Por uma geo-história do transporte rodoviário de passageiros: contextos de operação na região Oeste de Santa Catarina
Authors: Zoehler Lemos João Henrique
Published: December 2020

No âmbito das pesquisas acadêmicas, notadamente por meio da Geografia e da História, a região Oeste do estado de Santa Catarina está comumente associada aos contextos de expansão das migrações internas no Sul do Brasil. Esse processo de reapropriação do território, habitualmente denominado de colonização, produziu uma nova realidade no contexto regional, confluindo no surgimento de vilas, povoados, cidades e caminhos terrestres – posteriormente rodovias. Com isso, uma atividade econômica manifestou-se como fundamental à mobilidade da população: o transporte rodoviário de passageiros. Diante desse quadro, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo compreender a dinâmica relação entre as práticas espaciais de colonização e o transporte de passageiros no Oeste de Santa Catarina, mais especificamente considerando a antiga delimitação territorial do município de Chapecó. Isso abarcará os itinerários e cidades percorridas, seus agentes econômicos e os nexos operacionais. Com o uso de categorias geográficas para se construir uma reflexão do passado, como mostrou Maurício Abreu e a sua noção do “presente de então” ou, Milton Santos e a empiricização do tempo através das técnicas, o trabalho estrutura-se com base nas considerações referentes às técnicas do transporte de passageiros no recorte territorial proposto. A análise está centrada num intervalo cronológico entre as décadas de 1940 e 1980, período em que a população da região aumenta, surgem empresas de ônibus e serviços regulares. Entre as principais fontes, destacam-se os acervos históricos locais, periódicos regionais, documentos de órgãos reguladores e das empresas de transporte, bem como acervos iconográficos diversos. Ao concluirmos este estudo, chegamos à resposta de que a circulação de pessoas se configurou inicialmente pelas atividades de venda de terras e fluxos migratórios; já no contexto atual, os serviços regulares de ônibus se manifestam sob outras funções, que representam heranças de outros tempos, materializadas nas operações desse meio de transporte coletivo.
Transporte y energía. Génesis, apogeo y ocaso de la red eléctrica argentina en el Siglo XX
Authors: Kazimierski Martín Ariel
Published: December 2020

Los sistemas eléctricos, desde su nacimiento, se han convertido en componentes esenciales para el funcionamiento de la sociedad moderna. A partir de sus tres segmentos: generación, transmisión y distribución, se han erigido las más grandes infraestructuras, que implicaron una fuerte cohesión con el espacio, sus recursos y las formas de regulación. En este sentido, las trayectorias de los sistemas en los diferentes países han sido divergentes, delineando formas dispares de organizar el sector y de contribuir a los proyectos políticos. El presente trabajo analiza la evolución del sistema eléctrico argentino en el siglo XX, haciendo especial énfasis en la evolución de la red eléctrica, pues, pone en primer plano los problemas de la relación transporte-energía-territorio. Se trata de observar cómo la configuración técnica y político-económica de la red ha condicionado la forma de operar el sistema en su conjunto, de concebir la energía y de desplegar la infraestructura en el territorio. Para ello, segmentamos el análisis en tres períodos históricos, los cuales abordan transversalmente los aspectos espaciales, políticos, económicos e institucionales del sector. De esta manera, distinguimos avances y limitaciones que nos remiten a la incuestionable preponderancia del Estado en la gestión de estos activos estratégicos.

Strontia nanoparticles are successfully prepared by chemical precipitation method. The SrO nanoparticles are characterized by XRD, UV-DRS and I-V analysis. X-ray diffraction peaks reveal the single-phase polycrystalline tetragonal structure with preferential orientation along (2 0 2) direction. Influence of annealing temperature strongly induce the growth of peak which indicates the increased intensity of (202) peak. The heat treatment strongly distresses the growth of triplet peaks (002), (101) and (110) whereas the same augment the growth of (202) and (310). Strontium oxide nanoparticles would allow more light for absorption in UV region due to its rough surface whereas the same would allow moderate light absorption in visible region due to its high packing density. The expansion and contraction of Sr-O bonds leads to a high crystalline nature with its purity at 322 nm. It is proposed that strain and surface defects in SrO nanocrystal take place due to different absorption edge.

