Published: October 2019

Objetivo: Verificar o tempo necessário para a realização do tratamento ortodôntico com segurança - após intervenção antineoplásica com uso de inibidores da angiogênese - e compreender os riscos e benefícios do tratamento. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. Foram incluídos 25 artigos no estudo, baseados na pergunta norteadora: Qual o tempo necessário para a realização do tratamento ortodôntico com segurança após intervenção antineoplásica com uso de inibidores de angiogênese? Resultados: De acordo com os estudos encontrados, os ortodontistas devem considerar o período de regressão da doença – aproximadamente 2 anos – para intervenção ortodôntica, sempre garantindo uma relação risco-benefício satisfatória para o paciente. Considerações finais: Os estudos incluídos na amostra, embora relatem o tempo de segurança para o início do tratamento ortodôntico – aproximadamente 02 anos – não comprovam essa afirmativa. Trata-se de estudos com baixa evidência científica, que não esclarecem especificamente o período adequado de espera para a condução do tratamento ortodôntico em pacientes com histórico de tratamento antineoplásico.

Objetivo: Explicar a possibilidade da cirurgia bariátrica como alternativa terapêutica no controle do Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 em pacientes com índice de massa corpórea abaixo de 35 kg/m2. Métodos: Trata-se de uma Revisão Sistemática com base em estudos randomizados e não randomizados, sobre a efetividade da cirurgia bariátrica no controle do diabetes tipo 2 em obesos leves. Foi realizada uma busca de artigos publicados em periódicos internacionais nas bases de dados: SCOPUS, Web Of Science e PubMed indexados de 2013 a 2017. Resultados: O DM 2 é um grave problema mundial de saúde pública e suas complicações microvasculares e cardiovasculares aumentam substancialmente a morbidade e a mortalidade. Hoje, a cirurgia bariátrica é a terapia de emagrecimento mais eficaz disponível e possibilita atingir níveis glicêmicos adequados em pacientes com DM2 ainda com reserva de células beta pancreáticas. Considerações finais: Concluiu-se que as pesquisas sobre o tema são recentes, sendo a mais longa efetuada num período de sete anos, seus resultados no geral mostram excelentes taxas de controle no primeiro ano de seguimento, porém conforme o passar do tempo há ainda menos estudos que acompanharam esses pacientes, e os seus resultados decaem, não sendo possível efetivamente corroborar com seus achados iniciais.

Published: October 2019

Deubiquitinating enzymes are a growing target class across multiple disease states, with several inhibitors now reported. b-AP15 and VLX1570 are two structurally related USP14/UCH-37 inhibitors with a shared α,β-unsaturated carbonyl substructure motif. Initially taken forward into a phase I/II clinical trial for refractory multiple myeloma, VLX1570 has since been put on full clinical hold due to dose limiting toxicity. Through a proteomic approach, here we demonstrate that these compounds target a diverse range of proteins, resulting in the formation of higher molecular weight complexes. Activity-based proteome profiling identified CIAPIN1 as a sub-micromolar covalent target of VLX1570, and further analysis demonstrated that high molecular weight complex formation leads to aggregation of CIAPIN1 in intact cells. Our results suggest that in addition to DUB inhibition, these compounds induce non-specific protein aggregation through cross-linking, providing a molecular explanation for general cellular toxicity.

Published: October 2019

Miniatured machines has open up a new dimension of chemistry, studied usually as an average over numerous molecules or for a single molecule bound on a robust substrate. Mechanical motions at a single molecule level, however, are under quantum control, strongly coupled with fluctuations of its environment -- a system rarely addressed because an efficient way of observing the nanomechanical motions in real time is lacking. Here, we report sub-ms sub-Å precision in situ video imaging of a single fullerene molecule shuttling, rotating, and interacting with a vibrating carbon nanotube, using an electron microscope, a fast camera, and a denoising algorithm. We have realized high spatial precision of distance measurement with the standard error of the mean as small as ± 0.01 nm, and revealed the rich molecular dynamics, where motions are non-linear, stochastic and often non-repeatable, and a work and energy relationship at a molecular level previously undetected by time-averaged measurements or microscopy.

