Traditional Arts in the Virtual Production Arena
Authors: Hidajat Robby
Published: August 2022

This article reviews traditional arts in the ‘virtual production arena’. Artists of art activities in a virtual production arena must maintain their life energy and belief in the importance of their art works. This situation has forced conservers of traditional arts to be sensitive and set limits on the intervention of other artists. Empathy and participation in traditional arts are seen as a fear of losing ownership and loyalty, and are also perceived as anxiety over the threat of impairment. This article reviews the evolution, function, transformation and structuring that synergize local and global spaces of virtual production. Globalization is a process that reduces the existence of people in local spaces. To cope with this process, traditional arts have emerged, leaving the local buffer zone and entering the realm of generation Z, which has struggled to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. Traditional arts have undergone mutation in virtual space and live again with new soul, new vision and new shape, synergizing with current trends. Most agencies that conserve traditional arts fail to understand this transformation. Traditional arts have become a capital source that supports the identity of individuals, institutions, organizations and bureaucracies. Clash among art conservers over virtual space represents a path toward structuring. Several activities constitute this structuring, including: constructing new networks, new relations, new identities, and new participation in a global production arena; developing art as a commodity; alleviating the free market impact by presenting art as a social spirituality to help individuals who suffer from loneliness and alienation; and activating individuals who already live alone who are crowded by less important information. A downstream part of traditional art in its struggle for claiming virtual space is its economic implication for art conservers.

Challenges to Batik's Existence: Preserving Philosophical Values Against Accelerated Batik Production
Authors: Ratnawati Ike
Published: August 2022

Preservation is what maintains values and customs which have grown and developed alongside cultural practices. Values, traditions, customs, and cultures that grow in a society become important social assets or models that empower the community to understand their quality of life and welfare. People’s demands on batik are increasing; therefore, there is a shift in the meaning of batik motifs from traditional ones to new creations, allowing them to follow the latest designs and developments. This article attempts to describe the challenges to the existence of batik, which needs to be preserved against mass batik production. This article emphasizes the visual aspect of batik production. The study also describes how to preserve batik in order for it to survive, and the challenges experienced by society related to the development of batik’s visual aspect which will gradually accelerate batik production.

The Concept of Three and Visual Branding of Laweyan Surakatra Batik
Authors: Sayekti Pranti
Published: August 2022

The ‘Concept of Three’ dominated the visual branding practices of Laweyan Surakarta batik prior to the 1970s. The concept can be interpreted from various aspects: scientifically, religiously, socially, culturally, and mathematically. This study aimed to reveal the meaning of the visual branding process of Laweyan Surakarta batik prior to the 1970s, especially regarding the Concept of Three. The data collection methods included document analysis, observations and in-depth interviews. This study employed a symbolic power approach based on Bourdieu’s theory. The findings indicated that the Concept of Three used by Laweyan Surakarta batik-makers was influenced by the thinking of etiquette-makers. Their thoughts were based on their belief in the computations of meaning. Laweyan Surakarta batik-makers upheld the concept of Javanese aesthetics as the main consideration in creating etiquette in addition to taking into account the marketing concept. The cultural values of the community, which have been embedded in the individuals since childhood, have caused the Concept of Three to become rooted in the mentality of the batik community.

Designing Animated Infographics About Thesis Defense Registration Procedures
Authors: Sutrisno Arif
Published: August 2022

The procedure for carrying out the thesis defense continues to change in line with technological developments as well as the overall need for a more effective and efficient system. Many problems have occurred through this process of change. There is website-based information consisting of long texts of procedures and static infographics, but it turns out that these forms of media are not effective in conveying information that is easy to understand. Additionally, the design of these media is unattractive. Therefore, we propose an animated infographic design related to the thesis defense registration procedure. In this research, data were collected via a questionnaire and interviews with experts. The design stage included the steps of narrative concept, asset design, storyboard, animation, voiceover, editing and rendering to produce the final design result. This product was then tested through a questionnaire. The results of testing the previous media were then compared with the results of this media test. The findings demonstrated that the animated infographics significantly increased the understanding of lecturers and students regarding the thesis defense registration procedure. This was indicated by an increase in the results for the aspects of completeness, clarity, and attractiveness of information when compared to text media or static infographics. However, the animation video produced was very dependent on the combination of visual and sound elements, so that information was difficult to obtain when one of these did not function properly. Therefore, the next design stage will involve making a video that remains informative even in the presence of visual or sound disturbances.

