Authors: Budilaksana Deshiwa , Sukarsa I Made , Wiranatha Anak Agung Ketut Agung Cahyawan
Published: December 2021

The demand for automotive in Indonesia has never subsided, considering that the human need for transportation greatly affects people's daily lives. Various attempts are made by manufacturers to produce cars of a quality that is comparable to the costs incurred and following market demand. Prediction is a process that can be done to achieve this goal. One of the prediction methods that can be used in this case is the kNearest Neighbor. The prediction process consists of a preprocessing stage that cleans and filters unnecessary variables, followed by a variable multicollinearity test stage with Variance Inflation Factor (VIF). The multicollinearity test found 4 variables that had a specific influence in predicting the VIF value of these variables, respectively 2.22, 2.08, 1.53, 1.10 for Horse Power, Car Width, Highend, and, Hatchback respectively. The four variables of the VIF test results have a positive correlation with the price variable as the dependent variable. The prediction model is made using 4 variables selected based on the VIF test, to determine the accuracy of the method used, the Linear Regression model and, the kNearest Neighbor through the validation test with Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and R2. The kNearest Neighbor method produces an MAE test of 0.06 and R2 results are 0.843. This can be concluded if the overall kNearest Neighbor method has qualified performance in making predictions with continuous value variables or in other words using the concept of regression.

nuevos escenarios de la educación política hoy
Authors: Luque David
Published: December 2021

La educación política siempre está vigente porque mantiene una unión íntima con la democracia que, a su vez, experimenta desarrollos internos en función de la vida política. Debido a esto, la pedagogía tiene arrogada una función vigilante para discernir los derroteros y los desafíos que las democracias plantean a la educación política. Y ahí nace este artículo. En la identificación y el análisis de los nuevos escenarios que afectan tanto a las democracias como a la educación política: el patriotismo, la radicalización, el desarrollo sostenible y la identidad sexual. Cada escenario arroja un resultado distinto que puede sintetizarse en torno a tres ideas básicas. Que la educación política hoy pasa por conjugar la unidad en la diversidad, el diálogo y la vida práctica.
Critical Making Takes a Holiday
Authors: Pinto Laura , Blue Levon
Published: December 2021

“Making” is used to engage young people into ways of collaborative learning using materials, resources, and equipment in makerspace environments. In this paper we attempt to interrogate the popular maker movement’s “state-of-the-actual” in education with respect to its criticality. We begin by conceptually clarifying the movement with respect to its semantic disarray. Next, we situate maker and production pedagogies philosophically, and discuss how their thrust and emphasis create both hidden and overt curricula that can either cultivate or silence criticality. Finally, we problematize the effects of uncritical exuberance for educational making, and propose concrete strategies in which educators can nudge their own makerspaces into more state-of-the-art environments that promote criticality.
The Heist: Neoliberal Education and the Theft of Time
Authors: Pinto Laura , Blue Levon
Published: December 2021

In education, time is a scarce commodity. Through prescriptive policy, and scripted curriculum in some jurisdictions, policy makers attempt to steal local teacher and learner control over what is taught, how it is taught, and what is learned. That theft amounts to a heist. While clock-time cannot (and should not) be disregarded, this paper offers a critique of conventional views on time as it is embedded in neoliberal education policy and practice. In this paper we ask how education can better contribute to more durable learning by taking up alternate conceptions of time. By dispensing with high levels of standardization and prescription and instead focusing on an education of experience, relevant to learners and not bound by chronos, schools might encourage la durée, or durable learning, resulting in education focusing on teaching students how to live well with others in a meaningful .
Neoliberalismo y procesos de privatización “en” la educación pública en Inglaterra y España.
Authors: Pulido-Montes Cristina , Lázaro Lorente Luis Miguel
Published: December 2021

