Polityka zagraniczna i bezpieczeństwa Islamskiej Republiki Iranu wobec Afryki Subsaharyjskiej
Authors: Czulda Robert
Published: April 2020

Celem artykułu jest zanalizowanie miejsca, jakie w kalkulacjach i polityce zagranicznej i bezpieczeństwa Iranu odgrywa Afryka Subsaharyjska. W tym celu zostaną zanalizowane takie aspekty jak ewolucja podejścia do tego subregionu, jego znaczenie w geostrategicznych kalkulacjach Teheranu oraz porównanie założeń z faktycznymi sukcesami. Hipotezą badawczą jest stwierdzenie, że Afryka Subsaharyjska zyskała w ostatnich latach na dużym znaczeniu w polityce Iranu (podczas prezydentury Mahmuda Ahmadineżada), ale polityczna i gospodarcza słabość tego państwa, a także celowe działania Arabii Saudyjskiej, w drastyczny sposób ograniczają możliwość penetracji tego kontynentu przez Iran oraz wyznaczają granice afrykańsko-irańskiego zbliżenia, szczególnie na płaszczyźnie politycznej i militarnej. W ramach prowadzonej analizy istotne są następujące pytania: w jakim zakresie i dlaczego Afryka Subsaharyjska jawi się z perspektywy niektórych irańskich decydentów jako atrakcyjny sub-region? W jakim zakresie i dlaczego poszczególni decydenci (prezydenci) Iranu różnią się w ocenie znaczenia Afryki? W jakim stopniu rywalizacja irańsko-saudyjska przekłada się na skuteczność polityki w Teheranie?
Biocentrism and Marxism: Bloch’s Concept of Life and the Spirit of Utopia
Authors: Moir Cat
Published: April 2020

This article argues that Ernst Bloch’s (1885-1977) early philosophical development was profoundly influenced by a biocentric perspective that dominated European culture in the decades around the turn of the twentieth century. Biocentrism covers a range of artistic and intellectual currents united by a commitment to embodied life, the natural world, and the insights of the flourishing biological sciences. Despite the clear filiations between biocentrism and völkisch and fascist ideologies, as this article demonstrates, Bloch combined aspects of biocentrism with a Marxist viewpoint in an attempt to counter his political opponents—even as that meant occasionally moving in the same conceptual territory.
Fransa’da Değişen Siyasal Paradigma Çerçevesinde Radikal Solun Yükselişi
Authors: Arslantaş Şenol , Arslantaş Düzgün
Published: April 2020

2007-2008 finansallaşmış kapitalist krizin patlak vermesinin ardından Avrupa’da birçok hükümet, kriz yönetim stratejisi olarak kemer sıkmayı benimsemiştir. Ancak kemer sıkma, erken beklentilerin aksine, iktisadi ve sosyal durumu ağırlaştırarak birçok ülkede geleneksel siyasi ayarları alt üst etmiştir. Özellikle Güney Avrupa’da bu siyasi krizin izlerini sürmek mümkün olmakla birlikte, gelişmiş kapitalist bir ülke olmasına rağmen Fransa’da meydana gelen siyasi paradigma değişikliği, oldukça istisnai bir örnek teşkil etmektedir. Bu bağlamda kemer sıkma çağında Fransa’da radikal sol FG ve FI ile radikal sağ FN, sırasıyla, PS ve UMP’nin ulusal parti sistemi üzerindeki hegemonyasını sona erdirmiştir. Ne var ki radikal aktörlerin eş zamanlı yükselişine rağmen literatürde ilkine yönelik ilgi zayıf düzeyde kalmıştır. Bu nedenle, bu makalede, Fransız solunda son yıllarda belirgin hale gelen yeniden gruplaşma eğiliminin temel nedenleri analiz edilmektedir. Spesifik olarak, yapısal politik ekonomik koşullar, toplumsal hareketlilik ve toplumsal protesto dinamikleri ile politik kurumsal koşulların sol rekabete etkileri tartışılmaktadır. Araştırmada PS’nin 1990’larda Üçüncü Yol akımına eklemlenmesinin ardından geleneksel programına yabancılaşarak yükselen krizlere yanıt verememesi ile Hollande döneminde ana akım kriz yönetim stratejisine eklemlenerek kemer sıkma politikaları izlemesinin radikal sol partilerin yükselişini tetiklediği savunulmaktadır. Bununla birlikte kemer sıkma karşıtı zayıf toplumsal hareketlilik ile FN’nin kamusal söylemi tayin eder hale gelmesi, söz konusu aktörlerin seçim başarılarını kayda değer biçimde sınırlandırmıştır.
Regulations on Access to Government Information and Impacts on Open Government: A Case of Turkey
Authors: Eroğlu Şahika
Published: April 2020