Oglek Tempe Dance as an Attraction to Support Cultural-Based Village Tourism in Sanan, Malang
Authors: Suprihatin Dyah Pratamawati E. Wara , Hidajat Robby , Sumarwahyudi Sumarwahyudi , Wahyu Widyawati Ika
Published: August 2022

Sanan village is one of the designated tourist areas in Malang, and it has a special ceremony in welcoming their guests. The tour guide team picks up groups of tourists who enter the Sanan village area and escorts them to see the making of tempeh chips. However, the ceremony itself is rather bland as there is no artistic attraction in its process. Thus, in this community service activity, we packaged art tourism attractions with local characteristics, namely the welcoming dance of Oglek Tempe, to brand Sanan village as a culture-based tourism village. Nine female dancers perform the Oglek Tempe dance from the village of Sanan, following the concept of ‘babahan hawa sanga’. The dance reminds people to maintain honor and not to indulge in lust. The form of dance presentation demonstrates the style of movement, costumes, property, and musical arrangements typical of Malangan within six minutes’ duration. This is a spectacle dance. It also provides opportunities for tourists who want to dance along with the dancers by following the rules and protocols and not making disrespectful moves. The dance ends with the giving of souvenirs typical of Sanan village, namely decorations made of coral.

Published: August 2022

Topeng Panji is an iconic mask that can be found in the Panji Museum, Topeng village and in the Malang mask dance performance. With support from the Panji Topeng Ballet in Malang, it is time for the international community to learn about this Panji mask tourism village. However, there is a lack of promotional resources regarding this tourism village. The Panji mask tourism needs to be further developed to be worthy of becoming an international standard tour. This research was conducted to support the growth of the tourism sector with the aim of increasing the local economy. The Borg and Gall development model was used. An innovative Nusantara Heritage website was produced which should increase interest in visiting the tourism village by both local and foreign tourists.

Multi-interactive Media Development for Balinese Dance Vocational Courses
Authors: Wahyu Widyawati Ika , Rahayuningtyas Wida , Suprihatin E.W.
Published: August 2022

An analysis of the learning process of students of the Dance and Music Education Study Program in the Balinese Dance vocational course with the competence to practice Balinese dance revealed that the students faced difficulty in practicing Balinese dance. This was because they were constrained by distance, lack of face-to-face methods, and incommensurable student internet networks. In addition, teachers also have had difficulty in delivering materials because they could not reach students face-to-face. Given the conditions experienced by students and teachers, this research had the goal of developing learning media for Balinese dance vocational courses in the form of multi-interactive media, using the drill and practice model. Interactive learning multimedia involves a range of media such as text, sound, video, animation, and images, which are integrated into a computer program to convey messages to students. The developers in this research were competent in the field of learning vocational Balinese dance and designed the course during 2020/2021. This research was carried out in five stages, namely analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The products included interactive CDs that can be distributed flexibly using media such as flash disks, MMC card, or Bluetooth smartphones, and contain writing, images, infographics, learning videos and quizzes.

