DEMOKRATIJA KAO IZAZOV PROŠIRENjA EVROPSKE UNIJE – SLUČAJ DRŽAVA CENTRALNE I ISTOČNE EVROPE
Authors: Milovanovic Ivan
Published: April 2022

Cilj ovog rada je da ukaže kako je demokratija pronašla svoje mesto u Politici proširenja Evropske unije i kakvi su ishodi traganja za odgovarajućim demokratskim standardima u procesu proširenja. Autor uzima primer država Centralne i Istočne Evrope i praveći distinkciju između pretpristupnog i postpristupnog procesa nastoji ukazati na sve prednosti, nedostatke i probleme sa kojima se Evropska unija suočava(la) u nastojanju da stvori zajednicu država koja će počivati na uniformnim demokratskim principima. Kako autor uočava, neopremljenost, ali i nespremnost Evropske unije da deluje u uslovima narušavanja demokratskih načela posebno se ogleda na primeru određenih država koje su nakon Velikog proširenja pristupile i time dostigle svoj politički cilj – članstvo. I dok su bili primetni pozitivni ishodi u toku procesa pristupanja, sa stupanjem u članstvo Evropskoj uniji ruke gotovo da su vezane, dok države Centralne i Istočne Evrope postepeno klize po tankoj demokratskoj osnovi. Zaključuje se da se Evropska unija sa jedne strane ponašala oportuno svesno dozvoljavajući ovakva iskakanja, ali i da joj manjkaju institucionalni instrumenti, kao i politička volja da se ovakvi problemi pokušaju rešiti.

OBRAZOVANJE I VASPITANJE: FORMIRANJE SVESTI I (ILI) SAVESTI
Authors: Anđelković Nemanja
Published: April 2022

Tema rada je odnos obrazovanja i vaspitanja, posebno danas, u svetu amoralnog moralizma u kome smo se našli, i gde se obrazovanje i vaspitanje sve više razdvajaju čak i suprotstavljaju. Postoji jedna narodna izreka koja kaže: „Najveće bogatstvo je znanje, a najveća vrlina je skromnost“. Znanje se razvija i uvećava obrazovanjem, vrline se razvijaju vaspitanjem. Živimo u vremenu opšte nesigurnosti i relativizacije svega, posebno sistema vrednosti. Svi znamo da postoji dobro i zlo, ali sve teže razlikujemo šta je dobro a šta zlo. Znamo da postoji istina i laž, ali u Orvelovom svetu, koji više nije samo u romanu već ga uveliko živimo, više nismo sigurni da li je istina–istina, a laž–laž. Tako je je i sa moralom, pravom, hrabrošću. Sve više lutamo u moralnoj zagušljivosti bez jasnog kompasa gde i kako. Kako se to desilo i ima li nade? Naravno, svesni smo da je odgovor kompleksan i da postoji mnogo razloga i uzroka. Jedan od uzroka na koji želimo da skrenemo pažnju jeste odvajanje obrazovanja i vaspitanja, svođenje obrazovanja na „edukaciju” a potiskivanje vaspitanja iz obrazovnog procesa. Takođe, u radu nastojimo da plediramo za jačanje vaspitne uloge škole, sa ciljem da iz škole izlaze obrazovana, ali i vaspitana deca.

In this study, we introduce a new network feature for detecting suicidal ideation from clinical texts and conduct various additional experiments to enrich the state of knowledge. We evaluate statistical features with and without stopwords, use lexical networks for feature extraction and classification, and compare the results with standard machine learning methods using a logistic classifier, a neural network, and a deep learning method. We utilize three text collections. The first two contain transcriptions of interviews conducted by experts with suicidal (n=161 patients that experienced severe ideation) and control subjects (n=153). The third collection consists of interviews conducted by experts with epilepsy patients, with a few of them admitting to experiencing suicidal ideation in the past (32 suicidal and 77 control). The selected methods detect suicidal ideation with an average area under the curve (AUC) score of 95% on the merged collection with high suicidal ideation, and the trained models generalize over the third collection with an average AUC score of 69%. Results reveal that lexical networks are promising for classification and feature extraction as successful as the deep learning model. We also observe that a logistic classifier’s performance was comparable with the deep learning method while promising explainability.
Microfinance and Women’s Empowerment in Myanmar
Authors: Baskaran Angathevar , Dong Thiri , Selvarajan Sonia Kumari
Published: April 2022

