Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological ailment that includes a variety of signs and symptoms, some of which might be associated with neurodegenerative or metabolic problems, especially those that begin in the first two years of life. It can be caused by a variety of factors. Children with disabilities' families have grown increasingly active in their care and have taken on the role of primary caregiver. Early detection and intervention of problems to minimize developmental delays. Objectives: To assess the awareness, knowledge and satisfaction about physical therapy in parents of cerebral palsy children visiting hospitals in Lahore Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted at visiting hospitals in Lahore from November 2021 to April 2022 through a non-probability convenient sampling technique. A total of 81 parents were selected for this study. The data was assembled by using a self-made questionnaire. Results: Parents of 35 (43.2%) children were aware of physiotherapy while 46 (56.8%) came to know about physical therapy treatment after coming to the hospital setting. The majority, 51(63%) parents were aware of physiotherapy treatment because of child specialist referral. 64(79%) children were taking physiotherapy treatment on daily basis. 45.7% of parents were extremely satisfied, 38.3% were very satisfied and 0% were not satisfied with physiotherapy treatment. Conclusions: It was concluded that the majority of parents were not aware of physical therapy before visiting the respective setting or having a session with a physiotherapist and the majority of parents were satisfied by the physiotherapy treatment given to their children.
Article: ‘VAT Gap’ Estimation: Distinguishing Between Informality and Fraud
Authors: Gajewski Dominik J. , Jonski Kamil
Published: June 2022

The value added tax (VAT) remains a primary source of budget revenues across Europe. Consequently, compliance with it became critical for the fiscal security of Member States. Consequently, the issue of VAT compliance received EU level attention, and quantitative indicators – known as ‘VAT gaps’ – were produced for particular countries and the entire EU. Unfortunately, the most common top-down approach to the ‘VAT gap’ calculation delivers only the aggregate estimate of noncompliance. However, designing effective policy interventions requires a more detailed diagnosis as countering organized crime VAT fraud schemes requires different strategies than the shadow economy. This article proposes a simple approach to the top-down ‘VAT gap’ estimation that would enable distinguishing between the two categories by building upon the minimal set of data available to the tax authorities. An analysis of the Polish ‘VAT gap’ experience confirms the validity of proposed method, facilitating its application in a study encompassing multiple countries.

Article: BEFIT and Formulary Apportionment: Should Intangibles Be Included in the Formula?
Authors: Martins António , Taborda Daniel
Published: June 2022

In 2021 the European Commission proposed a new framework for taxing corporate income (“Business in Europe: Framework for Income Taxation”, or BEFIT). Consolidated profits of European Union (EU) based groups will be aggregated into a single tax base, and then allocated to Member States (MS) through a formulary approach. Critical issues in defining the formula comprise how assets (including intangibles) should be reflected.

The purpose of this article is to discuss some core topics related to intangible recognition and its potential impact in the formulary approach considered in BEFIT. More precisely, the topics addressed are: (1) should intangibles be included in the asset component of the formula, alongside with sales and employment? (2) considering the several types of intangible assets, which ones would merit inclusion?

Our view is that intangibles acquired to other companies belonging to the group (related party transactions) and intangibles developed internally by group members but that do not meet criteria for accounting recognition, should be out of the formula. Contrarily, intangibles developed internally that fulfil criteria for accounting recognition, and intangibles acquired to third (independent) parties should be included, with an exception for recognized goodwill.

Online Platforms: Towards an Information Tsunami with New Requirements on Moderation, Ranking, and Traceability
Authors: Lodder A.R. , Carvalho J. Morais
Published: June 2022

Ideally, online contracts are concluded by informed consumers. For 25 years the European Union is issuing an abundance of information requirements providers of online services have to comply with. We briefly touch upon the previously existing information requirements, and findings on the intersection of behavorial studies and consumer law, but primarily focus on new information requirements against the background of an online platform offering space for businesses to provide their service to consumers. We critically discuss new information requirements from the so-called Omnibus Directive 2019/2161 primarily regarding changes in Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights. Also, we analyze amendments to the Directive 2000/31/EC on e-commerce as proposed late 2020 in the Digital Services Act. We focus on what information should be communicated, how this information should be communicated, and at what moment. In our analysis our doubts about the value of all this information is apparent, and we question the need for and interest of consumers for all information. In the end we suggest of what we believe should be directly communicated to the consumer, and what could be available only to those consumers, probably quite few, who are really interested.