The fundamental elements of open government, i.e. openness, participation, and collaboration, can be secured through well-structured regulations governing access to information. Therefore, existing access to information regulations, which are based upon the pre-open government era, should be structured or updated under the mandates of open government. The present study assumes the perspective of the relevant literature to consider the effectiveness of regulations governing access to information in public’s access to information, their relationships with the government, and the effects of open government on regulations governing access to information. With its starting point in the literature, the study assesses the scope of the existing Law on the Right to Information in Turkey, as a country preparing for an open government in line with specific criteria, and defines the effects of this Law on the preparations for an open government, as well as its current/potential shortcomings. Using document analysis as its research methodology, this study reveals that the Law on the Right to Information in Turkey does not sufficiently cover the requirements of open government. The research conclusions are presented along with recommendations for the updated structuring of the Law on the Right to Information.
Fransa’da Yerel Yönetimlerce Kullanılan Anayasal Bir Araç: Deney
Authors: Özlü Rukiye Mehtap
Published: April 2020

Fen bilimlerinin daha çok kullandığı deney tekniği, 20. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından itibaren hukukçuların ve sosyal bilimcilerin de uğraş alanına girmeye başlamıştır. Bu alanlarda deney; bir kural, bir yetki ya da mekanizmayı test ya da tecrübe etmek olarak tanımlanabilir. Kural, yetki ya da mekanizma belli bir alanda test edilerek izlenmesinin ardından elde edilen sonuçlara göre ya ülke genelinde genelleştirilecek ya (değiştirilerek) tekrar denenecek ya da top yekûn terk edilecektir. Fransa’da 1960’lardan itibaren kullanılan bu araç, nihayetinde 2003 Anayasa reformuyla anayasal bir nitelik kazanmıştır. Hem devlet hem de yerel yönetimler ve birlikleri bu uygulamayı yönetebilmektedirler. Yerel deney, hükümet tarafından çizilen hukuki sınırlar çerçevesinde deney uygulamasının yerel yönetimler ve birliklerince yönetilmesi olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Yerelin ve ihtiyaçlarının çeşitliliği göz önünde bulundurularak bu birimlerin idari, mali kapasitelerine bağlı olarak farklılaştırılmış politikaların geliştirilmesine izin verdiğinden yerel deney, Türk hukukuna yabancı incelenmesi gereken bir kavramdır. Ayrıca deneye konu olan uygulama, ülke geneline yaygınlaştırılmadan önce belirlenen alanda test edilme imkânı bulacağından, somut bulgular ışığında yetki paylaşımında rasyonelleşme sağlanacaktır. Bu sebeple çalışmanın konusunu, Fransa’da uygulanan yerel deney aracı oluşturmaktadır. Öncelikli olarak yerel deney aracının yasal kaynağı, prosedürü ve denetim yöntemleri incelenmektedir. Ardından merkez-yerel ve yerel yönetsel birimler arasında gerçekleşen yetki paylaşımını rasyonelleştirmek için kullanılan deney aracının subsidiarite ilkesiyle ilişkisi açıklanmaktadır.

Published: April 2020

Der Artikel gibt eine anwendungsbezogene Einführung in das religiöse Selbstkonzept Grid (RSG). Dabei handelt es sich um eine Variante der Repertory Grid Technik, die den Fokus auf das religiöse oder spirituelle Selbstkonzept einer Person richtet. Zunächst werden die Vorläufer dieser Methode, die Selbst-Identitäts-Grafik (SIG) von Norris und Makhlouf-Norris (1976) und das Selbstkonzept-Gitter (SG) von Orklik (1979) dargestellt. Darauf aufbauend wird in das religiöse Selbstkonzept Grid (RSG) eingeführt. Interpretationsmöglichkeiten werden anhand von zwei Fallbeispielen von Neumitgliedern der Zeugen Jehovas erläutert. Abschließend werden auf Möglichkeiten thematisiert, das diagnostische Potenzial des RSG für therapeutische Prozesse fruchtbar zu machen.
Comparing causal logics: A configurational analysis of proximities using simulated data
Authors: Rutten Roel
Published: April 2020

