Nationale Identität und ihre Zukunft
Authors: Kutzner Stefan
Published: July 2021

Sind Nationalstaatlichkeit und nationale Identitäten historisch vorübergehende Erscheinungen, die im Gefolge der Globalisierung zum Verschwinden kommen oder zumindest erheblich an Bedeutung einbüßen? Diese in verschiedenen Sozialwissenschaften immer wieder anzutreffende Ansicht wird in diesem Beitrag auf drei unterschiedlichen Ebenen behandelt. Zunächst wird darauf verwiesen, dass grundlegende klassische soziologische Paradigmen die Etablierung von Nationalstaatlichkeit im Zuge von Rationalisierungs- oder Modernisierungsprozessen gar nicht oder wenig bearbeitet haben. Danach werden exemplarisch am Beispiel der Französischen Revolution und der Nationalstaatsbildung in Deutschland im 19. Jahrhundert charakteristische Aspekte der Genese nationaler Identität dargestellt. Schließlich vertritt der Autor die These, dass nationale Identität die Funktion hat, die Bildung generalisierten Vertrauens innerhalb neu geschaffener Nationalstaaten zu unterstützen und insofern eine entscheidende Legitimitätsgrundlage nationaler Solidarität ist.
Replik auf den Diskussionsanstoß zu „Gütekriterien qualitativer Sozialforschung“ von Jörg Strübing, Stefan Hirschauer, Ruth Ayas, Uwe Krähnke und Thomas Scheffer
Authors: Schröder Frank , Schmidtke Oliver
Published: July 2021

Der Text ist eine Replik auf den Diskussionsanstoß zu Gütekriterien qualitativer Sozialforschung von Jörg Strübing et al. (2018) und der Replik der Autorengruppe (vgl. Hirschauer et al. 2019) auf die Kritik von Eisewicht und Grenz (2018). Es werden anhand der Interpretation von einzelnen Textstellen folgende Probleme der Beiträge herausgearbeitet: 1. Das Ignorieren der vorhandenen methodologischen Diskussion um Gütekriterien in der empirischen Sozialforschung. 2. Die Vermeidung der Ableitung der Notwendigkeit ansatz-übergreifender Gütekriterien aus den besonderen Bedingungen qualitativer Forschungs-prozesse, ihren typischen Problemlagen und Fallstricken. 3. Die Vermeidung von klaren Argumentationen und Schlussprozessen, die Dominanz von Mitteln der rhetorischen Manipulation sowie die implizite Diskreditierung vermeintlicher Gegenpositionen. 4. Die Diffusität der vorgeschlagenen fünf Gütekriterien, die für Konzeption und Durchführung von Forschung nicht hilfreich erscheinen und im Falle ihrer erfolgreichen Implementierung ausschließlich diskretionäre Handlungsspielräume für zukünftige gutachterliche Praxis ermöglichten.

Consumo cultural audiovisual en un grupo de secundaria de la Ciudad de México. Implicaciones simbólico-materiales
Authors: Ramírez Martínez José
Published: July 2021

El presente trabajo describe las características de consumo audiovisual de un grupo de secundaria pública general en la Ciudad de México bajo el fundamento teórico del capital cultural de Bourdieu (1993, 2011). Para ello, se recurrió a un enfoque cualitativo desde una perspectiva microetnográfica, a partir de una subdimensión denominada consumo cultural audiovisual. Los resultados muestran que la subdimensión propuesta permite explorar el tipo de contenidos que consumen y que, en este caso, corresponden con su edad de acuerdo al sistema de clasificaciones del Estado mexicano. De igual forma, se encuentra que los participantes han sustituido el consumo de contenidos de televisión abierta y de paga por las plataformas de streaming. Se concluye que los contenidos audiovisuales pudieran proveer de orientaciones académicas, lúdicas, informativas y actitudinales en los estudiantes y que la institución escolar debe hacer mayor énfasis en el currículo para atender este nuevo consumo audiovisual.
Seismic Centrifuge Modeling of a Gentle Slope of Layered Clay, Including a Weak Layer