As part of the course for European integration in Ukraine, a new Energy Strategywas approved to reduce the share of coal among primary sources to 12.5 % by 2035, the share ofelectricity generation at TPPs and CHPs to 3 2%. In 2021, Ukraine joined the EU's Green Dealstrategy with a commitment to completely stop coal production and close coal energy and close coalenergy by 2050.At the same time, coal energy has advantages - significant reserves of domestic coal (first inEurope and eighth in the world), which make it a guarantor of energy independence.Given the growing share of "green" generation in Ukraine, the share of pulverized coalproduction should be kept at least 30% of total energy productionThe use of expensive imported natural gas in Ukraine's fuel balance stimulates the developmentof industrial and small energy based on cheap local fuels and combustible waste. The use of cheapcoal, peat, wood waste can reduce the cost of heat production in housing and communal services,industrial enterprises.Combustion of low-grade fuels is constrained due to the complexity of organizing a sustainablecombustion process.Local fuels are characterized by high humidity and ash content, low heat of combustion. Thezone of autogenous (self-sustaining) combustion is defined by the limits: combustible - more than25 %, moisture - less than 50 %, ash - less than 60% by working weight.Vegetation and wood are the starting point for the stages of metamorphism (carbonization):plant residues, peat, brown coal, coal, anthracite. Characteristics of humolites, the organic part of the fuel, by stages of metamorphism. Fuels ofdifferent types and different degrees of carbonization - peat, lignite is peroxidized and contain a lotof oxygen in the combustible mass, have the lowest thermal stability and the highest yield of volatilesubstances.In the process of metamorphism, oxygen is removed and the thermal stability of the organicmatter of the fuel is increased.
L’Amas ardent de Yamen Manai ou comment penser la crise politique au miroir de l’écologie
Authors: Zlitni-Fitouri Sonia
Published: August 2022

Il s’agit de montrer, dans cette étude, comment l’écrivain tunisien Yamen Manai, met en scène dans L’Amas ardent les mécanismes d’une crise environnementale doublée d’une crise politique. Il y pose un double regard à la fois nostalgique sur le temps d’« avant-crise », celui d’une relation harmonieuse entre l’homme et la nature, et inquiet face à un monde en danger. Cette inquiétude écologique semble s’affirmer à travers un réalisme magique et une imagerie donnant l’impression d’un climat de « crise » générale. Ce récit, sous forme de conte, mêle en effet subtilement écologie et satire politique dans la Tunisie moderne. Le Don, un apiculteur vivant auprès de ses abeilles, loin des hommes et de l’agitation du monde, voit un jour ses ruches saccagées et ses abeilles coupées en deux par milliers. En s’interrogeant sur ce redoutable fléau, il part en quête de ce mystère dans une contrée bouleversée par le printemps arabe, en proie aux fanatiques de Dieu. L’écriture de la crise, écartant toute forme de pathos, s’appuie sur une verve ironique rappelant les contes philosophiques de Voltaire et une réflexion sur les questions environnementales qui débouche sur un imaginaire écologique.
Des crises d’identité (post)migratoire en Belgique francophone
Authors: Szczur Przemysław
Published: August 2022

Le présent article constitue une tentative d’exploiter, à des fins d’analyse du personnage littéraire, la notion de crise d’identité, récemment développée par Nathalie Heinich dans son ouvrage Ce que n’est pas l’identité. Pour ce faire, l’auteur s’appuie sur des exemples tirés de romans de Leïla Houari (Ni langue ni pays) et de Girolamo Santocono (Dinddra), deux auteurs belges contemporains d’origine migrante. Leurs personnages, migrants ou descendants de migrants, vivent des expériences qui s’apparentent à celle conceptualisée par Heinich. L’auteur interroge les raisons de ces crises identitaires (post)migratoires, leur déroulement et leur issue. Il s’avère que l’identité des migrant(e)s et de leurs descendant(e)s, marquée par une instabilité fondamentale, est particulièrement sujette à la crise. Toutefois, si l’identité (post)migratoire peut souvent être qualifiée de « crisique », les crises que traversent les personnages aboutissent habituellement à un dénouement positif.
De la crise à une réconciliation (im)possible dans l’univers houellebecquien
Authors: Wojciechowska Magdalena
Published: August 2022

L’objectif du présent article est de démontrer que malgré le pessimisme apparent de la narration, témoignant d’une société en crise, les récits de Michel Houellebecq fournissent également des indications précieuses quant à la manière dont ces crises peuvent être surmontées, ce qui les situe parmi les ouvrages littéraires dits « réparateurs ». L’analyse des origines et des enjeux de la crise sociétale ainsi que de la manière dont celle-ci résonne dans l’univers houellebecquien constitue la première partie de l’étude et le point de départ de réflexions sur le rôle de la poétique du désordre dans la réconciliation avec soi-même et avec le monde. Les dispositifs assurant une meilleure gestion des phases critiques – l’empathie, l’ironie, l’humour – sont bien présents chez l’écrivain. L’examen d’extraits de deux de ses romans, La Possibilité d’une île (2005) et Sérotonine (2019), permettra de mieux comprendre comment y sont exploitées les possibilités qu’offrent ces outils.
Crise économique et drame humain dans "Article 353 du code pénal" de Tanguy Viel
Authors: Maziarczyk Anna
Published: August 2022