This article presents the main findings of a study commissioned by the Office of the Undersecretary of Crime Prevention, under the Ministry of the Interior of Chile, and reflect on gender differences in the infringing behavior of girls and adolescents, especially those who enter the Family Integral Care Program (PAIF) 24 hours. The interpretative framework used for the analysis of it is that of feminist criminology and from this perspective it is considered how girls and adolescents have been historically relegated in the studies on juvenile delinquency and the need to incorporate in them the gender stratification in the patriarchal society. Especially in order to identify gender differences in adolescent female crime and its treatment.
Erken Gebelikte Kullanılan Vajinal, İntramuskuler veya Kombine Progesteronun Serum Progesteron Düzeylerine Etkisinin Karşılaştırılması
Authors: YAĞBASAN Fatih , IŞIKALAN Mehmet Murat , ÇOLAKOĞLU Mehmet Cengiz
Published: December 2020

Amaç: Erken gebelik haftasında düşük tehdidi endikasyonu altında başlanılan vajinal, intramuskuler (IM) veya kombine (vaginal+ IM) progesteron preparatlarının serum progesteron düzeylerine etkisinin karşılaştırılması.Materyal ve metod: Aralık 2018- Aralık 2019 tarihleri arasında kliniğimize düşük tehdidi nedeniyle başvuran ve progesteron uygulanan ilk trimester gebeler çalışmaya dahil edildi. Katılımcılar vajinal progesteron, İM progesteron veya vajinal + İM progesteron tedavisi almalarına göre üç gruba ayrıldı. Grupların ilk ilaç dozundan sonraki 3. saat ve 7. günde ölçülen serum progesteron düzeyleri, serum progesteron seviyelerinin optimal değere ulaşım hızları ve uygunlukları karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Çalışmamıza progesteron tedavisi alan 64 hasta katılmıştır. Bunlardan 23 hasta (%35.9) intramuskuler, 19 hasta (%29.7) vajinal, 22 hasta ise (34.4) vajinal + intramuskuler progesteron kullanan hastalardı. Gruplar arasında progesteron başlama haftası, yaş, gravida ve parite özellikleri açısından anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır. Vajinal +İM progesteron kullanan grubun başvuru sırasında progesteron düzeyleri diğer gruplara göre anlamlı derecede düşük saptanmıştır (p = 0.013). Vajinal +İM progesteron kulllanan grubun hem 3. saatteki hem 7.gündeki serum progesteron seviyesindeki artış oranı, diğer iki gruba (vajinal ve IM) oranla anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunmuştur (sırayla p = 0.001, p = 0.006). Sonuç: Erken gebelik haftalarında düşük tehditi olan hastaların kesin tedavisi yoktur, ancak progesteron tedavisinin son yıllarda önerildiği çalışmalar artmaktadır. Bu çalışmada vajinal+ IM kombine progesteron preparatlarının serum progesteron seviyelerini daha hızlı arttırdığı belirlenmiştir. Fakat konu ile ilgili çalışmamız yeterli olmayıp ek çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Authors: Miri Behzad , Moeini-Naghadeh Naser
Published: December 2020

Some thrips species are known as predators of eggs, exist as the inactive stages of mites, and can be tiny, especially phytophagous thrips. This study aimed at evaluating the population fluctuation and species diversity of predatory thrips in wheat fields of Eyvan county (Ilam province, Iran) in the year 2016. Thrips specimens were collected and identified by weekly sampling during wheat growth stages (from early April to late June). Wheat bushes were shaken on a white dish. Finally, microscopic slides were prepared and all samples were enumerated. The population fluctuation of predatory thrips was calculated. In this study, six species of predatory thrips belonging to three genera were identified. Amongst them, Aeolothrips intermedius Bagnall (family Aeolothripidae) was the dominant species in both irrigated and rainfed wheat fields accounting for 72.43% and 50.85% of all species, respectively. Biodiversity indices were calculated using the number of species and their relative abundance. Shannon diversity, Simpson’s, Margalef’’s and species richness indices were 1.76, 0.86, 1.25 and 1, respectively. The highest biodiversity was in rainfed fields and during the wheat flowering stage, and the highest Shannon-Wiener evenness index was also in rainfed fields and at the ripening stage. The richness of thrips in rainfed wheat fields during the stem elongation stage was higher than in other wheat stages. Correlation of the density of predatory thrips with temperature and humidity showed a significantly positive correlation with temperature.

