Authors: Pramandiri Hizkia Anugerah , Praptapa Agung , Herwiyanti Eliada
Published: September 2018

The development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in various countries including Indonesia is rising rapidly. The tightness of competition in the business world requires companies to improve efficiency in calculating production costs because it is the base for determining sales price.

This case study employs qualitative method. CV Kansa Bakery, producer of steamed sponge cake was studied. Miles and Huberman's technique was utilized for data analysis, the three stages were data reduction, data display, and conclusion.  The  research was conducted  by comparing full-costing and cost-plus pricing methods.

Calculation shows that full-costing method gives different results compared to the when compared to the existing method used by Kansa Bakery. This resulted from the fact that Kansa did not apply proper accounting  method  in classifying and charging factory overhead to their product. This affects selling price determination and profit generation.

The Longest Decade of the Empire’s Treasury: 1853-1856 Crimean War and Ottoman State Finances
Authors: AKIN Cem
Published: September 2018

This study aims to investigate the economic factors behind the crisis of the state finances, caused by the effects of the Crimean War of 1853-56. In the 19th century, modernization of the economic structure was realized through administrative and fiscal restructuring within the framework of Tanzimat period reforms. The Crimean war that took place in such a context brought great financial burdens to the empire's treasury and the pressure caused by increased expenditure necessitated new methods to financing the state budget deficit. In this context, in addition to methods that were previously used as government financing instruments like short-term loans from Galata Bankers and paper money creation, external debt was borrowed from European financial markets for the first time and domestic borrowing securities were issued. The Ottoman government has postponed the crisis of state finances for a while through new financing methods. But the economic consequences of these financing instruments have led to more severe fiscal problems for the state in the following years.

[GROWTH OF OIL PALM SEEDLINGS IN PRE-NURSERY UNDER DIFFERENT MEDIA COMPOSITIONS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF Azolla pinnata LIQUID FERTILIZER].  Vigourous seedling is prerequisite to successful  production of oil palm.  Aside from the genetic quality of the planting material, supply of nutrients during early growth of the seedling play an important role in determinting the overall seedling performances. This study was performed to determine the best combination of media composition and concentration of liquid fertilizer made of Azolla pinnata for oil palm seedling growth during pre-nursery. A factorial arrangement of the treatments involving growing media consisted of different composition of oil palm empty fruit bunches compost and soil (1: 1, 1: 2, and 2: 1 v/v)  and different concentration of Azolla pinnata liquid fertilizer applications (0, 20, 40, and 60 mL/L) were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data were collected for leaf number, stem diameter, seedling  height, and leaf greenness at 30, 60, and 90 days after sowing (DAS). A significant interaction effect between the treatments was observed on leaf number at 60 and 90 DAS. A further regression analysis revealed that the highest number of leaves (4.3 at 60 DAS and 6.9 at 90 DAS) were attained on the media composition of 1:1 with liquid fertilizer application at  37.5 and 56 mL/L, respectively. Seedling  height and stem diameter at 90 DAP showed quadratic responses to the increasing concentration of the liquid fertilizer applications. The maximum seedling height (26.22 cm) was attained  at  the liquid fertilizer concentrations of 36.21 mL/L. Similarly, the maximum stem diameter (7.43 mm) was attained at the concentration of 51.00 ml/L. The leaf greeneess at 60 DAS was increased in a linear fashion with the increasing concentration of the liquid fertilizer.
KEBIJAKAN PENDIDIKAN ISLAM MASA PENJAJAHAN JEPANG
Authors: ROHMAN MIFTAHUR
Published: September 2018

Pendidikan Islam di masa penjajahan Jepang dijadikan sebagai alat untuk menguatkan kedudukan Pemerintah Jepang di Nusantara guna menghadapi ancaman Sekutu. Kenyataan yang diperoleh dari sumber-sumber-sumber sejarah. Awalnya, kedatangan Jepang ke Nusantara disambut dengan terbuka oleh rakyat Indonesia. Jepang datang ke Indonesia dengan membawa semangat kemerdekaan dan pembebasan dari pemerintahan kolonial Belanda. Kedatangan Jepang dipermudah oleh kelompok-kelompok Islam penentang anti-Belanda. Namun belakangan hal tersebut hanya sebagai semboyan Jepang guna memperoleh simpatik masyarakat Indonesia, khususnya golongan Islam. Bila kebijakan pendidikan pemerintah kolonial Belanda adalah misi Kristenisasi, maka pada pendudukan Jepang terjadi peralihan drastis karena titik tumpu Jepang bukan pada agama Kristen. Misi khas dari kebijakan pendidikannya tidak lain adalah menipponkan bangsa dan umat Islam di Indonesia.