L’article porte sur les modalités d’investissement littéraire de la crise dans Article 353 du code pénal, le plus réaliste des romans de Tanguy Viel. En nous appuyant sur des théories de la crise, nous étudions la manière dont l’auteur parle du drame humain engendré par la récession économique et des phénomènes pathologiques qui y sont liés. Nous faisons aussi ressortir la dimension didactique du texte qui consiste à dénoncer les arnaques financières, appuyées sur une parfaite connaissance des mécanismes psychiques qui s’activent chez l’individu dans des situations critiques. Notre but est de démontrer que, par Article 353 du code pénal, Viel cherche à éclairer sur le fait que la crise existentielle déclenchée par des pertes ou des abus de confiance subis dans la vie et le sentiment d’impuissance face au destin est une épreuve encore plus accablante et dévastatrice si elle atteint un individu vulnérable qui manque de force psychique pour s’en relever.

New 40Ar/39Ar data of dolerites of the Kanin-Timan province of intraplate magmatism (Kanin peninsula)
Authors: Shmakova A. , Kulikova K. , Travin A. , Bogatyrev L.
Published: August 2022

The Kanin-Timan region is located in the north-east of the European part of Russia and represents the western edge of the Timan-Pechora Plate. In the Devonian time, the Kanin-Timan region experienced rifting processes caused by the influence of a mantle plume. As a result of these processes, the Kanin-Timan dolerite complex was formed, which includes dolerite dikes and basalt sheets. The rocks of the complex have been studied throughout the study region. In the Middle Timan, the basalt plagioclase of the Upper Vorykva cover was dated by the 40Ar/39Ar method, the dating result indicates an age of 389 ± 6 Ma. Dolerites of the Kanin-Timan complex were also dated by the K-Ar method in the last century. As a result of dating, conflicting data on the absolute age from 378 to 288 Ma were obtained. To clarify the age of dolerites, 40Ar/39Ar dating was carried out. According to the isotope age data, the dolerites of the Kanin Peninsula are 419 ± 8 Ma, the age of the basalts of the Upper Vorykva cover is 389 ± 6 Ma. Thus, the magmatic activity that led to the formation of the Kanin-Timan complex in the Kanin-Timan region began earlier on the Kanin Peninsula, and then on the Timan. According to the research results, we believe that the Kanin-Timan complex began its formation in the Early Devonian with the peak during the Middle and Late Devonian time.

Schlesische Sprachinseln: historisches Phänomen aus der Perspektive der Gegenwart
Authors: Lasatowicz Maria Katarzyna , Tworek Artur
Published: August 2022

The aim of the article is to examine how the originally historical phenomena of language islands can be studied from a contemporary perspective. The previous language island definitions are reformulated in relation to modern circumstances (globalisation processes, mobility, media development). In the case of the former German language islands in Schönwald (Upper Silesia) and Wilamowitz (Eastern Silesia) current recordings of the language material are available, while the Rusyn language islands in Lower Silesia are an example of a modern form of island languages. The most important conclusion of the performed analysis with regard to the methodology of modern language island research is the need to include observations of the linguistic landscape in contemporary research of language island phenomena.
Die Schwelle überschreiten: die Rolle der verbfreien Nachfeldbesetzungen in Bundestagsreden
Authors: Caprioli Francesco
Published: August 2022