Published: July 2021

This article presents a model preparation methodology for simulating the seismic behavior of a gentle slope in clay with the presence of a soft, weak layer employing centrifuge testing. The model consisted of a three-layered slope of relatively soft clay with a 3° inclination, representative of Brazilian marine subsoils. In-flight characterization of the undrained shear strength and shear wave velocity profiles were achieved through T-bar penetrometer and air hammer tests. The model was subjected to a series of earthquake simulations at different amplitudes, and the response was tracked with accelerometers and displacement transducers. Additional data were obtained using a particle image velocimetry (PIV) methodology also described in this work. The results show that the proposed model preparation methodology enables the simulation of the strength contrast between the weak and relatively stronger surrounding layers using a laminar container. The additional displacement and acceleration data obtained from the PIV were in good agreement with the corresponding displacement transducer and accelerometer measurements. From the spectral analysis, a shift in the fundamental period was observed as the strain amplitude was increased, suggesting that strain rate effects mobilize higher stresses and a strength rate correction should be considered for the calibration of numerical models and comparison with existing methods for calculation of dynamic displacements in slopes.
Comparative Evaluation of Surface Science Approach with Indirect Tensile Strength and Binder Bond Strength Tests to Determine Aggregate-Bitumen Bond
Authors: Mishra Vinamra , Singh Dharamveer
Published: July 2021

The present study investigated the efficacy of moisture sensitivity parameters obtained from the surface free energy (SFE) approach, namely the energy ratio (ER) and physiochemical parameters, by comparing the tensile strength ratio (TSR) and bond strength ratio (BSR) parameters, obtained from indirect tensile strength and binder bond strength tests, respectively. The bond strength against the moisture damage of basalt aggregates collected from two different sources with three different binder types, namely, unmodified (VG30), crumb rubber–modified (CRMB60), and polymer-modified (PMB40) binders, was evaluated. Results showed that both the ER parameter, which evaluates stripping potential of bitumen, and physiochemical parameters, which relate the compatibility of water with aggregate and bitumen, evaluated different rankings of an aggregate-bitumen system against moisture damage. However, the comparative study showed that physiochemical parameters evaluated similar rankings of aggregate and bitumen as obtained using TSR and BSR parameters in determining the aggregate-bitumen bond. Thus, it indicates that stripping of a binder may not always be the primary reason for moisture damage in bituminous mixes. It was observed that B2-CRMB60 with the highest ER of 0.71 was the least favorable combination in terms of resistance to moisture damage because of its lowest value of standard TSR and BSR parameters (i.e., 0.72 and 0.74, respectively) compared with five other combinations of aggregate-bitumen systems. Therefore, it is advised to carefully select the bond strength parameters to identify compatible aggregate-bitumen combinations while using the SFE approach. Further, it was found that the SFE approach is capable of addressing the complex moisture damage mechanisms in bituminous mixes; hence, it can be used for forensic investigations related to moisture damage in the field.

Published: July 2021

Aggregate is the key factor to ensure the performance of asphalt mixture. In order to analyze the impact of limestone, basalt, diabase, and steel slag on the road performance of asphalt mortar, with the ratio of mineral powder to asphalt in asphalt mortar being the same as the asphalt concrete (AC)-13 Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS) polymer–modified asphalt mixture, the four types of asphalt mortar specimens with different aggregates were designed and molded. The high-temperature performance, low-temperature performance, water stability, and fatigue performance tests were carried out to obtain the performance parameters of asphalt mortar. The multi-index weighted decision model was used to quantitatively evaluate the influence of the four types of aggregate on the comprehensive pavement performance of asphalt mortar. Results indicated that basalt asphalt mortar had the best high-temperature performance, steel slag asphalt mortar had the best low-temperature crack resistance and fatigue performance, and limestone asphalt mortar had the best water stability. Moreover, basalt asphalt mortar had the best comprehensive pavement performance. Finally, the optimized basalt asphalt mortar and steel slag asphalt mortar were applied to the engineering field, and both met the requirement.