Unnoticed by economic geography for fifteen years, Boschma’s (2005) proximity paper conflates two different causal logics: regularity and substantive interpretation. The former is dominant in variable-based methods, the latter in case-based methods. Using the proximities approach as an example, this paper explains the differences between both logics. A QCA (Qualitative Comparative Analysis) study on simulated data demonstrates how case-based methods use substantive interpretation for causal inference. QCA is an important innovation in case-based methods that, thus far, economic geography has largely missed. QCA challenges the search for causal effects of individual causes and presents configurational causality as a compelling alternative.
“Stronger Is Better”: Gale Gillingham, the Weight-Trained Green Bay Packer All-Pro
Authors: Shurley Jason P.
Published: April 2020

Shurley, JP. “Stronger is better”: Gale Gillingham, the weight-trained Green Bay Packer all-pro. J Strength Cond Res 34(5): 1201–1212, 2020—In the 1960s, many sport coaches advised their athletes not to lift weights, with some going so far as to threaten to dismiss or punish any who were caught engaging in such training. Their advice or threats were well intentioned as both were prompted by fears that weight training would make an athlete less flexible, slower, and less coordinated, known more colloquially as “muscle bound.” Nonetheless, some athletes took up barbells despite that conventional wisdom and helped play a vital role in dispelling the notion that weight training would hamper athletic performance. Gale Gillingham was one of those athletes. He began weight training as an adolescent and continued to train throughout his career in intercollegiate and professional football. The size, strength, and speed he developed through long-term strength training enabled him to become an all-conference player in college, first-round draft pick in the National Football League, and a 6-time All-Pro offensive lineman. In addition to his dedication to regular training, Gillingham was innovative in the way he lifted, incorporating very high intensity and partial lifts as regular components of his workouts. Despite his many accolades, Gillingham has not received the attention he deserves for his pioneering role in demonstrating the utility of long-term strength training to enhance athletic performance. This article seeks to correct that oversight and discusses his career, training, and contributions to the field of strength and conditioning.
The Neural Mechanism of the Social Framing Effect: Evidence from fMRI and tDCS Studies

Published: April 2020

As an important cognitive bias, the framing effect shows that our decision preferences are sensitive to the verbal description (i.e., frame) of options. This study focuses on the neural underpinnings of the social framing effect, which is based on decision-making regarding other people. A novel paradigm was used in which participants made a trade-off between economic benefits and the feelings of others. This decision was described as either a “harm” to, or “not helping,” other persons in two conditions (Harm frame vs Help frame). Both human males and females were recruited. Participants behaved more prosocially for Harm frame compared with Help frame, resulting in a significant social framing effect. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, Experiment 1 showed that the social framing effect was associated with stronger activation in the temporoparietal junction (TPJ), especially its right part. The functional connectivity between the right TPJ (rTPJ) and medial prefrontal cortex predicted the social framing effect on the group level. In Experiment 2, we used transcranial direct current stimulation to modulate the activity of the rTPJ and found that the social framing effect became more prominent under anodal (excitatory) stimulation, while the nonsocial framing effect elicited by the economic gain/loss gambling frame remained unaffected. The rTPJ results might be associated with moral conflicts modulated by the social consequences of an action or different levels of mentalizing with others under different frame conditions, but alternative interpretations are also worth noting. These findings could help elucidate the psychological mechanisms of the social framing effect.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTPrevious studies have suggested that the framing effect is generated from an interaction between the amygdala and anterior cingulate cortex. This opinion, however, is based on findings from nonsocial framing tasks. Recent research has highlighted the importance of distinguishing between the social and nonsocial framing effects. The current study focuses on the social framing effect and finds out that the temporoparietal junction and its functional connectivity with the medial prefrontal cortex play a significant role. Additionally, modulating the activity of this region leads to changes in social (but not nonsocial) framing effect. Broadly speaking, these findings help understand the difference in neural mechanisms between social and nonsocial decision-making. Meanwhile, they might be illuminating to promote helping behavior in society.
Type I Interferons Act Directly on Nociceptors to Produce Pain Sensitization: Implications for Viral Infection-Induced Pain