Sodium yttrium fluoride (NaYF4) is an upconverting material with many potential uses in chemistry, materials science, and biology that can be synthesized hydrothermally in both cubic (α) and hexagonal (β) crystallographic polymorphs. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the phase conversion between the cubic and hexagonal polymorphs is of great interest to help inform future efforts to synthesize atomically-precise quantum materials with well-defined sizes and morphologies. In this work, we use a combination of analytical and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), in situ liquid cell TEM, atom probe tomography (APT), and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements to show evidence suggesting that the hexagonal NaYF4 nanowires form through a non-classical crystal growth mechanism involving oriented attachment of grains of the cubic (α) phase. EXAFS spectroscopy also suggests that substitutional Yb3+ point defects within NaYF4 are distributed evenly throughout the crystal lattice without clustering, and also that they selectively substitute into one of the two possible trivalent yttrium sites in the unit cell.

Small extracellular vesicles (EVs) present fairly distinctive lipid membrane features in the extracellular environment. These include high curvature, lipid packing defects and a relative abundance in lipids such as phosphatidylserine and ceramide. EVs membrane could be then considered as a "universal" marker, alternative or complementary to traditional characteristic surface-associated proteins. Here we introduce the use of membrane sensing peptides as new, highly efficient ligands for EVs capturing onto bioanalytical chips to directly integrate EVs capturing and analysis on a microarray platform, even using serum without pre-isolation steps. EVs were analyzed by label-free, single particle counting and by fluorescence co-localization immune-staining with labelled anti-CD9/anti-CD63/anti-CD81 antibodies. Peptides performed as selective yet general EVs baits and showed a binding capacity higher than anti-tetraspanins antibodies. Insights into surface chemistry for optimal peptide performance are also discussed, as capturing efficiency is strictly bound to probes surface orientation and multivalency effects. We anticipate that this new class of ligands, also due to the versatility and limited costs of synthetic peptides, may greatly enrich the molecular toolbox for EVs analysis.

Authors: Malathi Seshasayee Konda Ramadoss  , Kailasam Koumaravelou
Published: October 2019

Recently, herbal medicinal products (HMP) have gained importance and are extensively used in the prevention and treatment of various ailments. A commercial herbal medicinal product should comply with the regulatory requirements of quality, safety and efficacy. Currently, the standards and regulations of herbal medicinal products are varying from country to country, which poses a challenge to the manufacturing companies to place a standardized herbal product in the global market. Hence a collaborative effort must be taken both by regulatory bodies and the World Health Organization (WHO) to establish harmonized regulations for a herbal medicinal product. An attempt has been made in this review which may pave the way to meet out the constraints and challenges in the manufacturing and marketing of herbal medicinal product worldwide.

Published: October 2019

One of the most frequently worldwide recorded health conditions, is a chronic renal failure (CRF), especially in elderly individuals induced due to renal damage. Kidney damage and therefore, dialysis have several detrimental effects on the body organs and their functions. According to those effects, this study was conducted to recognize the blood lipid profile of the hemodialysis patients in Al-Diwaniyah Province, Iraq. Such determination gives assurance for overall functions of the body organs in order to place proper medical management of those levels if disturbed. From Al-Diwaniyah General Teaching Hospital, Diwaniyah City, Iraq, 68 (50, 33 males and 17 females, hemodialysis CRF (H-CRF) patients and 18, 11 males and 7 females, healthy individuals) samples of blood were collected. For revealing the levels of serum blood lipids of the participants, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were tested using a cholesterol oxidase method for TC and HDL-C, a glycerol kinase method for TG, and the Friedewald formula for LDL-C. The results unveiled significant (p˂0.01) higher TG levels in H-CRF patients than those in healthy individuals. In addition, HDL-C revealed significant (p˂0.01) lower levels in the H-CRF patients than those in healthy people. No significant (p˃0.01) data were observed from the TC and the LDL-C levels in both groups. This work demonstrates the level changes of the TGs and the HDL-C in the serum of the hemodialysis patients which need proper medical intervention for the correction of those levels.