Published: September 2018

Cette étude s'intéresse aux atteintes successives aux libertés de la femme telle que discernées dans l'évolution de Droit nestorien entre le VIF et le XIe siècle. La question est abordée à partir de l'ouvrage Fiqh an-Nasraniya d'Ibn at- Taiyib qui en présente les textes de loi, suivant donc une approche juridique, celle en usage tout au moins au XIe siècle (Ibn at-Taiyib 1956). Jusque-là, dans I 'état actuel de nos connaissances, aucune autre œuvre ne s'était acquittée d' une telle tâche, malgré quelques tentatives, essentiellement celle du métropolitain Gabriel de Basra (IXC-xe siècle), auteur du Nomocanon (Saïd 2000 : 112) et qui est considéré l'un des plus anciens collecteurs de canons'. Abul Faradj Abdallah Ibn at-Taiyib (mort en 435 de l'hégire/1043) était un évêque nestorien, mais aussi médecin et philosophe. Secrétaire du chef spirituel de l'Église nestorienne, le catholicos Elias I (1028-1049, il est compté parmi les pionniers à avoir réuni les canons de l'Église nestorienne (Graf 1947, 11 : 160-167 ; Dauvillier 1942 : 350-358 ; Leclerc 1876, 1 : 186- 188). Les sources ne nous livrent pas assez de détails sur sa vie. Nous savons toutefois qu'il a exercé la médecine à l'hôpital « Adudi de Baghdad » et qu'il a laissé une œuvre abondante inventoriée par Graf ( 1947).

تعود العلاقات التجارية بين الشدقية وبيروت إلى القرن الثاني عشر، حيث استقرت جالية بندقية في بيروت إبان الحكم الصلين للمدينة الذي استمر حتى العام ١٢٩١ وانتهى مع سقوط مدن ساحل بلاد الشام بأيدي المماليك. في مطلع القرن الرابع عشر، عاود النادقة نشاطهم التجاري مع مصر وبلاد الشام بتوقع معاهدتين مع السلطان الناصر مجمدفي العامين ١٣٠٢ و١٣٠٤، ولكن أعمال النادقة التجارية لم تدم طويلا إذ شهدت تقلبات كثيرة، وتوقفت العام ١٣٢٣ بسبب الضغوط التى مارسها بابوات روما على الحكام الأور وبين لقطع علاقاتهم مع السلطنة المملوكية وتهديدهم المخالفين بعقوبة الجرم الكنسي. في العام ١٣٤٤، بسبب إغلاق المغول الطرق التجارية فى البحر الأسود أمام التجار الإيطاليين، بخاصة البنادقة والجنويون، سمح البابا كليمنضوس السادس برفع الجظر التجاري المفروض على بلاد الشام ومصر وسمح للتجار البنادقة ععاودة نشاطاتهم مع تلك البلاد (277 :I ,1966 Thomas). ف العام ٣٤ ١. فتحت صفحة جديدة من العلاقات التجارية بين الدقية وبلاد الفام ركزتها الأساية مدنة بيروت بسبب وضع الجنونين يدهم على ميناء فماغوستا في قبرص منذ العام ١٣٧٣، وإبعاد البندقية وغيرها من المدن التجارية عن الجزيرة التي كانت سوقا رئيسيا لتجارة التوابل، ومحطة للسفن الأوروبية القادمة إلى الشرق.
Les verres abbassides des fouilles du théâtre romain de Jablé en Syrie
Authors: Badawi Massoud
Published: September 2018

Selon la tradition historique, le théâtre de Jablé (Syrie côtière) a été transformé en forteresse à la suite de la conquête islamique de la ville en 638 apr. J.-C. Des fouilles ont été récemment entreprises dans cet ensemble monumental, en particulier dans le secteur de la scène et sous la cavea, où des vestiges de fortifications, de thermes et d'ateliers d'époque islamique ont été mis au jour. Elles ont livré en particulier un lot d'objets en verre datés de l'époque abbasside. Cette découverte apporte des informations sur l'occupation du site du théâtre au cours de cette période. Le théâtre romain de Jablé est situé dans la partie nord-est de la vielle-ville:. Il a fait l'objet de dégagements et de fouilles archéologiques depuis 19503. Dans le secteur de la scène et du vomitoire, ces travaux ont révélé différents niveaux stratigraphiques remontant aux époques byzantine et islamique. Les vestiges architecturaux mis au jour ont confirmé que le théâtre avait été transformé en forteresse au début de l'époque islamique, puis que cette forteresse avait été restaurée au temps des Croisades (Jacquot 1929 : 232).
Cultural Tourism between Identity and Income. The Case of the Nubian Village of Gharb Soheil
Authors: Elcheikh Zeina
Published: September 2018