Protecting Vulnerable Consumers in the Digital Single Market
Authors: Riefa Christine
Published: June 2022

The article argues that in a digital environment there is a need for a paradigm shift which includes reversing the expectations placed on consumers by EU law to be the arbiter of markets, to behave as ‘average’ consumers with additional protection granted for those deemed ‘vulnerable’. This is because we ought to expect vulnerability to be the norm rather than the exception. The information paradigm prevalent in EU consumer law also needs to be altered to solve the systemic vulnerability problems rife in digital markets. It should no longer be about consumers defending themselves (using rather imperfect instruments in the process), but about businesses behaving fairly and skilled enforcers ensuring obligations are fulfilled. Fairness in digital markets should be by design and not something that is offered to consumer simply as a remedy after the damage has already occurred.

How Do the Third Parties Contribute to WTO Dispute Resolution?
Authors: Ryu Jeheung
Published: June 2022

World Trade Organization (WTO) judicial bodies face dual obstacles because of their limited legal authority: they do not have the power to investigate members, so they depend primarily on submissions from disputants. They have no authority to sanction members directly, so they rely on decentralized enforcement. The legalization of the trade regime depends on consent and voluntary compliance. This article focuses on the role of third parties in the dispute settlement process and investigates how they contribute to the legalization of the WTO. I use an original dataset covering all WTO disputes from 1995 to 2012, containing unusually detailed information about the number of third parties, the total dispute settlement period, and the final stage that disputants use, etc. In contrast to the existing literature, which characterizes third parties as spoilers that prevent early settlement, I find that WTO third parties have heterogeneous motivations for participation; moreover, participation by third parties with differing motivations has different effects on dispute settlement and compliance. In particular, third parties that claim to have ‘systemic interests’–a legal designation that allows them to participate despite their negligible stakes in a dispute–have considerable influence on dispute resolution. Specifically: (1) their briefs provide higher-quality information than other third-party briefs to panels and the Appellate Body; (2) they help to accelerate dispute settlement; and (3) their participation makes respondents more likely to comply with panel and Appellate Body rulings.

Urdu News Content Classification Using Machine Learning Algorithms
Authors: Khawar Iqbal Malik
Published: June 2022

As the world has become a global village, the flow of news in terms of volume and speed increases. It is necessary to engage computing machines for assisting people in dealing with this massive data. The availability of different types of news and such material on the Internet serves as a source of information for billions of users. Millions of people in our subcontinent speak and understand Urdu. There are several classification techniques that are available and are applied to classify English news like political, Education, Medical, etc. Plenty of research work has been done in multiple languages but Urdu is still to be worked on due to a lack of resources. This research evaluates the performance of twelve (12) different Machine learning classifiers for the Urdu News text Classification problem. The analysis was performed on a relatively big and recent collection of Urdu text that contains over 0.15 million (153,050) labeled instances of eight different classes. In addition, after applying pre-processing techniques, the TF-IDF weighting technique was adopted for feature selection and data extraction. After evaluating various machine learning methods, the SVM outperforms the other eleven algorithms with an accuracy of 91.37 %. We also compare its results with other classifiers like linear SVM, Logistic regression, SGD, Naïve bays, ridge regression, and a few others.
Lung Cancer Detection using Supervised Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Mubashir Ali
Published: June 2022

In recent times, Lung cancer is the most common cause of mortality in both men and women around the world. Lung cancer is the second most well-known disease after heart disease. Although lung cancer prevention is impossible, early detection of lung cancer can effectively treat lung cancer at an early stage. The possibility of a patient's survival rate increasing if lung cancer is identified early. To detect and diagnose lung cancer in its early stages, a variety of data analysis and machine learning techniques have been applied. In this paper, we applied supervised machine learning algorithms like SVM (Support vector machine), ANN (Artificial neural networks), MLR (Multiple linear regression), and RF (random forest), to detect the early stages of lung tumors. The main purpose of this study is to examine the success of machine learning algorithms in detecting lung cancer at an early stage. When compared to all other supervised machine learning algorithms, the Random forest model produces a high result, with a 99.99% accuracy rate
A Comparative Analysis of COVID Forecasting by Using Various Machine Learning Methods
Authors: Jamaluddin Mir
Published: June 2022