Authors: Purbodewi ;  Rahadian P. Herwindo Deby Sinantya
Published: October 2019

Abstract- Keraton Kasepuhan Cirebon is one of the oldest palace that built during the transition era of Hindu Buddhism and Islam. Therefore. Keraton Kasepuhan has many periods of cultural period, where each period of time has its own distinctive culture, especially from special activities and daily activities that can affect the needs that create a spatial pattern. In terms of architecture, the existence of cultural influences resulted in the development of spatial and mass patterns, so that Kasepuhan Palace has elements of the culture in the spatial pattern and mass. According to the results of previous research, the culture is: Hindu-Buddhist, Islam, and also Colonial.  Using linear analytical methods, the data were analyzed by discussing according to the history of spatial development from the influence of each culture. The data were analyzed based on the composition of the HinduBuddhist, Islamic, Chinese, and Colonial spatial layout with the spatial development in the history of the Kasepuhan Palace, which was divided into four ages of leadership namely Ketemenggungan, Kesunanan, Panembahan and Kasultanan, in the focus of large-scale contexts, sacred building contexts, residential buildings.  This study aims to tell the architectural pattern that form Keraton Kasepuhan. The benefits of the completion of this research are to add to the architectural treasury of spatial and mass principles by various cultures in Indonesia, and add insight into the principles of spatial and mass arrangement based on theory and culture.  The conclusion of this research is the development of spatial and mass on Keraton Kasepuhan is most influenced by local culture, Hindu and Javanese Islam, while the outside culture does not much influence especially on spatial and mass Keraton Kasepuhan. In this case also found that the spatial and mass of a building can survive in a long time, while the form elements in the building can whenever changed and can be adopted or inspired from any culture. Spatial and mass is very crucial, it is the key to the relationship of architecture with humans.  Key Words: Acculturation, Spatial and Mass, History, Keraton, Keraton Kasepuhan Cirebon
EFFECT OF BUILDING FORM WITH INNER COURT AND HEIGHT VARIATIONS ON THERMAL COMFORT OUTDOOR SPACE IN SUDIRMAN SUITES APARTMENT BANDUNG
Authors: Hamdani ; Nancy Yusnita Nugroho Natalia
Published: October 2019

Abstract- Designing apartment as a vertical residence should not only pay attention to aesthetics value but also aspects comfort aspects, such as thermal comfort. Apartment thermal comfort is not only limited to indoor units but also outdoor space as residents’ communal area. Sudirman Suites Apartment built in the center of Bandung City with limited land availability is selected as the research object because of the uniqueness of the building form with inner court and height variation that allows the availability of outdoor space on the floor above. Sudirman Suite Apartments’ building form and height can affect the site’s microclimate and outdoor space thermal comfort. This study aims to determine the effect of building form with inner court and height variation to thermal comfort of apartment outdoor space as well as the right solution to improve it.  This study used quantitative method, with descriptive evaluative type of research. Measurements were taken on the Sudirman Suite Apartment outdoor space such as ground floor parking area, terrace, and aisle, 1st floor inner court, 2nd floor roof garden, and sky garden on 9th and 11th floor. The measurement data then calculated into thermal comfort perception and analyzed based on theories of literature study result to reach conclusion. Influence of the building form and height to outdoor space thermal comfort the thermal comfort of Sudirman Suites Apartment analysis divided into: outdoor space on the main mass with inner court and height variations, pilotis on the ground floor of the main mass, and supporting mass addition. Besides of the building form and height, environmental factors also affect the outdoor space thermal comfort such as wind and radiative temperatures in each outdoor space. Based on this study, it is known that there is significant effect of the apartment’s form with inner court, where the comparison between blocking tower height and comparable distance between towers makes inner court area air flow tend to be low. Pilotis on the ground floor increases the speed of air flow on the ground floor. Sun radiation reduction occurs in the sky garden area overshadowed by building form with height variation. Outdoor space elements optimization is considered less optimal in supporting thermal comfort, such as the lack of plants and rooftop surface area dominated by hardscape.  Key Words: apartment, outdoor space, thermal comfort, Bandung Sudirman Suites
Aspectos da Lógica de Leonhard Euler/Aspects of Leonhard Euler´s Logic