The Nubians' historical area of settlement was between Aswan in Egypt and Dongola in the Sudan, on which they developed several outstanding civilizations, going back 5000 years (Emberling 2011: 6). In the 1960s, the majority of Nubians in Egypt and in Northern Sudan were forced to leave their ancestral lands, when the construction of the Aswan High Dam began, and when Old Nubia was consequently submerged. This shift in place caused many changes in their traditional practices and their economies, which had strong connections to their historical lands, and affected as well their cultural identity (Hopkins and Mehanna 2010: 5).
Que pourrait être l’origine du plat « Tabboulé » ?
Authors: Abou Abdallah Marc
Published: September 2018

La « tabboulé », ce mets à base de persil et de blé dur occupe une place centrale sur les tables de plusieurs pays de la Méditerranée orientale d'aujourd'hui. Mais la parcimonie des sources signale notre ignorance sur l'origine de ce plat. L'objet de notre étude est de tenter d'élucider ce point inexploré de I 'histoire culinaire, en mettant l'accent sur I 'étymologie du terme « tabboulé », espérant pouvoir proposer une histoire de ce plat. Nous commencerons par la recherche des premières sources écrites mésopotamiennes et égyptiennes, afin de trouver ce qui pourrait avoir un lien avec le terme et le plat. Ensuite, nous examinerons ces sources tout en les confrontant avec d'autres pour proposer des pistes quant à l'origine de ce plat et à son histoire. Enfin, nous proposerons des réponses aux questions autour de la notoriété de ce plat, et les modalités de sa diffusion au Proche-Orient et en Méditerranée. Il n'existe ni trace linguistique ni trace historique que nous pouvons attribuer au terme « tabboulé » dans la documentation égyptienne. En revanche, nous trouvons dans la langue akkadienne un terme qui peut avoir un lien linguistique : le verbe BâLaLu qui signifie « mélanger, mélanger plusieurs ingrédients, mélanger avec l'huile » (CAD : 40). BâLaLu est mentionné, entre autres, dans une inscription akkadienne provenant de Bogâzkôy en Anatolie de la deuxième moitié du deuxième millénaire avant l'ère courante, et contenant des prescriptions médicales (Kôcher 1952 : 47-56).

Küreselleşmenin temel itici unsurlarından biri sayılan
bilimsel ve teknolojik gelişmelerin başında internet ve bilgisayar
teknolojisinin geldiği söylenebilir. Sürekli gelişen, her geçen gün daha da büyüyen
ve 4. sanayi devrimi olarak nitelendirilen bilgisayar ve iletişim
teknolojileri, küresel ilişkilerin doğasını kökten değiştirmekte, çağdaş
toplumda değişim ortamını derin bir şekilde etkilemekte ve şekillendirmektedir.
Diğer bir yönüyle küreselleşmeye hizmet eden bu değişimler kendini temel olarak ekonomik, siyasal ve sosyo-kültürel alanda
göstermekte, benzeri görülmemiş bir hızla gelişen yeni bilgi
teknolojileri ve internetle yayılmakta ve güçlenmektedir. Yeni medya
teknolojilerinin ve ilişkili sosyal ağların ortaya çıkışı özellikle genç
kuşaklara hızlı bir şekilde aktarılmaktadır. Bilgisayar, akıllı telefon, tablet
ve benzeri teknolojik cihazlar günümüzün olmazsa olmazıdır. Bilgi ve iletişim
teknolojilerinin ortaya çıkardığı kültürel dönüşümün sonucu oluşan siber
kültür, bilgisayar ağlarının yaygınlaşmasıyla birlikte genç kuşakları
sosyo-kültürel açıdan etkilemekte ve bireyleri metalaştırmaktadır. Bu kültürel
değişim ve dönüşüm ise birçok alanın yanı sıra somut olmayan kültürel miras
alanını, özellikle de kültürel çeşitliliği de etkilemektedir. İnsanlığın
binlerce yılda üreterek, kuşaktan kuşağa aktardığı gelenekler, görenekler,
sözlü anlatım ve uygulamaların bütününü oluşturan somut olmayan kültürel miras
unsurları küreselleşme süreci içinde kaybolmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı,
küreselleşme kapsamında yeni iletişim teknolojilerinin hızla yayılmasının
getirdiği kültürel değişimleri incelemek ve bu değişimin somut olmayan kültürel