Applying a novel systems approach to address systemic environmental injustices
Authors: Egendorf Sara Perl , Groffman Peter , Cheng Zhongqi , Menser Michael , Mun Jan , Mielke Howard
Published: July 2021

The knowledge of unsustainable human and Earth system interactions is widespread, especially in light of systemic environmental injustices. Systems science has enabled complex and rigorous understandings of human and Earth system dynamics, particularly relating to pollution of Earth’s land, water, air, and organisms. Given that many of these systems are not functioning sustainably or optimally, how might this field enable both rigorous understanding of the issues and experiments aimed at alternative outcomes? Here, we put forth a novel, multiscale systems science approach with three steps: (1) understanding the systemic issues at hand, (2) identifying systemic interventions, and (3) applying experiments to study the efficacy of such interventions. We illustrate this framework through the ubiquitous and yet frequently underrecognized issue of soil lead (Pb). First, we describe the systemic interactions of humans and soil Pb at micro-, meso-, and macroscales in time and space. We then discuss interventions for mitigating soil Pb exposure at each scale. Finally, we provide examples of applied and participatory experiments to mitigate exposure at different scales currently being conducted in New York City, NY, USA. We put forth this framework to be flexibly applied to contamination issues in other regions and to other pressing environmental issues of our time.

The life complexities of women experiencing homelessness warrants further exploration as there is insufficient information on their life’s interpersonal and structural challenges. The aim of this study is multifold: to explore the experiences of unhoused women in El Paso, Texas, a city that borders with Ciudad Juarez Mexico, to identify barriers to health and social services, to promote agency, and improve access to care. Recruitment of participants was done through partner agencies in selecting a sample of 15 Hispanic and 15 Non-Hispanic women who were experiencing homelessness and residing in local shelters in the spring of 2019. The Beck Depression Inventory II, General Self-Efficacy (GSE), and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) scales were administered to enhance understanding and knowledge on the characteristics of women with a lived experience of homelessness to learn about their interpersonal and adverse experiences and future outlook. Feminist perspective was employed as part of the theoretical framework to further explore the interpersonal and structural realities of women experiencing homelessness. Three major themes emerged: relational adversity and intimate partner violence; lack of social support; and challenges related to transitioning out of homelessness. Implications highlighted in the findings will inform health and human service providers, and decision makers about the needs of women and the importance of person-centered carer for this population. It is critical that social workers, human service practitioners, policy makers, researchers, and the general public pause, listen and understand the realities that women experiencing homelessness face and their resiliency to ensure quality services to support them transition and end homelessness.

Authors:   Universidad Autónoma Ciudad Juárez, Acosta César Octavio , Amador Nancy Alejandra
Published: July 2021

The Internet has allowed face-to-face relationships to be replicated in a virtual way. However, some of these relationships are not always healthy and are even harmful. This is the case of cyberbullying, which has a high worldwide prevalence in young people, and it is these who suffer the most from its consequences. Cyberbullying victims often have difficulties at school level, feelings of loneliness, fear, anxiety, depression, and suicidal risk. The perpetrators have difficulties in relating, are rejected, are at risk of suffering from anxiety, depression, and suicidal risk, as well as difficulty managing their emotions, low tolerance for frustration, difficulties in resolving conflicts, high justification for violence and low empathy. Programs aimed at preventing cyberbullying tend to be aimed at promoting emotional competencies and have shown favorable results in reducing the justification for violence and participation in bullying and cyberbullying. The present intervention proposal aims to influence psychoeducation in socio-emotional competencies through recreational and artistic activities through a socio-affective perspective of implementation and qualitative pre-experimental methodology with descriptive scope and selection of participants through sampling of homogeneous cases.

INTRODUCTION. Educational innovation is experiencing in Catalonia (Spain) what has begun to be called a "third pedagogical spring" that is leading to a significant increase in schools that make changes at different levels. METHOD. In this context, taking as a reference classifications of types of educational innovation (innovations in the formative structure, pedagogical, process, teacher training and the educational chain), the article presents the analysis of questionnaire carried out on the whole of the population (N) of non-university educational centers of the Territorial Education Service of Lleida (Catalonia). The intention of the questionnaire, and of the research project, was to detect: the degree of innovation of the non-university educational centers as a whole (differentiating the different educational levels), the degree to which this innovation is sustainable over time, the reasons that lead to innovation and its degree of success. In summary, the RESULTS indicate that there really is an "innovative spring" (although some levels of education are higher than others) that can be generalized, as other studies indicate, to the whole of Catalonia. This spring focuses mainly on the implementation of pedagogical actions, formative structure and with the educational chain and is motivated by the interest of improving results, motivation, learning... of students. Although entering into DISCUSSION with other studies also responds to pressure from society and families for educational change.