The essay outlines the properties of the so-called Nachfeld, the post-final syntactic field often referred to as a typical construction of spoken language, focusing on its peculiar forms in deputy speeches from the Parliament of Germany. After a brief introduction on the German sentence and on the typical features of how language is used in political discourse, the characteristics of the deputy speech as a sub-text type of political speeches are highlighted so as to present the reference corpus on which the essay is based. More precisely, the corpus is composed of 40 deputy speeches delivered between March and October 2020, a half of which address the theme of the coronavirus pandemic. The aim of the analysis is to show the constant presence of the Nachfeld in all speeches and that it should not be considered a mere form defect or a colloquial choice, as it is in fact a real means of persuasion. This fact will also be underlined thanks to the consideration of how the Nachfeld is treated in the written version of the speeches developed by the Parliament shorthand typists. Eventually, a system to categorise the functions and the linguistic appearances of the Nachfeld is proposed in order to demonstrate the existence of a real “syntax of politics.”
Generisches Maskulinum vs. „geschlechtergerechte“ Sprache
Authors: Chmiel Peter
Published: August 2022

This article deals with the current public discussion in Germany about so-called gendering. It is a kind of “culture war” between a small but very vocal social group fighting tooth and nail for “gender equality” in everyday language practice and the advocates of language purity and the opponents of language distortion on the other side. The author begins with a brief account of earlier attempts to manipulate language for ideological and political purposes before moving on to the various forms of distortion of contemporary German in terms of a completely false interpretation of women’s emancipation. Language is an invaluable cultural asset that must be protected just like cultural and natural monuments (monument and nature conservation).
Diferentes caras del ‘sacrum’ en el discurso literario rioplatense
Authors: Drozdowicz Maksymilian
Published: August 2022

This paper is an overview of many researchers’ opinions on the presence of a religious element in La Plata’s literature. The perspective of the article is definitely diachronic, critical and analytical. According to the conclusions of the literature researchers, there is a strict relationship between theological thinking and the current social and cultural issues and the ideological layer of particular literary works. A novelty in our study is that what is seemingly absent from the religious subject area can function as a visible sign of theological thinking in La Plata’s work. Even anticlerical attitudes may be indicating a religious background of their authors. Almost no literary work of La Plata may be considered as devoid of theological motifs or inspiration.
Erste Beobachtungen zur Genitivattribuierung in Magisterarbeiten polnischer Germanistikstudierender
Authors: Gołębiowski Adam
Published: August 2022

The intention of this paper is to present first observations and findings from a study on attributes in academic texts written by students. The present paper analyses the use of genitive attributes in master’s theses written by students of German philology, who are Polish native speakers. The purpose of this study is to identify tendencies in the use of the genitive attribute and its prepositional counterpart in students’ works as well as to indicate some of the potential problems the Polish authors writing in German can have with using these constructions. The analysed collection of data encompasses 250 examples of noun phrases with at least one genitive attribute and 48 examples of phrases with the preposition von gathered from five students’ texts. Because of the limited number of examined texts the results of the analysis should be interpreted with caution and it would be advisable to extend the analysis to more texts in the future. The paper begins by describing the primary syntactic properties of academic texts. Section 3 focuses on the genitive attribute and its counterparts and discusses potential problems these constructions can present to Polish native speakers. The next section presents the results of qualitative analysis of the data. The concluding section 5 sums up the presented study and offers some recommendations for further research.
Zusammenfassen in der Fremdsprache: Arten von Zusammenfassungen, Methoden des Resümierens, modifizierte Referenzskala für die Fertigkeit „Texte verarbeiten“
Authors: Iluk Jan
Published: August 2022

Summarising is not only an important academic skill. Research confirms, however, that the level of summarising in a foreign language is unsatisfactory. The reason for this is that people do not know the summarising strategy and the types of summaries. A careful analysis of the levels descriptions for this problem in the CEFR has shown that their description is inadequate. The main problem is that the descriptors characterise the input texts, not the output texts and summarisation strategies needed to edit them. Essential elements of the summarising strategy are content reduction, lexical and syntactic paraphrases, and metatextual activities. The degree of difficulty results from their linguistic complexity and simultaneous execution. The proposed correction of the reference levels in the CEFR is based on the description of the types of summaries and summarising methods in terms of their complexity. The article ends with a proposal of a new competence scale in the field of processing text.
The Anthropological Clue to Understanding of Society: as Emmanuel Todd Sees It
Authors: Studentsov V.
Published: August 2022