Published: December 2020

Objective – The study aimed (1) to investigate the extent and level of environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosures of listed companies in Thailand Sustainable Investment (THSI) group from the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), and (2) to examine the influence of ESG disclosures on firm value.
Methodology/Technique – Population and samples were 60 listed companies in THSI group from the SET. Content analysis by word counting was used to quantify the extent and level of ESG disclosures in corporate annual reporting during 2015 to 2019, while firm value was collected by the market price. Descriptive analysis, correlation matrix, and multiple regression were used to analyze the data from the SET.
Findings – As the results, the extent and level of environmental, social, and governance disclosures were 309.91, 1196.12, and 1197.84 average words. The most common ESG disclosure was governance disclosure following by social and environmental disclosures. Moreover, the study found the positive influence of environmental and social disclosures on firm value, while there was a negative influence of governance disclosure on firm value.
Novelty – This study is the first THSI group study of ESG disclosure in Thailand.

The Effect of Perceived Value and Satisfaction on Repeat Purchase
Authors: Hidayati Aprihatiningrum , Kountur Ronny , Suwanda Siti Nuraisyah
Published: December 2020

Objective – This study set out to examine the effect of perceived value and satisfaction on repeat purchase. Training service companies are competing by encouraging their managers to increase repeat purchase.
Methodology/Technique – Data from a survey of 300 customers of public training are used to scientifically verify the model. Path analysis is used to process the data.
Findings – Results show that perceived value and satisfaction have indirect effect on repeat purchase through the mediating role of service quality. Satisfaction and perceived value are important predictors in enhancing service quality, but do not directly affect repeat purchase. Surprisingly, the direct effect on repeat purchases stems from service quality while recent researches suggest satisfaction is the antecedent. The findings suggest that training service companies should exert all efforts to improve service quality through service delivery training for their employees.
Novelty - Most of the literature considers purchase as an attitudinal (namely purchase intention), while this study focuses on behavioural (namely repeat purchase) that consider to be more actual and impactful for companies’ sustainability.
Type of Paper: Empirical.

Встановлено, що придворна Маска як жанр мала значний вплив на формування англійської національної опери, в той час як оперний жанр, на відміну від музичного мистецтва в Європі, протягом тривалого часу був незатребуваним.   Виявлено,  що  протекторат  О. Кромвеля  негативно  ставився  до  традиційних  королівських придворних розваг, які характеризувалися предметами розкоші і непосильними фінансовими витратами для державної скарбниці Англії.
Багато дослідників відзначали, що пуритани відрізнялися ворожістю до театру і драматичного мистецтва. Однак, взаємини пуритан і мистецтва не можна розглядати в настільки спрощеній формі. Навпаки, пуританці здійснили вагомий внесок в англійське мистецтво, що перш за все пов’язано із сплеском інтересу до спрощеного і позбавленого розкоші інтер'єру жанру Масок («Купідон і смерть» Дж. Ширлі) і постановкою першої публічної англійської опери «Облога Родосу» англійського композитора Вільяма Давенанта. Позначено, що після реставрації монархії в Англії інтерес к оперним постановкам залишався як і раніше невеликим.

Розглядається творчість видатного українського художника-монументаліста Михайла Бойчука 1910–1914 рр. (львівський період). Проаналізовано художньо-стилістичні, композиційно-формальні особливості творів митця. Виявлено значення традиції у творчості М. Бойчука, окреслено індивідуальність майстра та його почерку. Увагу зосереджено на монументальних і станкових творах львівського періоду. Особливе значення для висвітлення творчого шляху митця має визначення історико-культурних та художньо-естетичних засад неовізантизму – напряму, заснованого М. Бойчуком, який вповні сформувався упродовж львівського періоду, а в київському – досяг свого розквіту в царині українського монументального мистецтва й отримав назву «бойчукізм». Окреслено витоки індивідуальних живописних, педагогічних і науково-теоретичних методів митця; проаналізовано музейно-реставраційну, колекціонерську та громадську діяльність; визначено контекстуальний вплив львівського (українського) та західноєвропейського культурно-мистецьких середовищ на формування світоглядної системи М. Бойчука. Проаналізовано вплив культурно-мистецького середовища Львова на формування творчої особистості митця.
ЕВОЛЮЦІЯ ЖИВОПИСНОЇ МАНЕРИ В ПОРТРЕТАХ АДАЛЬБЕРТА ЕРДЕЛІ
Authors: Стрій Анастасія
Published: December 2020