Published: April 2020

One of the first signs of viral infection is body-wide aches and pain. Although this type of pain usually subsides, at the extreme, viral infections can induce painful neuropathies that can last for decades. Neither of these types of pain sensitization is well understood. A key part of the response to viral infection is production of interferons (IFNs), which then activate their specific receptors (IFNRs) resulting in downstream activation of cellular signaling and a variety of physiological responses. We sought to understand how type I IFNs (IFN-α and IFN-β) might act directly on nociceptors in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) to cause pain sensitization. We demonstrate that type I IFNRs are expressed in small/medium DRG neurons and that their activation produces neuronal hyper-excitability and mechanical pain in mice. Type I IFNs stimulate JAK/STAT signaling in DRG neurons but this does not apparently result in PKR-eIF2α activation that normally induces an anti-viral response by limiting mRNA translation. Rather, type I IFNs stimulate MNK-mediated eIF4E phosphorylation in DRG neurons to promote pain hypersensitivity. Endogenous release of type I IFNs with the double-stranded RNA mimetic poly(I:C) likewise produces pain hypersensitivity that is blunted in mice lacking MNK-eIF4E signaling. Our findings reveal mechanisms through which type I IFNs cause nociceptor sensitization with implications for understanding how viral infections promote pain and can lead to neuropathies.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTIt is increasingly understood that pathogens interact with nociceptors to alert organisms to infection as well as to mount early host defenses. Although specific mechanisms have been discovered for diverse bacterial and fungal pathogens, mechanisms engaged by viruses have remained elusive. Here we show that type I interferons, one of the first mediators produced by viral infection, act directly on nociceptors to produce pain sensitization. Type I interferons act via a specific signaling pathway (MNK-eIF4E signaling), which is known to produce nociceptor sensitization in inflammatory and neuropathic pain conditions. Our work reveals a mechanism through which viral infections cause heightened pain sensitivity

Published: April 2020

Import becomes one of the components to calculate economic growth. During 1981-2014, a series of variation in Indonesia import has occured. In addition, the increase of GDP, the occurrence of domestic economic shocks, the increase of inflation rate, the increase of population and the increase of total reserves were alleged to influence the variation of Indonesia import. This research aims to analyze the factors affecting Indonesia imports. The variables used in this research are GDP growth, domestic economic shocks, inflation rate, population, and total reserves. Econometric analysis model used in this research is Error Correction Model (ECM). The results of this research reveal several outcomes: (1) the data is stationary at first difference; (2) the data is cointegrated meaning that there is a connection in long-term parameters; and (3) ECT coefficient/speed of adjustment is -0.6881 and significant is at ? = 5% meaning that the model used is valid. The conclusions of this research are: (1) In the short term, domestic economic shocks, inflation rate, population, and total reserves have a significant effect on the Indonesia import; (2) In the long term, inflation rate, population, and total reserves have a significant effect on Indonesia import.

Contract farming (CF) is an important tool to initiate structural transformation of agricultural sector in developing countries. However, one of pertinent problems in its establishment is asymmetric information. This problem creates a condition of mutual distrust between the contracting parties and decreases farmer’s participation in it. Thus, this study aimed to explain the asymmetric information problem in CF and find the correlates of farmer’s participation in it. As one of important industrial crops, this study focused on tobacco CF. This study was conducted at two villages (Antirogo and Nogosari) on two different sub-district (Sumbersari and Rambipuji) in Jember. A sample of 113 farmers were interviewed to collect the data. A descriptive analysis was used to explain the contract arrangement and asymmetric information in tobacco CF. A probit estimation was used to identify the coorelates of farmer’s participation in tobacco CF. The results showed that asymetric information does exists in tobacco CF and can be minimized through intense monitoring and increased transparancy. Both of these are possible when the company contracting directly with farmers. Meanwhile, younger farmer and those with more land are more likely to participate in CF. Furthermore, participation in CF is highly correlated with the increases in farm income. Finally, policy aimed to fostering CF should focused more on regulation that minimize the transaction cost of CF. In addition, in the long term, the policy should focused on incentivize young farmers and encouraging youth to enter agriculture.
Treatment to adult perpetrators of intrafamilial sexual abuse in Brazil: psychodrama as strategy
Authors: Fortunato Costa Liana , dos Santos Wolff Lana , Schettino Tavares Andrea , Nunes Nogueira Raiane , Magnabosco Marra Marlene
Published: April 2020