Essay aims at a critical appraisal of the prominent contemporary French social thinker Emmanuel Todd’s writings that explore constituent features of different family types and their psychological “worlds”. By delineating economic, educational and family relations as belonging respectively to conscious, subconscious and nonconscious spheres he asserts that different family types produce distinctive sets of values that account for person’s nonconscious preference for liberty versus authority, inequality versus equality etc. According to Todd to each type of family corresponds a particular ideology, political regime, religion etc. Thereby French sociologist provides original and rather unexpected insights into many social phenomena namely predisposition to liberalism, social democracy, communism, racism, xenophobia etc. Of a particular value is his elucidation of the anthropological roots of individualistic (American-type or absolute nuclear family) and coordinated (German and Japanese or stem family) capitalisms that sheds a new light on supposedly rather well documented story of the varieties of capitalism. However, in economic matters Todd is not always at his best. By describing homo economicus as a conscious but always acting in a framework of particular nonconscious family values, he somewhat blurs distinction between of conscious and nonconscious. In fact, he seems to have never been precise as to which – individual (personal) or collective (societal) – nonconscious family values modify person’s economic performance. As he sharply criticizes Germany for imposing a stem family (austerity) type economic policy on EC, one may deduce that they interact at least at a national level. French thinker’s theory critically depends on the thesis of an exceptional longevity of nonconscious family values, seemingly a rather questionable idea however supported by evidence. Even accelerating atomization of societies making family values’ influence more subtle does not undermine the validity of this his central thesis. Todd’ works are not without flaws but they are highly provocative, original and pathbreaking.
Influence of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Economy of Thailand
Authors: Golovin S.
Published: August 2022

The author analyzes the situation in the Thai economy in 2020–2021 after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic basing on the experience of working in this country as a Russian diplomat. Thailand was hit harder by the pandemic than the neighboring countries due to a larger share of tourism sector in the GDP, problems with the supply and local production of vaccines at an initial stage as well as the sharp decline in foreign trade. After a rocky start the Thai authorities managed to launch mass vaccination campaign and continue measures to support business and vulnerable groups of population. A reviving demand in developed countries helped to increase exports. However, the Thai economy’s recovery is going to be long and uneven. Firstly, global tourism sector is unlikely to return back to previous level soon and would depend on the COVID-19 situation. The possibility of further stepping up international trade will be limited because of global supply chain disruptions. Moreover, it will be difficult to support the GDP growth through the private and public consumption – the household and government debt during last 2 years have considerably increased. This could have negative impact on economic growth in 2022 and in the long-term. Hence, this year the Thai authorities would have to conduct prudent policy while trying to support households’ income and confine growing unemployment, because fiscal space for new borrowing is running out. Another priority is keeping epidemic situation in the Kingdom in order by continuing vaccination of its population.
Calculating the Speed Ratio of Wind Turbines with General Cone and Axis Angle for the Unsteady Blade Element Momen-tum Theory (UBEMT)
Authors: Scholz Dieter
Published: August 2022

Purpose – Extend the Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT) such that rotors with pronounced cone and axis angle (tilt or yaw) can be calculated. Derive an equation for the speed ratio (lambda) as a function of Tip Speed Ratio (TSR), radius, blade, cone and axis angle. This converts the BEMT into an Unsteady BEMT or UBEMT. Present the Wagner rotor as one such rotor geometry. --- Methodology – Literature review and calculations. --- Findings – The UBEMT can be used to calculate highly unconventional rotor geometries. --- Research Limitations – Although the aerodynamic coefficients used in the UBEMT are from measurements in steady flow conditions, they can be used with success. --- Practical Implications – Also conventional Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT) with noticeable cone and axis angle should be calculated with the UBEMT. The accuracy of power calculations of these HAWTs can be slightly improved. --- Originality – Analytic equations for rotors with cone and axis angle have barely been discussed.
Lipofuscin as the Main Driving Force of Current Age-Related Disease: Justification and Strategies for Removal
Authors: Renteln Michael
Published: August 2022