Наведено огляд публікацій, у яких дослідники торкалися питання аналізу портретного живопису Адальберта Ерделі. Розглянуто низку портретів з усіх періодів творчості. Описані фактори, що сприяли зміні художньої мови митця у жанрі портрету. Здійснено формальний аналіз кількох раніше не публікованих картин та уточнено дати створення двох портретів та однієї скульптури. Виявлено, які особливості характерні для кожного етапу творчості художника. На початку творчого шляху він звертався до сірувато-коричнюватих відтінків. У 1920-х роках палітра художника стала яскравіше, він почав розставляти яскраві акценти на тьмяному тлі, письмо стало вільнішим, він почав узагальнювати форми. У 1930-х роках А. Ерделі використовував метод структурного живопису П. Сезанна, підняв декоративність полотен площинами відкритих кольорів, тяжів ще більше до узагальнення та стилізації. У пізній творчості митець був змушений сховати свої розробки через звинувачення у формалізмі.
БАЛЕТ АНІКО РЕХВІАШВІЛІ «СНІГОВА КОРОЛЕВА» – ВИСТАВА ДЛЯ ДОРОСЛИХ ТА ДІТЕЙ
Authors: Хоцяновська Людмила
Published: December 2020

Проаналізовано балет «Снігова королева» у постановці А. Рехвіашвілі (2016, Київ, Національна опера України). Зазначено, що балет піднявся до рівня вистави П. Чайковського «Лускунчик» в аспекті тематичної та художньої універсальності – захоплює і дорослих, і дітей. Казка виступає дієвим способом організації вистави для дітей і дорослих; для перших вона добре знайома, доступна, динамічна, для других – активізує асоціативне мислення, мимовільне виявлення другого плану, розгадування психологічної складності образів. Балетмейстер вирішила балетну виставу переважно засобами оригінально пластично-просторово переосмисленого класичного танцю, який вважала універсальним для реалізації казкової теми, оскільки йому притаманна абстрактність, що підсилює відчуття чарівності та недосяжності.

EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION
Authors: Syeed Sayyid M.
Published: December 2020

The arrival of Islam in the United States of America has been datedback to the coming of slaves from Africa. During this unfortunate tradein human cargo from the African mainland many Muslim men andwomen came to these shores. Some of these men and women were morevisible than others; some were more literate in Arabic than the others:and some were better remembered by their generations than the others.Despite these multiple differences between the Muslim slaves andtheir brethren from various parts of the African continent, the fact stillremains that their Islam and their self-confidence did not save them fromthe oppressive chains of slave masters. The religion of Islam survivedonly during the lifetime of individual believers who tried desperately tomaintain their Islamic way of life. Among the Muslims who came in antebellum times in America one can include Yorro Mahmud (erroneouslyanglicised as Yarrow Mamout), Ayub Ibn Sulayman Diallo (known toAnglo-Saxons as Job ben Solomon), Abdul Rahman (known as AbdulRahahman in the Western sources) and countless others whose Islamicritual practices were prevented from surfacing in public.Besides these Muslim slaves of the ante bellum America, there wereothers who came to these shores without the handicap of slavery. Theycame from Southern Europe, the Middle East and the IndianSubcontinent. These Muslims were immigrants to America at the end ofthe Nineteenth Century and the beginning of the Twentieth Century.Motivated by the desire to come to a land of opportunity and strike it rich,many of these men and women later found out that the United States ofAmerica was destined to be their permanent homeland. In the search foridentity and cultural security in their new environment, these Muslimimmigrants began to consolidate their cultural resources by, buildingmosques and organising national and local groups for the purpose ofsocial welfare and solidarity. These developments among the Muslimscontributed to the emergence of various cultural and religious bodiesamong the American Muslims. In the drive for self-preservation and ...
Political Obligation
Authors: Salahuddin Muhammed
Published: December 2020