Covid-19 emerged as one of the most infectious diseases in the history of mankind, affecting nearly 250 million people all over the world in just a short period. The pandemic which started in China, has now spread all over the world, taking about 5 million lives globally. This has also severely affected the economies of countries and has proved to be a burden on health care systems. Due to these reasons, forecasting the spread of the disease has become critical so that concerned government authorities in countries can have the chance to mitigate the spread and plan health care resources efficiently and properly. This makes it more important to have a reliable forecast so that resources can be planned ahead of time. In the present work, linear regression is used for time forecasting the spread of Covid-19 in Pakistan. Statistical parameters and metrics have been used to evaluate and validate the model. The results show that linear regression results are highly reliable, time efficient and accurate.

Authors: Nielsen Lars Holm , Gonzalez Lopez Jose Benito , Smith Tim , Ioannidis Alex
Published: June 2022

Properly managing, preserving, and sharing data can be a daunting task, especially for busy researchers who are constantly confronted with new tasks and requirements from funders and their institutions. Zenodo is a general-purpose data repository that enables researchers, scientists, project managers, and institutions to share, preserve, and showcase multidisciplinary research results (data, software, publications, and other research objects) that are outside the scope of existing institutional or subject-based repositories. Based in the trustworthy CERN data centre, Zenodo is a service provided by researchers to researchers contributing to open science by capturing research objects and making them FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable). This article addresses some of the challenges of data storage and data sharing, such as finding the right place to store data, citing data properly, and using hybrid data sharing solutions. It also demonstrates how using a data repository like Zenodo can help researchers address these challenges.
The fate of carboxymethyl cellulose as a polymer of pharmaceutical importance
Authors: Paria Arghya , Rai Vineet Kumar
Published: June 2022

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is one of the most widely used cellulose derivatives. This polymer is commonly used in several sectors, such as food, paper mills, textile, and pharmaceutical industries. CMC also has versatile applications in biomedical engineering, treatment of wastewater, energy production units, and many more. The main reason for selecting this polymer is its characteristic surface properties, mechanical/tensile strength, hydrophilicity, viscous properties, and majorly abundance source of raw materials. CMC production is a low-cost process that can be carried out quickly on a lab scale. Several research publications have been published on CMC, depending on the origins and application domains. This review provides general information on this material's properties, which justifies its applications in several medical and non-medical sectors.
A Review of Black Skin Research: Gloger Rule/Theory Dead or Alive?
Authors: Cibangu Sylvain
Published: June 2022

Unlike various topics of human life that recurringly naggingly preoccupy scholars, black skin tends to be considered by prestigious biology and science publication outlets as a closed and disposed-of topic. The present paper is not one of experiment, but rather the paper is a long-due comprehensive review of black skin scholarship, using a dominant theory of this scholarship, and suggesting newer insights for future research. Known since Antiquity, black skin -- euphemistically called dark sin -- has become the topic of repeated public debate in recent decades. Part of the reason is that although race is believed to be scientifically nonexistent skin color is not. Meanwhile, among the theories explaining black skin, Gloger rule/theory stands out to be the most popular. While multitudes of reviews have examined Gloger theory, few have confronted the theory with the arguments of Gloger himself. This might be because Gloger writings remain untranslated and unknown to English readership. Although Gloger was an ornithologist by profession, his arguments had immense ramifications far beyond the study of birds. The present paper focused on the key arguments of Gloger to present a critical assessment of black skin materials. To this effect, a comprehensive, historical background of Gloger theory was used along with recent research to bring in sharper relief Gloger teachings about skin color. In light of Gloger critiques, it was determined that Gloger theory is no less than inadequate and so is the description of black skin as a product of natural selection. Taken-for-granted theories and resultant arguments of black skin were reversed and paths for future skin color work were proposed. Gloger arguments highlight variability among species and across latitudes.