İKTİSADİ DÖNÜŞÜMÜN MEKANSAL YANSIMASI: KENTLEŞME
Authors: KETHUDAOĞLU Fatma
Published: September 2018

Kentleşme, “sanayileşmeye ve ekonomik
gelişmeye koşut olarak kent sayısının artması ve bugünkü kentlerin büyümesi
sonucunu doğuran, toplum yapısında artan oranda örgütlenme, işbölümü ve
uzmanlaşmaya neden olan bir nüfus birikim süreci” olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu
süreç, ekonomik, sosyal ve teknolojik değişmeleri içermektedir. 1800’lerde
dünya nüfusunun yalnızca % 2’si kentlerde yaşamaktayken 2000’li yıllarda bu
oran % 50’nin üzerine çıkmıştır. Kentsel alanlarda nüfus yoğunluğunda meydana
gelen artış yapısal değişime yol açmıştır. Kentleşme ve iktisadi kalkınma
arasında yakın ilişkiler bulunmaktadır. Dengeli kalkınma sürecinde kentleşme,
sanayileşme ile koşut gerçekleşirken kalkınmayı hızlandırıcı bir işlev
üstlenmektedir. Dengesiz kentleşmede ise, siyasi, iktisadi ve çevresel alanda
negatif dışsallıklar ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerle özdeşen
bu süreçte kentleşme deneyimi, çarpık kentleşme, adaptasyon sorunu, yapısal ve
sosyal açıdan uyumsuz yerleşimler vb. sorunlar ile karakterize olmakta; sanayileşmenin
etkisiyle çevre sorunları ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu sorunlara çözüm bulunabilmesi,
kentleşme süre­cini düzenleyici politikaların uygulanması ile olanaklı
olabilmektedir. 

            Zamanla niteliği değişen
kent olgusu ve kentleşme sürecini, yapısal değişim, göç ve sanayileşmeye vurgu
yaparak yorumlamak uygun olacaktır. Bu tespitten hareketle çalışmada dünyada
yapısal değişim ile kentleşme ve sanayileşme süreci, kalkınma ve kent olgusu
açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Kentsel nüfustaki büyüme göç ve doğurganlık
oranındaki artışlardan ileri gelmiş; göçler, kırsal nüfusun kentlerde sunulan
eğitim, sağlık ve eğlence hizmetleri gibi avantajları elde etme arzusu ile
gerçekleşmiştir. Sanayileşme, iktisadi büyüme ve yeni işlere yol açarak
insanları şehirlere sürüklemektedir. Belirgin şekilde yüksek olan sosyal,
çevresel ve iktisadi refah beraberinde eğitim, yönetim müdahaleleri ve sosyal
reformlara yol açmaktadır.

Visual Processing of Emotional Faces is Preserved in Mild Cognitive Impairment
Authors: McCade Donna L. , Guastella Adam J. , Chen Nigel T.M. , Lewis Simon J.G. , Naismith Sharon L.
Published: September 2018

Background:

Research suggests that deficits in emotion recognition are evident in individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), a group ‘at risk’ of developing dementia. The mechanisms underlying this deficit, however, are unclear.

Objective:

In this study, we sought to determine whether there are alterations in the way in which individuals with MCI visually explore emotional facial stimuli.

Methods:

Eighteen healthy older controls (mean age = 64.6 years) and 32 individuals with MCI were recruited including 18 with the non-amnestic multiple domain (naMCI-md) subtype (mean age = 63.8 years) and 14 with the amnestic multiple domain (aMCI-md) subtype (mean age = 67.9 years). All participants were given a novel eye-tracking paradigm to investigate eye gaze while viewing images of emotional faces on a computer screen.

Results:

Analyses of eye gaze revealed no significant difference in the percentage of time that groups spent fixating on facial and peripheral facial regions when viewing emotional faces. All participants showed a relative preference for the eye region of faces relative to all other regions. Individuals with aMCI-md were found to be less accurate than controls and naMCI-md on emotion recognition measures. For naMCI-md individuals, significant relationships were found between efficiencies in visual scanning and increased fixation time on the eye region.

Conclusions:

Visual processing strategies adopted by aMCI-md individuals when exploring emotional faces do not significantly differ from those of healthy controls or naMCI-md individuals. This suggests that impaired facial emotion recognition in aMCI-md is not likely accounted for by visual processing differences, but rather may reflect an eroded ability to extract meaningful cues from the eye region.