The Brazilian policy to combat sexual violence emphasizes the importance of protecting victims, as well as accounting for and taking care of the perpetrator. The aim of this paper is to describe one strategy that is being used to address difficult issues – such as the processes of offenders’ own victimization itself, the expression of sexuality and sexual desire for children – in the context of psychosocial interventions for adult sexual offenders against children and adolescents. The strategies adopted are based on psychodrama techniques, which facilitate the overcoming of emotional obstacles to these issues, creating a playful environment during the intervention, providing conditions for reflection, expression of feelings, decreased tension, and which contribute to integration and group engagement in the tasks. This option avoids a confrontational position and favours the development of empathy.
Body Mass Index as a Patient Selection Criterion for Kidney Transplant
Authors: Urbanski Megan , Inaganti Salini , Agu Chidera , Sarwer David , Gardiner Heather
Published: April 2020

There is currently no consensus on the ideal body mass index (BMI) for kidney transplantation, yet an elevated BMI can limit access to transplantation. This study explored the attitudes of kidney transplant professionals regarding BMI as a selection criterion for kidney transplantation. Brief, in-person interviews were conducted at the 2016 American Transplant Congress. Participants were queried on their views regarding kidney transplant eligibility for patients with classes 1, 2, and 3 obesity, as well as their transplant centers’ BMI-related policies. Most (88%) of the 94 participants did not consider class 1 obesity (BMI 30 to < 35) a contraindication to kidney transplantation, with a greater number of participants reluctant to consider patients with class 2 (BMI 35 to < 40) or class 3 obesity (BMI ³ 40) for transplantation. Participants identified a mean maximum BMI 2.3 points higher than the mean maximum BMI reported in transplant center patient selection criteria policies. Overall, kidney transplant professionals viewed BMI as a useful patient selection criterion when considered within the larger context of the patient’s clinical picture. Future research should assess outcomes for transplant recipients with varying obesity levels.
Historical Perspectives: Shared Decision Making in the NICU
Authors: Sullivan Anne , Cummings Christy
Published: April 2020

The ethical dilemmas and predominant frameworks surrounding decision making for critically ill newborns have evolved substantially over the last 40 years. A shared decision-making approach is now favored, involving an exchange of information between parents and clinicians that emphasizes parental values and preferences, resulting in a personalized approach to decision making. In this review, we summarize the history of clinical decision making with a focus on the NICU, highlight different models of decision making, describe the advantages and current limitations of shared decision making, and discuss the ongoing and future challenges of decision making in the NICU amidst medical innovations and emerging technologies.

Published: April 2020

CONTEXT:

Recommendations conflict regarding universal application of formal screening instruments in primary care (PC) and PC-like settings for autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

OBJECTIVES:

We systematically reviewed evidence for universal screening of children for ASD in PC.

DATA SOURCES:

We searched Medline, PsychInfo, Educational Resources Informational Clearinghouse, and Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature.

STUDY SELECTION:

We included studies in which researchers report psychometric properties of screening tools in unselected populations across PC and PC-like settings.

DATA EXTRACTION:

At least 2 authors reviewed each study, extracted data, checked accuracy, and assigned quality ratings using predefined criteria.

RESULTS:

We found evidence for moderate to high positive predictive values for ASD screening tools to identify children aged 16 to 40 months and 1 study for ≥48 months in PC and PC-like settings. Limited evidence evaluating sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value of instruments was available. No studies directly evaluated the impact of screening on treatment or harm.

LIMITATIONS:

Potential limitations include publication bias, selective reporting within studies, and a constrained search.

CONCLUSIONS:

ASD screening tools can be used to accurately identify percentages of unselected populations of young children for ASD in PC and PC-like settings. The scope of challenges associated with establishing direct linkage suggests that clinical and policy groups will likely continue to guide screening practices. ASD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder associated with significant life span costs.1,2 Growing evidence supports functional gains and improved outcomes for young children receiving intensive intervention, so early identification on a population level is a pressing public health challenge.3,4
El eterno femenino tras el espacio narrativo: Mararía y el paisaje de Lanzarote
Authors: Santana Abreu Tamara
Published: April 2020