IMPROVING THE DESIGNING METHOD OF THERMAL NETWORKS: SERIAL CONNECTION OF STREAMS
Authors: Derevyanko Georgy V. , Mescheryakov Vladimir I.
Published: July 2021

The paper presents an approach to the design of technical systems, the elements of which are interconnected and carry out an internal exchange of energy. The above analysis showed that for heat-exchange equipment when combining devices into systems, only iterative methods are currently used, a representative of which is Pinch analysis.A limitation of the iterative approach is the impossibility of obtaining an exact solution to such problems, which can only be achieved by analytical methods, which also make it possible to reveal some effects in systems that are practically unavailable for numerical solution. This indicates the absence of a rigorous proof of the existence of a solution and a problem in the construction of approximate solutions, due to the need to involve complementary hypotheses.The topological representation of the system modules allows us to consider the architecture as a network, which contributes to the analysis of the connections between the constituent elements and the identification of their mutual influence. Highlighted the typical connections of network elements such as serial, parallel, contour, which allows to unify the principles of building connections in the system. As an optimality criterion, the NTU parameter was chosen, which includes the heat exchange surface and is usually used when searching for a solution for heat exchangers of moving objects.An analytical solution to the problem of flow distribution and energy exchange efficiency in a system of two series-connected heat exchangers is obtained. His analysis showed that the formulation of the design problem based on the definition of matrix elements in relation to determinants allows not only to meet the requirements for the system, but also to determine the design parameters of its elements that satisfy their extreme characteristics.

Published: July 2021

The research deals with improving methods and systems of control over power systems based on intellectualization of dispatch decision support. There are results of developing a principal trigger scheme of the decision support system algorithm. The proposed model of algorithm visualization in the form of a triggerstate network of the computer system provides interaction with power ob-jects of mining and metallurgical complexes and regions. A new interpretation of components of the network trigger model is intro-duced. The model is interactively related to both user-operator actions and states of power system components. With that, the state of the automata model is associated with fulfillment a set of metarules to control the logical inference.There are new forms of present-ing algorithms controlling knowledgebases that interact with the external environment and aggregate primitives of states, triggers and transactions of operations and generalize standard visualization languages of algorithms are proposed. This allows unification of smart systems interacting with theexternal environment. The authors develop models for representing knowledgebase processing algorithms interacting with power objects that combine states, triggers and transaction operations and generalize standard visualiza-tion languages of algorithms. This enables description of functioning database algorithms and their event model, which provides a reliable unification of smart systems interacting with control objects of mining and metallurgical power systems. The research solves the problem of building a knowledgebase and a software complex of the dispatch decision support system based on the data of com-putational experiments on the power system scheme. The research results indicate practical effectiveness of the proposed approaches and designed models.
Benedict XVI’s Ecumenical Dialogue with the Eastern Orthodox Church
Authors:   The Catholic Academy in Warsaw, Warzeszak Józef
Published: July 2021

The author of this article presents Benedict XVI’s ecumenical dialogue with the Eastern Orthodox Church as a whole through the speeches, declarations, and homilies that he delivered to representatives of the Eastern Church. This dialogue is undoubtedly significant. As a pope, Benedict XVI fostered and authoritatively promoted this interchange by initiating meetings, participating in communal prayer, teaching, treating those who he encountered with fraternal friendship and charity, and overcoming various obstacles. The Holy Father emphasized the theological studies that the two Churches share in common, because complete and visible communion cannot exist without unity of faith. As always – and particularly as the theologian and as the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith – he taught that both Churches could celebrate the Eucharist together only when they are fully united. When would this happen? According to Benedict XVI, such union is a gift from God for which the faithful must pray and toward which they must work by: evangelizing together, mutually resisting ideologies hostile to Christianity and humanity, ensuring peace and justice among Christians and those who follow other religions, and cooperating in charitable care of the poor, the sick, and the needy.