Investigamos a lógica de Leonhard Euler com ênfase no papel dos “diagramas de Euler”. Concluímos que os referidos diagramas constituem um instrumento intuitivo, embora não sistemático, para determinar validade na silogística tradicional, isto é, a silogística munida de implicações conversacionais (importância existencial). Nisto, contrastam-se com os diagramas de Venn que constituem um instrumento sistemático, porém menos intuitivo, para determinar validade numa silogística mais voltada para os fundamentos da matemática moderna.Abstract: We investigate the logic of Leonhard Euler, giving emphasis to the role of “Euler diagrams”.

TYPES OF CULTURAL WARS: FORMALIZATION, MEDIA REALITY, AUDIENCE REACTIONS
Authors: Zemliakova Tetiana
Published: October 2019

The article makes a comprehensive attempt to classify the cultural war as a semantic manipulative phenomenon in a new type of information society. The features and causes of development of identity crisis in the context of semantic manipulations of media reality are outlined. The urgency of the research is that a new information age is filled with insidious meanings that offers a system of the same insidious information procedural “performances”. In its turn they are embodied in long held images, forming an entirely new semantic system, and creating a space of permanent action, in which the choice remains for a person of a new information age, who reveals a considerable level of intellectual skill through dialogue or protest, or, on the contrary, acts according to normalized, “dictated”, imposed cult, from which the principles of whole culture are emerging. The result of individual outbreaks of resistance to “information performances” through the collective will of the nation, which seems to be a muscle, which is intensively practiced in the light of the Rusian-Ukrainian war, is justified by the need to preserve the skills of the society to create the nation, or the nation’s identity. One can concede that at the level of nation there is emergence of greatest amount of conflicts associated with the attempt to destroy the cultural core (the nucleus of the nation), which is formed from the norms, standards, values of a certain ethnic group. The main function of such a nucleus is providing for a system of formed cultural codes in order to preserve the nation’s identity. Summing up the results of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that the typology of the cultural war proposed is conditional, but it gives grounds to talk about the symptomatic appearance of semantic disorientation and the identity crisis. In this situation, understanding and differentiation on the basis of own “mental identifier” will become extremely important in order to consolidate the individuals in terms of new conditions.

With the development of technology and communication nowadays, it encourages everyone to get everything quickly, easily and precisely, especially in the world of e-commerce which is increasingly widespread and needed by almost everyone. A small thing that can help consumers is when they start looking for products or services that are according to their wishes quickly, easily and precisely along with them, assisted by other alternative choices. So when consumers want to type in the product they are looking for, they need to quickly search for synonyms. Autocomplete helps to do that by making search predictions based on the number of products previously purchased.
A Theoretical Perspective on How Doctoral Supervisors Develop Supervision Skills
Authors: Fulgence Swai Katherine
Published: October 2019

Aim/Purpose: The paper establishes how doctoral supervisors develop the supervision skills needed to handle the doctoral supervision process in the contemporary world.

Background: While the existing literature confirms that PhD holders can supervise doctoral students, there is a need to provide supporting evidence that the skills they possess qualify them to do this.