A lo largo de la historia, el discurso literario, preponderantemente masculino, ha consolidado todo un espectro de imágenes literarias alrededor de la mujer. Una de las representaciones inscritas en este imaginario es la de paisaje literario. Durante esta investigación, hemos parangonado la literaturización de la mujer con este concepto, atendiendo a una perspectiva de territorialidad respecto al personaje femenino y, en consecuencia, a la mujer real. Para presentar esta relación, hemos recurrido al concepto de simulacro (Baudrillard, 1978) y sus repercusiones reales. Luego, hemos desarrollado el angosto vínculo entre la representación literaria de la isla en su paisaje y la interpretación literaria de la mujer, apelando al término land-as-woman (Kolodny, 1973). Para ejemplificarlo, hemos analizado los distintos testimonios que estructuran la novela canaria Mararía (1975), de Rafael Arozarena, para concluir, por una parte, que feminizar el entorno robustece los roles genéricos adscritos al eterno femenino, luego a la mujer real, y por otra parte, que en los gobiernos conservaduristas, como sucede durante la dictadura franquista, el cuerpo de la mujer, con su potencial procreativo, pertenece al sistema natalista como el territorio pertenece a la patria.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi profil keragaman fenotipe ikan seluang (Rasbora) asal Pulau Bangka untuk pengembangan budidaya. Sampel ikan yang dikoleksi berasal dari lokasi sungai sekitar Desa Balunijuk, Kabupaten Bangka. Sebanyak tiga jenis ikan Seluang (Famili Cyprinidae) antara lain Rasbora einthovenii, Brevibora dorsiocellata, dan Trigionopoma gracile telah ditemukan. Pengukuran truss morfometrik dilakukan untuk melihat profil fenotipe ketiga spesies ikan seluang tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penciri utama yang dapat membedakan ketiga spesies secara spesifik adalah perbandingan rasio truss morfometrik antara karakter panjang ekor (PE) dengan lebar badan III (LB-III). Persentase sintasan tertinggi pada Brevibora dorsicellata yang dipelihara pada pH 5-6 yaitu 93,30 ± 5,80%; sedangkan persentase sintasan terendah adalah Trigonopoma gracile dengan nilai 76,60 ± 5,80% dipelihara pada pH 5-6 dan 7. Rasbora einthovenii yang dipelihara pada pH 5-6 menunjukkan nilai rata-rata pertambahan bobot mutlak yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan pH 7. Rata-rata pertambahan bobot mutlak dan pertambahan panjang mutlak pada Brevibora dorsiocellata dan Trigonopoma gracile memiliki kecenderungan lebih tinggi pada pemeliharaan di pH 5-6 dibandingkan pH 7.The research was aimed to evaluate the phenotypes profile of rasbora fish from Bangka Belitung Islands for aquaculture development. Samples of rasbora fish were collected from the rivers near Balunijuk Village, Bangka Residence. Three species of rasbora (Cyprinidae Family) which consisted of Rasbora einthovenii, Brevibora dorsiocellata, and Trigionopoma gracile.were collected . The truss morphometrics measurement was conducted to determine the phenotypic profiles of the three species. The results showed that the main identity characteristics to differentiate the three species were tail length (TL) and body width III (W-III). The highest survival rate was achieved by Brevibora dorsiocellata cultured in waters with pH 5-6 which was 93.30 ± 5.80%. The lowest survival rate was attained by Trigonopoma gracile which was 76.60 ± 5.80% cultured in pH 5-6 and 7. The Rasbora einthovenii cultured in waters with pH 5-6 showed the highest absolute weight gain compared to that of cultured in waters of pH 7. Brevibora dorsiocellata and Trigonopoma gracile tended to have better absolute weight and absolute length gain when cultured in waters with pH 5-6 compared to that of pH 7.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi penggunaan pakan mandiri dan pakan komersil untuk pakan ikan nila srikandi di Brebes, Jawa Tengah. Pemeliharaan ikan nila srikandi dilakukan menggunakan tambak yang berukuran ± 3.000 m2 sebanyak tiga unit di mana setiap petak tambak disekat menjadi dua sehingga terdapat enam unit petak percobaan. Setiap unit percobaan ditebar sebanyak 10.000 ekor benih ikan. Ikan nila srikandi dipelihara selama empat bulan dan diberi pakan harian sebanyak 1%-2% dari bobot tubuh pada pukul 07.00, 12.00, dan 17.00. Ikan diberi pakan uji pada bulan ke-1 dan ke-2 sebanyak 1% dari bobot tubuh, kemudian pemberian pakan ditingkatkan menjadi 2% pada pemeliharaan bulan ke-3 dan ke-4. Performa ikan nila srikandi (pertumbuhan, laju pertumbuhan, dan kelangsungan hidup) yang diberi pakan mandiri dan pakan komersil diuji dengan menggunakan uji-T. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertumbuhan ikan nila srikandi tidak berbeda nyata antara yang diberi pakan pakan mandiri dengan yang diberi pakan komersil (P>0,05). Kemudian, hasil produksi ikan nila srikandi yang diberi pakan mandiri mencapai 2.214 ± 172,69 kg dan pakan komersil 2.248,5 ± 234,85 kg. Berdasarkan hasil analisis usaha penggunaan pakan mandiri pada budidaya nila srikandi lebih direkomendasikan dibandingkan dengan pakan komersil.The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of locally-produced and commercial feeds on the growth of Srikandi tilapia cultured in fish farming areas of Brebes Regency, Central Java. Tilapia Srikandi were cultured in three ponds sized approximately ± 3,000 m2. Each pond was divided into two sections divided by a net, which resulted in six experimental plots. Each experimental plot was stocked with 10,000 fish seeds. Srikandi tilapia were maintained for four months and given daily feed as much as 1%-2% of body weight with feeding time at 07.00, 12.00, and 17.00. The fish were given test feeds in the 1st and 2nd month as much as 1% of body weight. The feeding level was increased to 2% in the 3rd and 4th months. The performances of Srikandi tilapia (growth, growth rate, and survival) fed with the two feed types were tested using the T-test. The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference on growth performance between fish fed with locally-produced feed and commercial feed (P>0.05). The total harvest of Srikandi tilapia fed with the locally produced feed reached 2,214 ± 172.69 kg and 2,248.5 ± 234.85 kg for the commercial feed. This study suggests that in terms of economic efficiency, the use of the locally-produced feed in Srikandi tilapia farming is more profitable compared to the use of commercial feed.
Walter Day
Authors: Banasik Benjamin Jozef
Published: April 2020