Cellulose as a nanostructured polymer: A short review
Authors: Ioelovich Michael
Published: July 2021

Cellulose has a complex, multi-level supermolecular architecture. This natural polymer is built from superfine fibrils having diameters in the nano scale, and each such nanofibril contains ordered nanocrystallites and low-ordered nano-domains. In this review, the nano-structure of cellulose and its influence on various properties of the polymer is discussed. In particular, the ability of nano-scale crystallites to undergo lateral co-crystallization and aggregation, as well as to undergo phase transformation through dissolution, alkalization, and chemical modification of cellulose has been the subject of investigation. The recent investigations pave the way for development of highly reactive cellulosic materials. Methods for preparation nanofibrillated cellulose and free nano-particles are described. Some application areas of the nanostruc-tured and nano-cellulose are discussed.

Published: July 2021

The St Louis Regional Pediatric Learning Collaborative of pediatric primary care providers and infectious diseases specialists formed in March 2020 to address the needs of children and families during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. More than 400 pediatric primary care providers participated, using a listserv to discuss care and organize webinars to provide updates on local and national data and plan next steps. To inform local decision-making about care and testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, 95 providers from 26 practices partnered with the local practice-based research network to rapidly collect and share data about children with COVID-19–like symptoms. Of 2162 children tested for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, 9% had positive test results. Test result positivity was 33% if a patient was exposed to a confirmed case of COVID-19 and 4% if they had COVID-19–like symptoms and no exposure. School or day care attendance was associated with lower rates of positive test results. Although not originally planned, these findings drove local advocacy efforts by the Collaborative for increased access to testing and contact tracing and safe in-person school. Members communicated directly and collectively with local politicians, provided advice and resources for school boards and superintendent groups, and appeared on various media platforms. In these efforts, they shared local data, highlighting the lower rate of positive test results for children in school to support the idea that schools could be safely open. Outreach from trusted pediatricians sharing prospective, timely, local data sustained in-person school for some districts and aided in future in-person openings for other school districts.
El programa 3x1 en México. Nuevos escenarios en la reestructuración de la agenda pública migrante
Authors: Pintor-Sandoval Renato
Published: July 2021

En este artículo se analizan los retos que enfrentarán las organizaciones de migrantes ante la cancelación del Programa 3x1 en México. Para algunos investigadores esta propuesta permitirá restringir la participación de los distintos gobiernos en inversiones sociales en los lugares de origen, con el apoyo de los migrantes; mientras que, para otros, estos recursos que provienen del carácter filantrópico de los migrantes mexicanos, mantendrán los vínculos afectivos que históricamente se han realizado con su sociedad. Se analiza como caso de estudio, el Club San José, organización que ha experimentado varios procesos: 1) el intento del gobierno por conducir los ahorros migrantes colectivos al desarrollo local; 2) su forma de organización pionera y el refuerzo de los vínculos de socialización de la organización migrante para llevar a cabo demandas de desarrollo local y 3) Su integración en la Fraternidad Sinaloense en California (FSC). Fortaleciendo sus capacidades de organización e intervención, no solo a nivel local sino bajo los diferentes grados del transnacionalismo migrante. Se concluye que el alcance de estos grupos de migrantes o asociaciones, debe partir, no sólo por el número de inversiones sociales, sino por el nivel de la organización, negociación y el campo social transnacional donde se han desempeñado.

Una de las realidades más complejas que enfrentan las personas adultas mayores es cuando se encuentran privadas de libertad en un centro penitenciario, por ello, el presente artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar acerca de sus derechos y de la importancia de hacerlos valer ante los órganos jurisdiccionales, aún y cuando han sido sentenciados por la comisión de un delito; es decir, se explicarán aspectos relativos del derecho de acceso a la justicia que tienen estas personas y el contexto en que se encuentran, pues no debe perderse de vista que la privación de libertad debe servir para los efectos de reinserción social, proteger a la sociedad contra el delito y reducir la reincidencia, pero no ser motivo para la violación de otros derechos. Por tanto, el presente artículo de enfoque cualitativo, pretende llevar a cabo un análisis documental, con la finalidad de tener una mirada de la realidad sociojurídica a la que se enfrentan.
Ciclo de protesta y cambios en el sistema de partidos español: 15M, Mareas y nuevos partidos
Authors: Revilla-Blanco Marisa , Molina-Sánchez Carlos
Published: July 2021