Like in many other developing countries, microfinance programmes in Myanmar have become an avenue to reduce poverty. This research examines whether microfinance in Myanmar has empowered female clients compared to non-microfinance clients, in terms of: (i) general decision-making (children’s education, family planning, children’s marriage, health care); and (ii) financial decision-making (income utilisation, loan usage, savings, investment). Primary data was collected using a questionnaire survey to achieve the research objectives. The sample of the survey consists of two groups of women living in the Ayeyarwady region, Myanmar: (i) Beneficiaries of microfinance programmes, and (ii) non-beneficiaries of any microfinance institutions. Female clients either started a new business or expanded/diversified an existing business using microfinance, which helped to increase income and savings. Overall, 89.8% of microfinance clients have gained significant empowerment (in making general and financial decisions combined). The discriminant analysis based on four indicators - children’s education, children’s marriage, savings, and investment - shows that the decision-making power of microfinance clients has improved compared to non-clients. The government should actively promote a microfinance ecosystem through robust microfinance institutional frameworks including, microfinance institutions, intermediaries, and local government agencies. Financial literacy awareness campaigns should be organised frequently to promote wider women’s participation in microfinance programmes.
Does Tax Avoidance, Deferred Tax Expenses and Deferred Tax Liabilities Affect Real Earnings Management? Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Machdar Nera Marinda
Published: April 2022

The study analyses the effect of tax avoidance, deferred tax expenses and deferred tax liabilities on real earnings management. The samples consist of 152 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). The study examines the financial statements from 2011 to 2019, ending up with 1,368 observations. The empirical results of this study are as follows. First, tax avoidance affects positively the abnormal discretionary operating cash flows and the abnormal discretionary expenses. However, tax avoidance does not affect the abnormal discretionary production costs. Second, deferred tax expenses affect real earnings management positively, either through abnormal discretionary operating cash flows, abnormal discretionary expenses, or abnormal discretionary production costs. Third, deferred tax liabilities affect real earnings management positively, either by using abnormal discretionary operating cash flows, abnormal discretionary expenses, or abnormal discretionary production costs. The findings of this study may be of interest to regulators and tax authorities, as they highlight how to increase the actual amount of tax payments by reducing the occurrence of real earnings management activities. Regulators need to consider tax audits on companies that have suffered losses but are still operating.
Temporary Shelters and Disaster Resilience in Sustainability: A Case Study of Sigi After The 7.4 M Palu Earthquake 2018
Authors: Idham Noor Cholis , Andriansyah Muhammad
Published: April 2022

Temporary housing is immediate shelter needed after a disaster for the displaced people. A vast quantity of living quarters are required in a limited time and developed mainly by many different parties. Thus they had produced a wide range of qualities of the accommodation caused due to various considerations. After its initial period, countless transitory houses were still used for years and turned into permanent dwellings, yet others just left empty since the beginning. This paper examines how housing needs recovers and how shelters are resilient to the people in a post-disaster period. One hundred one samples of temporary refuge in Sigi after the 7.4 M Palu earthquake 2018 built by four influential organisations were examined its architectural properties and occupancy. The result shows that safety, comfort, and the expectation for permanent housing significantly determine the houses' success rate. The acceptability level is ensued from top to bottom as follows: the standalone unit with the user involvement; with the local resources; with the fixed package given; and the shared unit package, respectively.

Authors: Hashim Muhammad Zulkamal , Awaluddin Zuraina Leily , A M R Aminuddin , Sarkum Sarly Arde , Sholiha Arif Budi , Aziz Ar Ardianta
Published: April 2022

Co-housing is a collaborative housing concept designed to foster close social bonding and sustainable communities. With the rapid population growth, urban sprawls and housing prices in Malaysia, this concept has gained traction in the housing sector as a viable housing alternative to the existing property market due to its social, economic and sustainability benefits. This paper aims to establish a set of design best practices by conducting a qualitative study on three selected Malaysian co-housing locations and design providers (DP). The methodology consists of interviews, literature reviews and case studies where data gained from the interviews are reviewed with data from the literature and case studies. The resulting analysis recommends that co-housing should focus on the following design aspects: demography size, surrounding context, spatial configuration, space design, “environmental psychology theory” and sustainability considerations. This paper concludes by providing several potential co-housing issues and recommendations for enhancing the benefits of co-housing in Malaysia.

China and Europe in Africa: Competition or Cooperation?
Authors: Zreik Mohamad
Published: April 2022

This paper presents the development strategies of the European Union and China towards Africa. European development aid has always been accompanied by political and economic conditions such as adopting neoliberalist policies, democracy and regime modification. As for China, its development policies have not been conditional because it adopts the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries and a win-win strategy. The paper points to a great disparity between the Chinese and European development strategies. China represents the South-South development model, and the European Union provides the North-South development model. The development experience in Africa indicates the progress of the Chinese model and its attraction to the African governments and peoples.