El neoliberalismo desde la década de los 80 ha impactado en las agendas de política educativa tanto nacionales como internacionales con el objetivo de introducir la racionalidad competitiva en el seno de los sistemas educativos. En gran medida, estas políticas introducen mecanismos que ponen a funcionar a los centros educativos bajo formas pedagógicas, de gestión y de gobierno similares a las de una empresa. No en vano, el impacto y profundidad de estas reformas están relacionadas con la historia, contexto, economía y objetivos de los responsables políticos en el poder en un momento dado. Por lo tanto, no podemos hablar de un neoliberalismo, sino de diversos neoliberalismos. En el presente artículo se desarrolla un estudio comparado e intertextual sobre el impacto de las políticas “en” privatización de la educación en Inglaterra y España, con el objetivo de estudiar la recontextualización de estas políticas según el ejecutivo en el gobierno. En el caso de Inglaterra, la privatización “en” la educación ha alcanzado los objetivos de los gobiernos conservadores y laboristas. En el caso español, la racionalidad competitiva no ha irrumpido con tanta fuerza en los objetivos políticos de la izquierda política.
neoliberalismo educacional chileno y sus posibilidades de derrumbe en una nueva constitución: ¿Es posible?
Authors: Madero Cristóbal
Published: December 2021

Chile enfrenta la tarea de redactar una nueva constitución que reemplace en plenitud la Constitución de 1980 creada durante la dictadura de Pinochet (1973-1990). En tal constitución se emplazan los pilares de un modelo neoliberal a partir del cual el sistema educativo escolar ha sido moldeado. En este artículo se exponen elementos acerca de cómo se construye la Constitución de 1980, su contexto histórico, y sus principales influencias. Se exponen además los principales elementos constitucionales relativos a la educación escolar, y cómo dichos principios se han traducido en una institucionalidad construida (y deconstruida en algún caso) entre los años 1980 y 2021. El artículo finaliza con una reflexión sobre la posibilidad del derrumbe de la arquitectura neoliberal del sistema educativo escolar chileno a propósito de la redacción de una nueva constitución en el país.
Presupuestos participativos: ¿neoliberalizadores?, ¿educativos?
Authors: Martínez Valle Carlos
Published: December 2021

El artículo estudia los presupuestos participativos (PPs) como una política que, diseñada e implementada originalmente como instrumento de democracia participativa y educación social, puede ser, transformada y en determinados contextos, funcional al proyecto neoliberal. Su análisis sirve para ponderar una nueva teoría de la Geografía humana que designaríamos metonímicamente como “políticas aceleradas”. Esta estudia el “neoliberalismo realmente existente” considerando los espacios y las formas en los que se manifiesta por todo el globo, con redes y nodos electrónicos que permiten procesos acelerados, horizontales y dependientes de los contextos, sin núcleos ni periferias. El artículo discute las características que deberían mantener los PPs para no convertirse en neoliberalizadores y las inconcreciones de la teoría en torno a sus agentes, uso de los medios digitales y la rapidez de las nuevas políticas, aspectos que incidirían en una nueva conformación del neoliberalismo y en la reformulación de los estudios del transfer.

Rzeczywistości równoległe – wizerunek kandydatów na urząd Prezydenta Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej w 2020 roku w „Gazecie Wyborczej” i „Naszym Dzienniku”
Authors: Krupa Jakub
Published: December 2021

Artykuł poświecony jest sposobowi, w jaki środki masowego przekazu – w zależności od bliskości ideologicznej – prezentują kandydatów na urząd Prezydenta Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej. Media, tworząc własne uniwersa symboliczne, kształtują w swoich odbiorcach gotowe schematy interpretacyjne eliminujące potrzebę samodzielnego myślenia i chęć dochodzenia do prawdy o rzeczywistości empirycznej. W artykule dokonano analizy wyborów prezydenckich w Polsce (2020) – zbadano wizerunki polityków, którzy walczyli o głosy w II turze wyborów, tj. Andrzej Duda i Rafał Trzaskowski. W badaniu uwzględniono dwa dzienniki ogólnopolskie: „Gazetę Wyborczą” i „Nasz Dziennik” wydawane w okresie od 29 czerwca 2020 r. do 11 lipca 2020 r. W artykule postawiono hipotezę, że analizowane dzienniki nie ukrywały swojej sympatii dla określonego kandydata i wyrażały stosunek krytyczny wobec jego konkurenta, a także, że analizowane dzienniki ogólnopolskie częściej zawierały teksty krytyczne lub afirmatywne niż ambiwalentne lub neutralne. W artykule wykorzystano zarówno metody ilościowe, jak i jakościowe.