El propósito de este artículo es analizar las consecuencias políticas del ciclo de protesta de 2011-2016 en España; es decir, el ciclo de movilización que comenzó con la movilización del 15M y los Indignados. Establecemos que existe un vínculo directo entre el ciclo de protesta y los cambios políticos que ocurrieron. Se presentan dos análisis: por un lado, la relación entre número de manifestaciones y los cambios electorales; por otro, las semejanzas entre los perfiles de los manifestantes y de los votantes de los nuevos partidos. Los cambios que más nos interesan son la ruptura del sistema bipartidista y la emergencia de nuevos partidos políticos que logran obtener representación parlamentaria. Utilizando distintos mecanismos causales, concluimos que ambos eventos se pueden interpretar como consecuencias políticas del ciclo español de protesta.

Objetivo: comparar el perfil lipídico en equinos y analizar la correlación entre las cantidades lipídicas del suero de cuatro grupos. Materiales y Métodos: se obtuvieron muestras de sangre de 160 equinos en estado de ayuno, los cuales se diferenciaron por sexo y edad sin discriminar la raza así: machos jóvenes (40) y adultos (40), y hembras jóvenes (40) y adultas (40), las hembras no estaban preñadas; se determinaron los niveles de triglicéridos (TG), colesterol total (CT) y el colesterol de las lipoproteínas de alta densidad (C-HDL) mediante el método enzimático colorimétrico. El colesterol de las lipoproteínas de muy baja densidad (C-VLDL) y de baja densidad (C-LDL) se determinó usando las fórmulas de Friedewald. Los resultados se compararon mediante un análisis estadístico de Anova simple con el programa estadístico IBM SPSS Statistics 23®, donde se aceptaba diferencia estadísticamente significativa cuando p < 0,05. Resultados: las variables de CT, TG, C-HDL, C-LDL y C-VLDL del total de la población de acuerdo a la media y desviación estándar mostraron valores expresados en mg/dl de 100,3 ± 12,89; 45,59 ± 11,95; 62,03 ± 10,88; 27,91 ± 6,48; 9,11 ± 2. Al comparar los 4 grupos se encontró diferencia significativa en el C-HDL en los adultos (p-valor: 0,031), siendo mayor en las hembras adultas. Conclusiones: se presenta una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre género para C-HDL siendo más alto en hembras adultas, mientras que para el resto de los elementos analizados (TG, CT, C-LDL, C-VLDL) no se encontró diferencia significativa entre género y edad.

Tromsø-Konvention
Authors: Verch Ulrike
Published: July 2021

Welche Rechte haben europäische Bürger*innen, kommunale Verwaltungsakten einzusehen, Zugang zu behördlichen Daten zu erhalten oder Auskunftsansprüche gegenüber Ministerien geltend zu machen? Die Tromsø-Konvention, die durch den Europarat initiiert wurde, garantiert als weltweit erstes internationales Abkommen zur Informationsfreiheit den grundsätzlich freien Zugang für jedermann zu amtlichen Dokumenten, indem sie internationale Mindeststandards festschreibt. Sie ist am 1. Dezember 2020 in Kraft getreten ist. Im Beitrag wird beleuchtet, was genau durch die Tromsø-Konvention geregelt wird, beispielsweise die konkrete Gestaltung des Informationszugangs sowie die umfangreichen Ausnahmebestimmungen, und wo die Unterschiede zum deutschen Informationsfreiheitsrecht liegen. Abschließend werden Argumente aufgezeigt, weshalb auch Deutschland der Konvention des Europarats beitreten sollte.
Rethinking Educational Assessment from the Perspective of Design Thinking
Authors: Fisher William , Oon Emily Pey-Tee , Benson Spencer
Published: July 2021

