapat dalam gambar-rupa Allah yang dimiliki manusia tersebut? Untuk menelisik lebih jauh keberadaan potensi diri manusia dalam perspektif teologi, maka penelitian ini akan menggunakan pendekatan kepustakaan. Informasi-informasi dari sejumlah literatur, termasuk beberapa bagian Alkitab, akan dikaji guna menjawab pertanyaan di atas. Hasil dari penelitian ini menggambarkan bahwa manusia benar-benar memiliki potensi yang unggul, yang secara tidak langsung terdapat di dalam dirinya sebagai pemilik gambar-rupa Allah.
Frizzled class 7 receptor is differentially expressed in high-grade serous ovarian cancer and based on patient survival.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2020

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) is the most common type of the most lethal gynecologic malignancy (1). To identify genes whose expression was associated with survival outcomes in HGSC, we used published data from patients enrolled in the ICON7 trial to compare the global gene expression profiles of primary HGSC tumors from women with the best and worst progression-free survival (PFS) (2). We found that the Frizzled class 7 (Fzd7) receptor was among the genes most differentially expressed in HGSC tumors when comparing tumor transcriptomes based on superior or inferior PFS. In two independent datasets, Fzd7 was among the genes most differentially expressed in HGSC tumors when comparing primary tumor to the normal ovary (3, 4). Wnt pathway signaling through Fzd7 may be relevant to the biology of high-grade serous ovarian cancers.

Comparing the sensitivity of face matching assessments to detect face perception deficits
Authors: Mishra Maruti V , Fry Regan , Saad Elyana , Arizpe Joseph , Ohashi Yuri-Grace , DeGutis Joseph
Published: August 2020

Numerous neurological, developmental, and psychiatric conditions demonstrate impaired face recognition abilities, which can be socially debilitating. These impairments could be caused by either deficient face perceptual processes, such as reduced ability to integrate face parts into a whole, or deficient face memory processes, such as reduced ability to associate a face with semantic information. Research and clinical practice have focused more on developing face memory assessments, while it currently remains unclear which face perception assessments best captures perceptual deficits. A validated face perception measure could not only help with diagnosing the causes of face recognition deficits but could also help determine the most appropriate treatment. Here, we compare several available face perception assessments to identify those that can best assess perception deficits in developmental prosopagnosics. Thirty prosopagnosics and thirty age-matched neurotypical controls completed a battery of four face perception assessments, namely, computerized Benton Face Recognition Test, Cambridge Face Perception Test, University of Southern California Face Perception Test, and Telling Faces Together Test. They were also evaluated on two face recognition/ memory measures- Cambridge face memory test and famous faces memory test. We used logistic regression for the perception tests to predict prosopagnosic vs. control group membership and used multiple linear regressions to predict continuous objective and subjective measures of face recognition memory. Our results show that the Benton face test was the most reliable (α = 0.74), sensitive (AUC= 0.83), and predictive assessment of prosopagnosia diagnosis and face memory performance across the groups. The Cambridge face perception test also performed adequately well in terms of test sensitivity (AUC=0.80) and predicted face memory performance across the groups. Further, we found that face lighting change trials better predicted DP group membership and face recognition abilities than viewpoint-change trials. Together, these results have direct clinical application in assessing populations with face processing difficulties.
Psychological underpinnings of pandemic denial-patterns of disagreement with scientific experts in the German public during the COVID-19 pandemic

We investigated pandemic denial in the general public in Germany after a first wave of COVID-19 in May 2020. Using Latent Class Analysis, we compared patterns of disagreement with claims about (a) the origin, spread or infectiousness of the Sars-CoV-2 virus and (b) the personal risk from COVID-19 between scientific laypersons (N = 1,575) and scientific experts (N = 128). Two groups in the general public differed distinctively from expert evaluations. The Dismissive (8%) are characterized by low-risk assessment, low compliance with containment measures and mistrust in politicians. The Doubtful (19%) are characterized by low cognitive reflection, high uncertainty in the distinction between true and false claims and high social media intake. Our research indicates that pandemic denial cannot be linked to a single and distinct pattern of psychological dispositions but involves different subgroups within the general population that share high COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs and low beliefs in epistemic complexity.
A Description–Experience Framework of the Dynamic Response to Risk
Authors: Hertwig Ralph , Wulff Dirk U.
Published: August 2020

The modern world holds countless risks for humanity, both large-scale and intimately personal—from cyber warfare, pandemics, and climate change to sexually transmitted diseases and drug use and abuse. Many risks have prompted institutional, regulatory, and technological countermeasures, the success of which depends to some extent on how individuals learn about the risks. We distinguish between two powerful but imperfect teachers of risk. First, people may learn by consulting symbolic and descriptive material, such as warnings, statistics, and images. Yet more often than not, a risk’s fluidity defies precise description. Second, people may learn about risks through personal experience. Responses to risk can differ systematically depending on whether people learn through one mode, both, or neither. One important reason for these differences is the discrepancy in the cognitive impact that rare events (typically the risk event) and common events (typically the non-occurrence of the risk event) have on the decision maker. We propose a description–experience framework that highlights the dynamic relationship of description and experience and the importance of the statistical structure of risk events and that offers a new perspective on humans’ sometimes puzzling responses to risks.