Authors: Cui Caiyan , Tong Lin , Li Jin , Liu Hanxiong , Cai Lin
Published: April 2022

Regular follow-up of patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic
devices (CIEDs) is a necessary part to optimize the CIED system
performance and longevity, which can assess the outcome of CIED, its
working conditions and the timely identification of device dysfunction
and arrhythmias. Traditional follow-up includes in-person evaluation and
remote monitoring. With the development of the 5G cloud support
platform, the “5G Cloud Follow-up APP” was designed to realize remote
programming of CIEDs, thereby realizing emergency intervention for
patients and supplementing deficiencies of traditional follow-up
methods. We summarize the utilization, safety, and implications of CIED
remote programming.

Effects of mirror therapy in the treatment of patients with various pain syndromes - literature review
Authors: Pausic Vesna , Jovanovic Grigorije , Simic Svetlana , Knezevic Jelena
Published: April 2022

Introduction. Mirror therapy was developed by Vilayanur Subramanian
Ramachandran for the treatment of phantom pain after limb amputation. Mirror
therapy is a neurorehabilitation technique that helps to relearn the use of
affected limbs on many neurological and psychological levels. Material and
Methods. A literature review was conducted using the following databases:
KOBSON, Google Scholar, PubMed and MEDLINE. Results. A systematic literature
review has shown that there is insufficient evidence of the effectiveness of
this treatment in relieving and suppressing phantom limb pain. The results
indicate the effectiveness of mirror therapy in relieving pain in people
after a stroke. The small amount of evidence and lack of methodology reports
have a major impact on the quality of this evidence. After mirror therapy, a
significant reduction in pain at rest and during active movement was
reported. Conclusion. Further research on mirror therapy is needed to help
relieve pain. Evidence of the effectiveness of mirror therapy on pain has
not been sufficiently investigated so far.
Drug-induced autoimmune hemolytic anemia in pregnancy: A case report
Authors: Bujandric Nevenka , Grujic Jasmina
Published: April 2022

Introduction. About 10 - 20% of patients taking methyldopa therapy for more
than 4 months develop autoantibodies to antigens on the surface of their own
red blood cells, while less than 1% develop autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
Methyldopa-induced red cell autoantibodies not associated with autoimmune
hemolytic anemia are five times more common in pregnant women than in
non-pregnant women. Case Report. We present a case of methyldopa-induced
immune hemolytic anemia in a 23-year-old woman in her first pregnancy with
and an estimated gestational age of 30 weeks. The woman presented with
obesity and preeclampsia and there was no information that she has ever
received a blood transfusion. The hemoglobin concentration was 10.8 g/dL.
The woman started taking methyldopa tablets in the twelfth week of pregnancy
and 14 weeks later she developed anemia. Warm type autoantibodies were
detected in the 30th week of gestation. Conclusion. Although methyldopa-
induced hemolytic anemia is rare during pregnancy, it is necessary to
monitor pregnant women who take this therapy, because only discontinuation
of the drug leads to termination of hemolysis and correction of anemia.
Use of CytoSorb hemoadsorption in a patient with sepsis and acute kidney injury: A case report
Authors: Ljubicic Bojana , Knezevic Violeta , Azasevac Tijana , Celic Dejan , Sibalic-Simin Marija , Lazarevic Ana
Published: April 2022

Introduction. Continuous renal replacement therapy is one of the methods that
proved to be successful in the treatment of sepsis and its complications
such as acute kidney injury. One of the adsorbers tested is CytoSorb, which
contains polystyrene-divinylbenzene pores with a biocompatible
polyvinylpyrrolidone coating and that is also a highly adsorptive and
biocompatible filter that facilitates selective removal of medium molecular
weight molecules (10 - 15 kDa). Case Report. A 51-year-old male patient was
hospitalized at the Department of Anesthesia, Resuscitation and Intensive
Care due to multiple traumas caused by a fall from the third floor. After
admission, laboratory and diagnostic methods were performed, the injuries
were surgically treated and the patient received infusion, antibiotic and
preventive anti-ulcer therapy along with measures of intensive treatment and
monitoring of vital parameters. Progression of the pulmonary lesions,
prolonged refractory hypotension unresponsive to therapeutic protocols,
predisposed the onset of acute renal impairment and continuous venovenous
hemodialysis with CytoSorb was applied. The procedure lasted 21 hours and 39
minutes, during which the urine output increased, and the need for
vasoactive support was significantly reduced, while the lactate levels
declined. Upon completion of the procedure, hemodynamic stability was
achieved, with gradual improvement of consciousness, regression of pulmonary
changes and reduction of inflammatory parameters and parameters of renal
function. Conclusion. We can say that control of the patient?s
hyperinflammatory response was the key factor in achieving stabilization of
the patient, as well as organ recovery and survival. Future research should
provide additional information on the contribution of CytoSorb in the
treatment of patients with sepsis.
Effect of iron source on nonhydrolytic sol-gel synthesis of Fe2TiO5
Authors: Jiang Feng , Feng Guo , Yin Li , Zhao Qianqian , Yu Yun , Jiang Weihui
Published: April 2022