The objectives of the current study are in three folded: i) to determine the needs for family waqf emergent as a resolution to endemic poverty ii) to explore how could family waqf would contribute to the human development for the purpose of alleviating poverty and iii) to provide recommendations of family waqf as headlong for human Development in Southern Region of Nigeria. Since the study is purely exploratory hence; it carried out
document analysis as it affected the human development. Through the findings, it has been established that there is an urgent need to streamline the legal framework for waqf in Nigeria through proper legislation. The proposed legislation on waqf should only contain general guidelines for the regulation and management of waqf properties and waqf-related issues in the country. The economic potentials of such awqāf property is beyond doubt which would solve the poverty paralyses among the less privilege and poor. The foregoing finding is not exhaustive and is only intended to serve as a launching pad for further research in this area.
Gender mainstreaming och intersektionalitet
Authors: Yuval-Davies Nira
Published: June 2022

Mainstreaming and intersectionality have been two buzz words in the feminist politics and theoretical analysis for quite some time. Yuval- Davies examines the advantages and disadvantages of the two concepts and the relationship between the two - can mainstreaming and intersectionality enrich each other or are they necessarily conflicting concepts? With examples from discussions surrounding the work of the United Nations Yuval-Davies points to the weaknesses and strengths of both concepts for feminist politics and analysis.
Med karta och kompass: Kvt i den teoretiska terrängen
Authors: Fjelkestam Kristina
Published: June 2022

Kristina Fjelkestam's artide is a review of the feminist theoretical discussion in Kvinnovetenskaplig tidskrift (Kvt) during the last twenty-five years. Inspired by English language journals such as Sign sand Feminist Review, Kvt has emphasised a double strategy from the very first issue. On the one hand the editors declare that Kvt is supposed to act as a disseminator of international and national feminist research in Sweden, and, on the other hand, to engage in a dialogue with the women's movement activists. Kristina Fjelkestam identifies the central feminist theme that runs through Kvfs twenty-fiveyear history as being the "whys" and "hows" of the subordination of women. Although the questions remains central to feminist theory, the explanations have varied over time. Two major theoretical shifts are re-read and analysed, namely the early theories of patriarchy and the more comtemporary theories of intersectionality. A reflection on the epistemological and ontological foundations of emancipatory theory concludes the article.
Enade vi falla, söndrade vi stå! Reflektioner om kontinuitet, kronologi, myter och stringens
Authors: Edenheim Sara , Persson Cecilia
Published: June 2022

Through this article the authors try to find a way of pedagogical consistency concerning theory, teaching and Gender Studies as an institutionalized subject. The authors use their positions as teachers of Gender Studies, professional historians, and poststructuralist feminists to integrate a theoretical consistency in the very methodology of academic courses. This is done through a presentation of what the authors see as problematic in the current curriculum, where they point out how chronology and an Identification with "Gender Studies" as a homogenous field are made mandatory through the structure of the course. Such a legitimization ofthe past combined with the lack of self-critical institutionalization of knowledge and an unproblematized identification with women/victims, runs the risk of turning feminist projects into moralistic productions of knowledge with a political agenda of ressentiment. By proposing minor changes to the curriculum, the authors begin an investigation of the possible effects of such changes and they come to the conclusion that an abandonment of chronology and consensus, replaced by genealogy and a sublimation of conflict, may have more political and corporeal effects than first anticipated. The power of mourning, as well as the power of laughing, are hence taken as possible and desired points of departure for a different pedagogical and political order.

Authors: Gulbrandsen Elisabeth , Trojer Lena , Björkman Christina , Elovaara Pirjo
Published: June 2022

The paper elucidates the potentials of feminist techno-science for integrating knowledge production and production of politics within the domains of technology and engineering. This work of integration demands and stimulates development of additionaltheoretical perspectives and methodological approaches. The paper introduces the fundamental themes of feminist technoscience as a force that can potentially transform research. An introduction to the connection of research and politics with a reversed logic is given. This discussion formulates a foundation for the understandings of knowledge production at present time, which the authors identify as late modernity, and in which feminist techno-science play a relevant role. The paper concludes with a discussion on the two main concepts for feminist techno-science, namely "situated knowledges" and "technologies of humility".
Maskulinitet och mode som genusvetenskaplig och etnografisk utmaning
Authors: Nordberg Marie , Mörck Magnus
Published: June 2022