I. political Allegiance: Nature and ExtentThe need for and the importance of government in Islam has been thesubject of extensive research and debates since the early days of Islam. Naturally,there is a general consensus among Muslim jurists on the obligatory natureof installing a government or a kind of central authority to sakguad the veryexistence of the community. Although obedience to legitimate authority isqualified and conditional, the Shari'ah attaches great importance to fulfillmentof the Muslims' obligations trrward their legitimate government and considersit a religious obligation of the highest degree. As Muhammad Asadpointed out correctly, what is at stake here is the unity of the Community:So long as the state conforms in its principles and methods to thedemands of the Shari'ah, a Muslim citizen's duty of obedience tothe govenment is a religious obligation. In the words of the prophet,"He who withdraws his hand from obedience [to the amir] willhave nothing in his favor when he meets Allah on the Day of Resurrection;and he who dies without having considered himself boundby a pledge of allegiance [literally, 'While there is no pledge ofallegiance on his neck'] had died the death of the Time of Ignorance[i.e., as an unbeliever]."In accordance with the principle of Muslim unity so strongly emphasized in the Qur'an and Sunnah, any attempt to disrupt that unity must be regardedin the Quran and Sunnah, any attempt to disrupt that unity must be regarded as a crime of the highest order-in fact, as hightreason- and must be punished severely. Consequently, the Prophet commanded ...
Discovering Islam
Authors: Hart David M.
Published: December 2020

This book, written by Akbar Ahmed, is particularly apt and to the point.The book’s title and subtitle seem, to this reviewer at least, an accurate reflectionof its content: it has an introduction also called “Discovering Islam”, thentwo major sections (each divided into chapters of unequal length; the firstand longer on ”The Pattern of Muslim History” and the second on”Contempomy Muslim Society” (with a conclusion again entitled “DiscoveringIslam”). As Ahmed states at the outset, he writes as a committed participantin, as well as an observer of, Islam, and furthermore, he makes no bonesabout his “South Asian” (read ”Pakistani“) perspective and bias with respectto Islam as a whole.Ahmed has already observed in some of his earlier work, that there isonly one Islam, not many “islams” (contrary to the views asserted recentlyby a number of non-Muslim students of the subject); and this is so despitethe wide range and disparity of Muslim societies around the globe. Neitherof these arguments is original with its present proponents. Ahmed puts forwardboth his view of the Islamic ideal, as well as the way some Muslims ordertheir lives with respect to this ideal, with surprising force and vigor.He states, “Economic, political and ethnic-social, cultural pressures actto compromise notions of the ideal, thereby creating ambiguity around it.The demarcation of Muslim societies is therefore not division between whiteideal and black non-ideal, but an ongoing relationship between the two markedby areas of grey. Taken together the arguments will assist us in our searchfor . . . an Islamic world-view of society and history” (p. 5). A further verytelling quote which reveals the book to be neither an apology for, nor anattack on, the West (of which its author is admittedly and justifiably critical),but a clear statement: ”While the twentieth century cannot reject Islam-itis here to stay as a force; in turn, Islam must accept the twentieth century.It will not go away, and rejection is the easy way out. Islam must come toterms with the twentieth century; by doing so it will come to terms withitself‘ (p. 8).In the first section of the book we are taken on a tour of Islamic history.It is of necessity selective, but both the wide-angle lens shots, as well as ...
Qur’anic Concepts of Human Psyche
Authors: Pakistan Office IIIT -
Published: December 2020

During the recent past a number of Muslim psychologists in Pakistanas well as other countries have attempted to develop a greater understandingof basic Islamic sources for an alternate view of human psyche. This is anapproach which is quite new for psychologists in Muslim countries who havebeen trained in the Western intellectual tradition, and have depended on Westernsources for their methods, models and content areas of research.Since the Qur’an is the basic source of Islamic thought, it is not surprisingthat a number of Muslim psychologists have turned to the Qur’an in orderto develop an alternate perspective of understanding the human psyche.It was therefore proposed that the IIIT should help in consolidating theefforts being made in this respect by sponsoring a seminar for psychologistsinterested in this area.ObjectivesThe seminar aimed at giving the Pakistani psychologists interested inthe application of Islamic concepts in understanding human psyche an opportunityto meet and exchange ideas, and to present their views and findingsto each other and to teachers and advance students of psychology.The SeminarThe seminar was organized by the IIIT, Pakistan in collaboration withthe Department of Psychology, Government College, Lahore. This department,which is the oldest institution of post-graduate teaching and researchin psychology in Pakistan, has a strong tradition of interest in MuslimPsychology. They offer an optional course in Muslim Contributions toPsychotherapy also. The local organizer was Dr. Azhar Ali Rizvi, Chairpersonof the above department.The seminar was held on April 3, 1989 in Falleties Hotel, Lahore. Inall, 21 persons attended the delibemtions. They included eminent psychologists,social scientists and some scholars of the Holy Qur‘an. Apart from the kkhtaniparticipants, two psychologists from Dhaka University, Bangladesh read their ...

La enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) es considerada una pandemia del siglo XXI. La hemodiálisis es la terapia sustitutiva renal más utilizada en nuestro medio a través de un catéter venoso central.  En poblaciones de pacientes con ERC la segunda causa de muerte es la infecciosa, entre ellas, la relacionada a catéteres de hemodiálisis. El Hospital Central del Instituto de Previsión Social (HCIPS) es uno de los mayores centros de atención sanitaria en Paraguay. Los pacientes que presentan infecciones relacionadas a catéteres son ingresados en el Servicio de Clínica Médica. Objetivo: Describir las características clínicas y epidemiológicas de las infecciones relacionadas con catéter de hemodiálisis en los pacientes en terapia sustitutiva renal ingresados en el servicio de Clínica Médica II del Hospital Central del Instituto de Previsión Social en el 2019. Metodología: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, de corte transversal. Resultados: Fueron incluidos 31 pacientes con infección relacionada a catéter de hemodiálisis, la edad promedio fue de 63,3 años, desvío estándar: 12,8 años, distribución de sexo: hombres 51,6%, el 96,7% eran hipertensos, 77,4% diabéticos, 38,7% con dislipidemia, 22,5% portadores de Insuficiencia cardiaca. El 77,4% tenía un catéter venoso yugular simple. En el 29,0% de los casos la infección se produjo una semana posterior a la colocación del catéter. La mitad de los catéteres femorales se infectaron a la semana de colocación. El germen aislado con mayor frecuencia fue el S. aureus Meticilino Resistente (32,3% de los casos), el segundo en frecuencia fue el S. aureus Meticilino Sensible (28,8%). La mortalidad hospitalaria fue de 19,3%.  Conclusión: Distribución de sexos similar, la mayoría de los pacientes eran diabéticos e hipertensos. El acceso venoso más frecuente fue el catéter yugular simple. El Staphylococcus aureus meticilino resistente fue causante de la mayoría de las infecciones. La mortalidad registrada es menor que en otros centros.

Authors: Trasia Reqgi First
Published: December 2020

Skabies merupakan penyakit infeksi kulit yang disebabkan oleh tungau Sarcoptes scabiei. Pada tahun 2017, WHO memasukkan skabies ke dalam daftar neglected tropical disease. Pengobatan skabies saat ini masih mengalami kendala karena kesalahan pemilihan obat. Sulitnya penegakan diagnosis skabies menyebabkan obat yang diresepkan pun tidak tepat. Tujuan dari artikel ini adalah untuk membahas jenis-jenis skabisida yang dapat digunakan serta meninjau kelebihan dan kekurangan dalam penggunaannya. Skabies dapat diobati dengan skabisida, seperti sulfur presipitatum, gama benzen heksaklorida, benzil benzoat, krotamiton, permetrin, ivermektin, dan terapi herbal. Dari beberapa skabisida tersebut, permetrin adalah obat yang paling banyak digunakan karena efikasinya yang lebih tinggi. Artikel ini diharapkan dapat menjadi acuan para klinisi dalam memilih skabisida yang tepat bagi penderita.
New Trends in Economic Behavior: The Phenomenon of the Anti-Usury Movement in Indonesia
Authors: Fauzia Ika Yunia , Riyadi Abdul Kadir
Published: December 2020

Like any other discourse, ideas regarding usury in Indonesia have evolved over time. This study is concerned with tracing that evolution and with understanding how Indonesian academics, practitioners, and laypersons view the problem. The increasing popularity of usury is then juxtaposed with emergence of anti-usury movements, of which this study identifies 14 throughout the country. Using a phenomenological approach, the study analyses these movements in order to better understand their nature and then categorises them into three classes. The first is that organised by figures affiliated with Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia; the second is initiated by Indonesia’s Salafi ulama; and the third has no clear leadership and membership and is, therefore, somewhat disorganised. The ideas espoused by the anti-usury movement are primarily disseminated via the internet and social media. This study finds that the movement is growing quickly and gaining momentum.