Lipofuscin is indigestible garbage that accumulates in the autophagic vesicles and cytosol of post-mitotic cells with age. Drs. Brunk and Terman postulated that lipofuscin accumulation is the main or at least a major driving factor in aging. They even posited that the evolution of memory is the reason why we get lipofuscin at all, as stable synaptic connections must be maintained over time, meaning that the somas of neurons must also remain in the same locale. In other words, they cannot dilute out their garbage over time through cell division. Mechanistically, their position certainly makes sense given that rendering a large percentage of a post-mitotic cell’s lysosomes useless must almost certainly negatively affect that cell and the surrounding microenvironment. Here, I explore the possibility that the accumulation of lipofuscin to some extent underlies all other categories of age-related damage as defined by Dr. Aubrey de Grey. I do not think that lipofuscin removal will reverse/prevent all forms of aging, just the major component facing us currently. It may suffice for the next few hundred years by itself. In this piece, I will review what is known about lipofuscin accumulation from evolutionary and mechanistic standpoints and discuss ways of removing it from post-mitotic cells (and then the body).
How to Shut Down Transcription in Archaea During Virus Infection
Authors: Pilotto Simona , Werner Finn

Multisubunit RNA polymerases (RNAP) carry out transcription in all domains of life; during vi-rus infection, RNAPs are targeted by transcription factors encoded by either the cell or the virus, resulting in the global repression of transcription with distinct outcomes for different host-virus combinations. These repressors serve as versatile molecular probes to study RNAP mechanisms, as well as they aid the exploration of druggable sites for the development of new antibiotics. Here, we review the mechanisms and structural basis of RNAP inhibition by the viral repressor RIP and the crenarchaeal negative regulator TFS4, which follow distinct strategies. RIP operates by occluding the DNA-binding channel and mimicking the initiation factor TFB/TFIIB. RIP binds tightly to the clamp and locks it into one fixed position, thereby preventing conformational oscil-lations that are critical for RNAP function as it progresses through the transcription cycle. TFS4 engages with RNAP in a similar manner to transcript cleavage factors such as TFS/TFIIS through the NTP-entry channel; TFS4 interferes with the trigger loop and bridge helix within the active site by occlusion and allosteric mechanisms, respectively. The conformational changes of RNAP described above are universally conserved and are also seen in inactive dimers of eukaryotic RNAPI and several inhibited RNAP complexes of both bacterial and eukaryotic RNA polymer-ases, including inactive states that precede transcription termination. A comparison of target sites and inhibitory mechanisms reveals that proteinaceous repressors and RNAP-specific antibiotics use surprisingly common ways to inhibit RNAP function.
A Quantitative Framework for Evaluating the Societal Impact of Antimicrobial Use Reduction in Agriculture
Authors: Emes Eve Tresco
Published: August 2022

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasingly pressing threat to human, animal, and environmental health. Reducing the use of antibiotics in agriculture has been identified as a key way to curb the spread of AMR. However, the effect of such policies on AMR prevalence, and their broader impacts on agricultural, health, and economic outcomes at the population level have proven very difficult to estimate and compare. This paper draws on and formalises ideas presented at the JPIAMR New Perspectives on Bacterial Drug Resistance workshop in June of 2022. With reference to emerging literature on the topic, it proposes a quantitative framework for estimating the relevant causal relationships needed to quantify the cross-sectoral impacts of AMR policies in agriculture, and for comparing these outcomes in like terms in a way which can feed directly into policy decision-making, notably without prohibitive data requirements. The ability of researchers to apply frameworks such as this will be increasingly necessary in order to holistically capture the impacts of AMR policies and to situate them in the broader policy context; especially where the mechanisms of transmission are opaque or complex, where data availability is limited; and where policymakers must allocate scarce resources among many competing objectives.

Purpose: assess changes in the health state of teenage-youth due to the transformation of the sociocultural environment (on the example of the Irkutsk region).

Materials and methods. The observation contingent is the population of adolescence (15–19 years old). The subject of the study is the characteristics of the incidence and mortality of the contingent underline in the process of changes in the sociocultural medium. Data on mortality rates were obtained on sites of Federal State Statistics Service and of the Center for Demographic Research of the New Economic School, the trend analysis was carried out by a linear regression analysis using the SPSS program (IBM).