Fe2TiO5 was synthesized via nonhydrolytic sol-gel method at 600?C. The
effects of iron sources on the synthesis of Fe2TiO5 were investigated. It
was demonstrated that Fe-O-Ti bonds will not be formed in the xerogels
prepared by taking FeCl3 as iron source because it is strong Lewis acid and
induces homocondensation. Fe-O-Ti bonds were formed in the xerogels
prepared by using Fe(OC2H5)3 and FeOH(CH3COO)2 as iron sources. However, the
hydroxyl group in FeOH(CH3COO)2 easily leads to homocondensation and
particles agglomeration. Thus, Fe(OC2H5)3 is optimal iron source with both
excellent synthesis and particle dispersion effects.

Authors: Miyazaki Hidetoshi , Yamane Mayoka , Mimaru Yu
Published: April 2022

Hydrophobic and hydrophilic coatings have been widely studied because of
their functions such as anticorrosion and self-cleaning. In this study two
different TiO2 suspensions, obtained by dispersing of hydrophilic and
hydrophobic TiO2 particles in ethanol, were used for preparation of titania
coatings on stainless steel substrates by pulsed electrophoretic deposition
(EPD). The resultant hydrophilic and hydrophobic rytile TiO2 coatings showed
random orientation and are dense with no cracks. The thicknesses of the
coatings obtained using hydrophilic and hydrophobic TiO2 particles were 22.5
and 20.1 ?m, respectively, whereas thier contact angles were 6.3? and
124.0?, respectively. The results show that hydrophilic and hydrophobic TiO2
coatings can be performed using pulsed EPD.
Rapid rise in prevalence of knee replacements and decrease in revision burden over past 3 decades in Finland: a register-based analysis
Authors: Pamilo Konsta J , Haapakoski Jaason , Sokka-Isler Tuulikki , Remes Ville , Paloneva Juha
Published: April 2022

Background and purpose: The prevalence of knee joint replacements (KJR) has been less investigated in situations where the increase in incidence is known. This study investigated the annual and population-based prevalence of KJR and the relationship between the prevalence of KJRs and the incidence of revision surgery.
Patients and methods: All KJRs performed between 1980 and 2020 were identified from the Finnish Arthroplasty Register (FAR). KJR revisions and removals were extracted from the FAR and hospital discharge registers and patient deaths from Finnish Digital and Population Data Services Agency. We analyzed the annual prevalence by dividing the number of KJR survivors by the population aged 40 or older. The revision burden factor (RBF) was determined by dividing the annual number of revisions by the number of primaryand revision KJRs in the population. Proportions of bilateral implants and patients with older KJRs performed 10 or more years earlier were identified.
Results: KJR prevalence in Finland increased by 298% between 2000 and 2020, reaching 4.0% in 2020. The proportion of patients with bilateral KJRs and those with older KJRs had increased to 37% and 34%, respectively, by 2020. The annual RBF decreased statistically significantly from 1.9% to 0.7% between 1996 and 2020 (proportion ratio, PR 0.37 [95% CI 0.33–0.42]) and was higher among males (PR1.23 [CI 1.20–1.26]).
Interpretation: Although the recent rapid increase in KJRs is abating and the RBF is diminishing, it is important to take the continuing increase in the prevalence of KJRs into account when assessing hospitals’ future resources.
Incidence and risk factors of intraoperative periprosthetic femoral fractures during primary total hip arthroplasty: 218,423 cases reported to the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register between 1987 and 2020
Authors: Brüggemann Heinrich , Dalen Ingvild , Bache-Mathiesen Lena Kristin , Fenstad Anne Marie , Hallan Geir , Fosse Lars
Published: April 2022