Because human processes are subtle, complex, and contextualized, computational representations of those processes face highly significant unmet design challenges. Design Thinking (DT) offers a potential new paradigm of creativity and innovation in education capable of effecting meaningful culture change. DT is nonlinear but encompasses elements of empathy, problem definition, ideation, prototyping, and tests that may freely move as needed from and to each other. DT's empathic focus on end users' needs suggests educational measurement's information infrastructures will have to coherently integrate assessment and instruction across multiple levels of complexity in communication. Applying DT reveals the need to attend to previously undeveloped technical issues in communication. Especially important are developmental, horizontal, and vertical forms of coherence, and denotative, metalinguistic, and metacommunicative levels of complexity. New solutions emerge when classrooms are reconceived as meta-design ecosystem niches of creativity and innovation structured from the bottom up by flows of self-organizing information. Recently identified correspondences between educational measurement and metrology support efforts aimed at developing multilevel common languages for the communication of learning outcomes. Prototype reports illustrate how emergent measured constructs can be brought into language in ways that integrate developmental, horizontal, and vertical coherence across levels of complexity. Coherent information infrastructures of these kinds are capable of adapting to new circumstances as populations of persons and items change, doing so without compromising the continuity of comparisons or the uniqueness of locally situated knowledge and practices.
KEMAMPUAN HIDUP DAN TUMBUH IKAN KEMURING, Striuntius lineatus (Duncker, 1904) ASAL PULAU BANGKA PADA TAHAP AWAL DOMESTIKASI
Authors: Wahyu Wahyu , Prasetiyono Eva
Published: July 2021

Ikan kemuring, Striuntius lineatus (Duncker, 1904), merupakan salah satu ikan lokal yang berpotensi untuk dikembangkan menjadi ikan hias. Ikan ini tergolong sulit didapatkan akibat rusaknya habitat oleh aktivitas manusia. Ikan ini merupakan ikan yang rentan stres dan mudah mengalami kematian. Domestikasi adalah salah satu upaya mencegah terjadinya kepunahan terhadap populasi spesies yang terancam siklus hidupnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji kemampuan hidup dan performa pertumbuhan ikan kemuring dalam akuarium, serta mengetahui kualitas air yang mendukung pemeliharaan ikan kemuring. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif. Untuk melihat hubungan antara sintasan dengan kualitas air dianalisis menggunakan analisis PCA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ikan kemuring mampu hidup dan tumbuh pada wadah akuakultur. Nilai sintasan, pertumbuhan bobot mutlak, panjang mutlak, dan laju pertumbuhan spesifik masing-masing sebesar 93,33 ± 0,06%; 1,70 ± 0,31 g; 10,29 ± 1,02 mm; dan 0,96 ± 0,19% bobot tubuh/hari. Nilai suhu, pH, DO, TDS, TAN, dan kesadahan untuk pemeliharaan ikan kemuring didapatkan nilai masing-masing sebesar 28,72 ± 0,44°C; 6,28 ± 0,82; 5,81 ± 0,77 mg/L; 0,48 ± 0,16 mg/L; 2,50 ± 1,01 mg/L; dan 106,67 ± 55,73 mg/L. Berdasarkan analisis PCA, sintasan ikan kemuring di wadah pemeliharaan dipengaruhi oleh suhu, pH, DO, TAN, dan kesadahan.Lined barb is one of the local fish from Bangka Island that can be developed as a farmed ornamental fish. The fish is now rarely found in the wild due to its extensive habitat destruction by human activities. The fish is also relatively easy to get stressed and died. Domestication offers a solution to prevent the extinction of this fish population. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the survival and growth performance and determine the optimum rearing condition of lined barb in an aquarium setting. This research was carried out as an experimental study. The collected data were analyzed descriptively. The relationship between survival and water quality was determined using PCA analysis. The results showed that lined barbs were able to survive and grow in the aquaculture rearing media. The values of survival rate, absolute weight growth, absolute length, and specific growth rate were 93.33 ± 0.06%, 1.70 ± 0.31 g, 10.29 ± 1.02 mm, and 0.96 ± 0.19% body weight/day, respectively. The average values of temperature, pH, DO, TDS, TAN, and hardness were 28.72 ± 0.44°C, 6.28 ± 0.82, 5.81 ± 0.77 mg/L, 0.48 ± 0.16 mg/L, 2.50 ± 1.01 mg/L, 106.67 ± 55.73 mg/L, respectively. Based on the PCA analysis, the survival of lined barbs in aquaculture containers was influenced by temperature, pH, DO, TAN, and hardness of its rearing media.