Published: September 2018

Background:

The pathological processes underlying cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are heterogeneous and the contribution of cerebral amyloid deposits is poorly defined, particularly in the early stages of the disease.

Objective:

To investigate regional [18F]florbetaben binding to amyloid- β (A β) and its contribution to cognitive dysfunction in early stage PD.

Methods:

A multicenter cohort of 48 PD patients from the Parkinson’s Progression Marker Initiative (PPMI) underwent [18F]florbetaben positron emission tomography (PET) scanning. Clinical features, including demographic characteristics, motor severity, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and cognitive testing were systematically assessed according to the PPMI study protocol. For the purpose of this study, we analyzed various neuropsychological tests assessing all cognitive functions.

Results:

There were 10/48 (21%) amyloid positive PD patients (PDA β+). Increased [18F]florbetaben uptake in widespread cortical and subcortical regions was associated with poorer performance on global cognition, as assessed by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and impaired performance on Symbol Digit Modality test (SDMT). Further, we found that PDA β+ patients had higher CSF total-tau/A β1 - 42 ( p = 0.001) and phosphorylated-tau/A β1 - 42 in ( p = 0.002) compared to amyloid-negative PD.

Conclusion:

These findings suggest that multiple disease processes are associated with PD cognitive impairment and amyloid deposits may be observed already in early stages. However, prevalence of amyloid positivity is in the range of literature age-matched control population. Increased cortical and subcortical amyloid is associated with poor performance in attentive-executive domains while cognitive deficits at MoCA and SDMT may identify amyloid-related dysfunction in early PD.
Neuroprotective Effects of Amylin Analogues on Alzheimer’s Disease Pathogenesis and Cognition
Authors: Grizzanti John , Corrigan Rachel , Casadesus Gemma
Published: September 2018

Type II diabetes (T2D) has been identified as a major risk factor for the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Interestingly, both AD and T2D have similar characteristics including amyloid peptide aggregation, decreased metabolism, and increased oxidative stress and inflammation. Despite their prevalence, therapies for these diseases are limited. To date, most therapies for AD have targeted amyloid-β or tau. Unfortunately, most of these clinical trials have been largely unsuccessful, creating a crucial need for novel therapies. A number of studies have shown that metabolic hormone therapies are effective at ameliorating high blood glucose levels in diabetics as well as improving cognitive function in AD and mild cognitive impairment patients. Pramlintide, a synthetic analogue of the pancreatic hormone amylin, has been developed and used for years now as a treatment for both type I diabetes and T2D due to the loss of β-islet cells responsible for producing amylin. Importantly, recent data demonstrates its potential therapeutic role for AD as well. This review aims at addressing parallels between T2D and AD at a pathological and functional level, focusing on amylin signaling as a key, overlapping mediator in both diseases. The potential therapeutic use of this hormone to treat AD will also be explored from a mechanistic viewpoint.

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is involved in proteolytic processing of the amyloid-β(Aβ) peptide implicated in the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and known products of ACE-based processing of Aβ42 are characterized by reduced aggregability and cytotoxicity. Recently it has been demonstrated that ACE can act as an arginine specific endopeptidase cleaving the N-terminal pentapeptide (Aβ1-5) from synthetic Aβ peptide analogues. In the context of proteolytic processing of full length Aβ42, this suggests possible formation of Aβ6-42 species. The aim of this study was to test a hypothesis that some N-terminally truncated Aβ peptide(s) could retain aggregability and neurotoxic properties typical for Aβ42. We have investigated aggregability of two amyloid-β peptides, Aβ6-42 and isoD7-Aβ6-42, mimicking potential proteolytic products of Aβ42 and isoD7-Aβ42, and evaluated their effects on the repertoire of brain Aβ binding proteins, and cytotoxicity towards neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Aggregability of isoD7-Aβ6-42 and Aβ6-42 was higher than that of full-length peptides Aβ42 and isoD7-Aβ42, while the repertoire of mouse brain Aβ binding proteins dramatically decreased. Aβ6-42 and isoD7-Aβ6-42 exhibited higher neurotoxicity towards SH-SY5Y cells than Aβ42 and isoD7-Aβ42, respectively. They effectively stimulated production of ROS and NO, and also TNFα secretion by cells. Thus, our results suggest that ACE-dependent processing of full-length Aβs could result in formation of more pathogenic peptides.