Fashion is a topic that deserves to be taken seriously, and our contribution sets out to explore the vitalizing possibilities of combining critical men´s studies/gender studies and queer with new impulses in fashion, consumer and visual studies, not only in terms of theory, but also in terms of grounding this work empirically in new ethnography. Through ethnographical observation we have followed masculinity being groomed and performed through different aesthetical practices, in particular we have focused on the pleasure culture of the hair studio and the business suit in the context of annual meetings. Our approach seeks to span the large scale movements of the fashion system and local practices. We discuss the problematic relationship between feminism and fashion studies and argue that RW Connell´s hugely successful conceptualisation of hegemonic masculinity prevents a more dynamic and differentiated understanding of competing masculinities, performed through varying, although largely unacknowledged aesthetic practices – a neglected field of study we think is highly promising. On the other hand, we also suggest that fashion studies today suffers from limitations that could be overcome by taking seriously the challenge of the new conceptualisations of gender and sexuality, not as given macro systems or discourses, but in butlerian terms as ongoing embodied iterations. It is a curious paradox that fashion studies often seems marginalise itself, making clothes and hair simply mirror other cultural and social entities, not as important discursive forces in themselves. We call for more traffic between gender – and fashion studies, in terms of theory, but without neglecting the necessity to ground with careful ethnographic work in ”writing bodies in movement”.

Förortsfeminismens villkor - transversell politik
Authors: Velásquez Juan
Published: June 2022

Juan Velásquez is recognizing the difficulties that frame the fight against discrimination, segregation and racism in Sweden. Gender mainstreaming and anti-discrimination work usually go for disparate roads, in spite that growing racism, homophobia and antifeminism require bigger unification between civil society, administrators and the scientific community. To articulate these actors Velásquez proposes transversal politics. He has studied this type of transversal work within the frame of a research project conducted in the multicultural community of Fittja, Botkyrka municipality in the metropolitan region of Stockholm. To advance this work he has developed a perspective based on participatory research that has turned into a transversal research. From the interaction among municipal officials, women’s networks and researcher, Velásquez seeks to make two fundamental contributions to the discussion on transversal politics. The first one is to engage in the local community. Transversal politics has been lifted as a perspective to build feminist alliances to overcome global patriarchal structures, and case studies on micropolitics related to that discourse are still few. Both the way in which women performed diversity as well as the search for commonality among them is subject to a series of conditions that frame what Velásquez in the context of a multicultural suburb in the Swedish welfare state calls a suburban feminism. The second contribution is based on a study how women in a place like Fittja overcome the conditions that frame their political underrepresentation. Velásquez shows how women practice what feminist scholars named ”rooting” to analyse their subordinate condition, advancing dialogues where the use of affections and feelings are fundamental. These affections have been important to make ”shifting”, to go from the understanding of subordination to the construction of a local alliance to face the patriarchal outline that concern them. The understanding of the conditions that frame the construction of local feminist alliances is also analyzed in relation to the problems that urban governance can generate, when a transversal frame between women networks, the public administration and researcher is established in order to empower underrepresented groups among women.
"Varför måste Butler vara så jävla akademisk?"
Authors: Ek Anne-Charlotte
Published: June 2022

The article discusses personal experiences gained by a teacher in gender studies and how she has addressed challenges such as the theoretical development and institutionalization of feminist theory on one hand, and the increasingly widened enrollment to higher education on the other. The argumentation is underpinned by concrete examples taken from a course where feminist poststructuralism is introduced. Special reference is made to Donna Haraway’s epistemological standpoint that all knowledge production is situated and that knowledge, in itself, always has social implications. If we transfer these insights to our classrooms, we need to consider how we, as teachers, articulate, motivate and establish our own culture of academic knowledge production. The power, in this situation, concerns how we relate to clashes of interests and the diversity of the range of possibilities, both in the interaction between teacher and student and between the students themselves. How we relate to these issues will result in different opportunities for different students to conquer the conceptual tools the course is aimed to give them. The author is therefore both giving arguments and, with practical examples, showing how an approach based on ‘walking your own talks’ can facilitate more equal power relations in our increasingly diverse classrooms.
”Sverige hjälper" - att fostra svenska folket till medvetenhet om sin egen storhet och andras litenhet
Authors: Öhman May-Britt
Published: June 2022