"In others we trust": Finland and Norway – High Trust Societies in the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Hedenigg Silvia
Published: December 2021

During the Covid-19 pandemic, trust has been identified as a key mechanism in pandemic containment. Norway and Finland, two Nordic countries with high trust scores, are cited as best-practice examples. In a qualitative research project on the theoretical construct of caring economics conducted by the author, the deep societal anchoring of trust and integrity has been confirmed in both countries. Based on the empirical example of the Nordic countries, the concept of caring economics emphasizes partnerism and thereby the real wealth of nations. Dugnad/Dugnadsånd, which refers to collective effort, is a trust-based Norwegian type of commons and commoning that can be regarded as an intersection with caring economics. Dugnad/Dugnadsånd integrates the various notions of interpersonal, system, and institutional trust, and thus widely supports mechanisms of pandemic control.

The current era of modernization has entered every line of human life, including the medical world. However, not all people can reach medical treatment even though the government has provided health service facilities. In line with this, traditional alternative medicine such as massage is still popular to cure ailments among the public. The author tries to raise the reasons why people prefer traditional medicine over medical treatment. This study used qualitative ethnographic methods with data collection techniques that are interviews and observations. The result of the research serves as documentation of cultural features in the health sector that is still developing in society. As an analytical technique, the author used James C. Young's health anthropology perspective. The data analyses used are data collection, data reduction, and data presentation in descriptions. This research showed that people prefer massage as a healing method for many reasons, such as having more affordable prices, being unprepared for the risk of medical treatment, feeling disappointment with medical treatment that does not work, and trusting in personalistic illness

Soteriological aspects of the School of Amidism
Authors: Nanzatova Erzhene Lopson-Dorzheevna
Published: December 2021

The subject of this research is the soteriology of Amidism as a single formative force that contributed to the spread and acquisition of new features of the doctrine. The object of this research is the theory of salvation and rebirth in the Pure Land, which undergoes modification and adopts the elements of other schools and denominations. This article examines soteriology of the School of Amidism as a driving force that develops and promotes the doctrine of the Pure Land in the Far Eastern region during the Middle Ages. Comprehensive approach towards studying the system of soteriological aspects of Amidism allows comprehending the patterns of the process of establishment and strengthening of the doctrine in new sociocultural realms. An attempt is made to trace the peculiarities of the impact of other schools of Buddhism upon soteriology of Amidaist doctrine. The scientific novelty lies in the original approach towards examining the soteriological representations of the Buddhist direction. The soteriological aspects of Amidism are viewed as a single substrate, linking element, foundation for the doctrine of the Pure Land, which promotes its development and distribution on the Asian continent and neighboring states. Amidaist teaching has walked a long path, since conception of the idea of Pure Land to development of the complex doctrinal system. In the spatial context, Amidism transcends the boundaries, growing from the local belief to a major trend of Mahayana Buddhism. Soteriology of the doctrine has become the foundation, formative force, which contributed to strengthening and development of doctrine.

In our multi-centered, cross-sectional retrospective study, in which transversal measurements were made according to skeletal maturation stages (SMSs), posteroanterior radiographs of 572 individuals (292 female, 280 male) with skeletal and dental Class I relationships and good occlusion were examined at the age range of 7–18 years. SMSs were determined using Björk, Grave and Brown hand-wrist radiography. A linear regression model was used for changes of transversal measurements between SMSs, and t-test was used to determine transverse changes between the genders.

Results:

There was no statistically significant difference between females and males in cranial, facial, and nasal width values up to SMS 5. In maxillary, mandibular, maxillary intermolar, and mandibular intermolar width measurements, males had higher values in most stages of skeletal maturation compared to females. Apart from nasal width and maxillomandibular ratio values in females, the regression model in which transversal measurements were dependent variables, and SMS were independent variables was found to be significant. According to cumulative growth percentages, the growth completion in transversal measurements occurred earlier in females.