Background and purpose: Intraoperative periprosthetic femoral fractures (IPFFs) can occur during primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). We describe the incidence of IPFFs during THA in Norway and estimate potential risk factors that could be associated with IPFFPatients and methods — Data from the Norwegian Arthoplasty Register (1987–2020) was used: 2,268 IPFFs from 218,423 primary THAs in 172,598 patients. The following factors were analyzed: sex, age, diagnosis, previous operation on the same hip, surgical approach, and stem fixation technique. Association of these factors with IPFF risk was assessed using multivariable Poisson regression.
Results: IPFF occurred during 2,268 operations with an incidence of 1.0% among all primary THAs. The risk of IPFF was associated with female sex (relative risk 1.8; 99% CI 1.5–2.1), age 80–90 years and age over 90 years (compared with age 60–70 years: 1.3; CI 1.0–1.6 and 2.6; CI 1.6–4.3, respectively), non-osteoarthritis diagnoses (2.2; CI 1.9–2.6), previous surgery to the same hip (1.8; CI 1.5–2.2), lateral approach (compared with the posterior approach: 1.5; CI 1.1–2.0), and cementless stem fixation (2.7; CI 2.0–3.6).
Interpretation: Surgeons should be aware of the factors associated with an increased risk of IPFF: female sex, age above 80 years, non-osteoarthritis diagnoses, and previous surgery to the same hip. Cemented stem fixation and posterior approach should be favored in high-risk patients, such as elderly women.
Study on magnetic-field-based abrasive grains patterning for electroplating diamond wire saws
Authors: Ho Chao-Ching , Deng Yong-Zhi , Tsai Bo-En , Kuo Chia-Lung
Published: April 2022

In this study, the magnetic field-based abrasive grain patterning for the production of electroplating diamond wire saws was studied. During the manufacturing process of the electroplating diamond wire saw, a permanent magnet was used to perform magnetization of the carbon steel wire. In addition, the following two methods were further used to perform partial degaussing on the carbon steel wire. The first method refers to the laser degaussing method, and the second method refers to the electromagnetic degaussing method, followed by performing electroplating on the carbon steel wire that has undergone the degaussing process. The impacts of these two methods on the magnetization characteristics of the carbon steel wire were studied, the magnetic induction strength of the zone of degaussing, range of the zone of degaussing, production speed, etc., in order to reach a conclusion on the methods for degaussing of a carbon steel wire. In this study, a nanosecond laser with a wavelength of 355 nm was used to perform a partial degaussing treatment on the surface of a magnetized carbon steel wire. When the laser fluence is 11.56 J/cm2, the controlled degaussing region of the abrasive grains could be minimized to 83.8 μm.

Eit dobbelt privilegium – mål og meining i eit uvanleg bygdekor
Authors: Oltedal Elizabeth
Published: April 2022

The combination of local choir and composer of free tonal music is rather unusual, but in Volda the longstanding relationship between composer Magnar Åm and the choir he conducts, Volda Vokal, is rewarding both for himself and for the choir members. Existing research has contextualized the amateur choir as a community of practice dynamically balancing social and artistic goals, with professional performance as a guiding ideal. However, the amateur performance may potentially hold other qualities that can bring new meaning to the music performed. In this article I write about how various participants in Volda Vokal perceive the interaction of artistic and social aspects, and how the work of rehearsing and performing Åm’s music can be understood in terms of various meanings of authenticity.
Magnar Åm – ei stemme i Volda og verda
Authors: Strøm Gunnar
Published: April 2022

In this portrait of Magnar Åm, Gunnar Strøm describes different aspects of a meaning-seeking life project in which there are no clear divisions between the pursuits of composer, musician, conductor, teacher, local citizen and cultural entrepreneur. At home as much in local as in international settings, Åm’s activities range from creative proposals for a community cultural centre to the equally creative use of a neglected factory in the absence of such localities, and from the nurturing of young performers and budding composers to the performance of his own innovative compositions in international contexts. His wide-reaching work has given inspiration to many others, and he continues with unabating vitality to inspire.
Stilla i musikk og litteratur
Authors: Hjorthol Geir , Vaage Lars Amund
Published: April 2022