Results. In the first half of the post-Soviet period (from 1991 to 2005–2009), in the Irkutsk region, in the contingent of adolescence, there was a rapid increase in the prevalence of some socially determined diseases and states (addiction, sexually transmitted diseases), as well as mortality rates. In the second half of the period (from 2006–2010 to 2020), there was a decrease in morbidity and mortality, however, with all positive shifts, even the relative well-being in these areas was not achieved. In 2019, the mortality rates of young men in connection with suicides in the region exceeded the corresponding figures of Poland 2,5 times, Sweden – 8,2 times; Mortality rates from violent causes (murders) exceeded the corresponding figures of Poland 6,4 times, Sweden – 2,0 times. High levels of socially determined morbidity, adolescence mortality in the post-Soviet period are a consequence of adverse changes in the sociocultural environment.

Conclusion. Negative phenomena in the mentally-psychological and somatic health of young people are developing in a state of culture, characterized as “sociocultural destruction”. The latter is due to the processes of marginalization of the population, miscalculations in the areas of state ideology and cultural policies, the destruction and substitution of value orientations, the degradation of morality. The most important task facing the authorities and society is to overcome the factors leading to socio-cultural destruction, strengthening the integrity of the consolidating ethnic group of the cultural system.

Abstract: Pandean Hamlet, Banjarsari Wetan Village, Dagangan District, Madiun Regency, the average community works as farm laborers. The large number of farm laborers is because the location is part of the outskirts of the city and is influenced by the education level of some people, which is arguably not too high and close to agricultural land. Based on observations and interviews, farm workers in Dusun Pandean receive a certain amount of wages and long hours. However, the fact is that farm laborers are still loyal to their employers and this contradicts the existing theory. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of wages and workload both variable and concurrently on work loyalty. This type of research uses quantitative associative methods, with a population of 49 agricultural laborers in Pandean Hamlet. The sampling technique used is total sampling, meaning that the entire population is taken as a sample. Processing and analyzing data with the help of SPSS 23 software. The data analysis technique used was multiple linear regression. The results showed that partially the wage variable obtained a value of (sig) 0.013 <0.05 and the workload variable of (sig) 0.523 > 0.05. Simultaneously obtained a value (sig) of 0.024 <0.05. The R2 value obtained is 14.9%, the remaining 85.1% is influenced by other factors not examined by the researcher.Dusun Pandean, Desa Banjarsari Wetan, Kecamatan Dagangan, Kabupaten Madiun, rata-rata masyarakatnya bekerja sebagai buruh tani. Banyaknya pekerja buruh tani ini karena tempat termasuk bagian pinggiran kota dan dipengaruhi tingkat pendidikan sebagian orang yang bisa dibilang tidak terlalu tinggi serta dekat dengan lahan pertanian. Berdasarkan observasi dan wawancara buruh tani yang terdapat di Dusun Pandean menerima upah dengan besaran tertentu dan jam waktu panjang. Namun, faktanya para pekerja buruh tani masih setia pada pemberi kerja yang mereka tempati dan ini bertentangan dengan teori yang ada. Tujuan dalam penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh upah dan beban kerja baik secara pervariabel maupun bersamaan terhadap loyalitas kerja. Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif asosiatif, dengan populasi  para pekerja buruh tani Dusun Pandean sebesar 49 orang. Teknik sampling yang digunakan yaitu sampling total, artinya seluruh populasi diambil untuk dijadikan sampel. Pengolahan dan analisis data dengan bantuan software SPSS 23. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah regresi linier berganda. Hasil menunjukkan secara parsial variabel upah diperolah nilai sebesar (sig) 0,013 < 0,05 dan variabel beban kerja sebesar (sig) 0,523 > 0,05. Secara simultan diperoleh nilai (sig) sebesar 0,024 < 0,05. Nilai R2 diperoleh sebesar 14,9% sisannya 85,1% dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain yang tidak diteliti oleh peneliti.