This article examines the life of Walter Day, a key figure in the history of competitive video gaming and whose involvement in this industry has been connected to his own spiritual beliefs and directions. Here, the influence of Day, the former owner of Twin Galaxies and creator of the first International Scoreboard, will be presented by examining the history of his life. A pivotal religious experience of Day, while under the influence of LSD in the 1960s, will be shown to have directly informed his decision to join the Eastern influenced new religious movement of Transcendental Meditation under the stewardship of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi which gave him the tools and direction that would be essential for his video gaming career. The training that the Maharishi would provide to Day will be explored and shown to have informed his understanding of religious experiences, or flow states, and how this could manifest with a player of a classic video game at an arcade. This understanding will be shown to have interested Day enough not only to endeavour to be the first video game pilgrim, but for him to continue a lifelong pilgrimage of recording and sharing oral history of players who reach their full potential.
Psychogeography
Authors: Radford Raymond
Published: April 2020

The way that humanity both inhabits and views its surroundings directly influences individual and collective thoughts and emotions. Yet in a society that is constantly over-stimulated, taking in the surroundings becomes secondary to consumerism, and the distractions inherent within the spectacle. The spectacle, according to Guy Debord and the European revolutionary organization Situationist International (SI), diverted the populace from the reality that surrounds it, and the SI deemed themselves the correct ones to re-envision reality. Fifty years after the 1968 Paris riots, the Situationists no longer exist, but new groups have risen from their ashes to explore and view the world in new ways, groups such as those involved in Urban Exploration (UrbEx). UrbEx involves small, often self-guided groups that investigate the ghosts of modernity, and the detritus of capital that remains in the wake of the spectacle. Utilizing the Situationist International's concept of the dérive, the ideas that fuel urban exploration, and conspiracist ideologies, this article explores the urban world viewed through psychogeography: those who seek the new sacred in a gnostic quest to gain a greater insight into what lurks in the shadows of the myth of modernity.
LA GESTIÓN DEL CONFLICTO EN EL ÁMBITO LABORAL DE LAS ORGANIZACIONES TURÍSTICAS: UNA HERRAMIENTA DE MARKETING INTERNO
Authors: Paradinas Márquez María del Carmen
Published: April 2020