The article is a feminist postcolonial reading of the early phase of Swedish post-war development assistance. Departing from the fact that Swedish export interests was a major reason when initialising Swedish development aid in the 1950s, I analyse the rhetoric used in pictures and in text documents. Analysing mainly the two national fund raising campaigns of 1955 and 1961, both named “Sweden helps”, I argue that the arguments forwarded were taken from a colonial discourse library, using its imaginary dichotomies, with the purpose to win a public opinion in favour of development assistance. The idea promoted was that of a Swedish technological and scientific supremacy as compared to the ”underdeveloped” countries. The aim to support the export of Swedish technology was coupled with the promotion of a dichotomic worldview in which poor peoples should be helped to better lives through the introduction of the Swedish technological know-how. Within this altruist rhetoric the “underdeveloped” peoples and countries were depicted in terms of poverty, misery and malnutrition, despair and as being “primitive” – as opposed to the rich, modern and developed Swedes. While promoting this rhetoric, other discourses and interpretations of the “underdeveloped” countries and regions were overshadowed. The two national fund raising campaigns were used as instruments to raise the awareness of the Swedes, as well as to promote the support of a specific type of development assistance based on the altruist rhetoric. Many of the ideas and arguments that once were the base for colonial expansion of the European colonial powers were now applied to motivate a Swedish expansion on the international arena in times of decolonisation.
En förlossningsmaskin utan slut: simulering, realism och postmänsklig feminism
Authors: Sundén Jenny
Published: June 2022

Departing from a posthuman feminist understanding of the body (as something always already technological), this article critically explores the design of birth simulators and how simulator design relates to cultural understandings of intimate couplings between female bodies and technologies. The focus is on the construction of simulators, their possibilities, limitations and meanings – and not on actual use in clinical settings. Then again, thinking about design for medical practices is thinking about use in the sense that design processes and practices always inscribe and anticipate use and users in certain ways (and not others). In particular, the article investigates the status of the “real” as well as of “realism” in the simulation world. How are these concepts used within medical simulation? Which are the consequences of this conceptualization for understandings of bodies and technologies? Would a posthuman feminist framework offer other, alternative ways of thinking techno-bodies? The article draws on a range of sources, notably technical manuals, instruction videos, as well as an interview with the simulator’s “founding father”, but it also take into account historical parallels and predecessors, as well as ways of imagining simulator bodies in popular science contexts.

Se upp - allt fler kvinnor kör som män! Nollvisionen som diskurs och problemet män i trafiken
Authors: Balkmar Dag
Published: June 2022

Sweden is the first country in the world to have introduced the so-called Vision Zero (Nollvisionen). This is an ethical approach suggesting that road safety cannot be traded for mobility. Since the beginning of mass-motoring, men have been over-represented in traffic safety statistics, in terms of both “causing” accidents and casualties. Against the background of the Swedish Vision Zero, it is quite extraordinary how little attention work on traffic safety has paid to men’s over-representation in Swedish fatal road accidents (90%), and (auto)mobility as a way of doing gender. The present article discusses how men and women driver subjects are produced through the Vision Zero discourse, with a particular focus on how men in traffic are constructed. This is important since such constructions and modes of address affect possible interventions and “solutions” regarding road safety issues. Here I focus on three contemporary documents of policy making character or with general impact: first, the Governmental Act 2003 on road safety intervention; second, a report from the Swedish Road Administration which is applying a gender equality discourse on transport; and third a brochure issued by the Road Administration addressed to the everyday road user. These documents constitute case material that is illustrative of the Vision Zero as a generative apparatus of gender discourse. The article brings attention to the ambiguous ways in which the Vision Zero may, on the one hand, explicitly address men as problematic driver subjects, as an explicitly gendered high risk category; and, on the other, make men and masculine norms implicit through the rendering of young(er) driver subjects as problematic. This also involves pointing out women as an up and coming high risk category. To improve road safety, the discursive effects of this configuration suggest allocating responsibility partly to the “system”, partly to women driver subjects – in effect, to women who drive like men – rather than the men driver subjects.
Familjebildning och konstnärskapets fria vingar
Authors: Flisbäck Marita
Published: June 2022