Authors: Storonyanska Iryna , Benovska Liliya
Published: December 2020

The implementation of national regional policy depends on the extent to which its mechanisms and instruments ensure effective regional development. One of the important tools for solving the problems of social and economic development of the regions is the program approach to planning and management of the regions. However, the situation with funding and implementation of regional target programs in the regions is unsatisfactory. The purpose of the article is to investigate trends and find out the problems of budget financing of social and economic development using the program-targeted approach on the example of Zaporizhzhia region. The following methods were used for the study: historical, abstract and logical, systemic and comparative analysis. In the article, the issues of budget financing of social and economic development using a program-targeted approach are examined. The regional target programs and projects of the State Regional Development Fund for Zaporizhzhia region are analyzed. The following main features, weaknesses and problems of financing are identified: the dominance of the social component of the regional programs and projects of the State Regional Development Fund over the development-related one; duplication of tasks and activities by different programs; inconsistency of regional target programs with the strategic and operational goals of regional development strategies; fragmentation of regional target programs, which significantly complicates their management The directions of improvement of the regional target programs’ funding that correspond to the peculiarities of the current stage of social and economic development of Ukraine are outlined: activation of extrabudgetary financing, control of program measures implementation, elimination of duplication of program measures.

Authors: Qazi Asma Saleem , Akhtar Nosheen , Khan Khalil Atif Ali , Ahmed Muhammad Saad , Mumtaz Sara
Published: December 2020

Since the outbreak, COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) has affected more than 24 million people. COVID-19 pandemic appears to lack any effective antiviral drug or vaccine therapy. Previously, it has been reported that medicinal plants are effective against pneumonia caused by coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Secondary metabolites derived from medicinal plants also play pivotal role in strengthening the immune system as well as the killing of pathogens or viruses. The present review summarized the medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites that have antiviral potentials. Further studies are required to evaluate these medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites for possible treatment of COVID-19.
The Introduction of Minbenzhuyi and the Return of Its Traditional Chinese Meaning
Authors: LV Xiaobo
Published: December 2020

The concepts of Minben , Minbensixiang , and Minbenzhuyi are rather popular in current Chinese discourse. However, “Minben” was hardly found in Chinese ancient literature as a noun. Around the year of 1916, “Minbenzhuyi” became
widely accepted in Japanese intellectual circles, interpreted as one of the Japanese versions of democracy. In 1917, “Minbenzhuyi” was transferred to China as a loanword by Li Dazhao and developed into one of the Chinese definitions of democracy. Nevertheless, Chen Duxiu
questioned the meaning of the term in 1919. It was not until 1922 did Liang Qichao bring Minbenzhuyi back into Chinese context and conduct a systematic analysis, which had a lasting impact on Chinese intellectual community. In the following 20 years, Minbenzhuyi was largely accepted
in two different senses: 1) interpreted as Chinese definition of democracy; 2) specifically refers to the Confucian idea of “Minshiminting and Minguijunqing (;, ) Gradually, it became evident that Minbenzhuyi in China had grown distant from the meaning of democracy
and returned to its traditional Confucian values.

This highly readable Festschrift provides new insights into “the staggering variety of things a person could believe or do” in order to be persecuted as a heretic in fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Western Europe, as noted by Barbara Newman (248). The author-editors chose
to focus this wide-ranging volume on relatively neglected figures, largely passing over the well-cultivated field of Wycliffe and the Hussites (4–5). Contributors have honored Professor Lerner’s example by their choice of a focused theme for the collection (11): the emphasis on
manuscript sources (9–13), and a recognition of historiography as inevitably entwined with contemporary issues (vii, 11).

Published: December 2020

One of the most important medieval law books, the Sachsenspiegel (The Saxon Mirror), composed by Eike von Repgow around 1220/1230, represents a stunning bibliophile masterpiece in its various manuscript versions. Much discussed already by German, but also
American and other scholars, it has now received once again extensive attention and careful analysis by the art historian Madeline H. Caveness and her Germanist colleague, Charles G. Nelson, who passed away in 2008. This was certainly a great team, though it might have been very useful if
also a legal historian had joined them. The major manuscripts were all beautifully illuminated in order to explain the various criminal acts and the necessary punishments. Thus, scholars have a fantastic instrument available to study a wide range of topics relevant for thirteenth-century German
society, but also other neighboring people because the Sachsenspiegel became highly influential as a role model for other law books throughout the later Middle Ages.