The following text presents a dialogue between author Lars Amund Vaage and professor of Nordic literature Geir Hjorthol. Both are also musicians, and here they discuss the theme of silence in music and literature with particular focus on silence as a connecting link or junction between literature and music, as well as its role in expressing the non-verbal and unverbalized. The latter is a central theme in Vaage’s novel Syngja (Sing) (2012), in which he portrays the relationship between a father and his severely autistic daughter and an absence of verbal language that they both, in strange ways, seem to have in common. Vaage has also reflected over relationships between language, music and muteness in the long essay Sorg og song (Sorrow and Song) (2016). The dialogue below draws on Rancière’s proposal that ‘the music of literature’ is connected to an aesthetic regime in modern literature, in which there is focus on text and form in a different way than previously. Paradoxically, the music of literature springs from muteness at the intersection of textual speech and experience.
Stilla og det omvende i musikken
Authors: Vaage Knut
Published: April 2022

This essay by composer Knut Vaage employs the idea of silence, or stillness, in music, as a frame, first for describing certain characteristics found in the music of Magnar Åm, and then discussing several aspects of four of his own compositions. In the first part, he describes how Åm’s music paradoxically seems to evoke stillness whilst clearly moving forward, holding a productive tension between qualities of beauty and solace, and «rasping dissonances that last long enough to scratch scars on the soul».
In the second part, Vaage describes how his own music often contrasts sharply with that of Åm, although both are concerned with the stretching-out of sound and qualities of stillness between more intense areas in the music. Another shared interest is the use of literature as inspiration for music, while differing in approach. Reflecting over his settings of texts by his grandfather, author Ragnvald Vaage, Vaage refers to the inevitable structural relationship between sound and silence, and how the effect of silence in music can be more dramatic than that of sound itself. Concomitantly, when repetitions and pauses are written into a dramatic text, as in the libretto for Vaage’s opera based on Jon Fosse’s play Someone is going to come (1996), Vaage fills these silences with music, creating an interpretative commentary on the drama of the silences themselves. Thus music, however noisy, may also communicate the complexity of human vulnerability.
Stilla, torevêret og rugda sitt språk: Musikken i Vesaas' Fuglane
Authors: Sørbø Jan Inge
Published: April 2022

This article is a reflection over the process of making an opera-libretto on the basis of a novel (Tarjei Vesaas: The Birds). The most straightforward method would be to concentrate on the plot, which can be transferred quite easily from novel to opera. But for the music to be more than an underlining and enforcement of events in the plot, the librettist must read the novel in a more advanced way to grip the dimensions of the text. What kind of rooms are opened in the text, what is accentuated or, conversely, played down in the text, and what is connected to fear, hope, fellowship or isolation? And above all: Where does the text open up for phenomena that lie at the borders of what everyday language can say? In the Vesaas novel, the Bird motif, the secret language of the woodcock, plays a major part. It is precisely in the secret, almost unutterable language of the bird that we can find the bridge over to the music. This insight leads into a reflection upon the nature of language in a broader perspective. Language is far more than empirical claims about the world; speech consists of acts and signs that go beyond only pointing to facts in the world. Literary language can be as objectless as music, pointing to itself, and it can at this point have the strongest force.
«min klode, mi sjel». Mitt møte med Magnar og musikken
Authors: Habbestad Kjell
Published: April 2022

I met Magnar Åm during my schooldays in Bergen, where he taught me jazz piano. In 1972 I enjoyed participating in the première of his breakthrough work. Later, during composition studies, I based my diploma dissertation on an analysis of Åm’s work punkt null (1978). In the present article I revisit this work and attempt to establish and name some of the compositional principles used, and discuss the composer’s relation to programmatic content.
In the second part of the article, I present a brief overview of Åm’s later production, aiming in particular to find points at which he departs from his original manifest. My plan from the start was not to present the works in chronological order, but rather to group them according to various characteristics and similarities. However, it became apparent during the process that the portfolio had a natural progression in itself, revealing a sequential thematic and dramaturgical development, thus making it unnecessary, with few exceptions, to depart from the chronological order.
After this overview, I attempt to ‘place’ the composer and to draw some – highly subjective – conclusions.
Att förstå sexuella trakasserier – tre förklaringsmodeller och deras pedagogiska implikationer
Authors: Eek-Karlsson Liselotte , Hedlin Maria , Olsson Ragnar
Published: April 2022