Artistic professions may be characterised as risky activities with large investments in relation to the rewards that most of the practitioners can expect. Despite investing in long education, artists have a weak position on the work market and risk long periods without income or work, which makes extra jobs largely essential for sustenance. Since the art profession requires a continuous investment of time, it can also be difficult to distinguish clearly from other spheres of life, and thus it influences both one’s economic standard and family life. The field is also pervaded with a romanticism, where one has to challenge the world individually, an idea of artistic self-development as something in opposition to daily life, family life and security. Feministic researchers have claimed that artistic development and family life often have been regarded as mutually opposed phenomena. In this article I discuss what meanings this can have for young women with artistic ambitions. The article is based upon sequential, follow-up interviews with seven women with artistic interests. I discuss what these women think about their future, the distribution of time between artistic activity, work at home and family life. The interviewees in some way accept the romantic idea that free wings of self-development are fettered by care for other people. But at the same time as they reproduce this dualistic notion, they try to challenge it. They emphasise the potential freedoms which they see that family formation can offer. Having children is regarded as a journey of cultivation. In this way artistic activity becomes a practice where the limits between public and private are erased and self-development seems able to deal with social relations.

THE IMPACT OF KOKONAO STOCKPILE MATERIAL ADDITION WITH SUPER GRADE ORE MIXING MATERIAL TO THE CONSENTRATE CONTENT AND ALOY RECOVERY IN COPPER ORE FLOATATION PROCESS AT THE PT. FREEPORT INDONESIA
Authors: Asmarani Utari S. , Supit Jance M.
Published: June 2022

PT. Freeport Indonesia is one of the mining companies that process copper and gold ore. One type of ore processed in this company is Super Grade Ore (SGO). The characteristics of SGO are wet and smooth, which can result in some problems in transportation. Therefore, it is necessary to do the blending process using material from the Kokonao stockpile which tends to be drier and rougher but has a lower grade than the Cut of Grade of company. Applying the experimental method, this research aims to figure out the effects of the addition of Kokonao material in the blending process with SGO on concentrate grade and metal recovery results. Overall, the levels of Cu and Au reduce when the Kokonao material is added to each various composition, with the lowest Cu grade being 100% Kokonao (1,97%) and the highest Cu grade being 10% Kokonao (25,69%).

Papua Province, especially the Central Mountain Region, which experiences regional expansion will certainly experience an increase in the need for clean water. The spring found in Jayawijaya and Tolikara Regencies has a high potential for water resources if optimized for utilization. Therefore, research is needed on the potential of springs in both regencies so that this study can be continued towards the development of efficient management of spring water resources. Priority scales based on potential springs in the development of planning the provision of raw water sources with uncritical classification in Jayawijaya District can be carried out in Walelagama District, where the fulfillment of domestic water needs can be met by Goa Spring, Asokobal District where the fulfillment of domestic water needs can be met by the Hepuba 1 Spring, Hepuba 2 Spring and Hepuba 3 Spring, Maima District where the fulfillment of domestic water needs can be fulfilled by Waima 1 and Waima 2 Springs. Whereas in Tolikara Regency can be done in Wenam District where the fulfillment of domestic water needs can be met by Yelepelek and Lirak Springs, District Anawi where the fulfillment of domestic water needs can be fulfilled by Anawi 1 and Anawi 2 Springs, Kubu District where the fulfillment of domestic water needs can be fulfilled by Minagi Spring.

Published: June 2022

Mangrove and Bekantan (Nasalis larvatus) conservation areas (KKMB) in Tarakan City is a mangrove city forest area that is in the development stage, especially for the Bekantan population and mangrove ecosystem at large. With an area of about 22 hectares and at least 11 protected animal species including Bekantan, the KKMB has become an iconic tourism attraction. This is not only of the rarity of the attraction but also because this kind of venue is the only one in the world. This research aimed to find out the management, the uniqueness, and the obstacles faced in managing KKMB. The methods used are interview, observation, and literature study. The data obtained are compiled, processed, and analyzed with descriptive qualitative analysis methods, by providing an overview of the situation or events and phenomena in the field. From the study, we could understand that the KKMB is managed by the Tarakan City Tourism Office. The retribution came from KKMB is deposited to the Tarakan City Revenue Service. Furthermore, the uniqueness of KKMB attracts tourists to visit due to its strategic location in the middle of the urban area adjacent to the shopping centers, settlements, fishponds, companies, and access roads/ports. Two main attraction of the KKMB is the Bekantan (probosci's monkey) endemic to Borneo and The red mangrove (Rhizophoraa Apiculata). Last, the problem faced by the management of KKMB is no clear organizational structure and waste management that come from tides, domestic waste, and visitors. Also in KKMB, there is no clear organizational structure.