Anlässlich zweier Großprojekte, die das Ambraser Heldenbuch betreffen, nämlich dessen Digitalisierung (www.uibk.ac.at/projects/ahb) und die Bearbeitung der Handschrift
(Maximilian-goes- digital: https://www.uibk.ac.at/projects/max-goes-digital/; unklar, was hiermit angestrebt ist), entstand der vorliegende Sammelband, der die wichtigsten Fragen
und Aspekte dieses äußerst ungewöhnlichen und wirklich prächtigen Manuskripts angeht. Man würde erwarten, dass diese zwei Webseiten uns unmittelbar Zugang zur digitalen Fassung gäben und gleichzeitig gute Suchfunktionen einschließen würde. Zugang ist
tatsächlich gewährleistet, aber selbst nach mehreren Einstiegsbemühungen ist es jedenfalls dem Rezensenten nicht gelungen, schnell relevante Stellen zu finden oder die Handschrift zu durchblättern. Es gibt keine eindeutigen (oder gar keine) Verlinkungen, und leicht gerät
man von dem Projekt selbst zur Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek oder landet schlicht auf dem Werbeplakat. Hier wurden sehr viele Anstrengungen durchgeführt, das Ergebnis ist aber für den Benutzer frustrierend und enttäuschend. Worin mag überhaupt der Unterschied
zwischen beiden Webseiten bestehen?

The contributors to this volume bring to light, once again, the famous Czech/ Bohemian picture Bible, the Velislav Bible, created sometime in the first half of the fourteenth century. Older research had already recognized the great value of this Bible, and the authors of the
collected articles stand on their shoulders and try to offer new perspectives. Hence, this is an edited volume, not a monograph, as the editor claims it to be twice in the preface.

on the catalog itself, magisterially edited by Kathleen Bickford Berzock, Associate Director of Curatorial Affairs, Block Museum of Art.
Joseph P. Huffman, The Imperial City of Cologne: From Roman Colony to Medieval Metropolis (19 B.C. – 1125 A.D.). The Early Medieval North Atlantic, 2. Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2018, 280 pp.
Authors: Farmer Thomas
Published: December 2020

Cologne was the most populous German city in the High Middle Ages, a leading member of the Hanseatic League, and an important archdiocese, whose archbishop was one of the seven electors of the Holy Roman Empire. Established as a Roman city in 19 B.C., it later
became the capital of the province of Lower Germany. But what of the period between the Principate and the High Middle Ages? For quite some time historians believed that Cologne had become an empty shell: Its population declined steeply, so that only a remnant remained, clustered around the
cathedral and a few other churches, while the other buildings fell into ruin; recovery did not begin until A.D. 1000. But in the past three decades archeologists have shown that early medieval Cologne was in fact a thriving city. However, this research has been almost exclusively published
in German, limiting its availability. Now, fortunately, Joseph Huffman has published a monograph on Cologne that makes this research available to Anglophone audiences, and he deserves our whole-hearted thanks for doing so.
The Medieval Literary Beyond Form, ed. Robert J. Meyer-Lee and Catherine Sanok. Woodbridge, Suffolk: D. s. Brewer, 2018, xii, 276 pp., 30 b/w ill.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: December 2020

We can always use critical studies that question both what constitutes a literary text in the Middle Ages and what form those texts have, as is the case with the essays collected by Robert J. Meyer-Lee and Catherine Sanok. They define form as “a historically contingent set of
attributes defining privileged texts as literature so that the latter may serve particular social, economic, and political interests” (4). They hasten, however, and quite correctly, to warn us about the difficulty in being overly specific in light of the contingency of such formal criteria,
which might undermine the entire effort here to some extent, even though they then emphasize again that the articles “meditate upon the question of the relation between form and the literary” (6), as it manifested itself in medieval and late medieval England, which is supposed
to be the exclusive terrain covered here, thought that is not always true. Taking us back to this deliberate (?) seesaw, they then return to highlight that in the pre-modern world the differences between literary and non-literary were rather fluid (8). What might then be the focus of this
book? The sub-heading of the book itself leaves us a bit puzzled: “Beyond Form,” so why does the introduction then highlight formality issues so centrally?