Methodology: Using the qualitative research approach, the study established the knowledge and skills that are needed to supervise doctoral students in the contemporary world. Through thematic analysis of 82 scholarly publications, the study established, in order of preference, five mechanisms through which doctoral supervisors develop supervision skills, i.e. the supervision process, doctoral education, institutional guidelines, institutional training courses and individualized learning.

Contribution: The study contributes to the ongoing research on the supervision of doctoral studies in the 21st century.

Findings: Findings show that a well-structured doctoral education, including the related processes, imparts the knowledge and skills needed for doctoral supervision. Likewise, a combination of the mechanisms and an individual’s commitment, in terms of time and engagement, develop the skills that are relevant for doctoral supervision.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Higher Education Institutions need to make supervisors aware of the potential of these mechanisms for developing the skills necessary for doctoral supervision and encourage them to use them

Recommendation for Researchers: Further research on the development of doctoral supervision skills should broadly consider the role of different programmes in developing doctoral supervision skills in different contexts.

Impact on Society: The study has implications for doctoral supervisors and universities as regards the need to ensure that both mechanisms are instituted to enable doctoral supervisors to develop doctoral supervision skills.

Future Research: Since the study was done theoretically, it might be important to conduct further research using mixed-methods research with a phenomenological design to establish the skills possessed by doctoral supervisors and the mechanism they used to develop the supervision skills in any context.
Cloud Integration for eHealth Data
Authors: Saiod Abdul Kader , Van Greunen Darelle
Published: October 2019

There is the new promise of Cloud Integration (CI) for outsourcing Electronic Health (eHealth) data, computation and processes that provide real-time data exchange of various application systems and repositories. CI technology combines eHealth data in cloud environments, which are operated by multiple devices over the network and Internet. In addition, many Healthcare Organisations (HCOs) are migrating their systems to a cloud platform to reduce their business cost. Although CI provides attractive and cost-effective opportunities, it is essential to remember that Cloud Computing (CC) paradigms are still under development and not mature. One of the main challenges in CI is that all data management, security, availability, maintenance and domain control is done via a third-party service provider. Therefore, HCOs have no control over these matters. Trust of a third-party service provider is one of the essential factors for CI and this adds a new dimension to the opportunity. As a result of the scalability of applications and the lower costs, CI is viewed as the preferred infrastructure for most eHealth systems, but without comprising the privacy of data. In this paper, we present a novel CI approach using the Hybrid Integration Method (HIM) combined with the promising features of Fuzzy-Ontology. The aim is to strengthen the management of eHealth business and IT environments. The key outcome of this paper is to present a new technique to merge data and to identify conflicting data entries. A series of experiments were performed to prove that the proposed HIM is effective and accurate for eHealth data integration.
IoT Security and Privacy: Turning on the Human Firewall in Smart Farming
Authors: Gundu Tapiwa , Maronga Vimbai
Published: October 2019

Agriculture is central to the economy of the world, with sixty percent of the population depending on it for survival. Farmers are adopting smart farming technics to make agricultural practices more efficient. Smart farming takes advantage of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for performing tasks such as moisture sensing, weeding, keeping vigilance, spraying, bird and animal scaring, smart irrigation controls, the use of real time field data for intelligent decision making and smart warehouse management which includes theft detection and temperature and humidity maintenance of the warehouse. Smart devices such as watches, computers or cellphones connected to the internet can then be used to control the smart farming system. Smart farming being at nascent stage, its privacy and security needs to be researched and explored as its future partially dependent on the resolution of the privacy and security issues associated. This paper comprehensively reviews various security and privacy issues and challenges associated with IoT deployments in smart farming. Following a structured approach, a framework for smart farming security and privacy was developed in an attempt to address challenges experienced/expected. This framework can also be used for future directions for any IoT related privacy and security initiatives.
Artificial Intelligence Affordances for Business Innovation: A Systematic Review of Literature
Authors: Achmat Luqman , Brown Irwin
Published: October 2019

Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) have begun to play an ever- more important role in business innovation. The purpose of this paper is to review current literature to identify definitions and concepts related to artificial intelligence affordances and how artificial intelligence affords business innovation. Using a systematic six-step literature review methodology conducted with an iterative disposition, seven major affordances of AI for business innovation were identified, i.e. (i) Automate business processes, (ii) Customise end user interaction, (iii) Proactively anticipate and react to changes, (iv) Augment and upskill the workforce, (v) Assist decision making, (vi) Improve risk management, and (vii) Develop and enhance intellectual property. The literature surveyed furthermore shows that there are several gaps which allow for further research. Firstly, the definition of artificial intelligence is inconsistent and there is no widely accepted definition. Several AI-based technologies and applications being developed (e.g. Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing and Neural Networks) require a clear understanding of the affordances of such technologies to be able to make informed strategic decisions. Therefore, understanding the affordances of artificial intelligence in general plays an important role in making such decisions.

Authors: Posiliti Dolly , Cilliers Liezel
Published: October 2019

E-health resources are widely used in the healthcare field, by health professionals, patients and the general public. However, to utilise e-health resources an individual needs to possess the basic e-health literacy skills that will enable them to process health information effectively. E-health literacy consists of six basic literacy skills namely tradi- tional and numeracy skills, computer, media, science, in-formation and health literacy skills that individuals need to possess in order to use e-health resources effectively. The concept of e-health literacy is a growing field of research worldwide but has lacked investigation in South Africa. This paper investigated the level of e-health literacy skills of South Africans.

The healthcare system in the Democratic Republic of Congo is hampered by many challenges. Some of the challenges are due to the lack of effective mechanisms to disseminate public healthcare interventions widely. Social media, on the other hand, has proved to be effective in reaching a wide audience with specifically tailored messages. In the context of healthcare, social media enables healthcare professionals to get feedback from patients on specific health issues. Such feedback enables public healthcare stakeholders to devise adequate strategies to address specific healthcare issues. In addition, social media has been often hailed for rallying various stakeholders on a specific issue. Thus, social media has often been cited as one of the media to increase accountability and transparency in the public sector. This paper depicts the role that social media could play in public healthcare in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It portrays that social media could be used as a platform to inform the public about the national health agenda, current public health interventions at the provincial and peripheral levels and to collect feedback from citizens on the quality of healthcare. Such feedback could then be used to conduct research on how to improve current healthcare interventions.

The objective of this paper is to conduct a conceptual assessment of blockchain technology applications to universities. The paper will first address two related questions namely, the concept of smart university, and the architecture of blockchain technology. This paper contributes towards the topical debate of whether the claimed blockchain technological transformation is a hype, reality, revolution, or just an ordinary computing upgrade. It follows that if blockchain is a significant technological advancement then it can only be ignored at own’s peril. This research should benefit innovation policy decisions in the academia for out-of-the box thinking regarding internal control systems and product offering for smart universities.

EFETIVIDADE DO USO DE FERRAMENTAS DA WEB 2.0 EM AVA: COLABORAÇÃO, AUTONOMIA E AUTORIA DO ALUNO
Authors: Andrade Hurika Fernandes , Carvalho Ana Beatriz
Published: October 2019

Apesar de fazer parte, na Era Digital, de um importante elemento para o aprendizado e a colaboração, o contexto atual de ensino e aprendizagem dos ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem se configura como um ambiente engessado, de percursos pré-definidos, dificultando a autonomia, autoria e aproveitamento levando a ausência ou pouco aproveitamento dos alunos nestes ambientes. Essa pesquisa tem como objetivo central analisar os ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem MOODLE e MOOC e a efetividade do uso pedagógico de ferramentas integradas da web 2.0 e seu impacto na colaboração, autonomia e autoria do aluno. Foram analisados dois cursos, um em uma Universidade de Recife e outro ofertado no ambiente MOOC, onde a diversidade de sujeitos é tão grande quanto a sua abrangência. Fizemos a nossa observação através da coleta de dados nos próprios ambientes através da etnografia virtual, e analisamos os dados através da Análise de Conteúdo. Os nossos resultados indicam que os ambientes virtuais fechados não favorecem o desenvolvimento da autoria, autonomia e colaboração entre os alunos.