El objeto de este estudio es realizar una revisión bibliográfica que permita conocer el estado del arte en cuanto a la gestión del conflicto en el ámbito laboral de las organizaciones turísticas y su relación con las herramientas empleadas por éstas para fomentar el sentimiento de pertenencia de sus empleados a la organización y a su vez que los mismos puedan ser embajadores de marca. Así, los programas de prevención y gestión de los conflictos surgidos entre las personas empleadas por la organización pueden enmarcarse dentro de las herramientas llevadas a cabo por las empresas en el entorno del marketing interno o “employer    breanding” interno y, de esta forma, crear una importante ventaja competitiva frente a los competidores. Para ello se ha procedido al análisis de tesis doctorales, publicaciones de investigación y divulgación científica, libros y sitios previamente contrastados para amparar su fiabilidad. Introduciendo diversos criterios de búsqueda selectiva que hicieron posible   extraer los documentos más relevantes para la investigación. Los resultados sugieren que, aunque hay numerosos estudios relacionados con la gestión del conflicto en las organizaciones, son pocos, comparativamente hablando, los que se focalizan en el sector turístico. Igualmente se observa que es escasa la bibliografía que analiza la prevención y gestión del conflicto como una  herramienta   relevante en cuanto al marketing interno.

Elimination of the effect of temperature on the dynamic parameters of bridge beams
Authors: Afanasev Vladimir
Published: April 2020

An article presents an overview on influence of environmental factors on the dynamic response of bridge beams. Examples of the determination of the technical condition by taking into account the influence of the environment on real bridges are given. The process of damage identification based on operational modal analysis with filtering effects is presented.

Author considered an influence of temperature effect of the environment on eigenfrequencies of beam bridges. A numerical experiment was performed using a large road collapsible bridge as an example: bridge temperature was determined with additional heating of the girder from solar radiation and without it; the values of dynamic parameters of the girder from the change in temperature during the calendar year were calculated; the dependence of eigenfrequency of the girder on changes in temperature of the bridge is constructed. Further, an analysis of a time series formed from the eigenfrequency changes of the girder was made. Two different methods were used to describe the time series: a model based on a statistical pattern in the given data and a model of a recurrent neural network. Before applying the statistical autoregressive integrated moving average model, the time series was decomposed into additive components: trend, seasonal component, residuals and noise. After that, construction of a mathematical model describing the stationary residuals of the time series was performed. Second method – based on recurrent neural networks, can be rephrased as a question of constructing a regression model. on the basis of the training and test data sets, a network was formed containing a visible layer with 1 input signal, a hidden layer with 4 blocks and an output level that makes one prediction value.
Study of load combination values for existing frame structures
Authors: Cheng Kaikai , Yao Jitao , Cheng Zhengjie
Published: April 2020

A great number of structures dating back several centuries have been preserved on the basis of their historical and economic importance. In terms of the actual condition of these structures, it is necessary to analyse and assess their structural performance. Although there are differences between the design of new structures and the assessment of existing structures, the design expression of the ultimate limit state (ULS) and corresponding partial factors are currently used to evaluate the reliability of existing structures. Based on the design expression of the ULS and probabilistic approaches to consider the structural resistances and loads of existing structures, load combination values (LCVs) of existing frame structures under different target periods of usage (TPUs) were ascertained. These acquired values can be applied to the safety analysis of existing structures. To determine the LCVs, optimised analyses of 14 representative structural components taking into account different loading ratios under four load combinations were performed. The results show that different TPUs for existing structures lead to lower or higher LCVs compared with the initial design phase. Therefore, different TPUs should be considered during the assessment of existing structures.

Basic Protocol 2: Tagging a gene of interest with AID v1
Authors: Mattada Sathyan Kizhakke , G. Scott Thomas , J. Guertin Michael
Published: April 2020

The next step in developing the ARF-AID system is to tag the gene of interest with AID. The ARF-AID system requires full-length AID (Figure 1) because the characterized interaction domains of AID with ARF are domains III and IV. Domains I and II are involved in the interaction with TIR1. The mini-AID lacks domains III and IV and will not interact with ARF to stabilize the protein in the absence of auxin (Sathyan et al., 2019). Note that the antibiotic selection marker (HygroR) is co-transcribed with AID and the protein products are separated during translation. Therefore, the resistance marker will be expressed at levels comparable to the target protein.