I föreliggande studie är syftet att presentera ett pedagogiskt verktyg för att sortera könsrelaterade resonemang relevanta för diskussioner om sexuella trakasserier, samt att lyfta fram och tydliggöra de pedagogiska implikationer som ett visst grundantagande för med sig. Detta pedagogiska verktyg appliceras på två kvinnliga gymnasieelevers berättelser om erfarenheter av sexuella trakasserier under sin tid i grund- och gymnasieskolan. Tre olika förklaringsmodeller används i analysen. Dessa är ’med könsskillnader i fokus’, ’med den könsneutrala individen i fokus’ samt ’med könsnormer i fokus’. När könsskillnader framhålls som förklaringsmodell, blir slutsatsen att pojkarna styrs av sin biologi och att de därför inte kan hållas ansvariga för sina handlingar. Om könsneutralitet betonas, blir konsekvensen att sexuella trakasserier inte kan knytas till ett specifikt kön. Istället är det den specifika situationen eller individen som är den avgörande faktorn. När könsnormer är i fokus kan sexuella trakasserier förstås som något unga män i grupp använder sig av som ett sätt att stärka och bekräfta maskulinitet i en heteronormativ ordning. Vissa förklaringsmodeller kan underlätta och andra kan försvåra arbetet för att motverka sexuella trakasserier.
English abstract
Understanding sexual harassment – three explanatory models and their educational implications
In the present study, the purpose is to present a pedagogical tool for sorting gender-related reasoning relevant to discussions about sexual harassment, as well as to highlight and clarify the pedagogical implications that a certain basic assumption entail. This pedagogical tool is applied to two female high school students’ stories of experiences of sexual harassment during their time in primary and secondary school. Three different explanation models are used in the analysis. These are named ‘with gender differences in focus’, ‘with the genderneutral individual in focus’ and ‘with gender norms in focus’. When gender differences are emphasized, the implication is that boys are ruled by their biology and therefore they cannot be responsible for their actions. If gender neutrality is stressed, the consequence is that sexual harassment cannot be linked to a specific gender. Instead, it is the specific situation or the individual that is the triggering factor. When gender norms are in focus, sexual harassment can be understood as something that young men in groups use to strengthens and affirm masculinity in a heteronormative order. Some of the explanation models may facilitate and others may complicate the work of counteracting sexual harassment.

The big hole planting system for oil palm is one of the efforts to control the infection of Ganoderma boninense. The big hole method can also improve physical and chemical soil properties that affect the soil microbes population and in turn suppress the soil pathogens. However, the information about soil microbes population under the big hole planting method is still limited. This study aimed to compare the population of soil bacteria and fungi in soil samples from oil palm plantations that applied the big hole for 15 years and non big hole (standard) planting method. The population of bacteria and fungi was analyzed using the dilution plate method, while the calculation was based on the total plate count. Based on the results of statistical analysis (P-Value = 0.05), it is known that the mean population of bacteria is significantly different but the mean population of fungi is not significantly different between the big hole and non-big hole planting systems. The population of soil bacteria under the big hole and standard method was 1.6 x 106 cfu/g and 1.1 x 106 cfu/g, respectively. Meanwhile, the population of soil fungi under the big hole method was 9.7 x 104 cfu/g and 7.2 x 104 cfu/g under the standard planting method. Microorganisms in soil are considered important for maintaining soil health and quality, because various microorganisms are involved in important soil functions. In addition, high soil microbial populations will contribute to reducing soil base disease or suppression of soil pathogens.

IntroductionUnder section 31 of the Children Act 1989, public law care proceedings can be issued if there is concern a child is subject to, or at risk of significant harm, which can lead to removal of a child from parents. Appropriate and effective health and social support are required to potentially prevent some of the need for these proceedings. More comprehensive evidence of the health needs and vulnerabilities of parents will enable enhanced response from family courts and integrated other services.
ObjectiveTo examine health vulnerabilities of parents involved in care proceedings in the two-year period prior to involvement.
MethodsFamily court data provided by Cafcass Cymru were linked to population-based health records held within the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage Databank. Linked data were available for 8,821 parents of children involved in care proceedings between 2011 and 2019. Findings were benchmarked with reference to a comparison group of parents matched on sex, age, and deprivation (n = 32,006), not subject to care proceedings. Demographic characteristics, overall health service use, and health profiles of parents were examined. Descriptive and statistical tests of independence were used.
ResultsNearly half of cohort parents (47.6%) resided in the most deprived quintile. They had higher levels of healthcare use compared to the comparison group across multiple healthcare settings, with the most pronounced differences for emergency department attendances (59.3% vs 37.0%). Health conditions with the largest variation between groups were related to mental health (43.6% vs 16.0%), substance use (19.4% vs 1.6%) and injuries (41.5% vs 23.6%).
ConclusionThis study highlights the heightened socioeconomic and health vulnerabilities of parents who experience care proceedings concerning a child. Better understanding of the needs and vulnerabilities of this population may provide opportunities to improve a range of support and preventative interventions that respond to crises in the community.
The Influence of Institutional Quality towards Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Inflows in ASEAN’s Developing Countries
Authors: Hananya Kezya Agustina , Handoyo Rossanto Dwi
Published: April 2022