The processing of the base course must be able to meet consumer demand. Thus, evaluating the works of the crushing plant as well as adjusting the final products by washing the sand. The problems stated in this study are how much the pebble produces from the crushing plant, how much the pebble produces from the sand wash, what kind of obstacles during the process, and how to achieve better production. Furthermore, the study aims to calculate the plant yield production; the diffraction yield is 3075,004 m3 / month with the distribution in each fraction of 3/8 (pebble) fraction of 381,175 m3 / month fraction 1 / 2 (gravel) of 853,121 m3 / month, fraction 2/3 (pebble) of 1164,484 m3 / month, and rock ash fraction of 676,424 m3 / month. The calculation results have not yet reached the company standard; fractions 3/8 (pebble) = 10%, fractions 1/2 (pebble) = 21%, and fractions 2/3 (gravel) = 29%, and rock ash fractions ( very fine sand) = 17%, with the desired presentation the company is a fraction 3/8 (pebble) = 5 - 10%, fraction 1/2 (pebble) = 20 - 25%, fraction 2/3 (gravel) = 30 - 35%, and rock ash fraction (very fine sand) = 20 - 25%. Hence, the results of the presentation are deficiencies in fractions 2/3 (gravel) and stone ash (very fine sand). Whereas for sand washing, the number of buckets is 1339 times per month, with the amount of volume entering 3385.97 m³ / month, and the total volume coming out is 3361 m³ / month. Constraints that occur in the processing process in this case during production such as improper working time, rain, repair of tools, and chunks larger than 35 cm.

En time forut for sin tid. Om kroppen, arkeologien og Anders Nummedal
Authors: Glørstad Håkon
Published: June 2022

Anders Nummedal - one hour ahead of his time. Anders Nummedal is considered as an archaeological pioneer. In the 1910s, he developed techniques for surveying landscapes, involving systematic and physical examination of the terrain for Stone Age sites. This was in a sharp contrast to the ordinary procedure of doing Stone Age Archaeology at this time. Nummedal was in many ways different from the average pre-war archaeologist. His social habitus as well as methods for doing archaeology were, however, reproduced by the next generation of archaeologists, being part of the large social transformation of Norway form a peasant and fisher society to a social democratic welfare state. Finally, the analysis is concluded by a present example, intended to show some of the social-material thus somatic conditions that still affect the structure of the discipline.
Arkeologi mellom oppdagelse og glemsel Forståelse av et funn i en sprekk i virkeligheten
Authors: Vennatrø Ragnar

Archaeology between discovery and forgettingThe article examines an unexpected discovery of human skeletons in a hidden cave in Bølekointa at Bøle in Flatanger in mid-Norway, and focuses on how a discovery becomes archaeology, and the lifespan of archaeological finds from discovery to our oblivion. Does an archaeological find always end up as archaeology, and what is the end of an archaeological find?While climbing a gorge in a mountain at Bøle in April 1987, an auxiliary teacher at Drageid School Camp discovered the entrance to a large cave. Lacking a torch, he fumbled his way in the darkness and literally stumbled upon a human skeleton crouched by a campfire. Contrary to the view of every archaeologist concerned, the discovery was not treated as an archaeological find. The remains were in such good condition that the police launched an investigation into what they assumed was a murder case. Two human skeletons, showing signs of violent death, were removed for forensic examination. German prison records from World War II archives led historians to identify the two men as escaped Russian prisoners of war, a theory confirmed by local people. Archaeologists nevertheless insisted on a radiocarbon analysis, which dated the find to the Late Roman Iron Age and Migration period.

The establishment of the find as prehistoric also marked the end of archaeological research into the discovery, and the material was stored away for 17 years. The sudden bloom of interest in1987 withered to nothing. In an attempt to bring the skeletons out of the cupboard: how do we neglect, and forget, our discoveries and the things we find?