Conclusion:

Transversal measurements determined according to the stages of skeletal maturation can be a guide for orthodontists in the clinic to determine values that deviate from normal.
Orthodontic treatment need and perception: A comparative study between different socio-economic groups of patients
Authors: Pandit Sonu Kumar , Mitra Soumo , Pal Prateeti
Published: December 2021

Objectives:

The aim of the present study was to compare parents’ perceptions of their children’s malocclusion and clinician-measured normative orthodontic treatment need with the socioeconomic status of the parents as a means of assessing whether demand for treatment is uniform across socioeconomic groups.

Material and Methods:

In this cross-sectional study, 212 (125 girls and 87 boys) subjects between the ages of 8 and 25 years (mean age 17.03 ± 3.9) were assessed. The parents were asked to score the dental attractiveness of their children and their socioeconomic status (SES) based on the aesthetic component (AC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) and the modified Kuppuswamy scale (2018), respectively. The subjects recorded their self-perception using the OASIS scale. These scores were then compared within themselves and with those of the clinician who also scored the Dental Health Component (DHC) and AC of the IOTN. The AC grade of the IOTN and parents’ SES was tested with the Chi-square test. The association between the AC scores of the IOTN, DHC, and the characteristics of the subjects was tested with Spearman’s correlation coefficient (rho).

Results:

Treatment uptake was uniform throughout the different socioeconomic groups. Association between the SES group and DHC group and clinician-measured AC were statistically not significant (P = 0.3958), (P = 0.3447). Parents, in this study population, irrespective of their socioeconomic status rated their children’s orthodontic treatment need less severely than the clinician (P = 0.0001). Severity of malocclusion as measured by DHC was much higher in male subjects than in females (P = 0.0348).

Conclusion:

Socioeconomic status of the parents did not seem to affect their perception of dental appearance. Self-perception of appearance and perceived treatment need was uniform throughout the different socioeconomic groups.

Published: December 2021

Objectives:

The bracketless orthodontic treatment (BOT) is an alternative technique which indicates using an orthodontic appliance composed of wires and composite resin assisted by 3D technology. However, the biomechanical response of central incisor orthodontic movement has yet to be investigated. Thus, the aim of the present investigation was to calculate the stress magnitude in central incisor movement through 3D finite element analysis using different wire diameters (0.012”, 0.014”, and 0.016”) of nickel–titanium wire and two different resin composites (Opallis and Filtek).

Materials and Methods:

A 3D volume composed of enamel, dentin, cortical bone, cancellous bone, periodontal ligament, composite resin, and different orthodontic wire diameters was designed. After the modeling process, the models were exported to computer-aided engineering software divided into a finite number of elements, and a mechanical structural static analysis was conducted.

Results:

The stress results were plotted on colorimetric maps and in tables for comparison between the different models. The results showed that the central incisor orthodontic movement with BOT does not induce damage to the periodontal ligament, dental root, or bone tissue, regardless of the simulated orthodontic wire diameter and resin composite materials. The palatal composite resin and orthodontic wire also presented acceptable stress magnitude during orthodontic movement.

Conclusion:

Thus, the BOT technique promoted a suitable biomechanical response during central incisor movement regardless the resin composite.
Chemical-Biology-derived in vivo Sensors: Past, Present, and Future

To understand the complex biochemistry and biophysics of biological systems, one needs to be able to monitor local concentrations of molecules, physical properties of macromolecular assemblies and activation status of signaling pathways, in real time, within single cells, and at high spatio-temporal resolution.  Here we look at the tools that have been / are being / need to be provided by chemical biology to address these challenges. In particular, we highlight the utility of molecular probes that help to better measure mechanical forces and flux through key signalling pathways. Chemical biology can be used to both build biosensors to visualize, but also actuators to perturb biological processes. An emergent theme is the possibility to multiplex measurements of multiple cellular processes. Advances in microscopy automation now allow us to acquire datasets for 1000’s of cells. This produces high dimensional datasets that require computer vision approaches that automate image analysis. The high dimensionality of these datasets are often not immediately accessible to human intuition, and, similarly to ‘omics technologies, require statistical approaches for their exploitation. The field of biosensor imaging is therefore experiencing a multidisciplinary transition that will enable it to realize its full potential as a tool to provide a deeper appreciation of cell physiology.
Optical Control of Glycerolipids and Sphingolipids
Authors: Morstein Johannes , Trauner Dirk
Published: December 2021