Authors: Weber Aline Andrade , Santos Edméa Oliveira dos
Published: October 2019

Com a intensificação dos usos do digital em rede e dos dispositivos móveis, pretendemos discutir neste artigo a reconfiguração dos ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem (AVA), trazendo contornos outros para as práticas pedagógicas em educação online. Por meio da possibilidade de estarmos conectados a qualquer tempo e em qualquer lugar (ubiquidade), os AVA são reconfigurados como ambientes móveis, mais acessíveis. Compreendemos a mobilidade e o uso dos dispositivos móveis, via digital em rede, como formas de potencializar a educação, na medida em que não saímos dos espaços físicos para entrar em contato com os ambientes digitais, estamos imersos nos espaços intersticiais (SANTAELLA, 2010). Discutimos, a partir do referencial de Santos (2005, 2011, 2012), possibilidades de práticas pedagógicas para uma aprendizagem ubíqua (SANTAELLA, 2013; WEBER, 2012) criando condições para uma aprendizagem mais flexível, assistemática e espontânea. Palavras-chave: Práticas pedagógicas. Educação online móvel. Aprendizagem ubíqua.

Beyond the Language: Sebuah Studi Analisis Dan Komparasi antara Konsep Bahasa Roh dalam Teologi Pentakosta dengan Konsep Rede dalam Filsafat Martin Heidegger
Authors: Layantara Jessica Novia
Published: October 2019

Abstract. This article discusses the comparison between the concepts of speaking in tongues in Pentecostal theology and the concept of Rede in the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. The thesis of this article was that the concept of speaking in tongues in Pentecostal theology had many similarities to the concept of Rede in Heidegger's philosophy. The similarities were found in the characters in both concepts, which were communicative, intelligible, revealing and both were authentic human characters (Dasein). Nevertheless, the concept of speaking in tongues in Pentecostal theology had a uniqueness over the concept of Rede in Heidegger's philosophy, because it encompassed not only the human rationality, but also the realm of faith. In this article it was shown that the two concepts influenced and enriched each other. This comparative study also yielded some conceptual contributions to both Pentecostal theology and Heidegger's philosophy, which were also useful for dealing with the criticisms raised against both.Abstrak. Artikel ini membahas komparasi antara konsep bahasa roh dalam teologi Pentakosta dengan konsep Rede dalam filsafat Martin Heidegger. Tesis dari artikel ini adalah bahwa konsep bahasa roh dalam teologi Pentakosta memiliki banyak kemiripan dengan konsep Rede dalam filsafat Heidegger. Kemiripan-kemiripan tersebut terdapat dalam karakter-karakter yang ada di dalam kedua konsep tersebut, antara lain sama-sama bersifat komunikatif, bersifat menyingkapkan, dapat dimengerti, dan keduanya merupakan karakter dari manusia yang otentik (Dasein). Walau demikian, konsep bahasa roh dalam teologi Pentakosta memiliki kekhasan dibanding konsep Rede dalam filsafat Heidegger, karena bukan hanya mencakup ranah rasionalitas manusia tetapi juga ranah iman. Di dalam artikel ini akan ditunjukkan bahwa kedua konsep tersebut dapat saling mempengaruhi dan memperkaya satu sama lain. Studi komparasi ini juga akan menghasilkan beberapa kontribusi yang bermanfaat secara konseptual baik bagi teologi Pentakosta maupun filsafat Heidegger, yang juga bermanfaat untuk menghadapi kritik-kritik yang diajukan terhadap keduanya.