This paper discusses the influence of institutional quality on FDI stock inflows towards eight developing countries in Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Institution in this paper is classified in four forms, namely legal, bureaucratic, politics, and economic institutions. This paper utilizes the method of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and panel data regression. After using PCA method to identify which variables hold the most importance, the authors then constructed an individual index for four institutions as defined before. These indices are then used for panel data regression. The result of this paper indicates that out of four forms of institutions, three institutions are found to be significant determinants. These three institutions are legal, bureaucratic, and economic institutions. Surprisingly, while bureaucratic institution has positive coefficients, the other two forms of institutions have negative coefficients, suggesting that FDI stock inflows towards developing countries in ASEAN are more likely to be motivated by weak legal and economic institutions.

Indonesia’s economics contribute dominantly to the agriculture sector. Its also represented in Lampung Province, Indonesia. The main goal of the research was to design an agricultural development model. The method is approached by Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) model. SAM Lampung was designed as a macro model with an 8 x 8 matrix. Secondary data of Input-Output Lampung 2010 as basic data. Data sources get from Lampung Statistic Board and agriculture agency, industrial and trade agency, and Indonesia monetary authorization. The result revealed that based on the total multiplier, the agriculture sector is still dominant in Lampung’s economic structure. Unfortunately, agriculture’s household multiplier was the lowest compared with trade and industry, and services. This fact indicates that agriculture development is not adequate yet enhancing the farmer’s income. Agriculture development needs to address farmer’s households. Stimulation on agriculture exogenous balance is necessary to enhance farmers’ household income.

The presence of the informal sector gives rise to more disadvantages in the economic development of a country, and individuals working in this sector are more vulnerable to poverty. However, technology plays an important role in decreasing the extent of informality and increasing work productivity. This study was conducted to examine the extent to which the use of the Internet in the job activity of entrepreneurs in the informal sector could increase their income. Using data from the Indonesian Labor Force Survey 2019–2020 and ordinary least square regression method, this study reveals that the use of the Internet significantly correlates with an increase in income by 11.8%. The effect was found to be 12% higher among entrepreneurs in the non-Java regions than in Java regions. Meanwhile, male entrepreneurs were noted enjoy a 14% greater benefit than female ones.

AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui adanya pengaruh antara opini audit, temuan kelemahan sistem pengendalian internal dan temuan ketidakpatuhan perundang-undangan terhadap tingkat korupsi di pemerintahan daerah provinsi. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian kuantitatif dengan data sekunder. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada 34 provinsi diseluruh Indonesia tahun 2014-2019, dengan total sampel sebanyak 204 sampel. Sumber data menggunakan IHPS 2014-2019 dan laporan tahunan KPK. Analisis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah dengan metode regresi linear berganda dengan purposive sampling. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa opini audit, temuan kelemahan SPI dan temuan ketidakpatuhan perundang-undangan berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap tingkat korupsi. Keterbatasan penelitian ini adalah data yang dipakai hanya terpaku terhadap laporan keuangan sehingga akan lebih baik jika menambah variabel non keuangan untuk mendeteksi korupsi. Kebaruan penelitian ini terlihat pada laporan yang digunakan menggunakan data dari KPK, menganalisis secara terpisah variabel temuan audit menjadi temuan audit atas kelemahan sistem pengendalian internal dan temuan audit atas ketidakpatuhan terhadap peraturan perundang-undangan, dan sampel menggunakan 34 provinsi di Indonesia dari tahun 2014-2019.

The purpose of this study is to determine the model for preparing the shop financial statements and to determine the knowledge and understanding of shop owners about SAK EMKM. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. To find out the application of SAK EMKM at the shop, the researcher used direct observation and interview techniques. The results of this study indicate that the Sularmi shop did not make financial reports at all and did not understand the application of SAK EMKM. This study only focuses on one sample of small businesses. The limitations of the research experienced were that the shop owners did not know about SAK EMKM at all. The possibility of contributing to the implementation of SAK EMKM has not been able to contribute because of the low understanding of SAK EMKM. However, we hope to provide assistance to improve understanding, knowledge, and skills of accounting practice as well as to analyze working capital needs in Sukoharjo Regency.