Glycerolipids, Sphingolipids, and Sterols are the three major classes of membrane lipids. Both glycerolipids and sphingolipids are comprised of combinations of polar headgroups and fatty acid tails. The fatty acid tail can be chemically modified with an azobenzene photoswitch giving rise to photoswitchable lipids. This approach has yielded a number of photopharmacological tools that allow to control various aspects of lipid assembly, metabolism, and physiology with light.
A Role for Lipids in Protein Sorting?
Authors: Muñiz Manuel , Aguilera-Romero Auxiliadora
Published: December 2021

Lipid and protein diversity provides structural and functional identity to the membrane compartments that define the eukaryotic cell. This compositional heterogeneity is maintained by the secretory pathway, which feeds newly synthesized proteins and lipids to the endomembrane systems. The precise sorting of lipids and proteins through the pathway guarantees the achievement of their correct delivery. Although proteins have been shown to be key for sorting mechanisms, whether and how lipids contribute to this process is still an open discussion. Our laboratory, in collaboration with other groups, has recently addressed the long-postulated role of membrane lipids in protein sorting in the secretory pathway, by investigating in yeast how a special class of lipid-linked cell surface proteins are differentially exported from the endoplasmic reticulum. Here we comment on this interdisciplinary study that highlights the role of lipid diversity and the importance of protein-lipid interactions in sorting processes at the cell membrane.
Targeting Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase – Five Decades of Chemical Space Exploration
Authors: Borsari Chiara , Wymann Matthias P.
Published: December 2021

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) takes a key role in a plethora of physiologic processes and controls cell growth, metabolism, immunity, cardiovascular and neurological function, and more. The discovery of wortmannin as the first potent PI3K inhibitor (PI3Ki) in the 1990s provided rapid identification of PI3K-dependent processes, which drove the assembly of the PI3K/protein kinase B (PKB/Akt)/target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. Genetic mouse models and first PI3K isoform-specific inhibitors pinpointed putative therapeutic applications. The recognition of PI3K as target for cancer therapy drove subsequently drug development. Here we provide a brief journey through the emerging roles of PI3K to the development of clinical PI3Ki candidates.
Ho Ho Ho! When Water Was Diatomic
Authors: Constable Edwin Charles
Published: December 2021

When he introduced the concept of atomic weights at the beginning of the 19th Century CE, John Dalton assumed that water had the formula HO. This assumption resulted in a half century of confusion – partly because on a scale of H = 1, he defined the atomic weights O = 8 and C = 6, and partly because elements that could exhibit variable valency appeared to possess different atomic (or rather equivalent) weights. The correction of the formula of water, together with the recognition of the diatomic nature of the gases hydrogen and oxygen, were formalized following the Karlsruhe congress of 1861 and allowed the establishment of the "modern" and consistent atomic weights.
Copper-induced Production of Laccases for Lignin Depolymerisation and Micropollutant Degradation by Laccase-mediator Systems
Authors: Pillet Laurianne , Dufresne Remy , Crelier Simon
Published: December 2021

Contaminants deriving from human activities represent a constantly growing threat to our environment and have a direct impact on plant and animal health. To alleviate this ecological imbalance, biocatalysis offers a green and sustainable alternative to conventional chemical processes. Due to their broad specificity, laccases are enzymes possessing excellent potential for synthetic biotransformations in various fields as well as for the degradation of organic contaminants. Herein, we produced laccases in submerged cultures of P. ostreatus and T. versicolor in three different media. The fungi/medium combination leading to the highest enzymatic activity was malt extract (2%) + yeast extract (3%) + glucose (0.8%). Laccase production was further increased by supplementing this medium with different concentrations of Cu2+, which also provided a better understanding of the induction effect. Additionally, we disclose preliminary results on the interaction of laccases with mediators (ABTS and violuric acid - VA) for two main applications: lignin depolymerisation with guaiacylglycerol-?-guaiacyl ether (GBG) as lignin model and micropollutant degradation with Remazol Brilliant Blue (RBB) as enzymatic bioremediation model. Promising results were achieved using VA to increase depolymerization of GBG dimer and to enhance RBB decolorisation.
